Warhammer Fantasy 3: The Last World will make Lizardmen one of the common races. Which means sex with them will be more likely than ever before
>>562264268>fantasy 3Wait, was that smegmar reboot actually real?...Oh, I get it. They're going to reboot everything to slowly count up to the 39,999th reboot and then roll fantasy into 40k. A bold strategy, to be sure
Why are there no female skinks
Cathay > Empire
>>562265285Because lizardmen are sexless flesh automatons invented by the old ones to complete specific tasks. There aren't male skinks either.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
>dont play game for months (last year halloween)>come back>have missed literally nothingman fucking thing sucks
>>562281056CA's busy cooking 40k, they just can't spare the resources to make content for fantasois anymore
>>562283359Okay but how come theres no news about 40k or a gameplay trailer either?
>>562283567Don't think about it too hard, chud. Trust the plan.
>>562283567some posters have speculated that the alpha version met with a poor response from the influencers that were given a demonstration of it, so maybe they're overhauling the game. Tho knowing CA they tend to ignore user feedback.
>>562283567I don't want to be doom and gloom but I think they're worried that anything they show might get upstaged by dawn of war 4
Are there any up-to-date mods that move Malus back to the kiddy pool? It was far more interesting starting position for him compared to the Chaos wastes where he starts right next to all the other Dark Elf leaders.
>>562283567They said they would release a new trailer in spring... We just fucking entered it, expect it this month.
>>562284325NOOOOOO TWO CAKES CHUD.TWO SIMILAR PRODUCTS DON'T CANNIBALIZE EACH OTHER OK!??
>>562292385>expect it this monthThey also said it would come soon™ and before ET news. Hopefully it's this month indeed.
You will ally with Eldar when playing Guard, right anon?
>>562288195TWW2
>>562283567They said we would get news in Spring, and unfortunately we all know that this means it could very well be "End of Spring" to CA. While of course I hope for some news in April it would not surprise me if we did not hear anything until the Skulls event in May which is when GW tends to do video game and other non-tabletop reveals for 40K. That is very much within "Spring". Hopefully they just use that for a major showcase and do their own independent news releases this month, but still that at least puts a clear timeframe for the latest we can get news.>>562283956Lol, that is retarded you dont actually believe that do you anon? Influencers and other e-whores have no real power they just exist to spread news and be positive lest they be given the silent treatment. They will give feedback of course, but its not like it'd be enough to really delay CA's own timeline.>>562284325I know we are hyper critical of CA(deservedly) but come on now, CA is still a bigger studio and more well funded and has more resources than the DoW4 devs. IMO the brief snippet we got in the reveal trailer already looked higher quality than what we have seen out of DoW4 in terms of just graphical fidelity, which is mostly what people care about for initial news anyway.The games will also just be different. DoW4 is a more traditional RTS game that has a smaller scale, like squads of 10 marines fight against squads of 10 orks and 15 guards or whatever over traditional RTS maps. Meanwhile we saw in the 40K reveal the scale is entirely different, with units of like 5 marines facing down units of orks that were 80-100 orks a pop.It's a whole different vibe. I think there will be space for DoW and TW40K to both live alongside each other, though I expect TW will have much longer legs.
>>562292981Did they actually say we'd get more news before ET? That actually does make me hopeful that we get something before Skulls in may if so. TW40K and ET similarly have Skulls as a "Deadline" for news IMO.
>>562293626>Meanwhile we saw in the 40K reveal the scale is entirely different, with units of like 5 marines facing down units of orks that were 80-100 orks a pop.Thats pathethic desu3K has infantry units of 240 modelsShit, fucking Rome 1 has 240 model unitsIs 40k a mobile game?
>>562293969>Is 40k a mobile game?console
>>562293424That map has the obvious problem that the start location is artificially cut off from the rest of the ocean, hence why it got titled 'kiddy pool'. I'd like to play the same start but with the expanded map of 3. But seemingly the only mod I could find was out of date. Sucks, because his TWW2 campaign is really fucking fun, in a way fighting the same old Chaos shits up north just isn't.
I was playing total war warhammer 3 and I think archaon is kinda evil
>>562294349I meant Vortex
>>562293969I understand where you're coming from but I think some scale shrinkage is to be expected due to the cover system and general realities of having more "modern" combat. We don't know how advanced the cover system is but I imagine making units too big could cause difficulties for maneuverability and just general cohesion. Having more compact units is probably why they are going for the scale they are. Additionally, when it comes to Vehicles I imagine most vehicles will be SEMs so having like 1 Rogal Dorn to 240 Orks would maybe be pushing it.Could see some vehicles being multi-model though, like Chimeras and Leman Russes.
>>562271745Are you using any mods for Rome2?
haven't played for a year. since ostankya and co.is the next batch of DLC the last? is there a next batch, even?
>>562263127Post dark elf ladies.
>>562294748End Times coming this yearThey've said there is "plenty" more stuff coming but who knows how much that is, or when we get it.They are currently making 40k, Medieval 3, Alien Isolation 2 and Warhammer dlc. Quite a lot.Also Hyenas forced them lay off 300 staff so that will effect things as well lol
>>562295042We know Mung is coming, but afterwards they're finished with TWW3.
>>562295042fuck i forgot about hyenas. it doesn't even make the concord, highguard, etc. conversation
is ambushing units as they spawn on the map cheating?
>>562293969Do you have access to the full in game unit rosters on max unit scale to tell you whether or not 100 models is the largest unit size, dumb frogposter? Does it make you mad to know there is infantry in rome 1 that has under 50 models at full strength and maximum unit size?
>>562295827Anything that isnt a glat grassy field is cheating
>>56229603440k is a console game, and Fantasy is already quite small even on ultra compared to previous total wars. Skavenslaves are like what, 180?Fanbase didnt say shit, so CA could absolutely feel they have both the need (consoles) and safety (slopeater fans dont care) to go small.Keep coping though.
40k should have Galaxia LL
>31 minutesTalk about mp or cathay or anything else that sets off the local autismos or we're gonna die before the 100 posts
I think MP SUCKS!
>40k is announced>/twg/ dies
>>562296396>40k is a console gameA meaningless statement since older total war titles have been phone games for years.>and Fantasy is already quite smallMost regular infantry units in TWWH and medieval 2 are 120 models where in rome 1 they would be 160, though there are still many regular infantry units in TWWH with 160 models and in medieval 2 they didn't go over 150 without mods. 240 in rome 1 was pretty much limited to peasants anyway and total model counts in battles are on average vastly larger than either rome 1 or medieval 2.
>>562299137I kind of stopped caring about Warhammer before that, for several years. So now I mostly visit /vst/ for historical total war stuff.If I visit /twg/ it's only for dark elf ladies.
>>562299531Empire line infantry was 160, 200 for Austrians
>>562293765Yes, they said ET news coming this summer and 40k battle gameplay in spring, also 40k campaign gameplay coming summer as well.
>>562293969>240 spearmaniis Imoressive
>Cathay has allowed Dechala to farm like 6 level 50 agents>they start following my main army using wound hero EVERY TURN>even If I succeed in wounding them I will always end up with at least 2-3 of mine wounded anywayFucking hell this is grim.
Do you think that CA will implement some form of capture the flag battle mode like they did with wh3?Sounds much better than just perma eldar kite vs IG corner camp gameplay on every match
>>562300928They'll definitely add more defined objectives to 40k.Hopefully it sounds like they'll even be factions specific objectives.
>>562300648>Fucking hell this is grim.Grave, even?
>>562300928From that gameplay video, it seems landbattles wont be a thing for 40k. It will all be around objectives like the tabletop with even randomized missions maybe. CA would love to have their own niche e-sport so they could be balancing everything around multiplayer.
>>562301923I HATE THESE SNAKE RIDING FUCKS SO MUCH. How the fuck do they have 100% wound rate on another level 50 hero!?
>>562295042Stop giving me hope for AI2 you lying faggot fuck
>>562293969All TW games have various selectable unit sizesNothing indicates that the sizes in trailer were the maximum
>>562302558Seriously these heroes spamming wound hero and 6+ turns of fuck youre replenishment are ruining this campaign. I can easily deal with 5 armies of Dechala. BUT I CANT DO IT WITHOUT MY HEROES AND REPLENISHMENT.
>>562303536Admittedly, at least post warhammer 1 they usually do show off Ultra unit size in the promo material(though previously and for WH1 they would usually show off large). I wouldn't be surprised if this was max size. But I could see there being a level above yeah.>>562300928I assume you mean capturing objective markers like a king of the hill sort of thing. But anyway I am mixed on it. They actually had objective markers in Rome 1 on launch but everyone hated it. However IIRC those were literally just random circles in the middle of the field, so if the objectives were more smartly placed and had actual terrain to fight over it'd be fine.The trailer did seem to show off a lot of "mission types". Makes me wonder if it will be a big feature and your armies will maybe have to be organized for the battle type rather than a single 20 stack you bring around everywhere.
>>562299531>A meaningless statement since older total war titles have been phone games for years.Yeah and they were PC games first, dumbass. 40k being made with consoles in mind is enough to pretty much completely write it off as trash.
>>562263127I haven't played Warhammer 3 in three years and am now trying to get back into it, but I've completely forgotten how to play it. Are any of the new lords good?
>>562306996They all go pretty hard on the powercreep
Oh no.. Anyway..
>>562303489Wut? Pretty sure Alien Isolation 2 was confirmed in the making long time ago.
>>562308119Even Hyenas had a trailer and beta and it never got released. I don't trust words. Show me some real footage of AI2
>>562308407You'll have to wait some more then.
Egyptian carpets.
I really, really wish they brought back the Shogun 2 system of "if you trespass another faction's territory without first negotiating access, it's an automatic declaration of war". I fucking hate how a faction in bumfuck nowhere will declare war on me and then send stacks across the territories of three different other factions so that I can never have a safe border and concentrate on my actual close enemies.
>>562310138>Play Tyrion>wanna fight N'kari>sail around the entire fucking island for 500turns cause instant war declare if I don'tI hope you never became a game designer.
>>562310842Ask for access first you trespassing nigger.You're the kind of person to leave the shopping cart in the parking lot.
>>562310842>Complaining about sailing in fucking Ulthuan.
>>562311443>move to border of fellow helf>end turn>move in>OH NO AUTO WAR>anyway>rape em and take all their shitUr fucking mechanic achieved exactly nothing.
>>562312194>>562310842Price to the dumbest mfer in this thread right now.
>>562312194Then why were you even complaining retard.
The only counter to this army is shit maps and skaven summons. Switching to grapeshot when enemy gets in range is orgasmic.

>Naggaroth, the capital city of the Dark Elves, has become 2-region province instead of 4>Most of the Dark Elf provinces have at least 1 region with a climate unsuitable for Dark ElvesMan, they did not give a single shit when they redesigned this region, did they? The more I play TWW3, the worse it gets. Why is almost every change a sidegrade at best and a downgrade at worst?
>>562312194>rape em and take all their shitThat is always the answer.
>>562313272Or just having an AI smart enough to spread out it's units
>>562312194rape (you) and take all your shit
>>562314328How did miao ying get internet acces? Is cathay really THAT advanced?
Do the end-game crises replace the old Storm of Chaos mechanic, or does that still happen after them? Or has it been completely removed? And are they supposed to be extremely lame and non-consequential? I had the end-game crises on, and what happened is that I got a pop-up saying that Chaos Dwarves were up to no good, then 10 turns later the "crisis" starts with a new Chaos Dwarf faction popping up. Few turns later I get a notification that they have been destroyed, presumably by the strength rank 1 Orcs who had conquered their territory. Later I rolled around with a single stack and conquered the province while the Orcs were busy battling the Empire in the north, and the game declared that I had won. Is this how it usually goes, or did I just have really bad luck with the scenario bugging out?
>>562314328That horse would be a hearty meal for GROM THE FAT

>>562319795Shouldn't it be 25%?
>>562320095the way it is worded, it should bein path of exile at least they know how to fucking specify the stat changes correctly, i.e +20% increased crit chance (modifier) =/= +20% crit chance (absolute)
>>562320095Anon what's 20% of 5?
>>562315107Cute sorceressfu.Who's the artist?Or AI?
>>562315107nwm, kylepunkartI thought as much. I like his dark elves.
How often do you guys manually fight your battles? Do you fight only the battles you know will be hard or ones that give you a shitty autoresolve you know is wrong? Do you fight every single settlement battle? Sieges?
>>562323405Only if AR makes me lose units
Which faction has the best horse archers? (TWW)
>>562323597Welves, since they get poisoned arrows; keeps enemies from catching you.HE's are also pretty good if you get the Ellyrion patronage for the lord leading the army.
I can't wait to play Aelves in TW:AoS
>>562323597Depends on how broad your definition of horse archer isIf you want to be a purist glade riders are the best bow cavalry with the highest dps and range and can opt for poison too, if you're okay with javelins then sisters of the thorn are the best 360 shooting cavalryCentis and marauder horses with throwing axes are 360 and armor piercingOutriders are high dps and armor piercing but they're gun cavalry

>>562327007I could make one for him
>>562323405All the time early. Once the game lets me ar everything it's usually the time to restart a campaign. Same reason I've never gone past long vic I really should someday just unsure which faction has the honor to be the first
We did it Reddypt.
>>562327007No, friend, I don't.
>>562323405Depends. If i know 100% its gonna be a shitstomp, then I auto. If I am playing playing someone like Grom, Ghorst or whatever, then I 100% do normal fights because the AR calculations don't seem to take outside buffs into considerarion
>>562330081Neat, have a duck.
>>562330329I did in fact do it as Tausret.Didn't help that Merneptah went and died while there was a civil war already going on, but it was still really funny that he named me heir when I divored Seti pretty much right at the start of the campaign.
>>562330698Serves him right for wearing that dumb outfit.
Sovl got the Bretonnia update!
Playing Skarsnik, and uh, where the fuck did Thorim Grudgebearer go?
>>562335541Turn off the minor faction buffs.
>>562335541Guess his AI SHORTed out.
>>562336075Minor Faction potential? I have that unchecked and i am still getting the starting greenskin enemies in place of the dwarves
>>562336507I just noticed its only turn 2. What diff are you playing on? Maybe Throgrim is just sitting at KaK and recruiting.
>>562336827I am on hard/hard, and yeah, in the new run, once i got to mount squighorn, Thorgrim got off his ass and took over Grungni. Could swear to god he usually starts off with Grungi in his control.
drawchads,draw something to continue the thread draw streak
>>562338663Busy tonight; but I'll try tomorrow.
>>562318526I sure hope so! And that the ending won't stop there.
>>562338663Not mine, but found someone make a Pharaoh x 40K crossover lmao
>>562339339Egyptian sisters does sound pretty cool.
/twg/ killed AoS
>>562343969Can't stop winning.
No matter how much I play Pharaoh, I just cannot fucking figure out chariot combat for the life of me. They get stuck everywhere so it's impossible to charge more than once, and they only kill like a dozen men on the charge. If they're ranged, they don't kill anything, period, because they fire like three arrows at a time.Is there some trick to them I'm just missing?
>>562349460They're mostly there for bullying ranged units and routing enemy units via backcharge.If you want actual killing power, go to Cimmeria and hire horsefuckers.
do forest patches give you any protection from arrows or cavalry in Atilla?
Grab pretty pink empireling man and take him to my hut!
>>562323405Pretty much only if it's against an army I've already beaten, or an ungarrisoned city. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Why doesn't killing a lord in battle wipe out their army?
Normal campaign/Hard or Very Hard without the stat bonuses seems like the ideal difficulty
In my fairly limited mp experience i have drawn these conclusions so far:>Most artillery pieces are actually a scam>Chawi train is the most bullshit unit in the game by a pretty large margin>Melee flyers rape cavalry>Spamming cheapass infantry is the optimal strat on almost every faction>Order dwarf players have the lowest iq and it's not close
>>562343969Shit setting but it wouldn't even be hard to adapt that to a being a total war strategic map. This excuse is lazy bullshit by someone that didn't even try to theorycraft a possible solution.>we have all these different maps that aren't directly connected how do we keep track of them allYou just put them on the same map as isolated little spaces conected by "portals"(little teleport points like sea lanes on land, you know, like the ones we already have in TWWH3).

>>562328796thats just normal khorne small talk
Avast ye scurvy dogs! It is I, Lokhir Fellheart, the raper of Cathay! Let me tell ye of a tale long ago, only on turn 29!For about 20 turns all I did was ravage the bountiful Cathayan rice fields. The stinking, jew rats to the north and west quickly grew appreciative of their cuck chair. I made good friends with a fuck ugly necromancer who pesters the Cathayan military to this day! Things were good as I sailed to the Eastern Colonies, until the VILE BEAST APPEARED!NAKAI! THAT PRIMORDIAL CURR! He massacred my favorite side piece's personal retinue and razed my favorite whorehouses! Now he heads west, hungering for the Cathayan booty locked up in my new territories.I must stop him! No lizardman, dullardous niggers that they are, will ever sully the name of LOKHIR MOTHER FUCKIN FELLHEART!
Yeaaah Skarsnik isn't my type of playstyle, i think Beastmen do guerilla style better
>>562363254>Dark Elves and Sauruses fighting for the right to breed Cathayan womenhot

In return, the satisfied snake agreed to invade Nakai's rear. His territory, that is.

RAA ROO DA! THEY HANG FROM HAG TREE!
>>562356615>we have all these different maps that aren't directly connected how do we keep track of them allit's such a stupid excuse because CA already did that in Empire Total War. but probably CA won't make it scale properly and it must be squeezed just like IE.
>>562369782and also, they need to optimize the engine so the end turn will not take forever like in The Old World mod, so they probably can implement something like the One Turn Destroyer mod, if they give a shit about it.
why we so dead
>>562374226undead general
>>562374226No news in a long time. No substantial update in a long time.
>>562374226modding scene is kind of dead probably because they're waiting for big content to pull them back in and an end to the updates that constantly break their mods, new content was announced when it'll take an entire year to release, and a lot of people here already have a great deal of hours in the game already.
I have never once seen a mod break with an update in total war. You guys might be dumb.

>>562386723Why does every single thread I visit have one of you feline fuckers? Nyaggers is from /tekgen/, I got one in my waifu threads and now one here in my total war threads...Also, the /tekgen/ threads are dying too. The activity dropped drastically.I think that deadlock slop vidya is currently attracting a lot of people too.

>>562391461oops
there's grudges to be settled, whats a good anti-ogre army for Dwarfs
>>562391191
>>562392104Frontline of shielded Longbeards, plenty of Thunderers/Grudgerakers.
How are vampirates nowadays
>>562392104Gyros Ogres have meh range. Thunderers would be good too.
doom diver catapults are just cheap and early luminarks, therefore they are overpowered
>>562389167What i'm looking at ? Is that dog trap in a window ?
>>562392215>>562392276currently building, wouldn't some trollhammer torpedos be good too?
>>562392234Still super fun. Just get the Victory Condition Overhaul mod to make the campaign map side of things fun.Also some bigger smoke effect mod.
>>562394070dumb question, do the handgunners have to be elevated or then can shoot above the frontliners
>>562394067Good against single entities, but your Thunderers will do just fine against mosst units.
>>562394119Dwarfs and Chors can shooter over themselves.>>562392932I think it's the crane thingy from these gambling machines to fish out a stuffed toy.
>>562392104Slayer stackOrgan guns + CannonsGyrocopters to deal with Leadbelchers
>>562394119For targets of the same size you need either elevation or a free line of sight.
>>562392453I've never seen doom divers melt a large target like Luminarks does. Lums are finnicky to use but damn are they good at the one thing they're supposed to do.I remember one campaign that bitch Elspeth was attacking me as Franz and I shot that demented whore and her giant bat out of the sky so fast every time she fought
>>562394397melting is just a bonus, but if a key target is softened up before it reaches combat range then whatever was hitting it has done its jobi mean what are you going to do with a 1 model melee unit which has like 20% HP left? nothing
>>562263613What about them ?
>>562392104>No one mentioned THE anti-large dwarf unitJust go slayers + irondrake torpedos for ogres but have a regular dawi army to deal with gnoblar spam becuase gnoblars actually shit on slayers.
>>562387625maybe so
>40v40 battle >give AI control of my army to see how it plays out>loses one of my generals almost instantlyImpessive, although to be honest it microd the infantry way better than I would.
>>562392276Leadbelchers would rape giros, tho i doubt the AI will spam them
>>562294821>>562387625>>562399596We will not vanish in silence!
>>562401341OK armies do spam Leadbelcher stacks but it's mostly Gnoblar + Bull spam then Gorger + mass cavalry spam with some artillery sprinkled in

>>562363762YARRRI drank too much grog, but the story will continue!Me and my mateys raided all the ligger occupied settlements on the coast. I could hear the cries of the Cathayan beauties just beyond the walls. It made my dick shed a tear!In the north I linked up with a new Sorceress side piece and hunted Nakai! In the south my trusted Black Ark Bro (and his sidepiece) cleaned up the liggers.My plunder was piling up as my many bros and hoes recaptured our Cathayan bed warmers, saving them from vile lizard dickings.However Gelt, that golden homosexual declared war on me! Two full stacks of unwashed Imperials were coming to "liberate" my slave girls! My forces were all far from my unprotected interior settlements!Do not fear reader, as Dechala the (Un)Denied One had grown to be strength rating 2! I, LOKHIR MOTHER FUCKIN FELLHEART dicked her down again, securing a defensive alliance and a combined effort against Gelt. In exchange I gave her a small Cathayan port town. While I was sad to part with it, I was in too much of a sex-daze at the time to doubt the decision.
>>562402724AraWHO?There's only one elf that's missing.Kerillian
>>562402724>>562405885Fuck off with both, Naieth is the best option they could go for. Araloth will at best just be another Tyrion/Aislinn style faction, and Kerillian is obviously a never ever. Naieth can bring farseeing as a mechanic to the game (since they didn't do anything of the sort with Kairos) and kill two birds with one stone introducing the mechanic eldar will use for 40k.

Kinggobbo claims that news is coming on the 31st April.Just hold out for 4 more weeks.
ZHATAN ZA BRAJ
some of the Chorf vocabulary is just puns in the GW traditionbaklooz = shame, disgrace = back + lose
the infernal guard will refer to themselves as 'azkala erkalak' meaning that, but also as 'baklooz ansar', with ansar being the Arab word for fighter afaik, yielding 'disgraced fighters'. When the infernal guard fight Dwarf slayers, who are their counterpart, they will say 'Grimnir, baklooz!'
Shhhh... Mino-kun is sleeping!
>>562419332Everyone knows that Minotaurs appear in Total War: Warhammer...but did you know that Minotaurs also appear in Total War: Troy?
>>562419757Those are furries. They also appear in Rome 1 if you play as Spain.
>get directly hit by a cannonball>lose 1% HP, be ragdolled 15 meters away>then get up and continue charging forwardsthat's a fucking grudge
The Lammasu has a few lines and it will say 'skaza uz faos'faos means lord in the black speech (the Beastmen who use the language say kaos faos - chaos lord)skaza seems to be taken from Russian just like Zharr, and means to refer to, name, so the SEM says 'call me lord/master'

>>562435536No, Total War: Warhammer 3 shall receive support until late 2027.

another Chorf fact: the Infernal Ironsworn never refer to themselves by that name, only as 'soldiers for the daemonsmith' or more generically as infernal guard.

I'm playing as Cathay, it is turn 160. The end game crisis is Nagash, specifically The Sentinels and I've sent two armies west to deal with the problem while at war with Archaon, Disciples of Hashut and Challengers of Khorne. Outside of Cathay all I own is chaos wastes.The question I have, the Ivory Road is 100% worthless. I haven't sent out a caravan for 100 turns, I can't. Everything west of the mountains is owned by Legions of Asgorh, west of that in dwarf lands is owned by Skarbrand. The empire is entirely controlled by vampires, Bretonnia is dark elves and World Walkers. Why does this mechanic exist if every time you play Cathay the chaos AI buffs mean order collapses by turn 60? By turn 160 the only order factions left on the planet are The Golden Order and Ironbrow's Expedition. When I successfully break through Archaon and reconquer the west I could only trade with myself.Who made this shit?
I miss the WH1 and Eye of the Vortex Maps, hell, even ME.
>>562450418CA should add those campaigns to WH3. Vortex was the best way to play many game 2 lords.
Total War Warhammer. Of Have all the Mortal or family mortal followers of Chaos I know that all evil but which legendary Lord Even faction leader would you say is the least evil I believe the best answer is Wulfrik the Wanderer, the Eternal Challenger.
>>562450607kinda shocked that the modders who did the old world never got around to it, I know its more complex than copy/paste, but it has to be quick shit compared to making a new map.all of the rituals/cutscenes/mechanics are in the files still. I know bc I see them all the time.
>>562450647holy fucking ESL, batman.This is an English general.
>>562450647Wulfrik doesn't even worship the Chaos gods, he just wants/has to beat people's faces in, so yes
>>562450647>>562450942In Total War: Warhammer, which of the mortal followers of Chaos would be considered the least evil? I know they are all evil, but which legendary lord or faction leader could be as the least malevolent? I think the best answer is Wulfrik the Wanderer, the Eternal Challenger.
>>562451354>could be asyou got so close
>>562445587I think it was added with Champions of Chaos or something like that?
I will refund Bhashiva if she can't 1v1 Karl Franz.
>>562451815Karl is pathetic as a 1v1 duelist, it's Deathclaw doing all the work in there
>>562451629I bet he's using some AI TTS and just mumbles like the basement-dwelling virgin he is.
>>562445736They have similar performance albeit taking much longer to resolve combat. MD is extremely powerful, especially when you have >10 higher MD than enemy MA. Hellscourges arent intended to be 1-unit doomstack, but to be even more unbreakable anvil for your flankers. But lets throw some numbers around just for fun to see how powerful that 10 MD is. Both Chosen have 90% damage reduction from armor on average. So, Slaanesh Chosen has 11% chance to hit for 17 damage every 3.8 seconds (while poisoned) = 0,42 DPS per model. Hellscourges have 17% chance to hit for 11 damage every 4 seconds = 0,47 DPS per model. Hellscourges deal 11% more damage despite lower AP and their poison causes Chosen to lose vigor faster, further widening the gap.
>>562452092They should really give the Warhammer to someone else.
>>562452134Also when fighting less-armored troops they are significantly better. In other words, they're pretty much equal or slighty better against high-armor troops while being much better against less-armored units. They also have Charge Defense Against All so monstrous/SEM/can opener infantry units wont dumpster half their hp on charge.
>>56245213411% chance of 17 damage every 3.8 seconds is 0.49 dps.Still i get what you mean i just believe that at their price tag having faster killing times is more important than being tankier specially considering how insanely high their baseline durability already is.
This new High Elf Lord seems pretty weak...If only Sea Lord Aislinn had an item that provided him with regeneration and the ability to summon a Merwyrm.CA could also consider providing him some kind of Dragon mount.Oh, and it would be nice if he had some army-wide buffs and battlefield bombardments.Ahhh, yes, and it might be an idea to provide him with a campaign map stance that lets him just teleport from the sea onto land.Let us hope that Nagash and Bhashiva aren't pushovers like the Tides of Torment lords.
>>562455717nigga Lokhir is the least dragon-worthy lord due to being a dedicated duelist but that's GW canon
Who's the dork submitting Warhammer names into Mewgenics?
I wonder how the Chaos Dwarfs were able to shoot down that Lothern Skycutter?
>Hey, it's me, the minor faction that's past your neighbors!>See, I know my armies absolutely pale in comparison to yours... really, if you were ever to turn around, you'd swat me out of existence like a pesky fly! >Not to mention, I already have a tense situation with my own neighbors, showing weakness on my part would get them to descend on me like a swarm of piranhas.>Buuuuuuut, you see, I, ah... I can't help but notice there's a minor settlement under your control you don't have an army on and haven't finished building up the garrison for. Don't ask how I know despite you being deep into fog of war from my perspective, I just do.>And, well, it'd wooooooould be really fun for me to rush through your neighbor's lands, earning their ire, and attacking your minor settlement with my own single stack of tier 1 and 2 units.>True, true, you still put up a decent fight with that half garrison, taking out over half of said stack, crippling my military for many turns to come and surely sentencing me to be devoured by my own neighbors, not least of them the one I pissed off by intruding through their lands and that just witnessed my entire army get decimated.>But, you know, the real funny thing is, I'm not gonna occupy or sack your minor settlement. Nah, I wouldn't know what to do with such a thing as a reward or compensation for my suicidal actions.>Nah, what I'm gonna do is immediately raze it. Then I'll leave. But you know who's not gonna leave?>Your OTHER neighbor! Yes, correct, the one you already paid a small fortune to sign an early NAP with! He saw the ruins I left behind and within the very same turn, already occupied them! Isn't that cute? Now a part of your province will be occupied for probably more than 20 turns by a foreign power, stopping you from accessing province bonuses!>Oh well, that's all from me. That was fun, but now I gotta go face my sure destruction. Regards from CA AI!>*slits own throat so the blood splatters on your computer's circuits*
>>562452178give the warhammer to deathclaw
>>562452092Can Karl on foot defeat an orc warchief? I believe Karl's greatest achievement as a warrior was beating one 1v1 on foot.
Why is the general so fucking dead lately
>>562465669No ratposters left
>>562465669/vg/ as a whole is "dying", every general is slowing down, even gachashit struggles to go through multiple threads a day recently. The reason I say "dying" is because it could be as simple as the captcha finally btfo'ing bots
>>562465669No one's excited for Total War: Warhammer DLC anymore
>>56246566940k trailer was just that bad.
>>562355290>>Most artillery pieces are actually a scam"Scam" Isn't the word I'd use. More like "high maintenance" Artillery needs the following>security>LoS>timeYou can't use them in a vaccum like statfags want to use everything in.>>Chawi train is the most bullshit unit in the game by a pretty large marginYes. >>Melee flyers rape cavalryunderstand that a cav unit is just a really fast infantry unit that can't go on walls. If you can't outrun something you better be able to outfight it.>>Spamming cheapass infantry is the optimal strat on almost every faction.More units on the field > less but stronger units on the field.>>Order dwarf players have the lowest iq and it's not closeChorffags....
>>562349460Honestly a change I want to try and experiment with is to upp the mass to be like kislev light bear sleds. I loved how they were actual chariots for me where I could weave them in and out of a formation without having to Starcraft 2 click-spam to get them to do so.>but a real life chariot would be lighterTo me mass should not just be "the physical weight of the unit" but rather the cohesive unified weight of that unit. A crowd is not a moshpit, a mosh pit is not a bunch of cops forming a shield wall. I forget if Pharaoh has a mass increasing ability but that isn't the unit suddenly getting gainz it's them deciding to be more tightly packed and serious about their movement as a unit. So if you calibrate the mass of other units right then you can have chariots swatting through the 60% or so of infantry who are little more than a crowd of people and not push through the 40% who actually tighten up together.This would benefit the denser phalanx-y units too, as they'd be able to push through a line of lighter guys
>>562471520>Insulting chorfsYou may or may not be correctStill don't like it.>>562466621The Iran war may have had a lot of the parasocial (I am throwing stones with sin here) move to /pol/ or /k/. But it may also be social media sites like 4chan or twitter finally going aggressively after bots after realizing (1) Actual humans are browsing less (2) You scrape content by actual humans, not bots, to sell to AI developersAlso we're in a doldrum of total war content.

Warhammer fantasy 1 and 2 pros and cons? Haven't played a total war game since Rome, is 2 just strictly an upgrade?
>>562488505>is 2 just strictly an upgrade?yes, but you need wh1 to get empire, vamps, dwarfs, and greenskin races
>>562488505just get wh3 it's a zillion times better than 1 and 2
>>562488505I don't know if they ended up fixing it before 3 released but 2 was famous for having difficulty bound to melee stat nerfs for the player, so spamming ranged units on Legendary was the normIn 3 the stat nerfs are a seperate slider and instead the game just throws a fuckton of enemy armies at you, which isn't ideal but it sure beats half the roster being useless to recruit
>>562488505I only played 2, but I bought 1 as well for the bigger map, so whatever.
>>562488505> is 2 just strictly an upgrade?Not if you intend to play Norsca or Warriors of Chaos.They are funnier in TWW1 (or 3).

>>562460319>opens console>clicks settlement>types gr into the consolegg no re
>>562460319Problem with total war games (and a lot of strategy games in general) is they can't portray messy diplomacy and asymmetry of real life. You shouldn't always be able to hold large swaths of land directly, due to politics, climate, technology, whatever else. But you could kind of control indirectly. So client states and allies and alliances would matter more. But it's probably too hard to simulate this well.
>>562299137warhammer is getting casual, no longer its niche thing
Rome is rightful Ōtomo clay
>>562497158I just went back to historicals, not that I play vidya often anyway. Tried moded Med 2 a bit, but will probably focus on moded Rome 2 when I have some time.
>>562453406I was pitting them against eachother so I calculated the normal Chosen's damage as poisoned by Hellscourges. I dont mean to argue though: I also (generally) prefer normal Chosen. With how fast Slaanesh crushes enemies, it really doesnt matter whether your Chosen have 90% or 95% hp left, but getting enemy down to lower hp before flankers rush in means more likely insta/chain routs. I mostly use Hellscourges when I want to focus 100% on microing flankers or against charge-heavy factions, since charge defence against all means I can just leave Hellscourges idling as ridiculously overexpensive roadblocks.
>>562471520>Scam" Isn't the word I'd use. More like "high maintenance" Artillery needs the following>security>LoS>time>You can't use them in a vaccum like statfags want to use everything in.But the time you have is completely dependant on your opponent giving it to you since they can just either rush you or hang back and build up before advancing, if armies clash before artillery has gotten it's value then you're fighting with a signifiacnt gold disadvantageNot to mention that multi model artillery can have it's fire power halved before even entering combat by stuff long range spells or abilities

>>562510269If it was even upkeep it would just be a retarded faceroll because the AI is so simple
>>562511829>warhammer 2 was widely considered difficult by the community>it was just because of the fuck-tarded upkeep penalties
>>562511930That and enemy units getting free stats, which meant your own melee units could never hope to match them which led to 2's extreme ranged-only meta.
>>562512249oh yeah i forgot about that! man, that was so shitty
>>562511087Yeah no, punching upwards is an absolute necessity in this series. It's just terribly frustrating when you're in one of those early turns where you can't even recruit a frontline unit that will actually hold long enough to carry out any sort of tactic at all. Once you have that + something that can put in some damage, it's pretty much a solved issue.
>>562514085yeah the early game is where all the "challenge" is in these games
Waiting for Bhashiva.
Why is Yrliet so ugly and antisocial
>>562514779Its to (you), monkeigh. She's pretty fine with Marazhai, especially after his first warp-jump
undead general
Waiting for Three Kingdoms 2
>>562503170It's honestly pretty based making her lore so in line with gameplay since she'll be another faction I destroy if I'm near no matter who I'm playing as like rats and beastmen.
>>562510485I thought they removed that in 3?
>>562459567Accurately.
>>562434697Still can't believe they posted this shit. How can anyone take them seriously after this or think any new TW game is going to be any better?
>>562522649because modern marketing is making you feel like a company is "human" meaning you HAVE to forgive them for serving you shit
>>562503170CA/GW been reading Invincible lately.
Ok this shit has already happened twice in a row in Pharaoh and I'm sick and tired of it!>Go fight a faction.>That faction has a province.>Take out the minor settlements.>About to start sieging the last, major settlement.>"Urunka-bunkka faction has just become a vassal of [Faction on my opposite side with a lot more army than me]! If you want to keep fighting, you're gonna have to fight their new masters too!"FUCK OFFAnd on that note, why the fuck can MY vassals declare war on someone of their own volition and drag me into inconvenient wars or else tank my reliability?
>>562523384because anti-player bias is the pinnacle of Total War games.
>>562523384TW has always been fucking terrible about vassals. There is pretty much zero consideration of vassalage in the AI. In Warhammer 2, your military allies can and will declare war on your vassals, which used to give a guaranteed reliability hit regardless of which side you chose.>Omg that guy decided to defend his vassals from a backstabbing ally, what a treacherous cunt!
>>562501231Isn't this DLC meant to be coming out this month?
>there's no "loot and raze" option
>>562536367>anon walks into post settlement battle screen and smugly says "Ahem false dichotomy fallacy"
Which Pharaoh faction did you play first?For me, it was the true King of the Hitties - Kurunta.
>>562537501Not counting doing tutorial stuff as Ramesses, Tausret. Now I'm doing Ninurta as my second ever since I direly missed cavalry.
>>562537501QRD on the Hittites?
>>562536367Your men need their energy to raze or to sack.
>>562538448Some small hillbilly tribe mentioned once in the bible that got elevated to a "massive, sprawling ancient empire" by fedoratippers wanting to prove the bible wrong.
>>562540210No proof of exodus :^)
>ywn impregnate a qt centigor doe for the good of the herd
>>562540210Flood-dodging, sea-splitting, zombie-raising jew worship doesn't need outside help for that
>>562541472The ludonarrative kino of going for a run through the woods after playing Beastmen is unmatched
>>562541693>The ludonarrative kinoI don't think this phrase makes sense.
>>562541829No I'm not using it correctlyBecause I do not care for the rules of civilization
https://youtu.be/x2xNFX8dRwM?si=QDZiBfytgcLscvqYI love playing Axum
>>562536367>Loot & Occupy>Set to abandon on same turnSame result desu
Nurgle – the worst lord got the best DLC Khorne – got mid at best DLC Slaanesh – got mid at best DLC Tzeentch – got mid at best DLC Nurgle – had awesome paid DLC lord and an awesome free DLC lord Khorne – got mid paid DLC lord and an awesome free DLC lord Slaanesh – got awesome paid DLC lord and an awesome free DLC lord Tzeentch – got a shitty paid DLC lord, no free DLC lord and overall has the fewest lordsWHAT THE FUCK
XDDDD epic move CA!!!!
>>562546275that's just loose formation
>>562537501I played Suppiluliuma, the actual true king of the Hittitesit's the faction of WINNERS
>>562547107Honestly once I saw his alternate skin with the mask, I knew THAT was a fucking king.
I would play Pharaoh but whenever I do my breaker trips and PC shuts off
>>562547396I just got into it and I'm honestly impressed at how good it is. I have no idea why people lambasted it so much when it came out, it's actually competing with Attila and Shogun 2 for becoming my favorite historical.I should try and get into 3K but I couldn't stand the UI and the character > units system...
>>562549117I think it was mostly people annoyed it wasnt Medieval 3, Empire 2 or something like that. Plus, the initial launch was kinda taking the piss. Very limited map.Honestly, if they had just confirmed Medieval 3 before announcing Pharaoh, that alone would probably have silenced a lot of negativity.
Happy Easter /twg/
>>562551857Same, vnderstander anon!
>>562551714>if they had just confirmed Medieval 3 before announcing PharaohThen Pharaoh wouldn't get even half of the sales it got, because some would prefer to wait for Medieval 3.
AS THE DARKNESS FALLS AND ARABY CALLS>>562551857You too anon
>>562551857to you too
I am getting tired of waiting for news, I am closing this thread until next year, goodbye
What's the ideal doomstack for each beastmen LL?
>>562556160>taurox minotaurs>khazrakbestigors>malagor ungors or something, better to use him as 1 goat army>morghurchaos spawns or jabberslythe
>doomstack>in fucking 2026>for fucking beastmen
Any tips for early game Khalida? This starting position is pure suffering, I swear.
>>562561517I havent played her after TK update but you need to rush to finish vamps before Thorek declares war on you. Rush counter clockwise, dont lose any units and when you get to 20 units dont forget to do the casket of souls rite. You can avoid war with thorek if you give him mahrak(?) but thats kinda the bitch move. But also you cannot defeat him withouth your second army.
>giants are invulnerable during their fall and get up animationFUCK YOU CAFUCKYOU
>>562567551Giants are already bad enough, dude. If they got damaged during their extremely long fall animations, they'd be utterly worthless.
>kirov reporting
>hang up giants onto the sides of pump wagons, so they are contantly "falling">never take damage again
>>562499515>But the time you have is completely dependant on your opponent giving it to you since they can just either rush you or hang back and build up before advancing,And Y'know... YOU GUARDING YOUR SHITBuy ze spear unitBuy ze anti cavPlace them between ze enemy and ze artillery unit. You can buy yourself more time. If your opponent is focusing on your artillery you're not keeping them busy enough. Is it hard? yes. But it's doable.>if armies clash before artillery has gotten it's value then you're fighting with a significant gold disadvantageWhy? Is it damaged? Is it out of ammo? Do you not have line of sight anymore? These obstacles can be worked around. >long ranged spells and abilitiestreesWhat artillery in particular are you having trouble with anon?
So some must have mods Ive been using lately:>ammo/destruction mod. Adds depth for capturing settlements and supplieshttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3669295172&searchtext=ammo+destruction+mod>Strategic movement. Gives movement modifiers for climate and unit composition of armieshttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3697013323>AI general. Allows you to take a unit, potentially your entire army if you want to, And give it AI control during a battle and back again. Meaning you can autorsolve without actually autoresolving and still actually witness a battle you were going to autorsolve anyway. Very fun for blowout scenarios>factional chaos divided reskins. Reskins some of the copypasted units among monogod factions so it's not just a recolor. Also it gives Slaaneshi furies a penis.....Don't know how I feel about that.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807293664&searchtext=chaos+furieshttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3410228257https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2801957739
playing total war here, so far so goodI have no idea if I should conquer east and become king of mesopotamia or conquer west and become king of the hittitesI guess I'll sleep on it
What the fuck is this?
>>562582941Are you just gonna stare or are you gonna put it in?
>>562582941>>562583174https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Kkp0ufTiI

>>562551857>tfw no chocolata eggs
Do skaven undercities suck, or is this just a skill issue? They seem like a lot of investment for quite a little reward
>>562592491Generally its only worth doing with heroes, not armies, and the only real benefits areLine of sight buildingFoodThe vermintide/bomb building.The last one is probably only useful on the rare occasions you are fighting an enemy that you cant overpower with your regular armies, and said enemy does not have any armies nearby. This probably only happens with very large factions on higher difficulties.One tip is to build the building that has a chance spreads the undercities, spare you the trouble.But I do agree they need an overhaul, like so much else in the game.
>>562594024Oh yeah, and maybe build them far away, where you arent going to expand for a while.
>>562294403You seem to mistake incompetent as evil. He's not evil, just bad at his job
>>562594024>>562594415I've been building them far away, but they just don't seem worth it. I build raiding camp, deep tunnels and the mine thing that spreads undercities. It's 8k of investment, only to get 5% chance to spread (if I delete that once nearby settlements have undercities, it becomes +200 money and +2 food). All of that money seems like it would be much better invested into armies or real settlements
>>562585624>The Vampire Coastoh wait....>the Warriors of Chaosoh wait...Yea, you got 'em all, but I swear there was one more horde or horde-like faction...
>>562585018Why are these interplanetary astronauts weird manchildren out of a college dorm?
The Chaos Dwarfs are a more polished version of Rome: Total War 1's Roman campaigns.
>key dwarf settlement>still uses the orc settlement model while it's dwarf occupiedbravo, CA
>>562600434The director couldn't think of a better way to get that to happen without making them act incomprehensibly retarded.

Mankind still won't worship the Gods and continue on with their false worship.
>>562602387but they worship me
>>562585624Malakai and Aislinn are semi-horde.
>>562602387
>>562602461>>562602653False gods, there is only the Pantheon.
>>562602695of Nehekhara, yes
it's kinda cool that warhammer doesn't have that lame boring monotheism shit
>>562602942I don't care if it's monotheism or polytheism it's only lame when one is real and all the others are fakeIn Warhammer all the various gods are real and their powers can be wielded by their followers against the powers of another
>>562551857Happy Easter to you too anon!
time for a comfy late easter WH3 campaign, for some reason I think Bretonnia would fit the theme most
>>562594024>and said enemy does not have any armies nearbyOr heroes. And you need to spam your own heroes in that province to reduce detection, because vermintide and bomb buildings are huge "there's an undercity here, delete it" signs.
>>562603740yeah since ind isn't out yet, fucking poojett
