If you own the first one. It's more like a standalone expansion pack that an actual sequel.
I fucking knew the "Warhammer 2" title would be confusing. Such a stupid decision by CA

everytime.
In my elves campaign i even broke the alliances with the other elves to not go to war with chaos.
Instead i occupyed the destroyed citys.
Lost them as the chaos lord was reborn and declared war with everyone though
quick who's the best beastlord in campaign
shadowgave seems kinda bad because his minotaurs are expensive as fuck
>>175573457

I don't know.
After dealing with the initial threats, your home front is relatively secure. But that just means you can send a couple of stacks off on a glorious crusade.
In my last campaign, I sent Louen to the Badlands, marched my way north, razing Orc hovels as I went and befriended the Dwarfs. Then I got some military access deals with the Empire, moved up through Blackfire Pass and took out the Vampires. Which meant that when Archaon came, I was in a great position to coordinate with the allies I made on the journey and fuck them up right proper.
Are night goblin warbosses on cave squigs any good?
They seem like they'd be great for mulching infantry.
>>175573951
Devolve was unnerfed to the point of being an actual decent spell again
It's not the destroyer of worlds it used to be, but it's functional.

>he's so unimaginative he needs mods to make a sandbox game interesting
>>175574773
From what I understand, they're actually great duelists.
Which faction would make the most sense for oversea exploration in TWW2?
The empire works, but that's kind of given. I've recently gotten interested in Bretonnia, and they seem like they'd be cool to play as going on a grand quest to the new world.
>>175575445
Estalia and Tilea
>>175573843
wait till lines meet then send Franz to kill the warboss ASAP, a lot of the time the AI is slow to keep their lord attacking your lord and you can take them out with very little damage.
Then use Reiksguard to kill shaman, avoid getting them caught in melee at any cost.
Keep your ranged units far away enough that they'll be reluctant to send melee units after them. If they do wait till they catch your dudes in melee and then charge with reiksguard.
Use reiksguard to keep cycle charging their blobbed up infantry that's fucking up your l-
WAIT nvm.
I just realised Franz is on a warhorse. Your fucked m8, doesn't that reduce his MD & armour by a hefty amount?
reddi/tg/ is slow to answer so ill ask here too. whats the most aesthetic fantasy ship?
>>175575445
bretonnia has better ships than the empire and if you want to handwave a little its easy to say they copied ship designs and techniques from the high elves since most of bretonnia civ is just copying them anyway
>>175575445
Estelia, Tilea, to some extend the norscan tribes and the Empire.
Greenskins because they're fucking everywhere and do as they please.
Chaos because norscans and destroying the plans of the old ones.
What's the best campaign you've had, /twg/?
>>175575764
>reddi/tg/

>>175575764

>>175575196
I think it's because their bonus vs. infantry applies against lords which gives them 95 melee attack base against those units.
That is how bonus against inf. & cav works right?
>>175575848

oh my god
>>175575970
but thats stupid in a bad way. better to just have them be kaptains and freebooters on stolen ships
>>175576086
I thought bonus vs infantry was a damage bonus, not attack bonus
>>175574823
Lizardmen are asexual is his point, they're all clones spawned from the birthing pools.
will we get Amazons?

>>175577368
Somehow I doubt it.
>>175577368
Probably not, it's not like we've gotten other minor factions like Halflings. Best just get Blood Bowl for Amazon admiring.
So arch has gone full on Nazi.

>>175576741
well bonus vs large applies to both so I don't see why infantry would be any different.
Ungrim for example has 35 bonus vs. large, which adding to his 450 melee damage is very little, but adding to melee attack as well makes him pretty good vs. monsters.
>>175578713

Jesus
>>175577697
but if they're in Blood Bowl they're more of a legit faction than Halflings tho?

>"Usurper" for destroying von Carstein as Mannlet

Etc etc. But no, instead for other factions you just get "Likes Chaos" after you slaughter an entire wave of invaders.
>>175576647
>>175574675
Bretonnia is going to be even better in TW:WH 2. So many crusade targets. I can't wait to spread the word of ze lady to far off lands like Naggaroth, Lustria, and Nehekhara. Preferably by way of Lance.

>>175580543
While not in any way must have Steel Faith Overhaul is pretty great for an all around balance mod. Wish it didn't change some things like the size of Elite cav units though.
>>175580476
i've looked around on the forums and it seems like all bonuses are thought to work in the same way.
Charge bonus, bonus vs. large & bonus vs. infantry all apply to both melee attack & weapon damage.
It'd be nice if someone could find a CA post confirming this though.

T4 minor settlements, CelticK's buildings and recruitment and his AI campaign balance
Norscan income is slashed massively, so they don't burn down half the world and factions get to develop properly.
Chaos is delayed by 20-30 turns
Greenskins play smart with their waagghhs
The only thing that feels a little wonky is autoresolve odds occasionally

Not to be argumentative (more curious as a matter of fact), but do you think those stand alone mods are better than Steel of Faith overhaul mod? I was under the impression that SoF will do all of that and more?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BEAST
>>175585719
>>175585017
I checked the mod and the only feature I think SoF and any other mod needs to have is the 'Chaos anti-player' feature, where Chaos won't just gun and hunt the player factions down, ignoring other factions they face along the way (and vice versa).
Maybe SoF should include this too :)
>>175585371
No, they just always roll with a waaagghh which makes for good fights. All combat stats are vanilla afaik.
The campaign ai and recruitment mean no more retarded 19 chariot armies, there's a good balance of inf, cav and skrimishers

>>175589816

>>175588853
what is a xebec exactly
>>175590036
I don't think any right thinking player would let their cav get charged by an Arachnarok. Might try a build with one though.
Best anti-large units for greenskins are big uns' & boar boy big uns'.
Would be nice if they made a gobbo halbeard unit that was kind of like the black orcs of gobbos but still not elite in any way because they're goblins.
Is there a mod for Empire like Napoleon's La Montée de l'Empire?

attack the empire
>>175590670
abuse your hidden encampment and hordes of cheap inf to fuck up undefended settlements, eventually building up to the cool shit like chaos spawn, gorebulls, and minotaurs. Morghur should be able to make his chaos spawn incredibly strong through his various buff skills, but most of them are broken and do not work
>>175590567
i was just wondering what the technical difference between them and other ships where

>>175591534
except there is nothing Italian about estalia and everything italian about tilea.
its not spain from the name you tard, its spain because they lore makes it notspain
i am running only steel faith and when i launch my game just freezes on the first screen than crashes, any got a fix or know about this?
>>175591534
You are not a clever man.
>>175591170
that's where you're wrong kiddo. Sailing ships are mostly defined by their rigging, a xebec has a long bowsprit (mast that juts forward from the prow) and the mizzenmast (the mast at the back of the ship) also overhangs the back.
Are the Oda in S2 the closest we got to pike and shot?
>>175578141
I think he made great points. That would be a cod I would play
>>175591814
Alright I guess I'm wrong. It doesn't help when in its fluff it's literally described as being a mix up of Spain and Italy.
>The region's kingdoms, cultures and political situation are modelled after medieval Spain and Italy. In fact the name "Estalia" is a mix-up of the names España (Spain) and Italia (Italy).

there is probably aome old lore that mixes some Italy in but really its just spain and tilea is italy.

I think that Medieval 2's system would have been the best if there wasn't a City/Castle divide, and all your provinces could recruit units based upon the buildings you chose to construct in them. Wanting to replenish your units, only to have to send them back to the nearest castle or city, was annoying, but overall I liked the system.
>>175593498
Nevermind, changed the shadow detail and now it's fine. Still odd that I had the same setting on my other campaign and it was fine then.

Every time I get kinda far into a campaign, I'll just delete it for no reason.

Pre-decimal currency was hard because we still use a base 10 number system. (And because it was 20 shillings to a pound but 12 pence to a shilling).
If we had a base 12 number system and a base 12 currency it would be much easier to handle because 12 has way more factors than 10. 10 divides cleanly by 2 and 5 while 12 divides by 2, 3, 4 and 6. You would be able to split any round number into halves, thirds or quarters without any remainder, unlike the decimal system.
>>175597541
At the moment, not much unless you happen to be using an AMD card with a slightly underpowered CPU, because Nvidia's DX12 implementation doesn't appear to be any good. If your framerates are limited by how good your GPU is rather than your CPU, you're unlikely to see much of a difference.
Theoretically DX12 should reduce overhead and make it easier for games to have large numbers of instances without chugging to a halt, which would be useful for total war which has lots of individual things running around, but DX12 implementation turns out to be tricky and I don't think there's any game that really uses it to its full potential.

I was thinking of making a pc budget build with the g4560 and the rx570 so it sounds like is should help. Or does the cpu have to be amd as well to get the boost? The next highest cpu is waaay more expensive
>>175598426
No, if it's a budget PC build the G4560 is probably fine. I think total war is still mostly relying on two cpu cores (supposed to change whenever warscape next occurs, see the scheduler in >>175598237)
and the G4560 happens to have good performance on those two cores.
>>175598932

Despite what the others said, you're actually correct.
However, while Estalia is a mix of Spain and Italy, Tilea is literally entirely Italy right down to being descended from Not-Roman Empire.
Estalia is like 75% Spain and 25% Italy, Tilea is 200% Italy.

does charge bonus correlate into how much units the cav/ chariot is able to charge through, or damage bonus upon impact?
ive seen certain cavs charge through thin x*4y formations and this has been on my mind the whole day
does unit size (models) affect how much units cavs are able to pass through before they deccelerate? i'm playing on small fyi
>>175599775

I do but they never keep firing straight forward so they just go ahead and roasts my own units.

Feet is the direct prophetess of the Lady. She's special because she's like an avatar for the Lady, the most representative and direct expression of her will in the mortal world. Basically Feet is like the pope for the Lady's religion. The grail belongs to the Lady, which she uses to draw water from the lake and give to those worthy of it, providing her blessing and power to them, though the grail itself is also on it's own a magical/divine object of the goddess.
Bretonnia doesn't like Welves because Welves are cunts and the two sides constantly butt heads, they're ambivalent towards Helves. Helves don't like Bretonnia because they got cucked out of their own goddess by the big human c(ock)hivalry. No one in the world likes the Delves.

>when you deploy ranged units on the corners of your walls and they can completely decimate other units on the walls.
it's a shame they happen so little.
>>175600053
The GW guys themselves said so. Practically Estalia is basically Spain and Portugal, but according to GW it has Italy influences.
>>175600104
Right right, forgot about that. You're correct. So the final breakdown is
>Estalia; 75% Spain, 25% Italy (in practice it's more like 90% / 10%)
>Tilea; 175% Italy, 25% Greece
antibret anon from last thread - the drogre/deat sorcerer lord worked out well in this battle - louen got roflstomped when he tried to snipe my lord, even with the sword of couronne debuff active. The scroll of shielding is useful when you see the enemy lining up, and once they land you send in the halberds/drogres that should be close, and watch as they go to work. Since the dragon ogres are busy, you can also drop a fate of bjuna on any problematic cav to deal with it
>>175599623
A lot of players just drop ranged units if they're expecting cav.
You can take longbeards with great weapons instead for a cav-proof unit who's also a decent damage dealer & very durable.

Those games had far more engaging campaigns
So what if I don't have giant flying monster artillery (light skirmishers)? The campaign puts me to fucking sleep with how simplified it is and I end up autoresolving most battles because it's either a fucking shitty TWW siege or against some retarded unit comp like 18 chariots or 9 mortars and 6 heroes
>>175601209
The Romans also worshiped Athena in the form of Minerva.
The only other thing that might be Greek-ish are the Alcatani Fellowship. But their helmets aren't Corinthian helms, they're Italian barbutes with a crest on. And the crest could be Roman-inspired rather than Greek.
So I guess they're only inspired by Greece in as far as the Roman Empire had Hellenic influences.

As long as the application is running
It sometimes also keeps counting time if the launcher process hangs around after the game is closed, which happens sometimes
So wait, I've just realised something.
In tabletop most monster mounts counted as 2 models and if either model died the other could still go on fighting, right?
Why didn't they do this in TWW as well?
It should be possible given that you could mount & dismount units in other games.

>>175576741
It adds to both, gives you flat ms and a damage increase that gives you a ratio of ap damage that is consistent with your unmodified damage, charge does the same but diminishes over 15 sec after a charge
>>175610770
why?
I JUST WANT A TOTAL WAR GAME WHERE I CAN RECRUIT UNITS WITHOUT A GENERAL AND WHERE KILLING THE GENERAL MATTERS AND NOT JUST WOUNDS HIM OR AUTO-SPAWN ANOTHER GENERAL
>>175611152
Basing on how the dwarfs were done and how the underpaths are used, Skaven are likely going to continue the same trend.
Dwarf settlements act the same as above ground settlements and dwarfs travel across land.
Maybe they could change things up as Skaven settlements operate underneath existing settlements but I doubt it. They're probably going to act just like everybody else.
Fucking AI can never win equal battle, always has to fucking outnumber

Yet it doesn't fucking matter if you kill them or if yours dies.
You have enough legendary lords that you don't ever have to give a shit.
LL's need to be killable but only in battle.
This way looking after your lord would be more important, like you do with generic lords who you've managed to get to a really high level.
The general system is still flawed as shit though. If you beat an enemy in a really tight battle but you killed their general you basically fuck yourself over because next turn they'll kick your shit in with a fresh general despite the fact that you just sent them running because the game lets you magic a general out of thin air even in enemy territory.

I tested around with this a bit and I think it's because at CA they do AI simulation runs to figure out what the ideals for certain actions are.
The battle AI will array out its siege towers across the full field. Resulting in significant tower losses.
As such, the result of the simming is that the AI needs to build at least 6 Siege Towers

Chaos factions really ought to be in an automatic military alliance from the start.

Except your siege weapons are wrong. Empire is objectively superior in that category. Greenskinz? You might want to seek help since you have a brain injury.
Even Dawi get fucked by their superiority. Grudge thrower vs mortars? Mortars every time.
>>175632739
doom divers are the most accurate artillery in the game besides maybe hellcannons, and the hammer of gork is one of 2 ror artillery pieces with a unique debuff attached to it
Dawi/empire is what the best arty tier should be though

Try again when you're steadfast etc and not untrustworthy
what am i missing with so many people ranking bretonnia infantry so high? are foot squires so good or what?
Should I use the T4 settlement mod really?
On higher difficulty the AI always seems to have high tier settlements, wouldn't the T4 essentially just make all my neighbors into impossible juggernauts recruiting anything they need anywhere? Have a mod disabling RoR to keep the vamp cunts from going insane anyways.
>>175634049

foot squires are overrated though
>>175632739

>>175633391
Oathbreaker please.
>>175634157
use it you pussy
>>175634225
>>175634049
Armorpiercing + native anti-infantry bonus + reasonable armor + reasonable price, when combined with a reliquae that boosts their leadership by 16 and makes them immune to psychology, make Foot Squires very good at punching above their weight.
>>175634256
Fighting bro-battles with them is fun though
>>175631337
Charge is everything
>>175632739
he's right, greenskins have the most cost-effective artillery. Hammer of Gork and doom divers are better than anything the empire has access to easily.
If cost isn't an issue, empire has best artillery- but cost not being an issue is a huge caveat.
>>175635630
Yeah that's definitely true. Having to work with the AI instead of just exploiting it is a change of pace, and there's something about fighting alongside an ally.
>>175634225
Even without factoring in the support they always have, they are stupidly overefficient infantry. Their anti-infantry bonus boosts weapon attack as well as damage, so that they will just about never do worse than their cost.
Compare marauders with great weapons or chaos warriors with great weapons and weep really, chaos on suicide watch
>>175637790
Which is jarring considering Bretonnia is supposed to have some of the weakest infantry in the game.

They had to add Foot Squires because you can't have any faction, let alone the ONE faction closest to old school Med 2, exist without a form of heavy infantry.

>>175638620
>>175639468
The game is worse for having them desu
Battle Pilgrims can hold a line forever, and halberds already provide semi-efficient AP infantry. Bretonnia would've been fine without them, but with them they are the best faction in the game.
Really, just taking away their bonus vs infantry would fix everything- they'd be considerably less effective without it, but still worth bringing against dwarfs or armored anti-large infantry like chaos halberds or big 'uns

Neither gives real logistics, alliances are shaky in both, and magic literally depends on the writer.
That said,the Forsaken Blight is probably stronger than anything the Skaven have.
>>175642215
It really depends. I imagine a propa Orc WAAAAAGH! Would give the Bored a lot of trouble. I don't know enough about Stormwind to make a judgement but I imagine the Empire would have better tactics as theirs are more closely based on real world tactics.
I have only played WoW though, so some ancient RTS neet is more than welcome to prove me wrong.

Hey nice I wanna give that a go, love Pistoliers.
Who's the strongest Beastman LL? Khazrak or Morghur? About to go for my first campaign with them
>>175643286
Yeah but atleast Sengoku Jidai has a bunch of japanese made movies in that era (bunch of Kurosawa movies come to mind)
Boshin/Meiji has got what, The Last Samurai and thats just about it
>>175645668
Morghur is much better for MP, khazrak may be better for SP
Malagor also exists
>>175645668
Morghur gets 0 upkeep chaos spawn in the campaign, it's pretty fun.
>>175645850
Boshin/Meiji has an enormous amount of yaoi manga, visual novels, and the like

>>175645668
Morghur is straight up strongest
>Most Lords and Heroes carry a magic weapon of some sort
>Morghur has an innate magic resistance
However, that +40% Minotaur upkeep is horrifying, Kazhrak is still good enough for a LL and he doesn't have any campaign penalty
>>175647227
Gee... I wonder which artwork will we get to see this time
>>175648063

>>175645668

>>175648046
I would like Malagor a lot more if his start position wasn't so fucking nightmarish.
He's not outright bad as a lord since Devolve got a buff, but early Beastmen infantry quite literally CANNOT beat Savage Orcs, it's impossible.

>>175648895
CA seems to have intended for him to buff chaos spawn enough to be comparable to minos, but it doesn't really work out that way
>>175648951
There's also the fact that chaos spawn just isn't as fun to use as minos.

>>175652672
- unit collision,
- dynamic weather effects (was present in Rome Total War),
- dust and smoke effects (affecting unit armor and looks),
- dynamic day-night cycle,
- bigger units (above 500 warriors per one unit card),
- bigger dynamic battle maps (you can destroy buildings and shape terrain with catapults forming natural arrow covers etc.),
- visible troop footsteps on snow, sand,
>>175650394
It's so you get that "journey" towards your target.

>>175653559

>>175652787
They can have units of mixed models anyway, Empire had musicians and officers. Don't knwo why CA didn't implement it for W:TW aside from saving soem money since warhammer literally encourages a unit to have a banner, musician and leader. We'll never get Dwarfs with steam carnyxs or orcs with dwarf hide drums.
I don't even care how the game looks desu. I want larger scale. Even if it's just scaled up unit numbers.
Bamboo is old friend(see pic). Just reeeeee
Today marks the 9th week since Bretonnia launched on Feb 28th.
>>175653527
It was last true Total War where you could recruit a unit without a general, autoresolve was not broken and you could build a road on campaign map

Warhammer carries over a gimped version of that with the unused officers, which is fucking lame

Warhammer basically already has mixed weapon units, dwarf quarellers with great weapons are. If you mean something where in a unit there's a row of muskets behind the pikemen you can just walk some muskets into a unit of pikemen or put them behind.

Feels good man. They even managed to keep Kraka Drak alive and floating, before Chaos invasion occurred. Vargs were in pretty poor shape by that time. Almost got rolled over by Chaos but I managed to come in time to aid when Chaos was laying siege on Kislev capital.
Now I just shower with them with my cheat Bretonnian income and keep a nice stack here to help them take out the trash.

Its not very overt pandering, since they've missed easier opportunities to pander in the past and mostly haven't except for promoting isabella to LL, but it is true the high elves have ~traditional gender roles~ and that men mostly do the fighting, as opposed to the DE and wood elves.
The Sisters of Avelorn are an exception, and even they are traditionally in super isolation- Avelorn is Deep Ulthuan, off limits to foreigners, and the sisters themselves generally don't leave it.

It's a feminist plot to increase the amount of female characters artificially. CA has been cucked.
>>175660781
>>175660856
>>175661598
Autism compelled me to look it up. Ulthuan is specifically listed as somewhere where society is stratified on gender lines the Wood Elves or Dark Elves.
The entire High Elf social system's hierarchy mirrors that, too- the Phoenix King and the Everqueen are co-rulers, except the Phoenix King does all the ruling and the Everqueen is a spiritual figurehead who stays in isolation.
>>175662374
>e-everyone is equal

everytime. Also women less impulse than men...
>>175662816
Ariel is a way more responsible ruler than Orion, to be fair. That guy doesn't have it over, while Ariel is living the marimite life erryday
>>175662869
more a criticism of the writing. Every time someone tries to break female power stereotypes, they always add in a bit at the end to show that women are actually better. Game of thrones is a good example
>>175662374
Literally the cuck race
>>175662374
I won't be crying about it, but it is an odd choice to be fair. I think its alright, I'm sure there are a FEW fighting women in Ulthuan outside Avelorn at least, and noblewomen are in the best position to be able to fight should they want.
On the Everqueen, I know Allarielle is quite active in fighting by the way, so this Everqueen is a bit different from the norm , though usually yeah they do kind of sit around being spiritual and not doing much. Allarielle gets far dirtier than Finubar often, though that is because Finubars main skill is job distribution, diplomacy, and management, not fighting. Sort of like a modern President.

>>175663606
500, ammo ended fast
>>175663628
Oh yeah that is true. Definitely agree that some writers (GRRM) can kind of go a bit overboard when trying to make women equal and end up making them superior.
But my point still stands, that is the opinion of a few in Athel Loren, if anything that is good writing, it shows there is debate about such things as gender role in treeland.
>>175662869
Hardly, she did nearly destroy Athel Loren until she got saved by a tree.

>didn't give any units your banners
a good try though anon, how long did it take
>>175663790
Yeah I definitely don't want to censor in the opposite direction and of course it fits the lore. I just keep noticing this pattern of saying 'the genders don't matter in this situation, but in fact women are better anyways'. I almost never read 'men and women perform equally in this regard' and nothing extra added on.

what does (local region) mean
>>175664247
The local region
>>175664247
The region the character or building is in
is just having one province dedicated to recruiting units and just use global recruitment a good idea. That would ofc leave the rest of what you conquer dedicated to shekels and it wouldn't be a big deal if it got sacked or w/e
>>175664053
>how long did it take
i don't know anon, i think i disabled map and timer somehow, or it's not available on legendary? i dunno
>>175661196
Typically, I divide provinces into "economic" provinces and "recruitment" provinces. Unless there's a specific resource that improves units, like fields, lumber, or iron, I try and focus all my recruitment in a four-region province, while my other provinces are devoted to making money. If there's a resource, I just build the buildings that allow access to the units it improves. Also, having adjacent recruiting centers is unnecessary, so even if two large provinces are next to each other I'll devote one to economy.
Ah good.

Kagemusha is the only one that comes to mind that was specifically historical in nature.
Ran and Throne of Blood are just remakes of King Lear and Macbeth, respectively.
Rashomon and Seven Samurai are in roughly the same period but really are about the characters rather than the period as a whole. Haven't seen Hidden Fortress yet desu.
But you're right I guess. At least they're kind of in the same period. Boshin War/Satsuma Rebellion/Meiji Era just kind of get ignored.

Its not a female character in a race where it makes sense, though. These aren't Dark Elves or Wood Elves.

There was a High Elven female warrior in an official Warhammer card game, so there is a canon example of it. Fantasy Flight had to get Games Workshop to sign off on all the stuff they did. I would trust that more than extrapolation from one paragraph of lore.

>>175671275
Yeah, but the sisters of avelorn typically never leave avelorn, which is like a wilderness Forbidden Palace where the Everqueen, the spiritual liege of the High Elves, holds court doing a bunch of ritual stuff and holds no real political power. There are also only a hundred of them.
High Elf Princesses, though, have never been in the tabletop at any point. While there are notable exceptions, it is true High Elves are, of the three Elf factions, the one where females play the least role in politics & warfare.
>>175669127

>>175669441
Did you not know what a dryad is before playing this game or what?
>>175671591
What? No, they use your notions of sexuality against you. They are winsome, otherworldy beauties beckoning you with demure promise and bewitching melodies, only revealing their wooden claws to tear you apart once your mind is lost in a "cloud of desire and promise".
They are seductive, capricious, and malicious. Being female and preying upon male sexuality is a big part of what Dryads do.
>>175671476
yes, it's what makes High Elves different from Dark and Wood elves
Their basic troops are mixed, but anything beyond that is a sausagefest

You Idiots fell for the laziest bait ever \
>As the twisted forests of the Old World turned from verdant green to a ragged mass of brown, red and gold, the Phoenix Delegation of Ulthuan marched from the coasdines of the Border Princes to the south of the Empire on a diplomatic mission to Karaz-a-Karak. These visits were typically
fraught and tense occasions, for the Elves and the Dwarfs had once waged a bitter war against each other, and the old wounds still festered in their hearts. In the wake ofthe Chaos invasions, the High Elf King, Finubar, had agreed to parley with the High King of the Dwarfs, Thorgrim Grudgebearer, and cement their alliance in the years to come. Secredy, each sought to secure their own position, and impress upon the other that they were more than powerful enough to prevail
if the alliance turned sour. Locked in the wars with the evil Dark Elves, the High Elf King had been forced to remain in Ulthuan. To ensure he did not offend the Dwarf High King by sending some mere functionary, Finubar sent his astonishingly beautiful daughter, Aliathra. Dwarf Kings are easy to offend, but it was said that as well as being a mage of impressive skill, Princess Aliathra could charm an angry Manticore's head into her lap.

But their WAR FACE is considerably more feminine than the unrecognizable buff monstertrees that CA gave us. Treekin already fill the same role- there was no need for more fat gnarly trees when the existing tabletop models and art depict more elegant and swift dryads. There never would've been a word mentioned in this forum by anyone if the Dryads had just been depicted as they are on tabletop, which is in their war aspect.
