To the Anon talking about character DLC.
Li Dao is the Cathayan dragon you are thinking of.
Okay so it's been a while since the delay was announced what do we think of the 3 Legendary Lord were going to be paying forTides of Torment?Also are you hoping we'll get a mini DLC with the original Vampire as an LL?
Are there any particular lords that you would like to see in a lord-only DLC?
>>531496423I like all 3 of the lords. Looking forward to seeing their new mechanics being revealed in August.
Neferata should be cool and I will definitely give her a go.
Since DoW on tabletop has been leaked to get new Tilean and Estalian generic units that reinforces the idea of the DoW DLC
Can anyone gimme a QRD of all the changes they've made since....well I don't think I played since Tamurkhan was released, I bought Omens but I never did play any of them because I just lost interest.
But I'm seeing things popping up in my feeds about new slaanesh dlc, dunno who the other races are, siege reworks, other race reworks, and apparently they had some other patches and stuff in between? Kinda feeling the itch to play again.
>>531496657Besides the reworks all the races got that were in Tides, we got an ancillary rework that made a lot of them useful or recieved well deserved buffs, we also got a Kislev rework thrown in which is fine. Other than that we a few new units but theyre all basically reskins with different weapons. Slaanesh DLC got delayed
>>531497127>TidesI meant Omens
did you realize that it's taken so long for them to work on sieges because no one plays siege battles in mp? if turin was hosting siege battle tournaments they would have been fixed years ago.
>>531497802mpniggers cant even handle trees you expect them to play in a map with fucking walls?
Hot take: ass ladders are completely fine, enemies that are trying to use ladders are vulnerable to spells, ranged attacks or units you send outside the settlement and people are completely overblowing how strong they are when they say they "trivialize" sieges. Maybe they could cause more vigor loss but they were never a problem with sieges besides them looking silly, the complaints about ass ladders are coming from redditors tards that repeat the same talking points over and over not realizing how much worse the game would be without ladders.
Look at the dogshit sieges in medieval 2 for example: The AI ends up dropping them and running around the walls for 50 minutes doing literally nothing as you shoot them.
The real problem with sieges is the lack of unique siege equipment for the various races that should have them, how inconvenient it is to build siege equipment in the first place, the atrocious unit pathing in a lot of siege maps and the AI being retarded.
The fact that they're even considering REMOVING something that 1) works and 2) is the only thing the AI uses properly in sieges and 3) make sieges bearable is madness.
What would removing ladders achieve besides making players hero spam more?
>>531498634nah, i don't like them, they're too retarded sorry
>>531498634It's grossly overblown and there are a myriad of more important aspects of the game. Autistic community.
>>531497802There is a reason for that
>>531498140Is right. You fucks would have an aneurysm until sieges were a flag on a small sloped and flat hill with a sign on it.
Mpniggers would unironically call Shogun 1 'sieges' cluttered and OP.
>>531498634ass ladders are a crutch for the incompetent AI
>>531498634No assaulting a city in the same turn you attack unless your army brought siege equipment.
>>531498634>3k had burrow under walls to collapse them as a siege option>the game with dwarfs, chorfs, skaven, greenskins, all of whom have techs, items, and ancillaries referencing this does not
Idk why r*dditors want to make sieges even harder. 90% of the campaign sieges are the ones where we are the attacker. And since the map is so dense with major settlements, making the walled sieges even more time wasting is going to make people quit before turn 20.
Forcing the player to lay a siege for 1 or 2 turns and programming the AI to attack your siege to create a field battle is the only good solution.
>>531499028ca knows this and hopes that by pandering to assladder autists they can skip out on fixing better, more important issues
on July 25 there will be a video released by every major shill on how removing ass ladders fixes the game and now ca deserves a vacation and a reward
>modern TW players when it takes more than one turn to attack a walled city
>>531499591As much as 3k was influenced by WH it was still a treasure trove of lostech from the previous titles.
>>531499690I don't even get how it's a concern as you can just bring siege breaker units. Sometimes you can even break walls easily too (some abilities for example).
>siege rework before 40k
KEK
>>531498634>make sieges bearableThat's hidden army cheese, flying units and artillery spam, ass ladders provide nothing or value.
>>53149991640K isn't coming until late 2026. The siege rework will likely be available on the main client in August.
>>531498634from what I can tell, the fantasy people are looking for in siege battles boils down to
>grueling grindy chokepoint fights>shelling incoming enemies with artillery and magic>destructible buildingspeople dramatically prefer defending siege battles but the way the AI works means you are very rarely fighting defensive sieges that are remotely fair and CONSTANTLY fighting offensive sieges with dogshit pathing and line of sight issues. CA historically seems to think people just want more micro-manage-y minigame-y sieges while most of the current siege battles being units just slowly pathing past each other down jagged hallways so they are effectively offering a more annoying and time consuming version of something people already find tedious. the butt ladders just seems like an attempt to encourage more chokepoint fights
>>531500032is 40k confirmed
>>531499690The game really conditions you to go at a zoomers pace, doesnt help when big youtubers that still play WH3 constantly push the idea of if you havent captured 1 settlement per turn you are going too slow
CA you HOT fucking dogs
removing ass ladders will SAVE this game and my LIFE and the WORLD and now we can live in SPACE
*gluck gluck gluck*
ass ladders were the issue
*gluck gluck, cough*
sieges are fixed
*cums and shits pants*
I FUCKUIJNG LOVE CA
Can a 1660 Ti and 5800x run lategame at close to 60fps lategame? on medium that is. I know my GPU is ass, will upgrade in a year maybe
>>531500280Nope, just rumoured. It might get confirmed during the December Total War showcase.
>>531500395It's okay to be bad anon it's a singleplayer game you don't need to seethe at people who play the game better than you do
>>531500872Says the retard bringing up the idea of playing a game better than someone else. In a single player game.
is the siege rework good or not? i think i'm still going to cheese them a lot just to preserve my army and momentum on the campaign map
like can you imagine attacking a siege as slaanesh with their shit replenishment as the tcaluk intended? your campaign would be crippled for like 10 turns after a 'proper' attack where you would have to sit there and replenish and re-recruit your army
>>531501058Yeah if you deleted all your units at the start of the campaign and pressed end turns until you lost I would call that playing badly
Again nobody judges you for taking your time but if you can expand more quickly and win more fights with less units then you're playing better than a person who can't.
Please stop seething at online strangers who are better than you at a singleplayer videogame, it's cringe
Possible achievements they could add in the next DLC for Sea Lord Aislinn?
>>531500395>doesnt help when big youtubers that still play WH3 constantly push the idea of if you havent captured 1 settlement per turn you are going too slowYou forgot the part where they sell these settlement for tons of money and diplomatic relations so they can keep up that momentum.
This is an equivalent of making raid party in your third province so you can power level your lords/heroes and take on any enemy with just them.
>>531501642They don't really add achievements alongside DLC unless it is a race pack.
It is theoretically possible that they could include achievements for constructing certain landmarks. Maybe the great toll gate of Calith.
>>531501430>making up own argumentsNotice I never even said anything good or bad about someone going fast or taking their time, all I said is that WH3 does in fact condition someone to go fast with how quick the AI can snowball with max AI cheats on. If you want to stop sucking yourself off now, I also play on VH/VH and prefer taking my time with max AI buffs which arguably makes it harder when the AI outnumbers my armies 6 to 2 1/2, kys faggot.
>>531501149It depends.
imo playing a siege "properly" will never be fun no matter what siege weapon they add unless you can build those siege weapons way quicker, nobody wants to sit on their arse outside of a settlement for several turns
>>531502187>I'm not m-mad! k-kys!!!The hardest siege battles are in our heads, my friend.
>MPigger is now falseflagging as a SPfag
grim
thoughts on the fifth siege rework?
>>531503063that might be the most biased piece of propaganda I have ever seen
>>531503063>they said nothing about the towers that the enemy AI gets to start their battles withits over before it even began
>>531503063It's a quick patch job before hopefully giving us a more thorough solution, and it should be taken as such.
luthor harkon shoots mp players
>>531503963>>531504118What is so special about me gusta?
luthor harkon shoots his cum into a shot glass then drinks it
>ass ladders gone
So how do you climb walls now? Do you construct them like other siege equipment?
>>531504413did you read the blog?
oh i see
you're defending mpfags
your end will be the same
Stop pretending to be stupid and post your Total War campaign.
>>531504573https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs/76
>>531503063>artillery is once again going to kill 80% of the enemy army before the attack even starts>defender's artillery won't be able to do anything because of range and LoSIf your faction can have a dedicated artillery stack with like 6 cannons and some heroes that replenish them following your main stack around then it's going to be easier than ever.
For the same reason defending will be harder since you'll have to send someone out of the walls to take out enemy artillery instead of sniping the crew with basic towers.
Flying single entities and big monsters that smash down gate should be just as good
Grounded spellcaster can still hug a blindspot between towers and spam magic to their hearts content
Honestly it might not be so bad as long as the AI doesn't completely shit the bed because of missing ladders and the speed up on tower construction is fast enough to be able to field a bunch of them in a single turn, but it's probably not going to make sieges fun
>>531505525i saw him do it
>week wait
>for a mod-tier rework BETA for 2 weeks
>then another 2 week wait for ligger and kang soft rework
>then 2 month wait for a half-hearted redid from scratch in 3 months dlc
>after a 8 month wait since OOD
I am so fucking tired of waiting
>>531505719This happened because you chuds refused to join the pack. CA would be in a much better situation to fix the game if you had listened.
>>5315057192026 will make everything worth it.
More DLC and FLC in 2026 than all of 2022-2025 combined.
>>531506001I wonder if hyenas would have actually killed CA
>>531506179It would have been extremely painful.
>>531506179Honestly? To see CA deal with a concord level launch would have made it worth it.
Iโd feel like a dwarf striking out the biggest grudge in the book.
>>531506006so back to wh1 pace
Probably should have waited until I picked up a few more buffs and blue items but I impulse clicked the notification.
Time to pay Dad a visit.
>>531506393TODAY I REMIND THEM
>>531506595I hope that Medieval 3 and Warhammer 40K continue to have FLC content.
>>531506595tretch certainly was an experiment
I'm not quite sure what they were experimenting but I sure felt experimented on
>>531506595I forgot that the empire initially didn't have the 40 different wizards it has today
>>531507184The experiment was if they could release an absolute literal who character no one cares about and considering there are people that defend him as a good LL they succeeded, which is why we got shit like Cylostra.
>>531507562I enjoy playing tretch and cylostra
>>531507562tretch is more fun than whatever gaywad is your favorite lord
>>531507562Filtered
Literally whos are full of soul, the closest thing we have to the tabletop experience of painting your own guys and deciding their backstory

>>531508193she's a good daughter
>>5315075621) tretch is fun, not everyone needs ikits workshop
2) name a skaven flc that isnโt in as a dlc or thanquol who will be a dlc. No half dead pirate rat because this is before vcoast came out
>>531508013Literally never given how the game actually works.

>>531506454>Aranessaposter is back!
>>531508837>overrides throt who is the obvious moulder choice>good choice, but out of line with where wh2 was at the time. Most similar effort would be the gorgan which such efforted units didnโt come tilโ the end of the gameโs life>lol no
>>531509387>>lol noHe brought Ikit's leftovers and some OC units, if there ever was a bottom of the barrel DLC hero it's Snikch
>>531509525Imagine your face when the rats get another dlc with the endtime shit. Eshin itself doesn't have many units, but rats as a whole did and warranted him as a dlc.
>>531507562I've only played Tretch in TWW2 but I really enjoyed playing as him. I like that he's not overpowered. He's a fun character with amusing voice lines. Probably my favourite of all the Skaven legendary lords.
>>531509525Yeah but unlike Tretch who was and still is a literal who, Snikch is based and important in the lore
>>531506595Most of these are nothing rekins.
>>531509865Yeah, and he would've been a better fit for the FLC spot in the WH2 cycle, instead skaven got 3 DLCs where two of them were for Ikit
Our men flee the field of battle! This is a shameful display!
Are there any good Tilea/Estalia mods?
>>531507562>A literally whoThey were all literally who's because almost no total war player knew shit about WHFB until after the games had been out for a while and stirred up interest.
>>531510029>oh man our guys are living to fight another day, this sucks asswtf is his problem?
>>531495970 (OP)Do you guys think CA is going to make shit up for Aislinn?Since he cannot use mounts in his roleplaying rules do you think they will just make shit up and give him a merwyrm mount or if he is going to have zero mounts? I can't think of a single example of a character they gave a mount that can't use them in rules. Really very odd to pick him over lore important Caradryan the captain of anointed of asuryan who can use almost every single mount that high elves are missing from 8th edition.
Not every new LL needs some over the top mechanic with buttons and menus.
>ghorros warhoof
baseline beastmen mechanics. focuses on centigors
>tettoekko
baseline (reworked) ligger mechanics. focuses on skink oracles/priests
>kazador dragonslayer
already in game. baseline dwarf mechanics, gets a reverse of the confederation event that thorek has (recall the expedition) as his 'special'.
All footnote ass characters, just picked em' off the top of my head. No fluff, no units or LHs, no nothing. Don't even make em' strong or whatever, god forbid a playable character has to actually play a few turns before winning the campaign.
Those three guys, unique models (hint, they're all generic units or characters in-game with a fancy hat or w/e), unique voices, personal skill lines, an item or 2, a faction flag, a character select movie, and steal some npc faction of their race's start pos. Honestly, even the quest battles are optional, most people don't even like em'.
A team of 5 modders with a clue and the right tools can bang that out in a week.
I'll pay $5 for it right now. As would any of you.
Explain why CA hasn't been pumping out theses every like 3 weeks since Hyenas flopped.
Mournguls tearing apart longbeards is heals me as it heals them
>>531510957Helves are missing mounts? Are there any that are not in the game?
Speaking of sieges how will sieges work on 40k
>>531511217>I'll pay $5 for it right now. As would any of you.I would not pay 5 dollars for a lord with no units or unique mechanics. You are basically saying they should charge for FLC fodder. How about a very personal and deep fuck you. If they want to release 5 dollar packs are the bare minimum it needs to include unique mechanics for the legendary lord, include a legendary hero, and either a generic hero or lord plus one unit. That is the absolute bare minimum for five bucks.
>>531511217>Not every new LL needs some over the top mechanic with buttons and menus.I agree, but I'm more concerned about the ones who do have them turning their campaigns into mindless god mode. IMO the best campaigns, whether they are complex or not, are the ones that come with both benefits and drawbacks that push you to adapt.
It got shat on for years, but Cult of Sotek is one of my favorites for this reason.
>>531511574Like Wood Elf sieges do now. More defensive positions but no walls or gates.
I like LL that
>promote your faction from building a certain way, expanding a certain way, etc on the campaign map
>change how you build armies in a significant way
I don't like LL that
>have a minimal impact globally
>buff your LL's army massively but don't do much beyond that
>>531511296Flamespyre Phoenix
Frostheart Phoenix (Caraydran's main mount)
Tiranoc Chariot
Skycutter of Lothern
Since Caradryan is the legendary version of the missing generic lord Anointed of Asuryan they also use the phoenixes as their mounts. Chariot might be FLC in the patch since nearly all the generic lords for high elves can use them.
>>531511608you realize existing flcs are baked into the price of the dlcs they accompany? It's soft marketing for the dlc and the basegame and other dlcs by proxy. To drive up playercount.
I'm not saying they'd otherwise be flc. I'm saying I'd pay for these otherwise neverevers with no frills or fat.
>>531495970 (OP)Total war anime when?
>>531511980What about LL that
>teleports?
>>531512324Yeah I like that
I'm excited to play Oxyotl because it seems comfy
>>531498634I've been saying it all along but you can't fix sieges as long as players have the speedrunning tranny mindset where waiting even one turn to siege a settlement is unacceptable slowdown. even if they completely revamp sieges so that every buildable weapon and emplacement has fun interactions that dictate the outcome of the battle more than who can spam vortex spells into blobs the hardest people will still complain because they won't want to stop to build them. it's really an unfixable problem because you can't get rid of the mindset without driving away the players who refuse/don't know how to play any other way.
>>531512675>you can't fix sieges as long as players have the speedrunning tranny mindset where waiting even one turn to siege a settlement is unacceptable slowdownthank you legendoftotalwar
ruined the series at a fundamental level by being autistic
I want
>every offensive siege to be a challenge with high rewards
>every defensive siege to be a challenge with high rewards
I want a shitty garrison to wipe out a full enemy stack whilst my stack manages to take out a city with defensive buildings and a full stack sitting inside with minimal causalities
That's what made Shogun 2 and FOTS so much fun
>>531511217>I'll pay $5 for it right now. As would any of you.i would pay one dollar tops for legendary lords with no unique mechanics and only if it also included a legendary hero.
>>531511608like this guy said...this is the minimum if they want five bucks
Dzam thats a lot of firepower. Would be a shame if I cast 2x WoD (Wind of Deers)
>>531513101Why have I seen this same picture posted here a hundred times?
I don't understand, how is this a meme?
Is CA spaghetti code such that the only way they could buff it's duration was to give it a secondary effect that buffs it's duration?
>>531513237Sounds like schizophrenia frend.
>>531513101>cheating with undead spellcasters>cheating with allied *lf recruitmentstop posting you're been completely exposed as a fraud.
>>531512675Actually sieging a settlement:
>garrison takes damage so you end up not needing the siege equipment you're building>makes it more likely an enemy army comes along forcing a field battle>makes it possible to move over another army so that you can autoresolve the fight anyway>you're literally not playing the game unless there's another army somewhere else fighting other battlesThey should lean into speedrunning trannies more and make the building power 10 times faster so that you can have a bunch of siege equipment after waiting a single turn.
>>531513638mp/sp item split, probably
tormentor sword is already strong as hell in mp so they just add the +duration to the sp one rather than needing to maintain two versions of the ability "tormentor sword"
>>531512675Sieges are doomed in the fast-moving game of Warhammer. This isn't Rome or medieval anymore where crossing the map took very long and the enemy reinforcing was just as unlikely. In Warhammer armies are just too fast for a Siege system that takes as long as it currently does.
>>531514282I can believe this answer.
You would think its not that hard to make MP version of the item that isn't in the campaign spawn pools, and just put that on MP characters, but maybe its a consistency thing they decided.
If we get a new Bretonnian faction I hope their faction insignia doesn't contain red, blue, or yellow.
>>531512675>>531512881The AI can clear sieges in 1 turn and their replenishment cheats mean they never take damage, if the AI never spends more than 1 turn on sieges, why should I?
Its not just the sieges, the AI, the autoresolve, the computer bonus to recruitment and replenishment, the tweaks to fuck over Legend's playstyle, all come together to make sieges miserable and force the player to either play the game handicapped to the AI, or forced to exploit it.
Azhag is the only GS LL I've yet to play. I'll start his campaign today. What's he like, bros? Have you enjoyed playing him?
>>531516001He is really good at slaughterering.
>>531516001He's got the most op WAAAGH ability so long as you're not fighting unbreakable or undead units. It's really funny how often you win the battle instantly after pressing the button.

Yes, sometimes Asur children get raped by random psychos but to think that there was a giant network of Slaanesh cultists around the world is such conspiracy tier nonsense.

How the FUCK do I play Mazdamundi? Do I just sit province by province until I have full walls on every settlement? It's like 6 turns to upgrade a settlement and with enemies on both sides I just keep walking back and forth retaking minor settlements around Hexoatl, my buildings are all built super slow and my economy is ass. Literally everywhere Mazdamundi isn't one and a half armies attack the single second I push past it, and if I don't push past it they've got 3 stacks ready to sail the world over to find the settlement still recuperating from the last 3 stacks. This Geomantic Web shit is supposed to make it less ass but I can't keep the goddamn settlements

>>531513861>They should lean into speedrunning trannies more and make the building power 10 times faster so that you can have a bunch of siege equipment after waiting a single turn.>lean into speedrunning trannies>waiting a single turn Every LL has siege attacker or starts with a siege attacker unit. There's no such thing as waiting a turn to build shit in the speed-tranny community.
>>531515738>The AI can clear sieges in 1 turn and their replenishment cheats mean they never take damage, if the AI never spends more than 1 turn on sieges, why should I?Did they change something then because the AI almost never attacks walls on the same turn unless they vastly outpower the defenders.
Part of the issue with sieges and total war in general post Rome 2 are the replenishment and garrison systems.
In older Total Wars, making a costly assault on the same turn would mean you're trapped with a battered army inside a city but in nu-Total War you spawn in a garrison the moment you take the city and replenish 50% over the end-turn so it's actually beneficial in almost all cases even if there's a large enemy army nearby.
Walls doing nothing in this game is only 1 problem out of many.
>>531551762>>531553507Oh, unit XP goes up to 10 in 3K? I had no fucking clue what that number was as a result, I thought it was how much they were buffed by the general or something. Plus I'm used to unit XP being represented by chevrons.
The biggest issue Wawa 3 has are the tiny ass maps, an issue that extends to the sieges and spells not working with walls except for a few notable exceptions.
>>531555958the siege map where you start in range of the enemy towers no matter where you deploy is particularly egregious, think its one of the greenskin ones
>>531537553Jack Lusted killed 3K for 3K2-but-not-really-a-sequel with a new visual style. The thing that killed 3K might be even dead as well, I will never forgive him.
>>531500872>>531501430Why do you think the game would be easier with this change? Plenty of times you can blitz a major settlement while the AI has their army elsewhere
>>531556106They said they will change some maps, first of the batch will include a orcs one. I think they forgot to call them GreenskinsTM. GW is probably gonna revoke the license.
I think this game also need more siege and field maps overall. It's a damn shame that one-wall settlements maps are stuck in WH1-2.

I haven't fought a single battle in 18 turns in my supposed Drazhoath WC campaign. First I had to move my armies from the Silver Pinnacle all the way to The Black Fortress and then recruit 19 elite units for Drzahoath's endgame army and some missing ones for a Chorf warrior + blunderbuss midgame army while also finalizing Gorduz's stack (8 sneaky gits, I hate myself so much now) having no other recruitment province. In the meanwhile Kholek dec'd on me just one turn shy of my researching the +20 relations with WoC tech, so I again had to rush all the way up to the Challenge Stone. In the meanwhile, my erstwhile ally Greasus tried to take Zharr Naggrund DESPITE THE FACT THAT KUGATH WHO WE BOTH HATED WAS RIGHT THERE, causing us to break all our pacts with each other but not being able to dec on one another for 15+ turns. Luckily he hasn't taken ZN yet. Now Kholek's suing for peace but I'm gonna kick his ass and take his resources and make a corridor between myself and the other Chorfs, then peace him out and go for Greasus. I couldn't just dec on a hugeass Tretch or Ungrim to the west in the meanwhile, that would be suicide.

>>531546475incorrect. Trebuchets usually don't have enough ammo to clear a whole front and you'll usually have to pick between a larger gap in the wall or removing the fucking gatling gun towers. They do make sieges a lot easier/comfortable but they are also tye most expensive unit for most of the campaign and also slow down your army significantly.
>>531559747aiiieee delete this!

>>531559506>not european setting
Are Bretonnia worth playing
>>531559891Only Ulrika will do it by stealing clothes.
The thing is, I do not want to go to Cathay as the Chorfs, which is why I hesitated to dec on Kugath, despite the lure of the Dragon's Teeth and factory ports. I can prop up Kugath as my border guard for a while but he has to dec on someone, and the Chinks are ungodly powerful. Again I'm gonna go slogging through fucking Cathay until turn 150 then break into the Empire only when they've got infinite landship spam stacks.
I could go back to turn 45 but I do not want to go against Ungrim with nothing but 2 early game hobgoblin stacks, that would suck ass.
Does the warhammer game have the most loyal fans when it comes to video games?

Is there a fucking limit to how many chaos furies that a herald can spawn or is it infinite?
also, I'm experimenting with Overseers for Chorf warrior/blunderbuss armies cause they have a skill right off the bat where they give all Chorf infantry +20 armor and 5% upkeep reduction. Not being magic users, you can go right ahead to the red line to give your frontline a further +12 armor and 6 MD, and since I've also got frenzy on all the melee infantry that makes them into absolute beasts. Plus, the lammasu they get now silences wizards as you duel them, which is cool. Also, I have not had a single convoy battle event despite sending out 15 or so convoys. I think they might be bugged.
>>531559825>slow down your army significantlyunit type doesn't affect army speed anymore
>>531560521Why donโt you sell Kugathโs territory to the chinks? That should keep them off your backs the rest of the game. Might even get a vassal treaty
>>531546475>add unit specifically designed to help with sieges to your army>sieges are actually manageable and fighting them out early is an option vs waiting several turns>however your army is now slower and you sacrifice a unit that might be better in field battlesYes, zoomer, you see earlier TW games actually had decision making when it came to planning out your armies, not just spamming trash that you can cheese the AI with into spamming high tier units that you can stat check the AI with

>>531561685is there a chance at all that they add the final part of the world or are they so sunk that they cant get the investment to make it
>>531561176to be fair, you are playing the most egregiously broken faction in terms of Cavalry, which itself is really overtuned in 3k to begin with. But yeah, cav feels really nice in 3k. Honestly, Idk why but I feel like 3k's combat in general feels really fucking nice and tight.
>>531562127unit speed does and artillery weapons are the slowest units in the game. Recruiting even one Trebuchet will reduce your campaign range by like 20%
>>531562682>and you sacrifice a unit that might be better in field battlesin 3k, it turns out trebuchets are also probably the single strongest unit in the game, but yeah, the speed cost is very real
What do you guys think? Autoresolve or fight it out?
>>531564365Sun Jian is broken in terms of cavalry? I chose him because he looked like he had a fun starting position and because of Sun Ren, didn't know he was that broken in terms of cav. The main menu says he only has mercenary cav in terms of unique units so I assumed the other factions get cataphracts as well.
>>531564365why did everyone lie to me and say that all cavalry armies don't move any faster than any other composition now? are you sure this is real? if it was it would mean that dwarfs and vampire coast are permanently slower than any other faction no matter what they recruit.
new tomb kings units when?
>>531564710his son Sun Ce literally doubles all shock cav charge bonus faction wide. Even the cheapest cav unit in the game will have comparable charge damage to elite end game cavalry units withoout the speed hit that comes with higher armour values....
>>531564759I'm talking about 3k.
>>531564381>Low casualtiesI couldnt do that with low casualties. Too many SEMs + Nurgle artillery, but then again I'm not that skilled.
>>531561685idk why they cut off so much of north america
>>531565076Is that only if Sun Ce is faction leader? He's of age but my man Sun Jian is still alive and conquering southern China. I've seen an event where he dies as other factions so I'm honestly surprised he's still alive. I kept the imperial seal instead of giving it to the two fuckheads who asked for it so no idea if it had something to do with that.
>>531565334all the big boy buffs are active from faction leader/heir/prime minister roles and he is your heir by default
>>531565401Huh, then I guess that partly explains why my cataphracts are doing so well. I'm playing on records mode, does that effect anything? I also saw that Sun Ce had a different faction mechanics from Sun Jian in other starts, does heroism disappear for that when Sun Jian finally dies?
>>531559590Early on Assault Units isnt that good, but when maxed and you get the bonus trait from using it, it'll shave ~25% off the entire army. It used to be my go to skill in WH1 where your important armies needed agent bodyguard to defend them from enemy agents.
>>531565602faction mechanic stays as the one you start with it never changes during a campaign
records mode makes fatigue more punishing but i cant really tell how much that impacts the game because i only play records mode aswell
>>531565602>that partly explains why my cataphracts are doing so well.yeah you're probably pushing 800 charge bonus which is fucking insane. Cav is still incredibly strong anyway even without Sun Ce though.
> I'm playing on records mode, does that effect anything? not really, that's the best part about Sun Jian/Ce is that they barely lose anything going to records. If anything you can make a very strong case that Sun Ce is the most powerful character records character since his main source of power has nothing to do with unique abilities or personal fighting prowess.
>I also saw that Sun Ce had a different faction mechanics from Sun Jian in other starts, does heroism disappear for that when Sun Jian finally dies?no, you keep heroism. You only get Sun Ce's faction mechanic if you start as him, which btw his faction mechanics are both some of the most fun, dynamic, and it's also the most broken fucking shit. Like seriously unbalanced.
>CA Sofia's postgame support for Pharaoh
"Yeah we added mesopotamia, couple new factions and ported over entire Troy map for free in a couple of months"
>CA Sofia gets moved to work on Warhammer support
"Yeah here's reworked Kislev tech tree, mechanics, new garrison sally ability and reworked Atamans. We'll also be shortly reworking all siege maps, removing assladders and overhauling siege AI to account for that"
>Meanwhile at CA at UK
"One paid dlc per year is haaaaaard please cut us some slack we have mental health issues :("
Why not just move the entire development to Sofia? They seem to handle things a lot better
>>531566052>>531566078Cheers, anons. I might do Sun Ce someday but his faction mechanic looked bonkers (raise this meter or die) so if it changed to that this campaign I'd need to prepare. I love cavalry so it's kind of funny that I chose the cavalry faction accidentally. None of the other factions have pulled me in as much as this one. I tried Cao Cao but I must be dumb because his mechanics were too big brained for me.
>>531565142Yeah apparently I'm bad at the game or something. But no full regiment losses at least.
>>531566465Good job for going through with it nonetheless. I find autoresolving sucks the fun out of the game, since even difficult battles can often be simply statchecked away.
>>531566212Sofia is also developing the DLC
>>531566212The grim reality is that Sofia should've been put on 3K support to finish off the game post-Troy, developed experience with that branch of their engine, then used it to make their own historical all while the brits make 3K2. Would've satisfied all parties, but no.
>>531566418>Cheers, anons. I might do Sun Ce someday but his faction mechanic looked bonkers (raise this meter or die)It's really good. His faction has like 3 seperate mechanics where most factions have like 1 and they are all insanely strong. It's really not too difficult to keep the bar up if you focus on it and as you complete his legacy of wu stuff you permanetly decrease the decay of the bar until eventually it passively increases. Oh and also for no reason even though it's not a scholarly themed faction it's also by far the most powerful xp boosting faction in the game. Try it out. It's super fun as a power fantasy type campaign.
>I tried Cao Cao but I must be dumb because his mechanics were too big brained for me.Yeah. Ironically it's probably the only faction you can make an argument that is as strong or stronger than Sun Ce's, but it's a lot trickier to use and you kinda need a lot.more.game kniwledge to unock his full potential. Really busted too though.
Is there even a doomed campaign anymore, where you trully struggle for survival at the start? Maybe the skrolk?
Ever cause a chain rout so sudden the music doesn't have time to switch and the hordes of enemy Chosen of Khorne run away while shouting DESTROYYYY, feels good right? Chaoscels and their chaos wank killing the setting, getting what they fucking deserve.
>>531566212Br*tish just half asses in everything they do
The fact How they even managed to conquer half the world baffles me
>>531569656Grom, you get fucked from all sides by Orion, Nkari, Eltharion, Alarielle, and possibly Ikit and Morghur too.
>>531569656Is Khatep's hierotitan still gone?
>>531569656Thorgrim. You have to take out both Skarsnik and Gorbad before their waaaghs grow too big. And you only got like 10 turns before Queek, Tretch and Azhag becomes a problem as well. You will settle alot of grudges though so you will get some respite at turn 15 but after that you will have to deal with Skarbrand, Vlad, chorfs and maybe Imrik as well.
Highly recommend this campaign
>Yuan Shu
Should I be buddies with Sun Jian or go after the yellow turbans first?
>>531570540>>531571326interesting thank you!
>>531571221litteraly never played him in my 2k hours
>>531571350are you talking about the liu biao dilemma?
>>531495970 (OP)I love trying to play Nuln and watching as Thorgrim, Ungrim, and Karl get fucking bodied when in the previous game I played as Kislev, the three of them were basically gods.
>>531571867Yes, do these dilemmas actually reward me anything or is it just to nudge me in a direction?
>>531571929this one is basically just donyou want to go to war immediately with Liu Biao or pretty much guarantee war with Sun Jian in the next 20-30 turns and give up what is likely your only possible ally.
Going for Liu Biao opens up a new expansion direction that's really soft and has some pretty great territories (West/southwest) and you'll most likely have to fight him anyway sooner or later because he hates you, but he's a pretty tough fight this early on.
Personally, I usually go for Liu Biao's land and expand west and ignore the yt since land to the east in not that great, but that's not the easier path....
>>531571929oh and to answer the general question: yes a lot of these dilemmas do have actual gameplay bonuses/malus but this one doesn't. Also beware when you eventually get the decision to claim aspirations of emperorship because that Yuan Shu event broken and ifnyou declare intentions to become emperor you will get all the penalties without the buff it says it gives your faction.
also also, relating to Yuan Shu specifically, his faction mechanic states that vassals provide legitimacy. This is wrong. They do not.

>>531571916When playing as Katarin, I often have to make a stack to deal with Drycha and Vlad but then the Empire fixes everything else.

>>531498634They are not โcompletely fineโ but they are certainly over hated. But there should definitely be higher risks of using them. As far as I am concerned, a unit of swordsmen should be able to hold of a unit of chosen trying to scale the walls if thereโs no additional interference
>>531591594Fast as fuck, boy.
Units are split into defensive bottoms and aggressive tops.
Ulthuan start is difficult, but doable so long as you know how to micro and never auto resolve.
Less ranged options than even Khorne.
It's turn 27 of my chaos dwarf playthrough and right now I'm just razing everything for materials, not even bothering with empire building because I can't afford any buildings for back home to begin with
>>531590234no because they are actually good
>>531592921I have never sacked or razed a single settlement in 300+ hrs playing as the Chorfs. Post campaign map.
>>531592921Disgraceful. You gotta spend money to make money. Those factories and labour camps are an investment. Yes thereโs a chance they will be razed, but thatโs what insurance exists for (insurance being you taking everything the offender owns)
>>531592602They are live!
Arbaal has the most powerful campaign mechanics in the history of Total War.
>>531593375This. I never raze unless it's a shitty climate, which is never a problem for chorfs.
>>531592741My experience is that the ladders are so hated because they favor the AI. As a player, trying to use ladders fucking sucks and I almost never bother. I've got a whole city to take and wasting my strength/vigor on the walls is almost never helpful to that end.
But the AI players advantage is usually numbers and not giving a shit about casualties so they will climb the walls every time with lopsided success and generally make defending the walls at all pointless.
So the end result is your average/casual player wants the ladders removed because they are purely an annoyance for them that prevents them from fighting defensive siege battles they way they want to and not an advantage.
The problem of course is that the AI may genuinely be fucked without the ladders that only really exist as a way to keep the AI from being hopelessly outmatched in siege battles to begin with. Yeah yeah I know they'll let you make more siege equipment but that may not make as much of a difference as you would expect, especially in the hands of the retarded AI.

Think it just gives you - relation to Khorne factions AKA who fucking cares and Khorne faction gets fed so many of those + faction followers anyway to offset it. Wish they'd bring back the 'you lose the game' thing.
>>531593785>they favor the AII feel the opposite. Itโs very easy to take advantage of the ai defending the walls if you have a wizard or a flying monster. The issue is that thereโs no incentive to defend the walls. Most of the times the ai will outnumber you, so you wonโt have enough troops to defend every single segment. So the ai will get in and start capturing points, at which point you ask yourself โwhy am I using my entire army to defend the walls when I could be using 1/4th of my army to defend this chokepoint?โ.

larger streets would fix sieges
>>531602436Because itโs a playtest? They want to remove the siege attacker trait by allowing you to always attack settlements. In doing so you have to rely solely on breaking down the gates, which is not always the best choice
>>531603360literally doesn't change anything
>Skarbrand may keep the Siege Attacker
>>531595353it's shit, you need to be sneaky with them and pull out flanking maneuvers
maybe that'd work in other titles but Shogun 2 is the game where battles are over in 5 minutes so it rarely works out
just my opinion
who is this no cap for real?
>they may add instant siege equipment to some skills
Sounds neat, that's what should be done.
THEY ARE FOCUSING ON AUTORESOLVE NEXT
>>531603806good
it literally gives you more xp and gold than fighting the battle out and doesn't delete half your army like in 2
>>531603806doesn't have anything to do with sieges
Skarbrand is a sissy, of course he shouldnt have siege attacker
>>531603527It totally change things if you want to stay back and shoot/mortar the settlement.
If I was fixing autoresolve I would make it so it can only happen if the enemy is so much weaker than you that none of your units can perish
HOWEVER this would require fixing AI cheats so that it won't have 10 shartillion armies out of air
>mono god demons are literally part of the chaos god's strength, another representation of their power, similar to the whatever realm they've carved out
>supposedly never able to betray or even desire to
>tzeentch convinced skarbrand to make the WORST decision in ALL demon history
?????????
>>531604408Just more typical Tzeentch wankery by some writer/s. That's the issue with warhammer lore and books, it has a constant rotation of a lot of writers and they vary quite a lot. Even 40k has had this issue for decades where originally marines were plentiful (pre-HH), then post-HH they were scarce and precious, but now they're who gives a shit there are nu-marines in town.
New unusual locations, 20 or more.
>>531604408Skarbrand was punished for failing, not for attacking
>>531604734As long only Ordertide get it then itll be based desu
So why they didnt add a slider for campaign cheats like they did for battle cheats yet?
>>531605008skarbrand was punished for attacking like a coward instead of head on ACKSHUALLY
I'm 100% sure that a lot of people will say "IT WAS BETTER BEFORE" after the siege "rework"

>>531605176I'm 100% sure that they'll be right.
>>531604408It is perfectly natural for the son to try and usurp the father. Skarbrand wasnโt punished for trying to overthrow Khorne, he was punished for failing. Thatโs why Khorne will never forgive Skarbrand no matter how many skulls he brings. If he wants his fatherโs forgiveness, he has to finish what he started
How was the stream? Did they tell Arch Warhammer to go fuck himself again?
>>531605907Essentially nothing changed except now you can turn off ladders and instead have them as siege quipment
>>531605835uh no
skarbrand was shaken like the child he was because he let a chicken tell him to attack the god of war while his back is turned. whatever opportunity you're talking about will never exist for skarbrand because he failed the shit test so unbelievably bad its hysterical. kugath, nkari, and kairos all job too but none are as embarassing as skarbrand and that includes nkari being raped by dark elves

Skarbrand can't kill Khorne because Skarbrand is also made of Khorne lmao

I haven't played Skaven in a while, why do I keep getting these followers as Queek when random factions die? The only mod I'm using that adds stuff is VCO, is it from that? I don't remember seeing this before.
>>531606904VCO adds a lot of stuff like that, yeah.
I think it does it for factions that your victory condition wants you to kill.
>>531606904That's from a cheat.
>>531575091that "fairplay" mod just makes the game difficulty normal but your game says its very hard to make you feel better about yourself
>>531558951>but are still part of the immatereumThey aren't until they die
Also chaos "gods" (or niggers as I call them) aren't the masters of the immaterium they claim to be or get to be in 40k
wtf i love defending in sieges
>>531607119you were right, the other two followers I found are Beastmen and Tomb Kings related so it has to be this
mostly been focusing on the darklands, but these followers are pretty sick I might need to kill them next
You guys ever go back to Warhammer 2? I feel like it might be better for the races that are from it, having more unique objectives there. Also is there anything in WH1 worth going back for?

>Hag Merchant stopped spawning 80 turns ago
>Have no way to unlock the last cooking slot now
I hate this game
>>531606098Khorne wants to taste defeat. And not just any defeat, a defeat that he personally recognizes as legitimate. And the greatest defeat would be from your own flesh and blood. Skarbrand failed at this, not just because he was too weak but because he was manipulated into a fight he couldnโt win. Thatโs why Khorne does nothing but laugh at Skarbrand during the end of the RoC campaign. Skarbrand has the power to ascend and usurp all the chaos gods, but instead he freely gives it away just to get forgiveness. Khorne realizes he was wrong to have any hope for Skarbrand and that his defeat is nowhere in sight, it would have been better to let Belakor win

>>531607679>Also is there anything in WH1 worth going back for?VC before powercreep is a really neat faction. You're actually encouraged to build corpse carts and make use of Zombie hordes to rack up high casualty battle sites.
Chaos warriors/Beastmen before their significant powercreep is also a nice experience however Chaos warriors (the unit) can't really perform because they're as slow as a dwarf despite being a 7' chad for some reason.
Norsca is probably an even bigger winner than VC from going back to WH1 because it really feels like they're in their natural habitat here and they have really cool race-specific missions, win conditions and faction mechanics.
All order-tide factions are too strong in WH1 so they might not be as enjoyable.
The best thing about WH1 compared to all the others is that their main campaign (endtimes chaos invasion) is actually the most well made and immersive out of the bunch where you get the feeling of impending doom when Archaon and his goons finally come on to the scene (unllike in following games where your powercrept armies stomp him easily).
>>531616750Maps should simply be too big to get artillery to them or get archers/handgunners to them before cav can reach them
>>531595353the only real use case for ninjas is that they dont take fall damage (units falling off walls) when attacking castles, so no they are not incredibly useful
>>531617151I don't understand why the big engame crisis in WH3 isn't a chaos invasion

Can someone help me create a cheat mod for Pharaoh Total War? I am trying to create a mod that gives the player 20% upkeep reduction. But I don't know how. I tried dowloading anotehr mod of the workshop which reduces the upkeep by 50% and tried atjusting it myself with the pack file manager but now the mod just crashes the game on start up. I am too retarded for this.
>>531620353eceleb videos about the development of the game are better than looped waifufag posts
>>531621069Make sure you got the packfile manager set to the correct version when you save. Also are you changing the mod in the workshop folder? Or are you creating a copy and saving to your data folder?
>>531618172Welcome to modern gaming.
>>531619347the Hittites were clearly a remnant of the Hyperempire
>>531621258I downloaded the mod file and copied it over from the workshop folder so it doesnt get overwritten. Then i dragged the mod file into the pack file manager where you can change the numbers.
It says dependency cache not generated down there.
>>531621674Do you have the pack file manager set to Pharaoh?
>>531621674Click 'special stuff', under which you'll want to click 'generate dependencies cache'
Make sure you have the right game selected in the manager beforehand.
>>531621976I don't know. I pressed on game selected up there and chose pharaoh dynasties. but it just unselects the mod i want to change.
what in the goddamn i dont even hold luoyang
>>531622081It returned this but afterwards seems to have generated the dependencies cache. Should I change the numbers in the mod now?
>>531622301Install the assembly kit and just make the mod there while you're at it.
>>531621976>>531622081>>531622562nvm it did work. Thanks a bunch guys.
>>531622225Should have thought of that before you had a daughter, cuckold
>>531621069>>531622301The dependencies cache isn't an issue, you don't have to actually generate it. I make mods without one all the time.
The problem is probably that you're using a bad effect. Look in db.pack or data.pack for the big table with all the effects, and grab one from there that changes upkeep across the whole faction. There's probably also one that effects the AI in the campaign difficulty handicap table already, so you can just steal that.
Also, make sure you're not using the mod you took a table name from at the same time as your mod

Think about this:
What if they removed Siege Attacker from all Legendary Lords? I think that'd really help the early game in Immortal Empires because it'd force those powerful legendary factions to slow down and deal smartly with an enemy who has a fortified settlement. You have to raid and harass until you unlock artillery. You can't just launch an assault on turn 1 or turn 2 unless you sit and besiege them with your ladders which would wipe out your early army. So instead you have to leave them alive and figure out how to use them for XP, income, etc.

>>531625095guy even correctly predicted they would be added to the tabletop game while the "lore experts" screeched at him that the old world was just the empire and would never include cathay lmao
>>531625470Adding it to all LLs was a mistake, though ones like the demon lords that could realistically bash down gates should have it.
>>531625095...I think that might literally be my post
>>531612778it is kino
DONG'd
>>531625837I dunno, if it took the intervention of God himself and 7 days of marching to knock down the walls of Jericho why should some piddly Greater Daemon be able to bash in some gates? Maybe give them spells from their patron God to do something in sieges instead like
>SlaaneshSeduce and take over units within walls so you can cap gate points
>KhorneSome rain of fire from the sky to break through a gatehouse or wall section
>NurgleDOT aura that damages gatehouse and walls
>TzeentchCap any single point on the map.
/twg/ will never understand my tactical genius
>>531625837This. Siege Attackers should be on LLs that are equivalently sized to monsters with Siege Attacker, it would be retarded for Skarbrand not to have it when regular Bloodthristers do.
Moderately sized LLs like Skrag or Nakai should have it slotted in somewhere in their skill tree, probably added 'for free' to an existing skill, probably like the middle 'dividing' skills on either the blue or yellow lines.
Human sized LLs will need to get on a monstrous mount and if they don't have one, too bad.
>>531626758dwarf ass rat
play like a skaven you shitter
>>531626928So what you're saying is Dwarfs cannot attack Ork strongholds, but Grimgor and his ilk can do it freely.
How is Thoreks campaign? He's the only dwarf campaign I haven't played
>>531627156It's fine? I tried playing it when the Dwarfs got their first update and it was okay. The unique items are useful. But otherwise it's just another dwarf campaign.
>>531627156I hope you like spamming Quarrellers because you are surrounded by enemies, need to be aggressive and Thorek buffs them into endgame units
can somebody please qrd the twitch interview
>>531627156Havenโt tried it in 3. But definitely one of the more unique dorf campaigns
Crossbows are actually really cheap to make, cheaper to make than some of you realize, the same goes for Halberds, how are Crossbowmen and Halberd units not T0 and T1 units
Med3 will come next year, 40k in 2027 to both let it cook a bit more and give more room for them to finish Fantasy Warhammer properly.
They'll still release smaller (single lord) DLC here and there for fantasy, just to maintain the players also free reworks here and there.
Sofia will work on Med3 DLC and 40k DLC goes back to the usual rich team.
>>531627760small family company please understand
why does it seem like at least half of the big problems with the game come from the fact that mechanics were designed with the idea that armies would be roughly equal in value but then the loudest part of the playerbase insists on using cheats that give the ai tons of free shit?
>>531627871I stopped thinking tiers make any sense once I saw ligma riders being in T5
>>531627156pretty fun, he was the first campaign I tried after 6.2 to try out the new items since he can craft a lot, you can get really strong characters even by dwarf standards as Thorek
being able to stack banner runes is nice as well
