>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 aboutTo 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" lmaoConcession accepted.>muh science fictionGood 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.
So if a game outsells the previous games in a series and has comparable or greater sales than others in the genre, is it safe to say it's not a flop?
I enjoyed Dynasties.

I don't care if it's 100% 40kiddieshit posting as long as the 40kids are crying.
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!
How is playing Counts these days?
i don't get it how do i get elven trade and dragonship supplies

Recently picked up WH3 on sale and want to play dragon niggers. Yaun Bo is disorienting with the two different areas. Am I able to just delete the capital in the Cathay area and exclusively play in the lizard shithole? I noticed the caravans all start from there so I doubt it but still
>>551079621GrimGrave even
how do of some of you have time checking out the army fighting animations while fighting big battles?
>>551078648>NOOOO you can't just romance the space elf! she's an alien or something that's like le heresy!>fucking a mutant fish girl with gills and claws who shoots laser beams out of her forehead that literally rip people's souls out??? oh wait she's abhuman, so it's based! just as the god-emperor intended!is it autism?
>>551080013Well she is a mutated human. Xenos are not even human.
>>551069682Is Lance Formation a meme?
>>551078732>Good science fiction bothers to explain things or at least specifically say that we just don't know how it works. 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.
>>551079953I don't I save replays and try to watch them later. Then I fail to actually notice anything because there's too much going on due to my epic micro skills and I give up.
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.
>>551079953It'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.
>>551080013mutant human =/= xeno scum
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 cancerBut 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
They need to stop updating the game so someone can make an Elden Ring total conversion mod.
>>551080013Cassia romance is so boring compared to Kibellah. Overall this whole quest with navigators is just garbage. Meanwhile Void Shadows has you going one-on-one with an imaginary Emperor
i want to combine my two toys to make the ultimate best toy
>>551080096new 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.
>>551079604Bros... I don't think sqvire is getting a bladesinger gf this campaign.
>>551080315Not exactly fitting but try something like tabletop cap mod first.

>>551080606That's cool and all but what you mentioned has nothing to do with Kibellah's romance.

>>551080119Suspension 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.
>>551080096yes and noit actually makes your cav less mobile because they turn slower, and the charge bonus is almost utterly negligible when it comes to damageit does help in charging through units though if you want to break through a line

>>551082752they fixed that
>>551082724>literally a chat about 40k and anons playing TWW3 in peace while having discussions aroundyeah go piss somewhere else
>>551082449A 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.
>>551082808then why is it still there?
One of the very last TW-related video by /our/ guy Legend: after the 31/12, it will over Foreverhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHmKj87HbG4&pp=ygUTbGVnZW5kIG9mIHRvdGFsIHdhcg%3D%3D
>>551082449Volkmar'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.
>>551083212qrd
>>551083250to clarify it's wurrzag first then the black pyramid, kind of wrote that backwards
any attila pro here who knows if difficulty modifier gives AI more stats like warhammer?
TW might still be broken, but at least Footballdartsmas is heating up. Hopefully CA think i'st worthwhile to fix the game before February.
Best empire mods?
>>551078648nose ring theory
>>551082724Which 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.
>>551080881this guy's a natural. took me like 1000h to come up with this
>>551083515It's not that bad just make sure to use more cav because they are great.
>>551083515I think the only bonus is to morale, but don't quote me on that, it's been pretty long since I checked the effects.
>>551079749Yes you can. Abandon7ng Cathay base doesnt stop you from sending caravans
>>551083515Played VH/VH and so far it's been somewhat of a slog and I've resorted to sieging Isengard every turn with a single general so I can actually build an economy
>>551080013The abhuman doesnt see me as a literal chimpanzee
Anyone here like the Old world mod? I'm giving it a shot. Any specific campaigns that stand out?
fuck rat niggers
>>551084380More like fuck cheatrannies, cheatranny.
I wish I could get into Medieval 2. I tried over half a dozen of times but every time I just get overwhelmed and bored, especially because of the whole crusades thing
>>551082449Use 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
>>551084364I 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.
>>551084380Based rat nigger
>>551084364Any of the karak 8 peaks factions are pretty cool, and just heads up for the bad end turn time.
>>551082335>>551082260>>551082183I 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 undividedArmy 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.
>>551084364Cataph's Southern Realms & OvN Lost Factions: Araby are the two i was referring to
40keks do be seething at Froggy
>>551084709Second this, the 8 peaks turn into a real bloodbowl. One of my earlier runs was as King Kazador of Karak Azul ( I believe added from Legendary Characters - 7.0). After taking my own realm I noticed I was neighbor to the 8 peaks, headed down to take a look at them and saw the carnage pit.

>>551085172>no santa and workshop elf reskins for ogres and gnoblars
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+.That's the Totalwar AI I know and love.

>>551084709I've always wanted to do a proper skarsnik campaign, maybe this is my chance. But I am in a mood to do wood elves, are they any fun?
literally never seen this map before in like 2k hours
>>551085642Wood elves are the most fun faction in campaign map and in battle map to me. Dont disband any confed units and dont be afraid to have negative income. Go kill shit
>>551085642Haven't try them yet, but with the increased size of Athel Loren it should not be as much of chore like in IE.

I dont get it. Do I have to manually play every battle as Eltharion to use the faction mechanic effectively? Auto Resolve rarely yields prisoners (got lucky jailing Malekith) despite. I didnt upgrade shit because I had no ressources until i kicked VC and DE out of the donut.
>>551086975Why even play this game then, the 4X side is shit
>>551086047gross, a bimbobring back stim
>>551087127That's the game, manual is just an optional minigame.
>>551087127I only manual battles to get better results like valiant/close defeats. Fighting every battle is tedious on VH+ when every faction yeets 3 stacks per turn against you.
>>551085642I'm liking my WE campaign a lot right now, I say try them if you're in the mood.
>>551085891Yeah, this was my thinking. The mod is interesting because the world is smaller but there's a lot more in it. So I'll still have plenty to do as the wood elves close to home

>>551088312This image is all I can think about whenever Stavros Halkias does his retarded greek cultural posturing.
>>551088297And 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

>>551090975This 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.It's not a crapshoot, it's a matter of how willing you are to delude yourself for the continuation of the human race.
>>551090985I just want it to look early medieval, so no plate armor. As much as gondorians look cool, for me LotR is early to high medieval. DaC almost has it, because some of Gondor units are like that.
>>551091179>Women bring nothing but suffering and painThat's life in general, and women are no exception but they're soft, smell good, and can reach your dick with their mouth, which is a huge plus
>>551090975>Try dating a female friendwhat's a friend?
>>551091506not worth it desu
>>551091154All units can be good infused correctly anon. Except bloated corpses You just got to get them into the right matchup. Usually if it's a fast flier I like to send it to annoy ranged units, shatter retreating units ( you don't need to defend if your enemy can't attack) or destroy buildings.
>>551091591This is the sticking point for me too.
>>551091189You'd probably lose like 50% of the players if you did that because everyone wants their heavy infantry in plate armor.If it's not a viking, everyone wants lorica segmentata or full plate.

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 dateGunpowder 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

>>551092132The End Times update for Skaven is just a matter of time. They were a threat comparable to Chaos and Nagash so they will definitely be the new endgame crisis.
>>551092532I want stormchads with big gun arms.
>>551091979You 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
>>551092473Hopefully he bows out gracefully like thoonderbarge but I suspect he'll just switch it up to say "Thanquol's here, friends!" or something
>>551092328What is the M3 start date?M2 started in 1080 and had 2 years per turn despite characters aging 1 year per turn and ended in 1530 but it's unlikely you ever hit the turn limit there.
>>551092818the problem isn’t the approach, any halfwit could figure that out. The problem is that you can’t retreat the damn thing when you need to because it’s rampaging.
>>5510933981140
Oh shit i didnt know 40k also had chorf units. Any chance we get chaos dwarf equivalent in TW:40K?Argenta completely shat on it tho it was a pretty underwhelming fight.
>>551093515Forgefiends are a CSM unit so we'll probably get them in a CSM based DLC.
>>551093515>Argenta completely shat on itThats my girl!
>>551093661>my girl!No she isn't. Because she's not a romance option.
>>551093623>chaos space marinesSoulless. Where is my space dwarfs with tall hats? They could be carrying daemon infused AI or turrets in ther tall hats that would be kino.
>>551093959In my headcanon she is
>>551094041Votann are all you get for Space Dwarfs sorry.
>>551093515Daemon 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.
>>551093515/our girl/ completely shits on a legion of chaos space marines, bodies an entire necron dynasty and rapes a c'tan
>>551093959That game's been out for a while now, you mean to tell me there's no mod to romance the only attractive female?
Last Footballdartsmas we would play TW during the downtime. Sure would be nice if CA fixed their game so we could do that again. Guess TW will continue to say that it was last played in January.
>>551093515I wish the difficulty scaling of RT wasn't so shit the only hard fights are like the chaos spawn in the tutorial and the Chapter 1 end boss.

Stop posting that mudshark. Atleast pick a good troontuber if you're going to insist on being avatarfagging loser.
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. Really sucks when you’ve got a capital with a port and a full stack in it and you can only attack it with one stack
>>551094041>Where is my space dwarfsIn the 90s where they and the chaos squats were killed by GW.They were recently brought back as gay generic science fiction midgets.
>>551094220>she rapes a c'tan but won't rape youthat's rough man
>>551094137Why does this look as if the model is digitally pasted onto that rock?
>>551094787but I don't want her to rape me, I want the goth girl to rape me
>>551094415Yeah this is my first playthorugh on daring but like you said difficulty drops from a cliff after act1. I think 6 member party is the problem.
>>551094137If you told me this was a model for a deep rock galactic board game I'd believe you.
>>551094954
>>551094916it's not casting shadow
>>551094995Votann are basically DRG the faction except there are f*male dwarfs
>>551094995It looks literally nothing like anything from DRG you fucking tertiary
>>551095089>he doesnt know that DRG has a female classdon't google it, she's fucking horrible looking
>>551094661>>551094137So they are just space midgets. Why are they allowed to exist tho dont they kill all mutants in 40k?
>>551095089What is the point of females if they're all clones?>>551095101Looks like DRG to me.
>>551095356I didn't know this but I also stopped playing a good while ago when the game got boring.>>551095367Squats were a sanctioned abhuman which means they're 'OK' (loosely speaking) in the Imperiums books like Ogryn and Ratlings.
>>551093959its strange how if you ask why she isnt romancable people say "well not every character has to like you, get over it" but they dont say the same to anyone that mods a character to be a gay romancevery very strange
>>551095556>I didn't know this but I also stopped playing a good while ago when the game got boring.I fucking loved DRG, but then I bought Darktide and all of my addiction went to that game instead.
>>551095367Stable mutations are considered human subspecies(abhumans) and are not exterminated if they are not deemed an active threat to the imperium.
>>551095046I fail to see the problemhttps://i.4cdn.org/aco/1766428649833564.pngit just works
>>551095580Its downright queer if you think about it.
>>551095528The popularity of Deep Rock Galactic is 100% the reason they brought back Squats.
>>551095367>Why are they allowed to exist tho dont they kill all mutants in 40k?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.
>just want to have fun playing Miao Ying>the moment I am busy killing that siamese twin freak the faggot ninja rat and his 40000 armies declares warughhhhhhhhh
>>551095910What 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.
>>551097079>haters gonna hate
>>551091907Thanks anon
>>551098105>I highly doubt that they will release Total War 40k 2Do you think they might stop liking money?
>>551097079Making them move in unison like that was such a good call, one of the most soulful things in total war
>>551098694if the first one bombs they won't release the second one
>>551095089They look more like Warmachine dwarves (ie. beardless) in spaaaaace.
>>551098694I expect that they have learned from their mistakes and will release the game initially as a platform for DLCs. DLCs are still their main source of income.
>>551098829>if the first one bombsnot happening, so let that go
>>551096482Nothing in the high gothic period was fun. Unless you were half-insane and throwing literal shit at people so they die even faster was fun for you, but even then, that fun lasted for a very short time until someone threw back a rock.
>>551093446Rampage 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.
>>551099303>when the unit undergoes too much stressThere should be a mechanic where you can yell into the microphone to make units rampage and whisper to them to calm them down
>>551098753The puppets dance!
>>551097056Ok fuck it, I dont like helfs enough to deal with this bullshit.Guess Ill play Elspeth or something.
>>551099303They changed it because of faggots like >>551093446 kept crying about it. It happens twice per battle now, when they go below 75% hp and a second time when they go below a lower hp value don't remember what off the top of my head.I miss when it worked based off of leadership, and when Saurus could rampage. Felt a lot more flavorful than "fuck you your monster is going berserk".
>>551098694I imagine working on TW:WH is a nightmare because of all the old shit you have to work with so keeping everything in one package on one engine would be very convenient
>>551099303getting 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
>>551099483Well I'd like to see you keep your cool when you get shot in the face with a cannonball
>>551099483BOK BOK BOK
>>551099807>on one engine???
>>551100031The engine underwent significant changes between games. Have you forgotten how the models from TWW1 looked in TWW2?

dechala was born with a special power. she was more beautiful than all her classmates in the ulthuan fighting academy. she served in the ulthuan navy fighting chaos and in the final battel against chaos they were fighting and samael turned her to the darkness and dechala turned against her father and killed him. she lost a part of her right to ascend in the battle which is why she doesnt not have become daemon princess, pls stop PMing me askin me why thats why. also earings arent gurly fuck you khaoskid663 everyone knos your a fuckin pokemon scammer fagot

>>551102836If 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.
Jesus. These guys can just buy units for free
>>551103865Yeah the lizardmen are pretty retarded.
>>551103865>still fighting with the weapons and armor daddy gave them, which they can't even maintain and repair properlyForge worlds exist. A lot of technology has been lost, but with the right equipment, you can make anything.

If I was in 40k I would just live on a World that hadn't lost any technology. It's that simple.
I got an autism where if a faction lord doesn't make sense to mindlessly conquer all I have a problem with doing it. Kostaltyn I can see wanting to conquer the world for da bear, but I guess I could just larp in my head that Katarin is going to bring about eternal winter or something. I would play Rasputin but I don't like how his faction trait just encourages you to spam low level kossars. I guess there's boris I can do. >>551098105It 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. >>551100126WH2 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.
Can anyone recommend mods that give Archaon/Belakor access to essentially all the units, lords, heroes, etc for all Chaos factions? I wanna do a full End Times playthrough.Unrelated, but with DoW4 on the horizon, will this force CA to put some actual money and effort into 40k since they are pretty similar in audience and actually force them to be competitive?
If I was in 40k I would just ignore Chaos. It literally can't do anything if you simply ignore it. It's that simple.
If I was in 40k I'd have a harem of battle sisters and I'd be able to beat any chaos god easily with my cool black katana (with a red edge on the blade of course)I'd also be friends with the emperor who still hits me up on the psyker hotline from time to time to tell me some cool shit and stuffI dunno I guess I'm just built different than the rest of the 40k universe
>>551106000This campaogn has been all over the place.Alith Anar got bullied out of North America and somehow ended up in the southern Chaos Wastes where Kairos starts. And dont get me started on the war between the DE mega alliance and HE mega alliance.
If I was in 40k I would tell everybody that they're in a fictional universe created by a toy company from hell
If I was in 40k I would be a nameless civilian that gets turned into Tyranid Biomass.
>>551106337DoW4 looks like a shittier lower effort game than TW, like imagine two games that look the exact same thing but one has no campaign map or gameplay to speak of
Man, I don't think I'll ever do another Katarin run. I'm just clearing out threat after threat only to end up surrounded by even more threats, and fighting on 4 fronts gets really old, really fast. We truly do not thank Kislev enough.
If I was in 40k I'm almost certain that I would finally get laid
>>551106640Katarin doesn't look like that
>>551107076Tzeentch says otherwise.
If I was in 40k I would probably be some guardsman on a boring planet and would either toil in boredom or die horribly in battle
>>551106640Katarin's campaign is the most fun. War is good, peace is bad.
>>551106302>Get a new bit for the love of Christ, it's so run into the ground it's redditor tier.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.
>>551107076>>551106640Isn't Katarin 16~ish at the time of the game/Endtimes?
Best LL if i want be beautiful and terrifying with some flying?

>>551108330>bronze age memesPharaoh thenit's the one with Mesopotamia
>>551107349Fighting every turn is fun. Wars that never end or progress, on the other hand, is annoying. I've already killed Archaon the Everjobber 3 or maybe even 4 times because I can't dedicate forces to finish spend 4 turns marching and crossing the sea to finish them off.>>551107524I don't really care. I'm not going to pretend a fictional isn't hot because someone attatched a number to them that doesn't suit their appearance. If you don't want people to sexualize underage characters, then don't make your underaged characters sexually attractive and give them the appearance of someone in their 20s.
>>551083515They 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.I played an Isengard campaign on VH/VH and didn't really notice anything unfair in battles and mostly just had a comfy time.
>>551108520I'm reading the reviews, and it seems like the AI is broken for both games. "Bugged" broken.
>>551107524Old enough for the throne, old enough to give dome
I had to sell one of my settlements to the elves because these rats keep running and denying me post-battle loot...
>>551108330Troy for more questliness and a larger, more detailed Greece.Pharaoh for a wider bronze age world and more of a focus on empire building.
>>551107524yeah
i thought this would be harder than it was. I always overestimate the AI
Total War: Thrones of Britannia is actually goodTotal War: Attila is actually goodTotal War: Troy is actually goodTotal War: Pharaoh is actually goodTotal War: Three Kingdoms is actually good
>Medieval 3 has no development>40k gameplay looks like Dawn of War instead of Total War>Warhammer 3 got barely any content for almost 2 years besides a few lord packs>Pharaoh Dynasties made Pharaoh good but any content they were planning for the game got canceled>WW1 TW was in the works before it got canceled>Three Kingdoms got it's DLC canceled because Chinese stopped buying the DLC when every piece of content was NOT 3KDid Hyenas almost fucking kill this company?
>>551109214You can stop trvking bwo there's nothing left..
Why shouldn't I color maps in TW? Why shouldn't I explore the world? Why should I only sack or raze instead of colonizing settlements. Someone explain this for me.
>>551109214But why would you even play them? EU5 is so much better.
>>551107417I meant the inevitable meme-y (yous) I expected rather than your opinion. Your opinion is fine even if I disagree with it strongly since it's a sincere and reasonable opinion. >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.>>551107524She is a fictional character, she looks like an adult, if you showed a judge katarin and went "Judge her wiki says she's 16 and anon is horny for her put him in jail" he'd look at you like you're a retard. It's like an inverse of the 1000 year old dragon girl who looks like a child with the same stupid reasoning.
There are no bad Total War games.
Who is the joshua graham LL?
>>551109472Rome II
>>551108597not sure what they're talking about, AI is predictable but TW always had underwhelming predictable AIit's not the worse it's ever been, I didn't see it completely bug out like it often happened in Empire and Shogun, but yeah they're painfully predictable and can be quite passivestill liked the game tho
>>551109221It was 100 million dollars that went into thin air. Literally just 100 million dollars wasted. If Total war was not a successful franchise CA would have been snuffed out and ended as a company, but Sega saw the value and slapped them back to reality.Also I don't mind the saar-stopper captchas except that they expire way too fucking fast.
>>551109820Is a great Total War game.
>>551109864Only when using overhaul mods
Bruh sieges are op as fuck in warhammer, like i had 1300 dudes against 7k from a triple tomb kings stacks. I lost like 200 units but i completely wiped them out. Bruh
>>551108784Looks like the elves are getting owned by daemons. You will soon be surrounded again.
You only need to sell about 50 houses to make back a 100 million dollars so I don't see how this could ruin a company. Just sell some houses lol.
how do you know if a siege is winnable even if it assume you'd lose?
can you teach a lizardman about chivalry?
>>551109864Even after a million patches it sucks
>>551109221>Warhammer 3 got barely any content for almost 2 years besides a few lord packsI'm really curious what you expected. Didn't we get a ton of reworks during that time?>>551109471>This is a misnomer to me, applicable for warhammer total wars but not for historicals. And a simplification/misreading of 'total war'.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.
>>551110662You fight the battle.
>>551110662At a certain point you just Know if you can win, if you're not there yet then I can't help you.
Tip for Roman players in Attila: Fight all settlement battlesDo you have any tips for older Total War games?

>>551107660malagor
>>551109472Empire was genuinely bad on launch and almost ruined the whole franchise for me. Shogun 2 saved it, but then we got Rome 2 and now we live in Hell for some reason.
>>551110903I for one think the segment of the fanbase that sprouted from warhammer that wants battles in detriment of the campaign is the reason why we have 30 turns campaigns nowadaysI think total war is at its best when balance is achieved, sure total war dont need the depth of CK or EU but make it too simplistic and it also sucks balls, If I wanted to be entertained by just the battles I would play multiplayer

>>551110741hmmis sacrificing chivalrous?
>>551110202>but i completely wiped them outThat's because:- tomb kings die when their morale breaks, in case of mortal armies a bunch would just run away and threaten you next turn- last time I played AI couldn't use their best units in sieges, since they can't climb walls. Those that can climb walls are rather shit.- those shit units are very numerous, which adds to the "bruh I killed so many dudes" feeling
>>551112017>rome 2 was 13 years ago>its older than some posters hereFUCK im old

>>551111817So:>Colonize in territories my faction likesSo say in Warhammer, I was told with Empire that it's best to create allies with other Empire factions instead of conquering it all. And with Norsca, how am I supposed to set a foot hold in territory not suited for Norsca? As well as that pirate high elf lord?

Maybe it was a mistake to give the elves a province and hope for them to become a decent buffer state... At least I got my economy back on track

>Devs will add AoS units into Warhammer instead of making an AoS game>We will likely see Stormcast Eternals one daySo is Nagash a lord pack? Faction pack? Is it just him or are there others?
Will any of the game 1 factions ever feel or look as good as the game 3 factions? I look at the Empire after 2 reworks and a big DLC during WH3 and it still seems like a relic. The textures just look old and the animations are so stiff looking compared to anything that came after. God damn is it to much to ask that all the units in the game have a similar level of graphical fidelity without having to mod it in?
>>551114943>aos unitsSuch as?
>>551114943It's a standalone expansion, so think of it as Total War 3.5. Also, those are ET units.
okay, but which elf is the best elf race and combined faction wise?
>>551112960Yes
>>551115157They all do combined arms if that's what you mean, only noobs spam archers
>>551114943>Devs will add AoS units into Warhammer instead of making an AoS gameNever gonna happen.>is Nagash a lord pack? Faction pack?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.
>>551114521>Methuselah-chan...I was going to make a shitty "total war: vampire the masquerade when?" post but honestly after how badly Paradox fucked that franchise up I wouldn't be surprised if we're never ever getting another vampire gamefuck Paradox, they can take Legend and they can both rot in hell
>>551080013Its based is what it is.
>>551115515>if rumors that WH3 is winding down are to be believedThey're gonna shill 40k like a motherfucker, why wouldn't they slow down? I wanna know is how long til Dark Eldar are made playable.

>>551114157I 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.
>>551084354But you are a primate, anon
>>551080013Navigators 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.
>>551116063I didn't play Med 1 but I played both Rome 1, Empire, Napoopan, and Med 2 on releaseRome 2 had such a horrible fucking release that I was butthurt for years

>>551116859Yeah R2 is in an amazing place now but at release it was rage inducingThis was after Shogun 2 and how awesome it was the whole way through...
>>551115017>is it to much to ask that all the units in the game have a similar level of graphical fidelity without having to mod it in?CA is not going to make brand new models & animations for non DLC. if you want something done your going to have to do it yourself with mods.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005809423&searchtext=zchttps://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3224800743
>>551078732I'll be honest here anon, who asked?
>>551081774Any time the army starts and Skaven declares war on me
>>551078732Shit I better resurrect Isaac Asimov or Kurt Vonnegut to tell them they're not a real science fiction writers because they always said it was better to focus on the bigger picture than autistic minute details
>>551118292for me it's frank herbert and attributing everything to the holtzman effectfaster than light travel? shields? lasguns? all holtzman
>>551118290Skaven 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.
>>551109221>WW1 TW was in the works before it got canceledqrd?
>>551118290just play bretonnia
You WILL pay £40/50$ for the Nagash DLC.
>>551119158It's 4 separate lords so yeah depending on what's in it (seems like Nagash gets other legendary lords) it will be 35$ to 50$
on one hand i get it, but on the other hand, t5 for this? really? competing with treemen and forest dragons?
>>551118292Asimov was a hack who died of Ass Aids.
Your most difficult opponent in any Total War game? pic related for me
>>551119947They are very good at what they do. That's like complaining about blood knights and grail knights being T5. Situationally there are absolutely cases where you would want these instead of a treeman or a dragon, just ram them through a dwarf line and flood the gaps with bladesingers if you don't believe me.

>Valve bankruptsNever happening. Not in a million years.We'll get HL3 before that
>>551121345>>Valve bankruptstwo more weeks and you'll surely take them down Sweeney
>>551110903I 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.>>551111278Not 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.
>>551121760If they can get a steamOS that offers basic windows functionality but without the saarsism of microsoft and linxus' finnickiness they will unironically jump up to the FAANG. It'll have to become FAVANG or something.
We are at an interesting crossroad for the upcoming year. If CA truly botches their next releases than all the CA naysayers will be uplifted and praised for their insight into CA's faults. But if 2026 really is a grandslam success for CA then Volound, and Legend, and all the others that side with them will be completely buried.

Elspeth question. Is it worth replacing her frontline with knights of the black rose? After grabbing their landmark.
>>551123138Your frontline is ironsides. But if you want melee then sure, rose knights are great for both hammering and anviling.

How do crabs hold up for VCoast? I'm thinking LL/2 heroes, 5 depth guard (3 anti infantry, 2 AL) , 3 rotting promethian gunners, 2 deck gunners, 5 hangunners 2 carronades/mortras/necrofex.
>>551117834>brand new models & animationsLiterally all they have to do is retexture the garbage they made in 2016. It's not a huge ask.
>>551119857>4 separate lordsSource? Isn't the only thing revealed about the DLC is that Nagash and a handful of units are in it? I don't remember seeing anything about other LLs coming with it besides the FLC Neferata
>>551129428Sotek 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.
>>551126669What would the dragon's opinion on this be? Would he also want to smash Miao or would he be weirded out that she's fucking an elf?
>>551129567They 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.
>>551129428>Source?Some guy on Reddit
>>551129660Well the Eastern Dragons think poorly of the Western Dragons for letting Elves ride them and Western Dragons think poorly of the Eastern Dragons for being so prideful and self-centered as all pre-WH3 Cathay lore had them being incredibly isolationist.
Space elves are cool but 40k is kind of gay. Are there other settings with space elves?
>>551130065>Eastern DragonsHOLY CRINGEThe actual king of dragons had a pact with Elves and Aenarion through Khaine. All dragons are allied with them unless they are deviants.
It's the beginning of a beautiful lizard-dwarf alliance. Yeah... I really want his guns and artilleryI'm kinda surprised how well things have gone on an ironman playthrough. The only thing I'm worried about is losing my army to a quest battle
>>551130220D&D's Spelljammer, but those are mostly just regular Tolkien Elves who travel among various Medieval worlds
>>551130065Someone post the lore bit where a western dragon mocks meow for fucking her servants
>>551130310The 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.
>>551130467hi i'm servant
>>551130467Imagine the guys that are lucky enough to fuck an immortal dragon. They must get absolutely dominated. The only way it could be better is if they looked like this. God I love immortal lolis
So these fuckers from Oracles of tzeentch just randomly takeover settlements all over the place? Do they actually select it or in true tezzentchian fashion its random?
>>551130617I doubt illegal crossbreeding was greenlit by the Slaan. I think Cathay has to be sank.
>>551130348Playing Thorek for the first time and getting a carnosaur was peak warhammer.I got a mod that fixes allied outposts for lizardmen and tomb kangz to allow the recruitment of their higher tier shit such as various constructs and the Dread Saurian. Might give thorek another go at some point and upgrade the carno.
>>551130952iirc the dragons aren't products of the old ones so they wouldn't be in the great plan at all. dragons and liggers probably hate each other
>>551130952Dragons are some of the only creatures that were on the planet before the Old Ones, Dragon Ogres and I think Fimir are also in this group.
>>551131240I believe they're the only major creatures that predate the coming of the Old Ones and either weren't marked for extermination or survived it. But there is a reason there are no dragons in Lustria.
>>551131041It's definitely cooler to have a mainly dwarf army with dinosaurs than the other way around
>>551131160>>551131240Yeah they aren't Old One products and they are actively creating illegal chimeras of humans and dragons which isn't part of the great plan. Cathay needs to be nuked.
>>551131767I love those things even though they take so much damage, there's nothing sweeter than that big battle barge of a lizard plowing through the little folk on the other side
>>551131767>reason there are no dragons in lustriaYeah it's too fucking hot for most of them
>>551131874Yeah, dwarfs have better tech, too. Getting shield wall on your lil niggas is great for having that unbreakable anvil and having dinos come crashing from the back.

>>551132573Going to need to be more specific anon, there's like 8 flavors of them now that 40k is coming.
>>551133338I expect space marine supremacy because if space marines don't easily beat every faction in any situation then 90% of 40keks will scream and cry and piss their pants
>>551134082I was referring to wh3 but 40k wouldn't hurt too since I'll probably just wait until we get adeptas sororitas
>>551078648I think I kind of want to return to Warhammer, now that they gave WH3 away for free. But only to play Dark Elves again. Probably light on mods still they still patch this game. Once they are done I could return again for more mods.
I actually don't think we need that many side factions of Space Marines for TW40KI don't think we need stuff like Lamentors or Carcharodons or Flesh TearersAs long as we get all the original Legions from the Heresy plus Black Templars and Red Corsairs we'll be finePlus of course each race should have a custom faction
>>551134157Eldar 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.

>>551134492Only the Space Wolves warrant a real DLC since they're like Middenland with tons of special donut steel unitsBlood 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 popularThe 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 chaptersIf 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 FistsNaturally they still love their Ultramarines with the Blood Angels, Dark Angels and Space Wolves being distant

>>551134492They'll either go all in on the customization like Space Marine 2 in which case we'll have new Marine content with every single DLC or they MIGHT if we're VERY lucky only do the founding chapters which will allow for the xenos and imperium factions to get a slice of the pie.

>>551137990Primaris bulldozed the entire thing of marines being versatile while at the same time stealing aspect warriors from eldar.
>>551137898what do men do in the face of such evil?
>>551135374I had a look at his attributes and statline and it seems like he's just an anti-large noble, I guess the Skycutter mount is novel but I can't imagine an SEM skycutter would be any good..
>>551137943It's not available for easy use cause GW says NO.I mean do u rly think they hand paint every single unit for every single fucking faction and their colors? Fuck no. Every factions has 2 colors and all models of all units they have automatically take one of them on and the other becomes map painting color. It's the exact same thing that happens in Stellaris. There you are allowed to pick tho.
>>551133374I would play kairos if he didn't have the worst start position of the entire game
>>551138080why don't you just drop difficulty for trivial battles so you can AR them and then bump it back up when you fight battles that actually aren't in your favor/equal to your army strength
>>551138080Total War not Total Autoresolve. This isn't CK3.
>>551138367Wouldn't that be Total Battles?
>>551138223I think you're missing the point here, guy.
>>551138080>actually I don't like playing the game.
>>551138493nta but I really dont like playing warhammerI do it because its the only total war still alive
I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT TO SPREAD MY GENESEEDMY GENESEEDWILL CREATE POWERFUL WARRIORS AND ALLOW ME TO CONQUER THE FAR REACHES OF THE VOID. ALL THANKS TO MY GENESEED.lmao cum
>>551134363Well anon you better buckle up.>High ElvesThe 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 ElvesHigh Elves with less magic but more monsters and drugs. Less effective at range but damn dangerous in melee.>Wood ElvesARCHERS 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>EldarThe 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 EldarSimilar 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.>HarlequinsEldar 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
>>551138604What a retarded way of thinking.
There is never any point in continuing a Total War campaign after you have 10 settlements. You always end up with far more money than you can spend and end up fighting hundreds copypasted battles against the same boring 20 unit stacks.
>>551138604
>>551138639Kabalite warriors>GuardiansDon't @me craftworlders
I have just been informed by r/TotalWar that Settra does not serve, is this true?
>>551138890
>>551138639>supreme race>fight own emo race over nonsense like toddlers
>>551138983Craftwolders don't fight the dark eldar lmao. Their interests don't converge in any way.
war coordination mechanic is so fucking ass I'm playing as Archaon and tardwrangling this vassal swarm is impossible. Next time I play I'll just annex everyone and not bother with this shit, research bonuses aren't worth it.
>>551139352>research bonuses aren't worth it.But the soul income is. Annexing as WoC is actually a terrible idea.
how do you economy as skarbrand? Fighting is all well and good but I'm running out of things to murder and if I don't get to sack anything for a turn I'm only making 500~ gold a turn. I only have one army and have been relying on bloodhosts entirely for support.
I can finally play again i got coerced into watching avatar 3 they made the exact same movie 3 time in a row and humans are completely retarded in every single one
>>551138971>he survives this THATS WHY HES THE GOAT
>>551139352Just take over their armies, nigga. Aside from dark fortresses and resources, settlements are worthless anyway.
>>551139456Do 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.
>>551138493>i'm a loser without a job and i like doing the exact same one-sided manual battle over and over again!
>>551139471Your money will be in the red, just get used to it.
munching on Clio's toes
>>551139750Ignore 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.
>>551139496Total war?
>>551139981yes im about to rekt tomb kings they only have 2 settlements left and the skaven stopped sending doomstacks so i can actually expand
>>551139974>LL vassals are infinitely strongeroh I just confederate those by force, I spent the first 30 turns just going north west until I reached Deadwood.I only have a bunch of random norsca and Hag Graef. That might be an LL faction, not a dark elf expert.
The broke life of being a lizard
hey fellas, how's the new DLC? Did they FIX EVERYTHING?
>>551140347Yeah no confederate chaos lords always. I mean human/elf/dwarf LL's have higher potentials than minor faction ones.
>>551139750yes ignore themvassalize LLs when possible because they have better auto resolve potential and also you can steal their legendary and regular heroesideally you give your vassals settlements where you can't set up dark fortresses or if there's no useful resourcealso 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
>>551140429The dinos are just really expensive and they have no use case when you can just have sem mounted heroes
>>551140432good, and yes
>>551140432I'm not really impressed by any of these factions it's really odd I'd rather be playing tamurkhan with his heroes to make a norsca stack than doing it with norsca
>>551140470Yeah I think Kholek fucking died or something, I don't see him anywhere. All that's left it Tamurkhan but I don't have his DLC anyway.
>>551140429Bro your 50% unkeep cost reduction lord?
I just got my LOL on @ 4channel.orgLLs for this feel?
Khorne is boring as hell!
Khorne allied recruits are kind nice to pick from as Skaven, plugs some holes
Man 40k is so much better as a setting compared to fantasy.
>>551141670Eh I think nurgle chosen would make more sense
>>551140429how come you can afford 2 full stacks with so few regions?
>>551141847I had some post-battle loot money and sold a settlement to the dwarfs for 10k and an alliance, but I guess this building is preventing me from going completely bankrupt
>>551142395I have 4 regions of t3 cities and i only have 1500 income with one full stack that has the lord that has 50% unkeep reduction
>>551138604It's a fucking single player game though?
>>551143114Warhammer is quite chaste in my experience
>>551143369Not with my beastmen modlist it isn't..
Beastmen?More likeGay
>>551141808I don't know all of Chaos roster do the solo gods get the Shrines like the one blood shrine Khorne has? That one I never played around with and it's kinda nice having that baked in Siege Attacker and other niceties. I feel like a complete bozo for playing way too much Dwarves, Elves, Lizards Vampires, Empire and never really much in way of Chaos or Skaven, this has been a good deal of fun
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?
>>551144112I'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
>>551143712All the shrines are slightly different
>>551144112I'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.
First time I'm not lvl 12 by turn 10 as sisters because manripper killed a rat settlement entirely rip
>>551145439Why is he called manripper? Is he gay?
>>551145356yeah I'm going to have to go south with my main stacks to confront...thistwo stacks in the north will push for black crag and hopefully draw attention away from my provinces. I'm really worried they'll come through from the north, their territory extends all the way up there.
I take it taurox never leaving clar karond isn't a bug it's an intended feature at this point
>>551145579>magma cannonuseless in sieges, though better than deathshriekers on the field. I don't AR sieges tho>only one K'daai when you can give them 45% PR with all the buffs and both units are actually pretty good>more than 6 guns when that many can cover all the angles of the hill you're deployed on>no dreadquake for instantly deleting an entire unit with each hit6/10, Chorf harder with a vengeance
>>551145803Beastmen got their AI krumped just like Changeling.
>>551145878Don't fireglaives fire overhead just fine
>>551145898Well taurox very much is the strongest lord in the game outside of orion during wild hunt so I guess it's intended but it's still stupid. Changeling not being an idiot would ruin every new players franz campaign
>>551145878i literally have a dreadquake tho, and there's nothign wrong with that many guns if you know how to set them up. infernal ironsworn are better than k'daais
>>551078648>she has better abs than him
>>551146138Yeah i'm not saying it was a bad choice, I was just explaining why he's retarded.
Which dlc should I buy first
>>551146975Twisted and the twilight
>>551146975Whichever race you like.
>>551146975CHORF! CHORF! CHORF! CHORF!
After cleaning the entire east, finally came back and decided to prop up wissenland, they confederated two of the other empires real quick and look at that already becoming a regional superpower. Bretonnia got all angry cause the wood elves decided to FAFO but trading settlements seems really OP
>>551146975Anything but chorfs, they are awful.
>>551145579I wish every race was as interesting and deep mechanically as the Chorfs. If I liked stunties I might play them more.
>>551146975Nothing except chorfs, they are amazing.
>>551147119How different are the 3 Chorf lords? I know they're the most mechanically in depth race but all the lords are pretty close to each other on the map so idk if I'm interested in 3 of the same campaign
>>551146975Kangz
>>551143540What mods?
god damn tamurkhan gets a lot free friendship with every evil fuck
miao ying has probably the easiest start in the game holy shit. the sky junk will carry you through every single battle for the first 5 or so turns without a single casualty.
>tease naval battles in the end times trailer>don't actually have naval battlesfuck you
>>551147776They're basically the same with a few effect differences.Astragoth buffs Bull Centaurs and helps with the Tower of ZharrDrazhoath buffs K'daii and makes armament upgrades/cap increases cheaperZhatan 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.
>>551148247Chaos and the power of friendship.
>>551147776Drazhoath 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.
>>551148306
>>551148306Thank god.
>>551148136The coomer modhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3476784883
>>551148136https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3476784883It combines all the beastcoom mods into one.Yes even the sexo animations.Yes even the sexo events.Yes even the onahole reskins.Yes even the enslaved female LL's.I don't know how it's allowed on the workshop but it's there.
>>551148689I didn't realize the lewd mods were sneaking onto the gabenshop now.
>>551148846Lewd mods are not at all uncommon on the Steam WorkshopSource: A Darkest Dungeon player
>>551148942It varies game to game. We technically haven't been allowed to host coom mods on the workshop since Grace sperged out about Sun Ren getting put in a slingkini by Chinks, it's why modders like LiG have all their old mods being nude/sheer etc but their newer stuff like Ulrika is just more form-fitting clothing.
Miao Ying belongs to Imrik.
>>551149149God I hate women.
I've been informed that i'm supposed to prefer Goblins to Orcs. I would like to affirm that this statement is false and that the Orcs are the only part of the Greenskins that matter and that you'll never ever EVER see me using a single Gobbo in any army EVER.
>>551148749>onahole reskinsExplain
>>551150581Gives the Beastmen dicks and puts Elf and Human women on said dicks. The main disappointment is that there's no physics like similar mods in other games.
>>551150189She's quite literally built for rat cock though?
>>551150692>subscribes
Meow is a blushing virgin
>>551151602Lore says Miao puts out for Horses THOUGH
3k has a higher peak than all the wh games FUCKING KEK wh nerds need to neck acting like wh is the most successful total war game when its really 3k
>>551152782I bought 3k but havent done a siege on it yet seems like asspain but idk
