What will the campaign win conditions for the upcoming DLC races be?

Goblins?

>>151054224

>GROUP ATTACK
>Group units with ctrl + g
>Select your group and right click the enemy

Now, I've been using Ctrl + [Number] to put my units into squads, and it doesn't seem to trigger then.

Does it have to get the G button? Because it always turns into a attack move when I do that.

>>151054506

>>151054698

make sure the group is locked, there's a lock icon next to the group number

>>151054780

Ah, that's the reason.

Thanks.

It will happen with Ctrl+# if you have group lock set to default behavior (not the default setting).

Wood Elves - Kill of WoC as everyone else. Wipe out vampirism in the world and Beastmen needs to go too.

Bretonnia - Crusade 10 different something something. Kill off WoC, Unite the Bret-lands. Empire must survive(not likely).

Skaven - Wipe out dorfs, defile dorf capital and Altdorf, last clan standing, revenge on grimgor.

Got back into playing Med2, decided to play some of the factions which I usually haven't, since my favourites tended to be England, Portugal and Denmark.

So I gave Hungary a shot.

It is turn 80 and I crushed six Mongol stacks in six consecutive night battles with the same stack of 1 general + 19 Hungarian Nobles

Why did no one tell me about Hungary sooner?

To be fair they had two wrap the entire setting up in a bunch of books, in a franchise that generally doesn't have that much compared to 40k.

If only they hadn't killed the setting and started with that birthdefect known as Age of Sigmar. Who the fuck thought it was a good sequel and successor to WHFB.

This really bothers me.

>>151065216
There are so many subtle references and allegories to Nietzschean philosophy in the Radious mod that so called "understanders" will never understand.
When people dismiss Radious and his works they're actually enabling him to ascend from his old self into the Übermensch of mod making, while they themselves indulge in slave morality represented by the authoritarian institutions known as "lore". Note how the lore is never represented by a single individual, only the faceless GW. The essence of slave morality (represented as "the lore" and "faction differences") is adherence to GW and rational game-design: The good is what is lore accurate, not strong and balanced units for everyone. CA does not see beyond this simple morality, but Radious does.
While decrying the mod, the "understander" will dismiss Black Orcs using bows. He does so out of misguided anger, furious that neither his faith in CA nor lore-knowledge has given him a game where he can do what he pleases with no restrictions on his choices, while the Radious mod can. At the same time, Black Orcs shooting at the sky symbolizes the death of GW (representing God) as a source of morality (lore) for the people. In understanding this one's belief is finally set free, and one can finally play a game where you have access to unlimited money and power.
With the Radious mod, the entire worldview based on slave morality is destroyed. He's destroying old thoughts such as lore. He's destroying assymetrical faction balance. He's destroying boring money limitations. He's destroying even his own reputation among the plebs as he overcomes his old self to become the over-man. In this destruction, a new idea of strategy games rises from the wreckage - the triumph of "balance" over "lore".
But if balance and money triumphs over "lore", the only meaning of the game is then the unrestricted will to power (money), and that means only the Übermensch will prosper. There can finally be true Total War.
Bravo Radious.

Better than Attilla. I have a R9 270X and run at 60 frames on the campaign. On most battles it's around 45-60, but obviously drops when I zoom in, but not that much. I do play on the lowest though.

even if the dudes nearby are messing with your corruption, just do gibbet + wall in minor settlements and keep some stacks of zombies and skellies around to steamroll rebellions

Hungary historically was the first to BTFO the Golden Horde iirc
After the first mongol invasion tore apart Hungary they decided to build a big network of interconnected castles so they could force the horse fuckers into having to lay siege in order to take anything of value while the hungarians and their friends from Europe would raid mongol caravans and ambush scouting parties
Eventually they fought and the mongols got slaughtered

>>151075998
...Okay, I'll be crossing that one off the list of viable mods then. What the hell happened to him? Didn't he do alright work for Shogun 2?

>>151075791

Unit mod adds a lot of new stuff but it's lorebreaking as fuck. Like, hilariously lorebreaking. We're talking Bretonnian knights armed with bows kind of lorebreaing.

The campaign mo basically gives the AI and player a ton more money. That's about it.

>>151075792

Quarrelers, son.

I don't want to take it though i want Zhufbar to do it for me, going there is a pain

>>151073852
There's some interesting stuff in here. Greenskins are seemingly extremely unlikely to recruit Boar Boy Big'uns because they don't have a line for Shock Cavalry in the recruitment database. They also only have a 1 for artillery, so you almost never see rock lobbers and doom divers. Personally, I've only ever seen Grimgor's starting doom diver and 1 or 2 rock lobbers. The beastmen's numbers are also set to 1, which I guess is just "recruit whatever is available", but their AI could be in a separate file from the other factions.

Anyway, so far I've done

>Beastmen - more everything, but mostly more gorebulls, monstrous units and line infantry with some cavalry and cygors

>Chaos - no horse archers, more cavalry, more army heroes, more giants, wayyy more infantry, more monsters, less chariots,

>Dwarfs - little less artillery, embedded melee lords, bit more melee lines, less ranged, more flying

>Empire - little less artillery, more cavalry, much more shock cavalry, more heroes, many more mages, more greatswords and halberdiers, less cav archers, less archers in general, more vehicles [chariots (luminarks) and tanks] - also applies to Tilea/Border Poofters/Estalia/Kislev to a more thematic extent

>Waaaghs - more giants, infantry

>Greenskins - more artillery, added shock cav, less missile cav, more heroes, way more melee units, less archers, more monsters, less spearmen

>VC - Slightly more flying packs, more cavalry because blood knights, more shock cav because the value before was 1 (!), more heroes, more infantry, less low quality infantry, more monsters, less black coaches


I want it to be more like you're facing a human composed army, but that would require me finding out a way to unfuck the way the AI builds settlements up right now, like how they build armories in T3 settlements, which locks them out of greatswords and demigryphs there forever. Can't recommend the 'tier 4 minor settlements' mod enough for this.

>>151076275
His mods started to get bloated instead of being "pick-what-you-like" tweaks.

>>151076476

Can you do any form of diplomacy with the Southern Kingdoms and Kislev? I'm giving the dwarves a shot and while I spent most of my greenskin campaign keeping the Border Princes around jsut to loot from them I wouldn't mind actually trying to do some form of diplomacy with them outside of just sending some stack down to kick them in on occasion or burn the land to the ground.

Seems promising.
Not a huge fan of all the dwarf changes considering range is their thing, chaos should possibly have a few horse archers, and too many mages could possibly gimp empire without the right magic mods. Otherwise I think it looks good.

best first faction to play as in Warhammer

>>151077481

Yeah I was honestly debating the dwarf thing. They do get more unit XP buildings than other races and they get a black powder one and artillery one bordering their capital region.

I disabled chaos' horse archers just for norsca, but not actual chaos. They still field a few. It was more of a personal thing cause I find chaos really boring to play as since I fucking hate marauder horses and end up autoresolving the majority of battles since the AI has a hard on for them.

anyone else think that as player controlled chaos (only) there should be a mirror feature of the good guys 'shield of civilisation? like the moment you kill big bird with archie all the chaos aligned factions that are still around, like the Norscans and beastmen are inclined to band together under the everchosen to go forth and rape

I know that by that point in a chaos campaign you don't need it but it feels like it would be more lore friendly, rather than me smashing through hordes of beastmen and norscans as well as empire and dwarfs etc.

Thanks.

So far, only cdir_military_generator_template_ratios_tables. That has the affinities for recruitment, located in data.pack -> db.

I am trying to find out what file tells me what unit belongs to which groups. There's Default_land_infantry_monterous (spelt wrong, yes) and Default_land_monster - I dunno which affects what gets recruited, so I keep them the same value. I'm trying to find the file that correlates to those values so I can create new groups, for example "Default_land_expensive_infantry" and put Chosen and Ironbreakers and shit in it, so they aren't lumped in with Miners or Chaos Marauders.

Shortly before the screenshot, Greenskins confederated the Red Nose or whatever, who start farrr in the north, near the Chaos Wastes. Kinda weird.

>>151081567
They're not as reliable as grudge-throwers.
They're not as devastating as organs.

>>151081567
Extremely inaccurate, can't rotate vertically so they can't adjust their aim as easily. They are good if you can build them with a high rank (Mount Gunbad, for example) but you are better off just getting Organ Guns and Grudge Throwers, which are more effective than whatever the cannon can do even at level 1.

What's the craziest thing to happen in your Warhammer game? So far all mine have been pretty normal which is disappointing.

Herrimaults
I.e. bretonnian robin hoods.

>>The harsh laws of Bretonnia turn many peasants into outlaws. The acts that many nobles commit with impunity turn many outlaws into avengers. The herrimaults hold themselves above both groups by keeping to a strict code of morality. Whilst they operate outside the laws of Bretonnia, they do so because the laws are unjust. A herrimault always acts rightly.[1a]

>>Of course, most Bretonnian nobles see no difference, and so the herrimaults are hunted as enthusiastically as other outlaws. A herrimault’s ethical obligations do bring popularity among the peasants, and the braver souls often seek to join up. Even a few nobles, shocked by abuses they are unable to legally prevent, have been known to take up the bow of the herrimault.

So I've found the file I was looking for that has all the units and the correlations, but I dunno how to add a new unit group type yet. Best I can do is change some units to a type that is currently unused by that faction, example, turn ironbreakers into 'cavalry' and crank up the dwarf cavalry production.

What do you guys think of a house rule where you get to only play as the Legendary Lord you pick at the start of the campaign? That's 'you', so to speak.

You must play out every single battle with your LL, be it a complete wipe auto resolve in either direction, and you must auto resolve every battle not involving your legendary lord, be it a complete wipe in either direction.

If they're recruited with a gold bonus they'll win easily.

Lore of shadows and new LL for vamps this month, i am excited.

What is the new LL about, was it Konrad Von Carstein that people think it will be? What will he have different to manny.

Also whats special about lore of shadows, is it worth waiting for it to be released before i do my Empire campaign.

>>151093918
the new lord will be Nagash
he heard manny talking shit an is here to slap his shit

>>151094459
But Nagash was weak

>>151094459
Imagine Mannys face when Nagash comes back and tells him he is in charge here.

>>151094501
fuck you manny, I know where you live you

>>151094651
>live
But i don't

>>151094651
Manfred is the rightful leader of the Empire, and a great guy all round. Manfred is my leader, not some pretender Nagash.

Which is worse fr morale in M2TW? Not having a general in the first place, or getting him killed?

>>151093645
How do I do this lads.
If I keep my boys in a line they get massacred.
Do I have to pull some Spanish Square shit or something?

As it turns out two full stacks of skeletons and zombies can take on a Chaos stack and at a pretty good cost too. I have to say there's something nice about drowning your foes beneath a tide of bodies till they're too tired to put up much of a fight.

>>151095001
show what exactly you're going against and what the battlefield looks like

>>151094916
>nagash created vampires
>not the true ruler

>>151094501
>Nagash
>The necromancer who created vampires in the first place
>the necromancer which turned all of Khemri into tomb kangs
>The necromancer which was so strong that the skaven had to make a sword made entirely out of warp-cocaine and FUCK YOU levels of magic just to kill him when he was in a vulnerable state
Manny is pretty delusional but saying that Big Daddy Nagash was weak is really fucking stupid, even for him.

Nagash got all of Scavendom to unite against him which honestly speaks for itself in how much of a threat he was.

This is my first army. I got a second one with gold upgrades building up at home.
My reserves are 5 units of Yari Ashigaru and 3 units of Matchlock Ashigaru.
Terrain is mostly plains with some hills on which I placed my arty.

Shadows is mostly about buffs and debuffs. There's like 2 damage spells; and giant swinging pendulum and something like a big fuck-off explosion. Also, if you cast a spell successfully, the caster can switch places with any other friendly character, so expect shenanigans if that's added in some way.

New lord will be Zacharias the Everliving, he casts from 3 lores of magic and doesn't afraid of anything. Is also good in melee somehow.

>>151095710
Attila is mechanically superior and I like the setting more.
Many people like Rome 2's setting more though.

>>151095676
enemy will route on first barrage

>All this Manny posting
That's great and all but WHERE IS KRELL?

>>151095197
Dont forget the fact that the sword was so deadly it killed (semi slowly) any Skaven who touched it, and the human who wielded it instantly turned into a drunk and died shortly after "killing" him. And that Nagash was such a great mage, that a dozen grey seers killed themselves hiding the party entering the castle to make sure they couldnt be found.

When that happened Manfred caused the end of the world.

>>151095676
oh shit.. Shitto-kun? is that you?

>>151095676
Do you have modded unit sizes, without tercios being brought up to the same level? Tercios should only be one size step below katana samurai if I remember correctly.

>>151095878
They didn't though. They fucked me.
>>151096072
Yeah I fucking suck. I'm pretty good at Empire and Nappy but this shit I can't do for some reason.

>>151095930
Even Krell would be impressed!

>>151096303
I'm running Darth Mod. Maybe he balanced that shit differently.

>>151096313
didnt we tell you like six or five months ago to get more melee units? you need to keep a 40/60 or 50/50 ratio, you need suckers to stop the enemy movement so your children of the only true god can rack those kills shitto

>>151096313
>good at empire
>where you just take Prussia and your superior units shit on everything
>where a full stack of Otomans cant beat a half stack of Gregorians

>>151096504
This is the first time I posted about Shogun 2 in /twg/.

>>151096313
i didn't see all the generals they had

very unlucky

Are all the faction unlocker mods still dead?

I hate how annoyingly effective chaos warhounds and mounted marauders are

They keep wrecking my shit

>>151096872
Crossbowmen fuck the shit out of mounted marauders. Keep a melee reserve nearby to deal with flanking warhounds.

Looks like it. If it was vanilla they'd be the same size as bow samurai. This makes them a lot more vulnerable in melee unless they got their stats buffed. You should still be able to win if you position yourself so that the enemy numerical advantage is negated. Micro and positioning so that they can keep shooting, plus holding them off with spear walled ashigaru should help. They're also better in melee than spear samurai.

>>151096661
you're either bullshitting me or you're a fool like your predecessor shitto-kun the first.
In any case Shitto-chan the second, get more meat for the meat wall, bind the samurais down and shoot the fuckers, position the matchlocks in a way that they can shoot into the samurai ranks even when they are butchering your ashigarus, a hill will suffice. The AI will charge you because of the artillery.
