Honest question anons: Would you rather eat a hot dog made by Taurox or a serving of Indian street food?

wtf is this
stupid chaos wastes what a shithole

It's hilarious how they have this strong rivalry but the rest of the world just sees the same disgusting thing

>>539011721
they're literally the same people divided by religion. it's like the irish and the north irish

>>539011925
Don't compare us to the west britons again you What d’ye think of that, ye ancilliary-wearin’, auto-resolve-lovin’, bog-trottin’ Skaven-rat, gobshite garrison-sitter, pox-ridden Chaos-worshippin’ langer, half-baked Cathay turtlin', bletherin’ Kislev gobdaw, Doomstack-clickin’ gurrier, milk-lappin’ Bretonnian eejit, gormless hotkey-fumblin’ amadán, whingin’ onions-faced Khorne-thick, worm-eyed little scut of a Daemon Prince, ya useless spud-headed Ogre bollix

I've nver played any of these factions so help and tips are appreciated.

>>539017736
>Arbaal
simple, secure your starting province or two and keep a cheap army in each province while Arbaal teleports around the world, razes and sacks for a few turns, then teleports again
been a while since I played him so I don't remember specifics, just that once you take off it doesn't really ever stop
wrathmongers are good if you have them

>>539017736
>arbaal
piss easy mode
blow up minor settlements and settle major
no supply lines so always be recruiting and multiple lords wandering around
have arbaal hope around the world for his challenges as there are some nice buffs from there like extra campaign movement and reduce upkeep
wrathmongers are absolutely busted
arbaal's boosts mortal units but he's best with cavalry
have your main armies push out from your starting area, don't be afraid to fight everyone and go in the red, the post battle loot will be great
meanwhile do arbaal challenges, start outposts or confederate other khornate factions as needed\
also research that tech that gives growth after battle ASAP

AKSHINA AMBUSHERS are probably the worst, most useless, most overpriced piece of GARBAGE in the entire game. It's actually crazy how bad, WORTHLESS, a single unit can just be. Why, why would anyone ever buy that fucking SHIT over kossars or streltsi? AND NO, they are not even good at fighting in the woods, they are slow, they don't shoot while moving, magic damage I guess is "okay" against fucking savage Orcs on the other side of the map to overcome their low armor but physical resistance, their hybrid stats don't allow them to excel at anything, neither good at shooting nor fighting melee, just "okay" at both while having the price of a tier 5 unit, a total fucking piece of crap, probably designed for MP, of course, like every fucking trash unit in this game.

>>539010272
TAUROX LOVES WEENIES

>>539019509
upon release they were armour piercing in melee and ranged and were better than shades, becoming the premier kislev unit
sadly it was later nerfed badly

>>539019770
And I guess, I presume, I have this insane suspicion that they were nerfed on behalf of all the cries from the MP community. It's time we accept we have a problem here.

>>539010272
Isn't that cannibalism?

>>539010272
gee taurox, how come malagor let's you eat two wieners?

>>539020067
You are correct. MPfags were screeching on the forums and reddit about Ambushers as soon as they released.
It's remarkable given that they came with Shadows of Change which had plenty of other bullshit packaged in that was actually worth complaining about.

>>539020067
Stealth is actually relevant in MP so all stealth units have to suck in SP

Have you called your mother lately anon?

>>539020067
To be fair pretty much everyone called them out because Ambushers were basically making every other kislev unit irrelevant in campaign too

>>539020669
She's on a cruise on another continent, but I wished her a happy birthday earlier this week

>>539021191
At least they should have balanced it so that you could make them valuable through technologies, not even Ostankya tech tree boosts them to make them worthy at all at any point in game, especially considering you fight mostly against the mid armor, silver shielded Delve infantry mostly.

If you take what in real life used to be Prussia on a map of Warhammer fantasy where would Prussia have been?

>>539024110
ostland and erengrad

>>539024450
cool artstyle

I took down a Black Ark as Alith Anar and I got all my movement range back, is this tooltip out of date?

>>539024802
When this game says like +5% replenishment or +5% movement it's WAY more significant than that sounds
I'm guessing it's because baseline replenishment is "10%" or something along those lines

Why can't you attack from sea as Norsca? They should be viking raiders but you're forced to waste a turn disembarking before you can sack a settlement.

>>539025232
Uhhh just play the game and don't ask questions YOU FUCKING WHITE MALE CHUD

>>539025232
NORSCAN RAIDERS?
VAMPIRE COAST?
YOU CALL YOURSELVES PIRATES?

>Surtha Ek (leader of all Norscan people)
>Surthara Bel-Kec (Tiranoc leader)

What does it mean?

>>539026652
Hack writers.

>>539025796
>duhhh don't be scared of mask edday, someone else is using it.

>>539026652
>In Total War: Warhammer II, the developers added several easter eggs as nods to the character's popularity. Surtha Ek was reconfigured to always start with a chariot mount. If Surtha Ek or the Tomb King Settra the Imperishable defeat the other, the victor gains the "True Chariot Master" trait. Additionally, the leader of the High Elves faction of Tiranoc (a faction also renowned for their chariots) was named "Surthara Bel-Kec".

>>539010272
excellent

Is there a mod to keep certain unusual locations from appearing in certain places?

Do you think CA will ever make a TTW4[/spoiler] with sea battles?

Hiroshimoot ate my spoiler
Thats it, i'm starting an ogre campaign

>>539030141
hell no. they could make a "total war: age of sail" and still they won't add sea battles. it's just never going to happen again too many charlemagnes

>Miao coming in with 3 doomstacks

this battle was genuinely the most fun I've had in my last 100 hours. Why are WH3 battles so bad compared to previous TW games and even WH2?

>>539034983
You'll find that 'herbivores' can and will eat meat under certain circumstances. Their digestive system just isn't designed for it, so they don't gain as many nutrients.

I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3rXKKGsfpk again so I'm gonna play Karl. Anything I should know? Literally never played Empire.

Yep, both are

>>538999608
5 trebuchets do win against 2 hell cannons because they only need to kill the crew. but mostly it's about killing infantry units that your knights can't handle like the fireglaives

you do want the enemy to move towards you so they don't camp on some hill and so they break formation and allow you to find units to pick off

grail reliquaries are completely useless. they give some melee attack and leadership but if you're going for an elite stack it's better to get another additional unit. also i used a very spread out formation to make the manlets run for it and it would be impossible to apply the buff effectively

>>539042181

>>539049792
they're not useless they make your peasants significantly stronger, but they would probably still get rekt by the immortals anyway. I still think you would be better off forgetting about the trebs and the infantry and taking more cavalry.

>>539055808
probably but i wanted to have as little micro as possible and from a sp perspective you do need some siege capability. the squires can fight through the town while the trebuchets clear the way

but i agree more cavalry would have made it easier since bretonnian infantry sucks ass

>>539057173
you're playing sieges wrong. i'm sorry you can't fill your doom stack with your favorite units that suck in sieges but this is "total war" and not "total land battle only on flat terrain"

>>539064575
Why would the celts not used bronze helmets like everyone else?

>>539064598
what the other anon said the right way to siege with bretonnia is to blob everyone up and blow them up with dwellers below your infantry is dog ass and will get annihilated by 900 range towers so that leaves your cavalry now I get Cavalry are supposed to be trash in sieges thats cool however the problem is Cavalry are trash in sieges in total war warhammer because the pathfinding is so fucking bad

>>539064598
sieges have always sucked though medieval 2 the game that everyone blows had such terrible 'sieges' it was a literal joke

Why are unknown locations so rare? I'm in over 100 turns and I've only had a few.

>>539065230
because they're really good

>>539064675
>>539064943
fair enough

Kislev is so anti-fun to play it almost comes back around to being funny. What do you mean i have to fend off Arbaal, Azazel and a bunch of Skaven at the same time bro

>>539065108
i don't mind tw 3 sieges. the only annoying thing is that stupid building mini game. just give us the supplies beforehand. there is already enough micro involved no need to complicate things further.

but other than that they can be fun as long as you enter with a plan and the right unit composition.

personally i don't even mind the "pocket ladders" and it's a sign of real incompetence that CA thought that this is something that needs to be changed. it's really not a stretch to assume that a fricking army can build as many ladders as they goddamn please and distribute them among all units. heck just image some invisible civilian support troops that carry the ladders behind them if realism is a concern. having ladders as separate entities is simply more micro and unnecessary restriction

>>539064943
fixing the pathing would fix 90% of the problems I have with sieges but of course its the one thing that will never happen because ca is incompetent

If you have less than 500 hours your opinions are invalid btw

>>539066165
I dont even want to think about the time I lost to this series during COVID

>lacking in detail (spiders climbing walls, ghosts passing through them, skaven/dwarfs digging under walls)
>shit like gates bugging out

>>539065535
I feel like it is very random, the first time I played with Kostaltyn it was a breeze and the eviltide was getting raped everywhere and barely had to fight Slaanesh and Skaven at the same time, the second time I was getting anal examinations from everyone everywhere, Skaven, Slaanesh, Arbaal, Norsca, even Drycha and the Ogres and even the Ice Queen was going to declare war upon me with the tribute threat.

Nonstop tough but nonstop fun, gets to take Archaon, Tamurkhan and Arbaal out early (Archaons starting army cannot handle fighting War Bear Riders), Daniel is so easy you can plant an Ice Witch or other Lord and just keep them in the capital nearest to his settlement to either constantly AR beat him back or kill him manually since hes so easy to kill and his early armies suck

Sadly true

I work in a furniture factory and I try to imagine to myself if we told our customers "sorry, we don't have the resources to deliver the quality you expect" like CA does. Truly game development is daycare for grown ups.

>>539057236
I've been doing this and my enjoyment of the campaign increased tenfold.
I also added
>Abilities and Spells for Garrison Heroes

>Fully Custom Garrison
If fully custom garrison works for the AI, every settlement battle will be a full 20 battle and have different units instead of being the same every time.

>>539080315
How come only the japs strapped banners to the back of their dudes

>>539080383
i assume because they mostly killed each other instead of foreign cultures. mostly. also i'm not a historian so who knows. it does look cool though

>warhammer adds climate shit to prevent you from just painting the map with every race
>doesn't work because any settlement you raise is just instantly colonized by the AI
>20 years later
>the same problem still happens
>climate penalties are still the same
could CA be any more incompetent?

>>539081624
ithe ai likes to completely ignore razed settlements in my games. i once razed santas capital and then peaced with him to concentrate on other things. continued to go to war with him 30 turns later and it's still razed. or they colonize the razed town, but never upgrade them again.

So we’re really just sitting around for another month for the dlc trailer, silence til’ then?
This sucks.

is there any way to make og rome run on more than 24 fps?
I don't want to play the remastered

>>539081624
all climate does is make campaigns more repetitive

>>539083378
Climate was a stupid decision and I don't understand why CA kept it all the way to warhammer 3

Holy shit I think the stat boost slider for enemy AI finally broke me into lowering to 0%. Absolute cancer

>>539083595
why would you use it
it just makes ranged artillery and spells more dominant than they already are

>The AI proceed to force march from my army then raze one of my settlement.
Fuck this shit

They really should add some more personality to the various LL.
Seeing valkia giving me cash in exchange for peace is a huge immersion breaker. Not to mention watching the armies of khorne scatter everywhere trying to avoid fighting my stack just looks retarded.

that said imagine capturing the gorequeen haha

I am sick but rather than give in to Nurgle's foul temptations I want to smash every fucking nurglitee screaming back into the warp like the faggots they are. LL for this feel?

>>539086825
Surely it must be possible to mod what the AI can do in diplomacy
I know for a fact you can mod the autoresolve, maybe make it 100% in favor of the ai

>Age of Sigmar™ introduces a mythological aspect to their origins with the introduction of Boingob™, the godbeast progenitor of all Squigs™. This massive creature barreled through the realms in a frenzied pursuit of the light of Hysh™ (basically the sun), until it finally jumped up and was roasted alive. Now its colossal skeleton serves as a holy place/impenetrable lurk lair to the Moonclan™ Grots.™
I'm glad Age of Sigmar™ has given squigs a proper origin story.

>>539081624
Remember in WH1 when you just literally were unable to colonize bad climates at all?

What exactly is the usage for the Gate Master in the Cathay roster? he kinda sucks as a melee unit Is he just there as a buff bot for Jade units? Is he worth it for an army of jade units because it feels like that would get obsolete once you get the celestial units.

>>539091120
it was better than this

>>539091305
You can stack them to make jade way tougher than celestial while being cheaper

>>539091305
>Gay Master

>>539091792
Huh, didn't think about stacking them. I guess that'd make Jade units pretty legit. Only problem with Jade crossbowmen is they lack armor piercing.

>>539049060
Yeah i wonder why

>>539091305
the main usage is to make redditors happy with "character diversity" lol

The Golden Bussy...

>>539091931
I love how you chuds conveniently leave out the context that some spaniard showed up to a 40k game wearing a t-shirt with a swastika on it

>>539093610
>wearing a t-shirt with a swastika on it
It was even worse, he showed up wearing a full set of nazi clothes. With the express purpose of making every opponent he got matched against refuse to play with him and win every match by default.

>>539093783
Holy BASED

>>539094004
And then you wonder why GW wants nothing to do with you people and goes out of their way to make sure you don't feel welcome.

>>539093783

Well you see anon, one day GW noticed that a bunch of unironic neonazis were trying to appropriate their business and setting and rig their tournaments, so they started adding all that stuff to filter them out and not lose every other client.
The end.

Funny how the top one is 2.8% and the bottom is 1.8%, finishing long victory objectives is such a drag

>>539095382

Will they ever add the battle speeches for the warhammer 1 and 2 factions?

>>539095898

>>539095417
I have 600 hours and I have never completed a campaign

>>539095417
>funny how the easier achievement is achieved more often than the harder achievement
congratulations on your first campaign but that statement doesn't really make any sense

either way good job! it's not an easy feat and requires a decent amount of willpower and managing your personal mental resources as much as the in game resources

>>539089345
Report immediately to the supreme patriarch chamber my daughter.

>>539096279
Damn asmongold looking pretty grim lately.

>>539096340
grave even

>>539096187
you should try it. the game really opens up on the strategic level once you start managing several armies over a big territory

>>539096574
That sounds like work. I think I shall just start a new campaign and get bored about 40 turns into it instead.

>>539096662
this but with 10 turns

>>539096279
Horny anons will think this means sex, but he wants to convince her to prank Katarin

>>539096694

How the fvark do i use Ogre Mercs? after the initial charge they lose health very fast

>>539096934
Cycle charge mostly

>>539096934
Charge once and then recruit another stack after the battle

>>539096740
The prank is sex, right ?

>>539096268
I was saying it's funny how small the difference is

>>539094482
Except that those things were added before that debacle.

>>539077815
>>539097637
I don't care for politics and I genuinely hate anyone who brings that shit into a video game board, even (you). But this is an example of how it's done. At least make it relevant to the game instead of screeching about nazis or trannies or other off-topic bullshit.

>>539096662
>That sounds like work
yeah it is but it's also rewarding and some features only make sense in that bigger picture context. but you do you

>>539098394
Doesn't it cap out at like 90-95% anyway?

>>539098485
yes it caps at 90%

>>539097115
Archwarhammer also played a part in it.

Are Khatep and Khalida still shitty post-rework or are they fun now?

>>539098842
They always were, people here just refuse to build eco buildings for some reason

>>539098842
Khalida makes skelly archers do actual damage now I think

So how do i do siege battles with factions that have zero artillery like Slaneesh

>>539100996
artillery is not that important for sieges
most important thing is to scale the walls with heavy infantry and then either set up killboxes with ranged (not applicable in this case) or rush objectives

so basically get heavy infantry and let your lord go wild inside after breaking the gate

>sneak ungors over the walls on the other side of the town
>ungors open the gates
>rest of that stealth group refuses to go through the open gate and rather climbs the wall
wtf is this shit?

Are chosen and black orcs really just 30 man units now?? I'm suspecting a mod is fucking around but I have no idea which

>>539101648
>put unit on a wall that has been destroyed on both sides
>half of the unit manages to get up
>the other half stays on the ground
>the half on top of the wall is suddenly unable to get down again

>>539102068
SFO?

>>539102068
80 for me. did you fuck around with the unit size setting?

>>539102165
Nah I know which one which I had forgotten I had activated. Better elites.

Fuck me I'm stupid

>>539098842
Khatep has always been goated.
People fear the challenge campaign.

>>539102293
more like people just hate fighting in the delf starting area.
The maps are horrendous, the geography is insulting and delfs are not a fun enemy.

>>539100996
place your army on one side and run nkari and some other speed demons to the opposite side bust open the gate and capture objectives or something

>>539019101
>wrathmongers
>implying Arbaals campaign lasts long enough

Would you?

>>539104857
Smite that abomination in the name of ze lady? Yes.

Does Settra supposed to be the chariot guy or does he have another doomstack option? They're very micromanage intensive and I don't have the patience top deal with it especially in larger battles.

>>539105436
If you don't want to micro the chariot put him on sphinx then fire and forget.

>>539105436
Why would you ever doomstack chariots? They have very defined strengths and weaknesses.

>>539105436
Chariots or Tomb Guards, but since Kangz Chariots sucks, just use Tomb Guards with Settra on his Chariot.

>>539105436
I only use chariots in the early game, same with skelehorses
Once you have ushabti and scorpions and snakes online there's no reason to use a flimsy low tier chariot, and now the giants have even went from tier 5 to 4
They are good for early chaff clearing though
Also doomstacking is both gay and inefficient

>>539108449
Boner giant was always tier 4.

>>539108618
maybe your tiny version

>>539108618
You know what I mean ya cheeky git

What's the best magic available for the Kangz? Shadow?

>>539109341
Yeah but you need book for that unless that was changed in rework, haven't played yet. If no book then light, or nehekhara for chaff skeleton armies to spam cheapest spell for healing.

>>539109612
Think they changed because the first priest I got as Settra came with Shadows.

did you fuck with the difficulty?

>>539111729
Given your army comp you should have taken the pyrrhic victory, the AR was favoring you despite the fact his army hard counters you and youre facing a level 50 Tamurkhan which is more or less unkillable, send it to Legend he might be able to win

>>539111729
It saw you eat shit and changed its internal calculations.

>>539111946
I did not
turns out the +8 leadership from that banner i forgot about was the difference between life or death in that calculation
jesus

>>539112663

At least the only valuable units in that army made it out fine

>irondrakes not valuable

>in an army with no frontline

>>539112816
thankfully I have two other armies eating his other provinces from the north and west and already spent about 7 turns as ungrim doing some guerilla warfare taking settlements in this region
I think his faction will be wiped out in 2 turns at most. hopefully he does come back though so I can get his defeat trait on another lord

>>539112874
>>539112965
using flame drakes over trollhammer torpedo drakes is the real issue here, flamethrower is fine but also not better than trollhammer torpedoes

>>539111729
>>539112158
how is this not an easy pyrrhic victory? looks like a lot of large monsters against slayers and cannons to snipe high value targets

>>539113360
It's not like you use them for the same stuff.

>>539113557
Not enough shit to actually block for all those ranged units
It would be fine if there were slow ass chosen taking up slots but that entire army is a fast rushdown

>>539113557
The biggest issue here is the cavalry and Tamurkhan

Can someone explain why this keeps happening? This has happened 3-4 times already where I will go to war with someone, and it says my vassals join me, but they end up joining the opposing side instead.
I tried using the better vassals mod but that just stops my vassals from leaving me when they refuse joining a war, has no effect on this issue.
This has happened with multiple different enemies, different vassals, declaring war vs being declared war on, no common variables or indication that it happens if you don't check diplomacy yourself.
I'm about to drop this campaign, I can't keep sinking resources into peace treaties with vassals that I shouldn't be at war with in the first place.

>>539114584
for clarity, the Manyan Phygria faction is the faction this time around, you can see they joined me as my vassal for the war declaration, but in my relations tab they are no longer my vassal and actually at war with me

People are so mind broken by TW2 they still think balancing never changed.

>>539123368
They are too fragile thoughbeit, if we have royal chariot guard from TOW then it might be worth using until the lategame.

>>539121478
Depends on who's playing
295 wins by how many players? What if it's just ten?

>>539123368
They're not bad but against lategame AI spam of high tier units they lose relevance, chariots and catapults just aren't worth the building slot
Obviously if SP army comps were like MP where chaff is everywhere they would be solid

>thing le bad
>because I SAID SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes hatti is supposed to use vassals but fuck having ai on your side it never was good and never will be good
just tick the option to allow all traditions and pick the shekel merchant one so you get caravans as every faction

Sending one trillion bajillion crowns per week to the Karaz Ankor to pay for Cannons because they're so weak and unprotected they need more and more Cannons they need more Cannons in the Karaz Ankor they need as many Cannons as we can get. They-- in the Testaments of Sigmar it says "thou shalt give Dawi Cannons. thou shalt give Dawi all the Cannons they need". And when I look at the amount of crowns-- the amount of crowns that's RAPED from me. That I have bled and sweat for I say "y'know what? I'm not paying enough. I'm not paying enough.

The easiest are the ones who can fly or charge in on a big monster and drop a fat vortex/bombard spell to just delete whatever blob they're standing in

how strong are lizardmen and tomb kings post patch?
apparently tomb kings are strong now but I don't believe it

>>539135691
TK are great just try to use Tomb Guard for every frontline
Then obviously Ushabti of both kinds and Necropolis Knights will carry
Stalkers and Scorpions aren't as good but still do well

>>539130132
Yeah I guess I should have seen it coming knowing how vassals are in other games, still frustrating though, especially now that it happens for every new war. The campaign is basically over now unless I want to spend 20 turns letting my borders fall while I deal with my vassals that are almost as strong as I am.
It probably does have something to do with the benevolent tradition that Hatti gets, since I haven't had this issue in other campaigns, but I also haven't been using vassals much so maybe it just never became an issue.
There is a lot of good traditions in the game, shame that both of Hatti's involve vassals but at least you don't have to choose them.

Why is it that in many maps, even if you are on the defensive, garrisoned in your own tier 3 settlement, it seems that the battle map benefits the attacker? That you are more exposed, on a lower ground, etc. as a defender? It doesn't make any sense, so many things in this game seem to be overlooked, and it has been 10 years like this.

>>539140501
For most of the life of this series defensive battles were so easy they were almost trivial, and you could essentially beat anything by just drawing large AI armies into siege battles and annihilating them to a man with much smaller and cheaper garrisons.
With the newer games, they deliberate design the siege maps to be ugly and miserable to play on so that you can be forced into unwinnable battles that aren't worth playing out and materially set back your campaign, because TCALUK has mastered the art of game design.

>>539140501
Because literally, literally ALL fucking maps are designed to be balanced for MP. If something doesn't work in this stupid game it is because the retard developers thought they could turn this niche strategy rpg genre into an e-sport, and they are still with this fucking mindset and the mp crybabies on the forums perpetuate all this fucking garbage game design.

>>539140962
It's funny because it's true and I've seen this time and time again. I've been on 'both' sides too (sometimes SPgod, sometimes competitive tournament-playing MPfag) and every time, MPshittery (enforced by the devs) ruin the games every time. MP in of itself is fine, but when the MPfags get too cocky, and when the devs get too weak and forceful, it's ugly. Stale.

why does my ll sometimes stop chasing for no reason even if theres nothing blocking him

>>539140962
mpfags dont even even use the official maps and want everything to be perfectly mirrored

>>539141852
BECAUSE THE GAME SUCKS!!! OKAY!!?!!?

>>539142301
ok sorry!!!

>>539140962
To be fair, when they released the game it was the peak of e-sports faggotry with LoL and other games making massive numbers and having a gigantic ecosystem of sponsors for teams and such that brought millions, everyone was trying to jump on the bandwagon.

I think i'm feeling rather grim over this.

>>539148109
Perhaps even grave?

Why does the gatehouse keep opening but I can't go in or attack it?

>>539149731
it's the spaghetti code, please understand.

>>539140501
It's presumably to try and handicap you and help the AI. They actually have honestly made the AI smarter - I am not saying by a lot, but I remember in R1 and M2 they'd just charge right into your front and fucking die (general, that is) whereas now cavalry flank obsessively by the AI.

>>539114584
Oh christ now I'm wondering if the generals have pngs for their standing around on the diplomacy screen. If they do and it's not just auto-generated from whatever they are wearing then fuck changing their gear. Now I need to check.

>>539149731
if defenders are exiting near it itll open the gate, sometimes i feel like the AI will close it on attackers on purpose

Will the next Total War be the first true AAAA game?

>>539149731
It's pretty baffling that in Mark of Chaos (2008) you can manually open the gate, and in this game it can be pretty janky.

>>539140962
why would it be mpfags fault some random battle map is unbalanced? why would they want unbalanced maps? I dont even think you can play mp on those random maps

>>539150213
it'll be the first AAAAA so $120

>>539144738
Spiders are great. I've started replacing my cavalry with the big spiders and they're 100% better at instantly deleting units when they hit from behind.

I think they are better than their stats indicate for some reason. Maybe something with their animations? Dunno.

>>539150514
maybe because many of their model can actually attack at once, just like the doggo.

>>539150624
Yeah, that's probably it.They're like doggos but better. And auto-resolve doesn't fuck them over.

>>539149916
>portholes
>it is
Literally no fucking way for me to replicate CA's work there since they are HD renders. Welp. Wait, maybe it's just if people set it to 2d mode. Okay thank god, 3d portholes and they are VMD based. I can edit the generals appearances and not have to match the portholes (even if 2d players will suffer the discrepancy). Medieval 3, save me from my modding autism for Pharaoh.

Rockstar games starts up a new series line. Grand Tactical Autocrat. Total costs of development match the Manhattan project. Wait a second.

Okay Geets 6 is 'only' 2 billion. IF it had been a match for the Manhattan project I'da laughed.

I think replacing ca with ai would probably be an improvement

ok so what? put it near where your peasants are fighting. do you also not use corpse carts or solar engines because their auras are limited to a local area?

There are rare occasions with the way my game is set up where their diplomacy spot will be a white rectangle, and also similarly their icon walking around the map is a placeholder Merneptah icon. I am using 2d though, and it only seems to happen on rare occasions where the ai has no living generals that turn.
>>539152157
I've tried them both now, they both give really good rewards, but both campaigns also ended in failure so doesn't really seem worth it.
>>539152256
I was going for something similar, seeing it as an uprising. It doesn't feel worth it at this point in the campaign though, because I overextended and was relying on my Vassals to keep my lands safe while all my armies are in Assuwa and Assyria.

Building Bretonnian brothels should give you some diplomacy bonus with Kislev.

>>539154965
Oh yeah I was just paranoid because I hate editing pngs. Like between the ancient egyptian style UI cards and the realism ones I am only bothering to update the ancient ones because the alternative is functionally impossible - CA did fancy rendering that my cheap ass tweak editor screenshot and remove the green (tedious as hell) couldn't match.

So when I release my shit if someone doesn't run ancient portraits/UI cards there's nothing I can really do for em. But if generals were unavoidable to have 2d portends I'd have been fucked.

>>539161249
needing to destroy enemy factions vs harassing them (in most cases) is the biggest problem imo
this is because of how close most of the settlements are together, and how the ai behaves
this just turns every game into a railroad kind of feel where you just go from one settlement to the next before the ai gets too strong, again in most cases there is always exceptions

I explained this a few threads ago but the basic idea is that doesn't actually force you to get good at fighting battles so all "challenge" ends up being on the campaign map which is extremely one dimensional and simplistic.

most strategy games are actually designed to be easy so people can beat them and feel like they outsmarted the game, but in other rts games like age of empires or warcraft 3 you at least have to sort of learn how to play in order to beat the campaign, especially on higher difficulties. on the other hand modern tw has so many cheat mechanics and ai exploits that you can fairly easily win battles while having no idea what half of your faction's units do or even while completely misunderstanding the fundamental game mechanics. case in point how many people are there that regularly beat campaigns on legendary who think cavalry is useless? even if you play with single digit apm and are totally clueless you can just stack up your cheat mechanics and steamroll every fight with your 80md zombies or 90 armor peasants or whatever unit you decided to crutch on. eventually you get to a point where you can use autoresolve, the biggest cheat of all, to completely skip what should be the main part of the game.

as a consequence all difficulty in a campaign relating to battles only exists for the initial turns before you can get your cheats stacked up enough. beyond that since the campaign layer is so simplistic the only thing the game can do to make things "challenging" is throw more fights at you, but since fights are easily winnable using your doomstack the challenge isn't real. the only thing the game can do to actually threaten you is to throw more armies at you than you are able to fight, but there are diplomacy cheats and economic cheats to get around that too. eventually you get to a point where all of the entertainment value the game was supposed to offer has been bypassed and you are just playing retard coloring book with the map.

It's so soulless. So goy'd.
If CA's next game is actually Age of Shitmar they might actually go out of business.

No need to panic, we all know what's coming.

I wonder how long they can keep 40k (relatively) kino.
That slipup with the Custodes was...pretty bad. Wonder if they just wanted some Blackrock funding.
Also the animations they've released seem aimed at Middle Age women? I'm not sure but I haven't seen any male MC's in them except for maybe 1 space marine. Kinda cringe.

>>539185262
>Hyenas 2
Which one was in development first? Hyenas or these games?

>>539184891
Is that pic said Shitmar art? Those proportions look awful.

>>539185629
Yeah that wasn't the best example. I just didn't feel like looking.

I can't believe Age of Shitmar got rid of the "willpower of the average dude vs. horrors beyond imagining" in favor of more Space Marines.
In 40k we have both, but in Age of Shitmar, you get picked to be a Shitmarine based on your bravery. So if you ARENT one, you're just a shitty person.

What a stupid concept. And the shitmarines respawn? What's the point.

They're supposed to represent France. It's in character.

This is legit the most difficult quest battle I have played so far in the entire game, like what the fuck.

>>539187135
I probably played it poorly and should have gone with a more dedicated anti-large army, the pic doesn't seem as brutal as it was because my ranged units barely suffered casualties but if my hag witches didn't aggro and soak so much damage I would have lost this 100%. Also, confirmed the giant spiders are one of the most broken units in the entire game, the way they surround your units and count as large with relatively high mass and high numbers, you are perma-stuck and getting attacked by like 20 units at the same time, plus poison.

Do you think you know better than the Devs, Chud?

You cheaters.
You download cheats off of the workshop and put them into a cheatlist that inside is full of greed and wickedness.
You fools.
Did not they who made the game make the ideal balance also?
But give as requests in the developer Q&A the things included in your cheats and behold-- everything is balanced for you.
Your obsession with what is suitable for a mod and unsuitable goes farther than CA intended and does no good for any campaign.
>But without my cheats the game gets boring and repetitive
To that I say woe to you cheaters.
You download units and mechanics and factions, placing them in your lists while neglecting what is actually important for a mod-- Balance. And design quality and lore accuracy.
You blind fools.
