>still no Total Warhammer VN
Let me start the thread saying that all evidence points towards a 40k game, not even taking into account Valrak's claims, and considering he got DOW4 leaked to the T.
For my armored slayer oath!
>>549337385Jerk off before posting.

>>549337371>tomb gay>TOTAL NAGASH END>imagine mods change things>gameplay maybe coming>announce races>weak settlements bad
Thanquol soon, friends!
only tzeentch can truly understand the complexity of anon's motivations
the last good total war game was shogun 2, everything they made in the rome 2 for the following 15 years was a bad and boring game, not being able to move individual troops on the campaign map was a huge nerf to having fun
>>549337634They could easily be adding features to Warscore as they work on 40kWW1 confirmed>clicks Pvt Hitler (German LH)What does he say?
Oh, is this the bait thread? Are we all just gonna spend 800 posts baiting? Then i'm going to bed.
>>549337803shogun 2 does feel like the pinnacle
>>549337803rome 2 engine*

It is time that this expedition's end was expedited.
>>549337917just have fun, we have like 900 threads a year, enjoy yourself
>>549337452Not only are you not getting tw40k, but DoW 4 is going to be underwhelming garbage. Never trust a game afraid to release actual gameplay footage
Who is really left to add after Nagash, Nefera, Thanquol, Valten, Boris Todbringer, Araloth, Egrimm, Red Duke, and Vardek Crom? Is there even anyone else really important enough to include?
Are vampire coast worth getting?
>>549338469I'm very excited for DoW2 remaster, we already know it's coming and it's the only strategy w40k game that actually has competitive PvPit's going to be super fun
>>549338771Greatest DLC of all time. I've been playing nothing but coast for six years.
>>549338469Nothing you say or I say will change the fact that we are getting 40k in the 11th
>>549338750Yin-YinLi DaoMonkey KingDogs of War
>>549338061Crikey... that was a close one.
>>549338771If you're interested in the undead pirate aesthetic or gunpowder + chaff playstyle, then yes. But they were designed with the vortex campaign in mind so they are a little awkward on IE because of how their faction mechanics work.
>>549338771The only human outlaw faction is hidden in them.
Ever since finding out that TW:W being super popular in India I just can't take this place seriously anymore
>>549338771no
>>549339195Empire units are just goblin tier
>>549338771Do you like pirates, Biohorror, and enjoying all the best parts of the game while being immune to the worst? Then yes.
>>549339462>he doesn't know that the empire was modelled after Vijayanagara Empire
Incredible how 40cucks manage to be the most obnoxious group in a general for a series 40k don't exist for

>>549339462Do you honestly think Indians have computers that can run a TW game?
>>549339748Doesn't exist for yet
>>549339652nah goblins are better
Do the new dlc lords actually have an interesting starts? Norsca and Elff starts looks way too easy for a strong dlc lord, so that leaves slaneesh or am I wrong.
>>549339875Can't tell if Welsh or schizo.
>>549340021Phonetic ScottishSo schizophrenic
>>549339884It's not the 00s anymore, India is an actual economic powerhouse with the fastest growing gnp in the world
>>549339875Looks off topic to me whatever it is
>>549340198This. Many of us here are indians , especially skaven players.
>>549339652goblins become chosen tier with grom
valten is the best option left for a paid legendary lord for empire....what if they do a halfling legendary lord in the emprie dlc afterwards with a halfling legendary hero?
>>549340198lol
>>549340296For me, it's VC and Dawi
>>549340198good morning sir

>>549340254Gimme Jill sandwich.
are you guys ready for crom the conqueror soon?
>>549340741Why did Khazrak paint his nails? Is he gay?
>>549341054Nobody cares.
>>549341113agreed. why care about more chaos when we can have more dwarves and high elves sister!
>>549341217Dwarfs have enough missing content for 2.5 dlcs. High Elves are feature complete.
>>549341217This but unironically.
OH MY GOD ITS SLAMBO GUTRIPPER FIRST EVERCHOSEN I NEED TO BUY ALL THE WARHAMNER DLCS

>>549341113>Nobody cares.Correct. I am sick of warriors of chaos. I need more more Greenskins and Grand Cathay.

>>549341356for me it's slamass gutripper, breaker of bulls
>>549341456I think he was going for lords. Almost every character you listed is a hero with a few lords.
>>549341442Cathay has the most potential for DLC content but it seems it wont be getting any of that
>>549341054that is some nice art of him with mr. huss...ii will enjoy fighting him with valten
>>549341113based. we do not need to finish the warriors of chaos. we need kislev and high elves stuff. less chaos and more order.
>>549338750Count Mordrek would be nice
>>549339875Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted TWcenter for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lowly jeets were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it autistic gaellic gibberish, it expressed a tone little seen in this day and age.
>CA IS CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO ADD ALL THE DRAGON SIBLINGS>look at DLC>only one of 3 were added post-launchIt seems that wasn't true
>>549341971You know they can easily add the other two and monkey king in one dlc right?
>>549342031A Mythic One would say they'd rotate away from releasing such a DLC
>>549341971They should be contractually obligated to remove Cathay and their Skaven brothers to instantly improve the game.
reminder we are getting an unspecified amount of dlc after lords of the end times, implied to be several
Do you think CA will experiment more with Daniel style characters going forward?
>>549342141This but lizards and vampire counts instead
>>549338750Helgar Longplaits
Yes, let's cram even more LLs in the overfilled map making early game a slog
>>549339943Elf has the most intersting start of all elves, and a challenging campaign since ulthuan gets fucking raped by 3 different races atm.
>>549342170Yes, they added Aislinn didn't they? He is basically a fan creation with no official art and only exists in a few paragraphs of lore.
>>549341573Only a couple of them would likely be heroes actually. Only Ludwig, Abhorash, Chak'ax, and Apophas would almost certainly be heroes. The two Dwarfs could go either way admittedly. That still leaves 8-10 lords.
>>549342239You can always kill yourself to avoid the early game
>>549342274I meant having a heavily customizable YourDude in a game that otherwise has fixed characters.
>>549342537>SAAR WE NEED MORE DLC TO BUY KILL URSELF IF YOU DONT WANT TO CONSUME SLOP LIKE US SAARAbsolute state of zoomers
>>549342239No joke. First 100 turns are so tiring. CA should let us skip straight to the good stuff.
>>549342170I want them to overhaul generic characters instead so that ALL of the generic lords and heroes can be at least somewhat customizable. Obviously not to the extent of Daniel, but we should absolutely be able to choose the weapons and look of our generic lords and heroes. There's so many weapon options missing from heroes that don't at all need to be their own distinct type like the Asur Prince/Princess. They're the same thing, one has a bow and is a girl. You should be able to have an Empire Captain with a greatsword instead of sword and board if you want.
Now that the dust has settled. Was he /our/guy or a hack?
>>549342670Saar you are talking about a videogame based on toys for 40 years old childless faggots, not the Iliad, now get a chair and a rope and make yourself a favor
>>549342856I think you should finally off yourself.
>>549342170No, since Daniel is a complete disaster
>>549342856Do NOT post that bigot here. This is Sotek's general.
>>549343146Chadtek...
>>549342856Have you ever heard the Pivot of Darth Legend of Total War?I thought not, its not a pivot the general would tell you.Darth Legend was E-celeb of Total War, so powerful in the shilling he could use his words to pivot people into false hope. He had such a presence he even claimed to make Total War pivot around his words. The egotistical side of fame is a pathway to many delusions some consider to be mental illness. He became so full of himseslf... the only thing he was afraid of was being the one to pivot, which eventually, of course, he did. He went about how he built the Creative Assembly community before throwing a tantrum and pivoting to Paradox. Ironic. He could pivot himself, but not others.
>>549342856He is the Anti-/twg/, despised by all followers of Histianity, Fantaslam and 40katheism.
who does everyone think is the most likely flc LL for the Nagash dlc?https://strawpoll.com/XOgOVor6Qn3
>>549343953sotek literally said no cathay is part of the dlc so why bother include the option?
>>549343953I say Egrimm.Giving him the slot means Daemonmanii (Blue) players will finally leave CA alone. I doubt it will be Todbringer just because CA will want to charge $15 for reskinned Empire Knights Middenland Edition.
>>549342856>you will never get to post 'Legend said' and be able to pass it off as unironic ever againRIP King
>>549343146I wish I was here during the reveal show when he appeared on screen, I bet this place went ballistic
>>549343146Somebody PLEASE shave this man in his sleep. That neckbeard is painful to look at.
>>549344142They already sold Boris Todbringer's model to us in the Beastman dlc. It is illegal for them to resell him to us in about seven countries.
legend said total war is bad
>>549343953If not nefertitty then >>549344142 being more Tzeentch (mortal) oriented.
>>549343146What do all of these people have in common?
>>549343953Mazdamundi's twin brother, Shastamundi.
>>549339943Dechala gets to not fight elves exclusively for 50 turns and doesnt have a war on all fronts like nkari. Masque and Dechala have a sea lane to connect them very close so either campaign you can play in both lustria and cathay. Lustria is easily the most contested region and it's a lot rougher on factions that don't have underway like slaanesh. It's more a pick the original, or pick between tempo and chorf economy. No opinions on the rest yet have not had time to try norsca and aislin I just have the first 5 turns save
RepostingAny of you try any of those campaign AI overhauls on the workshop? Wondering if any of those are great, I'd be really excited if they are
>>549344232It was pretty funny.
How would you fight against 19 of these guys?
>>549344634
>>549343953i would assume the flc is someone that is end times related so out of those options i picked crom. we already know neferata is getting her own dlc since ca has said that twice. once when it was announced and then another forum post less than a month ago.
>>549344634I'll shoot them with my gyrocopter spam.
>>549344142Unfortunately Tzeentch daemonmanii don't work because pink horrors are ranged only and blue horrors are pieces of shit. Maybe if we had exalted blue horrors.If you want Daemonmanii spam you have to go Green/Red/Pink or Belakor and mix and match.
>>549342856He'd be based if he didn't decide to salt the earth when he wanted to quit
>>549344108I was surprised that Sotek was allowed to reveal so much about the DLCs. I hope he doesn't get in trouble with CA.
>>549344634I don't think this beats 19 waywatchers even if theyre faster
>>549343953Hear me out I think Skreech is in the DLC as the Skaven LL and Thanquol is actually the FLC.
Tzarina, Boris, or Ra-ra-Rasputin. I'm running the main kislev mod and guns of erenvad or whatever it's called.
>>549344958Cheats are off topic in this general.>>>/vst/>>>/trash/
>>549344634With archers and SEMs
>>549345023Your offtopic your mom's nuts, get back to sucking on her dick.
theres no way they just keep those two south east sections flat right?
>>549345110We speak English here.>>>/int/
>>549344958Tzarina
>>549344886I mean all he said was.>4 paid lords plus 1 FLC LL>All 4 paid lords are directly connected to the end times rules wise, model wise, and narratively>All 4 lords are from different races and Nagash is the only undead one.>Grand Cathay has nothing to do with the DLC and wouldn't make any sense.He kept screaming about his NDA when talking about it while saying it was very hard for him to not reveal more but he go on a rant about Middenheim and basically name dropped Valten.
A reminder that charge bonus lasts for 10 seconds after smashing into an enemy unit.The bonus itself is added on to both your melee attack and weapon strength.
>>549345174>We speak English here.>>549339875>>549340646Sure ya do laddy.>>549345207Thanks bud.
>>549342170cause look how good that turned out
>>549345340Btw here mods=cheatsis a old meme
>>549345023Holy based
>>549345151I think they are going to open up the northeast first and add Crom there since that is his stomping grounds. They will eventually up Ind when they add Li Dao.
Belakor should get removed from WoC and moved to DoC.
>>549345214Odd to have Valten and Middies in now, I was expecting that more for when Archaon gets his final goodies. Maybe there's still juice to squeeze from the empire there, or as simply as just Karl. Then again there's also still Marienburg so maybe Marienburg + Karl Ascendant thrown in for shits and giggles.My assumption is, albeit not to the same level of nagash, future packs will have some theming of calamities brought along since they want to do more than just Nagash. Meaning Morrslieb being blown up (Skaven pack - but then that'd mean they don't come with Nagash?), Vortex/Ulthuan goes poof (Malekith Eternity King), and Archaon's actual end times to wrap it all up.>>549345458Yeh I remember that, I just gave his shitposting shitposting in return for good fun.
Belegar should get removed from Dwarfs and moved to Chaos Dwarfs.
>60k gold on turn 4 of Aislinyea, this is going to be a fun campaign.
At some point TCAULK will have to move the vampires of sands to Nagash and stop pretending these are different things
The Bulgarians:>Promised to make Sieges fun>Failed>Broke Kangz and Liggers AI>Needed multiple patches to fix, and the entire TW community ganging up on them>Promised to fix pic related>FailedIs there any saving it?
>>549346116Maybe you were expecting too much for a little, tiny, dwarfish, small and short year?
what the fuck does the vermintide endgame crisis even do? It happened and respawned sniktch with like 2 armies, Is that seriously it?
I've decided painting the map in elves that arent my faction will be fun I'll do aislin to long vic over the other elves kinda shame I already did an eltharion and imrik campaign and aleaf is gay without a climate adapt mod
>>549346116small skeleton team, please understand.
>>549346648
Might have been long enough by now if you confed aislin with one of the other elves do you still have dragonship shipbuilding on him and the stance?
>>549310882No anon. I do this because I hate >doomstackers>statniggers>MPfags>balancechudsI am what Volund warned you about: a "Warhammer baby" Who recruits all his units with a random number generator on virtue of seeing cool models on the field.Pic relted is my newest army unfortunately chaos armies are the worst ones to do this with because 1. They can't give everything to you on a single province, and 2. 90% of all thier units is either infantry or cav, which gets boring quick.
>>549346648there will be more of them later
>>549346897NOOOOOOO!!! THIS ARMY COMPOSITION ISN'T OPTIMAL. Watch this video to actually understand how to play Slannesh: https://youtu.be/bbIfKeD8CCU?si=-mh0WL03ZcTQHWKx
>>549342204That's literally my gf (but not that ugly)
>>549346897>Using an army consisting of a bunch of cool shitdoomstackniggers and campaign powergamers can choke on shit
I started up a Throgg campaign to finally experience his good voice lines now. He seems really directionless as a campaign. There's your first enemy, which can then give you a full province for basically free, but after that it's sort of "where the fuck do I go now?". I really don't want to fight all of Norsca before going south, but getting out to go raiding seems like a pain.
>>549346897My mainly played faction is wood elves and 95% of the time it's better to keep confed armies even into the negatives and just fill it with stuff you like. The other 5% is waywatchers+2 curse bound spell cav+heroes+eagle riders on sisters. I don't get doomstacking why would it work bettet
>>549347213>where the fuck do I go nowKill Malakai dumbass
>>549346116mods fix this
>>549347305NAME ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND DOESN'T MAKE THE GAME CRASH EVERY HOUR AND DOESN'T CHANGE A MILLION OTHER THINGS.
>>549347426
>>549346897The only reason I dislike too heterodox a stack is because it makes organizing them every battle an ass. Otherwise you're based as fuck keep it up nigga. I fucking hated seeing my chorf hobgobbo army when it was 80% just two units, felt so boringly soulless.
>>549347426https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3594429287
I recruit 19 of the same unit.
I dont unless its an early game shitstack
lol
>>549346897People do shit like this, then complain when their Bretonnian army, filled with 50% peasants, can't hold up against Chosen.
>>549348096I believe that this just about passes the "staunch" threshold.
>>549348103CA's fault, btw.

>>549348446Sotek is a huge fan
>>549348606And so he should be. Everyone should be.
>>549348502That's the plan. With 2m subs, he will be able to pay off his mortgage.
>>549348538Its great already.
>>549339943I find Dechala's building mechanics quite annoying/half-baked and the fact she's all about buffing marauders to be underwhelming. I thought she'd be all about juicing up the new devoted druchii, but both her unique skill like and lord effects barely touch any of the new units.
>>549347861This but with peasant mob.
>>549348538Bulgarians will finally make Greatswords beat Chosen because powercreep is the only way they know how to sell DLC.

>>549348103Nobody tell him that traditional WFB Brettonian armies were like 70% peasants.
I call this campaign "Saving Prince Imrik"
>>549349313But this is total war, though.
Is there a way to have a staunch line of spears as empire?I've noticed all my best units require time and the enemy staying still to perform well but the infantry kinda sucks for holding the line (matter of fact it really sucks for that) I don't want to rely on net of amyntok on every single army it gets boring.
>>549349040Why
>>549349313Yeah and their cavalry were actual demigods with millions of saves
attempting another Louen Leoncoeur campaign on legendary and VH.
>>549349618halberdiers with all the tech and captains+warrior priests nearbythat should make them hold good enough
>>549349583I don't think you have to with the new confederation mechanic if you just wanted to get him into your faction
>>549347270I did that too
>>549347597>The only reason I dislike too heterodox a stack is because it makes organizing them every battle an ass.Group em based on combat roles. A deamonette and a slaaneshi chosen are used for more or less the same thing: infantry. Faster ground units are basically cav that take out ranged stuff. Etc etc.If you do it with some AI controlled reinforcements that will help too. Big battles=cool battles.
>>549349656I don't know. He probably just pivoted.
>>549337385a reminder that female tzeentch daemons are canon
>>549349596Ok maybe there are ways to get the peasants to be able to beat the chosen?Like what if I used a trebuchet or archer fire to soften them up before engagement and then surround the chosen to wear them out?this is called: strategy

I like how I feel like I'm playing a minor lord with Dechala they're supposed to be using shitstacks of marauder and lowest tier cav and Dechala is much weaker herself than N'kari. Kudos for not making a pure powercreep dlc again
i wish i knew where these sea lanes were headed. I'm guessing around ulthuan but i don't actually know what those seas are called. i guess i could load up another save and look.also i hate that I have to hold 5 cathay settlements to get short campaign, i need 10 more settlements captured and gelt/snikch are probably going to declare war and take my settlements, so I'll probably have to go back to cathay which is lame
>>549356492Dechala is literally one of the strongest LLs in the game though
Damn, Kurgans got hands
>>549356535Just double click them>>549356550Not stronger than N'kari
>>549355321That's the same with most monogod factions too besides khorne iirc. Daniel needs to get a pass on his wargear and dedication mechanic badly though, having no tech fucking sucks when the dedication mechanic doesn't fill the gap at ALL.
>>549356282Well they pulled the trigger on end times so anything is possible
Trying out Teclis campaignI may have made a mistake returning to the donut instead of just staying south.
>>549356535Oh you can't actually see them at all? One goes to ulthuan another to teclis another to luthor harkon
I really like Dread Maws, feels like I'm playing a tower defense game with them.
>>549356535>>549356596oh i should learn how to read lol>>549356728you can double click and it shows like the other anon said i'm dumb
whats our opinion on tabletop caps?
pdhefuu bros...
>>549356948stupid and the people who pushed for them got btfo'd so LOL
aislinn is turning into one of my longest campaignsvery satisfying to clean up the map and install a superior race there
>>549357539based colonialism enjoyer. Aislinn is the most fun LL of the DLC, I have to say
Kick it's ass Stinkin' Timmy
>>549357539Yeah I will have fun making elven colonies in different continents and seeing the map in a way that you simply can't see it as otherwise but norsca and slaanesh first
where should I go next /twg/? I need 10 more settlements for the short victory condition, long victory condition is to take ulthuan. The 3 sea lanes shown in this picture take you to lustria's eastern coast and Noctilus. Cathay is stabilized somewhat but it's a shitshow, hopefully i can hold the 5 settlements there until I reach 30 settlements. I'm thinking I should take the sea lane that is closest to ulthuan and heading straight there, but it might be fun to take the lustrian portals and sack up the coast on my way to ulthuan, but I get in a lot more wars that way :) I'm going to eat while I wait for responses (pls respond)
With Nagash, will I only be able to recruit the boring Mortarchs he had in the tabletop game or make my own? Kinda want to make Ghorst my henchman
Damn he beat it's ass pretty good.
>>549358030take the grave
Also are the new dlc packs worth it to get, or are they shit?
>>549358353Slaanesh pack is worth it for replenish hero alone to meAislinn is a unique horde that can paint the map in other elven factions, you will have very little to worry about yourself other than the few cities you can actually ownI have not played Norsca yetLokhir and Coast just got buffed for free too
This is what the ideal pirate build looks like. Just needs a giant, maybe some ghosts.
>coast buffedAre coves useful now???
>>549358664No but you can attack ports directly from sea which makes the entirety of coast less retarded
>>549358041They flat out said he gets the 9 from the books which means no Ghorst. That is like asking if Valten can recruit Bretonnians.
Which campaign to play between Draz, Lokhir, Aislin or Throgg?Just got to turn 40 on Dechala. Bit of a snoozer. How's Masque compare to her?
>>549358973Masque is better imo so much shit to unlock, better starting position, you can also just take the sea lane right there to confed dechala
>>549354676Korhil is a LH and he makes absolutely zero sense as LL. He is just the body guard of Fiubar.
>>549356282I don't see why not, CA are basically married to GW IP's at this point.
Where the fuck would Valten even start? The guy spent his entire life in between Middenheim and Reikland and never left that area. It is not like he can start in Altdorf or Middenheim because of Karl and Boris. I don't get it.
>>549359316remember mother ostinky? they don’t care about lore they’ll put him where he fits
Am I the only one that hates how the ettin is just a better giant?
>>549359316Somewhere in the Northern Empire or KislevMaybe even Norsca
Playing as Throgg, how do I make other thematic armies? I get Throgg gets the monster mash, Wulfrik gets the champions and mammoths, but what do generic lords buff?
>>549359316The trash bin, where he belongs.
>>549358136thank you for responding I guess I’ll head straight for ulthuan then, time to bully the elves some more. literally just auto resolved my way through the sea patrol, replenishment is so good with stacked black arks that you might as well
>>549359316Probably Pigbarter. Honestly shocked a lord isn't there yet. Valten going there says he is there to save the humans there.
>>549360534Neither lord option is thematic for Throgg
what are some factions that you'd personally recommend to a new player (me)?>No Cathay>No Elves
They fucked the AI again. Actively avoids your army and retreats when attacked. God fucking dammit CA, gonna make me have to use cheats.
>>549361060Dechala feels like a good new player campaign Kislev was tailor made for beginnersWood elves if you have the dlcsEmpire is actually quite bad for beginners despite what the game says
>>549361060when you say no elves, do you mean all elves or just High Elves?Cause Wood Elves are pretty simple, you build tall instead of wide and focus mainly on your trees instead of painting the map.
>>549361215they’ve always done that when they’re significantly weaker than you
>>549361442Wood elves are carnage if you know what you're doing. More armies faster than anyone else, in every region, more wars than anyone else. Confed missions. Income -15k? Don't care I razed for 25k ding
>>549361060Dwarves nigga. It'll teach you some formation fundamentals too. You have sturdy little people hold the lines and shooty boys/artillery in the back.Start with the checkerboard formation (look up guides for hotkey tips). Eventually you can try out crazier ones like chevron.
>>549361060Daniel the Demon Prince, Markus Wulfhart, Khalida. If you can't beat the hard mode campaigns, you don't deserve the easy roflstomp ones like Tamurkhan.
>>549361060golgfag is a pretty simple campaign with a powerful army. you just go around completing contracts, don’t even have to build an empire if you don’t want to. or dwarfs, battles are just box formations on triple speed. the chaos factions are actually pretty involved and require an experienced player to get the most out of them. the 4 major greater demons are easily some of the strongest lords in the game, but they all require an experienced player who knows their way around the game. people don’t realize how complicated and overwhelming this game can be for beginners since we’ve been playing for a long time
>>549361334>>549361442>Empire is actually quite bad for beginners despite what the game saysYeah, I heard about this. Sad. The same goes for Bretonnia. I like the knight units, but I do love about everything except Elves and Cathay are meh except for one or two units.Wood Elves are pretty fine. Dark Elves are fine too since Malekith and Lokhir look cool as fuck. Dechala is a qt.I "own" all DLC's with the free TWW3.>>549361569Oh yeah, dwarves are pure sex. I might pick em up.>>549361775kek I was just gonna say, isn't Daniel pretty difficult? Then I read the rest.I mean, that's fair, but my dumbass doesn't even know how to fight properly with all the units.>>549361832Yeah, I actually wanted to play a Chaos faction but I better get simple and play something basic to learn the shits.
>>549361832I really don't see why Skarbrand would difficult for anyone of any skill level.
>>549361215What faction are you playing? What does your army look like? Which difficulty?
Bro every fight against Archaon is a struggle to the death, even on turn 15
>>549362054Im thinking more about the campaign map and you’re just thinking about the battles. the playstyle of spamming bloodhosts, manually resolving every fight so you don’t take casualties, and running on a deficit while you sack cities is not something that a new player would just intuitively understand. spamming bloodhosts is more of an exploit that we’ve just normalized, and a new player isn’t going to be great at microing an offensive faction. A new player should start with a defensive faction where they can kind of just set up and watch, reacting and learning. chaos factions are mostly about aggression and rushing, it’s a lot more micro.
>>549362129Elspeth Very Hard/HardI'm running all gunpowder with Bruckner in the army to deal with Vlad. He ran from me the whole time, never engaging. Once I finished him off, tried Dechala. She had some treemen and a bunch of gold chevroned units. Still ran.
>>549362434Spamming bloodhosts isn't an exploit, it's the intended way to play him.
>>549362467Empire has crazy autoresolve value.Maybe try increasing difficulties and see if they still run.
>>549362467*Drycha I meant.
Can Dechala vassals break vassalage?
>>549362582debatable, they kind of updated the game after the fact to normalize it, but originally the upkeep was supposed to limit the number of bloodhosts you could field and relying on sacking income to compensate for a 10k deficit or whatever is what I would consider advanced play, not something a beginner would ever do
Are Corsair handbows just better than the melee corsairs?
>>549362789I always keep some of the melee corsairs because they have the anti infantry bonus, but yeah the crossbow version has virtually the same stats with a crossbow. The anti infantry corsairs do perform very well in my experience
How's Throgg now?
alarielle is dead and her capital is occupied by slaanesh right now and i already have an outpost in lothernwhat do
>>549362925He has answered the age old philosophical question, is it possible to have too many trolls? The answer is yes.
>>549358514>Lokhir and Coast just got buffed for free too????
>>549363293Read lokhir faction effects
>>549363118just take back gleam vale and resurect her no
>>549363118>the news is as grave as you feared
>>549362925Plays like ogres except worse imo.Trolls dont have the charge or mass to really feel like you're hitting them with a mac truck.
What are the best spells to get on a druchii anointed? Dark for all 3?
Which units are you going to have in your helf/delf/welf hybrid stacks after the rightful King of Ulthuan takes his rightful place as the ruler of all elven kind?
>>549364389Sisters sisters and sisters
>>549364356Slaanesh/Slaanesh/Dark imo. Dark/Slaanesh/Dark is also similar.
>>549364389They all look the same once the organ gun is done with them.
>>549357539I cleaned up Lustria so that its livable for God's Chosen People
Gee who gave this minor faction 2 shitstacks before I can afford 2 of my own. Surely yung sun wins this
>>549364389Phoenix Guard/Executioner frontline. Sisters of Averlorn and Shades for ranged, and any mix of all their OP monsters. I feel like the Eternity King's Host would be the most broken roster in the game.
How should I be building provinces as Lokhir? Just the usual growth/economy/control/slave? Save the military buildings for the Arks, right?
>>549364603climate penalty though. Tyrion can't be in tropical.
>>549364938Do the AI even get affected by that?
>>549364938Aislin doesnt care>Fights and gives hard won settlement to tyrion
Do I want to deny the gods as Throgg or does he synergize well with one of the 4?
>>549364972I'm not sure.
>>549364781pretty much. You need the settlement military buildings for extra heroes but you can get by with just one of each hero for a while if you get a second sorceress lord to do the job of your second caster. Also I want to mention, I’m doing a Lokhir campaign and you might want to give a settlement to the rats and try to ally with them. By the time I conquered the southeast of Cathay, the rats invaded from the north with dozen stacks. If you get stuck in Cathay, you’ll be attacked from everywhere at once. You have to hold 5 coastal Cathayan settlements, I recommend getting the bare minimum, sacking your way through the rivers, selling some territory to make alliances, and then leave through the sea lanes to kill the sea patrol to get the short victory and then ulthuan to get long. Conquering Cathay is a chore because your black arks can’t reach the north, a diplomatic strategy is better while you stay near the ocean I think.
>>549365231Sniktch and Dechala seem like ideal alliance partners. You're fighting the same people, so they'll probably naturally like you anyway. Dechala can take Gelt/ Zhao and Sniktch can take Miao/Zhao
So is the End Times DLC confirmed as the last?
ok, Aislinn is very fun to play in the campaign.
>>549365689It will be the last dlc that we get before 40k releases
>>549365482That was my plan, until gelt easily wiped dechala and invaded from the south. Rats are also notorious back stabbers and will repeatedly break the alliances you try to make, requiring even more land to satisfy them. Also their corruption is a real issue for your settlements, which will be perpetually 1-3 turns from rebellion and just barely holding with a black ark/multiple control buildings. A viable strategy is honestly letting them rebel, you can usually autoresolve the defense with the garrison. Dealing with all that is still better than conquering Cathay imo.
>>549364675why is cathay reinforcing you
>>549350819NURGLE CHADS KEEP ON WINNING
>>549365778I guess the Warhammer China part of the world got abandoned then. Good, everything about its inclusion screwed up the game and it never really belonged.
>>549365821I'll try him again when the VCO mod updates for him. I hate base game victory conditions.
What's supposed to be the warhammer in total war warhammer and is it important?
>>54934463419 units of skavenslaves18 units of clanratsone (1) poison wind mortar
Aislinn makes me want to play Rome Total War.
>just deflect the cannonball with your sword bro
>>549329764>>549330446
>>549366234warhammer is a state of mind
>>549365835I made them vassals for thralls and they decided to come and be useful which is pretty rare. How I got such a small garrison is by taking the city there with a port, and dip out by sea because if not it's vampiric corruption or getting heal denied staying inside neither of which were acceptable optionsThey lost pretty decisively but killed all the bats and crypt horrors so that's cool
>>549366312Is that good or bad
>>549366642Good. I like the Aislinn campaign.
are vassals still useless as slaanesh
>>549365689Its NOT End Times DLC its Lords of The End Times this is not the End Times that'll probably come later
>Done every race on legendary>Except Norsca and Slaanesh due to this release>Also cause boring and dont like them>BIG DLC comes out>Still no motivation to play themI am 80 turns into a Teclis campaign right now, and it irks me because I have an autistic need to get the achievements of the 2 missing races....
>>549366705Sell me on it if you have the time anon. Is there any real challenge?
>>549366234It's Gal Maraz, Karl Franz's weapon that was passed down from Sigmar.
>>549366921Throgg and Masque.Get the Campaign map weather overhaul mod or whatever. Makes Throgg comfy as fuck.
>>549367104I will personally hold you responsible if I drop the campaigns due to boredom.Evens MasqueOdds TROLLAALAAA
>>549366847Get the mod that installs a cult when you vassalize. Makes them spread your corruption and your cult buildings can help them with growth and income.
>>549367005I didn't really play it thoroughly, I just started one up and saw all of the cool options.I like the RP which the mechanics facilitate. Colonizing lands for the High Elves.You start in a cozy spot and from first glance it seems you can just pick where to start colonizing. And Aislinn has all climates as habitable.
what's the appeal of the lizardmen
>>549367364Time to break out your tap shoes anon, you're going dirty dancing.
>>549367506Dinos and frog magic
>>549367506defending Lustria from invaders RP.
>>549367512Already booting the campaign up.Also where do I go? North? South? the Donut after the retard slaanesh fag there inevitably dies on turn 10?
>>549367506good but meleedoom slayer
>>549367629they're not doing a good job of it are they
>>549367506Dinosaurs
>>549367630Consolidate starting area first. You can partake in the bowl or you can hop in the sea lane to cathay and confed dechala if you want. You do want to head to the donut eventually. Maybe confederate niggakari if he's still alive or help him out. The most important part... have fun and play around with the new units.
>>549367506Unironically they play like Rome more than anyone else, with a weird Legionary Cohort system alongside auxilliary dinos. Chorfs (Republic with the dwarf units being Triarii elite) and Skaven are prob the next closest allegory in structure but Stormvermin are NOT line holders.
>>549368257With Tretch or Throt they are.
>>549348730>Bulgarians will finally make Greatswords beat Chosen Must be from the school of Radious and SFO
I miss launch salamanders
>>549367670In lore almost all of the non lizardmen, with very specific exceptions, are hard stuck to the coast. The ones that venture too far off the beaches, even those that do not, are quickly (for a Slann) pushed into the sea or killed. Its just in everyone elses' view of time that nothing happens for decades or centuries.Lustria is supposed to be fucking enormous but the game map, due to resource allocation doesn't allow for 150+ provinces in one 'continent'. All in all they are very good at keeping Lustria free of warmbloods - Skaven being such a problem is supposed to represent how fucking hard it is to get rid of the rats in comparison - not the norm.
>>549367506None. Play Thorek and get a carnosaur with a superior faction. Best of both worlds.
>>549368391>TretchPlayed him when he came out and was super barebones and shit, so no idea>ThrotI always go monster mash so that might be my fault.
Well played 15 turns as dechala to see the fuck decadence does, got to wait for another 300 decadence to get stalk stance. Kinda meh mechanic seeing as all you can do to generate more of it is wait besides making sure you have thralls to make palaces. I think masque might be more interesting but I do wanna confed dechala asap not sure how to pull it off
>>549367506>Dinosaurs and Lizards that simply look cool>Aztec aesthetic>Good beasts>Solid ranged>Great melee>Can play as a Horde, teleport everywhere or start a race war
>>549368897Shouldn't be too hard, Masque has easy access to the Cathayan sea lane.
>>549342141this but elves, empire and kislev
You play on legendary, right?You don't get to turn 150 having never lost a battle or a settlement because you reloaded the game, right?
uh oh...rolled masque, first turn fighting dark elf shits...daemonettes engage at Mach fucking speed then chariots - from behind the daemonettes - plow right through and then instead of stopping actually roll back and forth trampling the shit out of them...I think I am having fun as a Slaanesh player...
>>549369204no, I play vh/vh ironman
>>549369204I do play on LegendaryI do play past turn 150I do not now, nor have I ever save scummedI only really lose battles in the beginningHowever I play thematic campaigns and run less optimised forces to fit their faction and general etc and have narratives in my head involving politics, rivalries and intrigue.You don't have to meta game if you are not an MPfag or a zoomer.
>>549368964I mean yeah theres a sea lane but factions can be a bitch to get them to want to confed
>>549369204I play on easy and the second I face the slightest inconvenience I start a new campaign
valten for surevalten guarantedvalten is obviousvalten is the only choicevalten is fits the paladin archetypevalten brings something differentvalten is the only one with narriave potentialvalten is the only one that worksvalten was big in end timesvalten has end times rulesvalten was in middenland as its guardianvalten is uniqueWhy always Valten? Aren't there any other possible alternatives for the End Times order legendary lord? I know they cannot resell Boris Todbringer for legal reasons....just is there anyone else with 8th/ET rules?
>>549369290Masque is the only faction where killing every single enemy combatant is done in 5 minutes. Your units are so fast chasing them down is no problem. She might have the best starting army in the game.
>>549369586>.just is there anyone else with 8th/ET rules?For order? Araloth. Maybe someone from Cathay with their retcons. Literally no one else besides Valten if they are going ET rules and narrative.
>>549369783giving her heartseekers and exalted daemonettes was crazy
>none of the daemonette slut mods work...blue balled as fuck
Remember, it's not corner camping if you leave room for flanking.

>>549370323Hola Sotek
the party has finally arrived. unfortunately i have to wake up early so the conquest of ulthuan will have to wait until tomorrow :)gn /twg/
>Ulthuan has fallen>rebuilt all the high elves in Cathay by giving em endless settlements>the retards still send armies through all the AI factions causing endless war>Teclis is currently guiding 3 20 stacks of Tzeentch to my elven starter islands with his 1 half dead lordI just wanted to play cool support faction. Why must I support these absolute clowns.
>>549370412soulless army
>>549370260how do you even get in situations where you have to corner camp?
let it be known, that without these cheats you are cheating and you didn't beat the videogamehttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3386790677&searchtext=trade+settlementhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3470416432&searchtext=trade+settlement
>>549370467OH FATUOUS ELVES
Did they give up on that campaign AI beta stuff
>>549370646lokhir buffs corsairs a lot and the army is fun to use. They can be instantly recruited at max veterancy with ridiculous stats (like 66/42 MA/MD) Yeah, I'm playing efficiently and fielding lots of cheap units, you have to actually play smart on legendary. what's the alternative, shard stacks? shades? having cold ones or monsters in the army? much more expensive, not much more effective. I'll add some monsters later, start making some shade stacks, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with running corsair stacks as lokhir. gn asshole
>pancreas makes a video about every AoS factionTotal War: Age of Sigmar confirmed
So the base is everyone knows the following are happening.>Nagash>Valten>ThanquolWho is the 4th lord for chaos and the FLC? Glotklin? Nurgle has 2 units left and I really doubt they would have 4 nurgle lords before Tzeentch even gets 3. So I don't think Glotkin is likely because I would look really terrible if there was 4 nurgle lords and 2 tzeentch lords. I could see Glotkin only under the specific condition that Egrimm was the FLC otherwise it would look terrible. That being said Egrimm doesn't really hit the whole times theme so I don't know if he makes sense here.Vardek Crom? Possible except I think he is more FLC potential although is still tons of warriors of chaos units to pick from and he absolutely fits end times theme.I am literally realizing all they have left is Norscan and Warriors of Chaos units for chaos in this DLC. All the End Times Norsca candidates are already in the game though so it won't be them. I guess they could do the last 2 nurgle units and give glotkin some warriors of chaos stuff.
>>549371072I was thinking the exact same thing. If TW influencers know, doing that would be a good idea and not really break any rules. People will be flooding to that video to learn about it after the announcement. I dunno why, but I get more hyped for an AoS TW every day.
>>549371072oh boy just i want. warhammer fantasy with pronouns, pink hair, and space marines.
>>549371210
>>549371072So just like Troy, Pharoah, and Three Kingdoms I block them on steam and pretend it does not exist.
>>549371072Makes no sense for a 40k TW when there is DoW4 in 2026 with Lion Johnson and Blood RavensSince its in TGA where it'll be just announced without much fanfare it is Age of SmegmarThey don't want to ruin End Times and Medieval 3
>>549371072I'm not sure why people think it would be anything else. CA completely revitalized people's interest in WH fantasy, and GW will see this as a perfect opportunity to try the same thing with AOS. 40K already has tons of games too, so there's competition for CA, but AOS has literally zero video games and therefor they would get all the market share.It will probably still flop horribly since AOS is so fucking gay, but the logic is perfect for company men. Also if it flops GW won't give a shit because they're not funding it, they're leasing the IP
>>549371365i would but i am not on hormones like the average age of sigmar player
It can't be AOS because then the acronym would be TWAOS which sounds like a retard trying to say total chaos too fast
>>549333564Pretty much this, but Valrak doubts it's like helldivers like his leaker said him. Initially, in first video, Valrak said that this is absurd and probably bullshit, only in second video where he got more info he said it makes more sense.The thing is those playtest are being done by complete normalfags, sometimes people who don't even play video games. Remember that when Bulgarians were playtesting Troy their playtesters couldn't figure out that campaign map is in fucking turns and spent an hour until they realized that they need to click end turn button. If that 40k playtester wasn't a lying shitposter, he probably never saw a strategy game in his life, let alone scifi one like Stellaris/MoO/Endless Space etc so all that it reminded him of was a normalfag console action game like Helldivers.>>549338789There is nothing to remaster in DoW2 and remaster wouldn't be able to compete with EliteMod anyway. DoW1 didn't have a proper vanilla+ mod, dowpro has completely different gameplay.>>549341971>DRAGON SIBLINGSMassive fucking design mistake which makes chinks boring as hell. It should be just Zhao as a single Dragon Emperor, Monkey King, Kung fu human, Cao Cao etc. Actually varied LLs from every part of society and not this samey garbage.
For me?It's the lumineth realmlords
>>549371529>Actually varied LLs from every part of society and not this samey garbage.So basically you an exact clone of the Empire.
>>549342239Fleshing out map with premade characters wouldn't be bad if not immortality retardation. 3k design is all around superior. Tww wasn't designed around this many premade characters
Why is vlad so fucking ugly
What are we thinking of this in the trailer?Will settra get his chaos form or whatever from the end times?
Sooooo I just used Tyrion's consult leaders ability to up all of my lords and heroes by 1 level but it gave everybody anywhere from 2-20...Probably bugged
>>549371812Probably. They are directly referencing him getting the chaos gods blessing in end times.
HELLO MY NAME IS NATHAN! (reminder he lurks here and no longer does this intro as I bullied him for it)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHhuQVX-mRs
>>549371812>Will settra get his chaos form or whatever from the end times?that is his form in the end times, the TK get wrote off immediately which while lame is probably better than ogres or the skaven assassin writeoffs got
>>549371685All his magic is going to keeping his massive vampire dong intact and there's nothing left for the rest of his body.
>>549371960He literally takes video ideas from these threads. Everyone knows he lurks here.
>>549337834>What does he say?Gradually, I began to hate them.
>>549371812What trailer? I wasn't paying attention.
>>549371960>>549372068unless he makes a video on his predictions of legendary lords and heroes this week for the nagash dlc and neferata dlc i highly doubt it
>>549372035he comes back during thefinal assault to save nagash
>>549372114The one in the first post...
>>549372267Oh.. I didn't know there was a real trailer. I thought people just made things up again.
So, I'm guessing the Big Chinese Daddy Dragon is on cards now?Would be cool to have an endgame event where he is trying to terraform the world back into the frozen shithole it was before.
>>549372450Don't worry, The End Times is all made up anyway.
>>549372518>made upwell that's just all fiction innit
>>549371812My guess is that people will be moved around the map to their End Times locations. Settra will go up to the chaos wastes or wherever he ends up in the end times.
>>549372518I never had anything against the end times.
>>549370467CA finally recreated the feeling of playing with moba teammates in a pve map painter.
I know this game is a sandbox but I really hope you don't have the option to play as Arkhan and oppose Nagash.There's a decent motive for at least every other undead character to oppose Nagash if you really want to go against him, but not Arkhan.
>>549372552>to their End Times locationsWho even moves?
>>549372172You would be surprised. Turin literally started the; >SingcelTo try to promote his esports faggot discord, then outsourced it to minions from his discord after he got told to fuck off immediately.>Milkandcummies used to post regularly but got btfo by Grom, cried for a bit called us all bad then went quiet and mostly lurks now>GBOGAbsolutely lurks here and has used terms that are verboten on reddit or the official forums but very common here.>LegendObviously, he is also active on /pol/.Any Aussie would pick him out due to him complaining in the exact same way about the exact same thing from his little part of QLD on the same day someone was tard raging in the /auspol/ general.>SoitekThat fucking slob could not help poking his unwashed, ungroomed, disgusting head in here during and after the showcase and spent most of his time being a whinging faggot, complaining about bullying and being mean but also how interesting soitek's bullshit was on the showcase. It ramped up after the first 30 mins or so and was clearly some kind of mini raid from his subreddit or discord. Every time he gets any attention outside his channel he checks here and its fucking obvious, due to the immediate uptick in whiny faggot reddit social shame posting that appears out of nowhere for a couple hours then evaporates. He thinks he is slick because he never directly asks people not to 'bully' 'soitek' directly but his posts always follow someone ripping into him. He deserves 10 times the ridicule until he loses 25kg and has a fucking close shave and a haircut.

So nothing can ever attack you while you go around supporting whoever you like.Mmm..
>>549372834Some people move to Age of Sigmar. The rest move to the ground.
Is it fair to assume that AoS fans are actually Nurgle followers?
As much as I love to shit on valrak, I think the most plausible scenario is that both 40K and SW are real, it's just that SW is the one that comes first and it's announced at the TGA, meanwhile 40K arrives between SW and Medieval 3.I think it makes a lot of sense since SW is something that you can easily cover with a single game and some DLC, and it allows CA to test out a sci-fi setting to prepare to the much, much longer trilogy of 40K.
>>549373575They made a new engine just so they wouldn't have to make trilogy games anymore.
Just THREE more sleeps until Half Life X.
>>549373737Even if it's not a trilogy, it would still be a massively longer project. Same size and time, just one game instead of 3.
>>549373498We have been over this. AoS is primarily a tranny setting - it wears the affectations of something it is not and pretends to be warhammer fantasy but is a grotesque corruption and disfigurement of WHFB.So it is squarely Slaanesh. This is why Slaanesh being removed from the pantheon also doesn't matter - everything in the fucking setting permeates with its sick and twisted influence.

>>549378168Unironically one of the more tactical units in Total War I think. My brain doesn't register them as "big worm SEMs" but "DoW2 jump-pack assault marines with a shoddy autocannon," they're weird as fuck but great to use and feel super rewarding to maneuver and time their attacks with.

End times in my campaign
why can't I win a lottery or something instead?
Going to get Tides, who's the most worth playing first? I was going to try Dechala since I never actually played N'Kari and was waiting for slaanesh to get an update, has his campaign gotten any better in 7.0?
>>549379292The Crimson Fever, apparently the most bitchmade of the plagues, absolutely fucked up an entire theater of war in my current campaign. Had to actually play around it and purposely recruited shit lords to suicide infected armies deeper into enemy territory, it was pretty cool.

Not worth it, you can get Archaon for that price and Mask is much better offensively against infantry with her mortis engine and Sigvald is infinitely better defensively and is cheap as heck.
>>549380097>MultiplayerLol
>singlcel cuckpaign cheatsLol
>>549380097Can Archaon wield the Sword of Khaine and Slaanesh's Blade at the same time? Tho I'm not sure she can get it..but there must be other amazing weapons to give her besides khaine..

>>549379358N'kari was always pretty easy, the slaanesh changes benefit him a good bit as well. All the slaaneshi factions are good, new helf looks kinda boring but the elf additions and rework make the other lords better now.

>>549380779Their main team went to work on their next fantasy title while everyone else, including the WH3 DLC team, was hit by layoffs caused by the failure of Hyenas. Clearly they had to rethink what projects they were working on, because they also announced a sequel to Three Kingdoms a while back, which is clearly not happening anymore.
>>549381178But then my special hero is useless! I have to get a guards army. Otherwise this hero has nothing to do.
>>549381115Enticity, go to sleep, you'll have to prove that in Turin's qualifier today and then rematch the champ.
>>549381102Yeah I was mistaken. I was thinking of the a 800m figure that Sega announced in a related context but it wasn't just for hyenas.
CA can add in more dragons but they choose not to.
>>549380885I play both, like many in my LGS. but AoS is more popular.

Medieval 3 will be balanced for the MPchads just like TWWH was.
>>549381575Yeah, means I can aggressively auto resolve and not give a shit when 1 or 2 die. He has other buffs too.
Medieval 3 will be coop ONLY.
>>549380885>Or did releasing The Old World take over AoS?GW weren't wrong when they killed off fantasy the first time. It isn't a popular format. It still isn't, but luckily they've worked out how to sell every single model they produce at an inflated price no matter how many people actually play the game. They can release whatever they want now and people will slurp it up.

Rats have has a percentage chance PER SHOT to randomly lose artillery pieces or equipment fail and units die 3 weeks into WH2.Archaon has been able to mass confed all of Chaos and Norsca when he hits 30 and be a true end time threat for me for more than 2 years now.You little kiddy pool of CA excrement and discord circle jerking, is akin to a fingerpainting next to my personal Rembrandt.

Wulfrik won this patch/dlc
Did they alter the cheats the AI gets or something? Playing as Dechala and every legendary lord nearby has multiple full stacks by turn 15. I've never experienced this before on very hard. Gelt is absolutely going ham and has three full stacks and half of a fourth one. Lokhir has three. They cluster the armies together too. Game has quickly turned into a slog now. Doesn't help that Dechala has terrible mechanics that are both boring and low impact compared to N'Kari.

>>549382282>GW weren't wrongThey literally engineered the shithole they found themselves in and then instead of fixing their own inhouse issues they outsourced shit to retarded activists and shat out AoS.WHFB wasn't making money because it was 10 times more complicated than 40k, most models were ancient and in desperate need of upgrades, some by more than 20 years - and they had 0 online presence to promote the setting. 40k had DoW which made ENORMOUS inroads in pushing out 40k. Meanwhile they let EA make their MMO who summarily fucked up and then let it die to since it was not INSTANTLY on par with WoW at its peak ffs. EA did not do anything WoW did to snipe MMO players and cater to new ones so it was all but forgotten immediately except for a few hardcore grognards and DAoC veterans.Just like WHFB. AoS meanwhile was heavily promoted and pushed online and GW tried desperately to attach it to 40k and tis success and it has been an abject failure. You know which models sell the most? Only the ones with WHFB rules. They are making most of their money with AoS plastic selling as pseudo WHFB updates. Is anyone playing 8th? Fuck no, in house and one page rules almost entirely.

>>549382742Listen here, cunt, if it was not for people like me on TWcenter, the entire series would be long dead since shortly after Empire's release. MP was always a sequestered bullshit pygmy thing spawned out of Shogun 2. No, hotseat was not MP it was a really shit pen pal style game 'mode'.

That is still a 10 hour campaign at best.

>>549384289That's too normal. Grotesque trannies is the perfect Slaany aesthetic.
>>549383985I think most of the complaints I've seen levied against him have been pointed at the logistics management between battles, which is relatively onerous compared to other HE factions. And it certainly is more of a balancing act than what Tyrion or Alarielle have to put up with. That's not all what people get annoyed over, but it seems to be the largest part of it.
>>549384356Well then, just like real life - no one wants to look or interact with them.

>>549384142There's a few factors. Dechala and Aislinn have huge bugs. Dechala's might be mostly fixed, but Aislinn's sure as fuck aren't. As Aislinn do not confederate every single faction or you won't be able to make outposts (WTF), do not upgrade the basic building outpost chain unless you want to lose the ability to control the garrison. Aislinn's economy is also weirdly designed and feels like the dev "really" was desperate to not make him very strong so he ended up with a mostly crippled economy that takes the entire domination + tech tree + final battle to get any better. I'm actually glad because HE didn't become braindead easy mode like the Dwarfs and are merely easy, but the lack of a basic trait rework fucking sucks. The fuck is Negator/Protective/Entrepreneur tier shit doing in 2025 costing 60/40 influence? If dev Q&A is any indication, High Elves are meant to receive a trait rework, building/hero access rework and maybe other things, but only later. Why did it take a whole damn year then? Still, Aislinn is extremely fun, I love the guy and his campaign though it feels like it should get a slight touch beyond bug fixes, but wtf were you doing for that entire year TCAL? Why are his most basic functionalities control outpost army was advertised in his videos) bugged and why is the rework not yet complete? I'd understand it if it came out in Summer like it was meant to, not December
>>549383272>WHFB wasn't making money because it was 10 times more complicated than 40kAnd you think turning Fantasy in a skirmish game would have save it? lol. It would only turn away the last remaining fans. People that like Fantasy like moving their trays. And the trays will be reason why TOW will also die.
I don't play chaos much, is there a point in cult maguses? 300 gold for 10 turns is ridiculousCan't I just get a normal cultist of slaanesh and make cults that way?

>new LL's get cute little intro scenesWhat are the chances the rest of the LL's will get them eventually?
>>549386846Never ever.
>>549386846100% for the important lordsSofia won't catch a break
>>549380885The Old World is dead, nobody buys this shit. All those bretonnians, orcs and tomb kings are on discounts everywhere warming shelves and still nobody buys them Fantasyfags are like histoids, they only cry and shit themselves over their betters and then still not buy anything.
>>549386974>The Old World is dead, nobody buys this shitMaybe because nobody cares about FUCKING BRETONNIANS?
>>549387107You dare?
I finished the Aislin campaign it was really fun, but I don't get the point of unlocking the 50% Dragonship building discount AFTER I have already won. What's the point? I'll probably play Dechala next and come back to Aislin whenever I'm in the mood to colonize more shit.Yeah I can easily build up all of my dragonships now but what's the point when I ALREADY WON.
>>549385413>And you think turning Fantasy in a skirmish game would have save it? Nta but unironically yes. Rank and flank games are very obtuse in their nature. Skirmish is more easier to grasp. I tried picking up old world when it first came out with tomb kings and I needed a fuck ton of the rules interpreted with the dude I was playing with and it kinda just ruined the flow.
/tg/ filth in my total war general?
>>549387468Warhammer general.
But hey, at least we're getting Medieval 3 at some point.It's going to be awful, won't it? I still have Vietnam flashbacks to Rome 2.
>>549387515
>>549387351It's a very useful discount actually, I barely was t3 with Aislinn when I've finished the battle, and afterwards I still have to go to Cathay to beat up Lokhir, kill Morathi to get Arnheim, kill Rakarth to get his colony, kill some rats to get their colony in Lustria. The long victory conditions are extremely long here
>>549387351Also just to add, considering the income late game, there's no point to the discount. I should've gotten that maybe mid game.
>>549387596Yes. Total Warhammer.
I still don't know how to play as Reikland.I swear to god, with every expansion, the devs keep throwing more shit at the Empire.
>>549387845faith + steel + gunpowder
>>549383261They all lose to Greasus.
>>549387619Given you a broken buff at the end of the campaign that is redundant anyway is a total war warhammer tradition
>>549387619Couldn't they make the dragonship look less lame. His is this thing supposed to go against a floating city?
>>549387468/twg/ is a colony of /tg/, not a sovereign thread.
>>549387845use your elector count points, silly
>>549387468Don't you know? /tg/ is our greatest ally.
>>549388071Well, that's how they look in lore. Fucking lame.
>>549387845Reikland has always required a very specific sequence of decisions in the first few turns to not put yourself into a horrible position.
>>549388071It's nearly indestructible and crewed by chadsur marines instead of drucuck sissies.
>>549388224>It's nearly indestructibleLokhir destroyed Aislinn's ship quite easily tho.
>>549388301Lokhir cheated
So when is Tzeentch getting it's third LL/FLC lord. I don't care for how Kairos or the Changling play
>>549388452Any ideas for a third LL?
>>549388452Before end times dlc, surely
>>549385006>Bought all 3>Played 30 turns of Sayl>Have completely lost interest in the game againI dunno why I keep doing this. I'm so bored of this game.
>>549375017Bro? Your free extra 9 AP from Aislinn's tech tree?
>>549388550Egrimm
>>549388452>I don't care for how Kairos or the Changling playDoubt you will care about a dude that isn't painting a map but building cult buildings either then.
>>549388598U mean this? I haven't read those. I'm doing the normal tech trees.
>>549387616I managed it in around 100 turns, although Sartosa and Lokhir got taken out by someone else entirely.Mostly I was fucking around wiping out the druchii and cleaning up Lustria after firmly securing the donut(you get a pretty good summon item as a reward) after which I just needed to colonize a few settlements for victory condition+final battle.I guess if Sartosa and Lokhir weren't taken out by someone else I'd need a lot more turns.
Why cant the Slaanesh LLs sound normal they always have this weird annoying double voice effect shouldnt dechala be hissing and stuff?
>>549380885No, people plqy 40k. AoS is as much an aftethought as fantasy was.
So, what are the chances for that Total War 40k?
>>549388983It's already 100% confirmed.
>>549388983It's practically confirmed
>>549383934this isn't even new when achievement managers have existed for like at least a decade
>>549389019>>549389040I still don't know how they are planning to do gun to gun and space combat, but ok, sure, why not.
>>549389240Well we are going to find out in 3 days
>>549389240space combat is just simpler naval combatso its not in lmaooooooo
>>549389240>space combatWhy would it have space combat? Space combat isn't part of the base 40k IP. It's a completely different game with a different GW license.
It's going to be Star Wars.Does anyone care about Star Wars anymore?
>>549388983The followup SW leak makes the chances of a TW:SW basically 0 (no way they're making an Old Republic TW) and we know "warcore" has spess kombat mechanics from screenshots of them showing off the engine, so it's basically 40k.
>>549389385Because I want Dawn of War with the unit cap removed combined with Battlefleet Gothic.
This is my aislin on short victory with sword of khaine, he's pretty goofy. Recruited the sea elementals near the end, didn't need them, I used a full stack of lothern sea guard w/ shields with a couple bolth throwers pretty much from the beginning. really easy campaign
>>549388587>I'm so bored of this game.Its because the Warhammer games are fundamentally shallow and they just distract from this by piling on more gimmicks. Eventually your brain notices that DLC is just powercreep for the player and rebels. You would not have this problem with Shogun 2.
Where the FUCK did you retards pick up "ITS LOTR/STAR WARS/GOT" from? Let me guess, some "eceleb" """leaker"""" told you dumb sheeps that
>>549337385I love lords of change so much
>>549389927>Every single unit is just a recolor>Literally NO difference between factions besides like 1 "special" unit (recolor) with 2+ more melee skill>FUNWipe that drool off your mouth, downie
>>549389928Because 40k's the lamest option they could choose for the next fantasy game, so people hope for at least something not that cringe.
>>549389928First who spread SW rumor was a console game journal called Dualshockers. They just casually throw out that they got some info about SW total war in the works.
>>549389240Take leadbelchers. Now imagine they are devastator marines. Done.>>549389919»muh powercreep »dechala isn't even better than sigvald Lmao
>>549390113GOT would have been lamer. That's a historical game with extra steps.
>>549389240>space combatOh my lord the 40kucks are in for a rude awakening if this is how high their expectations of CA are kek
>>549388983100% kneel to Valrak.
>>549389240Leadbelchers are Plasma Cannon Space Marines. Ogre Maneaters are Tactical Space Marines. Assault Space Marines are weaker Ogre Maneaters with a jump pack ability that works a bit like the Dreadmaw.
>>549390039>Shogun 2 has less variety>AI suddenly isn't braindead>AI actually builds sensible armies>last Total War where the AI can actually play its own gamehmmmm surely a coincidence
>>549388983>SW leaker confirmed it's another game entirely >Warcore made with vehicles, destruction and gore in mind>Valrak already called the destruction part months agoIt's basically confirmed, also the leaked space fleet commands.
>>549390528give it a break bro madison will never love you
>>549389394They should do Twilight Imperium. It's got it all. Snake women with a mind control fetish, vampfus, khajits, cyborg babes, etc.
>>549390528>AI suddenly isn't braindead (war declares you across the nation while being fucked by neighbours themselves)>AI actually builds sensible armies (10 ashigaru 10 bow ashigaru)>last Total War where the AI can actually play its own game (the game where the AI gets the biggest cheats on even normal)
>>549390553Its amazing how many hoops anti-40k have to jump just to discredit 40kMeanwhile we come here with piles of evidenceI bet there never was a total war star warsSome retarded normie journo received information that there was gonna be a futuristic total war and reched his own conclusion because star wars is all his tiny mind could muster
I genuinely hope its a star wars game. I want CA to make an aos and 40k game but I really want them to do it with a non total war title. On the other hand it would be funny if Dawn of war 4 killed total war warhammer 40k.
>>549390649>Pax Magnifica Bellum GloriosumThe peace and glorious huge war...?Wtf?
>>549389240It won't have space combat.
>>549389240I don't know what's so hard to imagine, you will take your rectangle of space marines, you point at the to shoot at another rectangle of enemies, and they'll start shooting, with the back row shooting through the front rows as if they weren't there.That's it, that's how gun combat is going to work.
>>549390728>I genuinely hope its a star wars gameBut you only have like two factions in SW. Empire and Rebels. That would get boring very quickly.
>>549390660Just like intelligent characters in media - the VI (it is not AI retards) is only as intelligent as the person(s) coding it. So it is safe to assume the programmers CA hires are barely above average normalfaggots.
>>549390628Obviously, Madison only has eyes for me
>>549391107You say that and yet she only has (You)s for me. Curious!
>>549390628I dont care about Eceleb NONSENSE. Warhammer kids have a crack in their head.>spend £20,000 buying all the DLC>still cant have a decent siege battle
>>549386352how do you figure? The cult magus that is recruited allows you to establish the "special" cult which increases agent capacity and siphons income.
>>549391251I enjoyed this siege very much.
>>549390707Is this 40cuck talking about intelligence?? LMAOOOOO
>>549389240The secret is that guns in 40k suck outside of a few dedicated shooting factions that use big gun line formations like Napoleonic armies. 40k is 90% melee combat with guns just being a sidearm that deals a bit of damage while you're charging in. It was designed this way on purpose, tabletop WHF and 40k are nearly identical rules-wise
>they swapped the capital position of cathayan hinterlands from the coast to the mountain range entranceliterally why
>>549390660>AI actually builds sensible armies (10 ashigaru 10 bow ashigaru)That's a balanced army for a faction that cant afford good units.Warhammerchild, baka. Your idea of 'depth' is just adding a bunch of mechanics for the player that the AI is just never trained to use.
>>549391326With destructible buildings you can bet that cover and destroying cover will be a big thing.>Ranged units with cover wins against mostly anything, gets beaten by flanking melee and artillery.
>>549388945one of the exalted keeper of secrets is just a dude with a pitch shifted voice, its annoying and gay, but what can you expect from a small family company?
>>549300593see the champions of slaanesh there? they are basically infantry blendersi forgot to send them against the greatswords but its ok also this was on vh/vh and for some reason the ai literally did nothing when i just moved dechala up to kill the helstorms and then gelt
>>549391326This pretty much, the peak of 40k tactics in large battles pitched battles are napoleonic tactics, so you can simulate them fairly easily in Total War. Nobody in 40k actually uses actual modern warfare strategies and techniques so there's no need to worry about TW not being able to handle those.
>>549390791MAGNIFICENT PEACEGLORIOUS WAR
>>549391326Quartiaries think space marines operate like the marines seal team or shit like that when its more like plate knights with machineguns
Played a Clan Pestilens campaign recently. They and Skrolk are disappointing, they're kind of boring.
>avelorn patronage archer damage bonus doesn't affect sisters of avelorn>nagarythe patronage gives no bonus for shadow warriorswhaddefug
>>549392274small bulgarians
>>549392138To be fair it just makes sense for them to be used as real life special forces are used. And yeah, Space Marines can have their uses as shock troops in conventional battles too, but using them in a complete frontal assault is just fucking stupid if there's less valuable units you can throw at it like Imperial Guard.Plus Space Marine power levels are just so fucking retarded, in some texts it says a company is enough to take over a world but then you have other texts you have space marines dying by the dozen against enemies that are considerably weaker than the combined armed forces of an entire planet. If Space Marines really are meant to conquer entire worlds with just a company it would make much more sense for them to do so through a mix of covert operations and fast in and out lighting strikes on critical locations, rather than just meeting an army on the battlefield and charging at them.
>>549392274>the constant watchfulness of the Rangers that guard its borders>doesn't buff rangers
>>549390791Magnificent peace, glorious war
>>549392476That is true but guerrilla tactics is hardly a modern warfare thing
Even corporate pear golem sotek acknowledged 40k and laughed at star wars, and if someone is in ca payroll, he 100% isits totally over
>>549392920is this why they deleted the chat history from the stream because ppl were calling sotek pear golem even tho its true
>>549339652But Xisters told me they are OP now...
>>549391326Imagine the Tau gameplay now.
>>549392920>>549392995what does pear golem mean?
>>549339943Sayl's is interesting because you basically have to push west first and take care of Zhatan, Kholek, Tamurkhan and Grimgor before going into Cathay or they're going to murk you later. Sayl is not liked by any of his neighbors.
>>549393115He looks like a pear, and is a loyal servant to CA
>>549393115look at sotek's face and then a picture of a pear and then think about it
>>549371072This faggot unironically watches lazerpig, I can't stand him now
>>549385786This guy has good sensibilities but is a lazy as fuck with the kitbash process. The models don't have any properly reduced LODs so every unit is like 80,000 triangles being rendered at the same time. Zooming in on those Chosen costs like 30 fps.
>>549393330That's a shame because the chosen look really cool
Just saw the state of LegendOfTotalWar's hairline what the fuck is he doing
>>549393089They're actually gonna have to nerf the tau to shit because barring some factions like marines and eldar, if the tau meet a force of similar numbers to them chances are they'll probably win. I have a hard time imagining a guard army with 5k dudes winning against a tau army with also 5k dudes. if it's was 15k vs 5k I could see it, but I doubt the in-game numbers will reach that high.
>>549371072He's a Halofag way before being a warhammerfag.So it's going to be total war Halo?
>>549393480Enjoying his asian-australian wife and not giving a shit about his hairline
>>549393505Why couldn't they just have factions with low model counts as their gimmick?
>>549371072I like pancreas but I'm not watching any AoS bullshit, fuck that whole setting.
>>549393524We already had that. It was called Halo Wars 2.
>>549393505trust in the basilisk
>>549393524also halo wars 3 got pitched by the tcaluk and it got axed, so halo wars is a dead franchisewould have had space combat so we could get an idea of what 40k space combat if it has it would look like
>>549371072I don't like that guy because he singlehandedly led to the rise of the midwit belief that the Imperium are the 40k Skaven
>>549393505you speak as if IG artillery and tank spam wouldnt be cancer
>>549393719How are the imperial guard not
>>549393950>>549393950>>549393950
>>549393719But they are>upstart chaos god (not really)>more troops that everybody else (not really)>unreliable tech fueled with magic (not really)>would be the top dog if they stopped infighting (not really)>eat their own people (not really)it's one of those reddit ackchually moments
>>549385724Cult Magus can be used to recreate a new cult.The cult built by Cult Magus have a unique building chain (I don't remeber what it does sorry)
>>549393597I think this will be a similar problem to other 40k games like DOW where the numbers will be a case of ludonarrative dissonance. Like in DOW you'll be fighting in an IG stronghold but there'll be less than 200 guardsmen on the ground. Same thing here, the engine can't support tens of thousands of troops so you'll have a massive ork army that in reality is only a few thousand orks, while a huge space marine army will be considered like 500 or so, which, to be fair, for marines specifically it does actually make sense in lore.
>>549393719They literally are thoughbeit
>>549394006They do kind of eat their own people though, like yeah there aren't slaughterhouses for cattle-humans but corpse starch is a thing.
>>549371135Tzeentch will get his due but it's clearly Glottkin. Nagash had a book, Thanquol had a book, Glottkin had a book. So they're in. Malekith and Archaon also had books but they're already in the game, we know they're getting content too.Valten is a reasonable pick to throw Empire fags a bone. Then the FLC could just be Boris Todbringer because people have been wanting him for years and Middenheim's fall ends the world.
>>549390707>I bet there never was a total war star wars>Some retarded normie journo received information that there was gonna be a futuristic total war and reched his own conclusion because star wars is all his tiny mind could musterAssuming it was not a made up complete bullshit, he could have misidentified Cadians for Endor Rebels, Sentinel for AT-ST and a Power Sword for a Lightsaber
>>549393719That idea predates him because it's an extremely obvious parallel
>>549392476Just look at space marine 2, they shoot while walking forward until melee range.Nothing else, nothing more.It'll just be Warhammer 3 with way more shooting, instead of most factions being melee with some shooting it'll be most shooting with some melee.The true unique bullshit will come out of weapon behaviour and their respective pros and cons.Like how plasma, pulse, rail, bolter, flamer, shuriken cannon behave against various armors
>>549376721spacemanii is funnier
>>549388071It's almost as big as a black ark, you can see them both and regular ships for comparison in Aislinn's quest battle.
>>549388550Galrauch
>>549380885/40kg/ here, it's bigger than much of WHFB was. Be it's own merits or WHFB's problems, I can't judge.
