all downhill from here
Be a good person.
>>582238850I'm basically just farming Kadrin stacks up in the mountain whilst scheming around the world. This is kind of a fun turtle playstyle.
How do you confederate the other VCs when they all have to be weak and have less than x regions? They are expanding with ease
Anyone else notice that Nagash is really underpowered compared to the Vampire Counts? His unit roster and mechanics seem weak.
why the hell does nagash have wood elf outposts instead of real settlements
actually this is a good dlcIn honor of the thanquuol poster I'm gonna play Malekith because I like Malekith the best, the thanquol poster would've wanted me to play my favorite and I fucking hate ratsLet's go
>>582239184Many are saying this.
>>582238850kinda funny that the thanquol picture he used looks nothing like the model of the one they added to the game
The WoC warband upgrade sounds like a great idea in theory until you realize marauders suck dick at killing and therefore never get xp manually, forcing you to AR every fight in order to get Chosen at any reasonable rate
Boris here. Hochland lives. i plan to make a Teutonic Order from Marienburg to Erengrad. Plan was, Erengrad first. but i have to travel southwest for incoming Khazrak Beastmen.
So do these cover the whole Province, or just the town/region it's built in?
this doesn't trigger when you capture all of middenlandit triggers when you take any two settlements, which is coincidentally the number of settlements in middenland you have to capture
>>582239469It doesn't matter because you shouldn't be building them.>but what if a Skaven has an undercity?Wipe out the offending Skaven faction.
>>582239469What does the text say?
>>582239449forgot the Hochland lives Image. will they give me free Hochland-Longshotmen now?
Y U NO RIKE CATHAY?HEY WAIT MINUTEY AM I A SKELETON?THIS IS DEEPRY OFFENSHIVE TO CATHAYAN CULTURE!
111 mods.Now getting error messages.Truly a shoah of my mods. Some of these haven't been updated in literal years.
>>582239469The text tells you anon, also they are useless don't build them.
Skaven undercities would be more useful if they applied to all Skaven factions, and rather than being parasitic pseudo-settlements, they're more like investment holdings and you can independently improve your stake in them.Same with Skavenblight. It's a shared city, one big "this is our get along shirt".
I had forgotten how much it sucks when Double skill point's isn't working, with how quickly campaigns tend to end these day's one point per level up is just way to slow. I wish every second level up just rewarded two points instead of one without mods, feels like that would be the best pace
>>582239903No one maintains the table top caps mod anymore so I have make manual edits if I want to avoid being doomstacked by 19 cursed ettins.
close victorty, don't know what I'm doing, prob should've played settra and the bald von carstein befo
are there no orcfags left...
>>582240301Publish your own mod, anon.Be the hero the community needs.
Nice rework.
>>582238850So is ikit still the best way to play range skaven? I bought thanquol for endgame stormvermin and the "skryre" verminlord.apart from his plans (they look fun), he only offers easier access to said verminlord.Is there anything that I'm missing?
>>582240301that mod sucks compared to (New unit caps for all) It just works so much better, and feels way more organic. Personally I feel like the AI fields way better armies using it.Table-top caps translates terribly into a videogame
>Started a Tod campaign>Nearly falling asleep at turn 15.
I don't like that you have to have the nine canonical Mortarchs. I'd rather you be allowed to make any undead faction LL a Mortarch. Let you play "Nagash's rise to godhood" your way.
>>582240301Sadly I can't do that anymore since I never figured out how to get RPFM to run on Fedora.I know it can be done, it's even got a Linux version in github, but I wasn't able to get at it.
>>582240523I've been playing him for a few hours and haven't seen anything that buffs them more than Ikit does
>>582240523Thanquol has a landmark that hugely buffs both the old and new kinds of warp lighting cannons. Ikit's weapons teams buffs are still stronger.
>>582240905Agreed. Why would I recruit Vlad when Isabella is right there? It's counterintuitive and anti-fun.
10 more Rounds for Teutonische Ritter
>>582241216The worst part is one of the canon Mortarch is literally MYSTERY NIGGA.
The Chaos Invasion begins on turn 24. I think it's over for us Ulric boys.
>>582240512this is his intended gameplay. nothing to change
>>582240512Is the wight king actually necessary or does he not have any good hero actionst. not played vamps since 1
>>582240905This would be cool. I'm going to miss the mod so much. Though I had a wild idea for it>keep the mod as just bone daddy Nagash and not big tall Nagash.>have bone daddy take out tall Nagash as a new win condition
I'm just playing malekith :)don't worry the end times will not happen, I swear on my father's bloodWho do I stop first?
The Lore of Stealth got buffed, right?Is it actually usable now?
>>582240992>>582241110Going back to ikit then, he buffs so many units in fun and viable ways that it feels wrong not to play with him.
>>582241569Wight king buffs melee infantry MA/MD so you want one in any army with lots of those.
Where do you expand playing as Neferata? Should I just go for Lahmia? Or do I suffer in the mountains
Here's a reminder to try a DLAA/DLSS upscaler mod to get better image quality. Very easy to install and even easier to uninstall in case you don't like it for some reasonhttps://www.nexusmods.com/totalwarwarhammer3/mods/393?tab=poststhe mod just got an update! lots of fixes and some new features
I'm gonna salve the world witn Malekith !Please name eteriniyt king after I kill Thanquol, Settrra, The other clown and tie thr twot clowns, and Archaon too.
>>582241759Ah okay, cool.
>>582240392
>>582241669Nope that was pushed back to 9.1.
>>582240512You're playing the OP zombie spam LL. What do you expect?
>>582240392>Losing your cannon and tomb heraldMight as well restart
>>582241775Any fps lose?
I'm loving the Lahmian vampire hero and unit voice lines, they're sexy as fuck.
>playing as Nagash>want my staff back>Arkhan the black won't give it back to mewtf CA
Whos the most fun new lord so far?
>>582242061I wonder how lewd the LIG mod is gonna be.
>>582240223The double skill points mod was updated 20 minutes after the DLC released.
>>582242126I have only played Nef so far.She is fun.Hope this helps.
>>582242072Azhag also isn't giving you back your hat.
With thanquol I was using a siege plan to capture a fort. The enemy tried to attack me out of the walls and lost; the planner disappeared but the fort was left in a permanent state of siege so that I couldnt attack it with thanquol after and so my game got bricked. The fact that they didnt test such an obvious case is crazy
>>582242072Might want to get in a room with Azhag whilst your at it.
>>582241767I went after Astragoth immediately after the first province, was pretty hard because he had three stacks at that point thanks to AI cheats so I assassinated Astragoth with Neffy's vampire jutsu before the fight, that made it doable.I assume he's going to attack you if you try to expand south because he likes Arbaal and the Norscans more and won't expand to Conclave lands.
>>582242053check the upper right corner of the .gif in my original post, I go from 82 to 77 fps with DLAA (preset K) at 1080p with 4060. If you play at 1440p or 4k you can try dlss quality, you should get better fps with much better looking image
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE UPDATEAAAAAI CANT PLAY WITHOUT A COOL UII NEED MY WC3 FEEL!!!!
>>582240598I never really liked that one since I figured once you get going you could just throw all your elites into one army and still stomp all the crapstacks like normal. Also I figured it wouldnt work with modded unitsMight as well give it a try at some point
The new skaven units have really fun voices :)
i downloaded the patch and didnt even have to update any of the smokeapi files lul i just have everything unlocked. very cool
>>582242602I had to upadte the blood files because none of the models showed up in battle with their textures
which ll is the best ll of this update? like in terms of power
wow these beastmeme attacks on boris' campaign are just as gay and annoying as they are on every other faction that has this "feature"
Just a heads up: Teutogen Guard are really damn good at holding the line. Don't listen to the Sigmarite naysayers.
I haven't played in a couple years. Is Tabletop Unit Caps dead? Is there a more active version now?
CA what the fuck is the rationale here?>Almost the same health, meaning hugely more health per model since 32 vs 60>same armor>better leadership>same speed>better melee attack>better melee defense than BK lances but worse than BK>better overall weapon strength>worse charge bonus than BK lances but better than BKThere's a strong argument to be made here that Drakenhof Templars are essentially better than Blood Knights despite being cheaper and a lower tier. This actually pisses me off quite a bit. Man fuck this unit.
>>582242919RA ROO
I don't find nagash that fun gotta say
>>582242385Astragoth always expands into his Norscan neighbours for me before starting shit with Kislev. Then he usually gets raped by Arbaal.
>playing Toddy's campaign>Beastmeme fullstack summons 20 minotaurs while I'm away from the capital + their gay goat has 1k weapon damage at level 1What the fuck?
>>582242431ty
>>582243057There's an offshoot that lets you just set the caps however you want but it's kinda inconsistent and resets itself fairly often
>>582243057SFO :)
One thing i noticed about Nagash is how mausoleum graveyyard spam is stronger than the tomb king option. but in comparison necropolises feel kinda pointless.
>>582243061Blud knights have frenzy and twice the models with the same weapon strength. They do way more damage.
will we crack 100k this weekend?
>>582238850I hope this faggot never shows up here ever again
>>582243061DT don't have Frenzy and a lower unit count despite being standard rather than monstrous cav.
>>582243061>same damage>almost double modelshow is that bad
>>582242740None of them are particularly good.
>>582243332Man, those numbers are pretty sad when you think about it.
>enemy armies still just force marching around my provinces 1 step ahead of me and won't fight my stack>at war with multiple factions doing this>only 1 army and I don't have whatever fucking hero can block movement because early gameYeah I'm thinking total """war'"" still stinks.
>>582243057Unit caps for all. Look that one up instead
>>582243332>not even 100k on release dayNONONONONONNHAHAHAHAHAHANO NO NO NOIS THIS YOUR BIGGEST DLC EVER THAT WOULD KEEP WH3 ALIVE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS?HAHAHAHAHA
>>582243348The rats will make you love them. One way or another.
The enemy failed to spot your ambush. Attack now, and the element of surprise will give you the upper hand!
>Nefy doesn't get her big cat mount when aloneI assume the dread abyssals are Nagash only?
>>582243332game will only crack 100k when dogs of war drop
>>582242919>>582243180can you even turn this shit off?
whats the appid for the glottkin dlc? I'm not seeing it on steamdb
>>582242919They decided what empire players wanted more of was wulfhart. Genius move.
>>582243671Yes, thankfully.
>>582243738lollmao
>>582243332I kneel
>>582242919It's because Beastmen themselves don't function as a good faction and thus all interaction with them is forced whack a mole garbage.
>>582243835>thankfullyGay. I like the dread abyssals.But I suppose it makes sense.
Nagash vs Grimgor IronhideNagash cost: 2000Grimgor cost: 1350No spells or abilities were equipped
>>582243061BK lances are more specialized anti-large but have better DPS at that role (Frenzy and much bigger anti-large bonus). BK swords easily beat drakenhof templars in the anti-infantry role because they have faster attack speed and an actual anti-infantry bonus.
>>582243264>>582243558I guess I'll try Unit Caps for All but fuck man I'm pissed. I was playing with the Tabletop Caps mod since TWW2. Why the fuck did that nigger have to abandon it.
>>582243332CS is forever
>>582243332tf2 and dota2 have crazy longevity for games with 0 cultural impact nowadays. I don't even know if we still have generals for those anymore
>>582241669No, Stealth and Nehekhara lores rework postponed.>>582241947Not confirmed for 9.1, can be before.
do nagash and azhag have a unique interaction anywhere?
>>582242919>Play as the guy whose entire deal is fighting beastmemes who fight in gorilla warfare>Get upset you have to deal with beastmemes who fight in gorilla warfareThis is like picking an LL whose entire lore is fighting nurgle and being mad you have to deal with plagues.
>>582244006actually this guy had it more correct i think
why does neferata wear a giant cup on her head
Playing as vampire counts, how soon should I start running multiple stacks? Is it required? Or can I get away with fewer but more elite armies? As an example, should I just have some random lord accompany my main stack with 20 zombies or something similar as soon as I can afford it?
>>582244212You're either devastatingly retarded or merely pretending to not see the issue with the mechanic and neither is a good look for you.
>>582244195No. CA said that they don't have it in lore so they didn't bother.
>>582243534Bro, your block army hero abilities? Your ambush stance?
I, to my dismay, discovered that I cannot heal my Ushabti with spells. I spent all of my savings to recruit them, and now I can't use them the way I intended.
>>582244423Beastmeme attacks are actually based and if you don't like it you can just play Karl Franz.
>>582244412>should I just have some random lord accompany my main stack with 20 zombies or something similar as soon as I can afford it?yes that is what u usually do its hard to win a lot of early fights with just 1 vamp stack the units kinda suck
>>582243738Toddy is the mandatory hard mode so you basically have to play defense all day until you get a nice enough army to go all the way. imo my main complaint is that for Todd clearly intended to be a melee beast and good at 1v1s, he literally can't fight any of the beastman lords in the mini armies that spawn. Also, I'm not sure why, but he does nothing on the pegasus mount.
>>582244131I think you will like it once you get used to it. I feel like it plays very well, and it's actually not so bad having to develop military infrastructure in more regions. It makes it feel really good when you can have one elite stack, if that's what you like, otherwise you can always spread the units out. The AI also does well with it, and their armies feel more balanced. Pictured is an example of a dwarf army using this mod
>>582242919>>582244212>>582244423Imo the mechanic itself isn't bad, but because the player is forced to reconquista Empire lands against Ogres, Festus, Azhag, Vlad, etc. You don't really have the freedom or budget to keep an army in reserve and just go around pre-emptively fighting beastman armies.
>>582244542And autoresolve means you lose even fights you would stomp in manually.
>>582244212This is like saying "Kislev is all about fighting Chaos, therefore you should have infinite Chaos invasions the entire game with no way to stop them". It's a completely inorganic concept in a Total War game.
>>582244473Try reading my post. And having to cheese ambush with a 2nd single lord army every single time in every single campaign because it's the only way to get the AI to fight you just reminds me how poorly designed this game is.
>>582243534its practically mandatory to run a naked cheap lord alongside your main army, pump ambush success chance on your main lord, and bait the enemy into attack your Force Marched level 1 lord while your main army hides in front of them. The AI in this game is too pussy to commit to any fight where they don't absolutely dominate the autoresolve
>>582244645because he shouldn't have one, and also not a griffin, for that matter
>>582243534>>582244473I could have sworn it wasn't like this in warhammer 2, something about force march in this game and the way the AI uses it is meant to frustrate the player more than help
How do you even beat ungrim, the duce is fucked up as hell
>>582244483Even nagash kneels before the power of the construct repairmen
>>582244946CA already did that for cathay, they probably would do it for kislev if they could get away with it
>>582245487>CA did that for CathayAnd it was a horrible idea.
Have any of you guys found any of the newly recorded voice lines? I was checking on Arkhan and as far as I can tell no new audio is coming out of him. is it exclusively for when Nagash confeds him?
>>582245242Honestly he was more effective on horseback or on the ground, I don't really understand. As soon as I get him flying he turns into a jobber but this doesn't happen to Imrik or other lords with flying mounts.
>>582244946I got rid of the invasions around turn 50, I didn't even really try to progress the scenario. I made an early stack consisting of around 12 units that would zoom around and defeat their armies early while farming xp
>the new regiments of renown restrictionsFinally CA decided to do something about it. Everyone was using RoRs as throwaway emergency units. It's not like they won't be used as such now, but it'll be at least more difficult.Anyway, what I don't get is why the fuck does the whole system still exists.Why don't they tie Regiments of Renown to some fun events/landmarks/cities/lords? So you can get them organically. Like elector count troops or something.I hated how RoRs work since game 1, and in game 3 it's very clear that their recruitment mechanics are outdated as fuck.
>just noticed I'm auto at war with KhalidaLmao
>>582245749I'm okay with it, if garrisons didn't suck ass
>>582244483That's what you get for not paying the necrotect tax.
RoR, Ogre mercenaries, and Dogs of War should all be implemented under the same overall mercenary system.
>>582245064If the AI is threatened by you (at war) but it thinks it can't defeat you in battle, is it not a valid strategy to stay close enough to harass you but far away enough to not be attacked by you?
>>582244412Kinda depends on which lord you're playing, like Vlad and Bella can get away with a lot more bullshit than for example Kemmler, on account of both being pretty fucking strong Vamp lords+vamp hero+empire early game units all being dogshit.
>>582244883I'll give it a shot since from browsing the workshop there doesn't seem to be many good alternatives but I really liked how Tabletop Caps forced armies to be made mostly of weaker units.
>>582245883i was just thinkincool dlc and allnow we wait for dogs of war
Does Nagash not show up in the campaign if you aren't playing him?
>>582245808I miss when Queek, Skarsnik, and Belegar all started at war with each other
>>582246000It feels really weird to make an NAP with Queek as Skarsnik.
>>582245985He's a mainstay on the map now. He always starts in the Black Pyramid.
>>582238850>2230 time's he ritual posted the image>879 times of "Thanquol later, friends!">1239 times of "Thanquol soon, friends!"Okay fag, sure
>>582245985He does but he'll most likely get eliminated by Skarbrand before you'll ever see him if not playing as anyone that starts close to the black pyramid
>>582245973At this point we have two options, which are in actuality only one.Option 1 is "Southern Realms as Dogs of War", which would require "Southern Realms" to be a profitable DLC for CA. They've already made the calculation that it isn't, and this explains the early DoW code previously found years ago that has never been built upon.Option 2 is "Dogs of War as mercenaries for everyone", which would be far more profitable because now it isn't tied to any particular faction and is just "is a mercenary pack profitable or not?"
>>582243620
>Thanquol clearly got the most effort this setRatfags are the one being in existence that keep on winning
>>582246207Is this your new ritual post?
uh-oh....
Working on finishing off my last achievement for S2 (other than the unobtainable MP Ladder one). It's tedious because the campaign is bugged out and I can't use WASD to move the camera on the campaign map. The achievement is just to finish a FotS campaign as an independent republic. I started as Tosa, then moved to immediately invade and declare war on my starting natural ally, Satsuma. We converted to Shogunate allegiance, and used a Geisha to steal Saigō Takamori from Satsuma. We then adopted Takamori into our household, made him our heir, and then our Daimyo fell off his horse and Saigō Takamori became our new Daimyo. Now some of you are probably thinking>that's still super easy, Tosa Riflemen are one of the most broken units in the gameBut in keeping with our Last Samurai theme, we are using almost exclusively gold armor and/or charge Kachi (Samurai) units.
>>582245832Garrisons are ass because the nuTW is ass.Auto garrisons weren't needed when troops weren't tied to generals.Still no idea why this is the case btw. And don't tell me about some mystical unfixable bugs that FORCED CA to get rid of free unit movement. It's all bullshit.
Who would make most sense to fight now that I have consolidated my starting region? One anon mentioned Astragoth. I also guess that I should work my way towards Lahmia? But if that chorf is going to eventually attack me from behind I guess getting rid of him first makes sense
RIP Greater Garrisons forgot how many mods you need to make this game playable
>>582246230It's a faction made up mostly of existing units. It'll end up a single lord pack like Bhashiva and people will clap.
Nagash's first battle should have been against the sentinels that camped on his pyramid for the past 7 years
>>582246230if you're already doing dogs of war it would be lunacy to not integrate em into southern realms
>VC get tech that dumps 3000 corpses in every enemy province the moment they declare war on youYou're practically being given free money for being a dick to people.
>>582246521I'm not saying that Dogs of War units shouldn't be given to existing Southern Realms and Border Princes factions, but rather "Southern Realms as DoW" is by itself not going to make CA any money. Even in the original lore, they were always an NPC area. Hell, the Border Princes were explicitly designed as a "your dudes" area where anyone could make their own petty fiefdom.
>>582246189>>582246220See I'm playing as Settra and turn 1 he's not standing atop the Black Pyramid, so I was wondering. I could actually besiege that by Turn 2 and just take it.
>karl franz campaign>archaon campaignsimple as. i don't need anything else.MAYBE an arbaal campaign at some point down the line. thanks.
>>582246712according to what would this "not make them any more money" I can GUARANTEE that more people are interested in southern realms as a potential faction than glotkin, I'd bet everything on that
>>582246445Astragoth will have to go.
Do you want more Warhammer DLC?
>>582246207and yet he is remembered for in the game and you are nothe won
Looks pretty neat. but i dont know if i Like, what Franz just did there. (taking the Black Pit) Ok i could just gift him the Strandräuberkap for ally and focus on Erengrad (Riga) and my Plan
>>582245973Cataph made awesome Southern Realms mod already.My only problem with that mod is the lack of new voice acting.Which makes me think... Modders figured out how to add new voicelines couple of years ago iirc? Did Cataph's mods now have proper voice acting?Shouldn't be difficult to do, especially with AI.Result would be twice as good as anything CA is able to shit out these days.
Thanquolanon was a hero and in this house we celebrate his legacy.
>>582246372What does this mean? Is it pre-end time event or does it mean you beat him and he's done but lolnotreally>>582246516That's who he beat up in his intro cinematic
CASKETS OF SOULS ARE DOGSHIT
>>582246891Thanks. Once he is gone I guess I'll work my way trough the mountains getting rid of whatever is in my way towards Lahmia from there
Test
>>582246445Astragoth. If you go south he'll either declare war on you or extort you for payment. And taking him out gives you another chokepoint fortress. By the time he's dead you might have enough diplo bonuses from techs to befriend whoever you want on your eastern flank to let you push south towards lahmia
>>582246912
>>582246949does that mod have pikes with working formationcause formations ain't exactly WH TW's strong point
>>582246846>I can GUARANTEE that more people are interested in southern realms as a potential faction than glotkin, I'd bet everything on thatI actually agree with you on this. A lot of these recent DLC LL's have been generic literally who characters, especially on the Chaos Warrior's side. That roster is bloated as fuck with non-entities.But characters like Glotkin are a different problem, a GW problem. They want to push a "THE END TIMES WERE A TOTALLY BELOVED ENDING TO THE FRANCHISE, GUYS" narrative, and you can expect End Times content to take precedent over historically fan demanded content from here on out.Like how often was Thanquol requested prior to this, and then only given because it was associated with the End Times?
>>582247147Dunno if it'll be worthwhile but you might wanna consider linking up with either Vlad or Ghorst.
I've awoken from my RNG nap. 1-3 Ungrim 4-6 Toddler 7-9 glottkin0 ThorekI've never played either dwarf before
Why do I have to click 8000 times for my army to attack on the campaign map?
Is creamapi working?
>>582247260Appreciate it. What tech should I focus on first? Just buffing my skellies?
>>582247298>Like how often was Thanquol requested prior to thisI should add Toddy to this too. He was heavily requested as well.
>>582247378You can creampie me, anon.
>>582247147Killing Astra early seems like a bad idea, since then you just open yourself up to Arbaal and Archaon, and neither of them likes you any more than Astragoth. Just expand south, gank Drazoath and Tretch and keep going towards Lahmia.
>>58224711010 turns to endgame crisis
I swear Kill-Stab armies get an autoresolve debuff, this was apparently a "crushing defeat"
>>582247380I actually alternated between coven techs, which are needed really quick once you have a coven because they give concealment and manipulation, and working my way towards confederating the red duke so I could have a free blood dragon lord. I didn't have any issues with the chaos dwarfs in the mean time. They mostly had goblins.
>>582247590dwarf units have everything the AR algorithm loves but aren't that good in real battles
>>582247590Skaven vs dwarf in auto resolve is that coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb meme.
>>582246913That was a different faggot from Reddit. CA will never acknowledge 4chan>>582246338I'm gonna keep bringing it up every thread someone makes a big deal out of it.
>>582247590Autoresolve has racial favoritism and will usually hand out losses to skaven regardles of army composition
>>582247380Don't bother with skellies, get zombies and get either their giga tarpit tech or their kinda killy one.
Middenland sucks, it’s just temu Kislev but with wolves and no ranged.
>>582247861No shit
the artificial urge to force-march my armies into attacking range of a "neutral" player that just captured a settlement
Can I just say I do appreciate the Vampire Counts also getting the UD Legion music tracks.
>>582247339the grandfather welcomes you
Boris Todbringer's mechanic: Dealing with randomly spawning BeastmenNagash's mechanic: Uniting the entirety of Undeath under one banner
>>582248062No, you cannot say that.
>>582247296Total Rebirth mod has proper formations (and not just for pikes, for everything).I don't know if it has Southern Realms implemented yet tho. Last I checked it was only Empire, but you COULD hire some dogs of war shaped pikemen.
>>582248253Yeah its clear Nagash and Thanquol got the love here and Glottards and Toddlet are the bastard second children.
>>582248062>Vampire Counts get the best music from TWW 1 & 3>Still dogshit compared to the rest of the Total War soundtracksCA will never recover
>>582248253boris really is paid FLC tierneferata is the real 4th lord of this patch but you get her for free
>>582248495Empire is getting another DLC, don't you worry anon. The Bloat must expand
Does Toddy even interact with Imperial Authority?? Shit feels like it was thrown together by the B-team.
>>582248618It was. A team is working on 40k and Med 3.
>>582248618Every empire faction does, but you don't get the influence-lite mechanic Franz does. It's basically just a bonus for you
>karl was the thanquolposter all alongwtf no way
would he?
>>582248898Toddy warned us.
>>582248618Imperial Authority is a flat buff to all Empfags with land in the Empire
>>582248618toddy doesn't a single shit about anything that isn't either yiffing with his own furries or killing other furries
>>582248913Ogres are notoriously stupid. As long as you give em shiny crap and a good chunk of meat that you can't really zombie back up, then sure, free meaty cannon fodder. Plus if they die, you bring those back.
>>582248898>-164 Hostile
I got instantly bored of Neferata and NagashIs Toddy's campaign fun?
Idk... Vampire counts seems cool. But I fucking hate the trash stacks playstyle...
>>582243738it doesn't happen in multiplayer so just find a friend :^)
>>582249261not really. i played 30 turns to give him the catharsis of raping the factions that have raped him nonstop for years and now i will probably never play him again
>>582243738iirc you can you just have to fight a quest battle against Khazrak to do so when he spawns.
>>582239153You can go to war then stop war and eventually force confedOr you have to outpace themOr mods
even on easy i can turn decisive victory auto resolve into defeat on manual
>activate ritual of undeath>arkhan and vampire factions get a diplomatic penalty with me
>>582248913Yes. Ogres work for anyone pretty much, so long as they're allowed to eat and drink and given some gold.
>>582238850How many YEARS was thanquol anon botting posting?Sonce TWWH2 wasn’t it?
>>582249769>not inviting arkhan to join youHe's upset you started without him.
Wow, that's going to come in real handy!
>>582249642Don't play easy.Play Normal/Very Hard with the AI modifiers set to 0. That'll impact little in terms of AI behavior but it will make it so autoresolve stops making you think you're beyond strong. It gives more realistic autoresolve basically.
>>582249963he needs to fight the bretonnians for me while i rape volkmar who is really resistant to be being raped
Thanquol poster???
>>582250014It does suck that you can't keep mortarchs as vassals.
>first scout is 3 lions and the arty that is meh without batmanwhat's she cooking
Damn dude
>>582249642Sometimes it just lies ngl. Zerkovich showed that a 64%+ ward save endgame chaos army could be autoresolved by a decent empire stack
>>582250251it'd be cool if they uses the "remnant" thing from the new vampire count confed to give you the mortrarch as a lord but leave their settlements behind as a vassal that you could later confed when you wanted
>>582250290we've returned to 1 full circle
Who are some fun LL to play with if I don't want to have an OP as shit LL that just solos battles for me? I don't mind if he's decent in combat I just don't want him to solo everything.
>>582250265there are at least 10 more lions
>>582250443Skarsnik warlord of eight peaks.
>>582250460oh my god
>play nagash>three turns in a row of zero events because no one is declaring war on each other after taking their starter provincesdoes nagash fuck with the threat level for AI that much? this is insane. everyone is just camping and waiting for me to do something
>>582250443cute mofu
someone got an updated spawn map?
>>582250614SUCH IS THE POWER OF NAGASH
>>582250614You are playing as the enemy of all living things after all
bros this dlc is kinda mid
MY MODSMY CAMPAIGN OVERHAULSLORD VENRISYOU WILL PAY FOR. THEM. ALL.
>>582250614well?are you gonna do something or just sit there on your frozen throne?
THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING ZOMBIESEVERYWHERE
>>582250872Dont get spooked
Thanquol's starting position is so ass you're basically forced to kill the entire dwarf race from turn 1
They said the fixed Teutogen Guard but they still lose to shielded longbeards and shielded Tzar guard, units their meant to counter. CA is either incompetent and doesn't know how to fix shit (likely) or they're malevolent and simply hate the Empire (Also likely).
>>582250930Yup. He should have started in Skavenblight.
>>582250930based
>>582250872I gotchu.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bkQBOgaFAc
>>582246207once again these numbers aren't real because the archive goes back only so far and he's been doing it for a year or two before that point
>>582250930What's the matter, Ratboy? Afraid you might manually battle something?
>>582239559>>582239946>t.
>>582250930>kill dwarves>trade settlements to empire>become miltary alliesAs it should be.
>>582250872Don't let the zombies bite!
why does wurrzag have siege attacker? Is it just because of the stomp? I don't have any actual gameplay changing cheats on but I've never noticed this before.
Only 20~ turns in and Nagash is fucking jacked, and I'm not even minmaxing him. It's fun
>>582248495Monday night quarterbacking of me to say but he should have been added centuries ago and it been Valten so all the little retards can get their godforsaken SEM herohammer for the empire but also because he sincerely would fit the end times scale a lot more than toddy as the dude was going to roll up and fight Archaon.
>>582251132no uDo not suffer Skaven and their 'ruins' to live, and you won't have any undercity problems in the first place. It's an abortion of a mechanic that implies Skaven WON'T annex a city, or that a player shouldn't, or some other nonsense. At least Vampire Coast has the excuse of being a semi-nomadic naval faction that raids every coastal settlement it can.
>>582251578I just wish the AI was more able to put up a fight.
>>582248416The only Total War that has better music at this point is Shogun 2 tho, and then only because I am a massive fucking weeb. Rome 1 has like one good track and Med 2 like 2.
>>582251535They gave most LL's siege attacker so they could more consistently siege their first target on the first turnSiege rework never
>>582250960Teutogen aren't meant to counter them tho. They don't even have anti-infantry.
nagash is fucking heroic victory simulator
>kill an enemy lord>a wight king spawns in my army in his placethat's cool
>>582251535Don't all LLs or lords have that?
we are buildingcant believe i had to give the french 800 ducats for not taking Danzig
STOP ITYOU DIE EVERY TIME, USE YOUR GAY RITES TO TRASH THE SETTLEMENT IN A TANTRUM AND FUCK OFF FOR 20 TURNSHOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GONNA DO THIS YOU FUCK
>>582252051SUCH IS THE POWER OF NAGASH!
>>582251910That's funny, especially since wurrzag already starts with a giant.>>582252101I don't know I've not played in ages, last time I remembered Vlad was special and had siege attack as a special bonus that was noted in the lord selector.
Where the FUCK are you supposed to get all the necromantic energy you need for all this shit
For some reason this doesn't cover the Knights Panther or White Wolf
>>582250960
kislev is so overtuned.
>>582252032>Armor piercing armored unit vs non-armor piercing armored unit.Its not a hard counter like greatswords but is definitely a counter. Chaos Warriors with GW also beat both those units as well as most GW infantry.
Lorebros how could they fuck up so hard.....
>>582252318F L CLC
Am I doing something wrong or is the new VC economy really slow?
>>582252683no you are just expected to spam skeleton stacks now
>>582252051I can't tell if his spells do damage or not but they're very flashy as he solos armies.
>>582250930isn't that a good thing? you want to wipe them out before they can develop organ guns and thunderbarges
>>582252551The fuck is wrong with those portraits btw?They look cartoony as fuck. If you generate shit with AI, at least apply some effort to make it look passable.
Did they replace the old man advisor dialogue completely or is this a new thing? Just started a Tehenhauin campaign and the mystery hag gives a region overview.
ESL here, what the fuck does this sentence mean?
>>582253179It's a problem in any TW game, which is supposed to be a sandbox, for it to instead become "must play the game in a certain way and attack factions in a certain order, or else".
fkn Grom has taken over all of Bretonnia in my Tod campaign. Guess I gotta go clean up THAT mess as well!
Does Ritual of Undeath cost really scale with provincial Vampiric Corruption? I'm not seeing it going down.
>>582253297Old man VA retired and might even have passed away, so she's been the new VA for this stuff since at least chorfs.
>>582253324that sometimes Vlad shows humanity, as in, mercy and other feelings normally linked to a decent human and not a vampire.Example: he really loves his wife
>>582253324>His sparks of conscience, love, and mercyThis is missing an oxford comma which makes the list confusing.
>>582253324That vlad has traces of conscience, love and mercy in him that derive from his desire to rule over humans
>>582253454Fuck....
>>582253526And it should be "are no doubt" not "no are doubt"
>>582253297OG advisor is like pushing 90 and either retired, or retired and then died in that order. So ever since Chaos Dwarfs trailers, she's been taking over. Maybe they'll flesh her out like they tried with the Advisor, or just leave it alone as Immortal Empires is the big draw for this game now.
>>582253454>>582253627Isnt he the same guy who did the voiceover for the intro cutscenes in WoW? If so he passed away for sure cause they had to get a new one too
>>582253520>>582253526>>582253563Didnt they swap "no" and "are" ?...and mercy are no doubt a result of his blahblah
>>582253324Vlad just wants to be the Emperor of the Empire. He's not doing it to rule a land of the dead. He just likes the idea of becoming Emperor. Compared to others who just want to be evil cartoon Necromancers, or Mannfred's stupidity.
>>582253731He's been around since DoW winter assault, right? And even earlier in some anime and other boomer shit.
>>582253916Mannfred is based. And tall. And has lots of hair.
When is the actual End Times campaign coming out?
Was this always in the game? Feels new to me.
>>582253821He also did stuff for TW for years. He was in Med2 as well. Also he voices the Empire generals I think.Never been a huge TW fan but still, sad when I heard he passed.
Is there a proper End Times now? I see that Archaon gets gigabuffed and you can do that as him too but I'm talking about the mass stacks and shield of civilization bonus stuff with a big ol' showdown around Altdorf
>>582253893Yes. I didn't even pick up on that until you pointed that out.
>>582253993I'm sure he's had a long career. Point is, he's old, and probably just wanted to do other things. It's all guess work. The bottom line is, he's no longer the Advisor in Warhammer.
>>582254064>>582254228This is basically End Times Part 1.
>vampires everywhere>chaos everywhere>skaven everywhere>rebellions everywhere>rogue armies everywhereThe campaign got a really nice shakeup with the DLC, maybe it's a bit too chaotic at times but it's probably for the best.Also Empire is fucking ass and people who complained about teutogen guard being "too strong" are fucking retarded lmao
>>582254298>Empire is fucking ass Say the line bart.
Are anyone else's units invisible? Did my creamapi bug out
>>582254228I haven't gotten to it, but yes the big draw of the whole update is proper End Time crises.>Nagash's Zombie Apocalpyse>The Vermintide from the hot coop videogame "Warhammer Fantasy: The End Times: Vermintide II">New and Improved Chaos Invasion, now with 50% more Devastation!
>>582253324Vlad from as far back as Lahmia was always a decent person. Him and Aborash both.Vampirism fucked them up but didn't take that fully away. Same way Neferata will always want to return to Lahmia, and has that twisted obsession with Khalida.This is honestly common in most forms of vampire mythology. The vampire always emulates, or craves, or has some twisted attachment, to the things they did in life and the things they valued. The vampire is a twisted stasis of the human.Vampires are truly the best monster in mythology, especially since Bram Stoker distilled it all into the modern form.
>>582254459Known creamapi issue. Also happens in recent Rome 2 patches.
>>582254440I mean I don't really care personally I just find it funny how people were having an absolute meltdown calling them greatsword (chosen) when they were just some really basic melee infantry, and after the nerf they're basically just another irrelevant unit in a game where skaven gets a siege artillery piece that can just about solo armies on its own.
The various tribes of undeath in the southlands MUST put aside their differences and take out skarbrand. It's the only way any of them survive.
>>582253324I wish Good Guy Vlad route was officially implemented in the game.
>>582252683You're meant to play neferata and spam the scheme that lets you steal 3000 from a targeted faction.
why the fuck would you want to live in the empire?It's all beastmen and norscans there
>>582254619Damn, no fixes for now?
>>582254459Turn off Blood for the Blood god for game 3.If you have Blood for the Blood god from 1 or 2 it should work anyway.
>>582254764That would require Warhammer 3 to have an economy beyond "one eco building, one infrastructure building, one public order building".
>>582253324>love and mercy no are doubt there's no way that's correct english
Elector counts? UnsummonedThrong? UnmustardTaken for a churl? AbsolutelyTotal destruction domination in every game
>>582254459>>582254619GET THE NEW BLOOD PACKup on cs.rin
Riga taken. High Threat Beastmen are spawning. 2nd Army is ready:katharina came kneeling for a nap
>>582246949>Shouldn't be difficult to do, especially with AIThe thing is modders who use AI(overtly, anyways) are usually solo project types. Discord enclave modders hate them cause they hate AI, and modders who use AI don't collaborate because they're using AI in the first place as a result of not wanting to work with other autistic modders. Also AI sucks ass at giving info it can't scrape, so they have to go to Discords to get tips on using modder frameworks and then somehow let slip they're using AI and get banned. I'm way too deep into this modding autism btw
how does this game still look so shit on highest settings
his lords can get unique traits
>>582254916Could've just made a mechanic like "Imperial unification". You do stuff to redeem yourself in the eyes of the Empire and get your Elector Count seat back. Likewise, something similar for Franz to get on Vlad's good side.
Warhammer 3 is frying my GPU
>>582245640Anyone?
>>582255120Honestly, you want a good community (even if it's discord) for modding while using AI? Go to Lazy'sSure it's all degeneracy and porn, but I doubt they'd deny you help in more regular mods. Especially if you collaborate with them on their smut.
At what point do you delete Nagash's army?
>>582252318>For some reasonThey just forgot to update it.
>>582255274Church of Sigmar hates zombies and would never accept Vlad.
>nagash's quest is a redo of elspeth's where you fight 4 greater demonsunholy cringe
>>582253297She is replacing him since CoC DLC.
NAGATH
where's my recruitment reduction....
>>582254117it was atleast in the patch before this one because I got that a few days ago but haven't seen it before that
>>582253324>>582254987even gemini thinks that's not correctthis thread is clearly nothing but ESLgods since no one else even caught that
>>582255381Honestly just give it a month for youtubers to make vids for it. It'll happen.
Can Nagash construct unique buildings in tiny settlements or does he always need a Necropolis to do that? Wondering what to turn The Great Desert of Araby into, I want the Ushabti unique building.
how many turns to get all mortarchs?
>>582255815Depends on which level the unquie building is.
>>582244412Running an auxillary stack of zombies+corpse carts with a Master Necro is usually a good idea. They're good ambush bait for your main lord and can take minor settlements consistently once the lord has a few levels.
>>582255720>ESLgods since no one else even caught thatare you too retarded to understand native speakers don't hover over every word for five seconds to figure out what its says? That they fill in the blanks for obvious sentence structure automatically to save time?
I have had it with orc's free armies
This is my greatest haul-plan so far, surely nothing can go wrong now
>>582250227Those faction effects are total dogshit. He really is the new Tehenhauin: unique mechanics that should've been basekit for all of the race faction, instead of being exclusive
>>582256062you are not a native speaker stop pretending
THIS NIGGAS ARE COOLER THAN IMAGINEDWHAT THE FUCKKK
>>582256140says the ESL who actually read slow enough to discover a typo in a loading screen
>>582255720triggered the EFLcucks with this one
It's fucked up how Settra getting new items was actually a nerf to him overall
>>582255120Wha?People now protest against AI use in fucking MODS?I have no words, there's something seriously wrong with the west today.
I wish there was a way to force Archaon's endgame to occur as a Chaos faction somewhat consistently instead of having to guess what turn I'll want to invade the empire
>>582250614It's just you. I got Volkmar declaring war on me right after he killed Mannfred
>>582255120>>582256467there's no big med 2 project that doesn't use AI rnEOP the script extender thing, along with AGO related to the same people the biggest and most feature rich med 2 mod out there use AI out the ass, and ofc m2ex the engine patch is AI coded, on the m2ex discord there's a ton of people posting about their mod development and they all use AI for somethin or other
>>582250930>>582251118Why does it matter? Your retarded OP artillery lets you win every autoresolve from there to tinbuckto
>>582252268Murder people, you get a lot of energy murdering people>>582253731Couldn't they find a guy with a similar voice? Honestly, they should have kept the old lines at least. No offense to the foid, she sounds nice enough at least, but she's not the old guy
>>582256630Is there any news about multiplayer campaign for Med 2 or any of the warscape games?I've heard something about that about a year ago, but nothing came out since.
>>582255009>27 regions in the time it took you to get two regionsDamn
>kill skarbrand>move up to next settlement>Skarbrand with a full stackBug?
>>582257182Daemonic Resurgence.
>>582257182Khorne kicked him out of the warp o algo.
>>582255463Sigmar would take one look at Vlad and realize he's different.
>>582255120I've worked on a Pharaoh mod and the complete mission silence I've gotten whenever I had any questions compounded the spitefulness I feel as a solo autist type. I don't think that total war will attract the same histrionic temper tantrum autism of FF14 modders but then again my ancient experience in modding was literally an older married guy deciding late project "You can't use my stuff anymore". Meanwhile I see people stealing shit I made for DEI 10 years ago and I don't give a huge fuck except that I know he'd also steal anything current I'd make.I did have a funny experience with AI and total war modding though. I was trying to test to see why a script I had copied from CA's attila/R2 era lua info (What little is still around online) wasn't letting me transfer regions between the two Pharaoh Elamite factions. Didn't work. AI sloppa code didn't work. Discord WH transfer settlement script changed IDs didn't work. Then I tried an experiment and it worked.Because CA had "Elamite A" ingame mapped to elamite_B in code and vice versa. It felt like the perfect microcosm of the limits of AI - the AI code was correct the entire time, but if I was not aware of how total war databases work and my own suspicion I would have never figured the solution.
>>582257153>UMM WHY ARE YOU NOT PAINTING THE MAPBecause I dont want to
>>582257281II didn't wipe him. I just wounded him.
>>582257413oh the game hates you then
>>582255720>>582256062>>582256140Most of the time us English-chuds just fast read over things and don't pick up the exact details of the sentence structure until later or on rereading. Yes, it is wrong, it should be "are no doubt" BUT anon isn't wrong to say that you'll likely get the intent and then read over it correctly.
>>582257367why are you playing the game just to play it wrong?
Gok and Magok or what. have to fight 4 of those
>>582257182khorne canceled him
>>582257134maybe in the future of m2ex, but that's a big n complicated project I think so its not a prio for now

>>582250307im just really awful and dont know what im doing
>>582257585You should read their weapon stats next time you get a chance to fight them
>>582257475Yeah, the dirty truth to native speakers is that the actual vernacular is not going to autistically follow the grammatical rules which for most of us was lessons we last learned 10-30 years ago. And as you said we'll just skim over a sentence. It's like how those languages that are such yids they remove vowels to save papyrus space and yet >f I rmv th vwls frm th sntnc you wll knw wht m syng.I included I and you because they're all vowels and I assume in hebrew there's some non vowel way of saying those words but you get the idea. Like I remember learning French in college and it being drilled into our heads inversion for the formal way of asking questions only to learn barely anyone uses inversion. I'd sound like a fucking retard doing inversion in France. Bit like how the out of date and formally stiff english lessons taught a bunch of currymunchers to think sir is used as often as mr.
>>582258009I didn't buy the dlc, I'm gonna play Tekken today and do some Skarbrand and Cathay posting. I don't rly care for the dlc.
Not even 30 turns in and he's soloing tripple stacks
>>582258487stop watching this romance slop and watch chainsmoker cat insteaddoesn't watching romance anime make you self conscious about being lonely irlthat's why I avoid it
Holy Shit Todbringer's campaign sucks ass hes losing to beastman armies half his size.
>>582258256Pretty much my experience>Language is too formalSomeone will know you're a tourist or learning because you're talking in a way that is only common in an English/Language class instead of in a normal convo. I'd say it's somewhat even more apparent in America because politicians and entertainers largely speak using highschool-tier English
Is it just me or does this look like AI?
how does nagash even lose in lore
>>582258591It's not realistic but on top of that it's also a waste of time. Nothing happens for hours of your time.
>>582258653Are you sending them to duel their lords? Also you kind of have to rush the regen amulet to really make good use of him
>>582257859>sell the capital back to the ork for vassalageThat's smart. I should have done that instead of take the place for myself on my way to vassalize katarin. Now I have no buffer for the angry manlets in the mountains.

>>582258171which weaponstats? i have to auto. am losingok holy. magok has 1076 and all are units are buffed. but i can´t find it when hover over the 3/3 threatbar
>>582258695ai would've made any periphery characters look like nonsense. tiny details like the bats and the army behind that spearman would also just be visual gibberish and inconsistent. Its always possible they use AI to put out a rough draft and get real artists to clean it up though, but then that kind of defeats the purpose
>>582258093forgot the pic, but im still learning the absolute basics and i tried to manually do this siege and ended up just getting my rats stuck in the meat grinder while peppered with artillery, spamming warp lightning did lots of work but i was like 10 minutes in and lost so many units so i just reloaded the save and auto resolved i want to fucking learn how to play so im giving it a proper go
>>582259021Empire Cathay and Helves all have recommended campaigns cookiedoughbeit?
Nagash seems to have a bug where he loses the ability to move.
>>582258935coop total war is straight up boringTW is the type of game u play with something in the background youtube or somethin' and just at your own pacealt tabbing n shihaving to wait for your buddy to make turns on top of waiting for the AI it's sluggish
>>582259210SUCH
>>582258256thats because english is literally the easiest language to learn because grammar is largely secondary to intent and context, and doesnt do too much stupid bullshit beyond bough, through, though, cough, borough and few instances of ghoti
>>582258743Betrayed by rats then stabbed to redeath by a Barbarian King with a magic sword.Next time around, betrayed by vampires. Beaten back to the grave by a Barbarian King with a magic hammer. As long as you're not wearing pants and have a magic weapon, Nagash is a traitor cultivating chump.
Ok I don't usually attempt quest battles until way later when I have an actually strong army, but I feel like Neferata's Aken-seth, the Staff of Pain quest has some serious fucking hands. I even tried replaying it thinking I should be able to do it with the army I had now that I know what to expect, but I think I actually did worse. It's a cool battle though. Once again makes me wish Vlad came in at least game 2
>>582250930Yeah they really should have put either a rat or dwarf LL in the mountains of mourn. Preferably malakai and then move slayer cuck up north.
>>582258743
>>582258915They made boris worse so now franz has a harder time
>>582246408I was thinking something like this would be cool.>every settlement has a base garrison akin to what it is now>you can add extra units to the garison (either by recruitment or trading with a local army), but they will cost upkeep>you can also instantly adopt units from garrisons into your army for free>removing built-in units from a garison turns them into a normal unit that costs upkeep, even if you put it straight back>the free garrison regenerates slowly over-time (twice as long as normal recruitment, so a unit that takes 2 turns to recruit locally would take 4 turns to be restored)
CAn somebody clarify how unit XP works?The training talents in the skill tree affect every unit in the army right? I've been putting points in the training talent for my exalted hero of chaos under the assumption that it will help my marauders rank up.Do units gain xp based on how many enemies they kill in battle? Also how do we feel about the new WoC monsters? I think the spined beast is cool and the seige giant has a neat sweeping ability. Haven't recruited a basilisk but I'm excited. I'm using the monster recruitment blessing on my glottkin
>>582258838I wait for the lords to get bogged down and sent Toddy and his manfucker to kill them and they just stand there soloing the entire army because they're unbreakable and very high stats.
>nagash's special mechanic is....a tech treeAMAZING CA
>>582258915Surrounded by too many enemies making playing as him a pain if you're not experienced enough
Y'all who are the fence pay attention because this just seems shitty as fuck so far other then Thanqual
>>582259298>te] [Auto] 1 new postI think having to disband nagash and his entire army kinda kills the campaign for me. Time for Archaon.
now that the dust has settled, which new lord is the most fun
>>582254764Funny enough, I find it kind of supported through the rework, since you actively want to hamper/fuck the other VCunts to confederate them later.So you're highly incentivized to make fights with the enemies of the Empire (including your fellow vamps).
get fucked
>>582258695It's generic but it doesn't look AI, AI has a very distinct glow and can't handle shadows or the same gritty details on the bone and the armor that this image has.
>>582257310According to canon the only reason Sigmar didn't obliterate Vlad was because Vlad was too busy shitting himself from nurgle poisoning to be in the room when Sigmar did the FUCK UNDEAD spell.
>>582260157DELETE THIS
>>582259585Boris AI doesn't deal with invasions, so now you actually have a solid wall north for you to defend against Empire land loss. It's still fucked though, >>582259831Somewhat bad idea, Todd is great at killing tons of mooks on horseback as long as they aren't high mass or anti-large but he can't duel the beastmemes at all because they have infinity stats. I don't know about the wolffucker, because I have never seen him die or take damage, but Todd himself is pretty bad otherwise at dueling these guys. I'm not sure why he's so worthless while he's flying but he has it bad. On the other hand the new wolf-kin units are great at killing lords with shit cleave like the beastmen you get sent
I haven't been able to find a single vampire lair the entire game outside of the starting one near Silver Peak and then one through a tech.
>>582259267Not rly.. turns are taken at the same time. Most of the time both finish their at the same time. I like playing coop a lot. But I'm not allowed to play Skarbrand cause then I'm gonna have 5hour long turns.
>>582260117Neferata or Thanquol
it's insane that "some times you get attacked by a 4th type of rogue army" is something CA thought would not only make a good faction mechanic, but would be so good that multiple different LLs across different races get it
>>582260613That's why I don't play undead in co-opHaving to manual every battle since the AR says your three necros, one mortis, and 16 zombies can't win a fight causes the turns to drag on.
>>582260157My unpopular opinion is TTT is actually the most fun of the Ligger LLs. Early game firebola/bomb spam > saurussy hordes, until you get to spam dinos.Nakai would be equal but he starts in C*th*y where the map is so shit it doesn't matter what your specific bonuses are.
>>582260816A lot of armies have to deal with this, but it's boring to sit around recruiting and waiting for easy targets
>>582258695The Nagash art is bad too.I think they just hired a bad artist.
Only issue with deleting Nagash's army is that you can not auto-resolve anymore.
>dlc about the orchestrators of the end of the world>they all suckok then
>Got the Burning Books of Khorne on NagashShould I embrace Khorne and devastation or nah?
>>582261158An anon said thanquol was okay. Nagash kinda sucks though.
can´t believe i need to use all 3 armies for those 2 fuckers at Talabecland and autowin this. you def. need hunters.Meanwhile Heinrich Himmler marches on Danzig in the South
>>582260831What about when you do Nakai with the IEE mod?
>>582261172I doubt Khorne would like a filthy spellcaster handling his books
>>582260816I played ghorst once in 4 player coop. My mates were on suicide watch, spectating my 20th battle with 19 zombies while I said "zooooombiiiiieeees" on repeat as they had their moshpit around the corpse cart.I am no longer allowed to play ghorst.
>>582261158You are supposed to get the Nagash DLC to improve your VC and TK campaigns, which are actually fun.
>>582261480>Waffenstarkewhat the fuck is that number
>>582261158Thanquol is one of the easiest campaigns in the game however
Did they ever post a wallpaper version of this?
>>582258695It kinda just looks like shit.Might be AI assisted. Most likely is.All new DLC art is crap. Mortarch portraits are awful too.
>>582261524It's even better when the enemy attacks you during the end turn so you have to manual it.Then after winning the second army attacks you so they get to see it all again!
Was the hype for the new Vampire Count tech tree justified?Is it good?
>>582261762It certainly makes me consider my options every time I complete a research.
>>582261502I don't use mods, though if I were ever to install one it would be to put every/any Ligger LL in Gor'rok's starting position.Honorable mention to Mazdamundi, though I feel like he gets his campaign kind of railroaded with his weird bonus to diplomacy with Morathi. Sure, it's probably better but it doesn't fit at all.Retaking Lustria feels good as Liggers.
>>582258659>America because politicians and entertainers largely speak using highschool-tier EnglishThe collapse of high culture is remarkable from an anthropological point of view to me, as the kind of cultural common reference points in the past are unthinkable today. If you speak to any religious but layperson male in the US you will much sooner find someone who knows who Abbadon the Despoiler is sooner than you will someone who knows who Absalom (who I think also was a despoiler of sorts) is. And this isn't me being some smug fedorafag because the only reason I know who Cadmus and thus Cadmean victory is because of a video game. I'm not about to fucking learn Greek and Latin while back in the day it was expected to. It's just the nature of cultural change, the rise of popular cultural entertainment and same way that latin yielded to vulgar latin.>>582259325Yeah I can't tolerate anyone bitching at English's odd grammar/vocabulary issues when every other language has them and has much worse.
>>582261158When did Boris orchestrate that?
>>582261158the moment you get blightkings with Glottbros its gg
why did they make the rats so big and muscular
>>582253324>His sparks of conscience, love and mercy no are doubt a result ofShouldn't it be: "His sparks of conscience, love and mercy are no doubt a result of" ?
the morghaist units or whatever for undead host are kinda mid
>>582261976>I can't tolerate anyone bitching at English's odd grammar/vocabulary issues when every other language has them and has much worse.English is a German/French creole that barely makes any sense, and I say that as a native speaker. The only reason it is easy to learn is BECAUSE it is a creole, not despite it.
>>582261750My favorite is the camera bug. In coop the camera speed control menu is gone for some reason but it will randomly set one player to max speed and my mates are scrubs.. so they accidentally move their hero out of an army or misclick and march their army to doom and they can't correct mid movement because suddenly their armies and heroes instant teleport to the location and we have to reload.It's very amusing hearing their moaning. Especially since my rig is 10 years old so it needs 3 minutes in the loading screen.
>>582261480why the everloving fuck does it have 1410 weapon strength? Is this a bug or?
>>582261559That's retarded logic or you're telling a joke.
>>582262270>>582261572The drakenwald menace lords have absolutely retarded weapon strength for no reason.
I now understand why the community wanted Vlad nerfed so much.
>>582262358>1410 weapon strength>Menace lords>Plural>These are the random ass nigga spawnsOkay I was having fun bullying empirefags but at this point I think CA sincerely has some kind of spite for Boris, now I feel sorry for you guys.
>bro teutogen will be fine with Boris' buffs to them>he doesn't actually have anything that buffs them
>>582262526They also decide to have fun random spawns like 2 cygors and 3 units of minotaurs at turn 15.
>>582258256>I included I and you because they're all vowels and I assume in hebrew there's some non vowel way of saying those words but you get the idea. Hebrew is kind of an interesting language.Firstly because every word is reduced to a three letter root word, and second the use of silent consonants to let you know vowel sounds appear in places even when you're not writing vowels.That said, I flunked that class because I couldn't be fucked to learn it properly.>>582258659El Presidente speaking on a 2nd grade level is widely considered one of the factors that helped him win, since presidents who speak at a high school level are seeing as too smart and high class compared to the average american.>>582261976The death of high culture especially gets fascinating when you consider that the destruction of it was largely on purpose, due to the fact that during Viet Nam we discovered as a country that an educated populace familiar with civics and the nature of democracy asks far too many questions about war instead of just blindly supporting it.Anyway, TW:VietNam when?
>>582262250It should be easy to learn, but the pronunciation is very different to most other language and the spelling is a nightmare due to never having undergone a spelling reform.Also for some reason I seem to be unable to comprehend most people lock into their native accent at around age 12 and seem to be unable to ever break out of it.
>>582262523I miss infinite healing.
its not only the lords, its the whole army. back tomorrow
>>582262716>never having undergone a spelling reformThis is false. English has had two, on opposite sides of the Atlantic.It just wasn't a spelling reform that solved any problems people today have with the spellings, it was more about standardizations (which English didn't have prior to the reforms).
>>582262630A Razorgor chariot deleted 2 of my warriors of ulric when i pulled off them at around 10% health left with my characters because they were bogged down. But they weren't bogged down apparently.
>>582254853Are they big ?
Which DLCs are fun?
>>582262526Turn 25 and I'm fighting only minotaurs, jabbaslythes and gorgons >>582262623Empire is born to suffer.
>turn 37>explored deep into Empire and Cathay>still no vampire lairs outside of the ones I force discovered with tech>one of them spawned in a province I passed by with a hero.Fuck am I doing wrong. Can heroes not find lairs? Is it only generals? Is it only once I occupy a province?
>>582262623>>582262630Okay sorry now it's circling back to so fucking spitefully overtuned against them it's funny in its ridiculousness.cygors and minotaurs at turn 15 lmao holy shit.>>582262695My eternal regret, among many, was not learning Farsi in college when I had a chance as I was intimidated by languages (let alone new script). >>582262972>Turn 25 and jabberslythes and gorgonsOh god lmao what the fuck is going on. The only way they could have been more devilish is to recommend Boris as the easiest of the DLC.
>>582262835I specifically meant spelling reform in the style that every other European language went through, where similar sounds are represented by the same set of letters. There certainly was standardization imposed on the language.
>>582262250only if youre british, american english cut out a lot of frenchisms in both spelling and pronunciations, we say the hard R
>>582261939I don't like it when too many lords are in the same place, it feels bad going to war with a friend because I want a shiny landmark imo.>>582261976Yes it is very fascinating, the death of requirements for suffrage is probably what led directly to this situation. I think it's sad and regrettable but this is ultimately what happens when an Empire becomes too big unnaturally fast. Many people simply aren't well read anymore and don't want to be. I remember a friend told me the last great man the west has seen was Nixon, and honestly I find it hard to refute that. Not a fan of his policies, but at least he was someone who could fit entirely into someone's idea of a president.
>>582263036I sent my first handmaiden to Altdorf and she found like 6 lairs along the way.I was thinking they spawn too often because there seems to be one every 3rd province.Also the Dragon Zombie Graveyard was in Azagoth's province, so that was quick to get.
>>582263167Well, you're still wrong, because it was that kind of spelling reform. English spelling pre-reform was extremely weird. Just because there are problems now doesn't mean no reforms ever happened.>>582263195Wrong.American English retains Frenchisms like the distinction between "cow" (Germanic) and "beef" (French), and that's just the surface.I study etymologies as a hobby. French influence on the English language is inescapable.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3804383832Finally a Vlad animation mod. Hopefully this can serve as a stopgap until CA finally gets around to updating him properly.
>>582262523He used to be way worse by the way, genuinely unkillable and a guaranteed loss if you couldn't kite him away from your army.>>582262526>>582262630>>582263078Boris has it real bad but he has so many faction buffs that it becomes relatively easy to afford 2/3 stacks and turtle in middenheim ambushing or settlement cheesing. The main thing making this not very fun is Boris being completely unable to take any duels because you have to compete with a retard with better weapon strength than Kolek, infinite mass, and unbreakable. It's insane. Thankfully your furries are very good in AR
I think that they forgot to add an Undead Legions victory achievement.
>>582263575New chievos are coming with 9.4
how do we feel about the vampire counts rework
>>582263437I think you understand exactly what I'm referring to but you decide to hold to an extremely specific interpretation of "spelling reform" which is completely irrelevant to the point I am making. If you would like me to call it something else just say so.
>>582263756Has a few bugs, but makes the faction fun on the campaign map.Battles still have the same issues they always had, but with Handmaidens and Drakenhof Templar you do have T3 options so you don't have to go from Zombie spam to waiting for T5.
>>582263756The new LL has a really stupid hat
>>582263818>an extremely specific interpretation of "spelling reform"no uIf anything, I'm the one with the broader definition.
>>582263485>480x200 gifs to showcase a visual mod
>>582263756I don't like that they've gotten 3 reworks while certain cucked races have only gotten 1 or less
>>582263437frenchisms are putting extra U's in words like armor and armour, or color and colourloan words arent the same, and even then cow is referring the layperson reference to the animal and beef is the meat it produces, while professionals will refer to them as steers, heifers, just like how we have pig the animal, and pork the meat it produces, and use other words like boars, sows, hogs
why the fuck cant boris raise defeated electors from taking their settlements
Ok Nagash is way too strong, Legendary campaign is a breeze
>>582263756>cúck capsWhat more is there to say? You either love watching or you don't. I personally don't.
>>582264084In the case of English, they aren't just loanwords, they were forcibly imposed distinctions caused by the Norman invasion. The peasantry used "cow" and "cow meat", the upper class used "buef " and thus "beef". An entire new class of words was created that was "for sophisticated people who don't want to sound like peasants", and they were all derived from French. This isn't like borrowing "karaoke" because it's a new concept, the concept didn't changed but how people had to talk about them did.
>Expand my empire>raise myy capital to tier 5>Now I either have to send my old army back to the capital which takes like 10 turns to do or globally recruit which will take 5 turns and bankrupt meSASUGA CA
>>582263345I definitely broke something with a mod.I'm wondering if it's the confederate defeated legendary lords. But even then, I only got like 2 bloodline lords from the various confederations, it can't be that. Heck pretty sure it's even running in for 9.0 anyways.
>>582263909>every other european language had a spelling reform so that the same sound was represented by the same set of letters in a consistent manner>english did not have thisErm akshually it did have multiple spelling reforms>yes but not in the manner i am describingUmmm akshually my definition is broader even though it doesn't meet the criteria describedYeah no shit
>>582263756Its pretty good, i like the focus on hordes.

>>582264425>Confed Defeated LLsThat mod has broken so many campaigns for me I avoid it most of the time.Are you running any mods that change Unusual Locations or Under cities?The Vampire Lairs would be using those tables.
>>582264590The initial response was directed to a post that highlighted the different pronunciations of the spelling -ough. I am sorry you are unable to infer meaning from context and hyperfixated on the definition of spelling reformYou are, of course, technically correct, despite that having no bearing in the actual conversation

What an interesting thread today..Half the empire sissies are pretending to enjoy it while posting about how unfair it is..The other half screeches it's not hard enough..Someone should study this obsession with pain and misery. And the desire to achieve maximum agony.

Nevermind, Boris is kind of OP once you level up his dedicated Furbro and get some of the unique passives allocated. Ulric Priests are so much better than Sigmar priests it's insane. Just have to live past the insanity that is the early campaign invasion
>>582265293
>>582264965No, nothing messing with unusual locations.Only thing that isn't a graphical mod I figure might be doing this is the LL one or the chorf railway one. LL one shouldn't do it anyway, since you're describing a LOT of lairs. And the chorf railway doesn't mess with the coves mechanic/tables, it's just an insta teleport based on settlement size.Most of everything I've got left is battle related or graphical, shouldn't fuck with tables.
>>582265449Ooh, yeah, sorryI was gonna play them, really, but I totally forgot to purchase them when I went to get the new DLC!And you know me, I have a limited amount of money set aside for fun stuff every month, and silly ole me just so happened to spend the last of it on the other DLCs insteadAnd I know I could try for a refund but I wouldn't push my luck with Steam support again after the incident back in February when I got a little wine drunk, you know what I mean?
>>582265515Well, you either play another game or.. develop the 'tism and play for FORTY THOUSAND HOURS
>>582265449I would have played them first, but Nagash takes priorityFat boys are second
>>582265735My problem is that it is hard to see the spawning points on the map. They are a couple of grey rocks in a map filled with grey rocks.
the new empire units look like ass
>>582265515If you don't enjoy the battles for the sake of the battles the series probably isn't for youYou might only like a one, two, or a handful or races in battle so take some time playing a number of them. You'll know they fit when you feel the urge to play decisive victories out just for the fun of actually controlling the armyThey might not even be races you are thematically interested in either
>>582265893My problem is that I am having to fight armies that have considerably better units than what I can recruit this early and my reward for killing them is 20 favour when it costs 600 to upgrade something in the temple
>>582239184Surprisingly lore accurate. Nagash was a giga jobber.
>>582239184that's because you're supposed to run nagash solo
>>582265443I have a theory about that..The empire sissies had melty over getting chosen, >>582265390were on suicide watch and then spent a month downplaying their new unit to look weak again.. I wouldn't put it past them to larp as us and attack their own or even themselves to make themselves look weak so they can continue living in their delusion of being the most skilled players and playing the hardest faction.>>582265432Empire sissies don't want either. All they want is pretending to suffer. It's a mental illness.
>>582265638TODDY DOESNT KNOW

Interesting.. I somehow randomly tagged a random post while scrolling. Hm..
>>582265293They beeline and only invade Middenheim, which is super easy to fight a settlement battle in with ranged troops. You don't actually need a dedicated army until Red danger if you have a single defense building

I'm kinda new, but I kinda want Nagash and Thanquol... but I don't have TWW2 or tomb kings and I feel I'd rather play Settra or Khalida than Nagash.
>>582268015Why are you concerned about warhammer 3? Just get the dlc u want and play it, baka.
which factions can i kill their leader for confederations/vassal as archaon
>>582268015>I'm kinda new, but I kinda want Nagash and Thanquol..You're not worthyYou have to play 5000 hours and wait 10 years before you can even consider buying the dlc
>>582268204I think literally any legendardy lord of Chaos except chorfs and probably beastmen
i chortled
Yoinked it.
This died down way faster than I expected.
zhufbar sallied out against the master plan army and i won but now the army i had besieging it disapeared and i cant target zhufbar with thanquals army cause it still thinks its under siege by the inivisible uninteractable army
Is the quest to unlock Theodore Bruckner working for you? I got and did the 1st part (construct the cavalry building ) but the second part (kill with cavalry units) isn't triggering.
Oh yeah..So does the rat spawn Skarbrand or do we have a mod for that?That's the only thing that could get me to buy this trash dlc.
>>582268015You cant just buy the TK DLC if you want, it will unlock the TK in your TWW3.For Skaven you can buy "Thanquol DLC" or "Prophet & Warlock DLC" (from TWW2) or "Shadow & Blade DLC" (from TWW2) or "Twisted & Twilight DLC" (from TWW2), any of them will be playable in TWW3.
How fucked is Settra now? Red guy and Skeletor all on his doorstep
wtf this idiot can go into necromancer debt. Was this in one of the 20 tutorial screens I skipped through

Did they add new rogue armies?
>>582267261>He thinks every Skaven fan frequents r/skavenslaves He's right but he's also wrong
>>582268015>>582269286Skaven is arguably a superior experience WITHOUT Prophet and Warlock but Ratlings are genuinely the shit>>582268941You have to use melee cav I think>>582269306Red guy is actually easy for Tomb Kangz to beat since he's slow and weak to cav and any missile units, Niggash (NPC) can't do any of the Op stuff the player can do
>>582269328Skarbrand just attacks Thanquol? What the fuck is this trash... man fuck CA.He should summon Skarbrand into battle where he goes rampage in the enemy lines. Skarbrand said "When you call for me again, I shall be waiting.".. not "I'mma bring a doomstack to fuck u".>>582269434Who?

Anything special happen with Nagash if you get all the books?
>>582272003You lose.
Some real bullshit that pirate guns can't shot below from the bridges in Khemrian siege maps
I'm one Mortarch and some sigils away from them long victory and honestly the Nagash mod felt like a much better Nagash experience than this.

Are there any must-have mods for this game?
is this some new bug with leadership? in what universe is the higlighted unit considered "being flanked" right now? it has allies on either side, the enemy line and mine are perfectly parallel and yet half my units have this debuff and none of the enemies have it

how the fuck does thankfool schemes work ive skipped tutorial
Nagash roster is garbage and soloing entire army with Nagash isn't fun
>>582274875you scheme and things happen
>>582274875they usually dont but the great horned rat thinks hes the funniest rat so he survives regardless
How the fuck do I bound a spell to a book..? Can't find the option anywhere..
>>582249941Since 2019 for sure and probably some time before, I dunno, 2018, 2017. I was around here when he started to do it, since I started to visit when TWW2 came out or a bit after. Don't visit this place much anymore, but still. End of an Era, had to visit now.
>>582275825An era.. c'mon man. It's an image of a rat holding a balloon. Not like Hitler died today.
Man, fully upgraded Todd is just Skarbrand 2.0
>>582276081Please don't insult Skarbrand. Thanks.
>>582275985Well, and era for autistic video game general.
>>582276332kek
>>582253324There's a widespread misconception that Vlad had redeeming qualities. The people who spread that misconception are illiterate.
>>582276357An era of same fagging. I watched the thousand replies he got and the time stamps clearly show enormous same faggotry.
>>582252767>add free skeleton tech>people do nothing but spam skellys>WH3 removes the free skelly tech>people actually use other units but abuse raise dead to get endgame stacks on turn 5>add unit caps for high tier units>people do nothing but spam skellies (again)full circle
>>582276876So what you're saying is we need free high tier units
Day of the Rope for TW youtubers when?

>>582252551Isn't the whole the reason Arkhan is called la negro because he has black teeth?
>Archaon knocks on my door>Dark Fortresses nowhere near me>can't do anything because 99% ward saveGuess I'll just die then?
>>582276876And then there's Ghorst and his indestructible zombiemanii.
>>582277541You are missing the important part, anon. Skarbrand is so strong because he kills while charging. Skarbrand rarely ever attacks. If you micro really well he never attacks. A griffon can't do that. The smalled unit I know of that can is a dragon and they suck at it.No matter what stats u have, if you don't have that ability, you suck.
>>582277906He originally had black teeth. But that's not his original head.
>>582258695No it's look similar in style to the bretonia loading screen. So probably same artist.
>>582274720>>582273180>>582272612STOP POSTING THIS UGLY FAT BITCH YOU COOM ADALT RETARD
I like making loreful armies, going to give Arkhan a mix of TK units and ethereals What type of army would Nagash lorefully lead? A mix of skellingtons and some monstrosities?I don't really like VCoast units at all, so I'll leave them out entirely.
>>582278354BASED....
>>582278009Ghorst was really the big winner>get to benefit from the new buffs>drawbacks don't matter because you can still spam zombiemannii
Welp, I guess we won't be playing total war for a while.
>>582278474>He can't play the game without cheatsPathetic
>>582278354>What type of army would Nagash lorefully lead?
>>582278593Hold on, maybe it will work anyway... I remember it working before after patches.. lemme check.
>>582278458Enjoy fighting every battle manually
YinYin causes the crash? Well that can't be right.
>>582278783I read from some anons that they fucked with something from the tables so mods that add units are all fucked
>>582278647You're better off fighting battles manually with VCunts 90% of the time anyway so I don't mind
Ok hear me out: what is ur giant dommy mommy was ALSO a vampire??
>>582278109Unfortunately while I can respect that Skarbrand is built different in-combat, I also don't feel like microing Mr.Brand
Redditor wanted to cheese 100% ward save archaon but can't, gets mad
Finally Platinum'd the game and now I lost all motivation to play the new lls since no achievements...
Either I'm not used to non-SFO, or the mods fucked up, but Repanse's campaign seems worse. Just when you think you've got Styrgos he pulls an entire army out of his ass. Then Sartosa declares war on you. Then Nagash confederates with his followers. Bretonnian factions don't seem to want trade deals making it harder to make money.
>>582279014>this battle may only be auto-resolvedWhy?
I'm glad they rebranded No Bonuses to Normal so that I can stop feeling bad about it.
>>582278830Lovely. I guess that means we gotta shelf total war for a long time.. YinYin hasn't been updated in a year so we'll have to wait until some random guy shows up and does it...and we need Skarbrand fixed and Vampires uncucked. Oh boy..
>>582279242Because fuck you, that's why
>>582279242because CA knew people would just build a death stack to cheese Archaon in manual instead of spending 30+ turns burning down his cuck forts
>>582279534>>582279641Gay
>>582279014End Times Archy doesn't have all of his quest items?>Not a single point in red skills even when his army is half one unit type
>>582238850Not the same without Thanquolchad
How does Nagash actually use his books? It says i get to autocast spells, but i see no place where i can equip the spells.
>>582279953IDK hth
>>582279953Apparently they are literally just passives that cast themselveshttps://youtu.be/rt3_c7ZcYfk?t=312 (5:12)
>>582279953Ooohhhhh you have to click the arrow button on the side of the book of nagash panelI knew i was being retarded somehow
>/twg/ said black pyramid buffs will be insignificant 1% buffs >they are actually quite potentWhy did you guys lie to me?
>>582279763damn after 3 years I just now got what the different colors are about in a units level circle
>>582279242>>582279014BASED, ABIDE WITH THE FUCKING RULE CHESSY NIGGER
>>582279953You do it on this menu. The spells are automatic, meaning you don't control when they're cast in battle. Sometimes a purple sun will simply appear on top of an enemy unit.https://youtu.be/DNmJFRAu2Ok?t=706
>>582279641Don't forget cheesy ways of instakilling that bypass ward save like luring Archaon on a settlement wall then destroying it from underneath him making him fall to his death
>defeat archaons invasion>80% of the world is raped and it's just me as nagash, some rats, karl franz, and some dwarves>oh boy I can't wait to colonize the world>end turn>rogue armies start spawning>end turn>rogue armies start declaring war on me>multi-stack armies running around somehow dodged archaons rape train>close gameI fucked hate rogue armies so much it's unreal
>Fighting skink flyers as nagashAHHHH FUCK OFF
Looking forward to the mod that replaces the canon mortarch roster with Azhag, Aranessa, Helman, Heinrich, Cylostra, Noctilus, Khatep, Settra, and Khalida.

Well.. I fixed YinYin.. but.. Well IE expanded is breaking the entire game.Mm...I'mma go play some Approximately Up.
>>582281196Aren't you?
where siege rework
>>5822818649.11 thrust the plan
>>582281864after 40k beta... you guys had your fun now let us have ours...
are teutogenmanii still fucked? I find legendary boris very very hard
>>582279014Can you ever fight him? I dont like auto resolving.
I just found out you cant park your ass outside a settlement and cast searing doom and stuff like that anymore? how are sieges now?
Mildly amusing.https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/bugs/14277-arkhan-the-black-when-mounted-on-razarak-dread-abyssal-has-mannfred-voice-lines
>>582282472That's what you have to destroy his forts for, the chance to put him down finally
>>582282472You can but first you need to play a drawn-out game of whack-a-mole.
>>582279014>CA taking a dump on cringe one man doomstackerswhen did they get so based wtf?
>>582282680You nearly made a good post but you missed the mark... CA is taking a shit on people who say AR is not playing the game.
Is there anything I'm missing from the game if I just wanna play archaon and dont buy anything? All the dlc is just lords who are added anyway right?
Ok so Arkhan on Dread Abyssal is not attacking anything in battle, just stands there whenever commanded to attack.
I haven't gotten to the patch yet, does Settra have his Super Saiyan Golden Settra form the chaos gods give him to fight Nagah?
>>582282867do you have champions of chaos? If so other than the nurgle units nyo
Forcing you to autoresolve IS a bit if a lazy way to make him undefeatablePersonally I'd just make it so that instead you CAN try manual but if you havn't destroyed his forts then he'll enjoy endless waves of respawning units so that victory is theoretically impossible
>>582282867You're locked out of some Chaos units, but as for Archaon specifically, all the changes made to him and his campaign were part of the patch.
Redditors confidently upvoting wrong info
>>582283068Last I checked, this game doesn't actually have an "unkillable" tag for units we'd simply kill archaon and then win. That's probably why they don't let u fight that battle.
>>582283068>>582282680>>582279014>>582279641why not fix the cheese instead
>>582283290It's enough to give him enormous constant heals, but still even if you do drop him you'll still drown under the tide of endless Chosen
Facing a dilemma now...Got Skavenblight to tier5 cheese...NOW WHAT?Don't need jizzies anymore... Do I just straight to.... STORMFIENDS?
>>582283142>>582283060sigh, guess im buying that shit or creamingI hope 40k has some end-time stuff too like creating demon worlds
>>582283460Stop posting foids
>>582283368There is no cheese, it's just using game mechanics you dumbfuck. There are countless ways you can kill a theoretically immortal unit.>>582283414Uhh.. that's just dumb tho. If you don't have a way to win then you just waste loading screen time. I mean.. it's very easy to make an army that could kill 100 armies. But if it's truly infinite spawning then just don't let people fight it. Like.. what are we doing here?
>>582283508u gay?
Is the "Thanquol soon, friends" friend safe and well? Please dont tell me that nigga died
>>582283574He ascended to heaven after accomplishing his purpose
>>582283461Champions of Chaos is essential for the Chaos units yeah they just come with so many things and if you dont have it I don't even think you can Subjugate people like Festus Villich Valkia etc
