Sickly, sinful, spectacles stand, shuffle, shamble and saunter shamelessly in mine scandalized sight! I suggest a solution...Surely such sedition should sour and succumb to Sigvald - the salacious, scandalous and sensational servant of Slaanesh! Son of Succubi, scion of sordid acts and slayer of squalid serfs!

See how I stroll, stride, swagger and swirl, spin, and slash and stab at stupid, senseless scum! Soon they shall swoon, shall seek solace and death from sundry and torments wrought on them by my strategic, severing, scintillating shower of shimmering strikes!

Send for the sword - summon Sliverslash!

Daily reminder that Vampire counts treat their people better than any other "human" nation.

>all these marauder horsemen

I wasn't expecting to feel horsefucker rage in this game

>>143916869
They're autism prevents them from playing the campaign for more than 20 turns. All they understand is how to use and counter cookie-cutter death stacks.

>>143916802
What I did/do is immediately deconstruct my marauder camp thing, build a chaos warrior building instead, fire my marauders, recruit a shit ton of chaos warriors, then rape/raze/sack everything as you build up and level the horde increasing talent. .

>>143916853
Its one of the ways the VC deal with attrition and their large number of expendable units.

>>143916853

Not that it matters much tho, you're not going to move from Sylvannia for ages

MOD TO GIVE LEGENDARY LORDS GENERIC GEAR FOR THEIR MODEL UNTIL THEY DO THEIR QUESTS WHEN

AND THEN A MOD THAT GIVES GRIMGOR HIS PROPER FUCKING ARMOR WHEN YOU DO THE QUEST

after a couple of days of playing here are my thoughts

pos
+ atmosphere and unit flavor is good


cons
- battles are way too fast
- mid/late game management is annoying in larger empires and devolves into entire turns of nothing but moving armies back and forth
- agent spam is retarded and I'm pretty sure the AI is straight up cheating with them
-AI army composition is usually retarded, your allies basically barely aid you
-benny hill army chasing

I've never had to chase an army across the entire campaign map and not be able to catch them until I hit the border.

>>143917703
Well that's great for you. Doesn't mean it didn't happen in older titles aswell.

so any time I do a custom siege the enemy has like 8 siege towers and I can't even down a single one.

how the fuck are you meant to destroy siege towers?

can't even down a single one as dwarves

>>143917703
>I like this game so there can be nothing wrong with it.

whom r u quoting

>>143917792

get some grudge throwers

>>143917257
they have amazing unit acquisition but you're going to get raped by the Empire. A 5 stack of Demigryphs for example would destroy your entire infantry and not even break a sweat. Your goal is to outlast them by re-raising units and building up cheap armies while swarming them. A lot of people think Vampire Counts are terrible but the reason why they think that is because they lose in straight 1 vs 1 engagements in a lot of cases.
What you need to do is just spam lords with cheap units and fight everything 2 vs 1 or 3 vs 1 and spread corruption as much as possible so a single empire army has to fight on 3 fronts.

>>143917703
>he didnt play any total war with forced march before warhammer

Worst mechanic ever introduced

>>143917792
Build a lot of siege towers and D-Day that shit. You might lose one or two towers but the rest will make it, plus the siege towers only shoot if there are enemy troops within the capture zone for it.

Not because I don't think they're fun or whatever but I have absolutely no motivation to see Mannfred win. The more I played as him the more I hated him. Then I read up on his WH fluff to see if there was anything redeemable there and I only hate him more.

Vlad when?

Shaggoths or Chaos Giants? The giant has lower upkeep and recruitment cost by a little bit.

Rolling for my next campaign after I finish this Greenskin one.

So what are the rules on character assassination chances? Some chaos sorcerers spawned in my province so I'm trying to get rid of them, and I noticed for example my celestial wizard had a 40% chance against their death warlock, while my light wizard of the same stats couldn't even attempt.

>>143917316
Someone should beg CA for that, that'd be something pretty acceptable and I could forsee happening. I'd like to see a return to the MedII armor system for lords, give them a recruit-tier and veteran-tier skin. If this game is all about heroic leaders, why not?

>>143917543
Its in the campaign options.

>>143919208
If you succeeded in an assassination with the light wizard then he has -50% chance for 2 turns.

Anyone figured out how to fiddle with the awakened clans and deal with Norskin in general as Chaos? Share your methods.

>>143919385
Raze them all.

>>143919217
Isn't it incredibly bizare though? Did nobody at CA mention this during a daily briefing?

"Hey, we have quests that are supposed to give Kholek his weapon, but he's using it from the get-go. Shouldn't we give them models before and after they recieve their gear?"

I mean, it's such huge, but minor detail. How did that get past QA?

>>143919385

>>143919473

I figure they ran out of time, they did delay the game

Still it's no excuse, there are various little details I would have liked to see, like reload animations for cannons and arquebus

what exactly does the thaumaturge trait do? the description isn't all that informative

>>143919343
What's the logic behind that?

I know it says you get Sigvald for awakening 4 tribes. That means I literally just have to click "awaken" 4 times whilst attacking villages, right?

>>143919587
Yeah if they succeed an assassination they get the debuff to ALL agent actions for 2 turns (i think its 2 turns anyway).

Also if your first agent fails then the target gets +20% defense that turn.

>>143919473
Probably cut for time, the games are huge productions. It takes at least a year after every release before they start getting into stuff that really feels like shit they didn't think about adding in the vanilla.

>>143919639
I imagine AI agents would be even worse if that didn't apply.

>>143919639
Its with any agent I guess to ass-fuck the player some more.

>>143916616

>>143919587
That's how it is with all characters. After a successful assassination they get -50% success for 2 turns. Exhaustion.

Also if you fail an assassination, the target gets "On Guard" which lowers enemy hero success by -50% for a turn.

Wow, it's almost like they expect you to have twice as many units as the enemy. If only there was some way for the Orcs to instantly double their forces...

They can arc over walls and hit the towers

I assume you selected the level of towers in the settings before you start the map, it goes from 1 (arrows) to 4 (magic cannonballs etc.)

Hell, make an MMO that isn't cartoony WoW shit and is more like eve in terms of everything is player driven with a mix of star wars galaxies pre-nge. And no fucking cartoony shit and massive damage numbers. Make the combat more like say chivalry or mount and blade or dark messiah.

Hello /twg/

I don't own the game but my friend complains to me that he is losing on (literally) the 2nd turn of the orc campaign

Is there some glaring mechanic he's overlooking?

>>143923572
can someone explain the point of grenadiers to me? When I watch them attack infantry they never fucking hit shit.

question about modmaking, do you have to upload it to the shitshop to test it? or is there any problem with PFM?

is there any debug tool for cheking the reason it crashes on startup?

Just got Warhammer, any mods recommended for a first playthrough?

>>143923773
the mechanic is called unterstanding unit composition and formations.

You need to know when your units are allowed to break formation and when it's better to wait out the enemy charge.

>>143923773

He's probably just being a massive faggot, he can't lose on the second turn because the AI needs more turns to siege his main settlement

>>143923773
It's impossible to (literally) lose on the 2nd turn of any campaign. Tell your friend to stop lying.

>>143924019
Radious ;)

>>143924019
Why not do a unmodded first play through and then mod it?

>>143923143
nice mod.

>>143924019
>playthrough

more like test-through. Try to get familiar with the game first and then install mods. Some people dislike faction agent spam and disable it with mods. You have to decide for yourself if you agree with that.

So are VC meant to just sit there the whole game turtling with two provinces? Cant take dwarf shit so best to just leave them be, go attack any human settlement and everyone starts bearing down on your ass and theres nothing you can do about it due to slow as fuck vampiric corruption.

On a somewhat related note, how hard would it be to mod in a unit with the body of a chaos exalted hero, and the head of a wight king, name it Krell, and only have it available as a hero unit that Kemmlar starts with?

I just finished my legendary Empire campaign and it was very fun, lots of diplomacy at the beginning, lots of big wars at the end.

The army was varied and had an answer to everything, especially sieges.

Now playing as the VC and orcs I feel so underpowered. As orcs I can't even take the first dwarfen armies and as VC the lack of ranged and artillery feels so fucking bad.

>>143925846

Early battles have lords duel a lot because usually your lord is the only thing that can reliably damage the enemy lord without losing a shitton of soldiers in the process, so say you get Azhag instead of Grimgor, Someone is gonna a have to fight Thorgrim when he comes around turn 7 with his shitstack of stunties, and Azhag gets demolished.

>>143926146
Azhag's also really hard to level because of how slow he is

>>143920814
Fuck, RA 2 and YR had some of the best cutscenes

Though maybe it had to do with me growing up

Do VC have Artillery or ranged?

>>143920814

>>143926951

>>143926510
They're a 100% melee army, but to make up for that shortcoming they have the best monsters in the game, the best flying units in the game, the best flying monsters in the game, and the best expendable meatshields in the game.

>>143919958

And so that an agent with a bunch of assasination buffs cant gain 18 levels in 18 turns by spamming assassination..

>>143927042
does the AI cheat with resources on higher difficulties? That shit was always off-putting to me in Civ games because it's not the AI playing better, they just generate technology and culture out of nowhere.

>>143925448
I just wish I could have units without lords so I could buff my garrisons

The capability exists I think, since when you kill an armies general, they dont have a lord for a turn

The vampire campaign is so spooky. Just everything about it is amazing, I just wish it had 40 unit stacks so I don't have to drag multiple armies around. It really feels like someone or some people on the dev team really like the vampire counts. They feel really well done as far as effort goes compared to chaos especially. Same thing with the empire. They feel really polished as well. I mean there's the lack of balance but that can always be fixed with both mods and patches. I found chaos, dwarfs, and orcs to feel sort of hollow. Like I don't feel like I'm commanding a massive tide of orcs and that really hurts the dwarf campaign as well, and chaos lacks the choices you would expect to make like choosing the favour of a particular god.

I also wish that it had quests and shit like in king arthur. Those texts adventures were a lot of fun. Right now the whole quests seem half-assed and rushed. Like I expected migration to be a quest chain but nope, just like all the others its just a random buff/debuff and that's it.

anyone who played on higher difficulties, was it manageable? Did you auto-resolve a lot or just fight manually? Does the AI just straight up cheat on higher difficulties or do they only get smarter?

Vamps have no range/artillery

However you get really good flying units to make up for that, they work like super cavalry and you can use them to totally split a flank off of the enemy army by hitting and running

Has anybody ever heard of the Mandel effect?

Remember when comedian Howie Mandel died in the late 80's? So do most people.

Despite this, many are surprised to find that he is alive and well today, and hosts the hit TV show "Deal or No Deal"

The leading theory is that some people have shifted realities to one where Mandel never died, or else that some powerful entity is capable of manipulating our collective memories.

>>143919385
Awaken as many as you can, then decide if you want to unite them for a place to fall back to or just leave em to distract the Empire. If you leave the russians alone the norscans will mostly fight them and tie up their armies, or you can raze the russians which leads to norscan infighting. If you go that route just back the biggest one and raze the rest, it'll quickly spread through the north and start south which is a big help with the Empire but takes a long ass time to set up.

The Vampire Counts are fucking rad, I agree. Definitely my favourite faction, atleast for the campaign thanks to things like the vampiric corruption mechanic and the way they're encouraged to reinforce what they have and only expand in a deliberate manner. For battles I feel like they suffer due to the lack of missile units that are otherwise key in getting turtling AI to move against you.

As for Mannfred? His Soul Leech is insane, though I've yet to figure out how I want to build him. Reckon a decent split between Lore of Death and melee (not just for damage, but survivability awell).

Get rid of a quarrel for a cannon, otherwise you're good

Man the dorf campaign is easy. Their army is pretty boring though. Are their late game units cool at least? I see cannons and flamethrowers and helicopters.

How the fuck am I supposed to start as Vampire Counts? The initial scenario feels unfairly stacked against me. I win the beginning battle no problem, then Templehof usually moves its army from Templehof to Essen (whatever the next settlement you're supposed to capture is). If I don't suffer large casualties in that battle (I didn't on this runthrough), then I either turtle there to build up a big force while shitdick Count Templecock does the same thing which makes him unsiegeable, or I go and take the last settlement in my starting province. If I do the latter, he either sends an army to take it back which is usually supported by another, or, as he did in this run through, he sends a single fucking lord against my garrison of shit zombies and I can't defend against him.

I bit the bullet and he just sacked, but as soon as I rush my army to Templehof (I've been beelining for each settlement to give him the least amount of time to muster an army), you know what he does? Builds a fucking garrison building so now he has grave guard and other shit in a siege and my 20 stack has about a 10th of the balance of power.

I was there, oh Sigmar how could I forget. It started off with that damned noble arriving. Some fool from Altdorf arrived, visions of Sigmar or some such nonsense about being chosen to defeat the Carsteins and end their reign of terror. Brought some knights from reikland and some gunners from nuln. He gathered almost the entire garrison and we set off from Bechafen. Managed to convince some crossbowmen to Essen to join our little party. The further we traveled the stranger things got. At first the ground just got a bit muddy but then things got quiet, real quiet. At some points there weren't even any damn bugs. But every night when we'd try and sleep there'd be all manner of strange noises, I swear I heard a cow once, wasn't like any cow back on the farm though, it was deep like a dwarf's voice and sounded all hollow like. On we went and the trees themselves started to twist and the ground itself seemed to be almost dead. I swear those trees were watching us though. And those damned bats would never shut up.

As we were walking one of those nuln boys started talking about some "watch" he had "acquired." Started talking about how its all wrong and that it should be daylight out, not night. We set down for camp anyways. Woke up to a bunch of shouting and ran outside the tent to see and found that something had been eating that pompous lord's horse. Whatever it was it ran off before we could get a good look at it. There was no way we'd go chasing after whatever did it though. Serves that ass right for dragging us into that mess. We started marching along a rode that opened into some vast swamp. At least we were out of the woods but then things got real bad real fast. As we were clearing the forest we saw this giant tower and it was glowing. This strange awful green light and I swear there were screaming faces in that light. We then heard what sounded like marching, perfect marching.

When do we get him /twg/?
We are getting Vlad, right?
CA wouldn't just leave us with Mannfred, not when Vlad is such a more interesting and appreciable character, right?

I find basically always having your armies in the underway helps. Sometimes if you move close to an army, even when it's much weaker, the AI will intercept. I think it also makes it more likely for you to intercept enemies using the underway, but I'm not sure.

Chosen are winning me every engagement in my Chaos campaign, IDK what the balance guy from last thread was bitching about.

>>143932357
There's a mod that gives you another 10% bonus movement in your own territory.

I think it applies to everyone though.

>>143931389
Mostly useless aside from their infantry.

So yes. Boring.

I think the best way to balance the Underway is to remove the extra travel distance you get with it.

As it is now it's literally a free Force March.

More of that green light started coming out of the damned swamp and then we saw them. The dead had come for us. I hope I'll never see anything like it again. It was a damned army. They all were walking perfectly together, naturally perfect, not that there's anything natural about a walking skeleton with glowing eyes and a sword. There was a big hill beside us along with a large boulder and so he had us form up between em so we didn't get attacked in the side. But there weren't just skeletons there. Bodies started rising out of the damn ground and started shambling to join them and then the trees came alive. These bats were as big as a damn man. they started swarming and circling against the undead. I saw rotting horrors that looked like giant men, bones sticking out of their flesh, there were ghouls among them too snarling, skeletons in strange red armor And this gigantic red walking bat thing. It was huge, bigger than a damn ogre with a face of a bat. Then these huge flying monsters came crashing through the trees and joined them, almost as big as that red thing. Big red hair stood up on their back and chest. Sigmar preserve us that fool what has he done and then we saw him.

Manfred himself was there, lot a people thought he was just some made up fairy tale, but that man right there was the stuff of nightmares. I could feel his eyes burrowing into my very soul. We were still well away from them but it sounded like he was right beside me when he spoke. He was speaking to his troops like they were a living breathing army. Most of those things didn't seem to care what he had to say but those red ones, damn those red skeletons actually cheered. The other one's just had dumb glowing eyes, like one of em retards. But those one's, those one's eyes were glaring at us full of malice and hate and evil. See, a skeletons not so bad, kinda like a sword. It just does what its told like a sword. But seeing one's that seemed so alive. That's wrong and terrifying.

Does anyone else shelf their LL and play with generic lorda?

I often do. I just find it kind of disappointing that there isn't a lot of portrait variety, it's always the same 3 guys. Would be cool if you could upload a picture from a folder or customize them a little bit with varying helmets etc. just to make each army look more unique.

You can win engagements with skellies in the campaign with the shitload of bonuses from tech and lord traits it doesn't mean anything, I had zombies with 13 attack and defense and 30 armor.

He's talking about mp where chaos sucks dick

That's not how you Spell Warriors of Chaos Players. I feel like I'm the only fucking one that outgrew their IRL edgy phase and just likes the army aesthetics.

I normally put income buildings everywhere. Would it be more profitable to replace the income building with garrisons then get rid of the spare army or two?

Maybe you're at war with someone who encouraged Bretonnia to declare war on your hapless shit for brains Emprah

Chaos and greenskins seem to have a lot of variety in terms of lords

>>143929770
I dont remember either of them dying in the 80s

Having a hero block movement on an army then running in to smash em up is a great feeling, what world.

I know VC are supposed to be able to raise units after a battle, but if I kill their lord, he should stay fucking dead.

>>143932950
When he yelled "Kill the mortals" it was already over. They started advancing towards us at a slow jog. The dumb ones in perfect sync and the others like a regular man. The other beasts with em were howling and growling at us. Obviously eager to be there with us but damned if they didn't look afraid of Mannfred. And if he can rule those monsters with fear... Every part of my body and soul screamed at me to run. Just run and don't look back and keep running and don't ever stop. Especially when that big thing seemed to grow tired of waiting. I swear that vampire was smiling when it suddenly charge through their ranks. It plowed ghoul and zombie and skeleton aside like they were no more than twigs, just racing towards us roaring and howling with insane fury. The ground was shaking and the spears formed in front of us bracing for what good that would do. I think they knew it too, but at least there might be a chance. Then there was a scream behind us and this giant wolf thing, its fur falling off and bones sticking out through rotting flesh grabbed one of those gunners and tore his head clean off. Out of the swampy water behind what must of been a hundred of the things came barking and snarling out of the water. They tore through them. The knights came charging over to help them but those fools left a nice big hole in the line. And through that another massive pack of the beasts charged through, we tried to stop them and then yelled at the crossbows to turn around but weren't fast enough. Oh god the screams. You could punch and kick and hack at those beasts and they didn't even flinch. One of them killed one of the lads from the tower guard and looked and me and went charging towards me. Instinct took over and I braced my shield and dropped low just like we were trained against gobbos. They liked to jump and try and hit your head, bloody well worked. Thing sailed right over and I drove my sword into its head.

taking money from defeated armies
sacking

then you have money to spam buildings

Are there 2 separate difficulties in the game?

>>143934215
Do you mean like more than one level of difficulty? If so, yes.

If you mean separate ala previous Total Wars (battle and campaign), then no.

>mod is incompatible with another even though by all rights they should work fine

>>143934215
campaign AI difficulty and battle difficulty yes, you can see Battle Difficulty somewhere in the options while loaded in (but can't change on Legendary).

>>143934215
You can still pick a different lower battle difficulty you just have to go to campaign options or something once in game.

do you guys think gook got warhammer?

>>143934321
eh, shit. I want the campaign AI to make smart moves but I hate it when the battle difficulty just buffs their units

>>143934430
>>143934469
so let's say I put it on very hard when I start the game, then go into options and put battle difficulty to normal. Does this mean that the AI won't be retarded but also doesn't cheat with troops?

Gook is gone forever anon-sama

>>143934627
My mistake, according to other posters there are separate ones.

>>143934627
It means it will still cheat out more stacks, but fighting those stacks in real time won't give their units bonuses.

What have I done.

Normal battle difficulty means the AI won't have any stat bonuses (I believe).

>>143933884
Before I could even breath that giant red thing came smashing through those spears. Tossed em aside with the force of its charge and bit some poor bastard in half. and then those bats descended on us with some of those bigger ones. They were so damn fast and they'd swoop down and bite us before flying back into the air, one of em knocked me right over which was lucky because one of those giant flying monsters swooped by where I had been standing and grabbed a knight right off his horse instead. Then it flew down and smashed him into a tree before whirling around and landing at a sprint rampaging towards me. This was it I was going to fucking die screaming and getting eaten but then that red thing charged through it barreling it right out of the way. Few of the rifles left standing filled its head with lead. But there were a dozen more ready to take its place. I heard the clash of swords and the skeletons were into us now. They attacked us almost mechanically until the red ones showed up. One of them looked at me and howled a challenge and came sprinting. It swung for my head and I blocked it with my shield but before I could get another hit in its foot crashed under the shield into my leg, I fell to my knees cursing as another sword blow tore the shield right out of my hands, out of desperation I tackled the thing and pinned it to the ground. Lost my sword so I just grabbed a rock and smashed its head in. When I looked up there was nothing but screaming and death. That knight that was all broken and bloody then got up and started attacking any living thing nearby, same with everything else. Even the wolves were rising again. Just the screams, oh god the screams. The monsters just started eating us. They didn't even care that there was still a battle going on. Saw that gunner with the watch shoot himself before zombies crawled all over him. Sigmar I've never been so scared, oh god I didn't want to die, I don't wanna die. I don't want to be one of those

>I hate it when the battle difficulty just buffs their units
So that's fucking why I've felt like such a shitter in battle. Jesus I thought harder AI difficulty in battle meant that their units would be a bit smarter in attacking my artillery and ranged or some shit.
