Total War: Claude

Anyone else run into an issue where alt right-clicking with artillery makes them walk to that spot instead of firing?

Are they ever going to give Alberic his own model? I mean he just uses the generic lord model of his faction, it's stupid.

>>585149129
it's not a generic model, it's spiced up.

You'd think that.... but I have had LoS issues with them before. I think sometimes they forget they're mortars if you tell them to shoot something out of their range.

I'm playing as Archaon and I just beat Boris and am taking that Khorne faction over, where should I be going next? Towards the Daemon Prince and then Sigvald? Or Tamurkhan, Kholek, and Vilitch? Or should I be going south to Arbaal, then Azazel and the rest of Norsca? Not really sure where to go from here he's super free to go wherever

Fighting legendary lords with a generic can be rough, but there's a big lead time to make a decent WoC army so it's best to constantly be making new armies and sending them out.

Stairman LH?

So been having constant issues with end turn saves crashing my game since the patch and even a weird one where after a battle, mid load screen I get kicked to main menu.

Changing it from full screen to windowed mode seems to have fixed it...I have played Full Screen since WH1. Never had this issue before.

>>585150089
If you defeat the glottkin you'll confederate a lot of norsca territory. Would be a good idea to catch him and/or azazel on your way south to the empire/kislev. I usually just formed a millitary alliance with the daemon prince, he's a fantastic source of allied-recruitment units.

You're kinda free to do whatever. I'd suggest getting Kislev/the empire sooner rather than later so that you have an opportunity to get them before they snowball or die out.

Can someone explain the sudden rise in discussion around AI or AI mods?
OK, the Shogun Incident, I get that. However, there has been lots of talk over the last few weeks about AI mods, but good (mods that improve functionality) and bad (slop posters, unstable/dangerous mods etc.

However, where did the latter come from? AI has been about for ages. Why would people only start vibecoding mods now?

There was a very recent public release of a model that can decompile and rebuild entire games with relative ease. To the point people are importing entire games into unrelated ones like Tony Hawk skateboarding into Spiderman or CoD. By comparison the mods for stuff like Total War are easy and simple. Also people have decided to throw AI at all the issues CA was always very obviously too shit to fix or code, and have instead lied and claimed it was impossible.

I assume a lot of anons here use a permanent summons mod because that was a shitty MPfag change by CA that made the game worse. But holy shit is Lore of Undeath OP as fuck with that mod. 3 permanent zombie dragons per necromancer.

>>585154256
Wind of death got giga-nerfed from the last time you played VC. There's a bunch of kinds of infantry it doesn't actually kill even at 160+ intensity.

>>585153979
no, they said that when they shipped all the factory jobs overseas

>>585154256
Really CA just needs to let us pick and choose spells on lords/heroes they intend to give mixed spell lores. Shit is so annoying being stuck with whatever trash spells CA decides to put on a wizard when they don't just go for a pure lore.
It would have been really nice if the vampire mechanic had Forbidden Lore as an upgrade option to give your vampire a selection of otherwise unavailable lores. I.e. every standard lore of magic besides Life.

>>585154601
I used it 10 minutes ago it's still decently strong. Doesn't delete every infantry unit like in WH2 but it's enough to get them to 30% and get them to rout soon after. I do really like the new vortex spell in the lore of Undeath though

>>585154801
skipping out on forbidden lores is such a tragedy. I get why, but still
If I knew how to mod I'd definitely add it for necrarchs and von carsteins

>>585153979
Civilisation can only move and improve as fast a its slowest and dumbest will allow.
We would have fully automated postal services if the threat of non white banditry was not only ever present but also taboo to even consider - yet is the primary reason it will never happen.

Case in point, unmanned farmer produce stalls in rural areas. Been in existence forever and now becoming rarer, the closer you are to 'urban youth' and their ability to drive in a day.

Low tech honour systems prove the investment in high tech services is a liability. Blue collar work will never go away as a result, because the logistics chain is more important than any other industry bar none and CANNOT be put at risk.
>inb4 food supply
Farmers can grow all the food they want but if it never ships out from their local county - they all go broke and eventually the locust horde of inner city colour makes its way out to them.

If there are any AI modders in the thread, heed thy words.
I prithee that you make a mod to make cavalry move away from an enemy unit until they have gone to the position I want them to. I don't mean running back because a single entity is stuck. I don't mean clicking thousands of times to try to avoid that fate. One click, they do literally everything to get to that location and do not stop for anything. Kill any lone entities remaining behind if you have to.

I think inner Warhammer 2 Ulthuan is nicer before it got big squeezed especially when you have the big vortex and that cool inland isle. Cathay's actual green parts are a bit too squished as a result of being made for IME and a lot of it ends up as desert and rocks. TOW Bretonnia is also really nice but I don't really play Bretonnia or TOW much. If you could get WH2's Ulthuan with (a bit of, too much would be kind of jarring) WH3's colors I think it'd look really good, cause WH2 made even jungles look like dark pines instead of vibrant greens

Southlands is a nothingburger unless you make new factions that aren't in TWW, is the big problem I have with that. I mean, southern realms aren't even real factions, let alone how you would need Araby factions, Southlander tribes, and Sudenburg would be units of Empire and Southlanders in the same army. You can maybe justify sticking some random factions in there as 'crusading forces' or whatever but it's already them making shit up, like how they stuck Repanse in Araby in the first place when she had nothing to do with it

40k is literally "what if the Imperium from Dune had Starship Troopers guys and magic"

>>585173890
"And also the Aliens from Aliens were there."

>>585173890
There's some borrowed concepts (ie God Emperor monopolizing psionic space travel) but Dune's Imperium has an overt Ottoman aesthetic whereas 40k's Imperium is very much late victorian britain in space.

The dune influence in 40k was much more evident 30 years ago but it's gradually come into its own over time and now it's hard to argue its aesthetic isn't uniquely its own even if they use lasguns and call their leader the God-Emperor.

>>585173256
Everyone else is right about it copying Dune, though Warhammer did come up with some things that are now common. Green orcs as the other guy said, but also orcs having tusks - that was a warhammer thing first. I see a lot of warhammer stuff as like pizzas - unoriginal ideas fused together to make something distinct. Like they stole Navigators from Dune, but the concepts used by 40k for warp travel (Navigators from Dune, the usage of the Emperor as a lighthouse beacon used by ships to orient themselves in the warp, the slipspace being hell) make a concept that was still quite original overall. Space marines are obviously Mobile Infantry at a glance, with warrior-culture elements from Sarduakar, but the ideas of "implementing a bunch of gene modifications and biological upgrades into people" wasn't done with it before as far as I can tell, and even since then few pieces of media really get to the levels of extremes that space marines do. I think weirdly one of the closest feeling ones is Super Mutants from Fallout, the early ones, which are obviously combined with orks, but match the extreme level of biological modification

with nagash's pyramid the one thing you ultimately have to choose is either pirate shooters or tomb king shooters, both necrofex and casket of souls are stronger than normal but going to the right side of the pyramid also unlocks a bunch of bonuses that apply to mordecai and rigby units and are closer to another of nagash's general bonuses to shooting units once you hit t3

Ideally there would just be a toggle to enable/disable or not.
Then if enabled, Archaon, Nagash, and Thanquol would all spawn with bonuses, and as they achieve their campaign goals, they come closer to starting an END TIMES trigger.
Unfortunately this would require factions to actually play the game instead of just existing to battle you as a player, so it would require rebuilding the entire game from the conception, since the AI isn't designed to actually have goals or care about mechanics.

I never understood this with Total War, in every other game with loads of factions and huge world maps, you have the AI trying to build towards goals, and an actual fail state if the AI achieves domination before you.

Not sure if joking but they do it all the time, so ...

grave chosen are definitely better than tomb chosen

while every single pyramid buff that applies to grave guard also applies to tomb guard ultimately grave guard have more armor and the vampire lord red line and unique skill line push it over the edge, vampires give 21 melee attack and 16 melee defence from just the lord skills and tomb guard get... 14 melee defence, even though their base stats are higher they are not that much higher and with a tk lord you want to be using caskets of souls so you also want that unique skill line to go to casket damage skill.

CA will never adopt AI, not after the SHOGUN 2 CE AI genned unit card debacle

What Bretonnia overhaul mod do I use? I'm leaning towards Lily's but I don't like how it bundles a bunch of weird Man at Arms upgrades(using Royal in the context of anything peasant feels weird) rather than just giving tech upgrades to Man at Arms. BRIDF seems like it might be the choice, and there's also Blessed Bretonnia. They all seem to kind of aim towards the same thing but I'm not super familiar with Bretonnia's problems since I only ever played them to completion in 2, and whenever I tried them in 3 I played them just long enough to quit out of boredom

>>585188953
Vibe coding a game from scratch is a lot different from implementing fixes into existing code, especially when the issues of bugs arise and the person has no idea what any of the code they're looking at does to boot. Most issues nowadays now arise from said spaghetti code where they're not sure what they can and can't touch without breaking something, AI's just far superior at parsing large volumes of superhuman info. Not that I think it'd be impossible for it to be good but I think assuming just vibecoding an entire game(and presumably engine version) would be a recipe for disaster. Disaster better or worse than humans? Who knows, but the Claude mods only have to test whatever specific thing they're doing, not an entire game and certainly not asking Claude to do everything from scratch, so far the biggest successes have been asking it to pick apart existing code

>>585187307

They then sell EA for far more than it's worth, based off of the juiced value from the obvious overextension and abuse of the products and market.
The investors who get it after that will then try to do the same thing or firesale IPs to cover debts.

Not enough people played Iron Harvest to know how bad it was, and if they can fuck up that premise then I don't know how else to tell people to be skeptical about this. I know 40k fans run wild when they hear the promise of "classic Dawn of War" but not only is Dawn of War not great gameplaywise but without the strength of Relic's presentation it is unplayable. Also a delay that comes after a beta with less than 2 months out to release is not a promising sign

Just more expansive than it is, make traversing through the channels a much more integrated part of the experience and leaves room for Lokhir and other bad actors (maybe Noctilus) to plunder and take back to the sea with ease, island chains right off the coast giving places to store away their treasures and building a safe harbor. Yuan Bo would get a full central province and feel more fleshed out. Eshin could pose a wider threat. Add some Beastmen heards coming from Ind, Greenskins from the mountains, and Slaanesh coming from Khuresh. If we’re adding new factions. Add an Ind Faction; there are some IEE factions that are essentially expedition factions for another faction like the empire or Brettonia and they can stay, but a true Ind faction should be made. Same with a true khursesh mod and a Nippon mod. Add the Jade vampires and the usual threats to Cathay through chaos, ogress, and chorfs and it would be a hell of a rumble.
