I agree it's good to rush Grimgor, but you may want a few extra Chaos Dwarf Warriors if you're still learning the game. They will outclass everything Grimgor brings except for black orks, but that's what shotguns are for.
Did you give up or are you still fighting?

Assume another trilogy. You always need at least 1 big good and 1 big bad race per game.
Warhammer 40k 1 can have Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines.
Warhammer 40k 2 can have Eldar and Dark Eldar.
Warhammer 40k 3 can have Tau and Tyranids.
Lots of races and factions to work with if Warhammer 40k Total War does come to fruition.
>>
>>499900140
Legit points, your settlements still look like shit (i.e arena squalor) even if you made all the upgrades and sure that city is prospering.
You are on the Spearmanii as well (I blame M2TW on that). RTW on the other hand had many spearmaniis yet many of them felt distinct.
>>
>>499886983
hmmm what's a bloodspeaker? google only show aos minis
>>
>>499901035
I assume we will get daemons at launch due to the large amount of assets already made for 3.

Space Marines are a given, Chaos space marines probably 99% because they can just add spikes, tentacles and eyes to the models.
>>
I don't believe marines will be a playable faction. More like an hero unit imo.
>>
>>499901143
I never cared about the spearmanii problem because i almost exclusively played norsemen, so 90% of my army is axemen and swordmen. I counter spearmen with my army comp, which lets me beat 3 armies at once, and that's fun. I've had Housecarls get 1k kills in melee
>>
>>499901372
If this was old 40k, that'd be correct. But now marines are so fucking common and abundant, they're their own faction and not some rare/secret special elite force to aid imperium anymore. They'd have like primaris being shit like heroes instead.

If you destroy the first army, the waaagh reinforcements have so little leadership they just run away if you snipe their commander.
>>
>>499901035
Each game of the trilogy might be inspired by certain events from the lore.
For example, if the first game is about Tyranid invasion in Ultramar then you'll get Space Marines, Tyranids, Tau and some other race (Necrons or Aeldari)
The second game could be inspired by Armageddon wars: Astra Militarum, Orks, World Eaters, Grey Knights
And the third game will be about 14th Black Crusade of sort aimed at Terra itself. Chaos Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, Adeptus Custodes etc.

I figure if you want to use high tier units you really need to be maximizing growth in your starting province from the very beginning.

Don't forget they can ambush enemies in their standard movement stance. Which was given to Aleaf and that alone makes him one of the strongest high elf factions. Only being set back by that he can't even have green territory in Ulthuan.

Alright further further update, I'm about 35 turns in and have 2 and bit provinces. The great Grimgor menace has been stopped for now, I managed to wipe out Grimgor's infinite armies with Astragoth but it came will the small downside of my entire army dying. My only ally so far has been Tamurkhan and together we managed to bring Grimgor down to one settlement. Then the fucking vampires and another chaos dwarf faction declared war on me and began taking my home province so I had to rush back whilst Maggotman got raped by Boris so we didn't have a chance to fully wipe him off the map. I hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass. So far all I can say is the unit cap sucks and the only real fun I've had is in the smaller scale fights, probably a skill issue on my part but even 20vs20 ends up crowding the screen and blocking blunderbuss shots.

He also tried to cancel Legend for being a Fascist years after Legend already toned down what he says and became more careful and wholesome for his audience. He did this just because he felt underappreciated, because even reddit likes Legend now, but still hates Volound.

If you're a dinoautist you'd already own Silence so its clear you dont, and the lizard units aren't really anything special anyway. The Oracle is nice as a pocket healer and trogs are "okay" at single entity sniping but nothing is really groundbreaking.
For beastmen its a big deal for access to their monsters they've been missing since they first released.
TK gives you a whole new faction but its much more different from every other one and has fallen to the wayside since they released due to power creep.
I'd say get TK just because its the most expensive and lets you try new mechanics. All face-off DLCs are there to sell you stuff for factions you want to enjoy already and since you dont own Beastmen already, I'd avoid Silence.

>>499934025
Shade's are good enough in melee that with redline you can viably run an army of them. Get the Greatsword varient since they have AP melee and bonus vs infantry, and snipe large targets before they engage in melee. Soften up dangerous melee units with magic.
Congrats, you've got an army capable of fighting most lategame armies by like turn 10.

For Malekith you can keep the sharts, it doesn't matter too much since once you get his dragon and magic he'll be killing half the enemy army on his own.

>Damaging armies is basically completely useless because of replenishment existing and no population mechanics
Assault Unit/Garrison lets you outright win otherwise impossible battles.
Replenishment doesn't keep up with it, and the AI doesn't know how to counterplay it. You can park a hero outside a fully garrisoned settlement and just assault it every turn to lock down all the parked lords. And when you finally roll up their entire unit will be at 1% HP.

It has "one" ending but repurposed for each playable faction quite well.
Maybe because of the monk manuscript artstyle which goes very well and actually quite easy to read (looking at you R2TW).
Anyways, Charlemange DLC is quite fun and they even bring back some Med2 mechanics for experimenting. They shouldn't have gone with the SAGA gig but made Britannia a DLC for Atilla, however taxes ain't gonna evade themselves.

I mean yeah you can get Urannon Thunderbolt and that one metal magic buff.
Also incediary on fire mage is good.
But Empire Wizard can get their magic cost and cooldown lower than their elven counterparts also that tech that lets you have more winds of magic per turn without going to channeling stance is busted. Which makes them better casters.
Archmage is still better but shes a lord

Norsca is strangely enough one of the strongest factions in the game, their port income is insane, tons of boosts to everything, and their units are all mostly good (except Fimir) so you can do whatever, even if Wulfrik encourages marauders/mammoths and Thorgrim wants you to do ice trolls.

James Workshop doesn't want you to know this, but Thorgrim realised the Dwarfs are screwed and he uses powerful rune magic to disguise himself as Throgg, an ice troll, to try and earn money by robbing random people.

Shogun 2 taught me the smartest way to win is to win with the least amount of effort.

You could play naval battles manually and lose your mind because of AI spam or you just spam Kanko Marus/Nanban trade ships.

You could spend half an hour each turn on siege defence every turn or you just place 2-4 Shogitai everywhere, who can easily kill a full stack with the least amount of effort.

You could have an extremely grindy campaign or you just stop conquering shortly before you reach Legendary Fame and build up your economy and a large war chest.

Don't blame Warhammer for something that Shogun 2 taught us the hard way.

>>499958625
>>499958818
Personally my rule is if it's valiant defeat It's at least winnable. Then again you need to look at the roles of their units and the roles of yours. If you see a variety of matchups you could work in your favor you can pull out a win. Or alternatively if you see no real way to kill a certain unit, you can take the autoresolve win.

>Composition
Composition people are poor generals and the first guys to auto resolve no matter what. They play boring armies and have boring battles because they only use 3 units in a 33 unit roster. That's not strategy, that's logistics pulling up with the best units is not a tactic. The best generals can win despite having bad units.

Plus it's warhammer and armies look objectively better when diverse.

>>499960846
Anon you don't have to. You just have to know the basic roles units in these game have and group them accordingly. Here take a look at my army. It was randomly generated, BUT the groupings based on shared roles I have in my army.

>Group 1 is my ground melee infantry. They're slow, they fight in melee, they can't fly. That's all that matters. I swarm these at whoever they can reach
>Group 2 is my flying melee. They're fast, they fly, they fight in melee. That's all that matters. I send them at archers or other easy isolated targets
>Group 3 is my ground ranged. They're slow, but they shoot so I line these guys behind the melee infantry and see if they can't shoot something.
>group 4 is ground cav. They do the same as flyers, but they can't fly. They can cap stuff rather nicely though.
> group 5 is skirmish cav they annoy melee targets
lastly I got a IH there who shoots and casts spells, but can get show down rather easily.

I just narrowed down a 20 unit army into a "6 unit" army without compromising manpower. If I need a specific unit to move I can move them, but if I need a general role's help I can move the entire group. Remember that units in general work best when they work together.

Who gives a fuck? They're my biggest group. I have groups 2,4, and 5 working their way to mess around with anything shooting. Worst case scenario I move my MI out of range or better yet the one who took all the damage.
>But they get le sticky cav!
Choose your fights. That's why fast units are fast. think about numbers and then think about specialties like anti-inf or anti large. As long as you have enough oomph to get that unit to try to avoid you you can retreat before the spears arrive. If I have a cav group that's two guys strong Im not going to send them into the group of spears. Im going to chuck them at the archer unit far away from MI protection and make off like a bandit when support comes.
>BUh buh that unit isn't the most accurate!
Ok? Is it firing? Is it in danger of NOT firing? Does it need protection or to run away? All you need to care about is if it's shooting. Once it's done and out of ammo you throw it in the melee horde because that's all it's good for then.

You're better than this anon.

Autoresolve just gave me a decisive defeat as wood elves against Ikit Claw and I managed to turn it into a pyrrhic victory with only 2 units lost (1 got nuked I think).

either intercept it with your own cavalry or position your spearmanii so that it can't actually get to anything it would want to without running into your spears. really the entire game is about taking good trades while only presenting bad ones to your opponent.

>Another problem is that you rarely get favorable terrain and if you do, enemy will just take defensive position.
That's fine. You need to adapt. That's what random armies forces you to do anon: adapt. Your strategy should be determined by the units you have, not the other way around. With most LFA ranged units you're going to have to put them in an area where they have targets, but not far enough away from melee units. Rarely will you get to choose your target so just line them up and get fishing.

>enemy cavalry
1. Pay attention. If you see an enemy with cav you make sure you know where they are at all times. You can pause the game for this.
2. Don't let your ranged units too far away from melee units. Any melee unit will do, cav, inf but make sure they are close and can get there in time.
3. move the ranged unit AWAY from the attacking cav while moving your melee meat shield TOWARD them.
4. Ideally large units work poorly in trees so while you want ranged units out of trees for obvious reasons, you also want the melee engagement IN the trees.

>>499979516
I did, but the thrilling promise of fighting a settlement defense map and winning is too strong. Yet even that never happens. In the very rare instance you get to fight one that isn't an obvious stomp, it's just aggravating as fuck. How did CA design the settlement battles to suck so hard no matter which side you're on? If they'd just made the streets like twice as wide and the cities not a clusterfuck, the maps could be okay, but they'd also have to change the AI to attack if it's not a decisive victory, and garrisons just don't have the flexibility for the 5 or 6 paths the enemy can take. And the AI would rather just spitefully kill off one of your units than win the battle anyway

To me they all have 1 charge for the start of the battle and that's it. And hence upgrades to them (like Tamurkhan's +2 charge) don't exist for me. /blog

That panel sucks for telling you about the lord and campaign experience imo. Cylostra for example has an ability not listed, maybe two? Belakor's unique manifestations aren't listed, I could go on. Kostaltyn even gets a bound fireball too I think (or that may be from a mod).

Anyway Teclis's campaign sucks because of the start location, Kairos is a pain in the dick and then you want to sail away to do shit but then one of the friendly lizards declares war because the game thinks you're getting bored. Try him on Old World or with a change starting settlement cheat, he does eventually get quite strong.

You should lose on purpose to Vilitch, since he's a Warriors of Chaos faction you actually can get him to vassalize you.
If you do you get lots of cheat bonuses for being an AI vassal because the game treats you as if you ARE an AI despite being a player
So basically the higher difficulty you're playing on, the more bonuses you get for being vassalized by the AI
Just remember, you have to let them beat you in order to do it, just keep feeding him armies and settlements and he'll eventually send you a vassalization demand

Honest question, I haven't played TW2 in so long now. What are the critical differences between siege battles between 2 and 3? The main thing I remember is there's no supply mechanic in 2, right?

Not being able to take settlements is a huge problem because other factions will colonise the ruins after you raze everything. Then when those other factions get rich off of your work, they declare war on you forcing you to start all over. This was a huge problem with WoC, beastmen, and norsa before their reworks. I don't see how hordes will ever be fun other than a Nakai or Changeling implementation where you can still control settlements indirectly (Nakai) or are fucking invincible (Changeling).

I know from reading this it's literally the same start as Kraka Drak (I mean it's literally the same province) since I played that mod a lot in 2023 and that's how you did it. CA should have unfucked the norsca map and added other Kraka/Norse Dwarf buddies to suck your dick, like Kraka Dorden, to add strategic levels. Oh well.

Was just thinking this. I would love to replay any of those 3 factions you've mentioned but actually raze and keep shit destroyed. Reminds me of the horror of doing Norsca in TW2 where you raze a bunch of settlements in the Empire but sometimes a random Empire army will spawn in the Empire lands and start taking settlements, even if their faction went extinct. Wild shit. I think Franz had to be wiped out to stop the other Empire factions from respawning.

Ever play Norsca in 2? Guessing not, very few people actually have. And I'm sadly one of said few who actually finished their campaign. It'd be non-Franz armies that'd randomly spawn in over time to retake their lands even though they were destroyed, as in, the faction is gone, no longer in the diplomacy window, then they reappear. Very half-assed, as usual for CA.

The Rise of the Republic DLC for Rome 2 starts with Camillus returning to Rome in the war against Veii, it's pure Ab Urbe Condita kino and features Rome going from hoplites to the famous maniples.

>>
>>500005867
Easiest tactic is probably just to say fuck the north after taking out your initial hostile foe and expand towards karak dum and into the darklands. Alternatively you can try and go north and fight the Chaos factions right away and try and save/build up Boris as an ally.

The trap is to try and aggressively take over Norsca, you'll end up with like 10+ factions declaring war on you and Kislev/Empire won't ever send shit north to help you. It's very annoying trying to wrangle your settlements back from so many stacks. But Malakai and Gyrocopters are kinda bullshit so if you abuse the right things you can just do whatever you want and win any battle. I found saving boris to be a good method even if it limited my early expansion for a while, by not expanding so quickly less factions declared war on me.

They probably should have kept Kraka Drak and put him in Karak Dum instead. But I like the Kraka Drak start, it's just just playing as Malakai I wouldn't feel motivated to defend Kraka Drak since Malakai isn't a Norse Dwarf. Literally not my problem.

For sure 2. 1 is a decent option, and you get to appreciate the changes from 2 and then 3 even more. Starting 3 is 'okay', especially if you don't have the patience or don't think you'd care for these games much. 2 is also finished, so no more updates and no save bricking. Not the case for 3.

Haven't tried it, and never will. To me it makes sense at least for very large structures to not be replaced. Say you take over a huge Dawi stronghold, a fuck-huge amount of work/stone/metal etc, then what, your faction think it wise to destroy it and replace it? Unlikely. Anything detailed would take far too much time/work for CA and for a game like this, too (e.g. a settlement slowly transitioning from old faction to current).

Legend hated Warhammer I though and only started liking it with II, because it's basically the same game, but gets constant updates and more content.

Karl Franz has the potential to be one of the most broken campaigns, Electorial Machinations are too strong (+1 pop every 3 turns means you have t4 Altdorf around turn 30) and when upgraded get even stronger (same-turn local and global recruitment, 1.5 levels worth of XP to a general, immediate purge of corruption etc.).

After TOD we've been getting more hotfixes than ever during Warhammer together with big patches with reworks to systems and races in between as more reworks are planned and revealed in the interviews, and a big part of the team was fired in April just as ToD released or they were diverted to other projects, of which there's at least 3 we know of (historical TW, fantasy TW, aliens 2). Also summer holidays. In addition Sophia isn't involved, from the interviews we know for certain only that one single guy went physically to UK to discuss Khorne overhaul, and even if Sofia were there it'd only slow shit down until Sofia gets the entire DLC. CA would have to waste time explaining to them how the spaghetti works and discuss a plan on how to get this done without creating Norsca-like merging issues. November release is very swift considering everything.

Just remember there's one near Mordheim and one near the Southern Wastes. Open one in Albion at first, then do whatever you want, but Bretonnia will absolutely want to screw you over so keep than in mind. Wulfrik might also, Dark Elves/Cylostra as well. Albion will be under constant threat.
By the way Beasts of Nurgle are crazy good for Be'lakor, are underpriced and are unlocked very early. One Nurgle gift should absolutely be used for these. They're good to have in every single army.
>>
>>500035242

This post has been fact-checked by Nurgle Worshippers and it is completely true. There's no excuse to not be pumping them out unless you just don't want to use Nurgle stuff. When there's too many souls, you can remove and add the Beast gift for 1 more Beast cap instantly. It's still worth the asking price in souls.

Slaanesh vs High Elves vs Vamp Counts (or Dark Elves maybe). Dogs of War.

Slaanesh and 2 flavors of elf. Or Slaanesh, Vampire Counts (Neferata), and some flavor of elf. There's gonna be elves somewhere I'm sure.
>>
>>500036082
Weird, I was just about to ask this myself. Anyway for the next one it's virtually guaranteed that Slaanesh will be in as that's the only chaos god not to get one yet, and very likely to have Vampire Counts since they're the only core TWWH1 race to not get anything in 3 yet. As for the third, probably Cathay since CA shows such favoritism for them and there are still dragons to add.

The only difference between plague drones and furies is that flanking an (occupied) armoured unit puts out more pain

All i know is, there is no going back from Warhammer. CA cant just update the graphics of Med2 and try to resell as Med3. They not only have to match the factions/units/mechanics of WH3, surpass it.

I think Med3 has to cover from 800s to late 17th century to be as content rich as Wh3 imo.

Play Allarielle. Recruit dryads and do the rite that gives them regeneration. Also put 2 points into earth blood, 1 point into life bloom and 1 point to shield of saphery. Just spamming earth blood makes your army basically immortal.

No. Changing culture in Rome 2 is just as linear as changing religion or allegiance in Shogun 2, so like it always worked. In Attila it was completely different. Not only did you have local traditions, landmarks and osmosis influencing the religion of a province, but it wasn't as simple as subtracting the negative percentage modifiers of foreign religions from your positive modifiers and then that would be the pace at which the province turns to your religion. Instead every single modifier would guarantee that religion would remain at a certain threshold, which it would eventually reach. Changes to the modifiers would change the thresholds and change would happen again, until it was slowly balanced again. That's very different from anything CA or Paradox ever did before.

>>500044078
I am not hating on fantasy, I just want good historical Total Wars too.

>We all want Med3 or Emp2. But everyone knows a bad BIG historical title WILL kill TW.
Nah. People don't care anymore. There is no big outrage compared to Rome 2's launch, because historical fans have accepted the state of things. Medieval 3 would make a bigger wave again, but if anything that would be a good thing. You can only have outrage, if people actually buy your product and are disappointed. Not if they are apathetic. And people would expect CA to support Medieval for a long time with many additional DLC, because it's a big game. And Total War fans generally like games, which have a lot of support over the years, which is why people play Total War Warhammer now. It wouldn't be a good game, if it hadn't had 8 years development time, until it was finally good with Warhammer II.

I agree, recent Paradox games are good at heating up an interest to medieval period. I also agree that Bronze age is not for everyone, it's too niche. It's clear they are an experemental titles that CA also tried to sell as full fledged games, it was too transparent, a big mistake. CA just need to create a med3 with a good starter nations with diverse unit rosters and mechanics. Family tree is important, as well as a huge appropriate for a time period global map

Here's my thought, the thundermace is very good, but you can only really equipment it on 1 person, and as you get more armies that 1 person will be a smaller percentage of your overall battles

Or I used to I believe use a mod that basically like lowered some of the diplomatic maluses so that like long standing allies would tend to not betray you during realm divide so it wasn't just a complete "Oops now fight everyone"

>all 4 get mogged by Med 3
sad!
>>
>>500063204
Realtiy is that Med 3 wouldn't be so well recived. People of old Total wars are in minority they are just loud. If CA released Med 3 they would insta lose 50% or more of theire players.

Listening to him makes it clear he's an intellectual lightweight compared to ppl like volound and dishonorable daimyo. Instead of hammering the core arguments he's all empty platitudes like

it's a preparation check they just don't tell you about it so it will be a surprise when nobunaga turns into a demon. if you know not to break too many gourds the game becomes a lot easier.
>>
>>500063075
For some reason the settings people want the most are watered down Warhammies.

LOTR shits all over mug grimdark warhammer

Historoids got their history title and nobody plays it. Pharoh is the best historical total war game in last 10 years and look how many people have bought it. History titles simply aren't interesting anymore.

>>500064586
I don't disagree with that but from a gameplay perspective, LotR Total War would just be Warhammer with less in it.
>>
>>500064708
>a warhammer light game is the best history title in years
I bet you consider Troy and 3K history titles as well
kys
>>
Pharoh is not set in a dog shit time period. If anything going through 800-1800 period again would be so boring. We've done that, nobody wants it anymore.
>>
Everybody wants Med 3
Which should just be Med 2 with better graphics, native mod support, borderless windowed and most importantly LESS JANK

Medieval 2 is overrated as fuck. Med 3 would be cool, not because Med2 but because we'd get a new main-line Total War game that's not a saga and that's not a sloppy, rushed, inferior reskin of Rome1
>>
>>500066089
I skimmed it and they're nerding out about Warhammer at large, not only Total War.

>>500068036
Then explain why they spoke about characters they want to return to AoS? What areas of the Warhammer world get more fleshed out by TOW? Why spend 20 minutes talking about how they had a crazy game of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?
Also at 1:42:40 Andy starts moaning about how the empire is too white, I will not dignify it with any more attention as I will not legitimize a wishlist of never evers and discussion of things unrelated to Total War.

That's exactly what Queek would say.

>>500068902
No, actually, I don't think Queek would ever say that. Honestly it kinda sounds opposite to everything Queek usually stands for.
