So once the 8th comes (and the stupidly long download process for this game finishes), what campaign are you going to do first?

I was thinking of getting the Mini-campaign over with as Orion and then moving onto a grand campaign with Durthu personally.

Then after that do a Beastmen one with Morghur just to get the achievement for finishing a Grand Campaign as the Beastmen (since when they first came out that achievement was bugged for some fucking reason).

To be fair though, he did end up causing them a shit ton of grief and suffering, with Ariel even going full on batshit resulting in the death of one of the most sane Treemen Ancients. He's half the reason why Durthu stopped caring for the elves as much, just indirectly.

He himself isn't much of a threat, but the corruption and the desperate actions they make in response to him is what makes him so dangerous.

sure he causes problems, but he's also the best the Beastmen got, and causing inconveniences to Wood Elves isn't really that much to boast of.

Just finished my Maratha campaign on the Empire and by Tengri it was easy. Just kick the door and the Mughal Empire comes crushing down. Finish Mysore, establish trade and expand into maritime trading areas. Then go to Americas, send your armies to Persia and conquer the Ottomans. After that you can steamroll Europe. Indian units are worse than Europeans but it doesn't matter when there's 3 Indian armies against 1 European.

germanic cavalry

Cheap, fast, good enough hammer to route most infantry lines from behind, and in multiplayer it's the most cost-efficient cavalry unit with upgrades that are actually worth getting. The noble germanic cav is slow as shit and not worth the almost double upkeep. You'll need some for the Huns though, as germanic cav will get absolutely raped by nokkors and shit

I really do hope the Old World Edition introduces some changes to the vanilla races. It really does seem to be a case of them playing it safe in hindsight; with them thinking going to far will make the game unbalanced. But it's pretty fucking clear now that the playerbase doesn't really care much about balanced stuff, as long as the shit is unique and fits the flavor of the lore.

They keep mentioning how they are too busy to revisit the Old Stuff since they are already focusing on making more new content (with the main team making the second Warhammer game, and another for the DLC), but I don't think it will be too much to divert a few people to see if they can spice up the vanilla content a bit.

And considering they've included literally whos like Ghorst and the Bordeaux guy, I'm sure they can do other shit. Like say give Kemmler another quest battle to get his flying cape, or other little additions.

Also I hope they update the voice lines too, it was pretty disappointing to not have any interesting responses playing as the Beastmen at the diplomacy screen. You'd think that such a minor thing wouldn't have been overlooked what with how much attention to detail could be found in other parts of the game.

>kill tens of thousands of them every Spring

Beastmen are LITERALLY kept around for entertainment.

And "The Best they got" isn't quite accurate, Orion is probably the most capable combatant in the World, with being a Demi God and all, but most Wood Elf business is done on a voluntary basis, the vast majority of Asrai just doesn't care if some stray goat got lost in Athel Loren.

And if you don't count the End Times Skubfest, neither should anyone have a reason to be worried for Athel Loren.

>>161104720
Archaon is canonically the strongest since he gets the blessing of all the gods and shit. Though Nagash can match him, especially once he went and eat a death god during the End Times.

In terms of combatants Orion is pretty up there being an avatar of a God and all. But other characters like Settra could probably give him a run for his money.

But power levels in general with Warhammer has always been a mostly pointless conversation. Since each armybook will play up their forces as being the best things ever. Hence why the Chaos Knights, Grail Knights, and Blood Knights all say they are the greatest in the whole world.

>>161105758
We've known from pretty much the start that the Regiments of Renown would just be simple reskins visually though? They are just supposed to be slightly different flavors of existing units after-all. Not to mention people buy that pack for the new units and LLs rather than the RoR.

>>
>>161109674
Grenades are a bit too situational so generally not worth it, but the normal ones are good as long as you micro them a bit. Use them for kiting infantry, attacking artillery or monsters, and shooting stuff in the back when the lines clash. They're useful for running down routers as well, because they're fast.

Just make their lore of vampire spells better than the vampire lord equivalents unless the vampire lord specs into magic heavily, but master necromancers should still have the edge on spellcasting since vampire lords are better in every other regard

My god warhammer is a complete clusterfuck. How do so many people praise it like it's one of the best Total War games. Granted charges finally feel good again and the faction variety is a real blessing.
Battles are real mixed bag. They last for 5 - 10 minutes at the most. And what's with these broken ass hero units. They feel like bugs. I rout the entire enemy army and then spend 3 minutes on fast forward watching my units fight the enemy general and losing valuable units to them. Alternatively I can try to kite him with my melee units and shoot at him with my ranged units. Just now I was bombarding some chaos general with 4 irondrakes, 3 quarrelers, 2 cannons, 2 Thunderers, 2 gyrocoptres all the while trying to keep him from my melee units. It took like one and a half minute and he ate all that shit up like it's nothing. That was one of the worst moments in Total War I've ever experienced. I literally shook my head in disbelief. Holy shit.

The problem with heroes and lords is that they don't really have any good ways to deal with them in a way that doesn't involve either throwing your own heroes and lords at them or kiting them with ranged units (that have AP damage). Garrisons can get fucked by a single lord and lords are fast enough to catch most units on foot.

I've gone back to Attila.

I miss town battles and actual full scale sieges, I miss the brilliant escalation system and the fire effects, I miss battles that take more than 10 minutes, I miss the emergent aspects of the game like getting a great faction leader and family, assassinating bastard children and securing offices for my favourite family members. There's just not enough emergent stuff going on in WH, not enough strategic complexity at all and siege battles are a shadow of what we're used to as total war fans.

I'll still come back to WH to check out DLC and whatnot as it comes out. Always fun trying a new faction, new LL quests and units, but as a good total war game in comparison to games like Attila, it just doesn't cut it for me. Too much has been sacrificed for the faction/unit variety in my eyes and like you say, even with all that wonderful unit/faction variety, battles too often boil down to an arcadey clusterfuck.

>>161111028
>chaos general with 4 irondrakes, 3 quarrelers, 2 cannons, 2 Thunderers, 2 gyrocoptres

Well thats just a flat out lie.

Lords drop like flies to elite units, and ranged spam will defiantly drop a lord.

A unit of demi gryph knights will halberd, or blood knights can solo most lords.
>>
>>161111161
>>161111385

That's how I usually went about it. But if every battle is supposed to remove both generals from the equation, by just running them into each other and let them duke it out somewhere, I really can't say I am fond of this design decision.

>>161111402
This may be true, but my point is that it looks absolutely ridiculous and the only thing it accomplishes is ruin the immersion and makes maneauvering units in battle just more sluggish.

>>161111452
I guess I needed 5 more cannons to stop him dead in his tracks.

A combat hero can usually duck it out with a lord if backed up by troops.

So you don't necessarily need to remove your general.

CA made a lot of weird choices with stats that we can see. For some reason, Wildwood Rangers have 60 armor, despite just being elves in cloaks.

On the other hand, Glade Riders have a spear in tabletop, and with high weapon skill and always strikes first can manage a pretty decent charge, especially for bow cavalry. Here they are about on par with Goblin Wolf Riders though, with much worse weapon damage and charge bonus than wardancers even though they are both using asrai spears.

I doubt it. The reason it was so good in Attila was because, well, the era Attila is set in is known for razing settlements all over the place, so of course it was one of the focal points in design.

Meanwhile settings like Warhammer do have razing, but to a much lesser degree of importance compared to stuff like how diverse the factions are, and the lore.

yearly reminder that putting missile infantry on a slope like this with artillery at the top and infantry at the bottom of the hill is objectively the best way to use them and creating a monstrously effective barrage of fire, and since the entire enemy army runs straight at your artillery, you can go heavy on your flanks and easily surround them.
>>
>>161115574
I like it well enough. None of the lords pop out as too strong or too weak. Only two bugs I've noticed so far, though. My friend sent a blood dragon lord up a ladder in a siege, and the lord died right after he got done climbing. The other is that mounts will sometimes mess with the unit portrait for the lord(s).

First thing you should do is get some skinless chicken breast and boil it for about fifteen minutes and feed the pupper the chicken once it is thoroughly cooked. Then if you don't think you can handle the responsibility or are not allowed pets find your local humane society chapter or a friend who can and is willing to keep it. Ask /an/ for further advice. DO NOT FEED IT GRAPES OR CHOCOLATE AS THEY ARE TOXIC TO DOGS.

So we've already gone through the major issues we think Warhammer has quite a bit in these threads. But if they were to find the time to go over the vanilla content again, what small changes or minor details that aren't necessary but would you like to see added?

Personally, while I do like the quest battle speeches, I would like to see speeches similar to what they have in Rome II and Atilla for the generic Lords. Small ones that differ depending on the enemy you're fighting, with that Lord maybe having different lines depending on his traits (like maybe an Empire Lord badmouthing Dwarfs if he has the trait for that). Just because I feel like the Legendary Lords have a lot of character, while I don't really feel like that attached to regular Lords like I would in previous games.

Also just having more dialogue in the diplomacy screen in general. Having the Faction Leaders talk to Beastmen like they were normal diplomats was sad to see.

This so much, I know those animations annoyed people for massed combat, but I still feel like they would be great for the Lords.

>>161130265
Their reasoning was that people complained about them slowing down combat, and messing with retreats.

Which is dumb considering nobody except the people who wanted e-sports with the game (for some bloody reason) complained (which resulted in removing tier 1 sync kills in DoW II). And the fact that they also removed the retreat mechanic from III also.

The way Relic is handling that game actually does make me want to see Creative Assembly try their hand at 40k instead. It doesn't have to be a Total War style strategy game, just as long as it isn't as eye-irritating as DoW III has become.

I have no idea what I did to deserve this loyalty from the Border Princes and Barak Varr. Of their own accord they decided to send a total of five armies deep into greenskin territory and rape pillage and murder their way to the Misty Mountain. Never once gave them a war coordination target or even ask them to join my wars.

To top it all off it was on very hard and Wurrzag and Grimgor decided it was more important to kill each other than our three combined armies.

Archers are extremely deadly in S2, and well worth investing in. At least a moderate navy as the Choskabe can be a good thing, to keep your trade lanes clear and prevent wankers from landing on your island.

How the heck do I play as the beastmen? I'm not quite sure what to do as a horde faction.. Do I just raid around where I start at? What exactly do I do to remain relevant? The one time I tried playing beastman I just got routed and killed in the area I started at...

Can someone enlighten me on the benefits of tributary states in Age of Charlie Man?

Playing as England, and decided to take a more hands-off approach in conquering Spain, so I started by taking one province and have been working my way around, making all the factions my tributaries.

But they barely pay a tribute, they build armies and roam around my borders suspiciously (even the friendly ones), and more often than not I need to wreck every one of their settlements to get them to accept vassalage in the first place.

So, is there any good reason not to occupy every settlement I conquer?
>>
>>161141836
If you decide to not mod that horrible uncapped corruption just vassalizing will make city management easier I guess.

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.

They really need to release mapping mod tools for Warhammer. even if you could only use in game models the community would come out with far better maps.

I don't even mind the current siege set up but in it's current state it's too limited, it needs those Attila features and much deeper maps.

Honestly you don't even need to do a whole city. I actually like the current set up as it does make it feel like you're fighting in a part of a much bigger city.

The main issue is it's more like your fighting in a suburb than a section of a city. Like with that map you posted, if they gave you a play area of about 1/4 of it that, I think would be more than enough to make a big difference.
>>
>>161148128
If you want to complain about DLC, mention other things like:

>Why the fuck does (faction here) have RoR units? I don't own that DLC. This is bullshit.

By the way, the Empire will have RoR units when you fight them. Have fun.

No it isn't. If you don't own a unit pack, the units in the pack shouldn't exist in your game at all. No G&G? No RoRs, no free company, no mortis engine, etc. If I do not own a unit pack, there is probably a good reason for it (don't want it at all, don't have the money, etc), so I don't want to see the fucking units on my side nor do I want to see them on the enemy side.

Yeah, so just you have those off map cosmetics to make it feel bigger than it is. if that makes sense?

Personally if they can do that and implement those features from Attila I'd be more than happy with sieges. I just hope it's something they'll do or at least look back on for the next expansion/game.

If you don't like it, just buy the DLC. As for me, I'd prefer that the Empire and VC NPC factions don't get any new units nor any RoRs since I don't own that DLC. I'd like it very much if I start an Empire game and not see a fucking free company and flagellant spam from the rebels and Marienburg. Spearmen and swordmen spam will do me just fine.

I'm pretty sure he is well above your average Chaos Lord considering he slaughtered a fair number of devoted champions before he even got any of his overpowered as fuck artifacts. If he wasn't strong in personal combat he wouldn't have been able to obtain them and go through his trials by the Gods in the first place.

Sure Mr. Whining First Prince of Chaos, was behind a lot of it, but it was still up to Archaon himself to earn the title of Everhosen in the eyes of the Gods.

What's the easiest start in Attila Grand Campaign? I just bought it and I'm getting my dick ripped off even on normal. I just need a smooth start to learn the game.

tbqh familia, the Rome 2/Attila/WH province system was a mistake.

Shogun 2 had province management down correctly.
>>
>>161159554
I wish they made a medium between the two.

I don't mind limited buildings since it means you have to plan put your empire, and prefer the modern maps being split into regions.

It would be cool to have unlimited armies again that did not require generals though.

I wonder if the new game will have matched combat again or not, it works well with warhammers method but Attila had some great animations that made it feel a lot more life like.
>>
>>161159759
Depends on what DLC you have

It's pretty easy to compare them. The series has barely changed over a span of 16 years.
>>
>>161159907
All of it

>>161159759
Vikings, Frank's, Saxons, or Goths.

Only problem with the Goths are dealing with Huns.

Anyone one close to Spain or England are easiest, Frank's have amazing units and Vikings/Norse have easiest start but shot low tier units.
>>
>>161159759
Try the Ostrogoths for a horde experience or the Alamanii.

>>161159887
I wish that it wasn't literally limited buildings, just increasing costs if you tried to stuff in too much before you had enough development.
Like, I should be able to build literally everything in Rome, just make the next slot require 10 pop, the next require 15, the next require 20 or something, or make it so that you require 10 pop for each one but you need to pay double for each extra slot, so the 7th slot costs 2x, the 8th 4x, etc.

>>161159917

Probably, the only thing they have to worry about for historical combat animations is what weapons are being used and whether the unit is mounted or not rather than the vastly different sizes and shapes that there are in warhammer.

>>
>>161160106

>>
>>161160085
The only problem I can see with that is the fact you can just turtle and make every region give you shut loads of money, impossible to beat the garrison and be able to recruit every unit in the game.

It makes it a bit to easy in campaign and promotes turtling.
>>
>>161152810
It has a bunch of flaws that annoy the hell out of me, and I'm too competitive to use mods that make it "easier."

-Bullshit fertility system, where the entire world eventually becomes completely infertile and only one of the 3 types of farms is actually viable, which is annoying as barbarian factions considering some of their most cost-efficient lancer cav is made available by the wheat fields. This is utterly ahistorical and the fucking snow attrition is fucking annoying until you level up your armies to have resistance to it, which takes like 10 battles btw, at at that point you're neglecting the upgrade tree that gives you better replenishment and movement range.
-Samey-feeling factions, where there's basically only 5 types of factions copy and pasted everywhere: roman, barbarian, steppe, desert shits, and jews. You'll quickly grow tired of fighting your 4th identical barbar faction, or your 4th identical steppe tribe, or your 4th slightly-more-varied-but-still-samey desert tribe, or your 500th roman separatist or rebel faction on top of the two major roman empires you have to deal with. (Recent updates have made the ERE particularly strong, to the point where they tend to hold on to massive amounts of territory and successfulyl beat back or conquer the sassykids and present themselves as a viable end-game threat after the Huns. Early builds always had the sassykids taking over the east with their satraps, but now the Romans have a fighting chance. I think the White Huns did a lot to occupy the eastern shits, giving the romans more breathing room.)
-Mandatory province meta builds that literally cannot be altered in the slightest way from the singular way you can actually successfully set up a province on VH/Legendary, this is especially hurtful to barbarian factions that don't benefit from Roman sanitation. You'll find province-building extremely tedious and repetitive, as you build the same province 50 times over with only resources mixing it up.
>>
>>161160187
>Guaranteed Major Faction Empires
Makes it so that literally who's don't kill Rome on turn 3, or Carthage get salted by African goatfuckers on turn 10. It means you can play a far off faction, and still have late game fun.
>Rome: Total War Music
Rome 2's soundtrack was absolutely awful. This is a straight upgrade.
>Roma II: Total War Camera Mod
Quality of life. Lets you zoom further out, and further in, in battle.
>>
>>161160295
>I'm too competitive to use mods that make it "easier."
What the fuck?

>>161160290
Just have the garrison have a limited number of slots, or something like
>base garrison: Comitatensis, Legio, Legio, Sagitarii, Sagitarii, [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ]
So that the last four are things you need to personally recruit and the first five are just the basic garrison.

>turtling
As far as that being a problem, well, turtling won't work in the long run as long as you make raiding more of a problem, since the enemy can take the gold from raiding and develop their provinces faster than you.
>>
>>161160559
>What the fuck?


Feels like cheating. This game may be Artificial Difficulty: Total War, but it's less of an accomplishment to beat it by actually fixing the game, as hilarious as that is. It's got a special niche place in my heart for a certain type of masochist pleasure.
>>
>>161160741
Who the fuck cares if you're 'cheating' in a singleplayer game as long as you're having more fun and not comparing your accomplishments to people who didn't 'cheat'? Is installing FotE cheating if you're more used to the big unit sizes and the adjusted balancing whether you're playing as Rome or the Vandals?
I mean, I guess you ARE having fun this way, but I don't see why you're complaining about it unless it's the same way people complain about DS being hard.
>>
>>161160881
would you honestly recommend that someone use mods on their first playthrough without experiencing the vanilla game first and seeing for themselves what the pros and cons are and what should be changed?

You should always win a campaign vanilla before doing anything else. Never try a mod before playing vanilla, it just annoys me that the game requires mods to fix these problems and playing a mod before finishing vanilla is fucking nonsense.
>>
>>161161139
Yes.

Not that guy but yes. There are mods that fix bugs CA never bothered to address, and others that flat out improve the experience. There's no point playing vanilla in any of these games besides maybe the S2 series.

>would you honestly recommend that someone use mods on their first playthrough without experiencing the vanilla game first and seeing for themselves what the pros and cons are and what should be changed?
There are certain mods that you should recommend on a new playthrough, especially if they're explicitly asking what they should play.
SkyUI / the USKP bundle for Skyrim, InfoAddict for Civ V, and BUG for Civ IV are some that I can think of. There's also no real reason to not play CK2+ / HIP or HPM right away, since they're purely Vanilla+ and do literally everything better.
QoL and Unofficial Patches the ones there's no reason to not install, Vanilla+ is generally safe to recommend. The ones you don't recommend are overhauls, since that's just not the same game and usually a lot harder.

MTW is still the best game in the series. Mods only make it better.

Not him but there's basically no mod for S2 that unequivocally makes it better, which is what I think he meant.

Besides blood it depends on if you want to play the faction or not. The newer are better as a rule, but if you're really into vikings there's nothing wrong with them either.

For the campaign packs Charlemagne is alright but the base game is much better. I never really enjoyed the last roman.

You don't need to, you can knock out one of the Celts and a german faction literally turn 1 and roman city defense is ungodly so if the Saxons or Franks attack you by sea you can hurl them back into the ocean just with the garrison.

CA cut corners to make more money and we allow them to do it because the product is still worth it. I'd much rather they spent resources to fix those things but even without them I still bought the game and will still buy dlc. They know that so they don't have any incentive outside of pride in a job well done.

They're amoral jews and we're good goys, basically. They could add a "premium animations" dlc but I think the backlash would be so large that it wouldn't be economically feasible.

Irrelevant, CoD has plenty of awards too.

Goy 4 is terrible in every respect and everyone but the most diehard paradox fans and '''reviewers''' who play for two hours and have never touched strategy before and get a fat check to write good stuff.
DOTA is cancerous shit.
Skyrim is good, if you have mods, but the base game is buggy and unstable with disgusting UI and is really good for only the exploration, which is actually good.
Fallout 1 I never said was bad, I'm simply asking if you actually mean Fallout 1 or just used it as a placeholder for the entire series.
Doom is good.
Rome II is somewhat fixed but completely overshadowed by Attila, which is unfortunate.
AoW III is legit.

sassanids

your empire is swaddled in a warm blanket of loyal vassal states who feed you money. you also have a faction bonus to sanitation and solid fertility in the homeland, so you're in a pretty good position with regards to three of the fiddly empire-management things. also you're not in the path of the huns. it's a pretty comfy faction to start with.

alternatively, if you want to start small, play as the suebians and settle in spain. the WRE won't put up much of a fight and you are well sheltered behind the pyrenees.

The WRE has better troops, better garrisons, better buildings, better positioning, etc. Once money is no longer a factor for ERE you wish you could trade your economic advantage for the military and stability advantages of the WRE. Basically you don't need all that that money and the WRE just has flat out better armies and settlements.

gotta wait for them to bunch up all in the same place so your hammer hits their whole army. Also you absolutely have to kill their general before the big charge, also using your cavalry to lure units towards towers is effective, good way to weaken an enemy cavalry unit that is chasing your cavalry

also you eventually get those ambush troops, praeventores or whatever, that are also decent as a hammer.

>>161167785
Thanks for the offer, but I was going to wait until the DLC cycle is completely over before getting it.

>>161168126
it's cringy as fuck*

>>161168134
Yeah dude!!! The only skeleton rigs for every single unit in the game is just upscaled dogs and humans!!!! XDDD
>>
>>161168134
>muh skeletons
is a meme
most units just have generic attack/death animations like an RTS

Did you forget the second half of your sentence? Nevermind >>161168236.
Do they? I wouldn't know, as I've literally never been to reddit unless specifically linked there for a guide or it showed up on a google search. Or tumblr, or twitter, for that matter.

To me it sounds so fucking retarded that I can't imagine a situation where it would see use unironically, and at any rate kneejerking this hard to suspected reddit is kind of off-kilter, since that's not even how you sperg at newfags, you're supposed to meme them to oblivion if not just ignore them.

Different anon, loving these screenshots and would like more.

Also, do Austrian troops in LME have their cool crested helmets or are they top hats like everyone else?

adoption, assassination, marriage, slander, charge a popular general into a barbar horde

make sure your emperor is a governor, long term it gives a shitton of gravitas without any risk of death
>>
>>161168134
well for a start they produce every animation in the game, so for Kislev to use that example they'd have to create a bear and produce ALL it's animations.
>>
>>161167107
pls respondo

>>161167107
Use regular shot at a distance since it has the most range, build ironclads, and use other shot types when you move closer. Some ironclads have frontal guns you can use while going forward.

>>161167961
I always have a lot more trouble losing power. Just adopt the most powerful other patrician general.

I'm not sure. I've never killed Austrians.

They might though, the mod has several campaigns that all start in different years and troops uniforms change to reflect what year it is. For example, in the earlier campaigns Prussian troops start off wearing tricorns but later they use shakos.

Forgot to mention that Austrian cav (and plenty of other nations cav) have crested hats. Infantry doesn't have them as much but some do for sure.

Lets look at the skeletons that are in warhammer at the moment (including DLC) and compare them with Atilla, shall we?

Warhammer:
>normal humans (lets assume that chaos and regular humans are basically the same and that most undead are the same)
>horses (ignoring pegasus)
>demigryphs
>gryphons (manticores and hippogryphs share similar animations)
>dragons
>Orcs
>gobbos
>wolves and doggos
>Arachnarok and other spiders
>chaos spawn
>dragon ogres
>giants (including cygors although they may be different)
>vargulfs
>vargheists
>terrorgheists
>bats
>crypt horrors/crypt ghouls
>minotaurs
>ungors
>gors and bestigors
>boars
>squigs
>dwarfs
>wyverns
>magical chariots like corpse carts, mortis engine and so on
>Miscellaneous stuff like the steam tank, hellcannon

Meanwhile, in Atilla
>Normal humans
>Horses
>Camels
>Elephants

But, the point is that there's as much variety in a single warhammer faction than there is in the entirety of previous games, and so skeletons can't be reused very often between factions in warhammer.
>>
>>161168331
Well, wouldn't Kislev just be humans and bears, who can be cheaply approximated by upscaled dogs?
I'm thinking from a designer's point of view and how I would cut costs if I could, I don't know what they actually do since I don't own the game.

>>161168772
But could you not use the skeleton to approximate those animatons, then tweak shit like its roar individually? That's a pretty common technique to save time when working with semisimilar models and animations.
I'm not him, I don't know shit about Warhammer proper.

>>161169409
Why don't they use human skeletons for the giants and minotaurs, do they have that many different areas?

Why are Irondrakes weak against armour?
Isn't being boiled alive inside your armour pretty uncomfortable?

>knowing arch's talking points

>>161169636
Minotaurs have retrograde legs and a different physiology in general, so that's not really possible
Giants are proportioned a bit differently than humans but it might be possible
>>
>>161169898
Oh okay I see.
>>
>>161168134
>>161168331
>>161168598
I'm more irked that Kislev, Tillia, Estalia, and Border Princes all have the exact same stuff as Empire when CA did a million different variations of minor factions with some unique stuff in Medieval and Empire.
>>
>>161170085
Well that boat sailed long ago to be honest
I forget about S2 since every faction was the same to begin with, but wasn't every minor faction in R2 literally just a generic one of the appropriate culture?
>>
>>161165564
not OP but very solid
>gorilla warfare
>not pistoleer-tier ranged damage
>capable in melee
>fast
they are great at flanking and shooting backs, or charging in to break units
>>
>>161167352
>humans
>short humans
there you go, all TWW factions which use reloading ranged weapons (guns and/or crossbows)

Stop pulling >muh skeletons when it's completely irrelevant

>pulling data out of your ass

here's the actual skeletons
>ba (Bats)
>bc (Gryphon/Demigryph, Hippogriph and Manticore)
>bi (Wyvern and Terrorgheist)
>bo (Boar / razorgor)
>ce (Dragon ogres and Centigors)
>dr (Dragons)
>gh (Cairn wraiths, banshees and ghosts)
>hc (Chaos Spawns)
>hr (Horses / Pegasi)
>hu (shitton of humans and variations: humans, chaos humans, lord of change, cygor, minotaurs, females, dwarfs, orcs, gors and similar, ungors, goblins, crypt horrors / ghouls and trolls)
>rp (squigs)
>sk (Skarsnik)
>sp (spiders)
>throne (Thorgrim and runelord)
>wf (wolfs and dogs)

>>161171470
none of those needs any "weapon reload" animation, only humans and dwarfs use them
>>
>>161171978

They use the Human skeleton for Dorfs? Wtf?

You know Shogun 2 had unit packs right? The best thing about those unit packs is that NO ONE used those new units if YOU didn't have the unit packs. I never saw Oda used long yari until I actually bought the DLC.

>>161150543
Why should NPCs get to use units that you don't want in your game?

Wonder if they did it because of how fast handgunners actually shoot. They could have least added an undetailed and really fast reload animation. The crossbow reload animation is actually pretty detailed.
