They still rape from up front, but they look super unsatisfying doing it. It's also more likely that enemy units will push right past your pikes if enough of them concentrate on the charge.

They just confederated Karak Norn who I was spamming hero actions against. Now, the diplomatic penalty has shifted to the Dwarves which sent their opinion into the negatives. How hard are they going to fuck Manny?

>>147979845
who cares you need to kill dwarfs to win the game anyway

It should pretty much be your first target by the way, going through uncorrupted mountains as VC is the most annoying thing in the entire game

Only if chaos corruption is a factor in that. Wouldn't mind having to replenish in the inaccessible forests since Beastie Boys hang out there all the time.

Most prisoners become minotuar/gor food though so it might be a greenskin "eat em" option, which would be ok.

Realistically its probably

Favor (which is undoubtedly their currency)

Unlike WoC who can only replenish on norscans being able to replenish on all should really help keep the train going. In turn probably not get as much from sacrifices (which is true in lore too)

Any of you guys running TW:W on an AMD CPU? I know Intel is better, but I'm on a budget until later. Heard mixed things.

Somehow I got dwarves in a military alliance with me though so we'll take on chaos together if they break through the monster that is Kislev (they won't).

>>147984859
WoC in the game always have the option to either sacrifice or slaughter.

Totally shitting this out but hey its a decent explanation. Sacrificing is more drawn out and ritualistic trying to get the dark gods favor. Slaughtering is just going balls to the wall on bloodlust leading to a high morale frenzy for a bit.

Skaven will be the biggest clusterfuck to implement, what are you going to do just shove them next to Tilea? No room. If they go with the underground idea its going to be a irksome task. Not to mention new skeletons and whacky ass war machines.

Wood Elves could beat them out, High/Dark involves adding a whole new continent, also unlikely to be early.

Beastie Boys are a horde so no city models to worry about, will need new skeletons and animations but nothing too crazy. Chaos faction campaign mechanics are also pretty simple since its all MAIM KILL BURN and no diplomatic options with most of the map outside raping it. Also some units are shared with WoC, boom already done.

You need to be able to win battles at ridiculous odds. Any VH/VH campaign will die a quick death if you're unable to cheese battle mechanics and pull victories out of nowhere.

>>148013135

Well, I did notice that quarellers were ridiculously effective with the Tactician trait and their 10% damage tech. I hope it will be enough to keep the greenskins off my back.

I should probably also build a defensive building in Pillars ASAP?

build walls everywhere, use quarellers, dwarf campaign is the easiest, because early orcs have 0 armor pen

>>148013242
You need a defensive building in every single region. You lose a lot of options, considering the fact that you're playing with only two slots per town and four per city, but the ability to reliably win defensive sieges outweighs the bonus income. A basic garrison for a level two city watch building should be more than capable of holding off an entire enemy stack, doubly so if you're Empire or Dwarfs with your obscene ranged units.

>>148013242
Go south in the early game. Orcs have no armor piercing damage of any kind outside of characters, black orcs, artillery, and monsters. Even quarellers will be able to win 1:1 against your basic orc melee unit, which means you don't need to spend too much time worrying about babysitting them and can focus on microing your grudge throwers and characters instead.

Well those 2 full stacks of Varg and Skaeling that immediately jump on your dick can be pretty hard, most of the time my first few turns is me playing merry go round near the dwarf stronghold while my Chaos Warrior just assaults their units over and over.

Plus its a mixed bag for Chaos a lot of the time. Most of the time all the northern tribes act like children and rape each other instead of going south and Nordland Kislev start marching stacks into the far north.

Tell me /twg/, I want to get some minor mods because I'm getting a little frustrated. Stuff like having some extra movement range in my own provinces so I can actually catch those little shits raiding my shit. Probably also the the extra skill points for legendary lords, because I want to play around with some nice, but objectively less usefull skills.

Are mods savegame compatible? And how do they affect multiplayer campaigns, will I have to disable them every time we go to play coop?

Also, while I'm here, the generals in Shogun 2 all have a skill, regroupement or something that plants a flag in the ground.

I thought retreating units would rally to it, but they all left the battlefield, so what is it for?

>>148020649
They don't start at their invasion strength but have a shitton of income and settlements.
It's doable if a bit annoying to raze everything.

>>148021879
Does S2 even have two stages of routing? I dont remeber.
I thought it was for the first stage, when the unit is fleeing, but still has a chance to come back into the fray. The 2nd stage is Shattered and the unit just leaves the battlefield and you cant do shit about it.

There's routing, when they run away, and retreating, when you're the one ordering them to move.

And yeah, there's also shattered, but I didn't remember the name. I'm not playing in English, so things are a bit different.

Also, probably a dumb question that has been asked over and over again, but what with these things? I know they're here to protect from arrows, but they must be pretty heavy.

And they look silly. They remind me of that one boss in Clive Barker's Undying.

>>148022032
Yes.

>>148022309
IIRC, they're just pieces of silk cloth or something, so they barely have weight at all. THe idea was to catch the arrow as it comes in, after which the cloth wraps around it, slowing it down so it that it lacks the speed to penetrate once it actually gets to the person.

Or something like that, it's been a while since I read up on it.

I thought silks was damn rare and expensive back in the days? I hope it was really useful, because it looks like it only protects the guy's back.

And given how Japanese go on and on about >muh honour, I'm surprised they actually protect their back.

>>148022623
It's mostly a ceremonial piece.

>>148022309
It's called a horo. It's a cloth cloak that's tied in such a way to make it inflate as the horse is galloping. In the Sengoku Jidai, the fashion was to wear a horo with a bamboo frame inside to make it seem permanently inflated, which is the kind you see in game.

Ultimately all they did was identify the wearer as either a messenger or a person of importance, which is why they're only seen on general units. There are apocryphal references to them being used to block arrows from the sides and rear but they really wouldn't do anything at all in that scenario.

Hosokawa Yusai is recorded as saying "When taking the head of a horo warrior, wrap it in the silk of the horo.". If you saw someone wearing one they were hot shit and killing them was a genuine achievement.

>>148022678
>>148022760

humans got a lot of ranged compared to VC, shields can block 30%-50% of missile damage. Most of the humans aren't heavily armored so AP damage isn't as necessary.

Rooster knights when?

>>148032634
but the game is still too easy on normal, the AI needs those boosts and the player has to be handicapped for the game to be at least remotely difficult

>>148033112
They should be able to massacre demis I suppose?

Do AI arty get a damage bonus?
Im struggling to understand how my Hellcannons never killed more than 4 people but the AI somehow kills 10 of my grave guard per shot

The thing is I "difficult" is just not a word applicable with total war (in campaign anyways). I only ever found it annoying. All those handicaps do is slightly slow down the pace of your game by adding monotonous micromanaging.

I thought assault units had been nerfed, but apparently not

Honestly, if Louen doesn't stop being so fucking awesome, I might die of starvation; if I don't wait till later with this battle, I won't have any food thanks for reading my blog

I had just sent Louen off to a crusade in Norsca, when both these Dawi shits, who I'd been called into war against a couple of times, and Estalia, who I in previous wars had pushed out of Southern Bretonnia, declared war

So now I'm fighting a two front war, with one army that's mostly just a mix of what Alberic had hired during his independence, and Louen's hurt army that's still at sea

Demis are retarded, they were only added to the very last edition and they were a mistake just like age of sigmar and all the shit gw came up with these last 5 years.

Against lowish tier units they're pretty amazing because they're sanic fast and have high weapon damage. Against armoured units, not so much.

Is it a good idea to overtaxes my settlements in Shogun 2 to have rebels to fight for XP, or is it hazardous? I heard that in some Total War games, the rebels with spawn with extremely powerful armies and endgame artillery.
Not to mention the town's growth.

Tomb kings and wood elves are shittier desu

Ogres suck too, just a dumb concept to start with.

Growth's better than some exp in the long run, you should be able to fight more than enough without tricks like that
