alright so capes , I'm currently playing with %numbers but what do people think of the following as I want some outside opinion
should graveguard/black knights have some capes/wooly shawls in a unit??


also picture is wip and ratios of capes/noncapes /everything might change

>>144481358
Just watch out for the chaos chariot, one isn't bad but it can still roflstomp its way right through your spearmen and straight into crossbows. Later stacks will bring four or five of those motherfuckers and they don't die to crossbow bolts.

Honestly think the capes should be reserved for leaders/wight king models a la Karl Franz style

I hope you all arent min-maxing all your armies.

I've got 3 armies so far in my empire play

reiksmarshall's army
>6 reiksguard, 2 handgunners, 2 mortars, 5 halberd, 4 swordsmen

Castellan-engineer army
>6handgunners, 6 halberds, 2 steamtanks, 2 hellblaster, 3 outriders
>use pike and shot tactics

Franz army
>4 greatswords, 4 halberds, 3 handgunners, 2 demigryph, 2 hellblasters, 2 swordsmen, 1 warrior priest, 1 bright wizard

>>144483521
Grimgor's only got one eye?

If they made each of the higher level troops progressively more expensive the more you have of the same type wouldn't that fix a lot of the balance problems in this game and encourage unit diversity? Gryphs would be prohibitively expensive after x number and no more panzer divisions. Seems simple enough.

The reason I'm so thrilled about this is because I've been ravaged by 4 stacks of Vamp Cunts while most of my money is being spent on armies in the south, cleaning up the orcs.
The vamps razed a shit ton of my land in the northern mountains; and Rugni here finally was able to intervene and took out all four armies within one turn, including their generals.

Also it was my first time seeing the undead implode after having their generals killed, so that was pretty fucking awesome.

The game actually says anything horse size or larger. In practice, that's anything mounted or monstrous, including chariots. Dunno about steam tanks. Orc infantry doesn't count as large even if they're big, and foot slogging lords don't either afaik. Birdman does.

>>144486361
Pretend you're a horde, protect black crag, and just go make war. Don't even worry too much about settlements until you've got your waaaghs going, just make sure your income is positive and go beat the shit out of armies for loot and sack when you can. Eventually someone's gonna confederate because you either beat the shit out of them or someone else has weakened them. Stay in your zone and kill everything you see, and if nothing's around, go sack the nearest thing.

>>144485138
It's great because it gets reapplied as long as your unit is in combat. It gives a short debuff to enemy stats, and tires them out much faster than they would normally. Biggest problem is that most of the units with it are garbage, except for crypt horrors which will just fuck shit up in melee and make everyone exhausted fighting them.

And exhaustion is a big hidden debuff to combat skills/speed, so yeah. Poison is good if you can keep it up.

Wow, fate of bjuna is fucking good. Vampire waifus and their death magic are fucking great. Solid area debuff, lord killer, elite unit killer, half decent in melee and they can regenerate.

Why are the garrisons so pathetic? Even the level 3 "small" cities don't stand a chance unless you get the garrison building to level 2 for walls. What is even the point

>>144485153
I had a runesmith that became linchpin...and then something else after that. Names definitely change based on deeds, which is cool.

>>144487352
Because it crashed on nearly every occasion, many things dont even work.
All of the more advanced skaven units cause crashes, Ogres cause crashes, I think large units in general increase the risk.
It happens way too often, If I have a 40+ min siege and it fucking crashed midway then im done for the day.

Another big thing are the unit rosters, wood elves have maybe 10 units (which fucking crash the game) and Empire has like 40+, many factions have only very little amount of units.

Arty already scales with unit size and is really strong, we've been over this a lot already.

Because the small cities look like this

Once the province is maxed out you replace the growth building with a public order building or a building to reduce corruption.

Luminark need to do more damage on higher unit sizes because monster hp scales with with size. Steam tank isn't even really artillery, they are strongest in melee where they benefit from having more hp at higher unit sizes.

>>144488557
I've almost completed two campaigns and still not 1 defensive siege battle.

Why is the AI so cowardly?

>arachnorok spiders are 5 points slower than boar boy cavalry

Is there any point to boar boyz after arachnoroks at all? I'm considering phasing them out entirely unless someone can find me the situation where an arachnorok couldn't do what a boar boy could

>>144481346
I haven't had time to get some crypt horrors from my main military province. Got too much to deal with, spreading vampiric corruption and having shit public order all around, and now the Top Knotz and Greenskins joined a Dwarfen Hold in a war against me.

I do miss my global recruitment from the other factions.

Chasing down routers, but you'd want goblin wolf riders for that anyways. The other thing is upkeep.
>>144489029
I take four crypt horrors in my elite stacks, they're really fucking good. A solid start to the campaign is gobbling up Sylvania and then turtling with one stack, western Sylvania is for recruiting forest chain, eastern Sylvania for mausoleum and cairn chain. Alternatively you can put it all in western Sylvania, but it's up to you. Worry about balefire until after you're set up.

>>144489523

Why not put it all in eastern? There's literally no benefit to splitting it up like that.

>>144489010
I don't think that Arachnaroks are quite as good at causing routes. If a Boar Boy slams into the back of a unit they take a ton of leadership damage, since Boar Boyz are shock cavalry.

They're also way cheaper, but I agree that Spiders are much better.

>>144489659
There is, Western gets a special building that gives forest chain recruits, like, +4 levels and makes them cheaper but it makes it hard to squeeze in an armoury.

In what situation would you want goblins over boyz?

I feel they could do with a bit of a speed buff, they're already a bit faster than boyz but it isn't particularly noticable.

Would allow them to flank a bit better or chase down fleeing units, which is all i really use them for. Their animations while chasing and killing are hilarious.

I do like using vanguard night goblins for rear charges and that poison debuff. but they feel like a bit of a waste.

Trying to emulate scrappy anon who won campaign with (mostly) gobboz but having a hard time of it

>>144489815
With leadership bonus for AI on very hard I find it kinda impossible with basic units. And I don't live long enough to get anything better than boys

>>144489815
If you're playing on legendary it's near impossible to get chain routs going when you're outnumbered

>>144489975
change battle difficulty, they balance the unit stats with normal-hard battle diff in mind

>>144489964
Normal goblins are pretty good in situations where you need a unit that scores 3 kills, loses 20 gobbos and routs

>>144489964
the little waagh has its place, the poison is good because exhausted stunties die faster, and you do not win long battles against stunties. And spider riders are great for disruption and artillery takedowns.

The ONE game that seems to have a consensus of GIVE US DLC: reskins, units, lords, heroes, captains, standard bearers, factions. Anything.

And they've been a bit vague on it all.

I'd like some clarification on whether there are actual plans to include more factions in this game or whether those are going to be saved for the two expansions. I'm thinking we may just get bretonnia and they'll sell us a fleshed out kislev, tilea, estalia and expand a bit of the rosters for the others.

Do you think an all-dog army would break too quickly?

All zombies really doesn't work. And since we know that all-gobboz armies actually do work to some extent, I'm thinking of other silly things to do.

Planning on skipping chaos tree all together and just using the chaos spawn you get along with forsaken and chaos spawn from the tree I am rushing.

Also with Sigvald so I get the hell canon. What could go wrong?

So what factions are you expecting next? Other than Bretonnia that is.

Skaven already have events and skavenblight is on the map. So they are a given.
Wood elves are also on the map.
Tomb Kings are almost on the map. Just need to extend and detail the south a bit.
Beastmen would be annoying to add, but I imagine you could just slap a horde down in the middle somewhere.

The rest I'm not so sure when or how they will do it. I think they'll end up making expansion for the other continents with factions on them like the expansions they made for Rome 2 and Attila.

I would prefer something like Empire though where they incorporate the different continents into the main campaign.

Skaven would be nice. I can't imagine how theyd implement them in the campaign map though. You'd think they'd be able to use the underway.

I don't think we'll see new factions until we get some of the minor factions fleshed out.

Wood elves would be in before skaven I 'd think.

>>144494491
I remember hearing something about how CA isn't allowing big overhaul mods for Warhammer because it violates the trademark agreement they have to use all the Warhammer stuff?

>>144494549
The easy route is that they slap a city in the swamp and then let Skaven take Orc and Dwarf settlements. That would be really lazy though.

The more interesting approach would be to have Skaven inhabiting cities under the map somehow.

Wood elves should be pretty easy. I mean they have a big dirty forest that you can't get into on the map.

I've never played as the Empire, so I need to ask if the minor imperial state factions can build wizards? What buildings do they require? I think I've seen Tilea with a wizard once.

>>144494801
Why and how elves would take cities.

I'm expecting to see a Lizardmen x Skaven, High Elf x Dark Elf, Wood Elf x Beastmen and some minor factions.

>>144495238
If you're the empire, you're gonna have to purge 'em all eventually. Their bullshit economy can support six stacks each.

Man, the Greenskins and the Dwarfs got a pretty damn easy start compared to Vampire Cunts and Empire.

Where are they going to put more cities for Wood Elves and Beastmen on the map? Unless Beastmen are a horde and Wood elves can only start with the one and have no minor factions

Do you think they'd expand and stretch out the continent to make room for more?

An underworld map would be tedious and further division of the map aint fun IMO.
I could imagine a secondary skaven co-habitation for regular cities, or they'd probably just add in a corruption-like mechanic.

Stop aiming for single targets then.

>>144495637
ah, then just try the mannghulf strategy, and see if you don't mark down VC as an easy start. it should be the easiest by far, espcially considering the 3-way between skulls, dwarves, and knotz as greenskins.

Battle difficulty doesn't affect achievments.

>>144495883
Apparently it's damages is balanced for normal unit size. A lot of the magic is broken like that. At least most seige weapon gain more cannons or whatever.

Should the next historical TW title have single-man units that specialize in certain things?

If so, what should they be?

Now THATS a dragon, I wanna fight that with an army

>>144496117
If the next historical total war is Medieval 3, I could see their being lords, and nobles and prinnces and shit having roles like the thane, both an overworld agent and skilled combatant in the battle

if the next historical total war is Empire 2, I can't really think of anything that a single man unit could be

>>144495924
Im blind , please spoonfeed me where in variants anon

>>144495992
I also find vc an easier start due to everyone having shit troops right away and vamps excel at shit troops

>>144496117
The only thing of that nature I could see is a general being by themselves, but that would be kind of silly.

>>144496248
Even the best fighters can't face down a company without backup. Its fine in Warhammer because its Warhammer but in a historical game trying to keep some semblance of realism it would be retarded.

>>144496262
that's a good point. when you throw away a shitbunch of troops you can also resurrect some higher-tier units early on. you really don't have any danger of being actually being defeated.

>>144496262
Its cause they all cause fear, makes empire spearmen route at like 60% men.

>>144496217
Why can't vc charm demigryphs yet? They are vampires

>>144496363
I agree. Maybe in battle they would get attached to larger units as officers and that's the only way they could be used.

Even then I don't see how single combatants would work Empire 2. Generals maybe? But having them with a general staff works

>>144495979

so you're telling me, that a siege weapon with a 1050 damage missile and nosplashdamage is best aimed at some fucking goblin?

This is correct of course but you could just make it so that each hero/agent gets their own retinue in battles or let them be attached to units in battles

you the real mvp anon

i really dont want to have to ask something again so soon, but whenever i modify files in the assembly kit and exit, it says i need to submit them or no users can use the changes. And then when i re open the assembly kit it wont connect after i don't submit the changes, how do i submit them?

>>144493507

Happens every game.

Every single fucking game. Archaon ignores the AI and goes straight for you, while Norscans are the faggots to who raze and destroy everything else.

>>144496474
If you really want to kill that goblin.

>>144496481
That would be cool, in fact I want Warhammer to have this so generals have a command squad with banners and shit and Witch-hunters have acolytes and Priests have fanatics.

>>144496248
Sharpe and Harper

>>144494238
retard. you are suppose to use zombies just to tie up every unit then use a key unit to flank and wipe them out; ghouls are good for this. Usually you can just swamp their entire battle line then send bats on their missiles and start a route.

>>144496481
I'd like to be able to attach certain heroes in warhammer to units. Hope it gets added

>>144496587
even then though guys like Sharpe would be at the head of a team of skirmishers

>>144496697

And so the hero stands ready to battle against the evil, barbaric orc.

>>144496758
It's a dangerous mission that requires him to do something alone.

>>144496758
ehhh that would just feel weird though mang. The only context I could see that working with is making him an agent in the overworld

Can someone please make a AI mods that makes it build garrisons at every settlement, AND buff the units added? I'm getting real tired of seeing the AI getting roflstomped by everything.
