I think thats one of the reasons they put Khazrak over there. Fuck over the rather cushy Southern Realms in order to preserve actually important factions.

Estallia and Border Princes can sometimes sweep their respective northern neighbors. I've seen Averland get rekt by BP a few times recently though I do use the southern realms mod to give them a few goodies.

Both, and find a patch that adds kingdoms blanc changes to the main game.

One of them any thing I don't understand about CA, the did a fair amount of blame fixing in kingdoms(nerfing cav, buffing spears and two handed swords)but never patched it over to the grand campaign like the lazy fucks they are.

>>149510690
Bretonnia needs a unique mechanic if it's to be a major faction. I propose a m'ladyness meter, which turns your faction into vampires if sers knights hadn't tipped their helmets to the lady lately.

So which fucking general?

>>149511716
And some new units

Like questing knights for anti large cav and some men at arms that are slightly better and/or armed with swords/axes.

Crusade mechanic.

It can be:

1. You get free units from the other bretonnian factions when you call a crusade

2. You get to send an ai stack against a city when you call a crusade

3. The medieval 2 version with all that free upkeep and boosted movement range.

Any good ideas?

So decided to play some Chaos campaign since it's still a bit until beastmen comes out.

I decided to go very heavy with my chaos warhound numbers and it's really worked out. Those little bastards are golden vs early armies. Force enemy to engage in a jagged line and gang up on one portion to cause a route. Then have them pull out of combat to chase the routers to make sure they never come back. Good vs enemy marauder horseman too.

Also I think Cascading Fire-Cloak may be my most underestimated spell. It's an incredibly cheap 5 cost and provides an area significant melee defense and a damage boost. It's easy to just cast it on your main blob over and over in a fight early game.

I could actually see the skeleton alone taking a few weeks. Part of the minotaur/gor thing thats hard is the fact they have totally different legs. However, they also have a tons of muscles and skin deformation going on which is part of the rigging.

From what I'e seen of the Jabberslythe. It's a giant musclar thing, with prominent wings, extra vestigal limbs, a giant tail, and a giant tongue. The tongue and tail are the easiest bits in that list.

It looks like a fascinating project but it'd be an undertaking. I don't even know what engine restrictions may exist that make this even harder. Video game rigging tends to have restrictions on the number of joints.

I'd sooner expect Monster Hunter to pull off a Jabberslythe because it's similar to a lot of creatures they've already done.

I guess the ambush reliance is because of weak ranged options and no armor, in melee they will be good hopefully
In multiplayer they'll be fucked because half the army will be dead before engaging in melee...

>>149539095

This, we've seen how much they struggle in a straight up fight vs. an average empire stack.

>>149538385

>>149539095
>>149540859
I'm thinking they'll go one of two ways

1.they will be monsters in melee with high defence skill and attack, beating most or all in a straight up fight, balanced by the fact they have little to no armor or ranged units making them vulnerable to missles, especially units like out riders who can easily skirmish them to death. Kinda like most barb factions in Rome 1 and BI.

2.Be rather weak overall, with their only decent units being melee infantry, though these are still only a match at best for most factions and rely on player tactics with ambush and vanguard deployment.like the celts in atilla.

Hopefully they are the first.

So what difficulty and what combination of mods should I use in order to get the most difficult, but still fair experience possible in Wahammer?

Playing Empire, I feel like I'm just building infrastructre for a long time. Just trying to get money before I do anything that could end in a war. Anyone else just sit for a while to prepare things?

>>149541389

I doubt the first will be the case. They'll have some good melee and specialist units with the centigors in particular having a lot of utility, but I don't see their line troops being top of the line compared to what's already in game.

Being able to out-fight everyone isn't what Beastmen are about.

Who is a good little Shogun?


btw. What is the "weeb" race in warhammer?

>>149550893
Nippon for Fantasy
Tau for 40k
Idk for AoS

>>149550802

I'm missing the map. fuck
thanks anyway

>>149550893
Nippon mostly, although Cathay (not!China) has ninjas.

>>149550936
possibly skaven given clan eshin though Dark Elves are waifu shit.

>>149550893

No real weeb race

>>149550936

Guess they didn't made armybooks for those, except for the Tau?

>>149551169

>>149550936


Nippon isn't really a part of WH:FB, it's only mentioned passingly in the lore.

>>149551169
Nope, there's a few fandexes but nothing official. Ogre kingdoms is as far east as they ever went.

Inevitably, there's fuckwits on the TW forums that think Nippon, Cathay and Ind should be in the vidya. One chucklefuck was even arguing they're more important to have in the game than elves.

>>149542237

I did that as Britain. Sit tight, build economy, keep relations good and do mad trade.

Early game battles are shit in Empire, anyway. You have boring units and the artillery isn't fun.

So AoS is Age of Sigmar right? IS it like Fantasy Warhammer 2.0 or did the Chaos win everywhere?

>>149550936
The Everchosen is pretty weeb in AoS. Situations get 68% more anime when he arrives.

>>149551616

Yep
>IS it like Fantasy Warhammer 2.0 or did the Chaos win everywhere?
It's actually new setting, after Chaos win and destroyed WHFB world.

Nah, /tg/ is okay with AoS and most of anons likes it.

>>149551616
It's set in the world after Chaos destroyed it, rebuilt be characters from WHFB who have since become gods.

It has it's tie-ins, but in general the lore is a lot more noblebright than WHFB.

In terms of gameplay, the game is much simpler skirmish-level game (although larger battles seem completely viable since the rules scale well), needing just 4 pages of rules to play compared to the 160 pages + armybooks of WHFB.

>>149551694
Yeah, /whfbg/ argues over it sometimes, but /aosg/ is easily one of the most popular threads on the board. There was a thread yesterday though talking about if it was successful or not, and the amount of voices talking about how popular it seemed far outnumbered the traditional "aos sucks its a failure" group.

Yeah, that was a bad way to explain it. I guess it had more "hope"? It seems like Chaos can be legitimately pushed back, unlike WHFB where you're fucked no matter what.

What happens if I have a quest but then the faction related to that quest gets obliterated? Will I never be able to get my quest gear?

>>149553692
It should jump right to the next step of his master plan the quest line.

>>149551991
The Age of Sigmar is the era where this stops and the big push back begins. The authors say that it's an age of hope and renewal. Basically the Fantasy Great Crusade.

Also Archaon has a redemption ac coming. Have fun with that.

got the rome 1 music mod for rome 2 and it's now a much better game
still feels a bit incomplete but it's at least 100x comfier now

What happened to the playable Mousillon mod I don't see it anywhere?

>>149553049
From what I played, yeah it's pretty good.

I'm subscribed to the following mods for AoC, I don't have them all enabled at once:

Some Factions Unlock
Sebidee's Charlemagne Expanded - Unit Roster Overhaul
97 new units | AoC unit pack
Age of Vikings
Season Effects for Age of Charlemagne.
The Dark Age: Charlemagne Reskin, Rosters, and Fixes
Age of Italia
Age of Britannia
Avetis' Slavs Reskin
Age of Charlemagne - UI more immersive
AoC faction emblems
Age of Charlemagne SLavic Factions + Theme of Sicily

>Basically the Fantasy Great Crusade.
Which means the next step will be Fantasy Horus Heresy, still more grimdark than generic piece of shit.

>>149554706
Thanks. I really like the time period in which it is set. Also I just saw a couple of episodes of Vikings and The lst kingdom, and while both series suck imho they got be hyped as fuck for the time period. Is Eastphalia fun? Would be my go to faction but it seems a bit easy (biggest power, edge of the map so not many fronts)

Thanks for the recommendations, gonna check through them and look which ones I'll subscribe to.

>Redemption arc for someone who has killed literally infinite innocents

That's more retarded than a redemption arc for Hitlee

>>149555623
I know what you mean, I tend to keep all the TW games at the ready in case I see something that randomly gets me hyped for the period.

I haven't played a campaign as Eastphalia, but it seems to look slightly easier than Westphalia, since you can use them as a buffer. That does mean though that you are closer to the slavs, who sound like they could be annoying.

>>149555834
Yeah same, the downside of this is that I binge-play a campaign but I never finish them, because ~200 turns I'm im already hyped for another scenario.

That's bullshit. The opinion is way more balanced now on /tg/ but it has not "turned around on it". Also Slavposter is giving AOSfans a bad name and keeps shitting up several generals like Infinity general, WHFB general and Total War general.

It's went from universal hate to balance and even slightly in favour, I'd certainly call that a turnaround.

> The name "Mary Sue" comes from the 1974 Star Trek fanfic A Trekkie's Tale. Originally written as a parody of the standard Self-Insert Fic of the time (as opposed to any particular traits), the name was quickly adopted by the Star Trek fanfiction community. Its original meaning mostly held that it was an Always Female Author Avatar

A Mary Sue is by definition a self insert for the Author

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't GW retcon Archaon losing to Grimgor? If so, that's probably the biggest indicator that Archaon is indeed a Mary Sue.

Afaik he headbutted Archaon and destroyed the Eye of Sheerian (or however it's pelled) but was beheaded in turn

Yet so true.

I just had the weirdest fucking battle.
I was defending a city as Vamps from Varg, and they outnumbered me 3 to 1.
I actually managed to hold them back and make them lose a lot of units, although one managed to slip through past my walls when routing, which was retarded, whats even more retarded was they regained leadership and touched the control point in the center of the city.
I immediately rushed over with black knights and Vargheists to kill them so they didnt get capture points, but here is the shit thing, i kept my units on the point to recapture, but the points kept dwindling down, the point was secured and there was no enemy units on it, but it still kept going down all the way until i lost.
I had lost Mannfred and all the high chevron units i had, im extremely pissed atm, what the fuck CA?

Sold all my tf2 items and i know have some money bound to my steam account. Thinking of buying it together with the blood dlc.

>>149559683

Whats to imply?

It's still expensive, so it's price prohibitive to kids who you want to try and get into the hobby. And the older dudes who grew up on 30 fucking years worth of WHFB development have no interest in jumping into a shaky new game. Also go to some of your LGS, no one is playing it. Granted no one was really playing WHFB either except a few older dues a few times a month, but that was still better than literally no one playing Age of Sigmarines.

Also from a personal perspective, the models are fucking hideous and over-designed. They lack any kind of soul and imagination and it all just strikes me as trying to 40K up fantasy with big apes in hueg armor.

Great book. For a classic, The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World by Creasy is another great book with maps and stuff.

>TV
Just go on youtube and look for battle documentaries by the BBC, usually pretty good.

Fuck me
After 2 campaigns I realize you can put more than one point into abilities

>>149562642
Haha, funny joke XD

hasn't the horse been beaten to death enough?

Why have the greenskins not mastered javelin spam in warhammer?

Whole lot easier that making those shitty bows seems to me

>>149562790
How did you not get this??
There are literally empty points next to the skills!!

This, overcasting and the quest teleporting show me how retarded the TW fanbase actually is

>>149562934
>didn't realize quest teleporting was a thing
>walked all the way back to norsca

I felt silly afterwards

>>149562934
Even on streams there are tons of people asking how invocation of nehek is powerful. They dont even see overcasting when the streamer does it.

Maybe the giant golden tick mark under it and the dots looking like a part of the embellishment?

>>149562520

>Maybe the giant golden tick mark under it
If you're not all too bright, yeah maybe.

>and the dots looking like a part of the embellishment?
What? How the fuck do they look like that?

I guess you're one of those guys who needs a tutorial to get how to move or jump?

I don't know where you are from, but here, a tick mark means something is done and complete

>>149561737
Flying units can't capture, on the offensive and on the defensive

>>149561130

Not until we know other races aren't getting their rosters cut
