CUM POTION LEND ME VIGOUR

this rato could get it

Who the fuck is Sirion and why would his eyes guide chaos warriors?

can someone post the picture of a group of skaven making a chained dwarf look into the mirror at his freshly shaved face

I remember why I hate nakai and gorrok quest. they both die too quickly if I don't send in some flanker to help them out.

>>532699519
he cute :)

>>532699325
lmao you have to forest cheat and didn't even disband the zombie. enticity beat that battle in a straight up fight with only humans. just stop posting it's embarrassing to see you expose yourself like that.

poor little empire soldiers eaten alive by dragons

what a shit campaign, this is what my territory looked like at turn 70 and by turn 85 I have all of norsca
Kislev is really feast for famine isn't it

>>532699867
Don't know who that is but thanks for the (You)

>>532700584
i dont see any dragons in your image

lol ratfags and cheatfags desperate for attention again

Too ugly to live.....
>>532701003
The lord and a hero is on one, I love WoC so much bros

>>532702473
I will now play your miniature game

there wouldn't happen to be a map of the immortal empires campaign with everyone's defeat traits listed at their starting positions, would there?

>>532703107
why doesn't she have a nipple?

>>532705119
she's a fish

Warfare is cheating. Leaders should settle their differences in 1 on 1 deathmatches

>>532705256
but where am I suppose to get my milky wilkys from?

Combat is cheating. Leaders should settle their differences in the courtroom.

uh oh cheaters having a melty again because they don't want to admit that they're cheating

>>532699320

Ratfags getting frisky again

>>532706642
skink bussies are BUILT for rat cock

50 turns into an Ikit campaign and I forgot I could use regular warlock engineers to place undercities

>>532707663
Did you also forget you can scroll down in the weapons team part of the lab?

The fuck is this thing? I've been paying attention but i don't remember this one. Very appropriate for a coomer theme but the barrier and charge reflection are useless. The miscat change will help enemy casters kill themselves a little faster at least.

Quick question, do Loremasters of Hoeth get magic attacks by default? My Cavill finally reached level 16.

:)

>>532709464
no, they just get pussy by default

>>532708090
oh SHIT

>>532701107
>Playing the vanilla version of the game exactly as the devs intended?
Cheating.

100% ambush chance means your army is basically invisible right

>>532713116
No. It can still be found if it's near enemy agents or lords. But if it's not near those, then it guarantees it will ambush whatever gets near their ambush range, as long as the enemy doesn't have ambush protection to offset your 100%.

>>532709497
Bro didn't want to play as pontus

>>532714513
they weren't greek enough

Give it to me straight. Is there something better than 1212AD ?

So instead of taking a capital in 1 turn it takes
>1 turn to besiege and set up siege equipment
>enemy sallies forth anyway that turn and loses which resets your siege equipment building
>1 turn to RESTART building siege equipment to take the town with 1 lord and a quarter of a unit left alive in it
>1 turn to actually take the town
nice beta test CA

>>532717669
no

>>532699063 (OP)
Favorite Legendary Lord to play as? For me, the only campaign I've played to and past the end game crisis is Ungrim Ironfist.
That run was great.
Belegar Ironhammer and Thorgrim both survived and did good and we were all bffs.
The end game WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH spawned right next to me and Thorgrim and i watched as its armies vanished as Thorgrim had two armies by the city and when the turn ended, the orcs were gone and those two armies and local city garrison were all but gone lol

>Playing Dark Elves for the first time
>All the T1 units have silver shields while T2+ have none and get minced

Am I seriously supposed to have half my army Dreadspears and Darkshards the whole game

>>532699338
Malus Darkblade.. eat this
>hands him a snickers

>>532718417
your cavalry? your chariots?

>>532718417
Your infantry have means to resist range whether its dodging, phys resistance or shields

>>532718417
why are you missile unit trading with dark elves?

What's the fastest way to grind these warp fuel canisters up? hero actions don't seem to do shit

>>532720338
More hero actions, play exclusively with engineer lords, that's about it.

Think the biggest missed opportunity is for factions that are the same race to not have voicelines when you're the "faction leader" its kinda weird how some random dreadlord goes "yeah im hot shit who the fuck are you? you're nobody" to fucking Malekith

>>532720452
Assassinations? they hardly seem to count tho

>>532720845
You're using engineer heroes right?
Aside from that my strategy was keep them fucking around and constantly stealing technology in the wood elves forests for easy points, clan Eshin assassins clearing the heroes and expanding the under empire under every tree until I'm ready to explode it all at once, by that point I already have almost everything worth getting and a healthy supply of nuclear weapons for emergencies.

>>532721217
I am yeah. I'll keep at it, appreciate the advice anon

>>532717937
>>1 turn to RESTART building siege equipment to take the town with 1 lord and a quarter of a unit left alive in it
That's not how it works at all. In fact I've seen it speed up siege construction because they have some weird algorithm now that compares your troop numbers to their troop numbers so if they lose a lot of guys from a sally you end up with more siege towers than you expected over the end-turn

>>532718417
You're supposed to use these units called "cavalry". you'll recognize them because they're tiny little men sitting on the back of a quadruped with a funny long face known as "horses". the thing about these mythical creatures is that they're fast, faster than the tiny men in their backs, so they get really fast to those missile units and fuck them to death with their giant horse cocks.

>>532722351
how do i use cavalry in pharoah

>>532722351
dark elf cavalry only have 2 legs

What is a fun faction in Total War PHARAOH?

The Coomer Crusade claims it's first LL

>>532722351
sounds hot

>deletes a whole unit every 30 seconds

heh, nothing personnel man-things..

>>532724821
If you don't have extreme contempt for every creature you kill then you ain't doing it right.

>>532700703
maybe if you put a single cavalry unit into your army you would not be so fucking bad at the game

>>532724821
the ai spamming this at the calculated most damaging spot on cooldown is gay

>>532725916
Horse archers like every other kislev unit are hybrid melee you trog.

>>532713116
only oxyotl has real invisibility in ambush stance

>>532726073
according to their unit card maybe but in reality they are fucking useless in melee

>>532724397

Is there any Greenskin who makes good use of spiders?

>>532727726
Grom's gobbo skill applies to spider riders
Give Snagla to him or that one lord from the tech tree and they hold their own pretty well

>>532696754
This is the most autistic thing I've seen from you yet
>I want to do something different! I'm going to make a themed campaign! Kuh-razy rules!
>W-well no I still have to play as Sartosa...

>>532726073
Hybrid is a meme, armoured kossars cannot ranged duel anything ranged, kossars cannot beat down anything melee
So they're functionally just the same heavy infantry/archers line as a non-hybrid army

>>532699128
More of this?

>>532733662
die

I'd rather use nothing but darksharts/dreadspears and bleakswords for half the game because druchii cavalry sucks fucking dick.

How is the AI able to spam so many armies

I have basically the same income as Altdorf but I can only afford 4 armies, meanwhile they have 18. Playing on hard. Is this normal?

>>532734810
Yes. AI completely ignores economy and don't let anyone here convince you otherwise.

>>532734810
Are you talking about counts? Just rape them.

>>532734872
I mean, it seems to very much the case. The real question is, how is this any fun when a faction with 1 settlement can make more armies than me?
>>532734886
No, Altdorf/Reikland. Karl Franz has taken over a lot of territory. Also I'm using the detailed stats mod to see this information.

Has anyone made a mod that replaces Cathay's music with 3K music?

>>532735164
I think ca nukes mods like that because they get pissy with mods that use other ca game assets, but I could be misremembering. might have to be diy project

>Total War: Warhammer III
Is this poorly balanced shite with running on outdated spaghetti code playable yet? They charged full price for this piece of shit which is nothing more than a WH2 expansion pack ( and a poor one at that)

How is the balance in your campaigns? Seems like Kislev, Empire, and Bretonnia clean up in every campaign I play. Are we in an ordertide era right now?

>>532735610
Cool to do once, grossly overrated for being "bad" or "shit" by shitters (90%+ of TW players)
Decent, plain simple and boring, but overall decent (especially if new to Liggers)
Faction sucks, environment/campaign map area sucks, but yet easy and boring; poor voice work, poor lines, ugly character, ugly faction
Overall great, interesting how the LL has horde mechanics yet also still has regular settlements and provinces. I just wish he didn't boost slayers so much, and instead more on gunpowder
Very strong and great fun and again filters most people due to being shitters (see: micro; AR)
Very much the same as the other Chorfs: good and fun,(there's very little variation between the 3 Chorfs sadly other than Drazoath is the hardest), and don't neglect to get some more bulls as him

good faction if I am racist?

>>532735875
There are no "eras". If you play the game a lot (in particularly actually go past turn 20 unlike most people) and actually play a lot of different campaigns with different factions in different regions within each big patch you will see how chaotic and varied it is. There's no "x always wins/y always loses" or "always chaostide/always ordertide". You occasionally see people bitch about ordertide, or chaostide, that alone should be telling.

>>532735610
>Malus Darkblade
Top of the list of lord you want to confederate but not play as, he's mechanic is annoying and he work better without them.
>Gor'rok
One lizard doom stack, his campaign is the vanilla lizard experience.
>Miao Ying
Noob trap the campaign, it trick you to focus on gates while rats are your real enemy.
>Malakai Makaisson
Dwarfs sucks and him being the best dwarf campaign doesn't really mean anything.
>N'kari
Don't play slaanesh before his dlc because the race just doesn't have as many tools as other chaos factions, Azazel on the other hand is ok since you're mostly spamming chaos warriors.
>Astragoth Ironhand
I don't even own the chorfs dlc.

Holy shit TWW2's campaign map was so much bigger and detailed

>>532736209
Pontus

>>532735875
For some 20 something games my experience has almost always been that orcs and VC fail and die, reikland always survives and sometimes they become a beast sometimes not, Couronne often becomes strong but not alwayws

>>532737602
>Map focuses on a smaller area
>It is more detailed

>>532736257
then there must be something fucked up with my mods because Bretonnia, Kislev, and Empire go crazy on every campaign. Anyone have this issue?

>>532734810
The game tells you that increasing campaign difficulty reduces their upkeep

>>532736937
>being the best dwarf campaign
That would be Belegar

>>532735610
>Astragoth Ironhand
You punt some orcs, then get wagged by Grimgor and pray Greasus doesn't declare on him and your south isn't invaded by ratniggers

>N'kari
actual challenging campaign before dlc gives you op tools. Your starting position is PAIN but forces you to actually play smart with your strenght, give a womb tatoo with agent actions for bonuses. Halescrourge chaos warriors/marauders are superb tanks

>murderous prowess triggers
>battle is already over
every fucking time

>>532738469
Yeah but I'm playing on hard, I didn't expect it to be so insane. I can't imagine how ridiculous legendary is.

so now that even the bulgarian orcs can't fix wh3, whats next for total war?

Tenacious or Insidious for Morathi?

>>532740118
Early game that's typically the case. But then mid-game you get battles where the fight goes on long after it has been activated. Imagine fighting some shit like Ogres and it just never activates.

give me something's leg

>>532740493
Tenacious is significantly better unless you are certain you'll be maximising Insidiuous' specific boosts.

>>532734810
because the ai is incapable of playing the game so the only way they can pose any kind of a threat is through sheer numbers
you got a bunch of morons always asking for the ai to play by the same rules as the player but that is just boring as shit because there is no ai in the world that will offer a challenge that way

>>532741085
Thanks anon also unrelated its very weird that Morathi's slaanesh units dont even benefit from murderous prowess

>>532741159
Why not, just make it very expansionistic
Like Deepwar™ AI mod

Is Ancient Salamander some kind of joke unit?

>>532741523
please understand multiplayer is very serious business and the 20 people playing it got very upset by this unit

>>532741218
>Slaughter! There is no greater glorification of Khaine, the God of Murder, and no more popular form of worship among the Dark Elves. It is through killing that Dark Elves rise above other beings. Once engulfed in enough bloodshed, they will often feel their murderous prowess increase, as if Khaine himself was guiding the blades of his disciples.
I'm guessing it's Dookie-specific due to their bloodthirst for Khaine or so. I presume ally-recruited units do not benefit from it either (if they're not Druchii)

>>532741328
expanding does not make the ai capable of playing battles
the only way you will ever lose against vanilla or modded ai is by getting too lazy to fight manual battles because of the loading times and slowly getting all your units damaged by autoresolve then finally getting caught by a full stack

is there good mods for norsca

Also, stop stealing my units.

No.

I haven't played since Chorfs
Any new faction on the horizon?

the absolute state of this

In the previous thread there was an anon playing as Repanse and they were at war with Volkmar.
They posted a picture of an offering of peace in exchange for Volkmar giving the player 1400 gold and the player joing Volkmar's war against Skarbrand.

I don't know if I've ever had a war with a faction and made peace by offering to join their war against one of their enemies.
How often does this kind of thing happen to you anons?

>>532745337
I never could get used to this UI even though I partially played a lui bei campaign, I kept getting fucked by the diplomacy in 3K
like
everyone hates you more than order hates chaos in WH
just for existing and expanding a bit

>>532745581
A lot of it depends on balance of power, if they're hard pressed they're more likely to bend over
Or just offer them any settlement with a military building and get a military alliance/vassal because they still haven't fixed this

>>532745765
>no question mark in the title
>question mark in the thumbnail
Content """""creators""""" truly are a cancer.

>>532745813
next time I Would definitely pick a corner faction to learn the game

i love the 3 kingdoms show and the characters though, I hear the new sabaton album will have a lu bu song

AI strength & threat assessment - should that be on or off?

Went back to Warhams 2 and am playing Imrik in the Vortex campaign so I have something I'm actually collecting those dragons for. I think 2 is still better than 3 in a lot of ways, having actual objectives and quicker load times plus somehow I feel like it looks better than the newer game.

>>532746249
oh yeah you can get zhao yun i had him in my liu bei run, thsi guy is a beast

>>532745813
>a bit
>is by far the largest and most dangerous faction

>>532746001
>and we alone

>>532746701
I'm just a chill guy

>>532745187
No and at this point it clearly isn't going to happen, we're down to just three new lords a year.

>>532745813
i bruteforced myself to get used to it and it is surprisingly decent at conveying information but making the main colour bright white was definitely not the play
diplomacy is important in this game which is why im doing a this is total war playthrough

This campaign has been incredibly tough, slow, and delicate. Tretch, Greasus, minor Ogres to the south, and Ghorst all declare war on me immediately on sight, so all were at war with me at turn 10 and focusing on me (even Ghorst ignoring Ku'gath and Ku'gath just marching in and out of vampire corruption, never actually attacking). Finally making a comeback. It's amusing stressing an already tight and stressed economy and faction. After beating Tretch to an inch of his life he asked for peace and I usually wouldn't but that lets me focus East.

>>532744231
Imrik's daughters from when he went there to get the Frozen Breath.

>>532747990
>After beating Tretch to an inch of his life he asked for peace and I usually wouldn't but that lets me focus East.
Bad move, I just made that mistake in my Astragoth campaign and as soon as I moved my troops out of the area he declared on me and started attacking my settlements again.

>>532745765
>Valrak this confident on it happening
Yeah, this dude always says to take his word with a massive grain of salt, he must have seen definite proof of it.

which faction will /twg/ be playing TW 40k first?

for me, it's custodes, unless it has women, in which case i will wait for a mod to remove them

>>532748216
he shoots everywhere and when it lands he pretends he knew all along. Why people still give this kind of cunts views? If there's a tangible info about the inevitable 40k total war I know this gen would spam it

Have >ourguy spoken anything about the rework yet?

>>532748194
So far it's been okay, he's taken out Imrik amazingly and has fucked off elsewhere. It's a gamble either way. This whole time I've had to very slowly defend every front with 3 armies + settlements. Baiting some of enemy armies around by 1-turn raids and alike. So, thus far, (many turns later), not been a bad move–quite the contrary. Lost count how many times I've played Drazoath but this is the hardest I've had to deal with him and I'm aware he's much harder than most.

Make sure you let your flying mounts rest sometimes, anons.

>>532748228
Custodes will be a third game faction at best. In all realism the first game will just be Marines, Chaos Marines, Eldar, Orks and maybe Guard.

>>532748228
Custodes will be a third game race
Gotta milk that franchise and they need a heavy hitter for the third game
Also I expect knights in 3rd game only because they are a SEM army

>>532748357
>maybe guard
>warhammer launching without empire
doubt

>>532747990
>(even Ghorst ignoring Ku'gath and Ku'gath just marching in and out of vampire corruption, never actually attacking)
AI being eiher completely fucking idle for twenty turns or having a multi-front war with the player that has no pressure at all on the non-player front really ruins this game

>>532748530
Empire is Marines in terms of proeminence
In terms of theme composition, I agree with you

>>532748194
>as soon as I moved my troops out of the area he declared on me and started attacking my settlements again.

>>532748312
He doesn't shoot every where, he specifically tells what's he's most confident on happening and he's the only one who even knows theses rumors at all.

>>532748608
It was rather disappointing, honestly. As stressful as it is, having to turtle and actually plan ahead and think for ~40 turns every turn getting pressured and nearly every victory being phyrric is fine and all, I welcome it, but when a neutral (to me) AI who is also at war with them, and is right next-door to them, legitimately fucking throws every single turn in the drain in a retarded fashion really shows at how rigged the game is in a silly and extreme manner. Ku'gath is friendly with me, he loves that I'm destroying his enemies and has zero negatives for me (all positive in the diplomacy screen) but can't attack FREE settlements he's next to? Come on, CA.

Still yet to do the quest battle due to the incredible pressure. I'm now in that grey point where I could but it's a gamble. Betting on finishing off Greasus and Ghorst first (now).

>>532748653
>Empire is Marines in terms of proeminence
no... ? space marines are extremely rare in 40k lore, 1 million exist, thats 1 for every imperium controlled planet

>>532748852
I mean proeminence in the setting screen time you retard, not their actual numbers

>>532748945
imo space marines and imp guard will be one faction as "imperium" anyways, they'll be special units as such, not their own faction like in dawn of war

>>532748530
>>532748852
Retard, every 40k game launches with space marine wank because people like the power fantasy the most (also why AoS made sigmarines)
But then adding guard would deprive space marines of sworn enemies so guard always ends up coming in later
>>532749079
Also fucking retarded
Everyone in this thread should die

>>532749079
Wont happen, first of all IG have a full indepent roster from marines, are one of the most popular armies in tabletop, and have their own rules
Second of all, GW wants to sell minis, and it makes it far easier to have the same divisions as in TT

>>532749079
Secondary, maybe even tertiary, opinion desu
Only someone who never played the TT could believe this

>>532749303
>>532749339
how will the space marine rosters look, they'd have extremely OP low entity units mostly, that's fucking boring for total war, think about it, imp guard type organization fits the series way better

>>532749479
Again, I repeat, you never played TT and your opinions are formed based on lexicanum reads, youtube hypebeasts and space marine vidya
Mean this not as direspect, but you cant really grasp how mundane killing marines is in the TT, even for a single IG squad

>>532749479
The way they do on the tabletop
>hurrr how will Ogre Kingdoms look that's fucking boring

>40keks still coping
This is just SAD

>>532749079
>will be one faction as "imperium"
Every faction that has a separate codex on the tabletop will be a separate faction in the game.
This isn't rocket science.

Tablesloppers, what agents would standalone space marines have? Like do they get assassanorum assassins or do those scout sniper type marines be the assassins?

>>532749691
You're right but also, you're right, Ogres are fucking boring.

>>532749479
play dawn of war kid

Good fight incoming.

its always a silly disconnect how in the novels and in 40k lore in general space marines are supposed to be like worth a 1000 men each but in the games they can get killed by a few orcs lol

>>532749479
Man this general has the most creative bankrupt niggas ever.
>Low unit count
>Specialized units
Done.

>>532749991
>1 artillery piece
tf you doing nigger

>>532750024
This and how the overall cost, quality, and rarity of space marines has dropped a lot over the years. It was very high quantity pre-HH, then post-HH they were rare, expensive, one-man-armies, and now with the introduction with nu-marines they're cheap shit. Even ignoring TT, it's just the sad reality of how GW has had so many different writers for the same things and each guy has their own headcanon so you get a lot of conflicting themes and information.
>>532750043
>hasn't been reading the thread
Rich for you to call me that with that inability to read.

>>532750024
I mean, a few orcs are worth a 1000 men.

What is the campaign pacing like in Dynasties?
I'm asking because of the anon the other day sperging out about how aggressive you have to be in Warhammer vs pharoah and Three Kingdoms
I've tried a few campaigns so far on h/h, and the first few turns are always really easy but once I need to expand anywhere it's only a matter of time before I lose my armies.
Am I supposed to just take out my starting enemy and turtle up until I have multiple strong armies?

>>532756403

Hopefully they just make them a 5th faction instead of the 4th and final one.
Chaos is just glorified SM reskins outside the unique marked chapters.

>>532756436
You're probably just struggling a little with the way the eco works.
Food is your main bottleneck to fielding more armies. The food upkeep of basic and advanced units is basically negligible so you should always try to rush to at least tier 3. Bronze is required for t4 and above but is generally required in smaller quantities so it won't usually be nearly the same bottleneck. Always prioritize capturing food settlements even if they don't create a contiguous border (ie, taking the port settlements along the nile instead of the inland ones)

You will be stuck on ~2 armies for a big stretch of the campaign and you should be cautious about how you expand because it's easy to overstretch vast territories and just have too much ground for your armies to cover, especially since non-food settlements are not expanding the size of your armies.

Because food is ONLY used for units, it's safe to have your food income be negative for a while as long as you have a big enough stockpile. If your starting location is sparse on food, you can trade other resources for it, buying large lump sums of food from friendly AI factions with a surplus in exchange for whatever it is you have too much of. Wood and Stone are used for settlement infrastructure (and thus eco) but there are only so many building slots to fill so these resources rapidly become unneeded and can be traded off.

The AI blatantly cheats its resources, and does so more the higher you set the difficulty, which counterintuitively makes it easier to cheese the game's eco by just trading. Most AI factions will also be stuck on ~2 armies for the most part, so once you get over that hump you'll be unbeatable on the field.

>>532757394
I wish they were
Black Legion, which is the default undivided legion, have less choices than SM, but have better melee in average and some risk reward buffs
They play a little different , but yeah, its much much shorter a gap than empire vs woc

>>532757396
>od upkeep of basic and advanced units is basically negligible
I meant to say "the food upkeep DIFFERENCE between basic and advanced units is basically negligible"
My bad.
Basically you want to field as many bronze/gold upkeep-using units as you can afford, then fill out the rest of your food budget with t3 units. T1/2 units tend to only cost like 5-10% less food upkeep but have much lower stats so you're only ever picking them if it's your only option for an important unit type, like archers or shock infantry.

>>532757396
thanks I have been running into economy issues so that's probably a big part of it, I played Troy a little bit but it felt more forgiving in that game for some reason. I have been negative for some resources depending on the campaign. I'll try to rush tier 3 and focus on food.
Is it worth building up outposts? It seems like kind of a trap with how vulnerable they are, until you have lots of territories. And is gold valuable? If I remember correctly in Troy it was used almost exclusively for praying to the gods, but the prayers work differently in Pharoah

>>532754910
Can you sail a black ark up that river?

>>532758201
Yeah, there's one of those sea lane ports there.

>>532757673
They do have some unique units and will probably have unique abilities and weapons with magic attack, but that's it. It's mostly SM in black with pointy bits.

>>532757146
I should run a gnoblar stack but thats a lot of effort to juggle stacks, though with this BS game you have to just make stack after stack to win this shit instead of having balanced armies

Is there guns in 3K?

>>532758660
Only when I play
>flexes

>>532753402
I think we could get an inquisition faction that could requisition help in form of units from any other imperials, so you can get some Ultramarines units to help you out together with Steel Legion or whatever. I just want CA to make at least 1 (one) (single) 40k race that is as fun as the Chorfs

>>532757330
Why Sigvald

>*types in obvious german accent*
If you own 3K and never did a Shamoke Campaign at the 194 start then you're really missing out in thisgame

>>532758065
Troy was a little different in how its economy was balanced. For one, the city itself was an infinite resource engine that you could trade with, and that kind of skewed things. It also had a limited amount of mineable gold on the map, so after a certain point all the gold would be mined out and become a scarce resource.

In Dynasties, gold is infinitely mineable and Stone is the resource that can be mined out, but depleted stone quarries still provide decent stone income so it never really becomes scarce.

Outposts can be a huge stone sink and the AI will obsessively snipe them, to the point where instead of raising new armies the AI will just recruit generals and send them solo to snipe outposts. I only really bother with them if I have a huge stone surplus to blow or in territory that's very safe and impractical for the AI to reach. The income outpost is good for stacking multipliers in your main food-generating settlements, and shrines are just good to have around. Several gods have food bonuses attached to their shrines, and some others have an extremely broken movement bonus you can use to create 'highways' through your territory. Depending on which faction you play, you can also give your generals a trait that refunds some movement when they pray at a shrine and combined those can allow armies to cross huge mounts of ground quickly.

Gold is used for the advanced tiers of some settlement buildings (but not all), for the court minigame (worthless) and for recruiting/paying upkeep for T5 and T6 units. You can farm gold off of court intrigues or just buy it from the AI since it's not nearly as limited as in Troy. Each Court has a military position with a special recruitment pool of unique T6 units with high gold upkeep and you can 'buy' access to that pool with an intrigue action. Those units are specialized at 'punching down' vs low-tier units since their armour makes them basically immune to Lethality, so they can help your earlygame a lot.

You should probably learn the base game mechanics before trying to explain them. Pistols are for cheaply bullying light-mid armored units with big hit boxes like giants, bats, or trolls. They aren't for ranged duels.

>>532759686
Rework incoming.
They just need to make some constructs accessible earlier and add ushabti with great weapons.

Why.

>>532759686
VC feel so dominant because no matter what you can pretty much always rely on zombie blob + lodestone cart with necro/vampire lord/heroes flying around sniping priority targets, or stacking dread incarnate trait characters for minus enemy leadership in province (plus the very first point in the red skill line gives an additional -4, so imagine 4 lords and 8 heroes all with dread incarnate and the 4 lords having 1 red point for something disgusting like -30 or -40 leadership.

Tomb Kangz just don't have good gimmicks, spamming blades of djaf for 2 WoM to get .035% heals or whatever it's been nerfed to nowadays, sucks cock. They are eventually pretty fun, once you're spamming constructs, but getting there makes you wish you were playing vcunts the whole time.

>>532761093
You did load up on anti-large, right, anon? Honestly though that's pretty bad. How late into the campaign is this? How strong is Franz? (strength rating, settlements).

>>532761163

>>532761516
In my humbly correct opinion reducing enemy leadership in province/region effects shouldn't be available for anyone

>>532762780
It gets pretty disgusting, if they were to do something about it they should just limit it to 1 instance of the ancillary/trait in effect at a time.

aranessa is a whore and aranessa enablers will be hanged

Legend's silence on the siege rework is deafening

>>532762780
I think all those traits should be "all enemy units in region get X trait", that trait being -X leadership. This way it wouldn't stack.

>>532762780
>>532762968
I generally agree and you start to realise many effects should not stack if it's from the same type of source. Like boosts to army stats (e.g. range, armour etc) should not be stackable from the same type of hero. Like 10 engineers giving a bunch of ammo/ranged damage/range etc. But it'd be okay for +range from the lord, +range from ONE engineer, +range from technology.

Is the new siege patch playable? How are the new maps and general gameplay?

>>532773656
general gameplay is exactly the same as before with the exception of sometimes needing to wait a turn to build siege equipment, all the same bugs and issues that made them suck are still there
the only new map I've played is the Skaven one, it does feel a little better but I played it defensively holed up in the back minus a few chokepoints so it was hard to tell

40k should expand lord character customization and RPG elements.
You should see actual visual upgrades like in DoW.

>>532774513

Is this why women eat so much salads?

The stat increase is minor and it reduces the amount of skeletons raised with necromancy by like 33% or something. Unless you have the cloak of undead kings and are raising power liches you are actively griefing yourself with upgraded skeletons.

https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Ulric%27s_Thunder
>Ulric's Thunder is one of the largest cannons ever constructed for the Empire of Man. Given to the Cult of Ulric, its barrel was formed after a wolf-head, the sacred animal of Ulric.
>The immense bronze cannon was used for the defense of Middenheim. Too large to be moved outside, it needed several teams of drey horses to be pulled in the correct firing position. It was described large enough that a house could fit inside its barrel. The cannon was so immense that it only could be loaded by a giant.
They should add this thing as a special landmark in Middenheim. It would be cool having the ability to drop a single-use bombardment on the enemy in any battle within a certain radius around Middenheim.

>>532780794
During the Storm of Chaos Campaign, they had rules for that thing. My buddy rolled really good and took out my 240 pt units of Bestigors with it.

The entire Ikit Claw trailer was a Predator reference I think the people who made the Ikit dlc werejust old

>>532782824
Oh what the fuck I never even watched it. Very based.

>>532782938
Old DLC trailers used to be quite good but something happened after The Warden and the Paunch and they've never been the same.

I used to watch a lot of the cool ones often back in 2020 when I for some reason couldn't play or needed to get in the mood for a campaign. Some had some cool music that despite only listening to them once or twice managed to stuck with me while I can't remember a single in game track.

What can we expect from the Aislin DLC, units-wise? Dare I hope for some not shitty artillery?

>>532784937
I remember three or four tracks in total. I like the Kislev pre-battle theme a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siu78hpesXw

>>532777778
Design flaw. They appear to be fixing that issue in the next installment of the series.

Can we expect Vampire Coast not being miserably annoying to play with the new naval focused DLC?

>>532785206
May money is for Sea Helms being the HE equivalent of an engineer, giving somebuffs/special ammunition to Bolt throwers.

>>532785387
That's pretty good, maybe I'll play Kislev one day.

Are Eagleclaw/Reaper bolts actually bad or do they simply not scale well while being the only arty for their respective factions.

>>532779156
Kislev>Welves>Delves>Cathay>Helves
>>532779604
Durthu would not appreciate that

How would you react if the Bulgarians somehow put naval combat in the game? in ToT

>>532786175
They're overall decent and can choose different ammo which is already rare and particularly useful. Compared to many other artillery they are inferior, and also Elven factions have fantastic ranged options otherwise (e.g. Sharts, archers, waywatchers etc) so it isn't as if they're starved. Also good magic for ranged damage too. I like to use one per army and that's enough for a siege weapon, or to poke a turtling enemy to get them to move. Definitely try them for a while.

>>532786295
I would be all like ToT

>>532786295
It wouldn't happen but if it did they deserved it I'd be hyped

>>532786295
Laugh, as even naval combat could not add Yin-Yin to the game.

>>532786175
They are meh entries in rosters filled with amazing units.
You got infinitely superior ranged options for damage and your flying spellcasters can take out enemy artillery more efficiently.

Their only real purpose is forcing defending armies to advance into your killbox, something you can also archive with aforementioned spellcasters.

They need something that will give them either more synergy with the rest of the army or some effect to give them a dedicated role.

>>532785083
>Muh ET

Akishina Ambushers are such a fucking stupid unit

>>532788806
What the fuck? How?

I really enjoy Eltharion's unique units.

>>532786175
Reapers are alright, eagle claws have longer rage but fuckall damage making them pretty much useless.

>>532789434
more units = better
Eltharion > the rest of the High Elves
Ostankya > the rest of Kislev
Arkhan > the rest of the Tomb Kings
etc etc

>>532785206
Lothern Sea-Helm and Mist-Mage (not sure which one will be the Hero and the Lord).
Swiftfethear Rocs.
Lother Sky-cutter.

Came back after a large hiatus playing Rome 2 for now but I'll try WH3 next month when I can afford Thrones of decay, which is the most fun campaign in that DLC?

actually not throne of decay, that new pack, omens of destruction
is the khorne one the most fun
haven't played a lot of chaos

>>532792730

The three-way DLC's are ALL SHIT but Thrones is the best one by far, the Khorne one was met with a resounding meh and has a mixed rating on steam.

>>532794892
Legend is so fucking annoying to me If CA does something wrong then sure fuck em over SoC was a disaster everyone agrees but it seems like he just wants to be a contrarian for his lame audience and whines about fucking everything non stop

>>532795584
When you play an awful lot you get creative.

>>532795575
there is no good reason to constantly delete and reupload mods so that modder is equally as bad

>>532795739
I've left something I uploaded ~10 years ago and abandoned like an inner city father and unless steam workshop tells me I am running out of space for any future mods I'll leave it up there till the day I die.

Damn, Sagat looks cool

Is there a mod or anything to help with unit's idiotic path finding? I wanted to get back into the game, started a campaign with kroq'gor, was having a good time with the first battle despite it being a siege till I wanted to move my infantry through the open gate and they all fucking went for ladders I had kroq-gar set down way earlier, I immediately alt-f4'd. I'm so tired of having to fight the path finding in this fucking game man.

>>532795575
>Legend: "If theres certain gameplay that you dont like, you can always just not do it. Dont force the player to only play one certain way."
Uh, BASED?!?

>>532795660
Even worse, he's a fenceshitter. He constantly complains and whines at the same level as people like Volound or other people about everything CA does but whenever people get too critical and say the current crops of games are unsalvageable he goes full CA defense force like in the Pixelated Apollo slapfight.

No? But it's not remotely as good as Jeff's work on the series and not even as good as some of the better nuTW soundtracks like Attila or Pharaoh. 3K's soundtrack probably is better than Rome 2 but that's not much of an accomplishment.

Why did CA nerf Vlad so much but leave Ungrim alone, when Ungrim is much, much, much stronger?

>>532799396
Manual'd the first, AR the second (they attacked twice). Schizoarmy prevails, think it's time to play another campaign soon. Something more relaxing. Something with high volume of archer fire–no direct LOS shit for a change. Alarielle or a Druchii with Sharts.

>>532799804
because empire players complain about literally any type of challenge

>>532799804
I don't think game developers actually have any idea about what theyre doing
They just throw random numbers until something kinda works

where i really went wrong was i forgot poison wind mortars, you need two of those

>>532801180
poison wind mortars are much better, one or two units of them can solo entire sieges with their range and the way the ai tends to clump up as they constantly regroup units

I know this is hard to answer, but will I enjoy Warhammer 3? It's currently on a deep sale. I have only played about 10 hours of Rome 2 which I do not remember, and recently Britannia which I hated as even on easy/max advisor settings the game just abandons you with no guidance. I didn't really enjoy the battles in it either. Is it worth buying WH3 to see if I change my mind, it's the setting I find the most interesting. Is it generally "easier" to approach?

>>532801584
Yes

>>532801584
It is much easier to approach yeah also you played like one of the shittiest Total War games Total War Warhammer 3 especially has a dedicated tutorial too + the advisor its way more straight forward than Rome 2 who gives you 5 settlements and go "have fun lol"

>>532801584
Rome 2 had a dedicated tutorial anon. WH3 has one as well, I'd recommend you play it.

>>532801437
ok but globadiers are better when pushed and are just better than warpfire throwers because the dot barely does anything now but the glass impact fucking deletes things

>>532802348
idk never recruited those units due to their low range
i just like the poison wind mortars a lot, those just delete infantry and surprisingly do fairly well against cavalry that are tied up with your clan rat summons

>>532801584
Warhammer 3 is one of the most casual-friendly games in the series, it looks a lot more intimidating than it really is because there's a lot going on, but most of it doesn't matter unless you're min/maxing. The battles are very dependent on race, so play a race you think is cool if you want fun battles.
Don't play Realms of Chaos for your first campaign, play Lost God (tutorial) > Immortal Empires. Realms of Chaos is deadware.

Why are Aekold's hand so big? Also is it me or do chaos warriors/knights of Tzeentch look a bit too basic and savage unlike their lords whose armor looks Tzeentchian enough.

>>532802929
Thanks. Which is the campaign people usually recommend, Immortal Empires? I'd like to actually "win" games. If the map is gigantic with 50 factions I feel as though I'd get bored before completion.

>>532798576
Nevermind, found it,
>>532801082

>>532803043
Immortal Empires is huge, either around 250 or 350 factions I forget. It's not designed to conquer the entire map, it takes a LONG time to do that. Most people just play until they get bored and want to start over again with a different character. There are victory objectives in the game but they are mostly pretty generic and don't feel worth it in my opinion.
Pretty much everyone will recommend Immortal Empires, it's the grand campaign and the more traditional sandbox total war experience, and Realms of Chaos has a lot of weird and restrictive mechanics. If you want a small campaign with a clear objective Realms of Chaos might be worth trying though, since it's a smaller map and there is a story/goal to the campaign.

>>532803043
for beginners? the best choice is probably something simple like tyrion/eataine, zhao ming/western provinces or thorek/ironbrow expedition
very straightforward and relatively simple campaigns and playstyles
of course, don't be afraid to experiment and try out other factoins and learn as you go

>>532802597
Once you get better at micro try them out
They're one of those units that always gets insane gold value, like blunderbusses

>>532803043
The Realms of Chaos campaign is narrative focused and I believe that most people should play at least once. On the other hand it's a bit daunting because it puts time pressure on you so if it feels like too much you can try Immortal Empires with this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3140200173 which gives many factions a shorter and more concise campaign objective that you can generally accomplish while playing the game more or less like you should without any time pressure to let you take your time learning the ropes of your faction. Achievements remain active if you care about that stuff.
Disclaimer: If you want to play with the old factions you need to buy the old games, installation is unnecessary.

Just pick a faction you like and aim for a short campaign victory

sir, zathan the realest nigga has the pass AND can terrorize the chinks what else do you want?

>>532803043
Just remember the game have 3 sliders for difficult.
Campaign difficulty is how many and good armies enemy will throw at you are, this is you main difficulty modifier.
Then you have battle difficulty, this is how retarded the AI in battle is, no reason to not set it to very high since lower setting give you autoresolve bonus that don't actually translate to performance in battle and will result in frustration from losing battles autoresolve claim are easy.
Finally you have in battle stats bonuses, they are mostly irrelevant with exception of range heavy AI armies because the difference in reload speed and accuracy does actually make the difference.

>Gorbearing hips

>>532806632
That's why you play them on the old world mod instead :^)

>>532806550
The difference in AI behavior is insignificant and the AI will be retarded either way, the only real difference is in autoresolve outcome, on easy battle difficulty autoresolve will win battles you will never be able to win by yourself.

>>532806134

>>532805969
none of them really specialize in that, but Malekith has the most general buffs so probably him

>>532806550
I agree with the guy, set it to the highest as the AI isn't that smart anyways, the most significant change is that if it's just standing there waiting for something then it won't stay put if it sees an artillery rocket barrage or a giant magic flaming tornado going it's way. I do recommend you leave the campaign difficulty in normal and the AI stat modifier unchanged for your first go at it, you can always change those mid game if you're bored and think it's too easy anyways.

for example my last cathay run i made htis "Greater cathay" then i thought ok thats it

>>532808456
>that dark lands
Odd

>>532808456
this one i made a big order alliance and it felt rly nice

Why are the Tomb Kings such hot dogshit? Eternal research times, you have T1 units by the time other factions get T3 and most of their units just straight up suck dick.

>>532799598
play as woodelves and hover over the magical forest, sometimes the attila germanic area will paly

>>532808456
I pretty much play until short victory, if the long victory is not a pita to achieve due to awkard borders / alliances I will go for long

>>532808730
kangz are too cool so ca had to nerf them into the ground to compensate for that

>>532808730
They're still playable, but could use a touch up.
Hopefully the Kang/Ligger touch up is more substantial than this siege "rework."

>>532808456
that reminds me of a cathay campaign I did where I had about that same block of territory minus some in the south where gelt was, I wanted to take over the darklands too but then I realized that the various greenskins factions controlled literally the rest of the old world and immediately dropped because I had already had been fighting them for ~20 turns in the chaos wastes

Also what's up with the vampire coast, did CA straight up forget them after releasing them?

>>532809129
Pretty much. I still enjoy them a lot but they could use some love. Let them (even if it's just their LLs and unique lords from the tech' tree) to attack ports like black arks.

Malekith will receive a rework before the end of Warhammer 3.

>>532809816
Malekith doesnt even have AP

Morathi is getting a mini rework with the Slaanesh shit, also Sigvald but no one cares about him thoughbeitever desu

>High Elves
>Dark Elves
>Ogre Kingdoms
>Chaos factions
>Cathay
>Tomb Kings
>Vampire Coast
>Wood Elves
>Beastmen
>Dwarves

How on earth will CA rework all of these to be equally fresh and "mechanical" as the rest?

I remember when the word 'rework' meant something.

How's the Daemon Prince factions nowadays? I remember it being interesting and cool but somewhat annoying when I first played it some years ago, did anything change for the better?

>>532809816
No he won't

>>532809816
Is anything wrong with him?

>>532810114
Only WH1 races got a proper rework so far, cept Greenskins they basically got sidegrades and one of their econ buildings got fucked to promote aggressive raiding

>>532810094
>Tomb Kings
>Vampire Coast
>Lizardmen
Only these need reworks, the rest can receive some minor updates

>>532810750
Greenskins already had their rework with The Warden and the Paunch.

so just how grim is the warden, really?

Empire also got their rework in 2 but got another one that made it even better with Thrones of Decay, they were already fine in with their first one but I was expecting more than what we got with Gorbad dropping.

I hope Franz mechanic gets a touch-up one day. Doesn't have to be stronger/faster/easier, just a better UI, it's terrible.

Franz has the best unintentional vassal mechanic, rescuing the EC or bringing them back to be meat shields especially with AI potential making them competent lets you deal with the nonstop threats a lot easier. The bonus is they arent actual vassals so if they get wars declared on them you dont get dragged into until you get an alliance

supposedly gw is preventing them from ever working on them again for some retarded reason.

It wasn't that good, while the bonuses were alright it made you play in a way not at all fitting for The Empire and the mechanics themselves (specially the whole imperial authority) were contradictory in stated purpose and actual, optimal functionality.
On the other hand the greenskin rework not only made them the top dogs of Mortal Empires forcing Unnatural Selection 2 upon anyone who wanted to fight something other than Grimgor but it also gave them some of the most thematically fitting mechanics of any race. Even if you could rework them to make them stronger for whatever reason (something I doubt they need but I haven't played them in a while) I can't see any way in which their mechanics could get any orcier just like how right now the empire is at it's empirest.

Gonna start a Katarin Hard/Hard campaign. Any tips?

Well this is suboptimal.

First time playing Eltharion. Rather tough quest battle. Fun, but it's up there for difficulty (at least doing it this early)

Early game is particularly challenging as her (much like Kostaltyn), be careful where and when you expand North (assuming IE). Don't be scared to defend and sack instead of occupying all of the time. But of course don't leave armies out and vulnerable to ambush from Throt. And bring some Kislevite Warriors, absolutely batshit strong for their tier/cost etc.

Put your Kossars on the frontline and your Kossars on the backline.

Apparently I had reinforcements. Did not see them at all.

What full faction should I buy?

>>532812849
expect to be on the defensive for a while because you are surrounded by dangerous enemies, so build up your forces and ambush and stay close to your territory, get as much devotion and support as you can to start stacking buffs, and for technology focus on military over economy

Silent and Fury provides Beastmen (Taurox)
Twisted and Twilight provides Wood Elves (Sisters of Twilight)
Omens of Destruction provides Ogre Kingdoms (Golgfag Maneater)
Tides of Torment provides Norsca (Sayl the Faithless)
