Had like 2 units of naginata monks and some yari ashigaru hold off 2 whole stacks in a shogun 2 siege before.

The battle went down to the last single fucking monk, who was all that I had left and was holding his shit against like 150 dudes scattered across several really damaged units.

I thought it was over for sure, but he was somehow fucking their shit up.

Then warcry came off cooldown.

And they fucking routed and I won.

1 Motherfucking monk vs 150 dudes.

I was pissed off because the monk unit got destroyed after the battle because there weren't enough people left in it.

Infantry do shit damage against minotaurs. They are only there to tie them up so your short-range units can shoot them until they fall over. Use Quarrlers to snipe out their wearker archers, and a line of stretched thunders behind your infantry to shoot the minotaurs.

Slayers are garbage against cav because they have no charge resistance. Same thing with minotaurs. They will get stomped during the charge, and never recover. They are an anvil, that the dawi just don't need. Better to superior firepower and drop them from range rather than shortening your line for units that are a liability.

yeah I don't think you're using slayers right.

by the time you might wanted to have flanked a unit with longbeards Slayers would've reached them already and have them down to half hp.

Also if cav decides to change target your longbeards can't really do anything to catch up to them.

Medieval 2 SS as Sicily against the Fatimids. Two full stacks of mine vs three and a half of theirs. (but because of the retarded system in Medieval 2, my only options were to either let the braindead AI take control of it or let it sit at the edge of the battlefield and have units trickle in as room opened up in my army.)

Didn't end up needing the reinforcements but fuck it was close. Every unit was half strength or less by the end of it.

Woodelfs have a skill that gives -4 Siege holdout to an enemy settlement, I didn't even wait one turn.

Also I didn't knew that with the broken range units, explains a lot in this campaign. The siege was a lot more difficult than I anticipated after I saw the balance of power.

I have a horrible feeling that Araby will be relegated to a faction with Empire units or just erased from existence with geographical manipulation and 'lol Tomb Kings killed them all'.

But damn if I don't want them. Even as a non playable faction they would be fun to crusade against as Bretonnia or Waaagh through with Orcs.
I'd love to see a proper Dogs of War DLC to flesh out Tilea and provide more RoRs for the other factions as well. Hopefully the success of TWW will give them the incentive to work on material for the less glamorous factions.

Good.

>>174005508

>>174005421
Don't forget that Old World launched with some unplayable factions, namely Norsca and Bretonnia, having unique rosters. If the second game is similar in scope, I think it's not unreasonable to assume that several minor factions will get some unique stuff as well.

>>173998217

Using http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Khazalid, I get "Dreng the Urk", with Dreng being translated as "Slay in combat".

>>174006175
All of Norsca's stuff was in the Chaos roster, too, and Bretonnia was always intended to be fully playable down the line.

I mean, we can hope for Araby to get the same treatment but I really, really wouldn't expect it. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment and all that.

No way dude, I think they are aware that they would take MASSIVE criticism from spergs on youtube comments and their forums that the brown arabyan people are notgerman empire clones.

It would be really bad PR for them, I think they will give them reskinned human units with slightly tweaked stats and maybe one cool unique unit like camels or something.

>>174006813
It would be a pretty obvious oversight. Sure, you can pass off people called Border Princes or Tilea as Empire clones and only a small fraction of Warhammer fans know about Dogs of War. However, even normies with no lore or history experience are still going to expect sand people when they fight a faction called 'Araby' in the desert.

No, you throw the dawi out there in line and then fire over their head at the monstrous units with things like thunderers. Slayers will just get destroyed from being shot in the back or charged.

I could definitely see that. Give them spearmen/scimitarmen/bowmen/horsearchers/lancers and then some elites and maybe an elephant. They would only have to make some armor that all the units could share and no new animations to minimize cost. Depending on how the game sells, they could decide to expand them to FLC/DLC down the road.

Take advantage of ambush stance. Also, if the enemy goes on a forced march and you attack them, you auto ambush them.

Is there anything more satisfying than seeing your handgunners/thunderers delete a unit in a single volley? I don't think there is.

How is it still alive

>>174007582
I mean, I do get why most Dwarf players think Slayers are shit.

They're the only dwarf unit you actually need to babysit for it to do well, which isn't something your used to if your ranged units can actually fuck up cav in an extended fight.

That's also not really how they come across either, being naked unbreakable bezerkers who want to die in battle, in fact a lot of the time in the lore they just get instantly killed by archers.

But if you take the effort to micro them into the right kind of engagements (they're even faster than nasty skulkers, so they can avoid anything non-mounted) then they can fuck shit up.

I wouldn't even say that, they just have to work differently.

With other factions you have to protect your ranged units with anti-large, charge defence units who will always win, or atleast trade favourably with cav.

With Slayers you have to wait till your tanky ranged units get charged and then go in with a counter-charge & absolutely demolish cav.

Compared to other anti-large shit like Halberds Slayers have very good charge bonus so if they charge a large unit they have 88 melee attack & 98 weapon strength.

>require micro/babby sitting

>will get fucking deleted by missiles
>in extended melee even against large/monsters they'll lose a ton of models
micro/ babby sitting can prevent this though. If you charge engaged large units with them it's never usually an extended combat and they're the only unit dwarves have that you can send at enemy units who will actually catch the unit (causing all nearby ranged units to flee as well due to skirmish mode) and will massacre the unit in seconds.

I do think they're too expensive though. Ungrims discount should really be their standard price.

They're absolute dogshit in siege offence as well.

>>174017164

I don't believe those sort of stats are tied to anything visual,

>>174015935
Do you want to use them in a way in which they'll probably get engaged by enemy infantry? If so then they're pretty good. Also nice to have as back up for units when the lines get whittled down.

If not then just stick to normal quarellers for the cheaper cost/skirmisher on skirmisher action.

>>174017269
Yes it does. Watch actual units with shield getting shot at, they hold their shields up.

You have to turn melee mode on for them to deflect missiles.

I've actually been wondering, if you wanted to be autistically micro intensive, could you swap to melee in-between volleys for the missile parry?

If you lose a full unit you sometimes get 'em back. I'm not too sure on the exact details though.

The big problem was their moral, they have half that of goblins so they spend more time running away and being chased down than fighting.

If they had better leadership support it would have been more even. but even then i was surprised just how well the Goblins did.

Like for the most part they attacked in small groups that where surrounded by the peasants so they had every disadvantage going in.

Maybe it has something to do with the attack animations? If goblins attack faster than peasants do, they can stagger 'em and prevent 'em from getting off attacks.

Total War in general does early to mid games very well but still hasn't made end game well yet. Hopefully they get better at it.

I was thinking of playing S2, but I'm pretty sure my PC won't be able to run battles with huge unit size well, M2 battles with huge unit size can get really bad, especially if you have units with 252 soldiers or similar, I do run it with everything maxed though, maybe if I lowered quality, it would run better.

Is there much of a difference between huge and medium in S2? I've heard that huge is actually unbalanced.

>Cygors

Holy shit thos guys are rape machines because of their huge ass projecticle. Try and spaghetti line against them and get rekt by minotaurs. Try and bring artillery to bring them down? They have a million health because your arty always misses or is shit.

Would massive invasions of daemons make the End Game better?

>>174022723
of course

The best way to avoid naval battles is not to have navies.

>>174021137
What's the matter, don't like eye catching combat animations?

The Empire is really lackluster. If it's another VC thing I'm gonna be pissed

It's gonna be another VC thing. CA has proven that they prefer VC over all other factions.

I really don't know why CA has been fucking riding that faction. Off all of them in the game its the only one I cannot finish a campaign out of sheer boredom. Even in the original CA streams of TWW1 Joey would cosplay as Manlet and shit. Meanwhile the other undead factions are leagues more interesting.

why the fuck is my game lagging after just leaving it sitting there for a few minutes?

I left it on the campaign map while I ran to the store and now the FPS is shit when it ran fine before

Two and a half stacks in shogun 2 attacking a single half stack and garrison in a tier one fort.

battle ended with my generals unit and about 20 guys total from 10 different units charging their last unit and force a rout at the gate. General was the sole survivor of the army there.

I know they're the lowest tier but PRAISE THE DARK GODS

I didn't save the replay in time. I got a clutch Purple Sun and shattered Karl with Doom & Darkness, and I'm sad I'll never get to see that again.

Between the buffs Skarsnik confers, and the extremely reduced upkeep I never ran into any serious problems with gobbo spears routing when I was playing him.

You just drown your enemy beneath a sea of brutal, cunnin' stabby green

And also rush in wolves or skulkers from the flanks.

So I finally beat my Empire campaign. The series of battles outside of Kislev were pretty glorious.

And apparently I unlocked this beautiful monster

That's too bad.

The campaing concluded somewhat unexpectedly after prince pretty boy decided to sail all the way down to Marienburg in order to raze the inconsequential Orc camp in the hills above it, trapping himself their in the process.

any info on the mega campaign?

>>173997601
