I'm in love with Malekiths mom!
>>583464206Malekith.....
>>583464157Rogue Trader is the best in that list tho
i started a nice Hellebron Campaign Yesterday :)
>>583464358its fucking dogshit
>>583464157You took my post from /v/ thread showcasing how well DoW performed over the yearsBut this is pre SM2. SM2 alone sold more copies than TWW as a whole
i have NEVER had fun wtih high elvessuch a boring faction, geez
>>583464358First of all, the list lies, rogue trader has an estimated 2 mil.. 2nd, Rogue Trader is the definition of mid. That game is endless filler and nonsensical battles. The combat is horrendous too.
>>583464413samealready dropped it
Am I missing something or is the Verminlord Warbringer completely bananas? All of the variants are good, but the Warbringer looks like it's busted on a level the others don't reach.
>>583464432>>583464490It doesn't exactly take much to be the best in that list
>>583464518You're not supposed to point out that the Skaven have absurdly op stuff, anon.
>>583464490RT 2 million aren't estimated. They are outright stated as copies soldIt is a better cRPG than Warhammer is a Total War, that's true
>>583464490stop roasting rogue trader I've 'yet to play it and am looking forward to it
>>583464621lol lmao even
>>583464623DLC4 soon........... DH is looking to be even better
>>583464574Warhammer 3 is not only the best total war ever made, it's the best strategy game ever made. Comparing Rogue trader to wh3 is asinine. That's like saying release no mans sky was a great game.>>583464621Warhammer 3 is the best total war.>>583464623Nah, play Divinity 2, that's a great game. Rogue Trader is a horrendous snooze fest.
>>583464413Turn 30First Tier V settlement.Malekith (Rank 1) broke Nap and declared in me. 7k income. My two armies are already in His Border Fun ahead
>>583464731yeah i'll prob wait for that then definitive edition that'll drop with it? I think and then buy it
>>583464815Sounds like a good idea. I know DH will be the same with drip feed dlc, but I don't think I can hold out for all of it. Good on you for managing to wait out all RT dlc. I played it after dlc2 released and had a lot of fun
>>583464749He means the real divinity 2, ego draconis.
time to put nagash to the test
I've got giant snails.What other bretonnia mod recommendations are there?Auto vow?Lily's?Blessed?Dukes?BRIDF?
>>583464515yeah i have nice rng. Northern Border secured, eastern orks are Money punching bags, southernn isles (alith anar) conqueredCylostra humiliated and now vs malekith.Dont know whether i Go over Albion into the HRE or Lothern yet.What have you started now?
>>583465005oh god i cant wait to defend israel with my cav
>>583464946No I don't.I've seen that game before tho.. many many years ago. I think I wanted to play it at some point but never did. Probably just replayed gothic for the 100th time..Man I could go for some Gothic 3 rn..
>>583464206Is Morathi fun in IE?
MY LADY let me defend you against the anti-semitism
>>583465078I plan to do an Old World Campaign with Repanse to purge the desert of the foul saracens and their undead legions.
Is there a mod that makes wood elf wizards look less retarded? The troll doll hair and weird floaty jellyfish animations make me not want to use them.
>>583465463A friend of mine told me there's a mod that makes them into flying lolis, one of the huge reskin packs, but I don't use those.

>>583464995geez that was sweaty, hit healing cap n panicked
does harald have to be in the army that kills these characters to unlock them?

why the fuck does this sometimes happenbut i can still colonize it if i chose to raze it? weird shit
>>583466943https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3809625124
I like how Thanquol starts with the Dwarf Deleter 9000 in his army. I wasn't expecting it to destroy half a unit of dwarf warriors in a single blast.
>male nan-gau, Jade, and celestial warriors mod: on>no mixed-sex units: on>miao-ying lig reskin: onAlright it's time to give this stupid faciton another go
I wish there was a mod that would make the AI attempt to stay in their assigned regions, I hate finally getting to Bretonnia and it's all High Elves, or getting to the Worlds Edge Mountains and it's all Empire. I want to be in the Warhammer world not whatever fanfic this campaign concocted
>>583466471yes

You will never be a Wrathmonger.
>>583468221Nagash should be able to get it done in relatively short time after you get comfortable in the southlands.
>>583468513I know, but it's a massive loss for this game
this looks like a trollface mod
>>583468707TW40k will have no bunny-eared musclemen with corset armor and their tits out who flail around madly with brick-ended chain whips. You won't be able to enjoy a game like that.
Most fun Chaos Nation to that new Siege giant with?
>>583468746only 150 turns in so should manage by 200

oh greatnow this guy is running:)))i hate this rogue army trash so much i legit dunno why i can't afford more than 3 armies paying 19k per turn army upkeep for 3 stacksat this point on the same difficulty as dark elves i was fielding 10 stacks of high tier units and still had 8k+ per turn income
>>583469419Nahash is weak.

Why is the Red Duke confederation on the tech tree instead of on the confederation screen with all the other LLs?
>>583470230Wasn't Ghorst supposed to have gotten new voice lines?
>>583470741the greenskin special
>>583470741he's hardly a LLgeneric blood dragon with 1 (one) unique perk
>>583470858He has new lines. For diplo and lord selection screen at least. The rest is probably the same. Also it kinda pisses me off because it seems he lost his cruelty line.
How do I do this now?Abandon a settlement spawn an elector count from it and declare on them?
light work for niggash
>>583467415>THORGRIM.. LOOKING WEIRD?Already banned from steam.
>>583470886He might be lacking flair but the outcome for confederation is practically the same. You get him as a lord and his faction converts to the same Undead Remnants faction that would appear if you confederated any other LL. It's just that in his case you achieve this through the tech three instead of on the new screen where you do all the other confederations.
>>583470106>>583469960>>583469549thanks lads I didn't realizeI meanI still only have +1k income but it's better than before>I now owe the pyramid banks 12 sigilsxd
>>583467415Claude... did it... Max effort.... No mistakes...
>>583471492maybe they left the door open for potentially fleshing him out and adding him as a playable faction so they didn't want to be bound by whatever artwork they make for his confed screen now before the redesign
Are dread saurians still capped?
>>583468707natty?
>>583471581In my experience getting one necro over limit isn't really that bad. I wouldn't ever go more than 2 though. You get most money from fighting anyway so you can play niggash like khorne if you want.
>>583471691Nah, that's definitely not it.
wait so when u turn a province into a necropolis, ravage it, turn it back into a minor settlement, is the effect lost or what? what's w the message on the left? but the climate IS undead wasteland
>>583471868wait i can't raiseso yeahthe effect is gone AHAHAHAHHA THIS IS SO RETARDED
>>583471868The wasteland thing is kinda fucked right now. It unwastelands itself for example if you do the ritual in incomplete province then get the last settlement, and then you're fucked because you can't do the ritual again. I'm waiting for TCLAP to fix this before going back to finish it.In your case however you need a necropolis nearby to make lands of the dead.
>>583471794It probably says something about the average player that they keep acting confused that they're being penalized for overextending during campaign after CA explained in no uncertain terms that they should be careful to not overextend themselves lest they suffer penalties in the campaign.
>>583472141yeah but that was already wasteland just fine i just unmade the necropolis now its goneBUT THE CLIMATE IS STILL UNDEAD WASTELAND AND THE EFFECT ON TERRAIN IS STILL THERE BUT ITS CLEARLY NOT BECAUSE I CAN'T RAISE DEAD THERE fucking clunky ass bugfest game
>>583472252Wasteland is just climate type, nothing more. You need land of the dead to get currency and raise troops.
>>583464473Play Imrik and use their Cav
yeah all the places where I deleted the necropolises are no longer lands of deadi went from 24 provinces to 13now I have worse income than beforegod what a fucking clapped gameguess i'll load an old save and just tank my bad income
>>583464621Man, I wish somebody would use the superior WHFB setting instead of 40K
>>583471492hes not a playable faction, all the LLs you can confederate are playable
>>583472447later thohad enough of this clunky shi for now
>>583472186It's not really an overextension problem, it's more like it's hard to understand TK units cost upkeep on Nagash so players rape their income unconsciously spamming what they assume are cheap armies of Skellymen (Egypt) who are in fact just expensive skellymen
>>583471868>>583472252You need a necropolis for an area (and its connecting provinces) to be land of the dead.
>>583472447why did you delete them you absolute bozothere is literally a button on a necropolis building that lets you convert it to t1 buildinghow the fuck are you functioning without forgetting how to breath
>>583472760>there is literally a button on a necropolis building that lets you convert it to t1 buildingyeah that's what i did dumbass, it deletes the land of the dead what >>583472750 said
>>583472563In the singleplayer campaign it makes no difference.
>>583468004Why is it better to give charging weapons to charging units?
>>583472186I blame legend for that one. He has eaten away at my own sanity too. Seeing his gameplay for so many years, I can't play any other way anymore. I just have to make a move every single turn. I just cannot ever stop moving and fighting. Any single wasted turn feels like my campaign is ruined.Probably doesn't help that I play Skarbrand 8888 times.. But I remember watching my noobie friends in our coop campaigns just sit there for 3 turns, recruiting, not doing anything else and it weirded me the fuck out.
>>583472186>after CA explained in no uncertain terms that they should be careful to not overextend themselves lest they suffer penalties in the campaign.when did they do thisthe previews no1 watches?
>>583472830ah okay i ran into this shit tooso the only fix for this shit with climate returning to initial is to abandon your settlements in province till you have half or less, then reoccupy them and then you can redo the ritual.as for being unable to use grave call - its because you converted the only necropolis on the continent so its technically not a land of dead anymore lol, the overseas necropoli dont count. learned it the hard way. Grave call is available on all province with necropoli and adjacent ones, but not adjacent overseas even if climate stayed undead wasteland
>>583472447>land of the dead mechanic specifically tied to necropolis>'wtf why did I lose the land of the dead when I deleted the building causing it
>>583472557whfb is inferior in every way
>>583473176When I play co-op with my friends it's similar. Turn 40 I've got my area of the map dominated, and they're still piddling around with at most 5 proinces, usually 4. Though one friend plays dwarfs almost exclusively, and really gets into the RP, so he murders the fuck out of greenskins, skaven, and wood elves, but if a place isn't a 'traditional dwarf hold' he gifts it to either one of us or a nearby human faction. I forgive him for playing tall because it's the RP.
Were any fun ancillaries/items added in the patch?
>>583472557A WHFB CRPG would be amazing, but by the nature of the setting it would be a lot lower key/power than people expect from CRPGs.
>>583473880Some of the campaigns can get pretty wacky.
>>583473759No.
>>583473176l*gend of total war was a literal cancer for this game. all the cheese, all the ai raping strategies, all the sweaty tryhard shit that resulted in CA making all AIs fucking skaven that exist only to be annoying shit, I blame it on him. After all his whining in tw2 about sieges being boring, we got these abominations in tw3 with absolutely fucked pathfinding and units refusing to go through gates once you set up ladders. Of course redditt faggots idolize this asshole, i really was glad when this whiny bitch finally had nervous breakdown and quit making his stupid videos.
AmbI supposed to do the ritual thing on pyramid? And when it is a good time to put in necropolises?
>>583473957They certainly could, I know that one epic campaign that got remade like 12 times despite me never playing it is famous for a reason.Though my favorite two are the night at the three feathers (that's just a really fun adventure I could see an indie game being made from it), and the dungeon crawl involving going into a karak. That dungeon crawl is just fun, and they manage to have little fun bits like "The dwarfs cavity search you on your way out to make sure you aren't sneaking out gromril, here's the negotiation test you can make to get them to skip the check. If you're a dwarf from a different clan you have -20%, if you're a human you have -60%, if you're an elf you have -200%."
>>583474270If a place is a Landmark or it connects to at least two other provinces that aren't a Lands of the Dead, you want a Necropolis there.If you're playing aggressively you want as many necropolises as you can as long as you can maintain this pattern, since fighting within the AoE of a necropolis gets you a shit ton more souls, which allows you to convert lands into lands of the dead faster.
>>583473752That dawi friend of yours would play PvP campaign with me.. cause uhm.. Skarbrand, Tamurkhan and rats are my fav, besides Cathay.>>583474093Sheesh anon.. I mean yeah, he's a cunt but you need to calm doen.
>>583474270I personally put them into provinces with maximum neighbours. Even passed on some landmarks, for example the landmarks in badlands like mourkain only buff specific low tier units like ghouls which you won't be using most likely in mid-to late game. but if you have a lot of neighbouring provinces, you can perform more rituals, meaning more necropoli. Only really good landmarks are really worth using, like nagashizzar or khemri pyramid.
>>583474093I don't get why that braindead ADHD playstyle is so popular
I know it's cheesy, but I really like factions who start in view of others just so I can get them to pay me to join wars against their minor punching bag enemies for thousands of gold in the first four turns.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3814056449BIGGA
kind of weird that the new DLC lords don't have skill tree bonuses specifically for their gimmick faction units.
Played MP campaign with my niece this weekend hehe
>>583475479she is a big girl
>>583473880That's why Age of Sigmar is the perfect setting for a CRPG or even a Souls-like
>>583475163I understand being efficient and minmaxxing in multiplayer cause you are playing against other people. But this shit in single player campaigns looked like beating a disabled child with downs. Like what a fucking clown you need to be to consider flying your single entity in front of braindead ai to deplete their ammunition for 40 fucking minutes and calling it a strategy? Then other faggots copy this "technique", start whining the game is too easy cause they can beat two stacks of braindead AI and CA adds more braindead AI stacks. What deranged creature can have fun with it.
Does ancillaries drop more with higher post battle item drop chance?
Since the faction effect now says the landmark doesn't double the book effects but instead "scales" them, I had a look around. With all nine books collected, Castle Drakenhof occupied and the T3 landmark built (all of which is necessary for a long victory), you would get:>Research rate: +50>Barrier hit points: +500 (faction leader)>Winds of Magic power reserve capacity: +30 (faction leader's army)
>>583475847>calling it a strategythis is a strategy though. This is playing the game as a strategy game, finding the most efficient and the best possible way to defeat an enemyContrary to roleplaying which makes you use even suboptimal strategies for the sake of it
>>583476083Pretty crazy OP.
>>583475628>>583475628>>583475628>>583475628
Is there a wiki, which compiles all of the unique effects a particular faction has access to? Like:>unique landmarks>short victory bonus (sometimes it's quite good)>unique events/decisions, which give permanent buffs
>>583476348Vibecode your own
I guess catching Boris with his pants down and vassalising him is still the way to go as Archaon
Legend changed the way I play total war, for the worseBefore I watched him I used to stay still for a couple turns and smell the flowersNow its nothing but conquering every turn
>>583475765Mordheim should have been their souls like
>>583476204It's garbage, dude. You might have it built by turn 60. At that point in the campaign those LL buffs are worthless. Added research rate is nice, but you'll be running short on things to research not long after building the landmark.
>>583473880Wizards can apparently rape whole armies, and BG3 was pretty famously low power. I think there's plenty of potential there. Rogue Trader itself is also rather low power
>>583477307>Rogue Trader itself is also rather low power>Fighting greater daemons>Fighting a c'tan shard>low power
>>583477481Nothing a basic named helmetless Space Marine couldn't deal with.
man warriors of chaos have to be the most overpowered race right?I never feel any challange when playing any of them
>>583477603name??
>>583476876yeah but instead it was a shitty xcom clone that got cancelled too early.Another game with no Skinks
>>583477481You're effectively a spunky dude with a lot of Dakka
>>583477776that's skaven
if you no longer go for a gap which exists you are no longer a racing driver
>>583477903I didn't hate what we got, but I couldn't help but think how well the setting would lend itself to souls like
>>583475765>Age of SigmarOkay, let's try an exercise. Let's say I'm completely disinterested in the world and the characters and however the fuck it all relates to Warhammer. Sell me on the armies. Or just one army, any one. What reasons are there to make me want to play them in a Total War title?
>>583478061how much longer until you unlock blight kings? I stopped my Glottkin campaign at like turn 20 because having to go a tier 5 unit through warband upgrades seemed too cancerous.
>>583475765said no one
>>583464157Winnar!!!
>read RoTK>find out the good guys (Shu) didn't win>stop reading
>>583478268Iirc Skaven just get actual guns now

>>583473176thats just the basics of strategy games

I'm having so much fucking fun with this DLC
>>583478531>good guys (Shu)
The rest of the world can burn so long as Athel Loren remains unsullied.

I played khalida for tomb kings cylostra for vampire coast wich vampire faction should I play in preperation for my nagash campaign?(trying to play one of each to get a feel for the units before playing him)
>>583481262nef
>>583481262Vlad
>>583481262
is it still a bad idea to enter alliances with factions you wanna confederate since it makes them think they're stronger than they are and thus less likely to confed?
>>583481632You can enter alliances then use the war coordination to send them on suicide missions
>>583481632Just give them a settlement in exchange for confederation.
>>583481746https://youtu.be/Q0AUm-vXdkw?si=hsmbba1T5yKYRGxT&t=8
>>583481796I refuse to abuse that broken mechanic.
>>583481632depends on the faction, you still need a minimum level of relationship to confederate at all and certain factions like kislev and bretonnia completely ignore certain things that would penalize a confederation.
>>583481936based
>>583479073Hardly.For example if you start a corpo ring world campaign in Stellaris, you never engage in war whatsoever, you never take systems, you stay super isolated and play diplomacy for 2 irl weeks until you become mega hitler.
>>583481318>>583481383>>583481593ok good to know so they all are fun will probably go with the bread and butter basic bitch vlad then
>>583482506not to engage in war specifically, but make use of the resources you have and don't invest in stuff before you have a use for itif you have an army but don't use it it's wasted
>>583482628Careful, Vlad has access to the strongest item in the game right now if you complete his secret quest. >>583474072
>>583464749This one time passfag, I agree with you
>>583482798wtfwhat does undead wasteland do?is it just for flavour and the enemy can turn the land back once reconquered or what?
>>583482934It turns any terrain into favored terrain for undead.And for Vampire Counts it gives +Growth, -Building Costs, +money, and additional vampiric corruption.Does go away if the corruption is reduced to 0 though.You can research a building that makes it not go away as long as the building stands.Don't worry though, the game doesn't tell you how to find this item unless you read flavor text and know a tiny bit of lore (or get lucky by accident).
>>583473759They reworked some of the old VCounts ones.
For me, its Kemmler, the OG bad guy

>>583483848??
>>583483848>>583484049wow no way
>>583483493As Vlad eventually you get a follower/ancillary called "The Elderly Librarian" it's kind of crap, but equip it on any lord/hero who you then put in Mordheim (you may need to own Mordheim).This causes the Librarian to reveal he used to be a Librarian in the city before it got hit by a meteor 300 years ago.You can now build a landmark there that is ALL downsides.Once the landmark is built, you can upgrade the landmark but it's expensive as fuck and takes 9 turns.Once the landmark is upgraded, it destroys itself, but gives you the weakened version of the artifact.It then takes a lot of turns and a lot of level ups to upgrade it.

>>583485503why does a tree have boobs
>>583353596Late reply but Goblin Hewers are for raping SEMs that spamclick through your lines. It's the tactical equivalent of magdumping an entire artillery unit in an emergency.Throwing Axe rangers (particularly the RoR who can inflict a missile resist + armor debuff) fill a similar role but dish out the damage slower over a longer period, making them more efficient for dealing with monstrous infantry or other multi-entity large units.

>>583482786What you are saying is fundamentally wrong.When I build tal and go for diplomacy, I always keep several huge fleets and confederation fleets in my sector. "Using" them would be the wrong move. I want as many empires friendly to me as possible so I can exploit them for more money and power.The fleets play a role, they add to diplomatic power and deter others from attacking me while also readying me for whatever crysis may start.Armies are not just there to kill and take on land. Taking over star systems and declaration of war means I could lose an enormous chunk of my political power and income.

>>583487421Well I'm not gonna explain all of stellaris to you, this is /twg/ but.. mega corp is basically befriending everyone and siphoning their money to become emperor of the galaxy. Any foe means less money and less power so we just don't do that.. but we will form huge federations with that power and annihilate other mega corps factions to grow.. but the federation slavies do that for us.

>>583493427>spends the last part of the battleYou pay the tax so you don't have to fight manual battles. Instead of wasting your time on tedious bullshit, you get to just autoresolve.

>Win a difficult battle>Game crashesFUCK OFF
>>583495272>and since they spread out so far it takes forever to actually route themI've noticed this as well. Other Dorf arty can be routed by one summoned clanrat but these things are tricky.
>>583495502What's there to rework? Their racial mechanics are mostly fine. Collecting the books sucks but that's a lost cause. All you could ask for are more faction mechanic slop with shiny buttons to click. Do they even have units left to add?
the anti infantry morghasts have been pretty disappointing for me but the anti-large ones are great
>>583495917make them fun
>>583495923Many such cases (minotaurs, kurgan, crushers, demigryphs, necropolis, stormvermin, etc etc forever)

>>583495923I used the anti infantry ones the whole campaign since I never got the grave call upgrade for the other ones in the pyramid and didn't bother constructing the building. I felt they did well. They blended enemy elite infantry and did ok vs enemy lords and flying units.

>>583487185She's Tree Hitler
>>583497787>Disables magic for both sidesCool but I feel like it's not very good because all the races that can make use of that healing cap also rely on magic(Nurgle, Undead). Seems like the only use-case is one-man doomstacking as Vlad or Kugath.
>>583497787>>583498094isn't miscast only for overcast?
>>583498094no it disables magic for that character the rest of your side can use magic
>>583498094Imagine putting that on your LL of choice with the crown and sword of khaine
>>583495502Fuck off, the latest "rework" already just made them easier for no reason. I don't want more panel slop you niggers call "reworks", it doesn't add anything except cheats and "win more" buttons. Leave my favorite faction alone.
>>583493692>ranged focus bloodline foucs on ranged units>cavalry focus bloodline focus on cavalry units
>>583495502They're literally fine and the highest rated Warhammer DLC on Steam. You got your big beetle, you got your Spellcaster lord. The only thing that they could possibly change is giving the new Spellcaster lord a better mount.
>>583498156overcast spells have an inherent miscast modifier, this adds 100% miscast to characters so overcast spells would be 150% but normal spells would be 100% chance
>>583497787Super strong for Nurglite (or any other) characters who regenerate themselve, you literally tank your own miscast.

>>583498990Add to that a button that creates a "sand nuke" that you can use in battles (1000 canopic jars), and also a button called "sandy DEATH" that deletes a faction (2000 canopic jars). Then, we may have a deal.
Would be possible to give cavalry units an automatic cycle charge ability? Say you order a unit of cav to charge an enemy, then after 15 seconds or so they automatically disengage with the enemy and pull out to 30/40 metres away, and facing away from the enemy, like if you pressed the J key.

I don't think I was supposed to get this weapon
>>583498902What about the heiroscorpion?
That Jade-Blooded vampire mod that got mentioned here like a week ago is cool, I like their roster and vibes (though I haven't played too much of it yet)It (and the settlement blurbs from OvN) got me thinking, though. The Cathayan Dragon family rules tyrannically (but benevolently, at least on paper during good times) and heavily controls the humans underneath them. They clash with and stamp out local practices, persecute any histories, scholarly works, or magical traditions that does not come from them, conscript forced labor, and can be very dysfunctional. When they feud with each other or slack on their jobs or make a bad decision, hundreds of thousands suffer. Cathay is essentially a nation of humans systematically enslaved by larger, stronger, immortal lifeforms that police what humans are allowed to know and think. It makes Tzeentch being their largest coordinated external/internal threat a lot more understandable and thematic. They've got to have a pretty bad chronic bandit problem over there, and all it takes are a few treasonous bits of information slipping through the censors to make more - and mundane bandits rebelling against the tyranny of living gods that have failed to uphold their end of the social contract make for a very easily steered tool/smokescreen for a Tzeentch cult's operations. Kinda makes me wanna see a Cathayan Tzeentch sorcerer who is wholly truthful, and uses only the truth to manipulate people.
>>583499415He's bugged and doesn't get his unique weapons
Dechala is so hot. I love her animations and the snake ssssssssss voice thing. I have masturbated to fantasies of banging her for the last 2 weeks since playing her campaign. I've never been much of a snake lady enjoyer but I'm kind of of that persuasion now. But most of the time the snake ladies are less lithe and quick than her and it kind of ruins it for me. Also less predatory and monstrous, they lean into the ara ara shit and not psychopathic narcissistic bitch. I wish I wasn't at work typing about Dechala so I could be at home jerking it to Dechala. Thanks for reading, I'll be beating my meat to Dechala tonight btw and her not being the #1 Warhammer girl is a tragedy but also cements her superiority in my mind like she's an elite taste
>>583495502You guys are like drug addicts.Reworks for the sake of reworks? Tomb Kings are done. Finished. They're fine and don't need anything.If you want more shit, there's grokjillion of mods to choose from on workshop.

>>583500402Where are my black arks and undercities? Where are my legendary heroes and elite infantry units with bound spells?
>>583500341While your idea is great among, canonical Cathay is written with GW talking about how much they have sensitivity readers in to make sure they don't upset Chinese sensibilities.This is why a lot of Fantasy fans complain about how in the books Cathay is so fucking perfect/good that they're boring. This has started to shift recently but who knows how far it'll go.
>>583500771how fucking dare you
>>583500696>>583500372
>>583500491Push beyond your limits so you can sneak peeks while playing well
>>583500656Settra will immediately stab you if you turn your back to him and he's a good landmark for your necropolis.Also his chariots will fuck your units if you let him get them.Volkmar never has the time to get the good shit even if you do him second.
yeah I'm doing a female Nagg run
>>583500813Karl and Boris both hunting me down with 2 stacks (very hard)will try again tomorrow with a bit of migration I think
>>583501002Based.Veteran Total War enjoyers are able to perfectly micro their units AND see all the animations.
What's the strategy for empire to fight the final nagash endgame? I had -Elspeth-Ulrika-Theodore bruckner-Empire captain-engineerall fully leveled-2 demigryph halberds-3 knights of black rose with the landmark passive-1 outriders grenade launchers-2 steam tanks-1 volleygun steam tank-1shieldman ii -1 greatswords-2 hellblaster volleyguns-2 helstorm rocket batteriesAnd I got owned. But I mainly tried to defend my position because I brought artilley, do you really need to capture the points? Elspeth feels too weak.
>>583500880I think that there's something extremely, extremely interesting about taking China (a nation that has historically had a cyclical view on the nature of dynastic progression and order/chaos, and which has persisted through the concept of divine right to rule being something a dynasty can lose through inauspicious behavior and cultural pressure, only takes 1 generation for external conquerors to become culturally chinese) and translating it into the setting with a dynasty that refuses to be replaced, which if not upended will last forever, and which has kept the nation anchored in order since they first took power. There's a lot of fun stuff you can do there with internal cultural turmoil and tension, especially since Chaos is an already established force in Warhammer.
>>583500582He is unironically the hardest LL starting positionwise right now
>>583501550You mean final battle?Bring as many heroes.Like, go full hero army if you can.Melee god Lord as well, Elspeth is bad.The battle is very stupid, fucking Total hero war bullshit so don't feel bad at losing it if you try to play it like a normal man.

>>583501909I don't feel like I won the campaign even though I've defeated all nagash's armies, the earlier vampire crisis, and basically created a bridge of territory all the way to cathay... Is archaon less annoying? Honestly I started off really liking the crises and endgames, it felt like it gave me a directed goal than just keep expanding but they're kind of too glitchy and annoying to deal with.

Stay in Cathay or return to the Empire as Gelt? You have 17 seconds to deliver an arcane essay on the subject
>>583503402we'll get a M2EX for warhammer when CA finally abandons it
>>583503617If you want to confederate the other empire lords. Going back is your only option.
In Total War: Warhammer III, choosing whether Balthasar Gelt stays in Cathay or returns to the Empire depends on your preferred playstyle, though you can technically manage or leverage both.Staying in CathayPros:You keep the Temple of Elemental Winds and its landmark buildings, which give massive spell mastery (up to 200%) and elemental mastery bonuses tailored for a wizard-heavy faction like Gelt's.The starting position sits in a corner of the map with rich resources, high income potential, and a powerful ally (Zhao Ming) protecting your eastern flank.It provides a unique, non-traditional start compared to crowding the standard Old World politics.Cons:You are far away from the core Empire factions, meaning you won’t directly interact with or confed/help Karl Franz, Elspeth, or local threats right away unless you migrate later.Returning to the Empire ("The Glorious Return")Pros:Triggering the return grants you a 10-turn "glorious return" buff that gives you -100% army upkeep (free armies), major population growth bonuses, and cheaper building costs, alongside a large cash injection.It drops you right back into the classic Old World theater to fight Vampires, Festus, or expand across Reikland and Solland.Cons:If you leave Cathay entirely behind without a strategy, you risk losing the specialized wizard landmarks unless you use specific recruitment or migration tricks.Can You Do Both?Yes. Many players use a dual-campaign or "migration" strategy:1. Secure the strong Cathay start and hold/exploit the wizard landmark.2. Set up a secondary lord or capture a nearby non-Cathay/Ogre settlement before triggering the return dilemma so you don't completely lose your footing.3. Take the 10-turn free-upkeep return to carve out a massive power base in the Empire (such as wiping out the Vampire Counts in Sylvania) while keeping a presence or reclaiming your holdings in Cathay.
>>583503617Your victory conditions need you to build the landmark in Cathay.
>>583503859meant for >>583503617
>>583503914They fixed that in 9.0.2If you choose to go back to Empire, those victory conditions no longer require you to build in Cathay.
>>583503859
>>583504014Same goes for Ostankya. Yuan Bo still needs to stay in Lustria to win though.
>>583503617That landmark in Cathay is too good give it back. Just take a sea lane if you want to go back.
>>583504014Nope. Pic is from this patch.
>>583500402Can I at least have RoR/LoL versions of the Hierotitan/Bone Giant and maybe a fifth LL as a cherry on top?
Is it possible to resurrect a LL from a different faction without the use of mods? I'm playing as khalida and I want thorgrim back just because I like him, best way I can think of is forcing a dwarf rebellion somehow, but not even sure if that would work

>>583504153No.
>>583476083>Winds of Magic power reserve capacity: +30I don't like how it doesn't have any meaning anymore.In 3, you never run out of Winds of Magic, even in the beginning.Channeling stance is a huge meme now, and every piece of trash you collect/every shitty landmark gives you gazillion winds.
To my brother, Pieter,I write this so that, should anything happen to me, you will know that I did not abandon my post through cowardice.Three nights ago, I was riding the old road north of Wissenburg with two men of the watch. The moon was hidden behind cloud, and the mist lay so thick across the fields that our lanterns seemed to shine no further than the noses of our horses.It was shortly after midnight when we heard the bells.At first I took them for a chapel bell carried upon the wind, though there was no village for many miles. Then came another sound: the slow turning of iron-rimmed wheels.We drew aside.Out of the mist came a carriage blacker than the night around it.Four horses pulled it, though I swear by Sigmar they were dead. Their hides hung loose upon their ribs and pale fire burned within their eyes. Frost formed upon the road wherever their hooves struck the earth.The coach itself bore no lanterns. No driver sat upon the box.Yet still it came on.Hans called out for it to halt.That was when the doors opened.I saw no passenger within, only darkness. Not shadow, Pieter. Darkness. A depth without end.Hans dropped his sword. He began walking toward it.We shouted at him, but he did not answer.Then something moved inside the coach.I cannot tell you what I saw. I remember only two red lights, like embers at the bottom of a grave.Our horses screamed.Mine threw me into the ditch, and there I lay with my face in the mud while the coach passed.I heard Hans cry out once.Then the bells faded.At dawn we found his sword beside the road. His footprints ended in the middle of the track.There were no wheel marks.No hoofprints.Nothing.Only a patch of dead grass covered in frost.The priest here says I should forget what I saw.I cannot.Last night, just before sleep, I heard bells outside my window.Burn this letter.Do not travel after dark.—MatthiasRoadwarden of Averland
>having to military alliance with Vlad because the Empire hates me and I don't want to lose my under empireswhat a clever scheme Thanquol
>>583504943yepp nothing really matters in wh3. you just press end turn until you win.
>>583491984Isn't Minas Tirith of the end of the third age basically an Isolated Fortress at the edge of the Kingdom? Most of the food comes in from the rest of Gondor that lies to the West; nothing is grown on the Eastward steppes because, since the fall of Osgiliath, the region has been vulnerable to raids from the armies of Sauron and to grow food there would only supply the Dark Lord's larders?And though the film talks of A fall of Osgiliath as a recent occurrence, Osgiliath had only been recaptured for two decades after being lost ruins for 500 years.
so uuuh how do i do the skaven devastation thing?i just unlocked the Verminking fella. But I don't have an obvious quest telling me what to do next.
>>583505174I think it's just the movie thing.I'm sure in books Minas Tirith is supposed to be surrounded by villages and crop fields.
>>583505174Pelennor Fields in front of Minas Tirith is supposed to be all farmland
>>583504671I'm not sure any other VC unit gets barrier. At least they didn't before the rework. But by the time he gets it he'll be riding a dragon and have hp in the range 7.5-8k. A few hundred points of barrier is inconsequential.
>>583505174No that's bullshit. In the books they watched them encroach and describe the lands as farmlands.
>>583505174>>583505407Yeah, in the books the area outside and almost all the way to the river is farmlands. There's an outer wall.

>>583504730How about some new followers then? They don't have a ton of those.
>>583505174Not really. Like the others said it is surrounded by farmland and actually all of Pelenor fields is surrounded by another wall called Rammas Echor.Anorien the area where Minas Tirith is located is still a major population center and Lossarnach a decently populated area neighbors it.
i think one of my mods broke dwarf recruitment, it's either bolt thrower spam or this.
>>583505937Nah, I had that without any mods changing recruitment.If dwarfs get sacked/razed repeatedly, the current AI doesn't build a barracks until it has two settlements, then it prioritizes building a ranger building which it doesn't recruit from, then a basic artillery building.
>>583505759What do 99% do?
>>583505937I have seen the same problem. I saw a Thorgrim stack with only minors despite the settlement where he recruited them having way more recruitment buildings
>>583505937Perfect army comp.Wins against most basic early game comps as well.AI is just being smart, anon.
>>583505717This but unironically

The Empire should be able to build a special landmark at Laurenlorn to recruit mid tier Wood Elf units.
>>583506635It's a cute statue
>>583505717I still think it's not Warhammer-y enough.Don't know, can't put my finger on it.Music sounds very generic.
>>583506635They're psyop conditioning us for space wolves
Come to think of it, would you approve of CA making campaign maps of specific parts of the world? Like you have a map that's just the Southlands. A smaller map than IE and with a more limited number of races present, but more decompressed and detailed than the area is on the combined map. They could do the same for the Empire, the Dark Lands, etc. Would you be interested in that, or would it upset you that they diverted resources that might have been put into IE?
>>583506735It's no Rome but I like it a lot more than the old stuff which I disabled ages ago
>>583506429The only other Empire track I like is this one for the same reasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwc1-qpmZ38
>>583506678And Vlad should be able to build a special landmark in Altdorf to force confederate all Empire factions.
>>583506735Warhammer is pretty generic thoughever

oh shit sorry Queek I just wanted a little slice of that Eight Peaks action, I didn't mean to summon a verminlord on top of you.
>>583506742Isn't Emil Valgeir just proto space wolf chaptermaster he even has an axe that looks almost identical.GW is really fucking lazy it seems
Anyone else have AI randomly shit itself? Malakai took like 70 settlements, killed malus, basically took the entire north along with kislev, and then lost a few of his armies and stopped building anymore. I had a somewhat glitchy combined vampire crisis and nagash endgame, and it seemed like all my big allies just stopped thinking past a certain turn.
>>583507064I think of Vermintide soundtrack.It's great, and is very unique sounding.Even tracks from TWWH up to this point while not all winners, had their own flavour.New tracks don't do it for me.
>>583496959Seconding this one
Why does Drakenhof have more building slots than Altdorf?
>>583502259Imagine her, tripping and being captured by low-level goblins who take her to their cave.

Are Doomwheels worth it?
>>583507434Fat Shark is a lazy nig of a developer, but what little they do work on is pretty gold
>>583508361Settra does not care about the well-being of his subjects and piles them up, Vlad is unironically a benevolent leader.
>>583509061>Vlad is unironically a benevolent leader.Shut the fuck up lmao
>>583509345I agree with >>583509061In my head Vlad is a good guy.
>>583509345Vlad's lore says he sees people like cattle but he also is a "happy cows produce better quality food" kind of farmer.
>>583509345t. manlet von Carstein.
>>583509494He's not a "happy cow" farmer, he's a "nobody torments my cows but me" farmer. Sylvanians lived miserable and short lifes under him where most of them were malnourished and could barely step out of home.You fuckers took "He ate the bandits first so his cattle wouldn't kill each other" to you unironically wanting to be vampire chow.
>>583509554Spooked
>>583509760Bruh, the Army Book specifically says he wanted to take care of his herd.That's also why her murdered the fuck out of the nobility (except the ones who swore fealty and followed his rules).The idea of a vampire aristocracy spawned from him because he insisted on noblesse oblige and all that shit.Also while it is WFRP so questionable canon, there is the quote from a Sylvanian peasant saying the taxes were lower under Vlad.
to the surprise of no one, Vlad fucked up and started losing to Elspeth, who then confederated Tabacland because she was winning so hard and ended my sacking and settlement gifting campaign up there.
>>583500582I played a khazrak campaign last week. It was brutal and two out of three attempts ended like yours.
>>583508361Vlad needs gibbs anons

>>583509554>AYYYYYYYYAverage Chaos Worshipper after being exposed to a really spooky guy
>>583510090>Bruh, the Army Book specifically says he wanted to take care of his herd.And you take that to mean that you'd live well under him, you fucking suicidal moron?You know the army books said Mannfred did the same but double, and Sylvania STILL fucking sucks because it's a vampire shithole where you're just meat cowering in your home?
>>583510206>>583510420Damn.So far I've seen him once kill both Elspeth and Karl, seen him twice kill Elspeth but die to Karl, and every other time I see him still getting close then dying to Elspeth.
I represent the Vampires Eating Faces party and I say vampires ain't so bad and probably won't eat your face, you should vote for Vlad.
Goddamn inflation! Why did Malekith have to blockade the straits of Nagash?
>>583510558He seems to shit his pants if they both are at war with him but can pretty reliably win if it's a 1v1
>>583510495Taxation is theft
>>583510904Plan-scheme is discordant
>>583511291Then why are you so eager for Vlad to tax your life away?
>play archaon>chaos dwarves are constant niggers that betray me and upset the chaos love train>even daniel is cool >skaven never cause any troubleYet more proof skaven deserve a place in the end times.
>>583510495Bruh, I ain't planning a vacation to Sylvania, lmao.I'm just saying, Sylvanians (under Vlad) unironically lived better than under TK's, and for any tax paying Sylvanian, they lived better under Vlad than under the Three Emperors.
warpfire throwers are bretty fun
>>583510090>he wanted to take care of his herd.Yeah, to eat them. When it says "He cherished his tenants as a peasant family cherishes a beast they are fattening for the Midsummer feast" it's meant to convey the opposite of good intent. Do you think his policy of populating the land with dead shit that indiscriminately cannibalized people who were out past sundown was meant to improve the peasants' lot? He wanted for himself and the rabid maniacs he surrounded himself with to be able to murder people whenever and however the mood struck them.
>>583511485chorfs are seething manlets still mad about how grimgor buckbroke them in the end times basically offscreen
>game keeps 'not responding' after turn 82 forcing me to crash to desktop>was enjoying my neffy campaign>no modsFucking hell CA, get your shit together. Guess I'll try out Nagash now...
i have been psyop'd into playing cathay
>>583511730But a peasant family does cherish said beast though
>>583511594And I'm still saying you're wrong on all of those. Under Vlad, every day you're likely to die. If you step slightly off the beaten path, you get eaten by ghouls. If you stay inside, there's a decent chance you'll be a vampire's meal that night. Warhammer vampires don't have the threshold rule, they can just step in and kill you and your entire family as soon as they get peckish. Sylvanians didn't become malnourished, deformed, inbred and illiterate because they were being treated so well. The average Tomb King is going to just run a normal city where most if not all inhabitants are already dead but also not mind the living ones, and you will NOT live better under a vampire than under a shitty emperor. The emperor at least doesn't fucking kill an entire family every night for his personal banquet before even factoring in the rest of his court.

Besides obvious stuff like race reworks and the siege update, what are some more niche updates/changes for wh3 you guys would be interested in? I want more small neutral battles (not requiring you to declare war on a big faction). The quest battles and pirate factions are good, they should ad more stuff like that but not the events that spawn savage orcs or some shit near a settlement that wastes your turns. The other ones don't waste a bunch of turns.
>>58351207940k grimdarkness really fucked up the perception of fantasy that is decidely not grim dark.
never realized it but vampires really seem to have an issue with winds of magic capacity, books of ashur and special locations are basically the only thing that helps. Guess it also makes the necrarch much better due to having both of the +winds generation specials
Yeesh, Nagash's campiagn is tougher than I thought it would be
such is destitute life of Nagash
>>583512470tough how? the only enemy i had some trouble dealing with was skarbrand
>>583511730You've never lived on a farm, let alone a poor farm.From a young age you're taught that even when you're going to be slaughtering that sheep that you raised from a baby, took care of when it was sick, groomed, and generally cared for, you are to still cherish each moment with it. The man who cares not for his animals doesn't get anywhere near the quality as the man who does.
>>583512747This anon genuinely thinks Sylvania was just a 24/7 party every day where Vlad would come down from his castle at sundown to dance and drink with the plebs.
>>583512470Quick tips.>Don't confed Arkhan and Mannfred early. Let them secure your flanks>Don't attack Setra. Build defensive walls in the black Pyramid and leave Setra to hopefully be busy with Skarbrand or die in offensive sieges at you>Expand south>Focus on getting an early book and unlock some Pyramid upgrades. Nagash will become a one man doomstack fairly early.
>>583512610I tried fighting Settra after dealing with the french and he fucked my army up, which sucked...
>>583512936There's even a lore blur about how one of the electors tries to take back sylvania specifically to help the citizens there.
>>583512079I dunno, I think if I were a vampire count I'd try to be a nice guy.What's the point of being an asshole?So there's a high chance you get betrayed? Or invaded? Or both?Keep everyone happy, and you'll be happy.It's not like you need tonnes of blood for you, your wife and your knights.
what the fuck is going on over here

What's a good faction for my brother to learn formations and strategies other than pile of violence? We're playing VH/VH coop and he's astounded that I can win against Arbaal as Chaos Dwarfs while outnumbered and while fielding a mostly hobgoblin shitstack. He likes playing Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen. I don't think he's ever played an order faction at all, and doesn't seem to want to.
>>583509554Calcium > Chaos
>>583513108The correct way to go about it is to do it like Nef and the Lahmians, which is to say be a sneaky git and work from behind the scenes. Or just be a Blood Dragon and roam the lands looking for tough cunts to fight.
WTF THANQUOL!
>>583464469>SM2 alone sold more copies than TWW as a wholeIn your dreams 40kek
>>583513219dude idk i had the same thing happen in a previous campaign wtf is oxotyl smokin'
>>583512079You know there are books and adventures about people just waltzing into Sylvania, finding random shit to do there, leaving, and never even realizing it's vampire infested right?Hell there's an adventure about a rich noble turned gunslinger who is disappointed because he goes there trying to find vampires to kill based off of the stories, but most vampires don't just walk the streets looking for people to kill, they're busy in their manors and only come down when someone starts fucking with the peasants.Vlad's fucking backstory talks about how no one realized Vlad and Isabella were vamps until they came down for a village faire and someone old lady mentioned that her grandmother used to be one of Isabella's personal attendants.

>>583513108Vampires are violent monsters and their psyches get distorted by the transformation. In the GnF books, Ulrika getting turned into a vampire drastically changes her mind, to where she's constantly having intrusive thoughts and urges about killing and eating the people she's near of, even Felix. You CAN be a good vampire, but it takes a genuine fucking will of iron. Even if you do manage to resist the urge to eat one person (not so uncommon, as vampires do romance mortal humans and that's one of the relatively common ways someone ends up being given the Kiss) they'll probably turn right around and eat someone else to take that edge off.Even Ulrika ends up failing and trying to kill Felix during ET (which is a bit anticlimactic for the character but not unrealistic, just kind of a bummer like how Malus ends up simply losing to Tz'arkan because the writers were just trying to get rid of characters).
>>583513650We don't talk about ET here, ESPECIALLY the shit they did to Ulrika.
>>583513650>End Times lore
>>583513450That's just anecdotal luck.Vampires are also not stupid enough to go "Hey I'm here, shoot me" at some loser passing through for no good reason. I mean Mannfred kinda did in his trailer but that's also because he was ambushing a whole regiment led by a witch hunter that was coming for him.
End Times is actually much better than most warhammer fluff.
For a passive aura that debuffs melee attack in TWW3 available at level 1 or maybe 8 or 10, what's a fair amount to debuff with? Range is 55.
gonna try the counts soon since its that time of year and i haven't played them since the rework. kemmler or vlad, fellas?

>>583510558>>583510932I rather like the state of the Empire right now, feels like a diceroll on who wins the bowl. I haven't seen Festus win the whole Empire though, I've only seen him take out the north, and the AI still can't seem to make the Changeling work.
>>583513964Vlad if you want to play Vampires with ranged support.Kemmler if you want to play with THE BONE ZONE since ironically despite being bonuses to ghosts, ghosts are blood units and way too expensive to be worth the investment.
>>583513990Thanks
>>583511997Sadly they are the least interesting members of the Cathaybowl for me. The only ones I think are neat (Yuan Bo and Yin-Yin) start in Lustria and I don't like beating up lizards it feels wrong
>Attack a settlement>Army that was in the settlement leavesCould the AI always do this?

>>583513108Every single vampire is a vargheist on the inside, below the charm and the cunning. The only difference between the two is that vargheists have been starved long enough for that to bubble up to the surface.
>>583513381no but actually these things are great>use scheme to spawn a verminlord>fuck up as much as possible to spawn 2-3 rouge verminlord armies>complete ritual, disband your verminlord army>the enemy settlement now has 2-3 rogue armies (aka rebels) with full stacks of high-tier units in the middle of their territoryits great fun
>>583514315Thanks for being a beta tester >>582524973
>>583514541That's the most skaven thing imaginable until you fuck up and they end up on your doorstep
So as Neffy do i deal with the Dawi or the Dawi-Zharr first
>>583514491Vored?
used this for a while, took some time to replace zombies with wraiths and I'm entirely sure what is better, the wraiths slow down enemies even longer and dont care about being shot in the back but the zombies were absurdly fucking cheap, the vargheists definitely need to be replaced with dragons or terrorgheists, they take a beating doing anythingthis also still doesnt do anything in a siege other then the usual vampire goes in and devastates everything with spells
>>583513964do you wanna fight mostly empire early, with options for fighting nurgle warriors, beastmen, dwarfs, and skaven, or do you want to fight mostly bretonnians early, with options for fighting dwarfs, wood elves, greenskins, the empire, and high elvesalso do you want your lord to sprint up to people and chop them in half or cackle and dance as his minions do all the killingplay izzy instead of vlad getting hero experience and stats is better than a 10% movement bonus on all armies, and you can make the legendary hero spouse into a lord later if you feel like not having them embedded
>>583514330>>583514493Oh well, that sucks.Thank god headcanon exists then.

>>583515142Just don't be like the Vladfag with the breeding fetish.
>>583515047>ghost frontlinedoesn't this get dumpstered by daemons/lategame warriors? you at least have enough flying to take out skaven weapons teams, but magical attacks on everything murders ghosts fast
so I've been trying out neferata for a few days and it's been very fun except for the part where I have to micro the lahmian vamp heroes every few secondsit's just so fucking badthey'll be bonking on an enemy lord/hero, get flanked by a basic unit, and then try to attack them even if you keep telling them to focus on the lord while the lord happily runs away, if the hero manages to get back on them repeat againI don't remember heroes ever being THIS retarded and dropping target EVERY 2-3 secondsalso the flying horses feel like noob traps
>>583515047as nagass I just use necromancers
>>583515193But vampires can't breed, anon.Even headcanon can't be stretched that much.
>>583515047Fully buffed Bats have like 54 MDefFully buffed Varghests have like 34 MDefI feel like something to fucked there.
>>583515142vampires are kill-on-sight for a reason, anon. monsters are monsters. it'd be honestly really weird if being a vampire DIDN'T fuck you up, because then it'd mean that coincidentally only evil people have gotten the blood kiss and no good person has ever been turned, which is way stupider than becoming a monster because of the curse of vampirism
I wish if you paired a unit with an active ability with a unit that doesn't then the active ability would still show. It's very annoying using things like sisters of the thorn when you either have to group them separately, click on them, or just never use their actives
>>583515193Yeah like, fetishize vampires all you want man, hell half their mythos is about how hot and horny they are.Just don't be fucking delusional and claim vampires are actually morally better than humans because you can't deal with having a boner for an evil fuck.
>>583514493I thought it was Varghulf on the inside, Vargheists were from Mannfred putting warpstone into starved ones, wasn't it?
>>583515436Good, then you're not like him.
>>583515534it should just show the abilities of all selected yeah
>>583515504Hey, vampires are different from setting to setting.It's classical vampire struggle, you know, fight between the beastial and humane parts of yourself.Some lose that battle, and become assholes. Some fight it, and remain good guys.
>>583515607>Vargheists were from Mannfred putting warpstone into starved onesWhy can't he raise their unit cap then?
>>583515534i hope they let us do this in future installments because this is something that got figured out back in 2001 for RTSes. i get it if their horrible spaghetti code backend for wh3 doesn't really support it, but they've supposedly (from what i've seen) cleaned up a lot of that stuff for the next title so they really won't have any excuse
>>583515596But that's the whole point - vampfu can be baddies, but still fixable.
>>583515596this would be Aranessa if C.A and Games Workshop weren't british companies

>>583515607i dont remember it's been over a decade since i cared enough to read up on everything. i know that most varghulfs willingly became what they are>>583515747warhammer as a setting is pretty cut and dry "if it sounds like/looks like a monster, it's gonna be a monster" with only a handful of counter-examples (lizardmen who definitely aren't good, zoats which are hardly understood, tigermen, crowmen, tree spirits who definitely aren't good, i think that's actually it)

>Those who are given the Kiss do have reason to be afraid, for the experience is as terrifying as it is exhilarating. The hot, hunting blood of the Vampire flows into the veins, burning out the weak, mortal blood as it goes. What happens to the life and soul of the Human during this transformation is unknown, and every Vampire that speaks of it has described something different. Some mortal priests suggest that they enter the Garden of Morr but are turned back by the God because they are an abomination to his sight. Scholars and wizards sometimes talk of them moving between the realms, trapped forever between this world and the next. Whatever the truth, every Vampire awakens with a newly forged spirit. They retain the thoughts and memories of the mortal they once were, but within them now is a dark beast, driving them to hunt and prey, to revel in their every twisted vice, and to glory in all their dark desires. Some see this desire as a separate force—the Beast Within—whilst others believe it is simply the benefit of no longer being burdened with the weight of a soul.Later when talking about the change itself...>There is something else new, too; something far more powerful than simple physical changes. The mind is cleansed and perfected. Where there was doubt, there is now certainty. Where there was weakness, there is now resolution. And where there was fear of death, there is now unshakeable courage. For the first time, the Vampire is truly the master of his own soul and knows something of what it means to be a God. And with this self-mastery also comes the power to master lesser creatures; the Vampire is master of himself and of all he surveys.There's more but it's scattered across a few pages since it's both physical and mental changes talked about, and too much for one post.

Is the allied unit limit in your army per-faction? If you ally with two factions can you cram 2x allied unit limit worth of units into your army?
>>583515248there is a an ancillary that causes enemies to lose magical attacks, but there is also a lot of demon things that dont have magical attacks, I realized though I never encountered tzeentch with this army which could have been a huge issue
>>583516595
>>583516791It's per-army.
>>583516791Per army, you can only have 4 allied units in an army regardless of how many different allies you get them from. Some lords have options to increase the amount iirc but not many, I recommend a mod if you want more.
>>583516589>This rush of power and control is intoxicating, often overwhelmingly so. Many Vampires lose themselves in it and begin a rush of excess and glorification in their new strength and control. Innocents are slaughtered by the score, rivals are butchered, old enemies tortured, taboos are broken, and dark heresies committed. This behaviour often brings the hawthorn and the silver down fast, however, so a wise parent-in-darkness stays close to his spawn to make sure they do not lose themselves entirely. Keeping them near at hand, they teach them the ways of their new blood and, more importantly, the ways of their new bloodline.>Another, equally orgiastic addition accompanies the increase in strength and speed—the mind of the predator. Not only do Vampires have the senses of a hunting beast, they can also hear, smell, and see blood, wherever it hides. In a crowded room, a Vampire can hear every heartbeat, feel the blood pouring through thick jugular veins, and smell even the tiniest wound as if it were the aroma of a blazing roast ox. And with the predator’s desire also come the predator’s skills. The Vampire is naturally adept at moving silently and staying invisible. Without even thinking about it, he is a natural tracker, an instinctual hunter, and a perfect combatant. The wolf needs no instruction to know when to spring and where to drive his fangs deep and neither does the Vampire. He kills by instinct, without any thought or hesitation, and he adores every minute of it.>The Red Thirst, however, is not like any mortal hunger. It is a constant awareness of need, a tide of desire that rises and falls but is always present, keeping the predator’s instinct never far from the mind. Even after drinking to the fill, the thirst never fully departs, and after long periods without feeding, it becomes an undeniable torment far beyond any mortal addiction to mandrake or other narcotics.I'll probably stop there.
You know what I love? Opening menus. I love it. Especially ones that open in a panel that covers the whole screen. Especially menus with nested drop-down menus that list things that I can click on. And when I click on things I get a popup that tells me what my clicking on the menu did. This excites me. This makes me happy. This sparks joy.
>>583516856word i forgot about the dampening follower, that'll help a ton yeah. thankfully, with your startpos, by the time you start fielding huge ghost stacks the only way you'll run into tzeentch stuff is if a tzeentch stack rolls up on you during an archaon end time event which is really really specific and probably avoidable. maybe try to avoid caster lord enemies though
>>583516502I mean, they were released 7 years ago.They didn't become worse, people liked them at release.So what changed? Not enough panel slop? I'd argue they actually have plenty. With offices and loyalty mechanics. Maybe they were powercrept - but that's not their problems. Besides, you can enjoy a challenging campaign for a change, since every new faction is so busted.
I think that there should be a vampire coast startpos in the eastern ocean in IEEE
>>583517348In the settings you can cause Luthor to spawn out there.I don't remember where you can set Aranessa to, but IIRC you can move her as well.
>>583517348Actually why can't those fuckers use the special helf sea lanes? They should really be able to go around more since they are pirates and all.
>>583517463That's Lokhir's unique mechanic to steal those.
>>583516595this but unironically
>>583517463I have often thought this>>583517447Is it a submod, or a start-of-game thingUnfortunately the other vampirates are so relevant to their specific locales that I'd want Cylostra to be able to move, not them
>>583516951>>583517029thanks family
>>583517664If you use MCT settings and go to IEE you can tick boxes to move everyone everywhere.
clan moulder or skryre for stormfiend shenanigans?
Taurox is fun
>>583517643I like the economy autism of Chorfs and Aislinn but I don't think more factions should become "Okay so you get cumtokens from this building, which then convert to dickdollars at a 2:1 ratio according to this provincial decree, and you have gunk markers that you can set on the tower of eiffel for +6% model size to Free Sea Warriors...", i think it's best left to specific factions that are more specialized. like, chorfs are known first and foremost for being insatiable industrialists, so them being the most involved econ autists feels right.
>>583517889>All these damn bimbo reskin mods lately>Still no mod to make Taurox's model into Cathyl
>>583514541mine are broken and aren't actually at war with me
>>583516595How "Corpses by Province" work on the sea ?
>>583517791Thanks for that bro, I'll check it out when I'm done trying out the Jade-Blooded cheat
>>583515142warhammer lore is bad anyway so you have to rely on that
>>583517119they don't need much imo. more tech upgrades to make some rarely used units nicer (and grapeshot for carronades) like more HP for depth guard, something to make animated hulks not useless, missile block and plating for the big crabs. pirate coves need to be much easier to get (remove cooldown/increasing cost for agents?) and for digging for treasure to be actually worth doing.
>>583518073i'm really disappointed that the nsfw lizardwomen kroxigors are traditional buxom lady bodyplan and not ultrawide brick shithouses like normal kroxigors
Is the AI programmed to just annoy you?>in a really cool slugfest war against the Empire. They win some, I win some. >They sneak an army in fog of war through SEVERAL of my provinces>Attacks and occupies a region in my core territory far from the front lines. This doesn't really change anything, it's just fucking annoying.
>>583518408Can't say I relate, sorry.More about the saurus myself though.
>>583518469AI is programmed not to run headlong into fights it can't win.So it avoids areas you're ready for and looks for undefended settlements.This is to simulate it rushing in to fight you.
>>583518469Well maybe you should have allied with those factions in the fog of war
>>583514946Khalida. Set up a coven in Lahmia and use the secret tunnels via web of power to teleport there.
>>583518469Tl;Dr yesIt use to be much worse at the beginning of W3 where they would almost never fight fairish fights at all or come across the world to fight (you). This still happens sometimes but is a little better nowadays. If a faction is being cowardly but you can't attack them head on either, use ambush and not right in front of them unless you have very high chances.
>>583518073do mods disable cheevos?
>>583519359No.
>>583519508you're telling me i couldve had all these goon mods this whole fucking time and still gotten my cheevos. kms
>the virgin tier 2 landmark vs the chad tier 1 basic infrastructure
>>583519747Honestly I've played with goon mods a few times and I just don't see the point. While you're gaming, you're too focused on the game to really enjoy any lewd models. The most you ever do is look at them once, go "Nice", then the next time you look at it up close 3 hours later it mostly just breaks your immersion.
Rat my screen
>>583519950landmark is an extra building anon
>>583519950CA really could have touched up Manny's landmark now that it's completely useless to him.
>>583519986im gonna get the more tasteful ones. making all the chaos marauders or teutogen guards butt naked women is retarded but i wouldnt mind slaanesh or druchi with some more appeal
also here's how my final battle went.
>>583520180I do keep the Slaanesh daemonettes having two boobs mod installed. Still though, lewdest I ever got was stuff like the big tiddy Miao Ying or Katarin mods, and it was still that feeling of forgetting about it until it suddenly just breaks your immersion.
i cant fucking beat thanquols first quest battle, and why the fuck does the empire have more bodies then a skaven invasion
Less Is Good
how 2 fix the drakenhof templar problem>blood knights T4 swords and shields all rounder 60 models>drakenhof templars T5 greatswords APAI 60 models>blood dragons T5 halberds APAL 32 models>black grail knights T4 RoR swords and shields 12 models
>>583521268just put all ur ranged shit in the back and let thanquol tank everything near the bell thingthen when skreech pops up immediately go after the empire missile stuff so it wont cuck skreechthen its just a matter of taking care of skreech so the retard doesnt die
>>583476083At a minimum every undead race should be able to collect and benefit from the books like Mannlet. No I don't care about making him more generic, if a faction is only unique because it keeps a mechanic that should be widely available to itself then it doesn't deserve to be unique.
>>583518113They are always at war with me, but they declare war on the settlement owner where the scheme complication that generated them occurred. They raise the settlement or die and just stand there for 6 turns. TCALUK!
>>583518469>>583519246i still remember the mortal empire days, when every minor settlement had -1 slots because you needed to wall every settlement, or else SOMEONE was gonna spend five turns dodging every stack you have and every settlement you own JUST to sack and raze that undefended hamlet.
are masterplans just ass or what
I asked a Flayerkin if he wanted to join our Norscan basketball league and I think I made him sad
>>583522364the army master plan is basically autowin any settlement battle
Why can't my Teutogens beat Stormfiends?
>>583522347I still play Mortal Empires and that is a sad but true burden.
>>583521606Aren't Blood Knights supposed to be equal to Grail Knights?
>>583520130That is the touched up version.
>>583522347I still do it out of habit and then feel like I've wasted far too much money.
>>583522751On the bright side, all those wall garrions artificially inflate your military rating, making the AI less likely to attack you at a bad time.
>>583522496and then your neighbor that you've got NAP and trade with but not an alliance because you can't trust him not to fuck you over with it zips in and colonizes the ruins before you can even recruit an army to respond to the problem, border goring your empire and torpedoing either your reliability or your ability to ever have a provincial commandment again >>583522751it sucked so bad. i do it in the frontier settlements that i'm not expanding towards, but nowadays you can muster an army in time to stop anyone grabbing your land and the AI actually takes field battles like a sane person instead of hiding in their castles all day and playing cat and mouse in your land
>>583522619In 2, I remember Blood Knights being better than Grail Knights if you cast at least 1 Invocation of Nehek on them.VC vs Bretonnia was a golden matchup in multiplayer, you had to know that stuff.
>>583522950>and then your neighbor that you've got NAP and trade with but not an alliance because you can't trust him not to fuck you over with it zips in and colonizes the ruins before you can even recruit an army to respond to the problem, border goring your empire and torpedoing either your reliability or your ability to ever have a provincial commandment againWhy do you remind me of this pain?
>>583519950Maybe it upgrades with an ancillary like the Mordheim one does.
now the AI just sacks your city then stands around wanking
>>583523097to remind you that, as much as you'd like to complain now when things feel like they suck, you've lived through worse and this is comparatively fine actually
>>583522303Let's not. The book hunt sucks for Tomb Kings, it sucks for Mannfred and Volkmar, and adding it to more LLs isn't going to make it not suck.
>>583522619It's basically Buffy rules. There are scrub vampires that named characters get to kill without breaking stride and there are big deal vampires that can brawl with multiple grail knights at once for fun. Both are blood knights.
the fact that the AI doesn't try to get the books of Nagash and they just stand there on rogue armies waiting for you to come get them is lame. I want to see one migrate around the planet from people stealing it and getting it stolen from them
>>583521964i didnt realize the reinforcments was artillery on my first try and wasnt sure why i was getting slaughtered, i fixed my positioning and just had units ready to slam them, and yeah thanquol is a fucking monster in combatgotrek died but felix ran away at like full fucking health you slippery little shit, i know you fight way worse things then skaven why the fuck are you running away
>>583523281I am actually playing ME right now and I do not get a reprieve from such shenanigans. Oh well.
>>583523612Books basically don't exist for AI, even Nagash ignores them until the endgame triggers at which point he gets any you the player don't have secured for free. Kinda dumb but it's also not really worth making the AI go for them if they don't do anything for the majority of races.
Best faction/Lord for a comfykino The Old World (mod) campaign with unit caps?
coven throne or zombie dragon mount?
it kind of sucks how the campaign is basically over by the time I get to use the Land Ships (Mortis Engines) on Elspeth
>>583523951Zombie Dragon is better 9/10 times.Coven Throne is only better in situations where you want a super chariot.
>>583523609One is a blood knight. The other is a blood knight of the Ordo Draconis. There's a difference.
>>583523175You forgot your copium edit.
>>583471792CHAOS roids
>>583523951Dragon for min/max. Coven for aura

>>583524460Hand over the Yin-Yin, CA.
>>583524434jok'tok
>>583524460She's literally Aqua
>>583524434Did they give this nigga Nurgle's plague panel in the end?I've heard there was a talk about it in the beginning of WH3.
>>583524460Should've added her instead of a furry anime woman with a bad voice acting.
>>583524460I'm not usually about correction and mind break, and I never stand up for elves. But damn I hope this bitch gets raped by elves on the daily.
Why are skaven so fucking rich I made an 18 stormgrinder army at +2k upkeep and am now at +6k upkeep after recruiting it. Just going to drown the map in stormgrindeds at this point
>>583524434do skaven still get bomb collars in the local province if they get the major settlement defense building, baiting the lizards into fights where i could menace below bomb collars was how i survived his early game
>>583525438Do you think she's jealous of her sister fucking Sigmar?
>>583525116Never happened. He got a unique building that pumps out his plague and buffs while plagued but that's it
Fucking crazy. Anime mods don't even like 3 hours on the steamworkshopIt's going to be so much worse when they migrate to mod.io
>>583525440In TWWH, there's a subgroup called skavenfags.Now, not everyone who plays skaven from time to time is a skaven fag. They can be fun for a normal player as well.But, skavenfags are different in many ways.One which is - they're actually really bad at the game. Main reason is - most of them are not strategy/Total War players, and play Warhammer 3 just because it has rats.CA, knowing this fact, makes every new Skaven lord extremely busted, so even the average skavenfag can win a n/n campaign with his new Lord, which encourages them to buy DLC.For that, I despise both CA and skavenfags. But I despise CA more, after all balance is in their hands. Maybe if they weren't so patronizing to skavenfags, some of them would've actually learned how to play the game.As it stands though, only Queek, Tretch and Skrolk are more or less balanced. They still have busted skaven units, but at least they lack cheat menus every other Skaven faction comes with.
>>583525735Lame.
just clicked manual fight to minimize casualties and realized it was a siege battle
>Start with Tyrion for 1 turn recruitment times.>Research Teachings of Hoeth for speed and perfect vigor.>Research Wardens of Ulthuan for +20% missile block chance and +10 bonus vs infantry.>Research Starmetal Blades for +5 melee attack and +10% weapon strength.>Embed a Loremaster of Hoeth to give them Expert Charge Defence, Ballistic Plating, Immune to Contact Effects and -5% upkeep.>Pick Dedicated to Hoeth on Tyrion/whichever other lord for another -5% and +5 leadership.Holy fuck. Is there any other single unit in the game that can stack as many buffs as CHADMASTERS of Hoeth? Aspiring Champions I guess?
Did they remove the ability to see the battle healing cap? It's literally not where google and the wiki claim they are.
how will alpha legion improve on what the changeling has done for wh3?
>>583526161basic bitch elven archers get more buffs, you dumb fuck
>>583526418You know that whole system of imperial suspicion and dealing with various governors that the campaign has? That's a pretty good scene for the Alpha Legion to mess around by being able to play every single other faction, influence or impersonate governors, and manipulate the suspicion mechanic for others.
>>583526418>TraitorslopShouldn't be playable in TW40K. They should just be NPC armies that spawn just to get dunked on by Imperium factions.
>>583526161Pretty sure Lothern Seaguard can get more buffs going.
>>583526492Basic bitch elven archers didn't start out from the baseground of already being one of the best infantry units in the game, you dumb fuck.
>>583526418Something completely different, I want Korn to not be Bloodlettingslop too
>>583526625Elven influence mechanic that works on all AI factions
>>583526761they are
I'm around turn 70 or so as Nagash. I don't mind not having Vlad or having to beat him into submission, ditto Neferata, but it annoys me to get the blood knight I have to go take nuln and make a t5 building.Just going to take Nagash once I stabilize the fronts on a tour to go over there, get what I need for Krell, take Nuln and turn it into Planetside 2 the crown.I prefer LH to LLs most of the time. Fun to let your own dudes become legendary
>>583527002It's kinda annoying desu, you eventually get to that point wher eyou can just solo nagash with everything (or put an army around him to get up his auto resolve)Did you get all the movement refresh + book 3? that is what truly breaks himYou just ping pong around settlements like it's nothing, works SO well when regions are clumped up like the Empire
>>583524460>dominate the sea>never mentioned everhmm
I like playing Cathay. Is Bhashiva worth it?
SPIDERMAN BRAND NEW DAY IS OUT!!!PIRATE IT!!!!!!
>>583528602Unfortunately, her mechanics are pretty mediocre. The idea of doing stuff to help out Zhao Ming as like a bonded mercenary is neat, but he's so retarded and it restricts you of a lot of stronger cathay units and tigermen don't have good ranged options or anything like that. Better to just confederate her as one of the other factions tbdesu
>>583528602Thank you (in advance) for doing your part to fund Total War: Medieval III and/or Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 and/or Total War: War of 1812.
>>583528745Yw cuz
>>583528739Dang that kinda sucks then
>>583528602She's my favorite Cathay campaign.The other anon is right about the Zhao Ming thing but that's only one mechanic out of like 3 or 4 and precisely the one you barely even have to interact with because iron favor is extremely easy to get, so I have no idea why that'd be a deal breaker for him.
>>583528479Well there is that one time...>In the past, Yin-Yin ordered a Cathayan invasion of the Southlands which ended in disaster, with the destruction of her entire fleet. For this failure, she was greatly admonished by the Dragon Emperor, and the Cathayan Grand Dragon Fleet took 100 years to rebuild to its full strength. The only survivor of the fleet was Yin-Tuan, the captain of one of the great war junks, who later told the story of his journey to the Dragon Emperor.Based frogs putting the bratty Chinese int heir place.
>>583528602Would you rather fuck a tiger or a dragon is the question
How does the Alarielle becomes weaker as Chaos grows stronger actually work?
>>583528874Iron favour is easy to get, but a bunch of the units being locked behind 'complete this mercenary mission' was really frustrating, because the missions were randomly generated and thus often bullshit, you could only accept one at once, and getting the most elite cathay units was then locked behind it
>>583528901Cathay would be an actually interesting faction if the implications of retarded nepotism like this were actually explored
>>583514330>to mass murderers>Endtimes being canon
>>583529307They sort of did in their latest Arcane Journal (Army/lore book). But before that it was non stop utopian slop.
>>583529121You don't need the more elite units though, like, what do you want, Celestial Dragon Guard? Dude, you have Iron Claw and Jade Crossbows with insignias. CDG can go eat a dick, Bhashiva doesn't need them unless you really, really want them for flavor. Just do your tiger + jade warrior stacks and simply check the mission board from time to time to see if you can get one that's reasonable.Like, sure, CA should go back and reform the way Zhao Ming picks targets because as it is that mechanic kinda falls flat, but it's really not a big deal at all because it's not even a truly important one.
How do I get a Lahmian wife?
>>583529307The celestial general has a line that vaguely criticizes the Dragons. something about not being able to ask about people who have been dissapeared.
>>583529497Kill themRaise them
>>583529497Step 1: Be a chadWhich you already failed because you're on /twg/
VON CARSTEINS PLEASE OCCUPY THESE SETTLEMENTS. I have been killing every enemy army and sacking them ahead of your arrival, just please walk up and occupy them so I can keep my under empires.
>>583529497Be an important enough Empire nobleman or general that Neferata would want to get you on her side, then be a cool enough dude that the lahmian sent to seduce you genuinely falls for you.That or be Felix.
>>583529578/twg/ is full of chads, like me.You're the beta outlier.
>>583529397End times is the only canon.
>>583529731Based
>>583528602Her grand cannons are totally busted
damn Bretonnia pulled a Rohirrim to save Altdorf at the last minute
>>583530117They should do a unqiue Chaos Invasion quest battle for each race and Bretonnia's should be saving an Empire city under siege.
>>583529731Even before TWWH there was Storm of Chaos.And TWWH is clearly it's own continuity.Where my vampire wife Ulrika is a very nice girl.
Ended up getting a bonus key after buying some things.The game is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1488200/Symphony_of_War_The_Nephilim_Saga/I already have it.The code is F8KVE-C9B4T-6452GIf it fails it's because another anon was simply quicker on the draw.
>>583529905Those are always great. Most people get the fire rain rocket battery but I always bring 3 grand cannons. They shred infantry and single targets like warp lightning cannons.
Does Bel'akor has his own story in the game?Like, does he have narrative about fucking over Archaon and Chaos Gods?
>>583529307YinYin isn't that bad. She shreds dark elf fleets all day long and sinks black arks for fun. She is one of the greatest generals there are.Also, Cathay is the best faction ever made.
>>583520194Man a lot of lords recently are pretty much just overpowered huh
>>583531389If that was true, why the fuck is Lokhir in eastern Cathay???
>>583531486Well it is true. There is no arguing about it.Why he's there is simple.. she isn't in the game.YinYin could easily flatten Lokhir and Aislinn.
>>583531593Elgi won't like this post.
>>583531098NopeHe has a bit of his old lore if you play realm of chaos but thats it
>>583531593More likely scenario Lokhir got a brand new sea dragon cloak
>>583531453Took you long enough to notice lmao.
>>583526770i treat khorne as a high score/time attack challenge. all the thinking is in the routing step, everything else is just rote execution and in the moment adjustments to keep the ball in the air
>>583530693Storm of Chaos sucked ass. No one gives a fuck about Valten and Grimgor is mogged by Morglum Necksnapper.>it's own continuityIt's not any continuity. Grom has been dead by 75 years by the time of Karl Franz being dead. It's just them picking everything they could do make for a fun game.
>>583531917>It's not any continuity. Grom has been dead by 75 years by the time of Karl Franz being dead.Which makes it it's own continuity. Where Grom and Franz are alive at the same time. And where there is no "canon" ending or anything like that.So you can pretty much ignore End Times and Storm of Chaos. As you noticed, both of them suck ass anyway.
>>583531824That's impossible.It is written that YinYin sinks black arks without even being there. She controls the waves to flip those things over and make em sink. Have you any idea how much force you need to flip a black ark?And in 1v1 combat Lokhir has absolutely no way of killing her because she's immortal, a sort of half god. You'd need Archaon's sword to kill a cathayan dragon. Lokhir gets to watch his dragon be eaten and before he gets eaten.
Grimgor rapes Cathay to death canonically btw.
>>583532480Malestrom rapes YinYin in dragon then Lokhir has his way with her when she turns human. The Blessed Dread 2.
>>583532541Cute attempt but you are speaking of a different faction and game. Cathay in Fantasy has no dragons, it's just humans who are ancient and good traders.Old World Cathay has all these dragons and Grimgor would get mauled by Zhao if he even attempted to invade.>>583532679It can't. She's as powerful as a half god. Nor can you force a dragon to shapeshift.You need someone as powerful as Orion to take on a cathayan dragon.
>>583532541Glottkin rapes Franz to death canonically btw.
New Thread>>583533024>>583533024>>583533024
>>583532993Yeah, but this is lame.Unlike Grimgor rolling over chinks.Which is very funny.
