It's actually the opposite, if they were greedy they'd add it in and charge for it.

Naval combat for Warhammer would involve impolementing the naval combat of nearly every total war game together, while keeping it functional and balanced.

They take more damage from the flanks. It's a decent melee. def. penalty when attacked from the flanks, and a huge one if attacked from the rear. immune to psych is terror and fear.

If it's just that easy, then maybe you should do it. Get modding.

>When a Beastmen army conquers an enemy settlement, the player gets two new post-battle options. Raze and Loot harvests income from the settlement before destroying it, while Raze and Defile razes the settlement and erects a blasphemous monument in its place. This generates major Chaos Corruption in the province and confers a large Population Growth bonus upon the horde.

I'd bet on naval battles in the first expansion, especially if it's ulthuan and naggarond. It'll dramatically increase the amount of water in the grand campaign and with the addition of dark elves in particular add races that have a strong lore footprint at sea.

You can only raze. It's just a matter of what you do before you raze.

>>148471435
Lore of Beasts is easier to cast on cavalry, monsters and all Beastmen, so perhaps a reduced winds cost when cast on those units.

>>148471496
I just enjoy painting maps. Running around razing shit makes me feel like there's no real progression. Occupying a territory always feels important, but razing something almost never does. I also really hated always being in the red as chaos, and even though money was never really a problem I never felt like I could have armies of only expensive units like I can with the settled factions.

>>148471435
for the beasts

enemy large units get a leadership penalty, like the Lore of Light but with big things instead of skeletons? lazy solution for lazy developers

That's what I said it's better this way now than how it was with chaos where you could ONLY raze or loot on a single turn and there was no defile option.

GORTHOR WAS WEAK
WITNESS TRUE POOPOOPEEPEE

Welp I finally finished my Empire Campaign, purged Chaos, Norsca, and VC, freed the Brettonian serfs from their oppression, conquered the Southern Realms and resettled the ruins of Kislev. Brought ruin to the Greenskin horses and after much deliberation, decided to remove the stunted abhuman filth to make a pure, human world.

Now I plan to do the exact same as Chaos. Should I start with Kholek or Sigvald? How long do chaos map clear campaigns generally take? Do you purge Norsca or leave them alone? What turn or so do you build your second stack?

>>148476295

Lore of Death is the best in the game atm, but that really doesn't compare to the beast that is Kholek. If you want Lore of Death, just stick a sorcerer in there.

If anything, you should replace Sigvald with a sorcerer.

>>148477581
It's to prevent you from moving all your armies together the entire time. It's not really that bad since once you get your army decked out with warriors and knights, you can easily go one army against two armies from any other faction and win handily.

"Let the grobi go, and the urk and the troll. No rangers will oppose them, no watchtowers will warn of their approach. Umgi-men are alone in this".

Its not a matter of affording it, but it is such a high price. If all DLC followed a similar price range the final title would cost a disgusting amount.

If i wait till its released i pay even more, but if i get it now it could be a rip off and not worth the price for content.

It's gonna take a radical change to make vortexes and bombardment worth it on large/ultra though. The whole underlying system is fucked, so it's not even easy to buff.

>>148480351
>You can also say that they are more essential to be done with

They should've been on the grand campaign map since day 1.

But giving them a campaign pack is just stupid. It's wasted work. They are one of the least interesting races in the setting. Arguably the very least.

>>148480891
Doubt we will see another discount till Christmas at the earliest.

We have already been waiting months for a new race, i want to get the DLC but it just feels like CA jewing us. If only it was just a race pack, even £10 is acceptable but £14 seems excessive.

Taking the south empire and having a big empire ally in the north might have been better. They would have been your buffer against the annoying norscan raiders.

I agree but what is done is done.

I'm still mad about Xereus being such a fucking joke. It looks wrong, it works wrong and it sucks.

This damn thing wiped armies on TT.

>>148467161


Helblasters and halberbiers will sort that out.

>complaing about jewing when you are asking for DLC

>>148481170
You have only yourself to blame if you can't wait for the price to get lower, CA is weak listening to people bitching like this.

>>148481468
I just want content anon :'(

Its my dream game, and it feels dead. If people lap up over priced DLC, then how much will we have to pay in the end for a complete game?

God fucking damnit Azhag and your psychic powers

One more turn and I would've had walls here

>Detlef Sierck owes the Empire 119000 crowns

Poor guy.

Man, rereading all my old Warhammer books is great. I'd forgotten what Gotrek and Felix was like in the earlier novels.

What do you need to do in the greenskin campaign to have the quickest/best start? Like first 3 turns wise?

I can conquer 2 provenances in the vamp campaign in 4 turns. is it possible to do something similar in the greenskin one?

>>148481704

You should still be able to win this

Seriously, quarrelers do so much fucking work. A single unit of quarrelers is probably worth 3 units of crossbowmen. You don't even need to flank with them, since they can shoot over dwarven heads.

>>148481704

Honestly, I'd give you the edge there. Azhag doesn't have the Crown yet, making him a shitty fighter in all respects.

Dwarves are by far the strongest early game army, due to their armor, shields and braced charge defence making them almost unkillable.

Focus on their archers, and you'll win. Your frontline is much better.

When is bretonnia coming out?

Anyone else never actually finish a TW campaign? So burnt out on Empire at turn 220 but I have much to do

So furfags coming out confirms that russian leak?

Who are we getting next then? Isabella? It won't be a DLC with just one new LL right?

>>148481704

Did you win?

Because I kind of think you should have won that, unless the trolls managed to do some damage.

>>148482553
I have finished a lot of Rome 1, TWW and Attila campaigns.

>>148482553

Only finished vamps. Most campaigns lose sense somewhere at 200+.

It feels super unsatisfying anyways. Just a stupid panel showing history.

>>148482553

>220

What difficulty are you on? I'm pretty sure both of my Empire Campaigns ended with a Long Victory before turn 200. At the very least, I had little to do by turn 220.

>>148482213
Are quarrelers that good?

I had an army of 4 warriors and 3 quarreler get wreked by grimgor and his army.

Nothing could hurt grimgor, and my lord was nearly dead after dealing a tenth of his health bar.

This is turn 6 btw, my plan was to rush greenskins out the game but somehow grimgor has purple gear and is like level 10.

>>148482553
I didn't finish more than one or two campaigns in most of the earlier TWs (except M2 which I played to death), but I've actually finished 3 campaigns in WH, and I'm working on number 4. They just seem more manageable.

>>148481704


he has few units of actual susbtance compared to you

>>148482553
The real question is have you ever finished a campaign? I think the only campagn I ever finished was Empire's Prussian campaign and conquered everything.

>>148482213
I can't believe I was even worried, you're absolutely correct

>>148482553
Finished just one spain campaign in M2 and one Tokugawa in S2, the rest have been me stopping after mid to late game because mid term goals have been reached and then most of the time it's just steam rolling, realm divide did wonders for that in S2.
