>>585515393still going to be terrain dependant especially from where spells appear on your caster
>>585515472I hate that we had pretty dogshit music for so longAnd also that they deliberately mixed everything towards the center so that the music doesn't become distracting and just becomes background noise.

>>585515605Not really. Unless it's jailbroken AI's explicitly won't help you do anything illegal. Worse is the shit they won't explicitly refuse, but just develop brain damage when approaching the subject to the point they can't even diagnose what the issue is.

>>585520262Yeah but, the industrial revolution
>>585520635>skeleton throwing skeleton heads that are on fireFucking peak
>>585520639the fr*nch are luddites in warhammer though. but in reality the bretonnians were just an elven psyop to divide humanity and keep them technologically crippled.
>>585520262The GW guys were Early Modern HRE Autists or 100 years war autists, so Italy and Spain got neglected
I just realized that I cannot defeat stacks of giants, ogres, gorgers and bruisers/hunter heroes with Beastmen.

>>585521248Lesser men wear their jealousy as a cold peasant in winter wears a ragged cloak. They cling to it but no matter what, they cannot hide their ignoble forms.

>>585522523If the player isn't playing them, they can't be controlled by AI due to its ban on abominable intelligence and it has to be manually controlled by an actual indian for each players campaign
>>585522879are they actually related tho
>>585522523I dunno go ask /tg/They seem to just do lots of ranged damage, like a less mobile eldar/dark eldarSome kind of mode switching mechanic
>>585522523Most 40k fans are wondering the same thing.
>>585523107I don't think humans were old one creations like dwarfs/elves/ogres, probably just spread around
>>585521248Speaking of French, L/VH, what should i do next ? Take on Skulltaker or wipe out Vampire Coast ?
>>585523287If they were it brings into question, why the Cathayan dragons would make an empire out of their hated enemies' creations.
>>585522506The humans that formed Bretonnia/Empire were the barbarians that split off before the civilizations of Nehekhara formed.>>585523287Humans used to be the last of the old one creations (and unfinished, which is why they're not good at anything compared to other races), but retcons now have them as just one of the old one experiments that were just kind of forgotten about with halflings & ogres as the last ones.
>>585523415>hanging out with small dick haversyep that's the bretonnia experience alright
>>585522523it's all about the data. Always basedfacing over collecting more data. Collect data in battle to activate buffs, collect it on the campaign map to get buffs. Cover the planet in massive data farms.
>>585520056Yuan Bo has lines in game talking about wanting to spend time with his son (singular).
>>585520262
>>585523731Two dwarfs named Blahk and Dekkur invented a proper steam drill.
>>585523724His wife's son?
Imagine playing bretonnia in total war instead of bannerlord
>>585521248> elven psyop to divide humanity and keep them technologically crippled.Bretonnia has access to Damsels and Prophetesses magic since they exist, Empire colledge of magic is 200 years old only.

Is there anything for letting Archaon capture Dark Fortresses as an exception to burning down everything else?Why on earth would you become Everchosen if you very early on achieved your short term campaign victory?
>Get the research that says you get blood back for disbanding blood units>Get the research that says you get corpses back for disbanding corpse units>Send lords on solo missions to areas with books of nagash, summon a full army on the spot, get the book, disband the army for near full refund and then deploy a new one elsewhereIt's like ghetto teleportation.
>>585525378where
>>585525528where do you think...
>>585525051what could've been...
>>585525406You can easily hold off starting the devastation stuff but really the campaign is basically over by the time you have eight dark fortresses. They're really only good as forward resupply points later in case you fuck up and need to replenish. Devastation gives access to a lot of units in warbands recruitment anyway.>Why on earth would you become EverchosenOnly you devastate maybe five provinces Archaon starts to move into being very OP.

A hippogryph soars over the battlefield, its powerful eyes assess the battlefield in full 1080p. It sights a knight returning to his squire to reload a new lance. The knight on the hippogryph gives the creature a reassuring pat on the side. It dives, swoops down and sinks its claws into the knight. It carries the knight back up high in the sky then releases him. The knight falls to his death. Wouldn't it be cool if we had that kind of stuff happening?
high elves have so many LLs but barely any legendary heroes. meanwhile any human faction...

>>585533912if they existed they've been annihilated by southlands orcs and lizardmen by now. Pygmies are the only remaining humanoid survivors.
>DESOLATION! DESOLATION! DESOLATION!
>>585534503>HE CALLS. WE ANSWER!
>>585533912no, the farthest humans ever got south was nehekhara, people like to talk about southlanders or ebonites or some shit, but that was still in nehekhara or is a retcon because the southlands are filled with really mean lizardmen and savage orcs, humans could barely handle orcs in the when sigmar came to pass, theres no way they could now along with the dinosaurs
>>585534503The blood speaker has a very good voice actor. Like his voice is tired, but strong
Am I missing something about the Nagash final battle? He's level "1" power, all but one mortrarch is dead in the overworld, then in the quest battle there are 6 armies plus 9 LL's, how do you beat this actually. this shit has to be bugged I cannot imagine how "5" power is harder
>>585535217I'm certain that nobody at CA playtested that battle. You can cheese it with a SEM doomstack or solo it with some of the more OP lords, but taking a normal army into that battle is suicide. The difficulty spike is absolutely insane.
>>585535217if your faction can't do a melee brawl pit that doesn't care about spells all over you, you can't do it
>>585534503>GIVE BLOOD, TAKE BLOODkino
>>585535192>the southlands are filled with really mean lizardmen and savage orcsWait, do you think the orcs could be an allegory for black people?
don't tell anyone I said this, but I went into the Eckzahnehaus the other day and saw todbringer fucking a dog
>>585536147>Lizards are from Africa and South America>Orks are mostly from the west asian mountains but have spread all over the place>Wait, are the orks the black people?hurr
>>585536527That dog's name? Khazrak.
>>585536623>the southlands are filled with really mean lizardmen and savage orcsHow the fuck would I know that orcs come from "the west asian mountains" if I'm responding to someone teaching me that orcs come from "the southlands"? Do you not possess a theory of mind or are you too fixated on validating your perceived intelligence by pointing out the misconceptions of others?
>>585537198kek u mad
Damn Vlad does some crazy shit to fell bats.
>>585537386It's Isabella who buffs them.
>>585537386Isabella unique buffs + red line skills + research and fell bats legitimately become more useful than Vargheists.It's insanity.
>>585537386Haven't played the new update yet but Isabella could turn bats and dogs into chosen before
>>585537357At least I possess the ability to conceive of continuity beyond 15 minutes into the future, Jahimba.
>>585536880
I hate bats. I hate dogs. I hate orc arrer boyz. I hate those tier 1 vampire coast musket troops most of all. Why do they do so much damage?
>>585537386isabella buffs them and if you choose to be isabella she just buffs them even more, arguably her faction effects are actually just better for a vampires start by giga buffing cheap chaff units and giving you more vampire hero capacity
>>585537967What even is Vlad's faction effect again? More campaign movement... and anything else?
>>585538104Vlad's only real big point is his skill that gives factionwide passive exp gain, and he gets that as a hero too.Also it's not as good as it was before since they made it so it doesn't affect garrisons.
A theory of buffs, but me.If we are to divide entities in Warhammer into three tiers, they would be: hylics, psychics, and pneumatics. Hylics are your tier 1 units. How can you buff a hylic? It has no capacity for spiritual growth. It is fired clay. It is set in its ways. It should not be possible to buff a tier 1 unit.
>>585538104he starts with more slyvanian unit capacity and lets them regenerate which is moderately useful if you actually use them
>>585537687You have to understand, most people who talk anything Warhammer related know that orcs exist as jokes about soccer hooligans, it's why they've got the silly accent.Fantasy orcs tend to be a little more serious than 40k orks, but not by much.Typically you only see people bringing up race when talking about orcs when they're specifically baiting or making a youtube channel about it (whichever side they fall down on).It's especially easy to suspect someone is actually baiting, when they see both orcs and lizards are in the southlands and instead of saying "oh are those two races stand-ins for subsaharans" they specifically say "orcs are black"Which the answer is no, neither race is, GW used to have a racist caricature down there but they've been removed from all lore.
>>585538280>It should not be possible to buff a tier 1 unit.Exploding slave rats GO
>>585538285Oh yeah, I remember them being surprisingly tanky last time I played him.They usually were able to tank enough that my slow ass grave guard could walk up and hit whatever unit was harassing them in the back.
I honestly do not get the appeal of Cathay. It's just humans but.. China.OK. maybe you like humans but China. However, that doesn't explain how Cathay seemingly has the most fanart, memes, smut and every other media attention even though it originally had three pages of lore. It's not as if Cathay is the only faction in the gooniverse either.The faction feels unoriginal, even for warhammer fantasy standards.
>>585538104Extra movement. Sure there's also regeneration for the borrowed Empire units, but who cares. Since the rework didn't really do much with the factions, VC still have the problem where all factions (Neferata's excepted) play kind of the same.
LL for this feel ?
>>585538809>most fanart, memes, smut and every other media attention even though it originally had three pages of loreThis frequently happen in mediaRemember Malfoid?
>>585538809It's China, therefore all the chinese must worship it and propagate itSimple as
>>585538285In lore, how do Sylvanian citizens survive in the lands of vampires? I don't mean they are attacked or anything, but doesn't living in undead territory cause problems for living things?
>>585538809Most Warhammer fans fantasize about a hot Chinese dragon woman stepping on their balls
>>585538882Yeah, I find the best way to play them now is to go into the themes that their red buildings push you into.When playing as Vlad or Isabella I would mostly use Vampire Crypts and Trees.When playing as Kemmler I'd mostly use the g-g-ghost and skeletal knight buildings.When playing as Ghorst I'd mostly use the necromancers and skeletal buildings.Neferata I mostly used Crypts + Skeletal Knights, occasionally spinning in necromancer buildings for the heroes, to keep with the theme of only using units that don't stink up the place.
>>585538809I didn't care for it that much but then this music played during a hard battle and I think I like cathay now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbpxFZAIfyg
>>585538959>In loreJust the way people live anywhere else, one day at a time, farming, fishing, crafting, trading, etc.>Undead territory cause problemsYes and no.Officially speaking, any place with loads of dark magic and loads of warp stone (Sylvania has both) would cause people to spontaneously mutate, and have random weirdness. Every book warns you about this, when playing characters in the RPGs or tabletop games it doesn't take much exposure to have you rolling on tables.In the actual lore, the majority of people are never exposed to the levels of dark magic or warp stone that actually cause these problems, and the amount you need to be exposed to is usually much higher than in the games, where the threshold is lower because player characters need to interact with it to bother including it in the book to begin with.Combine that with Vlad being someone who thought "happy cows give good milk", and you have a place where despite the fact the forests are full of horrors beyond your imagination, it's not unlike living in any of the other poor parts of the Empire.Hell, at least one book says the only difference between the shitty parts of Stirland and Sylvania is that the Sylvanians pay less in taxes.

Where is the Basilisk RoR? Did CA forget to put it in the DLC?
>>585540754you are able to build a new building during the crisis that is "raid the undercity" this causes a skaven army to spawn and has a chance to give you knowledge when you build it, the description says the army will attack the city you build it at but its just a normal skaven army and will absolutely fuck off to attack whatever if the city you build it at is too strong
>>585536012>>585535472I'm playing Tzeentch, so yeah, idk. Looking up stuff someone did it with a Necrosphinx stack + arty, someone cheesed with Lord of Change doomstack and then Infernal Gateway nuke.It's kind of stupid how hard it is comparatively but I will try cheesing first by luring everything and sneaking a cap with tiger stalkers, chosen simply cannot brawl long enough and pink horrors get swarmed by flyers, so maybe vortex beasts+Lord of Change spamming bound spells+soul grinders to deal with flyers will work

>>585542173I hate that GW/CA went with the monster look for revived Vlad.Though the original model is probably too generic/dracula.
>>585542173It's hard to respect any vampire's vision of conquest when they're basically all sleeper agents of Nagash. Kemmler was right, turning to drinking Nagash's dick juice to become immortal is fucking retarded.

>>585542349Grom's cooking got nerfed into the ground as part of the HElf buffs, he's still useful, but he can no longer stack goblins to infinity.Gorbad is neat if you want an excuse to use stupid units.Azhag is Azhag, and feels somehow even more generic.Grimgor is great fun if you like tough as nails battles against unfair enemies.Wurzzag feels weaker because of all of the magic bullshit everyone has these days, but is hella strong if you pick your battles well because ranged is generally worse in TWW3.
>>585543054Get doomed
>>585543054Not enough artillery
>>585543070BBC!
>>585543054winnable if there were just 3 cannons for the empire
>>585543396Big Bretonnian Chads.
>>585543070Me, The Ogre Kingdoms
>>585543070Drunk wizcels
>>585518181And, for the Empire,>Gave us an early game unbreakable unit that did (idk if it still does) really well against the Vampire Counts>Knights of the Blazing Sun, who do really well against regenerating units like half the units the Vampire Counts use>Free Company Militia, a hybrid pistol unit that is really resilient to bats, wolves, and raise dead summons>Arch-Lectors, which are a really good lord choice that give really good prayer buffs to melee unitsPeople shit on GRIM & THE GRAVE a lot but it was a really good toolbox for both factions
Just learned there was a fourth type of elf but the ogres ate them all
>>585543408>>585543276>>585543306Funnily enough the most difficult part was the gyrobombers, I guess that's on me for underestimating how much attention they'd take to shoot down.
>>585543950just because the great maw anal vored all the sea elves doesn't mean you can attribute that to the ogres
>my armies are spread out at the borders>income is reliant on winning 3 combat per turn or i start losing money>guy spawns in the middle of my empire>starts sacking my settlementsgaye
>>585543830I thought part of the shitting was that it felt mandatory to have to play VCounts, and mandatory to have if you were Empire fighting VCounts.
>everyday vibecoders mogging CA with new features and fixes to ancient problemsIf I was CA I would just tell everyone in my coding team to change to claude fable already
>>585543164Fug, Grom still looks fun but I'm gonna miss Goblins (Chosen)Gorbad was the default choice for me but I wanted to consider trying other stuff firstWurzzag seems like a situational deathtrap fighting demons unless savage boyz can get more than phys save, but still looks funAzhag seems dumb if he doesn't have any new special interaction with Nagash now on the map like an updated landmark at his two pimphouses or somethinGrimgor looks like a tight challenge to considerWhat about Skarnik tho? Sticking with gobbos sounds like a fun challenge, in theory, Eight Peaks is a short term goal, and I haven't considered if the Gorbad DLC added anything extra that slots into his roster of tools nicely like squigs or whatever their new LH does
>>585544916Isnt skarsnik the ultimate goblin (chosen) campaign tho?Atleast it used to be before grom released
>>585544660They already are. The difference is the amount of process per change. Modders can do whatever they want.
>>585544916Skarsnik's position and buffs to night gobbos means he can now take out Thorgrim within the first 5 turns, and then have one of the best economic provinces in the game as he heads to Eight Peaks and captures it before turn 13.Some people say he's still hard to play (mostly people who play slowly), but anyone who's used to playing aggressive will find he is the new Grom in terms of insane strength of night gobbos & squigs.
Just two more reworks and WoC will finally be playable.
>>585545663And what of the daemons of chaos?
>>585543830no, it really wasntflagellants are a whatever unit but theyre competing with halberds, so theyre badknights of the blazing sun, cool, but not that useful, the only regen units where varghulfs and crypt horrors, just bring a fire wizard, theyll do more than knights will, and theyre shock cav, which is even worse, because theyre even more uselessfree company are okay for the first 15 turnsarch lectors have neat abilitiesand all vamps got were carts, which are whatever honestly, because theyre too slow to get value, and if youre getting value out of them, then youre not trying to win, youre just fucking around, just cast a spell like a normal person
>want to play bretonnia>but don't want to field peasants at any momentLLs for this feeling?
>>585545738Alberic lets you get all knights the fastest because of a unique building.
>>585545841Too bad he has a terrible start pos
>>585545738ENTER
>>585542965He's evil, he's supposed to look monstrous.
Is shock cavalry really that bad?I mean, I get it, they suffer the same problem as chariots, in which they need to be baby sat
>>585545891Easily the most fun. As long as you're good.
>>585546025Its not hard, its just boringI would not call lustria the worst start pos in the game since the south pole exists, but its a close second worst
>>585546008Like chariots, they're great against anything small, decent against the smaller large units, and absolute trash against anything with any serious amount of mass.
>>585546008key problem with large units is bad mdef, you need a good amount to not die to halberds, or embed them with other units, shock cav not only have bad mdef, so also they die to not halberds, but cant be embedded with infantry like monstrous infantry can
Literally one volley
>>585546659Outriders with grenade launchers are very satisfying units to use.
>>585546659i feel like people slept on grenade launcher or outriders in general, i dont get why people werent talking about them more and instead talking about meme company militia
>literally every skaven army has 10 stormfiends nowthis shit is so assthey have no counter outside of taking advantage of retarded ai
>>585544660The issue with CA was never the skill or productivity of their coders. It was always their retarded project leadership. Claude can't fix that.
>He doesn't have schematics from Nan Gau.
>>585547080>AI gets shit tons of bonuses including but not limited to reduced upkeep and boost XP>but player is not allowed to take advantage of the AIEnough of this puritan drivel
>>585547051In TWW1/TWW2, ranged units fired faster, moved faster, and responded faster to anything going on on the field, as well as had better natural targeting priority.As a result, a group of meme company militia would win against anything of equal speed or slower than them.It was honestly infuriating whenever you saw the AI spamming them.Meanwhile the grenades were considered too expensive, and explosive damage for most weapons felt worse in TWW2 (I don't know if it actually was worse, but it felt worse for most things).Even with TWW3 being out as long as it has, people still have old beliefs.

>>585547051outriders had their guns changed in wh3 to repeatersbefore they did literally fuck all damagesame with war wagons having the wrong weapon assigned to them so they did negative damage
>>585547319i didnt say thatstormfiends are just dumb
>>585546025Knights in jungle just doesn't fit
>>585513926If Vlad is such a strong vampire, why can't he regrow his nose?
>>585547850We don't talk about that.
>>585545891ill stand by louens start being worse than albericsat least alberic doesnt need to deal with belacuck and his vassal sending stacks across the bay constantlyand your reward for dealing with him is uninhabitable climate and you get to fight throgg wulfric and the glotkin
>>585547850He's on Nagash's health insurance plan, which doesn't cover reconstructive rhinoplasty.
>>585546025It's fucking lame. You take your province and get forced to fight Skulltaker, Vampirates, or rats, maybe lizards if you feel spicy. None of those are very fun to fight as Brets. I always take the province then go somewhere else.
>>585543070Grom
>>585548042Alberic's is kinda sweet so long as you don't overcommit on clearing out the jungles. Alberic makes his dosh from the coastal settlements and is in his element when fighting on the waves. If anything it's better to link up with Bretonnia.
>>585547489they were literally just handgunners on horses with 360 shooting that shot twice as fast, that was enough to make them really annoying if you couldnt shoot them or gimp their movement. also they were nerfed in wh3, wh1/2 was the better version>>585547385thats why you have shields, eat the volley and force a melee fight, i never found them to ever be a problemand explosions did shit loads of damage in wh2and cost is irrelevant, if you can afford outriders, you can buy grenade launchers
>>585548106Vpirates and Skaven aren't fun but all the others are.
>>585543721>keg of winethat's the real reason they're hiding
>>585545893Covenant Warriors (Plasma Rifles)Covenant Grunts (Plasma Grenades)Covenant Elite (Shields) (Stealth) (Energy Swords)
>>585544916by the time you actually have to fight demons as wurrzag you have enough scrap to give your orcs dampen
Just started playing this game, unfortunately it is crack cocaine and I can't stop. Really enjoyed my first campaign as Thorgrim (haha put dudes in line and let gun shoot) but can't really click with any other faction. Ikit Claw and Lizardmen felt clunky, Kemmler was far too easy even on Hard.Any suggestions for a new faction that will play differently but still be engaging? DLC not an issue as I am already voluntarily nickel and diming myself on this shit. Do the Greenskins have much depth outside of just constantly fighting battles? Advice is much appreciated from you vets :)
Why is the Preyton a Slaanesh unit? Why not WoC? Why not Tzeentch or Nurgle or Khorne?
Whoever decided the liche priests shoupd sound the way they do deserves a promotion to somewhere he can't do any more harm. I commend the effort at authenticity, I think a voice filter like khalida, arkhan, settra, and every other tk character would have been fine and we didn't need a voice filter PLUS COPD smoker lung just got done yelling rasp that is also trying to yell
>>585514037
>>585549169Liche Priests sound like proper mummies fuck you retard
>>585547051for most people you have to go out of your way to recruit and micro skirmish cavalry as opposed to the cheap hybrid infantry
>an entire section of nagash's pyramid is for flying undead monster units>these dont apply to varghiests
>>585549034Tomb Kings have good variety and you have a somewhat different kind of military recruitment than other factions
>>585549623>wdym i have to micro in a rts
>>585549891Vargheists know what they did, that's why they're vargheists.
>>585547156>Claude, be the product owner of Total War Warhammer 40.000, you will make all management decisions and deal with all dilemmas that are presented to you.>Make no mistakes
>>585549034Ikit Claw (and Skaven in general) are the ultimate make a big line and shoot faction.Their issue is unlike dwarfs, you're expected to just let your front line charge in and die to make your guns/arty do more damage.That said if you want something different to play, then Ogres are an unga bunga faction. Greenskins start unga bunga, but the longer the campaign goes on for, the more thought you need for tactics as their units lose quality against other quality units. Norsca is a very different style from what you've been playing so far as well.
loli feet
Ty for suggestions>>585550453I've been looking at Settra who, I am told, serves. >>585551110When playing these unga bunga factions with poor quality units, is it just all about multiple lords/positioning with ambushes? or do you just avoid 1v1 altogether and do guerilla tactics on their settlements?
>>585545072I know the Warden and Paunch update gave him upgraded poison for a unique scrap upgrade for night gobbos but I never gave him any attention till now>>585548978oh that's cool. At least there's an option bumping into Kairos or Skarbrand>>585545126Still sounds like an underdog, and interesting enough to try. Looking back gobbos with regen and exploding arrows was wild as fuck. I'm sure night gobbos can get a bunch of stacking benefits through Skarsnik, heroes, and research, but that's still a mediocre stat baseline to work with into lategameMy only long term want would be to force confederate all the LL boyz for a bigger mob no matter what greenskin campaign, but that's really an optional goal
this seems to be the limit of these without getting more disciplined heroes, this army has 3 disciplined heroes +krellnagash has a fairly easy time getting disciplined traits due to his million heroes but some bonuses this particular army doesnt have isa defensive formation disciplined wight kingcorpse cart +5 ma/md(either, probably balefire for magic weapons)coven throne, another +5 to ma and mdbrass cleaver +6 ma

>>585554257D&D is my most behated fantasy setting maybe ever. I hate everything about it. Just thinking about it makes me angry.

>>585554536I don't really mind it, but then again i never really grew up with it so im not that attached with itThe movie was fun, bg3 is kino i havent played 1 or 2 tho
How does the High Elf / Dark Elf stuff work? Can you just decide to be one or the other? Is it one of those things where lots of high elf have dark elf cousins they don't talk about?
>>585554536I didn't like forgotten realms, but bg3 really made the best with what they had.
>>585554932I'm just being a hater. Some days I just wake up so full of hate. But it's not Khorne hate. It's Millennial "I hate this cultural artefact" type of hate. Which is just so embarrassing, but I'm a Millennial, I can't be anyone else.
>>585554986And more importantly, do HElves fuck their DElves cousins :3
>>585554986I think it's basically entirely cultural
>>585554986unlucky spawn points bro like irllucky gets high, unlucky ones get dark... REALLY unlucky ones go wood...

>Shogun 2 debacle unironically delayed 40k beta>DOW4 beta gaining hype and excitementits over
>>585555659ENJOY LIFERELISH LIFEDO NOT KILL YOURSELF
>>585555926DOW4 will have over a year of developer and player communal development by the time TW:W40k lands. In this age of AI where moving first and traction counts so much more, that may be a death sentence for TW:W40k. Players are going to customise your game, the only thing that really matters is the art assets basically.
It might sound crazy now, but Alien: Isolation 2 may end up being the most important project in CA's history.
>>585556220MANY ARE SAYING THIS..
>>585554802I want to go back and do it without cheating. High mass frontline does seem mandatory to guarantee Arkhan's cap Ushabti great bows are just too annoying otherwise. I don't think I even killed all the mortrachs 4 of them died on their own, then Nagash died from morale loss. The DLC armor isn't in the armor slot. Claude, just fix it, make no mistakes.

>>585555825We love wood elves here
>>585554986That's like asking how Portugese/Brazilian, British/American, Mongolian/Finnish, Eastern/Western Roman Empire etc. works. One begat the other and over time and distance they became separate cultures. By now there's a few physiological differences for various reasons including Morathi's wonderful introduction of crossbreeding and taint but for the most part besides being paler, a bit more wirey, having sunken eyes, sharper teeth, ritual tattoos and scarification, dark hair, murderous impulses, a predilection for mistrust, and a fascination with torture you wouldn't be able to tell a Delf from a Helf. It's kind of BS that the setting treats them different when Malekith should be on the Helves LL screen and not Tyrion

Just had a flashback to playing Warhammer 1. Playing as Karl Franz, I got the quest to acquire Reikland Runefang. I was so excited to get a new weapon and see his loadout change. But nothing changed, of course. He was already holding Ghal Maraz. CA PR put out a forum post about it, saying... fuck if I remember. Something about being authentic to the tabletop. Shogun 2 players were laughing out loud at us Warhammer 1 players at the time. They had Avatar Conquest and ashigaru sex chat. They were loving life.
>>585555825whats bad about wood elves? they've basically thrived out in the woods. they had plenty of time to go back to the donut but decided to stay stranded because life wasnt that bad. they are pretty much the neutral elves but they don't fuck with chaos like delves.
>>585544660Do I even need to say it...?
>>585561242>ashigaru sex chat.Nani?!
>>585561290damn Allarielle got giga mogged
>>585514532Claudius...
>>585563224comparing alarielle to ariel isn't really fair. you're comparing the high priestess of a goddess of nature and fertility to the goddess of nature and fertility made flesh. it's like trying to compare the pope and jesus
>>585555825live innawoods in a gay little fairy tale forest, totally inured against the passage of time. never have to deal with the outside world, you might even have fun forest friends if you stay away from the scary fairy tale parts of the forest, hunt whenever you please, be at peace with the passing of agesversus>be born into either a crumbling ghost town under constant threat of invasion by murderous outside forces (any of the outer kingdoms), or into an also-half-ghost town high income housing environment where the only three things to do are drink wine, get in inane politics, and sell your soul to slaanesh just to break up the mundane drudgery of having nothing to do and a culture that demands restrainti'll take the woods
>turn area into land of dead>tzentch tricks me by swapping ownership of a settlement to someone else>take back the settlement>land of dead climate gets removed>can't trigger land of dead againwhat the fuck is this non-sense
>>585564280lmao trickedthat's super bullshit. the lands of the dead removal trigger might be on a settlement being conquered, but the land changing hands via tzeentch is such a niche case that it wasn't accounted for, and then you reconquering it counted because of that. maybe abandoning that settlement and recolonizing it will give you the button back?
>>585564212except tree hitler is always trying to kill you

>>585564414its starting to look like lands of dead is conflicting with vermintide eventall my contested provinces gets reverted to normal climate after claiming the last provincedunno if a mod is causing this or this somehow a bug thats still not fixed
>>585535217I thought something was weird. Even having an archeon chosen stack with multiple heroes and a warshrine was sketchy at points. I beat it but damn I don't know how it would even be possible on certain other races. Bretonnia especially seems like it would just be impossible
>>585564280Small family business pls understand
8.0/Bashiva was unironically such a good patch...
>>585547051Legend was always hyping them up so I assumed they were amazing. I don't really play empire but when I go against them they are usually the most annoying units by far so it makes sense. Outriders especially since they can kite you if you are playing a pretty slow faction
>>585547481How hard are you over extending? Also you can just have some vampires coom lock them until you can get someone over there or train an army near them
>>585551110>Greenskins start unga bunga, but the longer the campaign goes on for, the more thought you need for tactics as their units lose quality against other quality unitsI literally only play Skarsnik on the occasions I use orcs and goblins so I always need to use actual tactics apart from spiders. Nasty skulkers are based and that one chaos dwarfs version is even better since they have projectiles as well
>>585554536It's definitely the most boring and not in a good way. The only thing I like about DnD is Codricuhn and elder evils in general. Everything else is gay, boring, or makes no sense considering how powerful you can get

playing coop today with my buddy first timewhat are some chill coop factions?
>>585565637Depends if your friend chimps out when you fight manual battles, I know someone who does that and just wants to AR everything and someone who is okay with it. Just make sure you are playing different races or you will get burned out. Usually I pick someone who is a bit away from where the other person I play with is so that we have room to expand and can still meet.Arbaal is super fun and Archeon is right there next to him so you can devastate the world together. They are also in positions where they are pretty safe from most angles and Arbaal can just pick fights across the globe then leave to go somewhere else. If someone doesn't mind the vassals as Archeon they will like him but they are kind of annoying to deal with and you constantly feel slow on the campaign map.

>>585577226Air Jordans
Are there any units you think are cool but never recruit because you think they are trash or don't fit your playstyle? For me it's har ganath executioners and doomfire warlocks. Executioners just seem redundant and warlocks are never as good as I hope they would be
>>585577090To stop units from being spawn camped they made it so reinforcements don't arrive if anyone is too close to the arrival point.Unfortunately it's bugged as fuck so what counts as "too close" can be fucking massive.

>>585579595I have no idea how the hag plays but the Tzarina is pretty cool, so I vote Katarin.
>>585579574the wh1 map feels larger because its not so cramped
>>585579742>only second to nagashFun fact: on the tabletop Azhag was treated as having the Stupidity rule, specifically because he had Nagash's nagging voice in his head. Being paired with Nagash actually made Azhag stupider.
>>585579595we love flat hags hereso Katarin
>>585579595Ostankya is objectively stronger but she focuses on the least "Kislev" part of the roster and so is soulless.

>>585579540What LLs are actually genuinely embarrassingly fucking stupid?
for my first few games I didnt even realize arbaal is a LL since he is such a pushover
>>585581054Give her time. Imrik is an acquired taste.
>>585581054She's not happy because the pleasure he is bringing her is rewiring her brain, heart and soul to fall in love with him and she can't stop it. She's imagining having at least three kids with him in a little cottage together at the edge of Cathay.
>>585580919As in, just a character pack? I think that's the idea eventually.I really want some kind of Erengrad DLC for Kislev. Just give me generic 18th century Russian/Polish shit to play with.

>>585580545I don't know why they image simultaneously gives me a boner and makes me chuckle, probably because Imrik is literally me and Miao is literally my waifu>>585581083Yin-YinActually in the game? Probably Tretch, Thanquol and Skrag the Slaughterer.
>>585580919Just units and maybe a LH would. Kislev doesnt need another LL. Iwould rather have them fix Kostaltyn's lore.
>>585580919Yeah, as long as they focus on the bit of Kislev everyone likes, that being the Gospodar x Ungol race war instead of a baba yaga expy using clearly Chaos-tainted beasties to fight against Chaos.Not sure what they could add though, because the nature of Kislev's hybrid roster is that there's basically no holes in their roster, I guess they could do with some standard cannons and mortars, but what could they reasonably add beyond that, Grail Reliquiae(Orthodoxy)?
>>585579595I want to play Boris (Ursus) but I don't want to deal with his start

>>585585253when you can replace them with tier 2 spearbowelfs
>>585585253Depends on what you are fighting.Against stuff like Chaos Warriors and Daemons, you want to replace them with Silverin Guard/Sisters asap.Against most other factions, you are usually good to keep using them until late mid game.If nothing else, they make for a good secondary army to follow your lord around.
>>585585023this is me btw
>>585585253When you unlock Silverin Guard and Sisters of Avelorn.Alternatively if you're a doomstacking gorilla giga nigga then replace both with Lothern Sea Guard.

>>585585806>>585585387>>585585606>>585585624What about Penix Guards and Greatswords of Hoeth? Are those just honeypots
Install the weather mod, for campaign and battle.
>>585586084Phoenix Guard is useful in the endgame, since they counter monsters.Swordmasters will kick ass but Silverin makes for a better frontline (higher missile block and charge defence) and between Sisters and magic, you generally don't need extra killing power against infantry. You can keep a unit or two in reserve behind your frontline to countercharge Aspiring Champions and similar stuff if you like.

>>585586084I like to take a bodyguard of whatever the most elite infantry is in a given race, for RP purposes of course. So i'd take a unit of either of them depending on the lord choice and have them hang around the lord. Half the fun of Total War Warhammer is the emergent gameplay that comes with RP, especially once you've already played the game to death and have a 4 digit playtime like I do, RP and handicaps help to alleviate burnout.

>>585586625>Swordmasters will kick ass but Silverin makes for a better frontline (higher missile block and charge defence)Techs and a loremaster of Hoeth in the army will give them better missile block, ballistic plating, charge defense against all, perfect vigor and immune to contact effects. They get fucking disgusting lategame.

>>585575672A singular Nurgling (provided I didn't get any diseases)A singular Skavenslave (provided it's an open battle and not on their own turf or in an ambush)A corpse cart (provided that I had a flammable bottle)

>>585575672I think I could kill a Skavenslave in single combat, a Grot, a Goblin and a Gnoblar too.
I dont like were this is going
>>585587116Absolutely and you can spam them with Teclis.It's just that in a regular army, you don't really need your frontline to be super killy, so Silverin Guard will do the job just fine at a lesser cost.
>>585587859How come your battle scenes look nice but my ones look like washed out SHIT
Claude will KILL CA...
>>585579574It's because a lot of the world is not traversable. Lots of the map is impassable terrain, mountains, and other stuff that makes it difficult to get around. It's a bit like real life in a way because you can only access places through roads and paths unless you intend to walk or drive in a straight line through solid concrete.

>>585587068Kislev is a soulless flanderized disney faction, which is extra boring to play against because everything shoots and everything has a temp unbreakable trait which invalidates so many game mechanics it's not even funny. And this makes me sad because Kislev had so much potential.
Why isn't this in the game by default?

Give CA some respect, in a sea of unity and unreal slop, CA have used an in-house engine for every single Total War, even though Warscape is now running on duct tape and glue, the fact that it endured all the way from Empire in 2009 to WH3 EoL in 2027 is a significant feat.
Only Grace can save CA now...
>>585590567Thats nothing compared to how many decades bethesda has been duct taping gamebryo, even after they stole it and made creation engine with it
>>585590567Creation Engine and Warscape are truly peak
>>585589918https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2858832821
So not officially announcing EOS for WH3 is an investor move right? They aren't gonna officially drop the game until 40k releases, if 40k is a massive success expect 'The Future of Warhammer 3' a few weeks later, however if 40k flops hard enough then CA will have to crawl back to WH3 just like with Hyenas.This is why there are some anons itt with a large degree of animosity toward TW40k as a concept, because they have made the calculation that the continued existence of Warhammer Fantasy content is completely relying on 40k failing. CA want to be done with Warscape, hotfixes take days, basic bugfixes take weeks, DLC's take the better part of a year now. Trust me, when the dust settles, 40k's launch will decide the future of WH3 and if it succeeds they will drop WH3 immediately.I'm not slighting CA for it though, if what they say is true and Warscape is falling apart with every single aspect of the engine crumbling under the weight of Warhammer 3 then it makes sense for them to can it as soon as a more stable replacement comes along.
>>585591358More likely, the bottom feeders want to shut down WH3 since its probably hell to work with, while management wants to keep it alive because its still profitable to a degree.But yeah, if 40k is a wild success, it will just hasten WH3 closure
>>585590532>John CinemaA Fraud.We only enjoy George Kino here.
>>585588119TCAL deserves it though
CA said beta date before the end of year..Any day now...
>>585591358so our only alternative for fixing things is some guy to just make a mod with claude and say fix everything make no mistakes

>>585591358Eh, I'd be fine with either outcome.There really isn't anything missing that is not already available through mods.Sure, the Siege rework actually being good would be welcome, but if support dried up today, I'd still be playing this game for the forseeable future.Never understood why people are so hung up about needing constant additions to their game.
>>585591829>Lahmia will expand into a 10-slot settlement for Vampire Count factions.Good for Mannfred, I suppose. In terms of settlements Nehekhara doesn't throw many bones to VC outside the Black Pyramid and Lahmia landmarks.>Bespoke traits for when Boris Todbringer and Khazrak the One-Eye defeat each other in battle.This is nice and they should do this for basically every LL whose victory conditions require them to eliminate another.

>>585579574I think that's one reason why the TOW map is popular. It actually takes a few turns to get from one county to another. The Empire feels big despite the map as a whole being smaller.
L E A D B E L C H E R S
>>585592570They've said they'd like to continue development on TWW3 for as long as it stays profitable. I don't believe they have a DLC even half the size of LotET planned, but smaller content batches like Bhashiva and race/lord reworks should be in the cards.
Fellas, I'm starting to think the blue line might actually have a lot of merit. It's looking to me more and more like the yellow line is actually the one to avoid. Am I having an episode or is there something to this?
>>585593807lightning strike is cheating
Small lords don't make sense because they can only release it for popular races if they want it to sell(be honset, how many of you would buy norsca lord?, yeah), and popualr factions already ahve many lords
>>585577784>>585578047Really I think the reason it can feel so hard to justify recruiting dark riders is because the dark elf economy is so powerful, you stop worrying about upkeep too quickly for you to bother keeping them around.I do think they're legitimately useful and important though, it's always good to have something quick to run down routers, archers and artillery crews. And the repeater crossbow ones are almost outrider-tier for doing decent damage.I have a feeling it would be helped if you merged the Shade and Dark Rider buildings into one 'hall of scouts' - and upped the tier of shades to be at least t3 for the lower tier version and 4 for the great-weapons. Might encourage you to think 'might as well pick some up'. It's like how it was super hard to justify picking up white lions because they were the only thing in their building chain, but they became a lot more attractive once they started sharing a building chain with sisters of avelorn.>>585577585It's a little sad how varied and fun the skaven roster is and how much everyone seems to exclusively use the same low-skill boring weapon teams exclusively. Globadiers and warpfire units are fun, partly BECAUSE you gotta get a good flank off or pin with them to do their crazy damage.>>585577869Helf rangers are honestly really good early on against infantry horde factions, archers just cannot kill clanrats, goblins or zombies nearly as quickly. Also quick enough to chase down and kill archers.Though dwarf rangers (and most stealth archers in this game) I do agree I find hard to get use out of, if there are basically any fast units in the enemy army they have to be dealt with before you can ever let your huntsmen/dwarf rangers/shades get out of stealth, or else you gotta protect them heavily with non-stalk units, at which point what was even the point of the stalk. Hard to not use Shades, the stealthy sneaky survival woodsman ambush assassin guys, as just Darkshards+
Think he's gonna honor it when he tries to ascend in 10 turns?
>>585577515I find the thing with Khorne is that because they have so much free movement range you'll wind up fighting so many battles that by the time you've built a t3 settlement and have access to anything other than letters, warriors and maybe dogs it feels like you've already finished a campaign.

TWWH3 won't be truly done until we get the siege rework. I'd be cool with them ending all new content with End Times and focusing on getting the siege rework out before shifting focus to 40k
>haven't played III in a two years>come back and the mods I used are making it crashSome are updated and some aren't, what are the have-to-have mods that everyone uses? I was thinking of changing it up a bit anyway.
>>585596568anon, I....
>>585596656I have to believe
Fuck that End of End Times final battle. Holy shit do you definitely need a max end game army with specialists. Felt like a never ending horde that absolutely break your lines, holds down your archers, and forces you to micro like a coked out Korean. Can't imagine how bad it will be on VH or Legendary. Barely won on hard by the skin of my teeth and I thought it was gonna be a breeze.
>>585596578For me it's Warband Upgrade Ultimate, even though I have to kinda consciously not use it too much or else it'd be too easy.
>>585596568In my country there's an old saying that roughly translates to: the seventh siege rework is the charm. I think it applies well here.

>>585591358Far bigger problem is that there is nothing to really add anymore to TWW3. They are deep into fanfiction zone and absolutely reaching by digging into random footnotes. It's borderline Radious tier what they are adding nowadays. They are lucky GW is so forgiving for themAnd game was never even designed to handle such a massive amount of content. Even Immortal Empires where there is no fucking room anymore to squeeze in more LLs is telling. Which is why they have to cope with Legendary Heroes.And add to add how much of a mess held with duct tapes it is and it's a nightmare to further work onTW40k already seems to be much better designed in this regard thanks to it's Theatre system. It means they can add literally everything that ever was and will be and game will still function. Because not all LLs and factions have to be squeezed into this same map. Not only will it have actually cool thematic campaigns, it will also have infinite 4x generated ones. You don't need everyone all at once, you could play a campaign themed around multiple factions fighting Nids, but Necrons and Chaos wouldn't need to be there and such a campaign could have tons of premade factions with LLs anyway.Best chance for fantasyfags is for CA to actually make TWW4. However it would be risky, since for once it would have to focus on adding features and mechanics instead of named superheroes, factions and units>Game ported to Warcore>Immortal Empires is joined by equally massive but themed maps of The Old World, The New World, The Far East and The Chaos Realms (top down look on the globe like in that one map)>Generated 4x campaigns in different parts of a globe>Reworked sieges>Bigger battle maps>Destruction>Naval combat>Per army unit caps on top of themed detachment system from TW40k/gorbad>Upgradable units with different gear within this same squad>Custom faction creation>All dlcs from previous Total Wars work for itetc. But I doubt they would risk making it

>>585597346Yes.
How considerate.
>>585597346I got another mod that shortens siege equipment build time.
>>585597819huh that does sound pretty good
>>585597112>Far bigger problem is that there is nothing to really add anymore to TWW3.Good. There's already been 3 Warhammer games in the past decade. They've milked this franchise long enough and there's more content than all other historical games combined. I mean imagine if historical TW games got the same love that WH3 got. We'd get>Antiquity: Total WarRome 2 combined with 3K on the entire Eurasia landmass. CA would never.
>>585598310>CA would never.More like Histoids would never.As in never actually support the franchise, because they are a bunch of whiny chuds who have build a whole identity around "new thing bad".
>>5855983103K is set in what would be late antiquity for Europe. The best you could plausibly do is giving Rome a Crisis of the 3rd Century campaign where it starts split into multiple smaller factions vying for reunification to echo China's civil war.The reason nobody does this is that nobody fucking cares about the Crisis of the 3rd Century and all the claimants are literally who nobodies. When people think of Rome they think of the plucky little republic staging the ancient world's greatest comeback against Hannibal to sweep across the mediterranean and topple the great civilizations of old one by one. They think of forging an empire, not slapping bandaids over a decrepit, crumbling one. Attila had exactly this issue, despite taking place in an ostensibly interesting time period players just rejected the prospect of playing anything but ascendant republican rome.

Chances of 'Gnoblar Hordes - The Unwashed Masses' being the best faction mod in the game? Higher than you'd think.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825728189

>>585599692>This is "nothing personnel kid" shit to me.IIRC it's quoted from a fight scene where Manny basically does nuffin personels some kids. Like he was taking them out with throwing knives and wolf transformation, it was a bit anime.
>>58559831090% of factions on this map boil down to cavemen in rags with spears. I don't know why people are so keen about it.
>>585598827You know most of your """fantasy""" is literally based off real life history, right? >>585599443>Attila had exactly this issueAttila was Barbarian Invasion 2.0 DLC as a standalone game. It was great but had issues of its own such as being hard which filtered out all the casuals and limited how you could play which made subsequent runs less interesting. This was most of the problems with TW following Shogun 2 - small history spinoffs as a major standalone game. That being said, if you don't wanna do 3K and must do 100BC, you can do Han Dynasty, Shunga Empire, Kush, etc.

>>585602131you guys think he beat his shit looking at this afterwards?
When you are playing as Archaon/Be'lakor or any of them should I just be capturing every settlement or should I just raze them all except for the Fortresses/Landmarks and resource ones? The vassals feel like they SHOULD be collecting the burnt down ones, but they do it so slowly and it seems like other AI factions grab them and then I have to go backRelated, I didn't want to become Everchosen right away, I wanted to grab all my artifacts and collect a bunch of forts but it seems like once you say no, thats it? No opportunity to do it after?
>>585602131yjk
>>585603436you didn't need to beat your meat back then, u could rape most women around scot free
>>585603565Basically you Raze if you want souls (then send a lord to occupy the ruins and sell them to a friendly vassal) or Sack if you want favour (then occupy and sell it to a friendly vassalYou can trade settlements in the diplomacy screen, very useful.
I'm in the mood for muskets. Should I play Napoleon or Empire what mods do I need?

Why would GW allow two 40k RTS-type games to release right next to each other?
>>585604275Why not? It's not like they care. They give license to whoever asks.
>>585604340Long-term strategy says competing with yourself is bad usually.
>>585604435That depends on if the license is a one time sale or if they demand a % of the profits. If it's the former, the only competition will be between CA and whoever makes DoW now.
do I start a tyrion campaign with all 3 endgames scenarios playing out plus all the crisis appearing or do I start a new modded bannerlord with the warhammer mod and AI influence so I can rape empire men and women as a druchii pirate
>>585604894bannerlord except as a beastman
>>585604435This isn't GW's problem https://investor.games-workshop.com/annual-reports-and-half-year-resultsAll books, rpgs and video games are a tiny part of their profits. Both KING art and CA wanted to make 40k games so they did. Any competition happens between CA and KING art (if even). GW wins either way. Licensed products are a free marketing which pays for itself and even earns a bit and that's that.
>>585604894bannerlord bithces are always so ugly
Is Malekith fun?
HEIR OF AENARIONDo his campaign, but with a twist. Can't hold onto any lands outside of Ulthuan/Elven colonies. Have to try and keep the empire alive through the game.Also no SoK unless you go down the bloodline unique talent.Do whatever the fuck you want with the Dawi, fuck 'em midgets lol.
>>585605962I'd rather play Teclis
>>585583012Anyone have the full image? I know the response is, "I thought we did"
when is empire getting Halagrundsor the Horrible as a legendary giant hero
>>585606206Just wish Oxyotl took over the wastes quicker, having to deal with Kairos really is an annoyance, sure you can cheese him in combat with the drain winds of magic ritual. But you still gotta sail down to red climate and move through chaos corruption to deal with the fuckier.
>>585575672assuming i am armed, i could definitely take a goblin or a dire wolf or a dire bat, as well as anything shittier than them (bretonnian peasant, skavenslave, etc). i don't think i could take on a hobgoblin or an ungor or anything else on their level, those guys both know how to use a weapon and aren't physically pathetic.if i were properly trained like state troops are, i think i'd be able to take on anything a state troop could (skeletons, ungors, etc)
>>585591358I think this is mostly true except that they'll wait until the first couple DLC and not right at launch. They probably want to avoid 3k scenario where the base game sells alot but not the dlc.
a
>>585606643uhhh my Teclis doesn't look like this?
>>585606643RIP geabull ;_;
nagash seems to feel a little too video gamey, it is absolutely optimal at all times to lure enemy armies into the lands of the dead or to completely by pass enemy territory to take stuff behind them to maximize necropolis coverage
Cathay are number one!
>>585586084Both are still to this day top-tier infantry for the jobs they do. High Elves gravitate towards using ranged units for damage because their archers are so strong, but you can make a really strong infantry army with them too
do you run out of fervor with boris when you're done in the empire? double-move would be so comfy for a world conquest.
>>585603565you're supposed to raze everything that isn't a Dark Fortress and then let your Norscan goyslaves recolonize the ruins but because of ally lobotomy and vassalage being a broken mechanic in general it almost never actually works
>>585600340It would also be lopsided, factions outside present day EU would be be trash, which is why a large hismap should start no earlier than 1400, I'd like an updated Timurid golden era.
>>585604275Tbh CA needs some competition.Even if dawn of war is a different genre, there is a lot of overlap in the fanbase, so comparisons are inevitable.TW youtubers are already drinking the dow4 kool-aid as we speak, so at the very least tw40k will have to compete for attention
>>585612402Its good for us fantasy chads as dow4 will grab the attention of 40keks and CA will be forced to make TWWH4
>>585568807>Empirebro was literally fully drained like that alien mummy from Peru by the Countess .
>>585591829s-siege rework ???
>>585613709The insider already told us that the siege rework is a pipe dream, something that they promised without fully understanding what it would entail and will take a lot more resources than initially thought. Hence why its likely never coming, or if its coming, then it will be on the very last patch of this game
Were people filtered by Nagash's early game economy because they didn't understand that they could sack settlements for money?
>the insider said
>>585608869That gif is so fucking funny. I must save it.
>>585613709In addition to what >>585613863 said, the official statement is 9.1 will have the siege rework.They have not mentioned it since stating it would be 9.1Expect us to eventually hit 9.0.9.8
>everything the insider said was true except this one siege thing where they're actually a lying larper m'k-ACK

>>585615296Everything he said was either so vague or of no consequence, I don't think it matters if you believe him or not

Are they actually going to fix Shogun 2 CE or is it gone forever now? If they're going to fix it, how long do you think it'll take?
>>585616890They said they're moving people off of Medieval 3 and 40k to fix Shogun 2 CE.Current belief from people in the field is they should just pull a Hyenas and said mataboo fucked it up that hard.Sega badly wants Shogun 2 CE to push in Japan though, so there's a good chance they put out something that's barely functional.
heroic victory from autoresolve? Never seen that>>585616890What can they even do to fix it? This remaster does legitimately nothing
>>585617148>heroic victory from autoresolve? Never seen thatdifficulty?
>>585617057Its just good sense, shogun 2 is toxic now. Any attempt to fix it will bring the spotlight into a immense fuck up from CA management
>>585617258very hard
>>585617421weird, never saw that either. and it kinda ruins the meaning of a heroic victory, doesn't it?
>>585617148I've only had it from defensive sieges
>>585617259I'm not sure taking the money and running is a "better look"
>>585617732They offered full refunds and will continue to do so.
>>585617732Just refund it and pretend nothing happened
>>585617259Not really Cyberpunk and NMS proved gamers like shit being worked on

>>585618181Yeah but those were both projects that got 90+% of focus.CA has two other games they're trying to get done right now.

If I wanted to play the High Elves would it be worth it to just play 2's campaign?
>>585619736Yes. TWW2 is the superior game.
>>585619736If you want to play Vortex campaign sure. No reason to play Mortal Empires.
>>585619143>Who have they to fear? Well actually, us, I would say! We can be quite, quite frightening also!
>>585619736If you own wh2 you can play HEs in wh3 free.
>>585620010>No reason to play Mortal Empires.Mortal Empires is the peak of TWW.
so is skaven endgame justkill as many armies you can, and just constantly build the anti rat building to spawn a vermintide (bonus if you can insta build)
>>585619940Its higher difficulties are unfun because your top tier melee loses to mid AI units
>>585619736Just to experience the original ulthuan/naggaroth maps, though there's a lot of QOL and updates in WH3 you'll be missing.
>>585619165They don't get along but it's more because they're both huge scheming smartass cunts and can't stand that quality in people other than themselves.
So the AI now just randomly gets access to units it doesn't have buildings to? I think Im too shit for legendary/VH then.
