>>576421860based
>>576421860What will Valarak's "Legend career ending crashout" be?
>>576423070Nothing.He isn't mentally ill.
>>576423070He is happy as fuck so hes nothing like legendAnd also, hes a tabletop youtuber first
>>576423070Legend hated his fanbase and his streamer job, Valrak loves both.
>>576423070Can't imagine anythingHe is blacklisted by GW already for constantly leaking all their projects (including non mini ones like TW40K, DoW1 remaster and DoW4), but doesn't careHe is happy and sane, doesn't seem to have depression like LegendAnd even helps other, non warhammer, wargames by showcasing them
playing the pope in m3 will be like playing tzeentch in wh3
>>576423070Valrak is a cheeky british lad who enjoys self deprecating humour so he is immune to the things most sloptubers crash out over
>>576423070Far as I've seen of this Valrak, he seems to, you know... actually genuinely like what he's doing and doing it because it's what he enjoys and making a living from it is just a happy consequence. So he won't have one.Speaking of which, we already have plenty of TW youtubers who are most definitely enjoying being a TW youtuber and don't have barely concealed disdain for their own viewerbases, so why the fuck did Legend get so big? I never could stomach him, nor the way he played the game.
>>576419491What if it's the reverse and the fish people make people sane instead?
>>576427387that sounds like what a fishman would say
Life feels empty. Only lotet will save me..
do we have any info on how 40k melee will be handled?
Now that the dust has settled
>>576427696nope, nothing yet
>>576427696a blob will touch another blobjust like the fantasy games, 1 on 1 duel animations will be cool at first, later begin to bug out with new additions, and be quietly pared away
>>576417896Piscean Warriors soon
>>576428706Cool Idoneth Deepkin
>>576427056Because he was "based" for speaking the "truth" about CA.Like volound, but much less unlikable
I'm just happy sega didn't actually murder ca and we get more gameswhat a strange period of time.
>>576427696I noticed one thing tho, the models don't seem to blob much into eachother (in the later gameplay that was taken in a more recent build).And they also seem to focus on enveloping the unit, going as far as running to the back of the enemy unitGamescom will have better footage of the newer build, but I hope they unblobbed the melee combat
Legend of Total War evolved into Legend of Gardening, he's too cool for us now
The new CHAOS line is very cool...

How do you deal with wanting to expand in one direction, but a faction on the opposite side declares war on you?
>>576429321Mirin' those knights and warriors.The marauders... eh.
>>576429674more armies
>>576429674Well you deal with the obvious threat at handunless you want to challenge yourself, then you just fucking split your stacks
>>576429674emergency shitter + ror stack takes a piece of their landsell it back for peacekeep a seething hatred ready for the back stabber after
>unspottable What does this do?
you become transparent and unable to be seen by enemy units
>>576432284Stalk but betterGotta be almost right on top of the unit to reveal it
>>576427646You sound grim.Grave, even.
The tigerman DLC coincided almost exactly with a free weekend so it's impossible to say how much player numbers actually increased due to the DLC.
>>576427387>IM GOING SANEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>576416883Is this a brand new Geabull kino ? Answer me!
>>576416883What does that womb tattoo mean?
>>576448316and then you fags try to deny 40k is slowing down tww3
>>576416883So, uhh, ahem, which Helf LL specializes into Swordmasters?
Clio is making it happen. The big Total War collab is coming together.
which way white man?
>>576449167Left or down. 3 are pointing each way.
>>576449167The eastern way.
>>576449167I'll take whichever lore has:>One low cost spammable damage spell to use on small clusters of infantry.>One big damage spell to use on big clusters of infantry.>An aoe buff/debuff to help big melee clusterfucks win.>OPTIONAL BUT COOL: heals, wind spell for tidy straight frontlines, direct damage against single entities and elites, a long range missile.
>>576449167Your Dawi Runes
>>576450848What absolute slaanesh fanboi created those?Pleasure, excess, gluttony, wealth, desire, pride, ambition.. and partly joy and jubilation.. That's all Slaanesh.
>>576451454What about war?
>>576449167Fire, always fire.
>>576452224War is Khorne tho one could argue war is all the chaos gods.
40k will save this place. 40k will destroy this place.
>>576448814I expect 40k next year given the pace they're at. Could even be summer or something. Dubious spring but it's possible. Honestly I can see WH3 being 'the future of' to a degree. I expected an Archaon end calamity but they're folding that into this DLC instead of having it be separate. What's left is relatively light. You can pad it out, make up stuff for Cathay, but if we are not at the end you can see the end from here.>>576429321I wish we'd get their norscans. They look like proper chaos marauders not people who lost their way to the leather club.
>>576452875My prediction is that once ET releases they dont do big dlcs anymore, they will release monkey king, li dao, egrimm and bretonnia rework and see what it goes from there, I suppose they will leave an skeleton crew to release character packs every 3 months or so
Anon was a liar liar pants on fire. Rogue trader is buggy as all hell.I just hope the dialogues aren't too important cause I can't be assed to read all of that. I just click through.Mm..I like how stupid the NPCs are. I boarded some space station to get a navigator and there was this weird lady and 2 dudes fighting over her. I got so fucking pissed off by all their talking I went>this conversation is over, hand over the bottle caps *VATS noise*..killed both of em and she was screeching like>ahhh you a monster don't touch meand after a loading she was sucking my dick>omg you my savior thank uLike.. I think I killed ur people and ur dad or whatever but aight.
W40k will flop, CA will go bankrupt and in the final stream basedtek will bring a chained grace on stream and rape her live on top of legend’s sudoku’d corpseScreencap this

>passtroon is illiterate
>>57641789640k has you covered
will Grand Cathay get more dlc?
>>576465304MONKE KANG
>>576465186that's a fishwoman also she's a scratcher, digs her claws in when she orgasms.this is canon in warhammer 40k by the way, in her game she'll actually apologise for it
>>576465186that's the retard npc I was yappin about earlier!
>>576466291More like sheltered. But either way, she's one of the strongest characters in the game. I hope you enjoy Rogue Trader. I didn't find it too buggyBut if you dislike >text text textThen you are going to have a bad time with a crpg
>>576466969I guess I can use her to replace the psyker I start with cause that one sucks ass.. she and my main character just stand afk in every battle. The tank dudes does everything by himself and the sister sometimes kills something I guess.Had it countless times where during little animation sequences bodies would just twitch around randomly so the game locked itself, waiting for the NPC to reach his destination for the sequence to play out but it never did.No, I love RPGs. I mean, I played fallouts countless times, Divinity 2 is like one of my fav games ever, Gothic 2 and 3 were my childhood, played Mass Effect a trillion times.. and more. This game just has the Balding Gate 3 sickness of dialogue so fucking long that I stop caring. But it's not AS BAD as bg3.. in that game, me and my mate legit threw a coin and the loser had to do the talking for the day while the other played phone games.. longest talking session I once had there was 2 fucking hours nonstop. That game is 0/10.The whole >run around this enormous ship and talk to 20 people who all have 2000 things to sayreally got on my nerves. That was too much.
>>576466969I refused to run cassia on my 2nd and 3rd runs because i find her too overpoweredGame was still a cakewalk, only hard fight in the entire game is Aurora and only in the highest difficultiesRogue trader combat/encounter design is pretty dogshit, almost as bad as it was in the pathfinder games.
>>576467694lel, I can't imagine playing BG3 co-op for the reason you describe with the dialogue You get a lot of people to talk to in the beginning, but they will run out of things to talk about pretty quickly. It's like WOTR when you get to the city, suddenly you have a lot of people to talk about, but beyond the initial stuff they don't have much to say. Some will obviously get more stuff to say as the story progresses but it's gradual >>576467726I guess. I found it pretty hard to wrap my head around the talents in RT, you get so many level ups so the talents are so minor increases in power, but they add up. I ended up very powerful, but unlike Pathfinder I felt very lost in that regard. Also hard to compare weapon types to each other, and how effective they areI think all companions get pretty powerful, but Cassia is definitely the easiest one to find a good use for. Especially early on. She was such a crutch for me
>>576466969Why are you engaging with the retarded passfag to talk about an off topic game in /twg/
loli footjobs
>>576468568I pissed off the priest and now he refuses to talk to me.. ...and I forgot where to find injuries. I found the window yesterday.
>>576468568I agree on the talents but most of the power in the game comes from the items and playing the momentum game, once you get the first heroic act out you pretty much win the gameIt's also very easy to build quadrillion dodge tanks who never take any damageTotal War: Troy
Total war?
>>576429321Soulless AI slop looking garbage.Give me classic WoC and classic marauders any day.
speaking of Total War: why do people hate Troy's version of Helen so much?I thought she looked better than the movie versions but maybe that's just me
>>576469980they are not true adult women connoisseurs
>>576416883>>576417968No, it can't be. This is a trick. You're trying to fool me.
>>576469980Normies think that characters wearing context appropiate fits is "cringe".Same reason why everyone in "historical" movies is wearing gray/brown leather clothing
>>576469980I don't think anybody really liked anything about Troy
New rumour engineWTF IS THIS?
>>576473207that's just thanquol, boris, nagash and whoever the nurgle lord is
>>576469980cuz normies are tasteless fucking faggots
m2ex just got a new render test update, the new lighting seems much better now
>>576473319Glottkin
>no korn unitsnyoooo... wryuuuuuu
Bretonnia rework soon?
>>576474636You got that in SFO bro... That's enough..
>>576417731Same. My disappointment is immeasurable.
I finally searched the archives. This nigga be crazy

>>576475830
>>576472431I liked it.>>576469980>black Helen in a golden dress>better than Troys HelenI hate normies so much it's unreal.
I can't enjoy historical total wars any more there's literally no strategy and the battles are way less visually interesting than warhammer. The bing bing wahoos have cooked my brain
>>576475773whats so funny about this? armored slayers? so what
>>576476141Slayers aren't supposed to wear armour, like, at all.
>>576476141It's a 40k thing
>>576476003there is literally more strategy than in warhammer, because instead of whichever strongest units goes into a blob and presses a press you have hammer and anvil, elevation and flanking actually mattering and so on, what are u on? I like warhammer but its got the least strategy of any TW game, it's all just the spectacle and larp of seeing ur dudes crash
>>57647600340k is shaping up to be even more strategically vacuous because they're doubling down on the spectacle which is fine because it's 40k, your last hope is Med 3.
>>576476003>literally no strategyBut enough about Warhammer
>>576476253oh and formations, which alone add way more depth to battles, and basically don't exist in warhammer sadlyfor some mysterious reason
>>576472431I played Troy because I liked it! Hell I loved it! I'm just itching I'm I'm I'm itching to play it again. And you think what? you think you're gonna send me to a nuthouse? some doctor they're gonna get me to stop me from doing what I wanna do? Well that ain't happening! Not on my watch!
>im getting attacked!!! what do I do!!>oh just press the super mega orbital strike bro
>im getting attacked!!! what do I do!!>oh just press the super mega naval strike bro
>>576476508>5 minute cooldown>limited uses per battle>can't even destroy a stompaI don't see the issue, also that's no different from Magic in WH3
>>576476480Agamemnon chill
>>576476508This kind of thing has existed since Shogun 2
>>576476508The difference in UI, damn. Consolification...
>>576476480>>576476609i watched odyssey and it was kino nolan did it again so I kinda wanna play troy now, might buy it when my wolt paycheck comes in
>>576476508when they used this in the demonstration battles it kills maybe two or three units of chaff infantry or you focus it on a high tier SEM to almost kill it then it goes on cooldown for five minutesand that was the strongest artillery strikeso they don't actually do muchunlike the fall of the samurai artillery that will wipe out significant portions of entire armies at a time but it's ok when historical games do it
>>576476393>>576476253>>576476336That's what I meant. Neither warhammer or historical have much strategy but at least warhammer has units that arent spearmaniii versus spearmaniii
>>576476609the fuck did Nolan do to Menelaus?
>>576476802but historical have way more stategy than warhammer, most WH battles are purely stat checks and single entity units shit on the balance completely nor can the AI properly use powerful single entity units like LLs >>576476805he's the punisher dudehis acting was great imo, i hate helen so i don't care if she's an ugly negress in the movie, frank castle roasts her hard one scene and its so funny, smth like "the face that launched a thousand ships, well maybe it can manage 500 now"
>>576476805*rubs head*Eyy rigg
>>576476918>most WH battles are purely stat checksMaybe you didn't actually play historical titles that much but you can actually stat check your way through most battles by using high tier units like dismounted knights or praetorians or cataphracts etc.The entire new world part of medieval 2 is just stat checking dogshit aztec infantry with actually good european units while none of the AI nations figure out how to send anyone over.
>>576476805>>576469980Is there an Odysseus version?
>>576477326i don't think you know what people are talking about when they complain about statcheckswhen you're outmatched in med 2, ranged placement and hammer n anvil decides the battlewhen you're outmatched in warhammer, you sned your 1 entity lord or even worse, hero, to tank 5 squads at once and blob em up while they deal chip dmg entity by entity and ur lord or mage spam spells into the blob, and in med2 if you play battles like you would in melee heavy factions in warhammer, you will lose a ton of units, and unlike WH replenishment isn't easy, specially not with elite units one requires more strategy than the other and feels more like a war game
>>576477597That's not a complaint about statchecks, that's a complaint about single entities.You do not know the meanings of the words you're using.
>>576477365don't think so, but he did make Batgamemnon
Is it even possible to cause a chain rout in Warhammer? Especially these days where it seems every fucking unit can become immune to leadership debuffs in some way.
>>576477692more than half the warhammer factions are melee blob factions, the thing that decides the outcome of those battles is whichever side has better stats, and you don't care how many units you lose because you have instant replenishment and ur back to full strength within 2 turns at most, that's statcheck gameplayeven in ur med 2 example if u throw away ur elite melee inf by using em to hammer through their inf you won't be able to replenish them easily, so yeah there's more strategy involved
>>576417151>Thanquol soon-soon, friend-foes!
>>576477692>>576477798btw no fucking shit if u bring super heavy inf against light inf the super heavy will win even if u don't do anything, that's not the point, point is in warhammer you can rely solely on statchecks to win, you can't do that in most older titles, especially ones with pre-rome 2 style global replenishment my main complaint is warhammer is too fast paced and arcade-y, you should never be able to meet half ur long victory conditions within 50 turns, but that's how it is cause they catered to that playerbase
>>576477798>the thing that decides the outcome of those battles is whichever side has better statsYou have to be genuinely terrible at total war warhammer to think unit stats are the deciding factor in whether you win a battle or not.>>576477952>point is in warhammer you can rely solely on statchecks to win, you can't do that in most older titlesYou absolutely can, parthian cataphracts in rome are disgustingly powerful and will effortlessly sweep anything besides scythed chariots.>btw no fucking shit if u bring super heavy inf against light inf the super heavy will win even if u don't do anything, that's not the pointThat's allowing you to win most battles through stat checks because the AI is horrible at recruiting decent armies just as much back then as it is now.
>Play BretonniaWoo charging man on horsey smash through enemy and then goes through the enemy to do it again!>Play OgresI either curbstomp the enemy in a single charge or half of my ogres are dead after every fight and I spend the next year replenishingWhat the fuck am I doing wrong?
>>576478184>parthian cataphractsyou are comparing powering through battles with a doomstack of tier 5 expensive as fuck units to a stack of some shit like chaos warriors which a lot of factions get at turn 1, khorne gameplay is right clicking with melee blobs to win any battle u come across, that's nothing short of a statcheck that you win because chaos melee is OP, how disingenious can you get?
>>576478184>>576478336also I know there's exceptions, and my favorite factions in warhammer happen to be ones like bretonnia/empire which need more stategy than most, but chaos factions which are like half the cast are just pure braindead statcheck gameplay elves also have cheap easily accessible ranged doomstacks that you can right click ONCE and win almost any battle, I know that you can cheese the AI in literally any TW game, but the balance in warhammer in particular is completely retarded
>>576478459and nevermind if you happen to get a max lvl skarbrand or tamurkhanjust try losing a battle with that, try, you have to have ur hands chopped off to lose a battle with lvl 50 tamurkhan best thing about 40k is moving away from OP single entity bullshit and bringing back honor guards so generals behave more in line with the armies' as they should
>>576478336>you are comparing powering through battles with a doomstack of tier 5 expensive as fuck unitsYou don't need a doomstack of them, like 6 parthian cataphracts will be able to rout most full stacks you ever encounter in an entire campaign with ease.>khorne gameplay is right clicking with melee blobs to win any battle u come acrossSome factions are easier than others.>how disingenious can you getDisingenuous is pointing to the easiest, most simple to play factions and saying the entire game plays like that.
>>576478826enough of the game does, and they are catering to hand crushed chaos shit more and more with every patch, end times will be nothing but chaos wank as you knowit all comes down to whether you enjoy using your army or using your heroes, and WH is hero centric you can't deny this, its why you can't lose in 5 hero stack armies, it's why tamurkhan is an unkillable rape machine because the AI on any difficulty has no idea that it has to focus him with gun lines or whatever, I don't wanna play MOBA-lites in total war, I want the army to do 90% of the work not the general and heroes >just use mods or somethingye I do, just sayin this is a criticism of base WHthat guy saying warhammer has more strategy than hist titles was RETARDED
>>576423070Heart attack
I love the High Elves but couldn't care less about the eldarthey always came off and whining crybabies, and guns that shoot ninja stars is a pretty retarded concept to begin with
>>576477749LL for this feel?
>>576476614Shogun 2 has orbital strike?
>>576479756better https://youtu.be/R86CU7JCoIs
>>576478965>that guy saying warhammer has more strategy than hist titles was RETARDEDIf you accept any nuance then it does depending on how you play the game.All total war games are extremely simple if you only play in the most optimal way possible.All strategic difficulty in any total war game comes from AI with infinite money cheats focusing the player unrealistically and just overwhelming the player through the number of fronts and nations attacking him at once, this was primarily the case in shogun 2 onward.All of the tactical difficulty in total war comes from the aforementioned infinite money cheats the AI gets allowing it to bring multiple stacks per every one the player can field to every battle, but the AI has always been tactically incompetent, making these visually overwhelming tactical scenarios quite winnable.Playing total war warhammer pits you against these strategic and tactical problems, but the AI will be able to do more against you in total war warhammer than conventional historical titles.You don't need to plan around fighting flying units in historical titles, nor SEMs, nor dangerous heroes and lords, nor summons and magic. These are things unique to total war warhammer that present small points of potential tactical depth that can be present in total war warhammer's battles but not a historical title's battles. You're going to be facing all the potential threats of a historical battle on top of these at the same time. The AI can show up with level 50 skarbrand and 10 LL defeat traits and extremely good gear just as you can.
>>576479654Agamemnon?he's a LL in Troy
>>576476687Don't forget to get Mythos DLC.Also Memnon and Rhesus are a fun change from endless Greeks on Hittites violence.
>>576479839it's easier for the AI to deal with a stack with 6 cataphracts than it is for a lvl 50 unit that kills a squad within 30 seconds, takes no dmg, and even heals, and has magic on top of thattry facing a pike heavy stack with those catapgracts, yes it's extremely strong but it's nothing compared to warhammer, there's nuance in all things >you don't NEED to use these thingsyeah no shit, but they're there, and you're supposed to judge a game's balance by the tools you're given, singleplayer or not, players will be pulled to use the path of least resistance, so that argument is retarded, you may as well add cheats to the game, just add a "win battle" button, you don't HAVE to use it, y'know? just ignore it
>>576479859And Batagamemnon?
>>576479571Other way around for me, not a fan of any of the elves in FantasyBut the Eldars and DEldars in 40k?I COOM
>>576479973>it's easier for the AI to deal with a stack with 6 cataphracts than it is for a lvl 50 unit that kills a squad within 30 seconds, takes no dmg, and even heals, and has magic on top of thatThe AI cannot deal with a good enough player at all in any game.>try facing a pike heavy stack with those catapgractsA trivial proposal because pikemen are slow in formation and the AI is horrible at target prioritization so rear charging them and instantly routing entire units for next to no losses is not difficult.>yeah no shit, but they're there, and you're supposed to judge a game's balance by the tools you're givenAnd you are given the tools in every total war game to trivialize it strategically and tactically on the hardest difficulties.
>>576479796>Those physicsKiiiinoooooo
>>576479973btw this is why I generally support unit caps in WH, or really almost any TW, because everybody stacking doomstacks leads to unsatisfying battles, but try explaining that to the avg WH player even itt, they just want a sandbox where they can do whatever they want with 0 restrictions, just put 20 tamurkhans in a stack for these niggas and they'll enjoy the rideonly one LL in an army? why are u artifically capping my fun bro?? we all know how the avg itt feels about unit caps, and how they're incapable of grasping why it can be a good thing, really these dudes need to play totally accurate battle sim tho
>>576476685The UI does look pretty soulless.
>>576479796So did CA just forget how to do particle effects and volumetric smoke like this?
>>576480202>And you are given the tools in every total war game to trivialize it strategically and tacticallysome more than otherstry doing those kinda strats early in attila when you're fucked from a billion hordes running around europe, yeah its doable, but its way harder and more annoying, not as effortless as playing chaos factions or smth in WH, actually attila makes it TOO hard, which I don't rly like, but its not like it can't be done in a TW game, compared to warhammer where u go VH/VH and if using a handheld faction just rape the map effortlessly within a few hours
>>576480343I think most devs just forgot how to do basic shit desu
>>576480343I think they could focus on details like that way more in shogun 2 due to the limited unit roster, the game has the most satisfying battle animations and aesthethics of any TW game for a reason, tradeoffs... (pic rel is on my old PC though, I really should try shogun 2 now on 1440p with max settings)
chaos slop
>>576480343Shogun 2 actually still runs horrendously with a lot of fires happening at once even on high end modern hardware.
>just use heroes instead of infantry as front lineI never do this because I don't want my heroes to die, which is what always seemed to happen on the few occasions when I tried it.
BIG PENIS
>>576480361This argument highlights that complaining about some total war games being too easy is bullshit in the first place because every total war game is only ever hard because the AI cheats and focuses the player specifically.The AI never uses units or resources intelligently, it just floods you with stacks and occasionally puts you into a bad spot like a room of monkeys on typewriters.Total war difficulty is artificial difficulty and it always has been, some being easier or harder than others does not matter as long as the AI can only challenge you by cheating and ganging up on you.

>>576479571I am an Eldar sexoposting enjoyer, and some of the Eldar troops look kind of cool; especially the ones with the crested helmets and wings, but the High Elves overall just seem cooler. I feel pretty much the same way about fantasy compared to 40K in general.
>>576480924the way you balance total war is economy, no shit, and the economy in attila is horrendous, which is what makes it so damn hard, the economy in most games is very easy, there's a balance u gotta strike, but this comes back to my complaint of WH being too fast paced, how the fuck do most campaigns start you off with tier 4 units in ur army? it's ridiculous, 0 sense of progressioni never said the difficulty wasn't "artificial", but still, there is more strategy in how you use your armies in hist than there is in fantasy, its simple as that, that was the whole point
>>576449167Whichever lore has the best passive for my current army composition.
>>576480658it depends on the hero and usually u 100% need some equipment on emget good equipment and a few levels on em and they can replace inf as frontline, WHICH IS COMPLETELY RETARDED if you ask me... can't wait for less of this shit in 40k
>>576481214>the way you balance total war is economy, no shitThat's a generous way to say "how much the AI cheats and dogpiles you".The strategy doesn't matter if the AI doesn't use strategy, it just cheats.
>>576481390>The strategy doesn't matter if the AI doesn't use strategy, it just cheats.you use more stategy in some games than others to overcome the AI cheats, i never said u can't cheese any TW game to the point of triviality, u can, but they all require suspension of disbelieffor me warhammer requires the most suspension of disbelief by far, because of the ammount of easily accessible broken shit, like i can never have fun in a khorne campaign no matter how cool it looks for bloodletters n chaos trannies to slaughter all the enemies, cause I feel like I didn't even do anything in the battles its hard to feel like that much in the older games, maybe with a full horse archer stack or something, doomstack of heavy horse archers is just retarded, but it is the final form of some factions ig

>>576469980>why do people hate Troy's version of Helen so much?I liked her look, if that's what you're asking, what annoyed the fuck out of me was the trailer showing Helen being deeply in love with Paris and passionately trying to argue how she should stay in Troy.Objectively, acting like Helen was the one who wanted to be there is just projecting Romeo and Juliet onto the war of Troy, and personally, I think the scenario where Helen was kidnapped because you just simply can't say not to a goddess is much, much more likely. What we know for sure is that Helen by the end years of the war fucking DESPISED Paris and wanted to go back, whether it was a change of opinion or what she had felt all along, portraying her like that initially always makes me think it's the modern shipper community invading an ancient mythos.
>>576479895yeah gonna go for all DLC I guess, gonna try playing Troy for a change though, they're much cooler than the Greeks imo
>>576481625The AI in medieval 2 and rome are completely incapable of fighting a player that can micro a few units of good heavy cavalry so if your faction has access to those you can win with minimal strategy and only the tactic of "just rear charge them". And almost every faction in medieval 2 has access to good heavy cavalry.I do not care for complaints that amount to "this game isn't artificially difficult enough for me". Artificial difficulty is shit, every total war game has relied on it, every total war game allowed most factions to roll it anyway if you played optimally enough, it doesn't matter.
>>576482071AI cheats in 100% of strategy games, all difficulty in them is "artificial", get used to it, none of that means that WH gameplay isn't less braindead than med 2/rome 2 because it is, you have way more OP tools at your disposal to shit on the AI, even with a full heavy cav stack its possible to lose in medieval 2 when up against 2 strong stacks, with a lvl 50 tamurkhan with gear u can't lose in wh3

>>576482378>AI cheats in 100% of strategy gamesI know for a fact starcraft 2 skirmish AI plays fairly on difficulties below what is explicitly cheater difficulties. Most RTS games for decades in fact don't give the AI anything beyond no fog of war, which is significantly less than infinite resources and doesn't even feel like playing against cheating AI in most situations.>none of that means that WH gameplay isn't less braindead than med 2/rome 2 because it isThat depends on who you're playing and how you're playing.>even with a full heavy cav stack its possible to lose in medieval 2 when up against 2 strong stacks>with a lvl 50 tamurkhan with gear u can't lose in wh3If you play properly it is not possible to lose either of these scenarios.
>>576481390But anon, cheating is a valid strategy, one that works quite well in real life.
>>576483041>If you play properlyso.... having to use strategy with the cav versus just right clicking their lord with tamurkhan? got itnon-cheating AI is prob doable with small scale like SC2, age of empires 2 AI also doens't resource cheat at all, but in TW campaign its impossible to have it not cheat and feel fair, unless, you want the AI to play like a MP faggot, corner camping, juking with units, at which point it doens't feel like a commander in the warhammer world, it feels like you're playing against some hyper zoomer tranny in sweden, this wouldn't be fun for anyone balancing a game is extremely hard, singleplayer or not, but still, the point stands that hist games do not have "less stategy" than WH, especially not for the way most people will play
WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE???PASSFAG??? HELLO???
>>576484183Total War has been regurgitating players since three's fucked up launch.
>>576483869>so.... having to use strategy with the cav versus just right clicking their lord with tamurkhan? got itBoth are trivial and are solely reliant on how much effort you want to put into microing a handful of units(in a game with pause).>but in TW campaign its impossible to have it not cheat and feel fair, unless, you want the AI to play like a MP faggot, corner camping, juking with units, at which point it doens't feel like a commander in the warhammer world, it feels like you're playing against some hyper zoomer tranny in sweden, this wouldn't be fun for anyoneIt's very possible, you just code AI that can manage resources and build armies competently and manage those armies on the field competently, vanilla starcraft 2 AI already does this. Hobbyist coders have made starcraft 2 AI that beats professional players through traditional gameplay and zero cheats at all.>the point stands that hist games do not have "less stategy" than WHAnd the point is almost every total war game only has as much strategy as you want to put into it because trivializing all of them with minimal strategy is possible. Because the AI doesn't use strategy, it cheats. It doesn't act intelligently so you don't actually need to strategize, you just wipe its stacks with simple tactics repeatedly.
>>576484381starcraft 2 AI plays in a very very annoying way that no TW player will enjoy playing against, units juking spells, orbwalking, cheesing you (in sc2 with medevac pickups and similar shit) NOBODY would find that fun or satisfying to play against in a TW game, not even a little, in these games you're meant to feel like you're playing against a real commander in the setting, not some sweaty kid that learned strats from pros and youtube, I'm sure its possible to code TW AI that would behave like that, but everyone will hate it hence the need for it to overwhelm you with numbers (which is more satisfying to face anyways), like I said all TW games need suspension of disbelief and larp, but some more than others, and imo WH is firmly in the camp of tipeoing into MOBA territory
>>576484891>starcraft 2 AI plays in a very very annoying way that no TW player will enjoy playing againstIt plays with the bare minimum level of skill required to present a challenge to a player without just thoughtlessly throwing infinite units at him.>units juking spellsTotal war warhammer AI already does this, poorly most of the time, and so do you.>in these games you're meant to feel like you're playing against a real commander in the settingIf that were the case then you wouldn't be giving your units commands in real time that they obey instantly regardless of whether or not it's actually feasible for them to receive or obey commands from you. Total war is mashing formations of men into each other and that's all it's ever been.>I'm sure its possible to code TW AI that would behave like that, but everyone will hate it hence the need for it to overwhelm you with numbers (which is more satisfying to face anyways)You're complaining that the AI is too easy to beat but you yourself only ever want it to play like a retard that needs cheats to even begin to challenge you.>and imo WH is firmly in the camp of tipeoing into MOBA territoryAnd you reveal yourself to be a clueless dumb cunt that doesn't understand anything he's saying by that statement alone.
>>576485539>and so do youirrelevant, my whole point was nobody wants to play against an AI that plays with max efficiency, like a player, it makes it too game-y, starcraft 2 is game-y, total war is half larp, you're meant to feel like you're playing against a commander in the setting, not another player, ofc this doesn't mean the AI should keep throwing lords into ur anti lord units or charging cav into spears or any of the retarded things it does, but there's ways to improve it without making it annoying to play against, in a perfect world the AI wouldn't need to cheat, js there's ways to improve it while keeping it fun>And you reveal yourself to be a clueless dumb cunt that doesn't understand anything he's saying by that statement alone.yeah, famously leveling up and giving gears to lords n heroes which will carry the battles for you is far removed from MOBAs, right?

>>576488647it's not quite as game-y as starcraft, most TW players love to larp a little and get immersed in the battles, if that's not you idk maybe you should try playing mp or something i dunno I didn't say it was a MOBA either, but it has more MOBA elements than ever because you design armies around lords which then do the heavy lifting instead of the army, not the other way around, exact same way warcraft 3s campaigns worked, the precursor to actual full blown MOBAs, it's not hard to see the logic if you try thinking about it for 5min
>>576487817cool

BLOOD KNIGHTS!!!!!!
>>576488986>you design armies around lords which then do the heavy lifting instead of the armyFalse, most factions can build armies that do more than the lords, multiple factions don't even get particularly strong lords at all, so your entire argument was baseless to begin with.
There will be no more Warhammer 3 leaks after Lords of the End Times.
>>576491265>canyeah u can play however if you want, if you want you can keep your lord at lvl 1, like I said I usually play WH with mods that make it more like old TW where the army is still the star and not the MOBA larp spell slinging heroes, that doesn't stop how a lot of factions get near max tier units in the earlygame which sucks too, but the most optimal way to play is still to build around lords, that's how most people will do it, that's what the game pushes towards and incentivizes, and over half the factions do get strong lords, even CA recognizes how annoying this shit is to much of the playerbase which is why single units are being downscaled in 40k and honor guard is coming back, so I don't see why you're so upset about it when that is in fact how WH is designed
>>576487817No elf/eldar romance this time around?
>>576491714>but the most optimal way to play is still to build around lordsUnless they can't, which you keep flip flopping between acknowledging is the case and pretending it is not.>not the MOBA larp spell slinging heroesNow this is an extreme rarity.Isn't it ironic the first person to bring up disingenuousness is so disingenuous?>the game isn't fun because I optimize the fun out of it(like I can do with every other game)This is a personal problem, your arguments are invalid.
>>576492724no your arguments are invalid and you sound like a redditor faggot that keeps strawmanning >every TW game can be cheesed so that means it's okay that the optimal playstyle in one is facemashing you said it yourself that playing with an OP cav stack in med2 is somehow the same thing as having tamurkhan because uhhh they're both cheese.... even though one is way easier to pull off than the other one and you STILL need to think a little on how to approach the encounter, but since they're both abnormally strong vs the AI then 20 tamurkhans is the same as 20 cataphracts the initial argument was that WH needs less strategy than history titles in most cases, which is true, and you began trying to disprove it by posting niche scenarios from med 2 a game u prob haven't played in like 10 years, you still haven't disproven that claim, just presenting outliers in poor attempts to undermine it, u didn't even mention how in your very own med 2 example the fact that you lost inf to the aztec stack will bite u in the ass because u can't easily replenish them, if it was WH it'd be no problem because of global replenishment, in med 2 however the next aztec stack will rape ur ass because you just lost 50% of your elite inf to win one battle, the reason u didn't even think about that is cause u haven't even played the game in ages, but still used it as an argument, be 4real now
>>576490910Night Lords!
>>576493187>the initial argument was that WH needs less strategy than history titles in most casesThe initial claim was that historical titles have more strategy than warhammer.But going by your argument that the game's strategy is as simple as the simplest strategy required to win, there is next to no strategy required in any total war game, including the older titles.The strategy required being "recruit heavy cavalry, win", the tactics required being "rear charge, win".> u didn't even mention how in your very own med 2 example the fact that you lost inf to the aztec stack will bite u in the ass because u can't easily replenish themPerhaps your memory really is completely dulled, you can build recruitment buildings for those units in the new world in that game, it is in fact not that hard to replenish them.>in med 2 however the next aztec stack will rape ur ass because you just lost 50% of your elite inf to win one battleThere are like four settlements in the entire new world, that wasn't even my main stack, the aztecs were on the verge of death because it was going after their last couple settlements while their last actual army was about to die in a hopeless siege.

>>576494335I dunno but these 2 anons are cooming into each other's panties rn.
i have to buy troy next time it goes into discount
>>576494335If it works the way other DLCs have in the pastThere will be a total of 1 or 2 free units, and possibly one free lord and one free hero.Everything else will be buy or die.
>>576494315since you wanna keep being totally wo nuance and this "well akshyually" style of argument, imagine this, you don't have a doomstack in med 2, its not lategame and you can't easily afford a billion units of the best heavy cav, or ferry them to your front from the places with the required recruitment buildings, but its midgame and comparatively you have a lvl 35 tamurkhan or some shit that can solo an entire army especially ones the AI is throwing at you midgame it takes much less strategy and effort to win against multiple stacks in med2 in this scenario than it does in warhammer, in WH strategy barely stops mattering when u have that tamurkhan stack becuase he is himself a doomstack and one u get for free, all u have to do to win is send ur tamurkhan to assrape them, that means yes in a lot of scenarios warhammer does require less strategy than med2 or even other hist titles, wouldn't u say??? >bbut what about empire n brets or something that wouldn't have insta win lords at that point of the gameit would require more strategy than nurgle or other chaos niggers 4sure, but not as much as med2 or shogun or whatever in that part of the campaign, u have 0 nuance and just pick the niche example to try and disprove the premise, its wrong
>>576494997>it takes much less strategy and effort to win against multiple stacks in med2 in this scenariomuch more* but ye
>tfw no battle pilgrim/sister of slaughter pairing
>>576494997You don't need a doomstack of cavalry in medieval 2, you need a handful of heavy cavalry units to win almost every battle you ever fight. Most factions get heavy cavalry through recruitment, all of them do through mercenary recruitment.Literally every faction except tamurkhan's does not get access to tamurkhan. The overwhelming majority of scenarios you can create in warhammer will not give you tamurkhan.
>40k fags start dripping into the thread>debates become more civilized and structuredMaybe fantasy was the problem all along
>>576496382i am aware hammer n anvil can win u almost any fight in games like med2 specially where cav is very strong, but its not that simple, it's not as OP as using lords, even on non-tamurkhan factions, a lot of the time you lose a lot of cav in those charges, yes you'll win the battle but replacing em is a hassle>just play it perfectly and you won't lose cav and be fineYES BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT PERFECTLY, IN WH YOU CAN USE LORDS AND HEROES THAT HEAL OUT THE ASS AND BE JUST FINE, NO NEED TO EVEN REPLENISHMENT THEM the point is COMPARATIVELY warhammer needs less strategy to do well, comparatively, it doens't mean og med2 is some hyper strategic hard game, but you still need more strategy to pull off a good win than u do in WH thus that guys comment about him "missing" strategy as if WH is some giga hard strategic game compared to games like med 2 is WRONG, that's the point, easy replenishment and global recruitment itself ensures you need to use less strategy in every battle, because u dont give a shit about losing more units, its all part of the "need less/more strategy" equation

>>576448724
>>576497519thinking of playing through starcraft 1 (never played it) and then 2 these daysi hear 1 is way harder than 2 campaign wise, like acc difficulty, will see ig recently played warcraft 1 and its not so bad, old RTS were like puzzle games, fail the lvl until u know whats coming then just use the knowledge to btfo the ai
>>576448724it denotes her appreciation of Blessed Bretonnian Chivalry
>>576497637starcraft 1 campaign is ok, there are like one or two spots a new player might get btfo'd but nothing super hard. starcraft BROOD WAR has some harder challenges but again nothing super impossible. no matter what esportstards tell you, starcraft 1 was designed for 11 year olds to beat in the 90s. so, you know, for me. the largest difference between 1 and 2 campaigns is 2 has a lot of levels where the gimmick to make infinity of the unit you just unlocked, but it's not necessarily a bad thing since the campaign in 2 is longer. sadly the story in 2 is retarded but the levels are fun.
>>576497223>the point is COMPARATIVELY warhammer needs less strategy to do well, comparatively, it doens't mean og med2 is some hyper strategic hard gameIn regards to medieval 2 specifically, no, medieval 2 is one of the easiest total war games ever made just because of how tactically and strategically incompetent the AI is and how little the AI cheats. Most warhammer campaigns will be harder than most medieval 2 campaigns. It's not really much different for rome either. Warhammer is strategically and tactically more difficult than either of those games most of the time.Shogun 2 is the only old title that requires significantly more skill than is required for the average warhammer campaign. Mostly due to a combination of the absolutely insane anti player bias, heavy AI cheats and how constrained the player is mechanically compared to pretty much every other title.
>>576498292rome 1/med 2 are some of the simpler n easier games, tho give m2ex a try, rn there's a "fair" difficulty setting that besides the AI improvements the mod itself makes, allows em to use mercenaries and it might change some other stuff too, but the AI has never been more competent than with that change, and m2ex AI is way better than savageAI or whatever its name was the AI in stainless steel, so there's a decent challenge even wo all that tho, its still harder than playing nurgle/khorne, compared to empire or brets or other hard campaigns, probably not, empire is the warhammer faction that plays most like other TW just by virtue of not having insanely broken lords and units, and a lot of WH players hate em for it lmao, they expect handhold easy chaos mode and think the empire "weak" for not being braindead, pretty silly

You could either give him a scrap like system for his demon units, add instant built settlement buildings for demonic glory, or instant recruit units for glory form a limited pool. Give him a real goddamn tech tree, you could probably just make his skill tree the tech tree with some tweaks. Rework his skills. Add at the end of each god dedication path the chance to do a quest battle with the major LLs of each God (Kugath for Nurgle, Kairos for Tzeentch, etc.) after the battle you get to recruit them as part of your armies and their faction is either destroyed or confederated, for undivided you get Belakor, lets you play Pokemon like Archaon. And a “chaos challenge” system where when Daniel gets big and bad enough, chaos LLs get mad and think you’re trying to claim something that isn’t yours and will either ramp up hostility and send invasion forces, or you can do battles with them. Maybe even a Wulfrik like mechanic to teleport to the specific lords locations to beat them up and claim rewards for doing so. Most everything else he has can stay.

>>576553484Nice, bro.
>>576547489The Infernal Guard are the Chaos Dwarf versions of Slayers, and the Black Fortress is their version of Karak Kadrin. They are only "trained" in the Black Fortres where they cut off their horns and trap their face inside their helmets until they redeem themselves from their shame by dying, or become Castellans (rare since they are hero units). Drazoath controls the majority of them, though some will travel to other areas like slayers.
>>576556676Ok so essentially, Drazhoath is the leader of the Infernal Guard, even if a few of them go serve under other generals.
>>576556676how are they promoted to castellans? kill a bunch of people?
>>576558074I think the process is>Get dishonored > Go to the Infernal Guard.>Put on a helmet that hides your identity so your crime is erased.>Serve until you do something awesome enough on the battlefield that it's decided whatever you did has been repaid.>Option 1: Take off helmet, go back to normal Chorf life.>Option 2: Take off helmet, want to keep serving so you become a Castellan.>Option 3: Feel you're still dishonored and you can't go back to normal life after all this, your helmet gets reheated to stay welded to your head for the rest of your life and you become an Ironsworn.

Is it strange that I feel Bretonnia should focus more on the France side and less Arthurian, and this includes french associated historical figures like Charlemagne and his paladins?
>>576564336Bretonnia is unfortunately an NPC faction and if GW or CA gave it a storyline then it'd interfere with the Empire's story.
>>576564336Yes it is.Bretonnia should have Artoria and Mordred and they better have Fate skins.

I want the king to ride my dick like a horse and I want her son’s vagina on my mouth. I want to cum inside the king as I eat out the king’s son.

>>576565671Yes anon, we have heard that story a trillion times already. Same with Mordred being an 8y old homunculus that was grown in a lab with magic. Warhammer lore is worse tho. I mean fate is at least funny the first time you hear it.Fucking lizards go to space in flying pyramids. Shit sucks 10 dicks.
>>576566086>Fucking lizards go to space in flying pyramids.Holy kino
>>576565671While not the most FAITHFUL adaptation, I honestly think that Fate's adaptation of Arthurian legend is damned interesting. Having a girl draw the sword from the stone and be crowned king, not queen, recontextualized a lot of the famous elements from the myth.Said queen marrying Guenivere for political reasons as a quick and dirty solution to unify the kingdom and prevent a war is interesting, making it a loveless marriage that plays perfectly into Lancelot waltzing in later on and having an affair with the queen.The creation of Mordred as a kind of magical homonculus/clone to ensure the royal line continue that backfires because Morgana is a bitch is solid, and the whole 'it must be an incest baby' story becoming popular among the commoners because they don't know whats really going on and all they know is that the King is being SUPER weird about all of this and that's the explanation that people think makes the most sense.There are a few things I would do differently, but on a conceptual level there is some really good material there for playing with the story of king arthur in an interesting way.
>>576566280No anon, not fucking kino.That's what a 6y old boy draws with crayons. It's trash.

Warhammer is nothing compared to fate.>>576567856He'd probably sit around and do nothing but he could annihilate every race there is. Would just take forever unless he finds a way to expand his domain across an entire planet with some chaos magic bullshit. Only the tyranids would survive that.Easiest is probably the imperium tho. Just go rape the emperor and then it all falls apart and dies.I do wonder if his simple existence would make pheonix guards and kairos just fall over dead..

>>576574087Fantasy used to have those cool names for different races, names they called themselves. Asur for High Elves, Druchii for Dark Elves, Asrai for Wood Elves, Dawi for Dwarfs, Dawi Zharr for Chaos Dwarfs. In 40k there were only Eldar and Dark Eldar, also Craftworld Eldar, Corsairs, etc. The problem was they weren't very copyright-able. So they started introducing those names, Aeldari for Eldar, Drukhari for Dark Eldar, Asuryani for Craftworld Eldar, Anhrathe for Corsairs.
>>576579393"Protocol" is not a latin word, it is an english word derived from a latin word derived from a greek word.
>>576579963Is "Eldar" an actual word or something? I thought warhammer made that up. So they should be able to copyright it.>>576580142>hurr durr I'm smortBleh

>>576503039If it was mythos total war it would done fucking spectacular. A reason why I am working on a mod to change the period is I just think chariots don't work in total war beyond a very light presence (Warhammer and I liked Kislev's sleds). Mythos and being freed up with what they do would have let them have lots of fun shit. Hell, they didn't even do the chariots right visually - they're far too long and boxy with those ratchet ass ones Egypt gets for the early and mid tiers being ridiculous, full on unga bunga.

>>576582165Other characters in the story are so prettyboy that they're borderline girls. Hiding a girl among a bunch of long haired pretty boys is easy.
>>576566086Warhammer (Fantasy) lore is shoddy and yet it's still a step above a lot of other fantasy lore until you go into obscurias.>>576554148I'm still not sure why the fuck they didn't include the steppe (It doesn't strike me as just allergy to Russia since that means no Grand Prince of Kiev and easy to play to some Ukrainian enthusiasm there) or Iran/Central Asia for Khwarezm. I'd still like to see an extension southwards too for Mali, Makuria and Ethiopia and Yemen. Years ago I remember reading that during big-gold-nigga Munsa's time he was dealing with poison horse archers in the sahel and that sounded neat.
>>576582743Cuz nobody cares for those places. 90% of people will play England, France, HRE or the Byzantines.

>>576584963>Best TW gameplay by miles>nobody liked it because the setting SUCKEDfunny innit
>>576585010Is there anything besides the skaven that GW made themselves? Seems everything is just copied.
>>576585413Total war's gameplay, on the strategic and tactical level, just isn't very good. It really is just the setting that carries a total war game.
>>576586115Is there really a strategy game with better strategy and tactics tho?I play a lot of stellaris and that game is just missile maxing in combat. The planet building is just a time waster. I played lots of CnC, CoH and Warcraft 3 and there it's just "bunker up and make a giga force while the AI brainlessly sends waves".Of all of these, I think WH3 is the hardest. Here the AI does the most random things and can totally fuck u in the ass and cost you tons of turns. In the others.. it's whatever. I could load up a devouring swarm campaign rn and brain afk through the thing piss drunk.
>>576586717There's no other game that does exactly what Total War does, which is arguably the only reason it's still going. There are games with infinitely better and more detailed tactical gameplay like Gates of Hell: Ostfront, or games with much better map-based gameplay like Paradox games I think, never played any of them admittedly, but there are none that combine the two aside from TW.
>>576586115This is the main reason I think Total War's multiplayer scene never took off. Without the context a campaign provides, the battles just aren't very engaging once the initial spectacle has waned.
>>576585895Green orcs. They actually invented them being green. I mean, one guy at GW painted them green, people thought it look cool and it caught on in most of fantasy media.
>>576586983>map based gameplay>paradoxI dunno man.. Stellaris is just>set const and science ships to autoThey just do their own shit, all we do is put down starbases in the early game and mega structs in the late. Maybe build a starbase in a chokepoint.. The planets are all in the right hand UI, we don't need the map to operate those. I think total war has way more complex map gameplay with army placement and stances. I've never had a situation in Stellaris where I thought I fucked up by doing something on the map. In total war I absolutely ran into ambushes in force march or didn't scout ahead and that cost me dearly. I also played Age of Wonders 4 and that entire map gameplay is a literal copy of Stellaris from about 10 years ago. That's how Stellaris used to work back then.>>576587156I mean.. I guess it's original of them to make em a fungus and green but it's still orcs. I was more thinking.. truly new. I have never seen a game with human sized rats that wield high tech weapons and eat each other.
>>576587067With the game coming to console and having more narrative campaigns... I wonder if Multiplayer will be a focus for CA...They gave up with Vortex/RoC, they'll just probably give up and just focus on whatever the IE-equiv is desu
>>576587326They weren't fungus (fungi?) back then. They even had a female cheerleader in Bloodbowl. They first turned them into fungi in Gorkamorka, then it carried to regular 40k with the 3rd edition and after a while it got copied to Fantasy.

holy shit this is almost as bad as warhammer TW i guess with voidfearer edition you'd get everything except the necron DLC
>>576584510>get boredTell that to the people playing their 100th empire campaign since 2017.
>>576590962Nah, just get the 2 season bundles on sale for like 14$ each and that's all. The cosmetic shit doesn't matter
>>576591202voidfearer can be foudn cheap on key sites checked the steam page its confusing but it should contain everything except the new necron DLC, and then for that onwards you'd need season pass 2 to get em
>>576591071This.... But korn
>>576591263Yeah, there's that too
>>576591909do you even need the necron dlc, its just an extra side area + quests for that area right? basically?i'm not familiar with crpgs.... i'll pray on normal and hope i don't get softlocked
>>576591975RT DLCs are integrated and spread across the main game, it adds another colony and expands Necron plot with Trazyn's vault and Trazyn pops in across some of the base game quest to comment after you meet him. It's good since it expands late game which feels a bit weaker than early/mid game. My recommendation would be get voidfarer now and play with season 1. Then after 4th DLC is released buy Season 2 for your second playthrough.
>>576592183DLC4 might come out in Sept, they're hefty games so maybe the other anon should wait until all 4 is out
>>576591975>>576592712Yeah that's an option too, they didn't say if they will delay it, so Sep-Oct is probable.They might reveal it at Gamescon

>>576593185So was the movie good? I've been holding off from buying tickets because I'm not sure if the fantasy-like look for an Odyssey movie was for me, but I'll give it a try if it's a good time.
>>576595070It's good, but EPIC honestly does it better.But if you hate musicals and/or hate Nolan style shit, then your best bet is the 1979 film, the Warriors.>>576593362Rogue Trader you have a few months on, there's one more big DLC planned before the end of the year, which means the 'definitive edition' will be out shortly after which usually includes a lot of bug fixes and generally good updates.
>>576595543>But if you hate musicalsWait it's a musical?!Man, I have NOT been keeping up with this at all.
>>576564336No.imo Bretonnia should be more Arthurian than French. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't have French influence, of course. That's obviously going to be a major source of inspiration for them.Pushing them towards something more fantastical rather than historical helps to give them more character, so they feel less like simply being a lower-tech version of the Empire.tbhwy I still kind of wish that huntsmen-generals, flagellants, and luminarks were Bretonnian units. Let the Empire have the guns, cannons etc instead.
>>576595607EPIC is a musical, Nolan is not.
>>576595658>>576564336Arthurian legend is french.Most of the stories take place in France, and during the French ownership of England.
>>576595543>there's one more big DLC planned before the end of the year, which means the 'definitive edition' will be out shortly after which usually includes a lot of bug fixes and generally good updates.yeah but I kinda wanted to play it now.... definitive ed would be like idk the start of 2027 right
>>576595721Oh, by EPIC I thought you were saying that the Odyssey was epic.
>>576596105Last DLC is scheduled for next month.So definitive would presumably be around Christmas this year or start of next year, yeah.If you do want to play right now, then I highly recommend it, I've got 671 hours in it and I haven't done a new playthrough for the third DLC yet.I also don't have an iconoclast playthrough yet, but maybe eventually I'll be enough of a cuck to do one.
>>576596312It is likely they delay it

How much will the dlc cost? Will you buy it even if it's 40 euros/dollars?
>>576586717NTA but I've played tons of strategy games and so far the hardest for me is modded Master Of Orion: Conquer The Stars. On impossible difficulty in a big map vs all other AI, if you make even one little mistake it could cost you your entire campaign.Basically you have to play vs mod authors on old games who regularly update because game devs aren't in the business of making games hard because that's bad for the bottom line.
anyone watching that shit? i never played troy, how good/bad is he?
>>576599393looks like a 15-20$ pack as usualno I'm not paying 40$ for overpowered chaos-slop 20 maybe
>>576599393>40 euros/I won 2 10EUR Gamesplanet vouchers so yeah.

I don't get it. Pharaoh does not look like a bad game, why all the hate?>waaah waah it does nothing to advance total war as a franchiseDo you want coca cola to advance as a soda?
>>576611606>waaah waah it does nothing to advance total war as a franchisenobody said thisit's just a boring settingnobody really gives a shit about the bronze age beyond some odyssey larping so once u do 1-2 campaigns it gets old fastdynasties is objectively prob top 3 TW games and I do one tausret campaign one agamemnon one surfer dude i forgot his name and im already bored w the setting and map

>>576611772that said I'm sure the 800 people that were asking for a bronze age TW for decades are happy with it it's a great game, only thing missing is some lands to the west but we literally don't know anything about the bronze age except homer's shit so it'd all be fantasy
>>576586115>>576612098what kinda retarded logic is this? nobody's gonna play a strategy game where they're not into the settingthere's 0 exceptions to this
>>576611953

>>576611606>bronze age
>>576611606>why all the hate?legendjeetswhy do you think you get posts like "ask sorry to Legend!" and AI slop posts?the answer is jeets
>>576610296>health of the franchiseA healthy franchise does not matter to me, the best games in any given franchise were almost always made when they weren't hugely successful.TWWH was made when the warhammer fantasy franchise was a fucking corpse and when the total war franchise was at a pretty low point. And it ended up being considered by most to be both the best warhammer fantasy video game and total war video game ever made.I'm of the opinion that the video game industry would have been improved in the long run if there was an apocalyptic crash that destroyed all the big studios in the industry around 2012 or 2018 and just left impoverished indie studios sifting through the ashes.
>>576611606It's not hate, it's apathy.
>>576614450extremely cope opinion but I respect itrussia's culture of piracy is partly why there's basically 0 cultural output from russia tho, even ukraine has a ton of games and media coming out of it, almost nothing from russia cept some studios like saber interactive here n there (which end up moving away from russia to places where they can get paid) compare it to japan with its worldwide girnormous cultural output with a culture of total disdain for piracy, I get it, piracy is a necessity when you're pisspoor, but russia is a middle income country now and they still pirate a lot, won't get very far in your output that way

>>576622359I have actually wondered many times before why Khalida doesn't get them.
>>576595070odysessus is very disparaging of the gods for some reason, its mostly about being nam vet than anything than the actual story of a heros returnif you want some greek fantasy, just watch jason and argonauts instead
>>576595070It's okay as a movie on it's own but it's such a massive downgrade from the original storyline of the odissey that it almost feels like intentional baiting
>>576595070Nah, it's dogshit.
>>576584963Frankly if it was as simple as>Is this someone who isn't like who I am IRL? AHHH HELP ME I CAN'T RELATE! I CANT RELATE! Then Thrones of Britannia should have done fantastic given it's quintessential England and Vikings. Instead it did worse than Pharaoh and Troy.>>576611606Chariot warfare is not at all suitable to total war in a large scale context. It works smaller scale in warhammer, Pharaoh would be great in bannerlord, but that coupled with no cavalry except for 3 factions really destroys unit variety. Then couple in the >Period is lighter on armor so you get more unga-bungas and people like armor porn.>"I can only play as Europeans" types and they're limited to just Greece>inordinate focus on Egypt when Egypt's interest doesn't apply to historical total wars and there's not enough unit variety within Egypt>A majority of people's interests in history are shallow entry level experiences absorbed from pop culture while they have no frame of reference to work off of for Hittites, Assyria or Babylonia.If you released a fantasy total war of some similarly (RELATIVE TO WARHAMMER) obscure setting like the Black Company or Wheel of Time it would similarly do poorer. Bit better, but not as good as something with that 'brand' association.
>>576626323He didn't say that he specifically said brown peopleLizards and Demons fighting is sick
>>576625139It's been a funny trip for me seeing the translation lady associated with it pre release ripping into it post release. I found the opening of the Odyssey she translated to be horrendously bland and as much as I fell for the culture warfare vulture critiquing of her, her criticism of Nolan's movie seemed very appropriate and a wider contempt for Hollywood's hand-wringing angsty themes of that American Soldier self-aggrandizing guilt of>War is so sad so tragic :(>NOW WATCH ME KILL SOME BITCHES OOOYEAAAALike she's got the usual hackneyed bleeding heart stuff, some aside bitching about filming in occupied Western Sahara but you can respect her sincerity and similarly find Nolan's contemptuous. That paradox greentexted honestly makes me think Nolan really fits the weeping faggotry of the actual Oppenheimer and feels like the atrocious line I remember from the first batman movie really came from Nolan's heart: "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you". Warts and scowling Zenyata and other trash aside, I'm just glad my beloved Dunc got Villeneuve instead of Nolan

>>576508368I don't know if ugly bastard applies when the cuck (Vlad in this case) is himself depicted as incredibly ugly. Usually ugly bastard refers to an ugly bastard who is juxtaposed against a normal looking guy, which Vlad clearly is not.

>>576634013Vampire weaknesses in Warhammer Fantasy vary with the type of vampire and the vampire's age.All vampires have to drink blood and suffer from not drinking human blood (unless they solo and eat an ancient dragon like abhorash).Other things ranging from autistic counting to being weak to certain herbs can be varied.Von Carstein vampires are also a bit special, they are known to conjure storms to stop sunlight from hitting them, elder von carstein vampires are able to walk in sunlight like Bram Stoker's Dracula.The elder vampires who can walk in sunlight can also spend time to develop the power to make it so they also have a shadow and then also cast a reflection.They're the only vampires known to develop this particular ability (Lahmians and Necrarchs can also get the sunlight resistance, but only ancient Von Carstein's get the reflection ability). They can also develop immunity to silver but that's not really relevant.Notably not a weakness: GarlicThere was famously a bretonnian necrarch who purposely went around spreading the rumor that vampires are allergic to garlic, because garlic blood tastes better.
>>576639694why cant your vassals do that, their armies are always mid
>>576645080Vassals are retarded.Only way to fix it (reliably) is use console mod to kill the army without killing the lord, then give them money to rebuild, they'll default to using the highest tier military units they can buy.

Total War: Warhammer 3 content after the End Times:
end times is the end
I hope Neferata steals a mechanic from the Lewd Morathi mod.Namely she confederates various demon/delf/helf LLs. In doing so she gets options with them, she can go full Dom where she maims them and gives them and their armies massive penalties at the benefit of turning herself into a one woman doom stack with loads of faction wide benefits, or she can take some faction penalties, greatly boost her casting, and be a fuck toy for the confederated LLs giving each of them massive army bonuses.

>>576656472How is that supposed to be content?
>>576652035The fans don't hate the new stuff. Cathay is loved by many. The only people pissing themselves are little pol chuds who hate china.
>>576661460nobody hates cathay cause its china, they think they're too grimlight not grimdark enough etc for the setting kinda like tau
>>576661963Spare me your bullshit. I've seen countless people piss themselves in here about>muh china pandering I hate chinaAnd steam reviews with>china and russia evil ca is horrible company for promoting china and russiaSame thing happened when three kingdoms released. A wave of china hate boners on every platform.
>>576656472Solid changes, can't wait to try them out.
>>576663412Because Cathay and Kislev had the unfortunate timing to be released right after Russia started a 5-year deathwar for the lulz and the CCP came out cheerleading for them.The optics were not great to say the least
>>576666615Russia has a right to defend itself
>>576666615I am aware of the situation on our planet, anon. The reason for the retards chimping out doesn't really matter tho.Point is that the people hating on cathay and kislev do it for nonsensical reasons. From hate towards irl countries that have nothing to do with warhammer, to women hatred cause of meow and katarin.

>>576661460Most tabletop fags I know just hate Cathay and Kislev because they're new and perceived as not fitting, especially because all of the Cathay shit is just kind of boring.
>>576663412Current depictions of kislev and cathay are bad because they feel and look like out of place mod factions made by and for current year people instead of organic parts of the setting.

>>576696451Yes, it's an allegory for Trump making America even more Jewish.
>>576416883People hate Cathay because the art and writing team clearly are fawning over them, retconning them into being this immense realm superior to the empire in every way who taught the stupid westerners all they knew. While blatantly pozzing the western factions while staying very respectful to the portrayal of the cathayans to not offend the CCP and its millions of chinese supremacist buyers.
>>576696451Less guilliman and more the fact that they"re completely desperate and holding on for dear life after the fall of cadia

>>576699619Hows S3? I heard it was ass all around, worth a watch?
>>576699680I'm watching it for completionists sake, it's meh, entertaining enough, better than season 2 worse than season 1, i'm mostly waiting for The Battle above the Gods Eye but that'll be mid season 4, yet again it's being carried by Matt Smiths performance as Daemon Targaryen. The latest episode ended with a great deal of hype though but that's to be expected as it's the penultimate episode of season 3.
>>576699980Bleh, thanks. Glad to hear Matt Smith is killing it, my FOREVER DOCTOR...I'll maybe catch it soon then, can't wait for more Dunk n Egg though. At least that's bretty good.
>>576696451>more cooperative with eldarNoMore like the Aeldari and the Imperium have significantly disengaged over the other since Girlyman arrived and Ilyan Natase was assigned as his Eldar ambassadorThey still go at it randomly but they're not Tallarn buddy-buddy or pre-Heresy/pre-Webway Project Emprah x EldradThe Imperium let the Dark Eldar inside the Imperial Palace before the Eldar
>>576700250Yeah they're diverging from the books a lot in the final episode of season 3, PV shows Daemon at Tumbleton with Caraxes when in the books neither were there so if you're a diehard loyalist for the books you won't like it as it may as well be a fanfic. They can make the story as shit as they want as long as Gods Eye is good, genuinely the best part of the Dance of Dragons. May as well wait till the 9th so you can binge all 8 episodes.

>>576703025It's less the engine and more that CA seems to intentionally make hurting units in many situations almost impossible through knockdown and shit animations.I say intentionally because dogs exist and will turn routing infantry into corpse piles in seconds.It's definitely intentional that knockdowns don't count as a hit by the unit doing the knocking down.

>>576705886A dozen of /twg/'s Star Wars posters remained.They were the only survivors of the Total War: 40K announcement trailer and they had gathered in the beginning of the new thread. Jedifags, Sithniggers and even a few lost looking Ahsoka simps. Anon noticed that there were no droid posters in their numbers, thinking that perhaps a few had survived the Primarchposting in the last thread, but knowing that they might as well have been on the other side of /vg/. This was the end. They all knew it. But none of them gave voice to that fact. He knew all their names now. Before, they had just been grime-streaked faces among the endless days and nights of shitposting. But now they were brothers. Anons he would die with, in honour. Flashes of the Emperor lit up the thread, Boreale posts punched across the page, scorching holes through which the incoming T'au spam could be seen. The Farseer AI art rained down on the thread, in time to watch /twg/ die. "Did we hurt them, Anon?", asked a Reyposter, "Did this mean anything?" Anon thought for a moment before replying. "Yes", He said. "We hurt them here. They'll remember this." An image of the Blood Angels pre-order bonus slammed into the thread, finally blasting what little remained of its Leiaposts into piles of ashes and dead dreams. The Star Wars posters did not throw themselves into cover, or run for shelter. There was little point. The 40Kfags were taking over /twg/, and they were thorough. They would not let Vader be posted again. Walls of mocking posts bloomed all across the thread, closing in on them with smug inevitability. The battle for /twg/, was over...
>>576708795>End Times comes>It’s awesome>CA announces that it’s canon that chaos won>killswitch the game>no refunds>announces Total Warhammer: Age of SigmarYeah it’s gonna be bad
>>576706785Chaos is the good guy of warhammer
>>576709253Honestly, 40k getting canceled and CA pivoting to Total War Star Wars is still pretty likely.
>>576693008Hey drawfag, you ever look into Love Can Bloom? Just curious.
>>576711934bruhAt the very best it's 3rd Total War in production, after Med3. And TW:SW would cease support before TW:40k runs out of DLCs anyway, despite being released much laterBut it won't be 3rd Total War on Warcore. SW is a dying IP and expensive too, with very little DLC potential. WW2 will be - the most popular historical setting, Middle Ages being merely 2nd after it. Thus echoing Relic's Dawn of War -> Company of Heroes path, since if you can do 40k, you can do WW2 as well.
>>576714068Star Wars is much bigger than shit like 40k.
Any news on that Rome 2 update/rework/whatever they teased months ago?
>>576714409>big, as in popularityit's dead jim>big, as in lore and dlc potential40k mogs. SW at best is a one time injection of money at a release and that's it. There are only 2 factions per era, with everything else being glup shitto plankton. It could work as a SAGA game I guess
>>576634056Because gooks are dead inside and the only way they can feel anything is if subjected to abject misery.
>>576703363>>576705313Given there was a good long while where hounds also didn't do damage when chasing enemies, I suspect incompetence is correct.Remember when for a while it was reversed and chariots/horses/etc hitting any anti-large unit was taking damage per second from the unit, and it was due to some error they introduced with an ogre patch?I suspect that coding error has had ripple effects to basically every melee unit, and they need to fix them all by hand to get them to be able to rip people apart on a charge.
>>576714409Not after Kathleen Kennedy raped the IP.Disney are lucky the merch still sells regardless to boomer parentsGrogu flopped. All their TV shows flopped.Their hail mary(lol) with Gosling might do well because it's Gosling.Their games?Kotor 1 remake? DeadKotor follow up? 4 years outJedi3? Saudis just bought EA, who knows where or when it shows upThe racing game? looks goodThe xcom clone? I hope it's good, but it seems a bit barebones with how cheap it is, they have no faith in it or someshit
In another world we would've had... TW: Lord of the Rings... and... TW: Stargate
>>576714925I think Star Wars is cringe af but u are retarded, anon. You are legitimately retarded.
>>576716598Who's Rouge Trader? Did you drop it yet
>>576714925By your low IQ logic, SF is 20 times more popular than DC.>>576716753It's fun, I played Tekken today tho. The game taught me some funny 40k lore.. about how the mechanicus are just actually really stupid and don't understand anything they are doing. Holding huge rituals for some machine with scented candles and chants and all they did in the end was flip a switch.. They pray to the machine souls which are just fucking AIs.. they shoot random tesla coil arcs at machine to make em move and act like it's god's powers.. I only ever liked the Tyranids in 40k but with how hilariously stupid the Mechanicus are, I like them too now.
>>576717124DC is dead
Skulltakers VCO campaign is pretty cool and unique
>>576717463I like Skulltaker, what's the difference?
It's up!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YSF_bCQ2BY
How can 40k flop if Im going to buy everything it shits out at maximum prices?
>>576693008Drawchad, toss a glance at the next thread or two, something is cooking for (You)
>>576717595It's neat, 1 makes you take the key settlements and build up the core buildings3 makes you run down mega south and take that whole area(i have no idea how this affects his lore, maybe its lore friendly)
>>576717853>take and build up shit with khorneYou need to rope yourself asap
>>576718063SHUT UP GO PLAY RT
We are receiving a Lords of the End Times trailer before September.Source: I just know it to be true.
>>576718506THE 13TH
>>576707385>sun renGrace, take away this man's mods
>>576718189No, I gotta go watch anime now.
>>576718063Khorne is fine with building if it's a fucking sick arena or something
I wish Harry was a proper LL with a faction so bad, bros.
so when they said this summer nagash they meant fucking september or what
WHITE BORIS SUMMER
>>576721195HARALD HAMMERSTOOOOOORM
>>576722386IT'S HAMMER TIME
>>576721951december
>>5767219511st time here ?
Stuff.
>>576721951They're going to stealth drop at gamescom, any later would clash too hard with DoW's release.
>>576721195CA eventually arrived at this same issue as mods long time ago. IE is way too small and too much of a theme park. Already immortal LL borders another immortal LL. Generic Lords are now useless. There is no more room to put in new lords anymore. This is why they cope with Legendary Heroes. Every faction is now everywhere turning every location into indistinguishable slop to make it all worse.TW40K seems to be made up from many separate The Old World style campaigns and generated ones too. This honestly is a much better design. It will let them put literally everyone into the game overall, because not everyone has to be put on this same, one Campaign now. There will be no need to destroy location's atmosphere and flavor, Armageddon can remain Imperium vs Orks vs World Eaters/Khorne war zone without random Nids and Necrons unlike what happened to Lustria with barely any Lizardmen in it anymore. For different factions there will be different flavorful campaigns instead. And if you wish to fight as a Ghazghkull against Nids and Necrons, you will be able to do so in generated campaign as well. Advantages of both, disadvantages of none
>>576723759So when are they revealing beastmen and Moonclaw? You don't seriously believe it will be skaven, right?
>>576724197I continue to argue that pretty much every minor settlement is superfluous and the maps would be improved by just removing them all and leaving the major settlements.
>>576723759THE 13TH!!!!!!
>>576724415This is somewhat a thing in 3K. Minor settlements are really minor there
>>576724415As much as I love the dopamine of each turn having something to do since there's so much shit on the map... Less of that please, CA
>>576724197Yeah, the idea they've had for 40k seems like a good one to me, letting every campaign be unique and flavorful rather than a complete clusterfuck. Still, easier to do in 40k than in Fantasy, half the appeal of Fantasy is precisely having one defined map with recognizable areas everyone already knows and loves and would be upset if they weren't there. With 40k you could straight up show four AI generated planets with wildly different environments called Oritryhix I II II and IV and just say they're in whatever random segmentum and it'd still fit in. Can't do that with the Old World.>>576724415I'll agree with this though. I've hated the province system all the way since being introduced in Rome 2. I hate having to unify provinces instead of simply letting borders form naturally. Not being able to use edicts and sometimes governors because you might be in charge of a city but that small country town way over there happens to be inextricably bound to it with magic, but it's owned by someone you don't want to piss off, is fucking frustrating and immersion breaking.
>Map size: Mini40king time...
>100+ turns>0 wars with belegar>some minor faction on the edge of my territory at -100>it is time I will sacrifice myself to take away this single settlement from the player before I am completely fucking obliterated by their counter attack
>>576595070It's not really the Odyssey™ it's just wearing its skin.
>>576713243Yeah, I know what it is, read some bits and seen the art. Pretty cute.>>576717793Will do
>>576724197>>576725047Wait how does the campaign map work for 40k?
>>576733485They talked about this and not indepth yet and we merely got a glimpse, so much is still to be seen and much is still an assumptionYou select either premade or make your own Chapter/Waaagh/Craftworld/RegimentThen within your selection you can play multiple battles/campaigns and expand your faction across themAccording to first vlog you can>Play Immortal Empires sized even campaign for an entire Planetary System which can have up to 10 planets, with each planet being roughly continent sized>Fight war for a single planet, if you want a shorter campaign>Play essentially a custom battleThey call it "Flashpoint System"Each of those counts for improving your faction across campaigns, whatever this means.We will have both premade Campaigns like Armageddon, and later more, probably mimicking recent events in 40k like Maelstrom, Eye of Terror and 500 Worlds and others they listed in White DwarfAnd 4x style generated ones, which is why they have this system they showed off of merging Planet "Biomes" with their "Civilization Level" to increase their variety. So you can get Hive World on a Toxic Planet, Hive World on a Desert Planet, Feudal World in a Jungle etcThere is apparently some cinematic introduction like TWW3 intro with Kislev, this might be part of an Armageddon too. Probably is, they said that Nazdreg will play a role in it as well.I suspect they ripped off the Empire mode from Age of Wonders: Planetfall functionally. Along with many other features. Ultimately though, it's the biggest mystery of the game and the biggest change to TW formula yet and I really wish they showed this off already instead of battles which play exactly like we suspected they will.
>>576735661Planet generation systemIt works for battlefields too, obviously. That way you can get every map layout in every biome, increasing amount of battle maps so they are less repetitive.For an example that infamous TWW map with Sigmar statue could show up as a desert with Statue changed into Gork and Mork, or into jungle, or frozen landscape etc. Map layouts will be universal, but aesthetics will change, so you aren't locked into only 3 maps per Temperate climate, like in TWW, but game will make use of all of them.
>>576736183Most likely other premade campaigns
>>576736396other potential campaigns
>>576723759who's the Yari Ashigaru of Warhammer?
>decide to play counts>isabella has better lord bonuses>vlad gets a haremdecisions decisions
>>576611606Timing, you can't understand it if you weren't there
>tease undead legion all week>tease a trailer next week>trailer is actually just for the rat they already revealed on accident>still no nagash or neferata showcase despite them being the stars of the dlc
>>576739572Asinine mortal, CA's marketing strategy is beyond your comprehension.
>>576737510Vlad for diplomacy lines ofc
>>576741031I get why it was applied to vlad but I really hate how hard CA pushed the vassal """improvements""" in WH3. I'm painting the map, dammit. I don't want any faggy vassals. at least vlad is still playable unlike archaon I suppose.
>>576741538Did they? I've tried allying with the empire as vlad before and it technically works but then they don't do muchAlthough it would suck regardless because your land hurts them and their land hurts you
What's this I hear about REX/M2EX being stolen source code??
>>576741708You've got the right of it which is why it's dumb. If they're the same faction as you, you want to consolidate them. If they're an enemy faction, you should want them annihilated. If you're playing the Order bros you should make alliances. The push to try and make vassalizing people a legitimate overarching strategy in 3 was a wet fart for all involved.
>>576693008kys nigger
>>576741902They asked Claude "Re-create Total War's source code." and it did it the fucking madbot.But for real. Vibe coding is getting insane.
>>576693008Live, aryan.
>>576735661>>576736183>>576736396>>576736620Well that sounds like they're getting ready to nickel and dime the shit out of people.
>>576741538>>576741708>>576742280As much as I hate SFO, I wish there was a mod to steal their VampCounts vassal mechanic.Basically having Vassals (and more so if you own Reikland) you can do special research that causes your vassals to spread Vampiric Corruption as well as make it so your vassals are immune to vampiric corruption.Then there's a special research line for owning Altdorf of course.
I'm playing the Sisters of Twilight right now and I feel like the Hawk Riders just don't do much? Even with the arrow ability I feel I could get something better.
>>576747517They aren't exactly meta, but they're better in melee than pteradons, nice for picking off darksharts then plinking monsters
>>576747517They're flying helstorms. What more could you want?
>>576747517They're okay.If you take ALL of the buffs that Sisters get to flying/ranged units they become ideal for bullshit cheesing.
>>576747868Helstorms with more than one single shot?
>>576747517you do need to maximum their damage and if possible have multiple engineer backpacks to refill your ammunition, you ultimately have to abuse the fact all your dudes are able to gang up on anything that is by itself for even a few seconds which gyros do feel way better at doing
>>576747517Once you get two charge on the AoK it gets very cheesy.The unit itself is dogshit but the skill obliterates infantry and deals good damage to monsters.Also once you're running your 10+ hawk rider stack you can just use all your skills + ammo and if you haven't lost yet then just retreat with 0 losses while their army is completely mangled
Keeper of the lore status ?
New?
>>576748916There already is new, don't know why OP created it early and isn't linking it>>576744415>>576744415>>576744415
>>576749092Some board culture is to wait for page 10 first, I guess he's from one
>>576749770I know, but then why create it early. Either wait for page 9 or 10 to create it, or link it if you created one early so that somebody else doesn't create a dupe.
>>576747517Hawks are great in general, mandatory with SoT. Their ranged dps isn't that good compared to archers on foot but their ability damage is good and they have AP melee.Strong vs ground melee, shoot into their backs and charge from behind when out of ammo.Strong vs ground ranged, just charge them, don't get into a shootout.Okay vs air melee, can clear small units but struggle vs dragons.Strong vs air ranged, just charge them, don't get into a shootout.
