Will there be Lamenters in TWH40k?

>>565926458Officially? Maybe way down the line, but they're adding an army painter/designer so you can make them yourself if you want to
40keks are GAYahahahhahah *dabs
>>565926880
Don't let shiny DLC make you forget the pecking order.
>>565926458As cocksleeves.
So Belakor is the most overpowered guy in 40k right?Since there aren't any rocks in a space ship
>>565927919But there are rocks that are spaceships
>>565927715Sigmar is a servant of Ulric.
>>565926458They got their own cosmetic pack in space marine 2 so it's not improbable
>>565928517And there are spaceships so big they become rocks.

When the ET DLC drops and Mally becomes the TRVE PHOENIX KING I will be finally able to rest. My duty will done. It was a long ride since TW2 launched. I had to battle many asur fanatics but it will finally come to a end. I will be finally happy.
GUARDSMANII
The races im most hype for is probably necrons and nids since the first will bring tomb worlds and the second will provide biomass corruption environments
>>565937304>and the second will provide biomass corruption environmentsNurgle already does that.
>>565937304>tomb world>it's just a reskin of dark fortresses
Dark Eldar dlc is coming. I can feel it
>>565937710Necrons in lore word identical to TK in TW. You will be waking up your troops and have hard unit caps on everything.
>>565937780The only thing that's cool about them is the designs for Kabalite Warriors and Incubii. Everything else is cringe and not in the KINO way.
>>565937876>blackstone/noctilith will just be a reskin of canoptic jarsgrim. dark, even.
>>565938029mandrakes are pretty cool
>>565938029nah
>>565938656Just like I said the only nice things in that pic are the Kabalite warrior and Incubus. Thanks for proving my point.
>>565938858pleb
>>565938029What about Cumtown's Dr. Frankenmengele
>>565939128I was only considering units not characters. He's pretty cool.

Have you anons played/bought/considered buying any new strategy vidya while waiting for DLC?I bought Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era and Menace today.
>>565939520I've seen the artstyle looks too much like warcraft so I'm skipping it.
>>565939520World in Conflict is pretty fun, CA can't quite nail down the presentation of how bombastic it was, and I doubt 40k will be different.
*smacks metal pipe on floor*THIS LAND IS ROMAN
>>565939847WIC was cool but lets be honest, its more a spectacle than a game
Has anyone got that comic image of the dark elves saying based?
no
>dark elves>based
Yeah it's pretty BASED how they make the assur seethe.
>>565941285fair, but CA can add more terrain destruction in their game, it's not like battlemaps are densely populated like a scripted RTS anyway.
>>565941393
>>565941393Here you go, don't mind the seething.
Reminder:They are adding the realms of chaos to Immortal Empire.
>>565942182That's cool.
Is 3 Kingdoms fun?I burning out on fantasy Total War and want to try one of the historical ones
GORK, is that true?
>>565942337Yeah it's great. When you are done with the big name LLs give ol'Kong a go too. He's fun.
>>565942337I want to play Shogun 2 but I run dual monitors and old Total War games don't have cursor lock like the new ones
>>565942182Only the battle maps.
>>5659426482011 was only a few years ago bro
Lads am i a coward for playing Warhammer 3 with that mod that reduces army size to 12 units?20vs20 or, god forbid 40v40 are too much for me, even in slow motion
>>565943107Doesn't have that option unlike in Rome 2, all WHs, 3Kangdomz, ToB and Pharaoh
>>565944160A SHAMEFUL DISPLAY
>>565944125Bro, you are supposed to enjoy the game not be tortured by it. If the mod makes it a better expirience for you it's a good thing. That's what mods are for.
>>565944230There are no mods for it too in the Workshop or the old TWcenter forums, it's the last "old" Total WarComing from newer TW games the AI is kinda dogshit too who loves camping on hills instead of rushing you instantly if you're the defender

I think I’m going to play WRE in Barbarian Invasion and I’m going to stick with Christianity instead of paganism even though I like paganism better just because I think it would be less of a hassle desu I watched a youtuber try to systematically kill all of his Christian characters and it just seemed frustrating to deal with.thank you for your time you can go back to talking about your elves and magic and all that jazz
>>565955098You can tell who sells books.
>>565955376Did xir kill ximself?
I need AdMech in TW:WH40k
>>565955626CANT DO THAT SIR
>>565957032That's too cruel.
idk maybe I should go with paganism instead. I’ve been thinking about this campaign for like a week and I can’t decide what to do. There are people on both sides of the argument and they both make good points. I keep procrastinating the campaign, this is a hard decision anons and I’m very indecisive :/ anons and the Illuminati won’t respect my gamer skills until I beat a WRE campaign…
>>565957032A united Imperium is all that matters.*Breathes in*SIGMAAAAAAAAARI really hope this game isnt just 17 flavours of Imperium infighting.
Challenge: Play a Bhashiva campaign with only Tigermen lords, heroes and units.
I'm never touching anything under the cathay roster.
>>565959727If we get the same variety as dawn of war the imperium will be a small minority of factions.
Imperium will get a "warriors of chaos" like faction that can use all imperium units and otherwise admech/guard/spacemarine/custodes/sissies of battle/death cults will be separate
>>565964492>death cults being a standalone playable faction
>>565964492The imperium dosen't work like that. Guard has no control over the Navy. Mechanicus has no control over the guard. Space Marines have no command over any imperial assets. Even the Emperor didn't have control over the Mechanicum.
>>565964912Inquisition can do whatever the fuck and they shall
>>565965224Many inquisitors went missing trying to order around people they shouldn't.
>>565965675Who cares about losers, real inquisitor can boss around whoeverMonths of shame happened because even space marines BOW to the inqusition
>>565965675t. Tzeentch cultist
>>565966137>Months of shameOnly happens to pussy chapters like the Wolves. Dark Angels just kill inquisitors that try to order them around.
I want Tyranids and Necrons. Im tired of every 40k game being about orks and eldar.
>>565970526Nids have no characters.
>>565970617Half of Warhammer 3 factions are generic chaotic evil demons.They can make it work.
>>565970773Chaos Demons are actually characters with personalities and appearances in the lore.The Tyranids are the Hive Mind and nobody else. It's as if the Skaven only had the Great Horned Rat.
>>565970617you can make your own :)
>>565966137>Months of shame happened because even space marines BOW to the inqusitionThe months of shame was the space wolves doing the opposite of that.>>565967479>Dark Angels just kill inquisitors that try to order them aroundThat's what the space wolves did.
yeah I think I’m gonna go with paganism. It’s harder in the early game but better in the late game. Also Christianity is cringe and the old gods are better :) but then again…I’m never gonna start this campaign. If I had just started the campaign instead of thinking about it, I probably would have already finished it by now, but I can’t stop thinking about it :(
>>565970773nidders have no personality.Favorite Tyranid voice over?
>>565972751Yes but they were in the wrong and the grey knights were in the right for wanting to put them downGrey knights knew their place
>>565971490>/yourdudes/sir this is a primarchslop capeshit setting
>>565982384that was 30k40k is capeshit free except for joboute
>>565982734The lion is running around and killing shit with his chapter as of right now.
>>565983492he's gonna die soon so it's ok
>>565983858He's going to live and jaghatai and russ are going to come back too.
>>565984391Guilliman isn't going to let him live. Their duel will only end one way. GW is building up the Ultramarines as the villains of the storyline's next major arc.
I just rescued a toad from the street and he pissed himself in my gloves and smeared his poison all over me. Stinks like hell.LL for this feel?
>>565986943Kugath this is why you should never do good things, the universe is evil and will punish you for it
>>565987323No I will keep rescuing them. I like having a good standing with the cosmos
>>565991717but anon, if you want the cosmos to reward you, you have to do bad things. Haven’t you noticed that the richest and most powerful people are all evil selfish bastards? some say that in order for one to achieve greatness, they have to sacrifice what they love. You should throw them on the freeway and force them to play frogger, that would make the dark gods laugh and delight in you. Consider murdering your family for power, it’s the best course of action imo.
>>565986943Malus Darkblade
>>565992654But I don't like doing bad things. Unless it's in video games and I get to play Skarbrand.I like frogs a lot, they are cute. I also meet badgers and foxies.
>>565992910whatever nerd, you fucking Disney princess, you disgust me. all the cool kids are murdering their family, you’re missing out. Maybe one day the suffering will break you and you’ll embrace your villain arc, we can only hope.
>>565993474
why does no one like to play multiplayer battles? I've seen constant shit flung at the game mode without any explanation.
>>565992654That's not how it works. People who are willing to cross lines have an advantage over those who won't. They aren't being rewarded for it per se, they are just playing an entirely different game.
>>565993638Multiplayer players have their own meta that they enforce by putting strict rules on gameplay, things like kiting or using the terrain to your advantage are considered cheating. If they don't like a unit, they'll bitch and moan about it until it's nerfed into the ground, whether or not it deserves it (salamanders my beloved)They're also all bad, the best multiplayer players lose to random greenskin shitstacks in singleplayer, and when singleplayer aces play in MP they absolutely shred (see Legend dominating an MP tournament)
>>565993772fucking atheists, trying to ruin my fun with your evidence-based worldview and shit, fuck off. I’m trying to explain to this innocent soul how to achieve favor with the gods and master the dark arts, I get you don’t even know how to use magic, fucking normalfag
>>56599363850% of battles I played were lag fests.They all play the most cancerous shit. You'll get avalanche mortared and kited by beastmen cav for half a fucking hour. They also ragequit a lot.
>>565993638People don't want to admit it, but Total War's battles are honestly kind of shit without the context that a campaign provides.
>>565994510More like rts battles aren't very fun in pvp. There is no joy in winning those. In pve we get to abuse all sorts of systems for wins.
They should add John Pork as a LH for the beastmen
>>565993593>>565992910>phoneposting crybaby gets pissed on by a frogWhat a loser.
>>565996990what he do
a cataphract without a horse is like a fish out of water
skulls fucking wheni can't wait Jesus Christ
>>565993638>I've seen constant shit flung at the game mode without any explanation.A lot of TWW life cycle has seen unit and ability balancing centered on multiplayer, even though the games are inherently different. Lore of Death got nerfed into the ground in TWW because of how powerful it was. But Fate of Bjuna was busted in its ability to just delete a unit, meaning that one unit of very expensive Chosen, Borks or whatever that you can afford to bring was going to get demolished. But the ability to do that in singleplayer is far less powerful because the player and AI can both field doomstacks for 19 Chosen or Borks or whatever. So FoB (and Lore of Death by extension) was much less powerful in Singleplayer and didn't need the nerf.So a lot of things got nerfed into the ground for singleplayer at the expense of multiplayer balancing across TWW1 and 2 despite it not being needed. And most people play singleplayer.
>>565993638In every videogame, the "Competitive" players are faggots that cry shit and piss themselves when required to think or adapt. So rather than man up and overcome they cry to the devs to nerf fun stuff.
>>565955098The human far outnumber the elves and Dwarfs on these covers.
>>565957032
>>565937043yeah
>>565964492Yes a "Lord Inquisitor" faction would be perfect to get access to a bunch of all Imperium units (like Daniel get access to all 4 Demons roster).Thye may even let us specialie/customize it (Malleus / Hereticus / Xenos).
>>566004193this is what khorne says .000000001 second after his followers dedicate to him 10,000,000 of them
>>565964492>>566005667How many years have you done this for?I feel like I constantly see you post "imperium will be one faction" I think I got a job then lost that job in the time you've been posting this
Watching Turin play Olden Era and he says "It's so nice to see effort put into multiplayer coming from Total War where you're like a neglected creature in the shadows."
>>566006256hope he fucks off forevergets to fuck single player balance over with his gay friends for a failed mp TW empire and still thinks he needs to be catered to more
>>566006104>"imperium will be one faction"No one saying that.
>>566006256Who asked ?
>>566006256>mptrannyHope he stays away, total war singleplayer still lacks a lot of shit, to make it a good toy sandbox to fuck around.And mp is boring, same cheese tactics all the time. Soulless. Same way Legends cheese shit is boring.
>>566005667>"Lord Inquisitor" factionThis is called Imperial Agents right now and is very underbaked for now. It's essentially Inquisition + Rogue Traders + every other Imperial faction not big enough to have their own army.They might get more stuff eventually, but I wouldn't count on CA adding them quickly. The longer they wait with it, the better.
Babylon... home...
>>566007193t. Chorf

Reminder Thanquol has sex with married elven women
So why did we hate Pharaoh?
>>566012602Personally, there's too much nonsense on campaign maps. I don't want to engage with any of the politics systems. I want to play total war, not total court intrigue
>>566012970brainlet alert
>>566013052Adding random shit I don't care about like a bunch of skill trees and courts doesn't make a good total war game. It just adds more unrealistic padding to each turn. Do you think the historical Tausret was worried about her skill lines or what ancillaries she had equipped?Pharaoh has way too much of the bloat of the Rome 2/Warhammer period. It would have been better if they cut all of it out to flesh out the legacy mechanic.
>>566013948>generals don't train>generals don't need education>generals don't care about the state of their weapons>generals don't care about their honor guardHOLY BRAINLET
>>566013948one of the worst takes I've ever seenespecially as you can ignore it, and the capaign customization in pharaoh is utterly unmatched
>>566012602I hate antiquity
>>566014162Game takes place five centuries before antiquity even began.
The only thing Tausret should worry about is her next waxing session.
>>566014585same shitinteresting history starts AD1000 in Europe
It was pretty cool they put Troy DLC LLs in Dynasties.
>>566007193At least it was before I fucked everything up.t.Nabonidus
>>566015336Nation-states had no chance against the Persians.
>>566012602I kind of hate that Royal Traditions exist to show you how much more interesting and creative campaign mechanics can be and then you get pigeonholed into picking a singular mechanic you don't want to be locked out of for tens of hours of gameplay.
>>566012052You lie.>>566013948I didn't play Pharoah, but I kind of agree for same reasons when it comes to Rome 2 extra mechanics (at least some of them) or shit EB2 adds. Some of the mechanics are not intrusive and retarded and can be used for roleplay, however. Those are fine to have. But other gamey shit is just pointless padding, it doesn't often make games more realistic, too much abstraction.
>>566015798>You lie.Asur women will sleep with anything except a elf male just to avoid birthing new asur. Years of woke propaganda spread by Finubar and Teclis destroyed the nation.
>>566015790Imagine for a moment if ambitions gave you a choice between creating a law, sending a trade convoy to a far off land, hosting the Olympic games (some other celebration), building a unique monument, instead of a resource reward for building a production building.
Never played Bretonnia, even though they're flc. How are they when compared to other great factions like the Empire?
>>566016647They are pretty shit. My condolences if you are about to play them.
>>566016647they're horrendous in almost every waythey have mid cavalry and 2 or 3 good cav units however cavalry is awful in warhammer because they'll get a model stuck on a single goblin model and your whole unit will be unable to disengage then they just die
>>566016647Powercreeped to hell and back. Peasant economy is still strong as a campaign mechanic but that's all they've got going for them. Hard to play (a lot of jank micro with the amount of cav), not great return. But if you enjoy cycle charging a lot they're pretty fun to play once in a while.
>>566017416>Peasant economy is still strong as a campaign mechanicLMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>566012602garbage setting mostly, I really couldnt care any less if I tried about ancient slop, holy fuck even typing this out is making me yawn
>>566017416>Peasant economy is still strong as a campaign mechanicAnon i....
>>566017845>>566018734Really, that bad? I haven't played them in campaign very recently but I was told that it was their one trick that was still good.. They can still field a lot of armies can't they?
>>566014157>the capaign customization in pharaoh is utterly unmatchedWhy can't I turn off courts then
Rome 2 was revealed to be getting some new content.Do you think that they will touch up Thrones of Britannia?
>>566021063They will fuck up the mods with stupid shit. They should stop messing with old games. Focus on new ones and make them good.Fucking games as a service and always online bullshit...
>>566021063Rome 2 is getting Pharaoh combat improvements(not all mind you the armor degradation for units isn't part of it just armor calculation, flanking handling etc.) and Troy and Pharaoh textures ported to it.
>>566021063No. Thrones didn't get a single DLC because the historic audience is entitled and hates change. It's a shame because base thrones is easily the best historic launch (in terms of game quality) in the modern era
>>566021063rome 2 is getting content because it still has a large playerbaseToB does not
>>566021557Rome 2 isn't getting any new content. Just combat and visual changes.
Which Dawi is the best to turtle? I want to do a deep focused campaign
>>566021213>Troy and Pharaoh textures ported to it.I hope they don't fuck shit up with stupid looking armors and outfits. Rome 2 at least looks historical.
>>566021683>TWW3 even at it's no content phase has more players than all histoid trash combinedlooool
>>566021816Did I say models you retard? I said textures. Learn to read. Also Rome 2 armors have nothing to do with history and copy Hollywood design but I don't want to go on a TWC rant over it.
>>566021592Also a campaign building rework
>>566022178And a technology overhaul
>>566021981Textures are part of it, you double nigger.
>>566021625Thorgrim. His location gives you a good reason to turtle, as overextending in any direction will get you killed.
Do you remember when an update removed Kroxigors from Nakai's faction?Imagine if the Rome 2 update removes Hastati from Rome.
>>566022297ah I would have thought belegar for 8peaks but ok I'll try thorgrum. Are hammerers still a trap?
>>566022228You dumb animal go read the blog or watch the video. They are importing Pharaoh campaign textures.
Bretonnia should have "Peasant Economy" (limiting the number of peasant units) + "Feudal Fief" limiting your number of knight units.
>>566022370Belegar can't really turtle because he has to go take 8 Peaks, no? He goes on a little adventure.Hammerers are much better after the dwarf rework
>>566022854vows already kind of do that
>>566022381I'm watching it and I already don't like bullshit with "readability" and unit spacing just for that.
>>566023027You don't like that more disciplined units fight in tighter formations? Why not?
>>566023532Pretty much most of them should fight in a formation, besides maybe the lowest tier of peasants. But also, spacing should be based on historical sources, when possible. I tried looking up how spaced were roman legionaries for example, and they were not, apparently, grouped so tight, unless they were doing the testudo for the sieges.
>>566024258>>566023532https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/blogs/gary-brueggemans-the-roman-army-ancient-warfare/the-spacing-of-individual-soldiers?srsltid=AfmBOoo4OELm7SdkbJlQV8dvu20Hr3lEHjYT7pMXs8oh5lTxoE09cCrc
>>566024421Frankly, I think organization exists even among very primitive tribal warfare.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI4uirwxx1YLike here, sure, it seems like chaos, but when you look at it more, there is still some sort of order, sort of loose battle lines and organization.And in Rome 2 time frame I would imagine most if not all factions would use something more advanced then loose bands or rows of men skirmishing with javelins and bows. Because of the weaponry and built up traditions. But this is me talking more about formations themselves, were they used or not. It's kind of a separate question from how wide should gaps be between soldiers, but I assume any culture that had formations would develop some sort of practice on how to space them out, it wouldn't be willy nilly.
>>566012052Reminder that Thanquol canonically dies in the vortex campaign in Total Warhammer 2
>>566021063They referenced something about how Rome 2 is stuck on 32bit, but then they never said anything about whether they found a way to reoptimize the game, but they would need to do something like that to truly fix ToB and Attila
Does a couple extra recruit ranks for units REALLY matter?
>>566028639Just 2 ranks isn't a huge deal but get about +6 ranks and they operate at a whole tier higher than they should.Remember that the second part of the red line needs the units to be rank 7 or over to benefit.
>>566028639If your main stack is in a bumfucknowhere and all of a sudden strong faction declares war on you and they are coming at you with their main stack then yes, couple of extra recruit ranks does matter, it will make next couple of battles much more smoother.
>>566029258>>566029305Hmm, I think army building is one of my worst skills in this game and it even ruins most of my saves.Are you supposed to disband lower tier units ever? I feel like I keep my spearman/miner crapstacks too long.Economy is hard man.
>>566029583You should organically replace worse units with better units when opportunity arises. It's not advisable to just disband everything all at once because AI sees this as drop in strength ranking and they are more likely to declare wars on you when that happens.

>>565937043But end times doesn't end when malekith becomes Phoenix king. It ends with him crushed, giving away his kingdom to grimgor. He also has to become a tranny Dragon

>>566033381Not that anon but it's actually a pretty funny situation. Gohan is the protagonist's kid who doesn't like fighting but is forced to because the world is in peril and he's actually crazy strong from genetics. He had a super brief edgy phase as a teen, like literally around 5 minutes where he was also the strongest in the series, after which peace was achieved and he grew to be a happy nerd and a family man.For some reason fans of the character have been SEETHING about it for the last 30 years. THey demand he remains EDGY and STRONG and make endless fanfics about exactly that.

>>566028639Silver chevrons are already significant difference, gold ones with red line even more so. Rank 6 unit usually has 4-6 higher MA and MD. Lets assume middle ground of 5 and pit two otherwise equal units against eachother:>Unranked has 30% chance to hit >Ranked one has 40% chance to hitRanked one deals 33% more damage in a slug-off. Thats a significant difference. Against rank 9 (about 8 MA and MD) unit the hit chances are 27% and 43%: the ranked unit deals ~54% more damage, absolutely demolishing the unranked one. This wont mean your miners turn into ironbreakers, but the difference matters. Especially when you get redline rank7+ bonuses.

Guys, did you find Legend's back yet?
>>566037896True, but it's a good thing in the sense that I don't have to worry about aos bullshit clogging up search results when I'm looking for old world stuff.
>>566036981wow I want to fight and die over that piece of literal shit! can't wait
Tyrion & Teclis are Fëanor & Fingolfin rip-offs btw.
>>566042084If it's your main recruitment center or resources producer - you will and gladly.
>>566036195This is also the argument for always taking redline buffs that grant +ma/md while ignoring meme shit like speed, armor, weapon strength, or charge bonus.

>>566043902Feanor would be on the side of Malekith. Both got fucked in the ass by politics.
>>566044331They do better infantry collision though, like Warsphinx
How do I play Grombrindal the White Dwarf
>>566044365>get all the forests ready before doing rebirth on any, plan to do them all at once for a big clusterfuck>can only do one at a time with something like a 10+ turn cooldown
>>566044365I literally get bored of that faction after 2 turns, most factions at least have a thing to do for the first 10.
>>565957032I need Tzaangors
>>566043902Malekith is Feanor if Feanor could detonate a country. Feanors melty over his silmarils is funnier than Malekith not being king. He later had a melty over hos peoppe having enough of him too. At least Malekith's people followed him willingly he didn't have to burn their homes so they would come with him.
>>566022854>Bretonnia >limiting the number of peasant unitsDisagree. imo you should be able to field as many peasants as you can afford. The current peasant economy is shit. I've basically never recruited peasant mobs, and rarely recruited mounted yeomen because of how restrictive the PE is, and I'd rather have peasant bowmen than those other units.>"Feudal Fief" limiting your number of knight units.Like the other anon said, isn't this kind of what vows do?Knights should definately be harder to recruit than peasants though.
>>566044898The peasant economy is CAs way of telling you to stop using peasant and start recruiting 20 stacks of Questing Knights or better.
>>566043924Apology for what? I never cared for his shit or his drama. He pointlessly got angry with CA and probably got blacklisted by them, which was probably the real reason of his quitting and anger issues.
>>566029583>I feel like I keep my spearman/miner crapstacks too long.Same here lmao.I always feel guilty about disbanding my basic units that have been with me from the very beginning of the campaign and helped me scrape my way to victory through multiple tough battles. I try to swap them into 2nd/3rd/4th armies whenever I can.
>>566045424I mean I don't know if 3 units of tier 1 spearmen are better or worse than having 1 unit of a tier 3 dual axemen, for example, or a single fucking troll, like how do I know that?>inb4 it depends
>>566045130But I like using peasants.The best Bretonnia campaign I ever played was a Chevaliers de Lyonesse one where I peasantmaxxed and armourymaxxed and used minimal cavalry and heroes, and tried not to make Repanse and Henri do the heavy lifting in battles.
>>566043702>>566043924Screw Legend, we should be apologizing to Valrak instead. Everything he said was true. People said that he must have misunderstood leaks and there will be only DoW4 by KingArt or only DoW1 remaster. Turns out there are both of them, just like he said.People said he confused TW:W40K with DoW4. Turns out it's both, just like he saidPeople said it's bullshit about destruction, new engine, focus on faction customization, helldivers 2 map in TW40K etc. Turns out he was right
>>565986943Boris Toadbringer
>>566046387I still think itnwas a bad idea to release both DoW4 and TWW40k so close to one another.
>>566043702Me when I claim Bahshiva is actively being worked on and is supposed to come out in a few months, but is still somehow in early development two years later.Me when I claim there are zero plans for a Slaanesh DLC, even though there is already a roadmap that shows a Slaanesh DLC, and then there actually is a Slaanesh DLC one year after I say this.

>>566047683Even if it's the end times he isn't the phoenix king because of them. ET just confirms he was always supposed to be him and that the retarded chaos rituals the Asur used on the flame of Asuryan was a huge mistake. Petty politics and cope choked out their own god.

>>565937043Sure fanatic here. I'm cool with getting Tyrion (khaine) Sorry about stealing the KRAKEN LORD from your armies, and your mom. You can have Alarielle, I'm done with her
>>566054607There will be no Avatar of Khaine in ET. Sorry you had to learn it from me.
>>566051587Well when you consider the bigger picture and context....yeah.So if you actually read the end times books instead of shit post about them, you'd know that asuryan is kinda dead. He wasn't really in a position to do any trials past the true Phoenix king annerion. I forgot if it was Slaanesh that did it or if he just faded away, but he wasn't able to do any trials. It's highly alluded that lilieth (Bretonnia elf lady) was the one that warded malekith the second time to "confirm" him as Phoenix king so the elves could unite under one banner.No faction is immune to end times faggotry
How many wizards should I run in Gelt's armies in the early game? They only cost 100 books so you can get a shit ton, but your economy craters fast and both auto resolve and your diplomacy get shredded from the game thinking you're weak if you put too many in
>>566055131The only fantastic part about it is Lileath doing it. She's has a hateboner for Malekith ever since he blown up her sword of khaine equivalent - the crown. She would never let it go, she quite literally gave Aleaf his bow and immortality to kill him for it.
>>566055131He was clearly weakened by all the rituals. Khaine was at the peak of his power at all time because the dark elves actually empowered him through worship. Meanwhile Asuryan was dying a bit each time a new phoenix king was elected. I still think Khaine should have been the one that killed the setting and then just fuck off to the chaos realm to fight until his spark goes out.

>>566057612A balance pass to make them suck will be needed after a week from the release.
>>566057612They'll be limited units same as Eltharion's Mistwalkers, you increase caps by building Ulric buildings.
>>566057612Probably what >>566058027 said. I don't see stats that good on Empire infantry being spammable like Greatswords otherwise there's no reason to have Greatswords at all.
>>566058027Maybe for other emp lords. They announced that Middenland will be a sub-faction, with other factions having a bit of a longer time getting the units. >>566058572Greatswords will still have a place as infantry killers, but like all rosters, elite units make the lower tier ones more redundant. Kind of like white lions being mostly ignored for high elves, unfortunately.
>>566057612Good units? MPfags gonna freak.
>>566059374Elite infantry aren't part of MPfag metas in game 3, so I think they'll be safe from nerfs. These expensive, lower model count chosen clones get nuked by Bjunas and the infinite AP ranged options every faction has now. Just like how depth guard are rarely seen even after CA juiced them up like crazy
Boris should have a sync kill animation when fighting Khazrak where he stabs him in the eye.
>>566059034>Maybe for other emp lords. They announced that Middenland will be a sub-faction, with other factions having a bit of a longer time getting the units.Perhaps. Alternatively they could always tie those units to Middenland T5 landmark for other Empire factions.

I don't like that Daniel's skill tree is so big, and so god-specificI don't like that he has no tech treeI don't like that lesser demons are all locked at the start of the game and you have to recruit marauder dumbasses as basic infantryHis campaign feels very flawed, and even late game he feels like a personally weak lord.
>>566068181>I don't like that he has no tech treeHis tech tree is part of his glory unlocks - all those factionwide buffs that share similarities with other monogod factions like "+X Growth" or "+X Leadership for Y unit" are his techs.I agree with the rest, but I don't want him to be mindlessly overpowered, I personally like that he's the underdog of Chaos.
>>566053781>fantasyfags are used to having different regions producing different resources for 10 years now,You haven’t played Pharaoh if you think it’s good, wood, bronze, and stone are equivalent to old trade resources

>>566069503>seems accurate. Fortunately, Imperium has access to various methods of ExterminatusAnon the Imperium made it that way. That's your average Hive World.
>>566068181>he feels like a personally weak lord.Daniel has the literal strongest roster in the game. But yeah his lack of tech and skill tree without a doubt need a touch up. Not necessarily in power, but maybe something more God themed as he progresses. The nerf to bowelsteep was a huge blow, and idk if it's still in the game, but progressing with khorne used to literally debuff him by giving him bloodletting which incurs negatives if you don't fight every turn.

>>566077863>Skrag>19 GorgersI don't mean to out-rotund you but my dinner plate is going to be much meatier than yours.
do you guys play on the hardest difficulty settings in pharaoh? I found that the AI can make like over twice as many stacks as you can, even when you run on a deficit. Also, their stacks are all high tier while you’re barely managing like 2 mid-tier stacks. I ragequit my first campaign when my army got caught in force march against two high tier full stacks that came out of nowhere in the middle of the desert. This on top of the 3 stacks I could see closer to their settlements. I had more territory than them so it didn’t make sense that they could field that many stacks. Even if I managed to avoid getting caught in force march, I’m not confident my shitty mid tier stacks could have beaten their high tier stuff. Is the game properly balanced for the highest difficulty? I feel like maybe people who enjoyed the game played it on a lower difficulty setting so they didn’t experience the same situation. Chariots just don’t seem like as much of a force multiplier as cavalry and it’s not clear I could have overcome a better army with good micro. I haven’t played pharaoh since but I always consider coming back before remembering how bullshit it was that they had so many stacks
>>566081617neh neh remember when mpfags made Gorgers only barely usable on Skrag and worse than Bulls for Greasus? I remember! And I will never ever forget!
>>566081764The AI has more than 10 recruitment slots on legendary so it prints a stack every 2 turns. It's settlement building template always includes a recruitment building so it will be able to recruit anywhere in its empire, and since advancing up the building tree in Pharaoh is trivial they'll pretty much always have access to their best units.But the real kicker is Pharaoh's economy. Obviously the AI gets big income cheats, but it also actively trades with other AIs, all of whom also cheat their income and thus are always running massive surpluses they will trade away for pennies. This is why the AI can race through its building tree so quickly and why it can field infinite stacks of a single settlement. It just buys whatever it needs from whoever has it, and some AI always has it. You can also exploit this and it arguably makes Legendary easier than other difficulties since trading basically trivializes the game's eco.
>>566081764I first beat the game on normal then gave legendary a try and it was complete torture. For me Hard or Veteran might be the happy middle-ground.
>>566069098Old trade resources were just "waste the money to stand a merchant on this wine if you want the AI to come along and kill him in a couple turns before you get a return on investment", they were just optional economic bonuses if the mechanic wasn't fundamentally broken and did nothing else.
>>566060409What would Khazrak's sync kill animation be for Katarin?
>>566083934I did trade in order to get the resources I needed and stay out of the red, but even then I was barely supporting two mid tier stacks, it just doesn’t seem feasible to win against so much cheating.>>566084276Unfortunately I have ultra giga-autism and I can’t bring myself to play anything below the highest difficulty, which seems like a big issue with this game since the battle AI is actually pretty good and it’s hard to micro yourself out of a pinch. Chariots just don’t do that much damage when doing hammer and anvil, and I was playing tauset(?) who specializes in chariots.

Just remember no matter what happens, what people might say, what you do or don't do, you still have more reason to exist than basic skeleton warriors

THAUMANCY ANNUNKU!
>>566110765why did Age of Reckoning fail? They didn't have Cavill to protect the lore?
>>566110964Went too big too early. At release each race pair had their own starting to late zones; elf/elf, dwarf/orc, human/chaos. Ultimately competing for population. Although flavourful, it split the playerbase pretty heavily making the pvp and the pve competitive zones sparse. They later tried to adjust putting everyone into the human/chaos paths, but it was too late to stem the loss.
>>566110964>They didn't have Cavill to protect the lore?Lol lmao 40kuck. Hollywood actor won't do shit to "protect" the brand
squire, bretonnia status?
>>566111680I played this quite a bit when it came out and tried Return of Reckoning couple years ago but the netcode was fucked, huge amount of lag in large scale pvp.

>>566113694only the weak fear punishment. the strong derive sexual pleasure from punishment and eagerly welcome their vacation time, even going so far as to intentionally antagonize and bait the ire of our volunteer janitors. I get hard thinking about how they had to clean it up for free, for absolutely no monetary compensation whatsoever. LL for this feel? :)
>>566116926>Tretch Craventail because you're a lying bitch that won't post it

Is it a viable to do an armored elf-larping campaign with Thorek Ironbrow
>>566119261What do you mean by that? If you mean traditionalist dwarfs (ie. no gunpowder or high tech) he's probably the best option, yes. Notably, his incredible quarreler buffs only really apply to his army, so you'll struggle with your other armies as you reach the late game.
the game legend quit total war for
>>566119671so his quarrelers buff only apply to him uh... Well I guess that's good enough. I was curious if the buffs were falling off lategame
>>566119952kek
>>566085421Kerillian tanked that
>>566068181He has nothing to increase his local recruitment slots at all. He is stuck recruiting 2 units at a time forever. Horrible experience.
>only gut that makes Radious videosradiousbros?
What's with all the e-celeb worship around here?
>>566125182Just the natural human instinct to create tribes around authority figures.
>>566119952Paradoxtrannies will buy it either way.
How much does Norsca benefit from owning Sayl the faithless?I have Throgg and Wulfrik. Throgg is super faceroll and with Wulfrik I always get Btfo'd by Yuan bo.Maybe I'm just bad, in which case does anyone have tips or general strategies for Norsca? Does Sayl improve the other 2 lords significantly?
>>566127567Sayl is completely based around his own campaign. Without his mechanics he's just a slightly better caster on a mammoth.
>>566087498Nah I gotta be with the ratfags on this oneTotal Cruisenigger Death
>>566127669Sorry, I didn't mean Sayl as a campaign and lord. I meant the units he adds to Norsca's roster. Are they nice to have or do they actually address weaknesses?
>>566127783The Ettin and Dread Maw all two standout units in the DLC. Dread Maw especially if you have the skill and will to utilize it's abilities. Bearmen are also a good early unit and Beor is a excellent LH you can get very early by just recruiting bearmen.
>>566112008Content is coming alongside more elf DLC
>>566077962Amercian will be mad.
It's over for real ...https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs
>>566130619Alexa, play Come Sweet Death by the Third Impacts
>>566130619we had a good run, but all things must come to an endbut personally I will blame ratfags

Let me get this straight Legend nuked his career over a troll leak he received?
>>566127567Don't stay in Lustria. Leave and go back to Norsca.
Vostroyan DLC when ?https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/gpaqpfb5/the-vostroyan-firstborn-return-for-a-made-to-order-muster/
>>566135762Drawchad give us a Vostroyan guard getting Eldar'd
>>566046761>implying Sorry bro but all the primarchs are coming back to 40k. 2 more weeks.
Total War would never work with single entities, magic and flying units.
Did they pushback the release date for 40k after initial impressions?In december it felt like we would get a trove of info in spring, instead we get info we mostly knew about and 3 min of flyovers
>>56613818640k base game is already finished, they're working on patches and DLC
>>566138186probably
>>566119992Qurrelers can get around 120 ranged damage on Thorek. Thats almost 6x the damage of Quarrelers. Three of them have DPS similar to entire stack of unbuffed Quarrelers. Thorek's Quarrelers arent just "elves in armor", they mog elves entirely.
>>566127567Try Berserkers
>>566119671>Notably, his incredible quarreler buffs only really apply to his armyIsn't there one of his relics in the dark lands that buffs all quarrellers factionwide?
>>566139347any rune I need to craft asap?
>>566135762Any IG regiment that isn't Cadia would be better.
>>566135762surprised they are still mentioned despite being ruskies. I love their culture

Are there any mods for Warhammer 3 that make the girls more attractive without replacing all the male units? Found Endo's stuff and like it but I don't really want to only field female armies.
>>566101062thank you tzeentch-san
so the AI is able to tard wrangle the ranged units because it spams 5k clicks per seconds right
Is this approved by the emperor?
>>566084776>I did trade in order to get the resources I needed and stay out of the red, but even then I was barely supporting two mid tier stacks, it just doesn’t seem feasible to win against so much cheating.The AI has the kind of autism where it doesn't want to fight battles unless balance of power is overwhelmingly in its favour, so all you need to succeed is a pair of powerful stacks that can hug each other.The AI will either run from you and abandon its settlements to death, or it will hover around you looking for a chance to engage and let you pick off its armies one by one, then run from you.Another tip would be: the economy of the game is deceptive. An army that fights and wins a battle will earn enough food from after-battle spoils to pay for its entire upkeep + change. As long as an army fights every turn, its upkeep is essentially free. Stockpile food in the early turns when pressure is low so that you can deep into the negatives when major multifront wars are happening. You can afford to be tens of thousands in the red as long as you've got a big stockpile and you're fighting battles regularly, which makes it relatively easy to raise another army or 2 to cover a second front. Just don't leave those armies sitting around because the anti-snowball mechanic makes upkeep unaffordable even with stacking discounts. Just move in the direction of the enemy and fight battles as often as possible.3rd tip is that T1 units have half the food upkeep of T2 units, but then the food upkeep between T2 and T5 barely changes. Make use of T1 units if your roster has strong ones but otherwise you should fill your armies with as many elites as your gold and bronze allows. Your postbattle loot is based on the cost of the units you fought, so you only get bronze vs t3/4 units and only gold vs t5 so it can be a lot harder sustaining those resources.
Out of curosity: Any anons playing Olden Era?
>>566084776>Chariots just don’t do that much damage when doing hammer and anvilChariots are weird. 90% of their damage is physics damage from crashing into and riding through the enemy. Their melee attack is mediocre but they will autoattack nearby enemies while moving.If you give a chariot an attack command it charges the target and then just fucking stops and does sweet fuck all with its shitty melee. They also turn like bricks so you can't properly cycle charge with them like you would cavalry in a real TW game. To get the most out of them, you want to charge a unit, then order them to charge another nearby unit, ideally one on the opposite side of the unit they just charged. This will cause them to charge THROUGH it, dealing massive physics damage the entire time and usually just instantly deleting the unit they pull through. If there's nothing else nearby to charge, then just give them a move command through. Time it so they don't slow down or stop after charging because physics damage is based on speed which relies on momentum. A stopped chariot can't charge out of melee.Infantry and chariots both have weight classes that impact this damage interaction, the chariot needs to be significantly fatter than its target or else it does no damage and just gets stopped right away. Light chariots are basically only usable against light infantry like archers and are the best way to counter the huge missileballs the AI likes to recruit. Medium chariots are just kind of the worst compromise between speed and mass and aren't worth using unless you don't have anything else.Heavy chariots are rare and unique to specific regions/factions but can plow through most infantry.Infantry's effective 'mass' increases the tighter their formation, so a loose formation of spread out infantry charging will take way more damage from a chariot ripping through them then a moshpit will.
>>566151339Also, one last weird thing:Infantry in a braced stance massively increase their frontal mass to resist a charge, but otherwise it doesn't actually matter which side the chariot charges in from. Physics damage doesn't interact with Melee Defense or Armour so you don't get any bonuses for slamming into the rear and you should just aim to charge whichever target would be easiest to break through and from whichever direction would make that easiest. And since the defender's stats really don't matter outside of their mass, a heavy chariot can absolutely floor some very high-value targets if it catches them when their cohesion is low. Counterintuitively, most units are most vulnerable to a chariot charge when they're charging because their models spread out and thin the formation.
