40k total war would be SICK

I’ve been playing video games my whole life and I’m not sure how I never came across the 40k universe

At 33, I’m hooked in to the audiobooks and lore

I also only found the total war games about 2 years ago

Reliving some of these 40k events in a game would be awesome!

Not sure how CA would do it, but I hope the 40k rumors are true!

Can't cause I agree.

40k Grimdark dystopia feels like set dressing for what is actually just Military Sci-fi: heroics and all with an occasional asshole edginess. I just don't care about any of their stories.

Warhammer fantasy admits it's a shameless ripoff of Tolkien and it's heroic adventure stories are pretty cool.

Why kind of army? Melee rush? Balanced army? Or missiles heavy?
>>
>>497617124
I have no idea, I just pick the units that look cool when I recruit. I don't really play a lot of games like this/these.
>>
>>497617298
what faction are you playing
>>
>>497617331
Taurox, I played him in W2. Didn't really get too far into 2 itself, but it's the only one I was familiar with going into 3.
>>
>>497617425
Beastmen are a melee rush faction, for melee rush factions you can cheat a little by putting all of your frontline troops in a big line and making a locked control group. They will automatically spread out and attack different targets which frees you up to micro units that need it like centigors
>>
>>497617740
With his passive/skills, should I worry more about having Minotaur units in his army? But thank you for answering my questions, I appreciate it.
>>
>>497617425
Beastmen generally prefer to rush, so you can all in melee (infantry, chariots, monster), and you should get yourself a wizard hero for buff or damage. Pay attention to which units that can vanguard deploy closer to the enemy so you will not got wrecked. As taurox your minotaur wouldn't be able to be vanguard deployed unless you have certain item bought with dread.
>>
>>497617425
Taurox has very simple battles and might be easier than some other factions.
Use your dread to unlock as many monsters as you can, particularly minotaurs. You won't have access to a lot of them right away so use whatever you can until then. Compare stars of your units and use the more defensive ones to hold the line, and the faster or more damaging ones to flank. With big units like monsters you can usually move through infantry if you spam click the move order so stay moving if you can to get that charge bonus.
If you're using a lot of gors then I recommend using a shaman with the lore of Beasts as it excels in buffing low-tier infantry. Your archers aren't going to win any battles but they are invisible until the enemy gets close to them so they are good for ambushing the back line.
Also, make sure you are buffing the units you are using! This is mainly done through lord skills.
>>
>>497617920
>>497618010
Going to screenshot all this, but thanks a lot for all the help. I've had W3 for quite awhile, but never got around to playing till the other day.
>>
>>497617882
Obviously, taurox buff minotaurs by giving them regeneration, just focus to get the shield variant for better survivability.
>>
>>497617882
Yes. Minotaurs are really good in any Beastmen army but Taurox makes them even better. In the early game you'll have to embed your scant few minos within other units in your frontline to increase their survivability but eventually you'll be able to field all minotaurs and roll people over

Lotr would make sense even if they have similar general gameplay, the IP would carry and make CA good money. LOTR crowd wants a good strategy game or action adventure that doesn't suck, IP getting wasted on stuff like Gollum and that Moria survival game.

Remember when TW had actually great OST?
Shogun, Medieval and Rome all had amazing tracks. What the fuck happened with Emperor and later titles? It's all so generic and low energy now. Though i did enjoy a few songs from 3K, even though the music was mostly drowned out by everything else.

Shogun 2 had decent but ultimately very generic "le samurai japan" ost. Still one of the better modern title osts.
I confess i've never really tried Attila due it peforming like shit on my computer back then, nor have i ever tried Troy or Pharao.
Post some good tracks from these games so i can stand corrected.
I mean, look at this soul. Now victory screens are just generic trash

Frankly i think Warhammer has the absolute weakest OST. It's not that the tracks are bad, they just melt into the background too much to be noticable.

I don't think artilery fits for Beastmen strategy they are an aggressive rush faction.
If you really want Skaven units get doomwheels, doom flayers, mutant rat ogres or hellpit abominations imo
But if you really want arty, even though it's a bad pick, get mortars they are more mobile than catapults
>>
>>497626217
We can agree to disagree on Attila's, I think the heavy drums in Attila's OST really get you pumped for how many battles you're going to be winning by the skin of your teeth. Pharaoh's is really good, though, I recommend you check out the full one sometime. The main theme Field of Reeds is especially good too.

>>497626551
Fair point, one thing is to listening to it now, but it's the evocative emotion the track should make in game while actually fighting that matters, and i can actually imagine that track to really do its job.

I mean, they're there just as much as those other two you mentioned. Those movies made a decent impact on people in the early 2000s, just like how many, and honestly most, Trekkies are fixated on OG, NG, and Voyager/DS9 getting more and more appreciation as time goes on. That's at least the good thing from all the modern reboots and retellings, it's forcing people to go back and rewatch the older bits and even reading the extended universe books.

Not gonna happen. Pharaoh will most definitely be the last history title. Fantasy and Scifi is taking over completely now. Kind of disappointing but CA is chasing the casual masses now.
The casuals are easier impressed by fire breathing dragons or scifi battles with lazors.
I'm kind of impressed by using slingshots right or having an entire regiment use their javelins at the right time. Or some subtle details. Like sending a Monk to disrupt the poorly defended areas of an enemy clan and cause dissent maybe even rebellions. I think a lot of it also has to do with Imagination. That one monk that rallies these people, imagining how he holds speeches and defeats enemy lords and governors with good arguments.
But obviously that is not as epic and enormous for the average casual to care. So he just sees an old man wandering from city to city, waving his hands and staff around. Then there pops up an army out of nowhere that besieges one of those cities.

Didn't say that was the main reason, just saying that ROP didn't kill LOTR and most people that like LOTR disliked it. Tolkien is always relevant, fantasy authors are still influenced by him to this day and look at planty LOTR fan pages active online, lorefag youtubers etc.
In terms of why ROP sucks:
Season 1 critique - didn't watch 2:
The writing sucked balls. The pacing was absolute garbage. You'd sit there for whole stretches of the season just bored out of your mind, like nothing was happening. The characters kept contradicting themselves like the writers forgot what they even said a few episodes back. It was like they couldn't decide what to focus on too many storylines at once, with all these fake dramatic moments they tried to force, but at the same time they barely did anything with most of it. You had these midseason episodes where nothing happened and they dragged on forever, could’ve been cut in half, easy. Then they crammed all the important stuff like Sauron and the elves making the rings into the last episode, which was rushed as hell.
And this is all looking at the show standalone if it didn't pretend to be LOTR all those things still stand.

Also this is this isn't /tv/ , so I'll stop offtopic posting after this reply. Janny spare our souls.

It's good, it's tuned to make melee more viable and magic is nowhere near as strong. You lose the chaos endgame crisis but get a variety to pick from (rats, vamps, kangz, greenskins, etc). Much bigger map. Most of my big complaints about WH3 also applied to WH1 and 2 anyway. War coordination and allied recruitment is neat. The only races that got really fucked in the jump to game 3 was Vampire Coast imo. Vampire Counts just play different, less skeleton spears and WoDspam, more variety and re-spawning your killed units/heroes/lords which on one hand is less challenging but it's less tedious.

Weird opinion. The taurus are cool exactly cause of their bat wings. They're uncanny, like the Hobgoblins speaking in broken Dwarfish. What would actually have made the Chorfs cooler would be if the great taurus mount weren't just a recolored bale taurus mount and if the lammasu mount didn't suck so much (a supposed upgrade on the great taurus mount with 1400 less health and with 1 worthwhile bound spell and with like 6 more MA/MD but also less AP).
>>
>>497662490
I like Lammasu having wings because that actually is an uncanny monster. But the bulls don't bring that bulldozing energy with wings, wings just signal hit and run type unit. I want them to smash through things like a gorebeast chariot which obviously a flying unit can't do without being busted.
>>
>>497661772
Regular taurus should have been a grounded mount
Bale taurus having wings is fine I guess

>>497662906
Great taurus have 28 MD and 50 armor off the bat, they're very fragile. You have to upgrade them with melee regen, barrier/+15 armor, and the red skill line + the graves of dragons landmark (20% phys res) to make them actually good.

Iirc they got their entire roster in 2 so I'm not sure what else we could get. I was hoping for Tullaris as a LL and Urian Poisonblade as a legendary hero. An avatar of khaine would be nice but I don't know how likely that is.

Inspired by my hatred for all things ch*rf. I thought:
>What is the most anti-ch*rf faction I can think off?
While the first thought was "greenskins" I thought "no that would be too easy." I need a true champion of the anti-industrial revolution. Someone to be so stupid, so primative, that a victory against the ch*rfs would would humilate them so badly and give me peace. I need to do more than kill ch*rfs. I need to shit on them and rape them.

And there's only one race that can do that...

I don't remember if it was in WH2 or 3 but legend used to do some shit where flying units would charge as they dove in for a attack and if you canceled the attack the right time they'd swoop in with the enemies getting hit by their charge but the flying unit would take little to no damage. So he'd used that to basically solo melee armies with large flying units and the AI couldn't do anything about it. I wouldn't be surprised if CA removed or nerfed that in 3 so it wouldn't be possible anymore after legend abused it so much. Wouldn't be the first time they nerfed some shit only an autist like him would abuse

I'm a few hundred hours in and just starting to become medium-proficient at the game and here's the pattern I've noticed the last 2 or 3 runs

>Early game expand quickly, every army taking a town every second turn, until about turn 40.
>Just enough time to get some T4 cities and 3 or 4 mid-late game doomstacks of my own. Mostly T3/4 units.
>Turn 40 The world's number 1 & 2 factions, who border me, declare war on me
>By turn 45 their 7 or 8 doomstacks have taken or razed 80% of my regions
>Instead of spending the time and energy it would take to defend/retake those towns I instead give up on civilisation and just use my doomstacks as pseudo Hordes to Raze the rest of the towns I need for Long Victory

Is this what the game is now or am I doing something wrong

You don't need more.
>>Turn 40 The world's number 1 & 2 factions, who border me, declare war on me
Depends on what faction you're playing, some have nothing but shitters near them until they reach the WH1 areas or Naggaroth.
>>By turn 45 their 7 or 8 doomstacks have taken or razed 80% of my regions
Skill issue, save your RoRs for emergency armies to defend valuable cities and build more walls in border settlements.

go to options, do the following

then in battles you manually turn on guard for archers and artillery, and turn on skirmish for skirmishers, ie mounted archers made to harass the enemy
click the waaagh button THEN dedicate it to a god to actually start your waaagh
always have an enemy, the AI doesn't like when you get complacent and might make your best bro turn on you

It would be nice if there was more of a family tree aspect, not in the traditional TW sense but "my clan and your clan are both descended from blah blah blah, and you are a current/historical vassal of this clan, and if you do X then I will give you Y fief". Not a comprehensive history, but you can cite various things in order to coerce another clan into doing what you want.

He's good, but no, there are better LLs than him. I'd say Gelt is probably second from highest tier.

But as you can see here next turn not a single one actually goes. Two of them high tail and run away from the threat they are not supposed to be able to see. The other two go into encamp stance.

Wood Elves, you only care about forests and your whole mechanic is defending them. The basic gameplay loop is arrive at forest, secure it, hold it until it heals.
A lot of people play them as some dumb hit-and-run guerilla warfare faction but you can just play them high elf style, with a staunch line of spears/trees backed up by a ton of archers.
>>
>>497739516
Welves really are the best, you can play them however you want. Great stag knight cavspam, pile of violence with dryads and treekin or bladesingers, spearmanii, dragonstacks, etc.

Orion is the best imo since you start off as Athel Loren Defense Force until you've smashed the local threats then around turn 60 you become the world police hopping around obliterating whomever you choose across the globe.

Campaigns are not meant to be longer than 40 turns. Total War does not respect the time of the player and needs to be revamped entirely, growth is a shit mechanic that artificially slows you down.

Played turn 1 with Orion and it just wasn't worth the epic loading times and motion blur that my monitor gets with this game. It's just gotta be a super cool faction like the Chorfs of VCounts to make running this game worth it. Also, I kinda hate Elves, especially the good ones.

You're just a sourpuss who doesn't care about Warhammer/history. I never got tired of Archaeon's campaign even 200 turns in. Zhatan the Braj dom victory was cool too (190 turns) though there were slow spots. Why? Because I love everything about those factions.

Oxyotl can build a -20% upkeep building with his unique silent sanctums that stacks around settlements. Meaning a free armies if it's a region with 4 adjacent regions and stackable post-battle loot means eventually infinite money for all fights.

First game factions
>Space Marines
I imagine every game will have a space marine release, fleshing out more and more iconic chapters. This isn't like fantasy where you can sell each game independent, a 40k game NEEDS space marines to be commercially viable.
>Imperial Guard
Likely playable at launch, but small chance they will be an NPC race that gets FLC playable a little bit down the line.
>Orks
Too iconic, probably the second most represented 40k army in vidya.
>Necrons
Have been pretty popular ever since their big expansion in 9th edition and have been popular in recent vidya with showings in Mechanicus, Battlefleet Gothic and soon Space Marine 2
>Chaos Space Marines
Probably a day one DLC like they were in fantasy

Faction mechanics depend too much on the scale of the game. Is it a fight for one planet, system, sector, or the whole galaxy?

40k has many popular factions. Starter factions really could be anything, as well as GW might force them to include specific factions to promote their minis. Factions I can see for the first game are: Space Marines, Imperial Guard and Orks. Judging how CA made chaos factions in fantasy, I'm guessing it would be fair to assume there would be several chaos factions, like Chaos Space Marines, Traitor Guards and Daemons. Tyranids would be probably an endgame threat, might be pre-order faction.

>NOOOOOOOO ONLY 4 factions playabe campaign! 5 for 20 bucks! All campaigns need some time limit for reasons!
I'm still mad about it.

The reality most people don't want to accept is that ships can't just be sidelined like they were in fantasy. All war in 40k features a spaceship of some form whether that's a invading hive fleet on a planet or a ship lost in the warp. The galaxy is a big place and you can't walk everywhere. Space fighting is essential

BUT ALSO
Land combat. Ideally I would like a two planed system where you have ships fighting in a planets atmosphere, but you can zoom in on the world to look at troops on the ground. You need to win both fronts. Lose your ships and you can get bombed or besieged, lose your ground troops and you can't access whatever it was you're fighting for ex. AA guns, artifacts, requisition etc.

I'm thinking a videogame form of dropzone/dropfleet commander if you guys know the /tg/ reference.
FUCK your "single world nobody cares about" I want to blow up maccrage and shit on fenris.

Okay but if you're using allies you're playing to the strength of the allies faction to enhance your weaker aspects, so it's way less relevant
Like getting a poisoned wind mortar unit on beastmen obviously adds a lot more versatility to the army, and is probably better than a unit of ungor raiders in the vast majority of cases. For high elves a good use of allied recruitment is better artillery - a chorf artillery piece of the same tier is better than a repeater bolt thrower. You obviously shouldn't try to match your own strengths - allied monsters or archers are almost always a waste on High Elves.

Champions with Trolls intermixed, Horsemasters for harass/clean up after battle. Feral Mammoths are too unpredictable and can run off to die deceptively fast.

in mp you have army cost limits, no campaign buffs, and usually no veterancy. in sp you don't really give a shit about recruitment cost and can stack so many buffs on units that underperforming units become murder machines.

>>497797427
it's mostly just an issue of value. sp players don't even care about damage as gold value. in mp is a unit costs 1800 but only averages 1200 value it sucks,.
>>
>>497798030
that's fucking retarded, can you get your god turin to tell ca to stop balancing the entire game around your mode and separate the balancing into sp and mp? thanks.
>>
>>497798030
>sp players don't even care about damage as gold value.
That's stupid, units being good or bad in SP is very much decided on whether they can pay for themselves in damage, or if not then whether they can protect the damage dealers. Nobody goes and makes an army of 20 jade warriors with shields and nothing to support them.
>>
>>497798210
>stop balancing the entire game around your mode and separate the balancing into sp and mp?
mp-fags only care about recruitment cost and sp-chads only care about upkeep so in a way the devs could achieve some of that balance separation.
>>
>>497798210
Upkeep and having multiple armies following each other.
>>
>>497798030
So just reduce their MP cost

CA won't balance MP and SP differently because it might make people that are only playing one of the modes less likely to try out the other

it doesn't matter if none of your units pay for themselves when your army costs 100k and you are fighting stacks only worth 15k. sp is all about making unfair fights on the campaign map so you can easily win on the battle map.

Hmmm, this would be interesting. I like the harem building idea, and I think I know how to do it. The hardest part would probably be changing his victory conditions, I've never startpos modded before and I think I'd have to.
A couple questions:
Isn't the appeal of Sigvald that you can already harem build through his seduction mechanic ie. mindbreak Katarin/Miao/etc and bring their whole country with them? Why do you prefer this method?
Why Sigvald specifically?
Is the green meant to be a Rance reference?

>>
>>497823256
I was recently thinking about that exact mechanic. I was using unlocker to play the jagged horn tribe in Cathay (ra roos) with a doombull leader going around cathay, and I was thinking of using that mechanic (there's a template on the workshop) to make a unique waifu-collecting beastman campaign (they currently all feel exactly the same). We're both on the same non-con wavelength.
I think it would be hard to do for all LLs though. Just going and fucking them up to unlock them is much easier for how many there are.
I like the idea. I think what I'll do is make a Sigvald Rance skin, as I need to get some practice with texture editing and the asset editor and this is a great excuse, I love Rance. Then I'm going to make the collect-a-waifu mechanic for another faction, as I want to cover new ground. I'll probably do Grimgor or Queek. From there it should be super easy to port it to Sigvald, like find-and-replace easy.
