>>555795005>Midnight in WoW
>>555795119Literally the biggest normie magnet with the housing update, my peach. It's going to suck all the FFXIV casuals right up like a giant vacuum.

>>555795293lol I don't care about FFXIV
>>555795581>women and trannies making blizzard record profits while poaching players from the only "competitor" (lol) MMOUhhh, are you trying to say that women and trannies are based?
>>555795768>record profitsHow does that affect you?
>>555795886It means that the game I like will continue to receive content updates, duh. Maybe a certain bri'ish company should hire more women and trannies and start making record profits by giving people what they want too. I bet a random danger hair off the street can do a better siege rework than the clowns currently at the wheel.
>>555795581>foxie shortstacks>maghar orc mommies with cute tummies
>>555796120>It means that the game I like will continue to receive content updates, duh.What good is that if they're shit? No one cares about anything happening in that universe anymore.
>>555796417>What good is that if they're shit?But it's good, though.>No one caresBut it's exactly the opposite: Midnight (literally tranny coded expansion in every way) is the most anticipated expac in forever and is already wildly successful while we're still in prepatch.
>>555796623>the most anticipated expac in foreverYou guys have been saying that since Legion
The last time I heard people talk about warcraft outside of spaces dedicated to warcraft for a reason other than to shit on it has been years.I haven't seen any massive hype or general appreciation for it since before fucking mists of pandaria.
>>555794183The aesthetic decisions for a lot of that setting are just utterly baffling.
>>555797052It's leaning towards power fantasy and given the 40k fanbase it makes sense
>>555797726I don't know what kind of power fantasy floating around on a balloon like some goofy clown is meant to evoke.
I'm not a fan of Epstein or cuties and I respect women. LL's for this feel?
>>555798408Well you've heard of inflation, yes?
>>555799379Queek
>>555799379No WHF LL fits this description.
Oh no...
>>555795486Lol what a bitchHe says positive comments are boring so he ignores them and negative ones are more interesting then he bitches about how people don't have his back and has melties over insults.This fag expects you to have synpathy for him.
>there are trees on the map>all look similar>only some hide troopsThis is grace's fault.
>>555804218You should have awareness that being terminally online creates this impulse: positivity is expected, so it's dull. But negativity demands a response, usually an emotional and unbecoming one.
>>555806532>This is grace's fault.Someone post her D.VA cosplay
>>555793872If you kill your enemies, they win.
Will my TW:W3 install be upset if I'm cheating with Starsector?
>>555793872Rival warbands have a good fightHe gets excited even when one is killed offHe realizes they need strong enemies. He sends emissaries and cultists to make those strong enemies reveal themselves and wage war.Chaos intervention draws attention and coalitionsOther players in the Great Game undermine him.He gets beat.Armies are expensive to upkeep so they disband.Khorne is annoyed.Two warbands start showing promise.Cycle repeats.
>>555794946>Why are sieges slogsFor the same reason lords would rather waste troops and money waiting a siege out in real life: defensive fortifications are supposed to be a pain to attack.
tips for playing volkmar? he's the coolest looking one out of all the empire but I can't get his start down well enough

Why do ogres so hungry?
I'm almost impressed by the balls on this guy.
>>555807879>my lord should we build fortifications and kill zones to make it impossible for attackers to breach our defenses without incurring heavy casualties?>no chamberlain, we must build really fucking tall walls and easily-destroyed but narrow gates that are both easily overcome but really slow and time consuming, so that the enemy commander will be so fucking bored that he won't command his men to storm the walls even if he would win
>>555811295sovlfvl hvdvgh....
>>555809887BIG DOGS GOTTA EAT
>>555811625In Attila, a lot of siege maps were designed around layered killzones and the basic result is that a couple garrison units could exterminate entire 40-stacks of elite units. The issue is just AI. In practice the attacker can make a defensive siege unwinnable by effective use of artillery and missile units but the AI isn't smart enough to do that and attempts to make it try usually blow up in CA's face.So instead they shifted their approach and just made it so that the siege map design was an active liability for the defenders.

is da khazid mongah, /twg/!
>>555793705
>>555830321Hashut alunku!
>>555813113Depends. The new units dont fit into "form a box and fast forward" meta, but allow you to make different types of armies besides just melee + crossbows + artillery- Onyx Crowmen hit way above what their stats suggest. Couple of them can easily rip enemy backline apart and they are unlocked early.- Jade lion and Jet lion are early SEMs. They are alright. Jade lions have more offensive stats and free bound fire breath spell (like Wind Blast), while Jet lions are defensive and have Bound missile mirror. So instead of battle box, you can build aggressive melee rush armies: crowmen attack the backline while Lions support your Jade troops. For sieges having multiple flying units is godsent and the Lions can knock down gates. Missile Mirror is also godlike against Skaven and Tzeentch. Turning ratling gunner/flamer fire against themselves is peak kino.

>>555856035Can't speak for anyone else, but the Malus Darkblade books were among the first Warhammer novels I read and that magnificent, edgy, self-serving, backstabbing, used and using asshole was what made me fall in love with them.I still rate the series among the best Warhammer books.
>>555853880idk i want to play as the fucker with no hands he seems fun
>>555856724>>555856035Druchii are just exaggerated fantasy Americans, albeit much more attractive and fit than your average burger. The whole dog-eat-dog, screw you I got mine, slavery is based is very American.
>>555858050They're similar to our ruling elite, but I wouldn't say the average American is like that, though many do secretly find shit like Epste*n to be aspirational.
Have we got any new dlc info yet? Dogs of war for valentines, maybe?
vampire counts in a good place? Thinking about starting a vladdy campaign. Haven't played him since WH1
>>555858573Last news we got:https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war/blogs/92>loking forward, we have some development changes to make you aware of. The first is that Neferata – Nagash’s Mortarch of Blood – will become our free Legendary Lord coming alongside Patch 8.0 aka The End Times Update. We had originally planned for her to be the first character in our new ‘smaller’ content packs – which we’re naming Character Packs – but after some lengthy consideration, it just makes thematic sense that she and a Vampire Counts Update arrive alongside The Great Necromancer.>So, who’s going to take her place for our first Character Pack? We’re always keen to explore more of the unknown in the Warhammer world-that-was, so we’re venturing back to Grand Cathay with a thematic twist with a fearsome DLC that will come roaring in to claw back that space left byNeferata- plus an assortment of lore-inspired content. What’s also different about this pack is that it’s smaller than our normal single pack. We’re trying to get more content out that doesn’t necessarily have a place to build a giant faction around. The pricing for the pack will match the value of the content in it. While this is an experiment for us, we do think the value of the content is there so there’s a reason for us to do it. However, expect it to be less than our normal pack price of £7.49 / $8.99. You’ll hear more from the team about this new pack in early 2026.
>>555859710They got some new stuff over the years but they really havent changed muchWait for bone daddy for a proper rework
>>555859710Their general unit quality is pretty shit and absolutely requires a caster of some sort baby sitting them individually to be anywhere close to decent most of the time, this ensures they struggle horrendously against most of the high quality high leadership factions they have to fight constantly in WH3.Them not having any good and convenient ranged units also makes it really hard to deal with enemy large a lot of the time, since some of their anti large options are really bad at getting to swamped large units, and swamping those large units in the first place is difficult when the AI doesn't care about economy and easily matches your numbers often.They feel left behind by power creep.
Vlad loses to Karl Franz in a 1v1. That is how bad things have become.
Karl Franz beats Vlad in a 1v1. That is how great things are going!
>>555859710Vlad/Isabella are ok, personally I prefer playing Izzy to get the vampire hero doomstack going quicker, with their AP and ridiculous tankiness once levelled, it's an unlifesaver harr harr vs dawi. Just focus on the essentials - get some grave markers up ASAP (recruiting zombie shitstacks to die in droves helps), focus on building the t3 growth building for the global necromancer recruit rank (I build literally only these for the first ~30 turns to get them on lodestone corpse carts, plus this saves a ton of money), utilizing your heroes and elite units in addition to shambling hordes. Gotta get a bit lucky or strategic with diplomacy to avoid getting dogpiled, but they're fun. The real challenge is avoiding burnout when you fight hour long battles back to back because AR doesn't realize how potent carts + zombie blobs can be.
>>555856035I just think they're neat
>>555856035I just think elves are super cute, especially the smug jerk ones.
>>555865431understandable, smug women with pointy ears are special

>>555892183making the map so big it would waste huge amounts of time to run to the edge every time would be an interesting experiment to find the sweetspot where normal people dont do it but autismos suffer
>>555895225I like WH1 Dwarf/Empire campaigns. Sure, they lack "extra mechanics" (press button to receive buffs), but there's things that really cater to my specific preferences. I really like that you cant inhabit mountain settlements as Empire, so instead of blind blobbing you have natural incentive to build alliances and help dwarves retake their holds bordering you so you have natural buffers. Armor piercing is a lot more rare so armor feels more valuable: Chaos Warriors are a lot more threatening, dwarven infantry feels a lot more like ironclad wall of steel and knights being armored matters more (and not all elite cavalry has automatic AP so there's more asymmetric balance). The campaign also has better overarching story; you have your initial enemies, then consolidation of nearby bigger threats and then you prepare for Chaos Invasion (which you should mod to be a lot bigger though), whereas WH2 and WH3 main campaigns feel just like endless blobbing while waiting "unlock final battle" counter to go up.
>>555884623>Boris is around this week in NY!!!
>>555899890Brets were also fun, albeit janky. Norsca was also fun. Wood Elves were, okay I guess. I remember WoC being kind of unfun. The impression that I remember getting from Vampires was that they sucked really badly in sieges, except Nehek was broken because there was no regen cap, so it seemed like you were either cheesing really hard or handicapping yourself.
When I watch combat it just pisses me off how clunky and borderline broken it is due to everything relying on slow, awkward animations that make the triggers for attacks or movement barely functional.>model A wants to attack model B>model A slowly shuffles to rotate 90 degrees>model B attacks something else>model A now slowly shuffles to rotate 90 degrees the other way>model B finishes his attack animation and is back in his starting position>model A once again slowly shuffles to rotate back the other way>model A finally attacks>model B slowly shuffles to face model A>model B does a lunge attack and lands behind model A>model A now slowly shuffles to rotate 180 degrees>3 minutes later>model A is chasing model B routing>model A hits model B and knocks him over>model A just runs around in circles around model B>model A never again attacks and instead runs right next to model B>model A just shoves him out of the mapI hate it.

>>555881443Then why bloody declare? so annoying.
>>555881796Nurgle baby
>>555903082because CA's solution to the player being bored is to force x amount of strength worth of factions to declare war on them
>>555902136and also the first like-minded individual that i encounter and who will probably die in a couple of turnskysliev stands alone
>>555899026damn son
>>555901268Yeah, Bretonnia was really comfy. Besides Norsca you really didnt have any big enemies, so you could really play intl the "french nobles fighting eachother" trope. Norsca was great since you werent sandwiched between Empire and Chaos Wastes, both of which hate your guts and sandwich you from both sides. Now that you mention it, Norsca is one of the few factions that's best experienced in WH1. As for WoC, I somewhat disagree. They are vastly better gameplay-wise in 3 (god-specific units, warbands and whatnot), but aside from that, in WH1 context they nail the theme down perfectly. You cant have armies next to eachother so generally you'll face superior numbers constantly. With AP being so rare, Chaos Warriors more than compensate for that weakness. It felt like an intoxicating power trip. However the campaign feels somewhat meaningless with your only objective being "kill everything". With small map this is somewhat reasonable, but if they had final mission akin to Beastmen's Fall of Man + specific last stand mission for Empire/Dwarves/Bretonnia, it'd be peak kino. And yeah, Vampires suck, thats for sure. Without skelemanii upkeep reduction they are just chaff Empire but worse, having similar numbers and relying on Nehek spam to cheese your few power lifters to make them invincible, but it never fulfills the "uncountable masses of undead" aspect I feel is vital to VC experience.

>>555928387The game would play so much better if animations followed actions instead of actions following animations.Classic MMOs for example, the action occurs and the animation tied to it is purely cosmetic, it's to provide a small visual cue at best, you aren't held back by your character needing to complete some ridiculously clumsy animation to do anything.

Is it worth it to have more than one spell caster to get access to more spells?
>>555943848Depends on too much for a general yes or no.
>>555944193Okay, so to give some examples, would it be worth it to have access to Lore of Death and Lore of...I dunno, something better at buffs even if it required my hero and my Lord to both be spellcasters?
Am I just supposed to eat the negatives of the Support system when playing as the Orthodoxy? I'm fighting nothing but chaos right now and I'm at 11 support tiers vs 3 for the ice court and have invested fuck all into supporting either side, on top of that Katarina is expanding south like crazy since I've essentially secured her north of all threats early.I'm not sure I understand this system or something
>>555944302I'm gonna be real with you.Buff spells are almost never worth it over just casting more wind of death and invocation of nehek.Most buff spells are giving like 5-15% of your army a mild combat buff to the models actually engaged in combat for half a minute or so. Invocation of nehek allows units to just exist longer or be reinforced while the enemy army is running away and wind of death just kills a ton of shit directly.Buff and damage spells are balanced for MP, which means buff spells are meant to be effective in armies of like 5 units at a time and damage spells aren't balanced around the AI putting literally their entire 20 stack in a straight line.
>>555927838>character experience gain for an item you need to have on for ages because it's a 2% WoW mount dropBruh
I play on Legendary difficulty and I'm not sure if I have ever suffered a revolt in all of my time playing Total War: Warhammer 3.
>>555945379>take first settlement of a region>someone attacks/is about to attack your home province>leave to get them insteadSometimes that will do it
>>555943848Generally no. Even hybrid lords are a so-so besides the initial spell they start with. You're usually strapped enough as it is with yellow and red line skills; red line makes your army a lot beefier and putting points into yellow line allows you to delete enemy lords. Its much more efficient to have secondary hero draining exp to function as spell battery.As for second mage - generally no. You can drain your WoM pool with a singldem caster just fine. There might be some very specific edge cases, but most of the time you're much better off with one more SEM/power unit if you already have a spellcaster flinging spells.
>>555942875Check your womb for tatoos.
IMPORTANTAre there any mods that can turn down the replenishment/change post battle casualties.Armies losing loads of dudes, deaths etc and then afterwards the units are at 80% health and back to full in 2 turns
If cascading fire cloak had a reasonable area of effect(maybe 100 meters) instead of only effecting literally one unit maybe I would consider using it over instantly deleting a quarter of the enemy army with a burning head.
>>555933890After Total War: Malazan Book of the Fallen

>>555952068>since theres not constant updates anymore,God, I wish CA could just fuck off finally
>>555946673That's literally every single buff spell in the game. They all fucking affect one unit out of an army of 20 so its always the question of>instantly delete 10% of the enemy army or make 5% of yours fight a little better for ten seconds
>>555953072Some of them have area of effect but it's only 35M so it doesn't do anything for more than 3 units at most practically.And the buff also isn't doing anything for men loitering in the back rows so buff spells are even more anemic than they appear on the surface.
>finally decide to play chaos dwarfs>it seems boring at first>get some artillery and guns>nice kills>get Dreadquake and K'daai Destroyer>holy fuck so much death and destruction>it's like I am playing S2 FOTS but with more magic>never doubt the chorfs again
>>555953072As much as I despise SFO and its combat changes I like that it made buffs and debuffs a little more usefulAt the bare minimum most of the durations should be improved a bit. Lore of Metal's armor spells were permanent changes on tabletop. Give me that at the very least
>>555956392>metal wizards making dwarfs permanently naked and axelessThat's too OP.
>>555956392>can spend winds at any time to apply buff spells to your units and debuffs to enemy units permanently or until the wizard dies/flees>winds are not refunded if the wizard loses concentration from dying or fleeing>strategically balance your winds allowance between permanently buffing portions of your army, permanently debuffing portions of their army or saving for healing spells and damage spells>encourages players to engage with the vast amount of variety of spell/school/unit combinations you could specialize your armies around>nuking the enemy wizard(s) and protecting your own becomes way more important and tactically engaging>wizards are now practical for being more than special artillery or healslutsWow, this would make winds management extremely engaging and give you a reason to use way more schools of magic and spells within those schools and just add way more tactical depth to the gameplay in general.Too bad CA is retarded.

>>555958354Sorry but that would make the 12 or so mpbabies shit themselves, and after Hyenas there is no more money for diapers.
>>555960914mp players have been begging CA for literal years to improve buff spells as effectively all of them are a waste of WoM
>>555961476I like to use them on my lord or big monster when I want them to kill the enemy lord or big monster quickly
What the fuck are beastmen trading us?
>>555960914Even in small scale battles they really only see use in early campaign shitstack fights because that's your only option until your wizard is leveled up enough to use practical spells, and later you can just recruit wizards at a high enough level to have the good spells immediately.In the tiny MP skirmishes you can just buy wizards with good spells right out the gate. If you want to get the most out of an AoE buff spell the AoE is so small that you need to blob the units you're buffing, then those units you just blobbed for a buff that sees a return in about 20 seconds get instantly blasted by some wind or vortex or bombardment spell that is infinitely more efficient and tactically viable than blobbing up multiple units just to try to use buff spells.Buff spells are shit literally everywhere you have a choice between them and something else.
>>555799379Malus, obviously. And no, that's not sarcastic at all, in the books he is extremely deferential and respectful to every woman he interacts with. Pic related is typical.
>Be bored>Comb through steam achievements >80% of players who have played Wood Elves have finished Season of Revelation mini-campaignSo whats the deal with CA saying "Mini campaigns were really unpopular"? 80% of players who bought the DLC playing through it is huge. While there isnt achievement for "finish any campaign on any difficulty", only 60% of people who bought WH1 played a single quest battle, so the amount of people finishing any campaign is less than 60%. Mini campaigns were hugely popular in contrast to average campaign completion rate. Sure, if you cater to 5% market segment you'll get 5% of the sales, but among that segment it was a great hit. The issue wasnt mini campaign being unpopular, the issue was implementing it to unpopular race. If Empire had story focused mini campaign you'd see ~75% of people who bought WH getting the DLC (which would be major commercial success considering you'd get 33% price of the full game from making one small map to one faction instead of multiple on huge map and you could develop it in an existing framework, ie it'd be fraction of development cost of the full game)
>>555949770Yeah, sadly RDO was only playable in private lobbies. The "default" keyword lobby was great fun but nowadays you'll have like 2 players there if you're lucky, and logging onto RDO without any lobby name means you'll instantly get teleported to a hacker with godmode and infinite ammo as soon as you log in.
>>555963747Yeah honestly even with SFOs MASSIVE improvements (and when I play without SFO I use a WoM cheat that massively improve them as well) it's still questionable using them over your damage options, so obviously if you're playing the normal version of the game you have to be some kind of retard to ever waste WoM on them at all. Idiotic design.
I'll bet 10 peasants from Tigermen Village that we get news this month.

>>555984043Chinese new years starts that day....the year of the fire horse. The element for the year is...fire. One of the expect units to come with Li Dao is Ki-Rin which is the Chinese fire horse in Warhammer that has been around since 1st edition...
>>555984043Do you have any evidence that we are getting news on the 17th?
>>555986470he is probably going by the ca discord where they said last week announcement was delayed to mid february and most people are assuming it means the 17th because tuesday is usually when they do these things. that being said the Chinese total war boards I went on are also expecting that date because it is the year of fire start date and they think the dlc is li dao.
>>555986724I fucking hate when they use pisscord for that. Can't they use steams news window to let us know? I don't wanna sit in some rancid discord. I wanna open steam every day and see what's new

>>555996715It's either very skilled malicious programming or dumb luck that that AI glitches out to screw over the player in so many different ways, perhaps even both.
>>555998021Considering CA has a history with Anti-Player Bias, the former is pretty likely.
Since Ka'Bandha is the only guy left for Khorne missing from End Times do you think he will get a character pack? There are still 2 Khorne units from End Times that can come with him.
>>555998926No. Chaos will get the ninth WoC lord that will also be inferior to Archaon. The rest will be Undead and Order.
>>555999048You think WoC are getting a character pack? I thought they would be in End Times DLC with Vardek Crom the last chaos undivided legendary lord that is missing. I think Khorne and Nurgle are both getting character packs. The Glottkin can be the LL for Nurgle character pack.
>>555999048They could just give us Engra Deathsword, he's presumably the one who stabbed the previous Everchosen in the back, so CA can make an alternate scenario to fight Archaon.
>>555998926yes i think he is getting a character pack and so will all the other monogodskhorne>ll: ka'bandha>lh: haargothnurgle:>ll: glottkin>lh: feytorslaanesh>ll: nastasya roskolnikov>lh: vandredtzeentch>ll: egrimm van horstmann>lh: melekh>flc: galrauch
>>555994378>>555994713Wouldn’t Khorne still be somewhat disadvantaged by the thing lowering the winds of magic reserves in the area, ironically making the demons lose the spell resistance buff they would otherwise get?

Please help, I just started Three Kingdoms (restarted, more accurately), and it's still as intimidating as it used to be. How do I do anything? What's a good army composition, what are the best kind of generals to have in an army, and who's a good starting hero?
>>555994713Dorf item only it seems
>>555992402Yeah, with Gorduz in the army they can be pretty decent. In that army they're almost as good as tech-buffed Cathayan Peasants
>>556004660Cookie cutter build would be Green or gray lord for melee infantry: green is more defensive, gray is more offensive and best non-LL duelist when he gets Tenacity of Steel. Red for cavalry + their lords are chaff-killing glass cannons. Blue for support lord that buffs ranged. My personal cookie cutter army was gray (=sentinel) lord with 6 shielded swordmen for mainline. Blue lord with 6 ranged with fire arrows (swap 2 into catapults once you unlock them). Red lord with 4 shock cavalry and 2 spearmen (I find 4 is plenty enough with how strong and expensive cav is in 3k, plus you need couple spearmen to protect your ranged from being annihilated by enemy cav).
LL for this feel?
SLAYERS (routing)!
>>556006168So I shouldn't strive for "a little of each" but play into my lords' strengths, then.For the very few I played, I really love the guy that unlocks formations, I think he's yellow? Or blue?Thanks for the army recommendation, I'll definitely try that.
>>555950041Funny story, the entire bot crisis was basically just one mentally ill Russian guy with a fetish for a Dandy's World-esque robot cartoon character.
>>556006467Happy to help. Nearly every advanced unit gets formations in 3k btw. Even basic bitch green shielded spearmen get shield wall. Only peasants dont. Lord bringing extra formations with him may be fun but not that useful. If its yellow lord I'd advice against picking him, as they have worst unit niche (shielded low-charge cavalry in a game where even peasant high-charge red cavalry oneshots entire units) and they are really bad at duels. Cao Cao (LL) is an exception since he gets really strong campaign mechanics similar to Changing of Ways.Its been so long I dont remember which LL does what, but they generally match their generic lord counterparts (green = defensive spear infantry/duellist, purple = defensive sword infantry/duellist that gets stronger the longer he duels), red = shock cav, slightly worse duellist (except Lu Bu who is a monster), yellow = bad duellist, support buffs, shield cav (I find almost always worst option), blue = ranged, abysmal duellist

>>556006906>Nearly every advanced unit gets formations in 3k btw. Even basic bitch green shielded spearmen get shield wall. Only peasants dont. Lord bringing extra formations with him may be fun but not that usefulYeah but I love them. I find that formations add so much to the game, it feels like a disservice to not use them. Especially the circle formation, it's something like +25% parry chance or something, it's big, very big.And I think it's blue? I remember it's the ranged infantry Lord that gives formation bonuses, which always confused me because formation benefits melee infantry the most, and they don't get a lot of spearmen.>they generally match their generic lord counterparts Yes, generally. This is what really confuses me, whenever I try them in skirmish, it's balanced: I can slow down a duellist general with shield units, I can duel generals that specialize in melee combat against units, and so on.But the second I try a campaign, I meet some super lord that just ignores my handy little cases and I lose heart.And that's before I get into bandit lords, yellow turbans, and the South savages, the nanbans.
Times you acted like Night Goblin Big Boss (Great Cave Squig)?
>kill lord and win battle >their army gets to retreat and just spawns a fresh lord and all their units regenerate for the next turnhow is this fair?
If you guys just let Legend talk about how much he loves trannies then he would pivot back to Total War.

>>556007651Yes, we know, but they are adding skaven to 40k anyway.
>>555965608Don't trust TCA on most things.But, for the most part, large campaigns are more fun as long as I don't have a bullshit long victory condition.
>>555965608>>555978071The only good thing about the mini campaigns and the vorslop and realm of slop main campaigns is wishing the entire map in Immortal Empires was of the same size and design because the other campaigns have visually better and less cluttered maps where it will take you more than 1 turn to capture the next closest settlement but since Slophammer is filled with ADHD retards that want to finish campaigns by turn 30 and TCA is incompetent as fuck we cant have that.

What cheat mods are you guys using? I've been using console commands a lot.It's a bit of a hassle to use with its interface, and teleporting lords isn't super reliable, but it's been great for getting interesting battles set up instead of factions sitting on their tushy for years.
>>556022697I use that to give Kairos 4 stacks of chosen every turn.. and at the end of every turn he disbands 90% of them cause he a broke boi
>>556024258The AI can go broke?
>>556024331not him but they have money cheats and upkeep cheats but its still not free
>>556004660you want green red blue in every armygreen because they get turtle formation for shielded spears which is the most important thing in the gamered because shock cavalry is amazingblue because its the only one with siege weapons and also gets crossbows/archersif you play the meme hero mode then sentinel is okay for dueling because ca cant balance shitavoid yellow since melee cavalry is worthless unless its cao cao because he is overpowered as fuck anyway
>>556024331Ofc they can u baka. They are bound by money just like us. They get bonuses to income but if you steal all their money they start disbanding.Doing that is hard tho. I think Eltharion had a way to steal money.. then u gotta like.. ruin their cities with heroes who can destroy buildings.
I suddenly remembered that one guy who kept posting pictures of Shinji and Asuka poorly edited to resemble Vlad and Isabella because he headcanoned that by conquering Altdorf the vampire couple would be able to have sex and make children like regular human beings. That was weird.
>>556024684>they're bound by money just like us>three stacks of non-trash units on one provinceI don't think so, Tim.
>>556025638Anon, this is not an arguing matter. If I give Kairos 4 stacks of chosen, he disbands aggressively. If I also give him 300k gold he keeps em for 10 or so turns.Why do your think they often give you say.. 50k gold in a settlement deal even tho there are still 20+ in approval? They always give you as much money as it takes to get the negotiation approval down to 0.1.. unless they don't have that sort of money. And when you start destroying all their their, they stop recruiting and stick to a couple armies instead of the 10 they had before you stole 20 of their cities.
>>556025796It is an arguing matter.When you have so much money, you are not effectively bound by it.

Finished my Hard Selucid Campaign, took 86 turns to get the victory conditions>All of my political factions are about to revolt and I've run out of political options to keep them loyal>Means I'm about to lose all of Asia Minor, southern Italy and some of North Africa>As well as nearly half my armies>Everyone on my border that aren't my Satraps or Macedon hate meI could probably downsize by deleting all my non-dynasty armies and then have an easier time rolling over the civil war. However I'm worried everyone will take the chance to attack once I lose half my strength. Very fun campaign though, the Selucids have such a unique starting position. I'm lucky that I spammed enough militia pikeman shitstacks that half my Satraps never broke away. I had a safe Eastern border to destroy Egypt and subjugate Asia Minor before I turned eastward.Getting kind of bored of vanilla though, the AI doesn't do much and often fails to make major empires. The North African Tribes had grown quite powerful and Sparta may break their alliance with me. But as long as the Civil War, Betrayals and Invasions don't happen at the same time I'm gonna be fine. Might pick up the campaign again later to see if I can weather the storm, but for now I'm calling it a win.
>>556030791>imperium>skaven? they're not even remotely alike
>>556031312it's almost impossible to get a second civil war iirc, honestly the best move is to trigger it early win it and then proceed to ignore the political factions all game
hello, total losers. Haven't checked your series in a decade. Did they increase the number of units at least to tens of thousands?
>>556024429>red because shock cavalry is amazingHow strong is it? Compared to Shogun 2's where shock cavalry could wipe a ground unit?
Quality > quantity
>>556035457Not true in Auto Resolve, which is where the game is won
Wars are won before the battle begins.
>>556034808Some of the best in the series, even the simple Mounted Lancer Militia with the proper setup is better than endgame/higher tiered cavalry because its faster than all of them by sacrificing its defenses but has a still devastating charge
I'm trying Warhammer 3 recently. Does anybody think siege battles are getting out of hand? The maps are fucking gigantic and all this infrastructure management is a bit much in them. Idk I could see learning to like them in theory though.
>>556012595Idk why was the guy even popular?He always plays with the exact playstyle with the only variation being mechanic specific cheese.He is generally monotone, sour and frustrated. He takes jabs at stuff, but gets assblasted and has melties when he is criticized. He openly says he finds positive comments boring and focuses on the negatives because that's "more exciting", BUT then he bitches about no one having his back and about the negativity. You just have a grumpy guy looking for reasons to be grumpy and this isn't recent, he has been like that for years whenever I watched him. He was just more open about hating a good chunk of his auidence. He's just emotionally unstable at this point and full of resentment - he's seething at CA to a unhealthy degree. Volound had CA live rent free in his head for years, but he didn't ever have melties on stream over them. People here memed on him, but despite being a schizo tankie he comes off as better adjusted than Legend. Then again he is not well adjusted overall, actual well adjusted and interesting TW fags would be Turin and Heir, who aren't terminally online autists like Legend, Soitek, Volound, Apollo etc.His takes aren't particularly intelligent, a lot of the shit he said about CA was just common sense that others have been saying. When he talked about politics & religion it's just 2000-2014 centrist libertarian midwit babble mixed in with seething about AI & the companies & 2010s youtube/reddit atheism babble. Not even shiting on the positions themselves, but the low IQ early youtube way of looking at them. He could hold those positions and talk about them intelligently - he doesn't (yes even if I disagree with lolberts, you have ones that give non-meme arguments see Hoppe). He shits on reddit for doing that, yet he does it himself. He complained not being able to talk about those too, but sofucking what talk to your family and irl friends about the topics most other TW e-celebs don't sperg about it.
>>556036491He is the king of the SPlets
>>556036491>e complained not being able to talk about those too, but sofucking what talk to your family and irl friends about the topicsHe has almost none. He doesn't go out, he mostly plays vidya. Imo that's why his life is unhealthy and his mental health is getting worse.Steping away from that and being more social would do him some good.

>>556042818It is unironically my favorite game series. It has a semi-consistent formula so its easy to jump into any of the eras or settings. The latest campaigns I've played are>Rome 2 Selucids>Shogun 2 Chosukabe MP against Takeda, Won>Rome 2 Rome>Attila 1212AD Nicaea into Byzantines>Rome 2 Carthage MP against Rome, Stalemate>Empire TW Netherlands (highly recommend, 1 province in each theater is an awesome challenge)>Warhammer 3 Alberic>Warhammer 3 TyrionNot sure who to play next, thinking Arverni in Rome 2 in VH, I usually just play on Hard. Might give DEI another try, haven't played it in years. Getting tired of how passive and inept the vanilla AI tends to be.

>>556044654>brain damage
>>556044654So you're saying a starting position mod and a moody shader/lighting would do really well?
>>556045124A mod that returns lords to their rightful places, fixes the lighting to look more like WH1, and rewrites all the quest, item, and skill descriptions more like WH1 (not reddit) would fix many of the game's issues.

What faction best represents CA's attitude and practices? For me, it'd be Skaven.
>>556042903only thing that genuinely annoyed me about ToB was the defenseless villages and the AI's annoying habit of sending a small shitstack to uncap all your villsthe mod that gives them a small garrison is a must tbqh, other than that it's a great Attila DLC made by such a small passionate team

>>556056047You're getting ported to 40K
>>556055252Chaos Undivided is the most boring of all Chaos factions. Every single character is exactly like >>555895539. I'm genuinely curious if the writers did that on purpose to emphasize the "Slaves to Darkness" angle or if they actually think their special OC will be different.
>>556058480I'm going to take 'decision made by the marketing team' for 100. Writers would get bored of Chaos Undivided without a theme behind it.
You know what I'd wish they do?Warbands, sometimes with strange combinations of Godly worship. Like, honestly, I'm sure there's some fucking batshit insane Chaos Warband that even pays homage to opposing Gods.
>>556060537I think Nippon would make sense as a Khorne and Slaanesh worshipping nation.
>>556060537>I'm sure there's some fucking batshit insane Chaos Warband that even pays homage to opposing Gods.Yeah like most of them, the "undivided" shit.
I want 40k
>>556062242No no. I don't mean"oh we worship all the Gods, we have no theme'.I mean, 'we have a specific dogma focusing on these two Gods'.
For those of you that have done a randomized start campaign, what was your favorite one? Follow up, I can't remember the name, but the mod that lets the AI use your army so you can actually see the units in action for once, is that fun? Just looking to shake things up.

Reddit keeps teaching me thingsNever thought to not level a lord's yellow line and get blue lines instead
>>556064339>never thought to not level a lord's yellow line for blueThough it's not always optimal with legendary lords, many lords benefit from blue.
>>556064339Unless the lord is an exceptional combatant the blue line is always superior.
>>556064404>>556064667I just kind of end up tunneling on the idea of "character = duelist = need stats"Gonna try out the blue line in my current one, upkeep reduction seems really good
>>556064707Depends on your exact situation, obviously.But, for example, especially for secondary lords, it often pays to specialize them into army roles with their blue and red lines.
>>556064707The real truth is to put either 4 or 7 points into the red line so that your early game army is head and shoulder stronger than your opposition.Yellow line is cool but it only makes 1 guy really powerful.Spell line is incredible but only if you don't have a spellcaster hero who can fill the role.Unique line is almost always a must have.Blue line is solid but some factions have a much better blue line than others.
Empire units are way too valuable in AR.It thought this field battle that was crushed by a simple frontal assault was going to be a defeat.
>>556065084Depending on the specific lord, the Yellow Line might make them worth every other non-chaff unit in your army.
>>556065894I like the way all of your heroes are looking to the side in their portrait but then there is the Wight King who is staring straight into my eyes.

Route marcher, red into whatever unit I'm relying on like.. 3points in bloodletter or archers or whatever.. then if magic is available, a few into that to blob kill, then all into yellow till that's done.In the case of like Snikch I get ambush chance before yellow, while skilling yelow I get the replenish or money buffs for Slarbrand depending on what I need at the moment.. kairos for a cost reduction early on..
>>556071768Not to be confused with literally every other paladin that refer to themselves as "legendary paladin".
Henri le Massif has 3 unique skills and gains access to a Hippogryph mount.
>>556072227He's referred to as that in the unit card.

>>556058480That's mainly because unlike in fantasy, the chaos gods in 40k didn't have any positive aspects, so you only have thin layer of personality based on their gods. And what's worse is that minor chaos gods in 40k are never mentioned again except Malice or The Dark King, making chaos less variety with their motivation.

>>556125710That's exactly what GW is doing lately. They are doing pretty much everything people want.Recently they added renegade Red Corsair Raiders to fight against Eldritch Raiders Corsairs.

Votann exists yeah, Exodites will get a Kill Team first. By the time CA goes through existing content, they will be able to make Exodites as well.

>>556142983What chuds say doesn't matter, GW firmly aligned themselves with the other sidePeople begged for more females in IG and other factions so they get themPeople complained about narrative moving forward so it slowed down to a crawl and actually went backwardsKilling off characters caused uproar so they bring them back now, like YarrickKriegdittors begged for plastic Krieg and that they totally would start IG army if those released. So GW made separate range for them which flopped HARDPeople wanted Tau to get focus on auxiliaries so this happenedPeople wanted more Xenos so they keep expanding them and creating newPeople wanted more Eldar so GW makes themPeople wanted RT nostalgiabaitting so it's constant and relentlessPeople wanted more armor marks for SM and for chapters to get flavor units and upgrades so they make themGW does everything fans want them to do
>>556143390I wonder if that will be AoW3&4 tier basic customization of factions traits essentially or if they actually let us make our own Aspect Warriors or custom Marine troops.

>>556160342Cool. Do you have to be zinch Daniel to get changebringers or do undivided also gets them?
>>556160342>entire army is worthless>4 units do all of the job, 1 of those 4 doing half of the job of the other 3 combined
>>556138867I don't get it.
CA... Please... give us some news... ANY news this week

>>556151061>liking attractive women means you're woke
>>556160478you need to spec to tzeentch
>>556162784I like cute women in my porn and muscular boys in my games, simple as
With Shock Cavalry, am I supposed to charge the enemy and go through them or pull back after the charge? Because I've been charging them and going through them like they were chariots but I feel like that's only because I have the wedge formation.
>>556162784>GW>attractive womenLol. Feel free to post a 40k mini of an attractive women. GW still aren't capable of making a woman's face.Anyone got that pic of GW's official paint job of that SoB that had a man jaw and a five o clock shadow?[\spoiler]
Bloody hell I dont want this general to become 40k, another 40k game etc. Let fucking FB be. So sad. Everything is fucking 40k now. I like this shit but I want a place for FB and more FB autismohammer dlc. eh
>>556169042I'm sick of hearing about 40K already tbhwy.
>>556169042There will be TWW general on /vst/ after TW:40k release
This will become a Medieval 3 general.
>>556169856In 2032.
>>556169042After TW:40K content cycle we will get TW:Warhammer Remastered

lol what is this? I sailed Orion in this Vortex and i can´t interact with him anymore. even with clicking arrow on another army, i can´t get to him what the fuckhe ist gone forever
Buy an ad Penris
>>556169471I like 40k but I love FB. FB is just more memetic and "grounded" for me, personally. Anyway here is one of my very favorite FB picture
>>556166540Someone answer me
>>556161830I was referring to the entire Empire army being worthless except for 4 units getting all the kills, the Steam Tank which got over half of it.
Poor blue horror
>>556172275Das Innere Meer claims another...
>>556172275Lorewise, Orion should be lost for the rest of your campaign.Gameplay wise I don't know if it is intended or a bug.
>>556172524That giant is well compensated for his work
Siege :(Siege, Japan :D
>>556172998Shock cav do most damage on the charge itself so if you can go through them then keep going and turn around far enough to do another charge. If you can't go through them then let them fight for a few seconds and pull them back.
>>556172524I'd love for this thing to be a landmark in Middenheim.
>>556137834Chinese New Year is literally this month and it is the year of fire....
>>556183154See: >>556039875
>>556183342wouldnt those goofy ornaments on the end of the barrel make the gun a huge pain in the ass to aim
>>556166540Unless they're light infantry in loose formation you want to pull them out after their charge bonus wears off.
>>556157335DELETEYin-Yin will not shame Cathay again!
>>556166540Usually if the enemy does not break or get their formation scattered after the charge you want to run backwards unless you're a chariot or a very high mass shock cav.
Is Yin Yin cute?Because before I knew he was male, Aislinn sounded like a cute Navy wife.
I think that Necrotects are neat
>>556187672Yin-Yin is Cathay's pride and joy, any insinuation she shamed Cathay is a Chaos falseflagtrust the plan
The man-things are abundant
I sure do love mods that make cav in shogun 2 not dogshit
i bought the first omnibus for the gotrek and felix books. are they good bros
>>556189963>>556187672I got the yellow fever too but.. those are disgusting landwhales.
>>556195735>landwhales
>>556192741Is that the William King ones? The Earlier G&F are pretty comfy, and we need more Female Chaos Champion.
>>556200161Yes anon, those are being harpooned by the cathayans
>>556144927>soulskill yourself
I realized that I don't see the game as total war anymore, I see it as warhammer. When talking to the mates we say "wanna play warhammer", not total war. Any game that isn't warhammer is not total war to me. It's uninteresting, random slop.God I love playing warhammer.
>>556200161look at the way she moves mate. A drunk dwarf not a graceful elf to be sure.
Golden Order soldiers be like:
fuck this I'm gonna binge CK3...
>Mazdamundi built a great big wall and made Malekith pay for itPretty funny ngl
>boot up tamurkhan campaign>race south to take settlements before kholek takes them>struggle vs Kholek's chosen and trolls and other large units>archaon declares war on me at the same time or soon after>archie invades my exposed border with 3 armiesguys how tf do I survive this hurdle? I either kill kholek and archaon ignores me and I faceroll the campaign, OR I get sandwich'd between the two and campaign reset
>>556213693somehow you manage to find one of the few games with more DLC powercreep than Total Warmy favourite bit is how Japan can amass armies larger than all of Catholic Europe combined because muh samurai blocs
>>556214825ok I opened it up again, and you just sit in fast forward and click on menus marrying people in Ireland and you can't even fight anyone!
>Spent $15 to get Kroq-Gar's prosthetic arm cosmetic in Bloodbowl 3LL for this feel?
>>556211960You just know her asian mom is filming, chanting something about grandchildren the whole time.And the poor guy, just wanted to teach English with no strings attached... now he's tangled up in a web of intrigue.Do not venture into the mysterious Orient!!
Custodes DLC soon.
>>556186417>Loose formationWait I thought that was only a thing in 3k. Or did you mean wide/thin?
>>556220367cute daemon of tzeentch
>>556220827She will kill you, anon.
make your prediction, will i win? shitty lord without winds of death, legendary, veryhard, experienced enemy vs unexperienced
>>556221848Can these skellies even kill high level Grom?
>>556221848>no purple sunWhat? I would probably corner camp and then try terror routed them with summons.
>>556220367can't wait
>>556222410not even poked him>>556222414i know i could cheese stacking ontop of eachother but what the heck.Paunch kept chasing after my cav around the map like a tool, i took out their goblin arty with my lord and summons, but nothing i could do for spider arty, cav damaged some of the archers but couldn't kill them fast enough, RIP (for now)
these men go now to sleep with the fishes
>>556225302>fishesthat's a mammal you DUMBASS
>>556225803it's just a big fish
>more Cathay DLC, my lord?
>>556225803Fish just means sea creature
Sea otter is a fish.
>>556226235correct
>>556226235are mermaids fish then?

Is it really possible for a psychotic hippie girl and a bretonnian peasant chud to be in a relationship?
>>556228924yes. it happened in the movie Forrest Gump
>>556228924churlbros keep winning...
I'm sure Drycha would be fine with this
Will skaven in 40k be chaos chumps or more of a standalone faction fighting everyone else?

Even by Skaven standards this was some seriously fast mass routing. Showed up, panicked, ran away.
>>556238047lmao what the fuck
/twg/ threads always remind me of some wacky retirement home.>endless arguing over old thing good, new thing bad, or how thing that was good has gotten worse over time>some like to complain about how they would improve things if only people would listen to them, and never do anything about it>complaining about the chinese>complaining about hippies>complaining about the french>a few schizos constantly talk about rats>if you talk about history it can trigger those who mentally live in a fantasy world>everyone sitting around waiting for the newsand who could forget>knowing that you can never leave

>>556246140Warhammer is filled of crust old fucks born from the 70s and 80s. Of course, it feels like an elderly abandonment center. Only Age of Sigmar has a decent population of young people

Shocking news in 30 mins.
>>556238047In all fariness, Drycha's forest spirits all cause terror so low morale enemies will almost always shit themselves.
>>556247867The news is that their patches will be slowerhttps://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1qvphix/next_up_patch_71_and_a_change_to_patching/>redditYes dont blame me that's where these retards choose to dump their news
the dragons keep sacking their gates instead of capturing them its really irritating to watch seriously 4 times in a row I've seen zhao or meow attack and sack one of the gates I don't think these guys give a shit about defending the bastion at all
>Men only dream of one thing>Restore the Roman Empire
Are Tormentor's Hold's being valued WAAAY too high in trades for vanillafags too or do I have to dig around to find the mod responsible

>>556251476Grenade outriders delete elite infantry units in single volleys while cathay doesn't even have skirmish cavFactions are not supposed to be symmetrical and campaign is not suppossed to be balanced either
What if I'm playing the Chaos Dwarfs and I have the best everything?
>>556256294That's antisemitic.
>>556256294The cav is kinda bad, no? Wolf riders are okayish for light cav but bull centaur are slow and low armor for a very expensive price. They also get fucked by unit caps in campaign too
>>556256964Bull centaurs are like the best chorf unit lmao.
