Has anyone figured out how to ensure characters get certain traits? For example in my vamp campaign kimmler randomly got a bonus to hound and bat attack. During my empire campaign one of my lords got a -1 public order for unjustly slaughtering orcs that were raping my people (fucking liberals am i right?)

Are there any dragons in the game that breath fire to kill?

I just want to play as a huge ass dragon and destroy shit. They could be agents that wreak havoc on enemy soil diminishing public order and if you assing it to an army they become flying siege weapons or some shit. To balance them in battle they would start as small dragons (drakes?) and get bigger with levels.

Are Beastmen Bohemians?

>>149001465
Beastmen are migrants

Why do dwarves call most humans manlings, when they used to just call them mankind?

>>149001916
I think you mean 'Peaceful Refugees'

>>149002253

Because Dwarves liked the early tribes of man, when the Empire was young/forming, more than they do the current lot.

Back then we were basically barabarians, and our laws were based on honour and oaths, much like theirs. Now the Empire is a lot more conniving and political as a whole, and doesn't have the same respect for the oaths that it used to.

There's exceptions to this, but generally, the dwarves think mankind isn't as good as it used to be. Of course, dwarves apply 'not as good as it used to be' to basically everything.

>>149005639
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."

They pretty much always called them manlings. It varies from dwarf to dwarf what they call humans.

>>149002253

They always called them manlings. Or some did. It varies on how much respect the dwarf has for humans.

>>149006479
What's the original pasta about?

>>149002253

It varies from dwarf to dwarf, but some have always called humans manling. It's a somewhat condescending term.

>>149002253

They've always called them manlings.

Some call them humans, but that's because they know that humans see manling as an offensive word. It's not really though, for the most part.

>>149004882

If you mean the End Times books, they start off well, imo. But they keep making new plot threads every book and never actually resolve anything and then the whole thing ends with "Lol jk, chaos wins. Half the new models and rules you just spent money on are no longer usable".

Who is Arch and why do we hate him?

First time I watched one of his videos I thought he was alright. But the more you watch, it just gets worse and worse.

Okay so I think i'll FINALLY play an Empire campaign. I've been avoiding it because frankly, human factions are boring as fuck.

What should my early game lines be made of? I like to roll with at LEAST six units of cavalry in TW games, so I need a solid core to hold the line long enough to crush their cavalry, and then to crash into the enemy backlines.

Pistoliers, Outriders, and Empire Knights worth the investment?

Gunners or Crossbows?

What artillery is good?

>>149009891
Mordheim is pretty hard desu.

>tfw thousand eyes on a heavy armor specd champion

>>149009763

Alaric the Mad used the term, and he had a fierce respect for humans. Gotrek used the term, even for his rememberer, right up until he took up Grimnir's mantle.

The term is somewhat condescending, but it's not innately offensive. Dwarves see man as a young race, with great potential but lacking wisdom from experience. That's where the -ling part comes from. As a race, we're young.

Undead warbands when?

>>149010201
>Pistoliers
Fucking garbage in every way, never build them.
>Outriders
Alright as proper AP skirmisher cav.
>Empire Knights
Nothing amazing, quickly outclassed by Reiksguard and Demigryph Knights.
>Gunners or Crossbows
Depends on the army you're going against. Crossbows require less positioning micro and shred unarmored units. Gunners require much better positioning but will do good in shredding armored units, which you'll quickly find yourself facing more and more of.
>What artillery is good?
Damn near all of them are good. Even the Luminark is good now. Just build them in Nuln so you can get that bonus XP and they'll kill plenty of shit.

>>149010201
>Empire Knights worth the investment?

No, they're inferior to Reiksguard in literally every way.

>>149010201
Spears w/shields vs other humans, greenskins, and dwarfs. Can be handy against pesky norsica raiders with throwing axes too. IF your army has missile units use spears and shields, halberds will get chewed to pieces.

Against VC and Chaos use halberds to hold the line for dat AP.

Obviously take at least 4 units of greatswords.

Empire is the most fun campaign IMO you're right in the middle of their shit and get to fight everyone. When playing other factions you can finish a campaign without ever fighting some enemies. (ex: just finished dwarfs and never fought chaos once)

>>149010420
Are there any plans for new warbands or is the a classic "give the warhammer ip to a half bankrupt company"

>>149010201

>Pistoliers

Ltierally fucking useless. Not even the worst unit for their cost, possibly the worst unit in the game,

>Outriders

Decent enough, but only against elite units.

>Empire Knights

Oddly fragile units considering their armour. They're outclassed by Reiksguard, and massively outclassed by Demigryphs

>Crossbows

Better for the most part.

>artillery

It's all good. But frankly, I find Mortars to be the best. They require almost no micro, and high-exp mortars are fucking smart bombs in terms of accuracy. If you're fighting dwarves though, you'll probably want Cannons.

>>149002253

Because Dwarves are cantankerous bastards.

They aren't being overly insulting. They're just a bitter old race.

>>149010201
>Gunners of Crossbows

honestly after playing dwarfs the crossbows seemed underwhelming (quarrelers are fucking ridiculous) and after some tech upgrades your handgunners turn unto assault rifle platoons. You focus two units of handgunners on one unit of chosen, black orks, graveguard etc and you will obliterate it before it reaches you. They require more micro but I think they are better.

>>149011549
also did I mention lord sniping? I would have a gunline of four units in the front line to focus on their lord if he was near the front of the army and he would always go down in three of four volleys

>>149011286
Everyone I've heard talk about the game says the plan is to slowly pump out new warbands and troop options.

>>149011359
>>149010857

Pistoliers aren't THAT bad.

The morale effect of shooting into the back of a line is pretty huge, and they can quickly cause a chain rout if they get to shoot lots of units in the back.

They aren't worth their cost though.

>>149011837
That's the "tanks in 30 minutes" of warhammer games

Is it possible to have a ranged-only army as the dorfs à la Fall of the Samurai?

>>149012639
no you will get raped by cav

Noob question; why aren't the Hung in the game? I mean at least if there were Hung, there'd be a good reason for full cav armies

>>149012639

don't listen to >>149012835 that anon.

You can take full range-only armies in FotS, just make sure you have rifles pointing out from you flanks, so they can blow away cav before they can out-flank you

>>149013270
>reading comp

>>149012639
It's doable but you're want to be taking a mix of range units. especially the ones with great weapons to act on the flanks to try and deal with cav chargers.

Also if you plan in using thunderers, be warned they're complete shit when having to move at all. There are huge delays between them moving and being able to fire again. So if you can try to keep them in a square formation so they can rotate easier.

>>149013941

oops, oh well. Talking to people on this board for too long will kill braincells

>>149012639
all thunderer armies backed up by artillery and an engineer are extremely fun anon. i recommend it.

keep units square so they can rotate, prepare to segment and break off so that you can fire upon enemy units that make it to melee

Why is the total war youtube community (with the exception of arch faghammer) so comfy?

Seriously, they all seem bro tier and chill as fuck

i see arch also browses /pol/, but there nothing wrong with that! Just like there nothing wrong with being jewish!

During the summer sale I bought Rome II and most of its DLC

Because of a fucking class I can't go to the beach this summer, so I bought Beastmen and Caesar in Gaul today (I haven't bothered buying any of the blood and gore DLCs and this year I've gotten WTW, Attila and Rome after going about 8 years without buying a TW game) with only the Hannibal one left

Something I've noticed about Rome is that there is only a single Germanic tribe and only a single Brittanic tribe available. Did they just get bored with making DLCs for Rome or move on to Attila without finishing with making the Caledonians and other Germanic tribes available to play? Kind of gay.

There's just never any reason to build them. They do shit all for damage and die to anything that touches them. For morale-breaking purposes, you might as well build a proper heavy cavalry hammer which will actually kill things as well as do morale damage; for skirmisher cav purposes, it only takes a couple more turns to build the infinitely more useful Outriders.

>>149011890
>>Pistoliers aren't THAT bad.
Pistoliers have a quarter less health than comparable other human missile cavalry units, and a worse melee statline worse than gobbo archers. Which is all rather annoying, especially if your on the campaign and the Greenskins/Norsica decide to spam Marauder or Gobbo Cavalry enmass.

what is the use for quarrelers with great weapons?

>>149030427
Is it even worth reading in the wiki? Seems like a ton of info

So, WFBfags, what factions do you preditct will get paired for the next "big" release?
Assuming it will follow the base game formula where we got Empire - Vampire Cunts and Dwarfs - Greenskins.
High Elves - Dark Elves is a given but what other factions are traditionally set against each other?

>>149015929
Warrior of Sparta is not comfy. He always asks for likes and subs. Not in a normal way at the end of the video but more like "Don't forget to like my vid. If we get at least 500 likes I will make a similar video" in the middle several times.

>>149030496
Only if you wanted to see the deeps of the fall?

It's not needed for anything but if you're curious it's something that will occupy time.

>>149030645
Expansion 2 will be High elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, maybe Skaven (If they aren't the first DLC for it)

High elves vs dark
Skaven vs Lizards.

Expansion 3 might just be the 4 chaos gods since each hates the other. Aside from that, probably Ogre Kingdoms, Tomb Kings and something else.

>>149030710
warrior of sparta is a faggot

>poor map generation
Seriously, why this game is so bad?

>>149030826
I doubt they'll split the chaos gods, they're probaby going to go by the official armies split, so we have:

The Empire - done
Dwarfs - done
Warriors of Chaos - done
Beastmen - done
Orcs & Goblins - done
Vampire Counts - done

And what's left is:
Bretonnia
Daemons of Chaos
Lizardmen
High Elves
Wood Elves
Dark Elves
Skaven
Tomb Kings
Ogre Kingdoms
Chaos Dwarfs

With Brettonia being the freelc faction most likely.

if the russian data mine are to be believed, chaos divided will be the focus of the second expansion pack

how do you think basic high/darkelf infantry will stack up against other factions' stuff when they're released?
curious if they'll be similar to the fuck-off OP elves in Third Age.

>>149032565

They'll probably be like Dwarfs with high stats and smaller unit sizes.

>early dwarfs pre good artillery and gryocopters
>every field battle is followed by 1-2 mopping up battles because manlets can't run down routers for shit
are gyrocopters even good at killing routers?

>>149032565
every unit has 99 attack, so they can't miss just like the TT

Why don't dwarves have tanks? Seriously, the empire didn't need a steam tank, the fuckin dawi did

>>149033982
Because if the dorfs had a semi-logical level of tech progression Chaos and the Greenskins would be fucked beyond belief.

>>149033982

Dwarf technological advancement is limited by muh traditions.

>>149034709
doesn't really explain why they can build helicopters but not steamtanks.

>>149034226
Don't forget the giant airships. Seriously, the tech in the setting doesn't make any god damn sense and if anything in the setting was realistic the only faction that realistically wouldn't be obliterated by the empire and dwarfs would be the skaven and that's if thanquol didn't somehow manage to get them all killed. Chaos should have been utterly annihilated for countless reasons but then the setting wouldn't have any big bads and because it doesn't have any big bads it would have required hiring writers with actual talent, and that would have cost money so that is why fantasy got ruined and 40k will never feature plot progression.

daemons of chaos will be their own faction?

I have no clue how they're going to make it work, according to the russian datamine they're even going to be split into the 4 Chaos God specific demons

Is it possible to remove chaos corruption from norsca or is it always permanently 100%.

I'm wondering because i'm playing as bretonnia and I want to crusade up north and I want to know if I should purify it too.

>>149036039
wasn't it set up in the tabletop that the faction had access to the 4 chaos god lines but the idea was you themed your army around one of them?

>>149036380

Any time you park a character that is not Chaos affiliated (anything that isn't one of the Northern Tribes or Chaos), it will start removing chaos corruption.

If any norscan tribes set foot in it though, it will start building back up quite quickly, which is why you should make sure they are all dead. There's no reason to purify it because I don't think anyone can settle there anyway.

>>149036459
I don't really know much about Demons of Chaos but afaik it's like that, yeah.
But discussing it won't make much sense I guess, CA could've changed the expansion plans dramatically, especially after they said that we'll get more content after TWW made them so much money

>>149036459

Nothing, there are like 5 guys or so here that actually want Tomb Kings and yes, they're essentially just egyptian Vampire Counts

>>149037387
Could be that it's only for one turn though, still pretty cool feature.

>>149037308

No infighting penalty is going to make them disgustingly broken,

>>149037009
Not that anon but how it used to be was you had two options. you'd either theme you're force under one of the gods or as undivided.

With undivided you have access to the low tier daemons of each god.

When you specialize with a god though you'd have access to everything their unique units/daemons/artifacts/war-gear etc.

Back then when you had a beastman/Chaos warriors force you could also have daemons aswell. But with 7th or 8th edition they split them into a separate force that followed similar rules but just daemons only.

So they could either do a Lord thing or just break them up into forces dedicated to each god.

>>149002505
So dorfs are bitter old-timers who sometimes have a point - the race?

>>149038682
Pretty much. They even have the whole "I don't like anything new, it's scary" thing going on with their R'n'D

>>149016952
I unironically go to /pol/ for habbening news, mainly because discussing current events elsewhere often gets you taken apart.

>>149038439
Are there really enough variety between the gods to justify the potential split?
Honestly I'd rather have a Lord thingy with each having access to few unique units. 4 Chaos armies are more than enough already, 7 would be pretty retarded t b h.

>>149039129

not that anon, but yes there is a quite a lot of variety.

khorne would have mostly units that are good at the charge and prolonged combat

tzeench would have more casters and magical units

nurgle could have units imbued with poison or auras that affects an enemy units ability to fight well

slaanesh would be a jack-of-all-trades I suppose, slaanesh is mostly just sexual stuff

>>149039129
>Is there enough variety
Not really 2-6 basic units at most

People who played for fun usually mixed in some themed warriors of Chaos units

>>149039473
Slaanesh is excess so wouldn't he be stupidly expensive and stupidly specialized units like a cav unit who has 0 melee stats except for a 400 charge bonus?

>>149039129

Even in tabletop theming an army around one god was more about that gods daemons, access to magic items, and paint-scheme rather than tons of unique units

>>149039557

honestly CA could go several ways with it, but yeah, having plenty of units with over-exaggerated stats would fit the theme

>>149039557
Slaanesh is usually the cheap option, and mostly focused on initiative (speed) and immunity to psychology

>>149039129
A 4 way split for daemons would suck. You'd have 6-9 units and never really upgrade from that.

But if you had God specific mixed forces it could work. It would be like playing Warriors of Chaos but with a new look for any existing units and access to unique units.

>>149040006

I mean maybe they could just have different variations for all the units?

example:

Chaos warriors (khorne) has better attack and charge stats

Chaos warriors (tzeench) resistance to magic and psychology

Chaos warriors (nurgle) poison weapons and debuff to nearly enemies

Chaos warriors (slaanesh) improved speed, attack speed, increased block chance

>>149040006
>>149040214

What is you start with a lord and have 4 skill trees - one for each god, and as you level up that specific lords, his recruitment options change, allowing for him to either be specialised (divided) or have wide access to low-mid tier units (undivided).

They have to make it impossible to transfer units, or at least that you can't transfer units to a lord that can't recruit them to begin with?

>>149037303

>>149040214
Pretty much, that's all they did for the table top really. The good thing is Total war is robust enough to have these changes matter. Plus there's nothing to say they can't have fun with it.

Khorne units that can loose control. Some kind of ridiculously high health Plague zombies for Nurgle. That kind of junk.

>>149040810

I'm kind of surprised honestly that they haven't given any units a "berserk" mode, or make some units charge without orders

He's a person who has anarchy in his heart, as a philosophy. He hates that his fate was decided by somebody else. He hates that all mortals are nothing beneath the wishes of the(any) Gods. He would rather there be no world than it exist as a chessboard for the entertainment of Gods.

The fate chosen for him pushes him to Chaos, his fate is to end the world.
The obvious reason to end the world are to make a new one.
He understands that he is not as powerful as gods, so becomes their instrument with the intent of being so powerful at the end that instead of stopping at the last station towards total oblivion he's going to ram the train right off the goddamn tracks.

>>149044027
Scandi speech isn't too far off our own, and people who are lazy when it comes to learning a new language exist everywhere. So while they speak the language quite well they still slip up on basic pronounciation. Like pronouncing 'Just' as 'Yust'. It's almost identical to Engrish, except they're just far more comfortable speaking a language closer to theirs to begin with.

I kek'd. You have more infantry, so just make sure your line is longer than theirs and do an envelopment.

Also the chaos gods use Archaon in their wars against one another and reward him until he basically becomes too powerful for them to stop.

Because as said, their goals are the same down to the very last moment of the world. And probably because of arrogance, if they do truly know his one desire.

How did the mongols sustain their millions of horses when they supposedly got all the way to europe, if the only one who managed to pull off a mass-horse army hundreds of years later was Napoleon?

Haven't played since patch hit. Do spells work "as intended" now and is Chaos still carbage?

No, they're still working on it but at least made Spirit Leech a tiny bit weaker

>is Chaos still carbage?
Dunno but Beastmen will be about 500% more fun

Bullying, whichever variant it may be:

>Shoving a Wood Elf into an industrialized environment.

>Gagging a High Elf while you talk condescendingly about her species.

>Forcing a Dark Elf into chastity.

>>149047004
No. Foot of Gork was recently discovered to absolutely shit on the top Vampire counts meme army though.

Wouldn't know them either before or after to properly judge.

Is Invokation of Nehek better now?

For the lulz

>Hey, what if we give that nihilistic retard command of a daemonic force, shit would be hilarious

>>149047237
It is completely broken in aforementioned meme army.
Packing your entire army(of crypt horros and cairn wraiths) in one tight square with a couple of necromancers in the middle and casting overcast invokation of nehek, which makes it AoE literally applies it your entire army at once.

>Beastmen start off neutral with the Warriors of Chaos.

So what's it going to be /twg/?

Are Beastmen the True Children of Chaos? The Heralds of the Everchosen? Or indifferent to the northern invaders?

>>149047179
The lore of the Wild seems like it would counter the Vampire blob too, either by summoning a Cygor right in the middle of the blob, then dumping a few of the AoE damage spells they got and maybe the bug explosion.
