I literally don't know.

I don't have chaos warriors, and I never really played hoard factions all that much in attila so that's a reason to try out beastmen, but then I also like the idea of a small "tall" empire like wood elves, and archer meming is always kind of fun.

But I've heard WE mechanics actually actually push you on offensive and spreading across the map... I wouldn't mind if it was just raiding and sacking but I don't know if I want to play another paint the map faction.
>>
>>180479420
If you ever wanted to try a horde campaign you will need beastmen, cause chaos is dogshit.

Yes, twcenter has some.

Gook history is boring and there is zero variety

Also it may just be me but something about Shogun 2 battles makes them look graphically worse than even Medieval 2 IMO. It might be the general style but it looks like dogshit when compared to Empire/Napoopan which came out before it.

Wood Elves have the option to paint the map, but outside of Athel Loren, their cities are poorly garrisoned tier 1 outposts. You can use them to paint them map, if your autism demands it, or you can use them as a staging point to launch your raids.

Depends on what time period you want more. Just to let you know, they're both fast paced when it comes to the battles. The game is still gorgeous after six years.
>>
>>180481048
Personally I liked Fall of the Samurai better, but it does have somewhat less content than in the base game obviously. Can't go wrong either way though desu as they're both pretty quality, though if you're a true patrician you'd get Attila, the best game in the series, instead
>>
Ok so. As promised I will buy something for someone since it's a sale.

Who ever provides the thread with the best OC will get rewarded by an item of their choosing. This will not include any deluxe packages so don't get uppity with the request if you win. Leave your steam ID with the OC you provide since I won't be guessing who posted what.

I already gifted quite a few people that provided OC to the thread but were missing some DLC, if that's a guarantee. Give it your best and pick an item you want me to buy for you!

GO!

It's kind of weird, but I feel that shogun 2 is better, but fall of the samurai is more comfy and fun, because I'm a pleb.

Shogun 2 can actually be difficult both on the campaign map and certainly in battle, the enemy usually fields decent armies and battles are more often relatively even and require good tactics. Then, in all my time with fall of the samurai, the enemy always fielded just stacks of garbage levy units even in the late game, and the battles are often just sit there and watch the bullets fly. Boy is it fucking pretty though.

Come on now Fatshark.
That said, I'm probably going to pick up the Chaos Warriors DLC as that's the only Warhammer DLC left.
Also probably will pick up the remaining DLC for Shogun, Fall of the Samurai.

Is the DLC for Rome 2 worth the dosh?
>>
>>180480760
Ghorst was a mistake. CA needed an antagonist for Volkmar for their first DLC and picked a literal nobody from a paragraph in the lore.
They got their shit together for Skarsnik and Belegar and haven't looked back since. Ghorst is a remnant of those early directional/thematic teething problems.

Warhammer asymmetrical balance pisses me off. As a player who has always played TW against the AI instead of mp I am just annoyed by the way it fights and acts. It's competent, but not in a strategic sense. In a botlike sense. Every fight against the AI is bound to become annoying for some reason. Maybe it is the effect of CA wanting to make it harder to hammer and anvil, but as it is now I literally never get to do that in Warhammer. Spells, monsters, etc... is a convoluted mess from which mostly the bot profits, but as a player I restrain myself normally. If I wanted to I could build my army with only griphon knights, giants, spider, etc and steamroll every fight and in some sense the game encourages you to do that so you can even have an ounce of fun, but then you have taken away the challenge for yourself and it feels hollow.

I wish the bot would play normal instead of like an asshat who will try to send half his battleline around yours or spam monsters to just run through your line into your skirmisher, because when both play like that it's just a korean clickfest without getting to watch any cinematic combat or charges. Just masses of units scattered all across the map. Game pisses me off.

Magic weapons in Total Warhams are dogshit anyway, the only good ones are the ones like Mannfreds sword that have abilities unrelated to how hard they hit stuff.

To elaborate on this for a second: There are units which hardcounter certain units so hard I'd never bother bringing them like artillery. Enemy has a flying monster sends it your artillery's way and bam, two of your units are now engaged in a pointless fight (including counter unit you send to protect the arty). Now it's 19vs18 for the bot and this is just one of many possible scenarios. Unicorn units prevent this. I can fill my whole army with unicorn units in campaign just like the bot, because there is no recruitment limit. I wish recruitment worked like Medieval 2 for fucks sake. Makes no sense to be able to field unlimited amount of monsters or other elites/specialized units. This leads to armies that hard-counter other armies which is just sad, because then you just lost on a meta level instead of fighting badly although this wouldn't happen against the bot, because it tries to maintain some logic to it's recruitment.

>>180486701
I just told you what getting good means in this game. It means to discarding any previous notions of how to play Total War, built a stack of unicorn units and roflstomp the shit the AI brings by playing like an asshat and charging everything 1vs1 with superior units. Formations and shit don't mean anything anymore. Even worse you'll get your shit clogged up and have to spend a trillion clicks on getting some faggots to disengage. Now this might just sound logical to bring the better units and attack the weaker units, but it's nothing special to do that when there is no limit to elite units besides holding back as a player.

>>180487258
>as opposed to a light cav going around and hitting your artillery?
Yep another point, why even enable the bot to do that. Why even bring a squishy unit that has limited benefits and is very situational when I can bring fucking griphon knights.

Well against dwarves they are kinda nice because they are very melee oriented and get rekt at open field. But against Beastmen, other wood elves, Bretonnians and even orcs wood elves get rekt at every turn. I never really outright won a battle without losing half my army to Skarsnik or some Beast Hobos.

their generals are incredibly good and can have amazing traits like one that gives every ranged unit +12% range, Orion is a beast that can solo armies, eternal guard with shields is very durable, has armour penetration and anti-large, and with if led by a general with one of the elven council positions they have extra 20 armour on top of their already good base armour, wild riders with shields are solid cavalry that moves fast, has frenzy and can ruin any infantrymans day with a rear charge

t. Retard

>Eternal Guard
These guys are your most basic inf and have AP, anti-large, great morale, and the shielded variant have great missile block chance (50% iirc)
>Treekin
Incredibly tanky monstrous unit - these guys just refuse to die unless facing ap anti large units or things with fire damage
>glade guard
Your most basic archer unit has the best range in the game, as well as ap magic damage and poison damage variants
>Wardancers w/ Asrai Spears
While the regular wardancers blow chunks, these guys are basically the welf version of slayers, with great ap and anti large and great speed to catch any large units that try to get away from them
>Wild Riders
Great melee cav with great speed, and amazing charge bonus thanks to frenzy. Their impact damage is great and they also have a physical resistance. They will do wonders if used correctly
>Magic
Welfs have one of if not the best lore of magic in the game w/ the lore of life, and have great synergy with lots of low model units that benefit from it (treekin/men, hawk riders, forest dragons, lords)

As in what you're saying right now is not fucking relevant because that is still the most viable thing to do.

He was the general who you start out with in the province next to the quadians, and held off their initial assault and retaliated by eradicating them. He then destroyed both the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths, as well as several migrating Steppe Tribes, and was kicking so much ass the game had to assign him the "Arrogant" trait. I'm using a mod that changes offices to be more like AoC where iirc they were indefinite appointments (this makes them 200 turns long, 50 fucking years) and he just finished his term of office as supreme commander - thats how long he has been kicking ass. He is the only remaining man from the original group of generals that saved the empire from the barbarian incursions at the beginning of the campaign.

Am I missing something here? Is there something in Warhammer total war that isn't in all the other games? I always am in the upper hand yet still lose how can that be?!

While I'm here some anon recommended the other day that as the VC I try going South and conquering the empire the long way round.

So far this has been one of my most enjoyable campaigns. The dorfs all hate me but the orcs love me. Grimgor won the badlands bowl and while I had to eat Averland on the way down, the empire has almost entirely ignored me. Except Stirland so I ate them too.
110 turns in and I still haven't built a unit recruitment building due to a massive amount of huge battle sites.

I'm trying to think of an setting with a lot of famous figures other than various Chinese eras, particularly Warring States and Three Kingdoms. Mughal unification of India maybe?? War of the Roses? Revolutionary War was already kinda covered in Empire wasn't it? I don't know if any of them have quite the variety though.

For one, only two real factions. Second, it'd upset the player base no matter how they handle it. They either alienate people by allowing you to play as the Confederacy or by not allowing you to play as the Confederacy. Not to mention how they'd handle slavery. It's an era that in terms of gameplay mechanics would be interesting but is just too much of an emotional powderkeg for Americans, especially in today's politically charged environment.

I own both. Bloodbowl II is still just bloodbowl with some nicer graphics. I didnt play it too much but I think it had less single player option and more Multiplayer.
Mordheim is a really punishing and gloomy game, nice amount of options but it punishes you in the same manner as darkest dungeon.

Sounds like the Sengoku era again, between big battles that could have gone another way entirely and changed history quite a lot.

>>
>>180499183

They aren't.

There are 15 races that had armybooks that were legal during 8th edition, the edition that TWWH is based on.

That leaves one

The last race that had an armybook that never got updated was Chaos Dwarfs who last had a proper armybook during 5th edition.

And also if they're ever gonna add Ogres as anything other than a fucking horde faction (Which they will need to if they wanna use more than 1 of their lord characters) then Chaorfs are pretty much required since the Mountains of Mourne where the Ogres live is behind where the Chaos Dwarfs live

Yes, they are patched in.
Grim&Grave and King&Warlord have units for the four base game factions though, the AI of the same faction as you still gets to use them even if you don't own the DLC so the "we patch everything in" thing is kind of a stab in the dick as well

Its fucking sad lad. If the attitude of social justice is allowed to be any more pervasive we wontt even be allowed to have any total war games because they celebrate patriarchy and white racists.

Just picked up wood elves in the sale. couple quick questions before i play.

I saw in the thread that while most of their units are good a couple of their units just suck. Which ones should i avoid?

Should i focus on confederating the other factions before anything else like Bretonnian?

And for the Elf lord/heroes what spells are ones that are must get and which are just kinda meh?

At least call them kunoichi and governors or something. And the era was ride with betrayal, backstabbing, and plundering, you're not going to turn a long time ally against you just because you went back on a promise with a short-term ally. Nor are your samurai going to constantly shout about shame and shit. Not even getting into how taking down the Ashikaga wouldn't cause everyone to suddenly hate you.

They're an abortion that GW has long since swept under the rug.

Mostly due to the fact that a major aspect of their lore was the fact that they reproduced solely by kidnapping and raping human women.

>>180504828
Minotaurs are by far the most fun unit in the game. Their campaign mechanics are also solid, chance to ambush with every attack, ability to hide when in trouble so you don't get chased across the map with a near dead stack i.e Chaos. Minicampaign is pretty crud though and their roster while fun, does lack the most out of all the races. Very fun to play even so.

I can get Attila, Age of Charlemagne, The Last Roman, and Blood and Burning for 20 USD

should I do it? is that a good deal? I absolutely detest Rome II but I've never tried Attila before.
>>
>>180513419

Attila is a great game, Id would however recommend going as cheap as possible if it's your first go at it. Just get the base game and play it for a bit, if you like it you can pick up the dlcs later. I mean the sale isn't over today is it?

I prefer to think of the fact that I've played over 1000 hours in Total Warhammer , and I've payed probably less than 50$ with game and DLCs combined

>I lost to Welves therefore Welves are bad
Lad they're one of the strongest campaign armies, the only reason you lost is because Welves are also one of the hardest campaign armies to fight:
>Kiting archery
>Damage dealing infantry & monsters if you catch their line
>Tree monsters very persistent (others not so much, but by the time you've beat them archer units have kited away, shooting you as you try to chase)
>Murder deers then hit you up the arse (or drag your cav well away from the main engagement)
>>
>>180515784
rockets are worthless unless naval battle.

>>180515784
well in the 2 examples I listed those don't have enough ap to be effective, whereas the cannons do and will often bounce/roll through the formation and kill quite a few troops

Use cannons to whittle down heroes and large units

Use hellfire rockets to shit on basic infantry clumps.

I like sending flagellants forward since they're unbreakable and holding up most of the enemy defense while my artillery goes to town. Once they reach my main force several of the enemy units are already at half health

Delfs have:
>Very fast light cav (Dark Riders)
>Slow melee cav (Cold Ones)
Helfs have:
>Very fast light cav (Reavers)
>Fast charge/melee cav (Silver Helms)
>Fast elite cav (Dragon Princes)

Anyone else concerned Delfs are going to lose the flank cav battles?
Slow cav, like Orc boar boys, aren't that useful for the flank cav vs cav battles (they don't catch their quarry) and Dark Riders won't pack a punch.
Here's hoping they make Repeater Crossbows OP so they become top tier missile cav (but no crossbow unit has good AP compared to gunpowder units).
Doomfire Warlocks with Doombolt might have a use depending on how powerful they make the spell and what cooldown they put on it.

Khazrak and his warherd have moved in on the final bastion of Carroburg, the months of Chaos corruption have not been kind to the landscape. General Valgeir and the entirety of the Eslohe garrison make their last stand in a hilly barren region, hoping that if they don't defeat the warherd that they might at least buy enough time for the women and children of the village to make an attempt to cross the chaos infested Drakwald to safety of the Talabec.

After much jostling and posturing we find the Carroburg contingent in formation atop a hill.
Khazrak has positioned his herd to attack from 3 angles, ungor raiders and spearmen on the man-filths right flank, dogbeasts from the rear and the main assault of Gors, Harpies and Minotaurs head on.

The engagement on the left flank goes favourably for the beasts. Ungor spears tie up flagellants and human spearmen while raiders lay missiles into their backs.
Chaos warhounds engage militia and crossbowmen to the rear while the front assault up the hill gets underway without too many casualties for the beastmen.

The battle takes a turn for the brayherd. The shaman is brought low by the combined might of the General and Captain and makes to flee the battle. Ungors and gors nearby begin to lose their resolve and flee.

Delfs have harpies which could act as shit charge interceptors too and pin units for a Cold One charge.
Still concerned their lack of hard hitting mobile cav will see Delfs beaten on the flanks.
Playstyle may be to use Crossbow Dark Riders and Doomfire Warlocks to missile harrass enemy cav and draw them away from the main engagement and towards ambushes, while keeping the Cold Ones closer to the line for tighter flank charges (rather than the wide ranging movements of faster cav) closer to the line.
Cold Ones getting the Velocipator treatment should be very good in sustained melee close to the line anyway.

I wouldn't read too much into Helf stats from the demo battle, they were there as foils to showcase & lose to Lizards.

>>180531458
Dwarfs have basically no large/cavalry so avoid units like spearmen and halberdiers and make sure you stock up on armor piercing (handgunners, greatswords, etc) since that's a major focus in dwarf units. If you use artillery avoid using cannons since those are more for large and single units, hellfire battery will let you do more damage overall to groups.
>>
>>180531686
Nevermind misread your post>>180531458


Basically as dwarfs make sure you get anti-large and in general keep a decent mix as possible since the Empire is basically good at everything Empire cav can really fuck you up as well as missles so getting shielded and anti-cav is your best bet

So how do people usually start as wood elves? Do you not really expand unless something really close is available and get your amber from diplomacy?

I kind of made a mess of my first time playing cause i completely under estimated how little early on the little forts help in terms of income. And i really could not afford an army that could defend the stuff i caught from the herds of beastmen that wander about the area cause i over extended a bit too much.

I'd say Medieval 2, it's the best of the pre-warscape games plus has a lot of total conversion mods.

But Shogun 2 is also really solid but does suffer from a lack of faction diversity.

Rome is fine it's just not as polished/expansive as Medieval 2.

State of the Empire as of 460 AD

I had to spend a long time researching civic techs and building up my economy before I could really go all in on the Sassanids, but now I am making around 20k/turn and am making steady progress into anatolia. I've turned Dacia into a military recruitment province so that I don't have to travel as far to re-fill any depleted armies.

Atropatene yoinked the last Rugian settlement in the steppe from my grasp, so there still is an enemy prescence up there. However Macedonia loves me because of my war against the Sassanids, so I may be able to launch expeditions up there from their territory.

I was sure that the ERE was going to get finished off by the Sassanids, but somehow they have managed to counterattack and push into Syria.

The sissynig armies are a pain in the ass to deal with since WRE cavalry is absolute dogshit and my autism dictates that I only use Herculiani in an army with the Emperor/his heir in it. It also doesn't help that your best skirmishers have slinger-tier range and get massacred by Kurdish archers, which leaves you defenseless against the endless waves of sissynid crossbow cav. It doesn't help that the AI seems to be able to charge its cataphracts into my braced frontline and still end up killing half of my unit, which is just ridiculous.

If you're truely new to the series I'd rather recommend you shogun 2 or maybe rome 2 or Attila.

Everything before that has the potential to scare you away, simply because Medieval 2 and rome 1 are both a bit older games.

>>180539769

Only submod I use is faster battles 2.0. I like the slowness on the campaign map. The supply system is basically you need to keep supply lines to your armies by adding a baggage train to the army, keep supplies high in the regions by buildings that increase it and not let an army sit forever in any one region because it eats supply. When transporting across the seas you'll need a babysitter fleet with supply ship or you'll lose half your army to attrition.

The population thing is a integrated mod, think it's called peoples of Rome or something. It gives you a pool of people to recruit from, say you wanna get some Equites, well, you can't if there are no Patricians in the region and so on.

DeI got its own icons, no pottery.

Javelins can do work but got low ammo, usually need to flank with them to get good results.

Just bought TWW and all the DLC

Is it true that there are certain settlements that cannot be conquered by specific factions? If so is there a map of this (especially for Empire)?
>>
>>180540262

Disband armies if they're not needed, or move them around. Total War is a constant expansion, so I just usually invade something new when I need to.

Your towns have garrisons by themselves, but a region with good food production can keep an army in it for a long time, so it's not like you need to shuffle all the time. It's mostly a problem in newly conquered or heavily fought over regions that haven't had a chance to stabilize.

I play on h/n or vh/n if feeling like it. The AI is what you can expect from a total war game... ie not that good. The difficulty lies in not overexpanding and getting ganged up on by too many factions at once. My last campaign I was doing Romans, when I started fucking Carthage in north africa the greeks, ptolemys and thracians all started pushing my eastern borders.

Raiding was made better for barbarian factions I think, havent played barbar in a while. I *think* they get supply from it.

No pottery icons at all left in the mod, it's all photo.

a single army has 20 units, you can field 2 armies at the same time, so 40 units, vs 40 units. It's quite common to get those size battles, and DeI increase the unit sizes as well. Standard infantry is 240-300 unit man strong.

There's a "softcore" mod I think that reduce unit upkeep, imperium penalties etc.

>>180540914
Always put two anti-large units to your flanks and one to near your artillery.

You either turtle or go balls deep.

Pick your frontline considering the weakness of your opponent's faction (ie Great Weapons against Dwarves etc)
>>
>>180540914
Pretty sure the AI gets moral and stat bonuses on higher difficulties so I don't see why anyone would play with a battle difficulty higher than normal. It's not like it makes the AI any smarter.
>>
>>180538606
Just get what you think you'll enjoy, they all add in things that are useful.

The race packs are self explanatory they're well done just read the steam page and see if they're something you'd play. The only weak one is Chaos because they're under cooked and have a pretty boring campaign.

the lord packs are both pretty useful. Grim and the Grave is good if you like playing Empire/Vamps. But King and the Warlord has the most bang for buck, giving you two new factions with a new objective on top of new characters and units.

The good thing is any DLC/factions you don't get will still show up for NPC's so you can still fight factions you've not brought etc.

And in my opinion the blood pack is worth it, playing without gore just feels wrong and things like the dismemberment stuff working on vampire count units is pretty fun. If the blood is too over the top for you though I'd recommend the 'less blood less gore' mod.

Also be sure you activate the FLC stuff on the store page, it doesn't activate automatically which is annoying.

Not only does Archaon refuse to be redirected to Northland, he has to be a dick about it too.

>so I don't see why anyone would play with a battle difficulty higher than normal
because the game is piss-easy without those bonuses?
>>
>>180541418
I dunno, it just rustles my autism when line troops become basically unbreakable. I jack up the campaign difficulty to very hard but I always leave the battle difficulty on normal.
>>
>>180541565
>>180541280
I noticed that. The AI basically never routs on very hard, even if they have literally 200 health left. Unless their general is dead.

Playing Warhammer, trying various combinations. Trying to win an Empire v Dwarfs battle currently, my biggest issue is just not utilizing idle troops because so much shit is going on.
>>
>>180540491
Yes if they increase replenishment rate
>>
>>180541680
>is just not utilizing idle troops
well that can only be improved with practice, there is no trick or secret to it
>Empire v Dwarfs battle currently
this can actually be pretty difficult early on, because you probably have no armour pen, and manlets have a ton of armour, you need halberdiers, or gunners, or artillery
>>
>>180540634
Have they changed maps at all like in warhammer
If I release soldiers does that increase the population, thus reflecting actual Roman imperialism
How reliable are vassals in this game, will they just declare independence when you're weak in war
When you say 2 armies at a time do you mean only one can reinforce or ...
Also can my war fleets engage enemies on the coast but aren't in settlements, like sailors disembarking

Can recommend it. I played a lot of Europa Barbarorum and recently a bit of Rome 2 with Radiou before trying it out. Normally with Rome I manage to basically kick the shit out of Carthage in no time flat. In this one Epirus managed to take Benevuntum from me, raid Umbria while I was trying to reconquer Benevuntum, and then fought a few more battles over the area while Sicily took Rhegion from me. Eventually I managed to stabilise my economy enough that I could raise two large armies to push Phyrrus out of Italy. It's the most fun I've ever had playing as Rome.

Taking cities is harder, battles take longer, soldiers march slower and slog it out for longer, morale is more important even though everyone has more of it, and you have to make decisions to keep your soldiers alive instead of making ridiculous gambits on the basis that your army will just be replenished in three turns.

Also buildings no longer cost food. Food has been entirely rebalanced.

It's most likely only lustria can be settled by all because of how fertile soil is.
But if we could mod settle everywhere we can mod not settle everywhere

Can any lorefags explain the relationship between Chaos and the Vampire Counts?

>>180540491
no

>declare war on an faction I had a trade agreement with, because they were about to wipe out a faction I had a non aggression pact with and was trying to ally with
>all of a sudden I'm MEGA HITLER and all of my allies start breaking agreements with me because I'm TOTALLY UNRELIABLE

Fuck, I'd totally understand if I declared war with a non aggression pact active but fuck it was just a trade agreement
>>
>>180542007
they hate eachother with a passion, chaos ultimately wants souls dedicated/belonging to them while vampires have gained the powers of vampirism by binding their etheral souls to their physical bodies.

Meaning that when a vampire dies it's gone for good. Also meaning that chaos cannot get the souls of vampires.

or the souls of the dead which they raise.
>>
>>180542185
So basically Chaos feels cucked by the Vampires
>>
>>180542171
should have cancelled the agreement first

>>180542246
pretty much, they are stagnant so Tzeentch hates them, they raise dead and chill out so Khorne hates them, Slaanesh finds them boring I guess, and Nurgle, well no idea about that fat fuck. And again, chaos can't get their souls which causes a lot of bumhurt to the gods

>'Gist is a master, but even a master cannot hope to render such flawless beauty with a clumsy brush.'
'Gist is dead' Isabella said, lost suddenly in the memory of it.'I ate him.'
'Is, was, it matters not, countess. The choice of words is nothing but semantics. The proof of his labours is there in your hands, a timeless reminder of your beauty. If you forget yourself you need only gaze upon it as it hangs on the wall to be reminded. And for us beauty never fades.'
'Yes.' Isabella mused. 'Yes. I should like that. I am beautiful, aren't I?'
'Yes, countess.'
'And I will always be this way?'
'Yes, countess. For eternity.'
'Thank you, herman.'

it takes it takes like 5 god damn turns to wait for that shit to not give you a penalty.

>>180541771
Another issue I'm having is that my units seem to be routing ridiculously fast. I can have Karl safe at full health and yet my greatswords are routing if their health drops less than a quarter, which opens my frontline up for flanking
>>
So I want to play a campaign that isn't just a hard early game and then a steamroll the rest of the time.

Any mods to make the later stages of the game more of a challenge?

well sorta, vampires are also really dislike their food supplies growing 3rd eyes, and chaos tainted blood is not healthy for vampires.

Feelings mutual.
>>180542463
what anon says here is true, but to add to that nurgle is absolutely fucking livid that vampires are immune to all of his sweet gifts/

I love warhammer lore tbqh

>>180542556
does your general have any traits that lower leadership? are your units getting surrounded attacked in the rear? does the enemy have terror/fear armies? Hover your mouse over the leadership bar and see why its so low, also try keeping your general in the middle of your forces for the morale boost, or get a priest to do the same, consider investing points into the red skill tree

I heard that nurgle fucking hate vampires. He attacked von carstein with his champions. Vlad later defended Averland against him.
But some warhammerfag told me about it, I don't know what exactly happened.
>>
>>180543401

Nurgle got the corpse of issabella and posessed it with a greater daemon, also gave her false memories so she hated Vlad. They fought and Vlad took of his ring and forced it on Issabella's hand before killing them both, freeing her from the demon's influence.

Honestly Vlad is the best good guy.

He said attila not trashammer, you know, the good one

Are wood elves and beastmen worth 11 yuropoors? And if I have to choose which one should I buy?
>>
>>180544546

WElves in my opinion. Main campaign is tedious but the minicampaign is good. Beastmen are the reverse, their minicampaign is awful, on the main campaign they're fun.

As A Hungarian I'm pretty sure Hitler didn't think highly of us. I heard he planned to get rid of us as well as many other nations he considered slavic, despite the fact that Hungary isn't slavic at all.
