Im gonna be honest, I enjoyed 3k and attila much more than any of the 3 warhammer gamesThe setting and the combat never really clicked to me I guess I should try troy and pharaoh
Thanquol soon, friends!
first for tower guard
>>550900976Warhammer 40K will be developed for 10 yearsNeferata will be the FLC for Lords of the End TimesGrand Cathay will be receiving a Character PackMedieval 3 will continue to produce blog posts and dev talksSome older historical Total War titles will be receiving "Legacy" updates
>>550901176Those two are also very different. Strangely Troy really clicks for me but I could never enjoy pharaoh. I think Shogun 2 has what I consider 'total war feel' but I guess it would be different for everyone.
>>550900976
>>550901543Warspace...
>>550901243A classic unit, how are they in Dawnless Days. I've yet to actually build a T4 barracks, finally built a T4 stables only to be extremely dissapointed to learn that you can only recruit one unit of Knights of the Silver Swan. Overall the Gondor Roster is pretty cool, though I have my gripes.>>550900795They are a Pike unit, not halberdiers so thats probably why.
Since its basically confirmed theyre getting celeb voice actors, what with David Harbour being attached, heres the others they should get since theyre down to spend money on celebs but not use it to fix WH3 (KEK)>Ghazghkull: Karl Urban>Marneus Calgar: Mark Strong>Roboute Guilliman: Henry Cavill>Ciaphas Cain: Phil LaMarr>Eldrad: David TennantAlso because its going to happen>that OC IG nigger woman: Debra Wilson

>>550902817It's not like /twg/ didn't see that shit on the daily for the past however many years, but I suppose there's been an uptick since 40k was in the news.
>>550902915
>>550901952CA has had celebrity voice actors before, like Iwan Rheon(Ramsey Bolton) for Rakarth. I would not assume that this means every character gets a celeb though.

>>550904748Seeing Belakor bend the knee to Ogres is really really funny
Would you consider playing Warhammer: Total War 40,000 on a console? Or are you exclusively interested in the PC experience?
>>550905645i havent played anything on a console in probably a decade and i dont care to
>>550901723real
Warcore
>>550905645how do you even play RTS kind of games on consoles?
>>550904702>Neferata AnonsI don't understand these people. I know they don't want her because of her personality. And they have no idea what her mechanics would be or if they'd be any fun. Is it really just the ginormous hat? Because that's the only unique thing about her implementation that could be guaranteed before she showed up in the trailer.
>>550904702Best anniversary scenario ever
>>550905974Poorly.It's usually an extremely clumsy experience at best and being specifically designed for consoles usually cripples the gameplay itself and the UI e.g. halo wars.
>>550906096hat
How will they balance Nagash?
>>550905645Last console I owned was a bootleg NES that I got like 30 years ago. I play games exclusively on PC.
>>550906293they'll make him a wind spell like they did with nightmaw
>>550905645Trying to play total war on a controller would be pain. I do not own a console.
LL for this?

>>550906810not on the same level as war sleds, but boar chariots with the tech tree upgrade get pretty meaty
I dont know what i want to play anymore
>trying to figure out which lion to recruitI feel like the Jade Lion has more value, but the Jet Lion looks nice if you're dealing with a ranged faction. The Celestial Lion looks like its asking to be merc'd by arrows or a proper flying melee unit
>>550908047what are you hiding?
Take me back to warhammer 2 dark elf malekith campaign
>>550909048Look at the portrait of his generalShe's fucking naked
damn, the elves got really nice lords
>>550909171Lokhir low tier unit spam... take me back...
>>550909460Lmaoing at being named fernharvest you just know shr got bullied over that
>>550909781kek
>>550908279I'll have to try them next time I do a beastmen ra roo campaign. Or are they orc?Legit I am going to take a look at the stats to see about using it in Pharaoh, though I suspect the musketry does a good deal of the damage what's key for me is they actually let you tear through enemy formations and behave like actual chariots, not just cavalry on a platform
why are the long campaign goals in wh3 so damn arduous, contrived and often so far away on the mapin shogun 2 it's so simple, even 3k it's not that obtuse or so much map crossing until the very end
>>550901448Gave dynasties a tryReally like the presentation and the campaign systems but the battles are a tad chaotic for my liking, units blob together waaay too much here
On the topic of blobbingGod I hope warcore fixed units rubberbanding eachother till they merge together
Why does no one play Tzeentch
>>550909460dark elf ones mog
>>550910026>>550910375*no one finishes long campaigns
>>550910026Just get VCO unironically
>>550909171I can’t remember if I did it in vortex or ME>>550909660you can still do that. lokhir is a really good lord in WH3
>>550910428I finish long campaigns… ;______;
>>550910827you and 5% of other players!
>>550903507>>550903667Don't forget Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield) as Belakor
What celebrity would you have voice (You)r favorite LL?
>>550911993I dont think about non jp va. Aoi yuki both sisters
>>550911993Chris Rock should voice Boris Todbringer
Don't forget /ourgirls/, Clio and Lumi
>>550910375idk tzeentch roster just feels a bit incoherentlike it doesn't feel like your army matters you kind of just set up your army and either hold somewhere or send them in while your lords and heroes fly around spamming magic until the battle is won
yup, fantasy won
>>550910893we're an elite few!honestly most of my achievements are even less than 5%
>>550912430Looks great. Wish there was a way to get the Attila rendering treatment in Warhammer games.
>climbing on walls against ogres i am a genius and master of strategy. it's funny how the walls actually make it harder for ogres to defend settlements
I don't like evil non-human factions ):
>>550912904yeah it's a bit of an ogresight by CA to make it so they are basically defenseless in defensive sieges
>>550906810Legend says Heavy Chariots suck THOUGH.
>>550907958Looks like a skill issue.
I don't hate myself so I still have yet to actually fight a defensive siege battle
>>550912904Sieges can be so kino. I really should branch out and play something other than High Elves and Cathay. It's just a shame that you very rarely get close defensive sieges as the player, it's either an easy win or a random settlement in bumfuck nowhere gets randomly assaulted by a freshly spawned brayherd with no inbetween.
>>550913667you should try all the factions! chorfs are really fun! helves and cathay are actually pretty boring and vanilla, the whole appeal of warhammer is the faction variety. theres over 20 factions and 100 LLs, why are you playing the same thing over and over?
>dreadfleet is looking menacing>declare war on them>send your dog Tyrion to exterminate themkek
>>550910375Initial factions are very bare bones on release. They usually get good after getting a DLC. Tzeentch got SoC so many people skipped it or got it at a later point, but they're still not really interested in shit from it.
>40k the most popular total war game of all time>10 years of confirmed support and DLC>WH3 receiving End Times and more content into 2026>the only historical title being discussed is a fantasy mod for AtillaI am genuinely happy to see histoids suffer. After ruining this general for years with their autistic meltdowns over fantasy and now 40k they deserve every single thing they get. The only thing left to do is fix the vandalized OP that the schizo keeps ruining after he gives up a week from now.See you in 5 years when Med 3 flops like Pharaoh.
How do I play Masque?I wanna play Slaanesh but I don't have money for dlc and I don't wanna fight nothing but high elves for 50 turns
>>550914212confed nkari and then solo everythingdo you have champions of chaos DLC at least?
>>550913813>why are you playing the same thing over and over?Because I like the way Helves look and I like the way Cathay fight. Although I preferred it when harmony was factionwide as opposed to provincewide but I can see in the appeal in minmaxing each province into either Yin or Yang depending on its purpose. I've personally been eyeballing Khorne but I really don't like the raze -> hope and pray it colonizes on end turn loop.
>>550914386I gotta keep it 100 with you, anonI don't own a single dlc for any of the three games
>>550914663NTA but Chaos sucks without WoC and CoC. The monogod DLC's are sort of skippable though tbdesunenojathoughbeit
>>550914663aight beti got you lord, slaanesh caster, cultist on warshrine, 13 chaos warriors, 4 allied recruited artillery units
Do rebellions spawn in any settlement that reaches -100 public order? or do them spawn in the main one?
Any Pharaoh tips? Specifically Sherden?I suck at Total War and mostly only played some of WH3. It's my first campaign on Pharaoh and I'm about 23 turns in and at war with like 8 factions, I don't think it will end well for me.
>>550915616only in the province capital - if you have itif you don't, then it's random 1 settlement
>>550915616they spawn in the main city or if you dont own it they spawn seemingly at random in a minor one, factions don't share the public loyalty of a province you each have your own for the settlements you hold
>>550915920>>550915964thanks.
>>550915901no one plays pharaoh here sorry
>>550916139ummmm... where is troy...?
>>550916461even lower, 200 peoplehttps://steamcharts.com/search/?q=total+war
>>550916139Unlucky.I'm not exactly a history buff, but I find the time period super interesting. Shame the game fuckin flopped like it did.
Im playing as lizards and control 5 regions after deafeating a gorillion skavens and some tomb doom stacks. What should i go for? build economy? Get higher tier units? I built an arena but the low tier units from the arena are kinda shit should i go for templer guards ?
anime feet
I see your IEE and Old World. And I raise you RIS. Old World has barely 1,300 settlements. RIS has well over 1,800. It's okay to kneel, most hammerfags do. For is it any wonder that RIS alone has a larger filesize than Rome 2 and Attila combined. No need to reply. I know you're frozen in awe of our achievements. Yet again Rome has set the standard and yet again the rest of Total War falls short. And do you know what makes this all the funnier? This settlement map is actually outdated now.
Should I have guard on by default?

>>550917398Download the ligger mod that gives you a lot of dinos and archeology caravans, ligger heroes start weak as hell but level into strong mounts that invalidate getting the sems ever
>>550917850I can't believe that those scaly brutes have 75 leadership. They are literally braver than Empire Greatswords.
>>550917850saurus the spear/shield/club units or the heroes? I dont have enough money to have multiple heroes. Is it better to get temple guards or Kroxigor? I can't afford to upgrade the arena to get the higher tier monsters
>>550918285>saurus the spear/shield/club units or the heroes?The unit, not the hero. Krox are better than Temple Guard especially the Sacred ones. Temple Guard are alright on the battlefield but the 2 turn recruitment makes them dogshit.
>>550915901Sherden is basically the Khorne of Pharoh, just mass recruit armies, sack or raze every settlement and fight everyone. Make sure you take the path of the marauder to get even more resources from razing stuff.
>>550918162That just means they're too dumb to retreat

>landlocked enemy withdrawing shows more mobility than you with full movement in your stackActual fucking bullshit.It would be one thing if having lots of artillery, super heavies or the like actually slowed your stack speed. Hell the older titles having a single catapult made you slower on the campaign map, this is just nonsense.

it's so satisfying blasting this guy to pieces with blunderbusses. that's what you get for declaring war on me when I was just about to invade imrik
>>550920984>large single entity LL flying solo right into the mass range fireThis is why late game Vlad is so fucking scary and Mannfred is such a hilarious pushover.
>tomb kings armies eventually are ushabti mostly = ogres>bretonnia pegasus/hippogriff knights = ogres>empire demigryphs = ogres>skaven rat ogres>beastmen minotars>kislev bear riders = ogres>factions with trolls = bad ogres>beastmen minotaurs = ogresliterally every faction with a good melee is just ogres
>>550921675same goes for ranged units. good ranged units are basically just reskinned ogre lead belchers
>>550919581The droods..>>550920307This was just a quick force I assembled to deal with them, my whole army is in Germany, this was the Br*tish garrison
>>550921675same goes for cavalry units. good cavalry units are basically just reskinned crushers with great weapons
>>550921675>>550921939>>550922185stop samefagging your retarded bait
Ok i give upSkaven keeps spamming doomstacks every time i clear them and on top of that the tomb kings go through all the skaven settlements to where i am just to get to attack me. Why aren't they attacking the skaven?
>>550924450skaven and skelleton-things are greatest bestest ally-friends
>>550921675>>550923906I don't even get where this anon is going. Ogres feel totally different to Chosens and Trolls and Mors roided Rat Ogres have a way bigger knockback and whatnot. Pegasus are squishy af and jobs to ranged. Hipos..never used them, too late and too expensive
>>550924565thats fucking bullshit, Every time im about to conquer skaven settlements the tomb king comes with 3 tier silver units in a doom stack. And then the skaven regenerate the main army and create more stacks of trash units. I think i give up. I literally cant do shit
>>550924450Which race are you? Some Races are more likely to attack each other. If you are too weak and too spread thin, the A.I also attacks you more oftenHonestly just get the a.i patch mod, makes the game less retarded and less likely for the a.i to suicide on you while their army is being fucked from behind
>>550924829>>>/pol/
>>550924741Do what other anon said and get the a.i patch + anti a.i cheat mod, games feels unplayable without them
>>550924882kek
>>550924663i >>550921939 replied to >>550921675 nonsense with more exagerated nonsense. i thought it was quite obvious
>>550924829>Which race are you? im lizardmen the one that has 50% less unkeep . Im currently holding the first full region from where i spawned. The skaven keeps spamming stacks and every time i get the upper hand the tomb king comes with a full stack of 3 silver tier exp units . I can't afford more than one stacks so im stuck in a cycle which im ultimately going to lose cause every time the skaven comes with more units
>>550925109also my lizard ally diddn't do shit at all like it didnt even move the army and got rekt by the tomb kings im alone vs everything
OOOOHHH OGRES OGRES
so this is the elven gameplay...
>>550901448>>550910220I like both Troy and Pharaoh Dynasties but I ironically think they both suffer from issues the other fixes>TroyI like how every faction has their own unique units that make up a majority of their non-Mythos roster but outside of the unique units, everything else kind of feels uninteresting unless you get one of the unique Mythos units but you can only have 1 of them each. Kind of wish the normal Mythos units and the base roster had more variety. In the end youll more or less have your armies composed of primarily your unique units (which are usually endgame tier) with a few Mythos units (the unique ones specifically) per army. >Pharaoh DynastiesEveryone has a better variety of general units allowing for some different approaches, ofc some rosters are better at certain things than others but the issue is the unique units for each faction (especially minor factions) barely exists. Everything gets too same-y but with general units rather than uniques units.

Damn, Morghur is a lot of fun. Havent played him since wh2. Other than Chaos Spawn and Jabberslythes, how are cockatrices for him? Never used that unit.
>>550931664I haven't upgraded his army at all. My wizard just dieded but I still run around with random trash and just Pile of Violence into everything.That Chimera is fucking amazing tho

>>550935379they attempted to fix a recent bug where lizardmen and tomb kings would just sit there and not recruit anything but ended up making it apply to every single faction, happens most often if the cpu loses a city that has all their recruitment buildings or to end game factions that revive during a crisis, the cpu can unfuck itself if it has control of a main settlement and can rebuild
Look at what this general has taught me. You guys are bad influence. I should just start playing Skaven with these rat tactics at this pace
>>550935984Doomstacks are peak SOVL though
How does radious rebalance the game anyway? I know it adds a bunch of units.
>>550935984rat tactics are actually more difficult since you actually have to have line of sight for the guns and they're not hybrids so there's more micro involved in protecting them. they do have poison wind mortars and plagueclaw catapults tho, which arc and are much better than what the elves have, but their armies require more micro. with the high elves, you literally just set up and watch

>>550937198Armor reducing effects exist.
>>550935456>>550935941The issue I actually have isnt them being parked there. My issue is that they came out of nowhere with 6 armies.I was watching Grimgor, Thamurkhan and Arbaal duke it out there since the start of the campaign. Once I finished mopping up Cathay I focused on Grimgor and eventually declared war on him. 2 Turns in after taking a settlement there I saw one Kislev army. And a turn later Tzarina and her entire extended family appeared from one settlement despite no Kislev anywhere. I dont think Kislev has any crisis right? And even if it did it wouldnt trigger that close to Cathay.
This is gonna be awesome

>>550940281This shit wont be fixed.ftfy
>>550940121Story-wise, them being strong and on the upswing while the "order" factions are decadent and weak is the entire reason for the plot. Orcs are canonically stronger, better organized and have more resources. This is why the books have a plot to begin with. They are winning even without the ring. The forces of good cannot really win without destroying the ring. So doing it like BfME is wrong. The forces of good should feel like underdogs. But they don't because the depiction of the factions are wrong. I'm holding off due to this most likely being the case.

I have been thinking about what if they reworked confederation in such a way that gives you access to a mechanic similar to what the Empire/HE got?For example you are Thorgrim and you "confederate" other Dwarves like Ungrim. Instead of absorbing their settlements and armies you instead are able to use diplomacy like Karl Franz does when you confederate 2+ Factions and add stuff like Elector Counts and faction resurrection so you can unite the, Karaz Ankor and help other dwarves that are assaulted via actions like sending aid or spawning an army for them.
Hm..I'm kinda getting bored of this one. The stupid Dread limit doesn't allow me to shit out endless armies... so it's really slow..I think this campaign dies now.
this is total war not total diplomacy

>>550942249It's honestly excellent but also obviously unfinished. The towns can already get pretty big, but I want BIGGER, with cathedrals and proper castles, and I want city walls. I stopped playing when the current version had the clothing bug that meant you either dedicated half your population to the clothes grind or you couldn't even advance to tier 3, did they fix that already?

>>550948062>THE>not ZEchurlishpeasant even
Does anyone actually play past the long campaign victory? There's no motivation to for me, and I feel this is probably the greatest failure of CA for this game. I can just auto resolve 90% of fights. The AI is so retarded that one of my endgame stacks can easily beat 4 AI stacks. Tech tree is maxed out, unlimited resources. Where's the incentive or challenge to keep going?
>>550950382It's called victory for a reason dumbass
>>550950382vco makes every campaign infinitally more fun. is there any company except valve that hires modders and incorporates their shit? seems like a no brainer to me
>>550950449But there are two further campaigns you are supposedly meant to complete. But the gameplay becomes so dry and repetitive because of retarded AI that there is no motivation to continue.
>>550950890It's not uncommon for companies to reach out to prominent modders of their games and offer them positions or some kind of contract position as a consultant even if they don't ultimately hire them. Many recruits to companies start our that way though.
>>550950382I have a few goals that I like to meet every campaign and once they are met I consider it done, and may or may not keep playing at that point but probably not unless I have an rp goal in mind, or if the faction has VCO objectives that seem worth doing. >starting continent conquered, along with neighboring continents that seem significant>building several thematic armies and using them several times in battle and leveling up the characters to get everything they need (this makes factions with more rosters have longer campaigns)>maxing out tech tree>100000 gold or 8k incomeI genuinely cannot comprehend players who play only to see a victory screen, especially in Warhammer where you don't even get a cutscene for it.
>>550951280i like to try and do the most stupid alliances. similar to the guy posting his golden order total traitor campaign this week. gotta love this silly nonsense
>>550951280I find that I start out with goals in mind but I never have the motivation to complete them by the time I've maxed out everything. Like I'm playing Sayl now, turn 108. Long campaign achieved, 500K gold in the bank. I wanted to wipe out orcs and Skaven near me, but doing so is now just going to be a series of auto resolves. I'll just steamroll them. I know the outcome and achieving it will be monotonous, so I just won't bother. On to the next campaign instead.
>>550949718>wolfcastle_that'sthejoke.jpg
>>550950382I rarely play until Long Victory. Why would I? "Take tons of settlements and I say you win" seems like such a vapid condition to work towards. No cutscenes, cinematics, not even a lore blurb. It doesnt matter if I go this way or that way, just take settlements, we copypasted this goal to every faction. AI has been powerless to stop me for 50 turns. To spend hours and hours more grinding just to get "you win :) thanks for wasting your time, you can go now" feels stupid.
Also, is the AI in TWW3 more retarded than in 2? I feel like it is. How hard can it possibly be to code the AI not to send one unit at a time into your lines to get chewed up and spat out. It just a line to the meat grinder. Sucks the fun out of battles
>>550951745That's fair. I guess for me the incentive at that point is the battles, messing around with all the different units. Skaven are another story though, I've had to abandon a few campaigns early because I didn't want to deal with Clan Mors.
>>550944586I cant wait for Warhammer-tier diplomacy. >Play Space Marines, clear my starting area of Orks>Archaon starts spamming friend invites because he has aversion to Orks
>settlement upgrade buildings never make the money invested backI don't get the idea, I know economy buildings are how you make money but shouldn't capitals at least be profitable? more population means more taxes?

>>550952265Their missile units and artillery become redundant with dread maws. Just move them underneath, explode, teleport and explode, hide again, repeat until they're wiped out. They are OP as fuck, especially for a tier 3 unit. 7K HP, really good against infantry, long range missiles, fast, teleporting, AOE explosions, instant hide underground at the first sign of trouble. Unreal how good they are
>>550952732>*clicks*>SPEAR CHUCKERS!
Looks like if you confed dechala the daemonic influences get permanently applied to whatever unit she had them on. Could be decent if you're lucky but mine also has them on chaos furies that are still mediocre at best.

DD needs to make some lords immortal. I've played a fair bit into my campaign now and both Denetor and Sauron are dead.
>>550957824Its not about being elite or not, it's about intelligently designing the factions so that they do what they're supposed to. The game feel is terribly off when dwarves and men for some reason have enough juice in the tank to continuously expand and grow in a setting where they're explicitly trying to hold on to past glory while steadily but slowly losing their place in the face of rising evil
Sometimes I wish other games were as demanding as TWW3. I don't really feel like playing it right now but it's the only game that keeps me warm during the Scandinavian winter
>>550957087They never cancelled it that was a leak which are unreliable at best. If they're doing it anyways it's more likely they just shifted around the dev order to bring more cash in since endtimes will sell better than any lord pack would have.

which one of you is taht. lmao
>>550939931Morder is strong. They have a passive 25% discount to upkeep so you just field more shitstacks than anyone else and drown the world in orks. AI Mordor usually dominates and remains strength rank 1 all game but their AI bugs out after killing Minas Tirith and their stacks will just kinda clump up and wander the borders of Gondor instead of killing them.Dale is overpowered right now and AI Dale will shit on every other evil faction and wash over the whole map killing everyone but Mordor, but also preventing other good factions from expanding.AI Rohan beats AI Isengard 200% of the time and I suspect it's because the AI cheats negate Rohan's faction mechanics so they just start printing armies from the word go.Campaign is fun but needs a lot of work. I'd wait for a 1.1 and see how much progress the modders make with it.

>>550963230once you decide to hold yvresse you immediately recruit archers and take the province you can also recruit another lord at yvresse to global recruit, etharion can do whatever but you dont need to necessarily take territory, something you can do is build barracks and sell them to everyone in the area and they are all your enemies anyway so you can just take them back later, if there is a treasure wreck in that river he starts in you can roll the dice and try to get it after recruiting a bit. you are typically going for southern yvresse by turn five

HOLY SHIT LEGEND JUST WENT ALL OUThttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5kuHp4u3wm0&pp=ygUTbGVnZW5kIG9mIHRvdGFsIHdhcg%3D%3D
>>550966704the dlcs flopped. playercount is low.
>>550967195its free damage you whiny BABYFREE
>>550967195Anon has run into his first battle against Sayl's powercreep
>>550967298I don't care.
>>550966604Well if that was your army idk really how you lost Pick a better spot and expand your formation more Checkerboard where the guys furthest back solely defend the guys in front etc But a few polearms to "put out fires" from dragons etc landing in your shit is always good practice
>>550943479bulls have really high damage for a 24 figure unit, you get whatever +attack bonuses you can and kill fast to take less damage. never use bulls if you can recruit dual weapon bulls instead and never use those if you can use ironguts instead
>>550967437>Well if that was your army idk really how you lostThe hydra and charybdi just rout like 15 seconds into the fight because they aren't immune to fear
I just recruit fire bellies and lead belchers
How much of a rework are we realistically expecting the Vampire Counts to get? It's the first real content they'll be getting in like a decade and the first time they'll have any meaningful update at all besides random unit additions in SEVEN fucking years since the Aye-aye patch that added bloodlines. I know what I'm hopeful for way more than I can ever hope for from CA, but I have no real idea what CA might actually be planning for them. Reworking Raise Dead? Actual faction mechanics? Praying to whatever gods will listen for a race wide texture update at the barest possible minimum.
I just dont play ogresI exterminate them instead
>>550966704Pretty sure the latest patch made more of the faction AI passive again.
>>550967539Unironically VCs are perfectly fine faction to play as. The just need more LL variety
>>550967320>playercount is low.>its literally n31 out of 100huh?
I want a potential Dogs of War dlc to flesh out the Southern Realms like they did for Kislev and Cathay, but less gay.Give Estalia, Tilea, and the Border Princes more distinct cultures.
>>550966696Guardsquire
>>550940421Actually, in the books both sides are of roughly equal strength. The plot happens because the balance of power is about to shift in favour of the side of evil, since it's been rebuilding for decades and centuries, while the side of good mostly hasn't or has fucked off. For all his might and magic, Saruman failed completely to actually take Rohan by force when pressed, and was left severely weakened. Meanwhile, the siege of Minas Tirith also failed completely, where unlike the movie, Gondor held out pretty much on its own and not a single orc made it into the city. Ironically it's the movies that made the side of good look too weak compared to the books.
>>550966696DEADsqvire
>>550956612it’s the legendary wegh
>>550968274nice. that's new to me
>>550967891Idk their early game sucks assIt's just throwing the same 3 units at the enemy until you can tech up to building an actually fun army
>>550967539Since Neferate is free content, there's a small chance we might get at least one more DLC for Zacharias.>>550968217Three lords, one for each nation2-3 units based on each culture and the rest of the roster are mercenaries (I really want light Arab infantry with explosive/corrosive potions ability)
>>550968539None of the VC units are good though, and you get the best ones at T1 and T2, because they are cheap as shit and take the fire for your actual core of the army, your heroes. The main issue with VC is that they used to be the premier hero spam faction, but now every second faction does it better than them while also being able to fall back on stronger units all around.
>>550967891>One of the smallest rosters in the game>Raise Dead completely broken and stupid>Not a single mechanic among 5 LLsThey were my first faction I played and they play virtually the same as they did in WH1. The bloodlines mechanic is dogshit.
by ze lady what a clusterfuck
>>550969160>low unit countsOof
>>550969463Tabletop accurate
>>550967370Not that anon, but I find myself fighting Sayl like he was napoleon. That is I dont fight him. His chosen-statted Marauders and multiple map-wide spells that kill multiple units at once mean no matter what I build I'll be fighting a losing trade. To go around him so he spends ~5 turns sacking, raiding, razing, raiding, waiting (usually) means I can take more settlements he can and after he's running low all my armies converge on him to autoresolve. Powercreep sure makes for engaging gameplay.
>>550969463I've done all my other campaigns on ultra. I'm trying something new for a different experience.
>>550968821I think 4, one for each "theater">Borgio the Beseiger in Tilea>Marco Columbo in Lustria>Lorenzo Lupo in the Far East (Lost Legion got really lost)>Grudgebringer in the Southlands.
>>550968821There's certainly plenty of units that can be added in a full VC DLC even if we discount the ones likely to come with Nagash. Knockers (WFRPG 2nd), Patchwork Men (WFRPG 2nd), Corpse Giants, Wickerman (WFRPG 2nd), Living Deadwood (Storm of Magic), Necrofex that aren't built out of ship parts, all of Kemmler's unique units from his army list. And bloodline-specific vampire heroes.
>>550969591Tabletop was never meant to represent the true size of unit regiments. Otherwise the game would be even more ridiculous in scope and inaccessible to all but the wealthiest of autists. Ultra is the proper size.
>>550949243They released like 5 patches saying they fixed it but they literally didn’t fix itNow they’re moving on like they fixed it
>>550969643I find the AR button the best way to fight Sayl
>>550970110>the true size of unit regimentsOk and that's true for Total Warhammer as well? Unless you think 120 state troopers is a real regiment number.
>>550970217It's somewhat fixed as in ai is not camping its cities permanently because some random agent is close. It can wake up and so stuff again after a turn or a few. Still too cowardly though, even after all the changes.
>try to get into TWW3 because I really love everything about it>campaign stuff and all its info gets me so confused that I feel lazy and turned offman im such a retardand i even wanna put like 300 hours on this game because it's sick as fug
>>550971153you could just watch a streamer or YouTuber an copy them
>>550971153just play beastmen
>>550971153better complain some more on /v/
>>550971153pick taurox, it plays itself
>>550971302i dont like to complain m8
>>550969673Tilea is full, bro. And neither Ikit nor Aranessa can really be moved.>t-they'll make it largerModders confirmed that the map doesn't work that way. They can fill in the already empty portions, but changing the shape of the land masses is really difficult.
>>550968328Minas Morgul, osgiliath etc were still stolen from Gondor. There's still this massive evil force pressing down everywhere, clearly having the advantage and the initiative. Evil is clearly being innovative as well. Industrially and ideologically. Swaying the hearts of men everywhere. This needs to be depicted in game. To be able to tell the correct type of story through emergent gameplay you need to struggle appropriately with the correct issue.
>>550970110GW could simply charge less for paint and plastic these things arent fucking handcrafted
>>550971719and make less money? are you insane?
>>550971276honestly I thought about it but it'd be like cheatingi just need to learn the campaign stuff, but i know for sure that im just gonna fuck up and have to restart from zero>>550971279>>550971452i might, but there should be some factions that are super noob friendlyi know there's cathay and high elves but they're super boring mode
>>550971719>GW could simply charge less for paint that doesn't work for me brother, we either charge more or don't fiddle with pricest. james workshop
GATE BUG STILL ISNT FUCKING FIXED?WHAT HAVE THESE USELESS FUCKS BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 2 FUCKING YEARS THEY ONLY JUST STARTED MAKING NEW GAMESTHEYVE BARELY MANAGED TO PUSH OUT A POWERCREEPED BOTTOM EFFORT DLCWHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE THESE RETARDS FUCKING DOING
>>550972140they even added more bugs. One anon says that elspeth can’t build her landmark anymore
>>550972140Anon, please...
>>550971567Im surprised they didnt make the mod for Warhammer 3 since ot probably lays down good foundations with faction mechanics (Slaanesh/Sayl/Tzeentch mechanics for Mordor)
>>550972003dwarfs are friendly, just sit in a corner and buff shit, skaven are super easy once you get the ranged stuff in but the start might be iffy, stay away from empire though, they are a bit weaker than the rest in melee and require spells and firepower>but i know for sure that im just gonna fuck up and have to restart from zerothis is how you learn, its time for you to fuck up shit
Melee skaven are fun but Tretch really needs a complete rework.>>550971153Try Markus Wulfhart. He is very straightforward, fun, and you always have clear goals. Volkmar and Gelt are also good options. The Empire is the most suitable faction for a new player, but now the Empire's core lands are just fucked, so I really don't recommend playing as Franz. It was always annoying to stop the Empire from collapsing, but now you have a lot of legendary lords spawning there.
>>550972003Beastmen are pretty noob friendly, just fight the battle manually because their autoresolve suck.
>>550972403>Marcus as his first lord that’s hilarious. You’re hilarious. I concur that would be funny
legendsisters….im not feeling so good
>>550972561nta yeah idk what that guy is on about, I had thousands of hours in the games before I picked wulfhart in wh2 and I still have vietnam flashbacks from his jungle adventures
>you can marry cute Asian ladies in Three kingdomsWhy did nobody tell me? That makes the game instantly better than warhammer..
yellow fever hell of a retardation..
>>550972393the combat is not an issue at all, in fact, i do pretty alright on normal-normal, and i understand most of it (and it's a lot of fun)only issue is campaign with all of its content, what you have to decide on, what to keep in mind, all of its info that's everywhere, etc.that's why i didn't even try Hearts of Iron IV, even though i really like the game>this is how you learn, its time for you to fuck up shittrue...>>550972403>Markus Wulfhartthis LL looks a bit weak, at least from judging the book by its covernot sure if it's a good recommendation...
What are the best mods? I've been playing vanilla for years and I feel like it's time. I'm not looking to completely overhaul the game or change ogres into Shrek or anything. I just want mods that improve the experience
>>550973289VCO
>>550973360this, the camera mod and fusion wizard
>>550973360>Reworks Skink LLs>Skips Saurus LLsI know what he is..
>>550973289The Old World is good but the loading time is pretty long.
>>550972992campaign gets pretty straight forward once you play through them a few times, just pick whatever faction you like and go for it>HOI IVthat shit is too autistic for me, I could spend the time to learn it, but I just don't find fun in fiddling knobs all day, and there is no real combat to distract me from the tedium
>>550972775>you'll obviously come back, since no one cares about you shilling Paraslop>SOURCE??? SOURCE???Is this the Ashkenazim verbal IQ I keep hearing about?
>>550972561The restriction on hiring units is a problem for veterans but for players who have no idea what is good or bad it is a good reason to try out different units. Unique heroes are also quite good. It was the first campaign I actually finished and it was quite fun and not difficult at all.>>550972809What's the problem? It was a bit tedious but only because it was back in TWW2 with its constant sieges.>>550972992>this LL looks a bit weak, at least from judging the book by its coverHe gets four fairly powerful unique heroes and free units are given out quite often.
>>550973289All of these are subtle type mods:Extreme Smoke & FlashCataph's Shield Block IconsFaction Unit Cards IIIJust Post Battle Damage (Gold)Sentient Bloodletters Voice PackDaemon Corpses StayLegendary LoreReloading AnimationsAI Skill Selection TweaksPick any unit for Lord for battle testing
>>550973914>What's the problem? his campaign was a bit fucked at the release of the dlc back in wh2 days, got patched I think, but Im sure now he is smoother in wh3, haven't played him recently.
>>550972992At the campaign level there are two types of factions: hordes and everyone else. Horde factions are defined by the fact they (mostly) don't hold territory themselves, which means 1. They tend to have less shit to manage and 2. They don't have to worry about enemy armies creeping up their ass and losing a bunch of settlements which turns into a death spiral, which is the number one way of losing a campaign. Your armies function as your settlements which means they are always well defended and easy to move out of trouble.Nakai (lizardman DLC) is very easy because you pass off all settlements to an NPC faction to manage so you roam around bonking things.Beastmen are also very easy because all their armies can stealth pretty much all the time, which the AI is dogshit at dealing with. You have to build temporary settlements called herdstones which you defend for a few turns but then you don't have to worry about them.Both are hard hitting melee factions, all you have to learn is how to flank.
>>550972775damn, he felt that one lmao
>>550973289the weather overhaul mod for battle maps is a must, maybe the expanded RoR one, there is also a community patch, and one that fixes the textures of old WH1 units
>Trying to deal with Festus as the empire>he has rushed the fuck out of lightning strike AND ambush protection>he has 40% ranged resist somehowI fucking hate this. Nurgle army is already insanely tough for Empire to deal with, but as long as Festus is there its a no go.
>did Secret Santa with friends>friend gifted me EU VBased, now I can follow Legends guides, later, fuckers
just woke up brosis it total war time
I don't know what I'm looking at but I'm sure my peripheral vision is experiencing something truly epic.
>>550972775It really sounds like he's planning to come back by 40k lol>>550971153Try Tyrion or Thorgrim, but also play the tutorial first.
>you know maybe i will try the marcus campaign>find out about the hostility mechanicnah fuck that, this is just not fun holy shit now i understand why people hate it
I plan on doing a markus campaign after I’m done with drazhoath. however, I’ve never played norsca so I might buy the new lord and play that instead
>>550970523Do you really think a realistic military force is fielding regiments of 20-something men? No, it would closer to 100 or more.
>>550973289Old WorldTileaArabyMixuSFOLegendary LoreCamera-If your computer is shit just get Legendary Lore & a camera mod
best faction to blob? i want to right click enemy and kill
>>550975114The nice thing about Markus' campaign is you get high tier units early when they feel more impactful, but you can't make more, so you have to make them count.He would be better without the forced lizardmen rivalry though.
>>550975570khorne greens beastcock
>>550975535Legendary Lords & Heroes I think it's called? Adds about 100 lords and heroes
>>550975570I MUST FULFILL MY SLAYER OATH
>>550972140Gate bug is literally never going to be fixed. The new engine is coming and there's no reason for them to bother trying to untangle the bullshit pasta that is their code.What's the over/under on if there's a similar gate bug in the new engine?
marcus (and also vcoast) are way better campaigns in wh2
>>550975114Is it even work these days? He basically has no lizards spawning near him in IE
a roman cohort is 480 men, comprised of 6 80-man centuries. I remember playing R1 and being disappointed that the units weren’t closer to 500 men each, I always thought that’s the direction total war would go. I mean, it’s the big battle series so I thought the battles would get bigger and bigger…they’re getting smaller. Their 2025 flagship title is the smallest unit sizes yet, even smaller than Warhammer. I am the disappointment
>>550975570
>>550975468The difference between subtracting 120 from 1200 and subtracting 20 from 1200 is only 100 which is 100/1200 less than 10% of an error correction with respect to reality.
Legend won
>>550975630>He would be better without the forced lizardmen rivalry though.mooom they're putting WAR in my total WAR: WARhammer again

>>550975923Did you asked sorry?
>>550976272yeah if 40K was realistic every war would be either each side sitting on trenches all day while occasionally blowing each other up with drones or one side blitzkrieging the other because they don't really feel like fighting and are just surrendering immediately

Legend's content has gone downhill a lot in the recent past in my opinion.His videos were always a bit too old fashioned, unscripted and low production value for my tastes. Despite that, I always appreciated that he tried to add a nuanced and level-headed voice to the tribalistic shit flinging between TW fans.Lately though it seems like he's becoming more griftercore, taking a hardline anti-CA stance because that's what's popular, and churning out extra low effort videos with 45+ minute runtimes for things that could barely justify 5 minutes of discussion./blog
>>550972821I wish there was a 3k style diplomacy mod for WH3I want to do a legit Slaaneshi harem run
>>550976991>Latelyi recently watched an 8 hours sniktch stream from 3 years ago. that was right after he got consensually booted from the partner program. he was already very anti-ca back then and his stance didn't get any worse
>>550975570Taurox
Legend of Total War said Grail Reliquae were bad, so he's the one who is bad because Grail Reliquae are awesome.
Any hope that 40k will be as complex and interesting as three kingdoms?
legend said that there are no bad units to recruit as tzeentch but I think it’s pretty clear that the marauders (anti-large) are the best choice and make regular marauders pointless.
>>550974545>He dosent knowKek your run will crash out quickly
Is steal technology spam necessary for D.Elves? Also what to prioritize? Just rush for Shades range? Or is + Growth/Control also good?
>send in replay to Legend>tell him to win without using lightning strike (I don’t take it because I like big battkes)>he tells me to fuck off because of itHappened in 2020. Knew he was a retard from that point onward.

>>550977571>>550978012Hes a single player expert. Units that are useless/redundant on campaigns could be good on MP and vice versa
>>550976991I'm pretty sure you copy pasted this from Reddit, but it's still correct. This happens to all "content creators" that are popular within a certain niche, but not popular enough to escape it. They all get the idea that they helped build the game and that the devs owe them for it, just because they've played it for a long time.
>>550978326>Youtuber settle rules about content sent by users>One retard break these rules>"WTF why he told me to fuck off?!?"You asked for it

>>550978248you need every bit of control you can get, >>550978348I am referring to single player. Tzeentch has the choice between two tier 0 marauders and one of them has higher melee defense and anti-large and is the clear choice between them

>>550976272Some dude had a sword and a longbow on the beaches of normandy.
>>550978326perhaps he knew he couldn’t win the battle and that was the excuse. I expect he gets sent in files that he can’t beat and then just silently moves on.

>>550979434That was "Mad" Jack Churchill, legendary hero for the brits in ww2. He also did get a confirmed kill with his longbow during an ambush iirc
I thought legend was a paradox YouTuber now?Why is he still playing Total War?

>>550979640Indian loves Legend saar
>>550979725the fact that there’s a photo of this guy “storming a beach” makes it look like a staged propaganda shot. Was the cameraman really charging the beaches like some kind of found-footage horror protag?
>>550979603if you brought a caster with the lore of slaanesh you could beat him easy
>>550979931Yeah if only missile units were normally recruitable at all before t4. It's a shitstack I don't need anyways
What do you usually prioritize between army buff line and lord combat line?
>>550973809>campaign gets pretty straight forward once you play through them a few times, just pick whatever faction you like and go for itYeah, I'll do this and roll with the punches. I might install VCO or something to get a better goal line instead of the super boring "take over everything" from vanilla.>>550974136Sweet. The factions I'm mostly interested in are in da pic.
>>550979725>dude kills someone fighting against the international banking cartel with a bow>”hero”We live in a society
>>550979603>Grimgor alone with a tattered enemyKeep us posted, I want to see how badly your ass is reamed
>>550980223vco makes the game a dozen times more fun imo, victory conditions like that should be baseline for all tw games
>>550980124I believe that picture in particular was during the 3rd wave of something so the cameraman was already established (and well back from the German entrenchments)One of the saddest things about D-Day is that there actually was a cameraman who embedded himself in the first wave and made it ashore to begin taking pics (and maybe also vids) but nearly all of his footage was destroyed by the mud.
>>550980489...I say this as both a history student and a photographer, some guy losing his footage was definitely not one of the saddest things that happened there.
>>550980231I meant legendary hero in the total war sense, like he had a bigger hp pool and could level up and put points in factionwide bonuses/spells etc.
>>550980124Not every beach was some Tom Hanks hellzone
>>550980124Brits and Canadians got the easy beaches that were pretty easily takenAmericans got the heavily dug in ones

>I can't swim!
>>550981198nobody can swim with armor on, it’s a death sentence
It's so clear different people balance factions.>Dechala gets lots of her resources>Aislinn is always going to be starved of either Elven Trade or Gold for the first 30 turns, and even 50 turns in he will never have enough Elven Trade>Dechala can turn every province capital into a palace that is basically stronger than an Aislinn Elven colony>Dechala can get +hero caps out of the ass so every palace supports 3 heroes each>Aislinn can't even boost every single hero cap in a colony>Dechala gets factionwide boosts to random shit out of the ass everywhere>Aislinn gets jackshitDechala is overpowered as fuck while Aislinn got the Gorbad treatment. It's pretty jarring, but I think I prefer the underpowered faction in quite a few ways actually
>it's another episode of Ze Germans Should Have Wonget over yourself, you wouldn't be born if WW2 didn't happen exactly as history officially records it, holocaust includedthe purpose of your fucking useless goy cattle lives is specifically to produce more empty brains which can be filled with propaganda you pathetic little non jews AHAHAHAHAHAH LOL LMAO
I wonder if they paid the guys going over the top of the ladders first more money than the others
It always surprises me how incredible Volkmar makes free companies. They beat chaos knights in melee and in chev formation about anything that is not unreasonably resistant to damage.
>>550981376I will gladly choose to not exist in return of a prosperous Europa for white people and a bright future for white childrens
in warhammer is it better to defend in a settlement or set camp just outside? do you get any bonuses aside from the garrison?
>>550981551And when you get his book that gives everybody +8 ma and md he has the strongest infantry out of all the empire factions, also that buffs allied recruited units too so you're not missing out on their race specific red buffs
>>550981634If it has walls yesWalls get a massive auto resolution bonus
>>550981376>if this tragedy didn’t happen you would not exist>so be grateful little goy?
>>550981634If you are in a settlement then losing wipes that army out regardless of who got awayHowever fighting right outside a settlement will likely get you dragged into it, either because they attacked the settlement directly or because your retreat leaves you still in range of the settlementThere are occasional times where a weak force should abandon a tier 1 settlement to recruit in a stronger region then just come back for it later
>>550981634if you think you won’t be able to hold the settlement against an incoming stack, then you might want to stand outside the city so you can retreat when they attack. You’ll lose the city but the stack might get away. Otherwise like the other anon said, walls give an autoresolve bonus, which may deter the attack. It’s a gamble
>>550981496First in usually got compensated in some fashion if they lived.
You guys need to stop being so antisemetic and anti-Indian.Legend is spiritually jewish, and most of his audience are Indian.This is borderline harassment Be better
>>550981634better replenishment. but if your going to get attacked over the turn, then try something else.
>>550980827>Americans got the heavily dug in onesThey were half empty and the few soldiers who were in them were only partially fit for duty. It is interesting how all propaganda omits the fact that the main success of Operation Overlord was that they landed just as German troops were moving from west to east. If the allies had decided to attack a little earlier they would have encountered nearly five million soldiers instead of less than a million

My friends want to do run where we're all grouped together but they also wanted to be Skaven - won't I get fucked by their disgusting rat piss corruption?
>>550982193As long as they own full provinces seperate to yours it's fine, skaven corruption doesn't cause attrition like undead or chaos
warhammer 3 would be better if it was more high magic.

One day closer to 40k Total war
>>550983452hell yeah
>>550983203Fat fucking chance.
>>550979603
>>550983452I wonder if it will have references to other 40k games. Like the tavern from Vermintide. It would be cool to hire Titus or Rogue Trader von Valancius and his entourage.
>>550983452can't wait
>>550983930>a Rogue Trader LLmight be cool
>>550983704>He doesn't know
>>550982014>you might want to stand outside the city so you can retreat when they attackYou have to manually retreat your forces during a battle if they attack the town though so at that point you should just win the battle instead.

>>550984135looking at this, 40K is gonna be fucking crazy cool
>>550984154You don't know, and you've fallen for jew lies.

>>550984135Man I really hope CA isn't on as tight a leash design-wise as I expect them to be for 40k. Otherwise there's gonna be some real shit looking models in the game. Pretty much all of the Blood Angels-specific units, but also the Dreadknight, the go kart, the Invictor Warsuit, and the Desolation squad.
>>550984135>Light green: Confirmed>Dark green: Pretty much guaranteed>Purple: Maybe?>Dark blue: Never everAm I reading the colors right?
>>550984135You won't even have half that.This game might be the most broken TW in the history of all TW
>>550985961anything is possible if the money continues to flow
>>550985818
Are there any factions like Vampire Coast or Cathay that haven't CA could surprise everybody with by creating in 40k?
so when are the legacy updates gonna come out for past total war games they need to give me more shit in 3k for what they did to it
>>550986274Dark MechanicumTraitor GuardEldar ExoditesImperial/Chaos Knights in the sense that they don't currently have enough model variety to justify being anything more than units for other factionsMaybe Imperial Agents as something similar to Aislinn.
I have zero hope for total war 40k and I will not be invested in a franchise that wont be finished until im in my early 40s.
>>550986618>Dark Mechanicum>Traitor GuardI will be a card carrying member of the hope squad for these factions

>>550981997>>550982014>>550982040I give up skaven keep sending doomstacks of higher tier units. even 4 to 1 i cannot kill the units i give up
>>550987159I swear they upped the amount of enemy stacks this patch on VH
>>550983452my dog, me, my (b)gf from left to right
>>550987346I dont know but my problem now is that skaven units are stronger than my lizards. They take too long to die so iget blasted with the poison cannons and just lose.
i wanna start a new campaign but i wanna finish my campaign aaaaaaaaa
>by the time the final faction for TW 40k comes out, a huge chunk of us will have no jobs from AI and be begging for UBI scrapsNext 10 years are gonna be wack if this bubble doesn’t pop and delay it for another 20.I’m scared and upset
>>550981634depending on your encamp stance you may get substantial leadership or unit stat bonuses that could push an autoresolve into a victory

I feel like Dechala is literally the only character who actually represents the stated Slaanesh trait of "They're supposed to look beautiful and fucked up at the same time"
>only one Tzeentch LLhow's it?
KILL FOR KHORNE!KILL FOR KHORNE!KILL FOR KHORNE!
>>550989218Tzeentch lacks interesting special characters
>>550989509Tzeench lacks interesting anything
>>550989218if you think about it, since the changeling can be any LL, that means that they have ALL of the LLs
This might be my best Arbaal start ever.By turn 6 I had already killed my starting enemy, done a challenge of Khorne to defeat Tzar Boris and vassalised the Khorne faction to my north. I then challenged Kholek and defeated him before jumping to Lustria to defeat Rakarth and I'm currently trying to confed Skulltaker. Should I challenge him first for the defeat trait? I'm thinking that making him weaker will also make confederating him easier
i wish dechala raped me
>>550988869They could have made every slanny character like this if they didn't make all the demons trannies.
Same guy btw >>550988869 >>550989845
I feel like going against the minor Greenskin faction as Ungrim is a beginners teap on VH+. Should I instead focus on killing Azag before he gets 3 stacks?
Can someone give me the QRD on Norsca and what makes it worth to play them over WoC?
>greater daemon ll>lesser daemon ll>mortal llWhen is Tzeentch getting his mortal ll?
>>550990059fimir are cool
>>550990059Better monsters and no demonsRegular recruitment instead of mass recruiting low tier units and having to train them upMostly regular settling instead of only getting dark fortresses and vassalsNo having to deal with vassals
>>550990059They play like a regular faction with settlements and buildings while being able to recruit base chaos warriors/chosen. They have some really cool units like Fimir, Werewolves, Mammoths etc.I hope someone will mod Fimir or Werewolves in as a faction.
What's the best historical TW game in the current year? And not because of nostalgia

>>550990563>>550990531>>550990279Thanks, trying to choose between Dechala, Syl and Arbaal for my next campaign
>>550990531>DemonSayl is able to get Greater Demon LLs or Greater Demons via Manipulations.>>550990838Sayl is pretty fun but the start can be rough with Chorfs and Grimgor.
>>550990059>no Archaon>no Azazel >no Vilitch>no Be'lakorNorsca ain't worth it
>>550990676Pharaoh Dynasties
>>550990676Either Rome 2 (with DeI) or Shogun 2.I base that primarily on controls (camera in previous titles is fucking awful), scale of battles (40 unit armies that you could fully control only came in Shogun 2 IIRC). As well general polish in Shogun 2s case, and general variety in Rome 2s case, where antiquity is pretty much unmatched in historical titles, at least before Rome blobbed everywhere.
>>550990676Comes down to which setting captures your imagination the most (but its Shogun 2)
>>550991696I guess Attila should also be mentioned for its fire mechanics, city destruction and so on, but it is not really intended as a typical empire building total war, though you can play it that way since Total War AI is retarded. But its meant to be more about surviving the Huns and climate change.
>>550990676China one
Sayl not getting Scyla really fucks with my tism. I like having themed armies and Scyla buffs skin wolves, one of the best norscan units. Bummer. How's Wulfrik? Throgg is braindead.
Do I get less EXP by not auto resolving?
>>550992771He won't get him unfortunately, GW said no. We already spoke about it in previous threads
>>550992976Why?
>autoresolve shows you would lose multiple units>play it out yourself>everything starts crumbling down>leave fast forward on while alt tabbed>win the fight without any units annihilatedFleeing and being able to fully replenish your 1/120 units for free has to be one of the most broken things in the game
what's a good total war game for someone that wants to branch out from warhammer 3?
>>550993060You mean why doesn't an extremely favoured chaos spawn of Khorne who hates sorcerers, magic and treachery want to follow the most treacherous sorcerer available?

>>550991597I played a legendary ironman campaign and my stack got attacked by two stacks while in force march so I just quit the campaign and haven’t played pharaoh since. I couldn’t believe how much movement range they had straight over a desert.Also I noticed they had like 6 stacks, one I saw was entirely tier IV units when I was barely managing a tier II/III stack with one other crapstack. Chariot micro is just not enough to overcome the overwhelming number of armies the AI sends on legendary. With proper cavalry you can make things happen, but chariots just aren’t that decisive so there’s not much you can do if the enemy just has more and better quality troops, which they will on legendary after 30ish turns I keep wanting to come back and try another campaign but idk who to play as. I really liked taurset and I’m bummed that the campaign ended like that. I always put it on the highest difficulty settings but with pharaoh I’m not sure I can keep up with the cheats in late game. I suspect a lot of anons that had a better time with the game did it on lower difficulties. Idk maybe if i didn’t get attacked with two stacks while in force march, i might have managed to win the war, but honestly it looked impossible with how many tier IV units they had

Just wondering, as you get two playable lords from the get-go on TWW3, do you always just merge them together? Are single lords that wander/scout around, in danger from roaming dudes with 40 troop unit lineups or are they unattackable and only can be attacked via Assassination?
>>550992771Wulfric is a better Lokhir (as in Pirate) thanks to the Seafang allowing you to teleport to every port on the map and sacking them for big dollars.
>>550994123I think you're confusing heroes and lords.Only lords can lead armies, and there can only be one lord in an army.Heroes can either help armies or walk around the map alone, and then the only way for them to die is through assassination.
>>550993084Makes me think of Starsector, recovering ship health costs supplies so sometimes you would pause recovery and limp it back home instead
You think the pirate factions in TWW have arguments about teleporting the way /vg/tards have arguments about animation canceling?
>>550994420Ohh.Gotcha, thank you.
What if there was a sky chaos faction?
>>550990059literally just monsters, their personality isn't distinct enough from woc
>>550990676Imho Attila
>>550990676MED2
My Hydra keep routing because their leadership blows
>>550990676Rome 1Med 2Shogun 2AttilaDon't make me choose, they all have strengths and weaknesses.
thinking of Nurgle, ladswhat's a good LL for a newfag
>>550994220I don’t think anyone is richer than Lokhir. With stacked black arks you can get 20-30k battle loot per battle and anywhere from 50-130k loot from sacking a single city. Also there’s a dictat that gives 500 per black ark you own, and you can do it in every province, every turn. I was making around 40-50k per turn just from selling slaves by the end of the campaign I haven’t actually played wulfric tho, is he really richer than that?
>>550984135>Chaos factions aren't next to their loyalist counterparts>Nids and Genestealers aren't next to each other>Fuckin Daemons of Chaos on top>"Traitor Guard" instead of Lost and the Damned>"Space Marines" instead of their pseudo Latin version while all other Imperial factions use notLatin names ree
>>550995481Festus, PhD.
>>550995481Tamurkhan is hilariously fun and brokenThe stinky steamroller
>>550984135this list is gay bcause theres no chance imperial or chaos knights get their own faction, grey knights and adeptus custodes might at BEST be one race with different skins, but I'm betting they're just going to be in space marines tooI think whats gonna happen is you get a race and each LL pick will essentially be a sub-race to that main race, with some differences and their own unique little special unit
>>550994123heroes are safe from armies if they're roaming as agents.>should I stack them all into my lord's armyI generally do for the first ~25 turns or so. Level up your starting hero to 20 so they unlock immortality, then throw them into a new lord's army, and recruit a fresh hero into your main LL's stack. ideally your main LL never dies/loses the army, so non-immortal heroes are safest with them, while your stronger heroes can go help your generic lords while they're new and weak. I'd try to get at least one of each type of hero generally, and events sometimes pop up which recruit them for free so you don't need to rush recruiting them though. Once you get to a certain strength though you don't want to just stack all heroes (and especially regiments of renown) into a single army, it's way overkill and weakens all other armies to just have one megastrong army that can't be everywhere at once. on the topic of regiments of renown, it's better to save them and only recruit them in case of emergencies. once disbanded or destroyed they're on a 10 turn cooldown.
>>550995481if you really want to learn the faction's mechanics, kugathif you want to shit on woefully unprepared retards tamurkhan or festus(kinda doesn't count)
About to play Dawnless Days bros. How's the Gondor experience? Figure I play as them since I heard Rohan is pretty tough
I kept trying to send my hero to my stack and he got wounded by assassins 4 times in a row and never managed to actually reach the stack :(
>>550984135The Space Marines will be treated as one faction with other chapters having their own livery and special units but are still on the Space Marines tab; only the Space Wolves has enough unique units to warrant a single DLC while the others only have 1 or 2 unique units at bestGrey Knights will be separate and include the Inquisition/Ordo Malleus at large; will have Stormtroopermaniii as T1 units with the actual Grey Knights being T4 and T5 unitsDeathwatch won't be a faction, instead they'll be hireable as limited RoR or even similar to how Gotrek and Felix get hired
>>550995728Tarmukhan definitely looks like the one I'd choose yeah. Chonky fat boys, heavily armored, and cool as fuck. Though, >>550996149 mentions about mechanic learning so I might go Kugath instead. Festus might be a bit odd because of mixed units (non-Nurgle) but that might be an overexaggeration from me.I'm aware that Tarmukhan is fucking insane. I saw a video of him just soloing shit up.
>>550995481Festus is strong but his campaign can get a little bogged down (heh) from fighting a ton of Empire/Kislev before getting a bunch of dark fortresses going. Very strong though.Ku'gath and Tamurkhan are very strong (Ku'gath is an artillery piece and a brutal tank, Tamurkhan is your typical gigantic beatstick) but have pretty challenging early fights. Once you get through those they're very strong, Tammy being stronger with the DLC mechanics, but Ku'gath gets ridiculous too once you pick up momentum.Epidemius is torture for the first dozen turns or so, he's really only solid if you're playing without the champions of chaos DLC (which sounds awful)
>training rocket artillery caravan in preparation for greentide badlands>ogres attack it
>level 35 hero>10k incomeI think I'm pretty much done with the tutorial campaign. After getting my level 10 Miao's ass beat by a level 30 Nakai, I've started focusing on having my lords fight as much as possible.Elves have been fun, but>no artillery>no guns
>Buy tomb kings>Have never played them once because every time I've used chariots in other factions they just get stuck in a blob and die so I hate chariots
For the Very Hard Campaign Victory Achievements, can I get them by playing Realms of Chaos?
>>550996670Tomb Kings have the worst roster by far and are tied with Bretonnia for being completely ignored
>>550996613>no artillery>no gunsYou sound like the kind of guy who could use some chaos dwarfs in his life
what happened to tamurkhan after he lost? sent back to the garden or he's technically still mortal even though he got turned into a worm by demon magic, aka perma dead?
>>550996613If you're gonna use coomer mods at least use the GOOD ones
>first campaign>pick nuclear warfare rats>first attempt, the Italians at Magritta wreck my shit>second attempt, the furry reaches it first and turns it into a Chaos shithole>third attempt, the furry wrecks my shit>fourth attempt, use him to take Magritta, then while he's busy off to the north, attack and take his chaos shithole capital>then click the wrong button to take instead of burning it which means I'll have to put down some chaos rebels laterI'm having fun. Autoresolve is really negatively biased against the humble rat though, "Pyrhic Victory"? You don't know what some gatling guns and a few meatshield slaves can do, that's a decisive victory right here.How do I teleport to do this quest again?
>>550996038beautifully put, anon, thanks a ton. I'll add it to my sticky notes.
>>550996670I just rush all the snake knights and snake spitters and ushabti along with a bunch of tomb guard to make the frontline not so shitAny kind of skeletal horse isn't worth it outside of very early on
>>550996613>not even turn 60>tiny little empire >”I think I’m pretty much done classic /twg/ player
>>550996670They did buff chariots around the time pharoh came out, last time I did a TK campaign I used Khalida and got pretty good use out of the chariots. I like the TK but all the skele units in the roaster feel kind of crappy. The constructs are all cool and fun, and the update they did to move the ubshati from T3 to T2 was great for their early game.
What do I prioritize as Dechala?
>>550997070Sex.
>>550995559Wulfric gets classic Chaos sacking economy however I dont know if its larger than Lokhirs.
>>550990137Whenever CA get around to making Egrimm
>>550996670you dont really use chariots with tomb kings unless you are using the two settra starts with
>>550996670The best way to use chariots is build a 20 stack of them and have fun
>>550997070>>550997141Forgot pic
>>550996192From what I heard its a bit too easy, mordor needs a buff
It.. it was close. When will ai learn not to make skaven slavestacks?
Do WoC have the worst mechanic in the game? I feel like they need another one on top of the generic Gifts of Chaos one that every Chaos aligned faction gets besides Norsca.
>>550995940>>550984135Yeah, TW40K will need subfaction system. Subfactions are far more important there than in WHFB and CA tried to force them into TWW anyway. Almost every faction has subfactions in 40k. Ideally Monogod Legions should be just CSM subfactions as well.
>>550997530>Kill count on SnikchHoly kek
>>550996837you can't be in a stance or garrisoned in a settlement if you want to teleport.Auto-resolve is biased against low armor units, which means rats get punished
>>550997368Make sure to grab that recruitment cost reduction!
Did they rework plagues? I was watching a video about plagues and it was completely different to what I have here.
>>550997774So 3 are Chaos Eldar right?
>>550997781that anon is using a cheat that shows damage value instead of kills
