Hey lads, I'm having an issue trying to play. Whenever I try to play total war warhammer the launcher doesn't work, I've tried to reinstall it and turn off my antivirus but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Beastmen are overpowered in battle but it's hell to get to build the high-end troops, you need patience and wait for Chaos to reveal fully your power level.

Try looking through the task manager and see if there's any background processes running, that occasionally stops the launcher from working.

Tips for others:

2. Build building that allows you to recruit Cygors
3. Recruit many Cygors

Everybody who is wondering if he should BUY the BEASTMEN DLC:

>Are 17 bucks normal for a faction dlc?
CA answered on Facebook that the high price was justified by large amount of animations they had to make new. It might be true, it might be an exaggeration, but it is rather irrelevant from buyer's perspective. I judge the price by what it has to offer. And from what I saw in the description on Steam, they reuse quite a lot of elements from the main game: horde mechanics from Chaos (I know, technically it's a DLC, but most of us have it already) without infighting attrition (hoorah), fightiness meter and Waaagh armies from Greenskins, terrain-ignoring movements similar to Dwarfen and Greenskins' underway system, etc. The quest battles are also fewer: 2 for Khazrak the One Eye and only one for Malagor The Dark Omen. On the plus size, there seems to be new atmospheric Beast-Path battle maps, which are likely to take place in deep forest. Finger crossed for how it looks like.

>All in all, it does get more expensive. Rome 2 and Attila's campaign packs cost only 15 euro per piece. I myself would still buy it. I'm rather sure that would keep me entertain for a few dozens of hours of gameplay, which would make it really cheap on money-per-fun basis.

>>149903292

Total Warhammer is so fucking frustrating.

I know that in a year it'll be GOAT. I really do think when the game has elves, and skaven, and tomb kings, and lizardmen (possibly), and a few other races it's going to be a seriously amazing game.

But right now it's so bloody boring, because of the lack of variety. Sure there are a lot of mini factions, but they all have the same units. When you play as the orcs, you seriously spend 80% of the campaign fighting orcs and dwarves, and only near the end do you get to fight anything else.

boys, is the vigor reduction skill worth it? I like the idea of sprinting my beastmen around, never tiring. But +12 attack might calculate to be better

>>149905408
Yes, very worth it.

Your units don't just get tired from running but from combat and getting tired quickly degrades your units to nothing.

>>149905408
Take it if it interests you. I would think your minotaurs and other big units would do most of the damage, and the strength of beastman infantry is their maneuverability.

Just beat the new campaign.

Beastmen are so horrible everyone goes insane and kills themselves?

>>149906012
Yeah, that is another problem.

Every playthrough feels very linear, especially thanks to you only being able to conquer certain territories as certain races.

As the Orcs, you could try to do some sort of cheeky rush the empire strategy, but ultimately it'll fail because you can't expand.

It doesn't help that there is also a lack of variety. Why the hell do you spend so much time fighting humans as the empire? That makes no sense to me.

I do that as the Orks and it's actually a pretty good strategy.

He has a useless trait (seriously? +10 to relationship with undead?), starts with WAY worse units (I mean WAY FUCKING WORSE), is way worse than Grimgor until he hits level 8 and can start to get magic (and even then, Grimgor is still better, he just isn't as bad).

They really shit the bed with Azhag. They either should have given him magic from the start, or made him a more powerful spellcaster and go with his undead theme. Fuck it, make it so when you reach level 12 or 14 he gets a quest battle, and at the end of it he can take off the crown and get a boost to his leadership and become a more traditional orc boss, or make it so he can go full on possessed, and can start to raise dead and gets huge spellcasting bonuses (but you automatically go to war with the other orc factions and can't make them join you any more, you have to conquer them).

As he is now he's just a boring melee fighter who can throw out a spell or two in a fight, and is way worse than the other legendary lord.

>>149906653

>>149905235

I've tried playing it twice now, and both times the dwarves seem to just confederacy up really quickly, and then I have full stacks of superior dwarven units that are simply better than mine.

So beastman get rank 9 and 6 level troops easily and no nearby horde attrition. There is no reason not to spam stacks of ugor spearman and archers. Adding the buffs too from technology, the general, and the gorebull, they become a potent force.

>>149908320
Don't bother getting the entire province around Black Crag at the beginning. Get a tent instead of a gold mine, level 3 goblin workbench is a must have.
Make peace with the Dwarf after beating up Grudgebearer once, expand south asap. Having both Black Crag and Karak Eight Peaks sets you up very nicely.
Rock Lobbers and Boar Boyz are your best bet against the Dwarfs until you get the good stuff.

My one gripe about TW:W is how the "horde" races like orcs and beastmen still keep these perfectly drilled formations.

>>149910092
>if you want to hate yourself
Dwarf campaign on VH will make you hate yourself either way desu.

>>149910310

I want to agree but ultimately it just feel like playing a race that can't form up properly would be unplayably fucking annoying.

A $50 videogame in 2007 is a $60 videogame today ($58.72). But you still only pay $50 for most games. Not to mention that games are far more expensive to produce now.

That's why DLC exists. Videogames are a platform to sell DLC, not a product in and of themselves.

Then don't buy it. But don't sit here and bitch that it exists when the reasons why are perfectly obvious.

Holy fuck. All respect for /twg/ lost, this place is a bigger fucking joke than /b/ and /v/ and /r9k/ combined.

Fucking sad. Total War used to be an awesome game with an older, more intelligent fanbase and a dedicated developer. The young fans were based as fuck because there weren't as many but they had damn fine taste.

Those days are over. It's gone beyond disgusting to just utterly disappointing, like watching a good friend get cancer and slowly die.

I'm sure you'll be happy as the next DLC will be a unit sound pack that fills the Total War© battlefield with the sounds of carnage and war! Speculation about following DLC's are a Save thine Game© Save Game feature and maybe a Desktop Shortcut DLC pack for $3.99 with your choice of desktop shortcut icons from all the iconic Warhammer© factions so you can get back to the battlefield faster after those CTD's!

Also don't forget to pick up the Winds of Warhammer© DLC that brings the battlefield to life even more as the trees and grass actually move with the wind! Only $2.99 in the Steam Store!

Decided to go outside of my comfort zone in TW for once. I usually fear real battles because I think I'm terrible, but this one went surprisingly well. The enemy consisted of two small armies, mostly consisting of spearmen and greatswords/swords, crossbows, and the two lords. I managed to take out the lords quite quickly, and whittled down their other soldiers in short order. Hopefully this success lasts when I decide to fuck up Carroburg proper.

Haven't actually played MP with beastmen yet, but they have the potential to be strong as fuck going by what little testing I've done. GW minotaurs cost only 100 more than Demigryphs and kills pretty much anything, including the Halberd DGs, and they have access to really good spells, with Lore of the Wild, and Death (dunno if Beasts measure up). Bestigors seem to be good as well.

>>149915551
working on it senpai

I hope they can do better in future campaign DLC because to be completely blunt it was pretty weak. They kept hyping it's "narrative" and "scripted" focus but the extent of that was basically a series of text prompts when you defeated the mission factions. Which granted is what I expected but I thought it would be at least a little more interactive like The Last Roman.

No special voice acting, no dialogue between Toddy and Goatfuck, nothing really special about it at all. Honestly the best part of the whole mini-campaign was the zoom in of that chunk of the Empire. Really getting a nice granular look at it and all of it's massive fucking dark, foresty goodness was pretty cool. But beyond that it wasn't very good.

I think for $17 it's fair since the Beastmen are actually fun to play on the Grand Campaign (read: hilariously OP). But CA has to do better with the mini-campaigns if they want avoid future criticism. I'm hoping they deliver something great with the Wood Elf campaign that's due out in a couple of months.

Ultra unit sizes does make the magic less good, but 1. you're playing Beastmen and their magic is overpowered even on Ultra and 2. you should be playing with a mod to buff magic in any case.

Even without mods it's still more worthwhile to play on ultra since the game is just more fun that way, in my opinion anyway.

That each model in each unit has a high chance of resisting the damage of the spell. If the chance is something like 75%, it means only a quarter of your unit will get damaged. Though this doesn't mean much since it basically kills the units that don't resist.

I don't find that at all. Their general infantry is inferior to mine and their cavalry can be seen off by my low tier spearmen.

That said, I haven't fought anything other than Brettonia so far, so maybe Brettonia is simply less facerolly than the others.

>>149917386
Yes you can change the battle difficulty once you start campaign. It just gives enemies morale buffs

>>149916018
I, for one, wish they would sell the races and then the race/mini-campaign separate.

Because I've never liked any of the mini campaigns (except, maybe, the Justinian one, that one was alright), and I feel like they use the existence of the mini-campaign to jack up the price.

I'd gladly pay $10 for the beastmen and just the beastmen.

Anyone else here use the mod that makes the AI recruit actual armies?

It has made the game probably twice as difficult. No longer do you fight units of 15 archers which you can kill with 3 units of cavalry.

Trying to get a long campaign finish on the Beastmen campaign is such bullshit.

Forcing you to rely on AI competency by making you confederate 2 other tribes is nonsense if there's a chance they get wiped out the turn I discover them. I literally destroyed everything by the end and had to settle for short victory.

Also, gorebulls are pretty much compulsory. As well as being absolute shitkickers they have army-wide buffs. Having the centre of your battleline with +15 leadership, +15 armour, and 20% missile resistance helps solve some of the beastmens' main problems.

All the Beastmen heroes are strong, the bray shaman with lore of wilds is OP the AI tends to blob up so a cast of devolve can win you any battle.

Haven;t used gorebulls at all. Pointless when all you do is have some gors with shields, units of minotaurs behind and some cygors and spam wyssans and flock into the melee.

Have them follow your main army around and leech xp off their victories.

Just win battles?

By then end of a campaign they will be level 30, also make sure you have your hordes up early because late game a new horde is to expensive and weak.

Tried launching the exe, didn't work, verifying now.

Gorebulls are a necessity I find. The troop exp training buff plus all the combat buffs.

Not to mention they wreck in battle

Not that anon, but yeah even like a transparent tree would have looked nicer than no foliage.

Since when people are paying for their games ? Seriously, it's like the new generation doesn't even know how to torrent a game.
