Why the sharp decline with WH2? No human faction? Best faction (skaven) not good enough for normies?

>>531968441
>vassalizing as greenskins

>>531968587
Something different. Confed' Skarsnik and not interested in anybody else. Vassalise a couple of minors. Have to keep things fresh in basically any which way I can with everybody I play, especially factions I play a lot. Shit like Chaos factions I do one of each unit max, or themed armies, no legendary heroes, etc. Playing the same way every time like confed' everybody or crump all greenskins gets pretty boring and samey.

Did they reintroduce that retarded mechanic from game 1 where any AI you're friendly with gets completely cucked and castrated? It feels like the AI forgets how to exist the moment I get positive relations with anyone, and it reminds me of that stupid feature from WH1

This has literally always been the case in every Total War game for as long as I can remember. The AI's prime directive is to fuck with the player, when they're 'allied' they have to get a little more creative than usual.

Interesting how occupying a settlement can bypass structure limitations (normally you can't build both income-related buildings in the same settlement).

>>531969792
>Literally sexless
GW never claimed this. Just that they can't sexually reproduce.
>Automatons
Nope

Lol, lmao even

>>531975746
Yeah I got the dwarf combo from Kroq-gar's capital one time

It is interesting to witness how the furfags pivoted to lizards over the years because rats were bringing them too much heat

>>531975660
Is there a mod to fix it?

>>531976130
All the gay ratporn was posted by liggers, they are all gay and want ratposters to look bad. Real ratchads post ratgirls.

every ratnigger is a fag

>>531975660
Nah they at least partially addressed the friendly AI castration the past few years, but the recent patches feel like a reversion

Speaking of liggers, how would they cost effectively deal with Chaos/Chosen halberds?

ratfags banned video uploading

>>531977094
>liggers, how would they cost effectively
lol

>>531969270
you T1 archer spam because its good. I T1 archer spam because they are my only archer types other than (at the time) T4 monstrous great bows. We are not the same.

>>531977954
Nehekharan warriors are good these days though

Thanks MPfags really cool and engaging to fight this guy

Gold value is a much better stat to see at first glance than kills in a game with expensive monsters and cheap chaff

>>531977486
What did he mean by this?

>>531976292
No anti player AI cheat. It makes the game feel more like a sandbox and stops your allies from perma sacking as a retarded hidden difficulty setting

>>531975172
IZ DAWIZ DA

We need to pivot

Maybe the reason why they can't outright say a lot of bugs are too annoying to fix because of the old ass engine is because 40k is gonna be on the same one

>>531974963
If aleaf and grombrindal die it makes defending against str rank 1 Malekith pure AIDS so you need to rush north and help them as fast as possible

ligger players I mean. the furry is a falseflagging ratfag

>>531981558
Liggers are by definition furries and gay, obviously they lust after rats too.

BIGGEST WAAAGH SO FAR, LADZ!

>>531982242
propa fight

I miss her.

what made the Sophia team think that was not good enough so they delyaed the dlc? they are still gonna roll up "reworks".

>>531983649
probably a skeleton crew who both has to work on the dlc and fixing the game

What will fantasycucks play when everyone migrates to Medieval 3?

>>531986245
Different games

>>531986245
>what will players do when people play a different single player game?

/twg/ has fallen millions must shitpost

>>531983649
>Sophia team needs to learn the tools and spagetti code
>So they try to tackle game file size, table management(traits&items), bugfixes, AI improvements with betas etc to gain experience
>They also want to try to "fix" the sieges to prove themselves to both CA and fans i guess
>They also probably inherited the promises of the Bongland team (item rework, corruption rework, Ligger rework etc.)
>And lastly i'm guessing HEs wasnt the 3rd race of the dlc. They probably pivoted to that.

>>531986245
it's a single player game you nonce, you don't have to "migrate" anywhere and in fact you can play shogun 1 and everything else since right now if you want

>>531983649
probably got told the future of warhammer is sooner rather than later if the dlc bombs

>>531983889
hopefully they outdo the previous dlc

>>531986520
wait did sophia do the previous one?

>>531986984
and then what? wh3 is the best current game

>>531986520
>And lastly i'm guessing HEs wasnt the 3rd race of the dlc. They probably pivoted to that.
really? what would have it been then?

>>531987463
Vampire Counts is the most plausible alternative.

>gonna start a new campaign with Cylostra Direfin!
>said no one ever
I started a new campaign with Cylostra Direfin.
It's been fun so far.

>>531986672

>>531986245

>>531980296
Lizards don't have cost efficient units

>the fag who spammed that wasting the AIs missiles by dodging with your units had to stop because CA made the AI dodge your missiles back
lmfao

>>531987370
so was 3k

Any good mods to make Empire more fun?

>>531988613
was cheese*

why are devastated settlements not ever becoming undevastated? im turn 20 and on like turn 5 this was devastated by skarbrand who is now dead

surely the AI doesn't get books of khorne?

Reminder that the Lizardmen and Kangz update is confirmed to be minor. Small touches to tech trees, Lizards get some new blessed units, Kangz get some new small feature and some traits. Do not expect anything like the Geomantic Web being updated or LLs getting new items or reworked mechanics.

im doing ma teng this is total war campaign and this one guy just loves me anyway

>>531987272
Sophia only did the Khorne side of the dlc.

>>531989335
AI doesnt prioritize ruin dwelling too much but i definately saw AI do it when it has nothing else going on.

>>531990440
i think you are confused

skarbrand razed a settlement like 10+ turns ago and it has no timer on the devastated (ie cant colonize) status, there is 3 settlements stuck permanently uncolonizable with no timer

>>531989347
>Lizards get gipped on content AGAIN!
It never ends

What are the pros about daemons of chaos faction?

>>531989347
>>531991161
Lizardmanii only need small touches anyway.
Geomantic web changes more talents fpr heroes and building touches

Why are dark elves ALWAYS the most played faction in mulitplayer? They aren't even good. In fact they are bottom tier.

>>531991426
no one here can answer that because no one here plays multiplayer

>>531991510
*no one plays
here isnt needed

>>531991510
>no one here plays multiplayer
That's false. They hide here because talking about mp triggers some people turning the thread into a unusable shitpost.

>>531991595
>That's false
Nope

>>531991595
that's a very narcissistic way of describing how you come to this thread and call everyone in it who doesn't play MP (that's everyone here) shit and stupid with frog pictures attached

>>531991684
>redditfrog multishart
diosmio...

>>531991356
They confirmed in a recent stream that they're not working on updating the Web,

>>531991426
I played DE a bit in MP they are fun imo
Have lots of units that are not OP, but are ciable so you can do a bunch of things with them. Good range, good cav, decent monsters good lords and heroes for the most part and lore of dark soulstealer is strong at char/monster killing. They require good micro to get the most out of them tho

I am just glad that total war warhammer 3 is in Sofia's hands. They will def improve the game. Can't wait to see what they can bring to a table.

>>531992640
Based ESL.

>>531992640
this, im super excited to see what amazing things they can make after the masterpiece that was pharaoh

Guys how much are you willing to pay for as the CA says one of theire biggest dlc that they are making? Will you buy it if it will be 30 or even 40 bucks.

>>531992801
I agree, Pharaoh was a masterpiece

>>531992838
depends on what the DLC is

if its any kind of chinkshit or wokeslop I simply won't

>>531992801
Pharaoh is good game. People don't like it because ancient egypt as popular as other settings are. Pharaoh also has the best campaign mehanics out of all Total war games.

Does skyre still hold up

>>531992996
only one that is arguably better is moulder if you prefer monsters, otherwise it's the best skaven faction by a country mile

>>531993134
NO! I LIKE MACHINES! I HATE FLESH, HATE THE WAY IT FEELS; HOW IT SMELLS. I HATE IT!

The war against Humanity continues. Altdorf and the southern provinces of the Empire has Fallen. Eastern Bretonnia is a ruin and Kislev is barely holding on to their capital. Meanwhile Skarbrand has collected the Burning Books of Khorne.

>>531992640

Can't wait to play a real RTS again when DOW remastered is out next month. CA shit the bed big time over the past 20 years. Embarrassing to still be playing this unfinished piece of shit on an out of date engine after how many years, patches, DLC and full games later? They can't even get the audio on the faction select screen working properly.

What's the name of the mod that imports chaos dwarfs campaign in to IM map?

>>531994185

thx!

i really dont get aranessa
what can she do?
her ability is.. a single target root?
this bitch is useless!

>>531996184
That single target? Me.

Bit weird

>>531995258
These remasters that are just upscales are retarded, selling the same game

>>531992208
Its over. It has never been more over than this

>>531995258
enjoy your removed voicelines LOL

>>531995258
it's a widescreen and 64bit patch for 30-50$ depending where you live, i guess you also get an AI upscaled and interpolated intro video

that's criminal

Seething and malding right now because my game keeps freezing and crashing randomly in battles.

>>531996184
yes, sartosa is considered the worst faction in the entire game

>>531997468
Please keep that to yourself. You'll fuel the tomboy faggot.

you dont know shit bitch

>>531997468
Second worst, you forgot about the Awakened (I don't blame you)

>>531997639
Awakened is more the most reddit, even more than Dwarfs

Should I bother with melee infantry as lategame chorfs or just have a line of fireglaives and blunderbussies?

>>531997817
Any army should be cost effective
If you're stomping because they're too weak to get near you you would stomp them with melee roadblocks too, prepare for the worst case scenario instead

>>531996807
greeks are cringe as fuck tho

>>531998018
Doesn't matter its still a cool intro for a mod too

>>531995258
It's surprising that CA even survived the Hyenas debacle at all.

>>531998075
mod is cool, still waiting on that expanded map tho

>>531997639
luthor harkon is actually really powerful in WH3

all VC suck in 3 so it's really just the LL that sets them apart and he's not bad

>>531998559
He's the worst part if anything

>>531968070 (OP)
GIANT MAN-EATING JEWS!

It's amazing how much value one grenade outrider unit consistently brings vs Counts. Not even the amethyst versions, just regular.

>>531997468
They are the easiest VCoast faction by far at least.

>>531999019
theyve never not been a good unit

>recruiting the Hellcannon

is it just that simple

>>531999770
elucidate me anon why is this a mistake?

Give me a short but sweet campaign.

>>532001000
Seduction. However I did AR that one as the last remaining force of theirs was weak, I forgot if you manual battle and not wipe-out the seduced unit if it gets returned to you.

>>531988736
they had warhammer 2 back then but currently there is only wh3 and hyenas was aborted

Zerkovich video said to never pause during battles and it will make you a better player long-term, is this good advice for a noob?

>>532001417
doesnt work with the hellcannon because its unbreakable

the real solution is to break the attack and reattack because for some reason they only seduce units like 50% of the time

if you are defending, well you fucked up

>>532001578
no, it's a shit piece of advice
it's a single player game, if you need to play in slo-mo or pause just do it

>>532001578
if you're planning on only playing legendary or becoming an MP-only faggot, yeah.

Otherwise, fuck his advice and fuck you for taking his advice on a single player game

>>532001578
hes retarded, because this game has really unresponsive units, theyll fail to follow command semi regularly, its not like sc2 where theyll follow the commands to a fault, so you need to stop and digest why the commands are failing

What a weird campaign, somehow Arbaal, Azhag, Azazel and Ungrim ended up setting up shop in the Empire cut off from their home regions.

Play Empire: Frontline survives for 2 minutes if I am lucky and only secures about 200 damage value.
Play Kislev: Frontline survives for 5 minutes and consistently attains a damage value of 800.

>>532002163
And you're comparing halberdiers to kislevite warriors.

wow!

>>531999486
You can just spam melee as Sartosa, no need for thinking.

>>532001578
He is correct if you want to get better and eventually play at max difficulties.

>>532002163
almost as if one is predominantly a shooty faction and the other is predominantly a melee faction

the mind boggles, anon-kun

>>532003120
What if my melee-focused guys are outshooting the ranged-focused guys?

>>532003449
then you're cheating because it means you are stacking buffs and/or using battle tactics

>>532003449
"What if I'm just shit at using the factions"

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

>generic sea battle army
how the fuck does leveling up and adding 2 spellcasters turn my auto resolve from a pyrrhic victory to a crushing defeat? I fight it regardless but that's just silly.
As a side note, since the encounters at sea mod is abandoned is there any mod that does something similar? (randomizes the island armies and adds more factions to it)

>>532005186
I'm using this one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3370118816 also land encouonters mod from same guy.

>>532005186
That leviathan can do a ton of damage. How do eagle claws perform compared to cannons? Could they deal with it?

>>532005432
thanks that's pretty much the same thing, perfect
I'll check out the land encounters too
>>532005798
they did fine against the single leviathan because it was slow and a large target, eventually I want to get a front line of phoenix guard for massed large units but don't have those yet

makes sense to me

>>532009216
You say that but I'm wading through stacks of empire swordsmen with stats in the 50s and 60s over here

>>532009525
If you play as Volkmar then some of his books dramatically improve infantry.

>>532009525
the game's balance doesn't account for

>>532009525
"What if I just keep being shit at the game and have my cheats drastically alter the balance? what then HUH?"

Damn that thing can put up a fucking fight

Asking again: from now and SoC, has there been a change to unit leadership or something? I am routinely seeing units on either side fight to the death and never shatter from losses unless it's like their third rout or whatever triggers the shatter automatically. It's like I'm playing Radious or something. No mods that affect leadership or battles that I know of

>>531992208
wtf, that's the one change they really need. it's their most unique faction mechanic and it's practically useless

>>531996506
What voicelines

Have not played Liggers in quite a while now. What's wrong with the web mechanic? I remember it being fairly basic and easy–mostly forgettable apparently.

>>532011884
It hasn't kept up with powercreep.
I need Geomantic Web lasers that immolate my enemies!

>>532011884
It uses a building slot.

skaven are the worst race in the game

>>532012239
How so?

>>532011884
just skip it man
the ideal lizardman experience is nakai these days

>>532012239
Fitting as they are the most hated arguably in-lore, too. They hate eachother more than all other factions, too.

>>532012278
dogshit units except for ranged means you have to sit around waiting for buildings to be built and cant do anything without them

Remind me please.
If I want to exchange a settlement with another and be sure the AI agree, what should i build inside military or economy ?

>>532012612
>he isn't clanratpilled

It's basically cheating

It's been mentioned a few times, but I'm a complete retard; how do you use "CreamAPI" to unlock DLCs?

No, I don't even know what it is.

>>532011884
it just doesn't do anything interesting. expensive buildings, like 15 turns to fully upgrade, requires multiple adjacent provinces, and all you get are minor buffs to defending armies, minor buffs to growth and income, or two other options that are completely useless
modders have made the buffs bigger but it's still boring

Ulric or Sigmar?

>>532013731
Ulric.
>t.Sigmar

>>532012617
AI massively overvalues military
Double so if it doesn't have the same in the province (like if you sell em cavalry slots when they have infantry there)

Yeah I remember why I hate soitek with a passion

Came back from playing empire a long long time ago and I noticed how the frontline got severely worse, I just saw my frontline collapse to fucking gobbos with spears, and if it wasn't for my backline I would have lost.
I don't remember it being so bad in game 1 and 2, am I going insane?

Playing Shogun 2 and I need a fucking magnifying glass to read the UI wtf is going on

>>531996184
Perfect vigor shoot and scoot pirates.
Just learn to micro

Glad to see the AI is still the unfun opportunistic scavengers that never take a fight unless they outnumber you 10-1

Holy fuck CA I'm not here for armchair realism I'm here to throw waves of my little dudes vs their little dudes and watch the action to satisfy my Warhammer autism

>>532016802
Unironically greenskins are one of the more powerful races in the game, this includes gobbos. Its been a while but IIRC their tech tree does a lot for goblins.
What faction were you fighting and what difficulty?

>>532017087
Its not nearly as bad now as it was in the past, and I talk as someone who played on and off since wh1.
Now the AI prioritizes defending key settlements instead of being absolute shit tier cunts that will ravage your inner regions, and will always engage you if the auto resolve is in their favor (they know in advance if the autoresolve is advantageous).
There were even some cases of them suiciding stacks against me even when the autoresolve was in my favor.

Its much, much better.

>>532017375
I was playing elspeth on turn 4, against that yellow tribe of gobbos, nothing special at all, had no problems with undead, then these little shits just erase my frontline, I won't even talk about squigs

>>532017375
That fat fucking reddit mod skrag declared on me, I dated to auto resolved one time with Gorbad against one of his random level 1 minor towns to save myself the time, lost 75% of my army and then Thorgrim went straight at me but his armies just sack and full march away or bounce around the mountains while I made a pile of goblins to just eat his cities.

It's so dumb I want to actually play the battles not micro manage fuckin siege assaults over and over

>>532016802
you talk about gobbos as if they're bad goblins are the best units in the greenskin faction (the fucking dlc didnt even rectify this infact it made it worse) they're better than fucking ORCS

>>532018304
Holy shit

>>532018304
extremely debatable

>>532018304
Im not that convinced, never had problems with goblins in this game before, this was the first time I was genuinely surprised

Your response?

You need to make gaps wide enough for your guns to shoot at, but small enough to prevent enemy units from reaching your guns
Just experiment
I prefer to use square formations of guns for checkerboard rather than rectangular wide formation

CA seen how good of an idea and execution Ikit's nukes were, so they added more to another faction. This time they get multiple charges from each building they build for it.

What is some good allied recruitment?

>>532023242
Yeah

>>532024893
Better than what I expect from CA: making it worse like they did with whack-a-towers. The remapping project gives me a bit of hope too.

Im not posting with a photo so noone will notice me say that Empire war wagons are actually pretty useful early game units

The idea is neat (a building that can help armies in battle in an area of influence around itself) but the execution can go fuck itself.

>>532026283
Honestly i find that ok like Chorfs are only in one area of the map and its supposed to feel like fighting a small fortified force now when Ikit can ambush you + warp lightning spam you + menace below you + nuke you is when shit is just annoying

The Monstergirl Encyclopedia version of Warhammer was clearly written in french.

>>532027162
That would be a comfy warhammer short story. You and your 7-8 buddies with a war wagon sign up to join a Cathayan caravan escort that travels around the old world

>>532026172
the first one goes off at like 1:45 and then on cooldown after that

sit in the corner of the map with all your units spread out and watch them like a hawk, you just sit there for 5ish mins and move 3 units and waste all their charges, then you can just play as normal

Has anyone identified the weaknesses of the Chaos Dwarfs?

>>532028617
>>532027883
I was besieging a city, can't really wait until they spend all their charges because of infinite range towers

>>532028913
Cost, which doesn't matter for s*nglecels

>>532028578
>Cathayan caravan escort that travels around the old world
you dont want that, its probably most awful job because it drags you through greenskin, skaven, chorf, and ogre territory

like one city map has full range towers over the entire map, none of the chorf ones do for sure

How is Volkmar's campaign? I don't think I've ever played him, but I'd like to play with Empire units without messing around in the Empire-bowl, although I'll miss Franz's political intrigue shit

>>532029226
>its probably most awful job
Warhammer is full of awful jobs, name one that's comfy

>>532027204
Yeah

On a TW note: is there a mod that turns ascension to daemonhood turn the lord into the greater daemon lord type instead of the pseudo-Daniel type? This looks like shit

>>532030614
I did a quick go at it but was massively disappointed
I played a lot of tomb kings in 2 so hunting the books is whatever for me (more Rogue Armies?), the initial first battles and expansion were fine but then I got squashed by a gigamega Wurzzag while I barely was allowed to have one building slot open for something else than Flagellants

>>532030614
I haven't played him since launch of IE so it's probably different now, but it was one of the most fun I've had with the Empire
Starting in the desert and seeking the books of nagash makes you play much more aggressively than most other Empire factions, and you get lots of good buffs as well

>>532031056
>than most other empire factions
Unless i'm wrong Franz is one of the most demanding early game campaigns in the whole game, no?
Fighting skellies with flagellants sounds fun though.
>>532030945
That does sound a little disappointing. Maybe Gelt then, I haven't played him since the college of magic was added.

>>532031327
>Unless i'm wrong Franz is one of the most demanding early game campaigns in the whole game, no?

Now its much more chill

>>532030614

>>532031419
What changed? Im playing it now, on turn 25 and it's been a scramble to knock out khazrak, the orcs, now festus, and the vamps are gonna be a problem soon. I'm a huge shitter but it doesn't feel chill

>>532031327
Franz is aggressive until you take out your starting enemies, Volkmar stays aggressive because there is a lot of different places to go
he can turn flagellants into weak late-game units

Has anyone tried the siege rework? Are sieges playable now?

You're paying extra upkeep for mobile mortars that are just as inaccurate as the vanilla mortars, unless youre playing Markus who I'm assuming you are, theres 0 reason to recruit them

I always like having a Thane or two in my dwarf armies, giving them good weapons and armor.

>>532039495
They probably changed this but I remember super early in IE if you got a dwarf lord/character and gave them a ton of items and runes from their forge they could autoresolve enemy stacks

>>532039482
Franz

>>532039702
I'm playing Malakai today and the last full dwarf run I did as Ungrim, I gave the thane the best purple weapon oathgold and materials could get and the best armor, when I'd autoresolved he'd usually have 150+ kills by himself

>>532036037

>Like always there were problems on lunch.

>>531968562
WH1 has better factions, graphics and runs better

>>532039705
Not that anon, but:
Regular mortars are generally slightly more optimal. HOWEVER against VC I'd consider wagon mortars, since they tend to spam dogs/bats. Unless you're vastly outnumbering the enemy or have godlike micro, there will be fights where those get into your backline and said cases normal infantry mortars tend to die very fast, whereas wagon mortars take longer to kill (and can easily push through friendly infantry to get into cover)

>>532038832
An entire army of armored slayers, truly a dreadful vision

>>532039482
>>532039338
You guys were right these things weren't that great. Cannons it is for now.
But what about hochland long rifles or nuln ironsides? Which of those should I try?

>>532041335
Ironsides are expensive Handgunners (armored), smaller unit count cancels the higher DPS. Long Rifles are snipers for taking out priority targets and artillery. Both have their uses, although Ironsides are on the pricier side for what you get

>>532041563
Should I just go ahead and stick with regular guns then? I typically use them for dealing damage to the enemies infantry

>>532039338
>as useful as regular ones
wrong, they're much worse
>so nearly useless [regular ones]
telling you to kill yourself would be an insult to whatever method you chose to use

>>532042058
nta but if anything regular guns are better against infantry because there's less overkill damage but the difference is so miniscule that it might as well not exist

>>532041278
That makes me wonder, do ally units in Bretonnian armies benefit from their factionwide armour buff? If so, I suppose you could have your 100+ armour slayers that way.

FOR ZE LADY

>>532042058
What those anons are leaving out is that Ironsides have a hidden penetration stat of 3 (handgunners have 2) which means if they're shooting at infantry they're very probably doing about 50% more damage with each shot. Then you throw in their blackpowder discipline passive that gives them much better reload and accuracy and they end up outdpsing normal handgunners by quite a bit.

>>532043218
>old time sucked

>>532042831
if you're just shooting chaff, handgunners do the job.

Past a certain amount of turns where your frontline/cav can deal with the chaff, you need Ironsides/Huntsmen to focus priority targets and Handguns don't cut it anymore.

Man keeping that sun dragon imrik gets at start of campaign alive is a pita.

>>532041335
long rifles are good because they out range most other ranged units. you can use them like pseudo artillery and have them sit back and snipe away at whatever you want dead. ironsides are just hand gunners with slightly higher dps and pointless melee stats.

>>532042237
mortars are a total doodoo unit type. they can't hit fucking shit and will waste 3/4 shots blowing up the dirt. the only one that isn't garbage is the dreadquake train, and only because it's bugged and has no minimum range so it can use the mortar as a melee attack.

>>532042729
shooting at chaff with your guns is a waste. the penetration difference is basically pointless when you are shooting at cavalry and monsters like you want to be.

>>532043636
I hope too because i didn't played them since TWW1 time (factions with only 1 Lord type are so so boring)

>>532038427
Mortars suck on VH battle difficulty since the AI will perfectly dodge the shots until they get into melee

>>532045569
>le unit type is le bad because I can't use it properly

many such cases

>>532045841
your mortar that spends all battle shooting optimal targets will only get like 800 value. that's the absolute best it can do. meanwhile a handgunner can get 400 value in one volley.

Feels bad lizardbros...

>>532053950
Odd thing to say

I officially ragequit though. Besides Talabheim and their 4 territories I am the last Empire faction left alive, the rest split between Sylvania, Golgfag, World Walkers, and Ungrim for some reason

Aranessa is a gypsy whore and she smells like a donkey.

>>532056885
arcanum is such a cool game, man

turns now Archaon, who I have the three low-commitment treaties with, has parked four armies outside one of my settlement, while the only faction he is at war with is Clan Moulder way off on the other side of my territory. Did his AI just break or something?

>>532057925
*For many turns now

>>532056734

>>532060125

>>532060125
Slaanesh. Nothing comfier than watching ranged units get assraped and arty heavy factions suddenly being turned against themselves. Yeah you don't have many mindless moments of autoresolve but the catharsis of seeing annoying ranged units get locked into place and turned inside out is bliss

>Also didn't realize Franz was a decent lord sniper.
It's hard to tell when he's in the "shit at melee" faction and anons here measure a lord's killy capability in Franzes per battle

>>532063289
The most important measurement for any lord is how many Karl Franz' can they take.

>>532063480
....in a fight, right?

>find ghorst
>he is sitting at one city with 5 stacks of zombies and skeletons (0 experience)
uuuhhhh....ghorst?

>>532063767
Unliving. Molded. Happy. In my grave. Focused. Raising.

>>532061982
Very much looking forward to playing Slaanesh after the DLC. May CA provide us with a replenishment hero.

>>532060125
Greenskins, seconded by Lizardmen
both start in more rural areas, both have melee focused armies with a huge amount of options for different armies, and both are cool

>>532060125
Nurgle.
Epidemius, Tamurkhan, Festus, Ku'gath. In that order.
Glottkin soon.

Why did they make the Kislev check so incredibly unlikable in the cutscene?
I had to switch factions to the old priest guy.

Is it like lore friendly for her to be a psychopathic murderer? Idk I've never played the games before.

You are playing as N'Kari and your opponent has no ranged units.
What happens next?

>>532064692
AT this point I'm not looking forward to anything, I'm not even sure the DLC is real. I'll believe it when I see it

>>532065639
If anything, the priest guy is the psychopathic murderer because he's like the jihad of kislev
katarin is quite literally just an ice cold bitch
for a true hero, play BORIS

are heroes even worth it? at some point im just tired of leveling them up

>>532065808
He seemed really chill and wise in the cutscene.
But he sounds batshit crazy on the map.

A bit disappointing.

>>532065937
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Of course

>>532065682
rape

Tyrion is the only cool elf in this game

>>532065951
kislev isn't really represented well in-game in general sadly, they have the core feel down but the different factions all feel incomplete from a thematic perspective

>>532065682
Same thing i do for warriors, khorne, nurgle tzeencth and Demons: send in my chaos warriormanii to grind them to dust.

I've mostly played dwarfs since the first TWWH but have never played Ungrim. Is he alright? Can I get away with having an army of entirely slayers?

>>532066780
yes he's busted, yes it's busted

>>532066780
>I've mostly played dwarfs

>>532067134

Trying Ungrim rn
>turn 22

should make him easier to kill with a bunch of slayers

>>532072120
do you have the dlc?
goblin hewers are no joke

>>532072436
I do yeah

>>532072962
many brave sons of grimnir fulfilled their oaths this day

>>532022227
thats a problem with dark elves not havin global recruitment and the ai being too retarded to use black arks
everything there with the exception of the one shade comes from the basic military building
they really should just give dark elf ai global recruitment

>>532073086
That was a fun battle. How is Ungrim as a lord sniper? I didn't really get the chance to swing at azhag and haven't really figured him out yet

>>532068087
AAAAA FOIDS GET OUT MY WAHAMMIES THREAD REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>532072436
How about doomseekers? Last I heard from this general they were pretty ass

>>532073745
he's really good at it, one of the best in the game. he can get over 1k weapon strength later on
but he's slow for a lord sniper, which is a big downside but you can slow them with runes and use your missiles too if you need to

>>532074594
Good to know, Im gonna fiddle around with these character runes too; I just gave him strider

>>532074370
they can be a little redundant, and not always worth recruiting over more slayers but they are still very strong, especially against heavy infantry

>>532065937
yes they are incredibly overpowered
>at some point im just tired of leveling them up
yes the game is shit

>>532060125
Raaroos. They've been since their rework on wh2. Also WoC.

well this is frustrating

How do Ogres play now? What should I build as a priority for a camp? On paper he looks like a more engaging changeling/oxyotl? Just pick and choose where to go and who to fight?

How did they get away with GolgFAG in current year?

>>532077771
get the building that reduces meet upkeep in the sphere of influence. i think there is one that also makes it so your armies are immune to attrition nearby too

i should kill myself

>>532078774
don't do it, how will you be able to play M3 and 40k if you do??

>>532078876
nta but that's what i used to tell myself about a completed warhammer trilogy
and now that the end is coming, it doesn't feel worth it and i kind if wish i did it a while ago

Do you think Vilitch has given in since his fusion and watched his brother plow some whores and tried convincing himself he's getting laid or does he make his abstain from sex entirely and convince himself it's a win for him to be sexless like he is

do yall think elspeth is cowboy coded

>>532080331
just wait until the december showcase at the very least, you never know what is in store!

khorne is so boring

How's this army comp?

>>532081641

Ummm you're not allowed to use that outside of emergency

>>532083427

they need something deadly yet graceful, mid-tier at least

>>532083427
Even corn has ranged units, it's weird

>>532081641
I was going to play Markus first during the siege "rework" beta but all this dwarfposting is making me want to play Ungrim instead

>>532084101
You should play Ungrim to avenge me. Arbaal pulled a nasty trick and attacked me from both sides of the mountain range at once, although it's probably my fault for only having one reliable army

>>532084101
is Markus fun tho?

>>532084459
>Arbaal pulled a nasty trick and attacked me from both sides
Just like in my BL games...

I like playing Cathay

>>532085323
Boy Love? What the fuck

>>532085323
Black Lilith?

>>532083427
From a lore perspective it makes sense, the sensation of tearing into enemies up close would appeal to Slaanesh followers a lot more than standing far away shooting arrows.

Here they come, it's just Ungrim and his army of Slayers guarding Grimnir's monument. I don't think I can bring this campaign back from the brink, but we'll fight to the last. Hoping to buy enough time to build the Deeps

>>532084459
>>532085637

How did you fuck it up this hard?

>>532085769
The others were wiped out

I believe in you anon :)

I am playing a minor Slaaneshi faction...

>>532085952
THeres a chance I can fight off Arbaal's armies sure but the chaostide is too strong. Thorgrim and Franz are gone, and the Empire is basically entirely owned by Slaanesh and vamps

>>532084908
I haven't played him since wh2 but I've been meaning to give it a try
>>532084459
you will be avenged

>Realm Divide happens

Maybe I'll give dwarfs a try, is Grombrindal fun?

>>532086229

>>532088709
I kill dwarfs and greenskins.

>people ACTUALLY play with the default lime green colored health bars in WH3
disgusting

>>532088709
I usually like to unlock one deep building early and keep it around for whenever I have extra money to build up later, the bonuses are definitely worth doing and since it doesn't take up a building slot the only reason not to is the cost
as for tech you can really do either

Red-Crested Skinks would probably trade quite well with them I’d think. Beyond that, javelin skinks and Terradon rock drops would be good ways to wear them down.

Quest battles were more fun when you had to walk to them instead of teleport. Teleport breaks immersion.

Is Thorek bugged?

You also forgot the big one
>If you show any sign of a magical talent as a young boy, you get whisked off to the Lady of the Lake’s domain to get /ss/‘d by elves until you mature into a Chad magic knight.

So what I'm getting at in TWW3 is that the Chaos Gods all hate one another...

>>532038961
I don’t think he’s referring to any relations she may have Franz. It’s more just that she’s clearly infatuated with Imperial men in general.
I’d wager that she probably drops by every couple of decades to see who’s on the throne and “evaluate” him when possible. At this point it’s probably just an expected duty of the Emperor as part of maintaining good relations with Cathay.

>>532095448
Yes

>>532096181
I'm siding with Tzeentch...

>>532096285
If you like Magic and Knowledge, that's your best bet

>>532096285
then you're also siding against tzeentch and i think that's a bad call

>>532096790
no it's based...

>>532095297
please understand they had to remove certain runes from multiplayer so they bricked it for singleplayer aswell

Any LLs you prefer to use by confederation rather than picking them as a faction leader? For High Elves its literally every1 else playing as Alith Anar, and for Dark Elves its Hellebron and Malus playing as either Malekith or Morathi (probably Morathi because I like having an extra thing to do in Slaanesh corruption)

Amusing to see these buggy gates fuck over AI too.
>>532098329
Your Druchi examples are common/typical, but Hellebron is my favourite so I play as her anyway, but you're 'better off' confed'ing her instead. I prefer playing as Franz or Elspeth (and keep the other alive, not confed' them) but confed' the others if I can like Gelt, Markus (get a hero to him ASAP he usually dies quickly), and Volkmar (hit and miss, sometimes he does very well). Greenskins I'm very flexible with, sometimes I'll just kill them outright and not accept them. My Grimgor campaign yesterday I took Skarsnik, allied with Azhag, and ignored the rest (Wurrzag and Gorbad got killed off).

>>532098329
Skragg, since the reduction to Offering meat cost is a skill rather than a faction trait, and I prefer Golgfag's and Greasus's mechanics over his.

>>532097738
