Thanquol soon, friends!
>Even a video of a dead TW game gets more views in 9 hours than an EU5 video in over 24 hoursLegend bros... Was the pivot a bad idea?
Bretonnia rework when?
Despoilers.
>>547981370>$20 from ads >$1000 from Paradox per video
>>547981290Are you going to continue until Thanquol releases or until he gets announced? There's a decent chance he gets announced on 4th December as part of the ET DLC.
>>547981423Can't get enough of her.
>>547981605Until he's released, friend.
>>547981605ET isn't the next DLC. They still have 1/2 DLCs before it.
>>547981647Doesn't she molest young bretonnian boys that possess natural inclination to magick?
>>547981370Playing total war has driven him insane so I think the revenue loss is probably worth the health benefit for him
I should figure out which factions pay upkeep for their mounts and which ones don't.Norsca does: you get your Lord on foot every end turn and back on the Mammoth at the start of the next turn, and you pay zero - otherwise you feed the Mammoth.The Skaven don't: you can get your Lord on a Bonebreaker or on foot and it makes no difference, you pay the same.The other factions? No idea
I should do a bret campaign
Kislev is still my favorite human faction.
>>547982138No she just scarifies them on a altar.
>>547981423>AP ranged bullshit in my fair bretonnia?Non
>>547982364Judging by their size relative to other human soldiers I'd say they're actually half-ogres.
>>547979697Hummm because legend is no more? Multicucks now rule this franchise
>>547982660Norscans are even bigger, bro. I guess the super cold winds make everyone taller, wouldn't be surprised if the norscan dawi were slightly taller than their cousins too.
>>547982364I confederated Morathi in a very precarious situation
Repostan polls till Dec 4th, vote what you think will happenWhich 2 Total War games do you think will get revealed?https://strawpoll.com/7rnzVA9W6nOHow do you think the quality of the reveal show will be?https://strawpoll.com/w4nWW53VWnA
>>547983423She will give the heir of Aenarion a new heir.
>>547983880isn't she barren?
>>547983364>Multicucks now rule this franchiseNeed at least 8 people for a ruling council I'm afraid
>>547983798I voted for those two because "nothing" wasn't an option
>>547983798>Medieval 3 topMedievalfags are gonna freak when CA reveals something retarded instead
>>547979441Are these unit portraits AI?They look like AI
>>547982337enchantress is cheating
>>547985152It will be Medieval 3 but it will have King Arthur, Merlin, dragons, orcs, goblins, dwarves and shiieett
>>547985247Holy shit the lords and heroes have mobile game shading. Look like edgy Clash of Clan OCs
>>547985328>Medieval 3(historical)>Medieval 3(fantasy)These are the two games that will save CA and please everyone.
>>547985247I think at least some of them are. Maybe not the Helf monsters... but everything else could be
>>547985247Masque seems less uglyDechala on the other hand, is way uglier on that pic
>>547985247I don't think they're AI, but they do look completely different from the unit cards we have now. Like, compare the recoloured Swordmasters of Hoeth card with all the other cards. They look like they're from different games.
>>547985247100% aisloppa
>>547985247Definitely sloppa.
>>547985762>>547986003TW40K is never happening
any way to play release version of wh3?
>>547986082Yes there is
>>547986082No there isn't
>>547986139ok how
>>547986082Maybe there is?
>>547986259You press play
>>547986082Maybe there isn't.
>>547986259Use steam roll back
>>547986082>>547986259pirate it
>>547986498only goes back to 6.0.0>>547986570not cracked
>>547981116They should change Nightmaw from a wind spell to a summon before release.
>>547986708small norscan colony please understand
Is Ham of War 3 worth it? I played a bunch of 2 but none of the new factions really grab me besides Chorfs. I keep hearing the game is shit and broken but some of the new lords for factions I like look fun
>>547986259
>>547986826It's worth it don't let fags complaining stop you from having fun, if you're really unsure WH2 owners can play WH3 immortal empires map with whatever faction they own when the next WH3 dlc comes out on the 4th so you can wait til then to see if the game runs well on your set up and if you like whatever changes they made.
>>547984596With enough power, you can refire even a dying star.
>>547978529Getting to late to fully render this tonight.Let me know if you have any preferences for her heraldry or anything.
>>547987224cool I will try it thx
I hate the Vow/Troth system
where are the ushabti (great weapons), ushabti (halberds) and ushabti (troll hammer torpedoes)
Turn 146 of my Gorbad one. This is the core of his thematic army. They are eating flesh from each other. Second army is all about wolf shit and venom Arrer Boyz
>>547987570The worst part is when you forget to set them and fight battles that would have completed them. I usually confed Bret factions late in the campaign because the AI cheats, so they have a bunch of heroes and lords with the grail vow.
>>547987570how should it work?
>>547987328Based thanks, looks cute.Imo give her a Bordeaux scheme in honor of Alberic also getting mini-update for sea attacking.
>>547987823Ummm... excuse me. Legend said Giants are bad and that you shouldn't use them.
>>547986826It's better graphics and they updated the UI in nice ways, like the new health bars. However it's easier and there is something wrong with the AI. Also the new siege maps have the AI stupider than ever.
>>547985152We're all gonna freak when they reveal it's something retarded instead. It's not going to be anything that any of us wanted. That's their MO.
>>547987885I hate doing this. I developed a habit of checking every single lord/hero at the start of every turn>>547987964Make it work at least like the Path to Glory system where you don't need to manually set them. Ideally getting one done automatically activates and you can access the next level, but you're not locked out of the previous level
Total War Napoleon 2 will save TW on 4th December.
>>547988948tw eragon too
I think they'll just announce a Saga game as the historical title and the corresponding Mythos game for the Fantasy title.
They will use Artificial Intelligence for the Total War conference.
I like Doombreed. As I remember his weapon was a some kind of stick. Can we possible have him in the future? This would be like a less retarded Skarbrand.
>>547988948BROADSIDEROADSIDE
>>547989265It's spelt aragorn, and I don't think TW Aragorn is the best name for a LOTR total war game, he's important but not the most important person in the setting.
>>547989496I forgot how good naval combat was in these games. What a spectacle.
>>547989557no retard. eragon.
>>547989609*aragorn
>>547985152It was plausible in the past but I think CA learned the lesson from Pharaoh. I still harbor my suspicions about the india_ body models in Pharaoh. They have to have had some reason to work on that, and the only conceivable ways I can think of are:>1) The scrapped campaign for Pharaoh DLC was Mahabharata. Since a cursory glance says around 1200 is a plausible date. But there's just nothing we know of between India and Elam as polities/cultures. So it'd be a separate campaign with no ability to recycle existing content.>2) The scrapped campaign was some kind of rise of Iran or somethingThis feels most likely to me. I've campaigned for the 8th-7th century and it would allow for a campaign that isn't just the exact same as Pharaoh's but is mostly the same with some new stuff. It is a shame we didn't get it as that would have actually been fun>3) India: Total war was a thing, but they scraped itWhat period? Ancient does not have the material for DLC, Medieval is maybe but why only the Indian bodies as vestiges?>4) India: Total war is a thing, and they did not scrap itBut it makes no sense to do that. There is interest in Egypt (Just not warfare), there is interest in the trojan war (And it did fine in sales), there is interest in Babylon and Assyria (just not in warfare for the former). There is zero for India.>5) India is going to be in Medieval 3 and they included itBut why not any other vestiges? Or will Byzantines have the phar_man_body_hittite_02 or whatever the skin is called?I'll just assume that it was either #2 or #5, and more likely #2.
https://youtu.be/2L47JwR9vDs>People acting like slaanesh is le coomer god when slaanesh is actually link relatedISHYGDDT
>>547989496This looks total ass. Is this what Histfags have been crying about all these years?
>>547989729They might have planned an alexander focused expansion that would include india that could use troy assets.
Kislev.
>>547985152I think with the success of EU5, CA might pivot away from Medieval 3. It's just not feasible for them to compete with Paradox.
total war indiatotal war star warswe already know these are the new games
>>547989838Why does it look like ass?
>>547989590They're so chickenshit about doing naval combat again for some reason. It's unavoidable, or should be unavoidable, for anything 1500s onwards but I expect them to chicken out of it if we get medieval 3. What really galls me is how it cockblocks factions who are meant to be maritime tall-not-broad, since you can't field some elite corps of sailors as you're still forced to fight a field battle with some gigachad enemy army. I'd even tolerate just some lopsided autocalc benefit. But my fear is going to be in M3 as Venice or the Byzantines you have to attack a transport stack of Normans and haha instead of getting to fight them at sea now you get to fight a doomstack of norman knights on a map with a shallow puddle (vampire coast tyle).I don't think even they have the audacity to do a 18th century game with non naval combat though. Imagine that lmao. General Horatio Nelson fighting the French at sea - resulting in a land battle on an island.>>547989879Alexander's a bit too far in terms of recycling material (Greek cities looking drastically different), I figure Cyrus would be the leading candidate. You get a yas qween with Tomrys too.
>>547985247This isn't G&P/T&T level bad before the patch but the cards range from good to flat, specifically the monsters in this pack
>>547990003Total War: Star Wars would have gotten leaked by now.
>>547990003theres a chaotic evil part of me that would love this it would piss off so many people
>>547990112idk nigga, just wanted to spread negativity
>>547989953is that a female ork?
Total War 40K and Total War Star Wars will never happen because CA would have to make naval battles (in space)
Full thematic endgame army. Gorbad vs any chaff and the rest against the monsters/lords
>>547990420understandable heres a video of professional ice skaters using the shogun 2 soundtrack anywayhttps://youtu.be/yzQ-cOX5mRs?si=X_bl4Qx8veXPAZad&t=62
>>547990640they could also never make whfb because they would have to make naval battles again
>>547990567>yellow as a toad>twice as uglyGithyanki. Ayys from DnD.
No reliable person has actually leaked anything.
>>547990804The core whfb setting, aka the Old World is not known for naval battles. No one thought naval battles were missing from Total War: Warhammer 1 because the setting did not need them. The absence only became noticeable after they introduced elves and vampcoast, but by then, it was too late to add naval battles.Star Wars and 40K would need space battles at launch, else the setting will feel entirely incomplete.
>>547990640Like I had on that bingo 40k can just do space battles as boarding action, taking place in some kind of inside a spaceship battle (think underpaths in WHF)>>547990761My favorite song to listen to when I played RS1 and charged roundeye positions. Still amazes me they made the fucking Japs with their dogshit guns the most fun to play.
>>547991028I'm leaking into your mother as we speak
>>547991280>40K would need space battles at launch, else the setting will feel entirely incomplete.anon I've got bad news
Is there any mod that lets you buff certain factions? I want to play Sayl, but don't want Cathay/Miao to already being dead or on her last legs from fighting Vilitch Zhatan Snitch and Lokhir

>>547994225I genuinely believe the full maps of the Mortal Realms are some sort of trade secret that GW doesn't want to divulge.We only have one or two full maps, the rest are unknowable.
>>547994383perfect for this general then
>>547994651Trade secret? What exactly do they have to hide? I didn't think maps were copyrightable
>>547994730perfect for /vst/ you mean
>>547994383>he is agender>he has the looks of an Anvil of the Eldenhammer.>he has the voice of an Anvil of the Eldenhammer.>he has the personality of an Anvil of the Eldenhammer.>he has the origins of an Anvil of the Eldenhammer.>he has the grim harshness of an Anvil of the Eldenhammer...."wait you didn't come up with a single character trait or story for this character? He's just a generic Anvil of the Eldenhammer?">he is agender..."yes you already said that... anything else? Anything at all?">...and uuuh... he likes the doggo!..."okay".
>>547994796I just know they never show the full maps.Hysh is one of the few realms where I believe they did show it all, and the "big reveal" was that it looks symmetrical.For the other maps they only show pieces.
TW AOS fans will easily be forced out of this general. They'll probably start crying when someone says nigger or faggot.
>>547994651If I was thinking in terms of creative design then the desire would be to not delineate everything if you intend to backtrack on it at some point. It's more that they just don't care and the realms are so hazily broad that it's difficult to depict. I may be wrong here but I figure that the realms are less "Hysh is like (map of earth), Ulgu is like (Map of the old world), Chamon is like (map of LOTR)" but more like the hells in D&D where god knows where it ends.One of the reasons I hate AoS, multiverse just makes me instinctively seethe. There are times I can work with it but generally I dislike it.
What DLC are we getting between ToT and ET? The leak that turned out to be true about all of ToT's content said 1-2 dlcs in between though of course they could have gotten scrapped.I think one DLC's gonna be Dogs of War and the other one will be Nagash
Does cream still work with tww3?
>>547994383Every single TWW LL says TRANS RIGHT btw
>>547996182no you have to use butter now
>>547996182idk, still works with your mom though
>>547996252butter? i hardly know her
>>547996182It works but you need to download some extra stuff. Check the rin forum as usual
>>547995823this idea that the realms are "hazily broad" and gigantic is an idiotic line GW said in some article in 2015 and they're never living it down.The truth is that the realms have a map, and they're always very consistent, ever since the beginning....but for some reason they won't show them.We need to live in fucking limbo and constantly guess where things are.Look at the picture: the one on the left was shown in 2015it took them TEN YEARS to show the zoomed out version on the right.
>>547994383I hate that haircut so fucking much
>Kislev' secret police was called ChekistAre GW really that daft?
>>547994383Unfortunately trannies and their useful idiots have done a lot of damage to our culture in general, fortunately it's being reversed. Even if it'll take a while to undo all their stupid shit. For example that "Warhammer is for everyone" guy at GW was fired after he started celebrating the whole Kirk thing.
>>547994383They made humans into high elves?
Sex with elves
>>547997620>the whole Kirk thing.charlie was a big proponent of how random shootings in public are good actually, it's what he would have wanted
>>547997756And they made high elves into beastmen
>>547998093Don't you have some reddit karma to go farm before that dying echochamber shuts down?
Anyone actually playing a Total War game right now? Or at least played it today.

>>547994383Oh no not this ugly hair. I dont fucking know who even would find this even ugly in a cool way (like for the degenerate characters)
>>547994225Most people can't even name the AOS characters that aren't directly ported over from FB. Then again, most people can't name most characters in 40k either given all the Space Marines blend together.
>>547999301Krem/Richard Spencer's haircut, just a bit longer
>>547999514krethusa owes me sex
People aren't ready for the 40k reveal next month. Nor are they ready for it being based on CA's' work with Halo Wars 2.
>>548000119People also aren't ready for me dumping several years worth of screencaps with people coping "It's not possible to make 40k TW"
>>548000540It's not possible for TCACALLUKBI to make a good 40k TWForgive me for moving the goalpost slightly, but lets be real it was always about how shitty it was going to be and not if it was """possible""" lets up the difficulty here.
>>548000119>>548000540you said this last yearand the year before thatand the year before that
>>548004020This, TW40K predictors are like the Rapture predictors of Total War. I'm not even saying that 40K isn't coming, but if you constantly make predictions that >it's totally coming on X for real this time guysthen eventually you'll either be right by sheer accident or you'll spam this shit for eternity because technically nobody can prove it's not going to happen.

where did all the history enjoyers go to when fantasy came outill probably go there when 40k is announced
>>548007721probably discords
>sayl campaign preview>he losesAnd this would make me want to play him how?Oh, its like those slop-tier mobile game ads where they play like shit on purpose, right?
>>548007721/vst/ but that's legitimately one of the worst vidya boards on this website. Maybe Fantasy Chad could bring life to it.
Do you think the IS line will be basegame or will the USSR have to wait for them in DLC? I'm guessing the Germans are getting the PzIII and Tiger just to flaunt tanks for a bit. USSR will probably get T-34 and KV-1 on release. Not bad, not good. IS-2 and T-34-85 being obvious DLC picks for the Red Army like the Panther and King Tiger would be for the Wehrmacht
>>548007830/vst/ is on-topic, just slow as a glacier.
>try sisters of twilight because I've never played welves>somehow all the welves back home get into wars and get rolled despite never doing anything in every other campaign>I get ikkit, grom and kemmler all trying to burn my trees down>grombrindal owns malekith and declares on me despite having alith anar and cylostra as a bufferI don't think I understand how their campaign is supposed to work or I got unlucky with the AI going crazy.
>>547992176just team up with them to kill villitch and the rest and then betray them
>>548008748>I got unlucky with the AI going crazyNah I'm pretty sure the AI behaves differently depending on which faction you play in order to provide a challenge. Natural enemies tend to get boosted AI while natural allies tend to be more passive and useless.
>>548010014I used to think there was a player bias when boasting certain AI factions, but after playing an Alberic campaign in which almost every single region got united by an order faction, I no longer think that's true. Its pure RNG.
>>547995679As opposed to present /twg/ who's instinct is to go mental and become a ritualposter when people shit on your faction
>>547997257You just know we're getting Broccoli-hair boys for the Old World. Just you wait
>>548010640I always knew the ligger fags would betray /twg/ in the end.
Lmao why is this bug still in this game?
>>548012696because you have to go out of your way to make it happen and its funny
>>548012816I didnt though? All I did was ask them and they said yes lmao
>>548012864Yes, its player agency only that activates it
>>548007808>Don't just attack the Great Bastion because it would supposedly be too hard>Instead, get into wars with Zhatan, Tamukhan and Grimgor to "prepare" to take the Bastion>Specifically recruited a Great Shaman of *fire* to fight the Chaos DwarvesIt was either that or deliberate trolling.

>>547985247Whoah, he is just like me.
>>547994383Histfags always bitch about Warhammer Fantasy but shit like this just proves that Fantasy is the best of all possible Warhammer IPs CA could have chosenAt least there's SOME historical basis in Fantasy, and there's NO tranny shit or modern political crap in it like there is in 40K and AOS (if only because it didn't live long enough for that to be added)
>>548010313It's RNG but weighted, and how heavily depends on campaign difficulty. On VH the only faction that doesn't seem to shit the bed if you're friendly is Greenskins because WAAAGHs and force confed are just that strong.
>>548007913>Tankfag autismI should have no zero whatsoever worries about 40k space marine autism because I will take every bit it can throw at me and more over WW2 tank autism holy SHIT. WW2 total war and I'd check out entirely even if it'd actually be fun to play the more obscure challenging factions like Poland or Spain.>>548007721We vanished into the ether like demons when they rout. More seriously I am fine with this thread when it's engaging conversations, I just check out when it's mindless slop soi this slop that.

>>548019312When will the fucking random niggers meme finally end?All they have to do if they want niggers in the game just make them travelers from a far-off land. They don't do this, and I wonder if its literally just to piss people off or if there's some committee or consultancy group somewhere that just fucking loves it when you make European/European-inspired characters niggers for no apparent reason.
>>548019312But I thought histfags liked black women?

>>548007830what? It's the best vidya board by far
>>547985247>3 different Skycutter?
>>548027820RoR
Skycutter (helstorm rockey battery)
>>548028107>Company of the Kalendirian(Ship's Company)>Blades of Hoeth(Swordmasters of Hoeth)>Silak One-eye(Merwyrm)That's the 3 RoR.
>>548019850>>548019970I remember recruiting these and being horribly confused. Were any of the RoRs (I forget what they were actually called) in E:TW good besides the ships?Also the fucking proto-wehraboos got like 6 different special prussian units while most factions had maybe 2, just disgusting.
>>547985247Not counting the recolored old units, only Sayl's portrait looks right.
The Bulgarians spend a full year recording bespoke voice lines for every new unit in this DLC whilst observing ALL COMBINED Covid-19 Safety Regulations for the United Kingdom AND European Union... just to be ridiculed?Shame on you all. We NEED to be BETTER.
Why the fuck would anybody do diplomacy with somebody who is so untrustworthy that is moniker is "the faithless"?
>>548028621Why would anyone deal with Chaos at all or any of the dark powers of the setting?"Not gonna happen to me."
>>548028901so just like real life then
>>54798379840k won't work in a total war game. Campaign map maybe, but not battles
>>548028557does sayl have all 4 aspects of the chaos gods imbued within him since he is undivided?
>>548030017I would assume so. Though he's consorted with all sorts of beings, including the minor Chaos gods and archdaemons.
>>547994383Hi, as a trans woman who was recently introduced to /vg/ by a fellow sister on discord: this is not cool. Take these kinds of bigoted posts to /pol/. We don’t want politics on this board, both left and right wing. Sick and tired of you transphobic chuds trying to make us commit self deletion
>>548030145so he gets around alot then ehjust looking at him, he has the tentacle hand (slaanesh), the eye on his breastplate (tzeentch), but I am wondering what the khorne and nurgle marks on his form are
>>548030168do fagit
Are any of the total war games good on mobile? I've only played the total war warhammer games on pc but wanna try one of the older titles on the train today
>>548019767>>548020104More like capitalism.>Making black characters and making sure everyone sees them is good optics right? Good marketing?>Ok, so let's make some.>However, actually making them from a far off land and giving them a culture would mean we need to CREATE that far off land and that culture.>We'd also need to create a story for how they got there, if it reflects the real world conditions of how blacks arrived to western countries through slavery, if it doesn't then why did they get there anyway, etc.>That's money we'd need to spend on it, and I don't like spending money, adding this black person is supposed to make me money.>And because they're strangers then to the main faction of the game, it might mean less optics. And I don't truly give a damn about black culture or black representation, I'm just a suit in a fancy office looking at bar go up, it's already impressive I even know what we're selling. I don't care for creating a black culture, I just want the black face to plaster on our marketing.>So we'll just race swap a bunch of white characters and pretend there's always been blacks in the main faction and this european-based fantasy country set in a specific location has just always had a bunch of much more melanated folk for... some reason.>The only people that will care in a negative way are chuds and chuds will just keep buying our product no matter how much they bitch.>Money!
>>548012696the ai sits around and does nothing bug is still in the game, end game crises frequently just die because the armies group up on a single settlement and can't recruit anything
>>548030718The Empire and Medieval ports are unironically less buggy than the pc version lmao
>>548030808That makes sense.
40k is made for total war. Campaign certainly and battles for sure.
What a reinforcement length
>>547985247CA has been using AI shit since chaos dwarves, look at the event art for when a CD dies, its clearly AI that had a real artist go over it. Seems like they've double down on it. Aislinns nose bledning into hs helemt is particually egregious
>>547985247when will AI hysteria end?
>>548033209When our lord and savior (Mandalore) makes a vid on WH3 he will point this out and CA will rush to fix it just like the Stasis devs did
>>548033331his warhammer 2 video got me into the series when I always brushed it off because of the grand strategy aspect. Ended up with 1500 hours in II and a few hours off of 2000 in III now
40k Total War will be trans friendly for sure. Campaign and battles both.>>547994383>>548019312nasty chuds
>>548033430Sorry sis but they fired the guy at GW who was pushing this
>>548033331>could have pumped out videos since the launch to whip up the mob and get CA to fix the fucking game>didnt and now its too late and CA has abandoned itAnd you call this guy our saviour?
>>548033558His autism demands that he plays obscure shit instead, but with mechanicus 2 and TW 40k on the horizon he'll be back, they cant resist the grim dark
>>548033678Fair enough, the autism must flow.
>>548033331I think if he makes a TW3 video about the debacle that was, he will not mention the AI notifciation art amongst all the other glaring errors and mistakes made since TW3 launched.But it is AI right?? I always thought some of the chaos dwarf art was weird but it clicked on my last playthrough that its AI but I maybe going crazy
>>547985247the preyton card looks like shit
>>547985247There's a few bits that make me think it isOne, the neck of the bird head of the chimera seems to go in front of the dragon head, as if the neck of the dragon head was much longer and coming out of the right shoulder and snaking around the bird headTwo, the merwrym seems to have some large teeth that are facing sideways, which are much smaller on the actual model, but the AI portrait is also missing the tusks on either side of the merwyrm model's mouthThree, the sea-helm's nose seems to go in front of the right side of his helmet's faceplate
>>547985247Tim is right

>>548035585they need to nerf pretty much all campaign mechanics. but it will never happen.

>>547989496blows my mind that anybody wants this boring slogfest bag in any TW game. so glad naval combat is gone
>>548036108Ind is mentioned in the Old World. Nippon in the 4th ed rpg
>>548037187and the games are more bare than ever despite that it should have freed up lots of resources
>>548037187tiktok has really fucked an entire generation
>>548037187It's a VERY vocal minority
>>548037187Naval battles are cool and sovlful but yeah they're rarely fun to play out after the first couple of times. I would be more okay with them getting removed if it felt like we got something in exchange for all that freed up dev time, but it doesn't feel like we got anything for it.
>>548038696People will point to magic but half of those are just basic bitch buffs with very, very unimpressive and outright ugly visual effects.Monsters are more visually impressive (except for the near total lack of monster on monster animations, see giants hitting each others feet etc) but gameplay wise they are functionally either reskinmed cavalry, or elephants/single entity elephants.Dont get me started on how fucking lazily they did flying units.
One week left to repent and embrace 40k I to your heart, deniers! Repent, for the end is nigh!
I would be fine with getting units in early tiers if there were some damn unit caps.
>>548037187Mount and Blade Bannerlords just released with naval warfare and its mad kino
>>548040136It isn't really though, even the content slop creators are saying it gets repetitive and dull after the first couple of battles. It's a cool thing to have in the game, but it's not worth the dev time of putting it in there.
>>548036976Even plebbit while they hate him can't deny he's right
reminder that you couldnt steamroll in wh2 this is unique to the dumbed down wh3theyre killing your gameand what are you doing?talking about ecelebs

>>548040953will that work with LL.com mods?
>>548040953neat
>>548040878Arguably that's mostly because of the Supply Lines.WH2 = 15% on legendaryWH3 = 4% on legendaryBretonnia on the other hand while not having Supply Lines in both games - in WH2 suffered from badly balanced and bugged cavalry, but you could still steamroll with Peasant units provided you used industry for money and not farms.
>>548041890also public order penalties
>>548041948I think those stayed the same after Twisted and Twilight DLC for WH2. But I don't remember well enough.
>>547985247Not generative , but a filter over the model. Been that case for a while.The Silverin Guard unit card still has the knuckles clipping through the shield.
>>548042190you telling me that CA doesn't have a pack of labourers painting unit cards?
>>548042386Of course they do!
>>548042386They do, just not for everything. A lot of art is very much hand drawn.I guess with the DLC team down to a skeleton crew they have to cut corners.
Moonman moonman what do you see?Fantasois and ratfags hanging from trees
>>548040953In every single game which has mod manager provided by devs you are still better off using fanmade one
>>547985247>>548042190>>548042386its the same stuff they used for the baldurs gate, but not in real time, just created in house, because if it was we would get bugs like these
>>548043732I assume they take pictures of higher res models and edit them in Photoshop
>>548043732Doesnt 3d portholes work the exact way BG3 portraits tho? Wh3 ones even get blood and injuries in real time.
Sayl streams when?
>>548040878Yes I could
New Legendkino video stopped:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Az2qZ8v2F-Q&pp=0gcJCRYKAYcqIYzv

>>548040878>reminder that you couldnt steamroll in wh2HEs, Liggers, rats, Lokhir&Malus, Vampires were all steamroll in wh2 as well wtf are you on about?
>>548044608Damn... so this is the power of p*radox...
>>548045443you do realize that Paradox pays him for every video, right?
The Kr*nor is WEAK.Legends wives daughter will starve soon.
>>548045589They've always been bad with money
>>548045589For that bald Aussies' family's sake, i hope you are right.
>>548045589That's not the point - the point is that it will be ever more humiliating for him to crawl back to TW games when paradox contract runs out and when that happens he'll be called out endlessly for a retard that he was, is and will be.
>AI streamrolling is the (you) steamrollinghang yourself retard
Skill issue.
>>548045967He was a telemarketer, I don't think he cares about being humiliated
>>548045967>humiliatingFool, his glorious return to total war is already a part of his plan. You're going to feel really stupid in a year from now when he reveals he was right all along.
Have the walking corpses always been able to fire while moving?
>>548046326>I don't think he cares about being humiliatedMaybe he's into being humiliated...
>>548047049Yes.
>>547981370>>547982191I think short term his health will improve, but Legend's temper is too short. All it takes is for Paradox to do something bad like selling 10$ portrait or soundtrack DLCs, a few viewers to point it out, and he will inevitably go on a rant. His temper will be way shorter because low viewership is concerning. Either way his channel's view ratio will get hurt, but I think what he's going to is>get Paradox's money as long as possible and take the otherwise reduced viewership hoping to keep it up as well as possible>pivot back to TW by the time of 40k or shortly after>>548045967Nah, you're wrong. He'll just make a video painting yourself as the white knight in shining armour about to save Total War and it will work out fine. It's so easy and it's guaranteed to work
>>548046514Let us all hope that he pivots from this master plan of his.
>>548047278He can't exactly said he saved TW if he won't cover it for years.
>>548045967>I laid a GENIOUS trap for CA and they fell for it! (back to warhammer videos)

>WoC have 8 LLs, the most of any factionSo it's fair to call them the protagonists of the TWW, correct?
>>548048417Protagonist is whoever has the least amount of LLs - that would be Daniel.

ORC BOAR BOYZ ON AN OPEN FIELD NED
>Sayl can unlock the 4 "allegiance to the Gods" final rewards (the unique characters).
>>547983798So according to this poll /twg/ trusts Valarak
Did CA realise that two of the four Norsca character rewards provided factionwide benefits and the other two didn't? If the unique heroes (Khorne, Slaanesh rewards) don't provide a factionwide bonus like Nurgle and Tzeentch's lords do, then there's no point going Khorne/Slaanesh.
Is this of interest?https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs/87-total-war-warhammer-iii-new-mod-manager-early-access
>>548051075Or you just dont be a min/maxxing faggot and have fun with Khorne and Slaanesh.
>>548051229>have fun that's cheating
>>548051213it fucks us who use geforce now.
>>548050424That's would be his most unique feature lmao.
>>547985247older cards used 3d models as a reference (more biased towards the 'tracing' end, which allowed some cards to portray clipping issues lol), new cards are just, well, 3d models with very simple photoshop work on top (rimlights). All lights/shadows are directly from the renderer, and also they don't even care about camerawork - some are very zoomed in and have shoddy perspectiveiirc there was one (1) dude responsible for the previous artwork, but he left during the hyenas shenaningas and was replaced by uhhhhhhhhhhhh idk maybe someone from fiver, but with the current budget i think they had to go down to fourer
Will CA be so confident as to actually reveal a new DLC pack in their anniversary stream? Maybe even a roadmap? Or will we just get a short Neferata stream? Or just a trailer to celebrate the release of ToT with a "stay tuned for more next year"?
>>548051343Isn't that at least 50% of players?
>>548051618i am still betting on a dogs of war flc reveal.
>>548051798surely there are more than 2 players, right?
Nightmaw sisters...it's over
I got the flu from unprotected sex. Which Nurgle LLs should I play?
Ok Sayl might have the best mechanics. >You cant just spam his "changing of the ways" because you will get punished>His undercities can only be established in allied or neutral factions. And those will eventually fuck you over as well.
>>547987328So even femsquires can score elves
>>548054217Karl Franz
>>548043619No shit. The point isn't to make something good, the point is to cover for the PR hit of removing something that some people used by providing a substitute.The current TW launcher is being phased out (reasonable) and had a mod manager built in. So they're just releasing a barebones standalone mod manager to replace it.
>>548054364Sayl should have loyalty mechanic as well.
>>548054364>You cant just spam his "changing of the ways" because you will get punishedReally should do something similar for Kairos. It is entirely in-character for Tzeentch to screw you over for the lulz, so making it an increased risk that the action you take is reversed on yourself if you spam it fits like a glove.
soooooooooooo im back after a 6 month breakdid they release the dlc?did they fix the game?
>>54805713040k is coming
>>548057130dlc the 4thStill can't rape elves so game is not fixed
>>548057181Disregard what this anon said he is delirious
>>548057130Medieval 2 remaster and TW:Warhammer mobile are coming
I gotta admit I will reeeeeeee so hard if there will be no W40k.
>>548058106Valrak already commanded it though.
>>548057506For the record, an M3 and an M2 remaster are mutually exclusive. If we get one the other won't be happening for years yet. CA will do everything it can to avoid inviting a comparison between their current project and their good past successes.Shogun 2 mobile is pretty likely after they finish with Napoleon though
>>548051213I hope they introduce it for the Mac version. Currently, for any non-workshop mod, you have to write a list of all the mods you want to use.
>>548058260He better be right or I'll post mean comments on his youtube videos.
New mod manager is great but it doesn't load my old mod order and some of them need to be in certain places, any solution that's not writing down the old order? I have a lot of mods.
>>548059089Go to their forums and beg them for import feature. Then pray they read it and give a single fuck.
>>547982138All we know is that she raises them into gigachad magic knights that can teleport around Bretonnia to destroy its enemies as needed, via any standing pool of water.Now we don’t know about what the training process for this involves, nor the degree of /ss/ on the part of the enchantress or her attendants.
>>548059517On a side note, what happens with male kislevites that can potentially use magicks?
>>548056034He should have a reverse loyalty mechanic where if your lords don't prove their worth to Sayl then he will begin jewing them
Tzaangors are the best Gors.
>>548059941Could also be fun.
>>548061123Been fucking the Asrai real good in my Kairos but teleported early to Bretonnia campaign
>>548058648He's right when he says to never take his rumors as gospel, this time he's making it sure for you to take it as gospel, he never does it otherwise.He probably already saw the announcement vídeo.
>>547983798>only 6 people voted that the showcase will be good quality>bad/disappointing has most votes out of the optionsDOOMBVLLS WON
They'll reveal the Total War: Dominions trilogy on the 4th.>source?it was astrally projected to my dreams

Thoughts on Bretonnia?
>>548065645Will get rework
>>548065645cant wait for CA to drop warhammer so I can make my own rework
>>548065645Boring and uninspired
>>548065763You know what, Bretonnia could really use a peasant revolutionary LL, Wat Tyler style. Could make for a fun change of pace from the usual horse-heavy gameplay
>>548065763how strong would foot knights be?
I reinstalled it.1 more week.
Any advice for Sniklch in Cathay? I've only played him in Wh2. Anyone know some good cheese?
>>548066273they would be very non existant

>>548066415Eshin slingers are amazing.
>>548066550nah I fucking hate how he plays the game. I just remember being able to expand super quickly in WH2 with Snikch thanks to his scemes and rituals. I usually rushed 8 peaks. Not sure what to do in Cathay>>548066934yeah I know, I've played Eshin tons of times. Just asking for general strats over in the Cathay start,
I think I might buy the dlc.To support CA.
>>548067230Good goy. I actually need you all to do it so CA doesn't cancel the game before I get Nagash and Thanquol

I think I might buy the dlc.To give it a bad review and shit on CA.

I really don't understand why my economy is tanking when I initially confederate a faction. Shouldn't I also be inheriting the economy of the confederated faction which was supporting all of the armies that were currently fielded?

>>548058260If Valrak is wrong his career is finished
>>548069402AI doesnt suffer from all the added upkeep youll get from inheriting their armies, its been like that in every game where you can confederate but egregiously worse in Slophammer because the game was made to be too easy so their solution was to have the AI spam armies with little to no upkeep.
this Cretan archer slaps your gfs ass on a hill and you only have the last unit you micro’d to defend yourself. Can you defend her honor, or are you about to die in a reign of long distance arrow fire? remember, their range actually improves on the high ground (lost technology pls understand)
>>548069402Because Ca is retarded. Got any more questions?
>>548070071>DoomwheelHe's toast
>>548069402It tanks because:Ai will give you a bunch of armies without economy buildingsAi economy works different and they can afford more than you with less, this also causes them to value military buildings more than other type even though ai has no system for disbanding old units to purchase new ones so they must lose their armies first before they updateInherited ai armies get the exponential extra penalty per lord and the cost of the units plus the penalty outweighs the economic gain most of the time but you can disband the lords and units you inheritThis is most of my issues with the game described at once that said still waiting for a mod that helps ai manage their shit better or for ca to do it themselves

>>548070040He himself said that in the vídeo.
>>548069402The AI cheats its income. It will field more units than its economic infrastructure could normally support, because it's getting extra money for free by existing.The simple solution is literally just to disband some of their armies, especially the worthless shitstacks full of low tier units you have no need for.
>>548069402AI don't do economy.
>>548071293>Playing N'kari so clos to ToT release.anon what are you doing?!
>>548065763I really want to get into this game for the Bretonnians, Beastmen, and Wood elves. What should I do?
>>548073307play the game....?
>>548073307Play Warhammer 2, not Slophammer 3
>>548072804Moreover I read the ca blog over why they dont do economy for ai and everything was innane garbage to me
>>548073470but he wants to play game 1 factions
>>548069939It's got enough health you probably wouldn't be able to kill it in one battle, but since it's a SEM it doesn't replenish health between battles, and it seems to have Goregreed instead of Regeneration for in-battle healing, which requires it be in melee.With this knowledge I believe you could viably chip it down with skirmishers that outspeed it or missile fliers, withdraw them when out of ammo, and then re initiate the battle the same turn to continue chipping away at it's health. Malakai with an army of the grudge settler gyros would probably be the best since they have absurd damage against single targets.

>>548075829yeah it will be a glorious day no matter what
>>548073720what reused assets are in the norsca dlc?
>>548069402Instead of making the AI able to actually manage their factions economy, they just gave AI a ton of free income and a ton of free cost reductions (especially unit upkeep) depending on difficulty. You can even see it in action if you're not playing on Legendary. Turn the difficulty from Very Hard to Normal or Hard for a few turns and you'll see the AI be forced to disband entire stacks to avoid going bust. You're going to have to fix any faction you confederate because they'll have a ton of cheated tier 1 shitstacks, and they always stack up growth and garrisons over income buildings.
>>548065421Will it have my nagas?
I am going to buy the DLC on day 1.Many of you will also buy the DLC on day 1.
>>548077305I only buy their DLC when its at least 50% off.But I wanna play Norsca so bad I will have to get theirs day 1...
>>548077305I own every dlc I think. Creamapi? For bad games or games with no room for improvement
>>548075829It will be funny for a day or two before the neurotypicals tire of all the drama and it turns into a tourists, schizos, and shills shitfest like after 6.3
>>548077189If AI was forced to use player's economy the game would be piss easy - and it's already is kinda easy even with all the handicaps on higher difficulties. Every time a player would defeat main enemy army that faction is pretty much over - rebound is impossible. The only solution for that would be to turn off autoresolve in any shape or form and make battle AI almost Alphastar lvl competent with micro and tactics - and vast majority of the players would absolutely hate it and everybody would download a mod to enable autoresolve because "cheating" would be seen as the only true way to play the game in order to have "fun".
>>548077305Yes, I will. I like all three races in the DLC, and even if I wasn't the biggest fan like with OOD, I'd still buy. CA's got me hooked, this is one of my favourite games
>>548077912Devs say theres a particular set of actions in battle map that they are forced not to use which is kind of lame. I'd personally prefer if they valued economy buildings>all other types like players do which would in turn let them build an extra army maybe with the cheats they get idk
>>548077305I have all of the DLCs. And I play all races in pvp so they are mandatory. But also they are pretty cheap.
>>548077305I dont buy sloppa, sorry
>>548078703yet you bought a total war gameinteresting

>>548079576Mommy
should I just wait for TWW3 to start playing again? im super new into this shit
>>548079576I'm just gonna burn ulthuan, like always.
>>548079971What does that mean?
>>548080137i own both of those games
>>548080178I'm unsure when the "free" wh3 immortal empires is but if its not out yet could just wait
>>548077912>If AI was forced to use player's economy the game would be piss easyI don't disagree with that. It's still an issue because the campaign map for the game is so ridiculously simplistic. Literally nothing beyond extreme aggression and ambushing matters. You can't actually cripple the AI or do anything meaninful outside of combat because their economy isn't actually real, and most of the game mechanics only actually effect the player. Heroes actions don't matter, corruption doesn't matter, cults don't matter, order doesn't matter, et cetera.>The only solution for that would be to turn off autoresolve in any shape or form and make battle AI almost Alphastar lvl competent with micro and tacticsMaking the AI hyper competent and making autoresolve actually simulate the fight instead of bashing numbers together would be my dream.
>>548080275i think its on December 4, according to meme media
>>548080357Not even EU5 has a "real" economy.
>>548079971Warhammer 3 comes out in one week so it might be best to wait, unless you wanted to learn how to play since the older games are slightly more simple, especially the dlc campaigns in Warhammer 1.
>>548080357I'd say some heroes actions are actually quite meaningful. It's just that AI is discouraged in many ways to deploy them against the player because people complained about "hero spam".
>>548081645The AI used to literally just follow your armies around with heroes and spam hero abilities on you.
>>548080484Change real to "essentially nonexistent". Look at Dominions 6 for example, another game that's extremely focused on combat. The Impossible AI also gets extreme bonuses that allows it to create and maintain an impossible amount of units and build at an impossible rate. But their bonuses are just modifiers to their existing economy. Losing a province does hamper them, you actually can cripple it to the point that it struggles to keep an army going, and map actions outside of combat not only matter, but can win fights on its own. Sure, you'll still curb stomp the AI once you learn how the game works, but the AI is still mostly playing the same game as you, albeit differences like always knowing where stealthed units are but being unable to attack them until they're properly patrolled.
>>548081984Yeah, they used to in the past. Not so much currently.
Here is the harsh, bitter truth. CA can make the AI defeat you every single time, but they won't, because they want you to win.
>>548082421You don't understand I want to be defeated
>>548082421yea no shit, they are making a video game it's a balancing act to make it fun/challenging. Getting stomped every time no matter what you do would be boring as fuck and would kill the game instantly.
Here is the harsh, bitter truth. EA can give the AI wallhacks to defeat you every single time, but they won't, because they want you to win.
>>548079132Your in OUR general, remember that.
>>547981116Are Atilla/Rome 2 worth it? Thinking about buying one or the two of 'em due to the sale.Also, how's Rise of Samurai and 3K?
Love Yourself, Every Single One of You. Hope Will Win in The End
>>548083312Atilla and Rome 2 are great now. Rise of the Samurai is dogshit, Fall of the Samurai is kino. 3K is also very good, but the battles can get a bit boring.
>>548083553I'm too far gone
>>548083312Atilla and Rome 2 forever suck. Rise of the Samurai is kino, Fall of the Samurai is dogshit. 3K is also very bad, but the battles can be a bit fun.
>>547982447sorry liberal, bowmen of bergerac are here to stay
>>548083728>Atilla/RomeDo I need mods or the base version are fine? Are their dlcs unlockable through CreamApi? I know that they use the same engine as Warhammer 3, so how are the battles there? My biggest complaint about Warhammer is how floaty everything feels compared to Med 2 for example>Fall of SamuraiFill me on it, plix
>>548084242Base is fine, I've never used mods for them. I don't see why the DLC wouldn't be creamapi-able. Fall of the Samurai is the Last Samurai. It's Europe and the US starting to interact with Japan. So you get gattling guns vs samurai.
>>548069402>AI makes shit building decisions>makes 10,000,000 armies and heroes anyway with cheats>confederate them>inherit their half army recruitment center half growth settlements>inherit their 10,000,000 armies and heroes>do not inherit their cheats>-8000 income
>>548083312>>548084242heads up, Attila has performance issues and it varies from rig to rig. For me it runs fine but you might get unlucky. If it's super laggy there might be a issue where you have to edit some file (can't remember it's been years) but it was really easy and you'll find guides by searching the problem. Attila is one of my favorite TW games so I hope this doesn't discourage you.
>>548084242>Fill me on it, plixhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7TCFkdFr6g
>>548083553I do not allow that
>>548084208DIE RANGEDFAG! BRETONNIA IS NOT FOR YOU!
>>548084681The AI builds from a pattern that is purposefully made to make the game playable. There is a AI cheat that optimizes the AI to play optimally and it will rape you ass all the time.
>>548073215Reminds me when Khorne DLC was coming out and anons here were like>PLAY KHORNE NOW BEFORE CA RUINS EVERYTHING ON BEHALF OF MP FAGS!!!!!!!and then it turns out khorne became giga broken instead
>>548083553doomchads are winning tho
>>548085426>The AI builds from a pattern that is purposefully made to make the game playableNothing more playable than the marienburg landship stacks that nuln loves so much
>>548085610Reminder that you have until 4th December to play Norsca the way you are meant to before CA ruins them forever.
>>548085768Sorry the naval start for wulfrik sounds too fun to pass up
>>548085706The faithful are always outnumbered.
>>548085768Before CA makes them fun, you mean?
>>548085768I'm not playing in general until after DLC, Tribes of the North and The Old World are updated. Then I need to happen to be in a mood for Total Warhammer just in time before next dlc is announced so everything is updated, working and not in danger of being destroyed while I'm still not bored of the campaign
>>548069080How is quick match? Sometimes I want to play multiplayer.
>>548085426>It's cheating to make the AI not retardedIt's so weird to see the "mods are cheats" crowd evolve into an actual TCACALLUKBI shill cult
>>548084743I think my rig is quite strong, but I will keep watch over it. Also, why do you like it so much anon? How's the campaign? How do they battle feels? How does it compare it to Med and Shogun?>>548084529Does it use Shogun 2 engine or Atilla's?Also, what your guys opinions on Thrones? Rememeber people saying the launch was dogshit
>>548085768You can just go back to warhammer 2 or even 1.
>>548087269I love the time period and the different feel of the factions. You have 3 established Empires where you try to survive and hold things together. You have the migrating tribes which let's you do a migrations campaign and set up wherever you want, and you have the barbarian kingdoms trying to survive the hunds. And of course you can play as the Huns and do the og Warriors of Chaos burn down the world thing. It's fun.Battles are definitely on the quicker side I'd say. Cavalry is extremely strong. It's more akin to Shogun 2 than Med 2.
>>548077305>buy
>>548085706This dlc is good though? Only slaanesh seems to suck and that might just be like khorne where the faction isn't designed to be fun.
>>548087259unbiased post
>>548080357>>548077912>>548072705>>548084681Wasn't been like that ever since Rome 1? A.I was always shit at the economy game, so they always got money for free and never went bankrupt, that's why taking settlements is more important than defeating their army, since they can't spawn T3 units from a T0/T1 shithole, but they can recruit multiple units from a single T5 capital in one turn
>>548087992it's about the future, december 4th's reveal show
>>548072705The cool thing about wood elves is that you can actually afford the negative income from confederating just go kill something and raze it and pop a lot of money. That said I dont think id enjoy them much in old world map doesnt seem suited to tall
>>548089308It's irrelevant how good AI would be with economy. Even if AI was better than the best player in the world at managing their economy it would trivialize the game in the process because for example if a player with 8 settlements can field 1,5 army - so could AI instead of 3-4 so if player defeats their main stack - it's essentially over for that faction, complete steamroll by the player especially if player targets their main recruiting city first.
I often wonder how many issues in Total War are downstream of removing the ability to just move units individually. Its had a butterfly like effect on a bunch of things - they changed the way the gameplay worked just to avoid having to fix technical issues

>>548091250Just Qin Shi Huang things. He did the whole burning of books and burying of scholars, and then got scammed by daoist monk and drank himself to death with mercury.
>>548091876yeah wurrzag makes them crazy strong
>>548092062>Behind skellies with spears obviously
>>547987328wholesome
>>548066415conquer counterclockwise, starting north to take out the minor Cathay, then turning west to take out Miao, then south to take out Zhao, then south east to take out gelt and lizards. The real decision is whether or not to ally with the dark elves in the east. I kept giving them settlements to keep them as an ally while I conquered west, but if you want to take them out, appease them until you’re done in the south and then attack the delves from the south, who will have blobbed hard by that point. As far as units, regular gutter runners are the best. The slingers are actually less good because they can’t fire while moving like the regular gutter runners can. The other dlc melee units (triads and death runners) are trash. Poison gutter runner stacks should be your end game

Don't look now, but 40k is just behind you.

Slurp slurp
>>548095062They're funny fellows but I people lewding them unironically are weird
>>548090032That's how it SHOULD be. Your main defensive asset should be an army in the field. Your settlements should be a last line of defense for if your armies are defeated. The ideal gameplay flow should be>Gradually develop armies alongside settlements, with the quality of your troops increasing with the enlightenment of your civilization and the size of your army increasing with the wealth of your economy or the sophistication of your logistics.>challenge enemy armies in the field in a big combat turn>remnants of losing side retreat to settlement, reinforced with some fresh recruits and attempt to survive the desperate defensive battleInstead field battles are mostly just whackamole against the AI's perpetually lost and confused stacks and settlement battles are either autoresolving a shit garrison because the AI won't defend their settlement, or fighting an annoying defensive battle because the AI forcemarched around half the planet to bypass your armies and strike a backline minor settlement with a stack of 20 slingers. And both player and AI have the magical ability to pull stacks out of their ass as needed, while settlements are more or less just factories that churn out fighting men.
>>548094749only for grail knights, serf
>>548096258You're describing Civilization. It's a completely different game.
>>548094345
>>548007913>>548015721/wotg/ is now a subsidiary of /twg/all /wotg/ posts should go in this thread
>>548090270Ironically someone modded that back in via a button on your armies. You can detach units and move them around the campaign map or even recruit/add to them without a general.The exact bullshit CA said was impossible.
>>548096258>fighting an annoying defensive battle because the AI forcemarched around half the planet to bypass your armies and strike a backline minor settlement with a stack of 20 slingersThis is also something that's just downstream of them removing the ability to move units individually. You used to be able to just buy individual units to defend places. Now if you want to defend properly you have to have some tiny 'army' who's job is just to sit in a city for the whole campaign
>>548097175Further proof we're getting WW2 and 40k
>>548097783We used to have character trait debuffs to punish this behaviour.
>>548097903>CA basically just making slightly bigger Dawn of War and slightly bigger Company of HeroesDo they just fucking hate Relic or something?
>>548097783Or, get this, you can recruit a cheap army and then disband it later. Shocking, I know.
Drazh kazad waddlers, ww@?
>>548097903>WW2Nah no chance of that. You think the fags at CA could cope with creating accurate and faithful adaptions of the axis, let alone for someone to play them??Not without a 20 min disclaimer you cannot skip upon starting and winning a campaign.>40kWould not mind it, ONLY if it is not just a Total War rework project with 40k models. It needs to be custom built and play nothing like normal Total War.So since CA is so grossly incompetent and actively hate the player base they perceive LIKE Warhammer, I have no faith it will be good, or function.
>>548098138no. those guys need to feed their families, I can't just disband them
>>548098116>slightly bigger Dawn of WarMassively you mean.Also relic is already dead, it's a new studio.
>>548098138>increases your total upkeep costs by 16 trillion gpt because you hired a new general and need exponentially more food to feed other armies because he existsheh
>>548098138Why is your first reaction to jump to defend the poor design choice?
>>548098138Garrisons and reserves are more realistic outside specific periods of time and places where you muster citizen/tribal armies for the 'season of war'. Warhammer has either professional armies or a permanent warrior class for every single faction. Therefore garrisons and reserve units as well as permanent defensive forces should be the norm and a core part of the strategy map.Provinces should have hard points and defensive zones you have to develop and pay for that are a mix of attrition and alert systems as well as actual bastions. Certain provinces should be harder to attack than others via actual defensive positions and garrisons that both the AI and the player can fail to prepare.The best CA gave us got removed almost entirely with corruption attrition that the AI is 95% immune to.
>>548097903>>548098268>SEM legendary lord Hitler
>>548098464Supply lines is the worst mechanic in modern total war>mechanic actively punishes you for trying to have big battlesWhy the fuck did CA think it was a good design choiceIt can only exist with the Lord system too, with free-roam units there's no way to implement such a thing
>>548098856Nothing in the game encourages big battles, just look at how allies work.
>>548097783>recruit new general>multiplies the upkeep of every actual army on the mapThe design of nuTW is explicitly tailored to make sure you don't defend your settlements and just have to fight garrison battles against backdooring AI shitstacks.
>>548099063That's why black arks are a KINO mechanic. They don't contribute to global upkeep because they count as settlements.
>>548098852>mechahitler LL>roosevelt on a mount like astragoth
>>548097903We're getting World War 1 first. It will be a hard reboot of the franchise and simply titled "TOTAL WAR" featuring Indy Neidell as the narrator and an original score by Sabaton.

>>548067946I think actually if any Chaos god would manifest in materium here would be some kind of corruprion of reality around them as big as a planet. So, a HUGE mortis engine at least and a map-wide cataclismic spell
>>548100115Basically this: >>548102751You fly around, doing some damage to higher priority targets and when time is right you attack in melee enemy ranged units. It's the same type of unit as Bats - only higher tier and can shoot some shit on the way.
>>548102876TK?

>>548105308Mice rolled a six
>>548105141
>>548104967I don't mind salamanders but the name itself is cringe. You have all kinds of cool names like Iron Fists or Black Templars, and then you get a chapter named off of a cute and unassuming amphibian. At least their name isn't a pun, like another popular chapter.
>>548101405Mamluks would limit it to what, 1250 or later. More likely is Seljuks or Fatimids. My guess would be your list but without mamluks and with Seljuks + Fatimids on it, swap Bohemia for whichever German state had the emperor at the time. Not sure why Milan rather than Venice or some other italian city state but sure, one of the city states.

>>548105542https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3583378304
>>548105705Because the HRE is literally WH's Empire. It's going to have the same faction mechanics.
>>548105705Nigga they are not going to fucking release the HRE as a single faction of a gigantic Germany. It's not 2006.
>>5481036810 upkeep
>>548105806>>548105853They are not doing the you start with one city bullshit in Med 3 lmfao and you are delusional if you think they want to or will put effort into special snowflake faction mechanics. Like the recent hist games the faction distinctions will be modifiers.
>Averland Burgher (Good)>Politically illiterate but will carry sharp things for pay>Guards a stable and smells like it>Bothers nobody outside his local tavern>May have fucked a sheep but she was into it
>>548105354Other salamander, the fire spirit
>>548106090>Burgher (Good)Many a Bretonnian peasant would object to this.
>>548105545It's pretty close. If the cgs had physical forms:>Nurgle is a straight up oversized guo that one is 100% accurate >Khorne is either a armored dude or a big bloodthirster>Slaanesh takes the form of whatever you find most attractive or just a kos>Tzeentch could literally be anything, he could be a Lord of change, a giant floating chaos spawn, or a hooded figure like the changeling I asked if the modder could give them tamer mortal forms to take on, but making them all just giant greater demons isn't that inaccurate
>>548102751I don't really know how eagle riders work outside of sisters factions but I dive with them every time and I know how to position them to charge into ranged with minimal damage. That said I have most of my time on sisters overall. They do pretty poorly against units with terror unless you have the hero passive that removes that makes them immune. Also don't get them anywhere near skarbrands rage aura in particular they do pretty well at least under sisters buffs which gives them more stats to cycle charge
>>548106087>They are not doing the you start with one city bullshit in Med 3 lmfao and you are delusionalIn Rome 2 the Seleucids held Syria, 1 settlement in Cilicia and Edessa. They didn't even hold Seleucia on the Tigris, every single other province was a vassal. I'm not even going to bother resizing the image for you because of how demented you are to think it's going to be Medieval 2 style >All of france is owned by one faction, all of the HRE is one factionThat's straight up as retarded as suggesting 40kTW won't have space marines on launch.
>>548105026Does she dom the Elgi boy in bed?

>>548106876>he doesn't know the release factions will be Tau, necrons, dark eldar and martiansYou really think they won't make you pay for the ultrasmurfs?
>>548107971You don't understand the amount of work that it is to fill in that tiny speck of land. (I know how to do it and am working on my own procedural landscape tools for artists). Probably just not important on their radar based on whatever reveals on the 4th
>>548107413when you put it that way, it would be kind of hilarious
>>548107413Honestly I'd preorder it just to reward that level of moxie and chutzpah. If you really wanna be madlad impossible it'd be>Eldar>Dark eldar>Slaanesh>TauWith the first imperium DLC being Votann
>>548107413The first battlefleet gothic actually did that. Though to be fair it is a naval combat only game, where marines don't shine as much apart from boarding.
Medieval 3 is going to do the Pharaoh thing with courts and royal traditions. You won't play as "France" you'll play as a fief ruled by some minor french noble and spent the first phase of your campaign gaining legitimacy to ascend the throne and vassalize/conquer/confederate all the other french noble fiefs. Then in the second phase of the campaign you'll babysit your nobles and fiefs with a court politics menu while having great power wars against other unified kingdoms.The final phase of the campaign will just be facing down the Mongol invasion after you've conquered europe.
I wish CA collabed with Paradox to make a Medieval TW and Crusader Kings hybrid.
If it weren't for the black knights, I could have won
>>548108569>Settlement garrison>GhorstWoops healed back to full on everything
TW:40K will bring a lot of newfags to the series that will produce moments like pic rel on a frequent basis.
>>548108569>he tried to challenge the Master NecromancerIt was always a doomed endeavor.
>>548108135Nonsense. They made this entire IE map with their own tools and should have filled in those areas then instead of leaving them blank for years.
>>548108778I'm unsure how they do this bad but minos arent actually that great turn 1 unbuffed really and if the first thing you do on the game is load taurox it does put you right in front of a siege so this is somewhat understandable if they dont know how to protect their units from ranged on it
>>548108778No way that's not trolling
>>548108445That's one of my predictions. It lets them invoke some of the GoT residual appeal, it lets them do their weird donut steel-y writing tendencies of late, this is a period of dynasties being as important/more so than the state itself. I'm just not sure if it's going to be high medieval only (Mongols are the end event), or Medieval 2 style 1070-1500. I'm also not sure of the 1070 starting date in Medieval 2 as people will want Outremer, but they might also want you to be able to MAKE outremer. Like some DLC mechanic where if you buy the Crusaders pack you can go on crusade and your dynasty relinquishes control over your prior territory and instead becomes the King of Jerusalem (Vaguely like Eltharion the Grim).
>>548108941Even if they did that, they would have to compete with the IEE mod.
>>548109140Not a big competition really the textures on it are pretty bland and the terrain is flat most of the time
>>548108569>going full gobbo against the attrition king of the attrition king factionCouldn't have gone any other way.
>>548109140/twg/ doesn't use cheats.
>>548109049I think they'll probably play it fast and loose with dates and not overthink things. There's definitely going to be seasons so there's no way they do 1 turn per year. They'll just cram late-medieval stuff into the end of the tech tree and pretend the date isn't there.Launch will treat the mongol invasion as the endgame crisis, subsequent DLC expansions will extend the timeline, add gunpowder and extend the map so that mongsol become a midgame event and the true endgame is sailing the world doing imperialism with your pike & shot tercios.
>>548109315I play with the console command mod
>>548109475YOU WILL NEVER BE A REAL /TWG/ POSTER
>>548108183>Hey everybody! Big thanks to all of our pre order supporters and thanks to you for giving us all your racially charged feedback. Here at TCACALLUKBI we value communication with our customerbase so we're finally going to give a roadmap 6 months after release*Shows a picture of a squat with an imperial aquila in the background* >Stay tuned for our first imperial release!*Valrak has an autistic consumer meltdown and blows his brains out*
>>548108778I already knew what it was before clicking the pic. I wonder how that retard is doing, I hope he didn't got too disheartened by the way we treated him.
>>548109578I'm not a /twg/ poster I'm a /gsg/ poster. Your kind are but cattle to me
>>548109426I believe medieval 2 did something weird like 2 turns per year but characters only aged on the 2nd year. So it was 2tpy for events but 4tpy for aging. 100 turns meaning only 50 years aged your characters. Most campaigns clock out before 100 turns but attrition will be higher when your lords are not immortal. That seems like an elegant solution for not having our characters be mayflies but also having events happen steadily. Something I could see is the DLC-to-DLC connection they did in warhammer wherein:>Owning the Pike and shot campaign DLC gives you Ottoman units to the Seljuks in the main camapign>Owning the Portugal DLC for the main campaign means Portugal is playable in the pike and shot campaign.But I really expect an East Asia DLC at some point a'la WH2. They saw how much more popular ME/IE was to the smaller campaigns, they saw how big the china market is with 3k and cathay. A big fancy Japan DLC a'la the chorfs is a way to get that Shogun 3 money without having to dedicate an entire game to shogun 3. >>548109921Makes me think>Send not to know for whom the monkey curls its paw, for it curls for thee.For all the banter about some shitty design choices for the historical TW. I'm sure there'll be space marines but it's funny to imagine the inverse.
>>548110469Why is /gsg/ on /vst/ now?
BY THE MAGIC OF TZEEEENTCH
>>548110851YOU DARE QUESTION US MORTAL?!Our ways are not yours you can not hope to comprehend our complex machinations
>>548110954Why do Tzeentch lords get the best voice acting in the game anyway? I mean sure Kairos isn't impressive but Vilitch and Sqwegh are way up there.
>Wurzhag with Accursed armor>maximum physical resist>260 armor>18% ward saveCan just send him to the middle of any blob and just keep dancing, it also slows him down just right so he wont run off ahead of the entire army so easily. I love Accursed armor.
>>548111510N'kari and Skarbrand kinda mog him, true. Helbrass is still my favorite voiced character in the game though
>>548097783Pairofcocks's new hit strategy title Sage of Blunders 4 lets you move units without army generals!Is Megawatt's new hit strategy title Page of Sunders 4 the New Total War Killer?Perhaps we should all give Glareofrocks's new hit strategy title Mage of Plunders 4 a try!
>>548111357I swear there used to be a report for generals outside of /vg/. I guess they relaxed that rule.
Not all men are the same, Arahan.
>>548112267It's board-dependentThe real issue is the mobileshitter board having a rule against generals so it solved fucking nothing at all about the gacha spam here on /vg/
>>548112491There's a mobile game board? Holy shit, there is. There's an MP gaming board as well. I really haven't been paying attention.

>>548105026Alberic, control your squires. This is getting out of hand.
Something I hate about modern TW is how the generals'/heroes' skill trees generally make it optimal to just concentrate all your most expensive and elite units into a single doomstack army with your highest level leader and just winning by sheer stats and gold value rather than using balanced army comps and thinking through your units choices and battle deployment.
>>548112786Nothing is forcing you to build that way moreover reaching passive lines requires you to buff at least two types of units
>>547981116Melekh the Changer soon, yes?
>>548112779>nose piercingOh right Supremefu has those. Remind me again why she never popped off like Dreadfu?
>>548113031No more Tzeentch. Not ever.
Why are we expecting news on december 4th? It will just be the DLC and nothing else.
>>548113095she's a bit of a butterface. It's like with the Helf Archmage and standard Mage, archmage is kinda fat while the standard mage looks like a Stacy.
>>548113376>archmage is kinda fatimagine the smell
>>548113028Supply Lines.
>>548105349The biggest misconception is thinking Khorne can fight. Khaine was the god that fough his own wars. Khorne only watches.
>>548114767He's a cuckold?
>>548114767>skull throne is metaphysical cuck chairShould have guessed from how mad the red cunts are all the time
>>548112786Red skills buff multiple units - you can actually make balanced and varied armies. Unless you only consider "balanced" to be every possible unit in the roster squeezed into one army.
>>548106876The Seleucids were the exception in that game because they would have owned 1/4 the map otherwise. Rome owned all of Italy, Egypt owned all of Egypt and with later DLCs like Imperator Augustus and Empire Divided there were several factions that started out with lots of territory. You had to be disingenuous as possible by only using the Seleucids and they STILL start with six fucking settlements.
>>548114767Explain the part where he kicked Skarbrand's ass
Khorne is a higher being, the concept of physically fighting him doesn't even make sense.
Khorne is a higher being, the concept of cuckoldry doesn't even exist in the Khornate realm and therefore to him it's more like watching gladiators than it is watching his favourite champion get ran through by an Asur spear.
I like both Nurgle and Tzeentch
>>548118449we know GW
Imagine having a fan who's made it his career to play your games and has been shown to be pretty influential and instead of using him as a resource, you view him as a nuisance because he's not a sycophant.
I only like Slaanesh and Tzeentch, I do not care for Nurgle or Khorne
If ca was brave theyd put dicks on daemonettes themselves
I like Malice, and I don't care for any of the Big 4.
>>548119341whos this guy
>>548119623The chaos god of hating chaos. No i'm not joking.
Who's the chaos god of order?
Why are elves weak to chaos
>>548119623Malice or Malal is a Chaos God that represents the self-destructive nature of chaos. GW decides to retcon Malal back then, but they added him back to 40k as Malice in the short story about some renegade space marine worshiping him, and in the end summoned him to realspace.
>>548116057Sassanids were also decentralized. It doesn't change the fact that the HRE's experience is inherently, intrinsically, about being disunited. You have a marginal case to suggest that they might monolithize France - except even there doing so means they lose out on Provencal and the Cathar crusades and the challenges of ile-de-france unifying it. They clearly look to a theme of whether a state was highly united (Roman Empire until the post-start-of-campaign crises in the WRE/ERE case) or highly divided and decentralized. I cannot understate how retarded you are to think that the HRE is going to be one single faction of "Germany". You are straight up fucking Indian Pajeet levels of mentally deficient to think this. There will be at a minimum Bohemia, Bavaria, Swabia, Burgundy, Upper/Lower Lorraine, Saxony, absolutely certainly Northern Italian city states like Genoa and Milan as separate.If you think otherwise it's amazing you can fucking breath for how stupid you are. They divided Egypt into how many fucking factions in Dynasties and they're going to just make the HRE faction? That's it? Nothing else. Nigga please.
>>548120965You can have an early game enemy that you have to fight (likely northern Italy based on the history, and which allows for Genoa, Venice and Milan) while still just having a basic HRE faction which is easily recognizable and well known. Which they will. It will not be Bavaria or Bohemia or Lothrangia or whatever nonsense you're making up in your head because no one gives a single shit about those regions and you have to be delusional to think CA cares enough to develop a complex HRE mechanic so that all those factions are on the map but tied together. Pharaoh took place in a very concentrated part of the world AND sold like shit. Cope.
>>548121685Continue seething malding faggot. You are not getting le ebin Crusader Kings HRE election mechanics and separate factions, you will get a basic ass HRE faction with your son inheriting everything and cope about it.

>trying to tell someone about the DLC and combined map ownership web to someone that wants to try TWWH I finally realize what a nightmare this must be to someone that hasn't been following the games from the start.

>>548128401Yes, I have played 2 full campaigns last 3 weeks for over 200 turns each. One as Elspeth and one as Mazdamundi
>>548128710So far the only mod that has been truly unstable for me was old world. I like the concept but not the crashes but I think it's probably more stable now. They also completely failed at their original purpose of making a smaller map and just made it bigger
>>548128587I do a Gorbad right now. But with a thematic army so it is not so op
>>548128858The Hung mod has shit tier scripting that shits itself even when technically not in use. I have had it corrupt saves 5 turns back because it did not like me (as the Empire) recruited a new general or agent.I also agree with the Old World. Its too much compacted together and is now bigger than even IEE and as a result is not possible to be stable. I have never had a stable game with it, and I would never play any other map if I it wasn't such a shit show. being able to have a 8+ settlement slog civil war and still having never left Reikland is awesome. The Vampire Wars are fun as shit because Stirland doesn't get wiped in 3 settlement losses but is a prolonged war you have to work your arse off to be able to do anything about it - but you do have more than 15 turns to do something.I would much rather the map be hyper zoomed in and we get 'zones' loaded instead when moving between them, like the Badlands being its own highly detailed and deep map. Have Karak Eight Peaks be its own too, fighting down multiple levels to fight over. I want more Ceasar in Gaul and less 'Grand Campaign' that consists of one settlement for ALL of France and two for Spain....
this unit is so disgusting. just look at those stats right out of the gate
So I am playing Skaven some random custom clan from the Skaven SCM mod. The ones that basically reverse enslave dwarfs and get more armour and attack for being at war with dwarf or chorfs.My basic strategy is to recruit an army of clan rats and skaven slaves and bum rush the enemy defences and have them waste their ammo and magic on the trash while the second, 'elite army' washes over them shortly after. The clan is focused around being more like dwarfs as far as attack and armour goes so I am forgoing normal skaven artillery and playing as a melee rush faction.My question is, am I playing an appropriate level of skaven by having a whole army to sacrifice to the enemy? Personally it feels more chorf like.
>>548130131Isnt that exactly what they do though?
>hmm I always shat on the old world mod without trying it, maybe its legit>pick skulltaker randomly>hey playing in the realm of khorne is pretty cool>click end turnOh....Oh.
>>548130218I am asking because I like to play thematically but I have never really played Skaven.
>>548130226Yeah about that.. think the longest I got without a crash is 20 turns
>>548130131I would do that in a vanilla play.Sounds like a fun roleplay campaign.
>>5481302263 min end turn times at turn 20 when I am used to 8 secs or less is just mind numbing, I literally start falling asleep.
