QUESTION FOR LORE NERDS OUT THERE:

Is this picture official? if so does it mean that there are in-fact bear cavalry in the Warhammer universe?

I was under the impression only Tzar Boris of Kislev rode a bear into combat. This picture implies otherwise and seems professionally done/commissioned in a style similar to most of WHF's artwork.

Anyone know where this picture is from and if it lends any credence to bear cavalry as a valid army unit for Kislev?

>>150752016
You can see Gobbos there, its Goblin Wolf Riders in that pic not Bear Cav or Kislev

>>150752016
Think those are meant to be wolves. I don't know how tall you think high elves are but they're not that tall.

Can someone recommend me a good magic overhaul which makes killing magic non shit? I think the buffs are already fine, but damage spells just feel off and sometimes work but mostly dont.

>>150752016
If Bear Cavalry is a thing then CA will ask GW and get the okay to add Bear Cavalry to Kislev's roster when making the 20 dollar "OTHER HUMAN REALMS" DLC

Mother fucker has seen more action than Grimgor at this point.

>>150755446
Khazrak really isn't bad, he just isn't Archaon or Grimgor level. He tears shit apart if you throw him into enemy units.

Malagor has lore of the wilds which is obviously nice but devolve has left it largely just a mediocre buff/debuff tree with a cygor spawn. The cygor spawning is the main draw for Malagor, as well as the fact that you can pick Gorebull for your first hero a few turns in and have a really balanced herd.

>>150755734
>pick your starting units.

This is the key, in my opinion Khazrak starting with Minotaurs and starting in Estalia is what makes him the best pick BY FAR.

I'm keeping the Border Princes around at this point just so I can send Spite out to sack their cities every now and then.

Honestly Gorebull is probably the better choice for both now.

Nah Tomb Kings wouldn't have a corruption factor to them, they aren't really "evil" or "bad" guys per-say.

They would probably have similar rules to VCs in that they could take any human/vampiric holdings except Norsca. They'd probably have to raid/raze their way through the badlands.

We also had beastmen raids as events before the DLC, so maybe. On the other hand, other shit I've seen in events includes:
>Skaven
>Strigoi
>Lahmians
>Jabbaslythe
>Constant Drachenfels
It seems unlikely all those will be coming, but maybe I'm wrong. Also, don't think I've seen a wood elf related event, (the wyld hunt wrecking shit or something,) but perhaps I just haven't spent enough time in bretonnia to trigger one.

Any one tried this out?

Because they had months to work on Beastmen before release you dum-dum.

This, and if you believe the freelc prediction chart that's been posted recently it indicates that we'll likely have 2 DLC's before wood elves/bretonnia come out, meaning we won't get a race until October.

I don't know what to tell you, you're just flat out wrong and what you're saying doesn't make sense, there's no way in hell CA is gonna be able to shit out Wood Elves in 2 months unless the faction is hacked to the fucking bone. Not if they took the two months since release PLUS however much time they had before release to do the Beastibois.

In fact, since they're gonna announce and show footage for the DLC at least 2 weeks before it hits, it will have to be in a presentable state after at most 1½ months.

You're a fucking loon and/or know nothing about game development if you think that can be done.

Kraka Drak are just viking Dwarfs, hopefully they become playable when they start making DLCs for minor factions

Zharr-Nagrond/Naggrund is actually mentioned in game. Chaos Dwarfs are the ones who crew the Hellcannons and they sell slaves and artillery to other Chaos aligned factions. Like the Skaven they worship a god besides the Ruinous powers- Hashut, the Father of Darkness who takes the form of a flaming bull monster. The Chaos Dwarfs do not like the Skaven because the Skaven think their Chaos god and their artillery is better than the Chaos Dwarf god and artillery.

If we go by the russian leak 100%, is it possible that we could be getting 2 free legendary lords along with the hero/lore of magic, all at the same time for update 3 (DLC 4)? This is where I think we might see that the data in the russian leak is indeed out of date.

Please account for every stage of development necessary to complete a DLC like the Wood Elves race pack and how you could POSSIBLY think it plausible that it could be finished within 2 months.

Try to actually argue your case, explain how it could be done.

I mean, you evidently believe you know a lot about game development, so why don't you lay it down for the rest of us?

How fare our allies from the holds of Karak Bat?

Regardless, would it not make more sense to take into account the one dlc a month pattern, instead of denying it for no good reason? At the end of the day, yes this is all speculation, but what you're arguing makes no goddamn sense.

>>150769128

This, there's no way they weren't already being worked on prior to release. Same with beastmen and I assume other factions/the expansions are already being worked on.

Although I'm not even sure that's the argument he's making.

>>150768462
I thought the faction unlocker was broken?

>>150769128
They completed the beastmen faction in 2 months, along with a mini campaign, so it's obviously not as impossible as you're making it out to be.

I'm not the one whose entire argument lies on some claimed superior knowledge of game development anon. That would be you.

>>150769209

>Regardless, would it not make more sense to take into account the one dlc a month pattern

No.

>instead of denying it for no good reason?

You mean "No reason" like "It's actually fucking impossible given all the different sequential tasks that goes into the development of such a project"?

>but what you're arguing makes no goddamn sense.

I just don't fucking even.

What is going on in your head?

Do you think art assets are conjured by wizards?

Do you think Sega just pours money into a big machine at CA head-quaters that spits out product at a speed proportional to how much money they put in?

>>150769531

>They completed the beastmen faction in 2 months

Uh.

No they didn't

The DLC team was moved to Warhammer several months before the game released.

They have been at work for at least 4 months, possibly more, before the release of Call of the Beastmen.

>>150769106
VIKING DWARFS

How will the wood elves play like? I'm guessing fast lightly armored units with flying supports focusing on ranged, don't know if they have magic or cavalry though.

>>150769641
>it's literally impossible because development takes time
Amazing. I had never once considered that game development takes time, but thanks to this world shattering insight you have bestowed upon me, I can now see the light. Clearly all the patterns and leaks up until now are wrong, and you are right because you said so and have no evidence otherwise.

>They have been at work for at least 4 months, possibly more, before the release of Call of the Beastmen.
Source? Or should I just take your word as gospel because you have some greater claimed knowledge of game development shown by your astounding ability speak vaguely about it having "different sequential tasks"?

>100% accurate so far

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DLC leak listed Beastmen as "DLC 3".

It's only the third DLC if you consider the Blood Knights FreeLC to be part of the DLC line-up. Which would make the line-up look like this:

DLC 1 (Blood for the Blood God)
DLC 2 (Blood Knights)
DLC 3 (Beastmen)
DLC 4 (Lore of Beasts and Jade Wizard)
DLC 5 (Wood Elves according to leak)

So the Wood Elves (and Bretonnian FreeLC) would literally have to be the next DLC, which would contradict the FreeLC line-up which puts the Bretonnian FreeLC aftera Lord pack and another Hero/Magic Lore pack.


tl;dr: Leak is already incorrect, albeit not in a major way.

>>150771445

How do I get gud at Rome II? I had no trouble beating Rome I and Medeival II on hard. Now that I moved on to Rome II there is a new engine and everything and every time I seem to loose either right away or after 50-10 turns.

I managed to complete the campaign on easy as Rome, but any other faction I try to play, 3 AIs join forces to wipe the floor with me. I never auto-resolve and always fight my battles yet I always suck so much in Rome II. I never had this problem in R1 and M2. The fuck is wrong with me?

Well, that was different. Their starting units feel quite underwhelming (even knights of the realm got quickly chopped down by boyz if left to fight it out for a while), or I just need to get adjusted to this.

Just use Thogrim Grudge bearer. Probably one of maybe 2 good voice actors, the other one will make you want to murder whoever approved of the god awful voice acting.

Should I try to use ranged units to rout some of his army before they close the distance with me?

>>150781484
The best result i had were with using hexwraith but they're expensive
>>150782007
Thorgrim is the easiest to unlock

>>150782007
I feel like the Slayer King is a huge pain in the cock to unlock

Axe of Grimnir is hard to get, Slayer King hard to unlock- half the fucking difficulty with the dwarfs is because these assholes made it stupid easy for Grimgor to get Azhag and his weapons and hard for the dwarfs to get their shit

Chosen are like their name hints chosen by their own god given superior powers compared to man, it's not a fair fight to begin with.

Only faith,steel,gunpowder and unification can defeat such reckless powers.

Nigga, unless they cancel their plans, it's at least guaranteed as happening. Chaos dorf fans should be ecstatic they're getting an entire race.

Kislev fur DLC 4 plez

You always need to double team Chosen. almost nothing in the game stands up to a Chosen 1v1 outside of elite units that are much more expensive.

>>150782243
Yes, just use the thunderers on Grimgor, your quarellers and whatever you have on the rest of his army, unless you have some Organ guns

>>150782594
are those some sneaky gobbos in there?

>>150782831
>>150782594
I think that is how it should be, chaos should be melee powerhouse and its nice to see their units live up to how they are in the lore.

If Chosen lost to any mortal infantry it would be silly.

>>150782925
the few greenskin units in the game were mercenaries for Chaos so yes

>implying player controlled ungrim doesn't shit on AI grimgu

i feel like 20 is too big a maximum for an army. It should be 8, maybe 10, for nice comfy battles where each unit is meaningful

Which faction has best/strongest magic and wizard in the Lore?

Are Elves magic focused like in most fantasy?

>>150779307
I know about cycle charging, I didn't leave them there deliberately.
That was just an observation about how quickly they drop.

>>150783557
go play arena then and keep your cancerous ideas away from real total war games

WHERE THE FUCK IS GRIMGOR

HE TOOK A BUNCH OF HOLDS FROM KARAK AZUL SO I CAME DOWN TO FIGHT HIM AND HE JUST FUCKING VANISHES

FUCK YOU YOU FAT GREEN NIGGER

>>150783668
Lizardmen/high elves have the strongest magic and Mazdamudi is the greatest wizard

Elves are good at magic but mostly about elite troops

>>150783668
Cathay astromancers created what the Ogres revere as a god and almost destroyed their civilisation so probably them

Does the total war team pull one of the women in to do the voice acting - I swear it the same one every time

>>150784169
>I swear it the same one every time
so you mean all their VAs?

>>150783851
BEIN PROPA CRAFTY

>>150783557
30 is minimum.

>>150782597
GW was planning on making Chaos Dorfs a race but then ended Warhammer Fantasy anyway

>>150784246
I really hope the next historical game is built around armies with caps of 30

>>150772731
DLC 4 will be a legendary lord pack with a VC LL vs. an Empire one + a new lore of magic
