Huge news guys, just got home from my mum, who works at Games Assembly. Bretonnia will be the next promotional content, and will launch at the same time as Creative Workshop debuting a new set of Bretonnia miniatures, rulebooks, lore, lexicon, codex.

but how much do you mean by a bunch, and how are you going to distribute them?

ok so;
Slingers - Good vs other ranged units
Javelinmen - Good vs heavily armoured units
Archers - Good vs ???

>>158913862
I'm gonna grab as many as I got votes in that strawpoll. I hadnt thought of how to distribute them. Maybe you guys could all put your emails on a list somewhere, and I'll send them out?

>>158914416
It's always been infantry anon.

Archers beat infantry, cavalry beat archers, infantry beat cavalry, and so on

>>158914416
Archers are slingers that deal more base damage in exchange for less AP.
So horses, and all other units that have lot of health but little armor.

>>158914832
sounds like a good idea, whats a good way to make a list for people to put their emails down?

>>158914416
Archers have whistling/flame shot, that do a lot of morale damage. Assuming we're talking about Attilla.

>>158915249

It is now October. The sallow season deepens its hold on Athel Loren. It is a dark time, a time of mourning. As the spites and spirits of the forest grow slothful and recalcitrant, the enemies of the Asrai seek to defile the sacred glades. Ratposting is rampant. The Deep Thinking Goblin looms, esoteric and obscene. Athel Loren is a realm under siege. The King of the Woods cannot be found; the kinbands are scattered and given over to dissolute indulgence, pursuing until the last comfort over exertion.

Yet it is comfort itself that is imperiled; Should the Asrai fade from the Old World the beauty of their existence, a recordless history of leisure and frivolity without equal, will disappear, leaving the clamoring, scrabbling bustle of the outside world without counterpoint or enlightening example. It is a dark time. But even in the deep gloom of autumn, a hope flickers. A whisper on the winds, melodious like the clinking of tea cups on saucers.

Wood Elves soon.

>>158914416
archers fuk up other ranged units - they outrange pebble throwers/javelin throwers, and they also fire in an arc so you can safely keep them behind your battle line without friendly fire risk

unless its med 2 where they fuk up errywan

>>158918441

Archers shred everything.
Cavalry tramples everything.
Infantry's just a meatshield.

Thanks for reminding me why I love Med 2.

What should my early game army be as Macedon in R2? Right now I have a bunch of levy pikes with some hoplites, two slingers, two javs, and horseys.

Skarsnik is coming for yo bitch.

>>158914416
Think of it this way
>Slingers
submachine guns - quick to fire, but lacks penetration and accuracy
>Javelins
Anti-tank rockets - devastating, but lacks ammunition
>Archers
Rifles - good all around can be used in any situation. good at a bunch of task but not really a master of them
>Crossbows
Battlerifles - like bows, but more stopping power but longer reload rates. better against armor. Can still arc their fire but they have a flatter arc.
In my general use, slingers would be up front skirmishing. looking for their skirmishers. If not then they'd flank and shoot from the rear/sides
Javelins would always flank and try to hit their elites from the side/rear preferably avoiding my own elites.
Archers would be situational but they would start skirmishing upfront and retreat behind the main line and keep firing or using arrow types against specialized foes.
Crossbows would be at the flanks behind my main line, and then would flank once the threat of enemy skirmishers was eliminated.

Couldn't find an answer using google so I figured id ask here. Is it worth getting the "Ruination" perk on multiple armies? Does the effect stack if multiple armies attack the same holdout? Or does it only count for the army that's actually selected to attack it?

Just a choice for emblem and insignia for the flag-bearer and a choice in color scheme would be great for unit variety. Give them a personal history so you know what battles and places a unit has been.

Fuck, I remember playing ETW back in the day and wiping out a massive French army and having like two line inf regiments left with only a few guys left in each.

I had to tortuously march my men across the map under fire the whole time only for the timer to run out just before I got into firing range.

tldr: how i learn to play without fucking battle timers.

It is now Halloween. The twin luminescence of Morrslieb and Mannslieb cast a soft glow upon Athel Loren. The veil between realities becomes tenuous; the sprites and spites of the forest frolic with malicious delight. In the glades of the Asrai, the devotees of Loec commit mischiefs and trickeries in their patron's name. At great masked revels, debauchery carries on deep into the night in the absolving anonymity of the evening. The cherubic young boys of Bretonnia, the cream of their generation, are winnowed this night through the rigors of the festivities. More will be obtained in the coming months.

The air is electrified with the malice of the moment; the Asrai come closest to their Druchii cousins in the depths of Halloween's festive excesses. But it is a feverish energy, for change is foretold. Naieth the Prophetess warns of great sorcery being wrought in rain-cursed Albion that threatens to thrust the Asrai to the fore of the outside world's unsightly struggles and toil. The merry idyll of the wood nears its end.

Wood Elves Soon.

Why do I love Skarsnik so much?
It's pretty simple when I iz finkin' 'bout it.
Skarsnik izn't just da best character in da War'ammer world, 'ee might just be da greenest character of all time.
Just imaging 'im riding fru da halls of Karak Eight-Peaks, da wind in 'is 'at, 'is mighty Gobbla below 'im.
As 'ee rides fru da World's Edge Mountains, da Stunties soil demselves at 'is very scent.
Dey knows 'ow 'ee smells, da essence of 'is smell iz in da Stunties Book of Grudges unda da name of "Skarsnik Fungusm"
Da very nature of Skarsnik iz mystery.
Could 'ee be playin' a deepa game den even Gork and Mork realizes?
Da answer iz yes, 'ee 'as transcended such boundaries as da written world, and 'as free will to do woteva 'ee seez fit.
'owever, Skarsnik iz filled wiff such cunnin', such morky craft dat 'ee does not even use deese powers.
Why, you might ask? You will neva know, for da mind of Skarsnik iz not one dat iz easily penetrated.
Skarsnik iz such a force of Mork in 'is realm dat nofink can truly touch 'im, da only fink keeping 'im bound to da page at all iz 'is will to exist wiffin da preordained boundaries of 'is world.
Skarsnik iz not only beyond da compre'enssiun of us, 'ee exists wiffin a plane of true gorkiness and morkiness.
Observe 'is playful smile, 'is gorgious and rippling Gobbla, 'is gallant nose, and most importantly, 'is eyes.
'is eyes, like pools of shinies, provide da only glimpse into da true maschinassiuns of Skarsnik. Do not stare into dem. Many good boyz 'ave gone dead in da attempt.
Skarsnik iz not just a character, a formless collectiun of words and images, 'ee 'imself iz da binding dat 'olds da Warhammer world togeva.
Wiffout Skarsnik, da entire War'ammer world, da entire Games Workshop as we knows it crumbles.
No Stunties or Ratboys would be stomped wiffout Skarsnik and Karak Eight-Peaks would become a desolate crater wiffout 'is iron fist.
Deese are just of a few of da reasons why I like Skarsnik so much.

http://pastebin.com/8rnyAa1S

>>158939983
actually, Ungors and other hornless shitters are the overwhelming majority of the beastherd

>>158940316
We've had confirmation that "all sixteen factions" will make it in to the finished product, which can only mean the fifteen core army books plus the Forgeworld Chaos Dwarf supplement.

>>158939586

>Someone who reads up on shit and doesn't embellish absolutely fucking everything in an attempt to be "clever" and """funny""" making lore videos

Good.

>>158940431
I know and have. I mean more for the people who either can't find them or would rather listen to a summery video than go through days worth of reading.

>>158940373
I wasn't saying Arch was a good source, I was saying hes a bad one. Seriously I have no idea how hes able to to make over half of all his videos pointless but he some how found away.

>>158940512
I know and I want to believe that and what the leak said. But until a official announcement is made I'm going to stay cautious just in case.

Got my physical copy, now to download this shit, won't bother with the discs.

I'm gonna buy the blood dlc and the dlc that motherfucking should have been in the fucking game in the first place, not a preorder bonus. This infuriates me. God, I feel like such a cuck, fucking merchant.

>>158940831
No, i'm not referring to the leak. There was confirmation from CA around release that they were going to add all sixteen factions.

>>158940909

For all it's worth. The blood and gore is p good in this game. Still jewery that you have to pay for it, but it's not just ketchup bottles being added to weapons.

>>158940915
OH, OH shit!

Well fuck me then that's great to hear. Now it's just the waiting game until they can get released.

>>158940982

Good to hear. I'm more pissed about the preorder dlc.
I'm also pissed that there isn't a cheaper way to buy all dlc, like a season pass. That is just high level jewery.

>>158941237

I'm sure that some dlc will go on sale soon, beastmen is a contender when the neet elves get released.

But yeah, it's pretty jewwy, and I've fallen for it since day one by Buying the High King edition

>>158940915
They said that they where hoping to include all the factions. Not sure if they ever outright confirmed it.

>>158940479
>Gors form the great mass of the warherds. Their appearance varies, but all combine bestial features with those of a man. The base form of the Beastmen, and that possessed by the vast majority of the Gars, is the head and legs of a goat and the upper torso of a man, albeit a particularly hairy and malodorous one.

7th edition Beastmemes armybook- where it also mentions Ungors are outcasts on the fringe of the warherd, rather than any majority within it. Many Ungors are just rejected humans rather than beastmen proper.

>>158941472

They said they wanted to add all 16 factions before they mentioned that Warhammer is doing much better then expected and said they're releasing more stuff. Can't find the source now but I'm pretty sure they mentioned it somewhere.

>>158941486
Ungors have cloven hooves, marking them as true beastmen. However, mutant humans bearing similar features often coexist with the Ungors for survival

>>158941237

>Season passes aren't high level jewery

C'mon son.

Cucking as in forcing them into submission
Ptolemaic as in The Ptolemaic Kingdom (/ˌtɒləˈmeJ.Jk/; Ancient Greek: Πτολεμαϊkὴ βασιλεία, Ptolemaïkḕ Basileía)[3] was a Hellenistic kingdom based in Egypt. It was ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty which started with Ptolemy I Soter's accession after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and which ended with the death of Cleopatra VII and the Roman conquest in 30 BC.

The Ptolemaic Kingdom was founded in 305 BC by Ptolemy I Soter, who declared himself Pharaoh of Egypt and created a powerful Hellenistic dynasty that ruled an area stretching from southern Syria to Cyrene and south to Nubia. Alexandria became the capital city and a major center of Greek culture and trade. To gain recognition by the native Egyptian populace, they named themselves the successors to the Pharaohs. The later Ptolemies took on Egyptian traditions by marrying their siblings, had themselves portrayed on public monuments in Egyptian style and dress, and participated in Egyptian religious life. The Ptolemies had to fight native rebellions and were involved in foreign and civil wars that led to the decline of the kingdom and its final annexation by Rome.

>it's an "endlessly chasing a pair of tilean stacks around sylvania because for some reason the AI gets movement range bonuses on higher difficulties" campaign again

What did CA mean by this?

>>158942415

Agents or ambush stance, it still sucks that quick march is what it is currently.

They really should have a chance that you can intercept a quick marching army within like 150% of your reinforcement radious so that they can't zip past you that easily.

So what's the best anti-large unit in the game?

>>158942415

When Tilea is marching around Sylvania in my games it usually means they've eaten the half the Empire/Estalia/Border Princes and Bretonnia.

>>158942725

Depends heavily on exactly what large enemy we're talking about.

>>158942204
>Sosibios Sosibiou

>>158943246

Against beastmen, especially minotaurs you'll usually want massed projectiles, almost everything they have melts to crossbow/archer fire.

Demigryphs with lances are also real good, though they obviously get less good if it's greatweapon minotaurs.

KÖNNE KEINE DEUTSCH, BITTE NICHT ERSCHIESSEN!

Hey /twg/, I've just started playing Warhammer Total war, and I was wondering, how do you convince other factions to confederate with you?

As the empire playing on hard I have 5 full provinces and stirland only has one province. They also have the underdog trait, and we have a military alliance + access + trade, so why won't they accept confederation (even with a 20000 coin bribe)?

Why won't anyone accept confederation no matter how large the bribe?

>>158946974
Best HoMM

>>158947439
Why doesn't Belgium simply confederate with France when asked?

It takes fairly exceptional circumstances for one nation to choose to disappear.

>>158947608
Ok, better question, what scale of bribes, or what circumstances lead to confederation being possible?

Do I have to wait for chaos to show up? How come most guides recommend early and often confederations if it is so rare?

>>158947439
There is a high chance of confederation if the faction you are asking feels threatened by another race(or culture in rome 2).

>>158947439
You need to be decently above them in strength rank and they have to like you a lot (100++). They also have to feel somewhat threatened by someone.

>>158947671
Extermination. Either they're under threat of being killed by foreign foes, or you're strong enough to make them think that it's not worth standing against you. If you want to do it nicely, just keep giving them gifts with no strings attached. Once you get them to +300ish reputation they should be open to the idea of peacefully confederating.

>>158947683
Has confederation been made more difficult since release? All the empire guides ive read suggest early and often confederation with peers in territory size, even without significant alliances/relations

>The monday news is to mention there was news Friday

CA pls

>>158939156
>>158939375
Middenheim sub-faction when?

Boris Todbringer ascending to full Legendary Lordhood and Priests of Ulric when?

>>158947825
It's somewhat counterintuitive that I need to throw stacks of money at a nation that is about to die in order to allow me to integrate them. I guess flavor-wise you could call it bribing the nobles to step aside and relinquish authority to the emperor.

>>158947830
Pretty sure those guides are only for low difficulties where everyone loves you. Also, confederating early isn't a good idea anyway, as it can really fuck you over if you're not well prepared and have good relations with all everyone that'll get the diplomatic penalty afterwards.

>>158947975
Don't they only release news on Tuesdays and Thursdays though?

I mean, since today is Halloween, something like that weird harpy mode in Rome 2 for Warhammer wouldn't be unexpected. But I don't really see anything tree related until maybe the next two weeks?

>>158939586
Settra needs to approve of everything before the TK get in.

And they will come eventually. Sooner than Skaven.

>>158940316
The datamining confirmed it.

Chaos Davi are going to be DLC 13 (so still a really long way).

Hoping they get those flying bulls of theirs and even more OP siege engines.

>>158948106
It isn't integration, it's complete capitulation. You're forcing them to abandon their entire identity and conform to yours. It was never going to be a simple task.

>>158948261
>Hoping they get those flying bulls of theirs
Yeah, lets hope they prep the bull :^)

>>158939586
>>158942084
I like Indypride for that reason honestly. He just goes off of what is there, instead of some retarded wishlisting or other inane shit.

He could delve into the lore a bit more in some areas, but that's perfectly forgivable considering how lax GW is with canon in the first place.

>>158948319
I don't really feel like forcing stirland nobles to relinquish authority to the elected emperor is an annihilation of their identity, any more than prussia annexing hannover annihilated the hannoverian identity.

>>158949834
My question was meant as "how do I stop myself from buying it" than "how do I stop thinking about buying it"

I really liked Attila and I imagine Rome 2 as a somewhat inferior Attila with a different setting and more ROME

>>158949964
Yeah I know, I was just fucking with you. Id say dont buy it and just wait for AE to come out, Ive put like 500 hundred hours into it and I can say without a doubt it kinda sucks, and every other total war is better except maaaybe empire.

I got warhammer total war and all its DLC, its my first total war and i got it because of warhammer, I'm loving it so far.
I was also reading the Skarsnik book and since my Empire campaign is about to end i am thinking about making starting on as Crooked moon, any tips on how to lead this gobbos to greatness?

>>158950678
Skarsnik campaign is very straightforward but it's hard, somewhat just don't get too many enemies

>>158950678
Get a Waagh! going, numbers are on your side, then pick the red skills in Skarsnik skill tree and watch you cheap gobbos become killing machines for a ridiculously cheap price

It's a tough campaign though, be warned,don't try it on VH if you're new to the game

If anyone that posted on Reddit with the new batch of Grom codes gets a "Someone requested a steam recovery for your account" email then I apologise. I was hastily typing in the 4 DLC codes hoping 1 was free and clicked "Recover account in question" twice in the hurry.

You may get more than one if everyone else types as fast and tries to exit to add another. I can't post there because I refuse to sign up to that place. I didn't get one. Wasn't fast enough. Ah well. Steam should really remove that button or give a pop up to confirm it. Really stupid feature on the redeem code page.

You don't, either you can manage to go back to the clunkier games, or you never look back. I've been playing since S1 and enjoyed R1 and M2, both vanilla and unmodded, for hundreds of hours, but now I can't play anything before ETW anymore.

Its a Norse horror game "Through the Woods"

If you dont mind a short experience (about four or five hours), and no jump scares, its really really good. Monsters are scary as fuck. Perfect for Halloween.

BTW, for an anicent greek faggot is there any good mods for Rome 2?

>>158955396

Eh, no? Speaking the same language as another country doesn't mean you want to be one country, dipshit.

The other 5 pics are Tricks. Confirmed for not an "ingame" prize. So could it be a visit to CA?


Elf posters about to make a huge comeback.

>>158955487
Why unlikely? Its clearly been worked on for a long ass time and K&W was DLC 06 in the game files. DLC05 is still in play.

Russian leak confirmed. By the time the next DLC comes out it will be mid November so nearly a month after the last one.

IT'S HAPPENING.

CD keys on Steam have been updated and all the builds updated today. Wood Elves soon.

Reminder: Tulip and Tulip2 were K&W and Grombrindal respectivetly. Waterfall and Waterfall2 could very well be the rumoured combo release of paid Wood Elf Campaign pack and free Bretonnia race pack to boost the Christmas sales.

He's not lying guys, I just checked it myself. They really do need to fix their filenames and shit.

Though it was pretty obvious anyways. But always nice to have a confirmation.
