IF OUR PRINCE IS TO BECOME EMPEROR

MILITARY RULER OF ALL ELECTOR COUNTS

How fast should I expand as the Empire?

My first game as them, I got memed by expanding too fast and overextending

Difficulty ranking from easiest to hardest

Dwarf > Vampire > Empire > Chaos > Orcs

Its true, you know it.

4th for why did they rename all the races in AoS

>>143759117
Secure empire borders first
Fuck expansion

From last thread:

>>143759014
>>143759016
I honestly dont know. I do what I'm supposed to. Kept my range dudes safe and constantly firing. Kept hit and running with my calvalry. Sent Karl after their lord to whip his ass. Then the reinforcements come and its all over.

>>143759090

Well, atleast most of it, if we can get a fucking mdoel importer.

>>143759117

Grab Marienburg immediately after you're done securing Reikland. Then sit on your ass and tech up, and if you get into a war sack instead of occupy to get mad dosh.

>>143759281

Extremely disappointing. I also didn't know that Chaos was such a bitch in combat. Beat their armies back and that was just about it. No End Times, no Storm of Chaos. Their invasion was more of a wimper than a bang.

There's a mod that doubles their numbers which seems intersting, using it alongside a flat 25% more taxes mod should make the AI better at defending as well.

I'm really hoping they at least add in some village maps or something for walless cities like there was in the m2 mod

>>143759436
I only realized about that trick after getting the Steam Tank. I'll have to try it with my next dwarves campaign

>>143759321
Never stop my friend.

dealing with norskan scum is a nightmare, it take ages to move around in the raiding stance

I have vampires on one side that I cant attack because 2 stacks are busy fighting norskans and KF is busy watching over Badlands and killing whatever orc stack he can get with hit and run tactics, I've been doing nothing but pressing end turn button while watching my armies crawl like a wounded turtle over the north, not fun desu

>>143759392
I got long campaign victory conditions twice. Theres no end cinematic.

>my orcs took 25% unit damage when dworfs came out of their settlement to meet them in battle

what is this and why does it exist?

>>143759436

The AI aims towards your artillery, especially with cavalry.

2. VAMPIRES
3. ORCS
4. DWARFS (FUCKING TAKES FOREVER TO FINISH GRUDGES)

>>143759436
The AI will spread out and try to encircle your arty with its own cavalry occassionally try to out flank you, you can't hammer and anvil them to death anymore.

Jesus I want to play MP but I'm terrified of it.

>>143759470
It could even have just one, it's not like we ever see them.
With my empire campaign of 150 turns i must've actually fought 2 sieges.

>>143759598
Hence the little greet boxes to defend them.

I didn't think anyone could fail to understand a diagram that simple but I stand corrected.

>>143759117
Slowly, very slowly. Use diplomacy with humans, your first focus should be immediately wiping out the successionists, then getting Stirland into confederation and moving through their land to wipe out the Vampires, the northern stuff gets raped by chaos/norse and is just a chore to deal with early game. When Archaeon shows up you get a massive boost to diplo and can start confederating with everyone. Fucking up the vampires also gets you big diplo boosts, same if you send a boat full of spear/crossbows to pillage the Norse coastal provinces, that'll help you get Marienburg into confederation. I just finished an Empire campaign that took about 140 turns and I never declared war on a human faction. End of the game literally every human/dwarf faction was allied with me and I had confederated all of the Empire but Nordland and Ostmark.

>>143758846
Empire has to play defensively with early units. Make a line with spears (shielded ones if possible) or halberds and puts crossbows/gunners/artillery behind it. Map corner tactics make every defensive battle trivial. The Reiksgards you start with are incredibly important to keep alive for the whole successionist revolt since they rape human swords/spearsmen in flank attacks.

>>143759470
>mfw nobody gives a shit about sieges anyway

>>143759406
>>143759471
Vamps aren't hard but Empire is so much easier than anyone else

So, who is the most useful Lord this far? Grimgor fucking slaughters everything, but is he better than Karl Franz on Deathclaw or Manfred on his thing? How do he fare again Archaon?

>>143759720

Enfiliating fire from a couple of cannon does a shit load more damage than even demigryphs can in the same amount of time.

With the added benefit of being able to snipe war machines or monsters at long range as well.

Just because you can't micro for shit and just Ctr+A and click on the enemy army doesn't mean anything that requires care to use is automatically worthless.

>>143760409
It's either gonna be the Dwarves or the Orcs dominating your entire flank. Make sure you get in good with the right side.

You're either trolling or so inept it isn't even funny.

For campaign:
AI gets more money, you get more public order penalties, more diplomatic penalties, more aggressive AI who will try to attack you when you are weak

In battles (you can turn this off in options, so play on hard but set the combat) difficulty to normal;
Increased moral for enemy armies and decreased for your armies

As an Orc, should I try and vassal other tribes, confederate other tribes, ally them or wipe em out?

What units are literally trash? Is there any you should avoid at all costs?

I have to say I'm a little dissapointed with the Dwarf artillery given how great it's supposed to be in lore.

I expected to wipe out entire units in one volley. 4 Organ guns and I can't even do that.

Not to mention that the Empire gets shit like the Volley over the Organ gun and Mortars and the Gyrocopters aren't that great...

>Have army in a settlement with garrison

Those flame cannons are the biggest disappointment. They do jackshit.

>>143760670
every marauder that doesn't hae a great weapon.

So is karl franz on a deathclaw the way to go if I want to do a full melee hero that is as powerful a unit as possible?

>>143760670
Luminark, slayers, pistollers, spearmen without shields, hammerers

>>143760665
Confederate them, you'll constantly get rebellions and you can fight the rebels to get free Waaghs! all the time. Conquer all dwarves and savage orcs then confederate all tribes. All your cities will be pissed, just go around with 5 lords with decent 20/20 armies and defeat all rebels all game, use Waagh! armies to defeat the rest of the world.

>>143760343
>Not having two armies move together everywhere

Best of both worlds

>>143760801

>hammerers

What?

>>143760826
>not having 3 armies solely made of big guys

So do shields do anything in melee, or do they only block arrows? To put it another way, is there any reason to take shielded troops against chaos, or do you just spam the two-handing weapons?

>>143760928

Shielded trait only gives bonus towards ranged units.

Against Chaos get every two-hander you can get.

When do Chaos first appear?

Is it based on the turn number or your progress through chapter quests?

>>143760773
My biggest disappointment so far was having Two Gyrobombers drops all 12 of their bombs center mass into one unit and it doing jack-Sigmar-fucking-shit.

For being a faction that's only purpose is so destroy shit with artillery and guns from afar while frontline units tank their artillery and guns are pretty dissapointing, even the Empire's is better. Plus they're more versatile.

Organ guns are nice but I think the best I did with them was focus 4 of them on a group of Chaos Trolls in order to get the Chaos Trolls to half-health and broken.

...after about 3 volleys of course.

And as far as flying units go, I'm honestly more excited for Bretonnia's Flying Pegasus Knights.

So yeah, as much as I love Dwarves, extremely dissapointed with them right now.

>>143760928
If you're empire greatswords have good armour which is actually better than shields

>>143761012
Yeah, im thinking I might mod them to make them better or something. Empire shouldnt have the better arty.

>>143761012
>For being a faction that's only purpose is so destroy shit with artillery and guns from afar

Those arent dwarves., thats the empire.
Your artillery supports you, but its not your workhorse, the really strong and diverse infantry are what makes dwarves strong.

>>143760928
They increase melee defence by a bit, but that is already factored into the stats of the unit. For example compare empire spears to empire spears with shields.

>>143761012
I came to dwarves for tanky ironbreakers and troll-murdering slayers, so I'm alright with them.

>>143761290
They are good vs monsters/large/killing heroes

A single one can take off about half a giants health before it reaches it from my testing

>>143761112
Thing is, the Empire has better arti in the lore, too. Dwarf artillery is just much more reliable.

>>143761129

Then the Changer and his doomstack spawned and started moving towards my army.

>>143761112
I have to say the worst I'm dissapointed with is the Thunderers and Gyros.

Gyros just seem completely useless.

And while I can understand Handgunngers being a ranged counter to armour for the Empire, Dwarf Thunderers are just the exact same niche. The only thing they have going for them over that is they're a "decent" melee combatant. I expected total ranged destruction, instead I got wimps with shitty guns.

>>143761290
It's like a unit or 2 of handgunners but slower and moore expensive

Holy fuck, playing as Chaos on Very Hard is exhausting. You have to excel at every battle, as the AI will literally never engage you with anything but 3+ stacks at once.

Trying to get a second horde up and running is a nightmare, as the Lord will face endless doomstacks before getting the chance to get Lightning Strike, and you don't have any rebellions to farm for easy XP.

Fucking hell, the northern dwarves have fucking six full armies of Longbeards and Thunderers on the one settlement they still possess. I can only imagine what bullshit the Empire pulls out of their fat asses if I ever manage to break through Kislev.

Pretty much one stack with the best and the rest with starter units. You have to rely a lot on garrisons.

I've not read much into warhammer but I'm definitely a fan of fantasy and I've played every single Total War game with the exception of Medieval 1.

I've heard the AI isn't borderline retarded anymore. Could it be true?

>>143761529
Bretonnia was even argued on /tg/ for squatting, constantly being called the most uncreative race.

>>143762183
AI is good in this, however siege ai is still kind of broken, you can easily defend outnumbered 1:10.

>>143762213
Oh come now dear, nothing in warhammer is remotely creative, /tg/'s just more familiar with monty python than some of the sources for other races

>>143762124
But...it doesn't really. Normal cannons do about as good versus ordinary infantry and much better versus large and monsters. Not to mention the range.

>>143762213
Occams razor, CA wanted to do the least amount of work for most amount of profit

Bretonnia is really easy to port normal TW units over, hardly any work needs to be done.

In addition, you can see CAs cashgrab behavior in the Chaos faction, which literally copies units from other factions

(Chaos Giant = copies)
(Choas spawn = Crypt horrors)
(cHAOS Trolls = copies of trolls)
(Hounds = copies)
(Marauders = generic h.a cav)
(chaos demon cannons = mortar copies with reskinned animation)

Stop falling for the CA jew, support BoTeT

Pffffffffffffff, no they absolutely dont.

>>143762254
That's mostly because towers are OP as fuck atm

>>143762128

Yeah, always build garrisons. They will not stop any fullstack armies, but they will help give you time to prepare a defense.

>>143762183

AI is genuinely good.
>inb4
Yes, it's still a AI and it will make wonky decisions, but I have had nothing but good fights from it.

Except in sieges. It's still kind of weird there but overall it's been a blast.

>>143761968

I forgot to mention that the one aspect I have found them useful is air-defence. They'll blast most flying thing out of the air real fast.

>>143762324
Chaos (the actual concept of it, not the "Vikings literally bring about the end of the world" hordes rendition) is pretty neat.

Warhammer is still my favorite fantasy world there is, and that's a world that literally named their version of Japan "Nippon."

>>143762504
Yeah, if you don't build like 20 siege towers, the wall towers gonna destroy you before you even reach walls.

>>143759623
You certainly can. Not with cannons like that though.

>>143762370
This is why I can see Nippon happening eventually, they just need to bring shit from Shogun 2

>>143762370

Nothing wrong with units sharing animation sets, anon. Why do you think they had dozens of factions in the previous games but only 6 in WH? Because they need to create unique animations for orcs, humans, chaos, dorfs, and every monster and flying unit.

Shit takes time.

>>143762684
Tell me about this bug

>>143762370
To be fair, some of them are meant to be copies. Thats how they were designed in the tabletop.

"Ok, how about trolls. BUT CHAOS!"

What the hell did you expect? Why would they make an entire new set of animations for a different hound unit? Its a hound, it doesnt need to differ.

>>143762156

>Turtle in Reikland for 60 turns until chaos starts fucking shit up and I manage to snipe Marienburg and Nuln while no one's looking.

And then Archaon actually got his shit together and started marching south and suddenly everyone wants to ride my dick.

>>143762370
>CHAOS COPIED SHIT

Well ok, yeah. I can't say they didn't but you do realize Chaos is literally a faction made of up every faction that's been corrupted? I mean unless you whip out straight up greater demon shit everything is a copy of something. Everything Nurgle is going to be a repaint of everything zombie, etc etc.

Fuck off with your shit.

How come Chaos AI never use dragon ogres?

>>143762743

You cannot import models so far.

>>143760928
Shield do nothing in melee, they just provide a 30% chance to block missile fire, which is significant.

Units with them usually have a slightly higher melee defence rating as well, possible because they're just higher-tier tho.

All in all, unless you're planning to stand in one place and wait for the enemy to run out of ammunition, it's not worth it.

But I didn't give up.

Has anybody managed to get diplomatic relations with Kislev going?
At this point I'm convinced theres some sort of flag that prevents you from ever getting on their good side so an Empire or Dwarf player can't ally with them and put a stop to the Chaos Invasion right away.

Kislev is down to 2 settlements, pretty much no army and they will not let me help them. Doesn't fit with the lore either.

>>143762941
If it takes you 20 turns to get rid of the secessionists I think total war is the wrong franchise for you anyways my friend.

>>143762743
I've seen people make fan rulebooks for Nippon, Cathay, Araby, and even fucking Estalia.

>shitty ai turn speed

It's fast as fuck in WH because of 64bit.

I mean, we're talking insanely fast. Throw in a SSD and battles load in a few seconds.

>>143762919
But it's not that significant in terms of Empire.

70 armor > 30% missile block when it comes to Swordsmen and Greatswords.

In terms of Chaos it just makes normal Chosen better against missiles than Chosen H or GW.

The only other factions that have a real difference between shielded or not is basically just like the empire. The bigger units without shielded have like 50 armor more, meaning they're still more durable than shielded units anyways.

It was my 3rd attempt at an Empire playthrough only to just have everything up and go to shit randomly because of wonky diplomacy. First time around I had Bastogne and another frog faction declare war on me fucking 3 turns into the campaign. Second time the dwarfs around Reikland and Marienburg made an alliance and then declared war on me while I was sieging the last secessionist stronghold.

Shits just fucked for me m8.

That shit is so easy its become scripted for me, even on legendary

>turn 2 attack him near city, kill him, attack town, take down, sit in town recruit 3 swords
>turn 3 head west, recruit 3 swords
>turn 4, take next city, recruit 3 swords
>turn 5 head south
>turn 6 take final city

Thats it. Secs will die off naturally at this point. Turn 1 declare war on Chaos, turn 2 get as many non aggression packs as you can because its the only chance you'll get before the Great Power debuff kicks in. Moment you get an agent send him to the Chaos wastes and get him attacking armies, it will give you a massive diplomatic buff again.

Should avoid any wars with anyone nearby if you throw enough money and attack Chaos enough. Sometimes its worth just sending a 1 stack over to Chaos land and raiding it for even more diplomatic buffs. The more you get the less anyone around you will attack you.

They took a more direct route for influencing shit like that though. IE: Nuln Gunnery School that lets you shit out artillery at like rank 7 or whatever, and that one province gets that knight chapter house and stuff.

>>143763210

The randomness is what makes each campaign superfun though. One time I had Nordland siege Marienburg. They lost the siege and immediately after I declared war on Marienburg and basically took the city with no losses. Free mad dosh afterwards. It was glorious.

DISMOUNTED AFRICAN HIPPO RIDERS!

Should have gone with Vlad instead. Manny is just a backstabbing whore whereas Vlad had style and was a genuinely good ruler.

But yes, Mannfred is a bit too cliché.

>>143765269


Looted european hangunners (club infantry)

Fuck the IA and their bazillion roaming faggots that always manage to be 1 inch away from your armies' range.
They really should have made engaging possible while marching.

>>143765209
It's easier to get free battle mages though. I got three free ones by turn 50 during one campaign.

>>143765209

Best mages has to be either VC or orcs.

Those hexes goblin shamans have are no joke.

Guys this game can't mask the crippling sadness and depression I feel.

How do fellow VC's deal with public order in human lands, mass balefires or squash rebel stacks forever?

they should've made marching cause attrition on hostile territory

Yes, both are very good. I'm specifically talking about Empire agent choices though.

i just slap a balefire in each province, it's not like there's that much else to build as counts

It was so infuriating

>>143765257
All I know is I'm almost tempted to go back and give it another try, since it's probably possible but chances are that I'll just lose it again and get even more mad.

>>143765138
I wish they'd gone with Vlad. Would have fucked the timeline up a bit, but he was much more diplomatic than Mannfred 'I wanna be Nagash 2.0' Von Carstein.

>>143765473
Same thing happened with Darth and that Kong guy. The latter one MIGHT have been the only one who "deserved" it.

>>143765583
I know this exact feeling.
Your campaign is almost identical to mine, except the VCs are pathetically trapped and I've genocided the dwarves on the Bretonnian border.

>>143765629
>Vlad is more diplomatic
>Vlad gives +10 to diplomatic relations
Now THAT would be excellent. I'm having to pay the Dorfs mad shekels to stop them from backstabbing me.

>>143765473
Jesus Christ

>>143765138
I don't know much about Warhammer but yeah, Mannfred sounds kinda retarded in this game. I always thought the high ranking vampires were more refined.

>>143765664

Third Age was goddamn fantastic and had excellent production values. He was a genuinely good modder.

>>143765583
Wiping them out is just too tedious, you don't even get any new settlements from doing so either. You're just the poor fuck who has to do the job

>>143765792
Yeah, but didn't he develop a shitty attitude after a while, or was that just darth?

>>143765138
>>143765767
Eh, for a Total War game he behaves fairly faithfully.
Mannfred'll scheme and manipulate to a certain point, but if he decides those methods are too slow and shit then he isn't afraid of just cutting his foes down violently.

>>143759623
Mp campaign is the only way to truly play TW as sigmar intended.

>>143765473

DOES THIS MOD WORK WITH RADIOUS

>>143765964

I remember hearing bad things about Darth, but I think that was because of frustration with the modding scene in general and for the Total War games.

I never heard anything about Kong.

>>143766091
Sigmar is a terrible being.

Does wounding actually weaken the ai/slow their development speed?

I can get a guaranteed kill on the dwarf leader as greenskins but it won't actually help my goals unless it sets the dwarfs back

>>143766245
Means you'll have a window when their army has a weaker lord but that's it.

Wut, this is really early on in a save.

How the fuck are they able to be friendly with gobbos already

>>143765583
aaaaaand they are still number one in strength even after I destroyed those two stacks as well

>>143765701
VC will become a real problem, I didnt finish them off because I decided to go after the Norskans and that was a huge mistake, burning those hovels down didnt do any real damage and all that free time allowed the VC to eat up all of the Kislev ruins

>>143765879
yeah, I actually sent armies there with mixed success >>143762684

>>143766630
Too bad kholek sucks a big one against other lords.

If someone makes a mod where they remove the AI's ability to use March stance, I'm going to install it.

>>143766692
>Barak Varr

eh what

>>143766393
Greenskin garrisons aren't well equipped at all to deal with them. Dwarfs getting miners is super helpful for wounding enemy lords, greenskins don't have anything like that. Maybe they should get some arrer boyz instead of goblin archers.

>>143766825
I like how in early game the ai will abuse march to rush into battles they can't win

>>143766825
>using cheat mods

casul

>was afraid to play multiplayer
>finally break and play some quick battles
>win all 6 of them
>can't wait to play more once I have free time
damn this is fun as fuck
also, looks like the AI is usually much better at managing troops than average player

>>143766825
Go grab some agents that can block armies, nevermind if the success chance is low as fuck, just hit them with it constantly.

I will never stop being greatly amused by the Skeleton Warriors (DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA) walk animations.

Can I move my unwanted units into a garrison? Goblin archers are basically worthless to me now but the unit has never died

>>143767054

I already do that and I'm still mad.

>>143767065
nope

Kholek Suneater not so tough after being spooked

>>143767101
Well, it's not as though I don't know your pain. I spent 30 turns as Greenskins chasing the Lord of Change around vampire corrupted land without realizing I had a Big Boss nearby to block the fucker.

>>143767065

Disband them.

Or get that mod which makes veterancy actually matter.

>>143767101

It gets annoying real fast, especially since chaos hordes and snowniggers ignore your armies and go straight for the settlements. They also always raze instead of sack, which means you're fucked either way.

How the hell do you trigger quest battles? Other than the first one I haven't been able to get any other on any faction.

>>143767176
Holy fuck he's huge.

I wasn't sure if I was just being retarded or not

>>143767237
You only unlock them once your LL reaches the appropriate level.

I hope all these mods I'm adding to my game via Workshop still allow me to play multiplayer.

So is it even worth levelling magic on a LL?

>>143767387
Are there any decent ones out?

>>143767273
Yes, battles against human opponents seem much less chaotic and slow paced compared to AI that micros every single cavalry unit on both flanks like a fucking Subutai.
