THIS ACTION DOES NOT HAVE MY CONSENT!

Increase Demigryph cost from 1400 to 2100
Greatsword armour from 100 to 65
Accusation doesn't do direct damage and instead increases damage taken, moreso from the witch hunter than from other units

The Warhammer cucks came, and thus, the /twg/ posters of old were scattered to the wind.

Some took up refuge in /his/ but were driven out by the xenophobic inhabitants

Some went to /pol/ to shitpost and make fun of greeks. But it did not last and they too were driven out.

Without a land to call their own the /his/fags and /twg/ posters of old wandered the world, looking for a place to call their home

Historyfag here, we've just gone into horde mode and have camped up in the thread owned by fantasyfags

Eventually they will fuck up and then we will capture back our thread.

Until then we will just be comfy and accumulate growth and money slowly.

I don't even have anything against warhammerfags here even though i don't own the game or intend to, i just like all TW players.

Current campaign progress at turn 76. Sylvania continues to stabilize and I've done some ork stomping in the mountains in preparation for the Ghal Maraz quest battle. Chaos Warriors are active and the first chaos event has obviously happened, norscans are a bigger threat though, they actually sacked one of my towns before I got some armies in position to deal with them.

They always are, Chaos generally gets gangbanged and stomped a bit past Kislev. Meanwhile, the Norscans rampage around your northern provinces with 10+ full stacks they've somehow managed to raise from a loose collection of tribal villages. It's fucking bullshit.

>>145184645

Isn't there a second chaos event though that spawns a few more fullstacks? Oh and norscans are kinda bad at warfare, they seem to have lousy unit selections, maruaders, trolls, chariots, hounds and none of that can stand up to the sorts of havoc the empire can unleash. I didn't even have any demigryphs in this fight and they still got their asses kicked.

>>145186069
You have to give them a clear shot and they're for anti-large/armour

Whereas quarellers can just sit behind your troops and shit on everything

but my Steam profile is literally the only piece of social media/gaming profiles I am invested in.

What are the best Black Art/Vampire spells?

Obviously Raise Dead, and I've heard Fate of Bjuna is good but what else?

>>145184978
There is apparently a Clan Ullek, "a clan that can trace their lineage to Ullek Redaxe."

>>145186373
Yeah, handgunners/pistoleers for empire are pretty fucking lame so it'd be them

They're not awful but they're weak compared to the rest of the army and mounted skirmishers doesn't really work well with lower rate of fire

>>145186504
I believe so

>>145186529
Soul Leech and Bjurna really

Nothing in lore of vampires is that strong, you just want the heals if anything

>>145186529

All you need are Spirit Leech and Fate of Bjuna

Unless you use mods you can practically ignore all other spells.

>>145186069
Vanilla handgun units are used against armored and large units, like these guys said.

>>145186139

>>145186572

>>145186969

>tfw ugly borders
how do I fix this

>>145187540
Whether or not you'll find the genre good is subjective, I'd recommend maybe pirating another title first to see if you like the concept. Otherwise wait for denuvo to crack or the steam sale.

Remember that there aren't many Warhammer factions in at the moment.
It's fairly easy to get into for a total war title, not really buggy, could do with a bit of balance; but it's been out for long enough to start expecting a patch soon.
It isn't really a difficult game up until a certain point where it's extremely difficult. You could always play on shitter settings and probably avoid that though.

>>145187540
Yes it is easy to get into. The newer total wars are market towards casuals so there nothing complex to learn. Game suffers because of that imo.

>>145187634
Having 100 armour for GS doesn't make sense for balance, in the fluff or TT crunch

>>145187889
>not playing on an SSD

>>145187960
finish off vampires quickly, confederate the rest

>>145188001
>fluff

They are specifically the most armoured non hero infantry unit on the TT and in the lore for the Empire, and have only slightly less than Chosen. What are you smoking.

>>145187540

Early game is harder than some other TW games because a lot of factions are surrounded by like 3 people they are at war with and things can move a bit fast on harder difficulties. I still believe that Shogun 2 is the best to start off with because the units are relatively easy to get the hang of, as you'll use one of the starting ones for pretty much the entire game. Warhammer might be a good second choice though because there's only two preset formations, less abilities for individual units, etc.

>>145187889
does anyone else get this crash

after a battle the game stops responding at this point of the loading bar

I had a grudge to assassinate a Top Knotz
I beat the Top Knotz 50 turns ago
I raided my own southern province to spawn a Top Knotz rebel army
I assassinated the character
The Grudge is still active
The campaign victory condition is to have no grudges

I also need a level 15 Master Engineer.

I have already conquered all dwarf and greenskin lands for 30+ turns now

Do I give up and play a new campaign?

>>145189249
Take the short victory

>>145189249
holy shit that guy looks like a teacher i had

>>145189336

This grudge has severity 20

>>145189249
You just needed to eradicate the faction you dumb dumb

>>145189526
I eradicated them 50+ turns ago, it's not gone anywhere

>>145189249
>>145189526
could you let the rebels have the province?

>>145189586

I've heard a lot of complaints about grudges and dwarven victory conditions.

Would make me even less likely to play the stunties if that value wasn't already at 0.

>>145189658
I don't know if that would help, nearby some Border Prince Rebels captured a town and now the Border Prince armies are raiding the Border Prince Rebels

I don't think the "X Rebels" faction is the same as "X" is what I meant to say

>>145189673
No they're eradicated completely

I use two mods, the one that gives extra skill points after level 10 and the one that gives +10% movement in your own provinces

But I think I beat the Top Knotz when I hadn't installed any mods yet.
Some other faction's grudge disappeared when I defeated them, just not the Top Knotz

>>145189889

once the rebels takes it, it becomes that faction again

>>145189889
are they confederated into another orc clan? have you wiped out alllllll the orcs?

Why even play if you're not playing multiplayer? Seriously, singleplayer campaigns are universally easy whereas multiplayer can provide actual tactical depth. Are SP players just in it for the ebin visuals?

>>145190123
The game is mostly designed around singleplayer. Multiplayer is fairly unbalanced. You're right about the relative difficulty of course but a child could make than an observation.
I'm playing a bit of both at the moment. They could do with some multiplayer stat-tracking though.

>>145189796
I personally never ever settled any hero action grudges. I barely settled any grudges at all to be honest. I just conquered/destroyed every ennemy faction and that cleared the grudges everytime.

>>145190381
Yes. 2p only Only really works for co-op, as otherwise you'll probably try to blitz down the other human player as by far the largest threat, and then it just returns to singleplayer.

Co-op is kinda weird functioning as is, given that very few combinations of races mesh together. Empire and Dwarves are the only combo that really make sense right now.

There is a mod that splits up the Legendary lords and gives them each to a second faction, so you can co-op the same faction that way.

>>145190675
Could do with another dozen hellcannons to be quite honest with you.

No

>>145191276
The best advice is to only have one and exterminate the rest.

>>145191276
You have 2 armies, one goes top one bottom and raze EVERYTHING until only one settlement is left. Then subjugate them and pump them full of money, you should have plenty at that point. They'll re-colonize the rest of the north albeit slowly.
I try to keep Varg alive since it seems they keep their original, full stack spamming, annoying AI. From turn 100 onwards or so they become as big of a pain in the ass for the other factions as they are to the player normally.

Is 4 ranged units too much?

7 shield infantry, 7 quarrelers, 4 cannons, 1 lord 1 master engineer

>>145191818
Depends what they are and what you're facing.
Against archer and ranged cav spam(seems to be early orcs and empire) you want a fair bit of range.
Apart from that, not really. Just a bit of artillery'll do mostly.

>>145191640
>pump them full of money
This step is completely unnecessary. The AI doesn't pay anything to recolonize anyway and the Norsca tribes already shit money.

>>145191818
I have 8, so no 4 is good

>>145189889

You need to get the "A Faction emerges" pop-up

That doesn't happen until the rebels take a settlement and become an actual faction again

The fact that you assassinated a guy from what "Top Knots rebels" they need to capture a settlement to become the Top Knots.

If the Border Princes still exist then their rebels won't recreate their faction upon taking a settlement, it's different when a faction has already been wiped out

I got total war warhammer. Been playing dwarf as my 1st game. Apparently the Chaos tide has come up and now corruption has become a problem. Looking around I don't see a way to help keep Chaos corruption from going up. What's a good way to keep corruption down as a dwarf.

>>145192385

They're for assassinate/Block Army

They're not worth the slot to bring into battle, especially once you can field Ironbreakers

>>145192432
Spears are cheap as hell and can hold for quite a bit longer when stretched as thin as possible, great if you plan to do your killing with flanking cav. They also perform excellent in auto-resolve.

>>145192491
Research those techs, and use the upgraded commandments everywhere. Slayer shrines aren't really something you want everywhere but worth it on provinces bordering chaos rifts if you use that mod. Otherwise start drowning your settlements in mead because corruption is gonna happen whether you like it or not.

white wine is only good when you run dry of red wine at the open bar wedding, and you're already drunk enough to avoid asking for another bottle of red, so you pour yourself white because up until that point nobody had touched white past 'starting' with it because it's fucking white

>>145195582

You can leave small gaps in your line for the guns to shoot through though they won't be as effective as if they had a clear sight.

4-5 ranged units

2 guns 2 crossbows if 4, 2 guns 3 crossbows if 5

The only worthwhile units in their entire roster are boar chariots, savage big uns and black orks.

We used to have a synctube or whatever it's called, and watch every friday and sunday at a designated time. I miss those days. It made me feel like I actually had friends.

their chariots blow ass greenskins are about actually utilizing a full army structure. their troops are flimsy, but they have something for every role. goblin wolf riders are unsung heros for instance. 300 gold, and some incredibly fast light cav. poison arrow night goblins can swing a skirmish in your favour, and pretty much every savage orc unit can dick up the armour-piercing-meta. also >>145197162

doom divers are insanely good artillery.

spider rider arrow dudes are some of the best mounted cav in the game. which isn't really saying much, but hey. giants and spiders are incredibly strong as well.

Does anyone have any tips to defeat Chaos in battle when playing as the Empire? I usually win, but I always take heavy losses.

the official (beta) tool you can download from steam shows what all those values are
open the table in that on a second monitor or something, that's what I do
one of the most fun values to modify is impact strength (or whatever it's called), just set that to 1000 and see what happens

Greatswords and Demigryphs

>>145197329
guns and greatswords. steam tanks if you can afford them.

How many heroes do you have in your armies?
I have Franz, 2 Wizards, a Witch Hunter, and a Captain. Is that too much?

>>145197497
I think their flying animation looks hilarious, so I can never take them seriously.

who /euro 2016/ here?

>>145197932
Why would you have 2 wizards? They just use up eachothers magic

>>145197713
>letting them fight spearmen
>>145197728
I really liked them in my vamp vh campaign. Great for sieges to fuck up dudes on the walls. Great at sniping siege units and ranged units, especially helpful against hell canons.

Treat them like the fragile fast hitter they are. Ignore terrain, high speed and ignore walls.

>>145197932
One wizard is plenty, you don't have enough magic to make full use of two of them.

>>145197932
the only faction I stack heroes with is Vamp, they're just too good not to use, except necromancer
