Is there any advantage to fucking about with the Norsicans as Chaos? I mean, it seems like the goal there is to replace the Skaeling and Varg with your cronies but isn't it better just to leave those stronger factions to fuck with Nordland while you go straight for Kislev then the Empire?

Chaos design is bad in this game, whoever was tasked with making units didnt understand the implications of being a horde

and no, I am not that autist bitching about chosen, my problem is that the cheaper units arent worth it, because their buildings require population, AND increase the pop cost of all other buildings, so you are better off just ignoring stuff like trolls and chariots and going for the chosen, knights with lances and dragon ogres
>>
So do most of you play long or medium campaigns? I've always played long in previous Total War titles but playing a game as orcs for long is fucking ridiculous. I destroyed all dwarves but now I need to go all over the map to claim the ruins that chaos shit on in the north and the Bretonnians shit on in the east, just seems kind of dull and a run around rather than the WAAAGH! I want to fight.

Also Black Orcs need bigger unit sizes, they actually seem to lose to a lot of things and Big Uns or Boys seem to do better.

>>143958405
It's the long game for Chaos. The campaign intro straight up tells you tzeentch fucked with time and its unclear if the end times have yet to begin or are in full swing. you can take archaon and go straight into kislev, or you can go questing on his journey through norsca to unite the tribes and gather his artifacts.

doing either works because sacking is so lucrative, but having a 4-6 vassal norsca pumping out their own doomstacks in your name can be pretty helpful, especially when they join you in battle or raze a settlement you just sacked.

>220 points Chariot with an Armour Save of 5+ on top of it's 5 Toughness and 5 Wounds, but this isn't a Black Coach that you want to run your enemy down with. It's purely a support unit. It's offensive abilities are abysmal (unless you charge it into a flank) despite it getting a lot of little bird peck attacks, but it has decent survivability. Here's where you factor in it's abilities. The Reliquary ability gives your undead a nice regeneration boost to make them live longer/tarpit better and can hit a good amount of enemy units at decently high strength, making it one of the few good ranged units available to you, and with the amount of wounds it has you don't even need to worry about taking a hit from doubles, and even if it does get a little hurt, you can just heal it up yourself.

how is this series popular again? the war is repetitive as fuck, empire management is babby tier and diplomacy is beyond broken.

Even for Vampires. They're basically devolved hulking monsters with more in common with ghouls than other vampires. Most of the bloodlines feel contempt for them at the very best. By human standards they're abominations

Is there a fluff reason for humans taking attrition on undead land and vice versa or is it just something CA made up?

strigoi.jpg
275KB, 600x816px
>>143959108
Both.

The strigoi got assfucked in the ye olde vampire war. With the loss of their empire/clan theyve reverted into bestial shapes(but not full blown varghulf) and run around the woods fucking shit up for everybody. The ghouls apparently feel a kindred spirit in them because they tend to flock to strigoi more so than other vampires.

Strigoi are particularly hated by other vampires for two reasons

One; Strigoi will feed on other vampires, and that scares the shit out of them as much as it disgusts them

Two; When the strigoi go to war they feed ghouls their blood, considering ghouls are both alive and degenerate cannibals its incredibly revolting to the other vampires. The result is crypt horrors.

Crypt horrors are pretty neat. Basically the ghouls body tries to emulate the vampires eternal life and strength and super powers their body giving them massive muscles that they tear all the time but they constantly regenerate. The side effect of the regeneration(or rather cause of it) is super cancer.

So crypt horrors are really big really mean walking tumors. Crypt horrors only live for a few years after their transformation before theyre totally consumed

Only the campaign (eating captives, lots of whacky things happening to the heroes, Gork and Mork, quest battle speeches and so on) but battles aren't fun (well, except for Grimgor soloing armies and Doomdiver catapults).

All in all you're right, they're really fun.

it's an abstraction of a bunch of evil shit happening in evil lands. random animal packs snatching watchmen and dragging them screaming from their posts. outriders patrolling a road and getting pulled apart by living roots and branches.
>>
>>143959651
What about for undead? As long as their leader is with them why would they take attrition?
>>
>>143959460
You know that town near Vizima in the first Witcher game? One that's basically filled to the brim with ghouls, drowners and spectral hounds because of shit going down. And you keep finding corpses of villagers everywhere because even having lived all their life there they still occasionally got caught.

That's what undead land is like. The attrition comes from soldiers wandering around alone or in small groups and then getting eaten by ghouls.
>>
>>143959726
I dunno, maybe some ghouls or direwolves dragging away some stray zombies? Honestly the only beings truly safe in Sylvania are the vampires themselves.

Are you shitting me? Living in Sylvania fucking sucks. They live in constant terror of being eaten alive by undead or having the blood sucked out of them by vampires. Sylvanian peasants just don't complain because if they did they'd be killed, and they're too poor to leave, not to mention if they tried they'd be hunted down and slaughtered.

Where should I go as Dwarves after I reconquer the Silver Road? Should I head south and try to take Death Pass from the Greenskins, or should I continue north and wipe out those Red Spear shits.

Also wondering when I should poop out a second army. There is a lot of ground to cover even with Underway.

Just got a follower whose tooltip mentions the Skaven, confirmed then? Ratmen when then?
>>
>>143960496
well maybe, but getting all clumped up against someone like the dwarfs, the marauders and warriors actually get pushed back by regular dwarf warriors, and thats considering they also have a range advantage as well as cool shit like iron drakes, blasting charges, and bombers.

the empires cavalry out-performs chaos knights with their demigryphs actually being just as expensive.

orcs aren't actually too bad to deal with

death sorcerors can actually fair alright taking out wraiths, and flying units, but great weapon graveguards seem to plow through chaos warriors pretty easily. chosen do alright, but they get massed-up-on because of how expensive they are.

Only confederate if you know you can defend their lands immediately. Most of the times, if they are willing to confederate, it means that they are in big shit.

In my previous campaign i confederated with Dwarf clan that held almost all of the south, but was separated from me by a couple of provinces. By merging with them, not only my economy went into shitter, but i realized that almost all of their settlements are under siege and there is nothing i can do to hold them. My book of grudges filled with so many grudges so i had to restart my campaign.

Volkmar would make sense if they're planning on releasing flagellants, since they'd be one of his bonus units what with being head of the Sigmarite Church.

Debating on whether to buy warhammer or not.

I think its pretty obvious it'll be Konrad, there's a quote that comes up which is something like 'sorry to disappoint you but I appear to be alive' and he'd be a melee expert. After that maybe Walach Harkon but CA should have Mousillon as an alternate start position. Bretonnia and Vamps just go well together.

>Is it Rome2 bad

It's not bad at all.

You can debate whether or not some of the decisions they made about the design were good or nor, but Rome II was actually fundamentally BROKEN at launch and Warhammer works more or less perfectly on the technical level.

The situation literally has NOTHING in common with Rome II.

>Also is Attila worth $11?

Yes, Attila is pretty good.
>>
>>143964676

Attila is definitely worth at 11 bucks

So far Warhammer is pretty damn good. A bit shallow in depth but in terms of releases this is one of CAs best as the only really bad bug has been Magic having no scaling on unit sizes and some big units like the luminark of hysh sucking ass.

compared to fucking Rome 2 and Empires release this is a miracle.

>>143964989

>>143964805
That would go even better with Vlad though.There are some pretty hefty hints in the novels that Mannfred caused Vlad's death in the first place, by manipulating the Empire to steal the ring that made Vlad return from the dead again and again.

The general consensus is that it's surprisingly good, and most everyone is happy with it.

There's some balance issues but that's to be expected, and it's nothing mods can't handle. Multiplayer is a bit of a mess right now but the campaign is great.

Don't pick vampire cunts on a high difficulty until you really know what you're doing.

Magic is mostly useless and poorly implemented, the special abilities do nothing but make Herohammer worse, fire arrows/encourage/warcries gave you something to handle in the middle of battle and was an extra layer of variety between similar units
>That's because fags disliked the 1 on 1 animations
1 on 1 animations had a single positive point, they look impressive, just the same thing that hero combat needs, let rank&file swipe air, but you can't promote Herohammer while making hero-to-hero combat shit to watch

No. The A.I will always be on the pricipice of engage, and you won't be able to attack them unless its a rebelliion/garrison or they move to attack. The A.I is too smart with campaign movement and abuses march to fuck.

I'm turn 80 on chaos legendary and I picked up LS because you need the horde growth, I think I've used it once, and that was to reduce reinforcements to an army which I had already beaten to make the clean-up easier.

Tried Chaos in both co-op and singleplayer and it feels extremely boring.

Upkeep is so high you're limited to one decent army or 2 shitty ones at most. Game is just a 10 second turn-time simulator waiting endlessly for my units to recover between city auto resolves because nothing is difficult on hard difficulty.

Is chaos supposed to be limited to so fewer armies and units? If I try to even field 2 decent armies I end up at -6k income per turn.

You're not aggressive enough or raising enough armies. A single army can raid enough money from settlements to maintain itself and part of another army.

I've continued to plunder towns constantly and as things are I have around 160k income. The problem is actually that there aren't enough cities to plunder that can fight off a deficit of 6k+

Problem is that it gets fucking boring when 3 armies can't fight off the upkeep when raiding and any city sieges to boost income kill your monstrous units on auto resolve.

So does Archaon just target whoever is #1 in Strength during the scripted invasions?

I played a VC campaign and he tore into the Empire fucking them up badly, but this time around I was playing a Greenskin campaign, doing really well, had united the badlands, and had multiple armies ... so he went straight into the mountains and started fucking up Kazak Kadrin and the Vampire Counts on his way to me.

Was it just random or did he do so purposefully? It basically forced me to confront and stomp him out early on which is a shame because I wanted to use him to soften up the Empire for my own invasion.

How do I into vampire cunts?

I only played as empire and chaos until now. One game was BTFOing archaons gaylord stacks with demigryphs/greatswords/tonks and the other run just chaos knights/chosen/big guys/hellcannons raping stacks twice my size with archaons sheer penis size.

What do I go for with the undead? They would have been my next target in my empire campaign but I trust the AI will just send turds my way in terms of stack quality.

Any special tactics or really good units/combos? Best wizard lore or lord spells to go for?

>>143973056
>What do I go for with the undead?
Zombies for holding units, skeletons are your average infantry, tomb guards are your elite

You get the best flying units in the game, so you better use them, but no ranged units, so get used to it

Do not lose your lord under no circumstance, your units will disintegrate (they are all unbreakable, but losing morale=lose health)

>What do I go for with the undead?
Go for the other vampire counts, and then for the empire, since you can't take dwarf strongholds, nobody likes Stirland so it's free for you to take, and spread your corruption!

>Any special tactics or really good units/combos? Best wizard lore or lord spells to go for?
Do not pick Kemmler, Spirit leech (basic shadow spell) kills heroes in 2-4 casts

Daemons sometimes have personal agendas that conflict with the agendas of the respective gods whom they serve and are fragments of. Even if a god designates some guy to be a champion, that god's daemons may still attempt to fuck him over or take advantage of him if they think they get away with it.

VC are the weakest faction right now, since aoe damage magic is beyond ass at high unit counts, and all their units are shades of bad.

Because of that how "fun" they are is largely a mystery, but don't let that stop you from buying the game, it's bretty good.

Just be aware that until CA/mods fix the faction, you're going to be playing "The misadventures of magic mannfred and the bat pup".

VC are fun because the aesthetic is great, the monsters are fun and it the campaign feels the most natural. Empire is shit because killing other human factions before you even get close to interesting enemies takes far too long and makes no sense lorewise. Greenskins spend too much time dealing with public order and the roster is shit and limited especially when dealing with dwarfs. The interesting units for dwarfs are shit and everybattle is the same. Chaos and VC are the best hands down.

Chaos is by and far "missile cavalry, the faction"

The campaigns are bit dissapointing but a decent way to pass the time.

I'm really hoping for roster balance though because the Dwarves are fucking uninteresting as fuck with all of their late-game stuff being garbage.

It'd be nice to see the other half of the roster that no one's touching also see some use. And the Empire to stop being OP as fuck.

You can still build the income building, its only one slot. If my settlement already has three I always go wall/dosh/sigmar or wall/dosh/region specific dosh. It only takes a tad longer if you don't have the growth building.

Also like the others said, razed villages give no income at all and you need to build up all that growth again.

The only things they were releasing at the end were all those massive monster and hero models.

If those were actually selling then surely they could have gone back to the hero hammer days rules wise. That would reduce the entry price for playing while existing players could still use their big armies, they just wouldn't have been as optimal.

I dunno though, they never say anything, so we don't have much idea what drives their thinking and decision making.
>>
>>143978074
They couldn't work on every faction of every game year round to maintain sales, so over the years they focused on what they knew would sell and let the rest fall by the wayside.

If one army sells when they get new releases, but another sells all the time and gets a boost with a new release, why bother with the former?

Killing WHFB is the same thing. They're a company without infinite resources, so they're picking their battles (Space Marines) and selling the husk of the Fantasy IP to degenerates (videogame companies) all around town.

Growth still is a good thing to have but you can deploy a sigmar priest to bump that up if you want to expand which gave me like 50(1 per region only though).

I never really checked if it takes that much longer without growth buildings, the safety you get from walls is just really good because you don't need to field many/any defensive armies.

Also I didn't mean the end of the chain cathedral, even the lower tiers which you can build in settlements gives decent corruption clear (IF you need it, if not just go growth).

>>143978315
4-5 warriors for holding the line, 4-5 crossbows for ranged superiority, 1-3 artillery to force the enemy to come at you, 2-4 armour piercing (thunderers/hammerers/miners) in reserve for knocking off tough targets. Fill the rest to personal taste.

How do you deal with Gobbos as Dwarfs?
And I don't mean armies, I mean the fucking agents.
Every Dwarf game I play ends with a book of grudges overflowing with "Kill this fagggot gobbo" because all my characters get assassinated.
And the only way to kill them is with your own agents.
Except the only way for dwarfs to hire them is from haaving a level 4 keep + whatever building, and then the agent you get is shit at killing other agents, unlike the other factions.
Shit is infuriating.
>>
>>143978374
Pretty much this, they would just release BIG MONSTERS, which were practically useless on the game (thanks cannons) and then complain that they were not selling well

on the other hand, most End Times books sold well IIRC, the playerbase was always there

Personally, I feel a small skirmish mode of 500 points with some limitations on magic for the sake of balance was all that was needed (and it was a real thing in older editions)

Alright guys I said I'd wait a few days to get reviewers and mostly your guys's opinion on the game.
I've heard the campaign gameplay and sieges are simplified which is sad if you're a tw veteran but other than that I've heard no huge complaints.

So as a huge fan of the series (and an understander of strategy) do you recommend I buy TW-WH and play all week or should I hold off until a sale?

well seeing as the chaos gods thrive off sentience, the only way to stop them is to wipe out all life and destroy the source. GW actually had a competing plot concept before deciding on End Times that the good side could be racing to find a way to finally close the chaos gates but the undead fuck them up because without magic they just die.

I don't care if you get it or not, but the sieges being simplified doesn't make much difference really, sieges involving the AI are still shit is all you need to know.

I'd get it now.

It's really good, I wouldn't really say sieges are "simplified." I find the most enjoyable out of any TW, and that they actually generally encourage you to fight instead of just auto resolving.

Considering how well the game is selling I can't see a major sale anytime soon.

I'm planning this and I think it could easily work, but you need a single orc.

with how strong killy lords are in this game, if the enemy has one and you don't it can easily lose you the match.

you have to prioritise night goblins and spider riders though as it's the only way to damage armoured units.

Deploy heroes that reduce public order, and have an army raid the province. Eventually they'll get a rebellion, and you can take the province off the rebels without going to war with your "friends".

Why? Why cant I have that when I play Empire. I just want the coming storm to wash over the Empire in fire and blood and barely be beaten back. I want that, or to just fuck off and go fight Orcs in the badlands. But as Empire all I do is fight other Empire factions or the Brets.

Tilia's similar. Myrmidia temples, bright wizards only, and instead of giving income their cities provide bonus income to other buildings in the province/adjacent provinces. Given empire cities don't give much money, and most of the settlements down there have ports, that one could be huge.

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.

It changes the approach alot I feel.

I wouldn't build defensive structures for garrison for VH for example, since I could always just reload before. Then there's agent actions,

Trekking across the map to do a quest battle is also a lot less appealling.

I suppose I enjoy the "Great Big Adventure" which comes with legendary.

Hugely accurate and powerful cannon means it can support from range. Steam weapon is OP as shit against weak enemies meaning it can fight large mobs. Tank stab (?) is great against armor so it can fight armored enemies.

Plus it fights to the death, and isnt that much more expensive than other top tier empire units.

he will fly in a lateral direction faster than the free faller, but the free faller will fall faster, always

more surface area means more friction
this is an undisputed law of physics

in terms of the doom divers, they aren't falling from a plane, they are launching out of a cannon which means their initial lateral velocity is their maximum lateral velocity. They only way they can pick up speed is by free falling, which a wing suit hinders.

Which would be fine, but you dont get it until level 8, and the quest itself cant be done until you have a seriously tough army.

Well GW cleared everything in the game down to the individual units so that's their mistake then if its not meant to be a crossover.

Winning battles, taking towns, raiding stance

If you want to cheese it, loot a settlement, then wait a turn, then loot it next turn, rinse and repeat until waaagh.

should be noted though that when azhag has his crown and skullmuncha and a decent orc army under him he is literally death incarnate and cannot be stopped.

Yes

How to actually catch enemies? I guess you HAVE to use a hero because I can't catch shit, they just keep running away from me...

By that time you've already won the game anyway

The quest should be a much lower level quest, and not require a god tier army in the first place. Those spells are the sort of spells that are most fun in the early game. By the time you have the helm its easier to just let the black orcs AFK rape the enemy army.

Also, it should always delete old warhammer after it's released, steam searches your computer and deletes it everytime you log in

Use two armies and ambush to pincer them

Use 2 armies, an agent or ambush stance

Are VC black knights supposed to be good?
>>
>>143989037
They're great with lances.
>>
>>143982942
that is actually my main use for them.

my tactics always revolve around their general charging head first into my army and getting shot dead before he reaches me.
>>
>>143983123
this was a major dissapointment since they're amazing at shredding infantry on TT but in total war even a cannon does the job better.
>>
>>143988649
Waaagh armies are a retarded and obnoxious mechanic. Pretty often they'll siege somewhere for 8 turns and you can't get them to piss off or just attack the place.
>>
any other dwarves just auto-resolve when you actually want to kill most of the stack?

any time I actually fight on the battlefield most of the enemy army always lives cos stunties.
>>
>>143990161
except when your facing them because an AI army with another free AI army is just win-win.

I found them pretty decent. Two nice buffs, fireball actually does decent damage for little cost (especially from an elevated position or if our wizard has a pegasus) and the screaming skull also does decent daage unlike many other vortexes on top of the leadership debuff i doles out to anything it hits.

>>143985668
The Steam tank does have one weakness - it tends to get rekt hard in melee against other monsters. But that's what you have the cannon for. Empire Panzergruppe is a ludicrously killy (and expensive) army setup.

>get my first Waaaagh after like 10 turns
>all the units have a silver chevron
>it's like 5x the strength of my real army

Why are these guys following me when surely it should be the other way around?

Is the redhead dwarf LL at lvl 2 supposed to beat my Grimgor at lvl 16 in a fight?
