I feel like I should just play high elves if I want to play wood elves.
>>546808116the only race missing things are Druchii, who are missing Lava Dragons, Black Dragons (Carried Bolt Thrower), Black Dragons (Carried Cannon), Black Dragon (Carried Rocket Battery), Black Dragons (Armored), Black Guard Shades ((250 range, stalk, snipe)), Black Dragon Skycutters, War Hydra, Lava Hydra, War Hydra (Armored) Lava Dragon (Armored), Lava Hydra (Armored), Blackshards ((400 range)), Blackshards (Shielded), Blackshards (Dual Crossbows), Voidshard Lord ((600 range, starts with Black Dragon mount)), Voidshard Mage ((no shield but she gets Dark lore, Shadow lore, or Amethyst lore))

How the fuck does Karl consolidate the empire every single campaign I play chaos but whenever I play order he crumbles within 20 turns
>>546810774you play order: chaos factions buffedyou play chaos: order factions buffedsomething like that
>>546805764Teclis white tower mechanic looks amazing imho, mogs tyrion's
>>546811076>Gelts mechanic but ElfNo shit
>>546811171Except gelt is an uppity human upstart who never should've been given such strong mechanicsIt makes much more sense on teclis
Vain Anons would rather be TyrionWise Anons would much prefer Teclis
>>546811471Counterpoint, Gelt isnt some faggy, crippled knife ear so he deserves cooler campaign mechanics
>>546810774Whilst I think >>546810879 is a thing as far as I know to some extent I also think when you play as a certain faction alignment you naturally cause problems for the others of your alignment and therefore impede their blobbing. Even if you aren't at war with them since the AI plays with a particular eye towards the player random ass factions will run at you and then get swallowed up
>>546811471Gelt has cool mask and his name literally means gold. Heckin' GOLD.

It's very clear that I have to wait until the DLC comes out in order to play any High Elves.I mean look at all these changes:https://www.youtube.com/live/UM8qtiAN8Q0
>shill videoShan't
Thinking about it the idea of Tomb Kings peasantry getting screwed is kind of relative. Yeah their immortal souls get locked to Nehekhara forever and they can never die but they still get to exist and aren't gobbled up like french fries instantly by a chaos god for a 0.000000001% power boost per 100k souls devoured. I think it's a pretty good deal honestly, you can't get that sort of layman immortality anywhere else in WHFB.
>shill videoShall click twice to make up for the other guy :^)
>Total war lover videoI shall partake
Will they be switching Settras win goal to wiping out Nagash when he gets added? Settras lore states he hates Nagash, itd only be fitting.
>>546812727they already said they won't add nagash because he's too strong

every faction should get every mechanic and I mean this unironically. think of how fun and cool it would be
using any mechanic is cheating
THe very second total war 40k is properly announced I shall be flooding this general with majorkill videos
>>546813348whats wrong with you
>>546811779The Deep ?
>>546811779unique in what context
>>546813348I don't care about spamming the general with 40k videos but why Majorkill of all retards
>>546813885he makes the most concise and funny videos
>>546813885He is the Legend of 40k community
>>546814082He doesn't even get the lore right, I saw one video of his where he presented a book snippet and he got the details of that wrong too

>>546813348Who ?
>>546814547
>>546814952>>546814441
Who is the least obnoxious shill to see the new units showcased? Preferably someone who doesn't care about stats or meta and just shows them in action.
Golgfag, Elspeth or Malakai campaign? About to get to turn 50 on Arbaal and it's too easy so i'm finna boutta quit.
You will surely get the reikland
>>546815346The Great Book of Grudges ofc
>>546815287Who???
>>546815782he has an obnoxious voice
>>546815287>>546815853
>>546815693well if you don't like easy you shouldn't pick any of those for your next campaign.
>>546815693elspeth with Gorbad+Skragg+Vlad+Ikit together is not too easy
>>546815693Out of those 3 Malakai is the hardest, but like anon said they are all cakewalks. The only thing about Malakai is that you start out surrounded by enemies, but that matters little to the spirit of grungni.
Siegvald deserves a unique mechanic
>>546815693play Alberic you pussy
>>546816985nta but you'd have to be clinically insane to voluntarily play the STALEST faction in the game.

Are there any channels/videos you recommend for learning how to play chaos dwarves? There's so much stuff going on there I've torpedoed my first few campaigns with them.

>>546828480gamers didnt deserve empire
Haven't played Greasus since the update for him, what's his new mechanic?Barring that, what's a good army comp for Golgfag? How do Maneater pistols compare to ledbelchers?
>>546829435He spends money every so often to get some map buffs or debuff someone else. He can also siphon from a settlement. It's very fitting but boring. As for your second question: Maneaters are an actual frontliner, Leadbelchers really suck as anything but fire support
>>546829435i think its a copy of karls mechanic but gold instead of prestige
>>546828480shogun 2 smoke mogs
>>546828480why are they reloading? lmao what kinda of shitty guns do they have, the empire gunners from warhammer don't need to do that shit, what a waste of time
>>546822072whatever you say mannfred
>>546829435greasus's things are a mix of things from other fuck around mechanics like changing of the ways or empire prestige things, the two most important ones are steal a magic item or buy a city. You can only do them to enemies or neutrals but it can either be meaningless as your neighbours might not have stuff worth taking or win the campaign outright from turn 3. The buy a city one is really expensive and has a long turn cooldown.Man eater pistols are a frontliner that can shoot, they do use pistol and not the leadbelchers aoe cannon and don't get a power boost from the more powder big name. They do benefit from most ogre melee stat stacking and are roughly equal to golgfags maneaters except for lacking an anti infantry bonus. They have 140 range and unless you stay fighting the same enemies over and over you should probably use pistol maneaters and leadbelchers.
if you take over ulthuan and no elf has picked up the sword of khaine are you fucked?
>>546803391Correcting myslef.The Anointed is a female.I heard her in a Sotek video, the other youtuber was calling her "he" for some reason.
ADDAAM RESHII A-ZAANTA
>>546828073
>>546833372that's because they did not respect her pronoun.
>>546833330Delves and Welves can take it (if they own the settlement).
Does how much your vassals like you influence how likely they are to send armies to help you?

Damn, on of the problems with WH3 is that the AI doesnt stat stack and get gold veterency on units, so when they do fight your gold chevron'd nigs, they get absolutely crushed.Never played SFO, does it make the game harder in any meaningful way or is it just the same?
>>546835593the tzeentch versions are the only ones that are not immediately outclassed by another tier thing in the same tier.The barrier stopping at least one spell cast or charge makes them an acceptable tarpit unit

spoke to someone that playtested total war: hyperwarhe says its fantastic and the 3d space combat is amazing
>>546837585the person said he played as a faction of the imperium and that he was a small part of an overall war effortthe way he was talking it doesnt sound like the guy really understood TW very well, but also, described what sounded more like a vortex/roc style campaign instead of ME/IEso i would say, overall disappointing as someone who hates stupid story campaigns

god i love stormvermin
>>546823398>Doesnt play the game>Gives opinion on gameplayNon-ap doesnt mean 0 ap damage. Quarrelers deal 25% ap and Thorek gives them enough buffs to go from 20 unit card damage to 120. In other words they deal 30 ap and 90 non-ap damage per 10 seconds. In contrast Handgunnders deal 12 ap and 3 non-ap damage.A Thorek-buffed Quarreler is equal to 2,5 handgunners PLUS 4 entirely non-ap handgunners. And they have arcing shots instead of direct LoS bullshit. How much do you have to suck to think they are bad?
>>546845242Yes.
Does Tretch or Queek buff Stormvermin more?
>>546845875GOOGOOWHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
Haven't played in a year or so. Did they buff Khalida or something? Why is everyone saying she's the best KANG now
>>546846405Gunpowder sisters....the old ways are too powerful...
>>546847348I don't think Queek buffs them that much except for reducing recruitment time.
>>546847348Tretch gives global buffs to clanrats and stormvermin. Queek shaves of a turn from their recruit time.
>>546847623>Did they buff Khalida or something?On paper, yes. But its really hard to confirm if those buffs are working or not. She didnt change much because you still need a second army to beat Thorek's starting army.>she's the best KANG nowNope, thats always been Arkhan.
>Enemy spellcaster routs just as he starts casting a big nuke>Spellcast isnt interrupted by routingRules for me, but not to thee I see
>>546845484
>>546847623Her achers got buffed, but thats a rather nothingburger. She's a lot better but still cant contend with Arkhan. Free extra army + anti-infantry ghouls + ethereal cavalry is just too good early on when no one has proper access to magic attacks.

Is cathay fun? It looks like the bad parts of empire and bretonnia (rebels, being exposed and peasants) without the cool parts (cavilary and gunpowder/faith)
>>546861413The problem with Cathay is that they have some of the shittiest battle maps in the game and you will spend your entire early game fighting on them.
>>546836742if you play on higher difficulties in vanilla the ai gets passive experience over time

>>546847348>>546848537Queek's Stormvermin will get faction-wide Frenzy as soon as you cap Eight Peaks
>>546863919Good advice for a faction like the Empire, but Cathay infantry is actually really good. Not only do they hold but they rack up kills when supported by a war drum and harmony. Plus using more melee infantry means you can micro your ranged and cav better since their slowish armored infantry doesn't need much.I could see going down to 6 I guess if you have a way to compensate for flank support, but I always go for at least 8.
>>546865000Both Miao and Zhao are fairly similar, but Miao is the definitive experience. She has to deal with the wall from the beginning which is annoying for some players and fun for others, and she buffs better units and arguably has better spells. Zhao has a safer start and a better economy. He does ok with Ogre meme units too until the late game.

Playing Grand Cathay in the Realm of Chaos campaign, around turn 50. Unified basically all of Cathay with one faction hanging about still, but in a military alliance with me so it's really not worth going to war with them, same with a bunch of Ogre factions nearby. I have the Bastions, I've cleared out a big chunk of the Chaos lands behind the Bastions, though there is a Nurgle faction with about a dozen settlements hanging around nearby (and the Ogres are pressing them).My income is massive, I have multiple 20 stack armies and I'm just sat around doing nothing for turns on end waiting for the gates to pop up because it doesn't seem like there's anything else for me *to* do. Even the unification of Cathay was mostly done through confederation or smaller factions getting wiped when the Norscans came through the Bastions. What else is supposed to happen in this campaign?

>>546870003Diversity, now wonder about all the HE units when you are still going to spam archers with shield
>>546872140>>546873003I like how schizophrenic late-game Pharaoh armies can be. You have your elite faction units in every army, and there are so many ways to get other factions units as RoR-type recruitment, and your native units change over time as you expand.
>>546873975Pharaoh is shit. It has the same problem as WH where the more expensive army always wins and battles are mostly just goldchecks, but with the added layer than the only units which matter are two-handed chargers, which beat everything in melee and outrun everything, and archers which slaughter everything because of lethality.Worse even because the actual roster diversity is basically nonexistent and every faction gets a cheap charger the AI will spam. I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to design infantry with cavalry stats and speed, but infantry unit size and no anti-large weakness. Or why they thought it was a good idea in a historical game with a small and restrictive roster to just reduce unit recruitment to "cavemanii, more expensive cavemanii (better), most expensive cavemanii (bestest)" without even the vaguest gesture towards some kind of rock paper scissors relationship of units and counters.

>>546876369Here;s an exhaustive list of all unit types in Total War: Pharaoh: Dynasties>two-handed chargers (club/spear/axe)Best unit in the game. beats everything, trade up against more expensive units and moves at cavalry-speed. Club is the best version, spears counter chariots.>One hander (sword/axe/club)Grindy mainline infantry with a slight offensive leaning. Swords are always the best version. Completely outclassed in melee by chargers. Have no real purpose>spearsDefensive infantry that can't defend. Melt on contact to chargers despite having expert charge defense and lose the grind to one-handers. Have anti-large but it doesn't really matter. Light and medium spears lack the mass to stop chariots and can be broken through frontally, while heavy spears are too slow to really be useful vs chariots. Despite having big shields explicitly meant to counter archers, they melt to ranged fire unless they have the 100% missile block stance (which in turn makes them useful only for minor settlement battles). You just never recruit these but sometimes you're stuck with them because garrisons are ass>ArchersGods of war. Counters everything except chargers, who just run them down and kill them. But the best frontline chaff to protect your archers from chargers are just your own chargers>slingersUnusably bad, literally worthless. So bad that autoresolve actually gets worse for every unit of these in an army>javelinsArchers with less range/ammo. Basically just completely outclassed by archers, there's no reason to bring them. Like spears, sometimes your garrison roster forces you to use them.>chariots light/medium/heavyHardcountered by archers and two-handed spears. Light/medium chariots are worthless, heavy chariots can be useful if there are no archers. >cavalryChariots but worse. Lose to all the same things, don't really have a purpose.>oxcartsbased beyond all belief but exclusive to a single unbelievably based faction
>>546878616>>cavalry>Chariots but worse. Lose to all the same things, don't really have a purpose.you are so fucking shit at the game its amazing
>>546878613Lokhir also has a dragon. To which his melee buffs apply.
>>546878616Pharaoh cav is broken beyond belief. You must be using them wrong.
>>546876215>fletching>specialty wood >nice arrowheads >bonding materials, glue The material costs go up quite a lot when you consider entire companies of men, how much space all these ingredients take up and the man-hour costs required (eats into standard soldier work). That's also 22 arrows per soldier. We're talking tens of thousands of arrows. If you want your AP and range to remain high, they're gonna have to be good and expensive This is the real reason why the game makes HE op.You can buy that DE arrows are shittier. They are shot from more powerful, shorter range bows and therefore don't need the precise aerodynamic qualities.
>>546878863forgot image
>>546878886Does duelist still apply on monstrous mounts?
>>546879146DE crossbows are straight up better in everything compared HE bow on the tabletop. CA had to slash their TT range in half because they made HE ranged units pointless. Darkshards have identical range as sisters of avelorn on the table.
>>546871576wtf the explosion fucking sucks
>>546879146even a montenegrin would be able to make 1 arrow per daythis would work maybe if one turn=one week, but that would break building construction and recruitment/replenishment

>>546879829Skaven should looked like this
>>546879829He is not a chaos god tho.
>>546878616>two handed chargersThey are the best at everything, but you make just like how any other total war game has a meta unit. And just like in any total war game, you don't have to use them (but they are fun and you should). They are also easily countered with missiles and rear charges, or by baiting them into bad terrain. Also axes and clubs are better at different thigs.>one handerSword, khopesh, axe, and club all have different uses. Not even going to press it further because you're clearly retarded.>spearsThey can and will defend against anything of a relative power level. You have to actually think about how you use them though, placing them at key points and using stances if they have them. With high tier spears you can get 100% missile block with a general's support, and the charge defense + reflection will mog your precious two handers. Good in sieges too.>archersAlso quite strong in the players hands (especially flaming archers), but against the ai all you need to do is rush them and they run away. Shielded units or meat sheilds can buy you time if you need to.>slingersThey are the worst unit type overall but to call them worthless is laughable. They are effectively just worse archers with higher range and ammo, and can deal good chip damage throughout the battle. Light slingers are also good at drawing out the ai when they're defending.>javelins>outclassed by archersLol. Lmao. Try flanking sometime.>chariotsThe most inconsistent unit type. They are poorly implemented but heavy chariots become OP, taking out half an army by themselves if you compensate for the jank. Not really worth using over chargers or cavalry but entirely useable. Missiles (especially javelins) are OP against them because of lethality, but spears should counter them.>cavalryDifferent than chariots with different uses. Ran out of space and can't argue with a retard anyways so going to leave it at that.

>>546880489>chariots>cavalryI never felt they were all that different besides chariots being janky and lazily implemented. They're both terrain dependent speedy units you use to trample shit and flank. They should have made chariots better at skirmishing (which is what they are actually meant to do historically) to help differentiate them more.
>>546887601Damm, what ENB/Reshade is that?
>>546888447Yeah they way they handled chariots was bad. Skirmish chariots are extremely situational and heavy chariots are pretty good but don't always work how you want them to because of design issues.Heavy chariots are usually better than cavalry at causing mass routs and pushing through weaker formations, but cavalry is better at cycle charging, skirmishing, and overall versatility.
>>546889565dunno I found it online
I'm so exited for Total War: A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON
>>546882212Premodern armies fletch arrows while on campaign. They don't walk around with giant wagon-trains full of arrows. When they make camp for the night, several parties are sent out to hunt and forage for food, find fresh water and chop down trees for fortifications, fire and so on.Either the archers themselves or dedicated fletchers in the army camp would have made arrows as needed, just as camps would have had blacksmiths, tanners and other tradesmen reforging armour, weapons and other tools. An army on campaign could source any metal needed to replace lost or ruined equipment from battlefields or just from looting towns.Even in the napoleonic era supply lines weren't really a thing since shot and powder were both light enough to be transported in huge quantities by the army's wagon train. Napoleon's march on moscow was one of the first times in military history that an army on the march needed rotating convoys of supplies to be sent to resupply it and it presented a whole series of engineering challenges and innovative solutions that shaped the formation of modern battlefield logistics.The American Civil War, and then later WW1 were the points in history where armies became large enough that they could no longer feasibly live off the land as they campaigned, with WW1 in particular being the point where firepower became so high that field weapons needed constantly supply shipments to maintain their rate of fire and weapons became complex enough that they needed to be mass-produced in a factory back in the industrial heartland rather than pounded out in the field by a few tradesmen with a portable furnace and anvil.
>>546889838The differences in mass don't significantly change how they are used in practice, they are functionally identical. You flank, murder archers and rear charge in either case and neither are implemented historically accurately.

>>546890653>Even in the napoleonic era supply lines weren't really a thingNapoleonic era armies (specifically, Napoleon's armies) went a step further and pioneered new methods of living off the land to avoid large baggage trains, it's how they were so stupidly fast and caught other european armies with their pants down time and time again.They basically ran the numbers on how many soldiers could each sq km support on average by requisitioning food from the countryside, then divided the army accordingly so when they moved the would actually move covering vast areas of terrain and then regroup when marching to battle.Also fuck the new captcha Hiroyuki is a dumb nigger
>>546891110It helps that LOTR's sacrilege is, despite the cost, fucking irrelevant in any circle I frequent. Having CA jump in to rape the IP would change that.

>>546887601Is Anno117 worth buying?
>>546885040Grimgor…
>>546888447The intended design is basically that Chariots are good at smashing infantry formations, while cavalry are worse against infantry but much better at running down and killing off chariots (most cav have anti-large and are immune to physics). Skirmisher chariots/cavalry are useful for kiting and killing melee fast-movers but job hard to archers and javelins. Heavy chariots can often just instantly rout and destroy non-spear infantry by charging frontally, as their mass will pull through, break up the formation and trigger flanking/rear attack penalties all at once.The problem with chariots, aside from being janky, is that their target size is huge, which means arrows are almost perfectly accurate against them. With a small unit size they just get fucked by lethality as every archer volley puts a dozen arrows into each chariot model.Cavalry control much better than chariots and are just fine for rearcharging but their melee stats are so mediocre that they can struggle to kill elite archers in melee without just trading 1:1 and against elite heavy infantry that negate flanking penalties they basically do nothing. Their stats are largely just too low without the anti-large bonus.But usually by the time the AI is fielding elite units the campaign is over and you're just autoresolving with a doomstack anyways.

>>546891701I'd wait a week for Ubisoft to start its bankruptcy proceedings and you'll probably be able to buy the IP for less than the game costs now.

>>546891969ubihard got bought out a few days ago
>>546892115What is his damage?
>>546890713The mass does make a difference though. In the right situation the mass helps them push through when cavalry can't. This helps it attack more units at once causing a mass rout. The thing that makes this unreliable is you need to charge them the right angle, several units stacked ontop of each other, and on flat or downhill terrain.
>>546820989This reminds me of the one beastcoomer shitpost of Ghorros getting an impregnation mechanic that creates unique Centigor RoRs whenever he defeats female LLs in battle or destroys their faction.

>>546877567That's an easy question.
>>546891110The problem is that lotr is a franchise that takes itself seriously and its fans want to take it seriously, which means there's a fragile membrane of plausibility that must be kept intact for it to feel 'authentic.' Rupture that membrane and the fans reject it.But the books are silly. In fact the whole fantasy genre is silly. Whimsy, absurdity and silliness are just core to fantasy. And when you dig into the books of lotr or the extended tolkein writings looking for more worldbuilding to pad your unit rosters and game mechanics, you discover shit like Tom Bombadil that would make movie fanatics go "This isn't the lotr I know!" Orcs aren't allowed to be silly little huns that sing "where there's a whip there's a way" they must be dark-skinned demonpeople with jewish noses that embody evil.

>>546892808NonsenseBattle for Middle-Earth was a beloved game and it had Bombadil and plenty of other silly stuff
Bros... Warhammer 3 is absent from both the "best ongoing games" and "best community support" categories... How did this happen... Why did the game awards pivot to Marvel Rivals and Helldivers 2..
>>546893067https://youtu.be/SpDmKIhOGF0?si=dlRQEsxYFAKpK_mL
>>546893042Its fucking free. What were you expecting? Also thats not even bad by any means.
>>546893067>Battle for Middle-Earth was a beloved game and it had BombadilNTA but Bombadil was like 1% of the game, the rest was pretty straightfaced with Gandalf and Elrond monologuing about how dark things were and everything was fucked
>>546892972Malekith was born before the war with chaos was won. Dechalas father was a Nagarythe warrior under Aenarion. She was born after the war. The period of peace after the war and the sundering is around 2000 years.
new player here bros, is TWW2 worth getting into or should I buy TWW3? i own TWW2 and almost all DLC's + TWW1's
>>546891802Can't help but think Lethality completely fucked with this game's balance since you're always playing around the two unit types which benefit the most from it and everything else exists in varying degrees of uselessness>running down and killing off chariotsWhich is funny because whatever cavalry they fielded in the late bronze age was most likely not used for that purpose. I wonder if bronze age horsemen could even outrun chariots, those things were fast as fuck.>>546893042Reminds me of Hellebron not becoming young and hot when she's supposed to.
>>546893186MarvelSlop but mostly because it's SEXO.Helldivers is just people living their starshiptrooper fantasies https://youtu.be/CIGHCoVzqtk?si=WhjrsbAXGfGax1rN
>>546892868Qataris probably
>>546893186>best community supportWe were robbed...
>>546893365TWW2 is a good game, but you're missing all of the new content from TWW3 if you're playing it. Also the games have a different feel to them, I can't explain it but TWW2 feels easier, at least from the last time I played with was after sinking 500+ hours on TWW3.
>>546893365buy 3 it lets you play the real campaign with all the content from the other games in it
>>546893302Hello l*ddit!
Is it me or do the faces in the new DLC all look...weird?Like there's something fundamentally different about this new DLC, I can't put my finger on it.It feels.."cheaper".
>>546893547Hello c*mmie!
>>546893387>no stirrupsChariots were faster 100% guaranteed
>Its fucking freeWurzag was free and dancesGor Rok was free and has a completely unique animation set
Slanny"boys" can't dance
>>546892217About 500. That is also pretty high.
>>546894002Trvthnvke, we all know TzeentchCHADS own the dance floor.
>>546893913Wurzagg has a 2 seconds ""dance"" loop.Masque also has a completely unique animation set. ???
>>546828480Of all the periods of warfare in history, the one I'd want to be in the least (not that I actually want to be in any of them, I value my life) is musket-era warfare.>Ok soldier, so you're just gonna stand in a straight line in full view of the enemy infantry and cannons with all of your buddies, you're gonna wait until everyone is in position, then you will aim your musket, fire, and start reloading without moving from your spot to do it again.>Protection from bullets and artillery? Cover? Anything more protective than your pajamas? The fuck are you talking about? Get out there and die for your king and country already.>>546860397There was this one story about Trundle by Graham McNeill that was extremely similar to the story of Greasus getting into an eating competition with his brother for the crown.
>>546894230>Tze**ntch >DanceDon't tell him
Do you know what else is free?Being kind.
>>546894287>Wurzagg has a 2 seconds ""dance"" loop.So Sofia was too lazy to make even that? Damn.
Do you know what else is free?Being a good person.
>>546890653These fantasy armies shoot off their entire supply of arrows multiple times, in multiple battles across a single turn and they always return to the campaign map with a full stock. You agree with me that they need time to restock. HE armies, Empire armies et al simply should not be able to fight two defensive battles in a row, across a single end turn with full stocks of ammo. This should be the primary drawback between melee and ranged.
>>546893796And they're always depicted as slower and clunkier due to pop-history stereotypes.
>>546892868see >>546892801The whole bit about the subsidiary is public info you can find with a google search
>>546893335ESL here, does the text >>546892972 really says she was born after the war was over ?(Also if the war against demaons was over how can Samael be so free of doing his bullshit against Dechala's family ?)
>>546894403For masque, no dance animation >>> shit "dance" loop.

>>546893186I'm having more fun reading another warhammer vs warcraft fanfic than playing total warhammer
God can't wait for this shit DLC to come out to know if the next one will be shit too
>>546893796>>546894847Imagine being the guy to invent shit like thatOr stuff like glasses and pulleysShame we're playing a solved game now

>>546895037Its not solved if you dont even realize there's a problem that could be fixedINTRODUCING JUICERO
>>546895073https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war/blogs/73>Patch 6.2 arrives next week with a focus on Magical Items, the forthcoming Tides of Torment DLC will reveal its final playable faction in July, and some long-awaited content will be unveiled at the anniversary showcase.
>>546894846Since the lauch of wh3, welfaremonkey.
>>546895073It's obviously going to be Nagash, WH3 is close to end of support.
>>546894739Normal elves don't live 2000+ years and since her father fought "so many thousands of years ago" in that fragment she would be a granny elf and wouldn't attract a slaanesh daemon. It would also make sense if her father was very old. Because if you think about it, shouldn't he be experienced in killing daemons if he fought alongside Aenarion? Only way I see someone that survived the great war bending his knee to a daemon would be advanced age.
>CA wasn't invited to the Country Music Awardsthis is bullshit!
>>546895406>being a coping drone for yearsYikes!
>>546893365You can enjoy TWW2 but TWW3 is an upgraded versions with more factions and old faction reworked.I guess you can wait for Winter Sales (last TWW3's sale was -75%, +- 15€).
The 4th December is a Thursday.Will you be able to watch the Total War anniversary livestream with us?
>>546895037>doesn't hold on to his horse by one arm gripping its mane Lmao pussy
>>546893539>>546893543>>546895574damn, I seeI'll get TWW3 in the future then, shame I don't have its DLC's for some sweet new content
>>546895593>livestreamConfirmed to be just a pre-recorded video.
>>546895647Do yourself a favour and creampie the dlc, don't give this garbage company any more money than they deserve
>>546894338It come with the price of being a loser or a Chud.
>>546895494Why don't normal elves not live to 2000
>>546895729Oh, we can still watch the premiere.
ARE WE FUCKING READYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT7vD8uAGEQ
>>546895245Yeah probably but the guy writing it is clearly a massive empire simp and was probably an alliance simp before that, in the story horde is jobbing at every turn to steel, faith and gunpowder and allying with skaven (lol)
>>546895764AIDS and dementia
>>546894932>next one
>>546895905kek well Alliance does have more OP characters(lorewise)Also a spaceship
>>546894847Definitely no proper saddle besides some basic padding
>>546895764They don't have a god extending their life. Khaine blessed all of the warriors of Aenarion. Malekith was conceived when his father was the avatar of two major elven gods which made him HUGE and eternal. Morathi has pacts with gods to live forever. Hellebrone lives off stealing life from blood sacrifices etc.
>>546895806Well yeah they'll do that countdown on youtube. But not doing a legit livestream is really lame for their 25th anniversary. Especially if they going to announce 40k or Med3 or something.
CA has already confirmed that two more DLCs are on the way:The smallest ever DLCThe largest ever DLC
>>546896087But they get old right How old do they get
>>546894463A turn in TW usually represents a period of time, like a year in M2, 6 months in Empire, a couple weeks in Napoleon, 3 months in Attila and so on. Armies camp nightly, so there's no reason to try and limit arrow quantities between battles unless you're trying to represent turns as being single days or something, which no TW game does
>>546895647> I don't have its DLCBase Kislev (3 LL)Base Cathay (2 LL)Base Nurgle (2 LL)Base Khorne (2 LL)Base Slaanesh (2 LL counting the Masque )Base Tzeentch (1 LL)Base Daemons (1 LL)+ 1 WoC new LLYou will have plenty of new content with base TWW3 no even counting how WoC was reworked as a totally new race
>>546877567Hashoot>doesnt try to fuck you over>surprisingly forgiving >gifts you cool magical powers (at the cost of turning to stone but you can build a cool mech rig if that ever happens)
>>546896297It's stated elves start wither at 1000 years old. Living beyond that depends if they have some reason to live longer. They can live as long as they have the conviction to live but they end up as horribly weak and withered elves like Hellebrone is without blood sacrifices.
>>546893387Cavalry are anti-large because a quirk in the engine means that cavalry MUST be immune to physics damage, and physics are the main way that chariots deal damage so it's basically impossible to make the matchup play out any other way.It's the same with elephants vs cavalry in other warscape games. They job super fucking hard to horses despite the fact that IRL cavalry couldn't even fight war elephants.
>>546895606Her mane's ethereal, a bit hard to grab unless she wants to do kinky stuff in bed
>>546896429oh neat then, sweet stuff :-D+ all the previous game DLC's which is endless content as well kek
>>546877567my fuarking hero THE DARK MASTER of course
>>546896087No. Morathi has the only no-draw backs immoratlity sppell/potion on the Warhammer world, her cauldron. She keeps Malekith and herself immortal and gives portions of it to her followers. Hellebron uses Morathi's recipe but Morathi didnt want to compete with Helle beauty so Helle's is gimped.
>Warhammer 3 not nominated for labour of loveWow I can't fucking believe this...
>>546896835
>>546896835Doesnt count, they didnt make any content for it this year
>>546896498Hashut ain't loyal, unlike Tzeentch (fucking lol)
>>546897123That was the joke autist-senpai
>>546896816Morathi doesn't use the cauldron to be young. She just is and always was. It's her sorceresses that use it once to become eternally young. But even that isn't eternal life like Morathi has. You even see one of her convent members in the TW2 dark elf campaign. Withered and old due to usage of dark magic which even the couldron can't take back. Morathi is immune to that through pacts with Atharti.
>>546877567The not-god of shiggy diggy
>>546897208Clearly you intended for me to be the joke youyou jerk
>>546896309Not a problem in friendly territory. Is a problem deep in enemy territory. Especially after having been attacked multiple times in a single turn. Some regen is okay, but arrows being a finite resource that must be replenished (just like manpower) makes sense. If your army didn't replenish by an action, we can also say that it shouldn't replenish its arrows and cannon shot etc etc This is a gameplay conceit meant to highlight something greater. It makes perfect sense for unit replenishment (manpower and ammunition) to work the same way.
>>546897281I'm sorry.
>Play skarbrand>Goal is to make a rush for nemesis crown and sword of khaine>Ogres conspire to stop me>Dwarfs conspire to stop me >Empire conspire to stop me
I'm actually begining to dread the arrival of Dec 4th. It can very well be the slaughter of the franchise rather than a comeback.
>>546896498The only reason anyone worships chaos is strength and eternal life. Hashut can't give you any of that. Worshiping him just causes mutations and in his chosen slow death through petrification. Meanwhile a chosen lives forever, doesn't need to eat or sleep and never tiers. And it isn't even hard to become chosen.
>>546890653>They don't walk around with giant wagon-trains full of arrowsNot all of them, but the English certainly did it during the HYW with great efficiency, but that's because they put all of their effort into their longbowshttps://youtu.be/gesJRwOTRi0https://youtu.be/-jfO0w2IWYI
>>546877567it's between Khorne and Nurgle because they're cool as hell to me
>>546877567Grandfather
>>546897379Furthermore, there is clear discrepancy here in gameplay sense. If a melee unit loses half its models while inflicting damage, its going to be regenerating multiple turns. Add +1 turns if you're in enemy territory. Add 50% movement penalty if you cannot take enemy settlement or move back to friendly region the next turn. If archer loses 99% of its ammo while inflicting damage, its back to 100% the next turn no matter where you are - hostile territory or otherwise. When you fight multiple battles back to back, losing models becomes a huge drawback, losing arrows is nothingburger.I'm fine handwaving replenishment away entirely or committing to it entirely, but not with this "yes but no" half and half. Make ammo work like replenishment. Hell, make it 3x stronger so you're pretty much always at 100% in friendly territory but can run out if you overextend or if your army fights 20103 rats per turn.
>>546877567Not coomer enough to be Slanny.Not crazy or ripped enough for Khorne.Not stupid and schizo enough for Tzeentch.I guess that just leaves one...
>play skulltaker>right click>winthis guy needs some buffs
>>546898482Malal/Malice?
>>546898628Obviously.Malice CHADS stay winning.
>>546897993His mutations make you into a big giant bull warrior and the petrification isn't even his fault. As long as you don't fuck up with your spellcasting you can live for centuries (Astragoth is old as shit yet he's still active, albeit with assistance)
>>546896498HASHUT VORGRUND ZHARR NAGGRUND
>>546897993t. www.youtube.com/watch/EOdD2VpIXOw
>>546898707A little miffed we didn't get this dilemma in-game
>>546895494>Normal elves don't live 2000+ years Correct>and since her father fought "so many thousands of years ago" in that fragment she would be a granny elf and wouldn't attract a slaanesh daemon.The text is from an Imperial scholar POV (see pic), so yeah the war against demons invasion was thousands of years ago from his POV.>if you think about it, shouldn't he be experienced in killing daemons if he fought alongside Aenarion?But reading the text it looks like Samael never attacked the father directly, only pets and servants.
>>546896498>gifts you cool magical powers (at the cost of turning to stone but you can build a cool mech rig if that ever happens)Makes me wonder. This only happens because Dwarf weren't made for magic. Would a human follower of Hashut turn to stone as well?
>>546898482>Not crazy or ripped enough for Khorne.He literally makes you rippedThat is as common for khorne worshippers as having some basic boils and coof as a nurgle worshipper
>>546877567Khorne if I can channel the power of disciplined autism and focus on martial prowess and honor instead of a retard berserker rage.
>>546899003No, though I wish we got some lore on non-Dwarf Hashut worshippers. Maybe he just doesn't like other species
>>546899249Dwarf's are the only species lawtist enough for him, I guess.
Am I the only one that is kinda over Warhammer and just wants to go back to history?
>>546899395I'd like it if CA would make a history game in one of the 3 time periods I'd play>Rome again>Medieval era>1700s-1800s (must have naval battles again)
>>546894526I cant see chariots being that fast. They didnt have springs so no suspension and the weight more or less rests on a wooden axle. That means if the ground isnt completely flat (desert sand or artificial arena), going above fast trot would risk either axle snapping or riders getting thrown off. And as for sand, that shit slows chariots significantly as two wooden wheels have small enough surface area to sink into it somewhat. A lot more than just a horse and rider at least, even if it allows a stable platform to fight on.
>>546899395>kinda over WarhammerYeah>wants to go back to historyNahGoing back to a Total War game without cool fantasy non-Human races or magic doesn't interest me. While I love Shogun 2 and Medieval 2, any history sequel made now days will be terrible compared to them, so I'd rather have something like Total War: Elder Scrolls or Total War: Warcraft.
>>546899694>1700s-1800s (must have naval battles again)lollmao, evenWe are never getting navel combat ever again.
>>546899708>A study of Tutankhamun's chariots from 2000 found that the structure of the wheels, the spokes, the materials chosen for the sleeve bearings, the use of animal fat for lubrication and the design as a whole are remarkable, being comparable to European carts of the 19th century AD. The six-spoke wheels feature flexible wood rims, acting as tires, which adapted to soil irregularities. Those rims absorbed uniformly the loads transmitted by soil irregularities, so that the vibrations were damped by the wheels themselves, similar to modern car suspension. The chariots could reach speeds of 25 miles per hour (40 km/h).Pharaoh's chariot, but still.
>>546898054Yeah see, that's a tech that is in the middle of the tech tree: replenish 30% of all ammo after every battle "thanks to our intrepid engineers these wagon trains.." etc etcYou get the point. That's ludokino
None of you got what it takes to worship Khorne, Tzeentch or SlaaneshTo Nurgle shit pits with all of you
>>546892808What parts of (book) LOTR are intentionally whimsical besides Bombadil? The book ends with their homes being destroyed and Frodo seeing his people give in to bloodlust. You're conflating the books with the movies, I think. If the tone is to emulate the movies then I'm fine with that, but the thing is most additions to LOTR delve into the books/appendices to find things and the tone is much different.Mostly talking about AOTR and DaC here, though. AOTR more specifically. It literally has Saladin and its just too much, I can't imagine CA would be any more creative.
>>546900682Khorne is piss easy to worship
>>546900858Do you got what it takes mentally to murder a nigga? In actual combat? Multiple times?
>>546900761>The book ends with their homes being destroyed and Frodo seeing his people give in to bloodlust.:(
>>546901012Yeah.
>>546901012murder is more of a cherry popping
>>546901012>a niggado gyppos count too? Then yeah
>>546901012You don't need to murder a nigga multiple times, just one will be enough to take his skull
>>546900682Khorne worship requires castration. I don't want to lose my peepee.
>>546901441Not a single loss to the world
>>546899395Historical is no longer viable and even if they make Medieval 3 the battles are going to suck. With the way this engine works and how CA designs battles (poorly), you pretty much need the fantasy shit to make them remotely interesting.
What if my enemy doesn't have a soul?
Lord of the rings is the only way to go
The real test of Khorne strength is killing some guy just because you can, without honor The gateway drug is open battle.
Should I buy Victoria 3 or EU5?Total War
Is no one considering the possibility that we're getting WH4 instead?
>>546901861>and how CA designs battles (poorly)Bro I'm playing Anno and the first time I saw a battle I was like "hold on this is pretty much just TW"This city builder has the same depth to battles as the dedicated "strategy" game
>>546901973When Christopher lived it would be possible. The current Tolkien estate only cares about upfront profit not long time one. If you aren't ready to pay 300+ million of a license you have no way to get it now. And remember Amazon paid 300 million for one chapter of the Silmariliion not LotR proper.
I hope more units get modded to or have the burrow mechanic. It's annoying as fuck that you can't damage them whilst burrowed but I think if stuff like the menace below were made to have to burrow their happy asses across the map rather than instantly emerging I'd be less annoyed by them
>>546893042That pose at the beginning reminds me of the Australian breakdancer woman at the Olympics
>>546901973The Lord of the Rings RTS was so fucking peak, so yeah I'd would be alright with this.
>>546902139Victoria 3 is if you wanna play an econ game spreadsheet, while fun its a lot more to learn, EU5 is from what most people tell me, an easier game to learn but also an easier game overall. However, unlike TCA, it seems the devs have heard the complaints and are actively working on fixing the AI while also making more content and not delaying a DLC for a year to try and fail fixing the AI twice then releasing a reskin DLC in December.
>>546902234Menace bellow is supposed to work in a way the skaven burrowed themselves underground BEFORE the battle not actively digging tunnels and moving under the battlefield.

>>546900257>Colonies gets ambush stance
>>546902424You gotta take Paradox "fixes" promised with a grain of salt though if Stellaris is any indication. They fixed some performance issues just to make the AI capable of amassing ships and thereby tanking the performance to worse levels
>>546902848Natives should have teleport stance.
>>546893715What's peculiar to me as someone whose really looked at the Pharaoh models/textures is the Bulgarians do a very good job. Their models in that game are better than any historical total war's - but the fucking dark elves and high elves in these packs look abominable. The monsters are better, but those helf swordsmen look terrible to me.>>546894294The cannons are what really spook me, since I might be wrong and thinking more ARMSTRONG GUNS era but artillery just seems to jack up the casualty rate of war to a crazy degree. Prior to that and it's most die during the route, after it comes its most die being instagibbed.>>546875045Frankly when I get done with visuals I want to tinker around with the combat, assuming I don't lose interest or M3 doesn't distract me. I hate the overabundance of the chargers just on an aesthetic ground. Everyone or just about everyone has them which means they aren't special. I get it, it was to make up for the lack of cavalry, but I still don't like it
>>546897809>rush for the sword of khaine>settlement isn't even built up yet>have to sell an elf their own sword before I can steal it

>>546903070>but the fucking dark elves and high elves in these packs look abominableI'm glad I'm not the only one who notices, they look like complete and utter shit.Also it's not just the faces, it's everything, the textures. the models, compare the new "legendary" hero for the helves with all the other heroes in the helf roster, he sticks out like a sore thumb, everything is..off.Complete amateur work.
>>546888447One thing I already plan to test for chariots is to up their shooting rate, with a tenative goal of "Twice as fast as a foot archer" (Maybe thrice) in mind. My thought being:>Chariot is like a fighter plane - you are on target very briefly, so you need the RoF to benefit>Charioteer is not ranked foot archers practicing volley-firing and obeying a captain. You're not shooting at someone you might not see (rear ranks) but facing down your target.>You're not having to balance riding the horse and shooting, you just have to stay on the chariot cab and shoot that's it.Right now I see chariots get mulched by foot archers. So lemme look at projectiles tab. There's a lot but to keep it simple:>>phar_arrow_bow_tier_3Range is 160Damage is same>>phar_arrow_bow_tier_3_chariotRange is 145Damage is sameNot seeing any real differences otherwise. So right away a charioteer is going to get clapped by a foot archer since more men, more range, yes not as mobile but so what? Also you knwo a pet peeve of mine? Egypt has these ratchet ass rail chariots, and heavy wooden ones with truck-bed dump-truck-ass rears. They should be 1/2 to 1/3rd the actual size. I was able to pull this off with editing the model in a real ratchet way but there was an animation issue that broke it, but fundamentally the guys could still stand on the shrunk cab. I'm going to try and revisit it in the future as I think shrinking the model and then shrinking the target size as anon mentioned would help them out.
>>546904097I dunno, he looks bvllgarian enough
>Aislinn has anti-infantry but not APWhyOutside of T1/T2 units there's no reason not to add AP on anything
>>546904505he's a feeble elf, not a strong dawichad or chosenite
>>546904213Might want to check accuracy as well, since they fire from a vantage point compared to infantry
>>546902424Yeah, I tried Victoria 3 a few times and I realized thinking about playing it is more fun than actually playing it because me brain is smooth
>>546904505Most LL don't have AP.
>>546903070I suspect that it's the issue of them being familiar with features of their version of the engine and not WH3's(amongst other behind the scenes problems indicated by delays). I'm not sure how much of the work they've helped with before if any but Pharaoh/Troy's models look good with the incorporation of their diffuse maps and the lighting. If you just ripped them from Troy or Pharaoh and ported them into 3K for instance they'd probably look flat without some tweaking. I don't share >>546904097 opinion, I think the base model looks fine, but like it's lacking diffuse or specular details like it's being seen through a file viewer rather than the game
>>546904213Why Horse Sad :(
>>546904505Non-AP still fucking hurts, try using a juiced up dwarf lord
>>546905639
Wow, just found out that Nagash was a n00b. WTF, my life is ruined.
Coolest chaosfag in the game.
>>546905891Nagash...was...le...WEAK
>>546906050That's not Sigvald
>>546905891>Skaven just give some guy a knife>he just walks up and stabs niggashLMAO so weak
>>546906114Sigvald is the lames and least effective chaos chosen to ever exist. One time he does something he jobs and dies.
>>546861001
>>546906401>One time he does something he jobs and diesThis describes literally every chaos champion before Archaon
>>546861001>>546906524Its so fucking funny that the coolest part of the new DLC is Squid boy clowning on some Asur.
>>546861001>insane buff lord barely loses to solely duelling lord
>>546906401Isn't Sigvald the only Destruction-aligned character in the lore that actually invaded Ulthuan, went deep into it, got what he came for, got bored and then left without being defeated? Everyone else that's ever invaded either died like Grom, or got scalded so fucking hard it marked them for centuries like Malekith or N'kari.Only other character to get to do that wasn't Destruction and needed his whole fucking race to back him up (Gotrek Starbreaker).
>>546906579Sigvald is the only chaos champion that never actually did anything. Wulfric raiding Ulthuan triggered Teclis coming to the Empire. The ONE time Sigvald stopped hiding in the chaos wastes he was killed by a troll.
>>546861001>he ever doubted the KRAKEN LORD
>>546906702He was always fucking basedhttps://youtu.be/uKz5GQDwFyE
>>546906761>invades the ancestral home of the High Elves and actually fucking wins>then proceeds to get literally shit and pissed on by ThrogSigvald the Jobber
>>546906730Considering Lokhir is a FLC lord with a single ability to his name he did better than expected.
>>546906702Tying new characters in with old characters is actually something they really should have been doing moreLike Vlad appearing in Hammerstorm's trailer or Immortal Empires trailer in general
>>546898482The joke is that Khorne gives you your body goal but also takes away all the interest you might have outside of war.someone post that khorne meme.
>>546905639No oats given, only hayOats were stolen by green horse
>>546906935Throgg is one of the greatest champions of chaos. He's far more powerful than Sigvald ever was.
>>546906887>I see you druchii, but do you see me? Do you witness what I wear? Then BOW.I gotta respect how often he pulls the drip card despite looking like the biggest clown on the seas
>>546907201Silence MONGREL!
>>546906887>dedicate an entire DLC to zombie vampire pirates>the coolest sea dwelling character remines some fucking elf with a silly octopus maskFucking HOW does he do it?!
>>546906842>Wulfric raiding Ulthuan triggered Teclis coming to the Empire....Wulfrik wasn't even alive during the Great War Against Chaos. And his excursion into Ulthuan didn't trigger jackshit because he landed on the shore of Cothique, killed a bunch of elf maidens that were praying, then lost his entire warband except for one man as well as the Seafang except for the dragon head and had to run away. He didn't even get deep into Ulthuan, he didn't even manage to raid it, he just killed a bunch of civilians, got into an admittedly really big scrap and then lost everything.
https://youtu.be/KtdlQ1srVEQ?si=OtAgeTLVDBOB0LA_It's up
>>546905639His favorite uma lost the race>>546904784They looked the same but that'd be another thing to tweak. The ideal in my mind would be the chariot is a machine gun vehicle - you either use volume of foot archery to try and kill it or terrain and mob it, but if it has free rain it should mulch your frontline up. For vanilla the chariot archer should be as scary to deal with as a horse archer.
>>546907365His mask would be cooler if the model didn't make it look like it was made out of jelly with the way it stretches as he moves.
>>546877567Slaanesh. There is a very real possibility that instead of one of the super hot and ripped guys that are constantly having sex and becoming perfect swordmasters, I instead become one of the fat guys that are permanently snoozing in a palanquin and surrounded by food... but that's still way better than the other options so.
>>546907546>zombie vampire piratesI prefer the term https://youtu.be/nBn3urmliyE?t=224
>>546907572are darktidefags still on suicide watch?
>>546907858Always
>>546907695https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856830592Here you go bro.
>>546907757Hell yeah
Khalida is kinda cute no?
>>546907820>Dead-Things of the Big Drowny LakeExtremely intelligent characters who talk like total knuckle dragging retards is one of my favorite tropes.
>>546907607Yeah because I think I've read somewhere that fire at will is bugged in Dynasties so I don't know if changing RoF alone will make them good at their intended job.
>Aislinn DLC>most of the memes are about THE KRAKEN LORDHelves are a joke.
>>546907572I'm surprised Vermintide got Naval combat before any Total War Game since it released
>>546908101very cute
>>546908340Aislinn has no personality nor a interesting model(well he never had a model he was just a generic prince on the TT). Meanwhile Lokhir was made so popular by TW that they made a entire chapter of the Lustria book in the Warhammer rpg about him looting liggers to death.
YA, KLONKLAV! WULTHRON MA GUL!
>>546908340>I-I am the s-sea lord ass-aisli->KRAKEN LORD OF KAROND KAR, COMMANDER OF THE BLESSED DREAD, BRINGING SACRIFICES TO MATHLANNThere was never a chance
>>546908640I'm not joking when I say that when Aislinn showed up in the trailer I unironically thought>Why the fuck are they dedicating a part of the trailer to Lokhir fighting some generic High Elf lord?Before realizing that its actually fucking Aislinn. His design is so fucking shitty and generic, I can't believe it.
>>546877567Tzeentch overall. I like thousand sons, I like magic, but I also like a sturdy frontline. Thousand Sons have rubric marines for that and in TW they are flat upgrades to chaos undivided equivalents, with barrier being a nice free missile soaker.>>546908131I'll have to test as I do more texture and model fiddling than playing. Another idea would be to limit them to just direct fire (but buff it) since it's hard for me to see charioteers doing indirect arc fire. But that is something cavalry could do in real life so no reason chariots couldn't, and that might lead to aiming issues.Another thing is to mitigate the terrain penalty for Egyptian chariots. Shit was so light one man could carry them on his shoulders, and the problem with "Sand slows down chariots" is that seems to apply to both great arabian dunes (which is fine) and sand. You know, the thing that gets everywhere and is everywhere. If that was a serious issue for chariots I think maybe the Hykos and Egyptians wouldn't have used them in Egypt. Or the Garamantines using them in the SAHARA DESERT. I believe it's just a 20% penalty for either medium or light chariots but while I wouldn't say get rid of it, I'd say maybe make a chariot weight class for desert power chariots that doesnt' suffer the penalty and apply it for appropriate Egyptian ones.
>>546908438hmm i prefer her undead...
>>546908861He actually downgrades Eltharion and Teclis by looking similar to them, it drags them all down
>Slaanesh is the coomer go-ACKKNEEL!
>>546908997you can always kill her
>>546909042I feel like his design would have been infinitely improve by him not also having a pointy helmet. Going helm-less and having some sort of animal pelt cloak to look more like a sea faring Elvish Viking dude would have been way better in my opinion.
>>546909092Shite
>>546909092H-He looks like me..Thank you
>>546909219Or at the very least going fully masked.We don't have any masketta man representatives on the high elf side, yet they're calling in lothern skycutters. What a missed opportunity.
>>546909092>That's must be the feller who masturbates all day long!
Shame we will never get the new pestigor design.
>>546909929Yeah that goat skull aesthetic is pretty good ngl
>>546909929CA would fuck the design anyway. They are incapable of making good models anymore.
HOPEchads know that the models are bad because all the effort is going into the new games. Trvst.
>>546910673Faith is purest when it is unquestioning
>>546910673Never half ass two things. Always full ass one thing.
>>546875045>Pharaoh is shit. It has the same problem as WH whereBecause its ultimately a 'history' game that's designed like a Warhammer game which is why everyone thinks it feels off in some way. Even down to trying to make ""legendary characters"" out of some bronze age people where everything we actually know of them is like a sentence on a clay pot that was found.

>>546910984Troy and Pharaoh are build off Attila and Thrones of Britannia not Warhammer.
>>546911458warhammer is build off attila tho
>>546911584So you are saying Attila is a fantasy game?
>>546911704Yes.Attila doesnt look finnish enough
ogres my lord
>>546909623HE SAYS HE WANTS SOME GOOD OL FASHIONED COLA
>>546909623>>546912071I hate Pills
>>546895764>>546896297>>546895764No elves live more than 2000/2500 years old without help from magic or some god-blessing.>+ 7000 yearsMorathi: magic / blessingCaledor: out of time>+- 7000 yearsMalekith: magic>+- 6000 yearsAlith: blessingHellebron: magic+- 5000 yearsTullaris: blessing>+- 2200 years Ariel: blessingMost elves die of old age long before that, Tyrion and Teclis father was only few century when he died of old age, Phoenix King Bel Shanaar reigned for 1700 years before being killed by Malekith.
>>546911458They're built off Warhammer, pretty sure the game even creates a Warhammer folder in appdata
>Bel ShanaarSissyKing wasnt even man enough to duel him...
>>546912703This is because they are enlightened by their own intelligence
>>546911704no, I am saying that warhammer is a historical game
Imrik is jealous of Aislinn.
>>546908861I don't know how they made Eltharion such a chad, but then made this guy look like the most generic lord possible.
>>546908861All HE look the same, talk about the same, and think the same
>>546912703Malekith doesn't use magic to live long. He was 4000+ years old before he even started learning magic. He has godblood in his veins.
So hey CA, can I have my slave mechanics back?
>>546908340Lokhir has amazing memetic potential due to being made when the game was actually good, having like 10 great lines, and being hammy without going over the top. He has tons of character, and didn't need his incredibly OP buffs and start position in 3 to be a good, fun LL
>>546915542>slavesthey'll be minimal wage employees in the next rework
>>546887728Most historical games aren't gold checks, in fact it was the norm in the old games for units to get LESS cost effective the further up you went in the tech tree.Rome 2 is like the only pre-WH game where battles are goldchecks but that game is just a design mess in general.
>>546911458Why does it have the UI of warhammer?
chalk talk ash!
>>546915542Yes, after their DLC pack oh wait
THE KRAKENLORD ALLLLWAYS WINS
>>546915687only HE dares!
Ahhhhh is there a better feeling in TW than firing a full broadside from a first rate
Do we know what the next dlc after tides is going to be about? Vampire counts?
>>546812489>come into consciousness>"take this spear and stab that orc" is all you know>get some good licks in>get clobbered>back to a void>come into consciousness>"grab this spear and stab that bretonnian!"sounds pretty kino. If they get enough time on a march and focus real hard they can probably remember who they serve. Sounds pretty decent for an afterlife in WHF.
>>546917561Vampires, Beastmen, Cathay. According to the chinese leak that predicted ToT.
>>546917707What leak?
>>546917707There’s no way this is real. There’s nothing left to add for beastmen.
>>546917561Coast and Counts are probably the most in need of a DLC tier rework/update (Bretonnia too but they're unlikely). I think Druchii are getting a bit this go around, Lokhir is in half the trailers and Morathi is getting some nice stuff for sure. I'd like Hellebron to get some work but I think she's getting the Volkmar/Markus treatment. Skaven I could see getting some attention, those DLC's sell well. Maybe the fabled Geomantic Web rework? Maybe Moonclaw?
>>546918143breeding mechanic
>>546918143Leak says Moonclaw. After that is the End TImes DLC with Nurgle, Empire, Cathay as the main headliners with a dozen of other small changes for other factions and the leaker says Ulthuan will sink in the End Times map.
>>546918360What units could possibly be added for vampire counts and Cathay?
>>546918360Oh and Empire is getting two lords in the ET DLC. One of them is described as a Avatar of Sigmar. So either dead Karl or Valten.
total ratchad victory
>>546918360Nagash and some rat is also being added by the last DLC.
>>546918569Counts have Neferata, Abyssal Terrors, Spirit Hosts, they've got enough for a DLC I think. They could even do like special bloodline lords that are named characters with unique skills and models, and give VCunts another 5 LL's that just don't have their own campaigns, or LH's.Cathay has plenty of possibilities. Monke units, moar elementals, chariots even, they could poach Tigermanii too.
>>546918360What units could you get to go along with Moon Claw?I can only think of more marked Beastmen or a better Archer unit for the Beastmen
>>546919541Monkey King
>>546919541Marked gors with alternative weapons for one. New monsters units from the monstrous arcanum etc.
>>546919541mindbroken elves (weapon variants)
>>546919736>New monsters units from the monstrous arcanumare they any left which aren't Dragons?
>>546919293More crazy mythological non-Human monsterous units for Human factions would be fucking cool.
>>546897215Pretty sure Morathi bath, army books seem to be consistent about it (only 8th ed is unclear about it).
>>546919541beastfiends, variants of chaos spawn like that big doggo unit, centigors (dual weapons).Maybe some kind of daemon unit recruitment in exchange for dread could be cool
>>546919893Death and fire elementals?
ah shit its this guy
>>546920117That would make Morathi's cauldron work the same as Hellebrone's. She also bathes only once a year during death night.
>>546920175time for skeleton horsemanii to be useful lul
>>546919541Nothing because Beastmen got every monster from Norsca, Kislev and Warriors of Chaos with each update
>>546920147So not one that would suit a Beastmen roster
>>546920660Beastmen know the lore of death. That's the only requirement.
>>546920818/twg/gers don't know warhammer lore they only know watch legend and lie
>>546908340>Only thing Aislinn had for him was "i'm le racist elf hating all lesser races">Dark Elves are way more racistHe also had racism toward Halfling for no reason but Leitdorf literally tried to genocide them for no reason
Be honest with me, how big do you think beastman cock is? Are they uncut? Do you think they have a lot of dick cheese?
>inb4 he replies to himself detailing his beastcuck fantasy

>>546921442>Legend is well versed
>>546921442Nah he was always reading shit from a wiki. The shit one at that.
>>546921395>>546921396Do you think they cum a lot? Do they shoot ropes?
>>546920301The thing about Hellebron's cauldron and probably all the other no-name Hag Queens if they lived long enough is she need more blood each year and the rejuvenating effect lasts for a shorter time each year (she doesn't even stay young for a whole year anymore).Morathi probably doesn't have this problem with her own cauldron.
