They certainly are, but the joke is off the brief of countering enemy skirmishers. Which no gyrocopter does do. Which no missile cavalry does do for that matter, unless they're strong enough in melee and the opponent is shit enough.

>>152338901
I'm certain many of us play paradox games

The reality is that since /vg/ became a board /gsg/ has gone from one of the best generals to the very worst

Fun fact: Total War used to be on /gsg/ but we left because it was so cancerous

We're already here. It's incredibly obvious that """Grandi"""", """"Steamgroup""""", and """"Discord"""" are the only ones who are shitting up the thread
Most of us just want them to shut the fuck up.

>>152340225
Your own fault for constantly provoking them, if you want them gone then don't give them any attention.

>>152340154
It's a 7/10 ranking behind Attila, S2 and M2 judged as a pure TW game. As a WH + TW game it's around 9/10 and is better than most if not all other games in the series.

>>152340290
We aren't provoking them. They're quite literally falseflagging and throwing shit at each other. Imagine two groups of baptistanons who don't give a shit about bans.

Good, a lot of variety in armies though most maps be it siege, underground or open field maps are very lackluster. Also DLC can be a bit pricy but provides some good quality content so far. The finished game will likely address all these issues since they are expanding the world drastically, they've already started making unique asymmetrical maps and sieges are one of the biggest complaints they get.

Why didn't they just give us Bretonnia instead of Beastmen?
Considering the units have been there from the start, I mean.

>>152340380
Well you probably know better than I do, I just opened /gsg/ and saw that 3 of the first 4 posts were all attempts to bait shitposters.

>>152340441
Because adding Bretonnia as a playable faction does noting to the campaign. Adding bm changes the bretonnia campaign, empire campaign, dwarf campaign and greenskin campaign while helping the chaos campaign.

It is good fun. Not a bad TW game if a tad watered down. Sieges need some work but the rest of the gameplay is pretty solid

>>152340441
Brets will be Free-LC
Beastmen have a good dynamic with Wood Elves (DLC that accompanies the Bretonnia Free-LC) with their vendettas and secret war, plus they are good substitutes for rebel/bandit groups for now.

>>152340290
>if you want them gone then don't give them any attention
They'll just reply to themselves or each other then.

>>152340441
Because Bretonnia has not gotten an army book update in 30 years. The roster they have now is nearly identical to the TT version, minus three or so units.

>>152340441
Because they can sell beastmen. They promised one free faction and it has to be bretonnia.

What unit size are you playing on? Numbers feel a bit low for 3 stacks.

>>152340674
There are very few units in terms of count for each faction, even if inter-faction diversity is boosted.
No time progression or family trees, which is intentional because of hero units which must remain alive at all times
Hero units can pull of Dynasty Warriors regularly
Unit sizes are smaller.
Shit-tier sieges with teleporting units.
No unit abilities or stances.
Balance problems like always
None of these make the game unplayable but as it is it's an inferior game to Attila.

Watered down diplomacy and city management, no naval combat, although there's multiple completely different armies they all have relatively small rosters.
Still runs on warscape engine, certain campaigns have little direction or variation but the two biggest ones chaos and dwarves should be getting a lot more when the expansions come.
Chaos divided + ogre kingdoms and all that eastern shit will spice those campaigns up a lot as both respectively only really fight norsca and greenskins for the most part.
Game is still in works and will get a lot more content but if theres anything you want to see in the game/changed then now is the time to voice the opinion whilst they are still working on the game.

>>152340925
Tomorrow

>>152340154
If you have 0 interest in Warhammer you won't feel lost in it. It's also been the most smooth launch CA have had in years really. (DLC prices aside.)

It's probably one of the better of the newer total war games. The settlement management is quite simplified though which is disappointing but not a deal breaker, it's kind of like AoC.

With the DLC so far the game only has 6 playable factions (outside of mods) But has the most diverse set of units and tools yet. Also they've dramatically improved the unit collision over ROME II and Attila. Battles do feel a bit too fast though but there are mods for that.

I guess it really depends on how you feel about a fantasy total war game. If you like the idea of magic and monsters and mixed arms in a Total War game you'll probably enjoy it.

>>152341217
Not him but as a pure /his/toryfag, the game is only above average if you aren't interested in Warhammer. I mean even spells are just glorified abilities.

/ksg/ is a circlejerk but they aren't actively assholes

/gsg/ makes a point of being dicks to everyone and everything and shitposting constantly and forever- the entire reason Stellaris was exiled to /4xg/ was because of /gsg/ bitching about it even though they're basically paradox general because "it isn't REAL grand strategy"

They even wanted to kick HOI4 out because it was "too casual"

Everything is a reason for bitching for those fucks, it's tiresome and disgusting in a general which I remember once being one of the most helpful and supportive and funny of all the generals- I don't know why the culture of being a dick came into existence or when but it annoys me greatly

>>152342007
Because you're mistaken. It isn't /gsg/ in general - it's like 3-5 supreme autists. If you were there for Stellaris it was two people over and over and over quoting the entire fucking thread and telling them to fuck off. /gsg/ as a whole wants these faggots to fuck off forever.

Is it possible, and if not, is there a mod that allows you to change culture type in Attila? It'd be cool transitioning from a shitty barbarian tribe into a professional military state.

>>152342152
I don't think that's possible just because of the way Total War is programmed. People have been asking for playing other nations in saves too but it doesn't work.

so glad I took the plunge on Attila. Thanks for convincing me, /twg/. It's really good so far. I'm surprised I don't see many people outside of /twg/ talk about it. I guess Rome2 left a bad taste in people's mouth.

How was Attila compared to Warhammer at launch, performance wise? I remember R2 being absolute fucking trash but WH is solid.

>>152342302
Thank you for the advice, added.

>>152342310

Proper Combat is great for balance and Molay's Magic & Artifacts makes magic feel like it actually DOES something instead of just add a light-show.

>Walls for most settlements and most races
Wasting a slot on a garrison-upgrade just to get walls feels pointless. This bakes the walls into the level 2 settlement-upgrade. To balance the garrison-nerfs, more units are now provided if you REALLY feel a need to upgrade garrisons.

hoo fucking rah, thanks anon

What are some unrealistic elements of TW's battles? Just for discussion, not advocating MUH REALISM


- Range of most hand-projectile weapons is much shorter than IRL

- A ranged unit would almost never fire anywhere near a friendly unit in melee with a enemy

- Units would probably be very hard to control once engaged in melee

- Horses/elephants almost coming to a complete stop as soon as they hit the enemy

>>152344263

Not him, but speaking of this. I don't understand why people keep complaining about assassins.

I have now beaten the campaign as Vampire Cunts and Greenfags and not ONCE have I had to deal with an assassin.

How does assassination even work? Either the AI really tones it down on normal difficulty or I've just gotten lucky because everyone and there mother complains about assassination over-use.

>>152344013
Is the magic mod save compatible?

>>152344253
>Nope, he updated his shit yesterday.

Oh fug. How does it differ from Cataph's version of Molay's btw?

Also, when the fuck are those lazy ass modders going to update the other faction unlockers?

>>152340154
disappointed with it honestly since it was a dream combination. Everything about the combat feels as wrong as it did in Rome II and battles just lack spectacle. The campaign feels restrictive and the options are just too limited with buildings, trading and so on. The races are different but they all feel shallow.

>>152344402

Yup. I picked it up mid-way through my VC-campaign and it worked without hitch.

>>152344285
>A ranged unit would almost never fire anywhere near a friendly unit in melee with a enemy

I really wish this was something we had control over. I really don't care for some mercenaries or some shit tier levy units that are just there to hold the line, so yeah, I would really like if my archers could fire into them and the enemy they have tied up.

In Attila, I've noticed friendly fire from behind is much more common. I have lost lots of units because of it and while it can be aggravating, the fact that it CAN happen makes me happy.

>>152342310
it was pretty bad at launch. It's a lot better now but still suffers a lot unless you have specific hardware.

And honestly I think not many people talk about it these days because everything already been said by this point. kind of like with Rome/medieval/empire

>>152340154

Probably my GOTY. I've got 80 hours on it and I've still not even remotely ran out of stamina.

The "all neutral factions" mod adds practically endless replayability.

>tfw Dwarfs team up with Greenskins to go wreck Chaosfags

>>152344457
Did you add the proper combat mod too?

>>152343593
You can get them through trade yes, and honestly I've not had that happen but I'm pretty sure you just need them to meet the building requirement not to keep it running.

>>152344570

I did not, but the Proper Combat combination with the magic mod says that he merged the two FROM the latest Molay's.

So in theory you should be able to run either Molay's, or Proper Combat, or the combination-mod and they should all be save-game compatible.

>>152344372
On normal difficulty my first few campaign starts were inevitably plagued by the AI parking 2-4 agents on my main army, constantly going for sabotages or assassination attempts.

This game is fucking bleeding me dry. I can't help buying DLC for this shit the second it's released. Who DOESN'T want to play fucking Beastmen? Fuck.

>>152344832
Fell bats, vargheists, dire wolves, terrorgheists... you do know you have flying units, yeah? You also have the best cavalry in the game.

>>152344832
Acquire flying units

>>152344919

Perhaps it's something that's toned down in my 30 mods somewhere.

I see people complaining about the high assassination-rate all the time but I've never even experienced an attempt.

Looking through my mod I wonder if it may be the "No Cheats for the AI" mod.

I know I'm casual as shit, but the AI doesn't get to cheat to compensate for not being smart. If it wants to win it should play better, not print money.

>>152345035

The Vargheist are good, but there is 0 chance of me getting them anywhere near the mortars.

I haven't experimenter much with those massive flying bats. Are they the way to go?

What is this fabled cavalry you speak of? I'm starting to think I might have been focusing on all the wrong things.

The combo uses Cataph's version. Molay's vanilla can get a bit ridiculous with buffs (map wide leadership aura, insane loot bonuses, etc)

>>152345186

Nah, but like I said it might be something either in Proper Combat, or No Cheats for the AI or something.

I never installed any mods that directly dumbed down agents though because, as mentioned, I never really had a problem with them. Hell I never even fucking experienced them.

>>152345174
Cavalry would be Blood Knights. Extremely expensive but to recruit them you would be building their recruitment building in every prov-cap you can (Vampire Keep).

Fell bats are utter dog shit against anything that isn't a non dwarf ranged unit or any kind of artillery crew. If it can't fight back, it's good. They have 0 base armor (can get +20 from a tech in the top right tree) and die pretty quick, so you have to be careful at times. If the enemy sends anything to attack them while they are fucking around with their target, you have to pull out immediately. They will get cut down.

Dire wolves are also good. Extremely fast, can evade enemy fire and can rip units to shreds pretty damn quickly.

Yeah, vargheists are slow. They won't be doing much to artillery. They are more of a flying shock cavalry, imo. Very good for shitting up enemy lines after the initial clash, or as a flying chariot type unit that breaks enemy lines and allows your other units to clean house while they are scared and on the ground.

I'm not a fan of Terrorgheists. They are fast, but against any single unit - lords especially, they aren't good. They will generally win, but when the unit starts fleeing, the Terrorgheist will continue to chase them. That's obviously good, but all it will do is Chase them -> Land to attack -> Miss -> Fly towards enemy -> Land, ad infinitum. They take some effort to use but imo the slot it better used on a vargheist or really any non-shit tier unit.

>>152345469
You're really lucky then. I get agents roaming my lands before I can even recruit my own.

>>152344372
It gets terrible on VH. I'm talking "can't cross a region without getting assassinated" kind of terrible.

>>152345562

I made a mod a while back to observe AI behavior that basically just gave me (Empire) a unique, faction specific unit that had map wide vision and other assorted goodies. Long story short AI has a hardon for agents and every faction races to construct those buildings. This might explain why some factions do consistently well on the campaign, like Orcs, because they're usually the first to start shitting out agents, usually around turn 30, and just start harassing everyone with them.

>Dwarfs are the slowest to recruit
>Empire seems to only like spamming Empire Captains
>Vampires love Banshees, usually have them out in force by turn 50

>>152345526
>Blood Knights
You lie. Those weren't in the game last time I played! Fuck, are they DLC or something?

>Fell Bats
Those are the tiny shit-tier bats, right? Yeah the best I can find use for them is usually to distract enemy ranged units and usually they die before they reach anywhere into the realm of the useful.

>Dire Wolves
I don't think I'm playing these right. Do they come with Vanguard Deployment or something? I can't seem to find them a target that's not going to tear them them shreds. Do you suggest I try to keep them on the ranged exclusively?

>Vargheists
I'll try playing them more as a second-wave rather than a first one then!

>Terrorgheists
Agreed.

Also where do you land on Varghulf? I know they're kinda' mid-tier units, but I tend to find that they break enemy lines well on the initial charge as long as you can back them up moral-wise.

Does anyone else here use the Lower Hit Chance Mod? for WH? I've recently tried it and like it a lot. Changes just a single line, so it's really compatible, and I like mods that don't change too much at once. The effect is pretty large though. Melee combat is much slower so I can enjoy it more, and all other support like missiles and artillery is soft buffed because of that. Also, differentiates units based on quality a lot more.

>>152345825

That sounds awful. I need to keep my eye out for that and might need a mod to tone it down later if it gets as awful as you say. I'm playing as Cunts right now. Send help.

>>152345945
>tiny
They are bigger than a man. But yeah, they're the small ones.

>>152345945
>You lie. Those weren't in the game last time I played! Fuck, are they DLC or something

They were the first free DLC released alongside the paid Blood DLC. You should have them if you are on patch 2 or above.

>Fell Bats
Yes, the shit tier ones. Borderline useless unit, but good for tying up stuff. Handy for slowing a cavalry charge, for example.

>Dire Wolves vangaurd

I think so. It's either those or the chaos dogs. They are best put on ranged, yeah, and then the enemy melee line after the ranged are done for. They are bad for head-on melee engagements.

>Varghulfs

I like them, but I don't go out of my way to get them. They unlock requirements are good, since it's a good building to have (Vampire Keep, same as blood knight and Terrorgheists and Vampire ladies). They take a long time to kill, and with regeneration, can be taken out of the fight for a bit until it's ready to kick more ass. Just have to be careful when they get hit by an Anti Large squad.

>>152345945
Blood nights are Free-LC they came in a patch, assuming you keep your game up to date they should be available if you get a vampire keep and the highest tier armoury.

>>152342080
/gsg/ has been bad for a long time

I remember back in the day people would actively discourage pirating because "paradox is one of the cool companies"

Granted they have done a lot with DLC I don't like but the reasons for becoming a pirate are basically "fug u I am moral crusader 4 justice" which is retarded because the entire reason to pirate is because the company is being a dick and you feel they should be punished. It has nothing to do with morals.

/gsg/ just seemed to be overrun after 2013 or 2012 by dumb kids and dickheads, it never recovered.

>>152342080
I feel you may mean /gsg/ exiles. I'm tired of dealing with a general which constantly sucks.

>>152345945
Both Fell Bats and Dire Wolves become massively better if you get the red Lord skill for them, in addition to the tech upgrades. Even better if you have a lord that have the trait that buffs them. If you have all that Dire Wolves will chew through any low/mid tier unit incredibly fast, and do a surprising amount of damage to good ones. Bats are not quite as good, but have the mobility advantage so that they're harder to intercept.

promise me that you'll never make a discord /twg/

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.

makes the most sense. Brettonia/Wood Elves/Beastmen form this love triangle that fight constantly, and Beastmen are already in the game. Brettonia just needs a few more units, some quests, and they're basically done.

>>152348954

Huh, you're right. They are longbows. Always thought they were standard bows, and considering their use in the hundred years war it would make sense for Brets to use them.

>>152349065

They used to have cannons though, but later editions made them technologically impaired for some reason. They would be a lot more flexible if we could go back to earlier stuff.

They're supposed to be more trained/professional archers, as opposed to taking some peasants and giving them bows.

Gameplay-wise, they're just be upgrades to regular peasant bowmen.

A different name might be in order, but you get the purpose, right?

I think Wood Elves are going to be similar to a lot of the Roman troops in Rome 1/2.

They're almost all going to have ranged attacks, equivalent to the Roman javelins. They'll fire off a few bow shots then be able to rush into melee. They'll have dedicated archer units as well.

>>152350573
Sisters of Twilight way more likely as a Legendary Lord than Ariel, especially as their lore is that they are her physical representatives on the council and battlefield these days.

So you assume Sisters of the Thorn are a charlemagne too far? I strongly suspect of Glade Riders, Great Eagle and Warhawk Riders, someone isn't going to make it.

For a future legendary lord pack, it'd be nice to see Durthu, and then a Treeman Ancient as a monster-sized Legendary Lord who can cast spells from the Lore of Life.

>yfw wardancers animations will never receive enough charlemagnes to live up to their potential

>>152351950
Units are taken directly from the tabletop, you know. What are these units that will fire before engaging in melee? Certainly not glade guard or scouts. Waywatchers will probably be too small a unit size to be any good at that sort of thing either.

I guess maybe Glade Riders or Warhawks could fill that role. For some reason Bretonnian Mounted Yeowman have to choose between a spear and a bow, so I wonder what they'll do about the Glade Riders that have both standard.

>>152350424

Nobles wouldn't use them. And peasants are too poor to afford them.

So really, Bretonnia is limited as fuck since they don't have any professional army.

>>152355881
They are all magically controlled by one individual. Having their movements be synched is more efficient. Is there any reason they should each have the sort of magic required for an autonomy of purpose that lets them control all of their own footfalls?

>I hope the victory condition won't be some shit like "conquer half the known world" and "destroy x, y, and z"

That is what the victory conditions are for every faction. You will have to destroy beastmen, ally/destroy wood faggots and empire, and then stomp Archaon. And then reunite Bretonnia under one banner.

There isn't really much else you can add, especially in terms of defense.

>>152356283
I think it would be better if they went all in and made the all the skeletons in your army or control group synchronized. It triggers me when i have 5 skellies marching in perfect unison while the 6th is off beat.

>>152356618
Beastmen and Wood elves makes sense, but Empire? That's not comfy at all.
Archaon is boring at this point. The chaos invasion was a mistake.

Wood Elves will get Wild Hunt
Bretonnia will get Crusade
Volkmar for the Empire will get some sort of congregation of flagellants following him
Skaven will get more reddit rats
Lizardmen will get lizardsand critters
Daemons and Chaos Divided will get it

lol something weird happened. i used one of my agents to chase away one of their generals (he only had like 2 ghouls in his army) and decided to siege their castle. the weird part was they refused to leave their base so, i just waited for their supplies to run out and now, they lost 80% of their forces.

won the battle with ease.

>>152357183
Not weird, when their food/supply runs out (undead dying of hunger is a bit strange but whatever) they start losing half their man every turn!
When besieging a city you'll see two numbers on that city, the amount of turns until supply runs out and the amount of turns until the city falls to you without fighting.

Guys, what are babby's first steps in tw:wh. Play as empire in short victory?

>>152358308
Take reikland then take maurienburg then do whatever. You can win the game by spamming spearmen and autoresolving.

Empire campaign is a bit harder than others. I'd recommend orcs for a new player.

Go with dorfs as starting faction.

Dorfs are the easiest because they have a ton of good buildings, hard as nails infantry, excellent siege not to mention quarrelers.

They are a great starting faction. As Empire you're going to be fighting every neighbour constantly.

Thanks, I'm probably the only one actually doing some math when creating those rolling charts.
Also try splitting up 90 by 6 factions with 2-3 LL each.

Orks are the least fun faction by far.

Because, overall, they're the weakest.

They have the worst missiles (barring VC, I guess), terrible artillery, terrible cavalry, and their infantry is pretty bad until you get Black Orks. Black Orks are good, and Grimgor is good, but that doesn't save their roster. The Giant Spider and Giant are also alright, but the giant runs away the instant any spears/guns are pointed at him, and the spider also goes down to guns in an instant.

Overall, they suffer from the worst moral in the game, and battles are frustrating because your units are constantly routing and regrouping, which inflicts massive casualties on you.

The only thing the Orks have is the Waagh mechanic, which allows you to overwhelm someone with numbers. Sure, that is orky and all, but why not translate that to their units? Why not make their unit sizes much larger than every other race? Why make me have to wait around to get some other random magical army to follow me around?

CA really fucked up on the Orks. They managed to make a faction that is weak, unfun, and poorly designed.

This is coming from someone who LOVES Orks, in Fantasy and 40k. My Fantasy army (rest in piece) and my 40k army are both orks, and I've done numerous table top games where I've rolled up ork characters.

Who thought the event in Attila where some fuck tries to prevent someone taking office was a good idea? Does literally nothing but waste time and since you will always decree it it wastes like 2 turns of influence that you're swimming in anyway.

Is there a mod that makes Chaos not boring garbage?

Doomdivers just get sniped by other artillery.

And they're certainly worse than Organ Guns

>>152359008

And are equally surrounded by friendly dorfs who can handle themselves just fine.

>>152359316

When the timer runs out in a siege the garrison starts starving.

>>152359924

>dissing doom divers

Holy shit nigger.

>>152360635
>Doomdivers just get sniped by other artillery.

you haven't even used DDs lmao stop talking out of your ass

they are the most accurate and one of the longest ranged artillery in the game and you think other artillery can snipe them? what the fuck are you talking about?

>>152359924
They are actually not that bad, of course, Dwarf infantry on the campaign shits all over everything else, but, at least on MP/Custom battles, Orc units are decently priced

Their campaign is boring tho, you HAVE to start with Grimgor, you will be fighting dwarfs, who, on top of the insane bonus to the AI, shit all over your infantry, and you can only get a WAAAAGH and autoresolve your way to Karaz-a-Karak, it gets much better when you start fighting humies and skellies

Tho they need something else, in my opinion, a much broken unit cohesion, orcs properly ranked feels wrong, and would give them a (small) edge over ranged and siege units

I'm fine with their big units falling against their counters tho

>>152360467
>Kinda sucks we wont be getting any DLC this month

What are you basing this on?

>>152360352
Stop autoresolving faggot.

Also there are mods for giving AI an advantage on auto resolve.

All of the above, I just recruit all kinds of shit, battles the AI is always out maneuvering me with cavalry and my cities are Zimbabwe tier.

I'm not very good at planning ahead to be honest, my familiarity with strategy comes from RTS which planning a head is usually coming up with cookie cutter build orders in 20-30 minute games.
