>For some reason
It's because Bretonnia is so outdated and weak they get steamrolled every time. If you leave Bretonnia alone it's always conquered by Kemmler now, except in the rare cases where Louen or Morgiana roll a much higher potential, in which case it's just a stalemate since Kemmler will lose the sieges every time but he gets all his armies back next turn so he never gets pushed back, either. So if you're playing any Order faction near Bretonnia you end up having to do cleanup, every time.

You can test this out yourself.

I got nostalgic lately and started to recall all TW cringe
Do you remember how CA tried to hype up Isabella? Everyone was malding that VCounts are again a favorite of devs and got another free LL, while Empire didn't. And the selling point? Vlad leaves Manfred's faction with her. And instead starts in that small Swartzhafen next to Drakenhof. You could conquer Drakenhof turn one or two and then campaign was identical. BUT it was a big deal back then.

Another thing, there was some rising TW eceleb kinggobbo, something like this. Even got animated intro and people here in /twg/ were hyping him up. Then there was some official MP campaign hosted by CA and you could win a prize. Guy lost and melted down crying that he needed those money and then everyone forgot about him

Established characters in WHFB which serve as superheroes in TW in a vast majority of cases did not have personality and weren't memorable until TW hired VAs and had them record few meme lines. From that point community flanderized them and projected personality onto what are otherwise complete footnotes, which is how GW does all characters, which are just unique minis. Most obviously Karl Franz being a Captain America in charge of Avengers summoning le elector counts is TW invention

Bretonnia factions ARE the problem. They used to handle Kemmler and keep him boxed in to the Bretonnian area, now that doesn't happen and he just naturally expands up towards the Empire since the Bretonnia factions get stomped in by him. If he actually pushed towards Louen instead he would completely wipe them.

>>584267852
Like anything else there's a small kernel of people who are only obsessed because they're genuinely pathological and just by pure happenstance this ended up being the thing they will spend the healthy years of their life on. The fact that CA actually deserves the hate is basically immaterial to these people, they just do this because this is what they do. If it wasn't total war, it would be my little pony or barney or a set of singling keys

The larger crowd around that kernel are more or less looking for reasons to not spend money on a game series they like, and the performance of ritualistic negativity is just how they combat the temptation to consoom. Many of them will, ironically, buy the game after crying about it for weeks because the 'hate' was just a coping mechanism and a desperate attempt to not win another "fell for it again award." If CA was a reputable company there would be fewer people who are both addicted to their games and terrified of wasting money on another Rome 2, but they reap what they sow here.

Even then, you still don't want to run graveguard frontline over handmaiden frontline. Graveguards buffed by 10 iron pits will have 200 armor and sure they'll be tanky. But handmaidens will just obliterate the enemy frontline instead, while arguably being just as tanky because they have like 70 melee defense after buffs compared to the grave guard's 40.

I'm auto resolving any siege win with no unit deaths unless I got some one man army doom units and/or a bunch of artillery and I can't afford to wait around for units to replenish.

I only care for sieges if I can do them methodically and not feel like I'm racing against some bullshit mechanic like the supplies counter. Sieges in the history games are so much fucking better, I legitimately like fighting those. Significantly better map designs that aren't so blocky and uninspired, they have a nice mix of choke points and open space. No left over middle pieces with wall destruction and they create rubble piles you can still get a height advantage from. No supply system just a set amount of barricades/traps, and the ability to set buildings on fire and slowly reduce enemy leadership through settlement destruction.
>>
>>584270519
Yes, she is. She's a complete farce, no female could ever actually be a competent leader of any kind, let alone a brilliant military commander, same with Miao Ying. The fact you think such characters aren't a complete joke that completely ruin the verisimilitude of the settings they're in is ridiculous. Female characters only value is in their sex appeal, if they aren't there for that reason and that reason alone, they have no business in any fantasy setting, and they especially have no business pretending to be warriors, wizards and commanders.

Actually how DOES it work in Warhammer? Isn't mastering the winds something that takes tremendous amounts of time and study, which is why the vast majority of Humans can at best master one wind while stuff like Elves and Slann can master everything? Or is it just that Humans are that genetically inferior when it comes to magic usage?
>>
>>584271075
I really don't get how you think saying womens only value is in their sexual appeal is faggotry when it is inherently the exact opposite. Faggots actually try to value women for more than that, since they're incapable of valuing them for their actual worth.

>>584271725
Fundamentally, you don't need intellect, just practice & being born with magical aptitude, you can't learn to be a mage from zero through research. Sure in the empire mages are inclined to find applications for their magic and are culturally pressured to undergo training to safely vield it and research it in an academic setting, but that's not the deciding factor in wether one can be a decent mage, it's the aptitude itself and your race. Smart human mages have the same limit as dumb ones, they can't properly attune to more than one lore, because they are human and have an inferior connection to the winds than say elves.

This is how vast majority of those characters is designed like
GW designers make a cool looking mini and then there is a paragraph of backstory to go along with them. They always did it like this and still do.
IF those characters are lucky they will get a throwaway book which GW will never reprint.

And whfb playerbase doesn't read those books, let alone Total War newfags who only discovered this setting through Total War and all their interaction with it is through this game. Few lines of meme Voice Acting in this game is all that is responsible for "memorable" status of those characters.

They can get a lot of magic resistance. At least if you're playing Nagash they can through the black pyramid. I assume with Neferata they can too.

And physical resistance too. And poison. And vigor buffs (I believe not perfect vigor tho). And basic stats buffs like more melee defense, more healing cap (they have the hunger iirc)

Greater Daemons usually require a whole named character to beat except for that one time a regiment of Halberdiers took down a Named Bloodthirster but Bloodthirsters are the WHFB equivalent to the Avatar of Khaine(powerful unit designated as the jobber to whoever the current book/lore wants to suck the dick of).

If she is:
1. Hot
2. Not gay
It's ok for a woman to be a warrior. Or pretty much anything, really.
Woman must serve as a specific fantasy/fetish for the player/viewer/whatever.
Being a warrior/leader should be secondary to being a woman/loyal wife/someone's love interest.
Like, even that stupid female Dwarf Lord from TOW could be salvaged if she was a cute shortstack.
Nothing wrong with women in fantasy, it's just that GW's woman are all ugly and sexless dykes trying to larp as equal to men lmao.

Yeah. It's because auto resolve vastly overvalues ammunition, ranged, and armor, none of which VCunts have in abundance. So your manual battles will always be a much better result than your auto resolve.

>>584275158
Attacking. Defending is easy as fuck, just boring and you feel stupid for playing it since you can just exploit the dumb as shit AI and slaughter their entire army in a single chokepoint. Attacking is tedious garbage that requires paying attention to too many annoying and stupid things, like the retarded base building and the even more retarded pathing your armies will take if you don't micromanage them every step of the way. God damn siege battles in this game are so shit.

>>584275828
It's actually harder since the AI uses basic tactics like sending cav/flyers at an angle towards your ranged, and actually tries to move out of your vortex spells and artillery fire. Just turn off the AI stat buffs, they're pointless and just make an already ranged centric game even moreso, since they fuck over melee armies far more than they fuck over ranged armies.

It's right there in the settings my man, AI combat buffs or whatever, it's a slider. Once you set it to VH it will set it to max, just adjust it back to neutral. I mean, you CAN play with it on but like I said it just makes ranged that much better for the player since the buffs it gives the AI hurt when fielding melee units way more.

like with mortars, u cannot see mortar shells as they're coming down, and if u can its already too late to move, see irl mortars

somehow the AI smells them enough to not just start moving but exactly in the direction it needs to to doge
it'd take me out of it a bit
I just want tougher AR man
why is AR tied to battle diff and not to campaign
that's so incredibly retarded, how has no one complained about that

Nah just the same kind of heavily restrictive unit caps that chorfs get, not that it really matters on Nagash since he doesnt need units in his army

People used to complain about it on reddit, most people don't see the problem.
So it's just a mod thing.

I recommend these cheats:

For a rebalance:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3501256396

For simply forcing you to actually fucking play it:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791466903

For giving you positive reinforcement to play manually instead of AR:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3783839617

Pick and choose the one you like.
>>
>>584279613
Would be kinda funny if you were playing Nagash, confederated Manfred, and he still said it while you were controlling him as nagash.
>>
>>584279724
It matters for Nagash because he is only one army. He can't be everywhere at once. The more you expand the more it start to weigh on you that he doesn't have a real economy and you're dealing with vasts amount of lands with way fewer armies on the field than your enemies. And god forbid you're at war with several factions at once.

Unless you learn how to teleport Nagash around, he needs it.
>>
>>584280174
It matters until you learn how effective his ranged unit buffs are.
Spamming low tier ranged units across many armies that play hyper aggressively will turn any Nagash campaign into a massive wrecking ball.
>>
>>584279916
the rebalance one you linked seems to make it easier though... not harder, i don't want that

>>
>>584280275
The rebalance one doesn't make it easier it changes the stat weights so things actually make sense, so armor, ranged and ammunition aren't so ridiculously valued compared to everything else. It also adjusts values for sieges so if you try to siege with actual artillery VS sieging with cav, you will get better results from the former rather than the latter, which is not the case with the standard auto resolve.
>>
>>584280275
>so hard is neutral AR huh? how's the AI in battles on hard? less insane dodges of arty?
Less than VH, but mortars will be dodged almost 100% of the time, and spells dodged like 50% of the time.

It is an very well established fact that the Fay Enchantress is a very jealous woman, and the only young girls she returns to Bretonnia once they have grown up are the ugly ones. (The pretty ones and the ugly men are sold to Drycha, while the handsome men remain in the basement of her palace on her secret and forbidden island.)
Repanse was directly blessed by the Lady, which prevented any pre-selection by the Fay. It is no coincidence that she now finds herself on a mission far away in Arabia.

morathi is batshit but i feel like tyrion got the better end of the bargain there

I think the closest to it was Morathi brainwashing a high elf noblewoman to make her act "cruel and lascivious" or something after she expressed reservations about letting Ulthuan be overtaken by a murder cult in the name of keeping Malekith off the throne.

I agree on the sphinx looking great, always hated teclis awkwardly t-posing there though. Should have been a separate model. alternatively he should have been the sphinx
>>584285556
It's the other way around, ossiarch bonereapers are based on the end times stuff and that's why they're the worst range in AoS.

Howa re there not better mods for the Sylvanian mortal units? This one makes them look better but sticks them with a stupid zombie as a unit captain. And there's still no voice mod to make them sound like Sylvanian servants.

wtf that picture doesn't look like my gooner fantasies

I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the Ossiarch range was designed during the End Times and GW just added a couple to Fantasy. But in either case, they share the same awful design language.

That would surprise me. Obr didn't come out until late 2019, and we know from other armies that GW works with a 3, at most 4 year timespan for these kinds of things. They would've been released earlier if they were in production for end times.

Quite a few anons here hold grudges like the dawi. When I bully their fav factions they get very upset.
A few yell at me when I stack 19 heroes again or build pure weapon team armies. They get super cranky and say it's unfun what I do as if they were playing coop with me but in reality in doesn't affect them at all.
Oh and another big thing.. like 90% of this thread are grumpy lorelets who get angy when I post any sort of lore texts from the lexicanum. Recently an anon had grand melty cause the lore says Cathay invented gunpowder.

Just played a game in tts against nu custodes as elves
Could barely leave my deployment zone, meanwhile custodes were on my dz on round 2

So with

and
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3814285609

We can now perfectly alter the nature and composition of battles. Playing with the unit size and army size solves so many problems with the game IMO.

>Smaller unit sizes weaken legendary lords and make them easier to kill PROVIDED you up the max unit slots you have by a proportionate amount. Yes everything is more fragile and easier to die from bullshit, but you can now take more units for cheaper so you shouldn't care as much.
>More punishing for poor unit management unit by unit (requires more skill), but more forgiving to the battle as a whole. Just because you lose your elites doesn't mean you're out of the fight.
>Suboptimal units have a shot and doomstacks are less powerful. Meaning players are more incentivized to have more diversity in their armies.
>Gen snipes are harder due to more units on the field moving independently.
>Actually easier on framerate since it's the number of models in view that tanks the framerate. Not necessarily the number of units

Im going to test further anons, but I think I cracked the code for perfect total war battles

>Maximize unit slot amount (more units per battle)
>Minimize unit size (less models per unit)

They then abandoned Vampire Counts for a decade.
Skaven were held back because they were the game 2 race with the most hype and one of the only Warhammer races that isn't derivative of D&D and are instead inspired by The Swords of Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber

It's a real coinflip, either they're like Counts and are an afterthought included to make up the numbers, or they're the most technical and impressive race so far but i'm failing to see how they're not just Golgfag but with Contracts replaced by Seer Prophecies.
>>
>>584295851
If they want Eldar to be successful they need to have actual visible (and invisible) consequences for prophecies, and squads similar to spess mehren bullshit
Normalfags hate consequences and will cry if anything can beat their big boys so I'm not holding my breath
It's a shame really. I actually kinda like Eldar

Content creators have been putting out their previews for Shogun 2 complete and it's a complete mess

They upgraded the engine but killed the performance, runs worse than attlia

Mod.io being a thing

All their "changes" are just mods, even then they've done the bare minimum, all the unlocked minor factions have no unique

On top of being only $10 for previous owners for a month, they're just hitting the fomo crowd

The only redeeming thing that it's... Shogun 2 so it's still a good game

I think most of it is that total war and warhammer are very old and with old things come people with grandpa syndrome.. u know "old good new bad". The total war grandpa's just wanna keep ramming cav into the rear of infantry, instantly destroying the unit, for the rest of their lives. Seeing someone stack heroes, maul with Skarbrand or Tamurkhan or abusing magic makes em cranky.
With the warhammer grandpa's it's always the "your lore doesn't count, that's fake lore, we only accept old lore" and a few tabletop nerds wanting their unit caps because they don't actually wanna play this game, they wanna play online tabletop warhammer against AI.
If you mix all of that together you get a very sensitive community that refuses change. So it's very easy to upset them.
I totally don't do it on purpose, swearsies, hehe.
Mm..
For some reason there are also many people who want to force their playstyle and balance opinions on others.

Not like any of that is gonna be a warhammer 3 with new maps and factions. It's the exact same old shit that has been boring back then and is boring now. Shogun is fun for 2 campaigns but it has no replay value..
They'd never attempt to make any strong army because most are obsessed with imaginary challenge. They build the most scrubby armies and play in the worst way to then proudly screech
>you didn't win the game, you played an EASIER faction/stacked heroes/abused this mechanic/bla
It's severe mental illness. They aren't even having fun because if they did they'd be here all sunshine posting about their campaigns.. instead they seethe at their monitor because Skarbrand go smash.

Well if you wanna talk real composition, you are supposed to bring a couple mages, make a moshpit with the tanks and then nuke everything with spells cause steamtanks don't kill infantry very well.
Bring a metal mage to single target nuke and your fav cheap aoe spell caster for infantry.

I have a jade wizard, and I have a captain to help Karl kill other heroes, it works well enough but there's too much for a single army, it's ridiculous I can't have more than one there. I have three armies right on top of each other right at the final mission area.

You can just make it so certain units can't do it. Kholek isn't going to 'duel' a bug, so it makes sense. Make it so all humanoids can do it. If riding a horse or whatever, they dismount for the duel. Also, make it so you can deny it, unless you're a character/lord where it wouldn't be allowed to deny it (Slayers, Arbaal, etc)

that's a lot of complaining about a side project someone is doing for free. probably just sharing something they made for themselves. mods are take it or leave it. they don't make money from them. if it doesn't suit you. go make it yourself or move on. if they guy deletes the mod because of you i wouldn't blame the guy. read the note in the bottom about it being early beta. from what your saying, sounds like a alternative mod to allowing you to recruit from any faction you defeat, giving you access to everything. so chill out. it's free.

They had to do it like this in order to have a room to maneuver. They cannot retcon or diminish AoS in any way, so they can't get rid off End Times and setting it before End Times would be too limiting. If Specialist Games Studio wants to make any narrative campaigns or any new events they had to set it back in the past
Most likely this same reason why Vermintide 3 will have trouble with existing

I think the timeframe that they chose is not a bad one per se. Since they couldn't (or weren't allowed to by GW's higher-ups) retcon the ET, setting the game a few decades before the Great War of Chaos - when Azavar Kul rampaged through the Old World - would be the next best think. But even then their asinine choice of excluding some of the factions into AoS-only further restricts them from exploring some events in that era; like the Affair of the False Grail, or the events with the Silver Princess.

The divide is completely artificial and astroturfed, these hist v fantasy posts are just desperate pleas for replies and attention.

Wasn't that a thing at some point? Med2 or something? I remember a "Fighting to the death" state if you surrounded a unit too much and the game gave you a tip to let at least a small gap in your envelopment so the enemy troops could try to desperately squeeze through it and run.

The encircled Romans at Cannae did not mount an orderly defense. They were packed so tight most couldn't even raise their weapons meaning even if they made the calculation that their death was guaranteed and imminent and so they should just aim to inflict maximum casualties, most couldn't fight even if they wanted to. Total War is not a deep enough simulation for units in too tight a formation to not attack and without that there's no way to show the intense disadvantage a tight encirclement causes beyond morale damage preventing the unit from attacking which simulates the real world where soldiers don't clip through eachother.
>>
after m2ex, there's no reason for any of us to ever want CA to touch the old games again, it'll be much more exciting when modders take on the job to make port the game to 64bit and dx11 and make it look and run better, it's only a matter of time for shogun 2 to get this treatment

On a related note. A few times previously I've referred to North Korea as "Best Korea" as a joke.

That was a mixed bag because one one hand, yeah, the feeling of oppression and impending death was really well done. On the other hand, the actual tactics aspect of it was so fucking bumfuck retarded it became kind of hilarious, with the mountain of corpses and the troops forming a perfect phalanx around them while they don't do anything about it.

We now know 3K was literally a proof of concept for Cathay being added in WH3, for GW to get on board who had said no. They dropped it like hot shit because after their fuck up they had 0 interest in recovering the games playerbase.

The Saga titles were just inhouse personal retardation left to run loose in the era of HYENAS. CA has been doing everything it can to kill of History as a part of their repertoire precisely because they are filled with people who think the Crusades were some kind of crime against humanity.

They deserved all the crap they got for Rome 2 and quite frankly they deserved more. No one asked them to flat out lie about almost everything and be so incompetent the 'game' was barely out of alpha. They rolled the dice on people slurping their shit no matter what they do - which was the mantra for all big game dev's last 15 years - and actively and openly resented their own playerbase, hoping niggers and 'women' would hop on to their hero shooter.

CA is only solvent because WHFB was in a unique position due to End Times and AoS being utter dogshit and the fact they are HEAVILY subsidised by the UK government who also tie funding to DEI.

I do not get the animosity, though. I play both. I do not play the bullshit Saga's and I did not play the pandering chink slop. All they had to do was accept people on average only care about Christendom circa 1000 A.D - 1500 A.D, Rome and the ancient world that starts at the Peloponnesian wars to the fall of the WRE, and Warring period of feudal Japan. FotS would have sold like dogshit without Tom Cruises' movie.

There. Tie in to relatively cool and recent movies/shows about history and otherwise rotate between the big 3 times and civilisations. Empire was a mistake.

Bets on the path Shogun 2 takes over the next 24 hours

A) Launches in exactly the same state as the build the shills were given and the shills were right about the downsides

B) Launches with a day 1 patch to address the main complaints(performance mostly)

C) Same as A but it turns out the shills were wrong and the complaints were overblown

Gw has moved away from their games largely being set in a certain point in time, usually in permanent "5 seconds before midnight" stasis, with very little plot development to "moving narratives" where every new edition moves the plot foreward in some way. They did it with 40k, they did it with aos, and now they do it with tow.
Problem is you can't set tow in the "current day" because then you run into the problem of the end times, so they had to set it back a couple hundred years.
>>584318675
The funny part is aos does not give a fuck about the end times and retcons it whenever it feels like it. Anything that happens in the endtimes could easily be fit into aos' mini-endtimes that already happened in the lore (or the big second one that's about to happen irl, but that's another matter)
Imo best thing for both games/settings would be to just split the two and forget the whole end times shit. Aos doesn't really need it, whfb certainly doesn't, why keep it around?

Its not a 'take' zoomie. It was from an interview their dev's gave recently stating it outright.
WH3 was going to be even more barebones than it was at release and CA was desperate to pad it out with Cathay. GW had no lore or army rules or models and CA offered to do what they did with the Vampire coast and GW said no. 3K being as successful as it was in the short term is what got GW to give the OK for CA help create current Cathay that was then repurposed for the, at the time, unannounced ToW release of the TT.

that's not the reason, the AI does shit itself though and start camping its regions rather than expanding, that's a biggg problem, they need to bring back huge AI empires

>>584320789
God I fucking wish the Battle AI could be fixed, it's so turbo braindead, and the bazillion mods that make it so the enemy general run to corner of the map so he doesn't kill himself right away make the battle only more tedious.
>>
>>584320980
They abandoned it because they misunderstood the Chinese market, the game was doing fine in the west and it's still routinely in the top 3 most played Total Wars even though it's incomplete abandonware. They abandoned it because it didn't become the next Starcraft and because, like I said, they were so focused on chasing Chinkbucks that when they fucked up they never even considered pivoting to the west for it.
>>
>>584320923
You can give a lot of praise to 3K but I'm not sure rosters are one of them. The recruitment system also caused "Vlad respawning with a near entire stack in two turns" level bullshit way too frequently.
>>
>>584321015
No, you finish in 30 turns because if you haven't won by that point, you're most likely a fucking bot.
Minor faction bot at that.

the best historical total war is and will always be europa barbarorum 2 on medieval 2 with m2ex.

Attila with Fallen Eagle and Europa Perdita mogs DeI. You larpers would know it if you actually played historical TW.

>>584321179
>"Vlad respawning with a near entire stack in two turns"
>two turns
Anon, Vlad's recovery time is 1 turn with a unique skill to ignore the Wounds mechanic and vampires have instant recruitment. You have to beat him at full power EVERY TURN when you fight him.

My autism didn't allow me to enjoy it because bullet points in unit description were fucky with Fallen Eagle on.
And also, it was abandoned very early.
And also, Attila was reusing Rome 2 voice lines, and I HATE them.

I'm buying the shogun 2 rerelease out of spite at this point.
$10 and it makes people who don't even play the games anymore seethe.

Rome 1 is the best Total War and has never been topped. There's a reason it has conservatively sold over 3 million copies worldwide.
Granted 3K and the Warhammer trilogy managed to sell that amount in a far quicker time but Rome 1 released at a time where gaming was still nerd shit as opposed to a trillion dollar industry subsidised by world governments.

they ought to knock away units though, as they do in rome 1, y'kno
(vid rel is a bit too exxagerated tho, but they should be knocked away like in WH except they actually die instead of just rising again and losing 20% of their hp to a lance in the heart and being knocked away, like in WH)

Who cares about how many they kill. Have you ever seen a real elephant hit a human? Recently there was a video going around of an elephant rampaging over several days. People were thrown over 20m away by it with mega speed.. the got flung up over the elephant.. here.. NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING.

Wanna see Skarbrand walk through a unit? That's how a charge should look like.

TWH3 is getting dangerously close to toeing the CK sandbox that TW as a series desperately craves to be.
If Med3 is more of a RP as opposed to pure map painter then CA will finally have opened their third eye.

yeah then they all get up because charges suck dick in warhammer lol. cavalry can't even chase down fleeing units and kill them in a reasonable amount of time, that's how bad it is

I might be. Got pharaoh from a humble bundle ages ago and just haven't installed it yet.

>>584321739
Are you high?
The most soulless game with the most barebones campaign that only features detached gimmicky tacked-on cheat panels as "unique mechanics" is close to CK in... anything?
I get that CK3 is shit, but it still doesn't deserve to be compared to Warhammersloppa.

>>584321604
Quantifying success is a very subjective thing but I do think Rome made waves in a way no other TW has done so since then, it was a big leap forward with a unique kind of hold on it's players, it had a multi-season TV show ffs

>>584322925
How did they abandon the post-release support of a project that never even released?
There's really no coming back from another Hyenas tier disaster and there's nothing else to bail them out if 40k bombs, they have to get it right or fix it, they can't abandon it for the next few years at least unless they also want to shutter the company, Med 3 is years away and it's an unlikely lifeline at best, no more big Wh3 DLCs to fall back on either.

I like the smallest unit sizes because it just feels way better balanced. If 30 guys stab a dragon with halberds that dragon should die. Just makes the game more realistic that way.
