eat veggies
dance naked around trees
have sex with Bretonnians

Is Pharaoh worth picking up now?

Wood Elves do not sleep with Bretonnians.

What tier will Space Marines be recruited at?

I like how the Bretonnians worship an elf goddess and that's why I can't play Orion because Bretonnians should be protected

>>530287625
yes but you should play Mesopotamians, Hittites or Greeks because Egyptians ate fucking gay

>>530287725
3 for basic marines
4 for primaris marines
5 for specialty and other varieties of marines

is there any chance whatsoever of another Khorne DLC or Freelc? I'm seriously addicted to this faction but I've played all the lords so many times it's repetative. I want new Khorne LL:s

Not very likely.
I think that Khorne is actually the only Chaos God that won't receive anything from this point onwards.

>>530288572

>>530286882

>>530288904

too bad but yeah kinda expected. The faction is pretty much perfect.

Nagash has good taste.

news today?

>>530292364
The day you lose hope in getting news is the day we finally get news.

>>530292364
news on the 18th

>>530292289
What hurts most is that it's just this one DLC this year.
So we're going to basically just get one actual relevant race DLC, depending on what the 3rd one is.

>>530292519
What happens on the 18th?

>>530292567
Some shitty James Workshop presentation.

>>530292718
It isn't shitty if it reveals the 3rd race.

>>530292746
It's for tableslop.

>>530292289
>>530292560
Fuck off, Norsca is the faction in the MOST need of any sort of love in this game

>>530291597
Anon, Sofia...

LUTHOOOOORRRRRR

>>530292924
Sofia has been wiped out. Horsham got jealous and executed the staff with death by powerpoint. There isn't a DLC team anymore.

I dare CA to release a Warhammer 3 DLC roadmap.

Imagine if it takes 8 months per DLC for Medieval 3 and 40K.

>>530288485
>Morathi
>Enlisted

>>530293076

This expansion that was almost as large as the base game took 9 months to develop and release.
What is Creative Assembly's excuse?

>>530292831
It doesn't matter what it needs, it matters what people want.

>>530293402
Doubt it, they'd have bigger DLC teams on them. Warhammer 3 is taking this long now because Sofia is a smaller team with less experience with Warhammer even, Historical games are piss easy to make DLCs and Fantasy will have the usual Rich DLC team.

>>530292560
They're clearly working on other things, sales of Warhammer DLC obviously declined a bit but not enough to stop completely so they're still working on the game, but have probably moved a lot of team onto different projects.

>>530293613
People have been wanting a Norsca update for a long time so that the faction is finally not the most boring shit imaginable.

>>530294030
>People have been wanting a Norsca update
Lol

The first lord I will play shall be the FLC lord.

does creamapi still work?

>>530294298
no, using it creates mustard gas

I hope that future Total War games will continue to provide FLC lords and factions.

>>530293608
the industry standards changed. back when w3 was released the industry was hyper competitive and incentives made it so games would get released faster, this made teams more efficient and talent was far more appreciated because it could produce good stuff in less time. in fact blizzard was sort of an exception because they took more time than other studios to make their games, which meant they could take up to 2 years instead of 1. of course all of that is far gone now days due to how much money and people got into the industry. now teams aren't as close knit or talented as they used to be.

>5min

Its over.

>they just confirmed it's rats
It's over...

People don't even post those pretend news tweets anymore.
That is how you know that /twg/ has been truly broken.

CA is finished

>>530294946
nothing happened you lying asshole.

>>530295989
I really hate that AI ignores everything just to send everything at you the player, yet they never get punished for it

>>530296347
I was wondering why he wasn't being punished, Skrolk is getting his asshole gaped by the GREAT WHITE.

44 mins. It is known.

>>530296240
just shoot me, nangau-chan. I no longer hope for news.

42, it's the answer to everything.

Never, EVER touching this dogshit faction again

>>530297496
Their rework is being announced within the week.

>>530297496
i just cant get the hang of bretonnia, ill stick to good old dawi

>There are people who STILL haven't figured out the way to make Bretonnia work.
Rush Questing Knights, use them as frontline, fuck peasants.

>>530297496
24 minutes until their rework

>>530280862
they stop playing entirely

Do you prefer to kill your enemies at range or up close?

>>530292560
Neferata/Nagash/Yin Yin DLC on december, it is known.

>>530294030
Only because they're actually in the game give anyone a choice between Norsca and any other race that might work even random shit like Amazons and they'll choose that Norsca is so fucking boring

2022 = 1 DLC
2023 = 2 DLCs

>>530299212
HERE COMES YIN YIN WITH A STEEL CHAIR

>>530288583
they cute

Remind me, why did CA chose to make Elspeth bald again?

Maybe they forgot to post the news.

>>530300741
she isnt though she just has a thing on katarin isnt bald it kinda makes sense in battle long flowing hair would probably be a massive deterrence

>>530299205
2026 = 2 DLCs
2027 = 2 DLCs
2028 = 1 DLC
2029 = 2 DLCs

6.2.2 tomorrow? I want to see what they meant by Warriors of Chaos changes. I think we won't get the news before Steam Summer Sale ends, but the hotfix patch is overdue.

>>530301157
Imagine Warhammer 3 surviving until 2031.

>>530301063
Alarielle and the Welf sisters have no problem with their hair out thoughever

>>530301197
They are giving Minotaurs of Khorne to Valkia.

>>530301240
I mean, the only reason we're still getting support is because Pharaoh bombed giga hard

>>530301243
Both 1000 year elves Elsepth is a regular woman

>>530301240
TT Cathay models going out of stock in matter of hours. GW and CA will milk us and the chinks for years.

>>530301485
Did they truly?

>>530301372
Isn't Elspeth like a weird specter/ghost of Shyish? i think i heard somewhere that she turned into smoke after defeating Tamurkhan only to apper again a few months later

>>530301532

So, if the Imperial deity of war and strategy is a woman, why are there no female soldiers?

Honestly, how would this battle turn out?

>>530304310

>>530301883
She is also alive since at least 3 normal Nulners generation.

>turn 150
>tons of land and heroes
>it takes literally 10 minutes or more to do every single hero action because they always have this slow movement animation that needs to be completed
Man I really wish we had Civs quickmove option for heroes

>>530304914
The Old World pantheon applies to the Empire, yes.

>>530304770
Skarbrand banished to the chaos realm but it doesn't matter because he's a demon so he gets to come back and the status quo stays (except Gotrek and Felix are even more impressive).

>>530304770
Realistically? Skarbrand takes it.
Meta-narratively? Gotrek (and Felix!) have plot armor on their side.

>>530290169
>up to 50,000 civilians eaten
it's never not funny

>>530301905
>Buying plastic toys
>Buying plastic toys for 185$
Just buy a 3D printer at this point

>>530304310
That would be Sigmar, Myrsneedia is a minor god imported from Tilea. Also, sisters of Sigmar exist

>>530304770
>everyone just mentioning skarbrand
there are multiple blood thirsters up to 3 or 4 they are absolutely fucked

>>530301485
First run of TOW stuff also went out of stock very fast, GW produces a laughable amount of stock for all its TOW stuff

>>530306185
"With the mighty Skarbrand send careening back to the Realms of Chaos by a perfect swing from Felix's sword, his hosts evaporate, Gotrek letting out a guff of frustration at not being able to face more bloodthirsters despite his already critically injured condition"
Yada yada, the day is saved, yada yada, Felix's love interest dies, yada yada, you get the picture.

>>530288485
>Grom and I have to manage Jurassic Park
It'll be like Scarface with Grom just eating all of the product

A dragon.................................................................................in human form.

>>530305503
You can speed up animations from camera options. Upper left corner when clicking next turn and AI starts to calculate their moves. You can either speed them up 3x or turn animations off entirely, causing lords and/or heroes to teleport to pathed target instantly.

>>530305503
>>530308263
Am I noob for just fast forwarding everything?

where the hell did CA hide the wallpapers on their website?

The TT tryhards want a more frontline unit, Cathay are getting T5 anti-infantry and anti-large lads

>>530308896
Both of them WILL be tigermen and you WILL buy them

news this week?

>>530309214
Yes, genuinely. Tomorrow or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday.

>>530308896
Cathay already has shielded and armored AP AL, long-range AP snipers and mass AP ranged (armored and shielded to boot). The only thing they are missing is AP AI can openers a la Swordmasters (or generalist can openers a la Chosen GW). Then again, their generic beatstick lord can easily duel Archaon when leveled up, so Celestial Dragon Guard (Great Weapons) could be easy addition to sell powercreep units that require minimal work to implement.

>>530308489
Nope. Fast forward for turn changes is fine, but the anon was complaining about player turn times taking too long due to slow animations and you cant fast forward those without changing camera options. Hence the previous post.

>>530309342
they still need t5 hybrid ap range/ap melee units and generic riflemen
call them the red guard

>>530309573
Might as well build another Empire army if you want allat

>>530308218
Schematics from Nan-Gau.

>>530309843
Cathay is basically the Empire but better and superior in all ways

Western barbarians and gweilo are uncivilized monkeys compared to the grorious Cathayan mandate of heaven

Cathay strong, implessive

>>530301905
>$185.00
what the fuck?
are you people rich or something? who in the right mind would pay for a couple plastic toys?

Is she right or sniffing copium

News finally....

>its shit

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/712100/view/2531535100081549529?l=english

The Roman factions in Attila are kino.
I like how the Huns armies start to ramp up even before Attila spawns so you have some pressure from Europe in the mid game before the big invasion.

>>530310157
Your link is wrong. It is actually 75% off.

>>530310049
>all she has to do is kill some stupid norscans who run headfirst into a wall
>meanwhile Li dao has to deal with snakes, monkey men, tiger men and other shit

>>530309960

>>530310049
They are all like this
>My jobs the hardest, protecting the Great Bastion, no one understands me
>My jobs the hardest, protecting the south, no one understands me
>My jobs the hardest, actually managing the empire, no one understands me
>My jobs the hardest, sending all our navy to get wrecked, no one understands me

>>530310049
copium, in reality she is only there because the warriors of the bastion need a steady supply of longmas for their operations

>>530310872
>My job is to smoke warpstone all day, no one understands me

>>530310872
nah zhao ming just gets high and Yin Yin is just smug they never bitch about how hard their job is cant say the same for the others

>Chaos Marauders

>>530310169
WH1 was also kino, having clear short-, medium- and longterm threats instead of IE's "just blob lmao".
>Empire has to consolidate early, then deal with Vampires, then prepare for chaos invasion
>Dorfs have to fend off first orc waves from dozen enemy factions and hold on, then strike back and take badlands, then ally to take on Chais Invasion
>Vampires have to take first 3 provinces as powerbase since building up economy takes forever, then fight off united Order races, then pick a side
>Norsca has to unite Norsca, then weaken south for Chaos Invasion, then decide whether to serve or challenge Chaos

>>530311301
CA really needs to add the Hung the game

Someone a thread or 2 ago told me not to play Realms of Chaos so I started again on Immortal Empires and chose Bretonnia because they were free DLC
Why did they give me a quest battle on turn 8 to defend a bunch of dwarves from a ton of tomb kings way too far away? I thought I was doing something wrong and every video is using flying units and magic casters past turn 50 to clear it

i did the ritual of ruination in the marshes as malagor, but the greenskins destroyed my herdstone. where should i migrate to?

>>530311306
>just blob lmao
I believe it's called, Total War.

>>530312429
Popular migration targets:
Obsidian Peaks
Albion
Altdorf

>>530311306
All the good TW games have a mid game threat or at least something that changes the campaign up so you don't get bored or easily snowball until the late game.
You're always going to end up blobbing, but at least make me work for it ALL the way until the end.

>>530312387
the quest battles are the biggest beginner's trap dont do them as soon as you get them there are some that are kinda easy for example Karl Franz but some are fucking brutal and I have no idea why they give them so early

>>530308263
holy shit thats what I needed thanks so much

>>530312387
Most quest battles don't have a time limit. Ignore them until you feel more confortable
For that quest in particular you really need to get your cavalry online before you attempt it and you're stuck with the peasant faction. Repanse and her Questing knights do a lot of work but it's still hard if you don't know how to split your forces

>>530312387
every faction gets quests, in wh1 it used to be where you had to complete a series of actions across the map to unlock the quest battle, but that didn't work with the bigger map so they just made it so you can teleport to the battle instead
it's best if you ignore it until later, because the quest battles are balanced around fighting them in the mid game when you are pretty strong already

Fucking Skulltaker executing my starting hero right before it reached 20 to be immortal
I'm playing Yuan Bo so I kinda deserve this.

Play Alarielle and do her quest battle :)

Omfg are shades completely broken or what?

Always remember Alarielle cucked Tyrion with a guy who got his face melted off.

>>530289958
>he does not know about the battle of ping where 50k chinkmanii fought 50k chinkmanii then 20k more drowned in a nearby river
3k has very good campaign gameplay though and battles are great aswell

>>530313072
Playing Yuan Bo as well, lost my starting hero during the siege for Hexoatl, marching down south to deal with skulltaker as we speak

>>530312583
i think ill go to the donut

>>530288572
i am
just mogged liu biao with a force twice my size thanks to balanced cavalry kino then chopped off his best friends head

>get 3K to escape TWW cheese
>use the same cheese tactics of kiting most of the army while archers and cav break singular units in combat
>average loses never exceed 50
>average kills goes well into thousands
>waste 20min to win a huge siege because I got this stupid idea that 3 units are enough to win against full stack and was right
>just found out there is an ambush stance
Is it over for me?

>>530312654
>>530313014
>>530313067
I learned that too late after spending too much time trying to clear it with peasants and a few cav units turn 9. I'll save it until later
The Empire is blocking my way to the rest of the desert, I either need to go through them trespassing or wage war against them. I could also go up around but taking attrition from chaos lands

I think it might be over.

>>530312387
>Someone a thread or 2 ago told me not to play Realms of Chaos
They are wrong

>>530313868
stop doing cheesy shit and fight like a human being because total war ai is simply not good enough to keep you entertained for long

40k waiting room

>>530314271
It was turn 80 and I had 4 out of 50 provinces for a win since I was not doing the portals
Definitely was playing poorly but even if I had twice the land it feels like it would take too long, this campaign feels better

>>530314581
dont listen to this retard >>530314271 he is the local realms apologist and completely delusional
the game was completely dead before immortal empires was released because the base campaign was just that bad

>>530314492
using cheesy strats is peak human

>>530314492
>and fight like a human being
I am, that 's the issue.

>>530302779
I thought they were gonna do round bases for old world since, isn't that the entire fucking reason they blew up the setting to make Aos?

its over....

supporting armies should be limited to 1 per battle, completely disabled for autoresolve, and arrival times should be tripled

>>530313868
There are some mods that help but not much as whole design of modern total war is Brocken.
Do you play romance or records mode?

>>530315140
>arrival times should be tripled
The only good suggestion of yours

>>530314797
>>530314840
if you essentially skip the battle part of the game by breaking the ai you are better off playing grand strategy because the campaign layer in total war is not fun enough

>>530315140
I find it funny how lightning strike is nigh obligatory because reinforcements arrive in record time in total war warhammer

>>530314849
No, that's why they made Age of Slopmar, Old World is just a return to old fantasy

>>530315707
Then why they killed fantasy to begin with if they are returning with square bases for old world?

>>530315376
how would you disincentivize AI from stacking 6 armies around every city?

>>530315140
and the unit limit for armies should be increased to 30

>>530315140
Ammo shouldnt replenish between battles they should take multiple turns to replenish (this isnt shitposting btw I genuinely think this should be a thing)

>>530315856
Im gonna be very honest here
I find 40v40s in warhammer to be absolutely unfun

Tides of Torment 3rd race reveal waiting general.

>>530316005
Yeah, I just lose track of everything and unit cards get squished too much
20 v 20 is basically the golden ratio

>>530316024
Aislinn and Yin-Yin as FLC CHECK THESE DIGITS

I can't go without news for much longer...

BTW if you use Creamapi you're not allowed to bitch about not getting more DLC.

>>530315856
Please don't
Increase unit sizes, dont increase unit count
20v20s is the perfect ratio, 30 or 40 is just an absolute shitshow
What I advocate for, however, is assymetrical unit count for factions, I would like for some factions to have smaller stacks with less units and other factions to have above 20, greenskins for example

>20v20 is good
lol
10v10 is the only way to guarantee fun in a battle

>>530316815
I fully agree fellow boomer
Total war was much more fun when 5v5~10s were the norm instead of a very early game exception

>>530316815
5v5 (no units only heroes/generals) only is the trve total war experience

Chaos factions should be able to recruit beastie boys from nearby herdstones like how everyone does from ogre camps

Should I bother with skinks/ranged in liggers? I feel like I can't protect them with these slow asses

>>530317139
True. Also, Ogre camps should spawn as random events similar to Brayherds, Savage Orcs and Rogue armies.

>>530317791
all your units are trash in AR and tree kin + ranged units are amazing in AR
>>530317375
Depends who you're playing as, Oxy and Teehee absolutely they even get buffs near Kroxigors so you can use them with Nakai too they're very versatile + the skink hero gets an amazing mount

>>530317994
Im playing as kroq

>>530316815
I agree, despite being made for massive battles, Total War is actually the most fun at a skirmish scale, it's why Rome 1 and Med 2 are so consistently fun, where even a single unit can make a massive difference whereas big battles just invariably become blobs.

>>530318086
Oh yeah then you dont really need them but the skink heroes are good especially the oracle

>>530317139
Anyone got that art of a Bretonnian centaur girl dressed like a knight? I'm surprised no one tried making a mod like that, certain types of beastmen being able to be recruited by Order factions.

>>530317375
you're supposed to pair melee skinks with an equal number of kroxigor units

What the fuck did i break now dawg

>>530319146
It's AI cheese disguised as legit formation, that's why late stage cheese is the same formation but with heroes instead proper frontline.

>>530298125
this thread says the dumbest shit that you would realize if you thought about the game mechanics for even a minute, but people are so used to cheating to bypass game mechanics that they can't even do that.

for example we have people insisting that bretonnia should make all cavalry armies. let's be honest here, the average /twg/ player barely has enough micro to effectively use even 4 cavalry units, so 19 is completely out of the question. the majority of your all cavalry army is just going to be sitting there which loses out on every advantage of being cavalry. a man at arms unit has 1620 more hp than a knights errant unit, 6 more melee defense, and costs less than half as much. two units of battle pilgrims have nearly 10k more hp than one unit of questing knights for the same cost. you would have to be a complete retard to take the knights as a "front line."

>>530319146
checkerboard formation is the kislev of army formations
it takes good and effective ideas and dials them up to the point where it's just autistic and doesn't really work any more
leaving gaps in your formation is all you need, a full checkerboard is just asinine

>>530320361
Man the collage is going to be so funny with the amount of posts of "2 more weeks"

>>530320497
Dunno, what's the broken part?

>>530320226
you already said why, saurus are too slow. skinks and krox buff each other so the skinks don't instantly melt, they're peak blob of violence together
experiment and find the right balance of cavalry to do the job of your spears. maybe keep some temple guards back to protect your solar engines but honestly enough cav can do that too

>>530321147
there's an anomalouswhite dot in the bottom left corner

>>530320957
Ok anon but here's the thing: the Questing Knights will win the battle. The Pilgrims won't.

>Other factions get missing or famous characters (Thanquol, Valten) and missing generics, some get some units as well in the same vein as the patch FLC units.

>>530321201
I'm not the other anon
I just find that saurus with spears are tankier even with the buffs, and they protect the kroxigors better. I can see the argument for the speed though, I just like to just get my frontline stuck in and forget about it while my cav and dinos do all the charging, and saurus do that better than skinks do

>>530320957
I don't agree with full cav armies as Bretonnia other than as lategame luxury armies since it's so expensive to do it properly, but Bretonnia can get away with it better than other factions. Questing knights kind of lack the HP to be a real frontline, grail guardians can be juiced pretty hard. You can also take a big airforce and that's relatively less micro heavy than regular cav

After Kairos´ buffs, its just like any other campaign. Roll over your starter enemy, roll over the first LL, then blob. In fact its somewhat easier since after taking eastern chaos wastes you have nice powerbase that very few enemies are going to attack.

>>530331247
What happens with that much charge? Does the whole unit fly off the map when hit?

>>530331935
Yes, try reading something non-american.

>>530331312
You take your Questing Knights.
You charge the enemy.
Enemy loses a lot of health because Questing Knights are heavy cavalry.
Enemy hits back a couple times before breaking because they took such an impact on the charge and the Questing Knights, unlike shock dedicated-cavalry, can be left in melee.

You take your Battle Pilgrims.
You charge the enemy (or take a charge like a fucking moron).
Enemy barely loses health.
Enemy hits back a lot of times because it's a slugfest against an infantry unit.
Enemy might or might not lose the fight, but your Pilgrims definitely got rekt either way because they're a unit of low armor and low mass infantry.

In the first case, if you get off the hammer and anvil, the enemy breaks for sure after taking two cavalry charges and being stuck in combat with the much more killy and armored Questing Knights.
In the second case, if you get off the hammer and anvil, the enemy probably being on equal grounds or even beating back the Pilgrims means they have more morale and might even turn around and kill more of your flanking cavalry.

Questing Knights = Less dead entities by the end of the battle.
Pilgrims = More dead entities by the end of the battle.

I mean they made the first loss in comapny history since (IIRC) 2013 and laid of hundreds. Hyenas was no joke.
>>530334202
I dont doubt that they're profitable, they keep making them after all. But you have to ask yourself: this is a 500+ staff company, even after the layoffs. Across several buildings, and s majority living in the UK, an expensive country.
They cannot survive on DLCs indefinitely, especially when the most expensive of those dont even charge 30 bucks.
And further, SEGA is not gonna be content with mere survival. They want profits, big profits.
IMO its also worth remembering that, if the recent sales leak is accurate, the total war fanbase is surprisingly small given the size of CA (over 800 until the hyenas fiasco, and still in the hundreds today.) Like, even 3K was like 3 million. Waehammer 3 is 2 million. Both over several years. This is not bad, but not overly impressive either.

>>530332262
>You charge the enemy.
except you don't, because you play at like 12 apm and have to dedicate all of it to your 3-4 units of grail knights. your questing knights are just sitting there with zzzzz on their icons because you forgot about them. all of the speed and charge bonus that you paid for is going to waste. you aren't going to hammer and anvil with 2 cavalry units, because that requires that you side/rear charge units to stop them from bracing and then charging them from another angle with a second unit, which again you don't have the micro to do. on the other hand a proper infantry front line can just sit where you need them to be occupying space cost effectively while you rear charge with the cavalry you are actually paying attention to.
>that's not true I can actively control 19 cavalry units at once you're just bad
don't lie to yourself

>>530335496
I think he's saying he just charges infantry with his cavalry head on with no flanking

what would a "dogs of war" bring to total warhammer that would be different enough from empire units + norsca dwarfs mercenaries?

>>530330448
greenskins actually play best as an aggro mixed arms faction with a surprisingly varied roster, you really want some magic, archers, cav, and artillery even if your main objective is to close ranks and get crumpin ASAP. they play kind of like a ramshackle aggressive version of the empire where you are either stampeding over gits or watching your shit units break and run like cowards.

use squigs/pump wagons/skulkers early to handle armor because basic boys are dogshit without a lot of support. goblin cav are dirt cheap and good at shutting down archers long enough for your swarm of shit units to swarm the enemy lines. a core of big'uns and stone trolls will carry you through the midgame, especially when waaagh is popped. orcs are kind of like saurus where they really benefit from MA/MD buffs because they tend to have good WS and health but poor base MA/MD. terror causing units are a huge pain in the fucking ass. always bring a shitstack or two with your main army, goblins are cheap and easy to replace for a reason, are great at eating up ammo with their shields, and can actually punch way above their cost with waaagh and tech buffs (and grom cauldron shenanigans).

I am absolutely NOT a fiance guy, so anyone with actual expertise is welcome to weigh in, but is this bad? Profit margin has shrunk significantly (if i am counting right from roughly 30% to around 5%). Now thats likely explained by hiring literally hundreds of people, increased energy costs, inflation/interest etc. I would not be surprised if they overhired during covid, like so many.

>>530345719
Heavens for offense, life for defense. Depends on what you want.

>>530345719
life is the easiest to use because you can just use it to heal your knights
heavens is good mainly for the damage spells, and beasts for the buffs and debuffs

>>530345719
Life is a way better lore than the other two.

Is there a way to turn off the way that selecting units and dragging sets them up in two lines (one melee/hybrid and one ranged)?

News tomorrow?

>>530345719
Life is best if you're gonna use cavalry/hero/hippogryphs mainly. Less entities = more healing, and more mobility = less chances to cast Heaven's slow damage spells accurately. If a blob forms, which it shouldn't with that kind of comp, Dwellers Below will do a decent job of deleting it.
Heavens if you go for a traditional infantry and archers line, less use for healing and you could use the damage from Heavens on the blobs that will inevitably form.
Don't go Beast.

>cavalry is a good front line
>you don't need melee units

I'm going life then
Some minor faction jobber declared war on me, and then next turn his ambush was discovered in the mountains and the dwarves obliterated them. They really don't want to trade me my banner though

>>530347938
>No argument
I accept your concession.

Durthu starts with Flock of Doom and Durthu is good.

>>530347628
>one of the best spells for killing mass amounts of low armor units is dogshit
bait?

>>530348759
I take flock of doom on kairos, it is however the only good beasts spell and doesn't make the lore good.

Brave little bird ate pecked his way through three stonethrower crews and half a dozen constructed towers.

people sleep on beasts, it's one of the cheapest support lores

>>530292435
Is getting blueballed by Slaanesh lore accurate?

>>530348864
most lores only have 1 or 2 good spells. beasts isn't any different.

Speaking of spells I'm not the only ones who find buff spells completely and utterly useless right? I don't understand why they're even in the game

>>530349245
wulfrik sucked off a slaaneshi guy didnt he?
yeah id say its lore accurate, pain and pleasure

>>530349610
I like the +magical attacks and +flaming attacks sometimes depending on who/what I'm vsing. Niche, sure. I'm much more interested in debuffing.

>>530348759
>killing mass amounts of low armor units
Like what? Skavenslaves? Goblins? We are not playing wh2 anymore. Your t1 melee units are more than capable of dealing with those.
Also, you cant spam FoD earlygame because of low magic generation and AI not blobbing around your SEs.
Also also, Lore of Metal, fire or heavens have better&cheaper tools to deal with ANY kind of infantry.

Beasts is great for lategame buff/debuff tho.

>>530349245
>When control is low, clicking on a settlement says 'our needs are unmet'
>Slaanesh settlements want low control
Yes

The last time I recruited a tier 5 unit was in Warhammer 2.

>>530311301

>>530350332
completely shit retard take stop posting

>>530349285
Yeah but it's not that good, it's good for a low "tier" but you don't get a great high-tier spell. It's not the worst lore but it's close.
>>530349610
Enticity who's a good mp player was saying you could double the duration of almost every buff spell and they still wouldn't be that great and that's in mp, in sp you can punish the ai much harder with damage making them even less worth

>>530349610
Generally yeah, they almost never generate same value as damage spells. There are few situational cases though
>Using MA+MD spells like Harmonic Convergence to turn similarly statted lord duel into decisive win so you dont spend multiple turns regenerating your lord afterwards
>Or using them to help you hit a particularly nasty beatstick lord
>Helping your frontline last longer by debuffing enemy MA so your flankers get the charge off
>Giving your units magical attacks against ethereal enemies
>Using Ward Save spells like Jade Shield to prevent your elite unit from being decimated by overcasted Warp Lightning
And of course:
>Limiting yourself to non-dmaage spells for challenge run. Damage spells end up boring eventually: see blob, cast spell. Buff/debuff only means you have to think more who to buff or debuff, when and why.

Lores that are incredible:
Lore of Life
Lore of Nurgle
Lore of Kroak

Lores that are solid:
Lore of Shadows
Lore of Death
Lore of Metal
Lore of Fire
Lore of Dark
Lore of Ruin
Lore of Great Maw

>>530288583
I get more of a Lacy and Brad feel from the wood elves
Stacy and Chad would be High Elves
Dark elves of course are Tracy and Thad

>>530351070
it's one of the best chaff clearing spells in the game on the same tier as burning head

The most powerful Lore in Total War is the Lore of Khorne.

>>530346927
Same reason that even though Chaos literally just cares about results and anyone should be able to become a Lord, we only have one female Lord who is an uggo and Sigvald who, sadly, is just a handsome man on the pretty side.

So basically unless an armor piercing unit is massively undercosted and outnumbered, it's not bad to put them against unarmored or low armored units if there's no other option, right?

How is pharaoh and troy+mythos? Feel like taking a break from TW:WH and 3K was still somewhat buggy last time I played

how would you have to change campaign mechanics so that you would always have fun battles instead of basically being designed to only give you shit ones?

>>530358710
Disable AR for non-decisive victories.

>>530357917
Pharaoh is definitely the more polished one, and Sofia did put in A LOT of optiona that allow you to customize the campaign. I only did onw campaign and found it a fun experience. Of course i only paid like 10 bucks.

Pharaoh has more content for ten bucks including most of the maps, music, main characters and a good chunk of the units from Troy, and there's mods to add all of the missing historical units as well. It also has family trees. Troy is worth it if you like the mythical stuff or want specifically unique mechanics for Achilles, Odysseus and such or want a more focused map of Greece and western Anatolia.

>>530361357
Honest question, it isn't passive-aggressive; are you new? Those rats (Snikch) spawns just south of your screenshot, on/near that tall mountain. And yeah nearly all rat settlements will show as ruins (doesn't even make sense as their normal settlements aren't even underground, CA quality). The few times I played Chinkay in Cathay I'd secure inside the walls entirely first before venturing out. But yes rats are typically pretty lame in general, they're CA's hand-hold pet project from TW2.

>>530361386
Sadly the teaser has been delayed and will be coming in 2029 (31st December). Please understand!

no I don't play Cathay much though, I knew the rats were there but I figured that the ai would be able to deal with them, didn't realize the rats would completely dominate everything
I have this same problem every time with clan Mors, fucking ratfags always derail my campaigns every single time
at least they are fun to kill

>>530362761

>>530363265
I already gave them $60. They don't get more money just for releasing an incomplete product.

>>530363482
>coping thief
The product is complete. All DLC is extra work that took time, effort, money to create. Why should you get it for free? The ONLY possibly argument for something being a rip off is the blood DLC and Champions of Chaos, because the monogod rosters are unbelievably terribad without it.

>>530363394

>>530363762
Pre-order races that are on-disk day one (which they've done many times now) kinda disproves that these games are complete on launch.

its over

>>530364061
for warhammer 3
it nevar began

>>530363762
The game was released with a roadmap. Thus, it was not complete upon release. If anything, it was early-access. What kind of a sane man pays for an early-access title and expects to also be made to pay for content updates that they're rightfully owed?

>>530364032
>>530364294
If your company released a product and then builds on and expands it, should you be forced to work for free on new features?
Dumb shits.

I feel like there is an early game aggression&expansion timer for AI. Sometimes they besiege a settlement, other AI sallies out but get wiped out, then the attacking Aı just sits there for 2 or 3 turns.

AI retreating from being besieged is also causing this. I saw Aranessa waste 5 turns on Miragliano because of this bug.

>>530364483
Of course. You released in incomplete product. Don't like it? Get the fuck out of the games industry.

>>530364759
The product is complete and delivered what it promised once IE came out. Everything afterwards is extra content.

Huh, I guess some Korean's are not total degenerates.

>>530366057
>implying I don't get raped in 8 turns regardless of what faction I'm playing
But what does Katarin getting BTFO have to do with bloat? Also you don't have to run the tribes of the north if you are playing Katarin.

>>530366264

I find it kind of amazing that Yuri looked at this and said "Nah, i'd rather be the worst faction in the game"

>Has access to mortals
>No way to confederate other daemonic lords into the faction to play it like the tabletop

What the hacks at CA did to Daemons of Chaos is an unforgivable abomination

>>530367126
she replaced Yuri with yuri

>>530367860
I'd like to believe that they plan on doing a big overhaul where Archaon/Belakor/(You) will just get access to every chaos/beastmen/norsca unit and you compete with each other to create your own end time scenario
But that's just more wishful thinking that will never come to fruition

yuan bo is fun but what the fuck were they thinking with this voice lmao

>>530359871
>>530360552
Sorry but she had another sister (more favortie than her) to kill.

>>530368873
There was a plan for original 3 Chaos Warriors lords as well as Be'lakor and Daniel to fight for the right of everchosen crown. They somewhat confirmed it in one of their ancient Immortal Empires blogs, while also mentioning that they are cooking something special for Chaos crisis. But I'm guessing they placed this stuff on the shelf for better times, if not outright abandon.

>>530370281
They also said they would release content faster than ever. They say this every year pretty much. I have mixed feeling about this, since I like how often they release hotfixes and #.#. patches now, compared to previous games.

>>530369889
Wulfrik too

>>530368873
>Archaon/Belakor/(You) will just get access to every chaos/beastmen/norsca unit
Why would that be a thing? It would be an omega-bloated, stupid roster. Just give us Daemons of Chaos + outposts if you want units from other factions. The game thrives on its asymmetry. Daemons of Chaos for Daemons of Chaos, Warriors of Chaos for mortals of chaos, Beastmen for beastmen, and monogods for a mix of mortals and daemons. Not bloating a faction with 200 units. Warriors of Chaos being able to purchase daemonic units is a decent compromise. However, the "Daemons" of Chaos faction is a total mess.

>>530370686
Yeah, I remember you could kneel or fight to take the crown.

after playing all my campaigns just conquering everything and never stopping, im wondering if its ever worth actually building up my settlements

>>530371529
Why conquer territory and not do anything with it? That's like killing an elf maiden and not raping her corpse while it's still warm, pointless and wasted potential.

Settra attacks Arkhan's lands, a battle of 9800 skellies. Only 2 heroes survived. If your PC can handle it, I recommend trying x2 unit size.

>>530385906
I read somewhere that it is misleading because it's not actually a choice for the ai and it's just a way to let the player declare war on them
not sure if it's true or not

>>530386082
I thought the idea is that the AI would comply with the warning and leave your lands. That's so stupid if true.

>>530386379
The AI is too stupid to actually follow orders like that
It was added purely because people wouldn't stop complaining about fuckers continuing to raid you after calling for peace and getting punished for trying to do something about it

Playing Western Roman Empire for the first time in Attila, Im guessing I should essentially abandon every province that isnt the 3 to 4 ones that border my capital + Africa. Why not abandon Africa you ask? Well I managed to apparently befriend everyone around me turn 1 with trade agreements and all of them are reliable and friendly to my faction, might as well milk it while I can.

>>530393561
Also I noticed that if this game had sellable/tradeable settlements like some of the other TW games have itd be 10x easier because my first instinct since I havent touched Attila in a year or 2 was to try and sell off some land for friendships

How do I into Bretonnia? Never finished a campaign with them.
All their units suck. Chaff is not only weak, duh, you can't field it in unlimited numbers. No decent range options. No solid infantry cause they are cav focused, okay. But cav sucks too. Statwise it's not great so cycle charging is the go to method, except those tards drop orders all the time because one faggot in the unit got stuck and can't push away something as small as couple of goblins. That leaves you with flying cavalry which is decent but doomstacking is gay.

>>530393561
Correct. Also the White Devils and the Huns never make it that far, usually.

I've seen Attila invade Britain before but never Portugal or Morocco. Truly the safest lands.

>use farms mostly industry is a trap really its not that good
>early game infantry before you get knights errant Battle Pilgrims are good dont bother with anything with swords (no man at arms with swords etc only get spears/shields/halberds)
Mid game
>use questing knights as infantry they can hold extremely well
>knights of the realm are anti large doesnt mean you should send them against a dragon they're amazing at taking out cav
>have at least one life spellcaster in all your armies your paladins + generals can easily get to at least 20% ward save just from the lady alone
>End game
>hippograph knights + Grail Guardians/Knights will make you near unkillable
>thats really it

Additional Misc Tips
>MASSIVE TIP after charging in put your cav on guard mode and pull them out this prevents them from going back and fighting back
>knights errant should never be in prolonged combat pull them out asap, questing knights, grail guardians and grail knights can be used as line holders
>use your LL to reinforce until you get the "saviour" trait this is extremely good since it gives you +10% speed to ALL units +charge bonus
>dont worry about losing chivalry when sacking and stuff you get it so easily be warned you might get a negative trait though
>careful when ransoming prisoners you might also get a negative trait execute captives until you get the positive trait
>the vows should always go "rank up 5 times" "win a battle at sea" "kill 5 generals" its the most consistent and doable

[Once Franz leaves Solland, Gelt breathes a sigh of relief, climbs out the window, and runs across the border to Averland, where he quickly recruits handguns and halberds to replace his lost army]
I hope you're ready for some mouthwatering handgunners!
>I thought we were having steam tanks
Oh no, I said 'steamed hands'. That's what I call handgunners
>You call handgunners 'steamed hands'?
Yes! It's a regional dialect
>Uh-huh. Eh, what region?
Uh... Reikland
>Really? Well I'm from Altdorf and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hands'
Oh, not in Altdorf, no. It's an Ubersreik expression
>I see
...
>You know, these handguns are quite similar to the ones they have in Averland
Hohoho, no! Patented Gold Order muskets. Old magical recipe!
>For steamed hands?
Yes.
>Yes, and you call them steamed hands, despite the fact they are obviously firearms.
Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second.
>Of course.
[yawns] Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped.
>Yes, I should be--GOOD SIGMAR, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?!
Chaos rift?
>Ah- A CHAOS RIFT!? At this time of year, at this time of day, this far south in the Empire, localized entirely within your province!?
Yes.
>May I see it?
...No.

Romance

I hope we get news today, and that we don't have to wait until that GW event. Though to be honest I have been losing my excitement, since I'm not as sure anymore that elves are the last faction.
I hope, at the very least, Slaanesh gets a mortal lord as a flc.

>>530399764
Records, so you can then change to romance and understand that the game was obviously designed around and is just way more fun in that mode.

Today the third LL lord will be revealed.
Skretch Half-Dead

>>530400547
Change the chaos rift to sigmar's comet next time

Did any TW after 3K used that relationship system or is it another "CA made something amazing then dropped it in the next game"? Also I can't imagine what kind of mental retardation is required for making great provinces in Shogun2, fucking it up in Rome 2 then reaching a reasonable compromise in 3K only to go back to Rome2 system in TWW.

>>530392190
Magic is better to have.

>>530404596

Games Workshop revealed Dogs of War by accident.
Now it's a matter of time when CA reveals them.

new hotfix, along with some patch notes. Some buffs, some nerfs, etc.

https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/forums/7-patch-notes-amp-announcements/threads/10367-total-war-warhammer-iii-hotfix-6-2-2

So I'm just going through the tutorial campaign as Yuri. Anyway, should I be hauling all the heros into one guy and move them around or should I be splitting them up differently?

Queek Headtaker now has 4600 health. That is more than the average human and elf.

>>530404071
They didnt "go back in tww" because tww 3 is using the same code as ancient tww, 3k and pharaoh is on a much newer branch of warscape engine

>>530407742
>5 days ago
why does it say this?

>>530408897
Probably when the content creators and multiplayer people got access to the patch notes/ beta.

Romebros...
they remembered we exist...

>>530409006
oh yeah that makes sense

Lore of Plague buffs
Saurus Warrior buffs
Tzaangor buffs
Purple Sun buffs
Volkmar the Grim buffs
Arch Lector buffs
Queek buffs
Tyrion buffs
Swordmasters of Hoeth buffs
Har Ganeth Executioners buffs

>>530385906
Yes, I was playing on TOW map as Franz and was fighting the skaven to the southeast. Bretonnians to the west decided they wanted to "help". Before they were able to take rightful Reikland clay I told them to fuck off and then they did this weird little dance where they were on my territory in striking distance of the skaven but they wanted to obey the trespass warning so they ran back, then the next turn they were on my territory in striking distance of the skaven again

>I threaten a faction
Diplomatic hit and everyone hates me, even the factions who are enemies of threatened faction
>Enemy threatens me
All okay, we'll that slide :)

>>530407789
I dont remember what heroes you get, but generally you want to spread spellcasters around, 1 per army. For melee heroes stacking them may make sense if they get a good mount and you want to doomstack, but often having too many heroes leaves your frontline/ranged/artillery line lacking. Movement speed/replenishment/training buffs dont stack either.

I love warhammer fantasy

>>530393561

Perfidious MP balancing

Is it normal to have all my heroes sound like my LL in the skill tree page?

>>530410040
Too bad the game was made around romance and records is kinda wonky with balance

>>530410362
yeah if they're embedded it'll act like you clicked on your general and then clicked on the hero

The big winners of the patch are the Helblasters and the Exorcism passive.

I'm confused about how to play wood elves
Am I doing it wrong if I just try to ally/occupy all the settlements that contribute to tree health and go around taking care of the invasions when I have nothing else to do?

>>530411464
yes Welves get big bucks from sacking you should be either occupying them and giving them to allies in exchange for cash or blowing them up

Do you remember newsday, Mr. Anon?

It'll be this Tuesday for sure. And the third faction will be revealed. And the youtube shills will be releasing videos hyping it up within 5 minutes. And we'll be filling thread after thread within a single day... and making memes as we all get hyped because it will be so good. Do you remember the feeling of hype for new content?

>VC buffed apart from Wight King nerf

They should just announce the next game already

are beastmen fun?

i cant decide on my first faction

Imagine if we get a hotfix and news on the very same day!

>>530413376
We already have high fantasy Total War
>Wow it's Total War but with elves, dwarves, wizards an-hang on a minute

>>530413629
They are fun, try taurox.

Imagine a Total War but all units are ranged.

>>530412219
They should be buffed more.

>30 years since the first total war
>still no Finno-Korean Hyperwar game

>>530413629
beastmen have very fun battles if you like flanking and shock tactics, and on the campaign map it's too easy to be fun imo but if it's your first time playing that wouldn't be an issue, plus they have a lot of unique mechanics and play differently from everyone else

I just defeated an entire 20 stack with 2 (two) ((1+1)) Exalted Plaguebearers of Nurgle.

>you get a dogs of war dlc
>it's just a bunch of rors and lords anyone can recruit

What kind of units were they?

>>530415054
Thunderbarges.

>>530415190
why you lying though?

>>530415054
Mostly just tier 2/3 Norscan stuff. One Exalted Plaguebearer got 6000 damage value and the other 5000 damage value.

>>530414849

I was battle testing N'Kari vs various other Legendary Lords and N'Kari utterly crushed almost all of them. Grimgor gave it a good go but ultimately he was also crushed.

Imagine if N'Kari gets buffed alongside the Slaanesh DLC.

I'm not surprised, they're OP

NEWS TODAY

>>530413904
Empire was very fun, bugs aside

news are for winners
so you best ask yourself
are you a winner?
thats what i thought

>>530417016
The news is that there will be more news later.

>Flaming Attacks: 0 -> 10

News in negative 23 hours

I'm going to kill myself if this is what happens

This is pretty much the cap for Exalted Plaguebearer stats. Festus' Chosen of Nurgle (Great Weapons) are better.

>>530417645
Fucks sake not more sodding rats

>>530417645
Say it with me
3 evil faction dlc 2: who cares boogaloo

News when?

>>530417645
It makes sense. Remember how retarded the devs were about the Skaven before WH2?

Slow and stinky wins the race.

>>530417645
I find it fascinating how skaven fatigue has hit the fanbase in game 3

>>530418564
what in the god damn?

>>530418984
Exalted Plaguebearers are utterly ludicrous when fighting melee-only armies. It also helps that they are receiving tremendous buffs from Epidemius.
Never underestimate Nurgle in melee. Only Khorne is better.

>>530417925
Its hilarious how badly thrones of decay have performed

>>530419339
>omens so forgettable you forgot about it

>Resolved edge cases with excessive loading times on some limited spec machines with HDDs.
so this is why anons complained about load times "bugs"

Why not make a Wrathmonger doomstack? They could probably defeat even a 80 stack.

I swear for a game where you kinda have to put at least a modicum of thought into playing it this community is dumb af being surprised that game 3 is on maintenance mode after CA announced 3 different bloody games coming out why are people still shocked about this?

>>530419398
>>530419339
Lets be real here
The real reason why game 3 dlcs have performed badly, pricing and image issues aside, is because its full of evil factions, and with exception of ogres and chorfs, the evil factions kinda suck

>>530419854
>I swear for a game where you kinda have to put at least a modicum of thought
Wrong thread?

>>530419854
There is a delusional segment of the fanbase that believes warhammer dlcs can sustain CA for atleast 5 more years and defend that CA doesnt need to work on new games
Just ignore, and maybe report them

>>530419398
OoD was so boring man 2 races that didnt even need a rework Ogres should've been lumped with something else and who knows why Greenskins needed a dlc so urgently

I know you need to get your joke points in but total war games at least require some thought and planning not to just immediately suck its not a gacha auto battler where you click one button a certain type of person gets into strategy games if you dont want to think and stuff you wouldnt be playing strategy games

>>530420258
A single mpchad is worth a hundred thousand spshitters. CA clearly agrees.

kinda odd that they announced both historical and fantasy total war games are in development do they hope that people will buy both? but then they can only play one of them at a time splitting the numbers so would it be safe to say either the historical or fantasy game is coming like 2032?

Spellcaster Legendary Lords per Warhammer 3 DLC:
Ogre Kingdoms: 1
Champions of Chaos: 3
Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs: 2
Shadows of Change: 3
Thrones of Decay: 1
Omens of Destruction: 0
Tides of Torment: 1

>Total WARCRAFT: an Azeroth SAGA
Will you buy?

Change my mind: Lords that are both good in melee and can cast spells are absolutely busted.

>>530420861
>saga
Nope

>>530420319
>its not a gacha auto battler where you click one button

If the games are Med3 and 40k they'll both sell really well. Also they won't release at the same time at all.

Warcraft 20 years ago? Sure.
Warcraft today? Holy shit no.

>change in singleplayer recruit cost for a single unit
>multiplayer recruit cost for that unit will change in an upcoming hotfix

>>530419854
its mostly the fact that they pumped out dlc no problem in wh2 days because they had a dedicated team doing that while the main team worked on new projects

>>530419398
Still can't believe Omens made the Greenskins actively worse than they used to be

>>530421823
And people believe they cant just nerf/change stuff for MP only

>>530420258
If 100 people control the balances of a game played by 100k, then its the fault of the 100k people

no and I would never play tw again in rage

Please understand, it costs at least two Charlemagnes a month to untangle Horsham's spaghetti.

i dont get it
the unit balance changes apply to the campaign?
its under "Elite infantry in Domination"

When are we getting Abhorash and the Blood Dragons.

>>530422258
its just some higher up sperg at ca who fell for the esports meme pushing it

Shut your mouth and be grateful for what you've got, or we're nerfing Vlad again.

HEY, YOU
What is your favorite unit in the Empire's roster?
Which is the one that makes you go "Hmmm, yeah, that's just so sexy"?

>>530420012
This.
There were people who genuinely believed that WH3 was just going to get a new DLC every 4 months until 2029 and are now thunderstruck that, surprise surprise, CA want to move on to (what they hope will be) greener pastures. Kind of sad that it took Omens and now Tides taking eight months each for them to start waking the fuck up but better late than never I guess. All I'm hoping for at this point is that Neferata manages to just barely make it in before they declare the game "finished".

>>530420861
Set around Frozen Throne? Might be kino.
Miss me with that World of Pozzedcraft setting though.

That was CA's original plan but SoC showed them that they can't release less for more and they pivoted.

>>530423702
nothing beats tearing through zombies and skeletons with flagellants

>>530424250
Yeah they pivoted to one DLC a year while rushing as fast as they could toward TW40K 1, Cytharai save us.

>>530423702
I feel dopamine hit my brain every time I hear "THA TATTASOULS" I can't explain it.

>How to improve Bretonnia
I think Bretonnia needs strategic improvements more than tactical ones. By that I mean their game on the campaign map and their mechanics need to be more interactive and customizable.

They should expand Bretonnia itself by splitting up the existing holdings into more regions. If they're worried about making it too valuable, they should create a new category of sub-settlements where you only have 1 or 2 building slots.

Bretonnia should emphasize Feudalism by having players assign heroes and lords to govern specific settlements. They could add multiple rows to the skill tree addressing governance and exploitation of the settlements as well as applying bonuses to their ability to fight, command armies, and gain/lose chivalry based on how they are ruling their people. Basically something like, but more personal and customizable than, the Kislev Atamans. Let them have a "fealty" event dilemma similar to the loyalty dilemmas for even more customization. I kind of miss that about Kislev's new Atamans.

We could also emphasize feudalism by allowing Bretonnian factions to borrow feudal lords off each other through the use of Chivalry. This would entail a temporary alliance with given settlements that allows for mercenary/ally-style unit recruitment of basic peasants and one tier 2+ unit depending on the type of lord governing a settlement. A low-level Paladin might only let you hire a Questing Knight where a high-level Paladin will instead let you hire a Grail Knight. An Enchantress may let you hire a Royal Pegasus Knight, or a settlement with a Chapel would let you hire a Grail Reliquae.

Lastly, it'd be neat if Bretonnia could be played as a more colonial power. When a Bretonnian moves in, they aren't going to drop their beliefs about the way the world is run. So over a long period of time, as they build up public order/control over bad territory, they have a higher chance of turning it into green territory.
