is there anything worse than your Lord getting gangbanged so hard by 2-3 different units, that they become so useless that they can't even try to run away, let alone attack.

BRETONNIA FLC WHEN

Can any warhammerfags explain to me why Bretonnia doesn't rule the empire?

Brets seem to have their shit together whereas empire/franz are totally fucking clueless and live like it's the dark ages.

It's like Brets = renaissance
empire = dark ages

so how are the Brets not steamrolling the empire?

It's extremerely rare unless the faction has the ruin-dweller trait. Even with the trait it's still very fucking rare. In my current Chaos game the Baersonling tribe chooses to stay in one settlement, even though there are ruins right next to them that would complete the provincial rule and they just don't, for 70 fucking turns.

You should be able to tell them to via diplomacy, the same way war co-ordination is supposed to work.

>>144905072

End of the year

>>144905162
Literally the other way around.

The Empire is the HRE in the renaissance and Bretonnia is medieval France. Bret is backward as fuck.

>>144905426
It is though.

>>144905480
Don't worry its coming late July.

>>144905162
Uhhhh, you sure you know which is which? In any case, the Empire doesn't steamroll Bretonnia because they have far bigger threats to take care of to send their armies to capture Bretonnia, which isn't really a good reward for the effort it would take. Also the Lady of the Lake would probably do something about it, and even though I think the Empire would end up defeating her it's simply not worth it. Also Bretonnia is among the forces of Order, so killing them off when Archaon is just about to stroll down with his dick out is just retarded.

Speaking of which
There's no cutscenes for beating the game, for quest battles, for winning the game, for losing the game, for factions being destroyed, for new units, for most events.

There's no speeches, no tutorial campaign, no unique advisors, no quest chains or a cool text adventure/specially designed levels, forcing lords in multiplayer, and no town view.

The more I play this game the more I feel like it was rushed to release and needed at least another year.

>>144906703

That map is 100% made up, nothing further East than Rhün or further south than Harad ever got names and Tolkien never drew or described a map that looks like this.

I build them in lieu of knights since I know I'm having a fort built in Reikland within the first 10-15 turns or so. I actually didn't get demigryphs 'til well after the chaos invasion, and desu I think I like Reiksguard better in most armies. Demigryphs are an elite "kill anything 1v1" unit but you can take 3 reiksguard, lump em together and spam right click on a part of the enemy line and fucking hammer them through clear to the other side with minimal losses. There's a weight of numbers there that I like having around until steam tanks can do the job.

Are you serious, why would it be the most desirable.

All the other games large/ultra is a decent amount, like 300-375. This is just pathetic. I was going to buy this game but if the ultra unit size is only going to be like 120 or something then that is game breaking for me. Does this mean you can have like 60 units in an army or what, it can't be that small.

Alright /twg/, think of the last Total War faction you played as.

Got it? Good.

You are the racial leader of that faction when an angry, bloodied Dwarf from Karak Norn approaches you. He says "Do you think we will suffer this indignation? Our demands are simple!"

The dwarf then hands you the legal papers to make Karak Norn your vassal, along with a payment of 900 gold.

What do you do?

>>144921829

Man i am not even trying to meme or anything, i was really looking forward to Warhammer and then i see this shit. People praising optimization, yeah theirs no lag because theirs 1/5 of the fucking units every other game had. I just find it flat out retarded why the unit sizes are that small, is it to balance magic if so then it's quite the trade off. Honestly pretty bummed, i don't want to go play a TW i have played for hundreds of hours already.

Guess i will just wait for the next one to come out and sporadically play Attilla or Shogun when i have an itch.

I've played in 1080p most of my life, will the switch to 1440p be mindblowing to me as someone that plays Total War a lot?

My other choice is a 1080p144hz but I've been told 144hz isn't a big deal.

Calm down. I was just saying 90 as a random number. And if you had read a single reason behind it. It was because magic does not scale at all. So playing with a large unit size will fuck your shit right up familia.

And yes if you'd calm down a General can only field at max I've seen around near 4k soldiers. Orcs get WAAAAAGH reinforcements so you can get all the Orcs and soldiers your heart desires.

Death has Spirit Leech and the least amount of useless spells. Metal has pretty good buffs/debuffs if you're fighting armoured troops.

>>144923139

Death is the best for Damage, Bjuna for whole units and spirit leech for single targets.

Fire and Metal have good buffs/debuffs.

>>144923309
>Faith of Bijuni
Fate of Bjuna* Had to google it.

What perks do I give to Grimgor ?

>>144923180

Fuck that noise, even buying that shit off of a keysite i will be paying out the ass.

>>144923446

Weapon Damage

Grimgor likes to get stuck in.

>>144923446
Weapon Damage and Health. Don't bother with melee attack, defense and armour, these stats need more than +15 to make a difference.
Rest is campaign skills

once again regional occupation was a mistake. in my next campaign I'll definately use the mod. I've been in a stalemate for days now since the greenskins have conquered the dwarves and my vamp cunt armies can't go up in the mountain without taking attrition and they won't replenish after battles. so I'll destory their settlements but they just resettle and then threaten my lands so I'm fighting neverending doomstacks of greenskins instead of conqueriong ht rest of the empire. this sucks

>>144923446
The combat ones, since Grimgor is one of the best lords at fighting in the game

So in multiplayer is it worthwhile to actually upgrade units?

>>144923730
hasn't been worth it since Emprire afaik.

last game it made a difference was Medieval 2

What can't CA do with the setting that they couldn't charge for? They're using a setting designed from the ground up to sell more models.

>unique hero DLC
>unique lord DLC
>unique unit DLC
>unique minor faction DLC
>unique scenario DLC
>unique major faction DLC with all of the above for possibilities

The amount of things they could charge for are endless. And this being Warhammer, it will sell, and with this being CA, people will bitch after mindlessly buying them but line up to buy the next one

>>144923676
>Don't bother with melee attack, defense

What? Doesn't higher defense lower the enemy's chance to hit whereas attack increase yours, and the calculations are done by subtracting them and then rng? That means without those he will suck when dueling melee lords. Will still be good against trash mobs though, until he gets tired anyway.

>mfw I was drunk and actually bought the saints and heroes unit pack for Shogun 2

Next day I checked it out and felt like I never got jewed that hard before.

>>144924074
I don't know about the others, but I don't really use him to duel. His big ass just wades in with his black orcs and kills 9-10 units per swipe of his axe, absolutely tanks anything's morale to be in combat with grimgor for a few seconds.

Lords I'll fight if they come his way or if the lord is in a melee Grimgor can reach, but I don't treat him as a duelist.

>playing empire campaign after a VC and a dorfs game
>never got to fight greatswords as the empire self destructed within 30 turns in both of those
>surely they can't be that much better than their other infantry /twg/ is just memeing on me like usual
>70 more armour than regular troops
>nearly 10% more unit health
>armour piercing
>anti infantry
Hahahahahaha what the fuck is this stupid shit. Bite the fucking pillow manny I'm going in dry.

>>144923139

Death is superior to anything else because spirit leech, then metal with the buffs and final transmutation which is an inferior spirit leech but still ok, then fire whicj has a buff to 58 melee attack to a single unit for a short time and the only vortex spell able to damage in the game right now, the flaming skull

>>144924254

Shogun 2 DLC is painfully shitty

>>144904687
last time they didn't even make it through in my game

WEZ GONNA KILL EM

>>144924435
Transmute is not a leech, transmute affects an area and can wreak absolute havoc in a mosh pit if you aim it right.

And by absolute havoc, I mean it's going to do a decent amount of damage that might make you feel like it was worth the overcasting because it's still magic and this game shits on wizards.

>>144924298
In my campaign I was using him to kill lords since he kills most lords pretty fucking quickly, quickly enough that he doesn't take any significant amount of damage from them. It can be hard to deal with them efficiently otherwise.

>>144924675

Trasmute is a spirit leech, read the spell it does like 100 damage to not single entities.

Enjoy fashionable rape.

>>144924769
It says it does high damage to single targets, but you can cast it over an area. Better for you if you get some lords or heroes in there as well, but I've always had best results tossing it overcasted into the biggest brawl happening on the field. It doesn't do shit damage to large units, it kills as many as you'd think a vortex should because it doesn't leave. And breaking a hole in the line I can push my dick through means more in the end than aiming specifically for one lord.
