>>529954670is sheep pussy tight?

>>529954419Depends on use
>>529955218In a 1v1, Yari Ashigaru lose even with Spear Wall up, also the Loan Sword Ashigaru cost less to recruit and upkeep and because of the Ikko Ikki, they have extra units in their formations. https://youtu.be/rlAbc0bKXXU
As for if theyre better for their job against cavalry, found some jeet who made a Yari Cavalry vs Loan Sword Ashigaru vid because im too lazy to reinstall the game and do a demonstration, the Loan Swords win as well. https://youtu.be/vmtB_RQ0xhA

>>529955753Imagine if Yin-Yin got caught by a pent up Dreadfu...
that dragon would get double fisted.
Yin-Yins gonna start off the coast of Marinberg having gotten completely lost trying to get to Lustria again
Yin-Yins gonna start inside my ass
>>529957024She's gonna start in the rape dungeon at the Fortress of Vorag.
Yin-Yin has a Reiklander boyfriend
>>529957427I'd be that boyfriend.
I've seen Fu-Chow with OvN, that city looks fucking amazing and I want a house in it.
>>529957427Hopefully its not Franz otherwise Miao will get jealous
Zhao Ming has an ogre harem.

>trading one shite settlement is enough to prevent being btfo by a faction

>>529957921Those poor Alchemist girls are left pining.
>>529958575lazy fuck do it yourself
>>529958171If AI already owns towns in a province, trading one settlement is enough to end a war, break all his treaties with his allies, have him become vassal and pay ~80k if he has the money. Trading settlements is absurdly powerful.
But at least its not cheating :^)
I sent too much money to my findomme
LLs for this feel?
>>529958347That's cheating
Ugh, Tomb Kings really need a glow up badly.
>>529958778There's no "too much" in that situation, if anyrhing the only thing that has too much is your current bank account, you can probably spare her a little more

>>529958171>Movement bug>Selling settlements to vassalize/scam the AI>Joining war to bybass defensive agreementsThese are the 3 unforgiveable exploits that any self respecting player shall never use.
>>529958171It's a rational decision as a nation state but in this game it's a stupid decision.

Legend of Total War hete, and today we've got a disaster general, and its a doozy!
So they've got their general here, Total War General, and its just an absolute shitshow, absolute shitshow. Furries, scalies, no funny memes... The email said many of them don't even play Total War.
>you can get a LL's defeat trait for killing an army he's reinforcing before he hits the battlefieldAyo what the fuck?
>>529959787Auto resolve says decisive defeat, too.
>>529959787Why is he still using that profile image? Half his hair is missing now

>>529960527artist said not to
that's basically repost rape.
Paris of Troy broke up with Helen of Sparta.
I hope that Menelaus will forgive both parties.
>>529958940I enjoy TK until the endgame which feels like the exact opposite of how theyre supposed to feel. Theyre a slowburn campaign where the game kind of expects you to slowly raise your settlements because of their abyssmal growth and all their buildings costing a lot as a tradeoff for no upkeep. By the time they can field 1 endgame/T5 unit, the AI has been fielding countless of them and instead of it feeling like you finally have momentum with their endgame units like necrosphinxes and khemrian warsphinxes it feels like the bare minimum needed to even stand a chance. Because most other enemy factions will have countless endgame unit stacks while you might have 3-4 of your best units per army.
>>529961221Find me where they said not to
>>529959372I'm sure it's pronounced "ostan-kya" but I always read it as "o-stank-ya"
>>529962251I unironically like their early game. They are the only faction who prioritizes cavalry to do the heavy lifting and their maps (deserts) support that very well. Throwing tons of bones at problems and midgame with couple power bump units (Ushabti and Scorpions) feel really good. Like you, I dislike endgame the most. By then I have multiple provinces from early game hitting t5 one right after another (especially since Khemri and Numas are 2 settlements only so others catch up) and with Necrotect cap buffs suddenly you're fielding 8 Hierotitans, Warsphinxes and Necrosfinxes and you start steamrolling hard. Imo at least one of those should be dropped to t4 to spread the power balance a bit.
>>529962987The kind that wears heavy protection.
>>529963183dead as in gore/necro, or undead like a hot vampire seductress?
>>529962280you're right but you know what people always get wrong in this game? They pronounce it cathy when it's really cuh-thay

>Naieth in particular is heavily interested and supportive of him
>the Wood Elves gifted him with the strongest griffon to ever exist
>>529963490Is that from Pillars of Eternity?
>>529963842Yeah no, Naieth is behind 99% of it and it's actually kind of funny how invested she is.

So how much advantage does having one more melee attack than your enemy has melee defense (assuming no debuffs) give you?
I started an Epidemius campaign yesterday and now I feel a little bit sick.
Just finished Tretch for my IE project (campaign #13 ofc).
I actually had quite a good time with him.
It's good coming back to skaven. Been chaosfagging hard in wh3, but rats are what got me 1000 hours in WH2 when WH1 was sorta whatever to me.
>>529962987>Race: Elf>Gender : Elf>Personality : Elf
>>529964880 More sexy skaven women fanart ( that I do know yes is totally not canon to what happens to skaven females in the setting but sexy fan art is fan.)
>>529962987the Scythian nomadic type
>>529970659Chance to hit goes from 35% to 36%
>>529970659Base hit chance is 35%. Every MA over enemyยดs MD increases hit chance by 1%. 3,5 ma is roughly equal to 10% more damage.
>>529971297Does having one more MD than the enemy have MA have the same effect, or does MD have a smaller reducing effect than MA has increasing?
>>529971232Give me more savage Wood Elves, please.
Goddamn those rat mutants things absolutely murder artillery crews
I just won a decisive victory but those fuckers managed to entirely annihilate my cannon crew and now I need to replay it
>>529971773Its always 1 percentage point. But then again, that means MD is "more powerful". Having 10 more MA means you have 45% chance to hit, or 28,5% damage increase. Having 10 more MD means 25% chance to hit, meaning your unit lasts 40% longer.
>>529972165So investing in both (at least for a unit that you plan to put into melee) is a good idea.
>>529972424Yeah. The +8 MA/MD redline is rather powerful. Pitting two identical units against each other, where one has +8MA/MD means it comes out with almost a third of its health remaining. Redline MA/MD buff is often one of the best of the generic army buffs.
>>529972938Thanks for telling me about that. I always was like, "okay it can't be worthless or it'd be patched out by now" but on the other hand, numbers are meaningless if you don't see the rolls behind the numbers.

guys im new what are the tactics supposed for nurgle factions? because im just blobbing up and healing and it seems to be working. is this intended
>>529980067yes. blob debuff the enemy while buffing yourself and you can't really go wrong. use big damage spells on the enemy blobs too
>>529979038Bro, CA moved Wurrzag to southlands jungles with OoD dlc. You can see his army about to attack my settlement if had said no.
Who is the absolute tankiest lord in Total War: Warhammer?
I'm having fun with Malakai
I've got hellpit now and not sure what to do next
Should I just activate the adventures now even though idk where to find the right enemies?
So if i want to play chaos warriors I need CoC and WoC?
CA. I've never requested from you before. Well that's a lie I keep asking for Bugman and Neferata but you just namedrop them in cutscenes, landmarks and item descriptions and keep blue balling me you damn cockteases. But I am making an even more serious request now.
No one, possibly not even you, knows if you're actually planning to do 40K Total War, if it's just fandom headcanon or reality. No, all that matters is that I am asking just in case and promise I'll buy them. Money pleases you CA, so grant me one request... grant me the Harlequins, as a fully realized faction of their own.
And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!
>>529981175the adventures mostly spawn the enemies you are supposed to fight
>>529981668Is that Arnold Strong?
>>529981175You should have activated the quests as soon as you unlocked them. For starters you get free units of the adventure target type you picked, but also the mechanic already drops unique events near Kraka Drak so you can fight their target enemies for the most far away ones like Helves.
>>529981668Total War Conan when
>>529981905That's also a pretty good request if daddy GW doesn't let you do 40K or Harlequins, CA.
>>529980067That was the only way, but now with rot knights you get more mobility than before. But in general you're supposed to make a blob of mortis death.
>>529981668That'd be awesome
They'd need to have the funnest campaign mechanics
I wonder if you could have a system where you get randomly assigned to do certain things to certain factions, even those allied to you, to simulate Cegorach, and fulfilling them gets you bonuses
If you perform well enough it goes unnoticed by the AI but if you fuck it up suddenly you're at war with them
Also you could probably try to collect some items to do something
It'd need to be hero/lord focused
Maybe you could do the aspect thing where each of the base units can be customised a lot
Anyway Harlequins will just be units in the Eldar roster
>>529981668Can Harlequins be a full faction? Honestly I only know them as a funny clown units from DoW but I saw some fanart of very cool clowns with devil masks.
>>529981905for me it's the BLACK KINGDOMS
>>529983025>Isle of the Black Ones
>>529982947GW released IIRC two codexes for them as a full faction but then they got rid of them because the roster is tiny
>>529982846Harlequin campaign should be about working to set up the Rhana Dandra. Do a series of tasks across the galaxy that seem random and inexplicable but that all lead towards acquiring bonuses, mcguffins, etc. so that when the day comes Cegorach just fucking btfos Chaos and Slaanesh in particular so hard that every soul taken by Chaos gets freed in one final galaxy-wide act. A bit like a mix of Changeling and Welves, but better realized.
Also they should have neutral relationships with Imperium, Orks, T'au, etc. since in it's canon they're basically the one group of xenos that gets to go all over the place more or less unimpeded.
>Anyway Harlequins will just be units in the Eldar rosterFUCK.
>>529982947>Can Harlequins be a full faction?They were a full faction in 8th edition. Then in 9th edition GW decided there was enougha that and rolled back into the main eldar factions to make space for the Ynnari... who then got rolled back into the main eldar factions by 10th.
>>529983025>AfghulistanRobert Ervin Howard, you literary genius!

Do you prefer to play a top of the food chain faction or a bottom of the food chain faction?
>>529954295 (OP)Just reinstalled Shogun 2 after seeing this. Remembered that just having actually playable and fun sieges completely mogs Warhammer. Why is this lost technology
>>529983025why is the great wall protecting nothing in a random mountain range
>>529980067>blobbing upIf you're Kugath with Nurglings, yes.
If you're anyone else, you most likely want to spam spells to provoke your enemy to abandon the high ground (either lore of death to target lords or Lord of Nurgle to target infantry), and then use your (most likely) 18 units of melee infantry/cav to wrap around the enemy.
>>529981668yeah good luck with that pal
GW doesn't know what the fuck they're doing with eldar, first it was making the harley quinns a faction then they weren't then it was the ynnari's turn to be a faction but I'm pretty sure that was aborted too
I honestly applaud eldarfags for their perseverance, some of them even think there is a chance exodites and corsairs will become real factions, this despite the fact everyone knows we'll get 20 space marine factions before anyone even remembers eldar exist outside craftworlds and cummorragh

>>529993431wh3?
I recommend playing someone with an item crafting mechanic, like dwarfs or tomb kings, or zhao ming to try out the new items
dwarfs in particular are very strong if you haven't played them since thrones of decay
>>5299948093k and pharaoh are insanely funner than TWW, but suffer from lack of diversity (3k) or lame ass setting (pharaoh)
>>529994809Pharaoh is fun after the Dynasties update.
>>529995375pharoah is fun but the campain map scares me it's too complicated
>>529994809It's fun for a few hours (or however long your first playthrough takes) until you realise all those little details people begged CA to add, like resources? Worthless, and poorly balanced to begin with. All factions play the same and the AI is braindead as always.

Here they just say "we keep it on life support even though it saved us from the hyenah"
>>530019371>>530019297Considering that CA hates working on Total War, I bet they managed to convince SEGA to fund another SUPERGAME

>>530019571There are some oldguard still dedicated to the franchise, and Sofia is likes working on it, but the majority of new hires absolutely detest Total War because they see is as outdated and way too white and male.

>>530020270while I can understand working on an old engine like warscape can be annoying for new hires, why the fuck the "too white" thing comes from besides your /pol/ brain

Bretonnia, blessed by the Lady, stands peerless amongst factions, its chivalrous knights unmatched in glory and might.
Any cur who dares proclaim otherwise is naught but a cuckolded wretch, unworthy of the grailโs grace.

Alright (you), post which campaign you are playing right now and how it is going, or else it'll be a paddlin'.
I'm playing Cathay all peasants and its going surprisingly even better than normal. Peasantmanii are so dirt cheap you can run 3 armies for price of one normal army. I am steamrolling three different fronts with multiple armies each and still have money to field 2 defensive armies in vulnerable chokepoints. All by turn 26. Peasants having Charge Defense against all means they take ages to fold to infantry, allowing Wall of Wind & Fire wipe out whatever they cant kill. Archers are meh but there's thousands of them so they work quite well too.
>>530026784im playing cao cao and making everyone backstab eachother
shoemaker unfortunately refuses to have a civil war because i could not get his heir down to 0 satisfaction only 3
>>530026784I started Eshin run yesterday, but then I remembered that sneaky shit isn't all that entertaining in this game and dropped it after killing starter greenskins.
>>530026784Just started Astragoth for the third time, since my previous two attempts both failed. I know you're supposed to rush Grimgoy, but after finishing him Ungrim jumps me with three slayer stacks, while I have only hobgobbla.
>>529994773The Land Ships are the worst case of Reddit in this game.
>>530026784None, I'm playan my Rogue Trader Heretic run since DLC released recently
>>530026784Just started a Kostaltyn campaign but the one I previously played I saved the Helves from 3 Vampire Coast LLs, Nkari, Norscans, Morathi and Belakor it was quite fun desu slowly retaking the donut as the high elves give me defense and military alliances seeing me as their hero
>>530027194Extremely based. Best of luck anon!
>>530027414Agree. I find "Run away and abuse AI being absolutely unable to deal with stalking units" is rather boring. They also botched campaign mechanics for Eshin, as they are extremely boring. Oxyotl is much more fun though.
>>530027491If you're struggling, the south-easternmost Chorf is easiest in my opinion. He has least hyperaggressive and dangerous foes coming at him one after another, and most dangerous nearby enemies fold to couple blunderbusses easily. Once your basic infrastructure is set up, Grimgor becomes much easier to take down. You could always go for ambush cheese too, since that way you prevent Waagh armies from joining.
>>530027717Get out. Just horsing around, I hope you're having fun anon!
>>530029046forgot to mention I was bretonnia
>>530026784I'm playing Seleucids currently attack Egypt.
I have do idea what I'm doing
>>530026784VC, I'm at war with everyone, going alright
>>530029046Bsst of luck, at worst everyone dogpiles on you from north, east, south and west. Kostaltyn campaigns can get extremely difficult if you get unlucky and your neighbors fold too quickly.
>>530029271Nice, historimanii player! Watch out for overextending. Pharaoh punishes it a lot more than Warhammer. And dont forget to build and use outposts, they give good buffs and prevent AI from playing the retarded "rampages through your empire staying 0,1cm outside your attack range every time" bullshit with you
>>530026784almost finished my invasion of Ulthuan as Settra with TKE, and I might try Lokhir later for a migration campaign.
>>530029418Good! That just means bigger and better corpse piles to raise units from!
>>530029983I don't really understand what determines which units you can get from raise dead, is it just how many units died at the battle there, more units == higher tier units you can raise?
>>530030819yep. autoresolving a twenty stack of zombies into a twenty stack of skavenslaves is a good early game goal.
>>530031757no where, because orcs dont like weirdos, like azhag, who use tactics
>>530031812I just got completely raped by 1000 doomseekers, I was kitted up to fight armoured dwarves, nothing I had could kill them and I didn't have enough cavalry, RIP.
Tip for Karl Franz players:
Build an outpost in Kislev and recruit Armoured Kossars
>>530033323Or just use Greatswords
Why if Slaanesh is lust, pleasure and hedonism did he make Dechala who was probably a beautiful lady as a High elf into an ugly ass flat snake thing?
>>530033323Dorfs are good too. They are so short that even Handgunners can fire over them.
Three-tiered line of Thunderers, Handgunners and Outriders is extremely kino, they can all fire over eachother
>>530018883My exact same opinion. You're selling me a product, shut the fuck up about how much you 'suffered' making it.
>>530033839Greatswords dont have shields and their MD is considerably worse.
>>530034092shields are cheating
So guys. I'm gonna start a new Gelt campaign and once I've done all the stuff in Cathay, I'll head back into the Old World and I intend to set up shop.....in Ulthuan. An Emperor's Wrath steam tank should really be able to convince Eltharion to cede Tor Yvrese....
>>530034092And yet they beat Armored Kossars
>>530033323Empires tech buffs allied recruitment units too unlike a lot of other factions.
Fucking subhuman Bulgarian gypsy trash
Hurry UP with the DLC
>>530034563I doubt that they have more than 1% gypsies in their Bulgarian office.
They may or may not incompetent management, though.
Bulgarians shake their head to say yes and nod their head to say no.

>>530034421Doesnt mean Greatswords are better in lineholder role silly
>>530036035>Pharaoh>dogshitwrong
>>530036035Call me when Warhammer isnt dogshit (to start with: actual diplomacy, bannermen, terrain that matters, sieges not always same 4 maps reskinned, forests that can be set on fire, weather effects that affect battle, resource system that is more complex than "money lmao", building management that is more than "growth money walls", actual population mechanics, siege engines on walls, army supplies that can run out, actual trade mechanics instead of "money lmao" and resources that matter instead of being, again, "money lmao")
I know you merely pretend to be retarded for attention
YO I just finished by golgTWINK campaign as a full on mercenary (kino btw).
I'm trying to pick my next run now and ended up finally approaching the ratfags. I'm not a fan of the race but I still don't have the two achievements for them yet so it could be a decent motivation to finish a campaign at least once with them. I had grabbed few mods related to them, and now I'm stuck on selecting a LL. Any recommendations?

>histoids pretending Troy and Pharaoh were good now
This is even sadder than people pretending that Attila was good. I still remember when all three games were relentlessly shat on on release. Just because things are worse now doesn't make bad things from the past any better. Now go play your Medieval 2 Poland campaign for the 20th time.
>>530036783just get mods sissy, and everything will be fixed.

I like Total War(rior) music.
>>530036887What are the effects on the other cheat factions? Are the base factions changed?
Age of Sigmar waiting room
>>530037034If the game needs fixing it isnt good anon. Same argument could be used for Pharaoh: just get mods to not make it dogshit.
Reminder that 3k is the best modern TW game by far and CA decided to abandon it and ditch many of the great features it almost perfected for absolutely no reason even though it's still by far the most played and most supported by modders....
>>530037723How is Chinkmanii Total War?
Any faction that specializes in bows and infantry
>>530026784turn 165 of a dynamic disasters + PHB run as Tetto'eko with delf and all chaos faction crises
it's going surprisingly well, Malekith took the donut early but he was my first target and he's all but broken now. currently exterminating Tzeentch but he's being a bitch with 9 armies stacked in his capitol
I'm getting a bit bored of this run, it would be hard to lose momentum now. once I wrap up with Tzeentch I can consolidate my fronts and steamroll Khorne so I don't really care about playing that out, but I want to at least see why Archaon is at #1. he's just been sitting in the wastes for the entire game despite the crisis
>>530037818Sort of. Specialization in (vanilla) 3K is mostly in the form of faction unique units. You do have factions who have pretty great infantry units (Lu Zhi, Liu Biao for defensive shield and spear frontline units; Yuan Shu, Zheng Ziang for charging/flanking infantry units) and faction who have pretty great bow/ranged units (Kong Rong, Liu Chong even Liu Yan and I guess even Liu Bei kinda).
>>530038138playing gor-rok with dynamic disasters, same thing with archaon, the way his turn slows down my computer every time is concerning but so far he hasn't come down south yet
>>530037723Campaign mechanics are good but it has some of the most boring battles in the series, chinkmanii vs chinkmanii is even worse than Shogun 2's samuraimanii vs samuraimanii. By far the most played is also an exaggeration, it's currently barely beating Rome 2 and often loses second most played to it depending on the month.
>>530037723>Three Kingdoms>most playedKEK!
>>530037723>most playedThat's Warhammer. It's the second most played though.
>>5300396583K has sengle entity generals that can shoot fireballs.

>>530042537>slaaneshi skaven
>>530042838Now you know why we consider mods to be cheats around here
>>530040563honestly sometimes I just like to click through the factions on this screen. Categorizations is so satisfying.
>>530042838It's not just modders. The overwhelmingly majority of people are chronically incapable of tracking a balance baseline and will have a natural bias towards optimizing and making whatever they are working on the most efficient thing possible given what they know about the baseline. That's why even in developer released content there's a general trend for content to be more powerful/difficult overtime.
>>530042838lol the devs aren't capable of making non power creep factions and you're seething about modders
I hate fighting in the woods, you can't see anything even when you press space
>>530036334It does against most of the shit Empire faces
I love Shakkara Riel's model. Makes me want to boot up DE again but I had played them to many times already.
>>530045752Stats on pirats?
>>530045456Empire faces Norsca, Greenskins, Vampires and Skaven early on. All field lots of unshielded/bronze shield low-armor low-ld troops troops early on (benefits Kossars who have non-ap guns), and none of them have Shieldbreaker but commonly field ranged troops VC nonwithstanding (benefitting Kossars who have shields), and they field lots of low-armored units (benefitting kossars whose budget isnt wasted on armor-piercing and who have higher md)
Nigga do you even play the game?
>>530046970just play bretonia
How do I get Isabella back after she's recovered from being wounded? You get Vlad as a lord but I see no option under lords nor heroes for Isabella.
>>529956059good to know for avatar conquest. I need to go back and play more of that.
I am excited for Total War Warhammer 40k
>>530047118Start as Vlad -> Isabella is hero
Start as Isabella -> Vlad is hero
You cant have them both as lords.
>>530047482I'm Vlad, I started with Isabella as a hero but now I don't see as her a recruitable hero after she was injured.
>>530047710She should return by herself. Check the lord list under the map.
>>530047876Thanks I found her in a random spot on the map
>>530047710She should come back automatically after 4 turns. Open the army list from topright. She should be there greyed out.
>>530046319You aren't facing wood elves bro just make the fucking greatswords so chaos gets diced by your full AP army
No one complains more than empire players it's bizarre

>>530049110that's the worst feeling, the same thing happened to me the other day
>>530049110time to set up a Replay Buffer in OBS
>>530049371NTA, but it isn't the same because the point of Replay is to zoom in and watch people fight while during the battle you were fogused on stratum
>>530049510I am that anon and this anon is right, I wanted to see it from different perspectives
>>530049510>>530049621fair enough. I have 1k hours /played (I know it is not that much compared to more dedicated players) in the game but still have no saved a single replay, so I'm not that familiar with it.
it was so bad that Rome Remasted opted to not make it possible to save replays of campaign battles btw
>>530049110I think game automatically saves your last battle. Check the replays from main menu.

>>530046903I believe so but haven't done a deep dive, it's probably inconsistent.
Here are some mounted yeoman, seem to get everything from the tech tree including immune to psychology. Same with wildwood rangers.
Stupid question, is the single bar to the right of the unit's health how much health that unit entered the battle with?
>>530050921Wrong pic but you get the idea. Tomb guard halberds don't get expert charge defence though so like is said it's probably a little inconsistent.
>>530045752Link to rat mod? I'm bored and don't give a shit if it's powercrept or not. Some novelty would do me good.
>>530051765It should be the Skaven Clans mod from this list.
>>530051019It's the healing cap, say you heal the fuck out of zombies or a monster all game they will eventually get to the point where further healing stops working wherever that bar is
Also bear in mind not all healing spells resurrect, so a unit with only some soldiers left may seem to stop healing even though there is no healing cap bar, because all the soldiers alive are fully healed already
>>530052256Found it, thanks anon.
>>530052338Thanks, how do you know whether you can heal or if there's a limit because there are fewer soldiers?

>>530054904Don't post this unholy man in this holy thread.
>>530048258Not complaining, just saying they are better for most of the game. Cheaper too.

>>530054573Elves were never a possibility, it's Vampire Counts or Cathay without question.
>>530050095Its neat to have interesting effects. It seems rather powerful too.
Autism math: assume lord deals 400 damage against enemy lord with equal stats. It'll be roughly 35 dps, so 17 DPS Slow Death effect is roughly equal to 50% ws buff. Its less effective for more powerful lords or if your MA is significantly higher than their MD, but still very good. Furthermore lords with AoE attacks inflict it on every target hit.
But really, is
>>530053408 bullshitting, or is there any reason to think CA would release any sort of video tomorrow?
>>530019371>we keep it on life support even though it saved us from the hyenahThis fucking post is old as shit but this needs to adressed every time until you dumbass niggers get it through your thick skulls.
I'll ask again:
Do you fuckers actually think some DLCs, sold for at most 25 bucks (rarely), 3 times a year (at best) could sustain a 500+ staff studio, with multiple buildings, a large portion of which live in an expensive country?
You think SEGA would accept that?
Would YOU accept that if you owned the conpany?
If the sales data leak is true, even 3K and Warhammer combined were only able to break 5 million over several years, and that almost certainly includes sales.
I dont believe rhe game is gonna be killed anytime soon (we have 2 years left minimum, probably more) but you have to a complete retard if you dont get why CA is focusing on big titles right now

I played some 3K and just started WH3, picked Boris cause bears are cool. Turn 2 pyrrhic victory taking the capital of the region and it wants me to take a similar sized outpost south
Should I just spend a few turns getting up to 20/20 units and take it, or create a 2nd army already to deal with it? Also, which kossars are better, the axe and bow kossars or the spear kossars?
How have Vampire Counts and Bretonnians been ignored for this long?
Newbie here confused about percentage modifiers. Some percentage buffs like weapon strength are direct multipliers (10% ws on 100dmg weapon mean 110 damage), but some percentage buffs are additive (if your base replenishment is 5% per turn, +10% replenishment doesnt give you 5,5% total but a massive +15%, tripling your replenishment rate)
How do I know whether a buff is multiplier or additive? I skipped Replenishment skills for the longest time because 6% is fucking nothing, but realizing its actually additive means its really powerful. Now I'm wondering which other buffs are additive.
>>530057006Bretonnia is finished
VC will get Nagash/Neferata
>>530056229Some people have this weird notion that DLCs alone can keep a company afloat
>>530057059Why would anyone ever think it would be multiplicative to the base percentage
stop being stupid
>>530057059How is your first example not additive? If you have a 10% ws modifier and a 15% ws modifier you end up with 25% more ws. Every percentage increase in the game works like this.
Ok, so what do you actually want to seen in Med3 and 40k?
>Want med3 to cover Asia and the Americas
>Want 40k to have customizable unit war gear.
>>530057948I dont want to see either of those
>>530057006Vampire Counts got abandoned after the Ghorst debacle. Bretonnia was never going to get any meaningful updates or improvements because they are the FLC faction. It'll be a miracle if Bretonnia even gets updated campaign mechanics.
>>530057948Food mechanics for both games.
>>530058228>Vampire Counts got abandoned after the Ghorst debacleIf by abandoned you mean got two reworks then sure.

>>530057332I think it partially stem from poorly written articles
A while back there were a bunch of articles that dlc makes companies more profit than games. Then you read it more closely and find out that "DLC" includes microtransactions.
I dont doubt that the DLCs help (after all CA keeps making them) but its like comparing your part time job to your main job. It helps, but its obviously not enough.
Especially not after Hyenas.

Hot take, I think Armored Kossars suck, they dont hold the line any better than a regular Kossar does which has more units and better range, speaking of their "range" option, I feel like the handguns they pull out do fuck all for damage unlike FCM, meanwhile Kislevs economy sucks early on and requires nonstop battles to help patch it out so youd rather get 2 Kislevite Warriors/Kossars over 1 Armored Kossar. This is also coming from some1 that really likes Armored Kossars designs and role but I feel like theyre weaker than they actually should be, Norscan Marauders are able to trade with them evenly (meanwhile they beat the Great Weapon variant which Katarin starts with lol) Id rather just wait for a Tzar Guard who feel like they can never die

>>530059481I'm a fantasyfag, I would play the shit out of 40k.

>>530061218I don't care about 40K, I can't play Bretonnia nor Sylvans there.
>>530061618Sure, but you can be sure that's a very small one, I'll play both.
Which Dorf should I play?
No HasSHART
>>530062352bitch who tf asked
>>530026784130 Turns of a Zhao Ming run Going alright actually. Cathay's internal borders have been secured by myself and gelt, Sis actually confederated and now we turn our attention to grimgor who is somehow winning a war on 5 fronts
>>530061218fantasoys hate 40k more than histoids, this is fact
they were already jealous and uppity back in the day when 40k proved to be much more popular, the fact GW killed fantasy to make way for 40k lite age of sigmar ground marines just cemented their hatred
>>530062735Damn didn't expect you to get this butthurt.
>>530062581I like Thorek's angry voice
And Klad Brakak fucks hard
>nu 40k
Yeah pass, maybe I'll get it for 90% off in 10 years when modd are out to fix the inevitable female spess muhreens and fugly SoB
>>530060373you can do architecture right and you can do it wrong
>>530059463on map Agents are and have always been ass
glad 3k got rid of them
>>530026784Playing Elspeth on The Old World map, also using Tabletop caps so battles don't become a complete snoozefest after a while.
I've got pretty much the entire empire in my hands or Reikland's. Katarin and Kostaltyn have taken most of Ostland, though, and I'm debating whether to kick them out by force. In case anyone knows: Does Imperial authority count territory held by non-empire allies, or will I need to kill them if I want that territory back?
>>530063249I think she went too far. Still sexo
>>530063405Wow a shit opinion on /twg/ what a surprise
brutality and cunny equals winning
>>530063810brutality and cunny equals jail
>>530063507you clearly don't play the games, otherwise you wouldn't be making such retarded ass posts you fucking faggot
Are halberds the best melee unit?
Your biggest threats are usually cav and monsters
They have armor piercing, have high melee defense so they always hold the line
Do I ever need to bother getting anything else for melee infantry when I have access to halbers?
>>530062826>>530061618>>530062160Niggers i don't care about obvious histodogs false flag.
Majority of people will enjoy the transition to sci-fi the same they enjoyed the transition to fantasy.
>>530057268wouldn't Nagash be a Tomb Kingerino?
>>530064454>getting this assblasted over his shis opinion being called outHoly kek
>>530064503They aren't that good against other infantry (unless they're Khorne halberds) so some factions that spam elite infantry can beat a halberd line pretty easily. Also they're unshielded so ranged heavy factions can shit on them hard.
>>530064528>redditors will enjoy the transition to nu40kwell duh
>>530065105Funny you mention khorne halberds because now I remember playing khorne campaign and only spamming halberds because of how crazy good they were
But even non-khorne, there is just too much that already shits on even elite infantry and especially ranged (piloted by AI)
Warhammer Fantasy: NWOBHM
Age of Sigmar: Church Rock
Early 40k: Death/Trash Metal
Nu40k: NuPower Metal
>>530061937I would count myself lucky if they even revealed the third faction this year. motherfuckers.
>>530065427Creshun archers!
togal war ideas;
-Total War Vedas. This is India Total War with mythological Indian gods and heroes.
-Total War Saga: Alexander in Pharaoh Engine
>>530065781Just shave, Azazel
>>530065971Alexander would unironically be a good idea
So of course it will never fucking happen
>>530064528you're actually fucking retarded
maybe try talking to people outside r/totalwar sometime tranny
>>530065971>>530066069>Alexanderit sucked the first time they did it and it'd be the same this time
>>530066262>suckedEat my ass faggot, it was kino.
>>530066262they phoned it in last time lol...
I'd imagine it with a bigger map and actually fleshing out the Persians, The Greeks, and the Indians. Not just Alexander stomping things in a few years.
Also it'd carry on past the Alexander age into the Diadochi wars
>>530066262This is CA, everything sucks out of the box.
Even Warhammer is borderline unppayable without 20+ mods
bros what if they combined every hist TW into one game with Civ-style technological ages and reinvented ship-to-ship naval battles and a full global map and and and
>>530066557it'd just be a bad idea for them because;
either;
-wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle
OR
-actually make many games in one game, which they know they could have just sold one by one and made more money.
>>530065971Sound like nice ideas to tank the series for good.
>>530066557Empire 2 satisfies that role well enough. As a 'world stage' game.
>>530067350Good.
Fuck CA, fuck Total War and fuck the fans.
>>530067393More like renaissance era, with more variety than fucking linemanii.
my Warhammer 40k Total War faction picks
-Eldar ( Harlequins )
-Necron
-T'au
>>530067567For me its
-Sisters
-Harlequins too
-Alpha Legion
>>530067537shut up Slaanesh.
>>530067567I will wait for the inquisition semi-horde DLC
>>530067567I'll take T'au, Orks and MechaniCUM.
>>530067554They should do a soft copy of the europa universalis games.
>>530067567>my Warhammer 40k Total War faction picks>Eldar ( Harlequins )>Necron>T'au
>>530068157They actually should
>>530066091Only people liking WFB but not liking 40K at the same time are:
Youtubers like Soรฏtek
r/Sigmarxism
Both because of "muh Imperium fascism", so which group are you from ?
>>530068351>you're a onions lefty tranny if you dont like primarisfaggotry and female custodes!!!Whoa...
>>530068785>try to divide WFB fanbase and 40k fanbase>"I'm from the right"Pick one, divide and conquer is a jew tactic.
>>530068952As if custodes are going to be in the game, primaris are fine.
>>530060271It'a vidya only ratclick Massive buffs against rats and nurgle, solos entire units of chosen, lords...but there's a catch it's ET lore and it's a SEM
>>530068952Retard, reddit love Primaris and she Custodes.
>>530068351t. only learned about warhammer during the pandemic
fucking kill yourself newfag
>>530061218Fantasy has retarded moments that are funny, 40k is a collection of retarded moments
>>530068351I dislike 40k as a setting because it's so grimdark and over the top
Probably still gonna play 40ktw though
Also gonna be miffed that we don't get med3 or empire2 or renaissance, but they gotta go where the money is
>>530069558>this retard thinks that if they made 40k they wouldnt make it another 10 year project to milk with every faction they could squeeze in
>>530068351I'm in the "TW doesn't work post-1900" camp but I'd like to see them try it
>>530070021Unless they give custodes an actual army in the tabletop I don't see it happening, it'll be some special units for mahreens or a themed DLC for them with a faction specializing in those fucks.
Anyway if dislike them so much, you just go and kill their asses, it's total war.
Mother Ostankya doesnt fit being Kislev at all
I've said this before, 40k and whatever more modern setting would work fine. They just need to adapt the battle commands a bit. It isn't rocket science really, I'm a dev.
IMO the hardest part to actually do here is adding jets and planes, if they add them.
40k would also open up historical games like never before, with WWI and WW2 and modern what if settings.
Its gonna be a CA original setting to get past licenses and maximise profits
Screencap this
>>530070957Man WW2 would sell like hotcakes.
>>530070665She's what every slavic woman looks like once they hit 40
>>530070665>the hardest part to actually do here is adding jets and planesI'm pretty sure they were testing that type of thing with the Thunderbarge. We probably won't get proper planes since they couldn't hover, but there's plenty of stuff in 40k that could reasonably hover and shoot just like the Thunderbarge.
>>530070665If its the Incarnate and such you mean, they can canonically be summoned and controlled by normal, non chaos wizards
>>530071182>maximise profits>originalyou know it would take way more effort to make something completely new right?
>>530071210What would Total War: WW2 even look like? What would you name it? How little would be in base game to be added in DLC?
>>530067567as long as they add the imperial guard I'll be happy, they're the best faction
the sisters of battle and the crusader space marines are cool too
>>530069673DESU Ratclick is more realistic than TWWH. Imagine fully-geared Empire Captain, Waystalker, Fire Wizard and hybrid Dwarf Engineer/Thane going against mostly small packs of Clanrats and Marauders, with Patrols being only ~12 Stormvermin or Chaos Warriors (3 per hero) and Trolls/Chaos Spawn only coming as single entities. Even horde waves are less than 120 skavenslaves, ie trivial. A four-man hero stack like this would handle them with zero issues, especially considering they all have some form of Regeneration (thp generation/Kerillians team-wide hp regen).
>>530071350If it were up to me with full resources:
>Incredibly large maps>Jets can patrol an area until guided to an attack pointLow resources
>Jets come from "outside" the map >Works like an army ability, but can be shot down like a normal unit.
>>530067567I'm looking forward to
>Mechanicus>Dark Eldar>Tyranids>Necron
>>530069776August 2004, the White Dwarf with the Mรปmakils.
>>530071621>WW2 even look like?Have you never ever seen an WW2 RTS anon? Jesus, this thread has the most uncreative fucks ever.
>>530071535Still cheaper than GWs fees
>>530071659>IG>best factionThey look completely out of place.
Solar Auxilia when?
>>530072332two more weeks
>>530072175Not really, GW fees comes with a guarantee of success from 40k, even if it's a bugged mess at launch. People will eat that shit up.
An original title has no guarantee at all of success and their setting could be extremely boring so no one cares about it. Too much risk here, they need a sure win, SEGA demands it.
>>530071992>Have you never ever seen an WW2 RTS anon?You inbred mongoloid, I have seen plenty of WW2 games. But I know CA. Do you honestly think CA would release all of it at once? No way European and Pacific are in one game. Most likely the game only starts with Germany, UK, France and Russia. Italy for sure is DLC.
>>530063454Cant help you with edge-case mechanics, but I'm just going to say that you're based for using mods that limit you and AI from using retarded doomstacks instead of balanced armies.
>>530062773Quite a many turns to unite Cathay, but I suppose that means you had lots of fun fights where enemy has time to build opposition instead of the boring meta "ambush main armies and steamroll their settlements in 5 turns or less". I'm happy if you've enjoyed your campaign.
Total War: Endless Legend
>>530068785Putting a space before punctuation is common ESL speak, that's not a mutt you tard
>>530064503Halberds have good base profile (AP to damage elite infantry and large, high MD and defense against usually most dangerous units ie large) and high MD, but their greatest weakness is low MA which means elite can opener infantry like Black Orcs, Executioners and the like body them. However as in campaign redline and tech buffs usually handle the MA issue, they are indeed great generalist swiss knife option. In contrast buffed can openers end up being even better can openers but still eat shit against elite AP cavalry and monsters.
>>530072332HH tard detected
opinion rejected
How will Total War 40K work? One Space Marine faction and you pick the color?
>>530071621Total War ww2 is about as likely as 40k
>>530073967IG looks like shit
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
>>530070957>IMO the hardest part to actually do here is adding jets and planes, if they add them.Strafing run abilty, just like in COH.
>>530071753Give the U5 a steamtank a they'd stop Sneedeon dead in his tracks
>>530074192So it's for sure happening?
Imagine using Hitler as a legendary lord.
Guess which day we shall receive the news.
>>530070957They can do the Dawn of War 2/CoH approach. The planes will be army abilities, basically. Lord General of IG can basically call down two planes to wreck enemy infantry in a radius.
Who are we rooting for in the Turin Grand Tournament?

Poland (norsca tier npc type faction that sucks balls and exists only to be destroyed)
Italy
Romania
Dlc Pack 2
US
Sweden
Norway
>>530072332IG don't look out of place and they're absolutely necessary for the Imperium's aesthetics, because they're the only reminder that the Imperium is an immense political body that extends across almost innumerable cultures and isn't just a monolithic entity where everyone does their shit the same way, and that not every military body is rich enough to afford the super specific looks power armor soldiers tend to have.
Fact that GW get lazy and make most regiments just cadian-like nonwithstanding.
>>530074176It will be Ultramarine and you will enjoy them.

As long as we outnumber them, we will hold!

>>530078597Unit quotes is so hit or miss in Warhammer
Sometimes you get some really sovlful stuff, like that one empire quote about keeping one specific guy at the rear line because they promised his mother
Or basically anything that comes out of the goblins mouth
Then WH2 happened and its all just

And the buildings built in campaign map for that city definitely dont exist as buildings in actual siege that would end up damaged if you bombard and burn them during the siege right? Asking for a friend.
>>530081751those older traction trebuchets pale in comparison to proper European counterweight trebuchets
so much so when the Mongols launched their conquest of Song China in the 1260s they brought along European(most likely from the Crusader States vassalised by the Ilkhagnate) siege engineers to build what they called "Frankish Mangonels", European style counterweight trebuchets that severely outraged Chinese artillery and could batter down Chinese fortifications previously impregnable to Mongol assaults

As for how to use them, should I just send them with other more numerous infantry?

>>530092327Total War: DC Comics when?
>>530092567Treat them like monstrous infantry. Get them stuck into your battle line and they'll put out consistent damage (not that your warriors/chosen need the help). Even without the tech boosts they're still durable as shit
They're meant to bolster a cheap marauder frontline in multiplayer/early game but they're usually not worth the cost in multiplayer and by the time you can get them in campaign you probably have a decent amount of warriors/chosen
>>530092987>brazil>nazi-occupied>africa>ape-controlled
>>530092567They can hold their own, even before your tech gigabuffs them.
I usually keep 1 per army as a sort of personal retinue for the lord, give them unique names too.
They're pretty much all-rounders, though I usually embed them into my front lines.

It seems like I can't lose in this game, I want a challenging campaign that I can totally lose all my settlements, no matter what happens it seems like the ai doesn't want to wipe the player out completely for whatever reason.

When it says explosion does not affect friendly troops, does it mean the initial dadmage at the start, or the whole duration? Seems pretty good
QRD on how winds of magic works in battles?
>>530097441Whole duration.
>>530097538You have some usable right away. Rest is drained from your reserves (if any). The more you have in reserves, the faster they are transferred into usable pool.
>>530097538Every army has a WoM reserve you can see on the campaign map. This is influenced by local effects, skills and for some factions an army stance.
In battle you get a starting amount and the rest trickles in over time. This can also be sped up by skills.
>>530098287>>530097538what about the button at the start of battle to channel the winds? do i ignore if i have a decent reserve?
>>530098473Always ignore. It almost always drains your reserves.
>>530098473Pretty much. As far as I'm aware it's always a 50/50 chance whether it increases or decreases, so unless I REALLY need some magic right off the bat, I usually don't bother.

>>530099489how can they be manly if they have women in the team? seems a bit odd but what do I know?
>>530100152It's not like they're directing the game, they're just adding the systems that work better for a tactical maneuvering game. CA is still calling the shots.
It's Total War with a little more unit management aspects in battle (cover, shooting, pathfinding, transports, unit micro) and a way bigger battle map, but that's CA's side already
lol 40kiddies are just writing "leak" fanfiction now
If you're chaos undivided are you able to get devoted people in your army or do you need to be only undivided? Would the magic of say nurgle help your guys or would nurgle require you to devote yourself to him?
Fluff wise
>>530101298arent undivided just the ruinous powers deciding theyre okay with coming together so champions of khorne will be drinking blood alongside champions of nurgle bathing in shit
I've given up waiting on Nagash
What factionin IE (I'll take mods if needed) gives me the best 'you're all fucked since we hold you down with a 1000 units of chaf'?
please be gentle, I've got like ten hours of playing WH2 and only then as high elves
>>530101298>>530101748Undivided is balancing worship of the Gods. So you can get dedicated units.
>>530101748>>530101810Would a god tell his followers to leave the coalition if he started to get jealous?
Does that ever happen in the books?
>>530101916But doesn't he only buff his own army?
>>530101804both nurgle and vampire counts fit that
you will have to play every single battle manually though because otherwise you lose
What would Paulie from Sopranos be in Total War warhammer 3
>>530101804Cathay. Peasantmanii have Charge Defense Against All so they wont rout on infantry contact unlike Skavenslaves and they are dirt cheap. Tech buffs + Landmarks give them Empire Swordsmen tier leadership, ~55 total MD, ~35 MA and ~80 armor. You can recruit them from any settlement and with PO building they start at 3 silver chevrons. Peasant archers are alright too. You can literally win entire campaign fielding nothing but peasants.
>>530101979I have no reason to believe that they wouldn't tell their followers to leave, but it is Chaos.
Jamal might ignore his God and say, "it was Nurgle's will to let me wander" and then come back and say, "was good, my Nurga?"
>>530101916>>530102529Yeah Ghorst too (he buffs all armies) but then you'll be grinding enemies down with shitty zombies.
How don't (competent) spear units start with charge defense against all? That's literally their only point. You cannot charge a spear from the front without risking getting jabbed.
>>530095112Play total war campaign as empire or bretonia
>>530101979The Gods tell their followers to do stupid shit all the time. The Old Choas books had a short text about a Tzeentch Champion attacking the Chaos army besieging Praag because he had a dream about it.
FUCK I have just given Archeon a Dark fortress by mistake, thinking it is a normal settlement. Campaign ruined.
>>530103962Who is your Legendary Lord? I am guessing that you are playing a modded faction.

A must have mod, highly recommend it.

Why do people here have so much faith that they can do 40K??
>>530105225Compared to other modern dev studios, they are still very much competent. Imagine being a blizzard fan, with the last good WoW game being Wrath.
Hating Blizz is so late 2010s, grow up
I get anxious when enemy Darkshards get within 125 metres of my frontline.
Three Kingdoms is very fun.
>>530106040i tried it earlier today, played the bandit lady and the first two battles felt very good but the campaign map had too many mechanics and it scared me and i quit the game
>dies before combat begins
>>530106168That's surprising; I haven't played WHIII but it seems to have more unique mechanics than 3K.
>>530106168It was my first game, I watched a lot of videos and did a lot of restarting but has been a very fun time
Now I'm learning WH3 and its a lot more difficult now that armies aren't the same and there is a lot of abilities and spells to pay attention to

how do I convince allies to claim abandoned cities?
I don't understand when you want a king, runelord or daemon slayer
>>530108481Pretty sure you can tell them to attack it with an army as if it were an actual target
Just settle it yourself and sell it back for dosh
They should create a difficulty that is harder than Legendary.
So how is Archaon played? I haven't tried WOC in WH3. Is it a Pokemon campaign where you try to confederate the WOC lords?
>inb4 play Be'lakor
I've heard he's more fun but Archaon is cooler.
>>530026784I am on turn 115 or so of a Drycha run. Orion: vassal, Sisters of Twilight: vassal, Durthu: vassal. I have control over all but 3 magic forests. Malekith was the biggest threat until I knocked him down a few pegs. Now I am about to march northeast since chorfs are the biggest threat to me, followed closely by dorfs.
>>530109856Got it in my Skulltaker campaign. Was fun.
The AI should not cheat at all; it's a computer, it can definitely be smarter than a person.
>>530107590the battles in 3K just feel smooth and responsive with how the units move around compared to warhammer, although less variety so probably would get old quicker. i haven't gotten very far yet though just early game battles
>>530107948maybe I'm just used to the warhammer games too much, wh3 feels like nothing to me but 3K is overwhelming
>>530105225I mean Alien Isolation was a thing. Adding more shooting and vehicles isn't that far-fetched as some make it to be.
You see indie devs develop RTS games from the ground up almost alone these days, it isn't rocket science and it's way easier than building a third-person game with good animations.
>>530072453Even more, if the game is decent you have basically millions of retards acting as your marketing team. CA could make numbers never seen before if they manage to make a decent launch.
>CA>decent launchWell, they'll still sell millions of copies, probably.
>>530110982>CA could make numbers never seen before if they manage to make a decent launch.The risk is too big, they won't do it, at least not now that they need sure shots.
I hate Vampire Counts.
Not fun to play.
Not fun to spend twenty minutes fighting.
>>530110982Anon, SEGA literally went to their house and told them to stop making their bullshit games ASAP. They literally have no leverage to do anything original with no security of success.
SEGA made that poll to gauge interest in Total War titles for a reason, CA isn't calling the shots anymore.
Horde of goblins led by abnormally big goblin
>>530111537they are fun to fight depending on your army, if you have a lot of single entities and chariots and artillery or magic they are fun to fight
not fun to play as though, which is a shame because they were probably the most fun in wh1
the rework will fix them like it fixed chaos
>>530111692I still find it amazing how Sega's executives have more sense than CA's.
>I'm here to see the game>Looks at it for a minute>Cancel it right now>Sees how the colored hair team looks like a mess>Fire everyone>Make strategy game, ok?
>>530111897>the rework will fix them like it fixed chaosPowercrept to shit you right click and fall asleep
what if the last faction is the Vampire Coast?
it's the Tides of Torment after all...
>>530113187Better than helves
>>530113243is there anything to add to helves still?
>>530113187I keep telling you faggots it's going to be Vampire Coast led by Yin-Yin
>>530113750Is Yin-Yin like attractive in a retarded way? Or is she going to be another ching chong bing bong propaganda lord?
>>530114010she will look like a pirate isabella
>>530113187It shall be Thanqoul
>>530113505They can just make up something.
>>530114679haha good one!
>click unit
"THEY HAVE WRONGED US!"
It's gonna be a good battle.
A part of me thinks it would be really funny if they just straight up ported 3k Lu Bu as a Cathay LL. Give him an ability to duel other lords like in 3K and the ability to mount/unmount and that's all he'd need
>getting kind of tired of fighting off half-stacks every turn
>see the Ptolemies are somehow getting sieged down at Epohesus
>ask for them to give me Side and a peace deal
>they actually do it
Huh. Well they won't have any possessions left in Asia Minor once Ephesus falls, but I really wasn't expecting them to actually take that deal. Maybe things are worse for them than I thought.
So when someone has a buff that says
X +Y%
X +Z% when fighting against (faggot faction)
Is their X bonus Y+Z or just Z when fighting (faggot faction)?
>>530116243Y + Z, both buffs are applied separately by the code.
Imagine a DLC three Lord pack which gives the following new LLโs
Vampire Count LL, Vampire Coast LL, and Tomb King LL
Such a great idea..
Release it near Halloween too
And pack it with an FLC vampire Hunter Empire Lord

Can you NIGGERS make a new thread already?
>3 weeks until 3rd LL reveal
>3 months until DLC releases
So excitinzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hopefully the new game reveals in December will be good.
