It looks like a cage carrying a pet squig. Not sure what exactly it is for but is probably related to Wurrzag's shaman role.

Yup, it's very difficult. You can't really build much of an army, let a lone a second one with the shitty 50% upkeep - and zerging Karak Eight Peaks right off the bat is a pretty shit idea too as you're shitty undefended tier 1 or 2 settlements stand no chance against the endless fucking doomstacks they send on me.

Got 2 rebellions as well cause the public order just goes down the shitter, this is fucking ridiculous.

And as usual the other dwarf factions like Karak Norn, Karak Izor, and also the human factions are completely useless.

There is probably a strategy out there to deal with all this shit but I'm at my wits end here... might have to do some restarts.

Only like 10 trees. I know dwarves are short, but come on CA you could have made it more believable

>>157942748
So far nasty skulkers are great especially with their debuffs and armor piercing, night goblin squig hoppers are useless because the ones without riders do a lot more damage, night goblin fanactics are now a casted ability so you can tell them where to go. Aside from the wolf chariots all their regiments of renown are god tier for greenskins.

For the dwarfs runelord buffs stack with buffs from the heroes so have fun making units invincible killing machines. Rangers are alright I guess, seem quite pointless. Bolt throwers are terrible, stick to grudge throwers and organ guns as per usual. Their regiments of renown are all really good.

+9 attack for rank 3 iirc is ridiculous

Weapon damage (or whatever that's called, where you get a % buff) is where the good shit is

>>157947450
Movement speed and buffs for troops that you don't use much or that don't need it.

>>157947608
u fukn wot? Melee atk/def is super useful if it isn't for a character that already has a good stat. Remember, you want your value to exceed the enemy value, but not by too much.

Does anyone know if the stupid awaken chaos tribes thing works now? The way they've redone the faction select menu has that feature as their number 1 special chaos thing but in all campaigns so far it's always a retarded waste of time.

>>157947450
Reinforcement range, easy. Most of the time I don't field armies in the same region unless they're riding each other's asses.
Melee attack/defense is helpful, but it's not the best thing to spec into since it doesn't give as much attack power/survivability as other stats.

Maybe this was a mistake.

>>157947817
You only think that because you don't know how atk/def works. A 15% damage buff is worse than a +9 atk if that atk improves you hit rate by more than 15%. For low atk characters this will almost always be the case when they're fighting something with some actual defense (i.e. not trash units). Obviously both is best though.

>>157947828
Melee attack/def is not worth the 3 points you need to get the weak +9

Melee oriented lords already have good enough attack/defense, it's better to focus on the shit that'll make them last longer in melee or weapon dammage
With the other "weak" lords you should not bother with that stat, focus on the support role they're supposed to fulfill

>>157948143
There's enough points for more than one thing you know... It's mindlessly filling one color that's bad.

>>157948143
It depends on the lord. Gorebulls benefit so much from increasing melee defense. But as you state, gain essentially nothing from melee attack.

>>157947075

No the fuck they aren't. On lords leadership and aura size are by far the best stats you can get as well as army wide weapon strenght buffs. Blue campaign shit is beyond useless. If corruption is getting you down kill the source of build anti corruption buidings etc.

Anti corruption is shit for lords, but very nice for map heroes. It's also usually beneficial to boost the weak stat of def/atk on a lord, it makes them much better duelists. You also talk like you have to choose, but there's plenty of points for several skills. And while blue skills are situational, don't knock it 'till you've tried it, some are useful. The best lords have a few maxed skills in each color anyway.

>armor
Most characters that get +armor already have decent armor. Which means they already take very low damage from units without armor piercing. On top of that, +armor is completely ignored by armor piercing damage.

+Melee Defense gives a higher chance to take straight no damage from an attack. + melee defense works against Armor piercing damage.

Oh right, and this helps against lords who deal hundreds of damage with a single attack.

And yes, that +9 melee defense can mean upwards of 25% higher chance to dodge an attack.

>>157950613
https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/4m9sdw/how_melee_attack_and_defense_armor_and_damage/

>When your Melee attack/defence is close to your enemies Melee attack/defence small differences are very valuable. But quickly loses value as you ‘overstack’ (so consider who you units will engage and build based on that)

So if you went from having 35 MA to their 40 MD, to having 44 MA to 40 MD, you can go from roughly 40% chance to hit to somewhere near 60% chance to hit.

>>157951034
Always in stealth, the range is roughly the same as the distance a archer unit can fire.

Basically just have them on either flank with spear units in the centre waiting for the enemy to engage then wrap around and destroy the enemy.

>>157951034
Stealth applies at all times I think, and detection range depends on the unit spotting. I mostly use them to deploy really close and then rush in anyway, so it doesn't get much use for me at least.

Funny considering I can't imagine any grown adult using the word "babby". Seriously are you still in primary school or something?

Oh boo hoo, you don't get to get things for free! Charging money for things that cost money to make isn't a shitty practice. The Chaos Warriors DLC? That was an example of shitty business practices. The rest? Not exactly, you just don't want to spend money because you're a whiny bitch.

>The game without any DLC offers a grand total of 5 factions. A grand total of fucking 5 factions
Maybe because the factions aren't copy and pastes? But oh, since you are clearly an expert in game development I'm sure you'd be willing to tell me the difference in resources between making a single TWW faction and the dozen reskins from previous games.

> One of them being Bretonnia, which has like 10 units in total, so make that 4 because calling Bretonnia a real faction would be an insult to the other factions
Again, I don't think you're a very intellegent person. But to put it plainly "quantity doesn't equal quality". Do they teach that term in whatever cesspit you were born in? Since you don't seem to be able to grasp that concept very well.

To simplify it. Just because you have 4 apples, doesn't necessarily mean yours is better than my one apple. After-all your rotten worm infested ones are not better just because you own more of them. Is that easy enough for you to understand?

>>157952820
True, however using that as a generalization for anyone who purchased the Warhammer title is frankly retarded.

There are just as many people who were introduced to Warhammer through this title, as there were those who first found out about Total War. I know plenty who don't give a shit about Warhammer and just wanted to play a fantasy war game (probably the same people who keep asking for a Warcraft TW too).

The "you probably haven't even played the previous games" line of argument is also always a dumb one to resort to. Just because that doesn't actually have any meaning to it in most contexts.

>>157953187
Right so since they want fantasy war they won't really be trying >boring historical war titles that much hence it's basically the same.
I don't actually know what you're arguing about (DLC?), I'm just pointing out that this is a release where "do you actually know anything about previous games" is a more-legitimate-than-usual concern.

Just because you know nothing of history (as expected of a warhammer fantasy babby shitter (I used babby again did I trigger you)) doesn't mean factions are 'copy pasted'. See, this is why not playing previous games makes you a fucktard and why it matters in TW. If you'd serve 5 factions in a previous historical TW CA'd get fucking murdered but ever since you Warhammer bandwagonning babbies flocked to TW you made it look normal because you love to spend literally hundreds of euros on little plastic toy figurines that have no real value. You're almost as bad as anime shitters. Even your memes are shit tier with WARRRGGHGHH XDDD ORK BOYZ XDDD straight out of fucking reddit.

Never understood buying miniatures honestly. I never played WH but when playing something like DnD homebrews I just kind of made do with a bunch of reuseable clay I modelled roughly before each session.

Its no boogyman, /twg/ has completely changed because of cunts like you who bend over for shitty practices.

I've almost certainly been here longer than you have. Every other board except /a/ is literally a containment board. There was only one board in the beginning, and it was an anime board. /b/ allowed for 'random' posting with anime posting as the norm while /a/ was purely for "general" anime. Basically, fucking deal with it.

It's their own fault for not being better at stopping orc blades with their bones

Kill yourself pedophile. You're literally mentally ill. You can be smug here all you want but in reality you're not allowed to go outside because you'll get ridiculed like the mentally handicapped little bitch that you are.

Yeah, no, I'm not mentally challenged like you idiots.

Anime was a mistake

Part of Warhammer is the hobby element, there are a lot of people who care more about collecting, painting, and modeling the miniatures more than actually playing the game.

While the games themselves are a reason to get certain models, a lot of people still buy some of them just because they really like the look of it. For example, in 40k the Warp Talon units are garbage and nobody would field them, but people still buy them because they are cool looking models (and you can convert other minis with them).

GW doesn't allow the use of "proxies" in their stores and you aren't allowed to hold official tournaments with proxy miniatures either.
GW are jews.

So any reason in particular why all the "lol Fantasy shitters" posters have cropped up all of a sudden?

Does this happen with every DLC release? I'm assuming it is because most people are actually playing the game, and they are just crawling out of the woodwork.

>you can be smug here all you want
Yes, I can. Who I am in real life isn't relevant. I could be a big titted girl sucking off her little brother or I could be an abnormally intelligent octopus or I could be a 500kg living lardball or I could be a god walking the earth or all of the above at once and it wouldn't matter. Insulting who your opponent is in real life when posting on an anonymous imageboard is a desperate attempt to assert dominance over a single post number.

>>157954348
Okay.

>warhammer shitters will buy useless shit just because it looks pretty
