Thanquol soon, friends!
Buckbreaking all empire chuds until the bone daddy DLC drops!
Reposting my OC from yesterday because we dont get enough original content anymore.
ROMA...DOMVS...
>>567958910VGH...
>>567958814true
>>567958910Or at least it was before Gaivs ruined the RES PVBLICA
How much customization do you think the Imperial Guard will have?
>>567959584Base game? Minimal. It's all gonna be Cadian pattern armors. And the first guard DLC will 100% be Krieg. You'll wait quite some time for your fav regiment.
>>567959584Steel legion stuff for sure. They wouldn't mention them in the teaser otherwise. And no, CA doesn't have to wait for GW to finish tabletop models, art stuff is enough. Some people really should get real, damn.
>>567959584the qeustion is wether they're going to gut modding to sell skins
>>567960052Steel Legion isn't fighting on Armageddons anymore. They were relived by Krieg and Cadian troops.
>June waiting room
>>567959337>Gaivs ruined the RES PVBLICAOptroonmate copePublius Cornelius Scipio Nasica sounded the death knell of the Republic, but you clearly aren't ready for that TRVKE yet
are you supposed to map paint with vampirates or not? just raid coasts? but if you don't clear the land you'll be attacked...
>>567960390yeah. also, what the fuck is the point of a pirate coven?
Blue pill me:How is 40K going to work when we're dealing with weapons that can attack from kilometers away?
>>567960678they won't be able to do that in battles lol
>>567916657>>the Red Duke playing like a twisted version of Bretonnia with his own quests to corrupt the landWhat roster would he have? Bretonnia mixed with Vampire Counts?What units & heroes would he get from each race?
>>567960678Those weapons are going to be clickable abilities just like we have Black Ark abilities in Warhammer or had naval bombardments in FOTS retard-kun.
Guess 'oo's back, back again? Yarrick's back, tell a friend...>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sPzrwzpjXI
>>567960678How do you deal with black ark bombardment or ikkit nukes?
So what am I meant to do if Chaos keeps attacking through the mountain pass where there's no wall to defend? Am I meant to ride out and capture the shitty, uninhabitable Chaos wastes while my army turns to ash?
bros retarded question but its been a while, is there any way to make my dudes attack as a line besides this "melee front" formation button? because it disrupts your intended formation, I just want em to stay in the line I made but attack parallel
>>567960931This is why I use the climate adaptation mod. Sure, it takes 30 turns to adjust a settlement, but at least it eventually stops being shit
>>567960772>zombie peasants>peasant zombies>virgin vampire girl (on an undead unicorn with the horn cut off)>blood grail knights>tribuchet (rotten cow)
Tigers are cool, but I still prefer the normal Cathay factions where you can spam Jade Warriors to your hearts content
>>567960969alt move them and give the attack order shortly before the clash
>>567960969Select the full formations and CTRL+click-drag. It maintains the unit formation. Then you individually assign attack orders while the whole formation is moving
>>567961213>>567961284alright that works i guess thanksI wonder if I can b-line to cathay as this guy I wanna ravage their lands not fight with norsca faggots
>>567960931>So what am I meant to do if Chaos keeps attacking through the mountain pass where there's no wall to defend?thank your lucky stars that they killed off Grimgor for you
>>567961664>they killed off Grimgor for youNo, anon. I did that via ambush and then capitalization. I need to know how to deal with them constantly being annoying and not really being able to push them back permanently without another Chaos faction filling the power vacuum.
>>567959584It'll be Cadians and Steel Legion on launch with the first DLC for IG being Krieg. Although it's worth mentioning that the very first DLC is supposedly Chaos Space Marines
So now we know the calibre of character the Legendary Lords are for 40k, what are the chances we get big names such as the Primarchs, Abaddon or Eldrad? Or will Chapter Masters remain the highest tier of character? Like how the Chaos Gods, Dragon Emperor, Sigmar and The Emperor will never be lords due to CA saying they're too powerful to do justice without breaking the game.
damn tamurkhan was once human? I thought it was like a demon spawn of nurgle
>>567962181He is one of four sons of the ruler of the firat unified human nation.
>>567962084Is Girlyman really too powerful to be an LL? I really only imagine the Emperor himself to be in the "too powerful to play as" category and he's stuck to a chair anyways.
>>567962181Nah he's the mortal lord for Nurgle like how Arbaal and Dechala are the mortal lords for Slaanesh, also Tamurkhan isn't the Plague Ogre, it's the Worm inside the Plague Ogre.
>>567962084Why wouldn't we get them? It's not like Markus Wolfheart and Toddy are on the same level as Teclis, Mazdamoney, or Archaon, but there all still legendary lords.
>>567962256He isn't. He jobs to greater daemons in 1v1 on TT.
>>567962349I'm unfamiliar with the power-scaling of 40k but aren't Primarchs basically gods? You don't see the Gods of Order being playable in WH3.
>>567962296yeah ik i was refering to the maggottransforming from a human into that is wild thoits kinda weird how devoted humans can be to chaos even if you're born in a chaos shithole, can't you see hope in the empire? an all human empire by and for humans that's 10x grander than your shitty chaos village, but I don't think many ex-norscans are in the empire ranks or if the empire would even let em serve, like the roman empire, they had a ton of germans go full romaboo and serve in the legions even in the republic days
>>567962084Sigmar is a LL in End Times. Not as strong as you might think. He's a Malekith with less magical ability when it comes to power level.
>>567962463>You don't see the Gods of Order being playable in WH3.Orion and Ariel, Morghur are all gods bro.
>>567962084I think all of those can show up provided people will care for named characters
FACT: Yarrick will be the IG Advisor and you will still have to play with a literal who black woman as your Legendary Lord.
>>567962479goa'uld?
>>567962753>baitWe already know that there are both custom characters and named charactersCalgar is Ultramarine faction leaderYarrick is Steel Legion faction leaderYou can make your own leader for your own faction Age of Wonders styleThere is no black female LL. It's a custom character. All cover ones are custom leaders
>lords still bugged when assigned an attack order>lords still don't face each other when attackinglet's wait for the update, surely they'll fix it!
>>567962463No. Demi-gods at best. The Cathayn Dragons are basically Primarchs 2.0 since geedubs knows that shit sells.
>tigermen of east getting retconned into Old Ones' prototype murderbots because GW is afraid of the power they would unleash if they essentially confirmed that Skaven have the potential to distance themselves from ChaosGrim.
>>5679631083K is still the peak of Single Entity Combat in Total War even if all of the fighting is matched combat slop
>>567963258Troy did it better.
>>567962479>its kinda weird how devoted humans can be to chaos even if you're born in a chaos shithole, can't you see hope in the empire? an all human empire by and for humans that's 10x grander than your shitty chaos villageMaybe the fuckers in the chaos wastes are like seething 3rd worlders and if they can't have nice things then they want to wreck the nice things others have.
>>567962463ADB is current loremaster and he doesn't like Primarchs like this. He likes that Dorn died to cultists since it's grimdark.
>>567962084Primarchs are straight up playable in the TT, why would they not be in the game? Primarchslop is insanely popular, CA and GW would be beyond stupid to not milk it for years to come.
>>567963340yeah but even then you're bound to get a bunch of houseniggers that wanna go join the 1st worlders instead of their own kin, have there been any loyal to empire norscans in lore? I know kurgans and such are prob way too far gone but norscans can prob be salvaged
>>567963435they just said all loyalist primarchs save for Guilliman and Lion are dead
>>567963160>Grim.Grave, even?
>>567963382ADB is a hack but he's not wrong about this. Lore went down the toilet as soon as they started catering to the superhero fans.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3730309106If you want Bhashiva to be Ogrelike this mod changes all the Tigermen and Women into monstrous infantry
>>567963580And both are playable in the TT. I am also fully convinced we will get a Horus Heresy expansion for TW 40k at some point.
>>567963340The Tamurkhan book is about it actually. They are extremely jealous and also admire the Empire for it's achievements. But Tamurkhan dosen't want to destroy the Empire he likes it how it is now he just wants to replace Sigmar with Nurgle as the state religion.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3727310475And this mod is the spiritual successor to AI General 3 and allows you to put units in your army under AI control, nice for RP, particularly in Order factions where officers and such would be more common.
>>567963781yeah, the two primarchs which always were confirmed to not be outright dead with a room to bring them back and that's itDorn and Russ are already back - as tanksSanguinor replaced Sanguinius
>>567963781Do people actually enjoy TT?.. I played it twice at an LGS with my mates.. we sorta "rented" playtime there and used their armies. We played 40k.It was.. well.. not very good. We all agreed to never do that again.
>>567963997Correct, so I'm saying at the LEAST those two will 100% be playable, probably arriving in an expensive DLC, and they might even do Horus Heresy to sell even more. @567964093No one is talking to you faggot.
>>567962463It really varies. Warhammer isn't that autistic about consistency. A space marine can slaughter an army of humans one time, but then get clapped by a lucky rocket, snipershot or a hail of thorns from an extra-poisonous xenoflora. Custodes, the golden special boys that are a bit like astartes but not really, can take out any regular marine in 1v1 without much issue, a squad of them can put up a good fight against a platoon of marines, but they start getting to get into danger zone. Primarchs have stupid amounts of plot armor, but I think they are almost but not quite as strong to Custodes as Custodes are to marines.
>>567964093You didn't like it because the army you played wasn't your dudes. You had zero emotional investment in them.
when are they making Total War Trench Crusade
>>567964307If I remember right.. I played some space marine army that was heavily equipped with jetpacks.. against my mate, who was playing the green black robots..We had help from the gamestore chief.. I just jetpacked into his lines and mauled him to death.. Was lots of ruler measuring.. which was super whack
>>567964437Trans Crusade is already dead.
>>567964437Never because Trench Crusade is stillborn via their own stupidity and need to make humanity vs hell a morally grey issue
Why is the dlc on mixed ratings?
>>567963876>he just wants to replace Sigmar with Nurgle as the state religion.lmao Imagine what all of the Sigmar-related symbols and sayings could change into.
me on my way for cheese slices from the fridge at 3 AM
>>567964921stop shitting yourself you nasty fag fuck
>>567964921apparently they don't mean harm, they want to hug people
Do you truly believe that Lords of the End Times is going to release before October?
>>567964836Reading the reviews it's people mad at how Bhashiva is surrounded by enemies with underway whilst having no underway herself. Worth mentioning it was positive for the first day.
>>567964521>>567964494>T: got kickedbanned out of their Discord for being unable to not sperg about transgenders for longer than 15 minutesTrench Crusade's main issue is that the lore is still super weak and kinda retarded here and there while still taking itself seriously. Like, there's really no excuse for a mortal to join itself with Hell in that setting and the couple attempts the lore has attempted to explain it has been just cringe-edge.Not that 40k's Horus getting infected with spear poke of "muh demons" is much better.
>>567964962look friendly enough
>>567964984I think that only the Greenskins and that one Dwarf faction have the underway stance.80% of the factions in the mountains are Ogre Kingdoms.
>>567964993I never mentioned trannies bro. Their problem was saying that humanity was as bad or worse than the literal demons from hell.
>>567964993>infectedThe last few books of the Heresy pretty much confirm his soul got replaced by a chaos enity a piece at a time.
>>567965112dont think they ever ever ever said "worse" desu, but its clearly lib-coded with the way that god assists the fuckin muslims with the wall and not the christians, and the whole the church does fucked up shit while the muslim faction is somehow shown as being more moral than the christian states and didnt do nuttin just defendin their land
>>567964984>>567964836they seem to be mad that the tigermen have high upkeep and subpar combat stats.
>>567963997Only Ferrus Manus, Rogal Dorn, and Sanguinius are confirmed 100% dead. The rest went out to get some smokes.
>>567964984Next dlc will let you teleport to and instantly kill any character that underways in one of your territories.
>>567964984>it's people mad at how Bhashiva is surrounded by enemies with underway whilst having no underway herselfThis is true of half the factions in the game lmao
>>567964958not yet
>>567964984Lemme read the reviews myself...read...You are a lying piece of shit.The complaints are>too few new units>uninteresting mechanics>too few units, again
>>567964993The lore needs page one rewrite.Tripped at the starting block with "Durring the first Crusade, the Knights Templar..."
>>567965235>and the whole the church does fucked up shit while the muslim faction is somehow shown as being more moral than the christian statesthe Sultanate's army is entirely made up of slaves and alchemical monsters gifted with exactly enough intelligence to be acutely aware that they're soulless abominations that god hates and will never have an afterlife
>>567965483Looked it up, and it's honestly an easy mistake to make, since while they were not directly part of the first crusade, they were a result of it. However they could have easily just reread their sources because even a basic google search will tell you that the first crusade ended many decades before the order was formed.
rtw1 mechanics question, can anyone help? https://youtu.be/ccGFdB56__Q?si=VLAJcgEZYNSPafEp(you can see the unit card comparisons in the first seconds of the video)so chosen axemen have 18 atk, 6 defchosen swordsmen have 13 atk, 17 def BUTchosen axemen have armor-piercing, which supposedly ignores half of the armor bonuschosen swordsmen have 7 armor, so ignoring half should bring their total defense effectively down by 4, at most, from 17 to 13so it should be 18/6 vs 13/13which means the axemen should be attacking at +5 accuracy, and the swordsmen should be attacking at +7 accuracy. if you factor in the charge the difference would shrink but still favor the swordsmen so ceteris paribus, the swordsmen should win, right?but if you watch the video, the swordsmen get stomped by the axemen every single time. 10 for 10 and it's not close any of those 10 times. what am I missing here?(irrelevant lust-provoking image)
>>567965349Idk all the negative reviews I'm seeing are shitters whining. One of them here is crying they didn't make another campaign you can't lose.
>>567964093Modern 40k is trash since 8th edition. You were born too late.
>>567965941Second review seems fair, her starting next to Zhao makes no sense and she probably should be a horde faction on the face of it.
damn didn't know nurgle had this
>>567965908If you are making alt history you shouldn't be making those mistakes because pendants like me are attracted to the genre and will nitpick it to death.Also cutting out the Americas was lame, there were roving Militia of Mexican peasants led by radical priests in real life it would have adapted to the world of TC really well.
>To be honest, every time my opinion of CA improves, CA proves itself right.>Previously, I didn't care about the lack of life magic and the inability to mass-produce units and groups. Firstly, individual grouping isn't a healthy or strategic gameplay style; secondly, this is a fantasy game with multiple races, and different races need distinct designs and gameplay to improve the game's lifespan and replayability. But now? I can only say that all new units and factions that don't have built-in spell power, resurrection, special protection, immunity to flanking attacks, and fire resistance are garbage. Don't think I'm being extreme; CA themselves made it so in the past few DLCs that they practically mass-produced these stats even for random stray dogs. Back then, everyone lacked these stats, so stacking them was just an endgame strategy for catching Pokémon. Now that others have them and I don't, sorry, it's unplayable.>Okay, now the new DLC for the Tiger Man is a mess, and they've already announced they're nerfing the buffs to the Celestials. All I can say is, haven't you made enough DLCs with inflated P2W stats? The new DLC is barely a day old and you're already saying you're righteously nerfing it for "balance"? Can you stop making fun of your previous DLC's Noshin? You never addressed the massive bugs, and you never optimized the prison mechanics of the Prison factions like the Lizards and the Prisoners. But you're so quick to release nerf patches. What else can I say? I sincerely wish all your future games will be like Bao Si's.
>>567966352appeal to chinks who just want to play cheat factions and this is what you get CA
Did you know that tomb kings, greenskins and dark elves are the only races that don't have a single lord with magic attacks?
>>567966217Just in case you are a new player:Every few turns the cycle progresses and adds new units to your global recruitment pool.You can spend infections to instantly proceed the cycle.Getting Exalted Plaguebearers and Chosen of Nurgle at tier 3 is kind of busted.
At this point I believe that anyone who complains about nerfing needs to be euthanized. Retarded power creep ruins every game nowadays and the second devs try to fix it subhuman chinks shit themselves in fury
>>567966787I just entered this thread and I have literally no idea what is being discussed but I agree(and it isn't only Chinese people)
>>567966787to play devil's advocate, they take a very serious stance on getting stuff "as is advertised", since afaik, last minute patches or changes are not common in asian games and are liable for refunds.
>>567966669I don't play any of those shit factions so I didn't
>>567966708not really new just came back from a year or so hiatus, and first time playing nurglethanks for the tip thoI just made a plague for no reason just for 10% wep dmg and some growth, shoulda just progressed the cycle im playing temurkhan because when i last played cathay this guy was legit unkillable on his mount, like actually he could solo half my army and more by himself, i wonder if he's nerfed or its still like that
>>567966669It is strange that Morathi and Wurrzag don't start with magical attacks.Even Tyrion and Karl Franz start with magical attacks.
>>567967195also waityou can have tier 5-6 military buildings in tier 3 settlements? is this a nurgle thing
>>567966329>pendants like me*pedants
>>567962479I literally look exactly like this
>>567967094Cathay buffs and nerfs are not last minute changes since Cathay has been in the game since launch and that part of the patch is free anyways. More than that, TW Warhammer has been around 10 years now, they should know that balance changes are part of the territory.
>>567967392The main settlement has better military buildings and they increase the unit cap.I think you are looking at the building tier requirement for units.Tier 1 gets you the first 2 cycles, tier 2 gets you the 3-4 cycles and tier 3 gets you the 5-6 cycles.You see that number 3 under the Chosen of Nurgle and 2 Chaos Warriors of Nurgle? That means you need a tier 3 barracks to activate that.
>>567967505They were largely complaining that bhashiva and the tiger men got serious nerfs due to MPfags complaining.
>>567967614>>567967505I don't have the dlc but from what I get, the tigermen got the depth guard treatment and are largely useless for how much they cost.
>>567967474Pederasts*
>>567965935Ew the new embed layout is dogshit
>>567966787The frustration comes from a patch that only has buffs for an already strong faction, with each individual buff obviously too much and all of them together comically broken. Then just turning around and nerfing it all again.The game has actual balance problems. It has actual technical issues that need fixed. Ignoring all of that and wasting time with "we buff everything; we nerf everything" is just treading water. It's handing pointless busywork to an intern so your patch notes have lines of filler to make it look like they aren't fucking empty. It's covering over the fact that you've been paid to achieve sweet fuck all in the weeks and months since the last slew of promises.
>>567967614>and they've already announced they're nerfing the buffs to the CelestialsI was referring to this part of the last review. I will agree with your devil's advocate in the sense that I am also sick of MPniggers completely dictating the balance of the game, even when they're right.
>>567967593so as nurgle you wanna remember to snag your high tier units during cycle 6? or else the next it cycles back to 1 and u have trash units?
>>567967937MP balancing has always been retarded since anyone with half a brain can see that campaign skills, tech trees, no army budgets, and 20 vs 20/40 vs 40 as the standard battle size complete change anything. But I'd much rather MP balancing take over than this retarded powercreep we've been experience. It was getting pretty bad in W2, but it's fucking ridiculous these days.
>>567967947Nah, there's no time window where you have to recruit them. They just get added to your recruitment pool whenever the cycle changes and chill there till you recruit them.
>>567968246ohthought they might do that but then whats the point of the whole system, to make sure you can't recruit too many high tier units at once?
>>567968227>>567967937can't they just change MP cost if something is OP in MP.I don't get why they ever change the stats
>>567968396I don't know why they don't just separate the units into SP and MP versions and then just fully hand over MP balancing to them. They follow all their suggestions anyways. Units are usually strong or weak in SP for completely different reasons than in MP.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH what the fuckI think I pressed something by accident now my camera moves slow as fuck when using WASD what the hell
>>567967483How are you typing this
>>567960052I mean, CA already made two new factions for Warhammer 3, making a "new" regiment for 40k wouldn't be a surprise.GW clearly trusts CA enough to use the game as a direct marketing venue for new minis. Also GW already announced new Steel legion minis, TW40k will release just short of their release on tabletop.
>>567968945Speech-to-text software
>>567968819i alt f4d and now its back to normali guess it was a bug or something? these are my camera settings this is default right
>>567969337Anything to not add HER
>>567969337never knew that miao was so racist
>>567969421I appreciate that they're not going to waste a naval lord on a game without naval combat.
>>567969342can someone thats ingame screenshot that battle camera screen so i can see the defaultsthere's no "default settings" button for the slidersfuck
>>567969526>Meanwhile, just about every other naval-centered character in the setting has already made it in, including a whole naval-centered faction and even creating the first OC LL as a naval-centered faction.
he just like me
>>567969490Miao is the ultimate racisthttps://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1779456106609464.mp4
>>567969702(((marienburger)))
>>567969694This guy was originally part of Mung's DLC.
>>567966118We all as a group, (of 4) just agreed that it takes way too much work, money and physical handling.. we just play magic now. It's just cards you put down. No need for retarded battlemaps with props and measuring distances and all that. And a card says what it does, a mini never says what it is. It feels horribly unintuitive.>>567965941Am not gonna read all of those reviews but I agree that her start position is absolutely awful She should fight Lokhir.. that guy brings tons of ranged units and infantry, perfect for the tigers to maul. Or Snikch.. not large units in ogres and then chaos with even more large units while all tigers are anti infantry.
>>567967270does wuzzag give all savage orcs magic attacks
oh cool they throw pilum before the crash
>>567970016I love him
>>567971602man I kinda hate fighting in these ugly ass chaos wastes with the orange tint can't wait to get to cathay for more pleasant scenery
>>567969337At this point I refuse to believe they will actually add someone requested like the Monkey King or Yinyin, instead we're getting Mung the Mean.
>>567972160The game director did hint at the Monkey King in the Bhashiva stream.
>>567972780Those Goblins can't even see over the walls.
>>567972780such a cool unit
Caught Ghorst in full march. That makes the beginning of my Kugath campaign far less painful.
holy shit tho I rly can't make anything until I spam these + infections buildings everywhereneed infections for everything
>>567974146Yeah Nurgle sucks at the start but curves super hard through the campaign until eventually you're getting thousands of infections every turn.
Do you know what would get my dick harder than any gameplay for 40k?>We regret to inform that Richard Beddow is no longer working with us and for 40k, Jeff Van Dyck will be coming back to lead us into this new phase of total war once more.
LISTEN UP NOOOOBBSArchers behind Spears!!!REMEMBER THAT.. fucking scrubs...
oh hey, great Longmas are tier 4 now.I was complaining about that last time I was playing this game, four months ago.
>>567974518based trve vnderstander

I don't think I've ever actually used goblin wolf chariots (maybe I have but I don't remember it) or orc boar chariots.https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Goblin_Wolf_Chariotshttps://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Orc_Boar_ChariotsAre they worth using? What's a good army build to go with them?
>>567974532We can now continue to complain about dark riders being tier 2 and darkriders with shields being tier 3
>>567974730I ANGRILY kneel..fuck you..I hate you.. I hope you eat penises..fuck u...
>>567974518is pic rel still the most OP strat in every total war ever including WH3?
>>567974856Depends on what kind of army you're using in WH3
>>567974472Its impressive how any music from rome total war mogs beddow's stuff so fucking hardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UApsdueSYQ0So much sovl, so much creativity

Fun Fact: Khorne and Tzeentch Lesser Daemons are DLC whereas the Lesser Daemons for Nurgle and Slaanesh are FLC

>>567975772NOOO STOOP!! MY RITUAL!!!
>>567974472I'm not sure Jeff would be good for 40k, but I would coom buckets if he came back for Medieval 3. Although with all the Latin and Greek choirs used in Medieval 2 maybe he would be good for 40k.
>>567975772>plaguebearers in tamurkhan's army
>>567974825>Dark Riders (Shields)yeah the Yeoman Cavalry sidegrade is a tier 3 unit... I guess Dark Elf players just aren't supposed to want horses in their armiesmaybe they'll reduce the tier of Dragon Princes one day, too.
>>567976136you're not supposed to do that?
>>567976683Look up faction and tamurkhan's buffs, demons get the bench
>>567976770but fuck I can't recruit any humans thoonly shit in my pool is plaguebearers lol

>>567974472literally anybody would be better than Beddow even suno.com would be better than Beddow
>>567977006oh I seeI'll try and make buildings for human units
>>567977006Because you built demon military building instead of mortal one. It doesn't matter that much i guess, plaguebearers are still solid
why is that one Nurgle faction called the Maggoth Kin and not the Maggot Kin
>>567977198im still not quite sure how this recruitment system workssoat the start of every cycle i get this from this building, 1 forsaken and 2 marauders added to global poolif i have two of these buildings through the empire that'll be 2 forsaken and 4 marauders? and they stay in the pool after the cycle endsbut im pretty sure that between cycle 1 and 2 it doesn't give me 2 forsaken/4 marauders but instead just the same 1/2
>>567977592>at the start of every cycle i get this from this building, 1 forsaken and 2 marauders added to global poolyes>if i have two of these buildings through the empire that'll be 2 forsaken and 4 marauders? and they stay in the pool after the cycle endsyes>but im pretty sure that between cycle 1 and 2 it doesn't give me 2 forsaken/4 marauders but instead just the same 1/2not sure what you mean, you exactly the units it shows at the corresponding tier
Whats a good faction outsidr of Khorne for someone that sucks dick at microing
>>567978389HElf. Just stack Lothern Sea Guard.
>>567978389undivided Women of color. Aspiring Champions with research beat any non-SEM unit in 1v1
>>567978389DwarfsNurgleWoCLizardmenCathayHigh Elves if you do the Archers behind a Spearwall instead of all the unique shit like skycutters and lions
>>567978196>not sure what you mean, you exactly the units it shows at the corresponding tierit passed from cycle 1 to cycle 2, and I only had 1 forsaken and 2 marauders in my pool still, not 2 and 4at least I think thats what happened with the demonh building, might be wrong, gonna make the marauder one now
>>567978517Which WoC LL is best at stacking Champions? I have actually been interested in doing a campaign like that for some time, just throw my supersoldiers at everything and pretend it's already 40k TW and I'm playing Custodes.
>>567978389Dorfs HelvesTheir playstyle is just axes in front/spears in front, archers behind
>>567975772this guys the master of ambushes
>>567978780Archaon, like any question regarding the best WoC lord, it's Archaon
>>567977037>Some believe Glottkin(Nurgle) is a shoe inGlottkin is the most important chaos character in the ET. Without them there is literally no ET.
>>567978780Archaon because he gets a stacking 10% research buff for every faction he vassalizes so you can get to the high tier bullshit traits faster by force vassalizing all the minor factions around him
>>567977570A maggoth is a different thingIdk some end times nonsense model. Might see these guys in the end times dlc
>>567977570Maggot Kin is the name for mortal armies of NurgleMaggoth is a nurgle demon steed. And there is only three of them serving as the mounts of Maggoth lords.
>>567978614>instead of all the unique shit like skycutters and lionsno one does thisat best helf players will hire 2-3 rangers in place of spearmen to deal with pesky infantrythen they all troonsition to mass archers, eagle claw bolt throwers and lothern sea guard until they unlock sistahs, phoenix guard and swordmasters
Are you guys still playing your Bhashiva campaigns?
I can't tell if Arbaal is supposed to sound Nordic or Scottish
>>567980384No I already completed it.
>>567980384No I don't buy trash.
I don't like chaos lore wise but the chaos warriors with the fuzzy coats gotta be the most aesthethic melee inf in the game
>>567980384lol
They should have uses his VA in TW3.
>>567980898I like how colorful dynasties' maps are, feel cozy cozy, tho i remember very little environment variety (basically every TW game suffers from this tho desu)
Lorefags, how do Bretonnian Knights stack up to Chosen in combat?
>>567981053Every map has three variants in Dynasties. For a flourishing civilization, a threatened one and the literal end of the world. It mostly changes the skybox and weather effects.
holy shit this guy is painting maps
>>567978984how the hell is the giant frog good at ambushing?
>>567980898>playing Kislev>click random lord>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hM8em4Jga0 but he's doing a Russian accentlol
>>567981947Yeah Grimgor is a massive threat that will eventually have to be dealt with regardless of your chosen faction.

>>567982530eh im not the type to find satisfaction from difficult campaigns I just like watching the battles and the state of the world change regardless of the difficulty, but he is a bit OP i guess, leveled up he's unkillable with the regen thing
>>567982741also playing on normal so ye...
>>567977037>Nagash(Tomb Kings or New Unique Race)He is his own race, "Undead". He even have is own "undead" corruption. He also have a new lore, the "lore of undead" but he probably won't be the only one to have access to it
>>567983340Lore of undeath is a generic lore in ET since the winds of magic got unbound.
How do you get zhao mings support units? The missions don't seem to have any. Also this couldn't be any more dogs of war even if the lord was a dog instead of a cat. Can you even declare war on the iron dragon?
>>567983908there's a little button on the right beneath the unit screen, it lets you increase your unit cap but it's per unit so you need to select the one you want to increase first.
Is there anything more cancerous and tedious in this game than fighting an Eshin stack of gutter runners? Holy fuck what a waste of my life clock.
>>567983908It's random. I'm at turn 50 and I'll gotten are a few halberds and a single fire rocket. You're better off just getting an alliance and recruiting from there.
>1 shots you warlord titan
>>567981690Honestly I wish all the skyboxes were used for every civilization level, or at least some were used for each level. It's kinda absurd to only get overcast skyboxes with crisis and collapse. Maybe the very red skies and the eclipse could be kept for collapse only.
>>567984693onee shotas your what?
>>567983728Yeah maybe (I was thinking about Blue Scribes and Kairos having access to it)

Were it not for Malekith's subversions Khaine-empowered Tyrion would have laid waste to the forces of the Dark Gods and prevented the end of the Warhammer world.
orderly lineup
man would be rly cool to have a town screen even a 2d or 2.5d one where I can see how "great blight trees" even look like but I understand thats too much work for CA or even modders...
can anyone give me a tier list of different lores? Playing Tzeentch have have only really used metal,slaanesh and now tzeentch stuff
>>567982040damn, you are right
>>567984693
>>567974518omg
>>567986849go play attila if you want a big fat UI
>>567988620I wanna see what the cities actually look like either HOMM style with a popup or like in rome 1 where you can go into the maps and see the actual buildings you built as 3d objectsAlso I changed the demons out for people, got a 2nd stack with a herald of nurgle for demons
>>567986849Genuine lost technology, only Rome 1 had that feature. Golden boy Medieval 2 dropped it. Campaign buildings even appearing on the battle map hasn't been a thing since Medieval 2 besides a brief return in 3K.
>>567988905one of the most memorable parts of rome 1 for me was that feature and how fire catapults/arrows let you literally turn the whole city into an inferno where you can burn down almost every single thing, altho im pretty sure attila brought that back at least, haven't played it in ages
horse archers ell emm ayy oww
>>567986042Imagine the smell......
>>567989186Rome 1 didn't have fires dynamically spread from building to building iirc, you could just set individual buildings on fire. You can do the same in Shogun 2 and in Rome 2 you can destroy certain buildings with onagers (but not set them on fire) but it wasn't until Attila that fire became a dynamic thing.

chaos warrior turf war
Man, what a mess. Tiger-chan is barely keeping the iron lizard alive against Vilitch and sneak rat, while I need two stacks to beat one chorf and one last stack needs to guard against treetch. Feels like I won't make any progress.
yeahh I wanted to fight cathayans but there's nothing left but chaos shit and ogres
keeeeeeslev!
Seems like a good mod to keep in mind for more tigermen playthroughs, since it seems they're gonna add all the leftover assetshttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3731019786&searchtext=
???FUCK OFF TZEENCH SCUMIT KEEPS SPREADING AND TANKED MY INCOME IN 5 TURNSfuck
>>567991506There's an actual tigerman mod too; they've added elephants recently. It'll be pretty fun to add it
>>567991748I've thought about it but I think unless they updated it the aesthetics of both clash don't they? I think I'll wait until that mod adds its own lord in Ind and treat them more like the ones that never left the mountains
Is Teclis not shit now?
>>567992178>Is one of the greatest spellcasters in the game not shit now?He never was shit you're just bad
>>567992580>>567992178His campaign is still dogshit, I think that's what anon was reffering to.
kek
>>567992748Tzeentch has so much SOVL
>>567991736what does that do?
>>567993056nurgle n tzeench definitely have way cooler units than slaneesh/khornekhorne is just kinda ok? and slanesh they don't have the balls to show something actually sexy or actually grotesque so its kinda "ok." >>567993162tzeench corruption n shits on ur income what else idk, expensive af to removehope they go away when i kill this vilch shit?
>>567993162
>>567993321seems like it's only positive for any chaos nigger
So fucking tired of these stacks that are impossible to 1v1. I think I'll shelve this campaign soon.

Oh she's still alive

>>567987183beast metal and life are all good
>>567997263uhh can tamurkhan do that? he's nurgle monogod I believe not chaos warriors, but even if I could wouldn't cause it'd impede the map paint
>>567996342She wouldn't stand her up would she? She's coming right? She said she would.
>>567996901Not that I'm aware of. Sound modding in the Warscape games is a complete bitch from what I remember, you probably need to ask around the modding discord.

>>568001146just vassalize the other chaos factions, too?
>>567960931Cathay has a technology that makes you immune to chaos waste attrition (but not chaos corruption) and nullifies the climate penalties for settling the wastes.
>>567998639Gotrek & Felix 1st ok.
Reinstalled. Yep it's time for some KINO conquest. Suppichud is a dead man walking.
Tiger Warriors at turn 1: Adequate performance in battle but quite expensiveTiger Warriors at turn 25: Wow, these guys are fast, durable, and lethalTiger Warriors at turn 50: Yes, my Iron Claws do have 75 melee attack, 85 melee defence, 60 weapon strength and 70 speedAt least Bhashiva isn't outright overpowered from turn 1.

>>568005927i'm not sure what exactly is offputing to me either, maybe the rombus

I'd like to point out once again that the witch elf models in a game from 2006 are infinitely better than the ones in TWWH

W40K will have skyboxes of each planet (not hard to make), no cover system, they will make heavy armoured dudes not take as much ranged damage. it will be the slop of the century because CA are incompetent lazy niggers.>>568014937
>>568014193Why?
>>568015812Cause I'm tired of ugly niggers being made main characters. If you need to add a black person at least make them hot instead of going full uggo mode every single time.
>>568015812>ugly nigger as your postergirllet's not pretend this isn't a bad idea
Cathay has so many great technologies that they can research in the first dozen turns.The Jade Warrior melee defence buffs and the Crossbowmen missile strength upgrades are huge. These units were already good even before the technology boosts.
>>568015737It's already the most advanced and ambitious Total War ever got. It will render all other TW unplayable. It's a savior of Total War series.TWW was just a lazy, dumbed down clone of Rome2 though
>>568013428the machetes still ain't big enough!
>>568016529The only thing that can be said about the ambition of the 40k game is that it's apparently trying to reinvent the strategic map, nothing else so far.
>>568014789So? It's still the same, once you fall to chaos you're done. I suppose a norscan rejecting chaos and worshipping ulric happens, but that doesn't mean the empire would accept him.
>>568016878New EngineCompletely different campaign map with multiple layersCharacter and faction customization and units upgrades advanced as never before Destruction systemUnits with a varied gear within a single unitActual faction variety with hyperelite armies alongside horde factionsLmao, it's all a dream come true, you have to be utterly delusional to think otherwise. Biggest advancement since Empire, bringing back much requested features from Med2 and improving them at that. Doomsisses keep losing every time they try to insult 40k. Like they when they tried to lie armies are smaller than 20 units, which was instantly debunked.
>>568015578>describes every total war after Shogun 2you can work with flanking skirmishers and shock infantry to break the tedious stat trade
>>567959773>And the first guard DLC will 100% be Krieg.
>>568015936>>568016004So nothing that affects important things like gameplay, AI, stability etc.
The DLC for 40k will be more egregious than anything you've ever seen.Besides full DLCs like in TWWH, they will sell "micro DLCs" with two or three units like a "catachan pack" or "krieg pack".
>>568018237so like character packs they are testing now
40k will SAVE Total War trust the plan.20 units per map.
>>568018397Yes, but even smaller. No LL, no faction, no mechanics, just a couple of units from your favorite sub faction.
>>568018184If the devs prioritise being inclusive (and the uggo kind of inclusive no less) it's a pretty good indicator that they've been co-opted by useless retards who can't do their actual job, which means the "important things" are more likely to be bad as well.
>>568012964It's the most expensive dye in the bronze age. You're just poor.
>>568018237>"krieg pack"This was just a reskin for infantry in dawn of war 2 and nothing more.Yes, you had to buy it.
>>56801257040k is clearly the main game project for GW, they're even using it for direct advertisement for 11th edition.

It's so revolutionary that 5 model squads keep causing meltdowns still.Face it, TW40K is already a masterpiece and a savior of TW.

>>568020796>Well, Maliketh, despite coming from a race that remembers grudges for millennia, I choose to forgive you. Even though you are a degenerate elgi who broke the promise you made to me on my deathbed, betrayed and insulted dwarfkind, fabricated a war between our peoples, enslaved my kin, destroyed multiple dwarf holds, and raided dwarf lands without mercy… I guess I will forgive even thought my the whole reason came back to this world was to plant my axe in your skull.
>>568021450I don't doubt they're working on a game I'm just not interested in talking points conjured up by a marketing team trying to sell me a reinvented wheel. Until I see concretely how these elements are implemented into the game I'm not buying into jack shit.
>>568021851Balanced and honest T2 highly spammable frontline infantry
I will save Total War.
>>568022038No need, it's already saved (come june)
>>568021979Max chevrons with the elite red traits on the lord that boost cats isn't really unreasonable to have them beat chosens.
>>568021887
>>568021887>even thought my the whole reason came back to this world was to plant my axe in your skull.That's wrong. The Grombrindal Malekith meets in ET came back to retake Karak Eight Peaks from the goblins according to lore.
>>568021887Malekith is such a great guy that he can cure dawi autism. Besides if he did kill Malekith he would take manlets place as the retard that destroyed the world as Malekith was a incarnate at that point.
What if instead of Shit End Times it's Storm of Chaos in the guise of End Times?
>>568020390>>568020745what mod was this again?
>>568023182GW says End Times will remain canon. Although CA has expressed interest in alt-timelines being explored through WH3.
my campaign map atm as greecemost of my army is near byzantine watching the border with seleuciastill control syracuse and messana, carthaginians control the other half of sicily, romans are letting me keep tarantium atm they just killed gaul and pushing on spainthe illyrians are currently my buffer zone against rome, i was at war with thrace for a while but once i invaded they settled for peaceseleucids at war with everyone around thempretty peaceful rn but at one point everyone was at war with me including rome and carthage
>>568023182GW already has the Old World so there's absolutely no chance for a canon "good" ending
>>568023317Based gw maintaining the integrity of the story against CA's endless greed
>>568023182It's end times but you can stop it
>>568023182Oldfags rejected the planned narrative of Empire becoming a colonial power. That's what was supposed to happen after Empire won SoC btw. Despite what they tell you the chaos wank was supposed to lead into a great chaos loss in SoC.
I hope they put some real elbow grease into 9.0. I'll be so mad if they just drop lotet and a VC rework with no Eternity King, no Middenheim stuff, no Bastion rework(read: make the kurgans more than marauder shitstacks).
>>568021851Your dual axe infantry has the same melee defence as Dwarf Ironbreakers.
>>568023254rtr 1.5 plat
>>568023775They look kind of threatening to fully buffed bladesingers honestly.
>>568022807That's wrong, according to White Dwarf issue 100, the one with Grombrindal in the cover that gave the special anniversary Grombrindal mini, he came back because of Malekith.
Reminder that we've been promised a third and final siege rework between 9.0 and 10.0.Do not forget.Do not let CA weasel out of it.Ass Ladders MUST GO !
>>568023725If DE are supposed to get anything they'll 100% sell it along some character pack instead of giving it out in ET. Same with Marienburg and the bastion. CA has mastered the merchant skill tree.
>>568022038I tried to watch the animated series but it was cheap anime!
>>568024201They're going to stay and you know it.Your literal levitating ghosts are going to continue to just conjure ladders and slowly float upwards along them.
>>568024132Then he's the shittiest grudge settle in the setting. Malekith was traveling all over in the first few centuries after the sundering. He had a million chances to catch him in Cathay or Ind. He was even in Bretonnia at one time irc.
>>568022191>rougelike
Cat Jade armies can be pretty good with the hero and insignias.
I like the way they put an anti-infantry lord in a region that is almost-exclusively filled with large units.
>>568023317Stupid as fuck if true. The way AOS exists there is literally no need for anything in the End Times to happen as it did because every single character that carried over into godhood in AOS was already immortal. So it doesn't matter if the world ends during Franz's reign or 1000 years later.>>568023387They will almost certainly creep the timeline forward over editions. I doubt they'll keep it during Magnus the Pious forever.
>>568024549Yeah, Taoyan buffs Jade Warriors to an absurd degree on top of that. My Bhashiva army is 100% Tiger Warriors but my second army is a Sawai lord for the stalking stance and then Taoyan and Jade Warriors/Crossbows.
>>568024365We're also supposed to believe Alith Anar has spent 7000 years squatting in Malekith's backyard trying to kill him and still hasn't managed to so much as see him.Or on similar situations, Hellebron has spent more than 7000 years trying to kill Morathi, Khalida has spent 3000 years trying to kill Neferata, Aislinn has spent hundreds of years trying to kill Lokhir, half the Tomb Kings have spent 3000 years trying to kill Arkhan, Morghur has been trying to corrupt Ariel and the tree for 2000 years... and a long etc.And there's even more situations now thanks to CA including so many LLs in the game, such as Eltharion has spent hundreds of years trying to kill Grom.
>>568016529>Empire was a steaming pile of garbage>Rome 2 was complete dog shit>I'm sure this hyper ambitious project while go great
>>568023953
>>568024830>Sniggers proceeds to kill Valten in like a single evening, a demi-god who was like 30 years old.Fuck, got to hand it to those rats.
Craft wars are based when it's my craft that's winning
>>568025098*Space craft
I’ll personally endtimes total war myself the moment it gets implemented. I’ll fuck its core to ejaculation over and over.
>>568024830Aleaf actually attacked Malekith on many occasions. He's just a natural jobber. Hellebron has never raised her hand against Morathi. Khalida is sleeping more in a tomb than hunting Neferata. Aislinn has jobber genes so it's natural that he can't do anything. Morghur only attacks once every few centuries because getting to Athel Loren is a actual problem for his insane mind.
>>568025412Yeah and Grombrindal is quite literally on the other side of the world from where Malekith usually is and isn't omniscient enough to know when he's traveling abroad.
>>568024743There's *some* things that need to happen, e.g. slaanesh eating the elven souls in the end is pretty important for the aos elf factions (and there's like five of them)But overall yeah the end times barely matter in aos ironically
Playing my Nagash campaignUnlock Mannfred as a MortarchClick him"Nagash was weak, witness true power"What am I supposed to do in this situation?
>>568025057He was murdered when lying in a coma. Rats are pathetic actually.
>>568025648Replace lord and leave him seething in the lord pool for the rest of the campaign. That'll teach him to shittalk his boss.
>>568025583Grombrindal doesn't travel on foot he can appear instantly in the place a grudge needs settling. He even travels through the chaos realms to chase daemons to settle grudges but couldn't be assed to attack Malekith when he was trapped in the chaos realm for 500 years. So he's either incompetent OR he never wanted to kill Malekith in the first place.
>>568024498gonna be honest, what the fuck is a rts roguelike going to play like?what else are they going to do next? make it a deck builder too?
>>568025648Nagash is a jobber in ET. He gets obliterated by Nurgle then rats and runs away to the elves to make a alliance because he got de-powered into nothing. Manlet never lost his power to a rat.
>>568025648>as a Mortarch
>>568025851Grombrindal just pulls Batmans on people, dude. The multiple stories there are of him rescuing groups of dwarfs still show him needing to get there or travel with them, he just knows how to leave and be all mysterious. If he could just teleport around and knew of every single dwarf in need of help, literally no dwarf would ever lose a battle in the whole world.
>>568026145Grombrindal isn't a living being he's the most powerful ancestor spirit still around. Snorri actually died.
>>568025851>So he's either incompetentIt's Warhammer lore so yes.
>>568026270You don't know that because he's a unique case that's never been explained. They call him the living ancestor but that doesn't mean anything in terms of the logistics of how his body works.
>>568026391Snorri is quite literally a son of a god.
>>568025623That could also happen at any point in time and through pretty much any series of events. Literally the only things that strictly need to happen are >certain characters are alive at the end so they can transition into AOS>Archaon is the Everchosen who destroys the worldBoth can happen at any point because literally every character needed is immortal or deathless AND Archaon has all the time in the world to succeed in a Chaos invasion. As long as he doesn't die in a failed one he can always regroup and try again later. And Chaos invasions only happen once every couple hundred years anyway. So he could even succeed on the second try and not be laughingstock like Failbaddon the Armless
>>568026531Then why did you just try to convince me with the argument that he died?
>>568026610>As long as he doesn't die in a failed oneArchaon has died, like, a fucking dozen times. Usually trying to kill himself. That's not really a factor.
>>568026610He already is a laughingstock. Best thing to do would be continue the story from The Old World and then just introduce new characters and run an alternate timeline.
>>568026707Because dawi gods were all mortal too. They passed away into being ancestor spirits after death. But so much time has passed since their death they don't communicate with the living anymore and Snorri was the pure blooded child of said gods. His sons were just normal dawi.
So I've never actually used the save character feature before until now. I saved a character and started a fresh campaign but I've noticed that when I load the character, they don't get any of their level ups. Is this a bug or do you have to level them up normally once to get all their skills at once?
>>568025950it basically is a rougelike deckbuilder on the surface, the gameplay is atleast better than calculate for maximum damage
>>568026971Your LL has to be the same level as the saved character irc. Otherwise the only thing that gets imported is the model and trait.
>Tamurkhan can recruit Dreadquake Mortars faster than actual Chaos Dwarves canI knew ToD was a P2W DLC but holy shit this is fucking ridiculous
>>568004997>Yes, my Iron Claws do have 75 melee attack, 85 melee defence, 60 weapon strength and 70 speedChosen(furries)
>>568026971lmao you don't just get a level 50 character at the start. It only keeps their names and traits. Mostly it was use to eliminate some of the starting RNG for certain factions on replay, since some lord and hero traits are far better than others within the same faction.
CA, if you're reading this... please don't abandon Total War: Warhammer 3 after the End Times.There is still so much more left to explore!
>>568026942>>568026270So is it Grombrindal or Snorri? You can't even get your narrative straight dude while also trying to dictate what the lore is against what's actually presented, aka. that Grombrindal needs to actually fucking travel and hear of dwarfs in need of help to do his thing.
>>568027152>>568026971The save feature is only really good for getting exalted demons early. You probably forgot because nobody plays monogod.
>>568027161The radius timeline
CA if you are reading this drop support after ET and move the people to 40k. We are done with Fantasy and we don't want sloppy TOW trash in it.
>>568027370kek cheaters won
>>568027314It's Grombrindal(Snorri). He only gets confirmed to actually be Snorri when Malekith recognizes him in ET.
>"Frontline holding for more than five seconds? Ve don't do zis IN ZE EMPIRE!">"Heroes capable of beating enemy champions in melee? Ve don't do zat IN ZE EMPIRE!">"Monstrous Infantry??? Ve don't do any of zose IN ZE EMPIRE!"
>>568027390Rome 2 is still slated for updates. Warhammer fantasy will probably receive the same long term support. There is also a Shogun 2 update in the works, but it is basically a remaster level update.
>>568027864Empire sounds based. I think I'll play that instead of Napoleon.
>>568027216>>568027315I guess I didn't explain well enough. I actually don't care at all about the levels, in fact, I was hoping they would go to the pool at level 1. I only started saving because this trait that gives +75% exp gain is clearly head and shoulders above 90% of the traits in this game and I wanted them for future campaigns. But it seems when I recruit them I don't get any of the skill points retroactively which seems really odd.
>>568027864>Why do you not have a professional army?>Why do you not have Colleges of Magic?Those are actually very valid questions tougheverbeit.
>>568027965>Rome 2 is still slated for updates.They are porting Pharaoh armor and flanking formulas and some campaign landscape textures from Troy and Pharaoh. And a few building trees are getting streamlined. That's the extent of the changes.
>>568027864>why no kingwhich faction doesn't have a one man (or woman) at the top>why no help the dwarveshelping the stunties is objectively correct for any order faction
>>568027864>"Monstrous Infantry??? Ve don't do any of zose IN ZE EMPIRE!"But monstrous cavalry is ok
>>568028053Find one at level 1 and then save them.
>>568029883>which faction doesn't have a one man (or woman) at the topRome obeys the will of the senate and the people.
>>568030275i heard some gaius iulius caesar is the new big shot
any good bhashiva art yet?
any good mods to make it so i dont eventually need to fight lizard stacks with 8+ ancient stegadons per stack in the endgame? kinda annoying.also, why do a lot of factions near the endgame just stack like 8+ armies on top of a single settlement and just.. sit there? any way to get them to actually do stuff? playing on vh/vh btw.
>>568031440I'm sure there is some ai slop out there. People that play cathay love that kind of thing.
>>568031729liggers don't seem to survive for very long in any of my campaigns
>>568031729Use unit caps, it forces the AI to build reasonable armies. This includes you too.
>>568031729Table Top caps or whatever it's called. Limits Special and Rare (based on Table Top) types to 10 and 5 per army (with some units being worth double). So it's not complete Spearmanii spam, but it contains the spam a fair bit.
Big killy
I'm honestly not having many problems with the campaign. You just have to take it slow and plan your expansion out of the mountains slowly. Turn 45 and I'm still stuck in there but I'm also playing super safe since everything wants to rape me.
>>568031954i mean im playing tomb kangs so i already got a cap loli turned off endtimes scenarios because they're too easy to win imo, unfortunately my faction doesnt have an actual ultimate campaign victory that isnt map painting so i gotta kill everyone igi got into a brief scuffle with gor-rok and sent an agent to see what i'd be up against and he had like 10 armies just chilling on his capital + 4 doomstacks just wandering his territoryas an aside, why the fuck is there no victory scenario for arkhan that involves getting all the books of nagash?
Biggest battle of my camapign so far as well which would have resulted in a decisive defeat if I auto resolved it. The tigermen are a very good early game counter to chaos. A lot of people say the tigermen units are useless but for early game they carry hard if you have the economy to make them.
>>568032330Once the chorf reach critical mass and the dragons are gone, things ramp up quite a bité
>>568032549those people probably aren't playing as the literal tigermen faction, I pretty much use those guys for most of my armies(+the mod that restores the cut ones) and it feels good
>>568032632I've been playing diplomacy with them and they are all pretty happy with me. I even got astragoth to declare war on kholek to act a distraction since there's really no reason for me to make settlements out of many of the northern regions. The ai is very easy to manipulate if you just trade settlements to them. Having security in the north is worth much more minor increase in economy. I can probably even get them to declare war on other chaos dwarves if I keep going at it.
Achieved a long victory as Tyrion and now i'm going to bed. Today was a good day! I want a change of pace so I think tomorrow i'll play some form of monogod or maybe a Beastman.
>>568033141Malagor is a fun combat lord, and not as broken as Taurox. Stacking leadership debuffs is hilarious.
>>568033496NTA but I always feel like playing Morghur because his fighting style seems so unique, but he buffs chaos spawn and I just can't stand those and much less in a faction that has minotaurs.
>>568033991with khazrak you play an ambush monster and his chariots send infantry flying to morslieb, i can't get enough of that
>>568033991I like that Malagor doesn't really focus on a specific unit (harpies get a buff but that's it) so you're armies are very flexible.
>>568033141Beastmen are kinda...unique.
>>568035009I see Warhammer is returning to it's Runequest routes. Good.
Serious question here, why does everybody want the Monkey King so badly?
>>568035828Reject Tigerjeet. Return to monke
Damn, cat completely mogged that snake.
>>568035828It's like asking why would people want King Arthur for Bretonnia. It's Sun Wukong. Plus he rebels against Cathay so would be nice to have a plays against type lord like Arkhan. Not enough factions have them.
>>568035828I don't know, between the dragons, the crow men, and the tiger men some people really want half of Grand Cathay's roster to be furries for some reason.
how do i stop sucking
>>568036778ask your boyfriend, he won't be mad you can suck another day
>>568028857So as I said. Rome 2 is getting updates.
>>568036778What game? What faction? What difficulty?
>>568036330It's almost like that side of the world is known for having unique types of ''beastmen"
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3731705553It's up.>spent all day on a mod for RoCYes, I'm a retard, I know.
That was pure fucking cancer. I fucking hate chorf, even all vanguard wasn't enough. Ambushes really are the only way to handle them.
>>568040036ZOOOLAHOOOOOO!
>>567958547Been playing TWW1 again due to 10th anniversary - is it just me or the AI got dumbed down after the first game?
>>568040036CHOOCHOO
Cygors may be shit, but summoning 5 of them onto the battlefield is hilarious.
>Reduce Daniel down to a single unit of bloodletters.>He suicides my fully garrisoned minor settlement>Make a rampart in his way and hold garrisoned men back.>He breaks through>Switch on fire at will>Dies in seconds and is now a red puddle on the ground.blood for the blood chud amirite?
>>568037368warhammer 3, zhao ming, defaultthis is my first campaign in this gametried going into the chaos realm and got my anus promptly gaped
I just realized that Clan Mors and the Dragon elf are gonna be Nagash's first victims every campaign.
>>568043317Just play Immortal Empires dude. The campaigns suck.
>>568040036>Recruit an entire army of tigers>Put the fat fuck instead of the Tiger who boosts them as the lord
>>568035009Rakarrrrath we need you!!!!
>>568044696Saiwi don't boost tigers that much; the three red lines are all you need. Balloon guy gives your entire army vanguard, which is very nice with tigers.
whatlol
>>568045650No hero = lose
>>568046013I hope you mean lord, but, yeah idkI couldn't win that manually but auto resolve was like"yeah you got it" (the armored kossars die, but, still)
Will they ever improve the campaign map AI? Like why will the AI suicide rush a random settlement if your legendary lord is just a bit out of the way? They'll sack it then sit there and just die because they can't flee far enough.Is it some kind of "just make the player have less fun" mechanic? They should be falling back and recruiting more troops, linking with another army, or going towards a friendly settlement. But they'll suicide rush deep into your territories all the time, so garrison buildings are almost necessary.
>>568046338lol no.
>>568046409Unfortunate. The AI, with their buffs, would be a legitimate threat if they weren't criminally retarded.
>>568046198Hero, lord, same same in this context.
>>568047303I supposebut I don't know if any other faction could have a like level 8 lord (only like 1 or 2 skill points in the yellow tree) with a random useless green item and a 3/4 stack of a single t2 unit would win against an 8 unit garrison
>>567958547Total war?
>dlc doesn't get a saleI guess I won't buy it day 1 then.>>567959584How much DLC are you willing to buy>>567961842>>567960052>catachan DLC>tanith DLC>Vostroya DLC>Valhalan DLC>tallarn DLC>Attilan DLC>Elysian DLC>TS DLC>Imperial Navy DLC>Glup Shitto DLCIf there's a monetizable cliffs notes regiment, there's a way
Also forgot the Mordians, another Krieg clone.>>568000523GW only has 3D models for Krieg and Cadia and didn't bother to recolour Krieg to be Steel Legion and then gave a dismissive answer about 90% of them being killed and cadians and kriegers being shipped in from offworld to relieve Armageddon as the new war for the War World begins due to Orks deciding they want another go at it.This caused a lot of screaming from steel legion fans online so GW retconned their retcon and promised Eventually (TM) they would get a new plastic release.
>>567960678Just like how the tabletop works when it's a game designed for small infantry combat but you have jetfighters and titan-sized units like Stompas and Lord of Skulls running around. Very poorly.
>>567916067Those would be easy to make so instead CA will drop the idea after Nagash is released and never revisit it.
>>567962084>>567965246>>567964093Reminder that the Sanguinor is literally a psychic manifestation of Sanguinius and therefore he is on tabletop.
>>568051938Monk is coming out for sure and I'd say the same for Marienburg, dunnno about anything pasttthat
>>567962463In the lore Angron can slaughter a million guys by farting very angrily and Perturabo is the size of a titan and took over cadia from the black legion by being a petty dick and stepping on themOn the tabletop primarchs (sanguinor is basically a primarch look it up) and primarch level guys can basically get taken out by a lucky squig with a bomb attached to it.
>>568051548I'll pay for a thousand IG glup shitto DLC before I play even a single Eldar campaign.
>>568051698>Also forgot the Mordians, another Krieg clone.Aren't the Mordians parade dress. Also there's no Krieg clones, since they're, including Kriggers, clones of the Steel Legion.
>>567963876tamurkhan is naive like his father, who was cast down by chaos because chaos didn't like the idea of a Chaos Empire stretching across the steppe with great chaos cities. The chaos gods are gods of niggatry who bring everything to ruin.
>>568052308yes but the krieg basically replaced steel legion in the normalfag redditor guardfag mindspace.
>>568011765Yes and the free Hero.
>>568046338The AI works on very simple parameters because any decisionmaking more substantive would take a lot of performance resources away from rendering the stupid map graphics. Its rules are basically >check what's within range>if I can beat it, attack>if I can't beat it, run awayWhich unintentionally leads to rat behaviour because it can't think ahead to what might be in range a turn from now and so just runs away from your armies and suicidally snipes settlements.
>>568054076Makes sense. Just so annoying to actually play against...
>>568035828I want him to destroy Cathay.
>>568055341Monke just wants a hug
>>568055707
>>568024743>muh Karl franzWhy are so many people obsessed with this cardboard "character"?
>>568055341Judging by the voice line he is much more akin to wukong which means he mocks the immortals (dragons) and actively annoys them
>>568056353Same comic book shit that's taken over 40k.
>>568056353He's not made of cardboard. More like a tin substance.
Why the fuck didn't GW keep dark elf 6e edition look? It's by far the best
>>568059158Thankfully mods exist to remove that 8th shit from the Dark Elves.
My preferred Fantasy capeshit is WARRIOR KING.
>>568059158oh and why aren't black arks floating cities with proper siege map?

>>567958814
Is "Lileath" pronounced lil-eeth or lil-ee-ath?
>>568059158They probably figured it resembles drukharii too much
>>568063453Depends if your accent is Caledorian or if you are a hillybilly fuck from Cothique.
>>568062732If you pause the end turn, an option pops up to speed up the movements for neutral/ally/enemy factions. I always set mine to fastest on turn 1
>>568064238Well shit, that does make sense. Bravo CA. Cheers anon.
>>568052229This but the inverse
>>568040036I actually think this is actually the most AIDS stack I've ever seen the AI recruit. Do you have mods on that affect AI recruitment?
>>568064442Based
>>568064512Nope. This is how chorf operate now
>>568064702ENTER
The Changeling is so fucking cancer man. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>568064512>Faction is specifically designed to have army caps>AI just goes lmao trains motherfuckerWorse than the Empire being a Skirmish Cav SEU unit faction as far as the AI is concerned.Abandoning Med 2's recruitment system was a mistake.
>Ah yes, this is a sensible place for my reinforcements to spawn from.The fucking procedurally generated maps from the old games were better than this shit.
>>568065948you can click and drag the icon to change where the reinforcements come from at least
>>568066058I know that anon, but guess what that delays them by a minute.
>>568046338>Is it some kind of "just make the player have less fun" mechanic?The AI's primary directive in these games is to inconvenience the player at all costs. This applies to enemies and 'allies' alike.
>>568065948Pussy
>>568035009
>>568056353In this context he's handy as a way to refer to the "current day" of the warhammer timeline

Realm of chaos is so trash. Was it always this bad?
>>568074279Welcome new fren.It was way worse.. waaaayyyy worse
>>568056353the only people who hate franz are people mad that their shitty dime a dozen edgy lord isn't as popular
>Maps are too small and units suck at running down other units>Enemy will pretty much always have some survivors from the battle>AI force marches 3 more stacks out of the fog of war and can start a new battle using the survivors from the last battleEvery fucking time.
mazdamundi vortex campaign in warhammer 2 is kind of good. Much better story than realm of chaos, and graphics are nicer and more colorful. very fun game to revisit
>>568074527Vortex was kind of shit, but the map was nice and it wasn't complete cancer like RoC.
>>568074597yeah I just don't like the sandbox campaigns very much, no goal to pursue other than map painting.
>>568074726The flow the campaign kind of sucks in 2 and especially 3. 1 was a lot better, although only at the end.
>>568074527Mazdamundi sfo is a good reason to return to II since they couldn't import Star Reading into the third game.
>>568074809wtf is star reading?
>>568074518>units suck at running down other unitsDidn't Madison create a mod that fixed this?
>>568075149oh you mean the mod SFO

>>568075618ur mom
Why the FUCK are these niggers here?
>>568074279>1/3 of the map are uninhabitable Realms of Chaos, with no regions to conquer or actual factions in them and only accessible once through forced story portals just to do story related gimmick. Which on it's own is retarded AoStier faggotry, letting you hop between 4 varieties of hell and talk with gods as if it was nothing>Another 1/3 are Chaos Wastes which are obviously only for chaosfags to live in>last 1/3 are absurdly deformed and stretched order lands due to that weird map projection, which don't even do justice to playable Kislev and Cathay, let alone factions further away. Nothing cool to destroy for chaosfags even, let alone to play as orderfags.It sucks for everyone. It's a map designed to only work with story mode, but story sucks. If you disable story you cut off 1/3 of a map and are just stuck in that mangled world.Releasing IE as a base game mode was the best decision they could ever do. Without it TWW3 would be dead as it functionally didn't have a campaign map given how garbage RoC was.

>>568075892warhammer 2 vortex has defined areas/continents where each faction has to conquer, except for skaven, while warhammer 3 realm of chaos map is a giant blob.

>>568013428
>>568046338The campaign map is just too small and crowded for AI to function properly. In Old World mod where distances between settlements are longer and factions typically hold 10-20 settlements instead of 2-4 it works much better. There AI wont do silly "deep-dive" suicide rushes because those non-frontier towns are 5+ turns away instead of one turn of force march + attack. Similarly it has enough time and resources to mount at least an illusion of defence: when attacked, it starts recruiting on the town next to your border AND in their capital far away, so by the time you reach the capital they'll have another full stack defending it (and possibly one that they already sent to defend against you). You cant just go with usual snowball strategy of "kill their main army, roll over their settlements for free in 5 turns". Similarly you have to watch your borders a lot more closely instead of just going hyperaggro, because that neighbor on the other end of your empire isnt just 3 turns away but 10+: its often more valuable to make peace early and negotiate money compensation instead of pushing 8 turns deep into enemy territory, leading your back exposed.
>>568076383>300160*
>>568077370>the strongest lord in the game is pretty goodHmmm
>>568077820>Zhao gives you quest to kill...ogres, his best palsThey are only "best pals" in the fanfiction that spawned yin yin as a aqua clone. This is what happens when absolute secondaries attach to something and try to twist it into their own image instead.
>>568078281Nigga hes canonically on good terms with the lardass ogre king, and he get in-game bonuses ton recruit ogrebros
>>568077820Might as well say Malekith is a friend of the Ogres because dark elves import them to die fighting chaos for them.
>>568078362Yeah and in TW Empire has diplomatic bonuses with Bretonnia while in the lore Empire is scheming 24/7 how to kill every single Bretonnian in existence.
I wish they reskinned cathay peasants, the new minis are so cool
>>568060626Based. Same here.

>>568079765In battle yes.
>>568075845Why does druchii army have chaos units?
>>568079843Rogue armies, cutie. They can recruit all units, are horde factions and usually have a theme. Vashnaar dragon maxes and the Pyro school runs 15 steam tanks
>click diplomacy>*WHO CALLS*..
>>568079843Vashnaar was a chaos worshipping elf that dabbed on liggers and burned Lustria untill Mazdamundi and Kroq Gar united to kill him.

>>568080371the 100 armor is pretty cool but they lack base stats.

don't..
ZHAO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
>>568035009God I wish mods were real..
>>568035009>Questing Centigors
this is bonkers
>>568075845lmao it almost never happens but it's hilarious if he starts empire building. Gets Chosen and Black Dragons in his garrisons.
There are so few Chaos Dwarf factions in the game and they are all concentrated in the Darklands and Eastern Chaos Wastes.Just kill them all before turn 50 and you are fine.
>>568009727yeah but what do you consider falling to chaosbeing born and raised in a norscan village and reluctantly "Trusting" in whatever chaos god rebrand ur village is pledged to, is that falling to chaos? then when u reach the empire u could renounce ur bum ways and start worshipping sigmar or whatever, I can see that happening, idk though, is there not a single norscan/other chaos aligned human that defected to the empire in lore?
>>568082481btw way I understood it is that kurgans and the like are the ones that are hardcore into chaos worship and norscans are more loosely aligned and the average norscan has the rebranded local diety but they don't actually do stuff like actively kill for chaos or mutilate themselves, they're just yknow raider vikings cause they live in shitholes
>>568082792Correct. The more southerly Norsca aren't that different from Nordlanders, except they like to raid and pillage as much as trade. The ones closer to the Chaos Wastes are much more likely to be just straight up Chaos worshipers.
>>568083114>The more southerly Norsca aren't that different from Nordlanders, except they like to raid and pillage as much as trade.Don't some of them also worship Ulric?
>>568083114so how come there aren't any "Loyalist" norscansmaybe I'm drawing too many paralels with real history though but tons of vikings got christianized irl and integrated into france HRE britain etc even made their own well known countriesa pro empire norscan would be a kinda cool LL
>>568081757that's cute
God damn it YinYin..All u had to do is not die to liggers.
haha very harmonic razing, sacking and looting
>>568083748Because a lot of the nuance of the setting as been stripped out to make the game. Hell a lot of it was getting removed towards the end of Warhammer's life anyway. Same with the Southern Realms, which are thriving civilisations in the lore but are barely worth mentioning in Total War. Even after they add the Dogs of War, there will barely be any map there to play with.
>order artillery to shoot at enemy>it doesn't and starts shooting at literal cannon fodder instead>order unit with extremely high mass to push through weak enemy infantry to attack something behind it>it gets stuck on a handful of goblins until it forgets the order and stands there I love video games

>>568086716Nah he just waits till the siege auto wins. The AI loves doing that.>>568086880Don't
Any miao ying mod recommendations?
>>568086992Aislinn made Kairos more frustrating to play, objectively. However what you should have done is given the slannies a settlement then got it back using the changing of fates, using the diplo bonus to force a defensive alliance so they can block Aislinn and Teclis from being nuisances while you focus on the liggers. Once the liggers were wipped off the southern wastes you would then go back and fuck up the long eared cock sleeves. Then once you've secured a place for the children of tzeentch on their homeland betray the purple fucks and take their land as well. Or keep them just to get allied units from later, slanny cav hits harder than tzeentch cav so they can be quite useful.

Really important.So that leaves us with "lords and heroes with resist gear", as if AI could do either intentionally. A whole nothingburger there. But sure, lets shit our pants and complain, that makes sense.
>>568035009Show me that Morathi
>>568085662June 7th.
>>568088550Okay, I'm very neutral on Cathay honestly.>>568088707Okay...>>568088709Sad. Does she at least make cat or tiger related puns once in a while?
>>568089181I was never talking about cathay having it. I was talking about magic attacks being good against those
>>568089184that's my birthday :)
>>568088838many such cases
I assume this is the strongest spellbut I like big flashy explosions boom boom on the enemies so gonna focus on the boil
>>568089181there's also the snek lady
>>568089220Well sure it is good against those, but as you surely know this buff is ONLY AVAILABLE TO Cathay. Like sure I could complain about "Karl Franz gets +200 AP for entire army against Cathay", but that'd be retarded - you dont care about Cathay until after the game is essentially over. Just as vamps/dawi dont care until game is essentially over already.
>>568089298Nice, I hope that you enjoy your day and remember that we will be having a celebration party waiting for you on /twg/.Even on birthdays... there can only be war.
>>568088437Dogshit, as with all Cathay content.
>>568089492That's one of the best spells in the period. It makes Nurgle units immortal and is limited in use in mp due to that.
>>567969526>Alberic>Lokhir>entire vampire coast>that helf admiralWhy stop now?
>>568088707uwu
Wow, that was very rude.
>>568089492If you can blob up enemies, big nukes are pretty much always the best option. instantly removing 2-3 enemies has much larger impact than keeping one guy fighting for a bit longer. Doubly so since it makes Army Loss debuff kick in that much sooner.
>>568089219their visual design is the worst. there is so much inspiration for them to design a cool looking unit and this shit is what they decided on? puke. they look fun to play doe, like fast shredders
finally fighting in cathay so the battle maps are a bit more pleasant than the chaos wastesi really hate fightin in the wastes just due to how bleak the maps look, yeah thats the point but... tzeench maps are alright tho, pretty cool
>>568090274I look like this
>>568090369You are truly blessed my friend.
>>568083748At that point the threat of the north would feel pretty well countered, the whole point of Norsca is that it's habitable enough for people to live there so that Chaos Warriors have a fighting stock to pull from
