>>583051009>>583051326dow3 is an easy example yes, it was a big budget game, fuckin LEGACY FRANCHISE in the 40k vidya world, it flopped and almost killed both the franchise and had a hand in killing the genre of 40kidk where htis whole 40k will succeed even if its rome 2 tier comes from, dawn of war 3 wasn't that long ago >>583051368I think every TW game is janky as fuck, I wouldn't consider any a true masterpiece, but they are carried by the fact that they're the only ones that deliver this kinda gameplay, and sometimes they are loaded with sovl (med2, shogun 2)other times they are about the limit of what CA can accomplish (attila and wh3) if 40k TW is as good as wh3 i'll be happy but i'll wait n see
The new Shogun 2 animations they showed off looked giga dogshit.
SERENE ARAHAN
>>583051608>killing the genre of 40kthe genre of RTS** my badbut you get my pointbeing 40k doesn't mean it won't flop if its irredeemable dogshitespecially since, u mentioned space marine, space marine is a normie console 3rd person coop shooter, normies play that game, that audience isn't interested in a top down strategy game of any kind
Is it time for another Meow Ying campaign?
What cheat are you waiting to get updated?
If Chaos Warriors were named after their race like the Beast Men, they would be the Chaos Men.
Autoresolve is impossible to balance and people should stop crying over it.
>>583052062SFO.I just started using it a few weeks before End Times and now I can't go back.
Now that made me think.What's stopping modders from doing a mod similar to Voices of The Court for CK3, but for Warhammer 3?Imagine all the roleplay possibilities.I'm thinking about mostly the coomer stuff (as a Malekith player, I want to call Morathi my mommy in PERSON)But it'll be very fun for normal players as well, if such people still play this game anyway.C'mon modders, do yer work.
>>583051363Why did they remove the soul gas and saturate all the colors of feudal Japan in the remake? Japan is at the same latitude as England. It's not like the climate is going to be in Technicolor.
>>583052062TOW.
>>583052309There is an AI diplomacy mod called Living Diplomacy or something. Would just to tie a voice generator to it.
>>583052189>PUMP THOSE HUMAN LEGS>HUMANS! MARCH!
>>5830516083 flopped because they openly changed the core gameplay to appeal to no one, and the demo turned off anyone who still wanted to give it a chanceTotal War will do fine for the same reason that Darktide did "fine". Normalfags saw that the fantasy version was good and think they're getting that but in space. They don't know or care about the little details. As long as the closed beta isn't an utter trashfire or they don't have another Rome 2 situation it won't have any problems
>>583052309TWW is nowhere near as moddable as CK3, I thinkCK3 is essentially a notepad++ videogame
Playing Neferata made me remember how much I love Vampires.
>>583052571>to appeal to no oneThey changed it to appeal to Demigod players who paid $40 for a non-updating, singleplayer DOTA experience. They didn't even have Last Stand-style character customization for the heroes you were able to play as in DOW3.

>>583052668Is that Neferata from WH2, people ported it to replace official Neferata model?Lmao.I mean, I get it. I don't like the shitty AoS Neferata with 0 sex appeal as well, but the situation is kinda funny.
>>583052668It is night.
As I understand the Total Rebirth mod is only for Warhammer 2?Couldn't find it for 3 in the workshop.Is it still being developed or is it abandoned?
Neferata's hat and staff is too thick.If they were more slender and elegant, she'd be fine.
Very nice
>>583053392get a load of this guy
Why we can't have this for Warhammer 3?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6cuwYiv680
>>583053392The hat is good but her war staff is just retarded
>>583053709Yeah, trueThough I still believe the hat is too thick, it should be thinner
>>583053614We don't want it. Go back to The Sims general. >>>/lgbt/
You may not like it, but the pic related is peak Nagash campaign army.
If you cant win campaigns on Legendary/VH consistently your opinion on game balance means jack shit. Especially pointing out Empire scrubs
Really can't stop thinking about what Beastmen would smell like after a long march
>>583054036But VH battle difficulty significantly warps game balance and isn't at all representative of what the intended play pattern looks like.If all of your experience is magic cheesing and missile kiting on VH then it's like you've never really played the game. Your opinion is totally irrelevant to the actual game the rest of us are playing.
>>583053998Why? People like you dont deserve to have an opinion on this game. The best part of Nagash is his incredible rampage potential and having a super strong army that is 0% necessary will only cause enemy armies to flee and fuck up rampage chains nub
>>583054302You are a fucking braindead retard who knows jackshit about balancing. Not a single thing you said is remotely true.
>>583054036Legendary/VH doesn't mean anything in 3.Some lords might have a difficult start and bad RNG, but half of them steamroll the map.So your take is ironically kind of shit itself.
Oh shit! Reddits gonna freak!https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3808547073
>>583054302VH battle difficulty in 3 is twice as easy as VH in 2 already.It's there to compensate for AI stupidity. I wish AI was able to provide a challenge without it, but it can't. It's better than beating a helpless retarded AI without stat buffs.
Already bored of my dark elf campaign, who do i try next?
>>583054407uh oh melty
>>583053392You can find the oddest complaints on 4chan.
>>583054427No shit dumbass. Thats my entire fucking point you trog. If you cant consistently beat legendary/vh campaigns in wh3 than you are a fucking scrub that needs to sit down, shutup, and listen to people who know what the fuck they are talking about
>>583054315Its called flavour you utter faggot.Cheesing the AI to focus Nagash is in of itself an exploit. We all know he will kill everything and not die, except for the AI. Driving them to my cheaper weaker armies and actually having to work for my wins while Nagash is a force of nature everyone runs the fuck away from is kino.People like YOU are actually shit at the game because without the meta and approved tactics you cannot win anything and you still don't enjoy the game anyway.
>>583054652Very cool anon! You must be a total pro!https://github.com/gibbed/SteamAchievementManager
>>583054467Wait, you're telling me my coomer dreams where I roleplay as Grom the Paunch and harass female LL's for their underwear now may become a reality?Aight, I'm reinstalling this shit game, brb.
>>583054407What he said was a fact. The game is not balanced around VH or Legendary even CA said this anon. It is balanced for Normal.
>>583053505Is it the only unique siege map?
words are like bullets
STRATEGIZEMOBILIZE
>>583054467Would this work with a mod that makes Vlad and Isabella separate factions?Conquering the world together with my vampire wife sounds pretty fucking awesome.I just don't know if modded Isabella would know that I'm her husbando and she should treat me good and say nice stuff to me.
>>583055679Lord Magistrate right?

If I buy my brother TWW2 base and The Twisted and the Twilight, will he get the base roster of things like Glade Guard, Eternal Guard and whatnot for Wood Elves as well as all the DLC page stuff like Zoats and Bladesingers?
Does anyone have the new empire (you are winning) music? Not sure if it's strictly related to Boris or not.
>>583056585IS
>The most attention in the DLC has been given to vampires and the new undeadGrim. Even Grave.
>>583057021LIFE
>>583056907I am pretty sure you get all the base wood elf units too, just not any of the base DLC lords nor Drycha.I think you cannot confederate them either.
>>583053614
>>583053614these are frivolous features desu, I want m2ex to focus on pathfinding first and finalizing EOP support before "moving onto" stuff like thisfeature bloat is a real danger for mods
>>583053998>he has units other than nagash in the armyngmi
>>583057814He needs his cheer squad.
>>583053998>bone giants>good
>>583055136I think Nagash gets one too
what if ogres instead of eating they raped? haha can you imagine "we rape for the maw" haha
When the Old World comes out I am going to play as Nagash and LARP as the Lich King and solely send unending waves of skellingtons unto the world
>>583053614if only the warhammer map editor was this nice. its cock and ball torture to use that shit.
>>583057258https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMv21Q5IQPQGHYRAN FLOWS
>>583058360Nagash is poor as fuck play a Vampire Count if you wanna do that
What did she saw?
>>583058338That's what beastmen were when Warhammer was based.Now I honestly don't even know where new beastmen come from. There's shitload of them, but if there's no female beastmen what do they even do.
>>583058360https://youtu.be/BCr7y4SLhck?t=40
>>583058664some cliche shit like "the future"
>>583058507Nah, vampires are personally lame, I just like skellingtons. It won't be about winning it will be about fun.Is Autoresolve being unfair to me here or am I really that boned?
>>583054302You don't need to cheese anything like that on VH. The AI's stat bonuses are not very large and it does not prioritize tech bonuses, red line skills, landmarks, items, or anything that provides stats at all effectively. Even on VH you're always going to outstat them hard. It just makes them a bit less pathetic.
>>583058848>only autoresolveWhat the fuck?
>>583058848Level 50 Harkon can solo it.
>>583058668There are female beastmen but they don't fight.The number of chaos warriors and beastmen pretty much makes it impossible for them to reproduce through natural means, especially considering norsca is a frozen shithole, so I just believe they get formed in the chaos wastes as fully grown men/beastmen and sent out to fight.
>>583058979I'm playing Sea-elf man, it's just an AR unless I press Take Control>>583058987I killed this retard ages ago as well, sad.
>>583059112Yeah I see it now, never got around to him even though I own it
Shyish is gay.
>start miao ying>after turn 6, the game naturally progresses into 4 skaven sieges>quit miao yingremove skaven from the game
>>583058664He saw that Halo Fleet Battles was going to be discontinued in 2016 and he would rather destroy the world than live without having miniature space ships (I like spaceships OK I wasn't happy when Spartan Games went under).
>>583059720what? sick of getting... cheesed?
>Click Lahmian Vampire Lord>Use their semen against them!Why are they so lewd?
Are Skaven intrinsically evil, or are they evil because of the society they are brought up in and/or the inherent corruption from warpstone?Hypothetically, if a Skaven were to be brought up/escape from its own kind and live under another society or species, would it be a different creature, or would some fundamental base nature always ensure it is an evil thing?
>>583060042It wouldn't be so bad if every fight with them wasn't>break>rally>break>rally>break>rally>break>rally>break>rally>break>rally
Possibly worth it if killing him takes him off the Mortarch retinue for good.I think Helf units kind of suck honestly, I don't know if I am playing them wrong or their leadership just isn't great or if it's because they sound like such fags when they break, but I hate it
>>583060224idk what the cathay equivalent of dogs or harpies are but a couple of those go a long way
>>583060210We have been over this.They are, without exception, ontological evil.No ifs or buts or maybes.
>>583060210All skaven are intrinsically evil because they belong to the Horned Rat, and the Horned Rat is evil.It's not a High Elf/Dark Elf situation where the difference is simply culture and society, being evil to a Skaven is as natural as breathing to you and me.
>>583060210anything related to chaos corruption is pretty much all evil aside from the exception of some beastmen that have been known to be kinda chill around humans.
>>583060382Is the skavenslave that led a revolt also evil too?
>>583060312Play dark elves instead
>>583060564maybe not. what if those former slaves win their revolt start taking slaves of their own?
>>583060564Yes
Are you allowed to pet a bloodletter if you're a chaos champion of khorne?
>>583059720>>583060342Get some Onyx Crowmen. It's from the same Barracks series you build anyways.
This is a stack Ghorst just sent towards me.How do you rate his army composition?
>>583060342>>583061003It's turn 9 and I'm rushing Eshin, I have none of thatPlus it's a siege battle which makes it unbearable because 99% of my units are ranged and ranged doesn't work in sieges
Is this just bugged? I have all of these
>>583061073im fighting mannlett and has a fixation on corpse carts too
>>583061120Cheese the siege with your starting Sky-junk. When manually controlled it has 10x the ammo.
>>583061120just maintain the siege and make them fight you in the field?
>>583054467Looks like it's Imrik campaign time. Gonna bring memes to life and try to marry Miao Ying.I wonder how she'll react. And I also wonder, would AI Miao Ying be instantly aware of all the memes and try to run away from me?Time to find out. Gonna be fun.
>>583061456I just autoresolved and lost 90% of my army but killed snikch. Got his retarded trait too.Now I only have to worry about the other 99 armies he has by turn 10 which ignore the main mechanic of the campaign game which is seeing where they are so I don't know how to plan, skaven are so much fun.>>583061626That'd be useful if the AI didn't field 8 full stacks by this turn.
I have all of these and none of them count what the fuckGuess I'll just kill NAGASH and call it quits, what a bummer
>>583061073>not using tabletop caps
>>583058664He saw that he was part of an old prophecy about the end of the world written by a mad man who's prophecies usually come true. Then he spiralled.
>>583058664guide how to sodomize young choir boys
>>583062879I know archaon is probably older than most lore, but fantasy writers really need to stop with the whole self-fulfilling prophecy
I'm playing two campaigns at once because I can't decide between Nefertitty or Niggash and I just keep switching between them every few turns.
>>583058664
>>583063027>self-fulfilling prophecyArcheon actually has voice lines in the game about this meme something like>A prophecy once made must be broughtI know I have that wrong..
>>583052571>3 flopped because they openly changed the core gameplay to appeal to no one,dow 3 is interesting because dow 1 was great. dow 2 changed to appeal to a RTT audience. Then dow 3 changed BACK to appeal more to rts fans but leaned too hard into the commander units of dow 1.Ironically commander units in dow 2 were super strong too so it wasn't that huge a change.
>>583063506A prophecy once written must come true, or something. I really like his new lines about how close the end is. I just wish the end times had a little more gravitas.
Okay I've been away because of some weird internet thing where my IP but I think it's gone now so it's been awhile since the big end times DLC came up and a few updates without any mods but not enable an end times and all that which of the five new factions including the free one for vampires would you say would be the easiest campaign to have a long Victory condition by the end and but that does include mainly the hardness of the Early events campaign activity.
fun bro truly the videogame experience i want
I have never seen Gorbad not snowball out of control. I'd love to fight someone else for a change.
>*Casts warp lightning on your elite infantry*>*Activates Menace Below your archer and artillery crew*>*Does a gay lil dance that pisses you off*>*Repeats the above through the entire battle*How do you respond without sounding mad?
>gain a unique lord>it's just a level 10 generic lord with immortality, which it will get at level 20 anywaysFuck you CA.
>>583064828Yeah, that was really disappointing to see.
>>583064267Thanks anon I think that was it.
Anyone else play Todbringer and wonder why all the beast man event army has a beastlord that is unbreakable and does over 1000 melee damage? Dudes are destroying my front line and lords.
>>583066098RAA ROORAA ROORAA ROO
>>583066098the empire is supposed to be lame and raped
Which is the best faction to play on Tabletop?
>>583066098because the game is poorly thought out and poorly balanced
>>583066098I told CA it would be funny
>>583066523the most expensive one
I only play female legendary lords.
>>583066449I am just wondering if it's intended or a big honestly. Seems like the best thing to do is auto resolve them as auto resolve doesn't seem to take the boosted stats into account.
>>583066098Josh said it was a bug.
>>583066620me, impregnating all them
>>583066620I only destroy female lead factions
>>583066620They are fighting over me btw
>>583066626Bug not big I fucking hate my phone.>>583066727Thank you!
>>583066620feet
>>583066620Based
>>583066620It's sad how none of them can compete with Morathi.
I always force vassalize female faction leaders when possibleIt gives me a huge boner, I was playing Vilitch once and started jacking off looking at my vassalized Katarin fighting for me.Might be some sort of slaaneshi mental illness I have.
I'm playing nagash, how do I stop niggers constantly nipping at my feet while I'm doing stuff? I can't move enough armies around to protect my whole empire and the garrisons suck cock
>>583066618Mechanicus?
>>583066957nobody else is leaking northmen cum.
>>583066620same but unironicallyand i also only use female generic lords
>>583066098>>583066449>>583066575Anyone wonder why Empire players are so shit and bitchy and terrible at the game despite playing one of the most broken races with a top 3 tier technology tree?
>>583066620Yuri barkov fucked all of the btw
>>583066620Well, you're missing out since most of the fun and/or powerful lords are actually male.
>>583066727How does a bug that major pass QA
>>583067024By being good at the game
>>583066620same
>>583067024>I'm playing nagash, how do I stop niggers constantly nipping at my feet while I'm doing stuff? I can't move enough armies around to protect my whole empire and the garrisons suck cockNothing, this is great campaign mechanics per nagash niggers.
I love all the khorne players having to play a faction with actual mechanics like Undead Legions. They cant wrap their tiny grug brains around it
>>583067228>Bug exists>This is the players faultAre you terminally retarded?
>>583067378weird how there's gender bent skins of most charactersbut not karl franzcept those anime replacements
>never ever
>>583067584As if a beastlord with 1k damage cant be killed with the Empire. You are the same fuckwads that get Vlad nerfed
>>583067581The actual mechanics>Send LL spellcaster in>spam spells>profit
>>583067617female noctilus has some titties tho
>>583067742Where did I say he couldn't be killed?
>>583066620I wanted to start a genuine convo about how I can't immerse myself enough to play any female LL for long and shit, but looking at replies I realised you're just having a tranny parade here.
>>583067024you dont unfortunately. he doesnt make enough money
>>583067864Than stop fucking complaining dipshit
>>583067963>Makes shit up>Gets called out>W-WELL JUST STOP PLAYINGhow about you go suck start a shotgun.
>>583067024It's simple. Unless you abuse trading settlements the answer is you kill everything in that direction. The only allies you have are undead who are a bit rare and the games wants you to confed most of them.
The extra strong beastlords was clearly an intended feature to prevent you from easily killing the event armies with a single lord. Middenheim has plenty of slots, just build the garrison building.
>>583067920Literal skill issue
>>583068082Did I say this numb nuts?
do u use riflemen as boris or noti ain't buying an empire campaign if i ain't meant to use gunpowder
>>583068113>prevent you from easily killing the event armies with a single lord. Cool I will just auto resolve them then, good job CA.
>>583068291I don't play Empire
>>583066620If even a single female legendary lord was half as sexo as literally a single foid in this image Total War Warhammer would sell quadrillions. Alas..
>>583068364then i didn't ask ur opinionempire is my fav faction but it feels wrong to play em wo gunpowder
>HELF NATO surgically striking Mortarch's down in their little hidey holesThis was barely an end times event
If I gift my friend the chorf dlc will he be able to play IE without the base game or does that apply only to the End Times DLCs? Also is there an updated version of the DLC buying guide for 9.0?
>>583068459You can recruit gunpowder units as boris you gun autist.
Lore in the game says that the Cathayans were the ones who invented gunpowder weaponry.But I specifically remember that long time ago, in the times before TWWH, it was the dwarfs who held the credit.But I might be wrong and I want to ask the lore sages - is this "Cathay actually invented gunpowder first" a recent addition, or was it always like that and I just don't remember?
>>583068552>DLC buying guideThe fact this exists is grim. Could CA make their DLC any more confusing.
>>583068459You specifically asked me for my opinion.
>>583068590I thought it was the dwarfs as well.
>>583068291Middenheim is a large and cosmopolitan city, its forces use plenty of gunpowder and magic.
lol
>>583069013yeah but I thought boris' fantasy is that hes like a man of the forest that melee ambushes completely overturning the standard empire style
>>583068590>>583068913It was the Skytitans before the ogres ate them.
>>583068291I don't play empire so idk.
turn 20
>>583069667looks kino, what's the problem here?
>>583069028Hot
>>583069825>miao ying all the way down after playing merry go round with eshin>lokhir eating my eastern allies>2 chaos dwarf stacks>400 norscan stacks on their way>vilitch existing in my videogame

>>583070084Well? get to work then!Rally the chinamen and start killing stuff that's the fun part of the game.
>>583070229anon this is an issue of campaign movement rangeI cannot have my single stack everywhere at oncethe game is simply unfair
>>583057574Thank you very much, Anon. I appreciate all your help!>>583059809It still hurts.
>gorbad invades into imperial territory>have to push him out>vlad gets bold in the meantime so I have to divert my attentionI have leaving those wars unfinished. I know he's gonna quickly lick his wounds and bite at my heels again soon, but he's probably confedertated his way to the edge od the badlands by now. How do you deal with that without spending 1000 turns stomping out 100 little greenskin outposts?
why doesnt this go with sisters of avelorn? none of the gods buff them.
>>583070849minuscule videogame company please understand
>>583070849Spearmen and Archers are amazing and I love them.
Just do progamer moves (tm) with Miao Ying. Works only in higher difficulty (tested in VH) because lesser factions will feel more threatened.https://litter.catbox.moe/y1jggoo2ox97dggk.webm
>>583054315still have thanquol and Nagash to play. Nagash mainly for those flying monstrous infantry. dont really care about him. maybe he will surpise me. will see
>>583071205Last time I clicked a catbox link I got skaven porn, no thank you
>>583071205>rat porn webmthank you kind stranger
>>583071205insane micro
>>583071205Nice one, I'll try it next timeAlso I enjoyed the rat porn, thank you
>>583069028>>583070053Haha what if she got it from Morathi haha...
nah bro i need to delete this recruit legendary lords cheat. its getting ridiculous
My 'tism dictates that I cannot have a unit of White Lions (elf) without having a complimentary unit of White Lions (lion) to work in tandem The lions feel like they suck though
>>583067878What do you think about when you are playing a female LL?
>>583071205Impressive. Very nice.
>>583072121Not him but I think about this.Me being on the left obviously.
>>583072117the cats are pretty good, the elves are pretty awful, which is unfortunate cause the concept is great.
>>583072476Watch out anon, that's a felinid!
Is changeling AI still bugged so he just chills in the Empire doing nothing?
>>583072550Yeah the cats do a good job as like super attack dogs at leastMannfred committed suicide for no reason before his full army arrived, the Welves will be backing me up in no time before the lines meet.NAGASH is doomed
>>583072121I think that women shouldn't be leaders, because If I can't take them seriously, enemies for sure won't as well.
>>583072930But anon what if a woman could, quite literally, summon a meteorite that falls precisely on top of you?
>Vermintide armies just force march through everyone else's territory to attack me and the AI does nothing
whats the best turn # to start endgame crisis at? i feel that you are kind of unstoppable around 30ish
Celestial General models kind of feel out of place
>>583073316perfect fit for Cathay, then

>>583069090Wulfhart and his guys spend weeks or months away from resupply and so need simple weapons like bows. Boris and his guys are in more of a vietnam situation, they go out to patrol and do ambush and counter-ambush in the woods but are back in the city after a couple days at the most.

>>583074224did this guy mistake nestra for arahan
>>583074224I really like these two actually.
>>583074224Look, I don't always agree 100% with his face models, but we are blessed to have such an estemeed individual in our community.
>>583073151I tend to have it super late because I prefer map painting, so like 80~ for normal crisis and 100 for endgames

>>583074274there were no more to make vasall out of. My Vassals were to weak for Malus and demon Prince. bordering Archaon now(friend) and can sail over ti malakai und into kislev/empire. 2nd army, i let at home.My 3 Vassals were just so slow.. Blightkings unlocked. need just lvl 8 chosen.will only pick up Festus when i´m there

I would pay 40 winds of magic for a non-deteriorating version of the zombie dragon summon
>>583075709For me it's Gigi Murin!
>>583076065you say that like that's a hard bargain
Yeah I don't actually know if I can really do this fight with unit caps up unless there's some trick.All the lords just gang up on my lords/heroes or fly into my backline
>>583068552Read nigga readhttps://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs/114-total-war-warhammer-a-new-player-survival-guide-faqThey need to own a Lotet lord but after that they can buy and play whatever they like without having to own WH3.That saidWarhammer 3 is currently 10 bucks so you could just skip all this bullshit and buy the game outright.
WoC campaigns are so much fun until you have to start fighting overpowered 40 settlement order niggers spamming 7 stacks of skirmish cav and ranged units on you
Empire campaigns are so much fun until you have to start fighting underpowered 2 settlement chaos faggots spamming 7 stacks of chaos warhounds and marauder horsemen
>>583073070Hate when that shit happens
Licheeeeee prieeest....
Seriously how would I change this army to be better for the final Nagash battle?Am I better just sitting back and weathering the storm before pushing forward?
>>583077029Ashley wants an ele stack. Unless they got nerfed since I last played they're fucking stupid strong.
>>583077029hero stacks
>>583077029i would start with getting more sisters and getting rid of the loremaster since you already have the legendary hero as a duelist. i always have around 4-5 sisters per army but thats also because i mostly play alarielle and focus maxing ranged damage. sisters will absolutely melt anything with a focus volley.
WHY CANT COUNTS CONFEDERATE NAGASHLETMECONFEDERATENAGASHI DONT WANT TO PLAY HIS FACTIONI WANTY NAGASHY ANIMATIONSI DONT NEEDY THE POWERCREEPY
>>583077208Playing with unit caps, most I could get is three of them>>583077330Not enough heroes to do much good>>583077402I can drop the Oceanid for three more sisters but he's kind of powerful as well
>>583077029Try using a spellcaster with a good lore instead of a bad one
>>583077606>Playing with unit caps,
>>583077674Yeah he fucking sucks but switching one caster out for a good one isn't going to swing the tide of this>>583077698>Playing with doomstacksI know I'm boned
>turn on cock and ball torture mode>wtf why are my cock and balls getting tortured???????
>>583077475SITPON
>>583073934buggy, short, and it shifted mechanics/playstyle, which turned off those who liked the first game for what it was and was looking for a polish on the second game. The casual audience whose concerns they sought to address with the switch never showed up.
>>583077793I'm just asking for advice on how (you) would approach you nigger
>>583077606>Playing with unit caps
>>583073934It didn't flop, he's lying. 40k drones always buy the slop.
so nagash can give carronades grapeshotbut coast literally cant have it on their ownis TCA doing this on purpose?
>>583076319I think maybe replacing your lorthern sea guards with a mix of averlorne and some silverin, then using a light mage (very important) to net Nagash or an incoming lord might be useful.
>>583078223>Unit caps
>>583078223Am I schizo or did net used to make immobilized units invulnerable? I remember it being useful for guarding against cavalry charges primarily.
>>583075000You seen how tall they are?>>583077606If you have unit caps and the AI doesn't then all you can really do here is get better debuff mages and play hero hammer. A life mage, some nobles, and some Silverin or Phoenix guards can tarpit fuck up a lot of lords assuming you don't get Vortex'd or NAGASH'd
>>583078490It applies to the AI in general, but not for quest battles sadly.I think instead of levelling up a bunch a heroes I might just admit NAGASH won
I really enjoyed Dechala's campaign mechanics but I fucking hated playing in>C*th*yI wish her campaign mechanics were the standard Slaanesh economy, Masque and N'kari start in much more fun locations.I guess next time I'll spawn the random cult buildings and see if I can go anywhere fun instead.
>>583078302My bad anon, either way you need archers with better DPS or you simply need to engage in cheese. Have some cav or something engage their lords and kite them around for a few minutes>>583078449I think we might both be schizo, but if that's the case then it maybe be a good idea to replace with a shadow mage for speed and stat debuffs. Just shooting some options. Mist mages are cool and I like keeping my starting bro around, but they're pretty worthless as far as it goes for dealing with big single entities
>>583078597Many such cases>Gelt>Sniktch>Vilitch>Dechala>NakaiAll stuck in that shithole nobody cares about.
>>583078597You can be where masque is by turn 6 or so.
Such is the power of Nagash.
>>583078808Where's her big hat?
>>583078587Never quit anon, there's always options.>SEMs>higher tier frontline infantry>More Aislinn army buffs>Cycle charging>Kiting
>>583078176nagash just has better everything
>>583078808Now show us the real ingame model.
>>583078808you'd have to be subhuman to take the hat off
>>583078925With unit caps I can't afford to have a stronger frontline without sacrificing the backline, SEM's are limited, Aislinn is fully levelled and I have pretty much every tech.I'll give it another go, last time I split my army and vanguard deployed close to both points, I'll try a slow crawl
>>583078870Indeed, it isn't warhammer without big hats.
Neferata and Katarin have teamed up and are protecting the world from the chorf/arbaal alliance
>>583079128Believe me, I enjoy my 18 lorthern as much as the next guy but there's a reason they're t2 units instead of t3/4. Anyway, it sounds to me like your problem is coming from lacking army sustain so you probably NEED a life mage. Your backline here, outside of the sisters, are not so strong or so weak that you can't replace a few. You can ditch about 4 archers for a dedicated lord killing unit like Phoenix guards, grab a big fish monster or dragon to deal with all the chaff so your army can waste ammo on lords instead, and maybe superior spearmen to hold down anything that breaks on through. It might be a formation issue as well, but that's roughly all that I can tell you without seeing more of how you handle the battle. Regardless, you'll do wonders getting a superior buffing mage than the mistbro
>>583078870What hat? I do not recognise AoS in any fashion.>>583079126You are homosexual, kill yourself.>>583079025pic related
>faction that borders many other factions that hate them declare war on me>send multiple armies in force march said through factions territory that have over -200 relations with them>all to sack a minor settlement and not even take it>or to just stand around in my territory in raid stancethe game is so full of janky bullshit like this. anti player bias completely ruins the immersion
>>583078802Yea it's not hard to leave, either with the sea lane or cult teleport. I was going for the victory conditions on that run and was reminded of how much of a boring region it was. Haven't been there since I played Vilitch.>Snikch died before I even discovered him>Nakai died before turn 10>Killed Gelt in the first 10-15 turns>Allied LokhirSo I spent 60+ turns fighting Cathay for Ping Pong Village or Gai Man or Wei Long Wang or whatever these places are called. Got to fight Ghorst a few times and then Greasus in the very final turns to get his one province I needed but at that point I was just AR'ing everything to get it over with.
so if you play as karl franz now does toddy still get steamrolled by khazrak or can he handle himself now so you don't have to north
>>583079025>>583079846Forgot image, cause I am reading this thread, playing the game and working all at once. Almost sent the pic to a client in an email....
>>583079947Toddy's AI seems to be really good now
>>583079936Are the Dark Fortresses in Cathay at least as densely packed as the ones in Norsca/Empire?
>>583079947in my franz campaign boris is an unstoppable killing machine that took festus out and has already consolidated the entire northern empire and is pushing in to kislev territory to fight throt. he's winningelspeth is also spanking vlad. as franz i kind of have nothing to do

>>583080185a dick
>>583080063Haven't been there as WoC since before End Times, I assume there are more now. It was similar to the situation in the Empire previously, so not many.I did make Miao Ying's capital into a pleasure palace for RP reasons.
>>583080297kemmy is your first real enemy because he's pretty much guaranteed to declare war on you very early. usually i wipe him, sell off his towns to brett or whatever then head east for vlad but elspeth has been doing so well that i kind of just kept going and killed grom single handed. now i own most of luoens territory as well as fey who died pretty early on

>>583081931>Humiliating Skarbrand even further by forcing him to read books or have a wizardBased
Trying to find out from this nigga where his qt sister leaves. My plan is to build good relationship with him first, so she'll be more accepting of my SUPREMACY when we meet eye to eye.Then, my plan to colonise Cathay (and cathayan dragon pussy) will be in full motion...
i finished the short campaign victory for vlad, but holy fuck i dont know if i have the patience to actually to the long campaign victory let alone total domination

For the good of The Empire, of course.
>offer to trade a minor settlement>become my vassalGrimgor? What's going on bud.

>>583081931what was your early game strat for archaon? i can't work out which direction to go in without getting raped by either boris, tamurkhan or arbaal
>>583083732warhammer needs a diplomacy overhaul it's too easy force agreements with trading settlements.
>>583084006Go west, deal with Boris, then go East if you dont want to wait for a Kairos confed
>>583083818This. I refuse to exploit it but 99% of the playerbase does not have that self control.
>>583072050I think it's fine if you have discipline, because due to LL bloat it can often lead to never having a non legendary lord. But I can see wanting one or two for flavor.>>583058664While as simple as seeing himself as the everchosen, I can buy an idea that he saw the absurdity of existence in that world. That if he didn't become the lord of end times someone else would be and there would be no escaping from the laughter of thirsting gods. Since his over-arching goal seems to be a nihilistic end of existence to thwart the Chaos gods. Realizing>It doesn't matter what you do, this world is going to be unending wars against chaos that ultimately lead to its victory over and over and over.All you could do in that situation is either:>Kill yourself and admit defeat>Fuck you I'll play along with your prophecy and then destroy the bhavacakra so this sick and twisted game ends>>583058360Based, though you'll need to do a major northern journey to icelands to pull that off.
fighting the lizards as naggash is so fucking fun
>lore of nehekara any of these mages worth recruiting in nagash's armies with all the other lores available?
Reminder that you can STILL get a faction that hates you to break all of their treaties with their friends, for free.
>>583084626Nehekara lore is getting updated in 7.1 or something, whatever patch we are on it'll be x.05 or x.1. Right now it's ass.
>>583084626Nehekhara sucks. Especially because Kangs get Death, Undeath, Light and Shadow all of which are great.
>>583084006I rushed tamurkhan and used him to fight boris while archaon went east
>>583084473did you take arbaal on the way east? or did you >go straight for tamurkhan>south for kholek>double back up through chorf territory for arbaalbecause i tried that and arbaal was far too powerful to take on by that point. i think he was like strength rank 2

>>583083818Many are saying this, i've never abused the AI like that, not that it matters but i've also never cheesed the enemy ammo via dodging with a hero. L*gend has done both of these things and has even exploited a bug to conquer the entire map in a single turn.
>VCoast still have the old raise deadThank god they don't give a fuck about this race.
how do i get perfect vigor onto nagash
>>583085472I think you gotta pay the seasoned campaigner tax
Settlement trading is fine. If you don't like it, don't use it. Single player games don't need nerfs.
I love caravan battles so much
>>583086014Nobody is saying this
>>583085295Cheese is required on the highest difficulty sliders. Study game theory.
It isn't in need of "nerfs" it's in need of FIXING. It is an EXPLOIT. NOT a feature
>>583052668neferata interacts negatively with my autismvampires as a faction want to take lots of settlements, since their unit availability is tied to that. but if i'm making super secret diplomacy covens in other peoples' lands and manipulating them, i feel like i should be a secret mastermind sitting inconspicuously on just a few provinces and making everyone do my bidding for me. it just doesn't fit together with my autism the way that tzeentch does (all your neighbors hate you and your manipuations exist to force them to deal with more immediate problems while you do what you need to do)
why are these 2 always unchecked?
>>583086119I am saying this
>>583086434I stand corrected
>>583086169Not true.
I hate modern Total War design so much.Why is that every Lord must have his own little retarded cheat panel, insted of the whole faction getting everything?Like, why only Gelt has Colleges of Magic? Why can't Franz do the same shit? Let Gelt keep some unique/extra powerful stuff for flavour, but college of magic is in fucking Altdorf. Franz should have access to it. Preferrably, together with a training mechanic from the Ice Court.Also Empire should have caravan mechanic, there's no reason why not. Loyalty mechanic too - why is it exclusive to Skaven, Delfs and Vcoast? And lots more stuff. (Empire was just an example, it's not an Empire rant, fuck off)
>>583086227No idea. Probably because Purple Hand will eventually be under every settlement in the game and Crimson plague has a 0.01% chance of infecting every city and army with a plague simultaneously.

>>583067617There was one for TWW2, but the chinese mod makers make him into a twink instead.
>>583086851bro you're dumb. sorry
>>583086885>>583086957>Unit pathingI instructed units to attack a gate.They all ran up to it and stopped doing anything.Then the entire enemy army ran and hugged the gate from the other side, so no one was doing anything but standing around this fucking gate.Two pit of shades stacked on top of each other put an end to that, but I haven't seen bugs like that in a good long while before 9.0
>>583086957Kind of, but not really. You need bazillion mods, lots of them contradict each other, not to mention balance becomes completely fucky.This is something that should be intentionally implemented by devs from the start.

>>583086885Walls are terrible but what's even worse is when you have a snaking path that has multiple hard anglesHonestly everyone should just use a mod that turns all sieges/minor sieges into field battles, sieges are so FUCKEDand even though they're so fucked they advantage the player so much because the AI becomes passive in sieges, it lets you pick your battles to an absurd degree, it just sits there and lets you defeat it. I question why am I even dealing with this shit when I can just turn it off, what the fuck am I getting from it? Fuck. I'm installing that mod now.
>>583086227Those two are quite ass
>>583086882>>583086227The super plague cannot be stopped without research/buildings.It has 100% infection rate and 0 turns of immunity.Also unlike other plagues it has a 1% chance to just delete units and characters.So eventually everything that isn't nurgle just dies.
is there a way to get vanguard deployment for aspiring champions

>Best move for Miao Ying is to ally with ZhatanCA needs to fix this game
Over 100 turns into my campaign and I noticed it was getting hot in my room. CPU was reaching nearly 80 degrees. It never gets that hot. Not sure if it was the update and an out of date save with mods or maybe I just really need to clean the dust out.

No really, this isn't funny any more.When are they reworking daniel?
Yuan Bo, the Jade Dragon, commissioned and appointed generals from all across Cathay to spearhead his great northern expansion. These fearless men, leading mighty cohorts of Celestial Dragon Guards, would conquer and secure swaths of land from the neighboring nomadic tribes and was thus established as the Grand Beichui Protectorate; a pocket region in the northern chaos wastes dotted with massive Cathayan town-forts. For their brave service in securing crucial military outposts outside the Great Bastion, and therefore pacifying the north, Yuan Bo and the Celestial Court showered the generals with lavish accolades, estates within Wei-Jin, and appointed them as the Protector-Princes of Beichui. The irony, however, is that these men would never enjoy these gifts nor see Cathay again, as the ongoing civil war had strained communication at the Great Bastion due to being contested by the forces of Nan-Gau and the Celestial Loyalists. Chaos warbands, like the imminent Hung tribes, eventually encircled and cut off their only passage back to Cathay. In 3277 IC, the Monkey King and the Skaven clan Eshin sacked and seized the capital, severing the few remaining Beichui garrisons from Cathay completely, where they were separated by thousands of miles with no hope for reinforcements. When Xen Yang, the Celestial Dragon Emperor, finally returned to reclaim the throne, the Grand Beichui Protectorate was no more. Years later, a caravan hand found the remains of a messenger bird by the Turtle Gate, with a bleached letter attached to its feet. Though the letter seemed faded and crumbling, it was still intact and carefully taken to Wei-Jin after a Lord Magistrate had recognized the seal.

Hardest campaign at the moment?I want to slog it out for a bit until The Old World is updated

>>583093626Try an easy campaign, but make it "this is total war" (you declare war on all factions the turn you meet them)

is it bad to loot and occupy every place i go to as vampires or should i just be raising or sacking a bunch of places
>>583077606>tabletop caps Mine was working when the patch released but yesterday it just fucking died mid-campaign. Don't know what that's about but I hope it gets resolved soon. This game is awful without caps.

>>583094597kinda just hoping the heresy is a possible endgame crisis.
>>583094870There is no benefit to razing settlements, you want even the shitty ones to send bodies back to the capital, you also get some province commandements that give you stuff like blood or research speed for owning an entire province.

>>583098101what else did he ask for
>>583095759I actually appreciate that they didn't do the obvious hamfisted thing and make the celestial dragon that Sigmar encounters in AOS the emperor, or even make it so Sotek was the emperor or something. It's nice that the emperor is ultimately an antagonistic force to the rest of ordertide. It kind of feels like it was a shot in the dark by GW to see if China would really bite or not. If they did I'd expect a bigger presence for Cathay in TOW or in a new AOS form but as they didn't Cathay is just another player rather than a competitor for the empire/elf focus orderwise.>>583089116You learn to always garrison a nice killy unit by the artillery for that reason.>>583088575I got a 9800X3d and at firs tthe high ass temps freaked me out but now I get used to it. Everything I read says it is meant to play hot and unless I get some super airflow CPU or AIO it'll be a bit toasty with my noctua. Helldivers was the only thing to ever reach 90C and that was briefly, with 100C being the immediate aggressive throttling.Long as I am blogposting I love my fractal design 7. A fucking Case that doesn't have glass I have to cover to stop reflecting the monitor or getting RGB-spammed. Just a nice monolith.

Can the Glotkin confederate Festus with the Archaeon method of taking his last settlement? What about Belakor or Archaeon himself?
>>583083380khalida but you have to declare war on dwarves lizards and rats turn 1
>>583098180qrd? The lore I was referencing was old WH lore, from before WH3 Cathay was created. I only supplanted the dragon children civil war because that's the new lore that GW added in recent years to explain what was happening in Cathay during those years. Kind like how GW got rid of Yin-Tuan and made it so that Yin-Yin was the one who personally went on the Southlands expedition.
>>583098317It's WHFRPG stuff, but yes.
>>583098256you fucking chud
>>583086882Purple hand doesn't seem too bad, i assume it's jsut cumulative across campaigns where when it hits the max count you get a campaign where all but your settlement is Tzeentch. as it is giving that 9 bonus across the board and arcane surge isn't so big of a deal.I'm never doing crimson plague though that sucks. It ought to be you have to find some settlement that has ishas tears to build a landmark to stop the plague. >>583098519All that really matters is the dragon emperor and his half-moon children are disdainful of Western dragons for letting elves (or humans) ride them. The dragon emperor wants to move the world into a further away orbit as it was before the Old Ones came and moved it closer to the sun to get rid of the ice age. Because prior to that warming of the planet there wasn't any Chaos and chilling the planet would kill off the mortal races that fuel Chaos. The Moon Queen is some enigmatic 'not a dragon, not clear what her shapeshifting species even is'.It looks like I am basing that on speculation rather than solid proof though, and my recollection was wrong. I like the mystery of the dragon empress being some strange lunar shapeshifting creature who is a mystery, it's got that "There's more to the world than just chaos" to it. And the dragon emperor being a pompous ass compared to the more gracious and humble Western dragons is also neat.

They and their mates doxed the guy then harassed him in real life via work and family/friends spam calls and emails.Originally SFO was just a compilation of other mods and maintained and forced to work with each other. It was a side project, no patreon or other bullshit. Only pre req was no armoured slayers. Some fag made a Empire race swap mod and got mad SFO refused to add it in. It was stated outright it was unloreful by SFO and that is where it should have ended. They doxed the guy, found out he supported Trump instead of Hillary (This was all in 2016), and that was enough to damn him and they LITERALLY demanded he hand over control of SFO for it. When he told them to fuck off the real life harassment started and the guy almost lost his job.
>>583106852NahI gotta do some more modding later.>>583106806There are a thousand stories but once there was this fallout modder Elianora who makes furniture.. the cunt was involved in lots of drama and was all over reddit and jewtubers had melty and made a thousand videos.. all because her mods got reuploaded.. and bethesda selling mods.Gemini can tel u more.

>>583107640Elianora was some woman failure who started modding the player houses in skyrim by just filling them with clutter. her 'mods' got popular and the dumb bitch thought she was a minor celebrity. Developed a massive ego and got made people used her 'assets' and 'work' (which was just repurposed assets she bought or stole herself) and had a tantrum and the trannies at nexusmods literally went to bat for her as if she was a monarch that had been 'offended'.Meanwhile Trainwiz kept uploading edits of trains mocking them outright and not caring what people did and they guy literally made models and textures and animations from scratch for his train autism. he was making DLC sized mods and whole new quest chains and actually respectable, near professional work while Elianora was putting static flowerpots and furniture in 'homes'.
which graphics options do i change to make loading and end turn times faster
>>583103824it is good for auto resolve, vampires unfortunately do need a fairly mixed army with around 4+ heroes to do well
>>583107586What the actual FUCK? Lmao.
I can understand modders losing their minds. A huge part of modding is tenacity. Being willing to put up with the shit scripting APIs, no documentation, random crashes. Claude does that without breaking a sweat. And we're still in the Moore's Law phase in a way. Can't do it now? Wait a few months, try the next model. Back in the day, working on a Warhammer 2 mod to create better late game battle setups took me about a hundred hours. That was mostly dealing with lua / api / crashes / loads, over and over. Doing the same mod today would be comically easy. I've got it currently working on a mod that strips back the campaign layer to a simple slay the spire knockoff with custom battle setups instead of boring autogen campaign battles. I think at this point I'm in the fatalistic death cult phase of acceptance. Is that the Nick Land position? Technology was just using us to birth itself, now we're getting fucked by cosmic tentacles or whatever.
>>583107586kek I if used r*ddit this would be a perfect moment to call Venris a faggot
>>583106852BASED BASED BASED
I want the landmarks for nagash but only mod for it adds 3 slots to your minor settlements and apparently buffs the necropolis tooI don't want such OP cheet I just want bugfix.>>583105679Besides the bullshit documented with a coup d'etat the only area I really support taking your shit private is if someone is monetizing off your work, and in that situation getting steam or the developer to go after their ass for paid modding is better recourse. What I really can't stand is the melodrama of a modder taking their stuff due to some culture war self righteous reason. It's insane how much mods in FFXIV disappear in the span of ~4 years because of this temper tantrum or that temper tantrum.It'll be like "GlubbShitto said a slur in discord I am now going to take down all my mods and make sure nobody gets to use them because I won't condone racism and if I let glubbshitto use my frilly dress in a screenshot I'm enabling hate.">>583108303When people use Claude are they using the desk top agent thing or just throwing a spreadsheet/LUA into the client and asking it to fix/compile/do whatever? Frankly I'll probably give it a try when I have to populate the spreadsheets for Pharaoh because christ alive I do not want to have to do that for every single sheet for every new unit, but at the same time I don't trust it to not fuck up somehow.
>>583108014Thanks Gemini.I think I once used a mod of hers because it was a player home in some weird ass location that was really helpful. Most of her stuff is absolute trash tho..I loved when she bigly announced she worked on Starfield cause she got hired and nobody gave a fuck and that game sucked ass..
>>583108615Why are so many modders so mentally ill
>>583108615Use Claude Code or Claude Desktop (which is a fancy GUI around Claude Code, and gets more love these days). It'll write up tools, scripts, hooks, whatever it needs to do whatever you want. I just give it RPFM source code to program against.
>>583108303>Being willing to put up with the shit scripting APIs, no documentation, random crashes. Honestly, that frustrating part is a core personality trait you develop as a modder, especially when learning to mod requires you spending a massive amount of time reverse engineering scripts and data tables to learn what each does before you can figure out what you want your mod to actually do.And besides, the vast majority of modders are kitbashers or outright thieves who reuse existing assets or worse, take other people's mods and claim them as their own by adding a few tweaks here and there.Modders imo have no ground to stand on while claiming that AI is bullshit for reusing assets when that's what modders also do, and I say this as a fellow modder who has been modding games for over a decade. It's really funny when these people start moralfagging about IPs and copyright.
>>583108702Many reasons and remarkably not necessarily related to current day pathologies. Darth(Mod) was rather weird back in the day, the first mod I worked on as a young lad had the main texturer throw a tantrum and want to leave and forbid us to use his shit until the place we were at (Total war center) said "Nah they can use it get bent". And that guy was a Gen X maybe even boomer married guy. Fundamentally the amount of time you spend tinkering with a mod requires a screw loose to do it. I've spent lots of time over the years on mods that may never or were never released, which I gave up on and passed to others - if you've played any R2/attila mod excluding The Bronze Age one, 1212AD or Last Days odds are they use some of my shit - and I question the time I spent on my Pharaoh project may be a waste of time when I am not sure I'll finish it. In some ways it is a waste of time, but it's also no more a waste of time than painting miniatures (costs far less/nothing too), putting together gunpla, painting a painting, gardening or other creative exercises. I kinda view it like writing a really complex fiction/fantasy/sci-fi story: If you were entirely mentally sound, you'd be a normalfag doing normalfag sociable things. Granted now they're fucked up by social media or brainless media slop too but you get the idea. Intensely focused creativity inherently requires some degree of autism. Or if you were smart you'd be actually doing a professional game, even indie game, rather than doing modding for free. Like if I knew how to texture better than kitbash recolor/retexture CA's own shit then I would be more interested in doing indie work.Frankly that's the only real regret I have modding wise - I've always done kitbashing for so long that I've never learned how to texture from the ground up.
>>583109660It's never too late to start booting up blender anon, but honestly I'm in the same path as you. I've spent too much of my workflow method on kitbashing, including making UI art, that I find it hard to creat new things from the ground up. Even when prompting, I often get frustrated that the results aren't what I want and I just go to google and kitbash a bunch of pictures together instead.

>>583110892Confederating Arkhan early rapes your economy and Repanse will immediately declare war on you. You're going to have enough problems early (Settra, Skarbrand and Volkmar) so wait until he finishes her off or you're more stable.
It's funny to me that GRRM was totally right about Nagash.

>>583111972They hated him because he said the truth
>>583109086I'll look into that, thanks.>>583109894I was tempted to try the substance modeler since blender feels exhaustingly byzantine in its functionality, but I might give it a go in the future as there's certain helmets I wouldn't mind having, which I could achieve by twisting and adjusting a current conical model. The chief issue, and this is where I think AI is so appealing to people, is too little time and too much to do. Which is precisely why I will use it for LUA since (A) The old LUA tutorials for Attila/R2 era are +10 years old and dead/dying links or on discord's atrocious searching (B) If I am learning any code it's going to be python for work rather than LUA for a hobby (C) When can I learn LUA when I also have to do XYZ ABC 123. But at the same time if I rely on vibe coding I am in real mortal danger of slop and SNAFUs as happens with some vibe coding, so I plan to try and limit only to reasonable, low level and simple things like swapping units, spawning armies, and so on. With UI art you shouldn't beat yourself up as very often it's all or nothing, you have to either match the existing UI or completely overhaul it, so it makes more sense to kitbash there. >>583110892I have to double check but I heard you make the 2nd currency by fighting in the realm of the dead, which is any province you nuked into undeath climate AND the neighboring provinces. Check and see if you get the 2nd currency doing that. If so, strategize around that, the 2nd currency is usually the harder one to get.

>>583060210>>583060345>>583060509For a faction that is so ugly, dirty, evil, selfish, and irredeemable they sure are a popular faction in-game and in the tabletop.I guess they are pretty funny and kind of cute. like goblins but with more fur >>583060509Are Skaven chaos-aligned in WHF lore? I thought that was only an Age of sigmar thing where the horned rat becomes the Great Horned Rat and becomes 5th wheel to the chaos gods.
>>583118281>>583117809The problem with 30k is that it's a separate product line, and like any company that hoards IP like gold, GW does not want product lines mixing as it muddies the waters for licensing deals.
>>583119029In lore anything involving weird animals is chaos aligned.Skaven have always worked with chaos because they hate order that much.
Were the Glottkin the least popular of the DLC lords? it seems everyone was excited for nagash and thanquol, Borris a bit too for the new units but I rarely see or hear Glottkin being discussed
>>583119279He's basically just Ku'Gath in WoC, hard to get excited over
just remembered I bought that bundle and never played Empire or Rome 2 or Napoopan
>>583119279Nurgle fatigue was real by the end of End Times.TW has now achieved it as well.GW tends to force one Chaos God down everyone's throats for a number of years then switches to a new one once the last one's models stop selling.
>>583110685Med2 modding my beloved.Though I didnt learn much else than adding units to factions and changing their stats along with recruiting times
>>583118815S2 is very good
>Thankquol campaign mechanicswhat the fuck am i doingSpecific question:>complete mission: Steal the plan-prints and Remind them of their placehow. where. what is this? I can't find this mission in the mission menu. I need it to build the landmark building in zuffbar.
>>583120004its' bugged
>>583119279I'm playing Archaon + Get Glottkin early(Ideally). Probably better than mono Woc and hopefully the stuff Archaon got for end times uniques are worth it. Also incredibly far from Nagash hopefully Settra doesn't bone him before I get there (next year considering he still can't warp like belakor)
>>583118815>the chad insurrectionWhy don't more people do this in real life?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanquism
How much would people complain if the AI could use magic well? You already see so much whining over Skaven Warp Lightning, and it’s not all that strong of a spell in the grand scheme of things.
>>583120298They already use magic well because I don't dodge them.
>>583120298The AI already uses magic about as well as the average player tho.
Skaven are RAPED and obviously need buffingNagash is 50/50 or maybe 60/40 in Nagash's favourBut does the AI ever actually do anything against End Times Archeon? They fold like paper against him in every run I see, often not even taking out a single stack
>>583120004It says skavenblight u dumb
Vlad's armies have been bringing a haunter in every stack and they're pretty fucking spooky, must have unspottable instead of stalk because even kiting with two outriders they keep disappearing
>>583119279Glottkin were always hated back in Warhammer. A bunch of random nobodies given crazy superpowers who kill half the world in End Times. Who likes something like that?
She is pretty but uh.. I feel like this is the same old zombie stack campaign. But I'm only 5 turns in rn. Maybe it gets exciting?
>>583120004>what the fuck am i doingMAKING SHITLOADS OF MONEY>specific questionDo scheme on skavenblight
Okay, Legend, I am sure pretending to quit Total War forever and Gardening was fun. But now it's time to go back.

>>583121218>1 billion barrels of beerSomething about that number isn't correct
>>583121329>what schemeThe blue schemeGet the engineer underling, upgrade his econ and upgrade Thanquol's econ, then spam steal scheme on rich settlements, you will make like 30k each time
>>583121329How would I know? My campaign is on turn 120 or so. I just remember getting the quest, it saying skaven blight, and then I marched a hero over there to discover skavenblight.

>>583121405thank you thank you>>583121568i aint got no quest yet but ill keep an eye out
>>583121405>spam steal scheme on rich settlementsdoes it have diplomatic penalties?
>>583120298You've clearly never fought high ranked Vampires or GreenskinsThe amount of times you'll see spirit leech spam, brunja devastating an elite unit, or a well dropped black sun is insane.The fact Curse of Years silences now is something people usually learn from first hand experience.
>>583121993Who cares, it has infinite range so you can scout out some high value settlements far away with a hero and they can't do shit to you.Ghorst's starting settlement is really good, so are the athel loren settlements.
>>583120829Yeah they can skill into it.Don't remember if it's Nagash only or general, but they can also have spooky unspottable crypt ghouls/horrors and mournghouls now too.Didn't realize I spec'd into that while half asleep until I sent a suicide squad of ghouls into a fight and the enemy didn't see them until they were in charge distance.
>tech: researched>wind of death: skilledZOOOMMMBIIIEESSSIt's gayming time.
>>583120298I suck so much the AI is better at using the unit buff spells than I am
>>583122280Shambling Vanguard is more fun
>>583121218>That many kegs being produced by turn.>0% export, less than 150 income.>This anon's dawi are shitfaced 24/7 and the number one cause of death is alcohol poisoning.
>>583122280This is even more boring than SEU spam
>>58312232890% of the time the best way to use buff spells is to not use them. You will get vastly more value from your winds by casting damage spells.
>>583122280That tech is not as good as the others, because you can just instantly raise a full stack of Zombies on the campaign map whenever you want, doesn't matter if you won a fight or lost a fight.
>>583122452The only way this trash faction can be played.Tho I'll have to stack 19 heroes for whatever endgame scenario triggers.
>>583122193Strigoi bloodline lords get armywide stalk
>>583120967I'm doing my second Neferata campaign now because my first I played the same way I play Vlad and Kemmler (hyper aggressive, loads of raiding and sacking, having 30 t3 settlements before any settlement has enough pop to get to T4).That campaign was the usual t1 spam at first, but then around the time I noticed that my hero cap was a lot higher than expected due to the vampire building being t2 now, I started spamming vampires and upping my lahmian handmaiden pool and had entire stacks of handmaidens with supporting units running around.End game feels very different than it used to as well, didn't need to rely as much on reinforcement armies.This play through I'm purposely going slow and just taking out the Chaos dwarfs around me, while building loads of Covens.My economy is a lot weaker, but my four armies (Neferata with handmaidens, Blood Dragon with a handful of mixed knights and graveguard, lahmian with more handmaidens and skeletons, and necromancer with just zombies), are keeping my borders safe while every faction I don't like is stuck in fifty forever wars because I'm already at 300 max manipulation and have two covens that I'm waiting to build up.When Skarbrand was about to kill Nagash I assassinated him and then caused him to be at war with Queek (strength rating 1), and now Skarbrand is almost dead and Nagash is doing fine.When the entirety of the Empire was teamed against Vlad I did the same there killing Karl and Elspeth and forced them to war against each other.I would have preferred to make them war against the glottkin who are eating the Empire, but dice weren't on my side there.
>>583122517I re-raise my zombies every turn already, your argument is nonsense. Getting to raise them has nothing to do with making em immortal tanks.
>>583122854I played with the handmaidens years ago, they don't interest me much anymore.I did notice just now that economy is absolutely useless here cause I raise without money.. and an entire army costs 600bucks. It's turn 10 and I'm raising my 3rd army rn.I think if I throw all those grave guards away, I could raise a 4th army.
>>583122517>That tech is not as good as the othersCorrect, it's better than the others.
Spray away, babe~
How do I stop playing woc? And Archaon specifically.>try high elves. I could be playing woc right now. >try demons? Woc is basically the same but I get to end the world>festus, valkia? I should just grab them as archaon.>dark elves? Those are just a side faction>greenskins are just woc without the edgeI am starting to get the same feeling with Nagash where other undead are just discount Nagash.Empire is fine though I can tolerate empire sometimes. Other human factions feel pointless though.
>>583123676You figured out this game is about the Empire and Chaos basically
>>583123676THIS... but.. Skaven..
>>583123676The Druchii are the most important faction in Warhammer.
3 randos downloaded my Thanquol mod. I'm a celebrity now.
>>583123180Handmaidens are the new units.Though yeah, spamming armies with corpses (and later blood once I was making 3k+ per turn after deductions) does allow you to go super hard on the old play style.
wtf arent those the wrong vampires?
>>583124396Factions are surprisingly good at moving around. Aislinn can show up all sorts of places.
>>583124396wtf lol i have never seen this before
>>583124163male
>>583124396>the fuck timmy gon' ACK!
This seems a little absurd. 3 armies by turn 14 and shitloads of income.. >>583124383Nah anon, those have existed for a decade in some extended roster mod which I used. CA's version is nearly identical.I can AR everything rn cause I got 3 fkn armies even if just zombies. The sheer mass makes this easy mode.
Do simps really pass on this?
>>583124636It's only for 15 turnsNot worth
>>583122440For some reason dwarf beer is almost worthless
>>583124636control basically doesn't matter
>>583124636yesUlrika is a miracle of the universe
>>583124681Why didn't they make it permanent? It's an odd choice.
>>583124636Yes, duh
>>583124636>ControlWorthless, any settlement that was gonna reach 0 without that had way bigger problems than a +10 control, and any settlement that wasn't gonna reach 0 without it doesn't need it.>GrowthIt's alright, but not for just 15 turns. If it was permanent, I'd think about it.I don't know why you're pretending this is invaluable in exchange for a LH, it's really kind of shit.
>>583124879>why are they incentivizing people to play with the shiny legendary hero rather than incentivizing them to stack a generic buff?I don't know anon, truly a mistery.
>>583124636>Gotrek, Felix, Ulrika>A wizard renamed to MaxI could never think of a close enough character to map onto any of the Empire Lords to complete the kino, if they'd given us Wizard Lords instead of wolf-flavored Generals then he could be Max instead
>>583125015>>583124790Control is just extra growth silliesSome miasma casting foid is as good any other unit
>I get the entire income of Zhar Naggrund for doing absolutely nothing. It gives me 2k income. That's 3 new zombie armies.It's free zombies.
>>583125610I love covens bro. Finally an economically viable way to play tall.
>>583125802The funniest thing is that the AI can't attack them and Zhar Naggrund also never attacks so I can just milk em forever.
I TOOK SKAVENBLIGHT AND KILLED IKITFUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU IKIT!!
I dont understand why would anyone like archaons campaign more than belakor. You can genuinely do whatever you want with belakor but archaon just has to play the normal game
still waiting for the update fixing the campaign crashes
>>583125954Bless the great horned rat for giving skaven such birthing hips.
>Research Sylvanian Garrisons for Vampire Counts>You now have a second garrison building that adds four ranged units to your garrison>If you don't build the first building you don't get the rest of the garrison though, so you have to use two building slots for the research to do anything worthwhileHoly fuck is that a waste of a bloodrite.
>>583125995ca can’t update your mods
>>583126302vanilla thobeit
>>583126297>create an objectively better garrison system for ogre camps>refuse to use that for the rest of the game because you think it makes ogres unique to have a functional version of a baseline featurejust CA things
>>583126513huh yeah it would be kind of cool to have a budget and custom garrison
Lahmian handmaidens are the unit I always wanted to have with VC.
>>583126513Lots of times in lots of campaigns I'd wished I could dedicate more of a settlements slots to just making it a harder nut to crack, every race should give you the option of dedicating a whole settlement to just being a fortress
Did you know that in multiplayer campaign you're not allowed to name characters and settlements using profanity?Shit, Skank, even Poop is not allowed.
Did you know this game has multiplayer
Imrik thought he'd win. He did not expect 5 million immortal zombies.
>>583127214holy vamp sexo
Spent all day playing THanquol again..Now what...
>>583127214I don't get why people do this with their main army, vampires are fun when played as a rush faction using their monsters and cavalry (and now the absolutely busted Lhamian infantry unit).I get giving the zombie stack to some random necromancer lord, obviously, but why make the game more boring for yourself otherwise?
>>583105679do it pussy, you wont be missed attention whore
>>583127583You are not very smart, are you?Forcing your own opinion on others and then playing confused is the dumbest thing ever.I think your playstyle is boring and inefficient. What now? Gonna wet yourself?
>>583105679kek this polack threw a melty cause he cant act like a jewish faggot to fish for donation anymore after people had enough and fixed the mod themselves
>>583113504there is button to highlight the the region newfag
>>583126938The problem is that the AI would just then never attack it.You could do something like this with WRE in Attila, set up walled minor settlements with 20 unit garrisons. It just breaks the AI, because if they can't auto resolve your frontline settlements and can't bypass them, then they just don't do anything at all.The AIs pathing relies on it seeing through the fow and picking out a weak backline settlement to mindlessly sprint towards. It's the bumbling into your armies on the way there that creates the illusion that the AI is doing anything at all.
someone explain why chinks are so into this
>>583128016>people into ip of their own country??
>>583127137YeahAbout to get a session cancelled because playing Mannfred has one of the mates contemplating ending it all
>>583127821>What now?Well you have terrible taste, clearly.
>>583128016Chinks have like 3 IPs they enjoyThree KingdomsMonkey Kingand Ne Zha
>>583127981I remember reading that they had to script the AI to see the Empire fortress cities as unthreatening little dinky towns because otherwise they just refused to engage them
>>583127214Here's something I've been enjoying with new Vamp CountsResearch that gives a random crypt in the world and control of itResearch a level 30 Lord with level 30 necromancer + random army + corrupted bloodline + keep the cryptTook a lot of time/blood to make, but once he was done, I created him, and just had him create a satellite colony. The first time I did this was in Lustria, second campaign it was in eastern Cathay's pirate isles or whatever the fuck.Made rapid and aggressive expansion a lot faster/easier when I was doing it in two different parts of the world at once.
fuck this game man
>>583128346Retreat distances should be subtracted from the army's next movement turn if they can't stop crap like this happening
>>583128346AI used to be forced to fight you if they cant retreat in old total wars... now they just cheatius maximus
In what situation should I avoid spreading my units into lines? I understand that columns are more likely to stop infantry, but is it possible for a low-tier unit to turn into a square to better slow down a higher-tier unit while another unit flank them?
>>583128346When the AI pulls off a ridiculous cheat with retreating I teleport them back to me with console commands. Fight fire with fire.
>>583128346Not fast enough.
>>583128346This shit will never not be funny to meThe world freezing and your lord looking like a retard while the other guy just scoots away in frozen time, then the dumbfounded little step you take afterwards, handcrafted to make you feel humiliated for even trying
>>583128136You weren't supposed to actually wet yourself.>>583128303Very interesting idea but I'm currently farming all the rat alliances. I'm aiming to become queen of rats and then send my vermintide to niggash.
>>583127821you are clearly have dogshit taste like other anon said.
>>583128859Don't samefag, it's cringe and pathetic and only done by miserable losers. You're not a miserable loser and a virgin, are you?
How fitting, the mega landmark place has a lair..Tho I have yet to use a lair. They seem extremely useless. Just a resource sink.

>>583128346>>583129562how is this even allowed
>>583128523not that many instances in the for it really. but yeah to slow down units, make it easier for ranged units to hit theirs, and if the AI was competent to avoid getting your shit destroyed by wind spells.
>>583129720Ha, I see. Thanks, I wondered if I was missing something or not. Turns out not really.

>>583131843not until t5. so about 40 turns in.
>>583131843They're fun to fight. Just a bunch of medieval guys
>Vampire Counts>Add Vampire hero into every stack for the replenishment>Necromancer hero for the Reanimation>Lahmian Vampire hero for the Increase Mobility>Wight King hero if stacking grave guards>Replace the Lahmain with a Banshee hero if it's a Stalking armyOnly hero I just don't see the use of is Mournguls.
>>583131843How new?It really depends on how much you personally fuck with the fantasy of Bretonnia.The roster is mostly ass and only worth using for flavour, it's also small, boring. Compared to more modern factions the mechanics are more like obstacles than anything else, they're tedious and extremely undertuned, they feel like time wasters where the only real reward is that you get to kind of play the game without getting debuffed.The cav is still good and fun and so is the lord spam imo, and the aesthetics are of course top notch. I think they're actually a better fit if you want to play 'regular humans' as well.If you're not already a fan looking at their shit you probably won't be one after playing them in game.
Now THIS is total WAR
>>583132739>lord spam>funlol
ZOOOOMBIIIEEESSS
>>583132795Raise them! Kill them!
>>583132720Mournguls are beasts in combat even at level 1
>>583124636>>583124838Whenever I use her, she always dies really fast if I'm not microing her well. I honestly don't know how to use her aside from a penumbral pendulum or pit of shades bot.I mostly recruit her as malakai. How should I be specc'ing her? I don't what her niche is. Would speccing her into melee be "good money chasing bad money?" I know it's a skill issue so I could use some tips here bros
>>583125567Make this the next OP image. It's cool as fuck
>>583132912I don't do it with pretty much any other faction because it's lame but it's one of the very few things they're at least decent at and it feels somewhat on brand for them anyways so whateverThey have so few options for making viable armies you become desperate for any sort of playstyle variance fairly quickly in my experience
>>583129695Fixing minor issues isnt profitable. You already bought the game, and something as small as this wont stop you from buying the new DLC. The devtime spent fixing the issue is more efficiently used in developing more cash-flow DLCs instead.
So AI can use lordless armies but the player still can't? What gives?

>>583135056>I am VLAD... von Rapestein...
>>583135056erm you're just not media literate chud
>>583135056Because you bought into ET character assassination. Vlad was barely above Konrad in terms of being a violent, raging sperg until some ET writer decided he liked him so he completely erased every personality trait he had and replaced it with just talking shit about everyone. CA has just represented what Vlad was for 90% of the character's existence.

>>583136080Perhaps.
>>583135370>4th Edition Vlad>Incredibly handsome dark haired man, extremely intelligent, but had anger management issues whenever Isabella wasn't around to calm him>Also it was heavily implied that Vlad came from the darklands to the east rather than riding south from Kislev>He was known as the greatest of the von carsteins because he enforced the laws, regularly (and often personally) put down bandits and mercenaries who got too big for their britches, and yes he ultimately saw the people as cattle, but Vlad was someone who believed in taking care of his cows>He also was subtle, his 'unifying' of sylvania was done without any military actions, simply through making sure bad things happened to nobles who were against him>He also carried a book of nagash and used screaming skull catapults back then admittedlyIt would be later writings that made him more insane and more of a madman.I think End Times went too far in trying to reverse this in the other direction, given Vlad's perma-death came from the fact he went apeshit after losing his ring, instead of acknowledging that he needs to adjust his strategies instead of (ironically) playing it the way players do in TWW of just reraising armies again and again because deaths don't matter.

>>583137687Everyone did. Dev stream they admitted they originally planned that, but with how big the map is, they realized most players wouldn't see anything Archaon related until half of the world is dead if they made his armies start North/South.While some people (myself included) think this is a good thing, they felt it would completely stall the campaign when you as the player have to march 20 turns to blow up a dark fortress before you can even fight him.
