>>582737971Me burning down some ugly dirty peasant mud huts is the official war declaration.
>>582737801Me :3c
>>582738054That's not something you can do in total war. You are not allowed to attack any city or village before you made an official war declaration.

>>582737931
i've been curious about a markus campaign for a while now but people say lustria is cancer now. i haven't done a campaign in there in a long time but is it worth giving a try? I'm feeling pretty humie right now so I want to do either Markus or Repanse.
>>582738149Me attacking is the declaration though.
Don't crucify meI liked the quest battles in realms of chaostThose prolonged sieges where you could buy reinforcements and heals for your army as you went from layer to layer. The campaign itself was annoying, but those battles were cool, Archaon would be cooler if he got a battle like that to end his crisis.
I have like 400% magic item find rate but 10 items and 5 ancillaries on turn 50
>>582738321No it is not. You clicking the okay button in diplomacy is which represents an official dialogue, which is diplomacy. Immediately after that you attack.

>>582738446Simply wrong.
>>582738049Help I can't decide
>>582738571It seems we have reached the end of this discussion. Was fun with you, anon. Work on that maladaptive behavior.For Grand Cathay!
>>582738963Thanks for admitting being wrong I know that takes a lot.
Is there a mod that lets you select where to start with a lord?
>>582738446I attacked before that happened. My army went to enemy territory and engaged in violence. The trespass and engagement is the declaration.
>>582734485The genie is out of the lamp and there's no stuffing it back in. TWW3 allows players to play dozens of radically different factions that play in completely different ways, which will be the expectation of all Total War games for the rest of time. Different army compositions and settlement structures aren't enough any more, every faction needs to play completely differently. Any faction without a pile of different mechanics to differentiate from the others in any Total War game from now on is going to get panned.Hence almost all of the TWW1 factions getting complete campaign mechanic reworks, with one of the exceptions being still being novel and different to play (Wood Elves) and the other of the exceptions being so dated and dire that it is an absolute slog to play (Bretonnia).Who fucking plays Bretonnia?
>>582738564kek why is it so riverdancewas khalida the first celt
>>582739413IDK, but it's peak.
80%? dont mind if i do
>>582739209used to use that mod all the time for my Skyrim sex pest playthroughs
>>582739209https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790754811
>>582739258Anon we have been over this.You can't do that in total war. You have to first declare war. Unless it's skaven but even then you still have to declare war or leave again, once you discover the ruin is a settlement.The exception is the trespass but that is never a war declaration.Now hush, I'm on my way home to play more Thanquol.
>>582739762>You can't do that in total war. You have to first declare war.Me attacking a settlement is the declaration though. I'm not doing diplomacy, I'm doing war.
Malekith, Witch King of _________
>>582740084Mordor
realistically, is a campaign that lasts 5 to 7 days a bad or a good thing?
>>582740239It's contextual
>>582740239If it's fun and has a good story (in your head) and rising stakes and all that, sure.
is the closed beta starting soon
>>582740524Yes but no so maybe? IDK hth
>>582740581Can you repeat the question?
Fuck you losers I'll play skarsnik can I at least get some greenskin tips or advice?
>>582739402Brets are fun to play, their cav selection and special ability is cool and I like their hero/lord spam since no supply lines.I don't the fundamental issue is campaign mechanics vs fundamental smaller faction differences, it's just that in a game that tries to differentiate units and characters as much as Warhammer does everyone playing more or less the same (Brets, Delves, High Elves before Imrik and Aislinn) is a bit boring and makes characters feel and play less unique. With the example of Malekith, at least he has a role as a melee + spellcasting lord even if campaign and army-wise he's just a bit vanilla, but this is sort of made worse with Delfs unironically being a faction that's more vanilla than Empire currently.
>>582740685You're not the boss of me
>>582740825go grom anonbe a chef
>>582740825With him, focus on gobbos, namely fanatics
>>582740825You only get gobbos anyway, but greenskins are pretty strong at least, night goblins always feel like they do a ton more work than their stats imply
>>582741065Milk those centigores
what the hell is a closed beta?i'm a stoic omega
>>582741292kek
>accidentally put one ladder up against the wall>now I can't get my army through the broken gate as they refuse to use any pathfinding except the ladder>6 units stack up at the base of the ladder instead of using the open gateHoly fuck how tilting.
>>582741292Is this one of those Ao3 things?
Do I play Nagash now or wait until cocktober?
>>582738317>Nerfed lord>Lacks most of the roster>Outated mechanics and skillsIt was fun in game 2 for the fantasy of fighting an entire jungle of lizards rambo style. But nowadays down there lizardmen arent even the absolute majority of enemies anymore
Is there a way to set all my units AI during battles so I can just watch? I spend the entire battle moving units to attack because they're too stupid to do something after an order is completed
>>582741925It's funny the way shrinking the maps changed the intended gameplay of ever faction to become some crazy multi-faction moshpit (except Ulthuan)
>>582737801This is disgusting propaganda, Arhan's titties are just as big as Naestras
>>582742370do you have a single fact to back that up?
For you it's LustriaFor me? It's Loveria...
>>582742237The reduction of minor factions really negatively impacted the game I feel. Now you're surrounded on all sides by cracked out nigga fiends fielding 4 doomstacks by turn 10.
Has TOW been updated for the new factions? Where do they go?
What race do I want to play next out of Dark Elves, Vamp Counts, Tomb Kings, Empire, Ogres or the French?
>>582742468There are a lot of factors that help create the current pace of the game, and at this point I don't think it can be easily fixed.
>>582740825>Build a 20 stack >Rush to 8 peaks>Declare war>Underway jump so you get intercepted and only fight one 8 peak army>ConfederateI always do it in the first 9 turns.
Nagash got Settra'd in my campaign lol.
>>582742558Which race did you last play?
I'd fug Arahan
For you it's Total War...For me? It's Total Diplomacy...
You now remember the Vortex campaign
>>582737935Thousands upon thousands of men have been in there
>>582742871simpler times...
>>582742871Grimer times...
>>582742614This is mostly what I like The Old World mod for>still get to play every race>there's more than a single turn's movement between settlements>varied landscapes and other cool details even if a bit barebones in some parts of the map>Get more minor factions for every raceSome unfortunate caveats though>Some start positions are brutal or not fun, like Queek forced into a settlement reinforcement battle or Throt having to fight into Nurgle and demons with a one slot settlement or Malus starting in a yellow zone>Some areas are unreasonably big, even if lore accurate>not compatible with faction modsIt is what it is, no solution will be perfect.Even opening up Ind and Khuresh so that some areas aren't a moshpit of 20 lords won't be enough
>>582742871I always liked Mortal Empires, it was a bit tight but it wasn't quite at this level and still had plenty of detail and variety. WH2 in many ways was a game of superb craftsmanship.Except for the Vortex campaign, it was kind of a bad idea to have the player get invaded every time they wanted to make progress. The cinematics were kino though and I miss having them for each faction
>We gave the vampire counts unit caps, because we're definitely aware of the power creep issue>Also, here's the Glottkin
There isnt really any reason to limit allied units in the armythis is purely an anti fun mechanic, it is already hard to get these units as it isbalance? Dont make me laugh, there is none
what a quitter
Think I've got a new voice line for 40k>I cannot reach that location sir! How is it?
Should I buckbreak Be'lakor into being my vassal or force confed him?
>>582743620>we're definitely aware of the power creep issue>Anyways, here is a 5 winds cost winds of death for neferata, also the lhamian elite infantry heals itself without needing to use spells
>>582743810>THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHER-EEEUUGHAAAAHHHHHURGGHHHGULULULULULULULU
This game needs a fucking undo movement button
>>582744023Oh that's a good one. Which unit is that?
>>582737801Yin Yin
Okay so... Nagash campaign.What EGC? *not* the End Times ones, the Crisis ones.
What the fuck is this? They aren't a real faction, don't hold cities, they just run around and kill things.
I've got a new personality.>Empire guy with a Cathay girlfriendWhat do you think?
>>582744263Whatever you have enabled..?
>>582743272While the extra space and fodder factions are good, it doesn't fundamentally change the design of the experience.All factions have similar campaigns because all factions have the same incentives. In theory, a faction like greenskins should play more aggressive, their economy always in the red and only sustained by massive amounts of sacking.In practice, this happens to every faction, even factions who should be more defensive like the empire, because fighting constantly, instead of draining your resources, actually gives you more resources than your settlements could ever hope for. So you never really consolidate a region you conquered, the turn after you conquer something your army is already marching to the next objective. You never have to "recover" from war because war gives you 20 times the money peace gives you (again, this might make sense for some factions, but not so much for others)So every campaign makes you feel like a bum every second you are not conquering somewhere.It doesn't help that replenishment is so easy to access, that global recruitment is the norm, or that public order is piss easy to mantain. Every single mechanic in the game incentivizes the exact same playstyle, every faction is best played as a conquering horde of maniacs who attack every settlement within movement range.You are not playing the empire, you are playing the greenskins with guns, or the skeleton greenskins, or the pointy ears greenskins. Everyone is in a constant WAAGH.And of course, the AI has the same incentives, so its a race against the clock for you to abuse your hyperaggression faster than they abuse theirs.
>>582744353Based-pog
>>582744263I guess for Nagash the most thematic are Skaven (the ones who stopped him in the past)But I played with the Archaon one and had fun.
is it better to trigger endtimes asap as archaon or collect more fortresses
Okay so how do you Nagash? I'm not a fun of undead factions and don't know how to play the first 50 turns or so. I've tried>go after bretonnians, settra goes berserk and reaches power rank 4-8, kills me>go after settra, rapanse does a knight doomstack and wrecks havoc in the whole africa and kills me>if I somehow manage to kill both, mannfred turns out to be power rank 1 or 2 and refuses to even do a non agression pact, ends up declaring war and kills me>if by some miracle I survive all of that, kairos declares war and teleports 5 full stacks, kills meI've tried confederating arkhan as soon as possible and leaving him be so that he becomes stronger. Doesn't matter. I started the campaigns on hard/hard and had to switch to normal/hard, doesn't matter. In the 7 or 8 times I've tried I always sack settlements but barely have enough funds to maintain a 20 stack mediocre army. Movement range is laughable and with one single army the game is kinda making me play tall but again, not enough funds. I've started a beastmen campaign and a dark elf campaign and nagash gets killed by the AI before turn 20, which makes a lot of sense. Please help me with a final go at nagash before I drop him for good
>>582737575Malekith is the coolest character and invading ulthuan will never get boring. Are there any other characters with a fun end goal they actually want to conquer lore-wise? Belegar is cool for that too, but playing empire after consolidating it feels stupid to expand anywhere else.
>>582745054Placate Settra. Help Arkham abolish French people and then subjagate him and then work together to bring Settra down
>>582745087Malekith is so cool
>>582745087Maybe in WH2 he was. He's a fucking slog in WH3
>>582745054>if I somehow manage to kill both, mannfred turns out to be power rank 1 or 2 and refuses to even do a non agression pact, ends up declaring war and kills meGive him a settlement as part of a deal, the AI values that a lot to the point you can make him your vassal even if he's stronger than you.Khemri's region has 4 settlements, you can spare one.
>>582745087>Space Marine:\>Space Marine, Elf:O
Staaahp making these maps.. ofc it's gonna be a valiant defeat is nothing can shoot you faggots.
>>582745087I remember loving the character when I was a teenager until I found out about the end times. They basically killed his personality and turned him into a little bitch that got pounded by almost every major and minor character in the setting. Also the high elf point of view>yeah you've been killing/enslaving/raping our people for hundreds of years, but we cool now, you can be our kingIs so dumb everytime I remember that part I get unreasonably mad
some zombie just ran off half way through the battle and got attacked by n'kari soloarcheon just kind of suicided into the zombie blob after I closed one portal and the wight kings and vampires just gang banged every solo lord
>dragon gets blasted by half an army of weapon teams>survives with 1hp and lands>instant full hp
ULRICS TAINT RETREEEEEEEEAT
>>582742558Another WoC campaign but as Kholek this time since I’d never done him before. Before that it was Chorfs, and before them it was Norsca. All were before the most recent dlc.
FUCK U FAGGOT
>>582745384ngl i'm surprised people bought into age of sigmar when end times preceded it lmao
>>582742782Fuck meant this >>582745976
5 years into Total War: 40k, we'll all hate it and we'll yearn for something better...That better? Age of Sigmar...We all know it to be true... Just give it time...
>>582746135Why didn't they name it age of sigma?
>>582746135The only setting in fantasy with more generic and worse lore than 40k? Yeah nah
>>582746030It took ten years of good will and good looking models to make it work. Honestly from what I gathered the rules are actually good and the models look neat, but most everyone I know that play it don't give two fucks about the story or the lore. It isn't like Fantasy where people were borderline nationalistic about their factions, people see AoS as a game first, like how MTG players approach it.
what the heck is wrong with the bri*ish?
>>582747028Hard R too... wtf...
>>582744261
>gets ass raped>AAHH PLEASE CONFEDERATE MEGreat..
>>582747028
>>582747309
>>582747309>>582747028In TWH2, you could get lizard men named Clo'aca
I'm being tempted. She's hot. I'll agree.
>>582747665Ti'ti
>>582747670Wait, N'kari doesn't look like that... I think...
>>582747716I don't like that.
>>582747872I'm pretty sure the lore is that N'kari looks like whatever you find hot.
>>582747872No, I'm pretty sure they look hot...Maybe it's a new hair style?
In 78 turns, I had one single functional kill stab plan. These things are awful.
>>582747885Fine, I'll just post basic ass thic-thik
>>582742797Made for bbc
>>582748195BIG BEASTMEN COCKRAA ROO..I really don't like calling it bbc tho, please don't do that..
>>582748057ive had 8 in 40 and 6 of them successful
>>582748253Thats not what I meant Goatboy
Guys what if we set up a kickstarter for a campaign redesign? CA will have to listen then. Or a gofundme?
>>582748309What do you call successful? Successful to me would mean at least 15 units, half of them T4-5. Anything else is unusable. I'm not walking in there with a handful of slaves.>>582748403Then kill yourself, filth. Overdose on fentanyl like your brothers.
>>582748253Do you think beastmen ever come out "wrong" and they're scrawny and twinkish? I mean more so than the ungor already are.
>>582743684The limit is to prevent the AI from going full mercenary and pretending to be a different faction. Please understand
>>582748479That's what rat-vermin are for-for!
>Rascism in /twg/Yikes
>>582748057I think the play is just to spam stealpain with the upgrades and just get free money for all of themKill plan is lame
>>582748479Beast Bucks are ALL like that
hows this possible
>>582748776they never use heroes and play only ogres?
bets on who is going to win?
My next campaign will be Eltharion.I'll stuff Arkhan, Zhatan and Niggash into my cells while listening to Mood-dragon-man. For Ulthuan!>>582748620Sure as fuck is. Only helpful in the first 15 turns to overcome AI cheats.
>>582749037Stuff Archaon, Nagash, and Thanqol in cells
>>582748776Based CHAD not abusing Heroes...
>>582749079Knowing CA, that's not gonna do anything to prevent the scenarios.
>no verminlord gfwhy live...
Erhmmm...VERMIN...QUEEEN!
Idk how to play Archeon. Do I kill everyone near me and turn them into vassals?
>>582738216There's a series of mods by " Strandzi "on steam workshop that does exactly this. I played a tamuekhan game with absolutely every faction turned on at 200% strength and it was beyond raped, 5 minute endturns.It's nothing special just optional end game stacks spawning for the other factions, but it's fun.
Why is my 2nd quest battle against Gotrek Again.. with a shitty trash army..
Yin Yin soon, friends?
Haven't seen anything about total warhammer 3 in a while. They add yinyin, the dragon that makes the most sense for a total war game?
>kroq-gar distracted archaon for like 25 turns somehow even though he spawned directly on top of himI KNEEL kroq-GOD
>>582750258Unstoppable force vs Immovable object
I have not seen anyone talk about the great spined chaos beast yetPersonally I like it. Bretty useful
>>582750190HOW DARE YOU STAND WHERE HE STOOD
>Play strong faction>Just mash my units into AI and get easy win. No tactics required and get bored>Play weak faction>Just use campaign and battle cheese strats to get easy wins until I can expand and doomstack and then get bored.This game really needs AI improvements.
AghhhhHow is it so hard to get my "cheats" to work on this game anymore.I've only got stuff that says it works on this update and I still crash on boot :sob:
Your great spined chaos beast, sir.
>>582750151because Gotrek is based
When and where is Grave Call recruitment available? Some of my lords can and some can't. Sometimes it works in enemy territory and sometimes not.
>>582745347I like him because he’s a cool evil Sauron guy but also kind of has a a just goal and cause. He really did get screwed out of becoming phoenix king and then lost his homeland. He just wants his birthright back
I don't even call him Gotrek any more. I call him Basedtrek and his friend Felix I call his friend Basedlix so together they're Gotbased and Basedlix. And their best friend Alberic de Bordeleaux!
I often wonder how the vamp pirates can take over ulthuan.. this retarded shit tried to convince me these 2 trash stacks could wipe out 90% of my frontline.Dude.. you don't even have enough ammo to do that. I've got a trillion rats and my artillery shits all over yours..Like.. Ugh...
>>582751348I call them gaytrek and faglix, personally.
>>582737801I mean, it's literally just objectively Arahan and Naestra.Even if they're individually less fertile than another lord, the fact that you can have two ovens baking at the same time means that they will never be beat.
>>582751912kek based
>>582751912>t. completely not-not thanquol
>scheme-plan to dig new under city>Warbringer unbound>Corruptor unbound>Deceiver unboundHow the fuck do you 'accidently' summon three greater deamons digging a tunnel?
>the first DLC developed entirely under a right-wing American administration has pleasant-sounding sexy vampire women, whose voice lines are about how sexy, seductive and beautiful they areHoly shit. Is that really the secret to everything? I noticed this with the Kingdom Come sequel, which was developed after a massive political shift happened in America.
>>582752598By being Thanquol
>>582752598such is the power of Thanquol
>>582753339still not as hot as the original vampfu
>>582753339CA are British thoAnd that's what Neffy looked like on TT and other vamps are loosely based on TT (see vamps on coven throne mini)
>>582753339This guy thinks they were doing genuine work on Bashiva for more than 16 months.
>>582754358Bongistan's an American satellite territory thoughever
>>582754358>CA are British thoAnd I am German, but I still acknowledge that American politics has more influence on my life than German politics. At least until the AfD has a realistic chance to get into government.
Well this fucking sucks..90% of my under empire is below elspeth and she declared war on me. If I fight her, I lose all of those undercities which means I lose all my food and starve in a few rounds.
Need some empire autist to give info on landships.Regular landship has cannon on front, ironsides on deck and sniper on crows nest.Regiment of renown age of wonders has hellblaster cannon on front, grenadiers on deck, mortar on deck and sniper on crows nest ????Amethyst landship is same as regular but the front cannon is some genocide cannon and all the other stuff is replaced with the pink magic shit nuln uses on amethyst units ???????
>>582755061You really think a miscegenating lesbian is going to help Germany? I'd sooner trust Thanquol to help the Empire.
I'm paying nearly 120 bux for a fulltank of gas but at least neferata looks nice, lol
>>582756105We are a large diverse ethnic group. We make up a third of the US population. We are not just a few villages and a city and call ourselves a nation. Our party is not hierarchical. It is very diverse and decentralized. It's also young. It's an amalgamation of a lot of different forces. So it doesn't matter what Weidel is a Lesbian (she has justifiable reasons btw, since she was relentlessly harassed by Turks in her teenage years)
>>582756465Bot post
I found a use for stormfiends!They attract the hellcannon shots so my real units don't get hit. They still don't do anything else tho.
I just spent $300 on a T-girl on OF, which lord do I play to cope with this feel ?
>>582757042there is nonejust kill yourself
>>582757042How was it? What does trussy feel like?
>>582757042depends on which t-girl
is fishing for disciplined low iq play?
>>582757042Nagash 100%
>>582757546yeah because you can just download the mod
> still having to spam left click on units because they forget commands after being entangled with an enemy unit > Pathing is still complete dogshit> somehow the geniuses managed to make siege battles even less playable on certain maps and Undead Legions tower building is bugged. > settlement trading is ridiculously OP and the AI still can't use it> enemy AI can't use it's own faction mechanics on the campaign map so relies on buffs and cheats to create a challenge.> numerous bugs too many to list still unfixed some are decades old at this point.Why are we playing this shit and rewarding CA again ?
>>582758239ca is incapable of fixing the unit behavior ai so dont expect it
>>582758239The engine is old and never was very good, plus there's probably nobody left at the studio who was around when they made it.
>mfw WoW Forever, WC3 Forsaken campaign, Witcher 3 remastered, Ace Combat 8CA can suck a cock until siege rework
>>582758418>WC3 Forsaken campaignIs it good? Haven't looked into it. Don't think I've even played WC3 in over 15 years.
>>582758418they all suck
>>582758239As far as big strategy games go, TW is the only one to make battles remotely fun.Originally they sacrificed everything else about the genre to make battles fun, then as they got complacent over the years they sacrificed the battles too.It's only in the last year or so they've tried to come around on that and it's a slow process and some of the damage is irreversible at this point, hence the push for 40k to have a 'new engine'.
>>582758239Enemy AI often uses faction mechanics better than the player can because they get cheated resources.
i was expecting a huge battle with reinforcements on both sides not a stupid settlement battle for the finalekinda lame
>>582758704Yeah the final Archaon battle is shit.It really should have been a Player + 2 strongest factions in the world versus Archaon in a massive battle.
>>582757042>just spent $300 on a T-girl on OFHOW
>>582758823Engine can't handle battles that big. It can barely manage 2v2. Please wait for "WarCore", new engine from The Creative Assembly.
>>582758823>Player + 2 strongest factionsThat sort of borderline magical tech is far beyond CA
>>582757042Imagine giving your money away for nothing lmfao. The goyim truly are cattle.
I'm considering vassalizing Boris playing as Vlad, But I'm honestly not sure if it's to *gamey* It seems sort of flavorful for this particular faction, and the campaign always starts feeling so empty without the Empire. Maybe I should try vassalizing both Boris and Katarina, and hopefully they can help shield me against Chaos when the crisis triggers
>>582758993Sad but true, the Neferata vs Khalida quest battle feels more epic by cheatily spawning and despawning units to make it seem like a far bigger battle.And it works.>>582759017Wouldn't surprise me.
This is getting kinda annoying. I'm also not a fan of how the warp doom magma cannon vomits out all its damage in 1 minute and then goes afk for the entire battle.
>>582759189As Vlad I always vassalize Katarina.Toddy I dunno, it makes sense to try it but he's so belligerent that lorewise he'd be better dead with you vassalizing Hochland

>>582758823it should be like 20 non chaos factionsand they all enter with a marvel one linerI would stand up and clap
>>582759745Programs saving stuff to my C drive for no good reason can fuck right off.
Von Carstein lords are actually better wizards than necrarchs. The other bloodlines all suck at magic, Lahmians desperately need better spells.
>>582759745>>582760273>Use windows settings to move appdata to a different drive to avoid this>Some games still save to C: because they're hard coded to go to that location instead of check for where the appdata installation is
>>582760390Nechrarchs also has better buffs for Grave-guards, I honestly feel like it should have been the other way around
>>582760390Even when stacking the spell intensity on the Necrarchs? I got like 60% with no effort and not the best gear.But the Necrarch spell selection definitely leaves a lot to be desired.
have you tried installing the game on a different drive instead
>random level 1 beastlord with 1.6k ws just wrecked my borisEmpirebros...
>>582747670Mod name?
>>582760390Amazing that you didn't notice that Lahmians are hyper-focused on dueling and all their spells support that. It's not like it's hard to get spellcaster heroes that can do wind of death.
Best SEM faction?

>>582760714ra rooed
Army bound bombardment spells were a mistake.
Ikit's Weaponteams btw :D*Teutogen Guards and Handmaidens gets another nerf*
>>582738049Skarsnik, not only is he the NIGHT gobbo lord (Grom is more generic gobbos) but he's also the one about numbers rather than buff stacking so you get more night gobbos.
>>582761907Skaven are supposed to be overpowered.
Another WoC DLC dropped? YIPPEE! I can't wait to start another Beastmen campaign!
>>582762001That's such a shitty opinion, just as retarded as the Empire is supposed to underpowered!
That new Empire campaign track is fucking beautiful holy shit.
I have music turned off and I have my Kpop playlist.
>>582758515It's basically the Rexxar campaign but human and later undead.
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS.https://youtu.be/D_i4VpliBtw
>>582760390Necrarch gets more spell intensity easier than any other Vamp and gets infinite WoM.
>>582761907I miss engineer stacking, I'd love to see the warpdoom magma cannon with 18 engineers
Despite sucking so hard, why is the Empire so much more fun than other, more powerful races in the game?
>>582762761Ask yourself, it's your shitty opinion.
>>582762761>fun
>>582762676>gucci gang kinda of weird but it grows on you
>>582760606>it should have been the other way aroundBut if Von Carstein buffed wights then who would buff the Sylvanian levies? Did you even think of the Sylvanian levies?
Never bought Tomb Kings or Vamp Coast. It's neat to get to try them out with Nagash. Really liking them, especially Tomb Kings
>>582762676wheres the other new battle track
>>582762950Good guy Vlad has been disaster for the von Carstein bloodline. We could have surpassed Nagash but muh Sylvanian levies...
>>582762761you can only believe the empire sucks if you LOOOOOVE greatswords/spearmen/etc and never recruit outriders
>>582746135WIth Nagash we pretty much already have OBR in the game. Just need few more units and chadakros. AoS would have been million times cooler than 40k.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI FORGOT THEY CAN INTERCEPT MY UNDERWAY
>>582760606>Nechrarchs also has better buffs for Grave-guardsdefault necro has better for grave guards. nechrachs are garbage lords.
>>582763090Way to out yourself as Easy/Easy enjoyer.
If you rely on wind of death spam to win as Vampires you are a shitter.
>>582762761Well for one, because it makes unloved retards with no parents seethe at you for reasons they'll try to scrounge for to hide that they're just contrarians who hate anything popular.And for two, because the fantasy of uniting the Empire against the forces of evil makes you feel like a hero in a way few other races manage to do.
Is it true that Isabella loses all her levels if you do the hero to lord convert?
>>582756465and thats you retards will never be able to govern lolyour purpose is only to destabilize Germany, hence the sources of your funding.
Necrarch lords have fun VO. I hope there's a compilation of their voice lines, they sound like disgusting fucking nerds, it's great.
>>582763198Yes.
>>582763215>MY EXPERIMEEEEENTS!
>>582763290Bravo CA
HAAAHAAAAGET FUCKED EMP SISSYI'm using Vlad's settlements as bait for ambushes.
Take the Necrarch pill
>>582762950>Sylvanian leviesI'm honestly getting some fantastic use out of the Rifle-men. They outrange the Empires own ranged unit's with Vlads range buff. If only there also was some Sylvanian artiellery, It would be kind of fun to have Vlads army able to function like the Empire's but with an unliving frontline
>>582763394Shitters meme about the levies because they can't use Handgunners and can only get wins by using skelly blobs and wind of death.
Did Be'lakor get anything for the big ET update?
Uhh.. why exactly is Archaon fighting rats anyway? He loves the horned rat and skaven are part of chaos.. he actually most aligns with the horned rat too. This is stupid.
I'LL HAVE THIS WORLD
>>582760925People don't understand that in Tabletop>Blood Dragons best for ripping through loads of infantry>Lahmians best for 1v1>Von Carsteins are versatile because Vlad and Mannfred are opposites>Strigoi are lol lmao>Necrachs are super casters
>>582763620Counterpoint: Why does the 1v1 lord get a final mount that completely unsuited to 1v1s?Also wasn't the whole point of BDs that they are the honourable duel type vampires?
>>582763090>nechrachs are garbage lords.I'm literally soloing entire armies using him
>>582750190>>582750638Someone should ritual post yin yin every thread. Should only take 9 years
>>582763727If it doesn't have Wind of Death it's automatically garbage to some "people".
>>582763562Jealous of the superior chaos species
>>582763869What you mean.. Archaon sides with the rats and fought with and for them.. they have the same goal.
Make Yin-Yin add turtles to Cathay's roster and I swear I'll buy the DLC three times and swear eternal allegiance to Cathay, CA.Hell, if you let me do a tiger and turtle army, I'll actually get into TOW and start collecting minis, GW.
>>582763869Humans are the superior Chaos species, because they have to actively make a choice to worship it. Skaven, like beastmemes, have no choice.
>>582759017That's basically the WH2 vortex finale script. You fight the AI lord's army, and if they don't have shit it generates a doomstack for them.
>>582763974That's not true.

>>582763721>Also wasn't the whole point of BDs that they are the honourable duel type vampires?That's just Abhorash.Walach when he made the blood knights and stuff is just as murder happy asshole and so are the blood knights.
>>582763861I guess so. They are missing out. Dropping down a 450 unit of skeletons down in the middle of my enemies, then buffing the shit out of them and giving them damage reflections works incredibly well
Imagine if Bretonnia could capture enemy lords and heroes that were 'killed' in battle. Like Eltharion's mechanic, but it happens automatically. Perhaps there could be a technology or a skill for lords/prophetesses unlock to either enable this or increase the chance of it happening.-Lords and heroes can be ransomed back to their faction or executed, removing them from their faction permanently (unless they are already immortal). -Ransomed characters can rejoin their faction's armies again after a few turns.-Ransoming them make the enemy faction like you a little more/executing them makes their faction like you less. -Ransoming order factions' characters earns chivalry, whereas executing them loses chivalry. For non-order/evil races it would be the opposite.-Ransoming also gives more money, but at the cost of movement range, maybe for the next turn too.Would this work?Ransoming means that if you end up in a war with a faction you'd rather not fight you can help bring about an end to the war quicker, and without weakening the faction too much by potentially killing their strong but not yet immortal characters.Don't know about character items. Maybe ransoming them means you don't get any of their items?

I like how a few sniper rats annihilate 3 gold Chosen.
is it just me or is alarielle the type to go after shotasi just get that kinda vibe from that chareven more so than with morathi
More Tomb Kings content, pretty please.
>>582765468/ss/ is more of a Wood Elf thing.High Elves are more ntr coded.Dark Elves are /d/ coded.
>>582765362Jezzail's are probably my favorite ranged unit in the game. They just work against everything
I CAN'T FUCKING CATCH HIMHE WAS SIEGING A SETTLEMENT, I ARRIVE, HE'S INVISIBLE AGAINhave to make peacesigh
>>582766105RA ROO
>never play vampire counts>play nagash>suffer with every army that isn't himim thinking about restarting this campaign and just focusing heavy on vampire coast gun units
You'll never believe who's reinforcing me.
>>582766105Skarbrand chad hereFUCK THAT GUY
>>582762761No other faction quite captures the indomitable human spirit
>>582766332The streamer who was doing the dev streams also said he built wholly into nagash and was getting his ass kicked.Restarted and built into his units more and the campaign became a breeze.
>>582765536Sehenesmet as a LL would be cool.https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/SehenesmetAnd Ramhotep the Visionary as a LH. https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Ramhotep
LOOK AT THIS CHADHe's flying in with his helicopters and just DWARFHANDLES this bitch.
>>582766426>Sehenesmet as a LL would be cool.Fark off it's Amanhotep the Intolerant or we riot
>>582766387yea there's simply too many fronts and not enough Nagash to go around. I sent poor Arkhan to go hold off Wurzhag's boyz and he got krumped hard.
>>582766927>3 random humans fighting with orksMust have been surreal for them
>>582766927>blissful and dreadful to beholdthere is nothing blissful about that bitch
What are the chances this little lvl 15 lord can take on 3 armies? I kinda wanna try.
Zombies... are good
"close victory"
This is already looking bad. I'm so gonna die.
these things are beasts, carrying my shitty arkhan stacks for many many turnsnow they'll have to shine again against chaosslopgod speed warriors
>>582742468It's led to places no longer having the actual flavor of their location unless you start off there. By the time you reach Araby and Nehekhara it won't feel like it's tomb kingdom, by the time you reach Lustria most likely won't feel Lizardmanii.>>582743272I liked TOW for kislev but good lord the turn rate mid-later game was impossible to work with. Might be better on my new PC at least.
>>582767056volkmar was rolling in his grave that I just put him into 2 turns prior.
>>582764196No that is quite literally the canon lore. It's why the gods abandoned the Fimir and why they don't give a shit about beastmemes. They value above all else that humans have to actually make a choice.
Who will be the Karl Franz of 40k, if anyone?
>>582765135Fuck that noise, you drop the skellymen and then plonk a nice Purple Sun down once the enemy committed some troops to them and watch them all melt in 5 seconds flat.
>>582767692I have never even heard of a single human who actively worships them.. besides Archaon. That's just not a thing.
>>582766808WTF? Never heard of him before.Him as a naval LL with the Curse of Zandri acting like a Dark Elf black ark would be a really fun and unique Tomb King campaign.
>>582767747me
>>582765687Dark Elves are the NTR race tho. The men are expected to be loyal while the women are free to be as slutty and whorish as they want and the man is expected to accept it. This is 100% canon by the way.
I banked on Skreech to somehow carry this battle cause anon said he's a 1man doomstack but he gets manhandled in the 1v1 against a random SEM.Oh well...Had a feeling this guy would be trash.
>>582742871soon...
>>582767415nevermind skelly archers smurfed in this battlevery underrated units bats and skelly archers took down a bloodthirster xd
another issue I have with Nagash is that I like to use the landmark mod but with his settlement system you can't use any of the ones in minor settlements.
>>582767820Bro has never heard of norsca, cultists, chaos warriors, etc.
>>582767820You're either comically misunderstanding what we're talking about or just plain baiting.
>>582758418ewww
>>582767909Are you using him wrong on purpose?
i have no fuckin idea what im doing xdjust searching "grave call" and going for the units I want to be able to easily recruiti am too brainlet to master this faction
>>582767747Clearly GulliCHAD
>>582767692>the FimirFimir mentioned.
>>582768034None of those want to do it. >>582768039I'm not. Archaon, maybe Be'lakor, are the only ones I know who ever chose to worship chaos. Settra was a human I guess so maybe he counts. Everyone else got somehow corrupted, then manipulated into worshiping chaos. None of them want to. None ever wanted to. They just fell for chaos. That's how this shit works.>>582768195If he can't handle a 1v1 he's useless.
>>582767747Guilliman is the extremely obvious choice.
>>582767747Creed.But he's fucking dead...
>>582767896So like High Elves then./d/ark elves at least have more going for them.
>>582768315k, baiting then
>>582768315He beats everything 1v1
>>582768415Did they really just kill him only to have his daughter take his place who's the exact same character but an ugly womeme instead thus inherently more lame?
>Nurgle now has the best infantry in the game>Top 3 cavalry>Amazing artillery>A great lore of magic>The most busted lords in the game>Extremely powerful campaign mechanics>If playing Tamurkhan, you also have some of the best ranged infantry in the game
>>582768540Yes.8/10 in Bongland
>>582768238Sounds like you know exactly what you're doing. The upgrades for those units are always next to their grave call anyway.Also, is there a reason not to just minmax starting units and then reset? Does the reset cost anything?
>>582767747Ursula Creed is the beloved main leader of the Astra Militarum.
>>582768587yeah it costs gold/dark currency whateverbut its fairly cheapthat sounds like the type of minmaxxing u do if ur playin legendary thoim playin on hard campaigntryinna eventually work up to very hard, but nagash is hard enough I think
>>582768514I sent him to kill a SEM.. he nearly lost.. this evidence beats your words.
>>582768540I think they "killed him" (aka. trapped him in stasis in Trazyn's vault) to justify that he didn't die during the timeskip from Cadia's fall and Guilliman's return to the end of the Indomitus Crusade. Considering they recently hinted that Rogal Dorn is also there, I suspect they're planning to one day have Trazyn's vault get rekt and then they'll both return.
>>582768587>>582768674oh yeahthere is a thing preventing u from doing thatu can't refund more than what it costs to get past the numbered barriers on the treeso u HAVE to have 50 invested at all times bellow the 2nd barrier which needs 50 prerequisite to go intoetc
2nd try.. I hope this one works.
>>582768601That's Leontus.Ursula Creed is just the general of one cadian regiment.
Nice blob, that's what ya like to see.
>>582768697You're just bad
>>582768578>>582768793I seeI'm not invested enough in the setting to really know but it feels like they're largely coasting by on the legacy of previously established lore that was still cool and/or popular because almost every new addition I hear about sounds boring to terrible, even the best bits just sound like Marvel larp.My uneducated take is that it's being propped up by quality adaptations elsewhere, a captured audience and simply GW being too lazy so it's a slow process.This isn't really the place to discuss it but I wonder how popular all the new lore is these past few years because I just don't see the appeal, makes me miss the nothing happens era
Now that Skaven have greater daemons I feel like I don't have a reason to play any other faction now.The best campaign mechanics, the most varied and interesting armies.
>>582768968What's with all these Imperial Guard supreme commanders trying to look like Solar Macharius.
>>582769038Not now, emp sissy, I'm busy winning bigly.
>>582769246eww skaven corruption green looks so badit hurts my eyes to look at
why is this forcing me to take it as a necropolis instead of one of the other ones like I did with every other region?
>>582769183You're right, there is no reason.The Skaven are just the best. Other factions only exist to serve as fodder for them.It'll be dreadful when 40k releases and there are no Skaven, but fortunately we know that Skaven are being added to the 40k setting in the near future.
>>582769145I feel like the problem is they're a model company that needs to continuously release new models.New models require new lore to justify them but the people they have writing for them currently are only a fraction of the talent and vision of the founders.
DAMN he's good. 2 more armies to go.
>>582769435weird, isn't Numas that minor settlement next to Khemri?
desu even tho tomb guard are better I'll stick with grave guard in my armiesthey simply look cooler
I will hire the second lord on turn 1
I have no idea which vampire LL is my favorite now.
>>582769183They need a base mechanics update/rework, and there should be a way to upgrade lords to verminlords
>pyrrhic victory>steal one of their cheap units with nameless>valiant defeat
Time for 2nd. I gave the jobber rat lord shitloads of items so he doesn't job anymore.
I'm beginning to come around on Strigoi.>Strigoi bloodline raises unit cap by 3 per level>Strigoi lords raise unit cap by an additional 3Sure all you get out of them are ghouls & horrors, but these units are relatively low tier and low cost, meaning you can actually get good mileage out of them early on, and they actually let you autoresolve shit instead of fighting battles manually with skeletons and zombies. Blood Dragon lords get to be unstoppable with their upgrades, but it takes way longer to make good on the raised Blood Knight cap. They don't let you have an actual army nearly as quickly.
>>582770051If you want a more traditional army based game, sure. But I feel like the way to go is good old herohammer with Vamps.
>going through my own starting region>on turn 32 my lvl 10 necro gets wounded>next turn my level THIRTY FIVE lord gets wounded as wellWhat the fuck is going on?
>auto cast spirit leechlmaonagash is fuckin disgusting
>>582762761I don't give a shit about the 'waaah racism' in this image (probably too low rez to see), racism is fine and based, but you empire fans are as insufferable as guardsfags.>>582768315Chaos is either a Faustian bargain a retard thinks they can pull a fast one over or it's the gradual corruption wherein by the time you're too far gone you've already passed a dozen >I should stopmoments and kept going with first the Faustian bargaining and then at some point that Hellraiser line of:>And to think I hesitated.Kicks in.Also Archaon hated Chaos at first, tried to resist it. It's still a choice even if you are corrupted, as you chose to let yourself be corrupted. There was that chaos warlord who had the blessings of the Gods and yet after he achieved revenge for his people rejected their gift and let himself be killed as his own man rather than as a slave to chaos. Showing even in the midst of immense corruption a choice can be made.

>>582745054My L/VH Nagash campaign was so easy compared to what people make it seem in these threads.You're supposed to take the province you start at war with, confed Arkhan, use him to take out the dwarves while you take out Repanse, then you hold the entire western africa at, like, turn 12, and just start expanding east, take out Settra, get a second book and confed Mannfred and so on.

>>582767747Lord SolarIf we are very lucky he will be LL instead of Ursula in a base game. It can happen actually, since he is not as tied to a particular regiment, just like Yarrick. You would be even able to use him with your donut steel IG (and Yarrick as well). Fuck, I wouldn't be even surprised if they make Karl VA voice him as well, down to a reference.That way CA could sell Cadian themed dlc still with UrsulaProblem is that there is already a very little room where to put females. So IG will have to bear the full force of DEI mandates, again>>582769145nothing happens stillAfter all complaining, GW overcorrected so Imperium loses everything, but ultimately everything happens all at once and without end>>582768540They blatantly tried to do so with Yarrick and that new Commissar girl, but changed plans already so she was released as a minor, incompetent character merely

but guys my neetbux doesn't arrive until the end of october
I'd be more pro-campaign-mechanics if 75% of them weren't incredibly stupid shit like Bretonnnia's "hey remember that gold mechanic that exists as a limiting factor on doomstacking? Well here's a new, entirely separate one that reduces your ability to fight back against enemies even further" and then the other 25% is blatantly OP shit that allows you to start steamrolling without any issues.

Shogun 2 Goy Edition changelog:https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war/blogs/115
>>582768315Anon the vast majority of Norscans actively worship the chaos gods. It’s simply the religion/culture they were born into, that doesn’t delegitimize the fact that they do indeed actively worship it.
yepp I have to cheese this with settlement tradingfuck yet another long war you just get attacked nonstop from all sides at random, now I have to war vamps too if I wanna confed manfredgeez
>>582774661this FUCKER MANFRED IS CLEANING UP AFTER ME TAKING MY SETTLEMENTSi have to get him down to 5 and less to confedbut can't wait for 8 turns cause had treatiesso clunky
>>582769203I'm pretty sure that's their point
>>582774549kekd
ok so I need to curb stomp Manny to get his regions down, but also go either fuck with Skarbrand to go get the book from the rogue army in his area, or send Arkhan deep into the jungles.
Guys I'm about to start a Nagash campaign. I've seen a couple of videos of the pyramid tech tree. Do I lean into buffs for Nagash or into buffs for units for specific factions? For what I've read I have the feeling it's going to be a disappointing campaign overall, I don't want to shoot myself on the foot
>>582774549>not a word about netcode/multiplayer/simultaneous turns and 8 player campaign supportSo they're essentially selling an engine upgrade + community bugfix mod?I'm now sad End Times did so well, this company deserves to go bankrupt
>>582775075yikes
>>582775075>So while we respect the culture and traditions of Japan, we still felt like it would be more inclusive to have female soldiers in the units
>>582774549Thank you TCALGBT, very cool
>>582775108Don't worry about the pyramid.Just make sure you don't make treaties with Mannfred, because you probably have to fight him to confederate him. Having treaties makes this harder for you.
>>582775446I was taught in school that two positives = 1 negativeThey broke it again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV87N57Ud58looks good to me desu
>disable realm divideunironically great featurevid is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV87N57Ud58
>>582775405Well I mean, onnabushi were real.
>>582775108The only mortarchs you'll get before the campaign is over are arkhan, mannfred, and the follower one that lets you possess a unit. Whatever you do, you will be disappointed
My Napoleon brain makes me angry when I see an entire column-stack of gunners all firing their guns in one big volley. Gunners should take damage for doing that shit.
>>582775081I'd only curbstomp him if you have enough of a secure front elsewhere (likely North). If skarbrand is active you do not have a secure Northern Front. I quit my first campaign but I felt successful taking skarbrand's initial province and not advancing further. You can position a 2nd lord stack up at Skarbrand's former capital to protect against Skaven, the wastes north-west of that province aren't liable to invade you (It'll probably be pirate lady or randoms). I could see a value to razing Skarbrand's province then holding the garrisoning lord at the more defensible Khemri but if it is skaven they'll be able to bypass the swamp that guards your flank there.>>582775108Someone in this thread earlier said streamer had a better time buffing units not Nagash. Nagash is already plenty powerful on his own so I don't see a need to focus on buffing him except as the way through the pyramid to get to other unit buffs. Your issue isn't Nagash himself, it's whereever Nagash is not.>>582775608FOTS did realm divide best where once the crisis point reaches everybody goes>Do I align with the big dog or do I band together against him?Its not perfect as unless I am wrong AI don't change whether they are shogunate or emperor, so it is a hard baked alliance, but principle is right.
>>582775608>disable realm divideYeah, and if they add the new "Skaven player" difficulty mod, maybe Warhammer shitters will be able to even complete a campaign.
>>582755061>AfDAlternativ fur Disrael
What did they break now?
>>582775738that would make guns useless in whor they'd have to massively buff them>>582775769fuck realm divide nigga i'm disabling that shitits so annoying and breaks my flow
>>582774649When you get born into a place and grow up being taught to worship something, you never actively made the choice to. That's how this reply chain started. They never chose to, they were taught to because they thought it was normal.
>>582775608Considering every time I play shogun 2 my end goal is survive realm divide and not conquering Kyoto, that's a stupid choice. Without realm divide you can just walk through the capital with yaris and a couple units of samurai archers
>>582775769>UHHH ACTUALLY HAVING EVERYONE DECLARE WAR ON YOU SIMULTANEOUSLY IS SKILL EXPRESSIONGoycattle
>>582775846Gun units feel like they're already getting into a power creep situation. Okay, so maybe they don't take damage, but I would have them forced to be in a row only stacked high enough that its somewhat plausible that all units in the formation can fire. Either that, or make units only fire what's free to fire.
>>582775769Man the rats just live rent free in your head don't they bitch
>>582775910So don't turn it off
waitthese unit caps are FACTION WIDE? holy shii thought it was per army
>>582776353Enjoy your cagie while I'm making weapon team stacks.
>>582776353welcome to a real campaign nigga
wtf why cant counts have any interaction with nagash if you play as themi mean at least let me confederate him or somethingwhat is this gay shit
>>582775856And as human they still have the choice you fucking imbecile. Beastmen and Fimir LITERALLY don't even have that, they are creatures of chaos through and through. Humans aren't. Ergo they have a choice. Fucks sake I hate arguing with ESL.
>>582776353Yeah, it's tomb kings but worse because they require upkeep. The greatest necromancer can't have more than two spear infantry
Time to finish my new army.>>582776591If Chaos for norscans was a choice they would all flee norsca.
>ninja cutscenes are still inapologise
>>582776523There is no fucking reason to care about balance in a single player game. Nagash should be overpowered in every way, unit caps are fucking stupid antiplayer bullshit.
>>582776752so cheat and remove them then you big baby
Question about the Sylvanian Marksmen skill. It says "Gain: 1 additional Sylvanian Crossbowmen and Sylvanian Handgunner". Does that mean it ups the cap or does it actually spawn those units? Because other skills typically read "+1 X unit capacity". Idk if this skill works altogether differently or if it's just the phrasing that's inconsistent.
>>582776752Just download cheats if you don't care about balance and stop crying, jeez.I miss the times when people were ashamed of being shit at videogames.
>>582776658Okay, I get it, you are simply intent on not understanding. Great talk.
what the fuck are these bean bags these samurai have on their backs
what was the context here?
>>582776925Even a rat knows that if religion was a choice we wouldn't have it in the world but we do, same with chaos worshippers. Educate yourself, anon sama.
>>582776942Anti-arrow technorogy, stupid gaijin would not understand.
I WANTY TO PLAY AS NAGASH BUT NOT WITH HIS SHIT BLOATED RACELET COUNTS CONFEDERATE NAGASH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>582776353>>582776752nah I actually don't mind cause I think the point of nagash is to start off as some kinda insignificant threat in the desert and grow into a mega bossbut goddamn is it more unforgiving than i thought, because u have to pump in giga currency into that screne just to be able to have a frontline on more than 2 armies
>playing Sayl>attention of the gods event>fight some chump event army or gamble for a buff or debuff>choose to gamble obviously>get debuff>every single army just fucking dies because the attrition is completely unavoidablewad de fug

3rd Fortress, here we go..
Okay, I had a look at which lords/heroes raise which unit caps (not counting Regiments of Renown) through faction effects, lord effects, and skills.>Banshee: +1 Cairn Wraiths>Blood Dragon Vampire Lord: +1 Blood Knights, +1 Drakenhof Templars>Heinrich Kemmler: +1 Cairn Wraiths and Hexwraiths, +2 Wight Kings>Isabella von Carstein [LL]: +5 Vampires>Isabella von Carstein [LH]: +1 Vampires>Krell: +2 Wight Kings, +2 Grave Guard>Lahmian Vampire Lord: +2 Lahmian Handmaidens>Master Necromancer: +2 Grave Guard>Neferata: +2 Lahmian Vampires, +2 Lahmian Handmaidens>The Red Duke: +1 Blood Knights, +1 Drakenhof Templars>Strigoi Ghoul King: +4 Crypt Ghouls, +2 Crypt Horrors>Strigoi Vampire Lord: +4 Crypt Ghouls, +2 Crypt Horrors>Vlad von Carstein [LL]: +2 Sylvanian Crossbowmen and Sylvanian Handgunners>Walach Harkon: +1 Blood KnightsNow, even if I did slip somewhere, I think the takeaway broadly has to be HOLY SHIT JUST LET ME USE VARGHEISTS FFS
>skaven are as predicted the strongest after the update as always6 ratling stormfiends and 4 of the big cannons can win any battle without even moving units around
>>582775574>>582775608huh a polish studio is developing it their history is the stalker trilogy remake that had some bugs and a controversy because they removed almost all the soviet symbols
>>582778850Ikit Claw pure ranged army is still weaker than that of Empire, Aislinn or Cathay
>>582779054Sure kiddo.
That's it.. I'm disbanding the Stormfiends. They actively make my army worse.
>>582779168>no argumentI accept your concession
>>582778876>and a controversy because they removed almost all the soviet symbolsthat presumably won't be an issue in a game set in 16th-century JapanI would also guess the publisher asked them to remove the USSR stuff in Stalker for political reasons, it wasn't a choice they made themselves
Me and a buddy of mine have become obsessed with fixing Age of Sigmar's lore in DMs because there's so little you can basically just make up whatever the fuck you want.
>>582779382That's very brave of you. Gold star.
>>582779267A claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Your move. Unless you wanna just admit you're wrong and save face.
>>582779354yeah, anyways they re-added some of the main stuffthe games had technical bugs such as some issue with postprocessing on release causing stalker SoC to look blurry when it wasn't before but they fixed it in week 1-2 patches and since its pretty okay it was free for all stalker trilogy owners too idk about the middle game looks like the PC port of a console game
>>582779497I like some of the factions and I'm not entirely against the realm stuff but its really clear that Age of Sigmar is the "widespread appeal" version of 40k that Games Workshop wishes they had. Its 40k with all the rough edges sanded off and DEFINITELY NO LORE because if they start building lore they might not be able to randomly pull minis out of their ass to sell to you.
>>582779054In what way? the big cannons outrange everything those factions has, which means if you have 4 of them you'll kill most stuff before it even gets in range, ratling gunners suppress anything that moves fast and unlike other factions who has to fight skaven very few has the ability to summon units anywhere on the map to shut down artillery pieces
It's kind of funny how the best economy buff in the entire game is getting a technology or factionwide trait for "Replenish X% movement range after a battle" because it allows you to reliably sack then occupy every time without the risk of losing momentum from running out.
>>582778876ho is lichmaxxing
>>582779239Are they really that bad?
Playing with the new Necrach lords is better than sex.
>>582780543>The gulls are EATING THE CREW!
Man these polish devs have a funny accent
>>582780478They're op as shit, 19 ratling stormfiends are the strongest doomstack in the game
>>582780767Such is life in ESLandia.
>>582775856So you’re saying nobody in the Empire of man actually worships Sigmar except for the newly converted?Your criteria for what constitutes worship seem very obtuse.
>>582780767polish is an amazing lang, it's the most singiest sounding slavic lang due to this amazing letter ą they have also gives em an interesting eng accent where they tend to exxentuate end of words a lot
Shogun 2 ost was goat holy shitHow beddow fucked up warhammer that badly?
>>582741778Yes. During manual sieges I have to decide whether to go for the walls or wait for the gate because you can't do either. Unless you're ogres then just go for the walls.
>>582780478Lemme explain this shitlord of a unit to you.They are THE HIGHEST PRIORITY target of my entire army. Everything, absolutely everything runs and shoots their way. Usually that would be the warp lightning cannon or the mortars. What that means, since they frontline, the enemy artillery stays further back to blast them, forcing me to retreat them so my artillery can easily counterfire.It also means that the ENTIRE cav of the enemy army breaks out sideways to run straight into the stormfiends instead of my ratling guns.It means I have to micromanage these absolute shitheads nonstop just so they don't die and protect them while they achieve NOTHING.I could replace them with any piece of artillery and my army would have a perfect balance that would make all my battles easier.They have 0 value in this army. They are the weak link. The army is only as strong as the weakest link.>>582780927Anon fuck off.
>Confederate Isabella.>Turn her into a LL.>Now have to spend a point on mount options and regiments of renown autounlocks.CA?
>>582781318Just get more of them, they are supposed to be your frontline
>>582763072Outrider spam and War Wagons alone turned Elspeth, Gelt, and Boris's campaign into free wins before turn 40ish. On the flipside, the battles are extremely boring with them
>Play Nagash>Discover that he's just a more boring Vampire Coast because ultimately it's about your lord/hero and your gunpowder units, also shitty garrisons that make holding land a joke if you're not cheesingNeferata is a more fun campaign.
>>582780543I wouldn't know.
>>582780180it's over...
>>582781629Grand idea. Get more of them, which are worse than ratling guns and block my backline entirely.
>>582781506You should already have the renown units
>>582781908Well, she's hardly a gem.
>>582780543The skeletons you get from their special ability have so much hp that even when their time runs out they survive the DoT effect. It’s funny to see.
>>582781917They are better than ratling guns though as they can actually shoot things>blocking backlinePosition better holy shit you're bad
>>582781117>How beddow fucked up warhammer that badly?He was always shit. This guy was awful ever since the Empire. There's a reason why the second most popular mod for Rome 2 was the one that replaced ost with original, too.I'd say Beddow's Warhammer OST is actually his best one, there's some winners. Like the game 1 main theme. But yeah, compared to Jeff he's mediocre at best. Not to mention he loses even to fellow Warhammer composers like Jesper Kyd.No idea why Beddow still has a job.
I've never bothered with the books of nagash. How do you get them? Do you just walk through other people's territories and don't give a fuck about diplomacy?
>>582782141I have 0, ZERO issues with my gatling guns not firing. Fucking get some skill man.You talk to me about position and can't get ratlings to fire. You are worse than trash, lamau
annoying battle
>>582780802Not even close, retard.
>>582781984I summoned them on top of a unit of rot knights, then cast the two beasts lore buffs on them and the damage reflection skill. They fucking won.The other unit of rot knights I just fate of bjuna'd and it exploded.
BATS AND WOLVES GATHER
>>582782420No you see Necrarch is actually dogshit because it doesn't have WoD okay???
>>582782304Name one 19x doomstack that's stronger
this walach guy sounds okis he a relative of my lord?
>>582781917It they're such a threat magnet a smart player would use them as bait to make a perfect killzone and exploit the ai behavior. Maybe you should stick to playing chinks you love so much.
this group of dwarfs is so fucking annoying but something happens EVERY time i try and go for themat least they don't declare war first, respect
>>582782664Yeah sure whatever why not
>>582782420The buff spells are huge at 200% intensity even if one of them has a terrible duration.
>>582782203>Do you just walk through other people's territories and don't give a fuck about diplomacy?Such is the power of Nagash.
>>582782670You wanna put 12 large ogres in the middle as magnets while.. and entire weapons team army.. fires upon them..
>>582782605Archaon + 19 Legendary Heroes
Do you think GW is the one making balancing decisions based on what they think sells well?Because at this point, what is the actual purpose of buying the DLC? You're just getting worse campaigns, worse experiences, when what you could be doing is playing Empire or Skaven like GW/CA wants you to be doing.
Why would you play these guys over new rats or new empire anyways? Doesn't even feel like a power trip fantasy seems just average and it's all same old units that always sucked to play with
>>582782203Basically. You have to completely give up on the idea of a contiguous empire.
Why are new Anon so terrible at baiting? I miss the days of that oldblood Anon who lost the first battle as Taurox.
>>582782686I'm on my first Nagash run and I just went for the brets immediately, confederated Arkhan and crushed the manlets. Wurrzag attacked next but there was time to get back.
Haven't played twwh3 in many years. Is there a particular hero that's new for someone who likes to have a well defended starting position to slowly spread outwards? Be it a corner or a friendly faction to cover your rear.
>>582783057yeah i did the same cept left em alone cause immediately skarshart declared in the east afaik
>>582783251Queek
>>582782871Even if you don't buy DLCs, their free faction "reworks" are more than enough to ruin campaigns. The last good rework was Empire one back in 2 .
>choose not to join the chaos invasion as Sayl>the chaos Invasion spawns 2 armies into the northern edge of the map that I controlthis has to be a bug or an extreme oversight especially since Sayl's whole thing is being just for himself and against the chaos godsalso this just ends my campaign since my economic and recruiting core is going to get wiped out on the next 2-3 turns as all my armies are at war easily half a dozen turns awayalso Sight Beyond Sight just flat out didn't work against the Chaos Invasion
>>582783365plap plap plap get cranked get cranked get cranked
lol got this fuckboy without even having to fight him got his territory and it put him under the confed limit>that incomesightime to start disbanding :)
my nagash stack is lookin strongg tho>inb4 NOOO YOU DON'T NEED POWERFUL UNITS HE'S STRONG ENOUGH TO SOLO ARMIES JUST TAKE SKELLIES AND OPTIMIZE OTHER STACKSnolord necro needs a strong retinue
It's like I'm watching Game of Thrones again!
>>582781671>War wagons>Good??? Are you insane?Regardless the Empire having decent gunpowder units doesn’t justify their melee infantry being so poor. Teutogen Guard in particular are pathetic, they can’t beat anything.
so this is how the new chaos maps look like? i thought they were porting the chaos realm battlemaps into immortal empires, or do they appear just when is the chaos end times?
>>582784061>their melee infantry being so poorDo I even have to say it?Well I like saying it so I guess I can say it one more time.Empire is supposed to suck.
There is not one good reason why Teutogens shouldn’t be able to trade evenly with chosen.
CATTLE OF CHAOS
>>582784347They'll never be able to trade with chosen really empiresissies are so funny.
>>582784424And then he got assraped cause he never was a god.
>>582784061are you talking about multiplayer?or are you too stupid and retarded to increase the stats of your units?
>>582784594THE end times is not canon to wh3 sweetie this is a different intepretation of it
>>582784061You don't complain that VCounts don't have ranged. Or that dwarfs don't have cavalry.Or that Wood Elfes don't have gunpowder skirmishers.It's the same for empire infantry.Their strength is in their other units. If you can't play without strong infantry, choose another faction or download some cheats that buff empire infantry or add new, stronger units.Plenty of options for you, mate.
Overall how is the new endgame?
>>582784706You wanna talk canon in Warhammer3? And say the end times aren't?This entire game is a complete mix of lores. We have Cathay from Old World, we have the Fantasy races, we have the literal End Times happening at the same time.
>>582784867Yin-Yin could have prevented the End Times if she was invented in 2014...
>>582784867no it's not the literal end timesit's inspired by the end times but they said repeatedly its not the end times from lore so anything can happen and no ending is canon for now :^)
it seems saving up for a corrupted ghoul king for your first vampire is just absolutely vital, undead climate is so fucking good and you dont need to wait for t4 and speed like 4k blood to change it
>>582785028The announcer says:>THESE ARE THE END TIMESSo like.. these are the end times.. I mean, this game has always been all different timelines at the same time while retconning fantasy.But uhh.. I mean there is no point in arguing over if Nagash gets fucked over cause.. well it's a game.. I guess he doesn't if u play him.>>582785025All of Cathay could have but they didn't exist during end times.
Is there a specific reason why we're at turn 35 and this fucker has 4 full stacks of pretty decent units and dragons while I'm struggling to field a mix match of the most utter shit I can muster? >nagash was weakNever has been more true
Its not The End Times of WHFB thoughever it's the The End Times of Total War: Warhammer 3 cookiedoughbeit.
morghast WoW chads > lords of change
>>582785382>4 full stacks of pretty decent unitsThe AI ignores unit caps. If you played him you would struggle to fill four stacks with anything besides zombies.
>>582784735end times is dogshit, removing the ability to take territory is worse than any other mechanic and of course your allies or anyone that becomes your ally is now useless since on any difficulty other than easy the ai can't ever do any damage to a single chaos army in auto resolve and vampirates and aislann or anyone else with non standarded empire building is beyond fucked
>>582782937Spiting GW and CA by playing the factions that they really, really don't want you to play as is its own reward.
>>582785382there is tons of t3 +dragon capacity buildings that also let you recruit them around the map
>>582785530They're balanced
that female demonettes mod coming in clutch
>>582785382Why did they give the power fantasy faction such insane power limiters?>terrible economy>caps on literally everything>long winded tech tree full of +0.3% increasesI understand he's more a kangs lord than a vamp lord and so weak early is in-keeping with the theme but why the fuck is Nagash paying upkeep. They should either further nerf his economy and remove upkeep or keep it the same and remove upkeep, either way he shouldn't be paying WoC prices for skelemanii
>>582782937the new vampire lord and nagash are still weaker than HELMAN GHORST simply because of all his bonuses being to early game units you can spam and include in every armycant even get ghorst on your side as nagash because hes technically not even dead
>>582785956>cheats
>>582785956sir your horsecocks?
>>582784719Counts do have ranged, their handgunners are actually better than the Empire’s.Gyrocopters are essentially top tier ranged flying cavalry that dwarfs get at T2.Wood elves already have incredible skirmishers It’s only the Empire that gets singled out this way, people just make stupid excuses for why their infantry should be bad. It’s nonsense
can we stop talking about the undead please
>>582786318Undead update, undead game.
>>582786035The best thing is that he actually is a power fantasy faction in the AI's hands as they ignore economy, caps and tech trees.
>>582786318OK we'll discuss empiresissies and the state of their infantry rightfully sucking shit instead.First order of business, Chosen absolutely decimate even the best empire melee infantry and this is a good thing.
>>582786318no
>>582786453no i want to talk about rats, anon...
morghasts doing workvery annoying battle how chaos monkeys spawn in from portals all around you
>>582786513Then you should have picked the discourse, dumb stupid faggot niggerbitch.
I think we need to address the Glottkin situation
>encounter Kairos>he's chill with me>still randomly swaps my settlementsworst fucking AI faction in the game. Any time you encounter him you basically have to be ready to wipe him off the face of the map to avoid getting trolled by changing of ways mechanics
Do the AIs make any better decisions on Very Hard?Because its astounding how often I'll see an AI city and its built in possibly the most inefficient way. Considering how linear and restrictive building is, and the fact that the map is static and settlements have the same resources and layouts every time, you think you could fix this with pre-made building plans for each faction.Instead they just let the AI cheat.
>>582783365>chaos armies spawn in the chaos wastes>wtf CA?Starting to think people itt are genuinely retarded
>>582786575what the fuck
>Nagash actually feels like you’re the endgame event, big fuck off spaceship pyramid and all.>Archaon still feels like he’s generic chaos wastes hobo #27

OH FUCKKK NO JUST WHEN I FIND SOME STABILITY IN THIS CAMPAIGN MANguess the dwarfs live another day
>>582787038i guess you are right anonive just been having a lot of fun with thanquol, malakai and grimgor this update, i should give neffy a try
>>582787202My most played warhammer 2 faction was Tomb Kings
Karl is so lucky...
There's supposed to be a db folder here. Why is it missing?
>>582786453are you trying to trigger people with this? us empireGODS know our faction is weaker and 'yet we always persevere against chaos trannies, we're just built different like that and use adversity to our advantage, you wouldn't know since you are coddled
>>582787615Sounds like it worked if you got this irate over it thoughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>582775405Are the models cute?
>RULER OF THE NORTHERN PROVINCES>SENTINEL OF THE GREAT BASTION>SUPREME MATRIARCH OF NAN GAU>MASTER OF THE STORM WINDS>DAUGHTER OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR
>>582787712...ever
>>582787336wrong
ok so which the Disable Diplomacy Camera Focus mods is the working one?
Whats more fun if ive never played either franz or the new guy, or just elspeth with new things?
>>582787901The one I use.
So why do the elf factions barely have any legendary heroes?
>>582788285Elspeth is the most fun I've had. Mid game you can dissolve anything the AI throws at you with only gunpowder. It's almost comical
>>582786626AI building and player building priorities are not equivalent
>>582788438Idk but it's gotta be a nefarious plot by GW I'm sure.
>>582788517What building priorities could they have since they get free money on every difficulty except Easy maybe?
TOTAL ELF RAPE
>>582788438Heroism is inherent to humans.
>>582788698silence monkey
This game sure has a lot of sea-focused factions for the game series that views naval combat as a horrible mistake, never to be repeated again.
>>582788672lmao i forgot about my morghasts that battle maybe u rly dont need that many units in the stack of the strongest lord in the game that "redirect projectiles" ability is so troll vs elves, holy shit
>>582788438most elves who would be heroes are lords instead
>>582788654Not economy everywhere(like what a player would actually want)
>>582779636There's shitloads wrong with Smegmar but you bring up my personal peeve is they talk a lot about the realms, portals, and adventuring/army fight potential but 95% of shit takes place in the realms of fire and beasts and the other 5% takes place under Alarielles bare feet.
>>582788829Space Battles will be in 40k(but not at launch)
>>582788851Aislinn? At least other Asur are pretty relevant lords in Donut.Well maybe not ALEAF
>>582787410Reminder that Karl alone has the strength of will to dominate the COLD and ALOOF Imperial Dragon and so ride it into battle.
>>582788993Space battles in 40k will be Tyanids and Necrons landing on a conveniently placed asteroid to do a land battle when they fight in space.
>>582788890Yeah but that's simultaneously an issue with how cities are built in TWW and how they refuse to really make the AI any better.>>582788935It's a shame because the Khadaron Overlords would be cool in any other game. I would have also just nixed Cities of Sigmar or combined them with Stormcast Eternals entirely; since they refuse to build lore the Cities don't have anything interesting about them like ImpGuard. Also probably made the eternal reforging have some bad effects.But then again this is the game that actively tried to kill off Slaanesh because of marketing reasons. Something that they probably only brought back because the new market of trannies that they cater to is attached to them, for obvious reasons.
>Nagash short victory achieved>No interest at all in playing him furtherIt's like they sucked the soul out of playing every other undead faction.
>>582788435just so you know, its a mod that stops the camera from zooming across the entire map every time you open diplomacy or switch factions in the diplomacy screen.
>>582789242Maybe the solution would be to remove economy buildings altogether since ai doesnt give a flipping fuck about them why should players have to engage with it
>>582789318That happens to me with every single faction and lord
>>582789326Yes I know, I use the one that works.
>>582789387Agreed, or if they have to exist they should be one-size fits all for all basic economic functions. It also makes certain provinces basically worthless since most military buildings fully upgrade to tier IV or V so if your province doesn't have any capitols you can't build anything worthwhile there.
I thougth this would be too complicated, but its really notthe 50 sigil limit before jumping tier gives you so much leeway to pump it into whichever unit you'd like freely, and its really ez to get sigils back to respec, its a glorified skill tree but it's really cool, good job TCArn im just buffing my most fun to use unitslike archer ushabti love those tomb king animations so much
Im stuck at which rat or which empire to play
>>582789670Queek
>>582789404whatever, I'm going to use the one called "Disable Camera diplomacy focus [Updated 9.x]" even though the original version has been shadow updated a week ago without explanation from the creator.
>>582789715That's not the one I use so good luck with that.
>>582789615based fun enjoyermay your first 15 turns always go according to plan
>>582789670Either Boris or the coolest rat.
Mannlet deleted settra before I could even see him whats the point of this nagash campaign
>>582789670Thanquol
Necrarch > Von Carstein > Strigoi > Blood Dragon > Lahmia
Reminder that Karl Franz is canonically a recovering manwhore who probably fucked Emanuelle, and would totally fuck Katarin and Miao if his fuck wasn’t preoccupied by his childhood friend cousinwife.
>>582789774I bet I could guess the color of your skin. Its not white, I'll tell you that much.
>>582790181How's your mod working?
>>582790064Playing Neferata I rushed Lhamia to be thematically consistent, gave her 30 levels, opened up her skill tree and... no purple sun, no winds of death, no pit of shadesLiterally worthless.
>>582789810thanks ladnow my skelly archers havepoisonfiremagic and more rangethese skelly archers will fuck shit up idk how people say this faction ain't fun, it's the coolest one I've played in a while
>>582748453>What do you call successful?taking over the settlement?you can cheese it with skaven in various ways, gate abuse with range units for examplesiege targeting stacks, magic
>>582790064>>582790241Also the Necrarch buffs are tied to extra tech research speed, so there is no reason to spend your blood on anything else.
>play Empire>Kislev, Dwarfs and Bretonnia explode>play Kislev>Empire, Dwarfs and Bretonnia explode>play Dwarfs>Empire, Kislev and Bretonnia explodewhy does the world always go to shit? I haven't seen the order factions win in forever.
How long do you guys reckon it will take for the old world mod to get updated? They want to implement the end times scenario I assume
>>582790419Order factions are supposed to suck by and large.
How many children does Franzy boy have?
>>582790649Counting or not counting Shugengan?
>>582790419I'm pretty sure the game gives your potential allies the same nerfs that they do you until the only things around you are factions that you'd have to pay millions to in order to ally with them. It is kinda funny to sign a non-aggression pact with Nagash as Repanse, though.
>>582790649I think three that are officially recognized.
BLOODSUCKING CURSif vlad didn't get army loss'd I would've shit the bed in the 4th quarter>>582738049Play Gorbad den krump Skarsnik until he sez ur da boss
>>582790558damn the southlands are so fucking massive on that mod that playing nagash will take like 200 turns to leave them kektons of provinces for ur towers tho
>>582790829HOLY SIGMARFAITHSTEELGUNDPOWDERKINO
Why do people pretend lore of death is bad?
>>582790771Officially?>>582790696Sugar Pie Honey Bunch counts.
Did Kislev get an army block hero at some point? Last time I played it was a Benny Hill-esque chase after chaos savages.
>>582790829gj lad, carroburg boys did work
>>582790948it doesnt have dance macabre or a heal on it
>>582790724That's dumb and I hate it.
>>582790950Yeah, officially. Apparently it took him a whole bunch of years to actually recognize those three too, even though everyone knew they were his and he did take care of them. Some aristocratic politicking bs where it wasn't convenient. Apart from that and as the other anon said, Karl is a player so he's probably got more bastards around that have no shot at being recognized.
>>582791001no, your ice witches give you 20% movement instead or you just play ostankya
>>582782203Just kill a bunch of rogue armies around the world, it tells you where they all are. what I did was hire a vampirate lord with the "smuggler" trait which negates trespassing penalties and loaded him up with good units and heroes and sent him on a globetrotting expedition for the far off tomes then when he's got em all I'll just bring him home and dispense them among my mortarchs. Its nice that you can set spells from them for Nagash without physically having nagash hold them
>>582790948It has very good spells but the buffs are kinda mid or don't really work with a lot of factions.And debuffs just aren't worth using a lot of the time.Spirit Leech and Purple Sun are amazing though. Very much on Elspeth and other who can lower the cost otherwise both are pretty pricey spells
>>582790241>no purple sun, no winds of death, no pit of shades>Literally worthlessSHITTER DETECTED
Anyone else not need to fight settra as nagash? I went after the ogres and the non repanse brettonnia faction and skarbrand destroyed settras faction before I could even declare war. VH difficulty
>>582791151This is cheaper than them actually developing an AI system for the campaign and most players just want to roflstomp an easy enemy in campaign or they want 10 gajillion battles (even though most of them end up being ambushes).
>30% chance to assassinateHow do you actually use campaign agents? Do you have feed them xp in battles until they stop being so useless?
>>582791580You don't. Campaign agents are for the AI to use, not you.
>>582791580They also gain XP when parked in provinces to provide bonuses, I think.
>>582502742*Ahem*No you.
>>582791580Just have them botch their first few attempts, and hope they don't manage to commit suicide while at it.
>>582791580very carefully
>>582791580Settlement farming. Get the action chance + cost skill first. Then get wound/assassinate skill. Chance to kill will also go up with level.>You now remember when agents could kill Lords.
Coven throne needing a higher level than the zombie dragon is just silly. The dragon is so much better 99% of the time.
>>582791580they do gain chance to succeed based on their level vs the level of their target but you typically need to stack chance bonuses to get most heroes over 50%, some factions do this very wellthe heroes do gain a lot of exp for doing their actions, it is more about even having capacity to have an extra one running around in the first place
>>582791580I don't use them
I wish the chaos wastes were more focused on chaos factions fighting each other until Archaon unites them.
>>582790948>undeadWhy use lore of death when you can use the lore of wind of death?>chaosdoesn't really need to kill with magic but even so has better options than lore of death like nurgle (has healing), tzeentch (combos better with tzeentch armies due to fire damage), or metal>elvesmite b gud >empireactually pretty good
Uh oh.
>>582792134Most of the time the agents that are best at assassinating aren't that good in battle anyway.Witch Hunters and Dookii Assassins in particular.
>>582792673nigga wtf is that stack on turn 30very hard?

Is it true that Tamurkhan and Valkias AI is straight up broken
??????????????????????The other 3 lords are visible ingame.
>>582792945It has been a while was the balance between buff/debuff spells and damage more even in warhams 1.I remember magic being a lot weaker back then.
>>582793341kek, hes WoC, anon
>>582792687>Dookii AssassinsThey're cool.I like using them with groups of shades or black ark corsairs handbows.
>>582793356>Magic being weakerVampires was OP back then, but the rest was weaker.Some Lores got buffed in TWW2, but then almost all damage spells got nerfed in TWW3.
Should I be giving my books to other lords? Right now I'm hording 6 of them on Nagash,
>>582793158Festus seemed to do nothing in my boris campaign as well after i killed him initially
Thinking of trying an Aislinn campaign with all three end times events ready to roll.My objective is to keep the Helves alive at all costs and then extend a hand to other Order factions if possible.Will this be cock and ball torture (fun) or just shit?Never played the d00d
>>582793576Still a weard choise that. When the good doctor is already in for WoC nurgle representation.
>>582793576REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>582793676Well, flavor-wise Aislinn would never extend a hand to any other Order factions but High Elves, but yeah, it'll probably be fun cbt. Don't turn on the skaven event though, it's bugged and I'm pretty sure they still haven't fixed it.
>>582791978>>You now remember when agents could kill Lords.>play karl>skarsnik spawns right next to you>reikland completely filled with goblin big bosses>any attempt to get heroes was thwarted by 5 assassination attempts per turn>any attempt at raising a new lord was thwarted by 5 assassination attempts per turngood times>>582792687Witch hunters are meant to plink at enemy characters from afar. This would be pretty useful for the Empire who aren't that good at character assassination aside from Hochland long rifles. Unfortunately, that's not too useful, because foot melee characters dive into your front lines where the witch hunter's LoS is blocked, foot magic characters stay behind enemy lines beyond the witch hunter's range, and mounted characters are too speedy for the witch hunter to hit reliably. This means the witch hunter can really only do good against giant SEMs that he can always shoot at and can't miss.
PYHRRICVICTORY
>>582793661Oh yeah, I also heard that taking out a WoC lord/LL fucks with their AI ATM
>>582794031True, though I imagine just taking care of threats that threaten the seas would in turn help out Order.I won't disembark on land unless absolutely required to by quests/Kill Fag questsWhat's the bug and how bad is it?

>>582794614Are Cathay peasants good on tabletop?
>>582794190imagine how psychologically scarred those men would be in real life after fighting man sized rats
>>582794495I WANT CHAOS AND TAU NOW!
>>582794638Nagash End game is a test of how well spread out you are.If you're decently spread out you can murder at least half of the mortarchs in the ten turns you have before shit hits the fan.If you're not spread out, you'll get cucked unless your army is good enough to kill him as soon as the TELEPORT TO QUEST BATTLE opens up.
>>582794184I still remember when accusation did damage.
I love fighting Skaven crapstacks! Can't wait to fight the other 5 armies in the conga line.
>>582794495they were talking about selectable traits and customized faction leaderwe Age of Wonders now

>>582795127I used the console mod to delete skaven after dealing with them for 30 turns in my last campaign.Next campaign I'll fight them again.
>>582795164That one was actually pretty valid reason for MPfags screaming
>>582795008Remember uncapped Nehek
>>582795191I had the same issue, though for me Mannfred worked, but Kemmler was bugged.I suspect it's because Mannfred was still alive, but Kemmler was dead.
>>582795204>i cheesedGross
>>582795219you didn't beat the game

You'll have no Sigmarite Waffle from me, hah!
>>582794576Empire is supposed to be OP
>>582795138Sick, having a point buy system like tabletop was more or less what I was hoping for. Let me customize my own spess muhreen chapter with their own specialization and shit.
>>582795008I completely forgot that Witch Hunters were the Depth Guard before the Depth Guard were the Depth Guard
not using a thing in the game counts as being a faggotyou can call anything cheesewhat i did was in the gameyou are a pigslut tryharding faggot and you will be hanged
>>582795220MPfags screaming was a valid reason to keep it.
>>582794576the gundam is the strongest ranged hero in the game.

>>582794576Eh dorf engineer is pretty good too.>>582795597Yes.NEVER FORGET ANCIENT SALAMANDERS
update whenI want to play the game and see new invasions alreadyplease...
I will make combat bomb build Gunnery Wight work
>>582795127Nobody cares about your redtard faction. I mean you should just end your life.Get back to /twg/ when you have grown up.
>>582796090What about /wfg/?
Thanquol'a narrative thing is kind of cool if not simple and would be a much better way to get the mortrarch's as nagash than the assinine shit cooked up by the guy with a hateboner for confederations. I don't even need to confederate the mortrarchs. Just give me the lord and let their land go the vampire remnant faction.
>>582795921This looks bonkers, how is it?
I don't think I have had a single campaign where Thorgrim or even Ungrim manage to survive long.
>>582795492Because Boris will eat them all by himself in a depressed gluttony spree
damn this is pretty nice

>>582796752The only playable Lizardman in smallest old world map too.>>582796860Thorgrim didn't manage it even prepatch but at least Ungrim did. Now even he's fucked
>>582796906Oh I've never played them. I wish I had that item for factions I play. My reliability goes down a lot.
>>582796502Too big unironically. Causes both gameplay and performance issues.However, "Old World Classic" submod is great. It cuts off a chunk of the map, focusing mostly on the Empire.
>>582797053This.It's pretty much just warhammer 1 Map but bigger in terms of settlements
>>582786801Cathay LITERALLY got offscreened by Grimgor LMAO
>>582796724>What are the Straight lines going through Darklands?As the guy said, Chorf Railways.There are a few spots on the map with massive rivers/special-terrain that allows traveling swiftly through areas that normally are more restrictive/slow, though some of them are a bit of 'express lanes' where there's no convenient place to stop moving before you get to the end.
>>582796502I don't play IE anymore due to itkinda sucks since I'd like to play as High/Dark Elves too. I hope he will make The New World mod eventually
>>582797394I miss the Vortex map.
Knights Panther are such a wonderful addition to the Empire Roster. Having quick response to flying monsters and flanking cav that's more than a tarpit is a godsend. Love them.
>>582796502If your PC isn't high end it runs hella slow, but it's a great map. Makes the IE map unplayable in comparison, because the IE map is so shit.>>582797394I'd be curious how many factions he could put into a New World Campaign.
>>582797608I like W2 and 3 OG campaign maps but by Ulric did those mechanics suck. At least in W2 you could ignore the map mechanics somewhat or entirely as a DLC race.
>>582795921Adding the chaos realms is a nice touch. Do they effect gameplay much?
>>582798181The way they work is each of them has 1 or two entrances to the mortal lands.They are then floating islands of hellscape where you can get bonuses from the gods by killing other factions who have invaded their chaos realm (but not killing their local faction).However each chaos realm also has portals to connect to two other chaos realms.As a result, it is theoretically possible (though the AI doesn't do this from what I've seen) to conquer the chaos realms and then use them to 'fast travel' to the different corners of the world.
Are buff wizards better for the Empire now that they can have a solid frontline?
>>582798548>Empire now that they can have a solid frontline?lol

>Archaon invasion on Normal, turn 100>30 turns in, the AI has defeated exactly one stack to my 16Part of the problem is the stacks seem to deathball in groups of 3+ and defeating more than 1 at a time is impossible for the AI.
