Something 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.

I 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.
>>551457797

Yeah. 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.

>>
>>551456967
I agree. It feels like they are trying to port pandering AoS trash into the old warhammer instead of making something that is actually fitting
>>
>>551458885
But 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.
>>
>>551459426
I meant that only the first game was like that. Starting with TWW2 the vibe was more fantasy-like
>>
>>551459426
In 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.
>>
>>551459259
Weren't female leaders completely nonexistent in total war until rome 2?
>>
>>551459759
>proudest achievement was Cathay
And 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.

Cathay 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
>>
>>551459872
Female 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.

Female leaders exist since Medieval 2. If a priest with the secretly female trait becomes pope then she's the leader of the papal states.
>>
>>551460456
The 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".
>>551460645
Agreed, but I see no issue with them being present in Fantasy or Sci-Fi
>>551460765
In 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.
>>
>>551459712
There 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.
>>
>>551460456
This
Kislev 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

There'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.

>>551461626
I 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.
>>
>>551453289
I 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.
>>
>>551461626
I 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 industry
But 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.

Kislev maybe but Cathay has a huge fuck ton wall that doesn't get breached that often.

I 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.

The 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.

No, 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.

>>551462047
In 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.

There 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.

Sun 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

That'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?

Sure, 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.

Asia 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.

>Grimgor
mild 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.
>Azhag
my 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).
>Wurrzag
Kairos, 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.

Not 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.

Maybe 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.
>Gorbad
Looks 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.

He gets universally worse effects than Archaon and his compensation for this fact is that he can have more than 6 daemon units per army.

Cathay 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.

im a newbie, but im having a blast with the game
how are the following lords? i'd love to play them desu but not sure how viable they are for newbies

>Khazrak, Taurox, Morghur
>Louen Leoncoeur, Alberic de Bordeleaux
>Daemon of Chaos
>Thorgrim Grudgebeard, Ungrim Ironfist, Belegar Ironhammer
>Gorbad, Grimgor, Skarsnik

>Kairos
>Ikit Claw, Tretch Craventail
>Luthor Harkon, Noctilus
>Helman Ghorst
>Vilitch, Be'lakor, Azazel, Valkia
>Durthu, Drycha

obviously you don't need to name them all but these are the ones im most interested in
>>
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
>>
>>551479415
Go wide and try to be diplomatic with them, build up a solid empire and fix your armada later
Unless it's the cravers, then you rush the techs for better ships and build nothing but ships until they're wiped out
>>
>>551478518
Taurox 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
>>
>>551479415
ES2 is rightful /civ4x/ clay.
Anyway you need better ships.
>>
>>551479703
I 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
>>551479792
I 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
>outexpanded
You should build another settler ship as the second or third build in every system.
>>
>>551478518
Ghorst, 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 ship
I 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 ship
Every 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 settler
The sooner you get additional colonies and systems the sooner they can progress and become industrial powerhouses
I usually restart a couple of times until I get a starting system that isn't trash

I 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

There's a reason there's mods that give them to basically every order faction.

If 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.

One 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 such a society, the women themselves are working to support their children because they literally have no other choice.
Child raising becomes more communal as certain women are dedicated to raising their own children and those of their neighbors while their female neighbors are busy working essential jobs that there are not enough men to fulfill.

Gospodars are LITERALLY order-aligned Chaos Warriors (both come from the same ancestors) so they're quite literally built different from weakling southerners
They're desperate enough to need to use female troops and their female troops are just straight up better than Imperial or Bretonnian ones would be

>Cathay
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.
In fact we see them eat humans in the game and kill cities worth of their own people in the short stories without any concern
The 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
>>
>>551487294
To 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.

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.
>>
>>551487663
They're all good by virtue of being characters riding carnosaurs/ancient stegadons. Just drop meteors on stuntie blobs or use beast buffs/debuffs

>>
>>551487663

Exactly
Cathay isn't Bretonnia, there's no religious mandate that makes the peasantry expendable, but they still are
Clearly this means the default is that humans are expendable
What 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 dragons
Miao 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 enough
The 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 horse
A hairless monkey who dies today because it was a weaker female monkey would have died in a few decades anyway, it doesn't matter

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.

You'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

I 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.

Then 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.

Way 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. This general is filled with players better than you, they just have the self-awareness to not boast about it.

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.

If you can have nigger guardsmen (because you are recruiting from a nigger world), then there's nothing stopping you from having some nigger sisters too. Besides, romancing the nigger sister first is advised, as she increases your physical strength, which lets you train sister Eveline better.

Never played him cause he's so ugly and makes annoying licky noises like a retard.
Does he even get a mount?

Don't get me wrong, they are a cool faction and core to the setting.
I just hate playing them. All the cool units take way too long to get, the area is annoying to navigate, your allies are useless, etc.

My armies are mostly quarrelers and warriors with shields. I figured since i'm mostly fighitng skaven and orcs anti-infantry would be best. Also a handufl of hammerers thrown in there. my second army is a lot of RoR since it got wrecked p bad and I had to emergency recruit them. I also have Gortrek and Felix and about 3-4 other heroes among both my armies.

>building tall
I mostly built in my starting province and in Skarsnikk's lands since the badlands were under constant raiding by Gorbad and queek and then khorne to the north. Building tall seemed unviable to me since I thought you want to push fighitng and expansion to your limits to rake in money and power.

>urgold buildings
Anon that's the ONE building chain I never bothered to build because I didn't see much use in active urgold production. It's my second time playing dwarfs so it's my fault. I didn't spend most of my urgold anyway aside from some runes that increased missile damage due to my quarreler spam and one other rune I forgot about. The rest were mostly growth buildings or resource buildings.

Lots of Civ V has my mind stuck in this mindset where I should always be exploiting natural resources and building pastures over sheep sources, mines over iron, plantations over sugar cane, etc. Resource buildings seem to give me a good amount of gold and other discounts for certain units so I always prioritize giving them a build slot

I also never finished the underway in Karaz a karak because I needed the gold for armies and I often earn a lot of gold from a string of victories only to spend it all at once on building upgrades or tier-ups. It leaves me in a really vulnerable position that always gets me screwed over where my army takes too many hits and my lack of savings prevents me from recruiting which snowballs into disaster.


sorry it's been a whole day I've been pretty busy and my timezone is East Asia.

Anywway thanks for the (you)'s], fellas

Yeah, he gets the coolest mount. An Engine of the Gods. His one downside is that you can't Saurus Spam until you complete level one of his mechanic. After that you can spam the create follower button on his mechanic to not only get a load of the follower that increases lord recruit rank but also the one that reduces upkeep. He's very strong but limited by the fact that he has a much weaker earlygame than Gor-Rok and yet has to deal with Skrolk all the same.

Kilgore the khorne hero you can get gives everyone in an army +40 armour, that's probably the main one. They do die real easy normally, even with those stats they still only have 5k hp which limits how strong they could be.

I should also mention that I was saving money to get the deeps in Karak 8 peaks since it had special qualities. I'm still inexperienced so i'm probably going to start a new campaign. Each attempt gets faster and more succesful so I'm hoping I can find my stride and get a little further.

this is my capital province btw
