Thanquol soon, friends!
>*clicks on you*
the absolute state of this general
many such cases
>>539263696literally me
>>539263696The state is alarmingly grim.
>>539265142grave even
>>539263535TIKTAQ'TO SIEG HEIL
the province of this admiral
>buy Three Kindgoms>start campaign>do the obligatory railroaded first battle>start marching my army towards the enemy on fast forward>get a notification that the enemy general wants to duel mine>duel starts before I even finish reading what it says>the generals fight in a 60 second cutscene while both armies just watchmine wins>"oh okay, so now I fight the rest of their army but they have a morale penalty">no, the enemies already started routing the instant their general died>battle overwhat the fuck even is this game?
>>539262938this looks interesting enough for me to reinstall anyone played with this cheat?https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3558429161
>>539265821so it just handicaps you and the ai can't do it? medieval 2 is long gone and its not coming back
>>539265589You selected Romance mode without even reading what it does
I want to do a Ligger campaign but I haven't touched them since TWW2. Should I just do a bog-standard Mazdumundi campaign first or someone else
>>539266306>selectedit's the default
>>539266329Play Tiktaq'to it's more fun microing terradons than just staring at saurusmanii slowly walking forward.
>>539266329Naggaroth and Lustria are boring slogs and Mazdamundi starts right in the middle of it. Half of his enemies are in uninhabitable climate anyways.Pick one of the Southlands liggers.
>>539265589play in records mode the romance mode is basically some dynasty warriors garbage where only heroes and siege weapons matter
>>539263535GOBBOS RULE
Speaking of Liggers, people often say "bok bok" when they talk about Liggers. Which Ligger actually says this? Keeping in mind I mostly play Nakai who says something similar, but different, like "lork, lork" or some shit. I'm guessing some skink says "bok bok".
>>539263535Le wegh.
>get ambush attacked by skaven>just walk away>take no damagewat
>that one ambush map where your units spawn right next to the extraction area
>>539263535
>>539266329Play Oxyotl and you can relocate anywhere in the world with no climate penalty.
>addicted to playing dwarfs for ages>decide to play someone else >start up grimgor>get destroyed by ogres in first coulple turns>ok maybe I'll go an easy mode lord>start up tyrion>get destroyed by the fucking beginner druchii>so used to playing turtle dawi I forgot how to play other factions and playstyles
>>539270241Just play a khorne faction and be a based retard
>>539270475Too difficult for Dawi brain.
>>539270518Impossible. Khorne is the w+m1 of factions
>>539270241Play rats
>>539263535KHAZUK
>>539263535SNOW IS NO IMPEDIMENT TO WAR
>>539267472i think it's saurus warriors but idk
>play Anith Anar>Shadow King>starts with a Shadow Mage>works better with a Light Wizardheh.
Anon with the Ogre problems dealing with Empire/Kislev - stack crushers, stonehorns, stalking hunters on stonehorns, and sabretuskmanii. The enemy can't shoot you when they're horizontal or getting their ass eaten. Trying to outshoot the artillery faction or the "we'll continue shooting for 30 seconds after we've lost" is a fool's errand.
I'm shitting my guts out and it feels grim. I need an ll for this grave feeling.
>>539278661alarielle
>>539274552Imagine the shadow king starting with a shadow mage whose entire thing is misdirection and obscurement when he could've started with a lore of net of amyntok mage.
>>539263535triari eye
>>539278661Festus, natch
Need helpWhat's the strategy for warriors of chaos? So far what I've learned is run slow towards cavalry canons and die
>>539283246Beyond your comprehension.Post your main/LL army, and what you're struggling with (guessing Dawi).
I just lost a peasant archer to ikit claw nukeits fucking over im restarting
>>539284642I know this is sarcastic but I hate those nukes and whoever designed that shit deserves a fucking bullet in the goddamn dick.
>>539283869I'm playing as Kholek and most of my units are are chaos warriors and chosen. I have some warhounds too but they die too quickly. Everything is slow even the starter dragon ogres.
>>539285316Fliers (this includes lords and heroes too; plus they can do spells), artillery of your own (I like to have a hellcannon in each WoC army and just use it for counter-battery).
>>539283246As anon just said >>539285508 speedrunning a good nuke mage (Vid related) to a mount is critical. You can juke him to nuke the enemy artillery and then just tank the ranged as appropriate. A hellcannon (or two) is also good for that. Once you neutralize artillery is when you can be more slow and steady. If you can't nuke the artillery then you have to try and use terrain, which is easier said than done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDfqwHck2Qg
>>539287531It's not the artillery that is giving me a hard time, it's the cavalry outriders.
After many fights, Cadavo finally has mini empire in Lustria! A new world, where lots and lots of settlers can come and live :D
>>539287858There's marauders for you in that case but I'm not sure how well they're going to do, that's a real big ticket empire unit. I never dealt with them when I did a chaos campaign so I can't speak with experience. You could maybe use a light flyer (not the dragon, the thing I forget that's heavier than harpies) to tag them and tie them up then send someone to kill them. Like a manticore(?) dragon duo. Or harpies-dragon duo.
>>539287963But uncle Mazda has not been very friendly lately :/
>>539288046It's a stack of 19 units of cavalry outriders plus the lord. I think I'll need more than 2 manticores
>>539288097>Hex-xlCheated the game too much it broke such a simple name.
>>539288913kek
what are your favorite cheats?
>>539263535*farts*
rtw anon here, i'm still battling for control against the egyptians, most of the egyptian coast is mine and western anatolia, the armenians finally declared war on egypt and have been taking some of their cities to the north, they suffered a rebellion in the east and made peace with parthiapic related the battle that decided the fate of anatolia
>>539290716How'd they job so hard?
Forgot how good his quest battle is. Constant reinforcements, constant slaughter.>>539285316Have been considering replaying him. Seeing somebody else play him made me pull the trigger.
>>539290826despite ovewealming victory it was actually a little tough, the 1st 3000 egyptians were straight forward, but as i had a lack of heavy cav i had to basically corner campas the 1st army fled and the 2nd group of 3000 came in i was actually in trouble because my men were depleted and tired and the egyptians had 2 units of artillerymy heavy cav had been destroyed in the 1st fight so i had to send out my general around the egyptian infantry into the artillery, but this was difficult as he had a full unit of heavy cav and light inf guarding the artillerythe egyptians fled once my reinforcements showed up
Romance mode is better than Records mode in 3K
>>539292395Sounds like a badass battle desu
>>539292849heres what the campaign looked like a couple months ago, it was pretty crazy fight in the balkans
>>539291579He's so big
>>539289563The one that turbs mixed Cathay units to be male only. I hate the incredibly and continuously loud screeching of their women so much. It has to be a bug.
>>539295549>Deathclaw constantly screeches>Nakai constantly roarsIts a feature m8
>>539263535gremlins
>>539290716What mod?
Why is it that the only three factions which get actually good mechanics from mods are lizardmen, dwarfs, and empire?
Real total war I want is one that uses historical aesthetics of Rome 2, but is also fantasy, with magic and monster units. OC setting.I know it will never happen, but it would be the best of both worlds.So I could have historically accurate spearmanii battle dragons and trolls.
>>539298073So... Troy Mythos
>>539267472>Speaking of Liggers, people often say "bok bok" when they talk about Liggers. Which Ligger actually says this?ALL of them! It's a common line cause it's their attack order. Tiktaq'to always says this is you put him forced march and Nakai has it as one of his campaign select lines
Any possibility of news this week or are we still waiting for a hotfix for a minor patch
>>539298236Troy is just mythology, with meme aesthetics too. I said what I want - I want Rome 2, actual historical aesthetics, but in a fantasy setting.
>>539298584...so total war warhammer
If Historical wins there will be an appalling terror and the complete destruction of both secondaries and 40keks.If Fantasy wins the ratfags and secondaries will remain in power.If 40k wins then the devil will have authority over both the whole of /twg/ and hell.
>>539298342Why are all the lizards so obsessed with the Bank of Korea?
>>539298862Warhammer has meme kitchen sink aesthetics and different period, not anitquity/ancient.
>>539299052It's like 90% 16th century among human factions
>>539299185That was one of my points...
>>539297286its just rtr 1.5

anyone has that kislev happy birthday doodle? my friend who started playing wh3 recently is having birthday today
Well, this was fun!Onwards to TWW2.Which faction should I play as in the Vortex campaign?
>anyone has
Dealing with Khorne as Markus early game has to be the most miserable experience in this entire franchise.
>>539265589Two reasons:- Romance mode has large leadership penalties when lord dies- Unlike WH where pretty much every non-slave unit fights to the death, in 3K morale matters a lot more. Untrained rabble WILL rout easily, at worst breaking on enemy charge. Only trained elites can be expected to hold like WH units. Militia units + morale shock from losing lord on Romance = mass rout Purple generals are broken as duellists btw. They get a skill that increases damage the longer they duel up to +200%. This means you can have purple lord with low-ish stats so everyone accept duels, but gets demolished if you can hold out half a minute for the buff to kick in. Whereas monster melee units like Lu Bu (red) struggle to get duels because enemies dont dare to duel him. Also, watch out when dueling purple lords for the same reason
>>539267472Sauruses tend to say it since they are geomentically allied with Bristol Orienteering Klub.
>>539298342But Nakai sounds like "lork lork". Some Skinks say something like "bok chok".
>>539302603SOVL map
>>539302603Teclis is pretty fun, Lustria is crawling with different factionsSettra is great if you have the dlc
>>539265589>be you>literally a 12 years old child that can't read and can't differentiate between romance and record mode
>>539298342>>539303874>Boq - (Bock) Weapon/Hurt/Hitthis is the saurian word the ligs say, people usually write it as bok when shitposting
Lustria in IE is unironically the best designed region in the entire game, with many settlements acting as roadblocks and genuine strategic positions.
>>539302603Greatest ally...
>>539304762I just find it ironic that every time I visit Lustria there's not a single lizard alive, the region gets megaraped by Skulltaker, Rakarth and Skaven.
>>539302603...what happened to norsca, anon
>>539302603W-where's Bretonnia?
Do you think Bretonnia will get an errantry war mechanic in their rework?How do you think it will work?
>>539308474it fills every battle with randomly spawning uncontrollable allied peasant mobs that frequently crash the game
There WONT be a patch in 35 mins.

sigmas blessings
let me consider it...
>>539289563Why use cheat engine instead of just using the modsthere's even a console command mod
>>539290716THIS IS A HEROIC VICTORY, WORTHY OR ROMAN ARMS
>>539305107This is the main reasons why I always avoid Lustria, it just feels lame to play in with warmbloods everywhere. The ai lizards ahould dominante at least 2/3 campaigns, and even if they are not in control they should at least have a few good provinces. Lustria is simply too small for the amount of opposing factions which spawn there, turning everything into a race for dominance. And of course the lizards are going to lose every time.
>>539298882>Historical winsIt won't because Histfags are it's biggest enemies.

>>539329674>Light skin BretonniansThat's not a thingOnly black people can be "light skin", the point of the expression is to differentiate them from the really dark ones"Light skin" white people is redundant and silly

>>539334720Only it is for Slaanesh (according to the video released 6 montsh ago).
>>539336057>Age of Sigmardelusional
>>539336278LEGEND IS A FAGGOT PAST HIS PRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
>but legend said
>>539262938Is SFO a ‘blanket improvement’, or does it just completely rework the game so that it’s not the same game?Is it good or bad?
>>539338179Latter to both.
>>539338179Yes to both
>>539322419>By "Errantry War mechanic" you mean re using WAAAAGGH armies mechanicsI wouldn't mind something like that tbhwy.
>>539329931>implying they aren't the whitest of all Warhammer races
>>539334236That army ability that increase winds and some extra winds I think, but nothing spectacular. Also, that thing looks awful, why would I want to be at war with 10 factions? that's just asking for trouble.
>>539339065because they're inbreed retards controlled by another race through lies and deception?
>>539339397No, because they are noble, chivalrous, generous, loyal, brave, and all-round good eggs.

>>539340091Repanse is not gonna let you tap that, Henri. How the fuark do you get Wi-Fi in Al Hakik anyways

How do i Imrik

Speaking of Helves, is Eltharion the only Elves vs Orcs campaign?
>>539341645You can do it with Imrik or Teclis as well, they're not far from greenskins.
>>539340210Beastmen
Wallahi i am finished
>>539341814>You can do it with ImrikYes.I recently had a fun Knights of Caledor campaign in Mortal Empires. I was determined not to let Grimgor's 'Ardboyz snowball and dominate the map like they normally do in the Old World. I left Imrik's starting province and headed NW to Black Crag where Grimgor starts and took it from him. I was there by around turn 10, and wiped out Grimgor's faction by at least turn 20, might even have been closer to turn 15.Destroying them really allowed the Dwarfs to expand, too.
Wish we had 40k already.
>Mortal Empiresstopped reading there. Get with the times, old man
I wish skirmish mode on pistolliers/ellyrian archers didn't suck so much. I didn't sign up to play Starcraft bro
>>539339245brokeep reading
>Mortal EmpiresContinued reading on from there. Stay true to your course, king.
I give up. The enemy just rushes my ranged with flying units and occupies my front line with their superior melee. How do I beat this?
>greentextstopped reading there
>Stopped
>>539343898ME Imrik is more fun then IE Imrik thoughbeit.
I started
I don't even read posts.
>>539344128You meant for >>539343706 ESL god.>>539343937>cheat>lose
>>539343937>Cheatsidk hth
>>539344303Ah yes, you're right.
Crane gooners or jade xbows?Which is better?
>>539344517A different faction.Honestly both have a very different purpose, so if in doubt, try both.
>>539343937You're winning, albeit?Also Chaos AI is always gonna splurge on flyers and doggos, bringing too many ranged only units is stupid. Just make endless pistol and shield dudes if you want to win at all costs.
Poor little Norscan
>>539344517Bring both, all you need is 2 for sniping generals/heroes/SEM
give me ONE (1) good reason as to why i should use xbows when gunpowder units go boom boom
For the anon who asked if I could do Bretonian x Dork Elf in the previous thread, messed up the casting hand perspective and fuzzy on some details, but here it is.Lore: When Skaven tide starts stomping Lustria so Bordeaux expedition needs to befriend Rakarth Backlog: Miao with the actual schematics from Nan-Gau, Nurgle Sorcerer holding a bunch of nurglings, Baldwin IV with Gelt and an TES Ordinator showing off mask drip
>>539344923You know who else goes boom-boom? Nurgle followers. A lot of boom-boom.
>>539344771Yeah that's the annoying part, I want to win manually but I cant, but because AR just assumes archers get to shoot all their ammo I win
>>539344729>>539344892I'm using only crane gunners but I feel like they are not as good as empire and dorf gunner infantry. Maybe I should dismiss a couple and bring back xbowmen.That said the crane gunners are superior to Iron hail gunners right?
>>539344853
>>539344984Yeah, your army composition is just gonna get fucked against the average chaos late game army. Just expect around 50% of every chaos army (not garrisson) to be dogs and birbs.
>>539344971>Baldwin IV with Gelt and an TES Ordinator showing off mask dripBased autist
>>539345003>I feel like they are not as good as empire and dorf gunner infantrytheyre more like weaker Jezzails, theyre meant to snipe bigger units not take out infantry, thats what the crossbows are for>crane gunners are superior to Iron hail gunners right?entirely different roles, hail gunners are meant to flank and end infantry that way, theyre ok, not the best to use, the naders are better imo
>>539343898>Continued reading on from there. Stay true to your course, king.Thanks, I will.
Funny how the entire Helf roster sucks except for Spearmen and Archers
Funny how the entire Empire roster sucks except for Spearmen and Archers
>>539345676ok, so I've been using every gunpowder unit in cathay roster wrong lol
>>539346251>>539346436funny how /twg/ sucks.
Funny how the entire Kislev roster sucks except for-wait a minute......
>>539340091>noble>generousThey're a bunch of narcissistic psychopaths who keep a bunch of poor fucks as their slaves. They're above dark elves in regards to morals, but not by much.
>>539344971Cute sorcfu
>>539346457NTA but crane gunners can work against infantry because their pierce models, but you have to be sure they've got a good firing line straight into the enemy. If they're shooting at an angle their shots will pierce the first target then go into the ground
>>539344971>as tall as herHe is a big guy.
>>539347006For you.
>>539346665It's a bit more complex than thatIn lore, Bretonnian peasants are super insular. Most of their day-to-day problems they handle themselves rather than going to their liege lordsThis makes most nobles think the peasants are genuinely content and happy, because the nobility only usually ever hears about problems when it's something too big for the peasants to solve themselves, like an invasion or somethingIt should also be pointed out that most of the Bretonnian dukes are Grail Knights which means they literally do have divine right to rule directly handed to them by Lileath, and because Lileath is a knightaboo this means that the people in the highest positions of power in Bretonnia are genuinely honourable and chivalrous. Your average Bretonnian Duke is a better person than your average Elector CountYou do get some actually abusive nobility, but those types will never become Grail Knights, and if they're bad enough they get black-bagged by Herrimaults or just outright executed by their superiors
>>539347152
if you think about it the only lower class in all of warhammer fantasy who NEVER gets mistreated by their superiors is the skinkseven that one skink whose destiny it was to be eaten by norscan invaders and give them all a pox was super happy when his slann told him he was going to go solo a norscan invasion
Play Vampires.
>>539348324Skinks get killed by Temple Guard often enough for it to be mentioned in the fluff.
>>539348757proofs?
>>539344971>nose ring>tattoos>multicolour hairThat squire is cooked as the zoomers say
>>539348912>Even Skink Priests and other attendants to the Slann approach with skittish caution, least they by some unintended move invite the Temple Guards’ heavy-handed response.8th edition lizardmen army book.Temple Guard are even more autistic than regular saurus.
>>539346665You sound like a churl ngl.
I still haven't been able to play a campaign as Charlie in his dlci stabalize aquitaine and brittany but the saxons have, like, 3 armies that sack my random starting villages and so that gives war devestation in every province at -30 opinion a turn
>>539347006As far as I know the elves in fantasy are only a bit taller, not drastic like space elves in 40K
>>539343937If you know the furies are going to dive your archers you can just set your bears, sled and single entities to attack them while they're engaged. That's what i often do against flyers and menace belows, you know which units they're going to attack so you can just have stuff ready to gangbang them as soon as they land.

>>539350707Play AS Alarielle and confederate every other High Elf faction other than him, then ally Malekith and destroy Lothren
>>539350707Only HE campaign I play is Alith Anars, is Alarielle consistently the easiest to confederate? I feel like every campaign I play as her I have the easiest time confederating her over confederating any of the others on the donut
>>539350707The writers already cucked him during Endtimes and the buildup to AoS.You could seduce Alarielle as N'kari.
seriously though it's amazing how far your average tw player gets while knowing so little about basic mechanics.>not knowing what jizzail type units are for>not knowing how to use cavalry>blindly making army comps that are hard countered by what you know the enemy is going to be bringingdo people just not care enough to learn?

>>539357220WH1 was something fresh and new, both in setting and game design. WH3 is the third release of the same game and RoC had low replayability.
>>539359821We have that. Half the thread is that.
>>539360269>only halfwe need to pump those numbers up
>>539359853>WH3 is the third release of the same gameIt would have been fine if the game was actually good on launch. You already mentioned RoC, but shitty incomplete rosters and being a broken mess were also big ones. Warhammer 3 had a shit launch and it's had shit support so it's still shit, the only reason why people play it is because it's the most "complete: out of the warhammer games. If things were reversed and wh3 launched first in the state it launched in, we never would have gotten past the first game.

>>539365113What's scary about playing as the main character?
>>539365113It's hard, but it's not THAT hard that you should be scared of it. Worse case scenario, you just lose a campaign.Also Karl is genuinely really fun to play.
>>539344971>meme on the right
>>539365734Eh, after tod rework I wouldn't even call it hard. You even get a button to confederate any empire faction you want with short cooldown.
>>539263535BRING ME NEFERATA'S HEAD!
>Khalida starts off with a bone giant nowhmmm...
You guys didn't tell me Warriors of Chaos got their old music back, I can finally play chaos factions and not listen to same music so many times in a row
>>539365282I'm gonna tank this shit
>>539367547Did they? The music in this game is so generic that I can only identify Kislev, Vampire Counts, and Ogre Kingdoms.
>Bone Giant has +200 vs large on it's ranged attackis this new? wtf?
>>539368024maybe when they buffed the Dwarf bolt thrower or added the hobgob bolt thrower they did an overhaul for all bolt throwers
>>539366015>completely ignores what makes that campaign hardConfederating or uniting The Empire was never hard its about how many potential enemies you have to deal with at the same time because even with minor faction potential a lot of them dont survive long>North>Khazrak will take the settlement directly North of Altdorf and put a herdstone down, Festus will usually take the capital with 0 issue and then pick off Talabecland one by one.>Black Pit Tribe will either pick off whats left of Carrosburg then attack you or even worse, Skaeling will land and take both their settlements for themselves then declare war on you>East>Marienberg starts off with negative relationship and will possibly start a war with you, if not them, Kemmler shows up at your doorstep with multiple stacks>if you decide to take Marienberg then Belakor finds you and will probably declare an early war with you>South>Grom starts grabbing every settlement to your direct South, mid WAAAAAAGH, and declare war if you dont have enough of a strength rating/they arent at war with Enchantress or Leoncoeur>Ikit might have wiped out Carcassone and if they made it to your doorstep instead of Grom expect an even harder nonstop threat to deal with>East>Depending on how the runs gone, Elspeth will do fuck all and turtle up in her settlement while Vlad starts carving a warpath towards you by taking out Stirland and Averland>if Katarin or Kostaltyn die expect to deal with Azazel and Throt's armies as they will almost immediately declare war the moment they see you've reclaimer Hochland and taken Festus' settlement.Its a fun clusterfuck campaign but the new mechanics made it less of a dogpile on you and more of a fair fight, if you confederate Elspeth early it can lead to issues dealing with Vlad and if you confederate Toddy early ans Norsca makes its way through Nordland expect an annoying back and forth. Campaigns best fought by not taking other settlements until most initial threats die
>>539367547I just listen to Bolt Thrower while playing Khorne
>>539368113okay but god damn +200 is the largest bonus vs anything I've ever seen
>>539361445I could have sworn someone had a bonus against enemies that spread corruption but I don't see it anywhere. Maybe it's in a skill tree but I'm too lazy to check.
>>539361445for me it's Kostaltyn

>>539368648It's Ostankya.
>>539369193this guy is right>>539369579you're breaking my immersion by taking advantage of the bonus vs large - stop cheesing the game and learn to roleplay: those rockets belong onto the heads of Bretonnian peasants, Gnoblars and Skavenslaves
>>539367547I've kept music off in TW games. I often play my own that fits it well.

>>539370859Ungrim.

>>539371241>ElspethSo easy mode even the AI always ends up becoming a super power in every game.
>>539371250N'Kari is still suffering.Not sure about Kairos
>>539371404She often is, but also often isn't. When she is, nearly everytime Franz is too. Is he ezmode too? Also for some reason lately she keeps going south instead of going to Vlad.
>>539372283N'kari never was suffering, unless you don't know how to flank which is understandableKairos is easy because if things go badly in your starting area you can just move north whenever you want
We don't use Lightning Strike in this house.
AHEMso how are we feeling about the ligger and KANGZ changes?I've only just started a Khalida campaign and it's feeling nice having a Bone Giant over the greatbow ushabtiI also noticed my skeleton archers have magical ranged attacks, which I don't remember them having before
>>539372573>N'kari never was sufferingno, this statement is unacceptable.You start on an island of Elves.Early game they spam the following units:spears, archers, and archers with spears.N'Kari is weak to arrow fire and is not made to fight masses of infantry.You can't even hide him, so you spend the entire battle in the back and then run into the archers or the back of the spears when the battle is half-over already.And when you use him, you charge him, you use the lash once, and then you bring him to safety.And "to safety" doesn't mean inside a blob of friendly infantry or behind a tree, like you'd do for a Lord on foot."To safety" means running through half the map dodging arrow fire that he attracts like a magnet.His spells also suck.Half your balance of power is in your Lord and you can barely use him.Keepers of Secrets in general are also bugged I swear half the time they don't use their run animation and just walk.Now I think everything changes if you have Champions of Chaos and you can actually make Slaanesh Chaos Warriors.But for me?Spamming naked marauder infantry as THE CORE PART OF THE ARMY?Holy shit that's painful.
>>539373359sounds like a skill issue. hellstriders rape archers and even if nakari takes damage from spears he can heal it all back. don't worry the new dlc is coming and you will be able to crutch on ap archers behind armored infantry like how you play every other army in the game.
>>539373359Didn't read. The LL (and to a lesser extent) the faction isn't for you. Square peg (N'Kari) and round hole (Anon's butt). Dawi are more for your speed, lad. He is only suffering you are not good (which is okay), and you try to do dumb shit like AR spam and/or refuse to adapt such as basic flanking. N'Kari has never, ever, ever been 'bad', not even close. Now I'm not that retard a few posts above saying all Chaos are easy or whatever, because it isn't true, unless every faction/LL is easy. Moot point.I hope Dechala is similar and isn't victim of typical CA bullshit overpowered nonsense they've been doing lately.
I only play monogod factions after reworks desu
>>539372901>21 elite units of nurgle lost>for 10 thousand shitty zombies and skelliespyrrhic victory
>"N'Kari isnt heccin hard! Just use this specific army comp and nothing else! Hellstrider cheatstacks will be able to win! Im also not gonna discuss other tactics because there is no alternatives!"
>>539373359It sounds like you're just playing it wrong. I will admit it is much easier with CoC but still very easy without. You don't really even need a front line as Slaanesh, just kite them and flank them. There is so many ways to shut down archers as Slaanesh, they are quite literally the least threatening part of the high elves to you. You have great mobility options that will delete archers as long as you don't do something stupid like charge them into a protected flank, and N'kari himself is fast and large enough that he really can just run past infantry to attack them if he needs to. You should never be keeping Nkari safe unless you're baiting out the archers, he is best when running around all over the place. Even if you don't want to kill the archers for some reason, there is so many trees on Ulthuan that they still aren't a big deal.And the lore of slaanesh is good at what it does, which is setting up and maximizing your charges. You can delete any character in the game with your characters if you stack buffs and debuffs, and it's great for the rest of your army too. If you want damage spells just recruit a shadow wizard.
>>539373923This except Beastmemes (The Undivided Monogod faction)
>marauadermanii + horse>cheatstackHoly shitter delusion.
>comparing hellstriders to basic marauder horsemen>when Hellstriders have BvL that lets them beat higher tiered cavalry in 1v1s and better AP>when they can be easily recruitable off a T1 building>with lower upkeep than Daemonettes>"I-I'm not cheatstacking I swear!"
>>539375556>anon says hellstriders for archers>you go uhhh they're cheating because....bonus vs large!l m a oingkys immediately fucking idiot for real
>>539374505You can't "delete archers" that stand next to a block of spears. And they're always next to a block of spears because they have no other infantry, they are forced to spam spears.And yes archers are a big deal with N'Kari. The AI just instantly and constantly focuses only him with all the archers - as soon as you're in combat for 3 seconds you get a volley to the face.No trees can save you because you're huge.And this idea that you can play Bretonnia with your starting units + N'Kari doesn't fly when all you can build for the first 20 turns is infantry - WEAK infantry too.Don't get me started on sieges.
>starts referencing himself as a different poster>ignores everything else said because it doesnt fit xir's narrative>decides to fall back on "muh archer" cope when he could have said this for marauder horsemen of slaanesh but because theyre not as good as hellstriders, metafag doesn't even mention them
>>539375886>The AI just instantly and constantly focuses only him with all the archersOkay so 1 unit manages to keep x number of archers entirely invalid. So you should vastly outnumber them AND the enemy effectively have zero archers to attack your infantry and cavalry.>>539376023>cries about muh good units = cheat>calls others metafagLegitimately insane.
>>539372901the fuck did your pestigors and that one beast of nurgle do the entire fucking fight?

>>539376114>Okay so 1 unit manages to keep x number of archers entirely invalid. So you should vastly outnumber them AND the enemy effectively have zero archers to attack your infantry and cavalry.Yes, there you go! That's exactly how you play N'Kari, you finally get it!Let me rephrase it so you can feel its horror in full:The key part of your battles, that is fundamental and makes everything work, is maneuvering a huge mass of slow as fuck Marauders of Slaanesh so they engage the enemy first, and THEN you go in with the cavalry and N'Kari.Breathe it in, like a fart: smell the horror, the pain of a N'Kari battle.The odor of a gigantic legion of Marauders of Slaanesh trundling forth to make the battle happen.
>>539377138>finally get itI'm not either of the anons who are struggling with him, anon. Especially as it's a statement, not a question. He isn't difficult. And definitely is not bad.
>>539377316Listen, you can tell me whatever you want - I think I played more N'Kari than all of you put together, and recently, too.You guys probably play on normal or have CoC and you just don't realize the difference it makes - it reads like you people read a wiki article on how Slaanesh works instead of playing for real.The idea that you can cycle charge and micro your way out of every battle like you're Bretonnia is a ChatGPT idea, it's not real - you can read it in all Slaanesh guides and it's just not true, but the only way to know if you put 100 turns in N'Kari
>>539378041Oh, you're schizo'. Carry on, worthless poster.
>>539378041it's real in the only place that matters: multiplayer
The factions with gunpowder units are>empire>dorfs and evil dorfs>cathay>kislev>ogres>vampirates>rats?I'm trying to decide which to pick for my next campaign. I want to focus on guns guns guns
>>539376821har har,yeah, Duelist*
>>539378731Kislev has too few of them.
>>539378731>gunsgunsgunsthat's rats
>>539379256true. It's like 3?>basic infantry with pistols (2 versions)>elite rifleman with axes on their rifles>fat cannonand that's it I think
>>539378282I will.Now let's discuss how you defeat a stack of 20 spearmen with N'Kari.Another common early game challenge.Your cavalry and N'Kari once again sit out of the battlefield until the infantry goes in.After the slow units engage, then you go in with the fast ones and cycle charge - and you have to get out fast because most of your stuff is made of paper.All of the damage you deal is literally slamming glass cannon large units into anti-large blocks of infantry."Is there no other option?"No, pretty much. You get one or two Penumbral Pendulums and those will be the only one or two moments in the entire battle that feel good.Your wonderful Alluresses and Heralds are excellent duelists, ready to kill the enemy general.Unless he's standing inside a melee unit, that is: they don't have the mass to move in and out of it and get ground to a pulp by mass chaff because of their mediocre leadership and their inability to disengage heavier enemies (...so everyone).Another wonderful cherry on top of playing Slaanesh is realizing that in a lone duel the Keeper of Secret loses to a Bloodthirster - your supreme duelist demon can't duel.
>>539379460Rat guns feel too magical.
>Your cavalry and N'Kari once again sit out of the battlefield until the infantry goes instopped reading there
>>539379685>he Keeper of Secret loses to a Bloodthirster>demon of strategy loses in a straight fight to a demon of battleSeems reasonable
>>539376124I forgot about them... Usually I keep some SEMS and great weapon infantry in the back line as an emergency to deal with enemy monsters/monstrous infantry that are pushing through. Nothing got through. The battle was won by the Herald dropping Purple Sun on the enemy blob for 1900 kills.
>>539379708it's a shame nobody came up with lightning cannons in real life yet.
>>539379831yeah charge N'Kari into the Lothern Sea Guard at the start of the battle friend, win the Von Clausewitz award.

>>539385270Long rifles are only for niche uses. Aka sniping characters that would usually be too small of a target for massed fire, preferably from cover so you can actually use their snipe passive against a turtling enemy army. And honestly, how often do you really get these conditions?

>>539392313Yeah, it's tedious. I really don't get why the fuck the lord/LL speaks when you are choosing shit for the heroes under said lord/LL. I like Markus a lot and play him often, but this is the strongest sticking point that stops me from playing him just a little bit more, Don't care about Lustria, or that his mechanic is counter-intuitive and out-dated as shit (I kinda like it though).
>>539392467I prefer confederating him as Franz then sending him, his hunters and a mage with Huntsmen and a few Demigryph Knights to fight Norsca and Chaos because I think hunting Lizardmen isnt lore friendly for him when hes all about hunting in the forests of the Empire and killing Beastmen.
>>539392776Markus being in lustria fucked us over from a kino Markus Wulfheart vs Taurox DLC trailer.
>>539392851Like the Oxyotl vs taurox one was good but Lustria is the only continent without poopoos so it kinda makes 0 sense at the same time.
>>539392776That's true. I've been considering using the swap settlement cheat (or just sea lane) elsewhere. He does have a much better start for this in the old world campaign cheat.
>>539392851Tbf wouldn't be much of a fight, Markus beat Taurox by letting only a single arrow fly and got him right in his weakspot, truly The Empire is only full of chads
>>539388912tiddy sneks 100% believe it
One day there'll be a patch that gives MPigs the middle finger and unfucks the game from all MPig damage, such as giving our boy Markus (and appropriate ranged lords and heroes) proper strength.

for nurgle!*violently shits*
Speaking of quotes, anyone happen to remember the Culist of Nurgle's line that ends with "...my soul sings". Something like "My body rots, but my soul sings". Rather bleak and a good hint at how fucked up Nurgle is.
>>539395131I'm about to make a messy nurgle after reading this
>>539393150beastmen are the jobber faction for chaos, this tells us nothing
>>539395650true, the gods barely give a shit about them because the beastmemes all worship chaos no matter whatit's in their bloodthe gods prefer worshippers who willingly follow, instead of one who do so on instincthell, they're even bigger jobbers than norsca
>>539392954>Lustria is the only continent without poopoosEh. People say this, basing it on I assume that one map in an old beastman codex but Im not sure that was accurate by 8th ed. They are mentioned attacking monuments around Hexoatl in their the ligger armybook.Or rather, GW doesnt think that hard about things like that. "No beastmen in Lustria" is probably not an ironclad rule.
>>539395650Correction, Beastmen are the jobber faction except for Taurox who was the only successful Beastmeme character in-lore and was nearly unstoppable save for a small spot on its neck
>>539395791
>>539395967>Poopoos took a big greasy shit on the lizardsbased raa roos
>>539395967>>539396134WTF I like BeastGODS now?!
I'm trying Epidemius for the first time in the Old World since I've never actually entered the Realms of Chaos on the map and I noticed he starts within Nurgle's Realm.I just found out that every single battle here uses Storms of Magic from RoC which gives both armies unlimited winds and fills up a meter for a mega spell when magic is used.Hypothetically which lore would benefit from this most?
>>539396910Beasts.
>>539396910vampires or nehek, maybe? does it charge based on the WoM used on the spell or just any spell counts as a charge? If so, a 1 WoM heal spell with a sub 30 second cooldown is probably monster. Regardless, if it does just count any spell, any lore with a solid spell with low cooldown would fuck. Though I can't imagine playing TOW long enough to get a faction to the realms that doesn't start extremely close.
>>539397396The meter goes up based on how much WoM is used by either side. So if the enemy casts a spell that costs 7 and I cast one that costs 3 then that adds up to 10 for both of us.Both teams will be getting their mega spell at the same time. You don't actually need a wizard at all as long as your enemy has one.
Imrik is such a happy cuck!
>>539393372imagine the seething if they make 40kek and the powerfantasy dudes get their favourite muhreen nerfed because mpfags say its op
>>539395780At least they have it better than dragon ogres, because they don't have anything to compare it to. But dragon ogres used to be the favorites until the chaos gods moved onto humans. If I'm not mistaken most dragon ogres are old enough to remember the glory days, so it hurts more to them than a beastman who only knows disgrace.
>>539398342I think you're getting it confused with Fimir lore. Dragon Ogres made a desperate pact with chaos when they had no other option, Fimir were the former favorite and still seethe about it.
>>539388912"The mother ...""PHOENIX QUEEN!"
>>539385634The worst part is the jungle maps aren't even good "jungle maps" - they don't convey the homefield advantage that lizardmen and ligger type armies would have (big monsters, tough infantry, and poor range). It's just "big hills and the AI corner camps on the back hill" or "open fucking plains surrounded by jungle with patches of trees". I remember in WH2 getting unlucky invading Athel Loren, retreating, and getting a map that was just 100% trees. I don't think that's the ideal map for lustria but as it is now fucking sucks. I guess either the devs don't care at all or the "development to implementation" pipeline is so extremely fucked they can't playtest in a reasonable timeframe to see that the maps and AI do not work together to make a fun experience.
>>539395967>2521End Time lore go to the bin, yes.

Has Warhammer Total War been enshitified over the years? Why does the first game look the best? Warhammer 3 looks like a mobile game in comparison.
>>539401423Lighting, iirc until a few patches ago every WH1 model had major lighting issues since WH2 ME cucked lighting. And then IE turned the campaign map cartoonish.
>>539401394ok now tell me without activating any abilities how many swings does it take karl to kill a sun dragon?
>>539401145>18 shots (takes 5+ minutes of uninterrupted shooting)
>>539401145How much time does that take? And what is he (and other ranged lords and heroes) like in general, combat-wise? And compare new ranged heroes to old, they easily, easily reach over 1k WS, yet, old ones...poopoo. This could be excused more if they had gargantually more of an affect elsewhere (e.g. army buffs), similar to how spellcasters can get away with being weak in x/y/z reason in combat (e.g. shit health, slow, shit MA/MD etc) due to just being a battery for spells.

So why is Ungrim allowed to be a Slayer (Armored)? Also whats a good thematic army for him, guessing Giant Slayers and Doomseekers?

update: to give an idea of how many men i lost pushing back egypt and invading anatolia mostly through attrition and dozens of battlesof course keep in mind this is not counting cities that are partially garrisoned, mainly just counting full armies or fully garrisoned cities (maximum fighting power)take note the territorial gains of thrace and gaul and bactria has basically annihilated parthia

For people who played troy, did you ever have charioteers dismount?I'm trying to find the table to adjust terrain modifiers because it's dumb that any sand whatsoever causes chariot slowdowns, and I saw this. I know peleset oxen guys can dismount, but I'm intrigued by this auto dismount feature. Actually fuck it, let me test it out.My dumb ass didn't remember to take the right pic but yeah it's land_units_dismountable tables and it has these troy entries with 'auto dismount hp percentage'.On the one hand making it so say the battlefield taxi mycenaean chariots auto dismount at .75 could be fucky if you had them dismount with a piddly volley before they hit the enemy line, but it'd be kinda cool if you could make it so they did dismount after some initial damage. So the AI would throw the chariot into the line, then dismount the tough cookie troopers and you'd get that battlefield taxi energy (justfire and forget rather than mount and dismount) of the iliad.Oh well, lemme test it.

Newbie question, when using a unit with both ranged and melee weapons do I have to manually order them to switch them or something or will they automatically do so depending on the situation? I'm playing the Kislev prologue for the first time right now.

>>539429292define fix
>>539429608Did the fix the shit mid to end game pacing that affects most factions and turns each campaign into a "paint the map" cakewalk? Most campaigns are effectively over for experienced players before you get to Tier 4 and especially 5. Most of the time by that point with all the buffs and research tree your lower tier units are still viable and better value especially for recruitment turn times. Are sieges fixed as promised especially that shit with the gates opening randomly sometimes and retarded path finding? Is the UI improved fixed ? Is realms of Chaos finally worth playing? Is the game better optimised?

R2 was, Attila was, WH1/2/3 was. The question is what kind of an incomplete release.

It won't be as bleak as >>539455242 I suspect, more game 1/2/3. Too many moving pars for me to say how you could cut it up but the main thing I don't want is Game 1 being Western/Central/Northern Europe and that's it. At a minimum have it be the R1 map - Urals down to the start of the Iranian plateau down to Yemen and the Mandingos apparently in that pic. My nightmare scenario would be 100 years war total war.

>>539483854lightning strike, replenishment, upkeep reduction, more movement range, even more movement range at the end, and skills which affect loot and resources gain are good for everybodyand then there's things like devotion for kislev and xp gain for chaos that are more race-specific benefits that people overlook because they play every race the sameadditionally, you simply do not need 90 ma, 90 md, and 900 ws. A few basic combat skills and blue gear is all you need for an endgame lord. Some lords are more pressed for skills than others though (usually legendary lords), these are the only characters which it's not worth it

How do I build and use a Tiktaq'to stack?

>>539487206that pic reminded me of that one time I was waiting with a friend for my sister to leave the desktop, and the moment she left my friend went straight for the chair and gave the sit a hard sniff. Horny ass fuck, caught me so off guard I think I actually laughed. He now works for the government in some public works stuff and makes good money, which he spends in hookers and drugs sadly.
>>539489294i'd beat the shit out of any of my friends for doing that and the fact that you didn't is shameful
Avast yee, fucker.
WHAT DO U MEAN POWERCREEPING ISNT FIXING
I'll be taking THAT.
>>539490595What exotic goods were they hauling?
pig slut
>>539490737Hookers. LIZARD hookers.
Achievable natty? Pay no mind to my reinforcements, I want to nail this army with just Taurox and co. My reinforcements have to take care of two other weenie armies and at least threaten the Settlement.
Treasure islands remain the greatest addition of all time.
>>539491503>actual lot lizards
>>539491839I literally cannot play naval battles without the cheat that adds more races to the island armies
>>539492017I like it as is because it's basically the only chance you'll have to fight coast as a faction 90% of campaigns.

>>539492870thx
How does the Altdorf zoo have a dragon in it and how does that not end in disaster?
RIP in heck, fricker.
>Old world Throgg campaign>nothing but kislevite fucks with pointy sticks and fucking scarbrand with fire damage outta ass around youOh boy! This is miserable!
>>539495034What's so appealing about the Old World anyways?
So these are the herdstones beastmemes keep creaming themselves over
>Force marches onto my lawn>Hovers in the air>Doesn't move>Doesn't cast spells>Routes after five minutesA fascinating play
>>539495216Big map.LLs are generally more spread out except where it makes sense (albion thunderdome aside).A nice mix of rural settlements being more spread out and some cities being basically their own provinces.Places like Karak Eight Peaks, Zharr-naggrund and Hellpit actually feel like an ordeal to completely take instead of just being a single big settlement.Turn times are ass, but you can go classic as well, if you just want to play Karl Franz in a larger Empire or whatever.
>>539495216Its literally my first time trying it out. Once youve played normal IE to death, new map is breath of fresh air.
>>539494038The dragon wanted in, what were the zookeepers gonna do? Say no?
>>539494038Lots of dragon snacks and treats
>>539491503>LIZARD hookers.I don't think that's in the Great Plan.
I see the AI has learned the holy grail of deployment stratagems.
>>539500097usually the calculating blob formations will stop once they see an enemy unit
>>539500616that fight started 3 seconds ago
>>539500727oh I believe the AI is poopbutt im just saying normally when I see that happen they get out of it before the clash occurs
>>539494038>Altdorf zoo dragon: accept to be mounted only by the emperor, cool and aloof
>>539501060I meant "cold" obviously, but "cool" is good too I guess.
>OOOOAAAAAHHHH DADDY'S CUMMIES DADDY'S CUMMIES DADDY'S CUMMIESOh yea, sounds like a quest battle to me.
Are any of the Vampire Count units you can grab as Arkhan worth using at all over just more skellingtons?I never use dogs/bats outside the first twenty turns, Ghouls in meme Ghoul King armies, and everything has magic damage now so I never touch Hexwraiths or Cairn Wraiths.
>>539502059Why bother asking? Looks like you've already answered and decided.
>>539502059What's the point in picking Arkhan and not using vampire units? That's like playing Eltharion without mistwalker units.
>>539474001>SOKyou are like a little babbywatch this>I select Oxyotl
>>539502059They're all good. They have big buffs compared to the regular versions.
This guy seems trustworthy.
>>539489465why lmao, she's not my property and he didn't do anything to her. do you feel like a big guy for thinking like that or something?
>>539504954perhaps its a double negative

Can someone tell Malekith to stop bombing skink boats? They're just fishing there, not smuggling cocaine to the north.
Are you just not supposed to use Bloodletters as Khorne? These things are getting smashed by Savage Orcs, even Skarbrands Bloodreaper got his shit fucked by them
>>539510064They (especially non-exalted) need a buffer. Even shielded maraudermanii mixed in is great help. And Savage Orcs in particular are fucked up, yes, even though there's a magical attacks vs high phys' res' interaction at play.
>>539509957they can do that now?
>>539510064>savage orcslet me guess, you're running them into da Great Green Prophets boys?
>>539510236He might not be. IIRC Skarbrand's first/default enemy is a minor Savage Orc.
>>539510386okaylet me guess thenhe's not sending his chaos warriors in first and letting his bloodletters get beat up
>>539502059Hexwraiths with zero upkeep are insanely good.

new to TW. how do you guys figure out army comps? I'm overwhelmed with unit choices and not sure how to make a competent army. how big should they be and what kind of comp do I aim for?
>>539519574You need to tell us what you're playing and then you can get specific advice with specific reasons which will in turn help answer your question.
>love warhammer but haven't played TW since I was a kid and it feels complicated and haven't upgraded my pc in a while>finally upgrade it and hear the new game comes with a baby mode tutorial that is easy and explains everything>I still get lost and there's a lot I don't know and I finish battles with my units barely surviving I am I not cut out for the the game or is the tutorial a bit murky on some stuff? Am I supposed to charge my cavalry and chariots/wagons into melee or through the enemy units to keep them moving? Do you guys really have the mind to play around with casting spells? Do you take your heroes off their mounts so they don't charge ahead of the main infantry block? Is there a way to order multiple units to spread around the enemy unit instead of just standing there and forcing you to manually walk them around the melee they're supposed to join?
>>539520276Stick with it. You're in the most fun time. My first ~100 hours of struggling and being frustrated I still look back fondly on, and I remember much of it well. Persist, but take it easy, soak it in. It will come with time and try to enjoy the ride.
>>539519785I've only started recently with High Elves, so I don't really have any specific instances or anything specific at all unfortunately. I was just wondering if there's any super high level theory when it comes to putting an army comp together.
Beat hot-fix patch today then ?
>>539520713It can get autistic but that's mostly reserved for multiplayer because the campaign mechanics don't REALLY warrant being that much of a faggot.That said the stats interactions are kinda esoteric but it shouldn't really matter if you're playing on Normal and reading the tooltips/unit descriptions should be enough for you.If you want more genuine advice take a post-battle screenshot and ask something like "why did my spearmen die"
>>539520276Keep at it, have fun, do not look up win at all cost minmaxxy guides. Grugbrains like me or inexperienced people like you get to have the most fun because you don't get locked into 'the meta'. That said I'll offer some thots to your questions:1) Charge units, then after a few seconds (10 seconds? Less? More, get a feel for it) withdraw them. The charge bonus wears off after time. Ideally charge the flank, or the rear. 2) You can get a lore of magic that requires less micro. Fire or a similar nuke one. There's ways to turn the spell around and aim it - this is something a lot of people did not learn for years and I am not kidding. I am not sure what the key is off the top of my head but google says>Breath spells can aimed in a specific direction by holding down the left mouse button and rotating the cursor when targetingThis'll apply for other spells that are linear-y, not just breath>Hero on mountDiff mounts diff roles. Heavy fliers are often great for heroes to either avoid shit or gank squad. Horses can be hit or miss. If you are having them charging ahead just do the light micro of putting them back, giving them a delayed order (IE let your infantry march for 20 seconds, then give the hero an order to move).> Is there a way to order multiple units to spread around the enemy unit instead of just standing there and forcing you to manually walk them around the melee they're supposed to join?I am getting details wrong but if you control+G a unit group, make sure the lock icon is there, then I think it's hold shift and tell them to attack the enemy? They will not all gangbang one unit but instead attack roughly in formation (But break formation as they reach the enemy).
>>539495216not having settlements within 1 turn of eachotherrivers that actually matter and cant be crossed wherever you wantoverall infinitely better map design than whatever CA shat out
>>539520713It's been awhile since I did high elves but don't worry about the high theory, just do what werks unless it's multiplayer in which case urfaget. For singleplayer and usually with any kind of good frontline faction I have at least 8 units being frontline guys. If I were bullshitting off the top of my head a helf army:Spot 1 is generalSpot 2 is some kind of a mageSpot 3 may be another hero, but I dont' do more than 3 (17 spots left)Let's say it's 8 man strong frontline at a minimum = 17-8 = 9 units now. Of those 8 they could be all generic spearelfii, they could be Lothern sea guards which means I can free up archer spots, they could be whatever.Then from the 9 remaining spots I have to have my ranged backline and my cavalry and my artillery and my flyers if any. Depending on that battleline I could juggle shit - less archers because more of the spear line are lothern, or less spearmen because my archers are all lothern and can hold the line themselves. Hell maybe zero backline because my frontline is archers. You could probably drop down to 6 frontline holders and do 'okay' as a tankier faction. In theory you can just send a hero out front and have the AI Mob him but that always feels cheesy.It's also a question of campaign limitations. What I love about campaigns and why I never do custom battles is I don't get some optimum range-queen development of my army. It's based on finance, unit access, unit survival.
>>539519574>>539520276
>>539521304Did CA make this?
>>539519574think about what the enemies you will be fighting might have and then make your army out of things that counter that. if the enemy has armor bring units with ap. if the enemy has phys resist try to bring magic attacks. if they have monsters bring units with anti-large. if they have artillery try to have a way to kill it. you can also build around things that you know your enemy will have a hard time countering. for example you know corn doesn't have ranged units so you can bring skirmish units to abuse that. you usually want to have one wizard per army. don't bring more ranged units than you can defend and ignore the shitters who say cavalry is bad it's actually important. for high elfs your core units are spearmen and archers. your ap options are basically anything with "lion" in the name. elyrian reavers are good light cavalry and silver helms are good enough to do their job. dragons and phoenixes are good. bolt throwers kind of suck but they have a purpose.
>>539522507Yes, its from WH1.Sadly with how event animations are in 3, you kinda miss out on the art desu screen is too small
>>539522098hybrid units aren't meant to be a front line. they are essentially ranged units that are less cost effective to attack into. like if you have regular archers and they get attacked by doggies that's a good trade for the dogs, but if you have sea guard and they get attacked by doggies that's only an even trade or even a bad one. on the other hand sea guard will almost always be trading down against any real front line unit so you are losing value by putting them there.
>>539477726just like white's BBC thirst
