H-hey guys, what's going on? G-glad we'll finally be able to see each other on the 8th for some regenerating, no-armor, splash damage monstrous action, r-right? I mean, the DLC IS 20 bucks after all. CA wouldn't fink out and dash everyone's hopes about the last remaining unfinished army, would they? SURELY not CA!

So what's the next historic total war in a couple of years?

I hate to admit it but Warhammer made Total War great again, they made all this cash and already have the history one planned out

Charlemagne was great, but it wasn't too in depth. They could've expanded the factions a lot more and it would've been nice to have more objectives like building cathedrals, aiming for a relationship with the pope or spreading paganism. Sure the ideas were there but they weren't manifested as gameplay. Warhammer has spoilt us in that regard, this new oak of ages objective looks very interesting.

Hope the empire/vampires get their hands on those lores quickly and not in some rivalry pack or something

>>160445446
The FLC array has a new empire hero alongside the new lores, so that's a no given like the lore of beasts.

Who knows about the vamps though.

>>160445446
considering how Lore of Life seems to be the antithesis to death, why do vamps get it?

Empire would get life and shadows, vamps would only get shadows (on their vampires, necromancers.. etc.). Poorly worded.
Technically vampires can take anything EXCEPT life through forbidden lores as I recall but that doesn't really matter

So I guess without Wood elves getting seasons introduced that means we might not see any of the other proposed mechanics getting introduced with other factions like pestilence with skaven or a food mechanic with ogres.

What do you think?

For people wondering how Wood Elves will play, 1d4chan has a pretty good section on tactics for each of the tabletop factions giving a run down of what units are and how they're supposed to be used. It's obviously not a 1:1 translation to TWW but it's still handy if you know nothing about a faction and want to learn roughly how they're supposed to work.

Wood Elves is the biggest DLC they're going to be doing for this game, which means nothing but small shit for the rest of the cycle.

The cycle won't be another half year with that kind of policy. Remember that the New Content team haven't been working on the new game, they've had a massive team working on it since May.

Making factions less likely to declare war on you. I got it pretty early, and managed to avoid more than one war with Empire factions, so that they all became friendly when I fought chaos. Then I could pick them off at my leisure while spreading corruption.

I'm a /tg/ guy so let me tell you how it goes.

All Warhammer players are autistic, old men who play in private garage playgroups or they're obese and smell terrible

Ork and Khorne players have a screw loose they like shouting their catch phrases and get damn annoying

Elf players tend to be older players who have kids and are being nagged by the wife via text between turns.

Dwarf players are old men without kids who often own the garage. Usually very fat and like a drink during the game but don't cause any problems.

Undead players are mostly goth kids who forgot to dress up.

Every one else just sort of blends into the autistic mass, but I can answer questions directed at me if requested.

Agents can only be interacted with by other agents. You have a variety of actions, depending on which agent you're using; assassination, conversion, restricting movement, bribery, and so on. Armies can't do anything to them, except move away and hope they don't get followed.

>>160455939
Heh, back in medieval 2 (and possibly rome 1) you actually could squash agents with an army if you placed a unit on every grid square around them first so they had nowhere to move to. Best way of getting rid of asshole inquisitors.

It's a ritual, every spring a wood elf prince (Based elf man) goes into the oak of ages and gets transformed into an avatar of Orion, the god of the hunt (Pretty horsemanfly). Then he goes on the wyld hunt or w/e with his neet elves and then when it's winter he returns to the oak of ages and burns up. To repeat the cycle next spring.

>Kurnous' avatar is called Orion.
>Every year, a suitable elf lord candidate goes into Ariel's tree and gets turned into Orion.
>Orion is a demigod whose primary personality is a fusion of the god Kurnous and the chosen elf-lord, while previously sacrificed elf-lords hang around inside his head like a greek choir

While campaigns could provide lots of fun, it all comes down to the AI being pretty terrible. It's a shame because the risk-style campaign maps, the situations changing during the conflicts and having to use what forces you have and plan accordingly instead of just using the most effective decks are great.

It is now Official. Athel Loren is radiant in its resplendence. Delicate young boys cavort for the delight of their mistresses, and the luminescence of sprites and pixies flicker through the enchanted wood. The Sisters of Twilight languorously uncurl from their embrace; panpipes flute a tune of merriment throughout the halls of the summerstrand. The diverting indignities of gorposting and Deep-Thinking Goblins are a receding memory, a windblown fragment of the season past. All Asrai make ready for frolic and improductivity; indolence is the watchword, and none can be found but are feverishly, zealously committed to inactivity.

From the Oak of Ages, the Eternal Queen watches and is warmed by the celebrations of her people. In such a festive air, Orion's rebirth cannot but be imminent; Ariel's handmaidens ceaselessly weave flowers into her hair, presenting an endless procession of styles and and aspects by which their beloved monarch might greet her consort. Those that retain a sense of time and worldly events look to his arrival; Naieth's divinations serve only to confirm what the jubilant atmosphere of the forest makes evident.

Wood Elves Confirmed.

Set across a beautiful and highly-detailed campaign map of Athel Loren and the surrounding Duchies of Breton, The Season of Revelation is playable as either Durthu or Orion, the Wood Elves’ two Legendary Lords. This campaign tasks the player with uniting Athel Loren in the face of Bretonnian incursions and, later, from a series of fearsome, climactic attacks by the Beastman warlord Morghur, and his corrupted bray-herds.

More like $250 for each game/expansion.

They still have like 2 more race DLCs and 4 more campaign DLCs for this game. Three more races if they don't include the Chaos as a race pack.

So this game is easily going to be upwards of $200.

Then they have two more planned expansions, each of which is going to be just as much DLC bullshit.

Wood Elves have no way to deal with walled settlements and unlike vamps don't have the healing to tank out tower damage. There's also the problem that towers can shoot at hidden units

Am I supposed to fight this? Literally the first battle of the campaign. If I let him pass, he's gonna walk right up to my only settlement and shit down my throat.

It sounds like you got BTFO instead manlet

The Slav pack for Atilla had this too. You basically gather enough resources to build your NEET wonder, while balancing money that could've been spent on troops.

Having a sub faction in Lustria as arch enemies of the Lizardmen(as per lore) and their main faction at Skavenblight allows a 2 front start. When the land expansion east into the Darklands happens. A new subfaction at Crookback mountain would mean a 3 front choice of start positions.

The Skaven have tunnels literally everywhere. Except for Ulthuan and thats only because they cannot penetrate the magic of the High Elves.

First of all, what mods you using? Second of all, no. You ignore him and you immediately attack Karak Norn. Your spider will break down the door and you will rush in. You will take the city and then that dumbass will waste a turn coming back at ya. You use that turn to replenish or recruit new units. Then you attack him. He might decide to run away from you and not go with an underway battle. That is fine.

It's also on the store page. What exactly the fuck do you think "any" means

>>160464560

Nothing in the game is classified as "melee" aside from "Melee specialist" heros.

They're not cygors, and there's literally zero artillery on the elves roster.

>>160464647
Because the grand campaign isn't an historical campaign.

>Night Goblin Spears

Why would you use such a shitty unit?

>>160464905

>ransom is an option

what.

I guess it depends on how the sequels will work. If they don't have access to the old world and all of its factions to fight against, then people who only buy game 2 will get screwed out of 4/5ths of the skaven start positions and legendary lords.

poison meatshield? although i have no idea wtf they have to offer him that regular night goblins don't do better since gob spears aren't anti-large

>>160458365
Yes. It spawns an allied AI army that obeys war coordination targets with suicidal zeal

...You really don't know the rules to the TT, do you? Or are you just memeing?

Strength 4= -1 to enemy armour, and a higher chance to damage high toughness enemies.
Strength 3= no enemy armour modifiers.
Armour piercing=-1 to enemy armour.

Thus S3 with armour piercing is a shittier version of a basic S4.

Treemen are spirits. Its likely they will have ethereal protection or some massive damage reduction.
Here is the profile of Treemen.
>Near impervious to harm
>Strike with enough force to shatter stone

Treemen will be extremely effective against walls and gates. Calling it.

>>160464689
You either romp them in the underway or you let them pass and sack their settlement when they leave.
Pro tip: That spider will literally carry you.

>large monster will break gates
how the fuck is that a fucking "calling it" moment you cocksucker
