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.

That problem is like 4 times worse in the show than it is in the books, and it's already fairly bad in the books.

The fact that events have been shifted around in relation to each other and essential plotlines and characters deleted for the sake of brevity means that half the characters no longer have anything resembling coherent motivations, much less COMPELLING motivations.

No, you cannot. Paradox games can do that simply because of how hilariously simple the actual DLC pack is as it's a rar file.
You don't need them though, since they for the most part only unlock factions for player use (the AI gets them whether or not you've bought the associated DLC) or add semi-scripted campaigns to the game. Get the blood pack though.

But even the fucking Chinks don't think RoTK is accurate or meant to be accurate, the actual histories of the period are available and don't, for example, mention Zhang Fei holding a bridge by himself, but they DO mention him basically rusing Cao Cao into thinking there was a huge relief force on the way at the bridge.

I'll take it. Quick question, if you have a Lord wipe out and his army destroyed to the last man does he return at some point like hero's do? Or is it permanent death for them?

Also, is it just me or are VC the cheesiest faction? Most of my battles against the AI involve using Manfredd or a Vamp hero on a Hellsteed flying over and using Spirit Leech or fate of bjuna to wipe out Lords and high value units. Without death magic they'd pretty much get fucked in the ass by everyone as far as I can tell.

>>146058175
Most generic lords die a perma-death, but plenty where those came from. Legendary Lords die for 5 or fewer turns and then are available for re-recruitment later.

If you want to play a less Death magic reliant VC army I'd recommend going down the beast tree research and grabbing some bats/wolves/vargheists/terrorgheists for your army. Others have attested to the efficacy of crypt horrors, which I cannot confirm.

Maize didn't exist in Europe at the time when Caesar wrote the Commentaries

>>146058890
American readers should be cautioned that the word "corn" in British usage can refer to any cereal grain, especially whatever is the principal grain of a region. Caesar therefore speaks of "corn" (frumentum), although he of course knew nothing of the New World cultigen that the British call "maize."

Space Total War when?

>>146058317
Cool, thanks bro.

I always think the bats and wolves are weak as fuck, plus I'm pretty late game now so they are outclassed by everything. Terrorgheists are cool but never seem to do quite enough damage. Great for fending off missile cav and artillery if you can stop them being bum rushed by infantry but all their units seem at best so-so to me. Grave guards are decent damage sponges I guess and cairn wraith seem to be good flanking infantry. Their cav is only OK though, even the hexwraiths and shock cav. All their units seem a bit underwhelming late game and it's really only death magic that stops them getting their shit pushed in as far as I can tell. They go from Varghulfs being able to solo armies early game to only being alright late on.

So I learned this battle that if you stick narrow columns of handgunners in between high threat units like greatswords or halberdiers in your battle line the AI is not inclined to attack them, allowing them to pepper away with minimal micro the entire battle.

Had 4 units of them and they noscoped almost 1000 orcs between them.

Also if you can't be fucked with keeping tabs on your outriders, just putting them right behind your frontline regiments allow them to shoot over them from their horses throughout the battle.

>>146059574
I find the main trick with VC is morale breaking. Half the time my units wouldn't get a massive number of kills just because we break enemy infantry faster than we kill them. And yeah, your flying monsters work like cavalry that are faster, more manoeuvrable but more difficult to disengage. I usually just send them after missile cav or into the backs of a melee line. It does make it a pain to fend off the Chaos stacks though, which are generally full of heavy infantry that win in melee decisively and don't take very much morale damage.

>>146059957

Thank god.

Maybe before too long the /his/shits will finally have fucked off for good and the true inheritors of the Eternal General will reign.

I'm sure I'll get the better of them soon though, cheer m8.

This is Thermopylae on the coast of mainland Greece. I'm Matthew Settle.

In August 480BC, an army of only 7000 men led by Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought here against a quarter-million strong invasion force led by Xerxes, the King of Persia. At stake: the future of Greek civilization.

Now with new video game technology, you are about to see this great battle as never before. The vast numbers of soldiers, the troop formations, how they fought and how the battle was won. Get the view the generals wish they had: now, on Decisive Battles.

As the Empire, should I expand South/West into Bretonnia and Estalia and Tilea, or North/East into the rest of the Empire?

>>146070759

South/West is better. Bretonnia's only real threat early game are their infantry, which are actually pretty decent, but their AI normally Cav spams.

Estalia and Tilea are basically the Empire Lite.

Most importantly, by going South-west you leave all your allies to deal with those Skaeling and Chaos shits. You also have great natural borders in the sea, as Skaeling basically never sail that far west, meaning you can leave the new provinces all but unguarded.

Uniting the empire might be the most obvious option but letting the other provinces grow strong is really useful for when chaos invades. Ostland had all of the northern empire while I had all of the south in my game. We wrecked the chaos shits hard.

Marienburg is something you definitely should conquer fast though.

I heard a lot of people had that problem but that never happened to me. It might have been because Ostland got really strong early in my game and kept beating back all the norscan naval invasions.

Just camp shitloads of soldiers in Marienburg, and build a wall in Gorssel.

The enemy AI basically never attacks walls, so you've got 10+ turns to march an army over.

And if they do attack they'll lose, because the Garrison + Towers will probably annihilate most of their army, and they've got literally nothing but Marauder cav and dogs as a threat.

True true. So what they stayed with matchlocks until the fall of the Shogun?

Didn't they add ironsights to their matchlocks though? That's an invention

>Bretonnia

Does this faction exist purely to be conquered by the Empire? I mean, they use massed cavalry when the baseline Empire trooper uses a spear.

Their only threat are their infantry, which they rarely ever make enough of.

>>146074204
They exist to defend the code of chivalry and protect the realm

>>146074204
The paper/rock/scissor system of total war doesn't reflect the reality or the table top game.

>>146074204

you should see their blood bowl team

>>146074272

And to get BTFO by the Empire?

Also, isn't the Lady actually an Elf Goddess who's been tricking them into being her guards for the last few thousand years?

>>146074460
Not really, the Empire has many other actual problems to deal with and Bretonnia is sometimes a decent ally

Yes, they are elf cucks

>>146074460
In the lore, she genuinely does care about the brettonians, and I read in the lore once that it's not too uncommon to see brettonian lords and errant knights in wood elf banquets but yeah, she's been fooling them about the whole "living goddess" thing.

>>146074380

To be fair, an army consisting of 90% cavalry should get absolutely beat the fuck out by an army consisting mostly of Spearmen, Halberdiers and gunmen/crossbowmen, even in reality.

There's also the fact that basically all Knights hold positions of authority, so there should be a power struggle after basically every major fight they have, win or lose, as there's now tons of open positions.

>>146074460

The Lady is one of the Elven Gods yes, but I don't see how you can argue that she is "tricking" them

They don't provide any kind of real service for her, she doesn't do it for the Wood Elves (Who she is on cool terms with) and the blessings she gives the Bretonnians are very real.

Her care for the Bretonnian people is genuine, as the world ends she even takes the founder of Bretonnia to be her husband.

>>146074457
Now I'm curious, how does their BB team looks like?

>>146074725
The founder is the Green Knight, I'm guessing?

Man, what a stud.

>He doesn't want a qt elf mistress to sit on his face.

>>146074679
No. There are many more factor in a real battle than muh rock-paper-scissor.

And cavalry>all in the table top game, which why they're always so expensive.

All plans must be done in Orc speak hence forth.

>>146074752

completely mundane humans but with bad skill access
their knights have passing and the linemen are as sturdy as wood elves. also no big guy, whilst regular humans at least get an ogre

they just get smashed to pieces by orcs/chaos/ect. and outmaneuvered by elves

Here's what Bretonnia has to deal with:

Orcs, occasionally.
A single shitty vampire faction.
Druchii raiders, every so often.

Here's what the Empire has to deal with:

Orcs all the time.
Beastmen living in basically every single forest.
Skaven living under basically all their cities (Though barely anyone in the Empire actually knows this)
Norse raiders all the time
Massive faction(s) of Undead living right on their doorstep
Massive hordes of daemons and chosen warriors pouring out of the North every few hundred years

Only Kislev possibly has it harder.

The Empire has bigger things to worry about than the occasionally useful Kingdom to the west.

But yes, the full might of the Empire would walk all over Bretonnia.
