Musicians are a thing but no purchasable equipment yet for units in the game yet.

In Warhammer, anyone else have a hard time balancing expansion speed? It's a slippery slope between expanding too fast and having giant borders to defend against two dozen rivald, and not expanding fast enough and then being the small fish in the pond.

>>168079257
Rome and Med 2 had the commander that stood off the side of the front rank of units. Empire and Napoleon had them in the centre with a standard bearer on one side and a drummer on the other. I think Shogun 2 had some kind of samurai leader in the middle of the front row too with Rome 2 also doing something similar. I haven't played Atilla but it's definitely something that has been present in most of the games.

What's better, Cataph's Magic or the magic overhaul that comes with Steel Faith?

Its fun as fuck

>>168080109
I was capitalizing on it. Archaon and I squish the empire from both flanks. He raised the north, I burned down Athel Loren and took the south.

We literally tore the Empire and the Vampire Counts apart together, but Mannfred struck a deathblow against Archaon and lead a counter-assault on Sigfried and Bearfucker. Birdman was the last chaos army left, and he went north to tear down the Varg. Admittedly he did a good job, the Varg have like, 2 areas now and the Skaeling took the rest, and since Skaeling are neutral to me, that's a win in my book. After that he decied to go die in the Northern World's Edge Mountains, though.

Given that they're a pretty big thing in the tabletop game itself and feature heavily in the in game art and background text, I doubt CA forgot, they probably cut them and might be a DLC. We've already got the magic banner mechanics and they posted some models at one point, pic related.
It'd be odd to have them permanently left out since they've been in all the previous TW games too.

Napoleon should be above Rome 1. But pretty much agree. Shogun 2 and FoTS have a seriously sick nasty soundtrack.

Most of the time, factions will sue for a NAP if they're weak. You can check their power on the diplomacy menu, the yellow and red bar shows your (yellow) and their (red) relative strength.

And yes, occupy those ruins. As Greenskins you can only occupy orc or dwarven lands. You won't be able to occupy lands from the border princes, for example.

>>168090921

I always wipe out any Beastmen who spawn in the badlands because the more chaos corruption there is, the harder it is to get your shit under control if you are having rebellions every 5 turns.

Not true. High Elves and Dark Elves massively revolve around naval warfare. In fact, I believe the HE have the greatest fleets in the Warhammer world.

Would certainly make battles like Marienburg much more interesting, as well. Redoing a few maps wouldn't be a bad idea.

Well, half-swording and mordhau are two different things. With half-swording, you still want to use the point of the sword to hit the enemy, you're just gonna have a hand on the blade to help you out. With mordhau, you want the guard or pommel to hit the enemy.

Why did they do Vlad dirty? He can't ride any mounts despite that obviously being bullshit. He doesn't do diplomacy even if you start with him, it's fucking Mannlet.

Vlad, lore-wise, would never leave anything for Mannfred to manage, he's a complete micromanage kind of guy.

>>168101743
At least he gives a bomb-ass EXP boost faction-wide, and doesn't he give his entire army vanguard? Shit's great for fast battles.

>>168102213
Not that anon, but it is strange Vlad wouldn't immediately take over after popping out the grave.
I chalk it up to Vlad being a free DLC that came out after the game was released. Mannfred is the default because Vlad wasn't out yet.

Still though, I feel like they should go back and change that.

>>168102453
CA have said their incarnation of Vlad believes that maintaining the status quo is sensible for now. I'm sure it'll change once Isabella makes an appearance.

>>168102670
I guess that makes sense. Vlad, even if he's not 100% right now, could bully Mannfred into giving him control over their faction, but not being at 100% means Mannfred sinking a metaphorical knife in his back is a very real threat.

Guess CA needs to add a questline where Vlad raises Isabella and regains his 100% and becomes the faction leader, then.

You know what?

I'd honestly release the Demons of Chaos before the elves in the first expansion and introduce some kind of End Times mechanic.

We fucking need an endgame asap. Now once you snowball game becomes a chore.

I see that making siege maps is the new thing. Some of these maps are really good. but quite a few of them are completely ridiculous giving the defender huge ramps. And some of these maps don't even look good.

That said some of them are pretty sick. And I'll wait for the full release of the mod tools and i'll give a try at making some maps.

Its tough though I'll probably just end up playing bretonnia since i've been waiting for them for years.

>>168105010

>>168104768
pretty much this.

Getting gud just means knowing what army comps are stronk. I just completed a long campaign as beastmen and I was winning mostly due to overwhelming numbers with breyherds because fuck it.

I had Kazrek and Malagor with the same army comp of 1 brey-shaman, 1 gorebull, 6 bestigores, 6 GW Minotaur, 3 cygores, and 2 giants, then I had Morghur with a brey-shaman, a gorebull, 5 poison hounds, 8 chaos spawns, 3 cygores and 2 giants.

Those army comps don't really seem "proper", but they won me the numbers game, so fuck it. I like having "fluff" comps for my lords.

Greetings my friends *tips boeotian*, my name is Prince of Makedon.

I train every day with my Kopis. I forged it myself, all steel imported to the Philippines from legendary Macedonian blacksmiths. I mixed the molten concoction with my own true Greek blood and prayers to Ares so that the sword could slice through a thousand persians. I've folded the steel a thousand times, to be sure it never shatters.

Every morning and evening I wrestle with my Megas Alexandros αγαπούν μαξιλάρι in the naked oiled style of true macedonian legends. I weep at the oppressive laws of my country, as my training could be perfected if they allowed the importation of catamites of Greek Blood to my home. Even with this hindrance I may soon feel worthy to wield my sarissa and kopis with pride. I am planning a boat trip to Macedonia itself (now called FYROM, obviously a Greek word meaning strength and glory) so that I may learn from the true legends themselves, even I may be nothing compared to those who toll the same soil the glorious Alexander once stepped on, but I must prevail.

ευτυχισμένο το σφυροkόπημα, my friends.

I'm not sure how to win this fucking campaign. Chaos has been gone for a while now but I was allied to the Empire for the longest time and didn't want to attack them until Chaos has been dealt with.

Now they're at 20 settlements and have a shitload of armies. I can't commit too many troops either because the stupid Greenskins have declared on my and they're coming in from the pass and the mountains to the east cause the Dwarfs can't control them.

>>168116196
They're all shit honestly. I don't even know what these great changes to units are supposed to be in Steel Faith.
Mod blows up garrisons like there's no tomorrow, even the AI can fight off rebels without any outside help.

This is a good thing imo. You have to invest a lot more into sieges and it pays off to do them manually. You also get large garrisons.

The unit changes are general balance + making every unit useful. The AI is better at surviving and is generally more dangerous.

Also, a good(or bad) thing about the mod is that it is being updated A LOT.

Man does this feel good...
Umm, I like the smell of burning gits in the morning!

So what's the deal with this whole "pike animation" thing? I keep hearing that it is the reason why pike units are still OP in M2 despite having bad stats?

Is it just a glitchy animation or something?

>>168116619
You just like to get one or two of everything heh?

I think they use their short sword when engaged instead of keeping their pikes down.
1648 and some other mods remove the close combat weapon so the pikes work.

Any recommended mods to unfuck Legendary? Having -5 leadership vs +10 leadership for enemies feels bad.

>>168116954
Rebellions happen when Public Order hits -100.
You can make PO go down by raiding and using agents.

>>168116832
Heh, I always feel uneasy when my army doesn't have a wide variety of units. I think that's why my campaign usually ends slowly.
>>168116954
Get an agent with some minus effect on public order and deploy him/her onto their territory. Also, for better effect, send a Lord there and start raiding.
>>168116915
Balance of power doesn't actually show the odds of winning/losing. It just shows how much of a disadvantage your unit composition has against the enemies.

>>168117014
What exactly do difficulties change? I mean is there any change in the actual AI between normal and higher difficulties or is it just shitty modifiers?

>>168117109
afaik it's mostly shitty modifiers. The Battle AI is just the same

Is it possible to have more than 1 force for Chaos? Jesus, this campaign is boring as Hell

>>168117278
Yes. When in encampment mode just recruit a new Lord and you're set.

>>168117109

Battle difficulties raise and lower leadership, and if I'm not mistaken legendary also increases enemy MA/MD.

Campaign difficulty lowers cost and upkeep across the board for your opponents, and gives you a global negative to diplomacy.

>>168117376
>literally the worst case scenario possible when it comes to AI and balancing

Christ fuck. Are there no mods to improve this?

>>168117310
Set for what?

>>168117081
>>168117101
I sent a handful of agents, and had a 20 stack raiding, for a whopping like -9 PO combined. Rip

>>168118395
AI gets public order bonuses on higher difficulties.

How the fuck does subjugation work in Attila?

I used to have a subjugate option when I conquered the last remaining settlement of a faction, but now I've had to raze 3 last remaining settlements (capital cities all of them) as the Huns because I can't subjugate them for some reason. I just want a region I can turbo-replenish in.

This is not funny. This is the end of my 300 turn very hard campaign cause this asshole clears 4 ambushes and I can't beat his army.

>>168119028
Wait, AI can use Lightning Strike too?

>>168119341
Did you try actually fighting each lightning strike? First stack may not have been able to take him out, but the second stack should toss his salad, especially with a death vampire on the field.
