>>551448857I'm a Cathay player and this is my unit roster.
>>551449504Border Princes.
Hope you're had a very merry Christmas, friends!
>>551449616A power to rival Karl Franz..
>mfw later tonight when with family and we're all watching the christmas log on tv
Best christmas campaign?
>>551450020>So mindbroken by /b/ that I had to hold back from laughing when people mentioned that we're having a Yule Log for Christmas
Is Aislinn still good if I confederate him? Can he still buff LSG to a decent amount without his unique tech? I know ships company wont be worth it.
>still no ratted lewd mods
>>551449475He's Australian, kids probably die all the time there due to wild animals and religion of peace related beach shootings.
>>551450692Lifelong Legend Supporter here. (Superchat) Apparently he used to live in some slum and found a white (ish) bitch and moved to the coast where it is safer to raise his kids.
>>551448857
All I wanted for Christmas was Rat Sex, Lizard Sex, Elf Sex, Human Sex, Vampire Sex, and Favored Daughter sex, but all I got was some really thoughtful gifts and the opportunity to spend quality time with my familyThis shit sucks
>>551451860>Slayers badDavi bros...

>>551451860
Merry Christmas /twg/ even though it's almost over
>>551452080He is neither Prince or Emperor
>>551452195Merry Christmas!I am looking forward to many jolly Total War campaigns.
>>55145210740k is now an inseparable part of this general and the sooner you come to grips with it, the better your time will be
>>55145210740k "destroying" this thread was way overblown, antifags made it way more unbearable with their shitfit. And they'll do it again once the marketing cycle for the game kicks in.
>>551451860Meowbros...
>>551452195Merry Christmas bros
>>551452020If you look in a different direction it says "Slayers Great" so it can be assumed that the cloud decrees that it's subjective, or atleast varies by circumstance.
>>551452685>cat dog>hay shit@gork what does that mean?
>>551452498posted it again award
>>551452685>cat hay>dog shit@mork what does that mean?
>>551444698Kurt will be a flcMarius Leitdorf will be the real deal (after Volten)
>>551452617I wonder how much of it was frogy having a mental breakdown. It seems that the entire 40k is cursed by his existence now.
>>551452782Ay ya git itz meaning that tha catz and dogz do fat ones in horse food
Will we get an FLC lord alongside the Cathay Character Pack?
>>551452820now that I know it annoys you Ill post it every thread I remember to
I don't think anyone cares about Nagash...So he will be his own faction and he can recruit undeadmannii from all other undead factions
>>551452870Oi ya grot itz meaning that catz n dogz dont like food meant for 'orses
>>551453087Yeah I saw on the wiki he's in his own racial category. I didn't think TCAL would be so shameless but they actually are just merging the code from the Nagash mod into the game..
Lords of the end times will either be restricted to their own campaign (which nobody will play) or will be end game exclusive (which nobody plays)
OH NO NO NO NO AHAHAHHA
>>551453201I'm pretty sure they already said you'll be able to play Nagash from the start but when the AI plays it it will only be as an end game crisis.
>>551453040That wasn't me btw. I know 40k is inevitable but it'd be nice if it didn't dominate the general before it has a release date.
>>551453289kekarooo 40keks do be like that
>>551452914>entire 40k is cursed>by a literal whoI don't even know who that nigger is.
>>551453289jokes aside that is some very skilled painting
>>551453289Which post-Soviet country is this flag from?
>>551453490Ignorance is blissBut I meant here on 4chan, not in general
>>551453435It's a new game and the closest one to launch, Med3 and ET will also dominate the thread once they're closer to launch.
HE could solo all of Warhammer.
>>551453898Not if an ork is convinced that he is invincible. take that libtard!
>>551449864Merry Xmas, ritualposter!
>>551453898Yeah but could he beat your job application, Pablo?
Cathay was the worst implementation as a mainline fashion.China is not that cool.
Not to go too off topic but anyone else try Master of Command? Its like Battle Brothers and Total war had a youtubers baby. I like it
>>551454401you're going to spend today whining about china exist? really lil bro?
>>551454401True. China is even cooler.
>>551454401China is cool
Is it a holiday anywhere but the us?
>>551454486>Total War is only successful due to lack of competition>Competitors arise>Total War still ascendantWhat gives?
>>551454945Yes.>>551455094False.>>551455109How do you do fellow kids.mp4>>551455152In the Sharia state of Britain, I believe Eid is coming up.
>>551455167Imagine, for a second, you are in a high school.Imagine, for a second, you are a very ripped kid who has had parents who cared about him and made him work out and study since youth.Imagine some nerds start taking issue with you.They pick fights with you and lose.Imagine they start lifting to be able to beat you.Imagine they still lose fights because they started exercising ten years too late.
>>551455152I'm a bong and I just had Christmas Dinner.So yes. Christian holiday's aren't exclusive to Muttlanders, Bonglanders still celebrate it even if the Elector Count of Bongland is a Norscan sympathizer..
Handholding with Sororitas
>>551455179
>>551454401Meow is cute and built for corruption.
>>551454401But the mods..>>551449616
>>55145517Cathay being the third most popular faction proves you wrong.Get ready for the Chinese millennium
Politics aside, Cathay and Chinese aesthetics in general are pretty cool
I wish there was more art of Miao Ying (dragon form).Humans are so boring.
>>551455610Play Three Kingdoms if you like that, it's a pretty decent game even if it half-assed the historical mode so it could have Romance hero units.
>>551455745ThisI really hope that the Cathay DLC won't be about beast people. I want more constructs and unusual animals
>>551455610I wish they went more Han than Jade but i'm happy with them generally. I'd like the faction that was retconned to be the real creators of gunpowder to have more artillery and gunlines though..
>>551449616What cheats?
>>551455535Lmao, ch*nese population is already in decline.Humanity = Bharat since 2030.
>>551454401>not kislev>>551455094>>551455109>>551454945fuck off chud
>>551455905It's on my list, but right now TWW is enough for me.>>551455927We will see at least two more DLCs for them, so their unit roster is essentially not yet complete.
>>551455905Yes. I bought 3k because of Cathay and Im really enjoying it. I kinda forgot how complex a total war can be after playing warhammer for thousand hours.
CHINKMANNII
Imagine shilling for China for a few bucks.
I don't care about Burgermanii or Chinamannii
I can't see shit on this battle map.

Imagine slandering Cathay for just a few tokens of favour with the Dark Gods.
CHAOS CUH
>>551456417Dont worry, I would slander the US for free.
Roman Legionaries should have been squads of 5 men.
>>551456536Romans in californian redwood forest?
>>551454401Something about them doesn't manage to do what the empire or bretonnia does. I think they feel like an over the top attempt at pandering, infected by current year sensibilities and aesthetics, rather than an authentic part of the setting. They feel rather out of place compared to the original human realms. I think it's similar to why new kislev fails.And the female units feel completely out of place and their unconvincing voices take me out of it whenever I hear them, I can't take a human girl trying to sound like a warrior seriously.
>>551456967Honestly, it seems like the problem is with you. Your brain has simply been fried by propaganda and woke garbage to the point that you're seeing patterns where there are none.
I love Coal
>>551456967>fantasy russia and fantasy Briton are fine but fantasy china just feels weird
>>551456967the elves aren't voiced by actual elves bro
>>551456536if you were playing the remaster you could press space to hide the trees :)
>>551455981>>551456540After some testing don't use Deer's overhaul with War Under Heaven, can't tell you why but it prevents campaign movement.
SFO still updating?
>>551457398>Your brain has simply been fried by propaganda and woke garbage to the point that you're seeing patterns where there are noneI think I just like the old feeling of the setting and cathay just doesn't capture that because it was created by people that neither understood nor cared for the old feeling of the setting, like the people that made age of sigmar.The overwhelming majority of positive comments regarding cathay are just people cooming over the dragon lady and the female gunners but they don't seem to care for cathay as an actual army beyond the goonbait.>>551457797I just said I don't like new kislev, classic kislev seemed to have much more appealing, grounded aesthetic and worldbuilding.>fantasy Briton are fineYes.
>>551458121Yes. The update will take longer than usual so don't expect it this year.
>>551458121Very slowly
>>551458214you bodied that freak
>>551458214>it was created by people that neither understood nor cared for the old feeling of the settingYeah. TWW wasn't like that since the first game. Your problem is not with Cathay or Kislev, but with Total War Warhammer in general. I understand what you mean, and imo it's neither better nor worse, it's just different.Still, comparing it to Age of Sigmar is too much.
>>551452384They all say that until he summons the successor chapters.
>>551458214NTA but I like how they look. They can be cool and also dissonant with the rest of the Warhammer races. Also having an attractive woman as the racial leader is never a bad thing.t. Total War primary / Warhammer secondary
>>551456967I agree. It feels like they are trying to port pandering AoS trash into the old warhammer instead of making something that is actually fitting
>>551458885But all of the first game's factions feel like completely faithful depictions, so it's clearly not the entire series itself.Greenskins, the empire, dwarfs, vampire counts and bretonnia all feel and sound exactly how I imagined they did when looking at warhammer art decades ago, they're great.
>>551459426I meant that only the first game was like that. Starting with TWW2 the vibe was more fantasy-like
>>551459426In their Warhammer retrospective they said that GW had a lot of creative control early on that gradually loosened as the series became more and more successful until Cathay arrived as the first and final Faction created with direct creative involvement from CA, a correlation that's worth mentioning but not necessarily causation as CA could be overselling their input but Rich did say that over the last decade his proudest achievement was Cathay.
>>551459259Weren't female leaders completely nonexistent in total war until rome 2?
>>551459759>proudest achievement was CathayAnd there was clearly something to that, look at GW, when has a Tabletop newcomer ever dominated the playrates? Cathay are only played less than the face of the entire franchise. Whether or not they're good for the setting is up for debate but they've certainly been a resounding success among the fanbase if only from the Asian part.
>>551458214based pic
>>551459759>Cathay arrived as the first and final Faction created with direct creative involvement from CAI wonder if GW will allow them to do more stuff like this. Cathay was a success, so we'll see.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ppi_smAi78factions for this feel?
>cathay doesnt fit with the rest of the sayingGee the faction intended to evoke a far off foreign land that deliberately isolates itself where everything is completely different from what we are familiar with is kind of dissonant with the rest of the setting?Imagine my shock
>>551460127skaven
>>551460127>song is just straight up VIOLENCEtaurox and khorne
Early game units that I have faith in:Dwarf WarriorsArmoured KossarsJade WarriorsPlaguebearersChaos Warriors of Khorne
>Lizardmen and empire evoke the same feelingSome people are just retarded, it seems.
>>551456967>>551457797>>551458214>>551458885Cathay feels weird because its literally an asspull faction. It exists because people kept asking GW what stops Chaos from just invading from the other side of the world, so they said 'uhhh there's some fuckin Chinese there.. uhh and they built a big wall'. Its just very obvious that it was never fully conceived of or fleshed out in the way other factions were
>>551459872Female leaders weren't hated because they were female, they were hated because they were ahistorical. I know it's hard to imagine due to the current state of the world but Female generals released a few months before even gamergate had got started, the pushback at the time was purely because Roman armies and such were never led by female generals. It's only later on due to the culture war that it got respun as being an early preliminary battle between gamers and the gaming industry.
>>551460360this desu
>>551460456Yeah as a hot female warrior enjoyer they correctly do not belong in historical games.
>you can just fly a flock of infinite ammo meme lanterns and win with zero casualties>just use rockets on ranged units and towers than just fly around taking potshotsthis is dumbbut I did it anyway
I refuse to play Cathay (or elves) as a new player. My goal is to absolutely rampage through with any faction and murder all of Cathay and the elves.Factions for this feel? Orcs are a bit obvious of a choice.
>>551460456women do not belong on the battlefield for many reasons
>>551460645men do not belong on the battlefield
>>551460719Beastmen. Use the mod. You know the one.
id fuck a woman, desu
Bros, it's time.... what start date/faction do I pick?
>>551460719if you want to demolish Ulthuan play Ironhammer and start completing grudges
>>551460957Play as the good guy in 190.
May your Christmas sparkle with happiness!
>>551459872Female leaders exist since Medieval 2. If a priest with the secretly female trait becomes pope then she's the leader of the papal states.
>>551460456The point being of course, that Warhammer is a fictional setting so it can make sense for a Female to be in a grand position of power as it's not limited by historical standards and records and that it wasn't "reeee women in powerful positions" it was "reeee women in powerful positions in a time and place where such things never happened".>>551460645Agreed, but I see no issue with them being present in Fantasy or Sci-Fi>>551460765In reality yes, but in a made up army in a made up setting? Sure, why not? The only people that are mad at Cathay for having Miao or mixed sex units are those that are so brainrotted by the culture war that they don't see it as an intentional design choice to show how to the dragons; humans are interchangeable golems made explicitly for the meatgrinder but is instead a cultural gotcha for the "enemy" side.
>>551459712There are certainly fantastical races that don't feel like they're completely out of place or hamfisted. I think vampire counts and skaven are very fantastical armies that are also handled well.But when I look at kislev it feels like they were designed by someone that thought more magic=more interesting and the harder they double down on a one note theme the better they looked. Little grom is exemplification of new kislev's lazy design, it's like if the empire had a giant magical hammer used as a sled with a giant cannon that fires magic hammers and is pulled by demigryphs.
>>551460456ThisKislev and Cathay are literally the perfect spot for female soldiers. I would be against female soldiers in the Empire or medieval Europe, but in fantasy China and Russia? Sounds about right
>>551461020Stop lewding them
>>551461093bwo your von Draken...

>>551461164the witchbarnoess from bohemia
>>551460368Out of all of these, Legend rated Jade Warriors as S and Chaos Warriors of Khorne as A and Armored Kossars + Dwarf Warriors in B. Plaguebearers were not recommended.
>>551461074My only problem with Kislev is the absence of cabins on chicken legs and other fantasy Slavic stuff.>>551461164Mages and rulers do not count.
>>551460368Out of all of these, Cultist of Khorne said they're all worthless because you can't doomstack them.

Total War factions that never did anything wrong?https://youtu.be/zFSsmWNph7A?si=TwbnlqSAUA0zwT4O
>OoD releases>Get bored>Purge modlist to save space and play 3K while I wait to get an urge to play>Down to 2 pages>Come back to Warhammer with the release of ToT>Download basic mods for each faction>Back to 37 pages
>>551461067There's obviously little issue with a powerful female dragon that can take the form of a human being of high status in an empire ruled by dragons, a bunch of cute little girls being frontline soldiers in a setting that for most of its history established human women were not normally front line combatants in armies feels very forced and out of place.The complaints would only be unreasonable if female units were regular occurrences in the empire, kislev and bretonnia before the revision of cathay and kislev. Almost all art for warhammer fantasy(and 40k for that matter) depicted the footsoldiers of human armies as being exclusively male.
>>551461495SkavenKislevCathay
>>551461669>Kyislev>Did nothing wrongFALSE
>>551461626I hear you and I do somewhat agree but it's as I said, for Cathay it's because the rulers don't see their people as people and instead as a resource whereas for Kislev they have conscription for everyone because they're always in a position of facing down an existential threat so they need as much manpower as they can get. For Cathay you can suspend your disbelief that there's hundreds of thousands of female troops and still enough civilian women to keep the troops coming but with a place that gets decimated every few decades like Kislev it's hard to believe that they can include women in the army and still have a birth rate at natural death replacement levels.
>>551453289I don't find it's likely that someone would have armies from all those factions. More likely they were purchased and painted up as single models just to make <insert whoever you don't like here> seethe.Also, I just checked, and the thing on far right is a sigmarine from age of smegmar, not 40k. Weird choice.
>>551461626I think it is quite reasonable to have female soldiers in Kislev and Cathay. The entire foundation of these nations literally lies in defense and war against chaos. They are literally in a state of constant war.
>>551460456>It's only later on due to the culture war that it got respun as being an early preliminary battle between gamers and the gaming industryBut isn't that clearly an example of people in the gaming industry pushing their agenda by shoving their ideology into places it has no reason to be? Gamers certainly weren't asking for female roman generals, the old devs 10 years prior didn't seem to think it was a good idea(or even think about it at all), the concept never even crossed my mind back then.
>>551462047Kislev maybe but Cathay has a huge fuck ton wall that doesn't get breached that often.
>>551454401Now that niggers are getting beat up around the world, general investor sentiment is shifting towards making regular people suck chinese cock, instead of black cock. Sure, chinese cock is significantly smaller, but you're still sucking it. I think this needs to be stopped, since roaches have many more ways to shittify our lives than brownoids ever did.
>>551459237You know who really summoned the successor chapters?
>>551461967>so they need as much womanpower as they can getftfy
>>551454486I don't like youtubers, so thanks for making me never want to try it.
>>551462517youre welcome
>>551457797It's fantasy Ukraine, russia is the "norscan" tribes to the east.Nothing wrong with british Britain (as opposed to saar britain).
>>551457987After even further testing I have discovered that they're compatible with one-another. The movement prevention is a bug with War Under Heaven but it's resolved by going to your event history log in the top right and viewing the event again, after that it's like normal.
>>551457797Fantasy China is just 'ching chong tribe fights bing bong tribe, three people die in the actual fighting, ten million of famine', battle is listed as one line in a record about historical music for some reason.
>>551462727>Tzeentch cultist of charge of KvyifslevThe mods were right?
>>551461967>it's hard to believe that they can include women in the army and still have a birth rate at natural death replacement levelsI mean, the all-female troops of Kislev are an elite force made up of rejected mages. And it makes sense, female wizards are guarded by female warriors.If we look at all this from a realistic perspective Kislev should be more concerned about the bear population than about women.
>>551462727Modern propaganda has given you brain damage. Norsca are fantasy norse you retard.
Chaos is an unc faction no cap fr fr
>>551462745So why exactly could CA not handle bannermen?
do i need to know every unit in the game to play multiplayer?
>>551461626But what are their tax policies?
>>551462727Ah yes, a cold country governed from the KremlinUkraine
>>551461967The problem being women as front line combatants when you have a giant population to begin with is either unnecessary or detrimental. A giant population will also have a proportionally giant number of men to fill out ranks.Even looking at humans purely as a resource, resources are best used in specific applications, women as warriors is like using cloth to build walls or stone to make into your clothes.One woman and one man can only create a single child at a time, she doesn't make more the more men there are, but a single man can create more children the more women there are.
>>551463536more knowledge of the units and their counters can't hurt
>>551463596No one cares. It's a fantasy game. Female soldiers are hot.
>>551463536No, just reading the Total Tavern blogs should be enough to play at a casual level https://totaltavern.com/ go to the blogs section at the top and read them. But the main way to git gud at the multiplayer is to play, for beginners you should focus on playing only the faction for (You). The most competitive tournaments do 3 factions but the more casual ones just have 1 person 1 faction.
>>551463596Sorry I can't hear you over the shrill shrieking of my all female army
>>551459398AoS did its not-China before Cathy was made for tww and it's nothing alike
>>551463691I care, coomer.>>551462727>>551463587Kislev was always an amalgamation of east slavic cultures with some tatars seen through the lens of warhammer.
>>551463741>has a minipaint sectioncute ngl
>>551463596Other guy isn't me. And I agree, I was just saying that it's easier to suspend your disbelief for Cathay than it is for Kislev and that there were a few reasons beyond woke points for including mixed sex units, another reason is that women sell well in Asia.
>>551463825>elves
thrones of britannia has no dlc? is it bad?
>>551463364NORSCA IS MONKEY, AND RETURN TO MONKEY IS GOOD
>>551463869You can care if it occurs in historical games. In fantasy games you can fuck right off.
>>551449616>there's a fucking pandaren in the heroes sectionKEK
So necron LL are two corrupted retards that can't work together ever or are there more
>>551464004It's a saga title, that means small budget. Troy only got DLC because they more than made their money back from the Epic deal. Thrones flopped and didn't have a backroom deal with Epic and so was abandoned.
>>551464023>In fantasy games you can fuck right ofI'll stay where I am, coomer.
>>551464012i blame tarriff for this
>>551464173You care so much about people enjoying things you dont like. You sound woke.
>>551449616>Western modders like Eustace just use an in-game image of the unit for the card>Random chinkoid modders add dozens of units all with their own untraced unit cards that are semi-fitting with the vanilla game.It's clear the gunpowder units are supposed to be used with that popular unit card mod but the rest look relatively normal.
>>551463869>east slavicIt just Russia + Poland. All other similarities exist only because Slavic cultures are similar.
>>551463997Yes.
>>551464530No they have positive aspects which he is not allowed to associate with Russia in current year.
>>551464530>Praag, the Cursed CityObviously modelled after Prague, the Scam City
>>551464268That's ironic, woke people are notorious for being coombrained degenerates.
>>551464193You should.Now excuse me while I run fifty Marauder Bearmen into you and make you a homosexual.
how fun are slaanesh, beastmen and khorne for new players? :-)
>>551465369Slaanesh and Beastmen need too much micro and Khorne has shitty mechanics even if he's really simply in battles.
>>551445924Idk about Rome 2, but you can absolutely see the whole building tree in Attila. You just have to right click on the building slot.
>>551464927Its inclusion always seemed strange to me. Prague is central Europe. And Praag takes absolutely zero inspiration from it. Literally any other Polish or Russian-inspired name for the city would have been much more appropriate.
Is it true that if you pause you didn't beat the game?
>>551465369Khorne is not good for new players unless they are hyper aggressive, and even then it probably takes more micro since Khorne has limited ranged>>551465989If you don't goon once per hour to the porn I like, that I won't tell you what it is, you have not beat the game
Other than my Greenies I am much more likely to pick a faction if it has hot women in it
>>551463364Modern propaganda couldn't give you brain damage since you never had a brain. You win that one, "bro".Protip: the quotation marks indicate that I don't actually consider you a bro.
>>551465369Khorne is a decent new player faction. Just avoid getting overwhelmed on the economy side and you'll be in for a fun timeSlaanesh is fun but not a great new player factionIdk about Beastmen I don't own them cause they smell bad
>>551465369>SlaaneshDon't play N'kari you have enemies on all fronts, no allies, expensive armies, and sieges everywhere>KhorneThe whole raze system is going to be very unintuitive worst beginner faction possible>BeastmemeGood
>>551466119Dechala is a lot easier for newbies.
Guardswoman reporting for duty!
>>551466824The newest content is probably good for newbies I think. Norsca for sure is good no?
>>551466936I wouldnt say sayl is either of the others is. Yes dechala is better for newbies
>>551466837I've never seen that particular abhuman before
>>551466936Norsca has a good balance for aggression and, at least until nerfs happen, good stats for the variety fo units, newbies will be able to do it.
Loyal abhumans should be cherished and protected
so who has the worst start out of all the legendary lords?
>>551467313This, they are for befriending and cherishing :)
>>551467002>>551467296Yeah, Sayl is definitely too gigamind. Honestly a good bunch of factions are new player-doable. It's not just the gay shit like High Elves and Cathay. It's just gonna make new players fuck off because they're just so uninteresting.There should be an updated list of factions for them. Everyone recommends these two all the time.
>>551462047In a generationally long war you need women safe and stable to be able to produce offspring and sustain your population as the war drags on. If you're sending women into battle, they aren't able to make replacements for the people killed, and your population collapses. Only the exceedingly desperate mobilize women into frontline fighting positions and always as a last-ditch hail mary when the possibility of total destruction is so imminent that demographic preservation becomes irrelevant.You realistically see women in combat roles in tribal societies, where a tribe of a few hundred or thousand people faces extinction after a single lost battle. You see it in homeland defense situations, where women are pressed to defend their town or estate from raiders when the men are away on campaign.You don't see it in situations where a medieval empire is faced with generations of successive, intermittent invasion from a perennial threat, because you'd run out of new soldiers pretty quickly if women were dying on the frontline.
So... when are we gonna get further news about the greatest game of all time?
>>551467313Very wholesome image I can't wait to see what other things are in the artists portfolio!
Fuck the LLs, which minor faction should I play as?
>>551467313Is that the fucking blind bat people from All Tomorrows?
>>551467623Chess? You can just put 'Chess News' in google.
>>551467623Bloodborne was done a long time ago
>>551465972czechs are slavs
we've a big fuckin orc problem here
I don't get Kislev. I've tried playing them a bunch of times but it feels like every unit except for Armored Kossars sucks. The Lore of Ice sucks too.Am I retarded or is this true?
but I've come up with a scheme to solve it on a sustainable scale
Okay this Cathay overhaul kicks ass. Sure it's a scripted battle in that an event causes the armies involved to spawn but i've never seen a cheat do this.
>>551468372is that Eminem (Cathay)?
>>551467313tfw no cute nightsider gf
>>551468487The mod overhauls every aspect including visuals. I believe this is one of the new Magistrate reskins.
Theres something funny about the 40k Empire being way way way more xenophobic but being way more chill with mutations than the Fantasy one
>CA is not funn-ACK6 77
>>551469015Genetic mutations aren't chaos mutations
>>551467737I sure hope he hasn't drawn a bunch of children being eaten alive by orks, that would be gross.>>551467812They're different interpretations of the non-specific categorization of nightsider abhumans, abhumans adpated to low light conditions in general.
>>551467737>>551469737I sure hope he hasn't drawn Power Girl sexually assaulting an underaged Wonder Woman. That would be weird.
>>551468372The mod is good but I can't be arsed to control the scripted northern expedition armies
>>551467541There is one problem with that line of thinking: women can't produce offspring on their own. If all your men are constantly fighting, there is nobody to impregnate those women.The most efficient way to keep numbers up would be to either rotate both genders between being on and off duty, and only hold up women off duty longer if they get pregnant. Or you can do what Ukraine is doing and letting men impregnate women before being sent to war by increasing the conscription age.
>>551460957Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan are the only real "easy" lords there because they have prime real estate and obvious expansion routes from the get go, Liu Bei primarily gets by with a fantastic suite of generals but only gives bonuses to early game units and Cao Cao is surrounded on all sides so mid-game can be tough
>>551469546I bet that if this retarded shit was 6 9 instead, 12-year olds here would be thinking the sex position was named after it.
>>551469015>niggress is a mutantUh...
>>551462047That's true of every single nation though. My issue with it is a case of the volume. I do not mind female legendary lords - it's in the name, historical or fantasy inspiration is full of it. I don't mind highly elite heroes either - same deal. I don't mind a very thematically appropriate unit like sisters of Avelorn, or amazonian inspired options. Where it is a bridge too far for me is co-gender rank and file units that have more gender egalitarianism in numbers than a modern day European army.Also, to be frank I am just not 'comfortable' with the idea of sending women off to mass slaughter as poor bloody infantry. Comfort in the sense that it's so fucking weird and ridiculous for me to take seriously. Especially in a medieval context where you don't have modern technologies to mitigate the sex differences, nor magical enhancements to do so (Elf women and men are likely more similar in physique given their exceptional agility and all).Kislev is generally fine to me: The women are in the nomadic units where life on the steppe does not care one wiff of normal gender dynamics, the iceguard are amazonian motif. Cathay and it's every single gunpowder unit and half of the jade warrior rank and file (possibly celestial guards, never checked). It's ridiculous. The idea of cathay just treating their people as mass cannon fodder feels like a retroactive justification that hasn't been conveyed in the lore except "The dragons have the power of life and death over their subjects and are worshipped slavishly" - yeah so is the Tzarina, so are Bretonnian knights so why aren't peasant women used in the same way?

Alright after playing some non dwarf factions for a while I have realised that dwarfs are kind of op
>>551471382YES!
I have the Empire Knights cheat that has all the chapters. I can recruit foot knights, but for some reason they are greyed out and I don't know why, saying "I cannot recruit them." Anyone seen this?
how bad is my boy
you ever notice how total warhammer has no black people in ithowd they get away with that
>>551472419Tomb Kings are right there
>>551472494you shut the fuck up
Which Greenskin has the most fun campaign? They're a the faction I have played a lot, but never done a long victory as. I just get too bored near the end.
>>551458214The female gunners aren’t the problem.The dragons are.
>>551470239Sure, you need both sexes for reproduction, but there is a MASSIVE disparity between the amount of input required from women and men for the reproductive process. A man literally only needs a single night, a woman will be debilitated for the majority of the year. After conception, a man is a viable soldier the very next day.In addition, while it is a rather inglorious low to stoop to, one man is capable of fathering multiple children with different women simultaneously. The reverse of this is not possible except in exceedingly rare medical cases. If half of your male population dies in a war, the remainder is still perfectly capable of impregnating the entire female half, albeit likely with some negative effects on social cohesion and genetic variety due to women having to share men. You can, theoretically, still achieve birth rates comparable to those pre-war.If half your FEMALE population dies in a war, even if the male population is untouched, maintaining your pre-war birth rate is no longer physically possible. Women can only gestate so many kids at one time, even if you did force the men to share.Men are objectively more disposable in a wartime scenario simply due to these facts.
>>551472419da BRAJJ
Why did my doomseekers survive the entire battle on 1/5th health and do 500 kills despite not microing them?
>>551473404Because they fear success.
how big are the chances for The Lad to appear?
>>551472419To compensate they will make Karl Franz black in 40k
>>551472858Asia has a long history IRL of women training for war specifically in case an invasion happens while all the menfolk are away fighting. Scythians, Japanese, Vietnam, etcetera.Cathayan women mostly use firearms (the great equalizer) and Kislevite women seem to mostly use magic, so physical capabilities aren’t so important.Female soldiers are not the problem here and if you pretend otherwise it’s obvious why.But there is a problem with Kislev and Cathay. Kislev is better, but the BEARS ICE BEARS and the removal of things like the Gospodar/Ungol conflict don’t help. Cathay is just goofy, in particular I hate the terracotta giants. And their entire society revolving around the dragons. I preferred Dragon Emperor just being what they called their (human) monarch.
Idk if I can do it ladsWhat the hell is this monstrous horde thing anyway? I assume it's the new dlc mechanic?
>>551474142More likely than you think. Less likely than he should.

>accidentally killed my own spearmen by casting a spell too closeYou're not really playing TWW if you aren't doing this tbqh
Loremaster of Sotek knows what is coming.
>>551474696I use a mod that disables obstruction but not friendly fire.Your unintentional spells aren't shit. I put my Empire Spearmen into combat with some Chosen and then fire Ironsides into their back. No i'm not a Skaven i'm a man-thing.
>>551472682>Grimgormild ballbuster of a start, super strong neighbors that hate you. Grimgor is pretty good winning duels (although you start next to 2 of the ~4 LL's who'll make it hard). Doesn't get much in the way of scaling strength like other LL's, and his "ideal" army comp is made to be countered.>Azhagmy old favorite but lately is a ballbuster. Ice Court, Slayers, Chorfs, even Drycha can be a pain. Strong foes in all directions who will not wait for you. Also doesn't get much, and later DLC's have removed the two big things that made Azhag unique (flying, death magic). >WurrzagKairos, Manny, and Thorek can all be a real pain. I haven't played his campaign long enough to see but the landmarks megaboost magic faction-wide, so that could be neat and keep you wanting to play to long vic.>SkarsnikNot too challenging of a start, but dealing with Thorek can go sideways, then Mors and Rictus on opposite ends. Gets ludicrously strong once you hold 8 peaks, will probably get bored since you just get faction-wide stalk stance iirc.>GromMaybe your best pick. Not too spikey in difficulty and once you've taken Ulthuan the world is your oyster, go in any direction, although I think his victory conditions changed from WH2 and you have to trek far to the world's edge mountains and southlands.>GorbadLooks solid, never played him. Probably similar to starting situation to Skarsnik, maybe a bit easier, but I can't see his mechanic being nearly as busted as Skarsnik's.
>>551474696>accidentallyIt's called collateral. They were helping to make sure the enemy was grouped up for maximum damage.
>>551474229As emergency militia, not regular front line combatants.Cathay has female melee units, as does kislev.
>>551470256I got thousands of ours in the game I just wanted a random suggestion for a fresh campaign
>>551472329he bad
>>551461093The real life societies kislev and cathay are based on weren't known for making widespread use of women on the battlefield, what makes them any better suited for this?
>>551472329He gets universally worse effects than Archaon and his compensation for this fact is that he can have more than 6 daemon units per army.
>>551476681Cathay has harmony (Yin-Yang) as a mechanic and Russian women are hot
>>551449616I love this mod; it's an infantry lover's wet dream
>>551476681>>551476993Cathay would be fine if the units were split purely ranged and melee. Have all ranged units be female and all melee units be male, Jade Warriors and Celestial Dragons shouldn't be mixed gender.I don't care about Kislev.
Is there a mod to make ai armies feel the pain of attrition? When I walk through chaos corruption it's hell, but for them its just gentle breeze.

When is that kairos bug going to be fixed
To the anon that recommended me Endless Space 2 from here, how do you deal with the AI on harder difficulties? It feels like they expand way too quick no matter what I do and when I try that Im resource and dustlocked, I play United Empire btw so I heard they went to build wide, anyways Total War
>>551479415Go wide and try to be diplomatic with them, build up a solid empire and fix your armada laterUnless it's the cravers, then you rush the techs for better ships and build nothing but ships until they're wiped out
>>551478518Taurox was, or is, easymode smash solo-hero like Skarbrand.Tamurkhan is kind of the same way but he's got fun options, he's basically nurgle + because you can get diverse chieftains to lead who get unique units (IE some chorf shit, some beastmen or norscan shit).Belakor is fun with his portals
>>551479415ES2 is rightful /civ4x/ clay.Anyway you need better ships.
>>551479703I tried it but got the shit end by being next to the Vaulters and they just outexpanded me like crazy, I only managed to get 1 settlement despite rushing for more and they overwhelmed me>>551479792I made my exploration ship into a fleet to attack them but they just outpaced me and bought a pirate mark I couldnt afford so I was at war on 2 fronts with only 2 systems, also I prefer talking here
>>551478518>Beastmemes are pretty easy but their campaigns are completely different. Play Khazrak to learn how they play.>Bretonnia is really not new player friendly faction.>Forget it exists.>Dwarfs are good. But i dont recommend them to a new player beause their auto resolve is really player favoured. If you get used to their autoresolve power you will struggle with other races.>Greenies are fun. Skarsnik and Gorbad is recommended.>Khorne is very OP. But it will teach you to the game i suppose. So yeah give it a try.>He is fun but play very differently from other liggers. >GOod campaign, recommended.>Same as above. >Greasus has a good campaign. >Slaanesh requires a lot of micro on the battlefield. And their autoresolve is very weak. So give it a try but dont get discouraged if you fail.>Elspeth is good but Empire requires combined arms on the field.>Arkhan is pretty easy for you to learn Tomb Kangs.>Hard campaign unless you know how to teleport to Bretonnia. Not a recommended campaign for newbies.>Ikit has nukes. Play him to learn how rats' campaign mechanics work. Tretch is how you suppoed to play Skaven tho>Vcoast is not recommended for newbies. Too much jank, very weak units. >World War Z simulator. If you dont mind playing every battle manually you can drown the world with zombies. GFive it a try untill you get bored.>Warriors of Chaos is good for newbies i think. Play Valkia for a more vanilla experience.>Wood elves are kinda like beastmen. Very strong on the field but wont teach you how to play the game. Play Durthu to try them out.
>>551480027>Vaulters >outexpandedYou should build another settler ship as the second or third build in every system.
>>551478518Ghorst, Arbaal, Taurox and Ungrim should be newbie proof.Vampire Coast is not for beginners, be prepared to lose if you play them.
>>551480196>every second or third shipI guess I havent tried that I usually try to build up my first system is it wrong if I restart depending on the system layout
>>551480510>every second or third shipEvery second or third overall creation, you fix the basic production and food building and maybe the basic science and dust building then you make another settlerThe sooner you get additional colonies and systems the sooner they can progress and become industrial powerhousesI usually restart a couple of times until I get a starting system that isn't trash
>>551479782>>551480168>>551480312blyatiful stuff ladsgod bless you threeI might pick up a lord out of all of the ones you lads recommend. Arkhan, Khazrak, Tretch, Arbaal, Skarsnik and Ghorst are pretty interesting so far.
>>551480757One last question, every guide tells me to rush the Exchange and Buyout but that leaves me low on food, is it really a good idea to rush that?
>fucking around with caravans as Cathay>basically free money>get to recruit fun units like a squad of gyrocopters into my expeditionThis mechanic rules wtf
>>551481929I don't think it's worth rushing, I've always preferred focusing on production and growth instead of economy but you should definitely get the exchange and buyout relatively early
>>551482147There's a reason there's mods that give them to basically every order faction.
>>551482147Warhammer 3 would be better if every faction had a caravan desu, I play Chorfs because their caravans are more fun meanwhile Cathay outside the caravan system is shit
>>551453027Depends on how many character packs they planning for Cathay.
>anons love the idea of playing one faction but being able to recruit from another>adds allied recruitment but with a shitty capTCA is incompetent kek
Is there any restriction on Bretonia getting to ally recruit gunpowder units from other factions?I just imagined this and it made me laugh>We Bretonias do not use gunpowder as we see it as dishonorable>Fortunately our brothers from The Empire don't have this problem
Its just all seems boring to me now... only factions i ever find myself playing are teclis or kairos...
>>551483294This but Miao and Sisters of Twilight.

I stopped playing Total War completely except in the co-op campaign some friends and I play once every week or twoWe started a High Elf co-op game that's surprisingly fun, but every time I try to play anything Total War by myself I'm just bored
>new Discord raid
>>551483140Technically, I believe the restriction is against using gunpowder on Bretonnian soil.Hence why the navy has cannons.
>>551484370That lore is outdatedBut also really cool and I wish some modder would make it into a faction
>>551469826I sure would hate to see that
>>551452107There is nothing to talk about
>>551452107Theres currently a Discord raid btw of people talking about other games and saying Total War is boring, definitely organic posting happening rn
>>551484573If I was making a Bretonnian gunpowder faction, I would make some knight from Sigmarsheim who uses a carbine from horseback and has a bunch of imported Nuln cannons that his fellow Sigmarsheimers lug around.If anybody complains, he just uses the same logic as Slayers who are too skilled with firearms: He'd be gimping himself dishonorably if he showed up without one.

>>551486036GrimgorHe's been a complete menace for the whole trilogy and I hate having to fight him at all because I know he's one of the LLs I can and have actually lost to
>>551470239One man can hypothetically impregnate hundreds of women a year, but one woman can only produce one offspring every year no matter the circumstances. Obviously that kind of genetic bottleneck is not ideal, but a population can survive it. The viability of a population is measured directly in the size, health and genetic diversity of its women members. When women start dying, the demographic pyramid collapses very quickly. This is the main reason that cultures throughout history have gendered warfare--not because they intuitively understood the biological reality but because those that did not died out.Fun fact: since parts of our genome are present purely on the X or the Y chromosome, we can track ancestry to determine prehistoric bottlenecks of genetic diversity. Most human populations have survived at least one, and in some cases several bottlenecks in lale genetic diversity in pre-recorded history. In other words, events (such as warfare) where almost all of a male population died out but the female population survived, and the overall population ultimately recovered to pass their genes down to modern humans.

In fact we see them eat humans in the game and kill cities worth of their own people in the short stories without any concernThe Cathayans still breed like Skaven even with the dragons dragging tons of women off to war, there really are just that many Cathayans that it doesn't matter how many lives the dragons spend on wars, dangerous caravans, warpstone experiments, failed colonial efforts or other nonsense For every soldier you see there's probably thousands of civilians
>>551487294To reach that point you'd need to suffer a truly cataclysmic percentage of casualties per generation.The first world war saw germany and france each only lose about 4% of their total population in casualties. The second world war saw the soviet union lose about 13% and germany lose 8%, casualties also overwhelmingly male.
>>551487892>The dragons genuinely do not care if some of their teeming hordes of faceless disposable humans diethis.cahay peasants are expendable for a reason.
>>551487892>The dragons genuinely do not care if some of their teeming hordes of faceless disposable humans die, they care about Cathay as a whole and possibly they care about certain specific humans, but they do not care enough about the majority of their people.This doesn't make any sense. If I have infinite men, I have no need to make use of inferior women to supplement them.Putting women in the units isn't just unnecessary, it's intentionally gimping the military for no reason.

>>551488145ExactlyCathay isn't Bretonnia, there's no religious mandate that makes the peasantry expendable, but they still areClearly this means the default is that humans are expendableWhat makes Jade Warriors, Crane Gunners etc. non-expendable is the time and resources spent training the humans, human life has no inherent value to the Cathay dragonsMiao executes all the bureaucrats in a city because they got infiltrated by the fucking Changeling and Yuan Bo just watched her do it, human lives are worthless to the dragons>>551488204>If I have infinite men, I have no need to make use of inferior women to supplement them.They don't care, they're arrogant immortals and their system is working well enoughThe differences between male and female is probably a lot less meaningful to a dragon. Think of it like livestock. A male horse is stronger than a female horse but you still just see them as a horseA hairless monkey who dies today because it was a weaker female monkey would have died in a few decades anyway, it doesn't matter

>>551489340>Think of it like livestock.You use livestock of different sexes for different purposes, I'm not getting my milk from a bull, I'm not using a cow as a stud.It's not that the dragons are thinking of humans as livestock, it's that the dragons aren't thinking at all, they're just scaly shapeshifting retards.
best pokemon LLs?
>>551489921Miniature chaos warrior is my favorite honestly.
some anon posted this years ago for wh2, is it still valid for wh3?
>dragons actually think that xyz million humans all who have the potential to use magic and kill are useless livestockyou don't believe this, right? it OBJECTIVELY makes no sense.
>>551490574Skaven are evergreen. To this day there still isn't a better faction than Ikit nor a better unit than Ratling Guns.
>High Lords actually think that xyz billion humans all who have the potential to use magic and kill are useless livestockyou don't believe this, right? it OBJECTIVELY makes no sense.
>>551489921I know a guy.
>>551490556>bring your son to work day
Something I liked a lot in TWW1 and 2 is the slow build/ramp period before you were fighting your main enemy. In TWW3 by turn 5 its fuck you here's a fuck huge blob and if you don't finish it in 3-4 turns your fucked because there's 2 more blobs to right around the corner. No build up.
>>551490756>Skaven are evergreen. hehe
>40k baitKill yourself.
>>551490574Skaven haven't really changed in WH3 so at the very least they aren't any worse than they would be in 2I think the person who made this is over-valuing Stormvermin and Clan Rats though, especially since you can just summon them>>551490593Listen to Yuan Bo's voicelines and read the short stories, especially the Shadows of Change one
So what happened to this?
Damn, Imrik seems like the best lord to throw Caradryan into. Synergizes well with Mikaela and the whole fire resist shit for your army. Just being able to throw down firestorms and burning head willy nilly.What's the best LL/Lord to buff Swordmasters the most?
>>551491039there's 9 dragon children canonically. Yuan Bo's voice acting in a secondary source (videogame, not tabletop) isn't meaingful.
>>551491080It's not set in End Times it just takes stuff from End TimesThere's been End Times units in the game since WH2
>>551491270endtimes stuff since wh1 actually, ghorst is an endtimes character
im not gonna lie, endtimes are great. I love this high fantasy stuff, I just wish it could let me kill the gods themselves.
more like total poor loltotal bore lmaototal snore rofl
>>551491169Eltharion and Aislann, they give them expert charge defense or vanguard deployment + a bit of stat bonuses but a generic doctrinal/resistant lord can give them more direct stat buffs than a legendary lord.
wtf, cathay is actually fun
why dont wood elves do anything with fairys? Is that just something only demons can have with nruglings or something?
>>551493725Always was
>>551493889They're called spites and you do not want to deal with them unless you absolutely need to even if you're an elf.
>>551488765my gf
>>551490574you are a larpoid.
>>551487396>it's just men of warisn't it that one game with the painful inventory shit that you gotta manage and it's a clusterfug?
>>551495883You can manage unit inventories if you want but all resources are resupplied from generic supply containers and infantry usually doesn't live long enough that you'd bother to meticulously reequip them with stuff from dead people.
Why does the game punish you so hard for wanting to use more than 5% of the roster?>here, build this chain that costs 10000 shekels, provides zero other bonuses than recruitment, to get a worse version of a unit you can probably already recruitIt's honestly baffling to me that most people are okay with the current recruitment system of almost all factions outside woc,chorfs and nurgle.
Anyone have color autism that doesn't allow them to enjoy certain factions? Imrik for me. I hate red and green on white. Looks like shit.
Anyone play Master of Command? Looks kinda cool. Not sure if it's worth what they're asking though.
>>551497006Too little unit variation; battle gets samey very quick
>>551496892One of the reasons I don't play alternaive LL's for certain factions is becaue it changes the color of the army.Like If I have bretonnians that AREN'T red and blue like the king intended I am going to scream.
Is there a mod which makes Kislev look less like a warcraft faction of buff men and glowy shit?
>>551497692Just play empire bro.
Bruh dwarves are completely overpowered i have to 2 vs 1 stack with my highest tier units and i take heavy losses too

>>551498414In times long gone.
Is there any mod that allows Imrik to hunt his dragons after confederation? Forced to Play Eltharion because all the imrik recolor mods dont work anymore.
>>551498651Best I can do is https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2853185162

i bet you were posting that same shit throughout christmas, you lonely fuck
who are you talking to?
Me
I only play coomer mods
Eltharion or Imrik? What's the better of the two campaign wise?
>>551500907I always preferred Imrik
Still Christmas for 5 more minutes where I live. Merry Chirstmas bros, looking forward to a whole new year of coomposting
>>551500610What faction are you currently using coomer mods with?
>>551499607I will now play cathay.
>>551501415Cathay of course
>>551501415the beastman rape mod is a great fun.
>>551501415
>>551487892>Gospodars are LITERALLY order-aligned Chaos Warriors (both come from the same ancestors) so they're quite literally built different from weakling southernersThisI recently ambushed them and they simply refused to retreat when I killed their leader and raped half of my army. Fighting Kislev is a pain in the ass.
>>551502157What does it even do?
>>551502498in battle rape animations
>want to play cathay again>annoying rats>the other cathay faction blocking the whole southern expansion>friendly ogres blocking western expansionsigh...
>>551502708just pick the green chinamen LL
>>551502708Nig, play Zhao. Get ogres in your armies. Enjoy Greasy and Gelt as bestfriends. Confederate your sister, reclaim the wall. Set sail to the east and spread chinese culture to Lustria or Africa or wherever the fuck you want nigger there's a sea lane right there.
>>551502387I look like this
Every faction has the LL that has a strat that gives them an insane start in ten turns or less. Tyrion, for example, can rush the SoK and become unbeatable, or Ikit can cheese tier V Skavenblight in 8 turns.What character does this for the lizardmen, and how strong can they be?
>>551502708Rush the snitches
Man after all this time, Dragon Princes still suck dick. Why? What can be changed to fix them?
>>551503456Everytime I play Zhao the Greaseball raids my caravans despite being my best friend :((
>>551503724Thorek after getting a military alliance with Kroq. Superior dwarven economy and frontline units can actually support and synergize with dinosaurs.
>>551503946Aside from the AI spawn-in factions, greasus never attacked my caravans directly ever.
>>551503946You're supposed to use the raid event to rid your caravan army of peasants and fill them with high level troops. You get troops during travel and get one guaranteed troop upon reaching the destination
TW40K News, when?
>>551475083Gorbad runs into the issue that he needs to tech fast into anti armor for the dawi but also needs to not leave his pants down for the Skaven.
>>551504278Like 4 to 6 months bro
>>551504325I find selling a province for a NAP with queek works out pretty good until you can take care of Thorgrim. If Skarsnik loses to him, you have to deal with Ungrim shortly after. Azhag usually jobs to Ungrim everytime I play greenskins and crushes him when I play kislev.
>>551503825Cavalry has just never been any good in warhammer. There's too many things that can go wrong for them and even optimal usage is underwhelming.
gorgood the comfyhand
>>5515042782026. February probably?>>551503825You can make them fine with Caledor seat and their techs. They get like 10 or 15 MA, 10 MD, charge bonus, missile resist, speed, -13% upkeep, basically everything is boosted.

>>551505301Giving silver-helms some pink bits doesn't make them a new unit anon
Isn't it almost impossible to lose in this game? Couldn't you just build tall in your single province and fend off any and all attacks?
>>551506617yes and you can also reload saves or use cheats
>>551506617You can spam deeps as the dwarves I guess. Throgrim's zone is a fucking ghetto
Never player Eltharion. Is he any fun? His VA seems cool. Kind of want to play with the new units and since ive never played as him, the mistwalkers will also be new. Double the new shit!I'm not interested in abandoning his dual start either, I want to play it out and see what happens.
>>551506886I like him, also never abandoning his dual start.Mistwalkers are really cool
>>551505425Sure bro, pink bits (regeneration) (perfect vigour) (frenzy) (doubled stats)

>>551507431https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2965870624&searchtext=ellyrionThe mod tells you what the new units are and what they do, and the only new units in that army is one single unit of reaver knights (pic related) and the LLEverything else are spearmen, silver helms, ellyrion reavers, and ellyrion reaver archers
>>551496625>Why does the game punish you so hard for wanting to use more than 5% of the roster?The actual game doesn't. The problem is that you haven't graduated the tutorial babbymode and started playing the game, dumb singlcel.
>>551496625Maybe you are just bad? I always use 80% of the roster on vh/vh
>>551507785Might as well install an instant victory mod with a busted unit like that
>play Cathay>can't go back to empire because the roster is boring as shit and a pure sausage fest for gaysI guess thats the curse of having played the best faction
>>551508126>I beat impossible with the dogshit blaster 9000 so it's actually the best weapon in the gameWhy do I see so many retards in so many games that think winning using objectively bad equipment/units/tactics somehow makes it good?
>>551508263DRAGON hands typed this post.
>>551508263They added elspeth as token pandering for you coomers.
>>551508126Then you are not playing optimally. I play exclusively on VH/L and the problem isn't difficulty it's shit game design. All the mechanics in the game point you to spam couple units the whole campaign. You can use more than that, but you are only making the campaign take more turns.>>551507901Imagine choosing warhammer as your multiplayer game.

>>551509380>Get punished by spending a tiny amount of your basically infinite money
>>551508630They really struck gold with miao ying. The only LL I finished multiple campaigns with. I have high expectations for Yin-Yin.
>>551509380Always having a weaker economy, worse settlement building layout and weaker army later than what you would have playing optimally is being punished.

>>551509589Nothing about that is hard punishment, if you are not bad at the game.
>>551509534Same, I love playing Miao but also Zhao.Yuan Bo is too 'perfect' for my taste, he's the great genius tactician, master spellcaster, super spymaster, executioner of the emperor yada yada.I'm really looking forward to Li Dao and Yin Yin but also Monkey Boi, will be fun for sure
>>551509380Way to miss the point champ, which was that the core gameplay mechanics should encourage varied unit roster rather than just spamming same 1-5 units.And please stop talking as if you are some hot shit, we are talking about a nerdy fantasy strategy videogame and you only come across as an autistic sperg.

What a pathetic victory bonus you get for Dechala's final battle. Aislinn gets another ship and whooping 50% discount on dragonship buildings while she gets a pathetic discount on unit corruptions when you should be swimming in money by the time you get the battle anyway. However I saw chinks kneel before me en masse so maybe that was the true victory bonus.
