Christ this general is boring. Start posting battle shots or something

>>146602008
Well it's your lucky day, because those boys want traps, not women.

So is the entire point of the Chaos campaign to see how frustrated and bored you can get before you quit and play something else?

I swear the AI is fucking passive as shit, they won't bother attacking you even if it's a 50/50 strength. They'll wait until they outnumber you 10-1 before attacking, or they'll sit in their capitols while you burn everything to the ground, and good luck taking out heavily garrisoned cities, you can't siege them with more than one stack because LOL INFIGHTING :^).

I don't think once I was attacked unless it was two or more stacks. Then you'll move on and some fucking faggot has moved in and reclaimed everything you just torched to the ground.

And holy fuck agent spam is ridiculous. I think the point I quit at was because I had fifteen agents harassing Archaon every turn.

Chaos needs a buff to how far they move in ruined territory, and in corrupted lands. These cocksuckers would just camp at the end of my movement range all the time.

Asking again: If I have several wizards/witch hunters with the +15% money skill in the same province does the effect stack?

>dogs aren't the absolute menace they were in Rome 2

Why. They were niche but powerful in Rome 2, give them a flank and they would just rip and tear. In Attila they feel super lackluster against anything that's not archers, even in a flank.

>>146604554
Now that's what I call cost efficiency

Think I'll try a Dwarf or Vampire Count campaign next. What's the bread and butter of either faction? I know for Dwarves it's Quarrellers and Ironbreakers, but what are my armies gonna be made up of before then? What Artillery is good?

What about VC?

And what are your early game conquests as either faction? I heard for VC heading into Border Prince, Tilea/Estalia is good early game. What about Dwarves?

I think the worst part of the game is the lack of alternate starting locations. When do they plan to add new factions like Brettonia, Kislev, and maybe even a Dogs of War one for the Southern Realms?

>>146604196

>>146604736
Before Ironbreakers its just standard xes + Quarrellers, they'll get you through over half the campaign honestly, if you play the fights defensively against Vampire Counts' larger units. Focusing things down with half stacks of Quarrellers is beyond over powered.

Well at least I bought a few turns to get my armies up north to settlements that actually matter

>>146604736
Dwarfs, a fuck ton of quarrelers, some dwarf warriors and a couple grudge throwers in the early game.
A fuck ton of quarrelers, some longbeards and a couple grudge throwers in the midgame.
A fuck ton of quarrelers, some iron breakers and a couple grudge throwers in the late game.

VC it depends. Abuse your heros early game, with vampires ability "the thirst" turning them into killing machines. Kemmler, throw stacks of zombies at everything, knowing that they'll die so you can weaken the enemies, and build up corpse counts so you can raise up hordes of graveguards and terrorgeists. Mannfred you might want to be a bit more refined, and use building chains to access army-construction and have higher-end armies instead of 10 stacks of zombies. Graveguards rip up infantry, and their big monsters like terrorgheists and varghulfs can be turned into sustained killing machines with proper lord/hero support. Vanguard dogs can tie up enemy ranged so the range advantage isn't as big of a deal. Fellbats can do the same, and varghulfs can actually kill the enemy ranged rather than just tie them up.

>VC
Early game spam zombies as your anvil with skelies, wolves and crypt horrors as your hammer. Don't expect your zombies to do anything but soak hits, they truely are garbage.
Later switch to having your skelies be the anvil with GG and Black Knights being your shock troops and hammer respectively.

Be sure to build at least one corruption spreading building in every province capital and to pace yourself in your conquests. Personally I ignored the empire to let them deal with Chaos themselves while I ate the boarder princes, Estalia, Tilea and then all of Bretonia. By that point you'll have enough cash to get an army or two of pure Grave Guard with monster and lancer support.

Gamey tip: after a battle with large casulties you'll be able to revive high end troops from it. Get more of those delicious casualties by sending in a support army of trash troops to literally die. Then you can replenish the troops you actually care about.

>>146605517
I bet he had huge guts

>>146604736
Probably dwarven warriors and Quarrellers. Some people swear by Grudge Throwers but I find them to be pretty trash if you don't want to sit there and aim them yourself, I like cannons.

For VC most of your armies will just be full stacks of zombies because they're quite possibly the most cost effective units in the game once upgraded. For your actual shit-slapping stacks the bulk will be made up of Grave Guards with bats and Vargheists for arty/ranged/skirmishing shits, Vargulfs/Black Knights for cavalry, and maybe a couple Terrorgheists. Really play around with unit composition, VC has very few outright bad units outside of skeles and ghouls.

Also remember that VC is stronk as fuck on their home turf, you'll most likely win any defensive wars where the enemy has to march through a couple provinces of 100% corruption to even get to you.

Balanced.

Is there any way to encourage characters to develop the Burgomeister/Merchant Councillor trait?

>nagash is dead and a myth

Except he isn't, and never has been. Even if really early editions, Nagash was coming back to life, his essence pooling in his sarcophagus in the Black Pyramid. Hell, he was even a playable character, twenty odd years ago.

The End Times bullshit was there being a need for a huge ritual with lots of rare components, when all he probably needed to speed up the process in earlier edition was a shitload of dark magic.

>>146611816
Not same anon. It seems like this first "phase" of Warhams is kind of a beta in sorts. I have around 200 hrs and I have had fun but there are a lot of things needing ironing out but its a decent start and it was a competent release.

Need some more campaign mechanics and factions but hopefully more content leads to more of both. Magic is new but needs some hard shoves over soft touch ups (as I expected).

Attila is a better game simply that its finished and had its years of updates. I think Hams will be better when it gets its content and for a first patch I can't complain except for not doing Shogun 2 MP into TWW, no excuse on that.

Also I understand wanting to make walls more prominent in sieges and there are some good things about it but I would like more of the city to push into/ defend. Also burning down villages would be fun.

Are there must have mods for Age of Charlemagne ? I just got it during the sale. Played Attila a lot before but I guess the mods are different here.

>>146614451
Probably, more interest is more money, more money more stuff they can do. I was really surprised it wasn't in the base game considering Hams is all about custom armies with custom lords and custom equipment.

I want to see gear be a little more impactful and change the damn model. It can't be too difficult to have the Reikland Runefang and Ghal Moraz having different models of KF, or the other weapons either.

But again there is some work to do but its a good game.

>>146614630
Not really, Charlemagne is pretty good all on its own. If you are really impatient find a mod that increases campaign movement, it can take a while to move across the map. It is something they did on purpose, but a lot of ADHD kiddies get really mad at it.

Because he's somehow level 25 at turn 40 so infantry does shit to him, and the only army I had available didn't have anyone with spirit leech to snipe him.

>>146617673

Karl has incredibly high armour. None of those units have decent armour penetration.

Normally, Karl would break from health loss +army loss eventually, but if he got lucky or had some item that gave him health regen, he could keep fighting for very long time.

Long enough that the Undead army would eventually start to fall apart from their own losses.

>>146617748

Just disband and replace with more dwarf warriors. Slayers won't do anything worthwhile besides killing themselves unless there's large units around.

>>146617673

Depending on his level, it could be easy,

If he has his legendary gear and a decent equipment, it wouldn't surprise me to see him fighting beyond even that.

Upkeep wise the Slayers are surprisingly cheap with Ungrum. I cross checked for that and it makes more sense to hold onto them then spend the money to recruit a Dwarf Warrior unit. Especially while I still have army slots to fill.

>>146617846
Sounds about right. Arrows just destroy them in a way the rest of the early dwarf army laughs off. That Whirling Axe thing seems to do nothing.

>>146617748

Use them to chase down feeling enemies. They're relatively fast, so they're pretty good at that.

>>146618159

>feeling enemies

Fleeing enemies, even.

Newb to TW here. I've been playing Shogun 2 and Warhammer but I always get my shit pushed in around turn 30-40. It feels like everytime I start attacking one nation every other nation declares war on me and I get my shit pushed in by 20 armies. What the fuck should I be doing in the beginning?

>ssd.
how big is your ssd?

>>146618451
building an economy and eliminating people that already hate you,also try getting trade agrements with everyone and NPA with neighbors

>>146618451

General advice?

Make Non-Aggression pacts and trade agreements with everyone you can. Pick one target, and smash them until they're dead, vassaled, or weak enough that they'll accept a peace treaty with a non-aggression pact and trade agreement tagged on.

For the Empire, the campaign I'm most familiar with, you want to smack Bastonne or Marienburg after you've united Reikland. Marienburg is better, but it's a target of opportunity. Unless you have a very big army or are very confident, wait until they attacck or are attacked by another nation, then grab marienburg asap.

Bastonne is pretty easy.

>>146618451
There's a lot of "specifics" to it. The first 20 or so turns for any given race tend to be similar with a bit of random chance/luck.

Turn 30-40 is fairly solidly into the campaign though. If I had to guess I'd say you're either over expanding, not watching diplomacy properly (who likes your enemy) or not getting a second army.

Actually I like slow movement on the campaign map. I used a slower movement mod for Rome2 last time I played that.
I hate the fact that some(most?) cities are close enough that you can go from one to the other in 1 turn, It defies all strategic possibilities.

Thanks lad. I'll start vanilla AoC tonight possibly.

so what should I do now? i'm still covered in sweat, and feel like I was just in a real battle.

where do I go with my life now?

>>146620150

Doom Divers are way too good.

My strategy for dealing with them in the early empire campaign is literally hiding everyone in the woods, while the orcs get closer, then rushing it. This actually works pretty well, as the Orcs AI means that it sends units scattered over the map looking for me, so tpyically I get a minute or two not having to deal with a unit or two of goblins.

It would help if I had the Reiksguard, but Karl's army (that is to say, the good one) is typically in Eilhart by the time the orcs arrive in Grunburg.

Is it just me, or do Empire and Dwarves do really well in a team on multiplayer?

Dwarves are almost unbreakable, but lack the kind of smash attacks that the Empire's cavalry provides, and they also lack the incredible anti-infantry power of mortars.

500gb was about 100$ a few months ago. I also bought a 120gb for 40$. Pretty cheap nowadays and its fucking amazing for total war games because loading takes like 5-10sec

OK looking for some feedback here

I'm working on a variant of the gyrocopter, this one a replacement for the brimstone version.
This is where i'm headed:
>150-250 missile damage/10s (versus the 99 of the regular brimstone gun version)
>mostly AP
>very little splash damage
>accuracy tweaked to be better at hitting large targets like giants, dragon ogres, and trolls, and to have more difficulty hitting small targets like
>lords and heroes
>ammo adjusted so that the unit has enough to take down 1-2 monster units
>boosted charge bonus so the unit has some use after ammo has been used up
The general plan here is to have a unit with a gimmick for taking down big tough monster enemies but being poor against most others especially infantry. I wanted something that might be good to have around but no more than one or two at the most. Because gyrocopters can go anywhere and attack from range it seems really easy to make something gamebreaking, but make them too weak and then they're just underwhelming. My hope is this creates a unit with a purpose without creating something that's terribly op. Thoughts?

>dwarves get organ guns in a garrison
for what purpose?
to shoot into an open gate?

>>146622497
Givei t Bonus VS Large instead of armour piercing. Since a lot of infantry and lords are more armoured than monsters

>>146602008
Good, aren't acceptance of traps progressive?

Why can't I put cannons on walls?

Empire of Sigmar is pretty good and iirc lore accurate.

Balance wise not bad when I last played, foot reiksguard for example only came in units of 80 and where overall not as good as greatswords as line infantry but still useful as elite flankers and shock troops or holding walls and gates.

easy, all karl need is to kill their leader because vampire cunts sucks without their leader and they would lose health if their leader dies like a tau army lost their enthreale.

It is even easier for karl if he has flying mount, which he could just charge directly to the necromancer without the needs to go through the undead army at the same time.

Britain

>>146649715
just ignore the quest frankly, its fun to be a locust swarm kinda horde, keep playing until you get tired of that and then just start as another faction

but if you absolutely have to settle and hate fun, then Egypt is pretty good place, so is Spain, even if it is really far away

Probably, don't expect good fps though.

>>146650060
Also, Warhammer kind of runs okay though. Like 40 fps but thats okay for a TW game.
