Heroic Victory: >>528765193

Thanquol soon, friends!

>>528928178
Who's Thanquol anyway? What does he even do?

NAGASH

was mid.

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
victories achieved by cheating don't count and are only stealing enjoyment of the game from yourself

How different is each campaign with the same faction? Does it feel different each time in terms of who declares war, wars going on, territory changes etc?

Be a good person

Remember to quickly upgrade your Cohors into Legio.

>>528928406
Can you beat TWWH without leveling up, without ranking units, without using any items, without using your heroes, without using magic and without using faction mechanics, without using monsters and without using anything above tier 1 units?

>>528928406
What if I use cheats that diminish or disable the above like removing the red line from skills trees, limit heroes to 2 per army and diplomacy and A.I unfuckers?

>>528928406
Stop playing the game

>want to play greenskins
>fighting powercrept warhammer 3 factions with them is just fucking miserable

>>528928406
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T "CHEAT" THE HECCIN AI BRO!
>ai pulling 5 billion stacks out of it's asshole when it only has 1 settlement is okay

>>528928892
I nearly spat my food out, that's the most hideous Shepard I've ever seen

>>528928878
Brother, you are the powercrept Warhammer 3 faction.

>>528928878
It really is, the game kind of expects you to expand aggressively early on despite your Orc Boyz being pretty squishy, whats worse is they ruined their economy for 0 reason, they probably got the worst changes out of the DLC and thats including the original and shit Kislev rework before what they recently got. Playing them in the endgame expects you to spam Spiders and Hero stacks

>>528929002
he's beautiful on the inside

>>528928406
I just downloaded a mod that unlocks all achievements for me. And anytime people like you try to talk shit I'm gonna link the hardest ones and pretend I got them legitimately.

Playing Rome 2 DEI
Weird bug I'm getting, sometimes when I take an army out of patrol stance, it'll have lost all its movement despite not doing anything on the turn up to that point
No enemy action or anything like that either
Any guesses what might be causing this?

>>528928458
It depends. As Astragoth for instance, many things may happen.
>if you don't mess with Grimgor, he is 99% certain to mess with you with several Waaagh stacks, so that never changes
>Thorgrim may win or lose to Orcs/Skaven near him, and the winner will inevitably want to fight with you
>Arbaal is very likely to declare war on you, but it isn't certain
>Kholek/Tamurkhan may declare war on you even if they're fighting each other. If one wins, they will 99% sure attack you, but who wins isn't certain
>Azhag may be too concerned with the Empire/Drycha to attack you
>Drazhoath/Zhatan may fail spectacularly or hold on pretty well
>Greasus and Ghorst typically fight each other, and then you, but sometimes Greasus will just say "fuck you" and charge soon after your caravan leaves
I've had several Astragoth campaigns in the last 6 months, and they all went considerably differently. Getting the left side Sorcery tab tech with Daemons of Chaos diplomacy + Astragoth diplo skill can calm Arbaal down, to a point, and if he doesn't chimp out your situation will probably be ok

Doesn't happen often but damn is it nice when your grail guardians perfectly surround an enemy lord and just fucking murder it

>>528929804
Idk anon but I also got a movement bug playing WH3 recently that reset some of my movement when I did absolutely 0 things to trigger it besides reloading the save

Warhammer 3 is 66% off.
The absolute best DLCs for Warhammer 3 are Warhammer 1 and 2 which are currently in a bundle that is about 72% off.

I replayed Astrogoth's campaign for the first time in a while, and during his convoy escort quest battle the Greenskins would disintegrate upon breaking like undead? Is this a bug or half-assed optimization thing?

40k waiting room

>>if you don't mess with Grimgor, he is 99% certain to mess with you with several Waaagh stacks, so that never changes
Whats funny about this is Ive been at war with Grimgor multiple times but I dont think hes ever declared a WAAAGH on me but has used them against me, usually ends in his death

>>528927697

How does Rome Remastered compare to Rome 2 (base game) for content?

>>528930831
The RAT FUCKING KIKE BASTARDS put autism inducing chemicals in the water and he is the result.

>>528930831
i think it's a meta joke about shilling

>>528928892
you chose that setting. no one forced you to turn ai cheats on. you intentionally put yourself in a situation where you feel like you have to cheat because the ai is cheating too.

Forgot to screenshot my progress but my Boris campaign is kind of coming to an end
>retook all of Kislev
>ratfags got war declared on them by Elspeth who had about 7 armies at her borders
>Kostaltyn came back by rebellion and I confederated him after he took Erengrad
>got tired of just keeping Daniel at bay with War Bear stacks so finally expanded further in the Chaos Wastes
>all Large units are basically folding to Boris and his insane Anti-Large modifier
>next time I play Boris I might let the Chaos forces expand more and save Kislev from the ratfucks and the Slaanesh homo

>>528928337
Okay so imagine the biggest jobber.
That's Thanquol.

>Gathered all the clans of skaven to assault nuln
>Foils each individual assault because he wants to take the victory himself
>In the end, doesn't have enough troops to assault the city.

>Tries to summon a Verminlord

>>528928406
Got some mods that give both me and the ai a potential advantage.

Whachu think about that, buster brown?

>>528932225
165 melee attack against large entities.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIteFTdeT00
it's up

>>528932468
cheating because the ai can't use any cheats you give it as efficiently as a human

>>528929002
I have made a shepherd using the black guy template, setting his lips and nose to max then giving him the palest white skin, red hair and green eyes, and he was much uglier than >>528928892

>Summons Skarbrand instead
Kek
And how did that go?

I've been enjoying role-playing as a merc for the order factions since the launch of WH3. At this point though it's so tiring having to pay them off constantly just for them to cancel our military alliance at 65 relationship anyways that I'm gonna take a break.

Fuck welves, fuck sea elves, fuck landships, and especially fuck dwarf pirates. I'm going to go back to the old WH2 days of allying greenskins, get me some pirate gobbos.

>>528933326
what is this in reference too? Are ogres and chaos dorfs humans? How do I decode this?

>>528933510
"Freed upon the mortal plane, Skarbrand wrought a terrible carnage upon the battlefield, where Dwarfs and Skaven alike fought each other and their allies in gruesome displays of mad rage and uncontrollable bloodshed due to the unnatural Daemonic presence of the Bloodthirster. It was only thanks to Master Engineer Klarak Bronzehammer, who set off a demolition charge which saw a massive stone axe that was part of a great statue of Valaya fall and sink its blade into the flesh of the Bloodthirster's head, that the Dwarf Hold survived the Daemonic onslaught.

Thanquol, having had enough of risking his life for the ambitions of others, fled the battlefield right after he blasted the master engineer with a wave of Warp-lightning and saw the Dwarf's body fall from the statue of Valaya onto the hard, rock floor many stories below. Before Skarbrand was sent back into the Realm of Chaos, he whispered to Thanquol that should the Skaven have need of him again, he would be waiting."

>>528933582
When will they put that bitch back in norsca where she belongs?

>>528933798
She belongs in the ocean.

The focus character of Total War 40k will be a female Custodes.

>>528933798
>No armor
>Shirt made of scraps
>Short shorts
>Anit-large melee bonus
>Sails a lot
Norsca could never

The focus character of Total War 40k will be a female Custodes with rock hard abs and giant tits.

>>528935076
And a HUGE cock

>>528935386
The delights we shall savour...

The focus of Medieval 3 will be the Hundred Years War.

>>528935613
Black Prince as an immortal single unit entity with splash damage.

Two retards fighting.

KRELL

>>528937336
Nightmaw really should get the Krell treatment. I hope that CA Sofia reconsiders.

>>528937336
Where is he?

>channel magic
>no change
What the FUCK is this?

>>528932401
He's what a Skaven should be, a brilliant backstabbing piece of shit who only cares about himself who inevitably fucks himself over as a result. Anyone who actually writes Skaven as competent doesn't understand the faction.

>>528938381
You know damn fucking well that there are too many factors. Post a screenshot or fuck off

>>528938892
>start with 7
>click channel
>still have 7
I'm sure there's just a chance of this happening but I'm more pissed off than it going down for some reason

>>528930354
ackchyually Bretonnia is provided for free in all 3 games and not merely in Warhammer 3

>>528939102
>I NEED A SPECIAL LINE OF TEXT FOR WHEN IT STAYS THE SAME

>>528939102
Oh that thing. Shit has been bugged since warhammer 2. Best to just ignore it

>just spent like an hour remaking aekhold helbrass (unit) in rpfm except as a lord instead of a hero
>that was the easy part, now I gotta do all the campaign agent side of things, including his skill tree from the ground up
>then the actual scripting bullshit to change his quest reward from what it is into 'you can pick him as a lord or hero'
Why do I do this to myself?

>>528930354
It’s funny that you forgot about Daniel

>>528940056
He doesn't exist.

IN THE NAME OF KANE

>>528939873
>Why do I do this to myself?
Tzeentch demands it for whatever reason.

I got 55gb of pre-written posts in a folder, just waiting for when 40k is announced and I get to post here, then I will post minute by minute, starting discussions, shitposting fantasy, answering myself and etc
It will be glorious and I cant wait

>>528940105
Unironically. For a guy who was basically the poster child at one point, he has gotten nothing since release (besides new units)

>>528940327
That was how big the 6.2 update was, suspicious

>>528929929
>Arbaal is very likely to declare war on you, but it isn't certain
If you get lucky with the autocolonization RNG you can grab the settlement north of your starting city after he razes it and sell it to him for a military alliance. You'll also get some free Khorne units to supplement your shittier armies.

>take Karak Eight Peaks
>keepusing only goblins

Here we go. Everyone, turn your bodycams off.

>>528940193
Kane lives in death!

Ew.

>>528941404
No DLC....

Tell me anons, which TW has the best sieges?

>>528941824
Shogun 2, once the castle has more than one level.

>>528933746
>How do I decode this?
These are base game races
>Humans
Kislev
>Humans
Cathay
>Demons
Daemons of Chaos

>Demons
Nurgle

Tzeench
>Humans
Khorne

Ogres
Anon fucked up his shitpost, it should also include edgelords under game1 and kangz under game 2.

>>528941824
Shogun 2 but that's because they basically said fuck it just make them field battles.
When they were actually trying I would say Med 2, they could still be jank but having a big ass castle with strong walls was a real advantage for a defender and as an attacker you would have a hard time but units didn't collapse into nothing in 2 seconds, they held and pushed slowly but surely so you could do some fancy flanking maneuvers around the city if you had the space for it.
Post-Med2 I think 3k had the least bad incarnation of the modern siege battles but I haven't played Pharaoh.

To the anons talking about the missing ai options in campaign settings menu last thread, mixer is not updated for hotfix and make them not show up

I think the problem with warhammer sieges is literally how slow your units crawl up the ladders its actually insane
These are supposed to be warriors and they go 1 unit at a time and way too slow

>>528942425
>Humans
>Ogres
???
WE'Z NOT NO STINKIN UMANS'! WE'Z DA BIGGEST!

we decided to take Crete

Repanse makes a beach party in Copher, who's invited?

>>528943236
Louen, Morgiana, Bohemond Beastslayer, Bertrand the Brigand, Henri, Green Knight, Sqvire, that guy from Bordeaux who brings surprise guests Rakarth, Yuan Bo and Markus Wulfheart with him.
Tik Tak To, Krq Gar, Volkmar, The Tradpilled Dwarf Guy

Bruh AI (not TW one) is so fucking stupid lmao.

>Search on google what's a good endgame stack for Deathmaster Snikch.
>Notice the google AI comes up with a long af answer.
>Check it out of curiosity.
>It suggests using ratling gunners as a frontline unit (interchangeable with fucking skavenslave slingers as a way to hold the line).
>Use the poison variety of gutter runners, but only some, make the rest non-poison (there's literally no con to giving them poison).
>Acts as if their poison is damage.
>"And here's an example of a video where a professional TW player will show you how to employ the above army."
>Links me to halfway through a video of Legend doing one man doomstack with Tz'arkan + Sword of Khaine Snikch back in Warhammer 2.

What a laugh.

>>528943968
>>It suggests using ratling gunners as a frontline unit (interchangeable with fucking skavenslave slingers as a way to hold the line).
This is unironically how Legend plays

>>528944152
I think even at the absolute height of ranged spam Warhammer 2 era, Legend's stance was that 3-4 ratlings is ideal and you'd be better off using jezzails to spam.

And either way I'm pretty sure ratling spam isn't even that good nowadays.

Skaven are very annoying to fight

>>528941468
That's what he actually looks like, though.

>>528942778
Coming fresh off a one stack + big garrison siege battle my primary problem right now is why the fuck can't units stick to their orders? They need to be told the thing they were ordered to do literally every 5 seconds like it's a shitty Starcraft match or else they'll just stop and freeze.

>>528942821
Man I had one look at the remaster and decided to go back to the original immediately, it feels uncanny. I guess it's a good backup option once the original stops working.

>>528944824
>set up superior dawi firing line
>artillery to kill ranged rats
>thaggoraki genocide

I lost in Kurunta's first turn. I couldn't take the settlement.

did delfs get an update yet

>>528945087
meant for >>528944637

>>528944637
they would be substantially less annoying to fight if units couldn't so easily rout through enemy troops. their roster being designed around constantly breaking and returning just makes you really feel it when fighting them. it never has any real impact on the outcome of the battle, it just makes their endless shitstacks more time consuming to fight.

warp lightning spam, menace below, and nukes are all still fucking tiresome though

>>528944824

asrai shit in the woods.

>tilean generic lord with the surname Unberogen
by the comet this is heresy

>>528948371
hes from northern tilea

>>528931507
Dunno. It not work on win 7. Every other two game work

So what sucks about Legion of Chaos anyways?

>>528950075
for starters, they have no technology or unique mechanics or anything to benefit the faction minus buildings

>>528950075
no tech tree
mediocre body parts on daniel that results in him being weaker than most generic lords that can use items
no real campaign mechanics
mandalore saying daniel was the best wh3 faction for having access to the monogod units was a huge blow to daniel never getting any updates

>win a very long and hard-fought battle with a great result off a scenario where autoresolve offered only a loss
>game freezes

It seems Khorne and Nurgle will be only monogods with more than 2 LLs

>>528948363
It was the beastmen.

>>528951556
Lol this is a great meme format.
Like the DND Alignment meme format.

>>528951556
Who would be GHR and Hashut? Evelyn and Rose respectively?

Also, his mum isn't THAT good a lay.

>>528942483
Shogun 2 is regarded as having the best sieges but, can it really be considered sieges when its essentially a fortified plateau?

My uncle's nephew works at CA and has told me that TW40K will be announced on september, and not only that, but the first endgame crisis will be Mannfred arriving to the 40k universe through a warp storm and joining forces with Erebus.

While autoresolve is useful for 'two depleted garrison troops have to fight three stacks', I should generally fight battles that aren't foregone conclusions to build my skills in a variety of situations, right?

When I play a non-Warhammer title, I don't feel the need to have a 20/20 army and wait for my units to be above 90% before I go into battle. I feel fine with 11-14 units, and if a unit is 45% down, that's just the way it is.
What's the cause of this? I suspect is some balance issue

This sure would be a cool item for Khorne!

>>528957624
It's because if your spearmen are less than 99% health when a super large OP DLC selling monster or lord crashes into them, they'll run and turn your line into an open door

>>528957771
You're supposed to spit on it and then melt it down

>>528928047
they fire the ballistae over the horizon
now the sun gets hit at night and cant retaliate

Talk me out of dropping >$100 buying up Warhammer DLC.

>>528960709

>>528943968
>Google's AI
You have no idea

>>528960709
It can be pirated or some shiet? I never bothered but if that money matters atm see what creamapi is about

Things I was thinking about:
1. Imagine how happy the first nation to discover ironworking was.
2. Hybrid units are difficult to balance because they either suck at both aspects of their role or they are too competent and possess too much utility.
3. It is truly incredible that the Eastern Roman Empire survived for over a thousand years.
4. What is at the very edge of our universe?
5. Nothing lasts forever... I wonder what the final Total War game will be.

>>528951556
If they don't add Horstmann and the Masque I'll be pissed.

>>528961165
>1. Imagine how happy the first nation to discover ironworking was.
ironworking was developed in the bronze age and wasnt really some big revolution of technology

If Medieval 3 is actually on the horizon it needs to have the world scale of Empire or it's going to be a colossal failure

>>528961165
>4. What is at the very edge of our universe?
There is no edge, just like there was literally no time before the big bang

Hot damn that was awful.

>>528962457
Well now you know you're
~supposed~ to go north
Most of the early game is knowing which enemies will leave you alone and leaving those alone to go fight enemies that won't

races I've done VH/VH long victory for
>Empire, Dark Elves, Dwarfs, Grand Cathay, Greenskins, High Elves, Khorne, Kislev, Nurgle, Ogre Kingdoms, Skaven, Tomb Kings, Tzeentch, Warriors of Chaos
factions I don't want to do because of their rework
>Slaanesh, Norsca, Vampire Counts (?), Lizardmen (?)
factions I just dont want to do because they bore me
>Vampire Coast, Daemons of Chaos
Who should I go for next: Bretonnia, Chaos Dwarfs or Wood Elves, maybe ill throw Vampire Counts and Lizardmen in the mix too just in case.

>>528961486
Didn't the Bantu tribes in Africa skip bronzeworking and go straight to ironworking?

>>528962684
Yeah, I didn't think Middenland would die in ten turns or so.

>>528962789
Vampire Coast

>>528962870
bantu tribes basically skipped straight to ironworking, only people who practiced bronzeworking were tribes/cultures close to the Mediterranean
and nigeria for some reason despite very little contact up north

>>528962457
Ok so, fuck all that noise, heres what you do
>take out Successionists
>recruit a second bait Lord you send off to Altdorf after taking over Ubersreik
>rush T2 Altdorf and then build walls
>go back to Altdorf with Franz as Khazraks probably set to attack Toddy soon
>ambush bait the ra ra roos or their AI is just retarded enough to run into an Altdorf with the walls built for the extra garrison
>take the herdstone out next turn if Franz is positioned near Altdorf and the Black Pit tards will eventually start moving on Toddys other settlements
>take them out with ease and grab their settlement (do not gift it) then sell it back to Middenland, Toddy or Nordland (or Skaeling) will make their way to destroying the other Black Pit settlement
>by this point in time Kemmler will have either taken out Marienburg or just garrisoned on the fort nearby
>Send Franz to that side, declare war and ambush bait
>your army is strong enough to rape all his armies if you know how to play or you can autoresolve with no big losses besides some units, clearing out his main army pretty easily
>keep the offensive on Kemmler, hopefully Kemmlers killed the Dwarfs off if not, break the non-aggression and trade agreements (fuck the Dawi) and go into Bretonnia and destroy Kemmler for good
>(optional) sell off the Bretonnia settlements because its better to give it back to Louen Leoncoeur to secure funds and a few agreements than having to deal with possibly both N'Kari and Belakor and grab Grug Zint from him so that you can get all 3 of those mountain settlements
>by this point you should have a T3 settlement and enough funds to grab 2 cannons, head up North and declare war on Festus
>the cannons will rape Festus, hopefully you got a good enough mage to use spells to damage his other units and hopefully a solid ranged unit comp (Huntsmen, Outriders, Crossbowmen, Handgunners take your pick), taking him out once will make the rest of Hochland conquering easy mode

>that much progress
Impressive.
What was your strategy?

CHAOS FAYOS

>>528966424
Go blue line for Daniel first to get Diplo relations with all chaos factions. Trade territories to Epidemius and go south. much easier to dunk on Kislev and Empire than to stay up north. Create a vassal whenever you can, especially Skaven, they make more money than your territories.

Is it weird to be attracted to the river troll hag?

>>528961165
hybrid units will pretty much always be shit because you are overpaying for stats that you don't need. no matter how good its melee stats are you can't shoot if the unit is in melee, so assuming you actually want to use the ammo you paid for you have to avoid melee just like a ranged unit would, in which case the melee stats are pointless. on the other hand if you just leave the unit in melee you are paying for a ranged attack that you can't use.

>>528968794
YES, IT IS

>>528968808
there is one niche case in which spear hybrid units are good, that being if you have most of your army slots going towards the front line, and you have artillery that needs to be protected and say 2 units of archers or spears wouldn't be enough on their own to cover it
this is the only time I have found them to be useful, but I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I have actually done this

What are the major grudges to hold against CA?

If the dwarfs canonically grudged a bretonnian ambassador for just talking too much and wasting too much time on pleasantries, we can totally grudge CA on the fucking absurd periods of no news and no communication.

>>528972425
>hmm should we program the ai to make bigger armies?
>no that's too hard let's just remove the ability to move your units around completely

>>528974206
my biggest gripe is CA programs the ai to be like a player that tried to bend all the rules instead of making the ai fun to play against. the ai will perfectly calculate how far your army can move and be just outside of range, while a good designer (me) would make a n orc horse rampage throughout the region for you to stomp. the ai also arbitrarily follows the same rules as the player with regards to recruitment and income and stuff, and to amek the game "harder" CA adjust the values for the ai, but a smart designer (me) would make the ai not follow the player restrictions at all. there is no reason why an orc or beastman horde cant thematically recruit loads of shit while its rampaging

Can TWWH do... This?

>>528974674
>wanting even more ai cheats
the ai should play like a human roleplaying as whatever ll it is for

En avant ! Pour la couronne et le pays !

the easiest fix for Alith Anar and Markus Wulfhart is giving them artillery shots

:O

I kinda want to replay Empire but I remember how important navies are and how much of a pain in the fucking ass it is to fight on the water

>>528974998
think of the ai as "cheating" is the wrong mind set and is the one ca has. it exists to entertain me, the player. let it spawn armies for me to fight as long as it fits the narrative. right now the ai calculates objective army strength and hides in cities or plays wackamole.

They're good because they won't fold to fast units. It's like paying a little more for insurance. You can't use that ammo if they're eaten by bats either.

>>528978159
Meanwhile my destruction campaign got ruined by Karl going nuclear and eating all his neighbors by turn 45

>>528975810
no ca literally has constructed the entire ai system as a gigantic spiderweb of cheats like "faction potential" and autoresolve bonuses. the way ai should work is "you are grimgor. build armies full of orcs and run them into enemy territory."

>>528975810
The problem is that the AI have no other agenda in the game other than being angry at the player, and if its friendly to you, it ceases to even try to play the game
Artificial as fuck

>>528975648
Seems the economy hit Archaon hard, he's trying to bring the end times with a bunch of dogs

>>528978665

I had a nightmare where CA dropped a new trailer, it was a cinematic that showed the humans(Bretonnia, Empire and Cathay) holding off a horde of chaos spawns, with new units like Bretonnian cannons and Cathayan trebuchets, but just as the legendary lord was about to be revealed it cut to black with white text saying "full trailer available in september".

I woke up feeling very disappointed at something that never happened, and hopefully never will.

>>528978474

>>528974674
Yeah it pisses me off when these big scary evil armies march in and then get too timid to actually fight and we have to have a Benny Hill chase around because they always force march a pixel out of range. What kind of pussy Khorne swarm or greenskin waaagh runs like that

Or when the AI has a full stack in its capital and then abandons it to run away. It can be so difficult to actually have a decent final battle sometimes. Why would the stunties abandon Karaz a Karak instead of fighting to the death.

>>528989941
Greenskins make sense. They're canonically annoying, stupid, and counterproductive to even their own goals. khorne and Slayer Lords shouldn't have the option to retreat or move away from enemies. They should be like heat seeking missiles.

>>528988893
Sometimes I play multiplayer.

How do you make money as Changeling? There's no sack option and cults take too long to develop for gold.

>>528991659
Attack all the minor settlements around you and establish parasitic cults

>>528992492
Should I ever make symbiotic ones? I'm playing on Legendary, no idea if the AI cheats enough money to leech it from them in major regions.

total war

>>528991659
Download the mod that gives him normal settlements.

>>528992738
Symbiots, the big places like Drakenhof and Altdorf, to siphon that sweet, sweet money, but remember that if it's razed, you lose that income too. Changeling is the comfiest campaign since nobody has a clue where yo are.

Would Changeling co op campaign work with an order faction like Karl or do the cults do too much harm?

Are you using Mixer mod by chance ? If so, there is your problem.

>>529000712
Below "enable sea lanes" option and above " enable endgame scenarios " option.

you fucking faggots stop spouting random bullshit about mixer
the game simply failed to properly install 6.2 and the settings do not appear until you verify the integrity of game files
pic related i was missing the settings after 6.2 but it fixed itself no problem

Game works on my machine.

Finally after 12 years I actually finished a very hard domination campaign on shogun 2 fots with the Obama clan. I was lowkey disappointed how I didn't even get the chance to really use the late game techs (no gattling guns, no final tier infantry, except imported infantry.)

Decided to play some mods, hoping to see some other aspects of the game and maybe have an easier time of it. Did you guys know radious mod is terrible? They added like 6 different units with functionally the same stats.

Darthmod seemed a bit better at first glance (I like the idea of public order buildings adding a tier 1 infantry unit) but it feels like they turned the lethality of rifle armed units down a little, which I worry messes with the careful balance between modern and traditional units.

Well, maybe I should just try some other clans. Aizu seems cool for a republic run. Why do they boost their traditional units when they get cool line infantry alternatives?

Holy jesus.
They really did wait until July just to announce the third race in the DLC.

>>529001094
And yet you only have proof of the aftermath, making your claim objectively false

>>529001464
"They really will wait untill end of July

>>529001556
31st of July, to be specific

>>529001556
**of next year, 2026

Oh also, after playing shogun 2, I really value the limited amount of armies in more recent games. It's a huuge pain in the ass when the ai sends out tiny little armies to sabotage the ports and resource buildings. And it's a huge pain to hunt them down too. But maybe they shouldn't have given armies the ability to attack farms and resource buildings. It's kind of a feels bad mechanic that only allows the ai to hurt you, but it doesn't really allow you to hurt the ai (they have infinite money anyway)

Reminder that the third race is Skaven. VerminTIDE soon yes-yes.

>>529001546
i have played several campaigns before during and after 6.2 including the hotfix with mixer enabled in all of them without any issues outside of the day 6.2 dropped and i fixed it instantly like i already mentioned
skill issue on your part

>>529001918
I didn't read your post, I thought you were the initial guy and was gaslighting him

>Warhammer 1 got 6 dlcs counting race packs
>Warhammer 2 got 9 dlcs counting race packs
>Warhammer 3 has 6 dlcs so far counting race packs
What do you guys think the final number will be for 3?
I think there's about 3 left in the near future, but that they'll probably capitalize on the die-hard fans with some occasional dlcs down the line, like they did with Empire Divided and Desert Kingdoms for Rome 2.
Final count 10-11 for Warhammer 3.

>>529004368
There are two ways to play it.
The 1066 Conquest mod, to play short but sweet campaigns as William the Conqueror, Harald Hardrada and Harold Godwinson.

The shieldwall mod, which adds population, if you're very interested in the time period. Given that Age of Charlemagne didnt really focus that much on the viking age, ToB can fill that niche for you.

>>529004368

Why is it that most people who play Total War games play singleplayer? What puts people off playing MP?

>>529004368
Some interesting ideas and nice art style but this anon is right >>529005669

>>529010516
Total War's main appeal lies in mixing 4x strategy with real time tactical battles with high body counts, you can easily find a game that's a better RTS or a better 4x game, it's hard to find one that does both well enough while also having large scale battles that aren't complete ass to play.
You're just getting less of the experience in MP.

>>529005107
Who?

>>529010516
It's a very casual friendly series, which makes competitive gamers be ridiculed and makes casual gamers settle

There are better RTS games to play competitively, the entire appeal of the series is the battles having context in the campaign layer.

>people say dorfs are ez and slaanesh is hard

>>529005102
Me? Liking Ogres.

>>529011778
You do not have to think much playing melee, just send your dudes in from all sides. Also, people need to post their game settings as well because pause and/or slow-mo make ranged armies muuuuch easier.

>>529005102
I like Golgfag, fun sandbox playstyle without being completely brainless like Changeling

>>529011778
Have you tried right clicking Slayers on anything as Ungrim? The only part of dwarfs that I can imagine giving someone trouble is managing their short gunpowder units.

>>529011902
>he thinks DLCfag powercreeper isnt braindead easy

lol

Tomb Kings need some buffs.

3 out of 4 monogods play the exact fucking same with muh melee focus

>>529011668
You can bond with the dwarfs over axes.

>>529011778
dorfs have the best autoresolve in the game so you have to fight the urge to not play the game by just skipping battles

Valkia should be Khorne not WoC
Tamurkhan should be WoC not Nurgle
Norsca should just be fucking deleted

>>529012176
Is it true that the Champions of Chaos DLC is essential if you want to play as Chaos?

>>529011778
Could just be a difference in how well you manage firing lines and such since positioning is important for Dwarfs, but Slaanesh is quite forgiving with how fast their units move as long as you're paying attention. Being able to flank as fast as you can with Slaanesh makes some fights a lot easier than if you had to fight them head on

>>529012290

>>529012193
Who is this cutie?

Norsca would be better if they were renamed to Northman and included Kurgan, Tong and Hung in fact you do have Tong and Dolgans, the poster boy Kurgan tribe but they are fucking Norscans in the game

and new models would be nice too, half of the infantry is the same fucking model

>>529012638
Live long king

Norsca would be better if it had never existed... just like Total War: Warhammer.

>>529010516
I have never had any interest in multiplayer games or any form of competition, I like to play total war for the roleplay, power fantasy, and the simple joy of seeing lines of infantry clashing
>>529012417
yes, it increases all 4 chaos rosters by like 50%, because it gives them all the basic mortal units from WoC
the monogod rosters are exceptionally small already, and a blanket addition to all 4 of them makes a huge difference, even if it is all reskins

>>529011778
The people saying that exclusively autoresolve, where dorfs are op, and slaanesh gets fucked hard (and in the way they want)
In other words: they're bad.
Though it can also be that, like me, you hate playing slow races and just click more with the faction that can run circles around basically everyone else in the game.

>>529013005
>Rome 2, Isolation, Attila, Thrones of Brittania
lol
CA would've went bankrupt if it weren't for Warhammer, either that or they would've chased the success of Alien Isolation, either way TW would likely be dead.

my thorgrim campaign crashes every 5-10 turns during end turn right before its my turn again but then works perfectly fine after the crash
i am so goddamn confused

You know what?
I think I would enjoy these games much more if I never came here and paused, modded and played the game on normal/normal.
This place and legend ruined total war for me because I trained myself to always play optimally and without crutches and it makes the game boring as shit

What will be 40k initial factions?
Space Marines are auto include, and Orks, but as for the others its a mystery
I think it will be the usual suspects of Chaos Space Marines (black legion) and Eldar
One thing that makes me scratch my head is that the dlc potential for 40k is lower than fantasy if you take in consideration that some of the rosters are very small (specially some xenos and daemons) and not a chance gw allows legends or forge world in

>>529014847
Chaos definitely, 40kringe is pretty much all marines vs spikey marines at this point with xenos being NPCs

>>529014847
Imperium superfaction with IG, dpace marines, and mechanicum subfactions and further subfactions for all subfactions
Same system for chaos and eldar
Orks

there will never be a 40k TW and there shouldnt be its a tasteless setting that looks like it's designed by a 12yo

never ever 40 trannies you have dawn of war as your first and only good 40k game

40k is cool and all, but 50k is better

>>529012176
if you play slaanesh and nurgle like khorne you are quite literally retarded

>>529015780
>>529015583
the point of these posts is to intentionally be humiliated next year when 40k TW releases right?

everyone knows its in late stage development already

>>529015658

This is definitely a DLC though.

>>529015979
Yeah he gets off to it

>>529015849
possibly, but you can very realistically play khorne like slaanesh or nurgle

Chaos Warriors are more formidable than Jade Warriors.

Do you understand the pattern?

>>529013489
just become a modder yourself and you will see the incredible shortcomings and how easy it is to fix them yourself

>>529008380
Handgunners?
Even without any buffs they deal 1530 damage per volley. Assuming massive 33% of shots missing, it takes only 5 volleys from two handgunners to kill Durthu. Lmao.

>>529016005
The DLC will be the Heavenly Kingdom.

>>529016348
if you use artillery you're cheating

>>529016464
that's a grudging

>>529016376
if youre a retard who doesnt use all the things that makes nurgle completely different to khorne, sure

>>529016157
I was playing Helves, managed to barely clutch a win by archers shooting him for like 6 hours straight and then he had another treeman while a gorillion glade guards had to be constantly harassed... it wasn't a fun time.

>>529016553
and what makes nurgle different except for the skin you faggot

>>529014847
I can see 3 types of dlc for 40k. all of them smaller than fantasy dlc and supposedly cheaper
>Cosmetics dlc
If they implement actual customization for your army
>Named character dlc
This one is tricky, because in many rosters there are more named characters than unit "themes" while in some there is like, a single named character, they will have to rack their brains here about what to add without making the player feel like they are nick and diming it.
>Race pack
The same as current dlcs, but if they want to milk this, they will need to stop doing multiple races per pack and its just a single one like TK or Chaos Dorfs, on the other hand, they can make the mechanics more unique per pack this way.
GW is much more stingy about CA bringing back units from old editions in 40k than in fantasy because, well, 40k is still going and GW wants to sell models

>>529016095
for every chorf warrior there are 10 dorf warriors
for every chaos warrior there are 100 jade warriors

>>529005403
porthole cheat???

>>529016578
Magic, flying heroes, Kugath, plagues, high health/md aoe healing/blobbing combat style, the cycling building system

if you play nurgle like you play khorne, you are retarded

khorne is the epitome of single mother parenthood
>rawr rawr spering out so manly amirite?
it's noticeable how people who are into melee obsessed, barbaric factions always get suspiciously silent when you ask them about their fathers, they cling to a caricature of masculinity because they have no point of reference meanwhile actual humans play factions where people wash themselves

>>529017023
Excuse me but I'm a dawi enthusiast and I grew up (mostly) without my dad

What kind of tactics do you utilise when playing as Khorne?

>>529016996
you just described a green khorne

>>529017079
Ignore this post, I didn't see the part about factions that wash themselves.

>>529016996
I am not the Anon you are replying to but Nurgle really can just statcheck most of their opponents. All of their spells and auras are just a massive bonus.

I don't feel ok with slaanesh marauder description openly mentioning rape I prefer something more family friendly like murder so I play Khorne

Thinking about how Chaos Warriors of Nurgle have:
10000 health
49 melee defence
Poison attacks
75 leadership

Why doesn't Karl Franz try recruiting some of them?

>>529017505
that is irrelevant to whether the faction is similar in how it plays

I had a dream that Golgfag could teleport other armies and not just his own to contacts.

>>529017798
It would be very difficult to get a military alliance with Nurgle as the Empire, although I haven't tried personally
You're better off going Festus and vassalizing karl franz

You can, but it's a lot of annoying busywork. And my garrison can keep off a direct attack, but it can't directly challenge a sightly smaller stack raiding my shit. I know how to win these campaigns, it's just... What's the value add of your economy being attacked, except it forces you to spread yoursel even thinner than you usually are.

it seems that sometimes when a chorf settlement is captured it fails to convert buildings and crashes the game
a bit annoying but i guess purging the dark lands is now forced upon me

>>529019937
To be honest you could have the campaign map in space and planets vary on how many provinces are on them, small moons just have a battle on the moon, larger planets can have a few provinces. But then you'd need space combat and that'd make like two games in one and would be a lot of work.

the people who lobby for a count rework are empire players
hoping TCA will ruin counts just like they killed empire and manlets
it wont happen

>>529019937
Empire would be like the Empire from Dune
Orcs would be like the Krogan from Mass Effect
Dark Elves would be like an advanced version of the torturer/slaver society from Book of the New Sun

My brothers, there's been a lot of doomposting here recently. I am here to inform you that there is another way, blessed by Slaanesh himself.
I have started to do psychedelics daily, and they make the game feel new again. Like your first time, but better. It is the best of both worlds, the experience of a seasoned player, with the sense of wonder of a new player.
If you're getting bored and corruption mods aren't doing it any more, just do drugs.
That's all.

>>529020648
After years of browsing /x/ I have come to understand that true enlightenment is a lie, and base pleasures, such as become fully immersed in a game of war and fantasy, are the closest one can achive without being one of the lucky few.
Psychedelic drugs and total war are the key to achieving this earthly nirvana that is obtainable by all.
One day you will learn to appreciate this knowledge I am sharing with you, but until then keep enjoying your false scriptures, in the end all serve Slaanesh whether they want to or not.

>in the end
As all life is born to die, so all men are born to decay. There can be no succour in this world. As the centuries drag past our cultures will fade, just as our bodies waste and our passions cool as the winter of life approaches.
In time our mightiest cities shall crack and crumble, and our lofty ideals shall grow weary and jaded. For what are our achievements if not the follies of pride and ignorance?
All shall be forgotten with the passing of years. There will be no exceptions.
For who amongst us can escape the predations of time? Whom amongst us is beyond the inevitability of decay? That which is young can only grow old. That which is whole and sweet can only shrivel and sour. Nothing is permanent and nothing may remain without blemish. It is the fate of all things that they are bound to time, and time is the twin of decay.
So bend a knee, all of this world. Bend a knee all who would embrace their fate and thereby rise above it. Rise up, give in, surrender yourselves to the master of this world.
Father Nurgle is our sovereign and lord, and whether it be sooner or whether it be later, he will claim all in time.
And so this is how the world shall end; not with fire and tempest, but with the collective sigh of failed passions and lost hope.

Actually interesting, could be useful if diplomacy had more options.

Total War: Troy tells you the amount of turns it will take for your diplomatic reputation to recover.

>>529026156
Troy also has different kinds of resources that you can use for diplomacy.

>>529026156
3K, Troy and Pharaoh all have phenomenal diplomacy. The one thing it's missing is Shogun 2's ability to request Military access.

>>529032103
just blockading with a fleet is enough you dont even need land armies to take coastal settlements because of the garrison suiciding into you
holding the settlements of course wont be possible without land armies aswell

Why do factions reject trade deals ever?

>>529033808
Don't be mean to my wife..

>>529033974
because some fucking genius at creative assembly coded in a penalty for making trade agreements when you have more than 3

>>529033902

CA should add unit caps so doomfaggots will learn how to play the game properly

>>529033974
Because tariffs are bad.

>>529034240
Agreed
Unit caps would make this game insanely more fun

>>529033902
Lords of Change.
Just need a unit of Spawns or something to sit in the corner.

>>529034240
The game is balanced around gold cost not caps
The problem with doomstacking being a thing is an economy one

chaos factions have a ton of redundant units why would you for example ever bother with knights of nurgle if rot knights exist? why use Skullreapers when Wrathmongers exist? Half of Ogre roster could be scrapped too

So what's the reasoning behind the decision that the enemy AI gets to precision kite artillery rounds while you get a lobotomized toddler that can't even move off the spawn point if you have an AI on your side?

>>529034240
Unless you're cheesing the game from the start doomstacking is a mid to late game thing where you've already won and you're just messing around or going for cheevos.

>>529035271
why use any units when heroes exist

>siege Naggarond
>deploy spears and archers on the left, Alith and his shadow dudes on the right
>punch hole in wall with Vauls Hammer and rush all the shdow dudes through
>Take out the garrison bit by bit using ambushes and chokepoints inside the city
Sometimes this game is pretty great.

I sent Achilles down to Egypt to see if it was possible to marry Tausret as Achilles and while planning out how to best do it I threw my hat into the Pharaohbowl. Once you do that you go native, so all your kids are going to have Egyptian names, portraits and appearances.

I'm returning to W3 and was wondering if it's okay to ignore the Lustria mission as Yuan Bo and focus on Cathay instead

The more I think about it, the idea of a Champions of Chaos -style DLC for the vampire counts seems better. There aren't enough units for more than one DLC, but there are so many lords and heroes I want to see in the game.

Which Total War character has the most sex?

>>529045534

Though personally I'd rather they don't add new ones for last pass

>>529045382
Tried to get into this game.
But there was a point where the story just...didn't progress. I was flying my ship around in the void, visiting every system, and nothing happened.

Maybe I bugged it out or missed something. Shame, because Aurora and the corrupted forge world were really cool.

Playing Sisters (and Wood Elves) on Very Hard for the first time and I have 0 idea what Im doing, like the first 2 turns are fun because its the Druchii AI struggling to figure out what to do against ranged units they cant catch but if I decide to take their second settlement I find out theyve been raising an army composed of a good portion of repeater crossbow cavalry and theyll wipe me with ease. If I decide not to do this then theyll raise the stack anyway and if I try to stack my own army I get into a successful ambush that has a pyrrhic victory outcome on auto resolve but I cant for the life of me figure out how to win it. After the 2 uses of arrows on hawk riders are used, I try to have the deepwood scouts pepper down the dark riders they send my way but that just allows their corsairs to run up and destroy them, at least the Sisters will distract the repeater crossbow cavalry but after that my army falls apart, not to mention Flock of Doom does not do enough damage early on to help.

>>529045752
>But there was a point where the story just...didn't progress

This reminds me, last time I wanted to try out some mods for Medieval2 I downloaded LAA, but couldn't launch it? I had .NET framework, admin, whatever. I played it without and quit before even crashing. Is LAA no longer working/supported?

Basic mortars for Empire and Vampire Coast need an accuracy buff, they were not this shit in 2. Im not asking for them to be cheat tier like Dreadquake Mortars but they need to at least hit more consistently

The one time they did try to put some effort into it in Shogun 2 it was actually kinda fun and somewhat popular, it lasted for a long time. It's much more niche but I also like to hit up the Napoleon MP community when I sometimes get the urge. Warhammer just sucks for MP but it's by far the most popular TW for sp.

where will they place Yin-Yin the Sea Dragon on the campaign map?

putting aside the memes for a second, the official lore describes her as being daring and adventurous, so I imagine it's the perfect opportunity to have another Cathay LL outside the Cathay region itself
since Yuan Bro already starts in Lustria she has to go somewhere else, but what if she started in the Southlands close to Teclis?
her lore mentions her being close to the Elves, imagine like a reverse-Gelt situation where she has to help the High Elves and the forces of Order down there before being allowed back home

I think we'll get only get saga or de facto saga historicals, it's really not worth to put all that effort into a maybe success when you can just milk the Warhammer consoomers for all their pennies.
Sure Medieval 3 and Empire 2 might do well but there are a lot of unknowns to those projects.

>Infinite Museion
Trazyn the Infinite is a named necron lord whose gimmick is that he collects things of historical significance. "Things" has an extremely broad definition here, he has tanks, computers, plants, animals and people in cryostasis, but he even has some ridiculous bullshit like a Chaos warband permanently reviving the day of their deaths over and over in a closed timeloop that he occasionally goes into to offer them a way out if they'll just stop trying to steal the artifact they were trying to get on the day they died (they reject it every single time). Dude even has Ursarkar Creed frozen in there since the fall of Cadia. So a DLC where you get into his collection would be absolutely wild.

>Processional of the Damned
Sounds like a space hulk, which in 40k is basically ships or groups of ships that got rekt and are drifting through realspace. Usually they're there so a hapless group of idiots can go in to salvage, only to get eaten by genestealers (or whatever else took them down, the topical thing is usually genestealers). From the sound of that description, it's the obligatory big dungeon with multiple levels DLC Owlcat does for all their games. Ngl I'm never that big into them because it's usually just a battleground to test your character build in but they can be okay. Might be better here since I enjoy RT combat more than Pathfinder combat.

>>529049152
Trazyn is a bitch who is ascared of Tyranids

They should honestly just drop like 2-3 more evil cunts around Cathay, move Yuan Bo back and have Yin Yin in Lustria.

Do it.

in warhammer fantasy did the elves also birth slaanesh or not? Because in 40k it took like multiple star sistems of murder rape going non-stop for centuries to achieve that

>>529051191
Nah, in Fantasy Slaanesh is just simply there with everyone else from the start.

Didn't they patch that into the game since people were screaming that they couldn't handle Mazdamundi being surrounded by enemies and were getting steamrolled?

Aren't both the Lizardmen and Bretonnia due a rework in 2025?

>>529057251

>>529049040
Yeah I kinda pieced together that the Dryads are much better than the basic spearman unit they got, I grab like 4 of them in the first province before moving on to taking the first enemys capital

>>528928030 (OP)
Are these worth buying? I am kind of interested in the chaos dwarfs and the airship one, since I like dwarf campaigns.

Do the DLC from the first and 2nd game work with the 3rd and if so, those worth picking up? I hate this DLC practice myself.

>>529057856

friendly reminder they didn't fix the AI at all and it's still the same piss easy baby shit as ever.

>>529059886
Will Verminlords be announced soon? It'd be suboptimal for me to play as Skavens if an Skaven DLC will release soon anyways.

Anon, that faggot seems to being having a melty, I feel like we'll inevitably see them down the line. As for not playing them before a DLC, I think Skaven are mostly complete and fun, you could give it a shot with Ikit if you wanna weapon spam, Snikch if you wanna make skirmish heavy armies or Throt for monsters and mutations, could go for the others too, take your pic theyre all relatively fun except Tretch, he kind of just exists, confederate him instead if you want to use him that bad

>>529063275
Kys nigger, imagine feeling like you are owed something when you probably creamAPI it like the good little faggot you are

>>529063275
Tretch is indisputably the worst LL in the entire game, he does not deserve to be in the roster whatsoever. Just about any other option for Skavne would've been better.

Why do tomb king princes carry a halberd on their back when they're already wielding one?

>>529063761
I wish that I was strong enough to wield both a great shield and a halberd at the same time.

>>529063753
>Tretch

lmao

>>529064306
Yes. He's worse than all three of those. Cylostra and Ghorst are actually fun to play, and Alberic who is nothing but a generic Bretonnia LL, is still more interesting to use than Tretch is. Absolutely garbage LL.

>>529063753
>very high ambush chance

>Miao Ying aboout to have her dinner.

I really can't beat Skaven as Vampire Counts, autoresolve is always loads better, I can kill most of the units but the lords and heroes just seem to stick around and are absolute cunts to kill

The Empire is whole again, but at what cost?

With a final charge of the Empire's knights, led by the Mad Count of Averland, the last pieces of lost territory were retaken from the Kislevite upstarts. However, beyond a thin veil of lies and formalities, the Empire of Man is now ruled by a single merchant, the cutthroat Director of Marienburg. Once merely the richest man in the world, now a man of absolute power, who has half as many land ships crossing the Empire's provinces in his name, as he has convoys sailing all around the world, ever diligently working to make him even wealthier with no end in sight.

Very entertaining run and probably my favourite faction mod next to Araby. For about 40 turns it was rather tight, with the last 15 mostly being auto-resolving my way to the long campaign victory.
I would love some suggestions for the next campaign, anything goes except Empire, Cathay, Kislev and Norsca.

>>529070295
You literally just have to kill their lords and heroes and nothing else. If you kill the lord the entire vampire count army disappears.

>>529070705
Play Mazdamundi.

>>528928458
It's kind of too different with DLC and such as a factor to give a straight answer but as a rule the more lords that are released at a time the more likely it is(or even guaranteed) they will play exactly the same or their mechanics will not be different enough to distinguish anything beyond starting positions and some army comp differences

As long as the Druchi stay north of the Isthmus of Lustria they are within the boundaries of my autis- The Great Plan.

>>529072163
why would they nerf warriors of chaos?

>>529074464
Too many warhounds.
They need to FIX Warriors of chaos so the AI remembers how to recruit chosen.

Question...should I focus on upgrading economy first or units first? Like, if I have a choice between my +100-300 gold building and a unit that lets me recruit Tier 2 or Tier 3 (whatever Tier I'm not on right now) units, which should I pick? Assume either option, at least at the time, is selectable.

>>529074735
Usually pouring money into armies pays more than investing in infrastructure. Just make sure your armies are always doing something so they make you money from winning battles and looting instead of wasting your money on upkeep.

>>529074735
It depends on whether or not you need the better units right away or not, if you are going to be fighting a lot of difficult battles the military building is better, if you're fine with what you have then the money building is better
growth is always best to get first though

>>529075109
>right away
Probably not, but then I'll be addicted to the extra money and not want to clear the slot for a higher level military building

>>529074735
Depends on the race and the building. For example, high elves can last a long time on t1 units, but some others really can't. VCunts should basically never build military buildings since you can just raise dead for elite units, build the necromancer recruitment and rank buildings instead. Other races like Greenskins make so much more money from battles, sacking and raiding that having some better units can be better. For a general rule, I guess having strong early units like t2 or t3 can be a huge help early game (darksharts with shields, irondrakes, mournfang cav, etc), however you really just need the right units, and enough units, that your armies consistently win without huge casualties, and then economic buildings can help. For example a Rite of Primeval Glory army for lizardmen is ridiculously strong early on, but it destroys your economy and it's almost too strong, it's too much power and money concentrated in one army that it's inefficient (disband half of the units, and just cram them into your LL's army instead). All a bigger economy really lets you do is afford more armies, and stronger armies, and money from economic buildings lets you get there without as many battles (plus sacking, and raiding etc). Sorry for a rambling answer but it's a really broad question.

Is Kislev the city with the most unique buildings in WH3?

>>529074735
depends on race, kislev for example, absolutely abysmal early economy, you need units to fight for money to build up your provinces and get provinces in the first place.

high elves don't need to think about their choices at all, get the economic buildings. each lord's starting location has a special building that gives them better troops at t3 and you will use archers/spearmen regardless.

>>529071226
On it, any tips?

How am I supposed to not want to fuck this? They have asses like oiled cantaloupes.

>>529076635

>>529078214
100% contextual, if you are karl and nuln and boris are doing well you can sit back and build up a bit once your main province is secure.

if you are nuln, vlad is coming and its better to go to him but you also have campaign mechanics and like high elves you have a special structure that will give you access to higher tier troops.
