alright I just purchased the humble bundle just for this game and apparently I'm missing a shit ton of DLC

I heard TW:W is pretty much done and there won't be more new factions but they are working on a second game and it's going to have tomb kings which is cool because they are objectively the best faction. Is the second game an overpriced expansion or is it a new, full game? Is it going to have abusive DLC?

>>168860627

Nah, AI can't into sieges.

You can fend off one full stack with the garrison only in Legendary too. Sometimes even two

>>168860715

It's gonna work just like Rome 2. It had Attila and Charlemagne, which are sort of standalone games

The only difference is that this time they are going to try add the factions of the new games into the Vanilla Grand Campaign. Unsure if they will manage, there are many problems.

>>168861642
>>168860715
The idea they are going for the "trilogy" is that the three can be played separately. But they are meant to all combine into one gigantic map if someone buys them all. They are in essence standalone expansions.

Apparently CA is still working out the technical issues in that regard, but it is definitely something they want to have.

And honestly, I don't see why the second expansion would have Tomb Kings from the get go. It is more than likely going to be Lizardmen, Delves, Helves, and Skaven (if we're lucky). Don't see how they would include the Kings if they are on a completely separate Continent.

>>168860715
>And it will have Tomb Kings too

no, that'll be the third game

>Auto-resolve heavily in my favor
>Lose all my elephants

Roman fucking shits have mastered the art of killing them only through auto resolve

>>168862335
The thing with the Tomb kings is with where they expand the map you could honestly do them with either expansion.

That said can seem them being added in with Lustria, I don't have it on hand but if you look at the map all it would mean is the Lizardmen get more land vertically assuming the play area is going to be like a big square bolted onto the existing map.

>>168862775

Kangz will be a race pack for the second game, like B-Men and Welves.

Vanilla will be Helves, Delves, L-Men and Reddit Rats, so if they do any race packs, they've got to have Kangz in there.

Especially if the original assumption is true, that the third game is devoted to Chaos.

So lads, how would you implement naval combat into TW:WH? Based on the factions present, there is obviously a need for different naval strategies between races

>Greenskins
All about ramming and boarding, little/no ranged units. Think Rome 2 naval combat

>Dwarfs
Ironclads like FotS, Submarines as powerful ranged boats that are vulnerable to being boarded/rammed, and some sort of gyrocopter carrier that allows the deployment of gyros, but is very slow and needs to be babysat (if it dies so do the gyros for game balance)

>Brettonia
Based on what I've seen posted here on their navy, these guys should be rocking age-of-sail ships that good all around

>Vamps
These guys have the potential to be interesting, given the amount of fliers in their roster. Perhaps they just have fliers that work similarly to land battles, only they land on enemy ships/attack other flying units. Or they could work like the carrier idea for the dwarfs. Vamps would obviously be based on having a swarm of fliers deal with enemy ships, with skeles boarding to help out

>Welfs
???

>Warriors of Chaos/Beastmen
Both are hordes so I'm not sure how you would do navies for them. Chaos is going to have to be able to sail at some point in the future of TWWH, otherwise the new world will be chaos-free

>Magic
No idea how CA should implement this

Would be at a halfway between Brets/Dwarfs, having high tier ships that are steam powered, but some lower tier ships as well. Should have ranged ships utilizing cannons and handguns. Basically taking Steam, Steel, and Gunpowder to the seas

well the empire would be much better if it had more buildings to build on the campaign map and actually functioned like a rome 2 or attila function instead of a barebones tech demo.

Like it would be cool if you could build supply depots and roads or markets or anything else for that matter to actually specialize your provinces instead of just making Money provinces and Military provinces.

>>168867285
beastmen were initially created when the forces of chaos first went nuts and men were merged with animals/vice versa, and their hobbies include thoughtless pillaging of anything remotely civilzed, shitting, raping, eating flesh, and more shitting. Right there you check 3 of the 4 chaos gods' boxes (murdering for khorne, shitting for nurgle, and the obvious for slaanesh)

Worth noting that it wasn't a one-time thing in ages past, beastmen are still randomly born even to normal people, at fairly regular rates. The process of the Gave, unless it was retconned, is still the biggest creator of beastmen forces, after of course the normal means of reproduction.

So the indirect mutating corruptive effect is ever-present, and the result of it leads to the beastmen who in turn spread corruption directly.

How do you build Vlad? People recommend getting lightning strike as fast as possible but that skill is not that fun, it's just borderline OP.

I usually get the +10% movement thing, I get a couple of spells like raise dead which may not be that good and then I give him armor and damage.

Am I doing it wrong? It's my first time playing this game.

>>168869927

You're looking at the total extent of the chaos invasion in the south. It's nothing to worry about.

>>168870257
generally the way I build characters w/ any of the factions is

>blue up to lightning strike
>red to boost relevant units
>rest in special options at top of tree
>final points in personal combat skills

picking mounts where relevant. With VC's it is usually worth it to pick the invocation of nehek cooldown reduction/lore of vamps passive/the hunger, as those all greatly increase the survivability of your lord/army right off of the bat

>you can have different MP and SP costs for the same unit for different factions.
Huh, neat.

>>168870257
I play just for fun, and build him entirely as a super combatant, all points to combat and none in spells.

I hate how the ai always runs away from powerful armies and completely avoids attacking settlements with upgraded defences. It would be nice if Orks, the Norscans and maybe Chaos would be more aggresive and engage in battles even if the odds were slightly against them.

>>168870526
Yeah that seems to be the best way to build a character. Lore of vamps has some cool spells but the best one is probably the invocation of nehek.

I only have to invest 1 point into lightning strike right?

>>168870939
Yeah I always do that with Grimgor, I try to make him super strong but Vlad has some strong shit like insane regen and ignoring those perks feels like a waste to be honest.

isabella

>>168874951
dogs are better at damaging artillery; harpies are better for drawing artillery fire

flying units can be micro'd out of a volley of most ranged attacks while dogs will probably take some hits and possibly losses

flying units are also better for mid-battle flanking; dogs tend to need to be micro'd to weave through ranks to hit where you want to flank

>>168874951
you need a gap in order to get your dogs in the pocket, while harpies force them to put a unit on top of their cannons to guard it. and if they don't then you can knock their cannons our or at least distract their ranged.

It's kind of like how you still take Vamp attrition when you've wiped out the WC and march through Sylvania. The land is permanently cursed and you will never be able to get it to 0%, so I think its the same kind of thing with welf land once you remove them.

>>168877825

Start playing the game without DLC. You get the additional races in the grand campaign anyway, you just can't play them.

If then you like the game after a few completed campaign and want to play something a tad different, yes get the Beastmen and Wood Elves DLCs.

Beastmen seem the shittest DLC ever but they're surprisingly incredibly fun to play.

>>168878196
it also unlocks overcasting for some spells (many have access by default); and I think it also reduces miscast chance on overcast?

>>168878310
it doesn't unlock overcasting for any spells, and the cooldown reduction doesn't effect overcasts. Its not really worth it unless you know you are going to be using a spell a whole lot

>>168878212
It may help to play VCs as your first game. Their troops don't suffer from fear (and don't tire I think?) and don't rout so you can just build a big death ball of...death and roll it into the enemy. The battles are pretty basic once you get used to using some tactics. Charge into enemy flanks with your horsies, make your hitty dudes walk up and hit the enemy, get some casters to smash the enemy lines, harrass units that are on flanks with horses or bats etc

And use pause a lot. Pause and issue commands, turn it on half speed as your guys are crashing into the enemy so you can see if anyone is winning or losing. Try to pull out units of hitty dudes that are low health. Etc etc, just apply common sense military tactics that you think might work.

Good luck!

why don't more of the epithet traits have bonuses tied with them like the ones for night gobbo shamans?

So, as I figure, fast expansion is not a good idea, right? I started my Empire campaign confederating provinces as soon as I could and quickly going to war with Vampires, and by turn 30 my Empire was big, but plagued with corruption, low income, overstretched and sub-par armies, beastmen, gobbos, ruins, unrest, horrible relationships with other provinces, and vampires are still there and laughing.

Took me another 20 turns to even start fixing things, sweet sigmar.

here's a tip, you can get the first city pretty quickly by storming it right away. just sacrifice two goblin units to tie up their archers as the rest of your units use the spider to punch through the gate and rush the square.

You're a goblin, think of sneaky plans, and use ambush troops and be a git.

I understand CA's limitations, but I'm so fucking sad it doesn't look like that in the game

>>168885150
No they are just very traditional if it ain't broke don't fix it types.

Shit stays in the prototype stage for centuries before they start getting used to it and implement it.

And if you try and go beyond the engineering guilds and strike out on your own they shun the shit out of you.

One engineer did that and just took the slayer oath and kept making shit to piss them off.

GW had templates in the back of the old O&G army book for people to trace and use.

>>168885232
They said they have, and by most indications they actually did, but there are always reports of people still getting fucked over by it.

Think Elven shit only steered towards engineering instead of magic.

These guys are old, live for a long time. They have time for having things tested, tried and true.

Plus, they live underground most times. An experiment gone wrong can end up destroying a big chunk of a Karak. Not saying nowadays it's justifiable, but as far as culture adaptations go it's pretty understandable.

>>168885218
this is bullshit right here

>>168885150
it's not that they are bad. it's that if the ancestors didn't use them, then they are not good.

in truth, Dwarfs ARE inventing new stuff. they send young brash Engineers to Nuln, where they work with umgi, build reckless untested stuff (which mainly killes umgi if it explodes, instead of valuable dwarfs), get the need for invention out of their system, and also sometimes make stuff that works, which may be incorporated into actual Dwarfish engineering once it's tested enough by umgi.

If its only 1 character, why not?
We already have orc warboss with Nagash helm and some other unique snowflakes.

>>168885587
you do realize that all that Dwarfs have left is still more than Empire ever had on the peak of its power, right?

Empire is nothing more than a shield against chaos marauders and northern greenskins, they are basically uplifted barbarians. also used to let young engineers test stuff, because who cares about some dead umgi.

Going by the fluff, dorfs don't steal inventions. It goes like this.

>dorfs scoff newfangled inventions
>start falling behind a bit on tech
>umgi come up with something amazing but flawed
>dorf scoff at it but are curious
>humans work out the kinks decades later
>dorfs get jealous, butthurt
>this butthurt turns into a grudge (thankfully not a violent one, just a "we can't let those fucking manlings out-do us!" grudge)
>they come up with something better
>start to stagnate, return to step 1

>>168885587
They get by, but do not thrive. The entire reason the Empire is in its current state today is because it's growth was severely stunted due to a prolonged war with the welfs shortly after Sigmar's reign.

>>168885767
It's like the stunties counter the Welves obscenely because CA can't properly code over rules from the tabletop.
