Be a good person

how strong would sonic be in 40k?

>>530849840
Super Sonic clears the primarchs, Super Sonic 2 would kill the Chaos Gods

>>530849840
He would win.

is sonic susceptible to corruption?

Apologise to Legend

>>530850069
*Ask sorry to Legend

>>530850069
He was always on our side until the very end but we rejected him, the hero we needed but didnt want, the Pivot King

Never. He's hinduphobic.

APOLOGIZE

New to the franchise, I want to try a Total War Warhammer game, but price is an issue. Do I just buy Vanilla Warhammer 1 since it's the cheapest, or 3 since it'll most likely have fixes/refinements? How mandatory is the DLC?

>>530852429
Only buy 3 and learn to CreamAPI. You'll thank me later.

chok tok

Are you optimistic about the future of Total War: Warhammer 3?

>>530852746
now that they leaked the release of a DoW dlc with albion and halflings yes

*clicks on you*

>>530852746
amazons, albion and hobbits will fix the game

>>530853015
You are a degenerate!

>>530853015

>>530852910
>>530853103
That doesn't sound particularly plausible. I would temper your expectations.

Histfags, you should just unironically make your own sequels at this point. Even if CA made M3 ir Empire 2 it would have half of the features or yesteryear. Not to mention the inevitable Richard the Lionheart bowing to the advice of his strong unfaithful kween or Frederick the Great having anal sex with his African pages BBC
Empire 2 is basically being made right now for Shogun 2. Go help with that, so maybe we can play it within the next 5 years.

France had 1 settlement.

bros the ugly bastard is taunting me

Which Helves LL do you reckon will get a rework as part of ToT?

>>530854278
Hang on a minute I thought that for years people said that the Shogun 2 map couldn't be physically changed?

>>530855147
>LL specific reworks
Cute you think CA has gas in the tank for that for a race that isn’t empire

>>530855507
I mean, Dawnless Days chabged the map for Attila long ago

>>530855582
Wulfrik and Thorgg are confirmed to be getting small reworks.

>>530855147
If High Elves do get any faction-specific reworks then I would imagine Tyrion and Teclis get something. They are both quite important to the lore and you could easily make mechanics for each of them if you wanted to.

40k waiting room

Franz or Elspeth, which is more fun?

>>530855958
Bad news: You are going to be waiting months.
Good news: The wait will be far smaller than what Thanquol Anon had to endure.

>>530855147
>not a single lord buffs phoenix guard
Since caradryan is never coming, I wish aislinn buffs them at the very least

>>530855292
underage

>>530856254
Tyrion will probably get a skill rework and I suppose that he is the most associated with Phoenix Guard.

>>530856612
That is my hope

>>530856179
It's basically the same campaign only Franz is more melee oriented and Elspeth more ranged oriented.

If you prefer campaign efficiency and overall empire building, Franz. If you prefer achieving maximum dakka and furiously masturbating to the result, Elspeth.

>>530856612
Aislinn should get the lothern sea guard buffs and tyrion should be campaign and phoenix guard buffs

ugly bastard bros not like this

>>530857130
Dongbros... we've ntrd our last couple...

>rats get a giant rat that spawns more rats
>lizards don't get a giant lizard that holds more lizards

will aislinn be a horde faction

>>530857670
Will be posted near Cathay/Ind

>>530857130
I can see his rivals but where are Dong Zhuo's friends?

>>530857130
It's very weird to me that the execute/ransom/release lines are in Warhammer but only partially. Sometimes settlements, armies, or even your own lord will comment on the actions as you hover over them like in Med2/3K but then sometimes it doesn't happen. Maybe I have a mod interfering with it or a mod adding it altogether. But I do wish you heard factions like Skaven begging for their lives, Elves insisting you'll pay for this, or men insisting it's a wise choice of action to ransom them more often

>>530857730
Please take this back

>>530855582
Greasus and Skragg got rework with OoD.

>>530857670
There is a vacant spot in the eastern colonies/isles that is a high elf NPC faction, I suspect he will go there

>>530857731
Well when you're the biggest Dong friend is just a polite term for temporarily quelled rival.

Addendum: I wanted to attach an image of Li Ru from Koei's series since he looks even more evil than the 3K by CA version, but this was in the image search. I don't know what the fuck is has to do with Li Ru

>>530856254
> caradryan is never coming
LH material.
So maybe with ToT.

>>530854278
Here'e the thing anon, as a war game 3K is superior to Shogun 2 in almost every way except for non existent navy. 3K also allow you to do silly diplo stuff thanks to heros/relationship system.
As it stand I would rather see Shogun 2 ported to 3K with models from Koei games than Empire to Shogun 2.
>>530857385
>lizards don't get a giant lizard that holds more lizards
Dread Saurian have entire wagon of skinks on it.

>>530858264
Eh, could be? People would bitch about it

>>530858091
High Elves need a farther start position than Imrik

It's going to be an extremely boring position though

>dood fight more Dark Elves
>dood fight Kugath
>dood sail to the southern desert
>dood fight more Ogres
>dood fight Chyna

What will be the individual lord DLC after Neferata?

>>530858371
It needs to be near to a body of water, otherwise he loses his theme (fucking sealord)
This cuts a lot of locations down.
I think he will have a base of operation in the eastern colonies, but will start in cathay, kinda like imrik.

>>530858450

>>530857130
>ugly
Watch your tongue you peasant.

>>530857730
Perfect position to job to Lokhir. I think losing to him should be his quest battle.

Just saying, Welves only have 5 LL's and we're still missing Daith and the Queen

>>530852569
I've never actually used it, my Steam account is like 20 years old and I'm unsure of the risk.

>>530858651
They can't make us pay for him... surely, CA wouldn't go that far.

>>530858947
lol

This final High Elf DLC should have a mechanic where they reclaim the Phoenix Crown including an endgame scenario that restarts the War of the Beard.

>>530858651
I wonder what happened to him? Because he got a model and was announced a decade ago yet CA just forgot about it

>>530858947
>Welves
Only people that play them are mpfags and even then they are one of the least played factions.

Just give me the slaanesh LL’s, van horstmann, thanquol (more for the units) and a daniel rework and then abandon the game and my ass will be satisfied. I don’t need literal who elector counts

>>530859182
Their armies are really fun to play but sitting on trees is ass compared to map painting

>>530859167
They would get bodied if they tried to start shit with the dawi. Helves only exist by the grace of the Empire. Without them they are dead and done.

Just give us Glottkin, Eternity King Malekith and Boris Todbringer. That will satisfy 99% of /twg/.

What things will we never see
>we plan on endgame crisises for all races
>we plan to rework to main chaos invasion endgame crisis
That shit is so dead, damn shame.
The end time dlc maybe gives a narrative/egc for chaos. Hope you weren’t expecting an ordertide egc or something

>>530859376
>Boris Todbringer
loooooooool it's Valten or BUST.

>>530859359
Only a manlet would think this

>>530858974
As long as you don't do something stupid like play a faction in MP without it's DLC you shouldn't have a problem. I have 232 hours in WH3 and 230 of them are with CreamAPI.

>>530859431
Mods will fix it

>>530859519
If they charge for Boris, people will chimp out.
They need another paid LL for empire and valten is the best candidate.

>>530858330
I think the logic if such a term is applicable to a shitpost is that Empire to FotS is a bigger upgrade than Shogun to 3K, and Empire is in more dire a need for an upgrade than Shogun to boot. Most Empire mods barely work nowadays on-top of being unable to stop the innate problems of the engine and general failures of game design that plague Empire. I genuinely do not in any way understand the wish for an Empire 2 after CA has shown that they cannot make gunpowder reliably interesting, nor empire/populace management, nor naval combat. Sure they can hit one of them pretty well sometimes, but they can't nail all 3, and each is a staple of the colonial era. Empire 2 would be a repeat of the launch of Empire I assume most are too young to remember, shit was a GFWL title by choice

>>530859525
Only a lorelet would think otherwise. The only reason HE helped the Empire is because they made them promise to attack all Norscan ships heading to Ulthuan. Because Ulthuan was drowning in chaos raids 24/7 at the time. Because most of their real fleet has been hunted down to extinction by black arks.

>>530858974
Just dont play MP and you will be caught.
Everyone that plays paradox games uses creamapi because they are not retarded

i genuinely do not get this color autism in 3k and don't like this whole three generals per army thing, can anyone explain how to make good armies in this game?

>>530857670
>>530857730
>>530858140
I would like him to take Teclis position in the Southland (while giving his faction an easy way to move around).
Having him in Teclis spot will also be coherent with the old Prince Aravael leak.
Then they can move Teclis to a more fun place

>>530859857
never*

You might not be able to dominate the entire world from the rivers of Cathay to the forges of Nuln... but Tamurkhan.

>>530859984
Please no, someone has to stay in that shitty spot and it better be the free lord

>>530859431
I don't like lategame threats as a concept in most strategy games, there's too little room for interesting play or reasonable strategy when the only viable way to make it a true invasion is a sudden spawn of 13 Hun stacks/Extragalactic invaders/Aztec navies/Mongol hordes. I'd prefer some sort of midgame shakeup or infrequent threats that alter the pieces in motion rather than just attempt to kick the sandcastle down at its peak

>>530859857
huh? so they do or do not play paradox games?

>>530855147
Tyrion and Teclis for sure, reckon they'll expand a bit on Alarielle's mechanic too. Hope they remove the fucking blood voyages at least.

>>530859901
Get three different colored generals for every one of your armies. That's the extent of the system.

>>530860256
what is the point of all the unit colors then?

>>530860356
Callback to chinese war "tactics"

>>530859984
>>530860194
What was going on inside CA's head when they created this corner of the map
>hey lets put teclis here!
>but lets not give him chaos wastes compatibility and no immunity to attrition either!
>also, lets give him a fuckload of lizards to fight against!
What a god forsaken start position

>>530860534
Teclis is canonically unable to physically stand the chaos wastes. He's just too weak in body for that.

>>530853015
*routs*

>>530860668
Which makes his start position even more hilarious

>>530860534
Not much aside from "We gotta get him out of Lustria"
Still think he should be a horde faction of sorts, let him travel the world instead of empire build.

>>530860705
If you wanted lore accurate Teclis he would start in Ulthuan. But that would be the shittiest possible start and would put him at war with Alarielle faster than with N'kari.

>>530855147
Teclis, people have been complaining Gelt/Elspeth/Katarin are better casters than him and Mazdamundi for a while now so I figure at minimum they'll get some way to boost spell intensity, and possibly something like Kairos got that lets them pick their spell list.

spearmanii>bowmanii>swordmanii>>>>>axemanii

>>530860940
Are they though? Sure faction wise they get a lot more magic umpf, Gelt in particular. But Teclis still feels like a massive powerhouse of a caster, perhaps not with the best spell selection but I feel he's still a one man apocalypse.

>playing anything west of Bretonnia/Badlands in Immortal Empires

>>530860412
you lied to me anon, a loading screen quote said advanced units can only be recruited if they match a general's color...

>>530861718
That's why I told you to put three different colors?

>>530861852
well yeah but there's more than three colors, how do i know what color has the better units vs some other color?

>>530859901
Fire and water and other opposites do not mix, creating negative qi that is bad for harmony. The feng shui or positive qi flow of any unit of matter from room to building to army enhances its parts, but bad feng shui creates negative qi and disharmony. However, some elements beget other elements, and turn the celestial elements properly.
>But how does this affect 3K?
Well we simply apply absolutely nothing of what I said about feng shui and qi to the game. Blue is archer/ranged, Red is cavalry/shock troops, Yellow is tactician/support/peasant(Yellow Turbans), Green is spear., Purple is mostly tanking and kind of weird. Generals with those colors buff those troops and serve that role.

Warmblood, the Great Plan demands you ejaculate into my mouth~

>>530861948
You want red, blue and green.

>>530862314

>>530862727
Well yeah? Being a vampire isn't a positive thing. The fact she was left alive was always a heavy case of mary sue.

>>530862204
>>530862512
alright, thanks, based on that first anon's post that means buffing general cav/archers/spearmen which makes sense. apparently my western gweilo brain can't handle glorious chinese color strategy

>>530860194
I mean he can totally have sorta a dual start position, elven colonies in his rule + his army in the Churning Gulf (like Elhtation or Malus)
>>530860534
Aislinn is a seasoned raider of Norsca, so they could even use it as an excuse to give him immunity to Chaos Waste (or a unlockable skill to it)

>>530855147
I really hope they do something about Alith's Hunts and his Shadow Hand hero.

>>530863312
This is the single dumbest thing I've ever seen in fantasy

>>530863043
Yeah, it's very simple and it's not produced any negative effects I've noticed despite the labeling of opposite elements. Really the biggest thing is most buffs only apply to their retinue and most advanced troops of a certain color are recruited by the matching element general. The "opposites" of the compass only really interacts in that characters of opposites(red and blue, for instance) will have traits that impact their satisfaction when in an army with a general of an opposite trait. It's virtually nonexistent as a penalty

>>530862615

>>530853015
THE MERCILESS HOST!!

>>530859901
Off the top of my head: the color defines which advanced units he can recruit and/or buff. Green general is spears, red is shock cavalry, blue is ranged, purple is swords, yellow is shield cavalry. Shield cavalry is basically just red cavalry that has shields but deals shit damage and you almost never want to recruit them. Blue and green are a must since artillery is super strong and without spears your flanks get devastated in microseconds. As for lords themselves: purple is by far best duellist after the talent that increases his damage the longer he duels. Green is defensive but often 2nd best. Red is 3rd best but legendary red lords like Lu Bu can decimate pretty much anything except high level purple lords. Never duel with yellow or blue lords, they are buffer lords with shit melee stats.

A good cookie cutter build is to have blue lord (2 artillery + 4 ranged), green (4 spears + 2 cav) and purple (6 swords). You can make some substitutions, but you really need spearmen because enemy cav is devastating, and artillery because its so strong. Green lord is alright duelist but will almost always lose to purple lords so purple lord is also almost a must, but can also be substituted for red lord (4 cav + 2 melee) if you are okay with never dueling purple lords and want focus on instantly collapsing enemy backline with cavalry.

>>530864728
??

>>530864575
i'm not playing on the romance mode so all my generals are just normal cav generals. most people i saw claimed it's a shit mode compared to the warhammer esque one but in historical games like this i don't like super powered generals and with three on each side in most battles that's more than i can handle when compared to warhammer where at most i usually do the normal ll + mage or buffer hero

>>530864575
For me it's purple (2 zhanmajian, 4 archers), red (all shock cav) and green (all spears) and another blue+red following them with siege engines

>>530864876
nta but you realize it's a chariot? It's identical in all stats to the scourgerunner except it flies. It's gonna have to descend to do contact attacks after it uses up it's 12 ammo. That shit is the dumbest thing you could possibly create for TW. It will land straight into a group of units instead of plowing through them because that's how flying works in TW. I will be here to laugh at you when they actually add it and it's beyond shit and goofy as fuck like everyone told you.

it would be completely broken if it worked that way but I was really disappointed when I found out that flying shit can't do swooping charges. seeing an arcane phoenix waddle around like a chicken because it's stuck on the ground and can't take off again is so fucking goofy.

Immunity to Chaos Wastes attrition should be on every tech tree near the end
>inb4 muh lore
I dont care, if my enemies are coming from that general area and my objective is to wipe them out (which it is because its a fucking Total War game) then I should eventually be immune to Chaos attrition, especially if the corruption is gone

Is there any way to execute your own agents/commanders/family in 3K

>>530866673
>I should just be immune to chaos
Wrong setting retard. Chaos wastes is a place where time starts to flow backwards. It's not a place for unmarked mortals.

>>530866785
If you click on each one there's a "fuck off and find some other faction" button. If you particularly hate them you can exile them and get some money for it although it'll piss off your other commanders.

(t. Hawk and War Lion Chariot enjoyer).

>>530865697
The kroot in the image is a w*man lel

>>530866529
Furthermore, flying units routinely overshoot their enemies when charging. A flying chariots would function just like Burning Chariot currently, ie hit maybe the two models farthest back in the model if even that. Completely worthless.

>>530864728
Thanquol.

>>530867625
I don't think you can outright execute people unless you capture them after battle. Chink autism mayhaps.

>>530868039
For a supposed hawk enjoyer you seem to not know much about how a flying unit charge works. If you did you would know why it's shit for a fragile chariot.

>>530867949
>shouldnt even be able to have settlements there
There are plenty of settlements in the chaos wastes retard. They are safe only for chaos worshipers.
>shouldnt even be able to set foot on there in the first place without being blown the fuck up by Chaos
Dawi gods perished there, so your t1 shitmanii would die even faster. A non elven/slann mage just explodes in the chaos wastes.

>>530869137
Based schizoposting

>>530869862
It looks really pretty and contains tons of lost tech. Deeper diplomacy, spies, fire setting forests aflame, artillery can be placed on walls, there´s banner-bearers, cavalry feels and performs much better (and can dismount), there´s pre-battle fortifications like stakes and caltrops and much more. It does have its shortcomings too, but if you like Total War games its a very good and different experience compared to Warhammer.

>>530869862
It's a good game but it filters a lot of people because it's far more mechanically complex than Warhammer.

>>530869862
The only real market for it was China and CA made Chinese players angry by making unpopular DLC.

We will have a Marius Leitdorf DLC pack for the Empire (with Wizard Lord + 1 Halfing warriors unit) before the release of DoW FreeLC

I was thinking I didn't know tides of torment was a thing, but then I vaguely remember possible watching it while drunk a month ago? Maybe?

your lord is a cuck who can't even cast spells

>>530869862
hated is overblown but it is quite literally just chinkmanii vs chinkmanii which already turns off most non-chinese players, and even people interested in china might prefer a game involving them and other factions for them to fight against

weak bait from a weak player

>>530869862
No it was hated because of CA incompetence handling the DLCs
The game is probably one of the best TW mechanically speaking

Other than wanting to declare war on someone at any time and a trade agreement being a 'treaty to lower your trustworthiness', is there any negative to having more trade agreements?

I BRING NEWS!
DLC got delayed even more!

>why wouldn't you want to be a vampire
Depending on setting, you can forfeit your immortal soul. Which may seem like a silly concern to those only concerned with the flesh, but it is a matter more important than anything you will ever hear from me.

>>530877224
Do you not want your soul delivered unto Morr's Garden? A reward more valuable than even gold! The fate of your soul is an eternal concern.

>>530877346
Well in that movie in particular the deal is that vampires are what happens when a particular type of spirit arrives from the afterlife and possesses a person. They get the whole vampire kit of cons and pros, and also a sort of hivemind deal with the alpha vampire that one other character insists means they're no longer themselves.

But then there's a scene at the end of the movie that proves the suriviving vampires actually retain all their memories, honor promises made after vampirization to their loved ones, and even respect the will of others on not being vampirized once the euphoria and hunger of being converted passed. It threw me for a loop and left me wondering, well why the fuck not then? They're fucking eternally young now.

Anyway, TOTAL WAR, NEFERATA WHEN COME ON CA RELEASE SOME FACKING DLCS.

Have I finally lost it or was there once a way in Warhammer to see to see what a faction considered its primary threat or like most pressing threat? I could have swore in the diplo screen you had that option and could use it to see who was gearing up for war with you. Maybe it's a totally different game and I've lost it

Conan Total War when? I'd be a Hyrkania main.

>Realize I haven't really played any of the lords in the newer dlcs (Shadows of Change and Thrones of Decay)
>Play a few of them
>They are busted as fuck in different ways
So did CA just decide that a lord being "fun" and "good" is to give them mechanics that make their campaigns as easy as OC mod factions?

>>530879114
Strength Rating?

>>530878968
That movie was just poorly written bro, I nearly laughed out loud when the Irish main villain said that Christianity was "forced" on the Irish as if somehow trying to associate that with British colonialism. Absolute brainlet tier, no research done whatsoever.

>>530879114
It's there. It's next to the porthole. It's useless, though, outside of some headcanon or so if you want to conjure up.

>>530879147
I love Sword and Sorcery shit.
A mod that lets you fight in the war between the Hylian and Ganon-aligned forces to either seal the Holy Land or to break the barrier between worlds would be based.

Would thorek be against goblin hewers?

>>530879221
>I nearly laughed out loud when the Irish main villain said that Christianity was "forced" on the Irish as if somehow trying to associate that with British colonialism.
I don't actually recall that in the slightest. I mean that's definitely one hell of a take, but I don't remember irish guy actually talking about being irish at any moment, and since I watched it in my native language (which is not english) it didn't even dawn on me he was irish until all the vampires started dancing.

>>530879421
He mentions it after reciting the beginning of the Lord's Prayer.

>>530879204
No, it's as >>530879245 said. I can only see it on a single faction though for some reason. Thought I was losing my marbles

>>530879420
Ron ricky you wazzock.

>>530878930
wait i got fucking scammed

I'm gonna try minor faction potential thing with an Archeon campaign.

>>530879740
Shave your head, ufdi

Do large units take a penalty to melee defense or do they take more attacks since more models can crowd around? I know they're easier targets for missiles but I don't know how the mechanics work for melee.

>>530859167
Helves and Bretonnia vs Dwarves and Empire would be a cool endgame event (if the elf side didn't job horribly to Morathi, N'kari, and Ikit Claw)

>>530881249
melee defence is reduced when being attacked from the side or rear

big monsters are easily surrounded so most attacks count as flanked attacks and ignore most melee defence

there's a trait that makes it so you can't get flanked and it's pretty great for the units that have it

>>530881249
their hitbox is larger, so more units can hit them at once. same logic as missiles although less noticeable since it only matters on the ground level for melee
also, there is a penalty to being attacked from the rear in general (I think it's -md and leadership but I don't remember), so if there's more units surrounding them there is more hitting them from the rear too

>>530881708
But if they're fighting one on one (rare, sure, but then it's probably rare I'm letting them get mobbed without the guys attacking them getting attacked in flank/rear as well), they don't use a lower calculation for chance to be hit than a regular sized unit, right?

>>530881921
no, a 1 on 1 fight goes by regular ma/md values
anti large makes units have a higher chance to hit and do more damage to them
also forests apply a debuff to speed and melee attack and charge bonus to your large units

Why does Ikit Claw say cocks in motion when you move him across the campaign map?

>>530885670

>>530884845
I just killed Arbaal and his demon friends with Isabella around turn 30, 2k dmg can't hurt you when the enemy have 6 MA due to debuff rotation from 6 casters.
Anyway why these niggers are allowed to have that much dmg, 800 is already plenty but one of these demon niggers had 2.2k what the actual fuck.

AAAAAHHHHH SAVE ME SOTEK

I am sick of having to feel like I need explosive expansion when playing this game

>>530887000
snib snab'd

>>530886920
I mean, they are demonic manifestations of a god known, among other things, for melee combat.

>>530886537
Irish had Christian communities before most of the Germanics converted and before the Angles and Saxons had even arrived on the shores of Britain (aka in late antiquity, well BEFORE the middle ages even started) and their conversion was by and large peaceful just like the early Germanic tribes who converted (Goths, Vandals, etc) so trying to force it as some equivalence to Africans, Native Americans and such being forcibly converted is bizarre. If you need a European ethnicity that was infamously and brutally forcibly converted for your movie the Lithuanians are right there.

>>530887576
But who knows where the fuck Lithuania is or what they did?
I mean apart from everyone in this general that played Med2 and remembers the Teuton campaign.

>>530886903
what is he laughing about?

>>530887576
How the fuck missionaries arrived in ireland though?

>>530887961
Because Rome controlled what is now Britain? The Romans had been writing about the Irish Celtic tribes before the Romans themselves converted to Christianity.

>>530887961
It's called a boat.

>>530888258
What the fuck is a "boat"?

You guys made sure to recruit Ogres Mercs, right? Sniped a lord as he left the battlefield.

>>530890686
I don't ever recruit them. And I seldom use allied recruitment too. Part due to the redline, but mostly because I forget to. It is nice seeing randoms recruiting my mercs when I play Ogres, though. The money I hardly care for, it's just a nice detail/mechanic, and seeing Ogres here and there in AI armies.

>>530890686
The only time I wanted to recruit some shit that is not my race was when I was playing lizards and I had the chance to recruit wood elves

Should've stopped reading there. Never a good post has that.

Recommend me some mods for total warhammer 3.
I'm currently thinking about using the "make all beastman into beastwomen", but I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

>>530890686
>>530890941
depends on the faction, but more often than not I will recruit ogres in the early game any time I can just to pad out my armies, and I will keep them around for fresh armies later on just in case
as for allied recruitment, or ogres in the late game, it depends if they fill some kind of weakness, or if my army is strong enough already and it just seems fun to use

>>530892236

hi Clio

Holy shit I bought champions of chaos and warriors of chaos and I thought they were just a horde faction you build up like they were in 1
Dark fortresses sound like an awesome mechanic, I'm extremely hype

>>530895601
Then you realise horde WoC is best afterall.

am i crazy or did there not used to be an option to attack an enemy army as soon as they besiege your settlement so your recruitment doesnt get delayed a turn?

>>530895601
people in this general will shit on WoC for being strong but they are objectively one of the most fun races in the game after their rework

will legend accept enticity's disaster battle or will he dodge like a bitch?

>>530896356
"People" in this general for being: strong; weak; old; new; simple; complex/bloated; forgotten (npc faction); hand-held etc. Is of no consequence.

>>530896356
I haven't played them yet
Which one should be my first campaign?

>>530896645
if you have a favourite chaos god and don't want to use any other god's units, play one of the champions for that god
if you want to play undivided and want to be able to use all the god's units, play archaon because he can get so many souls and is just strong in general
they are all good though

I don't understand how the miniature dlcs are suppose to work. So is Neferata getting a legendary hero with her and 5 units plus a generic lord and hero? Or is just her and like 2 units?

Whatever it will end up being, you can count on CA to charge way more than they are worth.

>>530897176
I only like Tzeentch and Nurgle so I'll give those a try first

Are the hawk riders for sisters just used for deleting artillery/ranged units?
I can't really find a use them otherwise so I haven't seen the need for more than 4 in an army
Kind of insane that they give the ability to all armies

>>530900187
Presumably, it's just the current format but for one lord/faction per update
Realistically, it's a character, maybe one unit/legendary hero, and nothing else

>>530900187
Well just look at what a FLC has traditionally been, and make it cost $7.50-$10. That's what I imagine they're talking about.

>>530900187
We dicsussed this exact thing a few threads baack.

Hmmm seems to me like Nagash would be a better candidate than Neferta for a solo LL dlc. Unless Neffy gets to unlock Nagash like Lizardmen get with lord Kroak

>>530903619
nagash/thanquol all the other super popular characters will be the final dlc I bet

>>530903619
Nagash would be End Times dlc along with Valten, Crom, Caradryan, Tullaris, Araloth, and Thanquol.

that is the equivalent of asking who tyrion, malekith, araloth, nagash, or karl franz is

>>530907463
It'll be interesting to see what Dechala actually bring to the table(top) vs. N'kari as a LL. It's pretty hard to beat N'kari as a whirlwind of death, so the only niche I can think she'd have to top him in is not soaking up arrows and dying the second you forget to micro

>>530907891
>araloth
Who?

>>530907919
asuryan

>>530902158
You can use them like furies, you never want them fighting something alone but they have decent offence. Charge them in the back of your enemy when they're busy fighting something else and they're pretty good.

>>530907808
>>530907919
On the offhand you aren't trolling. Vardek Crom is the leader of the Kurgans and the second in command of Archaon that leads half the army when they split their forces.
https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Vardek_Crom

Araloth is the Tyrion/Malekith of Wood Elves being their main character. He is the avatar of Asuryan. He is married to The Lady of Bretonnia and has children with her and survives the end Times by becoming the new god of Bretonnia.

>>530908551
sir this is /twg/. /tg/ is in the gender neutral bathroom.

>>530908551
His model isn't forever ago. It is Storms of Chaos which is the 6th edition End Times timeline where order wins and Grimgor kills Archaon in one on one combat. His model is reused in End Times 8th edition just like Valten and Styrkaar.

Crom managed to beat Grimgor, so it made him the strongest character ever.

can you play as the good guy (Guillaume le Conquérant) and oust the half-danish heathen and usurper Harold?

>>530915435
who even cares about the viking invasion of bongistan enough to play a game revolving around it? literally the only bongoloia only game that anyone would be interested in playing would be about arthur fighting off the saxon invasion. they could even do the history/romance thing that they seem to be fixated on now.

>>530915586
I liked it. Yes, you can play as William.
Only problem is with Harald Hardrada, there's a good chance that if you play as him one or both of the other claimants suicide themselves before you get to them.
But then thats an issue with many total wars: sometimes the intended experience doesnt happen.
But playing as William or Edward worked just fine for me

>Treekin stack
>with the guy that buffs them like crazy
Gee, I wonder why

Speaking of stacks, were/are there any you even remotely enjoy? Only one I remember doing was Necrofex with Noctilus back in TW2. Was amusing for a short while, but I've never been one to stack at all. I typically limit myself massively like 1-2 max per unit per army (or maybe give an exception for chaff/trash units early game). Never duplicate heroes.

>>530913941
No, you want at least couple Treemen mixed in there since Kin arent armor piercing. They really REALLY struggle against armored ap targets.

>>530855147
Considering how much they're focusing on Nosca and Slaanesh, saying the delay is making sure they're of acceptable quality, and how non chalant they just dropped the HEs news in the blog, I'd be surprised if any of the HE lords gets touched on.

>>530855147
None. Norsca is the faction rework and lord rework race of this DLC

>>530916202
No.
I use mods to cap units for both myself and the AI

i found norsca to among the worst in terms of first 20 turn RNG, if you can leapfrog between norscan capitals and confed for free without taking many losses and then get to the side of norsca where you will be declared war upon you can make it work

they need an economic boost so you can support 2 armies quicker

>>530917031
I did a migration campaign with Malus and ironically ended up back at his original start position after wiping out Kugath.

>Skrag flips up meat to throw into his cauldron with the help of his Gnoblars
Okay, Skrag has character I didn't realise.

>>530917576
The real problem is the fundamental worthlessness of their early roster. It harshly disincentivises building your second army until you confederate Throgg and can kit him up with an all-monster army, and you're not going to redo Wulfrik's army until you have access to Marauder Champions. Why the fuck would I spend 6,000 early gold building a second crapstack of Marauder Spears and Berserkers when I know that I'm going to have to fight Warriors of Khorne and Dwarfs? I'd rather spend that on growth, ports, capitals, and military buildings so I can get to T3 infantry and replace my entire roster. And then when you replace your entire roster, be sure to do it 4 units at a time so the AI doesn't see your strength number go down and suddenly decide it's time to DoW you because "PLAYER DETECTED" and "I THINK I STRONGER"

I played Vampire Coast a couple of days ago and really like how Handgunners are useful all campaign. You're not getting a complete roster replacement when you hit T3 units like you are with so many other factions.

why does everyone fucking hate nakai? dong zhuo is fucking beelining through neutral territory to kill me along with the fucking ninja rat that i dont even border

The tzeench shields are stupid. What were they thinking, they just wanted to make the most annoying possible early game faction?

AI just cannot use certain units at all, Outriders can do so much damage but they're too busy disengaging to shoot because god forbid a skink gets near them
We really need a battle AI mod so difficulty doesn't have to come from just throwing more stacks at the player

>>530923395
Yeah the AI in manuals still does some woefully bad moves at times. At first they had a decent formation, but the more I would circle and reposition my units (I was fairly spread out and would slowly but surely close in) the AI just kept reforming repeatedly until it got to a point where nearly every unit was in a huge overlapping blob, so of course then I rush in and they're mince MEAT.

wtf TKs cant confed each other even if you play as Settra?!

the 3 chorfs are all p good, but i think i like astragoth the most just by design, otherwise zhatan is my next guy since i like artillery. k'daai are cool ig

>>530923824
Every TK was, during their lifetime, the only and undisputed king of Nehekara. So none of them are just going to submit, even to Settra.

>>530923395
>>530923785
My favorite is probably stalking units. They could cause so much damage by flanking in the same manner as cavalry, but instead they just march together with the rest of their army

>>530923395
cant outriders shoot while moving does that even matter?

>>530924382
They can't. Ai outriders are pretty much perma skirmish mode, if you want them to stop shooting just move anything towards them.

>>530924382
They can only shoot forwards, but as a type of mobile handgunner they're devastating
Once your flanks are clear and you can ride them behind their volleys just shred things instead of having to peek around your own units like handgunners do

Yeah that's why I'm confused

>>530927423
If it doen't list units it's all units.

>>530927491
Correct. Same with the WoC undivided offering. It's global missile resistance.

Are we still pivoting?

>>530928767

>>530899546
that's why they're the best. free will was a mistake

>>530931131
I wouldn't be surprised if the DLC was originally meant to be Norsca vs Slaanesh vs Counts (Neferata), but CA saw how everyone including CA creators think it's High Elves and they decided to change it to instead release Neferata + her shit in a later single lord DLC. It's smart because a DLC needs some good guys as they sell better and I think 3x bad guys like OOD is fucking retarded, even if Golgfag and Neferata are less on the evil scale than the others.

>>530932080

>>530932038

>>530932281
The Cultist of Khorne provides campaign replenishment if that is what you are after.

>>530932423
Almost certainly yes. Nobody wants to pay for a weak Legendary Lord.

>>530931526
Isn't that place literally a spot AI pretty much never go to? He'd be basically unassailable.

Slaanesh "grotesque beauty", why not just make it hot?

Change of plans? Pivots? I think CA is just lazy and incompetent.

>>530932281
You charge in and melee. Early game you'll lose units but Bloodletters and Khorne marauders are easily replaceable. You make yourself stronger by creating blood host armies to support you. Have them joim your main army or send them to soften up the enemy. You can't replenish them so they will eventually die but you can always create more and more when you have enough skulls or the right passives.
Late game though if you have an army that is full of Chosen and Wrathmongers you won't even need Blood Hosts to wipe out enemy armies.

>>530932734
Yes, Arbaal is my favourite Khorne Lord. How can you tell?

Why is there no horse archer not-hun race in WH?

>>530932634
He would be another Nakai.

>>530933027
There is. Tamurkhan is their representative.

>>530931454
Arbaal's starting location literally doesn't matter since he can teleport and can basically establish a home base anywhere.

A shame the end-result screen doesn't show the other armies involved.

>>530933027
Because the Hobgoblins are part of the Chaos Dwarf roster.

>>530933181
It matters for the people around him. Katarin doesn't see Archaon as much because Arbaal is in the way.

>>530931454
India and SEA expansion when?

>>530933194
A solid victory by the looks of it.
I strongly recommend getting the Gorger technologies if you haven't already. They become amazing damage dealers with a bit of sustainability.

>>530932642
Because this is a franchise for children

the fort maps are so fun
it's extremely satisfying that, at the end, the enemy is unable to flee out of their own gates
lining up your archers behind the shattered enemy troops as they desperately claw at a chance of survival is bueno

>>530933378
Yeah, focusing on non-Ogres this time. Only allowing myself a few (max of 1 of a few types) Ogres in Skrag's army. If/when I replay him, I might try a non-Ogre run and go full monster.

Watch them add Egrimm Van Horsmann as a solo DLC Lord after Neferata's release, instead of an FLC for Tzeentch.

>>530933194
Your Skrag looks like a nurgle wizard from Vermintide
>>530933517
Is that the mod that gives you forst map if enemy attacks you while you are in encampement stance?

>>530933652
I do fear that these little DLCs will kill off FLC lords.
However, CA did mention that we would be getting some free content towards the end of the year.

>>530930614
Boiler beer, served hot.
A delicacy in Stirland (and some parts of germany I think?)

Kinda funny how Khorne has the most LHs at 3, then Tzeentch at 2, Slaanesh will also probably get a couple and Nurgle has 1, who can only be recruited by Tamurkhan, the other Lords have to confed him in other to get the LH.

>>530933681
i haven't had that happen to me or read that it was a part of this mod, no

>>530933872
And no, I'm not counting Tamurkhan's other heroes, they're just generic heroes from other races.

>>530933681
Leech? Yeah, cool concept, and I really like that reskin for Skrag. One of the best reskins I've seen in all of TW for a single character.

>>530933596
Full monster ogre armies are perfectly viable and just as fun. I always field at least one no matter who I play.

>>530933872
Empire has more.

>>530923972
I've been playing Drazhoath but I feel like I fucked up because I got to where regular dwarfs are declaring on me and I haven't gotten enough armaments to make anti-armor units.

The last Legendary Lord you played as invites you to the beach.
How does it go?

>>530932114

It obviously depends on the mods. Like yeah if you use mods that switches things up a bit like change locations and even experimental stuff like new factions then no one should ideally sperg. If it's something silly like a mod that gives you items that literally makes you more powerful than if you were wielding the SoK with none of the drawback or units that literally can't die then....why?

Earlygame empire is one of the most fun factions to fight as Chorfs imo. Swordmen beat Hobgoblins juuust barely, but no early infantry or ranged can really hurt Chaos Dwarf Warriors so each Warrior feels important and immovable anchor in your mainline that also helps your hobgoblins eke out a win. Your archers lose to their crossbows so you need either Wolf Riders or Artillery, but latter is rare and expensively early on while former gets dumpstered even by Empire Knights, leading to a situation where you actually need to hide and ambush with your wolf riders just after Knights have passed them to engage your flanks (where you have Blunderbusses waiting for them). Theres just so much counterplay to be had and while you can brute force the engagements, employing strategy and tactics is greatly rewarded.

>>530934930
They really nailed Lore of Great Maw thematically. Its simple and brutal. Small AoE, big AoE, heals, MA buff when something really needs to die. Great fit for ogres.

>>530934253
Everyone's playing dwarfs today it seems.
Anyway,
>Snikch
I'm gonna spend the entire beach day afraid for my life because why the fuck would Snikch of all people invite me to the beach.

Urobolos you FAGGOT KEK! You are not the "spokeman" for /twg/ and we do not "own" Legend an apology! Get your ass off the fucking youtube comment section or prepare to get raped, bitch!

>>530935436
Maybe it's his day off and he wants to relax with you

>>530934253

No way that NEET would ever invite someone out to a public place.

>>530935436
Bro you're getting a ninja training montage it's gonna be sick

>>530934253
>Astragoth
Why would Astragoth invite an Umgi to the beach? I don't even know what would happen and why he'd do that

>>530936243
Maybe he wants to show you that cool canal?

>>530935551
>>530935962
Damn, turns out Snikch was a real one all along...

It'll basically be the Skaven Beverly Hills Ninja sort of thing. Sounds cool.

>>530897619
the mod that turns tomb kings into 10/10 egyptian waifus is better

I'm not expecting much in the upcoming Lizardmen and TKs update but I'm just hoping they do these at least

Lizards: Update the geomantic Web. Update Mazdamundi so his skill tree isn't complete ass

Kangs: Overhaul the research tree. In particular, either rework or just rid of entirely the need to complete a research/have enough jars just to be able to get a second army running.

lol Deepwar's mod page is just roasting the other AI mods

Redpill me on the area between the world's edge mountains and Cathay. What kind of people (as in humans) live there? Who lives in Pigbarter?

>>530934253
I don't think the graveyard rose would invite me to the beach.
Maybe to drink wine in a cemetery or something...

>>530937821
The entire faction is built around armies being made differently to just having enough income though

>>530938025
Basically another Sartosa and/or border princes area. Where anything goes, knives in the back if not careful are a common occurance and everyone is dirty.

>>530937821
>Kangz
Also hope Arkhan gets some more vampire units, maybe even a unique hero

Which Skaven clan is the most powerful?

>>530934253
>Morathi
Well at least Ill die getting laid, its been awhile since the last time, I imagine itll be like the Far Cry 3 bad ending

>>530938025
>>530938323
to add to this, the silk road that cathay uses for their caravans goes through there so there's human settlements camped around the trade route mainly

>>530932114
There's a chaos dwarf mod that adds like eight legendary lords to the Old World roster.

Pretty fun.

Grey Seers > Skryre > Eshin* > Pestilens > Moulder > Rictus > Mors

>Grey Seers are the relatively most undisputed leaders of skaven society and the ones that get to go wherever and carry out schemes on and with whoever.
>Skryre is the clan that makes the underempire function, skaven wouldn't even have ways to communicate without them.
>Eshin is, militarily, actually the weakest of the great clans. But that doesn't matter because you'll never fight them in a far fight, no skaven leader would dare go against clan Eshin because said leader would be the very first casualty.
>Pestilens has immense power and numbers, enough that they had two civil wars against the other clans and were a serious problem, but they're just a brutish mallet with no capacity for more like the other clans in this list.
>Moulder has a lot of power from having all the monsters, and a lot of influence and money because of selling them, but they're not central or absolutely essential like Skryre is.
>Rictus is the current greatest warrior clan in skavendom, also the richest clan overall.
>Mors is the upcoming warrior clan that threatens to surpass Rictus, have figured out the immense secret that baffles most other skaven that is having just enough loyalty to operate better as an organization.

Then you just get a myriad lesser clans of all types and sizes.

>>530940107
DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW!

>>530937821
I can understand them timegating the armies since they are free. Two shitstacks from turn 1 would allow you to autoresolve almost every early army and settlement. However maybe this could be fixed with total overhaul: allow 2 armies from start but let TK have only 1 local and 1-2 global recruit slots initially. Allow encamp at 0 movement and change the recruit capacity building stronger and unlock earlier. This'd mean you have full army roughly as you unite your first province, second army by ~t15 when you'd unlock it anyways and after turn 30 when your settlement is at t3 the recruitment capacity building nullifies the initial nerfs to recruitment.

Another issue is power balance when it comes to SEM tiers: you get one (1) Tomb Scorpion early, then nothing at t4, then at t5 at turn 70 you suddenly get 3 different SEMs. If you were aggressive in early game, by turn 80 you have 9 T5 SEMs. The power curve goes from wegh to Greasus in just ten turns. To match WH3 power curve, it'd feel far better if they reverted the scorpions to 2 per (capital only) building and dropped Hierotitan to t4 so you'd have a reason to use it and it'd feel powerful as your THE best unit at t4 which is the longest tier before endgame. Now you have t1-t2 chariot memes (that fill your off-stacks at t3 and 4 too), t3 brings you two alright constructs, t4 nets you Hierotitan and T5 warkitty + necrosphinx
CA hire this man!

Holy FUARK, MPiggers kneel to Legend, NOW!

>>530940672
Level of play is rather low in MP since theres like 6 players worldwide. You cant cheese in MP either which is Legends trump card you see here. I'll give props to Enticity though for imaginative tactics in MP like making 2 wide Troll column, then using Brain Burst to knock enemies out the way and bring Trolls directly to enemy backline without need to flank.

>>530940265

using knockback abilities to path units through is something the average SPchad does regularly

Oh boy, does it!
>>530940107
MP is such this weird closed loop ecosystem for total war. The actual matchmaking is a mess and pretty much nobody does pickup games.
>>530940876
Way back in warhammer 1 Legend actually did a tournament and he just kept remarking how they seemed to be dumber than the AI and fall for his traps. Of course this was a long time ago and they all swear they are better players now but it's unlikely. Especially since legend won all three of the matches I saw.

>>530941343
Yes.
T. Guy who always abought every game, expansion and DLC since Shogun 1 but after the chink/tzeentch/baba yaga bullshit DLC I have creamed and it works fine. Just need to reapply it after a major patch to re-unlock stuff.

>>530942480

meh
marvel rivals has more people in game and that game flopped

>>530942480
cs2 has more

>>530942538
>>530942639
Those games were made. for different audience.
The only game in this genre that has more players is HOI4.

>>530942435
>mpfags literally do not know enough about the game outside their shitty meta.
Not the guy you responded to. He is right though. Brain Busta is just one of dozens of spells and abilities that achieves the same result. The fact you are so amazed by what amounts to standard VC/Norsca single player gameplay circa 2015 with monsters and characters is just sad!

>>530942029
In my experience there's like ten MP autist I see in MP all the time, the rest are people obviously trying it for the first time (and never again). Out of these ten, four always try to use a cheese stack for cheap wins but fold if you put up the slightest fight. Like when Grail Knighrs were super OP, bring nothing but them and Life Damsel, but then fail to push through with them so my fucking _slaves_ bog them down while Blunderbusses shoot them to shit. Two more are patently shitters but keep trying and improving, if ever so slightly, likely high on wins against the first timer pool. The final four are actually competent and its a tossup which one of us wins.

What I'm saying it doesnt take much to shine in the scene. My shitter ass that doesnt rise above average autist who tries has almost 80% win rate.

>>530942480
The game's numbers are good and stable. I think CA's patches contribute a lot. The item rework has exceeded my expectations, it's awesome. I just hope they continue with the uniques. Some of the caravan items are now below white rarity item tier

>>530942827
So what you're saying is we need a WW2 total war?

>>530942827
If those games get more players then CA should have made a game for that audience, why didn't they make a multiplayer FPS?

>>530942880
Never said I'm amazed, just that I give props that he doesnt just mash armies together like most of MP pool. Why are you so touchy about the subject?

>>530943131
oh you are a funny guy.

>>530943079
Yeah but I would make it so you can't play as Germany to piss people off.

FIrst time playing as chaos warriors, I picked the red demon waifu.
The "Unit of Khorne" are strictly worse than regular units right? Lose melee defense for melee attack is bad from what I understand.

Playing TKs is such fucking SUFFERING fucking BATS and dogs counter your entire army that can actually do damage

Are you currently playing a campaign, if so, who?
I’m personally waiting for thesiege rework 3.0 beta, despite wanting to play. I got too much other vidya on my plate and not enough time for any of it. Also sorta disgusted at the delay news.

I AM LUTHOR HARKON

>>530944087
Just started this one.

>>530944087
watching youtube videos about Skaven trying to figure out which ll to play.

>>530943218
You must be new.
MPfags and their shitty game mode and their uppity attitudes has been a disaster for Total War as a series. CA catering to them in any way shape or form has directly led to the worst aspects of Total War and the outright removal of mechanics, gameplay and features everyone desperately tries to mod back in or laments their absence.
IF CA had never conceived the possibilty of MP then Arena would not have happened and wasted time and effort as well as their other retarded ideas. CA has stagnated technicality with Total War as a direct result of esports faggotry and it has become so bad, they are on their last legs from chasing the mp dragon instead of making continual improvements to the core of their product - SINGLE PLAYER, REAL TIME STRATEGY WITH A STRATEGIC MAP.

So the standard to response to anyone not shitting on MP is to assume you are apart of the MP circlejerk and therefore are a grade 'A' cunt and a tourist.
Get fucked.

>>530944550
based

>>530944087
I'm probably gonna do some minor chaos warrior faction, since why the hell not.

>>530943910
I think it goes something like this
>best line holder
slaanesh warriors with hellscourges
>best for fighting infantry
nurgle warriors with great weapons (khorne warriors with dual weapons if they're low tier trash)
>best for fighting cavalry
khorne warriors with halberds

>>530944667
>>530944550
imagine the hatesex
jokes aside, should I be marking everyone with the mark of khorne?
>>530944705
Are regular non-marked units best at anything?

>>530944816
>Are regular non-marked units best at anything?
I think they get some neat bonuses in the tech tree (for Archaon anyway) but IDK if that would place them above Slaanesh or Tzeentch marked units since they have no downside

>>530944087
Playing mother ostankya because i hate kislev but want the achieve so im just going to cheese hag lore, curses and thing in the woods mortis engines

>>530943910
>Lose melee defense for melee attack is bad from what I understand
Normally yes because “holding the line” > “kill things quick”. But since Khorne has no reason to hold the line, it is better to have a high melee attack

>>530943910
no, they are strictly better
they also get frenzy (more damage above 50% leadership, and they have a lot of leadership), and -4 md is nothing when their base stats are so high
plus later on through tech and skills you can buff the khorne units specifically as valkia
the only time you would ever want to use undivided over khorne is if you want a different weapon variant that khorne doesn't get (great weapons infantry or horse with javelin)

>>530943910
MA and MD are pretty much equal in value. While MD is very slightly more "powerful", higher MA means faster routs and less time being shot at, so they balance eachother out.
As for Mark of Khorne, it lowers your MD by 5 but gives you Frenzy (+10 MA, WS amd charge bonus) plus armor and magic resistance. 10 MA alone would be a good trade for 5 MD. Its definitely worth it.

>>530945136
>>530945137
>>530945209
Ah I see, thanks. Good to know it's fine to keep going all in with khorne units, just gotta remember to always be attacking instead of holding the line.
Which makes sense since I have no ranged units anyway.

>>530945501
Play Khorne like you expect Khorne to play, violence above all, fuck formations, fuck minimal casualties, just get into melee

>>530945501
you can get magic, as well as artillery through the chaos gifts, but pretty much yeah as khorne you want to be the one making the charge since they have so many bonuses to attack

Is cavalry shit? I want big meaty fantasy cavalry charges.

Someone finally made a mod that lets you teleport between settlements.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3522174856

>>530946079
Cav is good

>>530946079
Its better than WH2 for sure but still not great because cavalry just gets stuck on everything in this game
>fantasy charges
Monstrous cavalry however, is mostly good whereever you can get it

>>530946214
Yikes

>>530946214
just play elsepth/welves

>>530897259
I love Attila
Currently have a WRE campaign going (though I paused it to try out pharaoh)

>>530896565
Extremely based army but 7 pistols and no caster against rats hurts bad.

>>530943016
70% of MP depends on the unit composition, the game is basically decided at that point, unless the opponent makes stupid mistakes such as deciding to fight hexwraiths with their cav inside a forest where hexwraiths don't get forest penalty at all since they have strider.

>turn 9
fuck ai cheats and fuck ratniggers

>>530908257
>He is the avatar of Asuryan
Wait, isn’t the Phoenix king ostensibly supposed to be an avatar of Asuryan as well? Would be kind of strange for him to have two, though Isha does as well I guess (Ariel & the Everqueen)

reminder that kosfagltyn can confederate all nearby kislev factions at turn 1

>>530947370
>Infectecay the Infectious
I think this guy might be infected with something.

>>530947554
no he can't

>>530947668
shut the fuck up loser

>>530947370
thats actually pretty normal for skaven since even for the player slavestacks are cheap as hell

>>530947798
>50+ units by turn 9 is normal

>>530947963
it's possible yeah

>>530946079
i only like flying cav normal cav gets stuck on too much shit and refuses to move half the time

>>530947963
Those 50 units are almost as valuable as 10 normal units

>>530948175
its a) not possible and b) definitely not normal

>>530947963
when those units are probably the worst in the entire game yeah

>>530913941
You can

>>530916203
Durthu gives them a good chunk of armor piercing damage
They struggle against high armor single targets but durthu can kill 20 of those in a row

>>530948437
what does them being the worst units in the game have to do with anything?

Favorite starter hero?

For me, it's Petey.

>>530948591
makes them cheap and meant to be spammed which the ai does

guys guys
did you know?
SNOW WILL NEVER BE A BARRIER TO WAR

>>530947370
i see what you mean

>>530948704
why are you bringing up the player when the ai is irrelevant it gets all sorts of cheats

>>530947963
This but cavalry units with Franz when I play destruction

I consistently see rats overperform on every campaign

>>530906352
Would make a decent TW

>>530949043
i only ever see queek do something the rest usually die by turn 20 for me

holy fuck i fucking hate rat niggers

>>530949043
They have almost every unit type, mechanic, and functionality in the game. Of course they're overpowered.

>>530948921
nobody ever said the ai doesnt cheat its just that shitty slave stacks are usually the least of those concerns

>>530949043
I have never seen rats not get stomped. At best Mors takes advantage of the shitshow in the badlands and the AI ignoring him - Until he decides to fight someone that has a more powerful than him same racial faction nearby at which point he is then quarantined in the mountains.
Thort only ever does well as a sidekick of chaos or norsca who is already slamming Kislev. As soon as their ally is defeated they fold. The are a non threat in general unless the Vermintide end game spawns.

>>530947963
50 x 38 = 1900
Definitely sustainable considering the ai gets income cheats

>>530949359
Kislev's in a really bad place against rats because they have no fast anti-infantry. They don't even have a generic melee hero to beat down their hero spam. Kossars and Czar guard eat shit from rat ogres and plague monks too.

>>530947418
Nah, they get diddled by Asuryan when they do the flame thing, and then get some kind of connection or some shit. They're not avatars.

>>530949359
i love them when you have battle resources like Delf Slaves and stuff because you get a shitload from 5000 shitty skavenslaves

>>530948320
all they need for that is 2 settlements

>>530944087
>Im personally waiting for thesiege rework 3.0 beta

I dont think rework is going to do anything and sieges are just fundamentally shit in nu-Total War because of how the AI and greater campaign works. Trying to coax the AI into a decent siege battle is like getting blood from a stone

>>530944087
I'm playing The Sea People

>>530944087
just dropped a meow campaign at around turn 90ish after securing cathay and pushing into the chaos dwarf area because i got bored of fighting the never ending artillery stacks

>>530951080
>sieges are shit in nu total war
they've always been shit anon Medieval 2 sieges were fucking awful Rome even worse

>>530951080
Unless they redo all the maps with functional pathfinding and either drop or fix the buildable barriers it's gonna be yet another nothingburger.

>>530951474
Just like iRL

>>530951474
shut the fuck up retards like you are why they're so bad

>>530944087
Playing Grom with lots of cheats. Not going very well
Bretonnia is cunts with endless grail knight spam and gobbos aren't quite the Chosen that everyone says they are

>>530951558
the problem is they're shit in total war because the pathfinding sucks and in the newer entries you cant do shit like sally out with cav sieges are supposed to be shit but for different reasons

War, war never hammers

>>530951906
it only gets delayed like tides in the rain

>>530951474
They were great in Shogun and Attila

revenge on these fucking rats

it doesnt even need melee, how fucking based

hellpit is mine now ratniggers

>wait until august for reworked generic traits and greenskin traits
I could unironically do that in like 2 hours this afternoon if I so wanted. We are actually back to ‘sorry launch wh3 was super shit, heres a roadmap where a whole bullet point is giving tzeentch and slaanesh a 5% replenishment rate tech effect in 2 months’
How?

>>530953117
they're busy on 40k

>>530953910
And that's a good thing.

>>530952836
Well surely the AI runs away and doesn't just stand there taking damage?

The worst part is I know there's someone here dumb enough to disagree with this.

>>530954356
*yawn* not even consistent bait

>>530954235
you tell me

>>530954524
How much total damage?

>>530954356
Noct is a little high. He's a one man army. Nakai is waaaaaaay too high. Should be in braindead. Golden order is braindead. Baba yaga should be higher.

>>530954356
all me

>>530954615
i had 2 curses on the enemy lord and the rat ogre that did most of the damage, every 90ish seconds 3 random targets around them got rotted down for a lot

>>530948702
For me it's Mikaela and Imrik going on a date in the Dark Lands.

>>530954356
Why does everyone put festus as super easy?
Not saying he’s hard, but among the WoC he has the least nearby allies and fortresses. Belekor and archy are def easier.

>>530954356
>beastmen. Anywhere near the "put in work" category.
Uh...no.

>>530955264
This doesn't factor in autoresolve (aka the mobile game autowin button)

>>530955412
No one thinks beastmen need autoresolve to be autowin

>>530955204
Early game there is nothing stopping you from clumping up into a blob and letting Festu’s AoE effects win the battle.
>>530954356 is still retarded though
