Why aren't you playing the best Total War game of all time?They've fixed it.THEY'VE FIXED EVERYTHING...(and new DLC in 4 weeks)
because im waiting for the new DLC to drop
>>746626243I hate total war games. The battles are some of the most boring shit you'll ever experience. They are only tolerable if you autoresolve every fight but then you'll end up losing to many units. The games would have been 100 times better if the battles were like in Heroes of Might & Magic.
>>746626294Same, I literally can't enjoy the game while a new one is on the way, the game just feels incomplete during that time
>fixed>post-Glottkin nurgle where everything looks even more cartoonish than the daemons that had to be reined in by fucking AoS of all things>Also Thanquol and BorisNigga shut yo dimb ass up
Nah, they started releasing DLCs with less content and a higher price tag. Fuck you CA I am not funding another Hyenas for you fucks. And TW WH 40k looks like a dumbed down version of TW:WH3.
>>746627514I'm not seeing the cartoonishness in op's pic
>>746626243>Why aren't you playing the best Total War game of all time?Not on GOG. I'm not a steam cuck.
>>746627342>help I don't understand basic military tactics but I tried to play the best military tactics games of all time!>legendary games are boringI hope this is bait but you're probably just a retard lashing out
>>746626243>the best Total War game of all time?That's Shogun 2, though
>>746626243Fuck you bloody, basterd beach.They didn't fix shit and they won't because they can't.Also they already fucked up "the end times" because they didn't fix or improve AI. So every single faction will be steamrolled into dirt by immortal archeon. Still playing this shit because it's the best.Fuck you bloody once again.
>>746628647Military tactics stopped mattering after Medieval 2
>>746626243>3+ years>still emptyI am forgotten...
>>746626243>THEY'VE FIXED EVERYTHING...You're telling me they got rid of DLC?!
>>746628647No matter how you frame it waiting for 20 minutes while 2 armies of tiny ants duke it out with barely any input required from your part is fucking boring
They fixed the dogshit campaign AI so they don't cheat and aren't retarded with anti player bias?
>>746628749Just mod it in. It's fun to just send shit down there to see what happened.>>746628724is AI still passive?
>>746628812But that's why 2 was good.
>>746628749Not empty enough. The oriental area sucks ass and I hate how old LLs were shuffled to be in that cesspit. Lokhir and Snikch are my two favorites and now they must be in the shittest area of the world.
>>746628802>barely any inputyou're doing it wrong>>746628734no it didn't. everything after Napoleon sucks for different reasons, but Warhammer is what destroyed the game with all the hero bullshit.
So what's Archaon's new gimmick in the End Times?
>>746629034>>barely any input>you're doing it wrongWhat if he's playing WoC?
>>746629034Rome 2 already killed the series and company. Total Warhammer barely saved them and was a much better game than their previous output. You're applying historical revisionism based on how awful TWWH3 was.
>>746627607they're covered in Nickelodeon Gak.they are literally hollow and don't have guts despite being bloated.
>>746629034>you're doing it wrongI could get through battles that the autoresolve was losing half my army to with barely any losses consistently, so clearly I was doing something right.I just didn't have any fun doing that.Further discussion is pointless as you are entrenched in the position that anyone who doesn't like your favorite game is bad at said game.
>>746626243Sige rework anyone?
>>746626243I'm hyped for play my boy thanquil... that's itit's pretty boring otherwise
>>746629314oh, so now you say it was just too easy? >>746629182Rome 2 is awesome. The QoL improvements were great. We just lost the larpers who couldn't handle the depth of gameplay, like you I guess.>oh no, a PC game got an aggregate 7/10 when it released with bugsyou weren't there. you know nothing of my history.
>>746629240I can clearly see guts in that huge gaping hole
>>746627342I want to like total war but the battles are boring as fuck. I don't get what was wrong with the RTS game method where you have control and responsive units, especially when you look at games with good visual design like wc3 instead of gay ass modern 3D where you can't see shit.
>>746628749*IEEs in your path*
>>746632113and PS: warhammer tabletop actually is the perfect example of good visual design since the proportions are exaggerated so you can actually get some personality from your army men
>>746628812Yes, actually.They also gave an option where dudes you killed won't instantly respawn.GAME = FIXED
>>746629036He's incredibly hard to kill with 95% ward save or someshit, need to take down his armies that spawns around your provinces to weaken himAll the good factions can band together regardless of diplomacy (so if you're at war with someone, they can join up with you until Archaons gone)Map turns red, looks kinda cool and spooky
>>746626243I never buy these games because they always have DLCs that are in the hundreds of bucks total and in the back of my autistic mind I'd always think "I'm missing out" because I didn't spend that money.
>>746632345Just use CreamAPI to get the DLC for free
Still playing 2 instead because 3 feels formatted as fuck, every campaign feels the same
>>746632497I'm worried about getting my steam account banned if I use that.And I don't want to constantly juggle between multiple steam accounts in order to play my games.
>one hundred australian dollarydoos plus DLC taxno thanks
>>746626243>Beastmen attacking my city>Okay WTF, fuck you>Attacks beastmen>DURR YOUR RELIABILITY IS NOW VERY LOW BECAUSE YOU DECLARED WAR!!!>Everyone declares war on me because I am 'not reliable' and I lose instantlyGreat game.
>>746626243Let us see how they further fix siege battles.>>746628749Eventually they will have to expand it. Eventually they WILL also add Nippon.
>>746632862I don't see them adding Nippon because there's only one place they could put Nippon and that's off the coast of Cathay. Which would greatly upset the feelings of the many Chinese players.
>>746633345Lol. Don't care.Also:>GW did say that once they are done with the legacy factions and races, they will be focusing on Cathay, Kislev and move more to other parts of The Old World.>There is a quickly growing fanbase in Japan.>As long as there are people who will want to pay money for this stuff, GW and CA will produce it.So no. This is inevitable in the end.
>>746632345The trick is to have been in since day one in 2016.
>>74663373815 bux every few months for a game you really enjoy is really nothing in the grand scheme of things>the gacha players way of thinkingWarhammerbros...?
>>746627514Cause the Blightking redesign shifted the focus from Blight to King. They all have huge crowns of horns and royal red robes now cause regular shit flinging got pushed down to the new Rotsword foot soldiers
>>746633517Anon, the Tomb King are just getting their refresh in a couple of months, we are still like a decade + away from GW bothering to do Nippon, Ind, Khosun or Khuresh
>>746635017Khuresh.Still inevitable and will wait to when I'm 100 if I have to.
>>746635067but will you buy the models anon?
>>746635208Gladly will.But seriously, Nippon needs to be expanded. And considering what Japan has, they'd definitively be on pair with Cathay and Kislev in terms of having a mostly human roster, but with yokai and Nipponese Ogre auxilia to back them up...not to mention wacky arsenal of guns and siege weapons.
Steam randomly gave it to me when I bought the first one. I can see the appeal but dont have the autism to get into them fully.
>>746626243
>>746635671Yeah, CA did that so that even if you only buy Warhammer 1 or 2, you can still play the full IM map with all the quality-of-life features that weren't in the previous games.kinda just wish CA would put the smaller campaigns into Warhammer 3 though
>>746632850>Beastmen attacking my city>Attacks beastmen>DURR YOUR RELIABILITY IS NOW VERY LOW BECAUSE YOU DECLARED WAR!!You really didn't think this larp through
>>746635017Are Japan and India equivalents of WH Fantasy really called Nippon and Ind? How very creative of Games Workshop.
>>746636793the india equivalent in warhammer is skavenblight
>>746626243they fixed the entire ai system the game is based around? i no longer need to spend the entire battle babysitting retarded units that drop orders randomly, get stuck on terrain, start circling routing units instead of attacking, refuse to pull out of combat, refuse to fire, randomly lose all momentum in a charge and straight up die from elevation changes?
>>746636793>Are Japan and India equivalents of WH Fantasy really called Nippon and Ind?Yes, it's not like Cathay is any more creative since that is just an old word for China.
I'm waiting for Nagash to come out. Also tired of seeing nurgle shit so much so I'm just gonna wait.
>>746626243I'm waiting for the Neferata FLC.
>>746626243because i don't know what mods i want to use
>>746626243>Why aren't you playing the best Total War game of all time?
>>746626243I recently started but I can't be the only one who thinks the map is just too compact, right? Even though the map is huge there's just way too many factions that aren't spread out enough, you run into a clusterfuck as soon as you start and there's no stopping until you're done (or very late game when you're basically strong enough to just counter everything). Also the ai player bias is retarded in this game, I tried playing as beastmen and they literally hunted me down across the world, abandoning their own provinces just to hunt me with their armiesSo instead of releasing even more factions and filling out an already cluttered world, why not try to expand the map slightly to leave at least SOME empty room, and maybe do some work on performance and ai aswell
Piece by piece, province by province, I'm bringing Solland back.
Can you still use cream API to unlock all the DLC for free?
>>746636127Why the fuck would the Empire, humans opposed to Beastmen, give a fuck about some lizards executing some violent nigg- Sorry I mean beastmen.
>>746628749this was like, one of the very first mods for IE
>>746642063They could probably expand the entire world surface by 10% to leave some breathing room between factions and making the performance 20% faster by making the ai work smarter, but there's no money in that. They rather just pump out more faction DLCs for money since the game is basically over soon
>there's ogres and kangz between me and Vlad>anti-player bias makes Vlad declare on me before bordering my territories>I pull every. single. faction. that borders him into war with him>he's now spread so thin I have enough time to march my army towards him before his invasion comes>in the end every good army of his gets rekt and all he's left with now is LARPing as Ghorst
>>746626243>fixed everythingoh so sieges are not complete shit now?
>>746642429They don't anon you made that up
>>746644542They're reworking sieges for the 27th time in 9.1, which will SURELY make them fun this time.
>>746626243Because I wasted too much time with it already I don't want to waste more time.
>>746626294This. My past decade of gaming and like ~2500 hours clocked in this trilogy has cleanly been described by this guy’s 9 word comment.
>>746626243>new dlc>bone pope>gayest of seers>the other big centerpiece model from end times>a literal who vanilla lord thats been in the game since the first one launchedOne of these things is not like the others
Cant wait for the DLC to break something but then this time they wont bother fixing it because total war 40k is about to come out.
>>746626243I'll probably play some more when the DLC is out.
>>746644697>Game lacks unique siege engines or equipment >AI is super exploitable and pathfinding breaks easily >No way to make the actual siege take a reasonable amount of time>No siege camp scenarios where you have a smudge if advantage against an enemy that decides to sally out >Cheesing them is faster and more efficient for continuing a military campaign afterwards >*Check what the cattle says online*>Let's remove ass ladders! The problem with sieges is that they're not enough of a snore! It needs to be more realistic!!!!You can always count on reddits and co. to point at a stopgap solution and call it the cause.
>>746644881>a literal who vanilla lord thats been in the game since the first one launched who was already dlc but only for multiplayer and long ago promised to be added fully later (with the implication of owning that prior dlc counting as ownership) who frankly has little relevance to the whole endtime theme of this dlcFtfy.Not even to mention the hilariously OP units he gets that entirely destroy the empire’s racial identity. Literally equal attention cake for empireddit fags.
>>746626243Creamapi makes the game crash and I refuse to buy 100+ dollars of dlc
>>746645234Empire infantry was always meant to beat Chosen!
>>746644881Todd has a certain meme status in the community which has greatly boosted his popularity despite being a very minor character previously. Who’s gimmick is beefing with fucking Khazak of all people. A 94 IQ beastman.
>>746632739>plus DLC taxHaha wouldn't it be funny if there was like 400 dollars of dlc you HAD to buy to access most of the content in the game haha
>>746644661Literally happened on my current playthrough, declaring war on beastmen raiders crippled my reliability score
>>746632648Ive used creamapi since it came out, in total warhammer 2 as well and no bans. You basically would have to be manually checked by the devs to be banned and no dev or publisher is going to check individual customers
>>746645598Either a bug, or you had a non aggression with fucking beastmen and didn't click the "I can declare war on you without penalties" button before breaking the treaty.One is a bug curiously never before reported by anybody else until this point, while the other is a skill issue.
>>746645598Which lord? Did they start with an alliance or NA with the beastmen?
>>746627598Its actually just Empire At War but they took out the space naval battles
>>746644881>>the other big centerpiece model from end timesYou know as someone who doesn't care for Nurgle, the End Times being so heavy in Nurgle imagery really drives home how shit it is.
>>746626243I bet they didn't fix sieges
>>746645801Kroq Gar, no alliance or NA pact with the beastmen, and they were fucking raiding my capital lmao.
>>746645157No ladders... I guess helps from the perspective of actually defending a settlement, so the walls actually do something to the AI. The """fantasy""" of defending a city from a siege is better, I guess. I mean not much better, a few factions still have no real choice but to abandon the walls entirely, and the removal of ladders does nothing to deal with the walls being a place where units are sitting ducks for every manner of fucked up shit. But yeah, the fundamental issue that sieges are boring, unfun pits where unit ai is already worse than average, and the ideal strategy is park a wizard right under the walls and kill every single unit ordered to stand on top of him until army losses, has not changed. I certainly won't be turning them back on.
>>746641292Normally I wouldn't defend such blatant jewery, but most of those DLCs are very unique in terms of Steam implementation, because they work for all 3 TWW games.
>>746642427>>746642427>>746642427>>746642427anybody?
>>746626243>THEY'VE FIXED EVERYTHING...did they fix the godawful retarded AIbecause even when I saw gameplay vids of Total War 40k the AI still looks retarded
>>746626243I put in over 1k hours between December and like June. I'm burned out.
>>746628812The cheating is fixed by lowering campaign difficulty. That's literally what the difficulty is, bonuses to make the AI more difficult. As for the player focus, I heard it was supposedly gone but I have not played recently.
>>746626243you mean timing attacks, logistics, cavalry mount/dismount, naval ship battles and weather affecting combat is back?
>>746641292You really don't need to buy all the DLCs, just for whatever you actually intend to play. Like if you're going to play Dwarfs you do not need to buy some Chaos daemon DLC because it will make quite literally no difference to your Dwarf campaign. All the content is already on the map in terms of AI factions even if you don't own them, buying a faction DLC only allows you to play as that faction and recruit any special units associated, but if you're not actually playing said factions then it does nothing at all.
>>746648536I would actually like Naval Combat if they actually invested time in adding more naval factions to go with it. Could come with the Vampire Coast overhaul. I want to see the Slayer Pirates and Klak Skurvy.
>>746642427>>746646931If creamapi ever stops working, the /v/ catalog will be flooded with complaints about it, so you'll know.
>>746636793The Holy Roman Empire equivalent is called the EmpireThe China equivalent is called CathayThe Arthurian and French knight amalgamation is called BretonniaThe Nordic equivalent are called Norsca
I have 2000 hours played in this series across Medieval 2, Shogun 2, Three Kingdoms, and the Warhammer trilogy, and yet am still complete shit at battles. I'm basically guaranteed to lose any battle that I play manually if the game doesn't calculate it as a decisive victory.How do you git gud?
>>746626243>Kiddies first strategy gamePass.
>>746650072Corner campCheckerboardsBig Ball of Violence
>>746627607>>746632079Does that look like realistic rotting flesh and gore to you? OP looks very cartoony to me.
>>746626243>THEY'VE FIXED EVERYTHING...They never fixed units trying to climb ladders instead of going through the open door. I first made this webm back in 2024 showing the issue (And sent it to CA) and it still fucking happens. You can test it right now on a siege map by breaking the door open and trying to send your infantry inside while having a ladder up against the wall. 5~ go through the door and the rest all try to climb the ladder. Only way to make it not happen is to never use ladders at all so they are forced to go through. This shit never happened in WH2 because units were smart enough to go through the gate.
