>>144598717

>>144598717
The answer is always Quarrellers, artillery or blasting charges.
>>144598717
The same way every faction deals with them. Take your lord and right click on their lord.

>>144598717
If it's mounted your lord won't catch up when they rout. If it's not mounted you can usually catch them with the speed boost to get a few more hits in and kill/wound.
Also, 2 units of trollhammer torpedoes absolutely fucking melt enemy lords.

It would be great if you could pay off factions to break alliances/trade agreements in diplomacy, but right now there doesn't seem to be anybody scumbag enough to do that in TW:W.
Diplomacy is now just Player vs AI, you can't, for example, do stuff like get the Takeda to fight the Hojo by paying them to break alliances and such.

Yknow, you would think Dorfs would've really loved polearms

>>144602456
From what I've read, it sounds like Skaven are good at overwhelming people with large numbers. It would be cool if they added something along the lines of Skaven Slaves only taking up 1/2 a unit slot so you could overwhelm people with little memers.
I don't know how this would work in practice though.
>>144603043
VC is a long slow slog compared to the lategame steamroll of other races, especially if you build your army around flying monsters.
>install Rome 2
>click on general
>go into combat
>had forgotten that the general units don't have any distinguishing marks
>they're just boosted up units
>mfw
I had forgotten how dull Rome 2 was in this regard.
>>144600134
the weaker they are the more likely they are to confederate, especially if a strong enemy starts attacking them.
>>144603304
I liked the Empire because it started off slow while I built up a big bank and a ton of cash, then I made a few really powerful armies and obliterated everyone. It feels like even with super strong units and high tech I'll capture someone then sit there for several turns slowly building up corruption until I can go to the next person.
>>144603184
>Skaven are good at overwhelming people with large numbers
Pretty much this, yeah.
Assassinating key targets with the best assassins in the game, swarming the enemy with superior numbers but shit quality and destroying the whole battlefield with the strongest artillery by far (which normally ends up with killing half your and your enemies army)
>>144590480
anon you genius,thanks so much. don't ask why but I was trying to insert the weapon variants in the unit tables.
so with that horrifying issue finally resolved, MOUSILLON STATUS-ALMOST HAPPENING
>>144603453
Yeah, that has been my experience as well. That said, it's not impossible to blitzkrieg, but it's dependent on your enemy being tied up by someone else.
Fortunately for me, the Empire is being ravaged by Norsca and Chaos, who I conveniently neglected to deal with, while the Dorfs are stuck in a war with the Greenskins that has lasted some 50 turns with no substantial change in their borders.

>irondrakes have no beards
How awful
>>144601964Ignore him fampai
>>144603651
It's such a shame because units like Hexwraiths, and most of the monsters are just so interesting. I love the idea of no archers or artillery but time spent on the map is just a snooze fest.
>>144603713
SHAMEFUR DISPRAY
>>144603713
In the book it goes!
>>144603842
It's also why I dislike your inability to get other factions to break alliances for money. If I could have provoked a war between Middenland and the Empire, I'd have ensured that the fuckers stayed confined to Bretonnia and facing down Bordeleaux. But no, Archaon the Animechosen means Bordeleaux and Marienburg are perfectly happy to let Karl "Leouncour-killer" Franz ally with them while I get thrown by the wayside as VC.
If we could just get them to break alliances and fight each other, then we could just roll in when they've wasted their stacks on each other and claim the lot. But as it stands we have to do it the old-fashioned way.
>>144603372
>just boosted up units
you wouldn't like Attila, most generals are actually weaker than a regular unit of that tier
>>144603184
Just make slave units have bigger numbers per unit then it being a half unitcard
>>144603963
It's called Warhammer, not Bribehammer.
>>144603080
>>144603693
ARE YOU A GOD?
>>144603974
I played Attila a lot, and I don't like that fact either. I don't know why they detest just putting back the Shogun 2 way of how Generals work.
>>144604027
Fair enough, all that means is that the 2K gold that would have gone to breaking the alliance is going straight into a 5th stack.
What if CA increased army size to 32 and buffed all monster units,artillery and flying units and made them take 2 unit slots
>>144604030
you know it bby
I think we're gonna be okay
>>144603985
That's kind of what they did with goblins and they're still useless pieces of shit. I want to feel like I'm just completely overwhelming the enemy with ludicrous numbers of shitters.
>>144604071
They were also pissweak in that, except if you went all in on the warrior tree, and if you did you'd still get your shit handed to you by a guy wielding a stool and two bow ashigaru.
>>144604191
Imo gobbos should have more per unit then they currently do
>Download Blood Knights mod for some cool powerful late game cavalry
>Blood Knight infantry is the most broken thing in existence
I've killed all the campaign posters
>>144604249
But they were unique. Either they could buff up the units, or they could become monsters themselves.
But they had unique looks and animations. I just want that.
>>144603517
Skaven artillery is only the best in the sense that it's the most destructive.
> Tomb Kings still not announced
>>144601437
Well that's one more step completed
Trollhammers are grossly underrated, these fuckers obliterate large units
How the fuck do I orc? I lost my first campaign ever as them. They're so terrible and keep getting raped by dwarves
>>144595028
Monsters and Artillery scale with unit size

The player can see through forests. His territories are forests- they have a "forested" quality like vampiric/chaotic corruption, all conquered provinces become heavily forested. Not forested enough = low public order. Enemies move slower in WE territory. WE get major bonus to ambush depending on forestyness

>Can't dare have a stack idle when playing Orcs if you want to protect an area, ultimately feels annoying.
Not even remotely true. If anything the infighting is underwhelming. Your fightiness gets too low, you let them fight for a turn, hop into a city for a single turn and you're fine for 4-5 more turns until you may need to do it again.

he was, he said he must be OP then
he was right, he was OP, nerf when?
>>144605692
Indeed, that's what happened when Grimgor pulls your heart out through your anus with his teeth.
>>144605858

They're basically overpowered in everything they exist in, which is probably why CA stuck to only Black Knights. You can't do Blood Dragons justice without having them smear shit all over every other unit in the game, and that isn't very interesting.
>For an example of uninteresting units that shit on everything and how they make the game boring, see : Demigryphs

Love that map btw, I might try LME just for that. Are the sounds as good as Darthmod?
Do you guys use the melee expert heroes in your army?
I had a lot of success with a high-level Exalted Hero on a Manticore, but I'd like to hear what your experiences are with Captains, Wight Kings, Thanes, whatevs.
>>144601651

Blood dragons ≠ Blood Knights.
Blood Dragons are a bloodline like von Carstein or Strigoi
Blood Knights are vampiric ultra-heavy cavalry
>>144605535
Don't worry friend, we'll always be here for you. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions <3
>>144606314
My Exalted Hero on the Manticore was really fucking good and had a Wight King that killed heroes and lords like nothing.
Empire Captains, dunno. Mostly using Wizards and Warriors Priests to heal my troops from nearly dead back to full in a turn.
>>144600814
Demigryph knights have an income over 200 you goober
>>144605767
Is there a way to order a shooting unit to charge with its melee weapons? I feel like thats necessary for Warhawks and Glade Riders which are both shooting and charging units
Can someone explain Von Carstein?Who was the first one?Do they have a leaders?Do they ever fight each other?Do their peasants know they are vampires?
Is this a good entry point into the series and does it do a good job of explaining what to do? Call me retarded but i tried getting into Shogun 2 a couple times in the past and just had no clue what i was doing.
>>144606453
Blood Knights are Blood (Dragon) Knights.
>>144606297
I can't say, I haven't tried Darthmod for Napoopan.
I have 75 hours on Napoleon on Steam (most of it in that Prussia campaign) but I've probably got at least 100 extra since I pirated it before I bought it.

Vlad or Konrad, I can't remember who. yea their peasants are aware. yea they got leaders, I don't think they fight each other.
are any of the other vamp players here a little disapointed we werent allowed to choose what bloodline we played as? I know in the lore it was only the Von Carsteins that did anything big but still would have been cool. at least let us choose what bloodline our lords are.
>>144606453

Empire nearly finished
What now?
>>144606643
The first vampire count and founder of Sylvania was Vlad von Carstein, who founded the bloodline. His descendents are the "vampire counts" who are the leaders of the counties of sylvania, who do fight amongst each other sometimes
>>144606865

>>144606845
The Order of the Blood Dragon IS the Blood Knights.
It's in the army book and everything.
>>144606710
We should play sometime mang, I love this game. Might even be my fav total war.
That last breakout attempt was just depressing. 1000 enemy deaths to my 14, and roughly half of that was friendly fire on my part.
Now here's the question; do I take the city now and defend it against their reinforcements, or do I let them attempt another breakout in the hopes I'll get to fight on the hilltop map a third time?

Yesterday I was fighting a battle as Chaos and hid some marauder horsemen in the woods pretty much on the other side of the battle. The enemy cavalry rushed them as soon as the battle started and went back to their army as soon as they withdrawed. This has to be a bug.

>play Uesugi in Shogun 2

Does anyone actually know why he's not wearing his trademark armor? One of the primary reasons why he was so successful was how easily recognizable Uesugi Kenshi's armor was from a distance, and how it inspired fear in the enemy.
>>144606440
The only reason Grimgor loses to Kholek is because Kholek's attack has a massive knockback/stun to them. I mean for fuck sake, he can stunlock Sarothal to death as well.
>>144594118
I need a Rome II mod for god mode or infinite movement or something as a city is about to be buttfucked because the AI is launching a suicidal charge to take me down with them in the last leg of our war.

>The Blood Knights were once an honorable brotherhood of Imperial Knights that had dedicated their lives to protecting the lands just west of the Imperial province of Wissenland. However, after their horrific transformation into Vampires, these once noble Knights have since become the bearers of the unholy blood of the Blood Dragon bloodline. This transformation came about when an unexpected visitor demanded entrance into the confines of Blood Keep in the Imperial year of 1887. This man held the name of Walach Harkon, a student of the Vampire Firstborn Abhorash himself. In one single night, Walach Harkon had personally dueled and slain every single member of the original Knights of the Blood Dragons, and turn those he deemed worthy into Vampires.
they are one and the same

>>144607895
Yeah true. Seems like it's the same thing for ambush stance on the campaign map.
>>144607790
one stack vs one stack are the least buggy ones, but when you have multiple stacks fighting it can go any way really, the game only remembers the movement orders, the actual fighting can go either way, so a pyrhic victory might end up being a valiant defeat
I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE VAMPIRE COUNTS SO FUCKING MUCH

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
>>144608335
I still don't get how ambushes work in TWW, I have a X% chance on the map that the ambush succeeds, mostly I'm discovered before, sometimes I intercept the army but the ambush fails and I never got an ambush to actually work yet...
>>144608416
Corruption is fun, finally a faction that prevents zerging the map and rewards for slow expanding.

>>144608476
I won the long campaign in VH with all factions and I had lik 4 ambush battles in total. And that's including the ambush quest battles.

I get where you're coming and I like the idea of it, but it just feels like it spreads to slowly.
Any tips for fast spreading that I may be unaware of? I know that Vampire's are decent at spreading but it takes a decent amount of time to get more than 1 of them.
I rushed the spreading technology but I guess I could have put the spreading building in all my provinces. Is it worth doing that?

Fucking retard, make sure to have at least one in each province.
>>144608713
Literally nobody complained about matched combat.
>>144608659
I always put the corruption buildings in every single region, it's fighting chaos corruption, corruption neighboring provinces and keeps public order high.
This is a battle that I had about 5% chance of winning with Autoresolve.
Easiest fight of my life. It was a defensive siege.
>>144608758
>Literally nobody complained about matched combat.
Man, I got things to tell you about people praising M2 combat and bitching about matched combat in every Warscape game except for Shogun 2.
>>144608659
DEFINITELY put one of those buildings in each province. I mean, you might as well, it's not like you really need anything else so desperately you can't spare a slot for one. I'm pretty sure every character you have spreads corruption too, even if they're not fantastic at it, so if you really want to corrupt a particular region (you should usually before you take it over so you don't get massive public order penalties) stick all your dudes there. Usually not necessary, but if you really want to take over something cos it has a goldmine in it or whatever, it's helpful.
>>144608585
>a game from 2011, created by CA's B-team has individualized combat animations
I remember when people said this was a negative
>>144608659
I didn't build that many spreading buildings, I had a larger problem with public order and mainly built that building and walls/corpse piles.
If you can take attrition for a turn just expand by going to the nearby towns. Otherwise, send in some agents a couple of turns beforehand, they are really good at spreading corruption
>>144609071
The problem for me is that if I take a settlement without fully corrupting it, the lack of corruption absolutely shits on my public order. When I fucked up the Border Princes to give myself a base near the Greenskin I had to sit there for 10-15 turns babying it and fighting rebellions.

Nigger this is not even worth mentioning
You can beat at least two full norscan stacks with lvl 2 wall in a minor settlement and upgraded capitals are virtually invulnerable
Their army composition doesn't help, usually it's 6 units of infantry and the rest is horses and dogs and chaos spawns who'll get fucked by ranged and then halberdiers can kill them at the gate
>>144609213
I had it a couple of times from rebels
>>144609213
Had a stack garrisoned in Marienberg under siege. I didn't have any forces to relieve them, so after like 7 turns they attacked me with 3 battering rams (>mfw the walls only had one gate) and 4 siege towers.

1. Play Empire
2. Conquer Marienburg
3. Better build walls because you'll be seeing 4 stacks of raiders every 20 turns until you finish the game
On Very Hard, at least. I assume AI won't have enough money for 4 full stacks on hard and on normal it can't manage economy for shit

>>144609176
Yes that's pretty much how it went down for me too, but I kept my lord close and invaded adjascent regions and could pull him back if necessary. Meanwhile I upped the garrisons in case of rebels, took away taxes and increased public order in that province
>>144609541
lvl2 norskan port gives +1200 gold, which considering that their stacks are made up of extremely cheap norska units means that the port income alone is enough to support 1 full stack, thats why they can shit out one stack after anot

You mean he fucked over the guys who tried to fuck him. Remember that Nagash, after enslaving him, sold him out and framed him for the death of the Everchild.
>>144610972
Do you only enjoy games that give you a cute cutscene and dramatic voice-over at the end telling you how you good you are for winning? I mean, don't get me wrong, the end-game does drag out once you reach the point of inevitable victory and are essentially just cleaning up for the last 20 turns or so, and it actually would be nice if there was some sort of epilogue even if it was just a 30 second cutscene with shots of, for example, Dwarves all standing around looking tough and victorious, having feasts and shit, giant dwarf armies with gyrocopters marching around, and a shot of the faction leader doing something appropriate, like Grudgebearer sitting on his throne and then he shuts the book of grudges or some shit and it cuts to black. And over all this it's saying how there's a new age of united Dwarfs, chaos has been beaten back, Greenskin scum wiped off the continent, grudges settled until the Dwarfs find something else to be miffed about. It would be nice, but also, I'm pretty sure most people don't care that much, me included. Like, the 50 hours of fun I had playing my Empire campaign wasn't ruined because I didn't get to watch a short video at the end telling me I won the game.

>I don't play games that offers no incentives for me beating it.
Total War games have always been about the journey, not the destination. The battles leading up towards the finale, the hijinks happening in battle and when you beat outnumbering odds in defense. Story has always had a very minor part in the series, and how do you close out a game that has no real story? You don't, except give a very vague and very base "this is what happened, you won, you are winrar".
Don't think about the end, think of it as a series. Spartacus Blood and Sand had a great battle at the end of the series, but it left on a very hollow note - as was intended.
So, is there a mod to make it so armies can't initiate battles from forced march? One of the biggest mistakes in TWW from previous games in terms of battles on the campaign map.
>chasing down shitty ass armies across the map because LmAO CANT CATCH ME
So in the not-shit lore AKA before the End Times are people aware that Sylvania is ruled by Vampires and the dead are risen there? Or is it more along the lines of rumors and spooky stories to the outside world with Sylvanian peasants occasionally seeing a skeleton walking around but the real crazy undead stuff being kept out of the public view?
Just kind of wondering how aware people are of whats going on in Vampireland

Need more ideas on what unit to do 1 - 3 stacks of and siege with. I was thinking dogs, but that might be too easy since they bring down gates in but a few seconds.
How the fuck do i deal with Top Knots as greenskins? They've already steamrolled all southern tribes and moved their borders up to Iron Rock. I can barely get by with 1,5 stacks of my shitty units, while all of the Top Knots wild boys are supperior to mine regular boyz.

Archaon activated an ancient Old One device that created a Chaos Gate. This third Chaos Gate broke the balance between the old Northern and Southern Chaos Gates and this was going to destroy the world.
The Incarnates decided to sacrifice themselves in order to seal this new Chaos Gate and create a new Vortex. When they were busy doing the spell to seal the portal, Mannfred teleports behind Gelt (The Incarnate of Metal) and backstabs him. This leads the spell to go haywire and the Chaos Gate sucking the winds of magic. The world is destroyed shortly afterwards.

In the first year, we used to make silly stuff like pose the corpses to the best of our ability - being physical strength against rigor mortis.
On another note, movies where they wrap people up in blankets and just stuff them into cars and shit? Fuck that, it'd be like trying to bend a plank.
But after an incident where a family changed their mind about cremating their grandmother and we had drawn a vaudeville moustache on her with waterproof markersbecause if we can't try to make it something funny, we'd be fucked up, the boss installed a camera and we proceeded to just do our jobs.
If you meant literal fucking, then no. That's honestly more a thing where it happened once back in the day and then people assume that's all we do. It's never happened in my city, since the days of the old west.

We couldn't get it off in time, so we had to present her with the moustache. We didn't get paid for a month and a half after that, along with the dirtiest of stink-eyes from anyone who had heard about it. Thankfully never reached the news.
>That sounds like a funny job though. You should have worn a tuxedo and tophat and cultivated the air of an undertaker.
Honestly, it fucks you up. I still have nightmares about the dead rising from the preparation table and strangling/killing me in whatever manner. I can't eat sauerkraut anymore, because it smells just like the first few seconds when the flesh starts to burn in the oven. I obsessively wash my hands to the point where people think I'm insane because I want to get the stench out. I don't even know if there is a stench anymore, but I still smell it on my hands.

>Literally nobody complained about matched combat.
Is this a fucking joke?
In the original Total War: Shogun, I once watched a Kensai successfully defend a bridge against an entire brigade of enemy Samurai. In that moment the last vestiges of historical accuracy drained out of the series, never to return. It wasn't a great loss: the franchise is still the best wedding of tactical and strategic layers ever to grace a computer. But given the emptiness of its historical settings, it makes sense that Total War has finally ditched any pretence of simulation with the entirely pretend Total War: Warhammer.
Not that the result has much in common with either piece of source material. As a veteran of both, I started out utterly confused after an inexcusably bad tutorial and lack of instruction material. Miniature gamers will discover that tried and tested tabletop tactics don't work on these digital battlefields. Total War devotees, on the other hand, will find that while the mechanics are familiar, the vast diversity of new and bizarre units make the game play very differently to its predecessors.
Given how awful the learning curve is at the moment, it's tempting to stall on this until various bloggers and vloggers have got on the case to smooth it out. Patches will come, prices may drop. Those who like a challenge may wish to take the plunge now and learn the hard way. Either way, if you have the slightest interest then this is not a game to miss. In bringing fantasy to Total War, Creative Assembly have made both the best Total War game and the best fantasy strategy game to date.

Hey /twg/,
I posted this in /v/ already, but maybe /vg/ is the better place for TW: Warhammer questions.
A friend and me played the coop campaign for about 9 hours straight yesterday and while it's great fun, we still haven't figured out how to have real time battles with BOTH of our armies together.
>play dorfs
>he plays vampires
>want to campaign against Averland
>can only give each other battle control over certain units
Basically, we want to steamroll the map (we play on easy) with our two 20/20 armies (1x dwarf, 1x vampire) and fight huge battles together where both of us field our respective troops against the enemy armies.
Does that even work in this game?
PS: How do I prevent my game from randomly crashing each hour? If it wasn't for the coop autosaves, we would have given up already.
Pic somewhat related, my lords have the same names in the MP campaign as they do in single player.
>form dorf box formation
>leave cannons in center
>chaos shits charge box
>gap forms in the defense
>manually fire the cannons right into the gap slaughtering knights and chosen
This shit is so satisfying
>>144608758
Tons of people complained about how "terrible" it was, which was partly why it was removed. It was mainly the old breed of Med 2 players. They had some weight in Rome 2 when matched combat was unbreakable and screwed up formations because soldiers would quite often go full PULLO FORMATION but Attila solved it by having them fully interruptible by any other soldier.

I'd have to build a tier 4 city, a foundry and an engineers' guild hall just for that. Why the fuck is this the first quest? I already have the second quest and I'm nowhere gyrocopters yet. This is worse than some of the chapter objectives, like the game actually expects you to just sit around for ages doing nothing and just waiting for buildings to construct.

Seems a bit much, doesn't it? In table top they had to surrender the chance to go first in order to get 1/6th ward save against normal attacks, and a 1/3rd ward save against heavy attacks. But they lost the save if the fled once
>What units are they still missing?
Questing Knights - Knights with great weapons
Grail Reliquae and Battle Pilgrims - Crazed monks carying a dead knight into battle, sword infrantry with aura buffs
Knight Errants - Like KotR but younger and eager to prove themselves
>Will CA implement some 'non-canon' units?
I don't think so, apart from maybe knights on foot. There is a special rule for lords in their last army book called Virtue of Empathy where the lord fights on foot together with his peasants
>>144617913
Why?
>>144617818
Brettonia don't really have much in the way of unit variety. The only thing missing are Questing Knights and maybe Knights Errant.
They could add dismounted versions (but that would be un-chivalrous as fuck) so then Brettonia would end up with the most powerful infantry in the game. Dismounted Grail Knights would wreck shit so hard.

I don't think it really rewards slow expansion as much as it punishes fast expansion. Sure, the AI might get a bit of attrition in their own provinces but that's really minor considering there are a bunch of ways to circumvent it compared to the massive order penalty. And since the AI cheats with order that doesn't mean anything to them.

Not in the actual sense, you can group lock units and send them to attack and they all search for their own targets.
>>144618802

>>144619576
It would be good if it rewarded slow expansion, but it doesn't, that was my point. It's in theory fun to have a faction that doesn't have the fast expansion strategy but then I feel like it should give some substantial benefit for slow expansion compared to the other factions that don't get penalized. As it is now the vampire counts are just not as good as the others in that regard, with no redeeming factors.

It's a bit harsh to say that there's no benefit, with sufficient corruption you can create a universal attrition zone that fucks over invading stacks. Helped me whittle down Varg and Chaos stacks coming down from Bechafen.
Admittedly, it's not the best reward for a slow expansion, given that most enemy armies can neutralize that with raiding stance or encampment, but it does buy you time to send your main armies over if you're out of position.
>>144619821
Pretty much, yes. You should still keep your eyes on your units but it's far less micro-intensive than ordering every single unit around by itself
>>144594687
Let me roll.
>>144619964
The public order is also really useful
>>144619791
Nein I believe not
>>144619964
It hasn't really helped me at all, but then again I've mostly expanded fast anyway with mitigating as much as I can with buildings and agents, and just lived with the penalty.

It's the most helpful if you corrupt Ostermark and perhaps raze Essen or leave a colonized ruin. That way you have a sort of buffer zone to the north while you concentrate your expansion west, using the river Stir as your natural border. I basically have everything between Reikland and Sylvania on lock down and heavily walled. The spare garrison troops really make a difference as VC, since the basic skellie infantry is trash.

The problem with slayers is that they're slow (because dwarfs) have virtually no ranged defense and once they're in to melee because of their low defenses they end up dying too quickly anyways. Increasing their health might help a bit yes.
>>144619962
They need more everything desu
If they do engage, they do no damage
Even against large creatures its usually a one for one trade off
>>144620290
To be fair the only person I could have rolled that would have been redeemable to post anime with is Prince Sigvald.

>>144621259
I know the feeling, I was trying to save it for manfred but it turns out the legendary lords models are completely NOT modular.
Greenskins genocided on turn 62 except for some stragglers who are going to die of attrition unless they decide to go out fighting by attacking one of my places and losing because there's about 100 orcs left in total. I'm now earning almost 10k gold per turn with 4 full stack armies and no enemies except for chaos, who are apparently up in the Empire. People have trouble with this campaign? I feel like now all I need to do is march around to the remaining dwarf holds with a couple of stacks of elite units and either convince them to ally with me or annex them by force, then just wipe chaos off the face of the planet.

Hexwraiths get AP damage
>>144622521
Well, it is a sea, that has likely been corrupted by Chaos. That's it really. Probably some fucked up mutated ass sea monsters or stuff in there.
The area to the north isn't actually the Realm of Chaos, it is just the area immediately closer to the vortex Chaos comes from, so it is the most corrupted/weird. That's also why the human tribes who live in the north are pretty much all Chaos worshippers.
At one point there is an army who comes out of some form of time vortex, comes across an army of damaged, beaten men, fights them to the death, then they themselves are attacked by a fresh army coming from the same direction they once did.It is the same army, constantly fighting it's past/future self, stuck in an infinite time loop because Khorne finds it hilarious

dont wanna beg but would someone be able to make a quick mod that adds amour-pierce to grail knights?
as they have like 3 units in their whole roster
Should I:
Finish Empire Campaign (Got the victory message but I'm just mopping up greenskins now)
Finish my VC Campaign (Pretty much won, took a bunch of the Empire lands without going to war thanks to corruption/Norsceans, but now the Empire and Dwarfs declared war)
Or start a new campaign, either a Dwarf one because I haven't played them yet, or another Empire one now that I know what I'm doing.

I think there's a bit of an issue with the diplomacy AI.
Even the next few turns I offered like 20,000 and they still said no.
I still don't really understand recruitment of higher tier troops. So if I want Ironbreakers do I need an armory and Gromgril Forge in the same Province capital or just having an armory built will allow me to make a Gromgril forge?

they arent cheating, they just get +1200 from their ports, which they have in every settlement, and they use cheap as shit units so they can support massive number of stacks
>>144623290
I just stuck two slayers against 2 crypt horrors in a straight fight, they won with about 75% losses, would have gotten fucked if the crypt horrors hadn't decided to run away. I can only assume the mod is working, though I've never actually used slayers before, personally, because they seemed so bad. I'm assuming without the mod they would have gotten destroyed. There isn't anything indicating the 25% physical damage reduction is applied to them but I'm guessing that's just you'd have to do that separately and it isn't really necessary if you already know it's a thing cos you installed the mod.

I can read the building cards for their ports, it doesn't say shit about income. Their main buildings produce a ton, but not enough for the Varg to support 6-10 full stacks of trolls and chariots to dance around my lands besieging and laying ambushes.
I can't imagine what this campaign would look like right now if I hadn't spent literally all my income for 100 turns building walls.
>>144624258

>>144624689
>I can't imagine what this campaign would look like right now if I hadn't spent literally all my income for 100 turns building walls.
That's basically how every campaign except Chaos works. Walls are just too damn handy and almost entirely fix the problem of army upkeep, since you basically have a mid to high tier army stationed everywhere.
>>144624648
If kislev get added they're going to have a pretty coolhehstart with the norscan fucks to the north and the vampire cunts to the south. A nation of horsefuckers with guns sounds like fun, at least.

some anon posted it, in one of the earlier threads, their port gives them +1200 gold
the poison dogs have only 65 upkeep, the horsemen, marauders and trolls are really, really cheap as well
>>144624993
Could you put a dent in their shit if you dropped by with a stack around early-mid game and razed 2-3 ports?
>>144624972
40k chaos is a threat because of the great schism of marines
Fantasy chaos is a threat because of the well established norscans
>>144624875
Fantasy chaos has a few super elite soldiers that can take on whole armies but also hordes of unwashed slaves willing to throw themselves in to the grinder.
You want an era of combat where skill matters but not that much. Maybe Napoleonic?
>>144624614
Not happening, this Warhammer is an alternate version of the setting. Just like AoR, Storm of Chaos andEnd times.
>>144624894
Once I achieved the short victory as Empire, I watched the map playthrough to see how long it is until Chaos appears and until Kislev starts losing territory. Kislev starts losing territory by the mid 60s or early 70s. So you have alot of time until then to prepare, while at the same time dealing with the dumb Norscan stacks.
>>144624993

>>144625113
they rebuild razed cities in like 10 turns, you have to wipe them out completely, I learned it the hard way, I sent Gelt up there with 1 stack to support him and the norskans were rebuilding the settlements as fast as I was razing them
you need at the very least 3 strong stacks, and to send them all in opposite directions, since you have to move in raid stance to avoid attrition so you will be insanely slow
>>144625185
Well, I've done four of that battle now without the mod being in effect, so that's probably a good amount of base tests

I don't know about you guys, but I feel the last Chaos wave is underwhelming. So I've been thinking that each Chaos wave should have significantly more stacks than the previous.
So, the first wave has 4
Maybe second wave have 6
Third wave 8
Fourth wave 10

Before Elfis Island sank they had a huge kingdom of elves about on par with the Empire and it was all ruled by a descendant of Isha's sister named the Everqueen. tl;dr she's the opposite of Grimdark and looks like she came out of Narnia, and had a kid who is the Everchild who ideally would've became the Everqueen had she not been kidnapped and butchered to awaken an old Askum skelly-god.

You can find several mods on the workshop that boost damage spells, but those tend to have 2 problems
1. They overpower Spirit Leech and Fate on Bjuna
2. They don't fix any of the spells with the Bombardment type because those spells have bugged hit detection.
what formations do my fellow stunties use when forced to fight on land? trying to develop some ideas to better fend off getting flanked
currently: main infantry lines in front, archers behind that, siege behind that. lesser (aux) units form a trapezoid perimeter with 1 units as reserve near siege equipment
also: reply with dope strats or alternative formations regardless of race (i love that shit) i.e. this https://youtu.be/6N2BV-5US48
>>144626905
Hmm, so its a double edged swords. Any official words from CA on patch/fix for this? This is the first total war I played with large/ultra unit size (usually a medium, pardon my cashoolness), so the magic not being scaled up is kinda annoying.
I used one of the mod to power up the magic, the vortex is now kind of OP being able to kill half (if not 75%) of the normal unit with luck and good direction.

Haven't got it yet, are there different units for the Empire Provinces for added flavour or are they just mostly colour scheme changes?
I want me some Ulrican Middenheimers.
>>144627253
>I used one of the mod to power up the magic, the vortex is now kind of OP being able to kill half (if not 75%) of the normal unit with luck and good direction.
I find that preferable to the unmodded experience where you can have a Flame Storm pass straight over a unit of GOBLINS and kill between 0 and 3 of them.
>>144627652Exciting stuff?
>>144627690
why would you be poor as vamp cunt? you have a freaking gold mine in your capital, people always complain about VC economy even though its a very solid start
>>144627690
Zombies, just massive clusterfuck swarms that you preoccupy the enemy with and then obliterate with your high-tier units in the flanks.
Skellies might be better for sieges though
God damnit! I'm desperately waiting for a patch that makes more dwarf units viable, and to make the waiting easier I bought Fürer-mana IV despite swearing I wouldn't. I blame CA.
>>144627690
Zombies are good online because they're cheap as dirt and work as a solid tarpit while your elite units do the work.
If you don't HAVE any elite units to do the work then you need skellies
>>144627014
So far I've been rather inefficiently using my 40% quarreler army composition to destroy any cavalry or missile cavalry before it becomes a problem. It doesn't really work so well if they have more than 2-3 cavalry, but missile cavalry get shredded. It'd be nice if you could just give a couple of your warriors spears, but I guess using spears is undwarfy or something. Fucking axe boners.
>>144627743
I guess I can agree to that. Having magic mechanic supposed to help you in combat in a big way (kind of like bombardment in historical tw).
>>144627690
You want skeletons early game. Once you get some scary stuff to flank with, you can go down to zombies for the main line and rely on the scary stuff to flank with.
Anyone can teach me how to overcast magic spells and how do I know which ones are overcast-able?
Playing as empire and the tutorial isnt exactly descriptive about overcasting, even though I always pick 'reduce miscast chance' skill for my wizards upon levelling up.
Also, any benefit of overcasting>?
Okay lads so I found out POISON works as a damage DEBUFF
What this means is you want units with poison INTERLACED with your meleee front row
For ex, if you have grave guard, if you augment them with crypt horrrs you will literally double your survivability since the crypt horror poison debuff on the enemy severely reduces their damage
This has been a PSA for today on poison
>>144627014
red is iron breaker or some hard as fuck unit
front blue is thunderer
light blue is quarreler
orange is longbeards or some shit
back things are grudge thrower
magenta is lord and hero
advance in formation at grudge thrower speed, start shooting the shit out of them if they dont advance
if they do advance, send in two ironbreakers, back to back facing left and right so they cover each others' asses, don't worry about facing the enemy the point is to get surrounded
if enemy blobs, fire away, send hero support to iron breakers if needed
>>144628145
You just click the spell twice.
If the spell has two little arrows at the bottom then it can be overcast, one will light up when you click it and the second when you click it again, indicating that you are overcasting.
Also, right click a spell in your skilltree to open the spell browser, you can read all the spells' effects and what overcasting does for each one there.
How it feels to fight bretons as dwarfs
https://youtu.be/xFxrzSrVv0I?t=2m47s
Is there a specific path chaos takes? I'm doing a head to head campaign as empire against VC and I'm wondering if Chaos will go after him or me.
Where's the fucking Q&A that was promised today? Grace is such a useless cunt.
>>144628145
>Also, any benefit of overcasting>?
Read the spell browser
Anyone else really hate the chair thing Thorgrim goes around on? With no upgrade to a different thing like a mount either, seeing 4 dwarfs carry him around on a big chair looks too dumb even for Warhammer.
>>144628303
>this is what dwarfs actually believe
>>144628571
>upgrade to a different thing like a mount
>replacing the Book of Grudges with anything
Another entry I see.
>>144628571
It would be cool if the thronebearers attacked as well.
>>144628571
Those chair bearer dudes are literally the toughest dudes in the game
THEY FUCKIN FIGHT ONE ARMED, WHILE HOLDING HIS FATNESS ALOFT, WADING THROUGH SHIT, KEEPING BALANCE ALL THE TIME
How do they do it?
>>144628303
Except gyrocopters do diddly you autistic weeb
In fact mounted yeoman are infinetly more useful
>>144628381
Her cunt has quite some use you gay faggot
>>144628730
Well they are literally the toughest dudes out of the dwarfs so it's not surprising

Meanwhile, in reality
>1 unit of peasant archers can take out 4 units of Gyrocopters
>Dwarfs don't have tanks at all
>>144628273
so ironbreakers would run in front of thunderers?
i guess in theory moral wouldn't drop because your formation is surrounded, not the unit?
>>144628571
Yeah I really don't like the throne to be honest. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Not even in the fantasy doesn't make sense sort of way, it's just like, why the fuck aren't the masses of orcs around him just hitting the people who can't move or fight back because they're holding a giant fucking chair with one hand and I think a shield in the other? The chair is sort of cool but it just looks fucking silly in battle.
Can we make a new thread so i can spam my memes and go to sleep?
>>144628303
its nice that Japan thinks they could win against medieval armies.
>>144600405
you're suppose to be poor as chaos anon, you should have like 100k at turn 15-20 though. so your troop costs dont matter, sack and raze... and then sack and raze some more.
DO DAWI HAVE ANY EQUIVALENT TO THE STEAM TANK
WHY NOT???
WHEN WILL WE SEE DWARVEN MECHS
IF THEY CAN MAKE PLANES WHY NOT MECHS??

>mfw RoR still has tons of work to do before it's decent enough to enjoy properly
>>144629181
The reason is that it's Dorf tradition that whenever the king wants to sit, he sits on his throne. Naturally this means that if a king were to travel, they'd either need to stand the entire time or bring their throne with them. It's a great honor to be a thronebearer & said thronebearers are highly trained to be the king's bodyguards.
>>144629181
Blame Thorgrim for being a lazy fuck, he doesn't even need to bring the chair he just does because he can't be bothered to stand
THERE'S TOO MANY FUCKING GREENSKINS, WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
I'm playing on Legend and really want to get Lightning Strike because that shit is not managable if you get swarmed by multiple armies. What trash skills should I get beforehand to reach the 4 skillpoint threshhold before I get there?
>>144629246
I think the should get some sort of steam powered drill on treads. It would have a giant drill in the front, treads on the bottom, and a place for a dwarf to sit and steer the thing behind the drill. There would be a back seat where another dwarf would sit and toss out satchel charges out the back
>>144629257
>>144629246
Manlets butthurt that humans have surpassed them in technology with only a fraction of the time the dwarfs had
>>144600405
>Chaos
>poor
I consistently have 50 to 100k favour by turn 40. A semi-large settlement gives you atleast 10 to 15k on a sack. Bigger ones give up to 50k. How are you fucking poor?
>>144629489
I always go Fervent. Fucking chaos and vamps always shitting things up with their agents
Are there any house rules /twg/ likes to adhere to? I've been trying to, as best I can anyway, keep my armies near the percentages allowed for lords, heroes, core, rare, and special from the table top.
>>144629460
if dwarf: turtle silver road hard. build gate or w/e structures at everything but capitol. you should be building a near-capacity army as soon as province is capped, and expect a shitstorm by turn 20-25. Fight in the underway. Perk into the ability to fight in the underway more often
if empire; are you kidding you should have tanks and shit by the time they're a problem
if other greenskins: die
>>144629437
>>144629458
See the tradition is all fine and everything but this fat fuck could just opt to stand up during battles, like damn the thronebearers don't get a moment's rest do they, even in the one situation where you'd think the king would bother standing up, when fighting people, he still makes them carry him around like the goddamn lazy piece of shit he is.
>>144629246
Because Dorfs would rather cut off their tiny manlet cocks than innovate.
Men are surpassing the Dwarfs in technology because, while Dwarfs have many hoarded secrets of craft, men don't need the approval of 300 Engineer guild members and a 200 year trial period before they're allowed to try a new idea.
Someone in the Empire had an idea to build a tank, so they fucking built a tank.
>>144629164
yes, they look sort of like this
facing out so your flanks are exposed but not your rear
it has to be a hard fucking unit to be able to do this without just breaking
the pink is their dogs or horses trying to get at you
you can close the front and stop using the thunderers if some ignore the ironbreakers and try to get at you, or just use the 2nd hero to intercept and continue shooting
>>144628273
Neat, I'm gonna start using this.
Just to clarify, the front ironbreakers are basically bait so you can shoot shit harder? And this makes the long beards on the sides a defense force to protect the missile units flanks?
>>144628281
Thanks, anon! Gotta try this later.
>>144628183
Do poison archers poison friendly troops in this game? I assume so but there's no status indicator for a poisoned unit like there was in atilla
>>144629675
The last high king was a badass, he stood atop a carried shield into battle
wHAT'S The faction that will most play like the Wermacht?

>>144629708
>tfw doing that, but with Empire on Legendary, using just Karl Franz for the Ironbreaker's role
God, why is he so fucking cool
>>144629735
yes, and yes, though if your flanks aren't threatened or you clear the flankers with your quarrelers instead, you can start moving the beards up as an encircling force
>>144629947

Fervent or Reassuring Presence is the most useful, depending on what you intend to do with the army.
>>144629669
it's waaay past that point, I've confederated and expanded heavily and I own some of the northeastern badlands, I just can't even fathom actually taking their capital and whenever I try and go for a settlement an army zooms past me to fuck up one of my cities

Reminder that dwarfs will never EVER have tanks
>>144629246
I think there is mentions of this kind of stuff in the background, but they are mostly isolated cases that never saw models produced.
They do have armored steam battleships and at least one reported battle dirigible, thought.
Plus keep in mind that there is only like a dozen steam tanks, the products of one genius that the imperials engineers are unable to reproduce, only to maintain.

Because I have 3 armies. Have just dealt with norsca and chaos invasion and am at war with everyone since chaos weakened my empire and ever y other fucker saw a chance to destroy me. Fortunately me and the greenskins finished of the dwarves but my northern provinces have rebelled due to poor empire management early game and me expanding too fast plus raiding and the empire have taken half my lands now to the west whilst greenskin hordes continue to raise my moneymaking cities and refuse to have peace despite me killing several of their stacks

It isn't really important, none of the first skills have any real effect on your game. I just maxed the recruitment cost reduction to help me out in the early-game but I had a long string of victories at the very start of the game so I had Lightning Strike almost immediately.
