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!

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?
>>527406407Is Pharoah worth getting? The reviews are bad, the game seems abandoned, but it's cheap and the setting interests me.
>>527406032wouldn'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?

>>527406407wh2 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
>>527406775Most 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."
>>527406826Everybody 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 badgame 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.

>>527406995>>527407172Fair enough I might get it then
>>527407679Do 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
>>527407839Because 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
>>527407969Norsca, 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?
>>527408071you already have crane gunners what more do you need?
>>527407969Vlad is easy to kill.

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?
>>527408953Honestly 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.
>>527409282Make 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
>>527409282Li 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.
>>527409882Pissing me off
>>527408650you 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
>>527409882Use 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.

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

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.
>>527411907Does 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>>527410959isn'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?

>>527386515I 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
>>527387887I 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
>>527415564Because he stands to profit at least 5k from that deal. Truly smartest rat.
>>527414450The 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?
>>527415564i love that even of you are friendly with the skaven they still sound like they want to kill you
>>527416140Sounds like the Dark Elves
>>527415657>I dont think the dark elfs are an issue, if you have issues fighting themI 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
>>527416457Sorry, 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
>>527416979Salamanders 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?

>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

>>527417878Definitely 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:
>>527419007Honestly, 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.

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

It's okay, it's a learning experience, I almost want to get finished off now so I can start again.
>>527422667You 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.

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.

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.
>>527431613Skaven need that navigation buff too, Lustria belongs to Pestilens yes-yes
>>527431993Skaven can use it to sail right up to the temple
Tehen awaits.
Not much interest in discussing historical Total War games?
>>527431993This, skaven needs a rework and at least three more DLCs to be even remotely finished.

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.
>>527431613Lustria 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.

>>527440263lmao 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.

>>527440519I 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 WolvesThey 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).

>>527440505>I hope Smurfs aren't the only launch marine faction and we get something like Black Templars or Dark Angels or WolvesIf 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.

>Moot>Nordland>Laurelon Forest>Wasteland>Talabecland>Averland>Moot>Solland>Southern Grey Mountains>Black MountainsAll those areas have no legendary lords in them. The Empire needs to add Boris and some actual enemies. Egrimm should go in there somewhere.
>>527438131Not if you can stack them. The Bret building that gives factionwide armor is great because of that.
>>527439630All 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.
>>527443868Empire could do all the following:
>Boris Todbringer>Valten>Halfling Lord in Moot>Another Wood Elf in the Woold Elf Forest>Thanquol>EgrimmThey 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.

>>527431163Imo Yin-Yin should have Serpent Estuary because like other siblings she'd be then responsible for the whole side of the country.
>>527447501I play on normal difficulty and Armoured Kossars have never let me down.
>>527447713>normalYeah theyre fine there, I just dont field them on my average Kislev playthrough because Kossars have better range
>>527447501I 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.

>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 immunityI 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.

Total War Pharaoh is actually a very good current historical total war game.
>>527464510is the only current historical game
>>527464510it's pretty good but every time I play it I get bored by turn 10 because there's no magic or monsters or guns
>>527464510Unit 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.
>>527464510It's far better than Legend(whom didn't play it) gave it credit for.
>>527464623Not 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.

>>527464510>>527468665I 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.
>>527469630It's Bronze Age Total War.
>>527469630Similar 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>>527469920Is it fun? only 15 bucks atm but lots of negative reviews and the positive reviews have less than 1 hour play time
>>527470057You'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.
>>527470057I 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: 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
>>527471072what time period would it take place in?
>>527471072Elder 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.
>>527471072It 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?
>>527471719Unless 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.
>>527441871Just 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.
>>527471072you 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
>>527472063There 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.

>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?

There's no reason you couldn't have separated provinces, it makes about as much sense as Warhammer doing it.

>>527490761>Omens of Destruction released in 2024Holy fuck, and I didn't' even buy that shit.
>>527492109Why? The entire area is empty with no legendary lords at all. One of the most empty of the entire game.

>>527484335Not 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
>>527492550Yeah, they just barely squeezed it out in time.
>>527488068Repantsu my beloved...
>>527444521>>527444836i 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.
>>527494004It also has to do with the old world being more thought about when designing the areas.
>Rivers and bridges making natural walls>TablelandLike, 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.
>>527494004I 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.
>>527494004It'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

>>527505340I 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.

How about excommunication? Venetian is catholic. I can only attack Muslims, right!
Does Malakai just get to keep Felix and Gotrek?
>>527519995you can get around that by attacking non-Catholics or by kissing the Pope's ass hard enough
also excommunication ends if your faction leader dies and or the pope dies, so it's not a permanent debuff for the rest of the game
>>527519995Other path: attack Catholic, pope says please be nice guys, be nice for a while, attack Catholics again.
>>527519995Just Minecraft the pope whenever he gets pissy about attacking neighbors
>>527520251Yes, and so does any faction now. Now they operate like Lord Kroak, where Malakai gets them the whole game, while other factions need their LL to reach a certain level then get a battle quest and afterwards you just keep them forever.

You people are delusional, they're obviously doing 40k AND Med3/Renaissance/Emp2 because these are absolute sure to sell like hot cakes.
Hell people forgot about the survey they had with these games in it? 40k and med3 were probably the most asked above all else.
>>527522230>They literally have all the races assets from fantasy to just tweak and upgradeNever thought of it in this way, knowing CA they would absolutely reuse those assets in some manner, no way they would just let all that work rot away in the fantasy trilogy.
>>527521292>Hello guys, loremaster of Sotek here!
>>527522230The problem with med3 is that CK3 have a way better campaign than CA could ever hope for, and the game WILL be compared to CK3
The battles can only carry it so far
As for assets in 40k, chaos daemons are practically the same, and skeletons are virtually already in place for orks, eldar, imperial guards, tau, votann, dark eldar
Necrons would need a little bit of adjustments and tyranids would need new skeletons, marines could theoretically use chaos warriors skellies
So yeah. 40k could dish content very fast

If that was the case MP would be more popular
>>527520835Ok anon I will give you a chance of trying to sell me or any other secondary fan that made TWW successful a DLC pack that I could find worth buying.
Just assume that the base game will be some generic Cadians, Dark Angels, Blood Axes and Hive Leviathan.

>Is the DLC necessary?100%
I would also add that Festus has a more interesting starting position than all of the actual demons.
>>527527261Champions of Chaos dlc is necessary because it gives Nurgle around 10 new units, including cavalry which is needed for him.
Tamurkhan is one of the strongest LLs in the game, and also comes with strong units, but Ku'gath isn't a bad choice if you don't want to buy the dlc. It's a slow start but once you have a good powerbase you can expand pretty easily as him.
Generally as Nurgle you need to rely on characters and nurglings early on, and build as many military buildings as possible to get a large pool of recruitable units. Plagues are second priority, they are good to have but aren't that useful for the most part compared to being able to recruit better units.

>>527531454Stonehorns are so cool I keep using them even after the Thundertusk got added.
>>527530987the AI's tendency to just bumrush the closest city entrances makes them surprisingly easy to outflank, which works a lot better in games where you don't have lords/heroes to simply stat-check entire armies of lower-tier units

>>527531938>""goth"" girls no longer existIt just became a choice of fashion with zero baggage, like every other music subculture of the past.
Not even CA knows who the 3rd LL is
>>527531938Goth has just been absorbed and assimilated by online thots, it's lost all meaning as a fashion statement and is now just a fetish for safehorny manchildren.
>>527532345I cannot wait for the reveal, /twg/ will be in flames because only one side can win, it's gonna be Helves, Cathay or Counts with Coast as the darkest of horses.
>>527531910I have been doing the same thing. Spearmen at the front and then two-handed troops and maybe an archer to flank.

Lots of historical Total War games are on sale at this very moment.
Rome 2 is 75% off and the base game includes a fair few factions. I recommend it if you have a historical itch.
>>527533530I already own every single Total War, all of their DLC's and have bought multiple copies of the better ones for my friends.
I have also bought Alien: Isolation and Halo Wars 2, I have played Total Spartan Warrior on PS2. I pre-order everything. I was even going to play and support Hyenas out of love for TCAL. I am their strongest soldier. Grace love around the world !
>>527533359Regulations say they don't come at larger sizes, guess she will have to face the consequences sooner or later.
>>527533858Thank you! It is thanks to diligent Anons such as yourself that we will be receiving another historical Total War.
>>527533858Alien: Isolation is a genuinely good game

>>527534416>it can get very irritating on hard mode where the AI just cheatsAh a TCAL staple.
>>527532829wait until we get total war aos, we will get an influx of futa art.
