Be a good person
>>570355749Honestly you'd think someone in Black Library would write a series of books detailing the Fall of Cathay.
Thanquol soon, friends!
update when?
Loli. Legendary. Lords.
SILVER. SHIELD. PIKEMEN.
>>570356385Fuck, wrong screenshot, I think this is actually thorax pikemen. It's fucking over
Norsca! Together weak!
>>570356173This post was reported by the CCP for hurting the feelings of Chinese people.
>Another week gone without Nagash newsGrim.
>>570356884Well nobody said it had to be a god damn steamroll.
>>570357029I heard he's weak. How's that for Nagash news?
So, are there any mods to have a Mercenary experience like Golgfag but it isn't just ogres? Like, an un-canon LL whose big deal is he can recruit ANY unit within reason.
>only website for info about units and abilities is the shitty fandom wiki someone vibe code a list of all the stuff in the game before i have to do it myself...
Cathay > Empire
so close to total skaven death then I can finally move onto other campaigns, but enough for today...
>>570357248Get groodgebringer mod. It's fun and not braindead like golgfaggot.
>>570357248Why would u want that? If you can recruit any unit and be immortal like golgfag, your entire campaign is just rot knight or chosen of nurgle stacks like Tamurkhan so go play tamurkhan.
>>570357321Dunno about abilities but this has always been the go to site for unit stats anon: https://twwstats.com/unitscards
>>570348270Yeah, but Arbaal and Tamurkhan are probably top 5 duellists.
>>570356970Yeah I'm definitely trying this. Saved your post as a future guide.
Hello and welcome this is Liquid Legend of Total War.This is a Bretonnia build. This is how you play them. Recruit: this. Dont recruit: everything else. Thank you!
Who is the richest Legendary Lord in Total War?
>>570357575Very good for generic units but mind that lords/heros show up as they are in skirmish/mp modes so they might look quite diferent from their campaign performances
>>570358052Depends on the metricPure currency? Probably Settra or one of the Skaven (who trade in warpstone and hoard gold so other races can't have it)Land? Probably one of the cathay dragons or high elves
>>570357570I did, and I hate his starting location and the fact that you have to deal with Kolek early turns and then the fucking Everchosen looking at my bussy like Axel in Harlem.
>>570358472What about Greesus and Noctilus?
>>570358052Counting or not counting transmutated gold?
40k tank design is so goofyI love it
Really glad 40k has domination mechanics so cheap units can fulfil their potential like MPElite spammers on suicide watch
>>570359302It'll be patched when people complain. Just like this weird shitty "drop into battles and do some objective" nonsense.
>>570357248Grudgbringer
>>570359776no akshuallyYou will get your Xcom objectives to win the greater war and you will like it
>>570359227Reality still weirdmogs as always
>>570357774thanks me too
>>570359921I get 40k is all about making you feel small and unimportant but I didn't think they'd take it to heart and change the gameplay to be nothing ever happens: the game.
>>570360273How? All it really means is that there is fake fighting outside the map boundary, you still end that war and move on to the next planet by winning the battles
>>570357774>>570360189You'll want to look up the confederate cheese to get him before Teclis deletes him but yeah his searing doom hits like a comet of cassandora once you get that spell intensity skill
>>570358593There is a mod for it, it's called change starting location. Stop being a moron.
>>570360526I'm not really sure they ever stated how planet conquering will work and if a planet ever truly stays conquered but considering that the gameplay is mostly going to consist of randomly generated system maps I don't see how the overarching campaign isn't going to just be spinning wheels, at least far more than any other TW campaign. Regardless of if the mid-progress battle stuff involves other guys just fighting off-screen, which we don't know, battle objectives are gay and remind me of release Rome 2 and the shit Realms of Chaos battles.
Would you invest in a Skaven company that sends satellites into space?
>>570361454but ours is already warpstone-addled
>>570361454Superior dwarf-thing technology they say! Rat first thing in space I say-say!
>>570361454Elon Musktrat
>>570361454Yes because they would try to create the best satellites just because they can

how's tabletop tavern so far?
>>570372034Why is he so loud?
Fun fact:Despite Temple Guards being labeled as "Armor-Piercing" and Blessed Saurus Warriors lacking the label, Saurus Warriors actually do MORE armor-piercing damage due to having massively more damage per swing.
>>570373092The perfect vigour is the insane part
The men are wavering
>>570373092yeah Blessed Saurus Warriors are rape trains. "Damage dealer" should probably be on their unit card since it's possible to overlook that difference between them and the base unit at a glance. but I'm pretty sure the ap label just gets applied based on the ap:base ratio and if it's higher than 1 the unit is labeled armor-piercing.we can make the same comparison between, say, Miners and Chosen of Khorne (Dual Weapons). the takeaway is that marginal points of armor will be more effective at reducing the damage dealt by Blessed Saurus Warriors/Chosen (Dual Weapons), than it would be vs Temple Guard/Miners
>>570373092makes sense, regular saurus warriors already do insane AP damage
>>570373890Quick, post morale to rally the men!
>>570368160After The Last World hardresets the setting perhaps
>>570374001the bullet points on unit cards are just there to help people understand the unit, they're not "applied" or anything
>>570373890let them hear the tales of old
Never noticed they can lose limbs like undead
>>570374001>takeawayPhwoaar could go for a chinkies me like
>>570374349yeah, I know. I'm saying the fact that they have significantly more damage (and it's all AP) should probably be represented somehow in the bullet points, specifically because it would make it easier to understand the difference between the blessed variant and the default.>+13% health (this is true of every blessed unit to be fair)>+8 melee attack>+ 8 charge bonus>+25% weapon strength and it's all AP>perfect vigouronly the last one is represented in the reminder text
>>570374910Based and fatcuntpilled
>>570373303That too. After being exhausted, MA alone goes down by 30%. In other words, if two equal units fight when exhausted, the Perfect Vigor one has almost 50% higher MA. Stack penalties to MD, armor and charge bonus and equal fight turns into one-sided slaughter.>>570374001AP label gets applied automatically if unit has more than 50% armor piercing. I'd like to point out that you got your things backwards in your "miners vs chosen" comparison however. Its not about lower-tier unit just having high ap-fraction, that is nothing special. Its about lower tier unit having so much non-ap damage that they deal more AP damage even as minority fraction than a higher-tier dedicated AP unit. So for example if Dwarf Warriors had so much damage they weren't labelled as AP, but dealt more AP damage per swing than Chosen Halberds. That'd be ridiculous, just like Blessed Saurus Warriors Also there's the consideration of leapfrogging. Most low-tier infantry have 60-70hp. With +10% ws tech and +15% ws redline skill, Blessed Saurus Warriors reach 80 damage per swing. That means against low-tier infantry with low armor, they're going to oneshot instead of two-shotting them, spiking their damage output ridiculously. When charging, they're guaranteed to oneshot <60 armor units on contact. And they NEVER tire.
Best GS LL for catch em' all?I figure its grom. He dies pretty often, is the western most LL and swings it east. Grimgor tends to survive.Azhag/Gorbad/Skarsnik are all kinda lumped together, and wurrzag is down alone. I figure he might die off too.
Think like a chud. Act like a soÿjak.
>>570374930you can only put four bullet points anyways, and the perfect vigour is the most salient difference at any ratealso it's bullet points, who cares
>>570376152Man now I'm hankering for another Grom run. Going to use cheat to select starting location. Where should I start for most fun bloatmaxxing? Thinking about Nehekhara since its so flat, great for pump wagons and I bet oases have lots of centigors to milk.
>>570376380
I want to play a game of "can you recognize this unit from only it's stats" but twwstats has a lot of superfluous lines in its unit cards and this annoys meplease pray for my wellbeing
>>570375894>That means against low-tier infantry with low armor, they're going to oneshot instead of two-shotting them, spiking their damage output ridiculouslyan underrated aspect of combat math, indeed. buffing my units until this happens is how I extract satisfaction from wh3 in current year.>when the Fireborn has so much charge bonus that infantry just dies from impact damage
how the fuck was this a ''close victory''?
Soon will be no Empire...
>>570378862So callously disregarding those brave windsofmagicmanii and arrowmanii who laid down their very existences for the cause... you're a monster.
>>570372034
>>570378862do you think arrows grow on trees?
any malekith tips?
>>570378862arms tired from shootingalso wh3 is weird about granting you a clear victory unless you were stronger than the opponent at the beginning. also also, it doesn't really matter whether you get a close victory in 3 for most purposes
>>570378862Because without Winds your mage is useless. Because without arrows your archers are going to be slaughtered. Since you ran out of both, it was a really close call! Any longer and their remaining... Uhh... 250 guys would've slaughtered their way through your 3 single entities, 2 monstrous units and 1300 fully melee-capable infantry! Totally!

>sieging this settlement because the lions don't have siege attacker for some reason>the garrison sallies outwhatplease do not make fun of my potato graphics
>>570372135>tabletop tavernIt's alright. Pretty serviceable but the limit to 10 units, it's roguelike rng and that it only imitates the battles and not the campaign map leaves a lot to be desired. Certainly not a Total War killer.After a few runs of every faction, I felt like I experienced everything.
I'm so bored I'm playing Mercia in Age of Charlemagne. Just united INGERLAND, about to invade the Irish. Don't blame me, they declared war first.
>>570390882Any cool units? I played base game Attila but never any of the DLCs.
>>570387949What's he thinking about there
>>570392412No, that's actually a big problem. There are no cool "epic" units like knights or elephants, it is all very realistic.I'd compare it most closely to Shogun 2's early game. But that's the whole game. It's nice if you want a taster of Med 3, though.
>>570390768The AI is programmed to accept a bad autoresolve result in a siege battle over taking attrition. It's a relic from games where it took more than 1 turn to cause siege attrition that just doesn't come up much in WH since most armies have siege attacker
Sieges are completely fucked and have been for a while. 9+ turns to starve someone out? Game's over by then.
>>570390768somewhat unrelated but currently playing Cathay as well and I really do dislike how underwhelming Yin lore feels and Yang feels even worse. Talons is the one spell I frequently use and only one that stands out
>>570392412Charlemagne takes a page from Shogun 2's playbook. While each roster has unique models, stats are mostly standardized across unit types between factions with only one or 2 'signature' units in each roster to distinguish them and a few options missing to give them some weaknesses.IIRC Mercia has the best shield wall unit in the game but are weaker in cavalry, which isn't as big of a downside as you'd think because cav are super nerfed compared to base Attila.
>>570392412>spearmanii>spearmanii (armored)>swordsmanii>swordsmanii (armored)yup, it's sovl
Not making Cathay a partially Tzeentch aligned Order faction was a mistake. Wuxia is boring.
>>570393604That leaker revealed that the Monkey King's rival will be a Tzeentch copycat.
Sigmar mitt uns
>>570392412No, besides the unplayable Theme of Sicily and the Avars. The limited unit selection and the fact that the cities are just copy pasted from the main campaign makes it extremely bland and repetitive. Only the fact that it's competing with complete dogshit like Wrath of Sparta and Eight Princes keeps it from bottom tier.
>>570394183The problem is Cathay, not some minor Tzeentch scrub.
>>570393604We could have had a dark fantasy Ming China analogue but don't you worry, the Chinese sensitivity team got there before we got anything actually interesting.
>>570395052We should have gotten each Dragon sibling stealing some of the Chaos God's power and using it for good. So it is slightly noblebright, but there's the looming specter that there are consequences for doing so.
>>570395203Do that, have more of a Ming aesthetic, and tone down the "Cathay did everything first" stuff and I would have had no issues with Cathay's rework.
>>570395421I don't even understand how Yin/Yang lore is supposed to work, they're not part of the winds of magic, and the warpstone alchemy is supposed to be dangerous yet Cathay uses it just fine.It is like Cathay is from a different setting entirely.
>>570394819There's never been a TW DLC that has updated changed siege maps. And while that in and of itself sucks, Attila does have really fucking good siege maps so it's not nearly as bad as FotS.
Going from Warhammer to Attila is like night and day. No longer am I constantly worrying about tier shit, tactics actually matter. Getting a stronger unit to rout after surrounding them feels so good.
>outmaneuvering your enemy in a wargame... feels le good?the damage basedhammer has done this general is irreparable.
>>570395716It's funny you should mention FotS and RotS because they did change siege maps. FotS introduced a starfort final upgrade for castles and RotS introduced an early tier castle map without walls. Rise of the Republic also introduced a new unique map for Rome and changed the walls of all settlements. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that I should not have to reckon with the fact that Charlemagne's Francia has cities identical to the WRE for some reason while Mercia has shithole barbarian cities (iirc). Rome didn't even get a unique new map which means the city center is inaccurately based around the Palatine and Capitoline rather than the Campus Martius. For fuck's sake despite being controlled by the Papal States in the DLC the map doesn't even have church models sprinkled in the Vatican.
>>570396670Economy issueIf through whatever mechanic elites couldn't be spammed then each unit would have their place, like MP
>>570396881You can spam elite units in historical TWs too, tactics still matter (except in Rome 2, which basically started statcheck bullshit)
>the asur have landed
https://store.steampowered.com/app/669330/Mechabellum/Free weekend for an auto battler game with mechs, I like TW and this.
>>570396456Just wait until you take the Large Onager pill.
>>570398282nta but does any other faction except rome or huns get this?
>>570398432The Sassanids and a rather random selection of barbarians have them. Don't ask me why the Vandals get it but the Caledonians don't.
>>570398432I think almost every faction gets them except for the nords, celts and slavs (ie the DLC boys). The Romans and Persians get them a building-tier earlier in their tech tree while most barbarians have to wait until the final tier of their siege engineer building.If you win a battle against an army using artillery and wipe out the crew, you have a small chance to capture the artillery piece (even if your faction can't normally recruit it) as long as there's a free slot for it in your army. So even if you play someone without normal access to it like the Jutes, you can steal one from the Sassanids or intentionally spawn rebellions in roman settlements and farm Large Onagers from the rebel armies.
bros I'm buying tabletop tavern
>>570397665I played it but it's too big brain for a corner camping Dwarf player such as myself
how long until legend realises that every gaming community is "toxic"?
>>570401423He already said he's not focusing on Paradox for his second channel so who knows wtf he's going to do instead. No one is going to watch him play some shitty farming sim.
>>570397604Council of the high king
>>570393478Talons is just Pit of Shades with less impactful graphics, and no vacuum physics effect (I think).The AoE slow is cool. The summon is good, but unexciting. The missile mirror is unique. The wind spell is cool in a siege, otherwise just pretty pink.But yeah, very unlike Yang which has 100% uptime, everything on cooldown, and has aplomb styling and sound effects.I still like a Yin caster, just quieter uses. Good army to bring a secondary mage, whereas Yang can gobble up a whole WoM reservoir.It’s nuts how good Yang partners with Metal. Zhao Ming can debuff armour at 145% intensity, and pretty much eliminate heavy infantry with any of his fire damage.
>>570400203bros I'm enjoying myself
>>570401423Paradox grand strategy is heckin wholesome (so long as you're a communist).
>>570401423>>570403925they are the absolute WORST like there's not a worse gaming community out there, its impossible to find one, paradoxfags are worse than deltarune

Can they release fucking end times already so I can get some actual information for 40k?

So are lizardmen divided into two groups of thinking?>Trust the plan, kill any order race if they are where they shouldn't be>the plan is mostly broken by now. Killing planned races would be retarded, just do damage controlI'm a secondary to warhammer, i just like total war.
>>570408058The second group you mentioned is actually the ones more willing to go on massacres and genocides of the other races, those involve mostly the skink population who worship Sotek, who is considered by some Slann to not be part of the great plan
>>570408058Those options aren't contradictory. Lizardmen kill intruders for damage control because demon worshippers are cancerous
>>570401423Your choice with toxicity is either:>Endless unrelenting feminine mean-girls-ism with a dash of nonces>Ethnic/racial/Religious slurs with a dash of nonces>Autistic schizo drama with a dash of noncesSome places have all three!
Tabletop Tavern was.. le meh.. TCAL really are the greatest to ever do it..

>>570411432Classic, I still find the whole Manor Lords comparison to have been the most funny one. That game still hasn't had a single major update since it released. It's all minor tweaks and balance changes.
>>570414834The moment I saw the manor lord guy going >huuuh I got no idea what to do now guysI knew that it was over
>>570414997It's just a glorified tech demo that's being "worked on" by rebalancing existing mechanics constantly with nothing new ever being added.

>>570424905post your scales
I haven't played in a long time but I don't know how to play anymore. There's too many enemies. Playing as Karl Franz. By turn 12 I've defeated The Barrow Legion and taken Artois and Gisoreux. By then Festus the Leechlord has conquered all of Hochland so I declare war on him and march northeast. I defeat him by turn 26 but by then all of Couronne has been destroyed by Norsca, all of Carcassonne and Bastone has been conquered by Grom the Paunch, All of Talabacland has been conquered by Syvania and my next door neighbor in Hergig is fucking Throt the Unclean who has conquere the Ice Court and now sits next to me in Wolfenburg.Turn 26. My only ally is Rorek Granitehand immediately to my west.So I go to war with Vlad von Carstein and start restoring the empire to the east but by the time I get to Castle Templehof I have to peace out and run back as fast as I can because by turn 40 World Walkers own everything to my north, destroying Middenland and Marienburg and declaring war on me and sending 5 armies to destroy Altdorf. I rush back in time to watch them take Castle Artois, Gisoreux, Blackstone Post and even Eilhart my heartland city in Reikland itself. I defeat all of those armies but lose all of Hochland and Talabheim to Throt the Unclean.By turn 60 I have 4 cities left. Altdorf, Eilhart, Grunberg and Helgart. Eilhart is owned by World Walkers again; wood elves own everything to my south, Throt is sending about 6 armies to the west, World walkers are sending about 5, there are no neutral or order factions left in the game but me and Rorek Granitehand..I can't do this. This game can't support this many legendary lords in such a tiny space.
>>570419924Jade warriors still meltThey just melt in place instead of running away
>>570425353Watch LegendofTotalWar
>>570425330okay, it's not like I can stop you>>570425353>There's too many enemiesyeah
>>570425453I've watched Legend for years, the game was never like this before. Too many legendary lords is too many legendary lords. The map can't support this many.
playing Warriors of chaos for the first time. I got them on sale recerntly and i picked festus.Am I supposed to vassalize everyone or raze them for the souls? And is there a way I can affect what units are available to me in a given area? It says chosen are found more easily in chaos wastes but am I really stuck to fighting there if I want them? Will corruption or lord effects help me recruit them in places like world's edge mountains? Do I need to protect my regular warriors and just chosen through promotions then?Also I played tamurkhan and arbaal again after getting the Champions of chaos content and it's crazy how a bic chunk of the faction is just removed from your unit pool.
>>570425989>Do I need to protect my regular warriors and just chosen through promotions then?yes, that's kinda the point of the warbands mechanic
>>570425989>Also I played tamurkhan and arbaal again after getting the Champions of chaos content and it's crazy how a bic chunk of the faction is just removed from your unit pool.huh
I've done itI've created the world's least interesting cathayan army
>>570425353this is why you should use The Old World Classic mod.
>>570428087nta but I might do this the next time I play a faction in the area
>>570427613What's this
>>570428284unit caps
>>570426545alright, thanks>>570426660When i first got the game I played tamurkhan a lot. he's my favorite lordthen I got champions of chaos recently and I saw all the new units it adds to the gameI played tamurkhan again and the recruitment buuldings suddenly had stuff I didn't even know I could have been using. marauders, warshrines, chosen, knights, heroes, etc. It really should have been base game stuff.
>>570428316>It really should have been base game stuffsmall company needs more money, please understand.

I think I've always had my bats and wolves die in fights but at the same time I don't really care about them. Still feels bad because they cost a lot more money in SFO and this kinda stalls my growth. 2-3 units are like 3.5k gold in SFO.

The total price of warhammer 3 if you have every feature and lord unlocked is a out 400 dollars. Do you guys think thats worth it
>>570440462if you got nickel and dimed from the start like some of us? yeah maybe, that's a long time you were playingbuying it after watching an epic mandy review? absolutely not, holy shit those fucking brits should be molested for this
>>570440462You know you can just pirate it right
>>570440553but pakis already did that...
>>570440462Well I have 4023 hours across all 3 games and I've bought all the DLCs. so 400/4023 = ~10 cents per hour. Pretty good deal IMO
>>570440595I heard they voted for that, this one will be spontaneous!
>>570440682Have you played every faction and lord? I don't own every DLC and I don't even have time to play some that I own.
>>570440916Probably around 70% of them all but I will get around to everybody eventually. I'm waiting for the siege rework before I start playing it again
>>570440237Ah, alright then.
>>570441046>I'm waiting for the siege rework before I start playing it againMein Führer...
>>570441046But siege was already reworked
>>570441294>>570441331Look I just want faction specific siege ladders and the ability to turn off pocket/ass ladders, and yes I'm sure there is a mod for it but I'll wait for CA to do it
>>570441046sieges has been fixed, there was never any door bug
>>570441404CA Sofia said that the Siege rework is too difficult for them to handle, and they can't allocate more people because they are also responsible for the DLC.
>>570441567No...NO! This can't be true
Siege DLC
>>570397665That game slaps but they added so many fucking units since I last played, it has to be daunting for new players
>>570427613No army with cavalry is the least interesting possible
>>570414997>>570415854>Devs keep adding maps with big lakes and rivers.>Somehow it doesn't occur to them at any point to add the most obvious thing possible, harbor buildings and mechanics for more fishing and bigger trading.
>>570427613Honestly if you just added an alchemist to increase mobility and nuke blobs, and then a piece of artillery to make the enemy always come to you, that's not that bad of a comp.

I hate fighting slaneesh as early kairos
The worst thing is fighting npcs of your own faction type
>>570442178Yeah I still can't wrap my mind how am I supposed to win without massive cheese.
>>570434078Empire lives rent free in kislevite heads
>>570441567Funny, I much preferred WH1/2 sieges. They were simplistic, but at least they were playable.
>>570443817there wasn't the door opening bug so yeah it was better
>>570442178>Do "confed Sarthorael by turn 3" cheese>Get him to level 2 >Melt all infantry with your 200% intensity spells
Tabletop Tavern does mog TW pretty hard considering its just a single man project. Turns out not having shit pathfinding isn't an impossible, magical task!
>>570443817I just don't understand, they already did a good job with Attila sieges, those maps are not complicated compared to WH3, except for certain cities but because of that the AI can function just fine. And they should increase the battlemap size, it's rather small, especially if you're using a mobile army.
Weakest Kislevite men vs strongest Empire warriors
>>570444229Didn't those guys disintegrate upon contact with Ukrainians and run way to film social media videos behind the lines instead?
>>570444229>Gets pigeon bombedHeh, nothing personal kigger.
>>570427613I love this lord. I want to train one too when I would play as Miao Ying again. He would be a second army
>>570444229Are those supposed to be russian soldiers? So... everyone in that upper picture is already dead, aren't they?
>>570444174Sieges are fine. Sieges were fine in WH2, and they were fine in a different way in release WH3. The dumbest crybabies in the fandom love to bleat about "fixing sieges" but have just enough self awareness to realize the ideas they have are shit so never elaborate.
>>570444229sorry but the bottom soldiers beat the top soldiers 10/10 due to better training/technology/support
>>570444610But those are Chechens, so they probably only act as barrier troops or rear area duty.
>>570444610They look chechen to me, russian soldiers at this point are mostly brown/asiatic conscripts from beyond the urals
>>570444229those are men of Araby though
>>570444804The only job of the american army is to walk in and count the amount of people that the airforce has killed
>sieges are fineLmao, at least they should play their own game past turn 50 and see how it goes.
>>570444804the bottom soldiers can't even walk down a street on a parade properly and get defeated by plumbing issues
>>570445242Parades win wars. Napoleon said that. Or was it Caesar?
>>570444229Nu-Lore-accurate empire soldiers.
>>570444804>I am sure to win because my money is superiorThe absolute state of modern "war"
>>570445723Was usually the case, historically. With small exceptions, like people with vastly superior military culture or motivation. As for that. chechens are probably superior soldiering material compared to army mystery meat mutts, but white muhreens would eat them for breakfast and white ukrainians did eat them for breakfast.
>>570445723it's always been that way m8
>>570445723as shown by their current 4 days special military operation, yes.

>>570444229OH NO NO NO NO
>>570446925I suspect the executives and creative heads are being pressured by powerful figures not to make content for right wing whites. They want you demoralized and stressed, without any safe space. Making money is secondary to them.
>>570446925The fact that you think an average pasty white nerd will be turned off from a story because there are blacks and/or women in it shows you have a rancid media diet and have lost touch with reality.

>>570447631kek le hecking owned themthis is what's known as a gotcha momenttake that chuds
>>570446665Reminder: after your MA is just 27 higher than enemy MD, all extra MA is wasted. For example Ironbreakers have 66 MD by default, so any MA higher than 93 is wasted and does nothing. Considering vast, VAST majority of non-lord units have way less than 72 defense, any MA over 100 on an unit that isnt intended to target lords is pretty much always wasted. Hell, even 80 is overkill for like 90% of units.
>>570448001>27Hit cap is 90 and base hit chance is 35, so the actual number is 55
>>570446717"And last thing that I want to say is that Arch Warhammer is a dickhead."
>>570448001Why are you spreading lies on the internet?
>>570447779Anon, I get that being a subservient cuck comes naturally to you, but its not for everyone. One can have preferences for things they pay for. Not catering to your customer base is objectively stupid. Say you're a White Pasties Car Manufacturer CO and 99,9% of cars you sell are bought by white pasties who want all-blue cars. Adding green stripes to your new car models is objectively stupid, since some part of your customers simply wont want to pay for that product. Yes, green color will drive them away to other competitors. That doesnt mean they have to hate green color either, they just prefer blue as paying customers.

I appreciate the game being made so Dwarves are contrary assholes with their book of grudges.Play Vlad. Beat up my fellow vampires final settlement for a bit to cheese some levels. See Azhag. Go best him up for the giggles.Dwarves get pissed for reasons I can't comprehend. Humans get mad because dwarves are mad.Endless stuck in the mud wars from all sides.Humans start offering terms for peace. Dwarves finally do also.Grimgor shows up. Fight him.

Mechanics question. Many sources, including the wiki, Zerkovich's video on fatigue, the TWW stats unit cards page and even its "fatigue effects" page state that when a unit is Exhausted it loses 10% of its AP weapon strength.But unlike all of the other stats affected by fatigue, I don't see this represented on the unit card in-game. Is this a known bug? Is the penalty failing to apply, or is it applying correctly but failing to appear on the unit card? I feel like I'd have to teach myself modding to test this properly.
>>570489069Here's a screenshot from my testing. The Chosen are exhausted. You can see that every other stat on the unit card is being decreased, but not weapon strength. 34 and 14 is the normal amount for each value. Does anyone know what gives? I tried googling around but didn't find anything.

>playing tyrion>alarielle beat the shit out of n'kari while fighting saphery at the same time>she's bigger than meI wanted a playthrough where I protect ulthuan, but I don't need to protect shit
>>570494667Elsepth isn't easy mode, surprisingly. Empire is still hard thanks to gorbad.Also i guess there is no reason to play the other lords? Huntsman sucks, volkmar lacks a real mechanic, and gelt is cool but in boring china.
>>570496821He can be very hard or not that difficult. Anyways its not the steamroll it used to be. You used to only have Skrolk and Luthor, both of whose chaff Saurus and Kroak chew through like Grom in all-you-can-eat buffet. Now you got Rakarth, Skulltaker, Masque and possibly Alberic as well. You'll likely want to secure south first so Rakarth doesnt get to spam his monsters, but that means Skulltaker and Masque have time to build up. Skulltakers wrathmongers are ridiculous since low model count means Kroak cant delete them and they decimate Saurus. Masque is bit easier, but gigabuffed Daemonettes will inflict heavy casualties, swamping you down. If Alberic is still alive at this point he'll be hitting Grail units, which similarly are a bitch to take down, especially if you're already fighting two other factions ganging up on you. And you still have the perfidious Harkon spamming endless chaff stacks as well.
>>570498941Volkmar can be fun with Free Company Militia. There isnt other lord that focuses on fire on the move pseudo-skirmish infantry as far as I know. Markus is acquired taste for those who enjoy ballbusting. Definitely a different flavor of a campaign to be sure.
I HOPE KHORNE LIKES BIRD SKULLS TOOI LIKE BIRDS, AND THEIR SKULLS
>>570497370Ulthuan is great fun for how differently it can go. Alarielle busting everything down can be a dampener sure, but that doesnt always happen. In my last HE campaign she got nuked down by turn 12. Eltharion took Saphery in the meantime(??) but lost his original homelands to N'kari, so entire east was Slaanesh territory, with center being extremely secure but squeezed from the west by DE and east by Slaanesh.
>>570498941>Empire is still hard thanks to gorbad.Huh? In all my campaigns he dies to Thorgrim before doing anything else.
>>570498941>>570499304Why not Franz?
>>570498941>gelt is cool but in boring chinaDoesnt he get an event to go back to Solland?
>>570500542He does but you loose the intensity landmark. The proper way to play him is to genocide everything in chinkland for Sigmar.
Cathay (Miao) had to be amongst the most boring campaigns for me. The chinks have a surprisingly limited roster and you win every battle by just holding the line. You don't even get units that shake things up like slayers and copters for dwarfs. Only fun i had were the caravan battles and goated Shogun 2 announcer voice actor for lord magistrate.
>>570499908No need to mention because Franz is always the right choice.
>>570501497I enjoyed lion stacks, replacing archers/artillery with Lions/crowmen. Makes for far more aggressive army, because Crowmen deal far more damage than their stats suggest. Make lions force enemy ranged kill themselves with Missile Mirror and instarout enemy line infantry with frontal charge + crowmen backcharge, leaving only cavalry (vastly outnumbered) after first 30 seconds. Later SEM-ish doomstacks with Celestial Guard + Terracotta Sentinels work great too. Or for gyrocopter-esque air force stack you can always go for Crowmen/Ligmas to snipe enemy ranged and then rain hell on them with Sky Junks.Or you can be a boring fuck and build nothing but Jade Warriors, ranged and Fire Rains Rockets like always. You control the buttons you press.
>>570502446Spamming monsters is not the solution, Cathay is just boring.

But he was already dead, and that is a long ass run south.

>>570512747I'm NTA and the argument is two words: Yuan Bo. You're delusional.
>>570512620Idk anon looks like a tough battleThough I'm pretty much a scrub
>ligmasWhat about sugmas?
>>570516292what's a sugma?
>>570516751I don't know.
sug ma DICKKK nigga hahahaha
>>570517605whats longma
>>570520130i don't know
What units/heroes could be added to the Chorf roster?
>>570512620Yes, but that genuinely looks like a challenging match up. Could probably have micro'd the chariot better and done more to force blobs for your darksharts and spells, but it doesn't look easy.
does TOW classic run faster than regular immortal empires?
>>570520661The Financier: boosts to slave aquisitions, armaments production, and debuffs other heroes via kompromat.
>>570521181Well that could be added to any roster really
>>570521003Her faction is now dead... grombrindal is next
Trying out Cathay for the first time and is Taoyan suppose to be dogshit? She feels terrible compared to pretty much every other legendary hero.
>>570521181You don't think people would notice a Chaos Dwarf hiding in another faction? It'd be pretty obvious. Surely they'd notice.
>>570520661SIEGE. GIANT.
do elves always fall to chaos/norsca in ie now? i haven't played in a while and my last 3 campaigns they've died to one or a combination of them.
>>570524082No, they can win. Seems like Chaos wins more often, but I've seen them win plenty of times.
>>570524082order gets fucked in like 80% of my runs its a bit boring desu, bring back ordertide
>>570524354It's a coin flip everywhere else, but I've yet to see Franz lose the Empirebowl. Elspeth patch empire buffs are still super strong, and it's just a question of if he wins with Louen and Katarina's help or if he does it by himself.
They fix that bug yet where there's like 20 full stacks just chillin around a settlement?
>>570511286>>570507864>>570503834>>570434078On the subject of these bald moustached slavs, I noticed their buildings all add very small percentage based bonuses and build in a couple turns with a low cost. It's a weird faction so I have some questions for any anons that know the faction well.I'm guessing I'm supposed to be occupying every damn thing and building wide and spamming these cheap farms right? Kind of adding up all these tiny bonuses to build a strong late game economy is the way it seemsAnd the ice court/orthodoxy thing represents heroes and magic vs infantry and cav? Like I can choose which side I want to build towards or should I be keeping both at about the same level? Are kislevite warriors the shielded spearmen of Kislev as in they punch above their weight class in line holding? What exactly is my hammer unit? Bear sleds are tier 4, and I assume tsar guard/armored kossars are also line holders. Is it worth running 10 bow kossars until streltsi? I know akshina are good but I don't know if I should be flanking with them or keeping them in my backline.Would Kostaltyn suit me better if I don't like to run more than 3 or 4 heroes per army? I want to try out their roster and watch the battle play out, not rely just on wizards or heroes to devastate the enemy on horseback.
>>570524971It's working as intended.
>>570524557I've yet to see him win, in my miao run he had more regions in bretonnia than in the empire
>>570524354Making chaos wastes too small and spreading chaos all over the map fucked things up badly.
>>570525941the chaos wastes are fucking huge dude
>>570525862What difficulty and/or mods? I'm on L/VH with a couple of graphics mods. Yet to see him loose once without my intervention.
>>570526010normal and hardI've yet to see him actually die out, but he gets brutalized pretty bad usually
HOLY SHIT!! That's a HUGE prize pool bros, might have to sign up myself...
this makes no sense, but okay.
>>570526158The AI cheats from Lego difficulty must be making the difference. I imagine that since he can get to Outriders (Very fast for a Grenade edition) and Stank//Ship spam much quicker he starts winning AR fights much quicker and snowballs. That the ability to get more stacks out quicker lets him expand quicker and make better use of Reikland's relatively central position.
>>570526372Not only could I make more selling myself in the alley, it'd probably still have more dignity too.
>>570503834same vibe

>>570533319
>>570373092After a decade I got total warhammer 1 and the dlc now how the fuck do I get gud. I have never played a total war game and every other second fight I have to fight against two whole armies vs my barely built up army
>>570534180Play Rome 1 to learn to general
>>570535829NO PLAY ROME 2 EMPIRE DIVIDED AS AURELIAN WITH THE DIVIDE ET IMPERA MOD ON LEGENDARY DIFFICULTY SO YOU CAN LARP AS THIS:https://youtu.be/nUyPjwqNRQA?t=1878
>>570534180>every other second fight I have to fight against two whole armies vs my barely built up armyLower the campaign difficulty till you get used to how the buildings and economy works and how to keep pace with the AI. Battles are pretty straightforward:>Don't get flanked>Understand what a units role is and how it needs to be positioned to fulfill that>Understand what the enemies strongest units are and how to best neutralize them.>Focus on breaking morale rather than necessarily killing.It's really just practice.
>>570536189DEI's version of Empire Divided is fucking dogshit thoughever, half the unique units are cut for like four generic units across all three factions.
>>570537175t. g*rmoid

Is it even possible to win a siege by capping the final point?
>>570542250You don't win the siege by capping the final point though? It just disables the siege bonus for the defender and removes attached buildings.
>>570542250yes, but its takes forever, you only really do it when you cant be bothered to kill everyone
>>570542250yeah, but only for a few factions. You need an infantry blob with lots of models and durability. You park that at a random gate and let it moshpit. Then you need a group of heroes. About 4, or 3+lord. They need to be able to heal and shred infantry. Nurgle is good at this. Oh and they need super fast mounts.Then u send that squad in on the other side, shred through whatever comes and cap.>>570542417Yes u do, tard kun.
>>570542250Only if all points are captured. I know because I've lost sieges that way. You are extremely unlike to win that way though, since the AI prioritises recapturing stuff. You'll probably win via army losses before the clock ticks down.
>>570542250It's more possible in WH than any other TW game besides Shogun 2.
>>570542250yesit's simpleif you have more rats in the city than they have people, then it's your city, and they're the intruders
>>570542654i baited the cpu outside the walls to sneak caps in rome 1 all the timeit was giga cheesy
>>570542654If you can get them off the cap, a unit of pikes or something in shield wall formation with guard mode on can pretty easily let you win on capture point. It's just that in most game the AI does a reasonable job of sticking units in the square and they will fight to the death.
>>570543613In Rome 1 they (usually) kept at least a couple units on the point. Shogun 2 is the only game where I could reliably cap the point because it nearly always had a wall leading up to it and the Shogun 2 really liked spreading its army across the castle and had them constantly moving for some reason. Rome 2 removed units fighting to the death on the point iirc so it was also possible to cap the point there. With Medieval 2, Attila, and Three Kingdoms you'd be lucky to get even half your army to the inner part of the city/castle without being shredded by the towers.>>570544141In Rome 1 you were also unfortunately fighting unit pathfinding half the time so I usually went very slow to have my units where I want them rather than rush the capture point.
why soldier ladder when door open?why?
>>570545071please understandCA small family company
>>570544585>Three Kingdoms you'd be lucky to get even half your army to the inner part of the city/castle without being shredded by the towers.Your turtle formation?
>>570501497Sounds like a you problem
>>570545071>Command cavalry to enter city>Decides to path up to the next gate (which is also busted down) and path all the way back.>Happily paths into the anti-large units waiting at that other gate
>>570545252In my experience it doesn't help a whole lot, Three Kingdoms arrow towers are insane.
Did we ever get siege rework news
in warhammer what are these unstable portal, hidden constructions?lost a city randomly, rebuilt it. saw i had an option to look at hidden construction. saw i had a portal. i destroyed it. the next turn it was back. destroyed it again. the fourth turn i had a fourth one and it destroyed my city again. i'm not sure how to deal with it? or if that is normal behavior for them?
>>570545379Some units can hit 95 or 100% missile block and that will deal with the damage, then you just burn with fire arrows. Even if Crossbows are better, I pretty much always bring two units of Archers because of that.
>>570546871I wouldn't worry about it.
What's the best way to deal with an enemy that constantly retreats https://youtu.be/7DljgSrTbNE?si=E3rrfZJM9d6ulDWg
>>570548693in battle?get a unit glued to it till it crossed the map border on campaign use ambush or just ignore em and take their cities
>>570548926I tried that and my army ends up spread out and then i take way more losses. I mean armies that retreat without taking much damage

>>570560705that's a thing in basically every TW game, no?Pharaoh has it and so does Rome 1, think almost all of them doEmpire had the best ones, with the flute player, drummer, flag bearer and unit officer
>>570557003Looking at 6 minutes in, you'd think these lines would be marked based on how far the units will get at some interval (5 or 10 seconds kind of thing)That way you would be able to time a fast unit and a slow unit reaching a point at the same time
>>570560461Imperial Guardsmen are true heroes, the shield of the Imperium, Humanity's first and often only line of defence against alien and daemonthey are NOT for being sexually harassed by Sisters of Battle, molested by Eldar banshees, dommy-mommy'd by Dark Eldar Wyches, honked by lady Harlequins nor snu-snu'd by female Custodiansrespect the Guardsman

this reminds me of the fundamental problem with attilalategame mostly ends up with the world post apocalyptic and decrepit besides ur empire even if u thrive n survivewhich is cool, thats the point of the game, but its not as satisfying as other TWs where you build rather than survive like a roach/destroy
>>570615462like how am i already getting hit with massive squallor debuffs and public order/growth penalties out the ass in the start of the gamefeels rigged
>>570615462I agree. It is intended, but what it should be is a proliferation of horde factions or their settled kingdoms. Even the Huns are easy to defang and just become whack a mole.
>>570615663Get the mod that makes the AI colonize ruins more frequently. It's no fun if you're playing Huns as it'll be a wack-a-mole game, but if you're playing anyone else it's fine.
Want to start a 3k campaignWhcih one I pick?No cow cow
>>570616874liu bei
>>570611460That pic reminds me a lot of the nordwar riften guard armour.
>>570616874baby football man
now that's a victory boys
>>570616874The one man who can save the empire. Bonus: not a cannibal.
>>570617174>>570617427Was the baby football from red cliff movie?
no space battles no buy
no space chaos dwarves no buy
>>570620968I'm actually mad about this. All the Votann have going for them are the AI cores, but they have virtually no rivalries or lore or anything. They're just space assholes who mine and that's it.Corrupted Votann would help them immensely.
>>570618351ASUR MIGHT!
Is there a female Belakor mod or female Daniel mod anywhere?
>added all the ovn stuff>zc empire>corruption modsAre there any mods to make corrupton look cooler?
>>570622401fucking retarded gooner
>>570622401Daniel's already a total cocksucker, what else do you want from him?
I'm gonna defect to the Tau.
>>570625047are you aware of just how much tau women fart
>>570625335Just open a window.
>>570603648>>570603015>>570489069Changing a few lines on a single unit card turned out to be a much more involved process than I anticipated. Anyway, mystery solved: the damage reduction is working after all, and it is *only* affecting AP damage (even though some sources neglect to say that). It's just not displaying on the unit card. Guess they either forgot to add that or couldn't manage it for some reason, even though other buffs to WS like Frenzy do properly display on unit cards.
>>570624487I hate how daniel is so bad but nobody else has the full demon experience. I want to take a chaos lord all the way to daemon prince with cool gifts and choices that matter. Instead we got this.
>>570614419And, at least you get to go inside a hot girl in your final moments.
>>570612340>5 enemy horses>5 spearslooks hard but unit types still mean something in atilla still so you can probably position spears right behind your ranged, then enage with the ranged, they will send their cav and you pull back ranged and catch them with your spears.then you can charge with cav and axes and flank with javs before their melees even arrive.then pull out what you can, skirmish with your ranged units and kill their archers with your cav.Did you pull it off?
>>570628743yeah I pulled it off mostly cause poison arrows are some OP bs, but also cav isn't as strong as I remember yeah, sure top tier is prob insane and horse archers too, but cav still loses to spears head on most of the time or at least gets held long I kinda wanna play thrones of britannia just for attila battle gameplay but without a survival horror campaign, tho I think that game has dysmal unit variety...
>>570629257base game campaign has some frustrating elements.theres tons of mods.try mk1212ad and dawnless days for the peak atilla experience
>legendary heroes mods>sounds good>boot it up>offers me bloodthirster as kemmler. Lore breaking.
>>570629481aren't both of those very unfinished, but I think dawnless days is way more finished, might actually give it a shotistg attila campaign used to be fun for me but pressing migrate then next turn button for 20 turns before im even able to play the game is not my idea of peak TW campaign fun idk why there's fucking 10 different hordes running across eastern europe at the very start fuck off
>>570629257>>570629481>>570629740funnily enough I had more fun in my rome 1 remaster barbarian invasion run so far hordes popped up all the time but my cities weren't in a constant state of collapse and I had actual income so dealing with em was manageable and fun
>>570630178The biggest redpill of all time is that BI is unironically better than Attila.
>>570630290its kino
>>570606009Grom
>>570618351>lion with 180 kills
I am thinking about Miao Ying's leaked voice lines towards Marienburg and Monkey King.
>>570630541I miss when total war had clear defined battle-lines instead of bodies merging with each other
>>570634140desu yeah I notice that in rome 1, and med 2 is the same, there's a lot of clarity to what's going on rome 2 onwards it starts being a bit of a soup in melee rome 1 has extra visilibility because of the ever faction getting its own colors thing, sometime with the rome 2 engine onwards the melee engagements started looking much messier
>>570634368were these guys the proto legendary lords?
>>570634469meme unit of the celts based on those mythologized depictions of the scary pictish blue men that the romans were terrified of
>>570634469The superhero versions of Richard Lionheart and Saladin that appear in Med 2 Kingdoms are the proto legendary lords. These guys are the proto monstrous units.
>>570634595>>570634614Berserkers in vanilla rome 1 did the same thing desu
>>570634650>>570634614I feel like campy pseudo-fantasy kino like this is part of what sets total war apart from paradox autism, it was never about le historic accuracy and the autism associated with that, its about the fun
>>570634784Yeah, rome 1 was full of ahistorical and fantastic shit but it was fun shit.The faggots at tw center ruined it by screaming for realism after shogun 2 and we ended up with no fun allowed in rome 2.Then it went full circle and CA simply separated fantasy completely.Good thing that twcenter has paid for their sins
>>570634784speak for yourself, I always thought that shit was dumb
>>570634972Lame nigger
>>570634964at least they were forced to keep stuff like that for 3 kingdoms with records vs romance mode u gotta be one soulless nigger to play 3k in records though, when everything including the original novel for the 3 kingdoms period depict people like zilong soloing hundreds of troops at a time, even real history is so often intertwined with fantasy and myth, games depicting that is kinda sovl
>>570634784There was a tension regarding this style of camp when RTW came out from the beginning. 80% of the units are historical to the point that you can sort of simulate real historical battles then you have shit like screeching women and Roman ninjas. The greatest TW mod of all time was started before RTW even came out, what would become the EB team contacted CA after some gameplay footage was shown and said wtf and when CA said nah we're not changing it they started work on the mod. This >>570634964 anon is incorrect, they were already backtracking by Med 2 which while nowhere near historically accurate is not as egregious as RTW. I also have to agree with the other anon. This shit was not only goofy but half these meme units fucking sucked anyways so it was a double whammy of historically inaccurate and bad gameplay. No one will ever tell you they used flaming pigs except to say it was one battle for a laugh.
>>570635356Only a very small percentage of people give a fuck about historical accuracy tho.As long as you are not putting stuff like like the porsche firing a machine gun aoe2 cheat nobody will bat an eye.Hell, I bet some people really think that romans used flaming pigs due to rome 1
>>570635356well it being less useful is good if u think it breaks immersion that hard, but flaming pigs is a core part of RTW identity, such a classic iconic unit
>>570635638>Hell, I bet some people really think that romans used flaming pigs due to rome 1you realize that's a bad thing, right
>>570635638A very large people gave a shit about historical accuracy. Back in the day, believe it or not, we had actual historians with doctorates playing Total War games alongside people who just liked flashy cool shit. And those historians actually did go and fix it themselves by making mods when something pissed them off. When you start developing games based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms (wuxia incarnate) and Warhammer of course the history buffs drop out, although Empire and then Rome 2 sucking dick definitely started the push.
>>570636038nta but how is it a bad thing? who gives a shit, it doesn't change anything
>try to do a catch em’ all run as grom>make it east by turn 25>gorbad, azahg, wurrzag dead already>grimgor about to die>skarsnik strength rank 1Oh ok.
>>570636962>skarsnik strength rank 1schemes
>>570636962Orcs drool, goblins rule
so cool
a shame they don't have a way of making dwarfs actually short
gonna try the campaign tomorrow
gondor have the aesthethics on lock out of all the LOTR factions can't deny that
kek
okay these dudes are just sunk into the groundfuckin engine limitations man
>>570640736lmao they look goofy as hell
>>570640736Dwarves not having axes is like a man not having shoes.
>>570639554I played a campaign and it's great but there are still so many features that need to be implemented, especially more voicelines from BFME, so I'll wait another 2-3 years before checking it out again.
>>570641317yknow that makes u thinkWhy tf do they love axes so much they literally live in caves? wtf
>>570641460Axes are norse influence.
