>>499534061oh you...
Total War First Age about the epic conflicts and struggles between Elves, Dwarves, and Morgoth's dark forces during the dawn of Middle-earth's history.Total War Second Age about the rise of Sauron, the forging of the Rings of Power, and the dramatic wars leading to the downfall of Númenor.Total War Third Age about the War of the Ring, the last stand of men, elves, and dwarves against Sauron, and the ultimate fate of Middle-earth.
Total War Game of Thrones would be about the War of the Five Kings, using mechanics from Total War Three Kingdoms, like diplomacy, spies, and alliances. Recruitment would be based on Total War Pharaoh, with faction units and local units. The endgame would feature an invasion of White Walkers (draugr). The map would cover Westeros, along with Essos cities featured in the show like Meereen, Astapor, and Yunkai, as well as the Dothraki Sea. Future DLC could expand deeper into Essos, and there would also be a DLC for the Dance of the Dragons Targaryen civil war.
I dont think they should make total wars no more
>>499536185Hoping for a Limited War now
Chaos faction are not playble beacuse coruption doesn't work. Vampire counts and Bretonnia are oudated. Ogres we have to wait for the dlc. Only factions working right now are Cathay, Empire, Skaven, Elfs and Dwarfs.

>>499542349When you say unit cap, do you mean like ones that add like a faction limit or like a like tabletop caps summon? Because they just released a summon that lets you manually add tabletop caps at whatever amount you think is fair to like unitd that domt have it ingame
I downloaded a bunch of cheats and have been having fun with the game. Adding Nagash in is pretty fun but I kind of hate the anti player bias the AI has for it. Nagash will just travel across the map to attack you for no reason. Any cheats that are /vg/ approved or recommended?
>>499541764Which dwarf campaign?
>>499543228faction limit based on buildings/lords/etc like the TK, I'm not sure I like tabletop caps yet.
>>499543313https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2845454582Use this for managing mods, it's way better than the vanilla launcher, it tells you if like you're missing requirements, let's you launch a mod in rpgm directly if you have that installed to make edits, let's you filter and create sets and is just easier to manage imoI have a ton of mods so can probably reccomend whatever, but what are you particularly looking for?
>>499543989I like tabletop caps but only in some campaigns, I disable it a lot about everu other campaign so that I can make a big powerful army just to see what it's like

>>499544025mostly looking just for interesting faction rehauls, new LLs with fun starts and mechanics. i've already put 400 hours in wh3 and want something to make new campaigns interesting.
>>499544583HE CARES NOT FROM WHERE THE SOIMILK FLOWS, ONLY THAT IT DOES
>>499542709I always head straight for the tree after destroying estalia and skryre. I'll be working down from Khazrak's direction as well. Entirety of mankind falls by doing this. Don't know how you consider this good
>>499545296I don't mean good as in doing well in the campaign, I mean good as in I'm just fighting these chaos and disorder niggas
KHAZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>499544885Try looking at Rhox's mods, he dies a thing where he retools a mechanic from one faction into another, like giving Vlad mechanics around becoming the Emperor. Could also try Singe's skill compilation, though they can be a little overturned, it basically adds 4-5 skills to every legendary lord which adds some sometimes unique stuff to each LL's army buffing specific units or things like thatTo be honest with you most new "adds a LL to this faction!" mods imo tend to be not that well designed, things that add new factions are a bit more okay.Red's Estalia Overhaul adds some southern realm stuff that buffs local units to make a terico, I way prefer it to the more popular cataph's southern realms.Could try looking at OvN stuff, they add new factions but I dislike how often they use the tomb kings crafting mechanic.Lastly, not faction rehauls, but I like mods that add the warriors of chaos upgrade mechanic to every faction (though yeah it makes warriors of chaos less unique)Also doesn't fit what you're asking, but I eill always shill for Crisis of Mortals for adding some population mechanics that I like personally, though it can have some incompatibility problems
>>499545616Go to the elves. Fight wood elf and then Bretonnia. Confed khazrak and delete the empire. Then confed taurox and go for donut
>>499546081>Fight Wood Elves>mfw fuck....

>>499515680what are you talking about most of the stuff they mentioned was stuff turin mentioned in his recent videos, and catholicalchoholic is the winner of his last big tournament. mpgods continue to run this game while legendautists aren't even an afterthought.
huh, I think I might have installed too many mods

>>499547827None of his retarded rot knight buffs or steam tank nerfs got through, so nope, L for Turin. Which is good, because he's a retard. I'm sure the wood elves would somehow get more buffs too if he had a hand in it.
>>499548592>rot knight buffsFucking what???? Why did he want thag, rot knights are like SUPER strong....
>Thread still infested with touristsShut up, tourists. I didn't ask.
>>499548776>expecting an MPfag to understand monstrous cavalryKEK
>>499542709I kind of wonder if CA made the evil factions in 3 more powerful due to complaints about Ordertide.
>>499548776Because mpfag rules are so esoteric and insane they somehow make good units bad.

>>499548883I'm going to tour my dick into your ass, faggot
>>499549172And bad units are suddenly good because of their arbitrary cost cap rules, not because of their usefulness so theyll spam out shitstacks and be like "uh yeah these are actually good why should they be buffed!" meanwhile in the proper way to play the game your Empire Swordsmen will fold to the AI in a matter of seconds to T2s of any other faction
>>499548884But like literally all you have to do is right click the enemy, they're that strong that even frontal charges aren't awful with them and they're super heavy sk don't get caught upLiterally just like flank with them at all and they're golden but even then you can use them a bunch of different ways. I literally use them to fight monstrous infantry sometimes to prevent that from getting to my infsntry>>499549172Pretty much the only way you can misuse them is by NOT using them

OVERTYRANT'S TOO FAT FOR HIS ARMORGET THE GUTPLATE STRETCHER
I've been playing Warhammer 3 recently and I have two questions about using heroes as agents instead of in battles.1) Is the success % shown accurate? Maybe I'm just unlucky but I got a quest to assassinate an enemy hero. According to the UI I have an 83% chance of success, but I failed the assassination attempt 4 turns in a row.2) Does equipment matter at all for heroes that don't go into battle (other than ancillaries that explicitly say they give a bonus to hero actions), or should I just keep them naked and save my equipment for my battle heroes?
Took me 16 turns, I kinda suck
>>499549751Then just use the one that gives her hair but keeps the face and makeup. You're still gay for removing the cap but at least it's the correct face.
>>499549654>meanwhile in an Araby Slaaneshi encampment..
is there any reason to not use mounts for lords / heroes? they get so much health from a mount that it seems extremely detrimental to not use them.
>>499549971forgot pic
>>499550235Them niggas walk on the other side if the street if you know what I be saying
>>499549890Reloading doesn't reset it, if you fail it then reload you'll fail again thebsecond timeEquipment purely gives the buff that it says, so there's no benefit equipping Batley stuff to non-bqttle heroes yeah
>>499549890You just got fucked over by RNG, it happens.Honestly, if you care about playing optimally, you should almost always attach your heroes to an army and only detach them if you need something scouted. Heroes in Warhammer are so important that it's not worth having them sit on the campaign map, where all they can do is damage walls and block armies, when they could help you win a battle instead, and or give an army of yours big benefits.
>>499550274Smaller model means they're hard to hit with ranged fire, especially once engaged in melee. It also means they can have base contact with fewer enemy models so they'll take less damage. It also makes them immune to bonus vs large attacks. In general the benefits of mounts still outweigh the downsides, but for defensive purposes it can be worth it if the mount they get is relatively weak.
>>499550274Makes them easier to be hit by rangedIt's generally better to be on Mount imo but like if the enemy has a billion guns, maybe consider swapping to foot for a battle
>>4995498901.The percentage gives you an idea but it is irrelevant because it's "seeded". So you are not rolling a dice, the dice has already been rolled. You can cheese it by saving before attempting, reloading if it fails, doing any action that changes the seed, like recruiting another hero, and attempting again. iirc that's how it went.2. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Keep em naked.
>>499550416>Reloading doesn't reset it, if you fail it then reload you'll fail again thebsecond timeI didn't fail then reload, I failed then hit end turn, then tried again next turn. Four times in a row.>>499550579Assassinating enemy heroes before a battle also gives me a big benefit without taking up a unit slot in battle that I could use for heroes which are actually built for battle.
>>499550935>killing 1 enemy hero in exchange for losing out on a capable fighter/support that buffs my army both in and out of battleNot really worth it. If you want to play that way, go ahead, but it's not optimal.
>>499549751>LIG adding deep, DEEP cleavage to a reskin Whew, I thought he got totally buckbroken after the pitiful Ulrica, Repanse and frostmaiden models. Hope he goes back and sluttifies those one day.
>>499551179>losing outAre you dense? I'm not losing out on anything since you can't make a stack of 21 anyway. I'm not putting my assassin into my stack, I'm moving him alongside the stack to assassinate enemy heroes before attacking with my actual combat stack.
>>499550579>Honestly, if you care about playing optimally, you should almost always attach your heroes to an army and only detach them if you need something scouted.I disagree, depending on the factionThere's many hero types that are like pretty useless and I dislike and like way prefer doing campaign actions. (Usually melee heroes in non-melee focused factions.)Like nobles in high elves or exalted heroes in warriors if chaos. I just never have enough armies to justify not just liek using better heroes liek mages or handmaidens
>>499551472How the fuck are exalted heroes useless when Nurgle heroes exist?
This is my favorite mod although I wish it wasn't so clashing with the tomb king aesthetic.
>>499551608Just make a mod that turns all of the Kings units into Kangz so it doesn't clash.
>useless in battle>god-tier on campaign mapAre there any heroes this actually applies to? Witch hunters are the only ones that I can think of.
Novel idea: Hero slots in armiesso they don't take up unit slots but you don't get nigger shit like full hero armies
>>499551608bring me...
Being Malakai is a cucked existence. Purged the realm of Norscan scum and rats, now I'm stuck fighting a dozen wars against all the different chaos factions, literally shielding the oldworld from all these inferior cultures trying to migrate there and somehow Kislev still can't get it's shit together and is losing to Drycha while the Empire is just, doing nothing. Orthodoxy is just turtling in his settlements for 50 turns in a row. They're all at war with most of the same factions I am, and no one has sent any armies north.I'm going to bomb them all.
>Sweet Baby Inc KhalidaShan't be using that.
Would anybody like to battle test a 1v1 between a Dwarf Runelord and a Khorne Bloodspeaker?
>>499551578I just usually find an extra unit of an actual unit to be more useful at killing stuff, though I don't know if I've played and tried ilusing one of those since the dlc that added thwm
>>499551771This and also unit caps for higher tier units.
>>499551771People like playing herohammer so that's not going to happen.
>>499551831It's not out yet idk how you want me to do thay
>>499541062stormvermin that don't rout and get easy regen and perfect vigor sound pretty good to me
>>499551980they do?that's fucking grim
>>499551771I agree with this idea
Is Ikkit a good campaign to start as a skaven virgin? I can't decide if I want guns or ninjas so I'm torn between Ikkit or Eshin.
>>499552075Unfortunately!!!
>>499551608>>499551784Bigger
>>499551771Having more than 2 or maybe 3 heroes per army is degenerate, so I simply don't do that. No need for special slots. Let the babbies play with full hero stacks if they like that, it doesn't affect me.
>>499552093Ikkit1. He has Nukes2. Biggest brain of all rats3. He has Nukes
>>499552093He's fun and powerful but he's probably not going to teach you the "traditional" skeven gameplay because of his super focus om gunsThat said, every skaven faction gets guns if you have him so I guess he'll also teach you hoe to play everyone else after anyway so ×/e
>>499552216i typically have 2 but whenever I play empire shit gets out of control with all the legendary heroes they get.
>>499551770I remember everyone saying thanes were only good as assault unit bots but that was a long time ago
Where has the usual sloppa request anon gone?
I usually will always field 2 mages with sort of like pairing schools of magic
>>499551770Night Goblin Bosses with Skarsnik.
>>499552093Ikkit is definitely better for a starting player than Snikch. Cheesing the AI with full armies of of assassins and gutter runners is kinda fun, but not nearly as fun or as versatile as going all in on their crazy war machines.
>>499552093Ikkit is Warhammer on easy mode. Just be sure to chose the skill that gives you regeneration while casting.
>>499552308I think Ikit symbolizes rats better than the rest>encourages throwing slaves/clanrats out as meatshields>blast the enemy with weapons teams with 0 care for your army rats>win
>>499551770Skink Chief
>>499552093I'm going to be a contrarian and recommend Throt
>>499551770Skaven assassins aren't useless in battle, but Skaven have multiple more useful hero options available so I mostly use them for scouting and assassinating.
>>499550274Might be useful in walled settlement battles since horses can't climb ladders.
>>499549204I prefer the one that keeps the cap on the top but shows hair
>>499548776he said they are too expensive and hard to get their value back. sp doesn't care about recruit cost so that problem never comes up there.
>>499553064>SP doesnt care about recruit costI do depending on the situation, but if you want multiple rot knights and can afford it its more about the time needed to recruit rather than the initial cost
>big buffs for bloodshrines and skull cannonsAm I the only one hype for this?I love those wacky units and always suffer to make them work.
>>499552759IDK, they at least let you get a stegadon faster than waiting for a T4 settlement.
>>499553457They appear in blood host armies so yeah it could be cool.Pretty sure that Heralds and Bloodreapers get the shrine as a mount.
What happened to the beastjeet?
>>499553662Eaten by a feral dog on the streets of Kolkata
>>499553457They were always good in SFO, which you should have been playing all along.

Post the webm
>>499553662Ind was always a long shot since they're a non-entity on the tabletop. People just convinced themselves they were a sure thing based on the map layout.
>>499553805SFO makes the orcs blueIt makes the GREENskins blueI'm not playing it
>>499531669How long will he continue making those?
>Black Coachthis is without a doubt one of the shittiest units i've ever seen
>>499554038Literally me.
mpchads: want every unit (except for always flying ones) to be useful for their costspchuds: don't care about variety just want to make braindead stacks of unbreakable heavy infantry and 400 range archers
Would anybody like to guess the capabilities of the Bloodspeaker?I think that he will be a decent melee combatant who also have unlimited use buffs for surrounding allies.A team player that can also duel to a modest degree.
>>499554250It looks awful in a fight but it always seems to get me good gold damage value

>>499554953It genuinely is not where the money is, that's what insane. 90% of the playerbase is SP and CA's attempt at a TW e-sport scene failed.

>>499555707MPsissies...... the SPBVLLS are making fun of us again....
>>499554250Strong disagree, it's tremendous at clearing chaff, which isn't necessarily a VC's biggest problem, but it's nice to have, and does pretty well against tougher infantry like chorf warriors. Very mobile for sieges too, good for dicking the AI around. I'd always take it if I'm expecting Skaven. You need to micro it however, but honestly VC are light on micro as is, even more so if you play like I do (blob up hard in trees with a necromancer + corpse cart), Vampire and Wight King heroes are all tough enough to not be too micro intense either.
>>499555964Imagine if these games didn't have turbo dogshit pathfinding and we could actually have interesting battle maps
>>499556039>E-sport is where the money is....for completely different gamesEven for Dota or LoL the "money" is just a massive bubble.

>>499556302why even have the statues
>>499556341CA feels the need to use the asset after getting rid of that map
>>499553457They also gaved to most of the large monsters a collision attack, basically making their large hitbox a weapon, it's more useful that splash attacks, judging by current dread saurian. But I wonder what other balance changes to units they made.

>>499556606To all the 20 people who watch their tournaments, who're already Total War players?
>>499556508I feel like a lot of units suck dick at pursuit and other moving roles because they knock enemies down which makes the enemy immune to damageI've seen cav knock fleeing lords down without dealing damage across the entire map
People can't accept it, but this is the ideal way to playhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2827102920
>>499556748Yeah because of this, smaller units like wolves tend to be way better at chasing routing units than much stronger cavalry units.
total peace
>>499556734People watch the YouTube videos
>>499556748>watching a large lord trying to kill a routing lord
>>499556748Yeah well, in some patches they actually disabled knockdown damage immunity, then for some reason they brought it back. I'm guess they will probably disable it again, at some point, since people keep mentioning this.
>>499551608>>499551784I could have saved her.
>>499556647>never made it to an endgame crisis before>get alert for it>panic and prepare a ton>finally get to it>takes like 3 turns to repel
Trying to create a competitive esports scene from a game series that's so buggy and inconsistent will never not be hilarious to me. Shit like this >>499556748it's the equivalent of playing an FPS and all of a sudden your bullets do no damage for 30 seconds.
>>499556273Sorta? Not sure bubble is the right term. The tournaments themselves do little for new revenue, it's mostly to legitimize it as a "scene" and keep players invested to then spend said money on in-game shit. At least in Dota's case I know it's not a bubble in the traditional economic sense I'm thinking of because Valve spends less on the International each year and gives out less and less to the point of basically outsourcing it and just reaping in revenue it gains from selling Funko pop shit.
>>499557171I want her in Pharaoh.
>>499556901bats are also insanely good at dragging down routing lords because they don't have collision boxes with themselves, so the whole unit can pile up on a single entity
>>499556058NTA but I love using Witch Hunters in my armies but they are definitely on the weaker side, I keep a Witch Hunter in Franz's army that uses Dragon Tooth and even with the proper armor, talisman of preservation, all melee items because most the ranged weapon options for Empire are weak and a potion of healing theyll trade evenly with a stronger unit but still be too squishy.
>>499554953Not so much where the money is, just the loudest. Troons aren't where the money is either which is why games that pander to them keep flopping.
>>499556873>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2827102920>god modebut you can already play as the cg's. They're arguably the best campaigns in the game.
>>499556956I don't think the biggest tournaments even reach Legend's lesser viewed videos for that month, and Legend's views have been falling off a cliff too.
witch hunters give some pretty useful passive bonuses but all ranged heroes are typically garbage. it's even worse if your legendary lord is ranged single target like markus wulfhart. atleast CA is kind of getting better with it with the new legendary hero gundam for cathay being an absolute bullshit sniper but everything else older is still struggling to find a relevant spot in an army.
>>499558030turin's the biggest mp youtuber and he pulls about half of legend's numbers

>>499558562pretty sure you can get some wood elf and high elf heroes to get a chance to spawn with the ability. i personally would like more heroes to be able to branch between excelling in single target sniper damage or permanently make their ranged aoe like mini artillery. i think some of the dworfs and chaos dorfs have heroes that can do that but I honestly don't notice what they do in most fights.
>>499558481Not even half, Legends patch notes video did 15k views in 3 hours while Turins which has "gameplay" (mpfag gameplay is a joke) has barely 4.5k in 4 hours
>>499558318Witch Hunters are not a "ranged hero", they are lord/hero snipers, duelists even, they're all about nuking and debuffing a single character, makes you wonder why anyone would use Huntsman Generals when Witch Hunters are right there and you don't need to sacrifice the lord slot for WH like you do with HMG

>>499559703That's literally what you're supposed to do. They're free and strong as shit in the early game. They'll hard carry you until your reach 8 Peaks.
>>499560067Because they're so varied that there's not 1 army comp they'd all compliment
>>499559517Grab a frontline of Dwarf Warriors, dont pick Miners they fucking suck then grab some artillery, preferably Grudge Throwers earlygame to grab the enemy AIs attention while you get in formation, make them come to you. Make Thorgrim as tanky as possible since the fucker is meant to survive through anything. Quarellers are there to pick off things coming at you while the average Dwarf Warrior will outlive almost anything thrown at them barring AP. Eventually phase out some Warriors for Longbeards and Quarellers for Irondrakes and Thunderers, grabbing better artillery and a THOONDABARGE along the way. Master Engineer is there to buff your earlygame 2 Grudge Throwers and whatever else you decide to add. Gyrocopters are also good to add maybe 2 to 3 but stick to just having a good formation and you laugh off most magic thrown at you anyways.

>>499560064Huntsman general is for a weird niche of using huntsmen with woodmen attribute, making them a cheap apex predators against large targets with unit buffs general provide.It works,but It's a niche use, build on desperation and hope that some day, things will get better.
>>499560064>Huntsman General is for Lord Sniping I guess?HG always felt such like the odd one outNever really used them much desu, cause whatever I needed was done better by one of the others
>>499559517Piggybacking on this, I'm doing great with dawi on field battles but siege attacking feels like I'm doing everything wrong. I've deduced that miners with blasting charges are only great on field battles and just get shot to death in sieges. Quarrelers are probably the way to go with shields and arcing missiles, and some artillery to hit towers since my slow infantry can't clear walls fast enough. Any blinding gaps in my knowledge?
>>499561008>build on desperation and hope that some day, things will get better.Huntsmen Generals are literally me.

>>499559153huntsmen generals have good buffs for huntsmen and halberdiers and have a AOE flaming weapon imbuement so they're good when fighting regenerating enemies, also the talabecland runefang gives permanent flaming attacks so the oil flak is a big damage boost
>>499561078Your first mistake was doing the siege in the first place but if you really wanna siege with Dwarfs, grab like 3 to 4 grudge throwers and stick to 1 side that has the least amount of towers shooting at you, since you are slow as shit and its a siege you are gonna lose units anyways so while the grudge throwers break the walls down slowly make your way inside. Its gonna be slow and painful but eventually you will win purely because your units are tanky.

>>499561693i think the chaotic nature of how radical the empire homelands can change every campaign always make it a fun experience every time you play it. there's so many factions crammed so close together with a lot of dangerous regional threats making every run different. there's not many other areas in the map that can introduce such an interesting power dynamic making every experience unique. i'm not even really a fan of the empire but the starting location makes it the most fun in the game for me.

Wheres the update I want to start a new campaign
>>499561693There's no campaign that matches Karl Franz's, not just in terms of the quality of the Empire faction but also his particular mechanics; as Prince AND Emperor.
Is legendary actually hard now? I heard CA made the AI smarter on higher difficulties.
>>499562464Next week
>>499561509Man I wish other races had something similar instead of making you wait til the game's already decided before letting you have tier 4 units.
I only play on VH / VH but i'm honestly getting frustraed with how much the AI and game outright cheats. It's pretty stupid how a faction with 1 settlement can field 3 full stacks. I may just go back down to normal campaign but VH battles. It's honestly not worth all the extra tedious work and the game cheating for "difficulty"
Franz is honestly the optimal experience because its just nonstop war and at a disadvantage until you can start fielding Greatswords (which are actually good now), Hochland Long Rifles, Nuln Ironsides and Steam Tanks + 2 Hellstorm Rocket Batteries and you eventually destroy everything in your path just like a main character faction should.
>>499541062Grim when CA no longer doing the absolute fucking minimum is considered a great year. Meanwhile, Nurgle is still no fun allowed garbage.
>>499560064Huntsman generals are perfect for scenarios where you don't have much time to build an usual mid or late game jack of all trades/gun and arty stack and you are in a forest area (like a empire's Old World or Lustria). With micro effort, you can win many clutches. Of course it's only applicable to situations where AI grabs you by the balls and you want it to twist them a little. It's an option, really wild shit, makes things more difficult but doable. He is for making a poor Rambo's armies (or wood elves), a little shard of that feeling.
I created a total war fan thw other day by introducing them to it and getting them started on Shogun 2!!!
>>499562814the main thing with franz is if the elector counts survive and if sylvania wants to play nice. the campaign can open up to several very dangerous fronts super early in the game. the dynamic nature of the starting location makes it a blast every time.
>>499562763Three stacks of tier 0 garbage, maybe. Just take two stacks of actually good units and delete them.
>>499563024>if sylvania wants to play nicethat never happens to me
>>499563024>the other elector countsMeh, assume they will all die, the only ally you need is Elspeth who can and will destroy Sylvania eventually so you can concentrate on bringing Toddy back and taking Khazrak, Festus and the generic Greenskins faction down while playing on the defensive from Helmgart and Kemmler if hes still alive and doing well
Get this: Armoured Kossars (Spears)
>>499562464Why? You play the same goddamn faction with the same units anyways.
>>499563334the thing about the elector counts is that they buy you time to fortify your fronts. if they get absolutely decimated quickly then that opens up a whole bunch of fuck with their conquerors most likely going to declare war on you right after with typically several full stacks at the border already.
what if we took my faction and gave them an unbreakable t0 anti-large armor piercing charge defense unit
What do they talk about?
>>499562350Anyone?
>>499563782Why would you take a hit to reliability?
>>499563782noyesdependsplaying as an evilfag? Probably doesn't matter
>>499563897I have to threaten the bitch
>>499563782>>499563782confederating only gives you a temporary decrease in diplomacy of the same faction, it doesn't hurt your reliability. you should never really try to hurt your reliability unless you are playing as a chaotic piece of shit that just wants to map paint. now reliability is similar to realm divide in shogun 2, everybody will just start declaring war on you and cancelling your previous diplomacy agreements.
>>499563745>"Hurt me!" said the masochist, "No!" replied the sadist.

>>499563505The way I see it>Ostermark, Hochland, MiddenlandAssume they will die either right as you fully capture Reikland or slightly after, Middenland consistently will be dead by the time you capture the final province in Reikland.>NordlandUsually follows after the other 3 die because of the Greenskins and Norsca>MarienbergIf Kemmler is doing well he will eventually take this and launch a war against you>Stirland, Averland, TalabeclandThe minute one of the first 2 dies that usually means Vlad will eventually be coming and its only a matter of time before Festus (if still alive) decides to attack Talabecland and Vlad takes Averland and Stirland.
>>499564169how are your borders? can you afford to risk losing trade and non aggression agreements? at worst some military alliances may be cancelled too. the ai simply does not like low reliability at all. i would recommend saving and see how if they can survive long enough to make normal confederation an option.

>>499562487HOW WOULD YOU KNOW ANON?! HAVE YOU PLAYED ANOTHER CAMPAIGN?!
>>499564930Sieges are just unfun in all the Warhammer games and even worse in 3. The only times I enjoyed sieges was stacking Archers at Helmgart vs the minor Greenskin faction that used to be there
>>499564943consider that tretch giving devastating flanker to moulder wolfrats is very, very funny
if there a way to make massive reinforcement battles good without creating an entirely new engine for total war? I've lost so many winnable battles because of the forced que of reinforcements. It's such a shit system.

>>499563381chinese(probably) leak
>>499565315>Do what Legend does and hold the line in a specific spot on the maptil they arriveIf the unit count gets too high it still doesn't help since I'm getting drip fed units and the rest of the army is on que until some of my other units route. battles have a hard coded max unit cap and it makes the super large battles an absolute shit show to do. Pretty sure this happens in every total war game too.
>>499565443>no Ka'bandha>no Da Big Stabbaz>Scylla>Orc CrossbowmenYeah, its over
>>499565443Orc section seems way off

>>499565443Also dlc trailer coming at november 7th and release at 28th
>mortal khorne lord has no armour piercing>demonslayer lord has no armour piercingwhy even have a melee lord at this point
>>499565692Ka'bandha was a generic bloodthirster lord in ET rules. He only has unique rules in Horus Heresy, not Fantasy/40k.
>>499565443Are orc crossbowmen a thing in the tabletop game? Seems like they'd be too dumb to make something that complex.
>>499565879That's a silly way to look at it since the AP tag only means over 50% of your damage is AP, the best melee infantry ROR (The Immortals) has no AP.
>>499565443>more goblin trash for greenskins
>>499565995Ogre leadbelchers canonically buy or loot their guns from chorfs or Empire, orc crossbows probably the same.
>>499565995I could guess black orks would use huge crossbows, but I don't think I ever saw someone mentioning a crossbow variant of any ork unit. Anyway, this leak is weird and I wanted to share, thread is pretty funny.
>>499565443>more orc trash for greenskins
>>499565443If the "leakers" are to be believed, trailer's going to be on November 7th, release on the 28th. That seems plausible.
>>499566082Also Khorne chosen with dual axes beats regular GW chosen despite no APAlso beats greatswords.
>>499566624can they beat nurgle chosen with great weapons tho
>>499565443No way greenskin stuff is real
>>499566854Yeah, tired of goblin stuff, it's getting ridiculous.
>>499566991Not that, it's just all reskins/variants
>>499566991They explicitly mentioned that Gorbad is a good excuse to bring in orc, goblin, and squig units all at once since he's a big thinker
>>499566854Nobody likes using Orcs so Im hoping it isnt real
i want to start a greenskin campaign but they are kind of boring.
>>499567103I mean, what else here to add ? I also doubt that CA would make a black orks variant, when they have the tech to make them switch weapons on fly, it's more tabletop friendly, an angle they try to focus on.
>>499567297Their roster is a bit lacking in terms of variety not to mention most of them have challenging campaigns + they are in desperate need of a rework.
remember when MPfaggotry got bonewood staff nerfed
>>499565879"Armor Piercing" is the most overrated trait in the game. Literally every single unit in the game does some armor piercing damage, even the humble gobbo archer. Mouse over the weapon strength bar on the unit info tab. It's almost entirely irrelevant against anything that's not a dwarf or a chaos lord anyway. If anything, being armor piercing is just some "goodness" about the unit that's specialized for a specific enemy, better to not be AP and have other stats higher. Take wight kings vs banshees, WK's are virtually always the better pick despite doing poor AP compared to banshee's 100% (!) AP.
>>499567142He should think harder and bigger.
my game just crashed

>>499567703After taking a break from WH3 for a few months and coming back to replay Franz and Alith Anar its really funny seeing how Louen usually beats Belacuck up and usually its early on.
>>499568372Never seen him do that, in my games it seems like he always gets raped by Grom.
>>499568024https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/forums/8-general-discussion/threads/7454-bloodspeaker-new-dlc-khorne-lord?page=1
So how do you play Skarsnik without getting constantly raped by dwarven bullshit? This game is heavily skewed in the balance of short angry men and not short sneaky green men.
>>499568643It depends on who you are playing, 1 Alith Anar campaign where I took my time heading for the donut he was wiped out by both NKari and Grom and in the other where I kind of rushed the donut he fought Grom back easily with support from Eltharion.
>>499569116I've only played Greenskins 2 or 3 times but I'm going to take a guess and say Pump Wagons are the way to go.
>>499569357Nasty Skulkers and stack a lot of them, enough to flank Dwarfs because their AP lets them punch holes through Ungrim and Thorgrim, get some Fanatics too for their special move and protect your Arachnorok Spider
>>499565443Just give minotaurs of khorne to beastmen already ffs.
>>499570278it would take about two minutes to do it yourself, maybe thirty if you've never touched wh3 modding before
>>499570278They're 100% redundant in beastman roster. Maybe if they had magic weapons...
are there any mods where the 3d modeling is better than the official work from the small indie company CA?
>>499570759yes but only in older games
>>499570679So? Just do it for the people that would want to use them, half the roster is irrelevant anyways because they dont have upkeep and once you can field shit tons of Minotaurs and their higher tiered monsters from the DLC theyre unstoppable

>>499573789>CIA is OP
wtf I love kisev now
>>499557212Also the fact that multiplayer lacks basic features that games like Warcraft 3 had that let its competitive scene evolve naturally.

It’s also the reason why I never bother threatening anyone and why I think it’s a very poorly implemented mechanic.

>>499573950Idk why Katarin doesnt have her hair out, Elspeth always wore the cap but the original Katarin didn't
>>499573950imagine how tasteful would it be if she had a nipple slip

>build nancy reagan "just say no" posters in the inner city to reduce (cocaine) corruption
Am I missing something with Vilitch? I’ve been more or less glued to northern Cathay and the northern Chaos Wasteland because Miao Ying has turtled the Turtle Gate and only moves when I move one of my armies away from the other gates, Celestial Palace or Nan-Gau. Trying to set an ambush near those places also hasn’t done anything.
Are ogre mercenaries like allied recruitment units in that they're attached to a certain faction? I believe you lose any allied units if you go to war with that faction you recruited them from or it gets destroyed by someone else.The reason I ask is because sticking three ogre giants in very particular armies sounds like it could actually be pretty useful and fun. Thorek, for example, could buff their armour to 95 and eventually gets access to a healing army ability. Also, Dwarfs have no problems shutting down enemy archers

She definitely should be swapped to dogs of war, but trade some units that wouldn't makes sense (Republic guard, etc.) for Coast units. It's insane she didn't get dwarf pirates or the landship but I'm hoping that's a sign they're going to be doing a bigger overhaul of her soon with DoW.

It's mine bros, the most important settlement in the game.

Skaven are fucking strong
>>499581041*overpowered fraud faction
So what does "local region" mean? Is it only in that settlement or the entire province?
>>499581628>playing as fraudslev
>>499581628only in that settlement + it's region, not the entire province
>>499581628>blessed by Ursun's urinenice "lore" warhammerfags
>>499581773I had 2 very big reasons why I wanted to do this campaign.
>>499581773I get how skaven are a fraud faction, but Kislev? How?
>>499582005Ice and bears?
>>499582021Ashkina ambushers
>>499582089those guys suck though
>>499582021NTA but the majority of Kislevs army being hybrid makes them pretty lazy. There doesn't seem to be much variety with them.
>>499582089nerfed into irrelevancy
does increasing "leadership aura" increase the AOE of your other buffs to allies like increased reload speed, melee attack, etc.?
>>499582005Non-canon bullshit, Katarin is flat.
CA announced additional nerfs for Kislev. Why do the British hate Slavic people?
>>499582402Legacy fraudulency
>>499582089>>499582341I see what you're saying now.
>>499582517Turin told him to do it
>>499582517Why do they keep nerfing random shit instead of By Our Blood which is the actual bullshit? I have to assume this is some MPfag nonsense
>>499582423noIt should tho
>>499582005Giraffe neck
>>499582423>>499582721All of those buffs should simply be added to the leadership aura itself instead of being a separate AoE
You've committed crab-themed copyright infringement for the last time
>>499582689pretty sure it's not mpfags this time, by our blood causes some wild distortions in multiplayer like kossovite dervishes being 475g for a guaranteed kill on any soft ranged unit
>>499583017You've committed the same campaign for the last time
>>499582689>>499583151Perhaps CA made that ability and so they are especially attached to it
>>499549751That's an interesting model, kinda looks like Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually a Total War post.

have been away from these games for a few years, is total war dead already?
>>499587129>Vampires>Vampire Pirates>MummiesThat's at least 2 dead factions, and past total wars have only ever had one at most if any
>>499587129on its last legs... which sadly means that CA is going to release 40k which will inject billions into their pocketbooks... but at least we will get a complimentary M3 as well. But when 40k arrives this general will be ruined, so there will have to be a schism.
Damn dragons look like THAT!?
>>499587129no you haven't you retarded shitposter
>>499587426do they even have the rights for a 40k game?
>>499587430Close, but bigger.
>>499587627GW gives out their IP like candy, if they wanted it they could easily get it.
>>499587426>40K and Medieval 3Age of Sigmar and Thrones of Britannia 2, best I can do.
>>499587675i think this is the biggest cheat I can find.
Imagine if 40k isn't bad for a moment. We could get:>squad tactics where each member of a unit can fire independently, even at different targets>proper support units like machine guns that aren't just very awkward artillery>off map artillery and airstrikes, again>treating certain units as if they are agents, e.g. a CAS aircraft might cause attrition in a certain area>maybe more ambiguous factions, with the Space Marines and Imperial Guard all sharing a faction but each having their own separate mechanics that lead them to diverge as the conflict reaches mid to late game>all of this sets the stage for Pike and Shot, Empire 2, Medieval 2, and WW1
>>499587426didnt read but you dont look like that
>>499587916retards at CA aren't competent enough to make a game with these mechanics
>>499587860lmao look at those bazonkers
there's already 2 other pretty recent 40k rts games, i don't see why GWS wouldn't give the license out to CA at this point as well. I don't think GWS would be stupid enough to try for total war age of sigmar, especially so close to warhammer 3.i'm not opposed to more 40k games but I just don't feel that it will be a good fit for total war unless CA makes it a different kind of game entirely.
That weak garrison looked pretty tasty, didn't it? Now lets see if that hell cannon can get a shot off.
>>499588091GW knows how much money they'll makeCA knows how much money they'll makeThey'll agree to do it and then CA will actually try to figure out how to do it after the fact.
>confederate a minor faction that's about to start losing settlements to a major one I don't want to go to war with yet>-4500 income>have to disband two armies I could've used in a more imminent warpain
>>499587916All I really want are better scaling settingsI want the option of smaller scale campaigns with 10 units max per army and fewer elites, and the option to just go full retard with 40 unit armies and maximum doomstackingPossibly both at the same time. I want things to start tame and then watch shit hit the fan later
>>499588283i wish confederation would let you toggle what armies and heroes you want to keep.
>>499588190Siggy got hands, but he also got a 1 way ticket to Davey Jones' panty drawer.
What the hell did Brave's AI mean by this?
Are runesmiths tanky enough to put on the front line to soak damage or would you always keep them back to just give their buffs?
>>499587916>Imagine if 40k isn't bad for a moment.well 40k IS bad so jot that one down
>>499586424>>499587430I'm not sure if I love Katarin or Miao more bros
>>499589709Once they get the strong blue items that you can make (heal, perfect vigour) they are pretty much unkillable
>>499589709They are definitely tanky against non armour-piercing infantry like Orc Boyz and Skeleton Warriors.Don't recommend it against Bloodletters.
>>499589778Is the perfect vigour armour necessary? I thought hearth and home would cover thatI have two both with thungni trait (10% spell res) and wearing gatekeeper's helms (20% spell res aura) which + the 10% spell res from their tree and dwarf's natural 35% should be 75% for the entire box. The thing is they now don't have valaya or good blue armour meaning they miss 15% ward save compared to thanes
>>499589391I think the honor thing is referring to how the Vampire Coast CHADtosan Free Company are the most honest and honorable unit in the history of total war and anyone who doesn't use them almost exclusively will lose -1 capping at -3 inches off their dick length.
>>499590135*95% spell res for the entire box
>>499590417I can think of exactly zero times my lord or heros have ever had to worry about spell res now that it doesn't reduce magic attacks.

Medieval 3 probably won't have naval battles.
>>499591231
>>499591327but it will have Romans (Eastern).
>>499591231lets be honest, outside side of empire did anybody enjoy naval battles?
>>499591691It could be good if they made it good
The only time I enjoy naval battles are when my garrison has a unit of marines and I just b-line for the enemy general.Guess which Total War I am talking about.
Loving that I get to fight factions don't normally meet until they're doomstacking single entities. Not sure what I'll do in the Old World after I liberate the Maelstrom.

Guys what are the chances we get Imperial Knights and Death GUard at the launch of TW W40K? Those two are the only interesting factions I would play.
>>499593698You'll get Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Salamanders, and then your first DLC will be Grey Knights and your first FLC will be Lamenters.
>>499593698You might get them as a reference in the form of a unit, otherwise literally never. Knights are a given, but also as units and not their own faction.
>streltsi have reload animation>handgunners don'tQue?
>>4995936980 chance unless they are preorder dlc
>>4995936980 for imperial knights, you're lucky if they even GET a faction and aren't just a super unit for other imperial factionsDeath Guard very very very low, they're zero chance to get a standalone faction immediately if it only starts with 4 and like you'll be screwed over if they lumped them into another faction
>>499593698If they do what they did for Fantasy to milk money then zero chance. For game 1 probably>Spess Marines + custom chapter man like demon prince>Orks>Craftworld Eldar>Undivided Chaos Marines (DLC)If they have Primaris and Womanstodes (which they will almost certainly have the former of) I'm not buying though. 5th edition lore and after is bad enough compared to the golden age of 3rd/4th, but Primaris and Femstodes are another level of retarded that I'm not putting money towards
>>499532707Only if the saurus warriors (guns) are lazer gun.
Why can Gotrek wear armor when he has voice lines specifically condemning wearing armor?
>>499595503he is a coward and a hypocrite
>>499595503He's clearly not wearing it tho
actually crazy how fucking garbage the skirmish mode is sometimes, actually infuriating
>>499596042It's absolutely awful to use on any unit that can't fire whilst moving or isn't fast cav. Especially on something that's close ranged like irondrakes, they start skirmishing before they can even get a volley off on some units. Most conventional missile units, disable skirmish, micro yourself, enable guard mode.
>>499593414naval battle in shogun 2 and especially fots was pure cock and ball torture.
>>499596446Even on units that can move and shoot is pretty bad. You’re honestly better off skirmishing them yourselves or not bothering with them at all.
>>499595503He's not condemning it, he is just owning up to be a maiden.
>>499596692You just need to learn its quirks. Like rushing explosive shells in FOTS.>but muh naval blockadeDefend your shit then.
>>499592150Rome 2
>>499597689the blockade is how you defend your shit, and unless you can guarantee that every hit is a detonation even explosive shells won't stop the enemy from white line camping.

>>499602631Considering VC only have 2 fans and one of them is Enticity this is likely.
>>499604056I don't have the game installed right now so I can't take a screen shot, but in literally every naval engagement I fought in fots the enemy started out deployed like this.
Is Vampire Coast weak or am I just retarded? Maybe both?Obviously a Necrofex doomstack is good, but I mean playing the armies normally.
Has anyone ever stolen a caster hero as Dwarfs using the request army trick? Can you actually use their spells or are Dwarfs completely hard locked out of having winds of magic?
>>499604440Yes, it's not on the white line though.
>>499602631luthorschizo showed turn 300+ campaign picsno way thats a side gigHow can anyone play the game post turn 100 is beyond me
>>499605037He autos on normal. You could hit turn 300 in a few hours.
>>499604906even if you do this they will still retreat off the map as soon as they start taking damage. if even one ship escapes your trade routes are gone.
>>499605037I play ~60 turns of new campaigns every night after work.Takes like two or three hours300 turns is at most like 15 hours of gameplay.
>>499605327False. I've never seen them retreat just on damage alone. Unless you damage them to the point of routing. Even one ship will put up quite a fight.>if even one ship escapes your trade routes are goneSounds like you just suck. I don't think there's a cure for that.
>>499605808>>499605327In addition, Shogun 2 is the wrong game to rely on trade. You should be setting up your economy to be in the black WITHOUT trade. Not because of blockades, but because every single faction will inevitably declare war.
Why the fuck isn't the Hurricanum in the game, if they've actually already got the important part of it that separates it from the Luminarch already modeled and ingame? I just spotted it during a settlement defence
>>499606147even with no trade partners, or only foreign trade in fots, you can get enormous profit from trade. you did know that you can stack more than one trade ship on each node right?
>>499607485>while you were studied the ashigaru, I studied the trade
>>499605808>Unless you damage them to the point of routing.yeah no shit you damage them and then they start routing off the map and you have zero room to intercept them so they get away. be honest when was the last time you played this game?
>>499607485Your land economy should still be positive without trade, that's all I'm saying. And I was talking about FOTS anyway, which has no trade nodes. Your expectation should be that you get cut off from the European powers, especially if you aren't playing on tutorial island.
>>499607468Hurricanum and Wizard Lords should have come with Thrones of Decay but they were planning on half-assing it.After Sega cracked the whip they didn't have time to it out properly and just upgraded the Engineer hero to a lord and did a few other easy fixes.
>>499607738Last week. If you aren't rushing explosive shells and burning ships rather than just damaging them, I don't know what to tell you.I bet you're the guy complaining about retreat movement in other games. You're a cancer on this general.
I like the concept of Nurgle but I hate how all nurgle factions play on the campaign side of things.
>>499607879CA is too lazy to do shiny new lord models for every single wizard/lore. It took them a gorillion years just to finish the heroes. That's probably why we'll never get Grand Masters since it'd take some effort to deck them out for various chaptersGood thing there's always cheats
>>499607879It does piss me off that Empire's Lord selection is already pretty big yet half of it is made up garbageEngineers did not need to be lords. Wulfhart did not need a generic companion.
>>499608493Grand Masters won't happen just because they'd be Generals that can't get Gryphons. Nowhere near different enough to justify, and now the General has skill lines that let him pick between buff Lord or fighty Lord he's got that space covered entirely

How would /twg/ revamp Brettonia to make them not annoying to play?
>>499612812Make vows not shit.Give them tankier frontline.
>>499612812Just vows. They're overall a forgiving/easy (assuming you can cycle charge at all, which avg total war player can't do) and decent faction. Try them with a vow cheat and you'll see how this alone makes a big change to QoL/annoyance. People also seem to struggle with which cavalry to use where/when/why, too. Some units could use a slight tweak here or there, sure, but fix vows first, then sit on it for a patch at least.

>"reinforcements" arrive right when the battle is wonThanks beast"men". Also, I'm going to restart this campaign either now or after a different one to cleanse the palate of sorts. This time I'll sandbag myself even more, I was doing (and will maintain) never ever using demons, this includes RoR, emergency or not. and next time I will also limit myself to one hero per lord (legendary or otherwise). I'll use the spare legendary heroes on the world map just for scouting or some shit instead. I play on VH/VH with a cheat that allows me to make all AI a little stronger on campaign map, maybe I'll tune it up a little more. Wonder if a full mounted Tamurkhan army would be interesting of sorts, too. Expensive but not so chaosmanii blobby (or just sucks). How else do you guys sandbag or handicap yourselves in campaigns?

How do you guys decide when to field a new army? Especially that 2nd army in a campaign?3k+ treasure?
>>499635859When i need it.
>people think the dlc will drop Nov. 28I’d be shocked if they dropped it on thanksgiving.
>>499635859Depends on the faction and current situation.If I’m secure and proceeding fine with my first lord in a singular direction, I’ll try to wait and build eco.If I wanna expand in 2 directions quickly and have potent enough units early to work with 2 partial stacks (warriors of chaos), I’ll go for it super quick.
>>499631729radius? but where's the mortis engine effect?
I only play spellcaster lords.Which of the upcoming DLC/FLC lords should I play first?
>>499632658Everyone sleeps on Curse of Anraheir, -24 MA and MD in a 35m radius for 21 seconds is insane to cast on a frontline clash
34 for mins for patch 5.3
>>499639590Not impossible.
>>499638606true.Plus the armor one isn't even that bad.
If I start an unholy manifestation in enemy territory as it requires, can I take the territory immediately after during the conjuration time or do I have to wait?
>>499641704You can take it on the same turn. Doesnt effect the manifestation.
>>499635859I grab a 2nd Lord on turn 1 after capturing the first settlement, so on turn 2 they're ready to follow my LL around and get some level-ups. I recruit into the main army until that's full, then maybe into the 2nd army until their size and level is good enough to go off alone. Bonus points for picking a mobile lord type (early mount access) and more cav in the 2nd army.
A NEWS JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
>>499589758Same.
Seriously how is it taking them this long to make three lords and a few new units? I don't even care about anything in this DLC I just want it to be out so we can eventually get one that might have something I do care about.
>>499578641Had a blast playing Imrik, dragons are cool shit. As for Eltharion's I couldn't make his dual start work and didn't want to give up one or the other, maybe I'll give it another try sometime.
>>499642938Why would you give up anything? The fun in batman run is doing both donut and badlands at the same time.
>>499642670I think the leak was correct, they were making another shitty Cathay DLC and the overwhelming negative response has them working double time to pump out something else. Hence why the 6.0 discussion video only had concept art despite launching in 2 months. It's like some upper management guy's kid is making decisions and 80% of the way through they realize it's fucking stupid and a wasted effort (Hyenas, SoC 1) fortunately Sofia is their ace in the hole that can salvage these things (Pharaoh Dynasties).I agree though, Greenskins are already perfect, Ogres were fine with Ogrehaul mod (still need Ghark Ironskin), and Khorne is boring. I want Dechala and the tiddysnakes and a Slaanesh Lord/Hero, making Azazel better and a Slaanesh monogod start that isn't pure cancer
>>499643525What's wrong with Azazel?
I'm just now realizing that Skaven have better poison than Nurgle because globes actually do DoT
>>499644053he killed my sister
>>499643525The leak literally called what was obviously Golgfag in the files an OC, it was retarded. Assuming shuffling did happen, the original plan was absolutely not Legend's emailed in leaks from a troll.
>>499643289Like I said I didn't want to give up one or the other, but you can't afford to build up the two armies you need at the beginning of the game.
>>499642143Great idea, thanks for sharing!
I'm Rick.
>>499644254Those are warpstone-chemicals not poison.And Nurgle can easily outlast and do more dot damage with their mortis engine units.
>>499644258At least she didn't die a virgin.
>>499644485Sure you can. Spearmen and archers are all you need. You don't have to go full 20 stack in both armies to clean greenies from donut and killing savage orks in badlands.
>>499644053Imo he's the weakest of the CoC's as far as campaign enjoyment for me>no CSL of Slaanesh or Exalted Hero of Slaanesh means you have alot more undivided lords/heroes and Azazel should be even more dedicated than the other CoC's>Chaos Lord of Slaanesh is decent but his mount options make him the least cool of the dedicated Chaos Lords, the chariot is nice but feels suboptimal in sieges and lackluster compared to the disc or juggernaut>Slaanesh gifted units are kinda meh, Trolls are plentiful and strong at what theyre strong at (speed and AP) while being less fragile. Chariots and daemonettes and fiends are cool but tame compared to skullcannons, flamers, nurgle soul grinder, etc>Kislev is incredibly annoying to fight, and the cuckcorner north of the bastion isn't great for RoC either>unit seduction is OK but not really a good option until late game when your army is already strong anywayHe's super fun on battles, tied with Kholek imo for funnest battle character. Just needs the Slaanesh DLC to drop already
SLAANESH'S PERVERSE GLORY
>>499617397Razergorsflesh hounds of KhorneNorscan war dogsthings in the woodseven war lions sometimesThese are all very good units that tend to get overlooked, and fill a similar role. Even regular dog units can be quite good even in the late game.
You now remember Daniel exists.
>>499645376Fuck youDamn, how did they drop the ball so bad there
Azazel loves us!

>>499645756Lower than a r/totalwar player, for shame.
>>499646069>nooo you're supposed to do the heckin cheeserino by exploiting tower line of sights and magic when the AI breaks down because it's 2024 and CA still hasn't been able to code a proper fucking siege battle AI
>>499646232Try not to sound so mind broken when called out in the future
Playing Dwarfs for the first time and am I supposed to be enjoying Rangers and Bugman's Rangers more than Quarrellers and Thunderers? Also Irondrakes are really fun too. Playing Grombrindal btw
>>499646868Quarellers have shields so they are better at ranged duelling.
>>499647276Their shields are inactive when shooting.
>>499647276so do rangers, the only thing that quarellers have over rangers is armor and mdef, stats that are only useful for units going into melee, which is retarded on a ranged unit
Getting tier 4 and 5 settlements takes too damn long!
>>499647593Get more food buildings.
>>499647432I don't think that is true.
>>499647432Actually false, I thought so too but you can test it yourself in a custom battle. Even though they don't have the shield up it still works
>>499647882Even while foodmaxxing it takes too damn long!
>>499634790Based and FOTS-pilled
>>499647593Actually, I think its too fastso many low-mid tier units that never get used because you HAVE to recruit only good stuff at the start of a game lest you drown in AI spam
>>499647593Depends on whom you play. Skaven and their cousins, the Dwarfs, grow fast as fuck. On the other hand Cathay's growth is slow as shit even if you go for growth disharmony
>>499649367Food buildingsCommandmentsRush techHeroes with auxiliaries
The only capaign I can stay invested in is slaanesh due to the collect women campaign mechanic
>show up to play after a break>UPDATE NEXT WEEKwhy do I even try to play this fucking game
FUCK C*TS
I greatly enjoy Tamurkhan's campaign because it allows me to collect friends (only friends with me, they hate each other).
Hmm... will wh3 be in the Halloween sale or do I have to wait for winter. Am considering buying the base game and creamapi it
>>499650582Is it fun to play on roc campaign map? Never finished one single campaign on ROC map and want to do it.
>>499573670>e621
>>499652439>RoCNever again. It's so bad it makes me miss vortex a little.
>>499651621I think in my personal opinion that Tarmukhan campaign is the best campaign in Warhammer 3 and it's not even close. I played it with the lore mod and that got me really immersed in the campaign. You trully feel like a Khan ravaging through the map. Also Nurgle has the best looking units and that helps a lot.
>>499652686I'll do it for the story. I love quest battles and there is a lot of them in ROC. I also only play Chaos Dwarfs on taht campaign.
>>499565995The only time Orcs have had crossbows (at least 4th edition onwards - literally nobody cares about 1st-3rd edition) were Ruglud's Armoured Orcs, a mercenary unit that showed up in Waaagh! Grimgor for Storm of Chaos, and in the 6th Edition Dogs of War army list. Honestly they'll probably be like the slayer pirates - Ruglud as a RoR and generic crossborcs as a standard unit.
>>499652961Yeah that's a of a deep cut.I think I have a few of them around somewhere, from my dad's collection.They are odd in that the standard bearer appears to be a small orc, not a goblin.Later re releases of the set corrected that
>>499653679Kind of a deep cut*
BASED YINYIN
>>499654062think fast, bitch
>>499654062In theory we will get all the Dragons mentioned in the province commandments plus Monkey King.
>>499652703Trying it for the first time now and I'm not a fan of the beginning so far. Same for the only other Nurgle faction I've tried, Epidemius. H/H and even not on max difficulty on turn I'm finishing Kolek just barely on turn 15. Nurgle just feels so weak so far but I might not be playing them right since I'm used to bretonnia, dark elves, kangz, and skaven
>>499654960Li DaoYin YinMonkey KingMaybe we get all 3 but 1 will have to be FLC.
>>499651309>Your parents and literal god show up in disguise>throw them down a well out of malign stupidityjustchinesethings
I honestly don't want the Monkey Kang. Better if they stick to dragonsI hate monkeys.
>>499656257This anon will now have to play a monke-only monkey king campaign
>>499656257I don't want chink shit in general since I will never ever play that faction. Kislev is already an aesthetic I don't like and feel too high fantasy though I still gave them a try, Cathay is that plus it just feels like pandering to the Chinese market.
Fucked up my Elspeth campaign by not getting a foundry early enough, now it's turn 23 and looking like I won't be unlocking the amethyst armoury until around turn 30. What really pisses me off is I can't even see what's in it until I have one, the wiki doesn't have a page for it and the first two pages of googling don't reveal anything.
>>499656858Check your mission tab my dude
>>499656257Black Dick Bing Bong selling a trillion copies guarantees us getting Monkey King at some point.
>>499656968Not seeing anything useful there. I just wanna know what options it has so I know whether it's worth restarting this campaign or just playing Gelt instead, I think someone said it has something like Ikkit's nukes which would be cool.
>>499657467You would have known to build the foundry if you checked your missions. BAKA
>>499657779It's not that I didn't know to build the foundry, it's that I was running at a loss or close to it until I took Sylvania and just couldn't afford something that wouldn't be immediately useful.
>>499655021Nurgle's recruitment means your start is going to be slow. Tamurkhan alleviates this somewhat by being so strong and getting chieftain units that aren't tied to the summon pool, but even min-maxing with plagues and such it'll take a bit to get a full army that's not just maraudermanii/nurglings. However once things get rolling you can shit out a stack in one turn, and leveled Nurgle Daemon Princes can solo armies when properly equipped.
>>499658331>see that pic after a big battleNice. Replaying Tamurkhan currently.
>>499565995Early 3rd ed:https://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=ORC1_Orc_Crossbows
>>49965709595% of sales were in Qina where the state paid for them. It was almost as bad as BG3.
>>499659860Doesn't it ever feel like a bit of a stomp? Have you ever even felt adversity or challenge during your campaign?
Imagine a game that lets you play as the final boss.
>>499660091Woah there, you can't just ask a singleplayerfag that. It'll make him cry.
>>499660404Dont make me post a tree BITCH
>>499660747Aiieeeeee mercy!
>>499660747I play MP campaigns, not quick battles. I love trees.
>>499660091"A bit of a stomp" is good. "Too much of a stomp" is not.
>>499660957The only good victory is a pyrrhic victory
>Slayer Pirates units>Orc Crossbows unitsYup, that totally confirm Manflayers as aunit in the Delves DLC.Probably with Mengil as a character
>All Chaosmanii get Sword/shield>Nurgle gets Great Weapons>Tzeentch gets Halberds>Slaanesh gets Whips>Khorne gets Dual Weapons>Khorne also gets Halberds for some reasonExplain this
>msi afterburner didn't launch at windows startup for some reason so my undervolt didn't apply>mfw my gpu instantly starts melting on the campaign mapwhat the fuck man
>>499662481Orc spears into greenskin DLC Grave guard halberds into VC DLCBut no one wants to admit that
>>499652439Vilitch is good on RoC, I don't like the bastion battles and then conquering wei jin before the 60 other Cathay settlements on IE. As Vilitch you just dab on Daniel, conquer Norsca, then terrorize the Empire, iirc you can then rift hop over to Cathay and the Dark Lands to fight a solid variety of enemies. Tzeentch isn't that fun against Helves or Delves or Lizards imo anyway so you're not missing much, a Kairos campaign will have you fighting lizards and Kangz and Asur ad nauseum if you want that anyway.N'kari without fighting the Twins is just awful, although I'm not a big fan of his donut start either.
>>499662794I have the gpu undervolted and temp set to max 77 celsius beacuse of this game. It always maxes the temps on campaign map....Funny thing tho is temps insta fall below 50 degrees when it's loading in or out of map. I think this game will break my gpu.
>>499664937No DLSS because CA is a small company tho!
Is the dwarf engineer better as a shotgunner or sniper?
>>499662486ok now who gets what for chosen? i'll wait
>>499665781Sniper. AI knows hot to close distance now.
>>499665781He's shit as either, so sniper because you get to buff artillery
I really just want to play with landships, maybe I'll just go Franz. Would be nice to have an actually good starting province.
https://youtu.be/SfDxpP2iGvU
>>499664232Nkari roc start pos is very comfy I disagree. Kugath has a fucking miserable start. Festus is sorta chill with the uninvadable albion.I’m actually looking to do a clean Kairos RoC with the patch. Just cuz’.
>>499665781Neither option can kill jackshit. So go sniper as the other anon said.
>>499665781He's there to buff your missile units be it artillery or what not. He himself hardly does any damage.
>still no grey hag LL
Your top 4 factions for TW Warhammer 40k.Mine are:1. Death Guard2. Imperial Knights3. Adeptus Mechanicus4. Sisters BattleI swear to god if this 4 factions aren't in the game I will lose my mind.
>>499670140Just let Hellebron dry up for a few hours and you'll have one!
>>499670140Ostankya doesn't count?
>>499670683*Sisters OF Battle
>>499670683I actually like the Tau and Necrons but there's no way they'd be in the first game, don't care that much about any others.
>>499670683For me, it's>Word Bearers>Emperor's Children >Tau>Sisters of Battle
>>499671045Do you think they will do the same thing as they did with Warhammer games so far, making a three part map?
>>499670683Going off what I used to enjoy from DoW:1. Tau2. Imperial Guard3. Dark Eldar4. Sisters of BattleI also liked Orks and Craftworld Eldar, but only aesthetics-wise. In practice, I didn't like their playstyle that much. In 2, it was mostly Imperial Guard with a side of Eldar and Orks, but everyone was alright.I also like some specific marine chapters, loyalist and traitor, but as a whole, not my thing.
>>499671391Oh and I'd very much like to see how Mechanicus plays, I enjoyed their game a lot.
>>499670683I really, really, really hope that different orders will have different mechanics and units with different roles. >Iron Hands>Raven Guard>Blood Pact>Armageddon's Steel Legion
>>499670683The ones I want are 100% sure to be in if this fever dream even comes to be.
>>499671352Probably, Mortal/Immortal Empires are by far the most popular maps in the Warhammer games.
would you fuck drycha
>>499671997Yes.
>>499624265Beastmen chariots fuck. Only tomb king chariots can really compete.
>>499671997Assuming she wouldn't mangle me afterwards, yes. She is a dryad however so that is canonically not happening.
Here's your Gor-Rok AoS copypaste
I just don't want the Eldar in game 1 or as an opening faction. I don't think CA can make them right because what I imagine them playing as is the furthest away from the current Total War formula. You can basically ctrl c ctrl v Ikit Claw or Elspeth and get the Tau so the AI will suck shit at it, Space Marines can be WH3 Ogres but more ranged, Orks are Greenskins but more ranged, Chaos Space Marines basically Ogres (evil), but the fucking Eldar if CA goes too hard will be like deadlier, sneakier, faster Wood Elves with teleportation that don't care about any forests so too fucking annoying as an opener and I don't want to deal with this shit at the very start of the 40k Total War
>>499671997not my type when it comes to wood elves
apparently drychas campaign is fucked and I cant end my turn, or save, or move my armies at all
>>499672906Send it to Legend
Why are lizardmen so ass
>>499672771We need a "good guy" race besides humans and Tau are too divisive to be a starting faction, you're getting Eldar.
>>499673104you are getting Leagues of Votann and you will like it (and buy the minis)
>>499673067yes
>>499672412So, is that Gor-rok or just a copypaste character? Because I saw it earlier but it didn't say.
I played 8 hours today
>>499673104I think it'll be spess muhreens and IG, they'll play differently enough. Mechanicus and Knights come as a later DLC and can supplement those armies. Maybe Sisters or Custodes eventually. Could Tau warrant 2 to 4 DLC's with a sufficient base game army?
>>499673301Nah its an OC Saurus Sunblood named Kro-Jax
>>499673632>>499673632>>499673632MOVE
>>499673104Mechanicus
