So based off cheats count on the workshop, the most popular races are Empire, High Elves, Cathay and Bretonnia, is that right?

I haven't played since last year, any big boy mods I should be aware of (stuff like IEE)
Thanquol soon, friends!

>>553720981>when I last played, Meow and Katarin were the only finished ones, with Morathi at 50%>it's still exactly the same
>>553720842Here you go, the cheat rising in popularity the most over the last few months: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860213243
>>553721196Morathi was hiatus for ages. She was only recently picked up again.

Why do I see people basedface over lightning strikeDoesn't seem that good
>>553721196they're reworking Meowalso Analrielle progressed a lot
>>553721418its necessary when the ai has gone haywire and is hoarding 20 full stack armies at their capitolalso just generally useful for range heavy armies since your flanks will get overwhelmed by a second reinforcing army
>>553721396Kill them!Raise them!
Is fighting in formation as Cathay still shit? I remember is severely weakening their effective strength.
Army A has 1000 troopsArmy B has 5000 troopsThe two armies engage in battleA lost 1000 troops and B lost 2000 troopsDo you know what that means?
>>553721418Your really good army might be able to take on 4-5 full stacks in the right circumstances, but there is no circumstance where it can take on 20 full stacks.
>>553721846Clearly it means army A won, it inflicted more casualties after all.
>>553721431>>553721318Yea I see they have events with slopped illustrations now, and some Soboro art as well still won't play femMC corruption
>>553721943Rare Soitek appearance
>I felt like a slave since I couldn't talk about religion or politics with my Warhammer-watching audience.
>>553721846Yeah it means A lost 1000 troops and B lost 2000 troops. Fuckin idiot.
>>553721846A gets the dead Rise Again
:D
>>553721431I will never understand why people like pornography of this sort, you are getting off to watching a girl get fucked by all sorts of other stuff rather than imaging said girl getting fucked by (you). Just seems weird. Pornography where you cannot self insert makes no sense.
>>553721418every time I rush it I don't need it until like turn 50 and every time I decide to wait on it I get buckbroken by stackmaxxing AI perfectly placing 4 unaffiliated enemy armies to be reinforcing eachother at turn 10
>>553721995Play as Chadzazel
>>553722419>cannot self insertskill issue

>>553722419You can just say you don't have an internal dialogue.
>>553722803
>>553722484Self insert is genuinely cope.
So for Ogres I don't really want to capture settlements and just campmax right?
>>553722306How do they play? Balanced in anyway or just completely OP?
Just won my Arbaal campaign, who do i play next

>>553723363Every action from the moment we are born is cope.>Wahh I exist, look at me existing. I think therefore I """am"""
>>553720281
>>553723541As Greasus you want to grab all the landmarks so that means capturing. Skrag also wants to capture because of unique resources buffing ogres and allowing them to recruit high tier units much earlier.
>>553723801I'm playing Skrag so that's good to know
>>553721846It means A lost 100% of its troops and B lost 40% of its troops. However it doesn't take into consideration that trooper A might be worth more or less than trooper B. Bah! Maybe two B troopers were not of equal worth. Wait, are we shitposting or seriously discussing stuff?

>>553727447Knights are one of the greatest martial archetypes in human history. And the French are among the greatest conquerors the world has ever known, they won more wars than practically any other nation that has survived to modernity.

How do I get better at the game? I'm doing Jade Court and its turn 41 and I only have like 2 providences. Fucking frog.
>>553729027You should be well aware that all of Europe and America are suffering the same issues, and that it has nothing to do with martial capabilities, but rather a treacherous political and financial class that are willingly destroying their nations and peoples futures for momentary economic gains. The French are being destroyed as a nation and people through sabotage and poison, which bypasses their military excellence since there is no foe to fight and no battle to win, just a slow leeching and inevitable grinding away of their lives and identity. It doesn't matter if you are a powerful warrior if you die in your sleep without ever drawing your sword.
does that we'z speshul mod add lore friendly units to greenskins? or are they fake? I want full goblin armies for grom

>>553726892>>553727447Yes.
>>553729121I’m a magefag so probably Tzeentch. With that said, that Nurgle championette is giving me bad ideas.Slightly related, Tchar’zanek when.
>>553729885This one was hype just because of the potential but too bad the potential was just being ass.
>>553725376I mean Bretonnia is the one single race that made sense if they were going to be FLC because the units they have are basically barely anything in tabletop.
>>553729121Tzeentch, but a non-mage.
>>553729121The fifth one.
>>553729121I want to just go full rage some days so Khorne.
Playing Tainted Grail made me realize just how primitively written Shitonnia is. The lore is a jumbled mess of mis-matched Kamelotian legends that makes absolutely zero sense to anyone at least somewhat familiar with the original setting and characters and the not-Arthur impersonator is an absolute joke with not even 1/10th of charisma or relevance.
>>553729121hashut!
>>553731489>legends that makes absolutely zero senseThey make perfect sense.
>>553729121I would serve Slaany-chan by eating her cinamon-flavored rose-scented pussy until I cum in my pants hands-free.
>>553731703They make zero sense: it's all a retarded jumbled mess. Not even the key characters like Morgianna or the Green Knight not to mention Breton himself are similar to their prototypes. GW just took the names and slapped them on their donut steels with any rhyme or reason.
Im still pretty noobish at this game. I am aware of gunnery units needing direct/straight line of sight in order to fire effectively, do arrow/arcing fire units get any benefits to positioning them like you would a rifle unit or is it better to just have them directly behind your melee to avoid getting entangled in melee?
>>553732017*without any rhyme or reason
>>553732017>GW just took the names and slapped them on their donut steels with any rhyme or reason.So?They're not arthurian britain, they're bretonnia.
Yes, they are Shitonnia: a jumbled incoherent mess of mis-matched lore and known character names slapped on Donut Steels (tm) without any rhyme or reason.
>>553732017okay andwhat, are you gonna complain Sigmar isn't like Charlemagne?
>>553732098Yes, they can shoot horizontally instead of having to arc their arrows which makes them more accurate and also travel faster (so even more extra accurate against moving targets). Also any arrows that miss their target have a pretty good chance of hitting an entity next to/behind their target, whereas arced missiles just plop on teh ground.
>>553732098nah, put them behind your frontline
>>553732541>Donut SteelsWarhammer is a fictional universe.>without any rhyme or reasonThe reason is that the name sounded good for the character>but they should have made it a 1-1 copy of some other tangentially related storiesThey should have thrown you off a building.
>>553732779I guess another question I have, i am really loving the dwarfs, but I feel like Im screwing up irondrake units, I have been treating them like thunderers in terms of positioning but its like the enemies are hyper focused on them and are getting no value, any tips on positioning for low-count high value ranged units like those?
>1-1 copyNo, they should've made a faction that respectfully pays homage, yet changes certain aspects of the original progenitor lore and character behavior to fit the overall Warhammer setting.And you should eat shit.
>>553733082Enemies tend to prioritize higher value targets more so that makes sense. There're no magic tips for irondrakes, their unwieldiness in terms of range and firing arc is part of the tradeoff for being so strong. I usually put them just behind my frontline and try to have them fire through small gaps between my units similar to thunderers. I would recommend keeping a couple melee units in reserve to help peel for them if enemy melee units break through your frontline to tie them up.
>>553733249Nah
>>553733249Nobody is obligated to copy your favorite stories and do it in the way you personally envisage.Seethe.
>>553732017So what? They're just inspired by Arthurian legend, it would be dumb as fuck if GW aped it to the degree you apparently want them to. Ultimately they need to be a Warhammer faction first and foremost.
>>553733082"Positioning" is only a quarter of the equation, not even half. There is nothing special about positioning them: you position them either behind your melee infantry while leaving a gap in your formation for them to shoot through or you just send them head on against isolated units that you know they can rout before the said unit reaches them (i.e. low armor low-medium leadership infantry).The real trick to using them comes from how you react to the ongoing combat.2. Maneuvering: you need to know what to do with them after the infantry lines collapse and your irondrakes no longer have obvious targets to shoot through the gaps.3. Interceptor reserve units: units that stop enemy diver units BEFORE they hit your irondrakes.4. Peeler units that have the sole purpose of peeling any threat off your irondakes AFTER they get jumped on.In other words: play MP, dumb singlcel, it'll teach you how to actually play the game and might even grow some hair on your bald sissy chest.
>>553733249none of the factions are respecful homages lmaoooo
>>553723794did you-know-who actually kill himself?
>>553733823Really homo way to word it but you're right desuUnits got legs so they can walk around

>>553734104Skarsnik, if he were gay
>>553734104Since his entire position is based off racial and national identity combined with Catholicism, I'd say Volkmar.
>>553733823>play MPHow will playing with three units against another army with three units teach him how to manage 20 unit stacks against three 20 unit stacks at once in the actual game?
>>553734104>homosexual mexican twinkTehenhauin
>>553734584Most MP armies have more than 20 units, dumb singlcel.
Do Nurgle cults cause ally dissatisfaction? Like if I put one in their settlements
>>553734747Tehenhauin was busted having rat porn in his tabs
>>553734751I've played enough of it to know that's not true.
>>553735132>land battlesLol. Nay, churl, LMAO.
is nurgle having one of the best cavalry units lore friendly
>>553734516I guess Bretonnians fit too
proud groypers in twg feels good
>>553735414Worship of the Lady is more akin to pagan beliefs with how its portrayed, the closest analogue to Catholicism in 40K is the Cult Of Sigmar and Kislevs Orthodoxy, though obviously the latter is based off the schism of Eastern Orthodoxy so I would still tend towards the Cult Of Sigmar being more analogous.
>>553735057putting a cult on an ally via a cultist hero will give -relation with "Hero actions against this faction" as the reason, but I don't think getting a cult on an ally via other methods, or already have a cult in a settlement an ally captures gives negative relation. I think.
>>553734751Domination sucks and takes too long, I prefer my battles to end in a reasonable timeframe.
>>553734747I cannot see how you can look at Tehenhauin and think "twink", is your visual perception that warped?
>>553735280Domination doesn't play anything like traditional total war and doesn't teach anyone how to play it. It plays like entirely unrelated RTS games, like world in conflict or wargame.It's played by people who want to play total war without playing total war.
>>553736105Domination will be how all the battles work in 40k, they even had dropships in the trailer.
>>553736105Domination is a gamemode for people who want to play Total War without the battle being decided within the first blob engagement and without most matches being decided on the army selection screen before the battle even starts. Domination gives players enhanced ability to react to the battlefield situation by picking which reinforcements to send at which moment in order to counter certain units or enact certain tactics. And it teaches how to play more than land battles ever will, because domination is the ultimate "pick favorable engagement" simulator AND places a much heavier emphasis on mobility - an aspect which is drastically less important in land battles.In other words, Domination is the natural evolution of TW battles akin to how DoW2 was the natural and far superior evolution of DoW1 attack-move blobfests.
>>553734104>Empire supremacist>not one drop of Empire blood

Which faction in TWW is the most ethnically homogenous and pure, and will genocide all other factions should they prevail? Dwarves?
>>553737198It's just the zoomer mantra of forcing a meme about an e-celeb they dislike like the "Legend has a chink wife" bullshit.
>>553737341Lizardmen
>>553737341>Which faction in TWW is the most ethnically homogenous and pure, and will genocide all other factions should they prevail?Literally, LITERALLY the based rats. Dwarfs will not genocide humans and even elves.
>>553737445Aren't Lizards specifically going to keep certain races around that the Old Ones helped create, just contain them in the areas the Old Ones assigned them to? So Elves, Dwarves, and Ogres would survive in a Lizardmen dominated world, they just wouldn't be allowed outside of their designated geographical areas.

>>553736639>And it teaches how to play more than land battles ever willIt doesn't teach you how to play total war because it doesn't play like total war. It plays more similarly to wargame than any traditional total war game. That's why it's played by people who don't like total war.It's not an evolution, it is an entirely different game under the guise of total war. It scraps the total war formula creates an entirely new, vaguely related game. Just like dawn of war 2 wasn't a mechanical sequel to dawn of war, it was an entirely different game.
>>553737341Skaven. They are the only race that completely hates everyone else and if they temporarily team up with someone the end goal is to backstab and kill them after they get what they want. They just wanna kill and eat everybody, they are the Tyranids of Fantasy.

>>553737341Obvious answer; skavenTrue answer, high elves if Aislinn became the phoenix king

>>553738126>AislinnIdk his lore, QRD does he really wanna kill everyone or just want Asur to rule the world?
what board has the best place for wh fantasy lore discussion? Feels only tangential here
>>553737791It teaches you how to play total war better than land battles, because it teaches you how to pick favorable engagements far better than land battles can simply because you have a more varied army composition overall due to presence of reserves. It also teaches you how to use cavalry units FAR better than land battles, because mobility in land battles is not even half as important, meaning that cav (adn especially light cav) sees far more play.In the end, domination is the perfect tool for teaching the player good battle tactics that can be easily applied in your land battle blobfests where teaching those same favorable engagement selection and cav use skills is much harder.And domination is 100% the evolution of land battles: overwhelming majority of competitive MP community agrees since most MP battles are domination, including ALL the highest level of skill ones. And if the other poster is right, then dom battles will be the standard in TW40kids.
>>553738225That doesn't mean anything regarding his genetic composition lol
I only come here for 40k newsI haven't played tww3 for the past 18 months
Land battles = 1 blob.Domination = 3 blobs.3 > 1 therefore domination is more gooder than land battles.
>>553738403all these reasons are why most of it also isn't applicable in campaign
>>553738268He just hates inferior races like Humans, Dwarves, and (especially) Halflings. It's funny that he dies trying to get his salty runback with Lokhir only to get chopped to pieces by the Dragon Of Cothique.
>>553729121Ive actually given this one some thought before and determined it would likely be Nurgle based on my attitude and fears
Speaking of domination, new Luminark kino just dropped:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukHFo4uU2A4
>>553738403It doesn't teach you how to play total war because it doesn't play like total war. Domination teaches you how to play domination, not total war.It's not the evolution because it is not heavily related to total war's gameplay, it's a complete departure.
>>553738519My condolences, despite its problems, TWW3 is still one of the most fun games I have ever played in my life, and continues to be so.
When is the next dlc coming?
>>553737198Not allowed in the ethno state, sorry not sory.
>>553738519I took a long break but its been back in heavy rotation since the announcement
>>553738936I was never much of a fan of tww, the setting doesn't captivate me and the campaign is puddle deep if battles alone don't keep you entertained
>>553738721That's because base unit stats mean nothing in cuckpaign which means that whatever good engagement selection skills you've learned in MP (played at base unit stats) mean nothing in cuckpaign where a gorillion flavor of cheats (redline, tech, faction/lord effects, landmarks, whatever) exists to create your 80MD goblins that will clobber Chosen into submission with pointy shitsticks.This just shows that cuckpaign is dogshit, which is TCALUK doesn't balance the game for cuckpaign cheats and balances for base unit stats (i.e. MP).
>>553739158what the fuck does any of this even mean
>>553739158Froggy what RPGs have you played recently and do you recommend them overall/are the good?
>>553739253its mp babble, ignore it
>>553739105>The setting doesn't captivate meAnd yet 40K somehow does? I am sensing a serious case of shit taste here.

>>553739105>the campaign is puddle deep if battles alone don't keep you entertainedThat's every total war game ever made.The strategic layer has always been a vehicle that transports you to the tactical battles. TWWH is in fact far heavier when it comes to campaign mechanics and strategic faction uniqueness than most games in the franchise.
>>553739606They said Warhammer 40k was releasing in Quarter 2 2027 not March. Since the last 4 games CA has been released have been delayed since their original intended released expect Q3 2027 at the earliest.
>>553739940>They said Warhammer 40k was releasing in Quarter 2 2027 not Marchwhere did they say that?
>>553739438I was pleasantly surprised by tainted grail, as I said earlier in another thread. Game seems like a Skyrim wannabe at first glance, but it's actually more of a Gothic-like with shitloads of multi-solution side-quests and a branching main storyline with an overall high amount of Choice&Consequences. Your character generation and advancement decisions also decide which quests can be completed by which methods. Overall, I'd highly recommend it. Closest thing we have to Gothic and Risen at the moment.

Why did so many people have a meltdown over Richard Aldridge on the CA discord saying there won't be DLC for Bretonnia back in December? Why the fuck do retards think rework = DLC? They are crying their eyes out on the CA forums over it.
>>553740228Who? I seem to cannot find him on the Total Tavern rankings list which means he must've been some kind of irrelevant shitter who never even played the game.
>>553740228completely the same, he's been phoning it in since halfway through WH2
>>553740408Because it's retarded. CA has this logic that a faction being a "Free DLC" makes it low priority or some sort of leper for the devs. It's just a fucking base game faction that launched later. FLC doesn't make something special, it's a base game faction that can be updated and granted DLC like other base game factions. They have stuff from older editions and lore that can be added, like CA did for other factions and even bringing factions with no 8ed army like VCoast or making Norsca standalone.
I actually miss legend, I put his streams on for background noise. he should come back to talk politics, I bet he's a based chud
I wish cathay heroes didn't come with +1 yin/yang local bonus trait.
>>553740408Because they should get at least one DLC for a full update. They're a popular faction and well liked, it would sell, but CA refuses to do it because Bretonnia is the FLC faction so somehow in their retarded logic they can never be given anything new.
>>553741396Might be some legal issue as technically they'd be making DLC for a DLC that is not part of the base game even if it's free.
>>553741396there is literally no units left except variants. they have nothing to sell as dlc. they can't just magically pull units of their ass. gamesworkshop would block them just like they blocking ca from opening up ind and khuresh. they can't take old world units only like foot knights either because gamesworkshop said old world is an entirely different ip like age of sigmar.
>>553741742They already did some champions as units and heroes so all of these are fair game.
>>553741742>no units leftretard
>>553741742>they can't just magically pull units of their assTheyve done it before
>>553720642Nurgle
>>553722034I got yer back bro
>Bertrand as free LL>Hugo le Petit and Gui le Gros as unique heroes>couple more variants for regular heroes>Foot Squires (Polearms) as higher tier anti-large>Foot Squires (Longbows) as longer range bows>Brigands (Normal / Fire / Poison) as high tier bowmen with stealth and shoot while moving>Knights Of The Realm On Foot (Sword and Shield / Great Weapons) as actual elite infantry>4-5 regiments of renownThis hoestly would fix a lot of the problems for the roster battle-wise while not inventing anything new. By far the biggest task would be to turn Green Knight into a proper Legendary hero and rework the campaign mechanics.But yeah, you don't need a paid DLC to do this.
>>553741742>there is literally no units left except variants.>they can't take old world units only like foot knights either because gamesworkshop said old world is an entirely different ip like age of sigmar.Correct.>they can't just magically pull units of their ass.I mean they have been using lore only units so it is kinda pulling them out of their ass.>>553742112Correct. >>553742432Instead of calling him retard maybe trying naming possible units? It makes you look retarded when you don't.>>553743443Those all existed in lore.
>>553724650Why does Ghorst still live?
>>553744565>>Foot Squires (Polearms) as higher tier anti-large>>Foot Squires (Longbows) as longer range bows

>>553744870Cause I got bored of killing him.. Now I'm going all in on the fat fuck from both sides, penetrating deeply into his kingdom and voring it.
>crash after an incredibly long battle that auto-resolves as a defeat>lose all desire to continue that campaign
What is this autoresolve? Am I back in Warhammer 2?
>>553747542The enemy's staunch line is simply stauncher than yours.
>>553747542Dark Conduit gives a huge autoresolve bonus and dreadspears/bleakswords got some big buffs a while back.
>>553747917In no timeline does that force beat his in the open field though. I mean unless he literally has them run around in circles with pants on their heads, even then it would be pretty close.

>>553744769>Instead of calling him retard maybe trying naming possible units? It makes you look retarded when you don't.I called him a retard because we got "fake units" (aka not-8th-ed-army-books-unit) for almost 10 years now.Also check this from recent interview:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UcdP4vcARk&t=918For units:Bowmen SquiresFoot KnightsHermit Knights

>>553729121What I would like to be: HashutWhat I would like to be of the big four: TzeentchWhat I would probably be: Nurgle or Slaanesh.The latter not just because "haha I like to coom :)" because everyone likes to coom. Rather I enjoy helping others coom and corrupting them to like stuff they wouldn't have liked otherwise.
>>553724596Shadow and The Blade is still my favorite. "Through hate, all things are possible" is pure edgekino.
>>553751917Play coop and get a retard like me. My mate never once entered the rifts. He had me do all that while he took over half the map.
>>553753434how so?

>>553757261Everything just costs metric fuckloads of gold and you also need shitloads of the special faction resource
Arbaal, Skrag, or Tamurkhan? I've never played these factions.
>>553760582TAMURKHAAAN>*kayzk screeching in the background*
>>553760582its gotta be my boy tammy
>>553761072>>553761267As I said I've not played Nurgle so what are some hot nurgle tips for the fatso?
>>553761593Kayzk, the woc hero on draggie, 8 rot knights, chosen and a nurgle soc. Your army is gonna be unkillable. Tamurkhan himself can solo 40-60 units. He got that damage while charging thing like Skarbrand so you just click from unit to unit and everything he walks into dies instantly. And rot knights fuck face.
>>553761593you might accidentally recruit some of the slowest most boring units in the nurgle roster if youre not carefulmake sure you avoid this campaign debuff by recruiting chariots, cavalry, plague ogres, and other fast movers so you have something to do during battlesrot knights are astonishingly strong
>>553761593you are a slow moving stinky steamrollerI like a thin line of nurglings to pin their front line down while yours makes its merry wayRotknights and frogs on the flanks, flyers for enemy artillery
>>553762315>nurglingsWhy in gods name would you ever recruit that absolute trash when you can ahit out stacks of chosen and exalted plaguebearer?
>>553762601I explained why in my post I play what I like and how I like, I don't necessarily care what is strongest or most efficient
ooh fuck thats one of the more tempting ones I've seen. with my luck I'll give the world super ebola within the next ten turns though
Does anyone know if there is a mod for picking your own starting settlement for Three Kingdoms? Can't find anything similar to the one in Warhammer that shows the whole map and just let's you pick whatever settlement you want
How do I encourage the dwarfs to retake Karaz-a-karak? I keep on going over, purging the skaven, then leaving it for them to re-colonise but Thorgrim Grudgebearer steadfastly refuses to go back to the fucking capital of the dwarfen race. Or do I have to wait form the skaven to take it again then target it as a war goal and hope they actually listen to me?
How is this game not dead yet?
>>553763789idk hth
>>553763435Maybe they don't have the money for colonization
>>553763435Conquer it and gift it to him?
>>553764152WH2 which I believe doesn't allow for that.
Since Tzeentch and Nurgle both each have two units left is fair to say they will get character packs like the upcoming Cathay one? I mean if the character packs are 3 units like rumored they can always give each one of the missing single entity chaos monsters.
>>553764928Lol have fun
>>553763435>dat uiIs that warhammer2? If so I don't think you can.. usually you'd either use allegiance points to force him to go take it or settlement gift to him but I don't think either existed in 2
I really miss WH2's UI...
Something that always bothered me is gamesworkshop getting rid of the 5th chaos god Malal. He was the coolest of the 5 chaos gods. His color is black. His chaos shit is followers try to convince everyone gods don't exist including the chaos gods. Basically they go around gaslighting people. His demons were the coolest too because they were horror themed. Imagine hook horrors being a unit in total war...

So why is Daniel so hated, he seems fine to me
>>553767112He's half baked like all of warhammer 3 was at launch.
Why would you ever use the Black Orcs ability to trade all their defense for AP damage? They already primarily do AP damage and their defense drops so low that non AP units can kill them from lower tiers
Besides every Undead faction, what other factions should get more units? Only ones I can think of are:>Bretonnia>Wood ElvesThat's all I can think of.
>>553768009Seems like a situational ability for MP
>Another DLC pack where the free legendary lord has the most unique mechanicWhy is this? Every single time a DLC has came out, the free legendary lord ends up being better.
>>553768549Empire has potential units that can genuinely be good line infantry, like duelists, pikemen or state troop sergeants(halberds).
>>553768648>Every single timeEnter
>>553768823QRD
>>553768979Repanse's unique mechanic is that her armies have a water resource, which depletes when she's in desert terrain and replenishes when she enters a city. This is a way for her to avoid desert attrition. That's it.This was marginally useful in the vortex campaign, but became useless in game there, where the southlands got so small that you could go from one city to the next in one turn. Also, CA had the bright idea to add a landmark that gives desert attrition immunity right next to her start position, making her mechanic even more useless.
Are the different mounts I get better than the last or do they all function differently?
>>553769228honestly, she should really be the Bret horde faction. it'd be pretty kino. you dedicate cities to other bret factions, declare crusades on whoever is annoying you at the moment, set up keeps, and just jump the shit out of bad dudes with half a dozen armies of knight-spam.
>>553769496Typically mounts are unlocked in order of usefulness except for chariots, which I find take way too much micro and get shut down really easily.
>>553769521Could also have a unique Fervor mechanic. You get access to knights from other factions depending on well you're crusading. Dragon Princes join up to crusade against Dork Elves, Knights of Morr form up against undead, etc.
>>553769496Depends on the hero. With some it completely changes what the hero does.Khorne's bloodreaper on a bloodthrone is an absolute infantry annihilator and buffs shit around him. When put on a juggernaut he is absolutely useless against infantry but mauls others heroes and lords real good.Kinda same with all the heroes who get a warshrine.
>>553769496They have different functions, some functions are more useful than others or more useful in that function than othersBigger mounts means more shit that can hit you at once, different animations can make them better at busting infantry blocks vs dueling As a general rule regular horses are better for dueling and need the extra mobility to escape from spear blocks, more monstrous stuff is better at busting infantry though still good at dueling but will get hit by more stuff, any slower shrines and crap are for buffing allies and a little extra mass but are far more vulnerable to getting ganked
>>553770473Heh, I answered before you, now you look super dumb. Bleeh
Legendary Lord for this meal?
Why is Malekith such a thin-skinned bitch? It's true to call him a pedophile protector
>>553770608your favorite ogre
>>553769627I thought chariots if managed well can easily solo an entire army?
I EAT MY ENEMIES
Do Wood Elves get access to the war beasts Drycha has or is it only exclusive to Drycha?
>>553771279>Notices stomach mouth Owo what's this? And will he be eating enemies with it?
>>553771215That's kind of true if you are patient and the enemy is almost entirely infantry, but most of the time there's a big penalty to MA and MD for being on a chariot. If you try to fight dragon ogres or massed trolls or monsters your hero is going to die quicker than you think.
>>553754462this. CA cannot simply name provinces in town. GW has to do it. and they are not interested in it.
>its called Gitsnik because Grimgor uses it to snik (sound of an axe) a gitHoly shit...
>>553771731*and
>>553771731Aye, the problem is that gw MIGHT one day wanna make an army of khuresh or ind so they need to stay blank slatesthe only reason CA even got away with the vampire coast is that they came out during the awkward period between fantasy being dead and the old world
What's the difference between greatsword units and dual wielding units if both dish out tons of damage? And would regular Mimotaurs do more than those with shields since they lose an axe?
>>553772515Usually dual wields hve bonus vs infantry in their weapon strength that is a flat number that gets added to their melee attack and weapon strength when fighting infantry.
>Watch guy play Wood Elves against Cathay>Cathay wrecking Wood Elves shit>Wood Elf player sends his Derpwood Scouts all around the map and somehow avoiding detection to get behind and delete the Iron Hail Gunners and send in his Wildwood Rangers to just mop up his infantryI now see why Stalk is a very strong passive in multiplayer over campaign.
>>553772658So what Minotaurs with shields do that's different besides being able to block ranged fire better?And what about my first question about Greatswords since both Dual Wielding and that are great against infantry?
>>553772515Greatswords get more AP damage which is better vs armor, dual weapon units get more Bonus vs Infantry which is better for lighter armor unitsBonus vs infantry applies to both melee attack (their hit chance) and weapon strength (damage dealt per attack, divided between regular and AP based on the normal ratio).Dual weapon berserkers are usually blenders for infantry that have less than 50 armor, greatswords are to deal actual damage for 60+ armor units who will be mitigating a lot of base weapon damage.
>>553772515Generally it's better armor piercing vs better raw damage. In campaign you've got more incentive to just get more armor piercingShield minotaurs still fuck shit up and get some protection from ranged but if you're playing beastmen you're probably just ambushing and avoiding the ranged problem in the first place
>>553772794They are cheaper is all. They are just the base version and the others are specialized upgrades.Greatswords tend to be more armor piercing.
>>553772803Wait Armor Piercing and Weapon Strength are two separate damage values? What the fuck?
>>553772794Shields give them a block chance against missiles from the front and better melee defense. Hover over the shield icon to see how much that chance is, usually its 30% or 55%.Shield minos will deal damage slower but will take less damage in return, they're more generalist units. However, given the nature of minotaurs, you generally want dual weapons since you want them to impact into infantry and shred them.Another thing to note is that for monstrous infantry like minotaurs great weapons also tend to give them some bonus vs large; its the same thing as bonus vs infantry but for horses and bigger. If your minos are hitting armored knights or fighting other monsters then you want them with great weapons.
>>553772918Weapon strength is a sum of base weapon strength and armor piercing weapon strengthIf you have more AP damage than you do base damage you're an AP unit (you also tend to attack a bit slower because great weapon but ignore attack intervals for now).Its important to know because armor is a % reduction of base strength; a guy with a 100 armor has a chance to ignore literally all damage that isn't armor piercing.
aww they got cute little helmets :)
>>553773546aww they're smiling :)
Whenever I see a beginner ask about units and their strength and stats and such I wonder why we don't have a way of running test battles easily..You can tell a noob that sisters of avelorn are amazing and worth stacking to all hell but he won't know why they are better than regular archers.If noob sees 2 units of archers barely dent a unit of Chosen and get double mauled.. then sees 2 units of sisters of avelorn send the Chosen back to the chaos realms in 2 volleys, he'd understand.Would solve the endless questions of why there are 5 different minotaurs and why some lords have 6 fucking mounts..
>>553774128Even with that it would still never explain how armor actually works, just that you absolutely need AP damage against 80+ armor units to do anything fast.
>>553774240I'm a Tekken player and I have had to teach endless noobs with only a few hundred hours.. I believe it would help.Cause whenever I try going "well you see, the frame data on this move is this and that so you do this cause frames and bla bla" the noobs fucking lock up. They dunno what the fuck is going on.But if I tell noob, hey, press this fancy button, they see it works, they keep doing it.So in my brain, if I tell a total war noob to throw his doomflayer into the heavy shock cav, he sees it mauling the horses, he gets happy emotions, he does so again.He doesn't need to understand why.. he only needs to keep chasing happy feelings and now he wins.But ofc bringing him to recruit unit X and actually use it is tough cause campaign. If he can hop into "training" and instantly throw unit X into unit Y he sees what happens.
>>553773546>>553774083cute little pitties :)
>>553774128sisters of avelorn have been power-crept into uselessnesscompare them to chorf blunderbusses
>>553774757Good for u anon but I don't care.
>>553775039cared enough to reply
>>553774596Yes examples are very important for confirming the lesson sticks but the lessons they can teach by themselves are only generalities. And while generalities can be fine for the most part they can also fall apart in edge cases. Total war is especially bad at that between tech trees and lord lines/army bonuses can run directly contrary to knowledge you pick up in the "vanilla" versus mode. Like you could learn that AP missiles are pretty decent against armor in testing only to run into belegar's dwarfs with 85% parry chance 10% missile resist that wades through without care.One has to learn the specifics so that they have the experience/knowledge to evaluate a situation for themselves.
What do you see in a multiplayer battle that makes you do this?

is ostenkya fun? Tried Katarin and the hobo but the zone bores me
>>553779669mid af fr
>>553775680Sure but I think you are trying to go too deep. Noobie only needs to know the basics via basic tutorial. Over time he learns the deep ends of total war. When he gets stuck at absurd heroes he can ask questions but we are getting "hurr why 5 minotaurs"
>getting bored at turn 30 againYeah I think its time to uninstall
These are the least/rarest long campaign victories which Legendary Lord has the easiest time achieving their long goals?
>>553780968Wood Elves is the easiest but also the most boring because of The Oak of Ages shit. Norsca is easy as fuck just go back to Norsca and you should conquer it entirely by turn 40 and because your army is powerful early game when every else around you isnt, Kislev is a walk in the park, likewise The Empire
>>553780968Probably beastmen, followed by wood elves.
>start Grimgor campaign>capture first area>call WAAAAGH on Zharr Nagrund>set battle difficulty to Easy/Easy>Auto resolve the battle>have a T4 settlement by turn 10 if you spent every turn recruiting>set battle difficulty back up to VH/VHNow I can have fun
>>553780968welves cheevo takes 2 million turns to complete
>>553729121If I could, then likely someone or something is attempting to corrupt me. So the answer is none of them. The offer itself would confirm the warp and therefore other entities.IF Fantasy then Sigmar is absolutely a God and I pledge myself to him even at the risk of my own physical destruction. IF 40k then the Emperor will at least burn out my soul 'power' and my suffering will end.At the end of the day you are just picking who gets to slurp up your soul. I will not take the chance any of the Chaos parasites keep you somewhat cognizant during and after they absorb you.
>>553732573Sigmar is not Charlemagne. At least not JUST him. He is Charles Martel with the battle of Blackfire Pass circa 732 A.D, plus his grandson Charlemagne plus Barbarossa.

Do I treat Yari Samurai like Young Spears in Troy? Where they're basically a cavalry unit but no horse?
>>553783523Yari samurai are just bad, keep using ashigaru for your yari needs.
>>553783523No, they're an anti-cavalry unit.But yeah they're not good.
>>553783523samurai bad
>>553783853>>553784183>>553784362and people say Shogun II is the best game baka
>>553784406General+19 tier 0 shitters is the ultimate total war experience doebeit, using good units is cheating.
>>553784623I like cheating
>>553784406I for one have never said that, it's ok tier.
But why did CA hate samurai in shogun 2?
>>553785181everyone hates samurai thoughever, even ultraweebs
>>553785181It's mainly the Yari Samurai, guess CA wanted to give them a slightly different role than Yari Ashigaru which ended up costing them. Bow, Matchlock and Katana Samurai work just fine. Though with Bow Samurai there's always the question of whether they are economically worth it compared to Bow Ashigaru.
I played Lokhir more since ToT dropped than any of the new LLs. LL for this feel?

>>553785549why did they never buff them
>>553785934Play Slannies to go fast for a change.
>>553785934It's clear you love the colour green. May I recommend a green faction on the side of Order?
>>553784406You're supposed to play the DLCs. Yari Kachi are one of the most useful units in FOTS as they are fast and slaughter Line Infantry in melee. They are terrible in auto-resolve however.
>>553786318FOTS isn't a DLC, it's a Saga
>>553786875It's not treated like a game though, it's in the Shogun 2 DLC section and is launched through Shogun 2's campaign selection menu.
>>553786095I don’t like or I’m just not used to micromanaging cavalry. Even though Nurgle’s best unit is Rot Knights, I can handle microing three or so, but jumping to fourteen feels like a steep increase.>>553786161I do need to play Skaven. I’ve been trying Clan Pestilens, but I usually get bored by the time I have to kill Mazdamundi. Doesn’t that leave me with only the Wood Elves and maybe Lizardmen? I’ve done Oxyotl, but not on Legendary. Who would you recommend? Gor-Rok and Tehenhauin are the only two notable enough to be worth playing, Right? Also, on the topic of Wood Elves isn’t Durthu the best lord for long-victory/confederation?
>>553783523if you're Date or Chokosabe and you go deep down the left-hand side of the Bushi tree (+1 exp for all spear-wielding units) x 2, you can pump out these guys at +4 Chevrons in the mid game in 1 turn. They have extremely high melee defense and insane charge and will decimate most units on impact. They essentially replace Katana infantry for defensive clans where your DPS isn't in your infantry, it's in your arrows. Whereas for the Date, they have over 30+ charge bonus on recruitment.AKA: They're an all-rounder that can do massive damage during charges, and they benefit from some very sneaky tech which can be unlocked very early and practically abused by the right clan...
>>553787227The Sisters of Twilight, tempestuous Arahan and serene Naestra, are super fun. They are green and good.However if you want to go full leafensraum, Drycha is the pick. She is purple and neutral.
does military alliance still make confederation more difficult?
>>553788410I feel like usually it's an overall benefit because of the relations gain but either way it can be a real pain in the ass and wildly unpredictable.
>>553788410Definitely used to because a defensive or military means your ally starts factoring in your military power into their calculations as their own. The more vulnerable they feel the more likely they are to confederate. I don't remember if CA ever fixed it to make it so the alliance means more than the lack of power difference because its also easy to just mod in.There's really no reliable way to force confederations through normal diplomacy, you just have to pray they get most of their army power knocked out in one turn and then deal with having their shitty, underdeveloped land and 7 extraneous generals eating your supply lines
I don't like how if I lose a unit with WoC it sets me back so long. The upgrading units thing is neat, but it takes a while to replenish your troops if you have a tough battle and you're stuck with Marauders taking your spots of a lost chosen or somtehing

>>553793957Yes
>>553793957Yes, right now for sure though CA implied Archaon will get new shit with the End Times and at that point he will likely have a mechanic of his own, but if you want to play Warriors of Chaos right now do not use the 7.03 beta unless CA hotfixes the beta hotfix for the hotfix patch. It completely breaks their vassalage mechanic, probably because they've accidentally copied over something from the End Times WoC rework as I can't imagine any other explanation
>>553755298I have heard the very fun description of actual Slaneeshi corruption being: "I murder-raped my entire family today, just to feel a new kind of pleasure in life". It's excess to a degree most are not ready for lol
>>553791335Never ever
>>553794464its really funny that slaanesh is so problematic for games workshop that for a decade they kept slaanesh written out of Age of Sigmar by saying the elves kept it locked up
A Bretonnian walks into a bar, but he can't afford anything so he leaves immediately
>>553794813>94813▶They are aware that there exist dudes who are already basically on that level of depravity and official content would just be like offering them free crack
>>553794995This is the pinnacle of Reiklander humor and it's pathetic.
Anons who have tooled around with the new Iron Orc mod... ow is it? How do they play?
>>553795289I think theyre pretty fun, retarded orcs with an emphasis on pile of violenceAlthough starting between orcs that treat the game like vietnam and hitler elves next door youll be doing a lot of whack a mole and their LL is massive
>>553795539between dwarves*
>>553793957Neither are fun, most of the game with WoC you have to go through the north to get all the citadels, so you are just fighting Norsca or other chaos factions most of the time
>>553795828Why Mordheim isn't a dark fortress candidate is beyond me. They slapped Mordheim onto Belakor so you'd think at least he could make it a dark fortress.
>>553796023it's a warpstone crater, not a fortress in any way shape or form
>>553795828>>553796023I agree, replaying WoC is not that fun as a result of the Dark Fortress mechanic. You go norf or you get weaker, and it ruins variety when every single one of the very many lords has to go in the same direction or you're hurting yourself. I bet CA will copy the Norscan solution and you will be able to spend Souls to turn province capitals into Dark Fortresses. If they do not do that with the End Times rework that will come with Crom, they pivoted as a result of this post
>>553796621Well I don't fucking care about that. I care about the fact that dark fortresses are 90% up in the chaos wastes and you don't really spend any fucking time invading the empire or kislev or anywhere else.Belakor has a portal that takes him pretty much to Mordheim so I think giving him a dark fortress there so he can spearhead an invasion of the empire sounds fun.
>>553796813you build up your forces in the north and then attack the empire, it's that simple. The whole point is that you don't have the support network in the south, that's why you can't go there immediately. It's fluffy as fuck.
finally, after 129 turns taurox campaign is done
>>553796906See that sounds cool until its turn 90 and the game is practically over before you can actually go do some shit in the old world because the last 90 turns were you fighting retarded vikings for better income.When I play a faction that has destroy the old world as its goal I want to be able to start that before the game is over.
>>553796906The point is stupid and ruins variety though. It should be reconsidered. Why is that the case for all the lords? Every campaign starts feeling the same because you have to fight with the exact same Norscans and Warriors to get power. Why even have guys like Festus start in the Empire if the game doesn't want you to mess with it and wants you to just pivot to where Azazel and Be'lakor are? Not to mention by the time you have north, you are so overpowered the campaign is basically over anyway, so there's no gain from this.
7.03's official launch is tomorrow by the way.
>>553797405Worth waiting on to start a new campaign over?
>>553797062the game is over only because you're too weak willed to enjoy it>>553797154go play demons if you want a different style
>>553797405Will it brick my campaign?
>>553797405hope it won't break creamapi
>>553763257a-anyone? Just had an itching for some historical, and I wanted to settle down in the south away from the clusterfuck happening in the main-land. But doing an old-school migration is kind of rough

can they please port the vortex campaign to warhammer 3? it was so much better than realm of chaos
AI can't use sea lanes right?
>>553800626Soul transfer is impossible, anon.
How does "local recruitment" reduction work with things like Chaos that just spawn in units? Does it count local recruitment for the province you're dropping them in from, or the province the building creating them was?
>>553800854Local recruitment bonuses only work for the normal kind where you recruit from local buildings over the end turn. WoC and Nurgle don't get any benefit from them at all.
>>553801448Wtf is up with them having a dedicated building for it then
>>553798550if you can't find one there's the more ghetto option of using console commands to tele your army somewhere else
I wonder how much generational AI will be used for Medieval 3?
>>553801670the only generational stuff you and ca have going on is stupidity
>>553801539Yea? That may be a bit technical for me ngl. But I guess I could look into it. I would just like to start on a cozy island down in the south expanding trough the ruined territories for a bit. I really liked how TK had more focus on Growth/population compared to Warhammer
>>553797405Will it rework sieges? No? Still not reinstalling then.
>>553802025LMAAAOOOO
>>553802025holy SHIT
Daemon prince of Khorne has got to be the most useless of the daemon princes right?No magic, no cool abilities, no nothing.
>>553802432Daemon Princes are pretty mid in general
>>553802432Daemon Princes are ok for WoC, but for Daemons they don't get half the unique skills so they are quite trash. Excluding the Nurgle one, because CA forgor to upgrade EGUO and EHoN and give them unique skills, so Daemon Prince still has a purpose, though Nurgle Sorcerer and regular Lords are probably better anyway
>>553792473He wasn't designing Eldar for at least 20 years now.
>>553792473It's ok, we still have Gav
Who's the weakest khorne LL? I want to actually have a bit of fun and I know skulltaker is tard proof.
>>553803234Asking for the weakest Khorne Lord is like asking for the tallest Dwarf Lord.
>>553802631They're not 'OK' for WoC either, they have worse stats than the Dragon-mounted Lord/Sorceror you upgrade them from, and require you to spend an assload of souls and slash their character level to do it. You only do it for flavor
>>553771307Drycha exclusive.

>>553804675>>553804684>>553804875holy schizo
>>553805101Good but very bloated to the point it impacts performance.
>>553797405>finally got my modlist working yesterday
TW 40k has hit 1million wishlists on steam
>>553797405here's hoping it doesn't mess up my modded campaign, I just got to the fun part
Lads. What's the ideal stack for Dechala now that I've unlocked tier 5 units? Need to know so I know which skills to selectively choose for the army buffs branch. I understand she comes with buffs for some of the human slaneshi but they're all tier 1/2 units. I'm not looking to doomstack or anything, I just want a strong, versatile stack.
>>553806107im not seeing performance issues right now, does it get worse later in the game?
>>553784406>and people say Shogun II is the best game bakaShogun 2 is still the last total war where the AI can actually play its own game.
>>553807649"snap your shiteating fucking neck owltranimal slurping subhuman it will flop"
>>553807936Bro, your multi-minute end turn timer?Also yeah it gets worse in the lategame but that's true of vanilla too.
>>553808104long turn times aren't a performance issue, they're a part of the experience :)honestly so long as the campaign doesn't outright crash I'm fine with end turns taking 15 minutes
>>553804343>game has constant issues of the AI still being idle>AI still has too much a hardon for the player with its anti-player bias>multiple gameplay bugs not being addressed like the fire at will, line of sight and the ever present siege gate bug>No news of the siege beta at all and all questions are ignored>Campaign specific bugs like the Beastmen suddenly being unable to recruit the cockatrice>no news on Lords of the End Times or free content to make up for the lack of shit they gave us in 2025>reddit and discord sloppas are eating this up and thanking CA for fixing a bug on the game mode only a handful playThis is fucking embarassing
>>553808473some bugs are harder to fix than others anon, you can't just lock a programmer in a cubicle for a month to fix the siege gate bug
>wishlists lmaoRegardless of the fact that wishlists are not an indicator of sales, half of those people wishlisting won't have a PC to play games on in 2027.
Froggy are you ok, are you ok Froggy
>>553807892Pretty convinced the only units other than maraudermanii you want to run with her are demonic attraction pleasureseekers since they give army wide additional buffs although technically you could argue for running dechala alone
>>553808790Don't summon that retard.
Froggy saying it will flop is meaningless, because he refused to set a simple criteria for what he considers the game being successful and not a flop that we can hold him to. He will say it flopped no matter what, even if it mogs other TW games in sales and playercount. He will just re-define terms or say "Well it's not a real Total War game" like he says "It's not a real RPG with BG3"
Making my own 40slop not paying gw for it

>>553808104i was still on my first turn but i see it now, its not that bad for me at least at the start, i do have a good pc so i think that helps
>>553808628>you can't just lock a programmer in a cubicle for a month to fix the siege gate bugYou can, its their job to fix this shit, they shouldnt be getting paid until they fix basic shit that should have been fixed years ago, the excuse of spaghetti code goes away when we've had the siege gate bug since WH1 and the aggressive anti-player bias since WH2.>inb4 modders fixed thatOk, I dont give a fuck, the guys whos job it is to make this game run properly need to fix the game, modders should not be doing their job for free and I refuse to install any of them, CA needs to address and fix these issues as soon as possible because mods should never be required to have a good experience.
Kek, I'm sure the gorillion wishlists helped borderlands 4 sell gangbusters.>criteriaHas always been perfectly defined.

>>553809837Kek nothing has been defined no such threads exist, again I accept your concession.All you had to do is say yes or no to "TW:40K will flop if it sells less than Total War Warhammer 3, if it sells more it won't"But you can't, you just dodge the question by saying "It won't sell more" you're a pathethic pussy that can own up to any claim
>>553810339I think they get a bit confused when talking about bulls and chains
>turned off all the worst unique locations in the settings while playing an Order faction a few days ago>start up a new campaign today, turn 4 I get a Black Hand unique location>check settings, all of them are clicked on againWhy isnt it saving my settings? Thats pretty stupid.

So in 40kTW there are 2 imperial armies to play? How does that work? Is it 2 vs 1 vs 1? I don't get it.

>>553811238No...
is throt the most fun skaven? specializing in monster units seems more fun than just making a line of guns
>naming specific titles for the game's playercount to be compared against is not a definition according to the shit-eating 40kuck freakazoidLmao. The only thing you accept is shit in your mouth, subhuman. The thread in question isn't even THAT old, which means you're not only a shit-eater, but a lying shit-eater as well. Then again, what else to expect from a 40kuck lol.
>>553811087Source? I thought only follows were public
>>553811360Nurgle recruitment is ass no matter what.
>>553811401If you like to play battles than yes, monster armies are way more fun than boring gun lines.
>>553811401Lines of guns have their own fun, it's all down to playstyle IMO

>Rajesh is back and using AI to support his arguments
>>553811632Legend did all that... For nothing... You ingrate fucks!
>>553811948I was not aware that 40k launches today
>Sukhdeep has no argument and immediately starts projecting as he is mercilessly crushed by ironclad facts, logic and numerical datakek
>>553811054There are more factions. Like in Warhammer 1, there were 4 (5... actually 6)) major factions and tons of minor factions. Then they keep adding more, even splitting major factions into different factions. Then it's all about diplomacy, alliances, conflicts of interests, etc. Also it's 40k. It's not uncommon for different Imperial factions to fight between themselves. It doesn't have to lead into a massive rebellion like the Horus Heresy or the Badab War, but it can be something "minor" like Months of Shame.
>>553811948>Comparing a mass appeal brainrot zoomers game to a strategy gameSigns of loss.

I went into this battle with zero confidence. Even now I'm not sure how I even won.

>>553812908The only reason 40k is not a warengine, total war rome 2 reskin like all the rest is because of hyenas.Imagine how bad it would be by now if they didn't lose a shitload of money
>>553754741At least you can cook. Who are you?
>>553812908Sega will probably give them a bigger budget now that they see the potential. This game is easily getting 10+ years with content ranging across multiple new tabletop editions.
Nurgle has by far the most powerful recruitment of any faction in the history of Total War.This is an objective truth and you are unable to debate this absolute fact.
>>553812954idk can you?
>>553813563A single Armstrong Gun turbomogs the entire Warhammer roster, therefore any FotS faction has the most powerful recruitment.
>Rajesh has now started throwing a temper tantrum because he cant stand 40k having such high numbersUh oh, melty
>>553813563>Nurgle has by far the most powerful recruitment of any faction in the history of Total War.Its just the Thrones of Britannia recruitment system.

Which lore is best of these for recruiting a lord on belakor?
>>553816464Look at all that butthurt
>>553811948Your point? Borderlands 4 sold 2+ million copies in 2 weeks. That's far more than any Total War to date in this time frame. This is starting to look very good for 40k
>>553816538Anon I choose to believe that because it would be funny. Don't bring Merchant into this. I would also settle for him being a white middle aged balding redditor
>>553816851HOW CAN YOU WISH FOR A GAME YOU HAVE BARELY SEEN THE GAMEPLAY FOR WITHOUT BEING A RETARD?
>>553816817Belacuck is already a shadow mage so I would probably pick something else. Fire's always good.
>>553816932I believe he is Irish.
>>553816817Any, that's the whole point, Be'lakor is Archaon but for Daemons.If i'm remembering correctly, only Shadows and Death can become Slaanesh and Nurgle and only Fire and Metal can become Tzeentch if that informs your decisionmaking.>>553816915Warhammer and 3K have certainly reached those heights over the years but your right that 1mil on launch would shatter all previous numbers.
>>553816817Out of these I'd pick Metal or Death because I like them, then Fire, then Shadows. I like variety so all will exist at some point I guess
Why does Tzeentch feel so gimped compared to the other mono goods? Worst start position in the whole fucking game. And the other lord is a literal shitty gimmick campaign. The southern Chaos-wastes takes like 12 turns to travel from one end to the other. It's fucking insane. So I am going to use a start pos mod and go somewhere else. Any recommendations?
>>553816817Shadows.The other 3 are cute memes but are barely usable in real combat.
>>553817953>fun gimmick campaign. ftfy
Ashigaru spamming the entire campaign is for redditors. There, I said it. If you aren't building a pimped out recruitment settlement with a blacksmith + encampment you aren't playing the game
>>553817953Both are fun, and if you don't like where Kairos starts, use his cults. You can get away from there turn 2. There's two cults in the north, one in Bretonnia, another somewhere else, I think north east of Kislev, just build the teleport faction leader building and you're there. Tzeentch's only problem is a shitty tech tree, it really is awful
>>553817506Just on that point alone since you just want to evolve to Nurgle lore the only acceptable choices are shadow and death
>>553811087>>553811632A stunning victory fellow sisters!

>>553819848Fucking imbecile.
>>553811632I'm not clicking that. You won't trick me, Ghorst.
>>553819467Agreed, it should be a pack of them with different stuff. Dog units always have some purpose in chasing down units or annoying ranged/artillery, but Leopard basically only exists to annoy crappy single entities like mages because it can't beat anything else, which AI is bad at using and Kislev can just use the likes of Kossars, Streltsi, Little Grom or Ice Guard to shoot them down anyway, or just use good melee shit to remove them
>>553819848lol
>>553819467>>553819605It's a highly vulnerable, anti large, dog unit. If you have anything large routing you can send it to finish them off.
>>553816915>Borderlands 4Flopped so hard it killed the franchise with the absolutely worst player retention which means no DLC sales. I can only dream of TW40kids flopping as hard since I doubt it'll actually kill Total War even after gigaflopping.
>>553816051Over 80% of people on Steam have a GPU no better than a 3060. No massive leap in graphics doesn't mean the system requirements aren't going to get bloated, because they always do.
>>553820158Which is there only role, you know what else has that role, isnt nearly as fast but fast enough and wont die so quickly? Their cavalry, not to mention the summon has about the same worth as a Snow Leopard and will die just as quickly. Baffles me how the supposed pet of choice for The Ice Court is nearly useless while the Ice Wyrms are OP as fuck.
>>553820430The series doesn't need ultra realistic graphics anyway, give me better animations, physics and VFX instead.
>>553819467It keeps killing my heroes.
>>553819848>Posts the most retarded shit>Calls out for others ageAlways makes me laugh.
>>553819467It's a cheap anti-large beatstick that's not supposed to take damage. You use it for hit and run or embed it in chaff to chomp on big butts while they're beating the chaff. It has fallen out favor at the highest level of play recently, but highly skilled players have used it in competition plenty in the past.
>>553813528It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our cuisine. No one cared who I was until I put on the mass.
>>553820803Maybe stop letting your heroes fight alone or next to a spearman?
>>553820014>>553820149>>553820816No seriously. Post age. Because as an adult, I've bought numerous games thinking they were going to be great but turned out to be trash and have developed a healthy skepticism for such products. Seeing you onions over it when you've barely seen any of it bothers me as history repeating itself
I'm looking forward to TWW40k, I hope it will be fun

Also, there has been some recent disturbing data coming out about Stemie game preferences. Basically, most people nowadays are buying cheapass games like $20 Silksong while gigAAA titles like Cowadoody and Bottlefield are flopping. (My favorite example is the $70 Outer Worlds 2 selling less than OW1 and Avowed lmao). People literally don't want to buy expensive games and this does nto bode well for Total Transhammer 40kids.
This infighting isnt very wholesome sisters
>>553822215>Bottlefield are floppingIt was literally their most succesful Battlefield dude, what world are you living in?
>>553822321Don't respond to frogposters.
>>553819578Felinids look like THAT!?
>>553822321Look at the launch peak too, and this is for a game who's userbase on PC is spread between Steam and their EA launcher (formerly origin) that has a fuck ton of old BF players remaining on it since they own all the other BF titles there before the series came to Steam
>>553822321>wasThat's the keyword. The game has lost most of its players and people have been shitting on it hard recently. Both BF and Cowadoody are flops.

>check /v/>no 40k thread upExplains the raid desu
What we really need is STREET FIGHTERS GETTIN PUMMELED TO DUSTin total war
>>553822620It is a flop. Look at the current player numbers and the ongoing reviewbomb, the game is a cheater infested ghost town. That's a death sentence for a live service game.
>>553822536Losing the player base has nothing to do with the initial sales though.It sold fucking 7 million in three days.
>>553822609>I'm looking forward to tww3, I hope it will be funIt is though
>>553822783Live service games count on continuous player engagement as much as they do on initial sales. Youtube is filled with videos like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue5JxMNpYTc
>>553822536Is* I mispoke. The rest of your post has nothing to do with launch sales, it is objectively not a flop, had the best launch in the entire series>The game has lost most of its playersAs is natural for a game of this nature out for months> people have been shitting on it hard recently.Nothing to do with if a game flopped or not anon..It already sold - it sold 20 million copies compared to the previous record of BF1 15 million. And this is over BF1's entire lifespan, BF6 got to 20 million at end of 2025. It is objectively not a flop according to every logical metric.Unless you have a different definition of a flop
>>553822810With mods
>>553822810Its not
>>553822925>why I QUIT [game]It's not a job dude...
>>553822925>Moved goalpostsLol
What lord is the most tung tung sahur
>>553822953>As is natural for a game of this natureWrong, it is the exact opposite of natural. Your entire post is retarded drivel. The game is a flop dead in the water with no players, dogshit reviews and no one to sell new shit to. You're a dumb fucking retard.
>>553822121Larry Laffer as LL mod when?Holy shit, his initials are literally LL.
>>553822321>>553822525>>553822783>>553822620This is what I've said before. Frogschizo has no defined criteria for a game's success. He will just change definitions to claim everything he dislikes is a flop. If TW:40K outsells all previous TW games he will still move goalposts to call it a flop. Case and point. Stop replying to him, his oppinions are worth less than shit he just lies out the ass.
>>553823050AAIIIIIEEEEEEE
There isn't anything in 40kek that could take on this duo.
The strangest thing about this thread is seeing people reply to a german shitposter with a scat fetish unironically
>The amount of cope from froggyI really hope this is an act dude.
The only thing getting moved here is my shit down your throat.>applying live service criteria to live service games is... le wrongSnap your dumb fucking neck.
>>553823290When avowed flopped after he spent months shilling it violently for some reason he had a multiple thread meltdown on /crpgg/ and made an entire "I'm quitting this general" post so no it isn't
>>553823189>WrongNo it's correct. This was the case for all BF and Cod games, they have a huge swarm on launch and only a part of the playerbase remains consistently and return for content updates. It's not an mmo. BF6 is the most sold BF game by a mile and sold faster than any previous BF game. Your post is retarded drivel.
not a single worthwhile post made in the last ~16 hours or more
>>553823129The future of Total War...https://youtu.be/6eF5540jGiE?t=15
So anyways, what factions are you playing first in 40k?I'm excited for the elf shenanigans
why are the same looking daemons that are in 40k which stand up to giga advanced future weapons dying to little dinky swords in fantasy?
>>553823514lore
>>553823514Negrons (my way of daying demons) are fake beings that are literally made up, so the way they get hurt or not is also fake and made upThey are literally fake so they react to things fakely as well
>>553823504Transsisters!
>>553823189>live serviceNah it's not dependant on that, the Battle Passes are easy as fuck to make and aren't pricey. Evenn if all players stayed for a few years, the BPs still wouldn't scratch the shekels they got from sales. This is not like Fortnite with primary income being skins, BPs. This is a full price game that just uses BPs for pocket change. They didn't have those before and still had updates for free.
>>553823504I don't know anything about that game because they haven't shown anything so noneMaybe playing elves sends a hitman to your house to crush off your cock, we don't know anything yet, so I can't say
>a part of the playerbase remainsLess than a 1/10th is not a "part", child, it's called dead game lmao.>return for content updatesAlready happened, game still dead lol.>sold faster than any previous BF gameMeans nothing when total revenue is a function of the game selling shit throughout its entire lifecycle, except there's no lifecycle to speak of for BF6 anymore kek.Dumb shit-eating subhuman.
>>553823514In fantasy they have a hard time manifesting due to the vortex and need a ton of corruption to maintain themselves.In 40k, if a rift opens on a planet it might spell doom for the entire planet since the daemons have the strength of a whole galaxy psychic energy powering them.
>BF>not live serviceDidn't read any of your retarded drivel past that. Snap your dumb fucking neck, retard.
>>553822215>>553822536>>553823189Frog, even for you this is a new level of retardation. I hope you're just baiting with this and don't genuinely believe this shit. It is one of the most profitable games in the last few years. If it sells a bit more it will be the only Battlefield game to go into the top 50 best selling games of all time replacing Phasmophobia
>this shit again76k is actually a very healthy player count for a modern live service game and you don't know how player counts work
>>553823981Of course you didn't because you can't counter it. Live service games like Fornite depend on that aspect for profit, BF doesn't. It's profit is from full price initial sales.
>>553823832>>553823981>>553824093please properly link to the post you're replying to so you don't continue shitting up the general after I hid the conversation
It's a dead shit cheater infested game with no players and no prospects for live service monetization. You sound like a dumb retard who knows nothing of the game industry.
>they think the steam numbers is indicative of the whole playerbase HAHAHAHAHAHA
Why do you keep replying to this retard? It should be obvious to every non-mentally ill person that BF6 didn't flop. He lives in a reality of his own and should just be ignored.
The only way to counter retardation like the one spilling from your ass-mouth is by caving your skull with a shovel. No one is reading it.
>>553815553>TW40K cannot work, will not workIt wont.I will just be Dawn of War with more models
So this is the narrative the kraut cuckfag will run with when TW:40K sells well?>Total War is a live service game you guys, the fact that the gorillion players playing it on launch shrunk means it flopped>No ignore that it was the case for all previous Total Wars
>>553824609sooo... total war
Grim
The real question is how will the dilator market recover after Transhammer 40k flops and 40klitties commit mass suicide thus cratering the dilator demand?
Bit weird that Vargheists are completely silent
Anons I'm genuinely curious, is this guy a dedicated baiter or is he unironically schizophrenic?
Haven't fought a defense in forever. Do I just bunch up my dudes at the main victory point?
I'm fairly new to fantasy TW and>is comboing debuff spells and a damage spell supposed to be that strong>is the autoresolve always this badthis was a pyrrhic victory on the autoresolve btw
>>553825161you pick the most defensible points at each angle and hold there. Ideally leave a unit or two to man the towers on the enemy approach. Bleed them out before the proper fight begins.
>>553816817iirc Be'lakor reduces the cost of shadows magic faction-wide, so shadows is easily a strong pick. I can't recall how dedication works now, if any lore can go to any deity, but that's an important concern too. Maybe make a save, recruit each one, and see who you can dedicate to. If you can dedicate any lore to any deity then that's not a concern but I remember it used to be one. imo shadows > metal > fire > death although death is good if you're dedicating, since you keep the initial lore passive and a 2.5 wind refund per cast is decent.
>>553825161Its looking kinda grave for your prospects.
>>553824609>just be Dawn of War with more modelsNice
>>553825020The latter>>553825176Autoresolve is math calculations, it has nothing to do with how the fight would actually play out
>>553825176>is comboing debuff spells and a damage spell supposed to be that strongYes>is the autoresolve always this badAbsolutely.
>>553824609I bet TCALUK will even add the attack-move button kek.
>>553825176How good autoresolve is tied to your difficulty.What are you playing on?
>>553825427should have done that 20 years ago
>>553825275yea but I gotta beat them enough so they don't steamroll the rest of cathay>>553825270thx
>>553825020Genuine schizo
I want an undead faction that starts in the chaos wastes.
>>553815553THE SACRED TW FORMULA !!
>Console slopLOL
>>553825514Yes, we should return to such engaging gameplay as:1. Select your entire army via the cursor box.2. Press "A" as in attack-move.3. Point your cursor on the minimap area where the enemy blob is.4. Go make some coffee.
>>553825771basically what already happens anyway
Is it viable to play late game Delves without using massed shades? Do their monsters/infantry hold up?
>>553825771Yes that's what total war is, tourist.
VGH.... starcraft campaign gameplay...
>>553825859Singlcel blobtranny cope. MPchads meticulously play the 130 IQ game of picking the best engagement in every match even when playing Counts and Nurgle - the dedicated blobber factions.
>>553825907yeah black guard and executioners can beat most things in melee if they have some support, their cavalry is slow but hits hard and their monsters are very nice too. Kharybdiss is sadly niche but Hydra and Medusa more than make up for that. Don't forget the chariots either.
>>553825907>monstersNot really since no heals>infantryBlack Guard and Sisters of Slaughter are fine for endgame but not gamebreaking, dont bother with the rest.
>>553825907Yes you can just spam darksharts
>>553807936No, in late game there are less factions, so the turn times are faster, get continent clearer and delete the zones that you aren't going to play in if you want even better turn times
>>5538260701. Learn english.2. So... you're saying adding it won't be a problem for multiplayer anyway?
>muh anglo dogspeak!No one cares, anglo filth. I will mangle your dogspeak any way I desire.
>>553804343>another patch that will make cheats unusable for weeks that adds and fixed absolutely nothingFor fuck's sake, stop
still more well behaved than this thread
Being a Har Ganeth Executioner must be great because unlike the average druchii, they need you around so when you get gangbanged by witch hags and hellebron, they wont murder you, at worst they might stab you but they expect you to execute other druchii and slaves instead.
>>553826684what in the ordertide fuck
>>553826858Yeah but you're exclusively there to get pegged
>>553826998>peggedTheyre the Cult of Khaine, not the Cult of Pleasure
>>553826684>umgi in the 1st line to repel the elgi D-day
>>553826264>it won't be a problem for multiplayer anyway?That's literally 5 people, no one plays MP
>>553827249And yet the game is balanced around MP. Curious.
>>553808790>1M
>>553827249in that case I'm kinda lost what's the argument here>>553827347because for singleplayer you can just adjust it however you like with mods, nevermind a bazillion different mechanics that make it inherently unbalanced anyway. Balancing for MP is the only sensible choice, 9 times out of 10 it still works fine for SP anyway.
>>553821310The cat ate em
>>553827409Fuck off nesh
>>553827409what if Slaanesh wasn't sadistic and was just a goddess of pleasure and eating elves?
>>553822609Warhammer3 is the best total war ever made and will continue being the best for many decades.
What if they added a Chaos God who does dip?
Why the fuck am I fighting Valkia as the Hung? This bitch is just me but better in every way.
>>553827227Dawi would be angry about that and consider it a grudge
>>553827762you mean the Horned Rat?
>>553827865Jesus fucking christ this is the worst idea for a faction name
>>553826684>*8hours of walking a lord in a circle later*
>>553827505>because for singleplayer you can just adjust it however you like with modsThat's not the real reason. The real reason is that base unit stats don't matter in singlcel cuckpaigns. Doesn't matter whether your goblins cost 325 or 400 gold to recruit, you'll still get 60k gold per turn income. Doesn't matter whether your goblins have 28 or 26 MD, you'll still pump them to 80MD via redline, tech tree, lord/faction effects, landmarks and other cuckpaign cheats.Nothing matters in cuckpaign so there is no need for balance, you just stack all the cheats and slam whatever shit you buffed into the stratosphere into the enemy army without any thought or engagement selection.
>>553828089kinda impressive how two sentences were enough to let me know there's no need to keep reading
>>553808790>wishlistsokmaybe convert that into sales before celebrating?
Kinda impressive how I didn't even need to read your post to know that I will be accepting your seething concession in a couple of moments.
>>553828089so... what I explained immediately after the part you quoted? Just, you know, not like a baboon.Let me guess, you're conservative?
>>553811087It will easily dethrone HoI4 and become the most popular strategy game
>>553828572That sentence just tanked my mood. Because I can't believe people believe that.
>>553828405You started with cheats (mods), but they don't really matter. What matters is the cheats ("""mechanics"""), which you did mention, but did not put emphasis on properly.
I can't wait to mod in non-shithole human factions into 40k to make chudlarpers seethe
>>553828572hoi4 is the most popular strategy game???
>>553828839Ah, so you are illiterate.
>>553828965yes and it's not even weird. WW2 is super popular
>>553828903Can we add cathay? Spic muhreens are giga boring.
>>553826118>>553826172Are Hydra and Kharibdyss not good? They used to be some of the best in their roles in WH2.
>>553829090I suppose. I just didn't know people liked map painting THAT much..
Your concession (tearful) was already accepted.
>>553828572lmao imagine believing thattotal war is niche compared to paradox and warhammer is niche compared to the nazichud fantasy genre, 40k doesn't stand a chance
>40troons this delusional.Yes yes and Darktide has more players than Helldivers
>>553829184Hydra is fantastic, very tough and deals good damage. So good in fact that Kharibdyss kinda doesn't have a good niche, Hydra can tangle against large entities and heal up whereas Khar is much more fragile. But it has niche uses, it still hits harder and that passive leadership debuff AoE can be very useful.
I hope the chinese copy paste all the warhammer factions to 40k with their mods so I can play ikit and tamurkhan and skarbrand.. and disable all the 40k factions besides tyranids cause they are boring sloppa.Gonna be awesome!
>>553829519James Wokeshop would have a fit and send in his hitmen
>>553829768They can't control our mods. Fuck em.
>>553829768The anglo dog bows to their Chinese overlords. They'll do nuffin'.
>>553829420Just trying to figure out how to build Lokhir's army for mid-late game. I know his corsairs kind of fall off, or so i'm told. Are bloodracks just better in every way to the regular Medusa? I'm thinking like Lokhir, Spellcaster, Witch for the replenishment, A mix of executioners and black guard, 2 medusas, and sprinkle of hydras and maybe a few kharibdyss cause I think Lokhir buffs them.
>>553829236Total War is a casual moviegame of strategy game genre. It was easily outperforming those literally who GSG mappainters for autists until CA went full retard and decided to make only antiquityslop about brown people, instead of Medieval+ settings since 2013, thus suiciding their entire Total War series save for Warhammer for no reason.Spacefags have only Stellaris in practice. Stellaris will be the only TW:40K competitor, a 10 year old game they all have already. All of them will buy TW:40K, which will pander to faction customization crowd anyway40kfags will buy it TW:40K since it's 40kTWWfags will buy TW:40K since it's sequel to TWW3And on top of this normalfags will buy TW:40K since they will be told to buy it in ads. Even some consolefags will be baited into buying it lolTW:40k will be such a gigant it's insane.
>>553829154Gotta add Cathay to AoS first>actually there was an entirely new realm we never knew about>it's the plane of jade and it's the most prosperous and populated and solo defeated any Chaos intrusion that tried to enter thanks to its Realm Wall built entirely out of Xigmarite (known to the gweilo as Sigmarite)
>>553829837Grace could...She took her banhammer to workshop.There was no goonermod to ban.The worshop was hers.But Grace has left...her powers gone...
>>553830395I'm a big fan of space, my fav object is NGC 6302.. and I got the autism..How the fuck is 40k supposed to scratch my space itch? Stellaris does it, it lets me look at cool stars and planets and blow em up and such. 40k isn't space.. 40k is magic bullshit.
>>553830498Perhaps...
>>553829519The only interesting factions in the entirety of 40kek are the Mechanicum and Craftworlders, but thanks to the infinite appetite for pure garbage that 40k fans have, GW only feeds them primarchslop drama and epic chud bait.
>>553830745Stellaris is space magic literally no different from 40k, what the hell are you about?
>>55383091540k has nothing to do with space. They don't even travel through space, they travel through the stupid chaos realms.
>>553830863>it has come to our attention that Eldar are actually too cool and haven't had their scheduled humiliation ritual in a while>Uhhhhh space marines can use wraithbone too. Fuck you.
The entire appeal of the space part of Stellaris is the exploration part.>sending exploratory fleets and science ships to survey>getting a feel about your spawn point, your neighbors, your hyperlanes, where you should expand and where to chokepoint>finding planets, assessing them for colonization, and exploring anomaliesa 40k game would have none of that. The map is static. The planets already discovered and colonized millennia ago. There's no spacefag appeal.>t. 4 digit hour playtime in Stellaris
>>553830395Retard """logic""". None of the people bought DoW3 or the DoW remasters simply because it was a space RTS. And no one bought those same shit games due to them being Transhammer 40kids since the 40kids playerbase doesn't exist. And normies didn't buy them either. And fantasy chads like me will just laugh at your sci-slop and pay Ivan $20 on the gray market to get a Steam key while specifically avoiding sending money to GW.
2spooky...
>>553831263almost like they're not the same game
>>553830983Anon what are you even talking about? Factions literally do travel through space. Imperium uses Warp travel as their way to move between systems. Other factions have other means. You have wormhole gates in Stellaris as well. Different FTL means aren't weird in this genre.
>>553831337I'm providing a counterpoint to the utterly idiotic and retarded claim that>Stellaris players will buy TWW40K because it's a "space strategy game with a map"
>>553831396No, he's right. There's no actual space gameplay in what we have been shown. The campaign is just a linear progression of planets you pick and then you fight on that planet.
>>553831396The warp in 40k is the chaos realms from what I've read.In stellaris I can move my huge titans and planet destroyers around and watch space whales and black holes and build dyson spheres..40k won't have any of that actual space stuff.

This is your reminder that Total War 40k will 100% have BOARDING ACTIONSScreencap this
>>553832295ok then.
>>553831479You fight in a detailed system which can have up to 10 planets, you aren't moving between them in a linear fashion by completing one and then switching to another. It's a more elaborate and indepth sea travel mechanic. Actual planets have normal regions and detailed terrain like all TWs since Rome 1.Another layer above that, so a galaxy map will work in a linear fashion tho
>>553832295Well yeah, that's obvious. It will make more sense than disembarking to fight on a island too.
>>553832485All I see is a linear progression of planets and a bunch of copewords you wrote which I didn't read.
>>553833064Seems like you are blind and dumb thenWe literally know exactly how it will work like already
No, I am not blind, I can clearly see what was actually shown - a linear progression of planets. I'm just not a retard who reads your deranged copedrivel.
>>553832485looks like it's just gonna be "click planet, lil animation of a ship wobbling out of one planet, inserting itself into the other"
>>553833662>>553833698nopeagain, we know this alreadyPlanets have normal regions like in all TWs since Rome 1 with regions and detailed looking terrain. Travelling between them is functionally naval travel, but more indepth
