Thanquol soon, friends!
Total War: Warhammer 40,000 is coming and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Star Wars Total War is happening and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
hi! what 3 races need dlc content the most?https://strawpoll.com/e2naXd4DeyB
When is BETA going live?
Hyenas is coming and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
>>521160251Imagine if all that money went in to a new total war game...
yeenillions must join
>>521160230The Empire always needs more content.
To the one guy that voted for more DLC for High Elves. Who hurt you?
>>521160365Hows it feel that WH3 was bad because all the funding from sega went to hyenas
>>521160763Perfection breeds jealousy.
>>521161075all have human boyfriends
>>521160763>To the one guy that voted for more DLC for High Elves. Who hurt you?
>>521160763Didn't vote for them (GC, VC, WE) but they need a rework more than Empire. Toddy plus the Furries would be a good DLC, but High Elves need the rework more and they won't get it without DLC.
>>521160230Until Egrimm gets in my vote will always go to Tzeentch, and I hope when he gets in he is broken like the Thundertusk and makes MP comp fags piss and shit themselves
That was some overtuned crap
>The Empire 10.9% (17 votes)Please tell me you want Todbringer DLC and not something else.
WHTW lost its soul when they stopped naming dlc like Grim and the Grave
>>521161549If others want Nagash, I want Sigmar so he can show up and kick that bony butt.
>>521161549I want Ulric army units plus Todbringer and Valten as LL and Luthor Huss as LH. After that I am content because I know wizard lords and halflings are coming with Dogs of War and Empire will be able to use those.
NAGASH WAS WEAK
>>521161689The fat manlet of all people says this is icing on the cake.
>>521161549I want more guns and cannons.
>>521161549>t. skaven player
>>521161549Give me one more DLC.Sort of agree with this guy >>521161670LL: ValtenLH: Luthor HussGeneric lord: High priest of UlricGeneric hero: Priest of UlricUnit1: Knights of the White WolfUnit2: Teutogen GuardUnit3: Hunting HoundsUnit4: Reiksguard InfantryUnit5: Celestial HurricanumPlus FLC Boris Todbringer with Knights Panther FLCDo that and Empire is finally complete and I will stop asking for Empire stuff.
>>521161670Also this
>>521161549I'd rather have literally any other empire character but after ten years of generic Tod I'd rather them just fucking get it over with and make him proper playableNot that I expect anything from him. He's one step away from Karl/Elspeth and I highly doubt they could make him more interesting
Is it just me or are shades weirdly resistant to missile fire?>>521161973Perfect Storm of Chaos list
>>521161973>no wizard Lord
>>521162667Wizard Lords I am 99.9999% sure are coming with Dogs of War because the last few DLCs already added all the other lords that Dogs of War can use.
DARKSHARTS!
If Dogs of War does come with Wizard Lords which version would you rather have? Human or Halflings? I doubt they would give us both.
>>521162805> the last few DLCs already added all the other lords that Dogs of War can use.What other lords ? DoW had access to Mecenary General (with a lot of gear options) and Hireling Wizard.
>>521163612Bloodspeakers too
>>521163723No, Bloodspeakers never were part of Dogs of War, then only entry mentionning "Bloodspeakers" ever was the Wrathmongers.
DoW isn't happening.
>>521164018What about this 9th edition codpiece? Spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the codex astartes.
When the hell is CA putting in a Chaos Invasion scenario? The fact that it's missing after being in WH1 and 2 is weird and makes campaigns feel incomplete as the Empire.
>>521164830Doing scenario before chaos factions are finished, is beyond retarded, anonDwarfs one getting way worse after dwarfs update, should have been ahint big enough. Especially with how poorly it works if you play as dwarf lord
>>521164830It should take all of 1 hour for them to program, so I assume it's a design choice. Hopefully now that the Warhammer team has been kicked off the game and it's been given to Sofia we might see some improvement.
>>521165039In all fairness there's no real reason to wait if they'd just being using the same crisis mechanic the other races have. A few DLC units would hardly change how it feelsMakes me think they really are planning an End Times pack and want to actually theme the chaos invasion with real mechanics
>>521164830They are saving that for end times dlc.
>>521165353chorfs were kinda different, so I believe that all new crisis scenarios will be "different"Really shame that they included TK scenario already though, and it's the most worthless one of them all.
>>521165542I don't think I've ever actually seen the chorf endgame so I dunno how it's any differentEither chorfs already stomped the world before the crisis even hits or I was close enough to wipe them out before they became a problem
>>521160230>dwarves>3 voteswho the fuck are you, I fucking hate stuntie niggers
>>521166975One vote for each DLC they'll receive.
>>521165431retarded, they should give us a basic chaos incursion using what we have now at the very least - literally just make 100 stacks spawn in the chaos wastes or some shit
>>521167059Norse dwarfs are getting massive retcon in old world, maybe even will be third dwarf faction(fanfic), but for obvious reasons(their place already taken) I doubt that we'll see them in wh3
i wish TK would open up its roster earlier in the game
How are Norsca campaigns nowadays?
-2 Enemy Leadership or +8 Wind Reserve?
vampire coast needs a dlc that replaces aranessa with van geist. fuck gw for cockblocking this for such a nonsense reason.
Thinking of the next run, since SFO came out and I'll just do a Short run for FranzKholek, Katarin or Arbaal?

>>521172006Meanwhile stacy Archmages don't neeed to. Another win for the Asur.

Upcoming HE lord is Caledor I
The units...CAN JUST SHOOT AT EACH OTHER? THIS SHOULDN'T WORK ON MY AMIGA?And how could the game ever contain planes...that just FLY? GET UP AND FLY? THAT'S THE REALM OF THE GODS, NOT MAN!And it is wholly IMPOSSIBLE that a unit would get behind a wall and a portion of enemy fire would be stopped by that wall! THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS MAN SHOULD NOT DABBLE IN!40k's mechanics are just too COMPLEX for modern technology to handle. Remember artillery blowing up on a diceroll, banners, musicians, unit champions, and animosity for Greenskins? That's why Warhammer Fantasy was NEVER made and I'm still smashing my German knights against Milanese spears for the 4th time! Wow, the gameplay is really TIGHT! Reminds me of when my samurai beat Yari Ashigaru in the fifth Shogun game and I clapped and shouted KINO because THAT'S WHAT TOTAL WAR IS ALL ABOUT! YARI ASHIGARU AND NAGINATAS FIGHTING IN A RICE PADDY, THE FUCK ELSE DO YOU NEED?
Old World rulebooks are fun
>It's an AI units force path to your ranged units because the AI can give 30 commands to each unit per second episodeThis is why we noob box in the corner.

i miss the wh2 days when the future was bright and this place still had lifei just want things to be the same as they always have been
>>521160187if two armies encounter each other in space, will they just land their ships and fight on the nearest barren moon
yo these vampires are frickin gay?
>>521178502No need. 40k ships are large enough you can have battles inside them. The battlefield will be decided based on who is the defending side.
>>521178551Vlad raised him since he was a kid before turning him into a vampire.
>>521178607>Inside the shipOh won't somebody please think of the poor pathfinding AI.
>>521178849Cargo holds in 40k have square kilometers of flat space. No pathfinding problems at all. Think of them as the the 40k equivalent of underway battles.
When will the beta be out today?
lol
>>521161519Tamurkhan is so hilariously overpowered. Even the AI version can just run through entire armies on his own. Why the fuck is he just baseline unbreakable?
can someone explain to me why>Caster Lords are betterDo they mean LLs or generics, or both? With Delves and Helves I've almost always run stacks where the lord is a combat focused duelist on a dragon/big monster where the operative gameplan is dueling and killing the enemy general, and then any heroes they have, then any problematic enemy units. And then I always pack a mage or sorceress as the other hero in the stack, usually fire for casting flaming skull across the enemy lines or life if helves. But that had me wondering, why are caster lords just better? are they simply more powerful mages than hero equivalents? Or do you build them so they can also hold their own in a fight? How do you do that while still balancing what magic they can do. I remember Malekith being pretty simple though if I was playing him again there would probably be some Dhar spells I would just forgo because I remember them not being that good. I want to use lords other than the generic melee on a dragon (in absolute fairness I will be honest that with Delves part of why I did that is because I like the female dread lord a lot. 'DRUCHII TYRANT') so if someone could explain the power of mage LLs and Generic Lords I would appreciate it thank you.
>>521178502There is a dedicated gamemode in 40k for fighting inside the ships. Boarding Actions. It would actually make sense unlike disembarking and fighting on islands which happens right now. The thing is, it's all about close quarter combat in tight corridors, with big units not being allowed in. Which may be harder to do than copying BFGA battles.It would be actually funny if it served as antidoomstack mechanic too, because suddenly Legend's army of gorillaman and 19 Emperor's Titans is useless if intercepted in space.
>>521179738he had to be unbreakable for his death healing passive to work
>>521179778Caster lords are better because they don't have recruitment capacity and magic is far more important than a melee hero.Why wait until I have my mage hero building when I can recruit a caster right now so long as it's a lord?
guys all my DAC submods are bricked what do I do, all I wanted to do was play cool tweaked lotr total war.
>>521180324finish those units cards you promised
>>521179647Execute Execute Execute >>521178954lmao 40K is stupid. But it'll probably be a single planet like DoW:DC. Maybe they'll do a single system with Empire style theaters.
Slaanesh really needs some anti air units. They have no ranged and their only fliers are furies and if they have him, a Daemon Prince lord. Against armies with a ton of fliers like if the dwarfs have thunderbarges and gyrocopters, wood elves with hawk riders etc, they're kinda screwed.
wait amethyst units are permanently lost????? wtf???
>>521181448ya looks like itdon't malakai adventure units and tamurkhan chieftain units also get lost
>>521181517great so they are fucking useless lmao, back to crapstacking
>>521181045>lmao 40K is stupidShips being big in scifi are norm, how is this stupid?>But it'll probably be a single planet like DoW:DCNot going to happen, it would utterly kill both the hype and purpose of the game, while at this same time handicapping dlc potential. If you can't conquer Terra as Abaddon, they may as well not bother, just like TW:W would be pointless if you couldn't do this same to Altdorf as ground Abaddon. Total War games with small scale are dead on arrival and it has been proven repeatedly recently as well.
>>521180103ooooh that makes sense, especially with helves where it takes fucking forever to get a mage pipeline going (as Imrik anyway).I mean my Imrik campaign is effectively over, no one can contest me 1 on 1, and the only things that would challenge me would be if I declared war on the whole world but that will be fucking annoying to deal with so I don't want to do that. But I also have a pipeline set up for hero mages and I'm using standard helf lords on dragons (I have one princess, i dont remember if shes really that different from the helf prince on dragon when you get right down to it when they both have dragons). I'll keep it in mind for next time but as of now, i don't know if I need a caster lord. Is there a resource for checking what mounts generic lords and mages can get and by variation too? Like the fire mage (helf) can get a sun dragon but i dont think the other mages can, I know empire beast mage can get a griffon. These are important distinctions to keep in mind and I dont know if there's a good resource for figuring it out.
>>521181701Just don't get them killed. They can definitely earn more than their keep if you use them right.
>>521181738>If you can't conquer Terra as Abaddonyou clearly don't understand how big scale of 40k is
If TCAL doesn't reveal more DLC details this week, I'll seethe
>>521182005No lol, any unit not easily replaced cannot be relied upon, and as such is useless by default - but i understand now why people said elspeth campaign is giga garbage and ultraweak compared tamurkhan and malakai lmao, malakai can shit out thundabarges for nearly no coin at all for all eternity and tamurkhan is just straight up immortal from turn 1
>>52118203040k scale isn't big
>>521160230Norsca, Bretonnia, Tomb Kings
2 centillion rogue idols appear in your kitchen Can you beat them all?
>>521183513yes
>>521181738>it would utterly kill both the hype and purpose of the gameNo it wouldn't. Being planet/system based never hurt any other Total War or 40K based game. And staring at a galactic map would get dull real quick.
>>521183513Sqvire fetch me my spautula
>>521179647if you have the chinese VA you should do whatever it takes to employ himhe has the manliest voice in all total war games
>>521183513lets rock
>Trying to work out why I can hear Slaanesh noises >Figure CA had done something cool with Slaanesh Corruption>Turns out I just had porn playing in the background
>>521182196Can't say about Elspeth campaign being giga garbage, that's other people's opinions. But ultraweak, fuck no.My last campaign with her, literally no one could stop my army with the amethyst gunners.
alright byes, beta's up!
>>521183513>Two centillion semi-trucks would weigh 36,287 kilograms * 2 * 10^303 = 72574 * 10^303 kilograms>The "weight" or mass of the observable universe is estimated to be around 10^53 kilograms (or 10^55 grams)I could tank the singularity event
>>521179778I do this as well. I like to fill out the blue and red line skills on lords early, and with caster lords you need to invest points in magic as well. Generic lord and caster hero means I get both early blue and red lines as well as early strong magic
>>521183513they are made of rocks right? paper should do the trick>>521181926https://totalwarhammerplanner.com/
>>521184389You don't need to announce when the islanders decide to join the continent in being awake
>>521184516>I like to fill out the blue and red line skills on lords early,Same.>and with caster lords you need to invest points in magic as well.Yeah with caster lords I sometimes find it difficult to choose which things to put points into first.
>>521181926playing a game for the challenge is completely alien to me. I play from the cool lategame armies, cool terrain effects, the feel of building my empire, alliances, betrayals, and other emergent story shit. When actually faced with a challenge I'll probably start swearing, screaming and throwing things about the room. I fucking hate being challenged.
I think long, pointy stick was best invention.
>>521179778Depends on the faction, but Caster Lords are typically better in the long run as they tend to get better mounts than the Hero Casters (not always though, especially for TWW1 factions). They also tend to be a bit more point efficient with their options, at 2 points are spell rather than 3.But grabbing relevant spells means not grabbing important red line skills. Again, depends on the faction, but most factions have some great early buffs from 4 points into the red line. My second Lord is typically a caster, because I tend to get a second army out well before I can recruit caster Heroes. After that I go with melee lords + caster hero. If I get enough +rank improvements for Lords I tend to swap back to Casters though, since you can often pick up key spells and red line buffs right at recruiting.

>>521184389LETS GO!
>>521185296>literally no chaos anywhere on the mapOrder is too strong.
>>521184361becoming invincible is not the new benchmark anymore retard, being unkillable, invincible and winning the campaign turn 1 is the new benchmark, of which every dwarf faction falls under, tamurkhan, skulltaker, golgfag, changeling can do, you dont even need to do anything with those factions, you have won before you even press play
>>521185296>Ordertide has no problem pushing into Norsca and the Waste because attrition is irrelevant>Vampires get dumpstered everytime>It's always the same LLs because reddit complained about not being able to collect pokemonFucking hell.

>>521185787He played as chaos lord, so all order tide got bigger bonuses
39.498 Views on a beta patch blog is quite a lot. Looks like game is still very popular.
>>521186904this is THE triple A pc exclusive, don't you forget it
>>521186904Who was the .489 person?
>>521184361>>521182196Also fun factor. Currently I would say she's the second most interesting Empire campaign after Gelt. Then it would be Franz, then Wulfhart. Then all the way at the bottom is bald ass Volkmar and his grab ass shenanigans with fellow bald ass Manfredd.
>>521184389>beta's up and available>CA didn't annouce it going up in a separate postWhy are they like this? Will there be a video uploaded in slightly more than two hours?

what campaign are we starting to test the beta out
>>521184638ty anonas for what I said about no challenge, I think the game is actually providing me one. Just this turn Morathi got the REGIONAL POWER event. See I was kind of leaving the donut alone because I had bigger problems closer to home. But now it seems tyrion and co can't stop shitting themselves so I may have to get involved. Leave it to a son of Caledor to get shit done.I do actually own Caledor itself thanks to the event. But I'm kind of preoccupied with single handedly defending the Kislev passage from Chaos and also you can't see it in this screenshot but I've sent 3 stacks to go begin a long war against kairos and the other orcs that i have to beat to get campaign victory.So I'm asking, how best should I get imrik and company from the Dark Lands all the way to caledor? It's going to be a hell of a trek, at least I think I have military access along the whole way or can easily get it. Any ideas? Should I disband imrik and re-recruit him at Caledor itself and then recruit a new stack there? (obviously not before handing off Imrik's current stack to someone else).
>>521188387Karl for me.

Pygmies WHEN?
>You appear to be offlineYou guys having this issue too lately?
>>521188847I'm just sad for the hobby man, I can only mourn.Players and fans are now mostly social media addicted normalfag secondaries, women, and nerds who trooned out because society exploited their insecurities, there's a ton of woke pandering at the top levels and even if you ignore it, all the new lore is trash regardless, it just sucks.
>>521189803Moot > Amazonia > Pygmies
>>521189803I genuinely believe Pygmies could be added with a bit of woke sauce to lube them in.- You give them auxilliary "Men of the Southlands" units of brave intelligent strong proud black men.- You make it clear that the Pygmies are weird alien creatures that have to rely on the Men of the Southlands for some aspects (of course they're allied as equals).And that's it.>"You're saying that Africans are these small pathetic creatures????">"no no no! See? The Africans are over there standing proud! These guys are just their little friends! A fantasy race"
>>521191068Pygmies are in Lustria, not southlands
>>521191068USA and African nations are the only two cultures missing from the setting. Would be cool to get them.Wonder what kind of race would Americans be?
>>521191494The TOW map has Aethiopis and Southlander tribes on it so African peoples can at least be represented that way. Dark Elves are the only representation USA can get
>>521191185Are you sure? Let me check>>521191494Naggaroth is a post-apocalyptic wasteland that only made sense before the Old Ones.From the city of Quintex to the Monoliths in the North to the Petrified Forest to the Menfish in the underground sea, all of it points to a far away past that was destroyed by the Old Ones first and waves of Chaos invasions afterwards.Any Fantasy Iroquois or Fantasy Sioux would have been wiped out long ago.

b-b-but
>>521191185>>521191710You're right.No pygmies in the Southlands.They can't be paired up with Southlanders.THE DREAM IS DEAD.

Maybe the only way to get the Pygmies is to whitewash them - it's been done before

>Improving AI in Campaign - Part 2>The time has comeCA is going to eat all our oysters
How fun is each Kislev LL as of now? Give me a ranking.
>>521194307Ostankya (return to Kislev) > Boris (return to Praag) > Kostaltyn > Katarin > Boris
>>521194307Katarin - super funBoris - slightly less than super funKostaltyn - just kinda mehMommy Stanky - not fun at all until you unlock the power to teleport enemy armies across the map and then slightly fun
>>521193857yeah, probably. just say they are halflings that stranded in Lustria centuries ago. you can give them darker skin to reflect the climate, just not nigger dark
>>521194307On vh.Ostankya strong as always, returning to Praag actually make campaign different from other kislev playthroughs because you get covered from two sides.Katarin, got harder at first, and you really need to cheese your first siege, but gets better after. New frost maiden recruitment gives them a trait that literally slaughters leadership of infantry.Kostaltyn - was too hard for me, because skaven have too many armies by turn 4 already. Wish he had better starting units instead of horsemen, and fighting kislev vs kislev for the first two battles is pure cancer.Boris still the same, there are actually few doctrines that empower him personally, but for some reason fighting against your first enemy (khorne) got fucking harder than against Archaon. Would greatluy benefit from any caster hero in early game
Do you ever think we've kind of gone past the break even point in "Factions led by legendary lords vs minor factions"?Because we're at like a 1:1.5 ratio where it used to be about 1:3 and 1:2 ratio in games 1 and 2.It feels like IE is kind of a clusterfuck now and you can't help but pick up at least a handful of garbage traits because you're forced into war with a LL who's inevitably next door
>>521195753I should say IE is kind of a crazy mess compared to ME in game 2**
>>521195753Yes it sucks. The minor factions are almost all eliminated by turn 40 because if they aren't a starting enemy for a LL then they are next door to one, leading to their quick demise anyway. I wish the map was bigger in scale so more minor factions could be placed and space out the big major faction wars a little more.
>>521195753Every LL needing their own faction was a mistake.
>>521196082To be fair they've specifically named this as a problem area in the ai beta post.I hope they can make it so that minor factions will occasionally beat legendary lords, meaning over the campaign map you'll get a handful of minor factions that can consolidate some military power and actually survive late into the game.At least that seems like their intention
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2XT6s_w5A0HE really need an update
Reminder that Total War Null would have:>Zilch>Nada>Nihil>Nothing>Voidspace>Emptiness>Zero
>>521195753Why would you want to fight nameless whos instead of proper factions past the early game?
>>521196891Truth nuke. We must RETVRN to early Warhammer 1 lord selection.
>>521197360>nameless whos
>>521195753No i like fighting LLs instead of generics. CA just needs to remove that retarded trait cap.
>>521197360 Because fighting Malekith every 4 turns gets old fast
>>521197360So my campaigns aren't all the exact same every single time
>>521194435>Boris (return to Praag)What's the most convenient moment to go back? Immediately at the start of the game without waiting at all, just finish the starting army and don't even bother capturing the settlement? Capture the settlement then leave? Capture the first province then leave?
WHO CALLS?
>>521197867I capture the first settlement for the experience and a turn of recruitment and then head south immediately after. I start taking the yellow norscan tribe territory as I pass through it so I can abandon the first settlement and Praag is usually RATTED or about to be by the time I get there.
Ogres, m'lord
>>521197867When I did this I left after beating the first army, not capturing that settlement, and killed the Nurgle faction near Malakai and selling him those settlements before moving East to take out the minor Kislev faction holding Praag (Roppsmenn)
>>521195753Small generic lords are fewer but they do have more personality.Everybody loves Theoderic Gausser, Surtha Ek and Khorsen with his caps lock.
>>521196891A lot of characters should either be heroes or not have their own locationWulfhart's expedition now serves zero purpose with Yuan being him but better in every way
>>521160187I'm looking forward to it actually10 MORE YEARS OF WARHAMMER
NO VOICE IN OUR EARS BUT THE MAW
>>521198057>start taking the yellow norscan tribe territory as I pass through it so I can abandon the first settlementLittle trick, you can colonize first ruins instantly into t1 settlement, if you don't have anySo, on turn 2 you go to ship with marching stance, and abandon towerand then on turn 3 you get your port settlement
This is my prediction for what content is coming with Dogs of War DLC.3 LLs: Lorenzo Lupo, Borgio the Sieger, Lucrezzia BelladonnaLH: Mydas the MeanLords: Wizard Lord that will also be usable for EmpireHeroes: Amazon Serpent Priestess that will also be usable for Lizardmen.Units: Imperial Dwarves(Also usable by Dwarves and Empire.)Wythel Warriors(Wood Elves can also use.)Estalian CaballeroHalfling Hot-Pot(Also usable by Empire)Halfling Spearmen(Also usable by Empire)Halfling Archers(Also usable by Empire)Mercenary CannonMercenary PikemanBirdmen of CatrazzaTONS of RoRs usable by a lot of factions.I believe this is going to be FLC because I don't know how they can realistically sell this because almost all of their stuff came in other DLCs or base game stuff like generals and captains which they can take use from the empire. Stuff like duelists is literally just empire free company with a different name. The only way I can think of for how they might be able to sell it is to just attach the full halfling army roster to it and then upgrade Lumpin Croop to a LL instead of a RoR.

>>521200967>it basically broke the game when they removed ladders so they gave up.I really don't fucking understand why the ladders are apparently such a big fucking deal to keep in the game. They make sieges fucking stupid.
>>521200967>>Loremaster of Sotek claims

ladders are completely fine
>>521200967Now he is talking about Blood Dragons and how much better Red Duke is for an option then Walach Harkon and that Abhorrash should be a legendary hero.
>>521201229Your first province should probably be solely focused on materials production. In my experience even just 2 factory settlements tends to generate more than enough armaments for the short to mid game, but materials will always be your bottleneck to growing your starting province.
>>521200967>Warhammer will get all the Dynasties fixesPharaohGODS saving TW as we speak.
>>521201229First province outpost then factory and then mainly outposts going forward.
>>521201229>>521201549Its also one of the few factions that you actually have to invest in control/public order via buildings, tech, ancillaries, etc. Failure to do so will result in massive layoffs.

>>521201910>Kislev army>balanced
>>521200967I can believe all of it because it's logical, but there's nothing new here. We had a siege rework promised on a roadmap and never got anything nor even a mention from CABONG, so them just failing to rework it properly explains everything.

The pivot mindbroke this man so hard he's reaching peak cringe levels
>>521201959The only character pack I'd be interested in is a hero pack.This game has enough fucking lords already.
>>521202641The character only pack was going to be 4, 5, or 6 legendary lords plus a legendary hero for each one. So if it was a 4 LL pack you would also get 4 LHs. He used Beastmen and Dwarves as a race that would heavily benefit from this.
>>521202831There should be multiple DLCs left to add, if you start slapping in contentless lords in on the map then you clutter up the mess even more
>>521202972I doubt they were going to release them before finishing off race's units first.
they could just make new campaign mechanics for existing LLs and I would be pretty happy but obviously no one will buy DLC with no new LLs in it

Sotek is saying the third faction will be either Norsca or Tomb Kings.
When Loremaster says "Cathay is going to receive a loooooooooooooooooooooooooottttttttt of attention in the future" what does he mean by that?
>>521161549ULRICS CHOSEN!!! AROOOOO!!!!
>>521203520It means I've commissioned tons of porn of Miao Ying fucking various various people and monsters across the Warhammer setting.
>>521203443Nah he said Norsca is in the bag and he thinks High Elves is the third but was asked if Norsca was not in it. He said Tomb Kings would make the most sense to put in.
>>521203345The world isn't ready for High Elf Bogans
>>521203669Ah my mistake.
>>521203520>self explanatory statement>what does this mean
>>521203871>what does this meanYou're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
>>521203657Commission tons of vore pics of her instead
>>521203871Well does that mean like two DLCs and a FLC? Or does it mean something like a CoC style DLC for them? Could mean very different things. He is was pushing Vampire Bloodline CoC style DLC earlier saying he would be very upset with only Neferata and Red Duke FLC.
>>521204090it means he knows nothing and just says things for hype
Would you buy a siege dlc?
>>521202641Honestly, I would also prefer if they focused on adding Legendary Heroes instead as well. I want Queek to finally have his loyal henchman bro Ska Bloodtail to go murder-stab Dwarves with.
>>521204493Yeah, his "bro"Suuuure
>>521204179What do you mean? Like a huge map pack of siege maps and siege units for races?
>>521201959Only if each one gets a VERY unique campaign mechanic because I'm under the assumption CA would try to go >We're making Kazador playable. No mechanics. Fuck you. $5 for what modders already did for free.

>>521160230>bretonnia not being first placeYou know how many DLCs bretonnia has? They and cunts should be priority 1. Norsca can wait and they need more of a rework than actual content anyways.
>>521203239>>521203261Homefront seems to be doing well. I think I'll go slap some rats.
There were any news about the slaanny dlc? We known the second faction now?
>>521206285No
>>521206285legend said the remaining factions in his most recent video
>>521206285no and we probably won't get anything until May since that's when the Beta ends

>>521207481I hope this instructional video can explain what happenedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK4HyvS-pLQ
is there any mod that brings limited recruitment back globally?
>>521207481
So, Legend said that the siege rework is going to be pushed back to the next patch. How likely is it he is right? Has he been right before?
I'm so tired bros...
There is NO scenario where CA makes a siege rework and people are happy.They should just pretend it's not a problem and move on.
>>521160230The first 2 aren't shocking but once you start going through the list. I wonder what CA would think going through that list.
>>521209817Eat pasta + drink orange juice + nap for at least 3 hours.And then contunie playing wh3.
>>521210006I physically cannot play warhammer 3 until I know what the dlc races are.
>>521209641i mean they literally said this in the blog yesterday so hes right as far as we know
Vampire Counts don't need more units in their roster, they just need to be able to use the roster they already have - most of it is useless and redundant because you do heroes + chaff and the rest is window dressing.
>>521210274I just realized Darktide dropped the Vostroyan Firstborn outfits so I've been playing that instead.
>>521210359You can't trust what CA says though. They've been known to pivot. Only ecelebs truly know anything.
>>521210425Is darktide a good game now? Can you play with bots or do you need friends?
>>521210425darktide has no sovlvermintide had so much it got its own landmark in twwh
>>521210562darktide is just as trash as when it first came out, just with more skins
>>521210385>Coven Throne(Mount and unit)>Lahmian handmaidens>Unquiet Horsemen>Tomb StalkerI will never be happy unless I get those 4 units.
>>521210562It's fine with randoms
>>521210950randoms are just fleshbots
>>521210562It's better now, but still not great. Still needs some more maps
>>521209817brush your fucking teeth already
>>521209641>Before I dive into specifics I want to put a big caveat up front - we have read your feedback and are well aware there are other parts of the core game experience you all want us to work on. Several topics that come up regularly include SIEGES, Autoresolve, Diplomacy, Endgame and overall difficulty. >While those topics are OUTSIDE the scope of the CURRENT beta, we are making plans to work on those LATER THIS YAR. The scale of work on the abovementioned topics likely will not allow us to address everything, but we want to start from somewhere. The next game areas we will be working on are going to be SIEGE and Autoresolve, expect more information from us LATER in the year.https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs/69-total-war-warhammer-iii-improving-ai-in-campaign-part-2?page=3
>>521210937You'd use the Coven Throne because it's a mount for Vampires, and the rest is fast hard hitting units that has the same role as stuff that's already there.
Since a couple Youtubers have started saying that there are now 2 dev teams for DLC aka the Slaanesh team is different then the Omens of Destruction team who are working a different DLC. How often do you think DLCs are going to start releasing?
>>521212075every 8 months
>>521209641>Legend said
>>521212075Youtubers actually said the opposite.Only Sofia does DLC.>>521200967
>>521212075Probably June then December for the next then Slaanesh team's next one likely be April then September and one final one in 2027 is my prediction.
>>521212382That is literally what the guy I watched stream say. He said Sofia IS in charge of DLC but they are split into two separate DLC teams that get support from the UK staff(Management and writing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etu_72BzT4wJust like Loremaster of Sotek said during his stream he is expecting a Vampire Bloodlines DLC after the beta patch notes. Great Book of Grudges just uploaded his own video predicting Vampire Bloodlines DLC is coming.
>>521209641sex with archaon

>>521213708How about you read the fucking thread you idiot retard.
So were looking at:>Slaanesh/Norsca/High Elves?>Vampire Count CoC style DLC>Dogs of WarWhat would be the last 2 DLCs?
>the race you enjoy playing against as your current faction is the one that succeeded in your next area of conquering
>>521214804good feel
>>521214698Cathay has to get one more to get Li Dao. Bretonnia and its rework will be in the very last dlc as a final fuck you to Bretfags who have been waiting since WH1
>>521214698I think it is >Slaanesh-Norsca-Cathay>Dogs of War>Vampire Counts Bloodlines>Empire-Cathay-Tomb Kings>Nagash plus character only pack.
>>521214804>Settra won the southlandsbowl and you're playing literally anyone but TK
>>521214698I really don't believe the High Elves are the 3rd race theory. I think you are more likely to see Bretonnia or Cathay to join in the fun.
I haven't played in about a year any good mod came out since then
>>521214698I think we are getting a narative one too. Something like end times.
The "End Times" DLC will be an anti-climactic wet fart.It will be some dual DLC called "The Old and the New" with Nagash vs Thanquol, with Nagash being shoved into Vampire Counts or Tomb Kings + some cross-features.
>>521214804>playing empire or cathay against any undead>playing dwarfs against anyone but kislev>playing khorne against anyone>playing lizards against any combined arms faction>playing chorfs
>>521214698>Slaanesh/Norsca/Bretonnia plus Slaanesh FLC>Warhammer Skulls Event 2025: Shadowblade LH for Dark Elves.>Vampire Bloodlines plus Red Duke FLC>Dogs of War plus Egrimm FLC>Warhammer Skulls Event 2026: The rest of Felix and Gortek gang will join as order LHs.>Cathay/Tomb Kings/Empire plus Yin-Yin FLC and MK is Li Dao's LH AND Todbringer as an extra bonus FLC LL.>End Times/Storms of Chaos event and character pack with Nagash, Thanquol, and Valten, Bugman, Araloth, Crom(If he is not the Norscan LL), and Caradryan to get all the major missing End Times characters in.Notes:>High Elves will get skycutters in a random patch as a FLC unit.>Green Knight will become a proper LH in the Bretonnia rework.>Krell will become a proper LH in the Vampires rework.
>>521216117I 100% believe they are going to make Nagash the Tomb Kings DLC LL. He was previously in the Tomb Kings roster with Settra before Tomb Kings got split off of Vampire Counts into their own race.The only thing he would really need is the ability to confederate all Vampire Counts, Vampire Coast, and Tomb King lords and the able to recruit all their units.
>>521216942>He was previously in the Tomb Kings rosterNot exactly, he was Undead, he was with Settra and Mannfred together
>>521167059Gryphon riders would actually be great for Kislev
My idea for an "End Times" dlc is just to do a big final patch intead of a dlc.>Let Archaon confederate all chaos lords and become the Everchosen.>Let Nagash confederate all undead lords and become the God of Undeath.>Let Malekith confederate all elvish lords and become the Eternity King of all elves.Add a couple events and MAYBE an incarnate system for winds of magic. Possibly even some events to let other characters take the confederation ability. Let's say Mortkin is added to Norsca he could potentially become the Everchosen over Archaon instead. Maybe a high elf legendary lord could alternatively proclaim himself Eternity King instead.
>>521217946How about you keep all that gay ET shit out of the game? It has enough as it is
what's the single worst part of ET?
>>521218469This.Don't add Thanquol.
>>521167059They could add all of this in and it wouldnt even change the OP ranking with how ridiculous WH3 has gotten with powercreep
>>521217946>intead of a dlc.Wh3 is still a money printer why are you guys always forget about this?CA will milk this game untill they are sure they can make this kind of guaranteed money from their next game. So get excited about another Empire dlc, big Cathay dlcs, Elf dlc, Vampire dlc, DoW, Nagash etc.
>>521218572Skarsnik taking control of the largest explosive in the history of the world and never blowing it up.
Next DLC was going to be Slaanesh/Slaanesh/SlaaneshNow that I've told you, CA is pivoting to something I might actually want
>>521214698>Slaanesh/Norsca/Cathay>Dogs of War/Siege Rework>Fifth Dwarf Rework with Bugman and new generic dwarf units + extra mechanics + every dwarf faction now starts with a free thunderbarge + caps on unique units for all other factions except thunderbarges>Nagash Mega DLC with Neferata/Bloodlines rework, abhorash, ushoran etc>Empire/High Elves/Dark Elves>Ind vs Nippon special faction DLC>Sixth Dwarf Rework/Norse Dwarves Faction DLC>Araby Faction DLC>Vampire Coast/Tomb Kings/Lizadmen with Tomb Kings AND Lizardmen rework>Seventh Dwarf Rework/Southern Dwarves Faction DLC>Pygmies vs Amazons special faction DLC>End Times DLC>Eight Dwarf Rework/Eastern Dwarves Faction DLC>End Times Hotfix DLC>Ninth Dwarf Rework/Western Dwarves Faction DLC>End Times Second Hotfix DLC>Final Dwarf Rework>CA announces departure from Warhammer as a project year 2065
>>521219021Slaanesh is a great faction actually.Unfortunately its power level is below zero, but you get to play with the enemy's units and have 100 outposts everywhere to get all kinds of allied units too, even from unthinkable order factions.Alas you don't have the tools to grow out of control and have fun until it's late and nothing matters.
I remember a post from couple of generals back talking about how CA has license for TWW till 2027. If that is true then I don't expect a new Total war game till then.
>The world... will drown! In VLAD!>Hungry... for VLAD!Vlad is such a goofball.
>if someone attacks your ogre camp while you're reinforcing it you cant run away and if you lose your reinforcing army gets completely wiped outfucking thing sucks
>>521220347>if you lose your reinforcing army gets completely wiped outOnly if you are in force march.
>>521220623nah i wasnt in force march
>>521220347Want to hear another funny one?You can't run away and you get fully wiped if you are the one intercepting an Underground battle.I had three stacks moving around Grimgor but he just kept using tunnels and "getting caught" by my armies one by one, forcing single battles as if he had lightning strike. He killed the first army, then the second, then the third: no escape, no reinforcements.
If you get morathi's defeat trait 10 times does that make hero actions free?
>>521221290They are free by default
>>521221290Yes. But i think all those lords must be active on the map.
WE is one of factions in upcoming dlcTheir new lord is Naieth who starts in norsca
>>521221647I need to get that trait manager mod and see if getting it enough times means you get paid to do actionsyou never know how CA codes things
>>521160037what is with the ships shit? are we getting some naval stuff?
>>521178502I will literally have a meltdown if this is true
>>521219021>>521219114why don't trannies all flock to slaanesh and tau they would be happy there
>>521213076>factions prioritizing their thematic bloodlinesYeah no, that's 100% a full Bloodlines DLC incoming. Every single VC faction right now is just Von Carstein (except Kemmler who isn't even vampire-related).
>>521222150No.>what is with the ships shit?Random bullshit.
I am 100% excited for the Vampire Bloodlines DLC. Now if I can just get an Ulrican army dlc for Empire with Valten and a Norsca dlc I can die happy.
>>521223782You're not real, I can't fathom anybody giving a shit about Valten of all things
>>521223885Well I want Boris Todbringer more but he is going to be FLC. So for the DLC I am picking the best available option left. It is either him or ar-Ulric to lead an Ulric infantry DLC so I will pick Valten every time.
>>521224246Valten is a LH at best.
>start new elspeth campaign>get only Wissenland, Solland and Winter's Teeth fort>just do nothing, except diplomacy and building>AI empire is winning the campaign aloneSo? Did the new AI patch fix this?
>hey everyone, it's me, Valten!
>>521224303He is literally a LL on tabletop and his LH is Luthor Huss who I would like with him in the DLC so Sigmarite factions get something too. I would swap out warriors of Ulric for Celestial Hurricanum since Swords of Ulric RoR is basically the sword version of Warrriors of Ulric.
>>521224307No the nerfs to Vlad and whatever they changed to make drycha and azhag go to war every single time have taken a lot of pressure off the empire. It wasn't the AI stuff in 6.1
I saw the new AI patche said it made Thrott better with more cheats right?He is now a Very Important RatBad news for Kislevites who are clearly not as Important as he/him
>>521224379I will never get into Age of Sigmar just because of how dumb looking the units are.

Why do factions that doesn't resent me or is needed to be destroyed for the short or long victory stab me in the back? Poor game design imo
I don't even remember what the Empire used to be like in Warhammer 1 before any DLC.Did it have handgunners? I remember using a lot of Mortars & Crossbows and being underwhelmed by Greatswords.
>>521226103It's on 4 and they keep making the rules worse or expect 5 soon
>>521226106the verb and the subject need to match.
>>521226103My dude, there's been four editions.
>>521226356Why
>>521226250You wouldn't know because in Warhammer 1 battles were so grueling and autoresolve so lenient that after a while you'd never touch manual battles.
>>521226404People buy when new editionMake new edition every other yearPlayer always buy to keep up
lmao
>>521226404Because greed. Think about the fucking shitstorm that were Primaris marines and how they blatantly tried to just make every previous mini Space marine players ever had obsolete via new rules so that they'd have to buy their whole army all over again. Now look at that anon's pic and realize what they've been doing with the Stormcasts.
>>521226250I remember Legend roling around with 14 swordsman + 4 guns and auto reseolving everything.
>>521226404It's the best Warhammer game to play.
>>521224626SIEGE ARK SHIP
>>521226035No. Sigmar just used Karl Franz corpse to puppet around in after he Sigmar took his soul back from Valten's body. Karl Franz's soul got put in one of those things just like Felix and Balthazar Gelt.
>>521200967>>Claims CA is only big enough to work on one total war game at a time now plus one additional project which he says is a sequel to Alien: Isolation.https://x.com/CAGames/status/1843315540431184202>Our return to the survival-horror genre alongside in-development titles across Fantasy and HistoricalEcelebs are yellow journalists whose singular motivation is getting eyeballs on their channels as doing so is how they get revenue. So speculative bullshit widely off the mark is par the course. Hyenack was cancelled in 2023, this is october 2024 so "things changed" doesn't fly.
>>521226806Then where did Sigmar's body come from in AoS
>>521225648Soon as a Saga game
So is real life Warhammer now all Age of Sigmar or are people still playing the old Fantasy?Or did no one ever play Fantasy and it's all WH40K because it's cooler?
>>521226812CA also said they have multiple projects to announce this year AFTER they announce Alien Isolation 2, so there was never any "1 game only" speculation outside of shitposting here for the last couple weeks. I double down on what I said earlier >>521201386Youtubers pull their "leaks" from here and reddit for views because everyone just forgets when they're wrong as long as they don't go full retard with it like legend.
>>521227220People are playing AoS, Warhammer fantasy, and The Old World. And 40k too but that's another genre fuck em
>>521227237>this year AFTER they announce Alien Isolation 2,Where did you see that? I haven't seen anything that says AFTER. That could very well be one of the two games they announcing.
>>521228037They announced Alien Isolation 2 in early october 2024
>>521227220A lot of people don't Age of Sigmar because only like 3 characters survived the destruction of the world who weren't chaos. Gortrek, Sigmar, and Araloth.(Who is still missing in his pocket realm.) They did resurrect a bunch of people though like Nagash, Morthati, Malekith, Tyrion, and Teclis as gods.. Then you got people turned into mindless husks like Balthazar Gelt and Karl Franz because their souls were put in them. They just revealed that Katarin is like some of weird ghost ice goddess now. Then you got people that were fully resurrected like Neferata and Mannfred and that is about it.
I want to like AoS because I think planewalking is cool and I hate what MtG has become but AoS is just so fucking gay I couldn't get into it. Even played Realms of Ruin.

>>521230016That is Age of Sigmar the worst game setting that gamesworkshop has ever made.
When they add Neferata to the game are they allowed to use the End Times model since it was carried over to Age of Sigmar or do they have to use her older edition models instead? I just don't want the stupid fucking hat from End Times. The rest of the armor is fine.

Enemy armies that are in underway stance should not be able to run, right? The UWS depletes your entire movement point pool and is treated like being in forced march IIRC. But in MY game the AI made an exception so their army could sack my T3 settlement behind my back, because the entire game is designed to troll, bully and frustrate the player, just like EU4.
>>521219114>Eastern Dwarfs DLCThe Shorturai
>>521232886Run how? As in underway then move after? No.Or do you mean if they're in underway stance they can't retreat if they're attacked? Because yes they can retreat if attacked after underway moving.
>>521233336you retard, when has 'run' ever meant 'move'.
>>521233439Then yes, they can retreat after moving in underway.

I see a lot of Valten hate in these threads. So let's take a poll of every possible remaining LL for Empire and see who you would rather lead the final Empire DLC.https://strawpoll.com/XmZRQzrBLgd
>>521235008Valten is less interesting as a character than a completely regular generic empire general.
>>521233780isn't that the point? It makes you immortal basically at the trade off it will turn to dust instead of giving gold if you are greedy
also, for Tamurkhan's chieftains, the game softlocks you after you unlock the second one because upping his fealty requires you to raze settlements or to fight Cathay/Kislev/Norsca, and you're not gonna be doing that anytime soon because you're surrounded by orcs and chorfs and need to make a path to nuln and kugath.
>>521235008I would want him strictly for faction mechanics which would be far more interesting then any of the other choices.
>>521222150>>521222805
>>521235351>It makes you immortano, sword of khaine makes you immortal, nemesis crown does almost nothing and only gives you crippling debuffs, its objective extremely fucking garbage and on top of that, it goes away, so you cant even comfy RP with it or do a challenge run to cripple yourself on purpose cause you constantly have to fight with it
>>521235008Valten is the only interesting Empire character
>>521235008>no Emmanuelle >not voting
>march Elspeth to the donut>slap Tyrion and steal his sword>teleport back to Nulnnothing personal kid
>>521235008>Celestial HurricanumThis is going to be the centerpiece unit for the last Empire DLC since there are no other options. It doesn't fit with any of the other choices. All Empire units can fit with him though. Plus he would likely be a melee infantry boosting lord which makes me want him more. That and the potential for faction mechanics is well beyond any other option.
>>521236307I will totally fit the DLC coming with Wizard Lord.
>>521235925>Not a legendary lord.>Has no zero combat training.>Her faction was stolen by her champion ElspethThat being said I would have loved to have her. She could just go around buffing units on the battlefield while cheering but not be able to fight.
Valten is fat.I dont like him.
>>521230864Someone answer me?
Is it just me or are dark elf masters like extremely good hero? Anti large, shield, very decent stats, SUPER fast on dark pegasus, easy access to regen or hunger from title.I cant even consider leaving these two stooges out of my Morathis army.
>>521235567What faction mechanics?
>>521235008Marius Leitdorf would be awesome, but idk much about what he could add to the empire roster. But god, imagine the unhinged voicelines.Helborg could be a LH.Lietpold is more related to dogs than empire.Valten is more LH material.Emil is the more rational choice since he could add ulrican units, but idk how that would work with toddy getting added as a FLC. Maybe they could get a vlad/isabella deal so they can start in the same zone.
Helborh should have been a lord instead of Wulfhart

I find it funny Pharaoh Dynasties got old Total War back somewhat but doesn't matter as Pharaoh's launch was a fucking disaster, and also Hyenas. So hopefully next historical Total War is actually good.

>>521235008in order of uniqueness potential>valteni do not understand the valten hate. he could have some really fun mechanics with the whole sigmar reborn/chosen one thing. he also works thematically with ANY empire units so that goes for him. in both timeless he was the defender of mdidenheim and commanded ulrican and sigmarite troops.>marius leitdorfhe would get madness mechanics from luthor harkon and he could work thematically with wizard/halfling combo since he tried to genocide the halflings of the moot after his engineers went missing there. maybe he could have a mechanic where he randomly declares war on allies at the start of a new turn.>ar-ulriche has to start in middenheim no matter what. he is like the pope in the vatican rules his portion of the city not under boris. which creates a huge issue because boris has to start there too because he is the elector-count. he could have a rivalry mechanic similar to what katarin and kostalyn used to have with volkmar if they move volkmar back to the empire which is not going to happen. he aint allowed to leave far from the city either unless the is doing battle nearby which contradicts lore if he started somewhere far off and would be ridiculous. he also does not fit with celestial at all. he could work as a lh for boris>lietpold the blackhe got moved to the empire from dogs of war during forge world. i do not see the point of him though since we got elspeth from that. i guess he could have a somewhat unique merc mechanic that would only be unique for empire lords.>kurt helborgboris also would be very similar to him so what is the point? buff reiksguard? literally what karl franz already buffs. his weapon is also the solland elector count weapon in game so they would have to do extra work and change that too. he only works thematically with knights too which the empire has a lot of so units could they possibly put him with? i cannot think of any mechanics for him that would be unique.

>>521245382Who's the real fool, the person enjoying the game or the person who can no longer enjoy it
>>521242672I can imagine a mechanic for Nippon where it goes something like>Innovation/Tradition/Spirituality meter>focusing on Innovation buffs gunpowder, artillery and foreign units from Allied Recruitment, as well as trade income and research speed>focusing on Tradition boosts archers, melee and cav, as well as public order>focusing on spirituality boosts non-human folklore units and magic users, as well as fighting against corruption and ChaosAlso it would be cool if the Nipponese factions serve the Emperor who is a normal Human who has been alive for centuries but whose mind has started to crack, leading to increasingly strange and nonsensical missions that you have to do to avoid debuffs. Like it starts off with something like "Declare War on nearby Chaotic faction" but then becomes stuff like "Demolish 5 buildings" or something.
>>521245875The person assuming others are not enjoying the game.
>>521246069It's usually the case with people who dunk on others having fun
They added a new legendary lord/lord hero in the beta patch. I know this is going to sound like a joke but if your randomly generated name for your hero or lord is Dick Half-Mast. Then he gets a unique legendary trait and status. It has a description and effects and everything and there is even a defeat trait if he spawns as a lord instead of hero.Once gain as ridiculous as this sounds it is real.
>>521246000How I'd personally write Nippon's lore is there is an internal struggle between Chaos aligned traditions and Order aligned traditions, so the country is sort of the eastern version of Norsca but not completely in Chaos's camp.
>>521246137You're still having fun. You're just doing it without bragging about something incredibly stupid. Believe me, I'm saving you future embarrassment.
Who's the most fun faction in Shogun 2? And who is by far dogshit? I don't know much of Shogun 2 but why does being Christian negatively affect relations with other factions?
A suspiciously wealthy Tilean merchant just gave me 20,000 gold to buy sjoktraken.....
>play order faction>know I'm going to end up creating superwarsaw and make the game boring>use Force Diplomacy to make the game more fun by having either the donut declare war on the miners or the stunties declare war on the knife ears>watch the empire and bretonnia get caught in the middle of two empires at each others throats
>>521246535>Who's the most fun faction in Shogun 2? It depends on your preference. Every single faction is "do you like X? if so, play us", and it all depends on what your favorite unit is.>And who is by far dogshit?Hattori unquestionably.>I don't know much of Shogun 2 but why does being Christian negatively affect relations with other factions?Because Japan is an insular xenophobic nation that barely tolerates Buddhism, and in comes a religion preached by greedy Portuguese merchants that tells them all their gods are fake.

Don't they always add meme traits before a major dlc release? Like the Settra defeating the generic Norscan lord defeat trait?
This kind of little dev injoke is soulful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

>>521248212To the other question I forget if S2 predated vg or not. Think it did by a year or two. It wasn't as big of a release but it didn't suffer the bad issues of Napoopan and Empire (aside of realm divide and glossiness, but those are moot compared to Empire's crumminess). Frankly the Empire to R2 period until Attila was a dark age for total war. I vaguely recall we arr rook same we arrr fite same but that may have been post R2 looking back at S2. FOTS' reception on release was universally positive though.>>521248391I like it, it's a kind of building up unique total war hammer lore like Suthra Ek's chariots.>>521248226>-50% less building time local provinceDamn son

Not that it matters, I'm clearly not the audience but it looks like they're a society dedicated not to Sigmar but making people stand/sit on ever more complicated platforms.
Does that mean Flaccid Appendage for Slaanesh lords is going to get a legendary trait too when the Slaanesh dlc arrives?

>They really think 40k won't happen>They really think a historical title can carry CA as hard as Warhammer did aloneHAHAHAHAHAIf anything they're waiting to announce it together with the 11th edition at this point.
>>521250089
Why is their fur so green??
>>521250169Wouldnt be first time gaming companies have turned down literally free money.
>>521250671The difference here is that Hyenas happened, SEGA is breathing down their necks and already sees 40k as a possibility given that survey they made.
>>521250089kostaltynn was supposed to be the 2nd DLC LL.
>>521250538...you know what, I'd be all in for adding some sort of witcher equivalent of magically enhanced monster hunters to the Kislev roster + LL, they'd fit right in with all the folklore monster bullshit that came with Ostankya plus the Chaos bullshit.
>>521188389>REGIONAL POWER eventi think this basically means that the ai faction finished their short or long victory conditions, forget which one
>>521250671Well, CA is retarded enough to not make Med3 for almost 20 years
>>521251024They really have to despise this time period.
>>521250846What? No the base game was originally going to be Katarin, Ivan, and Kostalyn. Then gamesworkshop blocked CA from using Ivan saying he wasn't canon anymore so they added Boris instead.
>play AI Beta>enemy aggressively moves 3 stacks full of decent shit at turn 18Neat, it is fun. Factions are dying far more, it feels more dynamic.>>521250846I hope they'll get another DLC anyway, Kislev is pretty fun after the rework.
>>521250947NotWitcher would be better as an assassin hero than discount Witch Hunter
>>521251024Its because they literally can't sell DLC off it for long term profit. Even in Medieval two the factions weren't very unique and had like 1 unique unit.No one wants to buy a DLC for a single unit to add to play at a new part of the map.
>>521195753Every LL that isn't the head honcho of their race like Malekith or Franz should be partially randomized>x continent desires y legendary lords>pick y LLs from the pool, the rest are benched (or perhaps they're added into the race leader's lord pool, show up later as rogue armies or as part of an event)>every LL that isn't a race leader gets one extra alternative start position>checks are made to ensure nobody starts too close (ex: if Elspeth is in then Gelt's alternative starting position of Solland can't be picked)>special rules depending on the player's chosen faction (ex: if you choose to play one of the 8 peaks trio the other two MUST spawn)
I'd like to try the Beta, but... How am I supposed to play without all my bloatmods... I'm not going back to nonunique Electors
>>521251161>Ivan Radinov is a prince of Kislev and the heroic younger brother of the ruling Tzarina Katarin Bokha.>While his sister oversees Kislev with icy efficiency, Prince Ivan spends his time on daring adventures. He is nominally the cavalry commander of the Gryphon Legion, but he rarely spends much time in their barracks headquarters. He prefers his freedom and dangerous lifestyle, but when a real threat emerges and his beloved sister is in danger, Ivan leads the grim Winged Lancers of the Gryphon Legion in defence of Mother Kislev.Damn, why didn't they let this guy stay canon? He sounds rad as fuck. It'd also reinforce the fact that Boris and Katarin actually have a loving, supportive family that don't let power or thirst for it get between them.
>>521251370Bullshit. There isn't more unique time period. It's the easiest game to milk. You could split it in two even like Paradox did with CK and EU and still shit out tons of dlcs.
>>521250834>already sees 40k as a possibility given that survey they made.It's crazy how people forgot that survey, you can bet your ass 40k was at the top asked game, seconded by med 3 in historical,
>Avelorn is currently holding sword of Khaine>No1 on the map has itIs this a bug? Should it show up back at shrine if I destroy Averlorn?
>>521251370>we cant make good finished games anymore>we NEED to make copypasta slop for at least 10 years and milk our customers with shitty dlc every couple months
>>521242532I played a Queek campaign and it was fun, specially recruiting stormvermin in one turn and already at silver chevrons, only then I captured Karak Eight Peaks and what do you know: the great reward for Queek getting K8P is buffs mainly to weapon teams. And also gutter runners, but I don't much care for them if I'm not playing Snikch.
>>521249079If you have other means of dealing with the armored shit then shields. If you do not, then halberdsIf you ask me just universally, I'll say shields.
>>521251726I doubted 40k but at this point now I do suspect 40kTW and M3. The problem is they said 'fantasy and historicals' for the tweet, so unless they lump sci-fi in fantasy I dunno.Nightmare scenario is age of sigmar TW. Though once you can edit models the whatever the fuck donut steel high elf name is look okay if you remove their giant horns
>>521251370They can sell tons of DLC for it.>Crusades>Slavic shit>Japan mini shogun>Black plague expansion for every faction>Iberics>Mongols>Italy and bizantine.Fuck they could do so much...
Med 3 released in three stages, with Europe, Middle East+India, then Asia
What's the longest time you've been in a siege battle? With no cheesing either.
>>521252403not calling 40k fantasy is downright disingenuous desu
>>521251734you sure someone from avelorn is wielding it, and isn't just occupying the shrine of khaine?
>>521252669nowhere close to legend
>>521252512>>521252439There is nothing stopping them from releasing multiple dlcs for a single faction even, like they do with TWW. You could have multiple HRE dlcs.
>>521252669with no cheesing the battle should take less than 10 minutes because cheesing is synonymous with strategy, and no strategy implies you just A move your army into the walls and lose everything
>>521252752The shrine is mine. When I press the icon it jsut pans to their capital. Scanned the entire donut vicinity and no red swirlies anywhere. Not to mention Ive dealth with her for so long now Aint no way she has army stashed somewhere at this point.
>>521252813>archer spamVomit inducing
>that one cheat that makes the elves all have jrpg faces>even has a Camilla dreadladyI guess that's one way of differentiating them from humans. Still prefer vanilla models + retextures for the most part though.
>>521251370>Its because they literally can't sell DLC off it for long term profitAre you fucking stupid? They would make so fucking much off adding different playable countries and shit if it's Medieval 3.Ottomans or Mongolians would sell a fuck ton. You vastly underestimate European history and how much people love the Medieval era.

>>521254241>Xeno's cumKinda gay?
>>521251370Medieval 2 came out 20 years ago. It's like comparing COD:Bloops 6 to COD1. If anything the issue people will have with M3 is the sheer bloat of DLC.As a back of the napkin analysis:>3 separate releasesEither the classic R1/R2 map Western Eurasia and North Africa // East and Central/South Asia // Americas. Or Europe + North Africa (up to Sinai and Anatolia) \\ Middle East to Central Asia \\ East Asia.>Timeline shifts1070 was the original starting date of M2. It covered ~380-450 years depending on if it was pre-kingdoms (1453 at a minimum), or kingdoms (1520 given you fight the aztecs). We won't see that kind of broad scope most likely (at least on release) but rather zoomed in time period campaigns:High Medieval: 1070 to late 1200s. Mongols + Crusades.Attila/Pharaoh style "collapse" Campaign: 1300s - Black death, Tamerlane. Pike and Shot: If not a standalone release expansion or sequel then 1500sTheoretically you could release these as full on attila style expansions (which would mean a turkish DLC for the high medieval campaign, an Ottoman DLC for the collapse/pike and shot DLC. Probably with some kind of discount where if you own a factions DLC in a prior historical period you get them half off or whatever)>Faction/culture packsTotal wars tend to release with 8-10 factions. You have a pick of who you start with, but you can see a DLC for all number of shit. While the anon consulting AI has anachronisms (Byzantine empire didn't co-exist with Epirus and Trebizond until after the 1200s, Khazars are long gone at this point, ect.) the principle is the same - Italian-city state DLC gives you factions that play like the Vampire Counts, nomad DLC that lets you play a whole different style, ect.Now for unit variety -

>>521254557
>>521255029Is it bad that I think its kinda hot she looks vaguely like David Bowie?
>>521255145He won 10 minutes or so after that screenshot.
>>521254228Because Malakai is the closest non-chaos faction. Malus have a big bonus to relations towards deamon factions because of T'zarkan and he gets into the wars thanks to Malekith. So Epi just gets bored and declares war on you.Its retarded. Malus should be declaring war on everyone around him.
I hate these moments of waiting for the DLC factions to be revealed because I just sit there staring at the campaign select screen looking from one faction to another going all>Hmmm, that one?>No, it could be the DLC faction and then I might burn out on them before it releases...
>Tried to do my onw total wars with AI help>Now I'm in a existential crisis that whatever CA makes will never come close to my ideas + AIAI is the death of humankind.

>>521254602An Orc Boyz and a dwarf are fundamentally the same unit - same spearmanni (Or axemanni). Just different skeleton, animations, and obviously model and texture. The difference is in presentation and in stats. Which is what's key for a historical total war to make up for the deficiency of reality lacking fantastical units. Make spearmanii vs Spearmanii different the way orc boyz and dwarfs are:>SkeletonNot necessary in this case.>AnimationOne of the key elements here. Different animation, which we know results in different combat performance. The easy example is applicable to Rome2, but fundamentally make a hoplite vs a scutum-spearman vs a barbarian spearmen fight radically differently. Not button to click different, but literally different animations. >Stats/roleThey are exaggerated (In a good way) in warhammer, so do the same here. Save the sameness and historical realism for mods and go with that approach in history. You can't quite do monstrous infantry or cavalry - in theory. In practice you could give units with a particular reputation for invulnerability (The Turkish Agulani in the First crusade account, the best Norman knights according to Anna Comenna) a much higher survivability that allows them to be as tanky as Bull Centaurs. But you can easily render skaven-esque units (fast, shit morale, hordes), or dwarves (obv). >>521255243The eldar were intentionally designed to channel that kind of Davie bowie androgyny, so it's doing what it intends.
Noble sons abroad!
>>521256520Doesn't go as hard as STIRLAND'S REVENGE
>>521255504I still wait for a lizardmen campaign update as aside of Oxycom their great geomantic web thing seems so boring. I expect I will enjoy them when I finally play that. But I know that feel.>>521256240Continuing, that in retrospect I am shocked CA never considered Waywatcher/Deepwood scout style units for a historical: 360 degree fire while moving infantry skirmishers are entirely plausible to real life (and frankly would be more common than regimental archers) and I can dig up accounts of the Spanish in the new world regarding natives doing just that. So whereas as England you're doing regimental legend of total war or whatever that muppet was with the high elf spearmen then archer lines who got bodied by da biggest gobbo Grom, if you play as Wales you're going full gorilla warfare.
>>521257020>that muppet was with the high elf spearmen then archer lines who got bodied by da biggest gobbo GromLet it never be forgotten that it was milkandcookies.
>>521257163

>>521257020I really want to get into Oxyotl sometimes but I just can't handle doing skink heavy armies. They just don't click for me for some reason, even though I've perfectly been able to do gobbo stacks with Skarsnik or even play Queek for infantry heavy skaven. But Oxy's chameleons just never impress me.

>>521257163Thanks I remembered of course DA BIGGEST AND GREENEST THERE IS but I forgot whom he krump'd.>>521257374Yeah that was my dilemma with him. I want the lizardman experience, the LLs look great it's just I expect a very good and rich campaign map experience or some kind of fun mechanic to make map painting more fun (That's another underappreciated element for history to work with that Warhammer has done great with how every faction and typically within a faction as well have unique mechanics to involve your attention). It's hard to go from the chorf's GOAT shit to leylines. It's an issue with DLC creep where the subsequent lords have more fun or thought out mechanics than their predecessors. Updates can help mitigate that, but some factions just have more involved campaign map experiences than others.>>521258304I just buy the idea that once you can simulate reality why bother with reality. The only people who do are more liable to be the, to use a 40k metaphor, exodites who go amish. It'll be less the interstellar martian-settlers who don't take a blue pill and more the Montanan cattle farmer.ChatGPT has been a bit helpful when I've had substance painter questions. It is often wrong but it helps point me in a right direction as a sounding board.
>>521255243It's intentional.
>>521252752It was a bug. When I took the last settlement Averlorn had (no lord) it offered me the sword.

>>521262383AR chance is modified by a random dice roll, adding or removing an item switches to a different dice roll, the one you got adding the item was a bad roll

>>521262932I already said that, bozo >>521262590
>>521255504I mean you can rule out the vast majority of them. Apart from Slaanesh, the only factions with a chance of being in the next DLC are Helves, Delves, Nosrca, Vamp Cunts and maybe (very unlikely) Cathay. Everyone else is fair game.
>>521262383AR chance is influenced by a random dice roll. Changing your items triggers a different roll, and the one you received when adding the item happened to be a bad one.
>>521255504>cant play cathay because it might be on the next dlc>cant play lizards, brets, vamps, tk, or helves because surely they'll get a rework soon>don't want to play empire becauae I've had enough>don't want to play dwarfs because it's been 2 updates since their last rework, meaning they'll be getting another one>don't want to play greenskins because maybe I'll get gorbad one day>don't want to play Kislev because I've never heard anyone say before or after the rework that they had fun>don't like welves, delves, or chaos>ogres are for extermination>forget vampirates exist until one declares war on me
>>521261802Yeah if there is effort put in then you're fine. The medieval period is tied with the Rome 2 period for an abundance of visualizations to work with (compared to attila) so as to avoid we arr rook same. I like the little tee-shirt-jerseys the Spanish high medieval knights wore for instance. The biggest hurdle for M3 as I see it is that like it or not it would not release fully stocked. Like WH2 or Wh3 it'd need a lot of time to ferment and fill in the gaps. The question is how you approach that. I'd say fully releasing the map and then filling it in is much better than going regional and expanding it later. I did not buy WH3 until IE came out, I did not buy Pharaoh until the combined dynasties map was confirmed. So if they did a M3 that was just Western Europe if it had Spain+Maghreb/Italy/Sicily I'd probably get because that'd give me mileage of stuff to play/mod with. But if it was say France/British Isles/Germany/Scandinavia and that was it until some later update then lol no.>>521263097We laugh but Xcom 3 is never ever while girls frontline is getting an XCom clone so haa haa hee hee hoo hoo it's the age of the waifus, total war waifu is not out of the question.Why I still think D&D:TW was what they should do. Full on embrace the RPG mechanics, make an RPG-RTS Total War where you can create your own Legendary Lord (and heroes), build them as you wish. All sorts of fantastical mounts and magic. That said you'd be dealing with WOTC who make GW look like saints
>>521263798Even Slaanesh is not guaranteed. Remember when they first revealed the teaser for the monogod DLCs? They showed Tzeentch - Nurgle - and then what appeared to be a Slaaneshi background. But it ended up being Khorne after Nurgle. Lets wait for them to release the DLC before assuming it will be Slaanesh.

Not to mention the Blessed Spawnings are a nothing mechanic and the Geomantic Web is literally just numbers that take up a building slot to even make it do anything.
>>521265098You best give up on that
>>521266492On Med 3 or Rome 3? Cause neither of them are happening. But really I want Empire 2
>>521266198>Six should have been the limitThe Empire is probably going to have the most lords by the end considering they're confirmed to have 1 more DLC and there's more than enough content left for them to get 2 more. Not to mention they still have 0 FLC lords.

>>521266852Druchii are the strongest dark elf race by far.
I have never played Lizards. How do they play? And which lord should be my first?
>>521267201No one plays skaven anymore.

>>521267201>>521267404I'll play Skaven will Clan Mors gets a complete rework so playing Queek is like playing a generic lord with a generic faction that has no mechanics.Eight Peaks doesn't count, its a shitty unfun mechanic.
How am I supposed to build Elspeth's army? Engineer lords are just straight up better for war machines and gunnery infantry, which always leaves her in a weird position of being a good caster to not leave her at home for recruiting, but she doesn't synergize with her army either
>Chariots can easily just solo the battlefield>But because you're forced to micro manage them, no one uses them
>>521267594>originalWoC and Greenskins were in the game in 2016.
>>521267690Just be yourself. You can't lose as her either way.
>>521267727Good luck winning anything in WH1 with skarnik like that.
>>521267727WoC were not a launch faction.
>>521267724micro on more than 4 units means slowmode and thats mindnumbingly boringit doesnt help that I've noticed melee and movement orders are being dropped now that the fire at will bug was patched the AI really doesnt want you to play against it
>>521267690Thunderer frontline is so based.
>>521267607Queek is LITERALLY a generic lord you tard. He never had anything special going for him in the lord or tabletop.
>>521266617Rome 3
>>521267724Mobility will always be the most powerful tool in Total War. Even in a game with cavalry as shit as Warhammer, all high mobility armies are absolutely busted. Gun lines and SEU spam are just much easier to use.
>>521267885I didn't say they were.
>>521267885>>521268178They were literally a Day 1 DLC you mongs
>>521267273>MazdamundiThrow out spells from behind a staunch line of saurus warriors.>Gor-rokYour saurus warriors are extra tough, throw Kroak spells from behind them.>Kroq-garYour saurus warriors are extra cheap so drown the enemy in them (and put some of them on cold ones for some hammer and anvil action).>TehenhauinRecruit skinks, kill ratmen, remember skinks fucking suck, replace them with dino spam as soon as you can.>Tiktaq'toSet up the aerial defence lizard force, throw in some saurus to clean up whatever your terradons don't manage to finish with their shots, eventually realize terradons don't actually do diddly and just go saurus spam again.>NakaiAcquire a bunch of sacred kroxigors, charge at the enemy, enjoy the carnage and fun animations, roam the world wondering what to do.>OxyotlHoly shit skinks ARE good, play skirmisher and sneaky cunt with a backup of roman legionnaire skinks, a bit like Snikch but instead of MI6 you're X-COM.
>>521265530Pathfinder is far too pozzed to make anything work
>>521268235Yeah but not an original launch faction which is why I said "in 2016".
>>521268014>Engine so bad that they devs have to choose between a Fire At Will bug or a Melee Attack bugFucking lol. Rome 2 strikes again. I wonder if they could reduce the AI's rather absurd micro to fix the issue.
>>521268349>pozzed>>>/pol/And don't come back.
No one gives a fuck about lizardfags because lizardmen are THE most low IQ braindead faction in the game
>>521268091>you don't get it, he's suppose to be bad!!!CA, hire this man
>>521268423Port the engine fixes from Pharaoh and Dynasties.
>>521268550The fact that none of 3K's good shit got into Warhammer 3 tells me CA is not that smart.
>>521266852Is this guy the one that's been trying to put down any and all suggestions on what to add to any race with "they're already complete" like with Bretonnia earlier? It's just one raging faggot who also happens to be the one person in the world that thinks delves got nerfed with the slave change?
>>521268423AI micro should be part of difficulty settingsIts always been reacting to shit before orders are even given>click peircing bolts >hover over enemy unit>it disengages and goes into that new AI loose formation for no reason
>>521268703I've complained about it before, but CA's biggest problem is rather than keeping good ideas and carrying them forward, every single game starts from scratch on their shit engine and whatever was done in previous games is completely forgotten.
>>521268496Polishing a turd won't make Queek into a good lord or camping.
>>521268828It's weird because they're not starting from total scratch, ie building a new fucking engine and getting away from Rome 2's travesty. But out of all of 3Ks improvements, the only one that got in was diplomacy numbers (they didn't even fix diplomacy, they just show the numbers now).>>521268814Yeah but there's a good chance it's fucking engine. The micro is noticeably better than Warhammer 2, and these bugs (which is the engine shitting itself) are a Warhammer 3 problem
just won my Boris campaignI wonder what I'll play next, I have no idea
>>521268091???Queek was a named lord option with his own statline and rules, what the fuck are you smoking?Why the FUCK is this general just filled with retards who demand LESS content and LESS polishing? Why are you fucking retarded?
>not playing SFO where queek gets a mechanic to go hunt down every LL in the gamebaka
>>521269347To have sweaty gay sex with them?
>>521269246I mean start from scratch design wise. Like for example>we know what works for lords/generals>generals should have Med 2 traits, and large skill trees, everyone likes both>meanwhile at CA>"HURR HOW TO MAKE GENERAL? UHHH, SHOULD THEY HAVE TRAITS? LET'S MAKE THEM HAVE GENERIC TRAITS SO THEY HAVE NO PERSONALITY, YES THIS GOOD"
>>521268463Pozzed is pozzed anon-kun
>>521269446Pharaoh had traits and skills and people hated that.
>>521269586People hated Pharaoh because it was a shit setting for a Total War game with a tiny map.
>>521269252What's Volound's favorite tww3 faction? What's Mermaid Madison's favorite tww3 faction?

>>521269563Whatever man, I'll just bring out the paradoxes.
>>521269725>tiny map190 faction! So tiny! People are fucking retarded. Map had the same number of provinces as IE.
>>521269993How would you feel if you didnt post on /twg/ today?
>>521270069Who the fuck is Steve Jobs?
>>521269563hmm, I think I'll just autoresolve this one
>>521269725The game map was actually huge even pre-dynasties. But it was shaped weird, the region itself is relatively small compared to other games that cram in entire continents, and people are too retarded to consider the first two factors, so this meme that it was tiny gained way too much traction.
LLs for this feel?
>>521270243>Chris Is AakHYENAS ruined me
>>521270243Changeling
by the donglitz, what happened here
>>521269331For some reason disliking skaven turns people into retards that ignore reality.
>>521270502It's not just skaven, I'm seeing constantly in this general later. People who just get fuckass mad whenever someone wishes for a DLC, or not even DLC just a free update, to complete/flesh out/rework a race. It's insane, why the fuck are retards demanding to get less? Just out of sheer spite for any faction that's not their favorite?
>>521264303Why would a snake have boobs ?Why would a snake wear a mini skirt ?
>>521269331Queek is a warlord with 1 more weapon strenght and a re-roll to-hit item. You can take a generic warlord and make him more unique and cheaper with a items.
>>521270783She wants to feel sexy.
>>521270776>Just out of sheer spite for any faction that's not their favorite?Something like that, or more broadly sheer spite for the game that isn't their favorite.
>>521270783>why would a snake have boobsHas Human DNA, to make them more approachable to Humans and because they are actually venom sacs. >Why would a snake wear a mini skirtBecause its hot.
>>521266378I guess Katarin and Boris were the 2 LL / Faction.
>>521270828You can describe the vast majority of martially inclined LLs in the tabletop the same way. Both in Fantasy and 40k, it was almost always the case thatt the best combat lord you could get was a generic one with the most meta gear, not the named option.
>>521270783Same reason humans do.
>>521269810>What's Volound's favorite tww3 faction?Nippon>What's Mermaid Madison's favorite tww3 faction?Marienburg

New thread>>521272546
>>521264653You mean lean too much away from it. And speaking as one of them I'm not going to mind it so long as it remains moddable.>>521265098Assuming I'm alive for it I look forward to Rome 3.>>521270196As someone actively modding for it (As texturing/model editing is basically free miniature painting and there's an off chance others can enjoy my work once I release it), the two big problems were - relating to the map the arbitrary omission of Greece and Mesopotamia. I have no evidence, just my hunch, but the Greeks are likely the most popular Bronze Age choice so having them gone at first was offputting. Then having Troy before it leads to this goldilocks situation of two separate total wars with no way to join the two. Imagine if WH1 and Wh2 existed but there was no confirmation or timeline for Mortal Empires. so if you want helves you gotta do X, if you want empire you gotta do Y. It naturally pissed people off. The other issue is the unit variety. I remain convinced they wanted to do an iron age campaign shift with the original DLC plans given how almost everything East of the Hittites and Egyptians is rooted in much later representations and references. I think it remains distinct from just being a prologue to Rome 2 as it retains much of the bronze age feel, but you get more freedom with a prevalence of cavalry and there are proto-hoplites and Sparta with the Messenian wars to have popular appeal. That and Assyria. I don't expect I'll have the time to mod it in but I liked the thought of homerifying the campaign - basically rendering it to where everyone looked and fought as they did in Homer's 8th century. You're already a little bit of the way there with Assyria and the Cimmerians, some of the Hittite's gear being Neo-Hittite derived.
They've made a lot of QOL changes recently, did they finally add a way to make a new city your capital? I lost all my old world holds so this would be perfect.
>tfw your military ally dies but lives on in a couple T1 units they gave youRIP Skrag you fat shitter.
How is it for dwarves to use a few Ogres in their armies? Like for Cavalry?
>>521278612>Ogre Kingdoms go extinct from Chorf invasion or something>the Ogre race lives on as auxiliaries for the Empire, Kislev and CathayKino
I seriously hope the delfcel deals with this guy because I want nothing to do with this cancerous bullshit
