Why should we care about a Khorne/Greenskins/Ogre Kingdoms DLC?
Be a good person
Thanquol soon, friends!
>>484117302because you want to play Khorne, Ogres or Greenskins?
>>484117385Thanquol what are you playan while waiting for DLC
https://youtu.be/LNK5-uE5JFg?si=-zvP0Ffo7OqTfBol
>>484117424I probably will only play ogres they just need their rework no matter what they do the other 2 will be a bore
>>484117470Been playing some Kislev, friend, never really tried them before.
>>484117302Because Greenskins and Ogres are fun and charismatic factions that are fun to play. Because neutral factions are far more interesting that Chaos and because Ogres need some more units and rework of their bounty mechanic. https://youtu.be/u0vDQWMJNbE?si=lLiWPqcP0gUpYZPj
>>484117302because ogres suck balls and i dont care about the other two desu
>>484117665Yeah, whatever they add to Khorne is basically irrelevant it's still just a pile of violence army, I don't care. Orcs similarly, I like them a fair bit but I just don't think whatever they add is going to matter they're already super strong and have shitloads of options. Maybe a partial rework on some of their more boring LLs could be fun but I don't need to pay money for that. Ogres though, I play a lot even though they're unbelievably ass, I'm going to be all over that dlc and associated rework.
>>484117302Sex
>>484118472Valkia the Bloody>Is charismatic>Can fly>Can recruit chaos sorcerers>Can recruit ranged marauder horsemenSkarbrand the Exiled>Is literally braindead and uncharismatic>Can't even fly,lol>Can't recruit any interesting units
>>484119174Skarbrand can recruit Marauder Horsemen (Throwing Axes)
>>484117302I don't, all three factions fucking suck
>>484117302This is meleechad's time, rangedtrannies had their DLC
A reminder that Azazel starts with 25% physical resistance.
>>484120005WOAH a whole 25%????????Physical resistance????????????????WOAH
on a scale of Rome(the faction) to Ardiaei, how powerful is Pontus as a faction?
>>484120305Yes, the 25% physical resistance is built into his lord. This will allow you to scale quite dramatically. Armour of Destiny + Talisman of Preservation + Sigvald, Archaon, Wurrzag defeat trait = incredible resilience.
>>484118472Playing her rn.Very fun. Vassaling taurox for free poopee units is so good.My early game route has been crazy.>clear out ghrond>grombrindal war decs and hits my vassal>swing back and ride the west coast south with valkia>my second army gets cheeky and snipes a dark fort off of sigvald>swing valkia east and kill the npc delf faction and then vassals taurox>second army retreats back chased by siggy>sail valkia north to properly fight the decadent hostHaving malekith NAP’d and hellebron neutral is annoying, but I’ll deal with them soon>subjugate themElves are for killing
Lords that start with some interesting initial resistances:Morghur has 75% missile resistanceBe'lakor has 20% physical resistance and 25% missile resistanceArchaon's lord effect grant him 5% ward saveLouen starts with 15% ward saveFay Enchantress starts with 15% ward saveBelegar has a 75% shieldThorek has 130 armourTaurox has 130 armourAstragoth has 130 armourMalekith has 20% physical resistance and he is a mortalAzazel has 25% physical resistance whilst most Daemons only have 20% physical resistanceMalus Darkblade has 2 healthbars and is reinforced by physical resistance based on his faction mechanicTamurkhan refuses to die the first time and will in fact kill you out of spiteDeathmaster Snikch has 30% physical resistance and he is just a ratAlways remember to assess your lord's stats when beginning a new campaign.
>>484073862>>484074302>>484074974
I am expecting U'zhul Skulltaker to be both tanky and to excel at duelling. He will probably end up being a Vlad-like problem for players.Golgfag Maneater will be tough but he is tall and easy to shoot.Absolutely no idea about how Gorbad Ironclaw will perform in battle. Probably a decent duellist.Don't know who the FLC lord is so can't say much about them.
Oh yea, I'm thinking it's ambush time.
WHEN TW40K comes out I will play Orks first.What about (You)
>>484122204Sisters of Battle, and if they're not available Imperial Guard, and if they're not available I'm not bothering with it
Did you buy anything during the sale?
>>484122573No yet. I'll probably buy Rogue Trader tho.
>>484122204Chaos.I’m a chaosfag.Abbadon is a fucking loser though, even compared to archaeon, which is really saying something.
>>484122204Adeptus Custodes but there better be female lords or no buy.
>>484119243He could originally or were they added with Champions of Chaos?
>>484122204Depends, you guys think Necrons will be in first game or second?
>>484123250I think they were added with Champions of Chaos. Daemon factions had very few mortal units before that DLC.
>>484122573bought Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and all its DLC(You)?
>>484123492I purchased Shadows of Change and Chaos Dwarfs.
>>484122204Preferably GSC but I'd settle for nids
Bros, hero version of vlad still has 60% ward save from his ring. Wasnt that supposed to be turned to physical resist?
Total War: Warhammer DLC types:FLC unitFLC heroFLC lordLord vs lord DLC2 lord race pack (with mini campaign)4 lord race pack4 lord DLC with tons of reskinned units3 lord race packLord vs lord vs lord DLCI wonder if CA will ever change the DLC formula, again?
>>484122424Shes based on repase right? Or are they just both based on Joan?
>>484123954The ring ability is fine. It was his passive 20% ward save that was adjusted to 15% physical resistance. He also lost some melee defence.
which SFO campaign is worth trying out in 3
Is Rome 2 worth buying nowadays? I hear it got fixed a bunch
>>484122204Fem Custodians of course
>>484124090the entire faction is sort of based on Joan, what with the bobcuts and fleur-de-lis she's more like a space jesus Joan who resurrects every time she gets killed for space magic reasons
>>484124942Vanilla is garbage, people only buy Rome 2 to play Divide et Impera mod
>>484124942Rome 2 is an all round excellent game, especially after Sofia fixed up the performance and added those internal politics updates and extra campaigns
Okay not bad, not bad, getting there.
>>484125785are all cheattrannies really this delusional or just DeI fags in particular?
>>484125785ModGOD I kneel..
>>484123367Second. Iconic but too cool for the base roster. They'll need something big to get people to buy the second came and that'll be Necrons
>>484125920Vikings got POON'd this day.
Is there a "gun for retards" guide? I was never good with them and I wanna bruteforce learning it doing an Elspeth(?) campaign
They could have done so much more with Kostaltyn if they hadn't dumbed down all of Kislev's lore for no reason.If instead of, or better as well as, having the Orthodoxy they also had way more stuff from Kislev's original lore, we could have had each of Kislev's 4 major gods get their own dedicated units. These already existed in lore, Realm of the Ice Queen and other such books give tons of useful stuff on Dazh, Tor, Salyak and Ursun. Kislev could have easily had 4 different Warrior Priest equivalents, one for each god, plus the Patriarchs we already got.In fact, I think it would have been a good way to include a bunch of pseudo-mages for Kislev without breaking Kislev's lore by having casters that aren't Ice Witches or Hag Witches.A priest of Tor for example could get some lightning themed Heavens spells as bound spells, on top of getting battle prayers. Same for Ursun and Beast magic, Salyak and Life magic, Dazh and Fire magic.And there's other god-aligned units Kislev could have gotten. Dazh Firebirds would give Kislev some air presence, non-Chaos Ursun Werebears could give them some monster infantry etc.It really feels like they just sort of stuck Kostaltyn in the game without having a plan for him and without any real content he could call his own.
>>484127675They're in a tough spot right now. Gitchy movement scripting and invisible map artifacts make it really hard to get them to shoot. Best you can usually do is a front like of small foot heros and a backline of guns.
>>484127675It's in the OP anonhttps://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Total_War:_Warhammer/Tactics#Tutorials>>484128037>t. fires directly into a hill
>>484128249This guide is shit because you don't recruit 8 worthless melee
>>484128414Anon have you actually played Total War since WH2?
I have 19 melee units in my army :) Guess which race I am playing.
>>484128627vampire coast
>>484128627Beastmemes of course
>>484128851BASED BASED BASED
Legend confirms that the leaks were true and CA changelinged their plans in the last minute. That explains the end of year release.https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2182954284?t=2h39m19s
>Legend confirms
>>484128851Depthguard have never failed to disappoint me. On halberd DG to guard the back lines, that's it.
War Dogs and shit are absolutely amazing.>Get enemy unit to start fleeing>Send out hidden war beasts to outright delete their asses before they get the chance to recoupNo idea why no one uses them.
>>484128529What changed? Not him but genuine question, I played some 2 and started 3 very recently
>>484129250What do you mean? They make up 50% of WoC armies.
>>484122204>Anons think 40k TW will happen
>>484129250Cavalry can do the same thing but are actually good at fighting non-fleeing enemies. Skarbrand starts with one units of dogs and they are really helpful but I would much prefer Marauder Horsemen or Flesh Hounds.
>>484128851I love the whole undead knight shtick you see in some vampire units, I wish it was more prevalent
>>484117302All there of those factions are fun.
>>484117234Do dwarfs ever fuse hammer and axe together into a hybrid weapon or is that grudgeworthy?
>>484125785It's the only way that exist to play with accurate Roman armies and proper auxilia
>>484129164>90 armor, 8 MA vs small, 70 WS, regen in meleethey're blenders>>484129426a ton of stuff, it's kind of hard to say all in one postoverall ranged units are worse, many melee units got buffs, magic attack isn't effected by spell resist, healing got buffed, and difficulty scaling doesn't nerf melee units anywhere near as much as it used to
All right, I'm back from elden ring. What's happened in the last two queeks?
>>484129854>overall ranged units are worseShame, I love me some ranged spam, I play mostly Empire, Dwarfs and Delfs
>>484124715Norsca is massively improved by SFO. Both are good.
>>484129854>8 ma*80>>484129889dog arrivedroadmap dropped (sort of, it was a video)sofia is doing warhammer dlc now (rip pharaoh)unga bunga-bowl incoming (khorne, orcs, ogres DLC)>>484130063they're still good they're just not as crushingly overwhelmingly dominantespecially after the patch and with the dlc there's some very strong gun units
Which of these Greater Daemons is the most powerful on the battlefield:SkarbrandN'kariKu'gathKairos
>>484130209>>Norsca is massively improved by SFO. Both are good.Anything else?
>>484131452Fully levelled? Ku'gath.But Skarbrand and N'Kari are strong too, and Kairos leading a Lord of Change stack is horrifying.
How do I use melee cavalry and ranged cavalry correctly?I assume for melee:>Charge behind enemy and leave them there>If shock cavalry, constantly charge back and forth instead of leaving them?How do you use ranged then?
>>484131959Most factions get new features and most lords who don't have their own mechanics get new mechanics, in particular I like the Lizardmen, Greenskin, High Elf and Dark Elf mechanics as well as how Empire play in battles.>>484132229>How do you use ranged then?Depends on how strong the ranged is, but usually just Horse Archer it and just run around keeping out of melee range and occasionally charge weak units
I have never played Norsca. Should i go with Wulfrik or Throgg? im going to play l/vh as well.
>>484132659>as well as how Empire play in battles.Qrd on this one? Luv me Empire
>>484132668Wulfrik so you don't have to deal with malakai. I honestly don't know how bad fighting his ai is but 2 minutes of barge you can't do anything about doesn't sound fantastic
>>484132780>QrdThey get new active and passive abilities that make it so that, as long as your weak infantry are supported by lords or heroes, your infantry are a lot tougher.Plus the standard more elite elite units so Greatswords feel better, and cavalry hit harder in SFO. For example Reiksgaurd in SFO have more than double the hitpoints and feel actually elite, they're more expensive to compensate but they're way more fun to use.I think SFO's charge impact calculations are also different? Because cav just feels better in general.
Idk why but AI just refuses to leave their major settlements even if i try to ambush them. They just fucking sit there with 20 units doing nothing.Does AI recognize you trying to ambush them? Do i have to use bait armies to get them leave their settlements?
I hope that the lords in Total War: Warhammer 4 don't benefit from too much powercreep.
Powercreep is a myth made up by players who are incapable of adaptation.
>>484133961There won't be a Warhammer 4
>>484134252>there won't be a 4th game in a trilogywoah...i guess histchads won...
>>484134252I hope so, I'm really tired of this
>>484129770Weta Kino.. isn't the weapon that the engineers use basically that but with gears
>>484134932I luv my warhams but I too would like something else for a change.
How do I write the Fay Enchantress grooming someone without her French accent making it sound ridiculous
>>484121907The flc lord will be an oc Ancient Kroxigor of Khorne.
>>484134932I don't think they can do the formula they're doing well on anything else
>>484132229Ranged cavalry is for baiting enemy's cav into pursuing and hopefully locking into charge. They have to be very fast to outrun a charge animation. Melee cavalry hovers behind/around your ranged cav, ready to do an intercept charge into the enemy's flank as he chases your ranged. Melee cav wins vs lancers, halberd cav should win vs any cav, but the biggest winner is getting your charge bonus vs a moving enemy that didn't get his charge bonus. Their mobile forces are the only thing that can really disturb your offensive actions. Once they're dusted, then your ranged cav charge all their archers + arty, and melee cav charges pinned melee units in order of weakest to strongest. Cavalry should always be working in groups, but if you want to run light on cav in an army, they can be supported well by a single block of spearmanii with shields going wide with them. It creates a zone of safety for your cav to retreat to, when enemy sends out his cav to repulse your harassment. They're slow, but any enemy cav that get baited into a fight near them gets caught and chopped up. If enemy sends out infantry to beat your spears, they're so slow they can just be pulverized by your cav once they're baited far enough from their army.
>>484135863Go back to making mods.
>>484135884They will have to innovate or go back to their roots
Are bolt throwers any good now that there's 8 of them in a unit?
>>484136750>>484135863That's pretty metal
>>484136917Theyre decent at killing cav and trolls now, efficient for their cost. Cannons are stronger for SEMs and are better for having range but bolt throwers have better DPS
>>484137213>>484136917I should give them a try in Thoreks army him giving them explosive ammo by default.
>>484137357Their shit range still cucks them but its your best anti-large option aside from trollhammers
a fucking sandal weaver
>>484138075behold the greatest hero in China's history
All I am saying is that Zhao and Balthasar mains should be very worried about their southern border come patch 6.0.
>Arbaal is sieging my capital>I send a relief force>Arbaal retreats because he doesn't want to face both a garrison and a 20 stack>Faction: The Undefeated Warriors has been destroyed
>>484138335Not even Han propaganda was able to sugarcoat this shit since they got blessed by a braindead emperor thanks to the sandal weaver
>>484139139You don't understand, actions don't make you moral or good, your rank does. Or what ever grants this title. Like how you can complete the challenges of a saint and the murder rape anything you find while staying a saint.
UHM IM GOING TO PICK UHM THE VAMPIRES WITHOUT THE GUNSlmaowhat a fucking faggot
>>484136796Don't think they CAN go back to their roots, the staff changed too much
>>484117302They're the most soulful factions in all of warhams
>>484139992But then why pass the title of emperor to the tard child that will make the empire fail. This doesn't combine
My malakai campaign has been a disaster. Took out Throt, Azazel and Astrogoth, but now my lands are too spread thin.Sigvlad, demon prince, Throgg and Arcahon bully all my settlements and I can only finance like 4 armies.Im thinking restarting since at this pace im gonna hit end game crisis without being done with my neighbours.Sot the question is, can I just ignore throt and go straight to demon prince and arcahon? I feel like my start was dumb.
when are they going to have the courage to stop making quest battles. they have been trying for approximately 20 years to make a good one, and haven't succeeded.
>>484142793Throt and Azazel seem like good targets but perhaps Astragoth is a bit too left of field. Remember that the northern chaos wastes have no northern border. Easily defensible once you gain a foothold.
>>484143541the chorf final battle you only get to play in ROC without mods is pretty good if easy because, well, chorfs
>>484143774yeah thats what I was thinking, right now im just eating all the wars that Kislev should take while they are just doing fuckall
>>484122573skarsnik, ogres, and ghorst
>>484143541I tried that Gotrex and Felix battle as Elspeth, quit out after about 30 seconds, and will be ignoring that garbage on every subsequent playthrough.
>>484144859Its easy just have enough cav to reach them, shoot the Keeper with cannons, and then make detachments to send to kill each alluress
>>484143541I LIKE the chorf ones, I like thorgrims speeches, I like the raroo final battle. The only bad one is Ku'gaths
>>484144527Belegar is my 3rd favourite campaign. I haven't played Skarsnik yet but have fun!
>>484122204Imperial Guard or Adeptus Mechanicus or Tau>inb4 none of those are release factions
>>484144859>he doesn't have the auto resolve quest battles modlol
>>484145589We dont use cheats here
I wonder where Skulltaker will start. Arbaal will probably begin in Ind and Gorbad in Black Crag. Golgfag could be placed absolutely anywhere.>>48414552195% sure that if Imperial Guard aren't a release faction then they will be a game 1 DLC. Fairly certain that they are the most important faction in 40k.
>>484145764>Fairly certain that they are the most important faction in 40k.lol, lmaoThat'd be the SPEHHS MEHREENS
>>484145764I have a hard time imagining a 40k game with a real map that didn't include the IG, I mean, what the fuck else would be inhabiting the planets prior to any invasion? But then CA could just choose to do the "one planet/system only" model and it not actually being an imperial world, maybe an exodite world or something. Or they could pull a Bretonnia and have a gutted placeholder IG npc-only faction.
https://strawpoll.com/poy9kR8O2gJ/resultswhy do u guys vote like this?
>>484145764Why would Gorbad take Black Crag that makes zero fucking sense. Gorfang is the ruler of Black Crag in lore and in game. Although he is currently a generic. Gorbad makes way more sense in Cathay(To justify why he is alive over 500 years later) or Solland for lore reasons.
>>484147194Black Crag province has Iron Rock 4-slot settlement, it's a home fortress of Gorbad's tribe, his fortress I mean. It's supposed to be one of the biggest greenskins strongholds. They will probably overhaul this part of badlands.
>>484142793Your lands don't matter you're a horde get out of there, sell norsca and go do some other grudges. Felix at lvl 12 lets you go everywhere with no trespass penalty
>>484147723>Best I can do is some shitty landmark - CAYou know that's what will happen.
I like /twg/ I think it is one of the best generals
>>484148041Not really.
We got cucked by commies
>>484147723Its literally ruled by Gorfang's tribe not Gorbad's tribe.
>>484148094There's eceleb fags, autists and ritual posters plaguing it though
>>484148351I was reading the /4ccg/ thread yesterday and they were saying that /twg/ is going to get kicked out or relegated for not having enough viewership.
What are some potential future dlcs that make sense? I want to hear your ideas. My ideas not in any particular order are:>Slaanesh(Masque)/Vampire Counts(Neferata)/Norsca(Mortkin)>High Elves(Caradryam)/Wood Elves(Daith)/Dark Elves(Tullaris)>Cathay(Li Dao)/Skaven(Thanquol)/Tomb Kings(Ramhotep)>Dwarves(Kazador)/Greenskins(Gorfang)/Empire(Ar-Ulric)>Character only pack: Yin-Yin/Araloth/Valten/Crom/Egrimm>Dogs of War Race Pack>Undead Legion Race Pack for Nagash
>>484145240who is the guy in the front and middle?
>watch Troonin to see what MPfags play like>first video I pull up is VCoast vs Dwarfs,>autistically screeching about Land Ships and Thunderbarge needing nerfs>its all flat land with barely any places to hide troops for some interesting ambushes>bitches about how the VCoast needs to bring out artillery (Caronade Cannons) to deal with Thunderbarge which is somehow a bad thing
>>484117302ogres need better mechanics, kinda the same for the greenskins although they're still good as is. Khorne just need some variety to their roster and start positions.
>>484148647In lore ? No. In game ? Rats hold Black Crag province lmao. Red Fang hold dominon over Black Crag in lore, they never were in Iron Rock.
>>484149742idk what happened last few years everyone was hyped for twg playing in the cup
>>484149771Catahy's next DLC is monkey king and they're never gonna get any after that. Legend made it so when be leaked lords of ching chang. Everyone hated it so much that CA shat their pants and had to pivot.
>>484149771I'm not sure if I want Caradryan and Korhil to be made into lords or not, actually.
>>484149979Thunderbarge already got nerfed into the ground because of these niggers, if they make it fucking useless I will go apeshit.
>>484149771>Slaanesh(Masque)/Vampire Counts(Neferata)/Norsca(Mortkin)this one is a no brainer>High Elves(Caradryam)/Wood Elves(Daith)/Dark Elves(Tullaris)underrated idea although i would swap daith with araloth>Cathay(Li Dao)/Skaven(Thanquol)/Tomb Kings(Ramhotep)cathay needs a second dlc i thought it would include ogres although i guess not so i do not know who to pair them with i guess this one is ok>Dwarves(Kazador)/Greenskins(Gorfang)/Empire(Ar-Ulric)\kazador vs gorfang dlc is absolutely going to happen since gorbad is being replaced. this is an obvious no brainer like slaanesh vs neferata>Character only pack: Yin-Yin/Araloth/Valten/Crom/Egrimmnot bad although i think if they do character packs there will be at least two with one chaos and one order themed>Dogs of War Race Packwe know it is happening>Undead Legion Race Pack for Nagashi think he will be the final dlchere is what i am thinking>vamps: neferata/slaanes: masque/tomb kings: ramhotep>dogs of war race pack with any 3 lls as long as borgio is one of them>dark elves: tullaris/high elves: fiubar/wood elves: araloth>cathay: li dao/dwarves: kazador thunderhorn/greenskins: gorfang rotgut>empire: marius leitdorf/skaven: thanquol/kislev: prince ivan>order character pack: yin-yin/valten/caradryan/tetto eko/bugman>chaos character pack: styrkaar/feytor/haargroth/melekh/ghark
>>484151102Finubar can literally be done by giving a generic lord a special trait lol.
>>484150938he talks about how its so cool to see it now that its been nerfed, all MPfags care about some meta choice shit instead of having fun because he then mentions how everyone would use it.
>>484118064>>484114928I WOULD NEVAH KILL DA RATTIES!RATTIES ARE FWENDS, NOT FOOD! WE JUS HAVE SUM NEIGHBORS UNDER US, IZ ALL, DON'T BE WIGGIN' OUT BOYZ!
>>484142793I had a similar issue with only two armies, the solution was to simply conquer more land than they could take. Take all their cities, they’ll take less in the same time, then circle around and take back what they took. Even if you declare war on every single faction (this-is-total-war campaign) you can still conquer faster than they conquer you, the game is easy.
>>484149771Must haves:>Slaanesh(Styrkaar)/Vampires(Neferata)/Cathay(Li Dao)Neferata and Slaanesh NEED to happen. I just threw in Cathay because I didn't know who else to add.>Dwarves(Kazador)/Greenskins(Gorfang)/Warriors of Chaos(Crom)Kazador vs Gorfang is one of the few left lore rivalry dlcs they can still make.>Beastmen(Gorthor)/Norsca(Mortkin)/Empire(Valten)Gorthor and Mortkin both attacked Ostland so it is fitting for them to be in a dlc together also with the Empire.>Nagash Race PackNagash needs his own race. Can add two missing LLs to be the other two lords for the race pack. He should also be able to confederate all Vampire Counts/Vampire Coast/Tomb Kings.>Dark Elves(Tullaris)/High Elves(Caradryan)/Wood Elves(Araloth)Araloth would take Talsyn. The other guy can be moved anywhere else. Caradryan and Tullaris would be the main rivalry of the dlc since they hold the same role in their races.>Dogs of War Race PackWould be nice to have although not really necessary.
>Never played a Total War game>Get the itch to learn>Apparently I own these from previous salesI know a little bit in that Shogun 2, Rome then miles behind is Britannia for recommendations. Is this like Assassins Creed where the games are all the same and you're to pick the setting that interests you the most? If so, it's Britannia, Rome then miles behind Shogun. Should I pick the "best" game with (for me) a boring setting. Or the worst with an interesting setting?
>>484149771here is what i would doslaanesh, norsca, and tomb kings. slaanesh gets masque as ll and stykaar as flc ll, norsca gets mortkin, and tomb kings gets ramhotep the visionary.wood elves, high elves, and dark elves. wood elves get daith as ll and flc araloth, high elves get caradryan, and dark elves get tullaris dreadbringer.dwarves, greenskins, and kislev. dwarves get kazador dragonslayer as ll and joseph bugman as flc, greenskins get gorfang rotgut. kislev gets an oc ll since there is not anyone else.coc style dlcs for empire, vampire counts, and cathay. empire gets marius leitdorf, ar-ulric, kurt helborg, and valten as ll. flc is boris todbringer. vampire counts get neferata, zacharis, ushoran, and an oc jade vampire. flc is red duke. this ensures all bloodlines now have a ll.cathay gets li dao, monkey king, yin-yin, and shen-zoo.
Just give Tyrion the power to confederate dark elves and both races are fixed.
>>484154405Not lore friendly. If you want lore friendly Malekith should be able to confederate all dark elves, high elves, and wood elves just like he did when became the eternity king and Tyrion was the only one that rebelled against him.
>>484153215The latter. IMO Brittania is underrated. It's poor reputation is mostly because it looks like DLC for the previous game, and not because of it's gameplay. In fact it's probably the most unique TW of the last ten years, so even if you don't like it you may like a different one. All three are relatively distinct in gameplay so you could give each of them an hour or two before deciding.
>>484154627
>>484153215try Shogun 2 first, its the most vanilla, bread and butter Total War up until you get Realm Divide.
>>484155416>Plays warhammer game>Doesn't want warhammer lore
>>484157391>End Times is not canon to Total War, only 8th ed is
>>484155416Helffag detected, The whole thing about the high elves never actually having Asuryan's blessing because they cheesed his literal trial by fire was good because it not only goes a long way towards explaining why certain Phoenix Kings were shit heads(War of Beard comes to mind) or inneffectual(Finubar), the worst aspects getting purged by the flame also explains why he sacrifices himself to save the Everslag, it also puts the funnest Helf trait front and center as Malekith is still an arrogant prick, because of course the main Helf god wouldn't consider nigh-unwarranted arrogance as a negative trait. I personally would argue that Teclis' entire charactization and actions(killing ulric in particular) during the End Times is a much bigger afront to Helf lore only rivaled by Tyrion being purged of Khaine instead of just managing it.
>"actually, Malekith getting burned was because he was supposed to be the next Phoenix King, he just had to stay in the fire a bit longer to avoid countless, pointless knife fag conflicts!"actual End Times lore
are high elves in a good spot?
>>484158978Yes
>For the battle of Karak Azul, the head of Queek>For the killing of Belagar Angrund, rightful king of 8-peaks, the head of Queek>For the death of many thousand Dawi, the head of Queek>Now die miserable sons of the sewerHOLY FUARKING ENDTIMES KINO
>>484159073>gets oneshot by Thorgrim who barely managed to save everyone>forgets to lock a secret door that Snikch found then assassinates Thorgrim>uses said secret door to destroy everything Thorgrim just spent his time trying to save
Holy fuck Elspeth is boring. She is personally a good lord with good bonuses, but good god the Nuln campaign is awful. This is just Franz's campaign without his confederation mechanic and without any diplomacy, you spend 50+ turns fighting the exact same enemies. But hey at least her tanks and tier 3 artillery are really good, you know those units that you won't get until your campaign is practically already over.It's almost like she's not meant to be played but confederated by a player Franz.
>>484159381Nah some dwarfs survive and help during the final battle
Love me a bloody siege
>>484139123He's probably gonna have some batshit insane buffs to his whole army is they're gonna do the whole "1 army, if it gets defeated you lose" thing, at least enough to take on 2 full stacks maybe more when you progress his research. Otherwise he'll be unbeliably bad and not fun even as a challenge run considering how inclined the ai is to have 2+ armies walking next to each other once they can afford it, you'll end up playing more like skarsnik rather than an undefeated khorne champion.
>>484159679A lot of new factions focus on battles than the campaign mechanics itself. Her teleport mechanic is designed in a way that she can join the closest battle to her territories asap.
>>484131959play the enchantress and laugh at how the grail guardians solo everything without losing a single model
>>484122573Tempted to buy Pharaoh but I'm NOT that excited enough to buy it 30% off. Maybe at 50.
>>484161070It's ~13 dollars on most key sites.
>>484153215pick based on setting, though I'd say out of those Rome 2 is by far the most feature complete, Britannia is basically a standalone expansion and shogun 2 has a very narrow focus and smaller map

>Me, a toddler, designing the rat roster"Ok, so, deir leader is gonna be a magic rat in impegnitrabel armor and shoots lighting once every few secunds! And he has a wobot hand thats so stwong it can snip throuw ANYTHING! An he's so smawt and stwong he can beat up melee characters while shooting lightning CONSTANTLY and he has hero frends who are rats but de're riding BIGGER rats and the rats will randomly EXPLODE! just all the time but it wont huwt them it'll only hurt da enemies and the enemies will run away because da big wats do feaw and tewwor but even if da enemy does fight dem and doesn't wun away it won't matter because... because da big wats... dey have a TON of awmor... and they REGENERATE wike wolverween faster than da enemy can huwt them! And the little wats, they never give up. But even if dey do bweak they come back again a couble minutes later so dey can get another free charge bonus in.... and da WATS HAVE LAZER GUNS! LAZERS THAT GO PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW and some big ones that go PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW and you better not shoot dem or magic rats will appear on the shotty guys to take their guns away and da wats can have as many magic rats come to help as they want mhm, mhm. Also da wats... da wats can TELEPORT! If theres a mountain in the way dey can just teleport over it but the enemy can't the enemy has to walk around. If the enemy is on the other side of da mountains den da wats are safe and can whateeeeever dey want. Also some rats will have a nuke I decided. But waIT wait even if da enemy beats da wats... even if da enemy beat da wats then the wats curse them and they get sick so next tiem the rats beat them for sure! And the sickness don't go away neither. And also if someone has a city somewhere and da wats wanna have a city der they can just build one there too it's fine. But if someone takes a rat city that's BAD and the rats will leave corruption so they can't just have it they'll take attrition and have to have an army guard the city fowever!

>>484169606the nanu one is bloated and overpoweredthere are no good mods for coastjust play empire chud
>>484169287They have already expressed intent on doing a norca dlc and giving them a much needed rework so they will get better in a year, until then you should avoid that faction since half of their mechanics are bugged and the other half is just worse woc
>>484169891Alright I'll wait to usher in the age of beasts, thanks bro
>>484169856There's mods that give Sartosa access to more mortal pirate units, like giving her Slayer Pirates, Landship, and Ogre LeadbelchersIf you don't want to go full Nanu you still have lots of options
>>484170304do they also give good units?

The path lies open. No land has more skulls than this fledgling Empire.On a side note, Skarbrand is moving so fast that we can't embed the Cultist hero. I recruited him at about turn 3.
>>484171110Baiting, or just retarded?
>>484169856Tbh Nanu is not that overpowered if you play on legendaryYou can try the VCoast expansion mod but its kinda psychotic and theres no description of what it does
>>484171050Both. Coves are how you raise a bunch of hero caps, but you want to take certain wealthy ports too
I feel like I'm playing the game wrong just taking settlements without stopping, I just end up with too many fronts and a lot of underdeveloped provinces

Is there a mod that removes base income from factions for warhammer 2? Everyone gets 3000 gold/turn for nothing, enough to pump a full stack right away. Everyone always has enough army to take over a town, having built no infrastructure, having saved no war treasury, 0 effort. What happened to surviving on skeleton garrisons, squeezing your economy for 10 turns, then going into potentially crippling debt to build up 1 army that can hopefully crush your neighbors and disband before bankrupting you?
Is it worth it paying 5k for a casket of souls early on as Settra?
>>484185879yeahits fun

Fun fact: Gor-Rok has 15% physical resistanceFun fact part 2: Gor-Rok's weapon provides 18% physical resistanceFun fact part 3 (final): Gor-Rok starts with Lord Kroak who can grant 10% ward save to the lord of the embedded armyMaybe you should try an Itza campaign
>>484187069I did and half my armies are just shitty Dinos that don't actually kill anything + chameleon skinks around turn 50 Lizardmen are bad
>>484169217I think GW teased a black African faction for the Old World tabletop. Aethiopya or something.
Ah, the noble Bretonnian knight!
>>484187069He's so big and awesome, oh my god! I wish I could be his attendant!But I also think you should just play Tehenhauin and confed (and declare war on) him instead and get Kroak the normal way.
>>484187434Get Saurus with shields, get casters, and remember a Lizardman Artillery Duel is sending your stegadons through their front lines to melee their artillery to death.

>>484171110Regardless of what you think about them, they fill holes in your autistic playstyle and would let you use more than 2 strategies
man, it's kind of hard to upgrade my little marauders to cool chaos warriors...
I know I'm slow, but I just saw the Legend response to the DLC announcement. He still somehow believes his info was legit and they pivoted because of his leak. Autistic people are way too gullible.
>>484190528I find you sometimes need to cycle a group in the grinder and one in reserve that's replenishing with the chaos warriors you have supporting the marauders you send inunits tend to get most of their XP from just being in an army that wins anyway so its kind of whatever, melee units anyway
>>484117302Ogres need a full mechanical update, greenskins are fine racially but could use a bit more love on specific faction mechanics but are always fun to play, and khorne also needs just a little bit more to do but is mad fun to play. All 3 unga bunga factions are also cool to stomp around the map with so more stuff is fun.
there really is no pleasing histoids, is there?
>>484193029Fire arrows have a historical basis wtf is that retard talking about
>>484193029No, and that's why we embrace make-believe. Even our military doesn't give a shit about history slop.
>>484117302We?The fuck you mean we?Don't speak for me faggot, two of my favorite races are in this DLC.
>>484193851>wait, why are we fighting the greenskins? they sound and look just like us!
>>484193851You cannot convince me that there is, militarily speaking, anything of value to learn from playing total fucking warhammer.
>>484194316>You cannot convince me that there is, militarily speaking, anything of value to learn from playing total fucking war.ftfy
>>484194316considering zoomers need books to be rewritten with emojis maybe they need military training to come with health bars and waypoints too
>>484193029>>484193573I still remember some shitty historical movie I saw years ago. Might have been one where people go back in time to the medieval ages, but not the one about the black guy. Basically night time and the castle comes under siege. The invaders fire regular arrows and the character yells "NIGHT ARROWS!". Made me laugh back then and makes me laugh thinking about it now.
>>484193573you know how warhammer "lore experts" don't actually know dick about the setting, never read a book and just parrot youtube videos?imagine that, but with lindybeige viewers
It's over, /twg/ must be destroyed.
>>484194316Not anymore, would have been super valuable to ancient people. Games are how men learn how to fight wars, we have military sims now that train soldiersThere are some lessons that carry over: flanking, local force superiority, morale, etc.

game really thought I would lose. it always underestimates my gobbo boys, they had picked apart the army so much that by the time they got to my infantry, they were easily mopped up. took a lot of damage tho, impossible to avoid since almost all of kislev's units shoot back. I sent this stack alone into RoC kislev (on L/VH max cheats), and theoretically it should be hard countered by kislev, but i keep making it work with good micro. the plan was to backcap all their cities while their armies were out on campaign, and it worked perfectly. They came back one by one and this army beat them all. Every siege, every battle gave me a defeat but my gobbo boys beat them. At this point, astrogoth wont have anything to do by the time he gets back. these gobbos are going to conquer all of kislev by themselves. I'm so proud of them.
>>484208707>Also why the fuck slaneesh is able to seduce kroxigorslol
>>484208764Some debuffs can be good too in certain circumstances (doom and darkness to proc terror), some direct damage spells which are either very cost effective or just hit really hard can be good (spirit leech or rancid visitations) and some LLs can lower the costs of certain spells so much that they become good even if they'd normally suck ass

How good is vigour loss reduction really?
>>484209551If you can stack enough of it? Or pair it with a source of vigor recovery? AmazingThe tooltips don't show it but vigor loss is a huge debuff
>>484209318I do miss me them oldhammer vibes. Especially when GW wasn't afraid of only catering to adults.
>>484209651What even is the debuff and how long does it take for units to become tired usually?
>>484209551In theory, fantasticBut it's hard to actually get a substantial boost to vigor reduction and the 15% that a few factions get makes fuck-all difference
>>484209551Pretty goodIt's essentially an armywide buff to any stats that are usually debuffed by vigorThat said there's not a lot of good ways to stack it so like it's usually just "okay"
>>484209708
>>484209513Well first of all Rome 2 has one of the worst battles in TW on the same level as Troy. There is no way you can put Rome 2 and Attila next to each other as equals. Pharaoh is good for a game about spearmanii but I don't want to say anything definitive about it until I see how the cavalry and new lethality system will work. If they will work like advertised then it will be one of the top TW games.
I cant wait to laugh when total war 40k never becomes a thing.
>put lord on a horse>now he can barely hit anything>often just stand there getting hit by everything and melts>try to attack a lonely hero>he keeps circling around it>must micro it so he gets the charge bonus>even then he often misses the charge or get stuck in a lonely swordsmen somewhere and doesn't chargeWhy does this game hate horses so much?
>>484209963It's only Warhammer that has this problem. Maybe play Attila or Med 2 if you are a cav enjoyer
>>484209730>What even is the debuffAt max tiredness:-15% speed-30% MA-10% MD-25% armor-30% CB-35% reload speedIn other words, all their damage dealing stats are nerfed to hell and their damage resist stats take a slight to medium penaltyAs for how long it takes units to become tired, it depends entirely on what they're doingClimbing ladders instantly puts them at max fatigue. Otherwise, charging tires them out the fastest while shooting or fighting tires them out about half as quickly as chargingRunning adds a bit of tiredness but not much, walking actually loses tiredness for infantry and gains tiredness so slowly for other units that it might as well not being going up. Being ready to receive a charge slowly lowers tiredness, and being idle more quickly lowers it. Being idle in rain or snow causes units to recover tiredness slower than they would otherwise.

>>484212498I don't think it's possible to get there in time
>>484212924It's down to rng. Sometimes he goes the other way and you have just enough time to go there after force confeding your starting enemy. At least that's how I did it in the past, and there aren't any new factions in that part of the map since he was put there, so I doubt that changed.

Monkey King is going to be a legendary hero for Li Dao isn't he? Balthazar Gelt would literally be able to attack him on turn one if they open up Ind since they would border each other. It would be the only place in the entire game two LLs could attack each other on turn one.
>>484213968Both will be LLs, one will be FLC and the other will be paidI suspect Monkey King will be paid, Li Dao will be FLC
>>484213968Monke king is going to be a FLC LL for Tzeentch.
>>484148037>>484151643Thanks, this was actually pretty useful insight, I had the wrong mindset and the startposition makes more sense now.
monke kang should be a LH and no more.
You think people will lewd the Monkey King like the other furfag races?
>>484213968from a lore perspective monkey king makes more sense as hero then a lord. also not sure how it can work to have both him and li dao as lords if they need to release at the same time. there is also the other issue that li dao needs his monks. someone would have to be flc. which means either monkey king doesn't get to buff his monkey men or li dao cannot buff his monks since both would be in the dlc and flc lls don't buff dlc units.the solution to making them both be lords would be to do a coc style dlc for cathay
>>484214341I am sure it has all ready been done.
>>484214341No. He would just a subrace under Cathay like Drycha for wood elves. Have some units only he can use and a lot of Cathay units he cannot use.
It's a travesty what they did to poor Throgg, putting an OP bully right next to him so he dies at turn 2
Imagine if Dwarfs actually played like insular shut-ins instead of going on map-painting crusades with their legions of elite infantry
>>484214516Right right, good thing nobody ever lewded Drycha
>>484214760retake the realms!
>>484214760That should have been a Thorgrim only mechanic, Dwarfs as a whole should have played more like Wood Elves but with every Hold being a major settlement in need of cleansing instead of just a few Magic Forests
>>484214760It would be better if there was a subterranian map where rats, dwarf and greenskins could access easily, while normal factions have to work for it.
>>484214913Would help if their climate suitability wasn't so allowingDorfs should really only be comfortable in mountains and consider everything else orange at best, the badlands shouldn't be so welcoming to Thorgrim
>>484213802I dunno, this seems like Queek gay raped this guy
>>484213968I personally took the gelt move as an outright disconfirmation of monkey king being a Legendary Lord precisely because of that reason. They made a big event chain for Gelt in his new place. They aren't going to throw that away and move him again. Like you said they would be able to attack each on turn 1 so there would only be two possibilities at that point. Monkey King being a LL but not starting in his lore location or he ends up a LH for Cathay instead. Those are the only two possibilities.
>>484215328what did tzeentch mean by this?
>>484215328oh please. they can easily make up any bullshit they want to in order to retcon monkey kang wherever they want him to be.
>>484215480didn't mean to quote you, i just click on people to post faster and sometimes I forget to delete the quote :(anyway, chorfs have a pretty chill campaign. you just have to build the drill thing and you're not even really in a rush. fighting kislev is suffering but it's a welcome challenge I guess
Do poison and flaming attacks dodge physical resistances, or does it have to be magical attacks
>>484216008Magical onlyPoison is a contact effect that debuffs enemiesFlaming is a contact effect that weakens healing by 50%. Also, a bunch of units have fire resist or fire weakness which increases or decreases damage taken by the weakness or resist percentageSo for example, Imrik deals fire damage when his unique weapon is active, but he also inflicts 60% fire weakness between his abilities and his fire mage's abilitiesThis means that on top of weakening healing Imrik's damage jumps up 60%, meaning his damage jumps up from 1880 to about 3000Chaos Dwarfs, especially Astragoth, can do similar levels of fuckery with their fire weakness stacking
>>484216404darklands fire weakness debuffing is real
>>484216404>his damage jumps up from 1880 to about 3000jesus

>>484220640She's made of wood ffs You wouldn't fuck a tree
>>484216404>too irrelevant to get nerfed like MalusFeels good knowing CA doesn't care enough about high elves to nerf them.
>>484221258He actually did catch some nerfs a few patches ago, he used to have innate fire attacks and Killing Blow, now he only has fire attacks when his weapon buff is active and he has Colossal Strike which is quite a bit worse than Killing Blow.But that all said, the AI just isn't smart enough both in battle and in choosing skills to stack fire weakness properly enough for Imrik (or Astragoth) to become a problem. Usually.
>>484221468That wasn't a nerf it was done so he isn't completely useless again chorfs.
>>484221603The fire change arguably wasn't a nerf, the Colossal Strike change was.
Can't wait for the 40k game.
which faction would you say has the biggest disadvantage or advantage by their position in the turn-sequence relative to their neighbours. wh3
>>484220716Speak for youself
>>484223307Probably still Khatep.
>>484223307Aren't turns done in alphabetic order of the race name and then the subfaction table number? So Beastmen and Brettonia should be at the biggest advantage.
>>484223643Is this why the undead are NEVER a threat?
>>484223850Not according to Empiresissies
>>484214949And a higher map for daemons. Realm of chaos but not cringe.
>>484223643No I think the LLs get to go first somehow
>>484223643>>484223850no its by generation, wh3 factions first, then wh2, then last wh1 factions.so demon prince, kislev, demon factions, and cathay are living good.
>>484223921I am one of the most prolific Empire players, with at least 50 Karl campaigns over all games and half that divided amongst the the ones.Vamps have not been a big deal since the healing cap. Even then, bright wizards and witch hunters had them under control. Vlad is just a shadow of what Vamp healing used to be but only unga bunga retards cant deal with him.
>>484209318>devious reasons of his ownYou just know.
>>484209708The artists that did those paintings are either dead or became so famous and expensive it's unsustainable. Also most of them worked with GW when it was in different hands. Pic related(RIP) had ownership over all the old artwork and when he sold GW(because it became too casual and mainstream for him) he actually opened a gallery you could go and see them in their original glory.
>CA said every faction will get somethingSqvire does that mean Bretonnia will get an Errantry war (Crusades - WAAAGH edition) update?
Is Skarbrand too smart ? I'm not complaining really, but he is a faction leader and besides killing and bloodletting, he has to sustain economy. I heard he was supposed to be mindless
>>484228306nothing fills you with more rage than doing finances
TW40K will have rats when GW eventually adds them in like they did with dwarfs & TW40K will be used to promote their minis. Screencap this post for it shall come true.
the kislev guy that turns into a demon fucking sucks bro
>>484228616Squats existed as the dwarf stand in 30 years ago. They just revived them. Skaven equivalents are ratlings, a sub unit of the guard. They will never be made a full faction or get any new lore or models. GW had been streamlining the 'Astra Militarum' for a decade or more and even non joke regiments like the Elysian Jump Troops are old and forgotten, probably forever. They killed Yarrick and missed the opportunity to expand on the Steel Legion specifically because they are too problematic as being Wehrmacht stand ins.
If I max out the Nemesis Crown do I get to keep it permanently or until lost in battle like the Sword of Khaine or do I perpetually have to chase battles with it?
>>484226956No
>>484228989>Skaven equivalents are ratlingsThose are halflings, like hobitses.IIRC there was a planet of mutant ratmen mentioned, but it was just 1 planet they are not an empire that can be a major faction.
>>484228989>Skaven equivalents are ratlingsyeah because when I think of short humans with hairy feet and large appetites my first thought isn't "halfling/hobbit equivalent" it's "skaven equivalent"
>>484228989The Imperium is the Skaven stand in.
>>484226956Qui and a LL
>>484226956No CA said they are 100% done with Bretonnia and to only expect bugfixes and balance changes.
>>484232416Source?
what do the weapons around the faction icon mean again? i'm playing kholek btw
>>484228989>They just revived them.They were never truly gone they were in Necromunda for years before being put into 40k. Also the army in 40k isn't squats at all, they are Votan. Squat is the name for the mutants that live on imperial worlds and is reserved to settings like Necromunda while the 40k army is a completely different thing with a different background.
Why is Cathay jobbing to him so hard. I swear I have to save so much I should just colonize the land.
>>484233604Try fighting lokhir on a dragon as cathay with an army of peasants and a cathay generic lord. He gobbles them up
>>484229204You have to fight stuff if you aren't it'll just reset and respawn elsewhere
>>484233903Loreful
>>484228616They would be a nice aesthetic addition, but Skaven are essentially an alternative beastmen faction. There already are beastmen in 40k which are explained by abhuman experimentation and warp mutations, and their trope niche is already kinda filled by genestealers and tyranids. Some rat mutants might rise on some world, but no way they would believably to rise above the threat level of some random backwater cult. Only way actual skaven faction would make their way to 40k is to actually write Horned Rat gnawing its way to alternate realities and ending up in 40k, and that's an asspull too. Besides, the imperium is essentially fucking space skaven already...
News in 30 minutes?
>>484228616let's hope not. Now other aliens, that could be cool.
>>484234894>it's loreful that one dark elf stack gobbles up 4 AI cathayan onesAnd I was literal inches from the reinforcement zone too.
Are you supposed to solo every battle with Skarbrand? Was that the intended Khorne experience? Why did I even buy an army?
>>484236872Dark Elves treat Cathay as their slave farms and hunting grounds, no matter Dragon Emperor's posturing and Nu-Lore
>>484228989>>484235010Ratlings and Beastmen and the Imperium are not the Skaven of 40K, the 40K Skaven are the Hrud.Hrud were later retconned into weird bug monsters, but the original ones were just Skaven in Space. And 40K has enough of a history of retcons that if GW really wanted to bring in Space Skaven they could easily just retcon the Hrud again.In fact there's so little lore for the Hrud that GW might not even NEED to retcon it, just say that there's multiple forms of Hrud or that the bug things are Moulder monster equivalents or something
>>484233903Yep. Plus even without Lokhir just Dark Elves vs Cathay early game is not a particularly easy matchup for Cathay since Dark Elves are also a infantry+crossbow army and they get their good shit earlier.
Am I crazy or did they break the "Continue Campaign" button? It doesn't load the campaign, just opens the main menu
>>484233090That's where their capital is.
>>484237393Same for me. It quick loads the intro and then I end up at the menu. My Ironman save also has a strange name.
>>484237393>use cheats>game breaksKWAB
>>484236982It's not fun. CA should nerf Lokhir a bit like Malus.
Why didn't cathay stop the end times
>>484238582Grimgor's WAAGH destroyed it. Catahy never had to deal with greenskins due to the ogres and sea so they were completely unprepared for what came.

>>484238809That's a vampire cunt
>>484238809Lokhir isn't a pirate. Pirates are criminals. Lokhir is a corsair that works withing the charter given to his family by the Witch King. He's working a honest job.

>>484240762He's my self insert
>>484237031I mean the imperium in its entirety is the space skaven. So much of the empire tech is borderline moulder/skryre territory, and their fighting tactics often boild down to drowning the enemy in penal legions and zealots and then cleaning them up with bombardments and elite units.

How do I regain motivation to play the game?
>>484258484IF you do not beeline for Hochland after Vlad you WILL be swamped by disease and the Norscans coming in from Nordland. It might even be too late for that by then. There is a chance the dwarfs will keep Vlad busy for a short while but Hochland is dead if you do not intervene and then you have endless plagues to fight through.If you get bogged down there and Middenland dies to beastmen and orcs, Reikland will be under threat - yet you will not be able to hold anything else and will lose the war via attrition. You can say goodbye to Nordland/Ostermark/Ostland/Talabecland. Where as if you go Vlad after, you might just lose most of Stirland + Ostermark. Rush Marienburg city, secure the fortresses and then beeline Middenland, deal with the black pit and the beastmen on your way to the nurgle shithead, contain or kill him. Might be only able to weaken him. Then start the vampire wars.If you build it right (at least one of each; bright wizard and a witch hunter, with a strong gunline), Franz' main army can be both anti nurgle and vampires, your two biggest early issues. That same army is super effective vs Drycha and you can reclaim Ostermark easily with your now veteran fire damage army. After that you can divide the troops into someone else's army and go full Reiksguard hammer and anvil Karl end game, since he should be 30+.

>playing as Louen>lots of battles>need to constantly declare war > beat an enemy into submission > sue for peace (on my terms) because another frontline has opened and my Damsels haven't fulfilled their pledgesPretty fun. On the other hand N'kari is no longer an issue because Allarielle went full murderhobo and now outlevels me while wielding SoK
Ok the game definitely stutters more as you move the camera during battle. It's like they divided the map into squares and moving too far causes a stutter as the next square is loaded
>tretch's new intro where he calls in an attack and fucks offmade me giggle
>>484269736meh. I was told they were better than dwarfs, and while the artillery is better, and they have magic and SEs, they don’t have ironwarden tankards, irondrakes, and thunderbarges, so I think dwarfs are a lot better
>>484269648Some upgrades in the forge give you regeneration, also Demonsmith Sorcerers can heal some units, more if you use some forge upgrades.
>>484270183He is just leading from rear. As any smart-brave skaven would do.
>>484270435even the regular dorf economy is better
>>484270435Dwarves are better since dlc, chaos dwarves could have some train superunit to compete with the barge. Although they did nerf barges
That rocket launcher (deathskriek rl?) feel really weak. I tought that was the anti-air / anti-artillary piece for chorfs but it does nothing. Its just a better version of a mortar.
>Races being shit on purpose is funWhy does it work for coast but not for norsca?
>>484272703>Why does it work for coastdoes it?
>Every rat that goes this way is deadIs basically tretch introWhy do they still do it?
>>484273341Because they know Tretch is going back to get them help. He is the most loyal rat there is.

>>484276284Same but I think about myself
>>484276550But that's all they're good for?
>>484276732No they are the wild chaos grug race
>>484276898norscabros...
>>484277142Norsca in lore exists to get beat up by roaming WoC and elves when on sea.
>>484276898>>484277142Exactly. Norsca are the grug version of chaos, beastmen are the pee pee poo poo coomer version.
>>484277142Norsca has the king of rape race in their lineupTherefore the dichotomy is that Norsca is rape central while Beastmen are grug central
>>484210903Sounds like someone wants to visit a reeducation camp
Coeddil has a mortis engine built into his kit.
Warhammer gets QoL changes from Pharaoh like seeing your soldiers actually enter battle animations when?
>>484278104>seeing your soldiers actually enter battle animations when?What exactly do you mean by this?
>>484277325>beastmen are the pee pee poo poo coomer versionSlaanesh tho
>>484278315Think duels but every regular unit can do it with another regular unit.
>>484278458>>484278104That only works in spearmanii vs spearmanii games like Rome and Pharaoh. Its impossible to animate every matchup in wh.Also, combat match animations are retarded memes. It killed the pacing of battles in historical games. Med2 had the best. No combat animations so when a model gets surrounded it gets hit simultaniously and from every side.
>>484277373Fimir can't even survive in Norsca. They need comfy humid swamps in the Empire.
>>484279539>unironic Lebensraum posting
It was the will of the late Emperor Theodosius that Rome be divided, and this has left you in a precarious situation. Overstretched and desperately trying to protect the Western Empire from barbarian threat, the burden of military and civil maintenance has left your economy in tatters. Public order is waning so it may be wise to consolidate your forces closer to the capital, ceding frontier territories as a buffer if necessary. Once your infrastructure has been strengthened and the immediate threats dealt with, you will be ready to strike forth: conquer your enemies and - if possible - regain dominion over the Eastern Roman Empire. Build a Roman Empire worthy of Augustus himself!
Scarcity creates desire.Abundancy leads to Inertness. Don't be like Warhammer 3.be like Attila.

>>484279931Empire IS occupying rightful Fimir clay.
>>484280074>late Emperor TheodosiusI wish you could revive him just so I could kill him myself. Not only did he legitimize greek scammers but also ruined Rome in general.
>>484280717>Kill for Khorne as I do, and you will reap your just rewards.
>>484280717Dumb traitorous slut that betrayed and back stabbed her father and lover to get into power. All because her father feed starving norscans during a bad raiding season.
>>484283486The father sounds like a coward and probably Slaaneshi, the weak should fight for their food to become strong.
What would you think about a Chorf LL lord that is a hobgoblin that boosts the other greenskins while sorta nerfing the actual dawi-zharr, sort of like Drycha for the Welfs
>>484284086Norscans aren't chaos cultist they actually need to eat. Also Valkia failed as a woman and a norscan and never birthed a son only two weak women who she later killed like the eternal backstabbing traitor she is. She even failed Khorn trial of ascension and was turned into a daemon as a joke because Khorne needed a eternal jobber.
>>484284813I can give her the son she never had
>>484285136Too late Khorne made her infertile so no more jobbers can be born.
>>484117234what if people from Araby used their magic lamps as guns?
>>484284813Killing for the right to eat earns you Khorne's blessing and brings you closer to the gods, the most powerful tribes are created this way. The weakest, most degenerate tribes farm and trade with the southerners but those are nothing to aspire to. Khorne also cares nothing about birth, only killing.

Here is an autistic question; would lizardmen ever make a deal with Luthor? I started a Luthor campaign and about to declare war on Alberic. I tought i should get some gold out of the liggers he is genociding but actually recieving gold from lizards seems kinda weird. Luthor would certainly try to get some gold from liggers diplomatically, but would lizards ever respond to his messages?
>>4842860713 months.
>>484286918if lizards saw allying with luthor a way to fight against chaos, then yes
>>484286918>RPing in a total war game
>>484287065It's a shame there's not more lore around feral lizardmen and the cultural pitfalls they can fall into, like the dragon isles ones that worship a volcano
>>484287345>like the dragon isles ones that worship a volcanokek retards
Bull Centaur RendersBull Centaur Renders (Great Weapons)Bull Centaur Renders (Dual Axes)which do you prefer?
>>484287719Dual Axes, for maximum chaff rape.
>>484287719Dual Axes mostly. But sword&board version is also very good to approach and fuck enemy ranged units.
>>484288002What's the point of a shield if you have an entire horse body that can easily be hit by arrows
>>484285919Once again Norscans aren't chaos cultist. If you want to aspire to the status of a chaos warrior you pack it up at trek through the chaos wastes to seek favor(which Valkia failed and died when she tried).
Skarbrand regains movement from razing settlements and goes on such a killing spree that barely half of the map will be remaining by turn 30.What of U'zhul and the Khorne FLC? How will they play?
>>484288525No. There are tribes like the Skaramor and Tong whose every member is stronger than a regular chaos warrior and who don't come south because people there are too weak to fight. You become like that by killing shit, not farming or trading.
>>484288627I want them to be slow and weak and actually have some value to having an empire but dlcs lately have all been durr here's powercreep with no thought behind it. Less is more shite company shite designers shite devs shite director
Wood elves campaigns are extremely good and thematic i hope every race gets up to par
>>484288150You should still block the percentage that the shield offers, making shields even more important for large entities.
>>484289331Me too. Khorne has so many cool units but we never get to see most of them because the campaign is already over. 3 lords will hopefully equate to 3 different experiences.
>>484247332>uhm, le youtuber?No. Also, Hrud have in common with the Skaven pretty much just being underground, sneaky and nasty.
>>484289134Norscans aren't retards that live in the chais wastes. They are humans that worship some aspects of the chaos gods as nature spirits.
>>484243152>drukhariThey do the body horror schtick too, but so does humanity. The astartes and servitors alone are monstrous.>empire shit worksOnly for those who can afford the old good shit that hasn't broken down yet. Everything else is ramshackle duct tape solutions that don't get replaced or fixed as long as the planetary tithes aren't jeapordized.
>>484290075>They are humansA good one, next you'll be telling me you can trust an elf!
>>484290075The truly devout followers of chaos aspire to be like the northernmost chaos waste tribes, as such Norscan tribes become more chaos corrupted and less interested in farming and trade the further north you go too. Valkia's father was standing in the way of natural cultural development of a chaos tribe.
>>484289420Wood elf campaigns are almost perfect the only thing missing is removing the cooldown on activating ritual in another forestFound this mod that reduces the timer but imo there should be no timer at all if you want to fuck yourself with 3 invasions on multiple forests a turn it should be up to you to decide if you canBut in any case this mod should reduce the campaign timer dramatically down from still https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882397785
>>484290075>Norscans aren't retards>Worship aspects of the chaos godsSounds retarded to me.
>>484287719Great weapons for maximum anticav rape, which is their best role anyways. Also, are they still busted? I haven't played chaos dwarves since they were released.
>>484290953Mpniggers nerfed them a little but they still rape.
>>484290685Empire sucked of Teclis so hard his old practice staff he left is a holy Empire artifact and symbol of the Empire colleges.

The Sisters of Twilight can craft an enchanted item which provides 25% ward save and 15 melee defence.If ever you wished to forge a one-man doomstack for the Wood Elves...
>>484291903>If ever you wished to forge a one-man doomstack for the Wood Elves...Way ahead of you
Traits that are quite valuable for one-man doomstacks:Sigvald: 10% physical resistanceWurrzag: 10% physical resistanceArchaon: 5% physical resistanceThrot: 10% healthYuan Bo: -20% winds of magic costMalekith: FrenzyIsabella (can be revived): RegenerationKroq-Gar: 10 melee defenceNakai: 10 melee defenceVilitch: 5 melee defenceMiao Ying: 3 melee defenceMorghur: 15% missile resistanceDrazhoath: 15% missile resistanceMarkus Wulfhart: 10% missile resistanceEltharion: 10% missile resistanceUngrim: 5% missile resistance
You tell if this is offensive or not because I can't tell if this is supposed to be a parody of what or not it is like the walking definition o Garland's law.
I'm not sure if my gobbo boys can win this. 3 bloodthirsters, rot knights, plague drones, soul grinder, minotaur, and the rest elite infantry.I have no other armies anywhere near this guy. it's like the strongest army I've seen so far and it's just some random rogue army
>>484292451Additional information that may aid in your one-man doomstack endeavours.Nemesis Crown doesn't take up an item slot and provides +20% hp and an incredible mortis engine effectThe Sword of Khaine takes up a weapon slot but provides 30% ward save, massive amounts of weapon strength and most importantly - unbreakable.Best talisman is almost always Talisman of Preservation.Best armour is usually Armour of Destiny.Some races have arcane items that provide resistances.Remember that 90% is the cap for resistances such as ward save and physical resistance.
>>484292451Who would be the best Lord to pick up all of these traits? I almost want to say Ku'gath because of the huge HP pool
Are the units that come with the Champions of Chaos DLC essential for actually having fun with factions like Slaanesh?>inb4 just pirate broUsing Geforce Now atm so I can't
why does this slanesh guy have exactly one boob
>>484292917They are incredibly useful. Chaos Lords of Slaanesh are solid and Chaos Warriors of Slaanesh come in at tier 3 and work as incredible anvils.I couldn't go back to Monogods without their mortal units. They are simply too valuable.
>>484287510>Feral saurus worship volcano>Civilised humans worship Kroq-Gar as a god because of a volcano.Seems pretty based
>>484293028because the single boob is to appeal to men, the no-boob half is masculine and supposed to appeal to womenslaanesh and thus nkari and daemonettes etc all have this because slaanesh is meant to be sexually appealing to everyone (among other appeals)
>>484293247but nobody would be attracted to one boob on a guy, it's weird
>>484292917Chaos sorcerer of slaaneshHellscourge marauder/chaosmani/chosenMarauder horsemenChaos knights of slaaneshYeah it's pretty much unplayable without it
>>484293360doesnt matter, the power of slaanesh would befuddle your mind and turn you into his slave
>>484292852If you had asked me a few weeks ago then I would have said Malus.Vilitch is tanky, has access to a good arcane item but most importantly, he possesses infinite barrier regeneration. I think that is my pick for overall best one-man doomstack.Ku'gath is a titan but his biggest weakness is his extraordinary girth. Melee factions will kneel to him but ranged factions will send him straight back to the toilet. Big + tall = bad for one-man doomstacks.
luthor harkon will shoot you in your ugly disgusting facescreencap this
Imo slaanesh along with all no ranged factions are unplayable
>>484293434True, his width does make it easy to bring him down.

>>484295726Oh of course, silly me. I remember doing it a one man doomstack with Luthor back in TW2 and I just had one unit hiding in the grass.
Interesting tidbits about yellow lines:Khorne has a unique yellow line that provides weapon strength with every skill and can even grant +10% physical resistance. Wood Elves can get +12 Melee Attack and Melee Defence from investing in just one skill.Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer Prophets have a smaller yellow line.Vampires and Ogres get a form of regeneration from their yellow lines.Secret fact: The end of the red line for Tomb Kings grants an area of effect regeneration ability. It has unlimited uses.
>>484296008>>484295513I like these factoids and I shall save them for later review.

here we go. my gobbos have not let me down yet
>>484302631I hope that your Magma Cannon performs well. It was buffed quite dramatically.
well my infantry got smashed by their bloodthirsters, but while they were dying in droves, my wolf raiders shot them all to death>>484302962it spent the first half of the battle getting beaten up by a bloodthirster and retreating, then it spent most of the rest of the battle missing. both my magma cannon and fireglaives, which normally carry hard, got beaten up early and taken out of the fight for a bit. after taking out most of the single entities and cav, the infantry got army losses and ran away before they could really get into melee.
>>484300586Why should we pay money for a reskinned Herald of Khorne?
>>484117302Seriously the only thing I give a shit about at this point is getting Bugman in the game even if he has to be a legendary hero.Also fuck the Jews at CA for not reducing the cost of the Beastmen DLC to this day.

well it took a while, and I really can't afford it at all, but my astrogoth stack is ready to capture some slaves *cough* i mean laborers. thoughts?
Am I crazy or are half of the Empire units bugged. The knights have all black textures, the outriders are missing their guns, some units randomly have blue beards, etc.
>>484306667So they didn't change anything?Why would I waste my time on them?
>>484307196They're permanent and have full skill trees now. So you get two very good legendary heroes. There's no excuse not to get them.
>>484306967>ror putting you in the red
>>484307346So what happens in multiplayer?Does everyone get their own?
>>484307376i wanted the strongest stack possible to send out to collect drill parts, they all get buffed by my redline. I'll stay afloat through conquest
>>484307557Dunno, never played MP. Presumably you can have multiple LLs and LHs there since that's the entire point of faction colors.
>>484307832That's wild bruv you just changed my next campaign.
>>484307974Oh you're talking about co-op? In co-op it's first come first serve.
>>484307832>>484307557in my experience with singleplayer, the faction that gets them first is the only faction that gets them, same with every other legendary hero that can be unlocked by multiple factions
here's my other army, which is mostly composed of units that used to be in my astragoth stack. I think it's still really strong and should be able to conquer on it's own.now to find a way to pay for all this....
I really hope she doesn't declare war on me, because I'm busy in the north with my real armies and I don't think my gobbos can carry this one...
>>484308909shes talking smack, go pimpslap that hoe
>>484309013for me personally tho, I formed two new defensive alliances so that she'll be declaring war on half the world if she attacks, which will give my second best stack time to finish off the greenskins and then head south to secure the last two drill pieces in that directionall in due time, you have to let my master plan play out
>>484307067Yeah, they fucked up the textures in the last patch. Also that Outrider thing where they only pull out their guns when its time to shoot, I think their animations got fucked since ToD released and they haven't noticed.
>>484308909Back in my day, Skrag would control all of that territory.
throgg is so cool I am going to build a troll doomstack then go find sigvald
>>484310128You must really want that 10% physical resistance!
>>484310167sure lets go with that
>>484309686things have changed. I just spent the entire midgame clearing out kislev factions and I look south and the empire controls half the map. if you haven't played RoC recently, give it a try on a character that doesn't have to do the souls race. The turn times are fast and honestly, the map is a fresh change of pace after playing easy IE campaigns over and over
