/twg/- Total War General

Wood Elves are one of the lowest intelligence races in WARHAMMER. Most of them aren't even literate. Additionally, they regularly practice incest.

No reason for wood elves not to have a lot of metal. Some of teh biggest metal industries thrived in forests, like the Roman iron industry in the forest of Dean. Pretty sure one of the wood elf lords is basically Thranduil and hordes jewels as well.

Metalworking requires burning wood.

In a world where fire magic exists, that ain't exactly true.

Especially since Wood Elves SHOULD have access to all lores of magic, including High and Dark.

it's usually not bad if you stick your army at that pass they go through.

You know their swords are made of metal too, right, that requires fire as well.

Or is the forest okay with them burning just a little bit but not too much?

No, just get friendly with grimgor and help him out in the north and get rich off destroying bretshits, princes, and dorfs. grimgor can still fuck everything up, get distracted raiding to the north and get his undefended territory can get fucked by what's left of the dwarves to the north and in the rest of the mountains.

It's not over yet, just wait for grimgor to make a mistake.

>>160597078

We're speaking in relative terms. Thus "not much metal", which is not the same as saying "no metal"

They can't cut down hundreds of trees to use as fuel for the forging of massive artillery pieces or every-day objects like other factions. Instead they use living wood shaped by magic, at least they used to back in the days.

They still have swords, spearheads and arrowheads as well as light armour. But Athel Loren is not exactly home of the worlds largest metal industry.

>>160598192
8th Ed which the game is mostly based on, you mean?

And I think it was to bring them in line with the other Elven factions, particularly the High Elves, since they diverged from a common root where that mastery was applicable.

>>160596931
The wood elves owuld have to manage the wood as people have done for centuries. They'd literally plant and coppice wood to make charcoal simple as that.

They were all either in hiding or slaving away in the sprue-mines.
Seriously though, Bretonnia hadn't been updated for two editions and was considered a dead faction by other players. There weren't enough Breton players to raise a significant complaint.

I'd really stop hyping yourself about new beastmen units, at the very least, and conservatively I'd say Morghur too.

The Eurogamer thing showed no evidence of new Beastmen units, and I'd reckong they'd get screentime in the climactic battle against Morghur.

And my pessimism says Morghur is just going to be a Custom Battle/MP LL.

The rest though, yes, get hype.

Makes sense its in their lore. The Forest Dragons are pretty friendly with the elves and answer the call to defend the forest when asked.. Unlike the elves they also have an interest in the outside world so are eager to learn new things from any Greenskin,Human,Dwarf,Skaven or whatever they may come across.

I still can't believe that Hyrule: Total War mod exists

Oh yeah. Yer right in this case. Radious is retarded when it comes to units (armored Slayers...so much lore rape it can fill a hundred tomes of Slaanesh).

You can force them to become vassals.

Vassals will do EVERYTHING you want. Even the things they don't want to, but must.

>>160603063
VC strategy is to clog the enemy with cheap units (Skellies, Zombies, Ghouls, Bats and Dire Wolves) supported with stuff like Unholy Lodestone Corpse Carts or Mortis Engines, and then hit them from the flanks and rear with the heavy hitters (Blood Knights, Black Knights, Terrogheists, Vargheists, Hexwraiths, Black Coaches).

Mahrak (middle to the left) is ruled by a TK named Phar, who really, really hates Settra.

Rasetra (southernmost) is the main Tomb King stronghold against the Southland lizardmen and Savage Orcs.

Even (northernmost Lahmia, their place of origin, is just a cursed ruin not inhabited by anybody in particular.

>Fire Mouth is a holy place for ogres, the Firebelly cult has their home here.

There are no "cheap shitty ships".

The only ones that won't get chewed up by autoresolve cost 1.5k+ each, and take multiple turns to train.

When you've got 3 AI factions spamming significantly more than you can counter, auto-resolving like that is not exactly economical, or sustainable recruitment wise.

Well, the game sure got more exciting after I decided to march up and beat up Archaon personally.
Skarsnik is now officially the Bestest Greenskin in da world. Not even the Herald of the End Times could stop him.
Problem is Archaon has a lot of allies with him.
After beating him I had to flee across half of the north from the Chaos Warherd. Now I decided to resettle Karak Drak. Which might've something of a mistake since now two full armies of Norsca are on my tail and Skaelig as well. Time to use the underway and get out.

Also last sighting of Archaon was around Nuln where he and his tiny army were running away from some no name Bretonnian lord...kek

What do you guys think the next 2 games/expansions will bring?

If theyre supposed to act as standalone games, I dont really see how they could improve multiplayer or campaign.

You cant just revamp the campaign mechanics for only one of the games. Doesnt really make sense. Making the map bigger obviously makes sense, because that doesnt negate anything from the other games, it only adds.

Like, I doubt theyre gonna improve the AI for the 2nd game, and then you combine both games and get better AI than if you just have the first?

idk, the whole thing is weird. I feel like the only DLC were gonna get is new races and units, and the actual game is gonna just stay the same. $60 for a bigger map with new races on it.

and by that point, DLC races wont even be worth it. Its like buying every hero in League of Legends.

Making tech choices is difficult for me, as I don't know the best way to maximize efficiency with my building placements/lord skill choices/etc. I've played dwarfs and vampire counts a lot, but they both get boring as I tech out and chill for 20-30 turns...

Engine has changed since then, I'd assume.

Probably something associated with animations or the randomisation within units.

Beastmen are about surrounding. Use vanguard to attack from multiple angles.

The ungor herd and ungor raiders are good to group up for flanks. Just plop ungor raiders allover the forests, with some ungor raiders to protect them, and a couple centigors to sneak around and charge vulnerable units.

Then you can bring your main army and minotaurs up and crush their disorganized lines.

You actually care for that unit because if it takes too much damage you can't win battles when you are outnumbered.

Atilla and Warhammer have seperate engines, so just Atilla could do it doesn't Warhammer can.

Not to mention the models for female units are quite noticeably different than males in Warhammer than in Atilla. I think have mixed gendered units in Warhammer would probably mess with the animations. At least that's my guess.

Though I do agree I hope they find a solution later. I just think it isn't that big of a deal, and there are better things worth looking into.

Like improving animations in general, giving Legendary Lords unique one instead of having everyone fight like an Empire Swordsman.

I use a mod that buffs autoresolve for the AI by 100%

Makes it so I have to actually fight battles on Very Hard

Wood elfs literally fight like women, animations wouldn't be a problem

Southlanders call it a Pyrrhic victory. Like somehow we are worse off after this battle.

8000 gold worth of spoils, many warriors gone to meet the gods and those worthy enough to reave again separated from those found wanting. Seems like a glorious victory to me.

Also use witch hunters. Agents are really easy to level up with sabotaging

they just seem dwarfed by the environments. especially the trees that seem ten times larger than trees in real life (not counting magic trees in beastpaths). The comfiest sort of battle would be a small scale one in an environment like the nearest wood/field/whatever from where you live

They actually start with several stacks. They don't produce them. You will not meet a lot of opposition after you have dealt with them(Unless they have expanded a lot).

>playing as Norsca
why?

Do beastmen stick around in anyone's grand campaigns? I haven't fought 'em once, they just get wiped out really fast.

>>160617149
Just like the witch hunter and dwarf engineer

>>160620416
>>no hostile agent actions

Just get your own fucking agents. I never had any problems with enemy agents.

For some reason they NEVER recruit units, just run around with the units they spawn with

I'm over 400 hours, but I haven't had a battle feel that damn good since. There's something magical about coming out of a last stand, torn to hell, but still alive.
