Stop living in filth. If your home is infested with ants clean it before you spend any time playing video games.
>>532548138 (OP)You should also link to the forums for the siege rework so beta testers can give feedback, I doubt they get any good advice from the stupid poll.
https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/forums/77-siege-beta
CA should reveal Dechala's stats.
>>532548624Stop telling me to clean my room mom!
Great units that are tier 0 (built from settlement):
Kossars
Kislevite Warriors
High Elf Spearmen
High Elf Archers
Chaos Warriors of Khorne
>>532549061Black Orc Big Boss
>>532548624Joyous children are most welcome
Peasant bowmen and trebs really putting in the work
>>532548624I do, I just don't live in a hermetically sealed cleanroom so it's impossible to keep something that small out. there's nothing in here for them to eat but every afternoon the migration begins again

>>532549061One of these stands out
(modded to show gold damage value)
>>532549790Is the game more fun at tiny unit scale?
>archer
>archer with slightly more armor
Why do I need to disband and recruit all my units again for such a small bonus? Why can't I just press a button to upgrade?
>>532549939Who on earth were those guys fighting?
>>532550060They are definitely decent. If only Darkshards were also tier 0.
I think TCAL picked a perfect timeframe to launch TW:40K. Space Marine 2 and Rogue Trader revitalized 40K in the gaming sphere after so much 40K shovelware. Dark Heresy will release around that time too and most likely mog Rogue Trader and have wider appeal since it has full voice acting and more polished. Those games brought over people who weren't 40kfags and that might get them interested in TCAL's game in the process, since it will claim to eventually feature all the factions they love.
What do you anons think; Will TW:40K be the most successful Total War game and will the recent success and audience pull of the other 40K titles help it?
I also have ant problems, I've killed so many I'm pretty sure I accelerated their evolution. Once they cordinated like british commandos to distract me while the team lead made it's way to my eye, as soon as it rendered that mounstruos little head it bit me and put me out of commission for the day. There was also that ant that stopped me from squashing it, bet the little fucker felt like Raiden in the first Metal Gear Rising mission, I was so flabbergasted I let it go.
Holy shit AI is completely broken and doesnt know what to do without buttladders. I just played first defensive fort battle as reikland and 2 full stack old man vampire armies just sit there infront of my walls while being completely whiped out by tier 2 garisson.
>>532550397It is going to be Total War: Star Wars.
The leaks already revealed this over a year ago.
>>532550218There is a cheat for that...
Does it make sense to go for a full fields economy in Araby or is it bad roleplay?
>>532550397Top picture: adventure party
Bottom picture: death squad
>>532550461there's less than 10 different potential unit types in star wars
no they're not going to ship a game where the only units are generic blasterguys, droidekas, and jedis
>>532549979It feels very different. I haven't hit a point where it becomes unfun yet, but I also haven't run into Skarsbrand
>>532549061>Bretonnia still can't recruit Peasant Mob from settlement
they should rework the difficulty system so that instead of giving cheats to the ai it takes cheats away from the player
>hide exact results of auto resolve and only show the balance of power bar (on legendary hide the bar too)
>cap stat cheats for units at 50% of base value for hard and completely nullify them for legendary
>cap wom and recharge bonuses
>significantly lower ai valuation of settlements with military buildings
>introduce anti-camping zone to all maps where if a unit remains within 100m of the map edge for 60 seconds without being in combat it starts to quickly lose morale like if you only had flying units
>change ai response to hidden units so instead of acting like they don't exist anymore it remembers their last known location
basically make it so instead of encouraging players to get better at cheating it forces them to stop relying on cheating and get better at playing the game
>>532550218archer (elite)
description: archer born to be an archer from birth, knows only archery, cant even talk just archery, adorned in the finest garments and armor, trained by yoda
450 upkeep per turn
>>532550278I was just including a few in any late game army and sicking them on anything big that dove my kossars or streltsi
There is nothing more cost effective against some big chaos cunt besides ranged units
Frost Wyrms are also cracked if you take a pair, they're cheaper than the big monsters they have to hunt but as a pair they absolutely fuck them now they've been buffed
In the Year of the Cope, in the reign of the sixth Delay, by Reddit reckoning, the never-ending tempest of incompetence that is known to Men as Creative Assembly waxed greedy and grasping.
All across the internet the digital fabric shifted and moaned as if it were a sleeper beset by nightmares; influencers vomited forth their worthless takes, and /twg/ and r/totalwar alike were greatly afflicted with the taint of shills and drones in their postings.
All Anons knew that a time of great portents was at hand, and rumours spread like jeet curry stench, of leaks and franchises, of greedy japanese businessemen bestirred from their island, and of woke freaks leaping eager into the development teams of those foolish enough to hire them.
Games were coming, as they had countless times before and would do so countless times again -- games the likes of which every Anon, be they Amerilard, Eurocuck or Chinkoid, feels the calling of in their bones and cannot resist.
New Total War games.
Challenge: Play Zhao Ming and only use Peasant Spearmen and Peasant Archers.
Between frost and tempest, which is better for a melee-based army and which is better for a range-based army?
Challenge: Play Kostaltyn and only use Kislevite Warriors.
Can the any of the 50xx cards run WH3 maxed out? What cpu should I buy?
>>532551019>hide exact results of auto resolve and only show the balance of power bar (on legendary hide the bar too)i almost miss the chaos of auto resolve in wh2
like those times you would auto resolve a t1 settlement with like 0 garrison and it would just delete your artillery for some reason

Dookie are fixed.

So, did they have more news on the DLC or the Kangs and Lizards update?
>>532551854Blizzard spam tends to clear infantry better than Heart of Winter but the rest of the lore is ass, Frost is much more fun and useful
>>532552104My 4060 Ti can run WH3 maxed, it sounds like a leaf blower but it runs well for 3-4 hours then usually the game will close out.
>>532552104https://www.logicalincrements.com/
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/
>>532552958>the rest of the lore is assBro your speed and range buffs? Your no friendly fire hawks?
>>532550673I wonder what'd be scarier to face in close quarters, the space marine or the ogryn.
>>532553668definitely ogres they are ubermensch race where even the lowly ogre bull has siege attacker
>>532553668Ogryn, because muhreen would kill you before your brain would even consider getting afraid.
>>532549979>>532550810For example look at this. The ogres bullcharged my line and I thought I was going to lose in 30 seconds, but then their tyrant died and my cavalry hit their backline causing a chain rout. I can't currently think of what I could've done to lower the casualties and every battle may as well be a coin flip. Crazy.
If you replaced Karl Franz with Malekith and replaced Crossbowmen with Darkshards then I bet the campaign would be a lot easier.
>>532551854your question is confusing because it implies that you take magic based on what your own army has. the real question is do you want a bombardment and a vortex or do you want wind blast and spirit leech which is more a question of what you are facing than what your own army has.
>>532555293I like to use aoe spells and buffs for melee armies, and debuffs and direct damage for ranged
>>532555606... For Festus to wipe out.
>>532550060Dreadspears? More like DEADspears.
Amiright, fellas?
>>532555785Handgunners and Outriders fuck everything he brings
Stop being bad Empireshitter
>>532555431why? for the most part damage is damage no matter what your army composition is. if you want to get technical direct damage is probably more useful for a mostly melee army since it gives you more tools for lord sniping.
>>532550397>Those games brought over people who weren't 40kfagsAnd that's the problem. Nu-40k sucks balls and the TW version would be more of the same shit cause they just want to appeal to the normies
I hope TW 40k won't be a thing, cause that just accelerate the entire fandom into new-trilogy level cringe
>>532555606Relative to what? There's like 5 factions harder than him on legendary/ very hard.
>>532556251Tw40k can be good if they focus on some old edition instead of current nu40k faggotry.
>>532556645Name 'em. I want to re/play some of the harder LL.
>>532556731I agree, but that isn't going to happen. The new (and shit) SM2 is a good example.
>>532556743Teclis
Kairos
Boris
Khalida
IDK, maybe tretch?
>>532557032>Kairos>can't even confidently or correctly name 5, at best 3twg...
>>532557032Imrik and Belegar are easy factions but both are harder than Franz
Just fucking go north then kill vlad that's all you have to do
>>532557208yea we know while everyone else struggles with him it's too easy for you champ
>>532556251I'm not up to speed with the latest 40k things, what's the issue of the current version? I initially really liked it, since the imperial agents army list looks fun and the inquisition is probably my favorite part of the imperium.
If Vlad ever pissed you off then I recommend playing as Drycha and crushing his 80 stacks with your supercharged Dryads.
Coeddil can probably solo most fights.
as far as I care the 40k universe story finished with Gabriel Angelos becoming chapter master of the blood ravens, Merrick getting his commendation, Sexdeer having babies with the Vindicare Assassin, Bluddflag nicking Adrastia's hat and Eliphas getting fucked in the ass for all eternity.

>>532557449>what's the issue of the current version?you might as well ask what isn't wrong with it. on the lore side everything is retarded now because they shifted away from lore primarily being in the army books to black library shit and the success of the horus heresy series made them turn everything into space marine capeshit. on the model side they have been shitting out garbage for a while like power armor wearing bigger power armor and sniper units with stilts and they have been forcing ugly women into every range they can. then on the game side it's almost completely turned into a deckbuilding game instead of a war game. every unit now has a defining ability and every faction has "gotcha" abilities you have to look out for. building strong synergy into your list and then busting out your wombo combo is way more important than tactical play which barely matters now because of retarded terrain and scenario rules.
basically everything that your casual fan that knows about 40k but doesn't actually play the game or read the shitty books they put out is from the 4th edition/dawn of war era. the franchise has only gotten worse and worse since then thanks to the combined assault of catering gameplay to tourneyfags, lore to marvelfags, and general gw being fucking retarded with how they run the business.
I remember when necrons were up there with tyranids and chaos as THE most threatening enemies of all galactic life. Now they're just metal pharaohs.
All I care about in 40K is for us to eventually get the novel where Ciaphas Cain fucks his way off of a Dark Eldar battleship
>>532556997Yeah, probably. My interest in Mechanicus 2 dropped instantly when I learned it gonna feature votann cringe as well.
All I care about is Custodes. They should add them to Total War: Warhammer 3.
>>532559773So you don't remember the "Chaos robots", zoomer.
What will be the "pandering to China market" faction of TWW40K ?
>>532561819Tau
They're already been Chinkified since they were introduced
>>532556743Everyone surrounding Skulltaker, he single handedly warped Lustria into his playground.
>>532562073>>532562262who knows, east asians like Chinks and japs love melee and only farsight really uses it
>>532557407He wasn't hard whatsoever before the recent rework and though I haven't bothered to play him since I can't imagine it's anything but easier.
Of all the factions in the game to complain about facing early Oxyotl doesn't really register to me. I feel like it's a meme people parrot even though they have never played as him.
His quest battles are a little annoying thoughbeitsoever.
Meanwhile in Talabheim...
>>532563363If teclis didnt attack you at the same time as oxyotl, you got lucky
Be'lakor getting buck broken by Azazel and crew
STOP BULLYING BELAKOR
LEAVE HIM ALONE
>>532565442He invaded me (Azazel) while also fighting Bretonnia, the fool. Now he's a pleasure slave
>>532563363In the time it took me to destroy the chaos factions to my side he managed to get to level 20 and attack me with like 5 big dinos and his high level oracle before I even managed to walk back to my capital and defend it.
Helstorm rockets or volley guns?
>>532566284Helstorm: Obliterate swarms
Volley gun: Obliterate elite / heavily armored units
damn now I want to play Empire
>>532566506norsca can recruit the monke man but no other WoC legendary hero, it's really bizarre
Holy fuck playing dwarfs without quarrelers really makes you miss them and appreciate them
>>532563363if he calls an early rite of primeval glory army you are going to have a miserable time
>>532567220bro your slayers
>>532567051wierd, Valkia is the only WoC who can recruit the new infantry units too
must be the new trend
Should I be attacking middenheim turn 2 as festus?
I mainly just don't want khazrak stealing it from me. I'd rather have beastmen frens.
>>532566712Nothing wrong with wanting to play the coolest faction
Should I play another Morghur campaign for the siege beta?
>Can't give feedback on defensive sieges
>Cheese offensive sieges are per usual
It's what he would want after all.
>block army
>fail
>block army
>fail
why do I even have these fucking fags fuck this
>>532568992Why don't nurgle have plague rat units?
>>532569202he thinks rats are icky
>>532569202Pestilens being Nurgle-worshippers is nu-lore and thankfully CA hasn't bothered to update them to reflect that. You can have horrific disease-worshiping zealots without le epic poop jokes and the other stuff that makes Nurgle lame
>>532568992It's a nice honest campaign, a true vermintide not gun/monster spam
>>532568992enjoy running into fucking annoying ass lizardman meme stacks of like 10 fucking bastilidons by turn 10
>>532569595Pestilens is my favorite clan but honestly Tretch does it better especially now that you have to deal with Khorne as Skrolk.
Kanker Flett as a legendary hero for skaven.
Just how fucked is this general now that all Britbongs have been banned?
>>532571180I'm still here
I may not be here when I get back from work
>>532569202Nurgle plagues and disease are all about bringing new forms of life from death.
Skaven plagues are all about purely death and destruction.
the school of light magic is good actually btw desu
>>532571180what did I miss?
Bulgarian Anons... we pass the torch to you. Take care of /twg/ for us.
>>532571746>what did I miss?I.E. most of the histchad population I imagine
>CA employees can't defend their shit decisions anymore
I'll miss them.
>>532571746it's good against daemons now that it gives the entire army magical attacks
>>532571180wait what happened with brits?
brace
md5: b6ecaeef7408774c4e681c8a968ffee6
๐
>>532572217I pray it is all a hoax. /twg/ needs every able-bodied man that it can get it's hands on to hold the line and keep the forces of evil (French) at bay
>>532549061>High Elf SpearmenLol
Lmao even
>>532571842No more brits? That's a bummer. Im sure the ones here know what a VPN is tho
>>532571842>starting in 2025>new Online Safety Act 2023lol
lmao
>>532573849I think it's because they dragged their feet getting it fully implemented
>try beta with festus
>start with a fort, go to middenhiem turn 2
>attack immediately with shatterstone blessing
What?
Did you really think?
AHAHAHHAHAHA
Maybe the internet was a mistake. It's all part of the globohomo agenda, people shouldn't be able to communicate outside of their Godly designated national fiefdoms. Thus unto the tower of Babel.
>>532573932shatterstone is cheating
>>532571842is this 4chan's fearsome reputation as the dangerous hacker man at work or are a bunch of other sites off limits for bongs too?
>>532574513A bunch of other sites have as well
>>532574594well I look forward to seeing the trajectory of bongland's virgin demographic going forward
the spartans were also virgins until age 30
How are the Empires cavalry units, including state troops? Im tempted to try a meme all cavalry army complete with outriders and wagon mortars
>>532574957Outriders with grenade launchers are breddy gud
>>532574957If you do, pick Elspeth so she can make the outriders purple and buff the wagons
empire spearmanii (shields) only cost 350 and have 2k more hp, 12 more md, 15 more armor, and 35% more missile block than a kossar spear. a high elf spearmanii has 8 more md and a better shield, but 720 less hp while costing 43% more. why do people keep saying empire melee units are bad when they are actually one of the most cost effective ones?
>>532574957empire is a top 3 cavalry faction. there's no reason to meme just use them in your normal army.
>>532574957You can get armoured spearmen state troops which will be stout enough to do whatever it is you want to do with your cavalry and skirmishers
>>532575337>>532575330>>532575124>>532575057Appreciate it fellas. Are non-shock cavalry worth using? I don't think i've tried in warhammer, I usually just cycle charge.
I just tried Pharoh Dynasties for the first time, ramesses start
Lethality is a stat that needs to be carried over into med3, this shit is fuckin great
even if the setting is all Nakedmanii, lethality makes this massive difference between garbage chaff and chaff destroyers, and the no-cav setting makes these guys fuckin bonkers
armored units tanking militias like they're goblins is pretty dope too
>>532575854lethality also makes javelin units actually worthwhile for once
>khazrak died to the npc welfs turn 1
Well, fan-fucking-tastic
>>532575512Knights of the Black Rose are pretty good against non anti-large infantry in sustained combat, you could use them as your front line even
>>532576332can't you bring him back with enough money
>>532576332Nevermind, he was ambush baiting franz, who force marched up to him and in my range. Even fooled me.
Fucking genius.
>>532576595Khazrak is the cunningest of all beastmen! Ra-roo!
>>532575981I definitely felt that, the shezar javelins with the armor in ramses faction are insane, its like chawi blunderbuss
just add some shitbird militias on the side to go bog down important targets/archers and it feels great
I have something in my brain that doesn't really let me focus and need a somewhat relaxing campaign. Currently willing to play Dark Elves, Eltharion, Teclis, that Khorne guy who isn't a demon, Archaon, maybe some lizardmen or any of the tree focused wood evles. I'm pretty out of it and haven't really kept up with the changes so I'm not all too willing to jump in blind into a campaign that might leave me feeling worse.
>>532576380Frontline you say?
>>532576870the new badlands makes eltharion much less painful, Skarbrand usually goes south to fight settra for eternity so you can safely wipe out malagor and eat ekrund too if you want
>>532576870Gor-Rok is a braindead and fun campaign since you get lord kroak right at the start, you just have to watch out for Skulltaker
>>532575854>armored units tanking militias like they're goblins is pretty dope tooI've said before that while you can't capture the visual variety of Warhammer, you can capture some of the vibes that distinguish units. Since functionally an orc, a dwarf, a skaven, a dark elf T1 shield and weapon unit are all the same 'type' of unit - no crumbling/dissolving, no weird magical ability. So you can easily make it so in a Medieval 3 game four faction's T2 semi-professional spearmanii behave like one of those four.
It's also something that was an issue for me in R2 where, maybe because my memory is DEI-ified, but every kind of unit could hold the line generally speaking long enough to flank and spank. Whereas in Warhammer chaff will get torn open and rout before you can resolve the flank cavalry action.
And frankly you can look to the accounts of someone like Anna Komena about the Latin knights that suggest certain cavalry could feasibly play off as sturdy as lower end monstrous cavalry. Like Cataphracts/Agulani/some special Latin Knight unit could be exceptionally sturdy and smaller in numbers with pikes or specialty anti-large and anti-armor halberds necessary.
Another example I want to try and mod into Pharaoh is 360 degree fire-while-moving archers for one of the guerilla types, be it Elamite or Babylon's Chaldeans (They're a bit too early but fuck it). I know from firsthand accounts I've read that Floridian Indians or thereabouts were real nimble bowmen - hug a tree for cover versus bullets and shoot behind it, second you stopped chasing them turn around and shoot. That's another Warhammery unit that could be transferred over.
>>532576870whats in your brain anon
>>532578629i agree with your assertion about rome 2 anon but in all honesty warhammer is even worse about units just sitting there and having absurd morale. not on the trash units certainly but a lot of units tier 2 and up just have absurd leadership and chain routs aren't nearly effective enough. whatever they end up doing in medieval 3, we desperately need actual full morale shocks and chain routs back. luckily pharaoh has pretty good chain routs so i have hope.
just bought wood elves and damn this nigga mel gibson can run
>>532578050>>532578337Thanks guys, I'll flip a coin and see how it goes.
>>532578905Don't know, results from the magnetic machine aren't in yet, but it's been a rough couple of weeks.
I'm guessing my mods will break if I play the siege beta thing
>>532579728best of luck anon
also I don't care if this is retarded it's gonna be fun as fuck
>>532580510not unless you are using something that affects sieges or maybe lord abilities
>>532579115morale shocking with all the army abilities and summonable units would be insane, you wouldn't even fight battles as vcunts you'd just spam the -leadership spells with flying flanks and chain route everyone with terror
sadly another failure of the base team the dlc devs will have to patch *somehow*
>>532581814I've done that one before, as long as you can deal with the auto resolve attrition it's incredibly effective.
Are people really able to dodge artillery like the AI?
>>532582228autoresolve attrition?
>>532575854Dynasties combat is actually so fucking good. I can't believe Lethality it wasn't even in the base game.
Man snikch campaign is fucked, he is surrounded by enemies that have like 100 aversion to you but love each other.
The only "friend" you have in the area is lokhir who will declare war on you as soon as one the cathay fucks do it.
>>532582825While not awful the auto resolve isn't really kind to the horses (both outriders and the Black Rose Knights), auto resolve quite often will perform worse than a player would but I find it specially bad when using an army comp similar to this one. If auto resolve is off by 25% for a normal army I feel it's off by around 50% when it comes to the horse one.
>>532575854>>532582883I've just started playing it recently too, keep getting my ass handed to me trying to get used to infantry-based combat but it is a lot of fun, and the violence especially is really well-done
not just the gore, but things like limping soldiers and blood staining the rivers
combined with smooth controls and the battle mechanics, every battle feels life or death
>>532579115Chain routing has become 'worse' in terms of being harder to pull off. I remember in WH2 that vampire/TK were crumbly cookies after killing the leader, now I feel like they actually are MORE resilient to a dead general than living units.
>>532579115Stack leadership debuffs.
What's a good LL to test new siege rework with?
>>532583362Ahhh gotcha appreciate the explanation.
Either way next up is an army of volley gun steam tanks
cheaters, tell me
is there a cheat that gives Druchii every lore like they've needed

Also considering Franz's lord effect buffing state troops, is it really worth it to have handgunners over ironsides or long rifles? I kinda want to mix it up but I don't know if I want to give up the damage bonus
>>532532408>>532532784aint touching cathay, gay ass pandering to china and have to make them shiny and safe as fuck.. Fucking gw cant even make them interesting just glazing them and turned into some high chinese fantasy shit. Hong Kong and Taiwan is way cooler. Fuck me when you are waiting in the loading screen you find that one fucking quote that takes about cathy having better than the Empire and Dwarfs, the Fucking Empire that has the famous " Faith, Steel and Gunpowder" and the Dawi that made the stuff first and their guns and only outclassed by the Chaos dwarfs.
>>532591170Not really if you're going for basic handgunners, definitely worth it if you're going for Gunderman's Surefires.
>>532591658I menat to say surefires, yeah. Already disbanded them in favor of ironsides though, the missile strength was higher
Do you guys actually bother assigning every single piece of magical gear and ancillary you get? is that why I'm shit at this game?
>>532550946The moment you see someone use it understand immediately that they are a shitposter to be disregarded
>>532591901Shame, they are somewhat weaker in the beginning but completely outclass Ironsides once they reach higher ranks and are buffed, the extra models really make a difference.
>>532592174Oh they were max rank. I didn't notice the unit count though. Is there a way to calculate how much damage they even out to? multiply missile strength by model count?
>>532592025It helps but it's not a game-changer. I usually only bother decking out my lords
I'm too lazy to give my heroes nice things unless it can actually help them on the campaign map
>>532592025Early game i assign everything, then every like 20 turns after i fuse stuff and assign it all out.
>>532592319I remember someone doing so once but it's not only about the missile strength, there was a whole thing about ironsides being sidegrades to even basic handgunners due to missile strength being off thanks to the reload time which inflated the value even though it had it's limit caps unlike the other stats directly tied to damage.

>>532594639It's a holdover from WH1 where humans/vamps couldn't take mountains, and orcs/dorfs couldn't take plains, as they were adapting to include more factions and make the system more granular. IMO the yellow/red categories should be merged with penalties closer to yellow, and some yellows moved up to green. Tzeentch for example having yellow for mountains is nuts, slopes are beyond their comprehension. +1 recruit turns is pure cancer, and the economic maluses are bad too, I get that restricting based on climate has some conceptual backing but it can feel really shitty as there's really nothing worthwhile to do with red settlements, other than sell (sometimes in exchange for vassalage lmao). Feels too like it's a semi-hidden huge buff or nerf to factions, like Gelt getting to settle in mountains or Nagarythe just permanently fucked out of the insane cash generation of holding all of Ulthuan, or Khatep surrounded by yellow and red in a race where growth and expansion are so crucial, Zhao and Miao getting kinda boned by the desert around Shang-Yang. I also think Wasteland and Savannah should just be merged, it's a pointless distinction and Savannahs are kinda rare anyway.

>>532598534>it should be made even more strict to make map painters suffer.BASED. SO tired of seeing Bretonnians and Kislevites colonizing Norsca and the chaos wastes. Fucking ridicuous.
If anything, settlements in red climates should be little more than small outposts with tiny garrisons. Sort of like what wood elves or Warriors of Chaos set up when they capture a normal settlement.
AI doesn't care about climate, population, economy, public order, corruption, raiding, or anything. So it's currently just screwing the player over.

Terror could be alright if they weren't shit on the charge but they are, it also diminishes in usefulness the higher the difficulty.
Add to that they're either very expensive or hard to get and and at tier 3 you can get way better cavalry, they just suck and aren't worth ever recruiting other than flavour.

>>532604350It was kinda fun, in my first battle one of my siege towers got blown up and the battering ram almost instantly destroyed the gate which was nice, the real battle actually took place a bit further in than just inside the walls.

>>532604664you simply get lightning strike
>>532604592correct, 35m aura is basically worthless, cavalry are naturally separated from the rest of your units, immune to psychology is rubbish, terror isn't particularly special either
pretty much the only support units worth using are ones with mass regen, mass mortis, infinite wom, outside of those you may as well just get the biggest, baddest damage disher-outerer.
>>532604350I've only done one battle so far in my poo'gath campaign.
Thoughts so far:
>manpower change = good>battle AI actually put most of its forces up front to fight me instead of leaving 30% of its army on the last point = good>battle AI still didn't actually send anyone on the walls to capture the towers until I was already on the walls = badBattering ram still needs to be faster but that's not a dealbreaker. Gates should otherwise be buffed by some other means, whatever tcal isn't too lazy to do I guess.

there is nothing strategic or difficult about the vanilla game. The AI is dumb, you can doomstack, and collect buffs like candy. You know I'm right but you're just doubling down and trolling. I have been playing since 2017 and have over 3000 hours played across these games. Don't take me for a fool, just kys instead

>>532607396corner cheating is cheating obviously. no one forces you to do it. anyone that does is choosing to make the game easier by doing it.
>you can doomstack, and collect buffs like candyyou can but you don't have to. if you acknowledge that these things make the game easier than you can make the game harder just by not doing it. the reason that you won't stop is because you are a cheater. you have 3000 hours in the game but you never learned how to do anything but cheat. not cheating is "playing suboptimally" to you because you are so committed to cheating that you have confused it with skill. meanwhile you lack the simple ability to recognize how useful something like itp is or how empire cavalry is meant to be used.

>the reason that you won't stop is because you are a cheater.
No, the reason I won't stop is because I dislike the dogshit vanilla experience. My game is objectively tougher than yours. I can't blitzkrieg across the whole map because I have a mod that nerfs replenishment. I can't snipe units in 5 seconds or stack buffs to insane degrees. My game is closer to the older Total Wars than the vanilla trash you play.
>you never learned how to do anything but cheat.
Do you seriously think I've learned nothing after 3000 hours of play? Nice cope, vanillafag. Cheating implies gaining an advantage dishonestly and unfairly. The whole game is about stacking buffs and traits so you can become invincibile and autoresolve through a dozen battles and achieve campaign victory. You admitted to doing this. My campaigns get rid of all that nonsense, so my game is objectively more fair and balanced than the dogshit you play.
>meanwhile you lack the simple ability
I lack nothing. I have 3000 hours played. I got sick of that vanilla dogshit that you play ages ago.

Why is it that when Legend played mp he completely obliterated everyone but when these supposed mpgods play sp they get completely wiped in manual battles that would've been decisive victories in AR?
Personally for me in games, the term cheating is exclusive only to when a player goes outside of what is programmed into the game to give yourself an advantage. The trick to get people to break alliances because of the bug that makes them agree more if they hate you? That's a cheat because it's clear you're not meant to be able do that. Spamming doomstacks and corner camping, I don't consider these cheating because you can totally do that within the intended boundaries the game mechanics made. It's "cheesing" sure, but not cheating.
>Why is [insane legend babble fanfic]
Is this the best SPups can offer? Mere excuses?
Bum-rushing a Chorf at the start of the game is great as they don't have the means to recruit anything other than not-slaves. It's all starting army + slaves, and extra lord + all slaves.

>>532610553They're decent and worth using, even just one unit of them. That battle I had them exclusively attack Orc Slaves as they had two units of them isolated then just run around covering my army's rear from routing then returning enemies. Most of their damage is armour piercing which is nice, and of course, cavalry with barrier is extra juicy.
>>532608995Can u post mods that do this?
The empire ai truly learned from legend how to build proper stacks. Also, I noticed there are wagons that are basically hellstorms? Hopefully this battle is not too aids.
>>532610924Nice to see another based Tzeentch enjoyer, even though you're using the woc. Also, are you using any visual mods? your game looks so much cleaner than mine, just got a new gpu but with everything on ultra I still feel it looks weird.

They also break ranged units far faster. The Barrier is icing on the cake, as they avoid losing models to chip damage between fights.
>>532614073not even close boys
>>532602295Man I would love if CA would change the nature of maps to be basically infinite in size.
You still have a small area where you can deploy, reinforcements spawn at the start of the battle and march towards you and have to reach some point before you gain control of them, but no more fucking hard map edges. Maybe make it so you get debuffed for moving too far from the center of the map to prevent infinite kiting, or just have every map have some central victory point you can grab to force a rout.

They should change how the edge of the battle maps work.
Instead of an impenetrable invisible wall it should be a grey zone, like in FPS game.
You can exist the combat area of the map for few seconds but can't stay outside or you die.
It will allow cavalry and fast units to flank units trying to corner.
>>532622076Kill Alith Anar before he decides to kill you (he's already decided to kill you, its lore accurate)
Just had my most frustrating defeat in a long time. >Fight with elspeth very early against Vampires.
>Easily wipe more than 50% of their army on approach
>my entire army instantly starts terror route conga once lines are touched
>entire army literally breaks like a sand castle
I hate Empire early game, garbage stats and garbage leadership guarantees they will instantly break and run against skellies they would win otherwise every time.
>>532622076Alith Anar and Batman are hunting you down the moment you make your first turn
>>532622569Again, why someone corner campaigns bothers you?
Its a single player game and the AI dont corner camp
>>532622076Like others said, Darkshards with shields will last all the way to lategame. And take care of Grombi or befriend him asap. Otherwise just keep an eye on Valkia and Alithanar in case they get uppity and consolidate. Once you have warleader you can start expanding aggressively.
>>532622916Empire early game infantry gotta be the shittiest in the entire game per gold cost
It folds to anything, I swear they fold to skavenslaves if left alone
>>532622916I recommend bring 2 armies when you invade Sylvania. All is good once Elspeth gets her dragon but before that you are relying on Empire Swordsmen and Spearmen.
>>532622916Meanwhile t0 kossar with spears can fight toe to toe against chosen
Which warhammer character can be played by a Pedro Pascal? For me its Wegh.
>>532623201Oh I know. This is REALLY early. As in fucker squatting at Pheildorf. These swordmen make me wish I disbanded them and just took Free companies to kite skellies.
>>532623420Kislev gets great frontline units but at the cost of lesser artillery, fewer spell lores and no flying entities.
Empire will never feel the relief of having a frontline of Tzar Guard but Kislev will never get to enjoy watching their enemies be obliterated by Helstorm Rocket Batteries.
>>5326230171) with CA's current trend you will be able to turn it on/off
2) sometime AI put his units near the edge on the map on MY campaign and i can't flank them
>>532623017>AI dont (!) corner campThey do sometimes though. For example I had it yesterday when their reinforcements arrive from that corner, they deploy and camp the corner.
>>532622076Do not sleep with your mother
Is Golgfag the only LL with RoR-specific buffs?
>>532623758This is why I always turn on timers for battles
If I got attacked and the AI is sitting on the corner I will not fucking move
If I was the one attacking then im fucked, but I never got corner camped by the AI
>>532624289How low is that timer, then? I have a timer on 60 minutes (never even gets close to that). In my experience they will eventually move anyway. Also you can have something long ranged to poke at them and they will eventually assault, e.g. long range spell, a ranged hero, artillery etc.
>>53262439060 minutes, which I just put 3x speed and wait while using my second monitor
But I think I only ever had to do that like, one time a very long time ago, its very easy to bait the AI
>>532623017>me: "i want more options in my campaign, to be able to flank from outside the map">you: "WHY DO YOU WANT TO GENOCIDE ME !!!"
Some rather strange and rare defeat traits out there.
>>532621347I wasn't referring to the older pre-Warscape games in that post, velites in RTW are pretty great.
How come my gunpowder units in Warhammer 3 don't seem to shoot? Ever? Playing Elspeth
>>532626850>>532627036>Still no "Black on Black violence" defeat trait for Arkhan and Zhatan
Who is the meain protagonist of Warhammer 3?
Also who is the maint antagonist?
>>532627659The AI on ranged units in general is poor. Even when LOS can not be an issue, such as shooting a ranged target, it's a coin-flip whether they will shoot at all. As much as gunpowder factions can be fun, mixing cavalry with infantry, gunpowder troops with artillery, it can be dizzyingly frustratingโoften is. Only advice I can give outside of the obvious "do they actually have clear and direct LOS" is to ensure they have some space around them. Another great example is ranged units trying to shoot a target going from one side to another, holy shit it's annoying watching them just shift about and never shooting.
>>532627968>shooting at a ranged targetA flying target. Extra annoying when said flying target is clearly going for them.
>>532626850>>532627036wait it's real???? Based if true.
>Halt army
>Army still moves
???????????????
TOT is going to add Ogres of Slaanesh so Slaanesh will have 1 siege unit.
>>532588337>rework of unique items and banners is still comingI'd also add that the way they are talking is inconclusive. They don't know if they want a change to ancilliary movement time (so you can't move ancilliaries around instantly), but if they decide they want this change, it will likely be together with the unique item/banner rework. The way they talked about the whole unique item changes seemed at first as if it's almost done and was only barely cut out from the previous rework, but later on it seems like they've only started on these. Either way the anons who said Sofia are the only ones working on Warhammer 3 are fucking wrong, these Bongs are still on it, partially or otherwise.

>>532631576The sieges the game launched with are so bad it's hard for them to come up with anything worse.

'ow many waaaghz cud a waaaghboss waaagh if a waaaghboss cud waaagh waaaghs?
>>532631576Literally anything would be a step in the right direction but there are so many things that would need to change to make sieges interesting and not brainless slogs and I just don't see that happening. Most of the things that would materially improve sieges probably aren't even possible on the WH engine fork anymore.
Give me siege escalation.
Give me fire propagation and destructible city environs.
Give me wall-mounted artillery and deployables
Give me siege maps that don't suck absolute ass
All they really did is remove ass-ladders (good) and make it so that towers don't spawncamp you. There are so many good ideas and concepts from previous TW sieges that could be put to work here but aren't because CA is inept and Sophia doesn't have the resources to re-implement derelict code.
>>532633178>Give me siege maps that don't suck absolute assIm gonna say what everyone already knows but maybe dont want to admit
The community will have to make better siege maps.
CAs is never doing that, they're all hands on 40k now and have handed the game to the bulgarians. End Times cant be that far off now.
Good news is the AI in WH3, even with the overly complex MP focused GCCM maps seems to be able to handle it alright.
Its never gonna be great, and Im not suggesting people copy those maps outright, but something better than the vanilla maps is feasible.
I mean, they managed to navigate this monstrosity about as well as could be expected of a total war AI.
>>532633746I actually wonder how much codebase the warscape games share. You could, for example, port maps between Attila and ToB. I wonder if you could port old siege maps into WH3 and just reskin them.
How is the new AI? Does it work?
Imagine if the next Total War game has a new engine.
>>532634294From what I hear on the CAs Glassdoor reviews, there is a LOT of technical debt and outdated tools, so I can fully believe that you could probably port them. Probably an immense amount of work tho, making your own is probably easier.
And again, I fully admit even modded maps will be imperfect. For example, in this map, they had no problem using a ram to smash the gate or using towers, but even when they controlled the intact gates they didnt use em.
But they got inside and all the way to that ridicilous castle. Half the army didnt sit outside the map and did nothing.
If I have to accept that to get something fresh to play, I'll fucking take it.
The vanilla AI is hardly perfect either, it constantly leaves sections of the wall unmanned.
We're never gonna get GOOD siege AI, at least in this game.
Best we can hope for is acceptable.
>>532632651I agree. Killing myself soon
>>532634558In practice there's no reason to make a new engine because the software/hardware environment hasn't changed enough to make that necessary. New engines really only come about in order to maintain compatibility or functionality as the standard tools and tech in the market change, like when operating systems transitioned from 32 to 64 bit.
But I think there's a very high chance they secured funding from SEGA to pay off some of their backlogged technical debt. They're probably going unreavel some of the spaghetti code and expand some features of their main engine, maybe even backtrack to an older fork like 3K's and build up from there in order to sidestep some more recent technical failures.
I think the whole idea behind cancelling all of their in-progress projects and going a year with 0 releases or announcements really indicates that the technical environment they were developing on has been all but abandoned and they were taking significant pre-production time to redevelop that environment.
>>532635215I am a complete techlet, so I'll take your word for it.
If you were to guess, when do you think their new titles are releasing?
August will see the release of the June video blog.
>>532635858Cant wait for the November (31st) release!
>>532548783any more centurii art?
>>532635358They've claimed they're making announcements in the fall (end of their fiscal year) so my guess is that from announcement to release will be 3-6 months, maybe delayed to 9 months if the unforeseen happens.
Assuming they have at least 2 parallel TW projects underway, which is what their communication seems to suggest, I would expect at least a 6 month release gap between them, but they may also avoid releasing them both in the same year, in which case I'd expect the first to come out between spring and summer, and the 2nd to come out in winter 2027.
Release plans are as much about marketing and financials as they are about production so it's hard to predict when exactly they'll choose to release things, but there's also a limit to how long they can just sit on WH3.
What the fuck, do some Skaven lords say "Channel Five Chaos?" on the campaign map?
>>532636441Yeah, makes sense. Then there's that Alien Isolation 2 they're making. I wonder how many resources that one is getting right now. I recall game 1 selling alright and getting good reviews, but it wasnt like a huge hit.
>>532636752It sold a lot over time, becoming kind of a cult classic but it wasn't a giga-seller at launch, no. It's one of those steady but low income games for CA, on top of the heaps of praise it mostly got.
Combine that with Mandalore's videos and having the smarts to take a step back and at least try to fix TWarhammer and CA should be thankful Hyenas didn't fucking kill them.
>>532635925It will release on the 1 year anniversary of Omens of Destructions.
>>532636590What did it do?

>>532640492he gets bonuses for the vamp units no?
Is it just me or have Ogres fallen victim to MPfagging and are sort of a joke on the field now? I'm surprised at how well my Chorfs and even hobgobs can handle elite Ogre armies.
>>532642506>>532641872But they're ghouls! Pathetic tier
Imagine if Vampire Count Ghouls came with cocks and could mindbreak NTR female units
>>532640492>>532641872ghouls carried my early Arkhan campaign back in 2. They are the lowest tier monstrous infantry unit and have always really good for mulching chaff when flanking.
Haven't played in ages, is Cavalry still fucked in Warhammer 3? I'll never get over them not porting over the Warhammer 2 fix after we waited YEARS to get it there.
>>532643525its pretty shit, they get stuck inside other units and then if even one model is in combat the rest will run back in like retards ignoring every command you make
>>532644024Do they still lose horribly to countercharging infantry though?
>>532643525>>532644024it's somewhere in between wh2 and wh3 launch, it's fine if you spam click but not everyone wants to do that understandably
>>532644529its not, it doesnt matter how much you spam click if one entity is stuck inside the rest will ignore your move order and charge back in and die
>>532644459If you think that makes them bad you're shit at the game
>>532644643unironic skill issue
>>532644958>charge focused units instantly shredding on a mutual charge with non-charge focused units isn't a problemI'm not sure if you either don't understand the problem they had at one point, or you're so stockholm syndromed you don't see why it's a problem.

Itโs been 20 years and Iโm still annoyed that bronze shield pikemen are better than silver shield pikemen. Silver is supposed to be better than bronze. They do look cooler tho, and I understand that itโs a balancing thing so that macedon has something strong since the seleucids get elephants and cataphracts. Silver shields only have 10 attack and 14 defense for a 2-turn recruitment unit which is not that good, producing two phalanx pikemen in the same amount of time seems better strategically, since theyโre 8/13 and only 3 points weaker overall

>The High Elves tower over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It's High Elf exploration, science, and conquest that have revealed the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of Imperial power long after colonialism, imperialism, and slavery have disappeared. The charge of racism puzzles High Elves who feel not hostility, but only baffled good will, because they don't grasp what it really means: humiliation. The High Elf presents an image of superiority even when he isn't conscious of it. And superiority excites envy.

I love how the nerds start passive aggressively talking warhammer lore whenever other lore is discussed as a way of burying the posts they donโt like. I notice this tribal monkey behavior everywhere I go. The unspoken passive aggressive ignoring of a poster that the tribe has an unspoken agreement to ignore. My favorite thing is psychoanalyzing this as it happens and watching them continue to do it despite the obvious embarrassment that should be commonly associated with being predicted like a fucking animal. They just happily do what you predict they will do, because they are automatons who only ever open their mouth to increase their status. Networking culture is a pathetic vestigial organ of tribal politics that I will hopefully eliminate when I finally assume my throne and take over the world. You may now proceed to passive aggressively bury my post after the traditional few minutes of silence to really let the target know that they are not welcome
>>532646841>AI is retarded at using monstrous infantry. When have you last played Ogres?that's beside the point, hobgobs have no charge defence and their stats aren't great, an ogre charge should break their frontline without the Gorduz buffs and even with some redline buffs, but it does not.

>The whole game is about stacking buffs and traits so you can become invincibile and autoresolve through a dozen battles and achieve campaign victory.no one is forcing you to do that. you can play the campaign without doing any of that without having to install any cheats. you claim to be tired of vanilla but you obviously never once played a campaign without corner cheating or cheatstacking because you consider it part of "vanilla" gameplay and refuse to simply not do it. now you add even more cheats on top of the cheat pile and pretend that it's making the game harder when actually you are just cheating even more.

Still not sure about what to do with the city if I won the battle, keep it or raze it
there's no reason to actually kill all these rebel armies because they have no effect on public order or population growth. The only exceptions are if they are blocking your path, or you want to try to get a man of the hour.

Does anyone actually use the special handgunners you get in the vamp campaign? Iโve found that they donโt mesh well with the playstyle unless you build an entire army around them. Itโs been a while since I played vamps. I was thinking it would be fun to build a missile army as vamps utilizing their mechanics and alliances, but then why not just play empire at that point, idk
So I've found that going after Festus and reviving the Elector Counts
>le summon le Elector Counts maymay
Is actually the ideal way to play Franz now with the AI potential, I went after Festus to save Talabecland and Hochland and they've been my greatest support so far, its allowed me to expand and take Sylvania out pretty easily and the best part is Kemmler is easier to deal with when I decide to capture Marienburg and the Bretonnian settlements. Surprisingly saving Toddy has left him pretty capable of keeping both the Norscans and Kemmler rwrapped up, however I might need to go save him soon but not before finishing Vlad off once and for all
>>532659264Ranged advantage leading to blind charges from the AI one of the best things about Ku'gath, until you start facing cathay/Gelt with lots of artillery.
Also, Lizards and dawi are such a kino pair for allied recruitment, particularly eaay for Kroqgar and Thorek.
>thunderers in front of stegadons, irondrakes on the flanks of saurus walls>dawi getting some kroxigors and dinosaurs
>just gambled on a fart and lost
I don't need an LL for this feel because I was already playing nurgle
>>532659883If you want to use shootmen as vamps just play as Vlad and get his diplomacy skills along with Lahmian bloodline
You can get it to like +70 to counter whatever the aversion is and they're all asking to team up as you kill Ungrim and Katarina so you can then spook the fuck out of Chaos
>>532659883Basically never and I play a lot of VCounts. I did once recently and they're great, I wouldn't dismiss them. It's actually what you'd like to get when you play such a faction; some ranged. Both the crossbowmen and handgunners are great.
>>532659883even Legend doesn't recommend them in his VC tier list and he was all about range spam in WH2
>>532657434nope sorry it still doesn't count. stop corner camping. stop doomstacking. stop abusing settlement trading. stop taking skills or researching techs that buff units. finish one campaign without using any of these cheats and then you can say that you beat the game and that "vanilla" is too easy.

>>532670720I pretty much autoresolve any sieges in R1 with stone walls since you either have to get shot by towers while fighting on the walls or get boiling oil poured on you going through the gate.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Mod in question:
https://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_684.htm
>>532550408Yes this is exactly why they had ladders. CAs AI is terrible. Before this patch a siege would have loads of units idle and somehow most would die before they reached the walls when as a player I could get better success just from charging straight at the gate.
>>532550408welcome back Medieval 2 sieges
>>532550408what you're describing is exactly how they were with buttladders too anon
>>532670720Rome 1 defensive stone wall sieges were ridiculous because you just put all troops in the town square, max speed and go make coffee. The towers will do the rest. With the player attacking it's a different story because the player will give the towers the respect they deserve but could still be tempting to AR.
>>532673335Can anyone help me with some ideas?
>>532674312As in, how so you translate a medieval 2 mod?
>>532673791Nothing beats playing against other players.
>>532670720they were fucking trash in medieval 2. the pathfinding was so bad that it was literally impossible to move your army though certain parts of the maps. you could right click drag on a street or whatever and it would just refuse to put the pattern down like it was impassible terrain. it also had the same bullshit as soihammer with unbreakable wall segements. basically every siege you could beat by getting the ai to get stuck in a blob it couldn't path out of around the gate and then rear charging them with your knightmanii.
Anyone try an Ikit campaign where you never expand outside Skavenblight, except undercities? haven't played rats in a while im not sure how viable that is
>>532670720They were good, the people asshurt about pathfinding have a point but they were miles ahead of the trash Warhammer has put out and Warhammer is supposed to be a modern game that's had how many goddamn siege reworks at this point.
>>532674741I've done that as Queek with Karak Eight Peaks but not as Ikit, it's extremely slow since it takes a while before you can field multiple good armies from it but if you are ok with waiting around a lot ot works just fine
>>532676058It sounds fun, i'd like to try setting off doomspheres everywhere on Ulthuan or something
>>532673030Iโm doing it in the remaster. For example, if I have a bunch of expensive professional phalanx units, and Iโm attacking a stone wall without onagers, Iโm going to have to fight on the walls with swords and get at least one or two units practically wiped out just to get a gate open, unless you manage to trick the AI and get a gate open without them defending it.
If I autoresolve, all the units get damaged a little, but none of them get wiped out and the damage is evenly spread. On VH if you send your pikeman on the wall to fight with swords, theyโre going to get rekt.
>>532666510what's this guy's deal with the retarded rat
>>532676850le funni meme rat
>>532670442I did my first Cathay playthrough after their DLC (and after they nerfed Crowmen because MPfags were seething about them and instead of just not picking them they cried for nerfs), I think theyre ok, not particularly interesting, they have a good selection of units (with DLC) but it still feels like they lack something to feel special. Their mechanics boring but it fuels your economy, currently Id say theyre in the safest part of the map until Dechala gets placed near there, most of your early big threats (Snikch, Lokhir, Nakai occasionally) dont pop off until later so taking them out is relatively easy. Id probably saying theyre just average but if you enjoy having a pretty safe area to expand and hold, Cathay is pretty easy mode for that.
>>532676850he's based and funny :)
Is this a bug? I spent a long time reseaching the tech that gives you immunity to chaos attrition.
total war modding is dead and you faggots killed it

>LL can trivialize most fights early on and it's always fun to slam a dragon into backlines especially on turn 1>fairly easy beginning, similar to helves but instead of a safe comfy donut it's a bit more dangerous>holding majority of Cathay + tech bonuses let you churn out effective armies for cheap, think peasant spears get extremely cheap and jade warriors are quite affordable too>convoy battles are a fun little diversion if you're bogged down fighting the same factions in a big war>generic Lords and heroes are solid but not gigachad like chaos lords, archmages, vampires, etc so your army still feels relevant with a max level lord>can usually corner camp with good results except against dreadquakes but iirc your cannons can snipe them pretty easily if you focus-fire one at a timesolid jack-of-all-trades faction but not as "combined-arms-required" as empire, and your infantry doesn't fold up immediately. If you like focusing on the fundamentals and positioning they're a good time.
Can someone pretty please help me in translating (and having the submod actually start) Gothic Total War v1.0, original German version into English?
I've managed to do it a few times over the years, but always gave up when I saw that the .bat file would cause a ctd.
No matter what I would do, the game would crash whenever I tried translating the mod from German to English.
Some advice and/or help would be greatly appreciated. I would ask the original author, Amon Amarth, but he hasn't been seen since 2013 I think.
https://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_684.htm This is the mod in question
Is there an utility or application that automatically translates the files? Besides the github one which requires python and pip (haven't managed to set it up)

>always take replenishment after battle
>always occupy, never sack
Is this why my economy always sucks?
>>532682171It's not ideal, but more-so it depends greatly on the faction, which buffs you have/n't taken, and the circumstance. But having a "always x; never y" attitude is limiting.
>>532682171replenishment is based unless it's someone that deserves to die
occupy never sack is stupid
sometimes you get like 50-100k for a sack so itโs madness not to take it. Especially for factions like greenskins that get bonuses to sacking income
Do not bow to greed. A good Anon knows to preserve their principles in the face of avarice.
Yeah my principle is to take what my enemies have and redistribute it in the territory of my people
Are skaven cities actually hidden from the AI? More than once i've noticed an AI give up the chase once I get my army into one
>>532680404it's cheating because it's abusing a limitation of the game in an unintended way. whether you think it's succeeding or not tw is designed like a simulation. units are expected to function at least semi-realistically in terms of behavior and role. for example cavalry is faster than infantry but weak to spears, archers can shoot in arcs but gun units can't, etc. this simulation aspect does not take into account the player using the map border to make your formation completely unflankable. doing so completely throws off the balance of unit design. certain unit types become far more effective than intended while others become much less effective. furthermore the ai isn't programmed to know how to deal with corner camping, not only on the battlefield itself, but in its campaign map assessment of whether a fight is in its advantage or not. basically corner camping is cheating because it doesn't respect the spirit of fair play, and should be seen on the same level as abusing an infinite money glitch .
>>532682171If you only play ordertide factions you're not missing out on much by not sacking. For undead/destruction/chaos factions sacking or razing often makes up a major portion of your income.
As for post-battle loot it's probably not a big deal one way or the other over the course of a campaign.
>>532683914There's often gates, forts or other overdeveloped regions which you will never have any intention of actually building up to full. If you get 3x of your gold income sacking it, you'd be dysfunctionally retarded not to do it.
>>532682171is there another way to play?

>>532684572There's a big difference between somebody like Nurgle getting 50k for sacking and HElfs or whatever getting 5 or 6k, that's more what I meant.
Obviously it's not optimal.

>>532686163you can choose the location by staring the battle and walking your units there
>>532685420Is rather be raped than be unchivalrous.

>>532686501Most maps are not created to give one side an advantage in the deployment zone. This is a gameified reason to make it "fair and balanced". If the devs want to create artificial difficulty, then I will camp the red line and do the same. Not cheating, never has been. Fix the fundamental problem and stop coping.
>>532686501he's referring to the fact that maps in wh aren't based on the actual terrain and thus you can do no planning retard-kun, the game just assigns you a pre-made map that the dev team made and it might look completely different from the campaign terrain
>>532683691beating the ai (which doesn't conform to the same rules as the player) will never and can never (definitionally) be 'cheating'
if the actions of the computer tell it to do x, and players act in kind to counter x, the players aren't at fault. if CA considered it problematic they would have the computer do y or z instead
Things to look forward to in August:
Tomb King update

This is a gameified reason to make it "fair and balanced". why is this a problem? are you incapable of fighting on even footing? you are throwing a tantrum and saying that if the game won't give you advantageous terrain you will cheat and use the white line.
>>532687312so what? if you could choose the map you would just pick one that lets you camp on top of a hill every time. if you can't play without feeling like you have an advantage why don't you just pay on easy?
>>532688159this is pathetic cheatcel cope. you might as well be saying "if the devs didn't want you to use this item duplication glitch why don't they patch it out?"
>>532694425For me, it's Ungors.
>>532694425seems like an bug, Kostaltyn and the Druzhina don't buff them but the ice which and the boyar do
>>532694225>so what? if you could choose the map you would just pick one that lets you camp on top of a hill every time. if you can't play without feeling like you have an advantage why don't you just pay on easy?Choosing advantageous terrain for battles was a core part of old Total War games (and was actually possible because you could move your generals to a part of the campaign map and the battle map would actually look like the campaign map, surprising I know) and is a core part of real life strategy you fucking mindbroken cheatsfag. If using terrain to your advantage is cheating then so is using artillery, you need to go back to the old ways where you just charge your melee infantry into theirs.
>>532694225>why is this a problem? are you incapable of fighting on even footing? you are throwing a tantrum and saying that if the game won't give you advantageous terrain you will cheat and use the white line.I am not incapable of fighting anything in this game, it's extremely easy. You are the one making appeals to the "realism" and how it's thus cheating/wrong to use the red line because it's an arbitrary gamified system. I used your own logic and reasoning on you to show why that's a retarded line of argumentation. Also the fact that you seem to think you're better than people here is hilarious to me. It's always the same with you losers, the last cope you have is to argue skill issue because you have nothing legitimate to say.
>>532695759how many bells did he have to lick to get a name like that
>>532694225yeah if devs dont want something in the game they patch it out, its their product. corner camping persists because its a normal and good way to protect ranged units and if it didn't exist ranged would be extremely nerfed
>>532696404>if it didn't exist ranged would be extremely nerfedWay to torpedo an otherwise okay point.
Okay, ready to start my coomer crusade campaign. Not waiting eternity for the siege rework. I made a schizocore rules jpg by which I shall abide. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
why is this general so horny
Why is the launcher so fucking laggy now
I wonder what the gods meant by this. schizobros, what's the significance of this number?
>>532696754>Only sartosans under Aranessa.Wow... that's... the same thing you've been doing over and over... and that you keep posting so we know you keep doing it...
>>532694781this is total bullshit. the most you were able to influence maps was if you were on a bridge you would always get a bridge map. beyond that it was as basic as getting a forest map if you were in a forest. you had no ability to pick the specific map or guarantee which deployment zone you would get.
>>532695197you say it's easy while admitting that you cheat. I can pretend that contra is an easy game if I use the konami code. after all it's not a cheat because the devs put it in the game right?
>>532696404>if it didn't exist ranged would be extremely nerfedyeah it would function like the devs balance it to work, because units are balanced around mp and corner camping is banned there.
Mazdamundi will be an s-tier lord after the Lizardmen update.
>>532697349>you say it's easy while admitting that you cheat. I can pretend that contra is an easy game if I use the konami code. after all it's not a cheat because the devs put it in the game right?The claim that it is cheating was deconstructed entirely, objectively so. You have nothing left but to repeat that mantra like the stupid, petulant child that you are. Really boggles the mind how these type of games manages to attract the room temperature IQ bottom feeders.
>>532697529The lizardman update will nerf the lizardmen
>>532697010Go to AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Launcher and delete the launcher.txt file (ONLY it, fucking with anything else will destroy your load order). For some reason it steadily increases in size over time and slowly starts to lag the launcher.
>>532697349>this is total bullshit. the most you were able to influence maps was if you were on a bridge you would always get a bridge map. beyond that it was as basic as getting a forest map if you were in a forest. you had no ability to pick the specific map or guarantee which deployment zone you would get.I have played these games for decades you retarded zoomer faggot, you're not making up an alternate reality to defend Warhammer's dogshit. The deployment zone changed depending on where you were attacking and the terrain absolutely reflected the campaign map. If you were attacked with your back against a mountain, you would be on a slope above the enemy. If you were attacked against a coast you could use it to prevent flanking, etc. The battle maps literally loaded campaign height data. This was true even through the warscape games like Rome 2/Attila and last I checked even 3K has it. Stop talking about shit you know nothing about.
On this rock I shall build my coompire
>>532697682you have done nothing to defend your cheating other than say "noooo it's not a cheat the game lets me do it that mean's it's not an exploit"
>>532696754im going to mod in the anti-pure coomer faction
fimir, skaven, beastmen, and slaaneshi norscans, lead by delf sorceresses
they dominate female LL's and can create special vassals of female-unit having factions to allow them to recruit enslaved sluts
