He won.
>Still no 40k beta invite
Thanquol soon, friends!
>>580716227who?
/Our/ guy Costin Gaming, the heir of Legend, made a video regarding the cotnroversy of the Teutogen Guarda Nerf.What do you think? It was a unnecessary nerf? Or It was due because Empire isnt supposed to have a viable high tier heavy infantry line?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ECDFkQRqiPw&t=268s&pp=0gcJCf4LAYcqIYzv
>>580716282Heh... just a humble sweer potato farmer.

>>580716532Need to sell the latest toys, no doubt they'll get a nerf or two down the line. Just look at the mech Cathay got.
>>580715946>they shouldn't be knocking them around>is this lore accurateIt's a squad made out of vampires. Specifically hand picked favorites of Neferata. Every other vampire in the game is a hero or lord except the blood dragons. Of course they would demolish everything in a fight.They should not even be a regular unit. The handmaidens in ET were heroes in Neferata's army.
How do you play trough a wood elves campaign without falling asleep?

>>580714683Empire is supposed to suck.

We really need a fourth elf faction to round out the setting. Suggestions?
>>580718317poop elves
>>580718317Middle Elfs
>>580718317really slutty elves but they arent evil this time
>2tugen guard nerfed>nobody even talking about Boris or the other units>Ulrican DLC in shambles>meanwhile Nuln chads keep winning Can't beat the hag.Best DLC ever will never be topped.
Let's say I became a poor fuck and I can only afford one incoming DLC, Nagash would be my best bet? seems like it's the one that gives the most
>>580718317Shugengan Elves. The Cathayan dragons can impregnate anything it seems so it's very possible to make those.
>>580716418*dies*
>>580718317Half elvesImagine elves but they all dress like imperials and use guns.
>>580716231>frequencing pedo anime boardyou're digital footprint is fucked
>>580718495Pick whichever faction you like most.Except Glotkin. Just get Tamurkhan instead.
Cao Cao
>>580718740I like the Empire but it looks liek a scam
>>580716532Horned rat is the most powerful chaos god and will be the most powerful chaos god in 40k once they add him.
Temple guard and depth guard should be wrathmonger tier
>>580718927
>>580719101Oh that's why teutogen guard suck, they have guard in the name

>watch some streamer>thanqueer gets bodied by a shitty Morathi/sister stackAren't skaven supposed to be OP after this DLC? Why are they getting defeated by the most outdated race in the entire game?
>>580719504Bretonnia is one of the strongest MP factions despite getting no dlc since warhammer 1, what do you think?
>lived to see Neferata and new vampfusIf only geabull had lived to see this...
Okay here is my new elf design. The River Elves. Entirely female. Always naked. They live in rivers and lakes and large ponds. Freshwater only.
>>580719504the OP shit is in campaign buttons and bars
>>580719608DE are one of the weakest factions in MP. They are just played much more than the rest.
TOTAL WAR: NERFHAMMER
>>580716854Play Drycha. Kill all vegans (elves)
As long as they dont nerf glottbros
>>580720161What is there even to nerf? They get killed in seconds by any faction with ranged or good ant-large.
>>580720161Billions must spume.
>>580716621there's no proof that it was.
>>580720432Right.. just like Skarbrand, Kairos, Belakor and all the other huge lords always die when we play them against the AI, right?

>>580721678Good Vamps arent supposed to have S tier infantry, it's against the lore. They really on skelly/zombies spam and magic/heroes
>>580721139this is why we have filters anon
>>580721842CA really need to make buff spells worth using. like making all of them AoE and 3x the duration is a good start
>yeah we got these new units>NERF NERF NERF NERFwhy is reddit like this, you didnt even play with them yet
Which way Bretonnian man? Whether you're a body slave in Karond Kar or mindbroken by elf magic making you do "quests" you don't understand.
Empire arent supposed to have S tier infantry.Hence why Teutogen got nerfedSlaven arent supposed to have S tier infantry. hence why they got worse skavenslaves as new infrantryNagash and all the undead factions arent supposed to have S tier infantry. Hence why Handmaidens and their silly knockoff effet got nerfedChaos Warriors ARE supposed to have S tier infantry. Hence why the got super stronk Putrid Blightkings and the RoR Nurgle ChosensCA is following the lore accurate armies weaknesses. They have my full support in this topic
>>580722270All according to his will.
>>580722270Why are skaven daemons better than monogod daemons? That's not lore accurate
>>580716506why is your game so blurry?
>>580722464because the Great Horned Rat is the greatest of chaos gods
>>580722573That's not lore accurate, he's the weakest of the bunch by a large margin
i am luthor harkonit is just that simple
We're all getting hyped and stoked and riled up in here btw:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy9Tq3eC6DA
>>580722464Verminking will soon be nerfed befose the MP police is on his ass.
>>580722769Glottkin is even worse though? And even regular verminlords are way better than greater demons
>>580722639He has more worshippers than the other gods combined, therefore he's the strongest
>>580722903that's straight up false, there are more daemons than there are skaven
>>580722647pfft yeah for today only
Making horned rat the 5th chaos god is so dumb it's unreal. How can a racial god ever get on the same power level as gods that represent universal concepts.
couple minutes until shills get to reveal campaigns
>>580723420The horned rat is a minor chaos god, like hashut
an embargo just lifted over my house
>>580721895i might look into that, thanks for the tip
>>580718317There's only one real place for them to go.
What is even left to show at this point?
>>580718317Add in the Idoneth deepkin from AoS?
>>580723945Total War(craft) mite b fun
>>580724150Warcraft is a shit setting for total war, it's too character driven and as a result the setting suffers when it comes to the lore and history that you'd want for mass army/strategic play.
QRD from /ourgirl/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGCtcd959is
>>580722518im using TAA highit's better in movement than FXAAotherwise it's on max res n everything so idk what you meanmy problem is the lighting in wh3 is terrible, especailly that gnastly corruption lighting that ruins the maps, i should get a mod to disable corruption lighting desu but it is kinda anit-soul so idk
>>580724276Have you tried this mod?https://www.nexusmods.com/totalwarwarhammer3/mods/393?tab=posts
>>580724150It's possible to get some basic factions (Alliance, Horde, Kal'dorei, Scourge/Forsaken) if you base off factions using the Warcraft 3 rosters, but you're still going to need to come up with a lot of other rosters, like Dark Irons, Blood Elves, Burning Legion or Twilight's Hammer.
>>580724403no, i don't wanna give up fps, even if its like 10 fpsthe less FPS the more sluggish the game feels
>>580724514what's your gpu? just use dlss quality instead of dlaa then. Even quality should be much better than taa
NERFNERFNEEEEEEERF
>>580724250>>580724489I think you can split up alliance and horde races, kinda like chaos/order, at least to some degree. Ogres, pandas I guess? etc. There's a lot to take from and they could just have blizzard OC to fill them outAs for >character driven how would it be different from LLs in TWW?
Nerferata
>>580723587He's actually the 5th chaos god now in AOS
>>580716378It was due, Empire is supposed to suck shit out of a hobo's asshole. I've been hassling CA to nerf Knight's Panther as well as their good in some matchups. With any luck I might their whole roster to be worse than vanilla.
Sigmar be praised! They finally fixed the Necrach! Look how beautiful they are!I thought CA was too much of an indie company to ever give them a rework.
>>580723420lotta ratsjust a big bunch of em
look at all of these buttonsIMIMIM GONNA CLICK
>>5807246684070, i might try dlss quality but smth tells me its gonna introduce weird visual bugsi'll give it a shot tho
Every day I wake up and I cry when I remember Attila was real. That shit really happened. And that's fucked up.
Well that was a lie.Complelty tanked my reliability.
>>580724668>>580725090trying dlss quality in the .ini 160 fps, seems pretty good for performance at least
>>580718418The rest of Emp's new units are dogshit. The AP generalist infantry cant even beat longbeards or whitelion (nor trade evenly), Hurrcianum is just a shitty aura, wolf priests are just AP Warrior priests (which are dogshit any ways) Knights Panther are probably their best new unit but lack of AP means you wont use them past turn 60. hounds are just hounds but Empire really doesnt use them unless your trying to flank
>>580719720canonical image
>>580724732There's a lot more individually unique factions that don't really lend themselves to Warhammer's shared roster, thoughTheoretically, the insectoid races like the Qiraji, Nerubians and Mantid would all belong to the same faction but they're individually quite distinct
>>580725325140 ish FPS in this battle i'll try DLAA real quick however isn't it weird the mod tells u to keep TAA on?
>>580717771...in being GAY
>>580725530At least they have segs unlike (You)
>>580725502pretty solid items. isn't that +4 AP trait super strong?

>>580725969I don't understand what the issue is. FXAA looks beautiful to me. But I guess I'm the kind of guy who always puts motion blur to max. It makes it more realistic looking and smooth.
>>580725794>>580724403should still be better than fxaa. At least worth a try
>>580725480same battle went from 140 to 120 that's p big hitbut it does look rly sharp>>580725985i see, well thanks for the heads up i'll try using the mod for a while, if i want better performance might go DLSS quality, i rly dunno if dlss quality is more sharp than no mod + sharpening on tho, need to test but too lazy
>>580725895that's not a caravan doe.
>>580726126>But I guess I'm the kind of guy who always puts motion blur to max.what the fuck is wrong with you...
>>580726126>always puts motion blur to max. It makes it more realistic looking and smooththe point of motion blur was always to mask low FPS, on consoles, that often ran games at 30, at 30 fps u prob want motion blur cause it hides choppy movementthat or racing games for the "fast" effect, playing most wanted 2005 and i kept motion blur on that game is beautiful imobut for PC games that run 60+ HELLL NAAH, it's horrible man

Anyway a Total Warcraft could work, just need to split the work like they did on the Warhammer titles>Game 1Eastern Kingdoms only, Warcraft 1 and 2 setting>Human (Lordaeron)>Dwarf (Ironforge)>Orc (Doomhammer's Horde)>Troll (Amani)>High Elf (Quel'thalas, preorder bonus)DLC for each of these factions is easy enough and besides that you can have Dark Iron, Twilight's Hammer, and the Red Dragonflight as their own unique thing

>>580726293>>580726332I dunno how others see the world but I can only see semi sharp for half a meter. Everything is always blurry to me so motion blur makes things look more real.
HEH, YOU DONT LIKE 800 CLICKY? THEN PLAY DARK ELVES XDDDtheres a thing called bloata concept that pigsluts know nothing about
DLAA is bretty good thoughgame looks giga sharpjust can't decide if i wanna use dlss quality and keep +20-30 extra FPS or nah
never ask an oinker how many features are too many features

>god of sex has less sexy demons than the god of rats Explain this
>>580726346>>580726857>>580727007the only thing id say has such bloat in the dlc is nagash, but that's kinda the point of the faction i guessto play unlike any other faction, and enact total war on the world with fancy op mechanics
NOOOOOOOO THERES NO SUCH THING THERES NO SUCH THING BUY BUY BUYITS JUST THE LUTHORSCHIZO HE DOSENT KNOW SHIT LOOK FANCY UI FANCY FANCY FANCY SHINYEPIC EPIC CLICKY!

You can hire vampire units with reduced blood cost, and when you disband them you get 80% of ORIGINAL (not reduced) cost backInfinite blood
>>580726893DLSS quality, L preset (i was using auto, giving me much more FPS, i assume it was using a weaker preset) dlss quality + L gives me like 100 fps in this battle, i'll probably stick with this, looks almost as good as DLAA for 20 more FPS
>>580724732>As for >character driven how would it be different from LLs in TWW?Warhammer lore is not really driven by the characters outside of End Times.Pick up an army book, read through it, yes you get fun story snippets about the characters, but for the most part the setting is just doing setting things, and these big famous people happened to show up in it.That's also why so many of them are from different time periods entirely, because you don't need Azhag interacting with Karl Franz to know how the Greenskins interact with the Empire, the factions themselves would exist and have the same interactions with or without them.
GUYS YOU CAN CLICK ON THE TRAINER 2 TIMES INSTEAD OF 1EPIC EPIC CHEESE WORKAROUND
>>580726358The problem with most fictional settings in a Total War game is that these settings don't really put any substantive thought into how their world is laid out or the internal politics within. There's a fantasy conflict between fantasy races and some magic and a jewish conspiracy and the world is just kind of built out from there. When you translate that to a map-painting strategy game where the geography and politics define the campaign but the characters and interpersonal elements and stateless zionite conspirators don't matter and have no real place on the map.Old Star Wars games got around this by just making shit up, and the license holders were cool with that because their setting was empty enough back then that it could fit all these arbitrary canons shaped by 3rd parties to make a spinoff. But that's also why you don't see Star Wars strategy games anymore now that their world is crystallized, overcrowded and rigid and the remaining fans worship Glup Shitto and some flimsy civil war allegory under the draconian IP management of disney. To make games like this work the license holders need to be okay with developers just hawking their shitty fantasy map into the trash, and the developers need to be okay with doing monumental legwork to grind this square peg to fit into the round hole of their gameplay design.So far it looks like Warhammer took the opposite approach, with CA forced to grind their round hole into a square and rebuild their whole game design around the rigid inflexibilities of a franchise that ironically used to be defined by its open-endedness and flexibility.
>>580726893>>580727617the dumbass game changed the time of day lighting (even med2 let you select which weather preset u want for custom battles so this just pisses me off and makes me think TCA discriminates against custom battle spam chads) so i can't properly compare, but it's close enough

>>580728180reddit bitching is what got em nerfed to begin with thoredditors are skaven/chaosfags
>>580727791>Fictional settings don't put into the workings of their worldsThat's precisely why I propose it with Warcraft 1/2/3 as the setting instead of modern WoW. Back in those days they still made RPG books to play DnD-style games with, so the world is a lot more fleshed out in that era - enough, perhaps, to make a Total War game out of, especially when leaning from some (but not all) of the later additions to Warcraft canon. The only issue would be that CA would likely be OCing a lot of things, which I'm not sure Blizzard would agree to, if they even agreed to use the old canon stuff to begin with.

>>580729525Not even an argument with Tzar guard and Celestial Dragon Guard and Marauder Champions ingame. 3 humans that are T4. Not 2 of them not even on melee centric factions. Emp isnt even asking for chosen. Just any line holder would do. What I always see is "Why do empire fags want the Empire to do everything?" when theirs atleast 5 factions ingame doing everything. Helves, Delves, Skaven, LM, Chaos, the now Undead legion which literally DOES everything.
>>580730670that's odd
>>580730670Your looking at the unit flags are for allied recruitment which is depending on embassy level. T3 is the highest which is literally every T4-5 unit.>>580730864??? Knights Panther have 40/44 MA/MD with bonus antilarge. At the same time regular Empire knights have worse stats than swordsmen. Empire Knight is a straight upgrade. Literally the only good unit they did get.
>>580730937>Just any line holder would do.Eldreds guard :) what... you don't like having to pay 7000 dollars up front to get one (1) unit, followed by a 14 turn cooldown before you can get one (1) more? >but franzshut up
>>580731210>Your looking at the unit flags are for allied recruitment which is depending on embassy levelNo I'm looking at the unit flags from people literally playing as Boris in the campaign
I'm still disappointed the Celestial Hurricanum isn't a magical mortar artillery piece while its Luminark counterpart is a magical cannon
>>580730937>"Why do empire fags want the Empire to do everything?" when theirs atleast 5 factions ingame doing everything. Helves, Delves, Skaven, LM, Chaos, the now Undead legion which literally DOES everything.this kinda logic only applies to empire lolthose factions are ALLOWED to do everything in lore, or something...
>>580730937>Tzar GuardAll of nu-Kislev elite units are buffed with ice magic. Also kislevites are a human sub-race canonically stronger than southron humans >Celestial guardMany of them are dragonblood nobles aka human-dragon mutts
>>580730937>Tzar guard and Celestial Dragon GuardThey're all shit though?
>>580731439I know, that's for allied recruitment. Go in game and find me one higher than 3. Doesn't exist. Chosen of Nurgle are T3 in your eyes.
>>580731779So why are you calling it a T4 unit if those doesn't exist
>>580731726>Also kislevites are a human sub-race canonically stronger than southron humansstronger than nordlanders?
>>580731843nta but probably because it requires a T4 building to recruit?
>>580731843Because its built from a T4 building silly billy.
All of the Great Bastion gate province commandments seem fucking worthless, like "oh 30% less attrition!" as if those provinces have any territory where that would actually matter.
>>580730701sexu..
>>580728680>>580728874You know you can achieve the exact same thing with a shader. No need to slop up your game.
>VC rework didn't touch any of the LLsLame.
>2 more weeksAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>580731941>>580731970So why did they nerf their stats to be worse than T3 units?
Stop talking about tiers the game isn't balanced around it, fucking longma dicks are tier 5
>>580732013Because reddit had a tantrum when they had +40 stats as for some reason it ruins empires identity. This was also at the same time where they lost to every other great weapon unit of similar pricing ingame (Chaos Warriors, Longbeards, White Lions.) Then they got nerfed. Depth Guard 2.0
>>580731997what are you talking about dude? the goal is to have AA that blurs the game lessbut wo raping performance like forcing MSAA would dowhat shaders accompish DLAA/DLSS tier upscaling
>>580732013Same reason my T2 halberdiers will beat T3 cavalry. Different roles. Gayswords are anti-infantry specialists, while Tootogen guard are generalists. But whether the GS should beat the TG in a 1v1 or not is up for debate.
>>580731975+growth is always welcome
>>580732221reddit is just downstream from sloptubers, they just parrot what they say, and all the sloptubers overhyped the guard because they were the first empire melee unit with good statsnot the first time they get a fun unit nerfed, wont be the last
Do Greatswords win the 1v1 against black orcs i forgot.
>>580717438Well the undead don't have penises
All of the campaigns in this game are miserable and its because the map is overcrowded and diplomacy is a joke, and if you play with the wrong settings the auto-resolve isn't in your favor and small enemies become impossible to dislodge while all your "allies" "help" by taking small chunks of land you can't get back except by declaring war on them or by taking other small chunks that you can trade them for.
>>580732398vs shields, yesvs greatweapons, no
>>580732005It's not necessarily a bad thing. It's something that should absolutely come in a future update and hopefully it's sooner rather than later, but the depth of the race rework wouldn't be there if we got individual faction reworks. And the race as a whole was in desperate need. Only thing I'm genuinely pissed about that they didn't do was give vampires and Vlad new animations.
>>580732345>Tootogen guard are generalists.why would anyone recruit a "generalist" unit that requires T4 when their stats dont allow them to perform the generalist role
umm chuddy stop asking questions
>>580732507>All of the campaigns in this game are miserable and its because the map is overcrowded and diplomacy is a joke, and if I play with the wrong settings the auto-resolve isn't in my favor and small enemies become impossible to dislodge while all my "allies" "help" by taking small chunks of land I can't get back except by declaring war on them or by taking other small chunks that I can trade them for.ftfy>the map is overcrowdedlmao no
>>580732243but i think the game never looked sharper for me gloomy
>>580732553Because some Empire players get tired of recruiting Panzer divisions.
Love Empirefag tears
>>580732656What kind of even "snide" remark is this supposed to be?
>>580732873Switching the word "you" with "I" to indicate that the problems you face are your own, most likely due to a skill issue.Basically: speak for yourself.
>>580733036Yeah well unless you're gonna be helpful, kill yourself.
>>580731997the guy posting the screenshots is not boasting about DLSS 5/neural rendering but rather about a DLSS upscaler/DLAA mod which replaces the game's horrendous TAA >>580724403
>>580733090You didn't ask for help. You didn't even ask a question. You just whined. That's why you got a snide remark in return :)
How can we nerf the dark elves in the inevitable DLC.
>>580731997>>580733160oh that guy thought i was using dlss5lmaonothat thing rapes ur performance and my puny 12gb 4070 would cry i regret not getting a 16gb gpu back then a lot, total war eats VRAMbut i am gonna stick w my full current setup until it dies or i get spare dosh and sell it or part prices normalize so
>>580733271reduce darkshard ammo capacity by 50%
>>580733206What the fuck am I supposed to ask for help on? "Why is the game lying to me about objectives when it should be telling me that from turn 1 I need to be raising a second army?"
this piece of shit always does well in norsca in my runs
If Empire is supposed to suck when how come they always win in the campaign? checkmate ruinous powers
>>580733631How did you deal with the old cunt at the start of the campaign?
i like how supreme sorceress is thicker than the normal sorceress as if to climb the ranks you can't be a twig
What's your favorite Kislev unit? For me it's the Chekists
>>580734102Umm... Rudolf, dude? Kinda the best one.
>>580733954same way u deal with everythings on this racedarkshards
>>580734017left sorceress(male)right sorceress(female)
>>580734017Khaine is said in the lore to like thicker girls(for a elf) and I'm not making this up. Sorceresses have much bigger thighs and breasts than any other elf.
>>580733314I'm rocking a 3080ti and I don't think I'll another Nvidia card what with all the melting problems of the high end 50 series. When I eventually do need an upgrade I'll probably swap over to AMD. Now I just need to figure out what the fuck their naming convention is for their cards.
>>580734017DE really have the best girls. I wish they also had mechanics.
>>580734459What's a good mechanic?
>>580729151Ghorst is based and more relevant.
undeath lore button looks like nehekhara lore buttonits over
>>580734687It's quite literally just a subhuman version of the beautiful lore of Nehek.
>>580734435i am not getting a fuckin amd cardthey still have driver issues, and just general lack of optimization, for example, latest in stalker 2 they have crashes, performance issues on other UE5 slop i enjoy (like silent hill 2 remake and gothic remake) and friends i have have had all kinds of driver issues with their 9070 xts, been using nvidia all my life and i'm okay with paying more for it, the melting thing is a niche issue and if you have an atx 3.0 powersupply and just use its cable, think you'll be fine, i'm not smart with money tho, if u wanna be smarter with ur moeny can save like 200 euros on 9070 vs 5070, if its worth it for you, i'll still be an nvidia goy>>580734459>>580734586they have peak girls indeed, but i'm blown away that there's no special mechanic for owning all of ulthuan cept just "campaign win", they should have something....special quests, special mechancis like a corrupted court, force confed of helves if u own the donut, something, they do feel like a half baked faction to an extent compared to the feature packaged DLC stuff like tamurkhan or malakai which have mechanics n events out the ass
>>580734017Level 50 needs to make them thick and buff.
reminder that luthor has the "ghost_ship" spell which mogs all undeath spellsa spell that he didnt even pay foryour lord is a fag who reads books like a fag
Everyone memeing on Ghorst but where is the love for /our/guy Khatep?
>>>/v/747482801
not clicking thatunless theres a resource bar with bigly effects
>>580716806they're alright if you have a melee-centric army with their buff/debuff but they're shit in melee which is half the value of a medusa and they're a bigger target for missile fire, I usually don't upgrade. I'll maybe throw em in one army for variety
>>580735132Khatep has a shit lore and doesn't have any real gimmick sadly
>>580735403He has a hierotitan. The coolest unit in the entire game.
dlss scaling (not dlss5) dreadfushe's alright, but death hags are the bestthen supreme sorceresses then dreadfus
>>580734874DE get like 8 different unique landmarks for ulthuan, that's more than pretty much every other faction gets for conquering lore related stuff.
>>580734586Some kind of invasion of Ulthuan or Phoenix king mechanic for Malekith, any corruption mechanic for Morathi that isnt "turn the map purple", a blood voyage mechanic for Har Ganeth that actually starts in the sea and not in the frozen desert, etc.Basically anything that's more than slaves being a second currency.
>>580734459>>580734586>>580734874Mechanics other races have in spades that Delfs lack (except Morathi)>Unit upgrades>Debuffs>Alternate units>high level intrigue mechanics like Empire machinations or Ulthuan seats or Kislev supermandates or Cathay cumpass>Even the Dwarfs have this nowAt the minimum, there should be something you unlock when you eat out the Elven donut
>>580735610all that amounts to is more stats out of nowhere though just for clicking a buttonwhat would be cool is something you can interact with like a fucked up dark elf court mechanic to parody the helf one they got, or personally what i'd like to see is unique quests for "crushing the helf rebels" something like thati like delves tho, first time playing em, for some reason i just find em more fun than helves, maybe because they have their weaknesses, unlike helves which have op cav op inf op archers op monsters, you're forced to rely on the glorious repeater crossbows
>Casualty Replenishment rate: +10% (Factionwide)>Corpses gained from battle: +10% (Factionwide)Ghorstbros are gonna snowball so hard
>>580735610Getting Anlec should give you some giga Khaine cheats considering that's where Aenarion ruled from and that is a region infested by elven ghost still crying over getting buttfucked by Khaine.
>>580735798SURPASSED status?
So what's even the point of the advice if it's not gonna tell you things like "you need to have 3 20-stacks by turn 10 or you're gonna have a bad time."
>>580735890>Getting Butthurt Central should give you some literal cheats considering that's where people go to get BTFOSounds counterintuitive.
Do Kislev have any ice dragons
>>580735495Erm sis, your Warsphinx?
I've seen enough of Neferata. Where da books @?
>vampire counts get tzeentch barrierWHAT THE FUCK
>>580736758u have 2 hours in the gamewhy are u herego back to 9gag
>>580736463Close enough.
>>580734874>>580735683>>580735745All OP bullshit
>>580736823Unc said "go back to 9gag" oh my days
>>580737190Kill yourself.
>>580737190most of that stuff would kick in pretty later to revitalize the campaign and keep it interesting
>>580736823>uCringe
i got too damn cockythese norsca motherfuckers got hands when u meet meleeand the mammoth mount lord has 100000 hp aaah
CA more like TCA
>>580734459What's your favorite thing about them?
>>580737725built for rape by chaos chads
>>580737539barely pulled through tho
>>580737539Bro you Black Guard? You should ALWAYS have a single Black Guard unit to take care of mounted LLs or monsters at the later stages of the game.
>>580737725nta but if you like alt darker gothy girls, dark elves obviously play to that fantasy+ you can assume they're shameless sluts that would definitely take the lead so you don't even need to do anything when a delf slut throws herself at you and violates you, which is hot too
what happened to the guy from gun smoke and effects mod?is there a replacement mod with effects for guns and shit?
>chaos>chadsKEK!
>>580737927Extreme Smoke & Flash
>>580737190And? It's a single player campaign. If you want CBT difficulty as dark elves you can always pick Malus and war everyone
>>580737895hmm might grab one for that reason>>580737927yes, the chinese updated the mod, and it works great, some anon here posted this once been using it, imo works even better than "extreme smoke and flash" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3643418772
