>IS CALL OF THE BEASTMEN WORTH BUYING?
The Beastmen are a cool faction but the pack is a bit overpriced for what you get. There probably won't be a price drop for some time, so if you really like the Beastmen then go ahead, otherwise wait it out.
>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!
>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure not garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)
>GROUP ATTACK
Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

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.
>>152224896
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

In Attila as a horde faction migrating should I loot and occupy settlements and then raze them or should I sack and just move on immediately?
>>152228645
>>152228741
>>152228769
Thanks for the effort.
>>152228974
You can sack and then raze, if you do want settlements fucking gone, but sacking is all you want to do.
Do not occupy(settle) before you are going to settle down for good. It will destroy every last horde building with no recompensation.
The only reason to do it is like say my Ostrogoths game, where I picked up Roman Paganism from Dalmatia; one of the few places it still existed.(required to settle to convert religion) Before packing up and heading to Egypt.
>>152228293
>>152229656
Why not?
I promise to play an interesting army rather than some meta-memery.
We're both talking about multiplayer battles, right?
>>152228353
With the political system we have in TW I'd hate it.
>>152229747
>Why not?
Aversion to multiplayer in TW: -60
I simply have no fun doing it, whether I win or lose.
>>152229250
Alright, thanks anon. I did some more research on roman paganism and it seems powerful. I am too the ostrogoths and wanna do a romanaboo playthrough. I settled Dalmatia and there's no roman paganism, just manichaesim and christianity types. Also, if I did wanna convert, how much % do I need to be at to convert?
>>152229749
It's my understanding that the attila team are the ones currently doing the next historical title and I think the politics stuff for that game was definitely a step in the right direction. It still feels a bit too abstract with how the control and influence were though.
>>152229927
I think the number is 35% as the sum of your religion. Which is all provinces if you're massive, one province if you have one province or 100% of your state religion at all times if you're a horde.
I don't think it was from dalmatia itself actually, one of the more interior provinces. Should be called pannonia I think.
Use the religious map mode.
Also I'm talking about doing it like before turn five or something, before religion shifts too much by itself.
Roman Paganism is okay, its bonuses are useful. Its buildings are really expensive though. I think zoroastrianism is the strongest.
>>152223332
For that price, yes.
FFS why Gelt is such a piece of trash?
I installed mod buffing magic, hell I even got 3 skill points/lvl for the 1st few levels to give him a boost on my legendary playthough.
Yet that faggot golden nigger is killing like 60 models/battle if im really lucky, and his buffs/debuffs are so shit that unmodded, vanilla Little Waagh is better.
Bravo CA, bravo. I just wanted to havefun

Turns out is is Pannonia and I just sacked the prov cap there haha. Oh well. It has 37% greek/roman paganism.
Thanks agin

Here is how you use Gelt:
1. Max out his red and blue skills appropriate for your army comp.
2. Put a useful wizard in there.
Gelt is a good battery wizard for another wizard of a useful lore.

What.
>>152230537
Too busy winning heroic victories.
>>152230674
Note that it isn't really Greek paganism, but more late Roman Paganism. While early on the Romans did worship Greek deities, later on the empire changed tremendously.
It was basically flavour of the Emperor's faith. Some people worshipped the Empire, some Emperors favoured a dual-godhead of Empire and Sun together. Some people followed the revival of Isis and shit.
Which is pretty neat. The other thing is that it doesn't seem to have as many voice lines and christianity, so your troops might still chant prayers to christ in combat and shit.
P.S. Gothic Warbands are incredible units early on. They outclass nearly everything else.

>>152231851
>single target only
Not if you overcharge it.
And just because you can spam useful gobbo magic it doesn't mean that his buffs are shit.
So for people who don't know, in order to fully defeat Chaos now and get the Age of Peace event, you need to defeat both Warriors of Chaos and Warherd of Chaos.
Luckily this herd seems less prone to hiding than the regular beastmen factions.

>>152234616
You can play as the Selucids, they are Greek/Persian. And should probably own Mesopotamia proper at game start.
The thing is that Persians weren't really a political entity during the time period.
Parthia and Selucids are the closest you can get, as their overlord at gamestart and their overlord at historical game's end.

>>152237278
French have the best infantry.
British have the best naval unit.
The US though give bonuses to artillery nation wide.
This is FOTS, and Artillery the the ancient destroyer heralding the end of mankind; so they are a strong consideration as well.
I always go US because of the former though the French bonus and unit are the only one that can really compete. Which is a damn shame for the Redcoats.

I wish they'd add buildings and villages like they did in Shogun and Empire. Right now the map feels awfully empty.

Their hiding and offensive ambushes are fun. Their roster is ehh, but I guess not any more less interesting than Chaos. Depending on how much the money is too you and how much you want to play as a new race, the answer is either yes or wait for sale.
>>152240796
Chaos is boring as fuck compared to Rapegoats. The mini-campaign does a good job introducing them, and they're just fun to play as overall.
I've been thinking of doing a playthrough where I walk up north and kill off Norsca. Will be hilarious to see what happens when Chaos then arrives.

Every current city on the map needs to be a capital, with another two or three cities around it.

What reinforcement issue?
>>152244092
They spawn from a different side compared to where they were on the campaign map.
>>152244092
reinforcing armies spawning behind enemy lines and in other random ass places instead of, you know, by your main army
>>152244152
Oh right, that shit.
It's really annoying.
>>152244092
Reinforcing armies who you had tight beside you or behind you on the campaign map appears randomly (mostly behind the enemy army) on the battle map.
Same goes for enemy reinforcing, which often fucks up your entire battle.

>>152244031
Dismount is probably just reworked drop artillery/siege piece.
Cannon barrage also seems fairly simple to implement, and I expect it is what a lot of the spells in Warhammer are built off.
The manually aim artillery is pretty crazy but completely superfluous.
>>152243647
>>152243518
It's a fair argument to make. There are tryhard kindreds like Waywatchers, but those are basically outsiders anyway. It doesn't get much focus because THERE IS ONLY WAR xD, but Wood Elves spend much of their time in feasts and dances, and generally partying with their woodland friends.
While they are physically active, the determined refusal to engage the outside world and lack of interest in anything beyond their own lair is very NEET friendly. They don't have any tiresome plans of conquest and just want to relax with their drycha dakimakuras, but disgusting normies keep coming into the woods.
SECRET BASE NORMIES REEEEE is the ideological underpinning of the Wood Elves.
>>152244425
Shouldn't take them so close to the board edge, disallows flanking for extra quick cleanup and extra kills/experience.
>>152244749
I know. Just thought it'd be funny to see them spawn then get stuck half off the map.
>>152244595
And melee units throwing shit before they charge has been in the game since Rome 1.
FotS did a ton of stuff for a otherwise stale series in terms of features.
>>152245076
They would charge, stop and charge again, rather than throw while on the charge animation.
>>152245183
Wow, what a... marvelling thing.
>>152245515
Exactly. You could go entire games without seeing any of the above, though many are intermittently common. But the pilum being thrown on the charge. Dozens of times. Every single battle, every single campaign. It was the most immersion breaking damn thing in Rome. You had to treat your melee units like missile units until they had thrown off their two vollies, and then charge.
With its importance over so many roman units, Rome 2 truly did make Rome feel like Rome. A shame it sucked shit in nearly every other area.
>>152245932
<A shame it sucked shit in nearly every other area
nice meme.
Is sucked at release.
EE is great.
>>152246074
It's still somewhat lacking in most areas. Definitely not an amazing TW, although it ranks above Empire because it got patched to being workable.
The lack of a family tree and retarded politics really puts me off.
>>152246074
Empire Edition is still somewhat flawed, mostly in replayability. There's less variation to games than there was in the original. But yes it's a polished game and very playable. But it's no Shogun 2 or Attila, or any pre-warscape title.
Which is a shame because it is the best time period.

HOLY FUCKING YES

I'm pretty sure >>152241575 is all the news we're getting today. I doubt Bart would have taken the time to post all of that if there was going to be an official announcement coming a few hours later.
Speaking of CA's birthday, I wonder if they'll do something special for their 30th.
>>152247686
Just like with Warhammer, the steam reviews are only bitching that CA dared to release dlc for it.
>>152247686
Its just DLC-reactionary shits
>>152247686
Steam reviews are just based in the opinion of a bunch of poorfags, kiddos and neckbeards.
Wouldn't care much about those shitty reviews, m8.
>>152247686
it's mostly people bitching about the fact a game in this day and age dares to have DLC
Also take note how most of them have over 100 hours of play time.
>>152247686
Attila is great, but its perfomance is shit.
Don't believe Steam reviews entirely, many faggots tend to protest via reviews on DLC releases and such. Warhammer is a great example as at launch it had almost perfect scores. Now, after Beastmen, it's at Mixed instead.
>>152248141
>Also take note how most of them have over 100 hours of play time.
This isn't an argument in and of itself, just so you know. For TW it's a good indication but say for CK2 / EU4, or for Skyrim / Fallout 4, having 2000 hours in the game does NOT mean the game is good.
>>152248260
>playing a bad game for over 100 hours
Yeah, nah. That is several playthroughs in any of those games. You don't play through a game several times if you think it is shit.
>>152248363
But anon, he's talking about game itself, not about a self opinion.
Someone can think a game is good, while the rest of the world think is a garbage.
>>152248363
>what are mods
I've played Skyrim for about 40 hours vanilla and liked it. Then I added in billions of mods, to make it amazing, playing it for a thousand + hours.
Fallout 4 I didn't even manage 10 hours out of, and even then it was because I desperately wanted to like it and kept giving it chances when I was bored by 4-5. Mods, however, fix it significantly to the point where I have 250 hours in it now.
>>152221475
Because Radious can't texture, unlike other modders.
>>152247686
Attila is poorly optimized but is otherwise great.
The reviews are entirely based off opinions regarding pricing. The game is superb.
>>152248496
The review is still about the base game though.
I have the exact same situation in FO4 and gave the game a negative review because goddamn it deserves it. Now after a billion mods are out the game is good because I have managed to "fix" the game via mods.
I'm also hyped for Nuka World because Bethesdas DLC is oftentimes better than the vanilla game, and according to leakers Nuka World is better than Far Harbor.
>>152249372
Right which is what I'm saying. The base game is bad in FO4 despite me having 250 hours in it. I will not recommend the game until I think it's become good in its own right, since mods work just fine on pirated copies anyway.
I recommended Skyrim and Attila because they were good games in their own right, with or without mods, although mods make them infinitely better.
whens the fugging update
>>152249372
>The review is still about the base game though.
Says who? Why wouldn't the game being an excellent modding platform that has delivered some great mods be factored into the review?
I abhor vanilla skyrim, but I would still recommend it on the basis that TrainWiz's mods and Enderal are well worth the price of admission.
>>152249749
>Why wouldn't the game being an excellent modding platform that has delivered some great mods be factored into the review?
Because that is not part of the game that you are buying. You are not paying for access to mods - mods are free. You are paying for access to the game, which is released for sale. Mods can fix games but developers are not allowed to use that as a defense.
>>152249749
>would still recommend it on the basis that TrainWiz's mods and Enderal are [good]
Why wouldn't you pirate it in that case instead of buying a bad game so you can fix it with the work of volunteers?

This is why you need to change the battle difficulty to hard, and the campaign to VH
Most fair options
>>152224896

>>152250106
The most fair is normal / normal. VH Campaign / Normal battles feel fine to me.
>>152250106
>>152250207
This.
Battle difficulty doesn't block achievments either, so VH/N is the best experience you can have.
Fuck Legendary though. I wouldn't mind a Iron Man mode, but not when battle is locked on Leg too.
How do you think CA will deal with the copious tits and ass in Dark Elves? Will they be faithful to the source material?
>>152250368
The problem with Legendary Battles isn't the camera lock
It's that apparently MY troops are starving stickmen while the enemy is comprised solely of greek statues.
>>152250604
The omission of harpies makes me worry about how they'll handle Dark Elves and Slaaneshi Daemons.
>>152250604
Tits and weiners DLC 3.00$
>>152250604
The only glaring issues are daemonettes and witch elves and morathi really. They'll probably just stylize them really weird and keep the lewd.
>>152250687
He agrees with you. He's saying the fact that battle difficulty is locked on legendary is the issue. Not whether the unit strength or the camera lock is the specific issue. Almost certainly refering to the former as we all do.
How do Brettonians take walls? Their ability to siege seems like total fucking garbage.
Total war twitter just dropped that we're getting a Warpstone Mine battle map in the next flc, with more details next week. I'd link it but I'm on my phone and also don't feel like it.
>>152250604

No need to censor anything. I mean, they have dorf brides as followers, and does for rapegoats.
>>152250915
same as everyone else. Climb up or blast em open. Or fly over.
>>152250915
They don't.
Bretonnia is fucked because GW didn't update their army books since 2003 or something, and they never got anything new since then. There are only 4 units missing for Brets right now; knight errants, questing knight, grail pilgrims and grail relique. That's it.
The only way CA can make Bretonnia good is if they go back a few editions and pick stuff up from there, back when they had a ton of special characters. If they did they could add things like dismounted knights, retainers, squires and so on. Even not-Robin Hood bandints.
Otherwise Bretonnia is going to be the weakest in the game beacause they're a one-trick pony faction.

>Steel Faith Overhaul
Has anyone tried this? How is it?
>>152253917
It's a very concentrated map, and the structure of the campaign makes it pretty fun. It serves as a great introduction to rapegoats.
Grand campaign will always be better of course, but it's worth a playthrough atleast.
>>152252802
I'm pretty certain Slaanesh will resurface later somehow, since Shitmar is still in lore development so to speak.
Wouldn't be below GW to remove him outright though, although they'd had to do the same for 40k in that case.
>>152254404
I installed it like one week ago and I'm loving it.
After using Radious since release, SFO is way way better imo.
>>152227906
By the way, here's a comparison with and without the mod.
Note that this was the HALF rank bonuses.
>>152255201
Also, shit comparison because of modded general skills. It's just there to give a hint of how OP units gets at rank 9 with the mod.
>>152253917

also, the unlockable character
>>152255201
Holy shit, do units just melt when they get into combat with those Ironbreakers?
>>152255745
Not really, no. The ironbreakers just refuse to die. I've had several black knights cycle charge them, and I saw models flying all across the map. But nope, not a single death. Only death I had was when my organ gun did some friendly fire, and even then it was only one model or so.
You end up winning through sheer attrition.

how to force my ship to board when its out of ammo in attila?
there is no ram/board toggle button that i can see
So out of curiosity, I did some testing to see which Legendary Lord could defeat the most zombies. I narrowed it down to 3 Legendary Lords, but can do tests on others if you all care even a little.
I know it was pointless, but it was a fun experiment. Also note that I try harded as much as possible, so that means that I kited around, did charges, went for their general, stuff like that.
First up is Archaon. His fire spells were... lukewarm at best. However, he is a very powerful melee fighter, surprisingly so. He did pretty damn well.
>>152257015
You can't, use the refill ammo button.
How many hours have you spent already on Warhammer Total War, lads?
>>152257078
Next was Grimgor, and he was the most disappointing.
Grimgor hits very, very hard. He killed the zombies the fastest out of all of them, but his moral is shit so he routs very quickly. He also doesn't have great defense, which probably made him rout even faster because he was actually taking damage.
>>152257078
bet's on Sigvald, if only for his regen
>>152257270
Siggy got shit AoE.
Turn 21.
I have now begun my invasion of Norsca as the glorious rapegoats. We will rape and goats our way through the north.
These northerners will never know what hit them.Then, after they're gone, we will prepare. Let everyone grow fat and juicy without any not-viking raiders fucking shit up.
>>152257182
270 hours or so.
>>152257239
Manfred was the breakout star of the testing.
Now, ignore the cavalry and their kills. I had to have them because otherwise Manfred just starts to crumble (because he is a flying unit). I had the cavalry sit in the corner and do essentially nothing until Manfred eventually died.
Still, Manfred did the best by far. He killed around 3800 or so before finally dying. His attacks have HUGE AoE, and the purple, while not doing much damage, does massive moral damage and made the zombies start to crumble.
So, for now, NAGASH WAS WEAK because Manfred is your victor.
>>152257270
>>152257315
I'll give Sigvald a try, that could be fun. I might also try One-Eye in his chariot, but that seems like its a lot of micro.

My guess is that Settra and Khatep/Khalida will be the starter LLs. Then a LL DLC will bring either Khatep or Khalida (depending of which one is added at release) and Arkhan the Black.
Anyways, Settra will be a MUST. The other guessings are just self opinion.

something tells me most of the tomb kings campaign will be fighting every other tomb king for 50 turns.
Well it seems /twg/ was right.
Sigvald just can't die. The Zombies deal enough damage to very, very, very slowly whittle down his health, but he lost maybe 10% after 60 minutes of battle and 3000+ kills.
While I set the timer for 60 minutes, Sigvald could definitely take out the whole army.
>>152260991
Pretty accurate to the lore then
>>152259925
Arkhan is literally the single most powerful wizard in warhammer (before Nagash comes back).
It should be Arkhan, he should get his own campaign too. That motherfucker has fought the whole of Nehekara to a stalemate multiple times by himself and Settra refuses to destroy him because he's too damn valuable as an ally (in spite of his known worship of Nagash).
>>152261239

Use artillery. Empire is the one game where I'm always confident I can win a battle simply because forming a lines with overlapping fire positions and properly using artillery can easily win the battle. Can't even begin to count the number of times I had to fight enemy forces in hand to hand combat because I had run out of bullets.
>>152280486
Do you honestly think it's possible to win a battle where I'm outnumbered 4 to 1 and they have all the same units as me on very hard difficulty?

>>152280107
It didn't get the patches it needed. It really needed a rome 2 tier patching program.

Best voice, best visual design. Worst lord in the game.
Does anyone have any pointers on the Rapegoats rooster?
I'm playing the Beastmen campaign, and I'm not quite sure about which units to use.
For example, do I go with Minotaurs or Chaos Spawn? They sort of fill the same role.
I'm ditching all archers and going for more cav, so are Centigors my best choice?
Are Razorgor and Warhounds any good?
>>152283649
A small amount of archers is okay. Minotaurs and Spawn aren't very similar. Spawn aren't very good. Minotaurs are fucking insane.
>>152283649
The only thing you really need is minotaurs.
Here's my usual comp:
4-6 Ungor archers.
4 Minotaurs with shields.
2 Minotaurs with great weapons.
The rest are Gors with shields.
Bestigor aren't worth the 3 turn recruitment time when they are only slightly better then Gors, and you can recruit Gors in a single turn.
>>152280774
>TOTAL War
Its in the name anon, now spread wide open and close your eyes
>>152283649
Minotaurs are, no joke, one of the beast units in the game. I had sent them out on a charge, untouched enemy crossbows did the leadership check equivalent of collectively shitting their pants and ran... with a full spear unit between them and the Minotaur charge.
>>152283649
Minotaurs
>charge better than cavalry

They are absolutely ridiculous
>>152284269
To be fair, I think every single one of us would had run if a 4m armed bull on steroids came running towards you.
>>152284617
It's a good point, but I still think a chaos spawn should have a bigger effect on morale then a Minotaur.

>>152284269
>>152284476
>Minotaurs and Spawn aren't very similar
How so?
Either way, I'll go with Minotaurs. I'm guessing the Great Weapon variant is the best?
I was sort of underwhelmed by the Ungor Archers. I had four, and while they weren't bad, they've only really shined as counters to Pistoliers. Felt like their spots could be more useful as something else.
>no centigors
I've liked them so far. Good and fast cavalry for flanking, bullying archers, and generally chasing down routing enemies.
>>152285735
I've found that standard Minotaurs are the most effective overall, but it's up to you.
>>152285735
The archers do feel useful in longer fights. I usually run two.
I wouldn't say don't use centigors, even though you don't REALLY need them when you have minotaurs.
It's just that they have a great charge and great speed, they are very squishy. Which translates into campaign level troubles when your anvil is lightly damaged but your hammer is a glass cannon that takes several turns to repair.
Also standard minotaurs are pretty much all you need.
>>152285960
Minotaurs with shields are the best against the standard infantry line, or charging towards ranged.
Minotaurs with great weapons are best against monsters, giants, cav, and lords.
Are Empire and Napoleon the easiest games?
>>152287276
>only two artillery
>>152287756
I don't need artillery to crush Danes.
>>152287276

I always find Napoleon battles to be huge grindfests. My infantry never inflict more casualties than they receive until the enemy starts retreating or unless they have way shittier morale.
>>152285960

Our stalwart Dwarven allies are under siege by the green skin menace; while our secondary force is busy razing the badlands to starve the beast out, our primary expeditionary force moves to relieve a settlement currently under siege.
The enemy force is split amongst 3 separate armies. Fortunately it appears the initial group is little more than several gangs of vile trolls. Our cavalry and yeomen archers quickly intercept and break the beast as the the primary enemy force enters the battle field.
>>152221319
>Seal of purity on bretonnians knights.

There's a really cheesy way to play, raze whatever's easy to raze and then disband all your units/hordes except for your LL (and the event-Gorebull) and then start hoarding money for 50-60 turns while building up your LL's buildings.
Then your start raping weaker armies with Bestigors, Minotaurs and Cygors.
Easily finished the Grand Campaign and An Eye for an Eye campaign on Legendary that way.
>>152289927
As the enemy's main force groups to relieve their initial force, we move to claim the edge of nearby shallows to force the beast into a disadvantages melee while our artillery rains down on their numbers.
Our cavalry disengage and claim a hill covering the greenskin's back and flank.

>>152291886
We finally meet the savages in melee, our spears and swords allowing our knights to regroup and prepare for a counter charge.
Our yeomen have attracted the attention of what appears to be the beasts' leader who also gives chase.
I move a portion of our men towards the beast's backs to completely encircle them.
How long until Radious blesses us with Demigryph Minotaurs (Bestial Artillery)?
>>152292474
A lucky crossbow bolt manages to fell their leader causing the majority of their monstrous trolls to turn tail and flee.
We begin circling in on what orcs have yet to run as our crossbows move to cut down the fleeing.
The final significant pocket of resistance continues to chase down our yeomen, who lead the savage's towards our spears

To our dismay, it appears the beast have rallied around an until then undiscovered goblin leader.
As they approach over the hill, we form up once more. Unfortunately our knights have taken too many loses to remain effective and our yeomen have exhausted their ammunition. After a final cavalry charge eliminating the greenskin's last group of archer's, I order them to pull back from the field of battle.
>>152294425
At last, the foul beast crumble before our steel and rout en masse, and our allies stand relieved.

>>152295261
Currently we hold all of the southern realms under our banner. Estalia and Tilea falling in short order, their armies unprepared for our then cavalry heavy forces.
As it stands we can currently support 4 separate armies; the first was keeping the peace within Tilea though they are en route towards the current front after the successful construction of new barricades and taverns across their cities ensuring a much more docile populace. Our Second army is being lead by our current lord and is razing Savage orc stronghold's across the badlands, tightening the noose around orcish forces. Our 3rd force has just finished battle with the Orcs and the last is a fresh army stationed within our western lands and is currently building up strength to support our primary forces.
Our acquisitions have provided a significant number of tradable resources, giving us a significant source of income and diplomatic leverage with the dukedoms of Bretonnia, Dwarven holds, and the lands of the Empire.
At current we have 2 wizards at command supporting our forces while a brave captain scouts the lands of the Empire for more lucrative trading partners.
While initially planning to launch a crusade against the Northmen for gold and glory, we have been forced to pivot towards the Greenskins in defense of our Dwarven allies.I just realized that Marienburg has totally absorbed Bretonnia, rip in piss frogs

KAZUK-HA KAZUKIN! HA!
>>152298063
While encamped to recuperate and resupply our scouts located a Greenskin force moving through the Underway, not willing to allow such a force to pass unmolested into our lands, we move to intercept.
The emphasis on trolls leads our leadership to believe that we have perhaps eliminated the savage orc's primary troop production, forcing them to rely more heavily on more expensive specialist.

We smell the beast before we see them, our yeomen being the first to get eyes on our foe and signally our force to form up.
Are there any unusual performance killers in the settings?
Are beastmen supposed to constantly be in the red for favor?
>>152299623
Our knights took far more losses in the last engagement than I had initially suspected, what should be 3 full squads barely have the number to fill out a single unit. They have been grouped into a single force to cover our flank and support our yeomen.
Likewise our infantry took significant loses. We have doubled these squads up as necessary to make as solid a line as possible.
Fortunately our artillery is fully manned and supplied and should prove a valuable advantage.
At last the order is given and our men move to cut the savages down.

>>152302024
Much to my chagrin, a unit of trolls simply runs past my line and heads straight for my artillery.
After a final volley, I order the men to leave the equipment behind and move while a unit of spearmen move to intercept and a squad of crossbows pivots to launch a barrage into the beast's backsides.
Having wiped out the orc's archers, my knights begin their charge into those beast currently engaged while the yeomen pepper the other side of the line
>>152289512
Why didn't you go to estalia and do beast camp to hide?

At last the Greenskins break and our Lord strikes down the enemy leader as it attempted to flee. What knights we have left chase down the stragglers.And that's all for me tonight, have fun /vg/
I find the Lore of Metal to be pretty useful in sieges.
The fighting really is grindy enough to make buffs and debuffs worthwhile for their short duration. And you can maximize the damage of bombardment spells because the enemy gets packed in during the street and wall fighting.
Dlc news where?
So when do we get units dedicated to one of the four chaos gods and at least one per each god?
>>152301518
>>152302825
always nice to get some variety, but, doesn't that make the barracks completely useless?
>>152303136
Soon™. But also never.

>>152303240
second expansion :^)
Are dark elves in this game yet? I'm not buying it until they are.
>>152303427
God damnit, I bet we won't even see anything for slaanesh because westerns are retards that are afraid of nudity but totally okay with violence.
>>152303307
not really.
Great weapons units and stuff like the iron breakers and thunderers need barracks. The idea is that the player and the AI can get a decent if basic army comp from the main building itself. Specialist units still need a barracks.
Might just make the later tiers increase the garrison size, so that a barracks actually acts like a barracks and allows you to store troops in.
so how long until we start hearing news on the historical TW?
>>152301656
Which LL is worse than Gelt?
>>152304532

My faction leader's appearance isn't carrying over to his heir as any barbar faction. I'm not using any faction leader reskin mods. Anyone know what gives?
>>152305945
Europe had lots of wars so blood and gore is often censored there but nudity isn't because it's prevalent in European culture.
Nudity was never prevalent in American culture which is why it's censored there but the American people have never experienced true wars besides the Revolution and the ACW so blood and gore is fine.
>>152306204
>Europe had lots of wars so blood and gore is often censored there
I'd just like to say that it's only the krauts that do this, and most of the time they get their own crappy versions of games. The rest of Europe is fine with violence.
>Bart_CA
>Yeah really good, better than we'd planned for. So, we mentioned back when we announced about doing a trilogy and then a load of DLC and Free-LC to pack in as much of the Warhammer world as we could. Idea being to make it this titanic experience in the end. The success of Part 1 means we can plan to do more and bigger than originally.
>That is so long as stuff like the steam review negativity over paid DLC doesn't mean we have to stop doing it.
From a post on reddit. Apparently CA is noticing the reviews. So, maybe all the negative reviews are a good thing, and will lead to cheaper DLC?
>>152287276
How are you playing as Sweden in Napoopan?
>>152305259
You know I really hope they end up Adding Krell at some point. Be it as a LL or just like a hero Agent.And once you recruit/unlock him Heinrich stops using THAT line
>>152308460
Krell will be part of Nagash's faction. Gets unique dialogue mocking Kemmler when he meets him, and has a chance to perma kill Kemmler in battle.
>>152308236
It would likely have to be scaled down to be cheaper, so no thank you. The rosters are missing enough units as is.
Do you do any autistic naming rules for your Heroes and Lords /twg/?
In my Empire play through I give them a new rank/title every 5 levels, except for mages.
Warrior Priest - Deacon, Father, Vicar, Bishop, Cardinal/Lector
Witch Hunter - Templar, Captain, Major, Chamberlain, Knight
Empire Captain - Captain (0-10), Ser (10-20), Lord
Generic Lords - Colonel, Brigadier, General, Field Marshall, Lord
All the Elector Counts are "Count" right from the beginning. All units get a unique title at rank 9, eg 2nd Reiksland Foot for a unit of Swordsmen.

>>152308573
delet this
>>152308236
Kind of glad to hear this honestly, really hoping that over the course of these games they cram in as much as they can. Be it as DLC or FLC.
That said they do need to work on the DLC front. It was fine up until Call of the Beastmen. Forcing people to buy the campaign and faction together is a bit shit.
Then again I guess they had to given there's not factions to play as outside Beastmen in the campaign.
>>152299176
>>152299264
It's the main reason I like the Dwarfs
>>152299040
Leave it to a manling to butcher khazalid
Do you think there are people in the Empire that are obsessed with Dwarf or Elven culture to the point of being creepy like weebs?
>>152308690
Not quite that bad, but I can't stand anyone but Vampire heroes and Lords having 'von Carstein' as part of their name. I mean it specifically refers to a vampire bloodline so I don't see why rando Necromancers and ghosts should bear it.
Ancient Empires when?
>>152309696
There are, and there are probably the reverse too.
Some High Elves who find Humans/Human culture so novel they get obsessed with it. They own human paintings, wear human clothes, and probably try to date humans but drop spaghetti.
So when do you think the skaven master race will be present in the game so we can purge the filthy man-things and degenerate primitives that are the beastmen lead by the great and mighty and boundlessly intelligent Thanquol?
>>152309854no seriously when i can't find a release date anywhere

I'm excited about the Wood Elf trailer. The Beastmen trailer that came out was immediately more love than the Beastmen have ever had before.
daily reminder that TW:WH was the best thing that GW or CA ever did
>>152313367
I agree
TW: Warhammer > TW: Shogun 2 > TW: Rome > TW: Medieval 2 > The rest.
why didn't they bring back the short cutscenes for spy actions?
>>152312942
>>152312704
Of course development has its expenses, but no one wanted that shit mini campaign that they threw together to up the price. Look at all the rubbish race packs for Rome and Attila, CA have been lazy and greedy with its DLC for a long time. If Beastmen came out as a race pack for the same price as Chaos, there'd be next to no complaints.
Hopefully they release the next DLC faction as just a faction instead of with another lazy mini campaign for 2-3x the price.
has the dlc been announced? Why am I seeing wood elves posted
>>152313881
I'm not sure if Attila had them, but in Rome 2 and Warhammer there are so many fucking agents that can do way too many things. M2 and S2, spies/assassins/geisha looked similar, and either infiltrated or killed stuff. In Warhammer you have 4-5 different agents who would all go about their 4-5 different actions differently. Or CA couldn't be fucked I guess.
>>152313367
>GW licenses out the warhammer franchise to CA/Sega to make Total War Warhammer, an ideal game for fans of the tabletop game
>a few months after they announce it they get rid of the setting entirely
I suppose it's a good last hurrah for WH:FB, but GW seem to like taking with one hand and giving with the other
>>152313881
Too many variations between races and settlements and shit I guess. The better question is why the fuck did they kill off the endgame cutscene. That is just pure laziness.
I wish this game had louder battle noise. The soldiers are too quiet when they're fighting, sure Chaos chants blood for the blood god when the charge but there's not enough screaming, shouting and chanting when the units are clashing. I only noticed when I went back and played S2 and M2, if the camera was even close to the fight it was nice and loud.
>>152312942
The chaos warrior was fine
The blood and gore should have been free this was a blatantly scummy move
The beastmen should have cost what chaos warrior did, and they honestly shouldnt have bothered with that crap campaign at all.
They arent too bad but they are very obviously and unapologetically over the line a few steps. If they just toned it down a little i think most complainers would stop.
There will always be people who complain about any dlc at all however...
>>152314437
chaos warriors were done and finished on release, as such it is an act of utter greed to do anything but include it in the base game
holding back graphical effects that should be in place on launch just for some free funds later is utter greedy and should be treated as such
the only positive is that the game actually works this time around, unlike rome 2, which was a despicable and decrepit mess that forever tainted not only sega which is already widely known for what they are, but also creative assembly for letting this happen
Just finished the Rapegoats mini-campaign. It was pretty good.
Never bothered with confederations tho. Just eradicated everything with one single stack.
>>152314140
It hasn't, but everyone is expecting Wood Elves next, since they're both the obvious counterparts and rivals to beastmen, and they're the only other race aside from Skaven that could be added without changing the map significantly. We already know Skaven are most likely going to be in the first expansion, so wood elves it is.
Most of the people posting are probably just elf memers though
>>152312195
Then they 110% won't be in game
Fimir are an age of nigmar property, wouldn't want to "confuse" customers by having them in warhammer total war
>>152314697

>>152315283
>>152259414
rollin mane
>>152312942
most people probably didn't want the mini-campaign. They are way to fucking costly to develop when you can add the faction to the grand campaign.
cut mini-campaigns out and race packs would be fine cost wise
>>152314942

>they get a full doom stack out of nowhere garrisoned in the city
FUCK YOU
>>152314697
I think he meant it was fine for how much you got for the price you paid, not that charging for them in the first place was alright. But agreed on all other points, especially Rome 2. Even the people that recommend it now cause "it's fixed" are retarded, the game is still a sub par horribly designed mess, and it's legacy fucks up all the current games. HP system, unrefined agents, army stances, can't have even a single unit without a general etc.
>>152315472
I doubt that mini campaign had much effort put into it. One or two cinematic, some custom text written by a 15 year old and a few different settlements. This wasn't exactly Kingdoms level mini campaigns.
Are there any mods that remove the stupid blood DLC events that give units retarted damage boosts? Whoever thought those where a good idea is a fucking retard.
>>152313892
Wood Elves 100% need a mini-campaign though
>>152315803
I like Rome 2s army and tradition system since it prevents the ungodly turn timer lag that comes when the AI spams hundreds of small stacks. So I will live with it for now.
>>152316886
>wanting another $20 race pack
>for some shitty mini-campaign
I wish CA would just bundle 3-4 mini-campaigns together and call it an expansion instead of attaching it to race packs.
>>152316886
Sell em separately I reckon.
>>152317214
>>152316904
The tradition system was pretty cool, but the horrible turn times could have been fixed through better recruitment systems and AI. I don't feel it was worth the trade off, since now I can't send a couple of units to the front to join a general, have a few garrisons in contested provinces, or be able to raise a few units to run down some raiders. I also can't have 2 general units in a single stack, which I liked doing so younger generals could get experience and shit.
hey niggers why the hate for mini campaigns?
sure overpricing them is bad, but they are almost always more enjoyable than the main campaign.
I easily spent 3-4x as much time playing Caesar in Gaul than the base campaign of Rome 2.
and the map design is perfect for highly detailed but geographically limited areas being displayed
if they spent a little more time on unique settlements, or at least released mod tools for them, all would be right with the world.
>>152317863
Mostly because the Beastmen mini campaign was a steaming pile of cowshit
>>152317863
I loved Caesar in Gaul too, and the Kingdoms campaigns. The Beastmen campaign was rushed, lazy cash grab though. Mini campaigns with effort are fantastic.
How do you use mods in Warhammer in a co-op campaign?
>>152318413
>the Beastmen mini campaign was a steaming pile of cowshit
How apt.
Finally, it's Tod time
>Darthmod Empire didn't add new regions
what? you had ONE JOB
anyone know a good mod for this? darthmod is worthless if it doesn't fix the most glaring flaw of Empire (one region france etc)
>>152318937
You CAN'T add more regions
what would greenskin society and foreign relations be like if goblins were in charge of everything?
>>152313881
Probably too many variations with units/races.
Plus the sad truth is most people watch them once and then skip or just out right skip them. So i guess it became "Why waste money on something most of the user base wont ever use"
>>152314314
It completely boggles my mind. This year there has been more videogame adaptations and love for Warhammer fantasy than there has ever been before.
All in the year in which the universe was rebooted into something completely different. And so far none of these adaptations have anything to do with the new universe.
I just don't get it.
>>152320698
maybe if the IP is inactive GW is more okay with letting other people use it, so it won't take away their sales, or something?
>>152317863
They're a good idea if you ask me. The only real issue I think is when they do things like Call of the Beastmen and make the bundle too big/costly. Also it was a bit shit you could only play as the Beastmen in it considering it's not like they put that much effort into unique events or cinematics or anything.
Also are the Rome II campaigns worth a go? I have them but never got round to playing them.

No, they have AP which is good but their attack speed is much slower than average. Use a mix between all three.

Aside from that armour spell Gelt kinda sucks.

This is seriously the most inspirational battle music in Attila
The Hunnic throatsinging during battle prep meanwhile legitimately fills me with dread, even during my White Huns campaign
Can someone post the lyrics to the Attila main menu music?

That's wrong though. It's incredibly fair to fight them fairly, they're just not up to the task. It's like fighting an trained martial artist, if you get a poleaxe it's not fair - the fact that you'd be btfo without it doesn't make a difference.
>>152336442
I'd be btfo'd even with a poleaxe, anon. ;)
>3 stacks vs 3 stacks
>Archeon, Sigvald plus Sartheriel as the chaos invasion force
>Whole strategy for me as Empire revolves around taking out key targets with my 2 steam tanks and 2 luminarks of hysh
>My steam tanks and Luminarks appear at the end of my reinforcement waves after losing 2 level 18 heroes and handfuls of rank 6 infantry cause I had no heavy hitters to counter theirs
FUCK
THIS
BULL
SHIT!!!

Ok I give you a rifle instead, same shit.
>>152336851
If I know how to use a rifle, sure (the AI wouldn't)
I still don't see how fighting a mentally challenged AI without any help given to them is "fair".
>>152278258
>>152337160
Because the definition of fairness is not 'both sides have an equal chance at winning', but that 'neither side receives special treatment from the system'.

Let me just go and challenge some quadruple amputee to a boxing match.
>>152278258
gyrocopters are basically dwarven missile cavalry.>>152337229
>>152337409
Assuming the boxing system is fair, yes, that's fair. The fact that the quadruple amputee isn't suited to that system is something else entirely.
Do you a senior high mathematics competition between the valedictorian and a
2.0 GPA retard is unfair and has to be 'fixed' by giving the 2.0 an extra 40 points?
>>152337437
missile cavalry are certainly not cavalry when the role we're discussing is to hunt down skirmishers.
>>152336790
I don't get why they let battles happen with 5+ stacks if they units have to trickle into the map as other ones die/route
It's just shitty and broken.
>>152223332
None of the gun or artillery units in game actually need to reload.
I have been playing a lot of M2 lately, but vanilla AI is KILLING me, is there a mod that cures the AI's terminal autism?
>decimate grimgor's entire army and put his strength rank from #1 to #20
>he gets a waagh next turn
>this is after confederating with 4 other tribes and owning all greenskin land by turn 50
fair game :)
>>152335972
>not wanting to unleash the dark shadow of the Hepthalite horde against the Sassanians as the Hunnites in the West lay siege to the Romans
Damn you're a pussy
They should have included the Guptas and most of India, then it would have been a REAL party instead of a glorified expansion
>>152337838
>faction based around having shit units and outnumbering enemies 3:1
>complain about them being true to tabletop
>>>/gsg/
>>152336245
I'm not sure about the lyrics but I'd guess they're in Mongolian since Hunnic is a lost/fragmentary language of uncertain origin
>>152337850
>unleash the hepatitis horde
>>152337916
The problem is when grimgor gets his shit kicked in but then still confederates a bunch of guys while he's way down in the power rankings
Stings a bit when you're the dorfs and can't even get barak varr to join you and the dwarfs of the western mountains actively hate you while grimgor is confederating the orcs way over near Tilea
>>152337916
>getting bonuses that the player couldnt hope to get because the AI is garbage
>>>/gsg/
>>152337578
Brimstone gyrocopters are essentially de facto anti-large missile cavalry.
>>152338002
>too stupid to make up for the bonuses AI gets
>too stupid to plan ahead or around such a thing in a strategy game
>too stupid to use his own ingenuity to outsmart and outmaneuvre the poorly programmed AI
>still think it's unfair because he's shit at simple video games
>>152337996

he was losing to the red fangs, apparently that's enough for every single tribe including the ones in the northern mountains to want his dick
>>152338002
>being this autistic

Is TWC behind all the negative review bombing on Total Warhammer? It seems surprisingly organized.
>>152338079
>beat the AI even with their bullshit bonuses
>still think the bonuses are bullshit

10/10 heard it in the Bret Knight's voice

They REKT'D my units up senpai but I won out at the end. Feels good but my heart, my heart was weeping. Some of those units had been with me since the start.
