Thanquol soon, friends!
LL's for this feeling?
He looks like me..

Fuck Lizards
Eldar when?
>>573935846https://youtu.be/G-7TdueEP9w
took an unlucky one to the head
>>573936210Imagine if camera technology was somehow invented super early and we had footage of ancient battles
>>573936138
>>573936138>Even Eldar cat ladies/wine aunts are hotRelease can't come soon enough
DEI bros how long do i have until war with carthage after this shit pops up just got the best start i've ever gotten as rome, this time I might win damnit... I'm just so impatient for these kinda slow mods lmaoscared of carthage-shits if the war is coming within 5 turns may as well start making a navy i guess but i wanted to just build up
>>573937474idk hth
>>573937371I need eldar reveal so bad
Eldar non-gooners are a rare breed
>>573936138I'll do you one better, Why is Eldar?Im serious, how are you supposed to have map painter game with factions that dont paint maps?
>>573937964As one of the main purveyors of elf horny in this general, for the record, I think the Eldar/Drukhari are both cool as shit regardless of sexo
>>573937980Fool40k isnt about painting maps its about leveling your faction
>>573937980ELDAR, RA ROO!
>>573938309Every season the space marine faggots are going to get the majority of points in the online war so why even play?
>>573938418>Every season the space marine faggots are going to get the majority of points in the online war so why even play?Uhh for da FOIGHTS? Git.

>>573936454Oh trust me I really fucking hate we didn't invent the camera until recently. Yes, a photo wouldn't likely survive 500 years or whatever - but it would allow for a telephone game of interconnection. Maybe a picture of the specific moment doesn't survive, but it was used by an artist and then his artwork was pictured by someone else and his artwork didn't survive but that picture did.
>>573938737We don't need cameras, we have intuition.
>>573937964My lust for Eldar butts is second only to my genuine appreciation for their aesthetics and (background) lore.Funnily enough in third is a slightly morbid enjoyment of Slaanesh and the accompanying pursuit of objective Perfection amidst the deranged hellscape of Chaos.
i don't rly understand why my guys aren't replenishing I have huge population surplus in this province rn and all the units were recruited here to begin with
>>573938984>the accompanying pursuit of objective Perfection amidst the deranged hellscape of Chaos
>>573938545>"Heh, DAAKKA! WUGGHGHGHGH! HAHAHA GITS GITS! WOZZAT!" rubs his belly, has a minor heart attack, cries a little as he reloads the reddit page.Why are orc players like this?
>>573939427Please do your long suffering parents a favor and go suck on a car exhaust pipe
>>573937964I appreciate their aesthetic and genuinely think warp spiders are the coolest unit in the game
>>573939427The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won.
>>573939562must have struck a nerve.
>>573938984>DESPERATELY want to stick my face in thick, juicy ass>Know it will smell of shit (The End Times reveal)What in Darwin causes this desire? Mental illness? 'Evolution'?

>>573939070anyone have any idea or how I can check?
>>573939823The pussy is RIGHT THERE dudeLike you can still grope the ass and slap it and pound into it from behind all you have to do is not stick your fucking sensory organs in the shit zoneSick of this goddamn anal scat era man
>>573939114There's a fascinating dichotomy within Chaos that can be explored in how despite being based upon literal demons from nigh-literal Hell, there is still an enticing and even seductive aspect to it when faced with the prospect of life within the Imperium. There's even a dichotomy in that nature of the Imperium on its own as both the lowest dregs and highest nobles of Imperial society are the ones most pulled by Chaos, but I digress. Slaanesh best represents that sense of enticement, and I would argue he is logically the strongest of the Chaos Gods due to this.>>573939823According to one of the xenology books, Eldar produce crystalline waste that is both colorless and odorless. Do with this information what you will.
>>573939792telling a faggoty anon to neck themselves is not a big deal

ratGODS, please do the needful and shitpost away all the space marinefags before they start shitting the thread complaining why 1 space marine is not soloing enemy armies as per lore. Thank you.
>>573939886and all the aspects and the wraithlords and the jetbikes and the fire prisms (not you war walkers)
>>573937980
>>573940167Ratfags are dead, their last hooray was when thanquol faggot got what he wantThere is no one to protect you, your guardians are dead little boy
>>573940167>pic related is the canon emperor in 40k>skaven will get added to 40kRemind them.
>>573940167Actual lore doesn't promote Marines soloing armies. If anything it's the opposite; a well equipped squad of Guardsmen or a even a mob of meagerly armed Cultists can take down a Marine with only minor losses, if any.Astartrs, Space Marine 2 and Secret Level gave the Marines IMMENSE plot armor to provide the desired Marinewank.
>>573940167NO, plan-scheme is discordant!
>>573938418Fake news.
>>573938737this guy was born in 1810https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IVQ-1t92hAhe's blessing (You)yes (You) specifically anon
>>573940518Fun fact; GW did this sort of thing again for the new edition and are so blatantly rigging in in the Imperium's favor it's almost comical. They tried handing Marines a loss last edition and the general response wasn't great.
>>573940429>Skaven will get added to 40kImperium is already there anon
>>573940167>1 space marine is not soloing enemy armies as per lore
I play TWW3 at 60 FPS and I don't need anything higher for it.
>>573939823>>573939968the most horrifying fact you can ever realize is that the avg westerner doesn't wash their ass instead only wipes with some dry ass paper basically smearing dried shit all over their ass lips every day I started using a bidet like 15+ years ago and never looked back
>>573940618All deadThey were like us onceWe will be like them soon
>>573940852Kill themRaise them
People are memeing about missing the fantasy discussion right? This shit has been awful and generally 40k has to be an improvement over community obsession than some dogshit like fantasy that attracts pic related types.
>>573940745The emperor will reemerge as the fifth (sixth if you count malal) chaos god, the god of the verminous masses aka the horned rat.
>>573940897
>>573940316>ynnariforgot those were a thing
>>573940897>40k has to be an improvement
>>573940913We already know the Emperor is/was going to be the Dark King, the biggest and strongest of all Chaos Gods who the Big Four would bow to as he destroyed them and plunged the galaxy into an eternity of enslaved torment.Except he decided nto to because he's actuslly even stronger than that and reshaped fate itself so he could beat Horus and be interted on the Throne to become even stronger as a DIFFERENT super powerful God.
>>573941092is that some kinda troon? I'm assuming yeah because no woman owns 40k miniswould fuck, looks cute
>>573941163I fuckin hate the horus heresy novels so much.Irreparable damage done.
>>573941163>interted on the Throne to become even stronger as a DIFFERENT super powerful God.The horned rat
>>573940852it is inevitable, for dust we are and to dust we will returnregardless it does not erase our existence nor our experienceseven if we are forgotten, we were still here
>>573941251> no woman owns 40k minisWRONG, Chud.
>>573941363dios mio
>>573941336As all life is born to die, so all men are born to decay. There can be no succour in this world. As the centuries drag past our cultures will fade, just as our bodies waste and our passions cool as the winter of life approaches.In time our mightiest cities shall crack and crumble, and our lofty ideals shall grow weary and jaded. For what are our achievements if not the follies of pride and ignorance?All shall be forgotten with the passing of years. There will be no exceptions. For who amongst us can escape the predations of time? Whom amongst us is beyond the inevitability of decay? That which is young can only grow old. That which is whole and sweet can only shrivel and sour. Nothing is permanent and nothing may remain without blemish. It is the fate of all things that they are bound to time, and time is the twin of decay. So bend a knee, all of this world. Bend a knee all who would embrace their fate and thereby rise above it. Rise up, give in, surrender yourselves to the master of this world.Father Nurgle is our sovereign and lord, and whether it be sooner or whether it be later, he will claim all in time.And so this is how the world shall end; not with fire and tempest, but with the collective sigh of failed passions and lost hope.
kek AR thought I'd lose thisI kinda want sword hastati, wonder if that's a unit in DEI or not these spear hastati... they don't hit the same, not at all
>>573941449
>>573941601holy spearmanii
>>573941363I still don't get what appeal being a tranny (doesn't count as a woman) has over people. Even niche shit like mmorpg private servers has them.

>>573941785sex havers aren't welcome in this thread bub
>>573941680dudes that couldn't get girlfriends developed agp and got propagandized by THAT lobby (you know the one I'm talking about) at the same time, so due to a fetish and goon addiction they strated making themselves into faux women and erping with other ones of the same caliber

>>573942516Let me fink abowt it.... NO
>>573942573His own.
>>573942573ostland
okay but seriosuly we have all been just saying the same shit about fantasy for the past 10 years I think we can actually have new discussion about 40k for at least 20 years before it gets old without this general dying.
>>573942704>The manlet factionoh no no no no no no no no noooooo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcTQ_Z8mRjA
>>573942573none because warhammer fantasy is a trash setting with no proper horse archer faction
>>573942098I'm too lazy to get out there and too afraid of compromise.
>>573942770>Caring about Tribalism Then again it is /vg/
>>573942516Based male friendship enjoyer.
so what are the placeholder factions for tyranids, tau, chaos space marines, dark eldar going to be populated with instead for areas like around the eye of terror and elsewhere? orks? imperial guard (rebel factions?)?
>>573943492idk hth
>>573943181Those who forget history are doomed
>>573943492>He thinks the entire galaxy will be playableThere won't be any placeholder factions necessary because at launch we will only have the armageddon system. It was revealed to me in a dream.
>>573943492Did you not fucking play this game?
>>573937964Your mistake is assuming you cant enjoy both. The same mindset ugly women have when they try to tone police people talking about how hot Lara Croft is or whatever else
>>573943738Sum Ting Wong with my copy of Warhammer Total War. The elves and skaven are missing.
>>573943492Each campaign you play will only be generated with the factions you own except the global multiplayer campaign that lets you fight factions you don't own.
>>573943880Man sometimes its easy to forget how shit the game was at launch.
>>573943880yepp this was a real map
canonically the eldar look like this
>>573944117uoooooooooooooooooooooooogh sex
>>573942934I just think that in the past year that I have tried to care for tw3, I have noticed this community has been stagnating to an unhealthy degree. I think thats in part because warhammer 3 is dogshit, and the setting is also just "finished".
>>573942845The Infernal Guard is so fucking cool.
>>57394404740k fags need to temper their expectations. Reality is gonna hit them hard when they realize their new game is totally barebones and competing with wh3's decade of support. The fallout will be cataclysmic and make the Wh3 hunt for Ursun campaign vs mortal empires debacle look like a fucking joke.
>>573944253nah they're pretty lame. even by dwarf standards.
>>573940502lol @ cultists beating astartes with few casualties, those guys literally exist to waste loyalist SM ammo.
>>573944349>oh boy sure am missing all these factions I'll never ever playwho caresI only play karl franz empire
>>573944349>the people who are used to getting 95% absolutely garbage slop should temper their expectationsI don't think you understand just how low the bar is for an acceptable 40k game
Hoping we'll get the Officio Assassinorum in the game, and that they'll be available to all imperial factions. They're the single coolest part of the setting to me and I feel they shouldn't be too hard to implement as in practice they're just heroes/agents.
>>573944349The planets will be procedurally generated and the factions will be random colors with high gothic/orky/elfish sounding names so there will be literally infinite content at launch. They've consulted Todd.
>>573944047The game was Kino at launch. It was uncluttered and fun.
>>573944047>>573944658some of my most fun ever campaigns in WH TW history were dwarfs and empire on WH1it had the kino mechanic of not being able to settle incompatible climates too which makes sense thematically and kept the map balancednow its just a clusterfuck, climate means nothing, map is nothing but nonsense all cause softies complained and they wanted a sandbox game instead of a conquest game
>>573943880Back when Karl and Thorgrim actually WERE easy beginner campaigns... fuck man, look at that. I've forgotten what starting an Empire campaign and having Stirland/Talabecland/Middenland actually be your early enemy is like.
>>573944805>softies complainedActually it was the autistic tryhard map painter faggots who complained because they couldnt make all regions their colour on the map
>>573944920yes, softiesnow u have empire settling fucking chaos wastes no problem
>>573943880>Start TWW1>Play Karl Franz of course.>Even if Gelt is technically stronger.>Fight humans>Confed and fight beastmen>Then fight undead.>Then fight the orcs invasion from the south.>Last it's the chaos invasion.The entire campaign was kino from beginning to end.
>>573944349Ive been here since the first Fantasy game, I'm in it for the long haul
So.... why will the space marines be genociding the imperial guard or why will the imperial guard be destroying space marines in TWWH40k?
>>573944912>I've forgotten what starting an Empire campaign and having Stirland/Talabecland/Middenland actually be your early enemy is likesounds kino asf, is the old world mod still updated? playable? good? anyone played recently?
>>573944912>starting an Empire campaign and having Stirland/Talabecland/Middenland actually be your early enemy is like.The Empire civil war was comfy. For some reason they shifted over to the imperial authority faggot system which actively punished you for trying to unify the Empire by force. Redditoids complained they couldn't afk and confederate the Empire or something.
>>573943573>asian malebasically cheating
>>573945171These things happen in 40k. The galaxy is a big place, a few genocides are a footnote.
>>573945270but aren't they on the same side?
>>573942909Why do Mongolians ride ponies?
>>573943573if thats a dude, then I am the gayest nigga ever to live
>>573945343>>573943573I will impregnate this fertile male.
>>573945171Conflicting orders from the holy bureaucracy. Please understand. They do this all the time.
>>573945343Most of the wars the Imperial fights are civil wars.
>>573944349I only care about eldar
I hope aeldari get some pretty lords
>>573945364more energy efficient for long steppe haulsdestriers are excellent for running people over and you're relying on shock tactics, steppe horses are shorter but require much less fodder and have much greater stamina
>>573945171This shit happens in like almost every videogame involving both where the player chooses to play as either.Basically think of it this way, why would the kingdom of France declare war on the templars?
How tf will they balance marines if they come in 5s?Even if eldar guardians come in 30s, shuriken catapults absolutely mow down marines due to being high volume and armor piercing
>>573945767trust the process bwo
>>573945767>How tf will they balance marines if they come in 5s?They will come in units of 20.
>>573945767More importantly how the fuck do tey balance Custodes as a bespoke faction?
>get call to schedule job interview for smth i applied for like a month ago>completely drop spaghetti, stutter, ask stupid redunant question, drop something in the middle of the call>end it basically on "o-ok thanks" HAHAHAH surely the interview will go smoothly :) welp another month of cozy NEETing LL for this feel?
>>573945992Queek
>>573945992>a picture of Archaon-chan that I don't haveYOINK
>>573945951They will give them PMS debuff.
>>573945951This is why there is no fucking way marines come in 5s, because it would mean custodes would come as single entities.A faction only comprised of characters
>>573946309>A faction only comprised of charactersKino. Give them each 1 life, if you loose a Custode they don't come back.
>>573945992I am once again wishing Sigvald was in the main Slaanesh faction as he's my favorite Slaanesh character but I'm super autistic about this stuff and need to have one favorite lord from each faction.
So why CA, a british company, prioritized chink audience when it comes to showcasing 40k gameplay reveal?
people itt really acting like you didn't basically control a whole ass chapter in a DoW1 match.
>>573946397i hate anything to do with the chaos wastes, looks like shit, plays like shit, and any chaos nigger u pick will likely be locked in there fighting other chaos shit for a while then getting shit from there to civilized places feels like shitIT FEELS LIKE AN NPC AREA NOT SOMETHING U AS A SENTIENT PLAYER SHOULD BE PLAYINGEmpire is the player areaor even ulthuan
>>573946410The english speaking 40k piggies will sup on the slop no matter what they want that chink money because its not 100% guaranteed but if they can get it to strike big in the bugmen market they'll be way richer and as long as the line goes up that's all that matters.
>>573946309>Total War Herohammer 40k becomes reality.
>>573946410English speakers will buy Total war without marketing.Chinese people won't.Chinese people have money.CA loves money.
>>573943573>>573945374Godspeed, you have about a 5 year period before they hit the wall and half that time is them being underage
>>573946410China market is big.
>>573946410You are so fucking retarded holy shit
>>573946410its been answered like 5 times but basically china is a huge market and unlike the west faggots they're not jaded whining bitches like volound n co, they're a potential fresh market which only recently got into TW with 3k then warhammer, they're very eager for new content and they buy it all up instead of creamapiing china is the land of gacha, DLC is nothing for them, they welcome it in fact
>>573946565Are you retarded? Bugmen literally buy everything that has any chinese representation in it. Do you think 3K sold well in China because of marketing? No, it sold well because it was 3K, just like all the other garbage 3K games on steam.
>>573946410tbfh they seem like they will start a recurrent live stream that they are calling "alpha strike" end of this month, and that will likely be the main avenue of communication from now on if I had to guess
>>573946410China is the most powerful country in the world, why wouldn't you pander to them?
As Chorfs, what's the ratio of camps to factories you should build? And is it better to put all the factories into one single province or put one in each province?
repostin this gem
>>573946613Im no looker myself anymore unless you like aging strongfat metalheads
>>573946765So TW 40k will launch with Ching Chong Ding Dong, legendary lord of the 69th Divine Heavenly Sword Regiment of the Austro Militarum. Bam, representation.
News?
>>573946540But why exclusivity? Could have been a simultaneous reveal, but we have to slurp up billybilly leftovers after Chang.
America is number 1China is number 2India is number 3So why doesn't CA try to appeal to the massive Indian market? Ind is literally right there.
Tau will be the sixth faction because CA wants the asian money
>>573946410>TCALUK, a British company wants to sell highly addictive substances to the Chinese market.Many such cases of this.
>>573947197To do otherwise would be hurting the feelings of the chinese people. You do not want to do that.
>>573947221avg indian monthly salary is 175 USD net, china its 1200 USD ish, use ur brain
>>573947221>So why doesn't CA try to appeal to the massive Indian market???? What the fuck do you mean? They keep putting out nurgle content all the time.
>>573947221
>>573947326wtf Im gonna move to china
>>573938918Intuition is nice and all and has a place but it is limited often by our preconceptions. Especially for the history that interests us with total war it'd do much better to have a precise idea of how things actually looked. For example, if we had not a whiff of archaeological evidence for Myceane but we know they existed we'd just think of them as Classical/Archaic Greeks. Often sameness syndrome in total wars happen just because we don't have the evidence to let us know a visual/equipment difference between areas. >>573944349We're just at a point now of you need to expect a total war will (usually) suck on release and is more of a paid alpha to varying degrees. Like I'm not getting 40k on release, I will once 1-2 more factions get added. But I might grab M3 on release.
>>573947441Get that bag jeetbro.Avoid overly friendly shūshu who will sell you into slavery.
mark my words the next 40k added factions will be chaos and ad mech, GW is pushing ad mech HARD in all properties rn
>ad mechLame I hate their 40k aesthetic
>>573947764One of the things was that I had no idea how common rockets and small assorted guns were in the 100s years war until I found more obscure history books. A lot of the art and presentation of the wars we have don't go into that detail.Actual pictures would be a godsend.
>>573947919>AdmechI see no problems with this, the sooner the better
>>573948025blehthey're kinda boringwould prefer nids or tau (2 of the coolest factions) but it'll be a whilechaostroons are guaranteed, other than that, im guessing admech but it might be tau just for the china clout, I rly rly doubt it tho since GW hates tau
>>573946309Earn your Name.
>>573948123crons toocronds, nids, tau, my favorites besides imp guard
>>573947919>still no in-engine footage of Eldarodds of Eldar being cut from release and replaced with Ad-mech at the last second?
>>573948541imagine the stankthe sweat between those big boobs, unwashed for days
I fucking love Khorne. Without a doubt the most based Chaos God
>>573946309I would play a silly campaign mechanic as a Shield Host of Custodes. What would it be like? Golgfags campaign? Wulfriks?
>>573947197>But why exclusivity? Could have been a simultaneous revealBecause marketing (just like everything else in modern gaming) has been min-maxed and industrialised to ensure maximum engagement and profits. A simultaneous reveal is (according to their spreadsheets) not providing as much engagement online so therefor marketing has to be drip-fed and staggered according to carefully planned schedules. All that matters to these people is finding the best way to maximise engagement, profits and making their quarterly report arrows go up. I used to get annoyed and angry about it, but they only do it because the braindead goycattle eat this shit up without complaint so it's hard to expend energy being bothered anymore.
>>57392388940k is going to flop. I know you see people saying that 40k drones always buy the games regardless of quality, but that isn't true. Many 40k games don't sell well.Everyone is going to be shocked at how incompetent CA has become. No one will believe just how many things have been GUTTED to make it a console friendly game.

>>573948541>those obviously unwashed pubes poking out
>>573948963like what? from the gameplay we've seen it has almost everything u expect from a TW game battles wise
>>573949003Are there any confirmed bachelors in Warhammer Fantasy?
>>573948572zeroEldar fags are the most excited for tw40k since dow4 dont have them
>>573948963wishful, delusional thinkingInstead of sitting around hoping things fail (they won't) why not go find something you enjoy
>>573949048ignore him, these copium posts that 40k will magically flop and CA will need to keep fantasy alive until med3 are boring to interact with
>>573948963I've seen this copium before.
Let me spoiler you how the posts will go>It wont be 40k>It isnt total war>It is shit because there is no faction variety>This monetization is ass>I miss fantasy bros it had sovl>wtf people never said 40k was gonna be shit>Med3 will mog 40k, we can finally have our thread back history sisters>wtf nobody said that med3 was gonna have more players than 40k>remember fantasy b-bros? remember thanquol fag?>bros? where are you all?*dies of heart attack at 42*
>>573947861I wanna... fuck a rat?
>>573949863I predict that Med 3 will sell well but the DLC won't sell and they will go back to making content for 40k.screencap this post.
what ever happened to this guy
>>573949863We should have pivoted to Star Wars and re-introduced naval combat.
>>573950094wegh did his job and went home.
okay but tau dlc when?
>>573950269after the first bespoke marine chapter DLC. Which will probbaly be Blood Angels or Chud Templars.
>>573950328Tau aren't coming that early, CSM will definitely be before them, Necrons probably, Tyranids maybe.I would predict five Marine DLC before Tau.
>>573950452CSM will probably be the first new faction DLC altogether 2bh
>>573950452tau will be before crons and nids for obvious reasons
idk why people think the Chinks like tau they tend to be more into the Imperium.
>CSMchainsaw man? just say chaos like normal people you clowns
>>573950452Chaos Daemons should be high on the list because CA already has all the assets made.
>Open 40k Total War.>Look at all the factions (I own all of them because not poor)>All of them are highlighted as unplayed except Imperial guard.>"Hmmm, I think I shall play another Imperial Guard campaign."
I thought CSM were neat in DoW. I liked them more than SM.
>>573950819CSM will be Kino because they will use variants of Imperial guard units as fodder.
DOOM KNIGHTS FUCKING SUCK ASS WHAT THE FUCKTHESE ASSHOLES COULDN'T FIGHT THEIR WAY OUT OF A WET PAPER BAG
>>573950706I hope CA puts detailed statistics in 40k>congrats on starting your 376th Imperial Guard campaign.>you've played 300 hours today, consider taking a break
>>573950652What chaos?Death Guard?World Eaters?Emperor's Children?Thousand Sons?Chaos Daemons?Chaos Space Marines?I think I shall just keep using CSM to refer to Chaos Space Marines of no particular godly lean.
>>573950706>Imperium>Imperial Guard>Cadia>YarrickYeah, its gaming time
>>573950913Are they shock calvary or can they brawl?
I just hope CA can start putting good music in their games again.
>>573950978chaos is chaoswe go by dawn of war rules herebesides im p sure its not like space marine chapters they are much more blended in
>>573951097idiot
>>573951097>we go by dawn of war rules hereDoW didn't haveDeath GuardWorld EatersEmperor's ChildrenThousand SonsChaos Space MarinesChaos Demonsas unique factions.Thank you and good night.
>>573951038Richard beddow is out. so we can hope
>>573951031AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THE ONLY FUCKING THING THEY CAN FIGHT IS ARTILLERY CREWS AND GYROCOPTERS
>>573951186meh the faction in 40k will be just chaos I bet else it'll be too similar to the space marine faction
>>573951031They're hardcore shock.You dive them in and do damage and then get them the fuck out before their shield breaks and then you let it recharge and then rinse and repeat
>>573940297So are Dire Avengers basically just elite Guardians in practical terms or do they have any unique features to bear in mind.
>though useful, all sorcery offends Khorne, and so the Butcher is slainBased
I'm genuinely shocked by how much 40k we're getting. Is is closer than we thought?
>>573952549>hates magic>is made of magicchaosniggers are so retarded
>>573952707I wouldn't be surprised at a summer 2027 release date.
given how changeling turned out, should we greatly temper expectations for alpha legion scheming
>>573952768>alpha legionLMAOyou'll wait till 2032 for those buddy
>>573952768I would be surprised if we got any real mechanics to represent the alpha legion until like 2-3 years into the DLC cycle.
>>573945171There are a bajillion reasons why IG(or, factions represented by IG) and SM's could fight. Or IG and IG, and SM and SM's. I expect that "over all" they will direct you to mostly fight Orks and Eldar as IG/SM's, but surely occasionally you will be sent to fight SM's and Guard.Some examples for fighting Guard/Guard Equivalents either as Guard or SM's:>Rebel Imperial governor tries to secede with their domain, put them down>Planet is not making their tax contributions, knock heads to show them the error of their ways>Administratum fucked your force over in the past and you are going nuclear to correct things>Force refuses orders to fight after exposure Chaos/Xenos threat, must be put down and their resources folded back in to the Imperium to correct things.Examples that could justify fighting SM's as other SM's or Guard:>Chapter is empire building and gathering too much power to themselves while refusing to help local Imperial forces>Chapter refusing the Tithe>Difference in religious belief in the divinity of the Emperor boils over.>Inquisition is pissy with the chapter for valid reasons or not and you have been requested to punish them.>X chapter insulted your saint/primarch, time to kill them.
>>573950882i dont really like traitor guard, i prefer the cultists mobs
>>573952707Dawn of War 4 will be in September this year and already has a Year 1 DLC pathTW40k will probably show up next year, Games Workshop is just forcing CA to hype the game
WE ARE EAGER TO PLEASE
>>573946309>>573945767Marines may come in 10's. It may have just been Terminators that were in 5s while perhaps regular squads will be 10s. Maybe veterans are also 5's.That said, as for the question of Shuriken Catapults the answer is probably just "Marines will be pound for pound better than Eldar" so yeah, 5 or 10 Intercessors, regardless ofthe unit size they end up with, will end up being a match for 30 Guardians. I personally don't mind but Im sure others will.>>573945893I hope not. I really want to make autistic company armies(this is why I want basic marines to be 5 really, but it could still work with 10 and a hefty amount of vehicles/scouts).
>>573953212OW MY SPLEEN
>>573952707Its gonna be on 40k 40th anniversary, im sure of that
LMAO the faces are so funny
>>573954472
>>573954472Me on the right.
jesus christ the amount of factions...sure hope they fix the whogle unit cards being peasant placeholders thing tho, seriously pisses me off
>>573955045>sure hope they fix the whogle unit cards being peasant placeholders thing thoLmao.Someone does not know how to read.
>>573955096oh... I see
the map is absolutely massive tho, impressive it kinda looks like shit with the color scheme etc tho lol
>>573955447kekd
yeahh I don't have the patience for this kinda mod lmao but glad it exists, these campaigns seem like 1000-turners easily
>>573955883It's not very good, sometimes less is more.
saars
they leaked the new Odyssey screenshots
>>573939932Winter
>>573957004no replenishment at all in winter always?
>>573935980If Miao isn't hot, how come I pop a chub whenever she contacts me for diplomacy?pls help I've had to close the game to jack off multiple times during my Greasus campaign because she keeps asking me for a defensive alliance but I don't want to get sucked into Cathay
>>573957287For DEI there are a few factors, regional supply, seasonal effects, army and general traits, building bonuses, as well as population available in that region. To be safe until you learn more it's best to just go straight for the replenishment skill on your general and also build granaries everywhere
>>573957542granary = supply pit? I guesswell thanks I'll try, I still don't fully understand the supply system, but basically ur army uses the supply resource of a region plus it has its own reserve, when the region runs out or you step into enemy territory ur running on their reserve, then when u come back to a friendly region with supply it starts filling the reserve fully then direct consumption again? There's also a caravan unit or something I think plus diff modifiers like the shit harbors give
>>573957874Basically all of that, yeah. Also build the yellow supply building in most, if not all, of your province capitals.
>planet getting exterminatus'd I hope we can use that on worlds in tw40k
>>573958017Is there any downside to building recruitment buildings in minor cities of the province? Same effect right? The recruitment pop pool is province wide I think
>>573957419>Doesnt want to get sucked in cathay's mouth
if you cant recite at least 2 lore of nehekhara incantations you will be hanged
>>573958410Pop is actually per settlement iirc
>>573951097>chaos is chaos>we go by dawn of war rules hereLolLmaoDoW exist before Primarchhammer became the normWe're getting all four Cult Legions, Iron Warriors with unique stuff + Perturabo, and Word Bearers + Lorgar. When they bring back Konrad he'll also get a special army focused on Raptors, and Omegon will get a unique faction as well.This also applies to Loyalist Marines, who are getting Guilliman right out the gate, Lion on an early DLC, and then Space Wolves will get a unique army for Russ as well.You vastly underestimate just how popular Primarchs are in the broader community that will be playing TW40K. We're basically getting Horus Heresy 2 within a few years, maybe even sooner via mods. If you thought Skaven getting a lion share of DLC in TWW2 was bad it's going to seem merciful compared to the endless spew of Space Marines we're going to be getting in 40k.
>"upgrade" your lord>level cut by half>not immortal anymorei dont know man, seems trash, at least make it immortal since its actually a great demon
holy shit the m2ex chad putting in 40 unit battles
>>573952707There are good reasons to believe they started assigning serious resources to 40k shortly after WH3 launched
>>573959858i think only the nurgle demon prince is good bc it's a good fighter, good magic, healingthe rest are kind of disappointing, especially the khorne demon prince and most can't compare to a dragon mountironically besides great unclean one (too slow) i think the greater demons are actually pretty good lords in comparison
>>573958410The only downside is that it takes up a slot that could be used for an economic building but otherwise it's not bad, if your recruitment building is in one region you can recruit from it provincewide.
>>573959303Skaven will get more content than SM once they're added to 40k tho
>>573960219zomg, is that in a new release?
>>573961261work in progress shit, rn the latest thing posted in releases isn't stable so I'm not using it, still on 21/6 personally, new one has the range indicators among other shit, but I'll wait for stable tho
>>573958374I got like ZERO idea how the campaign is gonna work.Like, at points it seems like stacks will still roam the map, but at the same time, it looks like a part of your army will remain in the ship to provide reinforcements.There is no information about how many factions will fight over a planet, or, if you take a planet, if you can lose it or it gets "locked". There is no information if you gonna recruit units in the ground or exclusively in your ship.So far I don't see a point in doing exterminatus either because I can't ever see the planet becoming so entrenched with an enemy that you can't just remove it through normal means.All in all, for the love of god they need to start talking about the long campaign
I wanted to play gitz because they are the best thing that has happened to Warhammer and I still needed the achievement for Warhammer 3 so I fire up Grom, and by turn 20 Bretonnia and Eltharion are wiped out, I look at victory conditions and it says "occupy, raze, or sack 60 settlements". Wtf? Where are the win cons, where should I slog the remaining 50 settlements
>>573961745There is no "long campaign"You'll get a small campaign of a few worldsWhen you win you get bonuses for future campaigns
>>573961959Long and short difference is just the amount of planets iirc
>>573961959Not reallyShort = 1 planetLong = MultipleI have to rewatch the livestream again but they touched on this
>>573961745>Like, at points it seems like stacks will still roam the map, but at the same time, it looks like a part of your army will remain in the ship to provide reinforcements.You will have a limited number of fleets and can put 40 units on them as well as your generals. You can use these to invade worlds.When you secure a province on a planet you raise armies on the planet and fight over it like normal.>There is no information about how many factions will fight over a planet, or, if you take a planet, if you can lose it or it gets "locked".There is no limit, any faction with a fleet can attack a planet if they move to it.>There is no information if you gonna recruit units in the ground or exclusively in your ship.Both.>So far I don't see a point in doing exterminatus either because I can't ever see the planet becoming so entrenched with an enemy that you can't just remove it through normal means.I have no idea how that mechanic is going to work, it will likely just be a gimmick or a way to speed up a campaign.>All in all, for the love of god they need to start talking about the long campaignThere is none, all campaigns are designed to end in about 100 turns at most.
>>573961393well that is some good shit on the horizon I'd say
>>573962172So, imagine right at the start of a campaignYou have multiple "vessels" around the system and landed factions that are native.So the vessels go around conquering shit?So its like Endless Space?
>>573962172>>573961745sounds a bit shit
>>573962290>So its like Endless Space?Kinda yeah.
>>573962407>>573962390Honestly it doesn't sound so bad, but the campaign would need to be, like, way fucking harder than what it currently is in order for it to be fun, I want to be kicked out of planets
>>573944349I hope it has the same rep as Darktide: Souless cashgrab shittier in everything. The fact that it's made by CA's main team, the same people who made base TWW3 is all that needs to be said it'll be shit and buggy
>>573963021>CA's main teamIt's cute that people here still think there's different teams making different games at CA and not just a single team with supporting studios occasionally making DLC on their own.
Why faggots want the game to fail?So they can continue paying for DLC to their ancient game forever?
>>573963369>Why faggots want the game to fail?A long time ago on /v/ there was something called TortanicStar wars: Knights of the old republic... it was the first time I can remember a large portion of the community wanting something to failIt released in an underwhelming way, which caused euphoria onlineJoyless, lifeless retards have been chasing that high ever since to hilarious results (see the lead up to Elden Ring)
Here's a fact that /twg/ isn't ready to accept.Hyenas was a gem and would have flourished if they had actually released it. CA just didn't have faith.
>>573963635Wildest post in this thread so far
>>573963369It's not my fault, I don't want 40k. I want another fantasy Total War game
>>573963626This explains why concord got so much attention
>>573963779why is frieren there
nan gau hairy dragon pussy
>>573963779Dominions Total War will be after Med3
>>573963794yeah but everyone knew Concord was a turdAnd SWTOR ended up doing fine overall in the end (not a WoW killer or anything but we've learned since that the only thing that can kill WoW is WoW itself)There are some histfag diehards lurking around trying to derail the thread once in awhile but I refuse to believe there is a sizable contingent of people who LOVE fantasy but HATE 40k.... most Warhammer fans enjoy both
>>573963779You do realize that shitting on 40k won't magically make a fantasy total war get into production.Actually, 40k flopping would most likely fatally cripple CA, specially since med3 won't sell as much dlc and they still owe sega the Hyenas money
>>573963779You had your time shitposting, time to move on

>>573968523why wouldnt genestealers be something like the trickster cultist who suicides to make a cult somewhere?
>>573968523Is funny because GSC were top performers in tournies for a while.
>>573968678>why wouldnt genestealers be something like the trickster cultist who suicides to make a cult somewhere?1) Genestealers that form cults don't suicide, they become its leader.2) There are Genestealer Cults that actively rule over taken worlds because the Hive Fleets never actually showed up.3) In some instances the hive fleets don't even eat the GSC when they're done, instead preferring to send them out on voidships to infect new places.4) Hive Fleet Tiamet even cultivates entire fleets of voidborne GSC that offer it biomass as tribute
>>573969028>2) There are Genestealer Cults that actively rule over taken worlds because the Hive Fleets never actually showed up.This actually isn't completely true, what sometimes happens is the Hive Mind decides to experiment and spare the cult by tell it to hop on some ships and spread.This isn't a change in behavior, the Hive Mind regularly just tries out bullshit to see what sticks.
>>573969161It depends on the when and where. The Cult of the Twisted Helix began when scientists self-infected and have taken over multiple planets along with a massive medical industry. The GSC are very much their own faction at this point and they're fully capable of fighting Tyranids on the tabletop and the lore has to back that up in one way or another. Keep in mind it's not outside the realm of possibility for Tyranids to kill eachother either. Despite the existence of the Hive Mind, Hive Fleets are not necessarily friendly to eachother nor are GSC always friendly to them.
if they dont update coast in the fagash dlc i will hurt you
>>573940897I saw what you fags did to /coopg/, I see you fags are doing the same here. Yes, I much prefer the fantasy discussion. 40k should've gotten it's own general years ago for you to put all your games in.
>diplomacy for end games crisises is still not fixed by them declaring war on ONLY you and not caring about any of your military allies and if your allies were friends with them they still are and rapidly hate you for defending yourselfthere are people who think this company will make a good 40k game
>>573940897>40kfags are going to treat fantasyfags the way fantasyfags treated histfags
>40k isn't even out yet>thread is nothing but 40kshitters talking about the setting of 40k, not the game (that isnt even out yet)i hate 40kshitters so much its unreal
>>573972439>>573972895Worst thing that can happen to any general is letting the 40kfans in.
>>573972439>I saw what you fags did to /coopg/Guess you shouldn't have let in so many "media literate" types before the 40k fags showed up. Taufags will not be tolerated.

>>573977137I don't know but if I catch even a whiff of that faggot Noah Van Nguyen I'm not buying the Tau DLC. I am so fucking sick to death of people portraying the Tau as flawless mary sues that never do anything morally questionable.
>>573976082
>>573977937Thanks, anon!
>>573961745What I'm interested in seeing is how they're going to handle Space Marine troop types and numbers. Traditionally, at least since the Horus Heresy, Space Marines are grouped into Chapters of no more than 1000 marines each. That's a tough limit to work with in the scheme of a Total War game and I presume at some point we will be supplementing SM forces with allied IG units.
>>573978016any time
>>573979671Shit like this makes me glad that 40k treats demons with the respect they deserve.

>>573980345this is why i deleted heroes from the game and it is still a massive chore to play
>>573972439Darktide simply purged furfaggotry out of /coopg/, it was net improvement for the general
>>57394089740K community is also full of bad shitposters thoAnd it's bigger. So the general might get worse
>>573943492There is no need for that. Instead of a themepark like Immortal Empire where you have entire world, but everything is squeezed together like in TES and small, you now have dedicated campaigns like The Old World mod (but even more focused).Bastior won't be a playable campaign for as long as Nids aren't in gameI guess they can use Imperial Guard or Space Marines as renegades sometimes
>>573948963>40k is going to flop
if 40k is so good why doesnt it have any movies or tv shows?Checkmate FedoraEmperor
I got some questions about Nurgle factions.In terms of settlement management, do I want to build growth in minor settlements or corruption? I know I can boost corruption with my heroes but they're often in provinces that I'm fighting in so by the time I'm building up a province the corruption is usually high. Does this make corruption buildings redundant or are the bonuses they offer worth it? I heard that Nurgle wants to occupy settlements, so I build them up with corruption and growth buildings, but I don't make much money. How is nurgle supposed to get rich? Also, how do you deal with ranged heavy armies? Nurgle units are obviously slow but I find their best units are big as well. Should I be recruiting and cycling flyers ahead of time before attacking Cathay or the empire? I feel bad recruiting furies, plague drones and poison warhounds so late into a campaign, and also disbanding other more valuable units to fit them in.
>>573986571CorpseChud has no answer
>>573961745This is how I understand itYou have a planetary system, either premade or generated onePlanets are roughly the size of Ulthuan with normal provinces and regions to conquer, armies move as normal on themVoid between planets is sea, fleet is fleet, but you need to have ships again like in Med2 and not just spawn them out of thin air to cross the "sea" like in TWWJust like in Empire at War you have a reinforcement pool from which you can requisition units during battle. But you need to have those units on your ship in orbit, if you deploy them on planet they are no longer in the reinforcement poolGalaxy map is like selecting your realm in Age of Wonders 4, faction creation looks similar too by selecting traits etcOnce you finish a campaign you go back to main menu, probably earn some metaprogression resource and then you can use it to improve your faction so it starts stronger in next campaign

>>573988134>What Im worried about is that CA is going to add booster packs to increase and quicken the progression.I don't believe they will do so. I think the main objective is increase player retention. CA is annoyed that people drop campaigns 30 turns in, they mentioned it few times and that they seek to combat it. Letting players to skip progression like this is counterproductive to that and will come with a hate campaign to boot. They want players to play this game constantly and think of it constantly, that way players are more willing to buy dlcs for it, which actually will be plentiful and talk about it thus driving other people to buy itI can see cosmetic packs and season pass being a thing in an addition to lord/race packs we know. Chapters like Blood Ravens, Lamenters, Crimson Fists etc or even many 1st founding Chapters like Raven Guard have no content to make actual dlc out of them. All of those have unique single character at best. I can see them becoming playable via Cosmetics Pack which come with unique LL and mostly bits for faction/character customization.Booster packs, lootboxes or paid currency won't be a thing
reminder that changeling transforms into ghorst without his mountjust a faggot old faggot with no mortis aoeWHY WHY CANT YOU HAVE MOUNTSFUCK YOUR MOM TCA FUCK YOU TWG
>>573988846>CA is annoyed that people drop campaigns 30 turns inThen they should make it so the game doesn't become a slog in 30 turns when the AI has boosted resources enough to field twice as many armies as they reasonably should and have no reason to meet you in the field EVER.
>>573988846>CA is annoyed that people drop campaigns 30 turns in, they mentioned it few times and that they seek to combat it.What better way to do that than to ensure player investment by incentivising them to funnel MTX into a campaign?
>>573986764Ignore corruption buildings, build money. As for armies, Rot Flies are great. Their mass is high enough to knockback infantry on normal melee attacks, so in sieges they'll kill 2-4 models each swing by knocking them off the wall. While much worse at nuking targets in Field Battles, their main role is just to tie ranged units down until Rot Knights have killed enemy flankers and engage the backline. For me, a cookie-cutter doomstack is usually Nurgle caster lord + 2 cultists + 4 rot knights + 4 flies + 9 plaguebearers. Send plaguebearers in first: with cultists healing them they'll barely take damage when closing in. Send flies to tie down ranged the moment they start shooting plaguebearers. Rot knights mop up the sides and backline while plaguebearers/flies just tie shit down so knights can work. If cultist cap is an issue, you can also replace them + a fly with 3 Soul Grinders for more ranged-heavy army.
>>573988241I'd rather some procgened systems that can be reasonably painted and played to late game without it feeling like a massive chore.
>>573989962Gee thanks for the reply anon.I'm playing tamurkhan and I find his campaign is a bit face roll after you kill kholek and get the Toad dragon mount. Since tamurkhan buffs mortals, is there any change to this doomstack or do I still run plaguebearers?
>>573989970
>>573989748I also feel the faction variety being everywhere is an issue. In WH1/2 if you invaded, say, Empire or Lustria you could expect to face mostly humans/lizardmen and plan your armies accordingly. After mopping up said area you needed new army compositions. It felt like you're adapting and working towards something. Now every area has a mismash of enemies so you just build cookie cutter armies. Once you've defeated your surrounding mismash and have armies set up by turn 30, there wont be any meaningful variation and the rest just becomes brainless map painting. Lustria has like 2 lizard factions left, being populated by Cathay, Vampire Coast, Bretonnia, Empire, Slaanesh, High Elves, Dark Elves and Khorne. Empire now has addition of Nurgle, Wood Elves, Tzeentch, Ogres and Skaven. Although variation is objectively greater it just devolves into homogenous, meaningless soup.
>>573990095Of course, its up to you. I like infantry-heavy armies but your mileage may vary. Plague Ogres are great, especially the anti-infantry ones. You could always swap, say, flies and a plaguebearer for 2 toad dragons and 3 ogres. Toad Dragons can break walls (so AI falls back, no need for flies) and have enough mass to just push through infantry to backlines in field battles, while Ogres give you tons more armor piercing anti-infantry punch. Ditch Rot Knights for GW ogres for variation if you feel like it? They arent as good, but more than serviceable. As long as you have some sort of answer to flankers and shutting down ranged you'll get away with pretty much anything.
>>573989898>What better way to do that than to ensure player investment By not letting them skip playing the game. This same thing SM2 devs do, making sure there is always something to grind for. There are even limits on your ingame cash so you can't acquire infinite amount of it for future, so you have to grind again come new update.You are doing nonsensical doomerism, booster packs and paid currency would be counterproductive for goal CA wants to achieve. You can see how fast CA works, they need players to still keep playing after half a year without update or dlc.

I just tried a co-op campaign with a friend after buying the game during the sale and I was surprised by how hard it was. We had to deal with an overwhelming amount of enemies coming from the north after the great orthodoxy was wiped out by rats before turn 20. That combined with the game deciding to freeze during an ai turn made us give up on the campaign.Is the ai made to priorities attacking players over everything else? Even when the vampires were at war with other factions they always only focused on me and the factions that were at war with them never went on the offensive even when they had the opportunity to. Most annoyingly was when the dwarves decided to declare on me instead of the vampires after I razed a vamp cityAre there any slightly easier starts anons here would recommended for 2 player co-op?
>>574002912Cathay
>>574002912Play the Malekith and Grombrindal: bros for life campaign
>>574002912>Is the ai made to priorities attacking players over everything elseYes, and its, by far, the worst thing about the warhammer games
>>574002912Yes in a sense AI does prioritize players over other AI, couple of reasons:1. Players begged CA to prevent AI from wiping other major AI factions because they can't play pokemon if all lords of their preferred race are dead before they get to them.2. Player usually has less standing armies than AI rivals at least in the early game meaning that AI sees player as easy sack money.As for the easy coop starts:- Changeling + anybody chaos/skaven- Golgfag + anybody- WoC + any neighboring chaos/skaven- Morghur + Skarbrand- Greasus/Golgfag + Zhao Ming- Wood Elves + any order aligned neighborThere's more but I don't want to write an excel spreadsheet.If you only have base game then Greasus + Zhao or Be'lakor + any chaos faction since he can teleport.
I actually really like how super lategame med 2 or rome 1 is just a battle between two mega empires cause the dudes on the other sides of the map conquered eveyrthing by the time u get there and it was often a surprise on which faction did that, huge lategame boss if u wanted to beat it or not warhammer 3 feels like past turn 100 the world is just static, doesn't change again
>>574003810CA needs to stop listening to reddit All of the shittiest updates were born thereLike for example, the fact we are not getting black legion dlc on day one
>>574004024Reddit hated the big empires in WH2
>>574004075>>574003810why not implement recruit defeated legendary lords officially... ? when you capture their home region
>>574004031>the fact we are not getting black legion dlc on day oneNo what's truly concerning is the fact that they have vocally proclaimed they're putting Armageddon in the game but they have only shown Cadians but no Steel Legion
>>574004223That's because Steel Legion are the IG release for later in 11th edition and thus won't be ready for TW40K's launch. E joy getting them as DLC.
>>574004223GW also didnt put steel legion in armageddon because they want to sell the minis next year, so that was likely their call over CA
>>574004169It shouldn't be a mandatory feature. Sometimes people just fucking die lol - it adds to the randomness and allows for more unique scenarios if player can't always confederate them all. What's the point of always playing the exact same game? Perhaps that's why so many people get bored before the end game - they know what to expect before they get there and they don't have to put any effort in achieving it.

>>574003771>>574003810Is there a mod to fix it?
>>574004926No. CA can't even fix it despite trying in almost a dozen patches at this point. The main dev team baked it into the game and fucked it all up
>>574004808Can't wait to have 300 toggles in the game and spend an hour before the multiplayer on deciding what should or shouldn't be a game feature when I play with friends. It's all I ever wanted.>>574004926Don't know I don't play with mods. There probably is something that changes it but I'd advise you to simply get accustomed to it and get better over time. Learning the game is part of playing it after all.
>>574004926Iirc yes, it can be modded and there is a couple, most of the overhauls do it
"People" who complain about "anti-player bias" are the biggest fucking morons in the world.
>>574005120>Can't wait to have 300 toggles in the game and spend an hour before the multiplayer on deciding what should or shouldn't be a game feature when I play with friends. It's all I ever wanted.It's called presets, even Pharaoh managed to have this and every Paradox game has it.
>>574005345Um actually customization BAD and options BAD because my tiny brain gets decision paralysis
I think the big part of what people call anti-player bias is just fucked ai who doesn't even see other ais at his border. They said they fixed it some time ago but I still see shit like natural enemies next to each other having neutral reactions because they can't see one another and never formally met. And ai is programmed to declare war on nearest suitable target it sees if it has no wars. If it only sees the player that's who it will declare.
>>574005305Its ass and its not fun, I can deal with it, but it doesnt mean I want it in my games.I would prefer that the world felt alive instead of a scripted pos
>>574005345>>574005616>first person: are we playing on this preset?>second person: yes but let's toggle 10 things>first person: oh so we're playing custom>third person: while we're at it let's toggle 10 more things>fourth person: since we toggled xyz I'm playing as somebody else>second person: If you're switching then I also have to switch because xyz reasonIt's never ending bullshit. Same as playing with people who use mods.
Totl wah is billshite
>>574005667It's also largely priority. Enemy factions declaring war on and beelining it to you instead of fighting other, closer enemies because the game thinks it needs to keep the player engaged at all times is just idiotic.Speaking of Pharaoh, it actually had a great level of anti-player bias. Watching enemies fight each other and sea people raid events happen to everyone was very fun and satisfying.
>>574005832This is a single player game.

>>574006271>ragequitSomeone in my circle who ragequits won't be coming back.
>>574005832You have a terrible friend group. Literally never had this happen, the host has a playset of the rules in games that have them and we just play the game.

>>574006365>>574006375>>574006435They are people I've known for more than 15 years, when it comes to other activities that aren't customizable, other games or just playing snooker irl they are ok.It only happens when the game gives too many options because everybody has their own niches and preferred playstyles that aren't necessarily a perfect fit for eachother.
>>574004926Destiny: Total War
>>574006753So do you guys spend ten minutes arguing over endgame crises and when they trigger then? Or whether to have the AI/minor faction potential setting on?

>>574007038This has also been my experience. The only friction is when two players both want to play the same newly released Lord-niggerfaggot
>>574002912Coop campaigns are much harder than singleplayer campaigns because you're discovering factions much sooner (meaning they aggro on you) and because none of the singleplayer player protections CA implemented works in the multiplayer campaigns.
>>574006871Crises yes, minor faction potential not really because it's too inconsequential. Choosing faction combinations and difficulty settings takes the longest because we have that one friend who watched too many youtubers who bitch how skavenslaves can beat chosen on VH and therefore he isn't playing on anything that's higher than normal. Sometimes we have to play on normal and those campaigns end super quick since there's 6 of us. When that happens the next time we're usually able to convince him that playing on higher difficulty will result in longer campaigns - to which with great butthurt he ends up agreeing to.

>>574025749Honestly your best bet is to go to the discord and ask, there are active mods and devs and people who know everything and will get back to you quickly. But from what I can see is that your pop 1 soldiers probably don't have enough to replenish them in that region and your general's replenishment stat probably isn't that high and it's also possible there is no replenishment bonus building in that region. Better to put them in encamp stance or in the city too for faster replenishment, and it won't always update right away with the green + sign if they are going to replenish over the end turn

Give me the Vampire Counts rework. Now.
How is Nakai these days? I mostly stick to Tehenhauin or Oxyotl for Lizards.
>>574043165Cathay girls are the cutest
>always prioritize growth and income>never get to use t4-5 units because campaigns are over by the time I unlock them, and/or its simply more economically/tactically useful to have 3 t1’s or 2 t2-3 units anywaysHow do you defeat the autism of being good at the game?I’m at the point now that if I’m not taking a settlement nearly every turn, I know I’m playing like shit on purpose.
>>574039893Searing Doomyes my favorite LLs are Archaon and Gelt, how could you tell?

>>574043248you just do your starting quests and get saraus and blessed kroxigor (either type) and immediately kill dechala before she gets anything that counters you
Is Cathay the shittiest faction in the game?Not even the chinks like them, dawg.
How would you feel if they announced that they're scrapping Med3 and making Rome 3 instead?
>>574046412I'm not a histroon but I would feel bad for the trannies dying over Med3.
>>574046392Kislev in its WH3 form is fucking awful, it's such a mess. I hate it.
>>574021937Why would that cause seethe?
>>574046669Oh, well, you know.:)
>>574046392it would be danielhowever kislev roster is extremely schizophrenic and i kind of just dread playing or going up against them
>>574022423>>574022574I think I will save the 69KB one
>>574046782>>574046587Kislev is not as bad as Cathay
>>574043676The purpose of video games is to be enjoyable.If playing "optimally" is less fun for you then it's the wrong way for you to play.If it isn't, then it's not.
>>574043676Oh I just build what I like and it works out.
>>574046837cathay at least is coherent on the campaign map and battlefieldkislev has scuffed campaign mechanics, and the roster is just incoherent like why we have chaos monsters available to be recruited by the orthodox church stand in? why is everything bears? scopes on crossbows? cathay at least had some kind of internal armybook they were using to develop it, kislev feels like someone's fever dream
Why was Settra so autistic?
>>573947989Yeah, I've long come around to a similar view of how much popular culture shapes our expectations. So when something goes against it it can really be trying to swim upstream against that. See the painted Greek sculptures and buildings as an example or similar medieval painted armor.>>573968523Nah I'm confident they'll be added proper.>>573955045I dunno what the cause of that is, but unit cards are underappreciated for how critical they are to look good. Since you stare at them more than you stare at the unit's actual appearance. Voiceovers is another thing - DOW1's being king among kings for how memorable and suitably hammy they were.
>>574047201You can remove the dlc units and kislev feels completely fine, if a little too focused on only one of their gods.
>>574047414I hated Kislev since launch because of ICE ICE ICE and BEARS BEARS BEARS
>>574047414I just ran a mod that added gun shit to kislev and I found it more enjoyable.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3566493524And another one that jostled some of the units, like the light wagons are carried by horses now i think. It never felt overpowered as I suck and Kislev remained rather fragile feeling. But they did a good job with the balance in my experience where your artillery is so close range you can't just play as empire but slavic
>>574046392There's nothing wrong with Cathay.
>>574047201The Kislev mod in Wh2 had a better roster than Official Kislev. >Streltsi with Bardiche for your frontline, like a Kislev Sea Guard.>Actual cannons instead of the meme mortar pulled by a bear>Ungol horse archer units are an actual thing
What if every faction could recruit Witch Elves?
>>574047496Kislev def isn't fun other than doing a Boris Chad run once in awhile but most people didn't even know he existed for awhile.Cathay got better after the zillianth overhaul.
>>574048056Plenty wrong with it.
>>574048460Nah.
>>574048508+10 social credit score.
>>574048560Do you actually have criticisms about Cathay or is this just about real life politics?
Clearly there's something wrong about Cathay because Sky-Lantern is OP in tabletop but shit in game
>>574048710Yes.
>>573997191Kino
Louen lost to MorghurAnd tomorrow, it is likely that Be'lakor will lose to Tehenhauin
>>574048141I'm still mad we never got heavy horse archers, it would have fit Kislev's hybrid deal so well
>>573996270>>573997191>hazing>hazing, japan
>>574046392i hate cathay because they dont resemble warhammer at all, just like the tau
>>574049981Thank you.
>>574049486The fuck are you talking about?
>>574049981>best human empire (tau) doesn't resemble warhammerkek
AAAAARGHHHHHHH I CANT TAKE ANYMOREI NEED 40K RELEASED NOWTODAY
>>574049981This argument is stupid. Neither Warhammer has one concise look. High Elves look like they're from an entirely different world from the Empire. Eldar look like they're from an entirely different universe than the Imperium. Cathay and Tau both don't like any more different than any two random factions from each setting look different from each other.
i love cathay, i love invading cathay and killing them all fuck i love warham!
>>574050678Lokhir, is that you?
>Tehenhauin arrives in Grand CathaySILLY SOTEK!
what if we got ind as a faction and cathay as the tzeentch occupied land as was originally intended and the opposite of what we have now? would wh3 have been much better?
Everyone but me in my family got the explosive shit bug. Ll for this feel?

What kind of faction mechanics could Mazdamundi have? Like half the Lizardmen have nothing. There must be something halfway interesting CA could give chief toad and the others.

So, seeing that Kasrkin were 30 models per unit in the gameplay, do you think there'll be a large incentive to keep shock troopers around for more numbers on the field or do you think late game armies will end up with Guard having like 180-300 or so men on the field, plus all your tanks. I would probably always bring troopers anyway(heck, I may even autistically not recruit Kasrkin if I am not a Cadian regiment; as an aside I really hope Cadian Shock Troopers are not the only unit/they have a more generic voice set if not playing as Cadians) but still, most players I'd expect to build more optimally so I just wonder if they'll incentivize more bodies on the field.As an aside,with Kasrkin at 30 models I also expect that'd be the model size for Eldar(at least for Guardians; Aspects I could see around 20) so I wonder if anyone will sperg out if Eldar end up as being(slightly) more numerous than Marines since they seem to be 5 or 10 men per unit.
>>574056867>Taco bell>Immigrant foodIs this European education?
>>574056867>immigrant foodTaco Bell is as American as McDonalds. If you think it resembles actual Mexican food I've got some Mexica ruins to sell you.

Only deploying your high tier stuff if you actually need them.
>>574057343It was made by a fat white guy after WW2 in the US. It's very fat, and very American.
>>574057343average male high elf
>>574055632Total War Warhammer should have weather mechanics in battles. Both natural and supernatural weather. Lizardmen should be able to manipulate the Weather to whatever they want. Could also work for the other undeveloped factions like Kislev too
Ever since the patch I have several times ended up in situation where I've killed every unit in an enemy army but a hero has escaped. On the campaign map that here now occupies the same tile as my army which mean my army cannot move. It's happened twice in a city where I solved it by razing my own city which moved my army out of it but the enemy hero was still stuck. When it's happened out in the field I'd had to use a hero to assassinate the enemy hero before I can move. Has anyone else encountered this?
>>574057343that better be a boy
>>574057416Not unreasonable, would make sense. Good for progression over all. Wonder if when you deploy high tier units if you keep them on the surface by default or if you can send them back after the battle(or shuffle around your forces generally). I would think/hope so.I also wonder if you'll only be able to reinforce if there's a fleet or if your army can also carry its own reinforcements in its back pocket, or draw reinforcements from nearby garrisons. Could maybe be mixed based on race.
Well I guess it's time to introduce the Florida natives to their future neighbours
I kind of miss the gangbang trains of heroes that would try to fuck over your armies every turn.
>>574059579No you don't. Don't be a dumbass.
>>574059712They could have balanced it better but it was more interesting than what AI map heroes do now.
>>574057541>anons in the current year don't recognize herI'd like to say we're healing but that doesn't sound right
Total War Warhammer 3 who do you ship with who needs to have at least one female but can be two females. And not necessarily just two individuals I was going to see people but I don't think you can call quite a number of days name LL people .
I don't speak the tongue of the Beastmen.
>>574057143Late game stacks will be nothing but tanks. Unless they do something like DoW1 and have individual infantry/vehicle caps. Not a bad idea desu
Thrones of Britannia has unit caps.
>>574060729The best ship is the Dread Abyssal, Harkon's ship. The other vampirates' are just too gawdy, SPECIALLY Noctilus'. As for females, it has the vampire captain and I'm sure some admiral must go from time to time to report to Harkon.
>>574061271Its me as Dick Half-Mast XDDD
>>574061271Do the vampire Pirates have a necromancer option?
>>574061672no they only get vampire lords to their detriment
>>574057503It should have a lot of things. Like half the shit from 3Kingdoms
>>574060729>needs to have at least one female but can be two females.Suck my cock
>>574063176If we get Cao Cao spying, I know which faction should get it for Total War: Today Wars
>>574061210no it doesn't, the recruitment limits recharge over time it's not a hard capit's just there to stop you from building an entire army of elite huscarls in a few turns but there's nothing stopping you from slowly replacing your cheaper units with elite ones over the course of the campaign
is this bad if you are a tzeentch faction? it has been popping non-stop for me

Yin Yin bros.. it's over, it's so over, it's never been more over than it is right now...
>>574070378if DLCs keep coming out she'll eventually make it inno matter how much the chudschizo seethes about it Cathay remains one of the most popular factions in the game and their DLC sells consistently well
>>574070378Giant Maritime Life all but confirmed Yin-Yin will be in the game
>>574072171*Lift
>>574070378They literally just added a landmark that's tailor made to Yin-Yin.Though my worry is that Cathay is getting way too cramped for her to start in her actual provinces.
>>574072563It's okay Zhao Ming doesn't even start in Shang-Yang
>>574072662Which is still baffling tbqh. I mean, what does his campaign even gain from having to move one province over to get to his actual loreful home? Would make more sense if CA had him start in Shang-Yang and then his usual starting enemy occupied the province south of him.
>>574073003There's neutral rat settlement between him and the rebel lord too so AI Zhao just wastes multiple turns on the road
>>574072563>>574073003Both Zhao and Meow suffer from tzeentch sponsored rebellions at the start. Thats why.Also as Meow, taking that 1 minor settlement close to you to gift it to Zhao and get a defensive pact saves your campaign from rat infestation early.

Fighting Khorne is such a pain in the ass
There is nothing more fucking annoying than wiping out an army and then because of some bullshit like the reforged thing for chaos or the zombie thing that more than half of them come back at full fucking hp and is just outside your movement range
Yeah I think it would be better if Zhao-Ming were moved to Shang Yang.
>>574072563Yin Yin shouldn't start in Cathay, she's perfect for a Cathay faction located in some ass end corner of the world. Or even a Cathay horde faction.

I just realized that Vamp Counts are the most Evil Dead faction, which despite the name actually features evil demons and yet none of the Chaos factions really do much with concepts like possession or corruption. No demonhosts or the like.

There is no naval combat. Here we can see the Ork ship in green, the Imperial ship in yellow and in blue is the city we watched the battle of.Ships in orbit just hang out together, all battles happen on land.
>>574087995bummer
