It sharted and flopped almost immediately after launch, losing over 90% of its players.

Not what that means, it sold well
Flopping is about failing to meet sales. You just change definitions to suit you.
You're a retard BF isn't a live service game in the sense where it hinges on it to be profitable. It's sidebux for them, they already made 5x their budget in profits (which includes post launch support)
I expect you to spam the same shit about How TW:40K is a flop even if it outsells all other Total Wars because muh player loss.

Franz is not a direct descendant of Sigmar, so that's a moot point. The Empire keeps track of his bloodline well enough that we know Volkmar is actually descended from Sigmar.

But also it's been, like, what, 2000 years since? Any traces of draconic heritage probably faded a few generations ago if that could have even been a thing.

It's based on the Holy Roman Empire (>>>) and if you know anything about it, you'll know that it was extremely decentralized and in practice was really just a regular ol' kingdom with a king and various dukes offering loose allegiance, with the added factors that said king (the emperor) had to actually be elected by the electors and also they had beef with the Vatican and the Pope multiple times. And from that context, they were actually one of the most progressive nations around the period they comprehend, being one of the first to install things like parliaments, courts of justice that also included the lower social classes, public services, universities and evolving into a proper federation that slowly left feudalism behind (over a long ass period, so don't come complaining that that's not the image they gave off while Charlemagne was freshly dead).

The Empire is mostly based on the Rennaissance HRE, so you've got a particularly innovative and progressive nation during a particularly innovative and progressive period of time, and it doesn't operate as a proper empire but as a federation, which means Karl has to actually respect the wishes of his fellow counts and the masses actually have a voice.

Don't look up the Thumb Tax and Window Tax incidents and Mornan Tybalt. Everyone fucks up every once in a while.

You're welcome.
I mean, honestly, it's what makes me like the Empire, the sheer relatability while keeping things fantastic. By knowing history you can actually figure out what the average person in the Empire lives like, how they work, what they do when they're in trouble or what they do when they're trying to prosper. And then of course you mix in some fucking wild landscapes or knights riding on demigryphs and charging at lines of orcs or you've got Hogwarts faculties spread around Altdorf at the same time as you've got the Nuln college of engineers pulling shit like "Leon Todmeister's Fantabulously Far-reaching Harquebus of Unforeseeable and Unperceived Bereavement" which you can just imagine in some corny ad to get people to buy it.

Hey gamers, what do you guys who play tww3 play on in regards to unit size? Default is large and I've read in 20 different places that CA tried balancing the game around every unit size, but I see people swear by ultra
I hear ultra has more dudes than large, which makes artillery and AoE a lot stronger (on large it already feels really strong...)
Is that so? Do you like it?
>>
>>554107867
I always play ultra because I care more about the spectacle than the balance.
>>
>>554107731
IRON WITHIN
>>
>>554107867
If your computer can handle it go ultra, turn down any other setting to achieve this.

It is way more fun to play on ultra, anything below that and a lot of direct damage stuff starts being way too powerful (mortis engine effects, spells, etc start deleting units instantly, monsters/cav can no longer be bogged down by infantry).

Large is the balance for multiplayer, because they are much more limited in special effects, upgrades, spellcasts.
>>
>>554101529
Progressive isn't the word I'd use.
The HRE wasn't a kingdom or a country so much as a loose coalition of states individually too small and weak to defend themselves. It was a sort of Medieval NATO, with the caveat that its members spent more time fighting one another than any outside invader.
It went through periods of increased centralization, and increased decentralization, but most of its political reforms failed and never went anywhere and it progressively just sort of dissolved as a political entity.

In its height the "Emperor" was selected by a poll of nobility and then ratified by the Pope, but the Pope was not accountable to the electors and both possessed the power to effectively veto their selection by refusing to ratify, and to ignore them entirely and appoint someone else. Which he did, a lot. Technically, the Spanish Crown held the title of Holy Roman Empire for most of the Renaissance, which effectively meant the HRE had no leader nor centralized authority.

The most noteworthy impact of the HRE's existence was as a forum to mediate the Hanseatic League and have the Pope legitimize it.
>>
>>554107867
It's best on ultra yes.
>>
>>554107867
So here's the deal.

say you have unit a and then unit b fight eachother in melee (same concept works in a gunfight). One is clearly better (A) and will kill the other (B), but how long does that take? small you might not even get a minute because there aren't as many models. You can take a look away and surprise surprise your unit is gone. Very punishing, but very light on your PC. Ultra you still lose the matchup, but you have time, maybe two minutes to look at the bad placement and fix it. You might even get a chance to leave the engagement, but your PC works harder.

So depending on your rig and spectacle factor aside, bigger is better.

I wouldn't use the word progressive with the connotations we have in current day, but what else would you call it back then? I also did use the words innovation and development, but those might not imply the social aspect of it to anon. And yes, obviously they went back and forth at times. We're talking long ass fucking processes that took centuries.

>>554107867
Singleplayer is balanced for Ultra. The only reason to not play on Ultra is if your computer can't handle it, which is why it's treated as a "graphics" setting.
Just as much as there are AoE abilities, there are also single target and direct damage abilities that become much too strong when you lower the effective hp pool of a unit.
>>
>>554108723
Ah yes, my favourite faction, the iron hands
>>
>>554107867
Direct damage spells are unscaled, but still strong on ultra. As you lower unit size, this 2000 damage spell goes from 25% -> 50% -> 75% -> 100% of a units life.

Multiplayer is on ultra, they are specifically annoyed that some abilities like Fay Enchantesse's mortis engine doesn't do enough damage now that the game is on ultra unit scale.

This is the real truth that the Elector Counts and the Dragon Emperor don't want you to know.
People like to believe the "official" story that Franz sobered up and stopped being a womanizing manwhore when he became emperor, but the truth is he just got sneakier about it and started fucking higher-status bitches.
He's got his cousin-wife, his childhood friend/fuckbuddy Emanuelle (you don't think he just gave her Nuln as a friendly present, do you?), kinky pet-play sessions with Miao during "diplomatic summits" with Cathay, and even something with Tzarina Katarin (eyewitness reports claim to have spotted the pair taking a romantic flight on Deathclaw).
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason the Laurelorn Elves just "Happened" to establish an embassy outside Altdorf is because Franz is banging one of their princesses or something.

It's simply disingenuous to suggest that the HRE was innovative or demonstrated anything resembling a parliament because it had hereditary nobility meet at a table twice a year and argue with each other. The individual histories of many germanic kingdoms are interesting but as a collective entity, well they just weren't one..

It's one of those specious historylet memes to misrepresent medieval Germany as some kind of nascent kaiserpunk chrysalis waiting to emerge as a fully formed German Reich with all of its breathtaking and groundbreaking administrative reforms burgeoning in throbbing minds of its obermensch citizens. But the truth is that there was no Germany. There was just a hundred tiny little kingdoms, each of them as backwards and brutal as any other part of Europe, who spent most of the medieval period fighting each other and very occasionally banding together under a pope-appointed warlord to fight someone else. They iterated through about a million different forms of diplomatic forum in a couple hundred years because they were all sat around watching their neighbours kill each other all the time. None of those attempted reforms stuck around or persisted for more than a generation or so, and they never succeeded at making the region more stable. Rather the successive failures accumulating over time are what led to most of its members essentially just disregarding it entirely.

What Warhammer depicts is Bismarck's revisionist narrative of an ancient furor teutonicus, struggling and divided in the absence of its divine founder, awaiting a true successor to emerge and harken a second Reich with gunpowder and artillery and steam tanks. It's not serious and it's not supposed to be taken seriously, it's a silly little caricature of a little man's little delusion rendered with loving detail for our fun and enjoyment.

>or demonstrated anything resembling a parliament because it had hereditary nobility meet at a table twice a year and argue with each other.
...that's not at all what I was referring to. The system of the electors certainly didn't constitute a parliament. I don't even call it democratic. They didn't have parliaments on a national level until super fucking late (when the Emperor would summon assembly to discuss diets and privileges and shit), and as you said, it's hard to pretend it was a unified entity (it wasn't), but many of the political and judicial organs that in the future would go on to form the basis for proper systems of government were adopted and/or formed in that series of petty kingdoms as the nation as a whole did develop.

Reading the Gotrek and Felix series, you can actually see this in practice. One moment they'll pass through the Baron of Bumfuck's domain, and it's little more than a manor with a bound village nearby that's just a medieval feudal holding with a traditional lord. But then they'll keep walking further and walk into a town that has a council of elected representatives that negotiate with the elector count for the privileges of the town.

What makes the HRE interesting is that it was a mixed bag at all points, but being a mixed bag already means they were at points (both specific geographical and temporal) ahead of the curve from many other european nascent nations at the time. You sure af wouldn't say the french were more socially progressive than the HRE.

Well, the empire has a decently large population of dwarves living within its cities, there's a good chance that he came across some of their floozies as a young man and learned how to please Dawi women.
Admittedly however, I have no idea how a man who very pointedly stays clean-shaven would be able to seduce a dwarven lass. Could he really be just that good?

I'm gonna say what nobody else will, even if the Witch Hunters come after me for it: The Empire is under foreign occupation. Our electors, our nobility, fuck even our own fucking Emperor are OWNED by the Karaz Ankor. Why is that we send billions of crowns to them every single year? Can they not look after themselves? Are they really our Greatest Ally? And did Sigmar really say to "always assist Dwarf folk"? Something doesn't add up and not to be a conspiracy theorist but I heard they were inviting Elector Counts to the Southern Isles to have sex with Slaaneshi cultists which they then use as blackmail to make sure the Electors stay in line and only vote in favour of the Dwarfen Elite.

But the dwarfs have legitimately provided more military aid to the empire than the other way around, to a ridiculous degree. They're even directly responsible for the creation of the empire of man as much as sigmar himself is and protected it from the various threats that tried to destroy it at birth or supplied them arms and technology during times of war.
It's the empire that are their greatest allies.

It was the dwarfs that aided the stateless humans that would soon be the chosen people(of sigmar) across the mountains as they fled the greenskins that were attempting to force them into their notorious work camp, "da hall o' cost".
They then funneled weapons(ghal maraz, the runefangs, etc) and technology(knowledge of metalworking more advanced than copper) to the tribes of the empire and intervened militarily when their hostile neighbors tried to crush the fledgling state.

They somehow turned map corruption back on when they had to turn it off before due to memory leaks.

Playing as good guy Vlad, taking just Sylvania and fighting orks has made the Empire and the Dwarfs good mates of mine. Going to fuck up some random Tomb Kings squatting in southern Empire before taking out Templehof. That will get me 6 full provinces without ever having to fight the Empire or Dwarfs for territory.

I have 12+ endtimes events happening simultaneously as well as Archaon at turn 30 uniting all surviving Chaos and Norscans under his banner and becoming a superpower overnight.
Truth is, I can barely make it to turn 50 because even after I steamroll the whole world comes crashing down on me. I am having fun though.

It allows you to play more like how most of us wanted Kislev to be - 16th/17th century NOT!Russia with some magic peppered on top. Just like how the Empire is NOT!HRE with magic sprinkled on top.

also the molotov guys are fantastic

Only downside to the mod imo is theres really no LL in Kislev focused around guns

Hm.. should be doable with Tamurkhan, Kairos and Skarbrand. Maybe Be'lakor too.

I cant. I moved to semi rural from the city and the only ISP available is Telstra and they block uploads to 4chan.

He ambushed me in force march.
I Khorne'd him.

Some mod gave me, as Vlad, an undead runelord LL. Zufbar got overrun with rats. I sent this guy up there after multiple catastrophic battles fighting the rats streaming down from the mountain. This guy hit level 30 in sub 15 turns from the constant fighting, outnumbered before Sylvania was even stabilised.

>He can summon skeletal longbeards.
>Up to 4 units
>They scale with redline buffs

He sieges Zufbar and wipes out nearly 12000 rats. His long beards spawning in their backline and amongst them while having dwarf stats while being undead absolutely wrecks the vermin. Like a 20 to 1 kill ratio.

Zufbar is officially saved from the rat occupation.
It was done via a dwarf lord (technically) and the bravest and most effective fighters were also dwarfs (technically).

If I gift the province back to the dwarfs, I should be spared from the book, no?

Kislev still looks like ass to play desu lads, now with Throgg being OP as fuck I don't know if I want to get the cheevo for completing a campaign...
