I it doesn't show up on the unit card then there's a good chance it doesn't have any effect.

I always though "bigger & 'arder" was just a morale thing though?

>>151997102
Nah, they only have armour piercing.
Bigger & 'arder isn't anti large.

>>151997912
Anti large is a separate stat as far as i know, i don't think it's linked in with any other abilities.

But no you're right the distribution of it is pretty inconstant.

Now maybe I'm a dumb ass but how the hell do you get Savage Orcs in the grand campaign?

I can't seem to find anything that makes them recruitable.

feels good man

>>151998324
iirc you need a special settlement, i think it's the one with those red orcs head

>>151998324
You need a savage orc settlement to recruit them, they're at the southern ends of the badlands. It gives a unique building chain for them.

>>151998324
Southern Badlands region has a unique building chain that allows you to recruit Savage Orcs. It's the one with Gronti Mingol / Galbaraz etc.. You can tell by the red skull on the town's name thing.

>>151998306
Oh, I see. I said it in a positive way.
It would be great for immersion but I doubt it would happen anyway, not with the effort CA puts into voice acting (some of it is great, but overall it's nothing to write home about)

If that leaked DLC schedule is correct and Tomb Kangs are the next faction after wood elves, what's their campaign going to be like? Will they be able to take over human settlements or just stuff in the badlands?

>>151998795
I have to wonder if they'll come out for the first game or be the first DLC for the next one.

But yeah if anything I think human settlements. I mean that's what Vampires do and they're honestly not too different from the Tomb Kings.

Food. Also, nice dub-trips (or is it trip-dubs?).

>>151999252
>>151999000
Rome II food system but none of your food production structures can actually make food.

>>151999191
If I had to guess I'd say that they're going to be part of the first expansion thingy so that they can throw in the dark lands and araby land masses in at the same time.

>>151999491
>have to push squalor up so the population can catch rats to eat

Does windowed fullscreen reduce your FPS?

>>151999857
Looks like it does but i can't confirm

>>151999501
The other thing too is if the 3rd expansion is going to be all about Chaos like some people have said. Could mean the next game will Expand out the map to it's limits and then they use the next expansion/DLC's to populate it all.

>>151998795
They don't want lands, they just want their stuff back. And their stuff has been spread across the world by treasure hunters. Settra rules all but two Tomb Kings although they mostly do whatever they want so long as they stay loyal to him. Arkhan just wants to get Nagash back, which Settra doesn't want. Phar hates Settra, everything Settra owns, and Orcs.

>>152000597
That's a pretty huge amount of land to put in all at once, though. I can't see that expansion costing less than the game does if it's doubling the map size and putting new factions in.

Are the Tomb Kings "bad guys" as in if added to the game would they spread corruption like Vampires or what?

And in the lore are they antagonistic with the Empire, Dwarfs, High Elves, etc? I know they fucking hate Vampires, but what about Chaos, Orcs, etc?

>>152001420
>Are the Tomb Kings "bad guys"
No. No corruption either.

>>152001420
They're basically neutral and just want people to get off their damn yard a give all their stolen shit back, a bit like wood elves. Not really sure if corruption would be a mechanic for them unless Nagash was the one controlling them.
Nagash coming back would be a pretty cool campaign, you would start at war with everyone but have a super powered caster to fuck shit up.

can someone post the Attila roll chart?

>>152001774
I could only see Nagash in his own mini-campaign, he's just way too powerful for the powerlevels in the GC.

Reminder

>>152003927
Source?

I want to believe but...

>>152004180

None exists, but it does make some sense. Wood Elf campaign is supposedly next month, Wurrzag who was confirmed by CA to be the FLC Orc lord isn't going to be bundled in with that it makes no sense what so ever. And it wont just be released in isolation as they haven't done that at all so far.

But assuming the speculation is true and the paid LL pack is Volkmar and Kragg it would add one new LL for all of the core races. Dwarf, Empire, Orc and Vampires.

>>152004906
An Empire Hero/Lore of magic are next in line after the VC LL, and thus lined up to release with Wood Elves, not Wurrzag.

>>152005101
Lore of life, presumably?
Do the "new flc character" and "new lore of magic" for the empire wizards count as just that one thing?

Time for a survey everybody!
http://goo
.gl/SKHKEm

>>152005101

VC LL -> Empire Hero -> Lore -> Orc LL -> New Race -> Lore -> Empire Hero

In the Regiments of Renown blog they said this months FLC as a "chunk". So it will most definitely be at the very least, the VC LL, the hero and the lore. Which is why people were saying it would be Zacharias to fit the Lore of Shadow and the Grey Wizard.

Then with the Wood Elves, fitting the themes each update has had so far it would be Bretonnia, Lore of Life and the Jade Wizard.

All of which leaves Wurrzag somewhere in between. Him being released alongside three new LL, each from the original four core factions makes sense I believe.

Get Cataph's Border princes/tilea/estalia mod, its pretty fun, mostly empire units with some added tabletop units, well balanced

legendary lord unique start position is good. dwarfs can start in karak kadrin (red dwarfs near sylvania) which adds a bit more challenge. Another one in the mod is "Black Venom" - some shit orc faction that is generally dead by turn 3. Hard as fuck campaign since your LL Azhag is shit for a very long time and you only start with a minor settlement surrounded by humans and dwarfs on every side with vampires close by.

The way I see it, Europe is basically collapsing since the empire can't manage itself, not to mention all the barbarians wanting fertile land in the provinces. Don't forget the Eastern Romans trying to shaft you out of power.

What better way then to say 'fuck you' than burning everything down and ruining the soil, therefore making the mass migration pointless. Plus the Italian lands by this point are falling into squalor, especially Rome.

Africa serves as a rich, relatively stable bedrock for the legions, fleets, and other Imperial things to congregate and reorganize themselves for the eventual reconquest of Europe.

Volkmar's TEATS

>>152018747
Just got it earlier myself after burnt out on WH and R2 and it's really fucking good anon. It's way deeper than both games. The biggest put off was the timeline as it's not very interesting to me but it doesn't matter, the rest more than make up for it. It's really good so far. The horde factions are way better than Beastmen & Chaos since the horde thing is just a crutch until you settle down for good. Proper internal politics in this one too. I got Age of Charlemagne, too, which is set around 800 ad, on the point where Europe stops becoming an utter shithole and sorts itself out for some proper war. Totally worth the purchase so far.

Might be Grimm, because of their shitty fucking puns in the Regiments of Renown page

>>152019000
How can you be so sure it's not Grimnir, traversing from Age of Fanfic into the Old World?

>>152019104
They fucking would, wouldn't they? Just to torture us

So with regiments coming with their own menu, what sort of mods do you think'll come as a result

is the random personalities mod worth a look or does it turn everything into a shitshow 10 turns in?

>>152019221
DRAGON OGRE SPIDER RIDERS SHARP SPEARS (Lore of Beasts) (Ranged Cavalry)

>>152019221
I don't think it's their own menu, just a reskinned Raise Dead page. Hell, Raise Dead is something like "vampire_count_mercenaries" or something in the game files. But considering nobody has made a mercenary mod from it, I'm doubtful it's the same mechanic.

I hope that Grimgor loses his Black Orcs unit and the banner and instead gains a proper RoR Immortulz pretty soon, and maybe every LL getting some type of RoR, like Gelt getting Carroburg Greatswords to replace his own.

I am so conflicted about darthmod for Shogun 2, I like most of the campaign changes but the Ashigaru are just too strong, the AI will constantly spam full stack armies of ashigaru and their morale is too high

Is there a bonus for controlling all 3 settlements in a province in Attila?

>>152020456
Not really, because unlike in Rome 2 and Warhams all you need for an edict is a governor.

>>152020635

Hearsay is that CA bricked faction unlockers on purpose. Maybe people can unlock beastmen or WoC without shelling out some cash with a faction unlocker.

>>152021982

If we can manage to unlock the Southern realms then it can't be that god damned hard to unlock at least the other factions that are based on the 4 core factions.

>>152022113
Yeah, Steam community is shit like that. It's because no faction unlockers had been updated since patch 2 and the only one that was released is the one for Cataph's Tilea Estalia Border Princes mod. Before the guy made one for that made specifically after 2 weeks of the patch, you had to do some jury rigging bullshit to get it to work.

Hey /twg/ I need some help. I have to write an essay about a historical figure and instead of picking someone easy to write about like Alexander The Great, I'd prefer to write about Vlad the Impaler or Manuel I Komnenos.

I know some of you guys are majoring in history, can anyone recommend good academic source material? I probably won't do Vlad cause AFAIK academic material on him is almost non-existent.

I know it's not really related to total war but I've been coming here for years and this was the best place I could think of.

Antiochus III is a good subject, anon. He's "the Great" for a reason.

File: Mannfred_of_the_Night.jpg (69KB, 678x866px) Image search: [Google]

69KB, 678x866px

Why do I love Mannfred so much?
It's pretty simple when I think about it.
Mannfred isn't just the best character in the Warhammer world, he might just be the greatest character of all time.
Just imaging him riding through the swamps of Sylvania, the wind in his hair, his mighty steed below him.
As he rides through the World's Edge Mountains, the Lahmians swoon at his very scent.
They know how he smells, the essence of his smell is sold in Marienburg under the the name of "Carstein Orgasm."
The very nature of Mannfred is mystery.
Could he be playing a deeper game than even his creator realizes?
The answer is yes, he has transcended such boundaries as the written world, and has free will to do whatever he sees fit.
However, Mannfred is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that he does not even use these powers.
Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Mannfred is not one that is easily penetrated.
Mannfred is such a force of nature in his realm that nothing can truly touch him, the only thing keeping him bound to the page at all is his will to exist within the preordained boundaries of his world.
Mannfred is not only beyond the comprehension of us, he exists within a plane of true focus and beauty.
Observe his playful smile, his gorgeous and rippling biceps, his gallant nose, and most importantly, his eyes.
His eyes, like pools of saffron, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of Mannfred. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt.
Mannfred is not just a character, a formless collection of words and images, he is himself is the binding that holds the Warhammer world together.
Without Mannfred, the entire Warhammer world, the entire Games Workshop as we know it crumbles.
The Reik would stop flowing without Mannfred, Athel Loren would become a desolate crater, and Norsca would melt without his frosty gaze.
These are just of a few of the reasons why I like Mannfred so much.

So after seeing how great Beastmen went, I think its time to rework some of the other factions.

Why not have a Waaagh mechanic for Bretonnians to simulate errantry wars?

Wood Elves have the Wild Hunt. More like the Wild Waaaagh amirite?

Dwarfs? Bugman's Rangers show up when you've filled up your Grudginess meter.

And playing as Franz would be a lot more fun if I could actually SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS.

Where is Krell? He's leading this new stack of spooky skellies.

I think you see what I mean, /twg/. We need Waaaghs for everyone. I think that's what CA wants too.

Is Attila abandoned at this point? I haven't been following it, but it doesn't seem like any DLC has come out in a while and no major mods are in development.

Why do I love Radious so much?
It's pretty simple when I think about it.
Radious isn't just the best character in the Total War world, he might just be the greatest character of all time
Just imaging him riding through the swamps of Tabletopia, the wind in his hair, as his fans carry his throne.
As he rides through the World's Edge Mountains, the plebs swoon at his very scent.
They know how he smells, the essence of his smell is sold in Black Crag under the the name of "Black Orc-arrer-gasm."
The very nature of Radious is mystery.
Could he be playing a deeper game than even the creator realizes?
The answer is yes, he has transcended such boundaries as the written world, and has free will to do whatever he sees fit
However, Radious is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that he does not even use these powers
Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Radious is not one that is easily penetrated
Radious is such a force of nature in his realm that nothing can truly touch him, the only thing keeping him bound at all is his will to exist within the preordained boundaries of his world
Radious is not only beyond the comprehension of us, he exists within a plane of true focus and autism
Observe his lore breaking smile, his maintenance reducing and low effort biceps, his unbalanced nose, and most importantly, his (Lore of Heavens) eyes.
His eyes, like pools of dismounted Bretonnians, provide the only glimpse into the true modifications of Radious. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt
Radious is not just a character, a formless collection of pee and poo, he is himself is the binding that holds the Total War world together.
Without Radious, the entire Total War world, the Creative Assembly as we know it crumbles.
The mods would stop flowing without Radious, /twg/ would become a desolate crater, and Steam Workshop would melt without his frosty gaze
These are just of a few of the reasons why I like Radious so much

>>152023975

>>152021982
I could see that if maybe the plan has changed and they try to do sub faction DLC.

But honestly I think as long as no one tried to do anything that would interfere with their paid content I can't see why they'd care.

Besides if someone did a "UNLOCK CHAOS MOD" they'd just get pulled from the steam workshop.

Why? Every SINGLE TW PLAYER knows what it's like to use Radious Mod (Flying, Artillery, Lore of Fire).
But that shit never gets good, it refuses.
It clings onto you like a mentally retarded 5 year old Bretonnian Paladin Longbow Archer, or a downs syndrome Heavy Goblin Halberdiers (Monstrous Infantry).
IT REFUSES TO GET GOOD.
This question reignited my lack of interest thanks to what happened the second time I tried that shit mod.
I walked out, used Grave Guard Crossbowmen, and what I saw shocked me.
This shit mod had GLUED ITSELF TO MY FEET OR SOMETHING when I used my Light Dwarf Cavalry Scouts to enjoy a campaign THEN THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MOD ALLOWED EMPIRE STEAMTANK DEMIGRYPH GIANTRIDERS WITHOUT EVEN NOTICING.
I babysat my 4 YEAR OLD RETARDED COUSIN RADIOUS (Vanguard Deployment, Lore of the Little Waaagh)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with this shit mod on my face

I wanted to see if the memes were true.

Even with the crown and dragon Azhag is still kind of shit...

>>152033168
For the most part they're militias. The only things really given by the state is the training, weapons and colour requirements.

I guess it's like working for a company that provides the tools but demands a dress code.

>>152033168

They're militias.

The State would provide armour and weapons that would most likely be made by many different blacksmiths and clothiers.

>>152034376

The only good thing about starting out with Azhag is that playing the Crown quest battle early with mostly shitty units is tense and fun as fuck.

Beyond that he really doesn't have much to offer, even with Molay's installed.

>>151996558

Been away for a while lads, whats the status on wood elves?

Really love this Radious mod you guys recommended me.

I'm not well versed enough in the lore to know if the Doomed Legion are a real unit, so I'm happy to have some T4 spears on VC. An army should feel fluid and a general should be rewarded for picking the right tools for a job.

At no point do I feel that I'm playing a generic faction, the theme of each faction is still there. I don't buy archers as VC, I keep a balanced armies with required DGK on Empire, I spam infantry as Greenskins.

The variety also makes me feel closer to my units, my aforementioned Doom Legion being more memorable that my thousandth Grave Guard unit.

The more armies can kind of go both ways, in difficulty and preference. I find that the early game gets harder and the late game gets easier, playing mostly VH/Legendary. More armies gives you more options but I also find it slows down the game.

Battles are way better. They last longer, provide more options and with added armies, tend to be bigger.

TLDR? Radious all the way.

>>152036841
this desu

why the fuck did they change it? right now it's impossible to see what is what in 40 unit battles

>>152038681
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.

PLEBS

>>152043284
Try the uninstall mod.

This, I'm holding off on playing empire because i want to use the new stuff.

Plus not knowing what the other race is has limited those options too.

>>152043901
You know I never really thought about it, but stuff like that is really up Tzeentch's ally

Fuck you stirland, i'm fighting off a beastman attack on turn 4 and they fucking sneak in and take the last empire seccessionist province from under me

Third age with DAC is pretty great plus it's smooth as fuck, where as the Warhammer mod is less stable and poorly balanced, but rule of cool and all

Is there anyway, mods even, to get kislev to just give me military access so I have a land route to fuck up chaos

>>152047471
Well if the rumors are true the 3rd expansion should be all about chaos divided.

So when ever that comes out in the next 2-4 years.

Aren't elves OP as hell in that mod though? Also can you explain to me the difference between the shadow of mirkwood and mirror factions besides where they start? Cause to me they seem like the same faction.

Their skin is a darker shade of Green compared to regular Orcs.

>>152050393
They're described as having black or really dark green skin. Nobody ever paints them black though.

>>152046207

Yeah Beastmen have thoroughly fucked up the Empire campaign.

Fuck you for triggering me, Empire campaign fucking blows.

Slowest edition ever.

>>152051358
Altdorf has a port, that's probably why it doesn't have any gold.

>>152051358
It's going to get worse too with Wood elves, and Skaven, and Dark Elves...

>>152021518
T..The mod is fun!

>>152051358
>POTTERY

Yeah is there some lore reason for this? Because it gimps the fuck out of Empire's early economy. It's worth shit, even with trade partners its like 500g a turn. Where as basket wavers and shit are 750g. A bit jarring coming from VC and Dawi campaigns where I was shitting out gold early on and multiple armies without much of a problem.

>>152051358
i never even took marienburg until late-game and had none of these problems. you just need to build the economy buildings everywhere. in fact i never built a growth building, nor have i ever, and it seems to work fine.

I'm new to Total War so I just want check and see if I'm fucking up.

How many turns do you spend doing basically nothing or just sitting tight and waiting? And should you be doing this or constantly doing something all the time?

>>152054057

Total Wars games are usually like this

>Rush early game
>Turtle to set up some monai
>Steamroll the rest of the map

>>152054057
Depends what you're planing/after.

Sometimes you want to wait on a upgrade or you just have no wars going on.

It's only really a bad thing if you're running yourself into the negative or neglecting your empire some how. I wouldn't worry.

Another great day full of news about the upcoming DLC, thank you CA :^)
