Nice choices anon. I like all of them.

I'd like to see a missile specialist hero on horseback, a Yeoman Captain, like a 1 man mounted yeomen archer crossed with a skink chief hero. Can buff mounted yeomen units and herrimault too.

Also a missile support specialist like a Sergeant-at-arms to buff the peasant mobs/men-at-arms units/peasant bowmen, and trebuchets/other new artillery pieces.

Another hero could be a melee support hero called a Pilgrim Zealot or something. Like a 1 man battle pilgrim. Hauling around loads of shit he's picked up from fallen allies and defeated enemies, anything to give him good luck and bring bad luck to the enemy.
Buffs grail reliquaes and battle pilgrims of course. Provides a range of debuffs for the enemy.

It looks far more indepth currently and based on 3k at it's core
Look at this single building, it has few mutually exclusive paths ending at different tiers so you get to decide between short or long term investment. This is how buildings in 3k and previous Warscape nonWarhammer titles work like
We know that behind tech tree are locked and weapons and some other features
We know they don't want to let us doomstack so powerful units will be capped and limited by resources
Marines have anti-wide mechanic built in by default
You have flavorful diplomatic options (like in 3k) we know this already
Nagash tech tree is an example of 40k tech tree complexity
etc
>>579238215
Grifters only want to complain and have no real convictions
Which is why 40k is so funny, it's doing EVERYTHING they wanted all along so they struggle with finding something to complain about and just flip flop between random shit
Look at this >>579237681
This is EXACTLY what they wanted since combating line of sight issues will require using terrain and spreading units into thin formations, which AI cannot handle. They very reason why it was disabled in TWW after all so AI can use gunpowder units reliably. But that caused that short video to be made they keep spamming even here. And now they still complain about getting what they wanted.
>>579238620
WW2 is the obvious way. It's the most popular setting in the world. If you can make 40k, you can make WW2. It's why Relic made WW2 game after 40k.
Star Warfags were always retarded
>>
>>579238950
uhh that vid looks like trash tho
I think people that want sightlines for gunpowder want gameplay such as empire or napoleon or FOTS with kneeling formations

If they add a Missile Specialist they should do it as one of the Faceless.
In fact if CA want to be silly with it (though potentially this might cost too much), The Faceless Legendary Lord.
Buffs peasant units, cannot have Knight Units in his army but can get upgraded peasants, and can have knights in other Lord's armies.
But the silly part is They have like five different people do his voice, four men, one woman, where every few turns it swaps between them to show it's different people taking the mantle.

Probably.
I know the Bright Wizards have a legend that one day a female bright wizard will show up who will be the absolutely most destructively powerful wizard to ever exist.
Female Wizards are rare, and female bright wizards are extremely rare in old lore.
In old lore your wind of magic tended to be based on your personality/traits, so naturally women were more drawn to light/heavens/life iirc.

>>579244432
Morathis told him a (fake) prophecy in which he will be killed by a male dark mage elf. So he banned magic for males due to her advice. This was just a ploy of hers to monoploize magic to herself and her coven.But them again Ariel also banned dark magic usage amongst male asrai so who knows.
>>
>>579244035
According to the lore it's not any more rare for women to have magic as it is for men to have magic, it's just people are more likely to accuse a women with magic of being a witch while a man with magic is assumed to be a wizard in training so they're more likely to get sent to the college instead of to a witch hunter.

>>579244432
Malekith has most of them killed, in a classic bid to avoid death by prophecy.

"And lo, he shall rule with a dark hand and his shadow shall touch upon every land. Steel will be his skin and fire will be his blood, in hatred will he conquer all before him. No blade forged of Man, Dwarf or Elf shall endure him fear. Though will it come to pass that the firstborn son of noble blood shall rise to power. The child will be learned in the darkest arts and he will raise an army of terrible beasts. Thus will the Dark King fall, slain by neither blade nor arrow but by a sorcerous power of darkest magic and so shall his body be consumed in the flames and for all eternity burn."

They're probably fine, with their charge defense but lowish damage output and low charge bonus they'll probably be closer to armored halberds than true GW infantry, however that's something that the empire likely wants in campaign.

Does elevation fuck your guys' gunners up too or am I just having exceptionally bad mod luck?
>>
>>579254969
Yes. This has been a problem since TWW1, but 3 made it a lot worse to the point that ranged units misbehaving is a well known bug of the game, presumably due to some engine tweak.
In previous warhams you could just make sure your units aim a bit more downward..
>>
>>579252601
I dont know if the tard guard will have different splash attacks or better animations so I have a hard time trusting anything reddit says
Regardless, they'll get solid campaign buffs and be utter cancer to deal with alongside steam tank and landship spam
>>
>>579255790
They use Karl Franz's animations in the beta, so that's what the modder gave them. They were also not given splash attacks. They will get buffs but mainly from Boris and no other emp factions.

So
>current total war
you know at a glance which enemy unit is good at what, and even if they have specialists, all the units are the same so a quick mouse over once or twice solves things. At best, a banner or campaign mechanic (Throt, for example) might make something unique every now and then.
>TW40k
You have to check every single individual enemy constantly because each one could be carrying a different loadout. Of those 12 tactical marines, they could have any mix of like 15 different weapons, with a variety of ranges and size/armor effectiveness.
Sounds like it's going to get tedious.

It'll get maybe a of smidge of dlc or a faction rework but they already have stretched WH3 beyond what they originally planned making the map crowded.

You do realize TWW is so complete right and so deep into a fanfiction territory they don't have any actual content still to add. They are at the point of turning footnotes or even cosmetic paintjobs into separate units, this is Radious tier already

>>
>>579270349
I’ve saw the writing on the wall once TW 40k was announced and remembered GW’s fuckery with End Times killing Fantasy in the mid 2010s. We’ll probably get one more dragon sibling and one of either Lizardmen rework, Bretonnia update, Tzeentch update (the one from SoC was half-assed and they never went back to do it properly) or Daniel update, then they’ll call it a day and pull the plug on Fantasy so they can milk 40k for all it’s worth.
>>
>>579273854
>>579273973
Probably no point yet since they are still reworking it
Funny how people tried to shit on 40k for having only 12 units in an army due to this picture. Meanwhile it turns out game is designed around fighting with 40 units by default, hence the UI rework to accommodate more cards in a more readable way
>>
>>579275235
>40units
Aaand it's a still birth..
>>
>>579270349
They're moving on from fantasy but I have doubts about 40k being a comparable project to fantasy. One was dead and GW didn't really care what they did until 3 when GW was bringing Fantasy back and they became difficult to work with regarding Cathy. The other is their cash cow and while it has long potential GW being difficult may keep it from being a long running series.

Troy is the worst game but the best setting(imo), 3K and Dynasties (You get it with Pharaoh) are good, Dynasties probably have the best TW gameplay but argubly a not very fun setting

It sounds like a sensible way to design it. Just like using S1/M1 movement to depict battlelines stretching over continents. Same way they work in HoI/Darkest Hour. Most likely they will use normal movement for Med3 and then use 40k movement and sieges for WW1/WW2

It's just meant to look cool
Tabletop is limited by a need for physical space. Units alone take a lot of space to store. Terrain even more. Imagine trying to keep castle like this in your apartment. And it would have to be very modular and generic so you can reuse it for as many possible maps as it is possible.
People usually just house rule this for narrative if they want to have sieges with walls

Hive Cities are meant to be massive. It was already dumb to see how small cities were in TWW and that you only attack from one small part. Let alone how disappointing Cathay great wall is. They probably will just theme this as fighting already in the Hive City. Walls are of little use when you can fly over them, it can be seen in TWW already with mages on flying mounts working no different from bombing runs

Since I have M2EX working with Steam and Steel, I just finished painstakingly adjusting the unit sizes back up to a more usual size, and adjusted the price and recruit tim of all the units so that the AI can actually build an army.

I played beastmen twice since they got the unit caps, chorfs once.. around turn 50 or so, the unit caps are such a huge fun kill cause I have to run around with filth while everyone else brings sem doomstacks. I get to have like 3 good armies and that's it.

this would be a good argument assuming turkey wasn't also a shithole with every advantage in the world for the exact same reasons, the mentality they wrought is pure poison, and it's so powerful that it's still fucking up the region a century after they've gone, for me turkey is the antithesis of civilization, maybe they were once advanced though

Just like toys, you already buy a premade product and play with it. They require nothing from you like, just like toys require nothing from a child. It's a purely consumerist hobby

Nothing really because the setting isn’t complete so GW has to play it safe by invalidating/retconning everything that happens. Even the necroquake, which is arguably the most interesting part of the lore, was resolved by Teclis doing some cheap magic tricks

The raise dead effect of Necroquake was not undone, all the corpses are still up and angry.
The fucked up magic globally thing wasn't fixed at all, if anything only gets worse with even more monster like spells running around.
Attempts to fix things further only backfired shielding Chaos at its weakest and letting them regroup and enabled the ongoing Skaven invasion.

Only thing Teclis did was take iniciative from Nagash who's in a wheel spinning confusion for now

Space marines. Like sure there are other parts of it that gained some level of traction, but the core of it is space marines and you're delusional if you think otherwise. Stories about little guys leaving their mark or whatever in a cruel universe have never been the main selling point of the IP.

yeah it's not like 40k plays way more like a traditional RTS like DoW and and not a TW especially on space marines that will have 100 entities on screen per battle and god knows whatever eldar will do, how are u people this dumb, it won't be like WH

From what was shown so far, this is a blatant lie and you know it. I assume you're lying because you know you got no leg to stand on with your retarded take, but maybe next time check if your retarded claims can't just instantly be disproven before you make them, yeah?

>>579298119
Sir, your biomass?
>>
>>579297790
So many units in 40k shoot and move while dealing high damage. Pretty much all the tanks, all the eldar, a couple walkers and if they add fliers, all of them. Melee is going to be complete shit in this game, especially because coding transports is to hard for CA despite it being a feature since Age of Empires.

>>579299787
part of changing the formula is no ammo for highly mobile 90% ranged armies
but even if there was ammo I don't think it'd make or break the game idgaf, game has way bigger issues
but its not the "formula" since it can clearly be changed, 40k plays a lot more like dawn of war than TW with cover + mobility
>inb4 bbut napoooleon and empirepoop had cover

>>579298297
Either remove the max of 20 units per army or do it in the style every other RTS does it where different units count as different amounts of unit/supply cap.
Transports should be super cheap on the supply cap, and before battle you can assign units to a vehicle the same way you can assign banners.
From there everything works basically the same as it does in literally any other RTS.

I think the only real issue with infinite ammo is that means ranged units need to have very limited range or melee units need to be really fucking powerful, given half of 40k is "Elite soldier charges the entire squad opening fire on him and takes them all out in a single round of combat."

Add an out of play state to the games code (Something WC3, DoW,AoE and C&C all have), since units are still their when dead, they have something similar. Make it play garrisoning animation, add to out of play state, when unloading do the opposite. CA have such a tech debt with earlier TW titles so they have to weird things like killing your lord and replacing it with another lord and muting announcements for transformations eg Malus or Miao Ying. Their incredibly incompetent.
>>
>>579294418
Most regions are magic-riddled shitholes. The centres of each realm are the more habitsble parts since they're not as saturated with magic. The further out you go, the more fucked things become. Think of it like the chaos wastes, but instead of being at the poles they just encircle the entire realm and ramp up more gradually as you get further and further from the center.
40k is the best analogy, you get certain strategic chokeholds in an otherwise pretty open-ended galaxy/realms.

So if I fight a 20 stack (or whatever ends up being most common unit count) of Boyz, I'm going to have to constantly be double checking each and every one of them to see what equipment they have for match ups instead of just looking at their flag and seeing wha type of unit they are?

attila had such good layouts to create killzones

>>579309430
Off the top of my head, some kind of colour change or border to unit flags denoting which damage type (light, medium, heavy) they weigh more towards, would save you having to click on every single enemy unit to see what's up, instead just clicking on that concerning heavy-weighted unit heading to your light vehicles.

What if I want to have fun with a full stack of dreadnoughts or baneblades huh? What now? Anti-fun bullshit. If people don't like doomstacking they won't do it, no need to directly limit them.

Boy am I glad I played Total War games as adult for the first time rather than as kid cause it allows me to have an objective view on how fucking awful sieges have been in every single one of them, rather than one entirely blinded by childhood nostalgia.

>Transports should be super cheap on the supply cap, and before battle you can assign units to a vehicle the same way you can assign banners.
That's pretty much how I assume it's going to go, did they say anything about not having them? Because shit like rhinos and falcons and chimeras being missing from the game would look extremely weird
>>
>>579310410
Yeah they said they did not have the tech to do it justice or something like that.
Which basically means, "we don't want to spend time on this right now".
It will be one of those highly requested features that they add 2 years later
>>
>>579310410
From what was said and what's inferred, they only exist as ways to bring troops into the battlefield from off map.
>>
>>579309760
Didn't they also get rid of a bunch if flyers just now?
>>
>99% ranged presence w/infinite ammo
>no armored transports for melee troops
>>
>>579310410
They specifically said no transports at launch and that they'll look into them once they release factions that use them a lot.
Which given that the IG is already in the game is kind of a bad joke but what can you do.
>>
>>579310674
Its all good, Rhino's and Chimera's will give 15% missile resists to nearby infantry (40m radius)
>>
>>579310674
Orks will have a real bad time
Atleast eldar have decent ranged and is fast
>>
>>579310739
Weird, I would say just commit to it being a delivery only platform
Like I assumed that was part of why the reinforcement system is in every battle

>>579310812
orks have stormboyz and flash gitz for suppression

Yeah they got rid of the stormhawk flier aswell

Extremely concerned about how much GW will micromanage CA for this game.
>for a still active part of their franchise
>right as its entering a mainstream popularity boom
>they already know how good TW was for Fantasy awareness and popularity
>pseudo live service game
Please god don't let GW butcher too much shit trying to use it to shill new models and the awful plot of the month.

>Which basically means, "we don't want to spend time on this right now".
It means they're never happening, actually.
>>
>>579310958
As far as I can see GW is meddling on 2 fronts
>which narrative campaign is added
Armaggedon being added is 100% a gw mandate.
>which units are aok to get in
While I think that legends units will turn up eventually, I believe that they will be only added in the tail end of the game
>>
>>579310990
Anon how hard can troop transports be?
Worst case scenario, botched as shit implementation, the transports all come packaged with a specific unit of infantry you choose and customise on the overworld and they just use the summon mechanics.
>>
>>579310990
Nah, they acknowledge that some factions identity heavily rely on transports and said that they will implement it before those get added.
Which means drukhari mostly

Also, as anon said, implementing transports is not rocket science, even if its clown car.
The part CA is probably shitting the bed is making the AI use transports
>>
>>579311164
How hard could it be to stop a big gate from opening up during a siege?
>>
>>579311095
Yeah that's my concern, GW trying to scrub everything they aren't actively trying to sell at that moment in time. Makes it all so much more shallow.
>>
>>579311246
>Nah, they acknowledge that some factions identity heavily rely on transports
Literally the base four do
It's not like they're launching with Tyranids and Necrons
>>
>>579311164
>Anon how hard can troop transports be?
>put space marines into rhino
>move rhino
>order space marines to exit
>they fall under the map
>they clip into map geometry and get stuck/die
you never know!
this is very advanced technology, you can't expect CA to get it right on such short notice
>>
>>579311275
Alright, fair. I'd hope at least that building it all off one long game rather than slapping sequels together results in less technical debt.
>>
>>579292076
...what?
Some of you guys are way too familiar with these e-celebs man.
>>
>>579311275
LOTR BFME solved this with a button back in 2004
But this was EA LA, not CA UK.
>>
>>579311425
Do summons do those things? Because I haven't seen them happen. And also surely they already have the framework built in with the reinforcement system the entire game seems to revolve around.
>>
>>579311398
>heavily reliant
Space Marines and Imperial Guard aren't, one barely needs transports for protection, the other is more known for its artillery and tanks.

Orks are known for their melee, the battle wagon and the trukk help deliver them to melee, but they are hardly defined by it

Eldar benefit greatly from transports, but I would argue that the aspect warriors are the more strong identity.

For dark eldar on the other hand, their entire schtick is ramming boats into the enemy and shooting/jumping from them

I don't know why you're qualifying your opinion as if that's weak grounds. That's the best argument anyone can have for their expectation of the game.

They seem to be getting their shit back together now at least, if clearly massively lowered staff count.

If they were really based they would let us edit our HUD manually so I can de-console-ify it.

>>579311581
IG is incredibly reliant on transports though, and what the guard is known for first and foremost is being highly mechanized. (outside of meme regiments)
Having IG without Chimerae is basically fucking retarded.

I mean, even in RT you have to reload. Sure this isn't that big of a deal later in the game but that's because you build around that by making reload cost 0 AP. 40K TW could still build around running out of ammo or make characters or units that buffs/adds ammo to others
