>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!

>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)

>GROUP ATTACK
Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

What do you expect? Its an ambush in a super-forest. By Beastmen who don"t even understand the word Artillery

Yes, that's how ambushes work. Have you never fought an ambush battle before?
>>
>>149253231
>Beastmen takes away other factions arty advantage by ambush

Seems fine desu.
>>
>>149253231
That's sort of the point. Although in Napoopan it was super broken because the defender could just grapeshot at point blank immediately so attacking an artillery heavy army in an ambush was kind of redundant.
>>
Will beastmen be able to do normal ambush battles.
>>
Since ambushes are a big part of tactics for Wood Elves, I wonder how that'll play out. A bunch of archers don't exactly want to start next to the enemy in heavy underbrush.

Why isn't Joey researching?

was lightning strike right solution to the 5 full banner stacks AI loves so?
>>
>>149253448
Possibly some sort of elevation mechanic? Where the branches and trees in the undergrowth function as semi-walls - meaning the enemy can't attack directly from the front and has to go around to the sides.
>>
This dark moon mechanic is just a test run for wood elf seasons, isn't it?

They can do so much with Wood Elves if they get it right. Beastmen basically play like Chaos Orcs, but I expect a lot of unique mechanics for the elves.
>>
>>149253821
They'll be in before tomb kangz.
>>
>>149253821
Wood Elves are so obviously next. Beastmen's reason for being first is because they are so easy to put in without any major work, and also because Bretonnia/Wood Elves' part of the world is empty without goats to hunt.
>>
It'll be cool if Wood Elves had some sort of season mechanic.
Even better if the campaign in general had seasons CA fucking shits

Those siege towers are pretty gnarly.

So guys, did the stream convince you to buy the DLC? I'm disappointed and won't buy it because the map seems small as fuck and the campaign seems to have no replay value. also beastmen always ambush on wood path maps, which makes fight repetitive.

You just know they'll have no knights of the wolf or wolf-kin Ulric flagellants.

It wouldn't be -that- hard to give Middenland some unique units and it would've made the empire more interesting if they did so.

Normal is not a good difficulty for hordes since you have no areas to defend and largely you are the aggressor.

Mostly buff the stats, but they become bigger targets, so more units that can shoot at it and hit him/more units that can hit him in a melee blob.

Also anti large rules start to count, so spearmen and halbediers get more effective vs lords.

>>
>>149261304
Because some of them are actually worth getting.
Mod to modify the blood so that it actually is gory and the blood stay longer/forever on the battlefied.
Mod that modifies the unit balance so that the battle will last a bit longer
Mod that modifies the magic to not become totally crappy
Mod that reskin units so that they do not all look samey and boring (undead moussilon)
Mod that actually creates new units based on lore for the southern realm instead of the same units as empire.
>>

Pleb taste mods aside like Radious and No Floppy Hats, the biggest problem I see is the lack of models the game currently has and the absence of a model importer; most modders are forced to reuse the same assets over and over again which makes it hard to make anything that stands out.

I hope they add more things like emergent factions of beastmen spawning in the Empire. Just having those two main beastmen hordes in estalia and badlands feels a bit lame. Was hoping to fight some in the Empire early on.

The Bretonnians are good allies up until one point when they´ve annexed the other Bret-kingdoms , Chaos are defeated and they suddenly go full war with Lustria with their two broken stacks of men-at-arms up into norsca land.

I guess dynamic events and emergent factions are hard to code into the mod, so a lot of the stuff from M2 (like crusades, the rise of the Mongols etc.) would be impossible to implement. So they just picked a start date where all of the factions were already present in some way. Although starting in 1095 with a Crusader horde faction near Clermont would be fucking amazing.

For me, its not making it easy to steamroll. It just feels more natural that factions hate yours because of different goal or previous aggressions and not because oh shit you have more cities than we do.

Step 3: Sit an army in whatever that town is that borders Marienburg
Step 4: Wait
Step 5: By turn 20 or so Marienburg declares war on Nordland or Middenheim
Step 6: Let the Marienburg army waltz off and siege the city right away.
Step 7: Watch as they get rekt by Nordland and Middenheim

I was interested until ca confirmed he can't fly, supposedly for gameplay reasons. I'll probably go with khazrak first, having a chariot mount for a lord sounds fun as fuck.

1. click the hero card
2. right click on the ground
3. realize you're retarded
>>
>>149279208

Click the hero's unit card while your army is selected, you can then direct it on the map and giving it any order will have it leave the army.
>>
>>149279208
You select them, then right click on the map. You can tell you have them selected because your courser changes to the transfer courser.

my first idea was to disband the unit but if I was wrong (which I am) I lose the git

I'm pretty sure if you disband a hero or lord, you can re-recruit them after a few turns. Much like when they get wounded.

>>

What the fuck, man. I have literally never had the greenskins leave the badlands in my empire campaigns. Even the ones that start next to marienburg don't do shit and get wiped out in the first 5 turns.
>>
>>149279796

the method I used for playing empire on legendary was to capture the first secessionist city of grunburg and then camp and wait for someone to fuck up.

The problem with marienburg is they will jump you and once you defeat them you will have encountered the norscans who will gun it for your ass.

Zacharias has a model too and is still alive in the games timeline. He also could strike a balance between Kemmler and Mannfred in terms of gameplay. A spell caster who also isn't a pussy in melee. His gimmick could be access to 3 lores of magic, Vampire, Death and Shadow. Beyond that not sure what other campaign flavor he could get. His biggest selling point in TT was his retard wizard strength though.

>>149283689
After you take grunburg spawn another lord immediately and give him a few spears and crossbow unit. That with the tier 1 garrison building is enough to hold off the greenskins that spawn in your land. once you have the rest of reikland secured you should have your full army in eilhart and a mini stack guarding grunburg / hemlgart. Put the mini stack in the middle so it can reach either settlement within a turn.

You don't need to expand that quickly as the empire. It's worth it to hold off on growth buildings for the first 15 turns or so and even then you only need one per province.
>>
>>149283457

I usually go with an 8 unit frontline composed of the most elite shield infantry I can get at the time in all of my armies, sometimes with 1 more or less depending on what I decide to use for the rest. You want something with high melee defense or at least something that'll last long enough in a fight to form an anvil with your enemies and allow proper hammering.
>>
>>149281594
hey thanks bud
>>
>>149284243
for vamps I have like 4 or 5 units of skellies with spears in the front line, grave guard behind with various monsters thrown in, and hexwraiths / blood knights on the flanks.

Vamps are a rush faction, you should constantly be on the attack. Defending with the vamps can be difficult but its doable if you are aggressive with your cav.
>>
>>149284243

Use a fuckload (8 to 10) units of shield skeles or zombies early as a frontline, swap them for graveguard with shields later. Form flanks with heavy units and use flying units as your missiles.
>>
>>149284243
For vampires I just like to throw zombies at them, route their missile units with bats, then use gouls or special units to incite routes.

How do I play TW:W early game?

I used to be fine in Rome 2 and I could start a campaign, take a nice leisurely pace, secure regions as I got them and then move onto the next, but in both my Ork and Chaos Campaigns I've made such slow progress in the early game that by the time I'm actually pushing out all the enemies settlements and armies are huge and crush mine

Anon suggested that the next two games CA release will both be Warhammer.

2019 - History
2020 - Warhammer

So it'll be 4 years + DLC for the last game at least until everything is finished.

I want to use the "Norsca" faction from KF's quest battle and unite the norscan tribes. Gotta have that proper name.

>>149285021

As greenskins, get your starting province under control as quickly as possible (first 5 turns ideally) and then try to take the silver road and wipe out the dwarfs faction before they upgrade their main settlement to the point where you wont be able to take it until later in the game. The way you do this is start grimgor and make sure to recruit 3 new units each turn until you hit 17 units, then get your fightiness up until a waaagh spawns. Then recruit a new lord and do it again. If you do this fast enough you can siege karaz a karak and have no issue doing so since you have a fuckload of units as well as your black orcs and doomdiver. At this point you'll control 2 provinces that both make an absolute fuckload of bank. You can either go north and take mount gunbad which is another massive economy province, or south and focus on taking over the badlands.

Actually that's one of the things that annoys me a little about late game TWs. Minor Factions either seem to have only two possible responses when you get really large and powerful:
1. Act like a rabbit in the headlights and do nothing whilst waiting to be destroyed
2. Randomly declare war without any support whatsoever

It would be more realistic if they started forming coalitions among themselves and alliances with other major powers and then try to dog pile you. Either that or willingly vassalise and wait until you're weak.

I'm past the point where a loss like that is much of a threat, it's a border region and the enemy is now reduced to a single settlement with my allies all around him, he can't exploit the victory at all. I had a similar situation near the start of my campaign and it was brutal, but very satisfying to at last come out on top.

Attila might be the most unoptimized game they've ever released. R2 will play better and has a better setting anyway. Attila's actual game play is great, it's just unfortunate it's shackled to an uninteresting time period and no one has a machine that can run it with decent settings.

Trying to clear out the Norscan for good now

The only other factions left now are Bretonnia, Dorfs, and Vassal Dorfs, Greenskins got unceremoniously memed on when I wasn't looking.

I've got three armies led by Gelt taking the coastal approach from Pack Ice since I only just realised that it's pointless trying to stroll through the wastes tanking the attrition, they're moving from west to east, dunno when I can get them into the main fight though

Karl Franz punched into the mainland via Bay of Blades, and he's got at least 6 varg fucking shits bearing down on him, inquisitor cheese is stalling it and hopefully will split up the attacking force allowing the battles to be more sided in my favour, but I am worried it can go wrong again like the last two times.

>>149274071

Snipe their generals if you can. If not, hammer and anvil. Hammer and anvil anyway, really. Shooting them from the side is extremely effective, so try and maneuver your crossbowmen to the flanks, then flank them. Keep an eye out for wolves and cavalry though.

But really, you want a Luminark, Witch Hunter, Flying Light Wizard or Flying general to fight them.

It helps if you don't fight them till midgame anyway.

And I had to raise a cheap Home Army because even with the Empire's entire military bearing down on them, the Varg cannot stop raping Norden.

I think I've finally got down pat how to deal with Norscan armies, mostly with their Marauder Horsies/Doggo wombo-combo.

But my main losses are ALWAYS from Chariots, I constantly struggle to stop those things, they're:

>Practically inertialess and just plow through any number of units without stopping
>Mass missle fire doesn't damage drop their damage potential like firing into regular cav
>Tanky as hell because their HP is tied less into unit numbers and just an ass load of health, so in a melee grind they do more damage to infantry than other Cav
>Stupidly mobile, I can intercept Doggo attacks and gun down Horsemen but chariots always manage to outflank me and go for my handgunners/crossbowmen/arty

How do fix?

There are two ways to reliably beat Norse stacks with little effort.

One is steam tanks. They have basically nothing that can hurt them. A full stack of Steam Tanks will do a very slow purge of Norsca by themselves, with some care.

Second option is stakcs of nothing but Halberdiers with full yellow spec'd lord, a Birhgt Wizard and two units of crossbowmen and 4 mortars. Just set them up either in a literal square, or against the map wall if you really want to put no effort into it. Target the massive blobs of me that build up around your unkillable Halberdiers (With a yellow specc'd general and Bright Wizard buffs, Halberdiers can reach 100+ melee defence. That means you're averaghe Norse marauder has a 10% chance to hit them for 7 damage.

Make the crossbowmen and mortars target either the blob or maruader hosrment. Win.

lore question:

Why are invading chaos armies from the north so huge? Where do they get the people? I always read about the empire being outnumbered but you would think that they would have a much larger population with all their cities and more fertile land. Is there an explanation for this?
>>
>>149321071

Eastern plains. You don't see them in the game, but most chaos armies are made up of not Horse Archers from the steppes. They only bother giving Norscan chaos warriors models though.
>>
>>149321286
It's still odd to me that any invading army could be bigger that anything the empire and their allies could throw at them though. It just doesn't make sense logistically. Sometimes this fantasy stuff brings out my inner autist.

How in the world do you get a good start as the Empire? It seems like there's always some loot n' scoot grab ass within 10 turns from the orcs or marienburg. and if i take marienburg there's two stacks of norsca immediately, or the vampire coutns will drop everything and march across all the other factions to attack.

Build walls in all the minor settlements in reikland. Build walls in the wasteland.

>>149322361
Conquer the Secessionists. Take Marienburg. Kill the Orks in the Grey Mountains to secure Marienburg.

Go east, either conquer Averland and Stirland or Confederate with Talabecland. You can also try Middenland but that's generally too strong. Also, conquer Hochland easily.

Then invade Sylvania. Conquer Syvlania. That secures your Eastern Flank.

interestingly, other than at the north, I'm surrounded by Dwarves and the Empire, both of which just fucking love me, and Greenskins to the south that won't even bother because all my cities near their boarders are walled off.

Once I secure my northern boarders I'll pretty much just have nothing to do except wait for rebellions to chip away at the Empire so I can take them over.

if you're on hard or less then just grab reikland and build the walls and grab marienburg

then either kill bretonnia, grab nuln or head a bit north.

if you are on very hard or legendary just grab grunburg and kill the two orc hordes that try and fuck with you. wait for either that one province just north of you or nuln to get weak then grab that. then wait for another close faction to get weak or want to join you. and keep repeating until chaos comes and then start absorbing the southern states while keeping the northern as buffers.

shit is hard but the turtle method seems to make a lot of factions less prone to fucking with you.

Can i just take a moment to say holy fucking baby jesus is Carbine Cavalry fucking brutal in Fall of the Samurai, if you charge upgrade them they can vapourize anything on the charge (same charge bonus as fucking yari cavalry) with the added effect that they shoot before charging so they disrupt enemy rifles and prevent a retaliation fire in most cases. And if you face a spearblob they can slaughter them with their insane fire rate.

I've found that carbines + armstrong guns is virtual immortality on the battlefield.

Yeah, when you chase routed enemies they are hyper-efficient at cleaning up too because they shoot them in the back while horse meleeing anyone close by at the same time.

The only immediately problem i know of is assaulting castles, but armstrong gun + naval fire support takes care of most of that, otherwise i siege them out.

Even in siege defense they are brutal because they fire so fast from the ramparts and you can fit all of them there safely because small units

Eh, we have more than four times your population and still fairly few people die of snake bites and shit. Often times it's something stupid like some lad mowing high lawn, getting bitten; mistaking it for bumping into a sharp stick or something. And he gets boozed up and pass away in his sleep.

Caution will trump basically every kind of wildlife here, unless you're swimming up in the north for some stupid reason. The concept of wolves and bears seems far more frightening to me than the shit we have here. As long as you don't leave your boots in the grass for weeks on end and then put them on without any socks on, and don't go sticking your hand under rocks and shit then nothing here can really get you. I ran around barefoot in the bush as a kid and I haven't even been stung by a bee. Crossed paths with quite a few snakes but they try to avoid you by default.

The land isn't so bad as it is made out either. A ton of it is garbage for human habitation but quite adequate for herd grazing. I think there is something like 10% of our total landmass viable for agriculture MORE than Canada, which is at around your latitude. Number is around 37% or something I think.

Either flank with them, leave gaps in your line for them to fire through, or position them on a hill.

Best off putting them on the front lines near the side, then flank if you are on flat ground.

Its still technically flat ground if the gradiant of the hill doesn't change. Base of the hill tends to be the best

I got pretty lucky myself, their stack went up to fight Nordberg.

One full stack and some reinforcements should be able to beat their... two almost full stacks + garrison or something if they sally forth. They had a lot of pistoliers or outriders or something when I fought them, crossbows should still generally be king at that stage.
>>
>>149348017

You could always try something else if the Marienburg strategy isn't working out.

In my legendary campaign I did fine expanding into Averland and Wissenland early, though I may have gotten lucky on trait rolls or something, because Marienburg spent all their time fighting it out with Middenland instead of me

Ok so the big battle against 6 Varg stacks never happened, I had Gelt's trio make landfall with Karl Franz's forces and we ended up turtle encamping and raiding hopscotching around the middle section.

The Norscan are doing their thing where they force march and run away, but given that Brotonnia has kept their inviding stacks away from Marienburg and Norden, and the fewer and fewer settlements for them to resup and re-arm, I think Norscan will go down with a whimper.

Will their faction be destroyed once their settlements are gone or do I have to chase down their little splinter armies?

I had to restart twice on the higher difficulties because of something similar. To start off, make walls around your settlements. The AI will beseige them, allowing you the 2-3 turns travel time to save them.

Kill the Orks nearby, the dawi will like you for it and it stops them from tunneling near your starting area.

Don't make war buddies with any one. Expand east towards V.cunts, the mountains will create natural borders for you. The more land you control, the more other nations want to have treaties and trade. Don't expand faster than you can create defenses for settlements, since the AI can cheat by moving at max distance and still attack.

You don't want to play a game of cat and mouse cause you will lose, and you will get your settlements fucked that way.

>>
>>149353569

Defenses start at settlement rank 2, so the first slot can be used to either grow the province or income. Then at rank 2, you build defense. At rank 3 Settlement, you can build walls proper but it also opens up another slot for more income opportunities. You only need one main province to help make armies anyway. It isn't rocket surgery anon.

My tip helps those that can't filed multiple armies to defend from multiple angles of attack.

Another thing you can do that I forgot to mention, is initiate the battle, then concede defeat quickly. You'll take the loss, but you won't get your armies wiped in the process.

I used this strategy a week ago and the enemy AI pushed my stack into a nearby settlement, where I had the upper hand on the second attempt it tried to over take me.

Hello.

What's the point of producing stuff like wine beer or cloth?

>>149354941

I can confederate any of the remaining empire states at the moment. I only hope that Kislev doesn't shit the bed and declare war on Ostland again and let themselves be destroyed by Vargs/Skaeling which they almost did this campaign.

My only problem with that is in saving Kislev, I have doomed myself to having to go to war with them because I didn't realise you can't confederate them.

It took Joey "The Macromanager" Dalton 49 turns to destroy Carroburg, the first enemy faction in the mini-campaign. The question, for those that are buying the DLC, is can (You) beat that time?
>>
>>149357278
Are the only decent goblin units the ones that ride on spiders / wolves and the shamans? Doing a greenskin campaign next.
>>
>>149358778
Aside from shamans they only good use of a goblin is to use him as an artillery shell.

Wolf riders cant kill anything fast and will die fast in turn. Spiders are ok but are fighting for slots against boar boys who are strictly a better option.

GS will almost never win the skirmish fight unless you devote way too many slots for it.

Sham is a good hero, Big Boss is decent on the map but not worth a slot in battle.
>>
>>149358658
Without a doubt.

Do you guys use vargheists when you play vc? I keep trying to use them effectively but the unit often gets wiped out before they can disengage from combat. Should I just go with a terrorgheist instead?
>>
>>149358778
Really early on you can make normal gobbos work well by spamming sneaky stabbin' on their blobs since it's aoe
The chariot isnt that good
Normal night goblins are borderline useless, fanatics don't do much, but their archers are decent due to poison attacks, although outclassed by the spider rider archers most of the time
Big boss heroes make for good assassins attached to your army and help with the leadership, with leveling/gear they can take on warbosses well enough
Rock lobbas and doom divers are both pretty good if you can protect them with enough regular gobbos but they take awhile to unlock
the arachnarok is probably the best unit you can field but it takes forever and a ton of research to get your hands on it
unless you're deliberately restricting yourself to goblins, don't use them except for support (skirmishers, artillery, casters)
>>
>>149359125
vargheist and terrorgheist serve different purpose. use varg to shit on ranged units but have them fly off if melee dudes close in. use them in tandem with bats to shit on halberdiers or even cavs - send bats first then drop vargs on them.

terrors last longer in fights but they're not very killy. use them against monsters instead for that anti-large bonus

>>149253424
You are supposed to kill them before they unlimber, you silly person.
>>
>>149360387

Start by taking some territory to the east to have some economy (hamburg and some Slav territories).
Once the Franks are on the way, try to ambush them (use lots of javs), then start raiding and plundering their territory with a couple of small armies; don't bother with major settlements yet.
Keep it up for a while and the Franks will start to fall apart.

How stupid are these people? There's cases of beastmen using siege equipment in the lore, there was no such restriction on them on the tabletop, and just doing "guerilla raids" (i.e. putting the army in raiding stance then repeatedly pressing end turn) is fucking boring. Are these just Empirefags preemptively losing their shit?

its ever worse when your garrison army spawns on the opposite side of the field from your main army when trying to lift a siege. You're walking out of the same fucking gates, how the fuk does that even happen?

Literally the worst feature in the game. I can't believe that wasn't fixed in the first patch.

They are complaining about defensive sieges aka the easiest fucking thing to beat in the universe. You tell me.

I know this is a bug, but it'd be neat if there was an ability to make your reinforcements to come in behind the enemy due to tactical genius/out-fucking-skill. Maybe you could only unlock one out of it and lightning strike for balance.

Its also a chariot, so you give it move orders to force it to run through a formation, like a bowling ball.

it applies damage and charge bonus, aura effects, breaks morale and formation, and so on,

have one in an army and micro it.

does anyone else autoresolve their way through the chaos invasion?

Especially as the VC I have a really hard time bringing down doomstacks of chosen, chaos knights, and 4 headcanons per stack. Even when the odds are 75% in my favor I'll lose 3/4 of my army fighting armies with less than 500 guys in it. If those battles were fun at all I would actually play them. I wish chaos armies had more infantry instead of 1 lord, 2 heros, 4 cannons, a unit of infantry and the rest cav.

Yo, so I just had a battle where THORGRIM fought my level 1 vampire lord leading an army, and he was reinforced by ungrim

Their army comp was weird as fuck

Ungrim brings

x5 Cannon units x1 Grudge thrower
x4 gyrocopters (Thank god with steam and not brimstone)

x1 slayers
x1 long beard GW
x1 dorf warrior with great weapons

Thorgrims (lv29)memearmy is

x3 Grudgethrowers
x2 gyrocopters (steam guns)
x3 thunderers
x1 long beards, slayer, dorf warriors with great weapons
x2 Qllers

My lineup was a full end-tier vamp lineup

x4 grave guard
x4 grave guard /w great weapons
x4 Blood Knights
x1 Wight KANG
X1 vampire only with Invocation of nehek
x1 vampiress
x4 crypt horror


Ungrim enters from the left, thorrgim is positioned on the right. Ungrims 6 cannons will tear me up so I need to kill them before he repositions. Cue the charge of the blood knight brigade. 6 cannons focus firing wipes out one of my bloodknights to a quarter strength, and savages another. I manage to charge just before they unleash another volley and mop up all the artillery with my WIGHT KANG and the blood knights. However, Slayers, Dorf Warriors with GWs and Ungrim all manage to savage my blood knights before I disengage.I make the long return to my main blob to help them out with artillery, and am thankful that Ungrim will take a while to reach me

End result

x4 blood knight units with <10 models and no hp left


Whilst this is going on I piecemeal engage my infantry lineup, and unfortunately I stick 4 units on Throgrim. This nigga just wont.go.down. Seems to be going okay until their gyrocopter blob is hitting my grave guard from all angles - and let me tell you,they do some serious damage. By the time my blood knights manage to reach the right (east) side of the battlefield to silence the remaining 3 grudge throwers, I've lost all my Grave Guard with great weapons to gyrocopters, with the shielded variants and crypt horrors cleaning the limited infantry that the Dorfs brought
