I like The Beastmen
Thanquol soon, friends!
Are there half elves in this setting
>>544935578remebber the good days when your sisters of avelorn would do negative dmg to dwarfs in wh2 because they had fire resist and magic resist to negate magical attacks
I CLAIM THIS THREAD IN THE NAME OF THE TRUE PHOENIX KING!
>>544935747Speaking of rare Thanquols do you have the version of Thanquol with a gun?
>>544935578sissies get mogged by sharts
>>544936092Of course I do, friend.
>>544936519Can you post it? I think that's the only unique one I don't have saved
>>544936609I've already posted one Thanquol this thread, but I'll make an exception for you, friend.
>>544936062>I CLAIM THIS THREAD IN THE NAME OF THE TRU-ACKKKKK
>>544936519How many Thanquol variants exist in total?
>>544936743Thanks, friend.
>>544936790its funny because the last thing he saw was another man's penis
>>544935528Ostrogoth or the Visigoth are some of the easier, other than that are the Huns. Also, as WRE it's easier to play as pagan because the Huns has global morale reduction on their armies that stacked with their scare effect (-8 penalty in total probably), the initial churches also cost a lot of money, that's why you demolished all of it except in rome for recruiting priest.
>>544935907Working as intended.
>>544936970I only have 12 variants, friend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T9eWTvUg6APeople complain about the lack of late game challenge in warhammer 3 and that's a problem for most total war games, but if they did actually implement it it would suck because the game isn't balanced very well. Watch any late game video like this and it's total aids with level 50 lords that don't die and everyone has to use stacks of their most powerful units because early stuff is not even useful anymore at that point.
>>544936790>eaten by a trolllol. LMAO
>>544937521it really was, magical attacks used to be a more strategic choice instead of just being a generic buff
>>544937840Yeah, the Total War Warhammer series never had a fun Chaos Invasion endgame crisis
>>544937840Thats retarded, anon. YOU the player should be Op as fuck too when that lvl 50 lords with rank9 units start rolling in.But the real problem is, suddenly spawning OP armies at a set turn is just not fun. End game crisises(?) should be about campaign map.>Chaos portals from RoC campaign>Corruption>Diseases>Increasingly crippling debuffs that you should be fighting back by doing questsThis is the only kind of endgame would be fun and challenging. And midgame should be about getting OP items and building alliences.
>>544937840>dude le empire can recruit;...STEAM TANKS!!!Steam tanks suck ass nigga
>>544936790It's funny that the english language is so backwards that race and gender use the same word. No other language on this planet has this issue.
The most fun I have in this game is defending a settlement with a small garrison against a small attacking army.
>>544939918Yeah AI is much more suited to attacking than defending
https://youtu.be/4DgS6ftulrE
>>544939918Pretty miniscule if you compare it with the amount of the offensive siege.
>>544940743Behold! Not one but TWO stacks!
Volkmar the grave
>>544937840I favor the idea of hotseating for your campaign such that you can be your own endgame crisis. Build up an empire then switch to the underdog and try and defeat your prior faction.
40k is coming.
>>544942247Reminds me of that gamemode in stalker anomaly where when you die you respawn as a random npc present in the world. When combined with warfare mode you would get some interesting situations where you conquer a bunch of territory only to die and respawn as a shitty enemy patrol nearby or something. It was kind of broken and often just lead to unavoidable deaths though.

40k
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS NOT HAPPENING SHUT UP
It is
>>544943429Very cool idea for respawn. I'd dig that for a roguelike kinda situation - you die but you get to be something else.That's what I'd like to see with civil wars - make it so you get a flavorful difference in the civil war (ideological, religious, family based, ect) and so you pick who to favor based on your emergent storytelling.
Is it happening and there is nothing you can do to stop it. It is inevitable. The slow, inexorable march towards it's unveil continues.

Has /gsg/ returned to /vg/ what the fuck is going on??? Antireplyfags will NEVER WIN.

Weird how the posts suddenly stopped as soon as an anon mentioned /gsg/..
Huh
This is what /twg/ deserves.

gsgger bros we are winning!
man I give upattila is just fucking hard, manit runs like shit too, like it's a 9800x3d, a 4090 and 32gb ram and it runs about as good as mh wilds
>>544952135type in "attila performance fix" on total war reddit and it will greatly improve the performance as for the game itself, just build spearmen and defend towers, towers are op and 1 shot everybody (some friendly fire will happen but most of the shots will hit enemies)
Raided by autists
>Sexy (for a dwarf)
sneed about it twgcel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCRTUdarkuMThis is my favorite trailer because of the archaon shot at the endwww.youtube.com/watch?v=s4D42vMUSIMThis is also my favorite trailer, because when cao cao puts the chess pieces together is kinda coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sPbjHEnSDEAnd this is also my favorite trailer because the parts with the weeb rat are cool (I'm kind of a weeb myself, my favorite faction is clan oda from shogun 2)
>>544952448Does "launch Attila by launching Rome 2 and then selecting Attila from the launcher" method still work? I still don't know how the fuck they made their games so bad that launching a different game makes another one run better.
>>544942247Wouldn't work because the AI just immediately goes retarded when its empire gets too big.Endgame crises need to spawn armies because it bypasses the game's broken unit recruitment logic, which both doesn't work and lags the game when the AI has too much gold and too many options for recruitment.
>>544952135Shit performance aside, what's fucking you over?Attila is unforgiving and hard to learn but pretty easy to play once you figure it out.
>>544953787I never tried it, but when I did the performance fix I didn't have any problems after and could play on decently high settings with smooth fps
>>544948162This is why you play as the white huns
>>544953898You know, that "AI blobbing lategame" shit didnt happen during my latest campaign and i reached turn 125. Aı only blobbed to defened a position or to recruit for maximum 4 or 5 turns. There is a good chance of CA completely fixing that with 7.0. or 6.3.4
>>544954059I'm playing as the huns but I thought I was supposed to be steamrolling the world when attilla was born and I barely moved from the starting position
>>544952135It's a 32 bit game anon, that's the bottleneck. Rome 2 initially like that but then it received some performance improvements. Just turn down the shadow and download some performance improvement mod for battle.
>>544948162Attila was CA's first ever attempt at a pure horde campaign and it's obviously rough around the edges.The bright side is that unlike other games, the AI in Attila HATES resettling razed settlements so once you get the engine going you can genuinely just burn the whole map east to west and leave none alive.I don't particularly find horde campaigns fun in general and I think the Huns are pretty much the worst and most primitive implementation of the concept. The Migrators are more interesting if just because the option to settle and transition to a normal faction gives direction and purpose to your journey as a horde rather than just being homeless murderhobos.
also, I'm pretty sure that in Attila the ai won't ever recruit units that take 2 turns to recruit so once you get your elite units you are unstoppable
>>544955098Yeah but there's no harm in razing a few settlements on your way to Syria Palestinia
>>544954451They've been retarded in my campaign
>>544954846Only the AI gets the superbuffs when Attila is born, because the AI-controlled huns are the designated endgame crisis. When you control the huns you have to make it happen yourself.The first thing to understand is that your economy is strongly influenced by the fertility of the province you're in. Fertility sucks in the east, so move westward. You don't need to kill everyone you meet on the way, just get towards more fertile ground.The second thing is that your economy grows by razing settlements. Every time you raze, you get a flat amount of population, which goes towards unlocking more building slots, upgrading buildings (to unlock more of your roster) or making new hordes. Once you start being able to reliably win battles and raze settlements, you'll snowball quickly. It's all about momentum.Hordes generate more income while encamped and get penalties for sharing a province with another horde. All this means that you don't want the hordes with your economic buildings to ALSO be the hordes you fight with. You get it? You should try to have two hordes: one which has all the units and fights, and one which has all the eco and sits back tucked away somewhere safe. The fighting horde fights and razes, generating a lot of population. It uses that population to make a new horde and transfers all its units to that new horde. The new horde is now the fighting horde, and the old horde can spend the rest of its population on eco and retire to the backline. You'll quickly reach the point where your eco can sustain several fighting hordes at once and by then you're unstoppable.
The antireplyfags have been vanquished! Total ReplyGAWD VICTORY !!
>>544955959Well see thats because you're playing vanilla.
>>544955959I wonder if it's because of the skaven agent sitting on top of karak bhufdar, did they (claim to) fix that bug yet?
>>544956298No they said they're trying to fix it for next patch
AoS might be dumb as fuck, but I have to say, I'm rather partial to the idea of steam-trains of Khorne.
>>544956970there's a lot of cool stuff in AoS, but the magical realms thing ruins it for me and there is also a lot of not cool stuff
>>544956970I fogor pic.
MY LORD! Are we ready to play Total War: Star Wars?MY LORD of choice will be General Grevious!
>>544957098Yeah making the map nebulous and clear as a foggy window in a sauna was a poor decision, hard to relate to the lore when a lot of it is "this event happened over there somewhere" like the setting was planned using a crayon drawing made by a hyperactive toddler.
>>544958175It would be kino if you could see his model getting more lightsabers the more jedi generals he kills.
>>544958175Im a gungan main
Stupid Malekith war-decced and charged into me and got the shit kicked out of him. Why would he do that when the autoresolve even was showing Close Victory for myself before the battle? Surely the AI should avoid that?
>>544958175Sorry, sweetie, but it's gonna be during the sequel era
>>544958175At least lines of men standing in formation shooting at each other till they drop makes sense if the Trade Federation is involved.
>>544958607they call them cheats for a reason
>>544958821It doesn't matter, CA will have a brand new engine that can handle fortifications, trenches, cover, and building occupation for Total War Star Wars
THE DWARF GROWTH RATE IS TOO DAMN SLOW
>>544958978
>>544959031What? That's how HRTk will be made!
>>544959013If they really wanted to be true to the universe, Dwarfs would start out at tier 5 but would have a permanently negative growth rate
>>544958175>NuStar Warsnope
>>544958978>CA will have a brand new enginehahahahaha good joke anon
>>544959013it used to be slower before faggots like you cried about it
>>544959013Just take higher tier settlements off the other lot that share the world. Its quicker.
why not total war magic the gathering? plenty of units and realms to pick form there more than any other current game in exiztance.
POST ALARIELLE
>>544961389
Can someone tell me what is the current lore in AoS? Because I know its not just a magic the gathering ripoff anylonger and is just some weird nordic mythology shit with multiple realms and travelling between them
>>544962901current AoS lore has Kugath appearing to bend over and take a fat shart that spews crap everywhere, coating the whole setting in kilometers deep oceans of fecesimagine the smell
>>544963141thats hot
>>544962572she looks like a zombie
>>544963451Does this strange lady make you nervous?
>>544963561yes
>>544963687what if she took you in and gave you breakfast?
>>544963451Shes an elf-witch, shes supposed to make you feel uneasy.
>>544963561all women make me nervous
>>544963718i'd do it but be scared the whole time and i'd probably spill my orange juice
How do you use these little shits correctly? I keep blowing fucking holes in my own troops. : ( Is there a way to only make them fire on demand?
It's only turn 19 what's going on???
>>544964041>Is there a way to only make them fire on demand?turn off fire at will, which is the bow and arrow button underneath the unit card ui, then you can just right click any target you want them to throw at
Vlad is such a fucking pest to fight against
>>544963967what would you respond with when she asks if you come from a land down undah, where women glow and men plunder? cant you hear, cant you hear the thundah? you betta run, you betta take covah
loading up a Khatep campaign, gonna team with Grombrindal and wipe all elves off the face of the planet
>>544958978>source?
>>544964379thanks anon, I'll try that.
>>544964228sissy g*rmans getting dominated by hungarian BVLLS is what's going on
>>544964694I would do a 360 in my fried out kombi and drive away
>>544961140Its currently magic's gimmick to import lore not export it
total war final fantasy
>>54496499440k leaks imply a new engine that can actually handle 40k combat
>>544966740TCAL can't even optimize their og in house engine and you tell me they are gonna make a new one?
>>544966921maybe its UE5 derived
>>544966740>40k leaks imply a new engine that can actually handle 40k combat
>>544967486Ainz would stomp Nagash before Nagash even realized he was under attack
>>544967567>AinzGotta be honest, I hadnt a clue who it was, just assumed it was some AoS character.
>>544967486who betrays who first?
why dont CA gives the dwarfs their floaty balls?
>>544967567he's based on an epic level 3.5 ed sorcererbesides maybe discworld wizards, I shudder to think of a bigger liability to the safety of that plane of existence
>>544966740Reminder that the current engine started with fucking Empire.It can handle gunfighting and cover mechanics if needed.
>>544967971Have you ever tried to shoot fucking handgunners if theres any change in grade whatsoever?
>>544967687Nagash betrays Ainz, but Ainz, being an isekai character, is too strong for Nagash's first mundane attemptBut Nagash was scheming and the first betrayal was only a side-show and his REAL scheme took effect, but Ainz, being an isekai character, was too smart and knew that Nagash would have a second plan and his entire body is an illusion and so Nagash traps himself, but that was actually part of Nagash's plan because his REAL REAL scheme was to have him be absorbed into a container through Ainz's illusion to siphon off his power, but Ainz, being an isekai character, was too clever and had the illusion cast by someone else, but that was actually part of Nagash's plan too because his REAL REAL REAL scheme was....The scene pans out and cuts to Albedo and Vlad shaking hands and giving Mannfred swirlies in a locker room
Is Mannfred the son of Vlad and Isabella?
>>544968970yeah but my name's not mannfred
>>544968138I only play khorne
>>544968138guns are balanced by being unreliablethey would be too strong otherwise
>>544969427unironically thisit's unintentional but the end result is a wh2 rampage situation
>>544967971forget empire how were gunpowder units in medieval 2
IS there any campaign in Rome 2 that's decently challenging? I got the mod to give the AI big factions a larger chance to steamroll. I played Carthage on Hard and after the first 20 turns stabilized. Might do an Attila campaign. Also, this new captcha is gay and retarded.
Doing a Hannoid Carthage run having never played them before. I got the dignitaries instead of champaions embedded in my army for the mercenary upkeep reduction. That being said, I'm using noble swords, balaeric slingazz and noble numidian cav. Any other standout merc units I should be on the lookout for? Pretty fun so far honestly. Also, I buttfucked Libya on turn 1 because I hate sharing provinces.
>>544970524THIS IS TOTAL WAR MAKEDON CAMPAIGNDO IT
>>544971370i'm sorry i can only answer if this is r2 with the divide et impera mod
>>544972230Nah, vanilla with some mods. I have a newborn so I dont have time to learn DEI unfortunately. He'll be awake by the time I end one turn. Does DEI spawn real people like Hannibal and Scipio Africanus and the like? If so, I may have to check it out.
>took Troy as Odysseus>finally trek home (The Odyssey) to Ithaca>still havent won>turns out my agent was level 26 not 27Kind of a dumb requirement but whatever, was cool to have the boys raze Troy alongside me then realize the Trojan Horse fight is a solo fight
>>544972962yes they do spawn them, all factions have their famous generals spawn in during the time period
>>544973095Damn, that's kinda BADASS. There's too much mechanics to learn. Like it just throws you off the deep end. Dont feel like watching some nerd explain how to play it properly over a 6 hour long playlist.
>>544973497I have this same problem with DEIit seems cool but hard to get into
>>544973497well truth be told you can ignore most of the new stuff, but you do need to pay attention to your population classes for recruitment, and also make sure to build the yellow supply building everywhere. if you really want to cruise by with ease just build 2 green buildings, 1 of them a granary, and 1 purple happiness building, in every province. also i recommend to browse through the official submods as there are a lot of ways you can tweak the mod more to your liking
>>544974047in every province's minor settlement that is*
FAVORED DAUGHTER
What did Malekith mean by this?
>>544974549
Is Himyar any fun/good in Attila?
who cares?
sneed
Is Total War?
total war wakanda
Nurgle just isn't fun
If it's not a beastman it's not fun.
Lore of beasts just isn't fun
>>544982114why not
Always remember, within you is greatness. A skeleton worthy of serving Settra.
What's a good army comp for Kush? Do I just want to use shotel guys for my mainline and archers behind them?
>>544938104WH1 was alright
I care
Reading the Malus Darkblade books its really incredible how he wasn't killed by book 2 the guy faces like 400 beastman by himself not even in Tzarkan form and yet lives
>>544985242were they all ungors?
>>544985540No some of them were minotaurs and bestigors
>>544985624okay well that's just retarded then
>>544985738He also fights like 80 Dark Elves and survives also like 40 chaos infused northmen its crazy desu
>>544985242Reminder that Beastmen are a jobber race normally so this isnt much of a issue desu, for every Khazrak and Taurox you have some retarded ungors who are too stupid to fight properly
>>544985242thats because elves have have always strike first
>>544948162the worst part is that in the older games you cant move in encamp stance so the entire campaign is playing pixel hunt with movement while still being able to encamp
>>544952135https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1493472759the retards left the game with max level of detail models at all distances which is fixed by changing one row of numbers in less than 5 minutes
>>544962901Period of sigmarites expansion crusades suddenly ended due to a Skaven plot to ram horned rat's chaos domain into the Materium, which resulted in billions of rats he was breeding in the Warp to show up and everyone is trying to deal with that crisis.But most of current edition has actually been focused on catching up on warious background subfactions and making models for them rather than the main plot
>>544991504are the new models any good at least
i want to play some dwarfs, but i have little experience with themwhat is the most fun non-slayer-army way to play them and which LL should i start withplaying tall and defensive is preferable
>>544991636Up to you i guess
>>544991952green GODS and undead KANGZ looking good as usual
>>544991692Malakai is super easy but I'd start with Grombrindel his start is okay at least with Thogrim you're going to get bummed by Skaven and Goblins and Vampires and Orcs very early on but the easiest Dwarf faction is probably Thorek
>>544991952dafuq is the robot on the left
>>544994139the snotlord
>>544994139Demon engine
>recent stream had many empty promises from CA devs >reddit ate the slop upMan, Im done with this shit, Legend was right, Im done giving these devs money, all they do is keep promising then they never deliver...
>>544994576I'm going to buy every game and DLC twice to make up for the loss that CA will have due to you quitting buying their products.
>>544991952I hate the first, the rest are fine. The big problem is that because of the miniatures setting being, well miniature, they exaggerate the head bits. Like if you remove the top knot on those samurai skeletons (not in that pic) that nagash has, or the giant horns on the high elves, they aren't so bad.Hobgobbo charioteer is peak fantastic though
What is, in your opinion, the most fun Empire TW campaign?
>>544999171tw2 wulfhart vortex
>>544999171United Provinces
>>544991504Has Bretonnia appeared yet?
>>544999730That's the Flesh-eater Court.
>>544991952Helsmiths of Hashut DLC when?
>>544999820wot
Lightning strike should only delay reinforcements
>>545000290These guys are a crossover between Bretonnia and the Strigoi bloodline.
>>545000582Gay really REALLY gay
>>544999730People were hyping up the Nurgle update as Order of the Fly, which is basically brets but evil, but the Quest is apparently centred around a Rotigus cult, so unless the main releas is different then no
>>545000582>>545000630they arent, thats just someones headcanon
Stances were a mistake and a band-aid solution to bad AI.
>>545000990That's not even a head canon, it's straight up just a meme because both take from Arthurianslop as inspiration except one plays it straight and other parodies it
>>545001081except they dont even do that, theyre literally just insane and think theyre kings
>>545000990The Flesh Eater Courts larping as knights is canon, the connection to Bretonnia is fan theory
>>545001243Shit like this is very obviously supposed to refrence standard knigthly noble stuff except the joke it that it's all creepy gore
>>544994576wait you don't buy the main game then pirate the dlc??
>>545001803not really, every faction has their motifs

>>545001928Because I can scratch my ass at work for 10 minutes and get the dlc with that
>>545003730so you're willing to pay a company which hates you and breaks shit? I too work and use my money for good food, much better investment
>>544995759I actually like the cow the most because he has the most personality, like he's a very specific vision rather than just handwavy fantasy trope Or i just like furnace monsters. That might be a factor

>>545003961Yeah if I play it a lot which I doI don't give a shit if they hate me or not I care if the game is fun
>>545005160Why are white people like this?
>>545005071BASED
>>545000990They literally think they're regular knights, though, hence picrel. Whether they're Strigoi specifically or just an AoS equivalent I don't know.
>Answer my nitpicked image.No
>>545006332>Whether they're Strigoi specificallyThey're direct line from Ushoran who made the poor and starving drink his blood and eat his flesh turning them into his kin and sent them to spread the curse further

Ok What do you want to see most for the next games in the total war franchise.What are your hopes for the next historical and next fantasy?I want 40k and age of discovery, 40k focusing on spectacle and discovery focusing on a deep level of management and army building.
>>545009137Soulless Gobbla.
>>545011063>age of discovery"I love mirror battles"
>>545011171It's literally one of the most if not the most diverse period in history.
>>545011171>mirror battlesI mean, people keep calling for emp2 with no problem
>>545011730nta but would you care to elaborate? What would the variety look like?
>>545009013It isn't. If you control the shrine it means it's Asuryan's will. Only elves that don't care about it are the druchii.
>>545011904300 variants of spearmanii.
>>545011904You would new world factions + a bunch of weird experimental new tactics and weapons from Europe factions.Also a bigger presence from asian and African factions.Another interesting angle is how you'd get a transition to gunpowder in late game.
Is the Slaanesh mechanic of stealing units the best gimmick in the game? Turning a 20v20 into 22v18 seems a massive advantage
>>545012880Costs a bit innit
>>545013283Just like paying a whore for sex.
We need a new Napoleon game.
>>545013425No upkeep but all recruitment
>>545012639>African factionsNo buy
>>544964041I really liked them as flank guards when I was turtling up, especially early to mid campaign. Anything that tries to flank gets a faceful of fire and they were surprisingly good at holding the line until they could get extra support.
Yes my aryan brother, I too enjoy when there is no faction diversity in my total war games Let us express celebrate our purity with an act of sodomy on each other.
>>545013425This is a really good anology desu.
>>545000528Agreed
How the fuck is autoresolve predicting a "Phyrric Victory" with "High" casualties for me for this battle for fuck sake? I'm barely going to take any casualties fighting it, how much is it seriously overvaluing Chaos Warriors or those Marauder Horse?

>>545017618You mean you dont like playing 18 factions that are near identical copy/paste copies of each other? What are you, some sort of philistine?
>>544999171Here's a quick breakdown>AustriaLandlocked and surrounded by enemies, you'll be fighting to put put fires all game but by the time you've stabilized basically every major european power is dead. Their Line Infantry gets 25% more models and can just dogpile the enemy>PrussiaBasically the same as Austria but you have the best infantry in the game>Poland-LithuaniaLandlocked, Kill russia or kill germany. Your roster is super generic until you get to your lategame cavalry, but cav is shit in Empire>SwedenYou're forced into a cagematch with Russia on one side but you have access to the sea on the other to go expand into the oceans or the new world, as long as you can get around the English. Your dragoons have extra men and are strong enough to replace Line Infantry>EnglandWith the seas protecting you, you can go all-in on navy and colonialism. You have the strongest position in the Americas. Your ships are better than everyone else's and your infantry are second only to Prussia>FranceYou have the largest variety of elite units in the game but you're missing midgame artillery. Alsace-Lorraine is a chokepoint you can defend cheaply while you focus on colonialism. The game tells you to attack the Rhineland but that inevitably drags you into a grinding slog against all of Europe united against you.>United ProvincesNaturally positioned to dominate India and the East Indies but being a single-state power in Europe with only 1 port means you need a very strong presence to protect yourself. An enemy fleet suiciding into your port for a turn will bankrupt you. Otherwise this is the purest 'naval only' campaign you can play. You have a unique combat-tradeship that's equivalent to a 4th rate>SpainYour starting alliance with France makes your hearltand in europe safe so you can focus on colonialism. You have a unique combat-tradeship equivalent to a lategame lineship to dominate trade with.

>>545019076Doubt it, Caster Lords are always pure gagging for skill points as it is, wasting them on shite spells isnt going to help as much as buffs.
4 days.
>>545020639Cao Coa is the most powercrept lord in the history of TW.
>>545017618Funny you say this be because every warhammer campaign plays exactly the same after turn 20, you just swap skins
>>545020416The cowardly greenskins run to the brave men of Bretonnia to protect them from the forces of Chaos
>>545021025thats his bullshit campaign abilities not him soloing armies
>>545019650It only gets worse from here, friend. Spending 10 years with only one real joy in life leads to dark places when that thing no longer brings you joy. Playing other total war or warhammer games might help fill that void, at least for a little while.
>>544999171>>545020207>RussiaYou start destitute with massive borders to defend and limited access to the ocean. You're at war with the Ottomans but they're even poorer than you and their land is worthless so expanding there is a trap, kill Sweden instead. Your roster has a lot of unique low-tier units while your standard infantry has terrible shooting stats but extremely good melee stats. Autoresolve hates you.>Ottoman EmpireThe "I hate myself" option.Your roster is completely unique and also the worst in the game, consisting mostly of premodern melee garbage. Your line infantry equivalent is expensive and inferior and you're utterly destitute with a massive sprawling empire of worthless territory to defend while you're beset on all sides. You're shafted with the worst tradeship in the game and your naval roster is missing some of the lategame ships. If you can survive long enough, a unique midgame tech unlocks proper European-style units which makes you the strongest land force by far but you still need to be able to afford them and there's basically nowhere to expand that's worth a damn except right into the teeth of Europe.>MarathaThe most braindead easy campaign. You start in India facing off against a crumbling NPC faction that can't really put up a fight. Once you walk over them you have the whole subcontinent uncontested and your economy explodes. Your roster is unique but you have your own version of Line Infantry (which is better) out of the starting gate and the autoresolved is rigged in your favour. You have the bad tradeship but it doesn't matter because your position gives you completely free dominance of the East Indies and the Horn of Africa and you'll have infinite money before you've gone deep enough down the tech tree to spend it all.

I don't like khorne I have to keep moving as them but if I do that my units get beat up badly and if I want to heal them that angry meter goes down and gives me the little dick debuff.
>>545022195trvkehighly recommend exercise tho if only for the endorphins to take the edge off
I knew that Mammoth would be a good pickup for the Caravan, just charge it in ahead of the Centaurs and fuck up the vampire lord, battle over. They cant even stop the charge, just blasts right through anything. PRÖÖÖH!! :DD

>>544968970His background is a bit of a mystery. Vlad's had a couple different origins hinted at, with a bit of ambiguity cast over each, and there's no ambiguity at all where Isabella came from or who her family were. There's next to no info on where Mannfred came from. Unlike most other prominent vampires there simply are no specific details of when or where he was born. He's almost certainly not from Sylvania, and perhaps not even from the Empire. It's not even sure that Mannfred is his real name. "Von Carstein" definitely isn't the family name he was born with.
the game should do a better job of telling you when you can't use your gunner units because the shitty outsourced maps have a 5 inch incline that looks completely flat when not under a magnifying glass
>>545027206the worst is when only one nigga is poppin off because the rest are obstructed, but the unit is technically firing so the ui makes it look like they are not obstructed

>>545037542Based, but warp spiders are going to be dlc.
The fact that Slaangors are missing from the undivided rosters triggers my autism so hardI haven't been able to play Beastmen or Daemons of Chaos for a year because of this big stupid hole in their roster. The first thing I'm doing after ToT comes out is playing a Daniel campaign and burning the world

>>545038138same desu I've been wanting to play a modded beastmen campaign but can't until we get slaangors
>>545037759For me the biggest question is, will the baller Avatar of Khaine be in the base game or DLC.
>>545038426I think so, they'll leave the other titanic units for DLC.
>>545038426I think it will be in, they need a big centerpiece.I wonder if they will make titans, probably only the scout ones is my suspicioun
>>545038426KINO model.
>Avatar of Jobberlol
>>545038612Titans are for sure in, all the knight level shit is in.
>>545038840Does this motherfucker not exist in fantasy or something?Would be baller as a tier 5 unit
>>545038958>"I am the Bloody Handed G-ACK!"
>>545038612If DoW3 had titans, there's no reason why TW40k shouldn't.They probably won't be their actual scale, but they'll surely be used as the big centerpieces for DLC.
>>545039271Knights aren't titans
>>545038958All the more reason to add it firstSo it can be powercrept by everything else
>>545038958>>545039076It haven't jobbed in awhile now, Black library writers realized that they made it too pathetic to make someone look good for killing it.
in atilla is there a faction like beastmen that razes everything?
>>545041950The Huns and White Huns. You can't settle so it's either that or you turn everyone into tributary states.
>>545038958He stopped jobbing when he got his new model.
There is no better science than comparing human skull shapes.
>>545041950All factions CAN raze. Several barbarian factions begin as hordes and so can choose to just stay that way and play as a horde burning the map, and any barbarian faction can choose to abandon their settlements and begin a migration, transforming into a horde until they choose to settle again.The Huns and White Huns are the only obligatory horde factions, which cannot settle and must raze their way through the map. They also get a population boost whenever they raze, so it's the primary way to grow their hordes and advance through their building tiers.
>>545043467>They also get a population boost whenever they razewhat does CA mean by this?
Oh boy i sure love fighting wood elves, i FUCKING LOVE losing my entire frontline to their gay little army made up of 6 billion archers that do 1214 billion damage!
>>545043197>be physical anthropologist>spend entire career carefully studying the skull shapes of apes, early human ancestors and other related hominids>carefully document clear and identifiable differences in brainpan, brow ridges, jaw shape, dentition and muscle attachment points to understand lifestyle, survival strategy, diet, intelligence and to identify different subspecies and different points in evolutionary progression>at some point in human evolution this magically stops working because the truth is politically inconvenient.Makes you thing.
>>545043564historic accuracy
>>545043564It's supposed to represent the Huns taking the population of the razed settlement as their own. Historically, they absorbed eastern and central european tribes as they rampaged westward, snowballing into this colossal mob of germanic barbarians loosely under the command of a royal cabal of horsefuckers.That whole dynamic isn't well represented in game but the Huns basically grow and tech by razing and absorbing their victims.

Ok so stronger khorne armies are not as fun to fight as weaker ones were over 100 turns ago or at least when trying to monster mash them. I gotta run away and rethink my comp.

>>545058323Lay off the shrooms ya git!
>>545071213Ye ye, mock all you want. This campaign was cock and ball torture. Otomo got 6 provinces under 10 turns and was wailing on me for the entire earlygame. They also had two high rank missionaries which created 6 rebellions in the span of 3 turns. Almost the entirety of Kyushu was 100% Christian during this campaign, game bugged out and I never got the encountering Christian events. So I couldn't convert. Halfway through the campaign camera bugged too so I had to click on the map to move the camera.After that struggle was over I had to deal with Hattori with 14 provinces and Uesegi of all people having 20 fucking provinces. And 3 of my vassals betrayed me right before I became shogun so my victory condition was cockblocked and I barely managed to tard wrangle them back before the deadline.
>>545071213>>545072484Shimazu on Legendary is harder because of the AI cheats for the Otomo, however you should have counteracted Christianity with monks also>having vassals before Realm DivideYour biggest mistake

The fallacy I always fall into is when you are in the asset editor/tweak I am hyper fixated on details that are never really picked up given your high level view of the battlefield.I'm not sure what modding you were doing, but yeah you start to enjoy tinkering with it more than actually playing.
>>545070576>Lizardmen?>not funFaggot
>>545076697imagine the blowjobs
I play lizardmen because they have lasers and dinosaurs and those were two of my favorite things as a child.
>>545063752Gog>Magog
>>545077680>tfw no bible: total war
>>545077846isn't pharaoh's timeline the same as the old testament?
>>545075784Modding is what people do when they're burnt out from a game, but too stubborn to move on. So instead they spend all their time trying to turn the game into something it isn't. Constantly downloading new mods, endlessly checking their modlist, fixing the countless bugs and compatibility issues. Don't use mods, kids. The peace of mind you get from playing vanilla is truly priceless.
bros....kugath is actually pretty fun
>>545077846Pharaoh is the prequel to the Old Testament. The Hebrews and the Philistines weren't a thing yet but the game does hint at both of them - the Hibaru culture and the Peleset faction.
Soon
>>545078256Old testament timeline is squishier than the Iliad, where the overwhelming consensus is around 1200 or the early 12th century. I have to look it up myself, but it seems like David and Solomon are more circa 1000 BC. You can really divide the OT into three (or more) sections: Antedilluvian, Abraham to the settling of Canaan, and historical Israel. David and Solomon are the grey area between the last two - we do have some archaeological relic that references the house of David, but it's weaker than ~800BC where it gets more and more reliable. Like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Qarqar is a case where Ahab of Israel corresponds to the bible's. It also seems to suggest that Israel was one of the three big guys (בשבילך) in Canaan, given of the alliance only Damascus rivals it with 2400 chariots and horses. Now that I think about it Qarqar shows the bullshit of the twelve tribes when clearly only one tribe is mentioned at all (Judah sat out because Judah were a buncha of fence-sitting pussy ass bitches who ran to hide behind either Egypt or Assyria's skirt as was necessary).
>>545078256Old Testament takes place over a large spread of time
Fuckin sucks 40k total war will have a higher chance of having space battles before wh3 will have sea battles.
>>545076697you dont look like that
Tonight, the crying of CA kept me awake...and I had a terrible vision. I saw the fall of our general: (You)less posts under an autosaged thread; /twg/, gone! Why would Legend send such a vision? He is not cruel; he has watched over us. We have had victories aplenty in the /vg/ cup. Our posters sail to all corners of the board. Yet even now, I fear. I cannot help it. We are the envy of lesser generals. They tell terrible lies about us. They do not understand, so they lie. But the 40kucks, they are the masters of falsehood. Raids will come, I am sure of it. So. I will have no more false visions...and I think the shitposters will be quiet tonight...

>>545083605It won't have space battles.

>>545073992I think I learned my lession. Ass is straight up sore.
>>545090485It'll have a new engine.
>>545050017So the Imperial Guard?
Can someone explain Ogre camps to me? Do you lose all your shit when you pack them up to take elsewhere? What about camp level, does that reset? I dont feel its very well explained what the fuck you're supposed to do with them? Why isnt it just like a horde mechanic, that made far more sense.
>>545091602They're basically armies larping as settlements. They don't have any garrisons and instead rely on the armies you stick in them, which iirc can get upkeep reductions. You don't lose anything when packing them up, that's the point of packing them up.
>>545090485>>it won't finally filter out the cancer that killed /twg/ in the first place, fantasyfags!hahahahaha are you for fucking real right now?this general will be virtually unrecognizable after scififags flood ini presume it'll be something like company of heroes in space, except every faction appeals to nazishave fun dealing with that fanbase
Clio said fantasy is better than 40k
>>545090485>>it won't finally filter out the cancer that killed /twg/ in the first place, fantasyfags!I know this is bait but Warhammer Fantasy is infinitely less worse for the Total War community than 40K would beFantasy at least has some basis in historical content
>>545034376It's more of a movie about the French Revolution, so fuck your overrated fatass Italian logistican.
What's a fun faction for a comfy attila campaign?
>>545090594Do Takeda Next. Befriend the two larger clans to your south, head north and then east. ALways have 4 units of cav in your armies. Farms everywhere. Once you conquer Date, swing back around and betray your allies if they're there. Hojo and Tokogawa I think. Then you're ready for realm divide. Was a smooth campaign with lots of comfy battles. Just make sure you take out the Isuegi and be prepared for Ikki to declare on you, probably when your main fighting force is in the east.
>>545094092or you could just spam spearmanni and win the game with zero thought or strategy
>>545093752Franks, despite being labelled hard theyre rather easy and can easily take the Saxons capital with little issues and its a relatively safe start
>>545093752Necrons
>>545087787What's the context of these images?
Why would you play a historical Total War game?If you want to play a historical game, Paradox is RIGHT THERE
>>545095229/vp/ meme
>>545094314Franks are OK. I hate being near the viking nigs though. Last time I conquered britain and the damn Jutes who I vassalized kept settling shit that I wanted. Made for a very frustrating game of whack a mole.Any of the desert kangdoms any good? Bought the culture pack but never played them
>>545093065Why not call it fucking "Revolution!" then instead of fucking "Napoleon"?
>>545095854I destroy all of the vikings and take their lands as mine, as for sandniggers, you cant go wrong with Sassanids.
>DLC trailer has like 300k viewsI've made shitty meme vids that have more views.The previous DLCs have all had way more.COULD YOU HAVE PICKED A LESS INTERESTING LINEUP YOU FUCKING JOIN THE ACKSF U C KWE WILL NEVER GET A KINO END TIMES GAMEMODE BECAUSE OF THIS

Man, i'm trying to peace out with rome as carthage so they can tech up and we can have a kino end game, but they keep refusing, no matter how many wops I send to the deep. Have to had sunk atleast 10+ armies at this point.
>>545097775Who knew that Total War was so realistic?
>>545097775they will never stop attacking you unless one of you fully controls Magna Graecia, and even then, they probably won't stop attacking you because you've killed 20,000 people

>>545097643THE CHINESE LEAKER JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
>>545097919>>545097952For real, the med sea has turned to olive oil at this point. Gonna jst park my fleets there and not let them escape until I can get enough trade agreements to just buy them out. Gonna finish conquering Spain for the time being. At the point where nothing can rally threaten me, I wish rome 2 had more aggressive AI. They just wont declare on you once you're at a certain strength.

modding was worthanti-cheatsfags can suck it
just make sure to include the pixel of shame in your screenshots so we can ignore your posts
>>545106842You and me, anon.
Would GW actually allow modding for 40k Total War? Fantasy got away with it because it was in that murky Age of Sigmar transitional period, then got legacied in for the sequels.
I never fight a battle unless I have the strategic advantageDoes that make me a coward
>>545107678go and play some apocalypse mod, anonstupid AND fun
Kush or Saba for Rome 2? Never played either, but wan't to give them a go. Saba seems to have the more variety in terms of roster, and their Dam mechanic might be cool.
>>545107547TW Kantooooooo soon
>>545106842I've actually played a bunch of co-op campaigns in ME and IE, and my favourite was Beastmen + SkavenSpecifically, Ikit + whichever Raaroo starts near himThey have complimentary rosters, lore, start within one turn of each other, and don't really compete for the same settlements
>>545107547>quite clearly crushing hard on the boy>"WOW, BRAINROTTED FAGGOTS ARE TURNING IT INTO A ROMANCE THING, ITS JUST A PET">coomers show up and pour gasoline on the debateWhat a shame that Pokemon dug itself into a hole of mediocrity and a refusal to get sidegames made, all the DS games are peak Pokemon
>>545107993>Total War: PokemonIt would sell so much it would bankrupt the entire world Economy. Blackrock can't let it happen. Such a concept is too powerful.
>>545108125Honestly, I thought it was cute and yeah...obviously some romantic elements.Cmon, its a feminine extremely human creature that loves the protag and evolves into a wedding dress wearing woman. The fuck?It was wholesome though and can still be kid friendly. Coomers get the rope.

>>545108790have you forgotten the rapers, I mean rapists, I mean molestors, I mean politicians, I mean fimir?
>>545109523>My fellow Imperials, the Empire will not survive unless we accept the Fimir refugees- Changelingstien, 2019
>>544935789In early editions there were, but afaik they were basically dropped as a concept later on.
why aren't there undead goblins or dwarfs or elves or chinamen
>>544937354>Also, as WRE it's easier to play as pagan because the Huns has global morale reduction on their armies that stacked with their scare effect (-8 penalty in total probably)I consider paganism to be a bit of a trap honestly. The initial advantage of better sanitation and lower building upkeep is certainly there, but pagan buildings are also super food intensive, and that only becomes more and more of a problem as the campaign wears on.Demolishing most of your churches on turn 1 is absolutely stood play, but I this far have found it best to at least remain nominally Christian.
>>545110710????
>>545110984well I mean on the vampire counts side
>>545111005dwarfs are too stubborn to be properly reanimatedthey just attack you if you try

if you tell me demons arent in the base game for 40k when they're all right fucking there Im going to shit on cas roof
>lived to see banner lord not only release, but get naval combat before total war warhammer Something ain’t right with ca
>>545111005CA and GW both are just too lazy to make other skelly typesThey do exist but dorf/elf undead are much rarer because dorfs are stubborn even in death and elves are just too gay to come back. Orc/gobbo undead are used pretty often

>>545122587>Oi me fellow ra-roos, 'tis the season again, lets go whack sum ratsKino beastjannies mopping up rats for free.
Doesn't 40k have a real problem with unit diversity? Like in fantasy all the races are vastly different, but in 40k it's >Space marines: pick your color edition>Space Marines (female)>Space Marines (evil)>Army men>OrcsTyranids are the only actually interesting race in 40k
>>545126092No, you don't get it, blue mehreenmanii are vastly different from red mehreenmanii.
>>545126092No?Did you not realize that every fantasy race is also in 40k? There are space elves and space orks and spa e dwarves and space dark elves and space chaos and space kangz and so on.40k is just fantasy in space but what if great swords could beat chosen
>>545126638So true sister, a khorne berserker plays exactly the same as eliminators with bolt snipers which plays exactly the same as a raptor with a jumppack, a techmarine, or a terminatorLiterally all the same thing
trying to fight ghorst with ai mods is the most painful shit i swear to god
ive taken the southern mountains as thorekdo we venture north and (attempt to) destroy skarbrand or south and deal with the vampire menace before they grow out of control?
>>545095854The desert guys are all worthwhile and super unique.The Jews have a divergent roster depending on which religion you pick and a unique dam structure.The spicebros have a completely unique roster. Arabia is basically a self-contained campaign map and you'll spend most of the game as either of the above slowly dominating it to monopolize all the spice ports.The horde guys have unique horde mechanics and a scripted narrative campaign that basically guides you to topple and replace the ERE. Their roster has unique shielded heavy pikes and amazing cavalry so it's basically Rome 1 Macedonia.
>>545126825>what if great swords could beat chosenThis is why space marines are shit compared to the empirePower fantasy wankery instead of the empire being an against-all-odds underdog scraping by on grit, ingenuity, and whatever the writers can come up with at the time
>>545127585Oh don't you like generic baldmcfuck solo killing an avatar of khaine?perhaps a swarmlord?
>>545127453You should have rushed to take Lahmia for unique item piece and then sell it to Khalida.Then go after Queek.
>>545127585Imperial Guard are the Empire stand-in. SM are Kislev
>>545126092Name a fantasy universe with more diversity than 40k.
>>545127953SM are Bretonnia, Marines are Grail Knights
>>545095854>Any of the desert kangdoms any good?It's the best (faction) DLC in the game. All of the factions are fantastic. The Tanukhids in particular are a very unique one, a different spin on the horde system, and also possibly one of if not the most challenging faction in Attila.
>>545127953Nobody gives a fuck about Kislev, they're the setting for a Gotrek and Felix novel and that's it
>>545127973Unironically Game Of Thrones
>>545129117
>>545129172There's alot of unit diversity in GoT desu like a shitload but to be fair I dont know shit about 40k so *shrug*
>>545061102big elf dude enabled cheat codes on ulthuan so now demons have to play on baby mode
>>545127973Warcraft?
>>545090485this is todd level lies>gamebryo version number 571 is a new engine
>>545130025It will be a new engine because it will use UE5 to render the graphics
>>545127973Star Wars/Trek?
So what'll the cope be when the new fantasy game ISNT 40k?
>>545130287But it is 40K
>>545126092unit variety is a meme for spectacle retardslineholdermanii (short) and lineholdermanii (pointy ears) is the same exact shit with different visuals
>>545130287If it's WH4 it will unironically flop because there's nothing it could possibly offer players that would entice them away from 3.There's really no other marketable fantasy franchise with a license within CAs budget. It's 40k or nothing
>>545130409It could very well be LOTR or something it could be an OC Fantasy title too who said its licensed? CA could've made up their own fantasy bullshit
>>545130371That's what I would say if I was playing a shit setting like 40k too
>>545130112
>>545130679its true for all total war games and shogun 2 which is a literal mirror match with incredibly tiny differences here and there is an excellent game while wh3 for example has huge variety but is still shit
unit depth>unit variety
>>545131513Depends on who you talk to. The cattle (the people these games are designed for) would say otherwise.
pike & shot total war when
>>545130508Brother LOTR is in the midst of the most expensive TV series of all time, and most of the reason for that cost is the license. CA does not have Netflix money.
>>544961389hey
>>545105207You cant ally with something that spreads the wrong sort of corruption.
>>545135374you literally can but ok
What ability do dark elf lords and heroes have that once they charge into your units they can instantly delete like 3 or 4 units of spearmen?
Fuck me, I just got absolutely clowned on as Ogres by some vampire twat who was using ethereal units. Just couldn't kill the bastarding things, ate through my army one ogre squad at a time. Whats good at mincing ethereal units? Just magical attacks?
>>545135552ogres have lots of magic, including a firebelly
>>545129304Read a wiki article about the imperium of man. It has so much variety it’s broken down into a multitude of factions. Imperial guard, space marines, custodes, sisters of battle, mechanicum, the grey knights, titans are all on the tabletop.Then you have ones that are hard to represent like the imperial navy, the navigators.There’s so much variety that games workshop can’t keep up with the demand for other imperial factions like arbites.THen there’s rogue traders, noble houses etc
>>545127973There really isn't, it's an old ass game with constant updates, most other franchises just have an old setting with maybe an update here and there between 10 years.From a business perspective 40k is the perfect DLC machine, by the time the game actually launches 11th edition will be here with even more shit to add, I do wonder where they'll drawn the line here.They could easily go to 13th edition with DLC but I guess that would be way too much of a task, maybe they'll just stop at 11th.
>>545135543Army ability from rite. 3 uses per battle and its fucking devastating. You have to send a hero or lord (after 45 secs) so they can activate. But after your lines meet you will suffer casualties.
As Cathay should I be fielding mostly numerous, strong frontline with some backup to plug holes, and then only a few archer units that attempt to use all their ammo up?It feels like my frontline is collapsing too much with a 50:50 split between jade warriors and missile infPlease give me a QRD on the dragon faction I am very stupid at this game
>>545127973Literally anything.40kek is deep as a puddle
>>545124509https://youtu.be/1JtuxmEiYl4?si=B-cxY_caYFkXVh9QIt mindbroke /a/
>>545138491>can’t name one
>>545138797Dune
>>5451382255 ranged units who actually get to shoot will always be more effective than 10 stuck in melee.This varies a bit between factions, but as a rule of thumb, you want a 2:1 ratio of melee to ranged.As for the faction, you want a line of Jade warriors to pin the enemy while your missiles and magic do the actual damage. You might want some cav or flyers to take out enemy artillery, but don't go too heave on them. Also get some artillery of your own, if only to force the enemy to approach you.
>>545138826Were you hoping the person you replied to hasn’t read every single Herbert book and most of the shit ones from other authors? Dune has less variety in its entire timespan in total than a single 40k faction in the current time period.

>>545138874Are Cathay grand cannons actually good? Or should I always be using fire rain rockets
>>545138618That was adorable.
DRAWCHADS DRAW SOME KINO!
>>545139253Good to start out with and better in some niche cases like single entities. But you wanna go for the rockets once you can get them.
>>545139421Kino kino kino kino
>>545127973wh/40k are not creative universesthey are fluff which excuses existence to help sell plasticthere is no rhyme or reason, neither ending planned nor catharsis availableit is a never-ending slogfest of grimdark and grimdarker, and this "diversity" you speak of looks flashy but is tangentially creative at bestwhich makes it perfect for 3d printers and cashgrab videogamesbut dont go acting like it's good lmao
>>545139518Delusions of grandeur and approaching word salad. Go see a mental health professional.
>>545139518this
>>545139253nta but fire rain rockets are overrated because they do nothing that magic and cannons can't do, and if you really want the rockets sky junks are better despite having less dps because you can get a good angle incathay cannons are good because they have a small firing arc to them, high range, and they penatrate targets so they do more damage to infantry than you would expect if they are bunched up, but of course they are better suited for monsters/cavrockets are easier to use and still quite string though which is why they are so popular
A tiny slice of the massive unit variety in 40k:https://youtube.com/watch?v=96YX83HenrQ
>>545139589shuttup retard
Do tablesloppers actually expect to get all this ""variety"" in a total war game? Are they stupid?
>>545139796uhm sweatie its called DLC okay?
It's funny I managed to conf the orc warboss of Karak 8 Peaks and he and his units got 0 upkeep
>>545106842I love Playing as Kemmler and allying with all the chaos friends, althought it used to be harder because monogods weren't included in his bonus relation passive.Some vampire spells actually works on living creatures like danse macabre.
>>545139796You said it has no variety now you are saying it has so much that the devs won’t be able to implement all of it.Warp speed capitulation.
>>545140318Stop being a schizo
>>545140359The only schizo here is the retard spamming that 40k will never happen and that it cannot work as a TW game for over a year straight, all because legendoftotalwar predicts 40k is the next game.

>>545141228>>545141335>>545141370Oh.. Still, how would the game even work? seems like they would have to completely re design entire aspects, like what would the map/overworld even look like? A galaxy? A system? Somehow have everyone on the same planet "isolated" with some lore bullshit?
