Thanquol soon, friends!

December will be when CA unveils:
A new historical Total War game
A new fantasy Total War game
A highly anticipated Warhammer 3 DLC

Age of Sigmar is so zogged man.
Holy shit I just looked at some of GW's "trailers" for it and fuuuuuuck. It's peak esg goyslop.

BUT
I'm starting to have the schizo theory that it's like a sacrificial lamb to appease bigjew. Like they shove most of their faggy shit in their to leave the rest relatively untainted. Yeah, the whole VagCustodes thing and their STRONGWAMEN animation series have been obnoxious, but mostly it's contained to AgeOfTranzmar.

>>527210282
>A new historical Total War game
Medieval 2 remaster.

>A new fantasy Total War game
Sure as long as it is a mobile game.

>A highly anticipated Warhammer 3 DLC
Define 'highly anticipated'. You mean Dogs of War?

any chink experts here that can tell me if "shugengans" are chinese or japanese?

>>527210606
what? shugengans arent a real life thing

December...

>>527209898
That's because Cathay peasants are militarized, Bretonnian peasants are just picked up from the farms as they were. Why are we even talking about peasants? Do you really think that average Chink wanks his ego while watching Cathay peasants as opposed to higher rank military and how grand the buildings are? Do you think that average eurocrusaderfag wanks his ego while watching peasants mobs as opposed to knights doing glorious charges in front of magnificent white castles? Why do you think people play those factions? For peasants? Give me a break.

>>527210713
aren't they named after a real thing? I swear I saw it in another game before.

On the bright side this at least means that CA is showing off Alien: Isolation sequel soon because that is their next game that is releasing in Quarter 3 of next year.

Fellas be honest, the new Historical Total War game is going to be slop to placate the autists, right?

I don't want CA wasting time on shitty projects after Hyenas [JOIN THE -ACK]. Just focus on 40k please, thanks.

>>527210282
>mfw they announce TW: Empire 2, TW: Age of Sigmar and yet another Chaos-centric focused DLC

>>527211276
>Fellas be honest, the new Historical Total War game is going to be slop to placate the autists, right?
It is going to be a remaster to make some quick bucks to fund whatever the next total war is.

>DUDE TW40K IS GOING TO BE SHOWN AT SKULLS
>skulls passes by, no announcement
>.......
>DUDE TW40K IS GOING TO BE SHOWN IN DECEMBER

>>527211203
>Do you think the average eurocrusaderfag wanks while watching peasant mobs
Peasants standing up to horrors beyond imagination is pure kino.

luthor harkon will jump you irl

>>527211551
I think that we will smell him coming.

>>527211203
>w-who cares about peasants anyways
They set the tone of the fucking faction, and if you can't tell the difference in how Bretonnian peasants set the tone of their faction vs how Cathay peasants set the tone of their faction you're actually retarded, but thanks for the concession by pulling out an actual "d-doesn't count" argument. Like I said, GW outright saying "grimness" does not align with Chinese design language according to their Chinese "sensitivity team" tells you all you need to know and you have no counter for GW admitting that.

>>527211490
Not as much when they break after a couple of seconds due to terror routing...

>>527211430
nope.

>dude Dawn of War is going to be shown at skulls
>skulls passes by, Dawn of War is shown exactly as planned
>dude TW40k is going to be shown in December
>December comes and the game is announced

100% accuracy rate if you actually read the thread

The historical game will be warhammer 40k, it's history that hasn't happened yet

>>527211682
Actually us 40k skeptics were the ones who said it was just going to be DoW because we believed TW 40k doesn't exist, you retards were coping until the day of and even afterwards you guys were coping because Valrak said 40k is actually going to be revealed in June around the 25th anniversary (lol). Now you fags have very conveniently pushed it to December next.

>>527211595
Cathay peasant units can be straight up given to Ogres as food. I think its pretty fucking grim.

Fuc I can't wait for 6 months of looping the same speculations over and over

>>527211595
I forgot that people buy figurines and dlcs because of T1 units and not big monsters or super elite champion units. Lmao.

The Historical Game is:

>Total War: Chosen
>a total war game about uniting the tribes of Judea

How do we get CA to fix Markus and Alith Anar?
Markus
>awful and outdated campaing mechanic
>not lore-friendly start or campaign
>if he decides to somehow travel back to The Empire and colonize some land, he gets the Elector Count mechanic
>Huntsmen General and Markus are severely outclassed by other ranged characters and even ranged characters in their own faction (Engineer lords/heroes)
>most of the units added are either memes that eventually got buffed to serviceable (War Wagons), essential unit for early game/mid game gated by paid DLC (Archer) and again outclassed by better units (Huntsmen)
>Markus was heavily nerfed because MPfags cant handle range being strong unless its ok with them like Sisters of Twilight
Alith Anar
>hard start with questionable starting army (Eagle? Really? Against a heavily armored faction?)
>mechanics are nerfed so Shadow Stalkers (his campaign unique unit) are only on the samelevel of Sisters of Averlorn with his buffs rather than letting them shine on his campaign as the premiere unit to outshine them for him
>Nerfed because of the same MPfag issue that Markus had
>his asassination mechanic is outdated and worse than the other merc/target mechanics more recently added
>has no attrition to all the snow area where the Druchii reside despite the whole point in his campaign is to destroy them
Seriously sucks how theyre so shafted
>inb4 just use cheats
No im not a fag, CA needs to fix their own problems, not let fans who add unbalanced shit to do their job.

>>527211430
let's be real, that's just /tg/ secondaries coping
everybody knows it'll be Star Wars, every major gaming outlet reported on that fact
unlike 40k Star Wars is actually popular with mainstream audiences with extremely popular movies, tv shows and games, 40k simply has none of that

>>527211958
Unfortunately the GW people who designed the faction put out an interview explicitly disagreeing with you, but hey, don't let that basic fact get you down.

>Oh boy, time to siege Skavenblight again!

>>527211918
NTA. Valrak said multiple times that 40k will be anounced later this year but he has hopium hopes for it to be announced earlier during skulls or anniversary event but he wouldn't bet money on it. What he heard vs what he hopes type of situation here. Anons just ran with what he hopes.

>>527212319
>not pictured: the incoming doomrocket

>>527212187
Yes they are trying to sell their toys to a new market that wants to be sucked off. If i cared about TTshit, i would give GW 2 years to pander as much as they want. After that i would expect some defeats and flaws.

>>527212049
People pretty much do buy Shadows of Change for Kislevite Warriors and Akshina Ambushers lmao, barely anyone cares about the Frost Wyrm, The Things in the Woods or the Incarnate Elemental of Beasts.

>>527210606
>>527211234
It comes from Shugenja, which is a japanese thing.

>>527210606
They're from Laos

>CHARGE MEN
>ONWARD INTO THE INFINITE GREEN BULLSHIT

>>527212434
I would piss and shit my pants. Their uncatchable warlock engineer is already at like 600 kills.

>>527212482
This, even though they nerfed Akshina Ambushers rather than giving them a tier/price increase, Kislevite Warriors makes Kislev's campaign bearable like Empire Archers do when you have a starting barracks

>>527212496
>>527212568
so their cultural sensitivity team that was supposed to keep them from confusing chinese and japanese things weren't actually doing their jobs? what about crowmen? I know japan has tengu but is there a chinese version?

the announcement will actually be Total War: Rome 3
source: I just made it up.

>>527212482
That's because Kislev was in the completely opposite situation, they started with super strong units already in the game, they terribly lacked something cheap early unless you want to recruit 19 kossars forever. For the longest time Kislev had no economy. Cathay on the other hand had much better balanced early infantry due to Jade units which Cathay's economy allows to recruit in dozens.

>>527212080
alith anar is fine
ambush attack and underway stance for high elves is insanely powerful and makes up for it

>>527212945
Imagine getting paid 80k a year to be culturally sensitive.

>>527212945
The "Cultural Sensitivity Team" was actually hired by Games Workshop and collaborated with Games Workshop, CA's work on Cathay didn't have that

>>527213027
good question

>>527212080
Are you really bitching about an ambush stance HE faction? Holy shit wtf is wrong with you?

>one (1) DLC this whole year
oh no no no no no warhammerbros

>>527213075
So people do in fact care about T1 units and not big monsters depending on the circumstance, yes, and they are an important part of a faction's identity.

>>527213389
Opens the door for 3 next year.

>>527213389
Bretonnia and Ligger reworks will save wh3.

>>527213386
>never mention ambush stance which is clearly strong
>"why you think ambush is bad?!?"
Retard

>>527213548
Thanquol alone can salvage this disaster of a game

>>527213548
If Neferata is the third faction it will redeem this shit year.

thoughts?

>>527213703
Nigger you are implying Aleaf is somehow hard to play. Bitching about eagle, bitching aboutfucking Shadow Stalkers, wanting attrition immunity to snow.

Fucking get a grip. He is better than everyone around him. Putting him into same class as Markus is retarded.

>>527214182
What is there to think, it's a cut down map of the Cathay we have in game.

>>527214182
Pretty cool. Cathay part is actually my dfavourite part of the map in the game.

>>527213469
Exception proves the rule, yes.

>>527213220
it sounds like ca didn't make anything original for cathay though, they just took the designs gw gave them and turned them into game units.

>>527213386
ambushing is cheating and you're not allowed to do it

>>527214182
>Cathay
lmao

Cathay will break back into the most played factions only if they release Yin Yin and she's hot, if not lmao

>>527214182
cathay is my favourite part of the map just because it's so secure
you have lots of settlements with decent amount of resources and ports
and there are only a few chokepoints you really need to hold while you build up the territory and armies, very secure
make it a point to conquer and build it up in every campaign i do

>>527214936
>only if they release Yin Yin
Anon... ET is almost here... its ogre

>>527214936
Imagine Yin-Yin looking like Cylostra. What a glorious shit show that would create. One can only hope.

>>527214182
Just confused why they moved Li Dao out of his capital into the Mountains of Heaven. I know Yuan Bo got moved south because their dad is active in that time period and ruling the empire so Yuan Bo had to move.

Mattpat will be a LL in Total War: Hawk Tuah!?

>>527215376
No they are where they supposed to be. YB is in central provinces, LD is in south. South part is not detailed yet.

>>527214936
I'm going to call GW, convince them I'm part of the cultural sensitivity team and tell them the chinks will get super mad if Yin-Yin isn't a cure ditzy tomboy pirate queen

>>527214182
>Central provinces and imperial provinces separated.
>Li Dao in the mountains ranger instead in his capital to the east. For comparison the temple of elemental winds northeast of him is the landmark that is in Balthazar Gelt's city in immortal empires.
So does this basically confirm that Li Dao likes to hang out in the mountains like Shaolin Monks in real life? Why is he so far west of his capital which is on the map?

>>527214267
>hard start = hard to play
Didnt say this, it is objectively a harder start because he has no friends around him and thats a fact
>bitching about eagle
He used to have a moon dragon and thats cooler + eagle doesnt have enough AP
>bitching about Shadow Stalkers
They should be stronger but only for his campaign
>wanting attrition immunity to snow
Thats just common sense for any one near those snowy areas, This is coming from someone thats played both their campaigns on VH/VH, faggot. He needs improvements and to be back to how he used to be before nerfs in WH2, kys.

>NO SURRENDER!

>>527214182
What the fuck did they do to the South? In-game Fu-Hung the capital of Li Dao is directly on the border of Ind and Khuresh on the Great Canal and southeast of the temple of elemental winds. In this map Fu-Hung is directly north of the temple of elemental winds. Also Li Dao is in the mountains of heaven in this map.

https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Fu-Hung

https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Broken_Lands_of_Tian_Li

>>527216680
I just noticed the map also has Broken Lands of Tian Li to the west of the elemental temple now too. Fu-Hung and elemental temple aren't even in that region now. What in the actual fuck?

>>527216680
>warhammer fluff is an evershifting mess as gws whims change
this should not surprise anyone

>>527214182
>>527216680
Does this mean they have to open up Ind now because gamesworkshop's map looks drastically different to the southern provinces in immortal empires?

>>527216680
Slann continental plate moving shenanigans.

>>527215801
>>527215376
Map is very accurate to game.
Banners' location doesnt mean anything. They are just on the province. Wei-Jin is the capital and controls the Imperial Province, Yuan's capital is Shang wu etc.

Li Dao probably going to start deep in Ind. And eventually going to kill western invader pig Gelt.

>>527217368
Those maps don't match at all. Click on the nomads banner in the from the one second to left that is the temple of elemental winds then southeast of that is the capital. The capital is north of the the temple in the gamesworkshop map. Also in immortal empires those two are part of the broken lands of tian li but the gamesworkshop map says it is far west of those two cities.

I like the power of friendships.In Total War Warhammer 3 which races have friendships among units of the same type.And you don't have to be willing to sacrifice your life in order for a comrad to have a friendship you just got to be buddies who enjoy Victory together and celebrating together.

>>527214182
Looks a bit empty

>>527217940
Yuan Bo can borrow armies from neutral factions.

:/

>>527217368
Blue is the temple of elemental winds. Black is Fu-Hung. Green is where Monkey King's city is suppose to be located. They drastically changed the map. Not even remotely similar.

>>527217368
>And eventually going to kill western invader pig Gelt.
Chang cope, Gelt consistently allies with Zhao and gets his own slice of Cathay.

>>527217714
Well yeah cities obviously wont match. We dont have that big fucking lake bottom of Shang-wu. But province shapes are the same because of the rivers.

I think we should be more like the Chinks and downvote and implode over everything we dislike.
It gets results and it's based.
I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

>>527218676
>We dont have that big fucking lake bottom of Shang-wu
Another reason why the maps are drastically different. They completely redid the south.

>>527218762
Technically, Hyenas did put a dent into capitalism.

>>527218182
>:/
Hello l*ddit!

>>527218876
there is a good chance of CA remaking that part when they open the Ind/Khuresh. Mountains there take lots of space for no reason. They already carved up mountains before for Kislev.

I'm hopefull.

>>527218762
/twg/ are huge cucks
everytime the fanbase got something done redditCHADS led the way while /twg/ seethed in the corner

>>527218762
the masses are slowly discovering the strengths of whole process people's democracy
may total war benefit from such lessons

Is it worth getting the slayer lords/heroes?
I got the DLC but idk what they're good for

chinks crying got 3k's dlc cancelled and then the sequel cancelled, what exactly have they gotten done again?

>>527219512
>Is it worth getting the slayer lords/heroes?
Yes, if you are playing Umgrim.

>I got the DLC but idk what they're good for
They are good for Umgrim's faction and that is it because his faction bonuses.

>>527219512
Slayer heroes give replenishment.
Slayer lords start with siege attacker and they buff slayer units. They also annihilate anything large.

Look up their skill line here.

>leaks say CA had a WW1 TW in development that they had to scrap because they couldn't get it to work

But you have faith that they can make 40k work?

>>527220479
I don't know if they can handle the shittiness of the 40k fanbase
I certainly don't want to

>>527220479
40kiddies will buy any slop. CA knew they couldnt disrespect WW1 with their style of gameplay.

>>527220479
>The same leak that said a SW TT was being made and was the absolute flagship
lol lmao

Holy fuck guys I just took an absolutely amazing shit, what LL should I play for this feeling?

If I just ignore the crashing to desktop long enough will the game eventually "get over it" and start working properly with over 100 mods

>>527221094
Khalida or Markus
They are amazingly shit

I prefer TW40k over the Scifi alternative people are asking for.

Fuck Star Wars slop.

>>527221094

for shame

Total War: Titan A.E.

10 more years of Warhammer Fantasy

>>527221454
(Or Epidimius I didn't pick the wrong screenshot shut the fuck up)

>>527221415
Realistically 40k is the only one that has enough races and factions for them to milk with DLC

>Saurus are the gigachads of Warhammer.
>Only 2/100+ of them are LL options
Where's Chakax? Lizardmen deserve 8 LL like Warriors of Chaos and soon High Elves

>>527221454
I think you posted the wrong screenshot bro
that's Epidemius

>>527221415
Star Wars would be infinitely better and it's not even a contest.

>>527221863
>gigachads
>literal fucking mindless meatshields for slann
lmao?

I hope the histfag game is Medieval 3 because the mechanics of early modern warfare is way too hard for someone as incompetent as CA to implement properly

>>527222062
>>527222062
>literal fucking mindless meatshields for slann
Nope

>>527222131
Same desu
The absolute latest CA is fit to adapt is like late 1800s

>>527222062

>>527221919
SHUT UP READ >>527221596 EPIDIMIUS WORKS TOO I'M NOT RETARDED I'M NOT

>>527222185
>>527222251
*drops moon on you*

>>527222131
Its going to be Med2 rework with better controls and improved AI.

I just ate six burgers, what LL should I play for this feel?

>>527222306
You're mighty anxious about being considered retarded though anon.

lmao liggers seething

>>527222471
depends on what kind of burgers
white castle: tretch
mcdonald's: Throt

>>527222471
Greasus the shockingly obese.

>wanna play nakai
>look up his lore
>this blurb is basically all there is
>not even official artwork of him
why did they make him a lord before other characters

>middle eastern niggas are getting total war before we do
truly it is over

>>527222743
What?
>*Israel attacks homes of Iranian government workers and officials in pre-emptive attack, killing multiple families*
>*this comes a day after Trump warned Israel to "calm down with Iranian threats"

Jesus christ, which campaign fits this the best?

>>527222693
oops
seriously he's barely above a background character

>>527222693
Fills a krox niche

>>527222693
gameplay > lore
Nakai fits a niche as a koxigor lord, plus an excuse to give lizards horde gameplay
nevermind the fact that it took them until wh3 to get it right

>>527222743

>>527222869
Alith Anar, his preemptive war in Naggaroth protects Ulthuan from druchi chimpouts

>>527220479
WWI couldn't work because it's trench warfare, the real issue with TWW40k is that the game will be blue gunmanii vs red gunmanii so anyone who isn't retarded(read a w40k fan) will drop it after a week and their attempts as DLCs will bomb so hard they will go back to making DLC for TWW or Rome2.

>Game keeps freezing on 65th faction
Okay, who has the 200 black arks?

>>527222743
OPTION 1 OPTION 1 NOT AGAIN OPTION 1

>>527223618
I'd accept some Araby qts if they promised to marry Druchii bois, fuck the chaos dwarfs.

Nuke israel already, I'm tired of all these middle eastern wars that drive hordes into Europe

>all this /pol/ posting
Remember the last the time? Nothing happened. Nothing ever happens.

>>527210606
Warhammer Shugengans come from the book "Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos" released in 2011 and considering back then it was still kinda the old GW not really caring about minorties and representation stuff there is good chance the name really come from Japanese "shugenja"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shugend%C5%8D

>>527223985
well i will tell you what happened
the old world dev bloated the map so much it became unplayable because the game just slows down to a crawl and then made a lite version without the chaos dwarfs
another great thing ruined by hubris and im fucking mad

>>527212151
Lol please.
Maybe 5 or 6 years ago sure. But the awful movies, tv shows (except for andor and the mandalorian, which they ran into the ground) and games, star wars has been over saturated, stale, and people are tired of it. 40k meanwhile is coming hot off a successful mainstream game (space marine 2) and an upcoming Amazon series. 40ks time is now, and they'd be fools not to take advantage of that.

>>527223908
*ahem*

sister, this is total woke general.

*barely holding it together, convulsing violently*

you can't say things like that. What I think you mean is thus:

heh, doom-rocket the badlands already. haha. I'm tired of all these, hehe, ogre migrations that drive "hordes" into "the Empire", heh.

*cums*

>>527214182
>leave Monke and Yin-Yin out of the map
Cathay Arcane Journal II SOON

>>527224814
They have other screenshots of Monkey on the map in other blogs. He just has the hero icon instead of a lord icon.

>>527222693
>>527222918

>>527224814
Monkey King IS on the map. He is a hero.

>>527224486
it took ca 6 years to make warhammer 3

>>527224814
>Gamesworkshop says there is a 5 playable tabletop lords
>4 siblings shown plus the dad
>Says there is 3 heroes for Cathay
Yin-Yin is going to be a hero in tabletop just like Monkey King. I guarantee it.

>>527225772
>Yin-Yin is going to be a hero
this would solve a lot of problems fitting her into the remaining dlcs

>>527223908
Just don't let them in ???

>>527225772
Monkey might be a hero but there is no way YinYin is a hero. They all hold the same hierarchical power(on paper). And again coloured directions are very important for China.

I will bet any amount of money right now that the two total war games in December are remasters of historical games. Probably Shogun Total War for the 25th anniversary and Medieval Total War 2. Unless Feral interactive is making another total war mobile game.

>>527220479
Leak from people proved to be lying, yeah

>>527222918
>>527222693

>>527226172
Total War: Rome REMASTERED was made by Feral Interactive by the way.

>>527224423
is there a way to gaslight gw into changing it if I write them an email complaining?

It's fine for writers to take a job for the paycheck and not give 100% but Gamesworkshop writers come off as brain damaged.

>Rats(tm) had really big rat with no name and he fought NAMEDCHARACTER(tm) and the battle was really friken close, trust me, but NAMEDCHARACTER(tm) just baaaarely won and slept for a bit and was fine and nothing changed at all anywhere and it was like it never happened the end.

What is the point of writing this? Why make me read it? Am I supposed to go out and buy a Nakai toy because he killed a nameless rat and fell into a coma? Is it supposed to communicate the rats are really strong because they made a lizard fall unconscious for a bit? This is actually worse than AI. It's a giant paragraph that's entirely meaningless.

I can only imagine Games Workshops success stems from discovering some psychological exploit in the brains of the bottom 1% of society.

Anyone who owns one (1) gram of GW(tm) plastic should be shot in the fucking head. Shittiest fictional universe of all time.

>>527229376
>and was fine and nothing changed at all anywhere and it was like it never happened the end.
This basically sums up all warhammer and 40k lore until very recently thoughbeit
Because it is at its core a tabletop universe you it has to exist in relative stasis.
Hell the Old World re-release of fantasy only got around this by setting itself during a time way before "present" that people actually cared about.
>This is actually worse than AI
Not really, you haven't read much AI generated fiction if you believe that. AI writing is a very special breed of soulless, even after being utterly jailbroken.

>>527231589

i have not played warhammer iii yet and only here because the steam spam. when is tides of torment releasing?

damn that is a lot of important characters still not. i am here because of the 25th anniversary news that was spammed in steam. might pick up warhammer iii.

>>527232162

Naieth is the WElf quest giver but there's already a mod for her as LL

How many people do you reckon are working on TWW3 DLC right now? 3?

>>527233207
Didnt someone at CA let slip that it was around 20?

>>527210374
Wait till you see fantasy.

>>527229376
iirc the text is from the Skaven pov, so it's more like "see our generic beasts are almost good enoug to kill their characters!"

>>527210374
I really hope we get TW 40K. Age of shitmar is pure slop. Who the fuck enjoys this?

>>527232634
>>Second most important Chaos character after Archaeon on the list.
kek absolutely not

>>527233759
Nice 40k pic

>>527234515
that's age of shitmar

>>527233759
That's just usual whfb slop.

>>527233759
I don't know how someone enjoys WHFB either. You've got that Demigryph Knight on the left, Skaven on the right, and no gameplay balance in sight. All it's missing are the giant floating towers and you get 8ed art.

>>527234673
yeah the art is so cluttered. at least the later whfb slop in >>527233759 with the gelt masks spaces it out

>>527234673
Nobody enjoys it. They just pay geedubs money out of sunken cost.

>>527234862
I thought I saw an orc or skaven then I realized that was a horse then there's other orcs beside it. Do you have a higher resolution? Actually, no, I doubt it would help.

>>527234862
It's the uncanny valley middle ground. Early and later art is less cluttered.

>>527235005
I thought I saw a Beastman head.

>>527234879
I maybe used to but 7ed was imbalanced trash with Daemons and 8ed was all around bad.

>>527229376
all of the old "lore" for both fantasy and 40k was basically just the developers playing games with each other and then writing down what happened as official backstory. they weren't expecting dweebs to be studying it like the bible and making 4 hour long video essays about it. the expectation was that you would just be taking it as an example to make your own characters based on your own games with your bros. this black library marvelslop mentality only exists now because people get into the setting from books and loretubers instead of playing the game.

>>527232034
>>527232762
Naieth is only the quest giver of the Sisters in TWW2

>527235289
>taking an interest in official lore is le... bad

>>527235101
Is that the mona lisa?

>>527235289
They also repeatedly contradicted or retconned each other. There's no consistency and it doesn't help you have multiple commissioned writers given minimum information including for different books written in the same series. It's chaotic.

>>527212945
The japanese Tengu came from the chinese "Tiangou " which is a heavenly canine. Eventually over time it just became known as a mythical flying creature. Which then was assumed to be a bird because birds fly, leading to the japanese Tengu.

>>527210606
I can't tell the difference between China and Japan. They're both repressed abusive cultures where gaslighting each other and fake smiles is the norm. I also can't tell the difference between Japan and UK so maybe that's just my problem.

We already have Warriors of Chaos or Norsca.

>>527235909
We can't squat Chaos Warriors. They sell and their lower model count but bigger figures are great for beginners. They are the Space Marines of Warhammer and doubtlessly inspired them. Brets can be squatted and are.

>>527235929
This sounds like some absurdly retarded mudcore setting that would make any existing GW property look logical.

>>527235929
>order has been pushed to the margins so they all wear furs and shit
Absolute garbage

>>527232034
I will buy Warhammer III if Boris playable. What is skill lines and faction effects? I can't find anything on Google.

>>527235929
>so they all wear furs and shit
Everyone shares one aesthetic and they forgot how to do ironwork? Don't they have Elves and Dwarfs?

>>527235929
That makes no sense. Chaos dresses either local or entirely based on how the Chaos Gods dress them. This means the Chaos Gods would need an aesthetic shift they never had in any Warhammer setting.

>>527236272
Low IQ or trolling?

>>527236367
I am LITERALLY looking at that right now. There is nothing on his faction effects.

>>527236442
he's playable in multiplayer. he's like karl but better.

>>527236456
Yeah, a Chaos victory is just continued infighting forever while they do the Great Game elsewhere. There's never getting too comfortable because dominating just means you start fighting your fellow Chaos followers even in a hypothetical only one Chaos God situation. They crave attention and try beating anything they can to get attention, including and especially each other. They compete with Skaven for infighting.

>>527235863
Depends on where you are. Where I am we've finally reclaimed retard so we're back to the actual western past time of openly insulting each other rather than beating around the bush.

>>527236695
Toddbringer's been in since Call of the Beastmen but you can't start with him in campaign, only confederating.
>>527236867
>They compete with Skaven for infighting.
Maybe more. Chaos has infighting ingrained into their system. Skaven have overpopulation and not enough supplies but Chaos infights for infighting's sake.

>>527236989
the fake smiling is a huge aspect of western "culture"

>>527237120
Where the fuck do you live where that's the case? I know bongland has stiff upper lip nonsense and all but in a lot of other places we're all about telling people we hate them openly. If you're a dude that is, women across all cultures seem to have mastered fake smiling.

>>527236998
Skaven would still hate everything including other Skaven. They're bitter and envious. But you're right that Chaos vs Chaos is inherent to Chaos.

>>527237249
All the more reason UK and Japan are the same.

>>527237249
I live in canada and moved here as a kid from east Europe I was repeatedly told to smile by my mother, since that's apparently what people do over here, or you appear "hostile." I still don't do it.

Fuck CA

I thought CA has already discussed how they dole out "points" for magic items and equipment in previous blogs. Particularly when fixing things for Wh3. None of the system the described about their magic items is news to me, after all, so I must've heard it from somewhere. Was it just that prior fixes were never implemented?

Didn't magic items fuse into other magic items of the same category at one point? So you'd fuse weapons for more weapons, armor for more armor, etc. That's why you could turn those useless WH1 items into decent stuff like Talismans of Preservation or Healing Potions. Or was that only a rumor that they had a higher drop rate for their category?

If I recruit Warrior Monks before turning to Christianity in Shogun 2 can I keep them or do they automatically disband? Also why did I post Matchlock Warrior Monks who are Ikko Ikki exclusive? Because they look cool.

>>527243886
Blood Knights sword and shield literally required no effort at all for them. They are just a weapon alt. Adding a new legendary character like Naieth would actually take work.

>>527245303
Been a long time since I played Shogun 2. Not sure if you lose them upon conversion.

How do I build WE armies?
I'm playing sisters atm and it seems that the hawk guys are good with their ability but idk what to do with the rest of the roster
So far I've just parked them in a forest, gone out and taken down the big hitters and then let them find me in the forest

>>527248323
If good; dryads, wild riders, deepwood kiting
If bad; eternal guard, tree-kin, glade guard with starfire

>>527248323
I like having 4 Hawk Riders so they can take out fast or flying targets with their abilities, and then having 1 Waystalker to lock down important targets, and then the rest is Waywatchers or Deepwood Scouts. With this army type there is basically nothing that can beat you as long as you're able to skirmish halfway decently.
Another thing to note is that you don't really want melee infantry UNLESS it's for an army that is strictly going to ambush, as if you do a melee infantry/archer army you'll find that they just get in the way of your skirmishing, and your archers will kill a lot of your own infantry too with friendly fire, as welves are generally low armour compared to the high damaged archers that will be shooting them in the back. Here's a basic army I am running right now that is practically unkillable, however you can absolutely deviate with 4-5 units of your choice in place of Waywatchers if you want, it just won't be as efficient but you don't really need max efficiency either.

>>527248323
Dryads with poison will carry you through 80% of the game as Drycha.
For Sisters pretty much max out hawk riders with a few tanky heroes on the ground.

This is the best experience I had with total war in 15 years.
What's your guys opinion on it?
Did a Bohemia and Firence run in 1448 and an ottoman and genoa run in 1348.
Current Austria in 1448 and next Milan probably.

>>527263021
My opinion is that I didn't even know this was a thing, looks like a pretty recent mod compared to most med 2 projects.
Does it have lots of history dumping like pic related? I loved Europa Barbarorum for that.

>>527263329
Yes, there is a lot. Also tied into the gameplay. Generals will become available, you have to pay off mercenaries or nobles etc rebel. New units become available and other stuff.
Try the 1448 campaign, it's more updated and thorough than the older one.
Biggest changes are the battle dynamics. Much better than vanilla, without the ultimate cavalry dominance of stainless steel.

>>527263715
Might check it, thanks for bringing it up.

The only problem this one has is the model for the Italian heir. There is a fix on their discord server.
Rule of thumb with med 2 mods, never load the auto save, always use quick save before you end the round. Auto save leads to problems in the long run.
This mod really rarely crashes. Twice in 250 turns was my last experience with my Firenze run

Dis iz da greenest an bestest chant in da world...
Tribute.
Long time ago me and me mate Skarnsik here,
We was waaghing down a long and bloody road.
All of a sudden,
Therez shined a shiny daemon,
In da middle of da road,
An he sayz!
Play da bestest song in da world, or I'll eat your souls...
Well me an Skarsnsik,
We'z looked a each other,
And we each said,
Zog.
And we played da first thing dat came to our headz,
Just so happen ta be
The bestest chant in da world,
Itz waz da greenest chant in da world.
Look into ma mask and it's easy to see
Gork and Mork means waagh, Mork and gork also means waagh,
Itz waz destiny.
Once every hundred thousand years or zog
When da sun duz shine
And da bad moon duz glow and da mushroom duz grow.
Needless ta say,
The slaaneshi was stunned.
Whip-crack wen iz whippy tail,
And the daemon was done.
He asked us,
Be you tzeentchian?
And we said nah,
We'z just greenskins,
waagh!
Ah, ah, ah, oh, wo, a-yo!
Dis is not da greatest chant in da world, no.
Dis is just a tribute!
Couldn't remember da greenest chant in da world, yeah - no!
Dis is a tribute!

My fellow Drath Zharr, I will play with 6.2 but I believe or at least hope you are wrong - this is not the last one.
Maybe the Siege Giant will be a part of a DLC and added to the Chorfs as well where it belongs. I wouldn't be surprised if CA gave Chorfs a spot in a DLC as well, there's enough units to fit just one.

Huh?

Hang on, what's the other set of news?

>>527275858
>ancillaries are by far more useless
Entirely dependant on race. Elves, liggers and chorfs have very impoactfull anchillaries.

For example, movement range and relationship anchillaries.

Seethe harder faggots, I own every total war game and dlc on steam. And I'm going to preorder the Tides of Torment pack as well. You can't stop me.

You're obviously a casual with no in-depth knowledge of this game or all the stupid shit like the terrible battle AI and sieges. Key gameplay mechanics. It's hardly "finished".

>>527276083
I have too much money, sometimes I'll just buy a game for the sense of ownership and continue playing pirated.

>>527276490
Literally me, except I only own TWW1-3 and 3K

>>527276404
Yeah loke magical items there are some really good ones and some really bad ones, but the issue is that the ancillary system is more clunky and restrictive overall, making it just feel annoying to use.
Mainly because of the fact that you can't merge them together (sell for 200 gold lmao), they are less rng-based so you keep getting the same things over and over, and some of them are locked behind different character types.
Magical items can at least be managed better.

>>527276861
Should we even allow people like this to post on our general?

>>527268937

>>527276802
>terrible battle AI and sieges
What's your point? These things will never change even if the game is supported until 2030, the fundamentals are fucked and the code is a decade old spaghetti cooked up by chefs who aren't even at the company anymore all done on an engine that was inadequate even before Warhammer 1.

>>527276802
yeah no i wouldnt say casual sieges suck ass and Total War will always have shit AI doesnt mean the game is "incomplete" shit sieges and shit AI is part and parcel for Total War

>>527277213
The game starts getting good at 2000 hours scrub

>>527276981
True. I hope the new drop chances effected them in a positive way. Getting more +10 relations with everyone as Dark Elves is incredibly fun.

I hope with the magic item rework there'll be some way to just "auto equip" your characters turn 90 im not equipping every single spellcaster and hero with an item its just ass

No, it's extremely likely at this point that dogs of war is a low effort faction and closer to a lord pack that reuses a lot of regiments of renown. We will get that and next year they will end support with a thanquol/nagash/kitchen sink end times dlc.

you guys like Rome Total War Remastered?

I got big damage value from Kugath when Napoleon attacked Kyoto with 4 stacks of celtic tribals

>>527305301
For 10 bucks it's pretty good. I like having night battles from Barbarian Invasion in the base game and it's nice that it has dynamic 3D clouds on the battle maps when even the mainline games still don't have them.

>>527305469
I think that Napoleon would probably hard counter Ku'gath. Not so sure what weapons the Celtic Tribals would wield but Kyoto would be far too clean to suffer Nurgle's taint.

>Lord Mortkin
Strong possibility for a final WoC lord
>Egil Styrbjorn
Not a lot with his character that would set him apart in the Khorne or WoC rosters, he might work as a Norsca lord, but Norsca is already getting content with Sayl so I think this is the end for them.
>Vardek Crom
See above, probably not enough distinctiveness to make him unique as a WoC or Norsca lord.
>Gorthor the Beastlord
I'd be happy to see it, but if we get a Beastmeme character it will either be Moonclaw or Ghorros Warhoof. Gorthor is dead in lore and doesn't do anything that Khazrak doesn't.
>Gorfang Rotgut
Again would be happy to see, but very unlikely. No reason to make more room on the map just to add another Greenskin Orc LL.
>Mallobaude
Would be really cool, but they'd have to go all out and make a vampiric/bretonnia hybrid faction that plays like Drycha with hostility to the main race. I can't see CA making that kind of effort for a one off character who would be confined to his own faction unless they added Red Duke in a similar place as well.

Finally trying out Lazy's corruption mods. Am I supposed to be getting events with Meow Ying in between the corruption events? I'm at stage 2, and nothing's happened after I enchanted her heels. The only events I'm seeing are from the Corrupted Compendium with the emissary.

>>527314943
Yeah but that's just juicy towers of blinding
I mean like more unique layouts that force you into nasty chokepoints one after another

>>527315220
Just keep winning battles and watch her corruption bar in the bottom left, also try to align with WOC and Slaanesh as much as you can to make it go faster.

I'm not asking how to progress it further. I'm asking if there's supposed to be more happening outside of the corruption stage changes because those are all I've seen so far. Thanks though

>>527315949
Yeah, the wiki mostly tells me how the progression works. Neither the wiki nor the LL thread clearly depicts what I'm to expect beyond the corruption itself. In fact, when it says, "she gets horny, becomes more provocative and actively seeking out (vanilla) sex," it leads me to believe I'm supposed to be getting events that I'm not seeing.

Not with this community. Way too many people play for the spectacle instead of a challenge. Look at normal fights - the most basic fights on the field.

It's Cathay settlement so it's actually easier than an open battle because the enemy is trapped inside letting your xbows do the heavy lifting.

>>527329650
>>527329847
Am I schizo? What are you guys talking about
Katarin. The character on the fucking cover of the game.
It's a kislev town bro. Right next to kislev city?
I'm better off trying to restart and just hoping the ai doesn't buy the ogres.
I don't mind hard campaigns, but this is just silly, and allegedly a starter campaign? Kislev is shit. All of them.

>>527330263
Well recruit some more kossars first
It's a siege so they'll just sit there letting you shoot them

>faction has attrition causing corruption but doesn't take attrition from a lack of corruption
Absolute cringe

>>527330263
I never saw AI recruiting those Ogres mercs on turn 2. Its probably a cheat issue.

Also, your shoud have recurited 2 lords on turn1, recruit 2 kossars from Kislev and force march them.

>>527330942
only makes sense for vcounts and daemons.
coast arguably, but they're nomadic so its a gameplay > lore thing.

>>527331003
My cheats are like the camera mod, and some personal aesthetic tweaks on mostly chaosmanii
>just cheese 3 lords on turn 1 starts on the bog standard intro LL for the game
You're not wrong, but I find it extremely unsavory.

>>527330263
Have you tried recruiting a second lord at Kislev in order to recruit more units with him? You know it's not illegal to do so?

>>527330263
The only thing on my mind when someone say "kat" is Cat-hay so I was expecting you to cry about that.
Anyway send that cat into the city, let enemy blob around it then nuke the blob with spells while your archers will stand right outside the gate. That cat is useless anyway so it's win-win situation if it dies.

For some reason sieges = passive and that's the main problem

>>527332542
How would you describe an active siege if what we currently have is passive?

>>527249021
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392149837

>>527332684
In a field battle the AI has some limit then go "fuck this we go in" if they think they have superior range/defensive position but are still getting fucked with somehow like a cheeky flying mage dropping vortexes
Sieges not having a sally out mode is like them not having that limit, and can make a siege against a rushdown army like greenskins or chaos much easier than it would be in a field battle
Surely cavalry leaving out of an uncontested gate to rush down artillery is a possible feat of technology

>>527331567
I just checked, in that siege you start in a tiny bit of forest that let you win the range war(all of your units are range btw), and that " shit-tier little ice wind thing" is a beath spell which means you can bounce it off the wall to hit the enemy twice.
This battle is easy bro especially since your kossars have spear and can rape the remaining ogres.

>>527333450
Yeah, but sieges by definition should be passive. Defenders should wait for the attackers to attack them, the main problem arrives with lifting sieges. There is no "lift siege" mechanic where attacker is on a time limit otherwise all armies in the region would rush in as reinforcements to lift the siege. The problem we have right now is unnatural when compared to history of sieges because nobody ever in total war will try to lift a siege.

>Defenders should wait for the attackers to attack them
Not when it's orcs or insane chaos men
The game is balanced around factions having different playstyles but then sieges tell the AI "ok you are elves now, sit in place"

>>527334405
It's Empire with the Empire II mod, figured I might as well give it a shot.

>>527333939
That's his 40k lost Primarch cousin, Karlus Franzius.

>>527334718
Sure, that might be a piece of needed flavor depending on the army size differences, but just by having a way to lift siege in the game would make lots of grievances disappear IMO. Or who knows maybe everybody would start bitching instead.

>>527323839
Wulfrik is a based truecel. Slaanesh could manifest in reality before him and promise him the night of his life and he would challenge Slaanesh to a duel

>>527335146
People would absolutely seethe, even spending one turn making a ram makes people flip out which is why so much shit has siege attacker
People complain about ass ladders but want the constant dopamine drip of a victory every turn

>>527334363
Which blood elf bitch is this

>>527335513
the constructing ladders solution is literally a zionist gatekeeping strategy to keep sieges shit
it literally wouldn't make a difference either way, the core issue with sieges is mechanical ones such as bugs and pathfinding and the maps just sucking
just like flat earth being a way to distract the questioning from knowing the truth, deployable ladders is a way to draw focus away from the core issues

>>527335859
Probably Brainiac-washed Starfire in the Kill The Justice League game

>>527335513
Could that be fixed if we had attached separate "mini army" similar to waaaagh army that's limited by siege supplies but can only build siege equipment for the sieges? If the main problem is "I want to attack NOW!" couldn't something like that fix it then?

>>527335882
Spending turns doing some shit to do a siege is good for campaign gameplay because it makes reinforcing an option
But yes the in battle gameplay would still be bad

Are the ogres fun to play? New to the game, any tips for them?

>>527344865
Yes but they have a lot of things to manage on campaign. If you have the dlc play Golgfag for an easy campaign to learn about camps and units. If you dont play Skrag, get at least 6 gnoblars, have them tie down enemy units and have your Ogres charge over them. Sack normal settlements and invest in your camp. Normal settlements are basically useless to you unless the settlement has a resource. Pick a faction to make your ally and kill their enemies and sell the settlements.

Polybius is gonna be your go to source for the Punic Wars, he wrote during the third one and was friends with the (adoptive) grandson of Scipio Africanus. Unfortunately a lot of his stuff is fragmentary. If you want a laugh, read the Punica by Silius Italicus, it's an epic about the Second Punic War but it's hilariously bad, even at the time the Romans thought it was dogshit.

Yes and both for mp and single. Use they heroes, they are very strong. Lion is a good fast cav, rhinos is a great cav. Birds can help you early to stop the shooters. If you want a thematic army you can go almost full lions and birds with a hunter traits. Paymaster is a great support lord. Maneaters with a pistols basically your spacemarines.

why do people stack sea guard instead of shadow warriors?

>>527378173
Sea Guard are basically a set and forget unit, they don't need micro. You can also recruit them globally in one turn very easily with all the ports you typically acquire playing as HElves.

Rome 2, attila or three kingdoms? haven't played any of those. over 1000hours in rome 1, medievil 2 and the warhammer ones tho

which one would you recommend?

I know why I love playing orcs, they don't have to contend with fucking gunpowder units refusing to shoot at the slighest inconvenience

>>527378870

>>527379965
Rome 2 with the DEI mod and the immersaholic reshade mod for great immersion

>>527341195
The Republican era is too big to really tackle for a single a book, you can do it but I wouldn't really recommend it.
For a book on the Punic Wars by a modern historian I would recommend Carthage Must Be Destroyed by Richard Miles, it's great introductory book that's very readable and accessible but it didn't sacrifice much real substance to get there.
Anon's suggestion of a primary source is also pretty good, I would add on to that Livy's The War with Hannibal which tackles the Second Punic War and it's a part of his larger body of work the History of Rome, written 200 years after the war by a well known Roman historian who lived at the dawn of the new Roman Empire, it provides an interesting and rare perspective. Livy's works in general are very collectable and more readable than you would think.

>>527379534

Rome 2 Attila runs like bum and Three Kingdoms is just chinese time which is boring

does this need a beefy pc? I'm still running a shit pc and I don't know if I can run the higher quality mods. My rig is basically a ryzen 3600, 16gb ram and a 1660 super.

>>527379965
All three have pretty good battle animations and immersion. Attila is a lot of management at the start if you play either WRE or ERE so maybe go Rome 2 or 3K instead. Rome 2 is missing some features from the old games and is missing some features from the new games as well but it has the most diversity of probably any historical game and obviously has a lot of appeal in its time period. 3K actually has a lot of good mechanics especially on the campaign level but it really is chinkmanii vs chinkmanii for the most part.

>>527380073
I would try using an army that is mostly skin wolves for taking out the large targets, and then have a few ice wolves to run down the grenade launchers

Finally decent but it's still not as good as Rome 1 even after 6 gorillion patches and DLCs, it's worth a try and there's a very extensive overhaul for it if the base game isn't doing it for you.
>Atilla
Weird entry, not for me but it's certainly unique, wouldn't recommend it but if you do it try it get some performance fixes for it, otherwise it's literally unplayable on modern systems for some reason.
>Three Kingdoms
Excellent game, I put about 500 hours into it, but I don't think there's more than one run here for someone who isn't a fan of the Three Kingdoms novel, it would just be a lot of Chinese babble without much meaning. It's very character centric.

>>527380531
Forgettable, get the Rome 1 OST mod.

>>527380537
He'll be fine, I have a 2060 and have all settings set to extreme (except for anti-aliasing at x4 instead of x8) and graphics mods on top of that and it only ever dips to ~30 FPS on large battles with ~40 units on each side. All settings on ultra should work for him.

Just let the game die already.

>>527364654
I have one problem with Grombrindal and that's his start location. One of my favorite factors of the dwarfs is how comfy their holds feel, aesthetically and lorewise. Grombrindal starts in a continent without a single one of them, just endless Mordor-like shitholes, and afterwards the campaign objectives lead you more towards Ulthuan than back to the mountains. I want my comfy Dorf Fortress experience.

>>527333939
Seems like the retardation of 40k is causing the enshittening of modding

>>527364654
Every time I try to play Grombrindal I just get bored. I usually play either the Slayer King and go full unga bunga pile of violence or I just go vanilla High King playthrough.

Malekith has not ever been that big of a threat in any campaign of mine for me to feel any animosity towards him. He just kinds of sits there, in his cuck corner - until I win my campaign or someone else wipes him out. Only Morathi and the red sword guy in Cathay has ever actually expanded and been a threat to me or the AI.

I mostly think of the Dark Elves as an edgy secondary tier faction not worth thinking about. So being stuck over there with norscans and the tomb king no one but contrarians plays... meh..
inb4 WHFB history is just the story of Malekith and his interactions with everyone else yadda yadda - it does not feel like that in game at all. There needs to be an endgame where he has a chance to spawn in a million armies and invade Ulthuan then everywhere else
