Truly the most anticipated of factions!

>>147712950
Your words mean nothing without proof. You can say this game based on 8th Edition, because of the fact that there Bretonia and no Sigmarines, but we don't know if this true or they just wanted to implement Bretonia. So until there proof that this is indeed 8th Edition and not they custome edition with part of 8th - we can't assume that this is 100% 8th.

Skavens are fucking pathetic but at least they get much more variety than the beastmen. Which is probably why we'll only get skaven much later. If they go for beastmen they'll be able to recycle half the roster of the warriors of chaos.

Finished possibly the most bizarre TWW playthrough yet. Ended the long play through controlling all of the Dawi territory, but more interestingly finished it with an alliance that included, The Empire, Bretonnia, Border Princes and *drum roll* Vampire Counts. And mind you it wasn't some shitty typical TW alliance where everyone hates each other and breaks the alliance up when a 70 strength faction declares war on one of them, every faction within the alliance held at least a 60+ diplomacy rating with one another.

Not him, but I lost my VH Empire campaign about 90 turns in from just a maelstrom of fucked shit. I've played every faction except Chaos and Empire always felt like I was walking on the razors edge of complete catastrophe compared to the others.

Example, one of the Orc hordes from real early on suddenly farts back into the Empire from the south, with a full stack and proceeds to just raze 6 towns in my core region in my less defended provinces.

>>147716149
How could they raze 6 towns? Didn't you have walls on everything? A single stack should manage two walled towns at best.

First playthrough, Chaos ripped right the fuck through the northern provinces, my main army just defeated 2 and a half full Varg stacks but lost 2/3rds of its strength, my other armies are undermanned since I was building up military infrastructure and money generating buildings like crazy, thinking I had more time.

>>147717008
Really not much is wrong with Rome 2 any more. Of course there's the fact that there's no family trees but you can still get some fairly interesting politics going on. I like it more than shogun 2, because shogun 2 has no variety. I like it more than attila because Attila still and will forever run like a 210 year old asthmatic tortoise with arthritis in its knees. It's honestly my favorite warscape tw game next to warhams now.

>>147717158

Can you elaborate? I am asking for honest opinions which are elaborated upon.

Total Warhammer is great, I admit, but to put as high as Shogun 2? It's basically Rome 2 / ATTILA styled TW with mechanics cut and spread among the factions to make them diverse. And then not all is there.

Sure, the setting is awesome and it has that comfy HOMM thing going for it.

As to Shogun 2 - I actually like Attila more.

Personally I always get annoyed when I play Rome 2 because there's no building browser, you can't see what your generals/agents abilities build towards and the encyclopedia is beyond shit.

The core gameplay is good enough, but it's the small things that really drive me up against the wall and prevents me from enjoying it.

Family trees are missing, burning on the battlefield is missing, razing is missing, religion is missing (tho it has culture in its place).

Anything else? Because truth be told, TW has more shit cut, and people seem to love it (I do too, just wondering whether I should get Rome 2 and not be dissapointed).

>Turn 267 as Dawi

Sigh. I finally got good, got my dream armies set up. Some for demolishing forts and structures, others specialized for anti infantry, yet I can't even flex my muscles. The game peaked way too early (turn 84) and now I'm left as a super nation with no challengers.

There needs to be more end game content or at least, some AI function that acknowledges you can take on multiple stacks of high end units en mass now. Orcs never got their giants or Araknaroks, Chaos went without Dragon orges and such, V.cunts never got more than their infantry. It just FEELS like there is a lot more content I missed out on.

I am the king of a single person empire.

Generally, the issue with Rome 2 is that its UI is terrible.
You want to know if it's better to build a market versus building a temple? You don't know unless you either waste time and resources to try it out or go looking trough the encyclopedia, which is a nightmare to look through because of the huge amount of factions in both the main game and the various campaigns. Not to mention it is slow as shit and not always correct.

You want to know if you should give your general/agent/army upgrade A or upgrade B? You don't know which one is better since you don't know how well they scale with their later upgrades and you have no way of knowing what other upgrades they lead into. This makes planning ahead really hard to do without alt-tabbing out and looking for the information on the internet - if you can even find it.

Then there's some more subjective shit, like I personally hate the unit and building icons and I think the campaign map is really empty and boring to look at.

And I almost forgot about the corruption mechanic. Granted, I haven't played it in a long while, but I remember the corruption being capped at 95% or so, meaning you're making no money late game and it just stops your momentum when taking over the undeveloped provinces of the AI. There's nothing to stop you from blitzing a faction, except if would bankrupt you from the increase to corruption. This can of course only happen once, but it can completely kill your campaign if you're no prepared for it.

And then there's the garrisons. With the emperor edition they ruined the garrisons in the game. Any city will never have more than 10 units defending it (of which you'll always have 2-4 units of plebs or equivalent, which are useless), even when upgraded to the max, meaning you're completely dependent on your armies to defend your shit. And this also means you don't face any resistance and can just zerg an entire faction once you break their armies.

>>147717851
Makes for great screens and rp for me, plus you have the middle ground between Empire/R2 grand campaign that covers half the world and the peninsular/aoc/whatever smaller campaigns, which can be nice sometimes if you want more detail but still have more breathing room.

>>147717851
what the fuck are you on about?

a spear unit is still a spear unit in rome 2

>>147716254

The stack was mostly big uns, big un boar riders and about 6 units of trolls. Shit rolls over garbage empire garrisons. The only one that did any damage was the one town I had a Reiksfort in it. Their general was some how fucking level 17 also

>>147716064

>>147719710
You have to treat your vassals nicely. The game tries to deteriorate your relations as it goes along, and you have to continuously manage it.

I had great use of having that green Vampire faction as vassals during my Vampire campaign. They roamed my home area and fended of intruders, and once in a while sent some stacks up north and slapped Chaos and Norscans for me

>>147720380
I should of bribed them, they declared war after I made them my vassal shortly after I dominated them. What was really annoying was the last property I allowed them was corruption free and by all means they shouldn't have been able to raise 3 stacks, but the ai cheats it's ass off.

>>147712894

keep on rollin'

>>147724464
Definitely go for 3 ticks of replenishment.

Death spells you need not go farther than Fate of Bjuna, vortexes are ass. Aspect of Dreadknight and Doom and Darkness are useful too.

In Vamp lore, the passive one is good, as well as Raise Dead. Gaze of Nagash is a bit tricky to use with terrain, but the Zombie Dragon solves that. You might want to go for Earthing if you plan on a lot of overcasting.

After that, I just went straight into melee skills.

True though I didn't have much of a choice seeing as everybody declared war on me the second I went independent so my troops are spread pretty thin. Thankfully my fleet is keeping reinforcements away from the mainland.

What are you, a poorfag?

I should re-install Nappy or Empire again one of these days.
They were always fun, and I usually won all the battles I fought, but despite that, I never actually felt like I was good at the game.

Anyone else feel like that?

Greatswords are better line infantry than any of the line infantry units

Is there anyone who plays multiplayer battles? Which one is most op shit to avoid? Which one is most fun shit to play?

>>147725094
yes NTW was quite hard even though you didnt lose it was atleast a challenge. I think its the nature of the warfare, in melee games you win easily by hammer and anvil every time. In gunpowder games you're primarily being shot at and TW ai is quite good at shooting.

>playing Chaos VH and it's impossible.

seriously Skaelings have SIX (6) stacks at turn 30. How the fuck am I supposed to defeat that?

How playable is ETW with Imperial Splendour?
I dislike the focused frame and timespan of NTW.

>>147725793
It's more a case of higher lethality really. In melee-focused games you usually can reliably form a main line of hardy troops and have it receive the brunt of the enemy force, and if you put better troops in the main line they're most probably going to perform much better. In Empire/Napoleon even the lowest unit can shoot your men dead if they get close, arrows are more lethal than what you're used to because of no armor, and melee is quick and brutal for the same reason. If you put grenadiers or guards in the main line they're going to win a fair fight against line infantry but at a much higher cost than what a dismounted knight unit against spearmen would, so you have to use them differently.

tl;dr everything is a glass cannon, or just glass

It's alright anon I feel you, some of these guys here are just tryhard gaylords with NO BALLS. They can't pull off anything flashy or glorious if it hurts their chances of winning due to a lack of aforementioned balls.

>>147726785
Yes, both in stats and unit numbers quality is going to be differen between nations. Playing against russia is a short stand before they affix bayonets while going against austria means the usual stand and shooty. Curiously enough prussia tended to get up close and personal pretty often against me, but the infantry charges were well timed with death's head hussars so there's that. It probably just all clicked into place but it was a pretty "oh shit" moment when they just ignored one of my flanks like that and collapsed the other switching the battlefield by 90°

Fucking this. Battles are so retardedly fast in Warhams that you barely have time to hammer and anvil before one side or the other have broken.

That sounds fun. Maybe I'll finally try to play as Prussia, the idea of having high quality units sounds pretty fun.

Any tips?

>>147727206
use radius mod.

>>147727310
Don't

>>147727303
Tips about what?

In general I'd say that playing as prussia is sort of like playing as some minors at start, you're surrounded by a bunch of factions that could all gang up on you if you're weak. At start you don't want to slowly build up your economy but get a big strong army going so that your power ranking will make AI minors think twice before dowing you. While you're weak at start no one will want to trade with you, that will change once you become one of the big players. Sometimes the AI will just dow you no matter what right after you conquer a region, don't be afraid to actually give that region to them in exchange for money, peace agreements and anything you want, they'll stop bothering you. The AI almost always won't betray you when it has military access, you can use 20 turns concessions to get better diplomatic leverage. When in doubt on how to develop a settlement, build schools.

Skaeling are like Kislev and Tilea/Estalia/border princes. A low-tech version of another faction.

So if you think about it they can't field the really good stuff like chaos knights, mutant trolls, daemon cannons etc. etc.

This opens up several new dynamics in your favor on the battlefield.

So with that in mind you have to git gud.

I ask you: Do you want total war? If necessary, do you want a war more total and radical than anything that we can even imagine today?

Radious mod is not a mod to be taken literally. It is saturated with an abundance of metaphors and symbolism; some painfully and intentionally obvious whiles others painfully subtle. It is not particularly intelligent and never makes any attempts at being profound. Although occasionally nonsensical and gratuitously pornographic, it would be wrong to judge Radious mod on its face value alone.

Radious mod is the ugly duckling: scorned for unsightliness, but an ethereal swan from the start. It is a fairytale of vibrant colours and simple joys. It truly is that brilliant painting of which a fleeting glimpse you catch, but an enduring impression you get.

In conclusion, I do not think Radious mod deserves all the ridicule and hatred that is being dished out. The stringency and inadaptability of the traditional historical and lore friendly approach practiced by so called "understanders of strategy" is to blame for this. Hoc salsum esse putas? fugit te, inepte: quamuis sordida res et inuenusta est. Radious mod is unshackled from such rigidities and doing so through homosexuality rather than the vapid norm, it sheds light on the enigma which has eluded psychologists for centuries.

Uninspired and repetitive as mods nowadays are, many a disillusioned fan don’t hesitate to call out the medium as fallen. Along comes Radious mod, the latest entry to modding self-critique and introspection.

On the surface Radious mod seems like your ordinary mod which is seemingly unremarkable but whose charm is so irresistible yet so subtle, that the people who've played it cannot but fall for it, much to the frustration of some self proclaimed "understanders of strategy" who cannot see any logic to these affections. Os et labra tibi lingit, Manneia, catellus: non miror, merdas si libet esse cani.

Unlike our hack-ridden mod industry, Radious Mod uses metaphors in an excruciatingly subtle way. Sharp-eyed spectators should be able to spot the humanistic properties Radious mod displays. Radious mod is a self-aware and self-referencing work. It points out the flaws and implausibilities which often plague its genre, yet offers no alternative. Though criticized for conforming to its genre without innovation, composing the rest of the mod with uninspiring features essential in achieving what Radious mod wishes to do. While it does highlight the unrealism which plagues the modding community, it also serves to illustrate the irrationality of passion and infatuation, which which is shown by the hatred often spewed at this masterpiece. Poor Radious is left with naught, but to hunger evermore.

The team is aware of the flaws and tropes in their work, but artistic integrity has to be weighed against the harsh market. Even so, no artist wishes to make hollow trash as much as “understanders of strategy” so often may think. Behind these stories are genuine emotions, far more so than half-assed criticisms by blind followers of objectivism.

I don’t think this mod justifies an arbitrary rating of stars; it’s much better than that. It deserves a place among the highest modern philosophical works of our world. "Nietzsche, thy name is Radious."

All you need for the main one is lightning strike and common sense

Did the Total Warhammer release fuck up this general as much as the Rome 2 release did?

Good taste, they make the chaos campaign a lot more flavorful and interesting.

I wish Tzeentch Chosen weren't just two colors with horns. I hope the creator plans to update their models.

Sometimes I feel guilty for using 200 model cultist units that have next to no upkeep. Then they take ~140 casualties to Dwarf warriors.

Ogre Kingdoms when?

Yea this always pissed me off, many things in total war are designed to throw rocks in your pat, if they AI wouldnt fucking cheat to the max they would desperately need that money, but nope.

Why the fuck light order mage stronger than fire moron?

A few turns after that Middenland wanted a trade agreement even though they wouldn't get half of what I was getting.

I tweak the .pack files sometimes for balancing (also I run a +25% ultra units mod so I always have to change unit numbers). Cultists I lowered attack, Khorne warriors I buffed defense to warrior level, I pay more and they still have board and sword. I refuse to use plauge zombies those things have so much health.

Actually just today Chaos Divided added the Nurgle EH and Knights, having a whole army with poison attacks and high health will be fun. I want to hold off the next Chaos campaign when its all wrapped up.

>>147745181
Light wizard magic missiles are very long range and are very strong at sniping lords, other damage spells are mostly useless and people don't care about buffs, so there you go.

The battles are fast and the casualty rate is high.

Is there a 40 unit army mod? The really big scraps allow to capitalize on composition diversity a lot more and even with the combat speed its a 15 minute fight still.

I just want to be able to deploy in depth and have room to bring expendables and other support units.

>>147752053

Getting the AI to commit to a 2v2 isn't the easiest, even more when you are the attacker since they have to be in the right spot AND they AI won't run away (which it always does unless it thinks it has a super advantage). Also with reinforcements going fucking everywhere 2's can turn into huge clusterfucks without letting you really set up anything.

Far more likely the AI retreats and splits up and you get an autoresolve on one stack

>>147742590
Nothing will ever come close to that until M3 comes out and inevitably is not perfect, then M2fags will implode due to terminal butthurt.

But seriously, officially there is no connection between WFB and 40k, since 40k was originally just Warhammer IN SPACE until it grew into it's own distinct lore.

Fan-cannon is that the Old World is a planet in the 40k universe and that the Imperium just hasn't found it yet, which would explain Orcs and Chaos and all that.

Fair enough. I usually find that focusing on the enemy's cities and towns instead of their armies will usually force them to engage you, and then they'll bring everything they have. Of course Chaos is a chase-scene in all scenarios.

Look up Units Stack Resizing on the workshop.

Playing empire total war. Are there any decisive units? Like in rome you can usually crush one side with cav or in warhammer missiles do a ton of work. In empire does the side with the most musket men just win? Cannons dont do much unless you are using canister shot. cav are pretty iffy

>>147755235
cav is a bit of a glass cannon, they die easily, unless its the heaviest of the cuirassiers, but if they get a good charge they will completely annihilate the unit they hit and might collapse the whole line

a bayonet charge by grenadiers can do something similar, so can ghurkas and various melee auxiliaries

>>147755235
high-tier artillery is amazing, pull up some howitzers behind your line and as soon as everyone stops to start firing unleash hell. It's how I used to beat Great Britain builds with massive line spam. A weaker line will win with howitzer support.

Other than that, heavy cavalry is extremely effective when you manage to get a charge in between volleys and they don't square. You can drag them through multiple line units and prevent them from firing while your line keeps shooting.

Also, skirimishers are pretty powerful with cav support. If you have cavalry and skrimisher superiority you can quite easily kite armies since they don't have the mobility to hold you in place

>>147755235

If you rush bayonets early you'll steamroll everyone.

Why does CA insist on doing their DLC's at such a slow rate?

They honestly can't expect a cosmetic DLC to hold people off for another month or two. The game needs CONTENT, badly

>>147755235
Elite units die as fast as regular ones if that's what you mean, so no invulnerable deathstar roaming through the field, but some units are definitely better than others. Artillery requires a bit of micro to use more effectively if you find that leaving them in auto isn't cutting it, never had the problem honestly because I mainly use it to counterbattery enemy arty asap and then leave them on auto as the rest of the army does the job. Cavalry can be very powerful but you need to pay attention if the enemy has bayonets and access to square formation. Guards and grenadiers are definitely better than regular line infantry but again, as they die as fast as regulars and sometimes even have less men, you need to pay attention instead of just leaving them in the line.

>>147756026
To give arch less viewers

>>147756026
Doing it quicky and rushing it would backfire pretty heavily given that DLC is going to be a big earner for Warhammer

Depends on your faction. I can only speak for vanilla, but be sure to put it somewhere where you can keep public order under control (ie, not a region with religious tensions).
I always convert (haha!) the starting theological colleges as GB, France and Poland.

You've already won the game at that point. In ETW I never built schools since the countries you take over will always have at least one.

Okay /twwg/ I'm gonna need you to post all the Druchii and all the QT Vampires you got whilst answering me these three questions.

1. Are Swordsmen, Spearmen, or Spearmen with Shields able to hold their weight later game, and what make better line Infantry.

2. Is running a heavy VC LL or Vamp Lord army with monsters and Grave Guard supported by a secondary Necromancer trash army (zombos and skellos) the way to play?

3. Why the fuck won't these Dawi cunts anywhere fucking Confederate with me.

I know it's unlikely but it'd be cool if Tomb King skeleton units got different animations to their vampire equivalents after they're announced of course

Thinking about re-installing Napoopan, but I miss Empire's sense of scale of freedom to do what I want, it's so focused.
also prussia kinda sucked in the napoleonic wars so it wont satisfy my rampant germanbooism

>>147757947
1. In Warhammer the most effective way to play is to mass low tier units. When I play empire I like to have a line of cheap units hold the enemy with support units doing most of the killing, but if you are expecting you line to over power the enemy line you'll need to mass great swords. I also like to skill my generals with honest steel to really buff low tier units.

2. Doesn't matter, just do what you think is more fun.

3. AI wont confederate unless you have an adjacent territory, then just wait till they army gets smashed by another AI and they'll want to join your empire. You can even make them pay 3k if all their armies are totally wiped out.
