So this is supposed to show the possible addon area, right?
If an expansions covers the east and the south the standalone version will be really strange and disconnected. The eastern part seems really small too..

>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

It is now September. With the end of the summer months, The sallow season begins. Ros-fothar in the tongue of the Asrai, it is a time of waning. The Consort-King Orion weakens and rages against his fate, destined to be immolated on the pyre in the coming months. The forest undergoes a change of color from the vibrant hues of summer to more subdued and mottled shades of Autumn.

But if it is a time of waning, so too is it a time of harvest. The bounty of the forest hangs ripely, to be plucked effortlesly by the merry wanderers of its vales and meadows. How fitting, then, that in this, the first month of the season of harvest, the Wood Elves will make a bounteous gift of themselves, the latest and greatest of the factions to be released in Total War: Warhammer.

Wood Elves soon.

Why do I love Vlad so much?
It's pretty simple when I think about it.
Vlad 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 Vlad 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, Vlad 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 Vlad is not one that is easily penetrated.
Vlad 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.
Vlad 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 Vlad. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt.
Vlad 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 Vlad, the entire Warhammer world, the entire Games Workshop as we know it crumbles.
The Reik would stop flowing without Vlad, 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 Vlad so much.

Poorfag here Beastmen or Grim & grave?

>>153754043
GG.

Beastmen are smelly and don't know how to witness true power.

Daily reminder that elves are the best race, and Wood Elves are the best elves. Therefore, Wood Elves are the best faction.

Seriously, am I retarded? This battle is impossible. This is the first time i've fought the Beastmen and I was so amazed at how hard they shit on me that i've been replaying it over and over to see if it can be won. Garrison stack is a pair of swords, a pair of spear/shields, and a pair of crossbows.

If I don't instantly remove the minotaurs by pouring all of my ranged firepower in to them, my army is chewed up by Khazrak and the gors. If I tie Khazrak up with my lord, the minotaurs charge through my entire line and cause an almost instantaneous rout. If I hold up both the minotaurs and Khazrak the ungor raiders just fire in to the melee blob and end the battle with 200 kills. This is absurd. Battle difficulty is normal, the Archaon/Sarthorael doomstack was easier than this shit.

>>153754508
Minotaurs are fucking insane in this game.

Kinda a refreshing change from tabletop.

>>153754043

Beastmen are fun to fight against, and you don't need the dlc to do it

For Legendary Lords, do you find it better to raise their combat abilities or their army buffs?

How historically accurate is Fall of the Eagles really?
Were 5th century Roman troops really that fucking insurmountable to other nations?

>>153763725
Doesn't invalidate my point though, we may as well name the White House the Red and Black House because that's what color it was when it was burning down, it'd still be stupid.

So will there eventually be 4 LLs per race?
Will mousolin ever be officially playable?

>>153763637
The release info specified that they hope the RoR system is going to inspire a whole bunch of mods.

>>153764239
Only the top-tier ones are even that strong, and I'm pretty sure the Romans, having the only professional armies at the time and whose main issue was losing control over their shit and having an empty treasury and overextended border, would have better top-tier troops than anyone else around.

>>153764239
>Were 5th century Roman troops really that fucking insurmountable to other nations?
Well I don't want to spoil it to you m8 but in the end the roman empire collapses and barbarians pour in, so no not really

>>153764293
Some races have a lot more potential legendary lords than others. I doubt CA is aiming for all of them to have the same amount.

Doubtful.

>>153764435
In the West maybe.

>>153764435
Yeah but the Imperial Ming army wasn't actually weaker than the Manchu and they lost anyway. In both cases, bureaucratic nonsense, overextension and an empty treasury was what killed it.

>>153764509
inb4 t. greek

>>153764293
Probably for all the ones out right now, but it's unlikely every playable race will have that many simply due to a lack of characters to choose from. Still, the fact that we got a literal who like Ghorst shows that CA isn't above making things up if they have to.

Mousillon will probably never be officially playable though, as they never had TT rules.

Is there a character that could even possibly EVEN TOUCH Vlad Von Carstein? Let alone defeat him. And I’m not talking about pre Nehekeran Vlad Von Carstein. I’m not talking about Vlad Von Carstein wielding blood drinker either. Hell, I’m not even talking about blood drinker and carsteins ring Vlad Von Carstein after drinking the blood of Sigmar, after his lover Isabella has been slain, equipped with the finest armor forged by nagash.

China was too powerful,, too large and too well administrated for its own good.

If the government decided to put a stop to all gunpowder development, that meant no more gunpowder development.

Meanwhile, Europa had hundreds of minor kingdoms who all hated eachother, if some inventor couldn't get funding or support one place, he just went somewhere else.

There were no playable fact6ion in the west at release, so they probably thought they could get away with squeezing it up.

But that's going to backfire with the Beastmen, Bretonnia and the Wood Elves, Three factions have to share that area.

>>153770042
I highly doubt Araby will be included, they are different enough from the Empire or Brettonia to be different. However they are a no-name faction with no up to date rule book.

Plus it would mean one of the expansion would have to be about expanding south of the badlands since the land is like 3 times the size of the current map. They also would not dedicate an expansion to only Araby and Kangs.

In fact how are they going to add the Kangs? They are DLC 8, and the next expansion is supposedly gonna be about the elves and lizard men. The current DLC has added no new land, and Nehekhara is fucking huge.

>>153778696
GW won't let any models get imported.

>>153778696
Araby will probably have like 4 helmets, 2 faces and the same VA for the entire faction, alongside a light roster (spearmen, swordmen, archers, light cavalry, heavy cavalry)

I wonder if it would be possible now.

It is possible to import textures, so you could make empire units brown. Then use the helmet from the new skeleton unit of renown, they look kinda Arab like.

If we got enough assets it may be possible, and if they gave us proper modding tools it would definitely be possible however they would have no land as we can not alter the map.

Wouldn't that just be a larger scale Age of Mythology?

>>153780918
800s to 900s

Got some great historical characters, the sons of Ragnar each forging their own kingdom. Aelfred the great, the man who beat the Vikings and unified England.

Gameplay would have very little cav, and no shock cav armies would be all about sheid walls clashing. Slingers would dominate range, as archers are expensive and rare.

Main factions would be, England and its various kingdoms. Scandinavian invaders and colonies, sweeden, Norway, Denmark. Welsh. Various Irish kingdoms.

Basically I want age of Charlemagne on a grand scale, or the Viking conquest module for mount and blade as a total war game.

>>153781774
isn't Empire just larger scale Age of Empires?

>>153781798
>armies would be all about sheid walls clashing

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>153782040
I like the slower combat, lines of men ready to clash whilst your other forces have to work round the flanks.

Cav was mainly composed of ponies that are not able to smash through lines of units, skirmish cav was still popular.

Plus there are still huscarls and huge two handed weapons, it is just that 90% of infantry are shielded and the strength of your shield wall determined your victory.

Hey, sorry if this has been answered already but I couldn't find it online anywhere.

I've defeated the chaos shits in a previous campaign and got a message saying they were gone and the chaos debuff vanished. This time I killed them but I just got a generic 'faction destroyed' message and the chaos debuff is still there. Bug or are they coming back or do I need to push back the Varg too?

Are Grave Guards considered Skeletal or not?

Debuff is the +2 to chaos. I think that's as high as it goes

Nevermind. The Warherd needed culling before the debuff went away. Thanks for the responses

I'm surprised people are okay with Vlad being in the game considering he has a wooden stake for a chest these days

Fuck me.

Vampire Counts should tide you over.

Always warms my heart when people actually check it out.

Time to sent in the beast once there released.

Really not feeling the new empire units tbqh.

>>153794227
We all were begging CA to give us the Vlad like the dirty little whores we know we are.

Anything is possible in the Warhammer universe. In this case, it was salvation.

>>153797667
No one cares.

>>153798806
Say that to my face and not in sylvania see what happens

What's the point of Hexwraiths and Cairn Wraiths?

How should I use them and when?

>>153797667
flagellants are awful, but free company add a useful role in campaign. It's nice to have a flexible range/melee unit recruitable from T1, and it does sneaky gorilla warfare.

Knights of the Blazing Sun are a meme and obnoxiously replace reiksguard.

I like Volkmar but Valten is far superior choice

>>153799592
valtens a cucked dweebo desu

>>153799592
well valten is more powerful but volkmar is definitely more interesting. plus you get a wider range of abilities with volkmar.

>azhag can't even take a level 1 ork warboss 1 on 1
wew lads

>>153799592
Valten is canon Archaon's husbando, therefore all chaos shits are gay.

>>153797667
Free Company spits in your face.

Soon.

So Vlad's vanguard deployment is almost completely useless.

99% of the battle maps don't let you deploy behind or even to the side of the enemy deployment.

>>153803654
it stops you from having to march your slow undead up into their faces

>>153803654
Yeah, except for closing the distance with your all-melee army and making any artillery or skirmishers the enemy brings a liability, it has no real use. I mean, they only give you a free flank attack SOMETIMES. You should just choose Kemmler.

To rule the Empire, you must first save the Empire.

Which Path should I take for Brets?

Shitposting won't make you the True Von Carstein, Mannlet.

>>153799335
Flagellants make either a good hammer and also a pretty effective tar pit. They're getting as many kills as my honest steel swordmen in most battle

>>153791141
>Persians

Nah. Babylonians are very much not Persian

>Vlad pissing out hot steamy experience all over his bros

I LOVE VLAD!

>>153804559
The bonus experience buildings mean fuck all if you have Vlad, it's fantastic.

>>153804125
i usually rush sacred sites and bastion against evil to negate the effects of the chaos invasions and also prioritizing upgrades for knights

>>153804559
I feel like they will severely nerf the xp amount he gives.

Why does Mannlet hate Vlad

Does Vlad hate Mannlet back
