My enemies are many, my equals are none

In the shade of living trees they said Athel Loren could never be conquered

In the land of vampires and necromancers, they said Sylvania could never be humbled

In the realm of chaos and snow, they said Norsca could never be tamed

Now they say nothing, they fear me, like a force of nature, a dealer in thunder and death

I say, I am Franz! I am Prince and Emperor!

We should have burned Athel Loren, all the trees and sprites, many years ago!

*shouting*

Enough! Montfort is lost, and our western allies have failed us. Where were the elfs last seen?

My spies tell me that they are massing in the west, we must expect an attack on Helmgart!

This is nonsense, no attack is coming - The Empire controls Axebite Pass. they are not attacking, they are making allies! At this very moment they consult Courrone, the Brettonians! The Grail Knights will crusade against us and Marienburg will be lost once more!

Ridiculous! Karak Ziflin won't stand for it! Our forces have sole military access to their foothills. I believe the attack will come from Middenland itself - they intend to travel across the world roots, and into the drakwald - the forest will revolt, and sweep down from the north

Thats wild speculation!

They cannot win back the Drakwald from the beastmen!

They will come not from athel loren, nor from the north - our traders in the south report that they have forged an alliance with Clan Angrund. They intend to circumnavigate the grey mountains and march their army-

Over the Vaults perhaps!

They would lose half their army to attrition alone! The other half would desert!

We must defend the Mondidier Pass!

And do you expect the dwarfs to welcome them when they arrive?

I suppose they will bring with them, an army of Forest Dragons!

Elector Counts, I dare say that would be quite a feat, even for the great King in the Woods.

current military situation in my game lads

if I invade anatolia i'll get buttfucked by seleucia 3-1

if I pull out all troops from Sicily Carthaginians might land in Sicily again (they've already landed 2-3 times)

also those army counts are full armies (3000 at least or combined half force armies)

currently I'm at war with macedon and seluecia, but signed a treaty with carthage

seleucias the biggest threat (90,000 soldiers at minimum) this is on hardest settings too

I noticed Eb 2 not having factions that are aggressive enough. Not a single faction is at war with another.
Then again, I am playing the old 2.1 version, hopefully they fixed it or will fix that soon (^:

My first campaign was Empire.
I got to Archaon and dealt with him but didn't expect the norscans and I hadn't walled most of my settlements. So I quit instead of chasing them around for forty turns.
Next game was VC, got about as far and was going to finish but I formatted and lost the save.
Also lost in that format was a 99% Eye for an Eye campaign.

New install I have a Stuntie campaign(the things I'll do for cheevos), but that is on hold near complete because the 8 peaks cheevo is fucked.
Then I installed a cheat mod and did the eye for an eye again in like twenty minutes.
Then I did the season of revelations straight.
Then I went to do a Chaos campaign but got pissed off by the battle difficulty slider being broken.
And so I am waiting for a patch.

Paradox are weird. The DLCs are often garbage but together with the free update changes they amount to a significant improvement to the game.

Train Simulator is quite different where the primary issue is licensing fees.

Wouldn't know about Hyperdimension Neptunia but anything with Nip origins is priced AAA regardless of its popularity.

Really makes you wonder how so many people were okay with raiding, raping, slaughtering women and children back then.

Compared to now, all we have is the occasional serial killer or murderer. Back then, literally tens of thousands of people would regularly raid and pillage in each country.

Did human empathy somehow evolve in the past 1000-2000 years? Or is it a case of nature vs. nurture? A question to ponder.

During the Mongol conquests literally every other week they would besiege a city, murder the old and the noble, relocate the artisans thousands of miles away from their home and take 1000s of women and children slaves.
After capturing Merv (~200,000 citizens) Tolui said that he would accept the cities surrender and promised nobody would be killed and no looting would happen and that everyone must leave the city if they wanted to surrender.

After four days of mass exodus of people leaving the city he ordered all of them (bar the artisans and plutocrats he already had) to be killed on the plain. 5,000 survivors within the city survived by hiding in rubble within the city walls but Tolui knew that that was a possibility and sent some squadrons back to clear up just in case. This would happen every single month for the duration of years long wars

There's simply nothing like that today, even with modern ultra high populations

Legendary Heroes or whatever they'll call it. Probably work like RoR, meet X requirement and you get to recruit them and they can't be killed.

Green Knight feature pretty prominently in the artwork, so he's going to be in the game in some capacity and we know he's not a LL.

If it is named heroes, I wonder if they'll go back to Bretonnias previous army book, they had a lot of named hero characters.

Do Grail knights have flaming lances or is it something CA did on their own?

>>167082314
Not that poster but technically.
There are two Bret starts, the primary Bret faction and Aquitaine I think. The latter doesn't matter.
The Green Knight is the original Bretonnian and would only slide into the main Bret faction. But Louen is already its King.

The third option would most likely be Moriganna rather than another combat lord.

I've not been here since Dec 2nd due to RL and even though I bought Wood Elves. Not played Warhammer at all. I was the lore anon that posted the army book stuff.

Now that I have some free time but still not enough to play (;_;) till late February.

A few quick questions
1. Should I update my drivers? I read prior to Welf release that outdated drivers are causing black maps, black textures and "visual problems" and updating was needed.

2. When is Bretonnia coming? 2nd week or 3rd in February?

3. What is this new feature coming for free with Bretonnia's "Old World Edition" patch? The fact they teased it implies its something we've been wanting for ages. Formations? Musicians and banners? Naval units Medieval 2 style?

4. Has the first warhammer expansion been confirmed delayed? I read in November they decided to delay it as they wish to expand them even more due to Warhammers success so 4 base races instead of 3 at launch and a map on par with the base games map to cover for this they expanded the free DLC and minor paid DLC pack release to last us till July/August.

It's from the secret online encylopedia links that you have to manually type in. We found a lot of stuff there that's since been removed/locked by CA.
Bret now has 3 LL's and 1 LH and 1 of the LL's will start in Bordeleaux aswell so its outdated due to Bretonnia being a full roster.

Pic related placeholder tech tree shape for Bretonnia. Implying the original plan was like the Dwarfs with a seperate tree of Military and Civic. May have changed since May/June 2016.

No doubt Bretonnia will have a loyalty system and be based on Chivalry though.

>>167080786
Army painter would be neat, but it's more likely to be some sort of "Legendary Heroes" feature like other anons have suggested or some sort of launcher/mod manager update. Naval combat, dlc becoming free is unlikely. They've also confirmed no new paid dlc alongside Bretonnia though.

The melee unit has one bronze chevron, so it's rank one. The ranged unit has two, so it's rank two. The sword icon is a melee attack upgrade from a blacksmith; bronze sword means a tier one melee upgrade, silver means tier two. You can also get a shield icon for improved defensive stats. Look at your buildings; something like a blacksmith will give units built in that city a bonus.

>>167087813
The mark below is weapon quality. Some buildings have a bonus to weapons or armor, coming in bronze, silver, and gold

I know that feel very well

CA insider here. Bretonnian full reveal tomorrow.

>>167087980
Thanks. I just took this city a couple turns ago and didn't pay attention to building of this city. Another thing is when i have a bronze rank unit with 30 men and I combined it with another unit, the rank gone, but some other time when i did it still remain there. So how does this work?

Guess I'm too dumb of the Beastmen Grand Campaign, I have so much trouble with money. These settlements are worth barely anything and the fact that you can't sack really hurts me.

How do I even get to Minotaurs and don't immediately run out of funds.

>>167088563
Units lose experience as they lose men, because you're replacing them with new recruits. It's a constant battle to both keep your elite units fighting and to minimize losses so they actually stay elite.

>>167080786
it's gonna be the world's biggest rickroll

>>167082816
So Squire and Men at arms are basically confirmed?

>>167088632
You need the building that cuts unit upkeep in half on your main stack. Once you get to the mid and late game, where looting a city gives you ~50k, you can start to make new hordes and move lords around. It's all about hanging on and abusing lunar events until things the AI develops enough to make tearing their cities down worth your time.

hey boss

Early game
>Keep to one horde, don't take fights you think you can't curbstomp quick, raze small undefended towns over and over (you can camp one of the estalian villages, every time you raze it they'll send someone to repopulate and they'll be easy prey, but it's a bit cheesy) pick growth every time unless you hit a big one (5000+), focus on a mix of ungors, gors, warhounds and harpies early game (+your minotaur unit and gorebull you're given for free)
Mid game
>Now you should have a big army and should be aiming to get minotaurs, centigors, another gorebull (two is the optimal number, you can spec them into what you didn't spec the other and tag team lords with them), maybe one cygor. Don't forget about the more basic units though, they're still kinda useful. Sack for money, get the upkeep building and make a new horde.

jesus the fantasy has really died off, amazed threads keep ticking over with historical shit.

>>167090742
It's coming back tomorrow, Brettonia announcement and new content.

>direct neighbour to ERE
>no line to the capital, no trade :^)

This seems like a really dumb mechanic/oversight on CAs part, it's pretty ridiculous for a historic title where trade routes like the silk road are featured.

>>167090742
This is the biggest content drought since the game released. Interest was always going to drop off.

>>167090742
Ancient Empires soon, my friend.

>>167090924
Yeah true, still remember when AoC came out and mot didn't even buy it and posts lasted a matter of days.
