Say the line Thanquolfag!
LL for this feel?
Haven't played in a hot minute, why are turn times so fucking load again? Didn't they fucking fix that?
Never losing hope.

I want to know more about prepositions

>>566370439>not 089wtf is this bullshit
Medieval 3 waiting room
>>566370439whoa bro that's crazy
>>566370439
>>566370695there is no meaningful difference between a voulge, a glaive, and a bardiche
>>566370695you know it's gotta be the spiky stick
>>566370695Fauchard what the fuck, oh you mean a bill
>>566367845Coming back soon, friends
>>566367845Speaking of that, where is he?
>>566373316Asleep? Most likely American just statistically
>>566370695Halberd>Stabs>Strikes>Hooks (on both sides in late halberds)>PiercesThe proportions on that chart are weird though, I think they're mostly not representative.>>566371315A glaive is constructed with a socket and langets like a halberd and project from the top of the shaft. Voulge and Bardiche have eyes and project to the side of the shaft.
>>566370695Halberd or bardiche. Halberd requires training and knowledge tho so bardiche is the safest option.
>>566373316I'm here, friend, I was sleeping.
>>566375052Thrust is the easiest attack howeverino
>>566370695Halberd or pole axe.
Everyone talks about Thanquol but nobody even bothers to mention Boneripper.
>>566375658Spear thrusts becomes deadly in numbers. You really cant protect yourself with with a long stick. You can use bardich like a sword or axe.
>>566375920Boneripper is important too, but Thanquol by himself is just way more iconic
>>566376065You can absolutely thrust solo in the same way a fencer can
>>566376480With a shortspear? Maybe if you have the training. But there is no thrusting a halberd more than 2 or 3 times without exhausting yourself.
>>566376769t. historian
>>566376769>But there is no thrusting a halberd more than 2 or 3 times without exhausting yourself.wat
>>566376480It depends. The longer, the harder single combat becomes. You shorten the haft or start striking with it like a quarterstaff (requires enough space).Also halberds existed on a spectrum of length and weight, thrust and strike. A bardiche might still be better for the untrained since it has a longer axe blade (easier to strike with the edge and not the haft, accidentally).
>>566367745>"My lady, the leak that said you would be added to the game was a fake."
>>566370695>everyone talking about edged weaponsits all the lucerne hammer
whats longma
>>566380441something so cool someone made a longma IIhttps://youtu.be/oI51J1tjUBs
for me? it's changebringers
>>566368309What cartoon was this? looks familiar
>>566380441I can't believe Yuan Bo died of longma
Carefully calculating which one the chuds hate morehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a-ooXkXasEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp63VSOvGXM
>>566382709Holy cringe. Don't open his channel description or you might get die of laughter.
>>566382984"Professional aura farm, undefeated duelist" pfft yeah bud, sure.I don't even get what the God line was trying to communicate.
>>566382709must be a really wretched experience, watching every trailer and post and announcement of something you hate and making non-stop videos about how much you hate it instead of doing things you likeat least he gets paid for it, can't imagine how much of a miserable cuck his viewers must be
>>566380441https://bad-dragon.com/products/bo
>>566383637>XL has the same colourslolthe spikes just look inconvenient though
How do I get gold from fighting demons, when they use favor? Is there an interdimensional gold and demonic favor exchange?
>>566383859One dropped a lockbox of powder that grows crops instantly, another had a shackle that makes the wearer a master blacksmithIn ancient times you would raid a supply caravan and it wasn't a waste of time just because it had furs and jars instead of chests of gold
>>566384183That makes sense.
>>566383859They pay you to not kill them
how do you use the slaanesh crossbow guys? do you fire first and then melee or do you keep them in the back and shoot the whole time?
>>566385992They are shades but with MUCH better melee stats. So yeah you can put them in melee.
>>566385992If there's still come dragon/cav/troll type shit to shoot then keep shooting
>>566383859butchering all the norsigger camp followers and taking whatever they had on them that was worth anythingthat's assuming it's a pure demonic army with no Chaosmanii to loot of all their armor and weapons
>>566388318Wouldn't it be a really bad idea to loot daemon armor? Even if you melt it down for other purposes you're gonna end up with a haunted ale mug
>>566388441that's the guy who buys it's problem
So I shit on Imrik turn 6, turn 7 he attacks me.. how do I rek him? I'm not used to playing such weak factions. I'm used to having good units.I really have no idea how to continue this campaign. It doesn't really seem possible.
>Will not exchange one of her settlement for one of mine.>Will exchange her very freedom for the same settlement.
Skarsnik or Grom for maximum gobbo world domination?
>>566388741Play Imrik, it's well known to be a much easier side to be on than Drazhoath the Difficult
>>566389410Wait, is he really a difficult campaign? I wasn't aware. I mean, I beat Imrik in Mortal Empries several times. Just had to learn the first 5 turn pattern.
>>566389358Grom is just lame powercreep cauldronSkarsnik is a true gobbo, a propa sneaky git
>>566389579It was easier in wh2, all you had to do was kill rats asap and you had nice little safe corner home.
>>566389579Heh, that moniker is no joke kid. Imrik has such an easy time stomping Drazhoath it's not really a challenge worthy of Caledor.
There's a small part of me that sincerely hopes tw40k will be good. If I could just see some eldar gameplay I could make a decision
>>566389691>>566389769Guess I'll just play my 100th Skarbrand campaign then.
>>566390015I'll not be touching it until 2/3 regardless
>>566389358A helpful infographic.
>>566390015probably wont be good until two or three years into it, it's the curse of the modern strategy gamepeople seem to forget how barebones launch warhammer 1 was, it only got good when mortal empires released for wh2
Turns out I'm too drunk for even Skarbrand.
>>566392120>KhornletPlease consider the following: see pic.
>>566394267no
>>566383806You bend the spikes towards the shaft, so that when you take the knot, the spikes are released and spread you even wider.
>>56639001540k is basically the make-or-break game for CA and they know it. Everything they've made since WH3 has flopped or failed to launch and that's a long time to go without a new release breaking even. I have no doubt that this will be CA's best foot forward, for better or for worse.Fortunately I'm not a 40k lorefag so as long as it doesn't look retarded or play like Rome 2 I will probably like it.
>>566366591Bjurna's damage is quite consistent at 3.5-4k damage, using it on a an expensive cav unit takes out more than half their health, gets you a lot of value relative to the cost and almost removes them out of combat.On teutogens it takes only about a third of their health leaving them somewaht combat effective and only really being worthwhile if they're at least 1400g expensiveIf you expect heavy infantry you could also just take purple sun instead which i believe would outdamage bjurna even on 80 models
>>566390015It'll be shit cause all the good devs left at CA are working on Alien Isolation 2.
>muh bashiva>muh tigerswhat happened to pic related? Is it delayed? I don't see CA dropping 2 DLCs within the span of 2 months and apparently this furry whore nobody cares about gets released first so what the fuck??
>>566396106Tigers are bound to drop at the end of this month. CA needs something for Skull Thrones and it'll probably be that, the typical FLC and the reveal for the next End Times lord. I'd put money on Glottkin
>>566396106All the Warhammer vidya are getting stonewalled by Goys Workslop's Skull and Thrones event.It's not exactly a Total War issue, every other Warhammer vidya update is getting delayed thanks to that quarterly slop.
>>566396106>I don't see CA dropping 2 DLCs within the span of 2 monthsBashiva: May.ET: September.
>>566397032>ET: September.so they lied
Just bought Warhammer 3 and getting my ass kicked by the orks.How the fuck do you fight them when every fight is a 20vs40?My formations dont mean shit when they have more than enough units to flank from every direction and go straight for my gunners and artillery.How do i get gud at this game?
>>566397221September 1st to 21st is summer CHUD
>>566397221British summer doesn't end till October.
>>566397221
>>566397310>>566397325what the fuck is wrong with Britain... Oh that's right, many things. I'll add this one to the list.
>>566397707two can play that game.
>>566397270It depends on what faction you are.Generally if the enemy has overwhelming numbers, you want them to blob up, then use AoE splash damage to fuck em up.
Everyone says Boris Ursus is the hardest campaign in Immortal Empires.He's the only Kislev faction I have any interest in but his starting units are so rough vs Archaon especially. Is it almost necessary to buy shadows of change to get a leg up?>>566397270what legendary lord are you playing as and against?
I love you guys, even tho u are gay
i hope that medieval 3 will also cover the early medieval time period. I want some charlemagne and vikings
>>566398551from what I've heard M3 is from the year 1100 to 1500 ish. And that's right after the nordics were Christianized. So I wouldn't get my hopes up. Unless they let us play from year 800 or so. Which would be cool. Also in TW Attila we play around year 400, which was before the viking age. Yet CA still put vikings in the game as "norsemen", with raiding mechanics and everything.
>>566398417>My formations dont mean shit when they have more than enough units to flank from every direction and go straight for my gunners and artillery.just run to a corner and do this
>>566398417>Everyone says Boris Ursus is the hardest campaign in Immortal Empires.I dont think I've heard anyone say this
>>566399593what's your pick then? For hardest campaign.
>>566398383>>566398417Im playing Thorgrim vs Gorbad.Just defeated him but it cost me 90% of my army
>>566398457i love u 2 bb
>>566399552but that's cheese...
>>566398551*clickLOAD OF BRETONNIAI AM CHIVALROUS*clickOUR GODS HAVE MANY FACESSOUTHERN WEAKLINGS
>>566399741One path to victory is to simply win using superior stats. Dwarfs have heavy armor. For example get some Longbeards, and with Lord skills + research + levels + rune banners, you can get dwarfs that are so strong they just win. Another path is to use ranged.Try adding two Flamers to the army early on. Irondrakes. They can obliterate hundreds of orcs. Just gotta watch out of chariots. Gyrocopters is also super strong early game. Shoot enemy archers or lord, then drop bombs on orc blobs.
>>566398090I gave you a precise date, down to the day tho.
>>566401369Thank you for that. It just feels rotten to say something comes during [season], and then they pick the last nanosecond of that season.
>>566399741what turn is it? like the other anon said you can rush flame units and position your front line to give them a clear line of fire and you will melt the mobs of boyz.you start with a gyrocopter as thorgrim too so spam your bombs over them as they run to you.also you can recruit a 2nd lord with little or no units and use him to bait Gorbad. move him close to gorbad's army then keep Thorgrim's army in ambush stance right next to him on a space that has high ambush chance like a forest
>>566368491Post more supremefu
>711 killsnot bad for a couple mortars
>>566407724Did you target the Greenies or the Beardies?
Is CA really going to put base game content behind a paywall? For every step they take to recover their reputation, they take two steps backward.
>>566407998greens. they marched across the map to meet the dwarfs and then the same way back. ai can't differ between two factions in a battle apparently
>>566408343>Is CA really going to put base game content behind a paywall?
>>566408343old toddy will probably remain playable in skirmish/multiplayer with his old look just like he was for owners of Beastmen and will be separate from new one
>>566408782are they competent enough to not have two todds in middenheim at once?
>>566397032>ET: SeptemberBet? I don't think it's even happening this year. If they can't even do three factions in less than 12 months
>>566397714You'll have to get in line, the whole world wants us dead
does Thorgrim's unique skill that gives him buffs "when fighting foes with 1000+ grudges" trigger if the army you're fighting has 1000 grudges, or the faction as a whole, and if it's the latter, how can you tell how many grudges a whole faction has against it?
>>566397221They lied back when they said they won't do ET as well.
>>566415890>they said they won't do ET as well.Oh yeah that's why the first DLC ever was the prologue to ET, right? LMAO get off the cope.
>>566397221>They attacked him when he spoke the truth
DaC v6.0 open betadale got a rework in this version but I don't think I'll play them, they're apparently quite buggy. who should I play?
>>566417773King Bain?
>>566417928The crownetta man.
>>566417773A R N O R
>>566415890
>>566395440It's going to be a warhammer 3 reskin made to run on consoles. Unfortunately the 40k logo will undoubtedly make it break even at least
>>566367745 This is the second time I've seen the second dragon sister depicted like that girl from that enemy I didn't see even though I watched anime any particular reason why besides both being watered people?But I didn't come here for that I came because I'm going to start a new campaign in TWW3 of Volkmar the Grim I have all the current Empire DLCs any mod suggestions before I hunt down The great necromancer books and Conquer in the name of the Cult of Sigmar? I think I did one campaign earlier with him but that was like in the first year of the game coming out .

>>566408361Hopefully allied AI is improved for 40,000. There are going to be lots of situations where 2 factions will be fighting against 1.
>>566419820rats can't rape as long as reddit likes them. they metaphysically prevent them from doing so

>>566421670Glad I'm not the only one who wants halflings. Dogs of War first though.

Is there a special button to dismiss a lord? He isnt in a special stance, he doesnt have any units attached to him, and the boot button only allows me to replace him instead of just get rid of him.
Malus Darkblade gives his entire army +10 melee attack.
>>566433267Shame CA nerfed him to the ground due to dawifag tears.
>>566394267How do they perform these procedures? Isn't chaos armour cursed and you can't remove it?
>>566433419there's probably some sort of mechanism to let you poop, pee and eat
>>566433357I thought it was daemonfag tears. He still has phys res so for dawi with vast majority phys damage he hadn't changed much.
>>566432045What is it like to be a female chaos dwarf?
>>566433267Epidemius has to deal with that guy before turn 10.
>>566433835luckiest women in the world. their husbands either gets hard as fuck forever or vecome a literal bull

If they say that something is not currently in their plans it doesn't mean that it will never be in their plans - why is this so hard to grasp?
>>566433112In the skills tree window, there is a button to reset all the skills, the Lord will be "wounded" 3 truns and then be back in you available Lords recruitment panel.

>>566433663Malus lost all access to ward save for some retarded reason while dawi have Lords with 40% ward saves at base. I won't even mention that he starts surrounded by armies that have access to magic attacks while dark elves don't have a single unit with them.
>>566436030you just know when they finally show off her design it'll fucking suckGW and CA will find a way to make her as ugly and unappealing as possible and redditors will defend them for doing so
>>566435679what's that weapon supposed to be?
>Sayl the FAITHLESSSo, not a zoomer, then, I take it
>>566436451just like the tiger women. mods will fix it, but does it have to be ugly every time?
>>566436516I don't get it
>>566436516Sayl is the coolest lord in ToT for me. I love scheming characters. Especially ones that always get kicked to the dirt and never lose motivation to scheme more.
>>566436451Bro, Fantasy Battle isn't anime it has it's own visual style for faces. Especially when cathay characters in lore look like yellow peril knock offs.

>>566437471I serve Cambusken
>>566437059Domination is actually a pretty fun mode and doesn't need 30 pages of rules to functionWh3 unironically has the best multiplayer out of any total war (very low bar)
>>566437297Every unit needs to be able to fight in melee combat. Maybe they figured it would make more sense to have a portion of dedicated melee troops in a unit of Guards so they're not all pulling out chainswords in melee, or punching with their guns like in DoW.
>>566437764Cathay lore is written with reddit in mind. You are wasting your time thinking about it. TOW is a disaster when it comes to the quality of writing.
>>566437471
>>566438036That's a evil elf that hates Bretonnia!
>>566435679The entire discourse of "They shouldnt be blocks shooting at each other bro!" is completely hilarious to me, considering that is exactly what 40k art portrays, and most 40k TT shooting occurs in open ground
>>566437471>tfw hashut will never love me, because i'm not a manlet
>>566437297>>566437964TW40k has units with varied weapons within one unit. Maybe you can simply upgrade your entire guardsman unit from generic swords to chainswords

>>566437965>TOW is a disaster when it comes to the quality of writing. I like the origin in the not unless Russia capital story about the origins of Daniel and also those boys in the forest and the story about the town and Mother Ostankya And also The time Prince Yuan was supposed to have a meeting with his sister Miao Ying Probably for the best I watched all of them being narrated by someone on YouTube.
>>566438562you could build one, but how are you going to make it puke and cry lava?
>>566438576around 20 maynext week there will be announcement probably
>>566438546Tau have close combat weapons as well and can fight in melee
>>566438721Sigmarxists would send witch hunters after him.
>>566438223No one likes Bretonnia
>>566438452It should be organic.We need to have non-retarded unit AI that will more smoothly transition from ranged behavior to melee behavior, especially when part of the unit is being attacked by melee but the other half needs to keep firing.
>>566438223you said the same thing trice
>>566438912Louen does.
>>566439048pretty some units do. pink horros or plaquebearers, iirc
>>566437297The funny thing about the warhammer chainsword is that it blocks itself with the big guard, even real chainsaws don't have that safety feature because it's not going to make a cut wider than the guard
>>566437764>>566418343>>566367745Yin-yin apparently got a page just wanted to tell you before I started reading it do you if she might have any good quality.
>>566439303https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Yin-Yin
>>566439243you just have to have two sets of chains and they have to bend slightly inwards inside the guard and slightly outward outside the chain. shouldn't be too hard to make. i think the real problem would be wood (and guts) getting stuck inside the guard
>>566397221They didnt lie the truth just changed idiot
>>566439538The chainsword isn't a durable weapon. In lore they are useless in prolonged fights and loose teethe even after a single cut. They are more of a psychological symbol. Eldar have the only actually durable and effective chainswords in the setting.

Creative Assembly confirmed that Total War: Warhammer 40,000 would have a cover system and that some units will have access to jetpacks.

>>566437297because there arent assault guardsmen, guardsmen just shoot people, melee is left to specialists like catachan or ogryns
>>566443897This isn't technically true. Guardsmen have bayonets. They fight like early 20th century infantry.
>>566444050but their primary job is to shoot people, not equip a chainsword and rush
>>566444570"Primary job" does not mean "only job". They shoot, they bayonet, they lob grenades. They're infantry from WW1 and WW2, which I wouldn't put into a melee engagement against knights wearing plate armor but that doesn't mean they didn't fight hand to hand.
>>566444808>not equip a chainsword and rush
>>566445106I think chainswords are only given to officers.
>>566445374that doesnt change the fact that guardsmen are not rushing into melee like catachans or ogryns
>>566445630They can if ordered to bayonet charge. This isn't mutually exclusive.
>>566445886but thats not their primary job now is it
I sincerely wish for all 40kiddies to die
>>566446316>primary jobWho cares? They can bayonet charge if ordered.
>>566446397you do, youre the one arguing for it
>>566446916No, you're the one claiming they can't engage in melee as if they're the Tau or something.
>>566446990i never said that, i said>because there arent assault guardsmen, guardsmen just shoot people, melee is left to specialists like catachan or ogrynsreferring to >>566437297, where they are making the delineation of their being two types of guardsmen
Karl Franz is the second coolest Emperor in the Empire, I think; just bellow Sigmar, but right on top of Magnus (who is pretty cool too tbf).
>>566433835Pretty good so long as they can have kids.>The Harridans are an elite unit of exclusively female Chaos Dwarf warriors who act as bodyguards for a Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer. They recruit almost exclusively from Chaos Dwarf women who have passed the age to bear children, for without this, their only value in their unforgiving society now lies as fanatical warriors in service to the priesthood of Hashut, the minor Chaos God of fire, greed and tyranny.>They wield their warhammers with the maddened zeal of fanatics, the burned stumps of their tongues wriggling in silent cries of hate. Lightly armored, these fierce warrior-women are fanatical killers, with even Norscans often remarking that they have the sheer ferocity and total abandonment of Dwarf Slayers.
>>566434497I don't think I will be able to reply with source.

I gave Norsca (Wulfrik) another shot and he's very fun.Seafang is very very strong and cool and once I figured out I can use it defensively it made defense of my coastal cities much easier.I have some questions for any Norsca-fags. Can I tele to a random port city, raid it, then dip out once seafang is up again? Like can I just declare war on everyone half a world away with no repurcussions since I can sail off?Are norscan hound units any good or just plague hounds?And finally should I keep a dedicated monster hunting army of javelin marauders? I can't discern any other units that can deal with big monsters. I barely completed the first frost dragon hunt with 5 javelins and a wall of spearmen with a marauder lord.>>566452973>>566453936>>566454021holy FUCKING based
>>566463058no refunds
>>566463065ice wolves hit as hard sauruses and theyre large units, and they have slowing attacksjavelins are good units in general, they do about as much damage as handgunners against armored large targets except they can throw in an arc, other anti large units are skinwolves and fimir, but fimir are more defensive in nature

>Ally asks me to join their war for a fee>Agree>Next turn: peace negotiated
Why is it when my settlement is being attacked, I cant choose to fight inside the castle walls?
>>566470443If you're talking about fantasy then it's because minor settlements are field battles unless you build the garrison building that adds "walls".
>>566470683RIP this run then. Dechala is ripping my ass open on the open battlefield even with my army being twice the size of hers.
>>566470879Playing Gelt I imagine? His campaign got a 10x difficulty multiplier after Dechala
pergamon rises from the ashes and reigns supreme!
>>566472595Yeah im playing Gelt. Dechala went north to fight the vamps so I waited a few turns then took all her settlements. Well she came back, and I was able to defend my main settlements against her weaker armies while she came directly to me to get her main settlements back. I had a second army because I figured she'd return. I even set up inside the walls. Its literally just her and her army of spear marauders but she just destroys me. If I could fight inside the walls I could just bottle neck her units but im forced to sully out so my missile units cant get a could shot on her without being vulnerable.

>Karl Franz start with Helmgart empire-fort at turn 1Since when ? I remember it being part of the secessionist faction.
>>566493414I think AGO is the bloated one, but now they're both using the engine overhaul so I don't know what to think
Real problem with lotr mods is that they will ALWAYS use movie armors. Which means plate armor for Gondor, Uruk hai... Lotr needs to look early medieval, maybe even late antiquity.

>>566500303That's how chance works, frog tard kun
>>566500303The main dwarf mechanics's reward is trollhammer gyrocopters. Being able to confederate lords is completely secondary.
>>566500303you still get to revive the lord, yes?either way in my experience it's super random whether a dwarf faction lives or dies.
>>566500303You do know you can confederate them even if they died, yes?
>>566500303These games don't even have features from older TWW2 mods where you could confederate all lords at the start of the game, or get them if their faction was destroyed and so on.CA is lazy.
>>566497078>more contents than what Helves gotDruchii will see this and still be like "we are famished, we need content!".
>>566501296Yes, because all of that is slaanesh shit, dark elves didn't get extra unit pack or whatever like some other factions did.

for me it's the mcchicken
Do those ogres which start next to Zhao Ming leave you alone, or should you just wipe them out as soon as possible?
>>566508458I play all total war games on normal/normal. If harder difficult just buffs the stats of units just because they are controlled by AI then it's pointless as a difficulty.
>>566511915What's wrong with that? That's like complaining that in racing games AI opponents have better car parts (because better car stats) and you need to drive more skillfully yourself or manually fine tuning your engine yourself.All it is is cope.
>>566507023I rather have slaves-warriors as chaff unit holding the line while my Darkshards do all the job (helped by the Murderous Prowess filled both by the enemies + my slaves deads)
Nopelon Total War Warhammer edition
>>566512438NTA, but it just gets stupid when the AI can afford 3 full armies per province they have in WH3. I'd love if they had fewer, but stronger armies than massing shit tier units.
>>566512438You see, it takes me out if my units are weaker (or AI's stronger) just because they get some buffs from game rules/difficulty, stats wise.Also, I don't want to play something like legendary and cheese, use specific formation and unit compositions just because of those stat boosts. Really, AI is weak on the campaign map first, and battle buffs are just bandaids, although, battle AI is kind of shit as well, when it comes to dealing with even simple flankings.
>>566513186As Vlad in my current campaign I have Stirland and Ungrim vassalized and I have to say, outriders and advanced artillery in a VC army goes fucking wild.
>>566513392And to add, I think CA doesn't know how to make it work better. Which is why I just want roleplay, eye candy and more sandbox out of their games these days. I mostly play historical now, but either way, whatever you play, there should be room for more player optionality.Like expand on custom battles. Why is it only 2 sides in the battle, why is it that you can't mix and match units from all factions in custom battles, why is it that hotsteat mode was removed, why is it that you can't control all units of all factions on a custom battle, as if some sort of toy soldier set. It would be great for making battle videos.Basically, CA is lazy and doesn't give me enough options.
>>566513446Funny, enough I am also playing as Vlad in my current campgain in the Old World mod.And currently I am preparing for a war against Reikland and Wissenland as both of them combined have over 50 settlments
>>566513847I've noticed that fighting against game 3 races as something as old and busted as Counts is fucking awful. Dealing with Khorne in the far north is a huge pain in the ass.
>>566398551>>566399420It would be so nice if get to play in both the modern style, but also the risk style from Shogun 1 and Medieval 1.A man can dream
I don't like playing skaven, its too high maintenance
>>566515264Good, you are roleplaying as a stressed out and paranoid rat, after all.
>>566515264huh? i what way? just summon some clanrats and shoot or send your monsters in
>>566515435So weird how you guys play like that with no infantry recruitment
>>566515559you can also just keep a couple of skavenslaves instead. you don't have to use the summon crap meta
>>566513368More armies = more exp and gold for you to use, so in a sense it's balanced.>>566513392Does it also take you out when you're in forced march or during lightning strike and all your troops have:-15% speed-30% MA-10% MD-25% Armor-30% Charge-35% reloadingHow do you deal with the fact that game isn't 100% constantly always perfectly balanced?
>>566514750Because I haven't played VC since WH2 I noticed that as the campaign goes on VC become weaker simply because all other races have better unitsFind it kinda funny how the first DLC for WH1 was for VC and the last DLC for WH3 will be for VC as well.
>>566515757Why not clanrats they're good
>>566516004skavenslaves are almost free and do the job just as well. though go clanrats if you play queek
>>566515435weapons teams are difficult
>>566516403they melt the enemy. just protect them from cav and dogs
>>566515950>implying last DLC>implying it's for VCThe ET DLC is incidentally VC at best because of Nagash. I'm hopeful they get a significant reworkj and a lot of new stuff, but I don't actually expect it given how much other shit is going into the DLC too. Hell the undead portion seems to be split between vamps and Tomb Kings, so that's even worse.
>>566515865Marching or things like that is what you choose to do in game, with drawbacks and positives, basically tactics. That shit is ok.What I don't like is unit getting higher stats than the baseline, just because it's AI controlling them. Same faction, same unit, but if it's by AI, units get better attack and so on. That I don't like.
>>566516153They really don't
>>566517368their job is to hold the enemy and die trying, while your guns and monsters wreck havock
>>566517498Which clanrats stay in long enough to do, slaves just run
>>566516506>cav runs right through my rats and into my weapons teamnow what
>>566517705your enemy should be decimated long before your skavenslaves run run
>>566517815focus fire those cunts with jizzails and ratlings or tear them a new one with warp grinders
>>566517815AI won't do that they'll just dripfeed different units to your weapons teams Which rangedspammers still find fun I guess
>>566517815corner camp like every other respectful total war warhammer player

>>566519853go back to brazil, ligger
>>566520008At least Brazil isn't overrun by 9/11 brown people unlike whatever wigger shithole you're from
>>566516602My point is that you are already perfectly capable of dealing with situations that put you against unfavorable odds though different means. Whether it's unlocking specific technologies, rushing specific buildings to get better units, investing into red line skills or just using plain old better tactics - it all exists to test your skills, adaptability and wit. You don't even have to cheese if you combine things I've mentioned above, you'll always end up being superior to AI.

A reminder that Nurgle has what is by far the most overpowered form of recruitment in Total War.Don't listen to the people who say that Nurgle is weak.
>>566524021I haven't installed that cheat.
>>566524069Nurgle is based and since the fixes he's even more based.My only regret is they don't have a hot Pox Cutie Lord.
>>566524069>Have enough Rancid Aloe's to recruit two stacks of chosenThey never stood a chance.
I'm playing as ThorgrimI was under the impression that the book of grudges will allow me to confederate other dwarf lordsBut it's.. empty? There are two more dwarf factins in the game left, Ungrim Ironfist I already HAVE as a lord, I got him after his faction was destroyedBut why I have no option to confederate the other ones?I saw screenshots online and they should be there, I'm not saying I would be able to afford it yet, but it's not there at allis it a bug?
>>566524069You can't spam units in the early game, which is the only part that matters. Festus mogs actual Nurgle factions hard.
>>566524569Huh. It should let you recruit all living Dwarven Lords.>>566524657Warriors of Chaos is better than all Chaos factions since they have the upgrade tree option.
>>566524569You don't own the DLC for those lords.
>>566524069Praying for Lizardmen rework that incorporates a similar recruitment system.

Sieges are better in historical Total War games.
Attila has the best sieges
>>566524902I know they're better in Shogun 2 where any castle but highly upgraded ones you can siege briefly and just win them.
>>566529016>better in Shogun 2lolnoyou can just burn gates and march your army insideenemy AI does not use yari wall so you can kill their entire army by just camping with your own yari wall inside of the gateeven better if you have katana samurai, just march them inside and they'll kill everythingin siege defense just put ranged units on walls where they'll get reload speed and accuracy bonuses and then pull them out once the enemy starts climbing on the walls and place melee units on the wall instead or have yari wall just close to the walls where you can see their spears poking out of the walls where they'll instakill every climberinstead of rome 2, the retard manning old games at creative assembly should have started modernizing shogun 2 since it's actually the most active community outside of the rome remastered one

So are the vassal AI supposed to be retarded in this game? Feel like being a Vassal just destroys their ability to do anything that isn't just camping home base and being ignored by enemy AI, had Hellebron running around inside the empire with the nemesis crown and getting ignored by everything, she killed 1 army inside a settlement after 5-6 turns and just ran all the way back to the other side of the oceanAlso had an Ork waaagh to the west of the empire as well and Franz was getting raped by the greenskins and then the Orks just made peace with him after I attacked Karl from the eastern flank, so currently the Rank 1 army is just AFKing with 4 armies inside the empire doing nothing
If I'm an agent of chaos i should call my allies into every war in case they break alliance and allow me to avoid diplomatic penalties for declaring war on them too, right?
my low effort atilla shitpost
>>566538614Give them the order to defend one of your armies. It will make them follow that army around and hopefully soak up damage. Vassals will almost never attack on their own.

>>566544381Take clients that are losing their wars, not winning them. Remember that once the contract ends, you just get peace automatically and whoever you just beat the crap out of doesn't get a say any further, so it doesn't matter if you declare war on the strength rank 1 faction, there will be no consequences.
>>566544617you mean checking the strenght rank in the diplo menu?
>>566544758Yeah. Or alternatively, their number of settlements. Just check that there's actual fighting to be done.
>>566544381take contracts with minor factions that can't defend themselves, if you help LLs you need to pick ones that are getting 1v4'd or otherwise totally fucked. Like the other guy said, you can peace out no questions asked once the contract is done, so there are no consequences for being ambitious as long as you survive long enough to stack ~2000 satisfaction

>>566543663it's because 40k writers are hacks who can't come up with original plotseither that or they all want human boyfriends

>>566543663>>566545726For the past 15 years or so eldar have been written as imperium sidekicks or punchbags, there is no middle term.Even in their black library premiere book series they are mogged by a literal who chapter of space marines and a regiment of guardsmen
Total War Warhammer 40k should have focused first on the Age of Strife and Great Crusade, the tech they've shown on show and tell is pretty primitive for a 40k game and it would be better if the first title is the player as the Emprah of Mankind with his Thunder Warriormaniii and Custodianmaniii uniting Terra; deleting the Thunder Warriormaniii with Astartesmaniii and contiuning on with the Great CrusadeThen the 2nd game focuses on the Horus Heresy, same shit but this time its updated and has ship and Titan battlesAfter perfecting the formula they can now bring in everyone else and combine TW, DoW, Battlefleet Gothic, CoH, Aeronautica Imperialis in one solid final trilogy
>>566543663If all xenos were 100% hostile, it would mean that the Imperium was right to be a genocidal fascist regime.Today dev cannot accept this, so they always make the Eldar allies of the Imperium.
>>566551204Thank god you are not in charge of decisions then
>>566552452The issue is that GW gotta decide if eldar are a threat to the imperium or not. They still market them as a real player in the galaxy, because, well, they need to sell the models, but they are written as irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.Kinda like Tau and Votann, but without the benefit of being irrelevant due to being in-lore a fledgling race (Tau) or literally have no written lore (Votann)
>>566551204
>>566552452>Today devEven in 1e rogue traders were cooperating with xenos regularlyThe imperium has always been retarded and in fact was even more retarded the further back you go
who calls?
>>566553528ghostbusters
>>566551204Great Crusade + Horus Eresy is Primarchslop cringe and the worst thing to happen to 40KIt was better when it was your dudes and the past of the imperium was a mystery just told in legends, now it's marvel soap opra bullshit with primarch wank
>>566547520>try to give leldar their very own book trilogy>it flops so hard it gets cancelled two books in>only thing anyone remembers about it is "guilliman's girlfriend lmao"how come wh fantasy elves can have their own storylines and lore independent of humans but space elves can't?
>>566557595space marines sell more books so writers sandbag xeno stories because they don't sell well so why put so much effort in which then drives more people to buy space marine books instead of xeno books
>>566557595There is actually 2 complete trilogies, a very good single book and the incomplete trilogy of ynnari.>one have craftworld eldar fucking around then finding out, when the space marine chapter and a guardsmen regiment ravages alaitoc, having to be convinced to leave politely.>another have vect pretending to be retarded in order to purge his political enemies using chaos daemons, almost destroying a section of commoragh in the process.>The single book is the only known register of eldar being competent, where yriel outmaneuvers a tyranid hive fleet and btfoes it (after heavy eldar losses however, as usual).>The canned one was about how ynnari are seen as weird shits and there is an attempt to retcon eldar and necron relations.Thats it afaikThen there is all the warhammer tv shit, which treats eldar like utter garbage
>>566557595My hope is that TW40K makes interest in xenos surge up and we start getting books for the xenos races.My copium is entirely fueled by how popular elves and other non-human order races are in TWWH3

>>566572513again, I'm enviousI wish I was drunk right now
maybe this is a hot take or whatever, but Eldar are mainly fucked by their basic lore making them both übermensch gigachads with precognition and a dying race barely holding onto their place in the galaxyif they ever lose a battle eldar fans will screech for literal decades about how that's "disrespect" and how GW hates themif they depict the eldar exactly as their lore describes them and have the eldar predict their enemy's every movement and outmaneuver the enemy win with ease the story has no tension and rapidly becomes a snoozefestadd to that the fact they're also said to be a dying race barely holding on and unable to replace their losses, so if you're a writer just having them show up requires you to bend over backwards to justify why the dying race is wasting lives doing whatever it is the plot is, hardly worth the effort when most of the fanbase doesn't care about the faction to begin with
>>566573185them being capable of precognition but unable to change their fate is exactly what makes them a tragic race. eldar (and elves in fantasy) are heavily inspired by ancient greek culture.
>>566573028I'm rocking a 10beer hangover rn. You can have that and my liquid beer shits if you wanna.
>>566573185GW can give us a story about a small group of a Farseer and her group trying to stop an impending doom similar to the Path of the Dark Eldar. So they will still face some difficulty by virtue of being outnumbered and they need to be cunning to do it.>add to that the fact they're also said to be a dying race barely holding on and unable to replace their lossesthat's what happened when you have a bunch of hacks with their reasoning like "There are as many elves as the plot demands" or "Nothing is true, everything is canon" because maintaining a degree of consistency is too hard for the small british company.>requires you to bend over backwards to justify why the dying race isAgain, that's mainly because of hacks like Gav Thorpe with his autism that Dying Race means Eldar should never win a conflict, even if they won a pyrrhic victory, the cost will be too high that it will loop back being a defeat again.

So did I just get shittier, or did they do something to nerf ghorst over the years? I distinctly remember him feeling punchier than this with his zombies in the past
>>566590957I know he was nerfed when he's AI because they wanted Kugath to be less aids but I can't remember if they nerfed Ghorst in general.
>>566591037I think his zombie buffs were more busted on IE launch when he was first moved. They're still really good, I think his borders are just pretty tough to defend from the mountains, gelt/Zhao to the east, and kugath to the south. Also, fuck your second expansion province being unpleasant climate. Almost as annoying as Grom, but he takes the cake with 100% of your starting foes being yellow climate

I never bought any chaos warriors DLC but I'm interested in Festus and Azazel.I have some questions though.Will I lose out on anything if I buy the champions of chaos but I don't have the warriors of chaos DLC from TWW1?I have Tamurkhan and I know he also benefits from the champions of chaos DLC but are there any other factions affected by it? Like, does Norsca gain anything from champions or warriors of chaos?On a related note, why aren't the legendary lords from Champions of Chaos withing their respective god's race? Do each of them get to recruit mortals devoted to other gods? And if so, that doesn't seem to make much sense to me.If Festus is a mortal champion of Nurgle, why isn't he with Tamurkhan? Why is Tamurkhan, famous for recruiting a wide variety of mortal races and uniting tribes under one god's banner, not within the Warriors of chaos subfaction?it's all very confusing to me both gameplay and lore-wise
>>566598016pirate all that shit nigga>it's all very confusing to me both gameplay and lore-wisewho cares about lore lmaooo
>>566598016if you buy Champions of Chaos instead of Warriors of Chaos, I think the only thing you lose out on is not being able to play the original women of color LLst. owns Golgfag but not the Ogre Kingdoms and doesn't miss out on any units except Skrag and Greasus
>>566598016They fucked up Chaos completely so it's all a messInitially they just had Warriors of Chaos like in tabletopThen they made Norsca separate faction, which it never was, because they are just low tier units of WoCThen they copied AoS/40k and made Monogods which never existed in WHFBAnd added random Daemons of Chaos faction to bootTo make it even more nonsensical they fucked up implementation of unique characters, so for an example now Festus, some random doctor is in charge of an army of Chaos Warriors, while Aekold Helbrass, the guy more suited to leadership role is just a heroSo now it's all schizophrenic and arbitrary
>>566598016Only thing you'll miss are the original LLs and RoRs

>>566598016>Will I lose out on anything if I buy the champions of chaos but I don't have the warriors of chaos DLC from TWW1?The only thing you will miss from WoC DLC is the 3 LL (Archaon / Sigvald / Kholek).You even get access to all the units from WoC DLC.>I have Tamurkhan and I know he also benefits from the champions of chaos DLC but are there any other factions affected by it? Like, does Norsca gain anything from champions or warriors of chaos?Nurgle race (Tamurkhan/Epidemius/Kugath) got access to all Nurgle themed units/Lords/Hero.Khorne race (Skarbrand/Skulltaker/Arbaal) got access to all Khrone themed units/Lords/Hero.Slaanesh race (Dechala/N'kari/Masque) got access to all Slaanesh themed units/Lords/Hero.Tzeentch race (Kairos/Changeling) got access to all Tzeentch themed units/Lords/Hero.Daemons of Chaos race (the Daemon Prince) got access to some units as well.I don't think Norsca got anything from CoC DLC.
>>566598016>>566606937>On a related note, why aren't the legendary lords from Champions of Chaos withing their respective god's race? Because CA didn't plan things properly 10 years in advance. They probably had no idea when TWW1 was released that WoC wouldn't be the only Chaos race in game. Also, in TWW1, all races only had one playable faction (Karl Franz and Gelt started in the same place and had the same campaign, the same for Thorgrim and Ungrim, and the same for Archaon / Sigvald / Kholek) and as a result they were much less thematic (Sigvald was not really Slaanesh little boys / Kholek didn't lead his big guys / Ungrim was barely a slayer king / Gelt was not leading a super magic focused faction) but it wasn't that important (thing changed after King & Warlord DLC with Skarsnik and Belegar having their own faction and thematic). So a character like Sigvald, who could have been kept in reserve for Slaanesh, was therefore "wasted" for the WoC DLC. CA probably doesn't even plan things properly a year in advance and that's why Valkia (literally flying demon) was chosen to be part of Chaos warrior, but Arbaal (angry red dude) was added as part Khorne faction.
>>566598016>>566607046>Do each of them get to recruit mortals devoted to other gods? And if so, that doesn't seem to make much sense to me.It's been age since I played them but iirc, no:Valkia recruit unaligned and Khorne units (+ access to Khorne demons).Festus recruit unaligned and Nurgle units (+ access to Nurgle demons).Vilitch recruit unaligned and Tzeentch units (+ access to zeentch demons)Azazel recruit unaligned and Saanesh units (+ access to Slaanesh demons).Only Archaon / Sigvald / Kholek can recruit from "all colors".Note: The Tzeentch part of Shadows of Change DLC / the Nurgle par of Thrones of Decay DLC / the Khorne part of Omens of Destruction DLC / the Slaanesh part of Tides of Torment DLC add new units also available to the WoC race (according to their gods alignment).>If Festus is a mortal champion of Nurgle, why isn't he with Tamurkhan? Why is Tamurkhan, famous for recruiting a wide variety of mortal races and uniting tribes under one god's banner, not within the Warriors of chaos subfaction?Again, because CA didn't plan thing properly (to be honest, they also have to work with the existing characters created by GW, and there aren't necessarily a lot of them for demons.). Also they did a good job with Tamurkhan, allowing him to recruit units usually not availble for Nurgle with the Chieftains mechanic.
>>566607046wasn't valkia a WoC character though
>>566607205>>566607205Yes, so was Arbaal / Dechala / Tamurkhan / Kayzk / Aekold / Scyla / Skarr / Styrkaar / Sayl / Throgg / Wulfrik / Beorg.All originally WoC characters and yet avaialble to other races in game.
