do we have tricorns or bandanas currently in the game anons?. would go a long way towards helping it out.
Fortunately at least with the vampirates you could blend empire bretonnia and estalian clothes together(if they make anything for that) to have a heap more variety. As it doesnt really matter if a zombie pirate is wearing bretonnian pants with an empire platechest. Makes sense to me lorewise.


what might be difficult is making all the zombies essentially shitty free company animationswise.
But I don't do new units, I just make shit look pretty and trigger people regarding lack of hats.

>>180363317
it's been reskinned to be darker. Funnily enough it had no team colour maps assigned to it in wh1(I found this out when I tried making varied trees)
that's pretty neat.

There are, to my knowledge, no Dwarfs in Lustria. There is a lost hold in the Southlands, Karak Zorn. It could be an expedition sent from there or the Old World to look for gold. Dwarfs love gold.

I'd happily create this helmet for someone if we were allowed to import custom models as mods. The reason we can't is why I haven't even looked at modding Warhammer, the whole kitbashing thing doesn't work for me outside of tabletop models.

>>180364690

Eataine will be the "High Elves" the same way Reikland is "The Empire" and Couronne is "Breotnnia". We saw Tyrion standing there.
>>
>>180364690
Tyrion has Eataine, while Teclis (who would normally be leading Saphery) has a start in the Turtle Isles, off the west coast of Lustria.

DLC/FLC options are the Everqueen (Avelorn), Alith Anar (Nagarythe), and Eltharion (Yvresse).

It's none of these, so they're likely Dark Elf invaders. That area would be the Shadowlands anyway, and is the most likely to be attacked.

>>180364607

It's primarily how soldiers float around and the lack impact. Cavalry especially feel very flat. Warhammer might have gone a bit overboard with sending units flying but at least there's some sense of impact when cavalry hits home.

I won't claim that any Empire, Shogun 2 or Warhammer have perfect combat. Hell, I play Warhammer with a combat animation mod, it's far from perfect. But even without mods I enjoy watching any of them more than Attilas.

Well I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end or what but in semi-large battles and beyond the combat animations seem to become very stuttery and janky unless you put it in slow motion, and even then as you said everything feels very disconnected. Rome II had the same problem IIRC though

Anyone else worried that the grand campaign wont actually be that good cos they're spending all the development time on the vortex campaign?

They need to develop incentives for the new and old worlds to clash and the old world races need campaign mechanic updates to bring them in line with the new shit, but it seems like that'll just get neglected.

Skaven, and Chaos are the main things Lizardmen want to murder, if they even invade another nation it's strictly because another faction took a sacred relic when looting an abandoned city, hell the only reason why Skeggi hasn't been wiped out is because they're chaos worshiping humans and not chaos demons or skaven and they had the brains to give up the booty when the lizards came by for a relic that they stole.

Unfortunately all modern TW's lack any sort of "life".

If you look at the official lustria map (as in the Gee Dubs one) there are some places with very dwarfy names, such as "The Mine of Bearded Skulls" which would appear to be a later name for an old Karak (Possibly given by explorers).

Also bear in mind that CA has to get Gee Dubs to sign off on anything like that, so it would appear to be canon that there are old Dwarfholds in Lustria. Whether they are active or not we'll just have to see.

Alright boys, here we are. I'm thinking I'm going to do a clockwise sweep across Athel Loren. Durthu declared war on me, so he's going down first. Then I'll take down one of the two generic elf lords, defeat Orion, and go for the other minor elf. Now the question is, who do I subjugate to repopulate Athel Loren under the command of the Empire? Durthu and Orion have ruin-dweller, which would help with no having them hang around one settlement for way too long, but I also fear they might be more rebellious.

Sorry for the long wait, was having dinner. They have black shields with a whitish coloured snake on it. Here is information about them.

>One of the truly nomadic Savage Orc tribes, they follow the random migrations of the Oooyabegga Snake who's venom they imbibe in a drink called 'Snakebite', the results of which send them into such a frenzy that even Black Orcs find it awe inspiring. They have picked up numerous Night Goblins along the way as they regard Squigs and Fanatics as kindred spirits in the pursuit of battle-madness.

They are nomadic so I could imagine them ending up in Lustria.

Kraka Drakk has been isolated for a really, really long time. And even then they aren't that different from regular dwarfs.

Also Dwarfs live underground, it wouldn't make much sense for them to start dressing in jungle leaves.

Hertwig appeared not a moment too late from cleaning the Greenskins. his task would be to swiftly take the settlement of Wurtbad, thus Manfred would be attacked on all fronts and would have to retreat his defensive lines.

>>180368957
That's not true at all. He wants to kill all races that are not a part of the great plan and preserve those that. So he wants Lizardmen, Elves, Dwarfs, Men, Halflings, Giants, and Ogres to be safe and everyone else to be dead.

Actually, forget it. Durthu has the overall highest strength, yet only one settlement, so I can subjugate him with a single battle. That way I can also use his territory as a base of operations during this campaign.

>>180370550
I want to play a "subjugation" style game. I will make the elves and dwarves my vassals to occupy the territories I can't. I know they might fuck up my diplomacy, but it's kind of a challenge that way. After this, I'll probably start invading Brettonia. Safe, well protected lands that will make for a good economic backbone while I defend the north from Archaon. A new, better life awaits the peasant peoples of Brettonia, who have long been under yoke of the oppresive lords and knights. After that, I'll probably start to march east, take down the orcs and subjugate the dwarves.

Does anyone else think CA is kind of bad at marketing?

Yeah they trickle out the information in a very controlled way, but they tease shit out to the point that I don't give a fuck anymore


Like Skaven for example:
They have been teasing that shit out for literal months now
If they showed some rats, I went "oh shit are Skaven in the game" and then one or two weeks later the Skaven trailer drops I would go "oh shit Skaven"

Instead we have this meme where we know Skaven are in the game, they keep teasing that shit, and we will probably get the trailer in August. By then I doubt I will even have any reaction whatsoever

Another example of them overdoing this would be Warhammer 2 proper
>we know the game exists before the first one even exists
>they tease the announcement fucking forever
>they put out a countdown
>after the countdown they play the trailer and formerly announce the game, surprising absolutely nobody

They are overdoing it with the teasing and minimal information dropping up to release

This is not good marketing anymore

That's not all of it, he wants them to return to their designated homelands. This means all dwarfs that are not near a particular hold need to be moved there, all Dark Elves and Wood Elves must be deported to Ulthuan and so on.

in the movie the lizard dragons things attack once every 500 years or something, and it is mentioned they evolve each time to what defeated them. I think that is the reason they don't immediately use gunpowder, because they don't want them evolving/adapting to it next time or something.

Anyway, although it is never stated, I imagine that technique was really really effective on them last time but they adapted to it, because the girl that leads the divers is being groomed to take over command of the army, and you wouldn't exactly put that kind of person as cannon fodder.

The CeltiK ones are pretty good in my opinion. Pretty much just improve build orders and compositions without fucking up all kinds of other things.
Might also want the rebalance one which gives norsca less gold and makes dwarf AI vs greenskin AI more balanced so the dwarfs don't just steamroll them every time.

>there are mods that make settlement battles actually take place in settlement
There's two big ones that are most commonly used. Custom Grand Campaign Maps or something like that and Something Minor Settlement Pack.

The first had some problems in the beginning with siege maps and a lot of maps very large only for MP so the AI was shit at fighting on them, but they've since started to redo the maps so sieges actually are sieges and fixing up some of the pathfinding with AI.

The Minor Settlement Kajigger mostly focuses on smaller settlements (no shit) and has less problems with befuddling the AI but I didn't much care for that one because it's basically just the same map over and over. Personally I use the first one for variation and nice maps, but either one will do the job. Try both and see which you like best.

More spells is not necessarily stronger. Mazamundi has Curse of the Midnight Wind, Net of Amyntok, Ruination of Cities (bound spell), and I think a heal of some sort.

Still, I agree, he should have more spells available, but as it stands now he's going to be a beast in the campaign.

That would be really inefficient though because you would never skill most of that shit.
Having a mixed tree of multiple lore's good spells makes them way stronger in a way because it leaves more skill points to go into efficient talents.
Also keep in mind that most spells seem to go up to 3 points now which seems to be needed for the overcast.

Its genuinely the best Total War to be honest. It's genuinely challenging, has the most mechanical depth of any game in the series, and is probably the most unique game in terms of playstyle and the variation in each faction besides maybe Warhammer depending on what you're looking at. Also the campaign AI seems better in Attila than any other game in the series, maybe it's just me.
>>
>>180389084
That's the point. You're not supposed to skill all of it, just two lores tops if you want. I think it would be closer to tabletop this way.

Tyrion's position is easy as fuck, why will you even bother fighting fellow High Elves? At least the Empire has an excuse since Karl is a newfag and the other lesser lords are not impressed by him. Even if you get rekt with stacks in Lustria you're still pretty safe overall until the event where every AI teleports to Ulthuan with stacks of armies. Teclis' position is much more challenging.

Will Naggaroth be like the Chaos Wastes/Skaeling/Norsca in the first game where every army gets buttfucked by attrition and giving the Dark Elves pretty much OP territory?

Only justification for it IMO is that a lot of people in the modern day seem really undereducated about it considering how much we know about the Roman Republic/Empire, the Greek states and that whole time period and then the sudden 6 century time skip to medieval Europe. I would bet that 95% of people you ask about the state of Europe after the Fall of Rome could not tell you a thing about it. I know I couldn't before I'm playing Attila if we're being brutally honest.

>>180394576
Skavenblight is in (under?) Tilean soil but the rats are spread across the world with warlord clans everywhere. Moulder's main base of operations is Hell Pit, north of Kislev, within Troll Country. Pestilens initially invaded Lustria but has since been pushed back to the Southlands. Eshin hails from the far east. It is only the Council of 13 and Skryre that seem to be based in Skavenblight.

Pretty sure CA said that some legendary lords and factions will be moved around when we get the combined map though.

also should I go with Noble Foederati Javelinmen over Exculcatores? They are twice as expensive but seem like a straight upgrade w/ better melee stats, more armor, and more ammo.
>>180395659
Yeah I wouldn't like to go north of the danube either, but this late in the game the map is impassible due to snow half of the year so the shorter distance I have to travel the better. Burgundians just have one shit tier army left as a horde after I razed their settlements to the ground, and I have to own Germania for the victory conditions but I just haven't gotten around to re-colonizing that middle settlement yet

>>180397298
Let's start at the fact that they went back to locking units for base game factions behind DLC

Screeching about DLC is autistic but flagellants and free militia company and RoR being locked behind bald mustache wizard's dogshit DLC is tip top kikery
As of now the only faction in the vanilla game that doesn't have anything locked behind DLC are the three Bretonnias

And didn't they try to limit the units of the AI factions you don't own as well?
I know that was the case when they first presented Chaos, they showed them off and went "if you own the DLC they will have some more units which is great" but I think they walked back on that

Maybe they are still like that and that's why they went to GW to make a fantasy game because they just couldn't hold them selves back anymore after several historically accurate titles and DLC updates, but now that the floodgates are open we may be coming upon a new era of historically inaccurate game play, with ninja romans and lichemerchants of carthage duking it out for a 4th time for control of the mediterrorean, while Antiochus of the sassy elves contemplates letting the inbred retards he calls his people breed with humans for the sake of saving his declining empire.

I think it's how personality grounded history is, at least the history that has filtered over to the west. Ironically, for all the talk of strategic genius and cunning tactics, not a lot of those filter over. Sima Yi is a great general BECAUSE Sima Yi is a great general. Zhuge Liang is a master of the battlefield BECAUSE Zhuge Liang is a master of the battlefield. There's little talk of feints, strategic positions, or careful maneuvering. Combined arms, technology, logistics, almost never show up. Instead there is a great deal of focus on the grand personalities of the involved, and their personal lives, and whether or not they were virtuous.

Not that that's the fault of Chinese historians. It's the fault of western translators for choosing the exciting legends over the dry and boring histories that, admittedly, had focuses that were strange to westerners, but probably had a whole lot more important shit than 'skin the color of jade.' But it still means that that's what the popular impression of Chinese military history is on westerners. Kung-fu shit, bombastic personalities, and weird mysticism, until it hits the modern day.

Another Karak Izor battle
Another 3-unit defence flawless victory

I hate this map, The AI splits up his forces, on one side they just stand there and take tower fire and the other side sends one unit up the walls and then tries to fit everything else through the gate.

Since it's not counted as a siege map, they don't get any equipment.
It's also laggy as fuck (something I've noticed on all maps with buildings).
You could have zero units and looking at the buildings drops your frames.

I really wanted a total war lord of the rings and still kind of do, but now with warhammer it's kind of hard to justify it. Warhammer is just lord of the rings with extra fluff.

The campaign would end up playing out the same. Might battle the occasional orc warband, reclaim some lost outposts, fight some norsca reskinned as haradrim and dunlendings, then sauron starts awakening and boom, it's just the chaos invasion. Got your elves sitting in their fucking forests nearly the whole game eventually helping a little bit, and dwarves basically not making an appearance at all outside their holds.

On an unified campaign map it's safe to say there'll be additional Chaos hordes to raze Naggaroth and sailing to Ulthuan.
>>
>>180397298
The DLC after the fact is fine - overpriced arguably, but it was content developed and expanded upon after release so charging for it makes sense.

Warriors of Chaos being $8 is retarded though. They were in the game from launch, no reason they couldn't have been included with the base game other than kikery, especially since they're such a major faction lore wise. Also blood and gore being $3 is retarded, should be in the base or 99c at the maximum.

I failed the exam, it was one question about Virtual Power systems, it took me 2 hours to finish the shit, and when i was ending it i saw that i had a bad trigonometric bullshit at the start that gave me a bad angle number

So all the answer was good in the algebra, but once i replaced it it was all wrong because of that bad angle

And this teacher doesn't give points for having the core of the problem right, he just sees if you have the answer correct or not. I had no time to fix the mess so that's that

How the fuck am I supposed to be using crossbows in Attila? I never get as many kills with them as I would with an archer unit - their range is dogshit and their rate of fire means they get only a couple volleys off before units make it into melee, and they get absolutely slaughtered by any sort of skirmisher unit the ai has. There's no point flanking and ranged hammering with them because I have javelins for that exact purpose. I know they can be useful, because whenever the ai spams 10 germanic crossbows in an army, they absolutely slaughter everything
