I think the choice is obvious.
So kislev and Cathay are no longer canon?

I used to like Eldar cause their armour looked cool. But seeing all these gross coomers turned me off elves forever.
>>568931615I like nids cause they make nom nom munch
Watching barbarian elite try to square up against legionaries and get effortlessly rolled is infinitely amusing.
>playing sayl>turn 20 get the crimson lab>"wow high risk high reward this could be really interesting">turn 23 get this plague in the lab province>have my armies avoid the province to not die>>>>fucking khazrak comes out of nowhere and contracts the disease >starts running around at random infecting all of my armies>the mortis engine effect absolutely buttfucks all my units in manual battles>settlements are falling apart with random buildings getting damaged and having zero growth whatsoever>10 turns of attrition with no way to replenish means all my units are dying nonstop>0 turns of immunity means even if they get cured the disease can infect the province and then reinfect the army on the same turn>AI is pants on head retarded and gets infected while attacking my regions, starts spreading everywhere>because of anti player bias the attrition is cut by 80% for them so it does nothing to them but if I even think about attacking back my army will get infected and diethis location is so broken it actually ruined my campaign, what the fuck? I had to go back and restart from turn 20 to save the campaign, nothing else in the game has ever made me have to do that.
Shoooooh! Hah! NORSCA!!

>>5689325322026. can't wait for it to be cryptic as fuck and to have no idea what is going on. (no, really, I can't wait.)
not playing 40K Total War until they have Chaos Votann
>>568931961>literally me
>>568929854miss that githttps://files.catbox.moe/zoerfk.webmhe may have been a war criminal, but he was a funny war criminalwar became much more boring after the monke made him go on that special landing operation
>>568932760Despite what the description says, all 3 plagues are the same, but they have a 5, 10, and 15 turn timer respectively. The weak plague only infects the lab settlement so it can be mostly avoided, anon got the 2nd tier based on the 10 turn timer and it probably hit a few provinces he didn't see at first which spread to enemy armies/his army. >>568932315The crimson lab is one of 2 unusual locations i remove on sight, the other being the khorne location that declares war on 10 random factions unless you declare a new war every 5ish turns. The chaos locations suck ass compared to the neutral/order ones. The only ones I really like are the abandoned forge and the dark altar that both give bonus stats on recruits, their downsides are really insignificant (chaos corruption for the forge and "1% chance to level a demon LL to 50 on recruit" which is fun)
>>568933206Yeah story really isn't the focus of any of this, a guy running into a marine's knife like it's fixed into a wall is better than yappingAlso the teaser made the xenos factions look cool as hell too which is very heartening
>>568932945Oh yeah everyone used to get mad as hell that I would hit a place then fleet of foot away when they got there to defendI was the cunt of the friend group for sure
>>568934173man, i hoped the third tier would actually infect the whole world at once. i kept the thing around for a 150 turns campaign but it never happened
>>568929042do you think the chinawoman is sexy?
>>568932315imagine not disabling those shitty locations that are just there to sabotage you
>>568934489It does infect most settlements in game IIRC. Once that happens the campaign is basically over for the player, like the cabal location's last tier. Like the Sayl anon said it fucks you over way worse than it does the AI, even though the AI is too stupid to deal with plagues.
>>568931961not enough words, needs more dumb quotes
>>568931531god the new lasguns fucking suck so much
>>568934523For me its the qt3.14 Alchemist(of Shang-yang).
>>568935641It's funny because they're right
>>568936485I prefer nan-gau bitchesthey are so cute in-game
>>568935641"I really want to fuck an elf" is all you need for eldar fans.
>>568938195Why only girls are allowed to use shotguns and sniper rifles in china?
>>568936485She wears a mask to hide horrible scars like all metal wizards btw
>>568938669Hate eldar wneches that's why I'm hyoed for Dark Heresy. Eldar women are disgusting and I'm not suprised they are a dying species. But the Eldar aesthetic is impeccable and that what I love about them.

>>568939568That would make them even cuter but no. They are wearing masks because BigD outlawed them. But based Zhao lets them operate under his protection.
eldar aesthethic is some bionices shit this shit lame asf cuz
>>568940679Nice trailer but it really shows the Mechanicus could body the Necrons if they would dust up their old Thallax cohorts.
>>568941750'Dusting up' is tech heresy
>>568941916It's only heresy if they lose
>>568931961Oh sure its the ELDAR players making all the >eldar female Imperial male.smut
eldar women belong to imperial men
>>568944212It is tho, they just got into deep and actually like Eldar. Same with people who got too deep into Cathay with CFIM memes
>>568944312>not even augmented; manlets

>>568946784The true purpose of Gelt's expedition to Cathay
I can't even begin to imagine how dire the 40k DLC situation is going to be.
I talk to my units. When I click to give them an order I also verbalise the order and then when they ask me why my orders are what they are I explain my battle plan for that given battle out loud. Am I weird?
>>568947215You just know every glup shitto mehreen chapter will get its own DLC.
>>568947215this >>568947330 and also every guard regiment, if you think undead got shafted in the Fantasy trilogy then you aren't ready for how CA are about to treat the xenos.
>>568947239Based but only if you RP as the LL you play.
Loli. Legendary. Lords.
>>568928883>Gwynn>secretly has a huge appetite
>>568947501>undead got shafted in the Fantasy trilogyPeople rightfully called CA out on favoring Undead. There was a time where Mortal Empires was nothing, but undead realms. VCounts even cucked Empire out of a FLC Lord, just so CA could add stronk womyn LL finally
kek wtf this is more fantasy than fantasy
>>568948938These however are completely accurate to reality

>>568949513>WMAF isn't made by aisian fujoshi'sWMAF is made by AFs all the time. To All The Boys I've Loved Before is a prime example.

>>568952210imagine if Legend ends up as lead dev for total war 40K
I still think it is funny that Bhashiva is supposed to focus on Tiger Warriors but her Jade Warriors are actually more powerful than anything the other Cathayan lords gets.
>>568948938they're fucking retard strong too, easily capable of getting their value against urban cohort
How many cycles?
>>568948938https://totalwar.fandom.com/wiki/Yubtseb_Elephantsback when TCAL had a sense of humour
>>568948938The concept of hurling heads to demoralize enemies is attested in antiquity, even if a unit of them is absurd. The screaming women and literal Roman ninjas, plus Egypt being The Mummy tier in its unit selection, are better examples of Rome 1's hilariousness. Europa Barbarorum exists for a reason.
>>568944312>normal humans get executed if they so much as talk to a xeno>space marines don't even have functional penisesthat leaves only Rogue Traders and Inquisitors as being legally allowed to breed Eldar women, not a lot of peoplebesides the only half-eldar I know became a Ultramarine, and it's better not to breed than risking having a child become a ultracuck marinecel librarianthe shame and humiliation of that
>>568956182the emperor alone impregnated at least 10 000 eldar
why do walls do this? Can't they make it so if adjacent wall section is destroyed delete pillar = 1

>>568956182>space marines don't even have functional penisesSpace wolves are described as sleeping with women. So that's false.
what the fuck skaven got hands or maybe there's something wrong with my stackslayer pirates kinda get wiped fast I think
The factions mechanic in rome 2 is such fucking garbage>constantly have an X% chance part of your country will just rebel>but if you get rid of the opposing factions in civil war you can be done with them right?No it just spawns a new one to take their place>well what if you just shove their family members to the back and never use themThe game still gives them enough influence that they'll always get territory when they secede
>>568958062just like real Rome
women belong to men
>>568957859slayers are a bad matchup against skaven unless he comes at you with a monster stack
>>568958062i dont even know how it works but just click on the chars of the parties and spam gifts n bribes n they never rebel
>>568957859slayers get raped by any faction with good missile units
>>568958389I'm playing on legendary and the head of one of them is a fucking pacifist now, he has -40 loyalty
>>568958389also realistic
>>568958062>constantly have an X% chance part of your country will just rebelThey do not, you're just shit at appeasing them. Anything above either -10 or -5 loyalty (can't remember which) removes rebellion chance entirely. You should be spamming gather support the entire game anyways until you fully control the senate, civil wars are a wet fart at that point.
>>568958789I shouldn't need to appease them, they should be dead.
Man I always forget how terrible Nurgle feels to play is unless you play Tamhurkhan
>>568959284Then change to a government type where you can purge or deliberately start a civil war to kill them bitch. Yeah a new party emerges from a civil war eventually but they start out sucking dick, you gain tons of senate seats for winning and you're protected from a civil war for several turns.
>>568959521Changing to an empire isn't an option until like halfway through the game because you need imperium 5 or something.
>>568959923If you're in the early game why are you complaining? Early game civil wars are easy to handle because you have a very small set of characters in each party so you know exactly who is going to rebel and can hobble them.
>>568960105Because it's an annoying mechanic that adds nothing to the game but frustration and tedious micromanagement and hobbles you in a completely arbitrary way whenever a civil war occurs.
>>568960294I- is that a... reloading animation? AIIIE I'M GOING INSANE SAVE ME NIGGERMAN
>>568960305you gotta simulate roman infighting somehow, its a big part of their mythos
Why Cathay feel so lame now?This is going to sound dumb, but Cathay feels like it has become the "ITS MA'AM" faction.There's no testosterone in it. Feels really silly. I don't know. I understand its a fantasy setting, but honestly, there is something so offputting about MA'AM energy in everything.
>>568960294>dawi-zhaar animationsthat's a groodge
>>568960305If you don't want to micromanage then be prepared to fight civil wars. Big civil wars can be fun in their own right. They were added to keep the middle game and late game interesting when you start steamrolling and are thematic to the period.
>>568960470Rome 1 did that infinitely better by making it multiple actual major factions competing nonviolently until the happening.
>>568960582>Why Cathay feel so lame now>nowThey always were lame. And the cringe rewrites their addition forced on the setting are a tragedy.
>>568960783They feel sterile and flawless. There's no mud and blood to them. Everything is pretty and perfect. Strong waaaamen everywhere.>uh actually its stronger than the Empire>actually its more populous>its super cool with no flaws led by magical dragonsNot out of place in Age of Shitmar.
>>568960703Splitting the Roman faction three ways into different pajama colors as if Italy was literally divided into three for three different families to rule, all while purple pajama guys hung around Rome, was hilariously dumb and part of Rome 1's jank, alongside bronze age Egyptians. I'll take civil wars over that, thanks. Just gather support and stop whining.

Why did Age of Sigmar flop outside tabletop?
>>568961035Giving me complete control over competing families until one of them arbitrarily decides to be independent is no less stupid logically and is far more annoying mechanically.

>>568960582>Asian faction>Most effeminateReally makes you thonk
Total War Warcraft when?
>>568960975For me it's the Tomb King's new lore showing jade warriors already existing 2000 years into the past with all their iron armor while Nehekara just discovered bronze smiting.
>>568961192Dogshit lore and setting, fun tabletop game and good looking models is the only thing it has going for it
>>568961349Controlling one faction all together makes far more sense mechanically and historically because that's how Rome actually did things dipshit. A family finally choosing to disobey the Senate's orders and seizing control of provinces where they have influence also makes sense when they get pissed off enough. As the Rome 2 families get more random shittos in it as time passes they become more like factional parties in the Senate than literal families. I'm not going to claim it's perfectly historical but it's more fucking logical than how Rome 1 did it. Every faction has to deal with some political system as well, unlike Rome 1 where pretty much every faction that wasn't one of the main 3 was half baked without a Senate tab, especially Carthage which literally was a republic too in real life.
>>568961192It never really moved outside of tabletop. There's been one bad game and some mobile shit. They're not really pushing anything good from BL or Warhammer+. But then they're not putting out anything really good from 40k either. Age of Sigmar RPG, Soulbound is really good, but it's still tabletop.
>>568961982The tomb kings discovering gunpowder from cathayans was in the Nagash book
kinda wanna gift troll country + the river to katarin cause shes hot and I want a loyal human ally + it feels weird holding sacred kislev territory but I fought too hard for it, maybe later does feeding the AI gold help it survive? or not much?
I like CathayI like their flawlessness and how they feel so above everyone elseI love that they are so powerful and populousI love how strong and powerful women lead themIt makes it feel so much hotter when I conquer them with my ogre hordesThe thought of subjugstong such a powerful and flawless nation makes me erectEvery time I battle their dragon matrairch I set the AI to its easiest so I can goon easierSo I can pretend their tactics stand no chance against pure masculinityI try to always save dragon bitch last and make sure to surround her with as much ogres as I canI then begin to imagine the scene of her being held down and forced to service hundreds of ogre cocks before she miraculously escapes or is drowned in meat and semenGod putting them in their place makes me so hard
>>568962087The senate did not have complete control over what the families did in real life, it just rewarded them with land rights and gave them directives in war. The families still spent their funds mostly independently and pursued wars mostly on their own and acquired direct control of military forces through their own political maneuvering.
I'm gonna go and play Rise of the Republic to remember how glorious ROMA actually was before it was destroyed by dictators.
>>568962839Cathay belongs to the brayherds fatso.
>>568962793it does help, you can gift them gold until their economic strength turns to very strong. htough kislev isn't a loyal ally, you're better off making a friendship with golgfaggot
>>568963345ew not gonna make friends w ogresgonna honor the old alliance and later feed goldfag's lands to karl
>>568963565>gonna honor the old alliancei'm not a lorefag, but is that even the case?
>>568963673i mean idk if its the case for malekai he's kinda an outsider but humans and dwarfs have a 3000 year old alliance thanks to sigmar's shenanigans and love for dwarfs
>>568946784>>568947060so this is what the Golden Order is getting up to these days...
I can't fucking wait to doomstack the Leman Russ
>>568963970i mean, isn't just men of the empire. bretonia, kislev, cathay are different things
>>568964042Why not go all in with a baneblade stack?
>>568962852The centuriate assembly had complete control of authorization of war and peace in real life Rome, wtf are you talking about. The appointed consuls for each year were also the ones who announced a levy when a war was declared and usually directly lead that raised legion themselves, with imperium sometimes being extended past a consul's appointed year if a war dragged on long enough. Later on governors of provinces could assume military control of legions through the medium of appointed legati, but nearly every governor in the republican period was a proconsul or propraetor, which means former office holder. This gained prestige for their family to continue politicking in Rome but these families didn't literally control that land, the governorships had term limits like anything else and formal control of those lands was legally maintained by Roman state. You genuinely sound like you're trying to argue for Rome 1's nonsensical portrayal of Rome.
>>568964136yeah true, no fuckin idea about kislev-dwarf relations, but I like to think they're tight w all humans
>>568962725>Age of Sigmar RPG, Soulbound is really good, but it's still tabletop.But it's also decidedly less popular than WFRP or the 40k RPGs
>>568964270ogres larping as any other faction is the coolest thing ever. there really needs to be a special larper unit for every faction, just like the eshin maneater
>>568962852>>568964247And also, family ties had little to do with Roman infighting at that point, political party ties did. Which is famously how Scipio Aemilinaus' own cousin constantly attempted to hobble his political ambitions.

>>568956629They actually can't. It's an engine problem lmao.
>>568964247>authorization of war and peace in real life RomeAnd the generals mostly decided how they would carry out the military campaigns, the senate usually doing little more than saying "take these men, go to this general region, fight these people".The governors deciding what to do with the land most of the time, that being the point of delegating governorship in the first place.The game is halfway making you play as "the senate" and halfway making you play primarily as a chosen family, with the others being depicted as something between subordinate families and ill behaved NPCs that exist purely to inconvenience you.But the other families should be competing with you and are instead arbitrarily granted power despite you nominally having complete control over everything they do.The system that simplifies it in the enjoyable way of the senate telling you what to do and governor titles are abstracted as you getting the land you conquer while the other families are competitors in this race is infinitely better than just giving them to you as subordinates that occasionally try to kill you or demand your constant attention.
normal campaign/very hard battles the best difficulty setting?
>at war with Throgg while he fights off Wulfrik from the other end>one settlement away from wiping him out>during the turn end he beats Wulfrik's main army and confederates the entire rest of Norsca
>>568955774I think it's less of the idea that the head hurlers are fighting as a unit, and more the specific details that they are capable of launching the heads 200 feet in the air to hit moving targets with high-angle arcs and are, like, four times as lethal as a javelin, that make it absurd
>>568967913legendary / vh is the best but if you want to stomp then normal/vh is the best in wh3, yes, or hard battle difficulty if you think enemies juking projectiles is stupid. (I'm assuming they don't do that on Hard? I don't actually know, I only play on legendary/vh these days and they've changed the battle AI multiple times since the release of 3)
>>568967275>And the generals mostly decided how they would carry out the military campaigns, the senate usually doing little more than saying "take these men, go to this general region, fight these people".Yes, that is generally how ancient wars are fought. They are still constrained in their imperium at all by the Senate's approval and if they overstepped their bounds they would be recalled.>The governors deciding what to do with the land most of the time, that being the point of delegating governorship in the first place.They had leeway with certain things, but incorrect, they could not just do anything. They were constrained by mandates from the Senate and Roman laws. Governors were charged and convicted all the time for pissing off the Senate. The governors assigned to provinces were also almost never the general who conquered it.>The system that simplifies it in the enjoyable way of the senate telling you what to do and governor titles are abstracted as you getting the land you conquer while the other families are competitors in this race is infinitely better than just giving them to you as subordinates that occasionally try to kill you or demand your constant attention.No, it is not. It is stupid to literally divide Rome into separate factions because that is anathema to Rome's actual political system and how it viewed itself as a state. You, the player, have certain absolute power over the entire faction (as in ordering generals or constructing buildings in cities) in the same way you're able to brainhack generals into commanding the way you want them to rather than according to their traits. That's basic game design. To keep the faction from imploding as disparate interests behind the scenes diverge is where you have control over your own family or the party representing the king/leading aristocrats in other factions in the game. This is all fairly standard shit seen in most RTS games with a campaign map, for instance Paradox's own Imperator Rome.
i can cast touched by the moon on allies. lmao
>>568967913Depends on your level of domination the map. If I have half the world and the armies to take the other half upping the difficulty might make things more entertaining. Starting off with a very hard or legendary is just going to give you impossible scenarios that will force you to chese
>>568967946Now you have a reason to conquer all of Norsca.
>>568967032Walls break cleanly in Rome 2 and Attila as far as I remember 3K, it's just a Warhammer issue.
>>568969145>"unfixable engine problem">look inside>only exists in Warhammer, every other Warscape engine game doesn't have itmany such cases!
>putting unbreakable on a broken unit leaves it broken at least until the spell wears offis it supposed to be like that?
>>568969468Something that is broken cannot be unbreakable as it has been broken. You were supposed to make it unbreakable before it broke, dummy
>>568969468unironically probably just makes it so the state can't change, same as how units with perfect vigor that get caught in forced march are still tired
>>568968612They had leeway with certain things, but incorrect, they could not just do anythingDidn't say they did, I said they decided what to do with the land most of the time as assigned governor. >The governors assigned to provinces were also almost never the general who conquered itIt is a convenient gameplay simplification that makes for a better game than the rivals you're supposedly in control of being arbitrarily assigned the lands you just conquered by the senate you are also in control of.>it is stupid to depict the roman republic as multiple families independently competing with each other for land and favor in the senate>it is not stupid to depict the roman republic as having one specific family rule over the senate and all other families and dictate exactly what everyone does until they arbitrarily decide to secede, the nation of rome being destroyed if the king family is ever killedThe other families/parties should be competing with yours, you should not start with outright control of the senate.

>>568969468kek
>>568969898>Didn't say they did, I said they decided what to do with the land most of the time as assigned governor.Partly, with Senatorial oversight and mandate, until they were reassigned. Your entire argument seems to hinge on the idea that somehow the historical Rome functioned as a loose federation with families slowly expanding their territory with permanent governorships while central authority in Rome was barely present. That's not how Rome worked.>It is a convenient gameplay simplification that makes for a better game than the rivals you're supposedly in control of being arbitrarily assigned the lands you just conquered by the senate you are also in control of.It's not just a simplification, it's something that didn't outright happen. I'm sorry, how are you arguing for Rome 1 being a better representation of Roman politics again?>The other families/parties should be competing with yours, you should not start with outright control of the senate.You don't, and you get debuffs representing your tenuous grip on things as a result. The fact that this total control doesn't result in generals outright refusing your orders or cities refusing to build a building you designate is simply to make the game actually fun to play. Once again, I don't understand how you don't get this. You made it sound absurd that Rome 2 is a midway abstraction between control of the faction as an omnipotent god and as a family or party jockeying for power when that's how grand strategy games like Paradox games generally fucking do it.

>>568971460>families slowly expanding their territory with permanent governorshipsI didn't say this.>It's not just a simplification"You are rewarded by the senate the permanent governorship of these lands" is a simplification for the sake of gameplay.>You don'tI do. I get to decide the armies they lead and where they go, I get to decide when wars start and end for everyone, I decide what is built in the cities they supposedly govern, I can decide when and if they even get married. I am in complete control of literally everything except what lands they're given and whether or not they decide to secede.>is simply to make the game actually fun to playMicromanaging secession chance and fighting little civil wars in randomly chosen parts of your empire is not fun. Managing your own realm and vying for the favor of the senate in competition with the other families is fun.
this is why rome fell. it's you guys' fault
>>568972928>Micromanaging secession chance and fighting little civil wars in randomly chosen parts of your empire is not fun. Managing your own realm and vying for the favor of the senate in competition with the other families is fun.It is fun when I get to play as the whole faction of Rome itself and see the whole breadth of factions in the game instead of being artificially isolated to a chunk of the game world based on the colored uniforms I picked. It is fun when my actual choices are what lead to a peaceful campaign or dynamic civil wars rather than a preset singular civil war that always happens when a bar gets too high. It is fun when this civil war mechanic is something every faction you play has to deal with rather than every faction not being named Rome being half-baked. You completely ignored my point about Paradox games doing it this exact way for a reason, just how I'm sure you'll ignore my next point that every RTW overhaul mod ditched the threeway family factional split because it's fucking stupid. I'm done arguing, the game gives you every tool to inflame or deal with civil wars and secession and when you learn them the political system is genuinely fun. It's fun in Attila too.

I love hearing about anons campaigns.I, too, am doing a Malakai campaign but I'm close to 100 turns in already and had a very different experience so the comparison is so interesting.I had no trouble with norsca because I paid goldfag to war dec on them (surprisingly cheap) however everyone in the chaos wastes declared on me except malus. Who ended up in an aliance with me because the chaos wastes are uninhabitable to me and he was the only faction bordering Archaon and company's territory.

>>568974076Why are you here schmolo?
>>568974076damn I'm sorry that sucks
>>568974076Which LL is your favourite?
>>568969145Kind of. If you go down a line breaking wall segments in Attila, several will break cleanly, then one will leave a pillar, then several will break cleanly, then 1 will leave a pillar.It does genuinely seem to be a persistent issue. In one of the M3 dev diaries they talked about issues with past games and walls specifically so I imagine it's probably just that their dev tools suck and they need to anchor walls segments with those pillar sections or something stupid like that.
>>568988964Nope. Only time there's wall segments remaining is if it's a tower or a place you can put an onager on the wall. Warhammer fucked it up, plain and simple. It is not an engine issue.
>>568981916I was planning to get some faster/flying monsters from them.But in the topic of slayers: I'm just stacking goblin hewer stacks, since I can recruit them from the same building as cannons and they benefit from research, adventure and slayer lord bonuses. Also the battles are really fast and simple since they're basically condensed thunderers that turn into slayers:>shoot enemy via cannon, prioritizing dangerous SEMs and ranged>enemy aproaches my hewer frontline/backline/anywhere>switch cannon to grapeshot>half their units melt in an instant from hewers>they enter melle with the "artilery">oops it's manned by 40 slayers each>the rest of the troop melt>the hewers throw another volley if the enemy routs, so they will NOT be coming back>alternatively the slayers fight to the last man so even if I lose, it's quick and devastating for the enemyLots of fun for a single t3 building comp, so just spawning a stack in a newly conquered territory has been my go-to reinforcement strategy.
>>568990254In warhammer 3 you can basically only break places where you can place ladders, gatehouses, and towers themselves.Pretty clear that they just made the ladder segment the "breakable" segment and called it a day. Of course, it's just the inside of the ladder segment that breaks, the building is fundamentally invincible just like the gatehouse and towers and what not.
>>568990254Also Warhammer has these stupid indestructible castle segments that frequently block both attackers and defenders. Which to be fair, Med 2 has sometimes, but very rarely and I think only on larger castle maps.Warhammer maps are terrible in general. I just went back to Attila recently, and holy shit it's like playing a completely different franchise.

>>568993251They will, you're delusional.
>>568990254hope they changed the maps to be like this in the siege rework (soon tm). I remember having my singular entity units phased and stuck in a non breakable wall because their animation was too close
>>568993459I'm talking about the oblivious normies that CA hopes will fund their next steaming pile of shit, not normie 40k fans>>568993679>Normies will buy recolors first over the space orc, space elf, space undead factionsShut the fuck up
>>568957796They just cuddle.
>>568991550Attila's siege maps are so good they successfully gaslit the entire fanbase into thinking sieges are normally good and WH is an outlier.
>>568994592>Normies will buy recolors first over the space orc, space elf, space undead factionsYes? Normies will like the orcs, elves and undead to be in the game, but to the normie they are just enemies you kill and the space marines are the main characters. They won't buy them because they don't want to play the horde factions.
>>568998779Sieges are in fact normally good and WH is an outlier. The only games to have bad sieges before WH were Empire and Napoopan.

yes you did
>>568991550>Breech is incredibly narrow>Pathfinding decides half the unit will climb the walls instead to get inside>Now half the unit is fighting whichever cunts are on the walls>Unit is strung out all over the placeIt's almost as bad as Rome 1. How did they design siege pathfinding this bad?
>>569005416If you don't put down ladders they won't climb walls.
>>569006279Which also requires me to ignore the units on the walls. Just leave them there. Sieges have never been great, but I don't think they've ever been this retarded.
>>569006502That doesn't compute. Why do u need ladders for wall units?If you play shooting or flying factions, you rape em off the walls.If you play melee factions, you charge the gate with your entire army and whichever ranged units are on the walls will maybe get half a salvo off and then haul ass off the walls to hide somewhere inside the city. Some lonely spear guys might go up onto the walls but they can't shoot.. so u just.. well moshpit at the gate till they are forced to come down.
>>569006502All I did was move Aislinn and a group of archers into the same continent of the wall and the entire wall infantry is fleeing... It's that simple.
Clean walls 30 seconds into thebattle...

Holy shit Gorbad is suffering in the early game. Is the solution still 'Erd Mentality and 19 squigs?
>>569009005pretty sure it got slightly nerfed, aren't trolls good with a few tactics? Also never underestimate the boarboys charge on a hill
>>569009307The problem is getting both boars and trolls seems to take to long. Thorgrim shits out like 3 full stacks of T1-3 Dawi by turn 15 if I let him live. But rushing him is proving challenging because of the munted geography, slow movement of waaghs! and inability to use underway stance because lmaointerceptednoreinforcingwaaaghforyou.
>>569009417yeah the start is a huge gamble on successful ambushes and/or Skarsnik going nuts
>>569009642Incredible how they've managed to fuck up the Greenskin feeling and fantasy for 10 years straight. I don't think there's any other faction that has felt this bad for this long unfortunately. I get that they are super balanced and competitive in multiplayer, but damn to the feel like trash at the start of the campaign.
>>569009991yes it's a bit strange, you got plenty of fun things like the Waag magic but the early units are CBT
I forgot how fucking complicated Aislinn is.. How do I get this shit again? I can't find a building for it.
>>569010316Dragonship Supplies can be earned within Elven Colonies by using the Elven Trade resource.
>>569010875I can read but that's a fucking lie. There is one locked building that makes 3 per turn.. I need several thousands.
>>569010993Did you occupy the colony or make it an outpost
Well you piece of shit of an AI, my quest tells me to kill him so eat my dick. >>569011091Pretty sure the game doesn't allow u to make it an outpost. I just found the building.. makes 200 a turn. Very good.
Yep, it's that time again.
>>568966860
Brutally kunning or kunningly brutal?
>>569014757So how did this go
>>569009417For me, its Nasty Skulkers + redline buffs for them asap. They have high AP, very fast attacks (not shown on unit card) and +damage when winning melee combat. 3 on each flank. Since dorfs dont have any cavalry you can usually wrap them up on flank, letting them shred dwarf infantry with damage buff + backcharge. With redline their buff also activates against quarrelers, so you can send 1 against quarrelers on both sides to get the backline to stop shooting as they scramble backwards. Your archers are nigh useless against dwarves anyways (its all high armor + possibly shielded), so replace those archers with Skulkers.
>>569015834interesting, thanks!
>>568990864alright. sounds fun. i might finally go for a dwarf campaign
>>569015093Iz goin a'right anon. Iz goin a'right.
>>569012392brave man
>>569015834Funny, I know Skulkers are great but I still always sleep on then. Not that I could afford to wait around for Tier 2 as it was.
i started a malaka campaign, throgg or thrott first?
>>569018420kill the rat first
>>569009991They had their brief time in the sun and that was of course not allowed. They're the only faction I can think of who got a DLC with a rework that simply nerfed all their good aspects.

>>569020017What's the unusual location anon? Maybe it will be a good one
>>569017724You shouldmt. Their Stalk means that on top of blending shit they can get into backline without being shot at or interceoted by stubby dwarf infantry before its too late. By the time enemy can see them, Skulkers are already close enough to cause ranged units to fall back.
>>569020996>good relations between chorfs and dorfsis that even possible, or does the game outright refuse it like beastmen/empire diplomacy

>>569021425goat quarallels might have carried this fight thoughwhy the fuck are they called that anyway>The arrow-like projectiles of a crossbow are called bolts or quarrels. hm
>>569021631absolute GOATs>From Middle English quarrel (“bolt for an arbalest, crossbow, or siege engine; (figurative) seductive glance, temptation to sin; needle (possibly one square in cross-section); small (perhaps square-shaped) opening in window tracery; a cushion (perhaps square-shaped)”) [and other forms],[5] from Anglo-Norman quarel, quarele, quarrel, Middle French quarrel, and Old French quarel, quarrel, carrel (“crossbow bolt; floor tile or paving stone (rectangular- or square-shaped); small glass pane for windows”) (modern French carreau (“crossbow bolt; a tile; windowpane; a square”)), from Late Latin quarellus, quadrellus (“crossbow bolt; paving stone; a tile”), from Latin quadrum (“a square; square section; regular shape or form”) + -ellus (variant of -ulus (suffix forming diminutive nouns, indicating small size or youth)).[6] Quadrum is ultimately derived from quattuor (“four”), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷetwóres (“four”).

>there is no peace among the starshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0hD3KBwoiADo you think CA is in cahoots with CA marketing team? I've seen this phrase being used more in recent marketing by GW
>>569030314thats a recent book anthology shi by GW
>>568999335The only TW games with good sieges are Rome 1, and Attila.The rest all have terrible siege gameplay, either because the design just sucks ass (Empire, Shogun 2) or because it's bugged to shit and the AI just doesn't work in sieges (Medieval 2).
>>569030314It's one of the most common 40k taglines. It's from the opening scrawl. Uncut it's >Forget the power of science, technology and common humanity. Forget the promise of progress or understanding, for there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods.
Now that cuckgend has died is Valarak our new guy?
>>569030689I know, but it was not used frontline in marketing like this before, "in the grim darkness of the far future" was far far more used.
>>568932315The chaos locations are all meant to be high risk, high reward, but when the risk is "completely ruins your campaign" and the reward is "get +5 armor but only when local recruiting" or "slight discount on spells" it stinks. Meanwhile all the order locations are weenie hut jr and give you free shit like the elf camp, dwarf construction company, or healer camp.

>>568999079>Normies want to play the protagonist factionI see where you're coming from, but that's what developers do with shit completely unrelated to TWW. All it takes to disprove that is a single google search (or common sense) showing that Empire or Helfs isn't and was never among the most sold dlc packs, there might be an argument of that sort towards order races in general but that already disproves your point.
>>569032374I went bald at 23 and started strangling hookers to compensate.
>>569032374Don't you think it's funny that Legend himself said his baldness doesn't bother him because he isn't a failure

>>569033687>All it takes to disprove that is a single google search (or common sense) showing that Empire or Helfs isn't and was never among the most sold dlc packsI am not sure what the point of your comment is here.Total War: WARHAMMER III - Elspeth – Thrones of Decay is the best reviewed and highest selling dlc pack behind the full race packs for tomb kings and the vampire coast. and it's pretty close. A single Empire lord is about as popular as the entire Vampire Coast faction.

Did any od the /twg/ TW:40K deniers apologize and admit that they were wrong?
>>569035496I want Skarbrand in 40k so I never have to touch the other factions.
I wish warhammer had more of this buildings/random villages etc on the battle maprome 1/2 had a lot of that, warhammer they're often out of the map, you can't interact with this village at all, but still, its cool that it's there
The shrine of Khaine is still bugged? .. this has to be intentional by now
>>569035617Lol neverThey pivoted into coping that 40k is going to be shit and flop
>>569035632you wanna play with the same boring bloodletters in 40k as in fantasy?
if you're looking for a game that>is set in the 40k universe>features real time strategy battles of nameless soldiers spearheaded by powerful heroes>comes with orks, elves, guardsmen, and space marines as playable factions>has base building elements>is goodYou don't want TW40k, you want DoW 1.
>>569035701I think the quality of battlemaps could improve a lot. I remember Empire and Napoopoo had quite interesting battle maps with important features to fight around. Warhammer feels very bland in comparison.There should be farms, villages, buildings, chokepoints ect ect.Even Shogun 2 did this better desu.
>>569036163Total war warhammer is redundant because mark of chaos exist
>>569032374>If so does your baldness ever tempt you to fall to Khorne?Never, Ursun guards my soul
>>569036163already played DoW1 to death + soulstorm with modsdon't think there should be base building elements beyond fortifications in 40k TW tho
>>569036156Skarbrand, 1 bloodreaper, Karanak and 17 bloodletter!!!That's exactly what I want.And ofc infinite bloodhosts to spawn for free.
>Muh DoW argument.70% of the fun of Total War is a direct result of the Strategic layer, not the real time battle layer.
>>569035701I wish there was more interesting stuff in the maps desu, 99% of the maps in game being a square rectangle vs rectangle with a few forests or bumps is boring
>>569035701Warhammer was a disgrace in the sovl department, everything was streamlined to death, but we got so many newfags coming into the franchise with this trilogy that they think this is fine.
>>569036732my brain is rottenit looks like the markiplier punch meme
>>569033540also holy shit the goblin bolt thrower is a godsend for sieges, it destroys walls
You have to pick one recruitment system for every single faction in WH:TW>Current system where you build a building and can get as many units that building unlocks as you like.>Tomb King system where you build a building and can recruit 2 or 3 said unit depending on how many of that same building you own.>Med 2 system where by building a building the settlement will start building up a pool of that unit that you can recruit.
>>569037470med2 system only works if you let units roam wo generals again
>>569035293Ok if you think that alone is enough to invalidate what i'm saying then it just sounds like you wanna be rightWe can't really prove anything so you do you i guessI was only trying to present basic common sense, again if you think a normie who didn't buy everything in bulk is going to do something like buy Volkmar then Markus now that would be actually fucking delusional

HOLYYYYYYYYYY SHITi love dwarfs>>569038619they ate nades..
>>569036418The strategic layer of TW games has barely any gameplay. The only games where it isn't a glorified custom battle menu with extra steps are Rome 1, Empire and Attila.
>>569038836*ahem*.. short
>>569037470>all buildings are unlocked regardless of city tier, building them unlocks the units for recruitment. City tier is determined by the average building tier if it's still needed for something.>growth is now the currency you use to recruit, soldiers don't fucking spawn out of nothing>unit upgrades are available for everyone so your tier 1 shit cav can be upgraded to shit like grail/blood knights/dragon princes EVENTUALLY>special unit types like constructs and magical units cost no growth and can be recruited with resources that some of the buildings produce, the way that blessed units work for lizardmen nowMakes growth the most important, as it fucking should be and balancing growth rates can allow for more differences between unit stats for a campaign. There's no fucking reason why thunderers, handgunners, pirate gunnery mobs and streltsi should have the same stats and yet they fucking do.
OF COURSE IT'S A GAME WHERE THROGRIM WRECKS SHIT
>>569039174>>569038836
>>569038305Oh well the ape resorted to shit flingingTime to leave
>>569039262but that guys playin or*s man I bought gorbad's dlc and it still couldn't make greenskins' campaign fun for mewaste of moneyleast i supported the game :))
>>569039734That's because Gorbad is the worst Lord in the entire game. Even Daniel can get better than him. He is absolutely horrendous and unfun to play. If u wanna play green retards try the wizard nigger or wurzzag
>>569038074Who'd she even job to?I'd personally trade a settlement to katarin or goldfag to get them into the wars and/or money to be able to go deeps in your starter province. If malus or Archaon join the pile soon, and you're on your own, I really hope you got some good recruitment buildings going
HELLO CAThe white cunt is supposed to be for war!The black cunt is for diplomacy!!!Fix it!
>>569040630What, you expect a small skaven warren like TCALGBT to create dynamically changing diplomacy portraits?
>>569040807Anon.. that is already in the game... Yes, Naestra and Arahan change portrait based on whether you attack or are in diplomacy.. but it keeps breaking for the AI. That has been in the game since their DLC got released...But with WH3 it broke.
I had heard pikemen in R2 were strong.
>>569041070Macedonians are the most powerful race in the world
Why are some people here still fixated on shitting on Legend as a lolcow. He's been gone for half a year
>>569041902He's still in our hearts to be shitted on as a lolcow
>>569041070Poor elephants :(
>>569042179He might be in our hearts... but we will never have his back... tragic...
>>569041902Maybe early Lolcows like Chris-Chab set the bar too high but to me not everybody who makes an ass of themselves on the internet is a lolcow.Pirate Software is not a lolcow he's just a dickhead.
>Legend's back
How are there no chaos factions in base tw40k I get that they'll probably be first year dlc but holy shitEven DoW from 20 years ago released with 5 factions and had necron/tau/deldar/sob as dlc
>>569043624I figure they want to make Chaos more unique for 40k, since in Fantasy cults and infiltration are secondary while in 40k it's their main asset. Meanwhile Imperial Guard and Orks play straight up like the traditional Total War factions, Eldar will probably be a semihorde with central craftworlds that might or might not take maiden worlds, and Space Marines had to be in because Space Marines.
legend isn't a lolcow he's the biggest TW creator ever in history
>>569038927That'd be interesting actually>Building growth beyond level 1 makes sense (now its 800g for +20 growth, 5k for extra +20)>Dwarves vs Greenskins are more interesting: despite low-tier Greenskins getting bodied against heavily armored dwarves, they can out-attrition Dwarves by throwing bodies at the problem>Elite units are more rare and you end up with mixed stacks due to having excess growth but not elite unit recruitment points >Due to AI cheats it can always insta-recruit full stacks of elite units
I tried Johnny's loreful nurgle mod and it made fighting Helmann as Ku'Gath managable and not fucking aids cancer
>>569044427>cheats make game easier
im losing an ambush i initiated kmsfuck khorne
>>569044250Anyone who makes a lifestyle out of playing Total War of all games is a lolcow.
>>569044827embarassingis this generic-lord looking fucker really the nemesis of total war as an anon brought up 2-3 days ago
>>569045031>he thought he could beat Arbaal with that trash stack
>>569030314damnthat animation quality looks so ass, you'd assume a company of that size would have a decent trailer budget but you'd assume wrong
>>569043807
>skaven getting added to 40k is basically confirmed by nowThey will be pushed HARD in TWWH40K and CA will do it without hesitation.
>>569045031I'll give u a tip. Take this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790754811 and start next to Grombrindal. It's a super fun coop with AI run. I did it a year or so ago. Was very cool. Lots of chaos niggers to slay but you can carve out a corner.
>>569045715some other run perhaps, I'll stick w this one, currently malakai is still killing trolls though which allowed that generic lord looking ass fucker to get my starting provincebut he'll be back... I'm just greeding, I can sue throgg for peace rn, but I don't want the border gore, need to snag at least a full province off him b4 meanwhile that fucking tzeench cult shit is spreading across my land and it takes 1000 billion gold to cleanse, unless you spend the 6k when it first pops up I guess but I couldn't this is a challenging run though even on normal which is cool, I had 0 challenge as tamurkhan in comparison
>Miniature of the Month is Saurus Warrior again>On June>Gay Pride MonthSaurus Warriors are gay confirmed
>>569045031>50 arty kills>7 cqc ranger kills>0 (zero) ranger kills>against the faction that notoriously has 1(uno) ranged option at allWhat the hell hppened? Please tell my you didn't rush the meele blender faction, please.>>569045196The RoRs can trade up really well, that's their one thing excusing upkeep. I would've given it a shot too.
>>569046070I rushed cause I thought that if meleed from the sides in an ambush like that you have huge penalties to leadership and they'd melt... guess not also the rangers were fixed on arbaal I thought I could kill him but he just took no dmg from them, so far 4 fucking LLs have arrived to try and stop my malakainng in norsca they can't let a dwarf have a lil motion
>>569046054>tfw no saurus bf to get vored byLife is unfair...
>>569043624Chaos always turns 40k into marinewank since the only faction they have any meaningful connection/rivalry with is the imperium.SM/IG/Eld/Ork are the perfect core roster because they have baked in dynamics. Orks are a threat to everyone, Eldar pit Orks and Imperium against each other to accomplish surreptitious goals, IG are in a desperate defensive war across all fronts and SM go around helping IG and employing specialized tactics to counter Orks and either cooperate with or foil the Eldar.Chaos has no reason to chase after Craftworlds, is only vaguely an indirect threat to Eldar and has literally 0 reason to fight Orks whatsoever. They're the epitome of imperiumwank DLCbait.
disgusting fucks hyper fixated on me with their khorne homo buddies arbaalmalakai is coming tho... slow n steady...
Drazoath... za Althwitel
NOOOOOOOO KARL
>>569047709CHALLENGED
>>569047709What a nightmare mode campaign. Have fun.How many grudges do you have to settle for 100% now btw? You got kicked around a lot so I'm curious if it got super big.
>>569047709>chad Leitdorf still arouondsanity is overrated
>>569045686>skaven getting added to 40k is basically confirmed by nowDid I miss something?
>>569048484uhh you mean these? they increase based on how much shit you suffer in each cycle? this is my first time playing dwarfs (after a TW hiatus) in years so idk how it works
total chorf death
>>569049093Yeah, that! It increases based on how many grudges you CAN settle when a new age comes, but idk the actual formula so I wanted to see what yours shot up to due to 3 big wars and lots of grudgin.Pretty big.Basically every army and settlement (well, the garrison technically) get grudges you "settle" by wiping them. It increases over time but also for every -diplomacy thing they do.The book of grudges is mostly endgame challanges, except silver peak.The only thing you use settled grudges for is the meter in the top and force confederating LLs if you beat them in settled grudges by a wide margin (or they died. Which is likely in that nightmare campaign of yours, check if you can add them, it's free)
>>569050823o yeah i forgot lmaoi can confederate all these guys, but the border gore + problems might be too much if I do it too soon?
>>569051058btw no settlement numbers mean thorgrim and grombrindal are dead right?
>>569051058You can do one every 5 turns so can't do all at once anyway.Ungrim goblin hewer stack mite be pretty fun witht the adventure bonuses, but its up you
>>569051291Yup. Rip lil guys
I wanna help karl but there's nothing I can do...>>569051570i see thanks I'll at least confed grombrin for now
>>569030565Incorrect. And dogging Medieval 2 for broken AI during sieges while praising Rome 1 demonstrates your lack of braincells.
I think Medieval 2 is bad because the gunpowder units are crap.No game without Funpowder is good.
>>569052817but they're not bad
>>569052887There is no situation where they are superior to other ranged units.
It's fucking over... Karl...
>>569047709this almost always happen
>People unironically play Orcs, Rats and chaos.You know they are just fodder enemies right? It's like wanting to be a stormtrooper or a Palestinian. You exist for the good guy to kill you.
>>569050165>fire damage they tanked that btw
