Am I missing out on fun if i auto-resolve all encounters because idk how to fight battles?
If you just like painting the map there's no harm in just autoresolving. The battles can be fun, but overwhelming if you don't know what to do. If you wanna try to learn them better pick a faction without many gimmicks, like Dwarfs don't have any cavalry and are very good at holding the line and doing standard tactics so you could try to learn with them.
>>749020986I usually fight the first fights manually because they are quite fun.Then once I have artillery I also play a couple manually just to see if I can break the enemy's morale before he even arrives at my front lines.Once I reach the point where I am starting to approach death stacks and would have to fight 4-5 battles per turn, I just auto resolve everything to save time.Btw, how are the Nagash and Glottkin DLCs?
>>749020986Play a paradox game instead.
The game is literally about fighting battles you retarded nigger.
>>749020986Not really. If you prefer the map part of the game more then feel free to autoresolve. Do try a few battles though just to see if it's something you enjoy or not.
>>749021720no?if you play the game at any high skill you'd know ranked pvp matches disable battles because otherwise a game takes real life weeks to complete
>>749020986DependsMost factions are ass until the moment you get a high level army since no matter how you use your turn 1 units - they are axiomatically shit unlike in Shogun 2Some are too micro dependent and were made for the multiplayer/moba crowd and are cancer
>>749020986Battles aren't that hard once you get the basics down bro. For most factions all you need is a line of 8 solid infantry units, 3 or 4 ranged, an arty or two, then whever the fuck you want for the rest. Infantry line in front, archers and arty behind that, everything else on the flanks or guarding the ranged (or killing the enemy ranged), maintain that general layout when moving around the battle map, spread out of they have magic, then abuse the shit out of your magic and terrain and your lords at every opportunity, you can almost never go wrong... unless you're outnumbered like 5 to 1, then yeah you gotta take it like a man obviously. Also, put battle difficulty on normal and never turn up, the stat buffs are retarded artificial difficulty that makes everything unfun. If you want a fair difficulty up, up the campaign to hard or very hard or legendary so the enemy fields more units instead. It's much more fun and thematic to fight an gigahorde of normal rats than a normal horde of gigarats, or demons, or greenskins, whatever.
>>749020986Sex with Morathi
>>749022585Do Nurgle and Slaanesh have a joint STD venture? Morathi looks (and behaves) like she snorts ketamine off dicks and has all of the STD strains in Nagaroth
>>749022071There's seriously competitive multiplayer where they just play out the campaign map? That seems insanely fucking retarded, I thought multiplayer in TW was based around the actual multiplayer mode that lets you make an army with point buy and then play against others
>>749022665Morathi is on the level of whoredom where she takes great care of not getting an STD as to not get in the way of her sluttery. She's unironically completely healthy.
>>749021720It's a turn based strategy game with an optional real time tactics mini game.
>>749020986Wow sexy woman wat game
>>749022869But the turn based portion is broken and lacks depth.
>>749022894Total War Warhammer 3
>>749023058TyFun?
If I didn't bought any DLC, example Empire, I don't have access to the new units like those Ulric greatweapons?
Before I give this any more attention, how much DLC and other nickle and dime shit is in this?
>>749023192This is with most of it on sale for 50% off.
>>749023143I have 1k hours between 1,2 and 3 so no, I don't reccomend it, it sucks Yeah its pretty fun but you need to pirate all the DLCs to get the full experience. >>749023192Creamapi everything or some factions will miss some really cool units and lords.
>>749022679No, anon is being retarded
>>749020986You're missing out on AT LEAST 50% of the game by auto resolving everything and it's telling how more and more fags feel the need to ask "am i retarded for auto resolving?" the more popular the series becomes.
What are some other games where you're actively encouraged not to play the game?
>>749023265>CreamapiI've never used Creamapi cause I'm scared of Gabe Newell flying over my house and blowing it up.
>>749023265>Creamapi everything or some factions will miss some really cool units and lords.I never used it. Is there a guide for dummies?
>>749023435>>749023503I haven't used it in years because I'm caught up with the DLCs now, but I'm sure on /twg/ (in /vg/) someone can help you out.Just be careful with the snipers, Gabe hired at least 10 to come after me.
>>749020986Watching the little dudes fight is 80% of the fun imo.If you just want to build cities through a turn based menu you should play Civilization or Endless legend.I do auto-resolve every siege battle, however
>>749020986>because idk how to fight battles?How about you learn?>>749022564If you use normal you are incentivized to always autoresolve because autoresolve goes MASSIVELY in your favor. Unironically hard is better for new players.
>>749023395Those AAA games that sell you "time saver packs" that are actually just cheat weapons and free xp.I think Ubisoft does that a lot
>used to struggle with battles>download a mod that liimts army size to 12 units>feels much better>eventually edit it to allow 15 units>perfectionThis was a game changer for me. 20v20s or, god forbit, 40v40s are too chaotic for me and not fun at all.
>>74902418240 vs 40 is honestly just cancer. 20 vs 20 is fine.
>>749020986No, I only fight the big battles, rest I autoresolve
>>749020986You're missing out on fun by playing Dark Elves.
>>749024396t. Asur trash
>>749024479Elves have been left behind by the times I'm afraid, but DEs especially. Malekith might genuinely be one of the most boring campaigns in the game as of now.
>>749021407Nagash is a legit OP monster, but he is suppose to be, he has an insane skill tree in the "Black Pyramid" and can solo entire armies alone, he has all the undead roster so you pick what you want and is probably the most real fun you can have painting the map in his new super undead corruption (since it gives you more points in your pyramid) glottkins are cool but really the star is the bone daddy, the Vampire reworks (thank god, they are fun now) and the new End Times scenarios Bretonnia when?
I think auto replenishment is cancer and has ruined Total Warhammer specifically.I think the AI is dogshit and has ruined every single TW game, from Rome to Shogun 2 to Attila. I can't even play some wacky Total War roguelite(Tabletop tavern) without being disappointed in how shit the AI is.
>>749023951You use normal difficulty because otherwise you will start cheating to win. Source look up anybody who plays on legendary difficulty.
>>749024916Just play on hard. It's a middle ground.And no, you don't need to cheese like Legend to win on Legendary, you only need to cheese like that if you want a turn 100 world conquest with 0 defeats while playing a "this is total war" campaign. You can play the game with little to no cheesing if you simply accept sometimes you'll lose an army.
>>749020986>easiest total war in the franchise>still can't win battleslol
>>749025042On normal the ai creates armies from nothing, im not giving him anymore advantages. Doesnt help that morale is a dice roll.
>>749025395completely wrong. what are you smoking?
>>749020986just play the excel sheet simulators like paradox or civ at this point
If i set the vermintide to before turn 60 im underprepped, but after turn 60 i cant pay attention anymore
Fine, I'm doing it, I'm going for the Legendary campaign achievementBut with the VCO mod because the vanilla ones are always cancer.
>>749021720They're more 4X games than they are RTS games.
>>749023503>I never used it. Is there a guide for dummies?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKtG1Fy-fBA
>>749026412can't you do those achievements on Very HardI am also waiting on VCO to update with Nefertitties before playing her though
>>749020986It should be obvious to you what the answer is. Good luck with the no skip fights
I think a lot of people will have a bad experience with the game if they auto resolve every battle where they win but have to fight manually when the odds are actually stacked against you.Play your battles.
>>749020986The more you do that, the worst it gets.Also don't play easy battle.Play on Normal campaign (or even Easy) and Very Hard battles, and put the AI stat bonuses wherever you want them.
>>749020986The Modern audience for Total War, everyone. Thank you CA for pushing out the chudlet grognards now you get excellent tactical players such as op in your games for the Wide Audience.
>>749020986How the fuck do people like you even have the will to boot up this shitty game? I swear I don't even mean this as an insult but the single fun aspect of Total Warhammer III is managing to assemble a busted army that you can observe tear shit up in real time. Literally what is there other than that?
>>749026412>>749027239There's one for completing a single campaign (any one) on Legendary. I suggest the Changeling since it's impossible to lose or even take significant setbacks, even if your army wipes you can just spend a couple turns rebuilding it and not lose any "territory" so a win is inevitable given time.
there should be a mod that lets you watch your squad battle without playing instead of autoresolve so you can see your army in action and accomplish the same thing
>>749028880melty over what?
>>749031112https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3787823404
>>749020986>missing out on I BREAK THE SEAL. as Nagash summons 3 separate vortexes around himAnd the multitude of other examples of god tier voice acting during battles.
Is soboro still the best lewd model modder?
>>749031728I think the modder was Lazy Lacarius or somethingSoboro just makes the porn, and yes, he's still the only one who consistently pumps out warhammer fantasy porn
Vampire Counts gaming
>>749032057does this actually work?
>>749020986Decisive victories are normally boring shit stomps and deserve to be auto resolved. But other outcomes can be fun. That being said, just download a mod that makes auto resolve harder, it makes a big difference.
>>749032140Yes because your main damage comes from your lord spamming winds of death.
>>749032140Yes, even without winds of death, because the damage the enemy melee units deals is shared between like 10 different units, so the cavarly charge instead of deleting a zombie unit, kills 1 zombie from each unit, which passively regenerates and comes back to life as long as your lord is casting spells in the centerWinds of death is the upgrade that allows such a battle to not take 40 minutes as the zombies slowly kill the enemy with 15 kills per unit
Siege battles have never been worse. The latest patch fucked up flying units so they no longer even path over buildings correctly. If you're not going to take much damage AR every fucking one of those.
>>749020986>Am I missing out on fun if i auto-resolve all encounters because idk how to fight battles?No. I use a mod in Elden Ring that lets me one shot all enemies and bosses so I can focus on exploring and building my character.
>>749032007Lazy Icarus doesn't do Warhammer mods anymore
>>749020986Most battles are easily won that auto resolve will claim aren't in your favor but the choice is yours. Even on legendary, any basic anvil hammer (whether it's cycle cavalry, monster, artillery, or just a fuck ton of missile units) takes care of even several doomstacks being thrown at you.
I haven't played WH3 in like 2-3 years, are any of the DLC lords and factions they added since then really fun?I liked Wood/Dark Elves, Warriors of Chaos and Skaven
>>749020986Yes. It's basically the point of the series, otherwise you are playing the auto-resolve balance game where all you ever recruit are missile units and high MD and armor melee.
>>749034132Tamurkhan is greatYou finally get Thanquol
>>749033709He still maintains the base corruption framework which is the backbone of almost every lewd mod that isn't a simple reskin.Every other mod uses that framework, even ones he didn't personally handle the corruption stages for (like Allarielle's)
>>749034658why can't people have fun in a different way
Which faction has the least micromanaging besides dwarves?
>>749037689Don't know if you mean during battles or on the campaign map, but Wood Elves are pretty simple in bothYou can teleport between trees you have unlocked and in battle they can easily be played as a mainly ranged attack faction which is probably the easiest to manage, Sisters of Twilight are also super fucking OP
I beat the game only knowing how to set up basic bitch artillery spam with a few handgunners and spearmen to defend them and knowing absolutely no mechanics about the enemies I was fighting.There's like 3 armies that were even a fucking problem in the entire campagain.Once you start unlocking unique artillery/handgun units you liquify everything before it can even get close to you.
>>749020986>mfw there are people who play Total War games but don't fight their own battlesWhat's even the appeal? Map painting?
>>749037689Lizardmen are very front-towards-enemy
>>749039070yes. the campaign is actually pretty fun even if you don't enjoy the tactical battles.
>>749039070I was so fortunate to get into TW when Shogun 2 released and realized that wasn't really for me. Fortunately, Paradox released Sengoku at the time which fulfilled my craving for feudal Japan strategy without combat.
>>749039070I also don't understand this, there are far better games if you don't mind staring at a map the whole time.
>>749020986>Am I missing out on fun if i auto-resolve all encounters because idk how to fight battles?Nu-TW niggers... JSID
>>749020986The battles and strategy are the best part, especially watching animations. Late game though yeah it's a logistics simulator, playing out so many battles isn't that fun
>>749023192Most of the dlc isn't needed to play and most base factions are good enough, buy it... You can just creamAPI it. Only a few DLC are essentially to enjoyment like Warlock for Skaven or WoC, or Yuan Bo for Cathay, but there's a lot of free dlc
>>749031025Changeling is a bit too OP to enjoy on legendary even with shit Tzeentch units and about as many armies as you can afford, imo the perfect Legendary campaign is something difficult but not ballbustingly so like Elspeth or Yaun Bo or Settra. Certain current campaigns are CBT at the start like Boris (Emp) or Imrik
>>749039070I could see it for people who want simplified versions of Paradox games
>>749020986No but you will take losses you wouldnt take if you did it manually, lose fights you wouldnt have lost, and miss an entire element of the game.
>>749040839Elspeth is ball busting? She seemed easy when I played her on release. Did she get nerfed?
>>749039478Such as?
Is VCO worth using for first timer since everyone is saying the vanilla VCs are shit?
>>749031728Where do I get good smut mods? >>749032007Playing a Neferata campaign right now and shes broken as fuck. Wouldn't mind her being a slut either.
>>749033709We only have 1 good coomer modder till this day and he fucked off too now? I still use his miaoying and katarina reskin. The other I use is lig but his reskins are just hit or miss
>>749020986>Am I missing out on fun if i auto-resolve all encounters because idk how to fight battles?Yes, but also don't feel bad about quick saving and trying winnable battles repeatedly until you figure out how to win them
>>749020986it dependsIf you have a faction that requires actual thought, yesShit like kiting with skirmish, assassin heroes, calvary charges and especially magic can be funOn the other hand it can be extremely fucking tedious with shit like nurgle or vampire countsor worse gun armies because they still fucked up the aiming
>>749043059The new Vampire Counts you mean? I think their rework is pretty neat.
>>749020986YesNever autoresolve any fight (except sieges sometimes) before turn 20Afterward only manually resolve if you want a bit of fun or if the auto resolve will lose you more time in the strategic layer than you would lose fighting it in the tactical. You cannot map paint while manually fighting every battle if that is your goal, you'll take dozens of hours
>>749043059Yeah you can consider using it, the vanilla victory conditions can feel random and frustrating>>749043218He means the victory conditions
>>749043182is that a 911 joke?
>>749042941No she's in the "challenging, but not a ball buster" camp, much like Settra or Yuan Bo. She has some challenge in her matchups and location but she isn't designed to punish and spank the player for breathing
>>749043871I find Settra to be one of the most brutal campaigns in the game, and found her and Yuan Bo to be pretty easy. I dunno. I dont see how they are comparable.
>>749043212Nurgle is fun for a few battles and VC can be engaging if you actually use the roster, but if you're playing herohammer you may as well autoresolve
>>749037689I don't have the "ball of violence" picture, but Greenskins are meme'd as take your ladz, move them to the enemy, win. >Pic NOT related
>>749043951i would put yuan bo in the ball busting camp, together will marcus. elspeth is much easier than either of them. maybe i'm just bad at videogames
>>749044084Marcus is pretty rough sure. I dunno, the one Yuan Bo campaign I did was pretty easy but things may have changed since then. His special mechanics were crazy strong.
>>749043951What parts of Settra are brutal? I'll admit dealing with Skarbrand is a big challenge but having infinity stacks and being the most powerful lord in the entire zone other than Nagash and Manny(who jobs to Settra in anything but a spell contest still) let's you get away with silly shit. On top of having good items and his chariot allowing him to mass slaughter infantry, Settra is only so hard in that he's exposed on all sides. Yuan Bo can be hard if you pull double duty on capturing Lustria and saving China, and though Elspeth can be powerful late game the empire is a faction that struggles early in terms of good units, but those are the most crucial points for Elspeth in fighting vampcunts and ogres. At any point after then 50 in any campaign it's mostly a logistics question though. I suppose a game of comparable challenge to Settra would be Queek who also has few friends and is often in an exposed position.Though I also consider Imrik one of the hardest campaigns
>>749037689khorne is click on the enemy: the faction. Dwarfs can be fairly intensive if you have a lot of ranged units or slayers to flank with. Or war machines
>>749044084>>749044156It depends how much you try to do for both Elspeth and Yuan Bo I think. Both lords have OP mechanics and are strong as fuck, but they have the potential to end up dealing with a lot of nonsense themselves. Markus was strong formerly and now he's just in a shit spot
>>749044221Primarily Skarbrand. Nothing you have access to is a good answer for him. Havent played since the new content dropped but I would assume Nagash is probably brutal and hes surrounded by hostile LLs.
>>749043951is Morathi better? I remember her being a nightmare sandwiched between the Lizards, the Wood elves and the High Elves. any where you went was gonna piss off some of them and they were all gonna dogpile you eventually.>Morathi showing her starting position in TW2
>>749044405I dont think I have ever played Morathi but you are probably right.
>>749044384Nagash is easy, since he is freaking Nagash. Everyone is saying stuff like Sister are OP ect but they made our man BROKEN as fuck on purpose (since he is freaking Nagash) he can solo whole armies by himself, without units. and he gets two different tech trees
>>749044405an interracial forsome and dogs? sounds like she had a good time
>>749044384Settra himself can distract Skarbrand enough to win, but simply having archers to deal with bloodthirster stacks and good artillery can be enough. Skarbrand has infinite mass but he's not used well by the AI, so he's very easy to bully unlike more cancerous Slaaneshi lords who WILL run down your entire army. The solution is to have something fast distract him while you mow through his army on Settra's chariot, or let halberd infantry tie him up. Skarbrand is actually really shit at dealing with anti-large infantry without spamming charges
>>749044646I love these guys
>>749044646I mean she is the founder of the Cult of Pleasure
>>749044384>>749044602The thing about Nagash is his actual faction is annoying to play, but Nagash himself can solo every army under the sun. Such is the power of Nagash. The more Brutal part is more so that the game is BAITS you into making bad choices on him like confedding Arkhan early (terrible idea) and letting Mannfred expand unimpeded. You can't confed Mannfred as Nagash if he owns more than 5 settlements, unlike Arkhan. And since you need to pay your Tomb Kangz, confedding Arkhan will cripple your economy.
When are they going to add the ultimate gigachad and add sigmar?
>>749020986Once you get to a certain point in the game (usually when you get your second or third army) most battles become pretty one-sided and your contribution isn't as game-changing so you can just skip 70% of battles
>>749045059if you're at the point that you're breezing through the campaign, you should try upping the difficulty.
>>749045059Depends on the difficulty, I play on legendary mostly and you reach the autoresolve stage pretty late from having to 2v1 frequently, or hold with shitty garrisons
Most of the time it's quicker for me in real time to just auto resolve a 'maybe win maybe lose' battle and just rebuilding my army and taking back whatever I lost than to actually do the battle.
Wanna get into TW so I checked and for modern games it's either Warhammer or Three KingdomsBut, withing the former it goes II>I>III in terms of reviews. Is this gameplay wise, or just performance issues cuz of new engine?
>>749046301if you want to get into total war then get medival 2
>normal campaign>hard/very hard battlessuch is the way
>tfw no barbarian gf
>>749046503Huh, are you this guyCan you elaborate bro, I'm installing the game now but I'd like to set expectations
>>749046818i'm not that guy. i have medival 2 on cd like a normal unc, but what he says is true in my opinion as well.
>>749020986why would you play an RTS or whatever it is if you don´t want to manage your armies?!
