BE CHIVALROUS!
>>582983270What do Minor Faction Potential and AI Strategy & Threat Assessment actually do.And is it even possible to play Repanse without cheating right now?
>>582983419MFP makes it so that the autoresolve chance between AIs isn't tipped in the favour of LLs when it's LL vs MF
I accidentally deleted a Couronne calpain that going VERY well and I want to fucking kms
what ive learned so far from playing vlad is flying units and fast units are broken
>>582983493Is that it? So it just makes you fight your first few battles?
>made the hilarious mistake of assuming Glotkin weren't insanely powerful>engage him with Empire army after he invades Nordland>Glotkin doesn't seem to be taking any damage>alright whatever>kill all of his units, just him and some heroes>Net of Amantok him, watch the entire blackpowder stock of the entire Empire unload on him at once>between his resistances and regeneration he is taking literally 0 damage>giga buffed Franz goes in and gets bodied in like 15 seconds>entire army routs in short order to this fat retardGuess I'll try again with a Bright Wizard?
>>582983742No, it makes it so that minor factions are harder for AI LLs to defeat and so you'll get weird shit like the purple Dawi niggas conquering Estalia
>>582983419the ai strategy and threat assessment means that the ai now "strategically" keeps its armies in one areait will also declare war on the player less if you are not a higher threat or are not the top threat and seems to cap how much influence being at -standing with them effects their decision to declare war on you.
FOLLOW ME MY COMRADES
was thinking here, if total war shogun 2 remastered will be the best total war from the old ages, when cities build units instead of commanders, then all big modders from medieval 2 should move their games to it
>>582983871Would you say it's a good setting to have on along with AI threat assessment or what?
Skaven rework never ever, friends!
What are you hoping the skaven rework brings?Note that it's basically confirmed they're working on one, they just didn't have time to finish it for the ET dlc
>>582984737It depends on whether or not you want your campaign to be +10% easier or not. LL AI factions are generally better than minor factions so if you want to go up against them more on average then you should not toggle it on
>>582985195Probably just better undercities
>>582984057somehow this became slightly relevant
>>582984790Thank god.
>>582984057The least you could do is link the mod you fucking asshole. Our dicks are waiting.
Asking again, I'm a newfag in need of suggestion. Where should I make the first Neferata vampire coven? I'm only on turn 10 and want to restart.
>>582986361Stop being a pathetic whiny pussy and just fucking make one, man. Fuck u think is gonna happen, your puter explodes if it isn't the mathematically perfect spot? Doesn't fucking matter where it goes, make it.
>>582986361Wait for the first handmaiden's trait to research then put it in the chorf capital
>>582983852they really needed to one up tamurkhan in retarded nurgle lords
>>582986361you should make it here*unzips*
>>582983114I can fix her
>>582986778He is nowhere near Tamurkhan in power. I have played the fat fuck and in comparison he is laughing stock at best. Tamurkham shits all over glottkin.
The fuck is this game on about? Why is franz twice my level? Why is autoresolve making me lose one unit??
>>582987135Because you are bad.
>>582878032I would think one unit which is 1/3rd the price of this thing should not be able to outright beat it
>>582987216That's how it should work and they should lean harder into unit counters.
>>582987135AI gets massive level bonuses
>>582986993i dont think tamurkhan is that bad after they nerfed pandemicium at least when the ai is piloting himglottkin in a random ass end crisis army made archaon look like a jobber in comparison
>>582986651I fucking hate you and I hope you die
>>582987360What are you talking about. Tamurkhan is the same thing as Skarbrand, he kills while charging. His abilities are all of no concern. He is unkillable and murders 5 units in one charge. The glottkin can't do that.
>>582987471BASE BASED BASED
>>582987135Play your battles
>>582987471That's not very nice, anon. One of my family members is being buried today. Also, play Grand Cathay. And get the YinYin mod.
it is thursday my dude
>>582987871
what one is the best?
Bruh..I spent 4min on a massive flank and they just fucking run to my spawn?
Are we playing Cathays game?
>>582987751Quit posting these ugly fucking chinky doll golems
>>582988503Ugly? Anon how gay are you? Are you frequently gooning to marauder horsemen?
What's your favorite vampire bloodline?
>>582988253Revered by a mile. Honestly just get the cheat that lets you pick the name you want, there are a huge number of complete duds.
>>582987751you should jump into the grave with him you nonce
>>582988267>playing the deceivers>get trickedLOL
>>582988916No.
So did any faction get a short victory reward that is actually worth it to beeline?
I hate that these remasters are such a mixed bag, the UI and look of Rome was dogshit so I'm still just playing the original instead.With the new Shogun 2 the new camera, unit controls, minor faction unlocker and the ability to tweak realm divide has me considering it.But they just took the entire art style out back and shot it for no reason, why does it always have to be like this? It looks terrible.Just give me the qol updates without making some Malaysians mess up the game's look for no reason ffs
>yeah we fixed factions cumstacking next to their settlements
>>582990613>besieging someone while building towers>a different faction comes in and butts right up to me hindering me from leavingThis stacking programming sucks.
>>582990613>Free moneyWhat's the issue?Just AR it lol XD
>>582984057Where is her eye of sheerian
>>582991843
>>582991913I literally look like this
u wot m8
>Vermintide endgame>All Skaven factions suddenly drop dead>Goldrush for their now empty property>A few stacks of Skaven Armies filled with tier 1 units, way weaker than the armies that suddenly dropped dead spawn>AI mops them up easily>Everyone suddenly becomes friends and we achieve world peace>Humans and vampires and chaos worshippers joining hands in a peaceful multi-cultural society while Skaven suck up all our money in welfare????????
>>582987471Anon just destroyed anon with FACTS and LOGIC
sexo
>>582993473>She has a cockHot!
I'LL HAVE THIS WORLD
>>582992337ratfags are supposed to suck
>>582988801Lahmians and not just because they're the hot chick vamps. Increased spell mastery, perfect vigor and increased lahmian unit cap are all pure juice.
>has vision with all trade partnersI have had to abandon my Yuan Bo game because it's so laggy at end of turn
>>582993473I could beat her up
>>582991843It split and now resides on her nipples.Trust me I know.T.Knower
I want to split my army into two large groups of infantry and ranged units that can fire over them, both groups able to stand their ground against most things.Then in the middle i want to have a group of assraping units that get their main damage from charging.What faction let's me do this consistently, and will a particular lord let me assrape even harder like this?
>>582994940Silly Anon
>>582995186Chorfs.
>>582995271It's already off and it's not the army movements I find slow. With too many armies visible on the map the entire UI lags.
>>582995271the fuck are lodst. CA
>>582995415Ah I see. My bad
>>582995186The very best chargers in the game are mostly in factions that barely have ranged, like slaanesh and khorne. Kislev horse cavalry is pretty good against lightly armored stuff, and the bears are good against everything.
>>582995362Can I ignore their caravan mechanic or will that gimp me too much?>>582995585Yeah I guess I'm asking for a very unbalanced faction, maybe not assrape, just an annoyance to keep my units from getting raped? Routing, displacing the units?
>>582994735Why can't men be Lahmians
>>582995891same reason women cant be blood dragons
>>582995891Neffy is unironically a radical feminist.
>>582995891The lahmian who turned Ulrika was a man.Famously Ulrika's vampiric "grandmother" is a forever loli who, unlike other Lahmians, prefers men, and is responsible for most of the male lahmians.Don't think too hard about it.
>>582995848idk I've never played them. You can probably ignore it.
>>582995952Why can't women be blood dragons
>>582996279No girls allowed in Blood Keep.
>>582996152Fuck, I meant Genevieve, not Ulrika.I'm going to bed.
>>582996279Walach has a strict no /ss/ rule.You can't expect a bunch of monastic knights not to have young boys around, so women had to be banned instead.
WE ARE CHARLIE NAGASH
>>582996326>>582996727You could've just said that only the strongest human mortal fighters may become blood knights and obviously no women are capable of that.
Did you guys get the new chaos invasion yet?How did you like it? Any bugs?
>>582997004That would go under no girls allowed, no?
>>582997004>and obviously no women are capable of that.https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Valkia_the_Bloody
James Workshop is a hack writer that leans on tired tropes to form faction identity.
>>582997137I've got invincible Glotkin invading through Nordland, Slaaneshi childfuckers pouring through Erengrad, Beastmen popping up all over Middenland and Archaon's hordes are tearing ass through Kislev
210 MB update
>>582997137it was alright, more interesting than the old stuff. yes, needed this fix: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3809625124
>turn into the End Times as Archaon>Nagash End Time event starts >Suddenly get a diplomacy bonus with all non-undead factions >Everyone is suddenly my friend and want to form treaties with me>The whole world is now united with Chaos against the Undead.
>>582997601I ran into that bug too. Had to always raze a settlement before I could occupy it.Also there were at least five chaos armies just idling north of cathays gates for thirty turns.They only started razing the gates when I (Clan Angrund) walked into cathay.
>>582998018>Had to always raze a settlement before I could occupy it.that didn't even work for me. I used the console commands mod before this fix one.
>>582997004There are loads of powerful Chaos women, bruv.And some women who while never getting the Grail Blessing do succeed as Knights otherwise.
>>5829974209.0.2
You can confederate Imperial Wardens on the first turn as Miao Ying, and Vilitch can be eliminated on turn 2.
>>582998000The fact they tried to make Warhammer into Horde v Alliance v Scourge was so fucking stupid.

>>582998454das right
>>582998160https://litter.catbox.moe/y1jggoo2ox97dggk.webm
>>582998454Against that trash, probably
>>582998454Why does it say you deployed 17 units in the non garrison army?
>The only way to play this campaign is to literally destroy all your shitIs there a gayer campaign in the entire franchise than WRE in Attila?
>>582998702Coven throne has a crew
>>582998454Have you ever played as vampires before? They're all kinda unkillable.
>>582988801I love my Necrarchs.
It took me nearly 3 hours but I finally did it. I gave Thanquol an ability to summon Skarbrand.The ability text is lying tho.. it still says bloodletter cause I copied some stuff.
So, Ghoul King and Red Duke LLs for their respective Bloodlines. What about Necrarch brothers?
>>582998921>Have you ever played as vampires beforeNot really. I kinda hated them before the rework.
>>582999080make it 50/50 that it explodes and goes rouge on you
And it actually works, it summons Skarbrand.I just wish I could somehow change his stats.>>582999156I gave it 100% miscast base chance but I didn't check if it actually miscast and deat damage to thanquol
>>582994735Spell mastery is wasted on Lahmians with their trash spell list.
>>582999227perma rage so you can't control him... cmon man...
>>582999271I dunno how.. I'm not a modder, I just reverse engineered the gate of khorne. And there is an issue with rage.. units are like leashed. They just stand in place and don't do shit if there is no enemy within 100m or so. He might just go standing afk.
>>582995891They can, Neferata just tends to tell them to fuck off so you'll rarely see them in organized lahmian forces.
>>582986361If you aren’t gonna take it over, you should definitely put it in Zhar-Naggrund. If you syphon the income you can get nearly 2k from the start of the game, though you’ll need to pay 500 in maintenance to deny the occultation loss from armies in the region.
Well.. I guess I know how to. I could make a new skarbrand entry, copy everything about him, then give him rampage.. but that would take me another 3 hours cause I have to figure out what to copy and where his data is. I'm not doing that.I wanna play vidya.
>>582988801Necrarchs, and it's not even close.
>>582998415Unplayable
Dont let HR hear this but....NAGASH WAS WEAK WITNESS TRUE POWER
>>583001089Nagash was PEAK!
Nagash was woke and broke
>>582995186Shopping list:>2 Tsar guard for elite melee and support>4 Kislevite warriors for charge defense>4 Ice Guard for slowing arrows, spears or blades depending on the situation.>4 Akshina ambushers or Strelzhi for actual DPS>3 Gryphon Legion to run over the infantry that the spears can’t deal with >1 Patriarch for buffs>1 Ungol Witch (I like the hag lore because I find the speed debuff to be very useful when trying to get some extra volleys, but you go pick your favorite lore)>1 Ice witch for more speed debuffsIf you want more melee or cavalry just take out two Ice Guards for some armored kossars or more cavalry in which case you can get bears for anti large elite cavalry.
we saw that anon... :3
>its gachanigger episode
>>583001346kys gacha faggot
>>583001089Looking at the new vampiric waifus makes me think that Neferata was indeed right.
Thinking about doing a Kislev run but the only LL where it feels loreful to use the whole roster is ol' stinky, everyone else feels like they would have some hangups about using mages and/or chaos beasts.
>>582998990>>583000367MY EXPERIMENTS!
>>582988801NecrarchsBy buffing them you also get extra research speed, there is literally no reason to not spam them
How come AI Queek always dominates my campaign?
>Removed some diplomacy lines used by Mannfred when approached by Nagash which were not lore-appropriate.I take it he will no longer be calling Nagash a mortal.
Lahmian handmaidens have an outrageously sexy voice on the campaign map
>>582988801strigoi are the coolest vampires, also ugly bastard of vampire world so lahmians cannot resist big strigoi cock
It's PRC day. Why aren't you playing Three Kingdoms.
>>582988801I like Strigoi and Necrach because I love bat monster vampires
>>583001845The seagulls are EATING the CREW!
>>583002139I've been wondering that myself.My last two campaigns, Thanquol wiped out the dwarfs, and then got killed by Drycha while Queek took over.
>>583002139He's just that good and hot
>>582988801I like the classic von Carstein. You get a lord that’s a great wizard and a great warrior, they’re rock solid.
>>583002139No idea but it's very consistent. In my Neferata campaign I set up the coven in his capital province and he became the best ally, taking down Thogrim's territory almost singlehandedly.
>>583002582You say that as if Blood Dragons or Lahmians were any different.
>>583002691I get why, but it's very funny to me that you can set up covens with any faction. So there's Lahmians who have to deal with stinky skaven and grumpy chaos dwarfs rather than enjoying the luxuries of human or elven courts.
>>583001827Kislev is thematically the worst faction in the game. It’s so bad, it’s so terrible, I hate it. They should delete everything and try again.
>every dlc is mixed
>>583002846Blood Dragons and Lahmians are terrible wizards compared to VC, are you kidding me?
Arbaal is peak fun and its yet to be surpassed.
>fight Throt>AI Brood Horrors just charge right through two lines of braced spearmen to start attacking my Wizard>if i make my ranks thicker then the dogs just slip through cracks to strike my ranged unitsThis shit is so annoying.
>>583002885>Lahmian handmaiden using glamors to look like the femrat postsOh dear god, when will we see a mod that makes it so when you use the 'make a new handmaiden' building in your covens the race of the handmaiden changes with the faction?>Skaven Lahmian>Ogre Lahmian>Black Orc Lahmian
>>582996279>>582995952they can be, but women generally dont have the correct levels of autism to be a blood dragon, one has to be a very good and disciplined fighter to impress a blood dragon, so its rare when a blood dragon gives the blood kiss to someone that isnt that
>>583003228anon there are no female orcs they have no sex
I just want a mod that makes it so instead of riding a zombie dragon, the vampire lord gets buffed appropriately.
>Replaced the Expendable attribute for Zombie units in the Black Pyramid with bonus mass and immune to flanking.Is this a nerf or was expendable redundant on zombies?
>>583003296I'm thinking more like bloodbowl cheerleaders here.
>>583003491expendable is redundant on undead
>>583003072I dislike a lot about how Archaon works now but confedding him and turning him into a woc is cool.
>>583003072Seems like the only remotely fun part of his campaign is the teleporting
>>583003491RedundantYou would just keep healing them, if one crumbled it would not cause a mass crumble anyway, it would take half your army to crumble for it to matter.
>>583003552>some poor git got his tits stretched for this
>>583003491Immune to flanking is redundant on infantry. Immune to flanking only takes effect when the entity model is attacked from side or rear. For infantry, the unit can be flanked but individual entities in the unit rarely get flanked.
>>583003072Arbaal the defeated lol>>583003270That makes sense if most Blood Dragons are Imperial/Bretonnian knights
>>583003824>That makes sense if most Blood Dragons are Imperial/Bretonnian knightsMost are.The original Blood Dragons were a bunch of really highly decorated imperial knights iirc.The most famous Blood Dragons are all highly decorated former knights of good factions.
>>583003919Sounds cool. Imagine a strong demi-gryph knight turning into a blood knight while raising the demi-gryph back as his eternal undead steed.
I watched the new venris video glazing the Nagash tech tree saying it's a total revolution for TW. I know that Pharaoh wasn't very popular but the tech tree from it is identical to the Nagash one in function and has the same branching specializations. Only difference Nagash starts with one starting choice on the bottom and Pharaoh one started with 3 at the top.
playing as sigvald and the gifts of slaanesh arent adding units to my pool, tnx CA
>>583004382Sigvald blocks ugly units from his roster. Not a bug.
>>583002914I blame GW
>>583002914It's funny how they changed a faction most known for it's heavy shock cavalry and light horse archers into ice bears and girlbosses.
>>583002914Boris should've been the base LL desu senpai
I challenge you to name one unit more soulful than the Corpse Cart. They have so much heart.

>Noctilus is burning down the entirety of brettonia currently with 5 full stacks at turn 30What the fuck I have never seen this
>>583005357I had something similar, Morathi and N'kari completely wiped out Ulthuan and started attacking Nocti, so he fled to bretonnia.
>>583005310>The occasional war bearThere was only one bear in the entire Kislev roster and it was the pet of Boris. Kislev didn't use bears for war. They were their sacred totemic animal.
>>583005441They could bring up to one (0-1) circus bear to battle in mordheim, so if I don't acknowledge the occasional bear, someone will be upset about that. Probably me since I doubt anyone else where cares about Mordheim.
>>583005310Isn't Warhams 3 Kislev mostly based on some army book for the Old World that still hasn't been released to the public due to the Russians going ape?No wonder it's such a mess
>>583005310That Med2 mod has honestly a perfect Kyislev roster
>>583005310It's a shame blood dragons don't have dragons as mounts, I mean it's their life goal to kill one so...>kislevDon't forget the bolshevik secret police
By Our Blood is also a terrible mechanic.
>>583005761how so? it's strong
>>583005551Pretty much.Unironically if the US kept Obama's stance on Ukraine, Kislev would probably be in a far better place right now.>>583005603I only played Shogun 2 and Total Warhammer, what's that roster like?>>583005639It does kind of make the whole "Abhorash solo killed and drained the blood of a dragon" less impressive when every fucking vampire lord apparently has one in their back-pocket, though I suppose the explanation is just raiding dragon graveyards.
>>583005639Dragons in Fantasy lore are strange because it's said they are more intelligent than even elves and know all winds of magic but this isn't reflected in the tabletop at all. And if that's true a vampire would never had a chance of killing a dragon who can just blast him with lore of light or life and burn out his life essence on the spot from a kilometer in the air.
Reminder
>>583005902I think even WFRP says some dragons are hyper intelligent masterminds while others are barely sentient beasts.How do you know the difference? Who fucking knows, it's up to the GM because the lore is a mess.
>>583005858Fighting them is always a tedious slog. Every last peasant being Unbreakable is ridiculous.
>>583006190skill issue
>>583006190lol it's no different from DElf, Greenskin or TK mechanics.
>>583006190Just play vampire counts.When every early game battle is a slog, none of them are slogs.

>>583006418DElf>Units kill harder temporarilyGreenskin>Units kill harder temporarily, multiple times in a fightTK>Units heal a little bit if you don't just wipe them out instantlyKislev>Units that are losing now insist on prolonging the fight
>>583006621Let's not forget that the Delf, Greenskin and TK mechanics proc for the entire army at once, while every single unit of Kyivslev peasants gets their own period of being unbreakable.
SLOPlev
>>583005884>>583005639zombie dragons are generally not killed and then risen, but naturally formed undead monsters that are then bound
>>583006941stop replying to yourself you’re just badit’s ok
>>583007084meds
Murderous Prowess is also a terrible mechanic.
>Told myself i'd play nagash>Played 3 thanquol campaigns and ikit so far
Playing a wood elf campaign after the new patch. Argwylon gets me involved in a war with Belegar. Fair enough, that's fine. Belegar sends 5 armies north, so I send the Sisters of Twilight to intercept 3 armies and destroy them. Pretty difficult battle but I win. One of his armies hops over the mountains and burns King's Glade to the ground. I move the Sisters back west and they run away to the north and burn Torgovann to the ground, they're rushing east while I chase them to Wydrioth. The fact that I can't hire an emergency army anymore is bullshit. I can't predict every move the enemy makes and the AI knows exactly where to attack. What the fuck do they expect us to do? Sit in Athel Loren forever waiting for 4 stacks to attack all at once? This is bullshit.
>>583005357all vamp coasts went bananas on my last run
>>583007442It’s the opposite, being able to hire emergency armies was bullshit. They did the right thing removing it. Adjust to life without your instant recruit crutches. It’s ok to lower the difficulty if the game is too hard for you now. I’m not being mean or insulting you, I truly mean that.

>>583007353I have literally never cared about it, either playing as DE or against them. It's just kind of there, you don't ever play around it or do anything with or interact differently because of it. So yes, definitely a useless mechanic.
>>583008351In old lore it was said that the church of ursun was uncomfortable with Katarin giving so much power to the ice court, when traditionally (and even as her father did it) the church of ursun had a lot of say in how things are handled.There were three other major gods in kislev that had worship to varying degrees.One of those gods, Dazh, was also incredibly popular, but lacked the political support needed to supplant the followers of Ursun.The leader of the church of Dazh was also a paranoid fucker who refused to set up proper succession lines to avoid being assassinated.Katarin was grooming a young priest of Dazh so that when the time came, she could replace the paranoid geezer with the young priest, and then a church of Dazh who owes her a favor could supplant the church of Ursun.
>>582998415>>582998252GW probably disliked them
what are those weird blurry visuals that surrounds my units in battle?
>>583008910pooo particles
Thanquols so broken man... Stealplan gives you like 20k every 3 turns... probably way more if you wait until they get fat instead of REDEEEMING early like i do...
>>583009047i see, i thought it was their aura.how do i get rid of it?
>>583008910Ambient Occlusion and Sharpening should be in the "OFF" position
>>583008814as much as I like the idea of 40k I shudder to imagine what we'll be dealing with
>>583009268>Hyenas-brained CA comes back to manage CAbros... ggwp...
>>583009336I'm talking about GW, CA is whatever and you'll have to deal with them even in historical games
>>583005551Actually, no. GW made an unreleased army book for Cathay for CA to use. All they gave CA for kislev was concept art and notes and the direction to move away from ungol / gospodar stuff.
This is my tier list and I'm dying on this hill. Played every single one of them too.
>>583009396Can't be that bad desu. TW40k will practically be their live service narrative to couple with their minitures narrative with it's theatre style campaignWhich is shit for CA because they'll be on a tighter leash which means nothing like Cathay can happen in 40k
>>583009214You can't.Seriously.
>>583009724I'd put 2 above 3.3 is too messy, overcrowded and generally worse as a game.Remember, kids: more CONTENT doesn't mean better.
>>583009724sorry but pharaoh dynasties C tier absolutely outs you as a fraud
>>583009724>Attila in ABasedSo fucking based
>>5830100513 added a lot of qol that makes coming back to wh2 or wh1 a real pain.
>>583009724SSS TIER: Pic rel
>>583007731While emergency RoR stacks were fucking gay, removing them without making garrisons better and removing the AI's tendency to head straight for an undefended settlement it has no vision of was completely fucking retarded.
>>583010051Fair point anon>>583010107Problem with the Bronze Age is that it fucking sucks in terms of variety. Some of the mechanics were really cool and it's essentially a more refined Troy so it could go up a tier, definitely not Rome 2 tier, but it's lacking in overall content and subsequent playthroughs are just boring. >>583010116Attila is far more strategic and engaging than Rome 2 (and I say this as a Romaboo) but the main problem is that 90% of your battles are just garrison forces fighting off hordes and it's the same exact tactics - hold the line with spearmen in town square, whistling arrows and cav rush from behind. Otherwise it would be S tier.
>>583010553you're letting your dislike of the bronze age influence you too much, it's by all accounts an A tier game.
>>583005902Well Abhorash managed to kill one in single combat.
>>583010192>a lot of qolYou mean quick deal button? Sure, I'd miss that, but that's literally the only thing lmao.
>Absolutely love Nagashs' faction mechanics>Feel that Nagash himself is way too opI'm considering benching him next time and just playing with generic lords and mortarchs. Maybe I'll keep Nagash in the Black Pyramid for defense.
>>5830100512's graphics, general gameplay, sieges, presentation and style were and still are superior in many ways. I wish I could have the option to have 3's map, factions, qol and some of the unit buffs in 2 but it's hard to go back now without all that new stuff.One thing I'll never get over is how bad 3 looks, both it's choice of style and the actual graphical fidelity with which it tries to deliver on that premise
>>583009724Try playing Med2 without mods before putting it anywhere above B tier.
Isn't it amusing how with each new faction basically the entire game gets harder? Most of the legendary lords are now surrounded by other legendary lords.
>>582998990>>583000367>>583001916>>583002413>Boosting the bloodline augments the capacity for specters>Skill line boosts Grave Guard Huh??????
>>583009792>which means nothing like Cathay can happen in 40kCathay only happened due to tabletop as well
>>583011073It's not really amusing, no. It makes the world feel smaller.
>>583010735I don't dislike the Bronze Age, I just think it's severely limited in terms of unit and faction variety. There's essentially 5 different personalities diluted into a bunch of subfactions no one really cares about and just raw infantry spam with some chariots here and there. It would have been fine as a DLC to Rome 2 or Attila or even packaged together with Troy since they both more or less start around the same time but it doesn't deserve its own standalone game. And it takes so incredibly long to paint the map, it's just not worth it and not fun. They are super anal about how they want you to play. That being said there are a lot of nice new mechanics like lethality and there's weight behind units now, it deserves B tier just for that alone.
Wdym "files deleted" ? Did i missed some W goon ?
>>583001916You just get handed a lump sum of research points, it doesn't effect the research rate. And VC research is so rapid anyway that you don't really need it.
>>583011073I get why some people don't like how cluttered the map is with LLs but after trying what it was like to ajdust for stronger minors and trying the Old World map I'm kinda fine with it now.Beating on some no name minor is pretty much the same as beating on most LLs except it's less interesting, I think the addition of all the LLs just more obviously exposes how small the map is which is the real problem
>>583010921I'm literally replaying Med2 (specifically M2EX) right now and apart from a few QoL changes in the later TW games, the game is super satisfying and strategic. AI is overall more engaging too. I have a feeling Med3 will be a Rome2 reskin built for the lowest common denominator and some faggy ass heroes thrown in for the Warhammerfags and zoomers.
>>583011106lmao I had the same reaction.I can only guess the intended build for a necrarch lord is grave guard frontline with mortis engines mixed in and then hexwraiths as flank forces.
AAAA these hotfixes keep breaking this modneed to download new versions every 2-3 days lol
>>583002364>We wuz Sigmar and shit
>>583010824The full dark lord run while Arkhan does all the work.
>>583011846Nah the intended build for Necrarch is whatever you want and then watch him solo shit with his summon and spells.
>>583012030how do i achieve strigoi mode
>>583012037Exactly! It sounds cool, right?
>Neferata sounds like a Wight King>Read it's a bug with a mod>Disable mod>Neferata still sounds like a Wight King???
Nagass haha
>>583012460niggash lamo
>>583010824That's like not using Archaon as WoC
>>583013041Funnily enough right now Archaon is best off sitting on his ass with a stack of chosen in case a defeated lord comes to challenge him with a doom stack.
>start a new campaign with the same lord and do the thing before the enemy lord can and kill him>instead another lord declares war and rapes me as i play cat and mouseYou're not meant to have fun in this game, are you? It's a matter of being a masochist?
I don't want war with this asshole dude just stay in your southern chaos wastes and leave the southlands to the skellies bastard
>vlad is strength rank 1 at turn 13>already declares war on me that turn and takes grunburg at level 18lmao what the fuck happened to this game. wh2 was so much better desu. this is just unbalanced whacky dogshit

if i play ikit can i get a verminlord lord?cant find his recruitment anywhere
>>583013954very refined taste anon
normally prefer gunpowder but gotta love ushabtialso as it stands rn, nagash is basically the only faction that can buff low tier units enough to be relevant all the way to lategame at least without lord specific buffs in certain armies ofci wish more factions had that option in WH
>>583013395I haven't seen Vlad job a single game yet since the DLC lolIt takes Archeon for him to have some trouble usually
AAAAAAAAAAAAND its a bugged quest!
>>583013954Respectable taste, who wouldn't want to fill up Mina's cold, undead womb?
>>583013041I haven't played him a lot in 3. Is he as broken as Nagash? I doubt it
>>583014459Should have done them in order!It stays in your quest log but Vlad still shows up to support you in the final battle, just a UI bug.
>>583014495nagash has way better magic and builds resists way quicker but the lord of the endtimes mechanic probably edges nagash out

>>583014268>ushabtiI've had a lot of fun with them in my Tomb Kings campaign using them to shoot down Malekith, Rakarth, and Hellebron on their flying mounts.
you can sniff out the rat settlements with the web mechanic
>>583013930if you dont suck luoens dick kemmlar will declare war on you right around the time you consolidate reikland
>>583014905their stiff stop motion-y rotoscope-y animations are pure kino to witness
>>583014608Interesting. I'll try Archaon out once I'm done with all the other lords on my list. One of the strengths of Nagash though is that his army replenishes and dead units reanimate once you have enough upgrades. At this point I basically have infinite movement as well so I'm going from city to city occupying it and moving on. I took Vlad from 33 settlements down to the low 20s in one turn with only Nagashs' army.
how do you get the verinlord heroes and lords as ikit?
dude wtf is with these random rogue armies in my land, fuck off
I'm in the mood for some cheats (mods). Give me some of your preferred cheats (mods).
>>583015245Research the tech and then you get one every time you do the ritual that gives you food and decreased recruitment cost. I can't remember its name.
>>583015508You're in luck as I made this image yesterday while troubleshooting. Campaign works fine with all of them.
Vlad's starting army is very powerful. Full units of grave guards, blood knights, vargheists, bats, and a black coach. And of course a legendary vampire hero as the cherry on top. All of them with vanguard deployment. It's great for fighting the early Empire stacks where hardly anyone even has a single knight unit.
>>583015508Reinforcing lords get LL defeat traits is a good cheat
>>583015730Doesn't audiomixer break all new audio due to being outdated?
>>583015508The one that gives your units an attack order for the nearest enemy when their current target is destroyed
>>583015820Not sure. Yesterday the final battle of my Nagash campaign kept crashing so I disabled it and the crash still kept happening so I don't think it was that mod. Other than that campaign has been just fine.
>>583015986why is that not just in the fuckiing game
i'm really torn with getting the thanquol dlc. on the one hand i love rats and giant cannons, but on the other hand i really don't want to give ca another cent. somebody help me decide. i won't creamapi, cause i'm a pansy.
>>583015820It does. I played entire Aislinn campaign with all the new shit mute thinking it's TCLAP who fucked things on release before I realized it was audio mixer fucking things up. Long story short I dropped this and any mod that requires it. Modding in custom factions/races is fun but in the end it's just end turn crash waiting to happen.
>>583014678>getting overtime in at workthis is a good thing?>got multiple dates lined upW I suppose>have social activities plannedsame but I only do it to keep up those social links, otherwise they'll def ditch my ass for all future get togethers >have a nice fat list of vidya I wanna play outside of twsame and im doing it >life on the up & upsame ol for me >miserable because I just wanna sit home and NEET out on total warsame but only until I get bored of the ET campaigns>Grass is always greener, bros.sometimes...

>>583017438People keep telling me this but I don't see the point in switching when I barely use it. It loads the mods I'm using just fine and I very rarely change them.For games like Xcom 2 the community-made Alternative Mod launcher is essential since I'm constantly fucking around with mods in that game and a lot of them nowadays even require it.
>>583017875the best part of it is that you don't have to use their shitty slow as fuck launcher
>>583015986link?
>>583016274It is though? Learn to use Alt + right click attack
>Sister of Battle mod gets taken down by CA>Only guy to save it was some chink who converted it into a slaanesh mod>He also disabled her gun for some reasonWhy is life so unfair
>>583018005>their shitty slow as fuck launcherThere's a fix for that, you had to delete som ini file or something. I remember doing it years ago and it's been fast ever since. If that problem reoccurs I'll download the mod launcher, but I can't be bothered to do it now.
>>583016585Idk man maybe just start reading books or something.
>>583018463i just started the complete cronicles of conan. total war: hyborean age when?
>>583014678>>getting overtime in at workI don't know why you're counting giving more of your limited time on earth to your boss as a good one.Congrats on everything else.
>>583018216There was a Sister of Battle mod and I didn't get to play it?!
luthor harkon saveshave faith in luthor harkon
>>583019024It added a SoB hero with full voice lines, bolt pistol, power sword, she was OP like Doomslayer, but was also a SoB so I was fine with it.
I hate the magma cannons so fucking match it's unreal. They bug out so fucking often and then stay stuck like this. Is nice that they shred infantry but warp lightning cannons do that just fine too without bugging the fuck out.
>>583019349Your army composition disgusts me and you should feel bad and ashamed for even posting it.
>>583019349Your army composition appeals to me and you should feel good and proud for posting it.
Do you still turn on crisis events now that endgame scenarios are in? The default settings for crisis events are now OFF for all of them.
>>583019667I turn off both because i've played the former to death and the latter ones are buggy pieces of shit.
>>583019667i do. why not.
>>583019667Depends.If I plan an expansionist campaign I turn on End game but turn off crisis.If I plan a tall campaign, I do the opposite.If I'm feeling sexy I turn on both.
>>583019349Pure ranged is based; don't listen to haters
im sorryi might be mistaken heredid they actually make HOT SEX models for lahmian whores?she even sounds hotGIVE ME A LAHMIAN WHORE NOW
>altdorfdafuqdid they envision nagash as like a 250 turn world conquest type campaign? I guess soi like long campaigns but I'm just wondering if they intended that when they made u do that just to confed vlad on your own continent let alone the other ones
>>583019946Nagash in theory is supposed to roll over the world in a wave. In practice he can't do that because you only have 3 armies on turn 50 and you're still in the red.
>>583019946same for the new LH.Not only do I have to take Nuln, but I have to build a building there? I have shit to do in Africa. And around Nagashizzar. By the time I'm in Nuln the campaign is practically over. So I don't even get to train the guy to a high level. I thought we knew about this issue from Volkmar's campaign but I guess not.
>>583019946Yes.They said Nagash is designed so the only way to accomplish all of his goals is an extremely long campaign, while focusing on just a handful will be easy.>>583020050By turn 87 I had all mortarch armies, four reinforcement armies, and was still in the green.Nagash's start is harsh but if you play aggressively he can expand fast.
I haven't even consolidated all of the southlands and this fucker is coming FUCK
Who likes slaneesh anyway, fucking army of Pink homo looking dudes what are you gay or something? Want to play with some dolls too?

Haven't played orcs since the good ol Warhammer wan days, but today I felt particlarly orcish so decided to give Grimgor a go.And oh boy what did devs do with them?muh god! You PASSIVELY gain waagh by sitting on your ass now? Shouldn't you passively lose it? They're fucking orcs!And THEN after you sit on your ass long enough you get to have 40-stack armies (extra 20-unit stack is free btw)No wonder these green niggers always end up conquering half the map.Now I somewhat get people who cry about powercreep all the time.Shit's busted and worst of all I'm already kinda bored. Bots don't have enough intelligence to deal with double stacks.Also they have surprisingly good economy for some reason and easiest confederation mechanics.New units are fun tho.
>>583020365Sometimes I just feel like groping daemonettes.With a reskin mod so they have two boobs, of course.
????Why is the ai like this, why don't it charge after me?Is this the result of some shitty pvp thing?
>>583020736>You PASSIVELY gain waagh by sitting on your ass now?claude is this real?
>>583020765>Is this the result of some shitty pvp thing?Not this time.For some insane reason there are hundreds of people begging CA to "improve the AI". Which can mean literally anything. So now CA have made it more tryhard. That's why it's camping on the high ground.I'd rather see the AI reflect the faction's behavior. Orcs should not sit still and wait. They should charge out because they love war.
>>583020587Hell yeah thanks anon.
AAAA the tzeenchtide
>>583021471TTD
Anyone here still plays Realm of Chaos campaign?once in a while I play Skarbrand, it's reslly fun, especially when the gates open

>>582983114Did the hotfix bork the mods again?, my game won’t even start and it did work just fine yesterday
>>583022183using 20~ ish less intrusive mods and they worked fine, only mod that the hotfix broke for me is the dlss mod from nexus where I had to download an updated ver
>kurgan warbands only spawn when Miao Ying is player controlledthis shit is dumb
>>583022350>dlss modis it good? how is performance gain?
Well I wouldn't say I actually know what I'm doing yet and I'm still auto resolving a lot of battles, but I think I had one of the moments where the game clicked, carl Franz kept clearing out the moot and when I finally made it over and got jumped by him auto resolve was set as decisive defeat, and I was expecting to get torn apart in manual, but instead my dire wolves and del bats were setup and just ripped through his ranged units before they could do anything, then I just kept doing hit and run with them on priority targets and my grave guard and black knights held the line, and finally Vlad won the duel against franz and make the rest of them rout and it ended up as a close victory instead of loss I think I'm finally feeling it, I still don't know what the fuck I'm really doing, but man it felt fucking good Also I ended up staying up like 2 more hours then I should've because I didn't wanna stop playing
The fuck did she mean by this?!
>>583022510dlss quality with M preset performs p much the same as TAA for me, looks way better tho n clearerwith the other presets (that aren't M or L) it's huge tho, +20 or +30 fps even on dlss quality, but ofc its gonna look blurrier than M/L, I thinkif u rly want performance u can try using dlss balanced or performance or if u have a beast GPU DLAA is by far the cleanest i've seen wh3 ever look, but yeah it's very taxing if u use it disable the "sharpening" option ingame just read the mod description ig it also mentions that, for me it's a great mod pic rel is DLSS quality with M preset, I have a 4070
>>583022718Nice, anon!Learning vampires can be a real hoot.As you incorporate spellcasting more and more into the strategies you'll find you'll have some armies built around setting up for your casters, and other armies where magic is just a heal/buffer.
>>583022794you will submit to Nagash, bitch.
NECROMAANTIIIIIC
>>583022794Nagash is a shitter who up until End Times was a bit of a joke.
>>583022943pic rel is DLAAbattles with this for me are like 50-60 FPS, I"d use it if i had a 5080 or some shit
>>583022990I was trying to play thanquol but skaven just weren't clicking while I learned the game and I kept getting folded on easy fights, all melee that don't rout works for my brain I finally turned isabella into a proper lord so that took a bit of time to get used to not having her magic in my main forceAlso I'm fucking struggling and don't understand how to get tier 5 settlements so fast, Im like turn 50 and still have like 5 turns until my last upgrade, I just wanted more blood knightsBut so far fell bats and dire wolves have been the mvps, also vlad can fucking 1v1 anyone at this point
>>582990613Ai protecting settlements with multiple armies is not a bug. Bring more armies you shitter.
>>583022943is M latest for 50s series?
>>582998407Repanse existsAnd if you don’t count her, female Bretonnian knights do canonically exist per WFRP, they’re just disguised as men.It’s uncommon, but occasionally a noble house with no male heirs will just take a daughter and pretend she is a guy to keep up appearances, with knightly training and all that.Now women CANNOT be Grail Knights, because you can’t hide your tits from The Lady.
>>583023485L is the best, M is like +20-30 FPS compared to L, so I use that for 50 series I'd try with L and see how it goesbasically try out diff shit with an FPS counter in custom battles tho that's what I didwith dlss quality M preset I have 110 FPS ish medium size battles, with L preset I have like 80, the extra FPS is worth the diffmaybe L runs better on 50 than on 40
>>583022350Well, I have less than that and for whatever reason my game no longer works (other games do work). Guess I’ll reboot the computer
>>583023660One of your mods must be touching something they just updated because I use like 40 mods and my game loads just fine.
Who is the sadist that made these two lords a must fight?
what's the best shade?

>>583024197It was me, I did it. Have you got something to tell me?
>>583024306They're all equal at shooting, so it's all about whether you specifically need the dual-wielding versions for blending chaff in melee. Greatswords tend to be the general pick.

I feel like all the Chracian units suck
Any news from legend?

GET THIS TZEEENCH SHIT OFF ME
kek
I did it. I didn't even need to summon Skarbrand.
Is there such a thing as TVs in 40k?
>>582984057Does she keep her male voice? Please say yes.
Its pretty neat for a FLCHowever its a very "over by turn 20" campaignThe reward for this quest battle was Lhamia... which I had already conquered by turn 30. Neferata snowballs so damn hard in the darklands she can just conquer everything up to nagashizzar in a few turns.That said the vampire rework as a whole is kino, and her special mechanics are pretty fun (even though, again, pretty useless when its so easy to conquer everything).
>>582995891they can be, but the ones that aren't told to fuck off are kept around as menial servants and slaves lol
Did the hotfix fix nagash not being able to use the special buildings after getting a mortarch?
>>583025142Meanwhile...
Is AI getting too intelligent?
>>583025915I wouldn't fight that.
Now that the spookiest month of the year has officially begun, which spooky faction are you going to play?

>>583025915Damn imagine Taoyan taking 1000s of ogre cocks...
>age of sig-NOOO
Man I'm kinda regretting attack Mors as Neffy. Not because it's particularly difficult to beat them but because they keep attacking me with ambushes and I'm forced to sit for ages watching my lord fly around slowly until their first unit actually starts attacking. Just gimme normal battles so I can kill them quicker.
Summon the Elector Counts!!
kek nagash is fuckin absurddude's a WoW raid boss
>>583026764Strongest lord in the game by far.
>>583026761Did we finally jump the shark by giving the regular human faction giant walkers?
>>583026764You should play VC next, to see what having not one but dozens of Nagashes running around.
>>583026939*feels like. Hit enter to soon.
for some reason I can't equip the nightmare mount on a necromancer with lore of undeath when playing as vampire counts. anyone else having this issue?
>>583026939I have to actually press stuff with those...nagash you literally march em into em and he starts auto casting spells all over the placeshits insane, and he floats so he's very hard to surround in a moshpit def the strongest lord yeah
>>583027181Yeah but Nagash is limited to just himself. VC meanwhile can shit out near-Nagash level lords fairly quickly and end up struggling to find enemies for them to fight. Meanwhile when playing as Nagash, wherever Nagash currently isn't at is usually burning down cause your shit sucks so much early on and into the midgame.
>>583027558can't nagash recruit those same lords thowhat makes em that strongbecause the problem is when i've played they get surrounded n mosh pitted p easily if u try n play em like nagash
Some of the vampire lair bonuses are amazing but others are terrible, for example who is going to pay 500 blood to unlock one random mount? That’s insane compared to getting ten levels for 400 blood
Total War:
>>583027930Total War: Atlantis
>>583027930SEGA Total War
>>583027721Nagash gets generico lords. VC can shit out level 20+ lords by like turn 20 at the latest that also get a bunch of busted followers and special traits that are insanely strong.
damn elspeths quest battles are fun
I'm disappointed Land Ships aren't a meme unit like in lore and are actually good :(At this point whenever halfling hotpots will come out, they'll be like tier 5 artillery that deletes heavy-armored infantry.
>>583028465Land Ships weren't a meme unit tho.
>>583028465If the DLC units were shit nobody would buy thembeside the fact that you're retarded if you give money to ca besides the base game
SOUTHLANDS IS A NO TZEENCH ZONE FUCK OFF GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
>play nagash>all my armies are typical VC armies (lords and heroes + chaff) but supported by mortars and casket of soulsVampcunts are such retards for not getting artillery sooner
Thoughts on vamp counts rework, Neferata, boris, and glotkin?Haven’t gotten to that half of the content yet.
>>583028701>he doesn't have all the DLC
What do you feel when you hear the line "Lahmian sister."
>>583028950>implying not creamchad
i havent played a total war game since arenais there any reason to return?
>>583028701you should support the developers if you like the game and play it regularly desu
>>583029101Agreed, but that amount of dlc is ridiculous
>>583029037Erect
>>583028950>>583029101I bought the base game, that's more than enough support for these uppity cocksuckers
>>583029147to be fair it is literally 10 years worthbut they need to pack these DLCsconsolidate them into 3-4 packs, and stop the 3 game thing, make WH1 and WH2 free for WH3 ownersthat would make newfriends much less confused idk why CA don't do this stuff
>>583029147Over 10 years and 3 games. Looks fine to me.
>>583027787Especially since the 10 levels get you a mount lol
>>583028701They don't sell their games in Russia, so I couldn't pay even if I wanted to.As for your argument - not really. Skarsnik was DLC, and he's very weak. Doesn't make him less fun.
>>583028801yeah I do the samegetting gravecall casket is a pain tho so no arty in this army for now
>>583029432>game 1 dlcyeah.... taurox was giga op at one point too
>>583029058I just got my buddy to buy me themOnly had to suck his cock a few times
I still can't believe they never added the realms of chaos to immortal empires
varieties of posters>empirewants buffs badly>bretonniacares about lore and elf pussy, will soon die of rework deprivation>kislev/cathayno one shills these factions, 90% likelihood of being bait>helveswhite dudes who want to tell other people they’re not REALLY white>welvesthe only people posting welves are people who self insert as bretonnian squires>delvesweirdly chill despite all the rapefic>dwarfsinsists that their faction is good without prompting>vcountsmemes>vcoastmemes and the sartosan tomboy waifu guy>lizardswants to look at gay scalie porn>ratswants to make (You) look at gay furry porn>beatsmenwants to make (You) look at blacked cuck porn>chaos dwarfsjust in it for the love of blowing shit up>chaos (warriors/daemons/monos/etc)cares about lore, doesn’t understand why chaos isn’t everybody’s favorite faction>tomb kingswho?
>>583029593I'd argue he was weaker when he came out than now, so Skarsnik DLC being old doesn't have anything to do with it. Point is, he was weak by design. Which he compensated with a fun campaign and meme potential.I'd like more of that. But I guess it's too late, I'm not even sure there's going to be any big DLC in the future.
>>583028701>If the DLC units were shit nobody would buy themI'm reluctant to buy Thanquol because it looks too OP
>>583029840>Nothing about Greenskins or OgresIts over
>>583029868Congrats, you have higher IQ than the average goylem that buys the DLC
>>583009250thanks king it worked.
>>583029840Hmm Druchiichads I think we've been slacking
>>583029840cathay has lots of fans itt fool
>>583029840newfag
Is there a faction with a lord that lets me empower units, basically making each unit have the depth of the skilltrees of lords/heroes?
>>583030607Yes but you'll cry and shit your pants and call them OP anyway
It's turn 80 and I've just noticed it. Since when this is a thing? Did it came with end times patch?
>>583026764He is. Nothing can fight him which kinda ruins it once you realize. The AI just isn't smart enough to do something like bring a stack of ranged cannons and defend them.
>>583025196put your dumbass mod onto steam, my nigga
eww
>>583029147the list is bloated by buying every lord separately nowwhich is not a bad thing but just saying
>>583031334When are we getting actual AI in games?
>>583031636roasted undead flesh
>want to play thanquol>want to wait until the game is more fixedRats got me in a bind.
>>583031636>yuro mastixwhat did the lizards mean by this
>>583031748Scan the brain of every mp fags and upload them into the game.
>>583031825sex with this rat
>>583031923MP Nagash campaign when?
my ustabti are unphased by the puny meteor rain
>>583031923this, but only scan my brain. (i am slightly more competent than the below average /twg/ player)
>>583032037wait he just literally insta deleted my lord, never seen that beforei got too cocky
>>583031748Never. Enemy AI in video games started being dumbed down almost two decades ago because gamers don't like playing against smart enemies
>>5830317482 to 5 years.This year saw the rise of AI in modding communities. There were also games with AI, but it was used for narrative/roleplaying stuff, it wasn't about the mechanics.Next year though... We already have a very promising JEV model which can learn how to play any kind of vidya, and most importantly, it's cheap and doesn't require a fuckhuge server to host. In short, actual AI in vidya is soon, but not soon enough, as I want my strategy games to be as fun in singleplayer as in multiplayer NOW.
>>583032553it sucks for playing games tho, it's good for code but actually playing 'em dude needed 500$ worth of tokens to get through portal 2 and it took 100+ hours, screenshot by screenshot
>>583032553i'd rather have AI that can assfuck the game's code and make currently "impossible" mod mechanics a reality
>>583032358Nag -ACK
>>583030194lol lmaoOne tranny does not make a 'lot'.
Does anyone have news on when the old world mod might be updated? I never tried it and unfortunately got the itch right now.
>>583033245idk hth
>>583032358>he got warp-fired classic
>>583032525Oh yeah I forgot the goyim exist
>>583033194you mean arkhan the bl-ACK
>>583033245It always takes longer than others due to its size and scripting with other mods the guys who make TOW also make. Possibly more than a week is my best guess. Don't wait for it.
>>583033430all look same
>>583029840>>delves>weirdly chillYou either haven't seen all the autistic Malekithfagging or you're a purveyor of it.
what are morghasts exactlyare they smth that turned undead or is it a nonorganic construct like the other TK stuff
>>583031748Never.
>>583033670animated bones
>>583029840>>empire>wants buffs badlyNo. we want an actual political system AND religious system.
How are these victory rewards realGlotkin are broken as fuck once you get your maximum amount of Gardens btw. Instant recruitment of full health Tier 4-5 units in bulk.
Now that AI is learning to mod, how long until the Robieclique dissolves and all the super special mods they're gatekeeping(like audio mods for example) become open to the public?
>>583034603Never.
>>583034198Just play ck2
>>583034603Depends on how much someone is willing to spend on tokens.
>>583034659>yo claude(MAGNUM OPUS NIGA NIGGA 9000) can you decomp this mod?>Sure!what are they going to do, send a cease and desist?
>>583034603I don't even know what you are talking about, does the game have audio mods?
Is Nagash and the other new factions in the RoC campaign?
>Empire general is there as the default>Arch Lector is there if you don't want to use a priest of Sigmar>Senescence is there if you want to pretend to be Space wolves in WHFB but shittier>Hunstman is there because every faction needs a joke option>Master Engineer is there for a free steamtankIs that about right?
>>583035235No, RoC has been essentially discontinued
>>583035253Huntsman General back when huntsmen armies were good.
>>583035361Well they aren't good now so that's what I'm considering.
>>583035441Did they actually change anything about them? I can't imagine them having falling off in power too hard.
>>583035040Yeah, a lot of them actually. Some on the workshop, most of them you gotta look on the other sites. Like mods that use copyrighted stuff, or like spicy mods that add new slutty voicelines for female LLs in diplomacy screen.
>>583035338RIP to the realms of chaos idea. At least old world added them. Absolute bullshit that chaos is an afterthought in the actually used map.
Why tf do Nurgle lords not get Toad Dragons as mounts? Fucking Chaos Beasts, really?
>>583035742Because they already have one of the best heroes in the game.
>>583035574No, and that's the issue. They got completely powercrept by Master Engineers, and they're objectively inferior to Kislev Druzhinas.
How the fuck am I supposed to win the end of the end times quest battle?I set up somewhere, blast the first group, go to take the first victory point, the entire fucking map aggros and rushes me while 5 portals spawn behind me.What am I supposed to do?I don't have a nurgle hero stack, I play skaven.
>>583035628>chaos is the afterthoughtThere's chaos niggers EVERYWHERE now. I fucking hate that, I wish we had an option to just straight up delete all the chaos factions until end times come.You can leave beastmen and norsca, but definitely not daemons. Fuck daemons, I'm tired of fighting them no matter the faction/part of the map I'm playing.
>>583035876which battle is that?I can't fucking win Nagash final battle with Settra and Necrosphinx Hierotitan spam
>>583035845Idc they're boring as shit. At least let me get a cool mount. Don't act like this game is even remotely balanced.
Nagash has invaded the world. Too bad for him, the world is controlled by skaven.
>>583033552>all the autistic MalekithfaggingThe autistic ones are the posters that cry about Mallyposts. Mally is the KINOest character in this IP.
>>582983852Bright wizard might help but Glottkins needs the type of large unit DPS only snipers/cannons can bring. Your usual handgunners alone aren't going to damage him much.>bright wizardPerhaps buff stacking of sorts might be worthwhile here with your gun line + engineer but in general it's best to bait and kite nurgle lords around and pray the army debuff gets them killed.
>>583034198>religious systemThere is only one religion in the Empire you subhuman Ulrican filth.
>>583035990The one to end archaon's end game scenario.Shit is retarded..I have to fight valkia, festus, vilitch, azazel, skarbrand, nkari, kugath, kairos, about 4 full armies and archaon at the same time and they are all max level.
>>583036208You mean>Malerionfagging
>>582986778Glotkin don't even come with innate regen, you have to waste an equipment slot to get that. They also have an absolutely dogshit melee animation, Tamurkan MOGS hard.
MEDIEVAL 3 WHEN
>>583010197Total War: Dominions would be CA’s best game ever if they captured all its potential
>>583036463You have to go back to /tg/ lil bro. This is a Fantasy not AOS/TOW thread.
>>583020736yes mental midget faggots whined so much that now every race is super easy mode and all of them have the same great economy
>>583036510Total War?
>>583036364There is literally a Pantheon you fucking secondary.
>>583036702There is only Sigmar. Get fucked.
>>583036509Rot-Eternal is pretty good when you base come with poison and other retarded ways of keeping yourself healthy and high MD. Sure some ward-save might be better but Glottkins have so much unique nonsense on top of being better spellcasters that they dab on Tamurkan at anything but battles of attrition
>>583036702The pantheon of dying to Fagash lmao. Real gods don't job to a skeleton.
>>583036787Even the cult of Sigmar treads carefully when dealing with Morr. Know your fucking place.
Thanquol's campaign mechanic is cool until you realize how shallow it is.It just becomes a money printer by like turn 10.
Slaanesh is one hell of a drug.
>>583036787fuck of, my boy Kruber is a Taal boyBYYY TAAAALL, FIGHT, KILL, DEATH
>>583036880Tamurkan comes with a corpse cart effect as well. Plus he's a daemon so he gets 20% extra phys resist.>they dab on Tamurkan at anything but battles of attritionBut that's literally the only scenario where Tamurkan loses to them? He deals way more DPS, but Glotkin can cast a billion spells (over the course of like 10 minutes). He also gets going much faster because he gets his Toad Dragon way, way earlier than they get their really good stuff.
>>583037049that is definitely excessive but it doesn't seem very pleasurableI don't really get slaanesh's shtick
>>583037049I think I like this funny guy.
>>583037049That isn't his face. It's a mask over his helmet.
>>583035909Dumping chaos everywhere because they didn't bother adding any chaos wastes stuff is absolutely a symptom of that. Even Kislev got basically no updates to their area and exist in a little squished zone north of the empire.So much map real estate is given to china and they still didn't bother to flesh out the great wall either either.
>>583037209It's not just pleasure. It's all things in excess, including pain.Mostly pain, actually.
>>583034603It won't take much longer. Vibemodders have already taken over the biggest modding scenes and will trickle out into other games soon.
>>583037049>>583037283Imagine being an immortal söyjak.
>>583035040Yes but they can only be made by people in the clique because they're keeping the tools used to import audio secret. This is why faction and unit mods typically use vanilla voice lines. Because most mod creators aren't able to import new ones, they can only move the vanilla ones about.
>>583037209Excess, pleasure and perfection.That guy combined excess and perfection towards the field of music and carried it to it's logical conclusion.
>take the blackdafuq does arkhan mean by this
>>583037423are you one of those guys that deny Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll is the core of Slaanesh?
>>583037416Modders legit behave like CA is going to sent them a hitsquad if they add some Mark of Chaos line to the game or some shit. This is why Russian/Chinese modders are so based, because they don't give a fuck and will just steal from other games.
>>583037575Drugs are bad, even slaanesh would agree, because they dull the senses.
>>583037682But slaanesh cultists use drugs all the time
>>583037360Chaos was always everywhere in the Old World. One of the biggest chaos strongholds is in the center of the Empire - Brass Keep.
>>583037738Only the bad ones. The ones that want to truly ascend go raw.
>fight in Ulthuan as Chaos>get the Realm of Chaos spell rouletteHuh? Is that new? What are the conditions?
>>583037786The lore didn't have khazrak and festus wiping middenland by turn 3 though. I stand by thinking the map is too squished to support all these factions. I miss the good old days of warhammer 1 where vampires had to fight empire and it was uncomplicated.
>>583037575No? How the fuck is that what you took away from "Slaanesh includes pleasure and music"?
>>583037682Only downers like weed. I'm sure slaanesh loves uppers like cocaine.
>>583037049THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET LOUD NOW
>>583019667Gimme some extreme map destroying Crisis settings. I want dozens upon dozens of doom stacks but don't want my PC to crash. It's pretty decent thou 7900XTX
do rats become allies during chaos endtimes... ?
>>583038080>The lore didn't have khazrak and festus wiping middenland by turn 3 though.If Fantasy worked like TW they would have done it. Empire doesn't control 90% of the territory they claim is theirs. Middenland only exists because it's a huge walled fortress and the intro to the new Boris campaign actually perfectly encapsulates how life in that part of the Empire looks like.
>3 beers inI BREAK THE SEAL
>>583020765This shit right here is why I don't player Warhammer. Absolutely fucking retarded. Zoomers ruined gaming with their hero bullshit. General's unit shouldn't have anymore than double the next elite unit's health. This shit is retarded. Turned TW from a turn based strategy into Korean crackhead APM sweatfest.
The Old World Nagash playthrough is going to be kinomaximum
>Chaos factions start hating me because I have deals with Order factions>said deals is them being my abuse vassalimpressive coding, CA.
For me, it's the plague marines.
Tucking some globadiers and flamers behind trees to wait in ambush is super effective.
>>583038496That isn't a hero bro it's just a corpse cart calm down
>>583038496>hero bullshitThere's no hero in that video. It's just a fast anti-infatry unit going through infantry.
>khorne100% about murder. Juuust murdering stuff. Doesn't matter what stuff, as long there's carnage and war - that's good. >tzeentchMagic fuckery. This whole god's shtick is about casting spells, the bigger the explosion and more casualties there are - the better.>slaaneshBasically khorne, but pink. Unlike khorne, you also need to show off during the murder part. Also every character looks like a disgusting tranny, don't know if it's a modern thing or what's up with that.>nurgleno idea what his deal is. Plagues? I guess he's about killing AND mutating stuff. Which is different I suppose.>what's your pointChaos gods are stupid, and there's no nuance about them.Find me one fucking line in this game that shows that Khorne is "honorable", tzeentch is "about wisdom", nurgle is actually "kind and caring", and slaanesh "cares about aesthetic and self-fulfillment"Chaos are stupid murder niggers, and if you play them you're a nigger too.
>>583038629>We are maggots on the corpse of man.>I feel the maggots hatching already.>The ground crumbles and rots beneath my feet.Can't wait to buy Chaos for 25€.
>>583035990Nagash's final battle is a check to see if you can counter flyerswhich I don't know how to do on half of the factions
Just another day of being a ChaosGAWD and triggering the weak minded by existing.
feels good to be a murder nigger
kairos has to be the worst fucking faction to fight against in the game between the bullshit settlement stealing and his retarded horizonal southern chaos waste empire
>>583038832Tzeentch created Winds of Magic and spells and is overall an all-knowing entity, so...
>>583038629poothrower is kino weapon
A single unit of Halberdiers brought down a Bloodthirster. Chaos are jobbers.
>>583038832>don't know if it's a modern thing or what's up with thathow do we tell this guy that Slaanesh is a classical tranny from the 80s
>>583038832>>tzeentch>Magic fuckery. This whole god's shtick is about casting spellsAlso trickery and manipulation.
>>583038832>shtickit's gimmick, speak english
>>583038832>This whole god's shtick is about casting spells, the bigger the explosion and more casualties there are - the better.>>slaaneshNo. Tzeentch is all about messing with people. He's the strongest Chaos God of them all but all he does is troll.
>>583039135I was thinking if that tube was shoved up his ass, but it might be directly connected to his colon.
>>583038832uh oh the gayoscucks didn't like this one!!
Neferata’s so good once you get her staff. Even dwarf and Khorne infantry get vaporized by her WoD
>>583039180maybe he was tired from murdering so they got the jump on him. ever thought of that? I would just be quiet and listen and that's what no one else did.
>Karl gets help from Louen and Vlad>still jobs to one army of MOGkin and some garbage units I fired and forgot aboutOrdersissies in shambles.
>>583039254>He's the strongest Chaos God of them all but all he does is troll.This is anime-tier character writing.I mean a really bad anime by that.>>583039196>Also trickery and manipulation.Which, as I understand, always leads to some kind of big magical explosion no?I'm not really against that and don't find this particularly retarded, I just don't like that people pretend that there's something more to it when there isn't.
>>583039720You type like a fag and your shit's all retarded.
>>583038832Maybe you should try to get into the rpg instead of the wargame where armies do battlefield things so all you see is big magic explosions and butchery.
>>583039707In my campaign Franz is like lvl 46 since turn 40 and has doomstacks. Your looks retarded on all levels.
>>583039720The lore says Tzeentch can win the Great Game whenever he wants he just chooses not to because playing is more fun than winning or something.
>>583035361>>583035574>>583035859They have buffs for archers and huntsmen, and for spearmen, halberdiers, and even greatswords.But for some reason nothing for swordsmen and crossbowmen. Never understood why.Maybe they should give them a skill that makes them better at ambushing.
>>583040016It's Glotkin's quest battle.
NO VOICE IN OUR EARS BUT THE MAW
>>583039859And yet chaos gods are still very stupid and incredibly one-dimensional.Aight, I'll give tzeentch that one - his aesthetic with gold, blue and bird stuff is actually pretty nice. He should be given the title of a god that cares about looking nice, not slaanesh. Slaanesh are only second to nurgle in terms of how atrocious and ugly they look.Which, again, contradicts their whole supposed thing.But it's because chaos gods are very stupid, yes.
>>583040101Now, I'm more of a Tzeentch fan than the other chaos gods, but you wouldn't happen to have read that lore in a lore extract that happened to be glazing the fuck out of Tzeentch the same way every codex and army list glazes the fuck out of whoever it's about, right?
Greatswords should be stronger than Chosen.
>>583040538many are saying this
>>583040538Fully agreed.Unlike chosen, they actually get paid pretty nice and are allowed to have a good, healthy diet.The fuck do chaos niggers eat in their wastes?They should all be malnourished and sickly.If not straight up dead.
Teutogen Guard should be stronger than Aspiring Champions
this is going to be very fun.
>>583040257love these lads. they need more love from CA as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bbp98oMsjA&pp=ygUYd2FyaGFtbWVyIDMgdHJhaWxlciBvZ3Jl
>>583040398NTA but I read the book "Palace of the Plague Lord" by C.L. Werner", and in that one, Tzeentch straight up manipulates timelines; how on earth would you ever beat that? >Oh you hit me? Well actually, I traveled back to 5 minutes to before you hit me, and killed you.He literally operates under JoJo rules.
mannfred is about to fucking die from attrition i assume its something a tzeench agent didsigh
>>583040730Member when they wanted to add Nigger Ogres but then remembered that they wanted to sell this game in China? I member.
>>583040978oh its a lizardman thing i think actuallyit's overnothing i can do i think
>>583040538lol
>>583041075There's literally nothing wrong with there being Ogres of Colour.
>>583041075China love niggersTENET was one of the top grossing hollywood films in China
>>583040978Did you retreat? I've noticed retreating against certain factions causes an attrition effect
When are Empire Chosen being added?
Are the Necromancers /ourguys/?
>>583041426Is that why Tencent has specifically said that they want their games without blacks and with pretty women?
>start Kislev campaign to be the shield of the old world>20 turns in, the Empire I'm supposed to keep safe is gone and turned into a bat-infested shithole>the greatest threat to my settlements are vampire orcs>the only thing that comes from the north is skaven unless Rasputin manhandles them allIf I were CA, I'd introduce an option to "tailor" each campaign to be more lore-appropriate. If you play Katarin, the greatest threat shouldn't be Drycha/Azhag/Golgfaggot, and Sylvania shouldn't eat the whole Empire
>>583041495I hate Sigmarines so fucking much.
>>583041718I was hoping that Boris would help keep the Chaos pressure from the North off Karl so that he can actually stop Vlad from swallowing the entire Empire in 20 turns.
>>583038832They're different types of Faustian bargains. They're not supposed to be nuanced or actually good in some shape or form, they're just ironic.>Do you really want to kill someone, for justified reasons or otherwise? Khorne can grant you the chance to kill them, but you'll end up killing a whole lot of other people along the way and afterwards too.>Do you really want to survive, or for a loved one to survive? Nurgle can grant that to you, at the cost of survival as something unrecognisable and the deaths of everyone else around the survivor.>Do you really desire something? Slaanesh can grant it to you, whatever it is, but it won't be enough. You'll want more and more, to the point where you'll be incapable of remembering the thing that you sold your soul to Slaanesh for.>Do you really want knowledge and the chance to understand things? Tzeentch will grant you the understanding that you want, and so much more than that, to the point where your mind will be completely warped by the truths it's exposed to.Now I know what you're going to say:>What sort of retard would fall for those? Anyone smart would just never take a bargain from a Chaos god. I'd never be retarded enough to be fooled by a Chaos god's bargain.That's why they hide behind all sorts of cults and secret societies, and why they prey on the desperate who find themselves in situations where they make poor decisions.You'd never know if you'd say no to Nurgle saving your baby's daughter life when she's on death's door until it actually happened.
lmao

>>583041718>be ordersissy in 2027>set my campaign to "win"oh yeah, it's gaming time
The AI micromanagement for their charge buff is stupid. I beat this fucker 4 times already and all the battles has been defeat on autoresolve, even with 3 armies.
I fucking DID IT.. only took nearly 2 hours. Absolute cunt fuck of a battle.. was on like 1% ammo left at the end..I don't think I've ever had a boss battle like this in total war ever. This was raw anal.
>>583041907I think the issue is that the AI uses the overpowered vampire lairs so you get level 34 lords in unkillable zombie dragons 10 turns in, and the AI doesn't have answers to that, so the Empire disappears immediately.>>583042104>>583042184I don't wanna be handheld or anything that's what easy is for, I just want the world to try and maintain it's "shape" a little longer.As it is right now, 20 turns in you already know whether it's gonna be Ordertide or Chaostide.
>>583038832>no idea what his deal is.There is an occasional loading screen line about a good nurgle daemon that goes around curing plagues.
>>583042230Behold, the power of Nurgle!
And Skarbrand got to meet Skarbrand.
>>583039254>He's the strongest Chaos God of them allKhorne is the strongest chaos god unless Nurgle has a temporary growth spurtTzeentch and Slaanesh are never the strongest
>>583040696this is so true its almost a nuke of truth
>>583042358>I just want the world to try and maintain it's "shape" a little longer.And you can do that with a mod. You can literally set how many buffs or debuffs an individual faction gets so they can snowball more easily or don't expand at all.
I think they need to buff Lahmian handmaidens again
>>583042406They need to make a DLC to fix the AI. What the fuck are these autoresolves?And fuck this fat cunt, it knows it will have a disadvantage on its charge if I am on this hill..
>>583042695Nobody is saying this
>>583031334My thinking is once Nagash is strong enough just put him in the black pyramid/nagashizzar and have the generals run the show. Treat it more like Unified Undead. What I plan to do when I do my campaign (Once ancillaries are fixed for Nagash and unique locations too) is once he's really unstoppable, let's say level 20 or so, is limit him to special missions:>Go abroad to get the books>go abroad to temporarily take the 4empire provinces to win Vlad, then fuck off and just hold Sylvania.>Go abroad to go sack major capitals for some roleplay reason (but really just to make money).>>583034603If you can get AI that can handle making campaign maps that'd be great. I really wanted the Pharaoh map to go further into Iran and the Caucasus, maybe even to South/Central Italy and Carthage for the mod I was working on.I both understood why the attila campaign map editor people kept their shit proprietary (Too many people asking for help) but also found it slimy since I am fairly sure the shogun 2 map editor people aren't so miserly with it.
Please help me /twg/, what's a good Neferata midgame stack? I've never played Vampire Counts before.All I know is that skeletons and zombies are essentially shields, bats are useless, but nothing beyond that. The Lahmian handmaidens are really strong but what about the rest of the units? What should I be targeting?
>>583024835>turn 83>hasn't wiped out thorek>hasn't made it to the empirefirst campaign ever?

>>583043038i can't afford more than 3 stacks lad nigga talkin about some "empire"
>>583043517I see that you are a bitch that expects everything on a platter so I was correct to not help you. Maybe some day you will learn.
>>583043029Bats are one of your best units dude, you use them to disable their archers and artillery.Regardless, here are two good foundations that you should keep in mind for vampires.One is a big wide army, lots of zombies or skeletons. You group the enemy up in a line to maximize your Wind of Death, one of the best spells in the game.Another is to have sufficient power in their fast, small unit size units. You go to one side of the army and work your way down
>>583042023No idea of whom you're talking about.I'm Russian.
>>583043062You should be getting them to level 34 and then choosing whether you wanna make them melee or spellcaster, and choosing the appropriate buffs.I do not recommend the one that cuts 25% off campaign range in exchange for more strength, it makes them so slow.
Can Vamps still corner camp and wipe shit with WoD? Please say no.
>>583043667>>583043147I know bats are good for disabling but they crumble if something looks at them wrong.>Another is to have sufficient power in their fast, small unit size units. You go to one side of the army and work your way downI like this idea
>>583024835CAPTAIN DIOMEDES Rya'zaz'xzayk of the blood ravens we aren't descendants of the thousand sons no sir
Why is there only Chaos and Undead devastation? Why can't I Nurgle devastate? Or Tzeentch devastate? At the very least Nurgle should be able to turn everything int a garden.
>swissnigger was russianit checks out
which faction is best for doomstacking handmaidens? The battle squads, not the hero. Nagash or Neferata?
>>583037209peeling your flesh off feels good, you should try it
>>583044371>Neferata
>>583043526Kislev.
>>583044371Nagash doesn't get handmaidens until very late
>>583042695true. and chosen of ulric need another nerf.
>tfw they added dogs to empireIt's like CA hears that people want dogs of war and thinks that this is it.If there's one unit category I'd delete from every faction, that'd be those stupid dog units, christ.

What Factions would you straight up delete from the game, folks? Meaning, which factions do you think add nothing to the game and make it just worse? Both from gameplay and lore/loreplaying perspective.Now, that doesn't mean the LORDS themselves are deleted from the game. It means they're no longer separate factions with their own stupid tacked-on mechanics, but you can still acquire them as Lords for their respective factions.I'll start:>All demons of chaos lords, except:Kairos SkarbrandKugathNtranny>ostankya>green chink guy>furry chink lady>costaltyn>changeling>taurox>alberic>fay enchantress>morathi>malus>rakarth>most lizards except the pepe guy and wandering guy>throgg>sniktch>aranessa>cylostra>drycha>sisters of twilight>sigvald>isabella>ghorst>himmler>volkmar>tretch>eltharion>alarielle>alith anar>wurrzag>malakai

>>583048035We should have gotten a rework of the underway stance and have an actual underground map. Like a simplistic one, where holds are connected in a certain pattern and a secondary building screen for Dwarven holds to rebuild certain tunnels, fortify them, allow for more entries/exist points and an extension of the patrol zone, where you can intercept armies.

>>583041718>>583041907Vlad and vampcunt AI is so insanely overtuned in the AI v AI autoresolve while their actual units are shit forcing you to fight them manually, it's about as insane as Grimgor getting to field two full stacks + two WAAAGHs, except x2.
Nameless upgraded in the pyramid is just slaanesh temptation mechanic on steroids. I just nabbed 5 units and suicided them into the enemy, who then bunched up real nice and their ranged made a line for Nagash to cast 2 spells and auto win. He is only level 21 and I haven't gotten his items yet either. People crying about skele spam are playing him wrong.

>>583049997I think a nice balance for medieval 3 would be>leaders are part of a unit like in the old total war games>but if they die they just get wounded for x turnsNobody wants to lose an iconic character just to get some randomly generated faction leader heir.However, yeah, one man armies fucking suck and drain the strategy out of the battles.
other than the necrofex and the bone colossus do the undead have any other SEM artillery units?I would like to go for the trifecta and have a vcount one.

>>583050283counts dont have artillery
>>583047162My point exactly. There's a missed opportunity in making them ethically nuanced. GW made them evil in all caps instead.
>>583049760What's wrong with Franz?Genuinely asking.You guys seem to be like 80% reddit-aligned when it comes to opinions regarding the series and events surrounding it.But you hate on Franz, as if it's the last thing that makes you different from redditors.I don't get it. And I don't see any other reason why anyone would hate Franz as a campaign or a character.
>>583042607how'd thanquol get a friendly Skarbrand?>>583043631>Can't afford more than 3 stacksThe reason for this is because Nagash still has units when really you should put a hero or two on him and then let him solo everything. He really just IS that overpowered
>>583050556i don't wanna do that... I like my nagash having an army desu
>>583050147But you see.There's no chance 40k will flop.It's 40k. Even if the game is utter, unredeemable dogshit, it will break all sale records.That's why they're making it in the first place.
>>583045105I put this on Skarbrand once and it put me in Morghur's rape swamp and I couldn't do anything with my army afterwards
>>583050709sighevery time this is brought up I have to point out the fact that there are many many flopped 40k games for being boring shitnow and in the past so if its somehow rome 2 tier broken (don't think it will be but who knows) it might kill TW
>>583049831To be frank I see it more as the inevitable conclusion of a digitized life + MMORPGs and roleplay. Unironically I suspect Draenei were a major patient zero for the phenomenon. What happens is>You play an MMO>You play as a female character>You erp as a female character>You are associated by your friends more by the female character than by your normal name, normal self, ect>You imagine yourself more as the character than as yourself.>You also start to consume more and more girls-doing-girls media, get raised in an increasingly anti-male culture that deifies women.With furries there's the natural disconnect of you cannot become anthro. For guys imagining being some gigachad barbarian dude or cool antihero there's an ability to resemble them in workout or personality or dress but that's it. So it always will remain a kind of alter ego, a comforting fantastical version that can't exist. You can try and ape it - work out so you are muscular like Goku or Guts, dress and act coolly detached like Gosling in Drive, but that's it.Transgenderism satisfies all the greentexts I mentioned, what you also mention, and it further is the latest vector for the nice-guy-TM who wants pussy. I have a kind of compassion for a transgender whose gay, and likewise a transexual who goes for other transexuals. The "Transbian" is just a vile snake in the grass but is also inflicting untold suffering on radical feminist lesbians so it's richly deserved.Vidya gaems.

>>583050121hey its a real life slaanesh cultist
>>583050513If you want nuance, go read books.Modern Warhammer is not for you.It's somehow more serious, but at the same time much more retarded and straight-up cartoony than it was before.Like, before it was silly in a fun, nerdy way. The way men like. Now it's just shit.
>>583050349>Norsca nigs and Chaos cultists outright want POWAH! to murder their enemies, often not as a means of desperation.Hence the cults and secret societies bit which proceeded that.Let's be honest though, the living conditions that Norscans have to deal with are pretty desperate. If you were a snow savage with an all-consuming hatred of the soft, better-off Southerners, you'd sell your soul for the chance to steal their shit too.

>>583050709No.>>583050806Is right. DoW 3 had huge buzz until the gameplay reveals and was the most popular and successful WARHAMMER game series at the time. There are dozens of dogshit 40k games, that did not sell.Deathwing SHOULD have been as big as SM2 if not bigger. They had literally everything going for them EXCEPT base gameplay. The retards tried to make a first person shooter version of the table top game and it was DoA.Hardcore 40k fans have been burned so much now due to moronic design choices that just make the 'game' part suck, it was a surprise to everyone involved SM2 is not currently dead and was dead shortly after release and hype sales.
>>583050806>there are many many flopped 40k gamesThat was long time ago, anon. Now le hype train is in full force after Astartes, Space Marine 2 and of course Total War Warhammer.People will eat ANYTHING.Now, if 40k Total War is geuinely shit it might hurt FUTURE sales.But who cares about that.Besides, I think that Warhammer 3 is already a shit game, and if 40k will be like that, I'll also consider it shit.But that's just me, most people are ecstatic about Warhammer 3.Dunno, I think the hype and overall lowered standards will carry 40k Total War 100%, no matter how the game actually is.

man. Malus is such a beast. I took my eyes off him for 10 seconds, and he almost executed my Lord. Then he ran straight at my Hellcanon, and there was nothing I could do. He did the same to the hero right after that. He also whittled the two chimeras down to half health while my cavalry was still engaged in close combat with him.
