Heroes, anon. I try to have four characters in every army. My core right now is Mannfred on a zombie dragon with vamp magic, a Vampire on a horse with shadow magic, a wight king on foot to pin down the battle line with the grave guard, and a banshee to roll through and assassinate enemy characters.

So when I eventually unlock a mount for a lord, do those lines over the stat bars indicate the max stat?

So If I really beef up Azhag for example with melee traits, but as soon as I put him on Skullmuncha, his melee prowess is literally cut in half? What the fuck

Sup /twg/, bought Napoleon and Shogun 2 during Steam sales. I am currently playing Napoleon Italy Campaign but I'm just so bad at battles. What am I doing wrong ? I did all three tutorials but it didn't tell me how to use each units strategically.

Which empire hero is best for reducing corruption?

>>147819789
It just takes takes practice to git gud. Also, the Italy campaign is surprisingly hard.

>>147819789
What are you having trouble with? Keep in mind that most often a battle can be won much easier with a correct deployment.

>>147820397
Most of the time I just get overwhelmed by enemy troops, they surround my units and I lose them very quickly

Are Orcs just bad?
Their units kinda suck.

>Kills from spells aren't counted
wew

>>147820762
They're quite bad. They've always been a meme race, but TWW makes things particularly difficult. You're going to be fighting Dwarfs for the majority of your early campaign, but you have no armor piercing damage outside of Black Orcs, boar cavalry, or monsters, all of which are late-game units. And this is dongs when even the cheapest and weakest Dwarfen ranged unit has more armor than your LL.

>>147820957
Supplementary damage effects have never counted. I always get pissed off when my Slavic archers end battles with ~12 kills despite single handedly removing six different units from the field.

>>147820762
nah, big spider, black orcs and giants are good, poison is very effective too, just dont pick Azhag first and get board cav which you can do pretty early on

waaghs help out a lot in the early game as well

>>147820735
Not to sound like an ass, but first thing for you to do would be getting more troops to avoid that, winning with less units than the enemy requires basic knowledge and having learned some tricks, especially since battles in gunpowder era are much more lethal even if your troops are qualitatively superior. Always try to cover the flanks of your units so that they don't get morale penalties when flanked, and keep a mobile reserve on the second line to reinforce where needed. Use cavalry to flank the enemy formation or snipe their artillery, or at least cover your line troops from the enemy's own cavalry. Can't remember if napoleon is like empire in that cavalry charging through friendly units kills them too, use the regular movement order until you're past them.

Since I cannot play the game at the moment, do you mean to say the screenshot was made outside of the game? As in the game doesnt have DoF effect?

Specific angles would depend on where their targets are standing and if there are stakes in the way or such, so it could easily be something like this

What a crazy fucking fight. Fucking undead and their reviving soldiers midfight

>>147825072
If you invade norsca, you should be prepared to completely level it, so you'd need a ready force of at least 3 armies. If you just raid them and ruin a few cities they'll just rebuild them. I would just build up your power. As a little hint, when the big invasion starts it becomes really easy to ally with neighbors, so you'll have more help for invading norsca later if you choose to. Allies actually go on crusades with you in this game, it's fun.

This is mostly against Romans, but I'm having trouble fighting infantry hordes with my Hun armies in my latest Attila campaign.

Usually I open up with running away and killing the enemy cav when they come up to attack me, and then I whittle down the troops until I win, but against Romans I'm usually heavily outnumbered because of how the AI likes to engage.

By the time my mounted archers run out of ammo, there's still too many units left for me to feel safe charging in and mopping up the rest, especially since the AI likes bringing lots of spears. Is it a problem with how I'm engaging? I mostly use normal shot vs horses and heavy vs roman infantry.

>>147825976
use all ammo, then retreat and if they attack you again you'll have full ammo and better odds of winning.

A lot of the Ork campaign depends on when the Dorfs try and jump you. If they beeline for you you can have a very bad day

Any recommended new unit mods that is 'lore friendly' and is a good addition to the game?

Looking into the southern realm and 'Empire of Sigmar', just want to see your opinion on these 2 mods to give me more variations in the units..

OK, so I'm confusd now, maybe because I'm an idiot.

when going against the Dwarves, don't even bother with archers, arrows just bounce off the little fucks.. Try using trolls to flank , get spider riders 1 on 1 with a charge or two they can take on a quarreler. After a while Grimgor will get powerful enough to reck anything. Use him to snipe generals.

Anyone here got experience with playing TW:W with a 1070?

I've heard Nvidia are having serious problems with this game but I was hoping the 1070 would be powerful enough just to brute force through them, especially on DX11.

>>147837961

I play with a 750ti at decent graphics (High) without issue.

>>147837961
Runs bad enough on a 970 so I guess it can't be any worse on the version up

>>147837961
No I have 2 980's and they have been doing fine on big battles with ultra units. Usually sac tree detail and other small graphic options.

>>147838209
i'm getting 40-50 fps on ultra with my 970

>>147837961
I played with 780ti before and now with 1080 (finally got an upgrade).

Both actually can run the game fine, with 780ti hovering around 45-60fps on ultra and the 1080 breezes through this game on constant 60fps (I turned on Vsync). This is with the initial driver and the new driver.

About the only issue I have with this game (that I do not have with other TW games) is just upon exiting, the .exe did not gracefully removed from memory so my steam still says im playing this game and that the warhammer.exe still stays in my task manager so I have to delete it manually.

If anyone have any idea why this is or a solution, I'll be super grateful.

No issue with the graphic though.

I feel you. I played a campaign for 4 hours yesterday before realizing I wasn't having any fun essentially just responding to a series of obnoxious as shit setbacks. Getting rid of a wild animal that snuck into your house is the RL equivalent to playing warhams. CA failed really hard to bring the "End Times" feel. Thanks to you I think I'm gonna drop this game until a few dlcs come out, but I bet the game will only get even more tedious when beastmen are out.

>>147827015
I had an incredibly lucky run on very hard and took the entire southeast region, except the desert coast which my top knot bros had, in about 25 turns or less. Keep using diplomacy, making peace and confederating a lot. Focus on the bottom before going for dwarves imo.

And as others have said just go straight for big orcs and black orcs asap.

What is going on why is it so empty.

I've been playing NTW Darthmod for years now, and I'm interested in La Montee De L'empire. What major pros and cons does it have compared to Darthmod?

Quick question guys.

I've heard several different responses on steam soo

Does the new Blood pack for Warhammer affect the mods I already installed? I only have some simple stuff, like a camera fix and a home region bonus but does anyone have an experience/advice? I'd like to get the extra gore but..

>>147828765
I like to imagine the general spookiness of high corruption areas protects them with fog, storm clouds and the like, and attrition is them getting stuck in the light and having to divert the magic they would use for controling and animating their armies to not catching fire.

Maybe a protection dpell, or a cute little rain cloud hovering above them.

Any artfags who can draw Manfred getting rained on while his minions try not to laugh?

Artillery is devastating even in vanilla S2. General sniping is easy and ashigaru have awful morale.

The most annoying things are the bullshit ZoC preventing you from catching armies because they're always out of range, the fact that no one ever goes into a fucking siege battle I have 50 fucking hours and not one god damn defensive siege, and the fact that Chaos sort of just rolls over. Rage of the Dark Gods had an Empire campaign that was genuinely fucking terrifying to play because you were balls to the wall at turn 50 and the pain just kept coming. In TW:W chaos sort of pisses about and doesn't really do much because the stacks it spawns with are too few and too small to matter.

Can someone who understands the lore of WH tell me about Heinrich Kemmler? What point in his storyline does total war pick up on? At the start of the game is he still a half mad beggar or has he already accepted chaos?

Any good warhammer mods out yet?

Yeah make a very deep formation. I'd say 3'4 units wide and as 5-6 deep. Have your vampire lord at the front. Keep your vampires back to your army and slowly fight your enemy as he sends several units at a time. The vampire will get all your kills. Heal it and you should defeat your enemies army before you run out of troops.

Slowly move the vampire lord back as units die. By the end you will always trigger a great battle marker too.

I'll give them a try then. Hopefully Dwarfs won't be annoying.

What beats 10 Bretonnian paladins on birds with the lord on the monster bird too?

I don't know why I still come to this dead general desu, I don't even play the games anymore

The lack of content in TWW is too much to bear

played attila campaign for 20 hours now. the entire thing felt like i was going 1 step forward, 2 steps back. now i got defeated by rugians and saxons.
feels depressing man.

what makes attila harder than the other games

Thorgrim or Ungrim? I really dislike the goofy throne, and Ungrim has superior armor piercing damage. Does Thorgrim's magical damage ever really matter?

Non-ugly Damsel mod coming out yet?

So I went and got the Brettonia mod on /twg/'s recommendation and I have to say this is stupidly boring. The unit variety just isn't there, the infantry are paper thin and the bulk of your unit options are; cavalry, cavalry with spears, cavalry with swords, cavalry with glowing sticks and cavalry with bows.

Is this what the full faction will look like when its finished? I'm worried that there might be less units when it is completed then what the mod has. I mean, the modder had the ability to create anything for the Brettonians and only decided on an extra 3-4 units.

Bretonnia is just so bad against settlements with walls, since you need to break down walls to get the space for cavalry charges, but can't with the crappy singular trebuchet units.

the throne is actually pretty great

>tfw you're the only guy in your unit wearing a blue shirt

How do you fight against Timurids elephants (m2)? Those fuckers always stomp my troops like ants. I wish I could ignore them but they just hang around Antioch and keep bothering me.

What is porthole?

>>147903101
Well, that's pretty much the Bretonnian roster.

Okay, what units can be added into Bret roster?
