>can't prove that the bolter has high muzzle velocity since no such quote exists in the lore
>can't prove that bolter rounds accelerate to high speeds via a rocket motor since no such thing is ever stated in the lore and any actual numbers like fuel energy density that might prove this don't exist either since the britbong "writers" have no clue what they're talking about

To conclude, the argument that bolters don't work is based on ironclad physics. The counter-"""argument""" that bolters "work" is based on 40kiddie fantasy that is not even supported by their own "lore" lmao

Concession accepted.

>muh science fiction
Good science fiction bothers to explain things or at least specifically say that we just don't know how it works. We KNOW how 40kids bolters "work", which means we know they don't work since they contradict physics. Cope.

Seven weeks have passed since we set sail from Araby. Slaves freed from our skirmishes with Skaven pirate fleets talk of the turmoil in Bretonnia. I suspect their stories are true, but I must see the evidence with my own eyes.

The ocean tides were kind enough to bury the fallen on its shores. However, the smoking ruins of Brionne greeted us with nothing but destruction and a stench of death. With no survivors, only the battlefield could tell me what happened here.

Despite the breath of devastation, the presence of goblins suggests a raiding party. However, the ranks were too well organized. This is the work of Grom the Paunch! Evidently, the prophetesses were prepared, but overrun nevertheless.

These atrocities rend my heart and fuel my anger. Bretonnia's banner must be respected, never disgraced! I think of my beloved people and my crusade in Araby, and how much further this war will carry me from them. But my duty is clear. My homeland must survive. Lyonesse must not fall to its enemies!

Good science fiction, and fantasy, provides enough information for reasonable suspension of belief while understanding that many of its concepts are impossible in reality.

Inability to suspend disbelief or grasp hypotheticals are proven signs of low intelligence btw.

I played Three Kingdoms like half a year ago and I'm getting into Warhammer 3. Can someone tell me how to make each frontline unit attack a different frontline from the enemy? If that's even in the game. I assume it's a simple answer but it was so long ago that I forgot how
>>
Imagine a Total War game with an in-depth economy. Having to manage resources for the procurement of weapons and needing to maintain supply lines for your military campaigns.
>>
>>551079953
It's simple, you win the battle first and then watch it play out. Only the first few minutes of battle really matter. Once you have your rock charging their scissors and your paper covering their rock the outcome is decided and you can just watch it play out.

Are there any good mods for capping stacks and army size? The game is at its most fun for me with like 10 - 12 units per army. Not 4 stacks of 20 cancer

But I know this'll also turn into a daethball of the AI just fielding 12 T5s so I was hoping there might be one that somehow got the balance right

new player here, I don't think it's a meme.
I used it on this situation where there were two bridges on a match against the orcs, and it was surprisingly nice. I penned through greenskin units with Lance Formation on one side to get behind the stronger side (the one with their lord) and eventually won.
Of course it was painful still because greenskins are strong as shit compared to peasants and cavalry.

Suspension of disbelief works when it does not contradicts basic everyday physics unless the writer explicitly jumps out of his skin to explain why it is so. 40kiddieshit does no such thing and pretends its retarded concepts that do not work IRL should work by definition, which shows only one thing: the writers themselves are too stupid to understand the topic they're writing about.
>>
>>551080096
yes and no
it actually makes your cav less mobile because they turn slower, and the charge bonus is almost utterly negligible when it comes to damage

it does help in charging through units though if you want to break through a line

A lot of old lords have a rough start. Well, the start is the same, but now there are way more strong enemies. Now it's practically impossible to take a step without encountering some chaos fucker who will just fuck you up. Imo Reikland campaign is almost impossible now because all minor factions die before you even have time to do anything.

Volkmar's entire campaign is pure CBT, but it's doable if you rush to get the black pyramid for the +8ma/md, and buff volkmar and his army as much as possible so you can keep the cheap trash units he boosts to support multiple armies. At first you want to kill off the vampires, then wurrzag so you have a secure border, then go north. It's a lot of running around but worth it to do early because the lizardmen and dwarfs will hold out for a while without wurrzag there. A little luck is involved though because you have to hope he doesn't steamroll them from turn 1.
After you get a secure start it's just the same badlads fuckery that all the other factions in the area have to deal with.

Which just shows how vile 40kids cultists are. There's barely any of them, they don't buy games (which is why 99% of all 40kids games are flops with the number rising to 100% for games released within the last 15 years), but they sure like to spew endless verbal diarrhea about their dogshit """lore""". This very loud, very obnoxious cultist minority creates an illusion of popularity, but then 40kiddieshit games come out, flop spectacularly and everyone acts surprised since they mistook loud cultist ramblings for the existence of an actual playerbase lmao.

Use the plague priest rite to nuke itza and take it with zero garrison and any general within attrited to almost zero

Should work unless they nerfed the attrition of the rite somehow

Also just get a good settlement to t3, get your plague monks and catapults rolling as soon as you can. Level up your plague priests and use his magic.

Everything about pestilens, what they buff and what they want to do will do short work of the early game. You just might need to play a bit passively and spread plagues to avoid risk at certain points

I play it exclusively now. Anything in Araby has been really fun for me. Get Tilea and Araby submods as well, and those regions will just get filled with new custom factions in handcrafted terrain. It feels like a brand new experience. The only area I haven't played a lot in is the southern Darklands. Check out the cool chaos dwarf easter egg in darkblade's old kiddy pool though.

>>551082183
I believe that instead of being separated into a bajillion factions, all the chaos armies should just be one single faction, but with different alignments and core, like it used to be in the tabletop.

Alignments would be each Chaos god plus Chaos undivided
Army Core would be Daemon, Mortal and Beast.

You only confederate lords or recruit units within your same alignment, (So if Nurgle Mortal you can recruit Pestigors) or within your same core if undivided (So Unaligned Daemon can recruit other daemons but not mortals). Archaon would be the only one who gets access to the entire roster.

Posted the other day about being confused wrt RTW2 naval combat, but after playing around with it for the last day or two it's actually hilarious.
Garrisons will flock to a single thing behind the wall, so landing a sacrifice of a single unit of shit javs allows all your ships sitting on the shore nearby to just pincushion them from total safety.

5% force odds? autoresolve damn near 0%? Nah, for just 60 dudes, take out a garrison of 1500+.

And it's a good thing. Unironically you can wipe out a faction too quickly say Vlad. You can reach all of his settlements 1 turn after another. So if you don't suffer too many losses you can possibly wipe him out in 5 turns if he only has 5 settlements. If you are using just 1 army to do it

This is only partially true. Women bring nothing but suffering and pain. If we didn't need them to reproduce men would be fucking each other instead.

I don’t like the M3 start date, I’m hoping the game is designed to transition into early modern warfare. The best part of M2 was the transition from medieval to early gunpowder. If m3 doesn’t have gunpowder, I’ll be pissed. That’s why I was hoping for the later start date
Gunpowder is always more fun in a setting that isn’t “supposed” to have gunpowder. I want to experience it when it’s still new and clashes with the previous era

You gotta sneak it in without it getting hit. It's a docile skittish creature. Just keep it behind until the ranged unit is occupied with something else. Range units in tww3 take a while to fire so if some archers are shooting your line in one direction have your manticore come in at least a 90 degree angle so the archers have to move and set up.

Or again just target something that can't fight back

Daemon Engines are a chaos space marine and dark mechanicus thing. The latter doesn't really have a roster though. Will probably see them at some point. I will point out that
>they recently introduced a lesser chaos god of technology, akin to Hashut, likely to be the patron of the Dark Mech, so an actual army for them might be on the horizon and they'll definitely use the game to push them
>rumored that Perturabo is returning soon, the primarch of the tech & warpsmith (the ones the shove daemons into machines) centric chaos marine chapter, so that's another chance for more daemon engines to get pushed. Especially if Iron Warriors get turned into another fleshed out standalone legion.

I don’t like how you can’t reinforce a port attack from the sea. If you’ve got black arks or dragonships or whatever, only one of them can attack a port at a time, the others dont join as reinforcements.

Abhumans are a thing. The difference between a vile mutant and a near human is simply recognition by the Inquisition. Navigators are also mutants, but they are literally noble because of their importance. Psykers are also mutants by nature, and although most are killed one way or another, some become quite important like Astropaths.

What technically differentiates abhumans from mutants is whether the mutation is heritable or not.
Navigators are born from the heritable navigator gene.

TWW3 is just a crazy game conceptually. Like, remembering how I played Medieval 2 and Shogun 2, I couldn't even imagine that there would be a game of this scale. We've already accepted this as a given, but the idea of combining three games and a ton of DLCs is just insane.
That's one of the reasons why I can't get excited about Medieval 3 or 40k. Medieval 3 will not have the same level of variety as TWW3 even in the most extreme case, and I highly doubt that they will release Total War 40k 2 or whatever, it will just be DLCs.

Rampage doesn't happen for no reason. It usually occurs when the unit undergoes too much stress like getting shot at or losing a melee fight. If you're in a spot where you are scared of rampage triggering you shouldn't be going for it at all. You go in, get your target to run, and get out.

getting shot happens frequently when you’re using it to harass the back line, and if you’re using it to attack air targets, you’ll likely rampage. It just requires too much babysitting, it’s one of those units where you look away too long and it’s half dead and rampaging

If you actually spent a second reading about the Heresy you would know that the Emperor told his sons that the warp is a separate dimension that manifest human thoughts and warned them that no matter what these projections say they are just creations of minds touching the warp. The Primarchs that fell to chaos did so because they believed the lies of warp manifestation that the Emperor told the lies and the opposite is true.

It will have plenty of variety, just not as much as a fantasy game, but it will offset that with more complexity on the campaign map. 40kTW is going to be "Dawn of War with a better campaign map and no base building", while medieval 3 is going to be "Crusader Kings with total war combat." Either will be successful and for the love of god spare me the boring hisoid fantasoid 40kekoid faggotry, Wh3 took a year to sell what Rome2 almost sold in a fucking single month and 3kingdoms outsold Warhammer 3 as of 2025. Get a new bit for the love of Christ, it's so run into the ground it's redditor tier.

>>551100126
WH2 to 3 changed how they do textures. It's why the kislev mod for WH2 wouldn't get updated. I haven't fucked with them myself but I think the way it works is WH1/2 are old school diffuse-spec-normal texture, while WH3 is the newfangled base colors/normalmap/metallic/roughness(?). I remember 3k was different in the same way.

Why should I change my opinion? I have no doubt that these games will be successful, I just personally can't bring myself to care about them.
I also have serious doubts about the increased complexity of the campaign map. I don't know about you, but what I want from Total War is, first and foremost, real-time battles with a few mechanics to give the factions uniqueness and make your actions more meaningful. Imo adding actual complex mechanics like politics and other crap to the global map will simply destroy everything that makes Total War what it is. After all, it's Total War, not Total Peace.

They get a pretty big boost to morale and can rally one extra time before shattering. I think there are small modifiers to melee and ranged stats but it's much more subtle than other TW games.

>Imo adding actual complex mechanics like politics and other crap to the global map will simply destroy everything that makes Total War what it is. After all, it's Total War, not Total Peace.
This is a misnomer to me, applicable for warhammer total wars but not for historicals. And a simplification/misreading of 'total war'. Total war as a concept is the totality of the state and society being put towards war. It's not just "War and nothing but war". The Napoleonic Wars are often attributed as the first modern total war but Napoleon always sought diplomacy - war is politics by other means and all that. The total wars of World War 2 were the same, it wasn't just war for war's sake.

There should be an option for players like you with shit like the Sherden, Khorne, or some medieval 3 equivalent (say a Catalan mercenary faction that can just endlessly fight and not worry about settlement management), but it should be the side dish rather than the main course.

I understand what you mean in general, but I don't think anything good will come of it. The main distinguishing feature of Total War is its battles and it has always been that way. Old games had the peculiarity of old games when everyone played whatever they could find and didn't have much choice, but now competition is much higher. I just don't believe that CA will make the campaign gameplay interesting enough for it to compete with CK3 and EU5. And this excessive focus on campaign will make real-time gameplay worse and less accessible. Not saying it will be like that, just my concerns.

That's because:

- those shit units are very numerous, which adds to the "bruh I killed so many dudes" feeling

It seems to be something of a race pack that also adds things for the related undead races. How much each race is actually going to get and the full extent of the content is still up for debate until we know more. I'm hoping it's more than just essentially 1/3 of the DLC drops we've been getting. This is likely to be the only content any undead race is going to get for a while, potentially the last bit if rumors that WH3 is winding down are to be believed. They could add quite a bit, covering potentially a full Counts and Tomb Kings DLC with added units and such. But I unfortunately doubt that to be the case.

I was 11 when Shogun 1 came out, and played it at 12, loved it though I never conquered Japan (got about halfway) then refrained from playing any TW until I got TWWH 2 in 2019.

Navigators are considered nobles for their ability to guide ships through fucking hell.
The filthy fucking eldar will constantly talk down to you about how much better her race is while she avoids any kind of intense emotion because it'll draw the attention of the god of degeneracy her race accidentally created.

Elf would be less shit if you had an actual romance with her but the "we can't be intimate because I'll get eaten by a god" attitude she has the entire fucking time is a turn off. It'd be fine if she slowly opened up and got more intimate over time but pretty much never going past it made her ass.

Skaven and greenskins make me want to stop playing campaigns. Greenskins fielding 3 armies from 1 province that then get doubled from waaghs is annoying, and both factions being able to use the underways to run at literally any time with them only having a chance of being intercepted is a pain in the ass. If you're right next to them when they underway they should be forced into a fight.

They are very good at what they do. That's like complaining about blood knights and grail knights being T5.

I might be wrong about 'compete with CK3 on their own domain' but I guess it's more "They'll be able to offer total war battles and 25-50% of CK3 versus CK3 offering 100% of the campaign map and 0% of the combat".

I am not worried about excessive focus on the campaign map since it's like - okay, how could it get any worse than it is now? If it gets worse than it is now it wont' be because of the campaign map focus, it'll be because they decided something boneheaded about the battle map. But it won't be a case of having to triage their resources or anything it'll just be them being mistaken in a design choice. Like I don't like the lack of semi-procedurally generated maps, leads to the same map over and over in WH3/Pharaoh - but a choice like that was made independent of anything with the campaign map focus since more primitive older total wars had the procedural generation.

I get your concerns and I can see where you are coming from though. You dont' want them to rob peter and pay for paul. If that was the risk I would agree with you about not sacrificing battle maps for campaign - I just don't think it's zero sum there.

>>551111278
Not sure when they brought this in, but a youtube short told me if you hold alt + click attack it will temporarily make the ranged unit switch to melee, but after that attack is over (you move them, the enemy flees and they don't follow, ect) they stay in ranged mode. So no risk of forgetting your horse archers or chariots aren't in ranged mode after you told them to attack then pull back. Even works to override skirmish mode then re-activate skirmish mode automatically once the alt+attack order is over.

Played Total war since 200X and I never knew that.

>>551129428
Sotek said it on Twitter. None of the 4 characters share a race. The FLC Neferata will presumbably be VC meaning I think it's highly likely Nagash is either his own "race" or he's a Tomb King.

They mentioned nagash is his own race, like undead undivided. They also said they were looking into cross race confeds for stuff that makes sense, like the god specific chaos warriors being confederated into their monogod factions. So we can assume Nagash will be able to confed the undead lords. DLC team has enough sense not to hardcode him in a retarded way unlike what the main team did for daniel on release.

>>551130310
The divide happened because all the dragons went to sleep to wait out the age of humans. The Dragon Emperor was the only Eastern Dragon who didn't. He then learnt from the Moon Empress(who is neither human nor dragon but instead some secret third thing) how to assume a human form. So all the Cathayan dragons are descended from the only Eastern Dragon who isn't hibernating, which is also why Cathay has no generic "Eastern Dragon" SEM as the siblings and Emperor are the only order-aligned dragons east of the Mountains of Mourn.

Plus of course each race should have a custom faction

Eldar are always the top faction in every 40k game. It was like that in DoW1/2/3 it was like that in Eternal Crusade(99% didn't even want to play against Eldar because they were THAT bullshit) and in Gladius too.

Only the Space Wolves warrant a real DLC since they're like Middenland with tons of special donut steel units
Blood Angels and Dark Angels don't have enough special units (in fact they only have 1 or 2) to warrant their own but are extremely popular
The Imperial Fists, White Scars, Raven Guard, Salamanders and Iron Hands are relatively unpopular chapters with nothing special going for them but they'll get special skins since they're First Founding chapters
If Games Workshop could reshuffle the main Loyalists without pissing off their boomer purist fanbase they'll remove all of those and replace them with Black Templars, Blood Ravens, Raptors, Minotaurs, Carcharodons and Crimson Fists
Naturally they still love their Ultramarines with the Blood Angels, Dark Angels and Space Wolves being distant

I'm new and stuck, i've been playing Tomb Kings because I think skeletons are cool but I don't really know what i'm doing on the battlefield, it feels like i'm lacking a real win condition, do Tomb Kings suck? Does this Khatep guy suck? Do I suck?! The Empire management is easy enough but I think that's only because my guys don't get paid.

Too true. GW are gonna be fucking brutal with 40k. A ratfag got banned from the workshop for giving Queek copyright distinct Space Marine armour.

The Primaris addition ensured all Chapters are more or less the same

A Space Marine with a power and a gun is something other chapters have access to, it's no longer special to the Black Templars

Meanwhile a Nephilim/Ravenwing fighter is something only the Dark Angels have access to and the Sanguinary Guard and Death Company are only exclusive to Blood Angels

Even Ultramarines have a Space Marine with a power sword and a gun

I mean do u rly think they hand paint every single unit for every single fucking faction and their colors? Fuck no.

Well anon you better buckle up.
>High Elves
The Protagonist faction. The only thing they lack is gunpowder, which they make up for with magic. You have spears, you have bows, and you have options for most everything else too. They're generic, basic, straightforward, and strong.
>Dark Elves
High Elves with less magic but more monsters and drugs. Less effective at range but damn dangerous in melee.
>Wood Elves
ARCHERS LMAO. The only reason to play them over Alarielle is if you want to have Durthu for super trees or Sisters of Twilight for aerial artillery
>Eldar
The actual supreme race of 40k. They have everything. They're faster than everyone else except Dark Eldar. They have the best wizards. They have the best bikes. They have the best Terminators. They have the best Dreadnoughts. They have arguably the best tanks. And on top of all that, they look good the whole time.
>Dark Eldar
Similar to Fantasy, they forgo Eldar wizards, but in this case they favor high speed transports and much larger model counts. They do still hit hard as hell, but where Eldar are sometimes fragile Dark Eldar are made of paper.
>Harlequins
Eldar that are simultaneously more limited yet more bullshit. They won't be in for a while, if ever, and might just be made into an Eldar DLC

Do I just ignore my retarded vassals then? They're running around like headless chickens and pretending they're doing something.
Sometimes I gave them targets, sometimes they listen, sometimes they do nothing, sometimes I can't even click what I want. Also forget fighting skaven too, all their provinces are hidden so I can't give vassals targets on them.

Ignore your vassals, they're there to be a barrier. LL vassals are infinitely stronger so make sure they get the lions share of territory. WoC should only annex dark fortresses and settlements with resources as the resources(marble, iron, gold etc) give factionwide bonuses.

Yeah no confederate chaos lords always. I mean human/elf/dwarf LL's have higher potentials than minor faction ones.
>>
>>551139750
yes ignore them
vassalize LLs when possible because they have better auto resolve potential and also you can steal their legendary and regular heroes
ideally you give your vassals settlements where you can't set up dark fortresses or if there's no useful resource
also as woc confederate your other LLs asap because some of them have the habit of jobbing and needing to be revived, especially guys like kholek

honestly, I dont even know where to start with this war. the border between us is so massive that there are 4 distinct fronts. No matter which two fronts I choose to send my 4 armies down, there are two other fronts that will be undefended and could have armies slipping by to attack my provinces. I'm considering keeping a defensive posture in the north and then just focusing on conquering the south.
I've been procrastinating this for like a day now, I dont know exactly where to start with such a big empire. any thoughts?
>>
>>551144112
I'd put a half or less stack in the 2 undefended fronts and take as much territory as you can with your main armies while getting some heroic victories in siege defense battles
>>
>>551143712
All the shrines are slightly different
>>
>>551144112
I'll go south to take Karak Orrud, and if I can also Karak 8 Peaks too, then consolidate there and avoid overextending to the north.

They're basically the same with a few effect differences.
Astragoth buffs Bull Centaurs and helps with the Tower of Zharr
Drazhoath buffs K'daii and makes armament upgrades/cap increases cheaper
Zhatan has an extra convoy and recruits artillery for cheap.
You heard that right. Not a single one of the LL's has a faction effect that buffs the actual Chorf infantry. That's because they're pound for pound the best infantry in the game.
>>
>>551148247
Chaos and the power of friendship.
>>
>>551147776
Drazhoath and ZULAHOOOO MUST take out Grimgor out ASAP to even have a campaign, only with Drazhoath you have to take out Tretch and Imrik first too, and will definitely get into a land war in East Asia like Zhatan, but Astragoth can prop up Greasus and whoever wins the Pigbarterbowl and actually attack the Empire. All three are very strong and very flavorful though, the whole design of the race is just perfect. My only complaint is that they have slightly too few buildings for an extended campaign, which is probably cause of their hueg tech tree.
