Every turn you get popup: choose one of these 3 random factions. You get to teleport to their nearest enemy once, then you have 5-10 turns to beat enough of their armies/take their settlements for a reward thats always meat, cash and perhaps a short buff/random ancillary. Repeat 10 times to win campaign.

I dunno what units u are using but if you try checkerboards with archers, that's never gonna work in WH3, that's a 2 thing.
What you can do tho is use flamers, troll hammer torpedos and blasting charge units on the outside of your checker. They are tankier, shoot too and don't mind getting railed a bit. Archers always run away...
>>

We appreciate campaign-posting.
I'm doing an Arbaal: This is Total War run. Every turn consists of 5-10 factions begging me for peace treaties.
I managed to defeat and confed Skarbrand and we're migrating into the Dark Lands where I plan to establish my core territory. My starting regions have been conquered by Boris.

If you play Khorne again, u gotta get yourself a slaughterbrute... these things are hype af.
Kairos is always 100% manual battles. Very similar to Skarbrand. You can never auto anything unless you make a chosen stack.
>>
>>569361102
Also I've been really disappointed with Touch of Dust. On paper it seems great (Executioner + ~500 extra damage per swing that hits, roughly doubling your DPS), but in reality it performs like shit. It deals 5 damage per entity up to 25 entities, so hitting Monstrous units or SEMs makes its damage go down the toilet. It also seems to be affected by armor, so anything armored is going to take only 5-20% damage, ie nothing at all. Should've picked +100% spell intensity over this.

>>569361223
Thanks for the recommendation. Sadly I don't have that DLC. Is there anything that makes Slaughterbrutes so special? I really loved using the Soul Grinders of Khorne as pseudo-chariots: Charge in, push through, loop back blasting them with precursor weapon. It counts as artillery so being charged + Terror + artillery shock tends to rout things very quickly and is super fun since you dont have that much micro otherwise as Khorne.

I group em with my soulgrinders and bloodcrusher as cav group. They can keep up which is good. I just really love how they annihilate infantry lines. They just stomp and flail around throwing infantry everywhere. I've watched mine run through 3 lines to murder. They also tend to kill more than a soulgrinder. They just have huge aoe attacks.

gotta love the shitty earlygame missile unit that carries ur whole earlygame in classic TW
a complaint with warhammer is that its kinda retarded how you start with tier 3-4 units in ur army and then u get access to em rly fast with various mechanics, u have 0 appreciation for the tier 1 units

but ig they did that for more fast paced campaigns

T1/0 units should be freely spammable and T2+ should be reigned in by unit caps or unit replenishment mechanics(kinda like WoC recruitment style), with high tier troops being available relatively early in very low numbers and then higher tier settlements and recruitment buildings increasing their availability and ease of recruitment
This way armies would be a mixture of elite, cheap and mid tier troops, like in mp battles
>>
>>569369369
Good luck getting the AI to do any of this. We've already had units that require multiple buildings to recruit and the AI just doesn't know what to do. Almost every single mechanical downgrade in this series is due entirely to CA being unable to actually do anything with their AI.

>>
>>569372501
Kind of.
Weapon strength is the damage you deal per hit (before mitigation) and MA is your hit chance. But the actual hit calculation has a fairly generous minimum, charge bonus greatly increases your MA during its duration and depending on which game you're playing there's a pretty significant bonus for attacking an enemy's flank/rear. So a unit with shit MA can still find ways to deal a lot of damage and get a lot of kills.

Attack speed is also a factor. A unit that attacks twice a second with 20% hit chance is going to land hits more often than a unit that attacks once per minute with an 80% hit chance. A unit with a fast attack rate isn't penalized as much for having low MA.
>>
So this is a good special location right

he should just run...
>>
>>569372501
Yes. If your MA is equal to enemy MD, you have 35% chance to hit. Every point of MA over or under enemy MD increases/decreases hit chance by 1%. Minimum hit chance is 8% IIRC, or in other words you miss ~11 out of 12 attacks.

Due to nature of hit calculations there's no direct formula, but every 1 MA over enemt MD increases your damage by ~3%, and vice versa. The more MA you have the less effective it is though, and the more you are under equal number the more your damage suffers (so having 5 MD means more damage reduction than having 5 MA means damage increase).
>>
>>569370490
>>569370251
Date have to deal with the fact that the provinces in the north are much larger, meaning that the AI gets extra recruitment turns before you reach them. That first battle against the AI (not rebels) is surprisingly challenging because of that. After that it's pretty straight forward though. Really though, they should start further south.

Depends on what you're fighting, even with low MA you'll get quite a few hits in when fighting low MDef units or flanking stuff
WS to dps ratio is linear in theory(X% more WS is X% more dps) but when fighting infantry/cavalry the most important thing would be the amount of hits needed to kill a model and if you can't hit the next breakpoint then the extra damage is "wasted"

It's bot that simple.
Skarbrand being hurt means taking very careful moves which can result in complete bankruptcy within a couple turns.
If a hurt Skarbrand overextends and gets caught and dies, the campaign is over.

I think that something funky is going on with the numbers. My Iron Claw Tiger Warriors have no chevrons but enjoy 92 melee defence. Those numbers are so absurd that even tier 5 anti-infantry would have a hard time getting through. Oh, and I forgot to mention that they have 60 weapon strength which is majority armour-piercing.

>>569366358
not really relevant though, is it? Greatswords were always t3 in terms of buildings and "t2" (500-1000 range) in terms of upkeep. melee infantry is also the one unit category that the Empire has never received a DLC unit for. and sure, a bunch of other factions can have "tier 2" melee infantry at t0 now (looking at you Khorne and Kislev), but greatswords were always bums. even moreso in tw1, they were out there losing to chaos warriors and shit

Do we really have no idea what Proto-Germanic sounded like? Hearing them talk back in modern German is so jarring.

We have some ideas, but they could have at least spoken Old High German. The comments flippantly talking about actual Latin being spoken instead of British accents don't seem to get that Latin was chosen for the Romans to make them sound foreign don't seem to realize modern German was chosen for the show for the same reason British accent Romans are chosen. British accent Romans are just intended to be sympathized with instead of Barbarians Romans.
