where is the news?

Thanquol soon, friends!

>>542475984
what is this face trying to convey?

>>542476113
tired of toxic, entitled manbabies demanding they fix minor bugs instead of working on new content

>>542472425
Why isn't corner camping a valid strategy? The AI did it to me a few times.
Besides If you're being attacked, it's reasonable to retreat until you have a defensible position. If you're attacking, it's reasonable to goad the enemy into leaving their defensible position and engage yours.

CA Horsham status?

OUR ARROWS WILL BLOT OUT THE SUN!

>>542476113
tired of stupid, insufferable mindless consumers demanding new content while bugs keep stacking up and never get fixed

>>542475647
no such thing fren

>>542476376
Not that anon, but it depends on where you camp. If, say, mountains make a natural nook where you can guard your flanks, that's alright even if its a corner. However its rather exploity to you use cornercamping on an open field to exploit the invisible barriers.

what if aislinn is an alien

if corner camping wasn't a valid playstyle then CA wouldn't have added corners to the game

>>542476890
It's kinda scummy of the game to put me in an open field in the first place. There's so many good maps of every biome (even some like the desert that shouldn't) and some good non interactable geography outside bounds on the bad/boring ones, it makes no sense to meet out on the open field.
For some factions and some matchups it does. Or doesn't matter much because of unit diversity and formation options like the hammer and anvil. But circumstantial armies like basic frontline and archers or wierder factions like nurgle have no reason not to run to a valley or hill

>>542477605
what if the map boundary was a circle

>>542477793
A circumference is an infinite collection of corners, anon...

>>542477423
Then he would be called AYYslin

What if the maps were non eucludian shapes? A digon would prevent corner camping completely.

>>542476451
spies tell me they have sailed

Battle maps should be in the 4th dimension

Legend WON
Soitek LOST

Sex with elf women

>>542478673
If only there was some realm where chaos reigns and laws of nature do not apply and reality gets twisted... some kind of chaotic realms if you will

battle maps should be so fuckhueg you cannot reasonably reach the edge of the map to corner camp

battle maps should match the terrain of the world map where the battle happened

>>542478832
that's fucking impossible

>>542461240
this is him straight up saying you shouldn't even play the game at all because it's a broken piece of shit lmao

>>542479213
CA lost the technology for that

>>542478720
Legend has SEX with ASIAN woman which is practically ELF.

battle maps should use google earth to generate battlefields off of real world locations

>>542480838
you should generate these balls on your chin

>>542480402
anon, plz...

>>542480402
It isn't. The map system from old TW like Rome is the laziest way to make battle maps it was entirely generated from a heightmap with random shit being added by the generator. And it was scrapped because it could result in usuable maps where you can't fight a battle without surrendering. This was a problem in release Shogun 2.

>>542481271
>dynamic
The only dynamic thing in the flatass shit maps was where the trees will be.

>>542481369
>flat
lmao, the old dynamic maps had tons of height variance including actual hills unlike warhammer's pathetic "hills". 3k had dynamic maps and no issues with unplayable maps so let's see your cope there

I hate hills i'd prefer if maps were completely flat

>>542481483
Sorry to burst your bubble by 3K didn't have dynamic maps it uses pregenerated terrain and just changes the prop layout. You would know this if you played enough of 3K.

Pharaoh has the best battle maps.

>>542481605
3k matches the campaign map in its battle maps just like rome, which is why if you fight near a lake you'll see it in the background. unless you're actually complaining that rome varies props based on if you've built farms and such which is a hearty kek if so. btw i played launch shogun 2 and never had an issue with unplayable maps. apparently no one else did either because rome 2 and attila also have battle maps based off the campaign map

>>542481969
You keep on believing it.

>>542482027
i accept your concession faggot. no one likes shitty predetermined warhammer maps, get over it.

If you fight at river crossing and you get the river crossing map every time then it's predetermined. If you have only a chance to get the river crossing map then it's bullshit randomization and inferior.

What do they eat?

>CA is lazy because new TW have hand made maps instead of procedurally generated
lol

interesting, the custom battle screen has a whole map of china to choose battle maps from. let's pick a map on the eastern shore of a lake

>>542481597
what are your thoughts on trees

huh, there's the lake in the distance. wow, it's really cool that the battle maps actually reflect the campaign map, if only warhammer did the same!

>>542482586
wow a stupid dumb lake
this adds nothing to the gaymeplay

>>542482586
You are so close the actually understanding how this works. Unfortunately it's beyond you.

>>542482748
anon if you're actually arguing that old tw games had randomized maps you're wrong. play the brutii and invade the starting rebel town, the terrain will look the same every time. you might actually be retarded

>>542482460
>>542482586
Is China in 3k so small that the three province spanning lake just a small puddle?

>>542482858
every campaign map is scaled down in tw, yes. you can see across the adriatic from greece to rome in rome 1 and 2 whereas in real life you can't

You get press-ganged to Charhost of Chaos. Your responsibility is to keep the host well fed. Which LL do you join:
- Archaon the Everoven
- Kholek Buneater
- Sigvald the Macaronificent

How do we save TW from ecelebs?

>>542483006
i think sigvald is probably the best chef

>>542483006
Archaon. No questions. He's the most normal Chaos leader and he respects his human troops if they are loyal to him instead of the gods.

>>542483067
Sublime selection. Salaciously scented savoury savarins surely sate Slaanesh´s strongest seekers!

What tragedy. Tell me what the tragedy is. Tell me now, and tell me concisely.

>>542488318
wat

So, I had been playing Warhammer II since the Hunter and the Beast dlc, and had 500 hours on that game by the time I decided recently to move to Warhammer III for more races. I've been having a lot of fun, and don't regret my purchase at all, but I've been seeing a ton of negative feedback on the game, starting roughly when I bought it. I've seen some posts trying to summise it, but they all seem to assume the reader is intricately aware of CA's existing drama, so I haven't learned much, and certainly haven't noticed anything myself. In the 100 hours that I've played the past month, it just feels exactly like Warhammer II but with a few tweaks and more densely packed Legendary Lords. I guess sieges are a bit annoying now, but honestly I like "kind of annoying" more than "impossibly boring" as they used to be. TLDR: I want to know why everyone's so mad at CA, because I haven't noticed anything too wrong or out of the ordinary myself.

>>542488318
Of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

>>542488591
no he's a cannonball

>>542488897
1. Its become abundantly clear that CA has shifted resources to other projects (Alien Isolation 2, some unannouced historical game and what many speculate to be 40k). This angers people because many feel WH3 is not close to being done, and in a poor state.
2. Some pretty serious bugs are causing entire AI factions to not recruit any meaningful armies. They just sit there and get squashed.
3. General frustration with CAs lacking communication. Basically an eceleb made some videos all but urging his fanbase to reviewbomb the game. He (correctly) pointed out that in the past CA has only responded when forced to do so.

Is there a mod that confederate all factions of the same race at the start? Im playing liggers and dont feel ike searching for every LL

Is there a cheat that...

is there a suck my dick faggot retard

>>542496359
there used to be a mod called legendary conferacy in TW:W2, but it was not ported. alternatively use recruit LL mod then kill the faction immediately with unnatural selection.

grace was right about twg
no wonder she killed herself

>>542484018
You need Leadbelchers behind the Ironsides for a triple gunline

>>542497452
Doesn't really work because the leadbelchers hold the cannons much lower.

big autist

>>542497587
come to think of it, the way they hold the cannons is kind of retarded. Sure they are big and strong, but there is nothing to absorb the recoil. It's a fucking cannon, the only reason they work normally is because the ground absorbs the recoil. But the leadbelchers just hip fire. If they tried this in real life it would fly right out of their fat hands.

its almost as if something changed at CA and they had to rejig their plans

The higher-ups actively despise Total War. Its a saturated market. While it brings steady income, it "cant" grow year-by-year so investing it will look very bad to the shareholders. To them, the smart move is to divert as much resources as possible to other high-risk projects that may make a bank if they succeed.

Anybody else lower the difficulty from VH/VH to H/H in Pharaoh Dynasties? Like im on turn 60 and doing well but man it sucks having to deal with the administration level and having the enemy AI both being competent and having more forces than you, at least ambush stance still helps out a lot. Playing Odysseus btw because im not playing a sandnigger or seanigger

>>542502718
To clarify, the highers AT CA seem to think that.
As I heard it, SEGA is very hands off and it was largely CAs decision to make Hyenas.

thoughts? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3585590990

Probably not news to most people, but I suspect part of the reason why Tides is taking so long is because they're expanding the map (a bit)
They're probably gonna put Dechala in Khuresh and pretend the Naga Queens and the snakemen were in fact Slaanesh shit all along.

>>542504125
>They're probably gonna put Dechala in Khuresh and pretend the Naga Queens and the snakemen were in fact Slaanesh shit all along.

makes sense

>>542503432
Higher-ups at CA know that. Sega doesnt care as long as profit margin goes up. Hence they can be sold the idea of "new massively profitable game (x) in genre we dont have any expertise in" again and again.

>>542503272
I play on H/H. and I use cheats to nerf the ai's economy and the administration burden. And no I'm not ashamed of it, the ai is busted in the base game. Changing the game settings is a viable alternative.

I've been replaying Dawn of War Soulstorm recently and I've found that IG feels kind of gimped.
The only usefull normal unit is the Leman Russ Tank it it's pop locked to only two at a time for some reason.
Orks can field more looted LR Tanks than the IG can.

>>542505921
There’s no faction in 40k called the Imperial Guard.

Market analysis shows that they´re not popular enough, wont happen. Likely it'll be Imperial Guard or on a longshot Tyranids because SM2.

>>542506456
In campaign? Yeah, you rely on three things:
Basilisks to soften up the opposition, Leman Russes to tank (heh) and Execution-buffed Kasrkin to deal damage.

reminder that luthor harkon is cute and based and will murder you irl

>>542506608
>wont happen
Delusional

The thing with 40k is they could have a lot more freedom in in the initial races
Like yeah, we all know Space Marines are gonna be in there.
But in fantasy, since there is a set geography, they were kinda "forced" to start in the Old World, since it was the most popular. And from that followed that certain races just were not on the cards (Lizards, Helves, Delves)
But assuming 40k isnt the full galaxy (and I highly believe it wont be) they could put necrons or nids or something else in the first game.
Though Orcs and Chaos Marines seem like very likely launch factions.

>Xhe still believes in 40kek
OH NO NO NO NO

>>542504703
Snu-Snu!

>>542506792
Addendum: Also Ogryn to absorb fire and tie units to melee. But yeah, IG struggle with armor unless you bait enemy armor into ambushes, preferably with heavy weapon teams. Its much more difficult to them to just rush in and let their anti-tank infantry handle the job since they lack in mobile offensive AT options (Immortals, fire dragons or tankbustas)

>>542506892
They COULD, but would that be profitable? Using your reasoning, WH1 was in Old World because that was the most popular. WH1 didnt start in Ind for this reason. Similarly WH40k will likely start with generic, most popular races. They are a company: they arent looking to make a good or interesting game, just one that sells, and catering to in-depth audience who wants something different is smaller customer base than generics who will by any slop with SPACE MARINE tagged on it.

>>542507076
Wow.
This post made me feel unsafe.
Mods take it down.

All of the 40k name changes were bad but Astra Militarum replacing IG was by far the worst one

>>542507268
Then that begs the question, what are the most popular races?
Im genuinly asking btw, we all know muhreens are popular, but I dunno about the rest?

They could at least have gotten rid of the dogshit cadian aesthethic and replaced it with something more like the Solar Auxilia.

>>542507442
Dont quote me on this, but if I recall correctly the top four by sales are Marines, IG, Chaos Marines and Orks

>>542507442
the traitors are popular but daemons aren't, iirc

>>542507442
After the Imperium and Chaos it’s just fighting for scraps.

>>542506792
>>542507070
It hard caps Karskin and Ogryn to one each too.
I think having the Iron Harvest devs to Dawn of 4 will help IG a lot.
Just give them the ability to build sandbags and barbed wire, also some chunkier vehicles.

>>542507643
One Solar Auxilla soldier costs more to make than a regiment of guard. That armor pattern is void proof and the weapons are so much beyond normal lasguns that if the Imperium could give them to normal guardsmen they would have won the setting long ago.

CA released on their discord and reddit a notice that tomorrow the hotfix will be out, pretty early on in the day even. That means we may get the trailer this week, RIGHT? Maybe even tomorrow, a few hours after the hotfix is out? TCA GIVE ME THE FUCKING TRAILER AND DO NOT DARE DELAY PAST OCTOBER AAAAA

>nerf the ai's economy
I can see that but
>administration system
I actually quite like the burden, its also not hard to offset given the game rewards you a lot of food per fight, I think earned about double my food at the time I took my third settlement (after waiting out the stupid transgression shit with the faction to my North) and fighting their main army + the garrisoned army. What I do want to nerf however is the fucking confederation system because the AI will just refuse to confederate with you despite overwhelming them. I literally saved Agamemnon from extinction and he had 1 settlement, his capital and the lowest the opinion ever got was -20 for the next few turns. After that I just gave up and because our faggot neighbors declared war while I was busy taking out Knossos I just gave his provinces back while I took Sparta for myself. I like that the AI makes you work for a NAP rather than just giving you 1 for free like Troonhammer and other games in the series would do but they will never budge on confederating. Only reason I even confederated Ajax after whooping his ass is I had to issue an ultimatum after besieging him for a few turns.

>>542508336
I like the administration burden as a concept but it feels too punishing in the late game imo, because once you have a large empire and a few elite armies your economy starts to stagnate, because post battle loot and trade deals can only do so much when your food income is over -10k. I've been using mods that slow it down considerably, but keep the same effects, and it feels better to me.
>What I do want to nerf however is the fucking confederation system
I believe there is a cheat for that, I don't really confederate much though, and instead usually just take those 1 settlement factions by force, unless they are allies with one of my trading partners or future allies. I've been meaning to try out the bordergore remover mod which supposedly makes the ai's territory more consolidated but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

>once you have a large empire and a few elite armies your economy starts to stagnate, because post battle loot and trade deals can only do so much when your food income is over -10k.
Tbf, you shouldnt need more than 1 army full of elites and at most 2 backup armies of Tier 4 units from my experience, this isnt my first Odysseus campaign but once you have your initial area consolodiated and expand (in my case) through Thrace towards Troy and the rest the only issues you face are the seanig invasion respawns, really. Also I have about 500k food at that time that just sits there and does nothing, even now I think im almost at 100k at turn 60?
>I don't really confederate much though
I dont confederate much either but I feel like you should, at least, confederate Ajax, Achilles, Agamemnon and Odysseus in one faction to be thematic. I downloaded a mod that makes all characters immortal too so I can have Diomedes for example since he usually gets oneshot normally. Playing as Odysseus makes me want to get Troy when its on sale next time to try out the Mythos DLC

>>542510875
that would make it basically indistinguishable from total warhammer

>>542511301
I just like having lots of armies desu

>>542512253
I respect it, I probably would too but honestly they get so idle later on and since CA hates when you leave armies idle for too long by punishing you with bad traits especially if you stay in places with too high a public order, Ive gotten less into spamming armies. Usually after turn 100 I just have Odysseus, Ajax (if I get lucky) and Achilles (usually the only one down to confederate) run around and conquer the rest of Greece

>The issues with Campaign AI are unfortunately complex to resolve. We haven't been able to deliver an immediate fix as we needed to conduct some very thorough investigations into the root causes, but we are working as quickly as the complexity allows. We’ll go into that complexity below for those who want the detail, but if you’re just looking for the headline: we’re on it.

>Hotfix 6.3.2 aims to address the recent problem that we’ve seen where factions aren’t recruiting units into their Armies, and the idle behavior that’s stemmed from that. This issue with recruitment has been a highly visible problem since the release of Update 6.3, but this issue wasn’t caused by 6.3 itself. We’ve discovered that this issue has been present in the game prior to this update and affects factions where the AI is tasked with managing Unit Caps. We have found that the AI was building lists of units to recruit without taking caps into consideration, resulting in recruitment failing to occur and stalling the AI decision making process.

They're making a hotfix but still don't even know what the problem is

Depends on which special gimmick you enjoy the most:
- Orion can get 0 upkeep armies very early and safely by just sending starting hero far away and declaring war on all (minor) factions there
- Sisters can build strong ranged flying doomstacks, albeit they are somewhat expensive
- Drycha's Giant Hawks are ridiculously good against units on walls, despite their middling stats. Two units charging a target after another drops even Chaos Warriors to ~15% hp, routing them instantly.
- Durthu buffs tree units but thats about it

Does anyone have any tips on fighting (or getting him to actually fight) Attila in A:TW? I don't know if I'm wasting my time with this game or not. He and his fellow 6 stacks continually come up to my borders then fuck off back to desolate Eastern Europe every other turn. I have a group of 6 stacks positioned on my border, but he never touches them. He just comes up and runs away every time. Then every time I follow him out of my territory, 8-9 Hun stacks just coalesce out of fucking nowhere. Am I supposed to chase him, or just take over and resettle all of Europe while he pussyfoots? I think I might have to reload an earlier save because I just spent ~50 turns watching him do this.

>>542534324
technically bastillidon with ark of sotek is a snake unit

>>542538268
Yeah, like why not include them for representation?

>>542524931

Must be depressing.

>>542538935
Mommy...

Why are they trying to claim AI art?

>>542538650
If it was up to you, how would you include them?

The big item rebalance was the best change WH3 has gotten in years.

>>542539387
To be more fr they would have to be auxiliaries for Amazons, who would themselves probably have to be part of another faction pack

>>542538973
They’ve made some mistakes but they’re still doing much better than the base WH3 team. For whatever that’s worth.

>>542539418
Agreed, big shame the character trait rework wasn't even 50% as good. They must've smoked something when they've decided to buff the shit out of Disciplined and then removed Spiteful from heroes despite Spiteful now being at best a sidegrade to Disciplined anyone can get.

>>542539387
They are already in the game imo, they are represented as the Tomb Kangz.

The difference between them now and 2 years ago is remarkable.

>>542477793
>>542477605
The actual solution to corner camping is to have two different map zones, a 'deployment zone' that's as normal and then a much much much larger 'battle zone' where you can maneuver. And no, I'm not talking about the area between deployment zones.
Half the problem with TW right now is the maps are poorly designed, with no thought put into where the armies will make contact or defend, it's just a valley or a few trees or a hillside.

>>542539931
Is there ANYTHING that Drukeks won’t seethe over?

>>542540250
If they did that then there would be no reason to ever play Troy

I got a reasonable suspicion that the ones calling the Ai bug a "minor" thing are mpfags.

The proud Druchii have been wronged in countless ways. Here are a few minor insults I hold close to my heart.
>High Elf mage lords get greater conduit, Dark Elves do not
>High Elf stat passive, which was already better, was massively buffed to be almost permanent while Murderous Prowess remains unreliable
>High Elf hatred works on most Destruction factions, Dark Elf is High Elf only

Are they that brazen?

>>542540373
Whar happened to his hair ?

>>542540418
no the fix is to make it so standing too close to the white line gives you the same leadership debuff as flying when there's no ground units left.

>>542540627
I had a battle where cavalry were fucking useless because a handful of models got stuck on nothing in an open field, forcing them to walk in place, and the rest of the unit refused to go any faster than a walk despite being on the other end of the map. Brought them together post victory and it solved nothing. I uninstalled and haven't played since.

Welves are getting a new toy in the DLC tho.

I shed the blood of the Saxon men

God, I cant wait till 40k refreshes the discourse in this general and I can link the general to 40kg in tg

>>542543371
for me it's Inferno

I kind of like that they tried to make infantry more distinct in pharaoh; axes are good against shielded infantry, spears are good against large, swords are versatile, and clubs permanently damage armor. It gives a little more tactical depth than just looking for units that have the highest ap and churning out stacks of them. Lethality is okay, and only really shines when you gimp the range of archers and properly set up flanks/kill zones. It's a little more strategic than leaving them in the backline to arc fire or duel enemy ranged. I honestly wouldn't mind if they carried these mechanics into the next historical game. Chariots are cool, even if they weren't used the same as horse-mounted cavalry, but damn do they suck on any terrain that isn't dirt.

why do Fantasy fans find Shogun 2 so difficult?

>>542543583
based and charlemagnepilled

>>542543291
I don't play warhammer, even though I like medieval fantasy. The ip is mired in too much shit for it to shine.

>>542544101
wtf do you play then

>>542543936
Not used to the AI being that aggressive I guess

>>542542917
I said minor insults.

>>542543936
It's the COD of TW

>>542543936
they fool themselves into thinking that even playing legendary on the easiest tw game makes them good at tw, see cheatsfag and legendfag

>>542544174
Rome, Rome 2, Empire, Dynasties. I don't care for Shogun or Three Kingdoms. Britannia looks interesting, but also bad. And I've never touched Atilla because it seems like an absolute shitshow that also doesn't really suit my historical interests.

And while it's not total war, I do like bfme/rotwk for scratching the fantasy rts itch.

Given the opportunity, would you do THAT with Morathi?
Be honest.

>>542545058
>empire
lmao then you cannot be talking about buggy nonsense ruining a game

>>542543875
>but damn do they suck on any terrain that isn't dirt.
It's pretty cool imo. Really shows that a civilization adapted to it's local climate will struggle if they try to replicate their tactics in unknown land. Like how Hittite heavy chariots are super OP on their home turf but they suck dick on desert sands unlike the light Egyptian ones.

do the people who shit on empire for being buggy even play it? all of the bugs are on the campaign map and they're not even any worse than the ones medieval 2 has.

>>542545493
I suspect there isn't many people that play Empire on /twg/ in general. The period isn't made for plebeian tastes.

>>542545493
i've played the base game and darthmod extensively faggot, and you're lying if you're actually claiming that empire's battle ai isn't broken. even darthmod only slightly fixes it

>>542543875
Bay has such a nice faction color.

>>542545116
Yes, I would sacrifice her to Khaine and should would enjoy it.

>>542545116
Signing a non-aggression pact with her would be most invaluable for securing our northern flank.

>>542542263
Bugs like that are really common in med2

>>542543875
>Lethality is okay, and only really shines when you gimp the range of archers and properly set up flanks/kill zones.
that's what makes the battles so addicting to me, the way you min/max different weapon types to set up kill zones, and you get a lot of room to play around with different units and strategies

>>542546228
My strategy is flanking with direct shot archers. If I lived in that era Assyria would still be a superpower today.

>>542545329
True. And then you have the Achaeans with some of the heaviest chariots in the game along with the most heavily forested maps.

Faction recommendations:
Rome 2: Macedon
Attila: Western Roman Empire
Troy: Hector of Troy
Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei
Warhammer 3: Tyrion
Pharaoh: Suppiluliuma
Thrones of Britannia: Wessex

>>542546859

Squire hero is not being added in the DLC

Alright sending out Nkari solo first is pretty funny with how fast he is. I'm starting to get it now.
>>542528689
First time playing this race, I like to try out most of the units first. But yeah they sucked

>>542549415
Firstly, Slaanesh is pretty good and N'Kari is indeed an incredible Legendary Lord.
Secondly, you kind of picked the wrong time to play Slaanesh. They are due a DLC + rework within two weeks.

>>542549539
>is pretty good
What a understatement. It's the most oppressive and domineering army in the game if you have the skill to micro it. There isn't anything in the game that can win against a properly played slaanesh army right now.

>>542549539
>two more queeks

>>542549415
I really like slaanesh too their lore isn't great but whip nice to use on walled defenders and that super searing doom spell vaporizes units if it hits

>>542545569
this was the result of a poll I did. empire had the same play rate as pharaoh, lower than rome 1.

>>542545736
the ai was retarded but the only actual bug I ran into was that rarely a unit would route but not leave the battlefield becoming untargetable. in comparison in medieval 2 literally every battle that I didn't autoresolve had some kind of pathfinding jank where units would get stuck on a rock or something or flat out refuse to walk down a street in a siege map.

>>542549415
just spam hellstriders and seekers

Rate my boy band.

>>542550178
>literally every battle
contrarian med 2 haters are even more deranged than the dicksuckers lmao

I have never played Daniel but am pretty familiar with WH3. Any tips going in? Should I focus on one god or just dabble in each? I guess I dont know how any of the mechanics work

>>542550463
Yeah focus on one god(Tzeentch because of Intel specific promo parts that are better than others) and discover what suffering is.

>>542543936
Khorne is the easiest faction though.

Long victory achievements that I still need:
Skaven
Daemons of Chaos
Norsca
Tomb Kings
Vampire Coast
Chaos Dwarfs

>>542550684
You REALLY want to do the TK cheevo with Khatep. He got his big boy back and all it's gonna be fun.

I only played him a couple times and quit early. Shitty build a bitch ll

>>542545116
Yes I would take advices for her.

>>542551021
Those are all related to different assur that died while getting into Malekith's way.

>>542548794
I was talking about Slaangors.

>>542551220
Raping wood elves is the Beastman equivalent of consensual sex in the missionary position. Slaangors are perverts by Beastman standards, which means they only fuck pure-blooded Beastwomen, and only after a long process of getting to know her and respecting her boundaries.

>>542551220
I always found it strange that beastmen actually exist in Laurelon. Pretty silly that Morghurs nest is right next to their holy tree. And no don't say they don't know this when one of the most popular bretonnian knight quests is trying to kill him in his lair. If the brets know so must the asrai.

A reminder that the High Elves and Dwarfs had a mega war and that the Dwarfs won.

>>542550613
that's the joke

>>542551765
If the dawi won why there are still high elves around?

>>542551942
So that the Dwarfs would continue to have someone to look down at.

>>542551765
It was actually a decisive Dark Elf victory.

Reminder that dawi know they have been tricked by dark elves but still blame high elves for it. Sounds like cope because they know dark elves are beyond thier reach.

>>542551942
Baka. They left some elves alive because the grudge was settled, n-not because they were losing the war or anything...

The dawi took the phoenix crown from Ulthuan because they knew it belongs to Malekith. Same happened with the real Ghal Maraz.

Total dark elf love

Nurgle's followers are ugly and I don't like them

so how do you actually win the 1812 invasion in napoleon?

>using bows with no AP against heavily armored and shielded chaos warriors in the north
60 IQ assur strikes again

>>542553380
Have Tallyrand shot before 1812.

Need to go faster.
>>542549539
I was talking about the low tier infantry. Now that I got chaos warriors and soon chosen they can actually survive for more than a few sec. I can't deal with trying to control with a whole army of cavalry so i need at least some decent melee in there as I spam click the cavalry to disengage.
>>542550178
Man, are hellstriders really the best source of anti-large outside of the lords. Maybe the DLC will help with that, if it ever comes out

>>542543936
>why do Fantasy fans find Shogun 2 so difficult?

You have to use your brain a bit

>>542554242
I hate that speed is locked by animations, even with infinite speed there's a max speed for every unit

>>542551736
I don't think Morghur is related at all with Laurelorn (if you don't take into account the latest TOW lore)

>>542545493
Im old enough to remember when Empire released and there was a bug where the enemy would just never move armies over sea to attack so if you played as the UK it was just god mode. It took them months to patch that.

Morghur is a citizen of Bretonnia in the lore. Born to bretonnian peasants which explains his unconventional appearance.

>>542554441
Morghur's whole deal are his repeated pilgrimages to the big tree.

>>542541935
Alopecia strikes swiftly and when you least expect it...

weh

>>542541935
He was so happy making historic TW after Troy now he's back to the fantasoi mines. You would go bald too.

>>542555105
Yeah but the big tree is not in Laurelorn.

>>542551736
They just probably can't do anything about it. From the descriptions, his lair makes you go insane and mutate out of control way too fast to get to him, get respawns no matter what they do, and, well, he probably just digs his way out if they try to cave it in. Or maybe it just can't be caved in because muh reality getting warped ooooh chaos gods scaaaary.

>>542554401
they patched that out a while ago no?

>help a dawi repel rats

chaos warriors don't really do anything for you. even with mark of traanesh they're slow and they don't do a lot of damage. you should just go full sanic and cav maxxx. the only things you need to worry about are spears and you can shred them with nkari and a few exalted demonettes.

>>542560381
cav is dogshit in its own unique way in warhammer but i'm referring to the litany of bugs in warhammer, some still there. how's the gate bug looking?

>>542560510

>>542560610
is a valid argument when you make the claim that a bug like that made you drop med 2 when every other tw game exists yeah

I've dropped Total War completely, I'm currently playing Conquest of Elysium
My point is that Warhammer doesn't have an open field pathfinding bug
