first for SAYL THE FAITHLESS
what does "assigned unit" mean on gear like this? like it assigns onto a random slayer unit in the army and gives it the benefits? or what
Thanquol soon, friends!
>>569162603at the battle screen where you can start or auto resolve you can drag to the unit
>>569162603It's a banner, you assign it to a unit before battle
>>569162590SOME OF YOU MAY DIE THIS DAY, BUT DO NOT WORRY: YOUR SACRIFICE WILL HONOR THE GODS>>569162603It acts like a banner, when you have the manual battle preparation screen it appears as an item you can drag and drop on to a unit in your army.
>>569162701>>569162772>>569162773oh I see thanks completely forgot those are even a thing, stuff u can assign in pre-battle that is
>>569162631
Reminder that all Warhammer deamons are down to fuck men

>>569163328
ROME HAS CONQUERED
>>569163710It's been 50/50 whether HElves or Morathi claim Ulthuan. It's Karl Franz who always snowballs unless it's Vampire crisis.
OVER THE ALPS?! PREPOSTEROUS
>>569163328>Aenarion spouse on the Phoenixx Throne.World is healing.
this campaign really taught me the importance of starting locationsthis shit is pure cancerI can't get a single tier 5 townkraka drak here has changed hands 20 times because some bullshit just sails from the wastessigh
>>569163328is this your first time playing? in most runs the empire and high elfs are fucked
>>569165401came back after a year or so hiatus and i swear it didn't used to be this baddid 3 campaigns and the vamps rape the empire every time, cathay gets wiped almost immediately every time with no help, ulthuan gets fucked every time, they need to buff the order factions a bit
so when is the southern provinces
>economy hinges on winning battles and selling off settlements to my neighbors>all of my neighbors have their shit sorteduh oh! time to invade Norsca I guess.

Trans rights are human rights, churls. The Lady wills it.
HUGE NEWS!Clio has been dropping hints that PhaseCon goers might find out more about the VA work she did for CA. PhaseCon is taking place on June 13th, and 14th. She probably wouldn't be able to say anything unless CA releases something first. This likely means that we're getting a trailer next week. Clio once again showing why she is the official TW tuber.
>>569166823the eternal marienburger...
>>569173875>Pride Knights
>Cliofucking who
>>569172506Dark elves are the true face of elves before the asur cucked their culture just to not be like the dark elves.
>>569173875wait i thought the progress flag was a joke do people actually use it
>Pride Knightsso that's how they rebranded the worldeaters...
>>569173875It still cracks me up how being nonwhite/nonasian is a gender
>>569175683Extremely privelieged post.Educate yourself and DO BETTER, CHURL.
>>569175683Yes and you will be using it too in a few years
>>569174518I don't care about phase I will simply wait for her streamyap
>>569174695>>569175717I mean it would be a sick name for a vain Slaaneshi unit
>>569173875brettoniakeks...
>>569176115>>569176089I feel like the "updated" pride flag is a big fucking sign of one of the things that are the LGBTQ movement shooting itself in the foot. The original flag was already perfectly fine, it all represents concepts and elements that are meant to be free for all and something to be shared. It eliminates all barriers and categories and means to encompass everyone without making distinctions, just pure acceptance no matter who you are. By suddenly stapling on signs representing other groups in particular, you're making sure they're never part of it, they'll always be the "and those" addendum.It's like that one scene when Amy bragged about being a woman sports player and Knuckles saying by constantly pointing it out even though no one she's playing with finds it weird or disapproves, it'll never be normalized.
>>569162649My wives
>>569176302We have many TRVE Clio Heads in here that will be at her meet, and greet. You wont be waiting long to hear what she says.
>Not Rae Lim voice actress>Not interestedSimple as.
>>569176089I don't get why intersex people are on here, that's just a physical condition that gives you messed up genitals. It's like if someone put Klinefelter's syndrome (?) on there.
>>569169597Umgak Manlings. They have NEVER honored their alliances in any of my campaigns. No better than norscans. Total Kislev Death.
>>569176896Its the rampant autism desu
>>569163328>Morathi finally managed to get her I-Can’t-Believe-It’s-Not-Aenarion bfIt’s over
>>569176115It's disappointing to see no representation for the experts, and the science.
>>569175664You’re thinking of Eldar.Asur culture was always the norm, Delf culture derives from a combination of the martial culture of Aenarion’s army, the influence of the Elven pleasure cults, and Malekith’s own engineering of them into a society of homicidal sociopaths to be used as a weapon against Ulthuan.
>>569173875Sorry but LGBT is cancelled, TW chuds won
>>569178029Not even Ubisoft?? Holy shit
>>569178029>US nuked their own ships after WW2I wonder why
>>569177882>Asur culture was always the normNo it isn't. Asure stopped worshipping 80% of their pantheon because of the sundering.
>>569177882Delfkeks read in Tyrion's book that helves maybe threw away crippled babies at some point in the past, all said by Tyrion's dumbass cousin, and think all the sister fucking and homicidal tardrage was always part of elf culture. Ignore the fact that Malekith explicitly notes in his internal narration at several points that the druchii are complete dipshits that are far removed from how they should be as a result of Morathi's influence.
>>569179097No I actually read the Sundering series so I know the Asur are nothing like the elves before it.
>>569179097>>569179265Niggers you are reading Black Library books, there's barely any editorial checking shit and the authors just make up whatever suits their idea of how its supposed to be.Just make your headcanon.
>>569179265Caledor Dragontamer would find more in common with the asur than the druchii. This is a plain and objective fact.
Hobgoblin have 140 range whilst my Crossbowmen have 200 range.
>>569179510Black Library writers write the army books retardo.
>>569165204>kraka drak here has changed hands 20 timesBro, I held that shit down like a conservatove holds down a femboy.The capital, with it's unique location, diamond mine and trinket workshop; funded me to short victory. The province with deeps boost is acounting for half my income at turn 100 now.Its actually impressive the way you're surviving up to now, man, seriously good job.But if you end up playing dwarfs again, definetely go deep instead of wide. Every lord starts with a cracked capital unique building (except belegar i think, but he's special)
>>569179510Fantasy isn't 40k. The same people that write the rules also wrote the lore. William King and Gav Thrope wrote elves in 5/6/7/8th editions and wrote all books about them including the Tyrion and Teclis, Malekith and Sundering ones.
>>569180464yeah if I re-do the campaign I'll focus on holding down 1-2 provinces and building em up before doing anything, at least until max garrison buildings, I'll give the campaign another try later for now tilted n quit the game, I wiped out hashut chorfs, wiped out throgg, wiped out that generic lord looking red khorne fucker, just when I accomplish that boom skaven with 50 settlements declare war, and meanwhile archeon and beastmen are fucking up my shit in the north 'yet again, super cancer, can't believe my tamurkhan campaign and this was on the same difficulty, tamurkhan u rly have no challenge at all thanks to being surrounded by chaos fucks that don't dare attack youi should have played malakai wo end times crisis bullshit though, by the time I get 2 proper provinces it'll be end times and it'll be some bullshit like skaven i know it will, cancer
>>569179952>>569180587In that case (doubt), you still should headcanon it, because the quality takes a fucking nosedive outside the army books.William Kings Tyrion and Teclis novels especially are strangely lacking compared to G&F or even his 40k work.
>>569177882>Asur culture was always the norm>Phoenix King was not a thing before Aenarion>Dragonships are impossible to build since the civil war>Phoenix Kings elections were not a thing before Bel Shanaar>Everqueens were not forced to marry the Phoenix King before Bel Shanaar>Gates were not a thing before Caledor I reign>High Elves had colonies in the Old World for 2600 years>White Tower was not a thing before Bel-Korhadris reign>Sword Masters were not a thing before Bel-Korhadris reign>Citizen levy were not a thing before Morvael reign>Fortress of the Dawn was not a thing before Morvael reign>Citadel of Dusk was not a thing before Morvael reign>The magic mist shrouding Ulthuan east cost was not a thing before Bel-Hathor reign>Banishment of Human in all Ulthuan was not a thing before Bel-Hathor reign>Trades with Old Worlders (including Asrai) was not a thing before Finubar travels during Bel-Hathor reign>Human quarter in Lothern was not a thing before the end of Bel-Hathor reign
>>569163328Lothern sea sharts
>>569184303>Human quarter in LothernImagine the smell.
>>569184303You could do this with the Empire too, it's still the Empire. Or, to hurt your point:>Cult of Pleasure was not a thing before Morathi
>>569178029This isn't a victory faggotry will still be present in vidya, the culture is still pozzed
>>569176896>It eliminates all barriers and categories and means to encompass everyone without making distinctions, just pure acceptance no matter who you areBut that's bad tho
Is there a single general that talks less about the actual games than does /twg/?
>>569185243These things die out without massive institutional support.
>>569178029Wait so it was all USAID?
>>569185616Yes, and if you posted in anything other than /twg/ you'd know that.
>>569185616You made me check if Katawa Shoujo general was still going
>The #PCGamingShow will feature interviews and new behind-the-scenes footage for @totalwar: Warhammer 40,000 from developer @CAGames and publisher @SEGAFuck me it will be more "yapping with 2 to 3 seconds of cropped footage"
If we win this battle: Our eastern flank will be defended and there will be less pressure on Greasus and Zhao.If we lose this battle: Our entire empire is undefended because there is currently a crusade going on against Archaon as well as a Chaos Dwarf containment operation.No pressure.
*sóysplains the lore to you*
>>569185748Always was.
>>569187271camp the corner and let the cannon rip
>>569187468Is there a good one of these?I've seen Majorkill, Pancreas and Bricky and it was all insufferable
>>569188446Depends on what you want? They are all good but it's meme lore and often has the details wrong. If you want 100% correct non meme lore Ian >>569187468 is great. But I also recommend Sandman of Terra for deep lore.
>>569188446I have little to no interest in 40k, but I still put on Luetin09 videos as background noise. For fantasy it's unfortunately Lorebeards. As insufferably sóy as they are you're not going to find 3 hours of something specific like Dragon Ogre lore anywhere else. For AoS 2+tough is currently the only real option, but Lorebeards are also starting to get into it.
>>569188446Here's the lore on the loretubers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4UAoWbAvK4
their faces kinda look like chudjak
>>569190047oh mb it was low resolution scale on by default
>>569189121Andy Law is great and outweighs the presence of soitek. He knows every single writer for GW and will straight tell you what was the intent for every single part of the lore including ET. Also has access to knowledge that only the writers established between themselves when writing for GW. His Khaine insights are actually very interesting and explain a lot about elf lore in Fantasy.
Nu uh, only watching 40K lore from channel with Sotek seal of approval:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm3U2EqZyWw
not sure how I like this mobile UI looking wheel thing they added in rome remaster
>>569168123We'll be getting all that and more. My uncle works for Total War and he told me that they'll also be releasing...Norse Dwarfs(less technology, more about Runes and golems). Araby. Kingdoms of Ind. Monster Ind(expanded Tiger/Beastmen). Khuresh. Nippon. Monster/Undead Nippon(collection of Yokai and stuff like that). Hobgoblin Khan. Albion. Monster/Undead Albion(Fimir armies). Estalia. Tilea. Amazons. Halfling. Sadly, this will make every turn take several hours. But that's the cost of greatness.
>>569190638Andy is more sóy than Sóytek. He frequently whines about white males, and GW's "problematic" early days, but as you've said nobody knows the lore better than him.
>>569191537That's literally all writers that ever worked for GW. Even titans of early GW like William King are like that.
>>569191537But he also whines that witch elf models aren't sexy enough, so he has his moments.
>>569187468Idk I listened to Arch he was pretty chill as background noiseToo bad he's the community boogeyman
Since we're on the topic of Youtubers and lore videos, I'm trying to remember a name. He wasn't just 'onions' but an outright socialist who made a few videos about how Skaven are the embodiment of capitalism, they're in a literal rat race. His avatar was like a purple cyclops or a purple squinting man something like that. And he made a video about the old pigmies and how racist he thought they were. And he had an ogre army for tabletop. Does anyone know who I'm talking about? I can't remember his name. He was kind of annoying but I do remember liking several of his videos.
>>569191445If they just made it more stylistic with marble or other things people associate with Rome then it wouldn't be too bad. I recommend the Classy UI mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2534869844
>>569189121>For fantasy it's unfortunately Lorebeards. As insufferably sóy as they are you're not going to find 3 hours of something specific like Dragon Ogre lore anywhere else.Tried to listen to them a week or so ago and got tired of Andy Law's progressive faggotry pretty quickly. He was complaining about the Ogres being based in part upon Mongol culture.
Who's the best boogeyman /twg/ has ever had?
Generic Lords that are almost as good as Legendary Lords:Von Carstein BloodlineMalevolent Ancient Treeman (Life)Supreme Sorceress Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer-ProphetDaemon Prince of NurgleWhat are your favourite Generic Lords?
getting a heroic victory on an autoresolve is really weird>>569193254MPfags desu. they get blamed for literally everything
>>569189572I thought there was nothing more pathetic than somebody who listen to 40k """lore"""" sloptubers, but turns out there's people who listen to 40k sloptubers complainint about other 40k """lore""" sloptubers
>>569163328Elgi are elgiNeither are bulletproof and neither can stand up to the raw economic power of dwarf deeps.
Not a boogeyman if every nerf was pushed by them.
why didn't they just keep doing this IRL
Marienburg mod is pretty fun but man the roster sucks ass and the unit caps on random not-good units is weird.
>>569184303
>>569193254Volound. Whenever someone criticizes modern TW compared to old schizo TCAL fangays just accuse you of being Volound or a Volound shill and don't engage in good faith
>>569193254
>>569195379My God he's huge
>>569186862Give Leman Russ footage please...
>>569194573Erm, actually Culture=Tacos
>>569194509>Marienburg mod is pretty fun but man the roster sucks assWhat units do they have?
>>569194604>ctrl+f volound in this thread and last>1/3 results>all in your post
>>569194604>>569196387open and shut case, we found volound
Can any Rome 2 players confirm that the patch sucks?
>>569197103Regardless of whether it is good or bad (most of the changes seem good to me and go a long way towards fixing Rome 2's boring battles and stat boosting temple nonsense) they explicitly said you can roll it back.
>>569180871Anyone who doesn't rush deeps hasn't properly considered the building descriptions.>5% income per turnEvery 20 turns, you gain another settlement for free. And it's not more area that you need to defend, more enemies that might attack you, there's no investment needed, you just get the settlement.>5% income globallyIf you have 20 settlements, this building gives you one more. This effect starts slowly, but once you get a couple settlements, it really shows its influence. Eventually you just snowball like crazy.And these buildings can both be built at the same time.
>>569196360IIRC they don't really have high end units except empire artillery.
>>569197607>Every 20 turns, you gain another settlement for freeelaborate
I am so ready for CA to answer the same 5 questions all over again and show heavily edited 2 second longs clips in the background that show absolutely nothing new or of substance
>>569198158let them cook
>>569198158>Will there be Greenskins in the game? Yes>Will there be Space Marines in the game?YesThanks for tuning in. We will have more news in Winter 2027.
>>5691980275% income per turn. Minus owned settlements, but if you have many of those you're clearly in good shape (and in that case, refer to section 2).The best part is, it counts from the beginning. Build at the start, it's very little. Build at turn 20, you double the settlement. Build at 40, you triple it. Instantly. I honestly don't understand why they made it so powerful (and SFO nerfs it a bit) but if you're barely holding on, it can be a lifesaver.
>>569198408isn't it getting released later this year
>>569198550lmao noI originally had hopes for late 2026, but since they showed absolutely no gameplay last show, this won't be getting released until spring 27 at the earliestI will be doubly more sure of it if they do nothing but talk talk talk and show like, 5 seconds of gameplay in the pc game show
>>569198518oh, you mean you get the income of another settlement for free. yeah
>>569198550They haven't given any release day whatsoever. The best guess we have is "after LOTET, before Medieval 3"
>>569198991>>569198701I thought there was a leak or something that said late 2026
>>569192715i'll give it a tryidk if i'll stick w the run but I'll seeproblem with rome is besides rome the other civs are just kinda hard to playnpc factionsbut I've never done a barbarian invasion playthrough, and I cba to play western rome on that lolso might just go saxons and focus on taking over britain + northern europe
>>569199062i don't think this is coming before 2029
>>569199081If you want Rome but small scale in Barbarian Invasion I recommend the Romano-British
>>569199160That would make a 5 or 6 year dev cycle? How the hell would they need 6 years for 5 factions?
>>569199062That might have been part of Valrak's leak but considering we've only gotten some battle map footage and one clip of a planet six months out from the supposed release date, it's fair to say it was bullshit or they pushed it back.
>>569199778yeah I noticed em, sounds cool, for some reason they're marked as "very hard" mby couz they're emergent? also the UI mod is bugged somehow, on assassination missions I don't see any tooltips
kek these earlygame sieges in older TW where its like 4 units vs 3 unitscozy
>>569200296the thing I miss the most about rome/med2 is armies with less than 20 units
>>569199802half incompetency and half resignation/apathy
holy shit rome 1 had day/night cycle on the campaign mapforgot
>>569200754I'm like 80% sure it didn't
>>569200852oh yeahmaybe its a remaster thingapparently there's a mod for it for warhammer but idk how well it works
>>569200754>goymake
>>569201102its got modern controls like its literally exactly like warhammer 3 down to the hotkeysI can't get re-used to the old control scheme n scam of OG rome 1... would need some adjustment time anyway
>>569201102>raroo
>>569201102it's a good way to play the game thanks to including BI and Medieval 2 improvements in the base game THOUGH
>>569199802New engine means a lot of ground level work on basic stuff like UI and feature programming that otherwise carries over between titles, a lot of new AI development to make it work with new features and combat mechanics, and tonnes of assets they now have to produce from scratch because they can't carry them over like the WH titles.And of course all the troubleshooting and bug fixing problems that naturally arise when working with a new engine or doing a lot of new feature programming.
>>56920156740k isn't a new engine, med 3 is the new engine
>>569201712Thanks for telling me why I should skip 40k
>>56920171240k is the new engine retard-kun, they mentioned it with the building destruction.
>>569201961there won't be a med 3 if 40k bombsthere won't be a CA...
>>569202227that would be acceptable
>Starting Bhashiva for the 5th time because CA either keeps duct tape patching their broken ahh game or Zhao dies on turn 4 to his minor rebel starting enemies
>>569162451the relief on the gate has a bit of a Late Roman/Early Byzantine vibe along with the schizo alt-comics one, very fitting for the 40k universe
>>569196360it's kinda like the empire units but a little worse, but there's also a million ancillaries to make them a little better. A big issue is almost all units cap out at tier 2 except for the cav.
>>569203915on the flip side your caravans get a bajillion maneater ogres and legendary heroes that boost the cargo value.
>>569199062Valrak's otherwise 100% correct leaks clearly were already subjected to a delay, which is why TW40K wasn't announced in June. TW40K is already delayed, we simply don't know this officially. I think they aimed at the end of this year, but that's not possible. So probably Q1-Q2 2027 then. Even if they dare to announce release on winter 2026, I fully expect them to delay the game
We WILL be there. We WILL attend the Clio meet, and greet. We WILL attempt to trick her into revealing the TW secrets that CA has told her. We WILL lie to you all about what she says.
>>569205794who the fuck is clio
>>569205794Uh oh! He found your oshi!!>>569206062This man(the one getting his neck snapped).
>>569206062A vtuber who occasionally plays TW. Which of course means we have a dedicated vtumor schizo in the thread now. For such a small general the amount of schizos we have is genuinely remarkable.
>>569206232>>569206474>vtubergreat. just wonderful. at least the schizo doesn't seem overly schizophrenic
>>569205789I think the real gauge will be pc gamingAfter december with jackshit, and show and tell having an absolute minimum, if pc gaming dont show pure battle gameplay, then there is some hope for Q1 27.But yeah, if it was gonna release in 26, they would have already said it
>>569206665Because jannies kicked him in his axe wound for posting shitpost OPs so he's toned it down but it'll probably ramp up once lotet releases as the general will speed up and so he'll try to milk all the attention he can.
What the heck is a "Phase Con" ?
>>569207278vtubing agency

I'm sick and tired of how fantasy settings revile spiders. Spiders are fucking great. Spiders are the tits. There should be a popular fantasy story in which spiders are good guys who help the heroes, maybe even with an actual spider hero. Like a Spider... Man or something like that. But fantasy.
>>569215113I have no fucking idea what kind of spiders live in your hellhole but every spider I've ever encountered in my entire life have had very low populations in my houses just leaving them to their business.
Full spider goblin sub faction when?
>>569216579there are friendly spiders in avernum. they kiss your shins and stuff
>>569216808There was a Forest Goblin faction mod, can't remember it's name because I don't play Greenskins, might even have been all the way back in Warhammer 2 tbdesu
>>569173123Norsca campaign is pretty great, you have a steady supply of hunts for cool units and unique items. Their unit roster kind of sucks in my opinion, they tend to have a lot of low armor damage dealers so you end up manualing a lot of battles. There's a huge variety of units in it though so with that and the monstrous arcane you can make a lot of interesting armies.His manipulations are kind of all over the place, like 1 or 2 are actually useful per tier.Starting position is great because you have 2 norsca minor factions to confederate and zhatan & vilitch as neighbors with great defeat traits.His stats and abilities are pretty great, the bound abilities are either a short range line spell (summons a chaos spawn to delete a line of infantry) or a long range single target nuke with a stupid long cast time. The shadow pendulum can let him solo battles.Overall he's probably my favorite ToT character and the one with the most replayability. My only issue is his tagline says he "gets stronger by betraying allies" which just isnt true. If he got bonuses from having a low reliability or actually backstabbing allies then that'd be kino.
>>569216579Well if spiders were the size of people they'd probably eat you.
everyone who loves spiders so much must have only ever seen tiny ones that sit in the corner and never bother you, I have big and fast ones that don't build webs and sprint around on my floor and walls

You know, I once got bit by spiders while camping and the marks lasted for fucking months.Funnily enough, they were also the least annoying insect bites I've ever had, they weren't so much as itchy even the day right after. Wouldn't even have noticed them if they didn't leave that long lasting mark. Curious how that works out.
>>569218141They're intentionally eaten regularly in southeast asia.
Hey, where did all the Spearmanii go, anyway?
>>569218678well, yeah. those things are huge. it's like land hummers
Did I enter /spoodergen/?
>>569217475>big and fast ones that don't build websnot sure what kind you're referring to but chances are they actually do build webs but instead of using them as nests they wrap them around their legs to use as nets
I'm going to be honest, Daniel should probably be mercy killed
All this spider hate is undeserved. Spiders eat all the insects you wouldn't want in your house, and they're more afraid of you than you are of them. Only in very remote places on earth are spiders somewhat dangerous for people, and even then we only bite as a last resort.

Fun fact: there’s a species of spider in Australia called the Sydney funnel-web that, by sheer coincidence, has venoms that is specifically extremely deadly to primates, including humans.This spider didn’t evolve anywhere near primates of course, there was no pressure to make anti-monkey venom. It’s just the normal venom it uses to paralyze bugs. But for whatever reason it happened to evolve a chemical in there that is super toxic for us in particular. Like if this thing bites your dog it’ll get pretty sick. If it bites you, you’re probably going to die if you don’t get to the hospital in the next hour or so.
God I hate when that happens.Why are all 3 of the good ones on the 2nd section.I'd much prefer ONE of the 3 being in the first.

>>569153074If he's fun.. well duh. He is the absolute power fantasy. Tamurkhan wishes he was as buff as Skarbrand. Skarbrand doesn't even do melee combat, he runs through things to kill them.While all huge things have this ability, like dragons, soul grinder, tamurkhan, etc.. none have the speed he has. And Skarbrand starts charging from half a screen away. He's a train mowing through infantry without ever doing a single attack.

>>569246919Fair enough, shove the spider in while distracting everything with Orcs, ram the stabbas in the side, and mop stuff up with the chariots and cav.

I'm not gonna do shit, heh
>>569248203Taken straight from the workshop Emiliya Orlov is the Commander of the Tempest Rangers, an arm of the Ice Court which focuses on harnessing Tempest and Ice magic in order to empower all aspects of one's martial capabilities and prowess in frontline engagements.The Tempest Rangers' mission is to venture beyond the provinces under Kislev control, to take the fight directly to the Forces of Chaos in the Chaos Wastes. They track the movements of Chaos, and engage their armies when the time is right. Ultimately they seek to keep the Forces of Chaos out of Kislev.Her lord skill line has the ultimate upgrade functionally be "She's gone powermad because she's infused the literal winds of storm and ice magic into herself and now wants to usurp Katarin"Honestly a fun campaign, she's really fucking strong, but she's also literally 1 province up from Zatan and 1 province from Tamurkhan

Ah, yes, the short victory on turn 12.
I've been on turn 12 for 2 hours now. I love it.
>>569254110The sheer amount of fury I am feeling right now makes think I should do a Khorne play through for once.

>>569257004I play on VH/VH but uhh.. I don't like struggling endlessly. I wanna be powerful and awesome so I play Skarbrand over and over again. >>569257009Your entire post is invalidated by Skarbrand's absolute CHAD nature.
>>569257249>I play on VH/VH but uhh.. I don't like struggling endlessly.So essentially you want to the validation of thinking your big and tough playing on vh/vh but you're playing easy mode cheat factions
>>569257249there's only one faction in total war history that's fit for repeated playthrough with no breaks inbetween of other ones
>>569257249>I play on VH/VHlol
>>569257504No.. I just like more to fight. The AI doesn't recruit much on normal.You sound like you are quite upset that I like Skarbrand so much. I'm a huge fan on isekais. I love when the MC is absolutely broken and overpowered and destroys everything. I also like shonen a lot. The power trip is really fun to me so I keep playing the awesome factions. Besides Skarbrand, I like playing Cathayt, Ikit Claw, beastniggers and Nurgle.>>569257607I know! It's Khorne!!But only Skarbrand, the other 2 jobbers are lame.
>>569257697It's fine to like easy mode anon. I personally just think the health of the game is much better when things are balanced and CA is shilling out p2w DLC factions that are easy/easy in disguise.
>>569257607Correct.
>>569257838Balanced sounds boring.. if everything is balanced, you just play shogun2 again.. no matter what you pick, it's rock paper scissors and that's so fucking trash.
this is the building everyone said is OP for playing tall right?
>>569257974indeed, then build the one on the right of it. And the moneymaking building at the surface. Do remember it's the REGION not the whole settlements
>>569258124u mean this one right not the oathgold one? I assume this ones better for total incomeI can still salvage this campaign by building up this region but the endtimes bs is coming and if it's a particular cancer one im fucked
>>569257838Skarbrand has been significantly nerfed over the years. Also, you control the buttons you press. If you don't want to use movement replenish or blood hosts you can just do that.
>play bhashiva>peasant horsemen can't beat archerboyzhaha...
>>569257920>Balance is the same as everything being the sameYour parents should have dropped you harder at birth.
>>569258236this one yeah not the oathgold. The oathgold building can be built elsewhere to have a steady supply of them. You can even build the deep building which smelts them into gold. But your top prio is the foundries then the book one next to it
>>569258293Reminds me of how dark riders would loose to fleeing HE archers in TW2. Good old days.
this piece of shit waltzed in and started colonizing in the middle of my regionsgreat
>balanced sounds boringI kneel at the level of retarded paypig you've managed to attract CA...
>>569258293peasant horsemen aren't meant to fight. They are meant to take victory points. That's why they exist. In mp they run around and snatch flags. Then they absorb missiles and die.>>569258331Harada himself once said many years ago, he hired a very passionate Tekken player. That one wanted to balance the game so Harada let him. After some time, he came back to him with a "balanced" version of Tekken. They playtested it for a week and the entire team agreed it was perfectly balanced... and extremely boring because everything was the same. Character choices didn't matter anymore. Everything played the same.

>>569260636umgi mirin
>>569234250YesYou're not turtling if you still go out and raid, sack and ocuppy-sell-diplo around you. You do still need to be fighting battles as it's still by far the best money for any faction.>My worry has been that they'll just come back eventually even after peaceReasonable. If you want to secure a flank long term and early, you'll have to occupy and sell a settlement to a neutral/friendly AI faction to make a buffer zone bewtween you and an enemy. Maybe several if it's tight geograpy. Make sure the neutral faction joins the war in exchange for the settlement(s). They might job, they might hold the flank, but in either case you now have an ally and a very defensive few settlements between you and the enemy (AI gets garisson replenishment cheats, are less likey to be suicide rushed etc).Be somewhat careful with this, because if the allly does well, you cannot expand in that direction anymore. Ever. I've been at "war" with Wulfric for 70 turns and have not seen him for 20 becuse I traded any settlements i took from him to anyone willing to join my war against him at the start. He sued them for peace and is just afraid to trespass against them at this point i think.>trinket shopsI build the t5 in really rich settlements and park an engineer there to boost it further with the passive and any anciliaries. Or a defensive army with an engineer and give the lord anciliaries too.Also just a t1 in newly captured settlement if I am not building them up and not selling them for a while since it pays for itself in 5 turns (4 with research). You can demolish it and build a t1 military building over 3 turns to sell ti AI, but this is more of a gamble/foresight/gigabrain use case.Otherwise oathgold, always need more oathgold

Don't try to over optimize tho or you won't have fun (except with the ashigaru faction).Some units have such a limited use case you unfortunately won't use them ever.Economy and expansion is really slow so unless you plan to turtle after a couple of years, pick a few economy research upgrades and switch to military then.

>>569263134>>569263148 its not that, mine just looks like more washed out and if it was less contrast, its prob smth to do with contrast settings or something, thought it might be a mod, nvm....I remember the parchment map looking so clean in warhammer 1, then in 2 and 3 they kinda butchered it, looks quite ugly imo, but u get used to it

Nice
i come to the city he leaves, can't catchI go away, he comes back or goes to a nearby city, can never catchFUCK THIS GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MAN IM SO MAD, this is why u use those block army agents i guess but that shit never works for me + I dont have any campaign agents FUCKK
Hm.. should I break into cathay.. or do I keep murdering Chaos...
>>569265239try to predict wher ehe goes and buy a single lord for attack
>>569265376oh yeah... thanks for the reminderI forgot that u can do that, attack with single lord and have the main force as backup when a bit further backthose battles where u wait for ur main force are annoying as shit so ill just autoresolve if i do that
>>569265435yeah it can be annoying, tho in X3 it's not so long
Thanks, Cathay bros!I'm totally gonna help..
>>569264449You're really gonna want more bodies for malakais army comp. And I do mean bodies. Irondrakes and doomseekers do not have enough entities to protect your artillery, his main focus.>>569265239Ambush stance.Also you should be able to get an engineer even from malakais horde if you did his quest battle (non adventure) even if you don't have the buildingStill rooting for you anon
>>569265825yeah ill prob replace all the melees with idk, 6 squads of ironbreakers im thinking >>569260447they have both huge armor, a lot of entities and that cool ass grenade attackcan't give up my irondrakes thoalso>11 bombing runsthis shit is insane, malakai is second only to elspeth for gunpowder enjoyingthat starting spot tho...
>>569265564I think I'd be interesting if they did battle rewards like in bannerlord, where your loot, xp and cash reward is determined by how much you contributed.Would probbably still let the AI suicide just like there lol
crazy how the brimstone flamethrower gyros are tier 2 unitsjust rape at any point I think
>>569266173But it is the same.. the more you kill, the more reward you get. Units also get EXP based on kills. Even the magic item drop rate goes up if you kill more.
He is afraid...

>>569267159Hold it, dawi bro, I must ego post about my campaign rn like anyone cares.FINALLY A DEFEAT
>>569266993If I remember right this came from AoS where ikit fully roboticized himself to survive the end times. This was a stormcast eternal he abducted and mind probed to find out how he could turn himself into a skaven stormcast because his robot body was falling apart.
Kinda cute..
>>569267215AR really underestimates +20 levels up on a lord
>>569267351Levels aren't even taken into account for AR. Only armor and gold value.
>>569267351Especially when that lord hold an entire fucking army while the rest of the army anal raped the reinforcing 2 armies.
>>569267457retard....
does this shit ever stop during vermintide or will i just have to forever spend 10k a turn destroying em as they pop up again
Loli. Legendary. Lords.
>>569267767uooooh sex
BAAAD move, brooo..
>>569265979The only irondrake heavy army I have going is for grombodial, since he gives them decent meele stats, so I don't have to worry about stuff reaching them, so can't give much advice there.Ironbreakers are the best line holders in the game so if you wanna park them and chill absolutely go for it. They can even deflect adtillery with research.I will say that thunderes have served me just as well, since by the time the enemy reaches my line, they shaved of enough of them to make it an even engagement. Especially good for SEM focus fire and low entity cavilary.But considering the shit your dealing with a solid line of ironbreakers you don't have to worry about are gonna be a pleasant upgrade.>>569266310Mine kept missing so much. The high angle flames do not work. Absolutely rapes trolls tho, so I keep em around because they can actually hit the big bastards, break leadership (burnt + low troll leadership) them and escort them until they are broken
Why would AR say "Valiant defeat"???!!>confused_anime_girl.tapestry
really sad how dawis got some fun techs but it takes ages to reach them
Haha I wonder what happened there
this shit is so sad...
>>569268319ratmen replacing bugmen, maybe an improvement when it comes to internal politic
just a few lizardmen on the bottom to mop up and at least this dude has a fruitful campaign
I autoresolved a battle against the Dark Elves and now I feel guilty. Not sure if I would have won it or not had I played manually, but I just didn't wanna fight those fucking doomfire warlocks, they're fucking aids.
>>569267756Iirc thw first phase of the vermintide is EVERYONE EVERYWHERE gets an undercity. Only once tho. There is a building that spreads them passively so its rng if they have that.But yea, check all your provinces for skaven corruption, get some heroes and if you hold some territory next to a skaven LL starting location, get a solid army there in ambush
>>569268563I constantly autoresolve battles that I would have no chance of winning manuallyit's just a side effect of warhammer I think
>>569268563>doomfire warlocksLiterally what? They are made of wet toilet paper.
>play as Balthasar in TW:WH3>first try, secure my province from the Burning Wind and then go get some XP by killing the Ogres in the north, who are rampaging across my allies of Western Provinces, who was barely hanging on>get steamrolled by Burning Wind from the south>retry, again secure my starting province but now try destroying Burning Wind completely before going back north again>Western Provinces get steamrolled, I try continuing anyway but before I could fully destroy Burning Wind I get vampires and greenskins starting their rampage of me from the north>retry again, this time push quick and hard against Burning Wind and they actually sue for peace so I turn back north, the vampires also offer me NAP for no reason, so I decide to take my time hunting Ogres and Skaven in areas of my allies of Western Provinces and Claws of White Tiger>Western Provinces somehow steamroll literally everything north, east and south of me>try to help them to get some good boy points, they are too fast and just get pissy at me>vampires finally break the NAP, start moving my 2 armies north to the western pass>by the time I get there, there's Greenskins rampaging through the vampire lands so I have to declare war against them to ultimately get all provincial towns>manage to secure two of the closests towns, waiting a little afterwards to deal with vampire attrition >get absolutely steamrolled by 3 huge Greenskin armies and I could see vampire armies closing in tooIdk if I should try salvaging this run before the war against the vampires or just starting again, but either way I'm pretty sure I'm way too low IQ for these games.

>>5692692306 cannons or 4 organ guns could probably solo this before ratlings get into range.>>569269479Thats a quest army, don't worry, they don't move

*puke*>>569270264>6 cannons or 4 organ guns could probably solo this before ratlings get into range.yeah I'll try and take em out with flame cannonsi'll keep going till the campaign becomes unberable ig, because there's about 100 skaven settlements to get ultimate victory so idk if i cna push that much
>>569270450str rankingsidk what happened...
It's honestly so blatant how much CA want to dump Warhammer 3 at this point. People who think that 40k won't come out next year, or December this year at the earliest. Are absurd gay clown rats.
>>569270668If I was a clever skulltaker....I'd make and army that runs around Katarin's borders and fights her enemies and gifts her all the settlements it takes. The Katarin can develop into a superpower.
>>569270925depends how much they are willing to fuck the launching up. Another TTW3 situation brewing?
>>569270925>ratsRude!
>>569270493Thank god I never had to witness this shit. Then again, I did downlaod some mods to stop that happening, so...
>>569271028they eventually do fuck off after congregatingis it rly that hard for CA to fix if a modder can do it thocan't they just check what the mod changed
>>569268894You have to go in all directions at the same time and just play the battles better.>>569270997I think it will release in a pretty good state but the first DLC (After the chaos marines) will be rushed out and fuck up the game.
>>569271114I think its just the vermintide spawn army, anon got the rat scenario
Haven't played since 2025Any news on sieges, bretonnia and public order and corruption rework?

They are made of wet toilet paper.They drop those fucking doombolts on my units.>>569269069>>meanwhile me taking heroic autoresolve of an army attacking my garissonsHad a nice battle yesterday where 2 Dark Elf armies attacked my fort at Helmgart. I didn't think I had a chance, at best maybe I could have wiped out a few of their units, but I did manage to win it. I inflicted massive casualties on both armies, and killed the lords leading each army. Near the end of the battle the only units left on the map were the Dark Elves with 4 units of bolt throwers facing the gates, and I only had 2 field trebuchets and 1 unit of knights of the realm.
>>569270668>Arkham at 57 setlementsIf you can get this bony boy to ve another ally, get money from him (tomb kings pay no upkeep anyway so should be stacked) he might carry againt the rats. Or at least be a 50 turn fodder for them

>>569273202>last played 2 months agohow long until you relapse?
>>569273281idk, I play it in waves, when get the itch maybe for 200 hours then I get so sick of it that I drop it immediately, the gameplay is very repetitive and the lazy z devs refuse to put in new maps into the game, its the best vehicle combat game but it just gets old when u nolife it for a month or so
katarin is still rocking tier 1 unitsim assuming the AI doesn't know how to disband and re-trainand she hasn't done anything in this game except run around
>>569274317This is why I stopped playing with the Closer To Tabletop Overhaul in TW2. If you don't tell the AI to build doomstacks, it'll just spam endless T1 trash.
16 turns.. I think that's enough for today.

>>569271713I like this Kislev better than bear cavalry Kislev
>Ornate Guild Foundries>Settlement income: +5% per turn count (local region)>Settlement income: -5% per settlement owned (local region)How the fuck does this work? I build it in a three settlement region where I own all of them.I'm basically 15% income down from the getgo, but will accumulate 5% every turn?Because I could swear my income is currently going down even though I haven't been recruiting the last couple of turns.
>>569276247I always thought it was for people who want to play tall
>>569276247Disregard my question. I somehow missed some CHAOS FUCKING SHITS raiding my lands
>>569276247pretty sure the accumulated turns quickly compensate
>>569276247It's per settlement owned on the entire map.So basically if you take over one settlement every turn it will never grow, but if you only play with a couple of regions it will add up.

This lord is fresh out of the zoo but his units still performed well above expectations. Cathayan troops are incredibly solid.Also, if the AI did anything but send off his Daemon Prince alone then I would be utterly doomed.
>>569279447like what in the fuck is this? hello? balance department?
>>569274631Like I give a fuck, BIIIITCH
>>569279609well that stack is done for gonna go cook enough of this campaign for today...
>>569272314Gonna try this anon. You better NOT disappoint me.
>still Chink mods for hotter BashivaWhat's taking them so long?>>569275713F
>>569271118These all happened between turns 10 - 25. I was barely sustaining 1 good army and 1 meh army, while Western Provinces and Greenskins were rolling around with multiple 20/20 armies. And I'm already playing Campaign Map on easy.Maybe it's my fault because I'm not micromanaging the mages well enough, but still I was easily winning fights until I got to those that where most of my army broke after clashing with the enemy.I'll try again without the Minor Factions buff option, I checked the starting map and in all 3 saves the most dominant and steamrolling factions were those that start with 1 settlement. But it's probably legit just a skill issue on my part.

Hi! Do you ever go back to the older Total Wars?
Can I get warriors of chaos or chaos knights as allied recruitment if I ally WoC as Morathi?
>>569281310>implying I even play the new ones
>>569281310I'm playing medieval 2 right now
>>569281310No, total war 3 is the best one by far simply because of how different factions are.
>>569269925Letting him remain as a nominal ruler makes the Aenarion hatefuck roleplay spicier and is more fun than simply keeping him in Morathi’s rape dungeon.

>>569284637Pointy hair!
>>569284637Why they are all dwarfchads.
Ia Greasus fatfuck fun to use?
>>569286148Absolutely not.He's so fucking broken in the "he barely even works" kind of way.His Tyrant's Demands are actually really good though, and making a giant ogre kingdom that takes all of the Mountains of Morn feels fucking amazing. Could just install his reskin, but then it also kinda feels like you're losing Greasus' identity.
>>569283056Hope you're ready. The MP scene will EXPLODE with Warhammer 40,000
>>569286148His Tyrants Demands are fun. As a lord he has huge stats on paper but consistently struggles to hit anything for some reason. He is also slower than your normal Ogres so he gets left behind. I prefer to replace him with normal Ogre Tyrant, which I find awesome. Fully leveled they can hit >100 MA and like 650 WS.

>>569289509I agree, farseers are meant for no-name IG grunts
>>569289885That's a banshee thoughever
>>569284649Gyros are for anything that can't fight back. Ideally shooting in the back with the flame version to break the unit. But also decent at disabling ranged with some micro.Slayers are hight damage both ways. Will always win against their prefered target type but take heavy losses. You get more choice of prefered target with the doomseekers.The hewers, however, are busted with the upgrades. If you make a frontline out of them, most melle troops just won't reach them
>>569290207>GyrosKebab
any mods that allows chaos corruption to not fuck over my allies? Whenever I play Slaanesh or Tzeentch my corruption effect just ruins the factions that becomes my Vassal with slow growth and their armies suffering from low control in their regions

>>569290093Is it just me or is she giving off "I'm going to rim you" vibes?
>>569281337Yeah ? I mean you can get all units from your allies as any faction.
>>569283185That guy painted some:https://www.artstation.com/milek
>>569277404what's your vision for the race?
>>569292863Closer to medieval-renaissance eastern europe, as old kislev was.Ice magic is restricted to just actual ice mage casters.More historical streltsi and winged hussars, bears are just a lord mount, grom is replaced by a sled pulled by horses with a large conventional mortar, and include those obscure siege towers bristling with cannons that were in vogue in russia for a while as a high tier artillery unit.
>>569291307>Vilitch, Azazel, Valkia and Festus specifically give their vassals protection against their own flavour of corruption.isn't this only other Norsca factions?
>>569274631>Trying to build a Khorne army>My options are melee infantry, more melee infantry, melee cavalry, uuuhhhNo magic and no guns makes a man snooze
>>569294778Khorne has guns (cannons) though
>>569295690They are garbage though. They shoot shoot like twice before running out of ammo (missing both shots) then to get ammo back you go into melee and crumble because you have 12 melee defense.
Now that we have tigermenWhen Ind Nagas?
So are all Cathayan armies gonna look like this now?
>>569295830They're basically chariots, they mulch through infantry if you can bother clicking them aroundIt's just a high micro unit on a faction that is full retard mode everywhere else

>>569287110I kinda want that to happen because Turin dedicated a good chunk of his life into making total war MP a thing and his autism is laudableThat being said, I predict a "grand campaign" in which your OC dudes will contribute to an online theater by playing MP battles and thus I think MP will be more popular
>>569296191I saw an idea here that said the 3 Ind beastmen types should have been made into their own faction for the continent that seemed interesting>snakemen cavalry>monke archers/wizard>tiger infantryI feel like GW snubbed Ind content because they wanted to do stuff on the tabletop first before CA relased anything for it
>>569300907Could pull a minor faction thing like they did with the southern realms, having it use the Cathay stuff but only having access to some of it.
>>569296191never everdechala was made as a compromise for khuresh never being added and she's an *lf (and will probably have her assets reused for fulgrim in 40k)

>>569300907"Beast Kingdoms" was one of the concepts discusses but I prefer a blend of humans and beastmen living side by side in a strict caste system.Then you can still have shit like Naga warriors and Camel guns.
should you enable shield wall in each n every melee in rome 1 or nah? maybe its kinda like yari wall

>>569303516Yeah, for mobile.
>>569303607Don't you own a phone?
>>569302574It makes your units clump which is bad vs chariots, rear charges, flanking/rear missiles, and artillery. but it gives you +5 melee defense I think. so yeah turn it on for a straightforward melee.
Recruit Tiger Sawai LordHide in friendly territoryWait for opponent to step a single centimetre into my landEnable Stalking stanceRight clickAmbushAutoresolveOutplayed
>>569302189"Heavy" and light never referred to their armour, but their role on the battlefield. Heavy infantry do the main melee fighting and thus need to remain in tight formations and conservate stamina for battle. Light infantry scout, screen and protect flanks so they can afford to act more independently and tire themselves out running around.In ancient Hellenic armies, heavy infantry were "heavy" because of the weight of the shield and pike they carried. The terms just kind of spread from there.Total War has pretty much never been good at modelling this kind of distinction.
>>569304112they shouldn't have violated the NAP
this was extremely easy but now I actually have to war a faction, rome it is I guess
>>569304637WRE is a rotting structure, just one push and it'll all come crashing down
>>569304456I dunno about Greek armies but light and heavy infantry (and cavalry) did in fact usually correspond to armor in Roman armies. Antesignani were light troops and usually only wore a bronze breastplate, subarmalis or tunic to move around the battlefield faster.

LONDINIUM WILL FALL
>2026>still the superior Warhammer Total War gameWarhammer 3 just feels terrible to play. Most of the campaigns are a complete clusterfuck. Everything devolves into demons demons demons, ogres ogres ogres, skaven skaven skaven. They added a bunch of inane features that ultimately detract from the overall experience, and half the new races aren't even fun to play. Warhammer 2 on the other hand is tasteful and refined experience that elegantly builds on its predecessor.
>>569313068worst battle map ever tho for attackingi guess they placed that stack strategically
>>569311704>can't start a battle and see the city and mountains you were near on the campaign map>even the system where you could fight on quest battle maps if you fought close enough to landmarks was broken in wh3 and still hasn't been fixedI'VE BECOME SO NUMB
>>569313506lemme fink about it... no!
>>569314338>can't start a battle and see the city and mountains you were near on the campaign mapActually that technology was rediscovered in 3k, then it became lost again
>>569314686It wasn't lost at all until Warhammer. Well except in maybe Empire and Napoopan, I was never quite sure if its battles matched up with the campaign map. But it was in Shogun 2, Rome 2, Attila and 3K.
>>569314686Because CA's abysmal version control means that every good game is a dear end fork of the previous WH version and never remerged into the main branch.
The worst part is, by far, that we got so many newfags into this franchise that solely played warham and think its the greatest shit ever because of all the shiny keys dangling in the game, despite having the depth of a puddle
What happened to skaven and beastmen rape and NTR spammers?I remember when a few years ago as soon as an elven woman was posted in /teg/ a ratposter or beastposter would reply describing how she is a whore for rat/beast cock or how write smut about her getting fucked
>>569315028I've played most of the games since shogun and I still think warhammer is the best one since it has actual variety.
>>569315113People moved on, this game franchise is a decade old
>>569315113don't speak their name ffs you'll beckon them
>>569315150>spam archers and heroes for every single faction>varietyYou see a shiny neon light and think its god
>>569315113Skaven spammers have (mostly) been MIA since the guy spamming the skaven killing squire OP was yeeted.
>>569315113They finally reflected on their mistakes and became successful and well adjusted adults.
>>569315380Why would I do that when I can play warhammer instead?Anyway, Total War games never have been particularly good or deep, they just do a specific thing nobody else does. It's no wonder most TWW fans aren't Total War fans as much as they are just Warhammer fans who want to watch digital representations of their toys mash against each other. That's all the series is good for anyway.
>>569315113They passed away tragically from their gooning addiction
Dechala is so retardedly op that even the dipshit AI can make her a threat. I just overcasted final transmutation 5 times in one battle and still managed to lose against her stack. Chariots don't route with less than 300 hp and instantly melt any infantry they run into. Christ this faction is so fucking gay to fight.
>>569315380Quite a few factions have zero archers.
>>569315380Hey man, sometimes I spam monsters instead of archers
>>569315663It wasnt always the caseCampaigns used to be fun instead of being intermission for the battlesWhich is the entire point being made here
>enemy running like a bitch and playing timeFUCKK
>>569315884I disagree and I don't think you have a point.
>>569315380spamming archers is so wh2 unc
If campaigns dont matter why MP isnt more popular?Or why people dont just play skirmishes all day long? touche retards
>>569294272You'd need jump back pre-8th for that to happen.
>>569315113I'm still here!>ratposter Dead withTrump cutting USAID.
>>569315446The funny thing about that fag he was always there when a new thread started to make the OP. He even got his image MD5 banned a few times by jannies since they got sick of deleting the same schizo post every day kek
romano british spawning out of nowhere kicked my asssighI knew the game was lookin too easy
>>569316483another day another Romano-British WGraal chads keep winning
>>569315884>Campaigns used to be fun
>>569316483>he fell for the romano-british gambitlol, always love seeing newbies not know about the romano-british spawn
>>569315113Their shitposts couldn't become /twg/ mainstays because of how disruptive they were, if they just ritualpost a Beastman ntr meme or something then they'd stay, unfortunately they made themselves too divisive and more to the point they were flooding not only the thread but the catalog too. This meant that the furfags and the jannies spent years fighting a silent war, when they all disappeared a daily /v/ thread appeared that was basically /twg/ for ratfags but even /v/ jannies got sick of that eventually and now they're nowhere to be seen.
>>569314987This probably one of the worst things about CA. Rome 2 was awful, new engine and all that. Whatever. Good shit from Attila didn't get ported. Warhammer 2 was a mess for years because it didn't factor in Warhammer 1 stuff. Reintroduced bugs that had been fixed. Twice. Fucking twice they reintroduced bugs that were no longer an issue in 1. 3 fucked up all sorts of shit that should have been carried over from 1 and 2, and barely any of 3Ks quality fixes.
>>569316643I can either try ambushing them here or fleeing like a bitch and coming back with more army>>569316869so the trigger for them spawning is rome losing london?
>>569315983Warhammer has pretty much consistently had the worst campaign mechanics for any Total War game. 3 is about the first game where some DLC faction LL are starting to complexity in their mechanics, and even then it's like 5-6 abstract mechanics bolted onto a really dumbed down version of Rome 2.
>>569317010yeah, anytime the romans get kicked out of britain during the campaign the romano-british spawn. the ostrogoths can also spawn if a revolt takes over a gothic settlement.
>>569317010Romano British get a full stack when they spawn? But I only get 8 units when I emerge..
>>569317496yeah+ horse archerswhat kinda ambush is this dudeits just a normal battle start, they even start "fresh"
>>569317117They have always been barebones and only there to facilitate the fantasy of being a general in a historical period. If you really care about in depth strategy there are much better series to play. Warhammer has somewhat simplified overall campaign mechanics but it also has far more variety in every other way. You don't have to like it and I'm sure most TWW fans don't give a fuck if you do, really, because they're Warhammer fans first and Total War fans second (if at all). Personally I like older Total War games because I like history, and I like TWW because I like Warhammer too. But I would play none of them purely for the gameplay.I can sympathise with feeling bitter about that since I've watched many things I like become more popular after releasing a version that diverged from what I liked in the first place. But at some point you just have to move on instead of directing your impotent rage at people who just like something you don't. At least you've got Medieval 3 to look forward to.
>>569316643pretty cool dudes
Consider becoming a Champion of Nurgle.
>>569318208consider becoming an easterling
>>569318208Exalted Heroes of Nurgle are so damn good. I am playing Cathay right now and they don't really have any strong melee heroes.
these guys are awesome
>>569317904i still dunno what the ambush advantage is but the enemies did act pretty retarded in this battle
Waiting for Neferata.
>>569318476uhh... hmm.
>>569319057I thought blue wizards were dead...
>>569318046NTA but I can also take a third option and enjoy Warhammer for what is and still not smugly deny that missing basic shit like dynamic weather from seasons, encampment battles and battle maps reflecting from the campaign maps isn't rather pathetic when the entire thing your series has going for it is the campaign layer affecting the battle layer
>>569319184DO THEY LOOK DEAD TO YOU
>They expected a trailer, real gameplay or even a release date
>>569319547Maybe we will see some new content on some background computer monitors.
Do you think they.. you know..
>>569319613god I hope so
>>569319251I've not heard a single person claim these games are perfect, quite the opposite. It's just that for everything that's "missing" there are 10 things the other games don't have. There's no denying that in terms of "content" TWW3 is a lot bigger than any Total War before. Arguably not always to its benefit as a video game if you're not a fan of Warhammer, but there it is.
>>569319613both fuck Taurox? Yes
JUST GIVE UP
>>569319461Maybe it's just some old charlatan playing dress up
>>569319613Slay stunties ? Yes.
>>569319613Malekith's nieces are so cute!
>>569318208why do ppl say nurgle's one big family and all happy and shit but then all their dudes are covered in blood and gore of people they killed
>>569319754The 10 things the other games don't have (if we're talking about campaign layer that is) is almost always invariably some sort of screen where you click buttons after accomplishing some task to get a reward, if not outright a basic mechanic from previous games repackaged and sold as something new, a la the skaven food or delf loyalty mechanic. I don't like Warhammer despite its faults, I like Warhammer and will loudly proclaim that its faults are the result of laziness as should anyone who likes this series.
>>569319807itsover
>>569320226it's not their family they've killed
>>569320226>i-is that.... a dude trying to improve his life? AAAGGGHHHHH SAVE ME NURGLEMAN I'M GONNA KILLLLLLL
>>569319547well I expected something, literally anythingwhy would they go to skulls, the warhammer show where they announce new games and dlcs, just to hype up their presence at the upcoming PC Games Show presence, and when they get to said major PC gaming show where many different studios working in different genres drop trailers and reveal new titles they... show concept art and host a self-fellating interview about how totally awesome their game is gonna be trust me browhy waste your skulls slot hyping up this shit? what the fuck is wrong with CA?
>>569318046This is silly. Warhammer's campaign is significantly simpler than the likes of R1, Med 2, Empire, R2, Attila, and 3K. Not just a by a bit, significantly. Also the battle mechanic complexity is overstated, since the game might be adding stuff but its also reducing the importance of things like formations, unit cohesion, lines of sight, terrain, and morale shocks. Pretending otherwise is just a cope.Now personally I reallu enjoy Warhammer, warts and all. Its a fun spectacle. But its not complex.
>>569320226It's papa Nurgle enemies' blood.
sap point? dafuq is this? just a hole in the wall?
>>569320745I'm not trying to say it's complex, I'm trying to say Total War isn't complex in general.
>>569320871it's a tunnel, you send a unit in and they tunnel below the walls to cause a segment of it to collapse
>>569320881Older TWs were more complex on the campaign layer, and pivoting to some weird argument about those old games not being as complex as grand strategy games is rather odd.
>>569320740Anon ... the whole Skull trailer with Yarrick at Armageddon was mainly to advertise 40k new edition releasing by the end of the month with a Armageddon themed box.
>>569321168I'm not pivoting, you are. All I wanted to say was that anon having some weird sense of superiority over people liking a "simplified" version of his simple game was pathetic. Everything else is irrelevant.
>>569320871You put guys in it. They slowly dig underground toward the walls. Walls crumble.You can now enter the city.Dwarfs and Skaven should get it when siege rework
>>569321483>when
AI is merciless whenever it smells weakness mangonna deal w this tomorrow
>>569321363People constantly bringing up older TWs having better campaign features even if they're obnoxious about it are extremely valuable every time CA is developing a new TW game and designing features. Meanwhile people who have only played WH and just like it without complaint are not particularly good for feedback to prevent CA from stagnating, now are they? There's nothing wrong with the latter type of player existing but the former type is pretty damn valuable. We've seen this with several series now.
>>569322209Yes, I agree. I just wanted to call anon a faggot.
>>569322209Rome II having a bunch of bullshit busywork like the politics system is nowhere close to as interesting as stuff like the chaos dwarf favor/materials/armaments cycle or even Nu-norsca's altar stuff.
>>569323058Do you seriously think the chaos dwarf loop is a Warhammer innovation?
>>569323261Name the previous total war title that had it.
I have never completed a world conquest. The closest I ever came was reforming Alexander's Empire in Rome 2 which was probably over half of the map.
I like a lot of the new factions' campaign mechanics in Warhammer imo they're enough, for me though, assigning so many fucking levels on lords/heroes all the time in Warhammer is more busy-work than politics in Rome 2, I wish there was just a template u can set for each type of char and have the auto manage shit follow it
>>569323058Rome 2 campaign was also shit and warhammer campaign is shit due to it But you fags like rome 2 so Idk, I think im just not the target audience for total war anymore
>>569324212Medieval 2's entire conceit is low tier units with limited high tier units locked behind bettering your infrastructure. Empire's colonial gameplay is entirely based on low tier native units until you build up infrastructure for true gunpowder and cannon gameplay. And the Conclave is functionally a tweaked version of Attila and 3K's political position system. Plus Yuan Shao pretty much had a version of armaments in 3K with his captain armoury. This is not to say I don't like chorfs in WH3, in fact they're definitely top 3 in terms of having faction mechanics that all integrate with each other in a well balanced fashion and make you play in an interesting way. It's obvious CA put their time into really designing them instead of doing the easy "buff yourself into oblivion" approach many DLC LLs have had in WH3. But they are firmly under "repackaged mechanics/gameplay loop from old TW games."
>>569325031What is the best Total War campaign in your eyes? What campaign features specifically are a highlight for you?
>slog through Dechala's op armies buffed to high heaven by her retarded mechanics>Tamurkhan has taken over most of the mountains and is at war with me>have my armies move towards him>nearly 20k hp with regeneration, ward save, 30% phys res, and over 1k anti-infantry + large weapon strength>3 crane gunners, 6 jade warrior crossbows, and 2 iron hails focus him for almost a full minute and barely dent his health bar>solos my armyYeah, I'm done. The dlc power creep fucking ruined this game. Even the dipshit ai can roll you over with these giant ball of stats because they made them so fucking easy mode to play. I'm not even at tier 4 yet and I'm supposed to be able to fight this garbage? Is the only way to play this stupid fucking game now to use autism strats where you cheese the fuck out of the game to win in 5 turns?
>>569326334Got to ambush Mr Tamurkhan or have your Legendary Lord's army fight him. Pretty sure he is the single most powerful entity in the game.Just started Dechala for the first time ever and I noticed that a lot of her troops had unique marks. She controls about 1/3 of Cathay.
>>569318208>yea bro nurgle isn't that bad
>>569326492I had Zhao and an alchemist spamming final transmutation on him and he still ended the battle with 6k hp left. Honestly the only way I think I can possibly win is to roll up with several stacks and just auto resolve him. Fuck this.
>>569326334The cramped map and powercreep is genuinely ruining the game for me.
>>569318208I'm already one :3I haven't showered in a month
>>569318665>they don't really have any strong melee heroesCelestial General is very strong though?
>>569325212Your definition of repackaged mechanics is completely ludicrous. I also need to emphasize that the original claim was that things have been dumbed down since Rome II.
>>569327050He is strong but he is a lord.
>>569318208Consider becoming a Champions of Slaanesh
>>569327147the gay master is pretty good too
>>569327220Gate Masters are basically Cathayan engineers and you should use them as such
>>569327220They are slightly tanky but the main reason to bring them along is for all of the army-wide buffs.
>>569327131The original claim was that it's been dumbed down (which is true for certain mechanics like weather, fort maps, battle maps based on terrain) OR it's repackaged mechanics are sold as some brand new thing for one race to deal with when it's a basic mechanic every faction dealt with in previous games. Everything I mentioned in my post about previous games is something every faction dealt with except Yuan Shao's captain armoury. And thanks for not contesting any actual point I made, I accept your concession I guess.
>>569327131Also I'm not the original anon that said Warhammer 3 is just 5-6 Rome 2 mechanics bolted onto factions. Base game Rome 2 is probably the most dumbed down game in the series after Warhammer even if I have a soft spot for it because of DEI and the great city maps.
I am expecting Nagash and Glottkin to be lords that cause players a lot of grief in battle.Nagash is going to be a formidable warrior with overpowered spells.Glottkin is going to be a juggernaut with a ranged attack and he might also cast spells.
Any tips for Eshin?
>>569313506Have a (you), because I'm so nice.
>>569328330Haven't played them since TW2 but I'm pretty sure you still spam your slinger guys in the early game. Even if you're not a doomstack person, everything else you've got at your disposal sucks ass. Especially since I think you now have to fight Chorfs.
ATTENTION EVERYONEhttps://files.catbox.moe/cb5o89.mp4that is all.
>>569328623Eshin starts in the middle of Cathay lmao.
>>569328696Imagine if we had had his back. Vgh...what could've been.
>>569328696I am happy for him that he left desu
>>569328746Oh yeah, you're right. Well, in that case, I'd still go for slingers. Sniktch boosts them by a lot.
>>569328696Shant apologize for misinfoing Legend until he apologizes for misinfoing Pharaoh.
>>569327592You cannot seriously be arguing that Medieval II or Emprie are more complicated games than warhammer 3.
>>569328696>someone "leaks" early wip concepts>legend thinks it's the next dlc 100% guaranteed>next dlc is something else>goes full schizo and starts pretending ca changed their plans due to him shitting on early wip concepts>never backs down and becomes the community's biggest lolcow (yes, bigger than volound)lmao
>>569329068He's only bigger than Vololund because the only time people remembered Vololund exists was when he briefly cooperated with Legend.
>>569329001Can you actually contest anything I'm saying or are you just going to continue offering nothing of substance.
>>569329068He was right though. Bhashiva and Taoyan were both leaked by him, as was "lord of shangyang". One of her unique mechanics. i'd assume Mung was binned wholesale however.
>>569329260>ca doesn't stop working in early wip concepts because some irrelevant youtuber """leaked""" them>this means he was rightlmao
>>569329424The pivot was correct, Legend was vindicated and you need to hang yourself immediately.
>>569329515LMAO
uh oh anti-legend clique melty!!
In the end the pivot did nothing, the game isn't any more or less popular now.
>>569325785>Best Total War Campaign in your eyes?I don't have a favorite one, but I know I saw improvements in each game up until rome 2.The mechanics that I loved and I miss dearly>Leaderless armies >Smaller battles in average due to the above>Fog of War and watchtowers>Free building system>Universal unit caps based on pop>Taxes based on population numbers>Actual population numbers>Battle maps reflecting campaign map>Weather>Day time>General speeches >Diplomacy needing an agent>Agent cutscenes>Trade nodes>Family trees that are not slapped ontop of a Legendary hero character>actual aging for characters reflecting on their portrait and stats>Wall tug-of-war due to towers being chokepoints>Cities having 3d models of the buildings you built >out-of-combat city camera with citizens walking around>forts (thank you 3k and pharaoh)>naval battles>Organic traits full of sovl >armor upgrades for everyone>armor upgrades that changed the visuals of the unit>pushback and physical crowding on units>no auto replenishment vastly reduced the pace and immersion
>>569329190It raining sometimes is not the same as having to remember what each of the 32 lores of magic are good at. It just isn't. Religion mechanics aren't the same as seducing and vassalizing as slaanesh, or even Khorne/Taurox movement shenanigans.
>>569329817>and increased immersion*correction
I've literally forgotten what the tomb king lore is called
>>569330374Lore of "place where they're from".
Fortissimi milites Carthaginienses contra infirmissimum exercitum Romanum.
>>569329817>Trade nodes>Diplomacy needing an agentwhy the fuck would you miss these>>569330456oh right yeah
>>569329839>It raining sometimes is not the same as having to remember what each of the 32 lores of magic are good at. It just isn't.No one has mentioned the complications of army building that Warhammer introduced, in fact it was explicitly put aside at the start as what Warhammer does bring to the table. Can you read?>Religion mechanics aren't the same as seducing and vassalizing as slaaneshManaging the politics and diplomacy of your empire in 3K is, yes. Juggling the combination of immigration, sanitation, loyalty and fertility of your empire in Attila is, yes. Managing the economics, naval combat and political blocs of your empire in Empire is, yes. Even managing the politics of Rome 2's parties apparently is with how much people complain about failing at it. I'm really starting to think you haven't actually played any of the previous games because you're remarkably unable to comment on their systems in any substantive capacity.
>>569327153Fantasy Slaanesh followers have so much more aura than 40K Slaanesh, why is 40K so allergic to having other weapons than swords and bolter styled weapons?
>>569330520Because they actual gave you something to do each turn that did not boil down to >where do I force march my stack to next?Trade nodes in special, were good for giving you an objective other than painting the map, since you needed to take them from the AI or defend it
I just realized that delves don't have access to all 8 regular lores
>>569329817>watchtowers>Diplomacy needing an agentI do not miss these, you're an oldbeard there. Rome 2 did introduce amphibious landings and unique historical city maps which I welcome back in the future.
>>569330980I'm a simple old manI don't like the ADHD gotta-go-fast-or-get-swamped gameplay of warhammer campaigns but I also am not an autist that want every unit to be named after their real historical counterpart like in DEI.I just want some meat to chew on the campaign map
>>569331096Those two things specifically always leaned too much into busywork unlike all the other features they've dropped over the years. Granted I don't think they took advantage of good diplomacy despite making it instantaneous barring 3K and Pharaoh but I prefer it over diplomat agents. Watchtowers just sucked, I remember crying tears of joy when Stainless Steel introduced automatic watchtowers as an option.
>>569331505I don't know, I like watchtowers, but they would need to also work flawlessly for the AIWhat I mean is, I like the idea of taking the AI by surprise, but I know it is janky as fuck to execute this and ambush stance was their "fine" solution to itI also like how it made you more cautious, so its one more reason to not be gung-ho in your expansion
