Thanquol soon, friends!

40k TROONS

Cathay is a boring faction.

Cathay is a fun faction.

Vampire counts should get a zombie dragon unit, not just as a mount.

>>527405814
Hopefully 5

>>527405814
And then more once 40k will drop off the cliff after release.

>>527405934
lmao I wish

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 khornate 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!
To da greatest song in da world,
Zoggit!
Itz waz da greatest song in da world,
Zoggit!
Dis is the bestest zoggin' chant, da greenest chant in da world oh!
And da weird thing is this me mates,
Da chant we chant on dat fateful night,
It didn't actually sound anything like dis chant!
Dis iz just a tribute!
You'z gotta believe me,
And I wish you wuz there,
Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, ah, oh!
Good Mork(or Gork),
Gotta waagh for dem,
I'm not so surprised to find ya can't stop dem!
Zoggit!
Zoggit!

what were they thinking?
and why doesn't warhammer where leaders dueling is actually normal have this??

In Warhammer is it stupid to have reinforcement armies that just follow your main army around with highly mobile units so they won't be out of the fight long?

Can someone explain to me why VC getting a Blood Knights variant for free makes people unreasonably panic about future VC DLC when back in WH1 VC received the very first Blood Knights unit as FLC two months before The Grim and the Grave DLC?

>>527406407
Is Pharoah worth getting? The reviews are bad, the game seems abandoned, but it's cheap and the setting interests me.

>>527406032
wouldn't it be funny if they did make a TW:40k game and it had the same trajectory as 3K, outselling Warhammer but then losing 90% of the player base after a couple shitty DLCs and bad patches until we got a "Future of 40k" blog post?

>>527406407
God I want to impregnate her buttpussy while making her girlcock squirt

>>527406407
wh2 kind of had this with matched animations, but it was dropped because of those same reasons why it didn't work out in pharaoh
it would be even more useless in wh3 where half the legendary lords are gone by turn 20

>>527406775
Most of the bad reviews are from the initial release, the game got much better after the dynasty update. It has a lot of fun mechanics and the battles actually feel very smooth, if you like the setting it should be worth it.

>>527405356 (OP)
Starting a unique campaign, ERE Legendary, going to try to raze and destroy every single settlement and faction aside from my main single province.

>>527405356 (OP)
>"Under the watch of my father Xen Yang, the celestial dragon emperor, Grand Cathay stands as a bulwark of harmony against the forces of darkness."

>>527406826
Everybody is aware how much money this game could make. CA will move heaven and earth in order to fix it so that people will throw money at them. They won't abandon it like they would a historical title.

>>527406775
>The reviews are bad
game is sitting at 83% on steam, hardly what I'd call bad reviews

Hastati are heavy infantry that can also throw javelins as they charge.
They are a tier 1 infantry unit.

>>527407104
40k is an extremely niche setting compared to three kingdoms

>>527407394
Maybe for inland Chinese men.

>>527407338
ROME total war not [your irrelevant faction] total war
get a grip, barbarian

>>527406757
Because the faction is boring and it's not going to receive more effort.

>>527406995
>>527407172
Fair enough I might get it then

>>527407679
Do you think Norsca isn't boring? Why are they getting more effort?

its too bad longmas look fucking stupid in the game and not cool as hell like in the art

>>527407839
Because Norsca serves a purpose other than making me want to beat whoever let Vlad revive full health next turn to death with a British Legal Hammer.

>>527405356 (OP)
cathay needs more cute tomboys in-game
give them a gun and a glaive and a longma balls

>>527407969
Norsca, purpose? What purpose? All they do is getting vassalized by WoCs or get destroyed by Kislev/Bretonnia. Is the purpose a free exp for ordertide lords?

>>527408071
you already have crane gunners what more do you need?

>>527407969
Vlad is easy to kill.

>>527407969
Norsca has like next to no purpose they feel like one of those NPC races that you'd unlock with a mod or something in Warcraft 3 like the Naga or some shit

>>527408298
This
Only good thing about Norsca is Mammoths, which could have easily been given to normal chaos factions

>>527406757
Even better / worse.
Greenskins got 2 free units some months before the whole greenskins OoD DLC.

>>527408201
I want MORE!

I upgraded late 2023 and my whole machine is worth nearly $5k.
I don't want to race to victory in 50 turns or less to dodge this shit.

>>527408650
nvme?

What dictates whether you can see where the enemy is in the battle phase? Minus trees that is

I feel a desire to run down churls coming over me....

>>527408869
Yes.

All dragon lords are hybrid spellcaster/monsters, but
>Zhao Ming leans towards army buffs
>Miao Ying leans towards being a melee monster
>Yuan Bo leans towards spell casting
What will Li Dao and Yin Yin do?

>>527408953
Honestly I don't know but from what I was able to observe is that defenders usually get to see attackers unless obstructed by terrain or something. Possibly some lord abilities allow to see defenders when attacking but I'm not sure about that.

>>527409282
Make Li Dao the human form melee monster.
Zhao Ming should have red line bonuses for mercs and lended units.
Yin Yin should have bonuses at sea so she can be fucking useless like every other naval character.

>>527409619
>Yin Yin should have bonuses at sea so she can be fucking useless like every other naval character.
They should make a Yin Yin vs Thanquol DLC. Both of them have detrimental faction/lord effects

>>527409282
Li Dao should be the meleeiest dragon.
Yin-Yin will be about faction buffs, specially towards economy, and she should get something like an alternative system to the caravans but it's with fleets and they have far greater reach and rewards than the caravans.

Best use for pistoliers? I want to squeeze them into a combined arms but can't find a use for them.

>>527409882
Pissing me off

>>527408650
you mean 5 min of camera moving around, or 5 min of computations? because I have an old ass pc and it does not present this problem

>>527409882
Use them to try to harass the enemy army as they wait for you/advance on your position.
Realize if you leave them in skirmish stance, the AI will freak the fuck out and make them completely undo formation and get caught as they shuffle around.
Realize if you just give orders to move away manually, they stop firing and what few shots they get through are all aimed at a single model and wastes 90% of the ammunition.
Realize a single unit of dogs will actually just kill them because they're faster, even if you somehow micro them perfectly (it will take away your attention from the entire rest of the battle to do so).
Realize even if you somehow did manage to micro them perfectly, avoid them getting caught, and somehow got off your shots in a decently spread out manner, their dps is still nothing special and really only then against lightly armored units.

>>527409882
watch and observe
https://www.youtube.com/live/WCUlO9657Hk?si=nnFMjoWKxp-1qc7-&t=20948

>>527409619
Zhao already has faction and skill buffs for Ogre units as "The Lord of Shang-Yang".

>>527410794
Fuck off

>>527406997
>>527407415
Going well so far

>>527409882
Absolutely incredibly based pic kek

>>527410379
Computations.
It doesn't matter worked it out. Its on an SSD but an old external Samsung shit I use for work for some reason - connected via USB
No wonder it was so fucking slow...
I could of sworn it was on one of the ones I have mounted to the MB...

Well its too annoying to ignore. Guess I am shitposting until it reinstalls on the right drive.

>>527409882
I have never seen pistoliers or non-grenade outriders do any damage. I think they're a trap unit. Just get more crossbows/handgunners instead

>>527410959
Enjoy your 50 turns of non stop rebellion.
I do the same thing with WRE but I keep Italy sans the bottom of the boot because its too hard to defend the endless waves of rebels.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1B-IzALZNM

>>527411182
>Its on an SSD but an old external Samsung shit I use for work for some reason - connected via USB
Brutal

why have they still not fucking done anything about rogue armies just appearing in the middle of your undefended settlement in the middle of your empire that shit is so FUCKING LAME

>>527411390
>Enjoy your 50 turns of non stop rebellion.
Completely wrong rookie, no matter how negative your region order is it always goes away with a single rebellion. Its already completely stabilized and im on my way to large onager heaven. Gotta go do some yardwork but when i get back someone is in trouble.

Fighting late game Kislev as any Chaos faction is such a ball ache since they get to use that thunder cataclysm spell in every battle! Ass time for slow units like Chosen.

>>527411907
Does the ERE get some mechanic or something to stop this? Everytime I tried doing it with WRE it was a shitshow of public order tanked into endless rebellion.

Ok how the fuck was I supposed to know the game was gonna spawn a full stack army in my capital once I gained 100 points as Norsca wtf? I have absolutely zero people there

>>527406997
>>527410959
isn't the ERE basically a cheat faction with a game mechanic where if you sit around for 20 turns without spending anything you get infinite money?

>>527413643
everything about twwh is a knowledge check, once you play through the first 20 turns of a faction and know whats going to happen the game becomes immensely easy

ERE WE GO BOYZ!

>>527414069
\\ n

>>527414185
It was translated from a french reupload of the original mod. I could not give less of a fuck you asinine faggot.

Recently realized that I actually have Total War Warhammer 1 and 2 in my library, so I figured I'd ask if there are any fun coom mods for those? Or do I need 3?

>>527414450
as slaneesh is only in the third game, no i don't think so

>>527414450
WH2 had 'kill' animations for beastmen where they started raping female models, to death - fully animated The same mod gave them modelled and animated genitalia and they had prisoners in cages on their backs etc.

>>527414398
didn't ask you stupid nigger, no go fix your low effort cheat before posting

>>527414679
Not mine, cunt.

>>527414578
>>527414630
Oh damn, that corruption stuff is what I was referring to, yeah. Guess I'll have to wait for a sale.

>>527414772
so you're just permanently butthurt at everything, got it you dumb faggot

Malus would use cheats btw

your mom used cheats on your dad lmao

that was rude

My father is the Phoenix king

why does Ikit want my dick so bad?

>>527386515
I feel like Dwarfs are too easy to play (for me personally) so I enjoy how kind of fucked his campaign position is being in the middle of nowhere with almost 0 allies although I ally with the High Elves because lore-wise, I feel like he'd be best friends with Alith Anar once he finds out just how fucking crazy he is about killing druchii scum, I also decide to confederate another dwarf closer to the mountains eventually (usually Belegar or Thorgrim) because I dont usually expand too far into the Chaos Wastes and if you ally with the Asur, theyll eventually gain a foothold in the Naggarond area and hold Morathi off/destroy her faction so it feels more earned for me personally to get those holds through confederating off settling grudges over starting a campaign in that region
>>527387887
I dont think the dark elfs are an issue, if you have issues fighting them, AR favors you if you spam Dwarf Warriors but theyre really not that tough to deal with esp if you get a Grudge Thrower or 2, and like I said, I also think Dwarfs are easy for me except for Belegar but his difficulty is more artificial (50% extra upkeep) rather than strategical and also gay

>>527415564
Because he stands to profit at least 5k from that deal. Truly smartest rat.

>>527414450
The only mod I remember using was there was a guy that gave huge boobs and asses to Morathi, Hellbron and Witch Elves other than that I think there was also one regarding Norscan barbarian women who are basically running around in chainmail bikini?

>>527415564
i love that even of you are friendly with the skaven they still sound like they want to kill you

>>527416140
Sounds like the Dark Elves

>>527415657
>I dont think the dark elfs are an issue, if you have issues fighting them

I never said I have an issue in difficulty. I just feel no bloodlust for them. They are almost beastmen tier for me that I prefer not to think about them and when I do I am just bored.

>"FUCK OFF ELVISH SHITS!"
>"I SAID YOU CUNTS SHOULD NOT BE HERE, FOR THE GREAT PLANS' SAKE"
- Lord Huinitenuchli said, calmly

>>527416457
Sorry, I feel like I didnt convey myself properly, Im just using it as a general way of dealing with the dark elves and I also agree that they arent a threat that even using AR against them wont punish you, they are that little of a threat to Grombrindal for me.
>that I prefer not to think about them and when I do I am just bored.
Thats understandable and reasonable as to why you wouldnt care to play Grombrindal since thats one of the main reasons to play him is to exterminate the Dark Elves and if you want a Long Campaign victory one of the legendary grudges needed to be settled

>>527416979
Salamanders are such a cool units

Nakai and Kroxigors are going to become busted when the lizardmen rework comes out, mark my words

what units can the Lahmians/Neferata bring to the VC?
what would their faction mechanic look like?
and how do they fit into Tides of Torment or do you think they'll be coming only in December?
webm just to grab your attention.

He's living his best life

>>527418194
Is that a rick&morty reference?

>>527417878
webm worked too well, now I need to jack off to Alaska Zade before responding

>>527417878
>what units?
Morghasts, Coven Throne, Wicker Man, finally add in Abhorash as LH (and Genevieve please) and probably Wight King as generic Lord and probably some kind of Lahmian Handmaiden or something as a LH
>faction mechanic?
Neferata likes to abuse political power by sending off her handmaidens as whores to control other powers, probably some sort of forced vassalization or being able to take control of a faction completely for a limited time
>Tides of Torment?
Well like I said, I think she's been shown to shake shit up on a political scale so I guess that can be seen as turbulent but I dont think she's gonna be in ToT desu, Im banking on High Elves sadly
>

>>527417878
Definitely going to have some kind of court influence/spying diplomacy mechanic. As for units, at least a Coven Throne seem likely to me

Who has the strongest capital city garrison? Something that the AI cannot win against unless outnumbering 3 to 1 or more.

>>527417878
>2.9 MB

what units can the Lahmians/Neferata bring to the VC?
Lhamian Handmaidens unit (small number of anti-infantry, about as strong as a unit as a full unit of blood knights, but like 5-10 total), Morghasts, Drakenhof Templars, Dread Abyssals, Bloodbeasts
>what would their faction mechanic look like?
Slaanesh.
>and how do they fit into Tides of Torment or do you think they'll be coming only in December?
:shrug:

>>527419007
Honestly, I'd say possibly the skaven. Not 3:1 or anything, but their properly fully kitted out and upgraded garrison is rather strong.

Small battles are cool battles.

>>527414069
>Madness?
>I can fix them

>>527406826
kek I would laugh so much

>>527411298
Outriders are fine

>>527411298
>>527409882
Never let them stop moving.
The best formation I've seen of them is just doing the Cantabrian Circle or Caracole Maneuver

>>527409882
Never recruit base Pistoliers, not worth the price just grab FCM they can at least blob in melee better, recruit Noble Sons Abroad EC instead because they can survive in melee and they can replenish their ammo

I still think it was cool of CA Sofia to expand the Pharaoh map so dramatically.

Ogres are scary lads I don't like them, how am I supposed to deal with an army of fat cunts and giants?

>>527421350
19 khorne halberds

pivot

>>527421350
like so

>>527421350

Sit on a landmine, faggot

>>527421741
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That bulge is impressive, no wonder Elven women prefer human men.

>>527414950

Keep speaking the truth, king

>>527421796
can you censor the word f*g? im gonna get demonitised

>>527414950
>T'zarkan is demon of Slaanesh
Does Malus take it up the ass when T'zarkan is in control?

>>527421697
>>527421796
>>527421810
I'm too much of a noob for this and have no idea what I'm doing, I don't have the right units

>>527422486
that's like... the least of it.
Go read the Malus Darkblade books.

>>527422667
Grave guard halberds and skeleton spearmen, Vlad, some standard grave guard for the goblars.

>>527422667
only use bats with Isabella at that stage
get more heroes
consider zombie summons
always have +winds going
raise the dead instead of building military buildings for a bit, focus on econ

>>527422667
terrorgheists

>>527422890
That lord was hastily assembled because the ogres are taking over every town and raping me
>>527422925
Yeah I realised bats were useless inn that fight, I was spamming zombie summons as much as I could.
>>527422985
Wasn't an option unfortunately.

It's okay, it's a learning experience, I almost want to get finished off now so I can start again.

>>527422667
You already do, take everything that isn't a skelly boy with pointy sticks and hide them somewhere near the edge of the map, get the pointy bois and your lord near the forest but not in forest, then move them to the forest once the enemy is close enough. avoid fighting with lord and just let the boys handles it.
Big entities(ogres) get huge attack decrease in the woods to point a single unit of cathay peasants can kill two dinos on their own.

>>527419007
I think kiselv is the clear winner with court/orthodoxy buffs. Got heroic victory after heroic victory just from settlement defences playing kislev.
Chaos dwarves with all their army abilities are very strong too.

>>527423486
I didn't know that, what about tackling the giants, same strategy?

>>527423586
Everything bigger than a human is considered big, as long it doesn't have the woodman trait which negate the forest effect you're good.

>>527409282
Is Yin Yin female?

>>527419007
I don't know.. I skip all sieges

>>527423586
Giants are even worse.
They're slow, you can actually use your wolves against them.

>>527424002
>>527424029
Shit you're right in another battle just one unit of spearmen is winning decisively in the woods against ogre bulls, thanks lads.

Spearmen
Axemen
Clubmen
Swordsmen

how do i win siege as tretch
"play another lord" isnt an option

>>527424918
plague claw catapults are an auto win

>>527424918
Deathwind mortar is an autowin.

>>527424918
Bringing another stack of clantrats is an autowin.

>>527424918
one eshin assassin deployed on the other side of the map is an autowin

no...

>>527424289
Spears worked

>>527426984
I was staring at your Vampire hero being a lord for about 7 seconds before I realised that Lahmians could be lords since the Bloodlines patch.

Sea elves when?

>>527427727
I really hope this is the third faction in the DLC

>>527426984
>Be half-ton Ogre with the strength to crush a man's skull in one hand and punch a tree down with another

Ogres are so pathetic lmao

>>527427727
>Vampire Chosen(reused veiny tits vampire hero assets)
>Tomb Guard
I really hope there's more to it than that

>>527428095
Surely they could just fall on skeletons and they'd break apart?

>people actually wanted content for the most boring faction in the game in this DLC
Lol

>>527428148
Nah there will be cat-thrower artillery too, and catgellants (like flagellants but they swing cats)

>>527428148
Abyssal Terror
Incarnate Elemental of Death
Spirit Hosts

>>527428326
Liggers always want more content, nothing is ever enough

>>527428326
I like the undead

>>527428523
You already got Vampire Coast.

>>527428326
Ogres already got their DLC.

>They recommend to beginners the woman dragon who has to fight three chaos factions that will almost always win autoresolves and Deathmaster Snitch who will bring three armies up your asshole
Why?

>>527428707
Which needs a rework as badly as Norsca.

>>527428326
Those are the literally the races that need DLC the most.

>>527429108
It's not related to difficulty but who's the face of the race, otherwise Gelt and Zhao should be beginner factions instead of Miao and Karl.

>>527429425
Zhao ONCE was the recommended choice, bro.

Can I get a quick beginner guide on how to build my settlements for Chaos Dwarves? The resources system is gay but I want my campaign victory achievement.

>>527428434
>Ratfags will never not be mad CA dropped their reddit faction like hot shit after SEGA purged headquarters of Hyena's.
Thanquol status? Never ever
Lizardmen rework status? Coming soon™ Actually announced, not a crack heads fever dream like ratfags.

>>527429883
Do Lizardmen really need a rework?
Except the Geomantic Web. I have no idea how it works.

>>527430086
I really feel Mazdamundi and Kroq-Gar could use a mechanic of their own.

>>527430086
That's exactly what they said they'd rework.
Blessed spawns could also stand to be more interesting, though. Have it work like the tabletop where you get an otherwise standard chassis for which you can choose the blessing. Wouldn't even need much effort, just copy the greenskin/tree enhancement menu.

>>527389035
>>527404775
Thank you both.

>>527430086
Geomantic Web
Blessed Spawns - we need specific spawns blessed by each god - they also need to extend it to DLC units.
Slann in general but particularly their magic option. Slaan should have access to cataclysm spells of at least their 'wind' even if it costs them 50 WoM.
Skink's and rework of rampage.
Kroxigor need an animation rework because right now they are near useless SOLELY because of not being able to hit anything

Then you have specific ones like Mazda being one of the worst LL casters which is inverse to the character itself
Kroq'gar needs a faction buff
Kroak needs buffs to his spells - MP nerfs have been a disaster where he cant even kill 1/3rd of a unit of clan rats with his biggest cast

At the moment its all about surviving until you can spam dino's. There is no reason to bring skinks unless playing tehen and saurus become outdated fairly quickly too. There is no synergy that the faction was built and designed around on TT and right now 90% of the roster is placeholder.

Also Lustria needs a rework itself and it NEEDS rivers through it like Cathay or the Empire. They are there on the map already but they are just decoration right now. Lustria should widened and rivers added - make them give a debuff like open ocean to all non lizardmen factions so both the lizards can navigate their won fucking continent better than the tourists and non lizardmen factions get the 'Lost world' feel of trying to penetrate deep jungle.

>>527431613
Skaven need that navigation buff too, Lustria belongs to Pestilens yes-yes

>>527431993
Skaven can use it to sail right up to the temple
Tehen awaits.

Not much interest in discussing historical Total War games?

>>527431993
This, skaven needs a rework and at least three more DLCs to be even remotely finished.
The silent majority wants more skaven content.

>>527432348
Ehat do you wanna talk about

>>527433332
Well I don't want to talk with you, Madison

>>527433332
What kind of campaign mechanics could be introduced alongside Medieval 3.

>>527433498
that's pure speculation, we'll only know in December
but if they do make a Medieval 3 I want a proper feudal experience, it should be like in 3K where units are attached to lords
just hopefully with less feng shui colour autism and units locked by the tech tree this time

>>527433498
Being able to move armies without generals, please k thanks.

>>527433029
>the 3rd least fun faction
>with the most bullshit mechanics
>with literally only 3(7 technically) missing units
>Gets 3 more DLCs.
no. The only faction that honestly deserves more than 1 more is the empire.

We may have lost E3... but now we get an official Creative Assembly show.
I think that we won.

>>527434764
Summerfest is basically the new E3. Made by a lot of the same people. Basically E3 but online.

>>527434764
An official CA show were they show a 15 second animation on loop for 30 minutes and end the stream (they're showing off their progress for the month)

>>527434764
>E3
Gone and forgotten

>>527436539
No, E3 was its own special hell

>>527436815
Tau, I need the blussy.

>>527430086
Kroq giving you a reason to use Saurus Oldblood lords with his faction passive feels fine, and I'd still want a basic unga-bunga lord.
I'd rather they rework Gor-Rok somehow, his faction effect is nearly useless since the AI almost never attacks settlements if they don't have overwhelming force.

>>527431613
Lustria being worse to navigate as Lizards than fucking Skaven was always bullshit but I don't think rivers are the solution since it'll just make Delves even more of a pain to deal with due to Blark spam. Just give lizards immunity to swamp attrition and give Slaan lords access to teleport stance.

lol lmao

>>527437376
I'll be laughing at you 40FAGS in December. Screencap my posts all you want, they won't be used.

Is the 7.0 patch going to fix the new canon map of the Southlands for Cathay? They changed drastically compared to what we have in Immortal Empires.

>ogres now beg for peace
Wow I never thought that would turn around, I was sure they were going to wipe me out. The pointy stick tactics work.

>>527437686
Remind me, is 7.0 coming out the same time as the DLC?

>>527437876
7.0 is the dlc patch yes

>>527436815
From those, probably IG > Orks > Eldar > Black Legion > Ultramarines. Then eagerly await Tau, Mechanicus, Genestealers, Sisters and Harlequins.

Also I just realized there is literally no way in hell they will do justice to the IG by adding all the cool non-Cadian regiments.
>Won't be getting my beloved Tallarn, much less stuff like Vostroyans, Armageddon, Vallhala, Harakoni, let's not even talk about Tanith.
>Might get Catachans and Krieg if we're lucky, still doubtful.

Small bonuses to armor are basically useless, right?

>>527438131
10 armour = about 7.5% protection from base weapon strength.

>>527438126
They'll certainly do Catachan and Krieg, the rest are a non-starter I believe.

>>527438126
Actually darktide has an armageddon soldier and the skyraiders have a set of skins. so we might get them... however I doubt we'll see any of the other non-catachan non-krieg deathworlders

>>527428326
Khorne isn't going to be in the DLC

>>527436815
Da Boyz

>>527436815
I think you guys really need to prepare yourselves for going to back to Warhammer 2016 levels of content with 40k. The game after you've spent £300 on games and DLC is not how it is when it launches

>>527439167
There will probably be about four factions, Ultramarines, Imperial Guard, Orcs, and some sort of chaos.

>>527436815
Skaven

>>527438223
But most units with high damage have a large amount of AP, right?
>>527438983
Retard Khorne where Archers, despite being really buff and proficient at martial murder, are treated like cowards will always be boring, but it's not a boring faction for what it is.

>>527439598
isn't that just imperium
like even the emperor was going to become the ruin aspect of chaos like horned rat

>>527439167
I mean anon listed 5 factions, which is exactly what Warhammer 1 released with
>Empire
>Dwarfs
>Greenskins
>Vampires
>Warriors of Chaos

>>527439656
Yes

>>527437376
Just 2 more weeks

Ghoul kings sound like they've got food in their mouth when they talk it's amusing

>>527439821
>>Warriors of Chaos

>>527439656
>Warhammer authors explain that skaven are meant to be a dark reflection of humanity, all of society's worst impulses and systems gathered into one faction.
>End up looking like the Imperium.

Really gives food for thought.

>>527439630
I'm burning out hard playing Arbaal. My enjoyment of the game is being actively sucked out when I make a giant locked formation line of chaosmanii and tell them to attack

>>527410959
>>527411390
>not defending every bit of land you start with
pathetic

>>527440263
I still like it more than Vampire Counts.

>>527436815
Order:
Guard>Orks>Eldar>Smurfs>BL
Depending on who's available on launch
I hope Smurfs aren't the only launch marine faction and we get something like Black Templars or Dark Angels or Wolves

>>527440263
lmao I had the same feeling.
I mean, I get much of the same with Chaos in general, it's easily the least interesting part of the setting to me, but at least I find enjoyment in the Nurgle/Tzeentch/Slaanesh campaign mechanics. Khorne was just a fucking snoozefest of boring battles with mechanics that just make the next battle even easier.

>>527414679
You really are here every day huh

>>527440151
As preorder DLC and in a dogshit state, but they were a 5th faction even if just barely

>>527440556
Cheatsfag is Thanquolfag

>>527440494
Vampire Counts at least have magic, and they have to use tactics (except for Ghorst) because their lineholders can't mulch the enemy nearly as well
>>527440519
I like Warriors of Chaos, but really only as an undivided LL. I would like Tzeentch but I hate the southern wastes and I hate not being an actual faction. Haven't tried Nurgle or Slaanesh yet.

>>527440505
>I hope Smurfs aren't the only launch marine faction and we get something like Black Templars or Dark Angels or Wolves
They wouldn't add those as a base marine faction when those would actually require altered rosters and mechanics. Those have DLC painted all over them.

Expect Imperial Fists, Raven Guard or White Scars, since they're legions that are completely codex-compliant but with purely playstyle preference quirks that could easily be represented with just faction numbers effects.

Blood Angels, Iron Hands and Salamanders are all straddling the line as codex-compliant chapters that still would probably be more of a FLC faction to add their unique quirks as well (blood rage, Mechanicus-style workshop, dwarf-style forge mechanics respectively).

>>527440161
Linking spells to chants will always be the peak
https://youtu.be/3mdMb7oUzAE?list=PLmy44paiyJQvS2L73p3RTfsag9lwn8SYR

Thanquol will never be added to the game.
40kek won't happen.
And Medieval 3 won't happen either.
Face it future of Total war is incoming

>>527412907
You are misunderstanding something. As long as it happens all in one turn then it all goes away per region when there is a rebellion. If you say more ill understand your confusion better.
>>527413685
Gross misrepresentation especially when playing on legendary. Any other difficulty literally doesnt count cause its so easy whats the point.
>>527440492
As said that isnt the point to this campaign. Or the optimal way even to play as ERE. WRE maybe.

>>527436815
>>Astra Militarum
nobody calls it that mr. Adeptus Copyrightus

>>527441174
/twg/ won't accept the truth.

>>527437130
Tau are game 2 material, or game 3 if Eldar aren't in game 1

>>527441174
This looks like you're saying Total War: Megamind

>>527440505
>I hope Smurfs aren't the only launch marine faction and we get something like Black Templars or Dark Angels or Wolves
If they add multiple marine factions, then they'd have to add multiple of other factions to balance the game out on the campaign map. That'd be a ton of model and texture work. More likely we're getting the Ultramarines, the Black Legion, the Cadian Guard, etc.

>>527441492
MetroMan is too OP unbalanced game.

>>527440556
Calling mods cheats predates this general.

>>527441283
But they'll call it that, you liking it or not.

I fear that Total War has already peaked and that the only way it could improve would be if CA were to make their own IP.

>don't want to buy any of the WH3 DLC because the new lords are OP shitstomps

>don't want to play the WH3 factions because the rosters are too barebones without DLC

It's a Cats 22

>>527441639
Sure

>>527441174
no presentation in December?

>>527441807
and they won't be called "eldar" either.

>>527441807
On the faction screen they'll call it Imperial Guard, they'll call it Astra Militarum on some lore texts like techs and loading screens
Both names are canon, one is formal for officials and the other is informal

>>527437130
Same

Do you think that CA will provide us with any FLC lords in between the Tides of Torment release and the December showcase?

>>527442226
Dwarfs? You mean Duardin
Elves? You mean Aelves
Lizardmen? You mean Seraphon
Ogres? You mean Ogors
Orcs? You mean Orruks
Giants? You mean Gargants

>>527442870
Seraphon are the only cool name out of that list.
Fucking gross.

>>527441847
History is their IP

>>527442870
We don't speak of AoS here

>>527442870
shit is too funny

>>527442870
Imagine the seethe if we get total war age of sigmar instead of 40k

I already know the answer when comparing these to Quarellers, but comparing Bugman's Rangers vs vanilla Rangers, why would I ever use vanilla Rangers outside of not having them available to me

>>527443269
CA would need to have a death wish. Literally no one would play that over fantasy.

>>527443269
can't fucking wait, I'll post this every single thread

>>527443262
Those are just RoR material

>>527443389
>dating back to the age of myth
That means it was in the old world too, chud. Tetra were always valyd.

why do the most elite high elf spearmanii have lower ap damage than shitty zombie sailors with harpoons?

>>527443364
And that's why it'll never happen
>Let's release a watered down warhammer fantasy setting after finishing up the last warhammer game with all factions and units
would make no sense for no one, hell that one AoS RTS flopped really hard.

>>527443558
lack of calcium in their elven diet

>>527434168
>it should be like in 3K where units are attached to lords
absolutely dead on arrival

They can't add Boris Todbringer because then Karl Franz will have nothing to do.

>>527443868
Uh what?

>>527428326
Yeah, idk why High Elf fags think their roster needs to be even more complete than it already is

>>527443868
Not if they add 3 more evil LL in the empire region to compensate

ikit dlc killed the game
hope you're happy ikit
faggot

>>527440505
>It's not smurfs
>It's blood Magpies again
WAHOOOO

>>527443398
Could.
Or can be turned in a proper unit like the Silverin Guard.

>>527425245
Look at this dumb fucking hat.

>>527444196
Oh look, dead things of the big drowny lake
*sips*
Maybe if you lived on land you wouldn't be so salty

>>527443868
>implying Toddy isnt gonna faceplant into Khazrak like usual
>implying Middenland wont be wiped out by Festus right after
Only difference is that Toddy will now be more unique so its more incentive to confederate him

>>527444196
YAWOHL!

>>527443868
Empire is one of the most open areas on the map. If they put Boris in Middeneheim that leaves.

>Moot
>Nordland
>Laurelon Forest
>Wasteland
>Talabecland
>Averland
>Moot
>Solland
>Southern Grey Mountains
>Black Mountains
All those areas have no legendary lords in them. The Empire needs to add Boris and some actual enemies. Egrimm should go in there somewhere.

>>527438131
Not if you can stack them. The Bret building that gives factionwide armor is great because of that.

>>527439630
All units have some amount of base damage, and there are units like Shield Chosen and Forsaken that have really high weapon strength but low AP.

you dont know its me

I do know

>>527443868
Empire could do all the following:
>Boris Todbringer
>Valten
>Halfling Lord in Moot
>Another Wood Elf in the Woold Elf Forest
>Thanquol
>Egrimm

They would still have 1 or two open areas they could put lords with all that added. Empire is boring because it is too empty and uncrowded unlike Araby/Tomb Kings area which is packed.

>>527434168
>units are attached to lords
Holy monkeypaw that would be.

endless ammo and nukes
and yet
my lord has more soul than your entire souless piece of shit dlc

>>527444885
Fairly sure that all historical games since Rome 2 have required an army to have a general.

>>527445059
>my lord
heh gay

>>527445097
Not like 3K does it.

>>527445059
Skaven have no souls.
Like greenskins, beastmen, the french, the chinese, the lizards, the undead, the elves, the other elves, and the 3rd elves.

>>527445097
he means you need different lord types to recruit different units not the general leading armies shit
its the worst part of 3k by far and ruins the game entirely

>>527445097
>>527445236
3K did it much better because it didn't force you to build new stacks, you could just split a normal stack in three to deal with smaller threads

>>527445749
now imagine if you could just select the units and split them from the army no need for some scuffed multi general garbage

>>527445749
>3K did it much better

Rome 2: 20 stack
Attila: 20 stack
Thrones of Britannia: 20 stack
Warhammer: 20 stack
Three Kingdoms: 21 stack

Say thank you

>turn all the Elector Counts into LLs that can only be recruited by confederating them
>tone down the Empire AI (especially Elspeths) so it doesnt just easily stomp out Gorbad, Vlad and Skrag
>make Toddy an FLC LL with reskin units (Flagellants = Wolf-kins, Reiksguard = Knights of the White Wolf) and a reskin lord and hero (Ulric's Champion and Wolf Priests instead of Arch Lectors and Warrior Priests) with minimal changes, another LL that can be unlocked by building the Temple of Ulric in Middenland (Emil Valgeir)
>expand the Chaos Wastes and add Valten there, give him Chaos attrition immunity
>add the Ubersreik Five as LHs with a Valten DLC pack
We all know Valten is coming, might as well just finish up the rest of the missing Empire content as FLC esp after that shit Skulls event content

poo poo ra roo

atleast this ataman shit fixes the main annoyance of small armies or single generals raiding your shit and someone made a mod that enables it for all factions so you can just attack them with your garrisons finally

>>527445937
now imagine if there was ever a total war game where that system actually worked well and didn't result in massive conga lines of 1 unit stacks and agents

>>527446379
Can the AI do it to you?

>>527446534
Nobody dares to fight Kislev.

>>527446059
No.

>>527436815
no sisters, no buy.

what do i do with morghur as ikit

There will never again be a unit as solid as Armoured Kossars.
What was CA thinking when they put them in tier 2?

>>527447016
Should have made rat ogres

>>527447070
What difficulty are you playing? Armored Kossars suck compared to regular Kossars
>overpriced in the early game when you can field a Kossar and Kislevite warrior over 1 armored kossar
>actually melts and cant hold the frontline without a good amount of casualties on VH/VH, shield variant is required
>their gun has such a short range with not enough AP and smaller unit count = less ranged damage
>by the time you can field them and you finally fixed Kislevs shit economy, you can skip over them over the very tanky Tzar Guard
Armored Kossars look cool but they are not worth the price on VH/VH, I only field them if I want to have varied armies

>>527431163
Imo Yin-Yin should have Serpent Estuary because like other siblings she'd be then responsible for the whole side of the country.

>>527447501
I play on normal difficulty and Armoured Kossars have never let me down.

>>527447713
>normal
Yeah theyre fine there, I just dont field them on my average Kislev playthrough because Kossars have better range

>>527447501
I play on Legendary and I feel what that anon feels. Armoured Kossars rock, especially after their technologies. Kossars at some point melt to any melee, but Armoured Kossars can stand their ground even against Chaos Warriors. Regular Kossars lack AP and by turn 20 were not very useful when I played Boris Ursus. I needed strong units, and Armoured Kossars were just that.

>>527419870
Why are elves so into ugly human bastards?

>>527448224
>Boris
Really? I felt like that campaign was a little too easy, never had a reason for Armored Kossars last time I played him (this was pre-Omens but post-Tamurkhan) and I just went with Tzar Guards, War Bear Riders and Tzar Guard are all I needed for frontline

I'm playing ogres for the first time in TW3 and they suck! What the heck are you supposed to do vs dwarves? They are all armored and rape me in every fight

>>527443389
holy shit this is so cucked, and the faggots that worship 40 gays did not even complain about the subtle political propaganda in space marine 2 with woman guardsmen being the leader and one of your companions being a nigger

>>527448692
Play like a cavalry faction and use your little guys and cats to tie up their artillery and ranged.

Ogres are no different than knights except speed.

>>527448692
Your bull duel weapons or golgfag's maneaters slaughter dwarves.
the Cannons murder the gyrocopters, as do Vultures.
NGL, the ones I've had the most trouble with as Ogres has always been Nurgle. Everything is so tanky.

>>527449082
>Nurgle
As someone that fought Festus as early as possible (Golgfag campaign), Sabretusks even the playing field, they beat the war hounds, are fast and honestly all you need are Ogres with Dual Weapons and two dedicated melee heroes, it was surprisingly easier than I expected

>>527446514
>change the entire way the system works instead of just trying to fix your bugs
>accidentally enshittify Total War forever

>>527449369
Festus is easy, the issue is Tommy.

>>527448692
>Maneaters and Ironguts decimate everything armored
>Leadbelchers delete artillery pieces and fliers, plus deal good damage to ranged (which they outrange as well)
>Blood carrioms can skip flanking entirely and beat fliers, artillery and ranged handily
How are you struggling exactly? Are you making your armies out of nothing but non-ap unarmored Ogre Bulls and Gnoblars?

So total war 40k is almost s give at this point.
But what about the historic one? I believe they'll throw a curve ball and do the famed pike and shot era.

>>527405356 (OP)
total war

>>527449582
Im guessing you are playing Greasus, if so I'm sorry, but in that case you should be rushing Leadbelchers and Firebellies, theyll melt most of their army then you should have something that locks him down in combat and honestly army loss him instead

I am currently playing Total War Troy and having to weigh the risk/reward of expanding my territory but at the cost of leaving my coastline undefended.
Curse Agamemnon and his small-shielded tributaries.

>>527449932
Renaissance would be goated, extremely varied time period for factions.

>>527446080
>turn all the Elector Counts into LLs that can only be recruited by confederating them
That is little bit too many LLs for the Empire. Plus what would you do about Emmanuelle von Liebwitz the elector count of Nuln and Weissenland? She has no zero combat training and Eslpeth is leading her faction.

>make Toddy an FLC LL with reskin units (Flagellants = Wolf-kins, Reiksguard = Knights of the White Wolf) and a reskin lord and hero (Ulric's Champion and Wolf Priests instead of Arch Lectors and Warrior Priests) with minimal changes, another LL that can be unlocked by building the Temple of Ulric in Middenland (Emil Valgeir)
Todbringer needs to be FLC. Wolfkins could just be a reskinned flagellant with a different ability and weapon type. White Wolf doesn't work at all like Reiksguard and would need to be their own unit though. High Priest and Priest of Ulric could easily be variants of the Sigmar priests but they need the Ulric prayers instead of Sigmar ones. Adding in Emil as another LL on top of all the elector counts is way too much. Just make him Todbringer's FLC LH.

>expand the Chaos Wastes and add Valten there, give him Chaos attrition immunity
I don't know about expanding there or putting him there but he ideally would start near Vardek Crom, more chaos lords, and be immune to chaos attrition like you mentioned.

>>527449035

ya thats all i can recruit

>>527449932
You realize the games in December are likely going to be another shitty mobile spinoff game and a remaster by feral interactive right? SEGA themselves said CA's next game is in Q3 2026 and it is the Alien sequel.

>>527450652
>too many LLs
Never enough, plus Empire econ eventually lets you field a lot of armies
>Emmanuelle
She is actually trained in using a runefang and pegasus riding though she doesnt care for combat and would rather pay someone else to do it for her than force herself to fight.
>Vardek Crom
Agreed and also Valtens quest battle should be fighting a Slaven Master Assassin as retribution for that shit that happened to him during The End Times

>>527440867
>vampire counts have magic
And no ranged at all.

>Imperial Guard has infinite possibilities of design, specialty, and etc

Soon

IG will probably be extremely similar to the empire with an even higher emphasis on artillery.

Waggh's should be player only mechanics. AI go pig wild with 'auto resolve anything but a loss' mechanic.

Dark Elves and High Elves should have air defence spells. Especially Black Arks.
It just makes sense.

High elves have tempest.

1. You
2. Me
3. Him

You mean like the entire lore dedicated to sky magic? Maybe you could call it like lore of heavens or something.

Malekith did nothing wrong

>>527458914
No i meant like aoe spell that intercepts enemy artillery.
Cathay has missile mirror, Elves should have a better version of that spell.

Should factions that are located near a new DLC lord get buffs to their stats to make up for the fact that the DLC will be broken for at least a month?

Total War Pharaoh is actually a very good current historical total war game.

>>527464510
is the only current historical game

>>527464510
it's pretty good but every time I play it I get bored by turn 10 because there's no magic or monsters or guns

>>527464510
Unit variety is kinda bland just because of the nature of the period but they made up for it with some pretty good battle and campaign mechanics. I also appreciate the lost technology like night battles, weather and encampment battles.

>>527464510
It's far better than Legend(whom didn't play it) gave it credit for.
>>527464623
Not anymore, Babylon & Assyria were supposed to be DLC with the Myceneans and Trojans being free for those who owned Troy, due to CC fuckery the game undeservedly flopped so hard they just made all the DLC free to save face and left the game at that.

Axes are the anti-armor role, while swords are generalists, khopesh fall somewhere in between, and clubs are unique as low-lethality armor breakers.

I have played a bit of Troy but never finished a campaign, how is Pharaoh compared to it? Should I just pick to Try, can't decide if I like the mythic version more than the other versions.

>>527469630
It's Bronze Age Total War.

total war: the grass age

>>527469630
Similar campaign wise with the five resources although the completely unique mechanics for each Troy faction were turned into rather general (although there's a lot of them) state mechanics in Pharaoh that apply to all factions. Pharaoh is completely historical so all generals have bodyguards and none of the over the top units (including Amazons and the behind the myth stuff) from Troy are in the game. That said it's balanced out by much greater cultural diversity since Pharaoh includes Egypt, Mesopotamia an the rest of Anatolia.

Total War Pharaoh faction to pick for the most red haired gameplay?

I checked Alashiya and there was no Red hair.

>>527469836
>>527469920
Is it fun? only 15 bucks atm but lots of negative reviews and the positive reviews have less than 1 hour play time

>>527470057
You're probably looking at the base game which was superseded by Dynasties and generally has more positive reviews. For 15 bucks the amount of content is easily worth it imo.

>>527470057
I think it is fun.
It's worthy enough to be called the current historical title for Total War. Without having to reference Rome 2 or something.

And the negative reviews are most likely before the Dynasties update. Dynasties update opened up the map to Mesopotamia and Greece. And also added family tree and more stuff.

I didn't buy it until after that update.

Total War: Space Age

Total War: Elder Scrolls

But as a Historical Total War game with family trees and stuff. It'd work.

>>527471072
>DLC is getting to play as Whitescrake and genocide the Ayleids

all of the dwarf factions feel like they serve only to make histcucks go back to the histgames

>>527471072
what time period would it take place in?

>>527471072
Elder Scrolls is the only fantasy setting I could see working after Warhammer, LotR would be too similar to Warhammer and something like Game of Thrones would be too close to historical games for most fantasy fans.

>>527471072
It really wouldn't. Argonians are birthed out of a tree. Khajiit can only breed with each other. If men and elves have children the child always takes the mother's race.

Then you got other factors like time period. Only certain time periods have races like Chimer, Ayleids, Nedes, Falmer, and Dwemer. How do you portray Imga who have no rulers? Do you separate the provinces or have them united?

Do you do DLC to include stuff like the Thras Isles to have Sload playable?

>>527471719
Unless the time periods are different enough in terms of tech, I'd think it'd just be a sort of bookmark system.

generals fucking dead, we need a new age of sigmar total war game to revive this thread. I cant wait to see seraphon duke it out with chaos.

>>527441871
Just don't play the OP lords? Just play on high difficulty? Just don't autoresolve? Just keep playing until you run into other large/powerful factions? I'm playing an Ungrim campaign on VH/VH and I didn't run into any "OH SHIT" battles until around turn 50 when I plowed through a few Clan Mors armies and then relaxed and thought I'd replenish for a few turns when Queek popped up out of nowhere with 5 armies and immediately besieged me. That battle was won by the skin of my teeth and only because they routed. I scraped by with like 150 different slayer units and my lords/heroes but they still had about 1500 rats by the end of it, so I very well could have gotten wiped there. Still lost 70% of my army and they were all Lvl 7+. Absolutely brutal. In the east I have two auxiliary armies fighting chaos dwarfs while constantly getting ambushed by tretch and somehow just barely holding the territory I took so far. To worsen things, Kislev got deleted by Azazel and he just declared war on me and I don't have any armies in the north to defend, so now I need to pray I can recruit an army to defend before he comes knocking.

>>527471072
you would have to pick a time period. because like if you choose the time when nedes were the majority human race, dwemer still around, and the dunmer were still chimer then nords literally fought in battle naked with no armor and most nord warriors knew how to use the voice. also the only race that would have access to crossbows in that time period would be dwemer.

generals fucking dead, we should secede to /vst/ bros

>>527472063
There is zero appeal of Age of Sigmar. It has space marines that feel vastly out of touch and it is basically hybrid fantasy/scifi. Zero appeal. Fantasy fans hate it and scifi fans hate it for nothing scifi enough.

generals fucking dead, we should allow /nikg/ to vassalize us

>>527471960
>Argonians are birthed out of a tree.
They still marry each other and that could be represented by a family tree.
>Khajiit can only breed with each other.
So only let them marry each other? Not a big deal.
>If men and elves have children the child always takes the mother's race.
There's enough in-game examples to cast doubt on this rule but I don't really see the issue with this because it'll even out eventually anyways mechanics wise. Intermarrying between men and elves should be near impossible anyways, I could see the diplomatic malus being very difficult to surmount.
>Then you got other factors like time period. Only certain time periods have races like Chimer, Ayleids, Nedes, Falmer, and Dwemer. How do you portray Imga who have no rulers? Do you separate the provinces or have them united?
I doubt any of those would be included because in the actual games they're background material. There's no reason you couldn't have separated provinces, it makes about as much sense as Warhammer doing it.

>>527472359

We are hoping to conquer and secure this inland province of Anatolia. Every city you conquer in Troy can become incredibly valuable due to the trade system. Bonus points if the settlement is safe from being navally invaded.

Yes

>>527480709
only reddit shit like shitpire, high elves, and chaos to get buffed in each update

sieges would be more fun if they were more about interactions between defenses and siege weapons instead of just a land battle with a bunch of broken terrain and dumber than usual ai, but that would mean you would actually have to make siege weapons and campaign players hate having to slow down.

>>527481152
When were helves last buffed?

i'm new to tww but i thought i was just being a fucking casual thinking the dwarves were fucking horseshit in this game

>>527484901
yes and no
dwarfs teach really bad habits to new players

>>527484880
Standalone expansion which means it runs in Shogun 2 but you don't have to own Shogun 2 to play it, the main Shogun 2 campaign would just be grayed out.

>>527484901
They used to be underwhelming before the DLC, now they're fine. There's no truly dogshit faction in the game really, not even norsca is that bad.

Finally... This campaign would have been better if you were able to do multiple Rituals of Rebirths at once

>>527487019
Or just knock them down to 5 turns.

I haven't played a TW game in more than a year
What have I missed?

>>527490283
Hyenas flopped so hard that CA laid off over 200+ staff (see pic) and are now balls deep in working on a new mainline total war (speculated to be 40k) and Alien Isolation 2
Warhammer has passed on to the bulgarians at CA Sofia (I read somewhere that the DLC team is a mere 20 staff but cant find the source) and we will get one (1) this whole year.
25th anniversary was an announcement of an announcement, big news supposedly to come in december, including "long awaited content"
Thats it

>>527490761
Whoops, couple corrections and additions
*As can be seen in the pic, CA actually made a loss because of Hyenas, which was the first since 2013 if Im not mistaken
*One DLC this whole year
*reveal of long awaited content

>Gristle Valley is an ogre settlement in the Empire in lore.
>No lords start there instead it is just ruins at the start of the game.
Why?

>>527491858
CA places gameplay above lore, for whatever reason they decided it was more important to have it empty
If you want to cope you can say something is coming later

>>527491858
It is Skrag's start in RoC I think, but I guess Empfags would complain if he started there in IE

>>527490761
>Omens of Destruction released in 2024
Holy fuck, and I didn't' even buy that shit.

>>527492109
Why? The entire area is empty with no legendary lords at all. One of the most empty of the entire game.

>>527491858
Perfect place to put Ghark Ironskin in when they release character only packs.

>>527491858
https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Gorger_Haunt
even worse when you realize ogres actually have a unique landmark there....golgfag should have started there it is close to where he hangs out in lore(border princes, averland, and stirland)

>>527492751
Empfags throw a hissy fit whenever a potential enemy LL is put near the Empire

>>527484335
Not really, the crowmen are nice to maintain harmony with longma riders when hitting the enemy backline but you can realistically win using nothing but arty and the different flavors of Spearmanii and Bowmanii

>>527492550
Yeah, they just barely squeezed it out in time.

>>527488068
Repantsu my beloved...

>>527444521
>>527444836
i just verified these and have to say why is the empire so empty? tons of cities yet almost no legendary lords at all. it feels weird as someone that usually only plays tomb kings, greenskins, dark elves and is used to being in completely full starting positions.

>>527494004
It also has to do with the old world being more thought about when designing the areas.
>Rivers and bridges making natural walls
>Tableland
Like, in warhammer 1 the empire felt packed with lords, both ally and enemy.
Warhammer 3 it's even worse, but due to how everywhere else you can just kinda... wander across 8 territories easy, everywhere else feels more packed.
Darklands for example, basically a flat void, has 5 legendary lords in it in total. It feels more packed than the empire and Bretonia, even though it's basically empty.
2/3s of Nagaroth is even worse. There's 4 lords and Taurox. One lord doesn't expand inwards (ghost), and 2 are the same faction (Helberon and Malekith) leading to confederation rather fast.
I mean technecally you have the tomb king, who dies turn 10 usually, and Grombrindal who sometimes kicks ass, but they both tend not to kill malekith. There's room there for probably another 2 easy.

>>527494004
I noticed this too in my Elspeth game it took 15 turns just to get to the next closest legendary lord.(Vlad) Unless you count Karl who starts right next to you.

>>527494004
It's hard to fill in those spots without fucking up the Empire's mechanics. New Empire LL's are likely to just dominate on their own and won't require player intervention. New hostile LL's would take territory away from the Empire and put the player at a bigger deficit at the start (which I would be fine with, but Empirefags have clearly shown that they don't want to be challenged)
It's hard to find a middle ground, especially when campaigns are played at breakneck speeds and you can take the whole empire fairly quickly

Hot take: Slaanesh in this game is really just Khorne lite with a bit of magic. All of their units are melee focused (even Khorne has one ranged unit). They hit hard but unlike Khorne you have to pull them out or they die as they are glass cannons and their Devotion armies are just inferior versions of Khorne's Blood Hosts armies

>"chapter 1, take half of Cathay"

>>527498165
Slaanesh in Fantasy has always been even more melee-focused than Khorne. Go to 40k if you want Slaanesh ranged (which are also space marines so you must also be a marinefag to play them)

Depend on what you mean by "fans", people that like w40k without being autistic about it don't give much shit about space marines chapters and shit. Autistic military guys are all over guards and don't give much shit about space marines either.
It's only autistic retards that worship the emperor that care about space marines.
It's the same with chaos, only complete spergs that will argue chaos in more of an existential threat than tyranids or orks actually care about them, for everyone else it's an NPC faction.

Let's say Wood Elves get Araloth as FLC. Obviously he would take over Talsyn faction being the Glade Lord of Talsyn. Where does Orion get moved to in that scenario? His forest in the old world map in Northern Bretonnia is not in-game so he can't go there.

>>527499987

??? that's my point most people are secondaries, if you pandering to "fans" you won't even sell a million copies. This is also why TWW40k is doomed, the initial release will be great but after that marinemanii DLCs will bomb because only autists like you will buy them, and you're just vocal minority.

I hate marines but Primaris niggers alone probably sold more than all other models combined and secondaries are in love with marines specifically when it comes to 40k, they also like orkz, nids, chaos demons and chaos marines as fodder and elite enemies but they don't really think about the rest at all and see marines as the protagonists, they'll buy chapters. If TW 40k sells it will be marines that sell it because normalfags and tableslop players alike love best of the best giga supersoldiers stereotypes.

>>527496296
>the fuck do they do all day
The rest are developing at least three games that we know of. I like making fun of CA's poor output just like everyone else but believe it or not if one part of a studio is working on something that they're allowed to openly talk about, the rest are likely working on something they cannot talk about. People here can be so retarded sometimes.

letting araloth recruit grail knights is actually a good idea especially since he becomes their god in their end times replacing his wife the lady

>>527501375
kurnous and isha are playable so why not asuryan?

>>527501375
Asuryan is technically split. He is partly Araloth and partly Malekith after Malekith becomes Eternity King uniting all the Elves. Kinda like how Sigmar's soul was split into 3 with part of being Valten, another part in the comet, and another part in the winds of magic that got freed by the incarnates. Once all 3 parts remerged he was able to be reborn.

>>527500870
All SM2 dlcs underperformed because most people don't care about specific chapters, and this isn't limited to that one game, every video game that sell chapters see them selling poorly. The same shit will happen with TWW40k, people willing to play Space Marines won't give a shit about their color, they will play whatever is in base game then move on, because 40k doesn't actually have the staying power any fantasy does, cool tanks just aren't as cool as cool dragons.

All the other characters hyped up to be this super ebin saviors/giga assholes are like wheat before the harvest.

When is Valten coming?

Replaying Medieval 2 it feels so fucking sluggish and shitty if they remastered it kept the graphics but fixed the terrible gameplay and camera i'd buy it desu

>>527503059
he never beat skarsnik dough

>>527503206
No Norsca sucks

>>527503321
Tumor weeks

>>527503321
Is Valten the only blonde human legendary lord canonically?

>>527503324
99.999999% chance it is one of the two Warhammer games in December. Especially after the success of Feral Interactive's Rome Total War 1 remaster.

>>527503321
He's the flc in the Thanquol dlc

>>527503369
Archaon kind of forgot about Skarsnik

>>527503440
>Especially after the success of Feral Interactive's Rome Total War 1 remaster
lol it sold like shit

>>527503472
>gw angry an author tries to bring closures to forgotten character

>>527503501
Allegedly has sold almost 2 million copies in its lifetime which is much better than the original release which was only 380k.

>>527503440
I dont even give a shit if they dont add anything new or remaster graphics fuck it dont even the two handed bug but have the game not play like dog ass and i'd call it a good remaster desu

>>527503634
I don't know about any allegedlies but based on the actual hard data I have from steamcharts it had even less concurrent players on launch than ToB.

>>527502858
NTA. Even if that's the case, the dlcs underperformed because they only sell cosmetics, the specific chapters sold in potential TW:40k would play differently because they'd have different campaign mechanics, CA would probably sell them Champions of Chaos style, 4in1 or something. IMO that would be enough to guarantee decent sales.

>>527503321
Funny enough Tariff made a video when he found files added in Thrones of Decay DLC patch hinting that Valten is going to be the final DLC lord for the next Empire DLC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b3wZ5Kh-Iw

He has a pinned comment of where to find the file if you want to look for yourself.

>>527503324
The sluggishness is great, I hate the camera but the units have so much weight to them, there's a real push and pull feel to Rome and Med 2 combat, especially sieges, that's completely missing from the later games.

>>527475949
>>527475035
The Trojans and Romans should make an alliance.

>>527504132
>He has a pinned comment of where to find the file if you want to look for yourself.
I did. It is actually in the files with the text about him....which is very odd and I have no idea why CA would put that in the files. It isn't in the Thrones of Decay DLC patch though.

does creamAPI still work for you guys

>>527504887
yeah

I want to try a Nurgle campaign as Epidemius. Does Nurgle have access to any legendary heroes or are they all exclusive to Tamurkhan?

>>527503321
>>527504132

Realistically who is left in the Empire that can work with the combination of units they have left? He is the only that makes sense for the final DLC that includes celestial hurricanum, Ulric units, and anything else they want to add like Kngihts Panther or Reiksguard infantry. At least you know his mechanics are going to be unique as fuck.

>>527505340
I always figured if/when Toddy is made a full fledged faction it would be as an FLC lord, he leads Middenland and most of his units are reskins of current Empire units like the Knights Panther and Knights of the White Wolf replacing the Reiksguard and Empire Knights, the Teutogen Guards replacing the Greatswords, the Wolf-kin replacing the flagellants etc with small differences in stats and effects.

>>527405356 (OP)
>Tide of Torment teaser
How much longer do they expect me to stay teased?

>>527505817
And also the Ar-Ulric as a Middenland Legendary Hero.

LL: Valten
LH: Luthor Huss
Lord: High Priest of Ulric
Hero: Priest of Ulric
Unit 1: Celestial Hurricanum
Unit 2: Reiksguard Infantry
Unit 3: Teutogen Guard
Unit 4: Knights of the White Wolf
Unit 5: Hunting Hounds
FLC: Knights Panther plus Boris Todbringer. Boris can swords of Ulric RoR and Knights panther units.

This is assuming Wizard Lords and halflings come with Dogs of War.

Second idea
LL: Valten
LH: Luthor Huss
Lord: Wizard Lord(Halfling version?)
Hero: Master Chef
Unit 1: Celestial Hurricanum
Unit 2: Halfling Hotpot
Unit 3: Mannan's Blades
Unit 4: Knights Panther
Unit 5: Hunting Hounds
FLC: Boris Todbringer with wolf-kin as reskinned flagellants. Plus Teutogen Guard and Knights of the White Wolf which both require unique animations. ar-Ulric as FLC LH and use the same voice actor for the new Ulric units to save money.

Lazy Traits should not exist since some faction garrisons are trash and need supplemented.

will there be a Bretonnia DLC?

>>527510648
I don't think it makes much sense either, like, what, is every single soldier and general in existence who has ever been stationed at a military base or city a lazy ass? Are we supposed to think they're in active service and still get to just sit around at work and sleep off the days? No personal training, no drills, no patrols?

>>527510896
There are rumours that Bretonnia will receive an FLC lord in Araby.

>>527510896
No, only mechanics rework/update with possible new FLC lord.

Total War games that are genuinely good:
1. All of them! Taste is subjective and you should never allow another Anon to tell you what is and what is not enjoyable.

>>527511582
Even Thrones of Britannia?

>>527511582
i don't like shogun 1

>>527511085
Even if the soldiers are, garrison duty is in some respects harder than managing an army on the march. Bored soldiers are dangerous soldiers.

>>527511582
what about accredited youtubers like pixelatedapollo and lefendoftotalwar, surely professionals like them can tell me if a game is objectively good or not

>>527512137
If youtube "personalities" told me that shit tastes bad, I would try it myself to be sure

>>527512310
you would try shit?

>>527512137
