Dis iz da greenest an bestest chant in da world...
Tribute.
Long time ago me and me mate Skarnsik here,
We was waaghing down a long and bloody road.
All of a sudden,
Therez shined a shiny daemon,
In da middle of da road,
An he sayz!
Play da bestest song in da world, or I'll eat your souls...
Well me an Skarsnsik,
We'z looked a each other,
And we each said,
Zog.
And we played da first thing dat came to our headz,
Just so happen ta be
The bestest chant in da world,
Itz waz da greenest chant in da world.
Look into ma mask and it's easy to see
Gork and Mork means waagh, Mork and gork also means waagh,
Itz waz destiny.
Once every hundred thousand years or zog
When da sun duz shine
And da bad moon duz glow and da mushroom duz grow.
Needless ta say,
The khornate was stunned.
Whip-crack wen iz whippy tail,
And the daemon was done.
He asked us,
Be you tzeentchian?
And we said nah,
We'z just greenskins,
waagh!
Ah, ah, ah, oh, wo, a-yo!
Dis is not da greatest chant in da world, no.
Dis is just a tribute!
Couldn't remember da greenest chant in da world, yeah - no!
Dis is a tribute!
To da greatest song in da world,
Zoggit!
Itz waz da greatest song in da world,
Zoggit!
Dis is the bestest zoggin' chant, da greenest chant in da world oh!
And da weird thing is this me mates,
Da chant we chant on dat fateful night,
It didn't actually sound anything like dis chant!
Dis iz just a tribute!
You'z gotta believe me,
And I wish you wuz there,
Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, ah, oh!
Good Mork(or Gork),
Gotta waagh for dem,
I'm not so surprised to find ya can't stop dem!
Zoggit!
Zoggit!

>>529403428 (OP)
teutons had the best soundtrack of any total war game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itQuGl3CC9U

It is hot ...

I have just started a Be'lakor campaign, and I'm amazed by these guys' appearance. The look so cool but I have no idea which mods grants them to me. I must have added it to my load list months ago and forgot about it lol. I have only 124 of the active so it should not be too hard to find it.

These are REAL opinions that I've seen in teeweegee
>Mongols are boring
>pajama boys are cool
>CA will release Med 3
>CA won't release Med 3
>Generals are useless in the historical games
>Dwarfs are difficult to play
>Taurox is difficult to play
>MP is balanced
anybody got any others?

>>529404289
Darkshards suck.

>>529404289
Mongols are very cool people with a fascinating history and culture
pajama boys are cool if the pajama is pink
TCAL will release Medieval 3 April 2026
Generals are busted overpowered in Medieval 2 and Rome 1
Dwarfs are piss easy
Taurox(and all other Khornefags) are super easy as well
I've never played MP and never will

Bretonnia rework soon, friends!

>>529404841
bwo...

EVERYBODY SHUT UP
THERES A WOMAN HERE
I CAN SENSE HER
SHOW TITS

>>529404948
>bwo...
idgi?

>>529404289
Mongols are awesome.
And pajama boys are sovl. My respect to anyone who succesfully does pajama-party centric campaigns.

>>529405114
its not happening...

i have no idea what this means but it looks bad

>>529405329
Don't know the effects but tl;dr:
>Caledor just farted and a bit of excess chaos energy leaked out into the world, please understand, he's old.

>>529404289
ratfags were NOT a joint effort by furries, both 4chan locals and loosely organised discords groups trying to colonise another setting - who were actually the left over scum from the commies who were apoplectic with rage at Tehen being added. Since he is an analogy of "le Hitler" and they were in full TDS back in 2018 and thought they were genuinely fighting fascism shitting the place up.

Like typical commies, they were scared off by what stared back at them from the abyss with the brave beastmen rapist poster and then the inverse corruption posters that finally cleansed the general and made the degenerate ratfag posers finally lose interest as a result, who ironically were forced out by genuine wholesome hand holding and declarations of love and support between husbands and wives. Like a demon vs a crucifix.
Also the druchi 'larper' who may or may be an actual serial killer focused on animals and furries specifcally.

This did not happen and the above is NOT an accurate rendition of events, according to ratfags and plebbit 'raiders'.

>>529405329
Mon Dieu !
Bretonnie est tombée...

>>529405329
There is an english translation submod for it.

>>529405513
>Ratfags, lizardfags and beastfags not being the exact same shit.
Awful fanfiction.

skinks and luthors should be friends
your fat frogs are using you
when have you seen them join (you) in battle? all they do is just sit there

>>529404261

That'd be "Cult of the Possessed". They're from Mordheim. Adds a new hero type and unique lord as well.

>>529404289
I once saw an anon claim that Volound won, as a LegendGOD it was the funniest shit i've ever read.

So what do you guys think? Will 40k be based around 10th edition or the upcoming 11th?
So CA can actually be part of the process as it goes on.

Tretch gets so much ambush chance (+ some cunning heroes) that i ambushed through encamp stance.

Orcs and g*b**ns should be separate factions
Hate those manlets and their meatballs

>>529406434
Probably 11th since they'll launch right on top of it and it'll net them more opportunities for DLC.

750 hours in and I still haven't played Karl Franz lol
I love evil factions too much

>>529405707
>Beastmen in lore are absolutely rapists of the most prolific and worst kind and would male slaanesh blush
No one has a problem with beastmen posting degen filth because their faction are literally all about shit, piss, rape and blood. No beastmen pretends this is not true or try to justify it as anything else. Largely irrelevant to the setting.
>Lizardmen in lore are flesh automatons and have no capacity for anything sexual to the point that wiping out their spawning pools is not just the most effective, but is the only way to genocide them. They have nothing in common with rats or beastmen.
Lizardmen posters never try to state otherwise, with the exception of one late comer furry who tried to false flag with commissioned art no one takes seriously. Constantly maligned as 'liggers' in an attempt to make the 'nahtzee' lizards less appealing to so called white supremacists the original raid of the general was targeting.
>Skaven are nothing like furries and their attempt at co opting the faction. They are cruel and malicious by nature and literally eat each other more than any non skaven has ever killed skaven. They are a malignant cancer in the setting that eventually kills its host in the End Times.
The irony that capricious rat 'men' were the chosen avatar of commies and furfags is not lost on anyone.

Begone ratfag.

>>529407081
>No one has a problem with beastmen posting degen filth
I do.
I don't care it's loreful, don't dump your sexual fantasies here, you fucking degenerate creep.
Excruciating torture and murder is also canon to this setting, do you fucking see anyone dumping folders of gore and snuff videos?
You're just yet another creep trying to justify why you get to do it and not others.

>>529407367
I am not the beatsmen poster. He hasn't been around for years. Also the druchi animal rapist poster is still lurking. Please, continue to bait him.

I will not rest until my axe is blunted.
I will demand blood.
I will have vengeance.
I will slay everything.
I am not a Khornate warrior.

>>529407367
Begone, ratfag.

Yeah your a faget

>>529406443
>*CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH*
>WE IZ GOBBOS
>*CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH*

>>529408175
I don't think ratfags deny being faggots

>>529407081
>Lizardmen posters never try to state otherwise
Who do you think you're fooling, ligger?

>>529405502
>>529405678
got the submod, couldn't go back but the warning on the bar at the top mentions to be vigilant for "pink warriors"... I wonder what that could mean...

>>529404289
>>Generals are useless in the historical games
Actually true in Shogun 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfOTyfjDCI0

>liggers once again blaming everyone else for their constant porn spam
I'm starting to think the ratfags were innocent all along...

>>529409163
No cavalry is useless

>>529404289
>Cavalry is useless
Really weird one

>>529409226
Why is the chaos star 8 pointed when there are only 4 gods?

>>529409624
>there are only 4 gods?
does he know?

It's July. Did they reveal the third faction they're working on?

>>529409624
8 winds

>>529409852
Don't repost!

>>529407081
I seriously refuse to believe anyone genuinely wants to sexualize Lizardmen, they are dinosaurs and biological androids, it's pretty much impossible to sexualize them as they are, which is why all the "fanart" that attempts to do so creates utter caricatures that don't look anything like Lizardmen whatsoever.

>>529410409
>biological androids
you're going to upset the scalies
they will throw later editions in your face where the writing was getting worse and worse

>>529410231
It's not going to be until mid July at the earliest, my man.

Bretonniaposters are the best posters on this board.

>>529409852
I'd give the apple to Artemis, would piss off everyone but the tomboy is the objectively correct answer to the question of who is the fairest

>>529410409
people sexualise literal tiles anon also i'd fuck an android desu

lmao look at lustrian birthrates
its over for the lizardmen
lustria has fallen

DAMN saurus look like this???

>Reveal race 3 mid July
>DLC trailer late July
>DLC release mid July
grim, the game may be heading to the grave..

>>529405513
As a eastern euro commie pls do not mix me with your western faggy bourgeoisie leftists.
They would be sweeping nuclear poligons here.

>playing cao cao
>open unit recruitment and see those awful slow cavalry units
>instantly remember why i dropped this game previously
>turn cao cao into a ranged bitch because he has literal cheat tier stats and can recruit crossbows atleast
goddamn chinks and their colour coded autism making yellow hot garbage and purple somehow even worse
why must i be punished with the holy trinity of red blue green having the good stuff and none of the cool characters being any of those

>worshipping a gummy worm

>>529410405
Doesn't say that anywhere
>>529410782
I would make apple pie amd give everyone a slice

>>529411090
It'll all be worth it when the VC players and High Elf players seethe when the based Druchii get revealed as the third race

There should be a playable Fimir race.
Mechanics include capturing women by sacking enemy towns and cities.

I'd be pissed if I had to gift the apple. All three of the goddesses are petty bitches and I would be smashed by forces beyond my comprehension. Or goddess feet, I guess.

>>529411191
>blood doesnt even splatter it just has an opacity slider from 0 to 1
lmao

>>529410781
I agree, mon cheri
It is a burden we bare, gladly.

>>529410781
WHERE'S THE REWORK TCALUK?

>>529411191
I'm gonna be real with you, I genuinely can't play 3K without TROM anymore
it's by far the worst vanilla experience, other games are perfectly playable without mods even if I prefer them modded, 3K just sucks without the overhaul

>>529411663
I would be happy if they just made the vows auto complete if you fulfill the conditions. I keep forgetting to pick them. But if they really wanted to get fancy they could grant different boons based on which vow you undertake.

>>529411474
anon get your eyes checked

>>529411940
why dont they change them so the "rank up vow" "battle at sea vow" and then "rank up vows" arent the only options to pick seriously why the fuck are you gonna select a "win a siege battle in the jungle/desert" vow ever? Even as Repanse that shit is worthless

>>529411940
This and the green knight are the bare minimum

>>529410782
If Paris had been intelligent he would've disqualified all three for trying to bribe him. Zeus specifically told him that if any of the Goddesses attempted to cheat, he could do so, but he ignored this and went along with the bribery attempts anyways. Thus dooming himself and his people due to his greed. Paris and Troy got what they deserved.

Just found out that mermaidtard is a thread celebrity in the elden ring general. Didn't even know she played other games.

Just found out how hotdogs are made pretty cool actually

>Bretonnia
Sorry but NPC races are not a priority. Real factions like Lizardmen are more in need of an update.

he looks so glad-happy to be there surrounded by sweaty fat-thing musk~

>>529413181
>No Godwin Mermaid in the DLC.
Imagine Madison's disappointment.

>>529413142
if Paris was intelligent then he wouldn't be the Paris we know and >love

also isn't it funny that the only character in the Illiad confirmed to have a real world counterpart is that asshat Paris
wild

>>529413345
Thats after corruption rework.

>>529410556
Yeah, like the Marco Colombo story in 5th edition featuring the skink co-protagonist cheering on the killing of elves.

>>529411663
It's coming.

>>529413345
Liggers are the biggest NPC race of them all.
>Play a Lustria campaign hoping to fight Liggers.
>Fight vampires, Khorne, Skaven, Dark Elves
>Liggers all died off screen
You would think there would be Lizards somewhere in Lustria but there isnt.

>>529410409
>biological androids,
Nobody tell this guy about Nier and 2B.

>>529403428 (OP)
Not played since TWW3 release. Now there have been some dlcs and patches, I'm back.

What's your essential mods? I've forgotten them all.

>>529414171
At least 3 DE lords get to fight liggers early so that's your bet.

>>529414171
try not having 400 mods on you fucking retard

>>529414937
I only have 29 mostly visual mods, overly hostile anon...

The barest essentials

>>529411191
Yeah. Retinues system is not bad idea but it's done in awful way

>>529415512
that quick building upgrade mod lagged the hell out of the game in its earlier stages atleast

>>529414536
Mods I use every campaign (excluding reskins because there's a lot)
>Grandolph's Simple Dynamic Settlements Reborn
>Custom Matched Animations, Reload Animations, and the compatibility submod

>>529404289
>Taurox is difficult to play
you'd be surprised

>>529416080
Outside some bug fixes, reskins or mods that make game run or look better I only use that mod that let you switch buildings position in province slots.

>>529415512
How do you make The Old World Campaign playable ? Turns take an eternity to end and it's laggy as fuck. Am I poorfag or is there some special options to enable ?

>>529417260
Its not fixable. There is a reason CA doesn't add 6 gorillion factions and settlements to the map. Thanks to cheaters you know that reason now.

>Bloatworld

>cheats

>>529417525
I think it's also why CA did all those loading speed + file size updates last time. They're trying to make it so opening up Ind and Khuresh doesn't destroy the "brand new" 10 year old rigs of some of the players.

The best way to play chaos dwarfs is by allying with them and getting their units without the caps.
>but the forge buffs
the buffs are too high in upkeep once you have enough units and you've already won the campaign once you've obtained enough manufactories to sustain them

>>529418956
but there are caps for how much allied units you can get...

>>529418956
warrior frenzy and blunderbuss stalk is too good however

ITS UP!!! https://youtu.be/qyVHKTkMl44
>99.9% of players would quit
>Legend is in that top .1 percentile
Kek it do be true

Bets on news this week?

What are your favorite reskins?

>>529422540
Warhammer 3 is a good reskin of Warhammer 2.

>>529422742
>cheats

>>529417260
you need to nuke like half the minor factions in the game and its still horrible no matter what
play the "classic" old world map without massive bloat it atleast runs well

>>529422409
It won't be until mid July.

>>529423641
>the only news we'll hear is that the DLC is out

ToT will be a shadow drop.

0-4 Malekith
5-9 Katarina

It's over.

Why do we fall down?

>>529410409
> seriously refuse to believe anyone genuinely wants to sexualize Lizardmen
Niels. And he's not doing it to troll /twg/, he was into Worgen knots before finding Warhammer and before that an ORCEDposter.

way too many fantasois ITT

Volound could have prevented this

>>529425663
he was a prophet

>>529418956
>and you've already won the campaign
I have won the campaign turn 1. Does not matter, I play until turn 150 or something.

>>529425601
Soon you will have 40koids

>>529426365
Or sigmoids

>>529426315
Stop playing on easy/easy

>>529426490
I had a sigmoid colon once.

>>529426365
40kiddies deserve nothing
I will laugh when the next non-historical TW isn't 40K
screencap this

>>529381185
you still aren't understanding what equal value means. if the enemy has a million zombies that means you should have an equivalent value of things that kill zombies. if the enemy has a strong lord that means you should also have a strong lord, or units that are worth just as much. if you can't win empire vs vampire cunts without corner camping or ai abusing you are either playing with single digit apm, built a terrible army composition, or are actually trying to fight armies that massively out value your own. if it was actually impossible to win with equal value armies than it would be an impossible matchup in multiplayer, but it's not. empire has tools to deal with everything vamps can bring.

>>529426672
Have you heard of the high elves?

>>529411835
i installed a mod that lets every type use every unit because fuck that retinue garbage ruining the game

If you don't have new AI options and you are playing with mods and you think it's a Mixer mod fault, it's not. You probably have Immortal Empires Extended enabled.

that was a satisfying battle

>>529427524
dont worry some retard will still say its mixer without testing anything themselves

>>529427849
You are too angry about it, nig.

>>529427621
Only satisfying if at least one of your own units has to die

chaos cults are meaningless busywork and a resource sink
unless you're Tzeentch, I don't bother with them

>>529428220
Slaaneshi cults are a resource sink?

>Rakarth starts near Gorrok now
Fuck me

>>529428220
Cult rework soon.

>>529428460
they don't grant any good global bonuses and are only good for seduce budget reduction, which is a redundant mechanic if you aren't shit and are conquering settlements

>>529428495
Skulltaker, Skrolk and Harkon will all aggro him before you and between them stand a good chance of making sure he won't ever be a threat.

>>529414039

>>529427524
>>529427849
>Works on my machine
>Actually you just need to verify files
>Its because of a certain cheat
>No not that cheat, the other cheat
All I know is the button was there and now its not and CA mentioned moving it in the patch notes.

>>529426365
I remain unconvinced there is a 40k game in the cards, but if it does happen fantasois are getting it even worse than the histoids
any and all discussion will be derailed because of how similar the settings are, especially chaosfags good luck talking about the four gods of chaos without everyone defaulting to their 40k interpretation and origin story

Do you think that Be'lakor will be playable on day 1?

>>529429962
40K WILL NOT HAPPEN
how many times do I have to say this.
also it just couldn't possible work with TW

so, do tell me.
how would 40K (squad based combat) work in total war?

>>529430441
TCALUK will just have to make Dawn Of War instead.

>>529430441
It just becomes Dawn of War

>>529430220
hope it does anyway just so you fantasoys get FUCKED

>>529430506
>>529430518
*Halo Wars

>>529429962
I like how fantasy has actual other gods who can fuck shit up

>>529430558
>Implying fantaspergs and 40chuds aren't the same people
I will be playing both games, thank you.

>>529430441
Don't 90% of factions just charge into melee anyway? No difference from Total Warhamster.

>>529429735
Yeah, for some buttons are gone and people suggest different fixes that helped them. I can only suggest to do a clean wipe of CA appdata folder and workshop folder.

>>529430813
No, ranged is a big deal to several armies and you can field entire forces with zero melee.

>>529430441
>Space Marines (16)
>Imperial Guard Troop (120)
What is the issue exactly?

>>529431415
But even Girlyman's space marines charge into melee against orks instead of just digging trenches, so I mean everyone is basically a melee faction.

>>529431438
The issue is a Space Marine being able to die >:(

Honestly, I'd rather they do an Old World saga or even AOS than 40K...40Kidddies are the most insufferable subhumans I've ever shared a general with

I think 40k game should have Trench warfare. Swarm factions with guns should force trenches battles.

>>529431931
Valarak's leaks (not personal speculation, which he himself says is guesswork but the actual leaks he gets from credible sources) are always right.
So we are getting it eventually

>>529431580
No, not really. Melee is possible but most armies prefer to stay ranged.

>>529431438
because it is shit and gay because the game will just turn into dawn of war when you have enough money to ignore imperial guard

can't wait for the weekly crumb of news tomorrow!

>>529430441
okay, get this, you have a squad of like 16 space marines as the default, and they get to SHOOT, MOVE AROUND, CHARGE and even GET INTO COVER. I know all of these concepts may be new to you, as you seem like the type who prefers to lick windows or bash your head against the wall while saying DOIG! but CA actually does have the tech to make units MOVE, SHOOT, CHARGE and FIND COVER. It's magic, I know!

>>529432406
>but CA actually does have the tech to make units MOVE, SHOOT, CHARGE and FIND COVER.
Proofs?

>>529432351
Me too! I hope that they showcase a 1v1 battle test between Dechala and Tyrion.

>>529432406
>Move
Citation needed, they get stuck on even the most minor obstacles and can't get through gates or other chokepoints without massive issues.
>Shoot
Citation needed, a model being slightly off base makes all of them stop shooting and there are times even when lined up properly several of the units simply don't fire and CA has never fixed this.
>Charge
Citation needed, units constantly get stuck on other units in charges rather than having the clean unit collision of older games, this is getting worse all the time.
>Get into cover
Citation needed, CA cannot effectively build map objects that would do this with how badly they understand and utilize the TW code.

>>529432406
so dawn of war?

>>529432854
based truthposter
40kiddies actually believe they'll get a game where ranged gun combat works and isn't complete AIDS lmfao

>>529430441
It'd feel clunky as shit to anyone who isn't a little jimmy 40k nutjob unless CA spent the charlemagnes to make it much more suitable to ranged combat. Which frankly wouldn't be such a bad thing - make that a concerted project effort and then you can actually do

You know what actually I was trying to find the CA poll of settings, there's this one from leddit and I don't feel like converting webp to png so I'll link it fuck you https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1agkorj/new_survey_from_sega/

But that poll of settings and they listed fucking Battlestar Galactica as an option. To which barely any combat exists on the ground in that relative to in space. So we're thinking about it wrong in that it'd be Total war:40k.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4AGdMu4c4k

Vid related was by CA. They'd probably want to use the total war name for brand recognition, but when they were at least having the slightest consideration of frakking BSG that means they aren't thinking in the "reskinned total war" format necessarily.

just make 40k tw an rts and be done with it

>>529432216
Just like TWWH is shit and gay and just turns into 20 model World of Tanks once you have enough money to ignore State Troops...

>>529433664
Meant the leddit link isn't to a poll of settings, I couldn't find that one. Rather, it is to features someone would want in a future total war. The salient stuff being a choice of more tactical features in real time battle such as air support and dynamic cover, or a new type of RTS battle such as naval, airborne, or space battles. There's more conventional ones too, but the heart of my point is CA doing 40k might, except for the brand title of total war, not really be total war as we know it. Just as Spartan Total War was exactly that: brand name but nothing total war otherwise.

So yeah, if you do "Mod reskin of total war 40k" it'd be fucking trash. But if CA is just using the brand name and approaching it as its own thing I'm not so averse to that.

Sirs, I wish to redeem Tides of Torment.

>>529433664
>>529433046
Of course it'd be clunky broken mess, this is CA we're talking about. Hell, Total War Warhammer is a clunky broken mess but look at all of us gobbling it up. That isnt an argument.

>>529433860
nigga please we both know that the vast majority of the game is rank and file combat

>>529434082
*head-wobbles in agreement*

>>529434159
... Just like 40k game could be mostly something else than space marine doomstacks until you're snowballing so hard you can afford 20 elite units in each doomstack.

>>529434082
you will not redeem it until late september bloody bastard benchod

>>529434128
I'm a pharaoh chad, that game actually works because CA sofia actually know how to make games

>>529434357
I don't know what a benchod is but I suppose I shall acquiesce and wait until September + however many months CA delays the DLC for.

>>529434963

>>529435831
What factions? It's 40K, nothing matters outside of Space Marines, and their sidekicks, the rest of the Imperium forces. Everyone else is just a punching bag and jobbers.

>>529435831
All factions can realistically make it
40k isnt fantasy, there is no pseudo factions like ind, cathay, nippon and araby

>>529427621
I played a Wurrzag campaign a few months back. Decided to use giants in his army seeing as he buffs them, and as I have never really used them much before.
It was very fun using 2 giants in his army to smash enemy lords and heroes over the head and killing them in 1 or 2 hits. I think it was one of the few campaigns I can remember where I didn't feel the need to bring heroes along with my main army to protect the lord, as the giants did a good enough job of it themselves.

>>529437473
lmfao this

>>529435919
I remember somebody said, based on leaks, there would be THREE MORE DLCs this year kek

>>529435831
I think unless 40k flops we will see every race sooner or later. Besides regular Marines that are guaranteed to be present, I also like Tau and I expect them to be game 1/2 DLC or a mid-early DLC if it's all in just one game. Their popularity is quite high (for a non-Space Marine) and growing

>>529435831
>Sisters of Battle
Total DLC material. I can straight up already see it. Probably for the first game if they're focusing on the Imperium.
>Imperial Guard (Tallarn)
Imperial Guard will be a very early, if not release faction, because they're kinda obligatory to put all over the place, but I have like zero fucking hopes my favorite regiment will make it in. I'm already dubious they'd do anything but cadians, but even if they add some other regiment it's totally gonna be Catachan/Krieg, not my desert boys.
>Votann
Totally getting the Chorf treatment. Probably a very late faction to add.
>Harlequins
It'd be incredibly based of CA to flesh them out into a full, autonomous faction, but I'd temper my expectations, there's high chances they just add them as a craftworld eldar unit/LL option.
>Genestealers
Potential to be the single most unique faction to play in the game. Like a mix of Skaven, Slaanesh and Changeling in the campaign map. But I don't see them getting early, for starters they need to release after Tyranids.
>Tau
Seems like a very safe and straightforward faction to add, totally would be added to either 2 or 3 as the "We need someone that's relatively morally alright to sell better" starting faction.
>Alpha Legion
Just CSMs with a unique infiltration mechanic. Could arrive very early, could be a later addition to an early faction.

Which 40k factions will be horde factions?

>>529437473
Yeah got to have that "Close to Tabletop" feel

The DLC format will change after Tides of Torment.
No more three-way DLCs.

>>529437859
all of them

oh ffs now the 40kiddies are shitting up the thread with their autism

>>529437859
Fleet-based Marine chapters.
Tyranids.
Harlequins.
Dark Eldar would need some kind of super unique system where they're mainly horde-based but they also have a single superbase that's extremely hard for any other faction to reach.

Are we going to learn who is the final race in the next month which begins tomorrow?

>>529438113
Okay let's talk about Star Wars TW instead
My predictions for the first game:
>Rebels
>Empire
>Mandalorians
>Hutt Cartels
Second game:
Uhhhhhh

>>529438409
50/50
We do or we don't

>>529437857
Clowns will likely be shared dark/craftworld eldar dlc same for ynnari
Agents of Inquisition will likely be sprinkled on imperium factions
Alpha Legion will probably just be a black legion skin

>>529437859
I see a toaster man and I think his sister's silence but who in the world's bigger than that whose female in 40K?

>>529438548
female custard

>>529438447
Ok in game 2 there will be
>Bothan (they all die within the first 5 turns every campaign)
>Naboo (they don't fucking do anything and when they do you'd rather they weren't because Jar Jar Binks is their LL)
>Ewoks (gamebreaking)
>Wookies (they start the game already dead as a faction)

>>529438548
That's the famous female Custodian that made a million grognards cry out in pain, then be silenced forever.

>>529438329
>Dark Eldar would need some kind of super unique system where they're mainly horde-based but they also have a single superbase that's extremely hard for any other faction to reach
So...maelstrom?

>>529437859
Russ.

>>529438868
Why does she retain normal proportions while being that size and more importantly why is the techpriest offering them a McDonalds order

>>529435831
Is there an inquisition faction? I liked playing as them in Dawn of War UA

>>529438963
Yeah, kinda, but way more over the top. They should play more like Endless Legend Cultists. Just like, the single biggest, most complete, most heavily garrisoned settlement/"planet" in the whole game, but that's it.

But there should also be some way to strike back at deldar in some way that's an actual inconvenience to them and doesn't require assaulting fucking Commoragh every time, otherwise fighting them as other factions will be extremely frustrating.

>>529439245
There is one, but its more of a ragtag band than a faction

>>529439142
>why is the techpriest offering them a McDonalds order
genestealer offering infected slop

>>529439142
Custodes aren't like space marines where you just pump someone full of hormones and implants and let them grow (resulting in tiny head syndrome etc), they're made cell by cell so they can have everything enlarged in proportion and look more "ideal".

>>529439245
Kinda. The Inquisition is more "take a little bit from all these other factions to create a mixed army" than a proper faction though. If we get Dogs of War in Fantasy before CA finally pulls the plug, they could potentially serve as a base template for a future Inquisition faction.

>>529439245
The only unique thing they have are the Inquisitors themselves, everything else comes from other Imp factions

>>529439307
I agree that dark eldar should be irritating fucks, but I think that the best way to do this would be realspace raids that work essentially the same as hordes and they keep coming back

>>529439597
It should be more like the rifts in Realms of Chaos campaign where a gate opens and spawns armies until you deal with it

>>529439767
That could work

I just hope that they nerf single entity generals in the next one.

>>529439767
And you can get inside and fuck up Commoragh yourself to get them to stop permanently! Or just grab back a bunch of goodies.

Yeah, that'd work real well.

>>529439767
That doesn't completely fit, they wouldn't just come through the portal and stay.
They need a mechanic where once they get enough slaves and loot they leave on their own but if you stop them you can get your shit back and they wont appear in the area for awhile.

>>529440072
>Go inside Commoragh yourself
You and your armies wouldn't be coming back, my man.

>>529437473
Space Marines alone have more unit variety than the entirety of historical games
*dabs on u*

>>529439414
>space marines where you just pump someone full of hormones and implants and let them grow (resulting in tiny head syndrome etc),
Okay now I want to see an average Space Marine outside of his Space Marine armor wearing regular clothes or possibly even underwear next to a normal person.

>>529440282
It's happened multiple times in lore, dude. Hell, deldar get each other's homes invaded as a form of politics/banter. And getting back out is not that difficult.

The fact you invade the realms of Chaos in Total War is WAY more improbable and dangerous.

Medieval 3 when?

>>529440537
Historii is over.

Should my 2nd general for Yuan Bao be in Cathay and deal with the vampires there? What should I be doing with Shang-Wu?

>>529440710
CA confirmed that they are developing another historical Total War.
There will be absolutely no pivot... not this time.

>>529440537
After 40k

>>529440536
Is it really? I mean in the latest lore the Emperor of Cathay casually goes in and slaughters hundreds of Greater Daemons when he feels like it so it really doesn't seem like that big a deal.

>>529440928
>historical
Well sure but remember that CA's standard for a historical game these days are things like 3K, Troy etc.

>>529440928
>inb4 it's another pseudohistorical like Troy

>>529440420
there are things men are not meant to see

>>529440072
>And you can get inside and fuck up Commoragh yourself
Commoragh is just a city in the webway, if Imperium found a web gate leading there they would destroy the whole city in a day.

>>529440937
The Emperor didn't go to Realms of Chaos, just next to the gates.

>>529438009
Agreed.
>Next is Dogs of War(Race Pack)
>After is Vampire Bloodlines(CoC style)
>2-Way dlc
>2-Way Dlc

>Is Warp really so dangerous? I mean in the latest lore awoken Emperor casually goes in and slaughters hundreds of Greater Daemons when he feels like it so it really doesn't seem like that big a deal

>>529437859
I like big ladies, so this is a big improvement to the setting's lore

>>529443307
marines!

>>529440003
Warhammer 3 already supports models with different stats and attacks inside singular unit (see: Bodyguards mod where lord can have bodyguards with different attacks and hp than the lord itself), so they could nerf them already by making them weaker but with elite-tier bodyguard unit.

>>529443956
That's interesting. It isn't quite Total War but Dawn of War has an Imperial Guard hero that is specifically focused hiring lots of different units to be part of his squad.

>>529443710
t. Tzeentch

>>529445141
A reminder that Tzeentch will be receiving both a rework and an FLC lord before 2027.

>>529445141
>not "t.zeentch"
low effort
my intellect is wasted on you asinine mortal

>>529442725
Doesn't really seem like much of a difference, wasn't the whole thing that made the Chaos realm so dangerous the tons of Daemons? And the Emperor casually swatted them down like flies. It's pretty hilarious that Aenarion was supposed to be a big deal for killing just four of them when the Emperor can kill over a hundred times that, plus he doesn't die doing it.

Are anti-40kucks fantasy fags terrified of the prospect of being forgotten or genuine trve vnderstanders with actual gripes?

CA Sofia can't be trusted with any time period where Turks exist

>>529446593
I'm not anti-40K, but I do feel a slight bittersweet feeling at the idea that it might mark the end of Warhammer Fantasy. We've had a full decade of it and even though it's obvious it had to end someday, I'm probably going to miss it.

Hopefully rather than just call it quits entirely CA keeps a small team doing DLCs every once in a while to incorporate some of the more obscure LLs. And I still cannot fucking believe we still don't have Neferata holy fucking shit.

>you can't train a few extra spearmani to leave in a settlement
Bruh

>>529446593
40k is massively more popular than fantasy and the fanbase has a lot of overlap so some people are afraid a 40k game will permanently kill fantasy
not entirely unfounded fears, I just checked and warhammer vermintide has about 10% the active playerbase of 40k vermintide and iirc tableslop fantasy was killed of because the entire fantasy range was being outsold by the space marine faction alone

>>529450773
>outsold by the space marine faction alone
This doesn't really give a real measure of scale here, that applies to a lot of things including the combination of multiple other 40k factions

>>529450773
40K Vermintide is actually supported where as Vermintide was abandoned like twenty times.

>>529450773
Lets be fair here Vermintide is significantly older and Darktide just had their first big actual content release (new class). You are still correct that 40k is much more popular though.

Why do people like burning head so much? Every time I use it it just backfires and kills half of my frontline

uh oh

It says decisive defeat but that can't be right, right?

Because Legend was shilling Lore of Fire as the best lore for the longest time during WH2 lifecycle.

>>529463783
Is he wrong thougheverbeit? It destroys undead and anything with regeneration, Flame Storm is powerful even when it misses, Burning Head is strong early on if you arent retarded on how you fire it, the flame weapons buff is good too. I prefer Shadow personally but theres so many things just weak to fire in this game its hard not to conaider it really strong at minimum.

>>529453485

>>529465601
Lots of lores were in good spot balance-wise and still are. Legend was heavily biased towards fire because more often than not he was fighting either Skaven or Undead, but once he started using Lore of Life for more than just healing he quickly changed mind that Life is superior because on top of healing it also had heavily damaging spells like The Dwellers Below. I have no idea and don't care what he thinks now.

does the game actually engage with the player now or is the game still over by turn 10

>>529468729
Not yet. Sofia is on it.

Probably the worst take on twg is "mods are cheating". Nothing takes the shit cake on that retard take.

>>529469783
The Endgame Crisises are genuinely the worst thing in the campaign and were a massive waste of time and money.
>you can turn them off
Yea that doesn't make them good. They shouldn't have bothered with them, map painting late game is already a massive pain in the ass, this isn't Shogun 2, you don't need to make it even harder when late game comes around. Its already a massive slog.

>>529468729
AI seem much more active and aggressive with the new settings on

People thinking that 40k isn't possible at all are fucking brainlets, this is a videogame, anything is possible.
There's a high chance of it just being Dawn of War with a Total War frame work and people would eat that like no tomorrow.

>>529473712
Don't forget that CA also made Halo Wars, so they do have experience with sci-fi tactical RTS.

>>529473712
>>529474004
those are both small scale squad based rts games, not total war

>>529475353
total war is a small scale squad based rts game, not total war

>>529473712
Whether or not it's doable is irrelevant really. CA's floundering with everything else and they smell the money. They'll be desperate to recreate the success they had with fantasy

>>529475416
don't ever post again you fucking imbecile

it'll be age of sigmar
it's extremely popular and unlike 40k doesn't require an engine rework because it's fantasy

also it's the canonical sequel to warhammer fantasy, so it just makes sense

TW Hundred Acre Woods

>>529437186
Giants are generally worthless because they are pin cushions for ranged units, but give them physical resist and they become viable.

>>529437857
Genestealers would be a good initial nid release because they are basically scouts or harbingers for the hive that has yet to arrive at a particular system.

>>529465601
It's good but it's not always optimal. Against Undead or Nurgle it's easily the best but bringing a fire mage to fight Chorfs is a waste of a slot.

what if TW where all the men died and sexy women in military uniforms had to kill and torture each other as humanity gasps its final breath?

My personal Total War Wishlist;

-More Warhammer 3 DLC
-Warhammer Age of Sigmar
-Medieval 2 Remastered

What part about PEAK do you not understand?
Beastmen revile civilisation. Organised, balanced armies are symptoms of civility. A true gor just forms a pile of violence that would make the orks weep with jealousy, and charge into the fray until killed or the enemy is.

If you win, then the rape and feasting begins. Not necessarilyin that order

>>529494279
Too long, just announce Shogun 3 already.

>>529494180
Yes, his scheme in Ulthuan ends up with him getting the SoK, you want to rush that theater anyway because N'kari is one of his best forms.

>>529494180
Never played changeling but AI cant declare war on you anyways so why do you care about relations? Just build symbiotic buildings to the factions you want to ally.

>>529446593
my actual gripe is that spess muhreens are the worst part of 40k and also the most popular because of the sheer number of droolers meaning the game will be nothing but muhreen wank on the level of skaven in wh2 where everything else gets neglected

>>529491242
Its because it doesn't seem to be a meme like a lot of the others, some retards seem to actually genuinely believe that.

>>529494883
Space Marines are the protagonists, cope and rope.

What's a LL that'll force me to fight more battles? I tend to turtle a lot until I can make full stacks.

>>529462515
thats because the interns were not told the base health of every unit is 8

>>529496851
ARBAAL THE UNDEFEATED

>>529496851
You are pretty much stuck with factions or LL that need battles to get ahead like Vampires and Khorne or don't care about losses but have no choice to fight like Settra.

Most LL and factions are lend themselves to turtling unless you impose your own restrictions like Franz having to hold the empire together and save it from imploding turn 10.

>>529494883
CA did chorfs, cathay, and vampire coast as major factions, i'm not worried about that

Problem with that is that a genestealer campaign would absolutely need a mechanic where every planet you conquer eventually calls in a tyranid fleet and gets nommed. Can't do that if the tyranids are not in the game.

Also holy fucking shit why is this general so dead today?

>the cuck world not even in cuck 5

Warriors of Chaos
Chaos Dwarfs
Greenskins
Wood Elves (kind of)
All of these races have an additional way to buff specific units. What other races could benefit from a mechanic like this, and how much would be too much before it gets annoying like what happened to teleport mechanics?

I think Tomb Kings could benefit with a scrap-like mechanic, it would fit the theme of slowly building up your armies, and help make their campaign a little more interesting as well. It would probably need to be a little weaker though since they have other strengths the greenskins don't have.

Post some facking news!!!
*bangs drums harder*

Why can't 'CAL just tell us in one sentence in one Xitter post or pisscord post whatever "Hey Total war fans the third DLC faction is X" they don't have to reveal anything?

So, entire month passed without HE reveal for dlc?
What the fuck CA are thinking?
Shit should have been RELEASED month ago

47 mins for Dark Elf reveal.

>>529515598
I wouldn't even mind.

>>529514926
Because then they can't get their free marketing HYPE by letting the semen slurping toobers make 5000 videos to deconstruct the 13 second teaser they plan to drop.

>>529515094
Smol indie company, pls understand

Total Waste

What if third race unironically turns out to be Bretonnia

Luthor Harkon cost: 900
Count Noctilus cost: 1400

What is your greatest Dark Horse Theory on the third position? Mine is Tomb Kings, with Vampire Coast also getting a future dlc alongside Dogs of War

>>529516869
That'd be awesome desu but ratplayers would seethe hardcore

they are really good now, a little slow as far as cavlary goes though so you really have to pick your fights and commit to them
they're like the light cavalry equivalent to monstrous cavalry
the chariot isn't as good because it gets stuck but the charges on it are disgusting so you can still make good use out of it

Remember when CA said third faction reveal in late June only to change it to July without any explanation or even acknowledging the change?

>>529519732
Just get autoclicker. Every time you issue move order the unit moves/turns on the same frame. With autoclicker set to every frame even infantry lords can push through like chariots (like AI does already since it issues move order every frame)

Yes. It was because they

True Roman ancillaries for true Romans!

We will be rewarded for enduring this suffering with the new title reveal at the end of the year. Medieval 3 will be the greatest total war of all time. New engine, returning features, lots of polish, full mod support.

It's not a month delay.
It's they didn't start that work until 29 days after the deadline.

Is Rome 2 with all the DLC worth it on sale?

>>529526691
3rd faction comes with the trailer for an august release

>>529526750
If you really like the time period then sure. The truth is that base game Rome 2 actually has quite a lot of content.

>>529526851
I think I'll chance the base game and then if I really get horny I'll buy what DLC interests me.

>>529526835
No.

>>529526750
wrath of sparta is never worth it and neither are the smaller packs
all the other campaign/faction DLC are worth it IMHO

>>529527159
Yes

>>529527261
Nuh uh

>>529521872
>make a new engine
Almost one makes a "new" engine from scratch. they'll update this one and they'll probably outsource most of the work anyway.

>>529475353
>those are both small scale squad based rts games
Total war 40k will be more tactical so they already have experience with Halo Wars 2, it's not really rocket science.
They can have gigantic maps with clusters of cities or ruins for a more tactical approach withing that map. I'd imagine something akin to Ground Control 2.

>>529521872
CA has gone on record, years ago, outright stating the patch jobs and spaghetti code inflicted on the Total War engines - all versions - are virtually unusable and work only in spite of themselves.
No one who actually built the original warscape is around anymore in CA and no one who worked under them is likely around either.

As for them making a new one...they do not have the talent, most devs don't anymore.

>>529528957
>Ground Control
Actually amazing comparison, it's incredible how people forget about that game. Now I can fully imagine 40k working for real.

How do I fight Tamurkhan as Astragoth on turn 25 when I am still fielding slaves

>>529529382
I don't know bog him down with a steady stream of slaves as hobgobs shoot him down maybe?

>>529529257
I fucking loved that series to bits... sadly no one will make something like it again.
TTW40K has a chance of coming close to it though.

>>529529382
Bro your Hobgobbo Gorduz stack? Your Wolf Riders? your Blunderbusses which will make quick work of Kazyk or Rot Knights?

You think Warscape is bad? Just wait until you see Total War on the Unreal Engine 5.

>>529529756
>>529529864
He has 3 beasts of nurgle and 3 heroes in his army so I'm assuming that my back line will be compromised instantly. Also the Gorduz stack has to defend another settlement separately

>using Gorduz buffs
Hobgoblins are supposed to suck, using buffs like Gorduz does to make them strong is actually cheating sorry

>>529530156
Chorf campaigns are designed with Gorduz early game in mind

>>529530156
I'm going to plap your anus

12 mins.

>>529529382
Just tested. It takes 7 volleys from 2 Blunderbusses to kill Tamurkhan on Toad Dragon. Stop being bad and field something else than slaves.

>Greasus campaign
>Prepare myself mentally for Ku'gath and Ghorst in the south and Grimgor to the north

Pretty comfy, I like campaigns that just let me sit around at the start

>>529530775
read
>>529530069
The last time I fought Nurgle in another campaign he walked all of his heroes and SEMs straight through my front line into my ranged units

>>529526492
Animations really make or break a unit. Ghoul Kings can get pretty good stats, but if they get surrounded by chaff they get fucked. They'll attack maybe once every 15 seconds since infantry models blobbing to attack him push the model he is attacking by 0,01cm, causing the target to be out of range.

>>529530248

On a tangent newfags love to tout the "but muh cover systems" argument despite non-docked cover being a thing in earlier installments. And hell, why would a dockable cover be an issue either? Thats how it worked in DoW2 too.

>Why are my slave stacks losing against 7 SEM doomstacks
Have you though that maybe you shouldnt win if you're fighting Tamurkhan with slave stacks? Its a strategy game and you spread yourself too thin.

news..?

Total war Halo in 5 years

>>529432505
Total War: Pathfinder when?

>>529531498
"Cover system" is one of the biggest copes from these fags, it's literally the easiest system they could implement in a 40k game.
Then there's flying jets, how they tackle the strategic maps, how they tackle more tactical fights and so on. Which is all doable btw.

>>529531595
I mean they literally already confirmed the reveal show for december, so a few more months.

>>529532971
They didn't confirm anything though?
Meds!

>>529531818
Astragoth's stack is as follows:
>1 Astragoth
>1 bvll centaur hero
>1 infernal castellan
>1 blazing beards of basedjak
>4 chaos dwarf warriors with great weapons
>3 orc indentured servants
>3 chaos dwarf blunderbussies
>3 hobgoblin archers
>2 bvll centaur renders with shields
>1 bale taurus
Tamurkhan's army is picrelated

>>529518715
Both lizard and elf variety of cold one spear riders are S tier cavalry

>>529531656
let me give you a quick rundown
>Imperator Augustus Campaign
this is FLC, Caesar is dead and it's now up to Octavian to reunify the Empire
or don't, you can just be a simp and pick Cleopatra instead
>Empire Divided
moves the timeline forward and keeps the base map
another very cool DLC, focusing on Imperial Rome and the
>Rise of the Republic Campaign
moves the timeline back and zooms the map in on Italy
pretty cool if you like early Rome, they're still using hoplites at this point which is interesting
>Hannibal at the Gates Campaign Pack
based on the second punic wars, map is Italy, Iberia and bits of North Africa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWZCfdDW4NQ
best trailer in all of Total War's history
>Caesar in Gaul Campaign
similar to Hannibal in scale but about Julius Caesar in Gaul
map is Northern Italy and France basically
>Wrath of Sparta
this DLC actually sucks, imagine a Peloponnesian War campaign but without Sicily or Eastern Aegean
it's literally just Greece and other shit is happening off-screen, it sucks

as for Faction DLCs
>Black Sea factions
probably my favourite, they're very versatile factions with both Greek and local units
you can make some really cool hoplite/horse archer combos
>Nomadic Tribes
adds Scythian factions, cool if you like cavalry focused factions
>Greek States
Athens, Sparta or Epirus
literally just greeks, if you really like Greeks sure but Macedon is already in the base game and the Black Sea Greeks are just more interesting
>Desert Kingdoms factions
arabs riding camels, they're alright
>Pirates and Raiders factions
it's the Balkan DLC
these factions actually suck, their units are just kinda shit

>>529533087
Retard.

>>529533501
Yeah your army kinda sucks. 3 orc labs + 3 hobgobbo archers are wasted slots on your main army. Replace them immediately with 2 flame cannons 3 chorf warriors and 1 more blunderbuss. Buff your frontline with flaming sword to give all of them fire attack while triggering your passive.

Also a lone bale taurus is kinda useless against that army.

>>529526750

>>529531067
Chariots would probably be better if infantry units actually had animations to panic as they go by
And maybe if chariot units actually made sense
Maybe inflict a mass penalty on infantry units that arent braced or have charge defense?

>>529533087
>talking to retards that have schizophrenic hallucinations of proof they can't ever share

>>529528957
Total War 40K will be on the warscape engine and thus be a piece of shit.

>>529534163
I have only just taken out Grimgor and I haven't really had time to revamp Astragoth's stack to something good. Tamurkhan had just beaten Kholek (who I was friends with) and declared war on me as I was fighting some ogres who were friends with Grimgor. Also this is my first chaos dwarf campaign so I'm still learning about them as I go.

>>529534467
Then stop playing warhammer fantasy in the warscape engine.

>>529534971
I already did.

I dont follow w3 news, what's in the next dlc besides Slaneesh?

Theyre unironically your worst unit, both with Gorduz embedded in a hobgoblin army and without him

>>529539619
I get the people being tired of marine favouritism by GW (Which has been true since 1987) but at this point you fucking whingers are just modern "ugh, ultrasmurfs" "ugh, Grey knights".
The worst ones, by far, will be Imp Guard wanting all 700 patterns of tanks and their specific regiments AND access to practically every other facet of the Imperium war machine that are not marines. The bitching and moaning about Tau beating the guard in melee without Kroot and so on.

CA actually has an out to avoid marine wank anyway and should just follow relic's example and make a custom chapter.
I say this as a 25 year Black Templar TT player.

Does every DLC really REALLY have to have a SEM for every faction?

>>529534260
The chariots just dont fit into wh3's spaghetti code
1) In addition to mass, models in contact with eachother cause both to slow down even if they arent fightinh. This makes disengaging ridiculously sticky if you arent using autoclicker or deliberately abusing spaghetti code to put your units into charge mode which ignores stickiness by charging another unit behind your target
2) if even one of your models is bogged down, chariot forgets movement order and u-turns back to get slaughtered because Alzheimers is apparently part of core game mechanics
3) Terrain doesnt matter shit in WH3... Except for chariots. If you charge them uphill, they wont push through shit. Downhill they do massive pushthrough. Since all field battle maps besides deserts are full of flat-looking minihills, 50% of your charges fail because you didnt pauce, zoom in and check if you're actually charging up a 2* incline each time you give an attack order
4) Bonus: chariots in a game where majority of your battles are sieges? Lmao

>>529542104
Yes otherwise its not fair therefore its cheating

>>529541172
Its a dwarf. He's not fast enough to keep himself embedded in an unit if you just try to disengage. Just have the unit he is attacking flee while the rest shoot him. He'll get a hit in every now and then (killing goblin archers who cares) but will be open season for majority of time. This isnt rocket surgery.

>>529541521

>>529542104
People buy DLC to press the epic "I win" button

>>529541559
nta but that sounds awesome

>>529543253
But why not make that I win button be elite infantry or something?

day 936 of fucking my ass with a bone-shaped dildo on chaturbate until CA releases Nagash

imagine researching the whole first part of the cathay tech tree for like 50 turns and wondering why there are so few and shitty techs. couldnt be me

>>529543560
Centerpiece models sell better.

>>529542287
Extra bonus: If chariots worked like they should they'd still be bad, because they're meant for dealing with low armor, low morale, poorly trained levies
In a game where you're going to fight against fully armored antilarge, charge defense against all, 99 leadership spearmanii in a dozen turns, they quickly lose their value when most factions have better methods of dealing with weak infantry that aren't a complete liability the moment they have nothing to hard counter

>>529543798
Chaturbate still exists?

>>529540925
it is fun, I do it every week, olympic recurve though but planning on getting a longbow at some point. It's a lot hard than it looks I have to say.

>>529543958
yes but it's mostly an onlfans platform now

Yesterday I saw a dead cat. It was small, about 6 to 8 months old, with grayish-brown fur. The cat was lying on the side of the road, dead.
A moment later, I saw a huge, round butt on a balcony. It was so big that I thought, "It can't be, it must be a balloon or a beach ball!" But no, it was a butt.

They dont work against unarmored untrained-in-melee underequipped-for-melee archer killing either because of the aforementioned issues. They should be a backline menace IF they get past the cavalry which decimates them. Currently its high risk no reward.

>this starving orphan hunting rats and fishing just to eek out a living turns things around and takes over half of Eurasia because... he just does, ok!!!

it's trash writing, whoever wrote it should be fired

>>529539619
This is like every historical game ever.

>>529541449
Nah, they won't pass on selling people's favorite colored marine. If 40k comes it'll be a full on fan service game. I mean they already deal with autism in fantasy, they know what to expect.

>>529544902
why do you think they dont make them anymore?

>>529544803
>Eurasia because... he just does, ok!!!
helps when half of the places were smooth plains and people built houses and "castles" out of straw and wood it was just a high mmr player in a low mmr lobby type situation

>>529545694
Because they tried to sell shit no one ever asked for and that shit was also released broken or they had no idea what to do with it.
Also they found out that Warhammer sells. Nevertheless, Med3 or Emp2 would sell well if they just make a normal fucking game fully featured and almost no bugs.

>>529541449
>The worst ones, by far, will be Imp Guard wanting all 700 patterns of tanks and their specific regiments
CA will just pull a Relic and maker regiments into individual units. You won't get
>Faction: Cadia
>Faction: Catachan
>Faction: Krieg
>Faction: Elysium
>Faction: Tallarn
>Faction: Vostroya
Where every single faction has the exact same roster but with different skins.
Instead you'll get
>Faction: Imperial Guard
>Unit: Cadian Shock Troops (standard guardsmen) and Kasrkin (elite but smaller squads)
>Unit: Catachan Jungle Fighters (short range shotguns like in DoW2)
>Unit: Krieg Assault Squad (unbreakable)
>Unit: Elysian Drop Troopers (flying units)
>Unit: Tallarn Desert Raiders (long range stalk infantry)
>Unit: Vostroyan Firstborn (heavily armored and with more accuracy but less RoF)

>>529545186
Like now where we have even a paid army painter DLC?

>>529545984
They would just literally follow the units released in the editions, anything else would be just bonus at the very tail end of the games life in game 3.
Your best hope os for 11th edition and beyond to be supported by these games.

>>529546191
What does that have anything to do with selling specific chapters as DLC?
Hell it would invalidate those DLCs, they want money and they know what will bring it.

>>529545984
that's too sovlfvl for video games, you'll get generic cadians and you will be happy

This is just the average Dawi holiday, I think.

>steal technology
Is this actually worth investing heroes into?

>>529557123
Only if you're a faction with dogshit research speed.

>>529557123
Only for Ikit Claw since it also steals his unique resource to build nukes

>>529557123
>investing
No.
However IIRC success rate is high so it might be worth training a hero off of it.

>>529550726
Some really cool new total war features and mechanics that will never be in another game

>>529558023
>>529550726
The same five ching chongs and bing bongs fighting over whether the ding dong dynasty or king kong dynasty should be in charge.

>>529557123
yes, but only if you're a faction with slow research like anon said, and you also have to kind of commit to it and keep doing it to get the most out of it
now that research bonus remains untill it gets to 100% it's a lot more useful than it used to be

>>529557123
Some races have bad tech rates, like non-Vilitch WoC, and you can just have a Sorcerer get it for you so you unlock Gift techs faster. You also get XP and you can then turn the Sorcerer into a Nurgle/Tzeentch (and soon Slaanesh) one for less Souls because they'll be higher level, but in general most heroes that do this are wizards that have enough potential skill points to be able to get the 6 skills there, all the spells and everything relevant for combat, so it's never really a bad choice if the hero isn't needed in an army.

>>529547697

Holy Roman Empire shields come with a map to remind the soldier of where their home is
Russian shields come with vodka so they can recuperate on the battlefield
Eastern Roman shields come with napalm so they can obliterate nearby enemy boats
English shields come with a longbow to shoot their enemies from afar
French shields come with a mirror so they can see the enemy as they run away

40k, yeah, they'll probably try for 10 years with it. Definitely doable, though sadly most of it will be nu40k slop
Thank god for mods

>Total War SAGA: The Old World
Would it sell?

>>529568938
>Fantasyfags are mad because they might be replaced
Ironic.

Empire Campaign with the Marienburg mod and the Elector Count mod feels so fucking good. Feels like an actual loreful Empire. Marienburg keeps their trade route mechanic from the mod even when confederated so you get to actually do the trade with other powers that the Empire does in lore, each Elector has a unique playstyle he best works with and some of them even have attached heroes and champions from the lore, bringing together the Empire feels like an actual worthwhile undertaking, its great. The only issue is being surrounded by so many concurrent allies 'helping' you with your wars is a problem.
I was able to take the Black Pit for the Bretonnians and trade it to them for the parts of Middenland they'd taken (though they later lost it to Skattach and I took it lol) and Karak Ziflin actually moved to help me and took some of Middenland as well but I was able to trade them the Brass Keep which was great to have them there helping me, but then they took Wolfenburg and there was no settlement under my control I could trade to get it back, so I ended up having to go to war with them, which sucks. I'm hoping they stay alive in the Brass Keep long enough to peace out with me and we can be friends again, but Louen already took their homeland in the Grey Mountains on my behalf which kinda sucks.
I really wish there was a way for Order factions to "request" land from their allies that is legitimately theirs without having to either happen to have a good trade lined up or just killing them. The Wood Elves have this same problem with Bretonnia always having to fight them in order to take Parravron and sometimes Carcassone back when they (always) steal it. Its a pain in the ass. I wanna fight Chaos and Greenskins, not my Short King bros.
(unrelated pic of me taking Lyonnesse from Mallobaude and his diseased peasants and undead knights so I can sell it to Louen)

I mean, at some point they'll start adding very old and obscure shit like they did with fantasy, also 40k is kinda... Infinite? By the time they reach 10 years the tabletop would have launched at least 3 editions with various new units each. Unless they say from the very beginning that they'll update untill the 11th or 12th edition.

Yes because it will have new factions, new units and new races .
But not at least 10 years before TWW3 end of service.

>>529569749
Different time period, but honestly the differences are minor. Empire is openly divided between several pretenders, Bretonnia is hyped up on more errantry fervor than usual, so much that they're crusading actively outside the kingdom.
Kislev is in a relative golden age, and holds a fair amount of territory to the northeast into what is firm chaos territory by the time Franz takes over.

It doesnt change anything major tho desu. All the units look pretty much the same, nothing massive in terms of difference. Orcs are still orcs, elves are still elves, chaos is still chaos, and so on.
Then there's a bunch of subtle but noticeable retcons. Women being much more prominent, and actively taking part in war to a greater extent.
6dchan has very cringe humor, and the articel reeks of some ledditor trying to soften the blows, but you can read about the sexism retcons here if you want.

SLANN CUM

I had forgotten how good basic bitch Skeleton Chariots are. A good charge deals ~50% hp of most early infantry units. Having another Chariot to follow up breaks even Saurus Warriors, so they dont get bogged up either. As a cherry on top Desert maps dont have trees or that small hilly terrain that fucks up charges and exists everywhere else. Peak fun.

>>529557123
I’ve been using it a lot in my last few games, it’s great. Full upgrades and trait gets +35% and the duration stacks so it’s possible to have full uptime while moving around and doing other things.
Avoid super early until you get your economy up or if your armies can’t handle the chance your mage goes on holiday for 5 turns

>>529575950
>losing to Dwarfs

>>529593389
It makes sense to replenish ammo instantly, as a bunch of lead pellets or arrows are far, far easier to produce than getting men in fighting order, getting them trained, equipped, and prepared for war. The cost of putting a man in uniform is considerable, molding one of the softest metals ever into a ball or crafting a little stick with feathers on one end and a pointy bit on the other is not considerable.

>>529593389
Ammo should be proportional to the army's supply level
