How tf was CA not shutdown after wasting hundreds of millions on HYENAS? The fuck is wrong with Sega? Need them to pump out more DLC slop for dead pc games?
>>500781556You think that's bad? Read up "concord".
>>500775754My biggest gripe when I tried him was the additional resources (scripts?) you needed in addition to grimoires and good to upgrade cults and technologies. Dont know why they felt the need to do that instead of just leaving grimoires
You know, I think it's time to do lizards again
Is there good Nakai mods?
>>500783537https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3034876738
>>500781556because 40k is going to print money
>>500783537https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2896555450Though I'd reccomend the complete pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790060570 They just give vanilla LLs that last little push for army unit comps or gives a semi-generic lord skills to make him stand out (COUGH COUGH, ALBERIC, COUGH COUGH!)
>>500784430thanks I can't play without it like Alberic making everyone's a woodman
>turn 40 as Draxhoath>think I've finally stabilised after killing Helman>Grimgor declares war on me with his 20 settlements, at least 7 armies and a waagh for good measureI cannot help but feel he's a bjt overtuned.
>>500786545Why the fuck are you going after Ghorst as Drazhoath?
>>500786545gotta buck break grimgor early, his first waagh isn't as scary because he only has 2-3 armies
>tomb king tech is 14 turnsso which one am I supposed to pick then?
Is this dumb or genius? I'm trying to think of ways to use the new ogre merc troops.Maneater pistols compare very well to thunderers even when accounting for unit sizes. I know you can do this with alliance troops as humans can shoot over the heads of dwarfs quite well but A. ogres are even taller and B. I've had the Empire throw a fit before when I go to do the High Elf grudges meaning I lost all my human gunnersNaturally I'd be boosting the hell out of the ogre pistols with master engineers
So when is that WH3 DLC coming? Why does it take Britdongers a year to churn out a DLC with like 13 reskinned units?
>>500787178Rumo(u)red to be delayed to early next year. CA had to cancel their previous DLC plans to make this instead.
>>500787178Warhammer is doomed when it comes to DLC, even the newest Space Marine game is getting less than crumbs.
>>500787283>>500787324Geeze, I hope they develope faster
>>500786641Ghorst declared war on me first. I think he was made about the minor ogre faction I killed. The thing is they randomly declared war on me to.>>500786708It just wasn't possible this time. It's stupid how every single run without fail Grimgor beats everyone nearby. I have to fight a battle with my weakened hobgoblin army to capture a settlement, if that fails I'm just playing a new campaign.
>>500786915I would suggest a 3rd dynasty. Lord there cuts time needed for buildings to build by 35%, as well as a price reduction for capital buildings with a nice +2 to control.
>>500786545nobody here knows how to beat the Chorfs without cheesing the game and powergaming because that is all they ever do, then they cry that the game 'is over on turn 40 because you've already won'. That is the kind of community you've got here. That is, the ones who aren't underage and running dozens of ineptly made mods.
>>500786915the real minmax thing is to research for 13 turns and switch to another
>>500787178twg still pretends lords of shang yang wasn't real lmao
Pivotfags still being retarded lmao.
>>500787925thank you for correcting the record, saar
i save scum when i lose good units in unloseable battles due to not paying attention
>>500789130No need to save scum, there's a button to replay battle from the start.
>some races are allowed to start with good units>some new DLC lords start with several good units, often later ones, so you get to use them early and have some variety>meanwhile Kangs get nothing of value and have mostly just t0 skeletonsIt feels so unfair and boring to start with just a single skull catapult and regular skeletons, or like Wulfhart with mostly pure t0 shit without value like base spearmen and archers and one Huntsman and War W*gon. Who thought it was a good idea?
>>500790427Arkhan used to start with scorpion, Khatep with hierotitan and Settra with warsphinx if I remember correctly. They took them all away for some retarded reason.
>>500790536they took away nearly all t5 starting units
>>500789130I just start a new campaign whenever I lose a battle or units I didn't want to lose
>>500790631Scorpion is t3.
>>500791312i never said it wasnt
>>500781556>he thinks hundreds of millions is a lot...
should i play tree hitler or incestuous arahan?
>>500787696I have no clue what cheese people use but their campaigns feel really difficult. It feels like a neverending struggle where every time I finally conquer an enemy someone new shows up and kicks my teeth in. It's sucks cause I really like their units.
>>500791909the ai is extremely predictable in declaring war on youyou have to meet them, neighbour them, and then in diplomacy they have the red triagle signalling they fear you, then they declare warthe ai also declares war if you aren't in any or very many, another stupid mechanic
>>500786545Level up Lightning Strike and/or employ ambushes to deal with main army only
Nope, still not coming back. Haha sorry just won't do it hehe.

>>500781556it wasn't release so they got some of the cost back through a tax write off
>>500792328The problem I face is I end one war only to get immediately plunged into another without any respite.>>500792517How do I get successful ambushes? After this campaign goes tits up I'll give chorfs a rest. It's really tiring to play like this.
>>500794113>the ai also declares war if you aren't in any or very many, another stupid mechanic
>>500794113Predict where enemy is going to strike and sit down in ambush stance? Place an army in recruit/forced march stance to make it more appealing. You can improve your odds with technology
>>500793412It's TCAL.
wth i just came back because its november to get the dlc and its not out?twg said it was coming october, what happened?
>>500794763It's coming out December 24th as a gift from the people of Tawpia.
hi i was in a coma for the last 30 yearsdid warhammer kill total war yet?total war bad btw and i dont suck dick
>>500796137remember when histosois said warhammer tw could never work and now they are saying 40k would never work for the exact same reason?meanwhile all they got was sagaslop that gets like 20 people playing itlmfao what losers
>Campaign AI should now use certain mechanics less frequently to align with intended design, including Book of Grudges units, Matters of State, Colleges of Magic, and Malakai’s Adventures.I guess that didn't include the redditor count units.
Wtf why doesn't my pool of heroes refresh?

>tfw clan rictus is finally dead
Is Arkhan's campaign still as shit as it was in 2 and is tomb kings expanded any good?
>PLay karl >control the empireAnd then what>Play Arkhan>Control ArabyAnd then what?>Play Miao Ying>Control CathayAnd then what?
>>500798772>>PLay karl >>control the empire>And then whattake over the ruined husks of bretonnia, kislev, and the southern realms
>>500798772And then you expand the Empire/Araby/Cathay.Or, alternatively, you play it friendly and instead make allies with the other order/undead factions and help them recover their lands without actually taking them yourself.
>>500790681I delete, redownload, reinstall the game and mods whenever I lose any unit or battle.

>>500803521I love those units especially in RTW BI due to their capes although their stats were inferior compared to actual Roman counterparts.
What's a good faction to learn the game with? I need to stop being a dumbass who relies on corner camping with artillery to force the enemy to come to them.
>>500805273huh, it seems I've remembered wrong, it's the General's Bodyguard Warlord unit that has the capes, not the Romano-British Legions.Still goes hard.

I feel bad for the lords who will start next to Skulltaker or Arbaal.
>>500806173Beastmen have an easy campaign but are also the opposite of that playstyle, you'll get to learn the value of connecting dogs and cavalry and other aggressive units to their squishy ranged units
>>500806173Which total war title? If it's Atilla when it comes to battles and you are good with micro it's the Horsefucker Archers.If it's RTW or Med 2 use hammer and anvil tactics, and not to forget to use terrain to your advantage almost every fucking time (especially against hoplites since they can't fight uphill quite well).In Atiilla, You need to take a risk sometimes and expose your missile infantry to get a good view from side so they can take down the enemy targets while they were combatting your melee troops.Burn the forests down when enemy inside with flame missile.Breaking off cavalry from combat is not advised in Atilla, they will get picked off.While Spearmanii can work in previous titles and 3K in some extend, it does not work quite well on Atilla if enemy has Axefuckers in their army.Place Cavalry on flanks.In FoTS, Empire, and Napoleon, Artillery and Missile Cavalry are the Kingmaker, as even low tier Musketmanii can hold the line unless there's a overwhelming force.3K? Just main Lü Bu bro.

>>500807974Pharaoh
>>500808130Sorry senpai, I haven't played any fantasy, and tax deduction Total War titles.But yeah, guess those tactics I've mentioned are applicable on Pharaoh as well.
Do you think that Kings paid tax?
>>500808117RTW's engine singlehandedly beats the spaghetti code of engine that Warhammer uses.Oh and the soundtrack.Jeff van Dyck mogs BEDdow in every way possible.
>>500809109They paid tribute to Emperors since they were vassals, so yeah they did.
>>500807486What do they play like, like do you spam cavalry or use magic?>>500807974Warhammer 3. Every faction I've played has been rush artillery and then used archers/guns to burn down opposing units.
After the last patch I have decided to start a full vanilla (without mods) chorfs VH/VH >realms of chaos campaign. I had finished the domination objective and collected all 4 + 4 relics. Sadly the last drill end battle keeps crushing when trying to enter the army view. Is there a way to resolve this issue?
>>500810492Beastmen are all offensive units, you move fast to occupy their frontline with yours and flank with a ton of even faster units like dogs and centigorsThey have a single archer and artillery unit but the whole army is fast and aggressiveUnits meant for flanking seem weak at first glance buthttps://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Flanking>Entities attacked from the rear received a -60% reduction in melee defense against these rear attacks.
Spoilt brat of a princess shows up at YOUR frontline and starts bitching you out for not having won the entire war already despite being only a border garrison. What do?
>>500811385I will not hear military advice from a w*man, war is mans business, she should sit in her tower and drink her wine while trve elves do things that matter.
>>500811595
>>500810492>Warhammer 3.see >>500808901
>>500787127That should still be a viable tactic, mounted riflemen shooting over regular riflemen in FotS for way more DPS on an incoming target was a genuine tactic for a reason
Afternoon /twg/, it's the potential divegrass caretaker again. There's still spots open for the /vg/ league signups, so I wanted to get a clearer gauge of interest from the thread if I were to try signing us up, since Proof of Interest is required. (Or better yet, someone steps up to manage)Some people were skeptical last time, so here's my most recent Elspeth campaign, roasting vampire bitchasses (and orcs, so many orcs) with mass guns and arty. Pharoah looked like shit so I didn't get it.

ugh, what could have been....
How do you fix the problems of campaigns being too hard at the beginning but then mindnumbingly easy once you stabilize after turn ~30 or so?
I hope that U'zhul Skulltaker isn't as overpowered as Tamurkhan.
>>500819998I hope he is but he starts right next to Tamurkhan so they kill each other

Is it worth using melee frontline as welves? I'm struggling to think of the situation in which I would rather take a spearmaniii instead of just another archer.
>>500820486Sure, here you go. Already blogposted a bit about Mannlet but have some more. It's always nice to have neutrals aid you (or vice-versa) in a common enemy. Finished Mannlet campaign in 40-something turns, not sure if I want to continue it. I keep forgetting how amusing vcounts can be, I built zero recruitment buildings, everything came from raise dead barring one Necromancer just to steal technology.
>>500821295Only early game when you need some spearmanii to hold shit down for your glade guard to shoot at. Later you either go full skirmish or full tree, so they're worthless

>rerolls the traitI'm a little surprised there isn't a trait-picker cheat, at least to keep daemon prince/sorc traits. I'm guessing it's too hard for cheatfags as those traits are technically not traits.
Reminder they need to rework all the generic traits besides Disciplined, Confident and Cunning and even some faction exclusive ones, lamost nobody will willingly take Aggressive, Strong, Intelligent and Knowledgeable if given the chance
Idea for dumbstack:>Thorek + grudge throwers>keep building and tearing down the deeps entrance halls until you roll the broken war machines blocker building (+10% missile damage for artillery factionwide)>do it in every settlement, Dwarfs can deal with the massive corruption just fine with a combination of lord skills, buildings and followers>end up with homing artillery that can one-shot everythingYou can also buff their range to something like 570 if you get the ancestor vault bonus and kill Zhatan
>reworks Knowledgeable to being a very useful and unique trait for spellcasters into one of the most useless traits possible instead of just doing what they did with shit like Administrator and Noble where it doesnt stack because faggots would spam those for cheese

There's a reason CA added the option to save and load characters from different campaigns
>>500831286Not that Anon but I did that in my WRE campaign via Sacking all of my settlements except Rome, Sicily, and Corsica.
>>500834365Replace some heroes with steam tanks. I know it isn't as strong or easy, but it's a great alternative. Reminds me, I've been meaning to replay Elspeth already. I finished her campaign way too easily and quickly, was just using low-tier units.

I don't know why they did it since Exalted Greater Daemons keep their trait and aren't even the same consciousness unlike Daemon princes.

>>500844225Nobody mentioned nermaids but you, and what?
>>500844252You don't have to say that, but thank you I could've sworn they looked different
>>500784065They abandoned hyenas at the 11th hour. We saw what looked like a mostly functional game and they killed it in the womb anyway. What makes anyone sure that they can get a 40k total war game green lit for launch? How would it play like? Dawn of war 1? They did show they can make a competent story driven campaign via the tutorial for wh3, so if I was SEGA, I would be pushing for them to make DOW4 and just remake DOW1 type combat. It doesn't have to be an amazing game it just needs to be fun and campy. That's all people really want.
>>500844949its nearly finished and its going to be classic TW:WH gameplay but 40k theme not fantasyi dont know how you can play WH3 and simultaneously claim you can't see how a 40k TW could work, aside from being some kind of butthurt age of shitmar or histosoi fangay
>>500846038Because more modern combat like that needs to play like Dawn of War and even then it looks weird
>>500846382>more modern combatoh, he's retarded
>>500846457Yeah like WW2 instead of Napoleonic>iCringe
>it's nearly finished>legend said
I just hope that they release the End Times expansion before moving on to the future of Total War.
>>500847156I agree that would be so cool, but there is no way they aren't releasing a new major total war by the end of 2025 at latest in the begining of 2026. Judging by how long it takes them to make a dlc now we have at best two more and than that's it.
>>500826303The Sourceforge page says there's malware in it, idk seems sketchy.

>>500849294They were... Sega canned it.
At this point I've probably played 2000+ hours of TW games across the series but am still fucking dogshit at battles. I turn every decisive victory into a pyrrhic victory, and every close victory into a loss.

>>500859196DESU, wait at this point.They don't need fixing, but might as well wait.
>>500859196Khorne's already in a decent spot, the rework probably wont do muchPlay him now, see how Arbaal/Skulltaker feel later
>>500859454At this point just play history titles while you wait, but judging spaghetti code of the engine, they will break another thing while trying to fix it.
GOD DAMNI hate that I can't actually play a Beastman campaign for long. I get bored fast.
>>500859961Yeah their playstyle is fun but the Taurox rework shifted their campaign from too hard to too easy
>>500859961CA unironically needs to nerf ambush chances. Or let AI move around in encamp stance like player can.
>>500861098You know moving in encamp stance is purely a convenience function, right? The stance is not applied until you end your turn. It was created so you wouldn't have to calculate how far you could move while keeping the amount required for encamping.

Like I still won, but in a very frustrating and unsatisfying way. I also genuinely do not understand what mechanic allows AI lords/heros to always attack, but the player models just stand around and do nothing. I don't get it.

I have a question.Shouldn't Daemon Engines like the Soul Grinders, Skullcannons, Blood Shrines, and Juggernaut cav units have the Hell-Forged trait?In the Fantasy universe, all Daemon Engines would have been created by the Chaos Dwarfs and sold to the other Chaos factions, right? So shouldn't they be repairable by a Daemonsmith?
I love ranged firepower so much bros.
>>500864825They aren't made by chorfs
>>500864825Soul Grinders are made in the Forge of Souls. Khorne's machines are built in house, dude has his own forges and foundries.

>>500862947>nearly dead minotaur unit with 0 killsthis hurts to look at
>>500865047Wow how originalWe never get a "I fucking love melee infantry" post
Mountainous maps with ravines are a potent weapons in the AI's hands. I literally got flanked by the Dwarfs as an army full of hobgoblins and couldn't even engage with my characters as I was attacking them because all of my archers kept rushing into melee and my camera kept getting stuck on a ridge. Also, had my first CTD of the patch (before there were none, even between versions like I'm playing now).
I like having my men stand in a line and pointing their long sticks at the other men.
>>500861342But you can just switch into encamp stance and walk into the ambush AI set up at the end turn. Thats the OP part.
>>500866197I fucking love melee infantry
katarin will step on you for 10 seconds but you get direct impacted by a dreadquake as soon as she leaves the blast radius. do you accept?
>>500866924All deals must include some form of consideration. What exactly do we gain from being stepped on by a woman and bombarded by a mortar?
>>500866924Counteroffer.Dreadquake on my face, and katarin steps on my corpse after.
I got banned on my favorite board so I guess I'll stay here for the next 3 daysIs drazaoth still bullshit hard?
>>500867108i understand. you may swap out katarin for aranessa and her peg leg if you require an even sweeter deal
>>500866924I'm a single entity hero so i accept.
>>500862786Yeah, every time I wanna try a more diverse army build and have fun, I immediately regret it. I just tried a bunch of wardancer (asrai spears), and a bunch of minotaurs blew right past them without issue to right click on all my archers. The solution? 19 waywatchers, which immediately swatted away the entire army. The problem is that warhammer is mostly a "pay to win" game, where the most expensive units easily ignore their "counters". There's no real rock/paper/scissors in this game. compared to historical titles where cavalry would always beat archers, and spears would nearly always beat large units, or at least trade immensely against them.
>>500866924I would if she sits on my and instead of getting dreadquaked she will suffocate me with her fat ass.

>>500870916>idle Katarin near a nurgle lord on the world map>"Slowest, weakest of daemons!"Fat bros...
In general, how much damage do you miss out on by not counter-charging infantry? Is it significant? When I'm defending I usually forget and let the enemy melee infantry crash into mine while they're standing still.
Wow, decisive loss my ass.I need more Gor Heards.
>>500855503Not showering for a couple of days IS a prayer to nurgle
>>500864316Nkari is funYou just have to pick nkari with the consolation that you're not playing for any other reason and it's genuinely fun to dart around and delete things
>>500871659it's really only good if they have 30+ cb otherwise it's not worth the time to micro them. especially don't do it if they are braced spears or have charge reflect.
>>500811385gently but firmly remind her of what faction I am playing by having a swarm of rats mating press her
>>500873190why is it always koreans?
>>500870960"charge defence vs large foes" does nothing, as most of the charging damage comes from mass impiact. All charge defense does is negate the enemy's charge bonus, so light and low-armour spear infantry like Asrai spears still get raped by just about everything They're a paper tiger and their stats only look good on the unit card. In battle they're pretty underwhelming

>>500874954lmao
>>500877195Is this the map where settlements are typically 3 turns away from eachother?
>>500874954HARNESS THE-THE POWAAAA
>>500874614that's because wardancers are basically slayers (elf), you let something else get charged then they flank, 0 armor and low melee defense are NOT meant to eat damage
>>500877195remind me what dookies are playableMalekith and his mom surely are not
>>500877585Based ESL.
>>500877195hellebron and rakarth didn't work properly last time i tried because their map gimmicks don't carry over but that was a while ago
>>500877585They are, but you have to use MCT to swap them in. They'll start on Albion with a black ark which is strong - ludicrously powerful with Malekith though since you can fill it up with sharts and spears for like 400 gpt total. All Druchii LL's start with a black ark on TOW which is fucking sick.
Malekith rework where he can become the pheonix king whence't?
>>500877790As Rakarth you're going to have to wait for the rites to get any monster units other than giant wolves for the first like 400 turns, why bother, you could just focus on hydras though.
>>500877897he cant become the phoenix king but he can be the benis king

>>500868737I always just cheese with cavalry because of this shitEven if you get the perfect charge it doesn't matter because you get caught and sometimes you just toss them without doing any damagePart of the reason I want non cavalry added to bretonnia like foot knights and herrimaults is because cavalry feels really bad to use unless it is on an enemy that is already hopelessly outmatched
What's the best overhaul for Rome 2?
Holy shit, Taurox with the crown is even more busted than taurox with the sword of Khaine.Now to go get the sword of Khaine.
>>500878575I've had success with cavalry by doing a horse sandwich on the enemy, split your cav charge with one group then charge the rear with the other. For some reason the damage goes exponential and the enemy dies in seconds
>2 skryre armies outside talsyn>Put Mel Gibson in ambush>Succesfully ambush first army>Second army attacks me, I'm ambushed nowFucking WHAT
>>500878748DEI is still the king. Yeah it's slow, yeah it has some odd mechanics that you might not want, just download the submods they provide for that very purpose. Para Bellum is pretty good too for the most part. Ignore War of the Gods and Radiouslop.

>>500879760H-how big is Taurox crown ? How long is his sword ? The Evercourt need more intel.
>>500880640You don't like the awful complete misuse and ruin of a basic mechanic? Doesn't make any sense, but it's forced on you! :^)
>eslloving every laugh
>>500882202Use your mobility advantage to split the enemy up, take out their mobile elements, then their ranged elements, then work on their lineholders
>>500867934>The problem is that warhammer is mostly a "pay to win" game, where the most expensive units easily ignore their "counters".which is why the game is unplayable without tabletop caps or a similar mod
>>500882379I know how to use them. It doesn't make it satisfying when they struggle to actually kill shattered units and their mechanics bug out.Why are you telling me things I know? Cheesing with cavalry as you described is the only real use for them because of how easy they are stuckThere is no other way to play them that doesn't result in them getting stuck and dying unless you have a single entity with an AoE who can get unstuck like Repanse
>>500882220Uhhhh...12 inches and 36 inches, like most minotaurs. He's just made of metal and very full of rage.
Had a cool battle playing as Lizardmen against a Vampire Coast army with at least 6 units of depth guard. I had 4 units of razordon hunting packs and they did good work against the depth guard. I know the razordons have armour-piercing missile damage, but I was still genuinely surprised at just how quick they deleted the depth guard.
>>500876417Imo they should lower the unit count for rot knights

>>500884437go buckbreak alarielle.
>>500884586Actually it's Eltherion that has the Sword of Khaine currently, which is a mildly tougher fight.
I find it bizarre and disappointing how WoC have nothing to stop people from retaking ruins off of them, yet, random beastmen herdstones make it impossible for anybody to touch the ruins around them and forces them away or to confront the herdstone itself. Doesn't help that vassals are (by CA's design) impressively weak, but also it'd be nice to play some ruins-heavy campaign as Chaos if you choose.
most normie opinions seem to be that skyre is op on account of>muh nukes>muh infinite ammo on ratlings which never run out of ammobut im pretty sure the monster lab, is what makes skryre units silly
>>500885096>but im pretty sure the monster lab, is what makes skryre units sillyI've been meaning to replay Throt, but how does his lab relate to gun teams? Thought you only got melee and monster rats from it and it doesn't buff or give mutations to ranged shit.
>>500885091In my experience if you actually consolidate Norsca/wastes first you'll EASILY be able to afford enough armies to cover the map, I had a Be'lakor campaign where everything south of Valkia was ruins (since none of those were dark fortresses, unexpectedly)
TCAL will collaborate with Studio Deen so Yin-Yin becomes an Aqua expy. Mark my words.
>>500885423well you can do shenanigans with RoRs tooso the basic is>stalk and vanguard on gun teams>60% hp back on your RoR hp back, plus models if possibleand besides the most OP part about ranged units is 3-4 embedded engineers
>>500885450>everything south of ValkiaIIRC Morathi's city of quintex or however it's spelt is a dark fortress, but yeah that should be it. But still nothing stops randoms from sailing across to start taking free ruins. As much as I like Chaos, I have a small dislike for Noscans and CA's aggressiveness on making defensive/military/vassal allies genuinely worthless is rubbing me the wrong way, it heavily limits how you can play. It's so bad where if you want someone dead, you be an ally of them, as the AI will the kick-in to be awful, passive, weak, and do stupid army movements over and over and will get wiped out eventually (if you don't help). Also disappointing how dark fortresses are mostly in the wastes or in Kairoslands, basically none elsewhere, and yet, ruins-campaigning is discouraged. Seems like the game should make defensive/military/vassal allies to be a much harder and expensive endeavour, but not make them shit the bed as it's polarising how rigged it is.

Oddly, Gor spam is kinda fun, not nearly as much as minotaur slaughter, but still.

>>500901858saar, one would assume that avid supporters of a person will also benefit-or at least enjoy-seeing him repeatedly get his way, perhaps it's the pot calling the kettle black saar
>>500902179Legend doesn't give a shit about mods as far as I'm aware, so no, you're the only one being insulted. That one guy posting that image really did mindbreak you lmao
>>500902114>mptrannydont care
>>500901885It's Mixu's Lords, modded.He's honestly the least egregious of the modded lords from that.
I wish, for once, my 90% ambush success chance wasn't foiled.
>>500902340Well the problem is is that it is misleading as it doesn't take into account the enemy gerenal's ambush defence, which could be 30% or something. This is why you actually want to get over 100% on your ambush lord so that way even if they do have defence it doesn't really matter.
>>500902286OK but I literally have gotten every single thing I want out of CA thanks to legend, I don't want hyenas, i don't want historyslop, i don't want chinkbaitI want WH3 DLC for the discerning white man until such time as 40k is ready and that's what is happening.I won.Legend won.Pajeet CA shills lost.
>>500902461yeah I know, I just been like 5 turns in that stance, for no other reason than otherwise I get whack-a-mole'd all over the map
>>500902597I don't want CA to make a 40k game, they should have let Eugen take a whack at it. A 40k game like Wargame would be kino as fuck.
>>500900584>1534x858I also take post-battle screenshots like that. Don't need to include the empty space all around. Sharex let's you choose region immediately.
>>500902625Fair enough. The AI 100% does cheat and see your army too though so keep that in mind. I think the best way to get ambushes is to have a bait army that has only 1 lord in march stance in it. My theory is that this juicy target overrides the AI's priority in dodging the ambusher.
>>500901203>not installing every content mod for every army and making them all compatible to make it the most unbalanced shitfuck nightmare of lore accurate bullshit to ever bear witness toDo you even like playing video games? Everything lore related should be put in regardless of perceived balance, which CA is incapable of doing themselves, so fuck it make the game a fucking free-for-all of OP and fun bullshit.
>>500883483I think it’s more to have it on-par with the Khorne and Tzeentch variants (even though Doom Knights still have no AP or anti-large).
>>500903190I wish Doom Knights got a bit of love. Considering their tier and weapons, not having the bonuses you mentioned is fucking weird.
These guys roll up to the club and slap your girl's ass, what do you do?
how many /twg/ players have never played a non-warhammer game? how many have never played a game older than rome 2? of those who have how many only played medieval 2?
>>500903248The fact that I’ve seen people say the reason they don’t have AP or anti-large is because they have a mix of spears, glaives and halberds is baffling. At the very least they should absolutely have anti-large in that case. But I’m the same in that as cool as they look I can never justify using them. Only about two dozen models, expensive as hell and they hit like a wet noodle. At least they’re not Screamer’s level of bad but for a faction that advertises itself as a ‘master of the air’ they’re not really that good at it.
>>500903665none, none, and NONE
>>500903665i played rome 1 when it was new and i never played medieval 2 because i thought knights were gaythanks for the poll
>>500903665I played Napoleon once, should probably give it another try.I've played Rome 1 (pirated) once but meh.Don't want to give CA any more money because I hate them so those are the only historical games I've tried. Might pirate medieval 2 at some point but not sure.I tend to not really like historical strategy games because I hate alt history in general. I like historical RPGs since they are sometimes low level enough to be plausible, but anytime there is a huge deviation I lose my immersion
>>500903665My first game was Medieval 1, I've played the entire series except for Troy and 3 Kingdoms. I actually liked Pharaoh, specifically Dynasties, I'm the guy that posted the other day about the Bronze Age Collapse being one of my favorite historical events. I also like the Warhammer games. Rome 1 is still my overall favorite, but that's definitely biased via nostalgia. I spent hundreds of hours playing Brutii GREEN IZ BEST and the Greeks in middle school. My friends and I mostly played stuff like Dawn of War because we could comp-stomp and the multiplayer was actually fun against people. We were also really big into Warhammer 40k, not fantasy. My first real exposure to Fantasy were the Total War games. Thank you for reading my blog.
>>500903665I am 41 years old and have been playing since Shogun 1My Dads friend brought it over for me because we used to talk about military history and shit

>>500904101Thanks. I hope it wasn't as bad as my 30th, that was during the lockdown and none of my friends came over, so I sat alone in my apartment and got drunk watching Kung Pow to cheer myself up.
>>500903668worse is they have a bad habit of getting stuckwhen they should be fighting like chariotsi want so hard for them to not suck in siege, and they just require so much babying

>>500904683>forgot a periodShit my bad that was two words.
>>500904532every single form of entertainment from my childhood has gone woke, i just avoid it where possible, hence why I will never start a kislev or cathay campaign.im also not a tableslopper so the sanctity of the lore isn't as big of a deal to me
>>500905008>im also not a tableslopper so the sanctity of the lore isn't as big of a deal to meThe issue is that they will 100% include femstodes and primarisI'll continue to enjoy old 40k but hate the new sanitized or woke shit. Same with other shit like star wars or WFB vs the Old World
>>500904532it needs only a few things to be correct>pick a world or some shit like armageddon>space marines should not be a faction, maybe like a single limited deployment unit>just make it based on the massed armies like the IG, the orkz, nids, >the corollaryhave it be heresy era so you can have horrifying amounts of space marines and titans smashing against each other, be the first TW since the changeling's grand theatres to use the entirety of these massive maps
>>500905008I was trying to think of something from my childhood that hasn't gone woke, and I think that Age of Empires fits the bill, but that's it.
>>500905230>space marines should not be a faction, maybe like a single limited deployment unitMake it like Epic where there was a combined Imperial faction working in tandem with one another. Guard supplemented by Sisters, Mechanicus, Marines, Knights, and Titans. All can be deployed together but have drastically different prices and upkeeps, potentially even unit limits. Of course people wouldn't like that, so the Imperium will be split up into probably Guard, Marines, Mechanicus+Knights and Titans, and Sisters+Inquisition so they can all be separate DLC's with dozens of their own DLC unit packs.
>>500905008>kislev and cathayI'm of similar attitude, but I've done one campaign (to long victory) in each, to solidify my thoughts on them. They're handhold and overpowered, and how they're done do not belong in TW or warhammer (especially Cathay), they're too simple and too 'clean', or too 'mary-sue'. And no it isn't political or racial, I don't care how they're notrussia or notchina. Some of the animations for Cathay LL (particularly in dragon form) are comically bad, such as some random transparent dragon coming in from nowhere and breathing fire then disappearing. And Kislev have far, far too much ice everywhere. CA waters down every faction massively, but when they're given even more liberty, they're beyond watered-down as seen with Kislev and more-so Cathay.
>>500905008The mods that de-magicify Kislev are good, like The Motherland and stuff, which focus on making them a more human-oriented army instead of all the magical bullshit. Kislev should have been 17th century Russia with kossaki everywhere WITH FUCKING SEPARATE BARDICHES ALONGSIDE THEIR MUSKETS.
Is it loreful that a Demigryph Knight unit can beat a Grail Knight unit?
>>500905668>transparentsemi-transparent*
>>500903665Only other one I’ve played is Attila. Performance issues notwithstanding I like it. I keep meaning to get to Med2 at some point but there’s a lot of other games I want to play and/or replay so no idea when that will happen.
>>500905901if the "pillars of the community" getting knights nerfed have anything to say about it, yes
>>500904282That’s not really unique to them but the higher model count compared to chariots definitely doesn’t help because they suffer from the cav problem of ‘1 model stuck = the rest of the unit going back in’. The only flying units that are worth using for Tzeentch are Furies for chaff and getting better units out of unfavourable fights, Changebringers because they’re Flamers that can fly, and the Lord and Hero options
Started a Vlad campaign for the 1st time in a long time and I am having a blast.
>>500905275age of empires 3 remaster changed "colonial age" to "commerce age"
>>500906481Isn't that just whitewashing aka anti-woke though?
>>500905668>And Kislev have far, far too much ice everywhere.I hate this. Lazy and unimaginative same with the abundance of bear themed units and magical giant bears. Brits used to be good at writing in a more stylish and subtle way now it's just cartoonish and poorly written woke shit I everything.
>>500906641NTA but I also agree. CA went way too hard in the Disney/Elsa/whimsical direction with Kislev and not enough in the gritty grim fight-to-the-last-man soviet hopelessness direction.
>>500906749Cathay is also basically high elves without the flaw of arrogance too,Both races are like something from Warcraft instead of Warhammer.
>>500906749Yes, very shitty aesthetics. Reminds me of Overwatch.
>>500908019>overwatch>shitty aestheticssince when
>>500908550Are you asking me since when has Overwatch had shitty aesthetics or since when did CA adopt a more cartoonish looking theme for the their Warhammer franchise?
>>500909424NTA but it seems the former. I dunno if OW has shitty aesthetics, but they are quite different to warhammer, and likewise, a lot of the newer shit in TW is MOBA-esque (and by extension, like OW), especially Kislev, Cathay, and a lot of the newer abominations CA have graced us with. I'd add landships to this but a lot of people love them for some reason. Personally they're an ugly joke.
>>500910148OK fair enough, probably shouldn't have said "shitty" because it's a matter of personal taste and no doubt OW has its own style which is fine for its setting. >, a lot of the newer shit in TW is MOBA-esqueExactly. You put it better than me.
>>500903665Me. When I want to play history, I play deeper simulations like Paradox gsgs. Total Slop is so shallow outside of battles that only giant monsters and magic keep the game alive.
>>500903665>of those who have how many only played medieval 2?Unless you played picrel when it was released then lower your tone when addressing me.
>>500911475>unless you're an old man playing video games in his 30s lower your tone when addressing meAight grandpa. Does your wife buy your games for you?
>>500910148It's not just a CA problem, Warhammer in general has been going this route for a while for both fantasy (Age of Sigmar and The Old World) and 40k.
>>500911572No she just buys me the steam giftcards.
>>500911813when was the last edition that retained the grimdark aspect and had none of the fruity shit
>>500911878For 40k 4th edition was the last good one, for Fantasy I don't know but sometime before 8th
>>500912049ok thank you I will purchase the 4th
>>500910148fantasy has always been kinda wacky, im sorry you missed the memo on it buts been 40 years you shouldve figured it out by now
>>500913021So it has been the exact same way the entire time, disingenuous retard? Nice try on that complete bullshit lie. Try a little harder next time.
>>500865739That's how you know it's a falseflagWhich is a truly insane thing to do over video game factions in a single player game
>>500913113yes, the main character is harry "the hammer" hammerstorm, it doesnt get any more camp than that, fantasy has always done things for fun
>>500913148spending ten minutes screwing up a battle on purpose for a joke isn't really different from spending ten minutes drawing a funny sketch in mspaint
>>500903665I played Rome 1 on release but for fuck's sake stop thinking being around long enough to have played earlier video games is anything to be remotely proud ofYou were supposed to find that cool at 13 not 31

Holy flock of bats birdman.Damn, I forget how much Malagor buffs harpies. He makes them actually useable (if only as small entity cav)
>>500913732have you tried Isabella's bat stack in 2? shit is hilarious
>>500913732What is that inbetween manticore and spawn?
>>500913779Yeah, it's more that I'm impressed at how good the harpies are.Isabella makes the bats blenders, but they were capable of taking down infantry blobs beforeI've seen a unit of harpies get killed by a fucking T1 spear unit from the empire.
>>500913882SPEARMEN!
>>500913880Varcolacs, they're from a mod that gives Drycha (and beastmen, and wood elves in general, and Ostanky) a few units.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855839105It's honestly kinda fun to use, they're a bit strong but... I mean it's Drycha, her stuff is busted OP in vanilla,Varcolacs are basically anti-infantry skinwolvesTheoretically I also get access to Wildwood Fiends which cause rampage and has a death aura, but are really fucking weak so I don't touch them
>Game updates>Turns off all my fucking mods for some reason>Mods not updated yet>Game crashesVERY COOLTHANK YOU
>>500913882>I've seen a unit of harpies get killed by a fucking T1 spear unit from the empire.
*meant to say, harpies are flying dogs, no less, no more. Would you loose a unit of dogs on spearmen?
>>500914768Harpies can't kill fleeing enemy for shit. They're there to disrupt and get free backstabbing on busy troops.
>>500914926That's my point originally.Malagor (Plus the Legendary harpy hero that comes with the drunk centagor fucker) make them capable of shredding units, not just being distractions.
>>500914996rakarth does too iirc?
>>500915063Oh really? damn I've never run him, waiting on him to get victory conditions.

Archaons campaign is beyond boring as you FEEL the need to collect all the pokemon, by the time that happens its late game and the ordertide is at 1000 settlements. Also his sword is one of the worst shit I've ever seen in stats...
>>500920247*crushes its skull underhoof*UZRA CHAOS FAOSH
>>500920247Confused. What am I watching here and how does it relate to the Total War franchise?
>>500920145>Archaons campaign is beyond boring as you FEEL the need to collect all the pokemon, by the time that happens its late game and the ordertide is at 1000 settlements.Is there any reason why CA went with this poorly thought out cheesy end game crisis mode bullshit rather than adopting the more dynamic late game confederation mechanic that worked so well in Three Kingdoms? You could still set it to trigger on a turn timer or after long campaign and would be so much more interesting to keep playing into the late game and putting those T5 units to use. Seems weird they haven't done this yet. They must kmow most players can't be arsed to go beyond 30-60 turns because of how bad late game is.
Besides the obvious knight variants like foot knights or existing units with variant weapons, what units do you want bretonnia to have?I want herrimaults/faceless for a stalking unit as well as for decent range unit (faceless as maybe generic lords also), carcassonne shepherds as a support hero, and lost sons of bretonnia as something either similar to doomfire warlocks with bound spells or as a hybrid hero. Truffle hounds could be a support unit too but bretonnia already has tons of fast moving options so I don't really see the point.Part of the reason I want more than just foot knights is so things can synergize with Repanse's peasant buffs more as well, with faceless being a generic lord that buffs them too
>>500923216Giant snails
>>500923216Betrand the Brigand and Bowmen of Bergerac>"no you cant give Bretonnia competent archers because its not hecking lore-friendly!"Dont care, I want le French Robin Hood
Thinking about a Kroq-Gar run but maybe I should wait for the DLC to make the Southlands spicier.
>>500923687Could be neat to have a LL based entirely around stalking and being an asshole as Betrand and faceless/herrimaults or alternatively a Mallobaude campaign where you get a mix of bret mechanics and vamp mechanics, as well as a mix of their unitsSince vamp counts and bretonnia both need a face lift it could benefit both factions.I just hope they don't only add knight variants. I like them but it is the laziest thing they could do and bretonnia needs more than "better infantry" or cavalry variants

The resistances that Chorfs can get on their various units have made me want to play Moulder. My initial experience with them was ruined by cheesers insisting that everyone needs to make exploding brood horrors and nothing else just like Legend, and the world map lagging around Hell Pit on my potato but we coo' now.

>>500936007Fimirs are so fucking based. We need more rape in the Warhammer universe. It's supposed to be grimdark.

I want to play as the Lizardmen for Gor-Rok in the IE campaign. But first I plan to go through the regular wh 3 story camp. Already started as Miao Ying but i really dont like Cathay's unit composition, for some reason i find it boring as her campaign itself. Is there any faction with the same feel as the lizards? Maybe ogres, but they are evil at the same time, thats sad

What's your "good boy points" story?Mine right now is in Rome 2, where I've taken away Carthage's Italian colonies, peaced out with them, built our relationship back up to positive and even gotten a military alliance, and am now about to march across Spain, completely backing them into a corner.
>>500940873should be an FLC peasant variant>>500940901nuh uh, nuLore retconned it, Cathay made it first, Dwarfs and Empire just used it better(like what happened in the real world where China invented gunpowder but Europe are the ones who used it for warfare)

>>500943231What? I don't play total war
Feet Enchantress is my second favourite Bret campaign. ı hope Bret rework comes soon. Which Bret LL is your favourite anons?
>>500941059in ME I used that retarded diplo nonsense with greentide to bring Queek into ordertide until Tyrone appeared and declared war on him, splitting ordertide down the middle and making the map a complete fucking shitshow

>>500945543Are you Yuan Shao?
>>500945225I need more details.
>>500946268No, Liu Bei
>>500943231Playing Alarielle now, just have to take out N'kari then I'll have completed the Donut and can pursue total Druchi death. But I'm not sure I'll continue, I'm pretty sure it will just turn into a steamroll like it always does and I won't have a reason to actually play with the cool dragons I'm playing helves for instead of autoresolving everything.
>>500940378Firstly the race itself, which was once very powerful and advanced but has regressed very badly to almost the stone age, but still has interesting technologies from the past that they use but don't fully understand, like cosmic rays, pools, etc. but thats a lore thing not a game i suppose. But from a gameplay perspective its all fun anyway. Combination stuff like Kroxigors breaking human lines, dinos trampling everyone, some interesting magic like thise sun rays, even the Saurus seem a lot stronger than the average army of human meat. And the roster seems to be a lot more varied. But im not a fun of skinks, i find all that running and blowpiping a bit hard to control
>>500946538If someone hates you you can order him to break all treaties for free and they will do it. CA doesn't seem to want to fix this.

>>500946986Greasus Goldtooth
>>500946642Ok well, I'd recommend you go for one of the Chaos factions then, probably Nurgle. Lorewise they couldn't be furthest, but their playstyle is closest to what you say you like, with big monsters, monstruous infantry, tough as nails normal infantry, great magic and not much skirmishing around.With ogres the problem is that they don't have the exact same army composition lizardmen have, unless you were planning to go krox spam, and their magic is kinda underwhelming. More than that though, their campaign SUCKS. Their mechanics and faction organization are by far the worst design CA has ever implemented in the game, it's like all of it is designed to inconvenience you at every step.
I have played as Dwarves so much that any tactic beyond "Hold enemy down and kill them with ranged fire" is totally incomprehensible to me.I've played all the races, I've played since Warhammer 1 and I've (somehow) managed to win entire campaigns because I'm a pretty good tactician and usually do 2v1 against all enemy armies so I can just overwhelm them with numbers and end-game units.How do I into cavalry, magic, skirmishing, hammer-and-anvil? There is absolutely nothing that beats bogging the enemy down, move my gunners adjacent to the front line and then just melt the enemy with devastating firepower.Nothing can compare to it. Melting giant monsters through focused fire is the best feeling in the game and if I can't have that then the play-style doesn't feel good enough to bother with.
>>500943394>Have to pay for Aliathra's child support.Mannfred can fix that
>1 more day for SFO+ however long for the submods haha
>>500947254Play Slaanesh only until you git gud
YOU'RE MAKING ME ANGRY!!!
>>500948198GET OWT ME 'EAD
I would like to apologize. I used to be one of the people who thought that a 40k Total War game would never work, it wouldn't be possible within the Total War engine, it was a fantasy. I have changed my mind and I feel bad for having been so mean in defending my previous position. I've realized now that in order to make a setting like 40k, Star Wars, or ww1 work within the Total War framework, you'd just need to tweak the system they already use for assigning models to positions on city walls or behind placeable defenses to be more dynamic. Like the cover system in company of heroes, where certain types of cover give more or less defense against ranged attacks, and where a unit can find many different ways of fitting into or behind any given object on the map (like pic related). In fact, I think that could be incredibly kino. I'm imagining a 40k total war map as being far less open than our current total war maps, with rubble and buildings all over. Units would probably be looser, not adhering to strict rectangular battle lines as neatly, and with Total War's history of wonky pathfinding it could be hard, but I think it would be really cool. Like a mix of Napoleon Total War and Company of Heroes, with Total Warhammer elements in the form of heroes and psykers. I'm a believer now.
>>500947160Got it, thanks, ill check it out. And what you said about the ogre campaign is sad. Also, what about the gameplay and campaign for the rords of Tzeentch?And which campaign is the most interesting one in terms of story?
>>500948367So it would play like Dawn of War and not "Traditional Total War" as you put it yesterday, ok that's what we've been saying
What race needs a rework the most and why is it dark elves?
>>500948527I haven't posted here in several months. Not sure who you're talking about
>>500948724Likely Ogres and Norsca.Dark Elves might get a rework in the first half of 2025.
>>500948374>Also, what about the gameplay and campaign for the rords of Tzeentch?They're chaos factions as well, so expect amazing infantry and monsters, that's the common point to all of them. Tzeentch is a lot more focused on magic though, so you have to use more blobbing tactics and press a lot more buttons as you throw spells every way. They've also got the barrier mechanic which encourages hit and run tactics, whereas Nurgle is all about getting stuck in and grinding it out.>And what you said about the ogre campaign is sad.They're getting a DLC soon so they'll probably see some improvements, but yeah, ogres are in desperate need of a rework, CA flat out failed that one faction.

Think I might download TWWH3 again. I haven't played since the Chaos Dwarves update.
>>500946538Its about how greentide had Thorgrim and Queek constantly building mutual approval through the endless stacks of orcs and gobbos. And once you sign a NAP its only a few steps to then get a trade deal, military access, and then an alliance. Kinda stopped working when Thorek got added since you'd want to take him over Queek any day.

>>500913327it's not a flex for being old. I only started playing tw games this year myself. it's just a suspicion I had that the majority of people that I see constantly complaining about post-rome 2 gameplay mechanics don't realize that older games didn't have these problems because they never played any of them.
>>500951804Arbaal is the only one I can afford.

>>500959509Once, I spent some time regularly watching a blind dates program. It was hilarious how ridiculously out of touch or extravagant some of the participants were, both male and female, which made it funny. But something I noticed was, not a single time, not once, did a guy show up that clearly worked out and had big arms, big back, big shoulders, etc, and didn't leave with the girl already dtf.It didn't matter how ridiculous the guy was otherwise, like I said, participants in that show were more often than not loopy retards in some way, just utter buffoons. Not every one of those musclebound dudes was one, there were also nice and reasonable ones that knew how to carry themselves, but the point is, the ones that were stupid and uninteresting af and you could tell so at a simple glance were ALSO just as succesful. I remember one guy in particular who was boring and dumb like a sack of bricks and the only noteworthy thing he kept saying was how the girl was so lucky to have gotten him as date because he was ripped. Literally the stupidest, most arrogant douche you could picture within the space of 10 minutes of blind date. He STILL got the girl, she legit didn't find anything wrong with it because she was just so blinded by his big muscles.Meanwhile, for skinny or fat dudes it was always pretty much a 50/50. The only other similar guarantee way to leave with the girl was to subtly reveal they were loaded, that made them frequently forgive any other dumb shit they might have said or done. Without either of those two, the only thing left to do was to just be as decent, interesting and nice as possible and even then there was a possibility of the girl saying that's not what she was looking for.

I don't get the anti-mp mentality. the tableslop game that everything is based on was exclusively a multiplayer pvp game. all of the units, stats, and abilities that the vidya is adapting were created for mp. ca's work is just a continuation of what gw had been doing for 8 editions.
>>500970308you might have noticed this it total war, not a tabletop game. total war has always been based around a campaign, not gay little e-sports tournaments
>>500970308>Anti mp mentalityThey whine a lotThey think firing while moving is op(it is, but there's a historical basis for that)They don't play so and they directly and frequently affect itAlot of these are bad things
>>500970308The mp community is barely 1% of the playerbase yet the devs pander to them and ruin the single player experience, of course people resent them.
>>500971381I was watching wholesome chungus Turin and somebody asked him if it was good or bad for the game that CA balances it around super sweaty tryharding MP players and he responded by saying "do campaign players just not like challenge???". I almost headbutted my screen and shit myself I was so angry.
>>500972000i guess it is challenging when all your units suck because mp's retarded ruleset somehow makes them OP

>>500972207Less unique, less fun, and generally shittier =/= more balanced Also balance is irrelevant, fun and interesting is what matters
Oh god here we go he's going to complain for about an hour over the MP bogeymen
There exist a real human who lives on the same planet as you that thinks standing under a tree and firing a bow is legitimately cheating.Never forget that.
>>500972000>I was watching wholesome chungus Turin and somebody asked him if it was good or bad for the game that CA balances it around super sweaty tryharding MP players and he responded by saying "do campaign players just not like challenge???"He said more than that, his first reaction was that there should be a separate balance for SP, but in the end he ended up saying basically, 'yes, no, maybe'.
i'm going to chime in and express my displeasure at how multiplayers has ruined, and will continue to ruin even further, my blessed total war.
Oh god here we go he's going to deflect and gaslight for an hour over the MP menace.
Can somebody tell the multiplayer community that Katarin needs to be endowed with buffs?
>>500972000MP is such a 4th rate priority for this franchise, the devs are incompetent skeleton crew so of course they don't have it in them to do this but ideally they should separately balance SP and MP, if they can only pick one then they should balance exclusively around SP since it's the default way people actually play these games while MP is a tacked on extra some may try once in a while.
