FB planet is somewhere in the warp, as ET books (concider them canon or not, idgaf) hinted shit like lizardmen can talk with eldars and that grey knight serving in the old world

Also, the Maw could be a tyrannid hivefleet

>>151816048
As a longtime fan of both, here's the long and short. Fantasy battle was their first game, and it went well. At first, 40K was just a small joke they did, hence one of its first characters being named 'inquisitor obi wan sherlock closseau'. Eventually, however, the joke setting became popular, and eventually evolved into what it is today. Now, GW didn't much care, but lorewise, it was a bit odd. It started with both settings sort of intermingling, with the subtle drop that Sigmar was a primarch, which was later retconned, and then in 40K a space marine caught a sight of the fantasy realm while being flung through the warp, and someone finding the 40K universe inside of a wizard's hourglass or something in the fantasy world. In the end, there were lots of inbetweens and non canons like this. There's a lot of info on this page, though. http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Warhammer_Fantasy

There was one subtle drop too where a GW author hinted that Fantasy was happening at the same time as 40K, on a planet in the eye of terror.

>>151818570
>>151816048
Also forgot about this! There was an event in an End Times book where the Skaven broke some old artifact, and what was hinted to be Eldar began confusedly speaking through it, freaking the hell out of the skaven and causing them to smash it completely.

>>151818675
I hope they add this shit if you capture lizardmen cities as Skaven, like random events that give you moral penalty for 2 turns because you're scared or something

Late or Early era campaign?
You gotta ally with Ottoman ASAP and rush the fatimids, just rush the bigger cities and exterminate population, you can hold fortresses and Jerusalem easily.
I think theyre better early era but im not sure.

Ok I did some tests for you, this is turn 2.
I got Gaza and a positive balance.
Rush Gaza and cap it turn 2, I autoresolved it and lost 70 men, they will never get it back, ignore the rebels around you until you weakened the Fatimids enough.
Try to keep the Turks off your ass at all cost, they usually ally with you if you ask them tho.
Ask the Pope to call a crusade on Egypt, you will benefit greatly from it.
Disband those fucking mercenaries in your northern cities, those armenian archers for example and the knights to make some money.
Stick to militia and your insanely cheap yet strong knight/religious units.
Kinda funny that Crusader States rely on units from castles generally speaking yet they start with no castle.

thanks, though my attempt was late era. I see my approach was exactly the wrong one, I allied with the fatimids in a bid to keep them off my back until I'd be strong enough but conquering the rebels is expensive and doesn't pay your money back very well, while the fatimids WILL declare war on you no matter what and the longer you wait the stronger they get

I generally advise Early era as Crusaders because you get most of your strong units reaaaally early, they reach their peak unit-wise 100-200 years earlier than most others while not suffering in numbers.
Longbows, Zweihänder, all sorts of knights since you can build chapterhouses, even the militias are fucking strong.
But they only get basic cannons and not even muskets, not even full-plate units kek.

The empire plays like Rome the most but most factions are so different from that it's hard to give blanket advice execpt maybe to not be afraid to charge hero units in first.

Roots can be seen far above, curving down from the roof of the hall to form elegant, interweaving pillars. Here, the Wood Elves make their homes, fine structures of ethereal beauty. Elegant lanterns adorn the hall filled with tiny, flitting, glowing figures. Here the Wood Elves feast and celebrate the natural cycles of the forest, holding grand banquets of woodland game and free-flowing, intoxicating Elven wines. The halls are alive with wild dancing, lilting laughter, and melodic music. Boy children taken from the lands around the forest, destined never to grow old, joyfully serve their graceful Elven masters.

Has access to the lore of Vampires, Death, and Shadow

Very durable in a melee fight, but not very damaging unless he's riding his dragon.
Maybe he unlocks his special zombie dragon at an earlier level.
No idea about his quests, maybe something about hunting down a book of necromatic lore that reduces upkeep and recruitment costs.

For Anti cav you want anything that has the "Anti large" stat. Also don't spread out your lines super thin when trying to defend against cav, if they're thin the cav will run right through. If deep though they'll get bogged in and surrounded.

Overall just mouse over unit stats and learn how they work. You'll get there anon don't worry. it's a bit different and there's a lot more to lean but you'll get there! Also there's a few helpful videos on youtube if you want them.

>>151842298

>new starting locations

Nope, not at least for the current factions. You'd have to change a lot of shit to make it work. Empire, Dawi, Vampires and Orcs all have soft-tutorial starts. As in they've designed them to be played in a certain pattern for the first few turns.

Empire starts in Altdorf -> Fight Rebels -> Secure Reikland then do whatever
Dawi start in Karaz-a-Karak -> Fight Bloody Spears -> Secure Silver Way then do whatever
Vampires start in Drakenhof -> Fight Templehof -> Secure Sylvania then do whatever
Orcs you get the point

So there would be no other way to start them off, unless they were split into another faction like what the LL Mod does. At which point they aren't part of the base faction anymore. Which causes even more issues since Stirland, etc aren't designed to be played by a humans.

>>151843253
I could see the savage orks being splintered off to be a seperate race. The Top Knots already don't qualify for many of the quests in game for attacking an ork faction.

Oh well. I think starting as those vampires that start just south of Bretonnia could be a fun starting location.

Do you take me for a turd?

>>151846739

>>151846954
I apologise.

>>151846602
In all honestly WFB (and 40k) need a reset and better more simplified rules. The ones they have now (or did have) are a overly complicated mess that bog games down into taking hours.

Now that said AoS is the other end of that, where there's so little rules there is barely even a game worth reading about.

It pisses me off, GW are making a lot of good moves into making a more approachable game. But they went WAAAY too far in every way.

it's like they had all this build up energy from doing jack shit about anything for decade and then released it all in one giant cluster fuck to rival the Eye of Terror.

You know for as much as people claim AoS was something that had been planed for years, everything about it feels like a rushed mess.

The maps especially show it off the worse but so do a lot of the model designs. Like those posing and such is just so bland and missing any character or options.

>>151847490
The supplies are gone, the next turn and half the army is going to be dead and I'll love the advantage I had.

So annoying why can't I just sally out.

>>151847376
You can do that without locking formation using alt and control to drag and spin them around.
Stuff like that is what I really miss when going back to older titles.

>>151847391
Up until the DLC came out and he just HAD to buy it and "Woe is him, CA are so evil for changing for content!"

>>151847602
You can't sally out because the reinforcing army is just in the way of your besieged city. It happened to me in Shogun 2 as well, where several Takeda stacks besieged Kyoto, making it impossible to sally out.

From what I remember they're split into three factions, the Fyreslayers are basically an independant mercenary nation of slayers, who are split up into separate Lodges and strive to collect the missing pieces of Grimnir.

Then there's the Steamheads and Dispossessed, who haven't recieved much info at the moment but are scheduled for a full launch next month if the rumors are true. Steamheads are the engineering dwarfs, and Dispossessed are the old warriors and longbeards and such.

There's nothing wrong with different names. We've used Asur and Druchii for as long as forever. It's even pronounced the same.

Honestly Fyreslayers look better in the art than they do in miniature form. The models look too blocky and mono-posed.

Like compare the older slayer models to the new ones. They're not as detailed but There's at least some expression other than boredom on their faces.

And honest a lot of the AoS stuff has this faint Warcraft like feeling about it, which I personally can't stand.

No there is nothing wrong with that. It's just pathetic that they changed names because of the trademark thing and then they went with names like that. It really feels like they didn't really care and just rushed it.

I wish sieges were more fleshed out. There are these impressive cityscapes (though Bretonnia's look like Disney had a go at them) and yet the battle is usually done in a few minutes at the gates or on the walls.

Is there a total war general without Warhammer?

Honestly changing how the words are spelt just so you can copy right them is really gross.

Especially knowing how GW like to conduct themselves legally you know it's for no good reasons.

GW can't win.

>>151849338
Agreed, but would you add specifically to make them better?

Only things I can think of are
- making the towers take much longer to build on the campaign map
- Allow units on the walls to kick off ladders from the walls.
- Force the rampart towers to be manned by ranged units.
- Make siege equipment more important. IE target buildings inside the walls and when those buildings are destroyed they deal a large AoE damage around the building.
- Multiple sets of walls, though this does have questions of balancing.

Same. I just can't.

>>151849770
People didn't really complain about the names that much though. That wasn't what made AoS unoriginal. They didn't change it to make the world more unique(because then they would have actually tried). It was purely copyrighting.

And that shit doesn't even make sense, they already had established names like dawi, druchii, etc for the races.
Guess they really wanted to distance the new world from the old one but didn't want to go to too much effort.

Come on now, it's not like they've just changed a single letter for most of these. I wonder if that would have been better. At the moment they seem to be at the tipping point between invocative of the original race and unique fantasy clusterfuck.

You can even see the mirroring, there's only a few attempts to try and hide it. It's just a bloody waste.

No those are ok. Aleguzzler Gargants really feels they tried too hard imo though. You shouldn't make the names that "advanced".
