>>585716987Malekith tapped that?
>>585717262
the next dlc will be bretonnia dark elves and cathaysource: warpstone drank
>>585717336>>585717405
>>585717184Plausibly. Probably.
>>585717336>>585717405The murdergoats have quickly become a favorite of mine. They cut out so much tedious bullshit and just let me be the fucking asshole I want to be.
Claude, fix this. Make no mistakes.
>>585717262Why is her sword so small?Repanse was a tiny chick with a greatsword bigger than she is because it belonged to one of the bigger grail knights.
I want 40k NOW!
>>585718141Ackshually that's a CA invention, Repanse used a normal sized arming sword and a shield, while carrying a banner.
>>585717848The amount of times this happened to me in Attila with raiding armies getting a turn's worth of movement around impassable terrain infuriated me to no end
How do you play dark elves? Do you just make a line of spears and a line of darkshards behind it? How are they different from the high elves?
Elf Male on human female
>>585718646Darkshards in the front, darkshards to the side, darkshards in the back. Or 19 Medusae
other 40k faction discourse>My faction is hthe good guy, everyone else is bad!!!!>muh faction is the victim *ignores it's bad shit* yours is the meanie *ignores their good shit*>my faction is le strongest, muh power levels>muh named character soap operas>my faction is the white race everyone else is brown>my faction is hecking right/left wing/*culture war bullshit*ork 40k faction discourse>lol I lieks to krump gits>me too WAAAAAAAAGH
>>585717848Also getting sick of the AI razing a settlement then march stancing to the other side of the world in one turn.
>>585718646Against meleeevilslop it doesn't feel too different, but once you fight other elves or dw*rfs you realize druchii are more aggressive, the shorter range means you need to be the one pushing inCold Ones (knights and chariots both) are so much more fun than the high elf equivalents by fucking ass instead of sucking ass
>>585718928>fucking assOkay, I'm in.Which LL is the most fun?
>>585718646Dark Elves have a lot more offensive infantry like witch elves or shades, it's just that most people don't use them because of how the campaign works
I love Yuan Shu. I just wish he had a better faction unique unit, and you can use his special vassal mechanic when giving an administrator independence. Instead you have to give them independence, release them from vassalage, and then use your unique mechanic on them but the problem is that they don't want to be your vassal anymore so you have to wipe them out and try again.
>>585719038Morathi is absolute easy mode if you want to get in the shallow side of the pool; slaanesh corruption means your slaves decay slowerOtherwise Malekith is fun to start without being as boring as fucking Tyrion because Valkia will give you a hard early fight at some point
He's the Architect.
>>585717507Monke alreayd leaked.
>>585717715beastmen are a really fun faction, and feature/power creep has made it so that (outside of taurox) they're not quite as mindless "i win campaign rarooo" as they were when their rework droppedalso leaving permanent ruins is awesome
>>585718646> Do you just make a line of spears and a line of darkshards behind it?1 Dreadfu, 3 Reaper Bolt Throwers, 6 Dreadspears, 10 Darkshards
>>585718646they are the most aggressive elvesyou always have really strong ranged units to fall back on but you also have more killy melee and utility melee than the other ones (witch elves applying rampage on shock units to keep them pinned down for murder, sisters of slaughter for a surprisingly tanky lineholder, high damage elite infantry combat cav, caster cav, harpies and monsters of a few different flavors, etc)you shoot the dedicated skullfucker factions and brutalize the archer/gunspammers in melee
>nagash crisis triggers>try attacking neferata army with ambush>warp lightning cannon and two rattling stormfiends unload into her, get her down to to 30% HP>crashes into my frontline and recovers all her health wthin 5 seconds>second unit of Rattling stormfiends unloads into her point blank>does about 5% HP damage>entire army is like -10/-10 because of some global debuff spam>5 coven thrones smash into mudpit and now all of my units have like 5MA/5MD because of debuff stacking and chainingNah fuck this. New campaign time.
>>585721301>witch elves applying rampage on shock units to keep them pinned down for murderMPGODS had that removed, they just poison now.
>>585721605No they self rampage instead
>>585719038Lokhir is probably one of the easiest to win with, shades great swords is extremely versatile unit.Fun = whatever faction you think is cool personally. Play what you like and keeps you playing the game longer you’ll have more fun that way, there is an LL for almost every type of person.
>>585721946false, no one likes Aranessa
>>585720491cylostra confederation for yuan bo mod when?
>>585721605>>585721908>made them self rampagei think that people that whinge about multiplayer balance need to be hung from a gibbet, witch elves are literally worthless nowis there a mod that reverts all the multiplayer balance changes like this wulfharth being the ONLY dedicated ranged legendary lord that has small arms quality on his ranged attack
>>585723156>witch elves are literally worthless nowlollmao
>>585723156When 9.0.3 hit with the handmaiden nerf I just asked Claude to make a mod that reverted it. It should be fairly easy if you can't find any.
>>585722040Valkia bf.
>>585724478So the skull throne is a cuck chair? What did GW mean by this?
Since in TW40k they are doing unit caps, units and weapons locked behind tech and themed detachments forcing balanced armies instead of doomstacking which they intend to heavily restrict, it would be nice if they backported those features to tww
>>585718646>Do you just make a line of spears and a line of darkshardsVery viable, though the AP of darkshards can be wasted against high-volume unarmoured targets. Bleakswords and corsairs are pretty invaluable earlygame for slaughtering clanrat/goblin/marauder/high elf spearmen/skink hordes while shards can focus on high-value-targets.They have maybe one of the strongest economies in the game it feels so it can feel easy to straight to the really high tier units though.Delf generals (and some heroes) have a special mechanic where at level ~10 they get a skill called 'name of power' (for generals there's one for yellow line, red line and blue line) which gives them a dilemma to pick between two big bonuses. One of them increases Shade range a lot and a lot of people rely on that and spamming nothing but Shades.Shades are in a weird spot, they have Stalk and Decent Melee Combatant, but they're also really expensive and have some of the best ranged damage in the game with an arcing crossbow so you're basically always incentivised to protect them with a staunch line of spears and basically use them as a really expensive Darkshard+. But Delves make so much money that you can kinda easily afford it.
>>585724903
>>585725428kawaii
>>585725428Khorne is a retarded rage monkey god, confirmed
Uh oh, looks like this campaign is over.
>>585725428Khorne x Slaanesh OTPPorn where?
Trying deepsmaxxing on 2 provinces and just letting enemies recover, they come back fucking scary if you don't push the AI like normal after early wins
>Nagash AOS Christmas box is 3/4th of an armyOur lich wins again
>>585726067AOS is dogshit for faggots.>you have never even tried itNo, and i never will.
>>585726067The lack of variation makes that look boring, desu.
The Chaos rivalries are sillyTzeentch and Nurgle, they are obsessed with change and static both, life to death back to life is unending change, and Tzeentch will never stop scheming, his own static stateKhorne and Slaanesh, both are obsessed with heightened emotion in a way the others aren't, Khorne can deny it all he wants but murder is peak thrill seeking, and martial supremacy is the peak of perfection any Slaanesh champion ends up pursuing
>>585726580I think the miniatures' differences would pop more with a different color scheme. These are pretty dark with some pale glow on faces
>>585726760Slaanesh is sex, drugs and rock'n'roll
>>585726243I think it's pretty kino.
>>585726951bottom right is a new one?
>Age of Trannymar
>sit and guard the way in into my base with ambush for 5 turns while i reposition my armies>decide to move away since boris never does anything>end turn>pic related
>>585727814Bain?
>>585725428I bet the chalice just didn't have enough dog imagery on it
Art.
>>585727162Yeah, there are some really nice models (and some really shitty ones) in it. Overall it's like the whole AoS, there's a lot of potential to be really cool. Then whether the GW uses it is another thing.
Reminder that leadership system is still completely fucked up in WH3 but for some reason no one cares.
>>585729112god imagine hitting that with Dark Riders
CA fixed this btw
>>585729870small family company
>>585729870yes. this is AI generated.
>>585729870this shit is like RT's yrliet bugs
heh heh>>585729840Imagine not having that skill yet for those two lords.. Totally not me.
Yrliet did nothing wrong
>$2600 prize pool
>>585730335She did plenty wrong, but she's still my favorite RT character. She rekindled my love for the Eldar.
>>585730335who?
KINO
>>585729112>>585729840>The Dreadquake Mortar:
Kugath vs Ghorst is the most miserable fucking war I have ever played and the only other TW experience I can think of as miserable is maybe chasing down Atilla and his cheat death machine or fighting a monk faction in S2 and their rebels every single turn. Holy fucking shit once everyone runs out of WoM it's skinnyfats vs fatties awkwardly wailing on each other and I had to reload several battles where I died to mortis engine shit because it was the only thing left doing damage. Watching Kugath kick his lard feet and not do a single shred of damage then shit himself in a non enemy-damaging way whilst my Plaguebearers slowly die to heartstopper aura was suffering. I hope this is the worst this campaign gets
>>585729870
>>585731228yeah, that's pretty much the worst you'll have to deal with. there's not really anything as tarpit as nurgle versus ghorst
>>585731228MASTER NECROMANCER
>>585725428>>585725728Actual Anime shit.
>>585731228such a funny match up, they deserve each other
>>585730335Tempted to try out that game just for her.
trannies
>>585732647
Now THIS is a pyrrhic victory.

Chorfs look more Evil, Nagash and Chaos are more evil outright, They don't put out as cool of units...
So Boltgun sold great yes? As has Boltgun 2 right? So why is Auroch Digital laying people off? And more pertinently; Is TW40k so expensive to develop that CA will be laying off even more people regardless of it's success?
>>585734420CA lost 0 money on Shogun 2.GW doesn't allow AI near their stuff as well.TW40k is safe
>>585733428>>585734408NO NO STOP IT STOP ENJOYING THINGS
Man, it's so tough getting enough blood, i want to juice a lord but I'm forced to do unit caps, it's so fucking gay.
>>585734408YOU DARE?
>>585733428Kislev is awesome when you haven't got some /tg/tranny secondary in your ear complaining.
>>585734420Does it ever occur to you guys that most dev studios are just really bad with money?
Reikland is more stereotypically German than I thought >literally forced into a two front war at the beginning>carried only by its wunderwaffe units >all of its potential allies (high elves, dwarfs, bretonnia) are retarded and worthless >game ends after getting bumrushed by fucking chaos >open the gates goy
>>585734762Dawi go hard too.>>585735078FR. /tg/ don't even get to bitch as TOW has kislev now.
>>585734408>They don't put out as cool of units...I think hydras, medusas, sisters of slaughter and cold one knights are the highlights of the Delf roster in terms of coolness.
>>585735078I feel like Kislev has all the right elements they just don't add up to a cohesive whole
>>585734938I'm sorry, they just don't have any gifs for aura>>585735418They are cool...but...Lizardmen have cooler big lizards and people riding velociraptors, Slaanesh have cooler Snake people and Naked Elves
>>585733956Ice Magic>>585735521Ironically they need *more* units for that.Because functionally they're 3 armies in a trench coat.Bears and Bear men are the Old kislev's vibe. Kinda Kostlin, but mostly Borus.Then you have the regal new kislev stylized after Poland and Tzarist russia with Winged Hussars and the ice magic.And then you have the purified chaos things in the woods and the Hags
>>585735574>Lizardmen have cooler big lizards I agree with that but...>and people riding velociraptorsI don't agree with that.I think armored elf dark knights riding on velociraptors look cooler. Saurus on cold ones actually look kinda dumb to me.>Slaanesh have cooler Snake people Hell nah, that's a shit take though. The slaanesh snake people look like shit.
post favourite generic LL
>>585735521This is because they abandoned the racial conflict between Ungols and Gospodars in favour of whatever the fuck is going on with Ostankya.I know there was always a theme of the land of Kislev itself fighting just as hard against Chaos as the Kislevite people but I think there's a difference between showing that through attrition and growth inducing invocations and showing that through Spiders, Things in the Woods and Incarnate Elementals.Kislev's main motif is "The People" of Kislev, I for one never foresaw that the faction shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAr7yUlM0Po would be using monstrous creatures that wouldn't look out of place in the Warhost of the Everchosen himself.I mean "The Things in the Woods" have a real name and it's "Balewolves". They are explicitly mutated by Chaos and are typically hostile, no way anyone in Kislev but Ostankya would reasonably be able to field them as she appears to be somewhat anathema to Chaos like Alarielle but in a darker and more twisted way but then again she's pure CA donutsteel so for a lore puritan it's safe to say that nobody in Kislev would be able to field Balewolves.
>>585737070My top 3 are:>High Elven Archmage(Fire)>Dragon-Blooded Shugengan(Yang)>Ice Witch(Ice)
>>585737541you will never be a woman though
>>585737596Yeah? Obviously? I'm a straight white male? Are you brown?
>>585737693go out and talk to girls anon, maybe they'll talk back to you :)
>>585730335>Wow, that space elf looks cute. Let me look up more pictures of her real quick—>AHHHHHHHHHH!!! MY EYES!!! MY FUCKING EYES!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!>*proceeds to vomit uncontrollably*
>>585737895>mogs you
>>585737070Vampire Captains (guns)
>>585737070>generic LLThat's not a thing.
>>585737070
>>585737541I was going to ask why Kislev has so few lores but Hags gave them 4 more including a 3rd exclusive one, they actually have quite a few so instead i'll ask why the fuck can't Elves and Slann use the Lores of Ice and Tempest? Tzeentch technically can via Scribes and Changeling.
Handgunners can shoot over the heads of dwarfs. Can Helblaster Volley Guns?
(You) WILL be watching the official tourney tomorrow right? Who cares that the result is a foregone conclusion because that joyless metafag Enticity is competing? The fun bit is commentating on it in /twg/ with all your anon friends after all!!
post KINO (start campaignposting retarded cumguzzling trannyloving niggerfaggots)
>>585738182Pre-patch Boris.
How did CA get away with the 2 main Game 2 factions having mirrored but essentially the same units? If they did that today, they would have got ripped on hard.
ayoo?
>>585738182tretch craventail
>>585739247Do the Kurgan and Tong come South?
>>585739054Because they aren't actually all that similar in practice?
>>585738672Czarix beats Enticity all the time, though Attackspeedenjoyer and Catholic Alchoholic are jobbers compared to the other two, I guess they didn't want to fly in Chosen since he's Russian.
>>585734938I want to smash Morathi but that's it.
>Skaven get landmarks on basically every Dwaf settlement of note>Dwarfs don't even get one in SkavenblightCA are such ratfags
Nobody likes Skaven, they just like how broken their roster is with great frontline, backline, ambushers, ranged, skirmishers, SEM units. Only the ratfag who likes falsflagging as a ligger and used to ERP in this general all the time is a genuine fan of that shit race.
CA will redeem themselves with the Monkey King DLC.

boy I love siege battles with large amounts of units and how the game genuinely stops functioning entirely as units ignore orders to instead stand in place and get shot>>585737070I like finding ranger trained dwarf lords and making a stack of speedy dwarfs with an agile thane that takes the wanderer skill, an engineer that takes the missile unit speed bonus and bare essentials skills, slayers, rangers, and gyrocopters
>>585740231Find one of his enemies, ask to join their war. You will only be at war ith Throt because diplomacy in this game is retarded.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sEA9txplS0MHaha epic!
>>585741283oh shit that doesn't trigger defensive allies to join in? thats retarded but useful thanks
>>585738672pvp is for homos
So many game companies are collapsing already. And we haven't even gotten to the worst part...
>>585741972if its possible, this is how you should start all of your wars because you can also use it to jew some gold out of their enemies at the same time.if you're good at something, never do it for free!
>>585742359CA is in a better place than most of the industry. imo
The Tau from Planet Tau that's located in the Tau nebula speaking the language Tau worshipping the God Tau
>>585740231If you're willing to cheese you can ask them to break the alliances. The AI sometimes agrees to it.
>>585742480They definitely are, by sheer luck tooThere's a world were Sega are even more retarded and shipped HyenasBut by saving them with Hyenas, Sega cursed them with Shogun 2 Cum Eater and delayed 40k and forced LegendofTotalWar into coming backA worth trade? I don't know...
>>585742547https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhXCQFxGqMM

I just started as the Changeling. How the fuck do I make money? I'm cloaked but I feel like an omnipresent cuck rather than an ambush faction cause I have no money to recruit or build with, and this whole "wishing I was him" thing ain't helping the cuck feeling
>>585739054

>>585745368Warhammer 3 is going to be the last good total war game. We already knew that
>>585745368They don't have Eldar so their waifu posting will be weak. Wait for the Eldar reveal and we'll be on top.
>>585741283I think that's reasonable since you're joining someone else's war instead of declaring yourself, but it should make it so that you have to give the settlements you take to the faction you joined in on or something, treating them as the "war-leader", because right now it's just a second way to declare war. The game might not be able to do that though. I'd love for them to figure out more ways to allow the player to do battles that don't result in steamrolling the map as quickly or allow you to play less aggressively since right now taking as many settlements as possible is the choice for most factions.
>If you use necrach empowerment to speed up Red Duke confederation it crashesNeat.
>>585745578>inb4 tw40k takes so long to release that dow4 gets eldar They know they have the momentum now, and they can cuck CA hard since Shogun 2 CE delayed tw40k for several months, they will release IG and eldar just to steal CA spotlight and win this raceKing Art is playing 4d chess here
>>585745602I think it's widely acknowledged that with 40k, CA needs to pick one of two directions to go in.Either full arcadey "this is about quick battles and fuck the campaign map"or "We're a 4x with real battle mechanics" which requires really adding a lot more thought into how the player interacts with the world/setting.I also think everyone knows CA is betting on the former, which is why they're doing a console release.
Has anyone had any success with Banshee heroes in battle ?
>>585745496>Warhammer 2 was the last good total war game. We already knew thatftfy
>>585745786If DoW4 gets Eldar before TW40k is released then I might be tempted to buy it.
>>585745796Honestly the campaign map is so bad in TWW and the campaign mechanics so broken in a thousand different ways, half of which are frustrating I'd prefer if they did the former.
Clan Rictus in their natural state of asserting dominance over all other skaven.
>>585745368Winning what ? Being released before before a 2027 game ?
>>585746097Cool artwork
>>585745496the historical games are still good. Deeper mechanically, just less content, and not as wide appeal is all.I have hopes that medieval 3 will be great. Definitely not within the first year, but it'll get there. The lack of communication between the teams is an annoyance when playing WH3 because issues that are fixed or greatly improved in the historical titles don't make it to WH3. But the historical titles actually benefit from that because they aren't infected with the dogshit ideas and balancing that WH3 has.
>>585746168The marketplace of attentionAll total war content creators turned their coats overnight and are vomiting multiple dow4 videos, they will never come back
>>585745796The latter is their best chance at differentiating themselves from DoW4. CA might be heading for disaster because they're going to alienate their core fan base by going full rts while they'll be directly competing with DoW4 for 40K fans.
>>585745368I'll give it 2 weeks before the usual "BIG PROBLEMS" videos start showing up and the playerbase drops off a cliff
>>585746097Clan SHITtus
>>585746453>they'll be directly competing with DoW4 for 40K fansWon't 40k fans just buy both?
>>585746530No, you can only buy one
>>585746530I doubt it. If they do buy both base-games to try them out, they'll only buy DLC for the one they like more probably.
Karl Kopinski is the best WH artist. I like how everybody he draws looks like they got put into a blender full of knives and are psychotic
>>585746530Yeah obviously, and TW40k isn't until sometime next year anyway in the best of cases so I dont know why these retarded fucks keep saying the two games are competing in any way whatsoever. Might as well say DoW4 is competing with GTA6 too.
>>585746530Most will buy both, they might wait for one to be on sale, but they'll buy both.Due to how people generally function however, they'll only pour their money into one of them (DLC) since both games intend to do the long drawn out content patches with loads of DLC plan, and as we saw with literally every other big game release that does this, when your game does it, it now competes with all other games that do it, because most people can't afford to stay up to date on DLC for every game they've ever played.
>>585746658>Karl KopinskiWhich AI model is that?
>>585734408Dark Elves are THE massed, grim-faced armies of the Dark Lord in WHF. A Sorcerer-King ruling from a jet-black tower, surrounded by swarms of harpies and dragons as his legions march in lockstep to war. Extremely HoMM3-Present Dungeon. The only other faction that even touches that itch is Chaos Dwarves, and they're way more about evil industry than classic dark lord stuff.
>>585740231>finally declares war on you when you are at a disadvantageous spot but you somehow win>next turn "ally joins war" as the stronger allies on his side decide they also hate you
Its so rare the game gives you a delicious gunpowder vantage point like this you just gotta slow down and appreciate it
>>585746658oh my god it's him, it's john swordsman
>>585747015>damage numbersbro it was a meme you weren't actually supposed to use the mod
There is no point in being hype for tw40k when dow4 scratches the 40k itch
What if both DoW4 and TW40K fail?
>>585747171We can finally begin the healing process.
They updated the dwarfs with flying units and improved performance!!
>>585747171DoW is dead, again.CA is probably not allowed to do anymore RTS after that unless they do a Total Warhammer Definite Edition.
>>585747171CA probably stutters and dies if TW40k fails
>>585747425SEGA would let them put out Alien Isolation 2 to see if they're allowed to continue as a non-RTS company, but odds are they'd be dead, yeah.
>>585747159we love borderlands in this general, people will say no but they are just lying
>>585746646>I doubt itwhy lmao they don't even play the same
>>585738674
>>585747425>>585747516Med3 will be their last chance
>>585747542I can admit to liking borderlands gameplay, but even there I don't care much for the damage numbers. It adds nothing to the experience.
>>585747542i like borderlands 1borderlands 2 was a better gaem than 1 and was very funny but claptrap (singular) was super annoying when he popped up and the tone changed a loti never played any more beyond that
What companies besides CA, make Sega money?
Did you know: Even elves like killing elves.

>>585748197According to googleAtlus, Sonic Team, Yakuza, and their mobile games studio all make more than CA.
Nagash campaign would be not even 1/4 as fun without guns, thank you VC for existing just for this purpose
>>585717262built for bbc
>>585745796I'm really hopeful there will be big new mods that can do that stuff for tww3 soon. But also I don't totally hate that total war hasn't tried that hard. Because it requires very intelligent design and a lot of thought. Games like paradox's hearts of iron iv for instance try very hard to emulate more abstract processes but it just winds up being even dumber in practice. Playing against the ai in that game is less fun than total war. Honestly, I think total war deserves some credit. I feel like I'm always fighting somewhat different armies in the game, and in somewhat different ways, and I'll often get a very satisfying battle. People like to shit on it so much but we're all here playing it with thousands of hours because the core design does work and a lot better than most other strategy games.
>>585747171DoW4 are listening to the mpfags so that game will be dead if not on release then very soon after. For all their faults CA rarely give in to mpfags so TW40k has a better chance
Maybe Naggaroth doesn't need a king but rather a great and terrible queen.
>>585748613Henri le massif Big Bretonnian Cock?Obviously.
>>585718646Spears should only be used if you can't afford anything else. Shades and darkshards are the shit you want to use, also monsters like hydras or medusas. Also if you are playing morathi you can spam sorceresses and all the lores the dark elves get are good apart from beast unless you just want flock of doom spam

>>585748815I think the combat system is enough to get a lot of people hooked.I think the campaign layer is a problem for us autists who have the game so memorized that we know how to handle most LLs, so we want new ways to play the game.But for the vast majority of people, it's more than enough.

>>585749581At least we can see a patch of trees without having a nervous breakdown.
>The Wildwood Rangers initially claimed that Waystalker Paht Tilmahn and his unit were attacked in an apparent ambush on a road outside of the village of Vaul's Anvil about 25 leagues (120 km) southwest of the Waterfall Palace, near the Bretonnian border. It was not until after his burial that investigations by the Athel Loren court of inquiry and the office of the Master of Scouts were launched, eventually ruling his death as having come by friendly fire.

>>585749863Which Welf LL is the most fun?
Can someone dumb down for me the differences between vampiric corruption, undead wasteland, and land of the dead?
I can't tell if bow ushabti are actually good. They wreck the helicopters that Thorek shouldn't have, but they also seem to struggle to kill clanrats, let alone stormvermin.
>>585732198 It's a good (if very flawed) game, but be warned that you don't recruit her until like 20 hours in.
>>585730335Best 40k game ever, passfag would disagree because he has no taste
>>585750762They have shrapnel round which is pretty good.
>>585750762Can't tell if bait or stupid
>>585750668Vampiric Corruption is a type of corruption spread by characters, factions, and techs. It's what most Undead factions spread. Like creep in StarcraftUndead Wasteland is what Niggash makes a climate(climate is the suitability like a jungle or desert) once he uses his rite.Land of the Dead means Nagash has a nearby Necropolis and gets bonuses for fighting near it and in some cases can make the climate an Undead Wasteland if he owns more than half the province
Only 12% of players have played Tzeentch
>>585750762Its one of those units that exists, but doesn't have a good fire rate and its missiles are almost invisible so you can't tell what kind of work its doing. Its like a high model count bolt thrower unit that can walk around and die in melee a bit. They are no jezzails.
>ambush enemy>win>they're not wiped out???
>>585750762low unit count and long reload time mean they're better suited to shooting larger, high armor targets than wasting ammo on small fodder. regular skellie bowmen are for killing packs of trash
>>585737070DARK AND NOOOOBLE WARRIOR
>>585746097>rictusWho? Is that your OC clan?
>>585751549Supreme Sorceress is better
>>585751297you have to get some high corruption and/or relations in that province to make it cheap enough to pull off and not be at war with them, not something you see that often in an enemy you are about to attack.
>>585751687I did it in turn 6 to Teclis who spawns across the water. I thought you were meant to with him being right there. Figured it was how they wanted new players to test it out
>>585750295Wait for the rework.
>>585749340cold one knights are excrutiatingly mediocre combat cav

Harpies?>Cold Ones vs Silver helms?
>>585751297this only counts if you claim the settlement yourself? because I don't think I've ever done that its much more funny to give an enemy settlement to skulltaker who then hollows the enemy empire out from the inside
>>585751941well I believe your old buddy Sarthoreal made the corruption in the province high enough to make it affordable, which is the main factor in cost. Tzeentch factions surviving past turn 10 and spreading any corruption is pretty rare anywhere on the map.
>>585751549>still have old Dreadfus with every name of power saved
>>585750762You're paying a lot for 1) also being a big smashy deadly monster in melee, 2) Having height for great firing lines, 3) massive near-artillery-tier range, 4) Armour piercing. Gotta work to its strengths

>>585745796>I also think everyone knows CA is betting on the former, which is why they're doing a console release.People keep saying this and I find it absolutely absurd, especially in this general of all places.Everything they showed off tw40k looks far more simulationist and in-depth than in tww. I would even say that they designed it around typical volundite complaints. Which is why TWW40k>Got rid of most single entities and forced characters into bodyguards>Switched focus from immortal named super heroes to making literally who generics in custom factions>Made factions more important than rules again>Added actual ballistics and line of sight to individual models within a unit because that YouTube short about "evolution of TOtal War gunpowder" with almost 1m views embarrassed them>Models within 1 unit can shoot at different targets>Individual models within a single unit hold different weapons, with different range, stats and rate of fire>You again need fleet to move on "sea" instead of conjuring them out of thin air>Generaless armies are a thing againAnd much more. Compared to DoW4 game is even more serious, simulationist and in-depth. Which is why TW40k has strafing with vehicles while dow4 does not

>>585759061She loves cocaine
does anyone know why sometimes as undead legions my Nameless money cap goes past 10k highest I saw was 12k no clue why
>>585726580It's the biggest problem with the faction. They have a good amount of units, but since they're well ghosts they all look the same. Don't have any armour to differentiate between units so it mostly just comes down to "bedsheet holding an axe vs holding a sword vs holding a scythe vs holding a glaive vs holding a crossbow vs ..."You coulld easily come up with some ghostly monsters or whatnot but gw just hasn't gotten around to it for whatever reason. So their unit variation is mostly limited to the pity heroes brings out every edition which actually have some different things going on, like for example picrel.

>Options -> Gameplay -> [OFF] ChaosYep, it's fun having time
>>585759646Your options for guns, artillery and machines are...-Empire (already played)-Dwarfs (Like empire but no fast units in exchange for all your units being tough as nails and heavily armoured)-Kislev (Lots of gun units that are also simultaneously melee units, good if you like big gunlines that don't crumble instantly.)-Cathay (A fair few gun/arty units that are protected by tough defensive warriors. Orderly and Balanced.)-Chaos Dwarfs (a mix of super-elite guns, warriors, artillery and monsters restricted with unit caps, supplemented by lots of cheap and disposable slaves.)There's also skaven and the vampire coast but they're probably too Dirty for you.

>>585760665why did AoS completely fail as a setting?nobody cares about it, it literally got less traction than random VNs
>>585761273The feelings are mutual
>>585761575I think AoS right NOW? At this very moment? Is pretty cool, it took its time but its cool nowI hope we get more shots at the AoS setting, but developers will probably always opt for the 40k setting nowadays, TOW is lame. WHFB is dead but at least we got WH1-3 and VermintideA Smegmatide and a Total War Sigmar would be cool...
>>585760158>>585760381How's Malakai?
>>585750295honestly comes down to personal preference, but for me it's Sceolan in IEEstarts on a gorgeous isolated pair of islands in the southeast of the map so you feel nice and cozy and insulated in your homebase, and you can then choose any of the like 16 magic forests (9 from basegame +7 from IEE) to hit next via worldroots. you're also within ~5 turns of sailing to two other forests natively, so you can start a third one before the worldroots go off cooldown again.he's a glade lord with an ambush and melee focused skill tree and who gives you extra charges of the freezing dryad and eternal guard ROR. his faction gets lore of ice for spellsingers/weavers and bound blizzard spells for 3 turns when one of his armies visits a magical forest or frozen region
>>585761425By this time next year the entire game will have be decompiled, recompiled, freecompiled, and opencompiled. We will be playing openWarhammer with instant load times, a good renderer, and battles that can be up to ten times larger than what we have right now. Do you have any idea how bright the gamer future is? And we'll have a lot of time to game because we'll all be unemployed and living off savings before we kill ourselves.
>>585762186Awful for your second campaign, he's tough af and uses mechanics that no other race does (mainly grudges and Deeps). He's very fun, but go back to him later.

>>585762752TABLETOP CAPS NIGGA
>>585761884No it wouldn't and nothing has changed regarding the why it failed.Warhammer is not noble bright or high fantasy. AoS is, but its wearing WHFB's skin suit.Its aesthetic is fucking awful and the antithesis of Warhammer. Others have tried to do Warhammer but better rules and they failed like Warmachine. Others have tried the aesthetic but in an ironic post modernist, and inauthentic shit show and that is Trench Crusade.AoS is sincere in its setting but that sincerity is being a 'what if calarts grads got their hands on the IP'. Turns out, no one cares and everything associated with it is D.O.A.

>>585767279Like a lot of LLs his spell line draws from a mix of different lores.
Every so often I'm getting attacked as the changeling and I have no idea how, do they run into my army or what? I've played like half the campaign under the assumption I am actually unable to be attacked but all of a sudden on Ulthuan they keep attacking me. Is it just a super ambush stance or something?
>>585767415duhhhhh aren't you only invisible if you have a trickster cult in the region?
>>585764954I will defeat them
>>585767279>>585767376It's originally a tabletop thing, that doesn't really translate to this game. Lores comprised six spells and characters would usually only have four of them available at any given time, and usually they were randomly generated by rolling. The Loremaster rule just meant that they would always have all spells of a lore available to them.In Teclis's case, because he was a very special boy, he got a rule to generate his spells in a unique way. He either got to have all the six spells of High magic, or he got to handpick one spell each from the eight generic lores, meaning in the latter case he got to ignore the usual randomness and had a choice of 48 spells instead 6.There are actually a few characters in this game who had Loremaster on the tabletop. Like Vilitch and Khatep. Another couple didn't have it on the tabletop but still have it in this game, like Morgiana and Vlad.

>>585777801I don't like Chaos. And I don't like Skaven. And I don't like the undead. I want them all removed from my game experience.
>>585777801>t. Claude
>>585777662Uhh.. still chaos I think? The marauder flavors come in poison, AP and magic attacks. The wood elves have the sisters of thornes who are way higher tier than marauder horsemen but they ride stags.
So....who actually invented barrel rifling?
>>585779167the answer is always the inventions name, first name johnjohn rifle
>>585779167john barrel
>>585779350>>585779307Well whichever John it is, it's definitely not a stuntie name.
>>585779389well sometimes it's just anglicizedjohann rifle
>>585779167If it exists in warhammer then probably cathay for their crane guns.
So if an ambush fails, you can't reinforce it. Lost a fucking turn 25 campaign for this lesson.

>>585781949franzbros...
>>585779167Europe. Who exactly? No one knows for sure. It was first developed for cannons then scaled down but only for specialist use. Rank and file had smoothbore for more than 100 years after rifling was common for elite light infantry.The earliest surviving rifled barrel comes from an eccentric German regional lord who was super into hunting. He also inadvertently either invented or paid someone who invented fully custom rounds ala modern 'bullets' in their own casing with powder etc and loaded like a modern rifle in the early 1530's.No one knew this until about 20+ years ago until it was found in a random chest in some old aristocrat German family home, long buried and forgotten. About a half dozen rounds survived intact but they are not safe to shoot. Long story short this guy's rifled barrel predates previous earliest thought small arms rifling by 200+ years and his ammunition pre dates self contained 'bullets' by 300+. All of his stuff was custom and laboriously hand made though and estimated his gun and a dozen rounds was worth more than a modern luxury car. Something like 2,000 euros per round when converted from the price of gold/silver at the time.Ironically it was probably seen by others the same way the steam engine, rail and cart was by the Greeks - cool but enormously and frivolously expensive with little practical application due to the inability to scale it up. As ever, the British Empire's greatest strength was the Industrial Revolution which eventually gave birth to the autism that allowed for Standardisation which unlocked the modern world as we know it.If the Germans had been in the beginning of, or in the middle of, an industrial revolution while this guy was getting his weird hunting equipment made, it is entirely likely a WW1 scale war would have occurred centuries earlier. We might be up to WW4 by now. Or the scramble for Africa with sighted, rifled modern rifles, artillery etc occurring in 1750.
>>585781949Good for u.
SUCK IT, SARACENS!
>>585761692>brettonian
AI should not strive to make huge factions. Same culture liberations and alliances between many small factions should occur when a faction gets too big relatively. AI should not strive to expand beyond their borders unless their faction personality is to do that. When player makes a bunch of alliances and then gets huge AI strategic threat indicator should skyrocket like de Gaulles blood pressure when panzers crossed the maginot line, unless its empire and faction won a lot of wars against chaos then a elector count confederacy counter should go up. This way, only a few countries end up massive, which can’t just attack anything wantonly because then it will get attacked by 4-5 smaller factions in retaliation. More but not all factions should strive for libertarian style faction diversity because it is fun when battles have more than 2 factions participating. Battle of Chalons in TWM2 is probably my favorite battle period
This is the south east kino we're missing out onCA please add khuresh nao
Every NPC faction should aim to paint the map. Everything they do should be in service of that. Every NPC faction should receive unlimited cheat bonuses. There shall be no NPC faction alliances. Everyone shall be at war all the time. Every end turn, every NPC faction should open diplomacy with the player asking the player for all of his money.
All the ai factions should get together and form a united factions council and complain at the player to stop being such a warmonger, but ultimately do nothing about it

>>585792614I'm an ESL, trying my best.
This ignoble cur, marched all the way from the badlands to Skavenblight just to gank my recon army that just got done mopping up the last of Clan Skrye.Ze Lady wills his defeat!
>>585792614Serious question: is there a TW game that DOESN'T feel half-baked?
>>585792775Ur mods disgust me.
>>585792614WH3 is my favorite game
>>585792780the closest I've played to something that genuinely feels like a completed game was probably 3 kingdoms. That engine had potential especially the way it handled diplomacy and that late game mechanic where smaller factions became confederated into giant empires. Shame the lazy thick cunts over at CA didn't bother to remaster WH1 and WH2 on it and pave the way for its implementation for WH3.
>>585792891Skarbrand the weak - stays grounded as ze Lady's might descends to smite him.
>>585792927And small family artisan businesses like CA are grateful for loyal fans like yourself.
The so called fighting god missed his one chance to shoot my lord out of the sky. Skarbrand's shameful, and weak ranged attack did nothing but set some bushes on fire.Churlish indeed.
>>585792891The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.Your daemon filth has been LANCED and purged,
>>585792614I was going to say fall of the samurai at least felt like a complete experience but then I remembered the spamming of stacks by ship to any and every undefended settlement it could, and would go as far out in the ocean as it needed to perfectly avoid your interception ranges.Every single title has at least one major problem that makes you not want to play it again
CA have stated every Total War will be modernised and re-shipped using WarCore engine with many bug fixes.
>>585793818modernized with all new bugs
Zhao Ming bros.. our response??
>>585792891Oh sorry, I will submit the appropriate mod list for my next campaign for your personal review.
Is Radious any good?
>>585761884>Smegmatide and a Total War Sigmar would be cool...I'd rather it be a Dynasty Warriors game or a party-based souls-like like Jack Garland's game
>>585794159Now that I see it mentioned, yeah, whenever I play Bhashiva Zhao gets his shit kicked in by literally any faction near him. Last time I played her by the time I took Zharr-Naggrund, Zhao was still trying to retake Shang-Yang from the rebels and getting eaten up by Clan Eshin walking around him to take his minor settlements.
I'm gonna do a Dark Elf campaign tomorrow and try to use doomfire warlocks moreWish me luck
>>585794394never wasnever will be
>>585794394No, he was mediocre at best during Shogun 2.Since at least Attila he has been the armoured(chosen) slayers meme modder.
>>585794869At least during Shogun 2 it made sense (somewhat). Everyone had the same base roster and combining troops like that was both not diluting faction identity, and fit relatively well with the way units worked in Shogun 2 (several variants of the same unit with different weapons, sometimes faction-specific ones also being just that like loan sword ashigaru). It only got stupid with stuff like nodachi ninja.In every other game, it's awful though. Just completely deletes all flavor.
>>585794264Excellent.
>>585761575My beef with Age of Sigmar is that it just doesn't look interesting. It's fantasy Valahlla - in that the factions exist solely to fight "epic battles" and have nothing else to them outside of it.There's no fun dynamics like the Dwarves being master craftsmen but also incredibly stubborn hyper-conservatives that refuse to adapt (i.e., change their ways) resulting in their downfall.
>>585795978I think this shit looks hype af. Reminds me of monster hunter.
>>585795978>>585796419They got some cool dudes
>>585795978Exactly, nothing matters in AoS.What is even the endgame?Chaos just wipes and resets the board? Again?There are no stakes and there is no reason to give a shit.The whole thing is the culmination of the worst aspects of a protected IP TT. Right down to the retarded copyright names. WE ALL KNOW OGORS MEANS OGRES.Its like a speed run of western comic book plotlines that have to go multiverse meta plots because they ran out of ideas that fit within one reality and setting decades ago.Sure, there are a few thousand people left who still buy modern comics. Without movies and other media though, the entire medium in the west would be dead.AoS has nothing behind it to support movies and games and tv shows and general interest from people with vague memories of characters they knew or liked as kids.It has about as much impact as Chinese mobile game no.198123890 but with no tits or arse...so it appeals to....a few thousand people globally - half of which are just giving lip service for political posturing.
I really miss how responsive battles in FotS felt. Gunpowder and lethality, so good. What's the best non-Chorf gunpowder experience in Warhammer 3?
>>585796631I like this guy's hat. Wonder why he's called after eltharion.
>>585796419Every time someone posts an AoS model outside /tg/ its always a screenshot from the store.Not to mention you showcase exactly why it sucks. Monster Hunter is not Warhammer. It fails at the first hurdle.
>>585796662The whole point of AoS was reviving the in-store tabletop game by turning it into a more social, less serious experience. And it worked... several people met their life partners through AoS sessions. Possibly. I mean i have no evidence, sure, but it's entirely possible AoS changed the trajectory of someone's love life.
>>585796690ElspethMiaoMalakaiIkit
>>585796765Monster Hunter is cool, who cares if it's not warhammer.
>>585796964MonHun is GAY nowFuck YOUFUCK WORLDSFUCK RISEFUCK WILDSFUCK STORIES
>>585797017Get a life or take some jew pills. If all you can do is screech at things you don't like then you'll never be happy.
>>585796820If AoS was the sole product of GW, they would have gone into receivership 10 years ago.
Tabletop Tavern has just added a magic system, bound abilities and mages. Warhammer 3 is soon to be obsolete!! This solo indie dev has the technology!!
>>585796964People who like Warhammer, want their Warhammer to resemble the 43 year old game they got into.AoS does not, ergo it cannot even sustain secondaries pretending to be into it.
>>585797126That's the point tho? 40k carries them so they can do shit like AoS and now TOWI mean you can literally say that about WHFB too then lmao
>>585797183Is that good? It's on my list to buy, i've been supporting TW-likes...Waiting for the Dominion/conquest games to go on sale again...
>>585772353CA was not consistent about applying this stuff even back in the first game.
>>585797204Well then boo-hoo, go play your old game. Do it like those Medieval fanbois and replay that ancient shit for the 500th time, I'll be happy over here playing Cathay and Skarbrand.
>>585766549>the one and only double loremaster
>>585797183... rain? Inside the tavern?
Do we think it's on purpose that Nagash has no way to upgrade his wall towers? Also, is he supposed to not have any followers that aren't banners?
give me your slann gold or i will beat you up
>>585797701I don't know about the first one. The second one is a bug that CA has been made aware of.
>>585797781Has Rog apologised for the bug yet?
>>585797183I refunded that game because the balance is whack, and not in a good way
>>585796662>>585797126At the end of the day gw is primarily a tabletop model company, and on that front AoS outsold fantasy from day one. Secondaries only make up a fraction of GW's consumers.Though to be fair especially in regards to 40k, that fraction has been growing steadily for almost a decade. But in 2015 this really was negligible.Having a beloved ip is all well and good but if it's costing the company money, well...
Even after three games, when interacting with the most basic elements on the campaign map it still feels like playing a beta.
>>585797897It's too dense. There's too much going on. Campaign maps are less awkward in every other Total War.
sissies, how do we destroy dow4 before it destroy us?
>>585797897It is a beta... All leading to.. FORTY KINO!!!!!
>>585796718Eltharion went to fight Arkhan.Arkhan killed Eltharion by cursing his body to age to dust.Teclis felt bad about that because it was kind of entirely his fault that Eltharion had to go fight Arkhan.Teclis tried to make Eltharion's soul a new body.Unfortunately Eltharion's new bodies just kept aging to dust.Eltharion's soul instead pilots a body of living light.Arkhan was laser kicked into a magical laser wall so they're 1-1.
>>585798559Arkhan can't even get a win over in smegma land huh...
>>585798247RTS is a dead genre bro DoW4 sell well by virtue of it's setting but it will fail to retain any players, all you have to do is compare the wishlist counts and you'll see that in reality it's Dawn of War 4 that has the sense of impending doom via Total War stealing all it's players. Only APM drone gooks still give a shit about RTS as a genre, everyone else is filtered by the need to optimise every single click or lose.
>>585796718Really impressive model once you figure out what is going on
>>585798760Then explain OUR content creators shilling it 24/7 specially turin and cookies
>>585798760>as he says, for the 5th time this week, nervously
>>585798816>>585798856Because we don't even have a release date on our beta yet? By contrast Dawn of War 4 has both a release date and an ongoing beta, if there was a playable TW40k beta on right now they'd be playing that instead? How is this not obvious you dooming retards? Why are you shitposting giganiggers trying to manifest the death of a franchise you supposedly enjoy?
>>585798927On the opposite anon, I like this franchise well enough to want the death of everything and everyone that threatens it, this includes legend, volound and history cucks death cults
>Playing Vlad>Confederate Mannfred>NAGASH IS MY ONLY MASTER>I WILL SURPASS MY SIREFucking manlet.

>>585798612He killed Kemmler and Eltharion in the End Times, he got enough.
>>585799237Okay but they also loved WH3 launch until 'the community' pushed back.Okay but they also loved Shadows of Change until 'the community' pushed back.Our CCs are pure shills man, slaves by trade, they may be correct, I wouldn't know but you should be looking for the opinions of creators who don't have a history of trading their integrity for early access.
>>585799403But I need someone to validate my opinions
>>585799056They didn't change his defeat trait so if the player for some reason chooses to fight Mannfred as Nagash, the reward is -50% attrition from vampiric corruption, the single corruption type Nagash doesn't suffer attrition from. One last fuck you from the bald man.
One game has AdMech and Necrons, the other has GayGuards and ShitDarsI know what i'm buying.

>>585800123Posting yrliet isnt the same as ratposting
>>585799565Neither game has soul. Only reason TWW3 has any droplets of soul is because the prior games were being released before much GW oversight and they couldn't fuck it up with retcons and mandates as much
No, but it has the same effect, you don't need to post furry porn to achieve the same result of disrupting on-topic conversation in thread after thread, posting about /othergame/ over and over is more than good enough.You're ratfags not because of the things you spammed, but because of the result being identical to that of the ratfags even thought he methods differed.I guess I can give you props for scurrying away the second a janny got sick of it instead of taking it as a further challenge like the true ratfags did though.
>>585772353Katarin gets basically the exact same benefits from her Ice Mistress skill, plus a little extra as I recall it. It not being named Loremaster only matters if you want to funpost in the manner of >>585797394.

It is turn 60.Ungrim has declared war on meThanks to the Fudging Vassals mod, I've been helping my vassal Zhufbar take over the mountains from the filthy ratmen.I have killed Drycha.Kemmler and the Red Duke are preparing to invade BretonniaGolgfag has managed to avoid my wrath by virtue of expanded southwest and I have enough enemies as is.I had intended to kill Festus by now, but fortune favors him.Boris Todbringer is dead.All that remains of the empire is Gelt in the south, and four minor factions, three of whom are almost dead, one of whom is my defensive ally (averland), though I suspect they will start breaking treaties with me sooner rather than later.Mannfred has a lot of dwarfs to murder, and I'm already hating every moment of it because Slayer armies are literally the most unfun thing to play against.If you don't count nurgle fat blobs anyway.
>>585803537pedo
>>585742775No, romancing her without a fade to black sex scene all other characters have in game only enraged schizos on 4channel, it's nonfactor beyond this placeShe is controversial because she "betrays" you. Except that she doesn't betray you at any point, but this is too complex for a topic to get for playerbase. She was meant to betray you in original pitch, but they rewrote it. Functionally she is now retarded, which is not a damning character trait since you have other retards in your crew too, like Argenta. But they wrote out her betrayal so late in development that some characters and game still act like she is a traitor, which doesn't make any sense in current build, but is confusing for players. So players are essentially gaslighted by remnants of original story into believing she is a traitor
>>585800502Did they change the line?
>>585803537I look like this.
>>585804410Yes.Now mannfred yellsNAGASH WAS ARROGANT... to write down his research for others...
>>585804034Those borders are painful to look at.
>>585772353>Don't bullshit me about tabletop rules, they had no rules at all in 8th edition.The old rules inform some choices in this game but aren't the end all. Like how Vlad didn't have the loremaster rule but still gets it on his skill tree.
which lord do you think has the most fun starting army?
>>585804607Well that sucks if true. It was a memorable, memetic line.
>>585804707They are, but the point of a campaign is to fix the borders.Eventually I'll have Zhufbar owning the mountains, all of the empire under my control, and we'll see what happens to Kislev in the process.My only concern is there are a few mountain spots with dragon graveyards in them so I might want one or two settlements here or there.
>>585803007it doesn't actually remove forest bonuses/debuffs its just cosmetic so I didn't see the point
>>585804825Wish I could tell you but The CREATIVE Assembly have been randomly changing up starting armies for factions recently so I don't FREAKING know anymore...
>>585804825Tyrion gets a bit of everything: Indfantry, archers, cav and a Phoenix, plus your starting mage.That being said, just get the mod that lets you change your starting guys.
>>585804925I don't think it replaces NAGASH WAS WEAK. On the map Mannfred sometimes says "Nagash was arrogant, to scribe his teachings for another."
>>585805276nagash will never recover from this burn
Was Nagash truly busted at launch or were brainlets simply too n00b to understand basics like sacking for income and not trying to build a necropolis in every settlement?
What a mess..
>>585806673they're idiots
>>585806673It was basically chorfs release 2.0, literal retards not capable of adapting to his mechanics.
>>585806673Sacking for income has always been super retarded though. For most factions it's an unnecessary and punishing step towards the only way you can actually win: taking land from your enemy. If they really wanted it to be the core economy for nagash they should have given him a special loot&occupy or even a special loot&raze that gives the full sack value.
>>585807362Niggash is not most factions and only settlements you build necropolis in matter, rest is sack fodder. Makes perfect sense for him.
GRAB HIS DICK AND TWIST IT
45 minutes until pure kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8T2aUl2nUg
>>585807571?Nagash has even more incentive to take settlements because he needs to own at least half the province in order to perform ritual of undeath and increase his necropolis limit. And if you settle for taking the bare minimum amount of settlements then you risk losing the undead land as soon as some faggot AI backcaps a single undefended settlement.
>>585807717How do I gamble on this
>>585807862Kalshi or Polymarket, official partners of the NBA
>>585807717Are we going to see a Chaos sweep or an Undead sweep? We certainly won't see Order win.
>>585807717>Red Bull Gamingwhat?
>>585806673His mortarch conditions were retarded and his system of losing tech when you lose land coupled with shit garrisons and weak early economy (you sack for like 500 gold at the start, doesn't even cover the cost of repairing the settlement), not to mention how slow it is to get necromantic energy in the beginning which is the biggest growth bottlecap still makes him have the hardest start of a lord in a long time. Actual while I'm ranting his general campaign direction is stupid and contradictory>only get soul juice by fighting near a necropolis>but the enemy in this game is so passive and gay the only way to get battles is to go to the enemy and be aggressive>can't even use the empty army lord bait ambush tactic to goad them into land of the dead because neither he or any of his lords get an ambush buff on their blue line and the desert has no trees to hide in>tech tree does not progress unless you expand>so you HAVE to go out and fight battles that don't give you your main resource in order to expand (which costs necromantic energy, which you have very little of because you had to fight deep into enemy territory to build your next necropolis)A lot of dumb clashing ideas in his campaign that is only saved by having access to the most fun roster in the game
>>585806716Turn 7, btw.
Hold up maybe the preyton is actually cute?
LOOTANDRAZE
When enhancing vampire bloodlines TWO bloodlines enhance the caps for the vampire building, one enhances the caps for the ghost building, one enhances two different caps for the ghoul building.And then one does crossbows/gunsWhy do bone boys and beasts get no love?
>>585808747Is that why it's a Slaanesh unit? I can't think of another reason why.
>>585808336Red Bull have given CA £2,600 in prize pool money for an invitational on the stipulation that CA put Red Bull's name on it, the players and casters were picked by CA but the event is paid for by Red Bull. I don't really know why Red Bull does this stuff, they sponsor loads of stuff but I just don't see how paying for a Total War tournament translates into more Red Bull sales.
>>585808715
>>585804113its a compliment
>>585808336Max Verstappen LL soon
whats the USP of these guys? gotta be the weakest lord option in the whole game, right.
>>585807781The land he takes are t1 shitholes mostly and you loose literally nothing by first sacking it.
>>585810205In a world of 1 man doomstack warriors and mages, the humble support lord with aoe passive stat increases is a novel and enjoyable experience.
>>585810205>Coomer brain can't into support lordsBig surprise
>>585810205>he doesn't know
>>585809136It's probably like Aqua Teen Hunger Force for Adult Swim.Someone in the company really likes it, so whenever they have spare cash around, it gets funding.
>>585809016>Why do bone boys and beasts get no love?There were a few different ways they could have gone with the Von Carstein bloodline. Could have raised the cap on grave guard and black knights, or on varghulfs and vargheists, or on fell bats and black coaches, or on the new drakenhof templars, or on the generic vampire hero, or on some other combination of units. If I were to guess why the associated Von Carstein tech emphasizes the mortal levies, and why the generic Von Carstein vampire lords emphasize mortal levies, and why the Von Carstein bloodline empowerment emphasizes mortal levies, my first guess would be that it's because Vlad is the race's most popular LL and his ability to recruit Empire units received positive feedback, and was probably something the CA team also thought was fun.So it was a bit like they were playing musical chairs with what unit types got highlighted and there simply were no chairs to spare for skeletons and beasts.
>>585810205Hell no, they're fucking good. You just park them on a sky junk high above your army and have them plink the enemy army and what he does is massively buff your whole army.

>>585801724Worth noting that these factions didn't launch with shadow warriors, rangers or bladesingers.Factions are always a bit more distinct from other factions before they have a few DLCs, DLCs usually can't help but cause a lot of overlap

>>585815286this is the stupidest fucking battle i have ever fought in total war since i was a kid playing shogun 1. completely annihialte their army, annihilate everything, but they have 3 heroes who simply dont die so my entire army is destroyed. there is no way to do any damage.fucking moba faggotry.
>>585814504
>>585815491Did you bring crossbowmen?
>>585815491>>585815286When fighting vlad you really need to bring like some outriders or handgunners and focus fire.
>>585815771I've already uninstalled the game, I'm not wasting my time on a fucking moba. back to Med II it is then until CA finally releases a non retarded total war game next century

>>585815390Ghorst
>>585815491>>585815286>0 damageThat's because you're using cavalry against characters who get instantly thrown to the ground.Vlad's shitty animations make it so anything that throws people around gives him like 10 seconds of invulnerability.

>>585815491I fought a single battle against Counts in my 1,000+hours and hated it so much i just auto resolve against them lol
>>585815682I think a lot of Empire players forego crossbows because they think gunpowder is plain better. The idea that arrows can arc over an infantry line instead of getting screened simply doesn't occur to many of them.
Wow Enticity sweep, i'm shocked!! Shocked I tell you!!

What new and exciting ways will ca flop in trying to make 40k mp a thing
what's with the shills defending CA here? They are one of the worst of the worst when it comes to unscrupulous development companies and have been for over 16 years now. Probably some of you don't think having an actual nonce on their payroll to shill their half baked products is a big deal. Probably because you're wanking off over the lolicon shit, too. Fucking paedos.
i just hope 40k launches and is a good game, then CA can go all out of businessmodders will pick up and add all other factions later
why do devs focus so much on multiplayer and prioritise it when 90%+ players don't give a shit about it?
>>585817418>anything that ca makes>goodLMAO!
>>585817242Instead of featuring text boxes containing lore and gameplay tips, all loading screens in campaign and custom battles will feature global, regional, and local leaderboards.

>>585818165But they're the ones paying out their asses to organize this event
ALL FEAR THE PIRATE KING
>>585818494Nuh uh
>>585818165since when is esports profitable?
This would be one of the most disgusting maps for ranged armies if it wasn't for the trees
>>585817379I like the videogame
>dragon>is a wyrmDumbass
I learned this from Legend. The unkillable bloodletter summon. Such a god unit.
>>585819550nice argument https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uef1bEadKsunfortunately you have been depicted as a crying zoomer wojakit is so over for you
>>585819550Which wyrm are u bitching about? The frost or mer
>>585818415The idea is for lots of companies to sponsor and to pay to advertise at esports events and then they'll make a lot of money due to the large crowd... I know, what a bunch of retards.
>>585819413>I like the videogameso do people offering constructive criticism
>>585820303>constructive
Does warhammer have other wyrms besides Forst and Mer?.. hm.. Maybe in some old lore I dunno know.
Picked it up this turn, already lvl 3.
>>585820447Shard Dragons are Wyrms, Dread maws might count .
nvm, it's lvl 4..
>>585817920He cute
>is a Von Carstein>doesn't have Von Carstein unitsGive him Drakenhof Templars you dirt-chewing l*ndlubbers >>>:^(
>>585821223That's his deadname don't call him that.
>>585820967The Lexicanum and quoted Monstrous Arcanum list your shard dragon as dragon so I don't think that's a wyrm.. just a lesser dragon it says.With dread maws I don't even fucking know what they are, kek. Is it ever said what they belong to? If anything?
>>585821223Vampire Coast should get a Bashiva style DLC with a new lord and a few extra units
>>585817581Because all lives matter, bigot.
Confederating Ghorst still should make him a pain in the ass with zombie stacks right?
>>585782078Probably the most fascinating thing about technology is how much of the things we think of as modern were known about for hundreds, if not in some cases thousands, of years prior, but just weren't practical because their society could not support the supply and manufacturing chains that they require. It makes you wonder if industrialization, fire, or the first spear was the most important development in human history.
Oh nice, I can finally recruit more than just bloodletter iinto Skarbrand.
>>585817581can't say for all devs because every situation is different, but in CA's case i think it's probably because the small subset of people that play multiplayer include the like all of the people who make regular videos about their games, and they use those people for a lot of their free marketing. that, or just a company culture that wants to try to cultivate both parts of the game
>>585822127Most of his buffs to Zombies come from Ghorst's skill tree. You'll only miss out on zombies doing Poison damage, iirc. Poison zombies is his faction effect.
>>585822127you don't get>+10% casualty replenishment>poison for zombies, skeletons>zombie summons on corpse carts/mortis enginesbut you get everything else he had. not having poison on zombies is actually really big because it helps a lot with making zombies unkillable, but the rest is whatever
>tfw Zhao Ming is peak>tfw Yuan Bo is mechanically busted>tfw Miao Ying is my wife>tfw Bashiva is a litter shitterI don't know what faction to pickFor some variety I moved the Changeling to Cathay for more Chian Chi shenanigans, how do you ACTUALLY kill off this faction
Karl now yells>you will find no sucker here
>>585821573>Is it ever said what they belong to?According to WFRP book, they have some possible ties to Khuresh
>>585823483is that why the empire hates vampires
>>585824029I saw that mentioned too but they don't rly confirm it. Oh well.
>I will run you over with this cartkek
casket of souls should've be a mount for liche priests
anyone watching the tournament? Turin actually looks like a fairly normal bloke. He's always seemed like the most normal of all the WH3 people.
>>585815491>but they have 3 heroes who simply dont dieThis is exactly why Warhammer, 3K, Troy all sucked shit. Hero faggot bullshit made for zoomers. Random arbitrary tank armor numbers that were pulled out of some intern's ass making army composition and strategy irrelevant when the enemy could just spawn with better RPG loot and you're fucked. I wish there was a way to turn off heroes entirely and just have it play out as a traditional TW game of units and battle experience.
>>585825515>menu music and no SFX
>40k has bodyguardsSo when they inevitably do primarch DLC do you expect>Primarch has tiny bodyguardsor>Primarch is a single entity
>>585827545Lords and Heroes are single entities like WH3 so the Primarch will be alone by default. The part that's different is that they can optionally be embedded within other units like in Dawn of War.So the answer is both.
>>585812197I FUCKING KNEW IT!EVER SINCE THAT TUB OF UNKEMPT LARD WORE SHORTS TO A FUCKING INTERVIEW I KNEW THAT CUNT WAS SOME KIND OF DERANGED SICKFUCK. HIS BEARD HIS HAIRCUT HIS DEFORMED FACE FROM BEING FAT ALL HIS LIFE. HIS SLAVISH ADORATION FOR CA AND ALL HIS RETARDED SOIJACKING ON HIS VIDEOS THAT YOUTUBE WONT FUCK OFF FROM MY FEED.
>>585812197I don't even care about Complete Edition. I just love seeing CA get what they deserve.
cheatbros... what is that in the bottom left corner on the CA stream??
>>585828137They have the meow Ying corruption mod installed I heard
>want to play skrag>remember his start pos>don't play skrag
>>585828858What's your thought pattern? I'm curious about the kind of person that loads up Warhammer 3 with the intention of playing Skrag.
>>585829012i like gorgers
>>585829108mhm mhm okay and why don't you like Skrag's start position? It's far better than 'Greasus Goldtooth the shockingly boring due to 25 turns of mirror matches'.
>>585820447https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Leech_Wyrm
>>585827545Primarchs will be exceptions and sole units like StompaCalgar will be with bodyguard>>585827953>they can optionally be embedded within other units like in Dawn of War.HQs are by default with bodyguard. You can simply customize/change bodyguard
>>585829527it's just a long drawn out wasteland of d*arves and orksi also don't like how the starting province i spread out so you have to spend multiple turns taking that garbage
>turn 70 as thorgrimm>have 30 armies but still make 90k per turnwow deeps are op wtf
>>585812197Loremaster of Chadek will never be defeated. All who curse him will be cursed themselves!
There's an excerpt from a book where guilliman goes apeshit on chaos marines and the custodes assigned to guard him goes "we're supposed to protect this guy? Lol"
>>585810205Do not insult THE PERSONIFICATION OF RAW! He is SUBORDINATE ONRY TO DRAGONS!
These post-match interviews are so awkward...
>>585830958"Guilliman gets surprise attacked by Chaos marines and goes insaneo style" happens surprisingly often.
>>585817581I think the simplest answer is they don't have enough resources to be managing different versions of the game. They can't even keep the different campaign difficulties balanced. They're probably stretched thin.>>585822572Also this. MP fags are the face of the game and the ones making the videos, campaign videos are not very popular.
>>585830958>can kill generic csm>jobs to Fulgrim and has to be revived by Eldar whore>dies to Mortarion soon after being healed and has to be saved by Emps to not die>has to run away from Silent King, being saved by Eldar againsuffer not ultrasmurf propaganda
>>585825490that would make khatep hilariously powerful. he already starts in a position to mass produce the scrolls of neffera items that give infinite winds of magic
>>585817581Have you seen this tournament? It's in a dank basement with 20 in-person seats and the casters appear to be doing it for the love of the game. You can complain at CA for a lot of things but over-investing in esports isn't one of them, atleast until we see 40k in it's entirety and whether or not the addition of console releases will affect the amount of investment, perhaps if 40k is a multi-platform success they will start officially supporting it via competitive circuits or whatever but as of now CA listen to mpfags for balancing help and not much else.
>>585832243he's one of the weakest primarchs (on paper), but he's still a primarch, he'd wipe the floor with any random csm
When are they bringing back my man, Corvus Corax.

>>585835521Tbh I mostly agree, but still, I think Corvus Corax was very likable and more importantly, I want to see sick ass fucking pseudo-daemon form as a mini.
