A Dark Emissary from Albion who is also a pawn of Tzeentch actually makes sense thematically - they tend to get accepted where they really shouldn't, and the Lord of Change and Schemes is the perfect dickhead to be inciting the various races of the Warhammer world to do things.

OH FUCK
Quick /twg/ I some advice the elector counts cannot provide.
The last 5 remaining power factions are the Wood Elves, Dawi, the Greenskins, Chaos and the Empire. All our armies are to the extreme north and south dealing with Chaos and Greenskins respectively. BUT these assholes are now at eachothers throats.

If you help the Dawi, they'll look at their book later and see that you accidentally stepped on a dwarf's foot once and then they'll raze all of your settlements to the ground.

If you help the Wood Elves, they'll decide that you're too close to Athel Loren and decide to conquer your settlements and sacrifice your people to protect their forest.

The wood elf outpost mechanic would actually work pretty well for every other faction, but it would just look like a copypaste job at this point
Especially chaos could use something like being able to set up a shrine of some sort in province capitals that gives the replenishment that chaos could really use, and a place to recruit more armies from that doesn't instantly put them into infighting attrition

>>163924659
Difficulty doesn't really influence AI battlefield tactics too much.

>>163924592
The outpost mechanic could be a good addition to the factions that can't occupy everything. Empire making an outpost in a destroyed Karak to better defend their borders or to support an expedition would be pretty viable.

It might also provide a base for an option to return Karaks and so on to dwarfs as the empire.

The Empire of Man modder figured out how to make "return province" events.

>>163924905
I wish the AI battlefield tactics had a large range of effectiveness, and was partially determined by the rank of the enemy general, so assassinating their general made them more likely to do stupid crap on the battlefield as the replacement general flounders around.

>>163924905
I heard very hard battle difficulty actually unlocks some AI behaviour in Attila and Warrhammer. Probably some tiny stuff though.

PLEASE HELP ME TRVE VNDERSTANDERS
I have been running tw games on a 650m for the last 4 years.
>ran warhams at 1600x1900 on low settings with medium unit size and medium unit details at silky smooth 21 fps.
MY QUESTION
Will a 960m be enough to run medium at 30?
>inb4 'laptop? More like trashtop'
Laptop is only option since I need it for school.

>>163925906
How? How can you say that? Because guns?

What should I do post-battle to captives to get best traits /twg/

>>163926635

>Laptop is only option since I need it for school.

You can get a laptop that's good enough to do everything you need for schoolwork for fucking pennies lad.

Buy a cheap-ass laptop and save the rest to buy a big-boy computer in a few months.

anybody have any idea why my luminarks aren't firing after their first shot?

4 of them can take out a tower in the first volley, but after that no matter what I do they just say obstructed

>>163926694

I think you get the best traits by mixing it up.

Not entirely sure, my lords always tend to get only good traits and I just do whatever is most convenient at the time (get money if I need it, take on captives if I need it, execute if I don't care or don't want reduced replenishment etc.)

>>163926768

>>163926007
I'll probably get shanked for saying this but I really want a Total War set in Middle-Earth, with creative leniency to make it a fun TW game with variety. I wouldn't just want to fight out the war of the one ring...that'd get boring real fast. If events from The Sil were included somehow I think it would have a chance.

>>163926673

>creative leniency
[muffled Christopher Tolkien shrieking]

>play with friends they said
>it'll be fun they said

jesus fucking christ
It's boring as fuck atleast with my turboshitters, which is ironic because he gets bored of it too ...

The only times he fights is if he has new units and the preview bar is at around 2/3

If the bar is only a little bit in his favor he'll autoresolve it and yeah he wins the battle, but loses like half the army.

Always runs around with 2-3stacks at once autoresolving everything "because no point in fighting if the bar is full" and crying about how the AI is always just running away from him and never fights him.
He also always retreats if the bar is even or against him "I'll just lose"

And God forbid I dont help him out as soon as the AI manages to raise some armies to even the table a little bit

the setting doesn't offer too much more than what warhammer already does, and the map would be really tedious with all the choke points.

I have a soft spot for the setting. Campaign map would definitely take some work. And I think the sieges could be good if they were one of the focuses of the game...as we know, TW sieges range from pretty cool to complete ass.

>>163927910
>and gift each other units so we're both playing the battles

Wait you can split control of a single army and play battles coop with just 20 units ?

>>163927958
I haven't played empire since pre beastmen but it was fine back then

>>163927634

The biggest problem with a Middle Earth Total War isn't even that there's basically fuck all to base the factions and their units off of, it's that Middle Earth is empty as FUCK, almost all of it is basically uninhabited.

tfw no anime: total war

>>163928065
I've played Shogun 2 and Warhammer, you can do it in both of those. Just select a group of units, and look at the portrait on the bottom left side of the screen. One of those buttons will be a 'gift units' button, giving your friend spectating the battle control over those units.

I usually give my friend control over cavalry or artillery while I manage the core of the battle with standard infantry.

>>163928103
>tfw no TOTAL SWORD WAR ART ONLINE: ALFHEIM

It is very large and very empty at times. Other anons are right in that Christopher Tolkien would shut down attempts to to modify the setting a little so that it would be a fun TW. You have to think, around the time of LotR, Middle-earth was essentially deserted. Great kingdoms had rose and fell, and many wars had passed. It's what happens before that would be interesting to explore. But C. Tolkien will continue to be a autistic shitter and I'll just sit here and fantasize about it

>>163929524

Not really,

Out of those units your late-game stacks will only really use halberdiers, if even that.

Don't bother with it, you can get through the phase of the game where those units are worth using easy enough without it.

If you plan on keeping some cheap-o reinforcement stacks with low tier units around then it's obviously worth it for those.

Right, state of campaign. Parthia is gone but now the Colchi's declared war on me. I'm gonna stabilize the middle east, leave three armies there defending the borders and then I'm gonna move the extra ones to central Europe to not only defend it but finally expand to Brittania.

>In 2001, he received some attention for his stance toward The Lord of the Rings film trilogy directed by Peter Jackson. He expressed doubts over the viability of a film interpretation that retained the essence of the work, but stressed that this was just his opinion.[16] He voiced sharper criticism in a 2012 interview with Le Monde: "They gutted the book, making an action film for 15 to 25-year-olds."

My main gripe is the characterization of Gimli.

In the books he's basically the most dignified and proud member in the entire cast, there's also a big deal about him being eloquent and well-spoken, especially for a Dwarf.

Meanwhile in the Peter Jackson movies 95% percent of his screentime is divided between "GRRRR VERY ANGRY" and "Hyuck hyuck short person get drunk and fall down, very funny. By the way did we mention that he's short?"

But like you say, they're still great films.

Like the other anon I wish the single player was a more general campaign but I enjoyed the campaign that they have none the less.

I actually like the leveling up your fleet game play small fleet actions can be a lot of fun and saving money by not repairing a ship and rolling with a different fleet can be fun too.

there is a way of playing without the fleet progression where you're just given resources to build your fleet in the ranked mode.

but I'll go back to it every once in a while.

CA had two choices: Make an actually good TBS, good enough to stand as an at least mediocre game on its own; OR, do away with all the tedious spreadsheeting and just give us a smooth interface to use between battles.

IMO they picked the right one for a Warhammer game. I have fingers crossed that the next historical title will see real innovation regarding campaign play, but being realistic it'll either be Attila again (bad) or Warhammer again (acceptable but disappointing).

am i doing something wrong in attila? i started my first campaign as the jutes and took my initial army to attack one of the WRE settlements in britain, when i was laying siege the odds where overwhelmingly in my favour but when i fought the battle i got absolutely destroyed, my units were routing from single volleys of arrows, some didn't even reach the walls with siege equipment, none of the units performed well in a melee, the tower things killed like half my cavalry unit while it was capturing it, my general unit routed against a spearman unit even though i had all the capture point things

i can't imagine the game is supposed to be like this, what's the proper way to fight a siege battle in this game? i was just playing on hard mode, surely the penalties aren't that bad?

>>163943092
So its useless, thanks.

>>163943003
There is none. Get quarrelers.

Skelegates, if you will, Kharl.

Spears beat cav every day
Autoresolve lies as you can beat a super elite army with a horde one if you just autoresolve
cav will die to tower fire so download a mod to decrease rate of fire, or use a unit with high missile block
what stance were you in when invading, what was your integrity, and had they already taken losses
what difficulty were u on

>>163942920
I think you have to pay for the spacemarines or tau, I got them for free for the preorder bonus

>>163943420
i didn't know dorf could be vampire

I guess magic is actually pretty important for them then.

I just want to play Shogun 2 or Attila or Empire, but I can't tolerate the loading times after playing Warhammer and Rome II.

Fucking poorly optimized pieces of trash.

are beastmen furries?

>>163943432
I was in the default stance and i didn't take any attrition

i don't really know what integrity is, i've seen it mentioned in the menus and stuff but i haven't worked it out yet, i didn't see any messages saying it had changed so it was at the value it starts at

i was playing on hard difficulty, i had battle realism on if that makes a difference

i think the roman units might have been elite or at least decent quality which could explain why the actual fighting went poorly but the routing on my units was shocking

>>163943775
You're a poorly optimized piece of trash. Your mom released you too fucking early.

Someone recommend me a faction for Warhammer for my first hard campaign. I've only done the Dwarves so far.

Early nordic units are really shitty

Yeah, he kidnapped a human playwright and had him write down his story. The novel "Skarsnik" is, in-universe, another Empire guy trying to fix up the rambled writings of a playwright who went insane, but who also happened to have met Skarsnik and heard every detail of his story.

What's that first mod supposed to be, mate? Everything else seems obvious.

>>163942528
You might like a few cosmetic mods. Maybe, maybe not. I like some unit variations and to make Sylvania look creepy on the map.

Cataph has a magic mod that I think is pretty necessary, or otherwise magic is crap on higher unit sizes. I like to use Proper Combat Mod, but it ain't necessary if you think the speed of combat in Warhammer is fine.

Level 60 general just for the fact that you can get 2 skill points at level 2, to make up for the lack of skill points for level 1. It's just 1 skill point per level after that.

Vlad von Carstein faction leader for Vampire Counts.

I won't recommend it just yet, but after a few campaigns, you're going to want Instant Quest Battles so you don't have to do anymore "send agent you don't have to other end of the map" quests just to get your items for your LLs.

In Atilla, if the enemy attacks there isn't a time limit, as I can't see one and I'm outnumbered

>>163941762
That's a contradicting statement

Does Darth Mod for shogun 2 change the stats of named generals?

Was playing a campaign with my brother and he charged my general with his general, I left them and looked away for a second and when I looked back my general was pretty much dead and his was pretty much unscathed.

Both were level 1.

>>163945910
No, the answer has two parts and answers two different questions.

You think its bad now with the wood elves?

Wait till an elven faction wins the north america bowl and sail with 13 doom stacks towards the empire

What is life like in a norscan village? provide fan art pls

>>163946191
Fun to be honest


>Dark Elves finally win the north america bowl
>Suddenly Wood Elves invade and wreck their shit.

>>163946487
Depends. It's an ok life in some of them. So ok they get imperial visitors sometimes. That would mean the norscan village isn't extreme chaos worshippers though.

Others are pretty violent.

Like this, but more grim, damp and spiky

Henry II of Champagne the King of Jerusalem being said to have died after examining his troops from a high tower, getting distracted by his pet dwarf and falling out of the window.

I'm playing as the Dwarves and I'm allies with Zhufbar, and we're currently at war with multiple factions including the VC. The VC just came to me and offered to become my vassals for peace, what happens with Zhufbar if I accept?

Rifa Al-Tahtawi was one of the Egyptian men dispatched to Paris after Napoleon's occupation, in an effort to discover how the Europeans had outstripped the Arabs in science and military doctrine. He was very impressed by French values of equality and democracy, if a little bewildered. One particular line has always stuck out to me as a great example of this in his reports, and never fails to make me chuckle:
"The men are slaves to their women - regardless of whether they are pretty or not."
