I want to make peace inside Total War
Thanquol soon, friends!
total war is lostare you wavering yet?
Remember that time that CA didnt even budget monster on monster animations in Warhammer 2 and animators had to do it in their free timeAnd we had people, in this general, saying these games are worth 60 bucks eachCrazy
>>540482413TOTAL WAR IS LOST AND THE EASTERN STUDIO HAS FAILED USWHERE THE REPORTS OF LITERALLY ANYTHING BEING ACTUALLY FUCKING PRODUCED BY CA TO WARRANT SUCH A LONGASS COMMUNICATION AND DEVELOPMENT BLACKOUT
>>540482462Alien Isolation 2 KINGS cucking warhammerbabies
You did buy Sega's latest game Sonic Racing Crossworlds did you?Also, which total war character/area do you want as a racer/track?
>>540482629i have never touched a sonic game for the same reason that i have never touched my own shit: a functioning hygiene drive
>>540482629Can't buy it anymore, Nintendo firebombed SEGA's offices and had the game taken down since SEGA violated Ninty's copyright on digital files

I hope they update Wulfhart one day, even slightlyHis campaign nowdays is a fucking challenge run
>>540484354Everyone in Lustria is a challenge run except for Skulltaker specifically because he exists there
>>540484527Yeah but noone else has to deal with Kroxigors with +25% weapon strength
>>540484527There's no Total War Kingdom, thus proving this leak is fake and Warhammer isn't coming
>starting locations I likeDarklands and under the empire but above the tomb kingsThat's iteverything else sucks
>>540486198Settra has a nice location
>>540482425>Someone reposted my OCFOR KARL FRENS>>540484810Not that anon and while you´re correct, Skulltaker's Wrathmonger spam is even worse imo. One unit of them can kill even Skarbrand without breaking a sweat, so they just evaporate your front line if they manage to close in (which they will since they are 1/5th unit size infantry with high hp and armor, so both artillery and AP ranged struggles to hit them)
>>540486504I know, I've had the displeasure of fighting him on Hostility 5 where he raped my whole army and a city garrison

>>540497726t. Lahmian
>>540497726There is a ferret on my lap. She sleeps as well. I love her very much. Ferrets are natural enemies of rodents such as rats which is based as fuck: a ferret can kill off entire undercities (burrows) in a single night. Our city employs ferrets for rodent control in parks for that reason. You cant poison or shoot rats without risking collateral damage to pets/humans and their burrows would just produce more anyways. Every summer I get paid 20€/hr to let her loose and drink beer in a park. I couldnt imagine more awesome pet. She looks like the ferret in this pic
>>540498745Gonna build-construct a doomsphere uner your gross-disgusting city

>>540498745Based ferret owner. I miss my ferrets.
How much influence does it take for an instant t5 settlement as chorfs? And is it worth it to rush one early as turns 20-30?
>>540499348Sure. I only use influence on towers and never or maybe buy 1 seat each campaign as tower maxxing is infinitely better and more enjoyable than the gimmick trap of seat spam.
>>540498908Ubersreik's five (or four, doesnt matter) ferrets have just been deposited into your undercity. Say your prayers, gay seer.
>>540498745I like that guy who rescues minks so he can hire them out as pest control.I have never heard rats sound so terrified.
>>540498745Is 20€/h worth taking the risk of your ferret being bitten by a rat?
>>540498745Long boys don't even make sense they've got no right being so good at killinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xh6COYdHzI
>>540499348Few hundred, can't remember exact number. Not worth it to me, you probably will struggle to get resources to upgrade your buildings anyway at that point. Some tower seats are very useful.
>>540499498aiiiiieeeeee
>>540499229My condolences, I understand your pain. I'm old boomer but I still miss my first ferret every day. They really wriggle right into your heart.>>540499651While rats may be aggressive out of desperation in the open, they are really passive in burrows since they never get followed there. It must be absolute terror for them to have to face a predator designed to hunt them in their home territory. Pic related: See the alien-like skull? Its elongated just to have MASSIVE jaw muscles and increased leverage. If they get a good bite in they can literally decapitate rats in one chomp.
>>540484527>>540484354I think Alberic is the most fucked of the bunch, specially his early game.>Too close to Skulltaker>Wulf will gape him if he takes too long, no diplo tech will save you from his colonist wrath>Lizard armies fuck you hard if they manage to get decent infantry>Rats, rats everywhere, your economy can't handle 4 stacks of Doom WheelsIt's also fucking Bretonnia, so you are playing the faction got shafted since W1
>>540499853I've accepted that there is always a risk, but in my opinion its worth it so she can live a bit more "natural" life where she can do what her instincts tell her. The risk is also a lot smaller than you think. Rats in burrows are very passive since they´re evolved to try to be as still as possible whenever threatened and in burrow: typically predators are aboveground so they freeze up so they arent heard and dug up. They dont fight back. And even if they did, ferrets have faster reflexes, more muscle mass and can move better in the tunnels, so I'm basically letting her autoresolve Carnosaur vs Plague Seer -tier fights. Or at least that's my cope.
>>540486504I miss when lizards had a chance to actually exist on their own continent
>>540500251but /twg/ said bretonnia is strong
>>540500251>Wulf's cav is better than Alberic's because he gets woodsman for the whole armyFunniest shit ever
>>540500579I still dunno why IE shoved many chaos fuckers and skavens there. Isn't Lustria supposed to be homogenic with Lizardmen, with only a few human settlements and old HE colonies sprinkled around? Why tf are Rats and Nurgle fuckers doing there?>>540500590They are, but you need to snowball first. The fact that your lords literally can't use the bulk of your army before you babysit their vows sucks a lot.
>>540500991Likely for gameplay purposes, give lizard players something to fight.
>>540500590They are, but thats the endgame (T5). Grail Guardians are basically Chosen with more damage, AP, speed and charge bonus, same total hp but smaller unit size (making them even better than Chosen for Life Magic shenanigans and focusing your strength to demolish enemy armies piecemeal). Hippogryph Knights are ridiculous AP flying monsters and their Lords are even better. However their early game sucks and their ranged is really bad, being solely carried by their armored knights... Which Skulltaker directly counters with his Wrathbringer spam.
>>540500579>>540500991Vortex campaign was peak Lizards vs Rats Jihad in Lustria. ME is when started to go downhill.daemons are there because they exist there in the lore, but they are supposed to be tucked away in ruined temple cities and dark jungles, not the dominant force
>>540501272Not that anon: I'd accept this argument if Cathay wasnt 90% bugmen fighting against bugmen. Lustria belongs to Lizardmen, not filthy rats, demons and undead.
>>540501485Is there anything that wrathmongers DONT counter?
Nu Tomb Kings print money like crazy with the new canopic jar economy Also you get a settlement action to get 1500 gold for 500 jars... You can craft 5 weapons, 500 gold each and 2500 total, for 500 jars too
>>540501781Well considering they destroy both Skarbrand (ultimate high-damage infantry blender) and Ku'gath (tank supreme) in 1v1 without breaking a sweat, I dont think so. Player is limited by their high upkeep, but that isnt a problem with AI's -50% upkeep cheats.
>>540501519>ME LustriaME Corner Lustria is so shit I've never played as a lizard starting there, I only ever played Kroq in ME
>>540502148Same desu, I never even played anyone else their either except for LuthorIE Lustria despite its small size would have been an improvement over ME Lustria, if it wasn't spammed by invading factions
>>540501957Makes me wonder how A.I Skulltaker keeps jobbing, Khorne factions are so fucking easy to play it's numbing
>>540482629Drivers: Settra the Imperishable as a Speed type. Greasus as a Power type. TikTakto as a Boost type. And of course Karl Franz can be Acceleration. Courses would be Lustria, Khemri, Altdorf, and Cathay
>>540502754I think he's scripted to prefer Daemonmanii, especially early game, and they job in AR pretty hard.
At this point is there any doubt that all the people who claimed CA no longer knows how to code and work with their own engine were anything but absolutely correct? They can't manage more than one DLC a year and even the small changes they make are flat out breaking other parts of the game since they genuinely don't know what they're doing. Anyone hoping for any future games of ANY kind, whether historical or 40K or whatever, is straight up delusional. CA no longer has the technical competency to make games in the engine since all the people who understood and built it are long gone from the company. This is why they were banking so hard on Hyenas, because they knew their time had run out on Total War regardless.
>>540502657IE Lustria was pretty fun on launch as lizards before they went and did some reshuffling and added DLC factions
>>540504068Trvke. No matter what happens next, we lost. It's over. The best we can do is watch it all burn.
>>540504068if we keep firing the old staff and bringing in cheap diversity labour, we'll cut costs and-oh dear, they dont actually know how to code, this will hurt our long-term financeswhatever, it works for short term gains!
>>540505341We lost the franchise but we'll have won our freedom from itI wonder what thread we'll have to merge with or if we just migrate to /vst/ when the thread can no longer sustain itself
>>540504068You are mostly correct, but not entirely;1) Hyenas: They were banking on Hyenas because thats how the capitalistic world works: you are required to bring in increased profits each year. Making stable profit isnt enough. Warhammer´s strategy niche is comparatively small customer base that isnt growing, so despite bringing stable income it isnt growing each year. CEO had to make risky ventures to other areas to increase profits (no matter how stupid) or accept being replaced by someone who will.2) Age: TW:WH1 released almost a decade ago. You simply cannot keep paying for expertise when there are cheap new hires who are just as skilled on paper but are much cheaper (despite knowing jack shit about WH code). They experts had to go.3) The issue isnt as much as them not being able to code, the issue is them not being able to understand the massive spaghetti that is TW:WH. Simply adding a lord that is copypaste of say, Empire General but with one unique skill line is about 8 hours of work. Implementing entirely new effects or mechanics is likely weeks of work IF you are familiar with the system and know what you're doing. Thats why practically all mechanics are "open up a popup window that either adds items or adjusts stats for resource cost". Its a mess that was never intended to go beyond WH1. There is a good reason why Total War games released after WH were able to implement so many "new" mechanics whereas WH2/3 was just WH1 but with different models and stats: Warhammer 1 was a surprise hit that was never intended to go further than that and it was programmed as such. Its simply very work-intensive to develop and would require people who have worked with it from the start, which is a thing that wont happen in "efficient" management of today, since you cannot measure such expertise and will be replaced by indian who is just as competent on paper.
>>540505634I doubt we would be able to merge with anyone, it didn't work out for /gsg/ anyways. There's always /vst/ though.
Sotekbros we're so backhttps://www.twitch.tv/stimpak_vt
>>540508332/gsg/ didnt try merging, they tried a hostile takeover of /civ4xg/ after being assblasted about their general getting banned from /vg/
>>540509017they got banned? that might explain a few things, its an arkhan escape incident
>>540509902Yeah, mods finally got tired of their shit and forced them off the board like they did /kspg/ a decade ago
>>540510161when did this happen?
>>540504068It's possible you're exaggerating the "Ship of Theseus" affect since they could have switched the majority of staff over to their next title and just left a skeley crew on WH3.
>>540508780Oh dear, not another pregnancy.
>>540510253Almost half a year ago, which is coincidentally around the same time that /vst/ unbanned generals./gsg/ was literally just deported to another board
>>540504068AI generated code from Indian remote workers will both save us money and increase productivity. The future is AI
>>540498745Shame ferrets stink, but they are cool slinky boys
>>540507395>thats how the capitalistic world works: you are required to bring in increased profits each yearOnly corporations are subject to this due to being owned by investors through shares; private/partner/llc companies can carve out a niche and just coast when they feel enough is enough
>>540479257>>540480658people will make excuses about how it's for sieges but the reality is that they are a specific kind of shitter who refuses to learn how to play the game beyond the most basic "elite armored infantry in front of ap archers" formation, so they want to be able to dismount their heavy cavalry units to use as chaos warriors in factions that don't have an equivalent. they don't care if it's not cost efficient, they will do anything to avoid having to learn how to play.
>>540515067trvke
Where's my chaos nipon I want to pretend to play shogun 2 again
>>540515067NTA, but for factions like Bretonnia, it sucks ass, since their most powerful infantry can't trade with shielded Clanrats, sieging with them is ass if you don't spam casters/Hippos or bring a full trebutchet stack to grief the base.If we had dismounted grail guardians we wouldn't be having this conversation
Why do I want this?
>>540508780Grom's doing it again...
>>540518437For the funsies
>>540518437to charge it up for future campaigns
>>540518437They were trying to bag your campaignThey work for the deceiver, the big bird
How come Rohan can charge their cavalry really deep into enemy infantry, but in total war, horses can barely push through 1 row of dudes?https://youtu.be/7lwJOxN_gXc?si=bWfSEMl0CORy_gWw&t=267
>>540518205>their most powerful infantry can't trade with shielded Clanratsthis is just factually untrue
>>540520246hollywood movie magic
>>540520343It is. Without buffs, Squires job hard, the fact that they are are not "armored" also sucks
>>540504068>>540507395To further hammer home the point of Hyenas, I'd just like to remind everyone:245 layoffs. Minimum, as per CAs own financial statements. Possibly more, if the 2025 one mentioned here became reality. That shit will affect development, even if not all "core workers" ie coders, designers and so on.Legend put it pretty well: Total War is going to pay for Hyenas. That failure does not exist in a vacum.
>>540521857youre never using t4 squires before you just build a lord hero deathball for sieges anyways
>>540520246they buffed their mass with the speech
Do you think CA will make thanquol a female greyseer?
>>540519619Was getting caught part of their plan?
>>540525674Of course! Nurglites would have stagnated your society otherwise, they had to find out how defeat traits buffed you.
>>540522551Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking
h*e**s never happenedstop trolling
>>540480658>I'd rather CA gives us an option for things like a 'fighting withdrawal' button or something similar, so infantry can withdraw from an engagement with an enemy and retreat to a location whilst still facing and fighting the enemy, instead of just turning and running - and getting fucked up by the enemy in the process.This exists in Pharaoh. There's also a similar stance to push the enemy backwards. Both are really nice and I hope they get kept for future games.
>>540507395>Warhammer 1 was a surprise hit that was never intended to go further than thathey planned a trilogy from the start
>hyenas never happ-ACK
>>540528398Christ on a bike they really fucked themselves in the ass on that one
>>540524581kek why are foot squires the same tier as dreadsaurians
>>540515067the reality is it's an inconsequential feature to add and you faggots are pathetic for defending ca
>>540529486TRVTHNVKE
>>540529486>inconsequential featurethey cant even get the ai to recruitnothing is trivial anymore
What's the thoughts on SFO?Does it fix most of the problems like sieges and AI recruitment being shit and AI in general being shit? What about the older factions like Bretonnia, are they still utter shit or does the mod fix that
>>540521857why are you using great weapon infantry against shitrats and why are you complaining they need buffs then there's a buff unit for them in the roster that you get from a building that you want to be making anyway?
>>540530524it tries to make it 'lore friendly' which makes it mostly a memeenjoy having half your army nuked in the first 15 seconds or certain borderline unstoppable unitsit makes the grail vow bretonnia units absurd
>>540530524it's a matter of tastepersonally I can't get past like turn 10 on SFO because the battle balance is so doghshit, but some people like it.there is no mod that can fix sieges because the issues are foundational, and even ai recruitment fixes are only half working from what I understand (haven't looked into it though, not playing until CA fixes it themselves)
>>540529125Same reason Plague Monk Censer Bearers are the same as a Thunderbarge.
Chaos dwarfs and Hashut should have minotaurs.

>dismounted grail knightsWhat's next? Dismounted grail reliquae?
>>540544027when would you ever want hunting hounds
Bretonnia will get nothing, you've had your rework and your new VA. You chose vanity over substance, you chose a unique voice for Alberic instead of a DLC. This was the devil's bargain. Plans made aeons ago back in the times of GraceCA and Simone. You were never getting a paid DLC, Bretonnia lost.

>>540544027>Hunting Hounds.Not sure. What's the point in these if we have mounted yeomen?>Foot Knights.Yes! I hope they have some kind of interesting buffs and/or debuffs. Would be cool if they could give additional melee attack for Foot Squires so they can work together. Maybe some kind of debuff for enemy attack or charge bonus too.>Squires (bows).Would they have armour piercing missiles? Having a higher-tier archer unit for Bretonnia would be pretty useful for them.>Questing-beasts Knights.Monstrous cavalry I'm guessing? How many entities? Anything else special about them?>Hermit Knights.Like a Bretonnian equivalent to Aspiring Champions?I think it'd be funny to have a carcass launcher catapult, launching dead cows, like the Bretonnian towers do. When the cow hits something it could explode like a bloated corpse from the VC roster, and also do poison damage over time.I'd like to see some kind of defensive stakes for archers but I've no idea how they could be implemented.
What mods solve the following problems:AI being utter shit in battlesAI being utter shit in recruitment or just doomstacking, there's never a balance

>beat down skarsnik, forget about him because I see none of his settlements>suddenly catch him in the underway and get his sweet defeat trait on LL>he's still not wiped outwhere the hell is his last settlement then?also thanks anons from last night (I think), restarted the campaign and it went much better by rushing rats and then imrik
>>540558098What do you mean ?
>>540530524SFO in general adds more passive and active abilities to units to balance with the overpowered LL, update some of the old factions from wh1 and wh2. I'm not sure if AI cheats less or not because I rarely touch vanilla wh3. The only grim (and grave) problem I have with this is that it's maintained and updated by 1 polack who refuses to let others touch his mod because "muh quality" or some shit
>>540555323>>540555979>>540556549of those mentioned,>Khorne>Greenskins>VCountsstick out the most, but I don't think I've even played any of them, how hard are they
>>540562557Grimgor is kinda rough since they nerfed Cathay feeding you free money and Tamurkhan/Greasus are your early game nemeses. That being said he's not too hard.Khorne is braindead retarded no matter what lord you go with. Arbaal probably provides the most challenge but it's still bullying the other factions.Vcounts are probably the hardest ATM since they're in dire need of buffs and reworks.

Some time ago, I was checking the total war warhammer after watching some skeven gameplay and I was wondering...many of the votes were negatives with comments mentioning some "situation" happening with the total war franchise...Is there still some drama there? if so, what is it?
>>540562057your character progression could be your army comp, and you could play out battles w/ custom battles
>>540558098But Daniel exists.
>>540563481It's just CA, it's always them.
>>540563481Incompetent devs
>>540564031>CAwhat does that stand for?California?
>>540564857creative assembly. the devs.they had their talent working on games no one asked for, while a skeleton crew churned out sloppy, lazy dlc. they charged more for the slop, too.they claim that their head is in the game now. it probably helped when they realize their last 2 full releases made less money than a wh3 dlc
>>540565109thanks for the info, the only game I have played from there is rome total war, and I didn't like the remake even when there were a lot of plraising for having "better color" for me it looks like a downgrade...I got the shogun one for free, but I really suck at it.
Wood Elf Ambushes being at 100% at all times will never not be funny
>>540562557vcunts vary a lot depending on how successful you are at getting good battle markers for raise dead because you really, really want a mortis engine or at least a corpse cart forma de unholy lodestone with every army and those take a while to get to through building chainsonce you have access to high tier units it's a pick your own difficulty sort of faction, from zombie crypt horror mortis engine a-move fuckpiles to vargheist micro
>>540567865Even funnier is how it's a flat percentage and infact can still fail so it's a common way for noobs to cry "wtf I had 100% still fail" as we've seen many times on here.
>>540570936Its easier to just spam necromancers than raise dead or recuit corpse carts
Find my harem
>>540572819you need some territory before you can recruit necromancers at level 15 or whenever they get an unholy lodestone

>>540580786You probably have a mod conflicting with something. I had to go through my list meticulously and now I'm stable most of the time, I do get some crashes during loading once in a while though
>>540580952I've modded the game too much but until the next update randomizes everything again I'm kinda stuck with this loadout I got now. Some are ones that I can just never turn off like the perma-blood textures or the model packs for generic lords and heroes so the game isn't made up of the same 3 guys copy/pasted for every non-legendary character in a faction.Game just isn't even fun without the little quality of life stuff. Also the Fimir and Albion faction pack mods and the Chaos Ogres are excellent. I already had to take a massive L by turning off the map expander and LL expansion for the far east and sacrifice like a 5th of my game world.I refuse to give more ground.

what's the point of archer chariots with the kangs
>>540584748For when horse archers and chariots just aren't shitty enough for ya. Maybe they're better than another free unit of skellies in AR so you can give them to your shitstack army? I doubt it, but I don't know.
>>540584748Just stick them on melee mode, they do about as much chaff clearing on the charge as non-archer version

>>540587002If you have like 4 archers and make sure to distract him with something he dies surprisingly quick to focus fireJust spread them out so he doesn't make them all enrage into him if he gets in range Casket is alright but your nice midgame units are the ushabti, necropolis knights, and stalkers
>>540587254ok thanks, I built the ushabti landmark. Nehekaran magic reads like it's doodoo

>>540607095Slambo
>>540607095they are all about equally OP but if you were to hold a grudge-raker to my head and ask probably Sigvald, because his faction is the most generic out of all of them.
>>540607960>Sigvald>most genericI disagree, but what makes you think so? He's WoC + seduction mechanic. Kholek is pretty clearly "most generic" (out of WoC) I'd think. I even replayed him recently, was good fun, but he's the most straight-forward and simplest.
>>540608140My reasoning is that Azazel does better Slaanesh things, and Archaon does better undivided things, so he just ends up feeling like he doesn't specialize in anything. Kholek is pretty generic too though, but his gimmick of gathering vassals to get big is interesting, and dragon ogre recruitment is nice to have for when you push out of the mountains.

>>540614368this, Total War teams are mostly the same, then the Alien team which is pretty small.
>>540614782didn't they replace the team just recently? hence the state of the current patch?
>>540586770>Giffon are only for generals
>>540614890define "replace".They're just putting more effort elsewhere, they have 2 new TW games + a big DLC for WH3 coming next year.People have to come to terms that the WH3 life cycle is ending.
>>540614890I believe it's because the TW team is working on the next game with only a few left for patching. Heck the dlc was given over to Sofia to handle.
>>540615423the people that worked on the game were put somewhere else to work on something else and they put other people in their stead to work on warhammer. i don't remember the details

So, is this the type of game where "do this thing with this faction and always win" or can RNG screw you over still?
I finally figured out how to have fun with pharaoh dynasties, just give yourself every buff possible on the campaign customization screen. The default 2 recruitment slots and upkeep are cock and ball torture.
>>540616397It couldbut then people complain, now it can't
>>540615650They just gutted the DLC team, because they have other priorities in the oven.
>>540584839What is THE horse archer faction in warhammer? I want to recreate my attila experience in this game
>>540616862Warhammer's kinda lacking in steppeniggers. There's this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3549697947 that makes the setting's mongol expies into a playable faction, but I haven't tried it myself, so can't say how heavily they lean into horse archery.
>>540616670Well...that's kind of boring.
>>540616591I just use a selection of mods that rebalance the unit costs and limit the ai in other ways that are most bothersome.I never had a problem with 2 recruitment slots because you're better off stacking all your recruitment buildings together in one province anyways, and the recruitment slot building is pretty easy to build up.the only game setting I change is the one that makes it so factions are wiped out when their last settlement is taken, absolutely necessary with how much they like to spam single generals
>>540616862Mongol traits are split between ogres and hobgoblins, but ogres don't have horse archers so probably hobgoblins fit it better, but thematically it would feel weird since you're just playing chorfs but limiting yourself to their shittiest units
>>540615773Why man angry ???
>>540616862Lorewise, Hobgoblins and the Hung are the nomads constantly fighting over the steppe while riding wolves or horses.Neither really have their own faction ingame though, only really reflected with a few units in adjacent factions rosters.
>>540617136I was just really tired of getting dicked in the early game by those 3 caananite factions as ramesses, they spawn 3 full stacks from their single settlements while i recruit 2 units at a time like a cuck.
>>540616862Norsca (can use their units as WoC too). Go Wulfrik and pick all the +spear/javelin shit, and go full javelin horsemanii. They're throwing, not archer. But if it has to be archer, then any of the goblin shit (greenskin or chaos dwarf, gs prob best). Can do it as TKangz but not as good and harder to do overall.
Hmm...

What's everyone's favourite pharaoh dynasties faction? For me it's sherden, instant terror rout build is good fun
>>540622891Haven't played any Mesopotamian factions yet but probably Amenmesse, his archers outperform any ranged unit in the game and all the gold he gets makes trade deals really easy
>>540620759Rome 2 critically failed in the roster design/balance department. Every faction just narrows to one or two optimal units that you just want to spam to fill out your armies.This at least is something that Attila does so much better. If only the AI knew how to recruit more than just spearmanii shitstacks.
>>540623629It's not the rosters its the entire battle mechanics, morale doesn't matter, you can envelope and charge a high tier unit with shitty units and it will take no casualties so tactics become useless.
>>540620759Tons of factions don't have heavy infantry, Seleucids have heavy cav, Egypt has chariots and some factions like Kush focus on archery. You have literally just played Rome.
>>540622187Bretonnia!
>>540624060>Tons of factions don't have heavy infantry, Seleucids have heavy cav, Egypt has chariots and some factions like Kush focus on archeryThis is a straight up lie, Seleucids and Egypt have the best heavy infantry roster after Rome
>>540624141Bretonnia doesn't have an anvil
>>540624616ahem: repanse
>>540624725Single entities don't qualify as anvils
>>540625134it was a joke about how she's flat
>>540624616Questing knights work fine both ways.
>>540624438Seleucids and Egypt aren't included in the factions that don't have heavy infantry (or at least have late heavy infantry, Iceni focus on ambush for a good chunk of the game for instance) I was using them as examples of factions that have different types of units. It's your fault if you haven't learned that the factions that have cataphracts or scythed chariots actually are incredibly good at morale shock.
>>540625262lol my autism didn't catch that
punished wegh
>>540625313There is no morale shock in rome 2, just bring better quality heavy infantry and win, it's why mp niggers mald so hard over pikes.
>>540625269What does french people being half gay have to do with anything
>>540624616Beat the hammers against each other
>>540626000gayest post of the day award goes to you
>>540616862Ellyrion.
>>540625525Once again, not my fault you haven't actually used units that are good at morale shock. A game like 3K where you get chain routs for nothing on records mode might be more your speed.
>>540626205
>>540626535You have no idea what morale shock is, go play attila and shogun 2 then come back to me.
>>540625324im esl but isnt the saying usually "flat as a board/plank"?
>>540626953Flat as an anvil is also used sometimes.
>>540626742I've played both but nice try. Attila is great but there basically is no difference between melee cav and shock cav that's how insane their charge bonus is. Play as factions that actually specialize in shock cav in Rome 2 and stop crying like a bitch. Or install DEI and a faster battle mod and stop crying like a bitch.
Trailer next week, frens!
>>540581507I'm curious what mods you run. This is pretty stable for me all things considered. I might get a gamebreaking CTD because you'll never know, but if that happens I just reload an older save and try again and it usually sorts itself out
>>540627209Again, there is no shock in rome 2 because morale does not matter. Your autistic screeching does not change this. The only "shock" in rome 2 is getting a unit of elephants and plowing through everything then calling it shock damage.
>>540618019
>>540627826There is shock. Stop crying online, open the game and use Hellenic or Parthian cataphracts. Or any of the cataphracts in Empire Divided.
>>540628674They don't do anything and it's laughable pathetic you think they do. And they're even worse in empire divided because their unit stats are straight up wrong, have you even played the game?
>>540628892Once again, yes. I have played nearly every game in the franchise. Repeating that ad nauseum will not change reality.
>>540629019If you've played them then the only conclusion I can draw is that you have a mental handicap. My condolences, I hope one day you recognize what shock actually means.
>>540629346One day I hope you actually play the factions with clearly demarcated shock cav instead of Rome with its shit melee cav and thus stop crying online.
The new Lizardmen spawning mechanic is great, I love it when you can get cool units without building them
I've gotta play some more Greenskins for their amazing voice lines and the new LL and units
>>540630291How does it work? Spawning actual dinos is bullshit if it does that
>>540631341I don't think you can get SEM spawnings, but now there're kroxigor and possibly even terradons available
>>540631341the new blesses spawn system makes it so that you can recruit anything from the blessed spawn pool as long as you have enough currency, and the currency is super easy to get although not nearly as bad as tomb king jarsso basically spawning dinos>>540631628you can
>>540631628krox is fine because they spawn in lore but terradons is cheating
>>540631341You generate Spawning Sequence with quests, rituals and other stuff, an then use it to spawn units.You can only recruit one of each unit at a time and the resource feels limited, but otherwise it's rather nice.By your definition it's bullshit btw
Anons help. I'm addicted to settlement cheese. >About to attack next foe>Sell my bordering settlement to him for 10-30k before declaring war, take it instantly back with lone lord (and reinforcing invading army), invading army goes to invade his settlements the same turnI'm swimming in gold and can have armies in earlygame expanding in each direction instead of just one. Going back to normal gameplay feels so slow and ineffective.
>>540631628>I don't think you can get SEM spawningsYou can, Carnosaur costs like 300 but you can get it
>>540631852try that one diplomacy mod. it makes the ai way more unlikely to accept those kinda deals
>>540631852I feel like I'm tempted to break my campaign every single run I do with itI don't cheese quite that hard but an easy alliance or god forbid a vassalize is always an option at some point

I didn't even realize they had added it for I don't even know how long but I absolutely love the new slider they added to the difficulty modifier so you could play against Hard AI but without giving them hard stat buffs. Forces me to play more battles and to reposition and pay attention to my units more and makes the fights so much more engaging.Hats off to whoever it was at CA who signed off on that.
>>540634283Because the game is better then? Being unbalanced isn't sovl it's just lazy game crafting
I would like to maybe play as slaanesh and norsca this year please

The Ghoul King and his affiliates spread death even further across the Badlands. Ekrund, the defiant and sun-bleached squat of degenerate tribal orcs has been sacked by a Necrarch dreadlord, its primitive residents slaughtered despite fierce resistance, its scrawny Night Goblin steward having his life personally extinguished by the undead fiend.Though the greenskins and Skaven have up until now driven the Dwarfs out of their holds, even conquering the mighty Karaz-a-Karak and sending the bearded race scattering for Imperial sanctuary, can the forces of destruction hope to overcome this new horrifying threat? Or will the ratmen and orcs find themselves drowning in a tide of bones and mouldering flesh?

>>540636094Its weird because the Banshees and Cairn Wraiths do but the Hexwraiths don't because they were too lazy to animate a cavalry unit disapparating.

Why are they keeping the dlc from us?Are they punishing us?Have we been bad?
i struggle to play chorfs in battles. is it my army comp? its fucking annoying trying to recruit a more balanced/good army while also putting out fires and chasing factions across the worldtried to fight this manually and it was too aids, frontline crumbles quickly and barely get to use my blunderbussies
>>540641480>Drazhoath for the best faction color,This is unironically why I play him

>>540647294yeah
>>540647920why do people use wide formation for archers? cube turns and retargets much faster, the field of fire isn't really badly affected and you can protect them much easier when they're more compact than the frontliners

Isn't this a bit unfair?
>>540654238I'm just curious if it ends up being some hacky sequence where he hits the 1 in a million long shot that then demoralizes the entire Bretonnian army and they instantly rout

>>540654486The only stupid garbage I can't stand from modern TW games is the "procrastinator" trait, how am I supposed to garrison specific points when the game doesn't allow me to recruit troops without a fucking general? why the fuck the garrisoned general that I must have there get punished? Fucking stupid
>Bought several DLCs including Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs during the Steam Summer sale>haven't played TWW3 since then so haven't tried ut any of the DLC's i boughtWtf is wrong with me?
>>540655697i don't think you'll get that trait while recruiting.
>>540655957No but you'll get when trying to force a defensive encounter o while replenishing
>>540656048you mean when being besieged? sally out
>>540656149No, I mean leaving a garrison in a frontier while securing a different front
>>540655697Negative traits like that have been around for a long timeUsed to have to park a general in a city to maintain order, then make sure to walk him out a tile or two every turn before going right back in so he wouldn't get hit with negative traits for having full movement at turn end.
Man, from busting my ass with nukes and doomwheels to being completely destroyed by a bunch of Battle Pilgrims and Pegasus, the final assault against the Ikkit clan was..lackluster>>540655905You could have just pirated it all with creamapi

me and my buddies out here spreading chaos corruption, killing everyone in the way of my destiny
I'm fucking mad at silent hill f for being dogshitI'm never playing another game that isn't total war
Well, that is it I guess. The beginning was hella rough and I thought I would be sandwiched to death by Skulltaker and Rrrats, but once Lustria was done, things felt..boring in a way, the only challenge I had was Ikkit, but he felt cheap. Fighting him on AR was easier because of his nuke spam, if the units weren't so fuckey to pathfind properly in a siege zone, I would have took the challenge of baiting his nukesAre campaigns usually like that? This is the first time I bothered to end a W3 IE campaign, once the "regional" stage was over, it felt like I was doing overtime.The incursion event was hella weird tho, I made a bunch of Dawii declare war at me, but the win con was being held by another Dawii clan that was neutral to me, so I basically fought an unbuffed faction as my final scenario? Was the endgame crisis supposed to confederate everyone or what?Any mods recommendations bar VCO?>>540664138Man, it's a shame that we can't merge LL, would be fun to use all WoC LL in a map without the reinforcement shtick
>ar cheatingyou didn't beat the game
>>540665930/horg/ says it's good doe.
>>540666023was the donut always that fart up north?

>>540666364they're fucking lying
>>540666540They probably dragged it up north when they expanded Lustria and the old world. Makes it easier for the Dark Elves to set launching grounds from the Chaos Wastes too
when you play high elf are you supposed to settle with a second lord who has a bad trait? you won't have enough influence to get one that isn't bad
>>540660164
>>540668086you can swap them out later
>>540668086Depends on who you're playing, you can get 15 influence really quick so it's not usually worth it unless you need a second army right away (you can always replace them later too)
>>540668086Play Eltharion you start with a second amry with a Lord with a good Trait.
>>540668086the real cheese strat is to start eltharion campaignauto reoslve his first battle in the badlandstake the option for 120 influencerecruit 2 60 influence lords you likeSAVE THEM for another campaignrepeat as needed for all the traits you want so that in other campaigns you can bypass influence altogether and just recruit your saved lords with the good trait
Is CA going to remove the penalties for 0 influence characters? I can see it happening with their current faction design philosophy.

>>540660164the same way you use every faction in the gameheroes in the front ranged behindif you faction has no ranged that means you are playing one of the overtuned factions and you can just send the heroes forward and win anyway
>>540680547We chaos worshippers bitch, we faggots in this hoe, take your sensitive ass back to the Empire!
>>540668854>SAVE THEM for another campaignyou cheated not only the game but yourself
>So... many... snowflakeschuds, bel'akor is making fun of us...
>>540689243It does sound rude but it makes sense. Neo meaning new, homo meaning same/similar. If you read into the Spartan class divide and how it evolved over time you'd get it.
I had another battle where all I did as greenskins was attack-move the enemy army. I don't know what I'm suppose to do during a fight otherwise, but it's working.
>>540689567>If you read into the SpartanI actively refuse to read about SpartaI'd rather learn about the struggles of small time olive oil producers in rural Attica than learn about Sharta

How much do you imagine your beastmanii rape? And what was their most famous/prestigous rape?
>>540693175anon I do not imagine that ever
>>540693175No more than other factions in various contexts. I know some lore, read some books, but ultimately not a lot. It's infrequent and brief. Similar to this is Taurox, how he (and IIRC his followers) stomp all enemies they defeat into total paste to squeeze as much blood as they can out of them, hence the rivers of blood mechanic. I sometimes imagine those barely alive or whatever seeing what is happening to their dead comrades, and they're soon. Some pretty fucked up shit in (older) Warhammer.
>>540693175I'm not trans sorry.
What proof do we actually have that beastmen rape at all?>captcha arr00
>>540695083None. Beastmen are very careful to adhere to the consent of whatever they want to breed with. They know the no means no. And from the lowest gor to the biggest gorgon they all respect it.
>>540695083Based lorelet.
>>540695207>>540695237not an argument
>>540695207This legit sounds like something GW would write in the common day >while beastmen DO ravage and pillage even BEASTS wouldnt copulate with a fair lass without her consent they're evil but not THAT evil
>>540689920You could try using archers (which are worse than average archers), flanking with cavalry (which has been powercrept so hard it loses to pretty much any monstrous cavalry) or bombarding them artillery (which is middling at best).
>>540695207This is true.Chaos doesn't like Rape mmkay
>>540695426Beastmen don't exist anymore, they even got cancelled from AoS
>>540695426Beastmen dont in AoS. They might be savage abominations of Chaos that seek to defile and destroy all, but being a r*pist is just too hecking far even for them.

>>540716747anon you have to understand turn 30 is considered a long campaign to anons
>>540719573It's more how many you get, which he can't answer. You get 1 "early", then....no more. Cool. Meanwhile everyone else can recruit a lot of whatever when available (barring the rare instances of caps e.g. beastmemes).
>>540710542Cool but I remember all the cathay/chorf never ever posting
>>540718521ToT races are all going to get the same treatmentThe most praised dlc is decay which made Empire and Dwarfs fucking busted, Reddit doesn't mind shit being made OP at all
>>540696012Yeah, Chaos just brainwash you into fucking. It's not rape! They wanted it deep down!
>>540719573>>540719737A t4 unit at t30 is pretty swift, t4 is considered ‘power unit in a starting army’ tier, and as nurgle, you shouldn’t be losing units frequency, especially valuable ones. Maybe you can physically make tons of high tier units once unlocked as other factions, but nobody can realistically afford more than one or two early anyways.
>>540719737You should have enough other units by then that it doesn't matter, and if you want more, you can spend infections to rush the cycles, or conquer more territory to get more cycles going. It's not like you need more than 1 soul grinder at that point in the game anyways.

>>540725962Yeah these things are horrific, just take off auto fire and turn on defensive mode and you can just select any elite infantry (and anyone near them) to not exist
>>540725451Learn how to use gunmanii and Artillery
>>540726270>10k killswhat the fuck did you fight?
>>540726645Think thats damage
>>540722316We will be having none of that heresy here
>>540726797VICTOR WATCH OUT!!
so how do tzeentch armies worki get abusing magic but what about their roster? the ranged units have low range and the melee and cavalry doesn't seem that impressive
>>540726645It's damage as gold value which is way more important than kills
>>540726890B a r r i e r
>>540726890>ranged units have low rangeSo do irondrakes and blunderbussies but everyone knows not to fuck with themJust rush the actual armored melee units and you're good to go
>>540726890Early game blue horrors deal surprisingly good ranged damage due to their unit count, though you wanna pivot to Chaos Warriors asap obviously. Flamers obliterate infantry and changebringers are even better (higher angle of fire, also useful in sieges) but very vulnerable to ranged/flying units, so at least couple Doom Knights make your life a lot easier. Cavalry is nothing to write home about but Barrier synergizes really well with shock cavalry. Burning Chariot is unique: its ranged attack deletes SEMs (even small ones) but its worthless as chariot. Its basically "This unit removes enemy's most dangerous single entity" card.I never felt their armies were exceptionally strong so you kinda have to learn heavily on magic spam.
>>540727375>>540727615thanksok i figured it was sort of like that, i guess you mostly set up your army in a favourable spot while you send your mages and single entities around to deal with things
>>540724317Grave perhaps...
>>540722316Gram...
>>540727887Well no you don't play like some elf or dwarf, you still want to be aggressive if you're short range
Literally just greenskins
>>540727615>Burning Chariotlike a luminark?
>>540730132What is "getch"?
>>540730207catch but imagine it in ogre dialekt
>>540730132meatMeatMEAT
>>540709008Isn't it like the tribe name ?
99% sure I "understand" the Chaos Dwarves mechanics, but I definitely don't actually understand. And then I glance over at the AI, and yes I know they're cheating, but seeing them with a full stack of tier 3-4 units while the most impressive thing I've added to my starting army is two extra units of blunderbusses and a single hellcannon is depressing.
>>540730867Stop playing on any difficulty except normal retard
>>540730963You're one of those turds that cries that the game is too easy.
>There is some anons who expected the DLC to be released the 1st / the 5th or even the 15th of October>Not the 31st
>>540731048Holy projection and no I have never had that complaint
wait a minute why are they leaving their settlement this is like turn 2i seem to remember those guys just turtling there until you came by
>>540726871It's ok, he can take'em
>>540731120I’m not even expecting October anymore. I just don’t expect anything.I do suspect a 3 week announce/launch cycle instead of 2 though. If anything, i can see an announce/teaser this/next week for the trailer the following week.
>>540726912both are arbitrary, you should know the value of your unit simply by observing its performace in battle
>>540731196Vampire factions move around to neighbouring provinces to raise the dead.
>>540732153It's not the only relevant metric, a life/summon wizard or nondamaging line holder is still providing vital value to an armyBut to call it arbitrary is RETARDED
>>540732979he didn't recruit anyone and just came back to his settlement to dievery strange
>Go back to trying an empire run>early game units are shit>no growth or income>infantry losing fights to trash units>endless hordes of squigs invading from the southI fucking hate the dlc turned AI orcs into nothing but squigs. Squig herds backed by mangler squigs flanked by colossal squigs lead by a goblin on a squig with goblin bosses that summon more squigs.I want to go back to my chaos campaign but shitting on order factions is just boring, they're too easy.
>>540735143Which LL? You shouldn't be expecting Empire infantry to win battles to begin with. Ranged units, artillery, cavalry charges, and magic are your damage dealers. Your infantry is only there to screen.
>stand kugath (with pestilent decay) and a warshrine in a blob of nurglings and plaguebearers>win every fightFeels good man
>>540735412Nuln. The knights are shit as well so it's all handguns and missile cav until landships and demigryphs it feels like which isn't helpful when I have WAAGH stacks invading from the south turn 25.
>>540735948rockets
>start game>run into siege on the first turn>suddenly remember how much I despised sieges>quit gameNo rework is gonna fix this
>>540736835>No rework is gonna fix thisTrvth. Fucking sofia retards are still wasting resources on it instead of fixing the tons of bugs.
imagine playing total war
imagine playing total
>>540730132I still don't get why they sound BritishI thought they were meant to be Mongols
>>540714672Variety
>>540738015nobody knows how mongolian accent even sounds like. so, fat english retard it is. i still don't get why we don't get german accent for the empire. i know it sounds awful, but so do french and chinese accents
>>540714672steampunk (gunpowder, rockets, steamtanks, mages in cosplay)
>>540714672You build armies of tanks supported by rifles and helicopters from the dwarves so you get to larp as modern forces in a fantasy setting.
This is a reminder that if you don't have the permanent blood texture mod you're literally playing an inferior version of the game that lacks proper grimdark vibes.
>>540715837cathay can do everything the empire can but better
>>540739384>but betterThey're asian so they're objectively cringeNow if we had a middle eastern human faction that would be another thing
>>540739262Man blood in that game looks bad, all his games deathmog it
>>540739384>gunpowder empire is better in everything except comparing crane gunners to hochland long rifles>artilleryempire is better>magicempire has lore of life, automatically better, also bigger varietyonly thing better is melee infantry as cathay can actually hold the line
>>540739384>female grenadiersno wonder their range is so shit
>>540739262>blood in total war>someone dies>they explode in the showers of strawberry jelly visible from spaceNo thanks.
>>540735143Bro, why are you using infantry as your main pusher? Just grab a few pikes and then fill your remaining slots with gunmanii and one or two horsemanii to hunt down siege weapons or fleeing foes
>>540738380ALBERRRIC DE BORDELUXX
>>540714672The fine functioning of a modern relatively advanced society with comprehensive systems of government and institutions that lend services to the population, a well structured military that prioritizes innovation and discipline put in service of the defense of towns, cities and roads, a solid economic system that puts it's focus on industry and trade, and a location that, while still dark and crazed on occasion as any other place in Warhammer, offers a relatable and comprehensive base from which to stare at and confront all the fucking ridiculous ass bullshit that happens in the Warhammer world.
>>540739927Stop bullying the cathayan girls, they're doing their best! ;_;
>>540530524I literally cant play TW:WH3 without it. Makes it more in depth and more slow, which i enjoy. Also the dwraf starting infantry can now actually hold the line properly.
