Thanquol soon, friends!

Be a good person
Broken friendships:Malekith + GrombrindalDurthu + CoeddilTyrion + TeclisSkarbrand + KhorneYuri + Katarin
>>483979141I'm not, friend.
>>483978942They could be working on multiple projects at the same time.Dogs of War was leaked at the release of Shadows of Change. That was about 8 months ago.Or maybe CA truly did change their plans after Thrones of Decay became such a success.
>>483979369They referenced Dogs of War in the video. We're 100% getting it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5C-g2aZDTg
>>483979457Do you know when they referenced it? I assume that you are talking about the what's next.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fix3FvsmplA
Which historical Total War faction would fare best in Total War: Warhammer 3: Immortal Empires: Conquer You're Daemons?
>>483979567Yea when they talked about the ogre.
>CREATIVE assembly>all game concepts are based on history or other people's creativity
>>483979813>>483979672Excellent. Maybe after the Slaanesh DLC.
Where is Gorbad going to start?
>saved a dollar on the worst dlcit's simply too easy
How are they gonna do Dogs of War since they already plundered so much from them for other armies
>>483980275Black Crag.
>>483980369Exactly, much of the assets are already made and ready.
>>483979813>nipple ringkinky
>>483980437It's been awfully vacant for a while now
>>483980363You're taking money out of the mouth of a company that is quite literally on the verge of extinction.
>>483980572Don't be silly
>>483979025Thanquolanon tell us what is your most wishlisted character or faction for 40K?Will you also ritualpost for them?
>>483980694I am very silly.
>>483980737He would just change post to Thanquol is here. There is no end to this torment.
>>483980737I like the orks, friend, but I'm not invested enough to have a favourite character yet. There's no one I would ritualpost for.>>483980864Now that's just silly, friend. Once Thanquol is here I'll stop ritualposting.
I really want that Tzeentch Ogre to be added but I think he is an Age of Sigmar unit.Maybe one day.
>>483980275Somewhere near Iron Rock. I'm guessing they will rework this area, since Iron Rock supposed to be one of the greatest orc strongolds, thanks to Gorbad.
>>483980572real? nice
These are some Nagash-aligned End Times models
Is Gorfang even in the game anymore?
>>483981227The region around Eight Peaks is filled with a protagonistic aura.
Karak Eight Snores post.
>>483981179I want Curseling generic hero, but unfortunately, it's never happening
An End Times model that depicts a Skaven mage riding a modified Rat Ogre.
>>483981383Well, in game files, alongside Kazador. Both actually generic models with unique hats.
>>483981383Yeah, dies to AI Queek in about eight turns.
>>483981379>>483981587Thanks I hate them
>>483981072>Now that's just silly, friend. Once Thanquol is here I'll stop ritualposting.No anon don't stop, the general will not be the same without you
>>483981652If the rumours are true then we might be getting some End Times units in the final Warhammer 3 DLC.
>>483981768I have 0 trust in "rumours"
Spent another morning trying to play L/VH Kostaltyn. This is still too hard. I managed to stay alive and not broke, and the Ice whore comes up and kills throt. Now i got to deal with Wulfric and mammoths with low tier units. How easy do they die to archers?
>>483981179>hoofed feet>horned head>tail>chaos associatedThat's not an ogre, that's more like something you'd see with beastmen, possibly as a variation on the minotaurs, which I find funny since beastmen are so dead to GW that they are missing in both AOS and The Old World.
>>483981605>>483981628>>483981383Oh, there he is, motherfucker.
Is there any point to playing helves or delves in 3? They feel kinda like yesterday news
Have you guys managed to get any gibs from Legends live stream?
>>483982139no. it's over, I really wanted free gibs me dats SoC.
>>483982127Also is there any skaven LL besides ikit or throt(?) worth a fuck?
>Legend is doing a DLC giveaway>the stream is below 2k viewersWhat the fuck? On one hand I guess his viewers probably own them all anyway, but I would have expected a giveaway stream to be more successful than typical, not far below his usual average. The fake leaks must've actually damaged his channel
>>483982139I'd rather blind myself with acid than watch a l*gend stream
CA Sofia former projects:Rome 2 Empire Divided + Desert Kingdoms + Rise of the RepublicTroy + all DLCPharaoh + High TidesCA Sofia current projects:Pharaoh map expansionU'zhul Skulltaker + Khorne FLCDo you have any thoughts or feelings with respect to CA Sofia?
Would you buy a dlc that adds them to the game?I know that technically they already are.
>>483983107They should share map expansion tech with dlc team.
>>483983293who?
>>483983747Out heroes
>>483979813>cathayan tattoothats weird, was there some recent news about cathay and ogres or something?
>>483983293Remove elf, then yes
>>483983927>cathayan tattooThat's his wife.
>>483980275Solland that is why they moved Gelt last dlc.
>>483984639Will Make goth Moms campaign bit more tricky at start at least
>>483981227Karak Eight Peaks = 10 slotsBlack Crag = 10 slotsKaraz a Karak = 10 slotsEven Kislev is jealous of this region.
>>483983107Sofia should handle faction reworks going forward.
>>483984639they moved gelt because of elspeth retardthey aren't moving characters 8 months before a DLC
>play Cylostra>beat up Malekith>start shit with Valkia>Grombrindal starts liking me>he has no ports so I don't give a shit about his land>we become best friendsKilling Dark Elves and Chaos stuff sure is a great way to bond
>>483983107I wonder how are they gonna molest Khorne, well their Tech-tree. Also they need to take another look at Tzeentch tree.
>>483982127>>483982398>helves If you like dragons, they have dragons. If play a faction stuck on the donut then its boring though>delves They have the sexiest LL in morati >skaven LL besides ikit or throtSnikch is pretty fun too. Bascially the DLC skaven lords are where its at
>>483985270Tzeentch is 99% guaranteed to get at least a little look. The game director himself wrote a post about Tzeentch on Reddit.
Can't trust CA roadmapsCan't trust content creatorsCan't trust the game directorCan't trust SegaCan't trust /twg/Who can we trust?
THE PIRATE KING
>>483981956>That's not an ogreThat's right, it's called an ogroid. A race completely unrelated to both beastmen and ogres but which somehow got confused for both.
Volound sisters, i thought slaanesh got cancelled and they even confirmed they will rework older lords...I thought they will abandon warhammer, whats going on...
what does Champions of Chaos bring to Khorne? I don't really care about Valkia but the units and mechanics across the board.
>>483987147i have no idea what each DLC does, I just unlock them all with cream.api
>>483987147steampage doesn't really explain anything so. maybe I should become a pirate KING too.
>>483987072I wish you guys were less hung up on e-celebs.
Tips for Malakai campaign?
>>483987558Kill mutant Rat quick. The go after troll
>>483988180Throt and Throg?
>>483987147Decent ranged kite unit if you are into that, Khorne's chosen and dual weapons variant, Chaos Lord and Exalted Hero of Khorne. Chaos Knights and Lances variant, Chariot, Gorebeasts of Khorne (I think) and T1 Marauders and dual weapons variant who are reskins of marauders champions of Norsca, thanks alot CA. They all have Khorne mark and they all have frenzy. Also magic resist 35. It's nice. Khorne's chosen only lose to GW Nurgle chosen, but you won't let that happen, right ? For Skarbrand, units cost a shitton as well, but maybe their true potential lies with Skulltaker. Anyway, armored infanty is good if you are facing magic attack armies and if you like red flavour rangers.
>>483988490yeah that roster sounds like a nice addition, didn't know khorne gets chariots too. I enjoy control all + right click armies so think I'll grab the dlc.
>>483989139Champions of Chaos is genuinely good value. You probably won't regret it.
>>483986907>unrelated to beastmen and ogres but which somehow got confused for bothI get confusing it for beastmen, but even with the name the visuals just don't scream "ogre" to me, ogres are strongfat at their leanest, the model just looks like roid using body builder.
>>483978959>Mod list updated and works again>Time to knock out a Durthu campaign for the Welves>Then its just endless destruction campaigns...oh boy...
How do you play rush/melee factions in a way that's fun? My beastmen campaign is getting boring because it seems like you're meant to vanguard deploy everything and slam all your units into the enemy lines within 15 seconds of the battle starting, and either that was enough to route everything and win or it wasn't and I lose.
So CA said in the new standard format going forward is the 3-way lord dlc.>Slaanesh/Vampire Counts/Tomb Kings>Dogs of War Race Pack>Wood Elves/Dark Elves/High Elves>Warriors of Chaos/Norsca/Beastmen>Empire/Skaven/Cathay>2 Character only packs one chaos and one order.How realistic is this for dlc prediction? They clearly have no problem doing lore only units so that solves the issue of High Elves and Wood Elves getting another dlc. They already did it for the last High Elves dlc when they ran out of High Elf units besides skycutters. The vultures from the video they are giving Ogres are a lore only unit which they mentioned in the video.Bretonnia is getting nothing because they are a FLC race and in Warhammer 2 they said no future content for them in any future game in their blog post when they released Respanse. Lizardmen dlc got disconfirmed in the video. Vampire Coast gets nothing because their blog when it released said it would be their only dlc due to license issues since Vampire Coast is technically from its own tabletop game and not Warhammer. Kislev gets nothing because there is no lords left.
got this game more than a month ago and still have to play certain factions, like skaven, lizardmen, and vampire of the coastWhich lords should I try first for them?
Heh, whoops, almost started a campaign withouthttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909055000That would have been silly
TurinheadsWE ARE HERE!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upNbJI-dHSE
>>483990428>SkavenSnikch or Ikit. Most people just play Ikit while some oddballs play throt>LizardOxy for unique quests to kill chaosNakai for hordeTehen for base game>Vamp coastLuthor to be the designated underdog who grows strong after holding his capital for around 50 turns give or take and doing his questsNoctilus if you want to be a little stronger early
>>483989139Yeah, it's all reskins, but I think Lord and Heroes options are very nice. Truly unique unit there is a chaos warshrine, and they have 4 reskins as well. Also, this DLC doesn't have Chaos Lord of Tzeentch, Nurgle as well as Exalted Hero of Tzeentch, Slaanesh and Nurgle Sorcerer. These Lord and Heroes variants are reserved for others dlc. Also everyone is supposed to have all weapon variants, but they don't. Tzeentch=Halberds, Khorne=Dual weapons, Nurgle=Great Weapons, Slaanesh=Whips, but I guess whips are unique to Slaanesh.
imma be real with you, I love carpets so much
>>483981956Ogroids are an OC AoS race. In short they used to hang out with greenskins, ogres and other retards because of their physical strength, but actually had decent IQ and were frustrated with Gork and Mork wrecking their shit for fun. Started using Chaos magic to get an edge over greenskins, which angered G&M who orderd their fallowers to genocide all ogroids.Ironically only ogroids that survived the purge were the ones who allied with Chaos, leading to them being a Chaos-core race now like dragon-ogres were in wfb
Stop nerfing my Armoured Kossars.
>Give multiple buffs to vamp coast>Still the worst faction
>>483991476>Ogres associated with Greenskins and Gork&MorkI hate AoS so much it's surreal
>>483991738Kislevs already as nerfed as its going to get I think. It's mp viable(as in not so op it autowins mp) and sub 50 winrate
>>483992061Alarielle
>>483991738honestly i think even with the nerfs all their units are still really good, its just their campaigns are annoying cause of the weird mage recruitment and shit economy
Reminder to thank LegendofTotalWar for saving the DLC
>>483987072CA roadmap was clearly slaanesh themed, yet now it's khorne. CA said they were done with big, 3 race DLCs. The next DLC is 3 races. Golgfag suddenly has a cathayan tattoo in the latest video. The last DLC took 8 months because they had to rework SoC. This DLC is taking 8 months with Sofia's help AND no winter holiday break.They've clearly gone through a ton of last minute changes...now what those changes could be...
>>483992061that better be a male
I'm STRUGGLING to efficiently defeat the elector count secessionists quickly in H/H. fuck this.
>>483992061Sigvald>>483992261It is.
Uh, okCool "attack"
>>483992497>get +4MA+4MD tech>get +4MA+4MD redline skill>win game
Just got TW3, should I play the main campaign or just jump straight in to immortal empires?
>>483990190Each DLC is taking roughly 8 months. Without being a doomer I don't see more than 2 years of DLC from here on out, by that time the engine and graphics will be dated and the corporate situation could be vastly different at SEGA/CA. They also have 40k coming soon.I think a more realistic outlook is Rivers of Blood, Slaanesh/DE/HE (pleasure themed), and then a Vcounts/Vcoast/TK (endttimes/undead theme) DLC that is the end of the game.Somewhere in all of that they will probably do a free rework of norsca (they have more chaos stuff in game now to draw from) and probably add Boris as a proper FLC.That basically covers all their 'promises' with as little work as possible.
>>483993246IE is the main campaign. Pretend RoC and the other thing don't exist.>>483992497I don't understand. Karl's starting army can take out every one of their armies and settlements no problem.
>>483993232I'm finding I need to get an early 2nd lord and global recuit on him to overwhelm the last seccessionist army and then combine forces to deal with the beastmen.playing vc has spoilt me.
>>483993261Dogs of War are likely.
>>483993246Tutorial then immortalCan skip tutorial if youve played older tw
>>483993438they just sat in eilhart and recruited and I couldn't beat them without taking massive losses.
Bloodreaper: Very high dps and great at murdering foot lords. Suffers from low durability.Bloodreaper on Juggernaut: Tanky and fast warrior that can kill anything and everything.
>>483992497Turn1 >defeat the initial army, take the settement. Get 2 swordsman.>Recruit a lord at Helmgard. Recruit 1 archer. Also set the commandment at Helmgard to +1 local recruit one.Turn 2>Get Franz close to Ubersreik but stay in your territory. Recruit 2 more swordsman. Get another lord if you want at Altdorf>Recruit 2 more archers at Helmgard. Get another lord at Helmgard if you want.Turn 3>Secessionist army probably moves to Ubersrike to defend it. But you can defeat them there. Attack with Franz, give those archers to him. Now you have 4 lords and a decent army. Its not that difficult of a fight even on L/VH but you have to be carefull none the less.>Disband the lords after winning the battle.Turn 4>Capture the last settlement.>Starts checking on Khazrak.
if 3k is historical why does it have high leadership chinese soldiers?
>>483990162Make a variety of armies, but beastmen will pretty much always be RAAROO fast melee attack
>>483993731>if i make up a retarded false premise this seemingly illogical situation arises?
>>483993685completely forgot about helmgard and being able to get a lord there. thx.
Why is Warhammer so inconsisted?>covering is important mechanic in Dawn of War 1 trough 3>Vanilla Ice literally yells take cover in Dawn of War 2 introhttps://youtu.be/OTjyO_FncE4?si=ZgatJVegp1fCKFIJ&t=45>Captain Diomedes also teaches the player importance of taking coverhttps://youtu.be/SNENPt2FJ-I?si=gktFf_WysPrdv5Cq&t=117Yet when Space Marine the third person shooter came out, part of marketing campaign was lack of cover system. WEIRD, huh?
Why does Kemmler start with a NAP with Louen? Are bretonnians evil?
Im gonna do it bros. Im going to start a Elspeth campaign and get that long victory this time.I WILL NOT abandon this campaign too because for some stupid reason.
While I very much prefer fantasy over 40k, Blood Ravens are iconic.
is the mutalith a good tier V or better go with chariots?
>>483994020because theyre different genres of games made by completely different studios?only autistic people care about a cover system for the sake of checking it off a list of 'things from tableslop'no form of 40k whether tableslop or videogame is fully lore accurate anyway.
>>483994220Her LV is fast took me 70 turns without rushing it. Having all empire territory owned or in alliance is easy especially if you just save money and dump it on alliances
>>483994216No. Its just desparation on Louen's part. He can barely handle handle Norsca, daemons, greenskins and Red duke. No need to piss of Kemmler too.
>>483994495the game is over difficulty wise way before you get mutalithschariots are kinda shit, chaos knights are much better, but realistically you just spam blue/pink horrors and call it a day
>>483994575Whats the best use of Morr's Gardens thing? I know it allows you to recruit some mid game units. Did you just build that instead of regular barracks or something?
>>483994020You still take cover in Space Marine though, it even has halo recharging shields
>>483994719so would this be a good late game army for Tzeentch?>1 Lord>1 Iri Horror>1 Cultist>6 Knights>7 Exalted Horrors>4 Flamers/changebringers
>>483995078You just place it where you want to warp. I used my first warp next to festus and the second warp next to vlad. By turn like 7 or so you start researching her unique full empire vision for 17 turns so you can place your gardens in lustria, cathay and the desert
>>483994020It was marketed like that as an attempt to dunk on gears of war and other cover shooters, not because of anything warhammer related.
Still no reason to build these on very hard?Sucks that the AI gets so many bonuses to corruption and PO, I want to do cool sneaky stuff like spreading corruption and inciting rebellions
>use an AI cheat mod that gives it cheats out of the ass>every AI declares war and sails half over the fucking world with 6 stacks of elite shit each>that's turn 20 by the wayWhat the fuck is this shit
>>483995450So the techs you want fast imo are:The initial growth stuff - 6 turnsEmpire steam tank tech - 1 turnEmbassador to ogres so you can delay fighting skrag possibly indefinitely - 1 turnFull empire vision - 17 turnsAfter that it's more choice based
>>483995398If you go with flamers you’ll have to constantly guard them. I haven’t played kairos since changebringers but they’re going to be much better since you can keep them out of trouble easier. Exalted horrors are a pain because 2 turn recruitment. Honestly a demon lord, a cultist on a shrine, a sorc on a shrine and a iridescent horror on a disc is going to handle 90% of armies alone. Just constantly recruit blue/pink horrors as you occasionally lose them.My tip is focus on demon lord survivability first as they aren’t immortal by default. Get the barrier regen asap. Never put horror on chariot. Farm up kills on the chaos shrine for the infinite winds of magic. Always get the missile resist trait for the mortal heroes.
after messing around trying to unlock boris without looking up how, i gave up.You need to do it on the original game, not IE.So I guess i got to play that now.
>>483995398Ultimately you just want a lords of change doomstack, shrine stack if they havent nerfed them yet, but before you can do something horrendous like that econ is fine. Chaos warriors at t3 lose decisively to saurumani at t2 so imo you don't get melee infantry until chosen as kairos
>>483995450>>483997017Thanks.
How good is firebomb grenade launcher for empire engineer lords?
I'm about to play a kislev campaign and am wondering, is there any point to ice maidens over hag witches? ice maidens take longer to recruit, (I know they get traits when training but it is RNG and the traits can suck) and ice/tempest lores of magic aren't good.furthermore, isn't the druzhina lord a better option to the ice witch lord?I just can't see any use for the ice casters
>>483992250>This DLC is taking 8 monthsyour headcanon is not reality volound
If CA didn’t change their plans how come the next dlc isn’t slaanesh like the roadmap showed?
>>483998245Hero caps?
>Norsca DLC gets made>Norscan Chaos Warriors, Chosen of Norsca, Chaos Furies (Norsca)fuck imagine how cool it would be if we lived in another world where GW didn't actively hate WHFB and Norsca+Beastmen+WoC+Monogods could all stand on their own as unique cool rosters without fucking awful shared units
>>483998403I suppose, I know maidens get summons but the leopard sucks
>>483998317CA said end of the year. Are you on the Julian calendar?
>>483998245>I just can't see any use for the ice castersCheap aoe slow, massive anti-blob spell especially against the sheer amount of Norsca, Vampire Counts, Greenskins and WoC you will be fighting against and Death Frost for dealing with obnoxious single entity lords.
>>483998616but the lores availible to the hag witches are just better
>>483998245You can get a Ice maiden faster than a hag witch.Also lore of ice and tempest are excellent. Ice sheet alone can win you battles.Also you can put them on bears or the frost wyrm.Also they are hot.
Could YOU beat a dwarf in a fight?
>>483998851I heard the frost wyrm sucks because of its animations
>>483998841Are they? The aoe slow synergizes brilliantly with the sheer amount of ranged damage you pump out as Kislev. I take Hag Witches with Death when fighting factions with more spaced out low model count elite units.
>>483998380>Hey, here's out new OGRE DLC!>Take a look at this cool in-game footage and concept art!>Oh yeah...we're doing KHORNE too!>Have a gander at some great concept art!>Uh oh yeah we're doing Greenskins>We have LITERALLY nothing to show you they 100% planned to start downscaling TWWH3 development after ToD with the assumption that ToD would be as bad a seller as SoC, but ToD was kino so it made them shitloads of money and they increased dev scale.I'd say it's also somewhat likely that they did Khorne instead of Slaanesh first because they wanted a bigger seller to help recoup the SoC + Hyenas disaster
>>483951051Blobbing is usually the best tactic, combining a blob with some high damage flanking units has good synergy.
>>483999351They also have sofia to help them because they were planned to work on pharaoh but that failed so hard they cancelled everything from the next update onwards.
We lost our increased mobility hero.
>>483999005Hell no.
>>483998581even if we assume december thats 6 months.
>>483999773Skarbrand should’ve raped that giant early.
>>483999773You can get another from a dilemma if you get lucky.Otherwise, thats a huge loss. Bloodreapers are unlocked at tier 3. For Khorne thats eternity.
>>483999904The Giant has insane stats. I was worried about duelling him.
>>483999005a warhammer dorf would headbutt me until theres nothing but a butt left

>>483995986I know that, but it's still hilarious how previous games negated that add campaign>>483995284The game has shield system, but not cover "press X to take cover" system . Interestingly enough Mass Effect games had both

Even with 35% physical resistance army wide rats are cancer to fight.
>>484000835You have to get those quarrelers into range to shoot woodniggers. Otherwise its ogre.Get in a noobbox and try to kill archers. Your frontline can hold for a bit.
>>484001045yeah bro rats are cancerous to fight with melee spam rofl
>>484001045What compels a person to be like this?
>>484000124with post-release patching for ToD and Karanak we are well within a normal release table, why are you coping so hard?
Would TW40K make more sense with smaller unit sizes? I'm picturing Space Marine factions having a general unit size of like 12, and IG basic infantry being maybe more like Skaven numbers, 60-90. I also think with the greater presence of higher quality ranged weapons, the average range of a ranged unit will be significantly cut down to incentivize more melee.I'm sure lorevirgins will say 12 Space Marines could kill 8000 IG without breaking a sweat but you need to take some liberties to make a game work, spergs
>>484001320ToD+SoC rework WITH Christmas holiday and WITHOUT Sophia took 8 months.RoB alone with one LL already in the game files, without Christmas break and with Sophia’s help is taking 8 months.Why are you coping?
Waiting on them to run out juice then I will emerge from the woods and try to use my guns and crossbows
>>484000472To a degree it is, and I remember correctly there were times when I had to move behind something until shield recharged
>>484001476>you need to take some liberties to make a game work, spergsI think the battles will be Dawn of War dimensions.Maybe like the unification mod.
>>484001762LUNNTHEY ARE NOT RUNNING OUT OF ARROWS!!
I don't fucking understand the redditor hateboner for Aranessa. They continually complain that she's too much of a VCoast LL when she should be a human pirate with a human pirate army roster that doesn't use any undead units.Is it not obvious what Aranessa was supposed to be? CA knew they were making Coast, but they thought Aranessa was a cool character who, despite not really fitting super well with a vampire pirate theme, would be an interesting theme for players. Yeah, they can't give her a full human roster, but in order to give her what redditards want her to be she'd have to be a one-man new race, which is just unrealistic.
>>484001476Fantasy already has proven that single units all the way up to 200 entities works perfectly fine. I don’t think it’ll be too much of a problem. Fantasy also has the same issue of huge power imbalances and unloreful match up’s and no one really cares.
>>484001730Because we dont know how much in advance things are being worked on, Obviously Golgfag was worked on during SoC/early ToD already, you think a DLC ships the moment it is ready?Everything is within a normal release schedule, youre just mad that your "sources" are redditors making fun out of you and legend.
>>484002216Because you’re emotionally attached to something that everyone else just sees as a form of entertainment. And the current iteration of Aranessa is not entertaining to most people.
>>484002216I have never touched that LL lmao
aranessa is a whore and anyone who plays her is a chud
>>483979198Malekith and Snorri never fell out with eachother. Even when Malekith finally met Grombrindal there was no conflict between them.
>>484002409Everything is not on a normal release schedule. They delayed ToD to rework SoC. The roadmap showed slaanesh but we are getting khorne. They said they were done with big 3 race DLCs after ToD but have changed their plans already. They weren’t expecting to have sofias help because they were planned to be working on pharaoh DLC.Nothing in this post came from legend, it’s entirely from CA.
>>484002216In a perfect world, she'd be reworked as a DoW LL with the cove mechanic when DoW releasesBut this is not a perfect world...
>>484002216how does she control all the undead, tell me?
so middenland is wiped out but when take back their settlement that had the beast stones on it I couldn't return it back to middenland? nor can I give back any of the other desolated towns, only colonize them. is this normal?
Why does this board hate historical games?
aranessa>luthor
>>484001762>>484002095>not forming a square as well
>>484002216She probably gonna get DoW units and that's it. Unless they can make a faction swap mechanic for some lords, before you start a campaign.
>>484003290The last few historical games sucked and warhammer brought in a ton of new players. Its less hate and more lack of interest.
Wait, so there's no point in bracing for a charge? I should always be counter charging no matter what?
>>484003557>The last few historical games sucked>What is Three Kingdoms>What is Troy
Myths.
>>484003661Bracing for a charge stops your units getting flung all over and having the enemy potentially drive right through to the other side and back in for a second charge.Some units have such shit charge bonus and mass that them charging isn’t important, unless you need the leadership buff. But at that point things are probably over.
>>484003661Only brace if you have the proper bracing passive for the unit.
>>484002216The "Hateboner" is one terminal schizo. Plenty of people play her. She's just coast with a harder start but more units to work with. Her location is excellent too.
>>484004070I think her start is the easiest one because she does not have to rely on overnerfed units.
>>484003706Three kingdoms isn’t historical, Troy was sagashit and was only popular because they gave it away. See pharaoh for what happens when Bronze Age sagaslop is sold for actual money.
>>484003661Assuming you're the halberd infantry with the anti-charge trait, you brace against calvary and SEM charging you, and make sure your formation is thick instead of being spread out thin, cause they otherwise charge through youAgainst infantry is the opposite. You want to be as spread out as possible and counter-charge. But then halberd infantry tend to lose against shock infantry so it doesn't matter
>>484004070The irony that you (a terminal schizo) think that the very large and diverse group of players who don’t like aranessa is actually a singular schizo.
>>484003290This board does not hate historical games, this board is dislikes Volound because he and his shills constantly bombard it
>>484002216t. lazy ass CA cuck
ALL FEAR THE PIRATE KING
>>484004181Three Kingdoms is historical and Troy is a good game
Legend maybe cringe for falling for obvious fake troll leaks, but he is still based for breaking Volound's spine.
>>483978959Is there any total war faction where it's mostly just a small band of heroes doing shit
>>484004181>Three kingdoms isn’t historical
>>484004665Markus, Vlad
Haven't played since like a week after ToD came out where I got burnout after poopsocking the game too much. Who should I play in 5.1?
>>484004665TamurkhanJust restrict yourself to one unit of the same type of hero and treat them like a company commander.
>>484004665There is that Grudgebearer's mod
>>484004665What the last anon said, also Tamurkhan and undivided WoC.
I like Aranessa but I wish she had some sort of upkeep reduction for the maneaters she has access toHer location and getting SO much free money from sea locations is fun
>>484004730He is right, Chinese history is rewritten every few hundred years after some major civil war. Everything about the time period of 3K comes from fan fiction. Imagine Britannia Total War being about ancient wizarding schools and the foundation of Hogwarts?With a tacked on Mormon DLC about the ancient kingdom of Jesus in Utah circa 9th century A.D set in the US midwest.
>>484004730>>4840045963 kingdoms is basically ancient Chinese OC donut steel
Rogue armies don't generate any grudges?

>>484005268>>484005576https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_destroyed_libraries
>>484002216>>484002471CA tried to justify including Aranessa by having her turned into a vampire after the events of dreadfleet (and a red-eyed vampire version of her is still in Luthor's loading screen art), but at the last minute GW went "Nu-uh you have to include her in the Vampire Coast alive as she was in Dreadfleet!" and that's how we got here.
>>484004070>Plenty of people play her.Anon... I...
A reminder that Caesar committed genocide, started a civil war and eventually became a tyrant.

Why do Bloodletter units have 75 leadership but the Bloodreaper hero only has 65 leadership? Did CA forget?
Wulfrik is the single best lord/hero killer in this game all because of his lock ability
>>484008551Karanak also has a net and it even inflicts damage.
what do female goblins look like?
Are Giant River Troll Hag's just immune to assassination? Its always a flat 100% no chance to wound them with hero actions unless you got some legendary hero.

>>484008237Yes. Same shit with daemonette hearo i think.Small family company etc.
MASTER GOONLORD
>>484010286Yes and no. Depends on the space marines extra kit but effectively a helmeted, unnamed marine is likely to die to to just about anything.The entire point is that dice rolls dictate what happens and the fluff reflects insane hail mary's being made to kill things in lore, that should not be killed that way. Like a Bloodthirster being killed and banished by a unit of Imperial state troops on its own - via a cool mini story based on one guys game. A lot of the lore, outside the BL books, are just GW making a narrative around game reports sent in to the White Dwarf office. There is a baseline on what SHOULD happen, but there is no hard and fast, definitive and unbreakable rules or lore.In theory this means a Tau Warrior might be able to 1v1 the Emperor of Man, just after he beats Magnus the Red in some 3 way shit fest. TT results are just 'possible futures' and are all canon.
Whats the best way to use Wulfhart, Alith Anar and Oxyotl in actual combat? Do you want them off to the side shooting into blobs of enemies or lord sniping? I never know what to do with those foot based ranged lords and it feels like i never have any impact with them in battles.
Elspeth's campaign feels like some asshole dev trolling the player with the maps. Fucking AI already dodges the hellstorm like Neo but on top of that maps are working against you.I cant believe im saying this but best battles with Nuln is when you sieging major settlements. Breaching the walls with rockets/cannons, getting the guns on the walls while melee units slowly grind.
>2 armies invading through the sea>can't catch them, they just force march away to another unguarded settlement>another army appears near the settlement where you just leftI FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT TRASH GAME WHY THE FUCK IS THIS WHACKAMOLE EVEN ALLOWEDWHY ISN'T THERE A COMMANDMENT THAT HALVES THE FUCKING ENEMY MOVEMENT IN MY TERRITORY???
>>484011498you use them to kite, they deal good damage on the move so you just kite the enemy back and forth in front of the rest of your missile units.
>>484011498in addition to >>484012076 (they all have fire whilst moving, use it), yes to hero and lord sniping. Don't get caught by cav/dogs, lead those into your melee first

>>484012048play a better game, either one with navies to catch enemy transports or one with a supply system that punishes people who force march through enemy territories with starvation
>>484006529Sulla ruined everything before him. The Republic was on a one way track to dictatorship anyway.
>>484004730It's historical in the sense that the Matter of France is historical.

>>484018673I FUCKING LOVE LIMITANEI, THEY DID SO MUCH WORK IN MY LEGENDARY WRE CAMPAIGN IN BI, THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE SPEARMEN, PUT SOME PRIESTS BEHIND THEM AND THEY LAST LONGER THAN I DO IN BED.For Warhammer specifically I have to say Silverin Guard
>>484018754They are the worst, but they are always there when you need them
What do High Elf girls do in their spare time?
>>484018754They are the worst, but this might make them the best, they're like Imperial Guardsmen of Warhammer. Cohors Palatina Ioviani Seniores is just mobbing with 2500 fellow elites exterminating garrisons of barbarian peasants, Limitainei Spears is holding a ramp to the death against 6000 persians, half of them royal cataphracts.

What war crimes and atrocities have you committed today, Anons?
Why was Vlad nerfed but Valkia wasn't? She's a flying, super fast Vlad. You can't even ranged her to death that easily because she's small and fast. I think the only reason is almost nobody plays factions from northern Naggaroth
40 turns into a settra campaign and i have to say tomb kings really do feel outdated, also did scopions get nerfed at some point i swear they were good in wh2
>>484019896Empire players don't have to fight Valkia.
>>484018437Always. Just no one plays the stunties to notice it.
How's Karl's campaign? Haven't touched the Empire rework yet
>suddenly unable to upload images from mobile at allWtf phonebros...>>484020003Theyre still good, and yea kangs need to have a better early game. Maybe reduce the time to research the new armies to 10 turns. Personally I think their units are fine, they could maybe use a more elite version of skele archers
>>484020147problem i've always had with dwarfs is their autoresolve is so good you just get baited into using it all the time, and for a race that are fading in lore they're pretty easy to rapidly expand with once your initial provinces get built up a bit
>>484019592>PersiansFor me, it's fighting Huns, Vandals and Goths and far more Berbers than you would expect.
>>484020191Elector count units let you spice up armies without having to trek back from the front or do global recruitment costsAnd he has some busted buffs for sorting provinces out/recruiting fast armies so the imperial meme resource doesn't just do nothing once you confed everyone
>>484020191better, fealty is easier to manage since you can just directly pump prestige into anyone you're worried is getting too lowbuilding shuffle makes building up your forces easier since you don't need a smithy for anything
>>484020495Those dudes in red have some noodle arms
>>484020456i think the restrictions on their heroes need to be looser so they can actually get some mages, they don't even really have access to good magic anyway
>>484020548>>484020592That sounds pretty fucking nice, guess I'm uniting the Empire today
>>484018437Thorek has always been good, I personally despise his local area though, your only potential ally is settra for a long timeAlso I wish it actually showed the rune effects as abilities on the unit or in the missile damage info, I dont know if they even work after just finishing a 130 turn campaign with him>>484021881They need to get Grand Hierophant lords desu

Why isn't there a tomb guard (bows)?
>>484006669>>484001476Space Marines die en masse to nothingburgers everywhere, be it video game, tabletop game, codex or black library books.The only thing that is weird that they never retconed retarded 1000 marine limit. This is the only inconsistent thing about them
Been playing Rome 2 and DEI both first time, and sort of getting my fill out of it just shy of the 140 hours mark. Is OG rome1 easy to work with on modern systems? How is it compared to the remake vs (DEI) Rome 2? Been craving trying out Med2 since I never got into it and last touched it briefly a decade ago.
>>484022191their cav also needs to be faster, they're lagging behind in this department
In Three Kingdoms, who's the easiest to play and who's the hardest? I'd assume Guan Yu is easy?
>>484022401Have you tried Ping Chong Hu?
imagine how good total war would be if instead of being so obsessed with profit, ca and sega would just be content with paying everybody their salaries and also keeping the lights on.this also applies to every other thing made by a company/corporation.
>>484022784There's no way that's a real name
>>484022401Cao Cao is easiestSCHEMES cuck all other characters and he has good cavalryHardest I dunno. Probably some of the yellow turbans from 190 onwards. No diplomacy, no more rebels helping you out
To you guys who played SettraIs it simply impossible to defeat Skarbrand early on with skeletons and chariots?
>>484022164Frenzy on your main army goes very hard considering every Kislev playthrough is rushing to armoured kossars
How come no matter what TW, every player hates chariots?
>>484023118Close enough
>>484023287I think the +5 melee attack for kossars is also just better than the ice court bonuses
>>484023372I would let my finances be transformed and developed by Han Ping Chong
>>484023346>what if cav but second by second micro is needed for the same result because you need to leave as soon as the impact happensAnd people complain about some cav models getting stuck, it's a lot worse when it's 1/4 stuck than 3/60 stuck
>>484023250No its quite possible, chariots wreck bloodletters, settra buffed tomb guards can hold out, skarbrand has bad armor so archers can focus him. Helps if you outnumber him
>>484023346because a lot of the time they simply don't work properly (like most of the fucking game) I think they're currently in a decent place though, I like chariots
>>484023450If you spam a full stack early yeah, I just prefer treating them like archers and protecting them asap

why do hysterical players act like they're better than fantasois when they are essentially the same thing? what difference is there between spearmanii (thracian) and spearmanii (elf)? they pretend like magic and dragons are the big difference, but really they refuse to play anything that isn't just fantasoi without magic. you'll cowards wouldn't last 10 turns in a real man's historical.

>>484024230Hard times make hard men.
>>4840265638k isn't bad for a total war game though
>>484028896This is an absolute joke. Using actual tactics and skill is forbidden. Can't keep units in reserve, can't use artillery/range advantage to maintain a favourable position, can't perform high level micro to make the most of a unit. The way these rules are written makes it sound like making proper use of a chariot is just not allowed.Someone should just come along and do their own tournaments without these rules. I'd be twice as popular in no time.

RIP to the one Sartosan who died in the great siege of sartosa. He "look out sir!"ed a demi paladin going after by lord. We'll bring him back as a pistol zombie, it's what he would have wanted.
>>484046453It is "winnable" but will probably be a ridiculously tough battle. Some things to keep in mind:Blunderbusses will exterminate Frost Wyrms if they can get in range.Your 4 frontline units are really tanky and shielded which is great against Kossars. Ensure that they are facing them to make use of the shield.Ogres and Centaurs could potentially run wild against the Kossars and begin an exterminationIf Ulrika is on her horse then she will get hard-countered by your ShaggothYes, it is winnable but my god will you need to get a little lucky with the Frost Wyrm ai and then micro out of your mind to crush their Kossars with your fast units. Pop a save if you aren't playing on legendary.

Why is my vassal tribute completely fucked up after loading an old save?
>>484047626ya its weird how the creatures whose entire culture is war and conquest and who live in a flaming hellscape blessed by a dark god of flame are tougher than ones who live in mountains and like shiny rocks
>>484047626yes, and?
>>484047626Problem, traitor kin?
First time I'm ever seen these fuckers
Could you theoretically talk and interact with a Nehekaran completely normally? Besides being a disgusting rotting corpse, skeleton, or mummy, the curse is explicitly undeath and nothing else, yeah? Some of the building descriptions for TK factions imply things just go on as normal within the borders of Nehekara.
>>484031954>what exactly was communisms crime?idk probably the millions of people it got killed
>>483990190>Wood Elves/Dark Elves/High ElvesThis is an underrated suggestion. I don't know why more people don't push for this.
>>484048976You couldn't talk to an average nehekaran citizen because they're basically automatons going through the motions of still being alive without sentience.
>>484048976There are some Norscans that actually work with tomb kings instead of raiding and stealing from them so yes it could happen.
>>484033237Guess which ones are the pedophile.
>>484047626Dorf warriors get better campaign buffs (hellforge aside) and are a unit tier lower thoughever. Theyre also uncapped
>>484033237Why is there a wood elf with those order lords? Wood Elves aren't an order faction they are neutral like ogres and tomb kings.
Settra or Louen?
>>484046331Greenskins can take many changes to their units abilities and more generic lord's and heroes.
So two youtubers are now claiming that CA is telling partners in the program they are aiming for a early to mid October release for the Khorne dlc. 6.1 patch they want to release in the first week of December before they leave for the year.

>>484051097Family tree and combat reworks. Also a bunch of stuff from Troy.
>>484051097Female units hopefully

>my total playtime for WHTW3 just reset to my playtime for todayinteresting, never seen that happen to anything on steam before
>>484051623>They're actually adding Troy into PharaohIs it all of Troy or some of Troy? Because if it's all of Troy, what's the point of owning Troy?
>>484052284Only the historical stuff from Troy, so no monsters or Amazons.
>>484047031I’m on L/VH Ironman with max cheats but I can still savescum by quitting to the main menu. If I can’t win it, maybe I’ll send it to legend :)
>>484051623So the troy stuff is just ported into the game? Thought there would be something new here.
>>484052340Is the Sea Peoples Horde mechanics good or is that one Amazoness chick from Troy still the best?
>>484052529Apparently they're creating new units to go along with them but I can see why considering they're both the same fucking era.
Cozy island time
4 Legendary Lords and not a single one is a spellcaster. This has to be a record.
>>484052553Sea people are great, just finished a full horde Iolaos playthrough and it's very similar to pent in a lot of ways, but with some other mechanics for Pharaoh on top (path of the ravager is insane). The other seaman is apparently more focused on settling than going full civilization ender, so that might also be fun if you're into that.
>>484052673>considering they're both the same fucking era.I get it, but I thought it would warrant a whole new art style since even the Troy historic mode has a bunch of liberties.
Year 9012 and they still haven't patched the memory leak on this map
>>484055216So? Aren't Sartosans aquatic?

>>484056158But isn't that the current map in Pharaoh?
>>484056567no and the update still doesn't have a release date yet
>>484056567Iraq and Western Turkey/Greece are new. Assuwa and west of it.Aber Nahra and East of it.
>>484056158So if this expansion ends up making Pharaoh sell a lot (Doubt it), they'll likely add future content?
>>484056767what future content?what else do you want them to add?
>>484056767Not likely. I imagine that CA Sofia is firmly locked on to Warhammer 3. Warhammer 3 makes cash and both Sega and CA need to get some good numbers.
Beastmen spawned on the maelstrom and heardstone'd count cuck. Thats a first. I wonder if it'll use the usual herdstone map.

What do you actually have to do to cancel the movement you're forced to after sacking/razing?
bretonnia generic melee lords are so god damn good jesus christhippo mount just lets you throw them into the back line and shit on everything if you dont need them to soak some melee up front
>>484059115It's a free lord sniper against warriors of chaos too since their lords are usually the only flying unit they have.
>>484059115They're great. Make sure to get Fay Enchantress' full set for some extra armour.
playing taurox and all i can think is this is just a more convoluted and worse version of khorne
>>484060717Beastmen are convoluted and worse version of chaos in general.
>>484059115my only (stupid) tangent is i'd like a 2h variant that rides a pony only like pantsu.
my dog chewed up my gaming mouse while I was at work. The new one cost me 90 (NINETY) American buckeroos and won’t come until tomorrowI am sad now since I can’t play games tonight. LL for this feel?
>>484061456do single player games really require a gaming mouse? i have one only cause when i bought it i still played dota and cs
>>484061801not him but additional buttons on the side of the mouse are very useful, not for Total War but other games.
>>484061456Leopold Dogburglar
Ill play Aranessa when they give her Slayer Pirates
Vlad is so boring, you give him 4 or 5 waifus and a few bats and that army can solo just about everything
>>484062928Even with all the redline and daemon slayer buffs, slayer pirates suck ass.
Playing Skarbrand is kind of crazy. Whenever he hits the enemy lord loses a fifth of their health and let me tell you, Skarbrand hits a lot.
Big pirate hours.
>>484064918Oops, lol.
Did legend sell out to CA again because of his fake leak fail?
>>484065293All the signs point to a massive pivot at CA. He has stated he believes the leaks were true. That he has extra information he didn’t want to release. He has heard new leaks about the new direction and likes what he hears.
>>484065293Legend caused them to make new DLC plans in a panic with the leaks, they're now forced to make the Greenskins/Ogres/Khorne DLC but notice the Slaanesh DLC hasnt been announced, the extension to 8 months and no roadmap? All because of Legend.
>>484065293i don't think it makes any difference to his channel whether he's shilling for ca or not
>>484065293>failYou'll eat those words when you see the stats on Mung the Terrible.
>>484066107Legend correctly leaked that it was golgfag not mung though.
>>484066273?https://youtu.be/noqmOn8lxZk?si=d2g5KMVCPUPyaiS5&t=461He leaked GolgFAGGOT as a completely different lord, moron. He was INACCURATE that he would be FLC of course but such is the power of Legend that he forced TCAL to change things.As for Mung? Terrible. His stats? Wonderful. His DLC? Will be premium. You? Putting false statements in Legend's mouth.
>>484066974>CA didn't change their plans because of legend because legends leaks didnt come to passCan you spot where you went wrong here?
Wait, can my vassals get confederated by others?
>open thread>ctrl+f legend>22 matches
>>484067084No, I don't see things that don't exist because I'm not a schizophrenic retard.
>>484067358You argue like the neurons in your brain are misfiring yet you call others schizo.I'm not just saying this for some petty internet argument's sake, but you genuinely post things that are so illogical that I think you should see a doctor about your mental health.
Hey
>>484067662omg hi.
a little over half way through my campaign and I'm done kicking the spanish out of the new world. now there's just 4 regions left owned by the french and the dutch plus one part of canada the br*tish snuck back into when I wasn't looking. I offered to buy the 2 regions from france but they wouldn't even accept 120k for them. will sabotaging the buildings in them with my agents lower their valuation of them?
>I'm just [schizobabbling legendhater]Yeah, I know.You can kill yourself anytime now.
Unofficial Quest Battle completed.
I'LL HAVE THIS WORLD
>>484067583You actually think a major company pivoted its release plan because of some loser who plays videogames on youtube for a livingIt's absolutely mindboggling that you keep bringing this up, Legend has neither won or lost because he wasn't in a battle, he didn't fight anything, and no one cares if he's credible or not. Stop posting about dumb ecelebs and play a videogame instead of watching someone else do it you cuckold
>>484067914WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!
>>484067956>You actually think a major company pivoted its release plan because of some loser who plays videogames on youtube for a livingYou are aware that CA have the partner program which includes direct lines of communication from youtubers to the devs to give them feedback on how to change the game?
>>484067956>You actually think a major company pivoted its release planThey did.>Legend has... wonOnly thing you typed this week that has been correct, and even then it needed editing.>and no one cares if he's credibleYou'll care when Mung the Terrible comes out.
>>484058881My first thought is that it might apply to any settlement razed in the bloodground regardless of who razes it, regardless of chaos/beastmeme affiliation. But either way, I'm not complaining.
>>484067956Did you already forget the shadows of change rework?
>>484065519>>484065708Isn't this a massive cope by legend? It more seems like he got bamboozled and fed false information.>>484067246Legend is /twg/ related
>>484068469Name one thing that was false (keyword here is FALSE, not INACCURATE) from Legend's video.
>>484067786not sure, but I recall the AI really overvaluing technology so you might try to trade some with them
>>484067772>>484067662Hello>>484068469It's annoying,
>>484068469How is it cope?13 months after the 12 month roadmap we didn't get a new one. The last roadmap showed Slaanesh now it's Khorne. They release a video 14 months after the 12 month roadmap They show Golgfag (already in the game files), for some reason he now has a cathayan tattoo. They show two prerendered animations of ogre reskins. They show a single drawing of a Khorne monster, and nothing for Greenskins. They announce the DLC is coming at the end of the year. The last DLC took 8 months. During that time they reworked SoC and had a 4 week christmas break. This DLC is going to take 8 months but they don't have to rework SoC, they don't have to break for christmas and they are getting help from the entire CA Sophia studio to boot.They said that ToD was going to be the last big 3 race DLC they ever do. Now suddenly we are getting more big 3 race DLCs.Do we know for sure what happened? Of course not, but we know for sure that many, many things have changed in the last 3 months, and nothing precludes legends leaks from being the reason.
We need to talk about LegendofTotalWar

I bought all the dlc and all the warhammer games and it’s boring but I have more then 3 hours so now I can’t refund this game fuck
>>484073862why would you buy a TW game and all it's DLC if you don't even like TW games in the first place?
>>484073862You should have either got an older Total War that has been cracked to see if you like the formula, or bought Warhammer 3 and creamed the DLC, buying all of it at once is a massive drain, most of us are lucky because we haven't felt it because we either creamed the DLC or bought them as they released for £10-£20 every 5 months or so.
Is it worth it vassalizing minor factions?
>>484074302Cause I saw clips of this game from warhammer tiktok channels and it looked fun.
>>484074815As WoC? YesSlaanesh? MaybeAnyone else? Not unless you're doing a RP campaign.
What did you do Manfred?
>>484074815WoC it's good to vassalise daemon factions so you can allied recruit units faster than waiting on gifts. They can be upgraded all the same. Although one thing I found was Norsca marauders can't be upgraded to chaos warriors and up I guess because they are technically a different unit. Vassalise norsca factions in port settlements because you get decent money for them holding ports and having the vassal income building in your dark fortress.Some factions get explicit bonuses for vassalising, so you should think about going for those. Generally though you aren't missing out on much, allied recruitment while fun isn't usually important, like getting skaven artillery for vampires doesn't really change the game as much as you might think.You also can't confed vassals so don't vassal confed targets unless you want to save them from being wiped out. (vassal cancels all their wars).
>>484074815Yes, it's better to have several different minor factions vassalised as WoC. They don't get uppity as much, and because of base income they are more useful than a bigger vassal. 4 vassals on 4 settlements will have like 4 armies together, 1 vassal with 4 settlements will have maybe 2. As Slaanesh every settlement you own can be so much gold vassalising is better only left for far away targets, like if you get Cathay access with cult buttons
>>484074974>>484073862Absolute subhuman behaviour

What does it take do get these manlets to become my vassals? I've already taken every single one of their settlements, I've destroyed all their armies, I've sacked their capital...
Why the fuck am I up late at night reading your stupid posts instead of going to sleep? Oh yeah, because my dog ate my mouse. Fuck. Goodnight /twig/
>Playing Elspeth, turn 18>Vlad declares war as i was approaching to fight him.>He is moving around with 2 full stacks of skelly + crypt ghouls. All i have is Elspeths 4 guns + 2 arty + swordsman army and a support shitstack with basic spearman and archers.>Another turn passes, i saw he bring 3 more full stacks from Slyvania.>Oh fuck campaign over wtf>All i can hope is ambush and maybe , can catch 1 or 2.>I play like a coward for 2 more turns but Vlad is just retardedly sitting at a settlement with 3 armies.>I say fuck it and park my 2 armies at the edge of their movement. If i lose i lose who cares.>Vlad just sends 2 armies at me. Autoresolve says close victory, i play it manually and get a close victory.>His 3 other armies just fuck off to somewhere?>I press into Slyvania, see those armies return from Ugrim's mountains. He is not even at war with him.I fucking hate campaigns like this. If Vlad were to send 4 armies at me campaign would be over. But im winning just because AI is retarded. This is on l/vh as well.
>>484078841Dont vassal anyone while playing Vlad. They will eventually turn on you there is no way to keep them loyal.
>>484079032Should've just sieged him with that 3 armies. That's the safest and cleanest way to kill vampcunts.
>>484079124>They will eventually turn on youAre you sure? I thought there was no way to break vassalization
>>484079032You should have more guns, none of you use enough guns, also vlad is easier to kill when he’s parked in the city, the army spreads out even though they have no missile units to take advantage of their defenses, the air units usually fly out to attack your missiles and die easily, vlad will usually walk in front of your guns and get shot to death after you open a few holes in the wall. And you’re right, the AI is too cowardly to just throw 5 stacks at you, they always spread out and allow you to pick them apart. Elspeth is the perfect vlad-killer, if you struggle, you’ve been filtered. It’s a very easy campaign, once vlad, festus, and drycha are gone, you’re surrounded by friendly factions and can go wherever you want and teleport back if you need to defend
>>484079329Only slaanesh mindrape victims cant brake vassalization. Others can when they strong enough and hate you enough.
Can I get a Total War fun fact?
>>484079503*Slaanesh*can't *break*vassalisation (British English general)*they're
>>484079579total war fun fact: linemanii game players have 30 iq points more than spearmanii game players on average
>>484079306Yeah siegeing and locking an army of his is the way to go.>>484079496I admit i completely forgot about her %15 percent global upkeep reduction to guns. Her economy is not that great so i was just recruiting shitstacks. Thats a mistake.But problem isnt just that. Guns are very high risk high reward. Just one shit map in a bad fight would get me wiped out. Hellstorm is also doesnt perform now that AI fucking dodges every shot. And numbers really do matter. I dont like corner camping and corner camping with Empire's shit morale is already very dangerous. I think rushing a fire mage is the way to go. Just a wall of Empiremanii + burning head.Which brings another shitty feeling. Imagine AI Vlad rushing to wind of death and doing to same to us...
>>484079686Thank you, my good sir. I shall pay more attention to my spelling.
>>484080275Imagine any of the AI LLs using optimal builds. You'd be doing everything you can to dodge them, or suffer a 20 minute battle where it's just your lord and their lord whittling eachother down at 3x speed.
>>484078852>Oh yeah, because my dog ate my mouse. Fuck.Based Sotek worshipper
>>484080275Anon, if you want to be a shitter and spam shitstacks and spells like your hero legend, then fine, but it’s better to spam guns. Even the worst map has a spot you can find. literally skill issue A kino campaign with a gunline awaited you, and you chose the other path. Couldn’t be me.
>>484080821>Even the worst map has a spot you can findConsider the high elf 90% forest one hill mapConsider the wood elf 95% forest side of hill mapMagic will always be the best that's why it's called magic and not shitgic
>>484081002If you’re forced to fight uphill, it gives all your guns line of sight on the guys coming downhill. You can still shoot through trees, it’s not as effective but it works, you just give up and don’t even try
>>484080821I just couldn't see how, say like, 6 guns in an army would do well against literal trash zombie spam. State troops have absolute dogshit morale, you have to keep them close to center. But when you do that, guns doesn't enough los.Even the gobbo spam army at Solland requires a solid frontline because gobbos just try to rush past your frontline to get to guns/arty. Trying to deal with literal bullet sponges with more bullets seems stupid to me.

>>484082115I hate that Noctilus was supposed to be one of the safest starting position but what usually ends up happening is that the entire donnut declares war on you and send 10000 doom stacks every turn
>>484082978You're supposed to wage war on the donut, your starting war with Caledor is the hint. If you ignore it and go somewhere else that's on you.
>>484083887Fucking weird they made Cylostra a high elf hater, but then have Noctilus be the one that starts on Ulthuan in IE.

>>484078393Which was not my point at all retard. If CA doesn’t change anything based on YouTubers, why did they set up a system for YouTubers to suggest changes?
>>484084765Why do we vote for president but we get who israel wants? It's the goyem suggestion box.
>>484084709Legend makes no excuses for his racism when it’s brought up and just tells people he stopped because it’s best for his channel. He also freely admits he changed his voice which most people never knew. In fact if you watch his wh2 content he actually was obviously forcing a deeper manlier voice and his latest content it’s more of a normal middle ground. Dude is 100% honest and that’s why you know you can trust his leaks.
They killed my waifu...
>>484085123You're leaving out the part where he says it was foolish. He's a born again liberal. He talks shit about America all the time, but hypocritically shuts down political shit he doesn't like because "we don't do that here." He's literally the most dishonest type of person there is, one who lies to himself.
I hate menace below so much. At least I had my dino to take care of it mostly
>>484085454>i'm the 1st wife now
Which dorf LL should I confederate first? Grombrindal has pretty good bonuses so him?
should the guy with the glowing helmet be a wizard or a melee guy
>>484085746It's still nothing compared to Ushabti summon. Khatep summoned these on top of my Deck Gunners and that meant they just die. Just a second with those fuckers and Deck Gunners were crumbling at half HP. Clanrats at least you can move away from and will flee the moment your other ranged stuff shoots at these, but Ushabti on top of crappy artillery/ranged like Vamp Coast's means you lose a unit

>wight king>bansheeAre these worth recruiting?
Fucking hell what a bleak rangeSome of these are silly, like I can understand his faction can get by dwelling in Dark Elf shitholes, but to make them uncomfortable living back home is daft.Similiarly every Helf who homebase on the donut have frozen tundra in their 'suitable' options, obviously just because their victory conditions order them to take Naggaroth, but on its own seems silly for people who live on a nice comfy green island
>>484092431>He doens't play with the all climates suitable modFoolishness, Dante, foolishness.
Also there's all the races like 'skins who are comfortable in barren wastelands, but feel like pic related about the lush green fields and forests of the Empire
Wait, that includes Grom?He starts off entirely surrounded by lands that are orange to him?
>>484092310wight king is good for gathering up enemies so you can wind of death them, banshee has increase mobility
>>484093818Banshees are also good for spamming assassinations for bloodkisses, none of the other Vcounts heroes can do that.
>>484094087You dont have to assassinate, wounding also gives blood kisses.
>>484094384I did not in the campaign I played right as my laptop shit it self to death
>>484094512>>484094384*IT did not, is what I meant
>>484086290Yeah Grom's blue line makes him a gigantic upgrade for your empire itselfHe also seems very susceptible to biting it early, so he's often the cheapest option for you
>>484094647>>484094512I'm sure in my last Isabella campaign i had a hit squad of devious vampires + queen beeskill from Isabella.

is eltharion's start really that bad? his starting army is ok and tor yvresse is pretty secure you can probably even go around to conquer saphery before nkari notices you
>>484092431I think aleaf has the worst climates in the game idk what they were thinking really. His faction effects are the best for high elves but those climates sure drag that down
>>484101357they really wanted you not to turn back and go back to the donut
>>484101291The shitter orks you start fighting on yvresse can be challenging if you're trying to rush them down but it's just a matter of time before you get them out. Keeping yvresse means your starting economy is in shambles Eltharions land he's in you can't expect to keep any of and if you're not bothered when you lose some of it or trying to defend it it's fine. You should be trying to secure eltharion not the badlands and that way you'll win
Ulrika > Harald > Aekold > Karanak
Eltharion has 73 melee attack and 67 melee defence. Those are super saiyan stats.

KILL YOURSELF GROM
>>484095328Thankfully ai changeling does nothing because if he could play the game he would ruin everyone's day
>>484092687Is there a lore reason for this?
If you have high armour and melee defence then you can mitigate and even negate some attacks.If you have high weapon strength and melee attack then you can eliminate the threat sooner and take even less damage.It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
>>484102708>>484092687I can kind of get it for Dwarfs and Skaven because they like to dig underground. Greenskins would be right at home and wouldn't have any issue unless they are Night Gobboes. But most racest wouldn't have any trouble.
>>484088549Wood elves can raze even the smallest things for 10kWood elves can raze late game shit for upward of 200kEach forest can comfortably maintain 1 stack. You get quests to confederate a variety of forests, you can teleport to forests and take them over to improve your economyYou can make a migration path from forest to forest where you pick up defeat traits of LL along the wayIf you know what you're doing you can have upwards of 6 forests and 6 20 stacks by turn 30 as wood elves and we're not even talking orion who gets to not pay for his armies

The problem with mods is that I can never gauge if the Anon earnt that victory or not.
>>484104390I don't think that particular lord is anything special. Oreon mod for example gives you reduced deeproot cooldown even on confed. Laurelorn queen mod gives you like a +55 to all factions diplomacy. Naieth mod is pretty tame
Army losses takes longer to inflict in siege battles. I'm not going crazy, right?
>>484104708idk i've never fought manually.
>>484104708You mean like leadership? There's definitely modifiers based on how much of the siege you're taking over at the time but I don't know the actual numbers
>>484101903Eltharion's items don't really increase his survivability so he needs good stats.

Holy shit what the fuck is wrong with that bald cheeser why did he said such a thing?
>>484105526All of eltharions mistwalkers take far too long to recruit on top of you probably need to get them through global so you never get to play with them and they might as well not exist
>eslkill yourself
>>484103664Depends which lord.>Dwarves;I like going full Slayer King with slayer only retard rush armies. Losses are actually victories since they are dead. I play super reckless and never, EVER retreat or move away from an enemy army.>Empire;Depends what you find fun. I like going full British Army and have named and numbered units and regiments with histories tied to them. So the "2nd, 3rd, 4th Ubersreik Guard" and so on getting special names if they defeat some great enemy or elite units. I also permanently retire them if the unit is wiped out. It is not uncommon for me to have a 'green' "17th Altdorf Guard" alongside the 5th and 11th for example that survived to the late game but say nothing under '12th' because every unit, from the 10th to the 1st (except the 5th) were wiped out. I keep those regional units in regional Battalions like the "Reikland 1st Imperial Army"I have dedicated navies too, if I decide to venture outside the old world, or need a Norscan sea patrol.Typically I use non game names to describe a unit, so halberdiers are 'Guard' and hand gunners are 'Fusiliers' etc.Sigmar's Heirs and ZC mods helps with this enormously with regional recruitment and unique colouring and armour for those regional troops.>Helves;I only play Eltharion, I cannot help you with them.

>>484108881Fighting Ungrim is such a pain in the ass
>>484108881Azhag has a building at Niggashizar tho. Its shit, but its there.
you wish you were legendthats why you hate him
>>484108881I imagine Azhag getting something similar to Malus Darkblade's mechanic where you get bonuses and penalties for Nagash possession, but you can spend WAAGH points to reset it.
I have full hair so no, tyvm.
Maybe you should shave, stuntie.
Warhammerbros, would you agree that average life in The Empire is low fantasy even if the rest of the setting isn't?
Fucking cancer
>>484110801What differentiates low fantasy from high one?
>>484105437>survivorship biasIt's the most requested because the least amount of people bought it themselves
>>484110956I've never seen anyone playing Brettonia have fun.
>>484109127>>484109673I want an actual endgame. Nagashizzar is a nice mid-campaign goal, Black Pyramid is literally bringing the spirit of basically a god of Death, to his body. I want some Lich King of Warcraft level shit, maybe even a final choice to decide whether Nagash takes full control, or Azhag remains dominant. >Azhag heeds the voice and brings the crown to Nagash >if he's too low level, or Azhag chooses to let Nagash take the wheel, Nagash takes full control and Azhag becomes very un-orky, greenskin troops in his own army get massive leadership penalty, large diplomacy penalty with greenskins, hated by tomb kings that aren't Nagashfags>but he can hire many tomb kings troops for free, gets full lore of vampires and other magic nagash would know, all heroes in his faction can learn full death magic like mini-Azhags, and he can vassalize defeated tomb kings and vampire counts into loyal personalities >if over level 35 when he completes the quest, Azhag can choose to resist domination, and just gets the caster upgrades, some bound tomb kings summon spells, and large bonuses to greenskins for proving that Azhag is actually da best
>>484111028>High fantasyPlenty of magic, plenty of monsters, fantastical elements are common, anyone can be a hero, heroes are big and important to the overall narrative, high stakes, usually strong good vs evil themes, world is very different than our own (a "secondary world" or "other world" setting and not an "earth" setting, the more different to earth the better), unrealistic and historical >Low FantasyBasically the opposite of all that. Instead of monsters you have people or animals, magic is rare and dangerous, the protagonists aren't heroes, the morality is grey, the stakes are low, the world is a primary setting meaning it either is Earth or is very similar to Earth, the overall themes of the setting is as realistic and historically accurate as possible.Which is why I personally think that, while the setting and I suppose The Empire as a whole might be high fantasy, average life in The Empire (such as what you might see in, for example, WFRP) is mostly low fantasy. Karl Franz and Gelt are the exceptions, not the rule. Your average Imperial citizen does not even really understand what magic is, let alone using it regularly, and they frankly are neither good, nor evil, nor important at all to the overall setting.
>>484112926Good pitch, but lmao at your copium. Best scenario is when they add Nagash, Azhag gets a dilemma to military ally with him for some units or kill him for huge boosts to magic and greenskin stuff.
>>484112926>>484113418There's already cheats that let Azhag become a Mortarch.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3273678715&searchtext=nagash

>>484114006Okay so what's Narnia then?Or Harry Potter?Does Dresden Files become High Fantasy when Dresden steps into the Nevernever?
>>484113109the average citizen knows what magic is, and they hate witches and with burn them at the stake, so much so that even sancationed wizards have to be really careful, and people are important because they are seeding the population of beastmen and ghouls, because for whatever reason sometimes humans give birth to beastmen and other mutants, and if they ever eat human flesh they become a ghoul, and even then the average person saying a prayer can and will do something
>>484114163Harry Potter is objectively low fantasy as it takes place on Earth, just like Lord of the Rings. Cope, lorelet.Narnia is the gay middleground that jumps between Earth and made up worlds, but as there's little to no fantasy going on in the Earth part of the story is more high fantasy than low. Never heard of Dresden Files.
>>484113994I think that whole "chain raze everything" playstyle will just stay with Skarbrand and maaybe the FLC lord.I think Skulltaker is going to play more traditionally.
I was very surprised when U'zhul was revealed as the DLC lord. It seemed almost certain to me that Arbaal would be the paid lord.
'EY BOYZ!WEZ GOTS NEW NEIGHBORS!
>>484114819rats are for bullying
>>484114554Hogwarts is effectively an other-world, and the majority of the story takes place there. It should absolutely not be considered Earth. The wizarding world is very separate from the mundane.Narnia is proof that primary world/secondary world can't be the be-all end-all of High vs Low fantasy.>Never heard of Dresden Files.For shame anon. Go read them they're great.Basic gist is that there's a Wizard who works as a detective, but that gets way more complicated as the series goes on.The series is really big in the urban fantasy genre.
>>484114554>takes place on Earth, just like Lord of the RingsRetard Alert!
>>484115486Yeah that's like saying Star Wars is low fantasy because it takes place a "long long time ago" but in a setting that is still supposedly our universe.
>>484115486>he doesn't knowLord of the Rings objectively takes place on Earth and if you disagree you are uneducated and retarded.
