>>536111057
kek I remember requesting this image. Good times. Before the 40keks and CA ruined everything..

Do I understand it correctly that owning Total War Warhammer 1 and 2 unlock more stuff in 3? Then it would be better to get the Trilogy right?

>>536111310
40kfags are about to be btfo forever.

>>536111789
yes

If they release Medieval 3 or Warhammer 40k I'll simply won't play it.
Rome 3/3K2 or TOTAL CA DEATH

>>536112120

>Cathay lore from long ago
Lol. Lmao even.

>>536113542
Anon... I know it's hard to swallow but... TWW3 is already more than 3 years old, and Cathay's updated lore predates that by probably another year...

I'd just like to remind all the Cathayposters that Yuan Bo gets killed by a questing knight :)

>>536113402
Why would they release two 40k RTS at the same time?

>>536112010
Alright, but I only need to install the third one I hope

>>536114749
pretty much it, then you can creamapi it if you want.

>>536113772
>4 years ago
>long ago
kek

Someone explain nurgle demons to me.
I've been crushing all chaos as dorfs all day long with decisive victories all the time but then a single nurgle army suddenly got a phyirric victory

Like the way the battle went it was
>everything is fine, ironbreaker frontline winning just fine, let me focus on these flying units for a second
>1 second later
>entire frontline in tatters everyone almost dead, nurglings suddenly break through the line everywhere and I have to send the slayers in

>>536115026
Ok boomer.

>>536116707
Did they have Exalted Plaguebearers? Their range attack melts infantry

>>536114576
>One is a real time game with An MP focus (high chance of failure)
>One is a turn based with real-time battles and a grand campaign (SP focus, less chance of failure)
You also have a full turn based games already out and a 4x civ like.

>>536116707
you fought a front line that has stats that favor long engagements and heals itself pretty well while focusing on possibly the WORST flying units in the game(death's head are ok but still annoying to use effectively). I'd advise you to pepper that frontline as it advances since for once, you're actually faster than the enemy army's frontline

>>536117093
They did have exalted plaguebearers

>>536117312
>heals itself pretty well
I see, I didn't know that. I was focusing on the annoying toads and fliers that were attacking my gyrocopters, and ended up not noticing the heals.

I also saw some spawn of nurlge spawning out of nowhere, instantly killed one of my wounded ironbreakers.

>>536117591
which faction are you fighting
T, E, or K?

>>536117591
>They did have exalted plaguebearers
yep that'll do it their range attack fucking absolutely melts units especially if they're bunched up should always shoot em or bait their range attack with a hero/general

>>536117680
Tallymen of pestilence

>>536117704
I had just finished up some khorne guys so I went in auto-mode, set up ranged and just wait for the enemy. Next time I'll try some baiting their shit.

>>536118123
that faction makes their frontline units extremely powerful, shell those units from far away

>>536114576
Releasing two Warhammer 40k RTS games at the same time would be retarded. But guess what? Games Workshop IS retarded.

>>536118959
Is everyone in Nottingham retarded?

Just release Three Kingoms II already jeez.

https://youtu.be/XD_nKRCwz0w?si=59W7DjBXS2jEHeWZ
Mechanicus 2 gameplay, what do you think
Different from 1, but looks like a solid strategy game

>>536118235
Got it. I think I'll cut down on gyrocopters too, their shitty fliers just kill them pretty fast.

if you could add a stat or whatever on its unit card that calls out whether a unit has good animations or bad ones would that actually help people with army composition?

>>536119259
and how is this in any capacity related to total war?

>>536114576
Why the fuck would GW care about that?
They already got their shekels from liscencing. Vidya is a side gig for them, their main focus is selling minis and lorebooks

>>536117096
>One is a turn based with real-time battles and a grand campaign (SP focus, less chance of failure)
good thing dow4 is going to be this one

>>536119098
Everyone is the UK is

stop corner camping

Which of the three undead factions can I build tall with? And if you say tomb kangz, is the arkham mod and tomb kangs expanded mod any good?

>>536114576
1) Games Workshop doesn't care, they already got paid for IP rights. They don't really manage the game studios apart from making sure they don't go off base with story/lore and what weapons/units can do.
2) They are different types of games, DoW4 classic base building RT with point captures. Sure it's large scale, but it's not like Total War which is real time tactics with grand strategy map. Doesn't mean that people who like DoW4 will kike TW:40K.
3) Even if there is an overlap in fanbase the differences will scrazch different itches in also another way: DoW4 will have a bigger MP scene if it's good and a competitive focus, while TW40K will be singleplayer focused.

>>536121304
vampirates are made for it, especially noctilus
you even have a reason NOT to take a settlement after a fight since you get hero unit cap and income from it

even the patch got delayed
grim and rather... grave?...

>>536121557
I was thinking them but don't they have that weird bug where if you start a fight from sea you waste a turn if the AI moves slightly inland

Suppose I could use a trainer to get extra turn if that happens actually

>>536121651
that bug hits everyone
saw it happen in a delf campaign when I sent morathi to attack one of the donut's ports
unless I'm UNAWARE

any of these worth it?

>>536123191
Atilla runs like shit even on the secret lizardpeople quantum computers

>>536123378
isn't there that thrones of britannia dll fix?

>>536111057
Why is she Cathayan?

>>536123191
Charles le Magnus is 100% worth playing
Everything else is "Do you want to play the faction/setting?"

Looking into becoming a career swamp person.

Where else can you find a lot of swamps besides Lustria?

>>536123191
I'd reccomend Age of Big Chuck to anyone with the remainder in the "if interested" catagory. Last Roman, Slavs, and Sand are better quality than the rest though.

>>536123191
>>536125262
Also to add, Vikings were a pre-order pack and are just a copy paste of the Saxons so it's just if you like the faction traits/starting area.

>>536124780
Skavenblight.
Southern Badlands.
South-Western Cathay.
Anywhere with high Nurgle corruption.
Anywhere with high Skaven corruption.

What factions use monsters in general but have infantry/archers as the hammer while they can use the monster units as the anvil?

Kinda picturing like 2-3 enemy unit stacks on one monster while the hammer units surround the enemy 2-3 units

>>536113402
Ok when bro?

>>536127265
wood elves have the opposite
they have a really strong line of monster anvil with weak elven cavalry hammer
if you can resist the urge to build nothing but archers of course.

Do people here really buy the dlc for total war games instead of pirating?

>>536127265
>>536127573
Wait no I'm retarded, you want monsters as the anvil, that's the wood elves yeah, their tree monsters are perfect for it.

>>536109238
>>536109350
why didn't Kazuma tap that?
is he GAY?

reminder that this is the face of the man who dictates balance for the game

>>536127331
side by side with dow4 launch
also going to come with gladius 2, darktide 2, dawn of heresy, an untitled game thats dragon commander but with the horus heresy, an untitled game that's endless space but 40k, an untitled game thats deep rock but squats, an untitled game thats helldivers but with space marines, an untitled game thats no mans sky in 40k, warhammer map packs for risk, a hive city spinoff for lethal company, a top down bullet hell mechanicus game, and a call of duty: 40k

>>536127656
I never pirate.

Why didn't they update the skill trees to necromancers, wight kings, kings and banshees when they tinkered with vampire counts? They're so painfully vanilla and boring and don't offer anything other than assassinations, corpse carts, and an anchor for your tar pits

>>536129342
I don't know man... I kinda get the impression you are talking out of your ass.

>>536129560
histcuck denialist cant see when hes beaten little baby histfag closes his eyes to the inenviable

>>536127932
Unflattering image, also fun fact Turin's dad was Peter Scholari, a somewhat famous actor (not mainstream name everyone knows like DiCaprio, but still somewhat known)

>>536129465
Feel free to use a mod if you want content that isn't 'utter shit', anon
They're busy making DLC!

>>536127265
why would you use units that fight in immobile formations as the hammer and the high mass, high charge bonus, terror causing monsters as the anvil?

>>536129881
never heard of him, but Turin gets better pussy than I could ever hope to so regardless of how much I seethe I must kneel

i dont really like bone giants
but armor piercing looks good as a faction affect

>>536114576
2 different companies.

>>536123737
Ask anon >>536111310

>>536123737
Because I though it'd be funny if everything the Bretonnians believed about the lady of the lake was wrong and it was actually a random Cathayan woman. It was requested at the height of squireposting. I thought it was funny but i'm also autistic.

>>536134121
Did they buff that unit? Bone Giant is shit for anti-monster artillery.

I liked alberics goofy and retarded voice now he sounds too serious

>boat tard
Lol

what units will the HE get this DLC?
not interested in chaosshitters, but I might get the new elf lord

>>536145184
skycutters

Let us pre-order Tides of Torment.

>>536145184
Sky cutter, Merwyrm, Annointed of Assuryun generic lord, lothern seahelm hero, and uhhh idunno silver helms-swords?

>>536135768
>Because I though it'd be funny if everything the Bretonnians believed about the lady of the lake was wrong and it was actually a random Cathayan woman. It was requested at the height of squireposting. I thought it was funny but i'm also autistic.
I found it funny as well. I was just wondering if there was some kind of in-joke behind it that I didn't know about.

>>536138480
>What's next? The lady is actually a Skink?
The Lady is a Norscan.

>>536146165
Who would preorder a dlc thats 3 months away?

>>536145184
I just want Dragonships.

>>536145184
sauce...

what the hell is that army

It will soon be possible to play as Kroq-Gar and have an army filled entirely with Blessed Saurus Warriors.

So apart from stat tweaks, is that the last we are ever going to see as far as updates for Lizardmen?

So what is this TK update? I haven't played the game in a while

what will battle time be if its no longer feeding time for thorgg

>>536153674
Some sort of weird pre-stargate collapse alliance?

>>536153674
looks like one of my armies
the ai is learning

>>536153674

Winnable ?

>>536157387
with lots of micro and skirmishing until franz arrives, maybe.

reiksguard? more like YIKESguard lolol

>>536157387
send it to legend and find out in 6 months

>>536157637
He's being lightning-struck. Franz will never arrive.

>>536157825
well then it's over

>>536157387
Why do you build shit armies? Clearly you can produce something you can actually fight with.

>>536158131
>t.

>>536151317

>>536157387
While I to enjoy making armies with lots of cavalry, why did you hire so much free company militia

>>536123378
WRONG

>>536127265
you can play drycha and facetank the enemy with treemen and rear charge with dryads i guess

I had a lot of fun with this mod before, but it got deleted off the workshop and I'm too retarded to know how to update it. Any lads want to take a crack at it? https://we.tl/t-TnQtngyU5p

Throggs new voice is pretty good. Smarter but still very much a voice of a troll king. A forum thread has it and the new french knights voicelines

Are Hellcannons worth it for Warriors of Chaos? I think I've always had at least one for as long as I've played but I'm not sure if they're worth their slot nowadays.

>>536160185
https://voca.ro/1bK2j3QtOZTb

>>536160476
they are unnecessary, but can be good if you want to play defensively and let the enemy come to you, or for sieges

>>536160808
Is... Is that just Yuan Bo's voice actor?

>>536157387
Well, I hope I have weakened him enough for K.F's army.
>>536158131
>>536158869
When he came up from Hochland and started razing my Middenland the only military building I had was the Casle Reikguard in Altdorf, the next turn I got the ranged building.

its finally done bros... now i just have to finish off skrolk and all of south lustria will be mine

>>536159586
i aint clicking that

>>536160476
every faction with artillery should have 1 to force the enemy to move

why is ca like this

>>536164126
yee-yee ass haircut

>>536114576
I don't mean to fuel the 40k shitposting but have limited control over licensed properties' marketing and development, they just advise design things when asked or when something they don't like is reported. Soulstorm released less than a year from Dawn of War 2 for instance, competing for the same space

>>536164126

the moon empress is the consort of the dragon emperor of cathay

brothers, i think this is a skaven

Miragliano sounds like "Look at the anus" in Italian.

>>536169348
that's probably intentional and referring to it's neighbor skavenblight

our borders are beset by gerbils

Brother, you have doomed us!

>>536169607
I guess so, it can't get more intentional than "Mira gli ano" which is quite literally "look at the anus", like it's not "close to sound like", it's the literal translation.

AYE NOBLE MASTERS

>>536164723
???
she's very cute though
>>536169348
written when you'd need an english to italian translation book to know. Probably thought no parent or anyone would realise, since GW probably never envisioned them being popular enough to have a store in Italy

>my Chorf campaign gets corrupted after 300 hrs of sporadically playing nothing but Chorfs over a whole year
>brute force it through numerous crashes until I get to the next turn
BIBLOO HATOO!

>>536170168
If Miragliano was in Estalia it would be called Miraelano.

>>536171975
what if it was in english

Estalia = Espana + Italia

a Grey Seer with regeneration, 95% ward save, 95% physical resist, 95% missile resist, 95% spell resist, 95% fire resist, poison immunity, disease immunity, immunity to all attrition, all lores of magic, 1 billion winds of magic, and a warpstone AK-47 appears in your bedroom
he kills you, you cant survive it, skaven are the best-best

>>536172279
They're always dead by turn 5 from beasts and rats. Would be a pity when/if we get Dogs of war and they're all dead pretty quick

>*muffled shouts of DOOMSKULL KABANU in the background*

>>536174816
The most demoralizing part of the Blitz was seeing Slough remain unharmed

>Big total war annoucement at the end of the year
Honestly I think an Elder Scrolls total war would be better and more interesting than 40k. It has a massive timeline with a fleshed out factions and aesthetics like warhammer, huge varitation in potential lords and eras, monsters and magic.

>>536169348
Most Tilea lore was written by an Italian who happed to work at GW
That's why Estalia is relatively sparse compared to Tilea, nobody at the office gave a shit about Spain.
The name may be a bad pun but also could be a badly spelled refrence to one of Venices nicknames, the Miracle City.

>>536175279
Can we make $500 million in Space Marine DLC sales with Elder Scrolls?

>>536175536
interesting gw lore

Dawn of War 4 looks like a disaster being pre-hyped by Warhammer Jewtubers.

CA will stomp those Iron Harvest niggers.

>>536176419
But they're both working together to stomp on WHFB's last hurrah.

tilea is an anagram of itale

Does it still hold that Repanse is one of the easier Bretonnian lords? I keep getting surrounded on all sides by turn 25 or so, Wurrzag to the south with a giant WAAAAG, at least 4th rank strength. Random ass vampire coasts take over the north, and to the east it's always Skarbrand or more vampires.

>Random vampire coasts
sartosafag on suicide watch

Ah, tis a fine day to be sinking some Carthaginian transports

>>536178312
I don't play much Bretonnia but yeah
>Louen and footslut get bombarded by Ikit, Morghur, Grom, Kemmler, Be'lakor in some order within the first 20 turns
>Alberic now has Skulltaker on his doorstep
Repanse can at least get a little momentum and some territory before the campaign-enders show up

>>536180862
she's not a slut

Why are they doing this huge rebalancing patch and its still not even the DLC yet?

>>536181663
cuz the dlc will be out in early december

>>536168736
What a small thing to get angry about

>>536180862
even with skulltaker alberic is the easiest
just kill him once and the campaign is over, he can just befriend everything else with diplomacy tech and his port buffs are great

The secret announcement will be that they didnt sell enough DLC in the first half of the year so Total War will be blown up
Its our fault for not buying DLC they havent made, truly

>>536182746
So short sighted of them.

I wish there was a legendary lord that has schemes.

Been playing AOW4 since Legend advertised it and its really fun, its kind of crazy how the devs in that game are the exact opposite of CA in that they keep giving people what they want.
>AOW4 devs
>QoL updates whenever the players ask for them, FLC additions every few instances of downtime, keep improving how the game runs, every DLC has been met with praise
>CA devs
>took 3 games to finally fix a lot of ancillaries, took 3 games for Alberic to get a proper voice
>a shitty Blood Knight reskin and a shitty bolt thrower reskin for the entire year as FLC that no one asked for
>barely improved optimization only recently, still runs like shit
>OoD was met with divided, mostly negative opinions
Also its more fun, fuck WH3

>>536189517
There used to be, but not anymore

>>536190306
AOW4 fucking sucks dude the battles are so small scale

Can you imagine how bad repanse smells in that desert heat? I mean being French is bad enough already.

I got tricked again by mpfags who told me maneaters (ogre pistols) "were amazing" and I recruited some of them instead of more leadbelchers. I wish I could bash in his mpfag skull. I hate mpfags so goddamn much.

>>536196698
Singlecels btfo yet again mpmoggers

>>536196698
They are very useful when you're playing anything else but the ogres and you get them from mercenary recruitment. I never bother with them when playing as actual ogres as they're tier 5 and there are more better things to recruit.

>>536196698
turin would've won

Managed to make boris homeless by taking his last settlement. He's been running around with an unbeatable army (for now at least) for 6 turns and he's not desintegrating. Anybody know why? I haven't played kislev

>>536197527
tier 5, 2 turns to recruit and they are more costly to recruit and mantain than leadbelchers, lmao

it's the typical unit that on paper should be insane, an all rounder basic maneater with high stats and with a ranged attack that can fire whilst moving, I guess that's why it's good on mp because for its price it brings versatility against the unknown and can manage against many things if properly micro'd but on sp there's so many better options. But their pistol don't seem to do shit anyway, maybe against chaff but it's like their firing rate is so fucking low and if you try to micro by moving back against an advancing enemy they don't seem to shoot until they are properly positioned facing the enemy again, it's so fucking shit so I don't even see the appeal. These hybrid units are almost always a fucking disaster. Yeah they are okay on the first 20 turns if you can recruit them from an ogre merc camp and fight against chaff, I guess.

CA should appeal to waifufags more to make money and get a bigger auidence.

>>536198592
you're supposed to use them like free company with elite ogre stats. run them around to give fire support anywhere it's needed and if they get attacked by furies or something they don't give a fuck.

>>536199771
Yeah that's how I use them. Force melee and they shoot as they charge. Or in standoffs they shoot over the head of infantry and then charge.

>>536193834
Where do wolves go in this

>>536198530
boris is immune to attrition

>>536202814
i thought they fixed the bankruptcy and no last settlement attrition after the durthu incident

>>536202305
Wolves are the thinking man's spirit animal, not mere pets.

>>536203235
i don't think the peasants are going to make it

>>536203324
there are two wolves inside of you, one is based and the other is redpilled

At least give us some Aislinn info....

>>536203235
>allied recruitment bolt thowers
why they fucking suck

>>536204540
NTA but bret arty also sucks and I suppose he just wanted any arty at all but didn't want to bother with building shit to make them, also 1 turn global recruit.

>>536204540
I needed something with siege attacker early on and they've somehow made their way to Louens' backup stack

>>536204924

bolt throwers are actually not that bad against infantry blobs
their single target mode is shit tho
they also have the weird property of being able to hide in the woods

Not shown but half the stack of goblins and ork boyz got away clean, they were on the far side map edge when army losses kicked in

>>536205537
fucking bolty lost to a PEASANT

will it worth repeatedly abandoning and resettling your starting province as settra to rush t5

what the fuck causes that sometimes you can't see the enemy army deployed? like I can vanguard deploy right in front of them but I can't see them while deploying the troops, the enemies in this case were dwarfs.

>>536207052
I think it's because they were reinforced? but I don't recall this ever happening. Also, if I reload and restart the fight (it's on end turn) and get myself closer to the position they were in before they in turn spawn on the other side of the map lmao.

>>536205697
Yeah ranged units and mage didn't get much micro in that one, too busy with lords and cav.
The bolt throwers were probably busy shooting the other peasants in the back of the head

>>536205548
>Unique siege map instead of Minas Tirith being same generic capital map variant 1, 2 or 3
Disgusting.

sex with elspeth

CA said that the patch notes would be released today.
I fear that the 6.3 patch notes... have been delayed.

>>536198592
>Comparing Maneaters to Leadbelchers
They arent primary ranged unit. They are melee unit with precursor weapon. For SP they are on rather expensive side for what they do, but nonetheless a direct upgrade to normal Maneaters. As ogres live on charge bonus, there is certain benefit to shaving 500-1000 hp from enemy unit before the charge so they break faster and you get another charge going. The guns also let them inflict casualties far quicker on routing or retreating units.

>>536208048
sounds grim

>>536208048
You didn't know this, sister?

>>536208206
Feels grave.

>>536208320
I have no doubt that the Aislinn blog will release on time and with no further delays.

>>536196438
Unmentioned mechanics like ranged accuracy and melee attack speed, please understand.
Dont know if they changed this in WH3, but in WH2 units with less than 20% models left in losing army are killed, for winning army only units with less than 5% models are killed, and SEMs are an exception that always survive if they have more than 1 hp left (1hp is another exception that leads to them being killed off because spaghetti code)

A lot changes, a lot stays the same.

Greatswords should be Chosen tier strong, while Chosen of Sigmar should be the equivalent of Aspiring Champions.

>>536206950
Are you incapable of playing at a normal pace?

>>536212083
Of course! He is playing the Tomb Kings.

>>536211593
Hmmm the plaques say you were supposed to get one more DLC in 2026, but the devs took too long to release Tides of Torment and by the time it released in November 2026, CA had already cancelled any further development of WH3 to free up the devs to make DLCs for TW40K and Total War: War of 1812. What a shame.

>>536206950
TK economy is shit. You cant afford recolonization too many times.

At this point I think it is sincere because enough people cannot use super quick units in the tree hellscape that is Ulthuan vs Archers.

Well AoW4 is the only thing they have, it's not surprising that it's properly supported.
Meanwhile there is nothing to add to TWW3 anymore since it's complete and game is deep into random fanfiction territory at this point just to made up some bullshit to sell. So everyone was moved onto TW:40K and TW:Medieval 3

Not to even mention its ‘le 25th anniversary’ year where this is even more shameful.

Are we getting thanquol and nagash as a dlc at some point you reckon? Or TWW4: end times

>>536216289
All will be made clear in December 2025 at the Total War E3 conference.

Greatswords should be stronger than Aspiring Champions individually while keeping their current unit count.

Aren't we all "aspiring" champions?

Slayers are so fucking annoying to fight against, it takes literally ages to kill those last 2 or 3 and they are enough to disrupt a 45 men gunpowder regiment who just "does nothing" if they get stuck fighting them.

IT'S HAMMER TIME

when the patch drops, im ending it all, no more cheese

it will have something for luthor
i am tired of having the same old 225 range handguns

First time playing TW (I actually played shogun 1 back in the day but I don't remember a thing). I'm planning on completing rome 2, then shogun 2 and then move on to warhammer. Is there a general consensus on how many provinces you should take per army? Right now I have a single army and two and a half provinces and I'm struggling with movement when I'm at war with 2 different factions. They attack from one side, defend with my army, kill them and retake the city, then a diferent faction attacks from a different side, takes a city or two, rinse and repeat. It's not that their armies are superior, it's just they spam them quicker than I can defend

>>536218313
what's the point if the enemy can't use them either, I guess the AI is retarded and doesn't use them as well, but that goes for everything. Also you are nerfing yourself against factions that barely use damaging spells and are balanced in that regard, like the dwarfs

>>536218313
*uses Mortis Engine effects*

>>536219224
No it won't

>>536219543
i lied a little bit desu, i made a change to that mod myself, instead of only having 1 cast of every damage spell, i made it so that the low tier spells are uncapped, so i can still spam spirit leech or searing doom, but i cant spam purple sun or final transmutation, the big nuke spells yknow.

>what's the point if the enemy can't use them either

think back to the last time that the AI got a really good burning head, or a really good flames of azgorh, you probably cant

shut up bitch

Here's the 40k campaign:
>3 planets
>Each is a "homeworld" for a race, eldar start on their craft world that functions like a small worlds with multiple settlements and CAN be invaded.

>IG is the first DLC and it's FLC like Brets.

>>3 planets

December

Is the 3rd faction confirmed to be HE? I haven't really keept up with the news (or the thread). Also why the fuck is it taking them so long to release the DLC?

>>536221460
Slaanesh/Norsca/High Elves
with Slaanesh FLC

>>536220568
IG being FLC, I could see this happening, since it's one of those factions that will receive a ton of DLC later on, like Empire.

>>536221460
Yes, they confirmed it in a single sentence of the post about delaying the DLC

>>536221460
Most of CA is working on the new games and expansion for WH3 for a good presentation in December. It'll normalize next year.

Pretty sure he is like 15..

>>536225759
why should they need special equipment?

>>536226162
....because a defensive wall built in 6,000,000,000,000 BC by the guys that enslaved the god creators of the galaxy should be immune to the physically weakest races fists.

>>536226414
They really overcooked Necrons.
40k has always had a problem reconciling lore and actual gameplay but Crons are fucking ridiculous.

umm troybros, I chose to support troy, the game said they would ally with me...
is it game over? this entire area is basically just troy's stomping grounds.

>>536221573
>>536221769
>>536222103
>>536221885
Alrigh, I was kind of expecting it to be DE, since this is going to be the Slaanesh DLC and the whole "Tides of torment" fits the druchii quite well. Though I guess the HE need another DLC more than the DE. The line up is nice, Im just a bit disapointed by the fact that the chances of another druchii DLC are now slim to none.

>>536227928
forgot image whoops

>>536221460
CA is also trying to push one lord dlc pack, its purpose is to give consoomers to buy something before the next big dlc is out. For example, the next dlc after ToT will be a Neferata faction mini-pack. Well, its not confirmed but more likely. I don't know how are they planning to pull this off, since they have issues with "sticking to the schedule" stuff but here we are.
>>536228026
This Mini-dlc format is pretty much tailored for Dark Elves, just some guy, new mechanics and a few units.

I know you want it but I'm having issues imagining a total war for 40k. Like how would SM work when they're 1000 by the codex? Units of 5? Against units of 60 necrons?
Also why would anyone compete against a new dawn of war game?

>>536230498
Who gives a fuck about codex

>>536230498
>Like how would SM work when they're 1000 by the codex
>He doesn't know

>>536230545
>>536230637
I know every chapter only pretends to read the codex, but while not being exactly 1000, they're not some every day dude walking around to justify having units of 60 space marines

>>536225759
I don't think sieges in 40k will be anywhere like medieval/fantasy sieges.

>>536230791
Oh! 9th edition put the 1000 limit back into the lore how fucking embarrassing.

>>536230791
>units of 60
Why would it be 60? Ogres aren't like that all in fantasy already.

>>536230829
Why not

>>536230498
>I'm having issues imagining a total war for 40k.
Am I the only one who doesn't have a stunted creativity in here? I can not only imagine it working but also in many possible different ways of doing it.
Are people just mostly retarded?

>>536230498
First, the 1000 limit is retarded lore and the chad move would be to ignore it.
Second, what if Space Marines and IG share a race, but you have to recruit Space Marines from a special settlement and you can only have one army of them?

>>536230498
literally who gives a shit?
in dawn of war you play an isolated company of space marines in a world slowly being destroyed by orks and chaos and you go through hundreds of space marines

>>536232496
>what if Space Marines and IG share a race
Will never happen, it would be a fucking gigantic race it's not feasible to put every unit from both codexes and more into one race.
Every race with their onw full codex will get their onw race, it's that simple.

>>536230498
> Units of 5? Against units of 60 necrons?

It's ignored in every book, vidya and tabletop game. I don't know why they haven't retconned this away yet, it's the one thing which should have been retconned ages ago, because it simply doesn't work as proved by any stimulationist take on the setting and is of no use in books either

>>536235457
NTA, WH3 already has in battle recruitment - it's called survival battles, elements of which can be reworked and restructured.

melty

>>536236368
They make whole fucking games from zero, making new mechanics is nothing new.
It helps that just like fantasy, 40k has a bunch of rules that can just be translated into the game and gives a nice north to follow.

>>536236886
>They won't be able to do it!
I think this one carries weight.

These are the devs who haven't been able to fix a bugged door for TEN YEARS, in case you forgot.

As we speak, CA is creating an entirely new engine capable of supporting trench construction, fortification building, squad-based orders, while removing unit cards and formations, as the game will focus more on in-battle entity construction than pre-recruited units.
I know this for I have seen it.

>DoW4 doesn't even have a cover system
And people say 40k wouldn't work on TW, they have a cover system at least that can be expanded.
Here's how I see it:
>They'll expand the mechanic of creating a path for units just like they did for Chaos, but now expanded for every faction
>Battles can have cover or not, with the option to build your own
>Bigger maps for transport use and smaller maps for more skirmish like and melee engagements.
>More army abilities, being almost a necessity for every battle.
>Bullets have penetration tiers for armor and vehicles can have individual weapons disabled and tracks destroyed.
>Lethality from Pharaoh is also a thing here.

>>536237725
They are able to, they just don't want to.
They also said the same shit about a bunch of other stuff until they thought it would be work favorably financially for them.

>>536237952
>>536238158
none of that will happen and it'll just be a lazy reskin of warhammer 3 with even more line-of-sight issues

>Imagine if humanity was just one race in fantasy, stupid right?
Yes and?

>>536238535
A year and a half, maybe 2 years.

Total War 40k just isn't happening.
They decided to go with DoW 4 instead.

>>536238665
Retard, that's why the empire being a single race is stupid.

>>536238535
Cmon now, both are in loose formation and in cover (terrain patch like in DoW1 or trees in Warhammer). I-its gonna be good, t-trust me!!!

>>536238787
When the fuck is Mechanicus II coming out!?

Isn't the point of 40k that everything is retarded? Why would the game near to feature post industrial tactics?

>>536238826
DoW4 will flop hard because the fans just can't accept anything beyond DoW1 with better graphics. That franchise is cursed.

>>536238972
>that's why the empire being a single race is stupid.
It's a good thing nobody suggested that, stop calling people retard when you are schizophrenic.

No one would buy broken unbalanced mess like Total War Warhammer. It simply cant happen, just like Total War 40K cant. The engine or in-game balance simply does not support it.

You literally made something up, I didn't say?
I agree that it would be stupid to merge all of the 10+ factions in the Imperium that have gotten a codex into one race. I don't think we need a Knights race for example though.

Hybrid units are unironically my favorite part of Total Warhammer, I fucking love playing and fighting Kislev. The fact half the units in 40k entirely are hybrid units has my mouth watering for it.

>>536241078
My only hope for 40k is that we can customize units according to their datasheet wargear.
Would make playing a single race extremely fun

Guerrilla tactics, hit and run, and kitting are all inherently annoying playstyles in every game. It's why Horsefuckers are a cancer to fight in Total War and Mount and Blade.
Craftworlders are in Total War: Warhammer comparison essentially mostly Wood Elves down to Ents (Necromantic Wraith constructs) + Skaven Weapon Teams (Aspect Warriors) and Tzeentch magic (because they and not Tzeentch are the best casters in setting)

They actually are. It annoys me there are so few of them and only against Daemons and that modders don't make more of them. You can play them in PvE coop and they are stupid fun there. If they weren't a part of a worthless Realms of Chaos campaign and just a separate, dedicated PvE mode they would be fantastic even

>>536243250
As long as we got eldar waifu, I don't really mind TW: 40K.

First time seing this loading screen quote, is it new ?

Out of curiosity, lets pit Knights of the Realm and Questing Knights against mid-tier large unit like Reiksguard:
>Knights of the realm:
43% chance to hit for 15 damage (accounting for AL, AP and enemy armor), or ~6 damage per swing
>Questing Knights:
41% chance to hit for 37 damage (accounting for AP and armor), or ~15 damage per swing
Even against your average Large target, Questing Knight deals massive 2.5x more damage than KotR. Even if enemy target is unarmored KotR doesnt break ahead, he is barely even. However KotR is far far worse against anything with 20+ armor (ie everything but zombies) or infantry-sized. Why would I ever recruit Knights of the Realm if I have access to Questing Knights? Their Anti-Large seems like a huge noob trap.

>>536244621
Nope, I've seen it way back. It was in already at WH3 launch or even way back in WH2.

>>536241739
And people insist in telling me they can't make a system like that

>>536245330
Dunno how you're getting those numbers, KotR should have 4% more hit chance and 22 ap vs large
Questing knights still win on damage but lower cost, extra armour, shields and more charge mean KotR are still relevant

>>536233528
only retarded spacebattlefags care about "simulationist takes"
40k is about a vibe, not realism

>>536247548
...and 1000 Space marines doesn't fit that vibe

>>536247713
1000 space marines has been the vibe since 1987, there is no other vibe. the only thing that doesn't fit are retarded fans who want to change the setting because muh realism muh sense

>>536247974
One time I read a book where a Space Marine Chapter surrounded a mega city during a siege. 1000 space marines surrounded a city.

Can they teleport? What if I walked past them
>>536248195

Meant Hive city

thought this would be way more annoying than it was. i probably could've just sped it up and not touched any units and still won

>>536248425
>What if I walked past them
they'd shoot you

Stop thinking about numbers in 40k, sci-fi authors in general are just bad with numbers.

>>536247974
It doesn't fit any vibe because it directly contradicts how Marines are consistently portrayed in every medium

OLD TW= SOVL

>>536248675
I wouldn't I (and everyone who has created for 40k) ignore the retarded 1000 limit, but somebody in the thread said that they shouldn't space marines in TW:W40k because of the 1000 limit.

>>536246670
I used values in Honga. Not on my computer to check in-game values. Apologies for any incorrect stats. However the point still stands: the extremely subpar AP ratio makes KotR rather underwhelming against their primary targets (large, ie typically at least 50 armor but most heavy cavalry scoring 100+). In my opinion the cost difference is negligible compared to the loss in damage.

Don't worry, lords aren't RPG characters anymore. They're way more "mortal" and their gear increases their survivability.
They're more of a passive morale and other boosts generator and have specific skills, but no longer have skill trees that can make them a god.
40k is trying to be more tactical (I know) it's closer to historical games in terms of how you have to manage your units and care for them.

I'm going broke because I have to spread myself out so thin on literally every front. What do I do?

No, grimgor isn't hard early game, but he is hard in end-game

>>536255931

>>536207052
The attacking army deploys first, which means the AI while defending will deploy their army in a formation to (try and) counter yours. If you are the defender then you can see the AI deployment zone as long as you have line of sight.
This is why siege cheese exists where you hide most of your army in a forest and have one unit lure the entire enemy force to one side.

This is how I normally play as any faction. Every single turn I have to conquer something else I consider turn wasted. Income always in the red, treasury always spent on building and recruiting only leaving just enough money to not suffer bankruptcy debuffs for this turn and I live off sacking and selling cities. Or joining distant wars for money or siging any pacts if need be. If I get into a situation where I can't get enough money for this turn I beg my frens for gibs and they just give me money

>>536274349
Yes and I hope so.

Do knocked down enemies get invulnerability frames or that does only happen with the bearded manlets because of how fucking small they are?

It took me 16 regiments of leadbelchers hitting him from all sides to kill a a single ancestor ghost hero after the entire battle already was over, I legit was at max speed surrounding him and hitting him from all sides for like 5 minutes, and it felt every time I knocked him down he was just taking zero damage for the next 10 seconds, it was like one unit of leadbelchers was hitting him once, barely doing any damage, knocking him down and then taking zero damage, rinse and repeat.

>>536274168
That's not even the biggest delay blackpill

>>536274845
>ancestor
They have very high phys resist. You'll want magical attacks.

>>536274969
Bad example from my part, happens the same with every other manlet hero. The only reason he was the last one standing is because he was part of a reinforcement and unbreakable, but every other manlet hero seems to legit fall down to the ground and take a small nap there while taking zero damage.

Which faction is the worst autoresolver?

>>536274845
>Do knocked down enemies get invulnerability frames
Yes they do. That's why trying to kill running units with high mass stuff is so shitty.

>>536274845
>Do knocked down enemies get invulnerability frames
Yes, that's why juiced rat wolfs are the best cavalry in the game, they crash into a unit, make them route and then murder all of them, all in less than 30sec.

>>536275275
Probably Slaanesh. Vampire Counts also kind of suck in autoresolve.

>>536275310
okay that makes a lot of sense now, also had that experience while trying to kill routed enemies with high mass cavalry

>>536275275
Assuming AI is said faction (player can easily game any faction to be much stronger in AR, yes this includes Slaanesh), then Daemons in general (Slaanesh overall weakest), WElves (assuming not end-game with strong units), Coast and to a lesser degree Counts (again assuming not end-game army). For the player, it's the wrong question, as it's more a matter of who you fight and how you play/build.

>>536268503
Canon!

>>536275275
Slaanesh daemon armies. The AI abhors them. Other daemons are also hated, but somewhat less so. AR doesn't seem to care much about resistances which daemons get in spades, but loves armour which they don't have. Besides daemons AR also doesn't like Vamp Coast, Vamp Counts and Tomb Kangs.

>>536275664
>>536276414
slaanesh can just spam chaos warriors THO

What's the difference between Warriors of Chaos, Demons of Chaos and the 4 different Chaos god factions? Who can confederate whom?

>>536276856
Be'lakor and Archaon can confederate all Warriors of Chaos lords.
The Monogods can confederate everyone within their own Monogod faction.

>>536276856
Warriors of Chaos have full mortal roster with limited Daemon recruitment.
Valkia, Festus, Azazel and Vilitch have more limited rosters focusing more on one of the four chaos gods(Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch respectively).
Daemons of Chaos have full Daemon roster with no mortal recruitment.
Mono gods have unique mechanics and full god-specific daemon rosters.
Only Archaon and Be'lakor can confederate other Warriors of Chaos.
Daemons can't confederate any major faction as there's only one major Daemons of Chaos faction.
Mono-gods can only confederate factions of the same monogod.

>>536285613
>lmao this nigga playing on small unit sizes
Small potato PC please understand

>>536287195
nta but I'm genuinely curious how much enjoyment you get from that
unlike most graphics settings, lowering the unit size also lowers the fun for most players

being able to recruit an ox cart every 5 turns from turn 1 seems a little broken I'm all about it

>>536287950
As someone who also used to play on a potato, sometimes people just like a game enough to play it on whatever hardware they have.

Do you guys always go for the full 20 stack?

>>536285938
Generally Resource > Income > T3 cap basic military > Control > Whatever
If it's my starting province I usually prioritize growth and demolish them later and value military recruitment over income. But it depends quite a bit on the race/faction you are playing.

>>536288664
>control that low
how do you deal with non stop rebellions?

>>536288480
Sometimes I go for a cheeky 19 and hope I get that super low chance to steal artillery.

>>536288369
I didn't start playing total war until after I got a decent computer, but I played killing floor at < 30 fps so I understand I guess

>>536288784
In early provinces I usually have an army recruiting there to either deal with it or give the "military presence" control benefit and/or use the relevant control commandment.
Later provinces I typically don't care either way and deal with it if I have to.
Again, very dependent on your race/faction. A lot of races don't have to worry at all about control.

So... is TCALUK going to cancel 40k Total War now that DoW 4 has been announced, despite it being handled by a no-name Eastern European dev and looking really bland in the gameplay department?

>>536288797
I'm genuinely a low-functioning retard that does things over and over and over again, and it's no exaggeration to say that I played as Franz in WH2 probably 300 times, and each time doing the initial quest battle by trying to capture as many of the artillery crews as possible. So out of those 300 times I think I only got the mortar once. It's such a low chance that I'm not sure it isn't a bug desu

>>536289178
Yeah it's so low it barely qualifies as a mechanic, but it's really cool when it happens. Fun to try for if you don't expect it to happen. What's one unit anyways?

>>536288820
Yeah. I'll admit that once I got my new set up, being able to go up to ultra absolutely increased the enjoyment. On the potato running on large with full stacks would turn every battle into complete slideshows but it was tolerable enough on small.

kino

>>536285938
Kinda depends on the race, but I always take defence building, economy if there aren't higher priorities, resource if it has one, and a hero cap building if there's no resource and no port. Control if I don't have the province capital, though that's almost never the case since I usually sell off settlements if I don't have the full province and the faction who has the rest of it is one I don't want to mess with.

love me that epirote drip

Let's say I'm terrible in every way at IE, what faction is recommended?
So far the only one that does seem braindead is Beastmen since their map gimmick isn't hard to use and in battle you just run in and hope for the best and use dogs to chase anything that runs away

I'd ideally like to learn how to play Vamp Counts, specifically Kemmler since I like the idea of summoning Krell

>>536292283
Just play and suck, you'll learn things every campaign and who cares?
Beastmemes are a good option if you're sick of managing provinces and just want to fight battles which it doesn't seem like you are. If you want to get good at Cunts just spam Cunts.

>>536292283
Vamps can be braindead, you just tardblob with your skellies and zombies and buff them while also dropping summons on the enemy ranged units. You can also tardblob with Nurgle and win by stacking 20 passive buffs on your units and 20 passive debuffs on your enemies

>>536292283
Beastmen and other horde-like factions are good if the big map is an issue for you, because like you said they just roam around and kill things
If there is a faction that speaks to you though, you should play that instead
luckily, Vampire Counts are really easy, just not very intuitive since most of their mechanics function like cheese
Ghorst starts in a shit location but he has immortal zombies - slow and tedious but unloseable
Kemmler doesn't do much for his faction but his army is very strong, and he starts out in a mountain pass that usually gets pretty contentious later, but safeish start if you push west
Vlad and Isabella have a strong "home base", and it's a 50/50 if your nearby enemies will be wiped out or strength rank 1 so kind of a coin toss in terms of difficulty
Mannfred is the most risk/reward vampire count, since his faction gets strong once you collect all the books and mannfredd himself is no joke, but you have to deal with fucking skarbrand and some other tough enemies in the badlands

>>536292141
I don't know why you would even charge into that

What are our thoughts on this?

What's the point of Grudge-raker Thunderers?

>>536294932

it is but a taste of the cbt that would occur if the ai was actually smart

because it's a soulless tolkien rip-off and they use bows in that

Anon are you going with Liggers, Kangs or "Alberic from the whorehouse" for your first 6.3 campaign?

I read that Daniel was just someone's idea, might've been Sammy B. I think this would be awesome but customizing units and an army painter would be so close to pseudo-TT on vidya there's no way GW would allow it.

>>536303895
Probably going with Lizardmen since I havent gone for the trophy yet

Did anyone play Dead Island 2? I went back to play 1 but I quit after leaving the first area, game felt like it peaked in the resort area sadly

>>536305413
Kinda forgot 2 existed but yeah the resort area is more memorable.

>>536305413
>>536306561
the city was the most memorable to me, I still remember the quarantine zone

>>536306786
The quarantine zones were good for giving you an "oh shit" moment after getting comfortable.

>>536303895
Haven't decided which order but I'll have a go at all 3

>>536306935
Only time I felt like the game got "oh shit" were those fucked up bone claw zombies that just did shit tons of damage in like the 3rd or 4th area

What's the best cavalry unit when it comes to fighting other cavalry?

>>536310256
pistoliers

>>536310256
probably sky striders or fireborn

>>536303895
Not sure yet, Clio is most likely going to play Tomb Kings so I'm leaning towards Lizardmen

The download of Total War:Warhammer III v6.0.1 finished about 30 hours ago. I finally got it to launch after many hours of troubleshooting.
What advice would you give to a new player anons... is Nurgle an acceptable race to start with?

>>536313626
No

>>536313669
oh ):

>>536313626
Yea

>>536313843
Eh...

>>536313997
Does tour game version have all the dlcs? If so, it's an easy yes as long as you aware of the fact that Nurgle has a wierd recruitment system that is strong but hard to work with
if you don't have the dlcs, then he can still be good but all 4 chaos god rosters are tiny without dlc

>>536314475
Oh! I looked to Nurgle because I heard the other factions I wanted to play had weird recruitment (Warriors of Chaos, Beastmen) or were gimmick reliant (Khorne, Tzeentch) or had only only one faction that wasn't easy (Slaanesh, The Lost God) do I have to play as the good guys to get a normal army?
>Does tour game version have all the dlcs?
Yes.
