>The winning move is to not play
But seriously now, this game is going to be expensive as fuck, assuming you didnt wait for sales or anything its going to be at least $300+ for everything.

>>160542909
will the game be extended? Like the Cha<os invasion comes pretty early so will late game now be without Chaos at all or will the Chaos invasion be delayed so I can go colonize Lustria as Empire and remove elf shiits?

>>160543060
Not saying I'm happy about the gouging, but for anyone who walked into a GW store as a kid and could never afford to build armies, this is the hugely cheaper alternative

>>160543034
No, refusing to pay retardedly high prices shows I'm not a cuck and that if they expect my money they should be reasonable with their pricing.

It seems like you think they aren't fucking you with $18 races.

>>160542909

High Elves and Lizards are definitely in the top 6 in regards to strength. Skaven were by far the most versatile and powerful, almost absurdly so. I'm definitely interested to see how they make Skaven work. But Daemons of Chaos were a close 2nd followed by Dark Elves and Ogres fighting for 3rd and 4th.

So more like the two most powerful (Skaven, Dark Elves) followed by 2 more pretty stronk factions.

>>160543530
considering it actually has 95% of the Welf roster and doesn't ignore some of the bigger units that Elves have, it's definitely better.

I was thinking CA is one of the most stable studios out there.

Generally speaking developers lay off a lot of people after releasing a game but CA has been releasing games one after another for more than 15 years so they are basically can afford to keep their devs.

The only people that got laid off are the community managers

I wonder if they would add sync animations for dragon killing another dragon later on.

>>160543571

they have an effective monopoly on their primary content so they don't have to worry that much.

we'll probably see more cuts once CA realizes total war arena is a bust. that or they'll merge that department.

>>160543862

>>160543432
>the only way to support DLC is to buy extremely overpriced DLC
You keep bringing this up and it makes no sense

>>160543561
If you think about it the Welves roster does share and will share a great deal of its skeletons animations with the rest of the armies; it's not so difficult to see how the more varied and unique nature of the beasts roster had some repercussions in the count of total units.

I'm fearing a similar thing will happen for the lizardmen.

>>160544056
this is unironically one of my favorite screnshots I see posted around here.

>>160544017
>>160543836

they should make those chaos dragons recruitable at this point.

Damn near impossible to get a lord to that rank before he gets swamped by norscans or empire.

>>160544130
lizards have a 90% chance imo of being a main race in expansion 1, so we'll see them get updates.

"It’s whispered amongst the Northern tribes that somewhere in the icy peaks, there are Dragons, but not the ones of legend. These are the mutant spawn of Galrauch, the ancient Dragon who was corrupted by Tzeentch. The Chaos Dragons are thankfully rare and content to spend the eons buried in their lairs, brimming with hatred and plotting the destruction of all that lives. But when the Dark Gods call, not even these monsters can resist the urge to wage war for the Ruinous Powers. But they are fickle creatures, quick to turn on their allies should it give them the advantage."

It is kind of a shame that GW never expanded on chaos dragons, they always got lumped with Tzeentch. Would've been great to see a whole cabal of Khornate, Nuglite and Slaaneshi dragons to match the different types High Elves get.

This is bare

>>160542982

Except that I'll get more playtime and enjoyment out of wood Elves than most shitty AAA games that have 8 hour campaigns and yet cost 60 bucks, the value here is great.

So we're getting Bretons and Elfs

Last races?

Maybe Skaven

Total Warhammer 2 will give us Tomb Kings, Lizard Men, High Elves and Dark Elves

Maybe Daemons of Chaos as independent faction?

>>160549351

Wouldn't they need to expand the map for that?

>>160548925
Warhammer does feel somewhat bare with regional occupation. The campaigns always take identical routes and you fight the same one or two factions for the majority. Still better than Rome II where you just fight different coloured celts or persians.

>>160549525

Could always have some kind of horde thing where they show up in Brettonia with a big-ass undead fleet

So I just got the one ring in Third Age Total War.
What do I do with it? Playing Orcs of Gundabad by the way.

Why does the AI refuse to do siege battles? I'm playing on VH Warhammer and they were sieging Altdorf for the full 8 turns before supplies ran out. I'd even run an army or two behind them to try to scare them into action and nothing. Frustrating. Just want to defend some shit. I'd even take the loss if I could whittle down their troops a bit.

They said in an interview that Wood Elves would be by far the biggest DLC before the next game

That rules out any new major factions pretty much unless they make them into hordes

>>160551585
Yes, this piece of DLC will be the largest, but it's a faction bundled with a campaign. They may very well be planning on releasing another faction as a standalone thing.

So, how do I play Beastmen? On Legendary, that is.

I decided to test them on normal and it really went up and down constantly. But I found myself often in lack of money or having no fucking idea where to proceed next. Is there like an early starter guide for Beastmen? What to focus on early into the campaign and all.

Which faction is worst in Rome II?

Starting lord?

I spent alot of effort to beg my parents to use their credit card for this total war game. Now they won't let me use their credit card to buy the beastmen or new units because they dont understand why I need to use their card over and over.

Middle school just started and course work is picking up and my parents want me to join band so I wont be able to play this game as much with the dlc. I'm sure many of the people protesting DLC for this game is in same situation as me, where middle school is starting, the developers need to understand that if they don't cater to our age group, we are going to bomb their reviews on steam.

Minotaurs are mandatory, as is a stack of four or five Cyghors to deal with towers and siege engines. Here's roughly what I rolled with in my campaign.

>malagor
>2x gorebull for both sets of skills
>4x bestigor for AP damage
>4x gor herd for general melee
>4x minos w/ shields to act as ghetto cavalry
>5x cyghor to disrupt enemy ranged units until minos can reach them

Never, ever both with Bray-Shamans, they aren't worth the trouble. Beastmen have a staggeringly retarded random event that triggers far too often and wounds your shaman and it'll just trip you up at the most important moment. Start with Malagor instead, since he doesn't get caught out by it.

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.

In AoS, yes. He finally meets his doom when Grimnir, the Dwarfen God of War, takes a break from slaughtering endless hordes of daemons to tell Gotrek that he was always intended to be his heir. And then he swiftly kills Gotrek before resurrecting him as Grimnir Mk. 2: Revengance; Turbo - Judgement Day: This Time It's Personal. Grimnir then fucks off on vacation leaving Gotrek to fight said endless horde of daemons for all of eternity, something he's actually happy to do.

I think he became Grimnir or something. This makes me question of the AoS slayers are technically rubbing Gotrek's pieces on themselves like some sort of drug.

Total war is actually one of the funnest multiplayer games out there. Most people who play it just seem to have no friends.

Vassals ever worth it in Shogun 2?

VH/VH Otomo, have ignored bushido and beelined all the honour / diplomacy techs on chi, but I've still got global dislike and wars for no reason (only moderate strength rating, against mighty/terrifying AI). In the meantime, I just need the other factions to leave me alone while I build my nanban navy up and grab some tradenodes.

Considering vassalising one of the mainland single-province factions for a +1 honour, to help smooth over diplomatic relations and get trade moving. Could anything negative come of this?

Yari ashigaru are your backbone. Rely on them.

Go for stand and fight on your generals - it's good.

See those completely useless fire-mangonels? They force the AI to rush you, even if they're defending. It can be useful to place a single one of them into your armies. They will never get a single kill, but it stops the obnoxious hill camps. European cannons do the same, but they're actually decent against cavalry.

Bow kobaya stacks rule the waves (only with fire arrows)

Keep a metsuke in every single high profit town. They're more use there than anywhere else

Food surplus + low taxes in the long run. It'll pay off.

You want to secure and build up a smith and fletcher province + encampments prior to realm divide. Max attack yari ashigaru behave like samurai. Put them in spear wall, and you can shit on a lot of things with them. Same for archers. Plus, high attack means they gain veterancy quicker, meaning melee defense / reload improves faster. I don't know which of armor or attack is ideal - but I always go attack. I don't think armor impacts melee too much, mostly just arrows. I try not to let my guys get shot.

"Summary: If you're a Total War veteran looking for an improvement on the last Total War title you were playing, this isn't it. This isn't an exploration of new mechanics or improvements. This is for Warhammer fans seeking a simplified Total War experience."
what does twg think?

>>160564889
Having not played warhammer, and only having seen it in videos, I can't help but notice how simplified sieges look compared to prior titles.

I get that the AI is braindamaged, but the sieges don't look enjoyable in the slightest. Attack or defend. At least in the past, defending could be kind of fun.

Am I right in this judgment? I've not played it, only seen footage, so I could be wrong.

>>160564415
They rape the animals and kill the women. It's why the livestock of sacked towns that beastmen caused sometimes give birth to chaos spawn

>>160565176
Defending in the past relied on cheesing the AI through bottlenecks or how it would give up halfway through if you took out its siege capabilities

>>160565176

Honestly I dig sieges as Dorfs, maybe Empire because their artillery can be fun to use.

If you're just storming a place, or for that matter defending against a storm, it's just boring. Especially for Vampire Counts.

>>160564889

> If you're a Total War veteran looking for an improvement on the last Total War title you were playing, this isn't it.

True but every Total War game is basically the same thing if you want to be obtuse.

> This isn't an exploration of new mechanics or improvements.

There he goes with that word improvement again. Warhammer has a lot of new mechanics at least on the battle field level. Flying units, magic, heroes, etc.

>This is for Warhammer fans seeking a simplified Total War experience.

There's a certain banality to this claim. I feel like everyone always complains [current TW] is more simplified and casual. But the thing is, TW has never, ever been a """"""complex""""""" strategy game. It's always basically been a poorly disguised arcadey war simulator.

Warhammer just doesn't waste your time with pedantry.

>>160565728

Dang, Vampires are so under powered and unfun to play on the campaign map, they need more lords you guys. /queue a new free LL for Vampire Cunts

t. Creative Assembly

So I finally decided to play campaign, and a few things are really confusing me.

Mainly, The options you have after defeating a settlement.

1.Why would I ever raze something rather than occupying it, if I want it? Occupying it literally gives no benefits from what it seems?
You get some buildings from occupying, and a small amount of income.

Cant you just occupy it, then take your army out? If it gets destroyed the next turn, how is that a bad thing? What negatives are there?

2. If you sack and then occupy, do the public order penalties stack or override. I cant tell.

3. If you occupy a settlement from a different race, do you not keep any of the old buildings? Seems that you just get the the first rank of the standard settlement type building, but nothing else.

4. If you want to raze a building just to make sure the whole thing is fucked, because you know you wont be able to keep it, and you dont want your opponent taking it back and occupying to get high level buildings back, why not just occupy and demolish it for cash.

>>160566028
when can we play as the breton vamps

>>160566962
Occupying a city means you have to spend time getting the public order under control so sometimes It's better to just raze shit just to deprive the enemy from having it.

>>160566962
meant to say that occupying gives no downsides for the first part.

Are IronDrakes the most OP thing in early campaign? Starting with them as Grombrindal is amazing, and they regularly get 200+ kills every battle against greenskins

Hey Urist, did you hear the one about the Dwarf Slayer? After he lost his head he felt a little, short.

>ruining the game with mods

you disgust me.

>>160569992
The only mod I think is essential is the better AI recruitment and the guy hasn't even updated it since King and the Warlord, it still works though.

>>160569629
I've been stuck like this for ages

it's like a weird fear of what experience you might miss out on if you go in too early?

It's weird, we should just play it and start over when new stuff comes out. I mean fuck it's going to be 3 WEEK till elves

Same thing happened to me in a Clan Angrund campaign, no achievement for building the great hold, it might be bugged.

Is there a lore reason for Vlad not riding a mount? Isn't he bros with the Red Duke and the Blood Knights?

Man, I want to see that tree scene from the first Evil Dead movie re-enacted with a Treeman and a hapless Beastman.

>>160564616
Do Beastmen only reproduce via rape of captives? That's pretty fucking lewd.
