TRUE KING OF EIGHT PEAKS

is this a free dlc codes thread

MEDIEVAL THREE WHEN

So what are they doing with the expansions again?

Releasing a new game that's not really a new game if you own the current game and expansions that's like an amalgamation of new and old with new stuff?

>>160862824
It's a standalone expansion that also joins together with the vanilla game, or something.

Lord knows how the DLC's will work for the people who only own the expansion.

>>160862824
They've been deliberately vague, most likely because they have no idea how to implement it. All we know is that the three games will be standalone products that can also fit together "like a jigsaw".

First for Empire is best faction

>they have no idea how to implement it

You think they went forward with the connecting trilogy plan with no idea how to implement it even after over 6 months of developing part 2. Are you fucking retarded? You don't greenlight a 10 year investment if you have no idea how to even make it.

Could i meme people online by bringing nothing but flying units and missile cav?

Chaos maticore and horse spam, is there anything they can do if they dont have ranged?

So if Durthu starts out in a different region, does that mean he won't start out with the Oak of Ages?

>>160864349
Do either faction start with it?

How many settlements will belong to WE in GC?

Hoping Athel Loren is more than just 3 settlements.

VC armies being able to recruit riderless Zombie Dragons, but only if they raise dead in the Plain of Bones after the general has reached a certain level. High upkeep. y/n?

>>160864218
You're gonna run out of ammunition eventually if you're using straight ranged. If it's all Shock Cav then you might have a chance if you take out their Anti-Large units with artillery.

If all of their units aren't dead by the time you're out of missiles, their (remaining) infantry will run you down and kill you. Same with Anti-Large against the flying units. Frankly I have no idea how to beat flying units as Empire and it's fucking frustrating so I just use Spearmen

>>160864460
There's 5 regions, from what we can tell.

>>160864597
If you cycle charge a unit with 5 flying units it will route after like 2 charges, even anti large cant do much since you can attack from every angle.

They wont be able to catch the stupidly fast cav could they?

>>160863243
>>160862824
Four races for the new world one

I'm guessing they'll do what they didn't do with the first game which is break the races up into factions

Malekith's faction will be "the dark elves" and then you'll have 1-2 subfactions and they'll repeat that for each race so that each has some nice starting areas except maybe Skaven. And Skaven will be Clan Pestilens and thus a subfaction instead of the Skaven proper, who will be in Skavenblight and be unplayable if you don't have the expansion- thus forcing redditors to pay 40-60 dollars for their favorite faction.

>>160864465
>spending this many charlemagnes on a gimmick flavor mechanic

Add new technology for raising undead dragons, give it flavor text about journeying to bone plains to get bones. Don't actually bother to go to bone plains with your army and mannlet because it's a pain because the plains are full of greenskins and spiky manlets and fat guys who eat everything

See the gameplay trailer in OP, he's in there.

He's got regular legs. Which isn't exactly lore-breaking since he's supposed to constantly change form.

Why are the dragons so small in this game?

>>160865763
For you

They are not that small still like 30 times the size of a human.

>>160865056
If they have really low leadership it could work so they'll crumble more easily despite being a strong tarpit, sort of like in tt

Statistically, they aren't as offensively powerful as trolls, but their unbreakable morale and the speed of their attacks makes them, probably, Chaos' best unit.

>>160870503
Chaos spawn are absolute melee monsters, any sort of regular infantry you throw against them will suffer disproportionate casualties unless you focus some ranged fire on them as well. And the AI probably isn't going to focus your spawn, so they're going to get bang for their buck.

I know everyone is busy talking about warhammer, but is anyone up for a simple guide about how to succeed as the Ikko Ikki on H/VH/L?

>>160874815
The amount of micro required in a battle does not change significantly between unit sizes.

>>160874843
Sure. Your units are shit, so only use katana ash or light cave until late game. When in doubt be aggressive, and make vassals until daimyo honor is 6. Realm divide starts from turn 10.

They need to make total war:1 or total war empire remastered.

In remastered, we get more playable factions, larger map, include China, Africa, south America, start earlier with renaissance units and end with machine guns, add better tech tree, more fort diversity, and larger armies.

It's 2016 almost 2017, we should be able to have armies of 25,000 +

>>160875203
Expanding on this, 1 general + 19 katana ashigaru will last you until you start seeing heavy samurai stacks.

Internal economy is very important. Central Japan (especially omi) is a trap.

Dragons are various in size. Most are the smaller types some are the huge types. The huge types don't usually let people ride them

>>160882893
I'd say so, personally I've been having a lot of fun with it. Really it depends if you have any interest in a fantasy Total War.

The major down side is it's just one part in a bigger three game project so there's going to be a lot DLC. So if you do just get anything you intend to use.

>>160884497
Wood Elf settlements are divided into the Athel Loren settlements, which have a ton of building slots and are where everything gets done, and their outposts that can only have one building. It's very likely that their outposts can be occupied by relevant factions (So a karak outpost can be occupied by greenskins but not vampires), and the Athel Loren settlements can be sack or raze only.

I don't see anyone else being allowed to occupy the spooky woods.

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.

it regenerates units that are within aura range of the cart.

>>160899497

It's just I don't see an aura radius on it, but I figured it was something like that

>>160899630

I think the normal corpse cart just has regen for itself and passive buffs for your units.

The lodestone one has a regen aura.

replace archers with heavy hitters/monstorous infantry

>>160900459
Pick vlad or Mannfred to start with. Concentrate on upgrading your capital, you have a really hard time making money as the vamps outside of provinces that straight up have gold mines and shit.
Beeline for corruption spread, or just blitz really fast as you have the strongest, most-replenishable army in the early stages of the game, depends on what difficulty you're playing on and if you can deal with public-order as quickly as you're expanding.

Any allies are fairly unviable but suck stunted dick as much as you can. You don't border Karak Norn so you're not in a terrible spot, but all other stunties run close behind Norn's pure malevolence.

Finally, aim to get walls up in every single settlement before the skraelingening hits.

On battle, transition out of zombies as quickly as possible.
Soul Siphon + vlad/mannfred's combat ability will win any leader duel without difficulty early game.
Dire wolves are respectable shock cavalry when armies are still low tier, they'll get hundreds of kills a battle.(they just usually don't survive).

Always overcast invocation of nehek, it's your strongest spell.

Try to remember that you're not immune to morale, you just crumble instead of rout. Crumbling units are better because they continue to do damage and more importantly: hold the enemy, but they'll still deteriorate off the battlefield almost as quickly as a routing unit.

>>160900459

>for campaign

if you care about a strong starting lord roll with either vlad von carstein or mannfred since they are both solid melee fighters and have access to good spells or starting units. Ghorst is a nice support since he can fucking summon a wight king out of nowhere and has a corpse cart mobile thing. Kemmler is shit tier.

A good starting lord is vlad since he has vanguard for shitting on ranged heavy opponents and it can be hard to get vlad since you have to raze Altdorf.

in terms of getting your campaign up and going do the first battle against templehof and then raise the dead. Now if you are decent at fighting you can just gun it for templehof and take their capitol. If you're lazy or don't want to risk it you can go for the other city which is generally unguarded. If you're lucky the AI will send out it's original army from templehof into open battle where you have a good shot at winning since initial city garrisons suck massive ass. Also grab eschen or whatever that third city is to secure the province and start taxing fuckers.

after that grab templehof and start building up your territory. I generally rush for the grave guard units since basic skeletons suck complete ass while grave guard can actually hold the line. Another option is to rush the haunted woods building line to get access to crypt horrors/terrorgheists/varghulfs since they are pretty fucking solid.

after that take over the other chunk of Sylvania and from there you can basically do anything you fucking want on the campaign. make sure to build a fuck ton of gold and vampire corruption shit so that when chaos comes you won't get fucked.

If by monstrous infantry you mean crypt-horrors then you want them in the red box to charge through your own lines.

>>160902058

>for battles

initially battles are pretty straight forward since you basically have skeletons and bats. So initial army make up is of a few zombies for holding positons with skeleton warriors and spearmen for holding the line against the enemy. and fell bats or crypt ghouls for flanking or slapping enemy ranged units.

During the beginning fights your lord is your biggest strength unless you have kemmler who is fucking useless. Keep your lord close to the key points of battle to keep morale as high as possible and prevent crumbling. Use invocation of nehek like a mother fucker and if you are feeling a little ballsy or the opportunity arises spawn skeleton warriors behind the enemies main line to get a flanking/routing bonus against that line.

Once you get access to the heavy hitters the vampire counts shine. terrogheists are good monster killers and tanks since they have AP and anti-large. blood knights are great cavalry though the spooky skeleton ones are very nice and cheaper. grave guard are your front line. crypt horrors are nice infantry killers especially if they flank. the corpse cart and mortis engine are very useful for regenerating people or passively damaging your opponent.

The one unit I still don't fully know are the ethereal cavalry and infantry the vampire counts get. They are really hit or miss for me but they are fun to use. hexwraiths are decent anti-cav and flankers same as cairn wraiths. but you would only bring 1-2 of each since if the opponent has magic or fire they melt like butter.

>>160902734
The ethereal units are fine, probably not worth the cost over ordinary units fine, but they're still okay.
They're THE invocation of nehek target though.

>>160901304
I think I understand this, thanks.

>>160902058
>>160902734
This is also useful, thanks. I'm like 40 turns in with Vladimir and while i'm surviving i'm not the strongest empire yet, and it feels like i'm poor as shit. I have Vladimir for taking out the enemy and I have two smaller armies to help defend my provinces but I feel eternally broke.

>>160902936

>but I feel eternally broke.

a good idea to make decent cash flow as vampire counts is to make eastern Sylvania your only military hub and make anything else conquered an economic hub first.

Always get your smaller settlements to the third tier and get walls since then you won't have to keep an army there to defend them. so always get the building that boosts your population growth first unless you are desperate for a different building. The Siege AI will wait a few turns giving you time to maneuver your primary army to go back and help the besieged settlement.

if you're lucky the AI won't tend to fuck with you and then you can just pick your targets and blitz their settlements and sue for a quick peace.

also always use the boost tax edict since you need all the money.

Does "No DLC for DLC" mean Chaos and Beastmen won't get Regiments of Renown?

>>160903587
Unless they get it in a FLC update that comes with other DLC, no.

>>160903587
No one has provided the source of the "no DLC for DLC" claim. If it's the case, then >>160903782
is probably right.

>>160903587

if they follow that no DLC for DLC policy they might just add really big updates for DLC factions in the expansions or as FLC.

Though I am hopeful that in the third expansion that is supposed to be all about chaos gods n shit that they will get a super powered version of ROR involving the four chaos gods.

Do you think they'll ever add Age of Sigmar elements to the game? Like as a mini campaign or something.

Unless he knew everything that was to happen and actually wanted AoS. Then he's far, far worse and on par with the Chaos Gods for malevolence.

He also just possesses based Karl, who is a better Emperor than Sigmar could ever hope to be.

I'd fucking go on a grail cuck quest for some elf bitch than offer anything to Shitmar.

But in all the settings with gods, Archaon's fedora tipping is well justified with worthless autistic losers like Sigmar masquerading as gods.

keep charles at home while his wifes son leads the armies then anon ;)
I had such a fun danes campaign, my King ended up being ancient and grizzled, nearly 70. He got surrounded and outmanned in some forsaken arabic cultured city and fought off tripple doomstacks after doomstacks while his 3 sons desperately tried to get to him
he died when his eldest son was one turn away, he was the only one left in the army that must have put down 15 stacks turn after turn, So I waited him in the centre of the city and charged him into the enemy, the old bastard singlehandedly took down like 6 guys before those scum firing into their own troops killed him.
I burned the every city belonging to that fucker to the ground. I destroyed every army he had, then in a pass I ambushed him as he was fleeing with the 3 sons of my badass old king Knurl. I renamed the city that my king had died and I renamed the old capital of the enemy king to the folly of his name.
then I abandoned that city and left it razed.

GW won't allow them to put orcs or humans in the Beastmen minicampaign as playable options because Khazrak won that campaign in the lore

Same reason apparently why Beastmen, Orcs and Bretonnians will be unplayable in the wood elves campaign- but they have two wood elf factions instead of one to try and spice it up

I suppose not, but the ability to play both sides of a battle where won canonically wins is something even I cannot believe.
If it represented Toddbringer never losing his eye and threatening sales of their One-Eyed Toddbringer model™ then I could see them doing something. As it is I can't.

Better fucking be something good. Who cares about Wurrzag when the elves are just around the corner?

I wonder how hard would it be to mod that.
I mean Dwarfs, Greenskins, Beastmen and Norsca can just use the same units as in vanilla with a few units removed that didn't exist during the time of Sigmar.
I don't know if Nagash's army would look more like Vamp counts or Tomb Kangz.
Sigmar and the rest of the humans would need new rosters. I wonder if it'd be hard to port Atilla into WH.
Also I wonder if there's enough information of Estalia, Bretonnia, Tilea and the Border Princes during that time period.

>Got plans at 4pm GMT

Well shit.

So waystalkers can pin a unit in place and make them take more damage from missiles without costing any winds of magic

How can light wizards even compete?

>>160912085
>GW won't allow them to put orcs or humans in the Beastmen minicampaign as playable options because Khazrak won that campaign in the lore

Source for this? They let you play as everyone else in the grand campaign when that had a clear winner.

>>160913456
Wouldn't have too much KANGZ influence, it'd probably need a ton more animations though. He's kinda undeath in its entirety. He raised EVERYTHING, whereas KANGZ are a group who happen to be undead, and the vampires happen to only really fight humans

>>160913297
variant editor pls

>>160913520

Light wizards can pin more than one unit?

Thanks CA...

>>160912361
Empire generals are pretty over the top, there's no way they could kill a warboss on a Wyvern or Mannfred on a zombie dragon in TT. Havign said that Skaven will really piss you off, 5'5" ratmen assassins soloing High Elf Kings and chaos champions is enshrined in canon.

>>160913643
I thought it'd have made the Empire a lot more thematic and interesting if they didn't have a superhero they could lean on. I have no problem with Grimgor or Kholek or even Thorgrim cutting through hordes of enemies, but Karl Franz should mostly give morale buffs and command abilities.

>>160913536
End Times is irrelevant in the context of Total Warhammer

>>160913742

Should've given the Empire generals a bodyguard, like other TW games.

>>160913886
Maybe a couple of elite guards instead of 20+ people

>>160913886
Nah maneuverability of units is too weird when dealing with specific characters like Lords. Could give them permanently attached heroes as bodyguard units or something that don't take up unit slots maybe.

I don't really mind it as it is.

>>160913886
>>160913918
You know with the Generals and Agents having a mount specific option in their stat screens you'd think it would be easy enough to have a body guard option too.

Like you start off with none and then either earn them with levels or by investing into a skill chain.

>>160913816
Yes, considering you prevent it.

How's that for canon. It's obvious GW don't care about multiple playable factions if it lets them go against canon.

So where's that source I asked for?

>>160914335

>Yes, considering you prevent it.

The Chaos invasion in this game is not The End Times, it's a bastardized amalgam of The Storm of Chaos and original content

>>160914030
>Could give them permanently attached heroes as bodyguard units or something that don't take up unit slots maybe.


Good idea for a mod
Someone get on it

>>160914371
Exactly, the storm of chaos isn't canon either reinforcing the fact that canon doesn't matter in TWWH. Are you even disputing what i've said?

So yeah, that source.

>>160913816
well we don't know if they will want to borrow some of the End Times assets which I expect they have permissions for seeing as it is basically 8th. They might as well throw in Nagash for example, and some of the ET models are the most updated for some heroes like Thanquol and Arkhan.

>hey man I'm not that guy, don't argue man
>hurr hurr you mad though?

kys

So Empire and Medieval are the only TW games that run on my current toaster, what are the best (performance-friendly) mods for each?

>>160914483
>I'll tell him he's mad
>I still haven't posted a source.
>I keep trying to dispute him but keep agreeing.

I don't see what's to be mad about bro ;)

>>160914593
Third Age for Medieval probably with Divide and Conquer submod. Darth is ok for Empire but don't expect much. Also unlocking America from 1800 is pretty fun.

>>160913886
fun fact, check the first TWW gameplay (battle at blackfire pass), Grimgor has his own Immortulz bodyguards
