40k is coming
My uncle works for CA and he leaked me a map of the next game.
Campaign mechanics wise, Slaanesh is right now the weakest of the 4 chaos factions because it heavily plays on vassalising and vassals suck.
>>543494792They can’t even finish a lord pack and you expect them to get a new, wildly different game done?
People are more excited for 40k than another slop dlc that took a year too long to make
>>543494371Rings of Power is the most succesful Amazon show of all time, a critical darling and beloved by regular audiences. The actors do a masterful job of immersing you in the magical world of J.R.R. Tolkien, add the top notch writing, set design, costumes, music... What's not to adore from this modern marvel?
>>543495523Who and where are these "people", anon?
Cathay isn't a real factionIt's characters have no real historyThey are totally unimportant to WHFB, they didn't even really exist for all of WHFB besides being distant background fluff
So Bretonnia should have longbowmen, herrimaults, holy water globadiers, giant snails, mobile castles, naiads, lake lions, lost sons, friars, sergeant at arms, questing beasts... anything else?
>>543495854A hot female LL.
>>543495795They were always responsible for holding back the major bulk of the Warriors of Chaos though
>>543495854peasant bowmen should have stakes
>>543495483Because they already said they're making new games, retard.>Wildly different They literally have the rigs for any of the game 1 races.
>>543495415its good for allied recruitment though. Forcing factions to vassalize is a good way to access units you otherwise wouldn't be able to with the normal chaos faction allies. It should work on every race though. There is literally no reason why I should be able to seduce Mazdamundi if I want to with all the other lore breaking features they added.Devotee armies need some work imo, they are strong but boring and maybe five them a chance to rebel kind of like Loyalty if you don't get enough kills with them or something.
>>543495909She's already in the OP
Is it considered cheating on Vlad if Isabella sucks the blood of many other young men?
It's over.
>>543495958Wrong
>>543496673Only if it's from the neck. Why do you think she always carries a cup around with her?
I want a 40k game just to be able to customize the loadout of my units (if the rumors are true).That shit will amp up the replayability like no tomorrow.
>>543495795Cathay is the most important faction in WHFB actually. Haven't you read their lore?
>>543496697Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it never happened
>>543494650already did it was pretty good
>>543497029Cathay is background fluffNo they did not stop the bulk of chaos, ping pong
cathay invented gunpowder before the dwarfs and was doing magic before the elves
>cathay invented gunpowder before the dwarfs and was doing magic before the elves
>>543495795Sure but I don't mind. Been enjoying my current Yuan Bo campaign fine enough.
>>543497016>That shit will amp up the replayability like no tomorrowNot really. Too many games these days favor ""customization"" over soul and in depth game mechanics. Fun at first but with diminishing returns on repeat playthroughs over a well-crafted experience.But, we can't really expect wh40k to be very good anyways so maybe it needs a gimmick like customization options to be worth playing in the first place, who knows.
I can't wait to see 40k run at 30fps (with frame gen) on a $5000 computer.
>>543497016>runs legendary space lord in a circle as laser beams miss him
Total War: Street Fighter 2
>>543497570>"customization"" over soul and in depth game mechanics. Fun at first but with diminishing returns on repeat playthroughs over a well-crafted experience.You said a lot with no real meaning behind it. Wargear is core to 40k, being able to gear your soldiers to tackle specific scenarios is peak replayability.
Reminder that caledor, a gifted but mortal elven mage was on the level of grimni, the manlets god of whatever. Now imagine how powerful elven gods must've been.
>>543498140Who cares? They're all weaker than any of the Celestial Emperor's children.
>>543497993a regular dude could pick up a sword and shield or maybe even a spear yet we have>spearmanii>spearmanii shield>swordmanii>swordmanii shield
>>543497570Total War works better as a sandbox, CA doesn't know how to do "well-ctafted" campaigns. This works for both historical or fantasy settings, just give more power to the player to play their way and be done with it.
>>543497993Depends on how they do it I suppose. Swapping weapon types is fine but the leaks make it out to to be like a custom faction from the ground up which is just retarded.
>>543498478The custom faction shit is optional though, as said in the rumors.
>>543497430cathay should have gone full cultivation autism
>>543498268The celestial who? Never heard of him
>>543498417you say this when the most successful games have a climate mechanic punishing you for doing anything not "intended"
>>543498640Its still going to eat up resources and dev time. Imagine CA trying to make all that work. Everything else will be shallower as a result. I have foreseen it.
>>543498747and it's why teclis campaign will remain bricked even after his reworkyou just have to kill kairos at some point but that's all red territory
>>543498747And? How is that "well-crafted"? That's exactly my point, just make it as sandboxy as possible.
>>543498886Daniel exists. Eating up resources... Is what new games do, no really.
>>543498919im saying them doing sandbox is also complete dogshit
>>543499075I hope you're trolling. Using the Daemon Prince as an example of why its ok is hilarious.
You're not getting a Total War game where people fight in squads and all have automatic weapons, it wouldn't even be Total War anymore
>>543499362>Using a example of shit they already made is badAt least I have concrete examples.
ENTERBRETONNIANCHAD
>>543499672Tell that to rattling gunners.
Legend of Total War here
>>543499886A unique unit that stands out from the restYou're not having a TW where everyone shoots like that
If 40k releases as a good game, will the doubters apologize to CA?
It's time for Bearmen!
>>543500113Meant to reply to >>543499864
I think I identified why TW3 just kind of sucks compared to other total wars... It's the lack of enemies attacking you in the open. In TW3, the AI does everything in its power to avoid your army and skirt around to back-cap your provinces making every battle whack-a-mole and either a settlement or siege battle. Not fun.
>>543500414we need wh2 ai schizophrenia back like those times when boris todbringer would just declare war on you and force march to altdorf at the same time vlad is invading his territories
>>543500205yes and I'll suck their dicks while I do a little come hither action in their asses too
>>543500261>Unique unitPlay the game
news i guess
>>543500414Agreed, its a big issue. And then you have unironic drones in the thread going "just use ambush stance brooooo" like everyone wants to play fucking skaven or skarsnik
>>543501063don't forget those "just use a weaker army so they come to you bro" faggots
>>543500414in wh3 you have 2 optionsfirst is to sit in ambush chance and hope the ai does not spot youthe second is playing an intentionally weak army so the ai comes to you since they win autoresolveboth lead to incredibly tiresome gameplay
Automatic weapons in 40k are the same as a basic ass sword in Fantasy.Melee will still be prevalent and strong and only hight tier ranges will be any good.I can see early fights to have some kind of ranged peppering before inevitably clashing, the archers will be dedicated snipers and scouts from each faction.
>>543500935STOP CALLING THEM HOTFIXES YOU FUCKERS
I fully agree that CA should fix their fucking game, but wouldnt an autoresolve mod that heavily favors the ai fix the cowardice?
>>543501243But they ARE hotHot steaming piles of garbage
>>543501243>hotfix>comms>publishSounds impressive, I can't wait!
>>543501319idk even with legendary difficulty buffs to AI auto resolve they are still cowards
Here's our new hotfix to fix a four month old bug.Please continue enjoying Total War.

>we are releasing another hotfix for hotfix that we hotfixed after updating the hotfix Jesus christ, you would think that after 10 years of reusing the same old engine from rome 2 TCAL would have mastered it by now and have a streamlined guide for devs to use
>"Its over, Arkhan!"How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>543501319the ai also needs to fight eachother so i doubt that will help all that muchin fact it would probably create the hellish experience of wh3 release where the ai ignores everything but suiciding into the player no matter what
reminder that most players go from settlement to settlement and autoresolve every battlepassive AI was intended behavior to make it feel more challengingCA gave players what they wanted and you are all being ungrateful

I'm watching 1-2 year old legendoftotalwar youtube videos of full campaigns on max difficultywhy does the enemy ai armies just stand still in battle and wait for you to fuck them over with spells and then send half of their forces towards your lord and the other half rushing towards archers to get melted instantly?

>>543524480Looks like I had 133 mods last timeI almost only play on The Old World ever since it came out. Only exception was Gelt campaign in Cathay where I conquered and vassalized entire chinkland, immediately betraying and killing ZhaoFor this reason I had to drop some mods since they weren't compatible with TOWOverall I'm bloatmaxing and using as much unit, subfaction and faction mods as possible, unless they really annoy me with donut steelismThe other type of mods are balance related like tabletop caps and buffing enemy AI by giving them more cheats. I have to tailor every single campaign with Unnatural Selection by buffing my enemies and weakening allies every time I play, which takes a whileI desperately try to make some mechanics matter, like attrition and public order. What they did to Corruption in TWW3 especially pisses me off, it's basically irrelevant and you can Corrupt and Decorrupt provinces waaay to fast now. I remember using some janky autism mod in TWW2 which added population and shit like this to the game and I think it was made by one of the anons from hereI have zero care for CA vision of the game and maintaining vanilla feel and I wish they stopped updating it and making dlcs. It pisses me off to no end that I have to wait for modders to update their shit and then have to remake modlist every fucking time they update it and have toI want CA to fuck off already

>>543533994Kairos has one of the most boring starting positions. the changeling is boring as all hell. I would say that from all the chaos gods the list goes like.N'kariTamurkhanKugathKairosa montain of shitchangelingI've never played a khorne campaign. the closest I was to playing one was when I started a Valkya campaign that I dropped after 10 turns. Turns out I love playing warrios of chaos, so I figured that if playing a khorne flavored one was that boring, playing an actual campaign would be way worse. It doesn't help that everyone agrees khorne is OP as fuck, meaning it's even more boring that I thought.
>>543534708I'm not pigging up 60 euros for the same goddamn game a third ti- wait a minute

>>543535887why is she looking at me like that
>>543535643the problem with khorne conceptually is that they need to be OP to make up for the fact that they don't do anything unique, since "good at melee" is something that a lot of factions do in addition to something elsetheir units look cool at least

What happene to the ratfags, why did they decide to stop posting?
>>543538671they got banned for posting furry porn
>>543538924sounds like something a snitch would say
>>543494792I honestly don't know why anyone would want 40K in the Total War engine. Combat in 40K isn't rank and file, and close combat doesn't depend on ranks of soldiers blocking off other blocks of soldiers, and trying to get rear charges in for morale effects.It's the wrong game engine for a 40K game, it doesn't even make much sense for an Epic 40k scales game, although the parallels there (at least for the older Epic games) are closer. I wish people would stop asking for it. Give me a revamped Napoleon or Empire or something instead.

>>543542219I want1. 40k deniers to get butthurt2. 40k fans to get butthurt with paid day 1 spess marine dlcIt would make me laugh for days.

>>543528994idk but if you want grindfest combat, play VCounts
>>543542346They said they aren't doing those DLC anymore, but I wouldn't mind seeing muhreenfags getting fucked.
>>543542219I just want Epic scale 40K (modernized Final Liberation) in a completely different game engine. CA getting 40K license would mean that the chance of that happening would be lower.
>>543542346Marine players are always butthurt, they have no other emotions.
>>543502981>a new DLC! bretonnia, vampire counts, tomb kings!We need a snappy name for the DLC.
40keks no proofSAD
>>543540705Right? Just look at how well Warhammer and Three Kingdoms sold compared to all the historical titles. Fantasy settings are here to stay.
What year will support for Warhammer 3 come to an end?
>>543543485The Baron and the Bones
>>543540305Why do people act retarded about this? 40k just doesn't fit the Total War formula, its not some matter of opinon. Total War just starts to fall apart when you introduce automatic weaponry. Its not even something specifically to do with 40k
>>5435436052027 (2026 and 2027 will only have one DLC each)
>>5435436052025 hopefully.
>>543543783I think that we will get more DLCs now that CA is dipping their toes into single lord DLCs.If Neferata sells well then I almost guarantee that more will follow.
Does the AI even have a real economy or recruitment limits? I don't understand how they could keep pumping out, much less support multiple 20 stacks with just 1 province left. They're only tier 1s and 2s, but it's still absurd.
>>543540305We already know they're having problems with the aging devtools and code from the current problems they've been plagued with since the start of WH3, imagine what it would be like trying to get the aging game engine to do something it was fundamentally not designed for.
>>543543873Don't be like that. Warhammer 3 still has a bright future ahead of itself.
>>543543738You mother also said it wouldn't fit, well... Look at her now...
>>543544157not really no
>>543544157They don't pay the same upkeep as the player but they do have a limit. You can bankrupt ai, or it can do it without help from time to time.
>>543544165Oh yes, cant wait for....err....Ind and fantasy Japan to be added.
>>543544165We're all gonna make it

>>543544480From left to right:Amazons: Not likelyThanquol: YesKhuresh: Not as a full race but they might get some Dechala reskinsDogs of War: Probably not a race but definitely lots of unitsInd: The region will be opened up but probably no unitsPygmies: Not likelyNippon: Not likely
>>543544480Reminder that Thanquol was confirmed by the leaker that confirmed the Preyton for Slaanesh. His info is 100% factual. He is finally gonna make it after all these long years.
>>543536793Khorne just isn't fun for that reason. In sci-fi he can work better because you have more ranged options (Presumably, I don't know what the world eater army list is) so there's a little more to do than just march forward and mulch. I love khorne shit as WoC, but I dont' see a reason to play as it. >Nurgle vs UndividedMajor plague focus>Tzeentch vs undividedTzeentch magic, magical units>Slaanesh vs undividedWe'll see how it is with Tot>Khorne vs undividedLots more angry red melee guys wow >>543534741I'm hoping for that traitor guy for Tzeentch for a more fun experience. I kinda wish the blue scribes had been the LL instead of the changeling. The changeling's concept is novel but it's just too sandbox not even the illusion of danger.>>543542346It'll be smurfs as the initial playables, but if they had it where no space marine faction was a playable faction instead you had to play as Imperium lords with space marines being troops you recruit, that'd be funny.
>>543544869>Thanquol: Yes-yesFTFY
>>543544759in other total wars units just get damaged when you run into them
>>543545320When Thanquol is added and CA moves on to 40K, /twg/ will miss that autistic ritual poster
>>543545320Whay else was the Preyton leak right about because the Preyton was like on everybody's "never ever happening," lo and behold it is coming for Slaanesh and probably Beastmen
>>543545562The vacancy will be filled very quickly, I assure you.
>>543540658>realisticallyThe simultaneously worst and funniest one is unrealisticBut the worst realistic setting? Maybe Redwall since it'd instantly get /twg/ banished to /trash/
>>543545740Nagash ritual poster?

>>543533539>>543534741i just played a kairos campaign and been posting my screenshots for the last few threadsdesu the beginning was absolute shit, completing your first province points you in exactly the wrong direction up against that slaanesh faction while oxyotl is making his way from the other sideit's just a waste of time going back to fight oxyotl whether you go for him first or fight the slaanesh guys and then come backyour early economy is shit since it relies on all the income stacking buff buildings to get moneywhich takes a while to really take off and your units are pricyi was only able to power through because i took over teclis starting province after i finished the south pole and just fought like a 15 or 20 turn bite and hold action against non stop wurzzag waagh armies which netted me a ton of money to build up and get more stacksafter being pretty built up and wiping out wurrzag, it then became super smooth sailing form there and abusing changing of waysthere just needs to be a better start position hopefully with egrimm

Total War Halo
>>543540658I'd get extremely depressed if we got fucking Game of Thrones.
>>543540658This was the survey around 2 years ago they supposedly put out. "Realistic chance of doing it fantasy setting" - Marvel would be pretty awful. I'd prefer Age of Sigmar to it. Warcraft also. People crow about wanting a warcraft total war but they imagine circa 2003 Frozen throne warcraft, not the godforsaken sparkledog faggotry of the present.Aside of the faggotry of that D&D beholder picture making the rounds the 'concept' of a BG3 style faerun total war appeals to me in letting you make your own legendary lord and a bit of build your own army to it. But it'd also be modern D&D so yeehhhhch
>>543546908the tcaluk made halo wars 2 which was actually fairly decent and served as the base for the new enemy faction in halo infinite but it also killed the halo wars franchise
>>543540658AoS would make me laugh so hard, I would be shitting on it for fun here for years. About how Fantasy died AGAIN to give place to it lol.

>>543540658TWW AOS
>>543547326theres an RTS coming
>>543546982>>543547151Interestingly enough AoS isn't even a possibility for SEGA, and they put fucking Marvel in there.
>>543547379>every faction lives on a different serverwhat's the point
>>543547162I have to assume there's a single boomer that pitched that into the poll as a joke, because that shit makes no fucking sense, CA seems to hate naval combat and space battles in vidya are just WW2 naval battles in space
>>543547326Isn't like 2 new shows coming in 2026 ?

>>543548143Roger Roger, TA-143, do we just stand by and watch?
>>543548143Star wars would be fine if Disney wasn't involved. You just know they'll push for their shitty new movies era.
>>543548143If they included naval battles and clone wars era I would be pretty excited for it.
>>543546084I am actually thinking that Nagash and Thanquol will both be released on the same day. Probably some kind of Medieval 3 or 40K poster will follow.
Total War: Elder Scrolls will be next. It'll tie in with TES6.
>>543548143SW demands naval battles way more than 40k does, I don't know if CA would be willing to put effort in it, also clone wars or fuck off.In a perfect world with actual effort put into it? I'd love it.
>>543549768Honestly it's stupid in a way that makes sense for CA to do a naval-only total war. Now I don't think they'd do that for 40k but it'd be such a hilarious monkey's paw - the solution to interstellar empires and warfare is to just ignore the planetary combat and instead focus on spaceship vs spaceship.
>>543550075lokhir is the coolest damn druchii bros
My god, why are Dark Elf Bolt Throwers so absolutely dire? Mines been plinking away at a skeleton gunnery mob for the last few minutes to little effect.
>>543550839All pre-game 3 Artillery is horribly out of date
>>543549768We would be getting the current setting, which is if I'm not mistaken post episode 6. Enjoy the perfectly modeled Mandalorian promoted (but not voiced because that would be too expensive) by Pedro himself, and all sort of vapid slop content like this. Best case scenario we get a post episode 3 movie with early Darth Vader which of course would say he hates sand and all of that.
>>543550839switch to the multi shot modethey are actually fairly decent against infantry blobs and somehow better than the single shot against towersit's the single shot one that is absolutely shit
>>543550839You need like five of them constantly raining death on your enemies to work properly. It has always been like this. In wh2 you would always get by getting like 6 of those bad boys and just pound your enemies while making a semi noob box with your spears, all of this while your sharts did their thing too of course.
>>543550075
>>543551340lokhir is the better simply because he does not have a cone helmet
>>543550971Hellstorms are still one of the best infantry killersGreat canons, dorf canons are great anti-large

>>543553040oh yeah....
>>543553057concerns that need engagement clicks to be heard are not worth my time
>>543553057video is too annoying to listen to sum it up for me
>>543551046Really, just leave it on multi-shot even for single target?
>>543553810no use single shot for counter battery and shooting monsters
>>543550291The difference is that 40k main game is a wargame based on ground combat, naval combar is a side game.In SW naval combat is more than half of it's stuff.
>>543553057TRVKE!
>>543553057not watching that slop, but the endgame sucks regardless of who you're playing in wh3
Speaking of Lokhir, at the start of his campaign is it worth sending out a hero to go and get you communications with the other Dark Elf factions get some trade and reputation going? You're somewhat out on your own for a long time otherwise.
>>543554686what else are you gonna use khainite assassins for lol
>>543554686nah fuck those guysyou get all the gold you need from sacking and raiding
>>543553057I unsubbed because those AI slop thumbnails irk me.
>>543554686if you do that quest before the karond kar npc faction dies off you get to confed them and get in contact with the other druchii
ayo wood elf raze rewards kinda juicy
>>543554686It's definitely not efficient but you can do it, will obviously affect what you try to do diplomacy wise which can matter a lot. Lizards and chorfs are nightmares to deal with if you don't out-maneuver them/capture bastion walls
>belakor can recruit human lords with his corruption mechanicwow thats coo->only words on non legendaries and turns them into basic bitch demons
>>543498665Can’t, elves already stole that trope in the sequel.
So, these Black Arks, even though I have one and it has an admiral and a few units, he cant leave the boat and come and do something on land? Whats the units for then? Self defense? Its like a Horde but only stuck in the water...?
>>543557468Druchii only have local recruitment, black arks are for sacking the world's ports a gorillion miles away and recouping the losses easily
Kraken Kar of Lord Karond
>>543557468they are your recruitment hubs, they give a bunch of bonuses in a circle around them, you can take port settlements with them, its basically a water city
>>543557468Black arks let your other armies recruit from themKilling enemy ships and taking ports is still useful, a black ark army has half the upkeep of a regular army
Kwaken Lowd of Kawand Kaw :3
>>543557468You can attack port city with the Black Ark army.You can "deliver"units to another army.You don't have garrison to protect the Black Ark
>>543557976Rat ogres
>>543557681>>543557734>>543557743>>543558264Ah, thank you. So its only really the Admiral thats "stuck" on it, the units can be traded off to someone else, or used to wreck some garrison only ports and while they reside on it they only cost half the regular price?
>>543547472Racial segregation is based actually
>>543546860I just play a faction from a race I haven't played for months.
>>543559076Segregation is not enough, everyone should be pushing into each other's territories to segregate the others even harder

Hmm, how do you get rid of corruption as Dark Elves? I'm using SFO, but I dont seem to have any buildings or any commandments that let you drive it down faster?

See these settlement battles and sieges that now let you build shit yourself, is there any stuff that is just pure shite that you shouldn't bother with?
>the game design truly make it feel like if you’re not continuously expanding in one direction you’re falling behind. >The consolidation, reinforcing smaller settlements etc definitely felt more natural in older games Is this true anons?Read this on a r*dd*t thread about TWW3.
>>543572448Go back
>>543572119yeah as far as barricades go you should only ever build the most expensive one since it doesn't cost that much and is much better, for towers the more expensive the better but bear in mind that it takes 90 seconds to upgrade them so it's not always worth changing mid-battle
>>543572119Yes, sieges
If you could only pick one of these three to be added before Warhammer 3 gets canned, which would it be?1) Nagash and an endgame crisis associated with him2) End Times content, including alternate endings3) Siege rework that actually makes sieges genuinely fun with unique maps
>>543574386the third one, obviouslythey don't even need to be good they just need to not suck
>>543573438Wait, you can build more shit during the battle? I never noticed.
>>543574386A Nagash end times event competing with a chaos end times event that the ordertide has to fight against.
>>543573630Sure but sometimes the auto resolve just wants to be a complete dick you know?
>>543575152yeah you can build in new spots as well as upgrade buildings, but you can't rebuild it if it's destroyedyou gain points over time so sometimes you need to build mid battle to get something
Controversial opinion: I enjoy Rome 2
>>543576997Proud of you
>>543572448The older games were just better because they were battle simulators that understood that the main role of the campaign map is to generate fun and memorable battles. The AI would sometimes be slightly stupid in its agression if it would make for a fun giant battle. The newer games are more like a dumbed down Civ where the AI plays like they're in a sort of pseudo 'boardgame'.
>>543576997same desu
>>543547643Correlation not causation, but still true
>>543576997Not controversial and also you're correct
>>543578268Crassus...
>>543574386A successful siege rework, because proving they can actually do it means there's a slim hope the next game's sieges won't be ass.
>>543572119Generally blockers are the best to route enemy traffic to killbox chokepointsI have found situational uses for the buff stones and platforms if they jive with my army compositionTowers are pretty much there to make the timer run out for the enemy army to make their move to cap or not; like other anon said the better ones are generally good other than the fact that sometimes the tier 3 higher ones have a chance to friendly fire your defenders because the turret towers don't care about checking for friendly fire like anything else, and yes remember to use your continually replenishing points to continue building shit to slow down enemies
Vampire Counts get a barricade that provides regeneration to nearby units.
>>543572448Yes, absolutely.In most older games after taking a single settlement you then had to actually hold and defend that settlement from inevitable counterattacks and instability. You might need to split your army and leave an occupying force to maintain public order. You might have several armies and dozens of split-off policing groups.When you finished a war it was always a moment of breather where you could reconsolidate, disband some of those expensive units you had to raise to win the war, and focus on stabilizing public order in all your new settlements and making them productive before the next attack comes.A lot of that is just absent from the newer games. The systems that used to slow you down or pull your limited resources in different directions are absent so instead you just grab your doomstack and keep pressing forward until you run out of enemies to kill.
>>543572448You have no fucking idea how much I miss being able to just put units into fucking cities without needing a general to lead them
legendary lord defeat traits were a mistake
>>543579856It was also a lot of fun being able to bribe these guys over

>>543580063I have nightmares about endless Egyptian doomstacks in Rome 1 and how I beat them eventually by just bribing and then suicide rushing their bribed armies back at them

Lorewise, what happens if order factions conquer the north and south poles? What's the endgame?
Can Durthru confederate Drycha, or is it only the other way around?
What's the secret to naval battles in Rome 2? It seems like the only ships worth using are heavy assault ships with some artillery for sieges, but at the same time they will sometimes just sink before you have a chance to ram the enemy ships.
>>543582131All I remember was doing exactly this with opposition party members since the AI can't make navies that are dangerous in any game; even if your shit sinks there is almost never a dire need to have the navy ready to go at the next moment
>>543579856Settlements pulling a free army out of thin air instead of forcing you to commit armies to garrison was the beginning of the end of this franchise.The worst part is that we know now this change was motivated by the fact that somewhere along the line they broke the AI and made it obsessively tunnel-vision undefended settlements, and since they fired or chased away everyone that could work on the AI they had to just give every settlement a free army instead.
>>543579552Now are you thinking of that with R2, pharaoh, troy ect and warhammer, or just warhammer? Because Warhammer really is singular in having hyperemphasized the mindless conquest. Which is due to the game over-emphasizing the battlemap and under-emphasizing the campaign map. I can't say WH is the worst campaign experience because the novelty of unique faction campaign mechanics is cool - the problem is the underlying system is braindead. The chorfs are the closest to actually being engaging.

nobody talks to the tricksiest gobbo lord like that and gets away with it
>>543582131Rome 2's naval combat is very brainless. The bigger the ship, the better. The biggest ship is the best.The physics damage from ramming is very buggy. You always take damage by ramming someone and sometimes it just kills you for no reason, or fails to deal damage or other stupid shit. It's generally best to board instead of ram (assuming you can board successfully) or just autoresolve naval combat because it's a mess.The trick with naval warfare is that there isn't really that much value to it. Oversea trade is not a massive part of your income where a blockade or raiding is going to cripple you, the AI is too retarded at amphibious assaults to really be a threat there and enemy fleets can't force your fleet into combat if it's safely in harbour so you can just not pick a fight until your fleet's bigger.Of course in the real ancient world the Mediterranean was the key to interior logistics and the life-giving artery of the empire but those don't exist in Rome 2 because why bother modelling the thing that made the Mediterranean so important to a Mediterranean Empire, using systems that they had in place just a few years ago with E:TW and NAPOOPAN when they could just... you know, not.
>>543582969rome 2 was the start of nu tw. everything wrong with tw right now started with r2.>Which is due to the game over-emphasizing the battlemap and under-emphasizing the campaign map.it's the exact opposite. the game makes every concession to autoresolve abusers. modern tw players have been conditioned to think that map painting is the only goal and campaign progress is all that matters.
>>543583447so volound was right?>>543581848it'll be like the elves in silmarilion sieging morgoth who eventually broke out and routed them completelyattempt to maintain a siege against the warp portal as long as possible until they find a way to close it (impossible) or it surges out and wipes away the blockade again
why don't the elves just create a second vortex to beat chaos again, are they stupid?
>>543584605Teclis is a hack
>>543582335>>543583343It seems like boarding is buggy too. I've seen the unit bunch up and not fight back a few times, and the way enemy ships will patiently wait for you to finish so they can board you is awkward.It seems like overwhelming superiority and autoresolve it is, which is a shame because naval battles are kino when they work. At least besieging with a navy can be quite effective if the enemy garrison is all land units.
GW is releasing new marauders for Old World. I wonder if the timing is intentional to coincide with Sayl the Faithless
>>543585520is tamurkhan's intern expected to be a good fighter and mage hybrid or just mage
>>543585520maybe its the reason for the delay?
>>543585596Nigga screams pure mage. Only melee weapon is an unsheathed sword.
>>543582969Warhammer's strength is that it has all this fantasy shit going for it. You really can afford to care less about the underlying TW gameplay mechanics when you're building towards a doomstack of dinosaurs or walking pirate ship mecha or whatever.The problem isn't "WARHAMMER IS... LE BAD" it's everything peripheral to it. It's Three Kingdoms, Troy, Pharaoh and god what... 10 fucking years of terrible TW games all bad in the same ways, all making the same mistakes for the same reasons. The last TW game you could genuinely argue in good faith was good or at least fun mechanically was Attila, and it was the dark horse sandwiched between Rome 2's steaming pile and ToB's even steamier pile.CA has been stuck in a technical death spiral all this time, making game design choices not for the sake of game design, but for the sake of designing around the increasingly restrictive limitations of their broken, antiquated engine.Why can't we have good siege battles anymore? Because too many obstacles makes the AI's pathing break, because using siege equipment makes the AI's pathing break, because of bugs and AI issues they haven't fixed in 10 years. Why can't we have splittable armies anymore? Because splitting armies made the AI break, because all the processing budget was reallocated to stupid graphic bells and whistles and they needed to artificially limit army counts to free up resources. Why can the AI just instantly recruit a full stack and invalidate the outcome of a battle? Because it can't figure out how to recruit otherwise, because we limited the number of armies too much and now the AI has difficulty recovering if it loses one. Why can't we have naval combat anymore? Because it was buggy and the AI was broken and they didn't want to fix it. Why do settlements just spawn free high-tier armies instead of making us split our forces and garrison them? Because they broke the AI in Rome 2 and thought breaking the game was easier than fixing it.
>>543585790Maybe, they were just revealed yesterday out of nowhere. Mammoth is coming too. https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/jaa76ljd/bring-chaos-to-the-old-world-with-a-horde-of-rampaging-marauders/
>>543585230Yeah Rome 2's naval combat is just not good.If you're jonesing for classical era naval battles try Attila afterwards. It's not perfect but it's less buggy and better balanced than Rome 2's, with more of a rock paper scissors dynamic instead of "bigger ship win"
>>543585862It's crazy how the entire gaming industry, besides a couple of companies, has completely forgotten how to make in-house engines thanks to overreliance on Unreal and Unity.
>>543586260It's only going to get worse because everyone is working on Unreal, the amount of non Unreal capable people shrinks each day.
>>543585856>manlet wulfrik
I still go back and play the old games pretty regularly. Lately I've been coming back to and appreciating Empire and Napoleon a lot.It hurts knowing that this genre of game is just dead now. CA won't ever make anything like the old pre-R2 games, probably couldn't make them even if they wanted to, and nobody else can get too close to this kind of design because of patents.Why do things need to get worse with time?
>>543586775I hope Saber or however they are called remaster Med 2 before Sega turns CA into compost
>>543585862>because all the processing budget was reallocated to stupid graphic bells and whistlesThat circles back to warhammer though, as Jabberslythe is famously noted for costing more than the entire art of Age of Charlemagne. Whether that means just UIs and such or unit models too, it's a problem that grows when SEMs are a centerpiece of every single WH3 DLC and likely will continue to be in 40kTW (just as vehicles).I don't disagree with your complaints. And ultimately my thought is what you said with>Warhammer's strength is that it has all this fantasy shit going for it. You really can afford to care less about the underlying TW gameplay mechanics when you're building towards a doomstack of dinosaurs or walking pirate ship mecha or whatever.Without that we'd have a bit more urgency, but why would they care to fix shit in 40kTW when you can just have timmy buy the DLC pack of the guard or the creed DLC so he can spam 20 BEEEHNNBLEEEEDDEEES and clap like a fucking retarded seal as it marches over the map and does everything for them.I try to avoid histrionics but seeing something overtuned to hell like the thunderbarge just makes me realize we're in gacha whale territory, just with overpowered spectacles instead of waifus.
>>543586775>Why do things need to get worse with time?the original passion fading naturally over timethe corruptive influence of moneygrowth in popularity resulting in new games needing to be more accessiblestaff members changing over timepatents like you saidnothing lasts, everything dieswhy cant it be me
>>543587360>the original passion fading naturally over timeThere isn't a single person at CA today that worked on something even as recent as Shogun 2. It's not that the passion is gone. CA is, there's a new band of people wearing the name but they are not the same CA who made Shogun 2. The studio that made Med II, many people's favorite total war, was shut down many years ago.They don't even hire Jeff Van Dyck anymore for the music because why spend extra money on good music when you can hire cheaper artists to make forgettable music a la Warhammer.
>>543585520Will they be adding maraudermanii (horseback) (melee)?
>>543587850Are you blind? (disabled) (unmedicated)
>>543587614the amount of praise I've seen given to the music in warhammer will never cease to amaze meforgettable is the only way to describe it
>>543587614Normally companies have a process for accumulating and passing on knowledge and best practices so that even when people leave, their expertise can be retained and taught to new people. Every company has people quit, or retire, but what's happened to CA, where within 20 years, like a fraction of the length of someone's career, their talent pool and competence just completely collapsed, is not normal. It wouldn't be normal even in a company that had to lay off its long-time and experienced staff. But it's especially not normal in a company in a low turnover industry that hasn't particularly had any justifiable reason to shed all of its talent over the course of a decade and remain incapable of attracting any new talent with any degree of competence, where apparently all of its pooled knowledge and best practices where abruptly forgotten and now their own dwindling branch of Adeptus Mechanicus whisper sweet nothings into the Warscape Engine's code to impel the machine spirit within to recruit units and move from their starting settlement.I would be ashamed to still be working at a company like that.
>>543588065Exactly. There is literally 1 track from Warhammer that I even remember ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwc1-qpmZ38&list=RDhwc1-qpmZ38 and it's from Warhammer 1 lmao.I genuinely listen to the Shogun 2 soundtrack sometimes because it's just good as music. Med II and Rome had iconic soundtracks. Now we have bland and forgettable only. BRING BACK JEFF VAN DYCK.

IE they ceased to exist since M2?>>543588065I'm trying to remember the jingle of dance macabre and amazingly I can't. I'm not a stodgy traditionalist grognard because I'd actually say Shogun2 and Attila's music are the best of the series, Pharaoh's is quite good, and R1/M2's music is often hyped up more by nostalgia than objective quality. They are rather tinny and video-gamey (conversely R2's music is far too passive ambient atmospheric like warhammer or WOW's music . Shogun 2 is probably Jeff's masterpiece, it was good enough the japanese olympic ice skater used Ona hei for their performance.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathy_ReedSee 2013-2014.

>>543591931since skellies are free just keep like four shitstacks on ambush duty to cheap him with autoresolve
>>543592062I dont think you can field 4 armies for that purpose after securing your first province
Playing the historical titles has cleansed the warhammer slop from me. I loved WH1 and WH2 for what they were, but WH3 is so fucking botched there's no real saving it. Core issues that persist makes having any meaningful campaign pointless. No field battles, shitty sieges/settlement battles, defeat traits, combat that's over in 2 minutes, magic being way too powerful... could go on and on.Playing as the Franks in Attila and it feels good. Slow city development, some good meatgrinder battles and sieges worth a damn. Rome 2 chads in here about to get me to try out a Parthia campaign too because why the fuck not.
>>543592207why not? they work on a janny's paycheck

>>543597719Them putting skarbrand by settra felt like more of that weird (X) hate settra tendency they had 2 or so years ago.
>>543597719yeah, skarbrand is a turbo dickhead, but at least he usually dies because everyone beats the SHIT out of him
>Fight beastcunts that show up>Get that undergrowth choke map thats fucking narrow>Lol>Send Miao to the choke to keep them from running>Use spirit summon thing for halberd unit>Funny colorful crow guys carpet bomb the blobUnironically I fucking love this RoR unit. First one you unlock and they are beyond useful. The carpet bomb thing is kino.
>>543597719This is the biggest problem with Warhammer 3. The AI being too chickenshit to just throw it's full stack against yours. You telling me Skarbrand would shy away from a huge bloodbath to attack an undefended settlement? This is why the historical total wars are better. The AI will straight up siege you or fight you in the field without running away in forced march.
Any mods that let you use recruit Amethyst units with Franz or allowing any HElf lord to recruit faction specitic units from confederated factions?
Vanilla Rome 2 or DEI? Obviously playing as Rome. I played DEI on deployment in like 2019 on my shitty laptop, and I remember being in a forever war against Carthage for like 50 turns. Was kind of cool, might give it another go.

>>543604850you just need some ally-recruited helstorm rocket batteries to take care of enemy ranged and then your engine is good to go
>>543605763Not happening since Karl got triple teamed by Wulfrik, Festus, and Kemmler and I already killed Elspeth.
God damn, every fight against Kislev is a meat grinder. It doesn't even feel like they're trying to win. They just want to cause as many losses to you as possible.
>>543606462you can revive elspeth and franz by forcing a rebellion at their capitals if you wanted to
>>543606971Even if I could be spare the resources, it'd take too long. I've already accepted I'll have to make a secondary zombie shitstack to eat bullets for the main armies on the northern front. Wish we got vampire heroes (lore of Vampires) or necro heros got a flying mount so I could just drown them in summons.
>>543586018The only time I tried playing Attila I couldn't finish the first battle because every time I tried to play it some ships would get stuck in each other and it would soft lock.
i know this is well known by this point but damn the ai really is just stuck sitting doing absolutely nothingelspeth waited 24 turns before taking fort soll and only when i sent a second army to take it for her did she suddenly send all 3 of her max stacks to take itits the most activity ive seen her do all campaigncant blame her though since vlad did the same thing sitting at drakenhof with 4 full stacksnorsca invaded middenland with a stack and then just sat in a swamp dying of attrition for 10 turnsstarted this campaign just yesterday

>Watching lore videos >Learn apparently Alarielle cucks Tyrion for fucking Malakithwtf?
>>543616203Elves cucking each other is the norm
>>543588467>just realized it's most of the way through Orctober and I haven't played a greenskins campaign yetfugg, better get started>>543588874All greenies are good. Haven't played much Gorbad, but the rest are "starts off tough/weak, snowballs". Wurrzag seems monstrously strong if you can conquer the Southlands and grab those landmarks, but good luck keeping with a campaign past that point, and your early enemies are relentless. Azhag has a real CBT sesh with Katarin, Astragoth, and Ulgrim, and doesn't have much payoff with the Vampire Counts/Lore of Death angle, but his waaagh and playstyle is immensely satisfying as an old school TW fan (morale shock FTW), and his climates are the most agreeable to a long campaign. Grimgor has some monstrous enemies in the beginning but Cathay is good fodder for waaaghs, countering your aggressive zerg tactics with defensive zerg tactics, while going west offers completely different tactical challenges. IMO Skarsnik, perennially either under-or-overrated, is once again underrated, as after a short, what, 25 turns or less, you've got an incredibly dominant position and ambush-attack on all armies, phenomenally busted and great fun to listen to as you play.
>>543616203>End TimesThere's little within the End Times that added to the lore, elves in particular got shafted hard by it.If it is of any consolidation, Malekith saved Alarielle at some point, only for the thot to hold hands with Tyrion instead while watching the end of the world.
>>543616847as someone who has never really played around with morale affecting magic, I feel like (playing on hard) that my enemies leadership rarely ever matters. Goblin blobs will tank two star dragons being driven into them. Sure they will die but the point is they aren't running away. Even after I kill the army's lord it's kind of rare for me to see enemy morale collapse unless they've taken at least 50% casualties. Is there some trick to affecting enemy leadership I'm not getting? I remember morale mattering a lot more in TW pre-warhammer. Greenskins in my current game are the endgame crisis faction, maybe they get some inherent statbuff? I've never been really sure how endgame crises work.
>>543617318Difficulty buffs leadership significantly, also are they fresh gobbo blobs without any engagement/damage? Dragons don't do all too much damage to blobs on the charge, and terror only kicks in on low leadership. You'll see them rout way quicker if you pelted them with some arrows, have them engaged with spearmen already while charging from the rear/flank. Or do a breath attack before charging in.
>>543617318>endgame crisis inherent statbuffI think so, in an Azazel campaign the dawi were nearly unbreakable, like 130 leadership on miners.leadership mattering more pre-total warhammer is a real thing, especially on higher difficulties, but I think that also contributes to it being satisfying, saving the waaagh before triggering it shortly before a big rear charge or Skullmuncha landing on some troops is pure ludo to me. I rarely use death and despair (the -16 leadership debuff spell), except maybe against a group of clanrats, but that -24 MA/MD/Armor debuff spell is great. I think debuffs are generally underrated, sure a nasty foot of gork is better but totally cucking a dedicated melee unit while your boar boys or trolls get into position makes me much happier. Especially since the River Troll Hag got released, Azhag feels like he's got the least tools, and Vlad declaring war for no reason through positive relations is another slap in the face, but starting in a meatgrinder, exposed on all sides, and getting the momentum up to surmount the local enemies is very worthwhile to me, but the campaign does turn into Reikland wack-a-mole and I lose interest at that point.
Rejoice
>>543495958That unironically Malekith and later the dark elves. You could argue that killing chaos daemons for 2000 years is one of the main reasons he went full 1488.

god, remember the hype and trailer for chaos dwarfs?those were the days....do NOT look up the AoS chaos dwarfs
I've never really given Cathay a fair shake before, they didn't seem like they done anything particularly interesting, but I've just had surgery and have a few days off work and some decent painkillers, so it's time to give them a go. Is there anything about the faction that isn't immediately obvious I should be aware of? Which Lord is the best choice? Is it the dragon-lass who, on the workshop, has the mods for a lower cut top for more clevage?

>norscans>white
Vikings were Turkic.
Is the rumour that we are going to get the Kingdoms of Ind added to the game true? That would be sick.
>>543630484no
>>543630484what rumor?
>>543630484
>>543630519Why not? I want War Elephants!BRÖÖÖH! BRÖÖÖH! :D
>>543630765play norsca
>>543630484No, that's the next historical game.
>>543630484Yes Legend(a very reliable insider) confirmed it. They will be a part of "Forgotten Lands" dlc pack including Araby, Border Princes, Khures and Nippon. Pygmies as FLC
>>543630869Those are mammoths anon. Mammoths were so mighty they lost a fight to slightly warmer weather. Elephants are clearly cooler.
You're all being very hasty, reminder that Ind has Nagas.
>>543631584That's just slaneesh cultists
>>543631584Easy to mode in now that Dechala is a thing.
>>543631584that's a fan creation
>>543592426For me it's the feeling of interconnectivity in the campaign map. Every game approaches this differently, except warhammer. Warhammer has all this variety that is more of less designed to exists in a vacuum while players jump from campaign to campaign. Someone made the comparison to gacha and it really is like that. Minus a few individual lords there is no feeling of a greater world in-game, and even for those lords its jist their faction mechanics instead of a core gameplay experience so it's not the same kind of experience as any other total war games. Even saga titles feel more expansive because you are in a living, breathing world.
>>543631992So it's arguably got more credibility than Cathay then in that someone actually cared about it enough to make a whole ass army book? https://www.scribd.com/document/492666986/Warhammer-Kingdoms-of-Ind-9th-Ed
Sars we can win this!
>>543632640>cared>couldn't even make it look like GW armybooks, filled it with inconsistent garbage art and low-res assets insteaduh huh
>>543632640>fan-fiction>credibility
>>543632804Well somebody here clearly didn't play 8th Edition WFB. That's what they look like, for the most part, and I can forgive a fan creation for not having the editing skills of an actual publishing company.
>>543633228>disgusting low resolution street shitter scribblings at the top and bottom of the page>world of warcraft artsure they care so much lmaoif fans care they make it look good, this jeet clearly didn't
Ind looks like this
Hamwarmer
>>543634452
So how do you even begin to analyze how strong or good a unit is in general with all the different numbers around? How do 'theory' crafters know what set up workss?
>>543635156if the number is above 40 its pretty good
HOW DO I STOP PLAYING BATTLES AT SLOW SPEED, I JUST CANT PLAY AT NORMAL SPEED FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
>>543633438Looks neat to me. Elephants. Weird wooden towers on elephants. Mobile fortress no doubt containing elephants. What's not to like? What else could they add? Native Americans, but like the northern kind, not the cool Inca/Maya kind that the Lizardmen took the role of?
>>543635156melee defense is king
>>543631584Nagas were weak
The Kingdoms of Ind should have diplomatic bonuses with Nurgle.
>>543635559Get 12 units of melee units that you can right click and forget about. 5 archer and 2 cav to micro. Eventually youll get gud.
Ind kingdom strong saars
>>543636368piggybacking off this. Eventually you can learn to make basically everything work with an appropriate army composition and campaign buffs. The only way to really learn is by experience, not just your own units but pay attention to what enemy units are good and bad at too.
>>543592426Attila really is the peak.In my mind it's proof positive that the modern TW design and systems CAN work and make a fun game as long as there's a strong guiding hand and coherent vision behind them.
Despite swinging the spear with two hands instead of one, Empire Spearmen without shields deal same damage AND SWING SLOWER than Empire Spearmen (Shields). What gives?
>>543635707Warhammer Apaches fighting an endless guerilla war against the dark elves would be neat
>>543635559I know your pain bro. I dont mind losing per se, but I'm autistic about units idling without reason. If I dont play in slo-mo to constantly go through the units to reapply their orders, the following happens:>Two melee units went idle despite enemy wailing on them because they are couple stray arrows>Flanking cavalry did the same because they stubbed a toe>Cavalry didnt disengage because 59/60 models ran back but one kept fighting, causing them to loop back>Ranged target went out of range and now the archers are taking a nap despite three different eligible targets in front of them>My Lord dueling enemy Lord forgot he had attack order and is now attacking surrounding chaff while enemy lord goes for backstabs>My dogs forgot they were chasing a routing unit so they stopped, allowing it to regroup and murder them
>>543633438The bitch of it is that India had a lot of stuff that would translate well to the Warhammer World.All the crazy gods and monsters and the huge mobile temple juggernauts and fanatical naga warriors and the Camel guns.The behavior of modern Indians has absolutely ruined ant chance of it happening.
>>543636368>Get 12 units of melee units that you can right click and forget about.I wish the game had an "attack move" like RTS games do, so they won't chase a routing enemy to the end of the map. I guess I wish I could set my own infantry to rampage after they've met the enemy to keep them active at all times, not chasing pointlessly or going idle while their buddies are fighting next to them.
>>543631584>TFW my high-trust Nordlander country is being filled with Ind-ians and Nagas Feels bad man

pretty fucking sure AI blobbing armies in capital is a thing in wh2 toot. 7k hours in warhammer 2
>>543638723enlighten me on how the modern behaviour of Indians would affect a total war game
i gots schemes
>>543639264It's always been a thing. I can think back at least to Rome 2 where this happened.The AI only ever moves its armies by asking two questions:Where on the map is a valid target that I will beat in autoresolve and how do I reach it?Where on the map is every target I will lose to in autoresolve and how do I avoid it?If the AI has no valid target, ie there is no settlement or army it is currently at war with where it will win in autoresolve (or no possible path to a target it can win against), then it doesn't move. Once an army it can't beat moves into within 1 turn's movement of attacking it, it will move to evade that army (even abandoning a settlement in the process), but that's it.This isn't a bug, it's by design. The idea is that the AI raises armies in its capital, where it has all its recruitment. It sits there because the newly raised army is too weak to attack and slowly recruits until it's strong enough to attack, then it moves out to attack. If it can't attack successfully even with a full stack, because the settlement garrisons are too strong or because its internal logic threshold for what constitutes a winnable battle is too high, then it just sits there with its full stack and does nothing.This behaviour is just more noticeable right now because A: They broke recruitment, leaving some stacks forever too small to want to moveB: They unintentionally broke something else about how the AI's logic evaluates its ability to win battles or reach its target, so it doesn't move.

I'm spending a few days at home recovering and decided to finish at least one campaign of every total war in chronological order. I've started an empire campaign a few times now. Never touched it, mainly because the period didn't appeal to me until recently.I've started maybe 4 campaigns with Spain and it always gets ridiculously hard by turn 15. Last time savoy declared war, then england and france (even when we were allies). Even the pope declared war. Haven't broken a single treaty. So is there any type of anti spanish bias in the game? Similar to general anti player bias in other TW games, for example. Because when playing France everything goes smooth as silk
>>543644580As long as the Beastmen AR is still shit, Khazrak dies in the first 10 turns to Franz>inb4 ARIm not going to fight earlygame Beastmen without at least 4 Outriders/Pistoliers, as for Changeling, if anything I hope this means Vlad doesnt have an easy time making it to your borders now given he'd usually declare war on The Changeling before being in your neighbor and since Tzeentch has all fire attacks, should be a good way to making sure Vlad doesnt become an easy superpower. If anything VC just got harder again and thats a good thing.
>>543645301They just make a big batch of the accelerant and she curses that
>>543643313>foot knights with bows
Whats the point of getting 90% of the forms as Changeling?Most of them need their mount or magic weapon to do somethingImagine transforming into lvl 1 unmounted Settra and bragging about it
>>543631372>Elephants are clearly cooleryeah, cause they don't wear 7 tons of thick fur
>>543645605AI A/R doesn’t care about that when vlad pulls up on him with 4 stacks of zombies
>>543630484>CA needs the Chinese market, so they add the Chinese faction>Now they need the Indian market, so they add the Indian faction?
which one?
>>543641638On a tangent, I feel that one of the underlying issues is the map being compressed so much. On Old World cheat where you spend more than 1 turn jumping from one settlement to the other (+free replenishment it entails) and more settlements for each faction, AI can mount much better defences. If you use the normal "I'll overextend until sub-10 settlement faction is wiped out because I killed their main armies", you'll face multiple capital sieges with full stacks defending it and at worst opportunistic armies going around your main stack(s). I get that its not everyone's cup of tea, but it makes wars much weightier a proposition instead of free real estate.
>>543646070first time playing?lost god is a pretty good tutorial
>>543645870>4 stacks of zombiesExpect Valiant Defeat and having to fight it manually, esp since Chaos is blessed with good A/R and fire + weakness to fire is taken into account with the A/R AI,
>>543645384>needing the slop right after it droppedoink oink piggy
>>543646070lost god
>>543646070Lost god for tutorial.Honestly, realms of chaos would appear to be the following logical choice, but its unrionically an advanced players campaign because poor design and balance makes it legitimately difficult. Try immortal empires as miao ying or tyrion.
Counter-opinion: Total War: Warhammer 3 is a great game.
>>543646070>Hasnt played Lost GodPlay it. Its one of the few campaigns that is actual campaign instead of "conquer 120 settlements to win">RoCIf your faction doesnt have to do the forced Soul Race and can be played in RoC, play this. Turn times are lightning fast and past turn 50 you're snowballing so hard anyways that "but I'm running out of settlements to conquer after 150 turns" doesnt matter anyways>IEPlay it if your factions isnt available in RoC, if it has Soul Race mechanics (first time is ok for experience though) or if it has a starting location that is much mlre fun in IE.
>>543645870Zombies have literally negative AR multiplier. A Necromancer with 19 zombies has worse AR than lone Necromancer.
>>543515737Except the Empire won specifically because they were far more mobile and smaller than the Chorf artillery.
>>543646668it depends on the enemy you dumb bitch
>>543645796Most of the forms are useless and for flavor, yes (I like playing with the LL of the faction I'm attacking for memes). Although they get hefty melee/ranged bonuses from skills, their magic skills are lacking. Hence you'll be railroaded into melee lords "only" and you only got few strong options there, where you'll quickly settle into strongest one available and ignore all the rest.
>>543646807>Zombies have 0 AI or ALNo it doesnt
What's everyones favorite faction in Attila?
>>543645796Any of the 4 greater daemon LL’s, festus, and like maybe kholek are the only real transformations.Anything else is trolling. Which, to be fair, is lore-friendly.Would be neat if say, you used settra’s form when you fight franz, it made a diplomatic penalty between reikland and khemri.

>>543647197How's their roster? Been kind of intimidated to try a WRE campaign.
>>543646517Soul race campaign isn't that bad the first time around. I just can't imagine doing it twice, what were they thinking giving everyone the same campaign objectives? At least the DLC ones are good
>>543643241I should play that Drycha Nurgle corruption mod some day.
>>543647501The roster is great but the campaign is a endless fight against the odds.
>>543586260>Want to make a game that requires a small-ish team of, say, 30 peopleDo you a) spend year at absolute bare minimum creating new engine (4k/mo x 12 x 30 = 1,4 million)(+ other costs like 401k matching, rent, electricity, cleaning, security, entire non-low-level workers like management, hr, marketing...) or b) just use UECompanies arent your friends. They dont exist to make good games. They exist to make profit. Spending 1,4 million (or 2,8 million, or in fact way more) just for somewhat better "experience" would be absolutely retarded move from them.
>>543647563Yeah, I literally said that if its your first time RoC is okay. Its a fun experience through sole virtue of being different for the first time only
>No gorbad or skulltaker in RoCNot like their IE’s are that special. They didn’t put more effort into it when they cut the RoC campaigns, they just cut that corner
>>543648809I hope that the next Total War game just has a sandbox campaign. Time limits suck.

>>543585520>>543585921NahGW needs like 3 to 5 years to design, sculpt, print, then make molds and then produce minis and then need to fit them in a release schedule. Those guys still don't have release date even.At this same time vidya developers have their own delays, schedules etc Look how fucking inept CA is with everything now lol. This dlc was blatantly meant to have a trailer on skullsCoordinated cross-marketing between GW and vidya developers is honestly physically impossible on any larger scale. And it doesn't have any value for both GW and devsOnly actual crossmarketing they ever did was a single Titus mini recently nearby SM2 release, but that was a game they really collaborated on, a single mini and marine whom they could easily kitbash from existing assets
