How on earth are you supposed to do the Nagash fight?your single 20 stack vs entrenched 80+ units, arty and fliers, with 4 lvl 49/50 lords?
what army compositions do you like to use when playing as the rats
>>584837712Verminlord + whatever units the verminlords boosts
>attack into an underway'd stack>still lizardbrained from my gor'rok campaign, put my infantry formation into a locked line group and run it down the tunnel>dwarfs scattered every fucking where, 3 units were chasing a routed unit of goblins all the way to the other end of the tunnel>lines completely collapse when enemy reinforcements arrivehaha woopie poopsies
>>5848377127 stormvermin 1 grey seer
>>584837816h-hot...
>>584837665Didn't have any trouble with the Bretonnian Airforce
>>584837131Vlad's a special case since his vanguard deployment limits what you can do before everyone's stuck in melee, and he gets to ignore the wound mechanic that would put other vampires in timeout.
>>584837712Grey Seer (Plague) with the Confident background on Screaming Bell (I have this character saved)x2 Plague Priests either on Plague Cauldrons or with Confident background (for the immune to psych aura and the summons)x1 Chieftainx2 Assassins (to gang up on enemy lords)x13 clanratsx1 Catapult (to force enemies to engage me)I call this the bait army because I send it in front of my real army which is in ambush stance and the AI always attacks itThe army can hold basically forever because the clanrats have a billion leadership and immune to psych, and the casters will all be spamming summonsThen my real army, whatever it is, comes in from behind and slaughters the enemyAnd usually a bunch of clanrats but who cares they're expendable
>>584838245Playing archaon with giga buffed chosen, as is tradition.Individually nothing can really match them and any unit that gets close is shredded but there's just too many of them undead fucks for me to gain ground and I'm being whittled down by the vamp coast gunners and arty.
bretonnia is a pile of violence faction disguised as a mixed unit tactics factiongreenskins are a mixed unit tactics faction disguised as a pile of violence faction
lizard > rat
loli
>>584838426In one province I was getting -21 leadership on my entire army, which was surprisingly difficult to deal with in the battles as my front line kept crumbling early. I don't know where that was coming from, but the only armies present were VC and the changeling, so I guess it was coming from some VC hero skills.
>>584837665Kill a lord and their whole flank collapseKill all lords and kill Nagash
Do you like playing custom lords?
>>584839494VC heroes can give -2 Leadership, Changeling can cuck all of your leadership with his hidden buildings.
>playing Archaon >pokeman campaign>escalating wounds means any unique character I obtain takes 10 turns to be available ooops
>>584839206I wish. Idk how to unfuck their campaigns because they got a fuckload of content and not a whole lot of fun
>>584839553Ah right, I didn't know that the hidden changeling buildings could do that. It must have been the combination of the two then.
>>584839802THERE'S... probably A mod FOR THAT!
>>584839802Just turn off the setting
If CA is smart they will just announce the dates for the 40k beta this week, drop a bunch of new gameplay info and just sit back while all the Shogun 2 drama is forgotten instantly. They could even just release the army painter as a standalone module and that will be a shiny enough bauble to distract the hordes of angry customers.
>>584840463They had an "insider" that's posing as an ex employee do an AMA where they tried to pass the blame to SEGA.>CA QA we know they're full of shit, just look at the last DLC or any other release
>>584840313I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!
>>584841190I call bullshit tooLol>millennials and zoomers doing overtime for "passion"
>>584841339Maybe he worked there in the 2000s.
Which faction should I play if I played bloodborne all day
>>584841547vampire counts
>>584841547Are you playing the PC "port"? Any issues? I want to try it but i'd be pissed if i spend 20 hours on it and the vibecode fucks up and i can't progress or someshit
>>584841547Empire witch hunter stacks, obviously.
>>584841750It runs fine so far. Runs better than on the ps4, looks better, and I got reshade running on it.
>>584841339>i just really enjoy being a slave :)
>>584841339Even if they were a real CA employee they haven't been there for at least 3 years now based on their own posts.Any information they have is incredibly suspect.
wheres the mod that disallows retreating
is there a cheat that changes the stupid research rate ancillaries so you can get them normally
>>584838756That prior image and Archaon makes me wish his flying cavalry were a unit in the game. They don't have wings, they can just run through the air, like valkyries
>legend is back>tw40k on the horizon>histfags got BTFO once againthings are looking bright
Guess that's one way to slow down the main painting. This Nobunaga ambition mod is interesting
>watching turin pvp>omega autismholyshit i didnt know pvp was like this
imriks spawn is fucking cancer
>>584845019>put the elf fire damage lord in the place full of dwarfs resistant to fire damage
>Issue trespassing warning>Goes ignored>Go to declare war>Ermmm you will be considered a traitor and your reliability will go down!!!I simply clicked on the army and deleted them with console commands. When the game cheats me, I shall cheat it back.

>1st time Neferata>forgot to turn off end timesundead units kinda bigshit against these armies, kinda need range
>>584837284
Which area should Clan Mors Rape-Plap next?
>>584848757Niggash of courseI love taking Skavenblight as Skaven... BY FORCE
>>584849007I was preparing for it but Vlad is knocking on my door, I'm trying to Confederate every clan I encounter and Thanquol royally jobbed against Ungrim despite being left on a single settlement, I do have a retarded economy which allows me to easily hold 7 stacks, maybe I can fight on two front, but Vlad is apparently rather big even if Moulder is just above.I guess Skavenblight will have to wait
>>584847103Can I think about SEGA as a moustache twirling villain that wants to fuck customers and plans ways to get away with it 24/7?
>bring harald to the nagashbowlI like to think that it's transcendental for him, that this is the culmination of all his hate.
>>584849572That reddit 'leaker' is almost certainly a LARPer and Sega is probably no more malicious or incompetent than CA.
>>584849823I fucking hate modern Sega so fucking much
>>584850502Doing cringy live action ads is not new. I know you're all underage over at /v/ but jesus christ.
>>584850659dying of cancer or starving isn't new either but that doesn't mean anyone has to like it.
>>584850793I like both.

>>584850502What u mean modern? The company has never done anything good.
>>584854121We already have one shitty LotR ripoff setting as Total War game, we don't need two.
Think I'm gonna have to abandon my Archaon campaign. I'm just not good enough to do the Nagash final battle.Starts off well and I take the first point with minimal damage but then I get dogpiled by all the remaining lords at once and strong as the Everchosen is he's not that strong.
>>584854182You control the buttons you press...
>>584854354I just mash at it till it leaves me alone.
I love high fantasy so much bros
>>584854354Anon...she's the one saying she's blatantly okay with a threesome, you have to naysay it to stop it.
>>584854514Warhammer is actually low fantasy, though.
>>584854557No it isn't you stupid asshole.
>>584854746It literally is...
>>584854813>Bretonnian peasant looks west>Sees giant fucking swirling vortex of magic on the horizonWhat's low about that (Btw I know it's you passfag you can't hide from me)
Losers once again arguing over highs and lows like anyone gives a fuck about their oozing axe wounds..Someone post some warhammer girls, this thread sucks. Maybe some Repanse.
>>584854354sometimes the buttons presented are an affront themselves
i like my fantasy medium-rare
>>584855062The entire fucking game is an affront.
>>584855073You ever had blue rare fantasy?
>Add indians to the game>They're a race of gigachad muscular tigers who are beastmen but unlike cumskin empire beastmen they're actually opposed to chaos and loyal>Their leader is literally a white womanWhat did CA mean by this
>>584855507Normal beastmen are gypsies (aka Indian), not white.
>>584855567But Warhammer is made by brits, and gypsies in britain are irish.
Welshmen ra roooo
>>584855567beastmen have always been mexican coded to megreat migrations invading empire lands, fornicating with its women making more abominations. living in their own little mexico beast lairs just outside regular civil society where they do god knows what...
BEASTmen... Are just white women...
>>584855972Beastmenwomen
>>584856053(female)
>>584856207(for a beast)
>>584855945Imagine you had a baby irl and it just had a chance of being mexican because of some magical bullshit of the world. This is what warhammer peasants have to deal with
it would be cool if ca made it so corpses would pile up on top of eachother into big mounds that could start to act as obstructions if they were large enough
>>584856551Uhh, okay? Nothing wrong with that. Not like it's murican, that would be a disaster.
>>584856730Would be cool. I wonder how they'll deal with destroyed vehicles in 40k. Blow up a big tank and it becomes cover, right? That happens in games like Men o' War. Do you think we'll get that in 40k? Warhammer 40k. Closed Beta invites were meant to go out this week, did anyone get one? Did they delay the invites because of Shogun 2 CE?
>>584855507The tigers aren't the indians. Indians see them as gods and literally get on their knees and spread their asscheeks for them. Being worshipped instead of being genocided is also the reason why they never really turned to chaos.
>>584856792the "murican" is merely the product of the mexican
>>584856792Legend and Volound are the most mentally ill TW e-celebs and they're non-American, explain that.
Got a rebellion in Warhammer 3 and because I'm busy elsewhere, they took the city and then pleaded for a peace treaty.Do I continue to be diplomatic with them and can I confederate them later if I get an alliance or do I just gotta eventually war and kill em to get the city back?
Most fun campaigns according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYs9gZNtr34>1. Tzarina Katarin (Kislev)>2. Tyrion (High Elves)>3. Kairos Fateweaver (Tzeentch)>4. Throt the Unclean (Skaven)>5.

>>584857490Depends on how you're playing your campaign.Grand strat? Whatever aligns with your capabilities. Excel spreadsheet mindset, etc.Roleplaying? What would your legendary lord say?
>>584857545>funniest
>>584857721For sure I wanna confed them through peace and working together (It's Lyonesse, it feels like I gotta).I'm still new so I was more asking mechanically, am I able to confederate rebels or if that was only reserved for minor factions.
>>584857545>Katarina funWhat the
I never confed anything because it ruins the entire campaign. All fun and immersion is instantly gone.
>>584857870oh rightnah fuck them they're probably peasants fuck them up and raze the city then rebuild the city then abandon it then rebuild it
>>584856975>Tigerman names include>Aayansh, Abhimanyu, Abhishekh, Advit, Barathan, Bhash, Chanakya, Drona, Gandhari, Ganga, Karuna, Kuma, Lakshan, Madhav, Neeti, Pandu, Parashurana, Priyansh, Raghav, Raja, Revaan, Reyansh, Rishi, Sahadev, Shikandi, Shivay, Tejas, Vihaan, Virat, Viyaan, Yudhishtra, Yuvi
>>584858007I'm a bit too much of a chud to play her personally, but I can see it. Her start position give her some decent enemy variety, and Kislev armies get pretty strong pretty fast too.
>>584858260Why are you listing random names? Are you fucking retarded? Kill yourself.
>>584858282The lord herself is (imo) kind of mid compared to Ostankya and Boris, and Kislev is a bit weird in playing full hybrid the way they do is a bit boring. Generally, Kislev in a lot of ways I find too strong in a general sense despite flopping against specialized armies>All their chariots are incredible at both murdering dudes and skirmishing>Hag heroes are a bit OP>Erengrad, Praag, and Kislev are economic cheat codes
>>584858550>he unironically recruits chariots Now I've seen it all.
what could he have POSSIBLY done to deserve this
>>584858550Ostankya lore is kino tbqh
>>584858739Talked shit about cathay
>>584853618I guess... I'll just have him defending a POS settlement.
>>584837284Ah man I was having a blast as Ghorst doing zombie shit stacks and he’s definitely completely overpowered, but now I’m fighting Tamurkhan’s endless Nurgle hordes and I’m just exhausted having to slug out manual battles of just blobbing up, out healing, and occasionally getting to blast them with wind of death.>>584839057Oddly yes, Greenskins in battle seem to require some actually forethought in terms of army comps and positioning, they can’t actually unga bunga well enough to win unless they have a Waagh.
>>584837712i'm with >>584846695 but when i play rats i try to make use of the non-skryre weapons teams because i find passively sitting back with guns to be boring. priests, assassins, plague monks, death runners, and moulder monsters are more fun
>>584859016Too bad there isn't an ultra fast forward button, like... 10x fast forward
>>584859061What a waste of a rat campaign.
>>584859243Guns are boring.
>>584859321You could use unique units to make for a unique campaign experience but instead you pull a shogun2 where every faction is an exact copy paste.You are dumb as shit.
>>584859393Weapons teams armies are boring.
never conquered
>>584859929feel like shit just want him back x
>>584840034I just started playing a Tehenhauin save file with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3467812738, the prepared spellcasters mod for Slann (generic slann get to pick one extra lore that gets 3 pick-and-choose spell slots, Mazdamundi gets Kairos style pick your spells and unique skills) and a guaranteed Vermintide endgame and I think it's neat.>All Lizardmen factions have a %chance to recover a plaque when they win a fight; dead lizardmen factions donate their plaques to other lizardmen that they are friendly with>These plaques get socketed into the Ancient Spawning Pools, which are associated with predefined locations in the map and which (when controlled by a Lizardmen faction) will produce Primeval Spawnings on a timer for their owner. Each Pool produces different units, and more are in the hands of invaders than are owned by Lizardmen at campaign start.>The timer, number of units, and effects of the spawning can be upgraded. Higher geomantic web for the owner, lower timers. The more plaques slotted into the pool (all Lizardmen can do this to any pool it's a cooperative affair, the AI is more likely to slot into pools they think they can get to). IDK what gives number of units yet>Certain buildings (IE Star Chambers) produce Astromantic Power, which you can use to take settlements that have pools on them once you build up enough, so if you don't wanna war on other lizards that got there first but you want the spawnings, you can do that.>You also have the Medallion of Chaqua, which all the lizards are trying to fix. It gives you campaign buffs as you take settlements that contain fragments of it, though other lizards are also trying to fix it.>You can take the gems out of the Ancient Spawning Pools to power the Medallion, though this turns off the Spawning Pool until you put it back. When the Medallion is powered properly, you get really strong tools like being able to open portals to teleport armies across the campaign map
>>584860008>The more plaques get slotted into the pool, the more effects the spawning gets (with each Old One's plaques having a different effect, and each Pool only taking a certain spread)Completely forgot to finish that sentence, it is way too late at night.
Do any of you fools actually play out battles without pausing to issue commands? Idk how you can keep track of everything going on without resorting to gookclicking. I chose Empire for my first campaign and can't imagine microing my outrider grenadiers (kiting infantry) while also microing my gun lines and cavalry charges without pausing
>>584860183I pause whenever I need to control more than one group at a time, or whenever I need to stop and assess the field yeah
>>584860183never used pausing in wh2 or 3
>>584860183Sometimes I'll play an entire battle on slow motion mode.
>>584860183everyone that claims to not use pause uses gay meme doomstack armies with no variety that let you ctrl+a and give everyone the exact same commands, if you want to actually have fun and use a proper combined arms force you have to pause or atleast slowmo to micro them all competently. next time someone says they play on legendary here ask them if they ever recruit cavalry or chariots and watch them spill their spaghetti trying to explain why achshually uhm cavalry umm I just don't realy like them because uhm UHHH *sweating profusely* *recruits more heroes*
>>584860183The AI being a computer also naturally has theoretically unlimited micro power, as far as I'm concerned live pause functions in RTS just give you what they have naturally
>>584860183I usually play without pausing but I tend to forget about a unit or two in all the chaosOr I'll have to mash a gorillion times to actually make units disengage and now I'm not using my spells correctly
The recs I'm getting after watching Total War campaign videos
The Nagash Crisis was so disappointing in my game. They conquered like 4 settlements all around the world, and then did nothing. They seem to be super passive when surrounded by AI. In 12 turns I managed to reduce them to just Nagashizzar and Black Pyramid and having only one mortarch remaining. Now its just an awkward waiting game for the the quest battle to become available.Unironically Ghorst THE GRAVE, who had conqured the ogres and the darklands, is the biggest threat of crisis. He's fighting Cathay, Kholek, Gorbad, and me, and winning on all fronts except mine. He really has surpassed Nagash.
Another most fun campaigns list https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8puS1zQsuk>10. Sayl>9. Grimgor>8. Sisters of Twilight>7. Drazhoath>6. Throt>5. Dechala>4. Archaon>3. Elspeth>2. Neferata>1. Malakai
>>584861253ok?
>1 settlement faction declares war on me as strength rank 8>attacks a settlement of mine>wipes to garrison...?
>>584860183you can get rid of a lot of the micro load by using the tools the game gives youvery few frontliner units require much in the way of micro. place them in the battle line, give them a control group, and then press the little lock in the corner. that lock means the game will remember their formation when you press it and will try to keep them moving and attacking in that formation when you control the whole group. it does silly things sometimes when giving attack orders (if the enemy line is irregular a few of your dudes might try to attack the same thing and clump up) so check on them right before they charge. also turn in guard mode if you don't want your infantry to go on chases all game (some factions like beastmen do actually wanna do that)do the same thing with your non-skirmisher missile units (control group, guard), but also turn off skirmish mode. if your unit isn't something like pistoliers or outriders or chameleon skinks they'll just waste the whole battle awkwardly shuffling because the battle line 40 feet in front of them sounds scary. they don't need micro beyond parking them in a spot where they can shoot unless you have a priority target that needs shooting. artillery is the sameskirmishers need a fair amount of attention but not a huge amount. if you keep them on skirmish mode and they're faster than the enemy then they should rarely get hurt, as long as you mind enemy missiles. skirmish mode might have them running to the ends of the earth with a single unit trailing behind them, but if it's a pistolier tying up chosen or aspiring champions all battle that's very worth it.melee cavalry, flying units, monsters, and lords/heroes are what should be taking up most of your micro when you're not reforming battle ranks after units rout (yours or the enemy's) or moving across the field. those are usually manageable without pausing too often if you don't have too many to watch, but pausing whenever you feel it might be going too fast is smart
Is Zhatan the Braaj still the worst chorf lord and campaign area?
Whose blacker between Zhatan and Arkhan?
>>584860890lets see your search history
>>584861351without mods to add more chaos wastes, yes
>>584860667>everyone that claims to not use pause uses gay meme doomstack armiesThat makes sense. I'm not far enough into my first campaign to doomstack so I have a balanced mix of guns, halberds, melee cav, grenade cav, artillery and my newly added steam tanks. On hard difficulty I have to pause constantly or I immediately lose a gun unit or my grenades. One mistake like that usually causes a snowball and I become raped
>>584861351Sayl will body you lilbro
>>584861253hmmmm not seeing Nagash here...?ummmm not seeing Karl here...?uhhhhhh not seeing Changeling here...?
I HATE RATSI don't feel the least bad about cheesing this one. Took Azagh's last city and when I did I got line of sight on a swarm of moulder armies casually camping on the other side of the river who took the opportunity to attack. No monsters though, just weapon teams, storm vermin and artillery.
>>584861649quit hogging all the kills elspie
>>584861642>nagashshit garrisons combined with maintaining land being super important combined with everyone hating your guts means that proactive patrols with armies is mandatory instead of neglectable. nagash wants to go as wide as possible, so the amount of time you spend doing this balloons rapidly and it's very draining>karli actually never play karl because infijd the empire uninteresting but i'd assume he's fun>changelinga blast but far too easy to keep me engaged past the second scheme i perform
>>584861649How come your artillery didn't do anything?
>>584861841Actually curious about that too. Maybe he hid them to protect then from menace below or something?
>>584861841>>584862051I got one of the few actually defensible city maps, the one with the long approach to the final victory point. I set up artillery there for a final kill zone while playing delay tactics with Elspeth, the heroes and the cav, but I was able to pick apart the initial assault with just that and then the The AI bugged out and just sent stuff piece meal so nothing ever came that far.
>>584862265masterful tactics by the AI there
look at the top of his head
How do you play tyrion? Do you just wait 30 turns with one province until you can field silverin guard? Spearmen are almost as useful as goblin as a frontline unit and noctilus is a pain in the ass invading ulthuan with 3 full stacks
>Neutral AI initiates a siege with me as backup>join in manual battle>idle for 30 minutes while the neutral AI gets pulverized but still wins>roll them the next turn while they're still licking their woundsSCHEMES WITHIN SCHEMES
>>584861642>uhhhhhh not seeing Changeling here...?I saw another video of his where he lists it in his top 5 worst campaignshttps://youtube.com/watch/w5Zc10M_KKk?t=1052
>>584864054>says it's bad because you end up at war with everybody This dude hasn't played that campaign for more than 3 turns. You can be at war with 100% of the factions and as long as they don't detect you, you're fine. And there's no way they're detecting you while you're hidden. It's literally total war on easy mode, the only way you lose is you somehow get killed while not having any cults on the map and you have to be clinically retarded for that to happen
>>584864054It's because it's a very easy campaign and can be quite a slog as every region has 1 or 2 softlocks due to campaigns being different, for example a quest in the mountains of mourn to defeat x amount of Ogres softlocks when the Ogres get wiped out before you get there, not a 1 to 1 example but that sort of thing makes the campaign victory annoying and sort of a slog but the campaign itself is very fun. Like Skaven but only the undercities.
Does the AI even with its immense income cheats only allow itself "active" armies? I never see it holding armies back one or two settlements away or raising new ones in safer areas, or maybe even defending a second front. It seems like it pretty much only has 1 or 2 armies for butffucking my weakest settlement and when those die it's raising one in the nearest settlement it has, I know the passive AI was a complaint but it feels suicidal
>>584864389Undercities, pirate coves and cults are one of the worst parts of the game. They are only worth it if you have multiple built up and require massive investments and busywork and micromanagement on top of your own settlements. Anyone that has played any campaign to lategame knows how it can get out of line when you have 20+ building notifications and another 20 cults(they are built up and ave an empty slot for detection reduction yet they get notifications)
>>584864743Have you not seen the AI park 15 armies on a single settlement? That's way worse than the AI roaming around doing stuff.
>>584859016Borrow some Grand Cannons from Cathay.
How do you kill Bretonian Garrisons?T3 they get grail guardians and FUCKING PRONOUNS (multiple heroes)

I wanna make top 10 most fun campaign list too.1. Skarbrand2. Zhao Ming3. Thanquol4. Tamurkhan5. Yuan Bo6. Ikit Claw7. Meow Ying8. Snikch9. Neferata10. Aislinn
My top 10 campaigns1: Golgfag - Holy shit I love ogres, and his merc thing is PEAK FUN2: Drycha - Trees go brrrrrr3: Literally any Dawi. Ungrim is fun to slayermass, Thorgrim uniting the realms, hell I had fun with a modded Zumbtharr back before End Times and enjoyed helecopters4: Oxyotl - Haven't played him since before ToD, but he was REALLY fun back then. Oxcom needed5: Nagash - Been fun af so far. Strong LLs can carry campaigns6: Eltharion - Imprison the endtimes, Imprison gods7: Lokhir - Pirates suck, Pirate elf was fun8: Snikitch - I find him the most fun of all skaven. I dislike skaven but damn are ninjaskaven fun9: Zathan the Black - DAMN good start position, fun campaign, you can even ally with Meow if you play your cards right.10: Khalida, but specifically on TOW. I can't stand her vanilla start, it's painful. However, she's really good once you start rolling.
>Nagash books location are all the same>The book themselves are randomized in each location>Getting 3rd book(movement refresh) early snowballs you hardstarting and reloading for early 3rd book I GUESS
>>584865448Just solo them with Nagash. It's that easy.
>>584866202Just declare war against that book faction (after scouting them out via heroes etc.) and they will beeline towards your territory.
>>584866216I'm under turn 10...Nagash aint that strong yet :sob: THESE ARE A MINOR FACTION THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO CONFEDERATE WITH REPANSU! WHY ARE THEY PUTTING UP MORE OF A FIGHT THAN SHE DID?
>>584866245Ah. Thanks, I'll do that too
>>584866278>:sob:Stop this, we are not whatever ERP Discord you hang out on.
>>584866278Make sure you're not using the setting to boost minor factions at the start of the campaign settings. I think it's bugged out and gives too much stats to those factions.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3821325204@claudeoverhaul... THE FATTIES!NO MISTAKE!MAKE IT GOOD!
>>584866028Actually, Thinking about it I wanna do Oxy again with Archaon's endtimes
>>584866408KINOHOW DOES AI DO IT?IT SHITS ON LONG TIME MODDERS EVERY TIMEaside from the guys that make the norscan/ogre/vampire faction extensions, those are cool
>>584866391I... might have...How can you check and change that mid-campaign?>>584866359Well we are not in your mom's basement either, so you hold now power here faggot!
I wish Changeling was better since I really like the idea of more RP/narrative LL's as opposed to the usual map painter but I do recognize that that kind of thing doesn't really work in the current framework.
>>584866408this is cool and all but just piling on mechanics like this won't improve the game much
It begins.I have no idea how it works compared to how it did in warhams 1 and 2
Rape should have been a mechanic
>>584866689Okay so you find the dark fortresses and kill them. I think they're marked.You must also kill any and all NON-ARCHAON armies until you get it down to ~30% ward save. Otherwise you'll be fighting Archaon's entire buffed AF army with that ward save. Mind you that includes things like Chaos giants and Daemons, and stacks with physical resistances and magicals that they have
Well Donut is going to get Fucked even harder than it already is.Random 1 full stacks in southern chaos wastes that are going to kill my settlements there which sucks but those weren't worth much anyway>>584866892alright
Is this mod honest or dishonest?
>>584867106
>>584867106What does toggle shroud button do
>>584867125FoW probably
>>584867058Yeah uh... Archaon's probably gonna kill Mommy first, so you got that going for you.You'll wanna lightning strike all those chaos armies up on the top of the donut. They're... easy pickings comparitively. and that's an easy 11% ward save cleared.Well, "easy"...
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3792455152Thoughts?

>>584856895>I wonder how they'll deal with destroyed vehicles in 40k.

Now that everything is released which faction is the king of winning melee fights. Nurgle or Khorn? Furthermore why did Nurgle get so much compared to other chaos factions
>>584868506Khorne's still gonna win in a 1v1 of those, but Nurgle can a war on attrition alone.>Why'd nurgle get so muchIt's the most marketable faction. Khorne is "le violence, le blood" faction, they have like 5 daemon types and 2 mortal types on TT.Slaanesh isn't marketable. AT ALL.And Tzeench has too much overlap between it's 3 games and GW doesn't like that.Nurgle is ugly, and you can just make more fat green things
>>584868506>why did Nurgle get so much compared to other chaos factionsGW loves Nurgle and always gives him the most content in all settings. So when adapting Warhammers to vidya he inevitably ends up with the most content again, since that's the source materialNurgle lends itself the best to grimdark since all those disgusting bits like tentacles, innards falling out, bubbles, sickness, teeth etc work perfect for minis
>>584869054Which Chaos has the best Space Marines?
>>584868981>Slaanesh isn't marketable. AT ALL.Sure they are, it's just a matter of skill.
>>584869105Uhhh... Honestly Undivided.Nightlords and Iron Warriors are Based.If for specific factional, uhhh... I like thousand daughters myself, but World Eaters has Kharn who's based and Noise Marines are cool
>The "Great" Desert of Araby>Look inside>1 Settlement
>>584847103this company has pulled too many retarded stunts in the past that I don't even doubt whenever shit hits the fan anymore, newfag tranny reddit shill kill yourself
>>584869105Obviously
>>584869245>thousand daughtersMore like thousand grains of sand lmao
>>584847103uh oh the 'teenfag didn't like this one
>>584869105There are like 4 different versions of basic Plague Marines while TSons barely got anything since their refresh and initial expansion
Our heroes have arrived!
>>584869312I mean it does take at least 2 turns to cross. 3 if you don't have movement increases, and in lore it's MASSIVE
>>584869402Just cause Tsons get no content doesn't make them not the best.The design and lore is just peak, they need to expand them a bit more from Armor filled with hourglasses and some nerds Tzeench likes.However, 1000 more ultra marine models! 500 more Black Legion models! -5 models from every Xenos faction they're all legends now!
>>584869312>>584869494I looked at how Manfred is doing and Southlands look so cool in TOW it made me wish to play next campaign in there, since I got to used to Northern part of the map already, by accidentally playing most of my TOW campaigns there
>>584869585Xenos are doing the best actuallyBlack Legion is forgottenMarine releases bore everyone and the lowest effort shit
>>584869631Unironically, play Khalida. She's in a god tier spot and is really fun. I loved her campaign.
YUH NEED A BOON?
>>584869751Why do you lie to the man
>>584869698Black Legion is just your generic chaos marines faction. They get refreshers every edition.Necrons gained 5 new units and 12 units got moved to Legends.They sucked
>>584869631Unironically, TOW made me love the Southlands.
>>584870002I'm not, I loved that campaign. It was fun as fuck and was what got me my Tomb Kings VH victory.
>>584869751I actually been thinking of that, but I already play as Neferata so Undead and will go to conquer Khalida's place so it would overlapMaybe as a Belegar and then go further South as him. I've been thinking of doing his campaign there, since Karak 8 Peaks is massive in TOW and made out of like 3 provinces where him, Skarsnik and Queek actually fight over it
>>584869494>>584869631The whole game should have more space between settlements and it should be easy to see troop movements even slightly beyond your bordersThe whole taking a settlement the turn after taking one is absolute dopamine drip phone game stuff
>>584870159DESU a campaign should reliably last 150-200 turns, not 60.
>>584870223NTA but the campaign should be FUN for 150-200 turns, not 60 thoughbeit, but it will never be because after a certain point it just becomes tedious busywork.
>>584870223Desu, 100turns is perfect for me desu. Most of mine end shortly before 100 desu desu.
>>584870421100 turns and no endgameKINO!
>>584870395I think similar to the Dark Fortresses for Chaos, most factions should have been restricted to T1 or T3 settlements in most places, with only locations that are important to your faction able to reach T5.Though then the campaign layer would also need more going on in general so tradeable resources, controlling roads/rivers/etc could all be important.Which unfortunately clashes with TWW being made to be accessible compared to games that actually have a proper 4x layer.
>>584870557And this is why I'm loving NagashThough I did get a mod that lets Nagash's minors hit t3.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3807336031Also the same reason I enjoy the Ogres, no real point in getting land when you can just camps.
Is there a mod for a bigger Nagash yet? I still feel he's a *bit* too small.
>>584869312>Great Desert>Look inside>SandWho'da thought the Fantasy Sahara Desert wouldn't be full of life....
I hate sand...
>>584870116Her campaign has a really difficult start due to a horrendous spot. Vampires to the north and you start with a small settlement. Once you get the full providence you got skaven to the north but they aren't the issue, the dwarfs to the west and lizardmen to the south are.
Legend is very proud of us chuds on how we acted against CA in the last days. If we keep going on, maybe /our/ general will return full time to lead us again?1/2
>>5848716752/2
>>584871641I said in THE OLD WORLD map mod.Vanilla she sucks, yes. But In The Old World she just starts south of some vampires, at war with some Dark Elves, and north of some skaven (with lizardmen next to them, which will like you if you kill the skaven), and Wood Elves in with the lizardmen.You're basically safe from any and all harm once you kill the rats and Druchii
>>584871675Could you not shill for that retard? He doesn't even know that CA didn't make the game. He is hating on a company that didn't touch that shit.. that's how fucking dense he is.
>>584871675>>584871801Legend needs to kill himself for not mentioning Mataboo even once.
>>5848716751: no shit? Lmao2: ????? He does know that Metaboo was the dev for the remaster... right?Legend is a sad sad man
>coming out of "retirement" for a quick buck since it's easy dramalol but also very jewish.
>>584871923No he doesn't because his entire existence is a hateboner for a company that doesn't care for him.And even if he did he wouldn't mention it cause it's not his schizo hate target.

>Installed the Better Cults cheat on the same day of the last patch>I now have vision over a bunch of settlements on the other side of the map>The AI parked their all lords in settlements, and haven't moved them in 10 turnsIs it the cheat, or is the patch?
>>584872643AI parking armies on settlements and not doing anything bug came back with a fury with 9.0 and has been getting worse every patch since.Last campaign I had the AI was moving armies around fine, and then the 9.0.3 patch hit and every faction was just parking armies until one of my armies got close.

Been thinking about undeath a lot recently. I grew up hating undeath. Just really hating it. But we can't let Chaos win. Maybe undeath is the answer. And think of how orderly everything would be...

>>584875539Archaon
>>584875738Neat, good to knowI managed to enter a trusted alliance with Yuan Bo and Brettonia on my last Markus run, surely I can do the same
>>584857545Tbf I have felt like playing Katarin lately.
>>584875675>>584875539Archaeon. You can easily wind up with so many vassals the UI breaks.
>>584875539Skaven... Because it feels earned...
>>584875675Dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs can force confederate ArchaonHigh elves can force confederate with court positionsBretonniaKarl Franz can force confederateGreenskins can confederate if they beat the faction leader in battle
>>584875858With Katarin I have kinda the same feelings I had with high/dark elves where the launch map's Kislev was so much bigger that it feels like a big step down to use the base map's Kislev.
>>584875946Neo-gamers won't know what Vortex Lustria was like...

>>584876056At least it ain't ME lustria that place fucking sucked.

>>584876086Why do go into a quest battle with a damaged army?
Holy shit the Slaneesh tech tree is slowand I mean...SLOWThis is HALF of the second tech section, the first tech section has 6 trees each taking 36 TURNS
He make a skaven army, rams it into my random settlement, still loses a wagon and now runs for his life..
Is the AI unable to win against any of the end game stacks?Or can they wear them down over time? I've seen some chaos stacks with 17/20 units, supposing lost some units to the AI. Then another 3 AI armies suicided against them but it was still standing strong at 17/20
>>584876534they don't even touch them bro
>>584860183I only pause at the start of a battle to issue simultaneous commands for groups or when everything is going to absolute shit. Otherwise, I keep it going. Empire is actually a pretty hard campaign for a first timer since their power units are almost all units that can be compromised and killed by shit tier units or a hero that the AI clicks 10,000 times to get through your front line, and you're surrounded by enemies that can easily outnumber your front line and push for your backline. My suggestions would be:>reduce micro load by taking up a defensive position and setting your infantry in guard mode, that way you can focus all micro on your lords, heroes, and flanking units>use the terrain to your advantage, if you're expecting a battle where you're severely outnumbered you can force a chokepoint battle by sitting your army next to a river >if all else fails you can try for a low micro army build like a cult of Ulric pile of violence with cav and huntsmen to support
Where the fuck is the Ordertide?
What's up with Dark Elf campaign AI these days?
>>584876470Because if I don't go into that battle, the next turn 5 chaos stacks go into my final outpost and kill me anywayIt's kind of a last stand which should be cool but its not really
>>584876581So i can expect the whole world to get destroyed if i don't do anything then? Want to just turtle in cathay or empire proper. Only problem is Archaon spawning somewhat near you and might come over
>>584876534They do win, but they have to be top tier to do it. I've seen AI Vlad with the Nemesis Crown take out a couple of Archaon's stacks on the turn they spawned in.
>>584876679Idk why we didn't get some Ordertide end games... Maybe it's too "not-canon" for mr James workshop...
>>584876845Because ordertide is boring if you have any kind of interest in the lore.
>>584876845Because CA wants to sell you the Malekith and Sigmar DLC
>>584866028>1: Golgfag - Holy shit I love ogres, and his merc thing is PEAK FUNBased. I liked ogres from the start conceptually but their settlement stuff was generally super unfun at the best of times. The ability to teleport golgy around and plant a camp there and use that as a FOB was great fun, and I got to do an almost heroic arrival to save cathay from sayl, bretonnia from norsca, kislev from archaon, and empire from sylvania. My big fat retard swarm was delightful to play.
Why doesn't the chaos armies have demons in it? Aside from the 2x greater chaos demons they don't run any demon footsoldiers? Even those lead by demon lords run mortal based armies
I was thinking about Attila today
Ordertide is headcanon fantasoy for NAFO and /r/HFY type trannies

uhoh beastmen are raiding the empire
>>584877150Dude I just want to be fighting the Empire when I invade the Empire.
>>584869105Thousand Sons are PEAK 40k tragedy.Night Lords, Alpha Legion and Word Bearers are also cool. Though actually reading Alpha Legion lore made me kinda disappointed.
>>584876845Sorry in the Grimdark world of Warhammer Fantasy the good guys can only ever be on the back foot fighting off every bad guy simultaneously. If the Empire was allowed to breathe it'd take away from our relentless shilling of Chaos. Seriously we had to plot armour Chaos to such a severe extent that when we made an event where real-world battles would inform how things would go we then decided to ignore it and did our own story because Chaos got btfo'd in every 9 out of 10 games, Archaon wouldn't have even reached the Empire if we actually followed to the emergent storyline our own gameplay event was creating.t. James NIGGER Workshop
This shit isn't even working properly
>>584866028Good picks. I've played way too many Drycha campaigns.
>>584877017I would quite like them to make this, actually. I would love to fight Sigmar as Archaon and Malekith as Phoenix king is a cool idea (it was just executed really badly) and I would be glad to creamapi it
>>584875604lol
>>584877217No worries, they're just local averlanders.
>>584869465sick shot
This will never get boring.
>>584866028I love Golgfag, I love the ogre mercenary lifestyle. Travel to interesting places, meet interesting people, then eat them. Make a metric fuckton of money and meat in the process, help shape the world's geopolitics by choosing your clients and helping them expand. It's extremely sandboxy but it's just so cool and really makes you feel like the world is your oyster.

>>584878412I installed it for a bit because I'm a degen. It requires you to use a pack with a shitload of unlisted changes and stolen assets. Also he didn't do any editing to the speed or animations so everything is leaping around as if it's normal size.

Order factions need to lose, or else you just get boxed in by allies when you're playing as them. I'm guessing that the people who want ordertide either know nothing about Warhammer, or never played TWH2. Likely both.

>>584878779It's a shame. A bunch of classic stuff I enjoy involves giant women crushing huge armies to death underfoot, and I was thinking 'oh I can finally get that experience in a good viddy game' since most giantess games suck and aren't about medieval guys getting steppied. There's another modder who did some giant sized mods and unlike the previously posted guy he actually modified their stats in a good way, but the models are broken or something so we're back at square one.>>584878798You can see this with HMOFA guys and how they claim they hate furries even though they are furries.>>584878940Humans as the size of ants is best. But I like all variety tbf, from 'only' 10 feet to universe smashing.
Claude-sama will fix sieges
>>584879992unironically the best value DLC in the entire game except for Champions of Chaos
>>584879853and no total war game has had fun sieges
Oh boris.. baaad move...>>584880129In theory it should be easy. I dunno how to make model edits but.. if I gave Skarbrand the Kholek ability and just edited those stats Skarbrand should be instantly the size of a city.. ofc u want girls but I luv skarbrand.. and since Skarbrand already has charge damage, he could the just walk through units to crush em like in your fetish.. entire armies gone in one charge...
>>584879350sent that freak FLYING
byyye boris
>>584880307Test it out. Maybe I can try one of those mods that turns skarbrand into a girl (even though I think they look kinda ugly tbqh)
>>584879743Some anons have a fantasy of playing VC as a low-entity-count faction of heroes and monsters backed up by ranged human infantry, and not a skeleton or zombie in sight. Would you take that away from them?
>>584880415Still don't really want the DLC because of that unit

>>584880483They insta kill lords.But, weirdly enough they never outvalue a warp lightning cannon. They are just more straight up damage but then run out instantly. In total damage done the warp lightning cannons are always on the same level.

hussshhhhh...the horsies are snoozing
I'm confused as to why this is a thing.
>>584881174It's the anti-Vlad button.
>>584881174it's simply because some people don't like killing a Legendary Lord over and over only for the Lord to keep respawning over and over. It makes wounding characters more impactful.
These armor and shield stats are really fucking annoying.>>584881167That mod isn't bad but very problematic. I like posting here and those all have tits out.. that would get me banned.

>>584881668Claude is putting in max effort
As the ogres, skrag in particular, are you meant to raze shit, using your camps to move forward?
>>584881334Vlad being a cockroach might be part of why the mechanic was invented, but he is also one of the few characters who get to completely ignore the mechanic.
>>584881756What a chad. I kneel.
>take a couple of tries>gank archeon>fight don't end even if he's deaduh oh
>>584881756Well i guess its just an anti tamurkhan and ungrim button now

My filth army actually won this easily. Interesting.
The Chaos warrior/Daemon factions balance between mortals and daemonic units is kinda wackKhorne:Daemons are almost all inferior to mortal unitsSlaneesh:Mortal units get completely mogged by their daemon counterpartsNurgle:Heavy redundancy, both mortal an daemons fulfill the same role with few exceptions (rot flies)Tzeentch:The only faction where daemons and mortals complement each other
My name is Boris Todbringer and I sold worse than Volkmar the Grim because I add and buff shock infantry in a race whose playerbase are all missilefags.
>>584883235Tzeentch a best as usual.Also now that you've said it like this, that might actually have contributed to finding out why my favorite Khornate is Arbaal, and my favorite Slaaneshite the Masque.

Am I missing something or is the campaign basically over by the time I get the "big" constructs beyond the starters for TK or Ushabti/Scorponok? I need the Nehekharan citadel to get the rite to make buildings build faster, and I need a big ass settlement, and I need a shitload of money. I end up just spamming Tomb Guard but I want to actually have stuff like Hierophants for battles I play and not just the autoresolve end. Is there a quick Construct rush meta?
ugh ... my breath stinks after drinking 1.5 liters of coffee and not having brushed my teeth this morning ... time for a ... nurgle campaign ...
>>584881174It's bugged so you can't turn it off anyway.
>check out traits for my ogre lords>Farter
>>584883235I don't agree with Slaanesh at all, Champions of Slaanesh alone are worth many of the daemonic units and Chosen of Slaanesh turn a faction that previously lacked a good anvil into a faction freely able to micro the more fragile units as they just sit there. Slaanesh is the most incentivized to use both, your mortals having shields alone makes them an invaluable meatshield
>>584881174AI cheats wound recovery times which, when stacked with actual wound recovery effects, gives basically every VH faction instant recovery. Apparently this was easier than just adjusting how much the AI cheats

>>584881140Crowmen are good but Yuan Bo's Crowmen are even better
>turn 2-3>make a fatal mistake>reload>make a fatal mistake t5>reload
>>584884206Yeah, you can play around with hammer & anvil tactics and drag the battles out, OR you can just get a full daemon army and rush at the enemy with flanking and absolutely massacre them and finish the battle within 1-2 minutes.
>>584881140Any allied-recruitment unit.
Holy shit bros>second campaign ever, try Britonnia>try things out, slowly expand have a lot of fun>Sylvania and Vlad come out to just take most of my territory and obliterate me, make peace but too late>End Times happen as I have 2 settlements left, might as well just start a new campaign>decide to just play it out to a game over screen maybe there is a cutscene or something>turn it around and muster barely enough peeps to win the big fightWhat the fuck. I was so angry and upset at this shit being enabled even for first timers but now I'm at peace. Serene even.I guess now that I stopped the End Times and it's Turn 103 it's time to start my Short Campaign Victory.
>>584879495They're signature Von Carstein units.
>1st Thanquol campaign went off without a hitch>Now I'm getting the dawi rape train within 10 turns.
LMAO look at the damage I dealt on a front charge with just daemonettes on chaos warriors of nurgle and plaguebearersInsane, I never knew Slaneesh was this busted and I have 1300 hours
>>584883235Slaanesh are super massively complemented by demons and mortals; chaos warriors and chosen provide an actually tough armoured and shielded front line for the deamonettes to flank around. Chaos Knights with swords are so tanky you can use them as a mobile anvil to catch out overextending enemy cav while your seekers fuck them in the butt.Nurgle benefits a lot from the speed of knights with armour and shields running around and slaughtering missile units that would threaten your blobs.With Khorne the bloodletters are fast and armour piercing which is nice in its way, BUT squishy demonic/undead units in this game are kind of a ballache in campaign since they'll delete themselves instead of run away and take a bunch of effort to re-recruit.
>>584885764How the fuck are you getting raped by dawi? You play an endgame scenario faction, you are unbeatable. You shit out armies for free nonstop and maul the dawi instantly while Vlad does the empire for you.
>>584885543That reskin mod is good. I like the way the masque's face looks attractive from one side, then the model turns and she's completely grotesque.
>>584885554Good job, fren. You did well.
>>584885845>chaos warriors and chosen provide an actually tough armoured and shielded front line for the deamonettes to flank around.bro you're literally playing the one faction that allows you to front charge as if you're flanking, I think only ogres can pull something similar
>>584886103>allows you to front charge as if you're flankingHow? I haven't played Slaanesh in a while. I thought that was like a Kislev special ability.
>>584885868one bad battle with THA SLAYA KING and his bullshit slayer pirates slowed me down and in the mean time Thorgrim obliterated skarsnik and was eager to avenge some raki grudges. I'm fighting a two front war before I can even get set up.
>>584886191Sounds like you chose a weird route. I instantly went to kill thorgrim which is pretty easy with the free armies you get for sieges. Breaks down his walls instantly.
>>584885671I don't know if vampire counts ever had access to gunpowder units except through dogs of war.

What's the case for certain factions starting with two settlements next to each other? I don't mean like Eltharion and Yuan Bo, I mean like Arkhan and Vlad. There's no dilemma or anything in the early game.

I've never seen this effect before. Not sure if it's part of a mod or vanilla but it makes Mordheim basically worthless. I'm guessing I have to get rid of the Skaven corruption.

1. Neferata2. Isabella3. Ghorst4. Repanse5. Fay6. Belegar7. Sisters of Twilight8. Alarielle9. Morathi10. Noctilus
>>584894134given that they added the assets for skaven devastation, i'm surprised they didn't make that region specifically permanently devastated. the city WAS flattened by a warpstone meteorite, after all.
>>584894134Looks like a modded thing.>>584894282It is surprising.More surprising is the secret Vlad quest to get the +100% Spell Intensity item there.
>>584894383huh?? is it vlad only, or can izzy get it too? i vastly prefer izzy's faction effects
Seeing as claude modding is a thing, would it port that kemmler horde mod from wh2?
>>584894657haven't tried if izzy can get it, it's a 3% drop chance to get the Elder Librarian to start the quest, so one campaign (I was testing how well mods worked before finalizing a campaign) I got it turn 5, the next campaign I got it turn 71.
>>584894134There was a mod with this exact thing in wh2 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2635176410but I can't find it in wh3 workshop so I guess someone ported it under different name or something.

I really like the idea of unusual locations and this mod that adds more is neat but whenever I see some vague ominous "No effects for now" shit or some short term bonus for what is clearly going to bite me in the ass I just can't see why not destroy it ASAP
Why does CA keep giving stuff to Daemonic factions?Order factions keep getting steamrolled in my campaigns
>>584896690The game is simply more fun if the good guys are facing difficult odds.No one likes the ordertide, it's boring
>>584894657I think any VC lord can potentially get it, but only Vlad/Izzy are positioned to actually take advantage of the opportunity. It's just another thing that lets you know how much the devs favor them.
>>584896875I like fighting order factions when I'm not playing one of them. Like I don't pick a Chaos faction and invade the Empire or Ulthuan because I love fighting Chaos. Nobody wants that.

some victory conditions are harder than the others for thanquol it mostly waiting until the building finishes contraction for 40 turns
>>584878362The blowjob contest
>>584901463fucking got his ass
>>584901396That one is actually really quick if you build around covens.I played Neferata twice, once I played her like a normal VCounts faction and it took AGES to get her win con.Second playthrough I played to her covens, it greatly slowed down my expansionism, but by like turn I want to say 50 or 60, I was able to send 1-4 necromancer lords to a province, nuke the province from orbit turning it all into undead wasteland, have the necromancers colonize it, then rinse and repeat every few turns.At that point the only thing stopping me from the win con is unlocking her final quest battle is a bitch.
So this is a battle simulation game, and no one making this ever thought to show the number of soldiers on each side on the pre-battle interface? What the fuck?
Yeah, it's gaming time

>>584903762Maybe it's not true for all factions, but I think just the fact that there are longer distances between settlements helps a lot
>>584904000Well for factions like Karl or Katarina or Chaos is true that its easier because you are surrounded by factions that are easily allies.

On the topic of cavalry, what's a good faction that has strong cavalry but not so strong that you should have your entire army be cavalry? I want to use the cavalry as flankers, not hammer and anvil both.
>>584904172Fair enough
>>584904970What
>>584905529Pretty much anyone except bretonnia? Empire is pretty good at this. You only want like 3-4 mounted units. Knights Panther especially as a counter-cavalry unit and to tarpit flying monsters.

Erm????
>>584905908also kislev
>>584904502Probably Chaos Knights because they're so jacked and armoured that I don't have to be so scared about micromanaging them>>584905529Pretty much every faction other than Bretonnia really? Norsa with its kurgan horsemen, all kinds of chaos with chaos knights, high elves, empire, dark elves... Even get good use out of cavalry as Cathay funnily enough even if their mechanics kinda discourage it. Never slew so many fleeing skaven than with the humble cathay cavalry.
>>584905908Legend said helevs' dragon princes are le bad
>>584905529High Elves and the Empire come to mind. Both of them have good cavalry selections from like T2 all the way up to T4/T5. I think Kislev also has that too. Warriors of Chaos (and the four gods, but especially Khorne) and Vampire Counts are also great selections for lategame armies, as Chaos Knight variants and Blood Knights are extremely good high-end cav, but their shock cav before then is lacking.Lizards and Dark Elves both have okay combat cav, but they're not the strongest and they lack shock cav. Orcs have serviceable early/midgame shock cav. Beastmen only get light cav, but they charge well. Bretonnians have the best cav overall, but have a shitty infantry anvil. Also shoutout to Chorfs for having really high-mass shock cav, but if you're Chorfing it you definitely aren't in it for Bull Centaurs.

>>584847103>CA is this mustache twirling villain that wants to fuck customers and plan ways to get away with it 24/7They've lost all benefit of the doubt. They've been too greedy in the past to ever just assume now they're being stupid or naïve. They're not some indie studio putting out their first 8bit roguelike, they know better.
>>584905529>>584906557Oh, also, honorable mention to Ogre cavalry. Crushers are fucking terrifying, but Ogre armies don't anvil ever, their armies just abuse superior mass and charge bonus to run through the enemy and keep circling back around to trample them. The Ogre cavalry is there for stomping things that can keep up with Ogres on foot.

If we're on the topic of cav I don't think I'll ever know what Doomfire Warlocks are about. I'm not going to say there's not a case to be made for fun flavor but these guys are at the ass end of a bad building chain and just a weird fucking unit in general
>>584907213No not even that. He was cheesing the economy while still running around with retarded archer spam armies. And in wh3 he was still doing the same exact shit even tho he did not need to anymore. His brain is rotten and he infected the playerbase with that >lol cheese the ai to win everythingmentality.
>>584907191Literally half the reason I play Wood Elves
>>584907541DWs are great. They got good bound spells, fast and hit hard. Problem is they come from a dogshit tier3 building chain and take 2 turns to recruit, while you can spam shades from a tier 2 building.DEs are in a dire fucking situation bro.
is nagash supposed to be able to do something with vampire lairs
>>584907191I made an Elk riding elf in Pathfinder Kingmaker because Wild Riders are so cool.
>>584908414Not being able to do that in Kingmaker (the game with fey tricks) is the reason I never played it after doing WotR
for the anon playing slaanesh Masque currently, did they fix the bug where the dances doesn't work after switching stances?
>>584908551Oh yeah I meant to say WotR. I think it might be possible in Kingmaker with mods? Kingmaker kinda sucks though.
>>584908092Shades are in a really awkward spot; they have stalk and offensive melee stats, so you THINK you would want to, like, use their melee offensive stats, but if they're ever in a position to attack someone you would never want to not shoot them. Because they're SO good at shooting.And you would think that because they have stalk and vanguard you'd want to set up a sneaky ambush... but they do that and just get dumpstered by cavalry.So every time you wind up protecting them with a staunch line of dreadmanii or just mass stacking them, because their ranged damage is SO good you don't want to risk missing out on it. So they wind up just being a very expensive Darkshards+And I don't want them to be Darkshards+ I want to play them as deadly hybrid assassins
>>584900457I think Neferata is the only VC LL with a fully unique set of animations. Kemmler and Mannfred both share theirs with the generic necromancers. Vlad is not any more snubbed than other lords released around that time.
>>584839057The fact that Bretonnia's infantry sucks force you to spam one cav unit
>Try out the warcraft mod>Paladin Arthas (female) has a really good two handed hammer animation setFuck, what unit does that in the normal game?
>>584859016Greenskins becoming more reliant on mixed units instead of pile of violence is, I think, blameable on the actual elite infantry factions (High Elves, monogods, etc) hitting the field and knocking Black Orcs down a peg on the totem pole

>>584909287Could be, I've heard Cathayan lords and heroes in general have some really great animations, but I got so bored from playing Miao Ying I never really did a proper play through to try out everything.>>584909504Everything is just slightly off from being Warhammer, they even just use in game voices, such as the Princess Paladin using Repanse's voice, and definitely not Whitemane using Elspeth's.I'm sure there isn't a mod out there that changes them to other voices or anything.
>>584908726Unit caps would solve most issues of DE unit balances. You really should not be able to get 19 shades in turn fucking 10. 4 or 6 per army max. Bleakswords/Dreadspears/Darkshards should be the backbone of every DE army and ALL of them should be armour piercing. And cav chain should be t1 and t3 maybe? DW in t2 would be bullshit but Darkriders are such dogshit that t1 would at least make you consider grabbing 2 or 3 of them just to flank.

>>584908726>And I don't want them to be Darkshards+ I want to play them as deadly hybrid assassinsThat's the problem with TW. On the TT weapons don't get better with unit tiers. A unit using crossbows uses the same stats between different unit types. Shades and Darkshards have the same ranged stats. A longsword is a longsword in the tabletop it has the same stat if he's used by Chosen or Empire swordsmen.
Imagine not using the cheat that disables agent actions. Imagine allowing CA's retardation to ruin the intended experience of the game.
>>584911807Hell yeah. Also what the fuck are those shadows? It looks like a comic book.
>>584911807lokhir is literally me
>>584909913Really I wish every faction had something a little bit like the WoC warband upgrade system so that you don't feel bad recruiting regular Dark Riders when you could instead by recruiting Dark Riders (with shields). Just upgrade them afterwards. Units that are supposed to have shields not having shields are kinda always bullshit I feel. How hard is it to just buy a shield, instead of disbanding and then re-recruiting them!I do think that players are much better off having two and a half armies of darkshards/spears over one army of shades for the same upkeep cost, like reruiting 19 shades at turn 10 is a kinda suboptimal decision, but DE economy is so crazy overpowered that after you secure your starting provinces you're probably on an infinite money spiral and can just field as much martial power as you feel the desire to micromanage.It also doesn't make any sense to me that Sisters of Slaughter aren't part of the same building chain as witch elves and executioners.Shades should probably be a higher tier unit though, yeah, like tier-3-for-base-tier-4-for-great-weapons. Though with how quickly DE can get to T4 with slaves it's not THAT big a change. Thematically it'd make sense to merge the dark-rider and shade building chains since they're both supposed to be quick light scouts. Might make them more attractive if you're already building that building anyway - it's a bit like how in earlier in WH2 nobody ever recruited White Lions because you had to build a whole separate unique building just for white lions, but then they made it so that white lions are part of the same building chain that gives you Sisters of Avelorn, and then now you might as well recruit some now they're available.

Tyrion the Sword Autist, directed by Michael Bay.
>>584907541>I don't think I'll ever know what Doomfire Warlocks are about.Fast and hard hitting glass canon unit that is your only source of magic attacks in the entire army. Even DE lords that have magical weapons don't get magical attacks for some reason lmao.
>>584911850>A longsword is a longsword in the tabletop it has the same stat if he's used by Chosen or Empire swordsmenThat sounds weird and wrong. A Chosen should hit harder.I think Shades doing more damage than darkshards is an individually bad specific balance decision but not a category of decision that shouldn't be possible.
I was poking around Radious for shits and giggles at work and I couldn't help but notice that Radious around the time of Tides of Torment seems to have just given up on his blurry GIMP painted unit cards and just used AI. I don't know if this means his shit is higher or lower quality
Doing Repanse's quest battle is a balst from the past.Anyone remember back when you'd load into it and when the cutscene was over one of the dwarf armies was already dead so you lost?
Is there a mod that makes the game hard as fuck?
>>584912176Pretty sure the strength stat also plays a role, but a sword is a sword.
>>584912176Melee attacks are modified by a unit strength. So a Chosen hits harder with his longsword than a normal human.
>>584912506>no dryad spearmaniithat faggot had ONE job

>>584912176Melee is modified by strength and ranged by the ballistic skill on the tabletop.

Is there a mod (cheat) that makes the random demon or beastman stacks spawn more frequently, or adds more variety? Even adding Skaven armies? Shit like this, rogue armies, and unusual locations. Don't spawn nearly enough to add variety to a campaign

>>584921169I always used this for Beastmen https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2907466537It massively improves them as an AI faction. Great in particular if you play as the Empire

Holy shit the Chorfs have so many tutorials.
The Ghorst gambit is the only sane way to survive the early game as this decrepit old man faction
>>584922785Nagash's ranged unit buffs through the pyramid make the undead guns and undead archers so powerful you don't need the ghorst gambit.

>>584922785Nagash was weak. Ghorst was true power!
>>584921169TWH1 used to have a cheat that would have a low chance of spawning stacks in provinces where corruption was at 100. For some reason nobody recreated it in the later games. Gates of chaos was kino too. All these cheats lost like cheats in the rain.
>>584923696>Gates of chaosI remember it. It was cool. Funnily they are in that Bannerlord mod

>>584931850have you seen what happens the one time Grok tried to be hip
>>584931517Depends on the spell, not all overcast the same (sometimes it has longer duration, sometimes longer range, sometimes a greater effect.I'd say it's usually best to save up winds to make a single-target spell a AoE if possible such as with invocation of nehek or the lore of metal +armor spell.Most damaging spells I think it depends on how good of an opportunity you have - if you have a REALLY good opportunity, like the enemies are blobbed up just right right now but might not be forever, then overcasting is preferable to just casting normally twice. But often it might be more economic to just attack twice in different spaces.
>>584931850The main models aren't trying to compete with the already existing chatbots which is where all the parasocial people are.
