>>542996000Rome 2 and Attila.All of the pre-healthbar games are extremely lethal and swingy, with individual combat usually playing out and one side breaking or being wiped within the duration of a charge bonus.WH sped things back up again because it abstracted and simplified a lot of things, and 3k/Troy/Pharaoh uses its systems. Pharaoh especially is fast-paced and swingy because of Lethality (chance for every hit to instantkill its target)Rome 2 and Attila slowed the game way down. They added healthbars so that combat wouldn't swing extremely fast in one direction or another based on some lucky high/low rolls as it did in older titles and generally increased the average durability and ttk of all units.Personally I think Attila struck the perfect balance. Frontline combat is gradual and grindy, with stamina and depth of reserves often making the difference, while specialized shock units and a well planned flank can still melt a chosen target at the right time and create a breakthrough to fold a flank or envelop the enemy, but are themselves fragile, situational expended quickly once committed.
>>542999119You can also use the DeI mod for Rome 2 for even slower battles

Ind status:Khuresh status:Gates of Calith status:
>>542999119>Pharaoh especially is fast-paced and swingy because of LethalityI disagree on it being faster than Warhammer and Troy, can't speak on the other games. Lethality makes the actual engagement faster, but there's more that goes into it than just charging in. You have to set up flanks, wear them out, break their armor, or even block escape routes to give yourself the advantage before committing to the kill, unless you want to take horrible casualties, or are playing a faction that specializes in frontline charging or missiles.And then there's siege/encamp battles to consider where you can't get a good flank in to maximize lethality until later on when one chokepoint falls, and if you are the attacker you can choose to burn down the buildings first if you are at a disadvantage.Not the slowest in the series but slower than people make them out to be.
>>543000150The mask is cursed actually. In the TT rules the mask gives a fear test penalty to him as well as enemies. He just wears it because he thinks it's cool.

I just want CA to add new mechanics modders can utilize at this point. When the content cycle for the game ends it will be for the better, since mods won't be getting broken by every micro-update. Modfags do a better job than CA.
>>542999817Every game prior to Rome 2 has all units given a health value of 1, except for a few special cases that have a health value of 2 (ie generals in M2).Most of a unit's survivability comes from a series of background 'saving rolls' that determine whether a unit actually dies or not when an attack hits them. This can result in immortal jedi generals that cleave through whole armies, or can cause your expensive unit of elite samurai to rout after a single archer volley but generally boils down to an average number of hits necessary to kill a unit.The problem with this system over a healthbar system is that it isn't cumulative. If an entity gets hit and survives, the odds of it getting hit again and surviving again is static. This necessitates that the system make the odds of dying with every hit very high, even for high-tier units, otherwise you produce a lot of weird edge cases where a unit just refuses to die. In other words, the survivability of a unit only increases marginally with its tier and stats, and you'll often be disappointed in a game like Shogun 2 at how easily your elite heavily armoured and well trained samurai just melt under fire from peasant archers, or surprised in a game like Medieval 2 at how it sometimes takes half of your army surrounding a general and grinding bodies into it for several minutes to actually kill anything--or sometimes doesn't.With a healthbar, you still average out a given number of hits to kill, but you narrow those edge cases where a unit dies too easily or too hard, which in general allows you to make it take more hits to kill without it seriously messing up the way the system works.
>>543001315Stop spouting shit you have no idea aboutRome 1 and med 2 battles could take 30 mins, you are a severe newfag if you think rome 2 or attila is slower
>>543001654nta, but did you even read the post?
>>543001654>Rome 1 and med 2 battles could take 30 minsIncluding marching and chasing down units maybe lmao
>>543000740In Pharaoh the optimal army composition is 20 of your best 2-handed shock infantry and just running over the enemy in a tide of cavemanii.Yeah the combat can be slow if you rub two masses of spear infantry against each other but that's like saying Napoleon's combat can be slow if you disable fire at will.I'm consistently shocked when playing Pharaoh at how quickly even the best defensive infantry will just melt when charged frontally by anything offensive. You can't really block chokepoints the same way you would in older games because nothing holds a chokepoint well enough to buy you time to do anything about it before just disintegrating. Part of it is balance, shock infantry are too good at everything and there's no real downside to using them. But the other part is just the way unit cohesion works in those games. You can jam 3-5 units into the space that 1 unit would normally occupy and they'll just phase through each other and trigger matched combat against the defender, where each defending entity was 1v5'd and thus eating constant undefended attacks, or suffering 'flanking' and 'rearcharge' penalties frontally.On average battles in Pharaoh take me less time than prebattle deployment and it's kind of mindnumbing how effective it is to just mob the enemy with two handed clubs and speedrun battles without thinking.>>543001219>>543001654Rome 1 is the fastest paced game in the series. I don't know what to tell you, anon. If you weren't consistently triggering chain routs the moment your charge collides with the enemy then you weren't even playing the same game as me. Part of the beauty of Rome 1 was how you could develop your strategy to essentially shatter the enemy army on contact and win pitched battles with single digit losses. You can't really replicate that in any other game but it is absolutely anything but slow. The only thing slow about Rome 1 are the loading times.
It's raining.
grim
>>543001219>coping this hardrome 1 was absolutely fast wtf are you talking about faggot
>>543001654>Rome 1 and med 2 battles could take 30 mins, Only because you used your OP bodyguard general to slaughter literally 2000 enemies on the field including spear militia because the AI is so fucking stupid
Rome 2 is quite slow if you play as Macedon.Not really quite as slow if you play as Rome.
I know we have talked about this a lot but I hope that the next historical game doesn't make the general units too overpowered.Rome 2 lets you recruit tier 5 units as your general even if it is turn 1 and these guys really can kill about 500 tier 1 troops by themselves.
grave
40k and Med3 are the next obvious games, they're going to sell even if they release broken.people thinking CA would risk anything else at this point in time is retarded, even alien isolation 2 is being made, they're going full fanservice to survive.

>>543003064I think Troy's historical mode, ironically, did it the best.Your general's bodyguard is a generic unit from your faction. You get to pick which unit, with a skill tree essentially letting you unlock higher-tier units. So new generals start out nothing special, but can let you skip ahead a little in the tech tree by leveling them up, and then by lategame they fall off again. Turning Odysseus into Exemplary Ambushers early on when you don't yet have the gold income for the real thing and using him as the hammer for your anvil was cool.When the general is just a worthless deadweight you have to babysit like Empire, Napoleon, S2 etc it's just kind of annoying that they exist, but I'd rather not have something like Medieval 2 where the general is just the strongest unit in the army from turn 1, or like Rome 2/Attila where some generals are dead weight and others are frustratingly strong.But by far the system I hate the most is Pharaoh's. Your bodyguard's unit class and stats are determined by the looted gear you equip them with, but the gear you loot is random and you have a limited amount of it so you basically have no real control over whether your generals are going to be spearmanii or clubmanii, light infantry or heavy infantry (and most of those combinations make no sense). But the choice is illusory anyways because bodyguards are like t2.5 and fall off as combat units almost right away, the stat differences between equipment is marginal and most of the traits you can give them are irrelevant.

>>543005735>30th Anniversary Regiments of Renownuh what?
>>542982362This is a self report
>>543005834They said in before Dynasties came out they wanted the general unit to not be too powerful it was supposed to be a support unit that flanks and keeps morale. This is especially true for Babylonian bodyguard units.
>>543005834>some generals are dead weight and others are frustratingly strongTo be fair, at least in Attila you can upgrade them to be a better unit, but the upgrade path is fucked.

>>543011106I'm FUCKING SICK of all the Optimate propaganda being passed around as "history" here and the blatant lies they tell about /our guy/ Julius Caesar, so let's set the record straightas the Roman Republic became the hegemon of the Mediterranean Italia was flooded with slaves and riches. most of this wealth flowed to the hands of the rich Patrician aristocrats, who over time started displacing the traditional farmer-citizens of rural Italy and massive estates based around slave-labor started dominating the landscapeby the mid 2nd century BC Rome was racked by mass unemployment. a new class of jobless urban poor filled the streets as all the jobs in the rural areas were being taken up by slaves and, until 107 BC, these poor souls couldn’t even escape poverty by joining the legions as property ownership was a requirement.two men attempted to solve the situation, they were the Gracchi brothers. Grandsons of the legendary Scipio Africanus, the General who stopped Hannibal Barca and saved the Republic.but guess what, when time came and the Optimates had to choose between their bottom line and the greater good of Roman society they chose their wealth.Tiberius Gracchus? murdered on the orders of the corrupt senate! Gaius Gracchus? also murdered by optimate vermin!the Roman republic entered a death spiral once the Gracchi brothers were gone. with their blind naked greed they butchered the innocent, Scipio’s own blood ran in the streets of Rome! peaceful reformers who would put the poor back to work as productive citizen-farmers instead of letting them be a dead weight on society were murdered for their efforts…
>>543011106>CaesarHe didn't actually do anything Tyrannical. He just won a civil war that he didn't actually start>Alexander'forged by his father' is a meaningless platitude. You could argue that every leader's achievements were owed to the ground laid by the previous generation. The truth is that it was Alexander, not Philip, that invaded Persia. It was Alexander, not Philip, who triumphed at Gaugamela. It was Alexander, not Philip, who revolutionized antiquity warfare and decisively ended the reign of the chariot on the battlefield.Alexander wasn't leading an army of 40-year olds trained personally by his dad. He was leading an army of men his age, striving and succeeding to exceed the legacy of their fathers who fought with Alexander's father. That's how history works.>Napoleon wasn't actually short.I've seen his shoes on display at a museum. He was a manlet. He was also an autistic manchild that lived off the 19th century equivalent to chicken tendies, threw frequent temper tantrums and refused to fuck his many wives so adamantly that his servants had to beg him to get in bed and conceive offspring.
>>543012034Not that bad, but to be honest, people are pretty desperate for content from CA. 1 year for this DLC better be good.

>>543011106>>543012335the optimate in their shortsightedness decided that turning Italia into their own personal mass slave plantation was the better course of action, these are the "people" claiming to be saviours of the Republic.decades down the line, none of these problems were solved, in fact they were even worse, because none of the "wise" people in the senate ever thought that the good of society was more important than the weight of their purse.this was the world the brilliant General and unparalleled politician Gaius Julius Caesar was born intohe was one of the only people who gave a shit about the poor in the Late Republic, and finally introduced some land reforms despite enormous resistance from Senate and the Optimates.can you take a wild guess at what his Optimate rivals inevitably did? they murdered him while claiming to be saving the “Saving the Republic” and that he was a “tyrant”I ask you this, if he truly was a tyrant, like the likes of Cato like to portray him as, then why did his murderers immediately flee Rome after their heinous act? wouldn't they be hailed as heroes for slaying the tyrant? if he truly was a tyrant, then why did the many thousands of Roman citizens grieve his death and seek vengeance for it?optimates were nothing but vile traitors who claimed to uphold Roman tradition but murdered anyone who got in their way, completely violating Roman Law, ignoring the greater good of Roman Society and without care for the Political Stability of the Republicthey happily committed murder inside the senate house itself and are directly at fault for the fall of the Res Publica and the rise of the Empirehonestly Julius Caesar's only fault was excessive mercy, he shouldn’t have spared so many of those snakes after the defeat of Pompey in their brief civil war

>>542997796>and Proof that isn't my eceleb said so?Valrak, despite being a sloptuber. is incredibly consistent with his reveals for 40k in general, and despite GW sending the Nottingham Gestapo to vape any leakers, a handful of his leakers have remained unclaimed and anonymous. He got most of 9th edition and 10th edition right. He got the Christmas boxes for 40k entirely correct and he likely has deep pockets in gaming leaks. Almost everything he has stated as rumours has come out to be true. That's not to say he is correct all the time. The new Chaos Biker models he promised years ago still have not manifested, but that's his only real blunder for now. There are three things to consider. Firstly, TW3 is getting the end times (not the one you're thinking of) so CA needs a new cash cow. CA singlehandedly revived the fantasy setting, so GW will be handing them licences to do as they wish. They absolutely will cash in on the far more popular 40k setting.Secondly, the amount of different videos Valrak has put out and the details he goes through seem to be too organised to be invented. It's not impossible that it could be lies, but he rarely gets the level of detail he is getting from stuff he is doing wrong.Lastly, as mentioned before, he gets most things right.

>>543013217I've been following him closely this year and I can say he has been spot-on for most things, sometimes he releases a video with a rumor just for it to be confirmed a few days later. He certainly has someone pretty deep on the inside at GW, maybe even a planned leak thing to generate hype.
So Sotek finally catching some shit for being such a CA shill?
>>543014967It's not like he gives a shit at this point.
>>543014967It's hard to say because back when 99% of the people supported him he dedicated time to complaining about the remaining 1% as if it was a major issue.So now if the negativity is 30% or 60% I don't think his behavior would change much."Whining about criticism" has always been a big part of the Soitek experience

>>543016114Attila is literally the peak of Total War combat gameplay. It was the inflection point where the full potential of their new systems were realized, before they would immediately regress with WH and steadily devolve over time until whatever slop we have now.There are merits to virtually all generations of TW. Rome 1's fast and lethal combat and fragile morale system rewarded carefully setting up for a knockout deathblow. Napoleon captured musket and cannon era warfare perfectly and made it extremely satisfying to form killzones and mow the enemy down with volley fire, skirmish them to death with asymmetric warfare, or break through in melee and collapse the whole opposing army. Attila perfected the gridlock meatgrinder of organized melee combat and the power of cavalry to reshape the battlefield. And Warhammer, I suppose it gave you lots of pretty looking models and big impactful buttons to click.One system isn't inherently better than another, but they're better at creating specific experiences. You couldn't emulate Rome 1's gameplay with Rome 2's mechanics--and while emulating Rome 1's gameplay SHOULD have been an explicit goal of Rome 2, it never actually was. Warhammer's gameplay is fine for the sort of game Warhammer is supposed to be, some kind of RPG-tactics hybrid where you win because your stats are bigger and blow up the enemy with magical nukes and high tech anachronistic cannons. The problem is when they try, repeatedly, to transplant Warhammer's combat design directly into 'historical' titles, as they did with 3k, Troy and Pharaoh. The mechanics of TW combat and battles used to change pretty significantly from game to game in order to try and capture some unique aspect of that era's warfare. They just abandoned that after WH took off because CA's bean counters suffered some kind of brain parasite and decided they hated making good products.
>>543017645>in English it means "Tolkien-inspiredYour ass must be a gaping hole after taking a shit of the size out of it.

I understand that /pol/shitters are unable to accept anything related to Indians as being less than a stain upon the earth though.What about factions, units, etc? Seems like they would have enough options of cultural and religious groups to make it interesting.

Are you guys ready for Total War: Four Nations?
>>543016729Valrak doesn't strike me as the sort of guy that takes anything too seriously. He won't be mad if he's wrongI mean he weirds tinfoils in his vid sometimes. I dunno why anyone would take anything he says as 100% fact. That he's got good insider info so he ends up right sometimes doesn't mean he's not ultimately dealing in rumours and hearsay.Also he's a fellow Dornfag so all you other fags can suck it, he's /myguy/
>>543020348doesn't matter, your average consoomer will be happy anyway.
>>543020127oh the biggest most important reason of all is not a "real reason", ok.When the game sells three copies you can huff a tank of copium and denial and be completely baffled because you had epic unit variety, and (other than the reason you invalidated) there's no reason why the game would ever fail like this!

beyond ca being incompetent tw was doomed by reworks being tied to dlc. people have been begging for elf dlc when it's obvious that none of them have a dlc worth of units to add because what they really wanted was campaign reworks for the factions that already exist. this ends up with ca scrambling to make unit assets for crap that no one actually cares about which leaves them with less time to do the reworks that everyone actually wants.
>>543022459Ancient people would be exposed to so much nature that they would have wanted to get away from it

>>543022661Coast doesnt need a big rework. They need unit balancing. Just make the coves worth the effort, enable attacking from sea and add sea caravans and they are fixed.TKs aint getting shit untill Nagash. And they need more units more than a rework.Neferata is next (hopefully) so Vcunts getting a rework.Bretonnia deserves and needs the most. But they aint getting shit.
>>543022997It is a dbz spic term.
>>543017190I can answer it for you.>Pre MughalInformation is relatively scarce. That didn't stop bronze age TW, but it still wouldn't be as useful as going Mughal onwards. You'd have to really innovate for ideas to distinguish places beyond the easy to digest regionalism divide of Northern India being Iranianized (or literally Iranian conquered - then later Turk conquered) and South being more indigenous. >Post MughalWhen I was at my university I remember in the library a dizzying amount of books of India arms and armor from the colonial period. I only scanned one, I'll offer a few snapshots of it. Goa is established around the 1500s which means you have at least one European option - Brits and French establish themselves later into the 1600s, but this is also peak Mughal so you are best off waiting for Aurangzeb to die and the 18th century chaos. This is when you have a dizzying array of principalities and little states, the British and French in full, the Rohilla (Afghans who had settled in India), the actual afghans invading, the widespread use of armor still (though I am not sure if the europeans did, but I'd assume they'd have cuirasses sometimes) with musketry and so on.Okay - but why make 18th century India TW as opposed to 18th century Europe?
>>543022661French literally the least played race in all 3 games so it's kinda obvious
>>543022661Bretonnia and V Coast.Counts are in nowhere near as bad shape as the rest.

>>542987716things that current day ca can only dream of being able to do
Daniel's existence finally clicked with me now due to that Valrak video. He was always such a weird, random, out of nowhere addition nobody asked for and nonetheless with an insane amount of soul and effort put into his mechanics. No other faction in game has mechanics so indepth, most are some low effort, "I win" buttons wrapped in a pretty UI meant to distract from their nature of being blatant player only cheats.Meanwhile "Daemons of Chaos" LL has a fully fledged equipment and customization system. Unlike all other lords and heroes, let alone units, picking an item for him changes his meshes, textures, even animations and gives him completely different abilities. This is utterly insane in comparison to the rest of a game. He is so different he doesn't even work with a base game mechanic item system.It's almost as if he wasn't designed for this game......but for a game which demands a proper weapon loadout system. In Fantasy Dark Elf with a sword, a spear and a crossbow are all separate units. In TWW they made those few with a bit more customization into separate units. Like Darkshards (Shields). Or by turning sergeants into a separate unit (Shadow Warriors/Shadow Walkers) In 40k they are one very customizable one. If they do TW:40k in this style they did TWW, Kabalites alone would be like dozens of different units. And that's currently the most neglected faction, the last one to update and one which will be further expanded in 11th Edition even more. And their one, core unit is as versatile as (more than?) half of a Druchii army roster. Without such system Deldar alone would have like over a hundred units. And that's not to mention other factions, Marines in particular.And so CA made a proper weapon selection system for this title. They had to. Daniel was a prototype made with new game budget. That's why he is a thing. It all makes sense now. I believe you now Valrak.
>>543024979now imagine if we had officers and musicians too, especially the latter>cavalry bugles sounding as your demigryphs charge from the forest>skaven officers leading from behind with special models who whip the clanrats and skavenslaves into assaults>orc drums getting more intense when waaagh triggers>incredibly synchronized skeleton drummers>rhythms breaking down as unit cohesion and morale does>signal flags
>>543025001he pivoted like the drama seeking whore he is
>>543017190Ignore this >>543023189 retard, he has no idea what he's talking about. The most interesting period to set the an indian game would be during antiquity when the mauryans were around as that's the only time indian military has ever been competent. However that can easily be incorporated into Rome 3 with an extended map. Outside of that there's also an indian three kingdoms period called the tripartite struggle that could be quite interesting. A game set in the gupta period where u fight off huns and kushans would also be kino.

>>543036524He's such a non-character that you can slap whatever you like on him and it will fit.
Cathay has tools for everything what a good faction
>>543036138Yeah two is the best one no doubt the whole siege and the norscan dialogue is on point. One is coming of age, three is kinda all over the place but fine ending overall.
>>543036960Yep, Cathay is genuinely great. I do sometimes get the impression that despite all of Cathay's strength, a lot of Anons have an inherent dislike of them.
Bwetonnia
>>543036524If I remember what CA said after the first (actually second) delay months ago, all three will have several unique story battles. Probably it will be a bit like Malakai's adventures. I bet he will eventually get to beat the shit out of Lokhir to get some OP items or faction bonuses, but besides that it will likely have something to do with coasts

What has the thread's reaction to the tides of torment trailer been? I've been away for a few days
>>543037236I like invading Cathay, they are fun to fight and they have lots of rich territory.
Jade Warriors are just like Hoplites but without the spears.
>>543038915my reaction is that the trailer is fine, the faction mechanics better be good
>>543027598Will come with ET, Nagash will have his mortarchs.He'll probably have a mechanic to recruit both her and Mannfred and upgrade them into the Mortarchs
>>543038078A dragonship isn't a black ark.
>>543038915The (baffling) consensus was that it was the worst trailer in the history of Total War Warhammer
>>543038778
does creamapi work still?
>Norsca got a second DLC while Counts will get nothingLet that sink in for a second.
>>543039830If that was Alberic he'd be saying "Mind your Mananners"
>>543038915It was yesterday so you can check the 2 last threads.
The last time TWW3 was good.
>>543039934Counts already got THE NECROMANCER THAT SURPASSED NAGASH!. They quite literally don't need anything else.
>>543039934some of you fags need to accept that Norsca was never the npc cinderella faction you believed it was.The amount of wailing about Norsca in the last few threads has been ridiculous.Guess what? People like Mammoths, they always did.They stopped playing Norsca when they stopped getting updates and they will start playing Norsca again as soon as the update lands.And playing with zombies is fucking boring and everyone knows that.>but nobody likes Norsca!!! Nobody cares!!!except that's not true, everyone loves Norsca
>ar says pyrric victory but I lose a unit>add banners to units>still pyrric victory but I lose two units insteadHUH
>>543039934I sitll dont see what Norsca is getting here? Its just a new legendary lord right? ANOTHER shitty fucking giant, and hopefully a fix? Idk man it seems like a shit deal, could be a free dlc.

Will CA Sofia be made to work on Medieval 3 DLC or Warhammer 40K DLC?

Medieval 3 DLC potential:Colonisation and Native American factionsEast Asian factions such as China and JapanIndian and Central Asian factionsHmmm, come to think of it. Don't be surprised if CA leaves some glaring holes in the Medieval 3 launch roster. Nobody wants to pay money to play as Vietnam or Thailand but some people might fork up cash to play as Russia and the Teutonic Order.
>>543039995Imagine checking archives like a little cuck for any reason
Three Kingdoms 2 will eventually happen.
>>543042571>Colonisation and Native American factionsdoubt it, that deservers it's onw game in pike and shot or renaissance>East Asian factions such as China and Japanyes>Indian and Central Asian factionsyes
>>543043156Medieval 2 did have some American content. I specifically remember playing the demo and bullying some furry armour people as the Spanish.
>>543043714They could have if they wanted it sure, but I still think making a renaissance game would be better for it.Asia and central asia are no brainers though, they could makea gigantic map like warhammer easily.

Okay about the two-headed giant in the trailer I know somewhere I saw someone's YouTube channel mentioned that as a possible new type of unit or hero or something that they could add and I know it was the Norscan Tribes but I don't quite remember now what was the story with that giant with two heads. Can someone give me a quick pick up and this is the first time I've been here in like 3 days and those big announcements
>>543045501Cursed Ettin
>>543045501it's a new unit. it's name is reskinned giant #45. or do you mean the lore? chaos curse for being a fucking neet while everyone else went pillaging like a normalfag

>>543045582>>543045790 Okay that was enough for me to look it up on the six-chan website are we expecting it would basically be a giant with better stats like giant Slayers are better than normal slayers? Also I heard rumors that people know who might be that legendary hero for the Vikings do we have a better idea of any new hero legendary hero or Lords units after the recent trailer?
>>543045234>POV: your mommy comes to tuck you into bed.
>>543042571You underestimate by a huge degree the amount of DLC it can run with. And overestimate what we'll get on the release. Look back at total wars and without fail the playable factions/lord count is around 8-10. It was 8 in WH3 minus Boris (4 demons + 2 cathay + 2 kislev), it was 8 in WH2, it was 8 in WH1 (minus WoC), I believe it was 10 in R2 and 3K. So look at a map of Medieval Europe circa 1060-1099 and think of 8, maybe 10, factions. Everything past that is DLC, and remember that this is a much less homogenized Europe too: It's not "France" but rather ile-de-France. I am skeptical we'd have it completely divided up, but at a minimum I'd see Flanders, Burgundy, Aquitaine, Toulouse, maybe Brittany. I'll give you a hypothetical of just how much DLC bait they can do, bearing in mind that (1) these will not generate as much sales as WH DLC but are also vastly cheaper. https://primagames.com/gaming/total-war-warhammer-qa-shares-beastmen-dlc-map-details >“The Jabberslythe alone would have been as costly as all the artwork that went into Charlemagne,”So you play a wider field more frequently at a (lol I wish) cheaper price point. I'll give you an idea of just how much DLC you can belt out in my next post
>>543046415i think i need new glasses. i read>POV: your mommy comes to fuck you into bed.
>>543046012It is Grok.
>>543046649It must be like historical Cleopatra that her sexuality was entirely her method with a personality because that doesn't scream sexy to me . I need see doesn't have the stereotypical nose you would see people's insist every Jew must have like Cleopatra does(yes I know she's not Jewish but the most accurate images of her according to the standard of accuracy are coins with big noses of her) But nothing about her screams especially I want to have sex with her especially in her chest area. I think she's an A cup.
>>543046591He is only 2500, you sick fuck!
>>543046506You'll simply have different cultures with sub-factions in them. Just like Pharaoh does it.European Catholics>England>France>HRE>ScotsEastern bullshit and Muslims>Byzantines>Ayyubid>Turks>AbbasidSlavic niggers>Poland>Novgorodand so on, then you'll get faction and regional units as well.
I wonder if the Kyivan Rus will be a day 1 faction.
as morathi is it a good idea to attack the froggo south of me?
>>543048190I left him be the whole time I went north and east, just don't accept any trade or NAP deals with the skeggi norscans
>>543048093I can see anything Slavic being a dlc
England and France are the two absolute faction guarantees for a Medieval 3.
In Rome 2, is there any reason to build recruitment buildings in minor settlements aside from making garrisoned units? Seems like you get everything and more in major settlements.
>>543048534HRE, Byzantines and some Muslims as well.
>>543048190mazdi is a buffer between you and actual strong enemies like cathay and all of lustriakeep him that way as long as you can
>>543048190Yes. You want to go there to get to green chink for his fantastic defeat trait.
>>543047672But there's a much more significant difference to be depicted within those groups than within the bronze age where we have little to no difference to distinguish between them. And while nobody would care much about an Aramaean and Elamite DLC they would about Scots or Norwegians. And it's a rejection of the chance for DLC bloat IE make CA money. There's a dizzying number of ways to hash out Medieval:1) Is it 1070 to 13th century Mongols? Is it 1070 to 1453 like M2? Is it 1070 to 1520 like Kingdoms? 2) Is it all the map you want from the get go, or is it theatres like WH1/WH2/Wh3? 3) If it's theatres is it Europe + maghreb/Levant/Anatolia for one, Middle East+India+Central Asia for 2, East Asia for 3? Or R2 Map for 1 and then Asia to Mesopotamia for 2? If you have the Americas then that's an option but they'd be cut off from the old world for however many turns. 4) if you cover a wide range of time you have to decide how you do turns per year. If it's 300 years then 2tpy = 600 turns to reach the end, nobody will play that long. If it's 1tpy it's 300 turns - again. Medieval 2 did a novel solution of >2 years per turn>but characters and seasons change like each turn is half a yearThis can result in your character living longer than you expect by chronology, but solves the issue of having a character who lives and dies way too rapidly.
>>543046252>>543045501
>>543039732Uh ok? So what?
You have until 4th December to play Norsca the way you're supposed to, before its ruined by overpowered mechanics and power-creep units.
>>543049150>20 percent off spellsthat is really good
>>543040390I like Norsca. Skinwolves are cool.I really like their roster but found them a fucking ballache to play as. Are their campaigns any better in Warhammer 3? Only played in Warhammer 2.
>>543045232They're one for Katarin made by the same person. There are others, but they're either WIP, broken or limited. Miao + Katarin + some submods is goated.
>>543050490>ballacheSignificantly better in Warhammer 3. Give it a try before >>543050151 happens
>>543050374It's the best trait in the game for caster lords.
>>543029459>Perhaps but it still nailed ToT completely.yet to see dread maws, the rest were easy guesses
>>543049368Like I am getting trouble trying to figure out how to hash it. But I'll try and simplify it down for this hypothetical. So let's say: >High medieval campaign. 1099 to 1300.>Release 1 is Western Eurasia to Baghdad + Africa>8-10 playable factions on release.1 - England2 - Ils-de-France3 - A HRE state, take your pick4 - Leon-Castile5 - Almoravids6 - Eastern Romans7 - Seljuks of Rum8 - Poland9 - Kingdom of Hungary10 - Venice or Norway or Denmark.Then DLC wise:>Holy Warriors: Sicily, Jerusalem, Papal States>Reconquista: Aragon, one of the Taifas, Portugual's pre-independent self or county of Barcelona>Steppe lords: Kiev, Novgorod, Kipchaks>Turks: Seljuk Sultanate, Mosul, Aleppo>Northern merchants: Whatever HRE state was a precursor to the Hanseatic league (with that being their special faction mechanic), Flanders, someone else>Albion: Welsh faction, Scotland, one of the Irish>Africa: Fatimids, whatever West African state was active at this time, whoever held Tunisia>Balkans: If Serbia or Bulgaria were vassalized rather than completely subjugated then have them.>Some grab-bag of Franco-Germans like Britanny, Toulouse, Provence, Aquitaine, Burgundy>Italian City States: Genoa, Milan, Tuscany, Venice if not earlier.>Northmen: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, if not one of them earlierYou can vary up those options. 1 DLC idea is "Heirs of the Caliphs" with caliphate style mechanics introduced and the factions being Abbasid, a Taifa (Umayyad), and Fatimid. Another would be to get cross appeal and have a pack that has both the Abbasid, Fatimid Caliph and Pope to introduce special Papal/Caliph mechanics.
>>543049368>1070 to 1520 like KingdomsProbably this for sure, would give them a major playground for years and years to come.

>>543056348i don't think he's died to randoms in any of my cathay campaigns
Is Cathay worth playing vanilla? I've only played them when using the NSFW Miao mod.
>>543056501He didn't, apparently. He got his ass kicked by Crooked Moon
>>543056693yeah
>>543055076Isha is the engineer of the divide between elves she favors the everqueens because they keep the divide up. Malekith rejected Khaine long ago. It's Tyrion's weakness that he submits to him. Mathlann prefers Aislinn because he doesn't burn his sacred dragonships like Lokhir does.
what exactly are dwarfs bad at? they are good at everything
>>543055778She has no choice she was bitch slapped by Asuryan and forbidden to have a real avatar. She ain't no Khaine so she seethed so long she settled for humans as proxy servants.

I'm getting a little tired of the "I spent $500 on this game" argument. Like way to out yourself as a fucking retard.

nobody said that
Norsca is bugged in WH3: can't replenish after a battle.Also, pro tip:in Norsca the stance of your army and your hero/general's mount determines your upkeep.Forced march, encampment and march all have different upkeep.Pretty crazy huh?And if you get off the Mammoth before ending the turn you don't even have to pay for it!Pröööh indeed
>>543056693I love playing as her shes so bratty
is the game's AI fixed?
I am quite curious what will become of Legends little circle jerk group after Warhammer 3 is over. Sotek will continue being a warhammer guy because he has connections but with these guys who knows. Looks like a sinking ship to me.
>>543059957>little circle jerk groupyou mean in /twg/? people usually latch on the next celeb in two weeks max
>>543046506I think you are overestimating the market for hysterical dlcs. fantasois will buy dlc of elf lord #7 because they slop up anything gw shits out, romeaboos will buy dlc for augustus or scipio or whatever because they're history that everyone learns about, but the only people who will spend money to play as the bishopric of magdeburg or the county of bordeaux are the 200th generation peasants who live there.
>>543059580I think so
>>543059503Need more bratty LLs
>>543059957Clio will sweep all of them up, if she hasn't already.

How would swarm units like Tyrranids and Orks even work in a Total Warhammer 40k game? Unless they balanced the game so 1 space marine and 1 tyranid/ork unit are balanced?
>>543059957Volound will STAND in Legend's place
>>543061768See Shaven and Greenskins in TWWH
>>543061768They won't under the current 20 unit stack conditions, you'll just get another Skaven situation where the Gaunts are tier 1 and you'll need to replace them all with Warriors and other higher biomorphs in the late game.I maintain that the best solution is for units to be in 'card packs' where groups of units are recruited together.
>>54306201220 stack system is so outdated and only works for history games where most roman legions where 20 stacks of 100 units.
Rest in pieces, knife-ear curs, your riches belong to the savage marauders of mankind, the riches of an eon of dynasties are now piled like offal before the feet of Knud Fimir-Kin. Your women and comely boys warm our bedrolls, and for all your ceremony and ancient wisdom, the savagery of the ancient north hath laid you low!RAAAH! NORSCA!!!
>>543062113I would argue it doesn't even work for historical games, as the card pack suggestion would work better there too.>current mechanics, you can really only have four hastati, four principes, and around three triarii unless you want to skimp out on cav or ranged>card pack mechanics: multiple infantry units are now counted as just one unit card, can be bought in various combinations
>>543061819Unlikely. Too many chuds in the audience of these people.

>>543063959i see beastmen finally got some mounted ungors
>>543063981nobody bothers capturing 50 additional settlements after they got bored of the campaign
>>543062113the problem with the 20 unit limit is that units are balanced around cost, not slot efficiency. theoretically you can get around it by using multiple armies, but the games aren't actually designed around that either. the only real solution is to add a gold cap to armies so the only way to get to 20 units in the first place is if you're spamming cheap garbage.
Is WH3 finally in a playable state?
Are GW crazy for allowing CA to make TW40K? Why spend a 1000 dollars to buy an army and a 1000 hours making it, when you can buy a game for 70 bucks and have access to most things (everything after DLC)
>>543064237Warhammer was the opportune spot to do something like the core/rare/special split of tabletop. It's a shame because it'd work perfectly in the game with LLs and tech twisting it. Think:>Sisters of Avelorn are normally rare, but alarielle can field them as common in her army>Orcs become a tier higher in rarity for Skarsnik but all gobbos are a tier lower>Imrik's faction has dragons being rare instead of special (if I recall right special is no more than 25% of the army, rare is no more than 50%).Just had it have been toggable at the menu like with Pharaoh's customization so if dumbasses want to just doomstack SEM they can.
How are you supposed to pronounce Aislinn?
>>543056693It can be challenging on Vh or Legendary. Double headed fuck will break down the bastion by turn 5, Chorf cunt will steam roll into Cathay soon after, Clan Eshin are pricks and if your brother doesn't do his fucking job they'll declare on you forcing you to fight two fronts with a single army (Or with an additional peasant army that will get rolled) The Caravans will all have to be manually battled or else you'll lose to much and it'll get wiped. Also theres the minor ratfag clan that will skulk about because the minor factions can't delete them.Playing as Miao is just begging to get fucked from behind while you sort out the Bastion

>>543065350on one hand, he's pathetic. he's obese and doesn't even try to take care of himself, he creates nothing of value and only regurgitates what others have created, he sits indoors most days and plays video games without contributing anything but nebulous background noise. his relationship with a gaming company is his only lifeline to the meagre relevancy he has clawed for himself which is why he defends them so hard, since when warhammer total war dies so does his "importance". on the other, he seems pretty happy, he gets to meet game devs and apparently even ex-employees like Grace seem to hang out with him without it being their job so he can't be bad company, half a dozen vtubers (probably unattractive women, but women nonetheless) seem to stream with him all the time. i don't know how he feels about his life but it sounds a hell of a lot better than his average detractor.

>>543013217I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ECELEB BULLSHIT
Who's the Norc LL?
I didn't know this dude has such a great defeat trait. Pain in the ass to fight though. Why the fuck was he level 20 on turn 19 and why are those Chorfs so fucking tanky. Thank god for Sexy Lady Gunners
Whoever implemented these non-toggleable Unusual Locations with negative effects that cost thousands of gold to remove and spawn within the first dozen turns of a campaign needs to be made accountable.
4chan forgot my picture how rude
>>543074845anyone has any input on how to beat legendary three kingdoms?
>>543077742have you tried more winning and less losing?
>>543077156why that's not even a thing yet? having veteran testers, my ass.
>>543077902i keep winning every battle till certain point but the ai ends up having 5+ doomstacks while conquering half of the map and i cant do shit then
>>543070518Which one ?

Okay I have been gone for a few months and came back because of the delay and trailer.So just to confirm China leak was real right? Because of the Preyton being added to Slaanesh roster that makes zero fucking sense. He said Beorg is Norsca's hero and Caradryan is High Elves hero.Then he said the DLCs after were Beastmen(How does that make sense when their last two tabletop units the Preyton and Slaangors are in the Slaanesh dlc?)Solo Monkey King Cathay DLC1-2 other DLCSOne other DLCThen End Times DLC with Skaven(Thanquol), Tomb Kings(Nagash), Cathay,(Didn't specify who), Empire(Valten with Middenland units), Chaos(Glotkin)Does this sound realistic? Why didn't he mention Neferata DLC? I thought the Preyton thing made zero fucking sense especially since he said right afterward Beastmen would get another DLC with Moonclaw which makes zero sense if Preyton is in the Slaanesh DLC.I did see the "D" discord leak where there is a guy doubling down saying Korhil is the hero of the DLC and not Caradryan. Who claims after Neferata's DLC there is going to be Dogs of War FLC, a Li Dao solo DLC with Monkey King as hero and Yin-Yin as FLC LL. Then a final DLC with Valten, Crom, Thanquol, and Nagash.Which one is correct? I know CA officially announced the Neferata DLC when they announced Aislinn was 3rd lord for Slaanesh but I left until today when I came back to look up stuff. Also why didn't they show any legendary heroes in the trailer or the Slaanesh FLC LL?What else have I missed?
>>543079463Turns out I like Tomb Kings, but I don't care for CAs tomb kings. Also some of the rigging has some jank that bugged me; thighs and shoulders connected to the opposite side, neck gaps.
>play atilla>WRE>have most of my armies defending my borders>have one punitive death stack going around and attacking the home bases of my enemies>most are 1 province shits, subjugate each one>their armies hang out in my lands fighting rebels for me>feel like I have a winning formula>turn 5>another tribe declares war on me>do NOT call allies to help >vassals refuse to join my side because I guess they just join automatically, at war with them all over again>only ones that stay loyal are the quadiansWhy the fuck does it work like this, why do vassals even have the option of betraying you? The way the AI works they're basically just shitty military alliances that betray you instantly every time
>>543072975>>543073184terminal shit taste
>>543080793>Also why didn't they show any legendary heroes in the trailer or the Slaanesh FLC LL?To be fair, the trailer is pretty bad at showcasing the new units, and with the 2 months delay, we can safely assume the trailer has been rushed.
>>543081087i want the conehead with thishttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2858045087
>>543080885Unironically, just get some mods. Attila is riddled with that kind of bullshit from the units' upgrade path, corruption, climate, political loyalty, and AI agents spam.
>>543081235Its not true though, you can see the Masque in the trailer
I was pretty sure Aislinn was going to start in the high elves eastern colonies island but since they are moving Wulfrik out of Norsca maybe Aislinn is actually going to start in Norsca
>>543081490>you can see the Masque in the trailerWhen?
>>543080793>>543081490
>>543081490Just because I can see a glimpse of her doesn't mean it's good. I mean, I know that it's probably that 1 guy being told to take overtime because their management has messed up again, but they can give her a longer appearance.
>>543081759Oh also a lot people are saying the Slaaneshi guy on the right (with the banner on his back) is Strykaar (as LH).
I like they use a generic model for AIslinn because he is a literal no name like Helman Ghorst that doesn't even have art and got picked over a few missing major lore characters with actual; tabletop miniatures.
>>543081759If I'm someone who has no idea about that faction, how am I supposed to know that was an FLC LL? Let's admit it, the trailer is pretty poor, Lokhir is cool and all, but why did he get a longer screentime than the actual DLC Lord?

>>543080270What's up with indians being so devoted to Nurgle? They're making Festus look bad.
>>543081894Banners! What a concept...
>>543082625arbaal has it, though
I lost as Cathay. VH/VH. Fucking Chorf guy and Double head fielding 4 armies each, then Clan Eshin remembered I existed and came to fuck me over. Fucking christ this is brutal
>>543027942god himself walled off the indian subcontinent with mountains but the bongs not only forced them to learn english but shipped them around the world to create manmade horrors beyond your comprehension in the current daygreatest crime against humanity ever performedwhat is happening in the uk to bongs is not even 1% of what they deserve
When did the Lizardmen and Tomb King AI recruitment become broken? Patch 6.3? Guessing so as that's the patch that changed/buffed both quite a bit.
guys, i swear i just saw the changeling move
>>543077742>pick cao cao 190>go south>capture lands with rice paddies>build overpowered global replenishment bonus farm>can now spawn full health armies in a single turnalternatively you can just play as the emperor where you can win in 20-30 turns because the yellow turbans got powercrept hard and cant do shit
>>543083010There needs to be a study done on how badly indians mindbroke chuds on 4chan
I don't think they will ever stop pumping out dlc for this game, especially if the new historical or fantasy game bombs.
>>543080885why would you ever make any military treaties in any total war game knowing the absolute state of this game series?
>>543084456He was just standing in the open raiding nordland and by turn 90 I just put him out of his misery

I'm still new but basically undivided WoC gets most of the fun stuff from the monogods outside of some of the heroes/lords and the unique mechanics to each monogod?
the west has fallen
>>543089008Yeah, Beastmen always steal some stuff tooI think you need the DLC to actually recruit any new units they get though

How often should you do a Blood Voyage as
>>543093256I used it once at endgame just to get an army to deal with a rogue army
>>543093315But you cant control them
You can point them at things with the vassal controls and they'll get around to it eventually
>>543093670Are you talking about CA?
Pajama Men (armoured)
>>543093997No I forgot to reply to >>543093345 but if I'm not talking about CA because they don't get around to it eventually
>>543093090Maybe Warhammer 2 would be the thing for you

>>543093090play god of war (2018 and ragnarok)
>>543096768gay
Ugskab killed billions
>>543029459There's no Dreadmaw and a lot of it was predictable, so nope. Unless I see the Dreadmaw, I will still think it's false. How did Bong CA even conduct an offline interview in China with nobody recording? It makes zero sense
>>543093670I really wish vassal controls actually allowed me to straight-up tell one 'just turtle on your own territory'
Could ancient cataphracts beat early medieval knights?
Lizardmen kinda dominated too much now, ya know...
I feel like playing Rome: Total War but my CD is probably at my mom's place and CA refuses to sell me the original game.I am literally being forced to pirate the game.
>>543098401CA needs to do 6.3.4 hotfix now!
>>543008367>Trust a E-Beggar words
>>543098149No easy good answer to it. I've heard some people posit that before stirrups and the practice of couched lances (They had stirrups for a long time but didn't couch it) you had nothing more than the movement of your arms and incidental momentum of the horse behind the thrust. I know a frequent remark about Arab cavalry circa the crusades was they 'fenced' with their lances. It'd be nice to have an experiment if we had mythbusters still of how much force is behind a thrusting lance on horseback with some momentum versus a couched lance.In the Gestae Francorum the Frankish chronicler mentions Agulani (likely a lost in translation of Ghulam) which were treated as a specific national group but were described as fully armored men and rider who fought only with swords.
>>543099305> before stirrups and the practice of couched lances (They had stirrups for a long time but didn't couch it) you had nothing more than the movement of your arms and incidental momentum of the horse behind the thrustSo that settles it then, knights win due to physics
>>543098149Didn't they have bronze spears? Bronze wouldn't be able to pierce steel armor that well.
anyone remember the name of the mod that keeps corpses around on the battlefield? Did I just imagine that was a mod.
>>543098018You can sort of by forcing armies to defend their specified settlements with alliance points but I don't know what impulse makes them walk away from defending their own settlement from time to time after the order is issued
How strong will he be as a legendary lord in medieval 3?
Sotek was right
>>543101181... about being wrong
Is the AI hardcoded or can it be fixed through modding?
>>543101370Considering the amount of "AI fixes" that didn't work, probably the former.
>>543099623they had iron
Theres so much awesome mods held back by generic VA
>annihilating Morathi with my bored Dwarven doomstack>Tyrion declares ware on my Lizardbro Mazda>Burn down Lothern on my way home to Southern Lustrialollmao
>>543101762i still don't know why modders don't use AI to generate voicelines yet
Slaanesh is already the strongest faction in battles, how fucking broken is it going to be after the dlc? What kind of units are they adding?
For the statistically inclined. Steam achievement data. I see some arguments about which races are the most popular and I was curious. This is obviously far from perfect since it doesn't track repeat campaigns (I personally have played most races just once for the cheevo, but some (High Elves) multiple times), but it's something. Some of it's obviously true like Norsca being dead last and not even by that small a margin.Thoughts? I'm surprised Nurgle's that high, and Vampire Counts that low. You'd think Greenskins would be higher too. Beastmen are underrated, I enjoyed that campaign a lot more than I thought I would.
>>543102215An OC monster unit that sends in many of it's tentacles and creates a chain reaction on a unit to paralyze all the soldiers on that unit.
>>543102021"AI is le bad".Also the modding cliques are gatekeeping the Audio modding software hard.
reminder that we wont get nagash, thanquol or neferata as they're AoS models now (even if the models were designed for end times)>b-but what about mannfred and arkhan? they share the same kit with neferatathey had older models that werent ported to AoS and/or they were added before a GW policy changewhy do you think the masque is based off of the resin model, and not the newer plastic one? because the plastic one is an AoS modeltheres so much shit they could add to TWW but wont because GW are retardsi'm still waiting on kurnoth hunters and araloth for wood elves
>>543102392>High Elves that high despite being so outdatedNo wonder CA wanted to give them a DLC, it's money on the table
>>543029459thats like you predicting the color of the sky tomorrow, its not hard to guess what the color is
>>543102515>b-b-but what about the designs of some daemons?alroght you got me there, I can only assume its policy change
>>543102564If anything, it proves High Elves didnt need an update because HElf players didnt mind playing an outdated race, not to mention a race that already is baby easy mode for every campaign besides Teclis who is just doomed to fail
>>543102392I don't think people care to get "victory" pop up in Total War and Paradox GSGsI don't and have thousands of hours in those games. I'm only certain of getting victory as Julii in Rome1, Isengard in MOS and maybe some accidental wins in TWW. Because that's only how I ever get them, by an accident.
>>543102392VCs are still a game one race, they're hilariously outdated.

>>543069727>you would be surprised by the amount of ugly bastard enjoyers in the woman populationIt's the smile, they tell me.
>>543103538The smile is not exclusive to UB. It's used for cucking in general.It's the cucking equivalent of >he doesn't know
Vamp Counts or Skaven for the 'summon shit in the backline to stop me being raped by their ranged' plan
>>543102489>Also the modding cliques are gatekeeping the Audio modding software hard.are they stupid? or trying to make money
>>543102515Manfred and Arkhan use their AoS designs.
>>543104136skaven so you don't have to give a shit about friendly fire
>>543105759I thought guns were still bugged so they don't shoot through your own unitsq
>>543108070Gun units in WH3 tend to have problems with LoS compared to WH2.
haha remember when my boring generic elf did a badass face and decided not to die and then did a marvel pose with le epic beast haha
>>543108769>tend to have problemsMore problems?
>>543109149Aside from the usual not shooting because of obstruction, ranged units in general are less responsive, and your unit can forget its own order and just stop shooting. The latter is just your units in general, including single entities.
>>543108849cant believe the sky cutter was the best part of the trailerwhat a pile of SHIT
>>543081883>Just because I can see a glimpse of her doesn't mean it's good.anon, she is literally just n'kari with hair and a smaller frame.
i liked it when lokhir skewered the male person
>>543109432Just fix it yourself if TCLAP refuses to do it.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3082390369
>>543101370Its hardcoded but there are a lot of parameters you can tune in the database.
>>543110034She literally just shows up out of nowhere, and that's it. Is that how you get people hyped for your new DLC? The trailer is pretty much rushed, just like how their blog didn't have any screenshots of the new mechanics, release in October, my ass.
I liked it when lokhir had gay sex
>>543110498>cheats
haha remember when reddit trailer for onions races haha
>>543110498At this point, why do we even need CA to provide more content and fix?
>>543110728I don't. That's why I don't give a fuck about the delay(s).
at this point if the DLC doesn't permanently add 500ml to my average ejaculate I am NOT going to buy it. and that's saying something since the high elves are my favourite faction
>>543110498>Just fix it yourself if TCLAP refuses to do it.someone even fixed the ambush bug for tw2 now
