Apologise to Legend

Yin-shit never

Yin-Yin never ever, retards.

40k waiting room

give me a faction to play. right now.

>>531070827
*Ask sorry to Legend

Wow not 5 minutes in and this thread is already irredeemable. Good job guys, you keep finding more ways to be shit.

>>531071013
Pontus

>>531071013
Suppiluliuma

>>531071013
Azhag

I hope to god the next total war campaign is actually good and not this complete accessory, trash ass shit we got nowadays whose only purpose is to be a waiting room for the next battle

SoC vs ToD vs OoD vs ToT
Which had the best race lineup?

>>531071013
Sartosa living units only

Sorry for being late, friends.
Thanquol soon, friends!

>>531071685
Tamurkhan and his chieftains is objectively the best and everyone loves empire/dwarves

>>531071826
>everyone loves empire/dwarves

>>531071780
1 year, friend.

>already beat shogun 2 on legendary with more than half the factions
>see lots of memes and discussions about uesugi being extremely hard
>finish the campaign without much trouble
>go for the hattori next because of a similar reputation
>it's actually as hard as people say
are any of the other factions on this level of cock and ball torture? because i live for this "barely surviving" type of gameplay

>>531072004
ToD sold far better than SoC or Omens

>>531071780
They'll add him with the "Future of Total War: Warhammer" update since he's the herald of the end.

Step 1: GATHER YOUR MIGHTIEST WARRIORS
Step 2: MEET ME
Step 3: DIE

lol
lmao

Who is stronger Golfag vs Tamurkhan?

>>531072514
thats so weird they just apportioned out 45 kills each to my units that just sat in a corner, bug or new feature?

>>531071826
It pisses me off that there isn't an Order-aligned version of Tamurkhan and his Chieftains. Honestly I feel like Marcus Wolfheart or Teclis should get a rework that lets them obtain heroes from different factions which come with a number of units from those factions.

>>531072004
Im gonna be honest
Empire is my safe campaign
That one I can go and I know I will have a good time
No immediate rat faggotry is always good

>>531071065

>>531071358
>>531071721
i picked Katarin because ive never played Kislev and she's kinda cute

>>531072806
would be pretty easy to reskin the mechanic for markus heros

>>531072623
Golfren because he's got lods a monee

>>531072845
Kosta is peak Kislev.

>>531073045
Its hilarious how easy it is for (Not) Rasputin to get -100% recruitment cost, allowing him to pump out units for free.

>>531073203
He's also stuck soloing Norsca, Azazel, and Moulder

>>531073045
Kostaltyn start pos is absolute ass though

>>531070918
She looks like she fucks western Emperors

>>531072712
That's how it's always worked.

>basedtek

>>531073203
he can't though

Im gonna be honest
The number one reason I want 40k is to see sotek get unemployed

If i attack Elspeth here, she will definetely cross the river to back off right? God i fucking hate this retarded shit.
(I'm playing with ironman mode on thats why i'm hesitant to attack)

>>531073540
i have never ever had units get kills when they did zero daamge

>>531073839
He will just switch to lore of 40k.

>>531073441
Exactly, peak Kislev.

If it's going to have that acronym they should have all three LLs be lolis.

Sorry my dwarf friends, Nuln has need of this manufactorum. We will be commandeering it now, for the good of the Empire.

Disband the trash skeletons and she will definitely fight you

How can Cathayan men hope to compete?

>>531073806
Yes, he absolutely can.
>10% from Relief Columns commandment
>15% from Leader of Renown blue skill
>25% from his Firebrand unique skill
>10% from his unique weapon The Burning Brazier
>30% from Farm Estate building
There was an extra 10% from something else I can't remember. I was able to spam units from free when I confederated him after I noticed the bonuses from his skill tree and his unique item.

>>531075253
this is grim.
grave, even.

>Wake up, you wee lubber. You nodded off on watch.
>What's that, Apologize? Future of total war Warhammer 3?Tides of... delay? What are you on about?

can't.

i lost the Katarin campaign...

And what did you learn?

Well time for a super autistic Empire vs the world campaign as Nuln organised into a modern army with every single unit getting its own number, name and designation based on where they were recruited.
>I.E;
Spearmen with shields = Nuln Light Auxiliary 1st Company, 1st Battalion
>Shortened to;
Nuln L Aux 1st Co 1st Bn
and so on
Nuln L Aux 2nd Co 1st Bn

>Oh, I need to recruit and replace crossbow casualties after the battle of Steingart?
3X Solland Arbalest Corp 1st, 2nd and 3rd Company 1st Battalion.

Founded a new army in Stirland?
Recruited some Halberdiers
1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Company of Heavy Auxiliary of Stirland, 1st Battalion
(Using a mod that gives me regional troops so the 'first' Stirland based army becomes the 1st battalion of Stirland instead of the 3rd one of Nuln even though I am playing as Elspeth.)

Exception are 'elite' units like Ironsides and Long Rifles that are just 1st - 20th Ironsides or 1st Recon 1st Battalion/ 3rd Recon 4th Battalion etc.

Artillery are sorted into numbered 'batteries'.
Knights remain 'Knights' until gold chevron'd then I give them a custom name based on who they fought mostly as.

As well if the 6th Halberdiers recruited in my Nuln armies is wiped out, they are not replaced. So in my first army with Elspeth she has for example the "Nuln 17th H Aux 1st Bn" because they are the 17th Halberdiers recruited within Nuln's canon territory.

So if I wish for an army to remain 'Nuln' I have to march it back to Nuln and recruit there. I also impose that all artillery of any kind can only be recruited within the territory of Nuln. I do not use global recruitment. I also have to play with an A4 notepad next to me to track everything.

I am having fun waiting for ToT though.

>>531076351
that armoured kossars cant fucking beat the stupid fucking basic bitch norsca marauders

>>531075957
You picked the one thing in the game with no lower body

>>531076546
Gotta keep them buffed with a patriarch, and go with the club version whenever you can. They can solo chaos warriors.

>>531075261
atamans give recruit cost think

Fucking relatives are here. No gaming for the next 16 hours. Tell me something interesting about Total War to pass the time.

Moonshine is such an iconic object for vampire coast. It should be buffed from 15 seconds to 30 seconds, give temporary ward save, and be promoted to blue item status. Right now it just sucks.

>>531077130
just use the choyi item rebalance or whatever

>>531072845
Katarin gives me big Saint Olga of Kiev vibes

>>531076485
I dont think the Empire companies call themselves auxiliaries. Dont they usually have cool names like Red Swords of Beschafen or The Gunbringers of Mother's Arse Petals?

Grom

>>531077105
Pontus is aactuallyan excellent faction with a very diverse roster and interesting start location surrounded by many different culture groups
CA was right to include them despite reddit and total war center seething about it for months

>>531077361
I have nothing against mods but they decimate my load times.

>>531076104
How can we get more Asians into Total War? What must CA do?

>>531074751
she's trying too hard

Reminder Kislev is a super-brutal dictatorship where the Orthodoxy conducts regular mass executions just to keep the population in a state of totalitarian obedience.

>>531077679
It doesn't add new content, just rebalances the existing items.

>>531077695
Imagine those big fake ballons popping as she reveals her dragon form (no tits) and eats you.

Races I haven't played that don't have upcoming content:
>Kislev
>Dwarfs
>Nurgle
>Coasties
>Greenskins
Which of these are fun?

>>531077468
Yeah and I said;
>Modernise the organisation of the Imperial military of the Empire
So I copied the Roman Marian system for aesthetics and tweaked it.

>>531077760
Sometimes I'm astounded by the flavor text for Kislev techs, events, units, and everything else and how much of a totalitarian shithole it actually is supposed to be.

>>531078004
You modernised it by making it ancient?

>>531077994
Only Nurgle and Dwarfs

Reminder Katarin is literally Karl Franz second wife, that's why he lands next to her in the Immortal Empires cinematic reveal trailer, to signify marriage and holding hands

>>531078116
Yes. Just like the British Army of the British Empire modelled themselves off the Roman Legions to 'modernise'.

>>531074570
This has been me for like half a year now once I got tired of playing just Empire, dwarfs, orcs and ogres.

This is going to be crazy OP on my fleet admiral

A FUTURE UPDATE JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
CA NOT SHUTTING DOWN FROM INCOMPETENCE FLEW OVER BEHIND IT IN FORMATION

>>531078306
Do NOT post smut.
"Holding ha-hands...so lewd...."

>>531078320
Well if you wanted to play bongs just play bongs in other total war games, the Empire is kraut land and they didnt care about Rome until Hitler.

>>531077994
Kislev is getting one more gunpowder themed DLC though

>>531078479
>the Empire is kraut land and they didnt care about Rome until Hitler.
...anon do the words ">Holy" ">Roman" and ">Empire" ring hollow to you?

>>531078306
I thought Katarin is married to Karl's nephew, his sister's kid.

Why do normies keep saying that helves has been confirmed?

>>531078713
Karl is his own nephew, his sister is Katarin and they had sex

>>531078792
Because it has? They literally said it at the end of their delay blog

>>531078792
Read the blog

>>531078792
Because CA literally said on the 10th this month that the third LL for ToT will be Sea Lord Aislinn, high commander of the Helf navy

>>531078689
The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire lol

>>531078792
CA mentioned HE in the last blog and they fell for the bait.

>>531078564
Sorry. Two reskins and three single entities. best we can do.

Katarin is married to me.

>>531079147
It wasn't, but saying germans didn't care about Rome until Hitler when they LITERALLY kept insisting they were the heir of Rome to justify their legitimacy is fucking retarded.

>>531079147
Nta but he means they REALLY cared about legitimacy in being seen as the successor to the Roman Empire.

>>531079253
>>531079282
Tbf, most empires clung to the idea of Rome, such was it's fame

what did they mean by this?

>>531079238
If it's T5 streltsi then I'm happy

>>531079425
A horse rapes you

>>531079370
Yeah, every empire and kingdom that reached a size worth mentioning would claim direct descendency from Rome one way or another, but that still doesn't mean the germans didn't give a shit about Rome.

>>531079501
that's hot

>>531079425
>>531079501

>>531079370
Yeah but for the HRE it was different, the basis from which they held legitimacy among the rest of Europe is because everyone (except the French) kinda agreed that they WERE Rome's successor because the Catholic Church declared it so with Charlemagne and the HRE was the successor to his Carolingian Empire.
>inb4 what about the ERE
Yeah so they never went away, and in fact at the time never referred to themselves as Byzantines but rather always addressed themselves as the Roman Empire. But a lot of Europe kinda saw them as just Greek larpers who clung to the fact that they were just a piece of the empire that managed to survive.

I wish there was some sort of adaptive bias against the same way of attacking each and every time. It's boring as hell to have the same front attacked every 3 turns by the same LL respawned instead of that faction focusing elsewhere and it takes you out of it to think of factions as just endless waves of suicide stacks

>enemy lord has 42hp left
>isn't breaking
>my hero has mortis engine effect that works in melee
>is surrounded by enemies and is meleeing them over and over
>no mortis engine effect
>42 hp lord dives in and kills my hero
>balance of power is 95-5

yep, easy rematch, thanks for wasting 15minutes of my time CA

>>531080019
They can't even be bothered having mutiple battle AI profiles for each faction.

>>531079679
>>531079765
Dragon Quest V must have had a major impact on the minds of the Japanese youth that played it.

>>531078479
I was not asking for permission nor am I enforcing you to comply with my autism. personally I think that doesn't sound anything like the British.
>Go play something if you want to be a pom
>You will play how you like to
>You will engage in tedious behaviour and book keeping because you find it fun and interesting
>You will ignore what other people think about it
>You will be happy regardless of other people not able to understand

wait...kind of does sound like the British Empire....

Post one article from the 14th, 15th, 15th, 17th, 18th or 19th century that has the people living in modern Germany referring to themselves as "Holy Romans".

>>531080517
lol. lmao
>Wait until this retard learns the Romans called themselves Latins and everyone not explicitly from the Latin tribes as mere roman subjects regardless of citizenship status. That includes 90% of the Italian peninsula were explicitly views as non romans by themselves and actual 'romans' (Latins).

>>531079445
That would be sick. We need proper line infatry. I've been dying for a human hybrid handgunner equivalent for coast too.

>>531080517
Go and find a Scotsmen and tell him he is British.

All germans used to be proud of their germanic ancestry until Hitler came along and tried to Romanise it, then the jews made it all about themselves, and thats how we have the shitshow today. Miss me with that faggot latin shit, Wir Sind Nommer Eins!

>>531081006
Scots are the reason englishmen have to call themselves british now. And yes, scots are british too.

>>531081539
Exactly, and yet I have never known a scot to call themselves British. They ALWAYS are Scottish first, second and British only in official capacity and when asking for gibs from London.

>>531081667
But there's fucking noone from the HRE that refers to themselves as Roman, and there never was. And in Total Warhammer the moment you take over all human territories as a permanent nation, it should just be called either the Reikland Empire, the Nuln Wissenland Combine or the Solland Federation.

The HRE considered itself successor to rome, it didn't consider itself its continuation, or model itself on it. A 12th century greek would have told you he's a roman. A 12th century german would have told you he's a german.

why won't ca make it so that you have to right click the ladder for units to be able to use them? would solve the problem instantly.

>>531084541
They wanted to give us something to look forward to since they don't expect the dlc to be out until like september.

>>531088820
No. You have to micro them like SCBW Dragoons because they apparently have the same pathfinding from that era of Starcraft

>>531090582
No they would have told you they're Bavarian or Swabian or Franconian in the same way most Byzantines would have associated more with certain regions. The upper ruling class would have told you they're Roman and all spoke fluent Latin. You genuinely don't seem to understand how medieval Europe operated Mr. Greekoid defender.

>>531090603
Download the shaders from Thrones of Britannia and follow a guide to replace them, the game should run fine after that

>>531090292
Wasn't it found that a lot of BLACKED posters are Chinese men?

>>531090603
Alongside what that anon said an easier way to get the game running better is to download the battle performance mod from the workshop and make sure shadows are not on the highest setting.

>>531090603
I did this and it made Attila way better

>>531091026
I stand corrected, even if theyre indian theyre still not the same as those depicted

>>531079147
oh, this meme again
I don't have any respect for people who quote that French faggot and his stupid ass meme

let's get some facts straight: Voltaire was a stupid cuck who defended autocratic regimes while getting fucked in the ass by France's autocracy
nobody took that fag seriously, even his supposedly chummy relationship with Frederick the Great soured because he saw Voltaire for the useful idiot who defended his right to autocratic rule he was, and that speaks volumes

Is Total War an RTS?

>>531091026
SEA mostly which still supports the point that it's mostly people not involved spamming blacked posts in a seething reaction to WMAF while white men and Asian women themselves are usually posting their own attractions

Call it the Eastern Roman Empire or don't bother talking about it at all.

I'd pay $30 for Medieval 2 but it had modern total war's camera and controls desu

>>531092795
Why give them a dlc exactly? Besides some updates to Teclis/Tyrion, helves are in the best position right now. There is no unit/LL they can add that would entice people to play them. If the 3rd lord is really helves, it’s going to flop harder than SoC

>>531093659
more like the leastern roman empire

>>531092795
Where did they say that? That's not in the news.

>>531093693
Empire didn't really need a rework either, and Orcs basically got everything they need in WaP, but they still got characters for the RoC campaign.

>>531093659
*Aegean Greek Kingdom

>>531093659
YWNBAR

395: Rome is split between East and West
476: Western Rome falls
1453: Eastern Rome falls
One of these Romes is clearly more legitimate than the other.

>>531093956
Franz was ok but Gelt definitely needed a rework. Also everyone agrees that greenskins were the weakest part of Omens

>>531094323
It should be noted that Rome wasn't even the capital of the west anymore at that point, it was Ravenna.

>>531094362
>Franz was ok but Gelt definitely needed a rework.
I'm just saying because empire already got a rework in 2.

>>531094323
And the name of that Rome?
The Holy Roman Empire

>>531090950
>The upper ruling class would have told you they're Roman and all spoke fluent Latin.
Lol no. If they had, Latin wouldn't be a dead language.

>>531093685
me too but I'd need a graphical upgrade

>>531094323
The perfidious Greeks straight up diverted Germanic tribes into the WRE to make it fall and then in their campaigns to "reconquer" Italy ravaged it and depopulated it. Never trust a Greek.

>vilitch forced march around the bastion for 15 turns to sack 1 (one) unwalled village and then fucked off back into the mountains again

Alright FINE, I'm bored and don't really have any campaign I want to do in my regular TW games. I'm downloading Warhammer 3 now to see what all the fuss is about these silly, silly games.... Anything I should know before hand going in never having played a warhammer title?

>>531094557
Latin was not a dead language in the medieval period retard-kun.

>>531094835
>Anything I should know before hand going in never having played a warhammer title?
Yes, one thing and one thing only.
Prepare to have fun :)

Empire will get a foot knights update soon

>>531094835
Pick a faction that the game lists as "good for beginners". Not because it's easier to play as them but because they teach you more of the basic mechanics of how the game works in general instead of instantly throwing you to the wolves like if you picked say Tzeentch.

Sure dude, they knew how to speak FLUENT Latin, just like the Romans, until one day they suddenly just forgot how to speak Latin and spoke the latin-derived languages instead? Nobody even fucking knows what Latin sounded like.

>empire already got a rework in 2
Excluding the fact that WH2 and WH3 are completely different games, this rework was explicitly only meant for Franz with Gelt and Volkmar allowed to tag along. Immortal Empires unironically makes both of them more interesting just for the fact that they don’t start in the empire

Total War Fire Emblem

Yeah, so I'm thinking that SoC needs one more rework before it's finally ready.

>>531095324
They spoke Latin alongside the Latin-derived languages and we know how Latin was pronounced because of classical Latin guides that said how to pronounce it. This is all common knowledge, are you trolling?

>speaks version of Latin as their main language, Elite still Wrote in the classical style
>founded by actual Romans in 421AD, not by a bunch of conquered peoples LARPing
>Oligarchic Republic, like the Romans would have approved, not a hereditary kingdom which the Romans universally reviled
>treats the Mediterranean like its own personal pond
>marches into Greece and humiliates the Greekoids, Titus Quinctius Flamininus and the Scipio brothers would have been proud
there is only one TRVE heir to Rome, and it's La Serenissima

>>531095870
Tzeentch feels fine but Kislev and Cathay still feel so barren, Kislev at least got a good rework but Cathay is so boring right now, especially when their caravan mechanic is done better by the Chorfs. Kislev needs like 3 or 4 more units (plus the spear Armored Kossars from the prologue as a free update) and the Dragon Siblings should all be playable for Catahy

How about instead of flaunting your retardation you read a book. Or just go to the Vatican where the priests usually speak a Romance language on top of Latin.

No, they speak actual Latin. Every priest has to learn Latin. Once again, how retarded are you?

>You still haven't posted a single bit of evidence that germans, noble or otherwise, ever referred to themselves as Holy Romans. You expect me to read ALL the fucking books in existence you worthless piece of shit?
They didn't refer to themselves as Holy Romans, no, because the Holy part of the name (Sacrum) was a later addition in the first place. Why would anyone fucking use the adjective holy before an ethnicity? They called their empire the Imperium Romanum and they called themselves Romani. The emperors of the HRE called themselves Rex Romanorum or Imperator Romanorum; King of the Romans or Emperor of the Romans. How exactly are they ruling over Romans if no one in the HRE considered themselves legitimate Romans as a continuation of the Roman Empire? You sound like an American with how retarded you are. No one is going to give you actual textual examples of anything when you don't have a basic knowledge of language or the history of Europe.

>>531101460
>melee units with Mark of Nurgle which provides poison on melee attacks and higher HP and DEF for tanking
its really the poison because they're heavily armored units that debuff armor-piercing damage, those fuckers will outtank most damage directed at them and hit back pretty hard despite the lower ATK they have on average to other Chaos Warriors

they really need to add a vanilla option to recruit Legendary Lords, defeated or not, through an in-game mechanic. They keep adding this option sparingly to other factions then they just forget that some factions are just so spread out that recruiting some of them takes the extra mile

Literally not a single document from the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th or 18th century posted where any of them refer to themselves as romans or emperors of romans.

>>531109321

crazy that you can make up all of that but it doesn't change the fact that ca actually listens to multiplayer community

>>531109904
Gelt. The +20 armor on his army is really nice in the early game for a shitter like me and wizards are fun to use. Just finished a short victory campaign yesterday. I only had a single Helstorm Rocket Battery in my army whole game cause I didn't want to deal with the constant friendly fire the whole time.

>>531110161
Even things that are supposed to be happening aren't happening, much less this.

At least the two stunties are guaranteed to survive long enough to put up an actual fight

Here is a coin under Otto II where it says OTTO IMPE(RATOR) ROM(ANORUM). You genuinely have no idea what you're talking about.

>>531111262
You won't believe this, but I actually don't give a fuck.

>>531111421
You got your direct evidence, an actual coin spread throughout what was called the Imperium Romanum at the time declaring Otto to be Emperor of the Romans, so I accept your concession you retarded nigger. Read a book about medieval Europe sometime before embarrassing yourself. You could even read the primary sources in the original Latin, the language you said was completely and utterly dead.

What are some legendary lords which primarily buff their faction rather than their own army?

?

big tiddy butterfly lady has been skulking around the mountains above Reikland for many turns. should I be worried? am I about to see a wood elf chimp-out?

>>531111852
If you really think about it, Tamurkhan directly buffs his faction solely by existing and soloing entire armies by himself
Thus indirectly making your other troops survive for much longer

>>531104514
What was the TW where the general's bodyguards could solo entire armies? Med2 or Attila?

>>531112093
Med 2 is the only one where general's bodyguards can outright solo many armies, they're strong in Rome 1 and Attila but not that strong.

>>531111852
Tyrion and Alarielle have some pretty sweet global bonuses, so you should always want to confederate them as other High Elves.

>he doesn't want to live in poverty, bone-chilling winter, with nothing for nourishment but kvas, and constant fear of being executed for heresy and treason
The old world is weak... decadent... frail... except for that one hunk Karl Franz ho my, what a man, a real manly man's man with a big male cock, he can outmanly any Kislevite and is the manliest of all men, he is the True Sigmar Emperor, please impregnate with your manly semen the Tzarina RIGHT NOW your manliest manliness!

Does Morathi prefer Insidious or Tenacious? I dont really use that many shades (at most I keep about 8 of them in her army) and usually keep them for range while allowing other frontline to do work. Likewise on Heroes I keep only 3 heroes at most per army including hers

Real thing is that Rome fallen in crisis of third century that was also the 6th century collapse and 10th century collapse.
These three events happened at the same time. That mean that HRE was direct Romd successor and between fall of Roman empire and Crusades was just around 100-150 years

>>531100167
>>531100587
Warhammer has no need for weather in battles because its not really a 'tactics' game like some of the older total wars. Its more like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 with real time battles or something like that

>>531113156
Just your average very normal and sane Empirefag post

>>531113156
Franz does not need to waste his time going to Kislev, the Kislevite whores come to him, specifically Katarin, Ulrika and Naryska https://files.catbox.moe/nwbc58.jpeg

>>531113187
>I dont really use that many shades (at most I keep about 8 of them in her army)
"Not that many"

>>531113408
What does that even mean? Older TW "need" weather in battles? The fuck.

>>531111048
Pretty much every VCO campaign has one or even two victory conditions that are super easy to the point they're shorter than even short victory objectives, I usually play for two or more because they're so short

>>531108262
I'd say it's the better game, yes
Troy with Mythos is fun as a fantasy game, but as a Total War game Pharaoh is a better experience

>>531113447
I think its a fine amount, their frontline isnt the best compared to the Asur or others and usually as Morathi I ignore the donut in favor heading to the Chaos Wastes and saying Malekith, Hellebron and Malus so I need an edge when going blow for blow against Chaos (since I take Valkia out and/or Grombrindal since he seems to love destroying Malekith in all my campaigns ive played)

Ulrika is no longer of Kislev. She is nothing but a fucking vampire creature who steals the other women's clothes and pretends to be a human in public. Then she has the GALL to pretend like she has a conscience, as if any of us would be so gullible. She's an evil creature with no true self, only a directive to preserve the bloodline and obedience to the will of her foul vampire coven. You know how I know she has no true self? Because women who have true selves are humble and pious and wear CLOTHES as part of themselves, while foul wretched evil curséd vampires keep swapping their clothes and being evil and disguising themselves because their true forms are naked sinful evil night creatures! They must all burn!

>>531113890
>t. volkmar the incel

>>531113890
Shes also heavily racist and holds hatred towards The Empire, and if life has taught me anything, this means Ulrika is gonna fall in love with Franz

>>531113502
Yes the older total wars were less arcadey. Warhammer isn't really trying to be some super accurate battle simulation.

>>531114078
Nay, she already fell for Felix. In this world, you're either a Franzgal, or a Felixgal.

>>531114245
She's neither. She's just shit. Foul fucking vampire SHIT!

>V*mpire whore
Sigmar does not consent. Franz will never falter.

Do you guys build defensive buildings for minor settlements?

>>531114356
You know what? That's it. I'm putting her into Volkmar's army and then filling it out with 18 witch hunters.

>>531110486
Braggin about CA preferring the input of Mpfags when the same company almost went under with Hyena's and other shit ideas is not the win you think it is.

It just further cements that PvP is a cancer on the series slowly killing it.

>>531114245
>Felix
Before becoming a vampire, however as she became a vampire and specifically a Lahmian, she desires power and Franz has a lot of that

>>531114574
Back in TW2 I learned to build defensive buildings just about everywhere; it's my default to.

>>531114574
I don't see much of a point when the AI will always outnumber your garrison both in numbers and quality, unless its a t5 with yellow buildings

>>531114574
Only when I think it's necessary which is not very often. It is very situational you see

I love this game so much. I just played 10 hours today of gorbad campaign on legendary. Thousands of hours total. Late game greenskins are like crack. Slowly outfitting each army with scrap and so many units to use. My current favourite is black orcs with shields and melee defence ability, led by Grimgor it’s unbeatable. Hnnnghhhh I had to go to bed but I want to play more! Dawi you’re fucked when I wake up I will destroy you

CA (and many players) think like this
>MP players reduce the game into the pure stats of classes, without red lines, or other campaign buffs, as such they are the true benchmark of how a unit performs
Which is repulsive in many levels, but its their train of thought

>>531114818
wazzok!

Daily reminder that there is a Bretonnian Lahmian vampire living in Altdorf who was once groped by Magnus the Pious, saved Karl Franz from assassination, the Arch Lector of Sigmar ordained her marriage, she became a champion of Sigmar himself for a time and is also a french woman that knows Cathayan martial arts, the one and only Genevieve Sandrine du Pointe du Lac Dieudonné

>shoot fireball
>it hits terrain
Many such cases
I don't know why I bother with this shit ass magic

>>531114993
I'm going to say she's a Mary Sue.
And she's also naked under her stolen clothes so she too must be exterminated. It's Sigmar's Law!

Uhhhmmmm why is Yao Ming not reinforcing???? Am I missing something?

>>531114993
Genevieve is a really bad Lahmian considering it's public knowledge she is a vampire.

>>531114890
many - is a relative term. There is, at any one time, sub 100 active MP players.
In the inverse there are tens of thousands of SP players. Again MP is a cancer of the main body of Total War.

>>531115181
>Mary Sue
meaningless term.

>>531115281
Are you trying to attack the enemy army with your hero? wtf are you doing?

>>531115181
They already tries that once, Magnus and Franz have basically given her protection with Imperial Authority and she runs a bar in Altdorf where she likes to constantly bring this up, especially the Magnus the Pious feeling up her ass bit
>>531115421
She is but we love her for being ditzy and goofy, hope they add her as a LH available to Empire, Bretonnia, Cathay and Chaos Dwarfs (through enslavement because she was enslaved for a time by them) as FLC

Pic related kidnaps the Hero's wife. He taunts the Hero when the Hero arrives to rescue her and canonically beats the shit out of the Hero during phase 1 of his boss fight. I might be wrong but I also recall that he's a difficult boss if you don't have the right party build, meaning lots of people lost to him repeatedly.

>>531119081
The Slaanesh LL whose name I can never remember is one of the best duelists in the game, which Azazel is fucking not.
Valkia is objectively worse than Skarbrand (but not by a lot)
Vilitch is better early game than Kairos but a lot worse late-game
I still haven't played Festus yet

Are you guys gonna be pissed when CA does 40k but its gonna be the 30k version around the Age of Darkness and only has 50 star systems to explore?

Nope, I wonder if CA realized what the abreviation would be.

>>531124952
We do? I must have missed that, I haven't been following the news lately. Last I saw a lot of people were speculating heavily that Neferata would be in it.
Aislinn huh? How do we know, were they actually announced?

Have any of you tried this? I don't think I've used a mod like this before as I'm always suspicious that modders typically make broken/overpowered shit, but using this mod and only recruiting living units might be reasonable.

>>531125170
We got 2 deamon + 1 mortal for monogods so far (Engrimm will come) so probably some mortal character as flc. Masque will be a hero.

Dechala is a deamon right?

>>531125504
I didn't think so. I thought she's just heavily corrupted/morphed but not a demon. Similar to spawn and other chaotic oddities but not demonic.

>>531125310

They are also expanding the map quite dramatically.

That's a good one. pairs well with this for not being too OP like Nanu's.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2862073885

Also consider the landmarks expanded one, they add some great stuff like a unique mercenaries system for Sartosa. They're pretty strong but the AI get landmarks of their own so if anything it makes the game much harder.

>>531125839
They stack up? Both appear to change Aranessa's skills. Was considering just using >>531125380 + https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3236830091 and nothing else. It should be plenty, as I've done a Sartosa-only campaign with her long ago and would rather not do just that again, just add a bit of flavour.

>>531125624
Yeah appearently she is a heavily mutated Asur. Well then Masque or another deamon of slaanesh is likely to be a LL. Lorefags might mention some deamons for us to speculate mayhaps?

Why does Khorne use women-coded weapons?

How likely is it that CA will open up the map by a substantial amount on 7.0?
I mean not just one small province, like the whole of ind or at least a big part of it
the elf islands below Cathay would make sense for Ainslin, and it would be odd to have that part of the map open without playable territory above it

even 6.3 is likely to be a fall off in quality

>>531131136
My brother in Christ, they need ten (10) [X] fucking months just to release a Slaanesh LL with a sprinkling of Norsca and a dash of Asur. Consider yourself lucky if they add just three new cities to the top of Khuresh or something.

>>531135286
cheers me up knowing my enemies are weak,pathetic retards

So I was just testing out the units, first time playing the game, but I noticed something weird
The AI always, ALWAYS fucks up their formation and makes every single battle a weird mosh pit instead of holding a proper line.
Why the fuck do they do that?
This is 2 armies with the same composition (just a bunch of spearman), same number of unites (20), same type of leader, and for some reason the AI instad of having their spearman in a line, or even trying something clever, right before the the lines engage, they just do this weird breakdown where their entire formation breaks apart.

Is this always going to happen in the battles in this game?

>>531072178
how is hattori hard? the entire mechanic of being able to deploy right infront of the enemy is supposed to help you sneak around with assassins and shit but you can just deploy samurai and instantly charge to win every time

>>531135824
The fuck are you on about, nigger?

>>531135663
Yes, but moderately predictable. Instead of having clean lines, you'll have a line that looks like pic related usually. Because you have to click on units like ~30m out to get the full charge bonus, yours are going to be jumbled up accordingly too.

>>531072712
when you take an enemy settlement everything gets wiped and the routed units get split between all your units thats how it has worked for like 15 years now

>>531135946
Every unit costs more and has a higher upkeep, money in that game is a bit scarce, so being unable to field as much yari ashigaru early on is not a good tradeoff for being able to deploy anywhere when your upkeep is +33% and your unique units, the Hattori Bandits and their Kisho Ninjas, are worse than the bow ashigaru and the regular ninja unit respectively.

>>531136067
Oh I hate that.
I guess I'm avoiding melee armies. I don't mind jumbled messes when it's cavalry or monsters but seeing spear infantry doing it just annoys me.

>>531136428
Honestly the jumble's a bit of the chaos of combat. You're never really going to get perfect lines due to terrain, units being slowed when a javelin hits them - if you want perfect lines, play a faction with a Wind of Death spell, use spears or other incredibly sturdy front-liners and let them charge straight into your lines. I like Tomb Kings for this purpose, but they have no Wind.

Yeah, I specifically picked a bunch of spearman, that's correct. I wanted to see what the AI would do if they didn't have any flankers or monsters or anything that would create a jumbled mess in the front line.

>>531138818
just don't take more than 2 heroes. is 17 slots per army not enough for you?

>>531138818
We used to be able to put agents in armies in Shogun 2 and Attila and they provided benefits like heroes did in armies without taking up a slot. Of course, you didnt get to use the agent in combat but I also think itd be nice to have an option for heroes to have their own slot and be limited to like 4 or 5 heroes at most so we dont have herostack armies

I wish my fuckhole had its own limited slot instead of taking up farting space

>>531139283
I would like 30 slots per army with 1 dedicated general slot and 2 dedicated hero slots.

>>531148119
even several gyros are helpless against a single flying monster without missile support, so they're well balanced.

Is it just me or is it actually better for certain factions to rush their melee infantry just in front of the walls, rather than stay on them?
I just fought a siege battle (in WH2, which has even less gates for doing this) agains liggers and did exactly that, and won. Took a lot of casualties because Saurusmanii be crazy like that, but still, I checked my handgunners and they infliced a lot of damage, even if all of them didnt get high kills. Even if you cant attack siege equipment (for some fucking reason) you can at least block units with ladders and give the ranged units more time to shoot.
It seems like the best place for melee infantry in sieges is anywhere BUT the walls. In front or way behind near the victory point.
Which is the kind of retarded shit thats almost impressive, bravo, CA.

>>531149248
Actually, this was how sieges worked IRL. You wouldn't just wait on the walls because the enemy would wheel forth towers or make trenches up to it, so you'd have several lines of infantry-manned trenches covered by crossbowmen on the wall to maximize the amount of time the crossbowmen got to fire.

>>531149248
The Troy Defense does work quite well in these games, that is very true

>>531149940
It sucks that the defender can't deploy outside the walls

Is this known to be bugged? I did activate it as I had an upkeep of -4 while not having anything else running. A couple of turns later I tried another challenge and that worked for the bonuses. I can make a cult manually via a cultist (tried it this campaign) so that works fine.

>>531149761
I mean, I can accept that to some degree, and I realize sallies did happen. And trenches and stuff the more modern times, as you say.
And there are instances of it in the fluff. The final battle in the Tamurkhan book springs to mind, and Altdorf in the End Times.
But it would be nice to have the walls actually mean something. I might just use a mod that gives a leadership bonus, idk.

>>531139283
Depending on the faction, it gets annoying juggling which agents you want in certain armies. Factions like chaos make it EZPZ by having only two options, so you always have 17 guaranteed units. Skaven have literally 6 (SIX) options, and they're all really fucking good, so you always feel like missing out by sacrificing one.

>>531149248

The true redpill is records mode is the best way to play it. I thought I would be missing out but not having Warhammeresque magic ability buttons actually makes the battles a lot more fun. General units are still no slouch with how OP cavalry is in the game too. Unfortunately Diaochan is romance exclusive so I had to mod her in to records mode.

I think a simple decrease of mass would solve a lot of issues already

>>531151373
Whilst I agree cav in 3K loop a lot I'm not sure I'd call the strategists and nerds capable of trashing anything other than T1 archers and even then they really only keep the unit from firing by clumping them

>>531152221
TROM is your best friend then, it heavily cuts down on hero strength and normalizes item stats more by having early game weapons be stronger and late game weapons be weaker than they are in the base game

>>531152721
The problem isn't them destroying tier 1 archers, the problem is them charging through your braced frontline and then you being unable to do anything about it
Single entities have too much mass and bloated stats in general

>>531152560
share it I'm too lazy to make anything myself

>>531152134
It's not so bad. Malekith gets busy with Grombrindal, and Hellebron has to fight both Sigvald and Valkia, so you have breathing room to go beat up Cholesterol to support your southern borders

Pretty cool leaving your blood hosts alive/never disbanding them (often just feeding enemies), neutrals that share an enemy with you often take the opportunity to use them.

>>531152708

fun fact: there was a battle in ancient greece which I can't remember the name of, where the commander put all of the women and children in front of the main gate, and then put all of the men in front of them, and then locked the gate. the attackers, upon seeing this, decided to retreat because they knew that those men would fight to the death to the last man and as a result, it was more trouble than it was worth.

>>531154494
Less than you'd think, I'd compared it to DeI in terms of definitive TW overhaul mods. Really the main big change that you'd notice right away is the color autism being tweaked, generals can only recruit units of their color but many units are two colors instead of just one and what units you use is now much more important. I'm sure there's several mods that just outright debuff generals on the workshop if you just want that.

>>531153908
my autism flares up now whenever I watch archer scenes since they commit all the cardinal sins of movie archers
>aiming up to rain down arrows when this doesn’t actually work irl, the arrows just flop harmlessly to the ground
>firing in volleys when the bow is a precision weapon fired at the archer’s discretion
>massacring hundreds of soldiers with arrows like heavy machine guns (saving private ryan’s success meant that every action movie had to have a scene where guys get mowed down)
>way out of range of a bow
>firing from behind your own men when this almost never actually happened in history
Commanders would be way too worried about shooting their own men in the back to fire over their heads so closely. You would definitely accidentally shoot your own guys, and nobody would ever be brave enough to stand their ground while their own archers are firing arrows into their backs. That would be a huge loss in morale for the infantry, they’d constantly be worried and morale is everything on the ancient battlefield
This probably comes as a surprise to avid total war fans, who are used to putting their missiles behind their infantry and letting them shoot over the heads of their own troops. This doesn’t actually work and total war games got way more causal when they started allowing missile units to shoot at the enemy’s frontline during the melee. Archers would move to the flanks after the initial skirmish, they did not fire over the heads of their own men for all the reasons I mentioned.
Thanks for reading! I’m happy to have ruined movies and your favorite game for you! have a wonderful night! :3

whate do you think about fire arrows like in the opening scene of gladiator

>>531155295
Volley fire is mostly a myth (in the sense that they started out loosing when ordered but when at their own pace) but firing from behind your own lines and at sort of an arc (although not as extreme as you can get in TW) is not a total myth, in the same way that fire arrows aren't a total myth. It did happen, it just all depended on the battle and the situation.

>>531155642
Elf delusion is a powerful thing

>>531155757
didn’t really happen, maybe occasionally in sieges to destroy siege equipment, looks cool on screen so that’s why they do it. They didn’t really have the right chemicals to keep the fire lit during flight back in the day, so they wouldn’t have had any way to keep it lit during flight without heavily weighing down the arrow. The main thing is that it ruins the aerodynamics of the arrow, changing its balance point and making it too heavy.

It may have happened occasionally, like if you have a good hill, but I think the psychological trauma of having arrows flying over your head would be devastating for the frontline troops. Imagine being there thinking at any moment, one of these arrows flying right over my head will hit me in the back of the head, you don’t want to scare your own guys. Bows notoriously fall short all the time, it’s too risky once the troops get into melee with each other. You would have archers poking through the formation and shooting or throwing javelins, but total war can’t really replicate that.

I expect this behaviour when playing VH or Legendary because you're basically asking for it at that but point but what the fuck

>>531156462
In the situations where they did shoot from the backlines I imagine it was very measured and probably cut off sooner than TW does it where archers will autofire even as the enemy is right up against your lines. I'm also pretty sure I've read examples of the front line infantry ducking down so archers can fire more safely but you can't do that in Total War. There were also historical formations like the famous Roman clibanarii which would have a mixed structure with the inner section having bows and the outer section having clubs that TW doesn't represent either.

>>531156827
god I wish we had mixed formations. You should be able to combine melee and range units into true hybrid units like you could in battle for middle earth (god I miss that game)
Then you could have the missile unit shooting through the gaps in the melee guys, and pike/shot formations would be possible

As I thought, devastated ruins are prone to fucking with the AI sometimes. Testing with the final book of Khorne and some AI such as Archaon is fixated on it. A few turns later, a third army of his is now there, all 3 just sitting there turn after turn. Often I'll see an AI sit at it for a turn maybe two then go elsewhere (guessing priorities such as nearby enemies approaching), but as Archaon has no nearby enemies, sitting at a ruin is top priority.

Bit of a shame, especially since I was hoping he'd get fat after all this time before I go and slaughter him.

>>531158596
>*makes a privy tank of your ancestors gravestones*

>>531159089
fug seeing the e*f in that image shook me so much I forgot my image

>>531158993
It’s actually fascinating how incompetent the AI is on the campaign map. I always have these detailed plans in my head before I end the turn, having thought of every possible scenario that could befall me, and then I’m always inevitably surprised by the fact that the AI manages to choose “strategies” that are so bad that even I did not predict them. It’s fascinating, like a slap stick comedy.

>100% ambush chance

Would it kill CA to actually show if a nearby hero is affecting the chance or something

>>531158993
>>531159298
You can use deepwar if you want AI that stops idling

>>531159497
Now consider that ambush chance is a flat percentage and that ambush defence is also a thing.
>>531159298
Yeah overall all things considered it's pretty good (as in, vidya standards), and they have improved the AI quite a bit lately, but I sure hope they fix up the rarer and more extreme cases such as that devastated ruins shit.
>>531159608
Do you know if deepwar actually fixes this specific instance? It's rare (that I've seen anyway).

Similar thing happened when I was playing Skarbrand. I vassallised Franz and all of his former enemies just sat at the top of Altdorf for the rest of the game. It’s clear they were trying to declare war on him but was unable due to the changes in the vassal mechanic

You wanna talk about posting out of context stuff, how about you post a page which describes her stealing that outfit she's wearing on your pic since that's obviously not her original cavalry rider outfit ergo she must have stolen it from someone most likely far more pious than her!

Why is there even anyone in Kislev dressed up as a musketeer for her to mug and steal clothes from?

I pretty much only play Total War 1 races
I want to give Cathay and Kislev a go, which one should I play?
I don't have any DLC

>playing mandate of heaven
>3 ai armies sit next to a yellow turban settlement
>none of them take it despite overwhelming advantage
i see they just lobotomized the ai to not have the yellow turbans instantly die

>>531113576
I mean on one side, it makes total sense
If anything it encourages you to "play tall" and clear up your starting region, and it gives you a small reward to encourage you to play for the other 2 objectives
At the same time, I still vividly remember starting Oxy's campaign and instantly winning because I had the Turn Time Destroyer mod tuned wrong, which nukes far-away factions you're never technically meant to interact with

Black guys themselves do post bmwf though one of the most prolific ones turned out to be a gay black guy with a micro dick
Ah that reminds me an annoying one on /vg/ is a purto rican that got fucked by a black guy irl and posts this stuff in gacha threads hoping to convert agp retards into doing the same thing as him.
Also Total War...
Total War Magic the Gathering and you ascend to planeswalker and travel to different maps.

>>531165429
Mandate of Heaven is a buggy piece of shit even with bug fix mods, it's a coin flip if you play it whether anything works at all.

>>531165429
MoH is very finnicky and the AI is very poor at hanfling the yellow turbans on their own. Part of it is the YT garrisons being silly strong. Especially if they belong to one of the 3 brothers, and the AI will be very wary of taking settlements because it will cost them a lot and the main YT armies are huge doomstacks that can wipe a couple of Han armies on their own.

Basically, don't rely on AI factions to clean up YT settlements.

How come empire and dwarf cannons are so bad?

>>531166024
they are not

>>531166024
Compared to what?

>>531165195
Kislev, because Cathay lacks that extra spicy Warhammer grittiness.

>>531165195
Caravans are pretty fun for cathay.
Kislev is less gay, their part of the world looks less like a shitty fan mod too.

>>531166082
muh dick

>>531165831
the story events seem to work fine but i stopped playing anyway after killing the yellow turbans myself since 190 is way more interesting to start in

>>531166082
Crossbows.
Cannons are too inaccurate. They'll do just about 0 damage compared to any other arty. Can't even trust them to fuck up 1 unit on their own.

>>531165195
they're both kind of doodoo without dlc units.

>>531166024
cannons have their uses it's mortars that are fucking worthless. half of vampire coast's problems stem from mortars being pieces of shit that don't do the job they're supposed to.

>>531166084
Cathay is so lame they could announce that Liyue from Genshin Impact was the inspiration and I would believe them.

>>531166245
Cannons do fucktons of damage to unarmoured chaff.

>>531166195
>the story events seem to work fine
I love MoH but this isn't even the case like 30% of the time. The early ones are fine but it's legitimately like a 70-30 or 60-40 ish coin flip whether the Han go under the control of Dong Zhuo and the empire dissolves in 189 or not. It's extremely fragile.

>>531166240
cannons are for shooting large units and other artillery.

>>531166336
Yea and they're shit at it.

Why is the game telling me the Bretonnia factions are "free" but then steam tells me I need WH2 to download them? What the fuck is this?

>>531166326
if you're talking about mortars no they don't because they can't hit for shit. you can have a mortar shooting for the entire battle and it will only get like 800 value because 3/4 of the shots it makes will just hit dirt.

>>531166024
Shitty copy of Cathay original.

Why do execs even attend meetings or ask for things. If I was an exec I would just watch numbers go up and be happy.

>>531159497
"fails" or "foiled" because those are different things and "foiled" has nothing to do with ambush chance

That is old problem since beggining of TW at last as old as Rome 1

yes egypt is dogshit everything else is pretty good

>>531135663
The purpose is to make them game more shit.

>>531138818
I have more revolutionary idea.
Units should be more customisable and you should be able to attach extra detachment and heroes to units. Not mention banners and stuff.

>>531130174
This is the only thing that matters.
Besides no one plays vanilla med 2

>>531167137

>>531136428
Lmao. Brother read some books about the hellenic wars or pike and shot era and decided that all spearmen in history must have fought in a phalanx. Newsflash bro, shoulder to shoulder hypertight formations of spears are like 10% of the history of spear warfare, because militaries reflect the cultural traditions of their times and most cultures don't have the discipline to stand in a straight row when in a fight to the fucking death.

>>531151373
This is really only true at the very beginning of the campaign or if you're fighting literal peasants. If you send a regular strategist into the fray against a proper stack it will most likely die without accomplishing much

>>531166695
Cathay is one of the few factions that doesnt need DLCs imo. Crowmen are low-tier bats (but killier) so they are nice to have, but nothing gamebreaking. Same for Jade and Jet lions.

After the latest patch, my ranged units are acting all fucky. If they need to turn to shoot at their target, they dont turn in place but walk forward when turning (akin to car making a turn). This inevitably leads to them getting embedded within mainline infantry in front of them and them being unable to shoot and often getting drawn into melee to get slaughtered. Anyone else having the same issue (or better yet, a fix)?

>>531166669
literally anyone can dodge mortars. ai, grandpas with arthritis, 14 year olds playing on dad's laptop with a trackpad.

>>531166695
kislev is missing their t0 melee infantry and all of their good infantry clearing options. cathay is missing crowmen which you kind of need to do anything but sit in a box.

>>531168765
For me that's always been the case where they'd often do that. Always meaning, since I've been playing, and often as in not every single time they have to turn to shoot. Ranged unit AI has been inconsistent and silly for me. More-so if they're gunpowder (direct LOS).

>>531159497
Its just CA being obtuse as usual (like not showing melee attack speed or ranged weapon accuracy). Each army and hero has certain % chance to spot ambush on their turn start before they move. This value cannot be reduced in any way. ONLY if your army doesnt get spotted does your 100% ambush chance come into play.

I can't get into Rome 2 and Attila
Those games are just so ugly and dull

>Valkia has the bloodbrute behemoth in the redline (only in the 1 point rank 7+ area)
>Khorne doesn't have it in either redline area
Interesting quirk. Oversight perhaps? Khorne factions are able to recruit it.

this cunt hasnt gained any settlements for like 20 turns, why won't she confed?

>>531169287
They're strong and (as far as I can see) safe. They're not under any large or immediate threat. And she (the LL) is still alive. I'm surprised the rating is that small/close considering.

>>531169139
Yes idk why they bother with overhaul mods without reskinning the map first. Atilla especially just feels like shit to look at.

>>531156543
I´m unironically having most fun by setting battle and campaign difficulty to Easy, but campaign and in-battle AI cheats to hard. Then just declare war against "loreful" enemies since only problem with Easy is that AI only rarely declares war on you. Weirdly enough, this makes AI more aggressive than Hard: instead of waiting to get 3 full stacks to roll over your minor settlements, you´ll have tons of kino defensive sieges with reasonable chances to win. They also war with their neighbors more often since they see their autoresolve more favorable, instead of building those 3 stacks and then declaring war on player and player only.
You only need self-discipline to really declare wars even when it isnt optimal and to battle manually instead of abusing now-skewed autoresolve.

>he doesn’t play on L/VH ironman with max battle difficulty slider

>>531169779
I can't not play on Legendary/VH, but the cheats are just so fucking lame. It bothers me a little playing without everything maxed, but not enough that I'm willing to make the game less enjoyable over it. FUCK cheats.

Are streltsi good now?

>>531170086
They weren't efore?

Greedy rat got tired of having his NAP offers constantly rejected.

>>531170063
the game is already too easy with the sliders maxed out. WH2 was actually hard, this is a baby game. I would cheat to make it harder, but then that make me happier because I would be getting what I want and feel a sense of power and control, which would be a buff to my morale, overcoming the disadvantage and actually making it easier overall.
Therefore, I suffer on vanilla. It’s mathematically the most suffering. It leads to me ranting and criticizing CA, feeling hopeless and powerless, and unsatisfied by the lack of challenge. It’s science

The tradeoff is you grow crops of norscans which you then steal the armies of to use as the chaff for your main blobs.
But yeah the WoC fall off hard lategame vs armies that can actually print their T5 units, so you're really incentivized to herospam which is kinda lame.

>>531170598

No it actually wasnt. All you did there was farm rebellions and doomstack with missile infantry + SEs. Wh3 battle ai is actually dangerous on the field.

>>531172003
>Wh3 battle ai is actually dangerous on the field.
Agreed for the most part when it actually tries to fight because it will actually try shit, but it needs to be way less bitchmade when it comes to starting fights. For example, if you have any amount of arty that outranges their arty the AI should always run at you, no exceptions. Anything else just opens up way too much easy cheese.

Not that good of a screenshot as it was so spread-out. Chaos/Khorne (whoever can get Juggernauts) are still the absolute best/most fun hammer + anvil for me. They're the most satisfying as they can get swarmed and picked-off if too lazy with them, but the noise and damage done is always a treat. 1 mounted lord; 1 mounted hero; and 7 cavalry units. Might get another as I want to get rid of this Slaughterbrute (would also be nice if it didn't have arm-nipples).
>the hissing of the juggernauts sprint and exhaust

That's very cool, but it makes the first 40 turns a miserable slog where you're constantly unable to recruit anything beyond basic marauders while AIs are running around with T3 units.

>>531172003
tactical advantages pale in comparison to the strategic disadvantage of being stupid on the campaign map. WH2 AI was ruthless and annoying which made it harder overall

>>531170286
>take one settlement from him

>>531174791
The marauders can also be upgraded. Turning a couple of them into horsemen can greatly turn a battle into your favour. You should also have access to insta recruitable trolls, manticores and gifted units
