>>124380641
Because you first talk shit about other people being unable to pronounce it and then find yourself unable to produce proof you can it yourself.

If I make an offhand comment about how you might have murdered somebody and you start shouting how you didn't do it, hand me three phone numbers to call for alibis and swear to "never make any stupid mistakes like that" ever again if I don't call the cops then I might grow suspicious

I'm starting to doubt you can pronounce any English words, maybe you are even unable to speak at all.
Or is it a heavy accent that reveals your pedestrian upbringing and summons in you feelings of disgrace and infamy?

There is no shame in it, but you should stop criticizing other people if you are unable to live up to your own standards.

Finally the Sassanids will have a threat, this was the best choice for an extra faction because it also helps campaign map balance.

You really should have specified you meant "White Huns" and not Huns that are white people

Everyone knows the faction name White huns though.

>>124382514

Morale: +20 when fighting the Sassanids

Attrition: Immune to desert attrition

Income: +100% from sacking, looting and raiding

Nigga, the "new units" are just copypasted unit from alredy playable factions

And the alan roster is the same shit : copy/pasted units with like 2 shields and 1 armors for the entire unit

Even a mod on the workshop can bring a better roster and new faction.

There's several completely new ones, and you're missing the point that it rebalances the campaign

Too much stuff in it, either the civ parts of teh game would be lacking or the total war parts would be.

>>
>>124388742
Just remember the basic rules of Attila.

Unless you could completely dominate the battle, don't auto-resolve. Auto-resolve means losing more troops than you normally would, and those troops are usually the ones that make the difference in a battle instead of the shitty, basic units you use to hold people in place.

Fear Attila.

Sassanids are easy mode (but might not be when this new faction comes out).

Aksum is best.

>>124389210
>Aksum is best.

>>
>>124389096
Again, the AI cheats. They get a bonus to income, public order, sanitation if that's part of the game, as well as being able to convert units into other units.

To stop that last one, the pastebin has a link to a mod. Or you could just use the Rights of Man mod to stop it, as well as get a better realm divide event.

I don't buy miniatures, just use them sometimes for references when doing texturing but you can get an entire fucking army of hoplites or whatever for how much maybe 3-6 40k miniatures will cost. I understand the 40k ones can be more detailed but still it's unreal.

What? Infinity has a higher price per model, it only comes out as cheaper because you need less to start playing.

23 euros and you get 10 gw multi part plastic models
starter packs for inifinity have 6/7 models and cost around 30/40 euros
>>
>>124393234

I'm guessing here since I don't have the firsthand experience but it seems like 40k is the most prevalent/popular. I don't know of any other sci fi/fantasy stuff that matches it in presence and all the historical wargaming stuff seems much more diffused over a lot of different companies since the armies and the lists are generally independent of one another.

If I were Creative Assembly and just wanted shekels I would have approached TW:Arena more like an online version of miniatures wargaming with a dash of MOBA/ASSFAGGOTS - paper-doll your units, sell new textures/gear and all that.

You should only have tentative appreciation for a business. They make a product and you give them money, that's the extent of the relationship.

Magic is broken, so it's shit. Steamtanks and monsters isn't interesting we already saw how they works in Med2 mods.
Rome2 have more dynamic gameplay, unlike WH where during the flank charge knights didn't kill even 10 of enemies, where large unit of infantry attacks big monster by one soldier.

Heroes are a big part of the game with skill trees and all. Brets and not-Poland will have completely different heroes and completely different magic.

>>124406313
>I havent played it but im acting like i have
I've played it, tons of people have played it. It plays really uniquely and it's good fun. Magic isn't overpowered. It's much different to every other total war and a standard hammer and anvil wont cut it anymore.
>>
The only thing warhammer might have a problem with me is that they are already doing dlc shit, with every race being copy and paste afterward but i cant see how rats and lizard men will be copy and paste, will chaos dlc be copy and paste though? or did they actually work on it? they said they are doing full blown expansions instead of dlc right? like shogun 2? So maybe every expansion will give us more races? I think they said that the map will be getting bigger as the expansions come out.

CA said that each battle will have max 20 units per side, no one is doubting the variety in warhammer, a single faction has more variety than the entirety of M2, it's the battle mechanic

>>124407046
Wait so all the human races are in but how? why aren't they playable? are they just cpu or copy and paste shit till we get a expansion that adds their real units? every warhammer race has its own models, so how the fuck can you just go and do that? you dont even have to think you have the real models already to base them off of and their lore and what they do. or am i wrong or do we just not fucking know?

I assume it would be like this, like celts in Attila they will be eventually fleshed out.

It's unrealistic to expect every faction to have their unique roster at launch

I cant wait to see steam tanks, it just proves one day we will have WW1+2 maybe in one full game with you starting with ww1 tec all the way to the end of ww2. It will be like war thunder but total war. we can even have named character heroes like the desert fox. and the unit variety would be huge. ww1 planes and tanks all the way to ww2.
I can dream.

>>124407494

Because they require a ton of work man, you don't compare it to say rome 2 where you have culture blocks and the only variety is between those blocks (and even then they share all the animations etc.) you compare it to other strategy games like Dawn of war where the faction have a great variety in terms of animations, voice work, particle effects etc., TW has been the exception so far in terms of number of factions when every other strategy games has 2-4 on launch because most faction in total war are the same.

Also the uniqueness extends to the campaign map, like for example the orc mechanics or the visual changes like the corruption from vampires or settlement changes.

I expect Tilea, the Border princes and Estalia will just have empire clones, kislev might have a unique unit or two at the start, the norse will have the marauders from the chaos warriors faction. I really think only bretonnia will really be fleshed out in the beginning. later freelc and dlc will then add more unique rosters and hopefully factions.

As other anons have said a key aspect of warhammer total war is how unique each campaign faction is and the focus on a legendary unique leader with their own quest chains. Making these elements feel unique and characterful while still being balanced with the rest of the campaign is probably a good bulk of the work in making a faction. Not to mention the different types of magic that certain factions will have access too. (kislev ice magic, Bretonnia Life and Beast magic)

Somewhere halfway inbetween.

Since they will be 3 games that you can play stand alone. but they will also all combine into a single map if you have all 3. They're basically different portions of the world map.

>>124415742
It's not really misused, the warp is a fucking horrifying place of mind break, things man was not meant to know completely unfathomable elder beings.

They confirmed it. The three games will cover a different part of the warhammer game, and all of them will be playable alone. If you have more than one game though, you can have a grand campaign that merges the sections of the world you have.

It's like a puzzle. You buy the first game and of course have access to all of the lands within the first game. When the second warhammer comes out, it will be a part of the same .exe, but it will add a massive chunk of land, dependent on what lands they're doing for the second and third games, then when the third game comes it, it pieces together with the other two and you end up with one super fuckhuge map with lots of detail

How would you make TW actually hard and challenging?

Here's a few things I'd do

>All major capital cities have at least a 20 unit garrison from the very beginning, no more autoresolving the siege of Rome on turn 10. Garrisons can go up to 40 units.
>Reduce the width of battle maps so that a line effectively covers the battlefield, flanking is now much, much harder and usually requires a break through
>add unit caps based on a manpower system for 2 or 3 classes, noble units for example have a cap of 10% of your force, this means you cant just get mega rich and have an army of super soldiers

I agree with the TW games should be harder, buy your suggestions are retarded, exept for better garrisons, there should be better ones.

Flanking should remain the same way, AI should just be improved to better their use of reseves to intercept flanking units and better use of flanking themselves.

And the economic systems should just be made more expansive, but if you make bank, than you get the advantage. This is Total WAR, the wealth of an empire is as important as it's generals and armies.

>Flanking should remain the same way, AI should just be improved to better their use of reseves to intercept flanking units and better use of flanking themselves.
I disagree. Historically battles didn't take place on gigantic fields with exposed flanks, armies always sought to protect their flanks somehow, usually with natural barriers. In TW that doesn't exist because you never choose your battlefield, and with God powers to control your units its ridiculously easy to run them right around the enemy and attack the rear. It's just far too easy.

There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in total war modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic Europa Barbarorum or its medieval counterpart Stainless Steel. Radious mod will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Radious mod, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.


Superficially, Radious mod appears to be a mod which caters to the most proletarian among men; aloof critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As complacent as these self-proclaimed "understanders of strategy" are, they fail to realize that Radious mod is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Radious mod pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts.

As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Radious mod would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.

They should remove the province system, but keep the limited slots, then, instead of a single "building" taking up a slot, a slot is allocated to factor of production, like making one a market center, which then gives you more options to make the benefits and negatives of that slot more piecemeal.

Then, they should create a cultural border/area of influence style system and more buildings that have effects that spread to nearby areas.

If you, for example, have a market slot in a city build for improving the commerce of nearby settlements through trade and commerce multipliers, but only to the those in the area of influence, and an enemy army has the ability to disrupt the effect by raiding and making forts in between the two connected cities.

Carthage could have risen again without a Roman check on them, history would have been severely altered by the year 0 that Christianity (and Islam) would have never existed
Horsefuckery would have just torn right through Europe with ease, displacing tribes left and right, but the rising Carthage would have also conflicted with the Sillykids, and the pressure of horsefuckery and migrants could have easily weakened the sillykids, giving Carthage a time to shine before it would have collapsed for much of the same reasons as Rome from there its anyone's guess and even then it's all conjecture when history can change in an instant

Pure roman genes are fucking extinct, there were only at most a few million "pure" Romans and it's been well over 2000 years of raping and interbreeding and being conquered has for certain diluted them.

I have never truly delved into a Total War game before. But Total War Warhammer has me excited and curious so I want to go through one of these games before I got for Warhammer. Which one's the best? I know the pastebin says Medieval II, but then Fall Of The Samurai sounds great too because of the variety it has, and I know many places still rank Rome 1 the best in the series.
>>
>>124377550
Charlemagne soon
>>
>>124453854
Shogun II is a good spot to start off for new players. M2 and Rome are only really good with the mods that you find in the pastebin. Otherwise the games are rather lackluster vanilla. If you like the timeperiod, I would say give Atilla a go. That is people's number one complaint about it and is a very good addition to the series.
>>
>>124451443
Teppo are balanced. If a human isn't balanced he'll fall over.
>>
>>124451238
They are partially based on Khazars, lots of pulp fantasy villains are, including Thulsa Doom in the Conan movie, but the "ashkenazi=khazar" myth is just that. Studies indicate that Jewish y-DNA largely comes from the Levant.

They were small and agile. Asian horse archers always fucked European knights every time they met in battle.

Yes, they would get fucked in a headon charge. But they would never allow it.
>>
>>124469708
Jap horses had terrible stamina and because of that were often much slower than most medieval breeds. For comparison even a heavy destrier laden with an armoured man could maintain speeds of 30km/hr whilst the average jap horse loaded with armor of that era was described to gallop at 18km per hour and can barely gallop for more than 10 minutes.. besides which japan has a mostly mountainous terrain which will fuck them over in this hypothetical conflict.
>>
>>124447423

That target isn't moving like a man in armor would be, though. In the end, the battle would still come down to a melee, and I'm still of the opinion that a force of big European knights in full plate armor would smash the crap out of a unit of samurai in a melee.

Of course, you could always advance forward and compare the Japanese against the pike and shot armies that made use of the tercio formations, in which case it's a pretty big toss-up.

What, you mean only the mongols which also trashed the japs terribly? Europe faced middle eastern horse archers during the crusades and it didn't affect them that much. Accounts wrote of arrows pinging off or simply sticking in armor whilst the knight would simply continue on.

We call them with Huns because some Roman that wrote an account on them called them that, the real name is hepthalite something empire and during this time fucked mostly with India and the Sassanids, although the Sassanids defeated them eventually.

A lot of people think sassyniggers had to deal only with Rome but there were some occasions when they had to face east and north, although rarely because of the geography of the place.

Here's a better idea: add a real-time manoeuvre phase before the battle engages. It'd use the tactical overview over say a 10x10 mile grid with contour lines and shit on it. You can't see the enemy unless you use scouts and you have to get your army into the best ground you can before the enemy does. When you get into battle-map range the battle begins

I'm here. What's up. Status update is:

-Recruitment is set up, stats are set up, I need Dresden to do the algorithm for unit costs but that's easy. I have to make FOTE pack 0 compatible with the new sand tables. Given only 4 days until Age of Charlemagne we'll wait till that patch hits to do a double whammy of compatibility with it. After 4.0 (Empires of sand stuff) is out I'll work on Nordics/Celts and overhaul just visuals, not stats (I hope) for Age of Charlemagne. I guess for 4.0 I will also have to make sure there are no faux pas with the new Alans and White Huns. Always hate having to go back to a faction when there are more to work on, but for the Alans I can see about keeping their new melee cav (right now they are just jav/bow or lance cav). However overhauling the white huns is liable to wait until I tackle the Sassanids - they'd really just be a mix of Hun stuff and Sassanian.

From http://wiki.totalwar.com/images/8/88/AOC_armory.png

I always like more spangenhelms and they have quite a few. The Arab's helmets are a little bit more ambiguous to be used in non-charlemagne time but it's viable. The blue kaftan with mail worn underneath is good, as is the orange turban round the qalansuwa (With it I could do a late 7th early 8th century depiction of an Umayyad guardsmen I saw).

I like CA's new mail haubekrs a lot more than the Attila ones - they seem to have a much tighter neck area and aren't so low cut at the collar & the absence of that masked tunic means less problems (Using a CA heavy mail hauberk with the faction colored undershirt but then a different color sleeve).

The red tunic with lamellar is pretty neat looking.

The Umayyads'll be real fun for me as I like the berber aesthetic and am really happy with how mine look (this is the generic arab bodyguard cav, not berbers) but on their own berbers are really impoverished - let alone not playable. Why I like factions that use the berbers as auxiliaries - Andalusia, Carthage, ect.
>>
>>124484316
Are the units different if you go pagan? That's really neat

Are the general berber tiering of looks. Top is sedentary/highlander cavalry, fairly average and drab looking with the berber's ubiqutous 'flowing unbelted tunic'. Second is nomadic moorish cavalry, with far more guys wearing the sexy goatskin cloak/drape attested to the Berbers. The hoods are in because of accounts of a leather hooded cloak being synonymous with some/the berbers & perhaps the origin to the later national dress of the Burnouse.

Third are the numidian nobles (some of the shield patterns are from DEI.) Ought to have some not wearing mail and some wearing it, but whatevs.

Last are the Saharan Berber camelry.Was uncertain about this aesthetic because it's not clear when the Saharan berbers shifted from the AE/DEI era 'penis sheath and a half cloak" as old as New Kingdom Egypt to looking more tuareg-y. But it ended up looking pretty damn neat. Not sure that kind of unit would occur for the Emirate of Cordoba, however.

I haven't played much with Hordes but using the army I started with to liberate a bunch of regions and then building the horde up after that did a lot.

Codex: Hordes

1: Move/Use Hordes in pairs
2: Liberate and subjugate small to medium factions
3: Sack and raze medium to large factions
4: Create hordes in Ally/Trib regions
4a: slowly build up horde army/economy
4b: Create second horde(Follow 4a)
5: Back to Step 1

Advanced Tactics: Invasion

1: Identify medium to large faction you wish to destroy
2: explore faction with Agents
2a: find and mark out food producing regions
3: disrupt public order
4: trespass with hordes in raiding stance
4a: use tertiary hordes to starve outer regions
5: attack food producing regions and raze them
6: lack of supplies and burden of raiding starves enemies
7: attack remaining cities piecemeal until destroyed

Notes:
1: Try to make tributaries and liberate factions as much as possible.
2: Siege artillery is great for hordes.. no really.
3: Fuck Tanukhids and their fucking bullshit pikes
>>

We’re still deep in the Blasted Wastes, and it’s time to be introduced to a very unusual Orc in the Race of Greenskins… Meet the next Legendary Lord for the Greenskin army, Azhag the Slaughterer.

Who do you think would win in a fight between Azhag and Grimgor? Here’s some more information on Azhag the Slaughterer to help you make a decision:

Azhag is unusual amongst Orcs, and all the more terrifying because of it. Whereas most Orcs rely only on their brutish strength to achieve their ends, Azhag can grasp far-seeing strategy, utilising it to gain the edge on his enemies. To have such a tactical mind as Azhag possesses is entirely peculiar to most Greenskins. Though plenty are more than happy to follow a Warboss who wins the battles he picks so consistently and with such flair, something about him seems unnatural. He talks with words other Greenskins do not understand.

At times, his eyes glow with a dark aura. Occasionally he can be found in a trancelike state, mumbling or even arguing with himself incoherently. Rumours abound that the iron crown sitting atop his brow is actually an age-old relic, possessed of an ancient and powerful evil. Through this artefact Azhag has achieved a dark communion, augmenting his simple mind with the notably un-Orcish gifts of foresight and guile, earning him his fearsome reputation and grizzly title.
>>
>>124490783

Looks cool, where did you get it
>>
>>124490783
do you think Azhag and Grimgor will be two differents "faction"?

Like can you declare war to Grimgor as Azhag?
>>
>>124490783

So Azhag is brutally cunning, while Grimgor is cunningly brutal.
>>
>>124490961

That's an interesting question because I remember them saying that if you chose one legendary lord you wouldn't be able to have the other one in your campaign, but during the greenskin campaign reveal they had both at the same time.

Maybe it was just for that one presentation though.

This question is kind of stupid seeing as Grimgor, in the lore, is pretty much unbeatable. Even the Kislevites couldn't beat him in combat it took their icewitch of a queen to summon a massive, magical Blizzard that guided him in circles. In any form of combat, Grimgor would absolutely brutalize Azhag, but Azhag could also use magic to lock him up or something like that if we're letting them use any means available to them.

The Dwarven lords are both independent from eachother, so I imagine it'll be the same with the Orcs.

>>124491069
Apparently when you beat one LL as the other, you get the option of recruiting them to your cause.
>>
>>124491937
The dwarves might have some sort SPQR shit going on like between the Julii, Scipii and Brutii in Rome 1. They're all very independant and usually don't care much for one another, but can be acalled upon by the Dwarven High King.

I imagine you'll get major penalties for starting wars that don't involve the reclamation or grudge systems. So trying to fight Thorgrim as Ungrim will fuck you up.
>>
>>124492242
Most likely, maybe the other Dwarves might even declare war on you. I'd imagine there'd be huge penalties, CA seem to be going for a very close-to-lore approach and no matter how grudgey Dwarves can be, they hold other Dwarves and Dwarven culture way above everything else. They're like the Elves in that regard, just more working-class.

>>124492546
Yeah, I think you'll definelty be able to sandbox a little. Maybe Roleplay that your particular Thane/Faction leader is powercrazy or jsut thinks his clan is vastly superior to all others.

While we're on this topic, I'd like a grudge system in which you could punish enemy/neutral/friendly armies that trespass on your land, or if a faction spies on you you could be able to fight a battle with one of their armies without actually having to go into a full scale war. That would be sticking to the lore; while dwarfs are fairly fond of humans (at least realtively to other races), they'd never back down to avenge a grudge and it'd a nice dynamic wherein you could maybe add onto your friendliness with a dwarf by offering up that specific character/army for a battle or the like.
>>
>>124491069
I am pretty sure they said somewhere that the legendary lord you didn't choose would join you in the later turns.
>>
>>124491805
I bet they appreciated them when the rockets blew a hole in the city wall that they were attacking

plus they've been fighting horsefcukers from Baghdad. they're used to chink eyes by now

Azhag predates Metzen the crown he wears belonged to Nagash (the inspiration for the lich king) which is why it allows him to control the lore of death and grants him intelligence.
>>
>>124492831
I wish I could find the source, but that is kind of like how they described the grudge system. Dynamic missions that crop up according to interactions between you and other nations.

To mention your other point. They did say you can ally with the Greenskins as the Empire, so dwarves on dwarves action should be possible.
>>

I wonder how exactly the Blight thing of the VC will work, and what effects it has on your troops vs enemy troops. Seems like a really, really interesting mechanic.

Wasn't it just a ceasefire?

>>
>>124493909
They said that theoretically, you can ally with them. I imagine however it'd be nearly impossible and wouldn't last very long.
>>
>>124494306
Maybe in a sense that you "ally" by just directing them towards the Dwarves, VC or Bretonnians.
>>
>>124493796
My guess is that you ruin surrounding fertility, turn the land into a flat, dead plain, and give morale/replenishment debuffs to non-vamps.

>>124493592
interesting to see if historicalfags will start caring about the lore.

Either way ignorance is always frustrating as fuck in a new release.

The Etruscans were a fun- loving and eclectic people who among other things taught the French how to make wine, the Romans how to build roads, and introduced the art of writing into Europe. They began to flourish around 900 B.C., and dominated much of Italy for five centuries.

Caring about the lore is even more stupid than caring about the historical accuracy of Total War

We are playing a video game that's inherently not historically accurate

The lore is completely made up and holds no weight whatsoever, it doesn't matter at all
Gameplay and how fun it is to play the game is more imporant than historical accuracy and so much more important than lore crap

Also current Warhammer lore is endtimes bullshit that's not involved in the game

You know, I've never considered that Azhag is basically Arthas, but an Orc. The guy he shares his head is literally a Lich King.

Is there anyone here that paid enough attention to The End Times to know what happened with Azhag after Nagash came back to life?
>>
>>124495673
And we know next to nothing about them because they got full on holocausted

get memed

>>124495887
It was finally, after many long months of constant mental infighting that the battle between the Crown and Azhag would cost them both everything. Within the infamous Battle of Osterwald, Azhag had once more diverted from the crown's intended path and headed straight into the path of an advancing Imperial army. It was during this battle that Azhag once again attacked headlong into a mass of Imperial Knights of the Order of the Knight's Panthers. The crown grew insane with rage that the Orc Warlord once more diverted from the invasion's intended route, and sought ever greater control over Azhag. The mental duelling left the Orc Warlord distracted at the most critical moment, and with this small window of weakness, Warlord Azhag was slain by Werner von Kreigstaldt, the Grand Master of the Knights Panther.

Without his evil genius to guide them, the Greenskins hordes were in disarray and was soon routed from the battlefield. As for the crown, the Grand Theogonist recognized its foul origins and sought to hide it from the world once and for all. Refusing to touch it with his bare flesh, he took the ancient relic back to the capital-city of Altdorf, where it was placed within the deepest darkest vaults beneath the Cathedral of Sigmar. From then on, the ancient crown had since been guarded eternally by both the ever vigilant Clergy of Sigmar and the powers of the Vault's ancient magical wards.

form a line
go for one side of their formation
abuse the fact that you can change speeds of ships and even stop them/go in reverse to bunch your ships up close
bait the enemy into crossing their own T by having an ironclad start firing upon them.
