Thrones suffered the same fate of every too narrow scoped focus. Charles in Charge and ToB shoulda been combined for some 800-1066 early medieval game.

I just notice how I fucking love to play evil factions in Autismohammer. They are all actually fun and have a themes and not like just a "ugly evil demons who have a scary faces and want to kill". Even Khorne is a bunch of turboretards on steroids and not just a red angry demons. They are like a drunk morons. I waited so many years for the game which would actually represent Demon factions properly and not just mish-mash a few demons togethwer like a DoW. So give me more Slaanesh snake-horse-thingies

>>536515549
You wouldn't really have sex with a vampire, would you?
They're horrible monsters.

Do you think there is a chance that CA makes heroes and lords attachable to units like in DoW1/4? It is a big thing in tabletop, there are a lot of characters both generic and named that buff units while attached to them.

>>536518347

>>536518347
Isn't that the starting enemy? Why do they have shades?

>>536518709
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVnWxY_pPU0

>>536518461
I think they might just do skill tree buffs again for 40K.
I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I'd like for them to do a 3 Kingdoms style army system for characters leading certain unit types.

>>536518702
i built up for two turns before attacking them I guess

how did this threat turn into tabletop refugee center for 40kek fans?

>>536520024

You're right, it's unpopular.

They are just sharing they thoughts and secrets

Well, that's a pattern.

>>536513343 (OP)
How come TWWH3 is the best game in the franchise? Nothing else even comes close to the amount of variety it has. Don't know how people who played the previous titles enjoyed using the samey factions with samey units all the time.

>>536521030
all that variety and yet half the features from the previous games disappeared

My favorite Eceleb used to be an amnesia youtuber but he became popular when he reviewed Starwars:The Last Jedi. Is Starwars:The Last Jedi and amnesia product?

>>536521030
It's superficial variety. The game is too easy. The game lacks depth.

>>536521030
>one of the lowest rated games in the seires
>"the best"

>>536521030
For a on paper 180 dollar game (cause you're sure as shit not playing realms campaign) I personally thinks its just barely acceptable

How are you supposed to do this as Valkia? I've recruited a unit of Skullreapers in two different armies via warband recruitment and have won multiple battles with said armies and this hasn't progressed at all. The last battle I checked the armies and the Skullreapers did have kills. I've done this quest no problem with Khorne (non-WoC) before no problem.

>>536521283
McDonalds is more popular than your local burger joint is McDonalds better?

>>536521030
When second game come Vampirated, DE and Dinos change a lot if you compare to the first game. Especially in MP where it shakes meta a lot with a flying creatures and monsters. First game was pretty stale

What's the point of being able to change enemy and allied colors if the banners stay the same? I just can't tell what is happening anymore what if I was actually color blind and needed that setting?

>Dance of Despair
The fuck is this garbage cataclysm spell?

>>536521447
Game might be bugged? I played a Valkia campaign shortly after 6.2 and had no issues getting skarr. I was using wrathmongers though if I remember right

why dont you come over here and stop me big boy~

took three tries but i managed somehow, lost my mournghouls and syreens though rip

>>536522415
At that point why not just play multiplayer?

Which Total War game would you recommend for a newbie? Outside Warhammer, it's just not for me

>>536524326
Rome 2

>>536521447
Samefag here. Found something bizarre. I had two units of Skullreapers in one army, recruited the RoR of Wrathmongers, AR'd a weak settlement, the Wrathmongers got 95 kills and a little less on the two Skullreapers, yet now the progress is at this. I thought that perhaps only Wrathmongers would work, but somehow BOTH work only when Wrathmongers (at least RoR) are present. What a goofy game sometimes.

WEGH

Also doesn't progress if it's a reinforcing army, even if said units got kills.

I can't find it, which wood elf building gives the mandatory +1 to recruitment slots?

BRRRRRAAAAAAAAP

I don't mind total war, but I feel like covering a 40k thread with total war talk is a bit much. Can we go back to talking about the topic of the thread, Warhammer 40k?

I'm trans btw

Half the legendary lords in 40k are going to be Primarchs

>>536521143
No one misses those, the variety in units more than makes up for it.
Pharaoh has a bunch of old shit and no one cares, because setting > mechanics

another rough fight but man bp is fun
shadow warriors are retarded t hough for real. their range is insane

This, why the fuck are you posting total war in the 40k general?

>>536530197
This is a 40k general albeit.

Going to play Knights of Caledor in Warhmmer 2.
Haven't played them for over 3 years.
The last time I played Knights of Caledor I was pretty new to Warhammer and was shit at the game and didn't know what I was doing and the campaign went on for fucking ages in a back and forth slog between me and Grimgor's 'Ardboyz.

I was going to try and head west as early as I can and stomp Grimgor as quick as possible. Hopefully I can either eradicate his faction or at the very least stop them from quickly ballooning and completely dominating the badland/World's Edge Mountains, which is what happened the last time.
From there push east again and deal with Clan Eshin and Hag Graef.
Any advice?

>>536530810
>Warhammer 2
Why?

>>536530810
AI gres are much, much stronger now so you don't need to worry about grimgor as much, and you can even ally Greasus if you try to for a secure border.
The bigger threat imo is all the fucking skaven and possibly more greenskins coming in from the mountains to the west, and Chaos Dwarfs if you let them get strong.

>>536521030
the gameplay is braindead but flashy for retards

>>536531081
Have you seen the fucking map in WH3 outside of the Old World?

>>536531081
I don't have Warhammer 3 yet.
It's only last year that I even played as every faction in the game.
Recently I've been revisting the factions that I have played before but fucked up their campaigns.

>WH2 king
Based. I played some WH1 this year too. Did a large Archaon run.

>>536526598
yes since half the thread is already about shit that does not exist

>>536515887
doodled these chorfies not too long ago

>>536532709
makes me wonder how they see out of their helmets

I'll play Medieval, Renaissance, Emp2 and 40k.
You can't stop me.

>>536528787
Don't think I've seen Cylostra much. What's she like in battle?

I wish there was a sword and shield variant for demigryphs knights, or at least shield for the halberd ones and for them to be normal cavalry instead of shock cavalry, cycle charging looks stupid.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3508650389
Cheatbros I kneel.

>>536526598
depends on how good or shit it is

>le variety bro xd
if you play a certain race, you are playing a campaign using the exact same units all the time.
Who cares if the races are le different if I'm locked to the few units my race has? All my battles will look the same. Also the race campaign mechanics suck ass in this game

>>536536562
>Who cares if the races are le different if I'm locked to the few units my race has?
you should play Pharaoh

This will sound gay af but I was playing with low res and the Ogre heroes on the world map looked like they had their fat asses out all the time while running around, especially the butchers, I thought it was funny af and now I wish they really did.

>>536534864
>I wish there was... a completed different unit

>>536536763
Yeah? Why would I wish for a unit I already have? That'd be stupid.

time for stinky hugs
>>536534505
lore of the deeps is very very good imo, i think its my favorite lore of magic. cylostra herself seems pretty strong but I'm not sure how strong since she's still low level. she's really good at tying up enemy frontlines and spamming tidecall on them and summoning her bretonian ghost knights on the backline.

brapgods...

>>536538761
>A unit has been wiped out!
how will you ever recover

>>536526580
Research and lord blue line skills give increased global recruitment. Their t1 outpost buildings give -1 global duration and -50% cost. They don't have or need increased local recruitment.

>If you never played Autismohammer total war try Tzarina, she is pretty easy and comfy
....b-but the jewtube man...

Why am I only allowed to bring 40 units into the battle? I paid for 4 armies, I brought 4 armies I should get to use 4 armies. I summoned some more so clearly it's fine to have more than 80 units in the same battle.

>my lord fucking dies in the battle
>is fine after the battle
huh

>>536541261
Sometimes I think about playing total war but shit like this is why I'd rather watch it on youtube instead while playing a different game myself

>>536520024
They're so bad.

I'd rather have the anti-squire ratfag back than deal with 40k nigggers

>>536541261
I hope future total war games do what Pharaoh does and stack the unit cards instead of compressing them
in warhammer having 21+ units just looks bad and is hard to manage when you're just looking at a wall of colors

Are dwarf flying units good? I know the flamethrower version is good at picking off low armor units early in the game. What about the other 2 versions?

>>536545397

As much as people ride leakers' dicks, they only know what they are told by actual people inside.

>sell all my land
>confed right after
this is dumb

>>536546246
traditional rts games are not competing with total war lmao

>>536546057
That's not what he asked though?
The Bible predicts that Babylon would fall, have the male population wiped out, the females taken as spoils and that Babylon would lie uninhabited forever after. It also predicts that a man named Jesus Christ will come back to life for a second time before all of his disciples are dead.
These things don't have anything to do with each-other, other than the fact that the same source predicted they would happen.
He is asking about the reliability of the prophets that claim TW:W40k is coming. If their prophecies about DoW4 were true or false. If a prophet repeatedly makes false predictions their prophecies are worthless.

>>536547275
Holy (!) schizo.

gyrobomber deletes armies if you are a micro god, but the flipside is it needs micro to really do anything
the regular ones is good at harassing cavalry and other similar units that your artillery has a harder time with
the trollhammer torpedo one deletes high tier units

>>536547013
DoW4 in the header? Not sure what you're talking about, that'd be pretty off-topic.

>>536515549
Here, just for you

>>536547042
doesn't really follow that the company that can't keep any of its model releases from leaking months in advance would be able to keep everyone quiet about a much bigger scale project like a full game release. takes like 5 years minimum to make these things in the current industry. there's been more chatter about CA making a star wars game than 40k in the past year

This shitshow's gonna be fun, Kislev has some decent armies too.

>>536548328
because it's already ""done"", so they have nothing to leak at this point
they are just waiting for a relevant 10e lore drop to release the game

there would be qa leaks in that case, that's where a ton of tabletop stuff comes from. the whole upcoming line for the old world was leaked by a guy earlier this year who did playtesting for GW (who were unable to plug the leak and ended up having to fire the whole team). which is why I don't believe they could keep tw: 40k secret for so long.

>>536546246
>campaign not working the same way

I'm dooming so hard the thing I'm looking forward to most is other people's disappointment when they realize how gay and stupid nu 40k is compared to their perception based on dawn of war and memes from 15 years ago.

Hard to imagine it started with a simple rescale update and got out of hand.

Sell me on Chaos Dwarfs. I like elite (non-monster) infantry that can hold its own while ranged units / cav fuck shit up around flanks. Are they a good choice for this playstyle?

>>536554337
in the late more or less, not to mention blunderbussies are one of the best flanking ranged units in the game, but they have a beastmen-style unit capacity, but it takes longer to build up the resource for it since you produce it in factories rather than winning battles so your early game will mainly be slave meat shields while a handful of good units do all the killing

>>536554337
that's how the Chorfs play, yes.

>>536554337

>>536555695
Maybe if you're playing as an inferior legendary lord, sure.

>>536555692
It's only Chaosfags that complain about Primaris since CSMs get absolutely BODIED by them

>>536555692
Oldmarine fans should just be embarrassed. CHADmaris are better in every fucking way, why pick a weak horse?

He still takes far longer than Chorf.

>>536528787
Oh I want to play her. As I remember she can turn all her army into ghosts. Yes Alith Anal is a pain, I remember he ended my Hellebron run!

>>536557063
not really, if you aren't getting enough dread as beastmen you just fight more battles, whereas with chaos dwarfs you have to either build more buildings or send caravans
plus, the additional things to spend armaments on are much more taxing than the additional things to spend dread on if you choose to use them

>>536541186
I played her a few times. Maybe she can be hard if you build army strange or if you cant play defensive (protect the Capital and borders when you need). Your very first troops (peasant(?) dudes) is a fucking strong people around the Empire halberd but at tier one. You can get a very good tanky monster early (frost wyrm) too and add them to the second army. Maybe should be hard on Legendary but Legendary is bullshit for every faction

>>536557527
Dread is best spent on confederations, then herdstone levels, then unit/hero caps. It does too much to be comparable to armaments.

>>536555692
Their overwhelming lameness

The good thing about 40K is that the most insufferable fags wont be the Drukhari/Eldar like how the Asur/Druchii have been the most insufferable faggots since WH2 was first revealed. Luckily for them, The Tau exists, and it doesnt matter if they get in or not, they will probably shit this place up harder than the cheatschizo already does

>>536558237
>Asur/Druchii have been the most insufferable faggots since WH2 was first revealed

>>536558237

how would a 40k game even be fun on a tactical level? wouldn't shit just die way too fast to be playable? it would be worse than release Rome2 and it would all be ranged.

Holy R*ddit...

>>536558097
I guess it depends on what you value, I don't care about confederations or items so much as the upgrades and capacity for beastmen, and you go through those pretty quickly unless you're running around with 19 gorebull armies.

>>536559037
Confeds are best to rush because if the LL is still alive it's a free +1 army cap on top of a new map area, and depending on who you play 2-3 of them will be alive for only like 30 turns at best.
With Beastmemes you get a lot more freedom to do whatever you want because of the campaign structure so unlike other races if it feels good you can just do it. If you wanna do other stuff do you bro.

>>536558868

>free +1 army cap on top of a new map area, and depending on who you play 2-3 of them will be alive for only like 30 turns at best.
Didn't know about that, just goes to show how long I wait. In all my beastmen campaigns it has just been a LL added to the recruitment pool

>>536559745
Beastmeme AI is so bad usually they AFK in their initial herdstones dying to attrition, but if you rush it you can get Taurox or Morghur pretty reliably. I think Khazrak usually dies by that point.
Malagor usually lasts longer so I typically wait on him, but as long they're alive you control the whole army and it really speeds up your campaign.

Bull centaurs are tank cavalry. They have really good HP and can pretty much tie up the flank battles if nobody else (archers, heroes) get involved until you decide the rest of the battle. Chorfs for me are just the 'put a fork in it, it's done' faction. No other faction is going to appeal to me as well because they have the magics I like (Except no shadow), they have a fun aesthetic, their diplomacy does not 100% lock you into a certain way but does incline you, they have a more detailed campaign map experience, they require big brain strategery with gun lines and artillery but you also have the means to be more proactive (not just sit and wait like Dawi before the thoondabarge or vampirates).

All I really needed was a replenishment hero and shadow magic and there's nothing else I'd need.

>>536563370
worst unit in the game by far, and this isn't an exaggeration even skavenslaves and peasants can have a use

There are 3 campaigns in Warhammer 3:

The Empire

Isn't it just a flying cannon the same way the sky junk is a flying rocket battery?

>>536564163
Empire, Kislev, and Belegar.

>>536564291
what cannon?
it's literally just 4 crane gunners and only two of them are pointed at the enemy, it's worse than useless

>>536564163
No one plays anything but the Empire though

>>536564491
No idea I don't play Cathay. I was just guessing.

>>536564140
it's prety good at its niche (safely chipping away at elite units engaged with your infantry)
but the problem is that cathay has many units which do that and more, plus it is very vulnerable to missiles
if it just had more speed it would be much better, because then you would be able to skirmish with them instead of just parking above the enemy lines

>>536564493
I literally only play Vampire Counts.

>>536564163
Everything Else are the fun ones.

>>536564716
>look at it with a missile unit

>look at it with a flying unit

Sky Junks at least get an interesting angle for a rocket battery and can prove genuinely effective as a result as long as you have longmaballs flying about and enough missile spam to bring down any big flying SEMS that will just fly through a longma formation

>>536566875
Somehow the tutorial has a better story than the actual story mode in this game.

>>536579249
I mean the dragons are supposed to be ancient and otherworldly. I guess making them look like eldar is fitting.

>>536576454
those kinds of stories aren't exclusive to the steppes
Eleanor of Aquitaine famously groomed Henry II of England while he was still a teenager, it started when he was about 15 and when they married he was 19 while she was almost 30 and a mother of two

There are like 5 Legendary Lords that should to be added

>Egrimm van Horstmann

Upgrade Boris Todbringer and the Red Duke to playable LL status. And we're pretty much done. We don't need Nagash or Glottkin.

So that's like 2 DLCs max. Possibly even 1 big DLC and some small one with just the LL like they said they could do.

they could make so many good changes without any dev time or new assets just with a couple of tweaks in a text file but instead they waste half their dev time animating a toad dragon or some shit

the one leak that predicted that the tides of torment races would be norsca, traanesh, and high elfs and said the next dlc would be end times. the other leak said that the third tides lord was supposed to be neferata and they pivoted to the sea cuck last minute and the next dlc was supposed to be dogs of war and then end times after that. which one was the real leak?

>>536588626
Neither

>>536588626

Been months since I played this game and noticed that cathay now has grenadiers. They're really fun and a nice gap closer in the faction's roster imo. Also I think ironhail gunners have been buffed. They deal decent damage now and don't immediately fold the moment they come into contact into melee. Still gonna need more practice since I've gotten rusty.

>>536595186
i dont know how anyone could have trouble with any of the chorfs

>>536595645
Theyre really easy, I think the only part that sucked was Belegar declared war on me after confederating Zhufbar, had to basically divert 1 of my armies in that direction to keep him at bay while I stopped Grimgors rampage, Grimgors at least easy mode to take out even though he conquered all the way from his starting position down to Kugath. Only downside is this campaign doesnt give much time for you to re-arrange your armies, even with global recruitment timer reductions, I didnt get to use Bull Centaurs or other versions of the Dreadquake Mortars and barely got to use Infernal Ironsworn and Kdaai Destroyers. Feel like Astragaoth or Zhatan would be better for a chill campaign like that because Drazhoaths campaign is basically never stop fighting

I say play Kislev because Nurgle recruitment is one of the dumbest systems in the game and the Goa'uld dude is just braindead easy even on legendary.
Kislev is actually chill below Very Hard, if you struggle just spam Streltsi and put them in checkboard, you might add Ice Guard to the mix but it's optional, remember that hero effects stack so with just 2 ice witches in army you can have 70MA Ice Guards.

All good so far.
Karak Azul didn't like me trespassing on their lands but liked me fighting Grimgor. I did wonder whether I should have marched my army past Crookback Mountain to get to Black Crag instead, to save from pissing off Karak Azul too much.
By taking Black Crag I met Karaz-a-Karak and Barak Varr, as well as the Bloody Handz. Those Dwarfs also like(d) me for fighting and beating Grimgor.

You wrong on both assumptions, first of all Kholek is one of the strongest LL in the game and as any other faction he would destroy you this early on, the second is about you loses you could delete most of your army and only keep heroes, chaos warriors and rot knights and you would still win this by simply move forward.
Also look at your lord's passive skill, the one that trigger when his hp drop below certain threshold, that's the reason his campaign is easy, not only you have insanely strong Chaos Warriors and Rot Knights but also you can send your lord to duel any lord no matter how strong and he will win by default.

No idea why you insist on using Stargate terms for Warhammer when they are named factions, since not everyone is familiar with 30-years-old media, but I digress. You arent helping anyone but the absolutely retarded (who wont take your advice anyways due to being retards). You are however feeding the bad-faith shitposters by giving them attention (you)s. I apologize if I come across as hostile: I dont mean to offend, I simply try to voice the concern that despite good intentions you're not helping but making things worse instead. I do agree that Kholek is your biggest, first and last hurdle though.

I always forget that this came out when warhams 1 was already out

>>536623674
I thought Ox Carts were more like APCs, that you were meant to dismount your infantry to fight on foot and then load them back up for mobility
not charge them directly at the enemy

>>536623674
that's what you get for trying to overwhelming my left wing like a bunch of cowards

What turn should I target for settling in Attila? I bought the game on a whim and am going for an Ostrogoth campaign first, the only thing I know from reading about it is that you're better off staying as a horde in the beginning.

Does Khorne not have supply lines? Was that a recent change?

>>536622296
*the Delves DLC.

>>536623862
I haven't tried that feature yet, my understanding was that it was just the riders who dismount, meaning it's only 48 or 64 soldiers. I guess it can be good to forcibly insert them into the middle of a formation. Will try that at some point
I've just been using them like gorebeast chariots in warhammer, slow and not able to move around much but good for one or two decisive charges, deleting multiple units if done right
they both do more damage on flanking, and deal the leadership penalty from flanking during a frontal charge, but they also get stuck and will die if it was a bad charge

>>536624663
double checked and they still get the frontal charge bonus, but not the flanking one
I was getting them mixed up with my axemen

>>536513874
>40k is coming

Can't wait. Will finally be free of this general

TW 40k isn't happening because they decided to do DoW 4 instead.

I don't give a shit about Polish wank fantasys.

>>536628478
that happens to LL factions as well. They have to lose those armies first and then they will make proper armies assuming they have recruitment buildings built. Minor facitons seem more susceptible to buying a lord at a settlement with no recruitment buildings and tier 1ing it up.

It's tongue-in-cheek humor just like Judge Dredd.

Warhammer is a lot like Warcraft, or to use a movie example, a slightly more grim Pirates of the Caribbean.
Lot of seriousness, but also plenty of jokes, especially with the skaven, ogres and greenskins.

>>536646581
>Warhammer is a lot like Warcraft

40k will have deeper diplomacy and deeper resource management in campaign.

Speaking of bretonia, should I be building farms or looms for my economy?

>>536647013
?

Warhammer is a lot like Lord of the Rings, or to use a movie example, a slightly more grim The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
Lot of Dwarfs, but also plenty of Elves, especially with the easy to shoot Dragon, shitty siege battle and orks.

>>536647656
kek

>>536646938
Are you going to mald about this every thread?

>>536647656
Siege battles in 3 arent that bad desu

How are you supposed to trigger a collapse as the Sea Peoples? The ai spams armies so much that friend or foe, if I raze a settlement it's guaranteed to be occupied in the next turn or so. Good for making money, but it's turn 50 and I haven't really gotten anything done except for make more armies.

>>536648039
you should be guarding the razed settlements, of course.

>>536648325
classic CA

>>536647849
You are the same faggot as yesterday, aren't ya?

>>536647948
>Siege battles in 3 arent that bad desu
They are so shit I feel nostalgic for one wall sieges from TWW1.

>>536648039
just spam elite armies and raze settlements in every direction
been a while since I played it but Sea Peoples grow exponentially, as soon as Iolaos can recruit gold elite units just have him recruiting new elite units every turn and as soon as he recruits new 19 units (you should be able to get this down to 4 turns with buildings/ancillaries) transfer these over to a freshly recruited stack and start the process again
new hordes can't recruit elite units as they don't have the building for it but they can recieve them, you will be in the red due to upkeep costs but if you keep razing cities you make more money than you spend, so just spread out in every direction and start burning

>>536647234
>40k will have deeper diplomacy
40K has diplomacy? Be for real

>The Menace Below
>Uses: 6

Yep, it's autoresolve time.

>>536648039
>if I raze a settlement it's guaranteed to be occupied in the next turn or so
They don't need to be permanently empty to cause a collapse, if you sweep through all the cult centers and burn them to the ground it'll take some time before AI brings them to high settlement levels again and by then you'll be coming around for another pass

>>536650138
What I don't understand about menace below is how even though they're jut shitty skavenslaves, they can basically delete any non-frontline unit in seconds despite them actually losing to that unit even in a rear charge (I tested that)

>>536650085
>he doesn't want to sign a non-aggression pact with the tyranids and mutually beneficial trade agreements with chaos demons

>>536650846
>>536650846
>they're jut shitty skavenslaves
They are clanrats

They are damaging because when they summon on top of you, all your unit's models get surrounded by 2 or 3 clanrat models so they easily kill your models.

>>536650085
Diplomacy can mean many things in TW.
IMO I think it means more choices of what to do with some of the races, it's not impossible for the imperium to cooperate with Eldar, Tau and even Necrons.
There'll also be a various imperium factions like IG, SoB and AdMech.
I bet diplomacy will have some kind of spy and sabotage shit as well.

I for one want to sign a trade treat for big assed blussy with the Tau.

vampirates flagships should be like discount black arks, with a recruitment radius around them that starts small but gets a little bigger with research or something.

I've never seen an AI faction struggle as much with their starting rebels as Malakai.

>>536649857
>>536650680
might just abandon the campaign and try again another time
I think I spent too long re-razing settlements and now the ai just has "agents" everywhere, just waiting for me to raze a settlement since they are suspiciously not at war with each other, the amount of cleaning up I would have to do at this point won't be worth it
weird that they didn't implement the colonialization cooldown that they gave to khorne and beastmen, pretty sure that was before dynasties but I could be wrong

>>536651945

What day do they normally release patches?

>>536628478

>>536660129
Tuesday has been somewhat common in the last few months but CA said that they would release the patch notes before the patch itself. No patch notes as of yet.

>>536660105
Eldar has only one in 10th edition though.

i hope there is at least a tune up for dark elves before the game ends or else i will be upset

>>536660591
The upcoming mega DLC will provide some new bells and whistles for the Dark Elves.

what's the point of hyping a 40k up when it's clearly not coming? is most of this general brown?

I'm playing immortal empires as kairos

Within like 10 turns teclis just shows up with two full stacks and I have lost 3 campaigns in a row

What do?

Cow Cow more like Gay Gay!

>>536666243
kill him on turn 9

>>536666264
shut the fuck up Shucuck

>>536666243
The way I dealt with him was pulling off the Sarthorael confederation plan, after that it was basically declaring war on Teclis, waiting for him to come to me then ambushing near one of my settlements

Medieval 2 is so old, but it's still just so good...

>>536654668
Sneaky git

>>536666832
Return the wegh, or suffer my curse.

>>536666243
get the fuck out and go for the helf islands to the east if you can't handle it

A reminder that Kairos has access to the teleport stance which is a guaranteed ambush on an army.
An additional reminder that the Shadows of Change DLC allows Kairos to recruit Tzaangors at tier 2. Tzaangors are rock solid in the early game and can be used as both a flanking unit and as a frontline.
Oh, and a tertiary reminder that Chaos Knights of Tzeentch are an s-tier unit and that Kairos starts with one.

>>536667247
>Sarthorael cheat
Shouldn't it be on the devs to patch out the broken game mechanics not on the player to pretend they aren't there

>>536661076
Nids only have one also, Cults are nothing like them at all.

I imagine that Egrimm van Horstmann will have a much easier campaign than Kairos Fateweaver.

>>536517725
getting owned by rats yet again

how come everyone says you have to play hyper aggressive and rush to take territory on legendary but when I watch jewtube streamer campaigns the player gets rekt trying to do that and can only get past turn 10 by playing super defensively and getting up to tier 2 asap?

>>536668172
Adeptus Custodese nutz and "Astra Militarium" play nothing alike, they are both Imperium codices

>>536668758
To cheese, or not to cheese. That is the qeustion.

Why do these games become so tedious 20 turns in? I don't want to micromanage 30 settlements and spread armies all over a huge territory. I want to do cool battles.

>>536668758
>when I watch jewtube streamer campaigns the player gets rekt
Which shitter did you watch? There is only 2 or 3 campaigns in the game where you cant play early aggro on legendary.

>>536670036
play beastmemes then

>>536670313
beastmemes has no cool battles its just brutally raping the ai

>>536670036
For Warhammer 3 I use a cheat that locks minor settlements at Tier 1 so the only settlements I have to manage are the province capitals.

>>536670474
Next best option would be WoC but you probably feel the same about them.

>>536670313
Did they remove all other Hordes from TWWH3? I liked playing the Chaos horde. Much more fun than defending your provinces from constant attacks. It's just not fun having the AI attack random provinces since you can't really have defensive armies all over and defensive structures are fucking piss. Even a max tier settlement with a defensive structure is weak as fuck.

>>536670247
I was watching enticity. he plays with the cheat that makes you automatically start at war with every faction and also adds restrictions like sartosafag or chaos dwarfs but you can't recruit goblins.

>>536671462
maybe because hes playing a challenge mode you retard

>>536671757
if it works in a challenge run wouldn't it still work in a less challenging one?

>>536672703
who is saying you have to play super aggressively? people just do because it lets you snowball fast

do any LLs specialize in shadow magic or give bonuses to shadow magic users?

>>536668758
it depends if you want to win or you want to farm 'content'
>>536673370
belakor

>>536670036
Try Wood Elves
I like the Sisters because the only tedious part for me is the early game before you complete your first ritual, after that point I like being able to TP around the map and try to go for different forests in different orders each time

Archaon is still pretty much a horde faction at least, yeah you have your Dark Fortress but the ones in the wastes are pretty much perma-safe after the early game so you dont really have to defend them, and then you just give all the other settlements to your vassals

>>536668827
>Imperium codices
They're just codices.

>>536674830
My first move as Archaon is vassalizing Wulfrik its pretty easy to do, easier if you manage to get an Aspiring Champion, after that you basically have a strong LL faction that manages to easily handle Bretonnia while I go hunting for Archaon

>>536676160
>As Archaon
Meant Belacuck

>>536676160
Is there a quick/optimal way to do such? I have to squash all of his settlements to get the option. He doesn't have a dark fortress tied to his faction. And likewise, don't get the option to if you wipe out his army/kill him.

Anons it's been a while. With the new update I'm thinking of who to play. Do I...

>>536677697

Liggers still need geomantic web rework.

>>536677697
>>536678087
your posts confuse me

>>536676612
I meant for Belakor not Archaon but essentially, you can neuter him rather easily and have your vassals be your backup by taking his port, hes usually busy expanding to the East but then he'll rush back towards you at your port settlement, from here either raise a second army (your economy might be fucked for a bit) or get lucky and grab an Aspiring Champion unit from the warband recruitment chances, theyre surprisingly high for a top tier unit like them, it helps big time since nothing they have can deal with them, especially if you manage to get a second one and moreso if you ambush.
>fighting Wulfriks army without Aspiring Champions
The biggest issue to deal with in this fight is the mammoth and the beserkers, Wulfrik himself is a pushover early on, utilize your Daemonettes on the flanks whenever possible and maybe have a marauder horseman or 2 to compete with his, Belakor should essentially use all his magic to bring the mammoth down alongside your 2 pink horrors. The Marauders trade evenly with yours and your Chaos Warriors will tank everything fine besides the Berserkers, make sure to Hellcannon them to soften them up, keep Wulfrik stuck in melee with Plaguebearers, theyre kinda useless besides being a tarpit
>fighting Wulfrik with Aspiring Champions
Use an Aspiring Champion to either lockdown the Beserkers and then cyclecharge them with Daemonettes/Marauder Horsemen or use it to lockdown Wulfrik or the Mammoth, they wont die just dont be stupid about how you send them in.

>>536678087
>Tier 5 web is plus 25% to province income
It's literally fine, it's something you unlock on long campaigns. The buildings are good too since they also give percentage additional income. Could it be cooler? Sure. But it's not weak.

>>536677697
Looks like I shall be French. Hon hon. Perhaps Louen and I shall retake the holy land/burn down fucking athel loren, then crusade into the sandy bit.

>>536678789
the damage was a little rediculous, it was inconsistent but I had cases where 1 siege tower was killed by 1 default arrow tower before it could dock, it shouldn't be able to delete siege towers on its own

>>536678359
Its not about GWeb being weak. Its boring as fuck and we know they are going to rework it (probably after the dlc). I'm just willing to wait for that. Changes they show in the livestream wasnt enough for me to start a ligger campaign is all.

>>536678359
The issue isn't that its not effective. Its just boring. Make it do some teleporting or something (like dwarf deeps), let me spend plaques to upgrade it, let me sacrifice warmbloods to go off somewhere and kill a random number of pointy ears who are in the wrong place to rebalance the cosmic abacus. Allow me to indolently eat this bug while 9000 saurus appear outside Talabheim and beat the shit out of it because there's a decimal point wrong somewhere in infinity. Let me drop a couple dozen dinosaurs on Sartosa because someone somewhere has a gold plaque.

fatigue is such a weak system. The battles are over way too fast and instead of a dance of death with units being rotated in and out the AI just smashes into you. If you let your cav rest you risk your frontline collapsing, the battles are over way too quick

I'm trying to use counters to deal with enemies effectively but it doesn't feel like it's doing a lot. Example, fighting big units with the Empire's Spearmen or Halberdiers, doesn't feel much different from using Swordsmen. Am I just imagining this or what?
