Use cav with shields and don't use wedge when getting shot. You should make short work of their archers.

>>170007120
battle pilgrims and some shielded swordsmemes to soak up arrows, questing knights and some grail knights to fuck ship up, and maybe a few fire peasants to burn treemen down

I saw a vision of Gilles Le Breton.
He told me you were a faggot.

Is there a fix for your artillery moving after losing their target or moving as soon as the target comes into range? It wastes so much time waiting for them to break their formation and fuck up royally, and when it comes to needing them to fire instantly it fucks me up. Guard mode doesn't help, and toggling fire at will

also, what's the gobbo archers meme about?

how to take Mousillon as Alberic? My initial turn 1 siege failed (his army+garrison were way too big to handle with a mostly-cav army). Now I am in a back and forth here trying to bait him with ambushes (every time I wipe the floor with him but then he has a full stack and a half 2 turns later while my army is still recovering in my capital with only two towns to my name).

I can siege but by the time I can build equipment to take Mousillon he has his full army built right back up in just 3 turns. I can bait him out, but every turn he doesn't do anything I lose Chivalry bc ambush stance and when I do sucessfully knock him out, he just builds right back up again.

Now it's turn 25 and it feels like I'm already at a huge disadvantage here, and I'm considering starting over.

I've researched the tech required to confederate with Lyonesse, but the confederation thing is still red and so is asking them to join in my war against Mousillon. I saw what I thought was them sieging Mousillon at one point, thinking "fuck yeah lets go" I sent my army over to help out, nope, turns out they were just raiding and then next turn they all marched away with my general standing there taking attrition like a dumbfuck.

>>170008123
Fuck. Any other good mods? Is Darthmod for Shogun 2 alright?

>>170007951

Use the stop command, then let them fire at will. Usually solves most archer issues. When you tell your units to attack a target, they have to turn and face it and be exactly on point for some reason, before anyone fires. No more shogun system where any unit in the cone could fire.

Passive for the most part, but they WILL leave Athel Loren eventually, and when they do they'll fuck your shit up. Be ready. Keep agents in the forest to keep an eye on their stacks.

Assume a position of strength and exterminate them before they get a chance to exterminate you.

What's your opening for a Bretonnia Very Hard/ Legendary campaign?What I did was to hire two swordsmen and an archer and attack Marienburg on the second turn (just destroy a tower and the left segment of the wall, use your pegasus knights to snipe the mortars and harrass the crosbowmen, and cycle charge the cav through the opening in the wall with peasant archers and it's a pretty easy win) and the consolidating then farming the Greenskin's for levels and chivalry before wiping them out and taking Gossel, building up my towns with the Light Wizard and Construction policies, then repelling or invading Norscan, gut me up to nearly 400 chivalry in the first forty turns. Yeomen archers and a tiny front line with some trebuchets and knight cavalry just fuck up every early game army, especially with the mounted archer spam.

how do you change battle difficulty, but keep a higher campaign difficulty?

VH/VH is cancer because people hate you for no reason and it feels like artificial difficulty
Legendary has artificial difficulty but it's fun because it's a proper challenge run
Anything lower than H/VH is casual garbage, kill yourself

The battles are trivial on anything lower than VH. Even H is on the edge of "why am I even playing this", not that VH is actually hard in any way once you get used to it.

You want the campaign to make sense though, so it doesn't fuck up your immersion. Stirland shouldn't hate you just because of memes. You can't ever get an alliance with Nordland. Vampire Counts and Wissenland sign an alliance and declare war on you. Tree Hitler shoves his woody up your bumhole against all logic and lore.

Having to work a bit for diplomacy is fine by me, otherwise I never have to react to anything and can basically puppet-master the whole world. TW-diplomacy isn't really complex or hard. The problem with VH/legendary battles is that it promotes cheese. I can do that but it's much more fun to make thematic armies and RP generals/lords than to cheese with elites and lightning strike.

>>170009954
I like fun battles with armies with stories. I name my units and stuff, and VH+ battles don't exactly incentivize you to use lower tier veteran units, because they get wiped out anyway. VH campaign on the other hand means more battles, leading to more stories. The campaign map isn't really challenging to me, and having to optimize doesn't really hurt campaign gameplay, it's just a vehicle for battles anyway.

I have /gsg/ for map autism.

>>170008248
Man, that flame effect looks fucking garbage.

>>170009856

I can accept wanting to play fluffy armies

My only issue is that at some point, with skills/chevrons, even that becomes too easy vs the AI.

AFAIK the max bonus the AI gets for under the hood stuff is +12% to attack, weapon strength,accuracy, etc in addition to the minor leadership stuff. Which is quickly overcome with Lord's army buffs

>K'daai Destroyer: Remember how we said that this thing deserved a point to its own? We meant it. Don't get it into combat with: poison, characters with the dragon helm or dragonbane gem, dragon princes, or stubborn/unbreakable blocks, and don't let it overrun off the board. Otherwise, this thing will quite happily kill half an army for you. It's only downside is a lack of model and that its picture in the book is very vague. Fuck knows what it actually looks like.Shown as WIP in the latest Games Day. The model looks as if someone had covered Matt Ward in glue and had thrown him inside a bits box for a while.

It's lore is pretty cool, too. Chorfs saw other chaos forces use daemons and thought they looked pretty handy in a fight. So they went and made their own.

Yes, MADE, they didn't summon them or ask them nicely, they literally made a daemonic race on their own.

TRUE KING

>>170010684
The extra damage isn't the issue as much as the leadership bonus. The enemy becomes much harder to break, and consequently you take much more casualties. Also, two fresh lords with two nominally equal units not being equal bothers me. I mind less in gunpowder TWs, because units are mostly easier to break and don't fight to the death, and AI buffs help more in melee. I think Legendary in FotS is fun.

So as far as all the split up subfactions go (Clan Angrund, Crooked Moon, Von Carsteins, Bretonnians, etc), if I want the other LLs from the parent/other subfactions in the campaign, I just have to get lucky with confederating right?

I don't suppose anyones made a mod to let you recruit the other racial LLs as one of those subfactions, either before or after you've conquered the others?

I'm playing FotE so loyalty is a pretty big problem, maybe more than the actual battles, so I don't know if I can keep my dudes around without killing off Honorius.

It is easy mode.
For the first 25 turns don't worry about Marienburg, Elves or Mousillion. Muster an army as big as possible (don't worry about peasant economy as long as it's not actively subtracting money from your funds, it's fine to go 12/10) and then wait outside of your capital.

As the greenskin incursions pop up simply mow them down with auto resolve, and keep doing it until the event ends at turn 25 or so. During that time you should have researched all the peasant economy techs, don't focus on unifying and confederating, and by turn 60 you can have 2 maxed armies with some +7k/turn upkeep easily.

Is Empire just designed to rape you unless you follow a strict formula?

I took Grunburg on my second turn, got halfway to Helmgart, and Barbed Greencock and his 20/20 ??? orc army appeared in my land and started raiding. Secessionist turn comes up, they come from who knows where, loop around my army and encircle Grunburg.

Ignoring tripfags is the default, it's what they want. They want nothing more than for people to accept their little snowflake status and address them by their chosen names. That attention is worth a 1000x more than replies telling them to remove it.

You fundamentally misunderstand why people these days wear a trip, they're not just mindless attention whores, they're people who exploit a feature of this site to put themselves above everyone else in the thread, and only by telling them that's not going to happen is how we get rid of them.

Britain actually makes a pretty good fortress island if you manage to hold it. Definitely tough too. Camuldon can be reinforced which will stop norsefuckers if you manage to get your finances in order. Leaves just the picts and the Irish. If they both dont simultaenously declare war on you with the norse, you might be able to take one out while it sieges you and then reinforce and take out the other. Also, put the kangz in chainz.

If there are any friendlyish Germaniac hordes going through your territory, I would give them some land. They will quickly grow it to max slots and it will keep them from looting you if they're made loyal by it while you deal with other issues.

Of all these Skarsnik is unironically the best commander.

He is a tactical genius and is not afraid to get stuck in and take on the most powerful enemies, inspiring his boyz in the process.

If you're serious, I highly recommend you get some kind of upkeep increase mod. If you're doing Total Warhammer, I advise something like this:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=845029217

The worst part about Radious is that he decreases upkeep by like 80%. He loves how 'epic' the game feels when you can field like 5 times more stacks, but it ultimately is just too much. Once you get rid of that, Radious can actually be a fun goofy time if you don't take it too seriously.

>Of his retainers, Kōsaka Masanobu stands out as being one of Shingen's better known beloveds, in the style of the Japanese shudō tradition. The two entered into the relationship when Shingen was 22 and Masanobu 16. The love pact signed by the two, in Tokyo University's Historical Archive, documents Shingen's pledge that he was not involved in, nor had any intentions of entering into, a sexual relationship with a certain other retainer, and asserts that "since I want to be intimate with you" he will in no way harm the boy, and calls upon the gods to be his guarantors.

True, but this one is da best, just as Skarsnik is.

It's all of course very inconsistent because if he can take down Verminlords like that without even being afraid of them(he talks with one and threatens it and it gets scared) then why can't he just go up and zap away Queek and Belegar and be done with it?

>>170017836
You gain way less than 500 chivalry unless you rush the techs and that's not necessary, only about enough for the first green knight to take out Mousillion or something like that. And the levels are just good, you want to get that out of the way before you face the real threats, at least the quest.

How do I bait enemies from taking their stacks out of cities? I try ambushing and stuff but they just don't move.

I personally think they're going to add in the chaos waste nomads. Nomads in the far north, Dark elves in the center north, lizards in south, and High Elves in the east with perhaps a few colonies in the area between lizards and Dark elves.

Try moving around and setting up another ambush. Mind you, ambushes aren't a surefire thing by any means. But the outcomes for certain decisions seem to be predetermined (to a degree), so savescumming repeatedly on a single ambush (at a single location) is just a waste of time.

And thats how the fey enchantress got raped to dead on turn 8. The grail guardians were not strong enough to turn the tide of that battle.

Be chivalrous and keep cycle-charging. Louen can delete virtually every other LL, Feet Enchantress offers pretty decent support, Alberic belongs in the trash (meaning his starting province).

Why won't Lyonesse confederate?

>>170021676
Because they're safe. Drag them into a war with someone.

I'm still mad that they managed to fuck both of them up so badly.

>Louen Leoncoeur
Only one you were wrong about. I'd put him in the God-Tier, all he does is fight good, make his knights train to fight good and make good tactical choices. Khazrak could also Be in god tier or maybe a new tier where its just 2 because hes actually crazy tactical (which is why hes dangerous) and Brute force but not to inspirational unless you count threats of raping you if you leave.

Good thing she's not a person :^)

Any Gor who can control one of the largest herds amongst beast kind is inspirational amongst Gors.

>rides a griffon, a beast infinitely inferior to a noble hippogryph
You do realize even in Canon DeathClaw is better then Bequis and both are more or less the best of their respective breeds.
DeathClaw is a bit of an outlier to be fair though because hes not just a terrifying engine of war hes intelligent (more so then some orcs) and compassionate.

>>170022175
I don't think you understand snarky comments.

So is it only possible to summon the Green Knight 4 times per campaign?

Yes.
That's still 60 turns of ghost chivalry though.

MORE LANDS

>>170015767

The one on the right's got more steel but the one on the left looks like some weird fucking depiction of a divine entity from Pre-Christian Abrahamic texts.

So I don't know it's a toss up.

>>170015767
The right has a fucking demon face in the center of it so I'd say its blessed by Khorne.

This one weird trick makes Gelt the best starting lord for the Empire and drives Elector Counts CRAZY.

Click here to find out what it is:
+10 armor to all units factionwide

This is no shit the best change in the entire patch. Lore of Metal is still garbage and nothing differentiates wizard lords or legendary wizard lords from each other let alone common wizards but hey I have Steamtanks with nearly 200 armor and 15% ward save now.

Beat Bretonnian campagin on Legendary , Dwarf and Empire on very hard Empire ( empire 2 times). Time for orcs. 10 turns in I lost Grimgor army 15 turns in i lose game ??? Throgrim just takes all holds in the area and confederates everyone around me. After 10 turns it was like 2 my holds vs 11 his. He didnt even bothered to retake his starting province he just straight went to shit on grimgor. I started again and doin little better but still for me it's hardest start from all campagins.

i am getting my ass kicked every time i try bretonnia above hard

Is it better to make farms or tailors as Bretonnia?

>>170022713

Does 10 armor even make that much of a difference?

So how do I mitigate beast-cock as Empire? Construct gates on all my settlements I guess?

>>170022178
> implying eyebrows aren't subhuman evolution leftovers

>>170023149
yes

It's finally time to start cutting lads. I hit 100kg weekly average a week ago, perfect timing.

>>170023149
10 armor is pretty dank. Think of how much the armor of swordsmen or handgunners increases %-wise.

>>170023176
You always wanna get walls in every minor settlement no matter what.

>>170023149

Swordsmen have 30 armor.
Crossbowmen have 20 armor.
Flagellants have 0 armor.

You can see how this armor bonus can be very useful.

What should a Bretonnian army comp look like in end game? I've been rocking with 4 squires 2 halberd with 4 questing knights and a few pegasus but I'm getting fucked. I charge questing knights into ungors or goblins and they get fucked. Shock cav dies instantly trying to circle charge. And Tree Hitler just blitzkrieged the Fay Enchantress before I could confederate her. South Bretonnia belongs to the Reich. I can't even get money because sacking kills chivalry. Fuck, I feel so lost.

Should I do a very hard Cucksnik campaign or a Legendary Belegar one?
