>>499316851I don't get what's amusing about this? You autistically wait for the end of every thread to post the exact same image obsessing over raging against a fictional Bretonnnian over and over.Where's the punchline?
Disgusting creatures that live in filth, have no redeeming qualities and are rightly hated by everyone. But enough about the Skaven fanbase.
>>499317131He is the punchline.
>>499317131His life is the punchline.

I like Warhammer, but damn it has brought over so many schizos to the general.
why is soihammer africa full of mexican names instead of ngubu names?
>>499316851I thought you made a new image for threads, why didn't you post this there if you're the same anon>>499291028

When did they change Outriders(Grenade Launcher)? I remember them being shit in like TWW1 and so never bothered with them again. I just tried the amethyst version of them, and these fucking things deal 50% to a unit in 1 volley. And they auto resolve like fucking crazy.
>>499317684If it weren't for Warhammer /twg/ would just sink under the endless deluge of gachaslop filling up the /vg/ catalog now.

When the fuck is the news
I find it hard to start a new campaign out of fear that I'll never complete it, either through update or losing snowball
>>499330856>>499331265I'm playing it as Elspeth because of the narrative campaign thing, and AFAIK she doesn't have to engage with the portals thing that everyone seems to hate. And it's kind of nice to have so much shorter end turn times due to not having four other continents I'll never interact with.
I also play ROC when I want to play Greasus, he's 10x better there.
>Malakai>going after Astroturf>that skaven clan is also at war with him>they reinforce me against himAnyway time for some friendly fire
I SHALL BUILD A NEW EMPIREWITH COCAINE AND SNAKE CHARMERS
I like that the dwarf dlc didn't add shard dragons because even though thats a cool unit, its funny that the dwarfs are still the most racist race and don't include even animals into their army.
>>499339037What armies you rockin? Also, nice to see a campaign where the darklands havent been turned into Grimgors fuckhouse.
>>499339997Uhhh, mostly Ushabti and Scorpions, though I've got some with the Rakaph Dynasty Sepulchral Stalkers. Not actually that long into the game, currently debating on fighting Ungrim but that just doesn't sound fun... On the other hand I could go and fight the chinese which is always fun but they have a bunch of anti-large...on the other-other hand, I could go fight the chaos wastes, but that sucks for environment... Hmmmm...Either way, I'll have to kill Ghorst and Dragon fucker elf to the south.
As chorfs should I be fielding fireglaives or blunderbuss?
>>499342287fireglaives for sniping big things, blunderbussies for cutting through infantry
>>499339997Ever since Tamur rolled up I haven't seen Grimgor doing as wellin fact most of the time he doesn't really touch the wastes, it all ends up Dwarfs unfortunately
>>499342287fucking both, 2 units of both can kill a gorrillion units and have enough ehp to get smacked at close range before whatever they're shooting breaks
>>499330913Snotling2 is from Warhammer Age of Reckoning, the MMO, as far as I know
>>499343225Yes he's part of the Greenskin Tutorial.He leads you into an ambush
>>499342287In most cases where you have access to rifle/standard ranged infantry and shotgun infantry, you want both because they do different things at different parts of your line.Coast for another example killy frontage or flank pivots. Chyna cranes and shotguns. Skaven don't really use warpfire the same way but ratlings have an exaggerated engagement range and volume of fire comparable to shotgun roles as a damper with the added bonus of suppress
>>499342981Same. Though I do get the odd occasion where Kholek and/or Vilitch get their shit together and have advanced into the mountains and parts of the Darklands.
>>499336748Realms of chaos is fine on Chorfs too
>>499328560We need a wegh mod. Legendary hero recruitable by all greenskin LLs (and Aranessa)
>>499344995>terrible combat stats>but great morale boosting abilities>all of his unique skills are called WEGHKino. Book it CA
>>499316741MUSLIM ARCHERS
>>499339997Well, considering I don't have access to zombies and crypt ghouls and such, here's Arkhan's army (Recruit defeated lords, I had a higher rep than Settra when he was destroyed by a combined effort of settra and french)
>>499345718Oh... I'm at turn 91... huh how'd it get this late lol?Ironically most of my LL's army is actually weak, he's just got his Warsphinx and Necrosphinx with his personal warsphinx.Arkhan is up fighting chaos to earn his right to return to Nekahara. (I forgor why he's fighting chaos lol, he's not got resistance to attrition or anything. Plus none of his army is anti-large)
I honestly don't believe this to be a loss.That's a fucking garrison and I slaughtered her army
>>499316851Impressive work continuously triggering pussies with a single image and making them seethe at valid threads.
>ratnigger is samefagging again
>>499316741Why is Pharaoh still in the OP? Development ended a while ago, and nobody plays it anymore. There are far more deserving games to put up there.
RAPE
>>499354739schizo-kun...
Bitch you aint Rasputan?
Hi guys is Pharaoh good. I'm just a simple Attila lover looking for a new historical to play.
>>499349061>TK>still just gigastack the same few thingssoulless. shudder to imagine how your other factions are played out, considering that TK armies are typically naturally varied.
>>499358040It certainly has more players than the $100m smash hit hyenas.
>>499358641I'm still so bummed that Hyenas mever got to release
>>499358339I mean, It was either that or I do spears+archers with the occasional construct?I can play 2 ways, either rush with melee (usually SEMs or Low entity squads, but all Khorne units work for this) or ranged spam with melee to hold.
>>499358641I mean I just want to know what you guys think of Pharaoh. I really disliked Warhammer so a lot of the design choices and mechanics in them aren't my thing (especially hero units, which suck ass). Considering the gap between Attila and Pharaoh is a decade I don't quite know how the systems for the game are.
>>499359137Watch a youtube video of somebody playing it. /twg/ literally has CA sponsored pharaoh shills.
ded gaem
Well shit... there goes my alliance with Settra and Khalida...Right when I was at war with Thorek (who ATE THE SOUTHLANDS BY THE WAY)
how is the old world mod?
News week!
>>499362992Fucking great. It's goddamn gigantic.
>>499362992Tomb kings have a fucking amazing campaign, The empire is just as amazing as ever. The darklands... it's honestly got about triple the settlements, but its like 10x the size. Fucking Pigsbarter is a campaign in of itself lol.
>>499359887And now I'm bored of the campaign, god I forgot how much I hate fighting tomb kings.
>>499363606>>499363759so the AI factions aren't affected in a negative way by the new and massive map?I remember the expanded Shogun 2 provinces mod messing with the AI armies not being able to navigate the map properly
>>499366369It was an issue before, during early days, but not anymore. It's quite clear now. But I don't remember hearing how they fixed it.
>>499366369Some have issues, most don't "overexpand" too much.Vlad will usually only ever take Sylvania and Averland areas for example, but everyone else I've not noticed having issues.
>>499366689>>499366694alright thanks I'm more interested in it now, will download
the rats ambush me, this is the result, and they give me a pyrrhic victory? utter bullshit
>>499368026Is it fun playing on easy/easy
>>499368026morghur is a small entity with a mortis engine, regen and 75% missile resisthe's like built to counter skaven
>>499368126hard/very hard. early beastmen buttfuck skaven
>>499358339There's a lot of cool variety in artillery for TK Going bows, casket, bone giant feels like you got a Swiss Army knife solution
First time playing Queek, seems like I can't just take Karak Eight Peaks with 2 slaves stacks. This is unplayable.
>>499371494>slave stacksWhy?
>>499371596It's turn 7.
>>499371767Still, why?
12 mins for 5.3pleaseI installed back the game for this shitPls let me down CA
>>499373265*DON't let me down FUCK
>>499373343It's Louver (Louen Leoncoeur over)
>>499373265Wouldn't they reveal news the day or two before its release?
Wonder if we'll get a patch today or Thursday...or this week at all. The anticipation kinda makes me not want to play, and then until the mods are up to date I won't play anyway. Life is hard, man.
>>499373457>>499373921Yeah i give up.Fuck CA. Dead game, dead general.
>>499374039They said end of October.Next week is still October.
>>499359137It's pretty good but really only if you like the period because it's obviously missing later technological advancements like siege engines and such. I personally think the mechanical depth makes up for it but YMMV. Ignore the other faggot, he's obsessed with hating Pharaoh for some reason and his undiagnosed schizophrenia causes him to see shills everywhere.
DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A CHURL?!!??
>>499374356Whoops, meant artillery. It has siege engines.
>>499374254Did they? I wasn't aware, or more likely I forgot. Nevermind, then.
Wait do patches make older saves incompatible fuck
>>499375354Not usually, no.Unless you doping up on cheatz
>>499375428just some average honest druchii titty mods
There's no reason to play anything but Ikit as Skaven.
There's no reason to play anything but Rome in Rome 2.
>>499376820pestilens is fun and not gay like skryrein general if you use anything except globadiers you're a pussy and would get broken by the pestilent tide
>>499376820ThrotSnikch
>2024 almost over and still no hygenic rat LL
>>4993775732025, friend!
>>499376820Faction-wide Frenzy for basic rats and improved basic rats is pretty fun
>>499377573what about the Thanquol rat that guy's been posting for like 5 years, is he hygienic
>>499377885Which one is that?
>>499359137My problem with it is the Chariots, which are supposed to be THE unit in the bronze age.They suck in Pharoh, on the highest unit scale they have 40 chariots, and they crash into eachother when trying to charge. The missle chariots can kite, but its 40 models compared to 120 or 160 on missle infantry, and slingers will outrange them, so they're only good against melee heavy armies. If the chariots were hood I would reccomend it, but since they are random on how good they are (they can be devastating if they actually get a good charge), the game is mostly an infantry vs. infantry game where the entire battle is dependant on positioning your forces.
>>499378293Queek gets it just for taking back Eight Peaks
>>499378293Queer.>>499377107Based. I allowed myself to use some globadiers in my very recent Headgiver campaign. Absolutely zero weapon teams, even warpthrowers and grinders. I so wanted to use to use mortars just for the range, but, stuck with the short range. I'm thinking next campaign (whenever that is) I'll allow myself a few monsters, and no ranged/weapons what-so-ever. Likewise with the heroes, I only allow myself chieften and maybe packmaster if I try this small-monster campaign next. No others (goodbye WoM entirely).>>499378701>chariots suckHistorically accurate at least.
>>499378701I have never had heavy chariots be anything other than lawnmowers in Pharaoh, how the fuck are you using them so badly they never kill anything?
>>499377573Queek
>>499378895They are inneficcient for their cost and bronze upkeep, I would rather have another cheap slinger unit than a piece of shit I have to carefully position for a charge against an isolated unit, that is doing NOTHING until I can get it to safely charge, because they can't escape infantry blobs and a few volleys shred their hp.
>>499379437Once again, never had that issue. Especially chariots not being good at chasing down ranged, by default they're set to skirmish mode for the AI so AI ranged units will start running if you're anywhere near them and a chariot charge can melt ranged units in seconds.
there's literally no reason at all to pick Reikland when you can just play as Wissenland, it's sad but it's what it is, the Nuln college upgrades are too fucking good to pass on, I wish they weren't faction exclusive
>>499381171I want to play as the protagonist, not some wench.
>>499381256You can conquer him easily before turn 20, use "recruit defeated lords" mod and use him instead.
>>499381376You'd make him your bitch, that's not the same.
Consider elves
Why are chaos factions so much more fun to play then order?
>>499381557Elspeth is a natural dominatrix
>>499381171The upgraded machinations are real nice
>>499381171The Electoral Machinations are much more useful late game when it comes to factionwide mechanics.
Could Elspeth and Gelt together beat Teclis
>>499382025no he would shadow realm their asses with his magic.
>>499382025Just to add to my previous comment. Gelt is good but he is not the best and only good in lore of metal. Teclis would woop his ass so hard.
>>499381621Really? Greenskins are the only ones I can stomach from chaos
All you have to do is give Teclis a wedgie.The cripled nerd can't do anything.
>>499381684I wish she didn't have that dumb NET on her head.
>>499381584As Sexual partners ? Yes.
>>499382503>greenskins>chaoswot
>>499382914Shit fucking taste and probably a hair fetishist. Late medieval hair coverings like barbettes are kino.
>>499383139>kinoUnderaged, got it.
>>499382987Calm down bucky.
>>499383232Only an underage would find medieval fashion to be unsavory in a medieval inspired game you faggot.
>>499381684what does her hair actually look like?
>>499383497Flat, oily, and unhealthy, being under that shit seemingly 24/7.
>>499383497she is a bald queen
>>499363606>>499363759NAYRT but I'm thinking about playing it myself, the huge map is actually a matter of concern though. Wouldn't it take like 5 minutes every time you hit End Turn?
>>499382320I think the skill gap is narrower than any elf would like to admit.Volan spooked Teclis, that's why he established the Colleges of Magic in the first place.
>>499383497Dark brown/black based on Thrones of Chaos but it's kind of hard to tell because she's also wearing headwear in that artwork.
>>499383497Like this.
>>499384320My gothwife...
with all the lords and heroes being so broken death magic is pretty good right now with spirit leech
Totalwarhammer>>>>>>Totalwar subreddit and it's not even close...
>>499383662maybe, but that doesn't matter for Gelt. We know nothing of his past all we know is that he is really good in lore of metal and that's it. Teclis would stomp his ass and it's not even close.
Hear my vow stalwart and pure, fellow anons - if there's no news today, I shall call it TCA.
>>499385518Don't updates come live on thusrdays or am I wrong? We will see when 5 o'clock comes around. If no news by then we can forget about an update this week.
>>499384871Was it ever bad?
>>499385221That's nice honey, why don't you stay there?
>>499385847NTA but I remember in WH2 the AI would stick their lords/heroes in your melee units and call it a day so they weren't too much of a threat unless they could completely collapse your front line
6 more mins for nothing.
It's over.
Again.
>>499381584Which flavor of elves makes the best waifus?
TCA. Maybe tomorrow or Thursday tho.
>>499387749Canonically, Druchii Dreadlords.Fuck you Malus.
>>499385847it was mid, now it is top tier
This is an Empire moblie news week. Hotfix is also missing, might come later this week or next week, or maybe they will try to roll out a big patch next week.
>>499383252Shut-up! Sigvald too is an she-elf enjoyer (annihilator even).
>>499381621They're more war-focused so playing and winning feels more ludo. As Empire or Dawi you're just leading one aspect of your society in defense of the rest of your nation, there's stories and conflict inside your cities that you're not a part of, while playing, say, Khorne, your "cities" are just training grounds for the ultimate goal - winning battles which is the realm of the player's actions.
>>499381621By and large they're not. They're all some variation of mauradermanii -> chosenmanii.
>>499389198>By and large they're not. Wrong.>They're all some variation of mauradermanii -> chosenmanii.Based.
>>499378701It's a shame, chariots are the closest thing to a fun unit in Pharaoh but just a few enemy garrison units of slingers can annihilate them. Lethality is a fun mechanic and turning it off feels lame but it really stinks. I had it happen where one volley took out at least 3 chariots, it's unlikely but it does happen. The annoyance with missile chariots is that they won't fire with a melee order so they can't shoot while chasing a unit, which is realistic I guess, but inefficient compared to warhammer, so you either have to issue a ton of movement orders or babysit them.
>>499389297Yeah, it's based if you want to do an Archaon run, it's not based for any other chaos faction because they're just recolored Archaon with less shit LMAO
>>499389962imagine being this bad (I can't)
>>499390008I'm bad at finding boring recolored factions fun, yeah.
>news in half-an-hour
>>499390257Shut up.
>>499390257Sex with elf
12 minutes to go!
8 minutes, hold strong!

>>4993925304 minutes!

HOLY SHIT A NEWS JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
>>499389962CoCs are fun if you use one of the cheats to give you heralds, heroes, cultists etc otherwise there's too much incentive to just spam chaos lords on dragons and heroes on manticores.
News tomorrow for sure..
Been recently replaying TW3 after a 6 or so month break (missed patches 5.1 and 5.2 basically). I've played through 5 campaigns since (typically long victory then go next) and I've noticed once or twice in every campaign I'm finding myself at war with somebody that I did not declare war on and I did not receive the "This faction has declared war on you!" screen that's obvious. It'll be a near-neighbour that I'm suddenly at war with. I'm not new to these games, I've ~1k hours in TW3 alone, I'm aware this isn't due to defensive or military allies. And it isn't some weird Tzeentch shit, either (IIRC they can force wars or so? Been a while since I played Kairos); Is this some new bug? Never had it before the break I had.
>"This time I will totally play a faction that I never play">I end playing the same againWhy am I like this
>>499393826It means an AI asked another AI to join their war with you, it's always done that where you won't see it except at your beginning of turn notifications and in the diplomacy screen.
>>499394593Even if those two factions are not friendly at all? Every time they're both random (e.g. not allied).
>>499394534For me it's trying to finish long campaigns as my favorite races, getting bored halfway through, update comes out, delete saves so I can play as my favorite races but with shiny new thing on the map
>>499393826What mods are you using. Show the dot of shame to us.
Unit caps mods > any other mod
>>499394982Pixel of pride, you mean.
>>499383784Brown hair is disgusting
How are these Huntsmen able to shoot far beyond their maximum range? They kept doing it the entire battle.
>>499397737They are being buffed by an unseen unit so their true stats aren't shown
>>499398401Strange. I checked the abilities of the LL (Markus) and the one hero he had attached, none changed range. I checked both throughout the battle.
>>499397612You're either a subhuman with black hair or a wannabe aryan from /pol/.
>>499398959Nope
>>499398920It's his passive abilities from his skill tree
>Put on a documentary>have a cup of tea>launch my skaven campaignYup, it's total war time
>>499400301based and comfy
>>499402703>playing total war>basedNo
>After a harsh and long campaign the night elves and their Vrykul allies managed to conquer the north>The high elf assassins managed to kill several scourge leaders, rendering most of the undead confused>With only Ner'zhul left the Quel'dorei besiege Icecrown where he resides>Shall Ner'zhul be slain, Kael'thas will claim the crown and study its tremendous powers in the great library of Quel'thalas>The rest of the Undead will be easily slain and Northend will fall under the control of the Quel'dorei with most of its valuable ores
>>499400301Oh yeah, it's End Turn night with the boys
The Quel'dorei charge into the halls of Icecrown
Am I doing something wrong by upgrading all my settlements in a province evenly? Like I upgrade the big one to 2, then the others to 2, then the big one to 3, then the others to 3, etc. But then when I get a tier 5 settlement the game's practically over. Should I be turning off build notifications and rushing the big one instead?
With Ner'zhuls defeat the undead scatter and the Scourge has been destroyed... only one Nemesis of the Quel'dorei remains. The dark Horde. Hiding deep in the badlands to the south beyond the dwarven Kingdom of Khaz Modan they were lucky for the Dwarfs to start a war with the Humans of Stormwind. This way they were able to bide their time deep in Blackrock Mountain.However that leaves the pitiful remnants of the dark horde between two of the three major powers of the Eastern Kingdoms. Kael'thas ponders if a military approach is really necessary or if his skilled Assassins couldn't just kill the leaders of the dark Horde swiftly and decisively.
>>499405690Depends entirely on your situation. The tier 5 settlements are there for those really good stat increasing special buildings. So they're more suited for building tall rather than wide. But if you can build wide that's definitely better since you can get much more money, much quicker.
>>499405690settlements themselves give growth so more higher tier settlements = faster growth to T4/5
>>499405690Depends on the race, desu. Some factions t4/5 stuff is good enough to warrant ignoring the minors for, but others benefit greatly from built up t3 settlements. I'd say if there's a t4/5 building that you really want for units or effects then that's the right call.
As the Horde in Kalimdor has been vanquished and the night elves having a bitter resentment towards arcane users it has been decided that Durotar in its entirety should be given to the night elves.Kael'thas doesn't wish to quarrel with the night elves of Kalimdor and has been always seeking a peaceful solution. Yet time and time again they betrayed their elven Brethren from the east.Theramore will be gifted to the Goblins, as the Ahn'Qiraj seem to pose a threat to everyone on Kalimdor, this should bolster their economy greatly and give them more of a fighting chance against the insect hordes.The high elves of Durotar that settled there shall be sent towards Northend instead, the armies and Agents shall aid Quel'thalas in defeating the dark Horde remnants.

Do Lords and Heroes chimping out in melee hurt your own troops? They get tossed around plenty but does that do damage?
Not gonna lie, I was disappointed to learn that Judaism, which Christianity is based on, is based on the ancient Canaanite religion. Interestingly, Carthaginian religion also stemmed from Canaanite religion, making it a cousin to both Judaism and Christianity
>>499412128You just learned this? The Romans always called the Carthaginians monsters because they sacrificed children to Moloch.
>>499412113No damage to friendlies and while they're knocked down they won't receive (or dish out) damage. Basically negligible, slightly helps the line hold but reduces damage output by like <5% for a few seconds each time.
>>499412128HASHUT HASHUT HASHUT
>>499412312I knew what Romans thought of Carthaginians, I just never knew that both Judaism/Christianity and Carthaginian religion are based on Canaanite religions.For Example Yahweh is literally name of some Jewish God of Warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh
>>499412886Uh, bro, the Old Testament literally mentions that the Jews warred on fellow Caananite tribes. You've read the Bible right?
>>499407574>>499409534That's literally how Elspeth look since her creation, nothing to do with with CA.
>>499412886Bear in mind that in the Bible it was never said that other gods didn't exist, merely that he said to "put no other god before me." I always imagine the Bronze Age to be Jehovah rocking out in heaven killing all the other gods until he became the strongest, then mellowed out and sent Jesus down to try to fix things.>>499413185This, too.

why do my unlocked groups of fast small units (think, dogs etc) always end up forming long retarded lines like pic related
>>499415085it is firmly late medieval/early modern HRE. the armor on the various knights makes it most obvious.
>>499415085Is Mostly Renaissance, but knights are reminiscent of Late Medieval.
>>499383658uironically it takes less than vanilla for me.
>>499415375>>499415421It's not like the Empire using old-fashioned armor would be out of character, specially with Middenheim up north because like "HELMETS ARE SORCERY".

>>499419232>Skarbrand the exile leads "exiles of khorne">Kairos the oracle leads "oracles of tzeentch">kugath the plague maker leads "poxmakers of nurgle"Wish they'd been a little more creative. N'kari kinda fits since they're all seducers, but most nurglites spread/count plagues not make them, and most tzeentch demons can't actually tell the future with the level of reliability to consider them an oracle. It just feels like a silly name. Sort of how Clan Rictus is just the "Tretch" faction instead of being wealthy and stormverminy, except with the name instead of faction mechanics.

Any advice for how to beat Nakai as Eshin in Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires?Eshin's campaign seems like kind of a nightmare scenario. It starts off okay, the Orc faction you're up against at the start is a pushover. But from that moment on you're basically at war with everyone around you. There's Cathai factions on three sides and they all hate you, and while you can kinda have a truce with the Blessed Dread in the east that's not going to last very long. It's even possible to get declared on by the Chaos and Chaos Dwarf factions in the north if you're especially unlucky. Still, Cathai's early units aren't hard to deal with and the other hostile factions aren't likely to be very aggressive right away as far as I can tell, so if you don't give them an opportunity the situation is tense but not unmanagable.But then, Nakai arrives on your doorstep and the fun stops. As far as I can tell Eshin has zero efficient ways to deal with Nakai's doomstack. He'll tear through basically infinite gutter runners, artillery barely tickles his heavy hitters, and there's no way to stop his giant monsters from wreaking merry havoc on whatever the fuck they please sicne you don't have the mass to slow them down. All of his units are way stronger than anything Eshin can reasonably field early on, and on top of that it's very likely that you'll have to deal with him while still fighting off one or two other factions.It's possible my approach is all wrong since I'm still a bit of a noob, but I don't see how to deal with this except maybe hoping that the Blessed Dread and whatever that vampirate faction down there is called will slow him down enough for you to get your high-end units online before he comes knocking.

>>499422000I think that's because the community is much more purist. The Warcraft community never really cared much about that stuff, so there Warcraft has tons of stuff 2D and 3D.>>499422656that's the classic one. there is classic and then there is retail. retail is lewder probably because more women play it.
>>499422143Yoru is just Asa but less pathetic and not as much of a bitch that is gonna die

>>499423315Just ignore the bit where she molested Denji using Asa's body, therefore violating both of them
>>499423328Both trannies and women. They dumbed down retail extremely hard. Its more of a fashion show than a game at this point. So women really like playing it too nowadays.

Turning off "control large army" is cheesing.
>>499442345Correct. Just watch a Legend video, try not to fall asleep, and write down everything he does. It's all cheesing.

>>499356275You know, other than pharaoh, troy, and wh3 (to a lesser degree because no dlc in 8 months), those numbers are quite respectable.Like, 1,200 looks low on that list, but 1,200 people playing empire is pretty legit for how old it is and obscure the genre is.I wonder why the nun-historical titles were such flops?
>>499356275>>499454014Pharaoh even post dynasties simply lacks variety, once you've map painted with one of the 4 major civs future playthroughs don't feel fresh at all, there's very low replayability and the setting is niche, stick those mechanics in med 2 world though and it'd shine
>>499454716Also in my games the same factions ended up dominating each time, I think the AI rng could use a tuneup
>>499454014Empire offers a unique experience. I can't really speak to Shogun 2 except for FOTS because it suffers the same issue as Pharaoh (worse even). But like >>499454716 said the bronze age suffers. I like it, but it suffers. It's why I wish they'd been able to do some kind of an Imperator Augustus style alternate campaign for 730. You get cavalry, lose mycenaeans but gain proto-hoplites, lose sea people but get scythians.Pharaoh is better than it was before dynasties, but CA really needs to be beaten into their heads that saga style zoomed in focus does not work 99% of the time. 3K worked because China demographic, sengoku jidai 'might' work again (Shogun 2 is doing well after all, and a Shogun 3 would fix issues it had before). But by the same token despite how popular hoplites are if they had a Total War: Peloponnese of the Peloponnesian War (Wrath of sparta but not shitty) it'd probably do poorly.Like >>499454716 Said Pharaoh with a different setting would do amazing. Had CA been able to redo it they should have just done Pharaoh: Dynasties as the initial release in ~2020, had a Trojan war DLC campaign like the old DLC ones for Attila, then an age of charlemagne for age of iron. have people get Mycenaeans, Egyptians, Assyrians all at once and there'd be excitement. Drip-drip-drip it and there's less.Bronze age would do better in a game like mountain blade really.
What should the starting factions of TW WH40k be? My choices:Imperial GuardSpace MarinesOrkzTyranids
>>499451765Of course it's long, it's the Chinese Game of Thrones.
>>499456428I think that Tyranids might be complicated enough animationwise that like they might save them for a dlc
>>499456245Shogun 2 has a super dedicated playerbase because it has that reputation of "best tw ever", weebs love it, fantasy haters love it, etc, some combination of that idk, also u can experience both ancient Japan and fots in it, even tho the 800 ad campaigns are rly mid, that's still variety
>>499456527I thought the same but I figured they would drop the Eldar together in the 2nd 40k game similar to fantasy... if not Tyranids... Chaos space marines?
>>499456428Swap nids for chaos and it's realistic
Not a 40k expert but I get the impression Tyrannids are just bugs that eat a lot and don't really have any characters, they aren't what I'd use as a first game faction.
>>499449529Like 95% of characters in RotTK, for all the hype they have as folk figures in China, die really pathetically(in the traditional sense of Western conventions where we want last stands and good ends). It's both part of the nature of Luo Guanzhong's writing(s), Chen Shou's Records biases, and the oral traditions both utilized as sources. Basically every character has an ambition, fails, and meets their end in a way that contrasts with their height as a way of telling tragedy. Pang Tong and Chen Gong are the best deaths, in my opinion.
>>499454716how exactly does pharaoh have no variety when compared to knightmanii vs muslimanii
>>499456717They have a couple "notable" ones but they're more like how Moby dick is a character
>>499456428I give it a non-zero chance that a 40k TW game doesn't get multiple installments.>Marines>Guard>Orkz>Eldar>Chaos Marines as preorder DLC>Marines vs Nids DLC>Eldar vs Deldar DLC>IG vs Tau DLC>Admech vs Squats DLC>Obligatory DLCs for each individual Chaos God vs some random faction
>>499456562I forgot about the multiplayer scene. That said I remember around release time nobody really liked rise of the samurai because it suffered the unit variety issue. Like pharaoh that becomes a case of a setting better used elsewhere (Ghosts of Tsushima).I imagine if they did Shogun3 (Which I hope they wait to do, we really need renaissance or medieval or vicky) they'd go harder on the meaningful unit variety. I am sure it's possible to some degree. Like I doubt Samurai up near Hokkaido looked the exact same as samurai in Osaka. >>499456827Pharaoh has a near total omission of a unit type (Cavalry), a total omission of a few unit types (Crossbows, siege weapons, gunpowder units). It's infantry centric which does lead to a greater variance among those units, but it's not quite as appreciable as in another period. Since you could just do the weight thing in Pharaoh in medieval (Alumgavars being more nimble than gothic foot knights).There's more variety than detractors will shitpost about, but there's also less variety than glass-half-full types will shill.
>>499456740Yeah Chen Gong death was what I'd call heroic by a western standard, I get that these chars are meant to teach the bad side of arrogance and greed, all 3 sworn brothers end up meeting pathetic deaths because of pure arrogance and hard headedness, it makes u wonder if it's played up to tell a moral or if those people rly were that retarded >>499456827Med 2 factions let you larp more, there's a shitton of Christian factions known to most all w their own heraldry history goals and all that, even tho it's not actually that varied it feels like there's a huge variety, and the map is huge too, med 2 with SS feels way bigger than Rome 2 to me, people just love the medieval era
>>499457091Every total war with enough material will have multiple installments at this point. Like for the medieval/renaissance fans (like me) there is no chance whatsoever of a one and done release. This isn't 2006. You're going to end up with early access even within a theatre. Like let's say it's the old classic Western Eurasia map. I think "Total war: Hundred years" would be a disaster, but I can also see a situation of Total war: Medieval that does the standard Western Eurasia map and has a lot of placeholder generic Catholic European that get enhanced later. So Italy is just generic until they do a city-states DLC, Egypt and other non-Turk states are Turk placeholders until an arab DLC.
>>499457091if fantasy was popular, 40k will probably be even bigger if CA can make it good and not fuck us in the ass without lube when it comes to pricing
>>499457094>>499457175also in Pharaoh you are completely surrounded by factions of your own culture, you need to play 100+ turns or even more before you can even consider facing Egyptians as Ageans or Mesopotamians as Egyptians, this is annoying even for me, let one the fact that most tw players only play short campaigns, you are never gonna fight another civ

>>499457094except the post i responded to mentioned replayablity due to a lack of cultures, which is the exact same issue most people have with medieval 2, more technological innovations are not. these criticisms are all bizarre to me and it sounds like people have no interest in periods besides med 2, which would be better if people would just admit outright. all of my criticisms of the game have to do with janky buginess that still hasn't been ironed out, nothing to do with cultural variation which easily equals medieval 2. just going off city variety it equals medieval 2's northern european, southern european and middle eastern generic cities in terms of culture and has some unique settlements on top of that.
bought the game recently bros and shared a few screens but my pc got too old and it was tedious to play, new PC today has it running on ultra and now works flawlessly. too bad my 45 turn greenskins campaign got lost but started a new one with grand cathay as the asian milf. just wanted to share.
>>499457887Yay!!!I actually built my first computer so thst I could play total war
>>499457752Yes Med 2 is carried by the fantasy of it and the larp a lot, what pop history buff doesn't wanna play as medieval France and crusade? Or do a 100 year war, or the rise of Russia, or the rise of the Ottomans, or the reconquista, or the northern crusades, all are sort of kinda possible to larp in med 2 and all are profound cool events to learn about that shaped our modern world, it rly doesn't matter who clubbed who during le bronze age collapse to most people, I'm saying med 2 setting with Pharaoh mechanics would easily be the best historic TW ever made
Historical games need to embrace alt history scenarios in order to flourish.>Rome 2 requires you to seize Roman/Greek/Persian ports as barbarians if you want to build large warshipsFUCK that. Give me the opportunity to make those barbarians into the most civilized people on the planet.Same with everything else. Scottish Great Bombards. French Elephant Knights. Byzantine Camelry. Put requirements on it, don't just open it up outright, but allow players to fight their way to scenarios that would be impossible without player intervention.
Maybe The Empire isn't for me, can't keep enemy cavalry and dogs and shit off my gunlines while my melee guys are tied up with the much greater numbers of melee guys the enemy brought.
>>499458112Agreed, in Pharaoh you are pushed into conforming to historical narratives w the sacred lands mechanic, and it disinsentivizes fighting other civs n rewards infighting, it makes it more boring, if I wanna play smth that's pre determined to end up the same every time to conform to real history I'd play paradox sloppa then complain on their forums about Le historical innacuracy, total war should be more chaotic
>>499457887milf?
>>499458054that's really where i disagree, most of pharaoh's mechanics honestly only work in the conceit of the late bronze age, where polytheistic pantheons are common, syncretism is widespread, and multiple resources and a heavy focus on trade and multiple resources recreates the late bronze age palace economies. for a medieval game i'd more expect a better version of ToB's feudal systems and a lot of inspiration from CK2 mechanics. really only the outpost system needs to be brought forward from pharaoh.
>>499458419I'm pretty sure medieval economies were most definitely trade ones, I like the resource system, it lets you use one resource for military matters and focus another to build stuff up, smth similar to that but not identical would be great, the outpost system is a huge one, but the diplomacy in general just makes sense, there's no magical trade agreements that auto spawn money, you trade for what u want when and if u want it, it just works
>>499456428>space marines as a factionhow about space marines as an oxyotl-style campaign
>>499458678the medieval period had an extremely decentralized trading system where the monarch largely didn't dictate or keep track of trade on the level of the bronze age. they also just outright had minted currency which the bronze age didn't. it's why troy and pharaoh have the resource system instead of a money system, there was no such as money by and large.
>>499457752Culturally? I mean I can spell out the variety of cultures therein, it's much more than just knightmanii. The problem of the bronze age beyond the lack of cavalry (Everybody likes them) is that we have much less material to go on with them. Like I'm the guy who wanted an 8th century mod, and do you know what I have to go on with Phrygia? These guys, a horseman terracotta, a chariot terracotta, maybe an unarmored light cavalry painting (I think it's Lydian rather than Phrygian but my pictures say Phrygian. That's it. I can maybe pilfer some ideas of Midas and his golden touch but otherwise there's dick all.Meanwhile I can find a stupidly dense assortment of material to work with for Medieval Spain. So when you say "Southern European" I can offer up how Spanish / North Italian / South Italian / Greek-Byzantine would all differ noticeably in their unit types and potential faction mechanics. They might share the same music (but so do Pharaoh cultures), they might share the same units (but so do Pharaoh cultures), share the same UI (ibid), same faith (Ibid). In Pharaoh's age distinguishing between cultural neighbors like Assyria and Babylonia is tough but doable, while distinguishing between people within a cultural block is 100% impossible at times - for example the Kaskians who killed the Hittites? We have zero and I mean zero material on them beyond Hittites saying "they grew linen and raised pigs".
>>499454014crazy how this thread swears up and down that empire is shit, yet it has more players than shogun 2 which was given away for free, atilla which this thread swears is good, and pharaoh which just came out.
>>499458940No, they should be their own faction like dawn of war, it just works
>>499459018and yet it has less than rome 2 and medieval 2 despite the empirefag in this thread constantly coping that cavalry games are boring when compared to gun games.
>>499458191let me guess you fell for the empire cavalry is bad memes
>>499459214cavalry is important in empire though?

Not quite a horde faction but also holding territory feels weird. I hate em so I don't know how their shit works if they could have a vampires style of sub-settlement.>Ravens, Salamanders, iron handsThey'll be lucky to get DLCAnd have some M2 style catholic guilt/pressure to not annex territory. IE if you seize territory you'll suffer diplo malus to not give it back to the original imperium sector factionConversely world eaters are a horde, maybe emperor's children are (looking for the pleasure palace), 1000 Sons + Death Guard are not. Word bearers are probably not, Black legion could go either way(?), night lords lucky if they get DLC.
>>499459295I haven't gotten any yet besides a couple pistoleers, still early in the campaign. Seems like the gun line playstyle gets hard countered by enemies who just drown you in bodies though like the goblins I'm fighting now.
>>499459571it's not heavy cavalry, no one gives a shit if you use them for picking off enemies. point is the hammer and anvil games are played more than empire
Pharaoh is good, dont know what you guys are talking about.
I kind of like how Gladius does space marines without making it feel like a space marine empire, where like only your capital can be built up, but you can build it up a lot taller than other factions and can use the like drop pods or whatever their called is how you get your units around the map far away instead, so it feels more like 1 central military base with smaller outpostsKind of like the dark fortresses actuallyHm

>>499412128>>499412312Reminder Moloch isn't actually a god but a ritual/method of child sacrifice where the child/baby is burnt alive. Like how the Carthaginians sacrificed to Baal Hammond. Holocaust is also a word for burnt sacrifical offering interestingly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjuWuNKBkRcI was really dissappointed in Pharaoh perpetrating historical inaccuracies like that and is why I didn't buy it. Also the 'Canaanites' and 'Judeans' are both not mentioned by Herodotus so their size and regional power was most likely vastly, vastly overestimated and both were just small irrelevant hilltribes as late as 420BC who merely combined other peoples history into their own to retcon their own history.Canaanites as described in the jewish creation myth is most likely a combination of several different cultural groups/enemies and we have no confirmation than the 'Canaanites' would have identiifed with that name, same deal as with the Illyrians.Tl;dr Jews lie about their history, their enemies and Moloch isnt a deity but a method of sacrifice.

>>499473867He is not unkillable and never was, the only thing that happens is that his under-cities survive so you have to destroy them to fully finish the faction, you will discover all undercities immediately once he has 0 armies around as long as you are the city owner.

Is there a reason for this? They could have just made Nekaph a generic legendary hero. Instead they gave Settra a not legendary hero who ISN'T Nekaph whilst explicitly stating he's just absent.

They need units like herrimaults to stalk/snipe/flank so that there is more to do than cycle charge. And make cavalry less jank too.

>>499509232I think it's Miao
Finally doing Tamurkhan campaign and holy shit Kayzk is buff. Also you guys weren't joking, Rot Knights are powerful. I did an Epidemius campaign a while back but only used demon units (and naturally, daemonless run in Tamur's campaign now).
>>499510019Mortals and cavalry get good buffs in the Nurgle tech tree so look out for them.And yeah, Kayzk and the Rot Knights are ridiculous.
>>499510327The first 3 battles (last being against Kholek, he bumrushed me) the Rot Knights did 25-26k dmg every battle, and this is even with them occasionally doing hound duties too. Kayzk stays full health the entire battle–I need to have him be more of a beatstick than Tamurkhan (who got very low vs Kholek). Love me Chaos. Speaking of which, did they remove or fix N'Kari's ridiculous cultist cheese at all? If I recall right, they reworked all Chaos Gods' cultist mechanics. Maybe I should just play him next and find out myself. And even if his cultists didn't get toned down I'll just handicap myself by extremely limiting my use of his insane campaign mechanics.
>>499509693how do you not get bored post turn 50 or so
>>499507690Why are their forums so bad?
>>499510673I didn't spend it all in one campaign.
>>499510673NTA but it's simple you not get good at the game and the game is still fun after turn 50. Also mods ofc.
>>499510673>NOOO YOU MUST'N'T USE ANY OF THE COOL UNITS, YOU GOTTA BE A T1 ARCHER-SPAMMING LEGENDSHITTER LIKE ME!!!
Morathi, my love...
It's an honest question. I would like to know why you think the game is cartoony and silly.Things are a bit silly aren't they? There's a cartoony feel to the game, but then you see the cav charge and units fly 20 feet like they're inflatable bags of air. Not even an attempt at suspension of disbelief. The comic relief has taken front stage rather than the backseat it was meant to have:-Are the Orcs meant to be dangerous and scary monsters, or are they meant to be clowns? -Cylostra is a literal obese opera singer. -Aranessa Saltspite has two peg legs!Did a child make this game?Is this not an insult to the community and our intelligence OR is it being marketed towards kids. Perhaps the cartoony and childish feel is a more feminine lean? A way to distance the franchise from the gritty grim dark that deals with disaster and morally grey and morally black issues, something that feminine types and kids don't want to deal with?I would like to know why you think the game is cartoony and silly.
>>499511065NTA but a perennial issue with the series is that by the time you GET the cool units the campaign is basically over, there's no tension left and all that remains is mop-up and map-paintingThey never really figured this part out
>>499511302>-Are the Orcs meant to be dangerous and scary monsters, or are they meant to be clowns? Both. Warhammer Orcs and Gobbos are stupid, but they are a cruel and deadly rampaging force.>-Cylostra is a literal obese opera singer. Don't see much wrong there, she is a ghost.>-Aranessa Saltspite has two peg legs!She was an outcast mutant that amputated her legs and learned to fight with prosthetics, it's kinda silly but pretty grim as well.
>>499511302It's a valid complaint but reposting shit you saw on other forums is pretty gay.
>>499511163Wanting to use the cool units is the exact reason I don't like it when the game becomes an army-spamfest retard.
>>499511390Didn't they fixed this with the latest patch if you play the game on VH\VH. AI will build better armies, have better economy, more cheats etc....
If no news today, then I will call it TCAL this time. You better provide, Creative Assembly. I don't care if it's 5.3 or DLC news, I want something.
>>499511617After 10 years! on 4chan you are the first person who chought me doing this hahahaha. I do this on other boards from time to time. Find something that is a bit controversial on other sites post it and watch anons melt. GG it was a fun ride! XD
>>499511801Today is Total War: Empire day.Tomorrow is what you are looking for.
>>499511390That's exactly what I mean. I blame global recruitment. If my main armies are fighting somewhere I'm not going to spend 20 turns bringing them back and recruit the higher tier units.
>>499512114>I blame global recruitment.I never use that. I use expendable generals as troop couriers to bring in fresh units (with capital-tier recruitment upgrades), disband the obsolete ones, and then remove the temporary generals from command.
>>499429514And they are absolutely irrelevant.
>>499511691They did, AI now is trying to build high tier buildings, get high tier units, get more armies and if possible, they try to have varied armies. People here love to parrot outdated stuff, it makes sense really, barely anyone here plays any TW game.

They're making black coach not worthless, huh? We'll see how that plays out.
>>499514387>Special thanks to CatholicAlcoholic
>>499514387Thank fucking god
>>499514387Most of the balance changes seem genuinely good, I'm glad CA didn't listen to that nigger Turin.
How the fuck does this garbage still not have dlss implemented atleast as a mod?The native TAA is so fucking horrible it's unreal
>>499515680Yeah I'm amazed. Was expecting typical mpnigger faggotry, but the changes are reasonable.Except maybe buffing tomb spider? That thing is already god tier because of animations, now it will have collision as well.
>>499514387Yay more spearmanii
>>499515859That would be so cool if they would implement it. If for nothing else gpu temps would go down. Right now my card always max's the temp and I have to manualy limit the temp in msi afterburner.

When is 5.3 then? Tomorrow or next week?
>four-settlement province>three but the capital has ten slotsWhich is better?
>>499516219Hopefully someone figures out how to do it, if nothing else it will massively improve the visuals.
>>499516317They said it will come in october, but there is 0 chance that it comes out tomorrow. Prolly next thursday.

>>499447014Why would you use that over the best defensive infantry in the game? Both of them job to chosen uars anyway.
>>499517436About half were me.
>>499517558>why would you use different units in a strategy gameSo I just spam Herculiani Seniores the rest of the game rather than make balanced armies like I did in the early game? Epic technology system CA.
If you don't play the game with a dozen random unit mods thrown in then you're not really playing the game.

Design notes? For a patch?We should have a fucking trailer by now
>>499519881>we want more frequent hotfixes and actual substantial updates in between DLC>nooooooo not like that kill yourself
>>499519992We want that AND dlcs to be on time
>>499520123Not how it works faggot, you add a couple months of devs having to do other stuff to the DLC schedule if you want significant interim patches
>>499516634>BountiesDisappointing. I was hoping for more of a fleshed out mercenary system, since the contracts always felt pointless beforeBummer they're doubling-down on those. But who knows, maybe it'll turn out more fun than before and will be great in-game, but definitely not super excited
>>499496780Apologize to me right now!
>>499520851Sowwy
>>499521000I accept your apology, ratfag
I thought Kislev and Bretonnia were supposed to be getting some updates here, as mentioned in the video?Am I going senile?
>>499521132They just said they're working on them
>>499521132Nope, they said they will get them, but never when. It could be 6.0, 6.1, or 7.2.
Are ogres good now?
>>499521473No, not until they have their OTHER core monster

Ok so where is the dlc?
Thoughts on 5.3?>first half of the ogre rework>first part of ancillary update>more tree fixes>grave guard halberds>heavy balancingIts ok.I’m surprised its ogres and not another faction. Figure the ogre stuff would all be at once with the dlc. Guess the brettonia update ain’t ready.Really wish they gave a date. Its already the last week of october. More so I was really hoping for a hint for the dlc timing.
If there's a lord with a trait I want who's going to get replaced in the recruitment pool soon, and I'm not ready to make a new army yet, will recruiting then immediately disbanding him add him to the recruitment pool permanently?
>>499523235Pretty good pre-DLC update, glad we have more options for Ogre mercenaries and I've been wanting Grave Guard Halberds for years now.
>>499523235I'm very happy about grave guard halberds....
>>499523805iirc yes, but if you want to be safe just save him
>>499523235Feels really strange dropping ogre changes now with the DLC on the horizon. The bounty rework is also quite boring, being essentially just having access to all three contracts at once. They're pretty much just random campaign side objectives all other factions already get anyways.
>>499523235Half-assed reworks and """"balance"""" for mpniggers. Unles it comes with big bug fixes, its trash.Fucking pieces of shits lied about Bretonnia rework.
>The way the mercenary system works for Ogres in WH3 as opposed to WH2 came with certain improvements, however also missed the mark in a number of ways and we saw a lot of feedback asking for certain aspects of how it worked in WH2 to returnThat's a fancy way of saying it was a complete downgrade.
>>499523235Pretty solid assuming this is just part 1 of the update that will come with DLC, Ogres should get more in terms of mechanic touch ups.
>>499524075reddit says CA has improved anon, we must graciously accept anything they give us.
Total War: Horus Heresy.
>>499524168Annoyingly I think the new 5.3 system will make you want to befriend ogres and keep them alive if you want their units although camps raid the territory they're in, so even with the changes I think it'll still be a bit lame. The only factions I see really benefitting would be dwarfs (cav), possibly chorfs (early game to supplement laborers) or nurgle. Hope they change camps not to raid and allow more factions to vassalize them.
>>499521862well thundertusks are an artillery melee support monster and yheetes are your fast cav optionyheetes saw some play on the tt because theyre fast

>>499526308Bloodspeakers are the guys who lead skullreapers and wrathmongers.
>>499526202What they've probably done is brought in Slaughterpriests from Age of Sigmar but they're calling them Bloodspeakers for licencing purposes. Honestly, as much as I shit on End Times/Age of Sigmar I don't really mind monogods getting a handful of units because monogods weren't really a thing pre-AoS. Mortal monogod units like Skullcrushers and Hellstriders were only introduced in 8th edition, and even then only Nurgle (Tamurkhan) and Khorne (End Times) got them in any sort of numbers. Otherwise it was just markedmannii
>>499524667>Whorus Lupercal
>The Northmen tribes of the Skaramor have long maintained an existence of constant battle throughout the Chaos Wastes. That they have rarely crossed the Sea of Chaos is a matter of choice; the Skaramor are devoted to claiming the skulls of the mightiest foes and offering them up to Khorne.>For thousands of years, the Skaramor have viewed all who dwell to the south as unworthy offerings for the Blood God, electing instead to prey upon the hardened survivors and mighty Chaos Champions of the Chaos Wastes, and upon the lands of their fellow Northmen -- Norscans, Kurgan and Hung alike -- with vicious abandon. They have hunted down the greatest beasts of Chaos, and hurled themselves outnumbered into battle against warbands of Chaos Warriors or even Daemons time and again.>Each Skullreaper is clad in heavy, half-plate Chaos Armour and gifted with horrific mutations that enhance their already terrifying martial prowess. Such is their might that each Skullreaper is considered as individually powerful as any Champion of Chaos. Only the Wrathmongers are above even these mighty berserkers in power and prestige. >Once a Skaramor tribesman begins to walk the path of the Wrathmonger, there is no going back. Surrendering themselves to the tutelage of the tribe's Khornate demagogues -- known as bloodspeakers -- the aspirants are subject to a punishing regime of conditioning and worship. They eat only the flesh of those they slay, and drink only the hot blood that flows from their victims' veins.
>>499526359*thursday :^)
>>499527428>From the day of their ascendency, the Wrathmongers become the elite of their tribe. Those who return from the Pilgrimage of Skulls are viewed with awe and reverence, their snarled words heeded as if they were those of Khorne himself. In battle they are unstoppable, hurling themselves at the foe with unnatural vigour while whirling their hammer-flails in bloody arcs. Armoured knights, hordes of soldiers, mighty beasts or engines of war, none can stand before the Wrathmongers in combat.
>>499527059ah yes
>>499527153Yeah I'm guessing AoS stuff is allowed now for chaos factions (besides models for exalted daemon lords), Tzeentch and Slaanesh got short end of the stick in 8th/end times editions, but right now only Khorne is getting 8th/end times/AoS stuff, so there is maybe another Nurgle dlc is coming
