I want to be dominated by a best elf!

So whats better? Napoleon vanilla or Empire with Darth mod?

I really liked Warhammer until the Chaos came and fucked me up because I wasn't expecting it as well as the awful corruption.

What's the best pre Warhammer post Empire game? I don't like sea combat.

Dismounted Reiksgard when (it's lorefriendly)? Empire really needs some shielded high tier infantry.

>>151726314
They do, halberdiers are too squishy but I find you can get away with tercio formations(halberds with gunners interweaved) Only works OK late game if you have the extra attack and defense from your general.

Playing the radious mod for Attila, gotta say it's kind of funny fighting with pikes and longbows as the Geats.

>>151726486

>Beardlings

Just fucking stop.

Dwarfs do not and should not have cheap disposable units.

Some lines about younger dwarfs sometimes helping to defend in sieges do not justify this fan-fiction shit.

>>151726486
Bolt throwers too

>>151726486

But Radious already has a lot of new units. Just play that.

>>151725320
If Vlad didn't start the Vampire Wars he'd probably have one.

Honestly, if Vlad just tried more political fuckery he could've become Emperor without trying to war the Empire apart. If nothing else, a sort of Magnus gambit could've also worked.

Mannfred could probably pull something like that too. Wait until Chaos fucked up everything, fortify the fuck out of everything, start showing up and say "I'll save you faggots but you better make me a real elector count." From there, he would just need to politik for 200-300 more years and become Emperor.

>>151726774
Radious can't do more than mix and match existing models to a blasphemous end, crank the price dirt low, and make it easily recruitable.

but the beardlings dont fight
they hide with the womanfolk in the keeps when sieges happen while ironbreakers do all the work

>>151726486
About beardlings, it feels wrong for a "dying race" to send it's youths to war (especially, as an spammable resource), just my two cents

>>151726882
>Radious can't do more than mix and match existing models

Exactly. The unit list that anon made cannot be pointed as a modding request. It has to mean as a dream DLC unit list.

Basically the same thing thematically and redundant mechanically, Free Company should be in, but there's no need for a separate Militia unit.

Agreed.

Nope, Empire doesn't use pikes.

>>State troops(dont have proper aesthetics but are implented)

Already in the game, what do you mean by "Proper aesthetics"?

>>Knight Orders

Knights of the White Wolf could be cool but every other order is the exact same thing with a different coat of paint. Which is why, just like in the Tabletop, they're all covered by the Empire Knights unit.

>>Dismounted cav(though this one applies to all factions)

That's a mechanic, not a unit, and CA apparently doesn't wanna implement it.

>>Huntsmen

Sure.

Why would the Sever Watch be sent to war, much less in large regiments?

Absolutely.

>militia

Free companies are state-sanctioned and accompany state-troops in war. Militia is more of a rabble that rises in sieges, think like retainers in Shogun II sieges, not normal units.

>Pikemen
They do in the fluff, it's more flaunted in southern realms, but they still use pikes in the Empire. For example, the Black Hearts omnibus has it in it's novels.

>Knights of
Knightly Orders are not all the same, one example previously shown to you was White Wolf Knights who wield Great Weapons and worship Ulric. Every Knight Order is different in patron deity, creed, weapons, armor, etc.

>Dismounted
Is a type of unit(see: pre-Warscape) and can also be a mechanic

>Sewer Watch
They are already in constant war against Skaven, but would just be nice to wield them as anti-Skaven infantry(or at least have a bonus) considering the degree of fluff they have.

Literally coat of paint.

Putting in 15 barely distinct kinds of cavalry is the kind of shit modders should do (and already are doing)

For CA it's basically a waste of time, though adding a few of them as Regiments of Renown would be cool I guess, since they're basically supposed to be unit recolors anyway.

>>151727879
All slightly daemonic units (except the lord of change)

>>151728080
He means t hat in MTW2 for example, once you had a fortress you could recruit Feudal Knights as cavalry, and a seperate unit, Dismounted Feudal Knights, who were more numerous and armoured in the same way but without horses and lances.

>>151727540

>>151728241
It is not just a coat of paint, it is different stats, different blessings and magic, different bonuses(Preferred enemy, animosity, special items and mounts), different weapons(lances vs swords vs great weapons), etc. You are not a tabletop player, are you?

That was a long time ago to be fair, shitposters came(en masse) in mid 2014 and drove out most of the good /his/torians. The kind of autists who constantly complain, shitpost, and hate Warhammer. The kind of people who launch shitstorms every thread to take the attention off Total War games.

>>151728431
Most of the historical discussion that lasts for a while is centered around WW1/2, not even related to TW, and that's only when Ivan&Bob are asleep, otherwise it quickly turns into shitflinging as usual.

The most "historical" "discussion" about earlier periods were the guy pushing for pike&shot against the yawning shitposter or wanking about the Rome tv series.

>>151728638
You mean now? I mean I think we had a few during Attila by people trying to prove that it was actually a pretty interesting time period to people who didn't know much about it. Rome 2 just started a fucking fire though, before R2 we had a few discussions about Roman history not like anyone didn't know it

>>151729017
This. /twg/ sank in quality so much by Atilla. Osprey and campaigns were a (slight)majority of images posted before Rome 2. That one shitposter complains 24/7 but does not post historical campaigns or movies or osprey, just an idiot looking for trouble,

>>151729017

Regiments of Renown blog
>Spoilers: it’s somewhat… Grim
>The first Lords Pack will ship with 18 of them – nine for one of the core playable races, and nine for another.

They go out of their way to draw a distinction between the "core playable races" (ie. Empire, Dwarf, Orc, Vampire) and the "other", implying that they're for one of the expansion races, Beastmen or Warriors of Chaos.

You can also basically confirm it's the Empire LL Volkmar the Grim, because they specifically mention the new Empire regiments of renown but also Sigmar's Blood, a book/campaign as a source for some of (or all?) the new units. Spoiler: Sigmar's Blood is about Volkmar trying to stop Mannchild von Carseat from resurrecting Nagash.

As for who his rival would be the only other named, not dead adversary of Volkmar would be this Daemon Prince pictured, Be'lakor. Who was around during the time period TWWH is currently set. Although Volkmar did spent most of his time attached to Be'lakor's battle standard during the Storm of Chaos so it was sort of a lopsided rivalry.

You're retarded. They're not going to put out fucking DLC for DLC, and they're not going to give Chaos Warriors a fourth (4th) LL lord while other races still only have 2.

You also have a poor grasp of English; it clearly says 'nine for one of the core playable races and nine for another (of the same).' 'Another' means it's a different core race. They would specify non-core if that wasn't the case.

You can feel free to stop spouting bullshit any time.

This single unit covers every Knightly Order except Knights of the White Wolf.

There are no Knight units with preferred enemy rules or magic blessings or any of the crap you're spouting off about, at least not in the edition that CA are actually adapting.

Orders are, like the provinces, just a way to determine theme and colour scheme for your plastic toys.

Now if you want to keep insisting that you're right please feel free to actually provide some proof.

I'm not really an expert in Warhammer Fantasy (only 40k), but I saw my friend's Ork army a few years ago, and he had Orks with what looked like looted guns. I'm not sure if it's canonical or not though.

Perhaps if you take over a Dwarven Capital, you can build something like a "Stunty Forge" (Which Upgrades into "Stunty Armory"), and allows for the training of Looted Handgunnerz. The Stunty Armory would give XP to Infantry and Handgunnerz.

To make them more unique compared to other handgunners, I'd say they fire more quickly (as Orks are crazy enough to do that), but have slightly shorter range (Orks can't aim so good). They'd also be better in melee, and tougher than Empire handgunners.

Orks currently have TERRIBLE ranged options, and while I'm not suggesting they get top tier ranged units, it'd be nice for them to have something decent. And since they're handgunners, they're not really massable, but they'd help to add some diversity to the Ork army composition, to stop it from being purely Black Orkz/Big'uns + Boar Boyz.

I've wondered, do Orks in Fantasy have the WAAAGH magic like Orks in 40k do?

Because in 40k, Ork guns don't really work for other races, and nor do their vehicles. They work because enough Orks believe they do.

Would it be a similar situation in fantasy? Orks finding a bunch of Dwarven guns and going "oi ladz i know 'ow deez fings werk. poin'em at da stuntyz an BANG! hahaha!"

Fantasy Orcs do have their own magic, the lore of the big WAAAGH and the lore of the little WAAAGH. They don't really have the gestalt psychic field that 40k orks have that lets them just ignore minor physics problems.

There is no magic in 40k, it's all 'psionics'
They have a little bit of it sometimes.

In 40k they instinctively know how to make shitty guns.

In fantasy they would use looted guns on occasions, but finding the trigger much less reloading would make it an extremely rare occurrence.

UNICORNS!

After all the Warscape-related shit-posting of the past few days I thought I would try play Rome again to see how it compares to the newer games, namely Warhammer, Attila and Shogun 2.

Cons:

Units will stop moving for a second if you issue more than a single order.

Noticeably more movement-related issues; if you tell units to enter a settlement there's a good chance they'll just run into the walls instead of through the gates.

If you try to move and turn a unit so that it runs there and turns on arrival, then bad luck, they stop moving and turn right there.

Try to charge a moving enemy unit from behind with cavalry or anything? They just meander a couple of feet behind and poke at a few of them.

Want to change units from ranged to melee? Alt-click. Want to move the camera around? Arrow keys. This requires three hands to work properly.

Increasing or decreasing width is a gamble because it doesn't show you by how much they're increasing/decreasing in width, you just have to guess.

There's no way to move units other than by click-moving, which makes exactly where they're going to be less certain.

The only way to look at or change the bizarre unintuitive controls is from the main menu, meaning you're repeatedly quitting just to look.

Balancing between factions is by far the worst of any Total War game. I swear it's impossible to lose against Gauls as Romans.

Very limited soundtrack.

Inferior graphics.

No blood and gore.

Battle maps have little variety. All city battle maps are basically the same too with a walled city in the middle with a very similar street and building layout every time.

ONLY 1 UNIT REMAINING, GET YOUR FILENAMES READY, GENERAL VERY CLOSE

The immediate next post to the one which completes the army (ends with 0) is claimed general

>>151734687
Pros:

During battle it feels as though the fighters are engaged in real combat; they move around and push and it feels much more real. It also enables you to break through enemy lines without having to make them route or kill them all.

Cavalry charges are much more satisfying, with the victims really flying.

Battles have the potential to be much larger.

Fairly varied factions.

Good, intense soundtrack and fighting sounds.

No soldiers pivoting around on an axis.

No kill-moves thus creating more realistic, varied combat.

Units tend to be more responsive if you make sure to only issue a single order.

Units act more realistically, with individual soldiers responding to orders at separate times from each other and not always staying in perfect formation.

Overall I think most of the criticism is from those wearing nostalgia glasses but there are definitely areas of improvement.

Going to have to disagree with you on the sound track. While there's not that many songs each one is noticeably different from each other while still keeping a similar feeling.

Plus I've found them more memorable and enjoyable to listen to than the more recent games.

But that's just my opinion. Everything else I fully agree with though.

The AI sent the bulk of their army against the ironbreakers right away, I was able to get my 1 organ gun and 1 cannon and my thunderers behind my line on a hill while the fight happened in the trench.

What's generally the best strat when playing dwarves?

>>151739134
Depends do you want to cheese or do you want an Honest Strategy?

>>151739134
Actually, ill expand on this question.
In the grand campaign, you start off at war with the bloody spears, should you try to fully destroy them, or just wait and build up your forces?
I've lost 2 ledgendary campaigns so far because i have no long term plans or sense of direction.
Any help would be appreciated.

>>151739267
The sooner you get the Bloody Spears to fuck off the better.

Otherwise Grimgor will confed with them or just come help them anyway and whatever greenskin shitters are fighting barak varr sometimes ignore them and attack too.

Cute!C U T E ! I wanna give Varghulf a kiss!

>>151739267

Kill them immediately.

>>151739134

What diffculty? Hard or above its best to ignore the North, since every orc faction will beeline towards you, take over the Silver road, build up, and strike from there, go south if Barak Varr is doing well, go west if they'te struggeling. The dwarf start is slow, but starts rolling if you have two armies.

It was a good fight, but Jesus Christ, I am really starting to hate hero units. I lost because Lords and Heroes will not fucking die or rout.

But I've finished a Empire-Dwarfs co-op campaign and I'm in the middle of a Chaos-Greenskins one.

>>151742616

Witch Hunters are strictly for Accusation and plinking away with their pistol

I once had a witch hunter kill 110 dwarves

he just stood back shooting his pistol while the rest of the army engaged it was fucking ridiculous

Why are Minotaurs the best unit in Total War ever /twg/?

>>151743859
because they're basically shock cavalry that transform into heavy infantry in melee

Imperial science is the best in the world

>>151744467
You're thinking of Skaven science m8

>>151744706
Skaven only have good engineering, not science.

Trying again, anyone up for some 2v2 battles in warhammy?
I'll be playing either Dawi or Bestmen

WOOOOOOOW

God damnit I just finished reading zombie slayer. There needs to be more books. I want to hear about their adventures in araby and maybe have them wind up in the new world where gotrek kills a slann. Then age of shitmar needs to be retconned.

>>151744848
Empire aint much better. Check out the army book introducing the Hellblaster. Absolute madmen.

Jesus christ dwarf fanfiction.

>>151744984
The fuck would Gotrek ever kill a slann? The slann would recognise him for an ally the moment it saw him. And since Gotrek even throws his lot in with elves sometimes, allying with a slann should be no problem.

Besides, there are more books.

It would seem all the northern lands are crawling with filth. Before I can liberate this city of their moronic leadership, I must humble the horde that dares to besiege my rightful property.

Actually, that would be a really cool novel. Maybe some chaos shits or dark elves start rampaging through the land and they fight alongside the lizardmen and for once in his miserable existence gotrek is actually slightly impressed.

This is why I fucking hate the Skaven. Oh cool numberless rats with super science. They're like Tyranids but some how even stupider and shittier.

To be fair, Skaven science is the best in the world. Skaven had fucking genetic breeding programs, flame throwers, chemical warfare and gunpowder weapons 2500 years before Sigmar was born.

The only reason the rat isnt the dominant species in the Warhammer world is because they just can't stop stabbing each other in the back.

>>151743859
They're basically heavy cavalry and monstrous infantry rolled into one. They also have insanely low upkeep with the relevant buildings.
I try to limit the units of minotaurs I use otherwise it's just a zero effort steamroll.
