>tfw just beat Ikko Ikki shits and have begun conversion to Buddhism.

So I just started a new Oda campaign and notice that Nobunaga's pretty old.

Does he typically kick the bucket before a campaign ends? I'd like to have him alive the whole time without having to rush.

It only needs a reskin mod and there are a few good ones. There's also age of vikings but income is miniscule so the game moves very slow and I wasn't that much of a fan. Neat rosters though.

I have played Attila. The Franks were my first faction. I ended up getting burnt out after stretching from Frisia to the the tip of spain. I got startled when I tried out Age of Charlemagne due to how similar my borders were. I'm taking this as my sign from Wodan to finish what I started

Yo in Attila there's a bunch of factions that form right near the start of the game like Britain

Are any of those playable?

Tamriel Rebuilt quarterly release when?

Am I crazy, or were there cutscenes in Shogun 1 where the foreigners would come and visit you for diplomacy, and would be rude the whole time?

I can't find videos of them anywhere online, and I need them, for reasons.

>>145227970
I didn't care about public order, rebels can't do shit when you have an army within 2 turns that can get to them. Even if you force march and can't attack, they will attack the settlement they're besieging automatically after one turn and lose if you've got your army into reinforcement range.
And apart form that nothing else happens with low public order.
For economy I sent a stack north to sack and raze the north, gives about 5k per settlement even if it's a bunch of shitty huts. I keep my regular income at only 2k, which means 5 full stacks.

I posted a few threads ago my first attempt at providing individual colours to units in the mods. I'm real damn happy wjtb everything but the black knights/graveguard so today I've been tweaking them. *because they didnt really look that dead with full bret colour scheme)

Charlemagne campaign, Desert and Celts units are the best because they let you play in new areas with new gimmicks

Langobards and Viking packs are weak but being a viking is cool, slavs are very powerful because of poison but boring as a setting because they're slavs

the grave guard are usually from a central place and actually fight quite well (for a jack skellington)
thats why in game you see the grave guard all following the same colour scheme (ancient undead hunters who lived in sylvania). I figured by keeping the main yellow scheme, Its close enough to be ancient undead hunters from somewhere in Mousillon

the rank and file in pic related are exactly what you are thinking anon.


>>145228880
thats actually Mousillons default colour, I kept the primaries the same for the knight units and am only messing with secondary/teritarys

>Top Knotz lost

>>145228687
As greenskins you basically want to have shit public order because it's free fightiness

>>145228315

I will give it a try though anons, just secondary colours first and you do make good points.

>>145229037
A more faded yellow would make them look a whole lot more undead as >>145229010 said. You should give a more faded primary color a try.

>>145229247
I agree with what the other guys have said, these very bright colours just don't fit on rotten fuckers somebody's dug up recently.

Are kislev properly playable with the faction unlocker or are they one of the factions with crashes?

Have they said what races they are gonna add next?

>>145231365
also, 100% frilly hats please.

Am I just bad at using them or are the top tier volley guns for empire really worse than the hellstorm rocket batteries? The range seems way too short, by the time they are in range they need to be defended so they will just friendly fire whoever is in front of them, and it's not like you can flank or reposition them with how unmobile they are.

Also they don't look nearly as sick as volleys of flaming rockets raining down on your enemies and screaming through the air and exploding.

What's the best "AI agent nerf" mod available right now? I don't like the one that removes ALL aggressive AI actions, but it also pisses me off that AI agents apparently get:

>huge success bonuses
>higher agent recruitment caps (whereas the player is limited by buildings)
>action cost in $ is minimal for the AI due to their hidden economic bonuses
>bonuses against assassination by player agents
>don't seem to receive the -50% success chance buff player agents do
>possible XP bonuses?
>etc.

I get that the AI needs lots of help and crutches because the player's going to be beating it constantly, but super agents that constantly succeed and can (almost) never be killed is just absurd.

>>145232272
Yeah the agents are really fucking annoying in this game.

>>145239425
cavalry shreds them due to mobility. you still need some orc boyz, and big uns to hold em down though

playing orcs on very hard, should I even bother using trolls?

they seem pretty useless so far, even if I try to keep them swarmed with orcs so they don't route they do it anyway and cause other units to route too

>>145239706
they worked ok for me but you're probably better off with a giant, or more black orcs.

>>145239425
>>145239531
I really wouldn't recommend wolf riders against dwarfs, at least use boar boys.
The goblin shitters will get destroyed by quarrellers, and NPC's often have 5+ of them in each army early game
Depends on difficulty though.

i only just unlocked the trolls and cant get either of those yet

ill keep my two units but i doubt ill make any more. the regen is nice though

So there went like how many hours.

Total Bullshit. Fucking Chaos Stacks out of nowhere sieged Altdorf, and all my armies were fucked and couldn't get there in time so my income tanked, and all my armies would have burnt out from attrition by the time they got there, Franz and two others were smashing the Greenskins, Gelt was up in Nordland killing Varg shits, and two others were busy defending Averland from some random Skaeling shits.No way they would have all made it in time.

That is completely retarded, All my income apparently came from that one city.

It was also fucked because I had the entirety of Brettonia frog nations, Marienburg-Reikland-Nordland-Wissenland-Averland-Sylvania-and Stirland and I barely would make more than 2000 or less gold per turn.

Never had this income or Chaos problem as Greenskins. By the same amount of turns I had roughly 30,000 income.

I'm so very mad that the one time I leave Altdorf undefended, Chaos makes a BEELINE straight for it and I didn't notice. Legendary a shit.

Any tips on how to deal with the Sassanigs as the White Huns? I can beat them in a straight up fight generally but their gorillion vassals keep shitting stacks at me.

Did you eventually win?

>>145240097

I recently and painfully finished a legendary Empire run. I pretty much fucked up Middenheim, Nordland and the Ostland/Ostermarks. That said, you can bully the fuck out of pretty much everyone until the turn 100 chaos invasion starts. Then you can get alliances with people you were just murdering. The best thing to do in my opinion, is to slap Nordlands face in after killing Middenheim. Skaelings come down, so I left Karl Franz and won a few tough battles, eventually having Karl go north and razing a few of their ports before getting chased out. At the same time, I had 2 armies go for Sylvania. Wissenland never loved me, but they never actually attacked me so they became a big ally after absorbing Averland. There was a bit of diplomacy, but for the most aprt, it's about creating a big buffer of your own lands between Archaeon and Altdorf. Bretonnia seems to hop on your dick pretty easily, so I had a valuable trade partner and reliable defense from the south. So I only had to look north. I really don't know if theres an easy way to go about it, but if you can get a big buffer, as well as a bunch of allies as soon as Mega-Archaeon comes out of the woodwork, the dumbass AIs actually help quite a bit, and help you make a united stand against him.

If you take him down around Kislev then theres no risk of him going around.

>>145241501
>lol why didn't you beat legendary chaos horde with a garrison army haha

Any decent rome 2 UI mods? Im finding it nearly impossible to stomach the game I feel a big reason is the UI taking up half my screen in battle and not being able to tell what the units are at a glance at the card.

progress made towards lords only having the skin.
at least the unit is appearing in the selection porthole and works.

I figured out whatever I have to change as well its somewhere in agent_uniforms_table under uniform name. unfortunately what I can't figure out is what uniform name would be assigned to Mousillon
however kislev for example uses the following line to assign some of its special lords.
wh_main_uniform_ksl_captain
compare that to the standard empire captain entry.
wh_main_uniform_emp_captain_campaign_01


If I can figure out how to convert
wh_main_uniform_vmp_lord_campaign_01
to a Mousillon only variant then heros are fixed.

Play whatever catches your fancy. Playing a faction just because of memes is retarded.

>>145245058
You can start with pretty much anything. Empire is definitely the most well-rounded though and has great units of every type (infantry, cav, ranged, artillery) as well as access to really powerful wizards and melee lords. So if you want to experience everything try them out. But really it doesn't matter. I would say just avoid Chaos if it's your first TW game.

Far too shallow. I've played every single Total War game, normally I'm spending weeks playing these games but I've done with this game, I haven't touched it since the first week.

If you're just after a Warhammer game, I think this will be fantastic for you, there's not that many good Warhammer Fantasy games out there.

If you're looking after a good Total War game, don't bother with this. The lessons of Rome 2 are completely unheeded with this, CA seem to have set out their stall and they're sticking to it. Rome 2, Attila and Warhammer have just continued down the road of streamlining all complexity out of their games.
I get they want the games to be accessible, but the tutorials and difficulty levels allow beginners to get into these games without taking out everything more serious fans, veteran players enjoy and even the beginners once they get to mid/end-game will find it shallow.

Because that's what this game is, shallow. The battles look fantastic, but they're over far too quickly, you don't get to admire the graphics and animations.
The engine is still the god awful one from the last couple of games so your units just end up as horrible blobs. The engine needs to go by the next game for certain.
The magic is not as impressive as they said it would be, certainly not game changing, mostly just more buffs and debuffs.
The AI actually however seems to have improved massively, I've not lost this many battles since Medieval 1.

The campaign map is pointless, a very simple puzzle game about where to place your buildings which you'll have solved by your third province anyway. There's no politics, there's barely any diplomacy or trade worth bothering with and there's just no interest in the campaign map other than getting to your next battle.

I hope they do much better in their next game.

pic very related, probably nearly every long time total war fan right now.

>>145246227

After rome II I knew this game would be bad. I get a feeling that CA is tired of these kind of games and will milk total war to death seeing there are still a lot of players that don't think before buying. I waited 6 months before buying rome II and it was still very bad and buggy. Never going to buy this one. its too bad.

>>145246227

I agree it's been watered down a bit... as in, no river battles, and siege battles that have just 1-2 walls. But the flip-side is that there's no more annoying food/sanitation nonsense to worry about and cause every province to have the same buildings for the most part.

I'm a relative newcomer to this series (started with Shogun 2 and haven't played TW for quite some time now), and I'm having a bit of trouble with battles.

It's not that I can't win battles, I've gotten to turn 90-120 in two campaigns so far with plenty of wins.

But the thing is, very quickly you end up two a full doomstack of 20 units. How am I supposed to flank the enemy effectively with cavalry when he has enough units to evenly match my own, possibly even an equal amount of cavalry? Should I stretch out my front line and keep reserves, or spearmen to fend off the enemy cavalry?

Granted your unit composition is rarely the same as the enemy's, but if I'm using four units of cavalry to flank the enemy, he's four units up on me when he hits my frontline.

Also, if my archers fire from behind my frontline at an enemy fighting my frontline, does that mean their LOS is partly obstructed by my own frontline (unless they're up on a hill)?

The worst part is reading the Q&A and having the dev mention that they will continue down this road and wont be adding more complexity.

Theres shit all to do in the campaign screen. You can keep out squalar and food if everyone hates it so much, but at least add other things to care about it.

The quest system would be nice if it was more than a handful of set battles and useless faction requests.

if your cav can't beat the enemy's 1 on 1, whittle the enemy down beforehand using ranged or support your own cav with some spears/halberds

The launch hype is wearing off, they should have capitalized on it and kept everyone in the loop instead of playing gestapo.

>>145247989

yeah they gotta keep the fanbase going, maybe they are waiting for E3?

Warriors of Chaos are DLC01, we know this.
Now if this image is true and Beastmen are going to be the third DLC and Wood Elves the fifth, what are /twg/'s guesses for the second and fourth DLC?

>>145250747
Just get an agent mod, then.

>>145251046

Bretonnia is probably the second DLC.

>>145251046
OGRE KANGZ
SKAVEN

>>145251046
Brettonia is #2
#4 will be Skaven.

>>145251046

Literally why are you bothering with him?

>>145252660
The game opens up the diplomacy menu when the AI bothers with you

>>145252660
If you'll look over on the left, you'll see I just trade with everybody I can.
Also, I usually extract 1000s of koku as payment for these trade agreements, which is why I'm so fucking rich.

I know that, but honestly I would've just taken one look at the screen, realized he was shitting me and skipped to continue my turn.

>I just trade with everybody I can
I can see that.

Can someone explain to me the difference between Melee Attack and Weapon Strengh in Warhammer?

And which one should I prioritize ?

>>145252894
Weapon Strength

>>145252894
Melee attack effects the chances of you hitting each person in your swing. Weapon strength is the damage aspect, and that's what you should prioritize.

>>145252894
difference: weapon strength is actually useful
priority: weapon strength

>>145252853
I was the one who approached him. This was his counter-offer. I laughed my ass off, screencapped, then rejected it.

So how is playing the Dwarves fun in any way?

The Greenkins literally spam stacks at you, the AI abuses the fuck out of Force March, so you can never attack them, and if you do manage to catch an army, its in a settlement with Garrison back up, or you chase them around your territory forever as they sack it, then go straight back to Force March and continue to run away. Then while you do that, the fifty other tribes in the area will run amok raiding and adding pages to the Grudge Book.

Then because of this retarded ass army system, raising a secondary army costs a ridiculous amount of dosh, and the generals 90% of the time have some kind of meme epic debuff trait.

Is there a mod that severely nerfs the shit out of Forced March, or stops the AI from cheating and abusing their infinite omnipotence knowing how far you can move or not? I can't remember having any problems like this in any other Total War

Thanks guys

Finished a Dwarfs campaign. What should I do next?

Empire seems to play similar with weaker infantry and artillery, but actually have cavalry available.

I'm thinking Greenskins, but I'm on the fence.
