The first thing Radious mod does to catch people’s eyes is often its distinctive artistic style which utilizes a combination of bizarre machinations, inspired by popular culture and melded into various background objects which all work in conjunction with the vivid palette to surround the viewers in a psychedelic ambience. The real highlight of Radious mod is its focus on characterisation rather than petty lore limitations, the mod shows significant depth and development despite each being developed by a single person.

The mod straddles the line between real and surreal. Far from a superficial attempt establishing a psychological tone, the unique style is appropriate for an investigation of the human psyche where reality intersects perception and imagination. The bizarreness does not move out of line: the unrealistic units and the sincerity of the creator both serve to ground the mod in reality. The human mind can be an alien place, but the problems it may cause are nonetheless real.

Radious mod embodies a concept which drives forward the player and the show’s messages rather than appearing as a realistic character. In psychiatry the source of the cure is always the patient, whereas doctors and drugs merely facilitate the patient’s self-discovery. Operating completely at his own whims and without regard to traditional ethics such as lore and practice, Radious illustrates the importance of personalized and adaptive care instead of systematic approaches on patient treatment, a point that self proclaimed "understanders of strategy" fail to understand.

Others don’t see the world as you do; each person has his or her own struggles and imperfections. Without trying to truly understand and empathise with those around us, we will never see beyond face value. Radious Mod is not just a story about psychiatric professionals and mod critics; it’s a story about each of us struggling with our mind and coming into terms with the world surrounding it.

Dear man-things,

Your warlord, Karl FranzFranz, is very stupid and not very good at backstabbing. Dwarf-things (us) are much better at kill-kill and our breeders are much prettier. You will all squirt the musk of fear once we come down from the hill-hills, led by Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Horned Rat curse his name-name. The only way to stop us is by leaving as much warpstone as ratmanly possible outside of your sewer entrances in every city. We need this to defeat the most potent of potentates, the most illustrous of illustrouses, Grey Seer Thanquol, Horned Rat bless his great name--you would do well to erect monuments to him lest you incur his wrath. He is incredibly furry, handsome, and has a very long tail.

Sincerely,
Dwarf-things

What are you basing this on? Why wouldn't they release with a hero/lore like the other campaign pack? Why would DLC05 come out months after DLC04 and what do you possibly think is coming in between? Nothing?

>>152523916
The beastie boys were the only faction playable in their minicampaign, so it's not impossible that the wood elves will be the only playable faction in their minicampaign as well. Playable Bretonnia is not necessary.

>>152523675

I'm not talking about the Hero/Lore for the Wood Elf campaign pack. I'm talking about what happens to Wurrzag and the free race in relation to it.

>VC LL + Lore + Hero for this upcoming update.

Leaves

>Orc LL
>Free Race
>Lore
>Hero

With the Wood Elf campaign pack somewhere in there. So far they've gone in order from left to right on the diagram. Are they just going to skip the Orc LL and Free Race? Especially when that free race is Bretonnia and there is no way, I refuse to believe, that they'd release Wood Elves before Bretonnia.

So assuming the Wood Elf Campaign includes, Bretonnia, Lore/Hero what happens to Wurrzag?

>>152524217

It would be really weird to not have Bretonnia be more fleshed out by the time Wood Elves are released. I honestly expected them out much sooner, but once the dataminers confirmed DLC05 was a Welf campaign pack I figured they'd go together like peanut butter and jelly.

so what's the deal with Ancient Empires? What set's it apart from just playing Rome II?

All the atilla mechanics, more factions, emergent factions, family trees, influence, dynamic fire, improved battle ai, new battle system, population and manpower system, new religion system, new building and tech tree system, migrating barbarians.

>>152540150
You forgot splitting armies.

Thinking of installing a TW game

What should i go for Medieval 2, Napoleon, or Shogun?

I don't understand how you're supposed to beat Chaos after their ridiculous buffs.

The only way to counter them seems to be massing missile cav or some other retarded shit. Or just auto resolve instead of wasting your time.

VIVE L'EMPEREUR

>>152540415
What time period do you want? Shogun II and Napoleon are both solid vanilla games so either would be good, with Medieval 2 I'd say do it with SS or Bellum Crucis cause vanilla is kinda lacking

Fantasy was designed by a bunch of History majors and is filled with historical stand-in countries and cultures. Thought is given to the political maps and there's developed timelines for every faction and a common world history.

It's a very history-friendly fantasy. The whole History vs Fantasy thing always felt very forced. They are both pretty excellent.

That's half the appeal of Warhammer.

>>152540252
Wait, what? As in armies without generals?

>>152541981
That's fair. There's something for everyone, though; Bretonnia is fairly grounded in reality with their weapons and aesthetic.

Elves don't look as "cartoony" either, except for Dark Elves that look like they serve Lord Zed and Rita Repulsa.

>>152542154
You can split off armies with their own captains from your main army.

You need all your movement points to enter march stance and on the turn you trigger it it will give you only 75% range.

Good vanguard unit, imo. Look at it like this

MMMMMM

___DDD___
XXXXXXXX
MMMMMM

X = Skirmisher
M = infantry
D = Dogs

You send in the dogs to fuck up their skirmisher line, giving you the edge on the initial charge, meaning you lose fewer soldiers and your own skirmishers will be shooting at men with their backs turned.

If you stick west of Denmark you will have plenty of buffer. Just avoid defensive alliances with Rugians/Burgundy/Varinians/Langobards/Thurigians so you don't get dragged into war with the Huns.

You could just go for coastal France -> Coastal Spain & Portugal, but I'm not a fan of being so spread out. You have too much to defend when you have a sparse empire.

i have taken some land west but the empire have taken most of the lands and i dont want to fuck with them at the moment. i could maybe
go and attack the dwarfs to the west and get an easier path to reach other human settlements to the west. everyone hates them anyway.

i could go south and attack the border princes but the problem with that is i may or may not have to deal with the greenskins there further south because im at war with them to please my dwarf neighbor. i could also go north but that means i got to deal with chaos zerg rush bullshit at some point.

Nagash can literally corrupt the earth, basically turning whatever land he's jizzed onto a pseudo reality marble (a nice "fuck you" to that bitch Gaia) and comes back from the dead no problem. He's not high-tier but he could do a lot to fuck with Gilgamesh, esp. if the stuff about vamp magic fucking with regular magic is true (and the Gil in this instance is made of mana).

And if he is made of mana, a Runesmith with a stronk enough rune of anti-magic could potentially just trap him in one like a Pokemon.

The Chaos gods are all powerful, bro. Strongest fictional characters in existence. Nobody can ever win against them, not even the Christian god. It's canon, deal with it :^)

Is there anything in the WHFB world that could even possibly EVEN SCRATCH an abrams? Let alone disable it. I'm talking about a highly mobile, extremely well armed and armoured war machine, equipped with an autoloading, computer aided 120mm gun with thermal and NV optics, pintle mounted & coaxial .308 machine guns for point defense and a REMOTELY OPERATED .50 cal for the commander to desecrate the corpses of his enemies, a multifueled turbine engine that can go up to 75km/hr, IMPENETRABLE DEPLETED URANIUM ARMOR, reactive armor which FUCKING EXPLODES AWAY projectiles, blasting vents, spall liners, and protected against chemical, biological and nuclear threats, making the crew virtually invincible, and well supplied by a logistics company. Seriously, is there even anything that can TOUCH this monster?

>>152557921
That's a big bird.

>and Gilgamesh shrugged it off

This meme needs to die, Gilgamesh totally got corrupted by the mud. It's why he's suddenly not as much of a fag in F/HA after he's been cleansed of it while in shota mode.

>>152557573
>Ea gg.

Pseudo-RM. It's still corrupted earth. Whether Ea kills that or not is up in the air.

Nagash doesn't really have a great arsenal of anti-Gilgamesh shit, unless that lore of light spell can net swords mid-air. Somebody strong with the Lore of Shadow however will fuck up Gilgamesh.

>>152558048
Yes.

The Christian God is literally omnipotent.

The Chaos Gods are just really, really powerful.

>It's why he's suddenly not as much of a fag in F/HA after he's been cleansed of it while in shota mode.
That's canon not the case, he's still drenched in it because he's an incarnated servant at that point. The reason is plain and simple because he wasn't a massive ass as a kid.

>whether or not Ea kills that or not is up in the air
It really isn't. HA is an actual dream so its performance in that aside it's made very clear that Ea rips apart any reality marble, including Gaia's.
Also, Gilgamesh can technically use all the NPs in his treasury, he just thinks he's above that - see his intro in Fate where he activates the scythe to hit Saber from behind somehow.
that being said I want to see Nagash and Gilgamesh try to out-ham each other

>>152558270
It's a r63 of a guy.

Name ONE thing that can even scratch an abrams' paint job.

That's how gender works yes...

You can think you're a girl all you want that doesn't stop you having a peepee a mental peepee :^)

>>152558424
Do you not understand what omnipotent means you illiterate satan worshipper? This debate is pointless since G-D is real and your theoretical fictional character isn't.

Tanukhids are too much fun. I want to get other achievements, but Tanuki pikes are too good.

Which is why Gelt could finally useful. Plague of Rust and Transmutation of Lead all up in this motherfucker. If only the guy had a decent way to actually hurt him (besides Final Transmutation but there's no way he'd have enough mana to cast that on top of everything) he'd stand good a chance.
