My friends shilled this game to me hard for years and I finally picked it up on sale. It's downloading now but I have third world internet for the time being so it's going to take a while.

What am I in for? I was told to also buy for the first two games because I guess I get the playable factions from them in the third game too? Is the DLC for the first two games the same? Is any of the DLC worth it?

I've never played a Total War game before.

It's insanely easy because the AI can only charge directly at you.

multiplayer god reporting in

Been a while since I last played this game.
Is the tutorial still bugged and softlocks you if you have tutorial notifications turned on?`

Any new fun mods? The Miao Ying one was great.

>>713891130 (OP)
Don't buy the DLC
Just use creamapi

Yes you must make an account
And my advice is to do the tutorial (I suppose or just watch a YT faggot) either way both are shit imo but do one of them at least

Make sure it's on a fucking SSD otherwise you will rape yourself with how slow it loads between battles

don't fall for the memes in Immortal Empires and go with the empire. Either stick with Tyrion for high elves, Cathay or Grimgor Ironhead if you want a 'beat the shit out of everything' playstyle

Golgfag is a decent lord for just fucking around, since you can get into consequence free fights and fuck off again.
Once you’ve dumped a few camps around the world, you can bounce between stages and drown in money

>>713893083
Not him, but thank you very much for posting that link. I’ve been looking for CreamAPI since buying the game, but Google searches are obviously going to get me bricked.

>>713893612
From what I know to even get to IE, you still need to own WH1 and WH2 but creamapi unlocks everything else including shit like 'make an account with them to get 'free' units'

>buy the first two games for dlc
no need. go to cs. rin. ru, make an account, and go to their total war warhammer 3 thread, there you'll find the downloads that enable the dlc. I started playing it recently and its pretty fun, but I definetly reccomend playing the tutorial campaign first, there's a lot of things to know.
>>713892350
we must be playing different games because the campaign ai constantly charges their calvalry in and out of combat, kites their units and actively flanks and surrounds my units.

Kek remember when Karl Franz was the recommended noob campaign? What is it now? I'm assuming it's still Tyrion

>>713891130 (OP)
https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Total_War:_WARHAMMER this has a lot of good info on it, bizarrely it has more info than any other wiki I could find for this game.

>>713895704
Tyrion ad Miao ying are the two I remember

>>713895704
Anon, Karl is STILL recommended as a first campaign alongside Tyrion and Miao Ying.

Do warsleds or missiles chariots have any use

Any tips for empire building? I've tried lizardman and tzeentch campaigns so far and despite making as many money go up buildings in my settlements as possible, I'm always barely scraping together profit while my neighbors are amassing huge armies. Should I be prioritizing leveling up the capitol building instead? I've also mostly been occupying every territory I can, don't know if that's the correct move

>>713893707
>From what I know to even get to IE
immortal empires is available for anyone who owns warhammer 3, retard-kun...

>>713900731
lizardmen enjoyer here. its okay to run a negative economy in the first ~45 turns if you've got armies gobbling up territory and are fighting battles every turn.
continue putting the money building in every settlement. use the Rite Of Primeval Glory to get a juiced-up 2nd/3rd army. close warfronts by steamrolling one faction at a time. sell settlements you don't want to protect for boatloads of easy cash. your profits will begin to balloon as you research technologies.

>>713898959
depends on the statline, lighter missile chariots like goblin wolf chariots are more for speedy harassment, stuff like warsleds are a lot heavier and can charge into melee for more damage but make sure they don't stay in there for too long, they're still chariots and want to be charging all the time

>>713900731
>sell off wars to distant factions (with discretion, make sure they aren't too close) for more money. the old world is the best for this as chorfs/cathay send caravans all over and it's easy to declare war on minor factions for cash
>sell unwanted territory for money and diplomatic capital, the AI really values military recruitment buildings, a tier 1 minor settlement with only basic military recruitment can fetch ~100 bartering value in diplomacy, which translates to easy alliances and/or a fuckton of gold

>>713901640
to be clear, when i say "unwanted" think things like bad climates or settlements not relevant to your race, like non-dwarf or non-empire settlements
also sack when you can, a tier 3 capital sacked can fetch you over 10000 gold, which you can easily pump back into your own lands, which kind of leads into a fun playstyle i call the "protection racket"
>sack major cities then occupy and repair, you'll still make a profit
>sell them off to who you stole from for peace, NAPs and more money
>they'll still hate you so they'll break it later but it gives plenty of time to direct forces to other problems, before you come back and finish them off for good or just repeat the cycle

>>713901171
>>713901640
>>713901942
thanks lads, I've been trying to hold onto every settlement, I'll try selling and flipping them

>>713903205
one more thing, some racial economies lean more towards sacking, pilfering and fight money, general rule of thumb is that if their blue line lord skills include bonus income from sacking or winning fights (greenskins, skaven, tomb kings) then the majority of your money is going to come from fighting (some exceptions like chorfs and ogres, they have a strong economy and like fight money but that's because they work on an entirely different system of growth and resources) doesn't mean you should neglect income buildings since you need to stay liquid and not go into bankruptcy
alternatively, more "civilized" races like grand cathay and the empire provide means of stacking income from trade tariffs, which adds up with enough provinces/buildings

>>713892565
fuck off turin

>>713894826
Cope harder, lmao. The "good sites" never last because they get overrun by tourists who cry whenever someone says something mean or posts a spicy jpeg. If you're here, you're already part of the rot.

>>713892350
Try playing N'Kari without the DLC - it's easy because you play broken stuff like Archaon and Tamurkhan
