Who is the strongest legendary lord at level 30, with all of the quests done?

Grimgor? Suneater? Everchosen? Karl Franz?

>>150254197
I would hope Everchosen

>>150254291
I don't know m8, Grimgor is a pretty fuckin' nasty git.

>>150254197
Grimgor for stand up fight, otherwise tie between kholek and Karl for battlefield presence

>>150254197

Strongest in what way? 1v1 it's Mannfred, but as army leader it's currently the crowfather cause Devolve is fucking broken

Finally finished the Greenskins, the beginning can be pretty hard but once you get 2 solid armies and the other ork factions are dead they have almost no chance to get a Waaahg

>>150254474
Really, Mannfred is that strong?

>>150254712

The combination of spirit leech and self heal along with having two abbilities to recharge winds is really strong. And being on a dragon he can kite a bit and get some leeches in before getting into melee, in which he is good, but not archeon/grimgor levels.

>>150254712
Spirit Leech can kill any Lord in three casts.

0-20 England
21-40 France
41-60 Roman Empire
61-80 Spain
81-99 Venice

>>150254712

Genevieve Dieudonné legendary hero when?

>>150254849
Rome it is.

Beastmen should be a guerrilla force, attacking your undefended small towns, very small armies, blocking trade and running away instead of trying to go for huge pitched battles, they should be able to go into a big forest and hide/disappear for a while, then come out.
They should be a constant nuisance, but not an existential threat.

>>150254890
Because MP is not the selling point of total war. Single player is why everyone buys total war.

>>150254197
If we're talking in a straight melee fight, Grimgor is the strongest. He beats any lord 1v1 in melee, and a level 30 Grimgor can decimate armies himself.

However, if we're talking Lords using all of their stuff to fight, Grimgor just gets kited around by the lords who can fly and or have magic. He'd lose to Azhag, even.

Of course, Grimgor is my favorite lord because nothing is more fun than getting stuck in with the boyz, and seeing him kill 500+ people himself.

Budget and time constraints, CA isn't a huge studio and Total War is a niche genre, so it doesn't pull a lot of money from publishers.
no
no, multiplayer campaigns are relatively new.

Dang. Cause it would be fun I think. You could have actual dynamic fights.

>>150255247
Choas Dorfs will never be in Total War.

They want actual races.

>>150255812
Shogun II allowed for drop in battles during a campaign, but no one used them. People didn't like losing battles they would have won against the AI.

so what does everyone think about beastmen? is it worth the price?

Do i have to play as Estalia to get some decent fights against beastmen?

>>150256676
>do I have to play as the faction that spawns next to a 6 unit beastman stack to get good fights with them

no, play dwarfs or greenskins and they will come. as dwarfs if you fight greenskins actively they will be too split to go after you and the beasts in their land, and if you play as greenskins you can 'help' the top kuntz fight the beastmen.

Starting up my first Beastmen playthrough in the GC. How should I play it out? Use one stack to harass/raid and let the other tech up? Should I focus on any one faction first, or just rampage around the uncloven?

>>150257202
You don't get growth or money by just sitting around, all your stacks should be making trouble. All of your buildings are done in one turn.

So is Rome 2 not a shit anymore? I shelved the game back when it came out but heard its decent now.

>>150257532
Khazrak just because I didn't want to start in the deep south.

So.... all my units are colored this ugly ass yellow. I thought everyone was like this until I started visiting these threads and see the same units but in cool red or blue.

Why did I get ugly gay yellow for mine and what can I do to change them?

>>150254825
his sword, the death magic leeching, master of the winds, and arcane conduit(?) all contribute to his magic, no?

>>150255956
I'm pretty sure current head to head campaigns let you control the ai against your opponent but I presume the drop in is no longer a thing

>>150258431
What mods are you using?

None of the Wood Elf units seem like they would cost a whole Charlemagne, except maybe the Sisters of Twilight or the Treeman. What units won't make the cut? I'm worried they'll leave out Warhawk Riders or ignore the Eagle until High Elves come out.

Also Sisters of the Thorn seem pretty unlikely desu

Any one else getting bored of TWW? I've finish the warriors of chaos, empire, and Beastmen campaigns on hard and gotten pretty far on the other ones, starting to feel like I've seen it all i guess. Maybe it would be more fun on higher difficulties.

I wonder how they're going to handle Skaven.

Considering Skaven's do a lot of assassinating, plague-bringing, and political maneuvering before war, they don't really play like a traditional race.

While it sounds fun to cause huge plagues and assassinate key characters before you bring in your army, it sounds really, really unfun to play against. Sort of like the agents in Rome 2, but even stronger and more annoying.

>>150261036
>agent spam
Do you even think before you open your mouth? How do you think people will react to a faction that just spams agents after the uproar around launch that forced CA to nerf AI agents, even though they could only do what you could do.

>>150261197
That is the point of me asking.

Skaven ARE the 'agent spam' race in Warhammer, and considering everyone hates agent spam, I want to know how they're going to do it.

And they're going to add Skaven, there is no way they're not going to. They're one of the most important races, right up there with Humans, Elves, and Orkz.

>>150261349
They are going to be a settlement race with a corruption mechanic like the VC.

>He is actually just a shitty melee lord who can cast a spell or two before getting tired and gets no real bonuses to show his 'amazing tactical knowledge and ability'

>>150261519
his tactics all came from his crown then when his crown disagreed with him he went insane and died talking to it in the middle of a battle.


He's a pretty shit un-orky warboss.

>>150261669
Yeah, but this game takes place when he was at the height (or close to) of his power.

He should really have something to show his tactical ability, even if it is from the crown. Rather than, ya know, +10 relationship with the undead that means jackshit.

>>150261519
Being the first ork to realize that feint is a valid strategy does not mean he's suddenly not an ork. Chopping is what orks do best.

>>150261669
He was a pretty powerful warboss. He won a lot of great battles and did a lot of good work.

Sure, he eventually died from going insane, but ya know. What are you gonna do? He is an ork wearing a crows possessed by an evil necromancer.

>>150261910
Yeah, but he is significantly worse than Grimgor at melee, and is worse than every other caster legendary. Hell, he is worse in melee than other caster legendaries.

I just wish he didn't fucking suck ass, because he is a really cool and interesting character, who they really do nothing with.

>>150261783
Actually if you read the description of Azhag on the legendary lord selection screen it just says he is an ordinary warboss but Shamans have a vision of him on a wyvern and wth a crown.

What the hell am I supposed to do as greenskins? I normally go ahead and take the entirety of death pass, but legitimately right after that I either A. go after the dwarfs, get fucked. or B. go down and continue shitting down Rotgut's throat for a couple turns before he runs away and the dwarfs start attacking and sacking Iron Pass.

What should I be doing?

>>150265167
Build more mobs. Yeah your income will hurt bad but you gotta attack on both fronts for a bit.

That, or try confederation on red spear or crooked moon. Sometimes they do early, and Sour from crooked moon makes a nice early addition.

If you're sure dorfs are coming after a town, set one of your stacks in ambush right in front of the city where they will come from. In my experience, AI forgets armies exist when they are invis and run right into militia+army ambushes.

>>150265969

>>150266078
Yes and no. The dwarves are the bigger threat early on for sure so build up that side a bit bigger. Push if you can. Make sure that territory one movement away from red rock is razed until you think you can hold the province.

>when the game actually finally tells you how to overcast spells 226 hours in
thanks for the tip fellas real helpful

also I'm a bit disappointed with Beastmen, mostly for the fact that I don't like horde mechanics, my preferred playstyle is generally turtling and that's hard to do with a bunch of evil chaotic rapist murderer destroy-all-civilization lads. Oh well, I'm sure not every single one of the overly expensive separate faction DLCs they release are going to be horde factions.

>>150272546
Unless they were particularly unsquishy or there was a better target, which there usually isn't, I tended to just aim all of my quarrelers at the enemy heroes. Don't really know how the game has changed, I haven't played it since before they actually finally tried balancing units.

>>150272976
>also I'm a bit disappointed with Beastmen

Kind of silly to expect a turtling style out of faction famous for hit and run and mobile combat.

I mean that's entirely on you.

>>150273241
I didn't expect anything else, I'm just disappointed that they were the first new faction to get released. There really isn't any conceivable way to make the Beastmen NOT a horde faction without doing some really weird abstract shit.

>>150273426
Well Wood Elves are apparently next and they're pretty heavily into ranged combat.

>>150272838
they miss 80% of shots but they have longer range so can hit when everything else misses.

Heroes are the best bet for killing characters for dwarfs desu. master engineers are the only ones that can shoot from range though.

I assumed at first that I was simply not using spells in the right places at the right time, but I've come to the conclusion that some spells are literally just fucking worthless trash that do virtually nothing at all except MAYBE if you had like 5 units standing on top of each other. And then, you might as well use a better spell to have a completely devastating effect instead of a mediocre one. I mean, what were they thinking with some of these? Are they supposed to be intentionally shit? I understand they have different costs and effects and AoE and stuff, but a spell which does a large explosion of magic damage against multiple targets shouldn't be so shit at blasting a massed number of weak enemy troops. I'm blowing up hordes of orks, not elite dwarf warriors.

What is the best abilities to tech up early on Manny? Should I spend points in spirit leech early on or something else?

How can you say that, look at those two fucking goblins, they're dead now and had no way to defend themselves, there was literally nothing for them to do except fall over and die, that's two goblin lives snuffed out right there because of Balthasar Gelt's murderous magic. Seriously though yeah the spell is pretty shit for how much it costs. It's kind of effective when you get a whole bunch of troops moving through it because they seem to ignore it, but for 16 magics it's not cost effective at all.

You'd probably want a reduced upkeep mod so the AI can field more armies.

That is assuming the AI even uses upkeep, sometimes I don't know.

The units aren't reskinned, but it's a bit shitty to advertise it having new army mechanics when it's just a mashup of Chaos horde gameplay and Ork WAAGHs. I probably wouldn't have a problem with it if it was half the price it is now. Just hope the other DLC is better or they spruce up Beastmen with some FLC later on.

Are there any mods unlocking the other factions in Eye for an Eye?

I didn't bother vassalising in the end, just wiped out all but one of them, Skaeling. Skaeling was never my friends, but when I left the North they took the mantle and created a large unified empire with two powerful stacks to bully Kislev and Nordland and Middenland and whatnot with.

>>150282485
No, they're retarded

But CA was retarded for making a campaign with no replayability (hurr you can't play as todbringer or orcs) and expecting people to just say "surely this covers the cost"

If they had even just enabled the orcs and todbringer in that campaign it would seem a lot more fleshed out

Beeline for lightning strike, then, depending on your army composition, go red line or make him a melee monster

don't bother with his spells, lore of fire is meh at best, the fireball is nice for forcing your enemy to come and so are the buffs, but nothing else

>>150261197
>uproar around launch that forced CA to nerf AI agents, even though they could only do what you could do.
People didn't complain because they couldn't stop them.

They complained because spending 70% of your game time clicking through menus to stop other agents was the fucking epitome of antifun and killed everything Total War was about.

Do lord levels do anything other than the skills you give them?

Also, i usually focus all my points in army bonuses and the bottom blue skill tree. Should i be putting more points in to the lord itself?

>>150285829
Burning Head regularly nets me around 200-300 kills during sieges, sometimes even during open field battles aswell. I'd have Archaon invest in cascading cloak and burning head at least, since Fireball, Burning Head and Cloak are all pretty good spells.

>>150286163
>Also, i usually focus all my points in army bonuses and the bottom blue skill tree. Should i be putting more points in to the lord itself?
Depends on the lord/faction.

If it's Grimgor/Franz/Archeon/SLAYER KING/ go full beast in their leveling and watch them solo half the army.

Wizard lords should be leveled to snipe the enemy lord and buff your own. i.e. Manfred

On Yeastmen every lord should be specced to fix that fucking glaring Morale problem your army has, and let the Gorebulls/Minotaur be your Lord killers.

>>150286663
What about Thorgrim?

>>150286643

The thing with Warhammer is, scantily clad, cute females don't fit with the overall theme. Both 40k and Fantasy is too extreme for them to fit in. Even the Sisters of Battle in 40k are fully armoured and rather serious, and the Eldar are fully armoured too.

Fantasy has the dark elves which are literally nude most of the time but still aren't very popular.

Other than cute vampire countesses or human countesses I don't see how you could fit cute, sexy and good female characters into the narrative. I mean I don't think any factions other than the Dark Elves have any female warriors. Sisters of Sigmar for humans maybe.

You're expecting one gyrocopter to do anything.
As far as I can tell, their only use is bombarding crowds.

>tfw your ineptitude at tactical Dawi brings shame to the clan
Still worth it desu.

>>150291247
No, you were paying $60 a game since Rome 1.

>>150291247
Not, but maybe you paid less for a far worse reskin like any TW and every dlc before TWW

>>150258270
Works the other way around too

Asur are superior.

You're just pleb.

Rome 2 does feel comfy, but Attila is by far my all-time fav TW game.

Try playing as one of the eastern empires in GC, to get your shit straight.
