I'm guessing you either don't like the Horde mechanics, or you just don't like how you need to constantly be sacking or you'll go bankrupt? Or perhaps the "horde infighting" thing?

>>144323141

Still the strongest 1vs1 lord there is.

>>144323467

Problably some combination of the fightiness mechanic from orcs with the offices from empire. Like generals want to be rewarded, but if you don't reward them enough they will betray you instead.

>>144323554

Horde mechanics aren't bad, but the campaign itself turns into a clusterfuck. The AI start sending ganksquads after you, and because of march stance they will basically never ever get caught.

For me, the chaos campaign highlights all the annoying things in TWWH.

WEAK NORSCA SCUM, GET RUN DOWN

>>144323554
Hordes kinda lame but honestly they don't feel like chaos

The army is all about powerful but relatively low numbers infantry and it's not the case in the game, and because of the direct upgrades you don't really spend long with chaos warriors themselves who are the iconic unit of the army

Hell I don't think you could make them work in total war as larger infantry groups will always be at an advantage for being able to wrap around smaller units

Horde mechanics are annoying and mean you pretty much have to sink all your skill points into Chaos Tribes right off the bat, but at least Archaon gets a bonus to sacking. Infighting is the worst though.

its coming along quite nicely

HOWEVER, cant seem to edit banshees at all which is a shame as I was hoping to blend them with maidens.

other hiccups include similiar things with vampire girls and ghostly units in general do not enjoy unghostly things on them.

that said and done, its almost finito just gotta make the wight king the most baller then i'll upload it.

>>144323914

I remove all penalties from difficulty, like public order penalties and the bunch. I also got rid of great power because fuck that. You still have aversion penalty from different races.
All in all it makes the game much more fun.

>>144323914
The elector count of Nordland considers Marienburg to be his property, even though the people of that city have promised to put him to death if he ever enters the walls. His ass will always be pained while you hold it.

>>144323706
I don't really like Horde mechanics. I like having settlements and building them up. Just miss having a 'normal' economy and having to, yeah, rely entirely on sacking for it.

Just something I've always enjoyed. Heck, I do kinda miss roads but that's just because I really like the whole building/upgrading thing.

But I get roads are kind of not a thing to consider in this game.

>>144324089
Yeah, you already get lots of public order issues on goblins if you keep expanding with waaghs

But that makes sense because greenskins are all about the strongest ruling so I just see them as challenges to my rule

Also, can you edit the Bretonnian trebuchets to fire the Hellcannon's projectile? Like, fluff it to shooting the literal skulls of the damned at the enemy, Mordor-style. I don't know, but it feels like that'd be how the Vampire Counts would ever do artillery.

Tomb Kangz already do that.

>>144324097
do you know somwhere i could read up on how to mod? it seems pretty cool and i have some ideas i would like to implement in the game.

>>144323983
I feel like infighting shouldn't be a problem. Each lord is on their own quest for the gods, with their own chosen warband, and they should have little to do with each other except in super climactic crescendos of ultraviolence.

But it doesn't really pan out like it really should because the inch-thick plate armor of chaos warriors is no harder in game than the millimeter and a half thick plate of greatswords, or the tit dress a vampire wears. If chaos really was as overpowered as it should be, they'd operate better in those outnumbered situations.

>>144323467
Biggest problem I see right now with Skaven, Wood elves etc. is that the map is too small right now. I really hope they will do map rework when expansion comes out but seeing some kind of underworld map for Skaven would be cool too, kinda like Age of Wonders style.

>>144324209
>The elector count of Nordland considers Marienburg to be his property, even though the people of that city have promised to put him to death if he ever enters the walls

How is it his property then?

>>144324625

It's a mechanic to make sure you don't double-tag every city and autoresolve.

And it works out in terms of lore too. Just look at 4chan, we all have our own lives and goals, and we shitpost all day erry day.

What if the types of undead you recruited were based on what province you are in? For example, recruiting skeletons and zombies in Bretonian lands were give Bretonian units like this Anon is making. Recruiting in Kislev would give undead versions of the eventual Kislev roster, and so on

They could be the same stat-wise, but it would look really cool.

How prominently is Tzeentch depicted?

>>144324961

Everyone neighbouring you is tiny and weak initially. You can get a good 3-4 provinces without any kind of serious opposition. Not sure how you fucked up there. With that and an emphasis on economy you can field several full stacks and then just stomp everything. At about this time in my game chaos invaded and suddenly everyone is appealing to me to join alliances and after defeating Chaos I could confederate most of them. After that it's just dealing with annoying Chaos vikings and cleaning up the vampires.

It depends. I have a Vampire that's built just to Spirit Leach enemy lords to death. Sure, flying mounts are better for kiting, but even a horse is better than doing it one foot.

"modding" in total war is literally just glueing models and animations together, then editing the unit stats. It is really simple, thats why there are so many retarded mods.

>>144328834
but is it possible to create abilities for units?

>>144328825
Shit that's cool. Got any pics of the Knights?

>>144328825
Just thought of a way to implement them mod-san
Don't know if you thought about it, but perhaps the way to get them recruited by Mousillon is create a building chain for Mousillon and have these Bretonnian undead be new units with slightly adjusted stats to reflect Bretonnia

Any sense in using the Orcish cav? I'm seriously considering just two units of the Goblin Wolf Riders to chase of Archers or lock down siege engines, both the Big Un Riders and the Savage version have pitiful weapon strength and attack values.

So "armory" buildings and buildings that produce units that require "armory" buildings don't need to be in the same settlement right? Just the same province?

You can't fight the enemy stack to stack. Give your legendary lord your best troops, and back him up with another lord that just has a whole stack of zombies if possible.

Magic is mostly useless: spirit leech, Bjuna, and Raise Dead are your only good spells.

Moshpits are your best friend, as long as you aren't the one getting moshed, and having all your terror units together means a chain rout is coming sooner rather than later.

You need to bumrush kislev faster than that. Sack, awaken and vassalize on the same turn, and build your forces to meet the kislev full stack that will beeline straight for your new ally. Once you kill kislev's army, his first castle is ripe for sacking, sack once and then raze, then immediately run back up to defend bearsonling from the varg and dwarves.

They act as a form of dog tags for Bretonnians. Each soldier carves their name into the crow and they are retrieved after each battle.

Ranged battles would not work in 40k, just like diplomacy or building managment with some races

+ what would be the map?
+40k is about squad skirmishes, that's why DoW is better at making 40k games than total war

>>144340137
1.) It won't fucking work.
2.) Enough with the fantasy shit

40k isn't about squad based battles you dumb fuck its about giant METAL AS FUCK clashes between armies.

Fuck off and die senpai, 40K isn't Dawn of War 2.

You guys dont know SHIT about 40k lore

19th century Empire 2 is as far as I'm willing to go. The world wars are not going to work in TW, period.

sivgald's an exile not a norscan

>>144340361
thats boring

>>144340595
40k will be retarded just napoopen with automatic weapons.

>>144340595
Stop pretending dude.

>>144340424
Each skirmish is a tiny fraction of a planetwide conflict, often with orbiting fleets tearing each other to shred at the same time.

40k would work with total war because of 40Ks presence of melee units.

Tyranids play like vampire counts
Tau play like dwarves except shit melee
Imperial guard plays like the Empire
Chaos plays like Chaos
Orks play like Orks
Necros will play like dwarves (decent melee)
Eldar play like high elves
Space marines play like bretonnians (cavalry focus)

>people don't think playing the hitler campaign is a fun idea

It's never going to happen. It's just the truth.

I love 40k but you are so full of shit it would never work. For so many reasons.

>>144328041

horses make it possible to 1v1 foot heroes without taking damage, just keep cycle charging them

Trying this hard to bait plz stop.

>>144340837
40k is more of a fit to something like Supreme commander than total war

He's a norscan, where did you get that he was an exile?

Dear god, are the AI mildly retarded?

>Glorious empire
>Have military alliances with two provinces, at war with the rest
>Dumbass ally decides to declare war on the orcs

No, no I will not you stupid fuck. We already have five people we're at war with, and you want the goddamn greenskins in on it too?

Welcome to TWW.

This game has little to no replayability once you try out all the factions.

not a single person has told me why 40K can't work aparat from "NUH UH IT WONT WORK", warhammer fantasys fantastic transition into reality shows that 40k can also be made to work very easily
