Mannfred von Carstein

Karl Franz
Kholek Suneater
Azhag the Slaughterer

Archaon the Everchosen
Grimgor Ironhide
Ungrim Ironfist

>When Archaon finally completed his centuries long odyssey throughout the dark places of the world and was crowned Lord of the End Times, he immediately began work to add the remaining Northern tribes who had not yet pledged themselves to his apocalyptic banner to his vast armies.

>Within a short time, he had succeeded in bringing every last tribe, clan or warrior-band that had ever vied for control of the tainted Northlands under his iron-fisted rule. Bloodthirsty Aeslings and barbaric Baersonlings, wily Skaelings and sea-faring Sarls, twisted Vargs, savage Graelings and berserker Bjornlings and a thousand other hard-hearted Norse tribes aside, all did answer the Everchosen's call.

>>
>>144523516
I was kinda hoping the esl tournament would highlight how terribly MP is balanced

CA can't exactly pretend they're not aware of it now, though they can still choose to give vs. players the shaft anyway
>>
My current Karl Franz army consists of:
1 Karl Franz, 1 Wizard (he's pretty shit desu), 4 Reiksguard, 3 Mortars, 3 Crossbows, 2 Halberds (in case of monsters) and 6 Greatswords

Is this good in your opinion? Should I replace all Reiksguard with Demigryphs? I will soon be able to recruit them
Should I get rid of the wizard? He's the one the game gave me at the start he's just not that good
>>
>>144523721
replace reiksguard with demis. Instead of Wizard I'd use a veteran and put him with your frontline. At high levels his leadership bonus makes your frontline almost never route which is more valuable than one unit in my opinion.
>>
>>144523721
Sounds fairly solid to me, but you might as well replace the halberds with Demigryph halberds, and also the rest of your army with demigryphs and put Karl on deathclaw

seriously though that army sounds fine
>>
>>144523684
Yeah but balancing around mp would make sp way less fun
>>
>>144523721
Once Karl picks up a ring of fireballs, that wizard is nothing but dead weight.

Reiksguard I find are just fine for the role, you don't need to replace with demis unless you like overkill and have the economy to support that fetish.
>>
>>144523721
Demigryphs are clutch.
But reiksguard are good enough.
Also get steam tanks.
Wizard is fine.
>>
Replace one mortar with rockets. Also, keep two reiksguard for flavour, don't be a boring min-maxer. I'd keep the wizard because I like the buffs, but you could replace him with a steam tank or hero.
>>
>>144523721

Yes to the Demigryphs, and yes to get rid of the Wizard. Finished my Hard Empire campaign the other day and realized that I never used any heroes beyond Warrior Priests for the replenishment and reduction to Vampire and Chaos shits.
>>
>>144524041
Light wizards are good

Their spell to stop the enemy from moving is great
>>
>>144523895
>>144523684
Whenever I've seen people play multiplayer and stream it (Not high level, shit like Darren vs Legend or shit) they always agree on basic rules like "no X" or "only two Y" or shit like that.

No, scrub thinking is picking whatever is most broken and stuffing your army full of that and expecting easy wins.
>>
>>144524091
I've heard people say rockets are shit but honestly if you don't get enjoyment out of sticking as many rocket squads into your army as you can get away with you're a sad person, it might not be very efficient or effective to have 4 or 6 rocket dudes but shit, if you're Empire you're probably going to reach a point in the campaign where you can build armies out of whatever the fuck you want and get away with it

Quick question if anyone can help. I heard that different provinces are better for raising specific units and some are better for making money. My question is how can you tell? For example what provinces makes money for empire or which one has bonuses to siege barracks?

If it has a special resource like iron or lumber, you might be able to also build a purple chain building that gives units recruitment bonuses. For example an iron province giving black orcs +3 ranks and -20% recruitment.

demigryph nerf fucking when? find enemy stationary demigryphs in the forest, he was trying to charge me suddenly, charge him with my chaos lances, poison doggies and great weapon marauders

demigryphs with halberds kill them all, what the fuck, they were stationary, they didnt even get a charge and they still kill chaos lances, posion dogs AND marauders with great axes

Lancers cost 1600, Demis 1400 explain this shit to me? you are damn right I am mad

and dont even get me started on the fact that empire spearmen cost only 300, you know what other unit costs 300? gobbos
>>
>>144523721
I would use cannons instead of the mortar since its easier to fire and extremely devastating close range.

However most of games are in slow motion once fighting commences so if you play normal you maybe wont have time to fire yourself.

Grimgor is a beast in emlee so I was extremely worried when my level 25 mannfred was gonna go up against him but I noticed somethiing. sure he'll kill your whole army if you let him but instead of killing grimgor just get him to rout and it's over. Grimgor only got 54 kills against me and since my whole army is causing fear and mannfred was spamming leadership debuffs Grimgor routed very early and his whole army followed

The worst thing about the Dwarfs he added is that the polearms don't even look Dwarfen.

The blade looks like a rusty glaive and the shaft is made of undecorated wood with random spikes coming out of it.

I won with a dwarf garrison against a chaos stack, I positioned the cannon right infront of the gate with 2 miners on the side and the rest of the units to defend the wall.

Miners stopped the enemy at the gate while I manually shot into the blob with the cannon over and over again.
>>
>>144525847
I know the battering ram is nigh useless, but the fact that I'm biting down the gates is ridiculous. Couldn't they implement some kind of armor value onto the gate to make this less viable?

What now? I'm still at war with the Skaelings and Varg, but about half the world is my vassal. Do I just try to stabilize my stuff and then go after the Norsca in their own lands? Can I just raze all Chaos settlements and not have to deal with Archaon ever again?

Also, it was really easy to get vassals once Archaon showed up.

As someone who plays VC exclusively on legendary, let me give you some advice.

You'll never be able to expand aggressively as the counts, because you cannot hold onto land without sufficiently corrupting it first. You will get massive public backlash and have rebellions every other turn.

Your economy also has a huge ramp up time as VC, and you need to make sure you keep what you have, because building up the VC economy is both expensive and time consuming.

>>
>>144527319
Not him but the problem is their range sucks and they need line of sight.

So you need something to tarpit the monsters while the trollhammers do their work (and considering their cost, they take a while to kill Giants).

Plus, if the enemy has flying units, they can just land right on your Trollhammers and take them out the fight.

They are quite effective in the right conditions though.

that's not how it works. arachnarok costs 2k. Slayers are 1100, slayers are STATED as being the hard-counter unit for large, monstrous units. These slayers aren't even doing the 50% damage they should be doing to be remotely balanced to the arachnarok in terms of cost. 5-15% of the arachnarok's life over the course of the battle during which other shit is happening. In your twenty stack the arachnarok costs 1 slot, you need like 5 slots of slayers to beat one.

That's a pretty strawman argument. Slayers are an elite tier 3 specialised unit while Spearmen are tier 1 line infantry.

Here's the same test with Hammerers by the way. The Hammerers didn't get a charge (and are often considered the weakest tier 3 AP unit of the 5 factions). Judge for yourself.
>>
>>144529363
how many slayers does it take to kill an arachnarok?
maybe you're supposed to flank the arachnarok with slayers or sometyhing so they can do double the 5% damage they do over the course of their life time for a whopping 10% contribution to the arachnarok kill :)
>>
>>144529363

From what I saw, it's the spiders AOE attacks will always one shot them since they have no armor and mediocre melee defense. That coupled with the low unit size for Slayers means they lose ground very quickly. While some Hammerers always got up from the Spider's attacks.

>>144529526
You didn't test this properly as Azhag has some kills on the slayers so both lords were in buff range.

Never really played multiplayer in total wars aside from co op campaign with friends.

Have the other total wars had their multiplayer updated at all after release? Would like to see some expanded options. This game seems pretty damn fun for it with all the unit variety. Fuck spell cheesers though.

This is my unbuffed test. Their lord stomped on mine because I didn't aura but the auras weren't in range anyways, I didn't want to risk it, microing slayers to completely surround the arachnarok makes them ALMOST go one for one, so if you park a slayer squad in the rear of an arachnarok they can actually be like 75% as cost efficient as they should against arachnaroks but that simply isn't possible in a real game with other orcs fighting alongside the spider so it doesn't matter. Slayers are garbo

As you wish senpai.

I get the feeling the reason they lose so hard versus the Spider is that the poison ruins their melee defense and they have no armor piercing to get through it's defenses.

Maybe the solution is as simple as giving them more AP damage and less base damage.

>>144529363
Yeah true, to be honest, I looked at the slayers when I started this Dwarf campaign yesterday cos obviously 1/2 of the faction leader dudes is the slayer guy, I didn't pick him because they look fucking shit. I WISH they were good, because they seem cool, but they don't appear to have any way of not dying. I mean, I get they're Slayers and all and that's sort of their point, but fuck, they should have twice as much melee defense or attack, or 50% resistance to projectiles, or as much charge bonus as a cavalry unit, or SOMETHING. If they're going to die so easily they should be able to destroy enemies super quickly too. That seems to be what they're supposed to be like, but I just don't see them doing a terrific job with those stats except against pretty specific things, but you might as well just take something else.
>>
>>144527841

Like another anon said, I don't ever bash a unit unless I'd used it a lot and figured out it was just shit.

The Giant routed at around 10-15% health.

This is on large settings so despite being at around 15% themselves, the Slayers still have around 40% of their manpower so they might have been a bit lucky.

The Spider has 150 (!) armour so it does make sense the Slayers can't hurt it if they don't have a lot of AP even with anti-large.

I think slayers are super-bad. No good player lets their large units fight alone and unprotected. There's always big uns or black orcs or vargheists/ulfs/ians/whatevers around the feet so it can't get surrounded. Slayers are just a completely useless unit in that realistic scenario

It really isn't as simple as that. Agents get % bonus to succeed and % bonus to defend against actions with every level. Because the AI just levels its agents and lords for free basically every turn they're alive, you will always be outstripped even if you dump your entire economy into successful agent actions every turn, and eventually reach a critical point where their agents are just destroying yours and you have no arms to retaliate with.

Spider ended up making a beeline for the Lord, so at first it was the Grumblers fighting the Orc Warboss and the Dwarf Lord the Spider.

Got that sorted out eventually, Cannon wasn't set up ideally because the Dwarf Cannon cannot angle at all and is easily obstructed so not all were firing the whole time.

Spider routed two times. Dwarfs have the cheaper setup here.

if anyone knows how on earth you can force the weapons to belong to one (sub) faction thatd be neat if you can post it here or link .

Yeah, I tried around 5 times but this is really hard to test fairly as you can't bait the enemy lord away when they are under threat from Artillery so they interefere way too much.

This is some fucked up shit, turn 7 and I'm still not done with the Reikland because the Rebel fucking shits moved their stack against the Orcs where I couldn't reach them. Then they trespassed into Wissenland only to come back, aiming for Grunburg.

Also, ORCS.

Just did this with Thunderers, both lords out of range and doing nothing for the entire fight. Picture is when the spider reaches the Thunderers line.

Thunderers were firing at around 100 range while the Spider was tarpitted and did miss quite a few shots. At 50 range, I'm fairly sure the spider would be dead. It did take the Spider around 2 minutes to rout the Warriors though.

This shit is sillier than warhammer
Camels chasing down people who fight with slings

Also warhammer is like the worst possible thing to play before Attila, you go from simple starts where the first war is obvious to trying to erase Judaism in order to stop rebellions
>>
>>144531507
They never have been a top-tier unit either but they raped whatever unit they went in combat with, mostly because of attacking with full manpower, even if going last/being charged, and double weapons

they fall like flies against projectiles tho

also, keep in mind that in the tabletop, there is no such a thing as 4000HP giants, most monster models have around 4-8 wounds (and every attack you connect, has a 1/6th chance to always deal a wound, except for additional saves)
>>
>>144534813
Make their cav cheaper. Every cav unit doesn't need to be way stronger. There just need to be more of them.

Decided to see how slayers fair against missile damage (they fall pretty quick fyi)

Took some pics. Goddam game is beautiful. Didn't really realize til i turned the graphics up high and started zooming in close. The visuals just aren't optimized for the kind of view you use to play regularly

Slayers have like 5 different jumping attack animations and another 2 or 3 grounded ones. Gotta appreciate the work put in there. Shame all their models look so samey and they're prone to beard clipping. dem abs tho

I didn't believe you guys that Greatswords were amazing because the first time I tried them it was in a losing campaign and they got wrecked by three Vampire stacks swarming everything, and I was losing the campaign badly at that point so I abandoned it and played as dorfs

But now I played Empire again and holy shit these guys are better than Ironbreakers, they routinely get 100+ kills in a fight

Should always have one caster, as EMpire Light is your best bet. The spells from lore of Light are incredible. It has a root, 2 crazy attack and speed buffs, a damage spell which doesn't suck, and can make units unbreakable.

This tbqh, Attila is the best campaign and pseudo-grand strategy of the series while Rome and Warhammer are the most fun because of how arcadey the fights are. They could try to mix both but I'm sure CA would think it's too silly to have such a dark campaign with cutaways to wacky fights where mulleted Blacks with red tabards on horses play bowling with all the wyte bois or Jewish battle lines part armies better than Moses parted the Red Sea.

I was messing around with my Jew campaign yesterday. Pic related is me making a frontier settlement to keep watch on the goyim while spending a good chunk of my money propping up the Roman Empires, and the Jew campaign seems very similar to VC. You expand relatively slowly, more in explosive bursts with long pauses, and your agent-fu has to be on-point because they do most of the work while your armies are just to clean up the rest.
>>
The game told me I can't have more than one agent in an army at the start

But now I see Ostland has a bright wizard, a light wizard and 2 captains (besides the lord) in one army

It's the harder way to go, but the more rewarding. As soon as you vassalize one tribe, every nation within a thousand mile radius is going to send all their standing forces directly to your location.

Your job is to destroy them all, then go sack their fortresses quickly before they recover.

>>144549121
The towers reach the entire battlefield in front of them. This has been known for a long time. If you want to counter this you concentrate your artillery and siege towers so that they're only inside the firing arc of one tower. Then you can take out that tower by assaulting the wall, massing artillery against it, or just using a few siege towers to soak up fire. The siege towers still block tower fire after being destroyed btw.

Thing is those stacks die easy to auto-resolve against. But who in their right mind would fight a battle against 20 mounted chaos units, most of the ranged.
>>
>>144550167
I haven't tried Bretonnia, but can't you use those two to execute a really good hammer and hammer maneuver? Or do the Pegasus Knights not have a good enough charge bonus?
>>
>>144549905
what units do?
longbeards when braced go flying
dwarf warriors too
literally the only unit that doesn't have its ranks break like a twig to a cavalry charge is ironbreakers
>>
>>144550470
I have yet to see Pegasus Knights not get absolutely slaughtered by whatever they try to kill. Just a reminder, in the battle staged by CA between VC and Bretonnia, 2 units of bats murdered 1 unit of Pegasi.
>>
>>144550416
Download the realistic autoresolve mod, and brace your anus.

For some reason, CA decided to give the outnumbering force in battles an exponentially increasing bonus in autoresolve the more you outnumber them by. Which leads to varg and skaeling stacks being very underwhelming to autoresolve against, and for most campaign battles to be autoresolve washouts instead of closer to the expected result.

If you aren't a pussy, you fight the stack and lose your mind watching 6 chaos chariots run right over your braced spear line and into your crossbows while the marauders run mad all over your flanks.

Didn't VC also cast Fate of Bjuna on them? And I seem to remember a Terrorgheist, unless you're thinking of another battle.

Bretonnia needs grail unicorn heavy cavalry.

Only the most pure grail knights can ride them. the fry enchantresses unicorn hits as hard as a grail knight, but add barding, magic defenses and better ward saves to make truly frightening shock cavalry, also maybe add some thematic things like immune to poison and causes extra damage to undead or demons, and can shoot rainbows out of butts and you've got the perfect monstrous cav unit for brets.

Yes, the problem is CA is staffed by incompetent retards and didn't scale monster's damage/aoe of attacks with unit size, same with magic and artillery. This means the higher the unit sizes the shittier they become. How the fuck those lazy fucking hacks didn't notice is beyond me.

When did one retreat allowed stop being a mechanic? I've chased this varg stack 3 times this turn, first he retreated, then I smashed him and he retreated, then I smashed him again, and he's slipped away. I can still catch him, but only because literally all of Karl's retainers are +campaign movement.

I can fucking guarantee if I retreat once and lose a battle on the same turn, everyone in that army will be executed in the post battle screen.

I feel like that elite Greatsword unit probably contributed more. I've seen elite Greatswords together with a lord with proper aura buffs absolutely fucking rape anything that comes close, he must have built a block phalanx with just Greatswords and kept holding the line with Franz while the Demigryphs rode circles around the enemy frontline charging into their backs while the grenadiers bombed chunks of enemies.

Still, I don't get how he could survive that many enemies. It's possible to allow high level units to deal with 2 mid-level units at once when they have high moral with proper aura effects. But here he was outnumbered 3 to 1 and if you get swarmed there is nothing you can do, your lines just break through sheer force.

Also have to take into account that Waaghs tend to employ a fuckton of goblins, and goblins break at the sight of tanks basically. As well as demigryphs just make them scatter like an open bag of leaves.

Same army, attacking the same enemy stack. He got his standard retreat, then I engaged again and got decisive victory, and the remainder fell back again. I went in for the final blow, routed everything, and he got to retreat yet again. I'm fighting the third battle against the same stack this turn now.

I am pretty sure that I am right, I've seen it in Attila, you rout them once, and if the second time you kill the general than instead of disbanding they run away again

yep he did, and that is a really powerful spell it leaves demigryph riders with about 20-30% health left, so dismissing the unit as shit just from that vid alone is probably wrong

I've never had that happen.
It's a maximum of two battles per turn, including the enemy attack if it happens.
So defend>attack, attack>attack or retreat>attack will always result in a wipe if all are victories.
then the only answer is that your game is bugged

why exactly would the game classify this as a "pyrrhic" victory? Losing only 500 men in an engagement where you are outnumbered 3 to 1 seems like a pretty efficient use of troops.
>>
>>144557707
Maybe more than one army.

That depends entirely on the unit in question and your army composition.

Three armies minimum. I did it as Archaon with 2 stacks, but that was being chaos so no attrition, and being able to vassalize conquered tribes so their stacks would help me.

If you're not chaos and you want those shitters gone, you need to go full crusade.
>>
>>144557783
Look up what pyrrhic victory means.
>>
>>144556042
can someone explain to me how those gunners didn't take any damage? As far as I know they can't shoot over other troops like the crossbowmen which means you have to either leave gaps in your frontline (which you can't afford if you get swarmed by orcs or the rest of your army gets raped) or you put them in front which just makes them die. Is there a trick? Like a stance or something?
>>
>>144557731
focus fire on vulnerable targets so if armor piercing focus down chosen or similar
>>144557872
There's a mod that buffs the rez abilities of the vampire tree.
I hope they balance it somewhat because right now rezing 5 guys a pop is ridiculous.
>>
>>144557938
Highgrounds? Small gaps that allow them to shot through cause the enemy infantry will get caught on your own anyways?

First battle of Salzemund, turn 139. Mark the location.
>>
>>144557938
You move them out on the flanks and protect them with cav, leave gaps that the enemy can't penetrate, or have them behind to shoot at big stuff, and several other options. Battles aren't static things with just one formation, you have to adapt to the situation.

So as vamps should I immediately start corrupting Dwarf lands

The attrition plus low movement makes it seem like it'll be real fucking hard to kill them

After the battle of Sekigahara the Tokugawa Shogunate dominated Japan.
Those who fought Tokugawa Ieyasu became the “Tozama”, the outsiders.
Disgraced, the Tozama daimyo and their descendants were forever excluded from positions of power.
Instead, they looked abroad, prospering through commerce with China and the West.
Threatened by the newly-wealthy Tozama, Tokugawa Iemitsu, grandson of Ieyasu, closed the ports of Japan, banning all foreign trade.
For over 200 years Japan remained isolated. With no enemies, the power of the Shogunate waned.
Then, in 1853, a fleet of American warships forced open the ports of Japan. The Shogun was humiliated.
Revolutionary ideas and machines from the West began to flood the country.
With the Shogun's position weakened, his enemies begin to circle.
The Tozama daimyo, even the Emperor himself, see the chance to bring down the Tokugawa and rule Japan.

So, in Shogun 2, I know that once you hit 15 provinces all of your non-allies declare war on you. But do they remain at war with you until you defeat them all and conquer the whole of Japan? Or will they be willing to talk peace once I take Kyoto and hold it for four turns and become shogun?
>>
>>144557862

>3 minimum

But it usually costs 4-6k to keep three armies around, meaning that sacking is mandatory to not run out of money at that point

It feels like campaign movement is the only general stat that matters. It is such bullshit chasing down enemy armies. You can't even have cavalry based armies for mobility since unit comp doesn't affect movement range.

Well it's not supposed to be easy to just roll into the chaos wastes and clean up. I imagine it'll only get harder if beastmen and daemons of chaos get added to the game.

>>144558538
look at this setup
>>144556042

3 gunners, 2 crossbowmen

The frontline with the greatsword holds back infantry, the pistoliers swing around to shoot at the oncoming troops. Outriders can flank troops and scatter them, 3 demigryph units that can protect the gunners. Crossbowmen can just shoot over their infantry so no need for them to expose themselves.
>>
>>144558923
just have high income
and you don't really need high tier armies to fuck up skirmishers
>>
>>144557478

>>144558923
i get like 12000K every turn and i got 4 full equipped armies.

>>144559427

>>
>>144556042
This army would probably do better if you throw out 2 artillery and get 2 additional greatswords, 4 units is an extremley small infantry line.
>>
>>144559110
I wanted Erengrad. And Kislev wasn't exactly going to trade with me, so I sat in Castle von Rauken and Bechafen and watched them burn.

They did a pretty good job holding out, I've gotta give 'em that.
>>
>>144559259
grudge throwers are great
2 of them can wipe out half a chosen stack before they reach your line
they typically get 40-60 kills a battle
>>
>>144559507
Looking for some ranged boys to take it to the chaos.

>>144559427
Honestly, none of them.
>>
just bought TWWH, what are some essential mods?
>>
>>144559427
Pretty sure Armenia gets persian archers
>>
>>144559526
yeah I actually already did that. I noticed that my greatcannon, while pretty useful in big open engages where the enemy army is 5 miles away, doesn't do enough when the infantry line closes. Steamtanks are good because they wreck shit in melee anyway and are basically additional infantry.

I also added a battle-priest with ward-save aura. If you place a guy like that amidst your greatswords they straight up refuse to die.

As long as you don't declare war, sure. The dwarfs aren't too smart and don't know to grudge their vampire neighbors when karaks start falling to the undead.
>>
>>144558923
If you focus on general abilities that buff cheap units, you can have super cheap armies that can do work. I've just been using spearmen and crossbows and have been smashing chaos marauder stacks 1 to 3
>>
>>144560301
but according to twg all the unit buffs are trash and you should always focus your point in the lords own abilities.
>>
>>144558896
Classic total war tip; always keep some light cav to run down routers. Although with how generals gain experience it is probably better to fight has many battles as possible in this game.

That's just some vocal retards. You can put points into unit buffs and have plenty of points left for making a melee monster too, not all the skills in the melee tree are worth investing in.
>>
>>144561241
well these buffs still won't give them weapon strength, armor piercing or things like speed. so additional attack and defence aren't that great.
>>
>>144561590
attack and defence seem to be the only thing that matters in my runs. even vs things like dwarves, they tire out and start routing while my units stay healthy. Line units are just for surviving, the killing is done by ranges units, cavalry, and heroes
>>
>>144560301
Actually I was talking about Chaos, Chaos doesn't have income and once you have 3 armies you're usually 4000-6000 in the red
>>
>>144561590
It makes them hell of a lot more effective though. It's quite an increase percentage-wise, and that matters quite a lot for how much they hit/get hit. The buffs let them punch way above their weight for a while.
