Kick Skarsnik's shit in early on (turn 20-30), build wall and start hauling ass to K8P. A spooky thane can help with public order, but you want both of them with you for important battles. Also, get breweries and refectories.
Basically, go fast.

You.

Yes, you. The one screaming, “There’s no campaign depth!” and “Creative Assembly are fucking jews!” and other slurs I dare not mention.

Tread lightly.

You are one. We are hundreds, thousands. Millions. You aren’t just IN the minority; you ARE the minority.

I don’t feel awkward or anxious playing Total Warhammer around others, and your words don’t affect me. Many others, however, are coming out of their shells for the first time in their lives. This is the first time many are enjoying the beautiful world that has been carefully copied for us – and it IS beautiful. Incredibly so. DON’T ruin this for them. We Total Warhammer fans may have our differences, but we will not hesitate to come to the aid of our fellow sons of sigmar, especially against someone who so virulently slurs that which has brought us all together.

Don’t take this the wrong way. I don’t hate you. I don’t fear you.

I pity you.

I’m sorry that you feel this way towards us. I’m sorry that Total Warhammer is such a bane to your existence. And I’m sorry that you are missing out on such a wonderful experience. Mostly, though, I’m sorry that you feel the need to go around and publicly chastise and berate others. I’m sorry that, to ensure your own validity, you need to make others feel invalid. I’m sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel whole. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life.

I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary cries for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Uninstall Medieval 1, start up Total Warhammer, and breathe in the splendour and the amazement of your first trollerhammer torpedo, and then, maybe, just maybe, you’ll see what you’ve been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.

The same reason he thinks creating unique villages for 20 factions in Warhammer is as easy as creating the 5 presets in Attila.

>>161176312
Take at least 4 artillery pieces in every army.

>>161176312
Finish a campaign then try either Darthmod or LME

Artillery is good. Howitzers are godly. "Force Squares" on line infantry by doing feigned charges with cavalry, and then shoot the square with your line and artillery. If they don't square then just keep charging, cavalry will wreck line infantry in a frontal charge if they're not in a square, so you dont have to worry about flanking. Charging into a line infantry, and then dragging your cavalry through to more line infantry, prevents every soldier from firing in those units until the horses are dead or routed, meaning your line will keep shooting while their line doesn't. This is an excellent way to sacrifice a shitty cav unit and rout an entire line.

Also skirmishers are important, if you eliminate the enemy cavalry then you can pick their infantry apart and leave them a skeleton of what they were by the time they reach your line, assuming they haven't already routed from the combined fire of your skirmishers, line infantry, and artillery. Also skirmishers can crouch in front of your line infantry, creating even more overlapping firepower.

NET OF AMYNTOK

>>161176571
kek

>>161176312
If you want simple wins, you bring two regular artillery pieces, 3-4 howitzers, 4 heavy cavalry and line infantry (mix in guards if you're feeling fancy) for the rest

Line up your infantry with the two regular artillery pieces inside the line, howitzer behind, and two heavy cav on either side. The wider your line is, the more men can fire once the enemy approaches

Manually aim your artillery when you have the time: Select the cannon, and right click in front of where you want it to shoot. If it aims at specific regiments, it will aim at the extreme edge of it and get minimal hits

What's the best WH faction for fielding meat shield infantry and a fuck load of a ranged/artillery units?

>>161177786
Dwarfs.

>>161177474
depends on the unit you're recruiting in that province. Optimal Shogun 2 campaign strategy is to dedicate entire city's to churning out top-notch units for each role. For instance, in an otomo campaign, I'll move the nanban port to my more-northern city so that my tercios get golden accuracy. The next location where I can get golden charge, I specialize the province to pump out some no-dachis or cavalry. Then when I find a province to set up golden armor for my mainline infantry, which need to having staying power to hold the line, usually yari ashigaru/samurai, etc. Golden weapons for normal samurai swordsmen

You might think you want to get upgrades that make up for the deficiencies of your units, but that's stupid. Upgrade what a unit is good at and use it for what it is good at. It's actually a really fun way to design the campaign map because you have to strategically map out where you need to conquer for resources and choose which upgrades are most valuable to your specific faction's strengths.

They are supposed to be a Cavalry heavy race, but in actual gameplay their infantry and ranged units are better choices from a cost effective standpoint.

Plus a few bugs and CA giving them a bit of a boost to make up for a lack of the full roster.

the Roman unit distinctions are retarded though, why not just stick to historical divisions? None of this "comitatenses spears" or "eastern armored legio" and what the fuck is a "western auxiliary palantina" anyway?

When you make a new legion, you should have to chose what kind of legion it is, either border guard or legio comititenses, (a term that simply means comititenses of the legion, whereas a normal comititenses was a garrison unit). Finally the emperor should get a special "palantina" army.
All three army types should have their own unique units to recruit of all different types of unit classes. So the border guard have their own spear, sword, cavalry, scouts, etc and the legio comititenses legion would have its own special infantry/missiles/cavalry and then finally the palantina would have all your elite unit types of every type. These classifications were not different units, but literally different army compositions with entirely different purposes. I want a mod with this depth that fixes all this ahistorical lazy shit. I mean really, the fuck is "desert spears" I mean really, put some research into it.

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.

Total is £5.99, Let's split the two factions up for £3 each since it's simple to understand.

On the Empire side you get:
A legendary lord with his own questline, unique mount and abilities, a few of them reused.

A new lord with unique abilities

Two new units with unique animations plus a recoloured one.

9 Regiments of renown (Recoloured units).

Roughly £3 in value

The Vampires get:
A New Legendary lord with his own questline, unique mount and abilities, a few reused.

A new lord with unique abilities (Possibly new animations, hard to tell).

2 Units with unique models, animations and abilities.

9 Regiments of Renown (Recoloured units)

Roughly £3 in value

Plus 5 new maps (Low value I imagine)

I see no issue with the pricing taking what other games do into consideration.

The fact they're bundled together is the only reason the price seems inflated.

it's useful for checking fertility and picking the right type of food production for that province. Also it's good for looking at what religions you'll need to compete with and which areas will tolerate your culture more easily. It's literally for Grand strategic planning.

Can someone explain to me how naval formations worked, how can a battle work if you can't hammer and anvil? if you can't flank?
For example, look at this clusterfuck here

Trafalgar was won by making beelining right into the enemy formation, wouldn't the first ship of each line get btfo and the next and next one and so on and on.

How the fuck could this clusterfuck work?
And even then, wouldn't the flanks fall into the british lines?

What the fuck

It doesn't have the fire by rank shit that never really worked well(because it was unresponsive, slow and permanent)

>>161192648
The french and spanish autoresolved

>>161192648

1. The Spanish hated taking orders from the French. Essentially, they did their own thing in the battle (didn't stay in formation) and made the entire line vulnerable.

2. The British ships were faster, had more guns (for the most part) and could turn much easier due to recent engineering developments in Liverpool.

3. The British sailors had much higher morale, the British had dominated the sea for entirety of the war. Compare this to the Spanish and French, the former had been recently defeated by the French, and the former had just been decimated in Russia.

>>161192648
they cut the navy in half. traditional naval formations try to cross the T, which is what the Spanish and French were trying to do. But the british took a page from the Romans and decided to break the center and split the army in two. The british line was so long that the other ships couldn't flank in time before the ships in the back could defend themselves, so eventually that british line became a giant dick that penetrated the formation, created two isolated navies, so they basically crossed their T and made two more Ts that proceeded to blast them away. The Spanish and French couldn't coordinate a counterattack in the shock of how innovative the strategy was. It was like a classic Hannibal move, where the british changed the rules in a big way and the guys stuck in traditional thinking couldn't handle it. They were hoping for a cannae situation, but ended up fucking it up by failing to actually hold the center.

The wind was in their favour, and hitting the front face of a ship is much harder than Empire would have you believe

So basically it's the greatest most amazing awe inspiring victory in the history of naval warfare?
