RTR is surprisingly good I am genuinely shocked at how they managed to make a mod with 1808 cities on a map and it's running smooth and stable. I managed to get past the Rome Remastered UI and I am starting to enjoy myself.
Holy shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo3PBxvnJEw
>>544222903The most kino roster of LLs.How can other factions even compete?
Hmm, how do you play Archaon the Everchosen these days? It seems like his horde mechanic is gone and you now should focus on vasallising things and these Dark Fortresses?
>>544222903>Welcome to the Team Aisli..Not so fast mongrel.
>>544223246rome remastered is total dogshit, the fucking thing doesn't have mouse input unless i trick the game to think it's 2008
>>544223246Pic of the map with cities toggled on lmao. Completionists nightmare.
>>544223416>Introduces new High Elf lord>Show him being defeated by KRAKEN LORD OF KAROND KARWhat were they thinking?
>>544222903GYYYAAAATTTT
>>544223571They were merely showing the truth of power disparity between DruChads and Asurcucks
>>544223571They had to show Mathlann bring him back to show that he has the sea god's favour, unlike Lokir, who constantly gets denied.
It's been a long time, but we're finally getting our merwyrm asurchads
>>544223953And a Teclis rework. Hopefully his magic mechanics are juicy
>>544223953>our
It's over
>>544224195just hope they shift kairos to the east end of the south pole because teclis campaign is just a huge train wreck
>>544224205Had to give Druchii a W in the trailer to help you fellas cope with never getting new content again ;(
Ohhh myyyy
why can't they just port the wh2 campaign ai? it was schizophrenic but challenging
>>544225223Dechala's eyes are completely soulless in this
>>544226025Because its AI.
>>544225551the problem is the AI got insane combat cheats in 2 so they didn't need to recruit so many armiesplus supply lines not as harsh in 3, not sure it could just work how you would want
Is there any mod that reverts sieges back to the way they were in WH2? ie, cooler maps and no towers/barriers.
>build sharties and shades>winwow nice strategy game
>>544224457Dark Elves players are used to getting no content in WHFB.
>>544226025Because Slaanesh took it.
>>544224457The chinamen leak that had ToT dead to rights 100% (or nearly 100% as I recall) said there's 2 more DLC packs then End times and the future of warhammer 3. If we assume the DLC packs are not a single race (Dogs of war) but either 3 as with WH3, or 2 as they hinted at scaling back, that means 4-6 factions.Of that, the chinaman leaks said moonglow or something moon for beastmen (ra roo) and Monkey king were confirmed. Tomb Kings were a 'maybe'. Then of ET it's Nurgle, Rats, Empire (Middenheim), Cathay, I forget if anyone else.Vampires feel almost certain to get something, I think they said as much. So could be either:Dogs of war + One three lord pack = no delvesDogs of War + Two 2 lord packs = 1 chance of delves2 lord pack + 2 lord pack = 1 chance of delves3 lord pack + 3 lord pack = I'm getting retarded with the math here but I think 2-3 chance.Either way it's slim but not zero.
>>544227980I would like a Druchii DLC as an Asurchad. The Asur-Druchii conflict is the centre point of the universe; everything else is world-building.
>>544228212we had wh2 for that
>>544228212yet it culminates into a complete dogshit mess...
>>544228212Honestly I liked WhF for that reason - elves are co-equal to man in the drama as opposed to ancillary at best in the case of the ChaosSM vs SM melodrama of "Daddy wasn't the best father". Someone posted an example of a unit they could use lore wise that's some kind of stone golem Malekith infuses with the souls of murderers and that's no less obscure than merwyms and shit.Given Naggarond's location I wouldn't be surprised if the ((chaos dwarves)) taught him that magicMy unvarnished no bias opinion aside of the aforementioned like of dark elves is:>Empire, cathay, Skaven,Save powder for ET. >Dwarveslol no>VampiresDesperately need something. I'm kinda surprised the chink leak didn't say Undead for ET but maybe that's just lords and units, and everyone gets ET suitable shit. NEferata (with blood dragon FLC) and you can fold some TK shit into that for a twofer like chaos sharing shit. Vampirates would benefit from a freebie here too.>LizardsI want a more fun campaign map experience but otherwise they're fine unit wise>Greenskins, khorne, nurgleNo>TzeentchEgrimm or whatever but otherwise probably fine>ChorfsI wish but no>CathayMonkey and ET so no past that.>Bretonniapic related
>>544229374>Norsca/slaanesh/helvesGetting tot>WelvesNah>KislevI wanted ungols but they explicitly won't do them, so they probably won't get anything since what else is there to do?
>>544226314i meant more of the balls to the wall kind of aggro like boris todbringer declaring war on you even though you are both fighting vlad and then he force marches through your entire territory to grab that one lone undefended minor settlement, making it back to the mountains as belegar only to discover thorgrim and queek had a military alliance bc they bonded over fighting greenskins, tilea killing ikit and sartosa, wurrzag and skarsnik jobbing to minor greenskin factions and getting absorbedit was great
>>544230181players hate it is why, player bias was deeply unpopular as is the way they are almost hardcoded to declare war if they share a border and you don't have 4+ active warspeople also hate how they take minor settlements and force march run away from you and basically let you take their whole empire while just being an annoyance playing musical chairs razing and sacking your undefended regionsthey need to make the AI actually good, not just a gimmick or annoyance
>>544231220For the ai to be good they need to completely redesign it from the ground up for the new games. (along with most of the core systems)
>>54423242740kino soon, trust CA, trust the great plan
Melwin will have his day next patchHe'll go insane and conquer half of Lustria
Why does Kislev have a -40 Aversion to Wood Elves, but the empire only has a -10?
>>544234405kislevites are 30 points gayer
>>544231220Like the slav said, it is a daunting task. They can do it with enough time and resources spent but will the management/publisher allow it?
>>544236127of course not, and who cares? 40k is coming next year and we are all going to drop wh3
>we
>>544236341Shan't be playing until at least 4 or 5 years after launch.
>>544236710look at 3 chinkdom or histoid fans here, a tiny, tiny minority40k chads are already running this general and our game hasn't even been announced yet
>>544236969I feel like the current players for all history vs the 3 wh games are similar but this is pure speculation on my part and I will not be verifying this and instead will just choose to believe it to be true unless proven otherwise.
>>544237835hard to prove because steam player counts are unique players per title, so if a histoid boots up r2, r1, empire and 3k that counts as 4 unique playersbut going by the discussion here it's more like 80-20, however the porn addict brown trannies that spam this place turn off a lot of regular players so it's probably an unfair comparison
>>544229374>Someone posted an example of a unit they could use lore wise that's some kind of stone golem Malekith infuses with the souls of murderers and that's no less obscure than merwyms and shit.Not sure if you are talking about me >>544085638 but to be 100% honest Merwyrm is way more obscure than the Khaine Golem.Merwyrm was in the Helves Sea Patrol army list + in the Monstrous Arcanum book (with a model), a more fair equivalent would be the Magma Dragon.
>>544239556Crap I meant "Merwyrm is way less obscure than the Khaine Golem".
>>544239556>>544239830whatever happened to that tranny obsessed with mermaids anyway
>>544240186Hopefully part of the 41%
>>544240282another victim of 40kinos impending victorythank you based CA and GW
>i got elspeth's trait as vladzis is vhy ve can't have nice sings
What should you prioritise building as wood elves?
>>544241520the big money building and then the trade money building
>>544241714Why money over growth?
>>544241896you build that after but having more money early is good
>>544242252you just gotta unga bunga harder
GONNA STAB!
>>544241896games over by turn 30 and lords and heroes are good enough to win most battles with basic units
>>544242646That Slayer has armour on his wrist.
>>544242646*pok*
>15 minutes of rerolling and still dont have chariotmaster on settras starting herothis sucks
>>544223571Staying true to his jobber roots
>the only win they got in an entire game>2 seconds of a trailer stabbing a guy who comes back to life anywaydrukeks...
>>544234405Empire is host to the Laurelorn Wood Elves, or Eonir.They’re far less autistic and anprim compared to their Asrai cousins, and actually engage in regular diplomacy with the Empire. They even have a camp outside Altdorf that functions as an embassy so they can talk to Karl easily.That probably helps a lot to brighten the Imperial view of Wood Elves in general.
>be druchii chad>not even part of the dlc>win the dlc anyway
>>544246396No we got the (vastly superior) new Slaves mechanic with the rush construction.Also Daemonette for Mommy.
>dead generalSad.
>captured generalalso sad.
>8 Books of Khorne as SkragThe Maw devours all.
>enemy sends 1 army that I can counterattack with my 2 armies>send both to attack it, it retreats just beyond my reach by 3-5% movement>reload save and turn on trainer, set unlimited movement>attack it with both armies and win, turn trainer off>waste all the movement Its that simple desu
>get gristle valley off elspeth>sell it to durthu>he agrees to become my vassalhuh?
god fucking dammit I need to COLONIZE primitive savages (eastern and southern europe and beyond) empire 2 when???????????
>>544252096force march and it's consequences have been a disaster for tw
>>544252096>be bad>cheatIts that simple desu
>>544255913i remember in 1 or 2 where there was a triangular circuit you could do around a fork in a river and vlad did ring around the rosie for 10 turns and i couldn't catch him
>>544252501you discovered an issue with the game that has existed for 2 years and big brain anons use to feel smart
>>544256968i'm very new
40k won....they fucking won
28 dollarinos
>Finally purchase WH3>Boot it up>Now which one of those interesting factions and races should I play>Empire >Karl >Halberds, Handgunners and Hellstorm Rocket Batteries>Yup it's gamin time
im going to concede and rematch until this skaven nuke doesnt delete my unit outside of the targeting reticle and theres nothing these incompetent devs can do to stop me
>>544243539heh-heh-heh roight in the jacksie!
>>544252096It is really fucking annoying that the AI has perfect knowledge of army movement ability and placement, yet half the time when I click an enemy army to see its movement range it doesn't fucking show me it.
>>544266931Nuke drops in 45 seconds (or 1.15 mins i'm not sure) Move all 19 of your units around that time so AI will target the one thats stationary. When you see the marker, move your unit, preferably a cav unit can easily dodge the noooke.If you are oplaying dwarfs tho only slayers might not get completely deleted.
>>544248517CA will add sea caravans and open Ind/Khuresh so DEs won big.
>>544267906im playing kangs and the nuke has landed perfect onto my unit after moving them out and completely deleting them whereas a few patches earlier it would just do part damagewhatever they took all their armies out of skavenblight to kill some spearman and an immortal lord in a minor settlement so now i take skavenblight and destroy their entire faction
>>544267821Whenever an enemy army is recruiting it disables the potential movement range preview, which is gay and retarded; regular and march movement should always be reviewable and the percentages should actually be accurate for the players own movements
so i meet khalida as settra and i get the mortuary cult option to force confed herbut khatep is seemingly wiped out (hero cant find him anywhere, noone in area has any treaties with him) however theres no option to force confed him, it literally says in the text if they are dead you get them into your lord poolwhat kind of retarded system is this?
green iz best
>>544268657Lore autism + balance. All kangs get 1 other LL from mortuary cult. Just go to khatep's start location and force a rebellion there you can confed him through normal diplomacy.
How will Skycutter idle animation look like?
>>544270079You'll find out next year (February)
>>544270079it floats with poorly drawn "speed lines" around it like in some cartoon
>>544270079They spin around in a circle
>>544269775oh right, that is intuitive as fuck
wait, can i confederate, force rebellion and then revive the faction?
>>544272304just use cheats to recruit defeated lords
>>544272304Yes, although not all LLs can be revived through rebellions, and some (like Boris Ursus) are revived in a different province than where they start.
>>544272304>>544272482No wait I think I may have misunderstood your post. If you meant if you can confederate a factions, then revive them through rebellion, then I think no.
If they made skycutters, then 40k is possible.
luthor harkon heretodays trait is meanie
total war star wars finna be lit
>playing as Talysn (wh2)>it's turn 120 or so>Estalia has survived because I kicked the shit out of Clan Skryre and razed Skavenblight>Estalia are at war with Cult of Pleasure & maybe Naggarond too>most of the Empire Bretonnia and the Old World are controlled by the "Good" factions>most of them are at with with CoP/Naggarond or both>CoP has taken parts of Estalia but been ousted each time>Estalia has taken the Shrine of Khaine lmao Never seen Estalia survive for so long and certainly never seen them take a part of Ulthuan.
frfr that shit bussin ong
>>544272242i've just starting using cheats with console commands to revive lords and confederate them because it just takes too long otherwise
Just out of curiosity, does everyone here follow this exact basic bitch strategy pattern for gunpowder naval battles?
>>544272304no, if you confed a faction then the rebellion in their location will be a generic faction
>>544273665wh3 could never

Is TWHWH3 harder now in terms of diffuculty on VH or Legendary than on release? Or is it easier? Or the same?
>>544273839No, I use the trafalgar formation everytime, lord nelson is my teacher
>>544274975>Never mind maneuvers, just go straight at em!
>ikit claw nukes my units hiding in a forestyep, it's rematch time
>>544275148it worked for the British
>>544274975>>544275408But doesn't that just wind up as a huge clusterfuck? It was unconventional enough in real life but at least Nelson had the advantage of superior British gunnery and causing confusion in the enemy.
HUGE NEWS, CHUDS!Two new TW (Total War) players have joined Phase Connect (the corpo that Clio (Total War's biggest streamer) is with). HUGE Total War streams are in the pipeline.
luthor harkon herei shoot your bitchass face
>>544277745Who are those players you speak of? Will we see Sotek get a femboy vtuber avatar or some shit?
>>544277745please tell me Wilhelmina plays total warit is also undeniable that wh40k will be a hit with the vtuber community
>>544277745>>544278034>>544278529People don't actually watch vtubers rightPlease tell me you don't, /twg/
>>544273839I'm a proponent of the "oh god, oh god, what the fuck is happening" pattern. I go in with a plan, I come out with sweaty palms.
>>544277745>Phase Connect (the corpo that Clio (Total War's biggest streamer) is with)Never heard of them. Also that is some impressive autism bracketing anon. : )
>>544278034Malice Evermore (on the left), and Wilhelmina Frost (on the right).>>544278529Both talked about Warhammer Fantasy this morning. The Clio, Lumi, Malice, and Wilhelmina, campaign collab is inevitable.
>>544277745I never understood the point of streaming on Twitch alone, who the fuck is going to tune in live to watch someone else play vidya games at set times? Just upload that shit to youtube so that us more normal people can watch it and skip all the boring or non-essential bits.Also, as a Northern Ireland fella, I can't wait to see what hot takes some cartoon person with an english accent has on The Troubles.
>>544279125Clio is Irish. She moved to Australia while she was young, and went to uni in England.
>>544278657legend is about to drop his daily video so the schizo porn addict spams his mental illness here in the hopes it drives people offand no, it's literally one guy samefagging about vtrannies every time
>>544278657i don't even know why he even here
IT'S UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDzjTzFK4hI
>>544273839Protip:In Empire, Frigates outrange ships of the line and can kite them indefinitely with chain shot. One dismasted ships will start wavering and can be easily boarded and captured. If you immobilize the leading ship of a formation, the rest will get stuck behind it, making it trivial to cross the T and focus all your firepower on the ensuing traffic jam.
>>544280615Thank you, Legend.
>>544280615We don't car.
>>544278657The clio shill is just some autist ragebaiting. That vtubers is literally just a gay dude trying to pass as a woman.
>>544280889men don't look like this anon
How fun/strong is greasus currently? Character wise and faction wise. Feel like playing the fat fuck but haven't touched him since the ogre rework.
>>544280889I find it hilarious how the one autist shilling clio tries to defend her tranny voice with >muh cigarretes
minmaxing is like gooning
>>544282404As banner and army general? GreatIndividual fighting power? He's okFaction? Very strong with Tyrant's demands
1. Clio wouldn't be allowed into Phase Connect if she wasn't a woman. The boss, and many of the talents just wouldn't allow it to happen. 2. If pretending that biological women have penises is your fetish then please keep it to yourself, or take it to a board where it belongs. We don't want to take part in your fetish talk.3. We don't car if you don't want to watch her. She is already the biggest Total War streamer without your participation.4. You should expect much more Phase posting in the not too distant future. CA isn't going to ignore the fact that there is now a large vtuber corporation with four talents that play TW. They will reach out to do something with Phase.
lmao imagine reading this
>>544223458Damn. I'm gonna check this out
>large vtuber corporationlmao
List of bugs that CA left unfixed in TWWH2:>High Elf Noble passive>Ambush AI>Wrong owner map colors>Underwater map when attacking from a settlement into army at seaAnything else?

Imagine Clio.Imagine her bulging biceps and wide, muscular back, the fruits of years of wrestling, lifting and drugs.Imagine her facial and chest hair, stubbornly growing despite frequent laser treatments.Imagine her stained teeth and repulsive breath, the aftermath of years of smoking.Imagine her engorged, massive clit, large enough to count as a micropenis, a product of many years on steroids.Imagine...
>>544284676>She is already the biggest Total War streamer without your participation.And none of us have even heard of her, so she cant bee that popular can she?
I love the ambush stance. Turns off all the obnoxious AI behaviour. I just wish it didn't take up as much movement
>>544285335Actually, thanks to the resident tranny loving anon in this thread, I know "her" against my will
>>544285402wood elves only need 10 movepoints to enable it for whatever reason
>>544285402Yeah I use it constantly
Man fuck trying to play any Empire faction in SFO, there's just too many fires to put out in every direction all the fucking time, IA just gores right into the shitter by turn 20-25 and the other factions crumble as Vlad begins to roll out his crusade of the dead. You simply cant field enough armies to deal with everything on your own, and you can confederate it all because that leaves you with less armies overall. I'll take any suggestions people have for SFO Empire, banging my head off a wall here.
>>544274975>>544275408>>544275617I'm trying it but I'm honestly not sure how this is supposed to work given the constraints of the game
Why is there no WHFB equivalent of Cegoragh(sp:Cegorach?)?
Shoutout to Nurgle for helping me get today's Wordle in 3 guessesMaybe I should actually play a Nurgle faction at some point. Who's the best go to for someone that doesnt like playing chaos?
>>544286149But Loec exists.
>>544274975>>544275148>>544275408>>544275617>>544286146Oh and pic
>>544286328does this actually work tho
>>544286146>>544286328I mean an important factor in Trafalgar was British skill, aim, reloading etcLike they were some of the best sailors around, and IIRC even their way of shooting differed from the french (brits aimed low for the hull, french for the masts)Alltough that might have been at long range come to think of it
>>544286146>>544286328Holy fuck I actually managed to punch through>>544286429We're about to find out
>>544286603I gave the enemy more and heavier ships but gave my fleet more exp levels (and HMS Victory) while still spending less gold overall than the French
>>544286612This definitely got very messy very quickly
You know when you have a big bunch of units selected at deployment, and drag them out into a line, is there a hotkey or key combo or something that lets you add spacing between each squad of units?
>>544286994in these situations I would say its perfectly fine to pause and micromanagein real life each britisih ship would have a captain and a pretty skilled one toorather than you as the admiral having to do everything
>>544275617It wasn't about gunnery. At the range they were engaging you literally can't miss.The opposing crews weren't fully trained and thus liable to fold during the chaos, but the more salient issue was that their officers had never fought a naval battle before. The chaos caused command and control to break down and made the size of the french-spanish armada a hinderance rather than an advantage.In game, british ships have a considerable RoF advantage over all other factions so they always want to close in and brawl it out if possible. French ships by comparison have a big accuracy advantage so you doubly want to avoid a long range gunnery duel with them.
>>544287053If you're trying to checkerboard you can do single line deployments in order of unit grouping with gun and melee alternating
>>544287053for small gaps you can line them up wide and press ctrl + up to make them all into a square, but if you want to keep the formation wide or make larger gaps you have to do it manually
>>544286994Somehow, incredibly, this actually seems to be kind of working>>544287170Yeah, I'm taking little moments to turn a given ship here and there, but mostly I'm just going with "select all and path the entire fleet through the middle of the enemy"
>>544287674>Somehow, incredibly, this actually seems to be kind of workingaccording to the other anon british ships have higher rate of fire and french higher accuracyso as brits you have nothing to lose by getting up close quickly
Why is Morathi a snek in AoS?
>>544288570>why is X a thing in AoSBecause it's soulless dogshit that shits on the original WHFB with garbage lore, garbage character design and garbage gameplay
>>544287674My fleet took quite a beating but I've just about finished them off.>>544287674Yeah, I kind of figured they'd wheel back and surround me pretty quickly but they actually took quite a while to bring their lead ships back to the fight and even then they were in pretty bad disarray.
>>544288570some writer at GW plays XCOMalso this >>544288731
>>544288801>half the fleet goneOof
>>544288570She tricked all the Khaine worshippers into directing their energy towards her instead of Khaine who is dead. She then had them perform a big ritual that turned her into a God level entity.Start here if you want the long version.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-D-PV-8UIY&pp=ygUPMit0b3VnaCBtb3JhdGhp
>>544288801Damn, sonEven Nelson survived>>544289034Yeah, I wouldn't call it an optimal strategy by any means but this honestly turned out a lot better than I expected
>>544289034>>544289336My only ships to actually get sunk were a couple that kind of got stuck and stalled in the middle of the clusterfuck
>>544289063Is becoming god-tier that easy? If people of the Empire thought Karl Franz was Sigmar reborn they could just come together and elevate him into Sigmar Reborn through a simple ritual?
>>544286146>>544286328>>544289336>>544289531Fleet setups used, I tried to roughly approximate the actual Trafalgar power balance
Total War Azurlane?
>>544287226>It wasn't about gunnery. At the range they were engaging you literally can't miss.Skill in gunnery also comes down to firing speed, in which the Brits had a great advantage>The opposing crews weren't fully trained and thus liable to fold during the chaos, but the more salient issue was that their officers had never fought a naval battle beforeThey did also have experienced and competeny captains in the fleet, but yes in general both the British crews and commanders were far more seasoned and well drilled
>Deploy 18 units on open field>Two cavalry units are placed on the other side of the map hidden in a forest>As AI deploys it sends 18 units straight at my army with two cavalry units "randomly" beelining to check the one forest patch out of 6 that conveniently has my Knights waiting to ambush themNice game
>>544290123too many single entities and not enough army/units, same for most gacha settings
>>544289580No, AoS power scaling is completely different. It's physically a far larger place, and there is way more magic available. The Old World wouldn't be on that level even if you got rid of the vortex.
>>544290291The AI will seriously pretty much never fail to "discover" your "hidden" units in TWWH, it's fucking garbage.
>>544288731Shame, its minis are neat.
Sons of Kislev, stand and fight!
Kislev men eat pussy on their knees while women (QUEENS) make decisions
I love Empire I would seriously like Empire 2 more than Medieval 3 if it was just Empire again with functional AI and all the cut content added I'd be fine
>>544291649Why are they so ridiculously hench? Chaos Warriors are jealous of those gains.

>>544290732Same anon here:I did some fiddling around and it seems the AI is given your unit locations when the fight starts but not after that if they are invisible. So having your cavalry on one end during deployment but then running to other side of the forest has AI exploring the initial location, which makes at least some sense. Similarly Stalking units arent beelined beyond their starting locations. Why the game needs to reveal initial hidden positions makes no sense though. I wonder if this can be used to avoid Ikit Nukes and Dreadquake Barrages though? Deploy all units hidden in a forest, then move them to the other end and wait for AI to shoot at your initial location. Any anons willing to do tests?

>>544290291>>544290732>>544292078I'm pretty sure it's confirmed to be cheating in the sense that it always knows where your stalking/invisible units are and just pretends to not know, like the Alien Isolation xeno AI, which they might have actually fenagled into TW since CA worked on both.Sometimes it gets fucked and if you manage to have only invisible units then it just reverts and doesn't even try to act like it doesn't see them.
>>544292426>if you manage to have only invisible units then it just reverts and doesn't even try to act like it doesn't see them.Even if you have both visible and hidden units and they have a lot of space between them, the AI will pretty much always "scout" the location of the hidden units on the way to the visible ones in my experience, even if it's a substantial and senseless detour otherwise.

>>544223571>>544223416Okay first off the Sea Lord losing a fight against Mr dark elf pirate dude actually happens mainly because the dark elf survive something most enemies would not that the Sea Lord did not know he would have but he does actually survive this near death experience with about a few months of amnesia which is like a few hours minutes to a normal person second he's obviously going to get revenge in this DLC for that action canonical action.

>>544304625>Will Med3 have unit variety between cultures and factions? I hope so.I imagine they'll have more formations for units. Formations will probably be more useful when there's no monsters or magic, and when the battles take longer.If they have some kind of political system then I hope it is better than the dogshit they had in Rome 2.>After Warhammer they have to amp up that shit, even if in just armor design.I don't know if I'll be able to go back to historical total wars after Warhammer. If they have a good range of battle maps, including plenty of town and cities layouts then it might change my mind.

>>544300897>jesus what an ugly faceThe way the GW team paints faces just makes it worse, they ALWAYS highlight the eyebrow ridge and NEVER paint any eyebrows on, it makes every model look like some sort of psychopath who shaved off their own eyebrows. Also they make the contrast so fucking harsh on the face, it looks atrocious. I cant find a competent painter who has done this mini, probably because its AoS, but if there was one it would no doubt look much better. Another example is Lelith Hesperax. The GW painted on looks like a butch lesbian with shaved off eyebrows, but if you search on Instagram for Lelith (aside from a load of cosplayers) you will find the same mini painted with a little more thought that doesn't look half as bad.
>>544306830Im not sure if you mean the jews, women or both.
>>544306661they found out you could invest in safer stuff and stopped risking money on the mega projects that wanted to try something new and daring. Warner bros was close to bankruptcy when they gave hundreds of millions to this filmmaker who's best movie was a drama to make an epic medieval fantasy, and not only they gave him the money, they told him to do the three movies on one sitting. Current jewllywood would never.The whole "durrr it's the woke agenda" has nothing to do with that. In fact older hollywood was way bolder with some of its gay representation despite being more scarce. Now days every LGBT character is exactly the same boring virtue signaling piece of garbage poorly written crap. the best trans character I've seen in the last 20 years is whiterose, and that was an evil crazy chinese tranny that wasn't defined by being a tranny but rather for being insane, controlling and evil.

>>544307809AI just doesn't know how to play them properly.
Tzeentch was also surprisingly easy, well i guess khorne was the hardest monogod faction to beat out of the lot
>>544308838I've seen older directors complain about this a lot, and not only that, but also how executives are more hands on on the production itself that they used to be before, so they find themselves in situations in which some exec with no idea of how to make or write movies would get in the middle of production and complain about dialogs or scenes. This has happened to almost any mass industry, videogames included. Bobby was known for get his filthy hands on stuff inside blizzard all the time.I regards to books I have no idea.

>>544309317Oh, I believe it completely, I just love reading books from "the inside". Did it once with the early microcomputer industry. All the tech stuff flew over my head but the drama was fun.I wonder how this all ends. Hard to imagine tv and movies crashing, you know?
>>544309267If you're fighting AI armies on Skirmish (ie no army abilities or financial/recruitment cheats), you'll find that nearly all ranged/micro-intensive armies are easy (for example Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Skaven) while generally struggling more against statcheck piles of violence like Mortal Khorne armies, Ogres and Saurus+dinomanii.

How do I stop Vilitch just zerg rushing me with maraudermanii and flying units as Cathay, It feels like Tzeentch probably shouldn't play this way but that's just my opinion
>>544310758To Be Quor Hot Wo Ye?
>>544312118Jade Warriors beat Marauders easily and both their Furies and Screamers(?) lose to Jade Crossbows in melee. You shouldnt be losing unless you're doing something wrong.
>>544310580WE campaign is really shitty unless you go into it with meta knowledge>All Rituals spawn 3 armies only>These armies always spawn on same location and are very weak on turn 1, so if you know where they spawn you can just split your main army into 2, zerg them all as soon as they spawn and teleport to next tree>By the time you've mopped up enough Heathlands for next ritual previous one has just finished. Split army again and repeat
>not using VCO
This game is a fucking joke
How the hell is this a close victory?

I don't know if I can be bothered with Miao's campaignHaving to fight endless defensive siege battles against norsca shitstacksI beat the first army only for another one to attack the same turn and use the first army as backupWhat's the fucking point
>>544313782looking at that army, probably used too much magic since there's no ammo to expendironically some victories just cannot be heroic victories even with cheats as i found out the other daylike you can have it set up so 4 full enemy armies spawn with 0 leadership, and instantly rout/shatter upon start of the battle and sometimes the game will consider it a close victory despite no magic/ammo and no melee happening at all
>>544316191>HalberdsI Kislev are smart for equipping all their melee guys with ranged weapons. The only way to really fight deamons is to shoot them from beyond poopoopeepee range.
>>544316338>equipping all their melee guyd with ranged weapons>Tzar Guard dont use any ranged>outperform Armored Kossars with pistols

How on earth are early game Skaven supposed to contend with Saurus Warriors?
>>544316238If you control all three gates and have the edict that slows down Kurgan progress, it only increases by 2 percent every turn, so you get 80 turns between invasions, which is very manageable.
>>544316871with 4 skavenslave slingers
>>544316553Do they outperform armored kossars because they don't have pistols or do they have no pistols because they're strong enough not to need them?

I'm so tired of this fuck. I'm fighting multiple wars on multiple fronts, and every time I turn away from him for one or two turns, he shits out two more chaff stacks. It doesn't help that auto resolve grossly overvalues his garbage units, so I have to fight every one manually.

Whore of Babylon is probably (speaking out my ass) the temptation of babylon, since the Jews refer to themselves as a wanton whore in the infamous Ezekiel 23:20. It's a symbolism of being lustful for foreign cultures and gods.Assyria largely gets to skip out on any hatred despite snuffing out 10-11 of the 12 tribes, but given it's one tribe that survives and small hats are notoriously divisive among themselves if given a chance they were probably overjoyed to be rid of the others.People also just blur Canaan and Babylon together given the region has that Greco-Roman homogenizing going on. I can't tell you without checking elsewhere if it was Ishtar first or Astarte* first, probably ishtar.

>>544354526Yes, apparently flanks have 30% less MD and the rear has 60% less MD. I don't think it affects attack though which is why you still take casualties surrounding Saurus with spearmannii
>>544349121

And it's not like the Everchosen is some rigorous tradition that must abide by societal norm, it's just the Chaos gods pointing at whatever schmuck they feel has a good chance at ruining everything and everyone else just has to deal with it. And none of them have ever cared about the gender of who they favor.Bretonnia does miss out on the chance to ever tell those stories about women disguising themselves as men though.

>>544354526Yes but not really. Hitting a model from behind gives you much better chance of hitting it but this mostly just applies to single entity units.Units with multiple entities will just have the guys in the rear rank turn around to fight and now you're no longer hitting them in the rear.

>>544397254>40k
>>544397141Because you talk and they rub past each other and make that "scrrruffff-scruffff" soft fabric rubbing noice that I find really irritating.

>>544383607>>544392139You both are retards>female bretonnian knights have always been hinted at, because every so often they find a dead knight that was a woman(what did they mean by this)Theres a difference between hinting at and making it a common thing, its why Repanse and the few that come up are special, its not meant to be a normal thing.>queens were common in nehekhara, nefereta was one, youd have a point if it was liche priests, but no only first born sons were given to the clergy>Khalida and Neferata were queens at the same time and their legitimacy was never questionedNo one questioned that, in Khalidas backstory its stated female nobles are treated as inferior and not nearly as respected as male nobles, Neferata was a Tomb King noble but she was more important after leaving to become the first Vampire and had little to nothing to do with TK royalty after. As for Khalida's backstory, the whole reason she became respected and put on the same level as the male nobles in a primarily patriarchal faction was because she went the extra mile at everything she did that people could not just go>womanat her. new lore now states all female nobles are on the same level as male ones which means Neferatas struggle now is rendered null and void.>female emperor candidate has been around longer than youve been alive>and during the time of the 3 emperors one of them was a womanAgain, no one questioned this, the issue is the lengths they went to put her above the others in the lore, they clearly want you to cheer for her the most while turning the civil war into a retard contest.
Frog was right about the ironsides
Archaons kinda fucking boring huh? Once you've went and collected all the pokeball towers you can just repeatedly send endless waves of Lords south, doesnt matter if they die because you just recruit another and send it south and recruit on the way?
>>544403052Repanse is special because she was a peasant not because she was a woman -_-
>>544403052>Neferata was a Tomb King noble but she was more important after leaving to become the first Vampire and had little to nothing to do with TK royalty after.no, you fucking tourist, she was literally the queen of lahmia, she had absolute power, but was denied magic tutelage and got really pissy about it, thats literally the entire reason she became a vampire
>>544401321>when you install cheats it puts a small white dot in the corner of your screenOh, the modded game indicator. I just use reshade to cover that over with a dot overlay colour-matched to the surrounding pixels, it was bothering me.
>>544403213Ok but when are you not just going to have 3 ironsides instead of 3 handgunners in your main army
>>544403052"You both are retards" says anon that proceeds to spout a bunch of retarded verbal diarrhea.
>>544403520Its even more braindead if you ignore all the mortal factions and vassalize Wulfrik, Tamurkhan and Throgg along the way.In my campaign, I went to go confederate and get Kholeks trait and then vassalize both Norscan guys, saving Throgg from a wipe out then launching a coordinated attack on Kislev, both Katarin and Kosraltyn essentially died in 10 turns because they could not handle the overwhelming armies. Empire was a further cakewalk when Wulfrik took Erengrad and Tamurkhan took Kislev because now both of them could build up higher tiers. Very easy campaign, easier than Belakors.
>>544403907the empire is too weak, it needs a buff
>>544403786When are you just going to have one army? You can get more lords anon.
