>>534831137
me irl unironically, just drank 1.5 liters of milk, 4 scoops of whey, half a bar of chocolate, a chocolate croissant and two tablespoons of chocolate powder mixed with sugar. To be fair I just did a 2 hours workout.

oh I forgot actually, not kimchi but I drank 300g of "drinkable yogurt" too

later I will make a summer "salad" with 300g of lentils, one tomato, one sweet onion, one mozzarella ball and a tunna can, olive oil dressing and some oregano and basil

umm why don't drycha's elf units have the sissy hypno glowing pink eyes like the porn

I'm too autistic to use allied units because you can't buff them through tech tree, red line or particular lord/hero skills, I like to be on the top of my game. Why use a unit I haven't buffed its MA/MD by 10+, +5 piercing dmg, 10% range 20% missile damage, 10% physical resistance + 15% missile resistance? The mere idea is absolutely insane.

>>534834827
modders save us...

>>534834896
red skills are kind of bullshit in general
it makes this mod mandatory
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909055000

>>534834896
yeah the main turnoff for me is you don't get any of the tech tree discounts for them so any unit worth allied recruiting is gonna be like 500+ upkeep per

>>534835052
>red skills are kind of bullshit in general
What? Why?

>>534835601
Most likely some variation of "if your monitor is on during gameplay you didn't beat the game" retardation.

>>534834896
the main reason to use allied units is to fill in the gaps your faction doesn't get
see >>534830672 , gives the dwarfs access to healing and cavalry for example
it can also just be cool sometimes
the changeling (lol) buffs allied units in his skill tree

>>534835943
>it can also just be cool sometimes
Yeah, playing Empire and having Breton Cav just gives me Rohirrim vibes and I love that

>>534831571
Empire/all my other orderbros. Don't know what army to put Bretonnian allied units in though.

>>534836516
Make bret cav fight along empire cav and roleplay a bitter rivalry between them on who is better.

>>534831571
Vampires and Vampire coast

Also fuck this item
I had it kill my lord 4 times already
Never got the trait

>>534832247
Malekith when he takes the throne from Tyrion.

>>534836835
I suppose I could replace the Helstorms in Karl's army with grail knights for 2 wings of cavalry

>>534836995
Making him unbreakable turns him into a god anyway.

>>534836995
what traits do you even get with this shite? any actual good stuff?

>>534835601
see >>534834896

>>534837230
He hardly needs it.

>>534834896
Whenever I see him I think he's Patrick Stewart.

>>534837445
Not sure, CA rigged this shit so I can never get it

>>534837445
It's a unique trait. Iirc it gave 20% HP, 10% Ward Save, some reseach speed and something else.

>>534831571
Counts and Empire
Walls of undead fodder protecting whatever tech the Empire wants to bring to bear, loss of human life kept to a minimum against the horrors of the world
The true "we fought monsters and we became them"

>>534831571
giving warriors of chaos chorf guns and artillery is pretty fun

>>534837445
+20% hp and +10% ward save. This trait is lost if Helm is unequipped
also +20% exp and 10% research rate but who the fuck cares

>>534838367
research rate is pretty good now that it stacks until your next turn reduction

>>534838367
>+20% hp and +10% ward save. This trait is lost if Helm is unequipped
WHAT THE FUCK ITS GARBAGE THEN
I THOUGHT I CAN UNEQUIP THIS SHITTY HELMET WHEN I GET IT

>>534838662
Always has been. Most of random purples are meme items anyway. Except maybe the regen swords, those are always great to have.

>>534838072
2% is ridiculously low. Its not 50 turns for guaranteed effect (obviously). In fact you could spend 100 turns from gaining it and you'd still have 1-in-6 chance to still not have it. For how minor the buff is and how crippling 10 turn wound would be on your powerhouse lord you want the trait on, its really not worth it. Also the helm itself looks strong but is rather mid besides unbreakable. Immune to contacts is too rarely useful besides poison which is only -15% debuf anyways and charge defense is also situational, doubly so if your lord has flying/monstrous mouny. I'd take +10 MD +regeneration armor over it any day.

>set bait army in march stance behind ambush army
The consistency is impressive.

>>534838430
kino

Which lizardary lord is the most fun?

>>534838256
based and tamurkhanpilled

>>534839510
Nakai. Oxy's novelty wore off quickly for me.

>>534839510
Tehenhauin

>>534838918
>unbreakable
the helm is still not worth using because you can't keep the trait and all the downsides, but unbreakable is easily the weakest trait of all the ones it provides
if you're tanky enough you're not going to break anyways, unless it was already a losing fight
there are a lot of random contact effects now that they have added more to the new items, and even before you would run into situations where contact effects really screw you over like agianst crooked moon
it is also much easier to get armor and MD than it is to get immune to contact effects, regeneration would be better though

>>534832247
Those 2 gotta be best buds

>>534838256
>>534839546
I think I have a new campaign idea~

>>534838256
can you please tell Arbaal that so my Astragoth campaigns aren't over at turn 10

>>534840716
and?

>and?

who is the most autistic LL

>>534841319

>>534841319
all Lizardmen are by definition autistic, out of all of them probabyl tiq'tak'to because of his hyperfixation on fliers

>>534841471
>>534841465
true

wegh

>>534832224
Hopefully she doesn't have the stupid pipe hat.

>>534834896
I have no idea what your talking about. Allied units have carried some of my campaigns.

>>534829928
No

>>534843743
the pipe hat would be ok but something more like this without the skull would be better

Necrons vs Tomb Kings

>>534844468
they're the same picture

>>534834896
Post your campaign elo.

>>534845896
Thank God

>frogposter desperate for attention
why is this the case every time.

>>534846078
>StealFromOthers got hit
kinda ironic

>>534845896
How is this even an issue? If someone is making reports in bad faith just ban them.

>>534845896
>look it up
>literally just two modders being autistic
yaaaaaawn

>>534840295
This story was such a fun read, shame it had an anticlimactic ending.
>AND THEN WHEN CHAOS REACHES NULN THE EMPIRE JUST DESTROYS THEM ALL LOL

>>534846553
It's a DMCA so Valve just sends a letter to the mod owner and tells them "respond in 30 days or be deleted". It's the law, Valve can't do anything against false claims as that's a problem for the feds.

>>534845896
>It started with HoI4 autism
I am not remotely surprised

>>534846750
Not so fast, buck

>>534846647
>Valve can't do anything
Valve can literally see who the person making these reports is, and if they judge them to be in bad faith they can just ban the guy.

pretty good taste in games tho

nooo, these malicious hackers are going to kill the modding scene
steam is the ONLY place to get mods, and false copyright claims are a DEATH SCENTENCE

>>534837165
>the throne
aka Alarielle.

>>534847106
They're using fake accounts to mass spam DMCA claims. Valve can't do anything UNLESS they start checking every DMCA claim and they're not going to do that.

>>534847075

>>534841319

>>534847261
>Valve can't do anything UNLESS they start checking every DMCA claim and they're not going to do that.
Legitimate DMCA claims aren't a common occurrence on steam, frankly they're not a common occurrence anywhere because it's a felony to falsely report people. So yes, they can absolutely investigate this.

>>534847261
Yes Anon, you're right, this is the end of modding, its over, two hoi4 autists will take down mods for dozens of games
kek

>>534845538
They went from an unknowable and alien part of the setting, meant to showcase non-Chaos cosmic horror and how insane it was to challenge the Old Ones to... wacky talking robots in space.

But I like the newcrons because they are Tomb Kings (in space).

>>534848336
wtf are you not aware that old thing good?

okay Kemmler is fucking insane actually wtf, literally took 0 dmg by the end of a pretty serious battle against helves full of lothern sea guards, eagles and dragon princes, the buffs to the cairn ghosts and hexwraiths are crazy

>>534848748
also, you could argue vampire counts are weak against ranged, but ranged units align perfectly for winds of death spam while your army takes its time to get to the enemy

>>534848402
I mean, oldcron still exists as empire of the severed, but without the c'tan.

>>534848653

Labubu will be a LL in Total War: Hawk Tuah

What's the early game strategy as Be'lakor? I took my starting land, should I move into Norsca, go to Bretonnia, or fuck off through some portals to somewhere else in the world and start collecting Champions? I'm using recruit defeated lords, with access to all Daemons so I can make thematic armies.

Do I only want to keep Dark Forts and resource settlements or should I keep everything and just sell the non special/resource ones to vassals for more cash?

Total Waste of the Warhammer IP 3

>>534853590
Usually I have the most luck if I go east into Norsca until I border Throgg, and then like you can get an alliance going with him and make that one of your borders, since you can end up in a situation if you like keep going where you get stuck trying to take the hellpit while being pulled in tooo many directions at once
I usually get rid of everything but the dark forts and resources, you get so little from the tier 1 settlements (and they're so hard to defend) that the only reason I'd keep them is to barter them away to people for vassal deals
Be careful about not vassalizing LITERALLY everyone, its a really fun idea and I like doing it but you'll end up making all your vassals hate you and they'll break their trade agreements. I actively break this advice anyway, but it's probably better to just vassalize norscans and grow their power

>>534853590
Oh right I forgot to say after like I border Throgg then I like try to invade Northern Chaos Wastes and High elves lands
Also be careful of recruiting Azazel and Nkari, they can be buggy, idk why but they tend to drag over their slaaaneshi army abilities with them, ehich is fine, but weird

>>534847353
>Pretends to be outraged

>>534861901
Hello fellow fantas- I mean Romance player!

>>534861901
Reminder that Troy has weapon switching and yet knights in WH still use their lance after the charge and black orcs need variants for different weapons

>>534861901
maybe I'll try 3K whenever I get over my Pharaoh kick, but the UI gives me brain damage, it makes no sense
I know it's a different game but is there a way to to target and empty building or forest with no enemies in Pharaoh? It seems like it could be useful for making a breach but if there's no enemy then they don't shoot

>>534861901
>Chen Gong
Ping Pong to you too

>>534862495
Even Rome 2 and Attila had cavalry automatically switch off from their lance to their sidearm after their charge bonus expired.

>Puppets of Misrule's vassal controls the Great Bastion
>Western Provinces declare war on me
>Pass directly through the wall and attacks my settlements
Lame, if a hostile faction controls the bastion they shouldnt be able to just walk right through it

>>534862508
Alt + right click allows you to target empty spaces with archers in Pharaoh.

>>534862905
The great bastion is a tofu dreg project, prease understand.

>>534862905
But Zhao isn't at war with THOSE filthy chaos worshippers :^)

>>534861901
>default portraits with seemingly no mtu or tup in sight
Nigger what are you doing

>>534863157
Yeah but they ARE at war with Puppets, but not their vassals for some reason

Both of the upcoming Total War games will allow you to deploy defences before battle begins. Some units/factions will even be able to deploy such equipment within the vanguard deployment zone.

>>534862984
oh thanks

>>534863342
stakes are lostech thoughbeit, CA can't pierce the Yakubian veil and access pre-WH Wakanda

>>534863342
Just give me the ability to deploy units outside the walls so my missiles can actually take advantage of the higher ground and my cavalry can actually maneuver without having to cram through the gates right as the battle begins. For fuck sake its so simple.

>400 hours of WH3
>not even one second of lizardmen content
am I missing out?

>>534864339
Objectively you might as well wait for the mini rework they're supposedly getting.
But you might as well load a Gor'rok campaign and play around with Kroak for a bit. He's fucking metal.

>>534864339
They're very fun on the battlefield but very boring on the campaign map without cheats

norscakeks, why are we so short?

>>534864702
Archaon is probably something like 6'8''.

>>534863717
They're not pre-WH, they're in 3K.

You could say I know my type. You could call me a man of culture as well. You wouldn't be wrong.

>>534864339
This was me with the Beastmen until a week ago, bought their DLC in early WH2 and never once played them until now
For the lizzers I like Oxy because I can teleport around the map looking for CHAOS FUCKING SHITS to kill

>>534864339
Oxyotl is fun, and if you want to funmaxx you can play Oxyotl and try to confederate all your liggerbros

>>534865359
>>534863717
toys can't change weapons so warhammer units can't change weapons.
It's intentional.

>>534865548
It is intentional but it's not to match the tabletop, it's intentional because it means less work for more praise for CA. As we saw in OoD they are willing to outright sell weapon variations in DLC now too.

>>534861901
>no lizards or different species only h*mans
nope.

>>534866597
This but
>no undead humans

Is there a way to tweak this RNG or a mod to just let me choose or start with a battle wizard as Franz? A fucking Death Wizard and Beast Wizard every time for the last fifteen reloads I'll take literally anything else.

how much azazel will get from new dlc? I kinda want to play him now

>>534867790
Probably some gifted units and access to the Exalted Hero of Slaanesh.
The DLC is months away so I recommend playing him now if that is what you crave.

Will Yrliwhoretardslutcunt be in TW:40K as a LH option for Leldar?

Holy shit this man is insane. Is this the biggest gangster in the entire game? Looks cool, is cool, is invincible.

>>534864702
they aren't as purely devoted to the chaos gods as people like archaon that understand their true nature so he doesnt recieve the same amount of HGH as he does

>>534868931
>Is this the biggest gangster in the entire game?
Yes

>>534868931
he likes gold so much he only drinks white wine

How is the game overall now, I heard a lot of people comaining about game 3.
The Warhammer Trilogy bundle on allkeys is pretty cheap for the content, was thinking of getting it. If game 3 is really in a bad spot can play 2, since that's the one people universally praised.
But wanted to check here first since maimstream public opinion is not always trustworthy.

>>534871326
Its fine. 3 is an improvement on 2 make no mistake, its more bemoaned the pace and agony it takes for CA to put shit out.
If you play three, go straight for ‘immortal empires’ campaign instead of ‘realms of chaos’. Seriously.

>>534871326
Not terrible, not great

>>534871141
>Has no imagination
>Likes that a literal idea regurgitator makes up for it
Yeah, pretty standard NPC behavior

>>534871326
>namefag
the second game was better at the time but warhammer 3 is better now, especially if you get the bundle
since warhammer 3 combines all 3 games together so despite certain things being better in the older games they just can't compete

>>534867345
death and beasts are both good options though?

every spell on beasts is amazing, it's only underrated because it depends on army comp unlike some other lores
wildform and pelt both give great buffs to light-medium infantry
curse of anrahir is good at making elite infantry not so elite
flock and spear are both good at what they do
summons are always good, even if the manticore is shit.

Non-AOE by default buff and debuff spells feel pretty weak to me. Even within that, single target debuffs feel much more impactful than buffs. I guess because potentially multiple of your units can take advantage?

DE players, do you normally build your settlements like any other faction or do you lean more into economy while you have all your troop buildings on Black Arks?
