Thanquol soon, friends!
>>502697167>>502697167>>502697167Real ThreadSquirecucks cope and rope your elf whore takes miles of beast and rat cock
All three races getting updates are rejects in the Great Plan. PURGE PURGE!
Volound won
>>502698145You're the most boring schizo we've had.At least the beastjeet put effort into writing ESL coom garbage
Schizos are weird>>502698227He most definitely did not. He is Scottish after all
>no vampire DLC since 2016
>>502697885>Not the fat dinoYou picked wrong. Reroll until you get Kroq-Gar
>>502698471That's not how a gamble works u dumb lizard
>>502698540Tell that to the gacha generals.
>>502698338it's really bizarre imo
Holy shit what a faggot the wheelchair cunt is. He unironically in the first minutes of the vid describes his criticism of TW and CA as some "virtuous noble moral goal" and self boasting treating his POV of what TW ought to be as some holy law, legend trying to be profesional to him..How is this a real person lmaoThe entire comment senction is rightfully shitting on him, what good will this moron had in the YT community he pissed awayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqLcYm2i84A&tWatch the first few minutes and tell me this is a mentally healthy person
>>502698338They're the coolest faction so CA hates them
>>502698773no one cares faggot
>>502698338Very likely we'll get them in the next DLC (about a year from now).
>>502698773I care
>>502698773this >>502698857Ignore Volound >>502698908
>>502698773He is terminally online, he unironically sees vidya and his grudge with TCAL as an issue on the level of a geopolitical crisis.
>>502698251Unironically true. Funny when beastanon replies to one of your campaign posts because a random beast army coincidentally reinforces one of your armies on the offensive and you get this 200 word ESL babble essay about beast rape. It's nonsense, but ironically victimless. Doesn't overstay his welcome.
>>502698986>Doesn't overstay his welcome.Nah he did too, since often he spammed for hours until janny banned him. I think in one thread he almost had around 70-80 deleted posts
when is the update coming out I havent played the game since fucking June and there's no news?
>>502698171>Posting the Celestial Storm, an army that unites Lizardmen and Dragon Ogres
Maybe the real news was the "IT'S UP" shill posts we made along the way..?
>tell cavalry to charge retreating units>they run up to them slowly>they follow behind them until they get off the map>mfw
Anyone else doesn't play the game at all and just comes here to shitpost?
>>502699832tomorrow is the real "IT'S UP" moment
>>502699880>tell light infantry to chase retreating units>they run after them until they catch up, hit them once and then stopI HATE GUARD MODE
>>502699832I'm waiting for the grim&grave tweet
>>502700149>>502699880I'm having the opposite experience. Since Tamurkhan I think.. cav just fucks face like crazy. Usually cav charged, did nothing, then fought in melee.The rot knights and even my Longma.. when they connect with.. anything really.. lifebars just stop existing on contact.
>>502700117I want to try total war one day
>>502700321Cavalry is cucked while they are in the grasp of the MP tranny gang, knockdowns causing units to take 0 damage until they get up is fucking retarded
>>502698773I'm not clicking on that video.
>>502700467Are you not listening?My longma make contact with any infantry unit.. and it just melts. They don't even fight. They ram in, half the lifebar is gone, 60 dead units.
I wish elves were real.
>>502700637I refuse to listen so i can keep the narrative in my favor.
>>502700717sure
>>502700787come here...
>>502700717So you could watch them take beastcock and ratcock in every hole?
>>502700816who draws this shit
>>502700978Someone extremely based.
longma balls lmao
>>502700935AIEEEE
Thoughts on Pixelated Apollos, Volunds and Legend of Total Wars chat about the state of CA and TWW3? Thoughts on Legend admitting the game is shit?
What is the weirdest /twg/ art you have saved?
>>502700978I choose to believe that nobody has such a grotesque fetish and they're drawn as a joke
Playing a Bretonnia cav only campaign. Honestly this is how the faction is meant to be played.
>>502697889When the fuck is the next updatemy interest in this game is as frozen as katarins pussy
Damn, Elspeth looks like THAT?!
>>502701617Have you never been to /d/? Muscle girls are quite tame.
>>502702041>give her sex body>keep the tranny faceIs the face even vanilla?i don't remember it looking this much like a man
>>502702373Where are you living that men look like that? SEA maybe?
>>502702041She's supposed to be half a ghost.

>>502702568Bro if your woman has a face like that then i got news for you
>>502702742Why does a ghost wear yoga pants? Does she have daily sessions with Emmanuelle?
When have I successfully beaten the game according to /twg/?
BRING ME NEFERATA'S LOVE
>>502703792When you have fun. Very few have reached this with TW games.
>>502703925I had fun once when Aranessa was the sole survivor of my army against 6 units, but the unit losses wore off so she just solo'd them.
>>502703831Based
>>502702351>Have you never been to /d/?I'm not gay
Warhammer 3 is probably the most unfun Total War overall
>>502698773Didn't watch, but the comments are funny
>>502704536..but enough about Thrones of Britannia.
>>502704536Is it opposite day already?
>>502704536battlewise? About as shit as Rome2 or Troy
Infantry tier list:1. Super heavy infantry2. Heavy infantry3. Medium infantry4. Light infantry5. Naked infantry
>>502705423Naked infantry is good, see sisters of slaughter, exalted bloodletters.
>>502705514>Naked infantry is goodI second this
>>502698773Wait Volound is in a wheelchair? Couldn't happen to a nicer person lmaoSeriously though, the way he presents himself is so insufferable that even when he has a good point about TW, I can't force myself to watch more than a minute or two of his video because of his cunty output. Figures he'd be a Zigger too.
>>502703792No white dot.No hiding the white dot if present.Legendary/VH difficulty with default AI stats slider (maxed).No ambush stance.No "wasting enemy's ammo".No hiding units in trees.No capturing points with stalk (although CA did add tower vision).No wall banging (putting your units at the edge of the map to intercept reinforcement).No corner camping.Maximum of one her per hero type per army.Use CA's MP unit caps in SP (no cheats for unit caps).No abusing diplomacy (treaty cancels, settlement trading, gifting custom amounts of gold).No having fun.Those are the rules. Now the suggestions:Avoid DLC factions. They are overpowered. If you do play them, don't take any actions except defensive ones for 10 turns to give the AI a chance.Avoid vassals as races that have vassal revolt immunity.Avoid using faction mechanics that the AI can't themselves use.
>>502705737Lizards have natural armor
>>502705423Infantry tier list:1. Missile Infantry2. Monstrous Infantry
>>502705936Kislev + Tyrion enjoyer.
Reminder that Legend was right about Lords of Shang Yang.
>>502705879That's why they're the best nude infantry
I spammed Ice Guard as Katarina. Am I doing it rite?
>>502705778> Figures he'd be a Zigger too.Worse than that, he is unironically in vegan groups on steam
>>502706114God I wish Tiger lords were real
Archaon is a big guy
I hope in the Bretonnia rework that lords and heroes get something like the Dark Elf names of power.
>>502706183No you are just being a cheap fuck.
>>502706525He looks to be about 6'8''. Much taller than most of us and he definitely hits the gym.
Imagine Archaon as your gymbro.gmi...
>>502706270There will be a LH or RoR that's White Tigers, it's just too much of a low hanging fruit.
>>502706537What bretonnia rework?
>>502706216Why are people so suicidal? That shit is worse than smoking
>>502703627anon you are mindbroken by trannies, i know several women with jawlines like that. you retards are why women celebrities are bucc'ing themselves.
>>502706216>an atheist wheelchair-bound vegan zigger scotsmanHow am I supposed to take his opinions on TW seriously when this is the life he leads?
>>502706675>He looks to be about 6'8''That's manlet tier for chaosniggers
>>502706989The one that is promised. Which is coming very soon(TM).
Female legendary lord catfight tier list:1. Isabella2. Morathi3. Crone Hellebron4. Repanse5. Katarin
>>502707349Yin-yin mogs.
>>502707284>ca said>ca promiseddo twggers really
>>502707349I think Feet Enchantress might unironically be top tier. The rest will fight like women (except Repantsu who will refuse to hit a woman at first) but I get the sense Morgiana is going to straight up start with punch in the face and then a cunt kick.
>>502707349Where's Queek?
>>502705778>>502707206>>502706216Don't forget. He is an actual tankie.
>>502708138and a cryptofag
>>502708036Taking cock in the ass doesn't make you a women
>>502707690Do you think Miao will sneeze if she's punched in the face?
Factions to play if you like heavy infantry:Rome 2: RomeAttila: Eastern RomeWarhammer 1: DwarfsWarhammer 2: LizardmenThrones of Britannia: ???Three Kingdoms: ???Troy: ???Warhammer 3: CathayPharaoh: ???Warhammer 40k: ???Medieval 3: ???
Is dlc even coming out this year?
>>502708639>Warhammer 3: CathayAre you retarded?
>>502708817At this point, who knows? What the fuck are they doing there?
>>502708857He is not really wrong. Jade Warrior variants are better than dwarf warriors in early game.
I like how the whole e-celeb part of the total war community is just full of actual autists. >Legend of Total Autism - clear aussie aspergers>Pixelated Apollo - EPIC 300 spartan bridge battle wank autists who creates stories for the individual models in a battle> An actual scottish vegan tankie autist with a god complex> that one warhammer fatass neckbeard lore autistNot to mention /twg/ and and all the subhuman spergs on TWCenter etc. I think we are competing with the Sonic fanbase at this point, lads.
So why are you all playing an objectively bad game?
>>502709048Chosen have been the best infantry unit since WH1.
>>502708639>Warhammer 3: Cathay
>>502709048But if you have the DLC, monogod factions all have chaos warriors and chosen
>>502709119Because this is the general for the objectively bad total war series.
>>502708639Pharaoh is Greeks or Hittities, but for Attila you could equally choose WRE, Herculiani Seniores are beasts by the end game.
>>502708639I recall Troy and Agamemnon having the best heavy infantry in that game.For Pharaoh, it's the Achaeans.
>>502709141>>502709190Takes forever to get them though, Cathay lets you have heavy infantry before you're in the steamroll everything phase.
>>502709190>>502709141You dont get access to chosen/chaoswarriors immediately tho. Otherwise best heavy infantry reward goes to Greenskins easily.
>>502709048Cathay is a monster and ranged faction, basically chaos dwarves but worse. Warriors of chaos is the ultimate heavy infantry faction.
>>502709508>>502709574You get chaos warriors early enough. But the question was which faction to play if you like heavy infantry. The answer has been WoC for 8 years and will likely never change.
>>502708036He's male.
Orcs are the faction that plays the most like historical total wars
>>502709802Not when there are dwarfs around.
>>502709837not enough spearmanii
>>502709576>Cathay is a monster and ranged faction> basically chaos dwarves but worse>Warriors of chaos is the ultimate heavy infantry faction.All 3 statements are false. And i dont think you ever played Cathay.
>>502709882
Domesticated Beastmen when?
>>502710135They're called Bretonnians.
oh it's the actual miaofag cathaynigger. he's just retarded, ignore his nonsense.
Is the greenskin lord gonna be cavalry-focused? Cav are by far the least appealing units in the orc roster.
I accept (you)r concession.
>>502710057You're correct, I was completely wrong. Chaos dwarves actually have very strong infantry too.
>>502710382you literally cannot disprove that woc is the heavy infantry faction. go ahead, try, i need a laugh.
>>502710320He is going to be green-focused.
>>502710320Doesnt seem so. But Boar boyz and snotling pump wagons are fun and powerfull. Why do you not like them?
>>502705854>no prohibition against using a trainerlook ma! i beat the game!
>>502710197the passtranny coomer is behind 99% of porn/tranime spam here>>502700935seen here with the pass visiblebut not here>>502710382
>>502709882Your gay fanfiction isn't canon, troon.
>>502710197every time. be sure to filter all miao pictures, there goes ~90% of the cathayshit retardposting
it's kino when you break through the Empire's southern borders as Skarbrand and then start getting spammed with diplomatic advances from all the Beastmen, WoC and Norscan factions that have been getting their asses beat by Karl Franz and Elspeth all game
>>502698145Seriously what is it about squire that mindbroke you so hard?
>>502710594Can you refrain from tagging me when you are having another episode? I'm not interested in your nonsense.I'm busy with other threads.
Have some loyalty.
Maybe I'll just go ahead and play Skarbrand, been holding out on a Khorne run for the DLC but it's just not coming.
>>502710494>I have 2 middling heavily armoured units with colour variants who get shit on by Tzar guard, Black Orks, Depth guard etc.>And i have to spam and train norse monkes for 20 turns to get them while Cathay can just get a 70 (90 with Zhao) armoured, high hp, high md unit on turn 1.Ez.
>>502711669>depth guard shitting on anythingjesus it is retarded
Why does Cathay's supremacy cause certain Anons to implode? Do they not realise that they can also play Cathay?
>>502711928china bad
>>502711928Chaos dwarfs are closer and infinitely cooler, why would anyone play Cathay as a result?
>>502711928A few reasons people dislike cathay:>white countries have been flooded by dirty useless chinks for the last few years, many people now openly hate chinese>many western games now shovel chinkshit down our throats to try and capture the chinese market>cathay is woke feminazi propaganda>cathay took up a huge part of the map while the factions people actually like playing got their part of the map shrunk>cathay posters ITT tend to be autistic porn addicted trannies who won't stop spamming about miao ying>many people never liked the oriental/asian aesthetic to begin win
>>502711928Probaby because their "heavy infantry faction" cant even beat basic bitch peasant spearmen.
Alright bros. It's been 24 hours. What do we think?
>>502712605It's peak
>people dislike a half-assed fictional faction in video game because...politics!
>>502712605I didn't watch it and won't watch it no matter how hard you shill you communist piece of shit
Volound won the internet seethed with no arguments If god could play any video game he would play medieval 2 thank you for your time
>>502712605I'm just not going to give a view to that retard. Sorry.
2 more weeks until the Great Bastion falls and Lokhir Fellheart seizes the Great Canal btw
>>502712801every time someone posts that they refuse to watch a legend or volound video I open it up and give it another rewatch to make up for it
>>502711928jealousy breeds contempt Cathaychads just can't stop winning
>10/10 in Bretonnia
>>5027126053 drooling retards sucking each other's dicks
>>502713062what's funny is the massive backlash against lords of shang yang leaks means we are never getting another piece of cathay content ever again
>Yeah bro there wont be a Monke King DLC
I won. billions must worship of I will turn their waifu into a gorgon :p
>>502713708*orIf you make fun of my typo I’ll turn you into a spider and I’ll kick Ares’ ass again just to remind you who the true god of war is
>war in ukraine means no more kislev content ever>legends leaks means no more cathay>nothing but pure fantakino until 40kino based
>>502713974>polneck yourself
>>502714040who are you quoting, retard?
>>502708639>Thrones of Britannia: Sudreyar>Three KingdomsHan Dynasty, but honestly faction doesn't matter just get your guy to become Emperor and start recruiting Imperial Sword Guard >TroyMenelaus or Ajax>PharaohAgamemnon or Šuppiluliuma >Warhammer 40kThe Eldar>Medieval 3The Cumans
>>502712605Embarrassing of legend and apollo to stoop low enough to debase themselves to this.
>>502714204My god, we have found a true knower of heavy infantry.
>>502714281Volound's aura is incredible
>>502712826>If god could play any video game he would play medieval 2>godThis is highly offensive to Volound's personal beliefs, please delete
>>502713708haha pls dont turn my waifu into a sexy snake lady pls no :)
>>502714352Odor*Ftfy
>>502714441>sexy anon, gorgons aren’t sexy. In fact the whole reason I turn bitches into gorgons is because it robs them of their beauty. That’s kind of the point.The more you know! *gay greek rainbow*

>>502713974>Fantakino>40KinoFanta a shit. I prefer Sprite.Also 40K total war will be even more of a messy slop than Warhammer3

How come there isn't a 3 kingdoms inspired LL for Cathay? A power-hungry cao-cao type or a yellow turban kind of faction would be cool.
>>502716064because no one fucking cares about 3 chinkdoms or cathayits a doa concept that they tried once, it was a massive failure and they will never redo again
>>502716145It's the most popular historical game.
>>502716064Never played 3K but Li Dao seems like a jealous scheming Dragon child. And Monkey King with Tigerman/Snakeman could be the yellow turban rebellions for Cathay.
>>502716145>three kingdoms all time peak >191k players>warhammer all time peak >166k playersYou are coping hard. If CA could figure out a way to milk chinks three times in a row like with warhammer, they absolutely would
>>5027166413k dlc: failure, all future plans scrappedwh3 dlc: sells like hotcakes
>>502716785>wh3 dlc: sells like hotcakesNot enough to stop them from moving on to 40k lmao

Ok so what will the Slaanesh DLC have? Besides the obvious Sorcerer Lord, Exalted Champion, Slaangors and knights on Daemonic Steeds, what will the T5 SEM and the 2 remaining units be?
>>502717171unironically with darthmod yes. Makes the AI actually hold a formation, which they are utterly incapable of otherwise. Vanilla empire is like putting down a rabid dog, or shooting Lennie in the back of the head. The AI is completely nonfunctional, doesn’t stand a chance.
>>502717368>reddit spacing
>>502717478i accept your concession, saar
>>502717171No. I get the urge once a year or so, install it and play about 10 hours before I remember why I stopped. There's a lot about Empire that I love, but I can't get over the bugginess, and while retarded AI is something that I can deal with in most TW games, it really bothers me in Empire.
>>502717425Probably some elven cultists. But i really want a very fast flying monster and actually usefull harpy.
>>502717478dude not even him but shut up you’re wrong. “The most popular” implies currently, not historical peak. that’s how words work. You can both stop posting now
The 4 hour discussion between Legend and Volound, Pixelated Apollo summed up:>oh man, Total War Warhammer is such a bad game, right Legend?I don't agree.>even Legend agrees that Warhammer sucksI don't>So Legend, why are you playing a bad game?>Hey Legend, I just had a discussion with Legend and he said Warhammer sucks>After talking with Legend, who mentioned Legend's opinion about Warhammer, we are all in agreement Warhammer is a bad game>Warhammer is like playing with toys, right Legend?>Hey Legend, I heard Legend of Total War only plays Warhammer, because it's a ridiculous broken game, not because it's fun. You agree with Legend, right Legend?>So you are saying all the battles you ever fought in Warhammer were ridiculously easy, because you exploit them so much, there is no challenge and every outcome is a foregone conclusion, right?...
Playing Lord Skrolk campaignWhy did my LL randomly get wounded?

>>502717425Some stalking flankers would be good, idk anything about the lore I just think it would add something new to the tactical options. Like Daemonettes but sneaky
>>502717478lmao you got fucked and now try to double-downkys esl faggot
>>502717891It's still worth a listen though just to hear the holy triumvirate of TW content creators discuss the game.
>>502717891Nobody cares faggotn why did you even listen to it
>>502717938Firstly, was it truly random?Secondly, did you pick up something like a Helm of Drasca? It is a purple item.
>>502715930anons be like>by Zeus! sexo sexo sexo!
>>502717425Nothing, Khorne DLC will be the last one as CA has become too inept to put together another one after that.
>>502718339woah mama
>>502718349lmaonkari on suicide watchslaanesh in shambles
>>502717938>2024>SkrolkBased. But also, why? I love Skrolk but he's so weak and in such a bad spot. What's in your event history on the right of campaign map?
>>502717891I took a look at that Apollo dude's channel>has almost a million subs>his recent videos cant even get a 8k views unless its just drama baiting shitNo wonder they are so butthurt lmao
>>502718349Good, modders can finally fix this shitty ass fucking game and we'll get the warhammer 3 we deserve
>>502718090>>502718496>holy triumvirate of TW content creators discuss the gameVolound gets like a hundred views on his gameplay videos nower days. He only gets a more than a thousand views by shitting on modern Total War games. Pixelated Apollo gets 10% (at his best and Legend's worst) of the views compared to Legend.There is no trumvirate. Legend has many enemies, but his equals are none.>>502718135How was I supposed to know it was just some grumpy old Millenials seeking mutual validation and then gaslighting Legend into agreeing with them?
>>502718009wow rude :(
>>502718496I said it in the last thread and I’ll say it again. Whole discussion is just those two trying to convince legend to admit that he only plays for views and subs, which he eventually does. They’re obviously seething because he’s really successful right now and they’re not. He’s the most popular, Apollo is the “historical peak.” Funny how it’s relevant to the discussion we just had
>niggas here gave volound their ear for 4+ hoursReally now?That’s what we’re doing?
>>502718802Yes you cocksuckerDont pretend we have lives
>>502718802I listened to it in my earbud was I was at work because I’m a badass rebel with a rough exterior but a heart of gold

>>502718802I watched it on 2x speed so 2+ hours for me.
What are the best and worst factions if I wanna try and rekindle my love for Warhammer 3? If possible a cozy campaign would be preferable.
>>502719023>Legend is the only one that makes content worth watching, the other two are "old guard" no-passion youtubers who'd struggle to get 1k views per video if they started from scratch>1khttps://www.youtube.com/@VoloundExpounds/videosVolound literally does not even exist as a gaming youtuber anymore. All he has is pretending he is virtuous for caring so much about other people enjoying a bad game.
Why are Apollo and Volound so incredibly bitter over warhammerwhy can't they just find something to enjoy about it like Legend? Legend was like them at first but gave it a chance and is now huge, meanwhile those 2 are seething and dooming over they have to find real jobs
>>502719205Karl Franz, the only campaign worth playingWith mods obviously
>>502718802I listened to most of Volound vids in backgroundHe has some points, but most of it is superiority complex pseud padding: what he can say in 5 mins he says in 30 etc. It's oddly entertaining to listen to him go off kek
>>502719336They dont like the setting. Or maybe fantasy in generalThats it.And that is very importantI sure as hell wouldnt put up with so much of the absolute dogshit in Warhammer if I didnt like the setting.
>>502719336Because if they liked the popular thing they wouldn't be special.
>>502718883I do and frequently wish I didn’t snd then when I get like 2 weeks off and get a sampling of neetdom I go stir-crazy and bored.
>>502717891Why are you conveniently ignoring the fact that Legend pointed out that the game suffers a lot from the manual battles being shit and that more and more people are playing the campaign like a paradox game? Or that CA has been ignoring the criticism most of the timeOr that Legend couldn't find a good thing to say about the game that didn't involve him cheesing it (although, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and it was Legend's way of politely saying "yeah, whatever good thing I'm gonna say about Warhammer 3, you'll just go "nuh-uh"" Also Legend also said that he doesn't want more warhammer stuff and that CA should stop fixing the game by giving a fanatsy mechanic bandaid to cover the fact that the ai is even more braindead than it was in WH1 I will give it to you that they really tried fishing any sort of response that remotely sounded like him saying "yeah, WH3 is shit"
Snake sex
>>502719669>Why are you Because this general has an absolute seething hate boner for volound
>>502718883I do and frequently wish I didn’t snd then when I get like 2 weeks off and get a sampling of neetdom I go stir-crazy and bored.In the same breath I smoked weed amd worked on fucking reaction images last night for the trailer drop tomorrow so maybe I’m full of shit.
>>502719257>volound has beef with asmongoloid>Volound is a militant atheist and is defending islamistsloltotal war
>>502719635>>502719842Whoops double posted sorry
>>502719889If you go to tankie websites you'll find essays about how muslims and russians are essentially anti-imperialist so their success is pivotal to the socialist revolution.
>>502719669>I will give it to you that they really tried fishing any sort of response that remotely sounded like him saying "yeah, WH3 is shit"Yeah and that's really uncharitable and uncomfortable, if you try to do this multiple times during a conversation.>>502719889Yeah, he is also extremely pro-Russian. He is a typical Communistfag. He even unironically believes a worker coop would make better games and that executives are the problem, not the developers. Like every leftist, his guiding principle is being anti-western. But he is also so abrasive, no one likes him.
>>502719336In Volound's case he is pretty annoying and aggressive. If he stops shitting on Warhammer, he won't gain new viewers, he will just lose what audience he has left now by admitting he was wrong. Apollo is a has-been, seeing Legend get 5 to 10 times the views with half the subscribers must hurt when that has been the case for several years now, so he must be angry at Warhammer because that is the game that in a way elevated Legend above him. They are basically salty they didn't make it, so they try to blame the popular game as if it's the true cause of their problems. The funny part is even if Warhammer TW didn't exist, they'd still have the exact same issues they do now if not even fewer viewers, it's just that Legend would be less relevant.
>>502719205>cozyHard to say what you mean by that, I love Chorfs, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Empire and Chaos Warriors. Cozy and easy would be Chaos Warriors. Grab Be'lakor for a ride. If you want very easy and simple cozy, go for the Dwarfs, they play themselves after the rework
>>502721068And yet they're right about Warhammer
>>502721068Please don't be a braindead nigger and give CA any excuses just because two retarded e-celebs hate Warhammer
>>502721707Eh, if we were talking about Warhammer 1 maybe, but I fee l 3 has really come a long way
According to Legend in that 4h pod WH1 had better combat than WH3. What did he mean by that?
Potentially retarded as I decided to get into Warhammer 1 and not 3, it was on sale. Also I jumped from Med 2 into Warhammer 1 having never played any of the other games between.> Move my armies to attack an enemy faction> Full stack of Beastmen/Orc/Whatever teleport into my heartland and proceed to nuke my settlements and send me into the 1930'sinb4 "just build garrisons/walls", it doesn't seem to work, am I just doomed to keeping my armies milling about my lands on the off chance the AI wants to come knocking? Also> AI faction reduced to 1 hamlet but can field 3 fullstackslmao what?
>>502722480AI just has more mechanics to take into consideration now and wants to do more stuff which increases the odds of them just doing nothing and break or something like that.
>>502722716In order to mitigate the fact that CA can't find a way to properly make the AI to micromanage their economy, settlements and military, they just don't abide to the same rules as the players. It's why if you confederate with another faction, your economy is down the drain.
>>502722716bro you can get the entire trilogy bundle for 20-25 EUR/USD depending on region versionhttps://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-total-war-warhammer-trilogy-cd-key-compare-prices/
>being campaign>immediately see thisMan these new mobility scooter designs are getting crazy>>502722716Walls help A LOT, and to be fair appearing out of nowhere and being annoying is the beastmeme's whole shtickBut buying 1 is the biggest mistake by far, the game should just be removed from the Steam store so poor newfags don't fall for the meme of actually buying it>>502719336I genuinely don't get how some people can devote their entire life and personality to following a single game franchise like a cult, let alone a fucking singleplayer series that gets a new game every 5 fucking yearsAnd I understand even less how people can genuinely sit there and CARE ABOUT someone else's opinion instead of actually playing the goodam cocksucking game in the first place or LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE THEY MAY ENJOYMaybe I'm too old/smart to get this whole thing but I genuinely wish both the categories described above would die in their sleep tonight, along with their mothers
Why are you guys saying Volound and PA hate fantasy? Volound has said multiple times one of his all time favorite TW experiences was with the Third Age mod in Med 2 and PA basically made his channel from that same mod. The settings of these games matter very little to these 2. For them it never truly was a "fantasy v History", or "Warhammer v History". It has always been about the bad games (Post rome 2) v the good ones (pre-rome 2). It just so happens that Warhammer uses many legacy features that were present in Rome 2 and beyond. And the copy and paste ability of CA doesn't work for them because they are copy and pasting bad games.
>>502722716the ai gets richer the less they have, the ai cheats, in wh 1 and 2 the ai fields more amies and has super aggro hard on for the player, you have to kill factions very fast if you plan on taking all their lands, its a good idea to fight 1 front at a time and take swathes out of regions that your main army is killing the oposing factions armies and a secondary taking out cities, your first starting moves are also very important and if you go into debt too early as most factions you wont be able to macro appropriately
>>502724215>Volound has said multiple times
>>502718339yeah? what of it
>>502718339Huminuh huminuh huminuh
>>502724420Yea, there was some rant video I watched the other week about him going off about the discussion between fantasy and history. I largely agree with him that it's a red herring. All that does is divide a fanbase and allows CA to skirt around with excuses. It's even more unfortunate that anons here and youtube commenters play into it. It is literally a lie.
>>502724910>rant video I watched the other week
>keep hearing about how shitty and dumb volound is>finally decide to watch his videos to laugh about them>tfw it turns out he's right about everything
>>502724910CA’s strategy was “make the community hate Volound so much that they ignore his genuinely correct criticisms” which he happily plays into by being as insufferable as possible and hurting his own argument The whole comment section is just criticizing Volound’s personality when it’s supposed to be a discussion of total war. Instead you’re taking about how much you hate some guy.CA won
>>502713098
>>502725392It certainly feels like it. Even when legend himself pins a comment about how he said he wanted the two of them to go off on him they still can't understand that his criticism is what's needed to hopefully put CA on track.I am new to this franchise and space. So to be fair, I haven't been burned by him yet. There has been some enlightening comments about him in this very thread in which I am appreciative for. Yet, these comments are just attacks of character and not of his criticisms of total war. Truly, CA has won. especially with some of the things legend was talking about in those videos. CA legitimately seem horrible. It's a miracle CA has lasted this long.
v*lund has no good arguments or criticisms for/of Warhammer/TW. He (and this Apollo dude apperantly) is an irrelevant bitter faggot who has been hating on a game he doesnt even play.
>>502727972Okay, now you're being a dumb nigger.
>>502725392Volound didn't need CAs help to make the community hate himAct like a cunt, get treated like a cunt.
its over
>>502728385Fuck off v*lund. No one takes you seriously.
>turn 33>wuzzag top 10 strength despite having just 3 settlements, level 5, and only has 1 item equippedwhat the zog
>>502728578>wanting them to fix manual battles not being shit = voloundretard
>Goblin Hewer>Immediately deletes 300 infantry in one minute >Doesn't elaborate>FleesFeels good dawi
>>502728960>Ooohh im soo concerned about the health of TW games you guise.You are not fooling anyone you disingenuous piece of shit.
>>502727972I certainly found a lot of his problems to be spot on. Personally, when I first started playing Warhammer, I was very disappointed in how the actual minutia of combat operated. Like, I didn't feel as though my spear/pike walls didn't actually keep enemy units at bay. Of course, at the time I didn't realize that there wasn't an actual fully realize physics engine where lines and spears essentially didn't deny space.Recently, I started playing med 2. There was a difference almost immediately. I had these noble Pikemen that actually kept an entire unit at bay. Like, you could zoom in and see the space separated by them. It was an actualized wall of spears. And the few dudes that were able to come in got cut down because the pikemen pull out their sidearms to fight them. I thought that was really fucking cool, and I am disappointed mechanics like that aren't featured in warhammer.Then I get recommended a volound video and he's talking about how CA's new engine can't have that kind of stuff anymore because the effectivesness of phalanxes and spearwalls aren't in the models inside the game, but just the numbers that's given to them.
I figured out why DE's always dominate my campaigns: It's the back arks. Look at pic related.>ZERO land not a single settlement to his name>has small swarm of black arks that I never bothered to fight because there was no money to do so.>STRENGTH RANK IS 5 with 22 other factions roaming around.>NONE of the Black ark stacks he has are taking attrition despite again. HAVING NO LAND.>Potentially the AI can use this to artificially inflate it's strength rank to fake being stronger then it actually is. Yes Malekith has a lot of units, but without land or normal stacks he can't do anything without armies going in water. >Big strength rank means that other AI factions don't want to mess with you. Ask any guy who has ever done a mappaint. It's arguably the most important thing in the game.>MEANING Dark elves have far FAR greater diplomatic power than any high elf or even tzeentch faction because the AI will actively try to NOT fight a faction with high strength rank>MEANING That Malektih and his goons have very easy shots at other factions and easy confederations because they have fiat military power.Diabolical drucucks... I'm screencaping this in case someone says that they're UP.
>>502729094I fought a stack upon stack of Ungrim's slayers as the Chorfs, each with at least 4 hewers, and I never saw them do anything except once when they deleted my flying lord.
>>502729414>>502728578>>502728401>>502727972you’re doing the thing again
Should ice witches make your armies immune to desert attrition?
>>502730014That's a drawback because eventually they'll stash everything in black arks and their territories get overrun.
>>502730158Alright that's not bad
>>502730014TL:DR you're a dumb bitch and a shitter. You'll fit in, at least.
>>502730014Well yeah thats always been the case. Especially in wh2 (where AI was good at using Black Arks) Malekith/Morathi always won against HEs and Liggers. Only the chaos invasion was a threat to him.I have never seen Black Arks attack anything in wh3 tho. They mostly sit at whatever port they recruited.
>>502729094I can never get them to work properly. Put them in front, they can’t use all their ammo before they’re attacked. Sometimes they can’t even get off a single volley.Put them behind and they don’t want to shoot. Only option is opening gaps for them to shoot through, or running them around the flanks, but at that point you might as well use irondrakes, who despite having less models and less stats, survive about as long as goblin hewer slayers in melee since they have armor. All the slayer units are bad because of this, even with all the possible buffs you can give them from lords and heroes. I use them just for variety but they’re shit
>>502728862WAAAAAGHs inflate greenskin strength
Voloundsisters, the Pixellated ApoCHADS and LegendKINGS are making fun of us, maybe we need to reinstall Medieval 2 again...
>>502730573Massively too, it seems. His army was all about half health, and waaagh was only about half full, too.
>>502730553Just use Ungrim and pure slayer armies.
>>502730750I have and they fucking suck my dood. And don’t say “skill issue” because any individual will perform better with another army regardless of whether or not they are capable of pulling out a win with a shit army
>>502730553Rune of slowness or smoke grenade a high value unit and let hewer decimate it. 1 or 2 of them in every army is fun and usefull imo.
>>502722480One big change I saw when he did a disaster battle that went to WH1 after only doing WH2 had him try and do the kiting shit on arrows only to find out it was a lot more difficult because the arrows actually stunned the general a good amount of times, Id like to see that return
>>502730975I feel like irondrakes do the same job but better and the only “downside” is their supposedly lesser melee capability, but the armor of irondrakes makes up for that anyway
Why would I ever use Quarellers over Bugman's Rangers? Even moreso if you have Organ Guns on the field
>>502731501Hewers can shoot over your frontline. Also hewer actually one shot kills unit models. Irondrakes kinda knock down the models with high hp/armour.
>>502731754>QuarellersMeant Thunderers but honestly Quarellers too since Bugman's Rangers are just a straight upgrade
>Ungrim with every skill that buffs lord's army in general and Slayers specifically>15 Slayers>4 Thunderers/Irondrake Trollhammer Torpedoesyup, it's gaming time
>>502730424>dumb shitterI literally am the number one strength rank spot and have taken all of Malekith's land.>>502730319>>502730453Who cares? They're still alive and all they really need is a single lord to do their dirty work for them. All it would take is a simple confederation and they would be back in the game again. Which with the artificial strength is very possible.>Well yeah that's always been the caseHow long have you known about this exploit that ruins the game? On here I never hear the end of how druchii are in a tough spot and how HE need another nerf and me wondering why I'm fighting Malekith over and over and over. I actually believed for a time that it was because of my mods. I let you gaslight me.The only way for the current druchii army to lose is for a HUGE faction to just appear to fight them as you said with the chaos invasion, or for the player to manually go northwest to fuck them up.How is this supposed to give unique campaign experiences?! How is this anything but faction favoritism?!
>>502731754>>502731946Normal Thunderers are kinda shit. Idk why, they should be performing the same lvl as handgunners but they just dont. Shotgun version is pretty good tho. Excellent at killing rat heroes.Quarellers comes from a pretty good and convenient building. Thats their edge over bugman.
>>502732347Did Handgunners get their LOS buffs because I felt they were bad and would take Huntsmen over them pre-ToD and now that Nuln Ironsides exist I never use them anymore
Thinking of using Chorf Overseers for Chorf-only armies too now that their stats have been buffed. They give your Chorf stack -5% upkeep and +20 armor for infantry, meaning your basic Chorf warriors start off with a whopping 115 armor and can be boosted to 127 with the red line skill which you're gonna be getting anyway cause there's no magic to invest the LL's points in.
Should I demolish allied undercities?
>>502731901They don’t shoot over the frontline very well at all in my experience. Once your melee actually clashes they seem to mostly stop shooting with the occasional axe every now and then. For some reason they demand line of sight even though there arcing shots
T-Thanks Volarybros>>502732701>+20 armour>whopping 127 armour on your chorf infantryOk but how does this matter when you can just pulverize 90% of enemy armies before they even touch your frontline
>>502731946iirc the rangers have less armor so they don’t survive as long under fire
>>502731957good your slayers can watch the Air force win the battle while they underperform and disappoint you like slayers always do inb4 the >slayers are supposed to diecope
>>502732961No refunds.
>>502732670I never had any problems with handgunners. 4 or 6 of them in any army is a must for me nowadays. And Ironsides doesnt relly nullify their existance because they are a tier 2 unit from a good building chain. I just get them ASAP and start conquering.
>>502733291yeah basically you recruit them until you get Ironsides.Ironsides are just as good as dragon crossbows, shades, sisters, and fireglaives despite being only tier III. Ironsides competeswith tier 5 units and even beats most of them in 1v1 like sisters, which everyone thinks are the best. Ironsides are a tier 5 unit you get at tier 3, which essentially makes them the best missile unit in the game overall, which I immediately picked up on and took advantage of because I’m smart and legend is a dumbass
>>502733291I feel like theyve always had LOS issues when I used to play Empire a lot, might be leftover bias from the original settlement battles that werent all just open field and those fights stopped them from being able to shoot
>Total War: Cthulhu this was revealed to me in a dream
>>502729581>I had these noble Pikemen that actually kept an entire unit at bay. Medieval 2 pike units outright don't work properly though. They almost immediately drop their pikes on contact and get slaughtered. So medieval 2 don't have effective pikes despite supposedly having a "proper engine" for it. Somehow them having sidearms actually just breaks the unit. Rome 1 pikes work fine though, so I have no idea what the fuck the med 2 devs did to fuck it all up. Also TWW don't have pike units. The medieval 2 spearmen basically work the same as TWW spearmen. tl;dr CA has always been shit and there was no golden age of total war games.
>>502735923It’s sad because empire should have pikemen, they are a pike and shot faction, pikes make the most sense for them as a frontline, but it’s easier to use spearmen instead.
>>502735923It's easier and better to just remove pikemen's secondary sword weapons entirely.
I am thinking about Thorek Ironbrow's Quarrelers.
>>502725392>CA’s strategy was “make the community hate VoloundYou thinking way too deep about this. The fact is that Volound doesn't really bring anything new to the discussion. His ilk also nostalgia way too hard over the broken old total war games.
>>502735923this, the only TW game where pikes could ever actually present a spear wall was Rome 1, and even then they'd bug out, draw swords and die if something actually go through
>>502729581Pikemen will pull out secondary weapons in Rome 2 as well, and that's on the new engine. Volound lied, as usual.
Does Volound prefer Romans or Greeks?
>>502735923Shogun 2 basically has pikes in the form of yari ashigaru in yari wall.
I watched Prince of Macedon in 2005 when he was the biggest total war YouTuber with a massive 10k subs and his huge viewer numbers of a couple thousand each video. It was me, getting banned in his comment section for pointing out that he clearly only uploads his victories, and then like 2 years later he posts like one loss and is like “see guys I post losses hahaha” I want to debate him on how Alexander is actually mid, I think it would be really fun
>>502736086I agree TWW should add proper pike units. I mean Rome 2 has them.>>502736225Not a proper solution since that makes them severely overpowered in melee. They just chew through everything even when flanked. Again Rome 1 pikes worked just fine and even they had sidearms.
>>502736747They are basically pikes, but I assume retards would accuse them of being "fake pike" units because of the warscape engine.
>>502714281>>502714352Volounds channel is bigger than those two
>>502736421no you’re deliberately ignoring the aspects of the old engine which are objectively better. Rome 2 is “we have Rome 1 at home” because it “technically” has all the things Rome 1 has, but only superficially. It’s just not the same without more mass, the blobbing thing is just nonsense, they behave like water droplets in a bowl, it looks ridiculous. There is weight to the physics on the old engine, and the 1/2 hit point system creates a better simulation
>>502732961>slaves>not labourersWhat the sigmar?
>>502737179The train made him stronger. He has protagonist aura
>>502737306>old engine is better>medieval 2 pike, musket, two-handed weapon units outright don't work properly >even crossbows bug out on the wallsOk
>>502737656I’m referring to Rome 1 mostly. Those bugs are clearly bugs that those developers uniquely added, the engine itself is not to blame for that, and it doesn’t change anything I said. These are bugs. Theoretically they could be fixed if CA actually put effort into it.If you keep being a deliberately dishonest piece of shit I’m going to either assume you’re dumb or being paid, honestly the latter is more respectable
>try to play a MP campaign with more than 1 mod>desync>desync>desyncFucking piece of shit
>>502737656I like Med2 but honestly once your economy can just field stacks of cavalry they will rape everything, they barely even need micro because a frontal charge on bracing units with supposed charge defense cant handle them and will crumble, a similar issue happens with Attilla too that just throws unit variety out the wayside
>>502737956It's more likely the old engine wasn't suitable for better animations etc.
>>502737306i'll take rome 2 and units actually responding to orders in a timely fashion over how the old engine made you "feel," but thanks for the laugh.
>>502738180Lucky for you then since most TWCenter modders for medieval 2 love to make cav charges even more OP.
>>502738189It’s impossible to know because the spaghetti code. It’s all connected now, like tangled wires. You can’t point to any one thing. Both engines have this problem, changing things breaks other things randomly and it’s hard to know why. You could make a new engine based on the old engine without the spaghetti code so the developers can actually fix bugs. I think that’s what they’re trying to do but they’re failing apparently
>>502738359>cheatsI dont cheat, even on older TW games
>>502738202Rome 1 is responsive, the remaster completely fixes this actually. Feels like the new games with the updated controls. Again, the medieval 2 delay was a bug, not the fault of the engine itself or how it simulated mass and weight, which is its true advantage.
>>502738448CA has filled recent titles with so many "sanctioned" game-breaking cheats that you cease being virtuous for not cheating and more of a cuck.I mean if you only play older titles that mentality would be noble, but on say WH3 not cheating is cuckholdry.
>>502738591>Rome 1 is responsivel o fucking l
>>502738448Madman. Vanilla Medieval 2 is broken in so many ways. The vanilla AI unit recruitment logic triggers me so I change it every time.
>>502738775You clearly haven’t played the remaster then.
>>502738591Rome 1 is more responsive than med 2, but not by much.
>>502738797I have 300 hours on Medieval 2 Vanilla and have enjoyed every second of it. It's not even my first TW, mine was Shogun 2, then 3K and then WH2 (all DLC bought) before trying Med2, I literally have had 0 issues with it and it still remains a favorite experience of mine with TW games.
>>502738180>a similar issue happens with Attilla too that just throws unit variety out the waysideIt's a problem with every TW game where you're obviously going to spam out the best performing units otherwise the AI rapes you with sheer numbers.Funnily enough Age of Charlamagne tries to fix this by having one type of unit for each faction and it didn't change my gameplay much.
>>502738797The diplomacy bug that mixes up extermination and occupy penalties makes it unplayable. Stainless steel is mandatory >>502738969That’s a sacrifice you make for having units that have weight and actually obey the laws of physics more accurately. What you’re remembering is actually the bad controls, which the remaster fixes. When you’re alt dragging units around just like Warhammer, it feels great. Best thing about the remaster
>>502739054Yeah eventually you will start fielding your endgame units but whereas in most other games there are a variety of endgame units to use, Attila more or less requires Cavalry stacks to combat the Huns. This has somehow been less an issue with 3K (a game that people trash on for not enough unit variety) and WH3 (a game that people trash on because of bullshit on top of everything else)
I started Three Kingdoms as my first TW game since I'm a DW fan boy and I'm extremely awful at battles despite watching hours of tutorialsI have them on hard since I know archers won't shoot at generals which is more realistic, but should I drop down to normal? I'm only on turn 6And any other tips would be nice
>>502739125>That’s a sacrifice you make for having units that have weight and actually obey the laws of physics more accurately.I get your point with the engine, but this is mostly cope. I am clearly talking about bugged responsiveness.
>>502739398unironically watch Volound play it. Turn the volume of so you don’t have to hear him spend an hour smugly patting himself on the back about how good he is and how smart he is for playing this way
>>502739398What exactly are you having issues with? If this is your first TW game and you are trying to use generals as one-man armies you need to rethink your approach which I'm guessing is part of your issue considering you pointed out archers shooting generals and theres no shame dropping it to Normal
>>502739609Come on now. We really need to shill e-clebs here?
>>502739609Do not watch this faggot, if you want to see someone at least watch someone reputable like MrSmartDonkey or Serious Trivia (making sure its a vanilla experience and not modded)
>>502739719I’m just lazy and I don’t want to write a paragraph right now. You do the whole tactics paragraph ok? I’m tuckered out on tactics paragraphs rn
>>502738872i have and not only did it have the exact same responsiveness and pathing issues of the original but it was also butt fucking ugly. i doubt i'll play it again.
>>502739125>stainless steelShame about the boring "realistic" recruitment autism that just kills the general gameplay. I hate that TWCenter autism.
>>502739829It is noticeably better, only really a problem in sieges, you’re being obtuse. Hope you’re getting paid for this
>>502739609>>502739621>>502739760I was watching Serious Trivia and watched about 10 of his Cao Cao tutorial videos, it looks like he just primarily uses the generals but I control them poorly and sometimes I don't pay attention to the actual troops and they end up fighting poor battlesI'll try restarting on normal and see if that improves my experience
Just fucking link videos instead of naming every fucking e-celdb there is.
>>502739947I like that, forces balanced armies, knights are balanced by being hard to replenish, I like how they’re free in castles so you can stash them around the empire and rally them together to fight off invaders like a real medieval army, then put them back because they’re expensive. It’s kino, why are you such a hater?
could we pls have more campaign posting instead of e celeb stuff
>>502739398Drop to normal until you can easily beat the AI in even battles and move back up to hardAlso post a screenshot of your main army or a battle you're about to fight so we can see exactly how you're fucking upAlso what specifically is frustrating you? Is your main line collapsing? Are your archers not consistently firing? Are your cavalry dying too quickly or not doing much?
>>502739992yeah, i'm getting paid to shill a game that's now over a decade old rather than the remaster that CA wanted really badly for people to buy for a while. if you actually played the remaster on launch rather than talking about how the units "feel" like a woman you'd know that the pathing and responsiveness was actually worse than rome 1. they patched it to rome 1 levels, which is fucking bad, then dropped it because the game is ugly as shit outside of some niceish clouds.
>>502740218The issue is that it kills the AI and unit variety since it is never properly balanced. You will be fighting spear milita and general's bodyguard units for the whole game. The modders take it too far>7 turns to build the recruitment building>get to recruit 1 single mid tier unit before having to wait 8 turns for one more.It's stupid way to do it.
>>502740097Alright well first things first, Cao Cao is a beginner trap technically, no issue learning with him but you are better off starting with Liu Bei and Sun Jian. Second, your generals are like beefed up cavalry if playing on Romance, be careful with spear units and kiting. Third you have a skill issue in terms of micromanaging units, some people have this issue and it takes time getting used to, no shame in pausing or slowing down the combat to make sure your other units are doing fine. Fourth, what kind of unit variety are you fielding? Spear Guards are meant to be frontliners while Axe Band/Sabre Militia are for supporting the flank while your ranged units take out priority targets (other generals, cavalry) and your cavalry help with backline charges and killing archers.
>>502740489It would be worth it to defend warhammer, they’re all in on warhammer now. I didn’t play it on launch, but it felt great when I played it. You’re just being an unreasonable warhammer cult member, many such cases. The tradeoffs are absolutely worth the micro seconds of difference between how fast a unit travels to where you ordered it to go. Rome 1 is slower and more deliberate because it’s a real simulation of mass and weight so it has to be. It feels good because it’s better, and a little slower is not objectively worse
>>502740315>>502740652Liu Baio declared war, playing Wu since they are my favorite from the DW gamesNot sure if this setup is any good but the getting started video I watched had this kind of set-up so thats what I followed. I think the plan was for fire arrows and night battles for Sun Jian but at level 5 I was 1 point away, maybe it was patched since it was so old
>>502741042if you had ever seen cavalry slam into the back of units in attila you would not be inventing this nonsense about how old total war is a true and honest perfectly scientific simulation of weight and mass (lol) while the new games have no weight. like volound all you can do is point to some nebulous "realism" that did not exist in the old games. units used the same dice rolls then that they do now.
>>502741160If you know what you are doing this is an easy win setup but since you are new>no spear units to hold the frontline/counter cavalryYour best bet here is to try and take out Huang Zhong quick with Sun Jian and Huang Gai
>>502740607It’s just slower. Campaigns are 200 turns instead of 50. Gives the AI more time to compensate with more troops, and then you get the mongol horde with elite armies anyway. I played France, conquered the historical lands of France, then made peace with all of Europe, set up trade and alliances, sent merchants everywhere, took control of the church, and then send crusades to take all of Spain, North Africa, and half the Middle East, and then defended the Middle East from the mongols with my confederation of Christian nations. Fullstacks of knights charging in and dying by the thousands, crossbows defending cities, forts to slow them down. It was amazing, we simply disagree I’m afraid. That experience is impossible in vanilla because diplomacy is broken. I do agree they could probably give the AI some cheats to make them recruit better units
>>502741589If you think horses send men flying and just trample over a block of infantry you are a fucking retard. A man in armor is heavy and not only can survive being hit and run over by a horse, but will also likely take the horse down with them. The old engine actually is more realistic, the problem is that cavalry don’t behave in a realistic or tactical way. They’re supposed to keep moving, they stop and fight like infantry,
>>502735923My pikes never dropped their the lances and were a very effective anvil. Granted I've only play Med 2 for about 15 hours now, so maybe I'll run into it at some point. It could be as garbage as guard mode, but I certainly haven't felt it yet. And just like my spearmen, they worked much better than any other spearman I had in warhammer. In any case I feel as though you're sidestepping from what I'm actually getting at here. You can't do something like that at all in Warhammer. Not in the 100+ hours of me playing it have I encountered something that awesome. Simply saying the games were always shit does not absolve Warhammer. There's mechanics that were either stripped down or taken out entirely. Your response only highlights that you could be seemingly ok with that? Or it could mean you have no faith in CA what so ever. Personally, with just a few hours in Med 2, there's certainly something the Devs now can learn to get a clue of.
>on mortars (the worst out of the artillery to have these on)imagine them even on just cannons.
>>502742239Cant give that to something better otherwise the ratfags will seethe about how their Jezzails dont get that with Ikits workshop unless through an ancillary banner.
>>502742239I hate mortars, I never recruit them, I get mad when I see them in armies, I always rage about it here, anons probably remember
>>502742043horses literally send light infantry comically flying in rome 1 retard. roman generals are infamous as chaff killers for a fucking reason. if anything attila is more realistic for actually showing men being trampled when hit in the flank or rear.
>>502742443If the men are braced they hold their ground and the horses get stopped in their tracks and slaughtered. Neither are truly realistic simulations, I’m arguing the old one is still better.
>>502742613horses are slaughtered by braced spearmen (especially in spear wall) in rome 2 and attila too, i genuinely don't get what you're even trying to get at at this point.
>>502742415I agree with you, anon, if only Franz started with a Cannon instead of a Mortar his campaign would be perfect.
>>502742415I love Mortars! They can shoot over infantry and never ever accidentally hit them, I like horrors more than I like later game artilelryHe'll blasters always hit my own troops
>>502742725It’s the way it looks, the way it is simulated. Looks and “feels” better in the old games, it is clearly different. There are many head to head comparisons on YouTube showing it. The new models glide around on ice and make waves like water, units just shove their way through other units. Units in Rome 1 would make lanes for other units to walk through. Fuck you
>>502742824>mortars>horrorsAs Tzeentch I don't think mortars would have all that much use.
>>502742994just admit that you're a fop with all this womanly obsession with how things "feel" or "seem" you faggot
>>502742802Elspeth starting with cannons and hellstorms feels so good. She’s just franz 2.0 at this point
>>502743035You say that but I'd actually love a long ranged indirect thing like that for tzsensctch (I have only ever played the first few turns, if they have that then I don't know)
>>502743161it literally looks different retard, what do you want me to say? It looked fucking better, are you really going to do the whole subjectivity argument because it’s getting tiresome
>>502743312i want you to say you're a dandy who's obsessed with how thinks look which is funny when you faggots are the ones constantly talking about how gameplay rules, and objectively units actually respond to my fucking commands in rome 2 and attila. that's gameplay.
>>502743521how it looks affects the gameplay actually. It affects the tactics. If you want to “push through” in the old games you really have to push through. In the new games it’s like pouring water into a bowl of water and watching the water just mush around into a big blob of water. You can’t just walk through units, whatever fuck positioning and tactics just walk through units and attack the archers lol. It matters fuck you.
>>502742239ironically the snipe doesn't apply to the projectile so the AI will still dodge the mortar shotthanks tcaluk
>>502741160You only really need 1 trebuchet early and your archers would probably be better off on the blue guy since he's more predisposed to buffing ranged. It's usually a good idea to match unit colors to their general's colors for buffs like how green generals will give good buffs for spearmen and they'll sometimes have certain units unique to that color.Get about 2 cav on Huang Gai and at least 2-4 spear units in your army since they'll kill off their generals and cav faster than your mercs will. Fill in the rest with mercs for your first bout with Liu Biao because he'll usually fill out his armies quickly and you'll want to avoid heavy losses and replenishment sucks early on.I'd say 2 cav/5-6 archers/2-4 spears/1 trebuchet/ Fill the rest with axe mercs for early wars. You'll find your own playstyle and your favorite ratios as you go but this will be decent for Sun Jian early.
>>502743768you can't walk through any unit, whether while retreating or trying to get to the missile units, without losing 3/4 of your men in rome 2 and attila, but it's nice seeing you keep admitting you haven't even played these games at all. funny how you retards showed up in the thread only when volound absolutely embarrassed himself for the umpteenth time with his retardation.
>>502741806I'm so ass at this game, I was pausing and trying to play well but this was the resultI am losing morale as a player
>>502743983I will load an earlier save before I purchase those units and try this kind of lineup, I did notice while fighting that Liu Biao and Huang Zhong did numbers on my troops since I had no spears to stop them, but also my front line fell apart quickly and my archers spent a good amount of time in melee
>>502744050Wow so you’re just going to ignore high HP high mass units that literally just walk through units. Also it doesn’t matter if they die. They blob into the unit they’re charging into and become surrounded, that’s why they die. If they had mass and stayed together as a unit in front of the other unit, they wouldn’t get surrounded and they’d do a lot better, like berserkers in R1. Elephants would push units out of the way but locally, when you touch a unit in the new engine the whole thing reacts like a liquid
>>502744101Set the gameplay to Normal then, your first campaigns arent going to be easy victories and you will probably lose here and there. Hell if you have a quick-save here or before this its good practice to adapt your tactics more and tty and find a better way to handle it.
>>502744595>heavy infantry unit can push back and through a peasant tier light trash unituh, yeah, that's kind of intended, and they still get chewed up. can you post an actually buggy webm of a heavy infantry unit pushing through another heavy infantry unit or are you just referencing a schizo reality like most volound parroting retards do?
the ion dwagon
>>502744694I think that was on normal, unless the change did not save in which case it was on hard stillGood point about trying it again though, I'll load it up and try some new things after I eat. I had Huang Gai take a duel at the start which felt like a good plan since I could hardly handle 2 enemy generals
>>502744921It doesn’t matter if they get chewed up, they get chewed up for the wrong reasons, it’s actually a symptom of the problem as I’ve already explained. I don’t need a webm, everyone knows large units glide through infantry blobs and get surrounded. They do it do themselves. This is the “look” of the game affecting the gameplay. Seethe
>>502745304*do it to themselves
>>502745304>no evidenceyep, thought so. we're done here. your daddy got bitchslapped yet again for acting like a complete sperg and now you have to seethe in this thread because he's getting laughed at for it.
>>502745498There is plenty of evidence on YouTube and we’ve both played the game. I’m phone posting fuck you everyone knows what I’m talking about. Units feel like drops of water. It’s the perfect metaphor to describe why it’s bad. Big drops just glide into the blob and become part of the blob and die. Big units in the old games kept cohesion. They will push through, but then they occupy that space and the units that were there before are gone. The units stay together more, they’re like stones as opposed to drops of water, it noticeably different and creates noticeably different gameplay and thousands of people are not criticizing this without merit
>>502745256>Huang Gai>duelVanguards are squishy, if you want to get a duel use Sun Jian while Huang Gai uses his charges to take out other stuff. When it comes to duels remember higher HP and evasion matter and Sentinels are very good duelists. If they dont want to accept duels with him then just have Huang Gai deal with Liu Biao while Sun Jian holds up Huang Zhong, your strategist is just there for support and run off routing units but Liu Biao folds to Huang Gai easily while Sun Jian is a better combatant than Huang Zhong at melee
Am I missing the point of the Lord of Change units? They seem pretty bad.>high recruit cost>high upkeep cost>mediocre combat stats>a couple of crappy bound spells>don't seem to have any auras or armywide benefits
>>502745791sure you've played attila, dude, sure.
>>502737385Does this upset you, whitey ? literally the first mod I got off the workshop
>>502746840Yeah theyre not meant to be monsters in a traditional sense, theyre more about cleaning up easier trash units with their bound spells and more like a harasser.
>>502746786Red units are squishy? I assumed blue and yellow were since they seemed more supportive/leader-like but I thought with a name like vanguard he could fight wellRegardless, he was dueling another vanguard so it went fine. Is there a rock paper scissors kind of triangle at play, sort of like how buildings reduce the cost of different color buildings?
>>502746957I have over 600 hours in Attila.
Probably a bit of a dumb question, but is there a way to make Changeling remotely fun or interesting? You can not lose and it's brainlessly obvious to just use the parasite (% income to yourself) on the settlements that start at tier 5 (e.g. Zharr-Naggrund) and from there you get whatever tip-top army/units you want far, far sooner than everybody else nigh-effortlessly. Perhaps I'll just shelve this LL for good, I'm able to enjoy everybody else anyway.
>>502723819>I genuinely don't get how some people can devote their entire life and personality to following a single game franchise like a cultWait until you find out about Mount & Blade players.
>>502747696hm hmm sure
>>502748453No there isn't sadly. I played one campaign with Changeling since SOC launched just to say I did it and I feel no need to ever play it again.
>>502748453>You can not loseHonestly though, how many times have you actually lost a campaign?
Is the warp grinder weapon team the most mysterious unit in the game? How exactly do you use these?
>>502750924Punch holes in walls. Have them amongst melee units and use their abilities. I really like them, I always bring 1-2 per army and despite being a "weapon team" they're not gay cancer like most weapon team shit.
>>502750592not him but I restarted my VH/VH max sliders kislev campaign at like turn 40 because it was my first campaign and I knew I could do it better and get ahead in the soul race. I was behind because I didn’t think I needed to rush and could focus on defending kislev and catch up, but then I was told it’s always better to go for a soul as soon as possible. I probably could have still won, it would have been harder. I’ve never actually lost a campaign though. Closest is getting into a tough situation I could probably win but I gave up on
>>502748453Uhhhh...I lost changeling once.I autoresolved away my army by accident, and then the Averyland army kept "stumbling upon my encamped stance" and thus revealed me and started a battle. I could flee, which worked, but I didn't recruit any units, meaning next turn when it happened again, I had to flee again, leaving me with no units.
>>502751072>gay cancer like most weapon team shit.Must suck to go through life as a contrarian who can't enjoy cool things.
>>502747389Vanguards are just squishier for sustained combat even Lu Bu who has bullshit skills to back up his ability in 1v1s. Mainly for duels your goto is Sentinels that have Tenacity of Steel which Sun Jian, other Legendary Sentinels, and some generics have, if they have something like that or similar to that like Zhao Yun then avoid a 1v1 at all costs because theyll just evade all your attacks.
allying with human factions as dwarves and allied recruiting their lancers is so kino bros
>>502751208I wouldn't know, but it sounds like you're speaking from experience. But, this is a general for total war, not for you to blog about being a useless faggot. Good luck, anon.

Just wanted to post and say that Volound is a dummy and cringe. Thanks for the superchat preciate ya
>>502753152I made a mod once that made it so units weren't replaced by higher tier versions. You could for example retain the ability to recruit Desert Lancers, Mavia's Lancers, once Mavia's Chargers was unlocked.
>poison wind globadiers vs BretonniaNever seen such an imbalanced matchup. Holy shit those armoured knights just melted in seconds. They fire OVER infantry too, so much better than guns
for me it's Athenstheir roster is mediocre, their faction bonuses are nothing special and it's not like navies are that importantthey're still my favourites because they're the good guys, fuck Macedon fuck Epirus fuck the Odryssians and above all FUCK. SPARTA.
>>502755970I don't know if it's yours, but there's one on the workshop but it's done by tripling up all the units for some reason, it ends up looking really bizarre in game. You absolutely could completely redo the unit upgrade and unit building files to just have it be like Rome 2 where for most factions you just unlock higher tier units when you unlock the higher tier military buildings, I'm just too lazy to go in and do that for every faction compared to getting rid of the dogshit cataphracts upgrade for WRE.
>>502756305Okay boylover.
It is time to right the wrongs
>>502756362My method involved making a clone of every unit that is replaced: the original version is the one you can recruit normally. When it is disabled by a technology, the "cloned" unit is enabled for recruitment by that same technology alongside the upgraded unit. Yes the clone unit did show up in some UI elements as a duplicate, but nothing too crazy... I didn't publish the mod though. Some units have really different roles compared to their upgraded versions, like some Roman elite infantry units are completely lost forever.
>>502757334AYO WHERE THE ELF WIMMIN AT
>>502757357Yeah, that's the method I think the workshop mod used. It works just fine, and it allows the original unit you recruited to be upgraded if you really wanted it too iirc, but I'd have autism about the recruitment bar having double units so I'd do it without the clone units if I made an actual mod out of it. At first at thought it wasn't possible to do it without the unit duplication but while making the cataphract mod I discovered it actually is possible.
>>502757318it's called being cultured, you pleb.
Started playing Skarbrand since I got sick of waiting for the DLC to play Khorne. Should I just let my hounds die? They seem pretty shit.
>>502758265is that that french femboy? what was his name?
>>502758785They aren't that great but they can be good for chasing down certain units you really want dead.Until you get something to replace them I'd keep them and use them for clean up after the fight has ended to make sure specific elite units die
>>502758837Athens?I have the filename as 'hisamecos', but I'm pretty sure he's gone full shemale since then
>>502758785I wouldn't throw away any kind of hound or cavalry since they always require a wasted building slot for recruitment I don't normally want to build. Plus they will be better later when you get Kanarak.
>>502758785don't engage with t1 hounds unless they're rear charging or harrying missile units. The hounds you get in packs of 32 later are better in straight melee fights but still a little fragile to commit to stand up fights
>>502759183thanks bud
fantasy is great and all, but would a post-apocalyptic setting work as a Total War?plenty of melee weapons and even chariots...

Tuesday....Newsday?Also, what happened to the captchas? They're just an unreadable grey mess.
>>502795013fuck, I thought yesterday was tuesday and I completely lost faith in CA because of that. Trailer today, fellow sons of Sigmaaah!
>>502795631>>502795013wait, the trailer for the DLC hasn't come out yet? I thought the DLC was due last month?
>>502795013No news this week
>>502794351Time to play some Tomb Kangz i guess
Vanillafags don't open.Modchads be welcome.
>>502798575holy kino, imagine being anti-modding
How do I mod it so my boys do their selection chant mid combat I want to hear some HUU HUU
>>502798649It's pretty lad behavior here.
>>502798649You know who used mods? The pagans in Europe. Where are they now?
>>502798575I just like really wish there was a mod that did this for all factions but it seems like most of them always like end up losing steam like once theyve added them to the empire and some order factions
2 hours and 26 mins for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
>>502798649I dislike mods because of things like that.I download a character mod and everybody holds their weapons as if they were glued to their stick hands. Pulls me harder than heavy lifters pull their rope machines. It looks trash.
>>502799269This, shit like this NEVER happens in vanilla
>>502799269>thinking its only mods that bring clipping issues into modelsMy dear anon.Never look at Demigryph Knights shields.
>>502799454And you think I like it when it happens in vanilla? I just don't use the unit. With mod what I'm supposed to do? Not use a unit I just downloaded? What's the point of downloading it then?
>>502799564My point is it's a terribly inconvenient thing to get major autism over, I unironically sympathize as there is shit in vanilla I can't tolerate which is why I have to mod it away, like the goddamn sameface and absolute lack of shield decal variety. Clipping however is really hard to fix as it's built in everywhere and once you start to see it you can't not, fortunately it's never been a big pet peeve of mine so long as it looks good in motion.If you want I can recommend some mods that go so some length to fix vanilla clipping issues.
>>502792525>fellow one grinder campaignposterPerhaps I should replay Eshin. I didn't care for their sorcs.
>>502798948You're looking at them, asshole.
>>502799126Only Orderchads have the giga autism that makes them labour over specific shield decals for Empire and Helves provinces and kingdoms.There is a somewhat more limited selection for Delves and Chaos I have found, but rarely updated and not up to the snuff of the other mods I see. I have noticed that Dawi really really lack for solid shield decals for mods.
>2024>people still trying to justify the white dot of shame
>>502799997Who needs to justify fun?
>>502799802That's why I used hands and holding items as an example. If I open up a character screen of a lord/hero I downloaded in order to level them up or give them items I'm going to see their terrible hands every single time. There is no escaping that.You can post the recommended mods, but I don't like downloading dozens of them each fixing one minor detail, I'd rather download "all in one" type of mod.
>>502800284cheatfags, every single general?
>>502800321Go back to /gsg/
>>502800321Yeah, cause we fucking enjoy the game :3
>>502800289https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3240423694&searchtext=demigryphThis will fix shield clipping for Demigryphs (to an extent)
Why do scalies get the strongest lord lorewise
>>502800582They get the 2 strongest characters lorewise.Kroak and Maz are OP. The only one who gets CLOSE in game currently is Kairos, and that's at the peek of his power with all the winds blowing from behind.
>>502800582Handhold faction.
>>502800321I have been exclusively playing with mods since TWW2, I barely played a couple camaigns in TWW3 without any mod. I genuinely don't understand the anti-modding hysteria some posters have, is it autism? An obsession for control, norms, rules, something like that? For me modding a game is like putting salt on a dish that lacks it.
>>502800930You still haven't posted your mod setups...
>>502800930no none of that, mods generally make the game easier, jankier and less sovlfvl
>>502800930It's a bad lingering /gsg/ meme.Nobody actually worships at the foot of CA vanilla, imagine Medieval 2 without mods.
>>502801086Mods make the game whatever the fuck you want, there's a shitton of mods that increases difficulty.
>>502800930I don't care about mods in general but everyone should reach long victory atleast once completely vanilla before diving into mods because most make the game far easier so I suppose it goes back to "you didn't beat the game"
>>502801279Like...
>>502800930Plenty of shit to do even without the mods. Maybe you just have too much spare time?
>>502800930How else is Legend going to save my disaster battles?
>>502800930It's a meme taken too far. I use "cheat" frequently but always clearly in jest and as a consequence, nobody gets upset over it. Some newfags take it literally and try to force it. I personally have a small concern or 'look down upon' those who introduce new units, or huge reworks etc as in my experience/what I've seen they're pretty soulless or inaccurate and they range from overpowered to massively broken. So when someone campaignposts about some win with some random modder asshole units it's cheap.>>502801379This is a decent attitude to have, but personally more to have a better ability to critique and appreciate the base game, and mods. I played vanilla WH2 for ~150 hours, and a few campaigns then in WH3 and of which I always done long victory (I will admit, achievements helped as they helped me track who I've yet to play) and now I just replay/try other LL of factions I've done before over and over, usually to long victory but also often play far beyond it too (occasionally play far beyond 100 turns) but sometimes stop at turn ~30 as I've basically won and bored of the LL. /blog
>>502777335It was voted on democratically with a poll, guess you should have voted then instead of just now shitting up the thread with your seething.
>>502801397There was this insane mod in TWW2 that gave like a 10x number of armies to AI, idk if it's also in TWW3.
>>502801642>we had a poll>no you cant vote in it>no you cant see itWhy is the pharaohschizo like this?
>>502801436I have 600 hours in a year, I've done all factions but these to completion.
>>502801379The game has cheats built into it (magic, OP LLs, AI cheese), what counts as "beating the game" exactly? Do I beat the game if I play on E/E difficulty and cheese the AI? Is that win more valid than if I used 2 modded units but played on L/VH with no AI cheese?
>>502801816Sorry you didn't vote schizo, but it's not the thread's problemhttps://arch.b4k.co/vg/thread/501101539/#501106597
My dear brother in Hashut, you also have treaties with the ConclaveOk nvm I was typing this during end turn and he already declared on me>>502798575>90% of the cool banner/officer/flavour mods are for Empire>some of the other factions barely get jack shit despite potential to do even cooler stuff>>502800930I always assumed it's just ironic shitposting, I genuinely doubt anyone actually cares about mods
>>502802089>Total votes: 10pfpfppahahahahahahahahahaha
So people who are hysterical and constantly angry about modders actually just want to gain status and have bragging rights because they beat vanilla. Actually pathetic.
>>502802371Last time there was a proper IP counter the general vacillated between 100-110 posters, so yes, 10 is actually a representative sample. Should have voted if you didn't want to see Pharaoh in the OP, tard, but I think you just want an excuse to continue to seethe and shit up the general.
>>502801086as we all know, CA's official DLC NEVER makes the game easier, jankier and less sovlfvl.
>>502802520nta but let's be real, 95% of the posters here play TWW more than any other game
>vanillafags actually accept a game without glorious beakieActual subhumans.Sub fucking humans.
>>502802875Correct, which means probably most if not all of those ten voters voted to put Pharaoh in the OP despite not playing it so some of the retards here stop sperging out whenever they see it in the OP or someone playing it. Apparently this faggot didn't get the memo.
it doesnt matter how many times you try and shill me sagaslop i will never play pharaoh

Sorry, looks I triggered another meltie.
Do you actually have to use your brain and flank, etc. in L/L or just mindlessly spam OP unit and click on the enemy
>>502805198>L/L?
Depending on how much testosterone you have, you will either identify with the noble but scorned dawi or with the faggot rats who deserve extermination.Choose Wiseley.
>>502805198>moving a unit to the side instead of the front of another unit is using your brain>comparing 50 different stats and abilities and figuring out the best combination out of millions of possible army comps is mindlesswhy do shitters have zero self awareness
Melty

>>502805905Mr. CheatsCHAD to you, scum.
>>502805905Legend supports cheats and CA integrated cheats into their game. You lost, legendfag.
ok, going for my first World War 1 mod campaign as Karl Franz. Any unit I need to focus?
>>502806032im not sure what legend has to do with my post but ok
>>502806048Mortars
>sfo is cheatsHow?
>>502806134>Slayers (Armoured)
>>502806123ok,also is it normal every skill has the "placeholder" description
Everything laughs at N'Kari until he mach 10 Naruto runs through your frontline and 4 hits your Legendary Lord.
>>502807040i think everyone knows nkari is a beast
WEEEESMELLLLTOURIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTS
>>502807040>>502807246He can do damage but he's squishy and easy to focus down with ranged though
If you struggle with fighting against High Elves as N'Kari then you can just run over to Bretonnia where everything has about 45 leadership and pitiful melee stats.
.
>>502807684Brettonnia unit balance is a joke. They only get interesting once they get mass cavalry. They are actually fun to fight once they get tons of horses.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm frankly torn on projectile trailsOn one side, they let me see exactly what is happening and which unit of slaves is getting accidentally ventilated, but they also look really silly and don't mix especially well with all the smoke effects >>502807605Isn't Slaneesh one of the best if not the single best faction at dealing with ranged units tho ? Considering how even your basic bitch infantry units are fast enough so you don't have to rely on some shitty dog units early on to keep archers busy
FOUROURMORE MINUTES!!!!
>>502808991
56 MORE MINS!!!!
>>502809237Chud is right yet again
WHy are all of Kislev's quest battles so miserable
>>502808440Yeah I recently turned off some trail cheat (I forgot exactly why, maybe outdated or buggy, I remember it was never perfect, even by the modder's own words) and now on vanilla and I don't really like it. They're too fat AND slow. I'll look for another one some other time.
>>502802294What the fuck is that faction?I love the logo.Is that The Old World?

Endgame Scenarios are so fucking garbage is actually baffling. "Yeah let's just spawn a shitton of armies in that province you conquered 100 turns ago and you already forgot about, of that race that is completely extinguished."Who thought of that?It would have been much better to just force the AI to create massive coalitions against you at some point or something like that, or massively buff a faction next to you, etc.
>>502810425You can't just add ?=french to every website. It only works with xitter.
are you niggering me.
>>502810652>enable meme mode>get memed on>complain
>>502810694that battle is so fucking shit if you have a ranged army, these two mongs just charge into the slaanesh armies outside your range and get absolutely raped
>>502810857I defended them, killed two of the wizards with my hero, and was about to kill the last one when a broken Felix ran back into the demons with 400 hp and ended it :)
>>502810775I want an endgame challenge, I guess I will have to CHEAT and install some mods because vanilla is fucking garbage as expected.
>>502810857Bullshit. I done it yesterday as Elspeth of which most of the army is ironsides. The map is covered in hills and ditches all over so you can sit any ranged unit on the myriad of high-spots and free-farm. Keep in mind you have to keep moving to kill the marked targets, or else enemies keep spawning.
>>502810958If you want an actual challenge that isn't just +100% stats to AI, play MP.

>Empire total war mobile versionWill they release it later on Steam ?
>>502813038Why would you say something like that?
>>502813181Why would you want that
>>502813187Because i'm a contrarian.
>>502812820Bruhhhh, Astragoth and Zatahn still having the most fun campaigns, even in TOW.I REALLY need to get around to making my working laborfleet mod.
I didn't play for few months, did they add unusual locations to other factions, or still only order has them?
>>502812951There is no way they will do it so you can't ever lose. Too many players already play like that for it to be unique.
>>502813324What happens when two contrarians meet? Does one become a conformist?
>>502813558no, the second contrarian attempts to find a third position with no regard to logic or feasibility, a bit like anons who seriously believe that Slaanesh is their favourite chaos god.
it doesn't matter how 'good' arballs campaign is, i refuse to play reddit tier factions
>>502813174i see, you think i have 50 hours on the game like you, let me help you herei dont ASSUME the ai will act in that wayi know it acts that waybecause its been 40 turns and no one near me declared war on me, and no enemy of mine came to attack meif anything, i got more money from peace dealsbut keep up your 16 years old attitude, you sure have it all figured outdumb bitch

>>502813846Just about any Chaos faction.
>>502813703khorne is the opposite of reddit tier

>>502813846Khorne razing every settlement you take for blood hosts
>>502814118correct, the pseuds at reddit either like slaanesh because they're trannies or tzeentch because they think they're geniuses. i guess i should correct it to say nurgle is the opposite of reddit-tier because he's the least popular chaos god everywhere.

Then in 1 hour.
later this week then.
Apologise to Legend now
>no tuesday newsday>againAt this point i'm thinking the newsfags are tzeentchian magisters.
>>502814823It is late because they are just dropping the entire dlc at once to buy.
>>502814876no
>>502814595tu vas faire cette blague pendant encore combien de temps espèce d'enculé
when was the last time Ca even revealed a trailer on Tuesday?
>>502814935I remember CoC dlc trailer showing up way later that day.
They ran out of budget for marketing.
IF THIS ENDS IN 9 DLC IS CANCELLED AND VOLOUND WILL RISE FROM HIS WHEELCHAIR!
NO TRAILER AHAHAHAAHAHHA
Actually the CA Marketing Department were the part most purged by SEGA deathsquads.
>>502813174come on, im waitingwhy dosent teclis declare war on me?i have no armies, just a bunch of wars across the map and he is not involved in a warcould it be that you're a faggot who knows nothing about the game?
>>502815046Thrones of Decay's announce trailer was on April 9, which was a Tuesday.
suicide soon, friends!
CA is done. They will never make a good game again. Can anyone here seriously imagine the current bunch of retards who work there designing a new engine? They are actually going backwards even legend admits TW3 battles are shitter with smaller maps than then TW2.
>We have a lot more goodness coming your way towards the end of the monthI keep reminding you but you refuse to listen. If it was a week after the Dev video, they would have said "next week". If it was two weeks from then, they would have said soon. Don't expect anything this week.
volund was right, legend was right, /twg/ lost bigly
>>502814876more proof they actually pivoted
Saars do the needful ask sorry to Legend
Why would they pivot when everyone wanted Lords of Shang Yang?
>>502815231>turn 53>4 provincesjesus christ twg shitters are insanely bad
>>502814089I hate how beastmen are the only ones to realistically leave ruins around. I'd love to play a Chaos faction and leave ruins and have nobody touch them, no vassals, just ruins. Maybe have the ruins spread some corruption in its province and a little to nearby province, sure, but perhaps that's it.
>>502815785I would have been happy with portals that shit out demon armies every now and again.
40 minutes until news trust the great plan.

This general is genuinely unusable in the runup to trailers.
>>502776851Warband Upgrade Ultimate, lets you upgrade units with any faction as you should be able to.
This general is a great repository for information in the lead up to the marketing campaign.
>>502814876ask sorry to the legend saaar
>>502816301>>502816187thats all fine and dandy but you're the one defending revealing the entire map and declaring war on people like it's an objectively good strategy, you don't get to play the 'well akshully im a complete shitter and i dont care whether its good or not' card right after
It's over
>beat Daniel (Tzeentch)>Have a generally horrible time most of the way>Immediately after long victory feel like starting another Daniel campaign, this time dedicating to Nurgle.What causes this?
>>502816414We aren't in the run up to the trailer though, they generally come 3 weeks before release and we already know that the DLC is coming Dec 31 as they've said it is releasing 'at the end of the year'.Still two whole weeks before it's expected.
>>502815745>map coloring kiddyReddit is that way.
Well that aged badly.
>>502815350Yeah I've decided to stop holding out for new DLC, who knows if we're even getting the next one this year. Can't imagine these people making a full new game at this point.
