ok guys i gotta know, does anybody know how the battle site markers work, it seems completely random to me i always try to set one up at the beginning of my vamp campaigns but it is super frustrating to figure out how to consistently leave a battle site behind

There are literally two different human faction types though. They really blew it not giving kislev, border princes, tilea and estalia their own unique looks.

And the human on human combat is MUCH better in previous titles.

>>154520674

I think it's pretty fun.

The combat can feel a bit wonky compared to Attila.

Naval combat is the best in the series (especially crucial if you play Wrath of Sparta).

Athel Loren functions like the Americas or India from Empire and expands into it's own sub-map. Featuring 12 provinces, representing all of the High Realms.
Wood Elves will play like a regular settled faction, competing and confederating initially against other Wood Elf High Realms, Beastmen and Orc tribes and evil forest spirits.
Wood Elves have a special movement system, Worldroots, which allow them to travel vast distances across the map uninhibited.
A "corruption" system grants greater regeneration, ambush success chance, campaign movement and leadership but causes no attrition to non-Wood Elf races.
All of their units can vanguard deploy.
Orion and the Sisters of Twilight will be their Legendary Lords.
Like the Beastmen, Wood Elf armies always move in an ambush stance.
The mini-campaign will take place on the same sub-map, but will take place just before Orion is crowned and will see you fending off Dwarfs and Orcs.

None of the ripped textures look in place. They clash with the higher quality existing models and there's something off about the gloss too. It's like they directly ripped models from M&B and stuck it on the models without modifying anything. It's low effort and it shows.

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.

In general they seem to proscribe to the armor fetishist kind of philosophy of heavy armor for everyone.

You could/did have armored bowmen but looking at their rosters it seems like a lot of units go over the top in armor or overall there's too much armor among all the units.

And the other anon's complaint about just directly porting stuff without adjusting the gloss/specular maps. That being said if it's fun then the poorer aesthetics aren't as big of a concern - Medieval 2 had some units that looked amazing (norman knights, some of the late medieval stuff like the gothics) and a lot of units that looked G O D A W F U L even for a 2006 game. Like the saracen militias or feudal knights.

It's modified. It's supposed to fit snugly because there's no "body" under the armor, so if you want to have two layers of armor you will have to slightly make the outer layer bigger.

No no I am saying medieval 2 as a 2006 game had units that looked good and units that looked awful. Most total wars with a large variety seem to as they must share the responsibility with various texturers or use assets from earlier work and later work.

http://m2tw.warlore.org/units/Armored_Sergeants
http://m2tw.warlore.org/units/Azabs
http://m2tw.warlore.org/units/Crossbow_Militia
http://m2tw.warlore.org/units/Italian_Spear_Militia
http://m2tw.warlore.org/units/ME_Levy_Spearmen

looked awful, but
http://m2tw.warlore.org/units/Norman_Knights

or yours looked good.

Likewise in Rome 2 you have the standard linothorax whose resolution, while enlarged as a total image, for the individual linothroaxes was literally at a Rome 1 level - as in a Rome 1 body armor texture was the same resolution as the linothorax. Then you had ones with 1024x1024 resolution which is common modern day games tier high quality for a texture.

Every Vampire except Vlad seems to be a total dick, and even then Vlad is just slightly less of a dick

Abhorash was pretty chill and a total Bro when he wanted too, refusing to kill innocents, very dedicated at protecting his lands and people, trying and unfortunately failing to teach the early vamps restraint, killing a dragon to rid himself of the thirst. I rally hope he gets added, it's a shame we got literal whos like ghorst and autists like mannlet when this guy is around (bit of a hermit though but he did help in the end times)

manny my fucking nigga

Is there a mod that keeps the original province colours for the Empire troops?
I want units from different provinces to have their own uniform.

>>154540973

Is http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=742323834&searchtext=state+troops something like what you're looking for?

>>154514745
It leaves a battle marker if
>both sides have at least 14 units each
>there's a considerable number of deaths
>no garrisons allowed (not sure about this last one)

getting a master necromancer with 20 units of zombies, and sending him to any enemy is a sure way to spawn a marker

>>154541206

Do they keep the original province colours even if you own the region as the Empire?

>>154541367

That's an interesting question. I don't think they do, but I don't think that's possible.

I've only looked into the database tables a little and the unit coloring seems tied to the faction that recruits them as far as I can see, not to the province they're recruited from.

I don't think what you're describing works, sadly.

>>154541464

Well that's sad, It would be really interesting to have units from different provinces.

>>154541367
>Do they keep the original province colours
Yes, but it will conflict with any mod that edits the startpos file (faction unlockers, for example)

>>154534453
It's pretty much just a personality thing. Plus it doesn't help most humans they run across end up hating or wanting to kill them.

Also having to drink blood in order to survive probably fucks with your view point on things like the value of human life.

Skaven's chronic backstabbing and clawing to the top, only to be betrayed by their second-in-command, is funny because they are filthy overreaching ratmen that provide a dark parody of mankind's worst traits.

Dark Elves are supposed to be part of a wise elder race though, so their constantly falling on banana peels their subordinates left them is pretty retarded.

Fuck off soldat

>>154544664
Also them going from smug yet noble and heroic to "must enslave rape and kill everything i set my eyes on even myself" because an autist thought he lost his throne is pretty dumb. Having said autist being right all along and him and his race being accepted even if it was during the end times was even dumber considering the only thing that set them apart from norscans/other chaos people until that point was that they didnt "openly" worshipping the gods

Do woodfags have any really good beefy melee elfs? Or is that all monsters and trees and shit?

I just don't recall seeing any heavily armored elves.

Well they're definitely not standard.

>>154547250
Eternal Guard are pretty heavily armored, but not dwarf/chaos level ofc.

Dryads (mini treemen) and Treemen (big mclarge huge) are their monsters. Maybe eagles as well if I remember correctly

>>154547353

No of course not, but it would be weird if elves walked around like small fortresses. Thanks for the info Anon.

>>154547250
They have armored units like Eternal Guard but they usually prefer to fight from afar and finish off any remaing enemies with cavalry charges and treemonsters. I wonder how they will implement such a ranged heavy faction and if they will be better than quarellers and other units

Why do people want realistic and scientific explenations in a fantasy game? I mean sure the armor has retarded spikes and the tank has wooden wheels, but this is a universe with dragons who shouldnt be able to fly, living dead, actual ghosts and demonsm, rotten flesh walking/flying/whatever, walking and talking funguses and rats, and a species with 1 female for 10 males who can still field sizeable armies. Sometimes you gotta turn your brain off man.

So in a universe that pic related exists you are bothered by oversized swords and weird armor?

It's not a fucking sword, it's a metal paddle shaped like a sword. It's a fucking bludgeoning weapon. You can make up a good fantasy universe with magic if it's presented in a well thought out, believable manner. Using magic as a deus ex machina for everything is incredibly lazy.

I dont understand why you are so buttblasted, warhammer magic and the setting in general is pretty believable all things considered, especially compared to,say, warcraft or the 40k version. Also I dont think there are weeb style oversized swords, for a fantasy setting they are pretty reasonable

As someone who has never played TW Warhammer please tell me they don't have those dumb fucking fantasy empire space marines in the game.

What the fuck is the point of free company? They're direct fire gunpowder troops that do almost as much damage as goblin archers with less range, no AP and much worse melee stats than swordsmen. I don't know why you would use these to flank over say a another unit of swordsmen or even just crossbowmen.

>>154548513
It's not about it being oversized. Superhuman strength and magic is fine and all, but the fucking thing is an inch thick or more. You can't call that a sword. It defies logic. Might as well stick a dildo on a hilt and call it a deadly sword.

>>154548493

its a shame the game is so limited, I only have like 30 hours in it, and I am already done

Is the AI incapable of playing well against the greenskins?

I am doing my dwarf campaign and I'm pushing them hard, taking settlement after settlement, but I swear the teal dwarfs haven't even touched the northrend greenskins yet, and the river prince's towns fall by the shitloads.

I swear it feels like I'm the only one fighting these bastards.

>>154550187
In my experience it's randomly really bad or really good. I suspect it's related to how the first turns play out with waahgs and confederations.

>>154550187
It seems to vary a lot. In my empire game all the dorfs got their shit kicked by greenskins so hard that they were gone before chaos arrived, leaving me to clean up edless green stacks. In my VC campaign they somehow managed to confederate early and destroyed the greenskins and the rest of the orcs. Then declared war on me for no reason even though we had a trade agreement and non-aggression pact going, and refused to make peace even after i burned a lot of their cities and sent them from no.2 to no.12 in power ranking and had several other factions declare war on them as well

>>154550187

Teal dwarfs always suduko themselves onto Karak Eight Peaks then get their shit pushed in by Crooked Moons

>>>/wsg/1295860

>>154550313

Yeah maybe I've not given them proper support or something, but the entire western region is now pretty much flooded with green. All my hard work in the south over the last 20 turns have essentially been undone because I was stupid enough to think the princes could at least hold their fucking own.

They got a WAAAGH off early which is probably what's costing me so dearly now though. Ugh.

>>154550332

Maybe it's not that the AI doesn't know how to fight greenskins, just not know how to fight dwarfs? As mentioned I'm pushing hard to keep them in check, but it sucks because even the princes to my west seem to be more focused on jerking off than fighting.

Do the princess go to war with the empire, or something?

>>154550427

That might be the problem, but I swear they have never made even a fraction of a dent on the northmost orc packs.

I'm starting to think the AI just doesn't understand how to turtle-dwarf.

can someone explain what does it mean if the leader of another faction is my heir? will i lose the game if my king croaks?

the deep thinking goblin sits there, in the back of your head. It sometimes call out on you, gives you a drive, changes your mood.

The deep thinking goblin sometimes comes out when I make a post that is not up to par. It tells me "no, this isnt right". And then the deep thinking goblin comes out with vidya, or tv series and tells me "no, this is boring, do something else"

and then there is nothing that can change that.

The deep thinking goblin even goes further, when you look at a QT girl, and the deep thinking goblin goes like "is she wearing piercings? Are those tattoo's? What the fuck is she eating? Does she look like she is pretty dumb and/or a consumer whore?" And then no matter what, without the deep thinking goblins approval. Nothing works anymore.

The deep thinking goblin forces you to give a cringeworthy smile, to a marketer, work employee or some other person that EVERYONE likes, because the deep thinking goblin tells you that what that person is and does, its shit.

The deep thinking goblin goes out into the city, sees all the shitskins, niggers, fat people, and other assortments of degenerate retards and tells you "when they smile at you, give them the meanest look you can muster, because they are shit."

and still, this deep thinking goblin is like a god.

I was fighting the Moors when Portugal went full retard and decided to siege my capital. I had the King's army nearby so I crushed them and siege their capital.
And now the fucking Pope sends me a letter, ''No more fighting or excommunication'', when I'm about to crush them.

My question is, if I leave them be, will they stop fighting too? What if they attack me? Will I fail the mission and get kicked out of Christianity?

Warhammer was the worse thing to ever happen to Total War. No one discusses history or gameplay mechanics anymore.

Plus the game is major shit.

I want to play Attila again but i'm not done with my Chaos campaign. HELP!

Don't you have "waifus" to post about or something.

>>154566808

Do you actually think that spamming poorly composed screenshots with no context constitutes good content?

>>154566954
Yup. Better than talking about waifus, I suppose. We could talk about tactics, but that is obviously beyong the capabilities of people who keep posting about qt's.

>>154566954
Well, clearly it is good content because a superior history fag is posting it and therefore it is automatically great content.

Instead of irrelevant screen dumps because "Stop liking what I don't like!"

(Hint: History fag, it's not waifuposting when what they're actually saying is that they can't wait for a certain faction to be added to the game, just using examples of characters from or that fit that particular race in WHFB)

>>154567272
On the tactics/strategy note - Does anyone have a decent strategy for winkling the Dwarves out of the Badlands as the Vampire Counts?

Inability to spread my corruption there to any great degree is making it a major pain in the balls, especially as I play with a mod that allows the AI to recolonise more often, so expeditions to raze settlements in stages doesn't actually work because they're resettled before I can make another push.

>>154567272
Yep, we have a history faggot in our midst. Just laugh at him guys.

And in the mean time they get away with not talking about the game, not posting about the game and not talking about the series. Great. Awesome.

I can't wait for my waifu the 12 lb cannon, she really packs a punch. Specially when I add 3 other 12 lb waifus.

>>154567442
Here's what I did:
>Recruit ~8 Vampiresses, due to starting skill points, give them the +Corruption abilities
>Keep them hanging out in one of the middle provinces, to provide a safe buffer zone
>Send them to sabotage buildings for easy XP, drop points in "heal" and sabotage buildings to make your life easier
>Send battered armies in the vampire'd province, set stance to channeling for a minor replenish, embed vampiresses for faster healing

Shitty tactic, and I'm sure some trve understander will point out a better one

Also, with the amount of potential wars that have been going on there, there should be plenty of markers for you to re-recruit units

>>154567781
Figured that's something like what I'd have to do. Well, this is going to take a while.

Fantasyfags really ruined /twg/

The Pope made me and france stop killing each other and now I've got no money. I'm at a loss as to what to do.

I suppose I should decommission a few units, apparently that's a thing you can do.

You know what, in fact, fuck the pope. I want to kill the pope. I want to march an army to italy and kill the pope.

Can I kill the pope? Please say I can. Christianity is a spook, I want England to return to its pagan ways.

Send an agent to do it instead, and join the big bois club

Tried modding campaign AI a bit, boosting their economy bonuses slightly, but restricting them to military structures only, and additionally making them more eager to colonize. Hoping for good strong armies and interesting narratives of minor factions coming to prominence (as far as they can in a game with such a strict Major/Minor faction division)
As usual, sat as Chaos up in the wastes and used agents to explore and watch
Skaeling ate Varg early, and turned into the worst motherfuckers I've ever seen. Razed everything north of Wurtbad. Very gradually they got pushed back, but man... they completely flattened a bunch of factions in the process. Really need to figure out a "Norscan Solution" to prevent a bunch of barely dressed idiots from destroying so much of civilization.
Here's the rankings at turn 101. Those western dwarfs seemed to benefit greatly from the violence to the north, every now and then they'd declare war on a human faction, sally out of their hillside retreats, bust up a settlement or two, then run back.
Greenskins took a long time to get to where they are here, they were on about 12 settlements at turn 60. I think they benefited from Dwarfs being unsuccessful in confederating any of the smaller eastern dwarf factions early on, they eventually got them though but probably too late: Zhufbar at turn 70, Karak Azul at turn 75, Karak Kadrin at turn 94

>>154569271
Neat. Is it possible to just split up the two dominant norscan factions?
