>ghorst thread
Should I use zombies in the armies of other Lords when I play him? should I just use those over grave guards and skellies?
>>
>>575446256
One big one with Egrimm then just a bunch of one offs i guess...

By that time 40k will be full well released and underway, whatever team they have on WH3 will just dwindle down over time that splits over to 40k/Medi3
>>
>>575446426
When I played ghorst I actually just used ghouls
>why
Because I wanted to use ghouls.
>>
CA sabotaged the history titles so they'd have an excuse to move on to other things and you can't convince me otherwise. There's no tangible reason we didn't have an Empire 2 or Shogun 3 during all the time they wasted on shit like Thrones of Britannia, Troy, Pharaoh and Hyenas. They've only just started working on Medieval 3 because they realised that was a stupid fucking idea to begin with, and especially after the Hyenas incident.
>>
>>575442509
Greenskin memes are always fun, friend, and I'm glad they're in 40k from launch. For OC I like the rat edits, I miss the drawfriend that made them for each dlc back in the WH2 days. The greatest piece of OC from here is the webm of the HElf swordmaster/sisters stack getting destroyed by the single dwarf lord with one unit of irondrakes.
>>
>>575446613
CA had every reason to believe that Hyenas would be their most successful game ever. And let's be honest, they were right.
Hyenas had incredible gameplay, superb character designs and the genre was sizzling with popularity. It should have had millions of players during the beta but it didn't for no real reason. It would have had millions of players after launch but the doubters and cowards at Sega forced them to cancel it. Future generations will point to that as the worst decision in the history of the gaming industry.
>>
>>575446256
>>575446526
Game files show that there's monkey king and DoW in the works, so presumably they'll both get a shat out "reusing assets" style DLC as a way to show that "no no, we're not abandoning the game, haha"
Kind of like how Heroes of the Storm still technically had a few releases long after they removed everyone important from the game's design team, because they had some stuff in the pipe already.
>>
>>575446426
I mostly used Ghouls, but I do recall at one point having an army of graveguard and black knights. That might have been because I had confederated Mannfred.
>>
>>575446426
Regardless of your faction you should always fill out empty unit slots with zombies and honestly even recruit extra lords just to run zombie crapstacks to support your main armies

Prime was born after End Times he can't be Karl.
His real identity is irrelevant anyway, his gimick is being the 1st, prototype SCE, so powerful Sigmar's magic can't even sustian his resurection (which is why all the other ones got giga nerfed) and the hammer acts as a power source to keep him around.

>>
>Discussing age of shitmar
I'd rather discuss some third rate warhammer fantasy fanfiction. Inb4 that's exactly what you're doing.
>>
>>575483087
Majority of Stormcast are people who died during the Chaos return and after, when Sigmar was alrrady planning to make them. He had no reason to collect souls before that.
Some are people who died before Chaos invasion. Sigmar broke their souls out of the underworld during a brief conflict with Nagash after he betrayed him.
Out of those long dead Sigmar rescued only confirmed wfb era person is Ghelt and most people speculate Felix, based on Gotrek searching for him in the afterlife and realising he's missing from there.

SFO's Bretonnia rework is already out and it's great.
Short version
>Peasants have more buffs through the tech tree and through lord skills, can also have more varieties of foot knight
>Green Knight now has a skill tree that buffs the entirety of the faction, but only while he's alive, so you want to spam him as much as possible. Spamming him also unlocks an extra upgrade tree that gives him more buffs and makes him level faster, so the longer the game goes the easier it is to get his faction buffs going again
>Military buildings now have a standard path and a valorous path
>Valor you build up by completing errantries (each lord can start an errantry that is basically a quest to win several battles against a faction, it picks them based on their distance from your lord, to encourage you to travel far and go on a fucking crusade), or by having units with completed vows
>Valorous Military buildings allow you to skip a tier, as in T2 Militia building gives Tier 3 units, and Tier 4 Cav Building gives all cav units
>Valor is also used to buy the decree researches, which have all been buffed
>Also Louen can build Valor just by murdering people

I hate most of SFO but actually got a lot of mileage out of that + Victory Conditions Overhaul

>Campaign prologue and campaign epilogue are DLC

What the bumblefuck nonsense is that?

>>575481381
Famously it came out a while ago that TWW3 made gangbusters but CA moved all of the money/people to Hyenas, which is why TWW3 saw an immediate slow down and complete halt of anything being made.
After Hyenas flopped so hard that they're honestly hoping no one brings it up, they were looking at the wreckage.
Already loads of people had left the company for personal reasons (famously CA's elder management moved the company to a shitty little rural village and told everyone to either get used to playing golf all day or fuck off), for reasons relating to restructuring when Hyenas took over all production, or for reasons of the company needing to cut losses after Hyenas failed.
So they said fuck it and put most of their money into new projects, and only brought TWW3 back so they could milk it for as much as they could try, and... as it turns out a lot of people are really fucking upset about the blatant milking.

yeah the mainstream kinda split into MMOheads and MOBAheads, I played some mmos here n there in the net cafe days but never got into it its just not my genre, so got into mobage instead n didn't touch wow just league/dota 2, meanwhile played total war on and off since a kid in middle school showed me rome 1 gameplay and I still remember my first reaction to the battles w so many dudes.... was prob running on all low 640x res too, still mad at WoW for basically killing any prospect of a future new warcraft RTS, wc3 has a ridiculous amount of singleplayer content tho, replay it every 3-4 years

>Non-narrative Campaigns works like a 4x game (age of wonders/civ/etc)
>System have between 4-8 major factions and up to 40-60 minor ones, they are all picked at random, major factions might start unlanded or landed but all have their own capital ship, minor factions are npc factions that natively populate the planets
>Space Marines (second main faction is salamanders by the way, with he'stan leading it) start unlanded, their core mechanic is assisting imperial minor factions, think karl franz and the elector counts system, they gain a yet unnamed currency to upgrade their battle barge depending on the threat assessment.
>Orks and Astra Militarum are standard map painting, but orks get buffs for seeking stronger enemies, while astra militarum can vassalize imperial worlds.
>Eldar (Ulthwe and Biel-tan btw, Biel-tan lord is the character from valedor, which will get a model next year) "draw" prophecies and runes, prophecies are missions (I saw one to kill 15 imperial armies in 30 turns) and runes can modify these prophecies in order to make them more challenging (giving enemy AI buffs for example) you earn spirit stones in return and as you guess you upgrade your craftworld using it.
>Contrary to what people have been saying craftworlds can be attacked, the more runes you "plug" the more "heat" you build up, once you build enough heat you will get a craftworld invasion which is a series of battles. There are prophecies that reduce heat instead of giving spiritstones, but you can use runes to also earn spiritstones

I want to be optimistic about this game but I just know this will be a disaster, CA spent years hyping up the fucking siege rework in twwh3 which basically amounted to nothing but making it worse so there's no way in hell they can just suddenly implement all these new janky mechanics properly when they couldnt even fix sieges which is something they've had precedent for in every total war game ever.

Tzeentch barely cares about whether a plot succeeds or fails because even failure is a segue into another plot. Everything's according to his plan because he has set in motion so many plans it's impossible to step outside of them. That's not to mention the fact that Chaos is destined to win out in the end, or at least survive all of its enemies then die because there's nothing left to sustain it.

As someone who've seen a bit of Medieval 1 I'd say it's the best game in the series because it actually has Castile and Aragon instead of some "Spain" and "Portugal" and they MERGE as an in-game event. Very cool. Med2 doesn't have anything like that.

>Starts off easier than normal dwarfs and only gets easier from there as you keep unlocking ridiculously OP upgrades
>>
>>575564617
>>Starts off easier than normal dwarfs
Bruh.
Go start a Thorek campaign then come back and compare Malakai's "surrounded on all sides, can't cover every mountain pass" bs with Thorek's "what a nice and lovely straight line corridor, and good thing I buff all the early game units" early campaign.
>>
>>575564765
This, malakai is way harder earlier but way stronger later.
>>
>>575564765
That's a good point actually, I completely forgot about Thorek's Campaign after doing it once, Malakai did require me to abuse the fuck out of his super blimp, but around the time I did the vampire quest it felt like I was just bullying the AI.
>>
>>575564948
The only two dwarf campaigns that can be harder than Malakai's are Belegar for obvious reasons and maybe Thorgrim because you have to deal with Skarsnik and Gorbad sandwiching you, but even then taking down Skarsnik fast enough to avoid the sandwich of green doom is not that difficult and then you've got Ungrim protecting your north while you get to enjoy having Mount Gunbad.

Thorek is piss easy, possibly one of the easiest ones in the game and with just as many bonuses to unlock as Malakai (Skarbrand isn't even a problem for your turbobuffed quarrelers), Ungrim also has a very solid start position and can straight up solo battles by himself and any challenge that comes from it will be because you want to spam slayers and the autoresolve hates them, and Grombrindal gets some of the best buffs for the whole faction and also gets to play from a corner of the map as soon as you deal with Valkia.

Maybe Ungrim will become harder once Neferata releases.
>>
>>575565614
>Belegar
Probably why I think of Malakai as easy desu, Belegar is my go to dwarf for the longest time.
Thorgrim I also played a lot of for a while, but once I got used to how to do his defenses reliably I kind of stopped.
I also run a lot of greenskin buff mods.

I've never done Ungrim or Grombrindal now that I think about it.

True, JP audiences usually dislike excessive Gore while being way more accepting of Lewd scenarios, which is basically the opposite of Warhammer 40k despite there literally being a Degenerate Army and god in Slaanesh

There's no chance in hell Neferata could be strong enough to make that matchup difficult for fucking Ungrim.

I used to think "it's okay to get delayed, more time to polish"
But experience has taught me this is not what happens, and when a project gets delayed it doesn't end up better or more complete thanks to the extra time. All that happens is that they tread water for another month while the systemic issues which caused them to miss the deadline in the first place continue unaddressed and the game just comes out no better for the time or effort, but everyone involved is more tired, hates the project and resents the fans more.

I'd just as soon let deadlines be strict and watch the company burn if it can't meet them.

What are some fun 'migration' campaign ideas?
I had some fun a white back with Lokhir Fellheart in TWW2 abandoned Lustria and headed straight for Ulthuan. Took the Shrine of Khaine and built the landmark to give improved relations with High Elves so they didn't all hate me and dogpile me.
Did something similar with Imrik too in TWW2. Went straight for Grimgor's capital at Black Crag and took it from him within the first 10 turns. Lost my starting settlement but it was worth it to fuck over Grimgor early game.

>>575575991
It was so called because pike and shot were integrated into single formations (roughly a 2 pikes per 1 shot ratio). The front rank of a unit would be gunners that would fire as the foe advanced, then they would withdraw into the safety of the pike wall to reload. Other gunner ranks integrated into the pike formation would fire into the opposing formation at point blank as the two sides had their push of pike. Fire at close range, withdraw to reload, advance up again and fire, repeat. With several ranks of gunners doing this you had a near-constant stream of close range fire protected by the depth of the pike wall.

As the technology for guns advanced, the formation's ratio gradually shifted with less pikemen and more gunners until it was just gunners and the pikes were replaced with bayonets.

The spanish and portuguese pioneered this concept of semi-professional template armies where every unit was organized, equipped and trained to fight with this pike & shot synergy and its success led to widespread adoption throughout europe and rapid advancements in doctrine and technology that progressed directly into the era of Line Infantry and (later) Napoleonic warfare

AdMech always knew about the Void Dragon on Mars, and the reason why they're so often looking for Necron tech is due to them falling for the same biotransference trick the Necrontyr fell for.
A minor schism happens, and two sub-factions are formed that focus on Eldar and T'au tech

Lion El'Jonson, Leman Russ and Rogal Dorn return to the Imperium and meet with Gulliman (Since we all know GW can't help themselves and it will happen anyway). What should be a momentous occasion is spoiled by the fact they all quickly remember they hate each other and can't decide on a unified path forward. The Imperium balkanizes and enters a civil war akin to the Year of the Four Emperors giving Imperium factions a proper lore reason to fight each other on the tabletop/tww40k. Other factions are able to gain a bunch of territory with the Tau going from a tiny fringe threat to a genuine rival of the Imperium akin to the Sassanids.

I highly suspect the "its a parody" crowd are oldfags and/or people somewhat ashamed of being interested in it. Kinda like comic book readers

The original Raven Guard were two halves; the extremely savage and brutal Terran born and the ones that came after but before reuniting with Corvus Corax; the latter were more similar to the Raptors and were scorned by their fellow Astartes.

Funnily enough when Corvux joined his legion he exiled all of the savage Terran born to the edge of the known galaxy and meshed really well with the conventional, stealthy specops RG.

Abhuman at best, and thus persecuted to some extent. Whether they're killed or not largely depends on how common the mutation is. If some kid is just born like that on a planet full of humans they're probably smothered to death or left out in the woods somewhere. On a planet where people have had that mutation since the Great Crusade it'll just be tolerated but probably restricted from leaving the planet. The catpeople have been consigned to a single planet and their regiments are very rarely fielded.

Works a little different in 40k. The Emperor was doing legitimate harm to the chaos gods by pushing the antitheistic Imperial Truth on the galaxy. In fact, this was so dangerous they call him "The Anathema." Without races like Eldar or Humanity feeding them they rapidly wane in power. On paper the Warp could return to its Pre-Fall-Of-The-Eldar state of relative placidity if humanity could break free of the extinction war it's waging on itself.

Always has been that way. Genestealers were among the first vanguard organisms to reach our galaxy. It's just that the Imperium's psychotic xenophobia either nipped the problem in the bud or the cults grew big enough to actually attract Tyranids to kill everyone.

The new lore is where things get interesting though. Now that there's multiple hive fleets, splinter fleets, and even dead fleets the cults get bigger and their gods either never show up or aren't the same geneline as their Patriarch. If they're big enough they can capture entire worlds and then get bigger plans, or even fight off the Tyranids that show up.

The Hive Mind is experimenting with keeping cults alive to infect new worlds as a group.

They're a young race of hyper-utilitarian aliens that base their society around a caste system and incorporate other species into their society. They present a philosophy centering around the Greater Good which tends to mean their client species live pretty well. Humans living in Tau space have it really good compared to living on an Imperial Hive World.

They do have their more sinister side, but that expresses itself very rarely in the lore and people like to gas up the faction as being the good guys which stands in opposition to the grimdark tone of the setting.

When they released, they were perceived as too morally good for the grimdarkness of the 41st millennium, so they got Bretonnia'd. Though thankfully nowhere near as hard, Bretonnia by the end wasn't just bad, it was downright impossible for it to actually exist and prosper. Now the Tau leadership is implied to do shady government business behind the scenes and possibly do some mind control, indoctrination and in the most extreme cases sterilization shit to keep dissenters under control, but like... every other faction would fucking kill them or blow up their planets outright, so even at their worst they're still markedly better for the common citizen than every other faction would be.

They're usually hated by *those* kinds of Imperium fans, since the Tau are the one faction that humans in lore defect to without it being some horrible monstrous faction that will turn you into Killgore Slaymaim for daring to not agree with the Imperial Creed, and that drive them up a fucking wall. That and space marinefags got butthurt that Tau weapons kill their precious super elite soldiers like a knife cutting through butter. Some anon in another thread correctly pointed out that SMfags are super butthurt because Tau-centric novels treat space marines the same way SM-centric novels treat every other faction.

This is a good post but the Farsight Enclaves should also probably be mentioned. Farsight is one of the greatest heroes the Tau ever had but he defected after encountering Chaos and realizing the Ethereals were corrupt. The space he occupied is pretty much a hands-off confederation of various Tau and non-Tau species. Farsight himself has survived hundreds of years because he found a sword that eats the life force of the things he kills with it. He's basically Big Boss but blue.

It's funny how many people miss the fact that before the Great Crusade it was outright stated that humans worked with a lot of aliens, but almost every time, as soon as things got bad/dangerous, the aliens threw the humans under the bus, which is part of what inspired the Emperor to say "Humanity needs to be strong enough to not let this happen".

Also I vaguely recall there being a thing about how the humans in the tau empire were accidentally causing daemons to appear because human spirituality is so strong that even in small populations it causes warp disturbances that the tau don't know how to deal with.

And it's a damn shame Farsight will never get proper support.

It's not a universal though, because the Imperium HAS found xenos species that were reasonable and didn't want to do them harm. It's just that every time, it's been sabotaged, with the biggest and most decisive example being the Interex, which Erebus made sure would start a war against the Imperium through covert sabotage of a diplomatic relationship that was actually going just fine. That was the moment when humanity decided for good to never coexist with xenos. From then on, every xenos species that could actually be coexisted with has been attacked preemptively, or if by pure chance the humans that make first contact with them actually negotiate first, then arrives the Inquisition and puts a stop to it.

That doesn't mean that shit like orks, tyranids, dark eldar, etc. don't absolutely justify a "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude towards strange xenos, but the point has always been that the Imperium makes things worse by taking everything to absolutely retarded extremes. Just like how they literally would have less people falling to Chaos if they didn't give them every reason to.

Society of Kinebranch Arachnids Interex and Non-frozen

While the great Crusade tried to irredicate the Interex, one System survived by nuking themselves with a unknown Kinebranch bomb while many different Groups of Space Marines were attackint
Instead of killing them, they were drawn outside time and death, being immortal but unable to return to real space.
Yadada, they allianced all refugee and space marines and return now to real space.

Uniqueness:
Like the Volton they clone themselves as needed, but unlike the Volton they don't give a shit.
Besides the elites (rare choices) and leadership they just clone entire groups.
Need to build a new city? clone a race of constructor and let them build it.
Award 5 out of 10k with life, the rest get another chance somewhere else (blammed!).
Humans are still the forefront race but you have Lizards, ratpeople and arachnids, each for single uses.
Mechanically you have a mass army, with specialized masses.
This is a tough mass, this is the ranged mass, this is the mobile mass.
Like old Eldar mixed with tyrandis.

>squat a race
Easy would be Imperial Knights (just put them into Imperial Agent) or Daemon of Chaos.
I play them but easiest to kill.

>Change a fact:
Splinter the empire into 4 areas.
Imperium of Man, around Terra, still old culture and people. Ultramar, Terra and Mars.
Imperium Secundus, allied with but getting stranger. Has allies with renegades and rarely eldar-xenos. Lead by Lion El, and Dante.
Imperius Nihil, lead by the Khan and Huron Blackheart. Very Xeno friendly, allied with the above new factions, dark eldar and Exodites.
100 Imperiums, splintered from the imperiun of man. Solo state like Deliveance and such.

If I remember right the Tau have a more practical view of daemons as extradimensional aliens. They are, rightfully, more academic in their understanding which may actually be to their detriment in this case because Chaos is beyond reason.

>That doesn't mean that shit like orks, tyranids, dark eldar, etc. don't absolutely justify a "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude towards strange xenos, but the point has always been that the Imperium makes things worse by taking everything to absolutely retarded extremes. Just like how they literally would have less people falling to Chaos if they didn't give them every reason to.
Well that's the trouble, isn't it? Galaxy-wide war fuels the disparity and the low value in human life. Xenocults, Chaos, etc. have every reason to prey on this which fuels even more hatred and paranoia. Vicious never-ending cycle.

It is funny out of context. That child is near-human which makes if fourth generation. If it grows up and has children the firstborn will be a Purestrain Genestealer that can form a new cult and become a Patriarch. That child could go anywhere and be an existentially dangerous threat just by living its life like a normal person.

>Also I vaguely recall there being a thing about how the humans in the tau empire were accidentally causing daemons to appear because human spirituality is so strong that even in small populations it causes warp disturbances that the tau don't know how to deal with.
It was during the Fourth Sphere of Expansion, when for the first time the Tau sent a fleet into the warp after thinking they had figured it out, but didn't know what the fuck a proper gellar field is. So shit got crazy, and since the tau themselves (the species) have almost no imprint in the warp and no psychic potential, the demonic possessions and crazy shit happened to the auxiliaries, which freaked the present Tau the fuck out. But who also by desperately trying to believe in the Greater Good as a way to cope, accidentally created a mayor warp entity, the goddess (maybe) of the Greater Good, Tau'va, who seems to actually be a benevolent entity who saved them and pulled them back into real space.

The Tau present got super traumatized by it though and purged the surviving auxiliaries and turned racist, so Fourth Sphere Tau are kind of infamous in the rest of the empire because they ruin the whole coexistence and integration deal. The ethereals themselves are also kind of freaked about the creation of a Greater Good "goddess" that now seems to exist in the Warp presumably guarding the Tau empire.

The Paths are restrictive as fuck dude, even more than the Tau castes. Not for anything are there eldar who willingly become rangers and fuck right off because it can become unbearable, and then you've got the risk of instead losing yourself in the path and then you become a borderline authomaton.

Honestly the exodites and harlequins do it far better.

Gotta give it to Owlcat, it was a pretty ballsy move to canonize dark eldar x human relationships as being possible.

Kinda pussied out hard on craftworld eldar though, that Yrliet shit was lame as hell.
>>
The Tau are just what Impfags pretend the Imperium is: everything evil they do is a rational, necessary evil to secure their own survival. If the Tau didn't expand, conquer and subjugate other worlds they be dead. The other races in the Tau Empire would be dead too, because if they can't hold off a Tau invasion they certainly can't handle Tyranids or an Imperial invasion fleet. And if they didn't use authoritarian measures their multi-species society would fall apart in a week. The Tau are being exactly as nice as possible in the 40k universe without being a corpse.

The vast, vast majority of such relationships are a male Dark Eldar raping a male Human in order to make them suffer.

But not always succeeded. It's a gamble.

You can get a life insurance at a friendly Haemonculi Coven though. Those guys can revive you, for better or worse, even if you are long dead. They just need to cause enough pain and suffering to force Slaanesh to vomit your soul out, preferably by sacrificing a particularly innocent and good soul.

Anyway, good talk, but talking about 40k just makes me impatient for the game, and talking about Tau in particular makes me even more impatient because we don't even know how high of a priority they are as DLC. I'm going back to the Total War we do have.

I'm most hype about Neferata.
Then Thanquol.
I like the Empire so more units for them are always good, but honestly I don't care that much for Toddy or Middenland so it's pretty much just "Sure, I guess".
Don't care for Glottkin, don't care for monogod-but-placed-in-the-WoC-faction factions in general, but the Blightkings looked fucking sick and cool for my proper Nurgle faction campaigns.
I'm worried that Nagash might somehow mold the entire game to be about him if he's TOO op, so I'm not super excited about him or the broader campaign scenarios. More cautious than hype, really.

Pacifist Byzantine challenge in VH/VH M2TW

Playing historical Byzantine for being a pacifist instead of killing neighbors early on like all existing guides do.
Challenge:
Win the game without having a formal war with normal factions in Very Hard Campaigns/Very Hard Battles.
Lose:
Having an official war with normal factions. Defensive also counts.

I offer trade rights, map information, and regular tributes to everyone. No alliance because they will drag me to war.

Eventually rebel settlements will run out, so I used maximum priests and spies to incite revolt in expansionist factions (Sicily, Milan, Portugal, and England) before conquering their rebellions. I use Assassin only for heretics.

Early on, my princess ship directly went to Corinth's sea to intercept Sicilian aggression and do diplomacy with Sicily, even skipping Venice.

Port is my highest priority because of so much money. But AI loves blockading my port so much. So I put a ship to defend my non-Black Sea ports and scare them away.


Building priority in Castle:
1. Port.
2. Upgrading the Castle.
3. Convert to a large town (train all Vardariotai before).

Building Priority in Cities:
1. Port (the first tier only): Best early money.
2. Health building (town hall, city hall, sanitation): Diplomats. Also reduce squalor growth/best late money.
3. Upgrading town: more health buildings.
4. Grain exchange: Merchant.
5. Church (first tier only): Priest.
6. Brothel: Spy.
7. Merchant's wharf (The first tier only): money.
8. Wall/city watch: Militia, free upkeep.
9. Farm (max tier).
10. higher-tier wharf, roads, and higher-tier market.

exception on Constantinople:
1. Health building
2. Cathedral series (theologian guild)
3. Great Market Series (market guild)
4. University
5. Brothel series (thieves guild)

is this possible?
what do you think?
