Which cope was the most pathetic?>THE SACRED TOTAL WAR FORMULA>umm they said next Total War will be fantasy. 40k is sci-fi (lol) so it's not it>It's acktually Star Wars for sure, consolefag journo "dual shocker" had connections in CA and said so

>>568798235>Literally a normal army that's lacking slightly in meleeAnon this army is perfect comp compared to the stuff I used and have seen it's basically what dwarfs use
>>568791659"40K simply wouldnt work with Total War's formula, its never going to happen".
>>568798651she forcemarched into an ungor shitstack. i lost 2 (two) ungors.
>>568791659>"AoS models are so childish and immature ">Orks are using literal toy monster trucks
>>568798235That looks like somewhat reasonable army and pretty fun to fight against. Sure, she should have more knights, but at least there's a sensible build there. Doubly so if she doesnt have access to knights for some reason (like losing the recruitment province). I'd take this over Empire's "19 Landships or 19 Grenadier Outriders" / general "stack is 80% RoRs" spam any day.

When does the tomb king campaign get fun, also christ the TK extanded mod adds some cool deep system but with steep penalites
>>568800928>When does the tomb king campaign get fun?I didn't have fun with it till at least turn 150ish whatever time it take you to have a healthy unit cap supply of everything. But then again you have the casket of souls ritual locked. Holy shit TK mains are cucks
>>568800928>>568801443you bunch of faggots, the absolute most fun is the start of the campaign when your skellies hold the line as you rack up 700-800 kills with chariots
>>568791659I don't really care for 40K, but that wartrukk on the right and war buggy 3 look cool.
>>568801552That sounds so one dimensional and boring. I can do exactly that with Slaanesh without the gay unit caps
>>568802081gaynesh chariots are boring asf and units icky and the start location icky and the climate ickytomb kings is absolute aesthethics n they are the gods of chariotslater u get rewarded with awesome mechsgenuinely the only warhammer campaign that feels properly balanced and spaced out thanks to the unit caps, vs all the other ones where u get to recruit tier 4 within 5 turns
>>568801552We don't say the F-slur here on /twg/.
>>568795821The trick is that the phalanx is actually only strong in Greece, where the rough and confined terrain provides limited space to flank or outmaneuver it. Over open ground the phalanx can simply be outflanked because it's too slow to turn or reposition and loses cohesion easily.The secret to Macedons success is that it developed its own force of elite heavy cavalry based on the Persian's own (after being conquered by them a generation prior), which, combined with local auxiliaries, allowed them to essentially crush the Persian cavalry and prevent any significant threat to their flanks.The rest of Greece didn't really use cavalry significantly, because it's pointless to breed them in Greece's rough terrain, and post-Alexander Macedon never managed to rebuild it's Companion Cavalry corps to the extent that it could replicate Alexander's success.
>>568802378Fun?

so that's the entirety of helman ghorst? just zombies? that's my endgame? what the fuck
>>568803262>so that's the entirety of helman ghorst? just zombies? that's my endgame?Grim.
>>568802734It's also tournament legal and actually encouraged by Gays Workshop, too bad Orkz suck shit at IRL MPnigger tourneys.
>>568803262You can throw in some Crypt Horrors and Vargheists to speed things up, it takes forever for zombies to kill things
I had some fun looking through the catalog at anons reacting to how busted these big boys were at release./twg/'s instincts are not bad.
>>568803815Tier 0 Kislevite vs tier 2 Empire manWe all know who wins.
These guys are so fucking strong, I wish I was playing the faction that can recruit them instead of relying on mercenaries.
Does anyone have that Dark Elf dreadlord wojak pic?
>>568800195Empire unless I'm playing Archaon, then Karl and Elspeth become the 2 strongest factions in the game and have armies of nothing but luminarks and landships
>>568798850hate to tell you this anon but trucks with big wheels exist irl
>>568800581Katarin is strength rank 1 in my campaign and is currently bullying Arbaal.
what race makes it to endgame every time? i haven't bbought ToT, but throgg seems to slap everything since then
>>568806046I have never seen Tyrion get defeated by the ai.
>>568805153>High MA>Armor piercing>High charge bonusThis is ridiculous combination in a game where units dont fight until they've lost 90% of troops. I love them since they are essentially homing missiles: point at them at target and it routs, but their low MD means they cant just statcheck everything like elite WH charge infantry. You gotta pick where you use them for maximum effec and have auxiliaries to actually stand the ground to mop up, and they dont do that well in sieges because they get slaughtered climbing the walls. 5/5 fun unit.
>>568806046Throgg. Any other faction is a diceroll if you're playing the opposite side, but Throgg always snowballs without exception.
>>568806046Elspeth and Karl are always strength rank 1 and 2 and each field a dozen armies of landships and other BS. Can't wait for Toddy to make things even worse.
>>568807818What are Karl players even going to do after Todbringer is unleashed?
>>568807818His AI will bring tons of Hammerers
Is TW:40k gonna be available on console?
Skaven are getting added to 40k.
why dont defenders just kick the ladders down
Why don’t defenders just shit down the ladders?
doesn't work against Bhashiva it restores attackers health
>>568810703More le angle
>>568810703Its against the geneva conventions.
>>568810984This was unironically a thing in medieval europe, chamber pots n shit sprayed on the defendersDamn I kinda wanna shit down a poop chute on a castle, imagine the gentle morning breeze cooling your ass as you sit on one of these, then your poop goes splat in the distance, bliss
https://youtube.com/shorts/hlz4Vnf6QAIthis kinda stuff is so sovl, mirrors the mismanagement and corruption of late Rome
>>568803056Not only are you wrong anon. You're also incoherant. Your argument is so nonsensical I have very little idea how to begin to convince you of anything. And yet you approach it with such arrogance and ignorance that can only be rivaled by an actual tomb king.>gaynesh chariots are boring asf and units icky and the start location icky and the climate ickyHow the heck is a titty deamon on a chariot with razorbladess for wheels not appealing to you, but just some skeleton on a normal chariot is? I know tastes are subjective, but....>gods of charriotsslaanesh is the god of chariots I have charge bonuses to prove it. Your chariots haven't been relevant in years>Muh AestheticsNOBODY was talking about the aesthetics until you showed up. We're bitching about unit caps and campaign mechanics.>later u get rewarded with awesome mechsNo I BUY the building to MAKE 1, uno, hanna, tomb construct (not a mech). They're not awesome either. Ability wise they're kinda mid.>genuinely the only warhammer campaign that feels properly balancedThis is the one that really gets me. If I have to go through all these hoops to get my late game units that are on par with everyone else's that they got normally.HOW THE FUCK IS THAT BALANCED?!WHY ARE YOU EVEN CARING ABOUT BALNCE IN LE SINGLE PLAYER GAME?!>but it feels>it feelsFUCK YOUR FEELINGS! THEY'RE OBJECTIVELY WRONG! YOU COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME SHITSTACK SPAM WITHOUT THE UNIT CAPS. YOU DON'T NEED A DEVELOPER TO RESTRICT WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR ARMIES YOU KEK!Now get in the chair. Im going to go fuck Neffy while you watch.
game said clear defeat before i resolved it myself and all i did was click all my units and right click the enemy and sometimes use the regen HP spell and got a heroic victory
>>568815417It's a pointless campaign, judging by their HP you don't even have all the OP shit he getsA zombie heavy campaign as a normal VC LL is perfectly fun and viable
>>568815417autoresolve algorithm doesn't calculate most of the buffs that Ghorst gives to his zombies
Huh, didn't this guy have glowing red eyes? Or have I fucked something?
>>568815343slanesh is just too unpleasant to play not in a good way, I refuse to accept their chariots tomb kings are the coolest looking faction in the game which is just a FACT
razagor chariots > kang chariots
who drew first blood in the elf vs dwarf feud? it was the elves wasn't it
>>568816240Canonically Druchii falseflag, they butchered a Dwarf caravan then left Asur shit aboutWhich means you could argue the Asur are blameless
>>568816240technically yes? malekith orchestrated a diplomatic incident between the asur and the dwarves, the asur were assholes as usual and then the dwarves went full retard mode
>>568816240Yeah.The order of events is>Dark elves attack the dwarfs, falseflag as high elves having done it.>Dwarfs go to Ulthuan to ask Phoenix King what the fuck was that.>Phoenix King, instead of just saying he has no idea what they're talking about and will investigate, shaves them. Something that is worse than murder in dwarf culture and he knows it.
>>568816003>BUT IT FEELS!>IT MODDA FUCKING FEEEELZ!
>>568816882what the fuckhe shaved them for seeking answers to a massacre?
>>568817017Come now, surely it will grow back?
These italian spearmen are perhaps overvalued.
>>568817017You see, anon, he didn't like the tone in which they asked why he killed an entire caravan of dwarfs.Caledor II was a fucking dipshit.
gonna try malekaifinally getting value of of this DLC years after i bought it :)
>>568816882>>568817017It should be noted that the attacks had been going on for years before this event.The dwarfs were being attacked by what seemed to be organized elf military forces and the phoenix king either ignored them or insulted the high king multiple times before finally maiming some diplomats.Even malekith was surprised.
bros I love being hellenic so much bros
>>568817017It didn't help that the Phoenix King at the time was one of the most egotistical pricks the elven race has ever produced. Think Imrik x10.
>>568817465Malakai is honestly super fun. Yes, he's the most busted dwarf LL and probably one of the most busted factions in the game, but he's actually in such a shit starting position to compensate that you're actually gonna need all of those busted bonuses to survive.
>>568817715sounds unfathomably based, stunties deserve it all and worse
>>568817715kek those nicknames, dwarfs are peak >>568817718I dunno any of the dwarf mechanics learning em now
Quickly declaring war after wiping out a faction because the AI on my flank is less likely to if I'm already locked in with someone else instead of more likely
>>568817715>the goat warriormy ancestor
>>568817220most historically accurate battle report
>>568818000My favorite is The Frightened of Loud Noises.Reminder that the War of Vengeance is when the Dwarfs started making their first cannons, to take down the elven dragons.Yes, that means Thorek is acting like an elitist conservative about inventions that predate him by like 5000 years.
>>568817715>The Long-nosedAll according to plan-scheme!
>>568817715wait, i missread. it's not goat warrior, but goat worrier. does that mean he worries about goats or that he's making goats worry?
i just screamed LUTHOR HARKON at my cat's face and she got scared
kinda cool how this guy is hauling around his own mini city with the airship like horde factions
>>568818573It implies he makes goats afraid because he rapes them.
>>568818268>5000 yearsCan't trust newfangled bullshit anon. Did Grimnir use a cannon when he fought Chaos? I don't think so.
what the fuck is that 20stack at turn 7chaos assholes
>>568818658he was an averlander?
>>568817220>build large civilisation that lasts for hundreds of years with multiple large urban centres>only thing people remember about you is Rome stole your religion and architecture(retards don't even know this and assume it was all stolen from the Greeks)Etruscans really got the short end of the stick, historically speaking
>>568818690>Ok Thorek, you stubborn old mule, WHAT do you consider a properly dawi weapon then?!*presents a carnosaur*
>>568818589A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A PIRATE
dwarf pirates are so random
>>568806046idk about endgame crises cause I just play on normal until I get destroyed or get bored, but the one asshole that I always get stuck having to kill is Queek.I swear to god he just swallows up the entirety of the world's edge mountains from the south with his skavenslave and globadier crapstacks and spams the shit out of heroes that spread corruption.
rat bbqI can see why the start location is hard though all the chaos shits declaring war almost at once
When using slayers, do I want to make the entire army slayer units and heroes or can I throw in some ranged too?I'm playing Ungrim and my main army is mostly all slayers with like 4 grudgeraker thunderers thrown in. Should i just cut the rakers and throw in doomseekers or something? Same thing with Nakai. Kroxigor are big and have a relatively low unit size. What exactly do I throw in there to make up for their clunkiness? Cavalry or skink blowpipes? I'm very new to Lizardmen. I just did the quest battle for Kroak and tiered up to train dread saurians>>568819273I picked ungrim for the first time a few days ago and I noticed how cool these guys look. Dwarf + pirate + berserker works very well. I'm gonna look out for similar models I can print and paint.
how do deal with Archaon as Boris Ursus? I'm not running away to Kislev. I need to protect my country.
>>568819889Monstrous infantry are generally dependant on normal infantry to fight with because they act as a buffer while the splash attacks do workThey're like cav but instead of hammer and anvil you just charge in with the anvil
>>568819889you can do whatever you want man
>>568820085your country is at kyivslev, thoughbeit
>>568820601
>>568819273>have guns>have axes (yeah they gave them cutlasses but real pirate weaponry did include axes) >have beards>run into battle unarmoredseems dwarfy enough to me. it's just a matter of adding an eyepatch to make a slayer into a pirate. aranessa should have had slayer pirates from the start
what do i fucking do as naval focused factionslike that elf guy aislinnwtf do I do as a helf pirate guy if i don't have a map paint goal idk :(
Aranessa with that Sartosa mod was fun
>cheats
>>568821296build a strong navy and fight naval battles?oh wait fantasoys can't have man'o'war kino it's a lost technology hahahahaha
>>568820601>thingkin about thinkena wise man
>>568821525>man'o'war kinolol you have no idea what you are talking about
>>568821296Click on victory conditions and read what it says there
>>568798235You'd be bashing your head against the keyboard if AI learned how to corner camp with that compo
>>568800195Real answer is Zhao MingHe has nowhere to expand and loses to minor faction rats
>>568804607>Tier 0 Kislevite vs tier 2 Empire man
>>568821097Whom do they rob though? Pirates are outlaws. Doing crime is considered dishonorable by dwarves, and most shipping in the old world is basically allied with the dwarves. Even robbing high elves should be illegal (the high king likes to have good relations with the phoenix king). They can't all be robbing norscans and dark elves.
>>568823008Kislev makes me kek whenever I re-read some of their unit descriptions.
>>568821525Now tell us how would your ship defend against a dragon just hanging out on top of your fleet and flaming it to death. Man'o'War had balance decision that downgraded elven ship and upgraded other races to compensate and yet still dark and high elves just rolled over everything anyway.
>>568823008accurate
>>568823152>Now tell us how would your ship defend against a dragon just hanging out on top of your fleet and flaming it to death.They either get a critical hit with a ballista or they burn, Game of Thrones speaks of this.
>>568823291Batista's have a blind spot and don't shoot directly up.
>>568823008>>568823257in real life the bottom/right wins every single time
>>568823563Does he???
>>568822812nah. you will lose a couple of units maybe, but the fay is rapemeat as soon as 1 unit gets past a squire. and any fast faction will get to your trebuchets before you can camp in a corner.
AAAA SO MANY TOOLTIPSgranted my inability to bother reading all these is still why I don't know how a lot of factions work, wtf are blood kisses even
>>568824742It's just Norscan monster hunts but cringe(like everything dawi desu).
>>568825003you take that backdwarfs are the sovl of this game
>>568824742>my inability to bother reading all theseBased and justnotfuckingreadingitpilled.
>>568825070You can't be SOVL when you don't have a SOVL to begin with.
god that's so metagame-y and gay
>>568825389what's wrong with armoured archers
>>568825683no point recruiting them over regular archers apparently
>>568825683if you're playing helves and something is attacking your archers, slightly more armor isn't going to do dick to help you, they aren't worth paying extra upkeep for
>>568825683They cost too much money, apparently?Kind of stupid though, you only have 20 units in an army. Might as well make your archers more resilient.
>>568825683nothing, you just don't need them. normal archers do the same thing.
>>568825863oh and the AI is more likely to target em due to having better melee stats
>>568825863>>568825867>>568825870>>568825872they are negligibly more expensive and the additional armour helps in archery duelsthe biggest point against them is that you need a tier 2 barracks to recruit them
>>568825389Sky Lanterns are actually good now.
>>568826025at that point you're going lothern seaguard anway, right?
>>568825389>chaos spawn is le BADnever understood this, they perform well in my experience, especially the marked ones
what's the most braindead way to use units like this or riflemen? Checkerboard right?
>>568825389Slave giants are a peak T3 monster. Probably the best solution ogres have to monsters early.
frens
I want to keep playing new races to get closer to 100% achievements But I also kind of want to play a greenskins campaign
>>568826557Their "friendship" is a unending humiliation ritual for the Empire
>>568826336>CheckerboardNah.This is the meta way of using them.>b-but you need long frontal to get full damageOnly in historical Total War titles.
>>568826776nonsense, dwarfs keep the empire safe
>>568826834I would rather lose than get a win doing that.
>>568827084BASED and dignitypilled
>>568827084Well you did ask for the most braindead way...
>>568827176nah im the guy who askedbut that guys kinda right, that looks like shitcheckerboard feels a bit more legitits rly satisfying if you manage to sneak some riflemen on the sides as the lines clash though, they always rape
fuck sake fucking backline rat spawn spam bullshit
>>568827560>he forgot about menace below
>>568827560I always leave a monster unit that causes fear and terror with my archers when fighting skaven.
>>568827560>he forgorlmao, get rattled
>>568826834*casts warp lightning*
>>568827560Better than forgetting chorf dreadquake abilityor remembering even, sometimes units literally aren't fast enough to get out of it
>>568800195Tiq Taq To always seems to wipe>>568800262also this>>568800728Sisters and Drycha usually die out but I basically never see Durthu or Orion wipe since Athel Loren is super defensible.
How come there aren't any awesome loading screens in tww3 anymore? did the artist change?I've had pic related as my wallpaper for almost a decade now.
>>568828723????
>>568828723>*Tyrion seconds before his army was sharted to death*
>>568828723Even Norsca got a new loading screen with the last dlc what are you talking about?
heroic? looks like it wouldn't be that ez to me lol
>>568829726autoresolve thinks that having more than 80 armor makes you an unstoppable rape machine
>>568829726>heroic victoryare you playing on easy battle difficulty?
>>568829845normal>>568829829guess that's it
>>568829156>>568828968I don't mean any new ones, I meant any new AND good ones.
>>568829882>normalthat's the problem
>>568829997i always play games on medium/standard difficulty desu, whats the baseline that most people on this thread play on though? Hard? Very?
>>568830345the only thing the battle difficulty influences, is the auto resolve. in past game it would also give the ai a stat bonus, but they have made that a seperate setting. a good decision for once.so even normal battle difficulty will say you will win this in auto resolve, even though you're gonna get murdered in seconds in a manual fight
>>568829845You are big noob if you haven't seen a garrison AR do this
>>568831124it also happens on hard battle difficulty, but i don't really play dorfs. i still doubt it it would win this. if it's heroic victory on normal then it will be a close defeat on hard, which is still rediculous, DESU
I like being frens with orderthere's 0 diplomacy as nurgle or whateverapparently chaosshits don't need to trade w each other
>>568831331>i still doubt it it would win thisit wouldn't, AR just loves dwarf units cause they have yuge armor
Fighting Skaven is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in a video game. Warhammer 1 will forever be the best Warhammer Total War game due to the simple fact that the cancer that is Skaven do not exist in that game.
>warplightning when i have it>:)>warplightning when ai has it>:(
does the AI even use ikit's nukes?
>>568830345you get auto-resolve cheats on Normal Battle difficulty.if you want to play on an actual Normal difficulty, play with Battle difficulty set to Hard or VH, and manually set AI stat modifiers to zero.whenever I play, I play Legendary/VH unless there's something I want to try savescumming. real hardcore players play Mortal Empires
>>568832430it does. bait it out on a shit unit if you can. i think he only gets one for the whole campaign, but i'm not sure
hell yeah
>>568832624dwarfs are so fun
>>568832430>>568832618Yeah it doesn't make any moreUnlike chorfs where you have to dodge every fucking time multiple times (or Tamurkhan's random shit drop that would make way more sense on the other Nurgle lords)
>>568832841flame throwers physically can't not be fun
>>568833046true
>>568831331>>568829845I thought Campaign difficulty was the one that messes with AR?
>>568833178no. that one decides how aggressive the ai plays on the campaign map, how much extra money it gets, upkeep cost, how fast it gets technology unlocked. this is fine to play on normal, btw
>>568833178it's battle difficulty. test it for yourself using a siege battle
>>568833046>>568833171Dwarfs and Flamethrowers are always a fun combo
i liked kanes faction for the black hand alone
>>568834064played through kane's wrath the other month, moment I heard this I knew the DLC was gonna be pure unfiltered kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OXAnh0ItZI

>>568836939SW thing was so dumb LOLL
>>568836939Disturbing really
>>568837492You're correct, at least half the posts in that collge are me.
Playing Cathay for the first time, i expected to get dogpiled from all directions as the usual friendly factions would job to chaos/orcs but... they just won instead? And after dealing with Snikch and Vilitch the campaign is basically over at turn 30? VH/VH btw.

>>568837769CHINA STRONG!
>>568837769They really need to rework or remove that Great Bastion mechanic.
>>568836939there is moreI remember back in tww2 days, some russian who sperged out constantly about how insulting and disrespectful Kislev is, since it portrays russia as a caricature. And was sure it will never be added
>>568818917It doesn't help that we lost practically all written sources on them and their language.I fully hope there's a near intact copy of Claudius' history on the Etruscans, and translation of their language, hidden somewhere out there.

>>568837769You got lucky; Zhao Ming couldn't even beat rats in my game
>>568838343>since it portrays russia as a caricaturedid anyone tell him, that every faction in warhammer is a caricature?
>>568838515yeah, but he kept sperging about poland
>>568838515UM WHO CARES ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES RUSSIA NUMBA WAN YOU CANT PORTRAY THEM AS A CARICATURE WHAT ARE YOU A NAZI UKRAINE SUPPORTING FAGGOT???
They will never make a Total War: World War 2 because then they would have to let us play as Hitler and Stalin.
*plays as Genghis Khan in Medieval 3*
>>568838603because of the winged lancers? poland was a regional power in europe as well (as brief as it was) and their slavs. you could put them in ostermark either, i guess.
>>568838935he's not white so he's not problematic
>>568838793They were supposedly planning either a Victorian Total War or a World War 1 Total War. It got canned after the Hyenas incident.

>>568838935Don't know if he'll be playable, if the Mongols are playable at all in some sort of later year campaign instead of an emergent threat, it'll probably just be the vanguard of their invasion, so maybe Jochi and his other sons.

So I guess the average vatnik can feel pleased.

>>568843047Guess which group is very present and influential in america and which one is not.
>>568845379both are influential in america, and muslims just like jews with a very outsized influence considering their numbers
anon, jews get +13 from atheists. their worst rating is still a plus 13, i guess jews are just really great people
>>568843395
>>568845129vgh.. pvre sovl...
>>568845379>>568845581not to get too offtopic and poltard-y that's because everyone found out that the US is unbeatable in a real war, especially if the merican public support it, so the obvious course of action is to subvert from within, much cheaper, much less dangeorus, much more bloodless, everyone's doing it, future wars will be fought in the brothels, senate rooms, online honeypots and dinners of american politicians, only the rly stupid ones will be in a field arranging their armies
>>568845627Nah it's because on average most atheists lean left and are progressive and so do jews in terms of what they support, so they are ideologically aligned in terms of politics.Nothing else to it
>>568845893opposite, they've never truly "lost" a war, simply lost interest, if the US public was bloodthirsty enough for vietnam they would have stayed n glassed the whole country like they did iraq, the country's geography n resources are too OP
>>568845919look again. everyone gave jews a positive rating. the +13 from atheist is their worst. atheists are the most basedest
>>568845893this has gotta be the biggest "d-doesn't count" post of all time
>>568845893They will redefine what "win" means and pretend that they "won" every war.
>>568846093i didn't know poland, india and the bubonic swarm took part in the iraki war
>>568846238if u say so nigga... the reality is that no force on earth can defeat the US in an all out totalen krieg style war, the industrial capacity and geography is just too strong, they could have even beaten nazi germany 1v1 but subverting it is easy, senators are a bunch of easy to bribe n blackamil satanists soooo

>>568846103They gave them + 13 and all other religion negative is because the Jews are most progressive voter base of the religious on average is what I was saying. If Jews were more conservative they would have rated them lower. The same reason they rate christians much lower than Muslims even though Islam is much more illiberal than Christianity - Muslims in USA vote Democrat since they are a minority.American christians rate Jews high because they (even the non evangelicals) follow a dispensationalized version of their religion (pushed in general american culture, in Europe you don't have such shit on average spart from some parties that have ties to US conservatism).The votes are ideological nothing to do with anyone being "a good person" here it's just "how much do they agree with my poiltics" + dispensationalist zionism.Plus these are old stats after recent shit everyone will most likely rate Jews lower.

>>568848205here you go, anon-friend
>>568848449even there they don't exist. paganism has no continuity, all pagan "revivals" are based on information that was half-heartedly written down by christians observing them. even the most documented pagan religions like greco-roman paganism is still going to be a larp when revived because when you haven't been immersed in the actual religion since birth you're just academically extracting your beliefs from what people wrote about it 2000 years ago rather than actual belief

>>568848795can you even win with this? i don't think i could
>>568848738Ok I see your criticism, but when I said non-larp I meant in the sense they actually believe in the gods and don't use it as a skinsuit for nationalism nor as a fad like the hippie wiccan pagans do
>>568849002delfbros our leader fucks rat-things how can we compete-fight ?
>>568848992i don't believe whatever that literally who xitter user says /pol/ tweet screenshot poster>>568849026a religion is more than just convincing yourself to believe in something is my point. human beings can convince themselves to legitimately believe in almost anything. with religion it's the continuity and rituals that are just as important as the belief, even more so with paganism, and they're just full on lost
>>568849183it's over-over>skaven talking over-over the walkie-talkie
>>568848795Grey-Seer Legend of Horned Rat approves!!
>>568849002Foolish Mors-thing not see true extent of plan-scheme, greenskin cannot fly
>>568849026and also, pagans who legitimately believe in non-greco-roman gods believe in gods as filtered through christians describing them in a way that makes sense to their own worldview as well, that was my other major point
>>568849304>and they're just full on lostthey aren't really. there's all kind of local flavors of christianity where the peoples kept their pagan traditions. and they believe them to be as true and real just like the rest of their christian beliefs
>>568849672a small amount of pagan traditions that have changed heavily over hundreds of years in a christianized society is not pagan traditions. having weird shrines to santa muerte does not mean that aztec worship of mictecacihuatl is still alive and kicking
>>568849550i think i need a new set-pair of eyes. i thought you were fighting malekith and highlevel unit-things.
>>568849921A pagan tradition is a pagan tradition.
>>568850163a pagan tradition is not paganism, that should be blatantly obvious. you cannot reconstruct the worship of mictecacihuatl through traditions surrounding santa muerte anymore than you can reconstruct ancient european pagan religions through the pagan traditions that snuck into actual mainline catholicism early on.
>>568849921mexicans (a very catholic people in general) still pray to that skelleton lady. call it what you want, but it is a pagan tradition and every single people in europe has some local flavours too.
>>568849304>>568849574I don't disagree with your overall point anon regarding certain strands of paganism. Though there are some areas like the Baltics and Iceland where you had small communities that never stopped being pagans and carried own the tradition. Those are very small, but still.Even regarding the ones to which your criticism applies they are indeed theists that to the best of their ablity try to recreate and follow those religions.So I would not put them in the same category as the ones who purely do it for political reasons where they tie it to ethno-nationalism and have no genuine belief. I think you could agree that it would be fair not to treat the two parties the same.I don't think paganism will be making a comeback, I think overall for most people monotheism will be seen as more logical should any return to theism happen in the west be it christianity or something else, but still I stress the difference between online & irl political larpers and people who do in fact for whatever reason actually believe in deities.Total War Let's not anger janny
total board war. what faction do you main?
>>568850907/vg/ I just use a few generals and sometimes visit /tg/
>>568850652well yes there is a difference between online "pagans" and real life pagans. although i call both larps when it comes to old paganism because they lack the continuity from the actual old beliefs, at least real life neo-pagans are basically trying to start their own new religion with actual traditions while online pagans literally do nothing and are atheists in all but name
paganism is fuckin disgusting historically all out orgy gay faggotry and killing innocent animals for no reason or humans at worst, modern time a larp for those type of indoctrinated 14 year old 764 cult type radicalized femboy trans-rabid neonazis to LARP, its pure evil in all its forms, thank god for Christ

>>568848738This.The people trying to be pagans today are doing it for radically different reasons than the people who actually were pagans. Hence they wouldn't be authentic pagans in an ancient sense because they have no reason and no motivation to do so.It's not a coincidence that modern "pagans" are often either full on leftist degenerates or blood and soil racists. Their belief is not paganism, they're using paganism to mantle the beliefs they actually have.

Kinda offtopic, but how does GW stay afloat with these crazy miniature prices? Why do people buy stuff this overpriced?Wouldn't they make more money if they lowered the finnancial barrier to entry? Or is vidya, books and other media mostly making $$ for them?
>>568852924But I don't actually like any of the factions added after Warhammer 2
>>568853981people that have hobbies (not including video games) are always willing to pay exorbitant prices
>>568853981gw perfected making profits off of whales well before gachaslop did
>>568853981They charge whatever people are willing to pay. If a single box of Guardsmen is £30 then it means their customers are willing to pay £30.
>>568853981roller coster tycoon teaches this very well. you have to set the price so high that a certain percentage of your target audience (like 85%) would still be willing to pay for it. maximizing profit and shit

>>568853981Anon the harsh truth is it's not the average Joe that carries sales, it's whales who buy up everything you shit out. Same goes for live service vidya.
>>568853936>>568854310Buying the soundtrack is crazy
We live in a world where people pay $1000 yearly for a mobile phone and some are even willing to pay $7000 for a 90 minute football ticket. I have even heard rumours of individuals that spend $100s on video game DLCs.Lots of people in the modern era have high amounts of disposable income.
I still have WH3 review set to negative.TCAL has not done enough to earn back my trvst.
>>568853981Well first of all no one offers plastic minis at the level of detail as GW. Like literally no one. Only resin minis from their competition come close. Second they have the best designs. People hate AOS but the models are selling like crazy not for playing but for conversion or just for simple paining.
holy shit, i bought all of it on 50-70% sales THOUGH

>>568853981>but how does GW stay afloat with these crazy miniature prices?they charge $200 for 50 cents of plastic and a cardboard box. Even if people get turned off by the price, everything they sell is literally 4000% profit
>>568854543Are there any mini war games that come close to GW's level?
>>568856356nta but the old star wars armada minis were insanely good
>>568856356Not a single one. GW is like 98% of the market in one company. Everything else lives in it's shadow. GW would REALLY have to go full retard to ever get actual competition.
>>568856185the process to make these figures was much more complex in the 90s and even 00s than it is today. i don't know if the price back then was over the top, but they shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks nowadays
>>568856185>they charge $200 for 50 cents of plasticMolds to make these models cost million+ a pop. The price models based on how well they will sell to fund other less selling lines that would have to phased out if they only produced what sells.

>>568859194she starts with one hero, when you choose her faction.
>>568859341only thing I know about necromunda was that fps game that was kinda mid boltgun is much better, but you basically only fight chaos in that game and in 2 its just more chaos so idk what they're thinking they should add some more exotic enemies
>>568859483The main hero of that game is too OP for Necromunda standards. No way any bounty hunter could defeat a psyker in open combat.
>>568802074The 40K Or(k) kurse>Get lots of cool vehicles, big squigoths, and shooting is actually fun>Gobbos are borderline non-existent, no trolls, no giants, nothing as hilarious as fantastic.A real mixed bag.
40k total war isn't even out yet and the general has already fallen
>>568859960fantasy bros.... tick tock....
no it hasn't
>>568791659I just assumed every star wars post was a shitpost
>>568836939>Star Wars Total WarThis would never happen because it requires both Disney and CA to make not just 1 good decision, but a collective one at that.Also Star Wars without space battles would be shit.>>568837769Did you turn on the buffs for minor factions. Cause lmao that almost never happens. Typically the best you can have for is Vilitch losing his first attempt at the wall and you getting an extra 10 turn respite.
>>568859883Gretchin have some of the most iconic units in the ork roster.
>>568859142September.
>>568857071imagine the smell
>>568860557Eldar don't have any body odor.
I need more content i need more news AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>568860781cunt stink doesn't count as body odor
>>568860865Even their innards don't have a smell. They were designed to fight a war and dominate every aspect of it.
>>568861073>They were designed to fight a war and dominate every aspect of it.so? why would that make them not smell
>even more rumors that skaven are getting added to 40kIt's over, ratfags won
>>568861073yeah that's why they had so many degen orgies they doomed the galaxy FUCK ELDAR and their lame ass units too boring playstyle of sneaking around w stealth i always hated their missions in dawn of war only good for rape n nothing else
>>568861158>>even more rumors that squatts are being re-added to 40KCareful what you wish for.
>>568861156Squigs are like dogs they can smell you.
do we like Colonel Damneders
what's a good dark Eldar faction for a first run? I also wanna play on nagarond or whatever cause I haven't played there everMalekith?
>>568861295you can use smell as a weapon, too. ask the indians
>>568861417Yes. But soitek is /ourguy/
>40k niggas will look at this and be like "yes I'd like to take out a mortgage in order to pay for plastic toys please".
>>568861487Morathi is the easiest one. Lokhir is the funnest one. Malekith is the most bare bones one as he has literally no mechanics or meaningful campaign bonuses.
>>568861556Reads like something a girl would write. Yuck.
>>568861657NTA but is Malus still in "literally better when you confed him instead of actually picking him" jail?
>>568861487Malekith is vanilla and challenging. Naggarond being a regular 8 slot capital in a 2 region province is hilarious too.Mommy has all sorts of Slaanesh stuff, including corruption and units. Safe starting position, can get to fighting for the Doughnut very quickly. Won't do too much in Naggaroth though.Granny gets more mechanics and has a proper Naggaroth start.Dorkblade gets a split start like Eltharion. Nice and challenging if you choose to keep Hag Graef.
>>568861657problem w lokhir is he doesn't play on niggarond I kinda wanna check it outOr I could pick a helf and genocide nagarond but I'd rather give dark Eldar a try
>>568861812Ever since he lost his ward save from his mechanic he became pathetic.
>>568861556Warhammer and the Old World have always been more expensive than 40K though. 2000 points minimum for a decent game is not cheap.
not one drooki on Naggaroth
>>568861939Oh...
>>568861989Given that it's a 50/50 whether Malekek survives like 20 turns it's fairly accurate.
>>568861989He'll soon be a LL option for Malekith lol.
>>568861840might go for the granny then, or morathi and just focus on nagarond first? are u able to do greenskin style confeds with delves or what idk, would need to just war em all and map paint nagarond old fashioned way?
>>568862183Warpaint unfortunately.
>>568861810girls aren't yucky
i for one like rakarth's monster recruiting>fight shit in the jungle>get dinos
>>568862463But I want Medusa GFs!!! Malus starts w8th a Medusa GF. It's unfair.
>>568862547i think he has a buff for medussies, so your GF can be better than the ones of malus or malekith. if you get one
>>568862174>Mommy will be a LL option for Tyrion
what LL has the strongest factionwide unique skills? It annoys the hell out of me when an LL has insanely OP buff skills but they only affect his own army
is it just me or do delves have kinda low unit variety, is it cause they're one of the forsaken (by CA) races? or am i wrong
I also like Rakarth mainly for his amazing classic design. His helmet is basically the best thing CA ever did.
>>568862948Nah they always had a compact but versatile and powerful roster on the TT. Right now they are missing unit variants and a generic lord out of their TT roster. But that's basically it.
>>568862907Gorbad buffs all melee infantryYuan Bo buffs all Jade WarriorsHelman Ghorst buffs all Zombies
>>568862907Orion is up there. Declare on everybody, free armies, win the game. Speaking of Wood Elves, Sisters of Twilight are also great. Arrow of Kurnous volley for Hawk Riders is stupidly powerful and eliminates the one thing Wood Elves might have trouble with (artillery).
>>568863305>Helman Ghorst buffs all ZombiesQuite literally SURPASSED fagash.
>>568863364that's Nigash for you
Dark elves have the worst implementation out of any race. Every single unit that was their staple on the TT is trash in the game outside dakrshards and even then they have half the range they supposed to have(should be the same as HE archers).
>>568863739Darkshards with 180 range would be the most busted unit in the game. Darkshards are already insane with just 125 range.
>>568863937Well yeah dakrshards are supposed to be the ultimate answer to HE archers. Quite literally why dark elves dropped bows for that crossbow model.
>>568863739Darksharts are perfect but Blood cauldron hag heroes, Cold one dread knights, all versions of Dark Riders need a rework. Especially CODR needs a precursor handbow shots and Dark Riders should at least be on par with Empire Knights.
>>568863739Dark Elves have a great roster with a lot of cracked units and have really benefited from Warhammer 3's combat/difficulty changes benefiting melee, but they still did well in 2 thanks to Darkshard/Shade spam.High Elves got fucked over by Martial Prowess being a MD increase 50% + HP. Meant half they're roster was useless in Warhammer 2, meanwhile the TT they had an extra rank of attacks, plus all the juicy benefits of high initiative plus always strikes first (not exclusive to just them). Hell in TOW they get to fight in ranks even when flanked.
>>568863739do dork elf fags literally do anything other than complain falsely that their race is underpowered
Is there a point on putting the campaign difficulty above normal?
>>568864828Early game isn't a snooze.
brosI've come to the realization that I like pressing end turn
>>568864751That bait lost all its lure after HEs got movement range hero with a unique lore and fucking summons. If it not for the shards, shades and sorceresses they would be trash tier.
>>568864398Dark riders were quite literally the strongest light cav in the 8th edition. Dunno what CA was soking when they made them so weak. Khanite assasins are also a joke. THE lord killer hero that could melt anything and kill it's target even if it was killed itself is incapable of wining even against generic lords. Hydra? Neutered into irrelevancy. The most immortal and legendary rage inducing part of the DE roster is a healing capped wet fart in TW.
>>568864936Reminds of the good old days of TW2 Tomb Kang campaigns. SOVL...
>>568865132>8th in the trash were it belongsGood.
>>568865120there is no bait. it is literally all you faggots do. you're spiritual ratfags, it's just porn and complaining about being underpowered
>>568865315Hero hammer was and always will be trash. There is a reason TOW is built on 8th edition not 6th or 7th.
Is it true that Total Warhammer 3 will be the last Warhammer Fantasy game because GW is focusing only on 40k?
Miao Ying footjobs
>>568865315DE were even stronger in 7th lmao. Literally SSS+ tier army that people didn't want to play against.
>>568864828It gives the AI huge economy and settlement management cheats in addition to extra recruitment slots. In most TW games setting the difficulty to VH is basically mandatory for the AI to even function because it just bankrupts itself and dies off otherwise.
>>568865485Yes. It will get supported with DLC for a long time though, like Rome 2.
>>568865132Dark Riders in Malus' books made a party of cold one knights shit themselves and run. I really dont know why are they relegated to trash tier "run-down enemies after battle" unit.
>>568862907Maybe queek.Frenzy on pretty much all melee infantry factionwide, including the elite melee infantry, is pretty crazy.
>>568865831It won't, stop beliving in everything CA tells you.
>>568865513
>>568865132Blame, as usual, mpfags.
>>568865931CA made them cheap cav when they weren't cheap at all in the TT.
>>568866085whoahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh those leg ornaments are so hotyou just know she lets her white boyfriend suck those toes
fartsharts
>It won't, stop beliving in everything CA tells you.but CA said that they will make more DLC
>>568865996It will get DLC as long as it sells, and Fantasy fans have always been paypigs. You can count on CAs greed to keep the lights on.
>CA saidRoadmap status?
>>568866304sorry, that was a typoI won't stop beliving in everything CA tells you.
Mung any day now Legendbros.
>>568866389If only their greed were enough to fuel 3k DLC.
>>568866582>3k DLC that doesn't even have 3k timeline
>>568866658If you at least knew what you are repeating.
>>568866658Their leadership is not the brightest, please understand.
>>568866768Oh I know what I'm talking about. Go find me 220AD on 3k's timeline. Where are the long requested Zhuge Liang northern expeditions? Where are the Hefei-Ruxu seesaws?
>>568866658an actual three kingdoms start would have been boring, but we still should have had one
>>568866085She has the same face shape as soitek. Grim.
>>568866658A 3K start date would be fucking boring, only retards keep parroting this. Not having it as a startdate was never the issue.
>>568866658Yeah, nobody was buying the DLC. It came out too late, and wasn't very good. Apparently Charlie Chang isn't a paypig and doesn't eat up slop. But Warhammer fans will, so the lights will stay on.
Imagine a 3K start date with AI Cao Cao spamming his plots each round and you can't do anything because they snowball in power with the size of a kingdom they are used against. Weitide would be inevitable.
Reminder!In June we are expecting:>MED III news>Rome 2 news>TWW3 8.1 AI rework>TWW40K news
>>568867685when in june nigga
>>568867685It's already June where I am
>>568867685Rome 2 getting mechanics and content from Pharaoh is the ultimate humiliation ritual.
>>568867429And you hit end turn on your first turn and you're immediately hit with 5 siege battles. I enjoy getting kicked in the ball on turn 1 campaigns like the WRE only rarely, a 3K start date campaign would be something you do once and then go back to 190 campaigns.
>>568867685>TWW3 8.1 AI reworkI don't believe it.
>>568867016>Grim.groovy even
>Rome 2 failed because they didn't add a 50 AD start date where Rome already controls the entire Mediterranean and most of inhabited Europe and every single war you fight is against the Persians
>>568867943It's only getting graphical updates from Pharaoh, I actually WISH it was getting Pharaoh mechanics. Razeable cities, stances, hordes and settlement destruction would make Rome 2 a top 3 game immediately.
>>568867805does may 31st not exist in your country
>>568867943>>568868527pharaoh dynasties has the best mechanics in the franchise
>>568868527No it's also getting a new armor damage calculation model that was lifted from Pharaoh. You will forever play Pharaoh even if you never wanted to.
>>568867685>All Content Subject to Change
I only play Rise of the Republic because I'm a true patrician that opposes dictators.
god what a spoiled nigger communitythe crit change is good
>>568868592>look inside>it's just Attila again
>>568868663Unless you're a retard introducing pseudo-lethality from Pharaoh is a good thing tho. Just roll it back if you want dogshit combat again.
>>568853981Paypiggies are mindslaves to their chosen corporation.
>>568868827Rerard dosen't evwn know it's the Pharaoh AP model not Warhammer one.
>>568868908No lethality. They are jist changing how armor affects damage reduction. In R2 heavy armor after a certain value falls off. The new model will make heavily armored units worth their cost.
>>568869159The critical hits he mentioned is a reskinned version of lethality is it not?
>>568867429Sounds awesome. Total War is severely lacking in large empire starts. It's all 1 province minor starting choices with the extremely rare 2 provinces for some faction.
>>568868857Dude what?>No sanitation.>No religion spread, religion unlocks buildings and effects.>Food is a resource in the way money usually is, not the Attila way where it's effectively just a capacity meter.>Five different "money" resources that can all be traded individually.>The diplomacy is fucking miles ahead of Attila.>The court system is radically different and if anything, more based on Three Kingdoms.>The royal traditions system of which Attila has nothing like.Pharaoh Dynasties is about as close to Attila as Attila is to Medieval 2, this is a dogshit take. The only even remotely similar point of similarity is that they both feature an invasion from roaming horde factions as the central thematic point of the period.
>>568868827>NOOOO! NOT MY 10 YEARS OLD MODERINOS! NOOOOOOO!!!
>>568869482this but unironically
>>568869240I assume?Pharaoh's damage formula is mostly the same as the rest of the series except for lethality and lethality mainly just interacts with weapon types and armour values in a static way like the existing armour pen formula does.
>>568869482>>568870296Para Bellum is the only good Rome 2 mod and it should get an update eventuallyMeanwhile it'll be a great time to do a good ol vanilla Rome 2 run when that launches
Can I get a QRD on Lizardmen army builds?The game says they have weak projectiles vs armor.They seem like a traditional army but with much much BIGGER support monsters. Playing dwarfs, empire and Helves gave me ranged spam brain.
I spent a long time not wanting to try Ogres because they didn't fit into my personal idea of high fantasy in my head, and now they are my favorite faction and its not close
>>568870835Para Bellum is barely above Radious tier
>>568870997early game spam sauruslate game spam big dinos
Are dwarf rangers worth recruiting? Both the bugman and normal variants. I get the impression I'm better off just using thunderers and grudge rakers. I got the brewery landmark building in my Ungrim campaign so I've been considering it.>>568871037I got Golgfaggot during the sale cause I heard he's one of the best campaigns.Never played ogres before, but I got other stuff I want to try first
>>568871138t. DEIsissyjust play paradox
>>568871321DEI has submods to make it more suitable for weenies, you know. You don't have to be afraid.
>>568870997>Early GameSkinkmanii to save money. A couple of Saurmanii to give you some sort of hammer. Second army ASAP>Mid GameSaurmanii (with shields). Used Blessed Spawns to give you some aces. Best are Saurmanii, Horned Ones, Ancient Salllies, and Stegadons (any variety).>End GameBlessed Saurmanii or Temple Guard (once you've got all the tech) + Dinos (preferably blessed).
>>568871256I haven't tried him yet but Greasus is one of the funnest experiences I've ever had in Total War, up there with ERE Attila and Otomo Shogun.
>>568871504but that breaks the mod, the supply line and population and culture handicap knee break is the whole damn pointAt which point why not play Para Bellum which is designed as an arcade experience with a much more simple supply and pop system that still makes the game deeper while adding a shit ton of content
>>568871504>>568871791Another important bit, Para Bellum battle length and lethality is much like vanilla, DEI is 10 hour engagements unless u tweak (break it) with submods
>>568871791>>568871945No, there's submods that remove the public order penalty from stationing troops in cities and make the battlefield combat faster, plus submods to change the TPY if the pace seems too slow. At that point DEI is objectively the better mod, from mechanics to faction design to unit graphics. Stop trying to shill Para Bellum lil bro, it's as pathetic as all the shilling the mod creator himself does.
>>568798692And everything shown so far proves its nothing like proper total war. Just dawn of war with more models.
>>568872121>just turn the mod into a parody of itself by stripping down everything it's meant to doPB is fine stop hating
>>568816003This guy is correct.
>>568872121the DEI pop system is kinda jank honestly
>>568872454DEI is so kino that all the reskin mods are made for it which means I get to curbstomp the Persians as an HD Alexander (another thing PB doesn't have). They aren't even in the same strata of quality.
>>568872536It uses the exact same base population system as PB, unironically. Both are tweaked versions of P++.
Why do YOU even keep playing total war in 2026? What makes it special? What itch does it scratch that other games don't?
>>568873904i don't even play total war this past few months.
>>568873904>Sandbox Campaign>Fun Battles>Fun Campaign mechanics>Great spectacleThere really aren't many other strategies game that do all this. CA might be trying to ruin this franchise, but the core concept is hard to beat.
>>568873904What other game has even halfway decent real time tactics battles? Every TW "killer" has sucked which means we're stuck with it.
>>568873904Playing on legendary+ironman and curbstomping ai without cheesing makes me feel smart.
>>568873904I want to paint maps but paradox games are kinda mid
>>568873904The satisfying feeling of building a nation and watching it's towns get bigger and it's people more prosperous, and the cool feeling of watching an army with cool armors in formation.
>>568870997>The game says they have weak projectiles vs armor.Razordons are the exception.Oxyotl buffs with Chameleon Skinks trades well will Chaos Warriors. Just watch out for Calvary
>>568873904Miao Ying. Can't live without her voice.
>>568875435dumb gooner
>>568875435Extremely nasal and obnoxious voices don't do it for me. Khalida on the other hand...
>>568870997One thing I cannot recommend enough is to get yourself some skink heroes early. They all ride huge dinosaurs once you get them levels. Imagine a steam tank with a space laser that's also a caster.As other anons have said, a solid core of melee infantry with supporting monsters and specialists is the name of the game. I'd highly recommend experimenting with what units you put into these supporting roles. Some highly effective options I often see forgotten include kroxigors, flying foreleech bola cavalry, and horned ones.
>>568875928>Skink Priests and Chiefs get Steggos and Ancient Steggos>Skink Oracles START with a Troglodon and get spells plus a bound comet >Scar-Vets turn into Carnosaurs that don't rampage.Fuck I love their bullshit hero line up.

>>568875836I will have Neferata's CUNT
>>568875578Who goons to a voice?It's soothing.
Pretty close to the final build. Final build would probably with a one more unit of birds. And maybe a gobbos with a throwing kitchen stuff to represent cooking
When news of the revolt reached the Emperor, Hadrian went mad. He sailed for Judea, followed by twelve Legions, and started killing every single Jew he found. No mercy was shown; no quarter was give. Hadrian would settle for nothing less than the complete destruction of Judea.
Man, I really wish that killing an army leader in battle actually wiped out the fucking army (pretty sure older TW did this). No wonder people just auto resolve shit
>>568879334>pretty sure older TW did thisthey didn't
>>568870997you play lizardmen to spam dinosaurs and the single unit that your LL buffskroq gar - saurusgorrok - also saurustiqtakto - flying unitsmazda - temple guard (they still kind of suck though)
>>568879334Name one real life battle where this happened
>>568870997You can build anything as them. If you want - salamanders + monsters to screen them + ripperdactyls to interrupt. You can go full big dinos. You can go full inf. Maybe a few big dinos for aggro + tons of razordons and salamanders + something to screen from cav
>>568873904I only play tww3 and I like seeing the entire world before me and watching stories play out
>>568873904I just like to goon myslef playing it.

Did they change the map for Bhashiva? The sea south of Ku'Gath's starting area looks different
>>568882653No, they changed the starting factions in that area for Tides of Torment but have not changed the settlements.
>>568881929Me
>>568817017>>568817271>>568817474Not that it justifies Caledor's idiocy in managing the situation, but one thing that bears mentioning is that the dwarf delegation to the Asur court started their visit by throwing an axe right at Caledor's head.Caledor still went full retard afterwards but that is a very poor way of opening a discussion with people who are ostensibly your allies.

>>568886614d-d-delete this, I'm 5' 8
>who cares you dumb fucking lorefag
I just read that unticking control large army means both you AND the enemy can only have 20 units. If that's correct isn't that kind of... stupid? It's basically like a mini-lightning strike. couldn't you just have 1 lord reinforcing you and tick it to delete the power of an entire army attacking you at once?
>>568887517Every day after Epaminondas was born was a humiliation ritual for Sparta.
>>568888493That's what Legend used to do.
I miss advisor...Now there is no one to tell me how my power rivals the chaos gods...
>>568888493Yes. That's why one of the biggest bits of advice going into Legendary is get a second lord asap. The other trick is main stack ambush with the second lord as bait. Works like a charm to give you easy auto-resolve victories that delete the enemy stack.
>>568889197Why did they get rid of Advisor-jiichan?
>>568888493>>568888989I wish I'd known about this before. I just easily beat a way bigger army. I never imagined the button just let you say "no" to reinforcements. I just assumed it was for people who didn't want to micro.

>>568899676Simply give him a tier 1 settlement with military building from Zhufbar and completely vassalize his entire faction :^)
>>568900092Tried going after him turn 4. That was a mistake. His capital was easy enough to take but leaving the Vamp minor alive was too much, especially when Ungrim was playing pussyfoot. Maybe I should kill the starting enemy and Zufbar first before going after Ungrim, but I feel like letting him expand into the Red Eyes will just causes more problems down the track. I just want to go fight the Empire. Crazy how many campaigns drag you away from your intended foe. My last Azhag campaign had me marching all into the Badlands dealing with Dwarfs before I got to even touch the Empire.

>>568901927>>568901858there are people who use discord for things other than making men with anime PFPs cum? couldn't be me
GET IN THERE SLAVE-THING
magic attacks bypass physical resistance, right? do flaming attacks too?
>>568894469Me too but then again I would never be able to meet her since I'm just a lowly German Gweilo.
>>568903646yesnoflame resistance is also, afaik, the only resistance that matters below zero ie having negative flame resistance increases the amount of damage you take past the base amount. Imrik and a few other people can stack it
>>568904209>flame resistance is also, afaik, the only resistance that matters below zerogoddammit ca
>>568905238No it's an important mechanic to give certain units like Trolls and Trees weakness to Fire. The main problem is that 90% Fire damage sucks because it double dips on resistance, being reduced by both physical and fire resistance.
>>568906282what i mean is that negative spell resistance should also get you more spell damage. same for physical
>legendary grudge to wipe out the Norscans requires you to own every single provincial capital in Norsca instead of just destroying the LLs so you can't sell the ones you can't protect or don't want to deal with to Kislevfuck OFF
>>568906953Yeah that makes sense.
ottoman invasion DLC eventually?
>>568853981Manchild GW paypiggers will always eat up whatever GW shits on their plate no questions asked
So what's the plan with Gorbad. Even after getting a Waagh! dealing with Thorgrim seems damn near impossible due to the AI's love of abusing underway stance and going after whatever settlement is undefended.
>remove Imrik like 20 turns ago>Aislinn has given him 2 settlements in Lustria>they show up having fought nothing and marched an army all the way to the Darklands, without that leaving their 2 settlements exposedThere really is nothing going on outside the player
>>568907383Unless they make the map really fucking huge, game will run into the same problem from Med2 The Turks capturing Constantinople in 1200's, with basic horse archers. A huge Renaissance expansion would be really good to add 100+ more years.
>>568907383>>568908717The game needs 3Kesque alternating time starts. Just don't be retarded with the choices this time.
>>568908570in wh2 if your army was good enough you could abuse this by declaring on distant major powers (I'm thinking mostly of Malekith and Thorgrim) who would then daisy chain armies into your territory on the other side of the map, letting themselves get owned by their LL neighbors despite having massive cheats. it was useful if you planned on playing past turn 100 because you wouldn't have to kill 50 armies
>>568909469I kinda miss the late game horrors of WH2
>>568881198That's a dreadlord. Also Malekith isn't charred at all according to the books. He has white hair and a normal face.
We will get a patch within the next 5 days.
We will get 5 days within the next 5 days.
>>568910643Don't get greedy.
I've never seen a single unit more accurate when shooting at the enemy than my cannons are at friendly firing my gyrocopters
>>568911152There are major rivalries between dwarfs who use more tried and true technology and those who use newfangled tech they barely understand (has only been studied for a few hundred years)Ka-zoooooook
>>568911276guess there's also huge unresolved beef between my spearmanies and the rocket crews
>>568911412the rocketeers overheard one of your spearmanii (shields) questioning why you were sending so much gold to the Karaz Ankor instead of spending it on rooting out Chaos or defending the Empire's borders, and decided to deal with their lack of patriotism
>>568894469if Miao Ying were real she wouldn't be slim due to all those enemy soldiers she eats every battle
>>568911539damn now I feel bad for insulting my rocket crew...
How would YOU rework the daemon prince?
>>568911828I wouldn't. I'd spend the money on coke, hookers and more stuff for the greenskins.
>>568911828Don't people only not like it because it's a hard campaign?
>>568911964No one actually likes it
>>568873904MP is actually fun now that they added the domination battle mode
>>568912032Because?
>>568911828>rework his bodyparts>give him items>give him the monogod mechanics but not just a shitty version of it>rape belakor mechanic
>>568873904Shit be poppin off
>>5689118280 unique identity
>>568912207DoC roster has a lot of awkward issues even if it's quite powerfulThe one campaign mechanic he does have completely fucks up your ability to get magic items for your other lordsHe is supposed to be a self insert character but almost no one relates to some ugly monster character and those that do are already playing beastmen/nurgleThere are probably more fuck ups that i'm not remevering right now
Daniel's biggest flaw is that he's supposed to be the ultra customizable self insert, but he's actually some guy names Yuri with a very well defined backstory he won't shut up about
>>568911828turn him into Nakai (chaos) so his faction 100% revolving around him and having no other distinguishing features is less egregious
Oh damn mapwide vigor that's actually crackedI was just pressing it for the noise
>>568913092the 16 leadership is also good, for me the hidden goat is the grail reliace
I just want more mods to convert the LLs into qt 3.14 fantasy waifus.
>>568913987dopamine receptors status?
>>568908570>Aislinn has given him 2 settlements in LustriaI'm 110% certain AI Aislinn can't give settlements to the elf factions like we can. When AI Aislinn takes soemthing, it goes to some new minor high elven faction. Something like marine seas patrol something.
>>568914089Doing good at the moment.High on kratom.
>>568914116Nope. Saw him give it to Imrik in my Mazdamoney campaign.
>>568906282fire and magic should really just be another type of damage, in addition to normal and AP
>>568914187you okay, buddy?
>>568904209>>568905238To elaborate on this fire resistance can't go below zero eitherInstead the game uses fire weakness(regen/flammable effect/ror skullcrushers) and that does stack below 0 and counteracts resitance
>>568914840Well enough! Playing as this for this playthrough!https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2996040002
>>568915037are you sure? that sounds overcomplicating a simple calculation for no reason
>>568915102how are archaon-chan's voicelines?
>>568915472They're just Slaanesh cultist ones. I don't pay any attention to what's being said for the most part. My brain just hears a woman's voice when I'm clicking about and interprets everything as normal.
>>568914116Nah I've seen him rush Star Tower in Lustria in like three different campaigns, usually Alarielle gets it thoughPretty nice that the mechanic isn't just off for AI like a lot of them
>>568916819Hm.. I've seen Aislinn all over the world and he always just makes settlements for his minor faction while being at war with Alarielle and Tyrion.
>>568914116he gave me a settlement in Lustria while I was playing Imrik, part of Luthor Harkon's starting province iirc
>>568915328That's exactly what it is but what else can you expect from CA
>>568865485What the fuck would they even put in a hypothetical warhammer fantasy 4? All the starter factions in 3 were already made up out of thin air. Well unless they go THAT routeBut I'm assuming this general would shit its pants if it came to that.
>>568917562Wh4 would have to be porting the game to the new engineIf they do THAT it will be a complete disaster, after all every game about THAT has been a massive failure so far
>>568917562lets say they just port the whole game to the new engine and remove the big retard bugs. i would pay 69.99 for that
>>568918141I don't think it's really the fault of THATRoR could've been a 40k game and it still would've flopped. It was just really badly made. Not even lazily made or anything, just bad decisions on top of bad decisions. Arguably the best part was the story...
Why the FUCK can I only recruit mortal but not demon units with daniel? What the fuck is this...
Mine-mine
>>568918635That's why there are two types of main settlement building, you made the mortal oneMortals run instead of dying so they're smoother
>>568918890Are you trying to be funny? They are not called "Demons of Chaos" because they recruit mortal units... DANIEL CANNOT recruit mortal units. He only has demons but for some reason he can't recruit demons anymore and only gets fucking marauders.There is no 2nd settlement building, you dedicate a settlement to a god you fkn tard. Daniel isn't a mono god faction.
>>568918890THISis his roster. He was never able to recruit mortal humans because he is DEMONS.But for some reason it's all mortal units.
>>568919374did they fuck him up with the last update?
I found the bloodletter. They are hidden behind the fkn chaos warriors.. WHY ARE THERE CHAOS WARRIORS
>>568895026>Wargaming is still a cheap hobby.Yeah people like to joke about plastic crack etc but most actual hobbies are pretty expensive. People are used to vidya where you can get thousands of hours of entertainment out of a single $30 dollar purchase but most actual hobbies where you actually do shit besides staring at a screen aren't like that.Friend on mine is into Koi fish and whatnot, can casually drop 3k on a single fish sometimes, let alone housing and food and whatever the fuck else goes into keeping on of em. Even the fattest of gw paypiggies couldn't hope to match that with miniatures.
>>568919452Apparently. Even the garrison has mortal units.I disabled all my cheats and it's still the same. His entire faction is just broken from the ground up.
>>568919685and nobody noticed yet, because you are the first person to play daniel since ToT
Is Daniel still god awful to play?
>>568919242>DANIEL CANNOT recruit mortal units.see >>568918635
>>568919816Yeah apparently..>>568919982Mhm, very funny, I kek'd a lot.
>>568919834He's a great introduction to the third game and mongods factions imo:>"wow theres so much choice of units">try them all out over the course of a campaign>"damn, I really like units from x god, I feel like the rest are ok but I'm really having fun with these"> push to the endgame>"I was really hoping for more buffs fore these x god units I liked by now, but oh well"And then you play the monogod faction of the flavour you like and actually have fun with the mechanics that play into the flavour you like.
why does Daniel start with 3 Khorne units, 3 Tzeentch units, and 3 Nurgle units, but only 2 Slannesh units? Obviously the fix is that he needs a second unit of daemonettes in his starting army
>>568919374Thats his multiplayer roster, in SP you have to earn the demon units. Khorne and slaanesh have no low tier demon units besides furies so you have to take marauders and dogs.
>>568921387I have played daniel before many years ago and he never had any mortal units and his AI also doesn't bring mortal units.
>>568921241The Slaanesh Seeker unit is actually good unlike all 3 Nurgle units.
>>568921452He has always started with the dogs, at least when I started playing.A lot of the mortal units are bad in autoresolve so he replaces everything with Regiments of Renown by the time you meet him
>>568921913I know he always had the dogs but I wouldn't call those regular mortal units.
hm..
>>568899061He gives stormvermin frenzy.
first time i ever bothered with allied recruitement. i got some horsemen of belakor and then throgg killed him. i still have the horsemen
>>568922928This is their home now.
>>568922928Throgg seemingly being one of the stronger AIs now is bizarre to me
>MP is actually fun now
which unit is the strongest unit
>>568923062Holy seethe
>>568923254Scissors
>>568923254Aspiring Champions with all research online
>>568907324>The Dwarf cannot even conceptualize the idea of abandoning the settlements for free
Posting basedjaks is the lowest form of conversation
>local schizo already about to throw a fit because he saw the 13th and 16th letters of the alphabet togetherWhat's the deal with him? Did he get ass raped so hard it left him forever traumatized? Did his favorite unit get nerfed? Is he just like this?
>>568921241The 3rd Slaanesh daemon unit is the troon actually playing Daniel.
MPfags need to fuck off, but only because they think their minigame takes precedence over IE. The guy posting coal doesn't speak for singlecels like me. And it's known that even the shitposter who constantly starts flame wars over MP and SP doesn't play either and just wants (You)s.
>>568923043people are blaming it on ToT but even before that Norscan LL AI always tended to do really well. I think whatever ToT did just makes it so that Throgg giga highrolls more often than Wulfrik now
>>568924624Who's the Kerillian of Total War Warhammer?
Are you ready to accept the gospel of 40k and convert to the worship of the Great Powers?
I give up, Daniel is too fucking trash. I have to manually fly him in circles throughout the entire battle because a single marauder horseman is enough to kill him in 5 salvos.. and he just managed to eat a stray fireball again and died instantly...This is so ass
>>568926361I am white irl so i will be playing eldar
>>568926361Kill chaos niggers, behead chaos niggers, immolate chaos niggers, lynch chaos niggers, shoot a chaos baby in the head, roundhouse kick a chaos nigger into the sun, kill chaos niggers.
>>568926536Another Total Noob™ filtered by the Challenge of Daniel...
>>568926635Challenge is worthless. A game is about having fun and Daniel just is not.
>it's another the ai moves exactly around my circle to avoid the ambush and walks into the city turn

does anyone actually care about Eldar outside of the cute waifus?

Seeing Eldartards seethe forever once their horde race is revealed to be irredeemable dogshit like all hordes before them will be of the purest kino
>>568927451>The imperium is literally ROMENo that's Ultramar. The Imperium the Emperor built was based on the Byzantine Empire down to the names of units.
>>568927464>how do people stand using gunpowderThey don't, both of these factions just load up in a corner of the map with a bunch of artillery and a few spearmanii and the game just plays itself
>>568926802Stay within reinforcement range of your city.
>>568927678Only if you choose to play that way. Empire, Cathay and even Dwarfs can be played in an interactive combined arms fashion.
>>568927725i positioned my self into a fucking choke point and left the city as bait. i reloaded to look closely at how that happened (and to save scum). the ai walks through my army
>>568927464Cathay doesn't use gunpowder. It's all dragon guards and maybe a balloon and sentinels
