>>161512457

Zombies and bats are straight up useless against Chaos

Hell, I could probably up the count to 7 since Crypt Ghouls do little to no damage to armored units.

>>161512382
>He doesn't use Zambombos to suck a charge and eat shit while flanking with the rest

>>161512590
Crypt ghouls are surprisingly good at defending walls (that is, if the enemy uses the ladders) while bats do a good job at killing hellcannon crews, while your Vargheists can go for juicier targets

Does the poison debuff keep refreshing if in combat or does the buff get applied to the enemy unit instantly and has to be manually applied again after x amount of seconds?

>>161512886

>>He doesn't use Zambombos to suck a charge

You could just use grave guard to tank charges, they actually have armor and melee defense and they might even get a few kills

Army slots are a far. far more valuable resources than money, wasting slots on units that barely do anything is terrible.

My Garde du Corps just heroically dashed into the French ranks, defeating the enemy 1é de Carabiniers (or whatever) and routing half a dozen units of French infantry.
Every single man died to protect their realm and sovereign from French steel. They did not flee. They turned a battle that was bound to be lost.

I'm generally expierencing fps drops in newer TW games as soon as units enter combat. Could it be because my CPU is too strained?

Have a system that makes army size dependant on population size, as well as, economic output. Now, this would not alleviate the whole problem as mercenaries would fill some of the role of regular soldiers as they can't logically be tied to population size.

>>161517943
Good reason.
Lack of ranged and arty does kinda handicap VC against monsters, I guess.

>>161517695

Add a mechanic for "patrols" that have a 15% increase to movement speed on home turf for reinforcing garrisons or chasing down raiders, broken armies, or "raiding parties" that get a bonus to raiding and sacking, but can't occupy settlements. They would cost less upkeep, but only can have up to ten units including a general.

Something like that.

I like the smaller battles.

Dawi won't be as strong when Skaven, Tomb Skellies and Chaos Dwarfs are all introduced. The fact the Dwarfs don't have to protect a quarter to even half of their borders gives them a huge advantage at the moment.

There is a minor invasion of raiders that spawns in from the sea around turn 100 I think?

But by that time they either get cleaned up by Orcs or the Dwarfs who have the majority of the region. But they are stacks of mostly horse fuckery and marauders. I kind of wish they did it more than once though.

Also once the other races get added Dwarfs will go from comfy to Empire 2.0. Skaven in particular know how to fuck dwarfs over hard.

Keep the fuck away from that hot mess, or try and get people to calm the fuck down.

Karl's main concern throughout his whole career was dealing with Orcs and Chaos, who you can't make peace with. He was on pretty good terms with ever other faction. Except the Undead, but Mannlet was a joke, so who can blame him?

The Caroleans to the rear of the initial wave form squares in response to the attack from my cavalry, too late as they are too far away and I have already withdrawn them from the melee.

These squares likewise present good targets for cannon fire, and I have also repositioned several nearby line units in support of the defense. Karl's doom is near.

>>161526452

He'd work for peace.

Karl considers Bretonnia to be decent, if troublesome allies. And the Wood Elves gave him Deathclaw, which has to count for something.

>>161532754
>>161526929

Basically, the elves have their own game plan for the End Times: Get the hell out of Dodge.

In the End Times, the Wood Elf goddess of prophecy finds a new world, and sends her lover through to it, to act as the new Elvish Father God. It was intended to be a haven for elves and certain other races (humans, because elves want those human dickings), but got absolutely fucked over when Be'Lakor found out it existed, and through him, the Chaos Gods. So they pre-emptively fucked the place before it could build any kind of defenses against them. Literally, in Slaanesh's case.

Karl was intended to be the leader of the human gods in the new world, and so the Wood Elves went out of their way to protect him more than once. This all got derailed when he died and was possessed by Sigmar, who chose to fight for the current world as the Incarnate of the Heavens. Honestly, I suspect Karl would have made the same decision to begin with, so the elves were fucked either way.

Note that, amusingly, several Bretonnian's had been chosen to become the human gods of that world, but would have been subordinate to Karl. Thousands of years of service rewarded with having to suck the dick of your cultural rival because the elves like him more.

Why would they want to have humans in that world? Considering that humans make up much of Chaos's forces.

>>161535347
There are Elves that literally worship Slaanesh, but they were welcome too.

>>161535347

Here's the thing about humans in Warhammer.

We're fucking failures. The Old Ones got half-way through making us, then realised they'd forgotten that whole 'resistant to Chaos' thing, and moved on to the next project. Humanity spent thousands of years as barely sapient neanderthals.

Then the Polar Gate collapsed, and Chaos flooded the world. Our fragile, undeveoped minds were exposed to the infinite potential of Chaos. Our very racial sentience was linked to the primeval strength of Chaos, and we became a part of it.

Ever wonder why there are shitloads of human Daemon Princes and basically no Elf or Dwarves? It's because humanities affinity towards Chaos, whether we choose to oppose it or embrace it, is massively higher than any other species.

Elves opposed Chaos through magic, binding it's own overflow against it. Humans can oppose Chaos through will alone. Faith is a weapons that humanity alone can wield.

And Kingdom of purely Elves is fucked the moment Chaos get's it Daemonic ass in gear. I'd like to remind you that single beastman has been systematically corrupting Athel Loren into a ruined mess for years.

>>161535693
wtf I hate humanity now

>>161535693
Calling Morghur a single beastman is like calling Vlad a single vampire: technically true, but disingenuous.

>>161535693
wtf I love humanity now

>>161535879

Morghur is a potent agent of corruption, but I'd like to remind you that in some parts of Kislev, time literally doesn't work properly due to Chaos fucking with the laws of nature.

Praag became so infested with daemonic taint that it became a living entity, and the Kislevites just knocked it down and built it up again.

There's a literal shard of the warpstone moon in the heart of the Empire, and they don't give a fuck.

Humanity in Warhammer had a much higher threshold for corruption, because our very nature is corrupt. It's like dirt on a cloth. It's less noticeable if the cloth was grey to start with.

Vlad is a single vampire though.

I mean, he's not even the strongest of them. The Blood Dragon would bench press him. What made Vlad dangerous was his human elements. His charisma, empathy and actual genuine love for Isabella and the Empire.

He could genuinely have been great Emperor, in way that perhaps no other Undead could have been.

Praag was so thoroughly corrupted that it's actually fucked up in terms of abstract concepts. They've razed it and rebuilt it multiple times but it always fucks up over time. As soon as the stone starts to melt they try again, but they're fighting a losing battle. Praag was fucked up so hard that every future version of the city is bound by fate to feel echoes of the initial corruption.

Needless to say the battle seemingly went on for days with the Swedes taking some of the heaviest losses I've seen in TW.

I spent a few turns gather all of my armies to destroy the last remnant of revolutionary France.

This campaign was some of the most fun I've ever had in a TW, I should do a NTW one again, the battles are a lot better than Empire really.

One of the developers for Mount and Blade visits /mbg/ sometimes and searches "ginge" to see if anyone is talking about him.

I was drowning in cash throughout that campaign. My repeated wars with the Russians fueled my conquest of everyone else.

Like no shit Königsberg was getting besieged almost every turn with stacks like this. Every time I made peace they'd declare a turn later. They pissed me off so much I ignored the frogs completely and took every single Russian city on the map.

>>161543482
propably upvotes from threads started/comments

>>161543258
If PR are normies, do you think any devs come here? It's not unlikely if you ask me, it's not exactly something you'd advertise out loud anyway. And if I was in PR I'd think it was pretty funny to pretend not to go here and praise Reddit instead.

I don't own Slavs. Should I buy them for eight warbucks?

>>161544081
Should have bought them during the sale to be honest

Langobards have horse hewers, they get annihilated by horse archers but it's still a fun unit with a great name

>>161544081
8$ is cheap for a slav

>>161544157

That would be too based. I just hope CA would come up with a decent diplomacy system for it. It would kinda suck if it all devolved into Prussia blobbing up all of Europe.

Also please no one province France.

I'd really like it if they redid Empire total war but have it span from the late renaissance shot and pike era to the napoleonic era.

To be honest current Big Man Tyrone doesn't have the charm of the old one. His camera and audio are too good these days and his voice doesn't sound as funny.

low budget is where its at

Is it possible to team up with a friend and fight computer players in Rome 1 or Medieval 2 online skirmishes? I want to get a friend into the series.

This is how you make someone not ever want to play Total War

>>161548845
Those two games are like $3 each, so hey.

Medieval 2 + Kingdoms is 23 bucks on Steam you dip
