slaanesh should be about sex and thinking otherwise just shows slavish obedience to whatever gw says even if it's a bad idea

Cream 4.10 doesn't work, as per the instructions from the last thread. Same with installing that smokeAPI file and renaming the original API.

This might be the point where CA finally gets my shekels. It's over.

>>537854285
weren't people getting banned for using smoke a few months ago?

Is CA really trying to protect the indian employee that sexually assaulted their employees just to own the chuds?

Chaos is so much cooler in Fantasy.
Anyone can be a super Chaos guy. Even your neighbor. He's just gotta get out there and grind in the Chaos Wastes. He might become a Chosen, or a cultist turbo chad, or some sorcerer.
But in 40k?
Everyone HAS to be a Space Marine. Most of them even LOOK the same. And they aren't in it for the NORTHERN BARBARIANS Kino, its always about "WAAAA THE CORPSE EMPEROR".

It's even worse in Age of Shitmar. Nobody even knows what the fuck is going on there, feels like Blackrock invented the lore.

>>537852801
Gloq-Gar

>>537858917
The what now

>>537858917
Why should I give a fuck?

>>537858917
Considering jeets are known for raping women and because everywhere is hiring jeets to "own the racists" of fucking course

>>537854285
wtf it the smokefile thingy worked for me. You sure you renammed the one file on the GAME folder before thorwing the rar on the game folder?

>>537858917
jeet men are notorious sex pests, everyone know this
but for some reason we're supposed to pretend they're not

>>537863385
they are the new working caste since arabs proved to be unreliable

CA has abandoned historical TW. I am confident there will be no news on a HTW game this year, and even if there is, it'll be a saga, or maybe more DLC for Rome 2. Hisbros, we lost...

>>537863605
... to no one as the history game confirmed for the end of the year announcement will lead us to win again

>>537863771
... until release day where the game is in even a worse state than rome 2 was on it's release day

>>537858917
His ethnicity has nothing to do with it, he's just another man doing what men do.

>>537863312
I did that, but created too many spaghetti files in the process (I'm retarded). Now I can't even launch by getting the "an error has occurred while parsing the configuration file". Fug

>>537864687
you are indeed very retarded good sir am sorry. I simply followed the instructions and it worked. Verify the files on steam and try again (also the _o is the letter if I remember)

>>537864687
>>537864764
Wait we're good now, using the current cream.exe fixed the issue.

Whoever said to use the 4.10 version needs to kys

>>537864853
wait what do you mean the current? I used the latest and it didn't work, I had to do the smoke file thing

>>537865141
The current as in cream.api 5.0.0. The issue was just the smoke file, but not the cream exe itself.

>>537865363
strange...

>>537865394
I wonder ((((who)))) did this

>>537865515
ok am calling a skink, he has 15 demon prince kills confirmed, you're a dead bird

which lizardmen LL is good

>>537866190
LL? Kroq-Gar, Mazdamundi, Nakai, the skink twink if you're into CYOA Lords

Faction? Oxyotl is the only good one

>>537863605
Med3 will be the last game on Warscape, just like Med1 and Med2 were last games on their engines

40k will have new engine designed for more modern warfare. They will make WW2 on it later, just like Relic made DoW1 and then CoH.

With Med3, 40k and then WW2 they will be swimming in money

Will we ever get a 40k twg game? I think it could work if it was localized to a planet or solar system

>>537870702
I've seen nothing that would suggest it, much less anything that would indicate a studio as incompetent as CA could pull it off

>>537870767
Well if they had the money invested in training people that they spent on hyenas..............

>>537870702
Theres been rumours but from fat people they arent to be trusted however

we need total war three kingdoms 2 desperately

>>537871042
I think it would print money if they did it right, even BTFO huge games like baldur's gate 3

Try having some mobile elements in your army instead of just spamming meleemanii and missilemanii.

retards always find a way to sneak into executive positions
>hey I'm sure if we divert from our core audience and focus all our budget on this project will be the next league of legends/fortnite/overwatch(pick one depending on the year)! then we'll make billions of dollars! why has nobody thought of this before!!! get the nerds working on it!
it just keeps happening

>>537871531
bring dogs, cavalry, fliers, or your own artillery to counter it

>>537865515
I wonder if GW took inspiration from the scheming Skeksis for their lord of change design.

>>537874161
I cannot unsee it now, seems very obviously inspired. Talking about the 1982 movie not just the Netflix series.

>>537874161
>>537874510

>>537874161
Not sure which came first between them or Skeksis, but Lords of change started off like that because GW just used Vrock models from DnD for their own game.

>>537874897
The 1982 movie came first by like 2 years, so it must have been relevant and in their minds. Also the recurrent tzeentchian "whispers" theme that "The Chamberlain" brags about constantly, change the word "goyim" for "gelfling" and it's a real quote from the movie and show.

Sooooo, 6.3. what's the verdict, lads? Be as positive or as negative as you like.

>>537876805
nothing ever happens or changes

>>537876871
Ha ha ha nice one anon. Ok does anyone else want to opine on this or does anon's sentiment reflect the wider mood of /twg?

>guys it's easy
>just use one unit to pin down the enemy unit, a second unit to rearcharge it, and then a third unit to hit with magic or artillery fire
>what's the matter, you don't outnumber the opponent 3:1 in a game where max units per army is fixed at 20?

I need a coomer mod where Valkia or Aranessa are just Maki Zenin. Maybe Miao Ying is more appropriate.

It’s bad. TKs were overbuffed and are boring now. Liggers are as boring as ever

>>537880932
>Mobile

>>537880932
I"m guessing Tiktok zoomers are the true historical vhg total war chad heirs, since mobile versions keep getting a new content and balance passes.

>>537880932
Ha ha. I keep telling you lot CA are shitters and you are all complicit by being good little pay piggies. gamers like myself were such more discerning back in the day, thats why we got superior products relative to today. you can blame corporate shareholders you can blame woke or whatever cope you want to hang your hat on. The real reason is because the consumer who has the power of all those groups is a retard.

>>537881890
Sit down old man.

>>537880932
What's the mobile version of empire like?

>>537881248

FUCK YOU FERAL. GIVE ME EMPIRE REMASTERED.

>>537852619 (OP)
How do I get the new title screen as a stand alone image?

>>537859458
This isn't /tg/, mortal chaos lords exist in setting, I don't see the point in opining about the fact that they don't exist on tabletop when this a video game general.

>>537881248
histoids are basically impossible to please and no game will ever live up to their rose-tinted glasses view of titles they played in their childhood
makes sense they'd go for the paying audience instead of trying to meet histoids' impossible expectations

>>537883531
This, they'll whine about the tiniest detail not being historically accurate and then call the game unplayable and doom it.

>>537883083
Dunno. Load up Battle of the Black Pyramid and start taking screenshots like Chinese tourists take photos abroad. Apply blurry filter and you'll be 99% there.

It's like tasting the forbidden fruit, I finally see the light

Somebody post the webm of the multiplayer match where somebody just kept moving their archers instead of letting them shoot.

>>537884719
That guy? A SPcel trying his usual AI baiting manoeuvering

>>537881248
Completely unironically a modern mobile version of empire could very well play better than the unimaginable disaster empire was and still is to this day.

>>537884598
>multiplayer fags are actually intelligent
Intelligent at choosing the most broken units.

>>537885182
>Nyoooo you can't pick the strongest counters it's not fair the ai never does that!!

>>537885182
Wby are there broken units in a 400 dollar game?

>>537858917
this happened pre-layoffs if I'm not mistaken, I doubt he's still in the company
still shitty though

>>537863605
Should've bought Pharaoh!

>MPfags posting stories that never happened to get people to play their abandoned minigame
SAD

Do you guys not have friends???

>>537885270
>ok when mpig does it
>bad when spgod does it
hmm...

MP literally halves half of the game's features. Id play it if it was a grand strategy pvp.
Maybe in the next games they can make smaller strategy maps for PvP MP, that lets you build a smaller empire.

>>537881248
Who the hell wants to play Total War on a phone?

>>537884598
They're similar but different skillsets. You could be good at pvp and bad at pve though it's much less likely, half of getting good at either is just playing that mode a lot.

>>537886637
Many great minds have been lost to insanity trying to answer this very same question.

>>537884598
>forbid using tactics and just want to mash their army men together on an open field

>>537886907
Quarters? ESL general is tough.

>>537887131
What features are missing

Im having fun at the /twg/ meetup, were going to Kennedy Space Center today

>>537887464
You were? What are you doing now instead?

>>537887171
I'm not that anon, just making a comment regarding the "halves half".

>>537884598
The last time I played mp three quarters of the people I fought lost against a bunch of chaos warriors charging them across an open field.

>>537887171
The dude literally said in his post, are you retarded.

How many new hero types do you think Bretonnia is likely to get in their upcoming rework?
Just 1 or more?
Hopefully we'll get a hero to buff peasants at the very least.

>>537884598
none of this actually happened though

>>537888323
No he didn't. He said it wasn't grand strategy even though immortal empires (playable with up to 8 players) is, and he asked for smaller maps.

>>537888495
>peasant buff hero
>in the knight faction
why?

>>537888495
zero sadly I just don't see CA giving Bretonnia any real love any time soon besides Alberic of course

>>537888495
ranged hero would be silly for Bretonnia.
They do lack a warrior priest like character though. Something that gives regen or campaign movement

>>537888495
Brettonia will at most receive the same update TK and Liggars just received.

>>537890097
Because the peasants are part of the Bretonnian identity too.

i hate all of you

>>537891053
If you want to buff peasants play Repanse

>>537891126
go back, hole

Hotfix status?

>>537891053
That's where you're fuckin wrong, churl

>Incel chud takes the side of #metoo feminists just to be racist
Lol

>>537895643
She got burnt to a crisp by a high level volcano curse, but she is basically superman so it's alright. That's her before her heavenly pact fully awakened.

>>537894903
You're not allowed to make an accurate depiction of black people in fantasy settings because it's racist, you can only depict them as smart and beautiful Wakandites with the highest form of culture and technology possible.

total psyop general

>>537898019
You WILL love Maki Zenin.

>>537883531
Make history games in settings that people actually want to play, that's literally all you need to do.

So vampire counts only exist because of the pirates of the caribbean craze, right?

>>537902259
I wanted to play three kingdoms, but they made the game shit instead of good

>>537902471
Based retard.

>>537902604
you know I meant Vampire Coasts

>>537902887
Yep, and you're still a fucking retard.

>>537902568
there's a lot of really good systems in three kingdoms, but the UI hard filters me

>>537884598
>MPnigger desperately trying to get others to play MP

troondle could only dream of making such blizzlike area as the epoch troll starting area. just shame these guys are fucking retarded and everything is broken.

Now that I think about it: no cg would really want to use guns.
>Khorne is the CG of melee combat his whole shtick is getting up close and taking your skull. It might get damaged if he shoots you.
>Nurgle is about spreading diseases which usually means touching you and he's tanky enough to get shot at plenty of times
>Slaanesh has scream attacks and if those don't work he's the fastest moving cg.
>Tzeentch might want guns, but what gun would outdo a fireball or a magic spell that turns your skin to glass?

Using tech with chaos is usually a vashtor or perturabo thing

>>537902259
this is cope tho, it's literally the same mainstream basic bitch historical settings as assassins creed games

Units (higher tiers) should require actual resources to build, not just gold monocurrency. Would add strategy to the campaign map, meaning to trade and trade goods, prevent doom stacks and drive more mid-tier armies by necessity.

It's such a seemingly obvious idea that I'm forced to assume older games literally had it and it got cut out because of ADHD zoomers.

>>537902971
>Potc in 2003
>Vampire coast 2005

Yeah I'm sure it's just a coincidence GW wanted to cash in on a fad

>>537877232
Technically it's maxed at 80. You can have up to four armies fight for you including the one you control. The other three can be used competently enough by allied AI to overwhelm the enemy enough to apply your units at what targets you deem best.

Or just read the fucking unit card and attack it in a way that doesn't give it an advantage

>>537903880
Only Troy and Pharoh do that, in older games elite units were locked by buildings or technology

Medieval 1 you can't hire royal bodyguards without a palace, and you need the settlemnt to be a castle at least

3 Kingdoms you can't hire Jade Dragons and Imperial Lancers without going deep into the red tech tree

>>537903880
Troy and Pharaoh switch things around with the added resources
>earlygame units just need food
>midgame units need bronze as well
>lategame units adds gold too
>administration rank encourages you to be careful on not doomstacking the lategame units as itll put a heavier burden on your upkeep
Its a pretty nice system desu

>>537902259
I've been reading all sorts of pleas for new historical title from all sorts of people on different forums and here's the problem - you need the following for the historical title to be made not as SAGA title:
>needs at least Warhammer level of copies sold and unless it has China on the map as playable faction success rate instantly drops,
>needs to be in a time period that won't make 50% of the histoids instantly mald that it's the "wrong" time period,
>needs to be within a specific area of the world so that 50% of the histoids won't instantly mald that it's the "wrong"/"boring" part of the world,
>that period needs to be flexible enough for years of DLCs that sell at the level of Warhammer DLCs,
>those DLCs can't be about actual "characters" because histoids instantly mald that it's not historically accurate to play as "character" during a time period when that "character" was alive - it's all about "building empires with unnamed characters you'll write fanfictions about within the sandbox",
>those DLCs can't be about different time periods within the baseline time period because histoids will instantly mald that it's the "boring" time period,
>those DLCs can't be about specific countries because every country wants to play as their own country so it's retarded to assume that CA will make Estonia DLC hoping that British or Germans will play it, they won't at least not on a lvl they'd want
>those DLCs need to be at least at WH lvl of "quality" (not a high bar but still) so that histoids won't instantly mald that DLCs are glorified overpriced skinpacks and will refuse to buy them instantly resulting in "future of ",
Now try and navigate this minefield maze and you'll see that no matter how you look at it - every road leads to SAGA historical title and histoids don't buy those because of "muh scope".

>>537904887
I think histoids just want to morale route the enemy again.
>hurr look my army of peasants defeated a superior army because I exploit things
t. Legend

>>537903781
Then you realise 40k is a thing and they all use massive amounts of ranged weaponry.

>>537905419
"Massive amounts"= 80% shit stolen from the imperium and 20% literal magic

>>537881982
That's right, be a good little zoomie boy and finish your slop. Mmmm yummy yummy slop mmm.

>>537906308
what fucking slop nigger, do you see content?

>>537906194
Even if that were true, that's irrelevant. Like trying to say Orkz have no ranged because it's all looted. Asinine attempt of a rebuttal.

>>537891296
>If you want to buff peasants play Repanse
I want more buffs for peasants.

>cultist of Khorne
>Trait: Serial Killer Instincts

Everything reminds me of her.

>>537906564
Play Kyslev if you want broken t0 peasant-like units.

>>537905419
Mortals use range weapons in 40k (and even then not always) the only god with large amounts of ranged deamons in Tzeentch, being the god of magic.

>>537895997
>he still thinks Brettonia is getting a rework
>Anon they've moved on to Warhammer 2 races now, it's time to give up the ghost.
They said they were going to work on a Bretonnia update.

>>537864176
stop the slander

>>537906835
>Play Kyslev
No

>if you want broken t0 peasant-like units.
I don't want that.
I want to be able to make crappy peasant units into slight-less-crappy peasant units.

>>537907560
Ergo: play Repanse.

>>537897607
Yes? That's an easy choice

Report for avatar/signature and filter.

Empire Total War mobile got new DLC before TWWH3

1: is this intended
2: does it actually work like that? is every unit in the army getting this?

>>537908980
No, that would be nuts!

>>537907480
Apparently there were fragments of other letters of complaint from other clients next the the intact one.

>>537908980
Nope, it's a display bug. It says that in the tree, but in actuality it's for the Lord alone, and when you recruit the lord you will see his lord trait stating it's only for him, with no units or heroes gaining the Curse. Wario of the First Dynasty is the only beneficient of this

>>537909185
they literally delayed the patch and shit like this still gets through? CA is constantly hitting new lows

>>537909185
Do Mario and Luigi get better effects?

>>537908016
she turned me into a monster

Our dragon princess likes the Tomb Kings update and so should you.

What does Clio think of the update?

how come this thread swears that leadership doesn't matter in soihammer but when you watch mpgods play campaign they are constantly taking advantage of leadership to route units?

>>537910693
We only play single player here. Plus in MP Leadership plummets around trees.

>>537910527
she likes the Khalida buffs, not sure how she feels about the rest of the update

>>537910454
She's a bit too new to the game for that to matter
>>537910527
Likes it, found the necrotects to be underwhelming before but worth it now

>>537909917
Total War: Mushroom Kingdom would unironically sell better than 40k and any other franchise. The Switch 2 joy-cons can be used as a mouse too which is something they might want to show off with a strategy game. What faction would you main /twg/?

>>537911430
>Bing bing wahoo game would sell well
stop the fucking presses

>>537910693
>how come a general full of shitters talk nonsense?
Mystery.

Total War games that will actually get made:
Total War: Medieval 3
Total War: Warhammer 40K
Total War: Empire 2
Total War: Rome 3
Total War: Original IP

>colonize Tribeslaughter ruins by chance with Arbaal
>no vision of the settlement or surroundings

t-thanks CA

>>537912853
>Total War: Original IP
An original (fantasy) IP would flop incredibly hard for TW now.

>>537913219
Don't tempt CA.

>>537911572
Mario got vaxxed...

yarrrr scrub me salty booty!

>lord lost -16
>attacked from behind -14
>burned -8
>fear -8
if you snipe the enemy lord (which is easy to do because the ai is retarded) and then follow up a burning head with a rear charge from a unit that causes fear that's already -46 leadership.

>>537912853
>>537913219
Total War: Isekai. A million Japanese copies sold within an hour of release. Would need to have romance, marriage, and harem mechanics.

>>537916562
Would it involve waifus getting killed in battle? That really appeals to the ryona side of me

>>537882773
I'm sure they'd like to but it's not their decision

>>537915801
>time the death of an enemy Lord with a fire spell with a rear cav charge from a fear causing unit

What a fucker

>>537912853
total war hyenas
you know it to be true

>>537915801
the average leadership at this point is like 80 or something retarded like that

>>537916659
Maybe. There'd probably be a setting for that. You create your own MC and then use advanced technology exclusive to your own faction to conquer generic fantasyland. You can choose to be either a white knight to all the damsels or an insane rapist.

you know there's a leadership penalty just for taking damage right? 80 - 46 means you only have 34 leadership to get through from actually beating up the unit, even less if you can also flank attack it or hit it with a ranged unit or artillery or have terror in top of fear.

Remember that time when the basic Necron foot soldier was older than the Chaos Gods and that pissed off the writers so much that they retconned the War in Heaven to make Chaos win millions of years before their births.

Going to guess autists are absolutely seething that some TK dynasties have vampiric corruption

Its over

I don't think you should be able to retreat from battle, ever, it is such a dumb mechanic and it's so annoying having to play this whack-a-mole game with the AI.

Ogre units are too good for being stupid brutes.

I'm having fun with Rome 2 so far but the double click to charge is destroying my finger... I couldn't find a setting for single click to charge like the newer games. Is there a mod that does this? Search results just bring up battle cheats or similar.
Any recommended mods for a vanilla campaign? Using improved stat UI and UI Overhaul Compilation already.

>>537954403
(mods fix all these issues)

>>537953270
Shouldn't it have a symbol by the settlement name if it were being caused by beastmemes? Or does the khorne raze mechanic cause devastation to not trigger that properly within bloodgrounds?

>>537955245
>>537955484
Took 3 tries but I finally won. VERY close victory. Luckily this bald fucker seems to be bugged because it couldn't hit my lord in melee at all.

>>537955616
In theory there should be, but that thing was buggy even before khorne rework, which fucked it up even more.

>>537955669
The aftermath. Khorne would be fun to fight if they weren't maximum movehacks. They keep popping out of FOW and attacking my least defended regions. Not very Khorne of you AI.

>>537952498
what? no. its a monster chariot with insane durability that stomps enemy units to shit while having increased firepower and a bonus mortar on top

>>537955921
Khorne cares not from where the blood spills. he's a pussy bitch.

>>537956268
like the thunderbarge most of the damage comes from the crew shooting anything around it. rolling in and out of blobs will end up with you doing less damage than if you just sat in it. you only need to move away when there's something in the blob that can actually kill it.

Funnyroo!

>>537940771
No.

how come warscape engine was literally made for gun units and there were 3 games where they worked perfectly but suddenly now in soihammer they don't anymore? how did they even break it? I thought the whole problem was that ca isn't able to make engine level changes anymore.

>>537959458
It's only the old guns units that got ported over. The game 3 gun units work great. Something was lost in translation.

>>537959650
I'm only an amateur cheat maker but isn't the only thing that defines how a unit works a table with numbers on it and a second table for the projectile type? how would a handgunner be any different than streltsy besides the numbers on the table?

>>537954403
In wh3 it's actually better to just place ranged units with stuff in their ranges and let the auto fire do the rest as opposed to actually giving firing orders

>>537959825
Ported guns walk 20 ft to the left sometimes, streltsi don't. Ported guns need very good line of sight, streltsi can shoot through small holes in terrain you didn't know were there. Ported units form swirls and units spin sometimes, streltsi do this but much less often.

>>537959920
i just experienced this. When ordered to focus the enemy heros my guns started jogging around and being generally fucking useless. When I gave a halt order they ammo dumped into the heros immediately.

>>537960115
>When ordered to focus the enemy heros my guns started jogging around and being generally fucking useless
did you have skirmish mode on

Recruited these guys on a whim for a living equivalent to scurvy dogs and they're a ton of fun so far. Cast aspect of the dread knight on them and they ate an hexwraith in seconds, now they're blocking this chariot from ass raping my ranged units. The outpost system was a great idea. I'd prob never end up using this unit otherwise.

The conclave of light is meeting up and Kislev, Chaos wastes, Cathay and even Khuresh are attending with a big military parade being held. But Malekith isn't invited and they're even shitalking him.

Thoughts?

>>537960739
nta but i had a very strange bug playing yuan bo where every other of my archers in the garrison would have skirmish on

>>537960885
malekith was upset that in comparison all he could have was the dreadspears shuffling past rather dejectedly instead of a true parade
to add insult to injury, the cathayan parade was not sponored by naggarothi merchants like his was!

Is gorbad a decent ally? I really CBA to to the badlands bowl chasing down rats for 30 turns.

The pirate pistol corps reports they banished Skarbrand with enchanted rounds, the elven mercenaries report 35 slain bloodletters, and the gnoblar auxillary report they wish to return home to their warm little gnobbo beds for trauma counseling.

Is it worth building a an airforce as the sisters, or should I still go full archermanii?

>>537965858
That's their doomstack

>>537964896
He is worth allying just so you don't have to fight him if that's what you mean. The only downside is it would piss off all the dwarfs in the area, if they are still alive. I always try to ally with one of the dominant powers in the badlands because the ai can steamroll quick.

>>537966049
It seems like just him and queek are left. I don't trust the rats and they have 15 settlements, which I really do not feel like running down.

>>537965858
why even ask this kind of question? you should know yourself if you are the type of player that likes to play with retarded 1 unit compositions. otherwise the answer is always "make a normal army like a normal person."

>>537966239
never trust the rats

>>537965858
You shoud run a few hawks minimum in every army because the faction buff gives them missiles. More if you plan on red-lining them and give them a glade captain/spellsinger on eagle for support.

>>537966584
>retarded 1 unit compositions
Nobody said that (it was real in your head)

Ok for now lets say Greenskins, Wood Elves, Tomb Kings, Beastmen, and Chaos Dwarfs.

>>537971254
>Greenskins
Grom. His cauldron mechanic is very OP

>Wood Elves
Orion. Send your starting hero west and declare war on every faction too far away to do anything about it. This will greatly reduce army upkeep.

>Tomb Kings
Don't know don't care they're boring

>Beastmen
Morgur, actually. He's a mortis engine and his AR is obscene. All this starting enemies are very easy to kill as beastmen.

>Chorfs
Don't know. They all seem pretty OP so maybe pick whichever looks like they have the easiest start position.

>>537971583
Got it, thanks

>>537971254
>Greenskins
It used to be Grimgor before they added all the enemies that surround him and make his shitstacks less useful, now its probably either Wurrzag or Grom
>Wood Elves
None of them are quick because of the stupid Oak of Ages shit but if you want easy pick Sisters
>Kangz
Arkhan the Black, easier starting enemy, having an extra army that early even with the rework making it easier for the rest to get another army is still strong
>Beastmen
Taurox, hes so strong and his campaign is so easy you can turn him into a one man doomstack and its possibly to beat his campaign quicker than some of the more overpowered factions that have teleport
>Chorfs
Pick either Astragoth or Zhatan the Black and have a cakewalk campaign
>>537971583
>Don't know don't care they're boring
Faggot

>>537972661
>Tomb King Player
"Oh boy! Can't wait to play slowly shrinking rectangle simulator 2025!

Especially when the moving bad rectangles melt a little faster than my stationary green ones! And when I get strong enough, I can start spamming single entities!" *Sets battle to fast forward but it still takes 55 minutes*

Tomb Kings are the worst. They're like Vampires but even grindier with worse magic and the fun cavalry/air force removed.

>>537972661
>if you want easy pick Sisters
Terrible advice. The witchwood can quickly become a disaster for newer players if Morathi, Khatep, Taurox, and the skaven nearby all decide to team up. They're strong, but you need to know how to autistically min/max the early game to not get completely swamped

What mods allows me to prevent ai and player from recruiting certain unit?

>Vampire Counts player
>faction known for spamming Vampire casters in an army
>faction known for Terrorgheist, Mortis Engine and Varnghulf stacks

Ironic
>>537973964
Ive never had much issue dealing with the Witchwood area especially since Wood Elves' garrisons provide decent units for defending against almost everything that surrounds you, the only issue I ever had was the first Dark Elf enemy having a pretty stacked capital to go against outside of that everything else felt easy and I concentrate on confederating the rest of the LLs.

>>537993353
The ones with content for factions you want to play/the most. SoC is overall garbage you can leave that for last. CoC is amongst the best (if you play those/want to play those LL).

>>537992981
Sex mods

>>537993472
>SoC garbage
is it really?

>>537995942
Overall, yeah, and especially when you compare it to the average DLC for warhams 3, it's arguably the worst. Definitely bottom-barrel of the lot. I like Ostankya despite disliking K*slev as a whole (ill-fitting mistake of a faction), but she's cool. But many dislike all of it, or hate it just because of Changeling (again, a mistake of an LL). If you want to know more/why, read up on it, a lot of posts about it.

So far no spawn occured. I do have the currency tho...

>>537995942
It's fine if you really love chinks and keeslev. However those are the two most boring and soulless factions in the game. Zinch part has scribes and cool units so it's the best part of dlc.

>>537996186
Your mods are fucking with it. In Vanilla they replenish like Empire State Troops now.

How are you supposed to play the Settra campaign? You are sandwiched between Skarbrand, Carstein and that Pyramid with a huge garrison while only having access to dogshit units. Should I just sit in my 1 province until I get higher tier stuff?

>>537997070
Isn't that a different button? Haven't played 6.3 yet but in 6.2 mod spawns were under different button than vanilla spawns.

>>537997119
Unit Caps encourage Tomb Kings to play wide but Settra and Khalida both have pretty shitty starting areas for that kind of gameplay.
You're most likely just going to have to cheese Skarbrand by baiting him into an ambush with a smaller army stack as bait.

>>537997119
>Skarbrand
Usually declares war on you at around turn . Settra should have a somewhat decent army at this point. Pin Skarbrand down with spears and have at least 5 archers shooting him. Meanwhile all your chariots and monsters should take out the rest of his army
>Carstein
Take him out immediately
>and that Pyramid with a huge garrison
These guys will never declare war on you unless you force march into their territory. They actually serve as a nice barrier between you and the french

>>537999602
>siege rework
Lol.

>>537999602
The only siege rework I care for is the one where ethereal units can go through walls

>>537999602
it's been 30 years and I only remember sieges being fun ever in shogun 2 and it's entirely probable that's purely nostalgia

The remove siege battles + garrison buff cheats are great. Just be mindful if you want to play rarroos, either forgo the siege tech' or remove said cheats.

Glad to see that even after delaying, CA still can't do anything right and their Lizardmen update broke the faction's AI and all they do is stand around with their dicks in their hands and their starting army.

You get more unit caps by building the actual structures, which you can now do at T4 instead of having to wait until T5. Necrotects can also expand your caps, but won't do anything unless you have at least one building of that type already.

Fantasy wasn't selling well so GW told the writers to just phone something in ASAP. Recently, thanks to the games, its had a resurge in popularity. So they brought it back, TKs got a weird crocodile dragon thing that we will maybe see as a unit if nagash ever gets added.

>>538010013
A combination of things.
One WHF had had a pretty long sales slump because they had refused to put out a new edition for years.
Certain aspects of the long delayed then cancelled 9th edition were folded into End Times.
Two they wanted something that was more copyright friendly, "Urruks" instead of "Orcs".
Three they were still pissy about Storm of Chaos not going their way.
GW is a very weird company, I was surprised to learn they have been publicly traded since the 90s because they are so petty and bitter about everything.

>>538010013
It's the ending you get when your setting isn't selling and you got a new one, more copyright-friendly one ready to roll out.

>>538010497

It's even worse in the novels. I've been reading a series that just crossed over into that story arc and every character keeps reminding you during dialogs and internal monologues that "wow these truly are the End Times™"
I say this as a chaos enjoyer who is fine with them winning, just not in such a corporate ham-fisting of a storyline.

Absolutely disgusting

>>538016739
Ind is never getting anything because the Jeets would complain if there was anything negative and everyone else would complain if there was anything positive

>>538016739
that's the "problem" with a setting, so many things to bring closure

>try some cheat that changes the animations (idle and march) of some infantry, notably spear/spear-like weaponry infantry
>makes halberds no longer be held like greataxes, instead...like flags?
Think I'm going to uninstall this cheat after this battle. A shame since apparently it removes some of the attack animations that are completely retarded like lunging jump attacks.

>>538017485
looks fine desu

>>538017829
Except when you go to brace or attack you hold the weapon very differently (like Empire spearmen). You would not want to hold such a weapon in that manner (pictured). Why are your hands so close together on a spear or staved weapon. And both so low on the weapon so any slight movement will swing and exhaust more than usual.

>>538015049
Nah, storm was just meant to be a narrative campaign whose results players could influence. It just didn't end up having the narrative they wanted it to have, so they ignored that and just wrote how they wanted it to go.

People shit on SoC only because

maybe you can make your own mod anon!

>weeb shit against design of character talking like a child with baseless contrarian opinion
Damn always the case.

>>538018345
I've made a bunch of my own mods (some I will never publish). But I'm not interested in animation shit (even if it's just selecting which animations to use as most of these do, e.g. put new animations onto old units). I'll look around a bit more, there are a bunch of other seemingly basic animation cheats that do just that: freshen up old (WH1) units with new (WH3) infantry animations. Jumping attacks in particular can go away.

>>538018524
>Jumping attacks in particular can go away.
Could you link some? I've tried a few but the jumping attacks remain, tho maybe others I use are interfering.

>>538018261
>people shit on SoC only because...

Gee whiz wow anon very insightful do you have a blog I can follow

>>538016739
Was cathay even a real faction until TWW3 decided they wanted free chink money?

>>538019440
Yeah Cathay has been a 'thing' for quite a while, but with nearly no lore and pictures. There are many, many factions/races like this, but Cathay got artificially pushed up and in suddenly, hence why they don't belong at all, they look like shit, sound like shit, too much of a rush-job with minimal source material.

>>538019440
No
They got some mentions here and there, and a couple pages in Tamurkhans book where they wreck Sayl and some beastmen, but they were never a faction.

ITS UP

I swear to fucking god Total War 40k is going to be the death of this franchise and the final nail in the coffin for CA.

There is ABSOLUTELY no way they can deliver on that promise considering their current state and recent track record, a game of this calibre would require substantial changes to the formula and engine that they simply cannot afford right now. Sure it might become an insanely profitable installment but the risk is just too high when they could just turn to other historical/fantasy settings that fit the current formula better and will probably be just as profitable maybe even more than 40k. I'm talking about Medieval 3, Empire 2, Lord of the Rings, Dune, etc... Dune is actually a perfect example of a potential game that would help them bridge the gap between a more traditional style of warfare and a modern one.

There's a reason why Warhammer Fantasy worked so well, if you look at other modding game conversions it was one of the most popular ones since most of what it needed was already there and it fit so well. Until they upgrade their framework and engine Total War 40k is going to be nothing more than a pipedream.

>>538023503
TWW40K wil be a 10 years project, just like TWW.
They will fund it with 10 years of DLC, just like TWW.

Mon-keigh I want a space squire.

>>538023503
They won't do any more historical games after Pharaoh bombed...
Outside maybe another romance of three kingdoms

>>538023503
>>538023784
It's not happening.
If it does happen I will show everyone my penis.

>>538023803
Both of those games failed for very different reasons, but it's clear there is still a huge market for historical strategy games even if the old total war fanbase is gone. Three Kingdoms was actually a pretty big success it just shit the bed with its DLC updates

>>537990897
Both are useful and you get melee anyways from the building
Pretty much any monstrous infantry is best when working with chaff, it's great for blocking chaosnigger chariots/monsters

They laid off over 200 people. Out of 800-something.

Zoomers are intellectually capable of thinking outside of "funny sales line goes up = GOOD" and that mindset has killed video games more throughly than a jewish board of directors.

>>538024763
That's exactly my point, what makes you think they can pull off 40k after having 1/4th of their employees laid off when they couldn't even properly pull off Warhammer 3 before? Maybe once they find themselves in a more stable position they can give it a shot, but as it currently stands they're setting themselves up for disaster (even more so considering DoW IV just got announced and it's going to eat up a slice of their pie).

>>537997119
You capture all the TK pyramids, research 2 more lords to expand your army cap, and then spam 50 armies of FREE FUCKING SKELETONS by Turn 30. This is what Reddit tells me.

>>538015049
Like the original Thirteenth Black Crusade, Storm was set up as
>This is going to change... Everything.
And was supposed to end with Chaos being much stronger and more prominent in the setting. Unfortunately, they thought that bringing in player participation would be a cool way to get people hyped for the coming change in the setting. All the battle results ended up with Chaos getting fucking rekt and the Ordertide proving themselves much, much stronger and more popular.

So GW undid it all in some random post-event magazine article. Storm went out with a whimper but Chao still achieved its goals bitch, you suck. And when End Times rolled around they basically did the same thing but didn't involve players at all in the outcome. They just wrote a bunch of characters to be very stupid or out of character, drastically increased the levels of high fantasy drama in the setting, and then killed it for the trademark-friendly Age of Sigmar.

>>538025179
You have less than 50% movement. When you make landfall outside a port, your army is put into Forced March. If you don't have enough to enter Forced March, you cannot land.

Kills vamps early, then start gearing up to wipe out skarbrand before he gets on your ass.
You can ignore the black pyramid, they aren't going to declare war on you and even if they did they don't leave their base 99.9% of the time because of their trait.

>>538025807
Also, GW learned from these mistakes so that the next time they did a player-controlled/influenced event, they put their fat fucking thumb on the scales so that they got the "lore" they wanted to write. It's just like how MTG/WOTC used to have events where the final set in a trilogy of releases would be "influenced" by the results of official tournaments, such as Mirrodin "possibly" ending up as either New Phyrexia or Mirrodin Pure. Spoilers: They were always going to do New Phyrexia.

>>537997119
How can you have any issues winning as the single easiest, most OP, most expansionist lord in the game right now?

Unfortunely no, because storm of chao for all it's fault, didn't had shit like
>unch of characters to be very stupid or out of character
Also, your favorite thirteenth black crusade had just that, and giant plot armor for everyone who wasn't imperium

TWW40K is doomed to succeed, just like TWW.
I would say the only thing that can endanger TWW40K are CA's futur side projects if they flop and cost the company too much money (like with Arena / Halo Wars / the Sagas titles / Hyena for TWW the past 10 years).

The real fantasy game is pretending that Total War: Warhammer 40K is coming.

>>538026779
Well, we know they're making Alien Isolation 2
Then there was that action game, assuming it hasnt been cancelled

>>538025807
>Thirteenth Black Crusade
Abbadon the Armless needed to fuck up 12 times before he managed to actually accomplish anything.

>>538026779
I'm sure that's what Relic thought when they made Dawn of War 3.
I'm sure that's what Slitherine thought when they made Armageddon.
I'm sure that's what the developers of the Eisenhorn videogame thought.
I'm sure that's what the developers of the Adeptus Titanicus game thought.
I'm sure that's what that studio that made Speed Freakz, the 40k Kart Racer/Battler, thought.

There are more failed 40k games than there are successful ones. Say what you will about 40k players, the ones who buy the videogames do have standards. If something isn't up to snuff, no matter how cool it may be, they will not buy it.

>>538027108
This is correct. I still think the average person remotely interested in warhammer/40k vidya really doesn't know just how many 40k games there are out there. Ever since GW got lax with the licensing there was a surge of dogshit 40k games.

Yeah, I think its time to have this world...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV8USmxRzw0&list=RDyV8USmxRzw0&start_radio=1

>>538027108
What's sad is some of those shit games were good licenses. Armageddon could've been a cool strategy-scale game but Slitherine really just phoned it in. Eisenhorn is one of the pillars of the Black Library canon and they just made a really mediocre iPhone game.

>>538023801
>10/10 in the Imperium

>>538026779
Good bait, I can tell you arent old enough to have been around for empire/early warscape with a take like that

>>538026181
They actually did try putting their thumb on the scale for SoC.
To my understanding, they released a whole bunch of really overpowered units for chaos right before, just to buff them up a bit, but they still ended up losing, because while all the chaos players had to figure out how to fit in those new units into their armies, all the other factions' players had perfectly viable strategies ready to go.

>>538010013
>we cant copyright generic fantasy races for maximum jewry
>dump it

>>538027068
Uh, actually he was vary successful in 12 previous ones and accomplished all of his secret goals.

>>538028320
i dont think they got anything, the problem was that a bunch of new players came in and screwed with the numbers because they didnt know how to play

>>538028595
I'm sure that's what he tells people.

>>538027108
All those games were dropped by their dev within a year.

Why the hell don't modders use AI to just generate some basic ass new voicelines for their custom characters?

>>538029714
I've heard from other modders that you can get in shit for that (banned) for publishing it even though you don't make money from it. I have a mod from another modder that uses AI to generate lines (mod changes male LL to female version, copies the lines, adds a few more, using AI female voice that kinda sounds appropriate) but it's not public, private/unlinked and shared in a forum.

>>538029878
what the hell? Even if it's generic lines?

>>538029980
Supposedly. It isn't work I've done, but have read on a handful of times (on steam and modding forums). And I don't know how you'd properly verify it, either. Do CA respond to questions on the forum or some shit? Otherwise, you can ask the >discord server 'Da Modding Den' which is a huge mod server for TW. I've never posted there, but I've heard of it occasionally and credited as being helpful. It isn't just for warhammer, either, I think it's all TW modding.

What will be the role of guardsmen in TW:40K in the face of SEM tank spam?

>>538030706

Harkon attacks Itza with four stacks, but what he DOESN'T know is Mazdamundi is in ambush stance just outside and will enter the battle as reinforcements while 15,000 zombies try to scale the walls. One hundred battles, one hudred victories, never get in a land war in Lustria, etc, etc.

It happens. In my experience the bigger the battle the bigger chance it will crash, which usually makes me close the game and drop the campaign because fuck that I'm not wasting another hour doing that shit again.

What happens if you get 117% spell resistance with your lord? Do you get healed from enemy spells or what?

is there a way to play legendary without the retarded sticky camera? what does this even do

>>538063414
it caps at 90%

>>538063414
It caps at 90% resistance. Going over that only matters for if the enemy has something that lowers spell resistance.

>>538063461
Realism camera is supposed to make it harder for you to identify troop movements and formations in the distance even though they have a big fucking cursor over them telling you exactly what they are

Think of it like playing a race game where you have to have camera inside the car instead of behind it.

He should have gotten access to everything anyway as the penultimate Chaos experience.

Are there any good beginner guides for total war rome 2? I'm new to the franchise and trying to find some but they're either shit or use some fuckass mods while I'm playing vanilla
I've tried a few games as Rome, I'm just spamming infantry since I've heard that Rome's infantry is really good, but I usually get fucked over by rebellions tanking my economy while dealing with constantly getting declared war on for whatever reason
Also, how accurate are autoresolves? Like if autoresolve tells me that no matter what stance I take I'm going to lose, do I just accept it, or am I better off fighting the battle myself and trying?

>>538086039

I find it hilarious that some developer just based all Bloodspeaker models on this actor from Troy. Not a bad choice, actually.

>>538087215
I really like the Bloodspeaker model, they are one of the coolest generic lords in the game. But all the variants look too similar to each other, just like most of the recent generic characters added, which is unfortunate.
Where did they say they based it off him?

>>538087215

>>538082902
>reddit spacing
Be'lakor is the Chaos-iest of the Warriors of Chaos. He's a stand in for a Chaos Undivided Daemonmanii lord or a more classic Daemons of Chaos roster. You should just play him if that's what you want.

Sent a disaster battle to Legend. Bro, just lower your difficulty to easy and auto resolve it, problem solved.

He's right, it works but gods, that is not the answer I wanted.

Is there a mod that lets you play every single faction in a single campaign?

Finally bought second monitor(unironically mostly for work, dunno what use of it for gaming) and now mouse cursor always instead of moving camera goes from one screen to another in total war games.
Any way to fix that? Or should I just move on the wasd controls?

The ToT video kind of killed my interest so I have not visited the general since. I assume there were no news this week?

you guys have to come to terms with this dlc never coming out. WH3 is over, accept the incoming 40kuck tide and just let it wash over you

>>538095425
Yeah, by default Total War doesn’t lock the cursor to one screen, so it’ll just slide over if you’re on a dual-monitor setup. If you want it locked, you’ve got a few options: In some TW games (like Warhammer), there’s a setting in the options menu under ‘Graphics’ or ‘Display’ called Confine Mouse Cursor to Window turning that on keeps it locked.

If the game doesn’t have that setting, you can run the game in borderless fullscreen or use third-party tools like Cursor Lock to keep the mouse contained. Otherwise, yeah, WASD is the safe way around it.

once you discover kairos in diplomacy just declare war on him right away
otherwise he will use his schemes and steal your settlements due to anti player bias, declaring war prevents this
