yay tits

'member when battlefield terrain was created based on the campaign map and you could end up with impassable cliff faces that'd cut the battlefield in two

also remember that the ai would spaz out and exhaust its entire army because it cant figure out how to deal with being flanked

the empire army was so exhausted and blobbed up that they routed with just ~35% of their army dead

i miss morale cascades really mattering at all

>>533748910

Please assign each waifu a dick they are made for.

The fkn AI is giving me herpes. It's turn 132 and I have not once managed to get a province to grow tzeentch corruption via cults.

>>533754784
who gives af about tzeentch corruption
just use the grimoires from the branching plans cult building to carry out your schemes

you arent still stuck on the southern continent are you?

>>533755042
I give a fuck! I wanted to corrupts far off lands and slowly turn em tzeentch cause that's SOVL
I haven't been south yet. Currently cleaning up villitch with Snikch, and the remains of queek.

>>533755227
then demolish the branching plans building and build one that spreads corruption

>>533753787
these are so shit is that supposed to be Repanse? She's asian now? coomers are deranged

>>533755356
Nay, need dem gimoires to constantly force the AI into wars.

>>533755428
but m'lord you have 17,000 grimoires
surely you have cults spreading via branching plan builings throuhgout the south of lustria and the worlds edge mountains?

>>533755543
NEED MORE GRIMOIRES
But no, got nothing in lustria or the south, my cults are in bret land. I think a few are north too..

>>533755783
well next time you start a Kairos campaign, before you migrate set cults at the southernmost tips of each continent and you will have more grimoires than you will know what to do with, as well as one in whatever general area you'd like to turn blue

In protest of CA's reluctance to release DLC in a timely manner, I will go back to playing Attila, specifically the Age of Charlegmane expansion with the Theme of Sicily mod, and I will be involving this thread in it with campaign posting. Prepare yourselves!

Imagine the muscle growth.

Apparently this would have killed 3 of my chosen and crippled my army down to nothing. I dunno if it's the shitty spiders but they melt in a single unit of chosen. It's so dumb..

Again.. is it the shitty black orcs that have this immense AR power? Or is it the spider again.

>>533771717

We'll get a flc lord for slaanesh and tzeentch next dlc right?

made a really ballsy move on this settlement hope the orc to the west doesn't fuck with me

its easy to confederate any other greenskins as any greenskin as long as you do a good job killing dwarfs right?

>>533773385
oh wait it also works like this

w-what

>>533773820
unit is like a mass of infantry
combatant is a single soldier in a unit, but more commonly means like a lord or hero or monster

>>533773820
Unit = unit
Single combatant = single entity unit

How do I Skarsnik? I'm unsure if Lightning Strike will be enough to bruteforce the Mutinous Gits outta my karak.

so as greenskins you're supposed to seek out greenskin LLs and bline for them to confed their lands instead of bothering the normal way?

>>533773385
got too cocky

this is the saddest unit ive ever seen
whats a good early arty for these guys, the catapult looking goblin throwers?

what's the point exactly for recruiting sisters of slaughter over witch elves? they are basically the same unit but one with a shitty shield, an ok passive (the witchbrew is better imo) but 2 turns of recruit and way more expensive to recruit and mantain. Sisters of slaughter should have had armor piercing to make it worth it, they don't even have the bonus against infantry.

>>533777397
>what's the point exactly for recruiting sisters of slaughter over witch elves
SoS are more defensive. They're for pinning a unit in place so others can fuck 'em up.

>>533777397
witch elves are suicide bombers, sisters of slaughter are chaff grinders

>>533770296
But they still sell the rights out for crap like that Amazon show. Shame

>>533776628
Rock lobbers are ok, doom divers are obv much better. Bolt throwers are fucking trash not worth keeping, disband turn 1.

do you guys usually put one of these global recruitment extended capacity buildings in each big settlement just for the lategame boost?

>>533779024
I usually stop building stuff as orcs. If I get enough armies that I'm tired of playing the game, I finish the campaign and move on.

>>533779114
for me idgaf how easy the game gets, I stop when I get satisfying borders/state of the world anyways

>>533779024
Yes, but for lord/hero rank. Global recruit is just a minor bonus.

fug

>>533772526
its because that unit is damaged

>>533778638
I'm doing that right now and it mostly works
perfect planz
Also getting double XP on heroes is no joke especially for spellcasters
-2 control isn't so bad so I'll probably take my sweet while to get 8beaks back

karaz-a-karak looks like this? it looks like a SHITHOLE

thought it was a chorf settlement at first

>>533780273
Doesn't the siege rework include new maps? Hope cities get a do-over because most of them don't even feel like actual cities.

>>533779114
STOP playing the game after turn 5! The game is already OVER! If you've ever recruited a T2 unit or above or built a building then you're NOT PLAYING THE GAME!

love these gitz

>>533776628

>>533782641

Is this a bug? I know this is common in other titles but this is first time I'm seeing it in TW3

no way is this guy having a tough time against a fucking goblin

>>533785481
That goblin is morks chosen.
He’s also a bvl defensive LL against your large hybrid general/fighter LL. He hard counters you.

>>533784787
>>533784948
Nice...

>>533785646
I see, damn expanding vs other orcs is so chill once you beat their LL, running out of orcs to fight tho

>>533785481
he's got planz + his prodda

Sieges in TWW3 are more a disadvantage for the defender than for the attacker, it's crazy, when you have a massive fortress with few units, the capture points become a major downside and liability and there are very few upsides to any of it, like not many chokepoints, turrets are garbage, etc. In warfare it was historically considered that to capture a fortress you would need a ratio of 1:3 at the very minimum, any garrison here gets captured by an equally strong army especially if the enemy has a lord and a mage and you don't.

>>533785481
Is that Gorbad? I played him once. He is by far the weakest melee lord I've ever commanded. He literally loses to everything. He's just a support lord. Even Kairos manhandles him in melee.

>>533786064
If sieges were more difficult and well-thought, encirclement and attrition would make more sense (nobody uses this now) forcing the enemy out on the field, and the game would become less a game of whack-a-mole and more strategically oriented with specialized armies for sieges, etc.

>>533785926
Thats my problem with GS. Its so easy to overextend.
I actually think its fine to, but you have to just keep being aggressive and not value your land at all, which is an abnormal feeling to me.

>>533786506
Every mpfag says the same thing.
His numbers on his stat card indicate he should be at least a competent melee combatant, but in practice he constantly underperforms.
Its weird because usually you’d just attribute that to bad animations, but he is just a warboss on a pig with normal animations. Like its not an ideal setup, but it should be ‘fine’, and its not.

>>533785926
jesus, people really play those kinds of mod that add tons of bloated legendary lords?

>>533787646
yes, its even more variety which is cool imo

>>533787093
Pretty sure it's his trash mount. The boar makes him unable to do shit. By stats, she should be able to fend off a chaos lord of tzeentch even if not win but we all know that tzeentch lord on his disk is gonna annihilate melt him and all your other monsters in seconds. Even those shitty gobbos on their huge anti large spiders, he melts even karl franz
Also doesn't help that he doesn't have a bonus against anything.
Grimgor is better but also kinda sucks which is due to him just not getting any bonuses against sizes.
I think the only thing Gorbad can kill is like.. mages on foot. Maybe weak Empire lords.

>>533785009
>news this week
Sure didn't sound like it in CA's last stream, though I only watched like 15 minutes.

>>533788092
>no parry chance
Huh.
Thought gorbad had a shield

>>533788321
Looks like he does.. but I guess the ingame version only carries an axe.

>>533788092
>>533788321
>new dlc lord
>weak
wtf, why
was he nerfed from release or something

>>533788307
I was being disingenuous.
CA is covered this month.
Ride out the siege beta this week.
Video next week.
Week off.
6.3 last week of the month to coast through September on until the y figure out the dlc release.

Which Total War has the best Viking feeling?

>>533788498
I can't recall them ever touching gorbad. He just was always horrible shitty. Like.. his campaign effects are cool but he himself is by far the worst melee lord there is. Even a lvl 1 Snikch trashes him and Snikch is known to get his ass handed to him in campaign.

>>533788640
pharaoh

If I start a campaign on the beta now, but don’t complete it by friday, will the save break switching back to live?
I assume no because nothing deep set like the campaign map changes.

>>533788321
>>533788493
James Workshop autism, his model doesn't have a shield so his videogame one can't have one.

>>533786506
>Is that Gorbad? I played him once. He is by far the weakest melee lord I've ever commanded.
I mean, that makes sense lorewise. He's not particular strong, his thing is having strategy (for an orc). If you're looking for strong Melee, take Grimgor

>>533788796
yes

>>533788845
Weird discrepancy. I think thr sword and shield makes him stand out more if anything.
>>533788878
He’s still an orc LL, you would expect him to be at least a decent fighter at minimum.

>>533788498
Gorbad isn't supposed to be great in combat by himself, that's what the whole "Da Plan" mechanic is for

>>533788878
Sure, he's not Grimgor but orcs battle for power. He must have slain big bosses before.. I'm 110% certain any black orc big boss trashes him in battle.

>>533788986
Yes im good or yes itll break?

>>533788878
He's a buff lord, not a duelist. That being said, he's still going to beat most non-legendary melee lords in a fight.

>>533785481
I can't seem to find the video, but there is an MPfag clip of N'kari trying to kill the last model in some unbreakable goblin unit and losing to it from half HP.

feels like cheating

>>533789946
the pixel IS white after all

Do you guys spam growth and/or income and play the early/midgame with basic shitter units or try to build a variety of recruitment buildings have fun diverse armies early?
I’m asking legit.
I want to have fun armies when the campaign is most interesting, but my ocd brain reels at the notion of non-optimal growth/income.

>>533789537
Holy fuck, that was hilarious

>>533790228
I usually build up two provinces as military factories, and the rest income

Is sigmar's heirs a must have?

>>533791041
No

melee units are so damn clumsy at finishing people off that its always a better idea to isolate the unit and then just rain arrows in this game

>>533791328
>melee units are so damn clumsy at finishing people off
I was going to say "dude your war dogs" but i don't think greenskins have anything like that

>>533791660
squigs!

>>533789537
I take it back.. Gorbad is only the 2nd worst melee lord, Nakari is worse. I remember my one campaign with him..his animations are horrid.

>>533792089
ironwood did nothing wrong

>>533791660
Wolf riders are literal dogs+

uhh do lords on foot/mount count as infantry or large?

>>533792089
Good when he’s good. Atrocious when he’s not.

>>533792538
Human sized on foot = small
Any mount + grimgor or larger on foot = large

>>533780439
>mightiest and largest
yeahh it needs an upgrade
looks like a decrepit shithole

>>533792437
>>533791853
Are squigs/wolf riders fast enough for the job?

>>533793071
Squigs maybe
Wolf riders definitely

>>533792285
He did everything wrong, that battle formation was a tragedy

>>533792825
I thought 8 Peaks was the mightiest?

>>533792538
You can see the unit size on the stat card, to the left of the entity count.

You now remember when WoC were a horde, and they took attrition from 2 stacks being near eachother because CA thought they were too strong

>>533792538

>>533793262
not his fault most of his soldiers were infiltrated by agents. Cinder this onlyfans WHORE

>>533793682
I 'member dwarfs having garbage growth, Grudges that were constantly griefing your game, and no fun units till tier4 buildings (which you don't get because bad growth)
these were the days my friends

>>533793682
That was a leftover of Attila's horde design. Hordes drain the local food supply and having two hordes in the same province caused them to 'compete' over food, hurting all their income and giving them penalties. If a horde's food production went negative it would suffer attrition from famine.

That kind of design made some sense in Attila where food pressure was part of the core design. You could have multiple hordes in a good-rich province without them dying off, it was just less efficient, so there were both incentives to concentrate and spread out in search of resources according to your needs from moment to moment. But in Warhammer none of that shit makes sense, it was just TCALUK borrowing concepts from Sofia without understanding the underlying game design concepts because nobody in the UK is good at their job.

Should I be building the static income per turn or the faction wide bonuses income building as green skins?

>>533793832
>>533793423
thanks lads
damn orc archers aren't fuckin' bad, they have huge range too
would think they wouldn't like using bows

>>533794094
How are you playing? How long do you intend the campaign to go?

>>533794094
Which LL? The static ones are usually fine

This game is nothing but fighting the same forty chaos factions but different colors and fighting the crackhead dragon who for some reason is always massive with maybe Skaven thrown in it's so fucking boring wtf happened

>>533794094
Static until you can guarantee a battle every turn.

>try a Dynasties campaign with Lethality set tom 100% just out of curiosity

Not sure what I was expecting

>>533794348
it's perfectly viable to play orcs without bows, goblin armies are different
your boar biguns get good anti large with scrap upgrades, and biguns and black orcs with axes aren't bad either
your characters are good at dueling large as well, especially the black orc big boss

>>533796716
Sending a disaster battle to legend is unironically a humiliation ritual.
People set it up to get roasted (attention) on purpose.

>>533796716
melee is for multiplayer ONLY

>>533796864
yeah but I just enjoy using ranged desu
rome 2 cretan or syrian archers carry my shit
pharaoh I used nubian archers with insane artillery tier range, its satisfying to btfo the enemies with guns or arrows

that's why playing khorne would feel weird.... full melee armies? baka

>>533797029
My "perimeter security" trash armies are always
1 General
5 Spearmen (no shields)
5 Swordsmen
5 Archers
3 Pistoliers
1 Mortar
It's sovlful

>>533796864
have you gotten the doom diver catapult yet? it's artillery so a little different but it's pretty satisfying to use

>Khorne
Khorne is too autistic, he let other men (dogs) do the job for him.

>>533797418
no i think thats for a tier 4 building, soon I guess, you build up so fast in warhammer... like you skip tier 1 units within 5 turns, which is kinda weird imo, I used orc boyz for like 3 real battles before swapping to biguns, can't really appreciate the unit much

yeah its cheaper upkeep but i think that'd be no problem even on bigger difficulties

QOTT: Why do only faggots type in all caps?

THEY ARE LIVE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHFOrvGQG0U

>>533797874
Faggots type in all lower case
Retards type in all caps

>>533773335
Only confirmed flc is (was) a LL for Slaanesh.

>>533797807
upkeep does matter sometimes on higher difficulties, but the ai is going to spam elite troops too so you still have to do a lot of that
at least you still get boyz in your waagh armies
I will usually keep an army or two of low-tier troops to safeguard territory but you don't usually fight as much battles with those types of armies

>>533797938
no one cares about your polycule

>>533797807
for comparison on para bellum rome 2 you use hastati for so long that you start to really appreciate the unit, and what they later become with legion reforms
in warhammer the tier 1 units whats even the point if you ditch em within turn 10

>>533798449
>polycule

I just learned a new word, thank you!

>>533796412
This is immortal empires

Invading grand cathay as Grimgor is the coolest campaign I hadn't realised existed.

I like the ordered ranks of chinkmen and their fancy artillery and ranged units getting swamped by unending tide of green savagery

We really need a random campaign map mod with random diplomacy at start

>>533798590
that's fair, I've been getting into Pharaoh recently and you really do learn to appreciate all the peasants and militias more than you would in Warhammer
It does vary depend on the race, for example Vampire Counts can recruit elite units in the first 5 turns depending on luck, but Kislev uses basic troops for so long that by the time you can mass produce elite units the game is basically over

>>533797938
>Literally about to start a wurrzag campaign
How did they know?

Why is Tzeentch the only one with aspiring champions and why is it limited to a single regiment of renown.

>>533799143
You’re not wrong about vamps, but i feel the exact opposite.
Why pay for grave guard when zombies & skeles are so cheap, I can normal recruit them anywhere, and raise dead them in bulk anywhere. I just drown enemies in 4 stacks of shit chaff that cost less than their 1 stack. Its enough to get you over the finish line of shirt campaigns and more than long enough to power build eco/growth so you can transition to the late game easy.

>>533799678
You can say wrathmongers are khorne asp champions and not be wrong

>>533800112
rot knights too

Did a bunch of modders have some sort of tranny crash out or something? I swear I had a few more mods in the list than it's showing, particularly one that let you fiddle fuck with the autorsolve of certain factions to make them weaker or stronger.

I liked making my same race factions weaker so I could confederate them easier or the recruiting defeated lords mod let me have them.

Man everytime I watch this video, I want to replay the vortex campagin but when I do I get filtered by the lack of game 3 QOL mechanics. CA should port the older campagins to game 3, can't be that.

>>533799948
yeah you can play them both ways, I like to recruit elite units with them and just use them to carry me, there will still be enough casualties nearby to recruit more and if there's not it's easy enough to fix that

Went back to WH2 and playing Alarielle on Mortal Empires because I want to see the Chaos Invasion, should I take over the minor factions on the donut so I can fund enough armies to take on the Druchii on their own territory or ally with them in hopes of confederation later?

So I am trying to create a mod for Pharaoh that halves all lethality values. I opened this table with pack file manager and manually adjusted the numbers for all ranged weapons. But when i try to start the game it crashes after staying in the loading screen for like 5 seconds. What am i doing wrong?

>>533802312
idk i only play wh3

>>533802312
a full military alliance nerfs your confed chances in WH2, you want any agreement but that. trade, defensive, etc are all good

>>533802312
to piggy back off what >>533803354 said
confederating is highly encouraged over conquering because it was so easy in wh2 once you start steamrolling, you can do either way though

1-7 azhag with books of nagash mod and expanded roster
8-0 astragoth with drill of hashut and expanded roster

>>533802312

you can just forget about using infantry based armies

>>533808643
I was dealing with them well enough, the problem is their numbers, this was the 5th or 6th battle against the empire this turn, every time I thought I was safe another imperial armored regiment manifested from the nearby forest.

>>533809013
Yeah I know, thats what I mean by spam
They just keep spamming them non-stop and sending them all at (You) because the AI never gets attacked in their settlements by other AI

>>533809295
NTA but I'm also suffering this in my Golgfag campaign. Bashed greenies and chaos enough and decided to take up a contract against Elspeth and holy shit, the tank and ship spam is fucking insufferable, even as Ogres. Nevermind the fact that the AI is also asspulling them at an exponential rate with a dozen different armies because they don't have to worry about their economy. At least the pay will be good

>>533800342
oh shit, its got custom kill animation vs single entity infantry units?

It's too random to test reliably.

>>533812918

>>533809715
On Legendary, AI gets the following buffs (among many more):
6000 base income per turn, +6 global recruitment, +3 local recruitment, -50% upkeep, -60% Recruitment cost
So even an AI pushed to 0 income Gate settlement can push out up to 18 units in 2 turns and has enough money to hold 87 units of Jade Warriors. Fun! :^)

>>533815406
Reminds me of vhfags saying that legendary is the same as their mode.

>>533815843
pic didnt go

>>533815281
Its very different. The distance between settlements is larger and factions usually hold 10+ provinces, so you cannot rely on the bread-and-butter of "rush faction's main army, steamroll his settlements in 4 turns before he can regroup at all". War is significant commitment and enemy WILL have time to regroup at next capital they own which they'll have multiple of. And if you aren´t on top of your diplomacy and pre-emptive border defense game, the faction on the opposite side of the one you're fighting might declare war which will deal serious damage before you bring that 1 doomstack you've been using normally gets over there. I find it a breath of "old total war" since you actually have to pay attention to your borders, allies, enemies and wars, but many used to TW:WH formula may find it tiresome and annoying. The turn times are also rather long if you don´t have a beefy pc.
It also contains many "mini campaigns" a-la Wood Elf campaign from WH1 in the form of contested areas that are easy to defend IF you can wipe out all who vie for it. For example Karak Eight Peaks is multiple provinces surrounded by mountains with only 2 passes in, so if you can conquer it all you have perfect power base, but its also contested by Queek, Belegar and Skarsnik.

You have to name your file modifying the projectiles_tables something else, if the game detects a file with the same name as another file (in this case the base one) on launch it will crash.

>>533796086
I miss the Ordertide so much bros its unreal
Felt great as an Order faction having some bros to rely on and it felt awesome as an evil faction since you were never lacking for challenge
Plus the Chaostide just makes the map look incredibly samey and ugly with all the corruption effects

they should make it so that if you build walls or some shit that random beastmen/rogue armies cant spawn in the middle of your territory

>>533817240
Dragon waves ?

>>533818309
well if you build walls they charge into them and die in the autoresolve which is always funny

>>533820683
Those orange dwarfs near bretonnia declared war on the Empire and made it all the way to Altdorf before Kemmler just killed them from behind

AZHAG IZ' HERE
>>533820683
yes, I use it every campaign
it makes things more random, some campaigns end up the same but others have factions in weird places, like Azhag in the Grey Mountains or Mazdamundi in Ultuan are both some ones that I remember
major factions all last longer and some even grow into full empires
major factions will still usually win in the end, but because they have more of a push/pull it still feels random

I'm sad that TWWH3 might get EOS soon. Since they hinted at end times next year.

>>533820683
Yes but nothing unexpected has happened yet. All the Errantry knights died to either dwarves or Akhan immediately, orcs got absorbed into the savage waagh tide, Tilea and Border Princes were eaten by Skragg, Skarbrand is a nuisance. I don't know for a fact what's going on in Bretonnia proper but judging by Louen's power rating, it can't be good.

>>533821640
Why the fuck would it not? Everything dies just get excited for next thing instead of playing the same game forever like a WoW addict

>>533821960
I was hoping we'd get more content for it, like DoW, better merc system, some less mainstream lords like Bohemond etc.

>>533822498
Ok well modders will do that

>>533821640
No king rules forever, my son.

>>533822574
But brand new content does give modders big tools to play with. That's the important bit of official content it can bring new systems/animations/assets that modders can utilize

>>533770296
Well they aren't so annoying to work with anymore ever since Christopher died, but they are $$$expensive$$$. CA would have to pay many millions of dollars to use their IP but once they did, they'd have pretty much carte blanche to do whatever they want with it, given how much the Amazon show eviscerated the source material.
That being said, the Attila mod looks pretty promising so at least there's that in the meantime.

>>533818073
that should not be the case since if its the exact same name it should enitrely replace the vanilla table instead of changing it

226 waagh points on turn 13 for the fucking moot, nice
once I am strong enough to take out the SEM rogue army nearby the fifth book of Nagahs will be mine

I'm actually kind of dreading the 40K reveal. /twg/ is pretty comfy and I expect it to get flooded with 40K autism as soon as trailer drops.

Speaking of 40K, for some reason I don't think CA will make a mid game. It will either suck ass or be amazing.
And when I say suck ass, I don't mean good design but bugged to oblivion, I mean Warhammer 1, which was basic as fuck, realistically only carried by IP and the fact that monsters, SE Lords and magic were new in the series. If CA released a game with Warhammer 1 state of content today, everyone would shit on it.

>>533826159
>waagh points
it's their strength ranking, not a score. You get a betta trophy for waaghing strong factions, not the other way around

>>533826172
it's going to be worse, star wars is the next game. source: ca employees i met at the pub

>>533826607
yeah but the higher their strength ranking the better the reward is

>>533811723
I wish instead of the map in battles there could be a scrolling text log of all these kinds of messages, I rarely look at the map in a fight and I'm always tunnel visioning so hard I miss the popup for when my backline gets Ushabti'd

>>533826172
>>533826594
just two more weeks!

>>533823280
Not how these games read packfiles. Trust me, change the name of the file under projectiles_tables and then try it. It's the reason why these games have much better compatibility than something like a Bethesda game, multiple files can touch the same tables because the game reads the differently named files in order then applies it to the base tables.

>>533827021
do you realize that if you were looking at the minimap you would be able to see when enemy units pop up in your backline?

>Have NAPs with factions
>Good standing
>Faction declares war through NAP anyway at +50 positive relations while being destroyed by the other AI around it
>Shows up with 3 stacks at my border in the same turn they declared

At least in other games they'd break the NAP and then you knew they'd be doing that shit in 1-3 turns. This is just annoying.

>>533828025
Either you had no wars at the moment so the game forced somebody to do that or you are extremely unlucky, I don't know if that's ever happened to me more than once or twice in WH3

>>533828025
were you at war with nobody?
the game will force a war on you if you're at peace for like a turn or 2.

>>533826594
>I mean Warhammer 1, which was basic as fuck, realistically only carried by IP and the fact that monsters, SE Lords and magic were new in the series. If CA released a game with Warhammer 1 state of content today, everyone would shit on it.

WH1 was shit, how CA managed to psyop so many that it was a good game is beyond me.

>>533828441
you just had to be there you clearly werent

>>533828441
Its true. I actually didn't like wh1 much at all at launch. I think I came back for beastmen and welves and remained unimpressed. I really only got into it with wh2.
I've long held the desire to go back to wh1 and clean out all the cheevos, but I think the attempt would kill me.

>>533828236
>>533828285
I had been at war with a faction North of me for like 15 turns, which is why I went around cultivating NAPs and selling military access and so on.

I was able to buy a peace with that faction, and that exact turn is when it happened by a faction bordering my entire South+East (which is one of those I had the whole NAP+Access+giving them gold for relations).

>>533826172

My main worry about Dawn of Warhammer is that it will have the wrong vibe. 40k has too many competing aesthetics when it comes to adaptations, some lean more heavily into gothic darkness, some more into the artwork, some into the tabletop models. It's difficult to believe they'll do what I want instead of other stuff.

>>533828830
Well. There you go, I hope you learned a valuable lesson.
No peace, only war.

I for one would play my beloved Droidmanii faction unironically, also you probably arent going to get many of the kind of star wars fans you probably picture in your mind in /vg/ of all places, chances are you're more likely to get a flood of people that want to post in the thread just to screech about how they hate star wars

>>533831249
>a flood of people that want to post in the thread just to screech about how they hate star wars
I don't want any of those people either. like yeah the sequels sucked but its time to get over it, its been years idc

>>533831885
I love Star Wars, will play TW Star Wars if it comes out and you will see me bitching about the shitquels, deal with it.

to the fag who said i only played coast
i play counts and TCA are going to ruin counts if they touch them
dosent matter how
probably give them an undead thunderbarge

>>533834075
Glad to see it, you're still retarded though
Nagash will probably not be weak

>>533831885
>>533833068
the sequels have so little content to mine for units, heroes, settings, etc that you probably won't even get that many people talking about them when/if TW star wars comes out. no one really wants to play as the "first order" or the "resistance" lol, they're like non-entities compared to the real factions

>its not true despite having super powercreeped units in every wh3 dlc

so what did i say that was retarded you flaming faggot
nagash or not
any change they make will shit up the race

>>533835162
This is why I don't want them to touch old races that I like, such as Dookie. They'll flip them on their head and fill and bloat them with bullshit overpowered choice, mechanics, options and bullshit all-round.

>>533835162
I agree you bitch bastard bloody

so im referring to someone who disagreed with me and you responded despite agreeing
i will beat you up even harder now

>>533826759
Big thinkin 'ere.

>>533835593
This but Norsca and Slaanesh

>>533835856
Based. I agree on both. I actually like Norsca as they are (but could use a bit of love, sure, but nothing major like 100 dumb mechanics).
t. playing Niggari right now.
Going to try an all fast/cavalry army 'soon' but it'll take quite a while to make and I'm in a precious point in the campaign too.

>>533836028
About the fastest I do is using cheap marauders for the anvil instead of warriors, daemonettes are just too annoying with the whole evaporating thing

>>533836325
Yeah I had mostly marauders too, with Fiends (these are fantastic, just 1 unit does wonders) and 2 units of Daemonettes, then eventually got some more. Disbanded the RoR this turn too (was more for an emergency). And yeah daemonettes are fickle, where often they are useless at the start of battle, I need to have N'Kari disrupt the enemy's rear (!) a lot and infantry to lock-in for them to finally be able to snip at enemy's asses. I'll eventually get rid of them (or give to some other lord). Thinking of mostly going knights, heartseekers (don't remember the last time I used heartseekers) and a Soul Grinder as I don't even remember if Slaaneshgrinders are any good.

blood knights are kino
i improved them with hero steal cheese
would you like to see my blood knights?

>>533837445
Ok!

>>533834713
Yeah which is why I want a game where I can play as the CIS but tell Palpatine to eat shit, have an event like Norsca did with the Chaos Invasion where Palpatine does something like demand you be a vassal in exchance for some big bonuses or tell him to fuck off, something like that

>>533835856
>mega-chaosfag
>have zero interest in norsca and slaanesh
I almost feel guilty.
Norsca is at least, “ok they’re a npc faction where their ideal goal is to just be warriors of chaos who also look a lot cooler so I’d rather just do that”.
Slaanesh I feel like is just ‘ugh’, both thematically and in gameplay. At least with sigvald and azazel I can lean on the undivided stuff too.
With helfs as one of my least favorite races, I am super not bothered with the next dlc other than its indirect additions for races I actually do like.

>>533837769
Norsca man throw spear
Slaanesh dog things go fast

>>533826172
I fear for the historycucks. They will probably die from the rage alone.

>>533838142
I know how to play them. Its just w/e to me.
>Slaanesh dog things go fast
just spam chaos warriors except with shitty replenishment rates and mediocre casting. What? Want me to micro squishy and expensive-ass daemonettes and hellstriders that die if their target doesn’t instantly die?

>>533838587
>Want me to micro squishy and expensive-ass daemonettes and hellstriders that die if their target doesn’t instantly die?
Yes.

Help
I'm getting my ass kicked by chaos as karl franz
what units are good against chaos warrior + dogs?
My main army composed of 12 spearman, 6 huntsman and 2 mortars did nothing and got cut to pieces.
Also what lore of magic is good? Beasts seems kinda meh, the crow magic doesn't seem to do much damage.

>>533838928
pick a less shit faction

>>533838928
>12 spearman, 6 huntsman and 2 mortars
All bad against armour
Outriders and handgunners give you some actual punch, make sure to speedrun the infantry tech and red skills for infantry so they actually hold
Fire is nice, you can just slap down burning bolts or overcast burning head and infantry goes away

Oh no, I'm getting ambushed

>>533838928
Any melee unit (like swordsmen) will easily beat dogs. Dogs are only a concern as a player when the AI uses them as they flank and rush your ranged. Easily repelled.
>warriors
Armour piercing, preferably ranged.
Beasts is great, and flock specifically is good. Transformation of Kadon is good as it gives a manticore which you can use to dive-bomb whatever you want.

>>533839315

>>533839307
>>533839365
> speedrun the infantry tech and red skills
I've been going for the blue line because I heard it was generally the best.
>armor piercing
So I should be replacing archers with handgunners asap?
>fire
I'll try hiring one.
>Beasts is great, and flock specifically is good
I've been mostly using the buffs, so I should try using flock more, ok thanks for the advice.

>>533838928
You need armor-piercing of which that build has none. Get handgunners.
Lore of metal is good for shredding armor and having high AP.

>>533839512
Lmao, yep

>>533831249
The only issue with Star Wars would be the time period
>Clone Wars
Ideal, everyone would love that and prequels shitposting would be terrific.
>Old Republic
Same as CW but without as many memes also very unlikely due cost of the licence and the amount of work CA would have to put in to make it work.
>Original Trilogy
Also great but 90% of campaigns posted would be the Empire or the Hutts.
>Nu-Trilogy
Complete shitshow combined with people shitting on it every chance they get and then some more.
>High Republic
See above but even worse.
If we get Clone Wars it will be like another Warhammer release in term of scope, but Nu-wars will doom us.

You could disperse those horrors into 5 zombie shitstacks and get so much more done...

This is so filthy it's like they converted to Nurgle

>>533840295
late clone wars with events for the emergence of the empire and rebellion would be peak
there are some good empire at war mods like this

those Cathay maps with the rice fields are very fun, I like setting up a defensive line of jade warriors on a lower level with the cannons and crossbowmen up on high with clear lines of sight to the enemy

must suck fighting in scale armour in knee deep water, but not like terrain really matters that much in warhammer

>>533840646
They can do fall damage though unless they fixed them, shit like doomwheels will just blow up (sovl)

The thing I'm gonna miss most in WH40k is Chaos Dwarfs. I've got 300+ hours in Chaos Dwarf Campaigns alone. I hope GW puts out Chaos Votann in time for the third installment and that they speak a hilarious made up language too NIIIBUUURTU!

>>533840901

Is Book of Ashur the only blue Arcane Item ?

>>533842136
>mfw
I was wondering the same thing, aside from the occasional racial one or something it feels like it's always Book of Ashur
it's a good item, but boring to use all the time, especially since you end up getting the most extra arcane items unless all your characters are spellcasters

>>533842136
Maybe it's the only universal, pretty sure some races got more.

>>533839594
Blue Line is good if you really know what you are doing because Lightning Strike opens up a lot of options you wouldn't otherwise have. It is also one of the few talents that has times where it is completely useless.
It's better in most cases to get at least one redline 3/3 before rushing it, or magic if you have a caster lord.

This took me a surprisingly long time and I hope I remember most of it. Any tips/tricks that the tutorial campaign doesn't tell you? For my first real game I'm just going to pick the faction that looks the coolest and ignore stats. So far it's the Sun God creatures, vampires, plague or a big demon/monster.

>>533845110
I'll go for the reline next then. I was rushing the quartermaster stuff

>>533845291
If you're learning and/or on lower difficulties definitely go redline first. On Normal/Hard you barely need LS, and even on higher difficulties early game a lot of stuff can be achieved similarly by recruiting a second Lord early and using ambush stance.

I just found out Vilitch is dead, can I get him to respawn with a rebellion? I'm trying to collect em all.

>>533845517
>on lower difficulties
I read this thread before getting the game and everyone was saying the game was super easy compared to previous total war games so I'm playing on VH/VH

>WH3
Is Total Victory Overhaul mod any good? I'm looking for a mod that actually provides an end goal/something to work towards. Playing a sandbox until I get bored and restart just seems boring.

>>533845864
If you're talking about VCO, it's pretty good, although some objectives are easy to achieve. Archaon has a really easy one for instance. You can continue playing after achieving it but each condition usually gives you a very substantial buff that makes getting the rest easier.

>>533840646
Was funny back when the terraced rice paddies would cause fall damage, destroyed any arty the enemy brought.

>>533845821
If you have a lot of experience with previous TW games maybe, but it's a pretty involved, complex game. I would recommend doing a few campaigns on lower difficulties while you figure out the major systems.

>>533845268
Gun units that are taller than your front line, or are targeting an enemy that is taller than your front line, can shoot over their heads. Really useful for Dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs although some other factions can make use of it like Empire outriders or flamers of Tzeentch.
Stacking a monstrous infantry unit together with a regular infantry unit will protect the monsters from taking too many hits and allow both units to attack at once. It also stiffens up your front line since monstrous infantry have much higher mass than regular infantry.
You should try and always have a spellcaster in an army. Spells can give you a massive advantage in most situations.

>>533845268
>>533847264
Oh yeah and if you are trying to disengage a cavalry unit but they go back into the enemy blob then press guard mode, it will stop them from trying to reengage

>>533847264
Thanks. In the tutorial I had a female frost mage and to be honest I had no idea if I was supposed to use her solo to sabotage people and places on the world map, or put her in an army to cast spells. Do I keep her separate on the world map until it's time for combat?

>>533847571
Kislev has really good heroes so I would stick them in armies. I generally only use heroes on the campaign map if they're dogshit on the battle map (empire captains and witch hunters). If you have a glut of hero capacity but not enough money to afford another army then maybe you can deploy a hero on the campaign map to get them some experience while you build up your economy.

>>533846969
I'll just keep going until I lose and then I'll lower difficulty.
Considering I'm looking at 3 full stacks of plague chaos and I'm still trying to built a new army that's probably gonna be soon lol

>>533845864
Yes, it's very good, and adds 3 fun and meanful objectives to (almost) every lord in the game
there is also a lot of good race and faction specific mods which offer objectives too
this is one example of a VCO objective

I couldn't capture the reward in this image but it gives raise dead for the faction leader, causes attrition to enemies within your territory (the kislev one perhaps?) and replenishment in foreign territory

I fucking hate these maps with these circular dot forests painted about

People here shitpost about how easy L/VH is but it really isn't. You have to understand exactly what to do to beat even VH campaign difficulty with most LLs. Sure like most strategy games once you understand the optimal path it's easy, but it's not something you pick up by accident.
Luckily in TWW3 "easy" still means winning a handful of actually tough battles in the first 20ish turns.

AHHHHHHHHHH

>>533851030
Attila/AoC/ToB was basically the pinnacle of TW games actually having gameplay features.

reminder that this thread constantly says legendary/very hard is so easy they need to install cheats to make it harder, but the thought of playing without corner camping or settlement trading makes them immediately collapse into copium.

>>533853087
we've been over this, corner camping is intended behavior. otherwise CA would patch it out

>>533853087
Settlement trading is also an intended mechanic and was a huge selling point of WH3. I don't cheese settlement selling with military buildings either so that cope is out the window.

>>533853087
>noooo you have to play the game like my melee rush faction even if your faction isn't melee rush!!!

Here we go. How many posts will this episode rerun go on for this time?

The Empire was just never the same after the Nuln Engineer Guild took off

Throt is the most fun rat LL atm

be'lakor's faction colors look kinda pimping on the fireglaives ong ong fr

>>533854148
Throt/Ikit/Snitch will always be equally fun depending on what you want to play.
The real rivalry is Queek/Skrolk/Tretch for Vermintide playstyle

>>533854148
>>533854330
Ikit and Skaven in general would be much more fun with a tech equivalent of genetic instability for Skryre units. I don't really care for god tier overpowered Skryre.

>>533854330
Skrolk comes with plague buffs and easier access to summons and plague furnace aoe so he wins the latter handily.

>>533853923
Cheatsfags actually believe what they post, you'd know this is you'd ever seen /gsg/ posters in the wild.

Is Ulrika's horse undead too ? Wwhy is his eyes red ?

>>533784787
>>533784948
A lore accurate Cadian army would be an army composed out of lolis and shotas. This was canon until Cadia blew up.

>>533855120
He also has by far the hardest start location and Tretch and Queek have great faction buffs for the playstyle.
Skrolk is definitely more thematic but I don't think it's that cookie cutter.

Is it just me or does the total war mod loader run atrociously? worse than pulling teeth. Just non responsive and slow as hell

>>533855564
>not using a dedicated mod manager that comes with presets and rpfm integration
ngmi

>>533855564
There's some text file you have to delete every so often to make it responsive. However CA said they are looking to remove it going forward.
Alternatively you can just hit "play" or "continue campaign" right as it loads and it won't lag.

>>533855564
/user/appdata/roaming/TheCreativeAssembly/launcher, delete the txt file and only it in that folder

>>533855223
>Wwhy is his eyes red ?
eye strain from too many orgasms, animal abuse is no joke

>>533856271
ok but this better not be a trick

>>533853321
even if it was (it's not) the fact that you are too scared to play without your crutch "strategies" just proves that you have no real skill. if you were actually good at the game you wouldn't be afraid of playing with handicaps to make it harder. you are scared because you know that your entire "play style" that you copied from a youtuber revolves around cheating and you couldn't even beat normal/normal without it.

>>533856413
It's not, it should be quite a big file. You can open it and check it out if you want, for some reason the launcher logs fucking everything and it starts to lag it over time.

>>533856271

do you call metaslaving in mp games "cheating" too? this isn't a position that makes any sense other than you wanting to feel better than a perceived "other" (aka "cheaters")

>>533855738
where can I get a decent mod manager for total war?

>>533857282
metagaming by focusing on growth and income early on is cheating, you get an unfair longterm advantage over the ai

Is this going to destroy my settlement later on if I keep the cult for the extra income?

It's over.

They won't. There's still space on the map.

That was a biiig dino.
Lizardmen players will be "need it as DLC unit"

>>533857437
Then maybe the devs should code the ai to plan long term to compete with the player?

>>533861820
reminds me of the lost river from Subnautica

>>533861604
Man what happened to From? Such a fall after Dark Souls 1 (and even that was a rush-job after the halfway mark or so).

>>533862274
maybe you should stop cheating instead with your tryharding

>>533857282
abusing mechanics is not "optimized play." units are not designed or balanced with corner camping in mind. this is indisputable fact and no amount of coping will change it.

>if ca didn't intend for players to corner camp why don't they prevent it
they did, in multiplayer, the only mode that they balance units for

>>533854148
I miss regular dlcs.

>>533862598
Elden Ring is by far the best Fromsoft game

>cheatfags are mpeons

Why yes I abuse the ai with tactics like corner camping and blobbing. How could you tell?

>>533863161
no quotation marks therefore this is you and what you say

>>533863161
GYATT no wonder flanking is so encouraged in these games

>>533863278
Did something about my post make it seem like a joke? I am quite serious.

I abuse the AI by deploying in a formation that utilizes the terrain I'm on
playing Attila and getting the AI to die on a chokepoint river battle btw
check out my carpet bros, I'm such a crazy good cheater!

>>533863161
you look like a fag

>>533862856
>abusing mechanics is not "optimized play."
I fundamentally disagree tbqh (and so does anyone who has been high elo in any game ever)

>>533863483
using terrain to your advantage isn't cheating
using game mechanics that wouldn't exist in a real battle is cheating

>>533862856

Popular maybe, but not best. Most boss-rushy of them all and they double-down on the whole 'epic scale grand theatre' theme of bosses that plagued each title, especially the end (DLC) of DS3. Gael and Midir are great examples of this where midwits are amazed by it but can't see that the bosses are basically the player, actually doing something 90% of the time where the player is only engaging 10% (at best) of the time. Very disappointing. Especially considering how From were pre-Demon's Souls, they had great atmosphere and mood, but slowly but surely threw it all away for...boss shit. Very lame and most people (especially those who say shit like Elden is the best title) are completely ignorant of their work.

Soul to soulless. Ironic.

I don't know who you are referring to as "cheatsperg" but I just want people to realize that legend brainrot is not the intended way to play the game and is actively making the game less enjoyable for themselves.

How would that even work? Some saint/angel show up and defeat the mongolians?

This was not a corner camp. There was a crevasse on the middle right side of the map I stuffed all of my units into. Sometimes I think the Bretonnians are the real bad guys, I think they've suicided close to 100,000 models into my Tzeentch boys by now.

I'm also from the future, the UK will put out an anti-cheats law to save our children from degenerate modifications to our games. You will have to verify your name, age, address, and game achievements before installing any mods.

>>533864025
My first was dark souls 1 and that's just cause Elden Ring came out next year, I think the characters, world, and story of most of their games are boring, Sekiro and Elden Ring have actually interesting fleshed out characters

>only chinks (and nips/gooks through cultural osmosis) like that wuxia nonsense in historical settings
Speaking of the Japs, what setting would it take for them to get into Total War if Shogun didn't do it? Total War: Isekai?

>>533868334
Fate: Total War of course.

>>533868334
Shogun didn't do it because CA just didn't translate it, mostly because PC gaming was basically non-existent there at the time. It's much bigger over there now so just doing Shogun 3 and actually translating it would do wonders. Include all the relationship mechanics from 3K so that you can include every single samurai from the period that people love and it would absolutely do it for them

>>533868662
I think you mean Fate/Total War

Man old total war camera controls are so clunky

>>533869229
pay more attention
keep your bowmanii further behind your spearmanii
keep some cavalry in reserve

>>533869875
So I have to keep a line behind the line because the enemy will just slip through? I mean now that i know it happens I can deal but I don't remember this happening in TW2.

>>533864634
It will be very antisemitic.

Gelts current start position feels so weird, either playing as him or playing as a Cathayan faction
You're basically compelled to claim all of Cathay as either side because Its good territory and pretty easy to defend, especially against the AI, but each side is pretty much the only friendly faction anywhere close by so declaring war on them feels wrong

>>533870252
post a screenshot of your deployment

>>533871619
I just drag a line
then another line behind that line
I don't leave gaps, when I say they slip through I mean they just walk through the middle of the unit, not around it. If it was around it (which does happens sometimes) I wouldn't be confused.

>>533871239
>as Gelt
Accept the choice to go back home. Or is this no longer a thing?

>>533872042

>>533872621
About 1 line of distance.

>>533872942
>>533873873
you want the spear formations to be as wide as the game will let you. the archers should be further back and more spaced out so that if an enemy unit breaks through the spears they have time to shoot it instead of multiple units immediately being compromised.

>get this as N'Kari
It's fucking over for them.

>>533875387
I'll try that, thanks.
I was putting them forward because I wanted to shoot the enemy ASAP, but your idea is probably better.

I unironically just got a slight erection while playing Cao Cao..... I really hate how cool they made his faction....

>>533877961
whats he do

>>533878990
Nothing. He's just so fucking sexy.

Kislev is probably the most annoying faction in the entire game to fight I fucking despise fighting them so MUCH

Does Wood Elf ammunition go through trees or does it get blocked by them?

>>533879495
Kyivlev mighty strong resilient warriors unlike stinky weak pathetic Empire"men"!

>>533878990
Literally whatever the fuck you want.

>>533879681

>>533880441

>>533879978
Dont forget Ostanka armies getting buffs and you getting debuffs with almost no way to counter that garbage

>>533880718
i mean they definitely should. the grace period means that outgoing shots don't get blocked by trees but incoming do

Thankfully next DLC will give us a sexy Slaaneshi LL at least. I'm also using the cheat that gives him two breasts instead of the one. Not so much for coomer sake, but more that I dislike his default look, it looks like it has been cut off and has huge staples holding his scar/flesh in place. Small and tasteful change I think anyway.

>>533884460
Needs wider hips and a huge cock

>>533883960
Looks like early on, OP beamed to the forest. And seeing the ruins, it doesn't look good for her anyways

>>533883789
N'kari is a joy to micro. Big rapedemon cycle charging infantry, sniping lords and taking breaks to run down retreating enemies to heal.
One time I was fighting two almost full armies but disabled control large armies thanks to a mangled garrison and I managed to kill the entire second army with just N'kari as they were trickling in while the main army was sitting there waiting for its reinforcements.

I can't wait for the slaanesh DLC, it's one of the most fun and most replayable factions in the game only held back by vassal jank and the lack of replenishment heroes.
Also I hope they get around reworking how cults work because partially seduced factions are meant to like you but since you seduce them by carrying out hero actions against them they end up hating you instead.

how?

>>533886730
that's a first

>>533886730
Climate change is real

>supposedly fixed the AI
>didnt fix how if you ever decide to ally/have good relations with a powerful faction they just start losing and any enemy with -100 aversion towards you starts zero-ing in on your settlements slowly
Hate how this happens 9/10, my chorf campaign was going fine until out of nowhere my high ranked allies, Kholek and Zhatan, suddenly just started losing hard and nonstop, now Gelt and Zhao Ming who were in their low 30s are suddenly rank 2 and 4 respectively

Teleport mechanics are garbage 90% of the time. A crucial part of grand strategy is situational awareness, choosing the best route one can think of to pick favorable battles or avoid them entirely. Part of the joy is i facing obstacles and responding accordingly, gaining information of your surroundings all the while for future decision making.

Teleporting is only valid for a few factions that by nature are essentially stuck in place but require a global presence, like Wood Elves or Oxyotl, NOT as a way to just skip turns and finish the campaign quicker, like Arbaal, Skulltaker or Golgfag..

Here's hoping Wulfrik and Aislinn don't get that shit.

>>533887152
>>supposedly fixed the AI
did they?

>>533887418
Not really, their fix is basically 2 options, 1 which makes it so the enemy AI wont just go through other factions to get to you and instead will just take everything in their path to get to you and the other option makes it so minor settlements have "potential" aka they might die in 2 turns instead of 1 now while being a bigger pain in the ass for you

>>533877961
I actually gave 3K a try after buying it years ago and never really getting into it
I ended up enjoying it, I played as Sun Jian

>>533887152
I'm playing a campaign as Malakai, allied with Kislev, those fucking retards are letting their eastern half get devoured by chorfs and Arbaal while they have armies sitting in their southern border next to the friendly empire doing nothing. Im slowly trying to push it all back but also need to defend against the endless waves of Epidemius and Archaon

I wish you could order them to defend their own settlements and they would. Or even obey the war coordination to attack an enemy army. Half the time you get the notification saying they're moving toward it then they just ignore it or theyll move toward the enemy one turn then turn around the next and let another town get taken.

>>533887625
Are they ever going to fix that bug where allied AI sometimes turns off and keeps its armies around its capital doing nothing?

>>533887786
You're basically me, never gave a shit about the game but I bought it recently and really liked Sun Jian. It's nice that it's a cavalryman's game and cataphracts are OP as shit.

>>533887152
>didnt fix how if you ever decide to ally/have good relations with a powerful faction they just start losing
I always assumed this was just my bias because I start paying attention to friendly factions' performance once I ally with them, are they actually programmed to start losing once you make friends?

>>533888887
I dont think its been outright stated but ive had way too many campaigns (both before and after the anti-player bias AI update) where Ive seen a powerful faction suddenly start losing because you have good relations with them. There is still an ever-present bias from the AI that if you sign an alliance with any faction youll suddenly start getting more wars declared on you, youd think that would lead to less war since AI factors in the strength potential of both you and your ally but its not the case so its just a huge downside to sign anything other than a NAP, military access and trade unless you want to confederate the faction then its fine to ally with them.

This bitch is just chilling here for 10 turns, only her black arcs are doing something (nothing because they only attack armies at sea)

chat is this true

>>533889561
Idk I'm pretty shit so if I can get a H/H Kairos campaign off the ground it can''t be that bad

>>533889561
lmao lol even

Whats the longest, in number of turns, you've spent on a campaign?

>>533889484
>ally with faction you want to confed
Did they change AI adding your strength to their own when allies when deciding how threatened they are?

>>533889561
>Boris
>Brutal
People overestimate the difficulty in that campaign because hes surrounded by a lot of difficult enemies but its really not that hard.
>Archaon
Rush him immediately after taking your first province, his army is weaker than yours and esp his vassal's, the war bear riders will destroy everything worth considering a threat and you can take him offline before he starts gaining momentum
>Arbaal
Another case where your War Bear Riders and Kossars will handle the fight, Arbaal still doesnt have his mount and he can get finished off rather easily
>Tamurkhan or Kholek
Your army also beats these 2, the Rot Knights do not trade favorably against the bears, same with Kholek and his Dragon Ogres, depending on who comes out on top its easier, Tamurkhan will sometimes just ignore you for a few turns
>Daniel
Did you know if you put an Ice Witch lord and some Kossars in your big settlement and a regular lord with 2-3 armored Kossars they can autoresolve favorably against him and hes essentially a gold farm? His unique trait sucks, dont bother with giving it to Boris, just plant an Ice Witch on your capital, I kept him at bay with Kossar AR spam until I tooo Tamurkhan out and brought Boris around to help. After those 4 the campaign becomes smooth trip back to (a destroyed) Kislev and Throts kind of a pushover

Why does CA not simply use AI to fix their AI?

>>533889561
Teclis is suffering, I agree

something like 180 back in wh2 when I was going for painting the entire map as bretonnia so I could get the maximum armour value from the factionwide buff building

>>533889983
Low 400s in WH2 as Alarielle in the Vortex campaign. Back when I was still fairly new to total warhammer.

>>533889983
I have 300 hours in warhammer 3 and have never achived long victory or got my LL to level 30. It's get boring really quickly. Otoh just started playing Phraoh and enjoy it tremendously.

>>533883506

>>533889983
about 250, but I was going for the ultimate victory thing

>>533889983
I played fall of the samurai and empire to the turn limits, I think around 220. also medieval 2 for about as long, but most of it was just mashing end turn waiting for the new world to be discovered.

>>533895476
>fall of the samurai to turn limits
comfy. Almost with I could turn naval battles off though. I don't hate them, they just get tedious after the first few, and if you want remotely acceptable outcomes you can't AR

>>533889561
Fey Isnt hard you just have to play defense for a couple of turns you can take out grom before turn 5 at this point Ikit will declare on you just keep killing his stacks pushing into Skavenblight is a trap he'll get wiped out by Aranessa Belegar or Orion eventually

I have only one wish in my life and that is that CA isn't making M3 game. I want to shower in tears of all the Mfags when they will announce the new game.

The funniest thing is that Pharaoh is one of the best games CA made, but nobody plays it because internet influencers said it was bad and sheep follow them.
I paid 5 bucks on cheap cd keys for it and I can't stop playing it.

>>533907075
wrong perspective. You should want CA to be making M3 specifically to laugh when it comes out and they still hate it because they don't actually like TW and only like m2 because of nostalgia.

>>533907376
how is it compared to Troy?
Troy bored me to tears

>>533910327
Dunno never played Troy.

>>533869229
the AI can click 10,000,000,000 times a second which allows their units to simply ignore your units when moving somewhere. The most egregious example is when they get a hold of a character on a chariot. This is also the reason why the AI can catch your high speed unit with a much lower speed unit, clicking 10,000,000,000 times apparently locks their units into the charging animation which is much faster than regular running.

>>533914609
>This is also the reason why the AI can catch your high speed unit with a much lower speed unit, clicking 10,000,000,000 times apparently locks their units into the charging animation which is much faster than regular running.
So that's why I feel cavalry is so slow, enemy spearmanii just get a bullshit speed bonus

>>533914827
Yep. I just had a unit of marauder horsemanii (90 speed) get caught by a unit of empire knights (75 or so speed) myself. Despite them never stopping because I was mash clicking them away they could never disengage and they routed before getting on top of the sunmaker they were gunning for.

I think my game is bugged because I can't construct tier 3 ornate countig room or clan goldsmiths. I run a lot of mods like landmarks and stuff but I'm not sure what might cause it. Anyone have had any experiences?

What are the best skills to put points into for Khazrak One-Eye on a chariot?
I've put points into increasing his charge bonus, but what about armour melee defence, and melee attack?

THis oughtta be fun

You had to build the other T2 to have acces to the T3 no ? Looking at the small arrows.

>>533916117
no

>>533916159
Hmm. I have tier 3 dwarf deep already

Does Yuri get access to the whole Warriors/Daemons of Chaos roster? Maybe I should play him

WHERES THE TRAILER?

Chorf mechanics really spoiled me and what time I've come to dislike because of them are resources that become near and completely useless. While I love the Ogre rework, it annoys me that camps have no use for meat after being maxed out and you cannot transfer the meat out. As for Kislev, the rework is much better than the old civil war mechanic, but I hate that the tokens have no use after unlocking everything, granted that it takes a while and most don't play that far.

>>533916886
You’re gonna regret it

Has anyone tried playing with the strengh settings of crisis factions? It's never felt satisfying; I wanna feel like I'm fighting to reclaim lost holds against an unending tide of baddies but ordertide always ruins it

>>533889983
In Warhammer 2 I spent about 250 or so turns playing as Throgg. I wasn't very good at playing Warhammer then, and especially not as Norsca. I should have been way more aggressive and eradicated the Empire factions.
Didn't manage it and they could unified and were churning out loads of armies filled with high-tier units. They razed or occupied all of my Norscan settlements and chased Throgg down to the Plain Of Bones.

>>533915589
the fey doesnt even know Morathi exists though

>>533916438
I meant T3 from that building chain.

>Ufdi - A Dwarf overfond of preening and decorating his beard; a vain Dwarf; a Dwarf who cannot be trusted to fight

>>533870252
Nope this always happened the Ai can "split" their units some can attack your front while some slip in the back attacking one guy causing the entire line to stop firing

>>533918024
Oh right, derp

>>533918024
I coulda sworn you could build tier 3 after going right before. Strange

>>533918224
>causing the entire line to stop firing
stick your ranged units in guard mode and give them a shooting order after they make contact

>>533917070

>>533889561
>>533890916
Did legendary Teclis recently, he's fine. One rough fight against Kairos early and you'll be using spears and archers for quite a while but having a super mage is pretty fucking good

>>533914609
>>533914827
I think it's remarkable that these professional video game devs didn't think of adding a millisecond clock pause into the algorithms for the computer. Isn't that like the very most basic thing you learn about making synced processes?

>>533918817

>>533918395
Didn't played Dwarfs much but i remember watching videos about The Deep mecahnic and it was like that:
Right path can only go up to T2 but only have bonuses.
Left path can go up to T3 but have (stronger) bonuses and penalties.

>>533915589
Why wouldn't the Lady warn her popess about Morathi sorcery and the Dark Elves raiders ?

I just don't understand this company

I don't know why they're so hesitant to reveal the DLC content. Even if it ends up dropping in October, they could have announced one unit/lord/hero every other week since January.

>>533921906
How Un-Teclis of you.

>>533922968
a deeper reading of teclis' character reveals that it is very teclis

>>533922960
A few months back when I was taking a break from TW I could swear they were dropping new shit every other week, or maybe it just felt like that because I wasn't really paying attention
>>533922506
I can't believe how unbelievably spoiled I was thinking I had it rough being a Helldivers 2 fan

Teclis should get a diplomatic penalty with Alarielle and the Sisters of Twilight and get a diplomacy boost with Elspeth, Repanse, Morgiana, Miao Ying and Katarin.
