Manfred actually got off his helsteed sometime between getting all his shit razed and now. Makes it a lot easier to start fireballing him, which Sarth is doing as fast as he can. But manny is fucking built, and has some ward save on him.

The other heroes were actually 2 necromancers and a vampire waifu. It's looking manageable if I can kill manfred, but it'll take a lot of time for the bird to kill four heroes and I don't think marauders are gonna hold that long.

The final count comes to six zombies, 10 skeletons, 2 dire wolves, a bat, 2 necros, a vamp waifu and manfred. They've begun the advance, now we get to work.

A dogfight breaks out on the left flank, which we easily crush. My right hand dogs are free to range around their line immediately. I want his necromancers with their 15 armor, but the vampire waifu in the tit dress is chilling with them and has 96 armor. She will shit all over my dogs before they can kill two necros, and I will need my dogs to do more than kill two necromancers if I'm going to win.


Why does the vampire in the tit dress have 96 armor?

>>144288485

so how likely would you guys say that Kislev and Estalia/tilea/border princes will get unique units?

seeing as how they got unique voice acting and even some unique buildings I'd say its pretty likely.

not to mention they're not counted as Empire factions with the whole Kislev and Southern Realms diplomatic cathegories.

>>144288598
they might release the human-like factions following bretonnia to sort of "hold us over" when it comes to more unique/monster factions like skaven and the tomb kangz.

i don't know how likely, but i hope they have some interesting gameplay concepts behind them, though i haven't got anything specific in mind.

Kislev is a dead certainty, with access to Ice Magic as a faction unique magic lore and Katarin as a LL with the rest of the Kislev roster mostly being a reskinned Empire with a couple of unique units like winged hussars and boghtyrs and maybe at a stretch bear cavalry.

The rest I'm not sure about.

Manfred is in melee and I think it's all over already. He drank a potion of toughness, healed all the fireball damage and is now regenerating and scaring the shit out of my marauders while the bird runs to try to take him down. The stats say manfred will stomp me flat, but since he isnt mounted I might be able to keep him flat on his ass.

I've got the hounds going in now to try and get some crumbling going away from the necromancers, while some veterans of the second line try and sneak through for an encirclement. If the front line breaks, we're all fucked.

Battle difficulty very hard or did you change it?

>>144289539
It's either that or autoresolve I'd guess

>>144288123

One's for taking screenshots, the other is for clarity when playing.

>>144289404

You're approaching combat with vampires the wrong way. You don't fight everything, you basically just try to kite the rest of the army away while cucking the lord so that his army crumbles.

>>144289509
>Steam Tank health that low
Did the zombies get it or was it damaged in an earlier battle?

is this just me or does autoresolve a siege battle make you lost less soldiers than does it manually?

Currently purifying Sylvania of vampire filth. Looking forward to restoring it to its natural state.

>>144289786
It's not just you. I only play out a siege if its an important castle like Altdorf or something for the cinematic feel.

>>144289762
The zombies brought it down from half, to that. I was fairly surprised, but then again it was the Steam Tank versus 7-8 units

I've just finished destroying Chaos, and turned around with my two armies to declare on VC since I was already there

>>144289539

very hard battles as well

I auto resolved most battles especially when I had overwhelming chances of victory and didn't want to waste time since I had tried at least 10 times on very hard and got smashed a lot.

The waifu leaves her pet necromancers to join the scrap, and Dogs 1 and 3 shoot off immediately to go for an assassination. A group of spearmen held in reserve is going to engage them soon, and I'm probably gonna lose my dogs, but we're doing good damage to the necros already. On the left flank, the absence of the reserve spears means I can move some veterans around and start enclosing their army. I still have some veterans in the rear watching the front line carefully, and Sarthorael is actually doing decently against manfred. I'm saving my recharge scroll to get a double fireball off as soon as I've got him in kill range.

>>144289756
There are four heroes in his army, and I need time to cu ck them all. Skeleton spearmen will fuck me if I don't keep them tied up in battle, because sarthorael actually has 15 armor. And he is literally the only unit in this army that will even damage a 90+ armor unit.

Can I mention again that the vampiress in the tit dress has 96 armor?

The spearmen got smashed in the side by Dog 4, who then retreated quickly to try and get them to pursue. It's worked, and the veterans on the left flank have turned instead to get a sick downhill charge on the unbraced spearmen. Meanwhile hit and run maneuvers on the right are keeping a potential zombie flanker busy, while also returning to finish off the necromancers.


Manfred is getting blown out by Sarthorael, but too slowly, I think. The vampiress is in the fight and doing work on the marauders, and Sarth has managed mostly to knock manfred around without doing much damage.

Ambushes are key, especially cos they give you a huge fucking advantage anyway. If you make a weak shit bait army or an undefended village, park an ambush army in a forest between them and the enemy. I'm reasonably sure that the AI works by not being able to see your ambush army or remembering where it was, so they should just charge straight at your bait and get ambushed, unless the ambush fails.

Other option is to use whatever agent is able to block their movement. I have a level 30 banshee as VC and she consistently allows me to charge up and fuck people by basically halting their progress, especially if they have to cross a river and it makes them unable to cos they only have 35% movement.

>>144290710

What if instead of age of shitmar chaos pushes everyone to the brink of defeat and then grimgor and pals show up (after an adventure down south and kick the ever living shit out of archaon but not before good old grimgor gets another blow to the noggin. When he wakes up he's even more nuts about being a prophet and decides on the most kunnin and brutal plan, or brutally kunnin plan. He gathers up all the orcs and goblins and in his insanity goes on a "crusade" into the chaos wastes with the goal of headbutting khorne into submission since he's the fightiest of the gods so it would be a right propa rumble. This gets rid of the two obvious big bads along with the serious losses by skaven standards so now its all about intrigue and fighting between the rest of the lot and less eternal the end is nigh crap.

Battles are interesting with new units and heroes but a little fast.
Campaign is cool with variety but ultimately shallow and tends to swing from very difficult to very easy depending on what the AI feels like doing.

The decisive moment has come. Three separate encirclements are happening at once, and I've chosen to send the veterans to help clear the minor battles on the flanks, so that they can all move together to crush the center later. Sarthorael activates his limit break scroll and goes on a spellcasting spree, chucking double fireballs and metal shards everywhere. I have no idea where vamp waifu went, but at this point she's an afterthought.

cheers anon thats insanely helpful to know, do you know what setting determines the unit variety as while I was doing this I could get up to 5 different units, if thats just something from my settings then I can add a few more skins

>>144291853
Because it doesn't make as much money as space marines?

>>144291930
I figured out how to in about 3 hours. I just used pack file manager and its fairly straightforward if you've ever seen any type of coding.

you just copy the appropriate armour load section from x unit to armour load y section.

>>144288598
Kislev is almost 100%

I hope after that and Bretonnia they fuck off and focus on non-human factions instead of working on every shitty boring human shitter.

Anyone still playing older TW games or has everyone moved to TWW ?

>>144292152
next big faction is beastmen, then wood elves

You can have the beastmen without the WE as they are also at war with brets and imperials, but having the WE without the beastmen is pretty retarded

So yeah, beastmen first, then Wood elves ( even if you didn't buy the beastmen dlc, they would appear with a limited roster)

>>144292234
>Empire TW keeps crashing
>reinstalled S2 but not feeling like playing now
>R2 campaign is still vanilla, can't decide what mod to try out
>warhammer needs nvidia drivers because I get some tearing and I could use a bit more FPS to be comfortable

But yeah, I'll focus on WH asap

>>144292262
Usually you get all the content of a faction update even if you don't buy the DLC, you just can't play as them. If you didn't own the beastmen as a playable race you'd still see all their stuff when you meet them as enemies.

>>144292117
>aesthetic > edge
This, nothing compares to their fucking swag feather hats!
Time to roleplay Sigvald wanting to stomp the Empire because they're more stylish than him

>>144291227
>TWW is like an exciting 90 minute action movie whereas the other TWs are 3 hour long documentaries.

To me, TWW is like a series of exciting 90 minute action movies that end up consisting of 9 movies and while they have flaws they're incredibly fun to watch. I can sit down and go full nolife and beat a long campaign in a day and a half, but it's so much fun and everytime I beat one I instantly want to restart.

With Shogun 2 and Medieval 2 I'd play for hours and get burnt out after wiping out 3-4 clans/factions.

>>144291003
Just post 'em anon, /twg/ needs battles. I don't think anyone plays this series for the graphics.

>>144291523
Does the model have realistic genitalia?

I need to know for a friend.

>>144292461
I know that feeling, first time I ever finished a TW campaign was Asturias in Charlemagne (playing since Rome I), because slaughtering muslims was fun until the end.
First time ever I managed a long campaign victory was in warhammer because it's even more fun!
Most fun TW by far

>>144292327
What about Attila ?

>>144292570
You'd better move to kingdom death

>>144292545
i forgot i can't take off realism mode on legendary, so i can't do screenshots midbattle or anything and i don't think i have enough enthusiasm to look at my own replays

>>144292683
that said, if i do some casul campaign battles at some point i'll be sure to see if i can find any interesting battles

>>144292629
Don't have it yet, setting was lower on the list and since my rig is getting a bit old I wasn't sure I could run it, will get it after the upgrade in a few months

No, its a youtube link in the bottom right around the wall area that leads to a (now private) video of Joey congratulating the winner (there was literally only one (1) person who won) and it was an anon from here who got it. Supposedly Craig was going to give him his secret prize today. My guess is its just gonna be a DLC code for Chaos or something.

Demigryph halberds or normal demigryphs?

Whats this easter egg talk?

>>144293756
Normal for anti infantry, halberds for anti anything.

I get the impression that I'm supposed to rush Big 'Uns as greenskins.

Boyz and Arrer boyz can't do shit vs Dwarfs.

>>144293673
What else could it be? Having a competition like that for any kind of unreleased content is going to cause a massive shitstorm. So its either a DLC code for chaos, code for the game or a physical prize like a HK edition or a t-shirt. Either way its probably the most stupid "competition" they've made so far. Leaving everyone else in the dark. The only reason we even know about it is because a fellow understander won and posted screenshots. Fucking sekrit club bullshit.

Well the anon said he would post today after Craig got back to him, so I guess we'll find out later.

People keep saying they're useless.

The idea of overwhelming enemies with a Goblin Great Shaman, 12 melee goblin stacks and 7 archer stacks does sound somewhat amazing.

Manfred on zombie dragon with full stack of fell bats against 1 commander unit might be easy to get.

>>144294340
Woah, alright, slow down. I'm talking wolf and spider riders, and maybe 2 units of night goblin archers and 2 night goblin swords.

The swords make a great crossbow screen at the front of your formation, soaking up 50% of missiles and their morale isn't a problem outside of melee combat. You can also engage them later once the scrap has started, as an extra rear charge.

The arrows poison the dwarves and keep things easier for your boyz.

The riders do... cavalry things.

>>144294424
Only use melee fanatics, it's decent to have a ball or three rolling into the enemy and then a bunch of goblins sticking everyone on the floor with poisoned knives. Arrow fanatics will always release back into their defenders.

alright so the bretonian zombie project is going further, I learned how to put hats on the units but it seems that the regular bret 'head'model must come with a cowl or chainmail as there is quite a gap, as you can see with pic related

>>144295197
Empire players will go all
>muh average joes
>muh underdogs
>muh fighting against monsters

Then they take uber units and are better than everyone else. The whole point of the provincial troops was combined arms to overcome the odds, not having DBZ stuff that can win on its own.

>>144295118
A pair of spear goblins in your early game stacks work alright, again as a screen for your advance. Without poison arrows, I'd stick to orc arrer boyz for ranged. Get some riders though, boar boyz are good chargers but kind of slow to get around where you need them urgently. Harassment and disruption work better than one solid charge when it comes to dwarves.

>>144295319
the vanguard deployment is also nice to take out artillery.

This one

Reposting from last thread:

1 Lord
1 Warrior Priest
8 Swordsmen
5 Spears (Shields)
4 Crossbows
2 Pistoliers

vs.

1 Chaos Lord
1 Chaos Wizard
1 Chaos Warriors
4 Marauders
5 Marauder Horsemen
4 Marauder Horsemen (Throwing Axes)
5 Chaos Hounds
1 Chaos Spawn
3 Hellcannons

Auto Resolve has this fucking mess at 50% and if I do auto it I win and only lose the god damn Warrior Priest. Clearly the game thinks this is winnable but every time I've tried to tackle this battle, I get shit on super hard and route because I can't catch anything and get easily surrounded. Is this even remotely winnable outside the lucky autoresolve?

cheers anon I just wanted these zombies to be better in this game.


alright lads so they are almost almost done. I just gotta make their weapons more lore friendly. so their is a choice, currently
20% of the units have swords
20% have an axe
40% have spears
20% have a broken polearm which looks baller.

should I keep the 40% spears for a bretonian unit, keep note its purely visual and makes no effect statswise/anything. I'm just conflicted about it.

Karl Franz is going to beat Grimgor almost every time because he's a Duelist. He's better against single targets but much worse in groups. Grimgor on the other hand can jump into 3-4 full stacks and send 20 guys flying in the air with each swing and never die.

Is auto resolve completely bugged? I had a 90% win chance, instead opted to fight it since I was literally outnumbered 2-1 and I lost the fight pretty badly??

>>144298880
Unless they're units of hammerers in which case he's fucked

>>144298979

Some Chaos or chaos barbarian tribes units are bugged for auto resolve I believe.

>>144298208
That weapon the guy right in the bottom centre of your image seems good for Bretonnians, looks like one of their broken halberds.

If the polearms you're talking about are just generic spears it probably wouldn't work, since Bretonnians don't use them. Any Falchions you can give them?

Literally the words preceding "and I only lose the warrior priest" is if "if I auto it". My point is that autoresolve is telling me I've got a 50/50 chance on a battle that I literally have not gotten anything but a Clear Defeat on doing manually, using every cheesy tactic I can think of and can't get anywhere. Whether I charge headlong or turtle up on a hillside in a giant phalanx, I just get completely surrounded and engulfed. Even their shitty warhounds give me trouble. When I set my Pistoliers to skirmish, they either run bug retarded into some woods to the side (instead of toward my line) and get chased down or refuse to back off in the first place, taking a charge despite being on skirmish. I just wanted to know if anyone (like say a Dwarf Player) can tell me what to do when dealing with the All Cav From Hell here. Is autoresolve just fucking with me?

>>144298987
In the quest for Grimgor's Blood Forged armor I was getting fucked so I withdrew every single unit I had and let Grimgor fight all 400 dwarf miners and warriors and he ended up dicking them all

I have no experience fighting hammerers though.

>>144298979
Auto resolve is generally more efficient than fighting manually unless you have the right units to counter the enemy or some other advantage like walls or the underway.

It's pretty much the same as it was in Rome 2 and Attila.

>>144298698
cheers anon
>>144299060
yeah I ended up giving 20% of them "peasant spears" aka 2 pronged ones.
as for falchion esque, best I could find was another broken polearm so using that.


what I would kill for is to know if I can create a 'dud'item entry which shows up as nothing so not 100% of the units are helmeted

Hmm, the blood knights and company taking out the spearhead of the Chaos invasion has left it without armies once again, since Kemmler could easily sweep up Sigvald and Kholek's armies

Right now I'm building up an army for Mannfred, I've got Kemmler's in Eastern Oblast, one parked in Grunburg for half an eternity, just to make sure KF wouldn't get any funny ideas, one on my north-western border to keep the Norscans out and one on it's way to progress Kemmler's artifact quest

What do I even do now? I'm friends with everyone, the strongest around, and got an economy for 20 armies

FUCKING EUREKA
figured it out, I can now get not 100% of the units wearing helmets

Gonna start a vampire cucks campaign on very hard.

Mannfred or Kemmler?

Kemmler got them sick ethereal starting units but then again, Mannfred's got a varghulf.

So which one would you say is the better one to start with?

>>144299441
kemmler, you unlock manfred after completely taking sylvania

as manfred you wont get kemmler till mid-late game.

>>144299441

Ethereal units are pretty shit desu, especially hex wraiths. But then again so is the varghulf. Pick you poison

>>144299496
Good enough reason for me, I'll do Kemmler then

>>144299441
Mannfred is stronger overall but like most LL's, he's WAY easier to unlock than Kemmler. If you want to have both at one point, I'd grab Kemkem because he's a bitch to unlock

>>144299441

Kemmler is better at the start due to his units, but Mannfred is just flat out better than Kemmler, so while it may be a bit harder at the start, Mannfred is the way to go.

Good job, have you considered not making all the zombies wield weapons? Considering there's no matches attack animations and zombie flailing strangely with their arms would look legit anyways.

2 Varghulf, graveguard and hero spam. But don't fight them, turtle hard, throw zombie armies at them to grind them down with attrition. Thy'll usually chug right for you, they end up in dwarf lands if you can deflect them. Use your main army to pick off isolated armies and to scare them off sieging your castles. You're grinding them down, losing your main army can lead to you being stuck in your castles. Also use your vargeists right when defending, putting them on the wall when the siege towers open with the unit that's already there will break the attackers in no time, then move on to the next, don't waste them on the gate until all infantry is dead on the walls.

I'm playing some custom battles in Third Age: Total War (Divide and Conquer) as Elves to find out how to properly play them
What do I do against giant enemies like trolls or great beasts?

>>144299641
no i haven't but thats a brilliant idea
I'll try making another dud entry but the lowest% I can do is 20% , so 20% would appear 'unarmed'

anyway helmet/non helmet ratio sorted

20% unarmed is more than fine, just a bit more diversity in the unit and zombies to me feel a bit weird when ALL of them carry weapons

How can i defeat empire after Age of peace pop-up? Im playing as VC did all the work with chaos by myself and now empire have all western dwarfs and bretonnia as millitary allies . I have 9 provinces and i can expand north from kislev but it just chore. Greenskins killed dwarfs and are sending troops agents almost non-stop from south. What do ?

>>144300159
Spread corruption and have them deal with vampire rebels.

>>144300159

> did all the work with chaos by myself

This is where you fucked up

>>144300159

Send out agents to corrupt lands, cause rebellions, swoop in and take ruins after the rebellions have done their work. Try to poach some of the empire's millitairy allies. Or try to get the orcs to attack them, camp your armies where the orc stacks come from and watch them just turn around.

>>144287228
rollin

>>144299752
Get fucked bastard.

>>144300159
They should start warring with eachother soon after age of peace(at least it says so in the pop-up).

alright anon after testing wiith 'unarmed' you'd be suprised how many underarm lunging punches are done so I may have to revert it for personal taste. however here is a link to the version with 20% unarmed. though
