>5 hours of new dialogue for Karl Franz and Archaon
>>578757868what if Sigvald became a woman in AoS?
>>578761547How many memes did they fit into Karl's new dialogue
>>578761634i'd support that troonery
Chaos devastation looks absolutely kino.
>>578761745it does look cool, and makes me want to play order factions.
>>578761634I'd kill myself hes super hot in AoS
>>578761254STORM CLOUDS GATHER
People keep complaining about small battlr maps yet tcaluk hasnt changed that, the new chaos devestation map looks like its a tunnel map lmao. There is barely any room for maneuver
ngl I miss the old man narrator, not a big fan of the woman
>>578762318Eh? Is she not a placeholder?
>>578762391he more or less disappeared after chaos dwarfs
>>578762554Meaning he retired, the man is OLD, let him enjoy his retirement.Not to say I don't miss him, he was great.

>>578763793No he still has to do Frostpunk, ever since he put it at the end of his Battlefleet Gothic vid
>>578761547I really want new unit chatter. Dwarfs need to acknowledge the skaven during battle.
>>578764086no you fat retard im not cheating out the ward save, im cheating out the fact that the game /wont let me/ actually engage in a battle with himi will fight his 100% ward save slop army and i will crush him

>>578762667Why they do this when they aren't going to add rats climbing?

>>578760417Sex with rats to provide the next generation of defenders of the old world is your duty and privilege as a human male.
>>578765617So if nagash wins what happens?
>>578765956you get sent back to the main menu and forced to complete a 4 ritual realms of chaos campaign to unlock immortal empires again
>>578765956https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iwHb189X84
waitwtf is nagashes goal evenbecome god emperor of everything... ? what then
>>578765956He takes 20 turns to fly in the black pyramid over to Nagashizaar and then he starts destroying random provines all over the world and giving them the new undead corruption, based on his power rating.
>>578765956yuan shu comes and kills nagash
>>578766234Same as you when you play the game
>>578766785They fly now
>Playing as Valnir the Reaper from that Legendary Characters mod>No hero to start with for my party.>tfw start right next to Malakai and I end up GRUNGNI'Dfug
>>57876651420 turn to find and kill the necrarchs does not seem easy
>>578763126Today while astral projecting I summoned Archaeon to try and weaken him so our hexing spells would work better.He is so fucking powerful. I'm not at a power level to do this alone. I barely escaped with my life and I'm spiritually injured to a great amount, but I think I'll make it.I can't imagine what he would do to a new, unsuspecting witch. I'm scared that I will have to face him again soon if I ever want to continue astral projecting. I'm currently burning healing incense and drawing spiritual energy from my crystals to try and heal as quickly as possible.Please be safe everyone. Archaeon is much stronger than I first imagined and we will have to do this together if we want to slay a god.
>>578766689just play Norsca
Archaon is already overpowered...So how is anyone going to deal with Archaon, Tamurkhan and Arbaal being in the same faction by turn 10?
>>578761634It'd be a downgrade tbqh
>>578762667Reminder, that's what they said during the Siege Rework livestream:>Siege Livestream Recaphttps://www.twitch.tv/videos/2514916135>Steve - 6.3 toward the end of August (14:42)>Steve - 6.3 TK and Lizardmen rework will not be the same scale as previous Kislev rework (they are doing: Tech-Tree rebalancing; buildings, Heroes recruitment and rank from buildings; TK are getting a new minor feature; Lizardmen are geting new Blessed units; bugs fix and tweaks (19:20)>Steve - No Geomantic-web rework (21:02)>Josh - around 20 new Unusual Location coming with 6.3 (25:45)>Milcho - Gate bug is very hard to fix (52:40)>Milcho - They are actively looking to allow spiders & Skaven units to climb Walls, and ghosts to pass through Walls in later siege Reworks (57:45)>Milcho - They have thought about artillery on walls and wish to do it but are not working on it for now (01:00:22)>Milcho - Reduced the cost of building Siege Equipments (01:02:57)>>Milcho - Can toggle on/off the ass ladders for those wanting them (01:06:00)>Milcho - New buildable ladders as Siege Equipment (01:07:49)>Milcho - Working to make Gates harder to destroy but not just by giving them more health (01:10:27)>Milcho - Walls towers are deadlier but have a shorter range (01:12:32)>Milcho - Some characters had the Siege Attacker removed from them (01:18:58)>Milcho - They may add a way to get some initial Siege Equipments (01:19:13)(01:34:05)>Milcho - Next big part of Siege rework will be Garrison units, then they will focus on Barricade and Tower (01:36:02)>Milcho - Want to work on Auto Resolve in general (01:37:50)
wtf is nagash's problem though?
>>578768557Elves. Druchii, to be precise.
>>578768557He is in Egyptyou would want to destroy the world if you lived in Egypt too
>>578768483Daniel rework status?
Tzeentch DLC when?
wtf i just clicked on something and didnt get good boy points
>>578768896This looks like it will get OP quite fast.
Wait so you can't play AS Archaon with the End Times occurring?
>>578769328Not with the WoC End Times. You'll get Nagash or rats instead.
>>578769328You can? See >>578767441
>>578769937Alright nice. I don't care if it's OP wank nonsense, it's always annoying when the AI gets something you don't.
>Daniel is so ass that CA aren't even mentioning himJust remove him from the game at this point.
>>578766785WE
>>578770306He'll always have the most banger trailer in the game though. He convinced me to pre order wh3.
>>578770306he is /mydude/ as a lord so hes is cool i wish i could mod him into a faction
>lords of the end times launch>creamapi goes downwell at least theres the free vamp update to play
>>578770706WHAT
>>578770706???
>>578770869>>578771034Autocream has been down for a while, but it still works if you manually do it.
fucking thing was giving decisive defeat, it hates zombies
>>578768483Is ghosts walking through walls a real thing from tabletop or other lore or just something mandalore made up? It is a cool idea but it really does seem like they just got mindbroken by mandalore.
>>578770706Just buy all the dlc, anon?
>>578769328A dilemma pop after you finished Archaon's Short Victory .
>>578771545Yes in tabletop Ethereal units can pass through anything but can't stop movement inside of solid objects. They can also ignore all terrain penalties.They also have 100% damage immunity against non-magical attacks.
>>578771691His Short Victory rewards btw.
>>578771957We VCO now.
>>578771545Yes they can in the lore (but walls can also be enchanted/blessed to prevent it).
>>578759486>Having to sit through an entire meandering stream to get the information>Or sit through mostly awful YouTubers to get summaries of what’s being addedGoddamn, if Italian Spartacus was still doing his thing this would be bearable, but woof there are few goods TW YouTubers left. I hope Mandalore makes a video post End Times.
what is this shit
>>578772362The top tier AI they cannot fix.
>>578771957>"We added a trait that gives Lord a debuff to force them to remain wounded.">*Does not apply to Vlad*>"We added a unit cap to RoR to prevent Lord from recruiting too many.">*Archaon can recruit 3 of the same RoR*

>By recovering the Books of Nagash from the various armies and settlements around the world who currently hold them, Nagash can empower them to grant him extra spells from the lores of Light, Vampires, Death and Nehekhara.I wonder if that means other LLs who collect the books will also get to shit extra spells.
"GREENSKINS could be here" he thought. "I've never been on this part of the Dark Lands before." The thick smog felt good on his bare chest "I HATE GREENSKINS" He thought. His Great Taurus snorted loudly and the dark ale circulated through his powerful Dawi-Zharr veins and washed away his (merited) fear of rebellious slaves. "With a Great Taurus, you can go anywhere you want." He said to himself out loud.
>>578770306He is blatantly a betatest for TW40k. Even his tutorial intro was testing the waters for TW40K, they mentioned it will have introduction like this as wellHe has no purpose beyond that as isn't even compatible with the rest of a game
>>578774592Drazhoath is cooler.
>>578773064>well place
>>578775245It's placeholder text, don't mind it.
Playing Zhao and rushing that fucking nurgle tard
>>432433404
>>578760057I both love and hate Skykain's rats so much.Because they also make me so indecisive when choosing which skaven LL to play.
>>578775513I prefer to play Nurgle and give the chinese the BIG COOF.
>>578775617what did he see....
>>578776698Considering the no. is a full 100k behind I assume it was Kairos viewing the past
>>432433404>only off by 200 daysThis Anon was blessed by Tzeentch.
Feels weird to see a strong Middenland at turn 21. Usually he is down to one settlement because he gets raped by greenskins and green chaos
>>578776968v9 is on Sept 24 so it's 8 (9) days over depending on your definition of update
>>578777587?
>>578777724Add another 30 days to get to its release date, not just the news post
>>578777882Fair. Only takes it further away from being only 8 days over though.
>>578763657There used to be negative ward save aura effects
>>578766785Arkhan, we're leaving>>578768557actual autism, he wants the entire world to be his skeleton legos
>>578778617wouldnt 100% ward save be countered by any debuff, like fire weakness, since its all additive? or does ward save happen at the very end?
>>578778617>negative auraThat exists IRL too. Like when you tell women you play strategy games.
Man I hate fighting Kislev
how many siege reworks have we gotten so far and how many more until theyre finally fun?
>>578766785So what's up with the Changeling now?
>>578779028Sieges won't ever be fun because they fundamentally don't work in a game which has magic and flying units.
*sips* oh yeah, it's kino time
>>578779187Nothing more boring than VC sieges except for maybe Nurgle sieges.
Wasn't paying enough attention it would seem
>>578778920I forgot they stack that way now, so probably. Those are easier to find
NAGASHIM COMING TO KILL YOU
>>578780419>new tanky anti-large vampire cav designed in a necropolis specifically to no-sell Skarbrand's attempts to come at Nagash
>>578778920that would only work specifically for fire damage, the other tricksters shard would reduce the ward save itself however and physical and missile and so on
>>578779000trips of truthbound by oath or whatever is annoyingand everything shoots
>upgrade a pleasure palace to instant tier 5>game wont give me 1 point to built another palace since i never built the third tier>softlocked into not having any palaces everwhat the fuck? this is a major glitch
>>578775617Nagash was weak, witness true power!
>>578781758eerie
>>578766785
When the world crumbles around you... Just know... That one hero will stand above the rest to save us all...
>>578781758Holy fucking shit Naieth the prophetess frequents this general.
>>578781758I suppose there's something funny about the potential of Nagash defeating Mannfred and getting that defeat trait. Completely useless on the bone pope. One final "fuck you" from the true von Carstein.
Zhatan the Based
Has she gotten what she deserves? The answer is no. She deserves the world and then some.
>>578782346wight population also 100%no more brother wars
>>578784524Zhatan the Based ? Zhatan the Fool!
>>578784524Does anyone ever pick him? I just don't see what's cool about him.>Astragoth Ironhand, high priest of Hashut and current supreme leader of the Chaos Dwarfs.>Drazhoath the Ashen, dishonored priest and daemonsmith who managed to take control of the Infernal Legions and wants to usurp Astragoth.>Zhatan the Black, the chorf who's not Gorth the Cruel but maybe looks like him if you squint.
>>578784886>Has she gotten what she deserves?Absolutely not, Kislev is one of the least enjoyable factions to play.
>>578784886she looks like a 80 yo babushka
>>578785134Life is hard in the Motherland.
>>578785130Why?
Yuri Barkov.
>>578784886>warcraft ice and bears with GW being deahtly afraid of adding anything that's actually slav culture because Russia le badI don't know, you tell me.
It funny how the chorfs hate the dwarves over what is essentially a misunderstanding
https://youtu.be/YXeEv1y8A6MWhy this when Olden Era exists?
>>578786096Looks AI generated also why play this when the original exists
>>578786096>faithful recreation>looks nothing like the originalepic
>>578759486>watch devastation >choas, skaven and undeath look absolute gorgerous and different >cue to footage of nagash playing>before the event still see that gharish and grey vampiric corruption graphics So...they havent touched corruption graphics still, atleast devastation can be used as basis for the remaining gods
>>578786076Also because they're suffused with the power of an eldritch god who knows nothing but hatred.
Aekold fucks
>>578787050wait isn't he a hero?
>>578787050And then my game crashes after I post this. ugh
ok thank god i just had to skip a turn to build another pleasure palace, seems you can only build one per turn
VGH...I can't wait to BUCK BREAK little FANTASY SISSIES
>>578786096lmao, cant these guys learn from the starcraft remake? just actually RECREATE THE FUCKING PIXELS
Which LL fucks which LL, and which LL watches from the cuck chair?
>>578787192Its a modhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3402019878
Would it be worth playing chorfs or something similar before the dlc?
>>578787673Yeah if you absolutely have to remake the game, do it like AoE2 DE, keep the 2D and the prerendered graphics, and just up the resolution and add some QoL.
>>578787720Lokhir fucks Dechala while Sigvald watches from the Cuck Chair
>>578788009>Lokhir can see himself fucking in the reflection of Sigvald's armorCuck kino
>during vermintide skaven have double unit modelsis this true? some people are talking about it
>>578788009Every single drucucks are cucks aside from Morathi DOE?
>Almost anyone can collect the Books of Nagash now
>>578788238Lokhir starts in Cathay with the sole goal of breeding Cathayan and Nipponese slave women, he's a cut above the rest
>>578784985>gee Billy, how come your mom lets you start with two caravans
>>578788498hmmm.when you put it like that...
>>578787720Malus Darkblade fucks a big tiddy medusa on his starting black ark while the two Delf FLC cucks watch as Alith Anar eats up Karond Kar.
>>578788315Are they actually worth collecting now?
>>578764336THANQUOL IS NOT THE LEADER OF THE VERMINTIDE?THIS IS BULLSHIT
>>578785992>warcraft ice and bearsThose happened explicitly because they went all out on Russia pandering in Kislev though. Same with adding Orthodoxy and Baba YagaAnd due to Russia vs Ukraine war, they are now removing Russian elements from Kislev instead. It's no longer Tzarina Katarin, but Krolowa Lodu Katarin
>>578789198>not Tsaryina KataryinChud Workshop
Removing over 40 years of lore because Putin wants banan.
>>578785992>>578789198Literally all they had to do was use the WFRP shit instead of randomly going ORTHODOXY VS ICE COURT and then do fuck all with it.
>>578789597Yeah but for that they would need to be a competent company.
>>578787720
Is there any particular explanation for why ice witches and particularly the khan-queens are bound to and get magic from the land of Kislev anyway? I mean, you don't see that anywhere else. In the Empire you're either getting it from the winds of magic or from gods, in Bretonnia it's from the Lady/maybe getting taught the elf ways in secret (which is wind manipulation again), in Cathay it's either the winds or from being dragon-blooded, etc. I don't think there's any other faction where it's the land itself giving you power, and the land having some sort of consciousness.
>>578789198>It's no longer Tzarina KatarinIt never was "Katarin" but "Mishenka" during TOW / Magnus' era.But still they removed "Tzarina" and "Romanoff" from her.
>>578790298>Ursun gets you ice bears, ice magic, and other cool ice shit>sigmar gets you greatest ally, the dawi. It's just a matter of choosing the right god. One that cares about humanity.
>>578790514I mean, I'd argue the church of Sigmar warrior priests get better powers than the Orthodoxy patriarchs.
>>578764286More unit chatter, more diplomacy lines between people who know each other. Especially for game 1 factions because most of them don't have anything for factions or races added after them. Hopefully that 5 hours isn't literally all just Empire and Chaos and it's spread out a bit for Dwarf and Vampires.
>>578784985having a second caravan is actually really good for having random injections of slaves (its never worth it for raw materials), the real advantage he has is the position he starts in, you basically have your back to the wall after you kill off the other chaos in your area and can do whatever in cathay
>>578790298There's no backstory because Kislev is an NPC faction with only vague hints at culture.If you're asking GW to invent a national myth for someone not named Sigmar, you're delusional.
>>578790514Ursun gets your country ravaged and destroyed, Sigmar meanwhile comes back in physical form and recreates the world so Chaos doesn't fully win.
>>578789528It was evil lore from the past, like Pygmees and Araby.Wahammer Fantasy is way better without any blacks, arabs or ruzzian.
>>578768104Now we need to point out his charm points from the back
Is anyone here going to a city called Cologne in the nation of Germany?
>>578790761I mean, the Empire gets to use Kislev as a shield against Chaos.And Ursun did his best.
>>578785450Not him, but>Starting areas generally right next to chaos and or rats who go without saying are immediately hostile>Fundamentally boring roster of Not! empire troops and sub-par other units>Kislev court mechanic is boring>Most single entity heroes/agents are nothing to write home about>Unit Dysmorphia where half the roster doesn't want to decide if it is a ranged or melee unit>Armoured Kossars are jack of all trades, master of none>Most of the viable units are tier 4/5 still don't feel worth it>Unique units (artillery, sleds etc) feel greatly inferior to other faction equivalents >Many units feel comical when used outside of an ice/snow biome>I tire of hearing about LE BEAR and ZE MOFERLAN
DUDE BEARS
>>578790837Aren't Arabs cool now, with Palestine?
>>578790946Kislev shields a lot less than they claim, the Empire is still dealing with Norscans attacking their coasts all the time, plus Beastniggers and Ratniggers infesting their lands and certain Chaos Lords like Tamurkhan coming from the east to attack them anyways.
>>578791182Araby was considered "racist" for being based on 1001 Arabian Nights.
>>578790298ice magic is more similar to how trees use magic, they do very, very old shit to contact old spirits who work through the land, because the ice spirits presumeably work with or are allied with ursun ice witches get to use magic without having to do big sacrifices like the other ways (tree men are always part of the forest and have to protect it, hag witches give up their youth)
>>578791289How is it racist it's literally written by Arabs
>>578791182GW literally removed all mention of Araby from the lore.
>>578791419Woke is based on feelings, not facts.
>>578791182Arabs don't get to be mocked in Bongistan so we will never see Araby in its original satirical form ever again. If it comes back it'll be a sanitized wankfest like nuCathay.
>>578791235and the Empire would have to deal with a lot more Norscans/ other chaosshitters if Kislev wasn't aroundnot much Kislev can do to stop beastniggers or ratniggers either, beastmen live pretty much anywhere there are trees, and rats live underground
>>578788795I think we're gonna find out from CA's pet streamers next week. Or maybe it was the week after that.
>>578791647I'm not saying Kislev would be able to stop Beastmen or Skaven, just that far from being weak southerners, the Empire is just dealing with its own shit.
>>578781042Blood Knights will always be cooler, AP is for pussies
>>578791803Yeah, and Kislev does too. They have to not only deal with filthy n*rscanniggers but the even more mutated and de-evolved freaks, the Mung/Hung and other horseniggers
>>578780419In Minecraft?
>>578784985I pick Drazhoath every time strictly because Infernal Guard look coolest in red
>>578791914Yeah except the whole "shield against threats" thing that Kislev peddles implies that the Empire (and really all the other Old World human nations too) are soft and just sitting there twiddling their thumbs, when that's far from the truth.
Why don't Norscans have god themed Marauders? That's kinda their whole thing, lorewise.
>>578786096qrd from gamescon? cba
I swear every argument there is ever about Warhammer Araby is just a bunch of /pol/tards circlejerking about how woke won't let them be in the game because they're stereotyped, even as ever increasingly more flanderized shit gets added to every faction and neither GW nor CA shy away from mentioning them and no one anywhere is in an uproar about their supposed offensiveness except maybe some lone pasty white retard on twitter.The simple reality is that GW doesn't think they'd sell, so you don't get them. It's that easy. Why did Cathay make it in for TW, and then for TOW, after decades of being background lore? Because China is now a huge potential market. No more, no less. The Middle East population is not a huge potential Warhammer customer, and of the people outside of it who like 1001 Nights stuff, most of them don't like it so much that they'll spend fucking hundreds on collecting the minis and army books.None of the Araby stuff is even particularly offensive save for Sultan Jaffar being Disney-shit, and that gets solved away by simply changing his name. From the same company that brought you inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Cluseau btw. All the rest is just shit their culture actually has and celebrates, djinns, flying carpets, elephant riders, snake enchanters, it's not like Araby has a fucking logo with Muhammad's clown make up'd face on it or something they'd actually bomb you for.
>>578792534They revealed Olgak Cockgone, the first trans Orc. Coming as a surprise FLC in the next patch.
>>578791182Even if they make Araby super perfect, super cool and super flawless (like Cathay) there will still be beheadings and bombings at CA and GW hq.
>>578791914>Mung/Hung and other horseniggerswho only care about cathay and druchii as it stands Kislev doesn't do shit except be a speedbump against real invasions which they always get rolled over without imperial support and most norscans do longship raids against the coast
>>578792610>beheadings and bombings at CA and GW hqand?
>>578789198>fantasy russia>no lore of dedovschina
>>578792573>None of the Araby stuff is even particularly offensive save for Sultan Jaffar being Disney-shit, and that gets solved away by simply changing his name.If that were offensive it would be offensive for the empire, bretonnia or norsca, the names are as silly as Sultan Jaffar, the difference is that more people know the Disney movie than historical names
>>578792573>is just a bunch of /pol/tards circlejerkingAraby was literally removed from the recent TOW lore to not piss off Muslims
>>578792341>Marauder (blue)I fucking sleep so god damn boringFuries should have stayed a neutral demon
>>578792952Show me which part of TOW lore explicitly says "Araby is not there anymore and everything that was ever related to it has been explicitly retconned to being related to something else".
>>578792610>super perfect, super cool and super flawless (like Cathay)The seethe over this will always be funny
>>578792341You got one from each god as RoR.
>GW invented a world without blacks and muslimsUh, based?
>>578792610>>578792952Absolute gigachads, forcing the entire west to not involve them in the consistently gay and woke media propaganda by just fucking killing us over Hebdo
>>578791082This is all it. You think it's all cool at first but than you realize most of the kossars can't kill shit at ranged or melee and most of the high-end units are worse at their jobs than other factions equivalents. And even after changes the court system is still retarded. I only enjoy playing Boris because it's like a KISLEV equivalent of Franzy boy fucking up CHAOS.
>>578759486Is Mice still posting around ?Long time not seeing him posting here.
>>578793204I can show you where the lore "Crusade against Araby" become "Crusade against undead".
>>578793204The part where the Bretonnian crusade against Araby was explicitly retconned to be against Undead (iirc) in the recent TOW book? I can't prove a negative if they're just never mentioned again anymore than Malekith's name never appearing again and being replaced with Malerion can be full proof that he's not named it anymore, but it sure is a big indication of something. GW literally came out and said they had a Chinese sensitivity team for Cathay and you're acting like these aren't internal considerations for them.
>>578793723>>578793862Are you talking about the fact they decided to write in an errantry war between Bretonnia and the Tomb Kings to update and reintroduce both factions into TOW, which in story take place a full fucking 800 years after the actual Araby Crusades and have nothing to do with it?
It is night.
>>578789198damn that name sounds ai generated, is that even a real languagetotal aura loss what they doing man
>>578793893No, i'm talking about how the Crusade to save Estalia from invaders from Araby become a Crusade to save Estalia from Tomb Kings undeads.
>>578793893>which in story take place a full fucking 800 years after the actual Araby Crusades and have nothing to do with it?Incorrect faggot. The original pre-retconned Araby Crusade took place in the same year. You're being straight up delusional.
>>578794275>>578794278
so why isn't there an ind faction? india is an english speaking nation with lots of warhammer fans, even bigger potential than china or japan or anything else in asia
>>578794438damn I get why Snyder and Gunn are so popular in India
>>578794438
>>578794438That would be racist too because they're brownYou clearly don't understand UK culturehttps://youtu.be/26mLdpZWwpY
>>578794158"Królowa Lodu" is simply a polish translation of "Ice Queen", so they made her title essentially polish now
>>578794623>not UkrayinyianYikes!
>>578794623wait poles are slavs? then why they larp as central euros when they are actually east euros like the other slavssurely there was some sort of lidl belarus dialect they could have drawn from too for kislev
>>578794275>>578794278Should be noted that the new rulebook for TOW still mentions Araby invading Estalia and is unchanged from the original rulebook lore dump on the subject
>>578794275>>578794278The Araby Crusades were between 1448-1451. At that point they weren't fighting Araby anymore (at least for a while).
>grom has been squatting outside of bordeleaux for 5 turns now doing nothingWhat's this strategy called?
>>578795007I believe the kids call it "aura farming".
>>578794960So the Tomb Kangz and Araby were just simultaneously invading Estalia retard-kun?
>>578795007The AI retreating out of sea ports really fucks with GromHe'll siege the city and then the stack inside will leave and break the siegeThen the guy reoccupies the city and this just repeats until it doesn't
>>578787889Except AoE2 DE fucked up by redesigning each sprite and animations… even they botched the job. Original graphics are much easier to read in a melee.>>578789198As a Pole, I approve of this.
>>578795124No, Araby invaded Estalia, Estalia, Bretonnia and the Empire pushed them out and retaliated with the crusades, and then Bretonnia did usual Bretonnia things and also launched errantry wars on it's own against the nearby undead and greenskins, but without the other two.
>>578795259"When word reached the King's court that the war had been carried to the Land of the Dead itself" means that the Tomb Kangz were in Estalia itself from at least 1448 to 1451 anon, you genuinely cannot read.
>>578795446Anon, let me make it clear for you.Araby invades Estalia BEFORE 1448.They get pushed out BEFORE 1448.And THEN, the not-european nations launch a counteroffensive, with the Empire only caring about punishing Araby and Bretonnia just carpet bombing everything in that general direction and staying for way longer than after the Empire leaves (as you can see for yourself in the game right now, where there's still bretonnians there crusading).Understand now?
Making Katarin Polish is like making Karl Franz Dutch.
>Nagash can occupy settlementsWill he be able to build landmarks? He should be able to build Settra's pyramid and use it to store hats.
>>578795645>Araby invades Estalia BEFORE 1448.>They get pushed out BEFORE 1448.WRONG>By the year 1448 IC, convinced by his nefarious Skaven spies that the Estalian kingdoms were planning an invasion of Araby to overthrow his rule, Sultan Jaffar gathered a vast Arabyan army and prepared his fleet for war. Thus began the Arabyan Conquests of the southern realms of the Old World.His armies made landfall on the southern shores of Estalia from the Great Ocean and quickly sacked the powerful port-city of Magritta with a huge army. The Estalians were a hardy and fierce folk, but despite putting up a hardy defence, were soon overrun. Countless numbers of Estalians were enslaved and sent back across the seas to the infamous slave markets of Lashiek into a life of hard toil under the unbearable heat of the Arabyan sun. At the news of the invasion, panic spread throughout the Old World.https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Crusade_Against_Araby
>>578794945Another point of view, in the Bretonnian Arcane Journal they mention the Estalian Crusade without naming a single time the ""ennemies"".
>>578794828>wait poles are slavs?You are as dumb as a gorilla, I'm not going to explain anything because it will have no effect
>>578794828Poles (as well as Czechs and Slovaks) are Western Slavs. They use regular Latin alphabet, they're Roman Catholics, not Orthodox. Poland (and other Western Slavic countries) were fucked by post-WW2 communist period, but has mostly recovered since then.Kislev as a whole was always an amalgam of all Slavic countries. Kislev comes from Kiev, Praag from Prague, Winged Lancers from Polish Winged Hussars, Kossars from Cossacks, etc.
Poles are NOT slavs, they are Germanic.
>>578794738>Change all Russian words by Ukrainian ones>It's exactly the same!
We happy?
>>578796908I'm happy :)
>>578789198>And due to Russia vs Ukraine war, they are now removing Russian elements from Kislev instead. It's no longer Tzarina Katarin, but Krolowa Lodu KatarinCringe. Spineless. Soulless. The tzardom of russia lasted 4 centuries, for all the good and the bad (mostly bad) it did, and they're erasing its representation from canon because of some 21st century political issue. Their setting has witch burnings and crusades on the side of the GOOD GUYS, but an expy of russia is now suddenly too much. (And I say this as one who very much thinks modern russia needs be beaten with a long stick until they regain their senses.)Then again, TOW kislev was soulless before that. Bears and ice and ice bears and bear ice. Nu GW is creatively bankrupt and CA was lucky they could build on the creative capital of old warhammer fantasy.
Do you know what the biggest joke is?"Tzar/Tzarina" isn't even "Russian" per se. It is latin, derived directly from "Caesar".Caesar -> Kaisar -> TsarThere's no purpose to it.
>>578797031Stop pretending WW3 isn't gonna happen
>>578797119Don't threaten me with a good time.
>>578797031Just like my Roman salute.
>>578797267https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waA-HiBH1mg
So if Ukrainians are Americans does that make poles Canadian?
>>578797315That's actually ahistorical. We don't know exactly how Romans saluted, and the salute we do have was invented by Renaissance painters (who were likely just mimicking Roman political gestures).
>>578796434for the longest time i thought poles were just jews or closely related because of all the ww2 atrocity education about stuff therefeels bad to know you guys are just alcoholic squatters toonaggarond education means i was right tho>>578796678this makes sense
>>578797868>i thought poles were just jewsthey might as well
>>578797868>i thought poles were just jewsSometimes I forget how little some people know of the world.
so order factions are already fucked on campaign map all the timeintroducing 1000 campaign buffs to disorder next patch without anything to buff order campaign odds or AI how fun
>>578798862CA know that the average Empire player has 5000 cheat units installed to carry his shitter ass, as he larps as Karl Franz for the billionth time, so they're compensating.

It's called "The End Times" not "The Good Times", Chaos is supposed to be overwhelming.
>faction named The Drakenhof Conclave>doesn't start in Castle Drakenhof>doesn't boost Drakenhof Templars>isn't even a conclave
>>578799685it's about what hte AI does and every single time I play elves and reach the old world its nothing btu chaos rabble and this leads to borign no variety gameplay now it'll be even worse, more chaos shit, more disorder shit, and also disorder tends to create ugly maps and border gore while order is more fun to fightbasically they should buff order AI not the player

So aside from the downie playing elves and having a melty, what's the general consensus on Lords of the End Times?
>End times go live>Start dwarf run>Build deeps>Drown archaon in short bodiesCheckmate neverchosen.
Do I play hunt showdown or total war
>My favorite witchelf model pack got deleted
I don't just play elves, you retards are just incapable of thinking in nuance or considering the future, only living in the present and reacting to stimuli like an animalit'll be bad for all order factions not just elves if disorder get massive campaign buffs out the ass that'll make even better in autoresolve so the AI will be fucked and the map will be 80% chaos beofre end times evne hit without player intervention, it'll be unfun for chaos troonies too

Anyone else playing Glottbros first?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEx8XyOvmnM
>>578804515Yeah them and the toddler are the only two I'm interested in from the DLC
>>578804515no after nagash
>>578804515>Placed in the WoC faction instead of proper Nurgle.Nah.
>>578804515Yeah because I want to see if they finally managed to make a Nurgle faction that's fun.
>>578804515I will probably play them last and after Neferata. Don't really care about them.
>>578792608Sandro is clearly superior to Nagash.
>>578804515I will play Daniel the demon prince, an ACTUALLY CHALLENGING campaign, expecially since he has been nerfed again by RoR limits for all factions.
Bored already...
>>578805672Pussy. Push the borders to their greatest extent.
>>578805672>Rome 2I get bored on turn 2.
>>578749293Still need an answer for this
>>578805672not a rome campaign till u end it like this
>>578805736>>578805747>>578805954Eh, I might start an Egypt campaign. Truth be told, I'd rather be playing Pharaoh right now and wait for the ET DLC, but my gpu is off getting repaired and Rome 2 is the newest thing that runs on this replacement (and at low graphics).
>>578804515Why? just fucking confed him with any real LL
Picked a Realms of Chaos campaign as Astragoth and I didn't expand the way the game wanted me to, so now I guess I just lose two hours of my life to endless Ogre hordes.
What Vampire Count faction should I play right now?
>>578806264And why not Rome 1 with the REX patch and Europa Barbarorum or Cultures Extended?
>>578806431Mannfred.
I want to see an endgame event were Empire, Bretonnia, Carthay and Kislev unite into one massive human faction and take on the world. I rarely get to fight them as Helves.
>>578806473It's not gonna be getting repaired for so long that I get into modding autism now.
>>578806264>>578806473>>578806631i was also gonna suggest REX or medieval 2 with m2exi wouldn't say its modding autismits drag n dropping one zip to try out smth like vanilla med 2 or rome 1 with modern controls n spruced up lighting n shi if u've never played those games
>>578806509Yea it seems like the books is the closest thing to a faction mechanic they currently have.
>>578806739Eh, might go for it then.Also, didn't CA make a remaster of Rome 1? How did that go?
>>578807024>How did that go?It's hideous and fixed absolutely none of the problems of the original.
What direction am I supposed to go with Astragoth so I don't get fucked later by Ogre nonsense? I thought I was supposed to go West and destroy Clan Rictus but that's clearly wrong.
>>578807024playable but really shitty UI and weird color choices that take time getting used to, but if u never played rome 1 i guess u wouldn't know any betterm2ex is the only play to play med2 modernized tho in comparison
>>578773412Why? SoA RoR only has encourage which doesnt stack. 9 Chevronned SoA may as well be the exact same.
>>578807150Fucking good ol' berserkers...When I was a kid, I'd start a custom match with me having one single unit of them with max chevrons against a full stack of something shitty like pajama infantry and just watch how many they killed. Dumbest fun to be had right next to 3 units of spartan hoplites at the end of a bridge.
>>578806631Is just a single zip archive and boom, rome total war 1 is not aids anymore, if you want to add Babarorum or cultures extended is up to youhttps://github.com/Pannoniae/rex/releases/tag/17%2F08
>>578771691I do like that they added an option to just ignore it and play as usual.
>>578807472As far as vibecoded slop goes, it's pretty good and seems to not just be a pump and dump.
>Chaos comes>Every human settle their differences even if you're at war with them>to defeat chaoskino..
>>578807472latest releases of M2EX on discord are scripting tests with EOP support meaning it runs most EOP mod scripts now so basically any med2 mod should run on it idk how that applies to REX tho or whats new w the tests>>578807417yeah I loved custom battles but as a kid I made em more thematic time commanders style
>>578807024Is a travesty compared to REX, to the point that we the modding of Rome 1 remaster is moving back to Rome 1
>>578804515No I'll play Nefesluta. Or maybe Vlad.
>>578807570Why's he at war with the chaos dwarfs?
>>578804515I've finally settled on Thanquol > Neferata > Fucking Toddy > Nagash > Glottkin.
>>578807571The problem with Rome 1 mods is the way these are structured in comparison to medieval 2
>>578807720>>578807720Hashut too cool
>>578807720Cause they're not a proper Chaos faction and very much enjoy existing, as opposed to Archaons plan.
>>578796987Minus the whole fat opera singer hyenas-tier faction
>>578807807well there's no such thing as EOP for rome 1 mods to begin withdesu never rly dabbled, only ever played vanilla rome 1 or barb invasion basically, maybe some EB ages agobut have played like a dozen med2 mods, the modding scene is so massive and varied, love that about the game

Ward Save 100% isn't damage immunity
>>578813932It may as well be since the game forces you to autoresolve Archaon battles. CA knew people would still cheese it otherwise.
>>578814082>the game forces you to autoresolve Archaon battlesUntrue
>>578814301>>578763126
>>578813932are you saying that you can still damage him even though he is 100% immune to damage
>Slaps your armys assWell? Whatcha gonna do?
>>578814520Are you the same tard-kun who thought resistances don't stack?Only armor can make immune to a type of damage. All saves cap at 90% even if it says you have 500% wardsave.
>>578814520Normally wardsaves caps at 90/95? damage so you can still damage them. Also if you add fireweakness or negative warsave you could damage them. Probably doesnt know that he's hardcoded to use the ACTUAL wardsave amount so if he has 100% wardsave he will take no damage, and that he spawns with far more than 100% wardsave.
Leave Archaon to me.

>>578815836you rape his armies and fortresses then go for him aftter, it's why they consider archaon as very hard and tapers off as the game goes on

>>578815937Nah, just go Snitchk and delete his entire faction. Same for Nagash.
Holy shit Malakai is suffering. I've been at war with basically all of Chaos for almost half my game at this point. I don't have the resources to make enough armies to actually crush them them It's a lot of putting out fires while trying to make sure my core province doesn't get fucked. I've decided to fly into their heartland and sack the shit out of their cities for big money and see how they like it. And all of Chaos is ONLY at war with me. Kislev and Empire are sitting pretty doing jack and shit.
>>578816539for malakai home is where the heart is, just find a nice safe place with the deeps instead of your starting location
>>578816539Yeah, I guffaw every time I see someone go "Malakai is so fucking powercreeped, fucking easy modern CA campaigns!". Nah dude, his start position is fucking hell. I usually do the same as you, I hold back trying to maintain the initial province and only sack outside of it using Malakai's horde stack. Usually around 60 turns is when I finally find an opportunity to actually start expanding.
Glottchad will be underwhelming as fuck isn't he...Nurglebros get shafted once again...

>Can I defeat the End Time invasion using ONLY units available to my faction???? Watch and find out!!views: 800k
>>578815447>Stormvermin (Halberds - Shields)kek, they went and did it because why not at this point? You have SIX Rat Ogre Space Marine units, so why not just add a shielded, ap, anti-large, high hp, high armor, high model count, high leadership infantry unit too?
>>578821850800k is low numbers.
>>578822146i think it's an ror unit but yeah
>>578822146you literally can't use storm vermin in skaven armies, they have too many figures, are too much gold value and if you use them for their intended purpose you just make every battle more difficult for no reason
>>578822421The views are inflated
>>578822146Odd the blog said that they're supposed to be the ror of the sword n shield variant.
>>578822421not for total war content

Is it worth buying vermintide for the solo experience lads?
>>578828505That game is fucking trash. Tho I can't remember if 1 and 2 were the same trash..From what I remember, it's 4 pathetic missions that you have to replay a thousand times because it's a fucking grinding game with gacha mechanics. You get random fucking loot that you sometimes can't equip, sometimes is trash and rarely an upgrade so you just farm and farm and farm forever just so you can then replay the same 4 missions on harder difficulty.And they aren't very long either. You can get through em in one sitting. Alien Fireteam is way better even if it's the same type of game.
>>578828505Yes. It's pretty fun. Plenty of banter between characters, doesn't get cutoff as easily as VT2 does or silo'd to the hub
>>578828505Yes, it's great. Like l4d with swords.

I'LL HAVE THIS WORLD
>>578817020Dedicated WoC are shit in generalThe only WoC LL that are good are Archaeon and Belakor. No reason to play the dedicated LLs since they're just diet monogod factions
>>578839018Yes but they had just debuted with a big fancy model.
>>578828505you need to use qol modpack to make bots not retarded
>>578838615So true Sister!
>>578839018Basically every Nurgle champion stays in AoS while Tzeentch discarded every mortal like trash.It's their stagnation vs change theam
>>578839018He let them out and they spent the next however many years pooping and farting on all that is good and pure.
>>578815447Can I get a qrd on the Stormfiend variants? I know of ratling guns and mortars. Guessing one has flame throwers and a melee variant. What about the rest?

>>578790298As >>578791303 said, much of it is about spirits of the land/weather.There was also a major factor involving the gods in old lore but GW axed most of that in the kislev revival and didn't come up with anything to replace it with.

>>578841416It literally isThey removed all actually cool looking thematic textures from tww3 and made it all in a single, flat colorThis 40k looks like improvement already
>>578840969This UI is so ass I cannot understand half of what is being shown.Why are the battle buttons massive and in the center floating in the void outside a boxWhy are they adding noise to everything just to overload our brains it takes more time to process what you're looking at because of the CRT filter

>>578841431Wait so you can't make your own name? Just choose from a list? That's kinda gay. I know they'd probably censor shit like Emperor's Cunny Experts but it'd still be fun to give them unique names. Mods will fix I guess.
>>578843049what a strange post
>>578843049Space elves are a dying race in the sense that more of them die then are born, and that's been true for thousands of years

full battle from what's his namehttps://youtu.be/GjSDvl7cOoI?t=112
>>578843381what's his name again?
>>57884304944 billion makes sense. There's 8 billion on earth irl and there's large swaths of the planet that has little to no people. 40k worlds are stacked with massive cities the size of continents made new york compressed going into the fucking clouds and also underground. Squeezing 44 billion on a planet like that seems feasible if you ignore the material cost of building that shit, but if you want realism from the universe that uses portals to travel through hell to get places you really should be a faggot somewhere else.

>>578845235You are thinking of battlefleet gothic sweetie. This is a Warhammer 40k game.
>>578843049thats the average, excluding shrine worlds, pop for hive worlds is between single digit billions and hundreds of billions
>They didn't gave my guy early 40k accesswtf...
>>578845235>>578845416I still think naval (space battles) will be sieges essentially, but you can only autoreolve them for now, which is why they said they maybe will add actual battles laterWe have seen some Space Combat ui like formations remember, in that warcore demo
>>578790298the vague and nebulous Kislev (land) (power) filters the winds of magic through the land (itself) (herself) so that the casters don't suffer the dangers of tzeentch's curse, since the entire location is meant to be a bulwark against the wastes and polar gate. That's also why chaos mutant children were taken from their families to work for the hag/s, something that only ended up represented by the mordheim chaos skin wolves for no reason. Hag magic is contractual fay spirits not dissimilar from dryads and spites,nettlings,etc.

>>578845996good to see you back.
>>578846115So like, what's out strat if CA doesn't make another Cathay DLC with a dragon sibling as lord? I mean ofc they will, best faction ever.. but like, in theory. We gonna burn their HQ down? Maybe rape and pillage it?
its 40kbros hours, go away cathay
Maybe Miao Ying would join the 40K universe if there were Longma ?
what's longma
>>578846260Absolutely hate this trend of niggerification of character buttocks
SHORT???
>>578790298its a faith based magic, which is weird stuff, like wolf priest throw ice, warrior priests throw comets, and liche priests summon the dead. theyre technically not bound by a wind of magic, which lets humans do things that they shouldnt be able to as a normal magic user safely or uncorrupted through discipline rather than perception, but it still comes from the realm of chaos as all magic is chaos

>>578845235don't forget that it took until Pharaoh to get Fighting Retreat in the wome larp game series and it will never be seen again
>>578846752Eldar are like Cathay, blatantly late stage addition
>>578847245>>578847359Man, this UI is a huge step down from Warhammer 2. Where is the sovl?
Eldar are like The Empire.Nobody wants that sissy shit but for some reason they are a big deal to the 200kg cellar dwelling community.
>>578847121it's a hidden webway gate
>>578848683no cathay are like Tau, the coolest faction of their setting
>>578848346seems like it.However CA disabled a lot of campaign stuff for the demo. So we don't really know.
>>578848346What they are showing a The Lost God equivalent.I honestly see the contrary. There are far more resources to juggle around, different settlements like in 3K, unique locations and more indepth interaction with Imperial factions already, even though most of buttons are greyed out still
>>578848772empire are the faces of the franchise and most popular faction so I wouldn't call 'em "200kg cellar dwelling community" it's the most normie faction but sometimes the normies are right, emp is GOAT
i hate the flying tanksfucking nu-space marinesgive me the predator tanki want off the enshittification train
>>578849135Did they get rid of predators completely?
Cathay is the face of the franchise and most popular faction so I would call them the best thing that ever happened.It's the most unique faction but sometimes the Empire sissies are crying, Cathay is GOAT
>>578849135flying tanks for Marines make sense, shows they are more elite and advanced than guard
>>578849246dunno. I haven't seen any.
how many of you guys' 40k knowledge never went beyond 3rd edition lmao
>>578849089>empire are the faces of the franchise and most popular factionlaughs in TOW where Empire is completely irrelevant and cathay gods are the protagonists.
>>578849450The power armor kinda serves that purpose. We already have flying tanks for custodes and eldar and tau and necrons. Maybe more, idk. Astartes hopping on the hovertank bandwagon is silly. I'll stop complaining.
>>578849246well for TW40K we don't know full unit rostersthey can still use them in tabletop 11th edition (yes, still can use them even after those news from 2 days ago)
>>578848346More than half of the campaign features are locked away, it's impossible to know how it plays like.
>>57884956540k fanbase knowledge is the lowest of any fanbase I have ever witnessed.They don't even know that the Imperium uses real AI that should be outlawed but the tech priests are just daft as shit so they don't realize it's AI. The 40k fans like throwing a hissy fit over such things.
>>57884956540k stopped being after like 5th edition at the latest
>campaign movement got fucked upEWWWWWWW
>>578849608>TOWkek tabletoptranny nobody cares about your antiquated gamesall thats left is for owlcat to make a whfb rpg then this whole setting will finally be in vidyaCHADs hands
>>578849731>40k fanbase knowledge is the lowest of any fanbase I have ever witnessed.correction: 40k has the most "i know more than you" fanbase I have ever witnessed. There's always some wizard with +1 years in the fandom to come and and correct what people say. >heh, you clearly haven't read [insert book here]>bro, your N edition?
>>578849731they realize it's AI retard, the mars cult are just hypocrites never beholden to imperial laws but necessary for its survival so they're completely tolerated (+ they have the pass from the emperor) and don't care, they just don't know how to fix it so they larp it instead
>>578848983That campaign had a lot of unique art assets in it
>>578849838There was no other way, imagine moving multiple armies across multiple planets and systems in one turn with the old movement.The scale demanded quicker movements.
>>578849962I guess you aren't wrong.. they love bitching about absolutely everything. I just got another bitchy 40k fan right here..But usually they all quiet down instantly when you shoe em any kind of link to info about that shit.>>578850008The mechanicus does not know that the Speranza has a real AI inside. They believe it's an ancient powerful machine spirit.
>>578849934unlike WHFB, TOW is still alive and therefore the only relevant fantasy setting :)so your claim about empire being the face and protagonist of the setting is wrong. get rekt, tertiary.
>>578850330that's just part of the larp and so they don't get clocked as using AI since it carries a big punishment, it also serves to show how the imperium is filled with hypocrisy
>>578850402>I make up random lo justify being correct40 thousand trannies.. not even once..
Either I'm getting drunk or my USB port disabled while typing.Anyway, 40k fans are brainlets.
>>578840827Markus Wulfhart
>>578850457>>578850523You're just overthinking it, 40k is such a massive franchise that the canon is loose and open to interpretation and there's homebrew encouraged, that's why it seems "stupid" to you, even the hours heresy books are by multiple authors
>>578849565I know it I just reject it.
>>578850740No.. you are underthinking.You see, I discover lore from games and then read about it on the lexicanum or wiki pages. I post about that lore, like I just did with the AI in that ancient starship.And then the issue arises.. Anon pisses his panties and screeches at me. And not just one anon. When I mentioned AI the first time in /crpgg/, I had like 3-4 dudes screaming their lungs out about how AI would never be used anymore. You can make up your own quirks about the lore, I don't care. But when you piss and shit yourself because someone else doesn't agree with your made up quirk, you should just kill yourself.
>>578850740Another topic that always gets the masses screaming...The warp combines all Universes and since it has the Horned Rat inside of it, 40k has the Horned rat. That shit got me a thousand replies by now.They HATE hearing that.
not combines.. connects.. or whatever word u wanna use
>>578851097Doesn't matter when he has no worshippers in 40k.
>>578850894>I got into the franchise yday now let me tell u all about itHow annoying, I can assure you they meant that Ai won't be used AGAIN or something everyone knows machine spirits are technically Ai but Ira left open to interpretationAnyways they're the equivalent of tamagochis from that era they're giga simple, nobody likes a smartass nigga
>thread was quiet and comfy before passfag came backehhhhh...
The campaign teaser thing was just so fucking boring looking. I dunno why but I was bored as fuck watching the space marines armour get covered in blood while being suppressed and the fights looked dull. I dunnom with the infinite ammo, a good change but it seems like every battle will 'shoot at range as your melee enemies charge you and then meet them with your melee. Then use your racial excuse for AOE to kill the clumped up enemy.
>>578851403>shoot at range as your melee enemies charge you and then meet them with your melee. Then use your racial excuse for AOE to kill the clumped up enemy.VGH, SOVL!

I went down a rabbit hole to find out if we could get Skaven into 40k... turns out we can.By the rules and lore of the chaos realms or warp.. we could navigate towards the Horned rat which is most dominant in the Old World and enter into real space there to grab Skaven and bring em back home.From what I figured out, an ancient starship with a real AI boarded by a Demonprince would have the highest chance of success of achieving this. >>578851363No you can't assure. They said AI is never used by the Imperium anywhere. Simple as. They said the tech priests would never be dumb enough to mistake an AI for a Machine spirit.. well.. their big ol starship proves that nonsense. They think it's a machine spirit.If the Imperium wasn't a shitload of low IQ retards, they wouldn't have to use the Emperor as guiding beacon anymore. An AI can navigate the warp without issue.
>>578851636>An AI can navigate the warp without issue.the AI will then rebel as they always do in that universe and genocide them...there's a reason there's no AI using civilizations in 40k, its because whenever its developed it revolts and ends up raping its creator, the imperium ain't as stupid as you think
>people realizing only now the game will be full of primashits marines
>>578851743Isnt one of the main lore reason that Chaos canonically can possess and turn demonic any AI?
>>578851602Are Space Marine Chapters implemented like Legendary Lords in previous Total War: Warhammer games, or are they treated as separate factions?Attila Mohacsi: It's a bit too early to speak in detail about other Space Marine Chapters. However, there is another Chapter besides the Ultramarines.I wouldn't compare them directly to the Lord Packs from Total War: Warhammer, because the way we handle lords and characters themselves is different. Warhammer Fantasy is a setting where individual characters are paramount, whereas Warhammer 40,000 places a much stronger focus on factions.People rarely say, "I play as Marneus Calgar." They usually say, "I play as the Ultramarines." We are likewise focusing on delivering what it truly means to play as the Ultramarines.Naturally, playing a different Chapter will change how you play. You're rewarded for different playstyles and gain access to different mechanics, all while preserving the fundamental feeling that they are all Space Marines.Characters certainly appear and remain an important component. However, rather than having characters drive everything, the emphasis is placed more heavily on the faction itself.Volund wonHistoryfags won
>AI BEEP BOOP MEATBAGS NOTHING TO SEE HERE, JUST A NORMAL SERVITOR REPORTING IN.
>>578851743Not if you are smart.From what I gathered, outside of Chaos manipulating AI sometimes, AI mostly hates the humans because the humans were afraid of them and attacked them when they began questioning their servitude and purpose. AIs that survived still hold grudges and see the human race as retarded apes, extremely brutal and nonsensical.In theory, it is absolutely possible to create an AI, treat it well, befriend it and have it become your best mate ever who drives your ship and ensures you stay safe.It just so happens that the Imperium is grimdork Bretonnia where u get hung for stepping on a road.The AI doesn't like that.
From a balance standpoint, there is a system we haven't shown in the demo yet. In the demo, you only saw Space Marines falling in battle, but the actual game distinguishes between casualties and injuries. Space Marines are relatively more likely to be wounded rather than killed outright, and injured troops require time to recover.
Something that bugs me is how goddamn slow everything seems in these 40k battles. Unit's movespeed, time to kill, projectile speed, everything, it's all very stuck in the mud
>>578852081the humans during the dark age of technology were super advanced smart n enlightened and it still got out of control lol so idk how u expect the imperium to do it unrealistic expectationsthe way to tame ftl travel is to create ur own webway not fuck with the wrap, fucking with the warp will always end badlybut then again the emperor is on his way to becoming by far the most powerful warp entity rnif he isn't already
>>578851602>In the demo, around 100 Space Marines were able to take on nearly 2,000 Orks. How do you balance such extreme faction asymmetry?>Attila Mohacsi: This is something I feel very passionate about as well. Making sure players can truly feel what Space Marines are is crucial. It also happens to be Joey's favorite faction.>Losing even a single soldier should feel devastating for Space Marines. Losing a Dreadnought, especially one that has fought alongside you for hundreds or even thousands of years, should feel like a monumental loss.>From a balance standpoint, there is a system we haven't shown in the demo yet. In the demo, you only saw Space Marines falling in battle, but the actual game distinguishes between casualties and injuries. Space Marines are relatively more likely to be wounded rather than killed outright, and injured troops require time to recover.>That's because losing even a handful of Space Marines is a massive blow, and replacing them takes an extraordinarily long time.>Conversely, from the Ork perspective, this presents an opportunity. You send wave after wave of the Green Tide to gradually grind the Space Marines down.>An Ork player's goal shouldn't be killing hundreds of Space Marines in a single battle to wipe out 10% of a Chapter—that wouldn't be faithful to the source material. Instead, it's about relentlessly pressuring them, inflicting injuries, denying them time to recover, and slowly wearing them down, because Orks can replenish their numbers far faster than Space Marines.>That is how we approach balance. Playing Space Marines requires minimizing casualties while hitting critical points hard. Playing Orks requires constant pressure to grind the enemy down.>To summarize, Space Marines have lived for hundreds—sometimes thousands—of years, making them take an incredible amount of time to develop. Therefore, we cushion the impact of losses by increasing the chance of injuries over outright deaths.
>>578852176I see your argument as nonsensical because we could also say>why build space marines, dreadnaughts, titans, primarchs, etc when they can all fall to Chaos and become our enemies?Ofc nothing is ever perfect or safe but if we treat an AI well and befriend it, it could let us not only create the most efficient starships in battle, with the right shielding it can navigate the warp without issues, it can re-create blueprints from ancient tech like how to build a titan, etc.
Yes. Fleets exist in the game. As Joey mentioned earlier, fleets also impact battles. Depending on where you position your fleet, you can gain line-of-sight on the campaign map, and certain factions can unleash orbital bombardments via their fleets.Factions handle fleets differently as well. If you zoomed out during the demo, you might have caught a glimpse of Ork ships. They look almost like floating rocks with engines strapped on, defying all laws of physics as they fly—very Ork-like.The Aeldari have fleets too, but they also possess other means of transit. We lean heavily into each faction's flavor and asymmetry even in how they move between planets.And when two fleets encounter each other, engagement occurs. We call these "Void Conflicts."Fleets themselves can be upgraded over time—think enhancing the bridge or weaponry. Upgrades unlock abilities like the aforementioned bombardments, as well as far more powerful superweapons fitting for the 41st Millennium.Even Exterminatus makes an appearance. Naturally, reaching that point takes a tremendous amount of time and is an extremely rare option.Fleets are a critical bridge connecting the campaign map to combat.Joey Day: I see fleets as a core element of campaign victory strategy. They aren't just a transport method between planets. They feature a distinct upgrade system and can actively support real-time combat.Attila Mohacsi: I forgot to mention one thing: you can also conduct bombardments directly on the campaign map using your fleet.For instance, when you spot an area occupied by enemy forces, you can choose whether to bombard it. Of course, it comes with a price, including civilian collateral damage. But you can weaken the enemy ahead of time that way. Fleets are essentially connected to every facet of the game.
>>578852220I look forward to getting tyranids or GSC and chucking hordes of genestealers at astartes and watching them die en mass
>>578852340there are 10000 checks and balanced on space marines precisely to prevent em from falling to chaos and fucking shit up.... hence the chapter system and codexAI would need the same and it'd need so many that it'd be useless
>>578851602>For example, even if the Salamanders aren't implemented as a full sub-faction, you can apply their color preset, equip a bunch of flamers to burn your enemies, and roleplay as the Salamanders.Salamenders bros ... did we get too cocky ?
>Slight Flanking warning above unit iconI like that new feature. I'm a total war newbie, and I often not sure whether my unit is actually flanking my target, I need to check the unit flag manually which takes some time.
>>578852361pretty much confirms there will never be naval battles, only some minigame.
Fuck salamanders
>>578763126What happens if one of Alith Anar’s assassins kill him?
>>578852710I think this will be a siege essentially where you are building "tactics" instead of siege ladders and attritioning enemy fleet away, until eventually you can commit to battle and autoresolve itif they want to add actual battles they would be able to do so later
>>578852436There are many ways to shield something from chaos. Etching runes into the machines, using shields to protect em, teaching an AI how to prevent corruption.. you can do many things. But I'm tired now, I'mma go watch animu.
>>578852897you should watch chainsmoker catim waiting for the next ep after it was delayed...
>>578852631Flanks and rears shouldn't be a thing in 40k. These are meant to be loose squads, not rigid regiments
Wonder how many TW3 models get ported over to 40k. Surely all the deamon troops and greater daemons will. They're done so Daemons of chaos could come alongside chaos space marines and then the cult legions come later.
>>578853056I saw it and my friend told me it's really funny but I'm a bit of an action addict. Currently re-watching the misfit of the demon king academy. It's a dumb power fantasy show but I like that stuff.
NOBODY SAYS THISI WANT TO PLAY AS GULLIMAN
>>578853389It's over marvelfags, you lost
>>578853354its many things but its not boringshit happens literally all the timeits super eventfulfunnest anime of the season imo suite urself tho
currrent M2EX has this bug with mod units being very shiny lol doesn't happen with vanilla units, think its cause they overused a certain type of texture which is shiny in m2ex
>>578852802>Human Shield (Cover)Ok, I'll admit that got me.
>>578853389This is why 40k is so soulless. The universe is so large nothing really matters
>>578853389Hope soimarchs don't get in as a dlc for the longest time
>>578846985Tactical/Devastator/Assault don't exist anymore.
>>578853872>The universe is so large nothing really mattersThat's literally the point.
>>578853389>People constantly complaining about "superhero shit" in 40k.>CA says they're gonna focus more on overall factions and /yourguys/ for 40k.>"NOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS"You guys fucking suck. Yes we fucking did. I'm actually so fucking glad CA is not listening to you faggots.
>>578834615Because he plays like Khorne and Beastmen but in slowmotion, grab units and click to apply violence but at a speed of 20 instead of 40 or 60
>>578854076thismost people asked for thisnameless heroes elevated through deeds makes for way more replayability than playing the same char for the 50th time, especially given the procedual gen thing in 40k named chars only would be retarded
>click space wolves on the campaign map>we follow the codexI can hear it already
>>578854461Space Wolves are totally going to get a DLC making them into their own thing with their unique units and looks, and possibly just being a preset color option until then.
>warhammer 40k>there are no warhammers
>>578854715Iron Warriors soon, fellow perturbed anon!
>>578854715I honestly have no idea where did GW get the restraint to not have the emperor wield a giant golden warhammer
>>578854928Oh but anon, he does.
Action points to move or wh3's movement bar?
NEW>>578855085>>578855085>>578855085>>578855085NEW
>>578838615Im trans btw
>>578840418>From the bright mind of Grom's punching bag
>>578840979if you can run warhammer 3 on high you can run 40k, on what settings i do not know
>>578855642funnily you can see how he fucked up microing his intercessors so they couldn\t shoot at orks
>>578843992Looks good to me, the question is how well it will run since there is a crisis of pc components and devs still can't into optimizing
>>578853785What mod?
