https://strawpoll.com/X3nkPpqLjgE

>>528613420
>>Dechala/Sayl the Faithless/Thanquol
Thanquol is not that soon, friend. Neferata is the 3rd faction. It is known.

poor guy, he's all tuckered out

threadly reminder to stop cheating
>stop using mods that give you advantages
>stop corner camping
>stop hero stacking
>stop abusing ai
>stop stacking campaign buffs to give your t1 units 80 md
>stop abusing diplomacy

>>528613420
>Ushoran
Any DLC that adds Neferata's brother and Khalida's other cousin is okay in my book.

>>528613734
I need a nap like that

I havent played Rome 2 in years. Thinking of going back in. Am i setting myself up for bad times?

>>528613838
>stop using mods that give you advantages
I am going to keep using mods until CA adds missing core units/lore important legendary characters from certain races that are missing them.

>>528613420
It's going to be vampires as the third race for tides

>>528613420
>more empire shit
no thanks

>>528613420
>more empire KINO
thank you CA

>>528613420
i just realized the dlc is called tides of torment and the skaven are the vermintide and that grey seer thanquol's colours are grey/black...wtf?

>>528613932
Yes, but you should anyway

>>528613420
Slaanesh
>Dechala-Sayl-Crom(Because it would be funny as fuck if the black was Crom and having two Kurgans in one DLC that is 3 chaos factions.)
Throw in Styrkaar as FLC I guess.

Dogs of War DLC
>Borgio-Lucrezzia-Marco
Egrimm goes here I guess.

Cathay CoC style
>Li Dao-Monkey King-Yin-Yin-Shen-Zoo
FLC is Thanquol and stormfiends FLC unit.

Final DLC
>Valten-Nagash-Neferata
Boris Todbringer AND Red Duke FLC. Since their models and animation are done the least they can do is give both at once.

>>528612143
Whats the special fire priest with the red icon? never seen that in an ogre campaign?

>>528614892
Isn't that just a Firebelly?

>>528612143
How'd you take out the Blunderbussies with only 1 loss?

>>528614892
A Legendary hero by the name of Gragtar Flameheart from SCM Might of the Maw
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3502513595

>>528615118
Just rushed them, only archers were on the walls, one blunderbuss was on an encampment and I just went around him, the other I rushed into melee.

>>528615697
Gragtar with his unique skills for the purpose of display

>>528615827
is 5% even enough to reduce the cost of any spell

>>528615903
I don't believe so, however 15%...

>>528613932
No, be sure to get the DEI mod

>>528613420

IKR. Between them and the OVN team, I'll never run out of content.

>>528613980
your armored slayers and chosen of sigmar are not "core units" you cheating scum

>>528615697
Heh, I'm sure to win because of my superior speed ;)

What's a good faction to learn how to better play the game on the battle map? While I'm basically competent, I'm not at the point where I feel like I do better than the auto resolve in most cases. I know I'll need to practice with individual factions as well but I'm looking for a starter faction to build more battlefield confidence

>>528619108
Skaven ratling copters and Ogre ironguts (ironfist) are very important

>>528619173
GOOD LORD...
I know what I'm doing after I'm satisfied with my Greasus campaign... I had chocked that faction up as meh... I was CLEARLY wrong.

>>528619195
Kislev, Empire, High Elves, Dwarves, Chaos Dwarfs, High Elves and Dark Elves are good for different varieties of balanced/varied army compositions.

>>528619195
I'd say empire. If you git gud at combined arms faction you'll git gud elsewhere as well. Of course that implies you use proper armies and not shitstacks of 19 archers like some balding faggots recommend.

>>528619195
Skaven (Clan Molder), Ogres, and Throgg.
Learn how to monsterous infantry rush properly and slaughter all those in your path.

>>528619195
Bretonnia

>>528619409
>monsterous infantry rush
Explain pls

>>528619351
While archers are great even high elves get a melee unit meant for early flanking. If I was going to range heavy I would spam skirmish infantry and cav

>>528619571
he means select all your units and right click the enemy while fast forwarding

>>528619571
It's like a slightly less micro obsessive version of chariots.
If you learn how to use monsterous infantry, you can learn chariots. Once you learn chariots, you can learn cav.
It's the same way how dark elves can teach bow/spear which allows you to learn how to use guns as well.

>>528619720

news today?

>>528619195
turin recommends tomb kangs because they have every type of unit to use but are also all unbreakable so you don't have to worry about rallying units. more important than faction though is having the mindset to actually engage with all of the game's mechanics and not bypass them all with cheating. you might win battles by corner camping and dropping vortex spells on the ai while it gets stuck on terrain, but you won't learn shit about actually playing the game.

>>528619807
So with something like crypt horrors you should almost treat them as cavalry and get them to charge in flanking, then retreat and repeat? I never know what to do with them and they end up dying quickly.

>>528619950
Yea here's some news: You're a fag!

>>528612363 (OP)
The game is nearly over. Only myself and the Huns left. Gonna declare war on them tomorrow and commit a last stand.

Why are they so zesty?

For ze lady

>>528612363 (OP)
Did a short dwarf campaign just before 6.2 patch. Fun stuff, haven't been playing Thorgrim since the end of the first game

H-how do I move my entire army in formation without having to do it all over again for each unit

>>528621741
Group them and then click the padlock

>>528616806
>DEI
Rome was woke...

>>528621837
diversity, equity and inclusion are all latin words, you might be on to something...

>>528621687
Too bad that I took too few screenshots, some of the battles were really fierce (looking at you, you fucking skaven fucks, with their 4 stacks, half-filled with slaves or other chaff)

>>528622001
Didn't had time to play with some new toys, either from the DLC or from mods (I was too slow with those depths)

>>528621741
Hold alt and drag.

>>528622350
I'll have to try to rebuild Karaz Ankor one more time, maybe this time I won't get blindsided by an update

>>528622001
That's a steep hill

Meow or crackhead? Never did a proper China campaign before

>>528623737
I think crackhead is easier
Meow isn't hard exactly but you have to quickly push south to clear out the orc/rat mountains not fuck around with the bastion initially

>>528623737
Meow.

News in 2 mins.

https://youtu.be/Fa2irrYK09w?t=24

>>528623737
meow every time
crackhead is basically useless as a faction since all his good stuff is tied to the lord which you can get as meow from confederation

Alith Anar is a lot easier with the new AI changes, kinda depressing ngl i love how much of a clusterfuck his start was

TT caps or unit caps for all?

well fuck you too

NEW PATCH!

>>528626036
Wtf man I was just installing my mods

>>528626503
most mods should still be fine with this update

>>528624529
Dont use "minor factions potential". That just makes AI fight itself.

>>528628183
the game is more dynamic and interesting when the ai fights itself thoughbeitfully

ORC BOAR BOYS __ _ ____ _____ ___

thats katarin in the bag
maybe its time for lustria kino next since i did meow and drazhoath earlier aswell

>they just confirmed the third faction is skaven
It's so fucking over...

>>528628183
nobody forces you to pump it to 200 bro just give them extra 100 to be about on par with major factions
minor factions still die but the game is not an autoresolve simulator right away

>>528628570
if you play anything other than the lizardmen then be prepared to be disappointed, Lustria is ran by warmbloods these days

>>528626036
yawn and snore, respectively.

40k waiting room

Can't wait to start another Ultramarines campaign.

>>528620896
>>528621015
the fuck did you do to Europe?

>>528626036
what are the warriors of chaos battle changes they mentioned?

>>528592849
This game needs this type of AI because it's mostly played in pvp.
The AI still has a pretty low ceiling in skirmish though and in campaigns because of the different variables it can also get "cheats" either by having access to higher age or more resources.
>>528593232
I know that you can make AI that will defeat every human ever. My point was that the difficulty is there to test player against more and more unfair advantage with an obvious reachable goals and AI limits, otherwise if we had this perfectly balanced adapting AI in the game that is perfectly designed towards you, you'd have 50/50% win rate against it forever and I doubt many people want that.

>>528629095
Pretty good for a hotfix desu.

>>528629413
Remember when Kairos could just outright steal a settlement from you and the complaints were so loud we will never get anything like this again

regarding Khorne. Should his provinces be full human/demon buildings or a mix?

>>528629891
depends on what you choose for the main provincial capital building

>>528629967
Playing Arbaal for the first times so Mortal focus, but should any of the minor settlements be demonic or should provinces not be mixed?

>>528630034
it's fine to be mixed, really once you get the ball rolling you should just choose based on what heroes you want to increase the cap of

>>528630106
thanks!

>>528629698
I think right now he can only steal settlements from AI.

>>528630034
Not unless you really want the hero.

If you mix mortal and daemonic settlement main buildings while playing as Arbaal.

You will die in real life. And so will your family. Your city. And your country.

Where is Astragoth heading? He's not at war with anyone

>>528630347
Be patient with me, I'm not used to Khorne.

Update from the anon with long loading times now CA is telling me to reinstall drivers why not just tell me "we have no idea why lol sorry" that'd be more courteous than giving me bullshit fixes

One can only hope that Sofia will release either a patch or a hotfix every week.

>>528630507
post rig stats

This meat bicycle has more polygons than the entire Vampire Coast faction.

>>528630665
My issue is that my loading times going into campaign have increased probably doubled AFTER 6.2 it loaded fast before 6.2

>We had one extra Unique tier item we planned to add that didn’t quite make it into 6.2: The Chalice of Malfleur. The Chalice is an arcane item that offers a huge trade-off to a caster - can you overcome its huge miscast penalties to benefit from its powerful rewards?
Here is your Bretonnia rework

>>528630732
works fine on my machine tho, so

>>528630732
How much free disk space do you have?

What is the % of getting a purple item from fusing two blue ones? I've never manged it but I don't wanna save-scum

>>528630875
90gb
>>528630807
whats weird is that my battle loading times have decreased like drastically

>>528630992
hmm... try updating drivers

>>528630507
Was there ever any case in history where updating drivers fixed performance issues?

>>528630937
From what people tested around 1 in 10, possibly lower and only if unique items haven't been claimed yet - only one specific unique item can exist at any given time in the game and if enemy has it, you need to steal it instead.

Reminder that Yin Yin army is coming!

>JTY: The second Arcane Journal will be released alongside Miao Ying and the individual releases from the Cathayan Battalion, but there are no other unrevealed units scheduled. It’s a very narrative journal – we focus on how Chaos is affecting Grand Cathay and what makes the Storm Dragon decide to travel to the Old World. We discuss Cathayan connections between east and west – hinting at the antagonisms between the Jade Fleet and the Elves of Ulthuan – and the continuing war in Westerland.
>It also includes additional rules on terrain generation, occupying buildings, and multiplayer rules, as well as a load of scenarios. We follow this up with an Army of Infamy for Grand Cathay, the Jade Fleet, which is allowed to take a number of Empire of Man units as Mercenaries – the kind of force that’s battling back against the Chaos incursion at this time. We round it out with yet more Magic Items.

I updated my BIOS when my game kept crashing, and then it stopped crashing after it was updated. Careful though if you do so, for it may brick your PC.

>>528631327
Interesting. And I'm guessing retarded CA didn't give us a way to see if the item alredy exists?

>gooners want yin-yin because le airheaded bimbo who is clumsy and cute
>will be nothing like their headcanon when it releases and they will be mad because of schizophrenia

>>528631219
there's been plenty of cases where it makes them either worse or just straight up unplayable I remember when a nvidia driver released that just made Monster Hunter Wilds just crash non stop and the only fix was to revert that shit is fucking crazy to me

>>528630463
ai will prioritorize occupying ruins at any cost if there's nothing to fight around them
can be used to mess with them a lot with ambushes etc, or, when not at war, assaulting them while they're marching like mad

>>528631398
No. We need to cry at Sofia to give as ability to trade items via diplomacy.

>>528631762
I wish this worked with Skaven ruins. Would be hilarious to lure the ai into your Skaven Empire and ambush them

>yin yin is aqua!!
>releases and she's obese with that side shave haircut

>>528631887

>>528631887

This is serious business, there's no time for woke when billions of chinkbuxx are on the line.

>>528631717
One time AMD update made Darkest Dungeon play worse (fps drops) because of some opengl libraries inside. We got official AMD fix for that like half a year later.

instead of a 6-pack, yin-yin will have 6 tits - and also 5 penises

penises coming out of her TITS

Warriors of Chaos are getting nerfed in the next hotfix.

>>528632774
we've already discussed this topic, the side shaved was popular 10 years ago but for some reason character designers obsess with it, it's really a dogwhistle that signals shitty progressive writing and game design
Cyberpunk I think is the only game that did it and it was successful, saints row put it front and centre and it killed the studio, seems like VtM Bloodlines 2 is going that same route
I am not at all surprised Age of Sigmar has it in abundance

and yes, I plan on recruiting a wizard too
you can't stop me, khorne lets me do what I want as long as I let him hit

Challenge: Play Khorne and only fight battles by grouping all of your units and clicking on the enemy frontline.

>>528633674
Its mostly the model painter crowd.

>>528626036
>>528629379
Hopefully CA rethinks the Warriors of Chaos fortresses. The mechanic is fun the first few times around, but because of it everyone plays roughly the same and is incentivised to expand in exactly the same direction. If you don't go North as Festus, you basically only get 3 fortresses, same with Vilitch. At this point I think every major city should be a fortress, just reduce the incomes or something.

It's just a very comfy, bashy faction to play after some shit like Khalida

ngl, instead of Votann GW should have just gave us space china and made squats a single unit in IG
>inb4 Tau
Tau is not asian, that was a meme due to how anime the mechas felt

Trade and economy should be a much bigger part of future Total War titles.

I'm noticing a lot of map features that allows you to "corner camp" fairly. Especially in Cathay, Ogres and Kislev maps.

And meanwhile HEs suffer from their own forests.

>>528631887
>she's obese with that side shave haircut
they already saw how the chinks chimped out with 3K women so they wont be making that mistake again

>>528635680
They should've given us space skaven
Oh wait that's the Imperium lol

>>528635691
It is in Pharaoh. But you didnt support that game so we will be getting dumb-down 40kslop.

>>528635680
Imperial Squats are significantly cooler than sloptann

>>528635691
Pharaoh and 3K both had significantly more developed trade and both got abandoned, it's clear what the fanbase wants is a more streamlined campaign

ENOUGH with the age of shitmar ugly dyke posting!

>>528637270
Teclis is crippled but still taller than Karl Franz.

>>528636847
Votann are cool, they just need way more units.

I think Ogres are really cool

Now that the dust has settled, was the Warriors of Chaos rework a good one? I haven't been able to get into them since doing a few campaigns in 2022. Not being able to recruit elite units seems quite annoying.

>>528638120
It's been my most played race since the rework, and they are very popular, but a lot of people don't like them so it's not for everyone
they have a lot of goals you can continuously work towards even in the late game, and they have more army variety than most factions, plus they are very good at what they do
the warband mechanic can be sped up quite a bit in the late game, but for the most part it's just there to make your armies feel more valuable compared to other horde factions like the beastmen, as well as slow you down a bit

>>528638120
>Not being able to recruit elite units
You can get fucking Aspiring Champions before turn 5 wtf are you talking about?

>>528638976
How? As I said I haven't played them since 2022.

There won't be a Shogun 3 because its scale is too diminutive.

Playing old Chaos sucked, but in a way it was a lot cooler when ordertide still happened regularly. Now I often hit up major order centres and find that they've jobbed to some other Chaos cunt or force of evil already.
Ulthuan tends to hold alright but I'm sure that will change with the new DLC as well.

>>528639253
Shogun will be joined into Renaissance historical game as an expansion. Hope you like it.

>>528639236
Every region has a 5% chance to have an aspiring champion available for recuitment.
Also you don't have to disband and replace units for more elite ones, as long as mmarauuders have enough chevrons you can upgrade them.

There will be a Shogun 3 because yari ashigaru are sovlful.

>>528639236
the chance for them to be replenished in the recruitment pool is random but based on corruption
if you visit a place with 100 chaos undivided corruption u can snag them easily, not guaranteed, but u can always hover over and see what units are available before commiting to schmove there

>>528639414
I'm going to get excecuted for saying this, but we need more powercreep reworks so every race is more or less on the same power level. Right now Dwarfs and Cathay, and sometimes Kislev are the only order factions which can become a large threat, and what they all have in common is they all have a rework recently

Brother

>>528635436
its actually incredible how ubiquitous that hairstyle is in slop media and how effective of a red flag it is for something being dogshit, and I say this as someone who is not socially conservative

>>528639253
I want Shogun 3 to be a Samurai Warriors esque Total War all about the heroes, much like 3k.
The Japs have been waxing poetically about the romanticized exploits of the Sengoku era daimyos for hundreds of years up to our present day but in Shogun 2 they were all literalwho generalmanii who played the exact same way and had nothing going on in even in terms of flavour.

Giants are cool and every race in the game should have them :)

>>528639780
My Tzarina! A new variant of Kossar has arrived!

>>528639710
every race being brought up to Skulltaker's level of horseshit might be a way to recapture some of the difficulty the campaign used to have in Warhammer 2

>>528639780
damn.....

I'd love some more personality involved in each leader and some more indepth factional diplomacy mechanics like 3K so you can truly represent cool things like the Oda-Tokugawa alliance but I'm gonna have to say no on the over the top one man army shit. The Japanese themselves have developed more realistic strategy games involving sengoku generals so I hope they'd be okay with that too.

I knew a tall lanky dude/short powerlifter woman couple and she basically buckbroke him to deeper and deeper levels until the relationship disintegrated - started domming him, then she was regularly using butt toys on him, would make "jokes" about cucking him in public and then try to lean on him to say he would be into it when he very clearly was uncomfortable (but too meek of a bitch to shut her down). Eventually she lost the last shreds of respect for him and he basically had a mental breakdown and trooned out.

They're a minor faction but some anon suggested Assyria to me a while back and they were certainly more fun than Tausret of Egypt, so avoid Egypt, go Assyria or Babylon.

>>528645712
The area where Moot/Averland/Solland/2 mountain regions. Is the single most empty area in the game. They could easily fit three lords there and wouldn't feel crowded.

HOW did CA get away with this description for the canaanite faction leader in modern israhell?

>>528646963
yeah! the current engine is trash for melee because it was made for empire and uses ranged logic for melee battles so they really should make empire 2 and then release medieval 3 on a new engine that actually works as it should. but we all know CA would never ever make smart choices.

If Valten is really the final legendary lord for Empire like the in game files hint. Where would he start?

>>528646796
not really sure why CA is so adamant on making the chaos factions all so insanely fucking braindead OP. WoC, beastmen, the monogods are all fucking ridiculous. Chorfs can be a little sketchy early game before you get a few provinces going and are stuck with hobgob shitstacks and the demon prince is just a poorly designed piece of shit faction but the rest have literally zero challenge to them, possibly the most boring factions to play in game. even Norsca is a joke ever since their economy was reworked for 3, their roster is just boring and the campaign is barebones.

I am still extremely upset about Gorbad getting in over Gorfang the ruler of Black Crag I don't think I will ever get over it. It triggers an autistic rage in me that I didn't know I had.

>>528649232
mods NOW!

is ca ever going to release character only packs? there are so many lore important characters still missing because they keep adding literally who characters. it feels wrong to be missing main characters like a araloth, kurt, and nefereta when characters like dechala and helman ghorst are somehow getting in.

>>528649462
Are there even any mods that add him? If hey do does Gorbad get moved so Gorfang can have Black Crag?

>>528649670
I think that CA prompted content creators to talk about character packs during their streams a few months ago.
No idea if CA is still interested but I guess that time will tell.

>>528649670
How do you add Araloth to the game correctly? He is ruler of Talsyn and Orion stole his faction. Plus Araloth is married to the Lady of Brettonia so it would be awkward if he fought Brettonia. Even more awkward wh n he literally becomes their god in the end times and brings a bunch of greil knights with him into the pocket realm to survive the end times

Is Khorne supposed to make you angry?
I hate that nothing makes money so settlement upgrades are only good for unit buildings which are the only building type worth building at all so you just constantly run negative and get by abusing sacking and battle money. There's no reason for them settlements at all, just make them a horde faction with moving bases.
You fight a lot and the units are cool for a while but every battle is the same and you cannot make any other type of army than the Khornemanii you start with, it's always just smashing into the enemy and you win or you lose.

Greenskins are memed as the ultimate pile of violence faction but they have a deep roster that allows for a lot of theming and messing around with all sorts of strats even if they can often win with the same strats but Khorne just has nothing. I can't really put my finger on it but I played Skarbrand and the Bloodthirster in Lustria before the DLC and I remember having more fun with both than I'm having with Arbaal now, I wonder what changed.

Its not even the minor factions, the major factions wont attack at all, I just barely got attacked by Belacuck as I had made it back to the donut to colonize and destroy N'Kari, then as I finished him up it seems like Valkia and Grombrindal have just barely been destroyed so now the Dark Elves are waging a war against me while I have a defensive alliance with 3 of the strongest factions (Tyrion, Alarielle and Eltharion) its about to be a bloodbath for them

CA doesn't need to do present Warhammer. They can do campaigns set long in the past or historical characters. Some like Azhag were already dead for years in present Warhammer so it's not like they don't do that already.

>>528655245
High Elves only have three units left and therefore make no sense getting DLC in the current format and people who say they should just add variants so they can force them into a DLC they don't fit into with a lord who is a literal who over 3 remaining better options with tabletop minis are retards. High elves should just get a rework with skycutters and Caradryan LL FLC. Throw Merwym in Dogs of War dlc since lots of races can use it.

It just wouldn't, Eorzea's not at war within itself, nor could the beast tribes from cohesive rosters

I don't have a problem with this if it is applied to order races. Bretonnians probably wouldn't think it was very honourable to sack an Empire or High Elf settlement.
Doesn't make much sense applied to the Skaven, Greenskins, or Beastmen and the like. Why would any Bretonnian care if a lord sacked one of those settlements?

>>528661886
It needs to be 3 LlL AND 3 LH for me to buy it.

Has there been many campaigns where you don't start beside grimgor that he's died early? 90 turns into a meow campaign and I'm watching this dude beatback gelt, ghorst, and drazoth over what was greasus' land when he was alive and he's winning

Daily reminder that this is a Yuan Shu board, straw mat makers and half brothers sired from housemaids not welcome.

>>528662545
>half brothers sired from housemaids
Which one is this

>>528662662
In real life it was considered unchivalrous to ransom. If you were chivalrous you put your opponents in house arrest and let them go for free once the war ended.

>>528661920
it should outsmart me instead, so I can still cheese it because its too overpowered on higher difficulties because its too good
just like I play against chess bots and complain that I havent beaten them yet

>>528662885
What? Wasnt it the complete opposite? Especially seeing as the other option (In game) is to execute them

>>528662726
Yuan Shao, his mom wasn't even a concubine. He was eventually adopted by his father's older brother, so he went from being a bastard to becoming the next in line clan head, which obviously made Yuan Shu seethe at their reversal of fortunes.

>>528664623
Abhorash is an essential hero not a lord. He seems to be the hero most people are expecting for Nefereta's DLC if Red Duke is FLC. He should also be a usable hero for Brettonia as well.

guys, fantasy gits
I am asking you and respond to me honestly if you can
would you play total war age of sigmar if it was released instead of warhammer total war that was released?
do setting matter?

>>528668947
sieges have never been good
>but att-
nope
>but three kingdom-
nope

>>528669089
I would rather unironically play Rome 2

>>528669089
I would play it because its total war and definitely not because its age of sigmar
I find it a completely uninspired setting made to sell products first, be an actual setting second
It would probably not hold my attention

>>528634491
>secondaries
Tertiary or even maybe quaternary or worse
Secondaries are people who played Fantasy warhammer RPG, the pen and paper one
then there are people who played old closer to tabletop computer games like dark omen, etc

>>528669089
It would have to be an insane upgrade, like a convincing looking fierce battle down at the individual soldier level (instead of standing pretty passively as they do now)
So basically no nothing is going to get me to play that shit

>>528662481
I have never seen AI Grimgor get krumped by anyone else other than me.

>>528629413
the current ai difficulty settings suck because they don't actually present a challenge that forces you to play more skillfully, it just encourages you to cheat. realistically you can't beat an opponent who outvalues your army by 3x by "playing better." you either have to use your own cheats to counter the ai cheats or you have to count on the ai being too lobotomized to effectively use its advantages. a proper difficulty setting would make the game harder by making the ai recruit better army compositions and play less exploitably on the battle map, while also taking away cheats from the player.

>>528669728
This, the only people who find AoS appealing are the fags who are into the tableslop aspect. They love to salivate over the model quality and the improved ruleset that makes actual games of it kinda fun.
The setting, stories, aesthetics are all dogshit that fails to attract secondaries every time because anyone even remotely interested in Warhammer will instead gravitate towards 40k and even Fantasy which was literally dead in the dirt in terms of tabletop presence.

>>528669089
There are few things that I would call cringy, especially cringy enough to stay away from altogether.
AoS naming schemes are one of those things for me.
I'd die of embarrassment if I had to call my basic unit of swordsmen some stupid shit like 'Gallowroad Mournsteel'.
Or have to explain to people what Aelves or Orruks are.

He is founder of blood dragons bloodline but doesn't lead it or lead armies because he prefers being a noble knight in Brettonia saving people despite being a vampire. He is basically best friends with Green Knight since they share ideals and fight alongside each other in the end times against chaos. When he was mortal he was the bodyguard of Nefereta. Red Duke is a blood dragons vampire who was personally turned by Abhorash when he found him dying during the Brettonia crusade on Araby and decided to save him by turning him into a vampire.

I don't think anyone has ever argued that Attila or 3K had good sieges given that they also suffer from stupid pathfinding (though I did like the maps themselves in those games). Haven't played Shogun or Medieval 1, but I do think Shogun 2 had the best sieges because (despite the maps having stupid collision meshes, something that EVERY game had because CA manage to be consistent in being retarded) units could just climb over walls and burn down gates and stuff so the usual nonsense doesn't happen (as often).

>>528630151
He can steal settlements from the player but not if they're at war with him.

>>528670163
Yeah because they were incredibly easy, basically a free win for the player whether attacking or defending

Shit. 5 Turns later he declared war on me, he hasn't rocked my shit yet but I'm gonna need a lot more guns. I walked by with 3 full stacks of mid-game units when he was alone out of curiosity and I realized he had a full end-game stack of black orcs and spiders + the waagh stack. It would have been a pyrrhic victory with all the melee dead, and I almost feel like I wouldn't do better playing it out

>>528649232
Mixu's Legendary Lords does add him south of Gorbad, he specializes in Orc Big 'Uns and diplo with Greenskins, not much but he is there with a unique model at least.

>>528673403
He raped one of my Zhatan campaigns back when chorfs were new, Zhatan is my favourite of the 3 but next time I'm doing another campaign with him I'm probably gonna move my starting location or rush Grimgor because fuck that.

i'd rather play Adventure TIme Total War AoS looks like utter shit

>>528655532
I feel like this is only true if you are playing a hard start like Imrik or Teclis and even then they have the tools to deal with it
>early game has T0 archers that punch way above their class, almost Darkshard tier
>mid game, Silverin Guard will hold the line forever, Silver Helms are good cavalry, Sea Guard trades range for survivability in melee
>late game, Swordsman of Hoeth, Phoenix Guard, Sisters, Dragons and Archane Phoenix with healing
Not to mention their strong econ, strong Lord and Hero traits (once you can recruit them) and all their LLs are pretty powerful, only downside is theyre boring as fuck if not picking a harder start, their mechanics are so barebones

>>528674209
Yeah, I think if you're one of the factions close enough to rush him he's priority number 1 like the rats. Maybe I shouldn't be complaining though. Him and eshin are the only ones that actually make the cathayan siblings actually interesting rather than just purely comfy times

>>528675174
Weird post

>>528675349
I do always play one of those so that's probably why
I also like using low tier units with some elites sprinkled in and it seems the way you're expected to deal with a Chaos army barreling down on you is to just have all elites instead

wait when did they remove the tech to confed Repanse as Bretonnia wtf? I remember you could confed yourself as Repanse for some reason but when did they remove the general one?

>>528662481
Just did Yuan Shao campaign where after uniting Cathay Grimgor came at me... With nothing but Big Uns and Pump Wagons, owning entire 4 minor settlements. Most of the time he snowballs hard though
I prefer Grimgor snowballing to Chorfs though. Fighting ball of violence armies where ambushes are rewarded beats fighting "lmao enjoy Dreadquake barrages, Wrath of Zharr bombardments, Fireborn summons on top of your artillery + hundred Dreadquake/Blunderbuss/Infernal Ironbreaker stacks" any day

I am of the opinion that Total War: Warhammer 3 is the absolute best Total War game ever made.

Are we getting Slaanesh DLC this year?

>>528680463
Yes
See you in December

>>528680408
It's not even the best Total War Warhammer game.

>>528678416
Big variety, I can't pin any one race down
Maybe Lizardmen because they reward building provinces to completion but obviously they've fell massively behind by WH3
The closest I've got to Brets in least played is Khorne and Nurgle though

>>528680612
Total War Warhammer 1 is hors concours

>>528678313
Royal Hippo Knights are a kino as fuck doomstack but Bretonnia does feel pretty fucking rough for most of the early to mid campaign - which is the only time campaigns are interesting

What happens here?

>>528680612
Give one good reason to play 1 or 2

>>528681027
If you mean the really big ones I once tested them in the battle test mod and that has to be the roughest models in the entire game, looks shit next to anything new

>>528681263
Doesn't 2 have a better map to the west?

>>528681240
Elf orgies

>>528681263
They both have more interesting maps from a strategy perspective but they also look better as well. Warhams 3 only looks good on 4k monitors.

>>528681740
You could combine these two points by saying the disney looking settlement models are a downgrade from the smaller previous style
I still would never go back though

>>528681985
If you added some of the qol features like quick deals, balance agreements, adjusted the units a bit to make melee more viable, add Kislev which should've already been there then I would likely never play 3 again except to play chorfs. It probably wouldn't be too hard to bring the aforementioned to 2 but CA can't be arsed to give a fuck.

>>528655532
They're piss easy to play on the battlefield AND campaign, you can make a line of spearmanii, a line of archermanii, and set your lord in the middle and win most early game engagements without moving 90% of your army, while raking in cash because you have strong econ that gets stronger with good control, which you also have in abundance.

Rushdown factions still require decent micro against anything that comes close to your powerlevel and all of them have more involved campaign mechanics than the Helves. Khorne is undoubtedly more powerful than them but as much as people meme the campaign mechanics are fairly complex and playing optimally means fighting constantly, which requires making strong armies and knowing how to use them well.

>>528676953
Blame the game not having tabletop limits and for the tiered system, Archers and Sea Guard can still punch up well later down the line but they need more buffs from the red line and tech, both are good for when you have to make a quick army and Sea Guard stacks are pretty good. As for starting as Teclis and Imrik (alongside Alith Anar to a lesser extent) they are challenging because Imrik is a dragon focused LL, if you wanna dragon stack and want to finally make dragon princes worth the price you play as him, meanwhile Teclis is just a joke character at this point, hopefully a rework gives him something akin to Gelt's wizard mechanics because he needs it

CA Sofia fixed the battle ai somewhat. Was that mentioned in the patch notes?
>previously attacking an artillery unit in melee could make the crew stop manning it and they would never come back
>they'd become an useless melee unit
>now even if crew leaves after engagement, or even is terrored/routed away, as long as they regain leadership they will come back to man the artillery
Bulge Aryans, I kneel

>>528688092
Didn't see the notes but I noticed that in a Gelt run yesterday, based.

>>528684394
hence the "most" qualifier.
Sure if you throw the most heavily armored early game infantry in the game at an army who's weakness is low AP, they lose.

>>528687916
>Blame the game not having tabletop limits and for the tiered system
Multiplayer balance is great though, the problem is that campaign mechanics completely flip it all, you don't want chaff to be dead because of experience loss and re-recruitment, you don't want injured chaff because of replenishment (depending on faction), ranged is insane because ammo replenishment is instant, the game is fast paced so grinding down a campaign front with multiple armies like a 4X game isn't as good as constantly blitzing with an all elite army or a doomstack
The devs were strictly balancing multiplayer while throwing the rules out for campaign mechanics, to the point where the AI is barred from using most of them so they aren't too annoying

what are you supposed to do if your gelt mage stack runs into a khorne army with all 8 books

>>528688092
Yeah I saw dwarven artillery the other day just standing around like mongs doing nothing, good they've fixed it

>>528689616
Cycle charge them to death with the griffon gang since unless they stacked Bloodthirsters they'll have nothing to contest you in the air.

Exalted Bloodthirster or Daemon Prince of Khorne?

>>528689198

>>528691175

>>528691175

demon prince of khorne loses the regain movement upon winning battle or razing settlement, complete garbage

>>528691175
I don't like Daemon Princes much, the lords they upgrade from perform great anyway and look much cooler. The WoC Daemon Princes are better because they get two unique skills each (IIRC Slaanesh is income factionwide so they're super entrepreneurs), but Monogod Daemon Princes don't get those skills for some reason, so excluding Nurgle they don't have much of a point, and even in Nurgle's case it's only because CA didn't give EGUO and Herald any unique skills. When they do, monogod DP will be far more niche once again.

I'm open to any sort of subhuman cheese strats I just need to win a battle.
What do I do?

>>528693085
Corner camp
Send your lord/hero by him or herself and spam spells on top of them
Hide in the trees

>>528692272
To be honest I want to play all three. I like Norsca, Slaanesh and High Elves, so I am not certain what I will do. Probably will try the new High Elf first into Dechala, then Sayl or one of the old Norscans, but I am so unsure my mind could easily change by the time CA releases it

>>528692272
Dechala, then Sayl, and whatever I play next will depend on who LL nr.3 is.

>>528693258
We actually don't know if the High Elves will get anything. I think that CA is revealing the 3rd race next week.
Just don't set yourself up for disappointment.

we still don't know the third race for the dlc?

Did (You) expect Norsca to receive a DLC?

>>528693641
Yes.

It's almost certainly High elves

>>528693185

>>528695225
>Vampires
>Sabertusks
>Hydras and Harpies

OK how do I handle Skarbrand as Thorek? He is steadily pushing my shit in and I can't make a long term dent to him faction wise.

>>528695643
I think it's a cheat that turns dieter helsnicht into vampire rakarth

>>528695613
I love the Sartosa militias and the one to the left, the Marienburg privateers, which look like a tier 2 version of them that are acutally good so I'll be sure to spam them later.
>>528695643
I'm sure there was a way to do it legit but between the wyvern, bats, harpies, hydra, dogs and sabretusks it was impossible to secure my lines on an open field. Shit ton of chaff and some graveguards so bumrushing the lord was also hard, but even when I did it somehow they got a backup necromancer so they just kept going after that regardless, brutal.
>>528696016
He's part of Mixu's Legendary Lords, playing with a bunch of extra LLs and factions around the map for the fun of it right now.

>>528695948
Thorek and his army should be able to defeat Skarbrand's army.
Thorek can kill all infantry as long as you have his quest weapon.
Quarrelers can obliterate Skarbrand.

>>528695948
Shoot him, then his large units
But pivotally, don't make tons of ranged units, you need to block a ton of shit while your quarrelers chip away
Better to have additional melee ready to block unexpected furies or chariots than a bunch of panicking crossbowdwarves

>>528695948
goblin hewer will instakill skarbrand if your cannon with homing anti large ancillary can't kill him before he reaches you

>>528696546

I guess I should probably build a few more quarrelers but the fast khorne units are such a pain in the ass to deal with as far as dwarf inafntry goes.

>>528670227
You don't have to cheat to beat current L/VH AI. There's enough army buffs in the game with addition to careful planning and player tactics that you should comfortably win even if AI has advantage over you without cheese or cheats.

>>528696801
I just told you not to make too many
4-6 will do it then you can have a fucking wall of angry dwarf bastards blocking for them

>>528697214

ERGHHHHHHHHHHH ouAGH

OASSSUUuugh
NEEEEEEWWWWSSSSSSS

I've been thinking about what skills Bohemond the Beastslayer could provide for his army if he is ever a LL.

He could buff most of the anti-large units in the Bretonnian roster:
>Spearmen-at-Arms
>Men-at-Arms with polearms
>*maybe* Knights of the Realm (but Alberic buffs them, so I dunno)
>Pegasus Knights units
Not sure about these units, but possibly for these too:
>Peasant Bowmen (-only pox arrows version)
>Mounted Yeomen Archers

Aside from providing the obvious Bonus V large for missile and weapon strength, maybe he could apply poison attacks to all of these units, perhaps with a more powerful poison for the bowmen with pox arrows.

Mounted Yeomen Archers could have an abilty that would slow down nearby enemy units, like these:
https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Snare-Net
https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Gnoblar_Traps

Perhaps the spearmen and polearm units could have a passive ability of 'caltrops' or something similar, that slows down enemy large units, or lowers their charge bonus and does armour-piercing damage.

What abilites could be applied to cavalry?
Devastating Flanker maybe? Discouraged?

>There is another
Unbreakable is cancer and also shit. Now a breakable unit fighting to the death against impossible odds?

That's hot.

higher difficulty levels should cap stat buffs. say you can't have more than 50% increase over base for any given stat on hard or 20% on very hard.

>>528693641
Is this joke? Why would I NOT expect it? Every monogod race was specifically adding races that had missing units from Dogs of War. All that was left for the Norscan Bearmen/Skinmen unit.

Started up WH3 for the first time in months to try out the new items, and I decided to play Zhao since he has the +100% item drop rate. I sent out my caravan on the first turn and was immediately attacked by the Dissenter Lord faction with their own caravan reinforced by the garrison at Shan Yang. After fighting that starting siege slog I just don't have the interest in playing this BS. I'll try again in a few months maybe. Thank you for reading.

I have a confession to make..
I am a auto resolve andy.

I seethe when valiant defeat or close defeat pops up. Because I know that means the battles are technically winnable, you'll just probably lose most of your armies fighting it.

After years of wanting to play Total War games and finally having a PC to do it.. It is time I admit. I fucking suck at it.

>>528703260

I wish instead of a limit to four foreign units in your armies you were limited to four from a specific faction per army, because in my latest play through it would've been funny to have a completely foreign legion army mixed up of Lizardmen, High Elves, Empire, Kislev, and Cathay units

>>528694619
next month, hopefully early we will be told that the 3rdrace with be vampires and Nefeatara will be the LL and maybe a release date

>>528712250
Pontus and Epirus are my two favorite factions due to a mix of their rosters/government mechanics and being stuck in moshpits where the only way to meet financial solvency is to win a half-dozen battles/sieges with no reinforcements in between. I think the only way to make either faction more fun would be to add a Galatian or Illyrian/Thracian faction, respectively.

The Beastmen are so fast, like Slaaneshi fast, yo. This means that the auto-resolve hates you, but their battles are so fun you won't even mind. Their ambush focus paired with how fast they are mean that you can really trample some fuckers.

Wait.. are you.. .are you using trebs as an anvil? No... no WAIT. Are you recruiting a peasant type besides artillery? There is no hope for you. Give up now. There is no anvil, just two cav hammers pounding away from either side.

Are any of the Gnbolar units worth it?

>>528716882
peasants are only good with repantsu
feet woman gets more of them but they still kinda suck

>>528716882
Put a Paladin and a dead guy on a broomstick pony in the mix and they'll nut up, trust.

>>528717592
I hadn't considered using a lesser cavalry as an anvil. Thanks anon.

>>528717710
Trappers are pretty damn good for a cheap ranged/chaff option, and pigbacks are way better than they have any right to be
You'll still phase them out for more ogres extremely quickly

>>528717710
They're both extremely good. The spear one is your version of zombies. The ranged one is just OP as hell. No unit that cheap should rack up 20k damage that easily lobbing shit into a blob.

>>528717779
They won't win though. Couldn't uh... couldn't make that happen.

I fucking suck at using magic. I swear I kill my own troops more than enemies with it.

>>528717949
God Chaos units are so much cooler than Ordersissies.

>>528717861
love me knife thrower gnobs

At least I know to put farms and water wheels everywhere I can

>>528704664
>that army
how about you recruit some real units next time

>>528717991
Chaos units need the crutch of selling their soul to interdimensional gods of rape, shit, murder and yiddish tricks to compensate for being bitchmade.
The forces of Order know they face horrors beyond their comprehension, but they have a family at home that they love, and a dream for their future, and so they go to war anyway.

>>528713119
just set it to 20 then and you can do that just fine

>>528718381
I don't care. Warriors of Chaos ooze sovl and the pure essence of warhammer fantasy. Never forget the ORIGINAL HAMMER belonged to that of Chaos.

>>528718529
I can change it? How?

>>528718351
He's playing Kislev. Kossar sam isn't just optimal it's pretty much the only way to play.

>>528718668
only if you are a balding retard

>>528718646
Get the mod that removed allied unit cap. Free, universally compatible mod that instantly improves gameplay tremendously. Also the AI can use it too, so it makes battles more interesting.

Boris should tell the smelly priest guy and his ice daughter to stop fighting and work together

>>528718796
Asmongold and Boris are the only playable kislev lords.

>Playing as Bretonnia
>King Louen
>Confederate all the others
>Bring Fay Enchantress, Repanse, and Alberic together with Louen to cross the strait and save the High Elves from Dark Elves and Chaos
Good time.

>>528718906
he already did that in a patch a while ago

>>528717592
What does a peak Bretonnian army look like to you?
I usually make a 2nd cheap army full of mounted yeoman to follow my main army around, fun times

>>528719550
1 lord
1 paladin
9 grail guardians
the rest grail knights

>>528716882
1. get grail reliques
2. stop playing on the mode that fucks with morale values

trying to play a thematic skrolk campaign is genuine cancer
i already lost my first province to itza stat checking me with 3 stacks of saurus on turn 12

>>528702005

holy shit dude there's 3 armies coming at me at the same time

>>528685453
Aaaaiiieeeee

I sincerely think we are going to get two CoC style DLCs(Cathay and Vampires) after Dogs of War. Then probably one last big DLC with End Times themes.

>>528723060
>Vampire Counts CoC
>Neferata LL for Lahmian bloodline
>Melkhior the Ancient LL for Necrach bloodline
>Ushoran (Won't look as a cool as his AoS model) for the Strigoi bloodline
>Walach Harkon LL for Blood Dragon bloodline
>Abhorash LH for all VC (and Bretonnia maybe)
And they get the goal or bringing back Nagash and getting him as a LH or LL like Lizardmen have Kroak plus the few missing units VC need

some autist made a 3 hour long video showing off all his legendary lord mods for patch 6.2. which one of you was this?

>>528725178
i decided to link the video after not wanting to give it views because i know some retards will say hurr durr where is the video?

>>528725309
>17 Bretonnia legendary lords
Why? What in the actual fuck.

>"We improved enemy AI!"
>Hellebron and Malekith keep landing their forces at Blacklight Tower one at a time and then get ambushed by my Lord waiting for them there with an almost fullstack of Shadow Warriors
>Hellbron keeps sending one enemy lord stack at a time at Karond Kar which gets destroyed by a sole mage lord garrisoned with T4 walls
>Circle of Destruction is just Malekith sending his stacks one at a time into either Alarielle or Alith Anar with a bait
This is honestly more boring than regular Alith Anar ngl, it is funny how im infinitely farming gold off them with no losses but once again I am bored of the Asur, they really need that rework

>>528725309
>all these cheat Ogre LLs
>no Ghark Ironskin
Literally one job

Which of the 3 Warhammer timelines is your favorite?
>Empire in Flames
>End Times
>Storms of Chaos

>>528726828
Storm of Chaos is when I learned about Warhammer so it's the most sovlfvl.

>>528726454
literally fucking who

>>528726828
>>Empire in Flames
This is the funnest narrative timeline. That being said they rebooted it to make 8th edition lore in 2017 and the timeline is now called "Empire in Ruins/The Horned Rat".

Any starting armies that have made you ask yourself which retard thought it was a good idea to put those together? First ones that come to mind for me are Daniel's and Skarbrand's. Daniel's army feels like it was intentionally made to be the squishiest army possible including himself. Skarbrand at least suffers from this less since hes broken but most of the heavy lifting in his army will be his Chaos Warriors tanking while the bloodletters flank because theyre too squishy, he should have started with at least 1 Exalted Bloodletter

>>528727883
>army trait is he gives everyone Rage which benefits from being in sustained melee
>he has a range heavy starting army instead for some reason

>>528724085
>Nagash
>as a LH/LL
Worst timeline

>>528726454
Ghark's Mod never got updated to 6.0

>>528725309
A lot of those lords are from other Warhammer videogames. Is CA even allowed to use them?

>>528729081
Other warhammer games are fine to use, so long as it's not Age of Sigmar or 40k

>Tabletop Empire has dozens of tabletop legendary lords and is still missing half their 8th edition lords. Missing significantly more than other race in the game.
>Only has 5 lords while races with less characters like High Elves and Dark Elves both have more and didn't even become playable until the second game.
How the fuck does CA justify this?

>>528729649
They had a hard-on for knife ears and Skaven in WH2, its no surprise they have stronger armies

>>528729649
Empire 8th/FW/ET LL on tabletop:
>Karl Franz(Playable)
>Volkmar(Playable)
>Balthazar Gelt(Playable)
>Elspeth(FW-Playable)
>Lietpold the Black(FW)
>Kurt Hellborg
>Marius Leitdorf
>Valten(ET)

So you are correct. The empire only has half their 8th edition lords playable. Most races have all their 8th edition lords or are missing 1.

>>528725178
>>528725309
What the fuck he managed to get lost factions albion to make it past turn 30?
Impressive. When I use it it will always crash at like turn 20-30

>>528730093
I thought that Boris was also an 8th ed lord.
And which lord was the one for Nordland?

>>528728369
>for some reason
haha what if they made an original faction but forgot to give it a basic melee infantry unit but then sold it as dlc when they remembered

>>528729247
or the pirate game apparently, even though they paid extra for it. seriously though I don't understand this one at all. was gw intentionally trying to sabotage vampire coast dlc for some reason?

>>528730093
Kurt Hellborg should be a recruitable LL you get from building the T4 Reiksguard building in Altdorf like how Volkmar used to be unlockable in WH2 with the Sigmar building. Doesnt make sense not to have him when in the present (8th ed) hes the one that owns the Solland Runefang and also he should be the one that can buff Reiksguard to be on the level of some of the best cavalry in the game. Also Schwarzhelm LH when, we need that magnificient beard in this game, Dwarfs wish they had a beard as good looking as this. Also reminder that this guy managed to kill Valkia with a fucking flag.

>>528730660
GW is still mindbroken by twenty+ year old legal battles, so they're unbelievably anal about copyright.

>>528730230
>I thought that Boris was also an 8th ed lord.
4th and 6th only. All the elector-counts were 4th edition lords. The only elector-counts in 8th are Marius and Karl Franz.

>>528730813
even if they wanted to jew ca for extra money why the arbitrary limitation on how many characters they could use? why stop them from making any new dlcs for the faction?

>>528730093
Valmir von Raukov is playable in the 8th edition Mortkin campaign. It says you just use his Storms of Chaos rules so technically there is a 3rd elector count for 8th edition.

>>528620896
>>528621015
>>528612363 (OP)
Eat it Hunnic shits

>>528731054
From my understanding GW is less a united company and more a loose confederation of "That Guy"s making decisions based on what stupid nerd thing made them seethe recently. Semi-recently they also hired some slimy moneymen, a different kind of terrible person. The result is a company that only functions because autists will shell out absurd amounts of money for their special interest and because most nerds were conditioned for abuse their entire lives.

>>528731843
Remember when modders found the Repeater Handguns unit CA made hidden in the files and GW ordered CA to patch them out completely rather than adding them as an FLC unit

>>528730093
>Most races have all their 8th edition lords or are missing 1.
Not most. The only other race in the game missing more than 1 legendary lord from 8th edition is Wood Elves are missing Araloth and Daith. Unless you count the super secret 8th edition of Grand Cathay they won't release to the public.

>>528725896
by the time you have reached this point no ai in the world is going to offer challenge
the game falls apart after the 30-50 turn range and theres no point in continuing

>>528729649
>>528730093
the game really does not need every province to have a legendary lord its already too crowded and you could delete half the existing ones to improve the game

So when starting as Boris Ursus do I just Kossar spam instead of the Kossar/Kislevite Warrior spam? Because he already starts with 4 strong frontliners

>>528734154
also I heard Frost Wryms were shit on launch, is that still true now because I know most Ice Witches get one as a mount and would like to know if its better to keep them on war bear mounts rather than the frost wyrm ones

>>528726828
>Which of the 3 Warhammer timelines is your favorite?
Warhammer 3.

ogres just want to eat people

>>528734154
mpgods recommend having 3 frontline units for every ranged unit

>>528734356
no they're one of the best single entities in the game now

I'LL HAVE THIS WORLD

>>528734154
Kossar spam is better

>Play manfred thinking I'll go around the world collecting books
>can't go anywhere because constantly having doomstacks thrown at my settlements
>it's turn 80

Ogres bugged? Losing ~50 meat per turn instead of 15. Also can't heal because "in foreign territory" but my army is encamped AND in the circle of influence of an ogre camp which is set to encamp.

Also thought you could trade units with camps, but maybe I'm misremembering

>>528737597
All you'll be having is my cum, slurped from Momoka's alcoholic pussy

>>528737917
>hold out until you got a ton of graveyards
>raise a bunch of t4/t5 units and start conquering the desert
>turn 50 and I haven’t built a single military building

>>528738294
Infertile Hag

>>528738270
Did you offer to the maw?
Each offering costs 20 meat per turn.
Can't remember if lack of meat fucks replenishment, if it does it might override encamp, the reasoning listed in-game for lack of replenishment is often bullshit.

>>528738270
You can transfer meat to camps but not the other way around.

Playing Rome in DEI
I'm having fun (more than ever in vanilla for sure) but I'm kind of struggling to understand the replenishment system, it seems like sometimes my units won't replenish even if the region has population and I put supply trains in all my armies. The slow pace of romanization also means I can't expand very freely and I'm always broke, but Carthage just keeps landing army after army in Sicily keeping my troops stuck on the defensive there.

>>528739948
might be due to supply problems, here's a guide: https://divideetimperamod.com/supply/

>the "Undefeated"
>is defeated

If I shit my pants does that make me a follower of Nurgle or an Ogre?

>>528740316
Does the AI get the debuffs on him if he loses

>>528740379
Nurgle.
Let brown spew

>>528738617
Oh I thought maw was one time payment, I see
I guess I had a -15% debuff from low food and that was enough to completely negate all replenishment...

Nagash was woke

OOOOOOOHH
OGRES OGRES

>>528741585
So that's why his Tomb Guard are all BIPOC skellies...

Remember when people used to complaing about Skaven?

>>528740162
I think my supply situation should be good but I'll take another look at it, thanks for the guide bud

>>528741781

>>528740316
technically in this universe, when you're defated then you die, so everyone who is alive is technically undefeated

>>528741940
no prob, also the discord for dei is super active and if you ask a question you are very likely to get a response from one of the devs

Is there any way to swap atamans? Before the patch you were able to disband and assign a new one now i cant do shit i need the devotion one.

>>528742368
Many special characters have lost battles yet lived in their lore

THE HUNTER

>>528740593
no, hes still Undefeated which is pretty retarded, luckily after taking him out the rest of his provinces are free for the taking

>>528742423
I still don't really get it, the region has plenty of supplies and this is the population situation, but the unit cards say replenishment is disabled because of "Population Shortage Local Events"
There's a hot summer effect with a replenishment malus, is that enough to disable it entirely?

>>528743615
MARKUS
WULFHART

>>528744924
Literally who?

>>528744879
the hot summer and the generals might have negative replenishment traits is my best guess

>>528744879
also this does illustrate just how good it is to upgrade the replenishment skill on your generals asap

beating Chaos legendary lords before they get a proper, lore friendly force of enemies to fight against is cheating btw

>>528741781
Skaven got so much attention and playtime in 2 that I sometimes completely forget they're in 3.
Did a Queek run recently and they're still very fun but they feel complete and old next to all the new shinies.

>>528745615
Yeah, guess I should to boost that on everyone. I've been prioritizing upkeep and cultural conversion on the land armies.
