Do you just go mono faction with a lord and then slap in a necromancer and vampire hero?
Reaching anything on the pyramid tree takes a huge investment so at least until mid-late you're not buffing up anything but a handful of basic categories and higher tier buildings need so much soul energy
Any advice for a retard?

They're fine as is, if you want high-tier infantry you can play boris and make them high-tier. In a faction with hellstorms and handgunners and grenade launchers you don't really need excellent infantry to get you your value.

Assuming that we do end up getting hero versions of all the bloodlines at some point, what role should each of them fill and how do we make sure they don't render the other heroes obsolete? Something like a Blood Dragon hero would almost certainly make the Wight King redundant unless something is done.
I wouldn't be opposed to adding the option to recruit vampire heroes from the vampire crypts along with the lords. Let us upgrade them, but not as much, and they become rarer and keep the utility of the other heroes.

I'm pretty damn sure the reaction would be similar if, say, the entire fucking province of Middenland and all of it's armies suddenly disappeared from the map with no explanation.

With Nagash I feel like it's mandatory to not stop conquering a direction until you hit the end of the map. Ideally south, least enemies that way. You just don't have the ability to really defend your land and it's insanely easy to start losing territory.
He's also so OP he gave me bad habits though.

Southern Norscan tribes are able to trade and communicate in peacetime according to the lore. There's some 40k quote where the guy goes
>Do you think I want all this bloodshed and suffering? Of course not. But these are the gods of our universe, what I want is immaterial.
It's akin to people being swept up in jihad or crusade who if left to their own devices would have been fine and happy staying at home and being peaceful and placid, but instead of societal/theological pressure and guilt making them go holy war it's the far more explicit undeniable word of their gods.

Southern Norscan worships some honorable diffused version of Khorne, but when there are clear omens and portents that you can't deny showing your god wants you to start killing everyone and anyone then it'll take a willpower of someone like Mortkin to tell them

Vamps are already rich in heroes, any bloodline-focused one will just be redundant at this point
All i can think is a male Von Carstein with lore of the beasts, and maybe demoting the Ghoul King from generic lord to generic hero as a mini-bloodline lord focused on melee, boosting ghouls and ambushes. He has no role or direction as a lord with the Strigoi Bloodline lord being better in every single way

Empire signature units (like zero equivalents in other factions)

>Demigryph cavalry
>Helblaster (no the dwarven organ does not excel at single target like the helblaster)

The empire greatsword is too fucking slow for its price/tech to synergize with any of those units

Ammo should replenish over multiple turns like health
Chaff units should replenish faster than elite units

Does Nagash ramp up? He feels like a faction that should usually dominate but I don't know if that's a good idea. Really, he should have a proper end times event instead of a 20 turn timer.

Legend criticized CA and called to boycott (aka review bomb).
Fans boycotted CA.
CA promised to do better and started announcing changes, including starting to advertise the new DLC and why it was gonna be better.
Fans largely stopped boycotting, .
Legend decides they didn't have his back and rages at everyone because... I dunno, he wanted it to end with assaulting CA HQ or something? I have no idea what he WANTED to happen.

I'll be honest, I think he was just looking for any excuse to stop spending hours a day running in circles in front of an army dodging ammo and just wanted one last viral moment to squeeze money out of before retiring. Though the "I have your back" moment seemed a bit too real.

The chaos invasion completely breaks the AI
Neferata is turtling around a single settlement with 20 armies while chaos armies ravage her empire, she lost 2/3 of what she had

Vassals do not join the war effort against archaon

The AI will ignore the 10% ward save camps completely

I get that they were trying to make it challenging but its a bit lame like this. thankfully I got the fifth camp and Nagash is 2 turns away from the everloser so he can get rekt.
>>
>>582568985
the game seethes if it predicts a non-decisive victory result and then you crush it anyway
I once got a close victory while playing Archaon because I lost 6 Screamers of Tzeentch without taking a single other casualty (because I was Aspiring Champmaxxing)
>>
>>582569732
About the same or greater value yeah
GS shouldn't be stellar because Empire should have some weakness in the way many factions would kill for grenade launchers and ironsides

Glotkin probably. You start out in Norsca, a very chill place where no one will bother you and where you can potentially make friends, then visit the Empire whenever you want, and you get a second legendary lord practically for free. Glotkin are also super strong in battle so it'd be hard for you to accidentally get them killed.

I think we got enough content. Lots of factions already suffer from unit bloat, like Empire, Greenskins and Helves.

Neferata is not my vassal though, when I say it breaks the AI I mean EVERY AI.
Elspeth is doing this as well, they are just turtling on the capital and letting chaos rape everything else.

I defeated 9 armies on top of the 5 10% ward save ones, and Archaon still had 41% ward save, this means that IN THE ENTIRE MAP not a single chaos army was defeated without my intervention
NOT ONE

Officially his background is unknown.
The latest source to come out about it says he was a random nehekharan who no one gave a shit about and changed his name repeatedly as he traveled the world.
However later lore said that source is bullshit, which has led people to believe the previous source is true, which would say that he's actually a Nehekharan Prince who was one of the men Neferata had as a booty call.
What we do know is that he was enslaved to Nagash after being turned into a vampire, and purposely got himself killed to break the curse, knowing his ring would bring him back from the dead.
He then traveled the world, learning loads, and changed his name while in Kislev to fit in.
He eventually decided he wanted to build his own idea of what nobility should look like, and found a small part of the empire that no one gave a fuck about perfect for implementing his project.
And so the Vampire Aristocracy aka the Von Carsteins were born.

>>
>>582569271
Yes. Despite the fact that Ammo is not a resource that transfers from fight to fight.
>>
>>582570020
Not quite. He seethed at his community because people called him out for giving TW3 a high score, when the game was absolute dogshit, which he obviously did because he'd once again become a complete shill. I guess he'd gotten too used to being the shining paragon of virtue of the community and couldn't handle not 1000% positive feedback. I don't know what he expected to happen, dishonest shilling will bite you in the ass if the product isn't as great as you say it is. The boycott happened but I don't think it had anything to do with the "back having", it did archive its purpose after all, CA did make Immortal Empires available for everyone after it, and that's what people wanted to happen.
>>
>>582570579

Well, akshually Vlad Dracula, for example, is just Vlad. It's a full name.
I thought the same was with our Vlad, before I stumbled on a piece of his lore.

Honestly since he's friendly to you and easy to ally and gets really strong really quick, going to war with him to get him down to 5 settlements just to subjugate him feels counter-intuitive.

You guys seriously think there's no powecreep problem?
It IS after all a number 1 reason most people get bored mid-campaign. Progression is broken, AI is extremely incompetent and there's so much rewards and buffs most of them feel unearned.
It's difficult to get a dopamine hit from unlocking stuff in this game I feel like. Like, yay, another nuke/omegahero/+100500 ward save... When you already don't have any challenge in the campaign.
Never had that problem in previous titles.

So after 106 turns on legendary as Nagash, some advice and things I learned.

Focus on getting Arkhan after he wipes his starting enemy. He is really good as a combat caster.
Wipe out the bret and dwarf factions. This will secure your western flank. You will get declared on by whoever wins the Lustriabowl at around turn 30-40 and they'll send waves at you. In my case it was Skrolk.
Don't attack Settra right away, let him whittle away at Skarbrand, then take both out. Help Manfred and sell him Volkmar's settlements if he didn't take him out for a military alliance or vassal him. He is more useful as a buffer against Kairos or Teclis.
Ignore going North unless you have to as it's exposed or the mountain hell with teleporting armies. Take out Kroq, Tiktak, Thorek and Khalida.
After securing the flanks and having a decent army, you can take Nagashizzar. It should be t5 by the time you attack it, needing only 1 tier before you can get the landmark after occupying.

Some general tips.

Your reliability doesn't matter because everyone hates you. Sell settlements to people for temporary alliances, drag them into wars and betray them.
If you care about diplomacy, make sure not to spam land of the dead as it gives you massive negative diplomacy per settlement.
Rush wings of magic, the undeath breath spell, ethereal unit nodes, Nagash buffs and winning resets your campaign movement nodes.
Don't rush to recruit Mortachs, they are valuable allies like Manfred and Arkhan early on. Krell, Vlad and Neferata will take forever since vampires seem to be dominating the map right now.
Have a lord and hero combo with traits and skills to reduce building cost to save on souls.
Your economy is trash until you go really wide and rack up bonuses, so sacking is your main way of staying afloat early on.
Soul economy is the same. Spec into post loot and soul gained after battle for it. You will never get enough from buildings.

TWW also says the Reikguard are a Secular order anon if they were a Templar Order, they would be taking their orders from the Volkmar, not Karl Franz, since Franz is the secular leader of the Empire, along with being the Prince of Reikland

I get what you mean.
But look, in Shogun 2 there's tension until the very end. Hell, Shogun 2's late game is often considered the most difficult and engaging part. Both vanilla and FoTS.
Same for, say, Divide et Impera for Rome 2.
Clearly it's Warhammer in particular that has problems.
It's too easy to setup that "golden comp".
And faction/lord buffs break units, launching even mediocre tier 2 or 3 shitters into the stratosphere too early.
Just imagine if, for example, the game had MUCH less default replenishment. This alone would change the dynamic of the campaign drastically, since at the moment replenishment stops mattering at turn 10 for most factions, you just insta regenerate all units in 1 turn.
There's problems at the very core of the game.
I don't understand why so few people see it.

I was playing multiplayer battles during Napoleon/Shogun 2 era, but it was a very long time ago. I'm too old for this shit now and enjoy campaigns much more.
Couple of years ago I managed to grab some friends and get to a multiplayer campaign - but again, it turned out that the balance in WH3 is so busted, that we spent 90% of the time making up additional rules for different lords, so we don't screw each other up too early.
Wasn't very fun.

Supply lines existed because AI wouldn't stand a chance if the player could muster multiple armies.

It wasn't a dick-measuring contest, we tried to RP and have fun.
But, for example, our Wurrzag guy kept getting demolished by Ikit Claw player.
Ikit Claw, being a decent person, didn't press his advantage and let our Wurrzag recover.
But Wurzzag felt like shit after this and quickly lost motivation to play.
And I don't blame him at all.
The tragedy that it all started great. First 15 turns were fire.
Just like in single player.

>>582578747
no, unironically what you should do mid-late game is recruit the ones you like off of CD, and just have a lord dedicated to logistics and travel that roams your lands
I usually recruit as many battle priests as possible and rotate them out with new lower level ones at the front so the ones at home can just run around as a unit buffing the fuck out of my growth while i float a bunch of Elector units
except for the tank, the tank is a bit too expensive

I really liked the chaos end time disaster, in spite of the AI becoming braindead.
The issue is that now that its over I really don't feel like even going to conquer Nagashizzar, the campaign feels done, over. With the world in the state it is now it would just be a micromanage to get all the empty settlements before the AI and that's a tad too boring.
I shouldn't have set it to start on turn 90, will do something like 130 next time.

Use the "turn province into undead wasteland" building in a distant/border province.
Don't use the evocation of nagash.
You now have a neighboring province with 0 corruption that removes the chaos debuff in like three turnss

Coast mortars carried my early game hard as Nagash, the early tomb kings, Repanse, and Skarbrand had no answer and it forced them to engage and they’d each get 150-200 kills per battle easily. A single canonade helped me snipe Skarbrand and take care of Settra’s war sphynx, but outside of those specific cases I haven’t found the roster to be that useful, everything outside of their artillery seems like pure shit.

In the end times, it doesn't happen like in ours where it's just a physical invasion force that can be stopped with enough power. The chaos gods themselves literally start breaking apart the world, further sped up by the dismantling of the great vortex due to the failed ritual when mannfred killed gelt, causing all magic to destabilize.
The cause for this is because it's literally just ragnarok where the old world is destroyed so that a new one can happen, because of muh cycles of death and rebirth.
Cue Age of Sigmar.

Kislev mod for Warhammer 2 was unironically better in many ways.
They generally shat the bed with their OC factions in 3. Both Cathay and Kislev feel out of place in Fantasy.
That's weird since they actually did a good job with vampirates in 2.
(But I like both Miao and the Tzaritsa, they're pretty hot.)
>>
>>582592223
Getting knocked down is unironically better because they can't receive damage when they're on the ground as they get iframes. Meanwhile fighting on a horse not only lowers their MD, they get a larger hit box and fucked up pathfinding in combat. If you're a caster lord, a horse is nice but you should also be shooting for a flying mount as much as possible.

foot v cav have their own benefits
>foot
some characters (aranessa, neferata) have cool unique animations that are just naturally strong
>horse
Handmaidens and glade captains only ever get a horse, but its relatively small and fast and can be used with some skill to avoid missile fire and enemy formations to hit targets of interest, this is usually an upgrade so long as your infantry are close by to buffer for you if you get stuck, but is a blantant downgrade from
>pegasi
which are just better for ganking, alot of units have anti large on horseback/pegasi, which they lose when they go to (imo) the best mounts in the game
>eagles and gryphons
not too big, but fast and tanky enough to make up for mistakes, with fantastic splash properties when you need to get on a wall and clear it out

All in all
>you will lose your monster/horse if it gets stuck
so just dotn fucking be stupid, foot has always been innately tanky since it has the smallest surface area/least surroundability/smallest models to shoot at

>No idea why the company decided that Age of Sigmar is a better idea than good ol' classic Warhammer.
The main thing was they wanted to put out new rules that would make people buy new models. Go for something more squad based.
Also, they wanted to have more "copyrightable" names, see also "Aeldari" instead of Eldar.
There was also a half hearted attempt to shoot for a slightly younger demographic.
Neither of these reasons necessitate killing off the settling entirely, as you might note.

That's intended game design. Melee cavalry is meant to be worse in melee compared to dedicated melee infantry. They're advantage is in speed and charge.

Archaon is the exception since he actually gets new attacks on dorghar. Most LLs and lords for that matter get their unique animations replaced with a basic bitch trample and jumping attack when they get on a horse.

The vermintide engame scenario should act more like an inverse of Chaos’s ward save.
Every time someone defeats a rat stack there’s a chance at gaining global shared vermintide knowledge, and that knowledge gives factions buffs against the rats and protection against under cities.
But the amount gained is really minuscule, like .05% on average. and the amount of rat stacks needs to be much higher.
Also there should be thirteen Seers that gatekeep your knowledge farming, 10 seers for each 10% knowledge threshold, halting your progress until you defeat them. Then three final bosses with the final fight being the thirteenth.

If you look at the pyramid buffs or his own skill tree you will see its all over the place. Some stuff only buffs one unit, other stuff buffs units of hte same type from both factions, so its actually easy to "focus" on both.

People like to blame Vlad for making Empire lords have a tough time during their campaigns but I am almost certain that Festus and Drycha are greater threats than Vlad.

Neferata's lahmia quest battle sets a new bar for what quest battles should be like.
Unfortunately the unlocks for it are way too fucking slow, I already had Lahmia and was part way through the Chaos Invasion when it unlocked.
Also I almost lost, not because it was hard, it was super easy with my super buffed lahmian units, but because when I got to the phase where Khalida shows up, Vlad just sprinted in and started solo dueling a necrosphinx and I just spent the entire battle watching him 1v1 and win against the construct.
>>
Good: thanks to the relative cheapness of zombies in terms of recruitment cost and upkeep, combined with the fact that recruitment is instantaneous, it's really easy for VC to start and maintain multiple armies in the early game.
Bad: because of unit caps and the fickleness of the RNG when determining where vampire lairs are located on the map, it can be really difficult to fill even one army with anything but zombies.

Don't go East then. Go straight South through Tretch, Skarsnik, Queek, Imrik and Khalida. Don't touch either Dwarfs. Eventually Thorgrim and/or Ungrim will declare a war, so be ready for that. Chorfs should leave you alone. If you're lucky you can buy them with a settlement that you don't need.

Early on you get a quest to do spend 150 manipulation.
Do it.
Then you get one to make 1 of every bloodline lord.
Do that.
Then you get one to spend 500 manipulation.
Do that.
Then you get do her Bretonnia quest battle.
Do that if you haven't already.
Then you get three.
Confed Mannfred (Optional)
Confed Vlad (Optional)
Spend 1000 Manipulation
Spending 1000 manipulation unlocks the final quest battle, but Confederating Mannfred and Vlad adds to the quest battle.

Toddy is really broken. It doesnt take long to start recruting max rank tier 2 units along with spamming all his bullshit abilities like getting reinforcements every fight or refilling his AP on command. When I was finally ready to setup to kill Vlad I had Toddy do 6 battles in 1 turn capturing several cities and raping all the boners without losing a single unit. He's basically Lu Bu on steroids, very broken character. As it stands right now he's way too strong and leaves very little reason to even play as Franz unless you want to role play keeping the empire counts together.

That being said, it’d be pretty fucking cool.
You could give him a bonus to using magical constructs like Ushabti, since their construction reached their peak in Nehekhara’s last days.

Also in addition, the confed mechanic is janky.

there are options to make the campaign as hard or easy as you want

I'm going to bet you arent, because its easier to be disingenuous and whine about shit rather than just playing what you find challenging enough and enjoyable. Some campaigns are easier than others with their mechanics being powerful, but theres plenty of things you can do to make the game harder.

Zhao Ming? Surely not.

>>582596072
he gets rolled by Elspeth almost every time

FYI if you kill a chaos legendary lord as Archaon you can just not confederate them immediately and instead take out their capitol and then click "enforce confederation" if you want their dark fortress AND the lord itself.
>>
>>582602032
must be an anomaly then because in my recent boris campaign he was beating back franz and elspeth at the same time to the point where I could confederate both.
>>
>>582602297
Before the patch, vlad would always massacre the empire in the early game then late game get rolled.
Since the patch he has killed Elspeth every time but then late game Karl just force marches into Sylvania and then murders everything on the way out.

>>582600089
empire had the problem where all empire LLs started in the same place until they added markus which unfortunately aged like milk in the sun now that lustria is chaosbowl instead of lizardmanii.

So yeah it was just free flavor.

Has anyone played khorne yet? Did they give them a new way to get the chainsword since they removed it from short victory, at least for Skarbrand?

I miss the wh2 lustriabowl.... easily the shittiest area to play in, in the whole total war series.

So they never fixed the bug where units will walk across the map to use a ladder instead of going through an open door.
Awesome.
The door is limited to something like 2~3 units at a time. The rest will divert to a single ladder anywhere on the wall. Only way to stop this from happening is to never use a ladder so they can all go through a gate at once.

so speaking of markus, how good are his archer armies when you get his double shot trait?

Hm..
I don't think I ever did one with Skarbrand. I wonder how that even works since he can't spam heroes to keep portals closed.
>>
>>582603649
On par with treefuckers I think.
Steam tanks + huntsmen are a very good and versatile army comp that doesn't have any counters, very fun to play and doesn't rely on purely broken lord and faction stats, like often the case lately.
Very good, much recommend.
>>
>>582603649
Huntsmen with markus buffs are one of the best if not the best ranged unit in the game, they outright just delete shit out of existence AND they also have anti large, double shot along with the other buff stacking just makes them comically broken.

only problem is that markus lost his campaign flavor with how dogshit and crowded current lustria is with chaos factions.

Thanquol might have the most "over by turn 30" campaign in the game.

ive never felt the need to use the ladder
I would rather AFK and wait for 3 gate breaches than have insta-exhausted units
Never enter a siege without one of the following

I said it and I mean it unironically. They're fun. I enjoy them.

>>582600371
You see, this kind of stuff is ridiculous.
Wurrzag clearly defeats your army in battle but your 1 Legendary Lord is enough to carry the entire result on his back.
A MOBA character in a Total War game and all of the units are just npc creeps.

Yeah I've just accepted that this faction is pure power fantasy. I'm basically roleplaying as the end boss.
>>
>>582604887
>>582605331
Ogres are based but I hate how their camps are hard limited. How do you campaign with like 3 max camps.
>>
>>582605331
good for you man, i never got around to enjoying them i just hated their early game and how awkward it is to play against spear factions until you have more tools.
>>
Maybe Khazrak was just misunderstood.
>>
>>582606038
The Drakwald was rightful beastmen land, he was a valiant freedom fighter for his people.
>>
>>582605274
I do, But I guess their data shows the vast majority of players just auto resolve sieges anyways so it became low on the priority for them to fix the fixes.

You can't.

Seriously.

>>582606550
Ctrl + G to group and lock
Alt + RMB to formation attack

You haven't played since release, have you?
There used to be a limit of 8 but there is a tech that gives you an additional camp slot when another camp reaches T5.

>>582606327
>cant destroy buildings and have your troops climb over the rubble that also translates to actual building damage in campaign
>cant have easily targeted towers
>nonono shit pathing with geneerous collision requirements and obnoxious sight blockers galore
When 3K did it right i thought we were in for some good sieges moving forward
>troy has none of that because it doesnt technologically make sense
>pharoah doesnt have it because it doesnt technolologically make sense
>WH3 comes out and sieges are the same awful maps
just redesign the maps to be smaller holy shit, the empire entry-forts have an elegant layout and it shows what a difference non shit map design makes for game flow

>>582606759
Thanks nigga. I'll play best-ogres after archaon they're awesome

I'm honestly a bit sad they removed minor settlement battles
>oh holy shit, Khalida is doing her final stand in lybaras
>no settlement map, we just fight in the same open desert
>>
>>582606807
I never thought I'd see someone say the empire forts aren't shit. They are the worst offenders. A sloped one way street with complete tower coverage. And ofc only one gate exists so the entire battle is slogging through the grinder just to moshpit at the gate.
>>
>>582607378
Is that a naval battle?
>>
Do I seriously have to click every individual unit to see if they're upgradeable (chaos warband upgrades)
>>
Tzeench didn't get a FLC
Tzeench's DLC lord has the worst campaign
Tzeench only has one WoC lord
The one Tzeench lord left starts in the worst part of the map.

Why does CA hate Tzeench?
>>
>>582607595
there are minor settlement battles but they have an RNG associated with them>>582607664
>clear sightlines that favor the defender but clear lanes for both attackers and defenders
this is fine, as someone who's had to defend 2 20 stacks from the empire every other turn as the coast
>>
>>582608238
Changeling's campaign is comfy.
But yes, GW and CA hate Tzeentch.
>>
>>582608238
highly likely there will be 2 new tzeench lords next dlc update.
>>
>>582608426
CA made tzeentch the main chaos faction in space marine 2 realms of ruin. its not like tzeench is slept on, its just never utilized correctly half of the time.
>>
>>582608238
I have a theory for Tzeentch I'll stand behind but I am waiting like a fag for the next thread cuz I want (you)s.
