MACEDONIANS!
Thanquol soon, friends!
Azhag is 'ere!
Thanquol never friends
>>540190221What are Azhag's thoughts on Gobbo Archers?
>>540190329kino
>>540188526What are the elves doing with that Skink?
>>540190221Gork n' Mork coming!
>>540189978
>>540190035>Bretonnia X DruchiiKinda canon according to Malus' books.
>>540191106
When playing as Khazrak, am I not supposed to take Laurelorn forest as my first Herdstone and instead take Middenheim instead? Because I cannot see how I'm supposed win this fight turn one without turning the difficulty down to journalist mode and autoresolving it.
>>540193329legend could win it
>>540192051she's not raping him thougheverbeit
>>540193329Both of the fights are pretty easy honestly, beastmeme units are really good at what they doAbuse the trees, you're better there than *lves as Raa Roo intended. Use your Chariots to decimate archers and even Ungors 1v1 glade guard pretty easilyIf you want an easier Turn 1 spend a turn recruiting after the first battle and take the settlement Turn 2 but it's absolutely not necessary
>>540193329It's not that hard. If I remember right, you start with some minotaurs and maybe some more large units. Those bulldoze over whatever the wood elves bring at turn 1, just make sure to shut down their archers while tying up their spearmen and it's really not as hard as the autoresolve hints.
Honestly, and literally, I would like to take a full unit of wood elf bladesingers and take them to Naggarond so I can rape them every day.
>>540193329>>540193795Beastmeme autoresolve is pretty awful. If the game shows you a Pyrrhic Victory, it's an easy Decisive/Heroic Victory in manual. Even Decisive Defeats are at worst winnable with some casualties aka Close Victories. If it says Crushing Defeat only then should you maybe be worried
>>540194351cause of the shit armor and ranged?
I hate fighting Shades.Do I just need to run them down with cav or what's the counter to them
>>540194594More or less. They're essentially the opposite of Dwarf units in that the stats are great in manual when used appropriately but horribly weighted in AR. Ungor Raiders (the T1 archers) are weak on paper but still very useful even into lategame to support your army especially as Khazrak who gives them poison
>>540194351if anything crushing defeat means that it will be an easy battle, because that means that the game thinks you should win it but you loseI don't even know why crushing defeat and heroic victories are even a thing in auto resolve tbdesu, because they both are supposed to be an unexpected result and it doesn't really make sense as a prediction
>>540194950Someone didn't watch Legend's video today...
>>540195190I didn't...
>>540195020i just get rid of all ranged and go ungabunga on everyone everytime. fuck outriders, btw
>>540195082I mean most of your AR results as Beastmemes will be decisive defeats for the majority of the campaign so I thought I'd give some context. I agree they should be reserved for manual results where you drastically out/underperform the AR results but that's not how it works currently
>>540195246I usually have 3-4 Ungor Raiders in every army to spread out unit cap restrictions and deal with enemy fliers/large SEMs easily but I'm sure what you describe is at the very least just as good
>>540195510flyers are my problem, especially flying shooters and spellcasters. may brayshamans usually have to deal with those fuckers
>>540190165Cute mini-skirt!
>>540195510Do you like unit caps?
imagine...
well that's a first, never seen the ai try to escape an ambush before. the lord immediately ran to escape, wasn't even broken. as soon as he got away, victory.
>play festus, valkia, vilitch, or azazel>12-15 turns in just desperately wish you were either playing an actual chaos god faction or archeon/be'lakor instead of different flavored chaos warriors
>>540194950you can run them down or if you have your own skirmishers you can bait them into shooting some shit spearmanii (preferably one with shields) and then shoot them with your own ranged units while they are reloading.
>>540195510>spread out unit cap restrictionsLol I just gave the best units to my LLs and whatever's left to the rest whenever playing unit cap factions.I remember in wh2 just cannonballing around the the donut with beastmen main army while the other armies trudged through lustria with whatever I could spare.
>>540199172Those e*ves will have a good time at the herdstone.
i want a beastdoe gf
>>540200926Post a pic of them, anon.
What is the point of diplomacy?>military alliancestotal trap. They WILL drag you into a war, then declare peace the next turn, leaving you still at war. >peace dealTRAP! they will wait for your troops to move away and then attack you again>being at war increases the chance of other players declaring war on youThis is always frustrating. Oh, i'm in a war, so the non aggression pact and trade deal is canceled and you declare war on me out of nowhere?The only solution is to go full Jewish. Totally wipe out any enemies. Total genocide. Kill their children. Total ethnic cleansing. The only trade deals should be in service of a confederation or with a nation so far away they will never be in conflict with youAlso, fuck hero units holy shit who's idea was it to have super units?
>>540201024
>>540199172
>>540201024i like the pics of that weirdo making 40k beastmen suffering porn. you know which ones i mean, but i got no idea how they look oficially
>>540198692I find it an interesting restriction especially for Beastmemes who don't have upkeep to deal with. Makes you think about where to put your good units. It's a little sidelined by how strong rushing confederations is on Beastmemes because with how retarded the beastmeme AI is currently they usually have their starting army intact so you get those units and pad it out with whatever.>>540200032You'll probably have like 1 non-LL army on beastmemes by long campaign victory so it doesn't come up much unless you go really really late
>>540200926
>>540201459>40k beastmen suffering pornActually don't know. Aren't beastmen in 40k basically an anomaly? Surprised there's any fan art of them in a 40k setting other than some dumbass putting one in power armour.
>>540201621i would post some, but i never remember to save the pics. he's a total degenerate, but the beastgirls are really cutely drawn
moments before disasterdamn i wish i had a better pc
>>540201621i think he means mossa
>>540201810I'm a little morbidly curious now. Happen to know a specific enough tag or the artist name? I'll try a little later otherwise. And I'm not interested in beastmen coomshit other than curiosity's sake.>>540201865Ah, I see now. I don't understand such "people". There's a beastmen pic with a trough of cum and a guardsman adding to it. Bizarre. At least these artists have a purpose, when or if you ever feel fucked up or alike, just remind yourself of such or take a look.>>540202071Kek, yeah that's the pic. Goofball of an artist. It's weird as I like a lot of horrific art by legitimate artists over the centuries, as there's history, culture, and story. But these guys are base. Godspeed beastfriends.
I haven't played in months and I don't really have the will to How do I change that
>>540202403play the game
>>540202403roll a race to play in this thread and achieve short victorty
>ambush stance the first army>use the Big Un spam to rape the rest of the garrisonMaybe Grimgor is more fun, but only if you do this
>>540202403Preorder ToT!
>>540202970loli morathi pics?
>>540202751ok but I'm not playing daniel
>>540201031I pretty much stick to defensive alliance only for unit access
>>540203129Based...
>>540203056>assumes black and white as being manga and manga as by default being loliHoly brainrot.
>>540203398I guess the game doesn't want me to play it
>>540203056when are we getting a loli LL?
>>540203493don't assume what i'm assuming, moron. the ToT is the crying loli guy meme (child belly erotic, or something). it was a joke on that, but i'm not very funny
>>540201031>military allianceallied recruitment, borrowing armies, as well as situations where getting dragged into wars doesn't matter and you want a strong ally>defensive alliancesame as military alliance for the most part>peace dealfree money and/or temporary stalemate, sometimes you just need a few turns to recover or deal with a rebellion or something>trade dealdon't trade with future enemies, easy money and relations boost with potential allies or idots like cathay who trade from across the map and it doesn't matter if they turn on youthe key is deciding who to make friends with, and who to make enemies with, and doing what you can to build relations with your friendssometimes it is easier to just kill everyone though, depends on the campaign
>>540204138>the key is deciding who to make friends withi want to make friends with dwarfs playing as helfs. i just can't decide, if i'm going to betray them or not
>>540204361Ive found it easier to befriend the Helves as Dwarfs than befriending a Dwarf as a Helf which is a damn shame desu
>No I will not confederate with you even though you gifted me thousands of gold, are much stronger than me, made back to back NAP, Miltary Access, and Alliances with me as the enemy just wiped my 2nd province and I only have 1 left with their enemy at my doorstep because you didnt get 200+ diplomacy rating or higherThey have to do something about this Confederation shit, its a bit ridiculous the lengths certain factions have to go to confederate another LL, every faction that can confederate should have some way to confederate dead LLs like how the Dwarfs, Beastmen, Chorfs, TKs and soon to happen for the High Elves besides sending an agent, sometimes from one corner of the map to another, to confederate or try and confederate a faction that may or may not already be dead by the time you get there. >inb4 use the confederate dead LLs modWhy should I use something that should have already been fixed months ago? Its why these dumbfucks at CA have started adding the option to confederate more easily but still fucks over certain factions that are just spread apart like the Skaven, Empire, Liardmen and Dark Elves.
>>540202751reroll I guess
>>540205580I have a feeling they started adding more of those mechanics because they couldn't figure out how to make confederations more reliable
>>540205580why do you need to confederate lls? if you want to play as them just start a new campaign.
weird, why can't i ask for military access and whatnot with wurzag? i don't think he's part of the endgame crisis, it hasn't even started yet
>>540202751What the fuck are these shitty options?
There is something oddly satisfying about telling your unit of waywatchers to attack a thunderbarge and just watching it evaporate, and I usually play Dwarfs
>>540206205Beastmen only get diplomacy with chaos factions no? Been a while since I've played them.
for the corn god
>>540206094Why should I stop my 30+ turn campaign to start another LLs campaign when there should be a chance to confederate the LL and unite them all under one faction?
>Why should I>Why should IWhy don't you stfu for a change, whiny bitch.
How did I capture more dawi than were left alive after this battle
total war 40k isn't happening is it...
>cant provide a counter-argument>"S-shut up!"
>>540193329thats where you learn to play the game
>>540206252i'm a mean cunt. how am i supposed to fit them into a sensible roll format anyway?
the current zeitgeist of this thread
>>540207362When have we ever had "CA good"?
>>540207416>anon wasn't here for the Immortal Empires trailer
>>540190035>Squire (Couronne, original flavor)>Bladesinger (Talsyn?)>Squire's knightly master (Couronne, rank unlclear, I want to say Knight of the Realm)>Squire (Bordeleaux)>Dark elf spellcaster (I don't give enough of fuck about Druchii to identify unit type or faction allegiance)The Squire Cinematic Universe grows...
>>540207519>years ago>and it was for something that was default, a given, and to save us from RoCYep, figures. "CA good" was and always is worthless. Grim, and grave, even.
>>540207519It was a good trailer
so tw40k will be worthless at release rightHow many years do we have to wait before it becomes playable and dare I say it, fun
>reddit cat picturethe absolute state of this server
>>540207954>server'cord that.>>540207924Minimum 1 year. I gave TW3 2 years and that was okay. At least I got to experience some of it before the more retarded DLC too, so the complete powercreep and bloat wasn't in yet at that time.

>>540210252what kind of lizardman is this
I feel like the game feels shittier now that the weird chinese and russian empire and the demons exist, maybe it's just me but I liked the simplicity of WH2
>>540212531Daemonmanii are fine, as they've been a staple in WH for so long. Notrussia and Notchina have fuck-all actual art and lore to them and they're shit and don't belong as CA mostly had to wing (heh) it.
>>540208382BEASTMEN RAPE-ROO!
>>540207416redditors were begging for CA to forget their criticizing transgressions when Thrones of Decay came outit was one of the most pathetic things I've seen a community do
>>540212680I think I would've preferred if daemons were subfactions you can access by using the Chaos factions, making them full blown factions feels like they jumped the shark but at the same time they feel unfinished as fuck
>>540212685beastmen don't rape
>>540207589It's a SUPREME sorceress from the Queen and the Crone DLC
>>540212680the demons just standing around is retarded
What is the difference between looting a settlement and sacking a settlement in the green skin blue line?
>>540213984Looting is the loot and occupy option, sacking is sacking
>>540213339
GORK'S FOOT FOR DEM
>>540207924You got it wrong. It will start out playable then become increasingly flanderized and arcadelike. Eventually, after 10 years it will be repackaged and streamlined further for a mobile release like Empire Total War.
>>540214142That is incredibly obvious and I feel retarded for not knowing that. Although in my defense I can't recall the last time I ever loot and occupied.
>>540215732"Looting and occupying" is the secret method of getting a settlement without reducing its level. Works against Dwarfs and Empire settlements.
>>540214419Would Gork's Foot do more or less damage to a Slaaneshi footfag?
>>540207706>wh3 announcement ca good>wh3 actual launch ca bad>immortal empires announcement ca good>thrones of delay ca bad
>>540215428I don't get why it looks better in Wh1.

>>540213850I assume she got her paws on him through allied recruitment, then.
>>540218502why would there be one?
How come horse charges look like they don't work but sometimes they do? Playing WH2 btw
>>540219327you didn't pray to the lady enough
>>540219327Because it took them until 3 to unfuck Cavalry.
>>540215428wow they totally ripped off ironforge from wow
>>540221340worse, ripped off the idea of dwarves!
>>540219327You are playing WH2 (an inferior game).
whats longma
You guys ever think about how Sigmar is literally just Mashiach ben David?
>>540223562Until they fix Lizard AI WH2 Lustria is unironically superior
>>540224342>ligger kvetchingdidn't ask
>>540224483sorry you were wrong ratfag
>liggers are absolutely useless and do nothing on their ownLore accurate. According to the great plan.
Is the AI also borked in the RoC campaign?
>>540224718kek
>>540223562I only bought warhammer 2 for the elf races. I care about nothing else. And I also think that vortex campaign > mortal empires
>>540224751IIRC there aren't liggers in RoC. Unless you mean something else then you'd need to be more specific.
>>540224624not a ratfag
>n-not a ratfag!kek
>>540224073>not Judas Maccabeus
>>540225006>you're a ratfag because I said you areso says the liggerall you furfags are the same

>>540225689>you're a ratfag because I said you areYes.
>>540224852Well apparently other factions apart from the Lizardmen are tardblobbing on their settlements and doing nothing else
Is the total war rome remaster good? Do the units still move into a formation to let other units pass through them?
>>540226764It seems to have been received quite well. Graphically, there's no contest, tho the old graphics will always have a certain charm. They also added steam workshop integration, so installing mods is a bit easier. Dunno about the formations though.If you do buy it, do it through a keysite, save you a few bucks.https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-total-war-rome-remastered-cd-key-compare-prices/

>>540227032thanks anon
Total War Nikke
Total War: Drazh Kazad
>>540205580AI overvalues armies over everything. If they have a single army remaining, confed chance gets floored. You could always try the good ol' settlement cheese:1. Declare war on your ally and beat his armies2. Take largest settlement you can from your ally3. Sell it back to ally for peace the next turn (and all alliances + like 30k gold lmao)4. AI is now without armies or gold. Confed chance +300.
>>540228630What sort of skulls do they have woven into their beards? The skulls are so tiny, they have to be baby skulls or monkey skulls or something

Does 40k have fat men on mobility scooters or is it just a fantasy thing?
>>540216121Less damage, but it adds a component of vigor damage that brings them down to exhausted.
>>540235443many of the more well off loyalist space marine chapters are increasingly featuring them
>>540237746Nice image but that is unironically how warhammer is gonna look like in 2035.
>get to play best campaign with best LL
>>540207589What is the Asur couple gonna look like
What historical title are they announcing after they go through all the games for their 25th anniversary? Will this place have a meltdown if they announce Medieval 3 or Shogun 3?
>>540239756Nothing. Historical TW is dead.
Holy shit Katarin's campaign is brutal
Here we go, another one.
>>540239756Medieval 3 would be greeted with mild hope, altough in the current climate everyone is nervous there's be some woke shit. They already added female generals among barbarians to Rome 2. Sure, it will be modded out day 1, but that doesnt stop CA wasting resources on say Matilda of Canossa or some shit.The far bigger meltie will be among 40k deniers and (mostly on leddit) die-hard fantasytrannies who refuse to accept that CA is moving on.
>>540239963Idc about prog shit since it will be modded out, my main concern is gameplay being good. 3K/Troy/Pharaoh had mostly nu-TW WH feel combat. I want it to be more like Med 2
>>540240084There is some people huffing the hopium that there's a new engine coming but I doubt it, at very best they might switch to Unreal.I can't speak for Troy or Pharaoh but I thought 3K was alright combat wise. Lot of formations, fire mechanics, siege escalation. What didn't you like about it?
>longer polearm cheatIt's actually time. Now if only there was a cheat that would make the Empire troop idle animation quiet. They're too rowdy and animated, constantly bouncing around and yelling. And yes I've looked, doesn't seem to exist and people ask for the same thing on similar cheats.
>>540240363>Unreal>Total War India
>>540216886I have a rule where I don't fight Ungrim manually unless I have an army tailor-built for killing characters, but given the slayer spam that's usually not even worth it.I had fought an hour-long battle where his army had died after 10 minutes, and the rest was kiting him with an arachnarok until it ran out of ammo, then cycle charging goblins (waiting for sneaky stabbin every time) until he died.cancer

>>540241642truth be told im just bored at work kek
>>540239963They've since, excluding Cathay for some fucking reason, gone less woke from the insanity of the R2 period. Still I do think it's likely you'll get female generals given Joan of Arc, Eleanor of Aquitaine, ect. >>540240084Dude at that point just stop having any hope whatsoever. It's not going to be like medieval 3. That's 20 years old, different engine. This is like someone wanting the next call of duty to be like COD1. It's just sad. I'm not saying the nuTW is good, I'm just being realistic here.
>>540241663Based. They still bounce about and shout, but nowhere near as bad.The gun is just aesthetic and doesn't ever shoot. Some sort of unit-leader for flavour.Now it's waiting time for ToT and for Litharion to release a banner mod for Empire.
