Aislinn confirmed, friends!
>>532130875>black bars on the edgeyou failed cathaycuck
Aislinn will have access to White Arks.
I've a confession to make, bros. I'm for once in a blue moon doing a faggot stack run. Ikit, all (barring 1 engineer) Jezzails. Ambushes in particular are fucked up. Next run will be all unique units (no dupes in army) and perhaps force myself to use allied recruitment, just not sure who to play as for it. Maybe Golgfag and pretend it's DoW.
Where will thanquol fag go when he releases?
To the same place as weg?
>>532131321trannquol will never be in the game, now matter how hard you tattoo him onto your skin ratfag
>>532131515thanquolanon always ends his posts with friend, you aren't a real knower of the schizos here
Yeah, Coast treasure hunts suck. I don't know what TCALUK was thinking making them not even worth recruiting a hero and disbanding if you only have to walk 1 turn, let alone if it starts on the other side of the world. The Coves are also trash because the only Coast settlements worth anything are coastal ones, and coves can only be put there, so you either get one or the other, and settlement is always better. It takes like 50 turns for a cove to pay for its cost when Vampire Captain makes it as well , and it will piss off anyone you do it to enough they will send 3 stacks at you the next turn. Vampire Coast is just badly thought out.
>>532131632I personally hate all "active" faction mechanics
As in, you need to do something, somewhere specifically
Imrik, Wulfrik, VCoast
All come to mind
can't wait until medieval 3 finally puts an end to this warhammer bullshit

The next Total War game is going to leak before its official reveal.

>>532132192>can't wait until medieval 3 finally puts an end to this warhammer bullshitIt won't. Cope, seethe and dilate.
Med2 had best recruitment and replenish system. It actually made sense and forced you to use different units based on what was available, instead of just spamming the best unit you can.

What's the best OST?
>>532133012Empire: Total War
>>532133012High Elves > Dark Elves > Kislev
>>532131481>Ikit, all (barring 1 engineer) Jezzails.What do you do in a siege?
a bunch of working men following a suicidal maniac into battle
>>532133283AR like everybody else. Only had to do a turn or two or attrition once.
>>532133398Why is that Slayer at the back of the army? Shameful display!
Is Kislev worth playing or are they just Empire but worse?
>no autoresolve allowed
Which faction should I play?
>>532133652kislev has a frontline that lasts more than 5 seconds in combat and that alone makes them better than empiretroons
Play Ikit Claw
Have 1 Ratling Gun
Siege a settlement
Turn off battle timer
Use the 1 Ratling Gun to kill literally everything
Only Eltharion players are permitted to stand by my side. If you know, you know.
>>532133652Only if you like Bear and Ice.
Empire is a better faction but with worse infantry
I made THE definitive tier list.
>>532133652Kislev is pretty fun and they do a fair few things better than the Empire:
Strong frontline
Amazing monstrous cavalry (better than Demigrypths)
Cannons that can shoot over your own frontline
>>532133579he's rearguard, watching for ambushes
>>532133874Uhhh who's the pontus of WH3?
>>532134198too unbalanced
they'd steamroll the entire map in 10 turns, wouldn't even be close
>>532133952Pretty sure emp art can shoot over your lines. Other than Rocket battery which will just kill your own frontline
>>532131354Who cares if they still send naval battles to a random land map anyway
>>532134610The Mortars can but I am unsure about the rest.
to the anon from last thread I decided to play the Ungrim campaign now instead of waiting for the beta, it's been a lot of fun so far but very bloody
I would rather betray the world than have the world betray me.
>>532135595*Yuan Shao disliked this*
>>532130540yesh but if they want it they would just steal it from people who have it. not every faction has to have empire building mechanics. they should rework vampirates so that all your shit is on the ships and the only land settlements you can get are pirate coves.
>>532132623>warhammer campaigns are shitNo need to state the obvious
>>532133684N'kari obviously
Its the king of shitty AR and godly manual battles
Good luck in sieges though
Why don't they just make a historical game with magic and monsters in it and have the best of both worlds?
>>532135947remember how rome had those roman ninja dudes
Is TWW3 freezing up randomly for anyone a lot lately? Never had this issue ever like this.
Randomly the game will lock up, but I can still hear myself fucking around in the background. So far it only happens on the campaign map not in battle.
>>532135947literally troy
>>532135947Sounds like the best of one world and the absolute shit franchise ruining worst of the other.
>>532133684beastmen, for pretty much the same reasons as anon said about slaanesh but beastmen are more or less complete at this point
Odysseusโ journey is a testament to humanityโs resilience and ingenuity triumphing over overwhelming supernatural forces. Throughout his voyage, the gods, monsters, and enchantresses represent a world governed by chaos and divine whim, where mortals are insignificant. Yet Odysseus defies this order, not through brute strength, but through human virtues: cunning, endurance, and unwavering resolve.
When faced with Polyphemus, a creature of raw might and divine lineage, Odysseus does not fight as a hero of mythic strength; he triumphs through intellect, blinding the Cyclops with a clever ruse and escaping by wit, not force. Against Circe and Calypso, who wield godlike power to detain him, he resists through loyalty to home and identity, proving that human purpose can outlast immortal temptation. Even Poseidonโs relentless wrath, a divine storm meant to annihilate him, fails to crush Odysseusโ will. Shipwrecked, stripped of all aid, he survives by perseverance and resourcefulness, clinging to life with nothing but mortal tenacity.
Unlike heroes who ascend to divinity, Odysseus remains human, and that is his ultimate victory. His journey affirms that while the supernatural may shape the world, it is human intellect and endurance that ultimately carve a path through it. In Odysseus, Homer exalts a truth: gods may rule the seas, but it is the human spirit that reaches the shore.
tl,dr: play Odysseus
>>532135595>noooooooooooooooooo that's not properly confucian like my hero liu bei AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>532135595only a true blackhearted villain would say something like that
Which character is the most good in Total War?
>>532136839archaon is unironically the most anti-chaos character in the entire setting
>>532136839Alarielle is pretty much pure good, her touch can remove chaos corruption.
>>532136940No that would be Throgg the bulwark of the norf
One man's Chaos is another man's Order.
>>532136945He's an anti-hero, ultimately did good but wasn't good himself.

How does Golgfag work with NAPs and then taking a contract with someone who is at war with that faction you have a NAP with?
>>532138110>duelst LLValkia, she is so majestic swooping down from the sky like a maiden of death, with a perfectly timed charge and invulnerability ability and 1v1ing any lord in the game without taking any damage
>infantry stomper LLusually my least favorite LL type, but Gor-Rok is pretty fun to just stick in and solo the entire army while the rest of his army moves into position or casts spells
>caster LLWurzzag, he is also kind of a melee LL but he can spam one of the best crowd clearing spells in the game, and his army is op as well
will they rework Vlad and Isabella? Maybe a when they drop the Neferata DLC?
I hope so

>>532135947The key problem isn't genre it's format.
When history fans say they want more historical games, they aren't saying "we want historical settings" they're saying they want games that play like the old Total War games did.
They want games whose map gameplay and mechanics resemble Rome 1, Medieval 2, Shogun 2, Attila or even, bafflingly, Empire.
Warhammer 1 necessarily abstracted and simplified most of the campaign mechanics, streamlining the flow of the game into something that doesn't really require much thinking beyond moving your armies to initiate battles. They made this choice deliberately because the addition of monsters, magic and so much roster variation meant battles became more complex and involved (which is good) and they were afraid a complex campaign and complex battles would result in a combination that's too much overall, especially for non-TW fans coming in because they like Warhammer or fantasy battles and just want to get into the fights.
The problem is that every "Historical" game since WH1 has just worked off its template. That template doesn't work when your battles are just Swordmanii vs Spearmanii x100. The campaign is what makes the simple historical battles interesting, and Warhammer's streamlined campaigns combined with the historical title's grounded battles emphasizes the flaws of both. This is why Troy and Pharaoh both failed, and why 3K floundered as soon as its release hype died down.
The solution isn't just to make historical games play more like Warhammer. But the problem is that modern CA doesn't have anyone left who understands, let alone could recreate, what made the campaign's of old TW games interesting. They treat it like an obstacle, a legacy feature that they're stuck with, rather than a defining characteristic of their games. And because of that. they just don't know how to make a historical game that people will actually like.

>>532144149>pharaoh and 3k>streamlined campaignsare you genuinely braindead?
>>532144512Pharaoh is utterly brainless to play and I say that as someone who put nearly 300 hours into it.
>capture settlement>demolish shitty AI building template>build all the food income and food % bonus buildings>never look at the settlement again>repeat until you have more armies than the rest of the maps' empires combinedThere's basically no thought involved in settlement management, most resources except food and bronze become completely obsolete after the first few turns and you can just buy them in vast quantities on the market before then. Rebellions are toothless which makes public order basically irrelevant, but it's trivial to manage anyways. The tech tree just boils down to "find the %-based food/bronze income boosts, click them, and then ignore research for the next 30 turns" and the court system is a pointless roleplaying minigame that has basically no impact on your campaign
probably the only thing that requires some thought is creating super highways with movement boost shrines to give armies effectively infinite movement range--which is admittedly extremely cool, if broken.
>>532145589yeah anon you're just good at the game and know how to cheese public order by handling rebellions. i can pretty effectively play shogun 2 at this point, i'd still say it's a pretty hard game for most people. most people playing pharaoh are consistently overwhelmed by all the things you have to manage, especially when the starting resource bonuses run out. the ai also does not fuck around and will hammer you at any chance they get with actual stacks and stacks of troops even in the early game. regardless from an objective standpoint it is not a streamlined campaign, it is one of the most complex campaigns in the series.
>>532146121that's the thing, you don't have "all the things to manage". They're non-issues. Ignorable. Useless.
>>532146225completely fucking false, were you even around when it first came out here and even people here were getting their asses kicked by the campaign mechanics even on normal? food deficits out the ass? public order compounded by disasters striking? the ai actually sending stacks rather than sitting around passively? getting trolled in the court and losing legitimacy and people complaining? agamemnon seemed to be the only campaign that people seemed to have consistent success in. i don't know what reality you live in
>>532144149the vast majority of the campaign dumbing down in soihammer was inherited directly from rome 2
>>532146586>Were you even around when you had to manage income, PO and the enemy, things which are common to every single TW in the history of CA?>This is somehow "too much to manage"Point was being made about all the other Pharaoh systems like court, religion, etc, but good job I guess?
Unironically kill yourself.
>>532146121Streamlined isn't the same as easy, anon.
Shogun 2 can be hard because the resources are sparse and the AI shits out large stacks, usually with credible unit compositions, and throws them at you. Your economy is heavily dependent on trade but the AI hates you and trade can be easily disrupted with navy, causing sudden bankruptcies that are hard to see coming and expensive to defend against.
These things all make Shogun 2 hard. You often need to win many (relatively) difficult battles before your economy can snowball. But in practice there's little terrain to move through because the map is a narrow tube with two lanes separated by a line of impassable mountains. There are very few economic structures worth investing in, not many mechanics that matter, public order that's generally toothless and easy to game, a 'wealth growth' mechanic carried over from Empire/Napoleon that literally doesn't matter and really nothing else to think about.
The learning curve of Shogun 2 is learning that it's more cost effective to buy armies and steal infrastructure in conquest than to build it yourself. Once you realize that conquest is self-sustaining your basic plan is set and doesn't vary much.
Shogun 2 has a relatively simple campaign, especially compared to its direct predecessors Empire and Napoleon. But Shogun 2 is also a lot harder than Empire.
The same is true of Pharaoh. It can be difficult, but none of its difficulty comes from mechanics that are difficult to master or strategic decisionmaking that's complex or challenging. You quickly realize most of the minigames bolted onto its core gameplay loop either don't matter at all or have one simple obvious choice to make and don't require much thinking. The core gameplay loop is "increase food income, raise armies, fight" and the difficulty just comes from facing difficult real time battles at a point in the campaign when you can't afford a lot of powerful armies yet.
>>532146868all those were not being engaged with which is why they kept failing. religion, outposts and ancient legacies are entirely to the player's benefit to handle the issues players kept encountering. i also specifically mentioned the court in my reply you dumb fuck. you've played the series for hundreds of hours like a lot of us and can play every game in the series on autopilot, this is not a reflection of how the average person experiences the games. regardless your point is just flat out wrong because people who were used to warhammer in this thread went into pharaoh and didn't know what to do with the mechanics which means it is objectively not streamlined.
>>532146595Public order being kill is mostly a warhammer thing though
All changes in rome 2 and warhammer could be boiled to
>players dont want bumpers to their battle dopamine rushWhich, judging by how beloved warhammer is by secondaries, was true
>>532147343>Play WH, have to manage income, PO, the enemy and faction mechanics>Go into pharaoh, cannot manage income, PO, the enemy and faction mechanics>This is a problem with the game and not the player, somehowDig deeper, candyassgot
>>532146595Warhammer removed weather, night battles, encampment battles, politics, culture, food, naval battles, battle maps based on the campaign map terrain, and formations and only added some of these back with certain factions and called it a feature. Plus some more things I'm probably forgetting. Rome 2 was dumbed down but Warhammer absolutely took it much further.
>>532147628where exactly do you get the impression that i'm saying that retard players not being able to handle non-streamlined mechanics is a fault with the game? pharaoh has a popup whenever you start a faction telling you how to play the game. i am simply saying the game is most certainly not streamlined in the way warhammer is.
Who has the easiest campaign in all of Total War?
>>532135698Anyone else actually just really like plain white rice? I love rice in all it's forms, I can even be ok with just eating a bunch of white rice.
>>532147447Warhammer's approach to the campaign isn't inherently bad. Anybody that's played old TW games probably remembers the lategame burnout where there gets to be so many things to do in a turn that it just gets annoying wading through all the campaign shit to get to your next battle, or to reach the point where you can finally end turn and advance time towards your long-term goal.
Warhammer is about the battles. The battles are good, and there's clearly a lot of effort and creativity that went into all the units and spells and abilities and variety of interactions there.
But old TW games were the opposite: battles were simple and the campaign was more complex. And a lot of people liked that. Complex campaign and complex battles means the two systems get in the way of each other and you get bogged down in one on your way to the other. Simple campaigns and simple battles mean neither is interesting or satisfying. Old games were usually Complex campaigns and simple battles, while WH is simple campaigns and complex battles. Both are valid, but different people prefer each.
The problem is that since the success of Warhammer, CA has seemingly forgot how to make complex campaigns at all, and each attempt has boiled down to just taking Warhammer's simple campaign and trying to tack on tertiary mechanics that just reward you with small % number bonuses and can be either solved or ignored. But while magic and a wide variety of unit types make warhammer combat inherently complex, historical combat is necessarily limited to a smaller variety of units and abilities and is always simpler in practice. And the combination of simple battles and simple campaigns just make for something that isn't stimulating or satisfying to anyone.
>>532148123skulltaker, but basically all horde campaigns in general
>>532148304it's great but it isn't a full meal
goes great with all kinds of protein tho
>>532148123Any of the horde campaigns, really
>no territory to defend>no real objectives to pursue>no economy to develop>you build up one army until it's unbeatable>then you build up a second army to reinforce the first>now the AI will never offer you pitched battle and will let you sack or raze its settlements for freeThey are basically idiot proof. Your armies always start stronger than the settled factions so you can just autoresolve early battles and it only takes a couple turns to become literally unloseable
>>532144314>had two childrenWhat are their traits?
>>532147447in pre rome 2 games public order management was balanced around using garrison troops to keep things under control. you either had to execute the populace which had penalties, or leave part of your army behind to babysit. removing leaderless armies completely gutted the mechanic because now there's no dimension to it beyond pushing the public order button.
>>532147331maybe I was playing wrong but most captured settlements in shogun 2 were totally worthless. some even had negative value since you would have to turn taxation off and pay upkeep on a garrison to keep them from rebelling. even after like 60 turns my most valuable provinces were the ones I had since the beginning of the game. income buildings were basically nothing and the vast majority of a province's value were from the wealth growth mechanic that you discounted.
>>532148414I don't think any campaign post-Shogun 2 could remotely be considered complex and if you're looking at the campaigns from the perspective of even the most basic grand strategy game none of the games are complex on the campaign layer. Even when I was younger the only thought I ever remember putting into something like the Julii campaign is what I'd want each city to focus on and whether to ignore the senate missions or not.
>>532148123Any nation with spears in Rome 1

They should put Cylostra at Noctilus place and move him (with the Maelstrom) somewhere else.
Feels odd to spend half your campaign conquering Ulthuan as him
>>532144149>This is why Troy and Pharaoh both failednever played troy so i cant say how the resources were there but in pharaoh the resources make the campaign map gameplay infinitely more interesting than "build money building" retardation

>>532150803Spearmen are like the bottom of the barrel of units. Literally nobody cares about them.
So why don't Dorfs use.
Halberds they aren't spears and look alot like axes
>>532152583It'd be an admission that they NEED the reach.
>>532149181The most objectively complex TW campaigns are Attila, Empire and R:BI. Most pre-Shogun 2 campaigns are complex enough for that complexity to be a benefit. Shogun 2's relative simplicity is an outlier but makes sense as a creative choice given the way the game plays in practice. Rome 2 is the black sheep, though as someone already said, it would ultimately become the model that Warhammer worked off of.
Are the Rome 2 DLC campaigns complex?
Why is there STILL no randomly spawning Demon Armies in areas without corruption, similar to Savage Orcs or Brayherds? Even a 1% chance would be fine, or make the chance to spawn depend on how strong the WoM are when they change in an area.
Dumb.
>>532151782Oh yeah let's just have a bunch of guys poking each other with sticks because liking boring things means you're smart.

>>532148414if soihammer is about the battles how come people constantly abuse autoresolve to not have to play them?
>>532155603not for neurotypicals
>>532155603What knowledge does a book made by the blood crazed battletard contain?
>>532155225>a noble agent of chaos
>>532152862The same arguments you make against Pharaoh and other modern games could apply to Attila. Build the objectively good food buildings that won't be affected by the climate change mechanic, almost always fisheries, make sure you have sanitation and remove the churches at the beginning of the campaign and there's not much to deal with outside of the battles. The other half of the difficulty in that game is just the AI blatantly and overtly cheating. I think you have a heavily out of touch view of what is "complex" and what isn't.
>>532155808>>532155684lets find out, hope it doesn't ruin my Thorek campaign
>>532155863entropy is the truest and most honest expression of freedom and there is nothing more noble than freedom
>>532155961It sounds like you've never played Attila and just read a WRE guide without context at some point.
>>532155808True names of all notable Khorne's daemons. Big Daddy wrote these himself.
>>532155423Honestly I think people who play WH3 and spam autoresolve must have the 'tism. There's basically nothing going on with the campaign map so if you're just map painting and skipping battles you're basically choosing to play the worst map-painter on the market because it's familiar, and your brain disease forces to you obsessively pursue familiarity or else you'll have a meltdown and hurl feces at traffic.
>>532156359I have played Attila and the WRE campaign specifically multiple times. I'm not going to get into how the early game can be decently reliably cheesed by just funneling your enemies into minor settlement battles, I'm specifically talking about how the campaign layer has just as many objectively "easy" paths you can take to make most mechanics a non-issue. And then I'd outright hesitate to call some mechanics like making your troops worse with certain tech and locking certain buildings that make your campaign less of a chore "complexity" at all. Campaigns like the Sassanids are even easier and more simple because climate change is less of an issue and camel farms are an even better source of food.
>>532149713Morghur is my favourite and most played Beastgger. I like that he's kinda under the radar and is arguably the most Chaos-themed. I like that he focuses on Spawn too.
>>532138110Skultaker is the best duelist by a mile once you fill out his skills and skull cloak

>>532155423Easy, I can waste 40min fighting a battle where I will take minimal casualties and completely delete enemy army, or I can lower battle difficulty to easy, autoresolve with acceptable results, bump it back up and continue my campaign all in less than 2min.
In my last campaign of 2024 I fought manually every single battle, that campaign took me three and half months, in my first campaign of 2025 I was abusing autoresolve and was done in 6h, I honestly can't tell which one was more fun, the only fun battles were the ones I would lose in autoresolve anyway.
This wasn't an issue in old TWs where you had to retrain your units for replenishment, back then everyone fought battles manually to avoid casualties, it's one of examples where qol create cascade effect that ruin other things.

Make a good fun skaven video game.: So Total War warhammers and vermintide had made the skaven relatively well known to the video game Community with how popular these games are but let's make a game specifically for one of the race in the fantasy setting skaven . instead of trying to do another tactical game which I think the warhammers franchises have enough of we generic ones and unless you can come up with something uniquely skaven fun about it let's make a hypothetical outline of what you can do with a video game with skaven protagonist from their exaggerated backstabbing and the four Great Clans with them being funny evil rattman .

>get bored of a campaign even before reaching short victory conditions
what is the cure?
>>532180308Keep playing. Game gets boring around turn 30 but gets really fun after turn 50.
>>532174281I wouldn't have that much of an issue with delays, but this whole situation makes me wonder if they really care about the game that much. How did they managed to pump out DLCs during the WH2 cycle so fast but now it seems like that art is long lost and they need an entire year for three LLs and some units? I mean I can understand that a 3 LL DLC is harder to make, but it really is that much harder compared to a 2 LL DLC? What are they really doing there that they're taking like double or even triple the time that they used to? It doesn't make any sense, even if you factor that DLCs are bigger now.
next guy who posts plays elspeth
>>532180308Eventually you just snap at never seeing tier 5 and barely seeing tier 4 units, and you stubbornly stay in a campaign
I think I just made a tier 5 for the first time this year

>>532185891guro and lolis
>>532185937He's one of the best duelists in the game
>>532185937yes, unless they are huge in which you will need some assassin heroes to help him
>>532186068For real? Why does /twg/ never bring him up?
Does anyone in general have any tips for Eshin? I'm gonna try and take over those remote islands between Ku'Gath and the southernmost continent and run my schemes from there
>>532185730just play nurgle
>>532185937Yes but you have to be a bit cautious. Snikch is a glass cannon, good MD means he won't fold to any but the strongest melee lords, but he still has almost no armor and relatively low health. He'll take care of just about any lord or LL you point him at but if he gets caught out it's gonna be painful. Obviously if you send him against a caster or support hero or even just a non-fully combat oriented hybrid character, he'll delete them extremely easily and lose almost no if any health so he can go for the next one.
Also do be careful with the Cathay dragons, they do push him around and that's a problem. Kind of a shame Snikch doesn't have some unique animations where he climbs on them to stab-stab, both for the cool factor and to make their duels less awkward.
>>532186152I was fawning over them a few threads ago.
>>532172371>sell me on...you wouldn't get it
>>532186152Also
>Does anyone in general have any tips for Eshin?Right at the start of the game, recruit two Master Assassin lords then disband them. You can use them for schemes, and since they're not already active campaign participants, you lose nothing for having them there. Also Eshin magic is tragically dogshit, a warlock engineer with his passive buffs will do more for your gutter runners.
>>532186152You can never have too many gutter runners, also get a lot of assassin lords to use for schemes

>>532188618"What went so wrong":
Climate change
Splitting the empire into two
The Roman army being reliant on immigrants
Attila ravaging significant amount of Roman land

But WH's OST is low tier for the series
>>532189221CA is just waiting for you to recruit an army of 19 necrofex colossuses in penance for your sins, only then will they release the update
Also fuck man, its crazy how Attila does the Warriors of Chaos endgame much, much bettet than WH2 did or any endgame in WH3. The game using the book of Revelations as its centerpiece is amazing, every chapter shift gived you the sense that the end is coming. Then Attila becomes of age and all hell breaks loose, this is what the ancient Romans must have felt as they saw the Huns rape and pillage everything in their path.

Going from playing the Dwarfs to playing the Greenskins is insane whiplash, itโs like going back to playing WH1. I know Dwarfs are one of the more feature complete races but after three DLCs and two reworks, the Greenies just feel kinda bad. Their tech tree is miserable, their economy is terrible and they just feel boring outside of battles. Half of the scrap upgrades are locked behind later tech and you donโt get enough to use it in the early game anyway. Plus their replenishment is so slow itโs quicker just to merge and re-recruit units which means you lose the scrap youโve invested. Wurrzagโs new start position is ok until you run into Birdman who just fucks your shit up, which to be fair is not unique to the Wurrzag

>>532169248>no stakes to themyou literally don't understand. you are incapable of seeing battles as anything but a means to affect the campaign map. high replenishment is a good thing because it means you can fully use your army in every battle instead of having to cheese like a little bitch to minimize casualties.

Is there a mod that turns the Daemons of Chaos Lord into a female demon?
>>532201195But if you aren't incentivized to minimize casualties then what are you incentivized to do? Winning by bodythrowing is dull and easy. Minimizing casualties is the only thing that actually makes you play better and engage more meaningfully with the game instead of just statchecking the enemy army.
Some of the best experiences in older TW games is being placed in the situation of Napoleon's campaign in north-east france and needing a single army to defeat multiple opposing armies in short order, ensuring that you minimize casualties in each battle to preserve strength for the next. It's a novel challenge that demands forethought. You're not just thinking about the present battle that's playing out, but the next one that will be fought after. Instances like that are when the strategic-realtime combination is working best.
Instant replenishment, especially post-battle, takes most of the consequences out of battles. Suddenly all that matters is the absolute outcome of the battle, the win or the loss. How the battle is fought and the price of victory becomes irrelevant, which undermines the entire premise of the real time and strategic layers being linked and intimately affecting one another.

Draws a lot of different franchises, though I don't think she's touched Warhammer, much less anything historical.
Also she seems to be a streamer at times, though I haven't checked that out as much.

>Suddenly all that matters is the absolute outcome of the battle, the win or the loss.the best battles are the ones where you barely manage to win by rallying a handful of units to beat the enemy's equally fucked up army. your campaign brainrot is stealing the fun of playing them from you because you either avoid them for being "campaign ending" or you cheese them by ai abusing or corner cheating so you can reduce casualties.
>>532157715All Spawn got buffed in the latest patch (the one that updated the stats of many units), and Morghur in particular buffs them quite a bit. Also like all monstrous infantry they work much better if they are amongst regular sized troops (e.g. Gors), so the two units overlap. I learned this with Spawn and Forsaken; the two together, then started applying the same principle to other factions.
Which is the best Skaven LL?
>>532215954They are all good at different things and strong in different ways, metafags will tell you that skryre is the best though
God I love the Slaanesh campaign...
If theyre really doing single LL DLCs then I expect a bare minimum of 1 LL, 1 LH where applicable, 1 Generic Lord or Hero, and at least 3-4 units, an example:
>Boris Todbringer (LL)
>Emil Valgeir (LH)
>Wolf Priest (Hero)
>Wolf-kin, Knights of the White Wolf, Teutogen Guard (units)
This is like bare minimum CA should add, lazy fucks cant even release more than 1 DLC per year

Greenskin armies with lots of trolls are fun
>>532224365Morathi fucks and kills entire armies with her goon squad.
Just had a random thought. Tzeentch armies always lose against Khorne armies, no? Khorne can stack that 90% magic resistance and Tzeentch jobs hard in the melee. Like.. what are they gonna do against a few heroes and tons of exalted bloodletter.
>>532231931Tzeentch have something more powerful than regeneration. They have barrier and the ability to rotate units in and out.
>>532226536It's their dlc story in wh2
How long does the charge bonus actually last? I've seen people say anywhere between 10โ30 seconds (probably includes the other titles). I was hovering over my Gryphon Legion and the charging status disappeared after like 5 seconds so I couldn't gauge it that way
>>532232080Dunno for sure but in my experience keeping them fighting for ~10 seconds or more is a waste of time and hp so something less than that.
>>532232000Mm.. you are thinking cycle charging. Well since they are slow af that only works with non infantry. And.. khorne lords and heroes and their cav are faster and way deadlier I believe.
I'm pretty sure Khorne takes the cav win here.
Slaanesh not included cause they don't get high tier cav, lamau.
What is a fun short campaign that you can do it in a day?

>>532197847This part of the map is the biggest waste of space in the game.
You have to sail for 4 or 5 turns to reach it (meanwhile you only have to sail 1 turn from Bretonnia or Arnheim to Ulthuan).
The big island is only1 settlement (meanwhile the smaller Albion have 3 settlements on it)
>>532233885WRONG. Tzeentch wins because cycle charged flying cavalry is the most powerful thing in the game.

>>532239914>an army of kids roam the map. It's in the campaign setting in the same menu of endgame crisis. Instead of telling factions without an LL to stand and wait for their death they are allowed to also fight for expansion. Meaning sometimes a small faction like the yellow dawis in the TK desert can grab a shit ton of lands
>>532239336I wish we could get a slider to adjust how much "potential" cheats AI factions could get, or better yet make it autoadjust during the whole campaign. Like bigger cheats at turn 50+ or something
Fuck me bretonnia is kinda lame

>>532240460Those are stat bonuses. I meant stuff like cheat gold, recruitment slots, agression, etc.
>>532132623I agree
I also really miss the semi-random trait system for generals/family members, it made for some incredibly fun narratives. Like the shitty king I sent on a crusade with a bunch of mercs and sub-par leftover units to retake Jerusalem hoping he'd both improve relations with the church, and get himself killed. Instead he took every city along the North African coast, and spent nearly 25 years fighting to take and hold the Holy Land against a never-ending stream of various factions, becoming a hardened, battle-scarred veteran who both inspired and terrified his men.
The only real improvement TW has made since Med2 is that you no longer have to deal with micro-managing diplomats.

why are peasant archers bretonnias best unit
why wont CA depict at all the sheer amount of rape that has to go on when an elf city gets conquered?
a whole city of otherworldly beauties, maintaining their purity for decades and trained in arts and learned in the skills of courtship and curtsy. any army from any non elven faction would simply not be able to control themselves - they would be raping every delicate elven pussy for weeks on end
CA should have it so your army gets a permanent morale buff for this would result in the army being stuck in the city for at least three turns to ensure every elf princess is passed from your officers all the way down to your basic infantry
I can't wait until the next Empire DLC. Us frontline enjoyers will finally have a chance to win without cheats.

Take a look at this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUSrPW97YqU
My guy says that Zhatan the Black is trash because he's a bit overcosted in MP... and then proceeds to claim that sky lanterns are merely "meh." My man is actually claiming that fucking *sky lanterns* are better units than Zhatan and calls them "sniper units" while a video plays of THREE sky lanterns taking three-and-a-half minutes to focus fire a mostly stationary Throgg with the help of a lord. Sky lanterns are the worst units in the game hands down, and I don't see why anyone thinks they're even remotely good. Grail Reliquaes are unironically better than sky lanterns. Just a little while ago, they were saying that Moon Birds were the worst unit in the game! Moon Birds! And just because they couldn't do much damage. My brothers in Christ, at least moon birds can fucking tank instead of sit in the air and do fucking nothing all battle before getting obliterated by tier 0 archers.

Lanterns are flying missle units, they are free damage and free harmony against factions with bad shooting.
>>532245127They're the truest neutral faction in the setting. They'll deal with pretty much everyone.
>>532244459Are there mods for this?
>>532245234That just makes Zhatan obsolete, not shit.
>free damageExcept they don't do any damage.
>free harmonyThis might have been a point with old battle harmony, but new nerfed battle harmony just isn't good enough to lug around a unit that only gives harmony.

>>532249568my moonie can't believe this
>>532250250fatigue barely matters
melee defense is great since surviving longer lets them facetank for your ranged
play immortal empires the other campaign is horrible (inb4 resident apologist appears to defend it)
>>532250250>fatigueImportant to know it lowers stats and makes things vulnerable. Fighting in forced march is a disadvantage and can fuck you over if forces are matched in strenght.
>pointsmd/ma, resistances, speed if you can, then ws and armor
>campaignPlay tutorial, unironically. It's fun for noobs. RoC is dogshit but you should play it at least once I guess to understand why peaple say it is so. After that IE all the time (or modded maps IEE or OW).
>>532250250The wiki claims these are the effects of fatigue but I havent confirmed this, so it might be outdated.
The Chaos Realms campaign is generally not considered very good.
>>532250250Fatigue matters but drains incredibly fast in combat, perfect vigor is good, walking is a waste of time, if possible make the enemy come to you.
Red line army buffs.
Try both but immortal empires has become the main mode.
>>532250968>heroes>red line buffs
>Want to play WoC/Chaos in general
>Always end up Chosen of Khornemaxxing both shields and dual weapons with 3 Halberds of Tzeentch for anti-large
Cures for this?
>>532251525You have to play Tzeentch to fix it
>>532250250Fatigue is important, but not enough to prioritise it particularly unless the speed difference from tiredness makes or breaks a battle coming up.
Campaign movement>Regeneration>Ward Save>physical resist>MD>health>MA>WS>Armour is a good rule of thumb for skills points.
Missile resist, spell resist, speed all bump up or down depending on the enemy you face.
This doesn't include faction wide buffs, incredible abilities etc that some LLs get. This is for just your generic fighting heroes.

You may want to get armour if its low. I wouldn't neglect it if you expect that character to be hit a lot and theirs is low.
>>532188396Uummm sweaty cheats aren't mods

If Kislev has a unit called "Little Grom" then doesn't that imply...
>>532250250>>how important is fatigue? Should I be walking my troops everywhere?It's pretty important, at higher levels of fatigue it impacts your stats pretty hard. Don't let an enemy catch you in force march.
>>where to put points on the generic melee heroes like empire captains? Melee defense? Armor?Don't use Empire Captains in battle. They're not very good compared to equivalents in other factions (like the dwarf thane) or other hero options for the Empire (wizards, warrior priests, and engineers). I'm not even a minmaxxing metafag but Empire Captains are just terrible.
IT'S UP!

Unit caps should be in a base game.IT would make the game so much more fun to play.
>>532254272It implies the existence of DA PAUNCH.
Omfg why are grail knights so expensive? They better be worth it
>>532250250>>where to put points on the generic melee heroes like empire captains? Melee defense? Armor?Armor reduces the non armor piercing portion of damage by .75 per point up to 100 but only .25 per point after, so it's good to get if it's under 100 currently.

>>532252970>>532257034>I'm worried about taking armor piercing damage so I'll neglect armor and also take the non armor piercing damageHuh
>>532256408Wasn't the calculation something like reducing damage by a random value between 50% and 100% of the armor stat? So 100 armor would be a damage reduction of 50% to 100%, averaging to 75%?
I remember specifically reading something like this in the early WH3/very late WH2 days.
So are all of Elspeth's Helstorms just Sunmakers? She can give them all +3 rockets per shoot.
>>532257345Maybe it's like the backpack cuck meme, but on a couch and not in the backpack, and you're not cucked, you just watch someone else play Warhammer 3.
>>532257034Bonus vs (Large) (Infantry) is both a WS and MA buff against those targets, not just MA.
So say an Empire Halberdier with a WS of 28 (8 normal and 20 AP) and an MA of 26 with a +16 BvL means that he'll be doing 20+1d8 damage with an MA of 26 against Normal targets, but 36+1d8 with an MA of 42 against Large targets.
>>532258450yes but its such a tiny amount no one fucking cares
>>532258450>1d8huh
There's dice in this game?
No wonder I lose, it's all due to RNG I knew it!
>>532259071>Reggie's video about the mod is chokeful of dogwhitles
>>532257034>>532258450Then there's also the ranged Bonus Vs Large units like the Huntsmen and the Trollhammer Irondrakes.
>>532257345How do you think female Lords got promoted ?
>>532258943The 1d8 is the 8 damage that are not AP in this example; I said 1d8 since it was shorter than "Anywhere from 1 to 8 damage based on the enemies' armor"
>>532259231That's just projectile damage. In the Huntsman case, their projectile is 16 normal + 4 AP with 8 BvL, so their shots deal 4 + 1-to-16 against infantry and 12 + 1-to-16 against large.
>>532258868>Halb example>+16 WS and MA per entity against preferred targets>"such a tiny amount"kill yourself at your earliest convenience

But I've been using them since w1
What do you use for your main line at the endgame then?
>>532260429Lords and heroes, occasionally steam tanks
>>532258148yes but armor reduction caps at 90% so there are diminishing returns past 120 armor and it does nothing at all past 180.
>>532260429based halberd user
>>532260496based fellow n/n enjoyer
>>532260637>purposefully saying something stupid in the hopes i correct you thus making people who genuinely make that argument look dumbnah
>>532260637nta but steam tanks aren't that expensive especially when you get them with that master engineer with warmachine trait
>>532258450>>532259742bonus vs follows the same ratio, which is generally 70/30
>>532260578no, only resistance to damage capts at 95%, armor caps out at 100% damage reduction; armor is only useful past 120, because it means youre rolling that 100% more often
>>532244459Lorefags:
How long would High Elf women last before being broken by rape?
For instance if they were captured by Norscans or Beastmen and got turned into the camp cumdump how long until they became willing whores who lust for cock willingly? Or that wouldn't happen? Also can Beastmen breed elves?
>>532261827whatever you like cuckfag

>>532260301
>>532262306the best player in the entire world uses lord/hero front lines in L/L
>>532261868>>532262126It's not cuck stuff, I just asked how does that mindbreak by rape effect elves? I heard it happened in lore, with Sigvald raping women until they loved it
>>532256935This just emphasizes how big an event it would be for an army to break down the gates of an elven cities final line of defense, shove a blade in the face of the last desperate defender, and stand before a sea of pale elven beauties. The resulting mass act of carnal degeneracy would be recounted in tragic ballads and legendary tavern tales across the old world.
CA fails to bring forth an immersive narrative for the player or to create dynamic, deep mechanics to reward such an achievement. Where's the fully modeled elven waifu you can force to suck and fuck your legendary lord? Really pathetic, theres not even a mechanic like paradox titles offer.
How many Irondrakes (flame throwers) should I have in comparison to trollhammers
So anon do you use missle cav?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ1EHZTdQqQ
>>532262963flamethrowers in front, trollhammers in back, figure it out
>>532261827I think it depends on the severity of the Beasting degredation. It's not the same if you are just raped by gors and ungors a gew times every day vs getting used by minotaurs, centigors or even razorgors and further degraded by being fed cum and shit as only food. That will break down a woman more, destroy her will and self esteem, make her realize that she is no longer a person with dignity, but a piece of meat to be used at will by beasts of chaos that defile her womb and anus dozens of times per day. If she only rests for a bit and every waking hour is being fucked and servicing cocks that also takes a toll. And finally if she can birth rapebabies, she might get attached to them and nurse them due to maternal instinct and start feeling attached to her breeders as well, as the beast DNA will remain. So she will eventually learn that there is no hope this is her life and either start enjoying it give in and become a whore that lives for beastmen cocks or try to kill herself to die on her own terms.
>>532263170I only like them if they're somewhat decent in melee too like sisters of thorn or khorne marauders.
If you have them shooting their damage output sucks and if you don't regular cavalry does the same thing better.

if ToT is shit CA are gonna get eaten alive after all these delays
>>532261827It really depends on the race involved and what you would constitute as "break".
>Beastmen>>532263997>HumansAlthough seemingly unimpressive, one cannot count out the ability of a human soldier (especially a g*rman) to let loose their pent up frustrations with their lives by raping elven pussy. They'd be riding high and likely cut loose by their commanders for at least a few days to have their way with whatever elven woman comes before their looting bands. The attacks would be unsophisticated but the lower intensity compared to a beasting would result in less likelyhood of the elf wench's mind instantly blanking, but I don't think they'd really get into breaking them unless a true pervert got their hands on one.
> DelvesDark Elves would lend a refined touch to the usual brutality of rape, ensuring the maximum suffering of their long hated foes. There would be games made of it, designed to elicit shame and disgust of their victims - such acts such as forcing them to whore themselves to save their male counterparts before killing their kin anyways. While perhaps they could break the high elves' minds faster than other races, they would surely work to make sure to take as long as possible, for their own degenerate pleasure.
>GreenskinsAlthough lacking junks, the goblin love for sadistic tortures would likely involve carnal torments of elves whenever it could provide a source of amusement, likely up to and including being forced to fuck their wolf mounts. While their attention would likely be too scant for an in depth breaking, more than a few survivors of their attacks would become obedient slaves as a means of survival - seeing an elf debase herself to a goblin would likely provide enough gratification of the greenskin's ego to allow her to survive for a time, at least.
>>532268336>>532261827>SkavenThe nature of the skaven's attack would, of course, be a mass gangbang of the elven maidens, likely moving down based on caste - seers would select the most beautiful elves for themselves, before rewarding the blackfurs and other important skaven with a harem of fuckable elven flesh, while the clanrats would scrabble and scrape over each other for a chance to stick their cocks in a well used elven puss. Each clan would likely move on to a different approach for the more refined mindbreak - eshin poisons to drug them into a lustful stupor, moulder crossbreeding techniques to make them demur playthings, skryre surgical alterations, so on and so forth. The cruelty and pride of the ratmen would ensure they would actively seek to reduce proud elven princess into mewling whores dirtying their knees before their new masters.
>Norsca/Chaos/FimirSlaaneshi chaos worshipers would be the creme de la creme of rape. The fimir especially would be well versed in the deepest lores of rape, knowing each and every way to humiliate and torment an elven mistress, and to ensure every act of rape is experienced fully by the victim. Each act of carnality would be not to just break the elves' resistances to a world of excess and delightful torment, but to venerate their dark prince. I would expect the elves to break rapidly, and then be worked hard to find each and every means and method to break them and create new converts, eager to work the same magic on their sisters to please their new patron.
>Chorfs / DorfsAlthough infused with deep incel hatred of women, their short statures and impotent cocks would making any attempt at a mind breaking rape truly farcical. You'd probably see them make a go at an elf, kill her out of embarrassment, and then drink themselves into a self loathing stupor. Total dawifag mindbreak in thirty minutes.
>>532256408>>532260578bro you dont know how any of this shit works and somehow are even more clueless about math
>>532268675>You're all wrong>What, no, I'm not telling what's right, you're just all wrong :)
It seems to be consistent across generals that past 600 posts the thread turns into shit.
>>532260496>just start the game with an army of capped units and tier 5 units broi swear you niggers are being retarded just to generate discussion again
>>532256408The way the math shakes out means its actually really rather irrelevant until around 80-90 armor and then becomes more valuable the more you put into it. Even though the x% you get is somewhat lessened past 100, your effective HP rises faster the closer you get to a theoretical 100% damage reduction.
>>532268954>people feel free to shitpost when the thread is about to diehow insightful anon, did you come up with that all by yourself?
bros I can't wait to be jobless
I'll be playing non stop
>>532269168Uh, why? How does that work?
>>532268826armor cap is 100% which is 200 armor and is fucking useless at lower values so trying to give a unit with 20 armor another 20 armor is pointless
armor becomes better the more you have it
you gave the exact polar opposite of the truth as an answer because you are a clueless retard
I think the minor AI buff has some oversight cases. They had this at turn 5 (ended their turn in march stance so they weren't recruiting).
when exactly did Indians replace Blacks as the go to when it comes to race based insults on the internet?
>>532269289No, I saw someone else post it before. Not my observation, unfortunately. I do, however, appreciate the effort that person put into it.
>>532269814After that one Kitboga video
>>532269516You have 100 hp. You have 0% damage resist. An attacker hits you with a 100 damage attack. You die in one hit.
You have 100 hp. You have 10% damage resist. An attacker hits you with a 100 damage attack. You die in two hits.
You have 100 hp. You have 80% damage resist. An attacker hits you with a 100 damage attack. You die in five hits.
You have 100 hp. You have 90% damage resist. An attacker hits you with a 100 damage attack. You die in ten hits.
So a +10% reduction in damage can either be "I take one extra hit" or "I take five extra hits", depending on how much damage reduction you already had on you. It is not as clean in WH3 but the general principle still holds out. This is also why its better to stack all your ward save gear on one guy than to spread it out.
>>532269371thats what i thought too but you get to a point where you dont do anything else and it's not as fun any more
>>532269516damage taken is reduced by the armor % so at 95% and 90% while only a 5% difference makes you have twice the effective hp
100 x 0.05 = 5
100 x 0.1 = 10
>>532269620So it's basically what
>>532258148 said and you're just being pedantic because there's no risk of getting punched in the throat over it.

What the FUCK is he doing here? Only person he's at war with is on the donut. Is this why he often gets annihilated early on in campaigns as he just fucks off away from home?
The ability of the ai to individually control each individual soldier so they can perfectly move through your infantry is some bullshit.
>3 units of infantry one after the other with nothing but walls on each side (so you have to get through all 5 ranks of each unit to pass)
>somehow enemy marauders squeeze through those three units to hit the crossbows in the back
I like how this is supposed to be a total war general but only one game gets discussed along with being sidetracked talking about the lore instead of the game itself.
>>532273205Based selective attention shit-poster.
>>532271038Outriders are weird. While most missile cavalry is far worse than their ranged counterpart (for example Goblin Archers deal 11 000 raw damage per minute, while Wolf Rider Archers deal 8400, ie regular archers are 30% stronger), Outriders are actually 20% MORE POWERFUL than handgunners. If you can get them into good position they'll absolutely shred stuff. Of course shorter range and 2x faster ammo depletion are tradeoffs.
