What faction have you had the most fun with /twg/?

>>144017739
memes only.

>>144017836
Vampire Counts

It's just comfy, and I like Making The Empire Great Again.

Shame Mannfred is such a massive twat.

>>144017836
Greenskins and Empire. Probably because they seem to be the only two factions that can field "traditional" combined arms armies (melee/ranged/cav/arty all present)

>>144017836
Generally Empire, Hellfire Rockets are dope. So are tanks. But my favourite unit so far are Ironbreakers. Those satchel charges fuck shit up.

>>144017836
Vamps have a comfy map and they get fun once you unlock good units

Empire has the hilarious option of skirmish mode mounted ranged units

I've noticed that one of the names on this map is wrong. I'd like to remind you that this agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

chaos: fun roster, boring mechanics/campaign
empire: fun roster, fun campaign
vampire: arguably fun roster, semi fun campaign
orc: fun end game roster, insanely fun campaign <<<<<<feels most loreishly accurate

>SIGNA FERTE

I started with a Chaos campaign because I wanted to make a big Tzeentch aligned army of Chosens to spam magic onto my enemies.
Unfortunately it seems that this game has zero customization of that kind or maybe things have changed in the last 12 years that I haven't played tabletop.
Anyway i found this game surprisingly boring. Is it just the Chaos faction or even the rest are shit?

If you can do that you should be set for the rest of the campaign, tbqh.

>>144018667
If there is no lore bodyguard/pairing for that LL would a small group of elite units be used instead?

Also how much tougher health wise would this make the LLs units roughly speaking. In my mind having your pairing of 2 characters wont increase health radically(if at all) but increase to match that of LL without any legendary lore bodyguard available hence meaning the original LL is weaker compared to others without the other 'half' of the unit present

maybe chaos has boring or bad mechanics (good luck trying to reinforce when you're 3 provinces deep in enemy territory) but you can't tell me being able to roam around and destroy/pillage whatever you want isn't fun

>>144017836
Vampire counts are incredibly fun for me. Once I've turtled for about 40 or 50 turns, I build an elite offensive and defensive army and fuck the empire. I also love to make deals with the dwarfs during my playthrough, as well as sometimes averland, just so I don't get fucked from behind when attacking the empire. Maximum comfy.

>>144020176
Now, I liked the Empire campaign, but saying that there is enemy diversity is just a plain old lie. You fight other humans for a bit in the early game, and then its nothing but marauders and dog spam from up north.

I can understand why, CA. But I'm still pissed.

I think 200 is enough, but it's still odd how it crashes here

>>144020383

You get to fight the Empire and Orcs early game(And maybe even Bretonnia and Dwarves)

Then depending on how you branch out, you get to fight more of dorfs or Bretonnia, or you go east and fight Sylvania, or go south and possibly fight more orcs. Then you get to fight a bunch of Chaos

>>144020260
Queek will probably be a complete beast in combat and give you Stormvermin bonuses.

>>144020467
Try very hard campaign with normal battles (it's in the escape menu after you start the save)

Is it true there's hidden files about elves and LL grom?

>>144020556
>dwarves

No reason to do so

>Bretonnia

Never attacked me, no reason to attack them either.

>VC

Unless you immediately branch into Stirland to get to them, no. Also, trying to deal with both VC and chaos fuckers from the north is a retarded thing to do.

Orcs are always dead before you ever get to set foot in their territory. Being completely surrounded by Marienburg, Bretonnia and the dwarves does that.

Ultimately, you always fight humans, either with bows, guns or with dogs.

What's the closest fight you've ever had, /twg/?

Whoever chose Azhag's starting units should be fucking gutted. They're horrible compared to Grimgor

Azhag gets a Big'un while Grimgor gets a fucking Black Orc with the Immortulz banner.

Azhag gets the Spider Rider which isn't too bad, while Grimgor gets the Boar Boyz

Then Grimgor gets a Doom Diver Catapult, and Azhag gets a fucking GOBLIN ARCHER.

Combine that with the fact that you have to wait until level 8 to become a worse Manfred, and the memey as fuck "+10 diplomatic relations with Undead" I don't know why I'd ever play this guy.

Lizard men in "South America". Dark elves in "North America". Tomb Kangz in "Africa". The red/white mark over Tilea/Estalia (Italy/Spain) is the Skaven, although they are everywhere, Skavenblight, their main hold, is located there. To the east is the Ogre Kingdoms (north) and the Chaos dwarfs (south)

>>144020937
>>144021157
I assume because CA want to encourage players to get levelling early seeing as its a new feature.

Queek has some pretty cool items like Dwarf Gouger and that necklace and armour. If we get Thanquol, Queek and Ikit then Skaven would have really diverse character options.

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.

What other LLs would you want to see for the existing races in the base game?

Volkmar (AKA: Not Pope) imho seems like the next logical choice for Empire. Able melee warrior, but primarily a spell slinger, he sort of splits the difference between Franz and Gelt.

Campaign traits would probably look something like Gelts, with bonuses to Warrior Priests and Witch Hunters. Maybe even some kind of factionwide reduction to Vampiric and Chaos corruption.

I have no idea what kind of starting units though.

>>144023359
in all my campaigns greenskins absolutely stomp manlets at first and then suddenly start losing after the dwarves are limited to the mountains in the empire land

Where's the mod that gives Empire archers already? I don't want bloody crossbows or guns I want cheap archers! I don't know why CA didn't include them when they'd just have to reskin some Bretonnian archers

How do Orkz deal with Cav?

Don't say gobbos.

Guns were so braindead easy to use, they completely replaced the previous braindead easy to use ranged weapon, the crossbow in record time.
In the 30y War, they literally made a little pamphlet with pictures on how to load a gun properly for all the illiterate soldiers, because that was the only remotely difficult thing about it. Pointing a stick somewhere and pulling a trigger is not in any way difficult, unlike actually using a bow.

>Does the game just cheat spawn these stacks for the ai?

Of course it does. AI gives zero fucks about upkeep, recruit/build cost, recruit/build time, lord wounded time, travel distance while obscured by fog, freshly recruited unit rank, etc. Just always expect the worst as you play.

>>144027687
The point is that despite them being shit, they were better than other levy due to how easy guns are to use in comparison.

>>144027687
My point is that you are wrong. They were only shit because they'd run from bayonet charges. They'd still shoot their guns just fine. It doesn't take very long to learn how to stuff powder in a barrel.

DA LITTLE WAAAGH IS GROWING STRONGAH

Having a great time with my VC campaign, they are so fun. The units are amazing and great fun to use, and the campaign mechanics are different enough from the rest to make it interesting.

Best faction so far, only faction i have not completed is Empire so far.

How often do you auto resolve?

Using guns effectively takes training, especially seeing that volume of fire is key. That takes a lot of drilling. Riflemen formations also come into play which is even more training.

Why does attila seem to have no torrents?

>>144028070
And this differs from bow formations how, aside from not actually being very taxing on the body and not requiring additional training on how to properly use your weapon?

How to use Kemmler, so far im level 10 and have only been leveling his spells.

I have the Debuff, buff heal and raise dead.

So twice isn't enough huh. I've wiped out all the other Chaos stacks, killed Sigvald 3 times or so, Archaon twice now, and Kholek fucked off in a boat but now is about to get his giant ass pounded, so I hope that shit comes soon because this is getting trivial.

Campaign win holding Chaos.

They keep resettling the towns I sack(which makes for a big slush fund to build up my cities) and that in turns lets me support larger armies.

By End Times, I met Archaon and the Changer of Ways in a slugfest of epic proportions. They trounced my combined armies, but the thing is, I crippled theirs...and I had two more left over.

>>144026375
>Top knotz
That explains them a bit.

>>144028232
just be thankful that your playing against vanilla chaos and not increased horde sizes

having 10 full stack chaos armies coming down to rape you makes for a very painful experience

Why are guns so shit compared to crossbowmen?

>>144027691
It takes no training to use the gun. It takes training to actually hit something with said gun.

the madman

i got so hard and tried so far but i can't beat legendary as sigvald end my life

I jsut finished a Greenskin campaign and happily built Grimgor as a fighter, and it was glorious. Should I do the same with Karl Franz, or should I build him to buff my troops?

>>144028470
Sounds like a terrible thing

I'm using the Chaos Wait mod that increases their stacks by 2 I believe, along with 2x build and research times and that was hard enough for me

Use both you fucking pleb.

2 units of crossbowmen behind your line, and 2 units of gunners to flank with. Guns absolutely fucking murder.

Auto resolve forces scenarios where nothing routes ever. This is why monstrous creatures fucking get massacred.

If you don't believe me just play a VC campaign and make an army with lots of scary units.

Pic related was a quest battle for the sword of unholy power or whatever. That second army literally never even joined the fight because I made so many of the orcs from the original army route, and that killed all of their morale and made them loose.

Generally speaking any other faction would have to have killed like 5 times as many things as I did to win. I have more pictures of this shit too, where auto resolves tell me DECISIVE DEFEAT and I lose every unit but kill like 1300 out of 2500 empire soldiers, but when I actually play the battle I only kill about 250, lose about 60, and get Heroic Victory.

If you want to be lazy, go with infantry and cav and arty. If you want to shit on people go with creatures and arty.

>>144028646
guns are good for garrisons but crossbows are just better in every way

>better range
>less finicky in aiming
>cheaper
>less micro
>only downside is you need to bring maybe 4 to have serious effects

I am tempted to make a 20 stack handgunner army soon though just for the giggles
