how to play brettonia
The last Legend of Total Baldness stream was an utter failure:1. He's grotesquely balding.2. His stream was taken down for copyright infringement.Next step: beating up his Asian wife again, getting divorced and losing half his money.
>>551657801horses go brrrrr
>>551657801you play on the hardest settings or you didn’t beat the game
>>551657801Summon 4 lords as fast as possible, rank them up and complete grail vows so you can actually afford knights, sack every city and ignore unchivalrous traits

I find the lack of miao ying in this thread disturbing
>>551657884>His stream was taken down for copyright infringement.LOTR music I assume. Didn't they add a streamer mode without copyrighted music?

Sorry for being late, friends.Thanquol soon, friends!
>>551658862there's nothing to discuss yet
>>551658627Feet
>>551658862The "popularity" of 40kids is an illusion created by 3.5 loud 40kids cultists who spam their """lore""" verbal diarrhea non-stop. The actual 40kids playerbase is relatively minuscule as proven by 99% of 40kids games being utter flops with abysmal dogshit player numbers and sales.Always keep this in mind when you see 40kids """activity""".

I enjoy these shitmanii battles, I have so much funIs there any mod I can use to make these battles more common?
>>551658742>froggy when posting
>>551659135Tabletop Caps I guess but there's no mod that caps armies to like 10 units.
>>551659135unit cap mods
Bretonnian peasants are the footfags of fantasy.I will not elaborate.
Is there a mod that just removes enemy agents from the game? It's very annoying for a level 30 hero to get yeeted because the AI knows its 10% chance to wound is going to hit.
>I will not elaborate.And you don't need to, I know exactly what you mean.
what happens to the custodes during end times?
>>551659514The female custodes are unable to defend the emperor because they were all going thru period cramps and get crushed.
>>551659135>Is there any mod I can use to make these battles more common?Yes, it's called donning the MPking mantle.
>>551659514They weren't mentioned, forgotten just like Tretch and Skarsnik
>>551659514Trazyn's war booty
Bretonnian nobles are the footfags of fantasy.I will elaborate.
Is there any instance of a bretonnia knight falling to chaos? Or is the Lady's flock simply superior to Sigmar's?
>>551659514When guilliman takes full power over the imperium he subjects the custodes to a series of humiliation rituals. Each custodes must now marry common women and watch them have sex with the people of terra. Renaming them forever to the cuckstodes.
>>551660309No. When Brets fall to corruption, it's vampiric.
>>551660531
I feel like Azhag the Slaughterer is underappreciated
>>551660663YJK
>>551660309A Bretonian Knight made a grail vow to kill Azazel, he became his slave upon meeting him.A bretonian baron tried to stop two Bloodthirsters from starting a war on his lawn, they beat him up and killed his army, then proceeded to kill eachother. The bloodthirsters were evenly matched, then the baron finished them both off, and Khorne made the baron a demon prince.
Why don't other races get KINO mods like walk with dragon?
>>551660960Western modders do it for patreon money, Eastern modders do it for passion.
Nefertatas soon, mortals!
>>551661105show her nefertitties, you coward
>>551660960Didn't Lizards get a cool dinos mod
>>551658498Yeah, typical CR bullshit.
>>551660960Lizards got Lost Calm which is equally awesome and was powered by nothing but a single autist with a dinosaur hyperfixation.But yeah I don't know why there aren't more mods that make campaigns more narratively inclined with events, scripted battles between massive armies etc.
>>551657884>Legend of Total War here. Welcome back to saving my disaster divorce battle. Today I'm going to try to keep custody of my kids while taking minimal balance of asset losses.

Hey, what's up twg?!I just took a fat bong rip and ate my ma's ass!Anyway, see ya!
>>551669281i don't think they're any bigger.1. they are the same people2. they are notoriously malnourished
>>551669475>they are the same peopleThe cultural difference between South and North Korea is enormous. They are completely different people at this point>they are notoriously malnourishedThe last famine was over 30 years ago, and North Koreans notoriously have chubby cheeks so idk. I think South Koreans are more malnourished with their crazy beauty standards. Overall I find North Korea very interesting but there is too much propaganda. There is too much contradictory information.
>>551659114HEARSAY!!*SPLASH*FOR THE BRINCE AND EMBEROR XD
>>551670591i mean genetically. also, the whole country is a caricature of animal farm. the chubby ones are literally the pigs
Hey, semi-noob here. Ungrim at Grom Peak suddenly alerts me he is gonna get his ass fucked by Azhag (who is rank 8 and the slayer king is 126 lol), paying me 2k gold to go to war with him. Seems a bit too late. Guess I should've been paying attention sooner, since it seems having factions stay alive for trading is important. I mean maybe it's not too late since AI with overwhelming force still seems to take many turns to finish a capital with no troops, but regardless I am wondering if the fastest way to get there is to go all around, because tunneling doesn't reach over the massive mountains? Is there a way to upgrade the distance or use The Deeps somehow, or dwarves simply can't cross over big mountains/gaps? Even Forest of Gloom is too far away to tunnel over. Also speak of Forest of Gloom, since it's Uninhabitable Climate, it's best to raze it, right? Or could I perhaps donate it to Ungrim to keep him alive as a trading slave lol?
Is he going to kill himself when tw40k launches with 500k concurrent players?
>you appear to be offlinebrehs....
>>551666298>Die expeditionNo!!!!!!! Live, expedition!
>>551671239Happens if you launch the game while doing any of the following:Have even a single mod activatedHave a VPN activeSteam set to offline mode
>>551671071Nice one, I kek'd.. but let's not kid ourselves. Nobody cares for 40k
>cuck marine 2>action coop game>225k players>barely above literal who gooner slop like stellar blade>nowhere near actually popular action coop games like monster hunter with its 1+ million players>40kuck strategy game>500kTry 50k instead, kiddo.
>>551666298Why? I suck at the battles and even I win when AR says I do.
>>551671458Anon I don't like 40k either but their fans will eat up any slop presented to them even if its clearly shit
>>551671071I'd say 500k is too high but 200-250k could be possible
>>551671612That's the thing, I have never once in my life seen a 40k fan. I don't think those are real.
>>551670887I mean in general too. Koreans are generally quite chubby on a genetic level. South Koreans would probably be like that too if it weren't for the insane popularity of plastic surgery.
>>551671612>their fans will eat up any slopIt doesn't matter what they eat, because they don't exist.
so why do people hate tretch? isn't he just okay? why don't more people hate clan pestilence instead? aren't they weaker?
>>551665046Why is legend retiring anyway?
>>551672006Tretch is extremely boring. It is the only playable clan that has absolutely nothing unique about it.
>>551672006He was an FLC no one wanted and absolutely no one expected when there were actual skaven characters missing.
>>551672192Tretch has the strongest stormvermin, their unique tech is making morskeks seethe lol
>>551671539Space Marine 2 lacks replayability and the progression loop isn't fulfilling. You don't get new weapons, you get the same weapons with better stats. You don't get new armour that changes how you play, you get currency to buy reskins. It takes maybe a week of grinding to max out one of the classes perk trees including prestiges. This means that unless you care about reskins or just really enjoy the actual combat, the game has maybe a month or two of gameplay. It's already been out for over a year so no wonder it has bled a lot of players. You shouldn't compare it to Monster Hunter as they're practically two different genres.
>>551671979225 thousands peak players is insane I really don't understand the argument you're trying to make
>>551671728you mean the round faces, yeah. that's their phenotype
>>551672373I don't really care about player bleed (MH has also bled a tremendous amount of players), I care about the peak and sales. SM2 is a coop game which is a HUGE market as there is a HUGE amount of normies who just want to mess around with their friends. Compared to the rest of the coop action game genre, cuck marine 2 might as well not exist.
>>551671979rogue trader having that many players is insane
I don't think Warhammer 40K will be a long term success.But it will succeed at least as long as Three Kingdoms did off of the deep pockets of the Model collectors who are fans of 40K.
I don't think
>>551670926The trading aspect is kinda negligible later on, so its not that important.You can just leave him, hes capable of making a comeback, and if things go poorly, you can just confederate him just before he gets wiped out.At least thats wat I did last time, but I was having playing super defensive and just building as tall as possible
>>5516719796 of the top 10 currently most played warhammer games are 40k games, 8 if you count all 3 total war warhammer as one game.
>>551672824You realize that 3K died because CA underestimated how hard to please the chinese market was and didn't seem to realize that under the CCP a lot of their history is looked back on with disdain.40K could be a long-term flop but I fail to see how it could possibly fail due to similar reasons as 3K
>>551672304Why the fuck are you even going to use stormvermin? They literally go against everything else the Skaven have. And Throt can improve them even better if you decide to go down that path.
>>551671979Why the fuck does Gladius have so many players? It sucks and having played both it and Battlesector I fail to see why anyone who's playing it for the 40k setting would choose Gladius.
>>551673054>underestimated how hard to please the chinese market was1. pretty girls2. sexy girls3. cute girls4. the most important part: gambling
>>551673181It's free
Wich way, IG boy?
>>551673227Yeah, standards are different for f2p pornsick skinnerboxes and a full priced grand strategy game.
>>551672483>225 thousands peak players is insaneIs this cultist child for real?
>>551671979>Blood bowlI remember playing the first one, that shit was fun
>>551673054My statement is that it will fail long term, not that it will fail for the reasons 3K did: 3K failed because TCA was lazy as fuck and gave us like three different unique Asians and it became painfully obvious that there needed to be at least 20 unique Asian generics just to keep everything from getting too samey.
>>551673363how is that even a choice?
>>551671454Got none of these.
>>55167282440k models are profitable because there's a relatively small base of people willing to spend thousands of dollars on models that are individually more expensive than any total war warhammer game at full price, some of the models being more expensive than every total war warhammer game+all DLC at full price.The success of a 40k game would rely on current total war warhammer players and players that have played other 40k media(darktide, space marine 2, etc).
>>551673658reconsider, they're celibate now
>>551673363You're going to be raped to death either way.
>>551673456>heh it's only the top 42 of all time, chud!Not the own you think it is
>>551673456That's the biggest number for any warhammer game ever made.
>>551673363Back to the Tau girls
Thoughts? I tried to fit Lion El'jonson in here, but I found that it's annoying as fuck having to dial back on shooting and scoring pieces.
Warhammer is ugly (and that's a good thing)
>>551673456>World of Warships top 20I will never not be mad that there's no good or atleast popular vehicle shooters besides gaijin hamster wheel slop.
>>551671071500k for a complex strategy game like Total War is hard to imagine, but I think he's planning to pivot back to TW if 40k and/or medieval hit it big anyway. He'd be stupid not to when he can just make a video like "I'm SAVING Total War by coming back to make content" , make a vague "just as planned" comment that claims everything good is because of him and the community's previous reactions and then be accepted right in by most
>>551674112This is /twg/ my nigga. What the hell is that bullshit?
>>551674112>>>/tg/
is teclis just a better gelt now
>>551673968Yeah and that number is laughable within its own genre. Just like the 40kids playerbase that doesn't exist lol
>>551674548>Total War 40k>Complex strategy gameIt's literally made for Console first my guyThe height of strategy will be selecting all your mans and clicking attack.
>>551674112>10th editionCringe
>>551673917Yeah, bro, it's only dwarfed by such titans as... ugh... *checks notes* For Honor and The First Descendant (literal gooner core slop)!
>>551673181It was free for a time, and it's basically an imitation of Civ 5. I didn't like it and didn't see a point playing Gladius when Civ 5 with CBP is just so much better, but I'd still rather play Gladius than ever buy Civ 7
>>551674130average anon as bottom left
Is there a mod to make it so AI Tznetches cannot steal your settlements?
>>551674627Total war warhammer's peak player count is laughable within its own genre.

>>551675474Epic Store is always there for us
>>551675348>>551675308As a real time strategy game it competes with starcraft 2, especially since competitive multiplayer is shilled so hard by CA.
>>551675057declare war on them and the cost goes up by 10-100x. Then again they start using Mutagenic Daze on you constant which puts one of your armies in attrition state for 5 turns
Wait, The menace below isn't a one time use it's a X per battle? I've been playing skaven wrong for the past 20 hours trying to learn these niggers.
>>551675308>Warhammer 2 has a lower peak than Warhammer 1What gives? I thought the Warhammer games were on a continuous upwards climb until the terrible WH3 launch?
There is no RTS in TW. The world map layer is TB. The combat layer is RTT.
>>551675735Starcraft 2 is deader than dead
so i just punched malekith in the face and the remaining army flees like that.
>>551675776you want to fight in high skaven corruption areas for more dwellers. They're great for ambushing artillery and isolated ranged units.
>>551675663>Epic Store is always there for us>>551675606Anon, CA uses Epic servers, which is why there are problems now
>>551675308Why does HOI4 have such insane player retention? 50% of peak 9 years on is insane for a singleplayer Real Time Grand Stategy game.
>>551675867Holy fucking TRVKE
>>551675874Most estimates put it around at least 100'000 daily players right now. It also had peaks of millions of players at certain points.
>>551673363>>551673658>>551675374God, I love SoBs. I'll play with IG in TW40K until they release the "Nuns with Guns" DLC.

>>551676069I dunno if you've been paying attention, but fascism is on the rise generally

>>551676187100% same
>>551676282Yeah but it isn't the nazi kind. It's the pozzed nanny state kind. It's not nationalistic but is instead pluralistic.
>>551676069Isn't the only WW2 4x/strategy game around?
>>551676069Autism of the main playerbases like wehraboos and troons, lack of competition, mods. Tons of mods, total conversion mods, which Warhammer 3 is not allowed to get because of the GW agreement.
>vassalize faction>get annoyed when they randomly snipe a settlement you wanted because they were bee-lining it there in forced march while you dealt with the actual armieslittle buddy you were only meant to block my border and look pretty, now you're making daddy mad.
>>551675816The first game started strong but died almost immediately. The second game started weaker but retained people's interest way better. The third one, apart from the initial drop, is holding up quite well.
>>551676187SoB and Drukhari are my most wanted DLCs
>>551674625ANSWER ME NIGGAS

>>551676856>She is pure.pure SEX
>>551675867And that's a good thing.
>>551676604once you temper your expectations, you realize that game 3 is pretty good
>>551676856Correct.
>>551676626argenta should have been romanceable.
>>551676985Game 3 was pretty embarassing at launch, but at this point there's really nothing that 2 does better than 3 and anyone still saying that 2 is the superior game is just stirring shit.

Why does N'Kari have so many reskins?Do Warhammer fans like trannies?

>>551677140Cringe coomer opinion
>>551678231He's androgynous so he gets reskins from people who want him to be all-woman and from people who want him to be all-male and from a few people that even want him to be even more troon-coded.
>>551678231>>551678306Looks like an older model
I have a question. So some units do Aoe Damage with their attacks, right. Like when Karl Franz hits an enemy unit then multiple guys go flying.How does damage calculation work in this case. Does his damage get split towards all the guys he hit or does he do the same full hit damage to everyone he caught in his AoE?
>>551674926>Sales don't count because the game is "gooner core slop"Sure
>>551678231>Tyrion smoked thatwhat a champ
tell me why even after all these years of being teased, we still don't have saurus warriors (halberds) in game
>>551678783nta but First Descendant is F2P and For Honor has been sold for as little as £3
>>551678231Link? This one looks actually cool & thematic instead of being some anime coomshit
