Thanquol soon, friends!
40k soon, BROTHERS!
>>545795060>Morathi is even olderSource?
>>54579564940k total was would just be the dawn of war series, and 4 fucking sucked so good luck seeing more besides remasters.
imagine both the games they reveal on the 4th are some random garbage nobody cares about
>>545794514Kino incoming
>>545796002being his mom retard bro
>>545796224Imagine? Anon thats whats going to happen lol.
>>545796402A likely story
Anyone got that petition image of Dechala saved?
>try Kislev>have to refund the game because I can no longer afford anything
>>545794514looks goodThird Age Total War might finally have a successor
>>545794292Is this the Miao Ying yoga pants artist
>>545796816
>>545796126It would be the Total War series.
I think Medieval 3 reveal is more likely than 40K.
>>545798995They'll reveal both a fantasy and a historical game anon, wake up!
>>545796224Valrak is literally doing a stream the 4th december for the 40K reveal.
Historical game: Total War: DiadochiFantasy game: Total War: Discworld
>>545796402
>>545798018
LUTHOR HARKON SHOOTS YOUR HISTORICAL GAME
>>545796224The only ones most hurt by it would be CA themselves.
Foreigner explain this! Why does your god cavort with the enemy of Grand Cathay?
>>545799630>Historical game: Total War: Diadochii would like that over med3 tbqh
haha guys remember remember remember when uhm reddit elf (good) beat other reddit elf (bad) (voldemort) (darth vader)?
>>545800441It was Sigmar so it was the very earliest dawn of human civilization in the Old World so they still had no idea what rat ass bastards dark elves are.They probably learned after that meeting.
>>545800441Sigmar does not recognize the state of ulthuan
>>545800591meds
>>545800591Yeah I remember when Malekith beat Tyrion.
>>545800620Cease your forked tongue ,foreigner! Do not anger the dragon!
>>545800591landmark
>>545800441Big deal, Malekith knew Sigmar. Dude know literal gods, was friends with one. It's just another day for him.
>>545801547>there's a non-zero chance Sigmar banged MorathiI don't know how to feel about this.
So i am replaying old total war games and napoleon’s europe campaign on hardest difficulty is some absolutely insane shit. How to i fight endless waves of autistic austrians and prussians while keeping an eye out for the conniving eternal anglo? No matter what I do i feel stretched too thin, any battle tips? I assume prussia will always declare ok you no matter what? This is way harder than any warhammer campaign, your general can die to a stray shot jeez
>>545800591>white elf!>black elf!>White elf!!>Black elf!!>WHITE ELF!!!>BLACK ELF!!!zzz agreed
>>545801778Would Sigmar be a good father-in-law?
>>545798550I was thinking of the version with the petitions shopped on the paper, but thanks
>>545802156Here you go bro. Don't forget to sign it.
>>545772376How soI don't know anything about him other than he's the kangz' super necromancer
>>545802272Thanks!
>>545802328He's basically everything cringe about AoS put into a Fantasy character.
ikit players will hang
>>545801960Maybe you'll appreciate napoopon a bit more as a general now ok buddy?
>turned 26 todayFor my birthday wish, I wish the Bretonnia rework isn't botched
Saars will be dissapointed when 4th of december will reveal...NOTHING
>>545802328Problem with Nagash is that he jumps too many power levels that kind of didn't make sense and he gets vamped/wanked off too much. He could've been just an uber powerful lich who created modern necromancy and it would've been kosher, but at some point it was decided that fagash had to be an uber powerful death god, eating his own pantheon etc
>>545803713Bro we already know CA is on the Warhammer show.
>>545803787proof?Valrakku-kun saying something isn't proof
>>545803652haha look at this old loser fuck you old personbitch
>w-we totally got proof guyz!
Kugath and a nurgling doomstack explode out of your assAre you winning this fight?
>>545803713Go home to your family, dude
>>545803894>Playing unc-coded games You get what you deserve
>>545803750>establish in old lore Khaine knew necromancy before elves even existed>make Nagash get explosive diarrhea when he comes in contact with Khaine and drop that plot >pretend it's Morr and the other gods of death that are somehow related to undeath to avoid any conflict with Khaine>make Nagash eat the gods that SPECIFICALLY can't reanimate the dead>tell everyone this actually makes him stronger in summoning the deadI hate ET so much I can't express it in human words.
>>545804209Sars this doesn't look good....
>>545803750If the lore was consistent Nagash would die to the Nehekaran lore of light in a second.
>>545803894NTA, but I'm 27.You're mother and I are very disappointed in you son. Stop bullying your elders on the internet.
>>545803652Bretonnia already had 3 reworks. Nothing can fix them they are just shit by nature of being Bretonnian.
>>545803894>26 is oldI'm 33
>>545803750>ET lore
>>54580508131 here. I only play Tomb Kings nowadays, it's the only faction I identify with...
Do people actually post on 4channel above 25?
>>545799993To think it all started with Repanse here
i kill people
>>545805501The very first DLC TWW1 got was based only on ET lore. More have followed.
>>545805607Yes. Have you never seen the "30+ year" threads on /v/?>t.28 year old
>>545800587You will probably have to wait for Rome 3.
>>545806071>Rome 3VGH....
>>545805607Some people have been here since you were suckling yo momma's titties, son
>>545805607the young are so cutely innocentyou're here forever too, dont forget that
>>545805534Fun fact, Malekith, Be'lakor, Morathi, Lizardmen LLs (excluding maybe Tehenhauin) are older than Settra and the Kangs in general. Also Orion, Durthu, Coeddil, Drycha, Kholek, and IIRC most if not all Cathay Dragons. Astragoth Zoolahoo is also of a similar age to Kangs, but it's impossible to confirm if he's older or younger to Settra, but definitely was at least around the last dynasty or two.
>>545799993>>545805803I am very tired of this American obsession with arseholes.
>>545807001People of darker complexions are know to exhibit such tendencies.
>>5458056074chan is alot like prison
>>545808278Not at all, you can leave at any time
>>545808475*you can check out any time you like, But you can never leave
>>545808726We're like the guy who got released in shawshank and ended up killing himself a couple of days after being free.
recommand me a game while we wait for ToT
>>545807001I am very tired of this euro obsession with America.
>>545809106Learn algebra.
>>545809106Skyrim
>>545809306no>>545809330"NO!"
>>545809106I'm playing Mass Effect trilogy right now. I'll try to finish it before dlc is out.
Is battlelfeet gothic good?
wait is aislinn like a horde faction or somethinglike a ghetto nakai>>545809106expedition 33 so you can imagine what brettonia would be like if it was good
Play Pharaoh
>>545810989Sir, this is a Total War: Warhammer 3 general
>>545805607I'm 33You cant leave this place unless you figure out how to be a normalfagIf you're a normalfag, why are you even here?
>franchise is in such a bad state the thread is more likely to talk about other games
>>545810470The first one is. Second less so due to some weird development drama
>>545810470Pretty good as long as you turn down the invasion frequency in the difficulty modifier. Campaign wise the 2nd is better but it has less ship customization, and can be unstable sometimes because easy anti cheat.
>>545809106Dirt 2
Whats this dragon encounter thing about then?
>>545817753It's the number of turns until the next dragon encounter happens
>>545813226Go cry about it to your cuckbabys mum sweetheart.
>>545817753probably the number of turns until next dragon encounter
>>545817753probably has to do with encountering a dragon, maybe a timer of some sort?
is there ever a reason to take the dragon buff over fighting them?
>>545821682one of the buffs is 20 armor piercing damage and 60% armor piercing missile damage to all armies for 10 turns. There is literally absolutely nothing else this strong for anyone.
I'm stuck with the ancient I5 9400F and a 1660 Super. Medium settings are OK for battles, but the campaign map chugs and lags like hell.What systems, settings and FPS are you getting?
>>545824249I'm on an overclocked Ryzen 5800X3D with a 4070 and the campaign map still chugs, I dont think its fixable.
>>545800587It was beyond silly to not have done a Diadochi expansion. It would have been doable and plenty popular, and wrath of sparta shows they weren't singleminded to Rome. >>545810989I'm modding for it. Depending on what a guy says I might have the linothoraxes to make my 'homerize the campaign map visuals/units' possible. But it's also with a hanging sword of damocles over my head with if CA announces medieval 3 and it's got the shit I want to work on right out the gate I will bounce to that whenever it comes out.
Why aren't you guys playing EU5 like Legend told us to?
Alarielle needs a complete rework
>>545830640what do you have in mind?
>>545830865She can seduce Male lords into fighting for her similar to slaanesh
>>545828716I'm not playing a paradox game at launch, gtfo. Gotta get at least a couple of DLC into it before its an worthwhile upgrade from the previous title in the series.
>>545831002Tyrion wouldn't like that...
should i let the drooki rapefugees in /twg/?
The first post in 22 minutes and it's not even Total War.Grim.
>>545832970yes

>>545796002Morathi is from his parents generation.Hellebron and Alith Anar are from his chldren generation (he have no children, just to be clear).
skaven assassins really are just jackasses, also surprised the maneaters even survived, they got taken down to 1 figure and were just hiding behind a cliff until I noticed them at the very end

AI Bretonnia is strong because of how hard the game cheats oh you play Bretonnia? One guy will get stuck and you wont push past a goblin the AI plays Bretonnia and somehow they push past braced spearmen into your backline

>>545809179People seethe over the peoples who surpass them. Especially Brits. It's why Americans seethe so much about even the most trivial news from China, even though China still has a long way to go. The possibility of them being the next superpower is enough.
Undead general.
>>545857560what, nobody seethes about china, outside of the constant espionage, they know theyre a paper tiger, i think the average person is more concerned with israel or russia

I really wish CA would implement better AI than "Run at you in a straight line"Are there any mods that change up the battle AI at all?Or is that lost knowledge
>>545873637None that work well.
>>545873637No, CA needs to rebuild the AI from the ground up.
>>545873637The AI, deep down, still thinks it's playing Empire.
>>545873710>>545873734Hopefully they have a new engine for whatever they reveal in December then
>>545873823Don't keep your hopes up.
>start arbal campaign>autoresolve the ogre camp on turn 2>crash>fight it manually>no crashwell fuck you too then
>>545873823ChatGPT powered AI coming right up

>>545873637The AI has never been good but it arguably peaked in Napoleon or in Attila and has been getting progressively worse since
>>545877863
>>545879932It was such an epic girl power moment when she stabbed him
I AM THE BEST DLC, IT WAS PROMISED!

>>545877942>>545878969>>545879932Achilles died because of Apollo, not because of anything P*ris did he would have missed his shot without the help
>>545880864Yeah like it didn't make greenskins and ogres OP?Wtf???
>>545881137apollo killed brad pitt?
>>545880864I think even CA was ashemed of that one. Especially after ToD. Thats why they keep delaying ToT.

>>545884025Two weeks.
Sayl is going to be a warrior-spellcaster that rides a mammoth.How will you deal with that?
>>545881179All the units are now rebalanced to fit mp balance so it's not as OP as it was on launch.
>>545884257i will kick his faggot head in with Skarbrand
>>545884385>All the units are now rebalanced to fit mp balanceThis is bad because... well it just is ok??
>>545884257>le big target
>>545880864SoC was a mess. ToD was great. Omens was mediocre. What does this means for ToT?
>>545884257Just like they did in the bookYou shoot him.
>>545884884Opposite of mediocre so pretty good?
>>545884257Is that it? Surely he also needs a mortis engine (stronger) and a nuke ability?
>>545884884Bottom tier trash.
>>545884547Never said it's bad. But we have to stop pretending the DLC is anywhere as OP as it was on release.
Oh boy! DLC for HelfzzzzzzzzHUH? Oh! Right! We're getting DLC for NorszzzzzzzzzzzzzWhu- Woah!Is that some Helf Slaanezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*snoring*
>>545886331The gunpowder goon has given his biting commentary
>>545884547If unit is balanced for MP, its imbalanced in campaign after tech buffs. Furthermore MP operates on different assumptions than SP on what is good performance (for example unit that inflicts more damage than it is worth but gets mauled in the process is good in MP but bad in SP), so balancing with MP in mind inherently leads to worse SP balance. Catering to 0,1% of playerbase at the detriment of 99,9% is just bad business.
>>545886943Well then the tech simply needs to be buffed instead of the imbalanced shit it isNot MPChads fault that you guys don't demand that from CA
>>545886943Every unit in this game is balanced for MP first the generic tech tree bonuses are also informed by this. Only thing that can make a unit OP is unique lord mechanics and abilities not the tech tree.
>>545881309should have for that travesty of a film
>>545886943This.SP has to consider>a unit's longevity, because it will persist in the campaign after a given battle, and may even be needed to fight multiple battles consecutively.>a unit's upkeep, which matters far more in singleplayer than its one-time recruitment cost>what tier a unit is, when it is recruitable, what tech and structures are necessary to recruit it, etc.>campaign buffs a unit may get from passives, tech, general abilities and events>WoM usage, since it is a campaign-persistent limited resource>how well suited the unit is for field battles, chokepoint battles, unwalled settlement battles and walled sieges>how optimal that unit is in a 20/40-unit stack, because SP battles are almost always between full stacks regardless of the gold cost within.A good example of this friction is missile units.In multiplayer, a missile unit is limited by its ammo. It expends its ammo and then is effectively eliminated from the battle, or it's pressured by the enemy and never gets the opportunity to expend its ammo. Missile units need to be strong in MP because you can only spare to have a few of them and still have enough frontline to give them the opportunity to expend their ammo and because they need to be able to deal their gold value's worth in damageBy comparison, in singleplayer a missile unit restocks its ammo after every battle and can inflict all of its damage in a battle without exposing itself to casualties. For a ranged unit to be pull its weight in SP, it just needs to inflict casualties/damage equivalent to one unit on the enemy side. Armies that are majority ranged units are viable in SP as certain factions, because the efficiency of dealing all of your damage with minimal casualties, and thus being able to repeatedly face battles consecutively without waiting for replenishment, makes them incredibly efficient.
tca will lose the zoomer vote
>>545888003The direct consequence of this is that ranged units, which have traditionally been balanced carefully considering how efficient they can be in singleplayer, were buffed repeatedly in warhammer to help balance their opportunity cost in multiplayer. As a result, many missile units are too efficient in singleplayer campaigns, and their factions have been warped around the power and efficiency of archer/crossbow/gunpowder doomstacks.
How do I make it 100% And I got the mods to do it on I just want to make it 100%.

>>545889929I doubt they would go through the hell of making multiple games and trying to keep balance and patch parity between then.The tech to update the same game for years and years isn't new by this point.Just look at Paradox games or Fortnite.

>>545889929Tau are a big candidate for early inclusion just because they're one of the few xenos unit rosters that aren't a glorified endgame crisis.Obviously launch will have Eldar and Orks. Necron and Tyranid are big candidates for early DLC but they're both basically crisis-tier threats. Tau are a good candidate because they're unique (unlike Dark Eldar just being an unpopular subfaction) and flesh out the map without being an apocalyptic enemy the way that Tyranid or Chaos are.
>>545894134Wrong
>>545893681Not really.Bow Ashigaru are the kings of Shogun 2's combat and bow cavalry are basically just foot archers that move fast but have like 1/3 of the models. They don't have any innate damage advantages to offset the lower model count and really the only situation where being an archer unit that moves fast is an advantage is when kiting cavalry, but kiting is weird and inconsistent in Shogun 2 and cavalry isn't really that threatening.In other games, the real advantage of bow cavalry is that they can easily circle around to circumvent shields blocking missiles, but nothing in Shogun 2 is shielded.
Bruh, low tier germanic troops are glass cannons. I'm just gfoing to use early game cohors/legios as Ostrogoths cause the axe boys just fold to the AI spamming ranged/skirmisher units.
>>545894637They should have canonically looked like this

>>545889047Yari Samurai exist to suck... for some reason. CA just really couldn't find a role for this unit despite how small S2's rosters are. Matchlock units just kill more than archers. Samurai all have armour that gives them an extra saving roll when they're hit by bows, reducing the casualties taken. Naginata Samurai also have an additional roll to survive on top of that. Matchlocks ignore this value, making them more lethal against lategame samurai armies than archers.Matchlock Ashigaru have miserable reload speed so they're really only good for the initial volley. I think their sustained DPS is actually lower than bows but they can basically delete a charging unit of samurai if you time that volley right, because their accuracy increases with distance. They also get a massive RoF buff when defending castle walls, which make them the absolute best unit to garrison with.Matchlock Samurai have much better RoF and cleanly beat all bow units in killing powerPortugese Tercio are both the strongest ranged unit in the game and also comparable to Naginata Samurai in melee but they're exclusive to the Otomo.All matchlocks have a significant range disadvantage vs bows, especially the special elite bows with extra range and since Ashigaru don't have any missile resistance there's really no advantage to using guns against them.You'll understand their strength/weaknesses and their roll in the battlefield better if you play as the Otomo, who get them from the start of the game. For anyone else I think the campaign is basically over before you unlock them, and by that point your archers have so many buffs and chevrons that there's no reason to bother.
FUCK just realized it's still NovemberGotta wait a whole month for that drop
>>545893681no they're trashyari cavalry and takeda fire cavalry are kangkatana cavalry aren't good for charges but great after those two have charged the enemy alreadyin fall of the samurai revolver cavalry are broken, they're similar to pistoliers or outriders with grenade launchers at max chevron

Date of Shimazu for the better campaign experience/unit effectiveness? I see Date are all about the no dachi charge and get bulletproof niggas, whereas the Shimazu can pump out better katana samurai and get the hand cannons.
>>545895949ThisYou use matchlocks only with Otomo and matchlock ashigarus hold the line until you can afford your first Huetuguese Tercio doomstackEven better if you recruit them in a maxed gunsmith province, there's none in Kyushu but there's one near Mori territory
>>545893856>e-celeb trash who said total war 40k was being announced at the skulls event lmao

>>545896246I hope 40k and Med3 run on knives.
>>545896759Shimazu start on Tutorial Island with both a blacksmith and fletcher province so you can just turtle there and build up doomstacks in safety. The provinces in the north of the map are fuckhuge and it'll take several turns to get from one town to another, drastically slowing your early expansion as Date.

Decided to settle in Panonia as the Ostrogoths turn 2. Been fighting a food deficit and trying to keep Stilcho's army away from me whilst I try and get my situation stabalized.

>>545908557Actually hes probably 3x as old as the average /twg/ toddler since liking and playing Slophammer is the equivalent of not having your balls dropped or having chopped them off like a troon manchild
>>545908690let's talk about this >>545794514Which faction will you start with?
Is Empire a good game?https://youtu.be/RNg_XMOMoX8?si=tUz9P7R3gr7HXvMK
So does this mean all Legend has to do to make sure 40k TW doesnt happen is make a video saying the game leaked?
>>545908890No but it's interesting.
>>545908769wdym "and"?
>>545908890It's terrible, truly direIt's my favorite
>>545904215This video is so hard to follow what the fuck is he talking about? Was he on drugs when he made this?

>>545908890Sharpe is an amazing series but I can never rewatch it. The amount of bullshit he has to deal with annoyed me to the point I wanted to break my monitor.
>>545909031It's quite simple, Legend laid out a masterful trap that CA fell for, oblivious of the danger they found themselves in while they wildly pivoted. But Pivot all they like, they only wormed themselves deeper into the trap, exposing themselves as frauds and Legend as a true strategic genius.Do you understand now?
>pyrrhic victory>low casualtieseh?????
>>545909195Watch Hornblower instead, sailing ships are cooler anyway.
>>545904215LEGEND WON
>>545904215So he has an artwork of unknown origin and it coincides with the IMDB page where any old smuck can edit. How the fuck is this a proof?
>>545909031He's reached levels of cope previously thought impossible
>>545909302Legend vs CA
>>545909157Very good, but also conversely:https://youtu.be/ONMEwDdatSM?si=GyjmsdmFRW4yuu73
Well, sir, on first sighting the Pivot, I naturally gave the order to Pivot. That's my style, sir
What did Legend lie about? I'm not watching the video.
funniest thing is he's going to get away with this. That fucker who shocked his dog showed that ecelebs can get away with anything as long as they do it with confidence. Fucking amazing.
>>545909302took it out of curiosity, that was like a close victory type of casualtynever seen those two before, pyrrhic and low casualties
>>545907314This is one of those people that should have taken a break from any form of social media a long time ago. Hope he gets better.

>>545794514Why would anyone not play Rohan?
>>545908890I feel like Sharpe is the only pro-redcoat piece of media in existence
>>545909626he said that!
>>545904215Lords of Shang Yang art apparently, from Legend's video.
>>545909649Gondor exists
>>545909375Also Taoyan was IIRC known about at this point in time and on imdb, so if you were making a fake leak to feed to Legend, you'd include something like her. But no, clearly it makes more sense that CA pivoted less than two weeks after he released the video and released an animated monster that explicitly wasn't part of the DLC when we can clearly see how fast those guys work after Hyenas bit the dust
>>545909784>g*ndorGross. You don't even have a king.
>>545909902Gondor needs no KANG
>>545909031He never mentioned a legendary hero, Taoyan the Merciless in the original EXPOSED video so the CA would not PURGE the records.That was not an accident, nor oversight. That was tactical AND strategic GENIUS.Legend outmaneuvered CA like Hannibal at Cannae, he encircled them with screenshots, pinned their lies, and annihilated their front line of damage control interns. Legend of Total War? More like the Scourge of Assembly.
>Volound>Soitek>Legendwhy are our lolcows so good /twg/?This is clown-kino of the highest ordercan other generals even compete?Through the sheer power of the Pivot, the Wheelchair and the Pear, we outdo them all
>>545909871Taoyan thing as I understood was a trap, he deliberately did not mention her, because...Uh...
>>545910091N-no he's not a lolcow that was a really important video...
So CA was able to scrap an entire DLC 'pivot' to another one and then, release another DLC in the same year but now when they have no DLC to scrap they're able to only release a single dlc a year?
>>545909512>get away with itEveryone makes fun of this millionaire commie fuck now which is the biggest blow you can deal to a narcissist like him, unlike him, Legends on the good guys side.
So let me get this straight. He thinks that CA scrapped an entire dlc to harm his reputation?
>>545910091kek
>>545904215What if TCAL also does this shit to Valarak? They don't reveal 40K when they were supposed to.
>>545909457CA PIVOTED WITH THEIR LIVES SIR, AS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE
>>545910237Maybe TCAL is also doing this to SEGA, they don't earn money when they were supposed to.
>>545909649Because I'm a man of Arnor, and thats who I amThough I adore the lament of the Rohirrim (/the wanderer), almost as much as this >>545909452
why are you retards saying TCAL instead of CA?
Ca losted legend wonnered deal with it
>>545904215Pivot of Total Pivot pivotly pivoted pivots when Pivotive Pivotembly pivoted they'd pivot a pivot-c of three Capivot pivotary pivots, which he pivots made Pivotive Pivotembly pivot to a pivot pivot and pivot Pivots of Pivot inpivot.Have you ever heard the Pivot of Darth Legend of Total War?I thought not, its not a pivot the Jedi would tell you.Darth Legend was E-celeb of Total War, so powerful in the shilling he could use his words to pivot people into false hope. He had such a presence he even claimed to make Total War pivot around his words. The egotistical side of fame is a pathway to many delusions some consider to be mental illness. He became so full of himseslf... the only thing he was afraid of was being wrong, which eventually, of course, he was. Unfortunately, he went on about fake leaks after being cut out for the 10th time, then his fanbase realized he was full of shit. Ironic. He could pivot himself, but not others.
>>545910167but he still has his cult following and his income, he never faced consequences for his action. Of course, what legend did is not nearly as bad as what hasan did, but he still should get some flak for it. Instead he gets to change the narrative with some bullshit and even make it look like a win.
>>545907132Because I dont want to go to Spain or Africa and wanted to see if it's possible to do it. I want to be able to hold back the hordes on the front line and pick apart WRE for expansion. The problem is, you start off broke with shitty armies aside from 6 units of gothic warband (which melt away to ranged fire).

>>545904215I'm not sure why I should even give a shit? I thought he was fucking away on off anyway? Why would I even care that a big streamer had info on a leak?
>>545909763I dont like it.
>>545910181to steelman him. He thinks the community reaction to the leaks showed CA that the DLC would not be popular and so they scrapped it and pivoted

>>545909650Pretty much all media covering the Napoleonic wars is pro British.
I saw Pivot of Total Pivot here at a disaster battle in Pivotsbane yesterday. I pivoted how cool it was to pivot him in person, but I didn’t want to pivot a pivot and pivot him and ask him for leaks or anything.He said, “Oh, like you’re pivoting now?”I was taken apivot, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “Thanks for the superchat” and pivoting in place. As I pivoted to walk away and continue with my shoppivoting, I heard him clicking a mouse at 70 pivots per second. When I came to payvot for my stuff up front I saw him trying to pivot out the doors with like fifty door hinges in his hands without payvoting.The girl at the pivotster was very nice about it and pivotsional, and was like “Sir, you need to payvot for those first.” At first he kept pivotending to be in a livestream and not hear her, but eventually pivoted back around and pivoted them to the counter.When she took one of the hinges and commented he must be doing remodeling to need so many, he stopped her and told her to call each one a pivot as she scanned them “to pivot your linguistics to new levels,” and then pivoted around and pivoted a single eye shut at me. At this point I can hardly believe pivot is a real word. After she scanned each door pivot and pivoted them in a bag and started to pivot to the price, he kept interrupivoting her by pivoting the payvotment pivotcessor.

>>545911782He's the biggest Total War youtuber so thats probably why. I always got the impression he was an ass from his videos though. He has a lot of subtle digs players in his "Saving a disaster" videos. He does also love to weaponize the community and then play the victim when it bites him.
>>545912357but isn't he claiming his leak was NOT a leak at all, but instead a made-up deception concocted by his twisted mind just for the occasion?The fact that CA was working on Basheera and Mung the Terrible at the time can't be both false and true at the same time, which is it?A deception or reality?

If he made his point in a minute, people would click off the video and it would sound unbelievable. He has to take his time explaining, but naturally overdoes it since that's his entire job
>>545913302kek. Who watches this shit?
Not sure if you heard, but after Omens of Destruction dropped, people literally found Leering Devils and Mung the Brutal in the game files of that DLC. So there is evidence of the work they did on the Lords of Shang Yang in the game itself.Under the folders: Parent Files>animations>audio>battle>Huminoid13>ogre>dual_pistols>missile_attack you can find files listed as:"hu13_leering_devil_dual_pistols_missile_attack_01" which are ranged weapon animations for a Dual-Pistol unit. Leering Devils are also mentioned in the variantmeshes with the the Cathay race tag: (cth_leering_devils)And under: database>battle>fragments is mention of Leering Devil Mournfang Crossbow and axe units.I've also seen people say Mung the Brutal is in the game files with Golgfag's Model representing him, but I can't find the exact file location at the moment.Not sure if they're still in the current build, but all this is to say: Omens of Destruction itself already vindicated the fact that these leaks were true, at least in part.
>>545913290You're late bitch. :^)
>>545912705I think a big problem is that someone declared war on you.Usually you have a neighbor or two who slowly start hating you, until they declare war.And then there's another mechanic where "the player has been at peace for too long on Very Hard, some neighbor should declare war".If you're lucky, these two things happen with the same neighbor.If you're unlucky one neighbor declares war because you can never be at peace, and a different neighbor declares war because of the hate.>how do I avoid this?You should always be the first to declare war, as soon as possible, and not get declared on.You should also NOT just "declare war", but instead you find an enemy of that faction, you "offer to join war" and in exchange you get a non-aggression pact or some good cash.This way you start the war with someone else alongside you (2v1) and you also have a bunch of money.You do this with the right enemy, very soon, and this way you make sure that you're immediately at war, so the only AI who will attack you is the AI who actually hates you, and not a random neighbor that was chosen just to end your era of peace....also, be SUPER careful with diplomacy: if Archaon and Arbaal have a trade agreement, and you attack one of them, the other will go to war with you sooner or later.One last thing: if you attack Epidemius in the late game, it's not that bad.If you attack Arbaal in the late game, it's a nightmare.So you should attack the bigger problem first.

BY SAYING SCHLONG-YONG WASNT REAL, AND THAT CA PIVOTS ON HIS WORDS, CA WILL NOW PIVOT TO MAKE DICK-YICK REAL TO SPITE LEGENDTHEN YOU'LL KNOW LEGEND OF TOTAL PIVOT WAS RIGHT EVEN WHEN HE PIVOTED WRONG
LEGEND WON
>>545913517I've figured that might be happening but Epikdemius declared war the same turn I took the capital of the starter province, so I thought I was clearI'm fucking them all anyways I've since realized this is the doom slayer campaign
THE PIVOTS, MASON
>>545912156If you havent taken Archaon out immediately after securing your starting region you completely did it wrong
CA should make a hero in the game and call it "Legend" but make it have really really shit stats. That would really rustle Legends jimmies. And make its slightly overweight and mildly balding on the crown on his head too.
>>545909031Basically he made up a fake leak (Shang Yang) over few pics leaked by him of some CA intern regarding the future Cathay planned DLC content >>545909763Response from his fake leak tho were so bad that CA chickened out and unironically pivoted the whatever Cathay DLC they were planning to make sure anyone could claim anything Legend said about the leak was true
>>545913476>after Omens of Destruction dropped, people literally found Leering Devils and Mung the BrutalOnly Leering Devils got in with OoD files. Mung's files were found after SoC dropped.
>>545914131Got it, he will be raped first
>>545913964Frankly when I played Boris I played on the RoC map and attacked the Orcs to the West, and fucked off next to blessed Kislev immediately, I ain't spending a whole campaign in rampage mode.As an aside, I find that it is very useful in scorched earth campaigns to sell settlements and raze them without rebuilding it to leave buffer areas.I usually do this with anything on a coast line because as soon as you have a port every fucking nation on the coast sees you and starts diplomacy with you (usually for threats and war declarations).

>>545913446retards who want validation for their political beliefs that's mostly what political youtubers do, make a video titled "[insert country or political party your audience doesn't like] IS COLLAPSING" with a thumbnail of a political leader looking sad and then spend 15 minutes looking over some biased online sources that confirm your audience's preconceived notions and the algorithm will feed your video to the retards who crave validation for their political beliefsand that's how according to youtube China, America, the Republicans, the Democrats, the EU, the UK, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Iran and many others are all on the verge of collapse and civil war and losing the war and have been for the past ten years dramaslop just works

>>545915584Read the books
>>545912251They really planned a Shang Yang leak. Legend made a fake leak over It and a couple of names of LLs and LHs originally planned for It.The outrage from his video fake leak was so bad tho that CA shitted their pants and scapped whatever they Indeed planned for the next Cathay DLC (that was still going to be centered about Shang-Yang in some ways, but nothing else can be said) and to try frame Legend as a liar
>>545913964What the fuck he just threw his glaive in its head and then the bear started ripping him upThat was a Bloodreaper...

>>545915881Oh there goes the Herald too
You guys are the reason we don't have more Cathay DLC.
>>545916136Good. Other factions are more interesting

LEGEND WONDOUBTERS LOSTCA LOSTNON-WHITES LOSTHEROIC VICTORY
>>545914404Always take Archaon out first, after that the campaign is a reaction-based one, usually I take Arbaal out next because Tamurkhan doesnt immediately declare war on me and Arbaals a pain in the ass. Hopefully either Kholek can hold out long enough for you to wipe out Arbaal then pivot back towards Tamurkhan to take him out, once had a scenario where Kholek wiped Tamurkhan out as I made my way back North. Along the way Daniel will be annoying as fuck but DO NOT expand towards him because Malus is there, recruit a Witch Lord general and put her at your capital, Daniel will constantly keep sending enemies your way and a stack of Kossars led by an Ice Witch should handle him easily while you clean up Tamurkhan/Kholek. After that I usually rush back up North (Grimgor almost always leaves me alone) and head towards Kislev which is usually razed to the ground by Azazel and Clan Moulder. Very fun campaign but its also a lot of risk/reward. Boris is really strong especially once he gets on his bear.
>>545916350It's like that scene of the Joker blowing up the hospital, except the Joker is Legend and there is no bang and he just looks at us in clown makeup and says "trust me, a hospital blew up just as I pressed this button! That's how my twisted plan takes shape! You may now gasp at my genius!"
Yes-yes, CA pivoted, scrapped a year worth of work and then proceeded to show key artwork and animation of a unit which was not mentioned in l*gend's leaks in just 1 week. And then CA managed to release a completely different dlc under 6 months WHILE working on ToD improvements and other reworks.Yeah...
>>545911495>>545910649Scott's Devoted make less sense imo as they have tentacles on their heads, meaning they are literally demons (and their special rules seems to indicate that their are not) or mutated elves (and lore say no, you have to be Anoinred tier for that).Aso you forgot the purple version (see pic).

>>545917991there is a surprising amount of retards who try to break games as much as possible no matter how unfun or time consuming the process to do so isthe same retards are often anti modding and treat the game as some masterpiece they are playing the "intended" way instead of just fixing it with mods

>>545920106Why aren't you just playing TW Empire then?
>>545919585Is TOW really that bad? Never really looked into it but I thought the general reception was that it was "okay"
>>545919054if Baldmaxxing unc is saying the truth then he realized that the upcoming DLC had nothing wrong with it; Dogs of War was also coming after that, and nobody would have minded....So he invented a fully made up third dlc (Monkey King + Li Dao), that he NEVER provided proof of, not even now.With the invention of this third DLC, he created the fake issue that "two out of three of the upcoming DLC are Cathay".Once Legend had fabricated this lie, he could rile up the community and push a campaign of hatred entirely built on a wrong premise.
>>545920406Talk like a normal person you stupid nigger faggot
>>545920397it is Warhammer Fantasy 9th edition (but all your favorite characters are dead and there are more women).Still, the new Marauders show that ToW is being pushed in a more CHUDDY direction, and people will like it more as a result.

>>545920670>all your favorite characters are deadTOW takes place centuries before most of them are born
is there NO way to make arrows stay in the ground for the whole battle in w3? How was this a thing in medieval fucking 2 but not warhammer 3? What's the latest TW game with permanently stuck arrows? I can't fucking play without my arrows..
Are any of you guys preparing a meme arsenal of content shitting on 40K deniers?
>>545920495DUDE RACISM LMAOthat normal enough for you?
>>545920406maybe, i didn't phrase it correctly. why would CA pull the plug on a almost done dlc just because legend of total gay leaked the thing? that seems like the most retarded idea ever
>>545920495You'll get your green card eventually
>>545920760I don't really get it, his video didnt prove anything at all? He was just rambling and insisting that everything was according to keikaku. Is that really all sloptubers need to do? Confidently claim they are correct?
>>545920759counter charge them and try to establish a coherent line. Your skirmishers are always at the back so pull them into the middle and have your melee charge the enemy to give you time to create form battle lines

>>545920397It's Fantasy but with DEI. Bretonnia now has a 50/50 of female and male grail knights. Empire is ruled by women. Every faction is expected to get updated Cathay-like mixed gender troops too. It's a joke.
>>545920397In order to "explain" Cathy it swings a retcon hammer hitting everyone else.Sigmar and whites needed to be tought everything by Chinese travers.Slann are no longer best mages, chinese dragons are.Cathy gunpowder is better than dwarfs.It goes on and on dragging down every other faction.Oh and Bretonians are inot little boys now
>>545921171>Bretonnia now has a 50/50 of female and male grail knights. Empire is ruled by women
>>545920971what I was trying to say is that the whole point of the leak was a campaign of hate and despair, you're missing a step:it's not this:>leak >then CA changes all plansit's this>leak + malicious lies >then campaign of hate >then CA changes all plansin other words, "if unc is saying the truth" in that last video, then it means he was intentionally stirring shit as much as possible and riling people up on purpose (with lies) until he was sure CA would be forced to change course.As a side note, it's not a good look because it means if he's saying the truth now, then it means that he was pushing lies back then (Li Dao + Monkey King third DLC)
Nobody here unironically believes Legend, right? A company like CA can't pivot so easily. Not to mention anything regarding Cathay goes through GW
>>545921364It already was via Lahmians, this is just more overt. Not even WHFB was safe from the power of vampire puss

does anyone know if you can edit the game files to make arrows last longer in the ground(in any of the recent tw games)? I know it was possible in other tw's.
>>545921514your right, the vid baths him in a worse light than CA, if you think about it like that. i still don't get the>until he was sure CA would be forced to change coursebreaking under the pressure of that seems too far fetched to me, even if he was and still is the biggest total war streamer
>ctrl+f pivot>163 resultsPlease calm down.
>>545922256Pivoting this thread, with no posters
>>545921543no, it's impossible.That would mean that Dechala and Golgfag are repurposed, and out of nowhere in two years CA was capable of completing Skulltaker's DLC + Gorbad's DLC + Aislinn's DLC + Sayl's DLC.If it was just two factions, it could be believable.But they can't fucking pivot and make four factions in two years from scratch, with units and also Arbaal and Masque, all with unique mechanics, it's just insane.We all know that CA are hard workers and they work fast (rotflmao) but this is too much
>>545920106EmpGOD
>>545922256You fell into my trap and I shall now pivot.
>>545921990exactly. In fact, soldiering should be purely a female occupation.
Alright let's change subjects. Are you team Invisigirl or Blonde Blazer?
>>545919382>>545919585It will be TWW but wit hsome different LL / faction + nostalgia.>>545920397They are made because one (1) BL book have female knight character.
>>545922205*even if he was and still is the biggest total war schemer
>>545922205I'm entertaining the notion that he may be telling the truth, but I do not believe so.If he is telling the truth then he must have also been posting with puppet reddit accounts and review bombing with puppet steam accounts and sending death threats to employees while also coordinating influencers against CA.It's an insane thing even for him, the only thing that would have pushed CA to change plans would be an intense, intense campaign like this. I don't believe it happened, but if it did Legend is a psychopath, I hope he's just lying.
>>545922546frontline soldiers should exclusively be female so males can shoot over them
sorry I doubted you pivotchads.
>>545922064they have triple digit bmis and 75% have vitiligo
Any tips for a Slaanesh playthrough with their LL I've already forgot the name of? I've just realized I've never actually got around to playing them before, never gave their seduction gimmick a go.
>>545922546
>>545922939It's been rough but I'm glad I stuck to my pivot position.
I'd really appreciate an answer boys. What's the last game in the franchise where you had arrows permanently stuck in the ground without disappearing? I know it seems dumb, but it's a really big fucking deal to me, do anyone of the newer games have this tech? I know the last game that had this tech was shogun 2, but I'd rather play a newer game..
>>545922895Shoot...what over them anon? Bucketloads of it?
>>545923029Crucial question: do you have the Champions of Chaos DLC?Because otherwise you have to fight against anti-large spam for 50 turns and all your good units are large
>>545923227>Shoot...what over themHochland long rifles, of course.
>>545922064
Legend is either legit insane or trolling us. The latter is more likely
>>545923383>Legend using the "h-haha jokes on you I was merely pretending to be retarded"Yep, thats a genuine retard

>>545923304Yeah, got them all. Whats good? >>545924026So really try and run absolutely everything down?
>>545925380there are thousands of people playing this game and not two of them can agree on what "fixing the sieges" means.Everyone just says that sieges are bad and sieges are shit and nobody can agree on what should be done.So what do YOU mean with "fixed"?you want them like Warhammer 2?Minor settlement battles are pretty much gone from the game, so maybe you already like that?
>>545925531really? I thought they were working on it, and getting rid of auto ladders?
>>545925718nta but I want them to be like M2, R2, Attila or if that's impossible for modern CA back to WH2
>>545925639Despite Empires flaw, it pushed a lot of things and became the foundations (which ca ditched because they were too complex for shithammer brains) for many good things. And rome 2 got fixed eventually.Meanwhile not a single Warhammer title has been fixed over all these years, which explains why shithammer fags hate it so much yet can't stop playing like the natural cucks they are
Nah, I'd pivot.
Just when I thought maybe, just maybe, the obscenely stupid shit was slowing down and we at a minimum, had a marketing cycle to work with for the next 4 weeks, this happens.

>>545925337I'm pretty sure medieval 2 had such a mod. But why do you even want it? It will hog resources
>>545925705You want heavy infantry against the Elves - remember they have archers, spearmen and archer+spearmen and pretty much nothing else.So large units like N'Kari or cavalry can't be your openers without becoming pincushions.Get those Chaos Warriors of Slaanesh and no Elf will be able to stand in your way.This will be especially nice in sieges, that otherwise are a painful slog where N'Kari eats a thanksgiving dinner of arrows.Also the Lore of Slaanesh is somewhat underwhelming.
I don't read cringy fantasy bargain bin books, but did any of the LLs die before end times? And is even half of them relevant at all? Because a lot of them sounds like they were just random footnote padding

>>545926167Many of them are dead, some of them recently (Tamurkhan), some of them a few years ago (Grom the Paunch), some of them a LONG time ago (Gorbad, Repanse) and some of them are characters from antiquity (Tehenahuin).In this game they're all alive and well.There are also characters that are "footnotes" but they are not the dead characters: Gorbad is dead and is way more important than Alberic, who is a bargain bin padding footnote.
>>545926149it's incredibly immersive. It's worth the cpu hit because the scene of a battlefield riddled with arrows and corpses is a thing of beauty.
>>545926413It's a wall of pink because the icons were invented for Daniel or Be'Lakor or Champions of Chaos where you have the different colors mixed

if total war 40k is real im going to print out a picture of katarin and miao ying and tribute it
>>545869181I think hes going to struggle. Hes moving into a completely different game space that's already pretty populated with creators who have literally thousands more hours then him in games. I dont know every Total War creator but Legend was a bit of a big fish in a small pond.
So I got done watching the video and connected the dots unlike the Legendfags and antiLegendfags, it was a bit of a chore because the way he explains it is so poorly done.>the timingFor some reason both camps (pro and antis) think this coincides with Thrones of Decay, it doesnt, its actually the time period after ToD came out, before OoD was even announced to us. The original video in question. https://youtu.be/noqmOn8lxZk>the claimIn this video, Legend does point out the Tigermen and Ogres that were related to Cathay, the so-called Lords of Shang Yang, in the video I linked above, Legend claims to have leaked the entire roster except for one character he intentionally didnt want to say, obviously it was a shit roster but then after this leak they showcased Omens of Destruction, which basically caused everyone (including the antis) to clown on Legend, its where the pivot comes from because Legend doubled down.>the falloutFor some reason, Legend doesnt bring this up, but dataminers that did look into the files of OoD did find files related to the units Legend leaked, why he didnt include this in his video is beyond me but the IMDB page for the unnamed character he hid alongside the leaked units being shown in the files of the game supports his claims.>speculationNow, in my opinion, everyone hated Omens of Destruction and its by far some of the laziest shit TCA ever put out for WH3. They took forever to even show the Greenskins and the focus seemed to be on Khorne and the Ogres before the trailers and more info came out, same thing has kind of happened with ToT and High Elves barely getting their shit in after 2 delays. Lords of Shang Yang was also going to be a 2race thing if Tigermen and Ogres were respectively going to be the only 2 options. I dont think Legend is fully right, but he did expose what I believe was TCAs plans to go back to 2 race packs, which is a scummy as fuck move especially with no price drop
>>545924997I met Legend and Volound at a Renaissance fair a while ago, I went with my Cathay ideas. When I approached them Legend looked at me then at my DLC concept and said "The fuck you doing with this stupid shit? Scrap this shit or get reviewbombed you whore.", I was completely shocked and didn't know if he was joking so I stood in silence just not sure of what to say. Then a voice was heard from behind him "Oi Legend yew gots 'nother 'ivot?", "Yeah Volound, this one looks like a complete hearsay, his DLC is pretty shitty though, I'd fuck its development", "Oi ye, 'ow's 'bout 'e shol' 'ake CA 'ivot 'n 'ey'd know 'ow much'a 'eaker y'are". Right at that moment Legend jumped onto rumors and started recording, I tried to stop him but Volound jumped on me and held me down he started whispering in my ear "Et's 'unna 'ivot an' y'caint do noothin' 'bout et!", I watched on in horror as my DLC idea was read offscreen as Legend read superchats and made up nonsensical plans, someone was trying to ask for proof but Legend just kept getting two dollar donations. Legend looked at me and mouthed the word "Pivot", It was like a silent movie, I watched as Legend then proceeded to edit IMDB and claim this was a trap. Volound who was still holding me down started to squeal into my ear "'E's 'ot'a 'ake'm 'ivot", he started to pivot my nipple as far as it could go, and I could feel blood trickling from it onto my shirt, I felt what I can assume was Volound's response video pushing into my back... I blacked out.
>>545926330I just don't want it to flop so they abandon the game before Thanquol and Nagash
>>545925718I want them like shogun 2 actually. 3d sieges in towns and cities.

>>545927119What an odd copypasta
>>545926113God dam it, so they are giving us more dlc but the game won't even be fixed. remove the ladders at least man.make only monsters be able to break walls its not that hard.
>>545921329>Cathy gunpowder is better than dwarfs>collapses way before the empire and even dwarfsDid Miao offshore the whole industry to Ind or smth?
>>545927036What was Legends Leaked roster for the DLC?
thoughts on Troy? Worth playing? I have a free copy.
Fuck me will people shut up about that attention seeking twat? I swear one of you IS Legend and just keeps posting shite about yourself.
>>545927784Legend says it's shit
>>545926905Are you ready for,VULKAN LIVES.
>>545927036Listen here Grok, you should have spent more time reading the thread and less watching videos1. Nobody thinks this coincides with Thrones of Decay2. Lords of Shangyang was a single race pack according to Legend, with all three factions being variants of Cathay. That part, completely made up by him and unsubstantiated to this day, was a huge reason for backlash.3. Also, the other two DLCs mentioned by Legend are essentially made up with zero proof.4. read above >>545922424 and stop believing Legend
>>5459278982 more months.
Dont mind me
>>545810989The best thing Pharaoh does is the small province improvement points and attrition doing damage as armies move and not just end their turn. If improvements were made less tedious to defend I'd want both systems in warhammer
Is this obnoxious lurid pink fog going to be in every Slannesh battle?
>>545927898why don't you start a conversation about the game instead of whining
>>545927898*attention seeking cunthe's australian
>>545928130>attrition doing damage as armies move and not just end their turnAttila also does this to a more dangerous degree desu because random patches of snow and swamps in provinces will cause attrition, its pretty nice
>>545928167no, only when you have high corruption. It's bad for your eyes but good for your disciple armies
>>545927962Genuinely I would be hyped if TW 40k were announced because I have no clue how CA would adapt the setting for TW and that means I have no expectations to be disappointed by
>>545928097>Legend read an unused asset in the game files and built a story around ita Legend, if you will.I like the fact that this is listed as an Ogre unit and not Cathay, contradicting his "Cathay subfaction of Ogres" narrative
>>545927784It's basically a trimmed down WH2 where everyone's unit roster is limited to variations of "men in loinchloth" wielding either stone clubs, throwing rocks or sharpened sticks. I found it dull as shit and the campaign as deep as a puddle
I wonder how long it'll take for Legend to come back after he 'quits'
>>545927784Needs the mythos DLC and even with the mythos DLC, I find the base rosters kind of lacking, but other than that its fun, I feel like, having played both Troy and Pharaoh, it prioritizes grabbing giant batches of resources rather than taking trade deals of resources per turn, both games require you to handle its 4X resources however.
I AM NOT CRAZYI know they pivoted. I KNEW it was Lords of Shang Yang
>>545928010Nah, I think Paradox content focus will be killing his channel and then he'll pivot back to TW. Maybe he'll make a "just as planned" video to why him coming back is just as intended and actually saving Total War just in time for 40k
>>545928602wasn't there a sophisticated system of resources to be traded diplomatically?
Why was Lords of Ching Chong so bad again? Sounded better than the absolute turd that was OoD.
>>545928456https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgC18L6UOKQI just want my boys and my life will be complete.

MOM, GET OUT! CLOSE THE DOOR MOOOOM! IM PIVOTTTTTIIIIINNNNGGGG!!
Time to reinstall 3K, boot up Dong Zhuo' then quit 60 turns in after I've killed the 500th stack coming down the Yellow River or trying to snipe Chang'an through that obnoxious mountain pass
>>545928737Because he managed to convince everyone that the Tigermen and the Ogres were subfactions of Cathay and that we would get two more Cathay factions within the same year - all with no proof.If you hide the fact that Tigermen may be a new faction and you hide the fact that the Ogres in the DLC are in fact Ogres, then you can paint it in a negative light.
Which total war has the best endgame
>>545928872that armour is just her costume to a masquerade ball

>>545928985Total War Eceleb
>>545928737Anything would be better than Omens desu, its crazy how they fucked over the Greenskins with their "rework" which was more of a sidegrade than an upgrade meanwhile they overtuned the fuck out of Khorne and Ogres.

>>545928985Rome 1 when you go to Themiskyra for shit and giggles and get those last Scythian settlements at the border of the map

>>545928810>CreedYou are 10 years late boy.
>>545912510even worseimagine kneeling for a mixed race abomination
>>545928985Might be an odd choice but probably FotS despite it lacking the conventional idea of an endgame(since it's so short) simply because garrisons are so strong with gunpowder and towers that you don't even need to worry about random ass AI armies sailing to siege shit. Gatling gun towers are basically a force obliterator in and of themselves
>>545929334they will NOT use that thing.I hope.nobody and I mean nobody bought that shit.. we all use creed still. unless your a cuck.Also yarrick lives and WILL be in the game.
>>545928727Yes but it's not executed very wellFood is your main resource and is used for army upkeep. Most of your campaign is spent chasing sources of food because it's so limiting, but since there's nothing really to spend food on except upkeep, whenever it goes positive you can easily stockpike millions of it and them run a colossal deficit for the rest of the campaignWood is used for most construction and is extremely scarce, so for the most part you'll just be buying tonnes of wood every turn from minors who start with a wood province, because they have nothing to spend it on and thus accumulate so much it's worthless to themStone is for advanced buildings but since you need comparatively way less of it, it's never really limiting.Bronze is for high-tier unit upkeep but the ratios of food to bronze upkeep are such that you'll really never be limited by bronze, and since it has no use until mid-tier in your tech progression you'll have a fat stockpile by the time you need itGold is the 'scarce' resource and every gold settlement has a limited amount that can be mined. It's used for t5 buildings (which is mostly a waste) and recruitment/upkeep for max-tier unique units. AI on higher difficulties will drain the entire map's gold reserve by turn 20 but there are a few infinite sources (IE Troy) that break the game's economy.In practice you sit on 1 increasingly powerful army for 90% of the campaign gated by food while you speed through building tiers with abundant wood/stone and you end the game with two doomstacks of max-tier units (which take 70% of the map's food to sustain) while sitting on an infinitely large stockpile of worthless stone and wood and more bronze than you could ever need, which you trade off to random AI's every turn for the gold to pay your armies.
>>545928985Attila>earlygame is calm before the storm and a regular Total War game focused on expanding.>midgame is the first warning, Hun invasion begins their march, focused on building up and preparing.>endgame is a battle for survival, Attila arrives and the hordes grow exponentially, focus is on defending what youve built or be overrun and die.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj7xFuKAOmY
>>545928612it's called pivoting
>>545929816Isn't this the same as WH1 and Mortal Empires?
>>545928985Seconding Attila. You build up the whole campaign for the big Hun war and once you win that it's the clear "you have finished your campaign" sign.Of course if you're looking to do world conquests, it's the opposite.
>>545928985Shogun 2 Realm Divide but shitters are still salty about it>nooo why are other clans trying to stop me from becoming the hegemon?!!!!??!?!!
>>545929985Yes but a lot better, Warriors of Chaos are jobber tier in 2, a little less in 1 but ranged units still rape them in that game, meanwhile in Attila, the Hun armies are extremely powerful and will outrange and outspeed you while doing it, those mounted archers are no joke until you get Large Onagers but that make take awhile unless you focus towards getting it over the more essential stuff on the tech tree.
I tried to like the Ostrogoths and give them a fair shot, but i'm just not jiven with em. Getting gangfucked by roman legions and horse fuckers for not settling Iberia or Africa takes any campaign chapter goals and realism out the window.Suebi seem easy, since they start near Spain and their chapter goals want you to settle there, but i'm kind of over the germoid factions. How's Sassanids? They seem pretty cool and their roster is a nice change of pace compared to the german shit. Do they have a cool/challenging end game? I'm thinking if I wipe out ERE, i'll be on the frontlines when Attila comes around and could be fun seeing as how my infantry core will just be immortals which will counter the horsefuckers pretty well.

>>545930706with Yin Yin?
>>545930281problem with Sassanids is that you only have a challenging early game against the White Huns. After that you're too powerful.
>>545929941love that style of cutscenehttps://youtu.be/rcpBehVoOpM

>>545930804ERE wont put up a good fight? Probably not with the visigoths/alans jumping them from the start. I'll throw it on VH campaign difficulty, maybe that will help them out.
4th December = Future of Total War
Why are there no black legendary lords
>>545931143whole new Map Expansion of a Province inside Yin Yin?
Miao Ying?A maiden
>>545929020Yeah I know, she still look cool.
>>545931375arkhan the black?
>>545930281Sassanids have the same problem as the ERE in that they start off really strong and only have 1 threat to deal with. Once you handle the white huns your economy snowballs out of control and by midgame you have infinite money.The Norse, Celtics, Slavs, Desert tribes and Alans all have their own rosters distinct from the germanic one so they're all good options to get a change of pace. I've never seriously followed the campaign objectives so I'm not even sure what they are for most factions or where they want you to settle. You could try something like Saxons or Jutes, settle England and then work your way down through Gaul to form your frontline against the Huns, or take the Tanukhids and work your way up to Constantinople.It really just depends on what kind of unit roster you'll like. Since any barbarous faction can freely switch between horde or settled you can basically just pick up any faction and migrate to a new region of the map at the start. The only question is the units you want to use, and the path you want to take to reach your destination.
>>545926167Relevant characters to the setting aren't even in game, and we have a bunch of literally who's who have been long gone for a long ass timeIt makes no sense, give me Kurt Helborg CA you shitheels

>>545931872Shogun 2...
Its so unbelieveable that the one asian faction in the entire setting isn't led by any asians. They're all a slave race in their own nation.
>>545931375Grimgor Ironhide, the leader of Blacks?
>>545931970What nation and continent were the Dragon Children born in again?
>>545927119I really really like this post
>>545932452albion
Just because a human is born on Ulthuan, that doesn't make them a High Elf.
/twg/ is my favorite general
>>545931375Skarsnik, acts black.
Julius Caesar is my favourite general.
>>545928737I have never and will never play Chingchong or Pisslev
>>545932667yeah, that makes them a half-elf
>>545929368>filmslopTheodens speech is great though, retard-kun
>>545932667It does make them an Ulthuani
>>545932452Asia, but they aren't human, so they're no asians. Tigers aren't asian, they're animals.
>>545932667we call them a dark elf then
>>545932667Correct.
>>545931375Zhatan.
>>545932667There's no such thing as an illegal lesser daemon on Ulthuan! All lesser daemon's are valid!
>>545915036>no female anthro girlswhoever made that lie should neck themselves.
realistically Tausret would have looked something like this...
>>545932667But it's a mentality that needs to change, isn't it?
>>545934278Alarielle is such a dumb cunt in the lore that she would ruin Ulthuan in a year if it wasn't illegal for women to have any power over the nation.
>>545933114Hobgoblins aren't Asians? Lizardmen aren't South American/Lustrian?
>>545931269Problem with the ERE is that it can't manage its food as climate change strips the fertility from its territory. Early on they'll be too busy with the twin Goth invasions, the Tanukhids down south, their vassal rebelling and the hordes of nomads to focus on an eastern front, but later on they'll be so starved for food that they'll start demolishing their recruitment buildings, attritioning from famines and just generally hollow out from within.They're usually an easy way to win lots of territory rather than a big midgame boss like you're imagining.
>>545934859Hobgoblins are clearly meant to be Jewish
>>545912475This is why men must sometimes beat women
>>5459342780Man that interview was such a brutal mogging. Especially when the Imp*rial woman mentioned Alarielle using a pushup bra and Alarielle just said lolno bitch it's all natural.Total War: WARHAMMER III
>>545931648*walks out of her chambers*Not anymore!
>>545931803>I've never seriously followed the campaign objectives so I'm not even sure what they are for most factions or where they want you to settle.Alans' campaign objectives are hilariously brutal. CA went with more or less the historical location for each group to settle, so for Alans that's... the whole damn map.

How long until Legend's wife pivots to another man's cock once she realises her husband has no income after retiring from TW?
SHUT THE FUCK UP LOSERSECELEB AND COOMERSTOURISTS AND REDDITORS
>>545933871would. Shame shes married.
>>545928985>Which total war has the best endgameWarhammer 1 chaos invasion if you want something comfy.Shogun 2 realm divide if you want an actual endgame challenge
>>545937697He should have moved to Paradox sooner because "Legend of EU Four" sounds a lot better and a bit like Legend of Total War than "Legend of EU Five" does.
>>545933871smaller nose tho
>>545936513Why not quoting properly ?
>>545937697probably as soon as she gets citizenship from what anons have said it seems he married a South East Asian, so I'm assuming she looks at him as a loser and a means of escaping her native shithole country
>"There totally wasn't a pivot, guys">The next DLC took forever to come out and was still clearly undercooked>The DLC after that takes a WHOLE ASSFUCKING YEAR to come out>"I-it's just because its being developed by Sophia!

>>545939390>CA in one year made FROM SCRATCH>Gorbad>Skulltaker>Arbaal>Sayl>Aislinn>Masque>all with unique mechanics>Four of them have an entire DLC of units with themWow CA works twice as fast when they pivot than normal! They should pivot more often!A normal person would think all that work from CA would be impossible in 12 months, but thankfully now I see Legend's truth!
>>545940062That's way too logical for him anon, tone it down.
>>545940062>Gorbad>Skulltaker>ArbaalNigger, they didn't make any of that in a year. When Tides of Torment comes out, it will have been a FULL YEAR since Omens of Destruction. It took them a YEAR to put just that one DLC out.
NEW>>545940561>>545940561>>545940561NEW
>>545940329oh so they just had Gorbad Skulltaker and Arbaal ready to go, just in case of a pivot!Three Legendary Lords not meant to be released, made for emergencies only!Now THAT makes even more sense!
>>545940738Yeah, actually.Normally, they do development for this sort of shit well in advance, so they were clearly intending them to be a part of some DLC release in the future, but brought the scraps together to do a different release. The reason why it started taking them ridiculous amounts of time is because they scrapped a bunch of shit in response to a backlash, breaking the workflow.
>>545933871Plappable.
