TWW is the worst TW game ever

Because there is absolutely no way I could ever play a different TW game without getting bored shitless

All this magic, diverse units, monsters, fun main lords, factions that actually feel and play differently

CA has really fucked the whole brand now, I dont even want M3 anymore I just want more TWW

Mannfred's sword quest was so hilariously easy that the third wave of enemies ran away before getting within 500m of my guys. I guess goblins aren't so great against crypt horrors and scary vargheists. Still, most of my army was just skellington spearmans. There's no way they actually expect you to march all the way into the fucking badlands though, so I'm glad you can just teleport.

It really isn't unexpected, isn't this the same thing fantasy fans use to pick apart the unit variety in historical games? It really just boils down to the few unit types that matter.
>>
>>144191973
Goblins against Vampires really is fucking awful, I had to load an old save when I managed to provoke the VC in my Gobbo campaign.

>>144192000
You mean they're the only ones with all four?
>>
>>144192000
Same thing as any fantasy game.There's a strong race with some disadvantage, a weak race with some advantage, a few specialized race, and then the humans which are completely middle of the road.
>>
>>144192000
Dwarfs work the same way for me desu, never really needed cav to win my battles and I prefer not using it even if I have to.
>>
>>144192305
I've never been big on cav in ancient Total Wars, don't know why. I just enjoy spamming massive lines of super heavy infantry and rolling the enemy up like a carpet.
>>
>>144192178
The only ones that have decent units in all 4 categories.

Orcs have all 4 too, but most of time you're better off without the archers, unless you're fighting other orcs.

Chaos was my favorite race in Fantasy, but they are so boring to play in total warhammer. Just endless melee spam. You can get few hellcannons and chaos knights to make it less worse but it's still so tedious.

I've not played as Chaos yet, when I've faced them they don't really seem like the super elite army you'd expect on the table top though.

Balancing, or lack of it, around the stack limit is causing some strangeness I guess.

>>144192769

fug, confederating with bloody spears may have been a mistake, I got all that clay above deathpass, but I will likely just lose it soon to rebellions and inevitable war declarations anyway, though I suppose Gunbad I can hold, since it has a gold mine and is a city so pretty much impossible for the AI to capture

but then again, if I didnt take it the Dwarves would have, and fuck those manlets, the only downside here is that I now discovered the vampire spookmeisters and I really dont want to fight them, yet

crypt horrors are fucking nice, so far they've been shredding whatever I send them into

greatsword graveguards have 13 less melee defence, 4 more charge bonus, and 2 less weapon strength, but obviously they have 26 armor piercing damage compared to normal ones 8. They also don't have shields, which for graveguards are the 50% ones, not 30% like most things have. Normal ones cost 83% as much upkeep as well. If you're going against anything with a decent amount of armor, greatswords are probably winners

I heard higher difficulty in battle simply give you a flat leadership malus. What of it ? IT's not even a percentage ? If that's the case it means that factions with lower leadership ( VC and orcs mainly ) suffer the mosts from higher difficulty.

This is the only reference to difficulty and the combat in the entire TWW database. I spend about 2 hours looking thoroughly through everything, I also looked through all the older games from what modders found and there has NEVER been any difference in combat other than morale buffs/debuffs. You can see it ingame as well when you mouse over the morale of your troops in a battle.

AI obviously refers to the AIs bonuses, player for the players debuffs. It stacks on very hard/legendary.

In terms of its gameplay effects it can be massive. For example, a unit of orc boys will beat a unit of dwarf warriors on normal, but get absolutely decimated on hard or very hard. Which totally fucks up the orcs early game against dwarfs.

Because horses aren't orky. Boars have tusks, are violent, and eat anything. They're basically orcs on four legs with fur. Oh an yes, before any of you autists point out that orks are from 40k I know and you can eat a dick. The term still applies.

Maybe in multiplayer battles they're not as efficient or effective or something, but they're perfectly fucking fine in single-player. They're only 168 upkeep per turn, so it's not like they're going to destroy an army of halberds or something, but they can definitely hold their own against elite troops. They're got armor piercing, so they're useful for fighting armored enemies which most of the stronger melee units are. Some of the units in this game are pretty shit, but ignore people who say shit like 'all the monsters in the game are fucking useless'.

You know, this point always bugs me. People always say the series feels too "arcade" like.

When they've all played, more or less, the same unless you mod it a lot. I've barely changed playing since M2 or R1 and it still works just fine.

This also reminds me you can get a General with like 40HP in M2.

When I think of arcade, rhythm games, fighting games, light gun shooters and racing games come to mind mostly. The arcades I went to didn't have any turn based strategy or real time tactical games. Care to name a few and elaborate on what they're like so I can understand what you're trying to say?

Do people really dislike the new sieges that much? They're really simplified sure but the AI can't handle them for shit in older games. At least now they can attack/defend somewhat competently. A little anyway.

The racial siege engines are cool as shit too, especially the dwarf ones.

funny thing is I felt no connection to the units in Shogun 2. this was primarily in campaign though. i never played multiplayer.

Do the unique buildings you can build as the empire provide their bonuses for units recruited everywhere or just in that province?

Everything is just that province unless it says "factionwide"
>>
>>144198303
Yeah I have to admit this is, so far, my biggest disappointment. I really loved Avatar Conquest in Shogun 2.

I don't see a point in playing throwaway, pointless multiplayer matches that don't even matter.
>>
>>144198626
>funny thing is I felt no connection to the units in Shogun 2. this was primarily in campaign though. i never played multiplayer.

This

Infact I'd call Shogun 2 one of the worst offenders when it comes to feeling disconnected from your units, because there were so incredibly few different units that you were leading clone armies.

Warhammer actually does this really well I feel, you get a unit that performs exceptionally in a battle, you decide to change its name, and you form an emotional connection to it.
>>
>>144198109
I like how arcade just means playable

>>144198465

I believe the word arcade is being used to compare MP battles/campaign game play to that of a typical arcade game. Short plays, simple mechanics, no depth, a jump in and play kind of game.

imo they're ok but iI would really like access to the whole city. or maybe make it a multi-tier fight where you have to take sections of the city until you reach the centre.

Their defending in sieges is worse than ever. Especially since standing on the wall seems to offer zero benefit against being shot with bows or crossbows.

How do I deal with the various dwarf factions as VC ? They always sneakily declare to me once my armies are away somewhere and raze one of my settlements in the same turn.

If I defeat them and raze theirs, it's just a matter of time before some other dwarf faction comes and resettles it and does the same kind of trick.

Am I supposed to genocide all dwarfs ?

why not nerf the towers (just enough to reach artillery range) and add boiling oil to the walls to make storming the castle more dangerous (and make siege towers more valuable)?

I'm trying. Northern border is secured. But southern is my problem (grenstadt, schwatzhafen, pfeidorf), they get regularly rolled over by Karak {Hirn, Hangazbar, Zifin, Norn} who all hate me.

I'll try and git gud, maybe force some of them into an non-aggression pact instead of asking or money during peace deal.

Other question as VC : are the diplomacy techs worth it ? It seems everyone already hates me. But could that allow me to get NAPs and Trade deals ? I don't want to test it and lose all those tech turns for nothing.

I don't play MP outside of having tried a few matches for Shogun 2, but I've been playing TW since the first Shogun and I don't feel battles have gotten much deeper or shallower after Rome. There are always slight changes to the mechanics but nothing drastic. The biggest change is how it's slightly faster now, but not that much. Either you didn't like it from the beginning, and in that case what the fuck are you doing still playing, or you just got into the franchise and don't like it, in which case shit happens, you have to deal with it and go play something else.

Absolutely retarded to call it arcadey in any way though.

Yeah, they do exactly the same thing now.

Take out one tower, kill the unit standing near it and they will just keep sending a new unit to stand there until you run out of arrows or units they can send onto the walls.

>>
>>144199954
can attest to this

easy way to take out marienburg as empire in less than 15 turns, even on legendary

give franz pistol korps and like 6 crossbowmen and let him tank a tower while your artillery chips it down, then use him to bait enemies up onto walls and just murder them with crossbowmen
>>
>>144200176

He doesn't even need to tank it really, you can dodge the vast majority of the tower shots by running in circles.
>>
>>144199954
>>144200190

You don't need a unit to tank their ranged at all in the older ones. You just sit him outside their view range and they'll stay forever fixated on him while they get rained on.

They also all moshpit one doorway in the old ones making it impossible to lose since you just need to sit there and let them funnel themselves into the wall of death.

This is a problem in Attila on like one map, I dont know why that map in particular they never decide to do it that way but its a shit map to start with.

>- Shogun 2 onwards feels too arcade like
shitty warscape engine
>- Battles end too quickly
shitty warscape engine and to keep it fun
>- Multiplayer has been shafted
It's been improved unless you liked the god awful avatar system, would actually fit somewhat in warhammer though
>- Maps are tiny
Don't seem that small to me
>- Poor diplomacy etc
par for the course
>- Mentions RP, no connection to units, can't customize units, loved Shogun 2 Avatar mode
Didn't care for avatar mode but there isn't much of a connection either, couldn't say there ever was unless you wanted it
>- Warhammer missed an opportunity by not focusing on MP and having unit painter/named units
Eh, an army painter would be nice along with named units, something more like the tabletop for some things.
>- MP battles not options for night battles, snow battles etc
Should be there if it's applicable.

>>144206001
Was it with a full stack? Because that is actually a perfect time to crush their one stack, since you lose like half your men colonizing stuff. Then you can snag Marienberg early.
>>
>>144206001
Isn't that better for you? Marienburg has now diminished its force strength by half and given you a free level one settlement instead of forcing you to build it yourself. Crush them for their insolence and retake Marienburg.

have you tried the battle yet

i personally haven't done that one, but a bunch of those appear like overwhelming odds at first but the reinforcements just trickle in at a really slow rate or just require you to kill a lord and the quest is basically over

the power bar is a bad indicator of how hard a bunch of the quest battles will be

if you have tried it and it's dummy hard i apologize

Nope, it was JUST barely enough to colonize it. So now I have to choose whether to take it back, enter a premature war with Marienburg while their actual stacks are still chilling up there or leave it to them and have an incomplete Reikland until my army is big enough I feel I can take on Marienburg.

What's worse, before the turn even ended the dwarves I had been sending ocasional gifts to so they would accept my fuckin NAP just razed Helmgart as I was finishing the defenses, and then a brettonian count declared war on me. Fuck this, I'm restarting, I would have prefered the full orc stack instead of everyone fucking me over in the most spectacular way possible without even being able to defend.

Try the battle first. There's usually some trick to it even though it might appear to be an uneven fight.

Some of them are "Kill the lord before the other reinforcements show up" and they usually give you a pretty good head start before they actually arrive.

On S2 i didn't even open the campaign. I played nothing but multiplayer from day 1.

I'm among the people who actually enjoyed that avatar shit. I'm not saying it wasn't broken, but being able to name your own units and decide what stats you wanted to increase and get some abilities was pretty neat. Instead of just scrapping multiplayer progression as a whole they should just rework it. Casuals loved that shit.

revamping would have been the direction the End Times seemed to go (even as poorly handled as it was) before the last book, even if it failed to revamp the biggest flaw, the lack of a skirmish option with smaller points and adjusted rules

My preferred army:
>Grimgor up front
>3x black orcs, immortals in the middle, as the center of the line
>3x boyz on each flank
>2x arrer Boyz to pick targets
>2x trolls to work the flanks and kill flanking cavalry
>2x doom divers
>2x goblins to be disposable
>2x Wolf riders hidden in trees

Results would be 200+ kills for Grimgor, 200 for the immortals, 100 or so for the other black orcs pretty consistently. Grimgor seeks out enemy hero's of course, and the boyz/goblins replenish quickly or can be replaced in one turn so he can keep moving and fighting almost every turn.

People thought Total War was ever super complex and involved? The game has been fundamentally the same since like, ever.

How do I effectively charge using cav (Empire)? Do I have to manually disengage after initial charge, go back, and click back on the target to charge again or is there a better way?

Also, for demigryphs, which one is better, normal or halberd? Do I charge with them too or how to use them effectively?

Basically I'm just confused as to what the difference is between different kinds of cavalry (empire knight, reiksguard, demigryphs..)

Well you doubleclick and have the cav coming in from the rear. Then nothing really happens and you pull them out, doing the same thing again.
As your infantry and archers break the enemys army, you chase down the routing units.
This will give your cav the highest amount of kills while not actually doing something.

You then come here and post a screenshot of a Demigryph killing 300 guys, complaining about how fucking OP Demigryphs are and how Empire needs to be nerfed.

It's called narrative, that little line of lore has nothing to do with the game, but it's there, it makes characters feel alive and human and let's you know that there's life in the setting besides "Sigmarines fighting Bloodsecrators for all eternity" and that even the Emperor Karl Franz is not some unopposed, one-dimensional omnipotent god

>DUDE. FORGE YOUR OWN NARRATIVE. LMAO
>>
>>144210039

How hard is this to understand?
One on one shielded are better, but you pay about 30% more for the shielded guys.
In straight fighting you can bring more unshielded and thus they are better.
If you want them to survive missile fire you may want to invest in shields.
>>
>>144219026

Are you fucking retarded? Just play the game and compare the two. It has little to no matched combat which is a pretty big step towards M2 similarity to give an example. Your entitled ass probably wouldn't be satisfied with anything CA puts out though so why not just fuck off.

Probably dorfs. Most factions have a hard time conquering your key areas because navigating it without underway is a bitch, you are surrounded by other dwarves who will ally with you easily, greenskin low tier units can't hurt armor for shit so you have an easier start. Chaos is relatively far away so you can leave it to humans and vampires to deal with the first invasion.

But it was stupidly complex.
Like, looking at Medieval 2.

Why do I need a Tanner's to make leather armor when later units:
1. Don't use it
2. Start with higher tier armor
3. Yet I still need a Tanner to get units in leather to get them into the next tier

I mean, the old games had no building slots, so there wasn't ever any real need to decide how to build a settlement because it could/was going to have anything anyway.

The games may have started having less options, but they've actually made your choices matter more then the older games.

If only, because my reikguards always got tangled up after initial charge and got locked into fighting with them melee. I tried discharging them to reform and recharge, but it is so difficult since once locked up they keep fighting in melee, and most likely there are other fronts/units that needs my attention so its really annoying that i can't just make them go through a unit to an open space instead of just doubleclicking on the unit i want to charge and redo.

I assume flying units like demigryphs will have the same issue, no?

About the only time my cav ever kills more than 50 guys was just because they're all routing already and I just used them to kill units.

I'm dwarf, it's turn 100 and the Chaos have razed every city north of Castle Drakenhof.

I thought it would be a big fight and garrisoned the three dwarf towns bordering the vampires then sent my main hero north to fight them (just into Vampire lands)
I fought two battles against the Chaos, once against the Sun Eater guy and once against another dude (not Archaeon) and now it says Faction Defeated for the Chaos Warriors

Non-shielded Spearmen actually have identical stats to shielded ones exept slghtly less melee defense and lacking the 30% missile resist to the front. They're a flat downgrade. It's why they're cheaper and avaiable in the level 1 barracks. 25 gold less upkeep (which gets even less with various modifiers that reduce upkeep cost) isn't really worth the loss of utility in the campaign unless you're really desperate - for mass-moshpits with other infantry, Swordsmen beat both types of Spearmen for the same amount of gold invested anyway. 3 Swordsmen vs 4 Spearmen w/o shields ends in the spears getting rekt, so as your melee core for early armies you want a bunch Swordsmen supported by shielded Spearmen that act as ablative shields against missiles and cavalry/monster charges.

I had the impression that these animations are just a visualization of much more abstract mechanics of block a vs bock b. running in the background.

Maybe someone has concrete data on this, I get the feeling we are all just playing the guessing game.

As far as I know, no. Zombies walk a bit slower (I know they are slow to begin with) but they were given a health boost so they make a better meat shield. I assume they're still shit at fighting and still crumbles if the necro lord got killed.

I'm playing empire, so i only know about them so far.

He's also the best way to balance the roster. We've got a squishy wizard and a muscle wizard/assassin. The next can either be the tank or the "Mannfred but better in every way."

There sure seemed a difference with the older games. Soldiers seemed to have some kind of life bar indicated by their bloodying up.

I would love to read up on the actual mechanics to be honest, but never found something solid. Only people giving their opinion.

So what are great weapons specifically used for? I see a lot it armies where the only melee units are great weapons, be that swords it axes.

Are they counters for specific units, is there a reason to use them over regular weapon units?

Let's not forget how he attempted to get it on with Ulrika... but then again, who can fucking blame him? Pretty, capable, "good" vampire girls in a world where getting fed on is like the ultimate pleasure?

Concentrate on sorting out the souh first, like your quest wants you to. Once you got all that area , you have a safe corner province to expand out from.
Don't move into Blood River till you got Blightwater and Nagash's wrapped up.By then you'll have a waagh or two and be able to choke them with your green dead.
Tell goblins to fuck off until you get night goblins or wolf or spider riders. Use yer boyz.
Also keep in mind since the main way difficulty is raised is through unit buffs, elite armies like dwarves become brutally hard, and you're playing the least elite army in the game as olrcs, so the gap in unit quality is going to be magnified even more.
Grimgor da best hero, thoguh, abuse him. Build him up as a hero slayer first.

Fuck off, just let me stop next to an army and give them an option to attack or not. This running around is bullshit when you can only launch an attack from one stance.
