Thanquol soon, friends!
>>581961113They will NEVER add Thanquol to the game, give up
Might as well post some Khaz(t)rak before I go.
Hashut if you can hear me, please destroy Cathay
>>581961113This is possibly your last thanquil soon post
>>581961527>>581961113Next one's probably gonna be the last. The end of an era.
>>581961527I think I will be able to get one tomorrow, friend.
>>581961113Are you gonna cook up another ritualposting for 40kiddies?
EVERYONE can now collect the Nagronomicons, even if just to have them and fuck with the factions who actually want them
>>581961396If only it had been Total War: Warhammer Age of Sigmar instead... Hashut would still be with us...
>>581961768No, friend. There aren't any characters in 40k that I care enough about.
>>581961964That would have been very big news if you'd dropped that bomb on us two months ago.
>>581961396I bought all of them because I'm a good warhammer piggy.Once I bought it I started feeling an another double chin forming
Every ritualposter is SCUM of the earth.
It pisses me off that they are playing it before us.I'm a bigger fan of this series than any of those content creators.They don't even buy the DLCs... I purchased every single one and the vast majority at full price on release day.Stop treating us like second-class citizens when it is because of us that your bills are being paid.
>>581961306
>>581962270Thanks for funding hyenas2
>>581962431DON'T SEGS MY CAT
>>581962169What about when Thanquol is out?
>>581962764I look like this and do this
TARGET ACQUIREDCHING CHONG CITYLAUNCHING DOOMROCKET
>>581962730Then I'm done, friend. I've won.
The Chaos/Skelly Invasion are a scam, it's just the invasion from 1, only now they change the climate of provinces, that's nothing really new. At least my drazh kazad wahk uz bros are not included in the Chaos invasion, from what I've seen. Now where are my Bull Centaur Lords, or actually cool shit like Egrimm Van Horstmann?
>>581963187>it's just the invasion from 1,It is a little better than that. But the AI is not nearly good enough to play with it and it should have a lot more scripted events. But at least it will be fun to defend the empire.
Campaign difficulty set to "Normal" (minor bonuses to AI)Battle difficulty set to "Very Hard"Battle realism mode onEnemy AI gets a 5% buff to leadershipOh yeah, it's suffering time.

>>581962685She is for the street.
>>581963521Do they fix anti player bias yet?
>>581962905You will never be a real Bastiladon. You have no natural carapace, you have no Solar Engine mounted on your back, and you do not weigh five tons.
>>581963463Campaign difficulty is the only one that matters
Medieval 3 soon, kamerad.
>>581963695That's a feature, not a bug to be fixed
>We're limiting RoR in an army... By 8That's like limiting your salary at $10 trillion
>>581936301Because CA fucked up and putted Festus as a WoC (he is neither a norscan or a warrior) whie he should had been a monogod Nurgle focusing on mortals and cults. He and Tamurkhan should had switched factions
>>581963713
>>581963521>New Zombie Dragon focused landmarks will now appear across the map. At the start of each campaign, 6 random locations will receive one of these. Those are available exclusively to the Vampire Counts and the Host of Nagash, both for the player and the AI. When playing as any Vampire Counts faction or the Host of Nagash, at least one Zombie Dragon Landmark is guaranteed to spawn relatively close to your starting position. Here’s an example of one:Bretonnia rework will give us 6 randomly spawning Sacred Lake landmarks."
>>581963817You have to level up to get that pointA new panic Lord gets like 2
>>581964023Cant wait to replay them in 2030
>>581963858He was a WARRIORS OF CHAOS special character, so he's in the WARRIORS OF CHAOS faction ingame, not complex
>>581963187>it's just the invasion from 1So the best endgame challenge they designed? Game 2 was a waiting game to defeat trillions of skavens every 10-15 turns, Realm of Chaos punished you for daring expanding too much and forced you to deal with the boring monogod realms gimmicks. Immortal Empires pre-9.0 had nonsensical 30 stacks showing up in random moments and in random places
Why is there no ball unit in wh3Just a big ball that rolls into enemy lines
>play kislev realm of chaos>katarin almost kills the advisor because...well she just does ok???What a piece of shit
>>581964229Another woman moment like many others in history.
>>581963781Old total war series dont have that shit, way to out yourself faggot
>>581964229Yeah the Advisor is a piece of shit
>>581963521>Daemonic Re-Emergence added>With the arrival of Lords of the End Times we wanted to bring some support to this part of the game by allowing Daemonic factions (including Legendary Lords) to return to the map after being defeated after a number of turns. Now if a Daemonic faction is defeated it can respawn in a province that has high corruption (either Undivided or the appropriate Mono-god corruption type)Hot! didn't know about the LL part
>>581964229She needs a man like me to calm her down
>>581964448But he calls me more powerful than the chaos gods...
>>581963743Battle cheats matter a lot, anon.
>>581964484Slaanesh looks like a Jim Henson character here for some reason
>>581963521I have been complaining about the retarded WoC AI for years. Hopefully these changes actually help them recruit chosen.
>>581963743nuh uh, the AI will do shit like corner camp with Dwarfs on very hard battle dif, and stagger its melee attack pattern so it can pivot to defend its backline easier
>>581964706Battle difficulty just makes them dodge spells and sometimes switch targetsThat's way less important than 1 stack becoming 2 and a half
>>581962764
>>581964484It doesn't matter what they add until they fix the number one daemon prince, our very own lord of Yuri Daniel.
>>581964865is that a hard difficulty thing? seems like any faction aI will do that if they have a lot of artillery and no reason to push out
>>581964023>Sacred LakeHonestly I look forward to seeing all of the crazy shit modders can pull off now that there's a framework for randomly spawning landmarks.
>>581964834Does this mean the AI will straight up get better recruitment pools than the player does? That IS really the kind of AI-specific buff they need to finally let them have Chosen stacks
>>581964876Anon battle cheats give +10% to all stats of AI units in battle and mean that your chaos warriors will lose against empire swordsmen without support.>>581964865I have never seen much of a stagger but I am usually outnumbered anyway.
>>581964768Slaanesh is supposed to be not hot
>>581965108Yeah I get that one, it just pushes the game even further towards ranged spam though so fuck thatGlad WH3 separated the slider
when 2 fullstack armies come to your borders you are gonna learn
>>581964229>"You all know I bore no heirs. But I have all my sons and daughters here with me today. On this rain-soaked hill, we are all one people, one land. Today we fight for Kislev! "femcel
>>581965046sounds to me like they just changed the AI so it researchs/builds the right tech buildings to gain access to better recruitment options ala chosen
>>581965429I never did that shit anyways I'll lose settlements while a stack moves over if I have toRoRspam armies are so unaesthetic even if temporary
>>581963521>We have added new VO lines for these legacy characters/units:>Karl Franz>Archaon the Everchosen>Arkhan the Black>Luthor Harkon>Mannfred von Carstein>Isabella von Carstein>Heinrich Kemmler>Helman Ghorst>Updated legacy units 'Swords of Ulric' and 'The White Wolves' to use new Empire voice setsI hope they gave Isabella actual diplomatic lines (though I'm not sure we'll be able to hear them, since the AI is always playing as Vlad).
>>581965798>>Helman GhorstIt's finally our time. Ghorst is getting the spotlight he deserves.
To recruit RoRs you should just have to first recruit the regular version of the unit and then upgrade it to the RoR version once it has a couple chevrons of xp.
>>581965798>Vlad, Thorgrim, Wurzag, and Azhag all share the same voice actorSo no new Vlad lines until Greenskins or Dwarfs get a second rework?
>>581966019fuck off
>>581965486>*one kislevite stifles a laugh after the first sentence*
>>581966019There's still not even a mechanic for upgrading [Unit] into [Unit with Shields]
>>581965486I miss lord of the rings style dialogue over marvel script wriiting. Not sure where most of warhammer falls but it's a lot more heroic fantasy, we dodged a bullet. If the game came out five years later karl franz would probably be iron man.
>>581965946He already has the spotlight, he is still the strongest faction in the game.His zombies will beat ANY unit. ANY.While being the cheapest thing in the game.
>>581965486Wasn't Katarina grooming a boy priest of Dazh in old lore so she could move the entire country away from Ursun through elevating him and his church?
>>581963521>Unit rewards for completed Ivory Road Caravans and Chaos Dwarf Convoys are now granted every time a caravan or convoy reaches its destination, provided the caravan does not already have those units and has room for them.BIG if true! Hellstorm Rocket is all my caracans.(And iirc to Cathay has a technology to double the number of units received).
>>581966270He needs his own end game event to prove nagash was weak.
>>581966243>game wants me to recruit shieldless Saurus
>>581965798>>581965946>Put Isabella and Ghorst next to each other on the campaign map>They start flirting like Ulrika and Felix
>>581966243Do you have any idea about how many charlemagnes a single shield costs? Let alone an entire unit?
>>581966270>His zombies will beat ANY unit. ANY.Grim...
>>581965119I didn't say Slaanesh was suppose to be hot I said it looks like a fucking muppet dude.
>>581966261>If the game came out five years later karl franz would probably be iron man.>I’m Karl Franz.>Emperor of the Empire.>Apparently, that makes me the guy who’s supposed to have a plan.>Here’s the problem.>The world is ending.>Again.>We’ve got monsters at the gates, armies in the dark, and enough things crawling out of holes to make you wonder why we ever stopped filling them in.>And for a long time, we let fear decide what happened next.>The Empire was divided.>Our leaders were weak.>Us always waiting for the enemies to make their move.>Well...>I’m done waiting.>Because this?>This is our home.>These are our people.>And if the forces of darkness think they can march into our cities, tear down our walls, and tell us to run—>They picked the wrong Empire.>So here’s the plan.>We stand together.>We fight together.>And when the monsters come for us...>We hit them harder.>You want this Empire?>Come take it.>But I should warn you—>I’m the Emperor.>And I’m not particularly fond of losing.>So, who's with me?
>>581966489I mean against someone like Skulltaker shields don't matter
>>581967031TRVKE
>>581967117It still comes with a melee defence boost
>>581965798Please let her have secret Nurgle voice lines in the files.
>>581967335Skulltaker has like 100 MA, an extra 8 ain't saving you.
>>581967117ain't no one playing snor-rok
>Manager told me to stop using my phone while working as someone complained that I was on it frequently.LL for this feel?
>>581967456Kattrak
>>581967417Skulltaker is not the only unit in Skulltaker's army
TCAL fucking did it. I love having access to monogod allied recruitment for WoC undivided.
>>581967389whyyyy?
>tomb kangs endgame crisis (turned to max)>Skarbrand soloed them
>>581961964Why not give an option to send a captured book to nagash, its rightful owner? I'm not interested in stealing or destroying stolen goods
>>581963521>Rites Cooldown Rebalancing>We have updated the cooldowns for rites as below. Their global cooldown time has remained at 5 turns:>Dark Elves:>Sacrifice to Hekarti: 20 15>Sacrifice to Atharti: 20 15>Sacrifice to Mathlann: 25 20>Sacrifice to Khaine: 40 25>Sacrifice to Drakira: 30 25>Sacrifice to Anath Raema: 25 20>Rite of the Warmaster: 50 25Another W for the Druchiibros.
>Additional Campaign & Battle Music has been added for:>Dwarfs>Chaos factions>Skaven>Empire>Undead LegionsDwarfs arent even in the DLC but they get new music anyway
>>581967679It's loreful.
adding new voicelines and battle music is always very cool
Should I even bother doing Realms of Chaos?
>>581968562Haven't had the music on in years, I'll have to try it again
>>581968603no
>>581968092I feel like Dwarfs in all media are kind of lacking in musicOnce you get past The Hobbit's acappella and some D&D fan tributes there's just not that much out there
>>581968603Never touched, it, ~2.5k hours in TW3
>>581968309But in the lore chaos hates the undead and Nurgle especially.
>>581967031I bet LLMs would be great at marvelifying warhammer. And it's a slop to slop conversion so the AI can't make marvel worse.
>>581969139The ugly bastard inside her helped her come around to a different point of view.
>>581968309holy ntr kino
>>581967389> in the files.Fot what purpose ?
>>581969317This is almost as retarded as making Fay Enchantress a vampire.
>>581969317Was it nurgle that caused Isabella to strangle her 3 children to death while Vlad was out getting blood?
Damn. It's perfect. Read the writing you'll have to look forward to from every game for the next decade as they all start to use AI instead of writers.
>>581963521>Fixed a black line in the texture of the Bretonnian Peasant's bow.>Fixed an issue where Louen Leoncoeur’s 3D model was missing mouth textures.Bretonnia rework.>We have added new VO lines for these legacy characters/units: Luthor Harkon>Fixed an issue where Vampire Coast Lords could switch to any other stance after using the 'Dig for Treasure' stance, including stances that require Action Points.>Rites Cooldown Rebalancing: Curse of the Sea Mist: 30 20 / Curse of Eternal Service: 20 15 / Curse of the Queen’s Cannon: 25 20VampCoast rework.
>>581969465>mfw this mod was never made available in English ;_;
>>581969923That coast rework is actually more substantial than the original kislev rework.
>>581969716>Malekith / Tyrion>I am Malekith, rightful king of Ulthuan.>You're the Witch King.>It's a PR problem.>You burned half the world.>I was young and angry. Now I'm old and angry. Growth.>I'm Tyrion, defender of Ulthuan.>You're also short.>I'm average height for an elf.>That's what short elves say.You're mom didn't think I was short
>>581969430Obviously for making her a legendary hero for Nurgle.
>>581967031>These are our people.Better be a shot of a multiracial group as he says this
How do I play Pirates of Sartosa?
>>581970061As if his mother was known to be picky.
Is there a good orc crossbowmen mod for a Gorbad campaign that's not insane cheating and just a slightly weaker variant of the regiment of renown unit?They look cool as fuck and orcs with crossbows sounds cooler than orcs with bows.
>>581961113>>581961662We simply have to post enough for Wednesday and Thursday to get threads. Get to it anons
I love how a wild Beastmen herd can make my campaign need to be restarted after 12 turns.
>>581968092>Best music among all Races already exist>not used in campaign or battleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3BQs9NWzXo&list=RDb3BQs9NWzXo&start_radio=1
>>581964229>Not spotting the obvious Tzeentch trickery in disguise>>581965486No such thing, she was getting piped by Daniel discreetly.>>581967031Do Gelt anon, I like what you're cooking.
>>581971373It's cool because it's rare, like Queen BessOr pre-ET zombie dragons
>>581970716You don't as they suck compared to other vampirates
>>581968603>Should I even bother doing Realms of Chaos?Chaos Dwarfs have unique battles in RoC, and the Dark Lands are hueg there, so if you've got them, yes
>>581970716You close the game and go watch one of the original three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, your choice as to which.
>>581972431Yeah but I don't want to do special shit, I just want to raid.
Is there a way to turn off objectives for campaigns? It seems like following them deliberately sabotages you.
>>581972786What you mean 'turn them off'Just don't do them then
>>581971741>Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen.>Now, before anyone asks—yes, this is dangerous.>Very dangerous.>In fact, if we're being completely honest, some of you probably aren't making it home.>And, well... some of you may come back.>Just not technically as yourselves.>But don't worry. I've made arrangements.>If the dead should claim you, I give you my word: I will see your bodies delivered safely to Morr's Garden.>Because gold?>Gold comes and goes.>Though for me it mostly comes.>Your soul, on the other hand, is rather more difficult to replace.>So.>Enough introductions.>We've got an army of undead marching toward us, and somewhere in all this chaos is an eldritch amulet that I desperately need to—>... for entirely selfless reasons, I assure you...>It's for the good of the Empire!>Mostly.>So what do you say?>You strike down the undead.>I find the amulet.>And if everything goes according to plan, we all walk away heroes.>Most of us, at least.>Now come on.>Let's go save the Empire.
>>581972881Okay except then not doing them bothers me forever because there are rewards. But I'm tired of being directed to take territory that simply no person can unless on Normal unless they wanna spend 10 turns dealing with the infinite shitstacks of the very first enemy you're forced to deal with.
>HOLY SHIT GUYS... WE FUARKING FIXED THE AI.... THIS TIME FOR REALSIES!!!!
Favorite faction?
>>581967117>Skulltaker wasting time killing mook infantryAny unit is a good unit if it's wasting that midget's time
>>581973426Chevaliers de Lyonesse

>>581973426anything that isnt cathay
>>581969923YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE ARE SO BACK
Bro I'm fucking tired of every campaign being a list of new player traps that you HAVE to learn by trial and error.
>>581970716rush the pirate bitch's treasure hunter(?) skill and make mad cash sailing the seas
>>581974257Maybe if you played the game more conservatively you wouldn't have to minmax every time and face some actually difficult battles at the beginning.
>>581973426vampire coastbretonnia
>>581974548Ah yes. Let me just sit in my starting city with no provinces to my name. THAT'LL help me keep up with the enemy AI!
>>581974257>he pushed left instead of rightCLASSIC noob error
Why does the Savannah climate exist? There are like 3 regions worth of it on the entire map.
>>581969716I got Endless Legend 2 recently and it's so fucking blatant many of the dialogues are AI written because many look almost exactly like this, and there's zero fucking difference in tone between the factions. The faction of ancestral sand genies who don't even have a humanoid forms but instead look like floating pyramids and sigils talks like "Hell yeah! We did it!". It's extremely jarring.
>>581973586Funny how Bretonnia have a "Chevaliers de Lyonesse" faction but Helves have a "Knights of Caledor" faction.Do you reckon if they add a Reiksguard faction led by Kurt helborg it would be called "Knights of the Reiksguard" or "Ritter der Reiksguard" ?
>>581973383You joke but if woc can recruit armies I literally don't care about anything else that modders can fix easily.
>>581974817every battle map in Athel Loren looks like a lightly wooded savanna.
>>581969716I just want White men making my video games again, is all.
>>581975032if
So how will Archaon's invasion go when playing as a chaos LL? Will it be like Norsca in game 1 and 2 where you can become the everchosen or will it be like the current end game crisis that you're just against the end game crisis no matter what.
>>5819734261. chorfs2. tomb kangs3. lizardmen
>>581931118Probably a bit late but that problem with Glottkin is that he isn't a nurgle faction, he's a WoC faction with a nurgle flavor which is why he's ass. If he was mono nurgle he'd be better.That reminds me, iirc in one of the old dev blog posts didn't they say they were working on a way to make the dedicated WoC factions able to be confederated by the monogod factions?
>>581975145Great book of grudges actually did a timelapse. You can choose whether to join or oppose and if you join the AI basically wins for you and cannot fight back well.I guess it's a good time to RP as redeemed norscans ulfric or your khazrak/boris fantasies.
>>581966261I just finished the Space Marine 2 campaign (holy FUCK what a good game) and the dialogues were actually very fitting. There was no out of place quips or dumb millennial ironic writing. Just good ol' grimderp and rule of cool.
>>5819734261. Dwarfs.2. Lizardmen.3. Orks.Coincidentally, the armies I own for WHFB.
>>581975145iirc the "Chaos End Time Event" is not possible when playing a Chaos faction.

>>581975620dawn of war 3 was not a bad game and you should try it.
>>581975735Dawn of War II*
>>581975902No ,that was the bad one that removed all RTS elements.
>>581975983You are fully retarded. It's terminal, I'm afraid.
>>581972886Beautiful, thank you anon. No AI could compare in your Ruinous Powers
>>581975461>Objective: Defend the Banner
Fuck it, I'm letting Tilea live. On "normal" campaign difficulty the first enemy can be enough to totally stop all your momentum. What if, instead of just giving the enemies buffs, the enemies could make rational campaign decisions instead?
>>581973426The Northern Provinces
>>581976172For the Emperor and for the Primarch!

>>581976414I'm tired of games that glorify the imperium
>>581976480youre not a faction
>>581977046Imperium planet.Imperium internetImperium website.
>>581977046Problem is it doesn't matter how shitty the Imperium can get, most normies don't wanna play as the bad guys so you're always gonna play as the one uncomplicated good guy in a terrible regime, and the devs are still gonna have to make the game make you look and feel cool.
>>581975461>holy FUCK what a good gameIt's because you say things like this about games like SM2 that people refuse to take your opinions seriously.
>>581977736Cheer up anon.
>>581977598I just want to play a chaos space marine and kill planets so khorne will give me cool shit.

>>581977598>most normies don't wanna play as the bad guysthat's why you play tau
>>581978205Didn't the tau get grimdank'd too, with eugenics and shit
>>581978205Most normies also fear any sort of community scorn and boy you're gonna get it if you play Tau. They can eat shit though, the Tau are cool.>>581978378They did a bit, still not to the level of the Imperium, but they upped the sinister conspiracy side of the faction with the ethereals being at best extremely pragmatic despite their good intentions and at worst actual manipulators taking advantage of everyone else.You do still have the Farsight Enclaves if you want a true actually-completely-good-no-cons faction though.
I think a lot of people are going to seethe when their super space marines actually die in battles
Wouldn't you rather that the next Total War game had let you recruit Bull Centaurs? 40k won't let you do that.
>>581978943Hahaha all they had to do was sit on the franchise They already should know this shit from DoW helping 40k so there's no excuse
>>581978943Imma be straight with you anon, I rarely use them even when I do play Chorfs. Since I usually pick Drazhoath and stack Infernal Guard and K'daai.
>>581978378people moaned at release that they didnt fit in the setting as they werent miserable, dark and evil, but fans at the time were missing the pointthe Tau are an incredibly young civilisation. Over time all empires when faced with the horrors of the 40k universe make more and more morally wrong choices out of desperation or necessity and the Tau just havent been around long enough to do that. Humans, Eldar, Necrons etc all had their fall eons ago, eventually over time just existing in the setting will make them colder, they will have to make sacrifices on a societal level that will eventually lead them down the same path of cruelty humanity took.the Tau are young, energetic and even positive seeming, but it wont be like that forever
>>581975461Space Marine 2 was Space Marine: Marvelslop Edition. A glorified toy commercial for Primaris, zero writing of value, boring gameplay, a very lacking single player campaign that is both short and dull. The only good thing to come out of Space Marine 2 was the co-op operation missions.
>>58197894319 blunderbusses
>>581978741>You do still have the Farsight Enclaves if you want a true actually-completely-good-no-cons faction though.I like the tau. what I hate about 40k is that everyone is stupid. Tau are the closest we get to fantasy logic where most order factions are on good terms.
>>581979449I disagree.
>>581975461yeah its great. the coop missions too.
So when I play Pirates of Sartosa, am I supposed to just never take territory? Because the game still gave me objectives to take territory.
>>581979192I wish that was good because I love Drazhoath's themes but the bull centaur line gives you a ton of units while sorcerers are already your lords
>>581979602I noticed. You are welcome to your opinion, even if I do not agree with it.
>Glottkin quest battle is an Altdorf gauntlet where they kick the asses of Karl, Louen, and VladWhat a bunch of jobbers.

>>581975983It's funny to me that DoWII still has this oldfag 8ch "but it doesn't have muh base-building!" held against it, when, nearly 20 years later, time has vindicated it in that most players do not like base-building.
>>581973426actually starting to feel it's dwarfsthey feel just the right level of busted nowadays with the insane growth youu can get for being aggresive
>>581979870It really hammers in just how overwhelmingly powerful the Glottkin are.Karl Franz couldn't fight Archaon, Kholek and Be'lakor at the same time.
>>581964918Saved
>>581979543Part of the appeal of 40k is seeing all the missed opportunities for coexistence of some sort come and go because some absolute bastard dynamited them for one reason or another, like a fucked up over the top schadenfreude that lasts 10 millennia. Like, history would have been so different if FUCKING EREBUS wasn't present when Horus met the Interex. The Imperium's attitude towards aliens might have been completely different 10k years later.
>>581980334No but a stack of outriders and hochlands could
>>581980518I agree but now that the IP moved purely into parodying fascists it's not fun to just have it all soapboxed at you.
>>581964918
>>581973426Vlad > Repanse > Belegar
I don't have fun on the campaign settings I'm on but I feel like a bitch if I turn down the difficulty.I wish the AI just was slightly smarter than "dumb as bricks" because I'm tired of strategy games where you're either steamrolling a toddler or you're getting steamrolled by a retarded HGH addict with the mind of a toddler.
>>581981202Just play multiplayer

Okay so I upped the battle difficulty because the AI is retarded but I think 5%+ is way too high, enemies beat me regularly with 10 less units than I have.
>>581982579If you aren't on legendary campaign difficulty there's no reason to touch stat cheats
>>581983283Yeah but the AI is just something you cheese if you don't at least give them some boost. And Legendary sounds horrific. "Normal" is already bad, giving the AI cheats because somehow CA is too retarded to make sure that in the turn-based portion of the game the AI builds non-retarded things.
Y U NO RIKE CATHAY
>>581983467Uh, buddy, I think you got the wrong thread. We love the Empire of Grand Cathay here.
I strongly dislike the idea that you should always and easily get all the legendary lords of your faction. Sadly CA caved to the players on this one.
>>581983467they chinky
>>581981583I like vampires.>>581982036>TRUE KING OF 8 PEAKS :PI like how in Old World Campaign him, Skarsnik, and Queek all start at 8 peaks or one province away from it.
>>581981997HAHAHAHA
>>581983702
>>581983690>boots up minor faction mod>renames every Lord recruited and gives them their own lore>the unique mechanic is not being carried by mechanics
>>581983690yes. say NO to confederations
>>581983690I believe you should always be able to get the LLs of your factionStuff like recruit defeated legendary lords is too easy and respawning them through rebellion is too scuffed and annoying, a middle ground would be nice
>>581961964Can you burn the books?
Rejoice, unit testers!You can now form armies in custom battles without a lord.
>>581961964can you smoke the books?
>>581983690I think Confederations make sense for some factions, the Empire, Bretonnia, Archaon.For many factions I think the vassalage/alliance system needs a serious revamp, like for Lizardmen, Dwarfs, Wood Elves, and Norsca.For Vampires, Ogres, and Greenskins I'd prefer something like...>When dealing with another LL of the same race you have tasks to accomplish to prove your strength>While strength is proven, you kill one of the same race LLs in battle.>Then you get to choose to vassalize their faction, cause rebellions to breakout in every one of their settlements (and remove the LL from the game), or to confederate their lands, causing massive public order penalties in their settlements, and removing the LL from the game because you killed them.Make it feel different for each race.
>>581985621that sounds like a massive pain in the ass in a campaign already filled with massive pains in the ass.
>>581985621What about Skaven?
just refunded and then bought the dlc AGAIN to inflate sales numbers
>>581985613heck yeah

>>581988193
>>581988028dude they call anything that is not hyper-capitalistic or soulless as idolatry. Haven't seen them attack orthodox so its probably just being spiteful of Catholics
>>581988249ironic given that protestants are the biggest jew lovers and the literally one of the reasons why the americans tried to invade Canada was to free the jews from oppression of the Catholics in Quebec

>>581989223wrong, if anything the priestly class in Catholicism who think they have authority above scripture more closely resembles the Rabbinate Protestants were the ones to start translating the bible into peoples native languages instead of just the liturgical latin that only priests could read. Of course that would threaten Catholics who practice a bunch of nonsense not in the bible

>>581989804Bruh latin was the common language of europe. Every educated person could read it. And yes, the catholics DID translate the bible into local languages.The problem catholics had with early prot bibles were not that they translated them, but that they were not good translations, and they often introduced novel content. See the whole Jehovah nonsense, johannine comma, etc
>>581990290>AoW4 any decent?I'll let you know once I stop getting overwhelmed with systems and tutorials and actually find my footing.The sheer amount of customization options would indicate that it's gonna be a good time though.
>>581990290Noteanoyoreto but AoW4 is very fun and well made if you like the formula. IF! Everyone in my strategy game friend group either loves it or hates it. If you like tactical hex combat and RPG style buildcraft I'd try it.

>>581990364In the case of spoken tongue sure, but the physical written text was not really made available to people outside the clergy nor were there full translations rather certain excerpts would be translated for use most common being the book of psalms and the four gospels. Most people were illiterate so It didnt really matter, but as time passed and more and more people were educated, people sought to have the bible translated for their own study. People like Tyndale were burned at the stake for it despite their translations being of extraordinary accuracy for the time given the circumstances and resources available to him.

Catholic authorities condemned it as a Protestant text and did not use it.

>>581994080>was tried convicted of heresy by representatives of the church for his translationsNo he wasn't, he was convicted for recruiting Lutheran heresy. The church allowed him to continue translating and publishing his translations in prison.>by whos authority could a heresy conviction even be identified and applied to his crime if not the church? The government. They ask the catholic church to confirm the heresy they charge someone with, and if they do they carry out the execution>it was Henry VIII who used his translation for the Church of England after breaking with RomeOkay? What does that have to do with it? The Church allowed him to continue translating.It's a very well documented execution, and the Inquisitor who confirmed Tyndale was not a catholic wrote a nice book outlining why he was executed. You can still read it and should. Tyndale was killed for being a Lutheran and a Protestant, not for translating Bibles.
>>581987372FF7 Remake Part 2, though otherwise I'd probably replay Sekiro or Emulate Bloodborne
I really like playing Malus Darkblade.
>>581996830The authorities carried out the sentence, but the charge of heresy could not be used without the authority of catholic representatives>Okay? What does that have to do with it?Gee idk, maybe that he was given permission to continue translating by the now Protestant Church of England not Rome?
if pope not smart why he agree with smart people on cnn?chekmate jews
>>581997376The AI is wrong because it's using a prot source, Brigham Young University Religious Studies. That's a biased protestant source not interested in the truth.Find any source not affiliated with a major protestant church. Tyndale was killed for his differences in belief on the following doctrines:On faithOn charityOn the keysOn bishops, priests and deaconsOn obedience even to a bad prelateOn vowsOn oathsOn fastingOn the saints reigning with ChristOn the relics of saintsOn images of Christ and the saintsOn purgatoryOn the justification of the impiousOn sacramentsHe who worthily receives sacraments receives graceThe authority of the pope over the church and any member of itHe was NOT killed for translating the Bible. No non-protestant source says this. It's a common misconception, like the Jehovah issue or Luther's stance on the canon.
Total War?
total war is gay and cringe and you are also gay and cringescreencap this
>>581998476Total War: Wars of Religion when?
Anyone who plays this shit on a higher campaign difficulty than no bonuses and gives the AI battle bonuses is an insane person who hates fun.
Who will be the Zhatan the Black of Total War: Warhammer 40,000?
>>581998939I find very hard fun. Don't be dissuaded by people who say you need to build cheese armies, you can kind of just chill and build whatever as long as you know how to maneuver and position.
>>581999220Very Hard BATTLE is fun, but not fun with any stat modifiers since in makes some armies absolutely disgusting busted.Anything above Normal for campaign difficulty is for people that like fighting the same battle in the same location over and over, assuming you don't just get raped and spitroasted by three factions all at once, one of which has 5 doomstacks and doesn't even have a single full province to his name. And frankly. Normal is pushing it.No Bonuses campaign would be fine if CA didn't lazily put the campaign AI together so that AI builds retarded unoptimal shit.
1 day and 14 hours.I guess that is 2PM British Time on Thursday.
>>581999553You don't need to exaggerate. VH gives the AI significant advantages, especially in how many troops they can maintain. It's not unwinnable, and you can and should still expand rapidly. You just need to think a bit, and be broadly familiar with your surroundings.
>>581997972Its a technicality, his charge wasnt for his translation but his translation is what had him killed. In his defence he used scripture to show his supposed heretical teachings were original christian doctrine and stated "I have never altered, against the voice of my conscience, one syllable of His Word. Nor would do this day, if all the pleasure, honours, and riches of the earth might be given me.">The authority of the pope over the church and any member of itOn most of these Latomus couldnt really argue with him, outside of this last one which is what ultimately condemned him.A classic story of Catholics being presented with scripture and getting upset because they got called out for going against it and then pulling the authority card and having the accused killed.
>>581998939the game is mind numbingly easy even on the hardest settings. you'd have to be retarded to find enjoyment in bulldozing the AI on lower difficulties.
>>582000173That's a pretty soft way of "trial and error until you know how to cut off all surrounding factions in your starting position effectively so that you can actually start playing the game."
>>581966243>attila had it>it was badly implemenented It makes sense when you realize TWW was a cashgrab and CA deve loved it with attila's as a basis.
>>582000302But the AI never gets any better. It just gets more irritating. That's the problem. 2026 and literally no strategy game knows how to make AI that can be even a little bit fun.
>>582000473Long lost technology. Like going to the moon.
>>582000473when the fuck will they put LLMs to actual good use and make better game AI
One more day until we can all play daniel modded with Nagash pyramid.
>>582000242>his charge wasnt for his translation but his translation is what had him killedThe translation his jailors let him continue to produce?Tyndale is just one of many protestant martyrs killed for preaching protestantism.Protestants make up this translation business being the cause of his death because it makes catholics look like they didn't want people to read the Bible. This has never been true. Around this time, the Catholic church would have a Bible on a chain in their churches so visitors could freely come and read it.So many Protestants are trapped in a system of tradition that prevents them from seeing the truth of Christ. It's a shame to see them preach lies when men like Tyndale died for truth.Also his translation sucks, for many reasons, most notably the Jehovah issue.
>>581995304Thanks. I just don't enjoy dual starts. Can does the campaign allow you to fuck back to Ultuhuan with Eltharion?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82lppr8cGOwNever forget your roots.
>>582000642The turn-based campaign shit shouldn't even be hard. It should just need a sheet for every faction that shows the most optimal way to build. Then make the most optimal way Very Hard (WITH NO FUCKING BONUSES) and then maybe we can get somewhere.Instead with strategy games your options are "haha easy baby mode no one plays on easy" or cock and ball torture where you must make every move exactly right within 10 turns or you lost.
>>582000642Most people don't actually want the AI to be good, they want it to be easy and straightforward
I wish Cathay could send caravans to Chorfs and vice-versa
>>582001174>The translation his jailors let him continue to produce?Yes, that doesnt change that it was his translation that ultimately got him killed>Also his translation sucksI disagree given what he had available too his, he was a great theologian and linguist though fwiw I do agree somewhat that his use of language was fuelled in some instances of being petty against the church, such as changing charity, and priestMy main issue with these events is its always with the excommunicating and burning, the church really didnt help itself. Protestants didnt just fall from the sky, they were all catholics once who felt the church was going astray and were often made martyrs just for trying to do something about it.>So many Protestants are trapped in a system of tradition that prevents them from seeing the truth of Christ.Is exactly what Protestants would say about Catholics
>>581989115Surpised GW hasnt gone for moths angle. Those things are scarier and more horrid than all fies put together (grave moths or giant moth from resident evil comes to mind)
Retards on the CA forums are saying Markus Wulfhart should have been a LH instead of a LL.
>>582000425It's a deliberate gameplay element. Can you get away with waiting several turns to get the best possible version of a unit, or do you need an army to be on the move right this second?
>>582002146Moths are fluffy and retarded while Flies are pestilent shit eaters that love decay and rot.

>>582001249Yeah, after capturing your 1st settlement you get a dilemma: 1)Keep both Eltharion's army in the Badlands + the army and your capital city in Yvresse.2)Give up the army and capital city in Yvresse and focus only in the Badlands.If you want to play only on Ulthuan the move is the choose to keep Yvress but then disband Eltharion army.
Okay, I don't care anymore. I don't fucking care. I do not enjoy Very Hard campaign. I do not enjoy Normal campaign. And while I do enjoy Very Hard battles I do not enjoy giving the AI any bonuses.I am a weak baby bitch, I don't care anymore.

>>582002280Skaven rework, ideally some FLC content like legendary heroes or a lord or some shit for the few minor clans. DELFs, Lizards, Cathay or Ogres. Ogres are kind of jewed but that's the price of being an FLC faction
The Chinese leaker said they Sigmar would be added and that Ulthuan would sink.
>>582004351>Skaven reworkBottom of the list for reworks. Rats lived their absolute best lives throughout all of WH2
>>582004430What were their previous leaks? Do they have any track records?
>>582003730This is true.
>Characters without ranged attacks now receive the melee-only version of the Weapon Master trait.Fuck you CA, my melee lord can get ranged mount and you deprived me of an option of rolling for a ranged bonus.

>>582005393Oh no
>>582005393Now imagine being Miao Ying and you have to kill them both
>>582004351Skaven is pretty much done imo, maybe you can update the older lords but it's pretty much doneUnless they really want to revamp undercities but they kinda did that by giving Thanquol betterUndercities as a mechanic
>>582004603Literally got the whole ToT DLC right.
I dislike that some gun units have friendly fire and others do not.
>>582005861Okay I believe it now

>>582004430>Ulthuan would sink.CA spoke about this iirc for the End TimesThat it would be too much work and it would ruin the mapstate if they just removed the island or somesthing for their end times eventCool that they would actually do this now
Nice of them to fix this
>>582006070It's this attitude that makes people want to disagree with you.
HOLYFUCK THEY FIXED CREAMAPINO MORE FREE DLC FOR CHEAPOS!!!!CHECK REDDIT!!!

>>582007096I wonder if the AI counts can research the tech if you're also playing as vamps
Would /twg/ be able to win this battle?
Still missing WH2 DLCs. I'll probably grab them when they're 75% off
>>582008901That's what you get for bringing spears to a gun fight
>>582010186What about this one?
Why do ratfags want to have sex with this guy? he's fugly as shit
>>581987372I'm playing Approximately Up. I kinda don't wanna play DLC, I wanna continue playing YinYin but there is no way to stop the update so it will brick my campaign. Been killing my total war mood.

#RemigrateGeltGIVE ME BACK MY LANDMARK
am i a tasteless chud for being bored by tomb kings
>>582013196No. They're a shit faction.
>>582004480>>582005843I just want Skrolk, Queek, and Tretch to not be the most barebones boring nonsense. Tyrion and Teclis both have real campaign mechanics now. I guess technically all the 8-peaks factions are kinda barebones since 8 peaks itself is pretty barebones, but you get how it is. DELFs too, Malekith is unironically no better than using a faction unlocker to get yourself a generic DELF faction
>>582011068He's funny and incompetent (and well-groomed, for a Skaven). True though, I'd rather fuck Queek
>>582012871I agree but what else are we putting there? Zhao would drown.>>582012457Ah.. grim dawn, the baldurs gate 3 of arpgs.. the absolute worst there ever was, by the makers of the best there ever was, titan quest. Just like how divinity2 is the best crpg and baldurs gate is the worst.Tho that's kind of an insult to balding gate. That is at least playable.
If you had to pick three factions for the next DLC, what would they be?
>>582013196They have two playable factions and you kind of have to really leverage their end-game monster units to make the army any fun to play. So unless you're good at micro and frequently fight battles, yeah they're kind of boring. Settra has relatively little challenge until he finishes Africa, Arkhan likewise but he's got an OP magic lore. Infinite armies kind of make them pretty strong
>>582014231pygmies bretonnia and dark elves
>>582014231yin-yin solos all 3 end times scenarios at once
>>582010356
>>582014619Okay, so you picked Cathay, now pick two more, Aquafag.
>>582014669Melee troops have an advantage in siege battles.Honestly that's what they're for. In regular land battles, you need to use the terrain to avoid heavy losses.
>>582014231Any 3 dragons For Grand Cathay.
>>582014231>Tzeentch>Cathay>Ogre/Vampirates/Beastmemes/Delf
Really fucking not liking Skaven being able to actively attack you in an ambush. What the fuck DON'T these fuckers have?
>>582013873Honestly if they do go through with a definitive edition it better have completely rebuilt campaigns for every faction.You don't fuck over a massive modder base without a lot of work and effort put behind it to show people you're not just being Bethesda.>>582014231Green Knight as a Bretonnian Horde FactionAbhorash as a vampire horde faction.DELF rework in place of a third lord.
>>582014941>What the fuck DON'T these fuckers have?A straight fanbase.
>>582014941Just move in encamped stance. Rats can do nothing if you encamp and you can wipe their settlements alongside their armies in a fake-siege (attack their army next to their settlement)
>>582014797You sure?
>>582015164See now you're using an army with a charge ability. Not katana samurai, which is what I was talking about. And all I'm really saying is "use hills to avoid enemy fire".

>>582014619I thought females were supposed to have breasts?

>>582017524>Power levels.>Modern 40k.Ah, the GW Paypig in all his abhorrent glory. All you need now is to talk about how great the Primarchslop is!
>>582014231Bretonia, dark elfs, Tzeentch
>>582013873The same can be said for a lot of factions that still have 1 or more dedicated "vanilla" lords. Vampire Counts, Lizardmen who have fucking 4, Dwarfs, Delfs.
>>582016230>pvpWhy does it look so weird? What kind of samurai are those?
>>582017838You thought wrong.
Turn 47 on No Bonuses and I'm almost to getting my third territory.
>>582018237how do i get a cgf
>>582018604Not entirely sure what c stands for but if it's cunny, all you have to do is play and love, love Grand Cathay.
I want to do a mod (cheat) run before ETRecommend me good mod (cheat)
>>582018081Even High Elf vanilla is relatively involved and interesting because of the Ulthuan mechanics though, having vanilla lords isn't a problem but a vanilla lord with a vanilla faction is pretty painful. Lizardbros are cucked
>>582018969There was a 1 man army doomguy mod you can still get at Nexus for the goodguy factionsHe just raped everything
How do I stop my allies from taking territory that I desperately need.
>>582019498Disband the alliance and declare war on the same turn
What new voicelines do you think they added to Herman Ghorst?
>Start Tyrion Mortal Empires campaign.>Doing pretty well.>Feeling confident.>Avelorn randomly falls to Dark Elves by turn 4.>Other High Elves are losing ground as well.Oh boy.
>>582019498take a territory they really need and trade settlementsyou can also set targets for them in war coordination but its not reliable
>>582020116Ugly bastards are great.I want a fat, bald, ugly Cathayan caravan master.
>>582020112>>582019498To add on to this, though the AI is pretty unlikely to give you settlements, if you can't confed, you can load up a random connected settlement with a t3 defense building and 2 military buildings and they'll massively overvalue it. Really though>Ally
>>582020294Damn he looks just like Lord Magistrate/Caravan Master with uncanny similarity
>>582020551Pure, Cathayan, Sex.I wanna ride his caravan all the way to Marienburg and back.
Cathay love
Well apparently I just deserve to suffer because after about 50 turns I finally killed the skaven in front of me and managed to get 3 whole provinces.
>>582022950I agree.>>582023021What are you talking about?
>>582023021Suffer bitch
>>581988249Martin was 100% right about the papacy and church of his time though
>>582016230You should take more cheap troops
Zhatan's campaign isn't really fun bros...
Consider this:A Total War Saga: A Song of Ice and Fire
>>582024659Which one?The immortal empires start position is kind of suffering, especially if you don't like CathayThe Realms of Chaos Zhatan is genuinely transcendent, it's the best Chorf campaign and probably the best RoC campaign
>>582024816HmmNyo.
>>581993648So you'se da king undah the mountain?
>>582002220Literally no one has played him and the few that did didn't enjoy it anyway.
>>582024860immortal empires
>>582024816GoT is honestly pretty boring for a TW game. Other than dragons, ice zombies, and green greek fire, there isn't anything that distinguishes from a normal Medieval setting.It's actually really inconsistent about the exact tech level it operates on, and runs mostly on vibes and reddit tier arguments.>um, ballista could totally take out a dragon>but dragons are magical nukes>but there are still infantry battles and sieges for some reason, despite a major historical event establishing that it is pointless to fight against any side that has dragons and everyone on the continent surrendered rather than do that
Dwarf status:Zhufbar: Crushed by ThanquolUngrim: Contained by Azhag and NeferataThorgrim: Pincered by Skarsnik and GorbadMalakai: Fighting off the entire Chaos invasion armed only with a big blimp and an angry Russian TsarGrombrindal: Still brooding over MalekithBelegar: Can't even leave his home province let alone reclaim Eight PeaksThorek Ironbrow: This boomer is just about the only Dwarf that got anything done but now he has to contend with NagashGreybeard Prospectors: Probably trying to survey the most distant land possible at this pointKarak Barr: Dead by turn 5Those Dwarfs in the Mountains of Mourn: Begging for Bugman to save themBretonnian Dwarfs: Getting hammered by new and improved Kemmler + KrellAthel Loren Dwarfs: Learning that wood is far more powerful than steelKarak Azul: Praying that Queek is too busy with Imrik to remember to finish them offIf ever you thought your race had it bad... just remember, you could have been a Dwarf.
>>582025729Lore accurate.And it makes dorf campaigns fun.
>>582025729>ungrim caring about azhag in the slightestazhag could be a generic orc lord and he'd be a bigger threat
You know, on second thought, I probably should have just allied with the Skaven so I could get their shit later down the line through outposts, but for some reason I have this autistic obsession with allying with the "good" factions while playing Pirates of Sartosa.
>>582025729Thanquol exists just to be eliminated by Vlad or Thorgrim.
TAKING SKAVENBLIGHT ASAP AS THANQUOL
>>582025918ntaIf you play as Ungrim yeah.But AI Ungrim seems to be around 50/50 if he beats Azhag or not.Mostly comes down to if Silver pinnacle or Vlad declare war on him
bros...im not finding chaos dwarves fun
>>582026029what if ikit has it and doesn't want to confederate
>>582025729QUEEKchads
>>582026063True, the AI has a really hard time contending with WAAAAAGH mechanics unless they've got some absolute horseshit autoresolve values like norscans or chaos with their fast monster lords but I'm just seething that after all the insane greenskin updates and DLC's there's no actual true boy lord and the best you get is that waste of good squig food who has the main gimmick of using fear and routing against the army that's unbreakable.Being a greenskin fan is a unique hell because I'm in heaven complaining I'm not also getting a foot massage for free.
>>582026228They aren't. You park blunderbusses behind infantry and go afk.. and then u get cucked by unit caps.
every faction should have unit caps honestly.
>>582026260sexo rato
>>582024659>>582024860Every IE Chorf campaign is kind of CBT
>>582026445Maybe something like Medieval 2 where there is a soft unit cap when it comes to recruitment.
>>582025661BIG BALLISTA GO BRRR :)
>>582026629I'm just tired of doomstacks on both sides. I don't want to meet 6 mammoths or anything equivalent and I don't want to field them, which I don't.
>>582026630It normally wouldn't be a problem. But GoT is built on "dragons completely changed Westeros's political landscape, and are SUPER important guys".It's as if vampires took over a continent, everyone agreed that it is impossible to stop vampires, and then 100 years later they're using garlic like it is no big deal. But vampires are still VERY important!
>>582026228>>582026298Unit caps are go up pretty fast once you upgrade your starting province, but you don't have many good choices for expanding since Grimgor and Tamurkhan have to go ASAP. Anyway>Bull Centaurs are the strong, basically super cavalry>Chaff is so cheap you can just them to buy time with endless armies>no supply linesOnce they get going they really can get going
>>582026753Then you are in the wrong game. You want a game that never evolves. I'm not even sure if such a game exists tho.
>>582026630It wouldn't even have to be that big of a ballista.Problem is it needs to be able to turn quite fast and in extreme angles
>>582026881I like a few mammoths but every lategame AI army just turning into mammoths instead of using any other lategame infantry to support them sucks.
>>582026808No they don't. With the cost increase I can't keep making full dwarf armies on CD. By turn 70-90 I start making a new army and once it's done start the next. I never stop making armies and the chords can't do that so I was forced to not play the game. I had to take on minimal opponents and small fronts. Chrofs are unplayable trash past turn 50. Sadly the same is true for beastmen.
>>582026445Bhashiva had it and people hated it
>unit caps are....LE BAD!!!
Every other day with the cúck cap supporters..I'm tired, b0ss..
UGLEH
>>582027112>people hated itDid they now?
>>582026785Martin has a pretty solid grasp on the actual political and emotional drama, but all the supernatural elements are kinda barebones or nonsense I think. I'll choose to believe the TV shows aren't canon
No Bonuses campaign/Very Hard battles with no modifiers seems to be the sweet spot.
>>582027027ArmamentmaxYou don't need mines, you can get raw materials from razing
>>582027027That's why you make hobgobbos armies to sack or pure chaff to support your elite chorf army. Either way, full chorfs are so overstatted they shouldn't ever be losing except against even more OP stuff
>>582027309GoT is ashamed that it is low fantasy.And like it or not, but the TV shows are actually more canon than the books when it comes to certain details that the books glossed over. Like House of the Dragon is more canon than the fictional document that is the book.
>anti unit cap supporters are cathay niggers that just want to spam dragons to autoresolve everythingmakes sense, get a trip so I can filter you already, faggot.
>>582027410Doesn't having Gorduz embedded make at least one of your hobgoblin armies capable of even being viable late game?
>>582027451GoT isn't low fantasy though.
>>582027329I always play VH/VH with no stat bonuses. It really makes this game so much better than wh2. I finally learned to love melee infantry. Having them lose the 1v1 was just retarded af.>>582027410I don't need a support army and I don't wanna babysit a fucking gobbo army. I had like 3 of them and only one, the one with the unique hero was capably of doing anything. The others just waddled around doing nothing because they can't even handle city garrisons because there they have to fight chosen, dragon guards and whatnot. I'm not gonna sit there and manual cheese every fucking battle with a mage on a flying mount or whatever.>>582027469Cathay can't recruit dragons, tourist.
>>582027583it's no outrider stack
>>582027636It is the definition of low fantasy. The supernatural elements are alien to an otherwise realistic setting.
>>582027668I just want a fair fight against an enemy that takes at least a minimum of brainpower to kill in battles, but I also don't want to be getting raped early game by 3 different factions or having to war of attrition my way through a one-city faction in the late game that's just shitting out doomstacks.
>>582027726You don't know what the definition of low fantasy is, you're making a fool of yourself.Lort of the Rings is unironically more low fantasy than GoT.
>>582027726>>582027891Warhammer Fantasy?
>>582027891Lord of the Rings dabbles in low fantasy, it is true, but it is ultimately epic high fantasy if you look into the lore.Meanwhile, GoT is "dragons were summoned into the world through blood magic, that's weird" and "a bunch of ice zombies were summoned into the world by angry tree elves, that's weird". Everything about magic in GoT is weird, and the Gods are silent. That's low fantasy.
>>582027958Warhammer Fantasy is very high fantasyIt just generally has a gritty, violent, and dirty tone
>>582028026I suggest you look up what the definition of low and high fantasy actually is.
mushoku tensei is low fantasy
>>582028130Would you might even say it's... Grim?
>>582027837I like having more armies to fight cause that means more loot. When I see an AI stack 6 armies into their one city I get hype. 6 TIMES THE BLOODSHED!The only thing I hate is when the AI has armies everywhere.. I currently have Aislinn camp one city with 3 armies, Aislinn himself is in Ind and another of his armies is near Imrik. That means it's gonna take me some 15 turns just to place armies in all these locations to kill him quickly. That's really annoying.
>>582028201more like PEDOfantasy
>>582028246Maybe I could see that being fun if you were going for a tall style campaign but I prefer to expand everywhere I can.
>>582028153I already have to check.>Low fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy fiction in which magical events intrude on an otherwise normal world. The term thus contrasts with high fantasy stories, which take place in fictional worlds that have their own sets of rules and physical laws.Game of Thrones is so low fantasy that the intellectual monks of the setting make a point to prove to all new members of their order that magic doesn't exist. Another key point is the ambiguity of how magic works, and whether Gods exist at all or if it all just blood magic weirdness.
>>582028316>normal world>fictional worldAnon, where on Earth is Westeros?
>>582028396>it's fictional, SO THEREFORE NO LOW FANTASY IS POSSIBLEGrasping at straws now.
>>582028213dark even
>>582028427No, the definition of low fantasy is that it takes place on Earth with fantasy elements added to it. You being illiterate doesn't change this.
Les miserables is high fantasy
>>582028296But I am expanding everywhere. I think I was on turn 100.. me and my 3 dragon siblings hold all of cathay, ind, khuresh, nipon.. we are nearly done with the chaos wastes above the bastion.. fkn 60 settlements in there.. I expanded all the way through ind to the southern wastes.. and I hold half of the chord territory. I expand with 2 methods. YinYin runs solo straight through the middle into the enemy, attracts all the nasties and girlhandles em. Behind her a wide spread sweep of 2-6 armies, depending on how wide the territory is, that sweeps up all the cities.
>>582028556>IT HAS TO TAKE PLACE ON EARTHThis is like saying "science fiction MUST take place in space".A writer can set their low fantasy story wherever they like. It's a genre, not a location.
>>582028663>It's a genreYeah, the genre about fantasy stories taking place on Earth. By definition low fantasy takes place on Earth.
"KATARIN, OF KISLEV!"
>>582027583Yes, but it won't be winning you endgame auto-resolves or helping you out too much, they're just hob goblins at the end of the day. No Hob in the universe can compete with 60 lads, some Hashut-blessed beer, and a shotgun.
>>582028810NtaGemini say you stupid.
>>582028939>FATARIN*
>>582028939Fuck off tok
>>582027668Goblin shitstacks aren't there to win, they're there so that your enemy stacks waste ammo and spells on literal trash units or so that your chorfs get free flanks. Hobgoblins are a different thing entirely, they're acceptably good enough against most armies with the hero
>>582029016It also admits it's mistake. The term has degenerated due to retards using it without knowing what it means, and as AI just rehashes whatever it finds online it repeats the same misinfo.
>>582028810That's not true at all. "Low fantasy" refers to the realistic nature of the setting, not its exact location. The setting is 'realistic'.Like if I were to write a story about medieval knights on Mars, purely because I liked the idea of using a "habitable Mars with oceans" map for my fictional kingdoms, and had almost no fantasy elements; that's low fantasy. If I did the same on Alpha Centauri, or inside a generation ship, or a dyson sphere, or a completely made up planet - it's all low fantasy because off the elements of the story and its relationship with the supernatural."It has to be on Earth" is a ridiculous and irrelevant. It'd make all of Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology "low fantasy". It'd make "low fantasy", "high fantasy", and "heroic fantasy" meaningless genre distinctions - basically just "set on Earth" vs "not set on Earth". Which isn't a genre at all, but as I said, a location.
>>582029220>I know more than multiple internet sourcesHow about YOU find a source that backs YOUR claim.
>>582029220Gemini says you are just being anal about it. >>582029126I can empty that by walking my lord in circles.

>Gemini says
>>582029582What do you expect from someone that thinks low fantasy can take place somewhere else than the real world.
>>58202958226 has to be my fav year..Dunking on anons with a robot is the hypest shit ever.
Game of Thrones is a low fantasy setting where the apocalypse scenario is things turning into a more high fantasy direction. Lord of the Rings is a sort of middle fantasy. Most of the land is occupied by regular humans who don't encounter magic at all, but there are demi-gods and blatantly supernatural creatures like ghosts and trolls around if you know where to look. Narnia is a high fantasy setting. The god of abraham wanders the land as a talking lion. The average character is a supernatural creature of some kind. Santa shows up.
>>582029558they literally dont, theyre literally from a place called the great GRASS sea
>>582029645Marketing a dark, grounded story like Game of Thrones as "high fantasy" sets the wrong expectations for readers expecting high-magic heroism. As a result, modern publishing, media outlets, and fan communities broadly redefined low fantasy to describe the tone and prevalence of magic, rather than the geographic setting.Anon is holding onto a prescriptivist literary definition, while modern usage has moved toward a descriptive, magic-level standard. Neither definition is invalid, but claiming it must take place on Earth ignores how the books are actually categorized and sold today.
>>582030752How does one write the way they speak? They don't say "cursed" they say "curse-ed" thots.
>>582030302Lotr really varies on what fantasy it is.The difference between First and Third Age is quite big.
>>582030302Total War?
>>582030985Cursed
I wish total war would stick for me but it's one of those games where I just can't get into it, maybe Il finally give it one more proper try when thanquol releases but idk
>>582031546what other grand strategy do u play?
>>582031546Tbf, it's a pretty daunting game to get into at this stage of lifeIs there any specific aspect of the game that makes it harder for you to get into?Starting with 40k might be a way to go if you're into 40k, everyone (mostly everyone) starting anew and from scratch as people discover shit will be fun
will we get other endgame scenarios with future dlcs or is that it
>>582031742None I'm just a Warhammer fan, and I figured I'm autistic enough to play a total war game, but it's a different brand of tism I guessAll the YouTube videos just make the game look way better Maybe il see if my buddy will carry me with nagash and il can have fun in coop at least>>582031774Like I get the overworked stuff but the combat just doesn't do it for me, I feel like I do fucking nothing, like sending in my formations and watching them run for 20 minutes while health bars very slowly wittle down without much feedback doesn't feel good, watching my hero solo a pack is cool to watch but It just doesn't feel good to play for me
>>582031546Skaven is an EVP faction; it's not supposed to be fun to play
>>582032303I played a few hours as vlad vlad in tw2 since I didn't wanna buy ikkit claw yet and I tried kislev
>>582032131Grand Strategy always takes extreme autism.. Total War is just really pretty. It is the same shit as Stellaris but when you look at stellaris you are instantly thrown off by all the ugly menus. Total War just hides that stuff behind epic images.If you play coop, don't play IE or Realms of Chaos. Play Rotten in Kislev. It's a super short coop exclusive campaign. Takes maybe 4-5hrs. It has like.. instant build, instant recruit and you are on a super short I think 20turn timer to take kislev and destroy the chaos invasion. It's the BEST campaign.
Man, now I really wanna play Stellaris. I love UI bloat simulator.
>>582017204Vortex campaing ported into TWW3 soon, trust the leak.
>>582032131>Like I get the overworked stuff but the combat just doesn't do it for me,The proper way to play TWW is to auto resolve most battles.
>>582033195I really want to get into a X4 game, was looking at either X4 Foundations or Stellaris...But the autism might be even to much for me...Gonna wait for 40k for my spaceautism...
>>582031982ca will continue to release content until the money runs out so it's not impossible, though I'd say it's improbable
>>582033210I do not want to play TWW3!
>>582033195It pretends to, but it has nowhere close to the faction variation of even Rome 1 or Medieval 2 Total war, let alone Warhammer.
Ah, I remember now. I was playing mega corp ring world origin again and was emperor.. I think I started a world war while sitting back, watching my subjects kill for me.I fucking LOVE trade value.. makes me diamonds..>>582033473You already play total war. There is no difference I know of between 4X and Grand Strategy.. shit's the same.. If you wanna, I'd say play Stellaris.mm...Stellaris is WAAAAAY easier than total war tho. Like, this shit lets you sit in a corner doing nothing ever and become the emperor to rule over the entire galaxy.>>582033748Stellaris? Well duh.. the only real faction differences are the ascension paths you choose.
No, not emperor.. custodian.. I didn't wanna go Emperor route cause it would destroy my federation and with that ruin my trade value
ANOOONNSSRemind me to boot up kinohammer 3 later and save all my max level heroes in my current YinYin campaign before it's gonna be broken by tomorrow.
>>582034716>laternigga you have 7 hours to do it...
Nvm, you guys are unreliable, boy molesting, prancing, la-la homo men.I'm doing it now.>>582035065only 7hours? Interesting. So it's today..
>>582030985reminds me of this classic
>>582035291They are both wrong. It's "S-word" and yours is smol, hehe
>>582035065
>>582035065Anon.. this >>582035462 says you are a turbo faggot.
I heard the last DLC is gonna come out soon, so I gave the game a chance again.It's gotten worse fellas.I've tried this new Elspeth chick, the nurgle doctor guy and Belegar.In all 3 campaigns my stack was basically undefeatable by turn 20. How do you guys even enjoy this? Genuine question, I'm not saying I'm super good at the game or anything. Shogun 2 Legendary still kicks my ass, but I feel like Warhammer 3 is made for actual retards.It's not even about how easy it is really, rather it's about the fact that when you get an unbeatable stack, what's the point of continuing?I really liked Warhammer 1 and 2, and want to like 3, but I can't and it makes me really damn sad.
>>582035462Ummmmmmm>>582035518Gave you motivation to do it now...
>>582035546Hey good shit, now kick rocks pendejo.For Grand Cathay.>>582035578And a space elf fucker ontop? I'm about to call the witch hunter.
>yesterday was Rome birthday
>>582035546CA kept listening to redditors that wanted broken shit and "quality of life"No one knows the difference between quality of life and just making the game easier
>>582035546There's nothing better than cracking open a cold one after a long day of work and sitting back and relaxing to paint the map for about half an hour before spending the rest of the day with my wife and kids.
>>582035578I look almost exactly like this irl
>>582036181Quality of Life stuff is great though. The overbuffing of everything isn't, I think even redditors should know the difference.Even though I've played 3 very different lords (I think), the result was the same - I got an unkillable blob which made stats like morale and replenishment irrelevant, because everyone is unbreakable and heals in 1 turn."Faction variety" my ass.I feel like even Shogun 2 are more diverse than whatever this is.
>>582035546If you want to sometimes get absolutely get run over sometimes try out any of the Tomb Kings, especially Settra and Kalida (both are getting harder with the new patch BTW)
>>582035686Will your 40k schtick be Lilithposting..?>>582036597Nice.... MADE FOR IMPERIAL MEN
fuck i need to play toddy NOW
>>582036546I get that.But you could do the same in Warhammer 1 or 2 though. And those were actually good games.I don't like the word "slop", but that's all that comes to mind whenever I boot WH3 now.
>>582036927There's no Kislev or Ogres in 1 or 2.
>Me enjoying my 88888th Skarbrand campaign while 40k players watch from their consoles>>582036860I dunno any lilith. I post cultist chan a lot, she's a 40k thing.. mostly.Mmm..The only characters I like are "The Force Commander", Avitus and Tarkus... I guess Heinrix too..I like the nids but they aren't in 40k and they don't have named characters besides like a couple hive tyrands who have titles.
>>582036664Wow! Three whole lords! That definitely qualifies you to make proclamations about the state of the game. In seriousness, if you don't find variety in keeping the empire together as Elspeth, Running for the 8 peaks as belegar, and managing your warband upgrades as Festus, you might be brain damaged.
>>582036671It's not about difficulty, it's about gameplay though.I bet as TK I'll still get the unkillable blob stack by turn 20 which will make 90% of mechanics irrelevant.If, for example, AI will be able to shit out 10 stacks of their own (out of thin air as is tradition) and eventually whittle down my blob stack is not going to make the game more fun.
The tyranny of warhammer must end.
>>582035918We were too busy celebrating Dark Souls 1's birthday
I'm banned on /v/ so I'll guess I'll be here for the dlcWhy the fuck did they pick glottkin
>>582037349Please look forward to the next decade of Total War: Warhammer 40,000's primacy.
>>582036965There's Kislev though? As Empire minor faction
>>582037539Because he was one of the TT End Times lords.
>>582037210I've played the game on launch and after Chaos Dwarfs too.It's the same shit, but worse.>running to 8 peaks as BelegarDo you even remember how awesome this campaign was back in WH1 or even 2?Like, it was probably more intense than even Skarsnik's one.Now I got to confederate some minor dwarf clan by like turn 4, and... that was it. I was all set to just sit a little, tech up and go straight for 8 peaks. In 20 turns.If you don't see how drastically different the game became, then I'm not the brain damaged one here, friend.I'm not even talking about Elspeth or Nurgle guy. They probably came out utterly broken and soulless, so at least we didn't lose anything awesome we had before.
>>582037286I'm going to go ahead and diagnose you with depression. You can pick up anti-depressants from your local pharmacy if you are quick enough.
>>582037780God forbid someone actually tries to discuss the game's problems.He's probably depressed or crazy!I know you like the game, and if it hurts you that someone says bad stuff about it, just don't engage with the conversation.It's not a personal attack, relax.
Playing TK? Yeah you're depressed alright...
>>582035546>How do you guys even enjoy this? I don't all that much really. The game stopped having any sense of challenge or strategy after TWW2, maybe even right after Warden and the Paunch. TWW3 has too much shit in it with too small a map so they compromised and turned every campaign into easy win power fantasies because those don't require balancing and it makes retards pog out.
anyone see GBOG YouTube video on the End Times scenarios?
Not playing TK before they add the 2nd generic Lord.
>>582038154So you'll be playing them tomorrow?
>>582038232Maybe right after Neferata.
>>582038069>maybe even right after Warden and the PaunchI'd say it was Skryre DLC.It was an experiment at first, but people enjoyed it so fucking much that CA's decided "yeah, that's how the game will be from now on"Utter tragedy. Still, it's funny how "vanilla" Skryre in WH2 is actually not at all bad compared to what we have in 3.And about the balancing part - they balance units and lords fine, in terms of their default values (because mutliplayer)Problem is, they just slap whatever big numbers they feel like for campaign mechanics, so any sense of progression or struggle is gone by the time your LL reaches lvl ~15 give or take.
Not playing TK before they add the 5th Legendary Lord.
>>582038778anon ur niggash?
tk? more like BAD
>>582035546>>582038069Total Rebirth mod for TWWH2 might be what we all should be looking for. turns warhammer into a mix of Medieval 2 (campaign) and FoTS (battle)It's not finished yet tho
You play Cathay? Damn you must be happy and successful at life...
>>582038525It's more than just the OP shit, it's the general flow of the game caused by a fuckton of little problems, mainly caused by people that didn't want to be inconvenienced and just wanted to map paint>The AI could never stop you once you hit T4/T5 and start rolling out your elite stuff>CA cranks up the AI cheats in an attempt to make it harder which just encourages more cheese>Players can't handle the massive shitstacks and CA has to lobotomize the AI (Vamptide, anyone?)>Shit, just look at how autoresolve changed between the games. Now it just deletes the entire army and tries to equalize your losses because babies complained that it occasionally killed one of your units>Almost no tech requirements for units any more. You used to need armories and other stuff to recruit certain units. Now almost every faction can just spam every recruitment/economy building in each province and min-max with zero effortThere's a lot more I could rant about and that's not even including the general powercreep with units/campaign buffs, and you can't really undo most of this without utterly breaking the game (for shitters, at least)Ikit's nukes and bullshit guns started a lot of problems but it helped reveal that the average player doesn't actually want to be challenged
>>582038154Three Kingdoms?
>starts in one of the handful 12-slot settlements on the map>starts with a free LH/LL with one of the consistently most powerful lores in the game>vanguard deployment & siege attacker to ignore one of the race's biggest drawbacks of being target practice while crossing the battlefield>is the reason why healing caps were invented, but also gets a raised healing cap>is the reason why the wound system was invented, but also gets to ignore it>gets ranged Empire infantry that also regenerates like Wolverine for some reasonHe's kinda spoiled, really. I mean sure being a good scrapper is a staple for VC as a whole, that's what happens when they can insta raise armies anywhere damn near for free, but a lot of what he does isn't so much playing to the strengths of the race as it's just canceling out the downsides, and it's handed to him up front without asking anything of the player, not even that they throw some resources at upgrades or anything.
>>58198369040k will fix this
>>582040779thats because vampires were kinda of directionless, both ingame and on the table top
>>582040779>is the reason why healing caps were invented,I remember that.. back in wh1, me and mate played coop, empire dawi.. my mate ran into Vlad with his empire army. The army disintegrated, Vlad kept fighting. He trashed several infantry units before we realized that guy is not going down, he's healing forever.He then had to pull all units out besides one sacrifice units and wait till it died so all the surrounding guns and artillery could blast him down.
>>581987372Endless Legend 2
>>582041669Oh shit it's out? I completely forgot that was a thing.
>>5820417481.0 released like 6 days ago, heard it was pretty barebones tho
>>582041669I am still owed an Ardent Mage gf.
>>582017204chaos robbie had a mod for them in tww2 already iirc
>>582025661>>5820248163k reskin as ASOIAF would work great
Shut up. We don't car.
>>582041773>EA title>still barebones at 1.0damn
Given I can't get the DLC, which cuckold faction should I play to commemorate it?VCoast with an unfaithful vampfu who fucks her kills?DElves with my first supreme sorceress as a size queen who cages my LL?Lizardmen where my first skink lord is a Femskink (male) who gets easily overwhelmed by the scent of male musk?
>>582042459>I can't get the DLCcreamapi
>>582042459CREAMAPI MA NIGGAno you wont get banned
>>582040779Vampire sieges in lore are>Endless Zombies as a staircase to walk overOr>Ghosts don't give a fuck about wallsOr>Vampires just ripping through people while running at cavalry speedsAll three of which VCunts can't do, Siege Attacker isn't the worst idea to cope for it, but really sieges needed a lot of work to fit the fantasy setting to begin with.Vanguard Deployment I think is coping for the fact that Vampires in TWarhammer are far slower than their tabletop counterpart.Though really if we wanted the tabletop feel, endless regeneration and endless summoning fodder is all Vamps had going for them, but players didn't know how to handle either of those (even though in current TWW both have their solutions), so they got nerfed into the ground
>>582041669I'm so disappointed in vidya..>look up what that game is>see CiV hexagonsno thanks..That's worse than when anons were all telling me to play pathfinder.. I looked it up.. DnD combat.. into the trash it goes.
>>582042679We've all seen your taste in anime, your opinions aren't valid.
>>5820426165 or 6 vampires that are at least level 10 or so absolutely destroy almost any garrison in the game.
>>582042770FACTS
every time passfaggot says something it gets even worse
>>582042817This is true, which I suppose allows vampires to hero spam their way to victory, but is that the playstyle anyone wants? A bloodbowl team of vampires just blitzing the siege?
>>582042679WHATS WRONG WITH DICEROLLS?
I'm not saying an anon can't both like Konosuba and make good posts, I'm just saying that there's never been a good post made by an anon who likes Konosuba.
Anons who enjoys pic rel are cool in my book
