Thank you based retard AI...
>>531634243I'm not sure there's a best, I generally like all of them and they all have something to bring to the table except for Empire's and Warhammer and the latter is objectively the worst.
>>531634418>>531634808Please kill each other so I can play the victorโs recommendation
>>531634941Probably because she wanted to hire a professional but the guy refused to cough up a 100โฌ
>auto resolve says I lose the ambush I'm laying
>I play it
>I lose like a 100 guys and the enemy barely stands a chance
Auto resolve hates beastmen, huh?
>>531636445Autoresolve assumes their artillery/backline will spend half their ammo before you even get close
>>531636445A campaign's fun is directly tied to the autoresolve
Beastmen have to actually fight most of their battles and therefore get to use the silly stuff and ambush everyone so it's a fun campaign
how does autoresolve actually work? I think it should basically just pair units up and calculate who would win if they walked towards each other and attacked until one was routing or dead.
>download mod that moves skrag to the northern mountains of mourn

why are chaos warriors and chaos dwarfs so much weaker than empire chads?
>>531637017Probably compares melee unit counts, armor vs weapon damage, leadership and tier of the units.
>>531633884 (OP)The Motherland requires your service.

>go rooting around for the sword of khaine early
>grom has already invaded and beaten eltharion

holy fuck
>>531640125It's easier than ever now that abandoning settlements is a base game mechanic, you can just inspect the ruins and revive their faction.
>>531641309>you can just inspect the ruins and revive their faction.Oh wow I did not know that, ~800 hours later...
>>531636921the people are restive

>>531645540>>531645610Arbaal the Unaccomplished

>>531645540that just means you need to play more total war
>>531645610kairos or changer... tzeentch is hope, change and ambition...
uh oh looks like it's time for poopie
On the thought of more defensive buildings for your settlements, among them should be some sort of anti magic walls you build on the settlement or at least defensive totems you can build during the siege that add a wide range miscast base chance. No matter what happens during this siege rework, a decently leveled flying wizard will still make quick work of the defender's garrison.
I finally played nkari and I love it
Didnt know I needed to play a gotta go fast army until now
What are some other speedy gonzales armies?
>>531646154>act of dominance>bodily functions>human toilet>beastiality>anthro>male on male>ncs
>>531646581ogres are quick because everybody has 50+ speed
>>531641134orcs always win unless they're fighting dwarfs because just like vampires shitting out free full stack armies whenever they want makes the AI unable to beat them
>>531646581>by defaultBeastmen
Wood Elves
Bretonnia
>can be played that wayDark Elves
Skaven
i fucking love killing orcs
On one hand, Very Hard can often be very fun.
On the other hand, sometimes on very hard it feels like the AI cheats twice as hard and I don't understand how you can have three armies on one settlement.
>>531647597because they are cheating twice as hard, ai gets a discount on units
>>531647997I AM LUTHER HARKON!
>>531647597Very Hard is bullshit tier
Wish they gave us sliders for campaign cheats (upkeep, control, etc) instead of the item rework that didnt change at all how people play

hi guys new player here, why is luther harkon so bad?
>>531649807i hate fat chicks
people only want to play on vh/legendary because they feel like it's more prestigious. they should rename the difficulties to very bald/retarded so people's egos will stop forcing them to play on it.
which race builds the most? i want to play tall ig
>>531649935This lord is Tamurkhan.
>>531650029This lord is Morathi.
>>531650236I don't think imperial guard are going to be able to play tall, all those bodies have to come from somewhere
>not sigvald

>A level 40 hero can be wounded at all
Shameful.
>>531650236Dorfs with their self-undercities
I feel for lubbers exploring treasure islands for the first time and getting slapped with the dreaded triple leviathan stack.
>>531633884 (OP)SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!
>>531651341I fear for those not smart enough to put some cannons in their army and target the large unit, too.
>>531651618Empire is getting a DLC and FLC in 2026.
>ambushing a beastman army
Doesn't that just mean you'll start close to them like how they want?
>>531650236Dwarfs, Wood Elves and Warriors of Chaos.
bros... roasted walnuts with olive oil and salt
>>531651625Cannons are for sieges and pirate lounging only.
All other uses lower testosterone.
>>531651848If you're quick enough they won't get their charges off which is what they want. They'll also be the ones surrounded. Or alternatively, hide all your ranged on one side of the battle field and all your melee charging from the other. Or just simply sandwich them with your ranged shooting from the flank. Or just do it simply because ambushes give a global penalty to their stats for the first moments of the battle.
Getting ambushed is NEVER a good thing, doesn't matter that you're a melee centric army.
>>531651848You don't have a choice. If you don't ambush them and can't wipe them on the defense they'll just encamp again and pop up somewhere random with 12 new minotaurs.

the chinese ai cheat has proven to be a tough nut to crack, even with gelts cataclysmic goofiness, but mainland china will soon become imperial land
>>531652987Shantae really was made for porn.
>>531653474I really need to try Gelt and Franz. I haven't played Empire at all since the Thrones of Decay DLC.
>>531653784i've only ever played gelt and eslpeth
is it worth trying a karl franz campaign
How the fuck do you boost research rate as khorne
>>531654009Karl is cool if you want to feel like an underdog for the first 20 or so turns.
>>531651618THE BEACONS ARE LIT! KISLEV CALLS FOR AID!
>>531641485What is a Nightmaw? Why does it matter if it's an ability or an uncontrollable Chaos Spawn?
>>531654009Karl is probably the most challenging after Wulfhart, and he has a lot of abilities to make himself or his territory better. But he doesn't have a minigame like Elspeth or Gelt, and unlike Volkmar he doesn't really get rewards for holding the Empire together until/unless you start confederating Electors and getting their positions. But that's a hell of a lot easier than Volkmar chasing books and Wulfhart not being able to recruit top-tier units.
>>531654161Arise! Arise riders of Louen! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

rework maybe
What happened to you man? You used to be cool.
Why cant The Empire have Genoese Crossbowmen
>>531654026I don't think you can
>>531654009Hes the most fun imo, I only ever pick Franz when The Empire, Elspeth and Gelt are too easy to the point of boredom, Volkmar idc for the area hes in and Markus is unfun and difficult. I enjoy how fucked his start is compared to the rest tooz especially with AI potential on the greenskins to his North become a worrisome threat.
Why can't vampire counts teach zombies/skeletons to use bows but the vampire pirates can teach theirs to use fucking guns?

I find rouge demon price factions way more anoying and dangerous now since they can just pull tonns of max level RoRs out of their ass at an instant

>>531655415wh3 rogue factions don't get settled any more so it's kinda sad
there is one exception tho, if you play as g*lgfag and you get a contract from a rogue faction, you can actually gift them settlements just like wh2
idk if they expand from there tho
>>531656039Ocean magic, bro. You wouldn't get it.
>>531656686>Ocean magicReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>531656039Why don't Druchii use guns?
>>531656975they're european
>>531656039The pirates were gunners in life and died with their guns, they also seem way more intelligent than a zombie. Also having sailor training disciplined into them helps.
>>531656039Vampire counts zombie are puppeteers by magic. vampire pirates zombie are soul bounded corpse.
>>531657347You're right. None of the factions Vlad fights use guns after all.
>>531656039It's very much a thematic choice. You have to understand 2 things here:
1. The original dracula by bram stoker depicted dracula as an oriental tyrant, and the heroes who faced him as figures of western enlightenment and rationality, and that's a huge part of the book. So dracula and vampires are reactionary, they're not progressive. And that's why jade blooded vampires are pretty sensible as well.
2. The west identifies the piratical tradition with progressive forces. The ancient greeks were pirates. In ancient greece they would ask โAre you a trader or a pirate?" because piracy was very common. All of their heroes were pirates at some point, jason, odysseus. We have forgotten this but pirates used to be part of the western tradition and therefore on the side of progress.
>>531657776NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
>>531657776>reactionaryModern leftist propaganda detected, opinion disregarded.
>>531658072Here I'm using it as the opposite of progressive, leftists aren't the only ones capable of being "progressive" on an issue, and it's not like the french revolutionaries that coined were particularly leftist themselves. They're credited with creating modern nationalism.
>>531658389Yeah the French Revolution was hilarious once the wannabe commies got in charge.
>>531657638You could probably raise them and have them shoot but you'd have to put in way more effort keeping them animated and supplied if you wanted them to fight for more than one battle.
>>531657776I kinda doubt GW, the company of "orcs are football hooligans lmao red goes fasta" and "Imma name my viking raider stand in Gorefuck Killsmasher, worshipper of the god of blood and war" went for references that deep, anon.
Vampire Counts are just based on horror movie cliches and in those the monsters don't have guns. The heroes sometimes do. Whereas Vampire Pirates are based on Pirates of the Caribbean.
>>531657347They're basically still human. The building descs in game say they like hanging out in taverns after work drinking, singing shanties, playing cards, and orchestrating dog fights. In battle they'll insult their admiral calling her a pussy for using magic and are generally rebellious. The human pirate loading screen description says that if you pay them enough they'll be okay with fighting for you even after they die so death is a career path for them. It's all right there.
>>531656039Because Luthor Harkon was the greatest mage of our time, better than Teclis, Kairos and Mazdamundi combined.
>>531659453Isn't he also the greatest manslut of all time?
>>531658847Well that's my interpretation of it. It probably was ripping off potc but so what? We can read into things whatever we please. Also, it's not like they were completely ignorant of these sorts of influences. Pat Mills who was pretty significant in the creation of warhammer because he created judge dredd which was a huge influence, and also did a comic for warhammer monthly, was very much into history and celtic mythology for his own comics. Warhammer is downstream of history and mythology and a lot of decisions were made deliberately or unconsciously of that.
why do skellingtons have higher stats than zombies when a zombie is also a skellington (flesh armour)
>>531660051Zombie is more weighed down by his flesh armor than a skellington.
No unit has the right to look this good.
does the random start pos mod work with IEE?
>>531660492Why have leg armor but no shirts?
>>531659865I have no doubt that some writer at GW that's a history buff probably must have put in small details based on deeper references like that into books, probably a few into actual army books by writers that succeed so much they're allowed leeway, most into Black Library "only the most dedicated of nerds will find out about this" material.
But the kind of decisions that are stuff like "Don't give the Vampire Counts any ranged weapons" or "Make me a new faction based off of Vampire Counts but as pirates" is not based off that writer's passion for the origins of the vampire mythos, it's based off of CEOs and shareholders chasing trends and going for KISS principle at all times. Those guys didn't decide on standards like those because that's what Bram Stoker used as inspiration, they decide it because that's what looks cool at that moment, and then it's the actual writer's job to work around it and find excuses.
Like, even now there's literally no reason given why Luthor Harkon can raise the dead so much fucking better than every other necromancer in the setting short of Nagash that they come back with their full personality and quirks. It's even more unexplainable that he still manages to do it despite being severed from the winds of magic. All of it just leads to the same reasoning: Some big fish at GW was watching Pirates of the Caribbean's numbers at the box-office and said "I want me some of that money, write an article into White Dwarf".
>>531660867the slaanesh one is cute
>>531659865You can of course make up whatever imaginary connections you like but none of them are relevant to a conversation about actual reasons and not justifications long after the fact.
Its like a star wars fan trying to recontextualize stuff from the original trilogy using things invented for the prequels, or the sequels, or some licensed comic.
>>531660867is that sloppa? looks pretty good if so
>>531660867Well I like most of those choices and I think they came out well and are reasonably defensible even if they weren't made intelligently, at least until they started hiring total hacks that make the modern crap. The black library is the complete opposite of that sort of thing because all of those books are written by completely derivative hack authors who have only other fiction for a source and not even the original fiction stuff like moorcock but garbage so they can only write incestuous crap that smashes together already existing ideas for age of sigmar.

>>531662012are there any races that have a comfy early, mid and late campaign?
>>531664045Comfy is subjective. Some people find the Wood Elves or the Dwarfs to be the comfiest factions, while others get stressed out by their mechanics.
Gelt and his magical mint button are fairly comfy, I suppose.
>>531662451Sorry I didn't realize having a rich inner life would upset anyone here but I suppose this website is going to the dogs nowadays.
Just realized not a single rogue army has spawned all campaign.
>>531664045Any faction if you set everything to easy. But then what is there to prepare for?

>>531674983This is my common trick, too. I learned it way back when I started stacking Spawn inside of regular troops (e.g. Beastmen and as WoC). With how goofy AI is in this game (as in, in manuals), perhaps the smaller troops help slow down or tie-up the enemy to keep them still more often and therefore get attacked by your larger units without them having to restart the animation repeatedly (which is common if you watch closely).
>>531675279that screenshot is so fucking apocalyptic with the dark skybox and the pyramids in the background
>>531672357Why are you black
oh no! aranessa had a little accident! but don't worry, she has new "appendages"...
>>531675473The deserts in Lustriabowl can look very nice, especially under corruption. Silly number of battles in this one area in one turn. U'Zhul really gets stupid with the constant movement refreshment. Replenishment can suffer, but manuals help greatly with such.
Convoy battles are not actually bugged for the Chorfs like I first thought, they're just much less regular but more demanding. I lost one against Khorne, but it was only cause my busses deployed weird and got obstructed.
>>531675717people will recruit armies like this and then cry that they need dlc to give more variety
>>531677103Some do, sure, I don't. There's quite a bit of bloat in the game as it is. I specifically often play a campaign where I do shit like no duplicate units (which can be difficult). I do demon-only for U'Zhul and when I have some breathing room/can be fucked to; get a Soul Grinder and perhaps another Bloodcrusher.

>>531637017it uses "ranged potential" and "melee potential" which are just values in unit stat tables
mages get higher potential for every single spell they know even if they dont have the winds to use them so learning every spell is useful even if you never use them
in wh2 atleast all ammo was dumped before melee which is why some retarded stuff like the drakegun dwarf could wipe a whole stack of sisters of avelorn because of fire and magic resistance
>>531680489It's just a way to dab on Yin-Yin
every wh3 race needs 1 more dlc minimum after ToT
currently, WITH dlc cathay and kislev feel like base game races from the previous games, and chaos is a little better but only because they have 2 dlcs each.

>>531633884 (OP)Predictions on 'nids for TWW40k
Campaign:
>HivefleetsYour giant horde armies that can build up to t5 (mobile ogre camps)
>BiomassGlobal resource you get for killing units (higher tier units = more, excluding daemons and necrons kind of like soul system for chaos) and unlocks shit daemonic glory style ala daemon prince for your Tyranid parts (works exactly like daniel with your own oc swarm lord or whatever you want, and use it to pay for units, buildings, hive fleets, etc and you unlock new units and buildings (again like daemonic glory) when you reach certain thresholds
>Genestealer cultsundercities from skaven and can either do one of two things: Have a vassal genestealer cult faction spawn vassalized to you that lasts for [x] turns (can be increased with technology) or have it like a normal cult where it has support buildings and teleports the nearest hive fleet towards it
>Taking a planet / settlementPlanets will only go up to T3 like ogre camps or Norsca, and after [x] turns will be consumed and permanently razed, technology and buildings can slow this process down but your goal is to min max the biomass you get from the planet before it's completely eaten, but you spend biomass to make those buildings so you see the strategy
>RecruitingHivefleets each have a biomass cap on them per their tier (so like lets say a gaunt takes 150 biomass to make, a t1 hive ship will have a cap of 2500 biomass that regenerates per turn by like 50, but eating planets and other units helps fill it up per turn more, while a t5 ship has a cap of 30,000 biomass so you can spam out units) You COULD also have a cycle mechanic for a certain support building you can build to automate the process and have gaunts in reserve but those must have unit caps

>Global Battle MechanicShadow in the warp, basically huge leadership bomb map wide and puts enemy abilities on cooldown and charges up like orc waaagh depending on how many creatures are in synapse range, so longer you got people in synapse the better it recharges and the more you can use it (could also silence spellcasters?)

Thoughts anons? I don't know where to even post this on the official CA forum or if it'll get taken down for "offtopic" bs

Lategame AI is actually making rational and logical decisions when it comes to declaring war. In my campaign, Queek become a fucking manace so everyone around him declaring war on him instead of dogpiling on me.
And i'm chosing my wars to help my buffer states, which in turn AI is actually begrudgingly helping me. Might be the best lategame experience i have had in all Warhammer.
>>531693553because gw will force ca to follow them just like how they shoahed nuln ironsides (repeater handguns)
>Sir still thinks 40kek is going to happen
Two mo-re Weeks
Why do the Order Factions have literally infinite leadership?
>>531693296because that shit is not fun
>>531697067they never had repeater handguns, ironsides were literally just handgunners with heavy armor, this isnt to stay theres no precedent they couldve done marksmen units with repeater handguns like with hochland longrifles, because you have trollhammer torpedos, outrider grenade launchers, death globes, and etc, which is weird because you have free company militia with pistols, which is not something theyre supposed to have, and technically graveguard halberds, but that one is more a "might as well thing"

>>531697978like you pointed out why would ca be allowed to make hochland longrifles a unit when it was never one in the tabletop game, but they specifically shut down nuln ironsides even though it's not any different? or why did gw force ca to pay extra to make vampire coast and then forbid them from ever updating it? gw is fucking retarded and would absolutely force ca to follow the current tableslop rules if they thought it would somehow affect sales of their overpriced toys.

>its another Dark Elf campaign where I dont even have time to recruit their endgame units because of how recruitment for Druchii works and now all of Ulthuan is trying to kill me
Many such cases
>>531699986What do you mean? Recruit via BArk and just ship them off to your main armies. Dookie are one of the better factions for recruitment.
>>531700290I currently cant switch any units out lest I get jumped by Eltharion, Tyrion and Alarielle and constantly spending money on settlements/black ark buildings, I blame my approach desu but at least im on the donut
>>531700471Ah yeah fair enough then. If you're under constant threat then yeah recruitment can become too stressed. Had the same on my U'Zhul campaign too as the book of khorne early on makes things harder, and then when you start to get the lead on any faction, the neutrals nearby (e.g. Harkon and Yuan Bo declared war on me at the same turn while I was still finishing off both Pestilens and minor rats). Hard to get a breather.
Post a screenshot of your map, anon. Curious what you have and don't haveโyour approach.
>>531700662_____ in motion!
Does TWW3 have AI Agent Spam?
>>531700670first time playing Morathi after the AI rework, I feel like all the AI around her is now more aggro in general, specifically the Sisters, so I havent had a chance to even make it on the donut even if I wanted to (which I didnt when having to face the Sisters) which has allowed the Asur to mostly take the entire donut minus 2 settlements that N'kari is still holding
>inb4 why so many ShadesI do not want to be using this many Shades in one army but as you can see, I am essentially surrounded rn and I need good units that I can recruit in a turn or 2. Luckily I got Lokhir on one side, Morathi on the other and waiting for Hellebron to get respec'd before putting her in too, my finances are looking up but again I cant really spend time to recruit for longer than a turn right now.
>>531682247His campaign AI is so fucking bad. This nigga NEVER deals with the YT right on his border even though he starts with a full stack of imperial units

>>531701408Just realized gelt doesn't have eyes never thought about it before
>>531701531like I said, not my choice, Sisters immediately declared war on me so I was stuck in a war with them that kept me tied up and since they had their dragon, it meant I had no other option but to deal with them first, I guess my other issue was doubling down on taking them out completely since they took the Skaven out but I live with my mistakes now

>>531708030What's there to fix? Also that looks like a fun fight, anon. Their reinforcements will be mostly trash and should quickly route (bonus if you get them near the reinforcement point so they immediately disappear for good). Hope you have fun, it looks good.
I think siege problem have deeper roots than actual sieges being bad. Don't get me wrong sieges are bad

What is the highest profile person Beastmen have raped lore wise?

Siege battles in TWW3 blow
The maps are way too huge and the AI doesn't know what to do for both yours and the CPU's pathfinding

>>531711387Same as the other Daemon factions.
They're not occupying in the traditional sense, except for maybe Slaanesh because they like wordly things.
When Daemons occupy territory, think of it more like corrupting the area and spreading the influence of chaos rather than building cities

Based hag. Don't recall the last time I've seen her strength #1 and kicking well in the late game.
>>531715284On campaign map or in manuals? Former, mostly no, as they do run into ambushes, but once a while I do see them stand like a pixel outside of an ambush stance army tooโand still undetected the following turn, this is rare in my experience but I have seen this a handful of times where it looks suspicious). Latter, I think only if everything you have fielded is hidden.
>>531715798Oh gotcha the Chosen Immortals. Somehow I find those less annoying. I guess because small unit size means you need to kill less to be done with them while the Bringers don't do shit but take forever to get rid of because of their numbers. But unbreakable units in general are fucked. I think the worst offenders are really the melee cav dudes, the messengers of heaven or whatever, those cunts are also practically unbreakable (80 morale or something retarded like that) and they keep coming back to fight every single time you manage to break them....

Is there some kind of bug with the walls at the moment? I'm playing as Kugath, and my fort should have an upgraded wall and shooting nurglings apparently, but for some fucking reason the walls have only piercing towers on them.

>>531724118Some units like wolves and bats are, at least partially, built around the fact they are good to chase routers

FUCK this was a really fun battle and I forgot to save the replay, so I will dump here instead
I had this small army and Grimgor raiding on their territory and got attacked, bot of my armies had waaghs but Grimgor's is still building up
I wouldn't be able to beat them on a head on fight had to surround them from every angle all at once while using trees and squigs to get them where I wanted to, while waiting for everyone else to show up
Are hybrid units actually bad?
>>531726692Some are just a straight upgrade
Maneaters with pistols, for example - same stats as the regular Maneaters plus they can do ranged stuff in a faction that doesn't have much access to it
>>531726692Kislev and Maneaters (Pistols) are based
>>531726692Legend of Total War said hybrid units bad.
>>531726692no, only the necrofex is bad
IT'S UP!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFObUAWj4BM
>>531726692I guess it depends on case by case basis.
Kossars
Armoured Kossars
Lothern Sea Guard (Shields)
Shades
Are all great hybrid units
If you can't get your long victory conditions but do manage to get the Domination Victory, does the 'win a campaign as faction achievement pop up'?
>>531728514They were too fixated on my SEM. Flamers and Changebringers often shooting at them. The Doom Knights were actually cycle and barrier charging against my Bloodcrushers but I always kept some Bloodletters near.
>>531727898remember when your kind was missing on 8c because they ban india Israel and show IDs
So we're down to one DLC per year now, huh. Or is ToT even still coming this year?
>>531729594Calling me a jew? That's rude anon...
>>531729836ToT expected in October/November.
>>531727731But Legends favorite units are Shades
2025: 1 DLC
2026: 4 DLCs
2027: 0 DLC
Are Asur and Druchii actually genetically different or are they the same species?
>>531731063Same species, just different socio-economic backgrounds.
>>531731063As different as Prussians and Bavarians Germans.
>>531731063Druchi = Empire
Asur = Norscans
>>531731063They're literally the british vs americans.
Dark Elves players don't complain about fighting Tamurkhan.
Do you know why?
>>531732921Because they're playing a braindead simple and OP faction?
this has to be the easiest campaign in the entire game
this cunt did not even reach the point where he has a stroke since i won on turn 28 and got the achievement for never losing a single battle in a campaign
>>531731028>2026: 4 DLCsHope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
>>531733218Because they're on the other side of the world?
>>531733469>>531731028>2026: 4 DLCsPre order Black Legion pre order Race pack
Blood for the blood God DLC
1st DLC: 1 Space Marine LL / 1 Ork LL / 1 Tyrannid LL
2nd DLC 1 Space Marine LL / 1 Eldar LL / 1 Guard LL
>>531733218They require more thought than Dwarfs, WoC, Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Ogres, Greenskins, Norsca, Wood Elves, Vampire Counts and Beastmen.
>>531732476So the Druchii are the British, right?
>>531733218>dark elves>braindeadTheir t1 infantry competes with empire t1 infantry to see who sucks the most, their darksharts are great but have the range of a wet noodle, they are far, far from being a simple faction to play when there is shit like empire, dwarfs, high elves, kislev, khorne, nurgle, chaos warriors, lizardmen out there
>>531734070Asur are British as they see themselves. Druchii are British as colonized people see them. Ogres are British as they actually are.
>>531733245I mean, his victory condition is literally just winning the mandate war, which is just defeating the three brothers. It's not really meant to be a hard campaign, it's more of a role playing campaign where you usually put some restrictions or self imposed victory conditions....
>>531734186Ogres got better teeth though?
>Arbaal takes his starting province
>spends the rest of the game just sitting there and not participating in any wars
This always happens in my games, why is the war guy playing Total Peace?
>>531734575can't be defeated if you don't fight!
>>531734186Dwarfs are also British. As are Orcs.
>>531734070>western colonial land of slave owners where there's women in bikini everywhere and the men marry their crossbows....Yeah, sure.
>>531734575Really? Whenever I play anyone near, he starts shit. In 2/3 Astragoth campaigns he started war at me before declaring war on Malakai/Kislev, and in the one where he didn't start shit with me, he attacked Katarin, Malakai and Boris Ursus.
How do teams work in MP? I was thinking of playing Golgfag and my friend as Kairos, and then act as his mercenary. Do we have to pick Team 1 or can I teleport to him?
Do you guys think the siege update will make the AI any better at attacking/defending or will it make them even more retarded?
>>531735979if you pick the same "team" I think you got vision on him and all treaties like trade. Sadly unless the contract rng gives him as a client you'd have to fuck shit up around him then exchange settlement
>>531735979You have an unbreakable military alliance with people in the same team. Getting a contract for him is rng.
>>531736279I think the ai will spend so long besieging that you could build up a new army nearby and use it to drive them off
>>531735027everyone in this game is british you other countries eat our cum for breakfast you cant get enough of our accents and culture warhammer is british total war is british bow the fuck down cunts
IT'S UP!

>>531694338unironically yes. we need arcanodons and spearskinkii
>>531706139>anon....As in they're actually able to be deployed on the battlefield playable, not just being able to play a campaign as them.
>>531694338cold one spear riders/horned ones always do more work than any dinosaur
>tfw no friends to coop campaign with
I got friends, just no warhammer frens, and Iโve tried to very limited success getting people from here. Least of all no in-game chat is crippling.
I knew I was in for a wild ride with Boris but damn it's also kinda fun
>all settlements are expendable, every unit recruited is a plus
>every freshly captured settlement is a replenishment base first and foremost
>Chaoscucks taking your settlements while you're too far away to defend them all? No problem, have 2 extra population in them and colonize for free if they razed it
So the newest "siege rework" is another
>we changed the time needed to capture victory points 0.2 seconds
>towers now fire 0.3 seconds slower allowing a dynamic a exciting siege experience!
>Also now range units can finally make use of elevated terrain (bugged right now but still working)
>enemies can lose a siege and raise dead to just come back
>Lords can be recruited at full health instantly instead of taking a turn to arrive.
God I hate Undead and the fact killing a Lord is worse than letting him run away.
>>531739431coop campaign is more hanging out than anything so if you can't get irl friends into it just drop it
>>531739672what else would you have expected?
>>531739679It's literally all they have though
You're only annoyed because you want to stomp them faster, not because it's letting them win
>>531738271rape is based and so is raping children
>>531739590Boris campaign is the TW equivalent of doom
Guess which one Lileath rather fuck ?
>>531740260The taller ones
>>531739672After the latest AI and item rework, I had no expectations for siege rework
>>531736507big booty druchii
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIri9YLHpOg
>>531739903No I'm annoyed because I fought a desperate defense of a settlement with a level 1 Lord and the garrison, I won, and now they're back to win with an OP mechanic, since the AI has infinite money.
>>531739672no, the ladder and tower changes are pretty big retard
>>531739431Campaigns are so time consuming that I really don't see them working in co-op unless you can do them with someone in the same house.
>>531738832my army was emperor + wife + random general beating up yellow turbans until i won
>>531741706Do you have any mods like I do? Base game doesn't allow you to deploy them as generals.
>>531741805>Do you have any cheats like I do
>>531742214Your cheats seethe only has a chance of working against fellow Warhammer babs, us 3K chads aren't ashamed of mods.
>>531742214You can stop doing this unfunny shit anytime.
How would you react if CA unironically released Pontus as a DLC for Total Warhammer 3?
>>531740996It wont change much, I assure you, you will still auto resolve sieges
Because walls will pretty much still be a non factor since you can hop in and out of it as if there was nothing there and you will lose less people in AR
>>531742214Its impressive how a single poster managed to psyops an entire general that mods are bad and that there is a right way to play the game
>>531742358To be fair 3K's abandoned so even if mods were cheats, at this point no one who isn't a cuck could blame you.
>>531741805just MTU and camera mod
>>531742940Cute that you think anyone else has taken on his autism
>>531743138I also have MTU so it must be that. Usually they can't be deployed as generals in the base game.
>The AI can't figure out that if it wants to shoot the tower it needs to move so the level geometry is out of the way
I understand a REAL AI fix would cost a lot of money, but is it really hard to put in some code that does
//if obstructed
run figure out nearest firing position.function
return (position should move to)
move to position should move to
Like I know it's more lines of code than that in reality (probably a hundred or so), but they've had years to fix this shit.
>>531743478Maybe MandaloreGaming can make a new video on sieges.
>>531742214Its only cheating when its for games that are still getting updates, retard
In spite of playing since wh2, I've had my first encounter against a fully Tzarkan'd Malus
And holy shit he carved me a new one

>>531748050What's the point? There's nothing for us there. Also, eww.
>>531699790>like they gave counts mournghouls for some reasonmournghouls make more sense on the counts roster than the coast one. they literally have nothing to do with pirates or the ocean. even their description is about mountains.
>>531726692usually because you're paying for melee stats on a ranged unit that is losing effectiveness for ever using them. one spearmanii and one archer is going to be more capable than one and a half sneed guard. they are a massive crutch for shitters though because shitters love to take too many ranged units which leads to their ranged units always ending up in melee.

>>531753714That's stupid, 40k already has a ton of factions that'd appeal to that crowd far more. Hell that crowd is precisely the kind of insecure fuck that'd run away from the Votanns because "I can't be identified with short manlets! The humiliation would be too much for me!".
>>531753714The squats were basically 40k dwarves
Votann are AI clones who love Deep Rock Galactic with SC Terran vehicles
>>531766021That would be interesting actually. A campaign that encourages you herding every race into their DESIGNATED living space, be it through force of arms, diplomacy/settlement trading, or great rituals to make settlements into uninhabitable climate.

Do the Blood Angels even have any unique units other chapters don't apart from their Death Companies? Because if that's all that separates them unit-wise, they're totally just going to be a subfaction with a unique unit, like Aleaf or similar.

You can't talk about that game until December.
>>531776424Yeah but it'd also mean no Sisters until waaaaaay fucking late into development. I mean fucking look at
>>531779508. SEVEN fucking Marine chapters before he even remembered the Sisters exist.
I'd get to play them in my 40s.
can't wait for december when all 40kfags get BTFO yet again when TCAL announces Medieval 3 and Age of Sigmar
>>531780067GW also forgets they exist most of the time
>>531780198TCA will just announce bankruptcy. They can't even afford to release the DLC
>>531780198I will be real serious here, like, 0 shitposting
If CA announces age of sigmar, they will be closed by sega in 3 or 4 years.
They can't handle another colossal flop like pharaoh or hyenas.
>>531780198>TCAL announces Medieval 3 Not mad at all, I'd celebrate.
>and Age of SigmarI'd fucking bomb their studio.
>>531780198>he believedIt will be a blue tunic versus red tunic antiquity game.
>>531776131>he doesn't know how gw handles 40kmarines will be 50% of every dlc. there will be 6 different marine subfactions before your favorite xenos race is even playable.
>>531726692Ancient salamander are nerfed to shit.
>spess marines as their own faction
lmao
the imperium forces will be a single faction
>4 Space Marines
>2 Eldars
>1 Necron
>1 Tyrannid
>3 Orkz
>1 Chaos Marines
>2 Chaos Marines as pre-order DLC
There is your game 1 vanilla choices
>>531780975Unless they change how factions work right now, they need to be their own faction.
I don't discard they changing it up and grouping everyone into
>Imperium>Xenos>Forces of ChaosThough
>>531780975Odds are Imperial Guard will be an NPC faction that can be corrupted by chaos or provides garrisons to uncontrolled settlements like human chaosmani.
By the way, is Total War Three Kingdoms good or is it shit?
>>531780975>80% of the unit roster for the entire game is taken up by a single factionThat would be fucking ridiculous.
>>531781154>Odds are Imperial Guard will be an NPC faction that can be corrupted by chaos or provides garrisons to uncontrolled settlements like human chaosmani.You have no idea how dangerous this idea is for the health and physical structure of the horsham office
IG players are acutely autist
>>531781197Probably gets delayed until 2027.
>>531781306Yes. We are. But TCA is extremely low effort.
>>531777934>>531775346Thank you for all of the recommendations. I am reinstalling Three Kingdoms right now.
Is Three Kingdoms playable on Record mode or do AI cheats make super lords necessary to defend places when they spawn three armies on one economy?
>>531779508Damn, now that's a list.
>>531782153It is but its less fun imo
>>531780975That's not even how it works in the tabletop, everyone has their onw codex besides very minor shit.
I feel like I'm doing a lot of totaling and not a lot of warring in these modern Total War games.
At the bare minimum, 40k needs
>Space Marines
>Chaos Marines
>Orkz
>Aeldari
>Necron
Imperial Guard, Mechanicus, Drukhari and Tyrannid will also be present on the map but as NPC factions until they get added through DLC
Aside from lower upkeep is there any reason to take the skink cohorts without javelins?
>>531782769Necron will definitely be a DLC faction. They might even be a 40K2 faction.
Total War: Sonic the Hedgehog
>>531783102Theyre decent flankers because of their speed but theyre still squishy as hell, youre better off with Javelins 9 times out of 10
>>531783280Nah, theyre gonna get some of the popular more well known races out of the way, the second game will introduce the leftovers
>>531783416>Total War: Cooking Mama
total war more like total BAD
>>531783438Yeah but if they're decent flankers the javelin boys can do the same job, right?
>>531783630Most people think of Space Marines, Chaos, IG, and Mechanicus.
>>531783630>second game flops
>>531783968>second game has the Tau as the centerpieceYeah, no wonder
>>531783416eggman's faction would basically play like norsca when you think about it
WHILE I LIKE THE SPYING FLAVOUR IN THREE KINGDOMS
I HATE BEING A VICTIM OF IT
Does CreamAPI still work with TW3?
t. not played since TW2.
>>531784294>victim of itBro just dont hire any suspiciously free unit in the recruitment pool that doeent have an eye icon next to their name, essy
>>531781154>is Total War Three Kingdoms good or is it shit?If not for lack of naval combat and provinces not having dedicated logistic slots it would be better Shogun2. People might not like the color based generals, but it add more flavor to army building.
>>531784542They're just free units?
Are people here really from communist societies where getting something for free isn't a scam (or, depending on your point of view, is the rare scam that Communism makes so ubiquitous that a Commie can't see them)?
>>531781197Maybe if Lazy's mods covers all the ladies.
Diplomacy would basically be impossible in a 40K total war.
Total War: Mushroom Kingdom
The Switch 2 Joy-Cons can function as a mouse.
>>531785093Weak ass arguments
You can have trade agreements between dwarfs and skaven in fantasy and kostaltyn can declare peace to archaon
Guess the LL from the quote

>>531785463Arbaaaaaallllllll!

>>531784293what the fuck are those scars on her hips?
>>531786627getting knotted
>>531786068Oh shit, uhhhhh, this one's hard, uhhh... Jackie Chan?
>>531782153There are hard coded army limits in 3 kingdoms based on your rank, and 3 Kingdoms has the least AI cheats of any total war game in general.
>>531785093Alliances between non-Chaos factions are more common than you think, Grimdrip lorelet.
>>531786940I pick Bing Bong because he's got the Ching Chong buff that helps him while fighting the King Kong clan.
>>531786627>he doesn't know
Playing as Skarbrand and about to have the biggest war ever. Basically ally the red you see in the Empire is Karl Franz. The fucker has conquered Norsca and much of the Chaos Wastes. He's defeated Throgg, Wulfric, Archaon, Be'Lakor and Sigwald. Everything red outside the Empire is me. I had a massive campaign against Cathay and defeated the Greenskin end game crisis under Wurrzag. About to dow on Empire, Kislev and Bretonnia after wiping out the Welfs and Kairos
is there a 3 kingdoms cheat that replaces all of the chinks with their koihime muso versions?
ah

>mfw some of my favorite legendary lords get giga stronk and I can become trading partners and military buddies with them in game
>>531785093Tyranids, if they are added would definitely be non communicating with anyone else.
>>531787332Soviet Union vs People's Republic of China is about to be underway.
>>531787543Yes yes, we know how much you love your "Ally" Karl Franz, Meowing.
>>531787543Always a fantastic feel, right up until they take a settlement that's within your rightful clay and won't fucking trade for it.
>>531787553Yeah, Tyranids are the only ones that shouldn't have diplomacy
All the rest are sentient and as such, can be negotiated with

Every faction gets DLC to expand their rosters for 5 more years and one more tabletop edition.
China is the most boring period of history
Emperor 1 Han stayed in charge because he had 1 billion people to sacrifice instead of the 900 million from the Song Rebellion.
>>531788769I see what you did there
>>531787664I had to have a brief war with Katarin as Ungrim to get some of Azhag's shit
>>531788771>China is the most boring period of history
Make a new thread already faggots
>>531789334>MAYBE DRYCHA WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU FUCKING KNIFE EARS
>>531789796Zhang Yan was actually the first chinaman I picked in 3K. He looks so cool and like an underdog.
>>531777934This list is not only wrong. It is very wrong
>>531788769Would be perfect, you just forgot to put Imperial guard in game 1 and black legion as pre-order.
>>531786940hate them all tbqh
No more pre-order races for Total War games. CA confirmed this in December.
>>531790529Chaos getting fucked again would be so funny though.
>>531790529>>531790708Nothing would make me happier than black legion as pre-order AGAIN
>>531790787I'd want them to be literal ultramarines but black kek
>>531786940None because no one plays 8p
I just want my English Longbowmen to be able to deploy stakes on the battlefield.
>>531788769Rip Belakor and the daemons and Soul Grinders out of TWW3 and straight up copy and paste them in 40k, hey! Your "40K" Chaos Daemons faction. In fact, fuck you can rip ALL the non mortal Chaos units out of Warhammer.
>>531791814Tall entities are going to have a really rough time when 80% of units have a ranged weapon.
>>531791375You gonna get longbowmanii lead by king richard the lion hearted (legendary king, single entity) buffing their missile strength by 20% and you gonna LOVE IT
>>531724515I do. Realms are more interesting than the empire and what not. Granted I do like the chaos wastes.
>>531791979Funny you say that, because its also an issue in the tabletop
Big models usually are a pain in the ass to keep alive unless its knights
>>531791979They will need another stat for toughness, I know that is supposed to be melee defence in total war warhammer right now, but toughness in 40k also applies to ranged attacks
This way you can't really hurt belakor with lasguns, unless its a LOT of lasguns or they are buffed to heaven
>>531792405Isn't that covered by missile resistance?
>>531792687Not really since toughness for ranged and melee is the same.
I like fighting the Vampire Counts as Durthu because I know that they have no answers for my giga treebeard.
>>531792687hmm it could work but it would be wonky.
Say that every vehicle is divided into light, medium and heavy (monsters could be divided the same way), you would need resistance of both melee and ranged to be tiered respecting that, say, 20%, 40% and 60% to represent T9, T11 and T12 in tabletop I think?
>accidentally accept vassalage treaty
its so over...
bandits...
never free...
The Han are sneaky,...
>>531793573Didn't read the small print...
If only China had invented glasses.
>>531793573play the lesbian next time sucker
>>531793573This is how der juden get you
>>531792223didn't they have the opposite problem where they had to change the rules so huge robots can't see over buildings because retarded tourneyfags refused to just make taller terrain?
>>531794403Yeah, thats why I excepted knights, since their entire army is made of big tanky shits, its one of the most controversial armies in 40k due to that alone.
It was absolute cancer when they could ignore terrain
>>531792889that's how it is in fantasoi tableslop too. the real stupidity though is how they decided that an armored vehicle's main defense isn't it's heavy armor, but it's high toughness. this leads to retardation where a space marine hiding behind a chest high wall can be more survivable against certain weapon profiles than a tank.
>>531779508Releasing space marines as seperate factions and not sub factions would me absolutely cancer. 90% of potential players are not TT players and do not give a fuck.
