Just one Hellcannon so you can lure AI into attacking and trying to flank it. Chosen are kind of crap so Forsaken are probably the optimal choice for infantry.

>>145401016
Wrong, since theres no price limit in chaos' dosh filled campaign, chosen are literally always going to be better than forsaken. You'd be right if you were talking multiplayer.

>>145400307
Chosen and a hellcannon pretty much.

So around turn 30 chaos invaded and i was tasked to defeat three stacks with my two empire stacks. Turns out my computer is a potato, because once everything got underway my game ran like Myst, even on low.

What do? It's gonna be a year before i can afford a new $1300 system. Current specs: AMD [email protected], 8gb ram, radeon r9 270x, game is installed on ssd if that matters. Built in late 2014.

>>145401346
If they do, it doesn't maker them better than chosen. Chosen are likely the strongest infantry in the game, the thing dragging them down (by a lot) is cost. People only bitch about them because they are beyond useless in multiplayer.

AI diplomacy is full retard on higher difficulties. On my most recent Empire campaign I had to pay out the ass to get a trade agreement with Bretonnia and they were the only ones that would accept anything. Then once Chaos's first wave showed up as I was in the middle of removing fang faces from Imperial clay literally every nation broke all treaties with me.

Naturally the entire world was sucking my dick once wave 2 hit and I was able to vassalize half of the world and MA + Trade the other half, but still.

Also the Great Power malus is bullshit, it prevents you from treating with weaker nations that need your help so that when you come in and save them from the greenskins or vamps that are sieging all of their towns they hate you more for it.

is Sigvald good? I see him talked about a lot here or is he just a meme?

According to 99% of the anons here, his bonuses are bad, and while he's not "bad", he's not good when compared to arch or kholek.

His quest armor does give him a regen effect, though how good it is I don't know.

>>145410070
They were probably too preoccupied with survival to bother developing a better pointy stick to poke other people with

>>145410087
They have the best archers in the game, their spear units is very cost effective and the yeoman and knights of the realm also are pretty decent for their cost. Which is NOT the case of grail knights.

Pegasus knights are also decent flying units to counter other flying units but are a bit too expensive imo; The trebuchet is also very good

>>145409985
They're dragon ogres. The shaggots are like super fast chaos giants so they're great. The normal ones are also pretty good as cavalry, if expensive.

>>145410175
They weren't actually. Only the minority of tribes in those areas lived in harsh conditions and those were usually the more war-like ones that DID develop better technology.
They could keep living by simple hunting and gathering (which is a terribly ineffective strategy to get food) because of how easy it was for them.

Necessity is the mother of invention and they could get by without it for the most part.

>>145410070
The vast majority of the day was spent trying to scrape together enough calories to feed yourself and any children that managed to survive childbirth,disease, and African wildlife so there wasn't much time to spend on making pointier sticks or killing each other. When tribal disputes did happen they were typically settled with combat that was more like dodgeball with spears than actual warfare and people rarely died from it. The possibility of actual warfare was there but too costly to pursue since the deaths of even a handful of men meant a bunch more women and children back home starved to death.

>>145410259
>They have the best archers in the game


Considering their competition are orc and goblin archers, that really says nothing.

>their spear units is very cost effective

And yet they are still complete shit, just at reasonable price AKA Bretonnian version of skellingtons.

>yeoman and knights of the realm also are pretty decent for their cost.

Not exactly high praise, all things considered.

>Pegasus knights are also decent flying units to counter other flying units

So only really useful against VC then, which can swarm Pegasi with much lower cost and expendable flying units, and more than likely even kill them.

This leaves them with one arguably good unit, 2 decent ones, one designated throwaway unit and overpriced garbage for the rest. Compared to the other factions, they are beyond shit. And the worst part is, they will hardly get any more units, unless CA is allowed to create their own.

>>145410689
Oh and this >>145410709 doesn't contradict what I said. It's just the result of it, their population was kept low as hunting and gathering isn't effective enough to produce the huge population surplus that made farming, domesticating animals and bigger communities necessary.

>>145409810

I'm just hoping that they do a complete overhaul of the faction come release.

Rebalanced stats for them, cool mechanics, more units, etc.

Bretonnian cavalry need to hit like a fucking tank, not the shit show they are now

>>145409883

>Pretty much only the northern and southernmost parts of Africa really had anything happen historically, the rest of the continent was essentially stuck in subsistence level tribal bullshit for pretty much all of history.

Except that's wrong. West Africa saw a ton of shit happen, especially around the Sahel, and you had what more or less could be described as kingdoms from what is now Ghana down to the coastal Congo.

Africa is more like 4-5 areas of civilization or something approaching it, separated by impassable jungles or deserts.

It's boring compared to the rest of the world because hardly any of these areas interacted with anyone else, and each is really small in comparison to the entirety of connected Eurasia.

So if they're adding Cygors, wouldn't that technically make them monstrous artillery? They throw giant fucking rocks, so I really hope they'll get to fuck shit up

>>145410860
Brettonia doesn't need a lot more units, they just need to be balanced around their factional strengths.

As a kingdom devoted to their heavy cavalry, they should deploy all of their knights for a much lower cost than other units of the same role in other factions. And Grail Knights should either match or surpass Demigryphs.

Your knowledge of the game is appaling

>>145411329
I'm running a stepped line with 6 handgunners at the moment as Dwarfs, instead of the usual Quarrelers. If you move them slightly back from the main line then the enemy tends not to charge them and they will massacre anything that comes in to engage your infantry. It also has the added advantage of making your battle line longer.

Well but Quarrelers will massacre most infantry even more simply because they have a faster fire rate and Thunderers are only really good against armored targets, also it's way easier to keep them shooting effectively during a battle AND they're cheaper.
If you spam ranged you should spam Quarrelers and only have 1 or 2 units of thunderes to snipe high armor threats.

You mean the rifle dudes right? Because the crossbowmen can, which is why they're about 10 times better

I really hate this. Thunderers and handgunners should have a much higher base missile damage, so that their DPS is higher even with their lower rate of fire.

Slaanesh is not subtle. Tzeentch, maybe, but not Slaanesh. You don't get to be Prince of Excess with subtle.

been playing a bit of quickbattle and I'm generally fine when i get 2v2s but in 3v3s everything moves sluggish like its at half speed.
My fps still displays at like 20~ or so which is usually fine.

Anyone else experienced this? Not sure if it's my australia net or my shit rig or the netcode.

Buddy I think that mod actually makes the AI recruit MORE infantry. It was created to combat empire mortar stacks and stacks of chaos mounted marauders. But I think if you look through the files you'll find an area that tells the AI how much weight each unit is for recruitment, and you can adjust those numbers. Not sure if it goes per faction or what.

No. Unless you are using miners and (vanilla) slayers, those are shit units.

Pretty sure its all lore friendly, decently made overall. But some of the new knights look a bit lame though tbqh. The colour is just not well done on Encarmine and Blazing Sun knights. Morr knights also look lame.

>>145421753
SS and third age did it by removing the secondary weapon which makes pikes completely unassailable from any direction because they use their fucking pikes when charged from behind negating the main downside of pikes and moving the problem from one extreme to another.

So no, they did not do it fine.

How do i play FOTS without getting my ass torn inside out?

>>145431624
build army -> acquire territory -> delete army -> develop territory

sometimes it is okay to have negative income

>>145431824
get guns and shoot the other guys

So has Games Workshop said anything about TWW? Like have they reacted to the sucess of the game at all?

>>145431963
I'm playing as Jozai, and I can't shoot all these chinks fast enough. Edo is supposed to be my ally, but they instantly attack me when I leave my base, and It's nearly impossible for me to fight them toe-to-toe.

Get high-quality gun units and artillery as fast as possible.

>>145431824
If you have superior artillery you force them to run into your battle line, riflemen fire will break infantry after a couple of volleys. It really is as easy as that.

>>145432103
>>145432120
Alright I'll try getting artillery as fast as I can. Naval support is pretty fucking fun to use, but I guess it's just not nearly as good.

While we're talking about FoTS, has anyone managed to win a campaign with traditional units only?

>>145432296
Literally impossible

I honestly don't understand gun-based TW games
Basically AI comes at you one unit at the time and gets shot to death what the fuck

So is there a series of someone beating FOTS with traditional units?

That's modded right?

Yes, I'm using Darthmod with the Artillery Pack and Unit Pack.

>>145433165
Good, good

>>145433165
Cool. I should try it.

Funny thing. I think I've won 3 or 4 FOTS campaign but I've never gotten the research finished for gatling guns so i've ner used them.

I always end up winning even on domination vic condition.
Maybe I should go Republic

Several days in to my Ottoman campaign in Empire, and god damn is it a pain in the ass. Constant battles that always eat up my funds in replinishment.

Ok don't bother building wooden guns. One lesson at a time lads.
