>>568617869One of the main problems with Warhammer has been that due to diplomacy being decided beforehand, every campaign is just the same flowchart over and over again.

https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/549807376/#q549814468https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/549819797/#q549832139A dozen of /twg/'s Star Wars posters remained.They were the only survivors of the Total War: 40K announcement trailer and they had gathered in the beginning of the new thread. Jedifags, Sithniggers and even a few lost looking Ahsoka simps. Anon noticed that there were no droid posters in their numbers, thinking that perhaps a few had survived the Primarchposting in the last thread, but knowing that they might as well have been on the other side of /vg/. This was the end. They all knew it. But none of them gave voice to that fact. He knew all their names now. Before, they had just been grime-streaked faces among the endless days and nights of shitposting. But now they were brothers. Anons he would die with, in honour. Flashes of the Emperor lit up the thread, Boreale posts punched across the page, scorching holes through which the incoming T'au spam could be seen. The Farseer AI art rained down on the thread, in time to watch /twg/ die. "Did we hurt them, Anon?", asked a Reyposter, "Did this mean anything?" Anon thought for a moment before replying. "Yes", He said. "We hurt them here. They'll remember this." An image of the Blood Angels pre-order bonus slammed into the thread, finally blasting what little remained of its Leiaposts into piles of ashes and dead dreams. The Star Wars posters did not throw themselves into cover, or run for shelter. There was little point. The 40Kfags were taking over /twg/, and they were thorough. They would not let Vader be posted again. Walls of mocking posts bloomed all across the thread, closing in on them with smug inevitability. The battle for /twg/, was over...
>>568619574>I could be killing Orlesians right now but the king wants me killing goblins. I hate the french so much its unreal.
>>568619668NECKBEARDS GATHERED IN THEIR MASSES....
>>568619668Total Star Wars comes after 40k. Lucas will buy back the rights and set everything right once again. Trvst the plan.
the SW thing was so stupid lmao
>>568619668I am several of the posts in that image and I knew the whole time 40k was coming AND wanted it.
The irony is that TW's dogshit ranged combat mechanics actually do fit Star Wars' "stand around in lines and attempt to shoot at the enemy" Flash Gordon-esque warfare.40k demands proper squads, trench warfare, smooth transitions between melee and ranged combat, good siege mechanics, and complex campaign mechanics that take into account the intricacies of how planets in 40k settings can often be held by multiple factions at once (particular genestealers and Orks) - all of which could benefit future TW games in general, historical especially.But no. Instead we're getting IG line infantry, and when you click on them they might as well shout "handgunners".
>>568620674>40k settings can often be held by multiple factions at once (particular genestealers and Orks)yeah its called orc/genestealer corruption percentage
>>568620674>and when you click on them they might as well shout "handgunners".This is going on my bingo card.Free Space: Broken pre-order DLC faction
>>568620674>how planets in 40k settings can often be held by multiple factions at once (particular genestealers and Orks)that's gonna represented by corruption and you know it
>>568621110>>568620848But that's a half-baked mechanic in and of itself that's just religion from the historical games but with a "it gives attrition" effect lazily thrown in. And religion itself was always a whatever mechanic.This is CA's problem. Their lack of innovation compounds upon itself.
>>568617401>lonely skinkNeeds a hug
>>568620674>The irony is that TW's dogshit ranged combat mechanics actually do fit Star Wars' "stand around in lines and attempt to shoot at the enemy" Flash Gordon-esque warfare.This only ever happened on Geonosis. Hoth was trench warfare and most of the other battles were squad based or insurgency style warfare.
>>568621305I like corruption because it paints the map in my color. I dont know what the effects do most of the time.
>>568618028>due to diplomacy being decided beforehandWhat do you mean by this?The aversions races have to each other?
>>568621486Erm, your battle of Naboo?
>>568621531That's probably its best effect, changing the campaign map. But even so religion/corruption should really just do more. Have an effect on the economy, what units you can recruit, siege battles. Anything.
>>568621305i meain in the case of 40k they'll tack on some mechanic like % chance of an orc stack or a city going full nid per % treshhold of corruption and be done with itit serves its gameplay purpose idk what u expect from an indie studio making a super ambitious game, it just has to be functional to pass
>>5686217121/3 of it was insurgency style urban warfare and that plus the space battle were the important parts. The gungans were bait and also not given guns for some reason.
>>568621486It happens in just about any scene with Stormtroopers in it. The big exception is Hoth, which is a great battle scene.
>>568621982Doesnt change the fact that the Trade Federation was deploying massed line infantry against the gungans.
>>568622161Then you can add "1/3 of the battle of Naboo" to Geonosis, doesn't dramatically change my point. Sure Star Wars has huge line battles very occasionally but it has enough styles of warfare that just doing line warfare would be equally as disappointing as 40k. More than any other setting leaving out space battles would also be completely unacceptable for a TW Star Wars.
i am ngl thothis looks so fucking uglyuglier than warhammer evenshogun 2 battle maps were a work of art in comparison, for more recent dynasties as well I hope other maps look nicer or at least they touch up or change the colors somehow
>playing durthu>make friends with louen and karl, help them against kemmler and wulfrikthis doesn't seem right
>>568622685That image is compressed as shit, of course it looks bad. The UI is what really worries me, that better be a WIP.
>>568621051>>568621110Planets are like continents. You walk around with generals on them like in all TWs since Rome
>>568622685I hope they fix the UI. Somehow they mixed up their peanut butter with Dawn of War 4's chocolate and Total War now has the Dawn of War UI while DoW4 has the TW UI. Strange.
>>568623252>>568623042UI has to be console freiendly dont forget.
>>568623042>>568623252the UI is straight up mobile game>>568623662so make a different one for console than for PC tons of games did this even way back when
>>568621531Corruption looked better in earlier games where it looked like you were really destroying instead of cartoon wasteland. And some of them don't look really good, in my opinion.>>568621305I don't think it mattered but thematically spreading vampire or chaos corruption felt very cool. In warhammer 3 it never really spreads, only follows from behind.
>>568620674How would you even do it any other way? When out in the open those guys still need to move somehow as an unit. We have seen them in cover already too>>568622685Graphically it looks fantastic. That map overview they showed recently looked great
>>568620674would be cool to see them operate in squads, dig trenches and take cover/go prone like they do in the cinematics and in the BL booksbut unfortunately CA is a small family company, no budget for trenchkino
>>568623842>I don't think it mattered but thematically spreading vampire or chaos corruption felt very cool. In warhammer 3 it never really spreads, only follows from behind.Agreed, but this was because Unaligned "corruption" was very difficult to spread, so it was an offense/defense imbalance. In 3, it is harder to spread, which is just tipping the balance towards Unaligned. Also, corruption fades far more quickly.>>568623892>How would you even do it any other way?I think you do it by completely recontextualizing the base 'religion' mechanic, which was always a "the religion of your empire vs hostile relgions". Historical religion was always more complex than that, even if you did have state religions or approved religions vs heresies or unapproved religions.Like in 40k, how I'd do it is that low levels of corruption "can be good". And what I mean by that is that the initial stage of corruption can provide bonuses, like for example low level Tzeentch corruption might increase research slightly - as much as a library building. And low level Ork corruption might provide Ork mercenaries. Corruption doesn't build as a %, but rather builds as a shadow settlement (think Skaven, but under AI control) that grows more and more hostile as it grows more powerful.
>>568624372And for historical games, I'd have religion/culture work similarly. Each religion has a "in the minority" mode where it will provide some bonus or malus to the host empire. Like Germanic Paganism might provide some extra warriors but cause more heresy agents (the witches from Med 2, but in a new skin) to spawn; while Judaism gets Jewish quarters that can have different effects but have a malus as well (let's say the malus is public order).
explain why kemmler is not a horde faction?
Contemplate this:Jade Crossbowmen with over 300 range.
the brayherd has fallenbilldions must build
>>568625082>*gives your crossbow backline magical attacks*>*makes your crane gunners stalk, snipe and unspottable*how can one dragon be so based?
>>568625014when CA moved him they didn't make him a horde factionthank you
>>568625781that's lgndfttlwr
Two things:1. You know how usually upgrading your lord's melee defence by 12 requires 2 points? Miao Ying can increase it by 12 with just 1 point.2. Wood Elves increase both their melee attack and melee defence at the same time. How busted is that?
>>568620674>40k demands proper squads, trench warfare, smooth transitions between melee and ranged combat, good siege mechanics, and complex campaign mechanicsLol lmao if you think CA's main studio can do that.You'll get shit for Total Warhammer 40k and you paypigs will eat the slop
>>568622894I just got to gaean vale and ulthuan is a fucking mess like usual
>>568626640Everything about TW40K is sovlful and full of new tech thoughbeitTWW was just a lazy, dumbed down reskin of Rome 2 on other hand
>>568625856I wish I knew what this meant.
>>568620674>Instead we're getting IG line infantryGood.
>>568625014I think the VC rework will probably do that. Ghorst is even called a caravan.
>>568627392I don't think we've heard anything about "new tech" in 40k except better destruction. All the genuine new tech has been in the Medieval 3 videos.
>>568628408360 degree, full globe, wrapped planets are the biggest breakthrough/achievement since Rome 1
>>568627716That pic is explicitly not what what we're getting, that's something more like Warno.
>>568628558>giant moshpit of infantry shooting into opposing giant moshpit of infantry while vehicles wade throughThat's what we'll get and it's what we already have.
>>568628772Warno has a much bigger scale and has unit cards in 'packs', which is an innovation that solves the 20 stack question.
I just hope it doesn't play like dawn of warcause yknow, we're getting dawn of war 4 at the same timeI want one to have a more traditional RTS formula with buildings etcwhile the other a total war formulawould be a great fix of 40kslop if both turn out to be good games
>>568628523They're a new way to display already existing provinces/continents and something Spore did over a decade ago, absolutely nothing about it is as big a breakthrough for gameplay as Rome 1 was. Further, if it's literally just space lanes to get from planet to planet it's even more of a nothingburger.
>>568628838>Warno has a much bigger scale and has unit cards in 'packs'Warno does not have 200 model units.
America in Med 2, multiple regions in Empire, and the looooong Eurasia in Rome 2 were all innovations."We put the map on a sphere" is not an innovation, unless you think the series has been isometric 2D this whole time.
>>568628925dawn of war 4 is going to flop, they're already putting out cope articles and everything
>>568629167Yes it does? Are you joking? There are 10v10 matches that can easily exceed 200 unit models if infantry is spammed.
>>568629258i rly dont like those kinda articles cause dawn of war 1 isnt some lost technology the developers can literally boot it up and play it the definitive ed just dropped ffs, the formula is very simple just don't copy it 1:1, because tempest rising did that with C&C and it didn't do that great, people don't want the 1:1 formula, thats kinda true, they want 80% the formula and 20% innovation that's NOT SHIT, we'll see, but if 4 is as shit as 3 then thats it for dawn of war forever and thats kinda sad
What people want from a new DoW game is some of the stuff that CoH innovated, but brought back to DoW.Instead we get the RTS equivalent of slop.
>>568629009It was physically impossible in this engine and CA had to cope around this fact for over 2 decades. Nothing they done since Rome 1 is as important as thisYour and all NPC armies walk around planets in those 360 degrees and there can be up to 10 independent planets like this in a system. And only then those are connected with those lanes. So both player and AI has to keep track of those multiple full globe planets and travel between them. This is absolutely and utterly insane for TW.
>>568629186>America in Med 2this was so cool as a kid you get that prompt and you're like what in the fucka new continent to explore just unlocked?baffling, these days games do not hide content like that, they want their work to be known immediately lol
>>568629186>playable factions>pontusAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>568629838The internet has ruined secrets. Like even if they kept America hidden in Med 3, for example, on day 1 data miners would ruin the surprise.
>>568629186>America in Med 2, multiple regions in Empire, and the looooong Eurasia in Rome 2 were all innovations.Nope, that's utterly trivial, just a bigger map.>"We put the map on a sphere" is not an innovation, unless you think the series has been isometric 2D this whole time.Why couldn't they do it in Empire and TWW3 then? They had to rely on teleports instead
>>568629847he mad
The ability to respec lords changed my life.
wait....which game has the map on a sphere? cause warhammer 3 also has teleportswhich the AI never uses
>>568630137you are being very hyperbolic
>>568630118
>>568629807>Nothing they done since Rome 1 is as important as thisThe multiple spheres + naval battles in Empire as mentioned by the other anon were more important than transposing the already existing provinces onto a 3D globe. Call me when 40k has space battles, then we'll talk about a Rome 1 level leap.
>>568630137The fact that modder already did that first, then CA spent years not bothering to implement that are pretty telling.
>>568629350Post a unit of infantry from warno with 200 models per unit.
>>568630254Imagine a world without hyperbole.>>568630328Slow and steady wins the race.
>>56863017040k
>>568630530>Post a unit of infantry from warno with 200 models per unit.Goalpost moving. You can have 13 squads on the field and it's the same, and you can have way more than that if you are using an infantry deck. Modern militaries simply have smaller infantry sizes.
Space Marines will have squads of fewer than 10 men but Imperial Guard look to have about 100 men per squad.
>>568630721The goalpost was never moved, I originally said warno does not have 200 model units.
CA had a history of fuck ups from Empire to TWW3, unless 40k actually delivers then only time will tell.
>>568630916No, it is. Because you are asking if a setting that has no 200 soldier squads would have 200 soldier squads. Name one modern military that does so.But Warno is certainly capable of large scale infantry engagements, which is my point.
i hate all those wargame games because they're not world in conflicttoo autistic, not enough arcade-y, not enough close up action, or cinematic moments god WiC was a fucking gem that I gladly replay every 2-3 years till I die
>>568631092>Because you are asking if a setting that has no 200 soldier squads would have 200 soldier squads.You claimed it did.
Decided to do a new tier list regarding my experiences in campaign getting to short victory, mainly redoing all campaigns in the Cathay area due to the cat ladys addition.
>>568631213Those artillery bombardments and airstrikes are great even to this day.
>>568631369No I didn't.>>568629350>There are 10v10 matches that can easily exceed 200 unit models if infantry is spammed
>>568631386is that slut katarin
>>568631443u have no ideagetting a bit off-topic but, I've heard broken arrow is the closest to WiC out there, singleplayer focus, might give it a shot sometime
>play empire>put gunners on top of hill>attack>they start running toward the enemyhow is this fun
>>568631475>Warno does not have 200 model units(claim)>Yes it does?(response)(you)
>>568631601Good news then, someone actually makes a WiC mod for Broken Arrows, but it's still pretty early WIP.
>>568630137>play Empire pre-ToD>"fuck fuck fuck! I gotta save Gelt before the AI puts some dogshit skill points into his red line!">finally get him to 10 fealty and hes on at level 6>"thank God, I barely managed to sa-">red line point into swordsman buffs>restart the campaign
what allied rat units would go well in a standart beasmen army?
>>568631613gamedev is hard, please understand.
>>568631773You claimed Warno was incapable of featuring large units. I said yes it can, 10v10's can easily exceed TW's unit model count. Why are we still talking about this? Is this a 'modern warfare must be like gunpowder warfare because that's what proves whether a game has good graphics or not" mental problem you have?

>>568632705RAROOOOOOOOOO!!!!
just how big of a threat are beastmen in lore anyways, like for hunters etc in the woods or for people that live in the countryside near woods do they know which woods to avoid cause they're infested w those freaksor are they rare and people dont even believe in em
>>568632387I play total war to numb my brain
>>568633318They're basically nothing. Other chaos laughs at them and doesn't invite them to the cool parties.
>>568633318They're all over the place and are a constant threat to anyone outside of a fortified cityThey're too numerous to properly eradicate but too stupid and disorganized to pose a threat beyond tearing down some backwater towns and begging for the chaos gods to notice them
>>568633671yeah ofc they're kinda clowns compared to real chaosbut are they an actual daily threat or more of a maybe they exist maybe they don't talltales type thingslaughtering them in vermintide was fun tho
>>568633664Oh? That's what I use /twg/ for.
>>568633318They're a bigger problem if you're in the countryside but if some ambitious ones like Gorthor emerge, then that's a problem for everyone.
>>568633730i thought they didn't have the balls to venture outside their woods >>568633759believe it or not this general is one of the most tame ones on this site, very few uhhhh schizos, which is good, but I don't wanna jinx it, also I only post here during my TW binges between hiatus' so maybe i missed a few
when I play chaos factions I always kill every beastmeme to put them in their place
>>568633862this shit always made no sense to me, what the fuck are all those apparently huge masses of beastmen and kurgans whatever eating in the north/south chaos wasteschaos cum?
>>568633847Is Loremaster of Sotek an Exalted Champion of Nurgle or Slaanesh?
>>568633318Everyone living near a forest knows at least vaguely what beastmen are but very rarely ever actually see one.Wandering into the nearest dark old forest alone would probably result in an encounter but it would also probably result in that encounter killing you. Just sticking to the forests relatively near civilization likely won't see you meeting a beastman ever.
>>568633736>compared to real chaosBut they're the embodiment of real chaos. The Big 4 doesn't care about them because they will worship them anyway.
>>568634065They're probably at least partially sustained by chaos itself, like chaos warriors are.
>>568634065That and Centigor milk
desu chaos seems to have the edge in the lore way before the end times between all this random shit like rabid evil rapist beasts in major forestswhich is by design i guessorder ought to unite and genocide the beastmen
beastmanwoman are apparently very docile. what if we fuck the chaos out of the beastmen?
>>568634497>foreign invaders genocide the rightful native of their landwhat did GW mean by this?
>>568634847who cares whose native or not they're stinky n violentorder is aesthethic and coolyou wouldn't want to live in the empire take your wife n kids to a picnic in the woods and run into beastmen
Some potential improvements for the Bhashiva campaign:Remove Zhao Ming missions that target alliesGive Tigermen fear by defaultImprove Bhashiva's settlement climates in the Chaos WastesMake relics easier to see when zoomed out on the mapAllow Bhashiva to confederate with Zhao MingMove each Tiger unit 1 tier down whilst playing as Bhashiva's factionGive the Clawspeaker some additional skills, he maxes out very earlyAllow the Sawai generic lord to buff all Tiger Warriors instead of just Iron Claws Consider re-adding those Tiger variant units to Bhashiva's faction. Many of them are still present in the files and would give Bhashiva's faction some more choice for Tiger-exclusive armiesChange the 10 turn missions where you must be at war with Zhao Ming's enemies to 5 turn missionsGrant Bhashiva's 2 items a set bonus if they are both equippedThe DLC is well worth the asking price but there is still room for improvement.
>>568635059>they're stinky n violentthe average imperial
>>568634793what will u do with the beastwoman human offspring tho
I have a love-hate relationship with auto-resolve and today the pendulum swings towards BIG LOVE
>>568619574ignoring veilguard he thought it was likely that the king was going to divorce his daughter to chase french pussythis after he spent his entire youth fighting to free his country from the frenchdid i mention he really fucking hates the french?counting veilguard uhhhh who give a shit. he got tricked by the secret tricky trickers. what a tweest!
>>568635059>they're stinky n violentWhy are we talking about Averlanders?
>>568635407depends on wether it's female or male. i'm going full chorf degen on them and make my own slaves
>>568634847Beastmen are not native though. Not more than humans anyway.
no one is illegal, those beastmen might be engineers, landship captains or even life wizards
>>568635451Love AR when the bastion gets attacked. But lets see how you feel when your caravan gets attacked by a mini army next turn and the AR wants to wipe out a jade halberd unit.
what if you take a nice cute beastwoman out of the woods, clean her up, bathe her, enema, grooming, etc etc, then you wife her up and shower her with lovewill she still backstab you because of what she is
>>568637006>Ok, your hamlet was just razed by the beastmen, women carried off, and the children eaten in front of their families>Here's how we can mourn their loss without enabling unmerited daemonophobia>In this time, our hearts go out to the beastmen community, who will experience unnecessary xenophobia due to this unfortunate cultural misunderstanding. ~ Kouran Dreadberg, senior columnist for the Naggarothi times
>>568637440Beastmen are almost completely dominated by their instinctual urges to destroy civilization. They are slaves to chaos by their own desires.Convincing a beastman otherwise would be like trying to convince you to willingly eat flavorless gruel for the rest of your life, technically possible but not going to happen.
But I can fix her!
>>568637664but what if no one has shown a beastman true love before so they just don't know

>>568637795Whatever you can give them doesn't compare to what they get from despoiling. Their revulsion to civilized living is also in their nature, it's an instinctual disgust reflex, not a learned behavior, and it's instilled by supernatural forces.

Remember that you can get relics from trade caravans. Always check the destinations for the relic icon.
>>568638140I thought that it was nurture not nature for a lot of em cause of the whole deformed children get dumped in the woods thing, or is that old lore? Or were the children evil to begin with cause they were touched by chaos?
>>568638292All of those are valid because Beastmen have a bunch of different origin stories.
>>568638292They are evil because they're touched by chaos, the treatment resulting from that fact is only reinforcing what they already are. It's a feedback loop, but they were evil from the start.
its kinda funny thoughhow the fuck is Tamurkhan more of a nice guy than beastmensome1 said in his book he didn't even wanna destroy the empire he just wanted to shift it to Nurgle worship
>>568638292>I thought that it was nurture not nature for a lot of em cause of the whole deformed children get dumped in the woods thingIt's not "Eww, we got a beastman baby, let's abandon it and then be surprised when it grows up evil", it's "Oh gods we got a beastman baby, quick abandon it before it grows up and fucking murders us".Because the beastman WILL murder it's parents. It's even actually part of the lore that they feel special revulsion for their human parents. You have to consider that this isn't a matter of upbringing or even truly instinct, this is literally a god who gets up one day and goes "How can I make people as miserable as I possibly can?" and makes it happen.
There are now 105 Legendary Lords in Total War: Warhammer.Which one is your most played?
>>568638802Epidemius
>>568638802there are probably like 20 lords I've played 3 times each
>>568638802Meow :3
>>568638731makes sense tho at that point the obvious choice is to just kill the baby but I get you'd feel weird about doing that to "your kid"
>>568638802Arbaal or Golgfaggot
>>568638731And the parent also must be worried about the witch hunters
>>568638802addicted to Dragon Princes
my least favorite part of Med 2 is how the UI bar covers 25% of the fucking screenyeah you can use the minimal ver, but its lacking functionalityand the camera treats the UI bar as if its not part of the screen real estate so med 2 always looks fuckin squishedwonder if they fixed this in that mobile port (similar to how rome 1 remaster was just based off the feral mobile port)
>>568638731is this how parents feel about their downy kids? no, i won't ask mine
>>568639297you know what the funniest part of the rome/med2 UI is? when you look at an enemy army, the row where the unit cards are can only fit 9 of themso if the army has 19 or 20 units, there are 3 rows
>>568639103Exactly. The more cold blooded and/or pious parents in the Empire (or anywhere else) will be able to realize they're just shit out of luck and assume that the baby was never theirs and was hijacked in the womb by the chaos gods and it's now more demon than person, and kill the baby, as traumatizing as that might be. But for the majority, like, it's still a baby, it's still YOUR baby, and also that beastman insane aggressiveness is something that appears with time, not at birth.It really is just by divine design made to make your as miserable as possible. Or, alternatively, by GW writers who were feeling extra grimdark that day, same shit actually. You just get the full trauma of having to kill your own child, or live the rest of your life knowing your own child is somewhere out there eagerly awaiting the day they get to kill you.
>>568639507you don't have a child
>>568638802Karl Franz
>>568638802I always open the game thinking I'll play one of the many LLs I haven't tried yet, then start another Skarsnik campaign anyway.
>>568639507Downies are usually homies desu
>>568639682i have parents
>>568639557>>568639103>>568638731I always assumed this was based on pagan / medieval European copes about deformed children being changelings and therefore it being okay to abandon them in the woods
>Bashiva gets all sort of crazy upgrades to her units because of Zhao Ming's alchemy>frontline immune to psychology, unbreakable longma riders, magical attacks for all ranged units, etc...>Zhao Ming doesn't
>>568639543the UI and controls are the only thing aging these games, the actual graphics are ludokino, hell I'd say the same for med 1 and shogun 1, I love the sprite armies, but they're so clunk
>>568639974I think that has more to do with the fae down by Athel Loren and inspired the lore of them taking bretonnian kids to become servants. Could also be an inspiration here though.
>>568639753oh sorry I misunderstoof
is shogun 2 really that much harder than other total war games?
>>568640007>magical attacks for all ranged unitsDo you even play Cathay
>>568640236Kind of, even harder than Attila because of how squishy your units are.
>>568640236not with Otomo :)only clan I ever play
Nothing in Total War is tankier than a Testudo on a ramp.
>>568640236Yes and no.Naval is extremely annoying and you can be fucked in one turn if your home port gets blockade by a single torpedo boat. However, a lot of things are much easier/more responsive. Like I've always found Warhammer's economy to suffer from a lack of options and you're extremely reliant on free money given to you during battles, while in Shogun you have fun economic buildings. In campaign battles, the terrain matters a lot more because maps are designed to use it. In Warhammer, units often have such huge buffs or health pools that terrain bonuses become irrelevant.
>>568640236It has probably the strongest anti-player bias in the entire series and the fastest, highest-lethality combat. Your roster being almost identical to what you're fighting means you can only outplay the AI in the most basic ways, you can't just wind of death their entire army because they forced it into a 20x20 foot area or shred half of their front line with your ultra elite lawnmowers.Basic elite melee infantry is killing an entire unit of opposing elite melee infantry in less than a minute before they even gets any tech or building or veterancy buffs. Archer volleys will absolutely shred units and they're even more accurate than in TWWH.
>>568640236every tw is hard when you have no idea what you're doing and comically easy when you have the knowledge base, the hilarious thing / saving grace is that the OP bullshit varies from game to game so whenever you start a new one it's hard againlesson one for Shogun: yari wall
>>568641946>the fastest, highest-lethality combatnah I think Rome was crazier for this
>>568641612>while in Shogun you have fun economic buildingsyou have 3 eco buildings in shogun 2, 4 in fots
>>568641946realm divide was the first of its kind right? by which I mean a crisis that triggers based on player progress. wh1's chaos invasion was pretty similar where you could trigger it way early by capturing lots of territory
realm divide was a cancer mechanic
Anti-player mechanic is TCALUK's signature game design.
*Defends my capital settlement with 10 idle armies*
>>568642398More than Warhammer, which usually have 1 eco building, 1 growth building, and then a few gimmick buildings.
64 turns into a new campaign with no manual battles
>>568643402just play a city builder at that point
>>568643402This is CA's target demographic, btw
>>568643402just play Geheimnisnacht at that point
>>568642250Basic legionaries are like fucking ironbreakers in that game they're so tanky.
>>568643402Isn't this how you're supposed to play the game? Nobody really fights manually, do they?
Loli. Legendary. Lords.
>>568643120The empire has three, bretonnia has five, vampire counts have four, greenskins have two, dwarfs have three before you even get into the deeps which have like eight.

>>568644607which one is tzeentch and slaany
>>568645871Reduced army upkeep is economic.
>>568643120yeah but my point is that you shouldn't look at shogun 2 if you want an example of a complex economy in total war
>>568638802Only looking at TWW3, Miao Ying.Including Warhammer 2, Settra.

>>568663958Red line and rushing for the reanimate upgraded is still a good choice, just don't invest too much in the magic line but make sure to get the passive.

>>568669596uh, no sweetie
yes, it is
>>568669596
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2evIg-aYw8
>>568669997>>568670037Why is this a controversial statement? Enemy AI in historical games is completely useless and just breaks itself against your most basic tactics. For most part you just hammer and anvil and AI suicides right into it every time. But often you can just afk and that's enoughWarhammer is the only hard TW game thanks to bullshit fantastical elements AI has access to and uses, which is why you HAVE to cheese battles on legendary. No other TW is like this.
>>568670674I remember shogun2.. man.. the original 19 archer stacks. Just bring 19 archer and win every battle..
>>568670787Sounds like you never played Shogun 2
>>568664163>Goes>Dies>Ragequits
>>568670940I did a few times. Mostly with my mate in coop. Since all the sieges are those retardedly op castles, just park endless archers there and fire..
>>568670037
>>568670674I feel like Warhammer has way more cheese. Plus ambush stance, about the cheesiest thing out there.
When I am controlling my stacks on the planet, is the system frozen? When I end turn, is it also calculating turns for every system in the subsector? I don't get how this works... Fucking marneus isn't telling me shit about in depth mechanics.
Gentlemen. May I remind you all that on this day, many years ago, Constantinople fell, the Emperor was killed, and thus ended the Roman Empire.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_ConstantinopleTime to start a Rome 2 campaign as Rome.And never forget that Constantinople is rightful Greek clay!
>>568672768I honest to god have no idea why the romans disappeared. I just know they did.. for some reason..
>>568670787>Just bring 19 archer and win every battle..This is how you lose.
>>568673476But I won.
>>568673545The only bow unit with upkeep low enough to be making full stacks of are bow ashigaru and they are not good enough to kill entire armies before contact, they will then instantly melt upon contact with literally any melee unit in the game.
>>568673738Contact never happens. We just moves endless trash stacks in blobs until we hit cities. And cities means, park archers, go afk.
>>568672768>Byzantines>Roman empireIt's been 1500 years since the actual collapse of roman authority and you eastern niggas are still larping
>>568672768It's Istanbul, not Constantinople! The Turks were LITERALLY a top tier, scary military power for centuries during critical parts of history! G*eeks are delusional, just as bad as their Balkan neighbors.. Allahu Akbar!
>took a pill and became a woman???????????
>>568673804You think archer stacks win in shogun 2 because you double teamed the AI on easy with a friend?
>>568674825sex
>>568674934We never had a single coop battle. We had our own fronts, I started on the shitty island and he to the left. We just brought several archer stacks and hit AR.
>>568675052>ARThat thing that only works on easy?
>>568675742Why are you trying to argue with me man?I did it.. with my mate.. we just sent blobs of trash units to AR and archered every siege...What are you trying to accomplish here?Rewrite my memory somehow? What is this supposed to do?Is your life that fucking boring?
>>568674825
My body is ready (for Diplomacy with Chaos factions)!
>>568675892So you played a coop campaign with your friend on easy and that's why you think archer stacks work in shogun 2.
>>568675742>That thing that only works on easy?Now now, even on Legendary AR is very abusable in warhammer
>>568676582yeah right.. whatever makes u happy..
>>568676814He's talking about shogun 2.
>>568677107Yes, I'm just pointing out how piss easy Warhammer is when you understand the mechanics.
>>568676476I just ended turn 35 (this screenie is a few days old). Eastern KiZlev is being overrun by Ukhaos! They will convert or die!
>>568672768Man, the perspective on those walls is fucked.>Closer to the foreground, a soldier can reach to like a third, probably even half of the wall if they stand on their tiptoes.>Go towards the background and suddenly the soldiers aren't even a tenth of the wall.
>>568680442Maybe the perspective is normal and the Turks had giants?

hope there's a tau dlc in 40k TW eventually
What happens if CA release End Times and still refuses to expand the map by saying GW hasn't authorized them to add regions to the Northeast and Southeast map corners?
>>568710528There will beBut it wont be anytime soon
>>568661716doubtfulScipio was right there pretending to be sick, and Scipio Africanus never ever loses
>>568710528There's 0 chance the Tau don't get in unless CA completely screws up the launch and the game is such a massive failure they can't salvage it.

Guys, I'm terrified. I'm playing as Wissenland. I'm not good at this game and especially not as Empire.
>>568702245why are these bongs dickslurping jews so hard? I thought that was americans!>undersexeddid a woman write this
>>568687035For some retarded reason unit cards dont show attack speed (average animation speed + attack interval) for melee units like they do for ranged. A quick glance shows that Maneaters have average attack speed of 3.8 + 2.2 = 6 seconds, whereas Ironguts have 3.8 + 4.15 = 7.95. Maneatees have roughly 33% higher DPS from attack speed alone.
>>568713641>>568687035Also, Spearmen (Shields) attack slightly faster than Spearmen (no shields). Lmao.

>>568713197I would consult the leaderboard before joining any wars, but just by looking at that>Kill vlad he's free real estate >Move along the eastern mountains to kill azhag if you can get katarin to ally with you you might be able to overpower him before the greenskins on the west jump in. If they do however altdorf is a fine place to hold the line.>Once azhag is down go for the western gs. Then move north.That should get you at least a province or two. And for the love of the Lord man make more armies
>>568714652I was already finishing off Vlad. Looking up north, I realized if I don't deal with Azhag now, he's gonna get too many armies and rape me from every angle. I just spotted an ambush after declaring war and took out Azhag himself.I have a ton of income, yeah, but I'm constantly using it for building upgrades. Should I stop doing that and use it to fund another army? I have two other armies holding the line at Altdolf and in Stirland for potential counterattacks.

that was a fun fight.
>>568720657THIS CAMPAIGN NEEDS A HERO
No voice in my ear but The Maw
>>568722137How do you get it?
>>568722468It's a random caravan event; you have to fight a daemon army with your caravan. The trait can only go on caravan masters so sadly has limited usage
>>568721554>he plays julii instead of brutii
>>568702245You know what youth wings of Restore Britain and the Green party do have in common? HOI4
Why does the game insist on literally never giving you a good hill in battles? Why does it insist on ensuring the enemy always get it? I've literally never had the hill in over a thousand hours.
>>568702245Funny how these journos are happy to both sides the debate when both sides unite on one particularly long-nosed position.
>>568722137I really like this dudes. They are a pure commanders>>568722450On of the greatest lores of magic!
>>568723102playing anything but julii is just wrong, npc factions
>>568723102I make myself a little laurel crown out of cardboard and scream "I'M WEARING THE GAUL HATER HAT! IT'S MY HAT TO HATE GAULS WITH!" while running through the house naked.
>>568723402The AI is so retarded that you never need terrain advantage, I bet a large part of the playerbase don't even know that Warhammer also has the same terrain systems as the historical games. The game just has such a statcheck design that terrain rarely matters outside of shitstack mirrors. Basically they decided they could get away with retarded map generation because terrain buffs and nerfs don't matter in Warhammer.
>>568723853I want tall hills on my side so my ranged units have an easier time.
>>568723402What, you don't like valley map number 21461471?
>>568723102>scipii are boomers who can't move past that one time they beat up an old north african man>brutii are traitors who killed their king, killed their consul for life and would've killed their emperor had they not been purged>Julii founded a 400 year empire and brought said Empire to it's greatest extent not to mention they're red like the irl romans are commonly depicted as beingWouldn't even call it a decision. Playing Blue or Green is just evidence of abject retardation and shit taste.
>>568710528>Apart from Tyranid and Necron, Tau is the next most popular xeno faction.>More popular than Orks and EldarThere is no way they are not getting in; they have become the favorite of a particular class of faggots on Reddit.
Who was the most powercrept legendary lord in your opinion?It's either Sayl or Yuan Bo imo (not counting the changeling, that's more because the AI cannot interact with his mechanics)
>>568724215Brutii founded a 400 year republic lil nigga, put some respect on they name. Julii imploded themselves in less than a hundred years.
>>568724421The only question is whether CA isn't going to be a bunch of faggots and give us auxiliaries, especially the human variety. Will most likely anger imperigaylords.
>>568724772Founding a republic is a negative baka goyim
>>568724451I do Sayl right now and he is pretty strong but I do a lore accurate army (unga bungas/horses/ettins/underground snakes). Probably a fucking Imrick. All demon lords are pretty fair even Scarbrand.
>>568720657Lord traits are so unbalanced. For example, the yin traits for the shugengans are all fantastic, giving shit like +10% spell intensity, 50% lord xp, etc... while yang traits blow total ass with stuff like -10% enemy hero success.
>>568724906The Gayreeks founded kingdoms in the east after Alexander died and look what happened to those. Beaten by people who switched their leaders every year.
Who are we romancing in TW40k?
How exactly autobattle cant win against this dawi?!
>>568725470Autoresolve values armour, something dwarfs have in abundance, to a silly degree.
>>568724421Wow, I thought the grey knights would be way higher since the high point-per-model armies tend to get recommended for beginners. Also had no idea the leagues of Votann would have literally double the amount of players as the mechanicus
>>568725470Their lord could solo your entire army
>>568724421What are these numbers? Are they related to boardgame play? Admech being that low makes me think so and is a good case study as to why play numbers arent a good measure of popularity.
>>568724451Yuan Bo is strong but not funFighting against lizardmen is boring
>>568725438We won't know until it comes out, retard.
>>568720657imagine the smell
>>568725636It's because they're old and their entire roster are due a remodel so nobody is buying in because everyone interested in starting a Grey Knight army are waiting.
Soon it would be a slaughterhouse! Also both heroes are Farters. Iet the meat flow!
post eldar x human
Which glup shitto regiment do you want in the game?
>>568726318RAROO...i mean MEAT!
>>568631386How do you play Elspeth? I keep getting filtered by the starting vampire, meanwhile Tarmarkhan is so easy it's fun
>>568722137that would be insane in an old TW game where units would melt if attacked while routing but in Warhammer I feel like when a unit is routing it's generally already in the process of getting buttfucked and great morale / unbreakable rarely makes a difference outside of Domination multiplayer. in order to get full value out of Unbreakable you basically need to let a unit get wiped out which is usually something you're trying to avoid in single-player since replenishment exists. in fact I'd even argue that routing is a situational power-up in Warhammer since routing units seem to push through blobs to retreat much more quickly than they do when given a move command.
>>568725438the closest sister of battle with a mean face and a bobcut
>>568715226Might be Steel Legion/Imperial Guard in general trailer. Same way TWW factions always got inengine trailers
>>568724421Man, Genestealer Cults is probably one of the more interesting factions that GW came out with, and they just left it to stagnate.The idea of a cult of xeno-worshippers who treat each other like a family and lie in wait to overtake a planet with a compromised workforce that sabotaged everything and fight with industrial weaponry was a cool thing.
>>568726836yeah, unit collision is so broken in favor of the AI in Warhammer that a unit routing is usually a good thing because it would be impossible for you, the player, to get them out of a lost fight anyway
>>568727219me in the bottom
>>568727219It's simply their MO. In all their settings humanity gets more than half of all releases. This leads to AoS where most of the non-humans haven't had new shit all year and 40k xenos only get stuff occasionally, for example Votann haven't really gotten anything since they released.

>>568724778the comics on Twitter about one of these little niggas is quite cute.
>>568727608tau feet are cloven?
>>568727219Nids in general have been left to rot as a faction in favor of Chaos, and ironically in favor of the Necrons too.The problem is that Nids don't have characters, and can't unless you want a Newcrons situation again. The only character is the Hive Mind, and It is explicitly evil and treats everything influenced by It as a disposable puppet. Which, to be fair, is very Tyranid, but also makes developing and progressing a faction difficult. Even the differences between Hive Fleets are just the Hive Mind experimenting and occasionally seeing which Hive Fleet comes out on top.I think a solution may be to explore the origins of the Hive Fleet. I personally have the suspicion they're an early Old One weapon, maybe even one that wasn't officially put into service but instead left in stasis in the Old One's lab (somewhere outside the galaxy, probably) until it escaped, fucked around for a bit to leave behind feral Nids on places like Catachan, and then were kicked out by the Eldar or something. This redefines the Nids are not an outside unknown but rather a sibling of the Eldar and the Orks as well as a technical rival to the Necrons.Right now, the lore seems to indicate the Nids have no story or backstory other than "eats planets". That is their MO, but there's nothing to build on from that. No higher purpose, no objective, no connection with anyone or anything. Irrelevant space locust that is pushed aside eventually in favor of Chaos.
>>568726452they're not a glup shitto but I do really want jungle fighters. (as long as they have proper mechanical depth and aren't just a reskin with +5% hit points or something.)I feel like kriegers are guaranteed

>>568727228>unit collision is so broken in favor of the AI in Warhammerso I'm not imagining this? it seems like AI can effortlessly cycle charge my infantry whereas when I try to do the same, even in a controlled test environment, I need to spam clicks to get any results at all and they're still not as smooth as the AI's.
>>568727919They have tapir feet.
I don't understand how this ability works. I thought I would be stacking spell intensity with this, but my wizard army is all still sitting at 100% in battle still. So what does this even do?

>>568732476They were realistic enough compared to literally anything else on the market, and then they started stagnating and completely plateaud after Shogun 2.For the last 10 years we've literally gotten the same shit over and over just with +5 melee attack.

Do you guys feel like sometimes the game just decides to nonverbally call you slurs and tell you to fuck off by raping you with every fucking faction deciding to screw you over at once, sometimes from the very start?

>>568733797being eaten is their #1 goal in life nigga its like their ascension in their eyes, rapture
>>568733595what a fucking sentence
>>568733797It depends on the Cult. It can vary from>yes we will be eaten, but we'll become part of the Hive Mind/biomass (which is completely true)to>we'll all board their magic sky ships and then they'll take us to rainbow sunshine land where mutants like us will skip rope and eat candy while we continue to fuck and make more mutant babies forever
>>568733982One people can relate to.
>>568733982has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
>>568733797Sometimes Hive Mind cuts off mind control of converts once they are in Reclamation Pools already and start to dissolve, in order to maximize efficiency. They realize they were tricked, betrayed their own and are now dying a pointless death.That's humans who were kissed. Hybrids and purebloods are actual Nids larping as humans.
>>568733054>Craving for more sex she lets out a mating cry, luring more human male>He is dying of exhaustion and dehydration, his pelvis crushed to dust
>>568734521what the fuck is that webm from
>>568734753Aliens vs Predator 2
>>568734521there really should be an empire of man larping faction for every race/species. ultra racist xenos only racist to non humans
>>568734521No, this isn't the case. The Genestealer Hive Mind is separate from the larger Nid Hive Mind (so that it can operate independently when cut off from the Hive Mind, thus serving their role as a vanguard) and this is what is cut off in the last stage of a Nid invasion. So it isn't just converts that wake up and realize they've been had, but every single Genestealer and their hybrid offspring.Basically>"EXCUSE ME, I THOUGHT I WOULD BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD MY CULT TO OTHER SYSTEMS!">"Shut up and get in the reclamation pool!"
>>568734967It's so sad that movie was so dogshit. So dark you could barely even see anything.
>>568733634NTA but I do find them by far the creepiest and most horrifying faction in the setting, and in that sense they are interesting, in the sense that no other gets my skin to crawl like genestealers do.>>568733797They all think they're being ascended by the Four Armed Emperor, basically god and the tyranids/genestealer patriarchs are his angels. Sometimes they'll happily march off into the maws of a tyranid/the digestion pools, and sometimes the Hive Mind decides to be an extra dick and cuts off the synaptic connection after the tyranids have already won so the poor idiots get to see in their last moments the true horror they've caused and that's about to eat them.
elves are for humans in EVERY universe
>>568733797The genestealer hybrids are just xenos taking on human form and blending in, they know what's up they are part of the hive. The only humans are the people tricked or mind controlled to be infected and used to produce more genestealers. Anything that human produces will be a xenos just masquerading as a human.

How many Legendary Lords will the Space Marines have when all is said and done?
so do we know how the campaign will look like in 40k or not a single system? a single planet? or galaxy of rng gen planets?
>>568737418June 7th.
>play as any normal race>winds of magic are completely fine>play as a chaos daemon race>every region has -10 winds of magicFucking why?
>>568736967You wouldn't say shit to Chadtek's face. He would rip your head off.
>>568737418A singular campaign takes place only in a system or two from what they said, and completing campaigns somehow contributes to some overarching online stats of who owns the most territory.
>>568737418You have metaprogression system like Empire mode from PlanetfallYou pick one of premade factions or make your own Chapter/Craftworld/Waaagh/RegimentThen you have 3 ways to play>Big campaign in entire system, in first vlog soon after reveal they said up to 10 planets can be in a system which makes it roughly IE sized>War for a single planet>Custom Battle where your army just joins some random conflict to turn the tideVictory in any of them influence your metaprogression system. Galaxy is essentially campaign selectionThere are both premade campaigns (now obviously Armageddon is one of them) and generated 4x style campaigns
>>568737090Its not that big a shakeup from history to fantasy tho, that was pretty much scorched earthI think we gonna see a couple of new names but the fantasy channels should continue leading
>>568737791my head's full of shit, so he would probably eat it like a delicacy
>>568737912>and completing campaigns somehow contributes to some overarching online stats of who owns the most territoryI don't recall them ever even indicating this. It doesn't look like this desu, since devs said that if you conquer some system it's yours. This wouldn't work with every player being able to play as Calgar of Ultramarines either. Valrak's leaker was mostly likely just a retard/normalfag who only ever saw such map in Helldivers 2.
>>568738095It's okay to be intimidated by Mogmaster of Chadtek. He's built different.
>>568738138>Hall points to "crusade theaters," which will drive Total War: Warhammer 40,000's narrative. Players will be briefed on what's going on, which other forces are involved and why, and what's "in store" for wading into that crusade. "It's within the context of that crusade theater – who's winning, who's not – that will slowly reveal what the narrative of that is," adds Hall. "We have got a more tightly focused onboarding narrative, much like we did with Warhammer 3, that we're currently developing. That's actually going to feed into the canon of 40K, so we've got something for everyone."
>>568738374This still doesn't sound like online live service like Helldivers. At best it will be like TWW3 finally getting Chorfs so it shakes up campaign map
>>568737912>some overarching online stats of who owns the most territory.that would be extremely gay, can't wait for every discussion of the game to focus on that if it's true
>>568738740I cant wait to shitpost about marines losing half the sector to orkz
>>568738647Why would players need to be briefed about wading into some sort of event crusade and what's at stake if it's like any SP TW where you can just quit if you don't like the campaign? Why would you be briefed about who's winning and who's not? The only possible other explanation I can see is that the galactic campaign is going to be some sort of roguelike with consequences for losing or quitting but the mention of "what other forces are involved" and "who's winning, who's not" sure as hell makes it sound like some sort of MP component. Valrak's leaker was also right about very specific things before the game was announced, it's complete cope to claim it's a miscommunication from a retard.
>>568737927Holy fuck that is so fucking trash. 10 little sieges is the entire campaign.. oh god..I expected BAD from that game. I didn't expect it to be absolutely empty. 10...Dude..What the fuck.
>>568739554Its actually a single battle per planet, each planet has a single stack as a garrison and you have to pursue it, if you beat it, then the planet is yours

He also made a reddit post about it and any take that isn't "the r-word is a slur and you should have known better so you deserve this" is getting downboated.

>>568740092The redditors are right in this instance. Retard is still fairly spicy even by the good chunk of people who don't consider it a slur.

>>568741383Chatgpt wouldn't output faggot, nigger. You tards must actually be underage if you cannot understand this very basic shit.
wait, cove=/=coven. what the fuck
>>568741293Ah, so you are a loser.
>>568741640it would if spurred on, anyways its fucking retard we're talking about, CA managers are clearly either some hyper mega troons of the higher caliber or they're still stuck in 2020, because 2020 is when they tried to make "Retard" a slur, for decades before it wasn't, its new-age shit that was already abandoned like 2-3 years ago, no gaming company would pull you off partner for it these days, cept CA apparently
>>568739294It's for 4x map generation. You pick Nachmund theater and CSM factions can spawn for an example. You pick something in the east and Tyranids have bigger chances
>>568741990Maybe so, but I checked out the page linked in the tweet and they specifically say as requirements to "have a passionate, positive, and professional attitude" and "contributi[ng] to (or creation of) a toxic/hateful environment, through any of the above, or elsewise, is unacceptable" which immediately would tell me what they expect of me: bland, safe and with no spiciness whatsoever." Yeah, it's gay, but as soon as you get to the professional world this immediately tells you how they're expecting you to act. In a perfect world you could just have fun, all I'm saying is that the redditors saying "you should have known better" are correct.
>>568740030https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmlgdmEMdtMWe literally know all of this already>>568739554Are you retardedPlanets are continent sized, with normal regions in them you conquer. It's not like Stellaris. You have like 10 Ulthuans to conquer in biggest system possible
>>568742537those kinda youtubers end up 10x less successful than the organic ones (like it or not, like legend) lol
>>568742621If you're not charismatic and plan on making your money through shill early access videos, it's your only option.
>>568742554Yeah sure, so much to do on a planet.. that doesn't even have a campaign map.. wooowee so awesome. Lemme click this planet and then this city and auto load into a battle. Woooow..
>>568741668???
>>568739554You're playing through all of IE in 10 turns?
>>568743056i know, right?
>>568743048That article specifically says that on planets you're moving units around like a normal TW game and that planets are several provinces from previous TW games in size, retard anon.
>>568743048Planets are a campaign map you dumb retard. They have regions to conquer, develop and armies move on them, no difference from all TWs since Rome 1. You can see Ork armies in recent vlog they did evenVoid between planets is essentially sea
>>568743347Did you not know those were two different words?
>>568743585yeah. but that makes the "pirate-coven" all the funnier. pirate witches and witch pirates
>>568743453My balls look like that
>>568743453I'm worried about how the battle maps will look, 40k has some insane terrain types and I really don't want this to be a situation where no matter how crazy the planet is you get some generic flatlands map just with grass, ice or sand that barely represent the planet on the campaign map.
>>568743797grim
>>568743797go to the bathroom, anon!
>>568743868https://www.youtube.com/live/495WwWyS2TY?si=yzzxrdWMdjRIm3h1&t=6037They showed 3 of them. They are much bigger than in TWW. Seemingly they are handcrafting maps again, but they are modular, so those same layouts can show up on different "civilization types" and "biomes" which make up planets
Total War: Warhammer 40,000Total War: PictsTotal War: Jujutsu KaizenTotal War: Underwater wars
>>568727219>The idea of a cult of xeno-worshippers who treat each other like a family and lie in wait to overtake a planet with a compromised workforce that sabotaged everythingCool it with the anti-semitic remarks.
tekkenfag must be the dumbest poster we ever had in this general
>>568744304Handcrafted maps also make me worry. I'm not impressed by them slightly changing flavor depending on the planet, I've seriously gotten sick of being able to recognize map layouts as soon as the png loads in Warhammer. If there was a time to bring back dynamically generated battle maps it would be the game with dynamically generated planet maps.
>>568743868niggas start chimping out if they dont see an empty plain as proven by the initial trailer reactionDont expect awesome maps
>>568743887grave, even
>>568744658yeah, it's retardedBut I think planets have layouts too. It's system that is generated. So different planets can show up in it.For an example Hive World layout nr 3 + Acid biome, Feudal World layout nr 1 + desert, Death World nr 5 + jungle happen to be in one system this time
>>568744658Aint gonna lie, generated maps would be the shit
>>568745002and you trust them to not completely fuck it up? we're going to get oblivion dungeon tier maps
>>568745002They were great. There was no need to get rid off this feature in TWW. Now all maps are intentionally designed to be shit, are repetitive and do not reflect campaign map. Them generating big battle map based on campaign map and cutting it into smaller ones and adjusting was peak
>>568640236Honestly shogun 2 is just figuring out how to not getting into a losing firefight with the AI, you can comfortably beat every 20 man army with ~8 units just because walk forward yari wall is busted. I love the game but difficulty disappears once you realise a few aspects are non-functional or far too powerful
>>568737791>4mg of retatrutide/week>TRT for 3 months >Gym 5 days/week, peak nutrition>"I am a chad" nightly hypno-indoctrination sessionsThere, I fixed soitek
>>568732476Pharaoh at least had "push forward", "stand groung" and "fighting retreat" options, with heavier infantry being able to push lighter infantry. Also terrain mattered far more with mud making heavy infantry slow as shit and tire out very quickly (which mattered in that game a lot), so you could have heavy infantry making breakthroughs and getting bogged down if baited into unfavorable terrain
>>568745412The one upside of handcrafted maps would be going all out and adding little details that the old TW games didn't have but they can't even do that right. The roads reflecting their state in the campaign map and farms appearing in the battle maps as you built them in the campaign was far more impressive in Rome Total War than the shitty props they haphazardly place in Warhammer.
>>568743453>>568743373Does it have cathay? No?Well then I don't care for your space sissys and your 10 city maps.
>>568745412I dont get why CA is so afraid of terrain features. Sure, sometimes you'd get easy win, sometimes a ballbusting uphill chokepoint battle, but isnt the point of the game to PLAY it instead of every map being copypaste "rolling hills + smattering of trees"
>>568745812I really liked buildings you've built in your settlement appearing in Siege Battle map as well. Artillery was really strong in that game, but blind bombardment meant you also fucked every building built in that settlement
>>568746156>lost techi hate this so much
>>568745412Whats worse is the game is full of great maps that have a near insignificant chance of appearing in campaign so you instead get that 1 twwh2 map where the AI would walk backwards and to the left with a different background textures 100000 times in a campaign.
>>568746156I always thought as a kid that the natural evolution of buildings appearing on the battle map would eventually be designing the layout of your cities, at least partially. Maybe sacrificing wall height to be able to build up the economic district more or something. Instead we ended up with them just cutting buildings appearing on the battle map at all.
>>568743453i hope theres normal rural worlds instead of just hiveworldslop

>>568753915i look like this
>>568753915I look like this and say this >>568753974
So is there some sort of balanced campaign map that's between the IM's shrunken congested mess and Old World's bloated girth?
>>568753974>>568754445
>>568754552yes it's called "Mortal Empires" or, if you prefer "The Old World" (TW1 version)they each come with the added benefit of a huge reduction in border gore
>>568754904die fraktur schrift is der größte schwachsinn den sich diese spastis je ausgedacht haben
>>568754552TOW Classic
Gorbad is savaging the EmpireDechala, Sniktch, and Lokhir have taken all of Cathay bar 4 settlementsArbaal is attacking me from the northAstragoth Zulahoo is attacking me from the westZhatan is waging war on me from the north-eastGreasus is being my friend to the south so that's okBhashiva has a tough campaign. Thank the dragons that her units are so solid.
>>568755053>>568755308Is Classic actually reducing the number of provinces in the Old World or just cutting out the Dark Lands and South Lands?
>>568755585Cutting out the dark lands and south lands. I don't think your vision of a perfect settlement to landmass ratio exists.
>>568755761>I don't think your vision of a perfect settlement to landmass ratio exists.RIP, but not unexpected. Same problem with Rome Remastered; every modder deciding that just because they can do 1000+ settlements they should.
>>568755585for the record I didn't say Classic I said WH1
>>568756038Valid. Mortal Empires is shit though; Warhammer 2 is a much worse game than 3.
>>568756038WH1's settlement to landmass ratio is completely identical to WH3 is it not?
>>568756297They've definitely expanded a few things in that space since Warhammer 1 days.
>>568756342Maybe in some of the non-Imperial areas but the Empire provinces look outright identical to me.
>>568756520They added the mountain forts like Fort Sol (with Helmsgart being replaced by Ubersreik). Wisslenland got split into multiple provinces with more settlements. Black Pit got added to the Wasteland/Middeland area (I think). They added the Gryphon Woods. Probably a few more.
>>568756520they've added a ton of stuff>two magical forests>the forts>brass keepprobably other shit I don't remember
I wish Cathay was real
i wish this /twg/ was real
>>568756795Black Pit was definitely in the Eye for an Eye campaign, can't remember if it was in the main one. I concede on your other examples, although my overall point on the scale still remains. WH3 has many many more provinces than WH1 for that reason. Even compared to ME I think IE has about 200 more settlements.
>>568757364But it came at the cost of absolutely crushing Lustria and Naggaroth, which were already smooshed from the Vortex. Frankly, the Immortal Empires map needs like an extra 200 provinces or so, beefing up Lustria, Naggaroth, Estalia (seriously it's like 30% of the size it's meant to be) and to a lesser extent the other Border Prince lands, and the Dark Lands.The Southlands is hugely underrepresented, but it's by far the most irrelevant place in the setting so whatever. They should probably just cut the entirety of the Southern Wastes while we we're at it.
>>568757696I would agree, but this started with an anon calling TOW bloated and if he thinks TOW is bloated he'd certainly think adding 200 more settlements to a game that already has ~550 settlements is bloat.
>>568758025Anon I'm him, and there's a big difference between 750-800 regions on a map of the whole world and 1300 of just the original game + Araby/Nekhehara and dark lands.
>>568758376To me there really isn't desu. All the classic historical TWs had under 200 settlements. Anything above that just blurs together to me at some point. 550 is enough that I'll stop at 200 or so and call it in the same way that 1300 is enough that I'll stop at 200 and call it.
>>568755116Pretty sure the nazi were actually the ones who banned it
>>568758924It's more that the Empire is a really good play space in Immortal Empires. Cathay isn't bad either. It can take a while to conquer without feeling overwhelming, it's still short enough to go out a fight whatever blobs have formed else where. But most of the other areas are getting the short end of the stick. Takes no time at all to conquer what are suppose to be vast stretches of land, and LL bloat has led to them losing most of their identity as regions. I don't see the Old World mod really fixing this since it bloats out areas that are fine (Empire/Bretonnia) and doesn't touch the new world, and 1300 is going to be too many provinces regardless.
>>568753915I wish gnoblars were more viable.
>>568759264>some german invented it>hitler declares it is the true arian font>turns out it's shit, because of the abysmal legibitly>hitler says it was actually the jews that invented ithitler was a retarded nigger
>>568759418Your only option then is to hope and pray someone thinks up a Vortex + WH1 map campaign mod.
>>568759460The next Ogre Kingdoms Character Pack will provide a Gnoblar lord and a Gnoblar hero.
>>568759603>hitler was a retarded niggerNo news there
>>568760006i meant is. he's still alive and well.
>Game where you play a skaven assassin confirmed.Hell yes, one of my greatest dream Warhammer game-!>It's AoS.The monkey's paw curls.I guess as long as it's character driven enough, the exact setting itself can be secondary, but come the fuck on I wanted to sneak into Karaz-a-Karak.
>>568759603I mean, Hitler is the one that tried to take out his own book Mein Kampf out of circulation because a bunch of years after publishing it he reread it and felt fucking embarrassment that he ever put his name on such trite. Nothing out of of the ordinary for him.
>>568759668That would be kino.
>>568760231at least that's some reflection
>>568756520>Misty Hills province between Marienburg and Nordland.>Laurelorn province in Nordland.>Middle Mountains province above Hochland>Gisoreux Gap province between Marienburg and Bretonnia>Axe Bite Pass province between Reikland and Bretonnia>Solland province south of Wissenland.>Winter's Teeth Pass province between Solland and the Vault>Mootland Province in Mootland>Gryphon Wood province between Talabecland and OstermarkThey also added more settlements in most old Provinces (like Middenland and Talabecland have now 4 settlements).They also changed Sylvania Province to be, instead of West and East, "Nothern Sylvania" and "Southern Sylvania".
