Coming from WH2 and I’m getting filtered by Imrik in my first chaos dwarf campaign. It’s only turn 12 so my army is literally over half orc/goblin laborers and I only have the 2 free starter missile units with everything else regular chaos dwarf infantry. Meanwhile he has an entire 20 stack of spears/rangers/archers with dragon princes, a fire wizard bitch, and a fucking sun dragon.
I can auto resolve wipe them out and only lose 1 unit of hobgoblins but I really wanted to outdo the AI with no luck after 2 whole hours. I’m usually better than auto resolve so idk if the auto resolve is just OP in WH3 or what. Manually fighting him always leads to half my army vanishing before I win but desu that sounds more realistic than the shit the auto resolve puts out.

>>529620902Labourers aren't worth it outside of emergencies, anon. If you can't recruit Hobgoblin stuff, recruit another lord. Chorfs have no supply line penalty, so your Drazhoath could be followed by two-three other lords gaining XP in the same battles, and those lords could be more useful than the labourers.

>>529630012>>Neferata>Starts in Ind or KureshFuck no. Silver Pinnacle is one of the best starting positions in the game. You wage war on all 4 directions. Excellent for vampire campaign.
>>529630012>Add male Vampire Heroesgay
>>529625513I like those that add new races, factions led by new legendary mods, and those that add landmarks. Been playing this game like big collect-them-all: getting lords via force or diplomacy, waging wars just to build another landmark that will give +5 MD to some chaff unit or bunch of resources to trade with. Personally, I really recommend:
- races: Araby, Albion, Marienburg, Mousillon, Grudgebringers and Border Princes mods are really great. I also recommend two mods that adds cathayan undeads. Nagash mod also seems cool, but I haven't played with it much - has some weird compatibility issues with my modlist.
- LL: Mixu's Legendary Lords and Legendary Characters are amazing. Might of the Maw adds cools stuff for ogres, and there is a big mod for Norsca which makes every tribe at least a bit more interesting. Dukes of Brettonia adds too many lords, but it is cool. Roar of the Jade Sea adds Yin-Yin.
- landmarks: Immortal Landmarks, Landmarks of Legend and Landmarks of Eternity work together well. Get some mod with more building slots if you run all three.
Other than that VCO is amazing (even if not all LLs have new objectives), IEE is fun, stuff like Seasons and Holidays, BPI, Land Encounters, Fusion Wizard or Simple Dynamic Settlement (tried to use OvN Lost World, but it really fucks with my game) should be in game already.

No cool monsters, no cool heroes, just 2 variation of spearmanii (chink) and crossbowmanii (chink) and you can't even maneuver them too much or else you lose the yin yang bonus
>>529630943Too close to the clusterfuck that is the Empire
>>529637215Well yeah thats the point. Neferata supposed to send agents to both CAthay and Empire. Silver Pinnacle is right in the middle.

If the game would let me save formations and manoeuvres I would not care but having to organise mid battle is fucking stupid. In real life an organised formation would be practised and drilled. You cannot execute anything like that without pausing.

>>529639671In general the game not remembering how you set up formations is infuriating. If you want to use any other type of army than "pile of violence" or "spears front guns back", you´ll spend as much time arranging your troops as you do fighting

IF they were not properly drilled in manoeuvres they were utterly crushed by those that did with he sole exceptions of outnumbering your enemy by a ridiculous amount and washing over them by sheer virtue of numbers.
That I cannot save formations to a commander or army and then as long as I can fulfil the required units and numbers - be able to click and deploy them mid battle without pausing or giving myself arthritis like an autistic korean RTSfag is lazy and inept design.

Never played any total war before, but warhammer looks interesting. Do I pirate the game and then 'try' before I buy?
>>529651286No you buy it so my favorite franchise can thrive.
Hello. I have some experience with Total War, but the last time I really played through a whole campaign was ~7 years ago with the High Elves. I bought War3 and I’m looking to get my nose on the grindstone and get good again. What faction should I go for? I tried a 20-turn tester with Grimgor and the Cathayan Iron Dragon guy, but didn’t really commit to either. Grimgor felt fun, though; very honest and visceral tactics, build a 20-stack of Big ‘Uns, Boyz and Black Orcs and get to krumping. Kholek Suneater fucked me but I wasn’t trying by then.
>>529651286Honestly mate you'll like it, it's pretty hard to dislike unless you're a complete normie and hate any kind of strategy.
>>529651847I've played Civ 5 for a bit but that's it. A couple of hours of Anno 1880 and that's ok. BG3 for a couple of hours. I need to sit down and not have any other games or distractions and then maybe I'll enjoy it after 10 hours or so. It takes me a while to adjust to new things. I am very boring.
>>529652021Nah, that’s normal. I love playing Helldivers 2 but it took a day of grinding to get to the “fun” in the game. Total War is the same way. Don’t trust games that try to give you visceral rewards right away. Total Warhammer 3’s only $20 and the DLC is a Cream Pie away, don’t feel obligated to force yourself to like it.
My advice? Start with whitebread. Karl Franz. The gameplay is easy and intuitive (spear guys against cavalry, swordsmen against spears, cavalry against swordsmen) and will teach you all the basics you need. Some things need to be learned through advice though, like how your biggest source of income should be doing battles, and once you hit 3k per turn it’s time to make a new army.

creamapi will give you access to all races and lords
I don't believe anyone has ever been banned for using ol' creampie anyway
YES! After two ambushes, one of them being against Kostaltyns main stack, we retreat back to Hellpit to replenish our forces. The Tzarina foolishly rushes to besiege the city and is Ambushed by Throt
>>529648757Apologize to the blue line skills

>>529657571Like most anons said, its a good idea to have at least one dedicated hero for wounding otherwise it gets annoying as fuck, on my Boris campaign after getting back to Kislev, had to deal with the ratfags constantly assassinating Gotrek, Felix and Ulrika with Clan Moulders skaven assassins and it got annoying, esp when 1 of them was about to hit immortality at level 18, luckily was able to kill that one and eventually wipe Throt out but it took fucking forever and a nonstop ambush bait session because he had 6 fullstacks somehow inspite of his only settlement being The Hell Pit, wish the cheating wasnt so fucking blatant even though I guess its my own fault for keeping it on.

>>529663262Orkz are literally the only race most akin to their fantasy counterpart here. and they're still pretty different.

TL;DR When we go, the lights, clean water treatment, food and supply as well as all logistics go with us.

I'm gonna let you faggots in on a little secret: the internet is in some ways more real than real life. Looking at what westerners put out there, the collapse is more than justified.
You can cope that its just trolling or boredom, but this is cope. You know damn well large parts of all the cruel, spiteful, selfish shit you see white people put online is 100% real. The number of truly good people in the west are only a few million. The current western generation is a sad mix of whores, simps, mentally ill trannies, retarded boomers and white guilt liberals.

>>529651802Depends on what you enjoy really. Franz is likely the most "cinematic" option as you actually have short and long term goals (uniting the ELECTOR COUNTS who get fucked constantly since they are minor faction punching bags). If you enjoy safe steamrolling, pick Cathay lord with cathay start (good tutorial). If you want medium challenge of overpowered armies but lots to fight against pick Grimgor/Chaos Dwarf/Dwarfs. If you want uphill battle, try Khatep.
Theres tons of more lords fitting each and any niche, but without more info on what kind of game you want and what kind of armies prefer we need more elaboration on what you prefer.

welp,
I got my shit thoroughly pushed in playing as Middenland. I took out the nurgle/beastmeme/greenskins shits and was mass attacking Vlad and securing the centre of the Empire just to have multiple Norscans sail south and start setting everything on fire. Arbaal and Throt stomped Kislev and then beelined for me and I was rolled up like a carpet. I accepted Vlad's truce too late and my armies were all caught out of position.
I lost all of Middenland, Osterland, Hochland, Talabecland, Ostermark before I could move my veterans north to defend and was stuck with underdeveloped Stirland and the Moot. No money, half my forces shredded and no way to recover - when I spotted 3 sets of 4 full stacks of gold chevron maurauder Norscans with mammoths coming at me I threw in the towel...

Fucking dwarves, I love playing them but hate fighting against them.

>>529676046The Aeon Illuminate had an absolutely immaculate vibe and I've never been able to find another RTS faction like them. I actually gave this dwarf minor faction a shot because they have their same green/white metal color scheme but didn't get very far since dwarves are extremely boring.
>>529692450Coast got power crept hard. Being able to raise AP gunpowder units from the dead for cheap was revolutionary but with all the shit we see now it hardly matters. It doesn't help they got hit super hard by the ranged units not firing bug too. Still stronger than Counts though.

>>529718931tau already lost all of their cool shit in the plastic toy game which is what ca would base their tw stats on. their little gundams haven't been able to skirmish move since 7th edition. 10th edition removed their customizable loadouts and got rid of the melee weapon options. the rules writers at gw are hell bent on making tau an infantry based shooting faction even though fans don't care about anything but the robots.
>>529719591It really depends on what edition they'll base the game on, they might even use the 11th, so all bets are off.

I dont know why people suggest space marines as a sole faction, they have no visual/power progression. If we get tw40k we'll see the whole imperium starting from guardsmen and up.
This better be fucking worth it
>>529718131You know, Legend predicted all this.
>>529720482Corn cultists write books now?
>>529703596I really love chink aesthetics, but playing chingchongs is so boring. It's like a bad mixture of defensive but with the most underwhelming mobility offensive options. It's a weird mix that doesn't work, unlike super defensive dawi that are fun on virtue of minmaxing that, or skaven that are more scrappy and glass cannony than dawi but still plenty fun.
My other two votes where daniel because he's a snorefest, and bretonnia because it's very one note in a bad sense. Truth be told aside from daniel and chingchongs, no other armies are boring. Norsca isn't boring, but rather has underwhelming and outdated mechanics, but the army is fun with the little rape guys and the mammoths.
>>529719357I think they are base army potential with tempestus coming as DLC themed stuff.
There is no 3rd DLC race.
the 3rd race is racist knights for brettonia
>>529720414There is no way there is not a "Astartes" Race with it's own currency and mechanics.
But there is also the possibility that they create a Race (something like "Governor" or "local system") where you have access to a large part of the units of the other Races of the Imperium.

You will have limited access to units from the other subfactions as RoR pool units depending on your relations with them, some are always available like standard IGs

I have played at least 3 cathay campaigns and they might not be boring but they have no faction identity, everything feels the exact same as some other faction but slightly better stat wise. The sky lantern is their only particularly unique thing. Not like it was avoidable, Kislev also feels weak in this regard and they resorted to hybrid unit bullshit to cope about it.
>>529726286Yeah, both are pretty one note. Not bad necessarily, but they definitely feel like npc factions, cathay especially.

>>529746046Not history games, where the fantasy game just gets 4 variants of a melee infantry, history gets swordbands, elite guard, levy spears, pikemen, axemen, berserkers, javelinmen, all of which fulfill different roles
>>529746223I'd say Fates Divided and Furious Wild are the two best. I especially liked Furious Wild, felt very different and polished, tho this being CA bugs are very much present
If I were to give a rough tier list
>Great>Fates Divided, Furious Wild>Good>A World Betrayed, Mandate of Heaven>Meh>Yellow Turbans>Shit>Eight Princes
>>529746728Which ones add to the "main" campaign?
>>529745921The Chorfs are the best showcase of the unit variety that can be contained in a fantasy army.
>>529747556If the main campaign is what you want you can skip Eight Princes and Mandate alltogether. Mandate is good but is way earlier than the main campaign. The others will add units and faction stuff to the 190 start date.
A thing to note tho is that significant portions of content are "locked away" behind the stat dates. For example, Lu Bus faction mechanic can only be used if you play as him in the 194 start date.
There's also a bunch of unique event decisions, like Sun Ce getting a very special choice to go south with his fathers generals, that require the later start date.
This might be way too autistic for you, and I dont necessarily recommend it on your first campaign, but I found it very fun to essentially play along with the different start dates. So I would start a campaign as say Liu Bei in 190, play fairly historically until 194, boot up the relevant DLC, play to 200, boot up the next DLC, and then go nuts.
Again, very time consuming and autistic, but it can be fun. Using the Red Cliffs historical battle as my campaign climax was great
Some of you guys are alright.

>>529619272 (OP)>3K made more money than WH3 despite being shitcanned in less than 2 years>they also didn't have to pay a fee and got full profit for it compared to WHThen again, this is the same company that almost released Hyenas.
>>529747556As
>>529749386 said, one of the reasons for 3K's poor DLC sales amongst other things was no clear "main campaign" because it's all over the place. Mandate adds a cool start where you can play as what's left of the Han, but it doesn't really transition into the main start date because things break, or never show up at all. It's basically a fun mini-campaign. The only DLC(excluding the Yellow Turbans) that added to the main campaign came after they botched everything with 3 different campaign starts that do not really flow into each other. The last 2(Furious Wild and Fates Divided) realized too late that people did not want a zillion different start dates if it meant having to pick and choose mechanics. Sorry, but this shit gets me going anytime I think of it because it's so baffling. TL;DR Furious Wild, Fates Divided, Yellow Turbans
How accurate to lore are the mechanics for the chaos dwarves?
IDK anything about them but they feel like if skaven were dwarves but enslaved other races instead of other rats
>>529753013Honestly, the dick measuring about all that aside, what struck me was the relatively tiny sales of the franchise. Like, even together WH3 and 3K are like 5 million, and I'm assuming these partly copies sold while on sale.
Meanwhile a Sonic spinoff, not even a main entry, mogs both their launches.
A reminder that Total War is a relatively small fish, and makes me wonder if it would be more appropriate to call CA a "AA" rather than AAA studio.
>>529753382all the non-magical Chorfs are also slaves to the sorcerer they're related to, so they are pretty similar to Skaven, only there is no backstabbing within Chorf clans, just among the ruling sorcerer elite but even this is of the non-lethal sort.
>>529753657Are these steam sales only? Because 3K was also sold separately by a chinese publisher for China shortly after release.
>>529753013>>529753657dlc are the real moneymaker thats just basegame sales though
warhammer 100% made way more money than 3k overall even with whatever cut gw takes
>>529753657CA had almost 900-1000 members across studios in 2020-2024. That's more than fucking Rockstar or other big name developers.

>>529753874>dlc are the real moneymaker thats just basegame sales thoughI keep hearing this but I never see a source. What do people base this on?
And clearly whatever profit it does generate, given that the majority have clearly moved on, why are we getting one (1) dlc this year? Dont blame it all on CA being retarded, after Hyenas Sega is clearly calling the shots, what with all the layoffs.
>>529753935>more than fucking Rockstar or other big name developers.kek source?
>>529754375CA also kept gloating about being the biggest UK game dev for the past years.
https://www.pcgamer.com/total-war-sells-over-36m-copies-creative-assembly-now-biggest-uk-developer/
>The developer now has 800 permanent staff and has opened a third studio in West Sussex, which it says makes Creative Assembly "the largest UK games developer". Studio director Gareth Edmondson said, "This is an incredibly exciting time for Creative Assembly with the highly-anticipated Total War: Warhammer III on the horizon and our new sci-fi-shooter IP in development."
>>529746325>no you don't understand the depth of historical games billmanii are totally different from spearmanii

>>529753874>dlc are the real moneymaker thats just basegame sales though3K had AWFUL DLC due to retarded decisions by CA like start dates and not unifying the campaign in 1 continuous narrative. Read what this guy said
>>529753296.
WH3 still hasn't caught up to 3K release sales after all DLC releases.
Speaking of DLC, I wonder how much influence, if any, fan requests have on their content. Like all the requests for Dogs of War for example, is it even in CAs power to go to their publishers and say "can we do this" or is everything more or less set planning ends?
if dlc is how they make money from tw how come the base game that's like $20 on sale has denuvo so you can't pirate it, but you can pirate like $300 worth of dlc no problem?
>>529739687>Describes the average Slaanesh follower perfectly>Accuses them of being an Empire player for some reason?Tzeentch you sly dog
>>529753739What makes them slaves? Just by birth or a societal structure or power?
Speaking of DLC, where is it?
The ai unironically tried to corner camp me, I kinda liked the approach of rushing them down first before they could settle comfortably. Also, the longrifle spam is actually cancer.
>>529759593Are you playing on a potato?
>>529759593>2 melee infantry units in as many stacksdid someone train the ai on legend videos?
also wtf are those cheat units?
>>529759658C´mon man, no need to hit where it hurts... Wish I could get a gpu here in my country, but I just feel so scammed paying close to 540 usd for a 9060xt 16gb. So I'm stuck on my soulful 1660 super until I save more money.
>>529759831The guys with the hood and the chaos dragon are from the mixu's legendary lords mod. Specifically from the cabal faction, the chaos dragons are chaos flavored two headed dragons and the acolytes(hood guys) are like horrors of tzeentch, but human. I heavily recommend the faction, you only can only recruit mortal tzeentch units and everything else needs to be summoned using the grimoires..

Man, this everyone in this general went full schizo. It's a mad house
>>529720414>they have no visual/power progression.Yes they do, very obviously.
Scouts > Tactical Marines > Terminators.
Don't know if Primaris can be a step in between Tacticals and Terminators or if they'll just take the place of Tacticals in general.
Making the whole Imperium one single faction makes no sense either, all the smaller subfactions operate independently from one another. Space Marines, Mechanicus, Sororitas, etc. don't respond to the Administratum or to military command and the only thing they administrate is their own separate holdings, which are also not under the control of any imperial governors, and sometimes they even got to war between them over some local issue.

Could the game be modded so that AI factions get an insurmountable autoresolve bonus when defending their starting settlement, effectively meaning no one could be wiped out unless its the player finishing them off

>>529783481Total War drought is so massive that everyone goes mad and TW sloptubers have to resort to making up bullshit to stay afloat
>>529783481sloptubers already disgust me, what is even more aggravating is the entire concept of thinking characters in a 40k game will be or should be just adapted tableslop characters
imagine how dogshit 40k games would if they did what that drooling retard is asking for and didn't allow for video game OC: no Blood Ravens, no Eliphas, no Titus, no Abelard, etc...
but I'm pretty sure that's the same guy who lost to normal AI Grom as Eltharion despite having a balance bar in his favour, if so him having 70IQ is to be expected
>>529784090I hope that he invests a bit more into the yellow line.

>>529787284any developer can use the Blood Ravens if GW allows, they're not owned by Sega or Relic, but by GW
but that's not the point, Blood Ravens were created specifically for DoW, the Retributors were created specifically for the Astartes show and most book series just creates their own sub-factions and character
if CA does make their own 40k game they should create their own chapter and characters instead of making a shitty adaptation of someone else's work
I bet that some of the content creators already possess the profoundly forbidden and deeply coveted knowledge.

If 40k does release I hope it has a cool trailer like the intro to DoW
>they're taking this long to reveal the third race
the only way the wait could've been worth it is if the third race is a surprise whole new faction or some shit not even Nagash would be ok
I hope that CA reveals the next Total War game by showing gameplay of all of their previous Total War games and then showing the new one at the very end.

>>529788665understandable, but I don't think the style is ever coming back into fashion
>>529788060>Blood Ravens were created specifically for DoWWhile this is correct they were not a canon chapter nor was the events of Dawn of War canon until years later. CA could literally copy relic and just make an OC first but they would have to actually have some kind of in house passion for the setting to do it well enough.
I sincerely doubt they do so the most likely we will get is one of whatever line GW is pushing for that year in Astartes.
CA's options are;
>Black TemplarsJust like other tourists they likely see them as the 'racist' chapter. Extremely unlikely outside DLC
>Blood AngelsBlonde blue eyed vampires are ripe for DLC. Unlikely
>UltramarinesGW's choice and the easiest one to do, due to blandness as well as zeitgeist appeal. Most likely choice.
>SalamandersThe in house favourite for being 'black' and 'wholesome' I guaranfuckingtee, but they are literally a pre packaged 'fire' themed DLC.
>Space WolvesSame as salamanders - preformed DLC sub faction.
>Dark AngelsAgain, DLC bait especially with the Lion.
>All other first foundingIf they do not have a real model line and need conversion pieces like Iron Hands then there is no chance. Vanilla chapters like Imperial Fists are never going to be used over UM regardless.
>Blood RavensNo chance. Maybe as some kind of RoR or agent at best.
