Is it possible to stay Christian and win as the wrc? Tips on how to manage that?
>>161771751
You can stay Christian and win. It'll mean suffering some PO problems, though, since you'll want to keep churches at a lower level, meaning less religious influence in areas that need it, like any area with a wonder that gives a lot of Roman Pagan influence. You'll also want walls basically everywhere and fight defensively against the Huns. They'll run out of arrows eventually.
January: Nothing
February: Old World Edition + Bretonnia
March: Some shitty LL pack probably
April: Boris Toddbringer
>>161772294
>bordeleaux subfaction
i like how everyone except empire will get a subfaction. get fucked karl fagganz
>>161772458
Boris Toddbringer is the Empire subfaction.
>>161772151
>More complex sieges
CA have shown that they have been listening to some complaints, especially around DLC, so that might happen, but I can't see it being higher priority than other things they have to put in for the next game. They would have to redo most of the siege maps, at least, unless they left the lower tier towns as one wall sieges and then made new ones for the capitals and high level cities only. They would have to change their AI again to accomodate those changes, too.
>>161771751
>>161771943
disregard churches, build theatres and coliseums and just have the legions purge anyone who thinks their emperor isn't being christian enough. The fucking emperor decides who's christian and who isn't.
>>161772586
not gonna lie that be fucking lame. he's already in game, empire will get sloppy seconds for a sub faction instead of something cool like playable averland with marius, yanno a REAL lord from TT
>>161772760
Just release proper modding tools and modders will do it for them.
>>161773175
[muffled GW shrieking]
>>161772989
No it isn't. A playable Middheim has been requested by tons of people since the beginning.
Vlad Legendary Campaign is quite fun.
Easy as fuck, but fun.
Also they got THE BEST voice actor for him.
>>161772294
>playable Mousillon
Fucking finally get Black/Yellow color scheme. Praise Sigmar.
Would people want a legendary lord DLC with Boris, playable as Middenheim and some UIric units? Who else could be shoved in there and with what units?

screencap this hombre
he'll stay a reskinned empire general in terms of skill tree, and get some boring campaign effect like franz, and no unique units. thats assuming he actually gets put in proper
>>161772760
No I understand like, I get the feeling their main goal is just to make sure they can get every faction in the games first.
I think the one wall approach isn't bad they just need to expand the play area more so there's a higher chance of getting to fight beyond the walls. Even if they just reused the features from Attila like fire and the extra defenses that would be great.
It's the one thing that worries me a bit with Warhammer is they have a good base down right now and thats fine. I just want to see them keep pushing it and adding to it and not just leaving things as they currently are.
But you're right though they have been actually taking feed back and putting it to use so that gives me hope they'll try to address some of the bigger issues with the expansions/newer games.
>>161773325
Vlad Daddy is the best.

s-sorry dad
>>161773421
There are some Storm of Chaos units they could add. Tuetgen Guard and Knights Panther come to mind as obvious choices.
>>161774423
I'm not sure why I said Vladdy instead of Manny. Maybe because they're both bad compared to the true Emperor, Sigmar.
>>161772294
WHOSE THE OLD FRIEND REEEEEEEEEE
So I am listening to a lore video about Tomb Kings
Settra seems like an alright guy, Are the Tomb Kings "evil" i.e. chaos/Skaven tier bullshit or just they want to get back what was stolen from there.
Also who are their gods?
Best I've ever done on legendary.
Started out with him gathering on a huge hill with woods. I kept harassing him to draw out his light cavs one by one and killed em all. Then I moved on to my main attack, cornering him on his edge of the map.
I didn't realize what I was doing at first, but I ended up confusing the shit out of the AI by having 4 of my matchlocks constantly rehiding in woodlands with most of my forces as he kept trying to reorganize his massive lines. I had both generals, an ashigaru, and a matchlock on the other side of him on a hill with woods. I basically had him cornered on a thickly wooded hilltop and he had so many troops that he had to keep reorganizing his line.
If I were defending he would've just full frontal attacked me and I may have ended up losing. I was able to widdle away at his troops over the course of an hour.
>>161775931
Tomb Kings are basically a neutral faction, similar to wood elves in that they just want people to get off their damn lawn, and take back the shit people have stolen from them.
Settra is a bit of an asshole but he's a very competent asshole.
> Tomb Kings still not announced
>>161776363
Another part I forgot to include is that I had to switch out my matchlocks because of ammo. Had it been a human player it definitely wouldn't have gone down that way.
>>161765897
>SFO
how are VC in SFO?
>>161775931
>Are the Tomb Kings "evil"
neutral I believe.
>Go down the "army upgrade" route for Skarsnik
>Suddenly Wolf Riders become better than both the RoR version and the Squig Hoppers
>Realize that Wolf Riders benefit from the nastier squigs and all of the regular goblin skills
Man, fucking Wolf Riders man.
I want to be dominated by a best elf!
>>161776474
> still no Skaven faction
I love them, they are such assholes, they are probably even eviler than Chaos.
I wonder what would their racial gimmick be. Maybe something that would make your own lords turn on you on some conditions, since they are known to have no morals and just backstab eachother at any given opportunity.
>Confederate Stirland.
>VC have 4 armies sitting outside of Wurtbad.
>Move Gelt's army into Wurtbad and start marching another army from Marienburg.
>VC waste no time and declare war the same turn.
>Gelt and the garrison are spooked by all the skellies, so I can't sally forth.
>Other army is only halfway through Reikland.
>End turn hoping for the best.
>No battle this turn, look at Wurtbad.
>VC moved half of their skelly armies away.
>Gelt runs down Ghorst and Kemmler with almost no casualties.

>>161779235
im going to build my own frankreich, with blackjack and hookers!
>>161779235
>>161779439
Perhaps they'll come to Judea and join the race of chosen merchants.
T*rkroaches getting BTFO in a last stand rebellion.
>>161778796
That's the point why I like them, they are literal rats, they don't give a fuck, LITERALLY only thing they care about is to be more powerful than the others, that's their ultimate goal.
With Orks, you can see that they too want to be powerful, but they have other goals too, they want to be famous through their actions and be respected or just have fun. It's usually like a game for them. Then we have points like Gobbla getting gutted which made Skarsnik get depressed and drop his Waaagh! to go and cry and scheme into his pillow.
But nah, Skaven are just utter bags of dicks, they can't do anything together because they are too busy backstabbing eachother. They make up their incompetence with sheer numbers and some kuhrayzee inventions.
The only reason why they became so dangerous during End Times was because their literal god descended from heavens and told them to stop acting like assholes to eachothers for the first time in history and start being assholes to everyone else.
>>161779926
>>161780030
How many Skavens would there be in a unit? 120? 200? Would be awesome (and bad for the GPU) if they were a fuck ton of them but were cheap and died rapidly
>>161780093
RIP Constantine IX
At least you died knowing your empire has a future ;_;7
>>161780253
Bittersweet end turn
>>161780186
Probably fuckhuge amount in fodder units and sensible amount for some more specialized units like warplock pistol wielding cowboys. I'd love to roll around with units of doomwheels just racing around the battlefield.
>>161780186
Seeing as Goblins only get 160 at max, I think Skaven Slaves which are literally the trashiest units available should at least be 200 or more.
And eventually when you get to Stormvermin who are the top tier infantry, it should still be quite high maybe around 120? And depending on how they implement the Clan system for Skaven, let's say you allign yourself with Clan Mors then you get more Stormvermin in your units because they specialise in breeding Stormvermin.
>>161780406
Because we are playing on glorious achievement mode, I have hit turn 1225 and accomplished one of the glorious achievements which was to keep all of my homeland provinces.

Here is our next emperor who has decent stats and virtues. His goal will be to strengthen the empire's borders and retake Greece.

Apparently we start off as buds with Archaon
Anyone remember that PBEM campaign we tried to do last year and failed? It was supposed to be the ERE in SS6.4 but it kinda died off because of the delay between players and postings. I'd like to bring it back if there's any interest.
>>161781894
Pretty sure he can put out/support as many units from one city as most factions can from their whole kingdom.
>>161782098
Also forgot to mention I found the save files for it and the plan is to play until the emperor's death then pass it on to another player.
want to play some M2, would do SS but i live on uni and cant downolad torrents, any recommenations?
Started playing Rome 2 again after nothing but warhammer for last 6 months.
I am really enjoying the smaller scale battles, not having 20men+ battles every time is really refreshing.
It is a lot slower to, its nice to be able to maneuver your javelins to the flank before the infantry fight is already over.
Wazzock I need a magic mod that makes magic good I am tired of burning skulls and vortexes that do nothing.

>>161782859
Play as stirland
Why don't Undeads have any human units? The game makes them look like some sort of evil pseudo-Chaos, but aren't they just some okay guys that everyone else just considers evil, because they are not pussies and dabble in forbidden magic? Some people happily live there.I'm not saying that the Undeads need any more units for their roster, only that it's odd.
Is Ancient Empires out yet
>>161782921
Because look at the table top units.
They do not have any human units, the vampires are necromancers and have control of undead automatons that work like puppets.
Humans live in slyvannia but they are fed on like cattle.
>>161782302
Yeah i don't know what it is about warhammer but the whole thing moves way too fast.
Your lines get engages and by the time you can whirl your cav around for some charges everyones nearly dead already.
I really hope they'll try to done ti down a little as time goes one.
>>161782859
>I might end up quitting Skaven, as I really dont like being literally all over the entire map
I think they're trying to fix for the next patch. Gonna go make sure though
>>161783046
Yes
>>161783095
oh really
cool
>>161782098
what's PBEM
>>161782449
thank you friend!
will give them a go
>>161783145
Play by e-mail
>>161783069
Its a fun game, but it could be a little slower everything is over very fast.
In Rome and Attila you have a big skirmish before you even engage in melee, and city battles can last over half an hour with you pulling troops all over the map setting up choke points and killing floors.
Warhammer is a little more rush focused, i am hoping WE change that up a bit.
>>161783220
>Play by e-mail
lmao what
are we playing chess now
>>161782921
Mostly because the rule books focused on the undead side of things. On the table top if you wanted to you could always do up some Bretonnian men at arms to look like some Sylvanian peasants and proxy them for Skellies or something. That kind of thing just never got a rule book entry though.
Here, lets play the Hippie Elves to cure my wait for their full release
So I finally upgraded my GPU (RX 480). Is Warhammer worth picking up?
>>161783054
Ah, I thought that humans actually liked to live there, with mandatory regular blood donations.
>>161783072
>>161782859
Skaven are no longer all over the map now. though they now have sub faction clans all over
G O B L I N S
>>161780030
Skaven are a Beastman subfaction. They are both animals turned into chaos alinged humanoids by warpstone.
Skaven are the Goblins of the Beastman faction, the smart, madcap, tech-savvy, but weak ones. Conventional Beastmen are the Orcs, dumb, strong, brutes.
>>161783457
That's the propaganda, the reality is basically slavery but so is being a peasant just about anywhere else, whether he realizes it or not.
>>161783614
So are these Skaven who decided to hit the gym?
Things are going smoothly for the Jewish Visigoths, even if it is 417AD.

nah fuck that I want amber for those glade dragons.
>>161787239
Oh ffs if the sister is half your age when you're 4 then she's 2, so you're 2 years older than her; so when you're 100 she's 98, is this really this fucking hard or are you baiting?

I bought a Vampire DLC recently and couldn't remember which one it was
>>161790390
One of these games was released at a reasonable price for the content, with good developer support, price sales, and updates about once every 3 months.
The other is tw warhammer.
I suppose dying quick was the wrong set of words.
Dying slowly on life support would be much more accurate.
>>161791404
Probably at first, now they are just being overly conservtive. Plus they should just stop being jewish and balance single player and MP for magic like they did for legendary lords
>I don't know why but in Fantasy settings I always loved Humans and elves/cat people having extremely close relationships.
>>161790250
Thats normal for every game though. First week is the peak followed by a sharp drop off when all the normies decide they don't like it.
>>161791294
>>161792085
I'm so incensed I forgot to quote you
Do you guys think total war games will ever be cracked again?
>>161792372
The better question is "Do you think total war games will ever be good again?"
(((Italians))) are at it again
>>161790250
It is still on the first page of global top sellers over 6 months after release, despite not a single drop in price. That is not the sign of a dying game you moron, nor is twitch.
>>161792970
Also another interesting thing about MTW is how allies respond to war differently.
>>161793110
>>161777117
They better have some mechanic for building under other factions settlements or I will scream. Also Clan Skyre and Clan Vrrrtik superiority
>>161780541
>Breeding stormvermin
Clan Mors is more about other big things really. There is one clan in particular that had super high amount of stormvermin born, selling them to everyone else. Now of course. the Skaven Council of Thirteen say them as a threat. And one day the stormvermin stopped being sold, and no one has heard from the clan since. Kinda strange huh?

I'm being attacked from all sides. Here's a high res screenshot that's illegible on my 15 inch CRT
Naval battles are such a fun clusterfuck
this battle may seem like a minor clash to the western powers but for Persia this is a great victory as the otomeme fleet has been crushed and our port defended, as trade is the only source of income at the moment this is crucial
Is Fall of the Eagles better then Vanilla Attila?
>>161798006
the way is now open to take Baghdad from the turks
truth is that I didn't actually want to fight them, and wanted to conquer the Mughal India first, as getting close to european lands means having to fight the much more powerful states there, but Baghdad is a great province, and having turks one movement turn from my own capital seemed risky, I'll try to negotiate a peace treaty after this conquest and actually go after Mughals
the swordsmen supported my the cavalry and cannons send the turkish centre running, all that is left is to deal with the enemy force that is about to crush the wavering left flank
the enemy used their organ guns with great effectiveness, those things are seriously scary

Depends on the count really. Some of them do that, some of them just grab some random schmuck off the farms to drink, and some ask for every firstborn child or whatever bullshit. It is kinda like the empire where it can be either nice and kinda comfy or a horror show where you're fucked beyond measure.

But their units were pimped out to the max. Lower tier units look better in EB2 for example, but high tier units aren't completely wearing bling.
>>161799086
this wasn't so bad, the organ guns killed a lot of my men, but their infantry stood no chance against the zamidari swordsmen, that made up the bulk of my army
now to consolidate and prepare for further hostilities
The Persian nobles charge in head first, smashing into the advancing indian heavy infantry like a thunderbolt from Zeus himself!
The Hellenes and baktrians come to the aid of their Persian compatriots, and put the indian infantry to flight.
Does meloncat still come here?
A lone unit of Indian spearmen are the only foes that do not flee the onslaught. They hold their ground and cause the lancers to fall back and regroup, despite taking excessive losses!
They soldier on, desperately trying to come to grips with our fast horsemen, while they are peppered with arrow fire.
>>161800287
Did EB2 flesh out Romans yet?
they finally quail and are destroyed as they attempt to flee.
The valley is littered with the corpses of the invaders. The satrap stands triumphant!
>>161793593
>>161780030
The Satrap returns to baktria, to recruit more men to take up arms. The Indians will be back soon, and it falls to the satrap to defend his realm from the might of the Mauryan Raja

Vlad was the only good leader Slyvannia had. No human would serve under Mannlet.
As autumn ends, the Satrap's army stands ready. Once winter has passed, they shall give battle to the Indian forces near the town of Orthospana.
Winter is uneventful, with the only news of note being that the watchtowers to spy on the Skythians have finally been completed. Should the Saka invade, we shall have forewarning. Alexandria will not fall again!
The years since Diodotos has been appointed Satrap of Baktria have been prosperous for the people, both hellene and barbarian. The city grows, and soon it shall be the crown jewel in the land of a thousand cities.
goddamn, I love the map generator sometimes.
To survive as the Jewish Visigoths I've had to do some unpalatable things.

>>161802732
AXUMED
The larger of the two Indian forces is camped outside the town. A wise move, but one that Diodotos can use to his advantage. We shall attack them at night and defeat them, thus isolating the indians from help and besieging the town.
As the day ends sacrifices are given to the gods to guide us to victory!

Not at all, they're power-hungry cunts to the very core, only Vlad and a couple of Strigoi were ever remotely human in their intentions.
Vamps are evil, they're just a different kind of evil than Chaos. Chaos is turmoil, destruction and, well, chaos. Vamps is a more orderly evil, like an eternity of stagnant, unchanging servitude under an oppressive autocratic boot.

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.

>recommended for you

playing empire again and I remembered several of the reasons I like it so much despite all the issues and want a sequel:
>the best campaign map in the franchise
I am talking about provinces and their management, seeing those settlements appear on the map with population growth, having them spread out a lot, and the large number of different things you can build there and their effects is really cool
>agents are useful but not as fucking annoying as other titles
there are no long as fuck unskippable animations you have to watch (fuck you medieval2), they are not as deadly as rome 2 or shogun 2. But they are also not useless
>the ministers and different government forms system
this is self-explanatory, imagine this with all the added family tree management and inner politics of Attila? also a way to peacefully change government type would be nice
>good potential in terms of battles
gunpowder total war titles have one serious advantage over melee titles - and that is the fact that you can fall back or reorganise your line without an instant rout. It makes battles much more tactical, in theory that is, in reality the AI is too fucking retarded to actually force you to use any tactics, the multiplayer is the most "deep" one in the franchise though, its just a shame that I joined into the MP really late, so most of the community moved on
>a surprising sense of progression and variety
this didn't happen in med2 because all the late period units were pretty much broken, but in empire you get a really good feeling for it - early game most guns are rubbish with shit stats and lousy bayonets, so melee infantry and cavalry spam is actually a preferred way of fighting, but as infantry and artillery become increasingly efficient melee units become redundant, the western and eastern nations deploy a rather different armies and as a result have different fighting styles, the campaigns of SOME of the different factions play out significantly differently
>naval battles are fun
>>161808368
>>161808487
Yeah it's good in many ways. If only the units followed commands.

It's playable for me on a 7770 but it really made wish for an upgrade. Also an fx-4100 so I think you might be ok.
>>161808487
yeah the birth of democratic institutions and radical liberalism at the tiem would make for soem great government 'tech' trees that could be opened by diplomatic, technological and social trees and conditions. It would be great if they made 'revolutionary' agents which could influence teh direction of foriegn governments. Imagine sending one to Despot France resulting in a Napoleon, campaign magic.
Turns out Eb2 has a new patch.
DidAncient Empires and 1212get released too, perhaps? :^)
>>161808487
cntd:
trade system, while still very barebones, is better than in other titles, because there is actually a reason to kill other factions traders even if you don't have your own to take over the node is, the reason is that the price of the good is determined by its supply, killing traders of other factions will lower the supply, increase the price and as such also boost your income
it had a replenishment system which is a decent compromise, between the overly simplistic new system (troops replenish automatically at no cost, though admittedly even wounded units carry full upkeep so you can argue that all the extra upkeep is spent to recruit the missing soldiers) and the older title system of having to move your armies around to replenish (I actually prefer this system, to both the empire and later titles, but I understand why CA moved on from it)
an attempt to reflect social issues by having several different classes with their own tax rate and public order
I am sure I will think of more reasons as I keep playing, but this is all I can remember for now, and I gotta say that its a shame empire is so broken because of all the incredible potential it has and some of the really nice features

>>161808751
I wasn't just talking about the size of the map, but features and province management, also with the modern much more powerful computers it shouldn't be much of an issue to significantly increase the number of provinces (the "france" province did have a ton of towns immerse in it at max population)
>>161808762

>Pike&Shot get released
>play as the Ottomans and bully European fuckbois with my hordes of cavalry
>>161808837
The replenishment in Warhammer is pretty reasonable apart from 'regiments of renown' and some elite units. Greenskins are everywhere and flock to the toughest boss so its reasonable to expect them to find men anywhere, Chaos constantly corrupts and gets new blood joining for favour, VC raise dead, Dwarfs are more unlikely but they are pretty tough so possibly shrug off pretty bad wounds and also their sons take up their fathers place in the throng and finally Empire could levy or recruit mercenaries.

there's a story that tells their tale of coming to be but i dont remember the name
it's something along the lines of "the doom of (city name that begins with K)"

They're just better spearmen without shields. More AP, more armor, more leadership.
Maybe they shouldn't be used as your main anvil for economic reasons but they are completely interchangeable with spearmen.
But because spearmen suffice you only really bother with halberds against Chaos/Stunties Where the armor penetration really matters.
>>161811427
They are shit against anything that isnt a large monstrous unit.

Use them against heavy armored targets. They will get fucked by maruader stacks. You can increase your halberd usage when chaos invade.
You don't really have one main anvil unit as the empire. All the different state troopers are supposed to work together. You can ignore the shieldless spearmen though(when you got the money for it I guess).
>>161811498

I hope hes wrong because Chinese warfare is fucking boring as shit and we have TW games that already do everything that is available during those eras already, just with guys with round eyes rather than squinty ones. Its nothing but peasant spam, calvary and crossbows with a handful of chariots for the earlier eras and bad explosive weapons for the late.
At least pike and shot gives them the chance to do something new and uses ALL the weapons and tools of medieval to renaissance era. Its one of the most diverse times in human history when it comes to weapons, armors and tactics.
It also lets us have a huge map with a very wide selection of factions across Europe, North Africa and America.
>tfw we get a Pike&Shot game but the focus is on western europe with all the exciting variety of Eastern Europe just being a side theatre
>>161811505
Maybe, I'd guess /tg/. They care that Total Warhammer exists as well.
Beastmen are more primordially Chaos for sure, and their forms are technically far more varied; but for model restrictions in the game.
But the Great Horned Rat is technically a Chaos God, and any mutation is from the same original source of Chaos.
They were more similar in earlier editions.

But it won't be. When we say China Total War we refer to East Asia which is pretty fucking diverse in itself.
Southern Song Dynasty = Macedon
Taking Sino/Chinese culture as the equivalent to the Hellenic/Greek culture.
Jurchen Jin Dynasty = Parthia
Cavalry dominant, but can eventually field decent infantry.
Mongols = Saka/Sauromatae/Scythia
Horse archer spam incarnate. Alternatively may also be seen as Rome because they’re the “winners"
Western Xia/Tanguts = Seleucids
While it’s a mishmash of Chinese and Tangut/Steppe culture, but more Chinese. Seleucids are an Eastern-Hellenic hybrid, but more Hellenic.
Western Liao/Kara Khitan = Pontus
Chinese and Steppe culture mishmash, but more Steppe. Pontus is an Eastern-Hellenic hybrid but more Eastern.
Tibet = Armenia
Mountain kingdom, some of the heaviest cavalry of the Far East second to the Jin Dynasty (Armenian vs Parthian Cataphracts) but limited.
Genpei Japan = Epirus/Illyrians/Odrysian Kingdom/Dacians
Epirus because some Chinese influence, Illyrians because of as wako pirates raiding the lands to their west, and Odrysian because of their obsession with 2-handed polearms such as the naginata, which is like the Thracians with their rhomphaia. Dacians because their yumi bows aren’t that bad, but not stellar. Same can be said of the Dacians’ horse archery and foot archers. Also falxes.
Goryeo Kingdom = Bosphoran Kingdom
Located in the north, Chinese-influenced. Tends to get invaded by northern nomads. The Chinese once said that the Koreans had the best foot archers.
Southeast Asians = Celtics and Germanics and Iberian barbars
They’re relatively lighter in equipment, utilize javelins and falcata-like swords, and lack siege equipment and navies.
Dai Viet = Massilia
Southeast Asian faction with Chinese cultural influence.

No, it isnt. In fact Chinese warfare is super fucking boring. It has a huge amount of romanticized stories about its wars, the wars themselves are terrible.

>>161811493
And it's one of the few korean/chinese movies that actually make the japanese bad guys competent and/or dangerous.
>>161811713
kind of ironic how the Wood Elves will probably be desttoyed by other ranged units, be it Quarrelers or Crossbowmen
Low armor, few numbers.. They're fucked. Their shooting has to be really good for them to not be the worst faction in the game, and looking at the stats we've seen thus far they're fucked
>>161811787
If the Chinese modders can do itand I like the faction selection in 19th CenturyI can't see why CA won't do it.
The only problem is selling East Asia/China. Japan has the samurai mythos but China... well you can sell the invention of gunpowder and defending the wall by spinning it into some Night's Watch badass creed.
What I'm trying to say is perhaps CA can get people interested in the setting instead of working on a time period that already has a lot of interest in it.
>>161811819
This
>>161811753
All wars are romaticized be they Roman, Japanese or otherwise. Chinese warfare was on a scale unimagined by europeans and was fought over an advanced urban China rather than barbaric mud huts. Still nice to know there'll be some autistic fits on /twg/ when the next historical title for 5 years is a period they hate.
this should be the next map if china total war 1200-1500.
If not china total war I want Imperial Total war 1815-1910 which would include the entire world
>>161811725
>rehash of what we have but for a culture the majority of the TW playerbase doesn't like or care about
Great design idea anon
You know why we got a TWW game and not a Chinese TB TW game? Because people recognize and enjoy the cultural similarities.
Fundamentally doing China is a bad idea because Western players dont give a shit about that culture, they already have lots of cultural options here in the West people want to play with.

As if that matters, TWW will still be better than any historical TW game by miles.
CA cant into technology and wont be able to make a historical title that can compete
>>161812337
I doubt the high tier archers will be worth it outside Campaign since they will probably cost fortunes
>>161812342
They could just price the wizard chassis higher would be the simplest solution.
>>161811249

>>161811910
>be it Quarrelers or Crossbowmen
Neither of those will be able to compete
The only answer to WE archers is artillery or melee
>>161812484
It depends, if they try a new engine and focus on more unit micromanagement and political options they could make a game that could easily compete with TWW. China/East Asia has plently of diversity to offer in terms of periods, warfare and cultures and certainly as much as any previous successful title. Still it is unlikely it'll appeal to as wider audience as TWW unless it catches on in China particularly well.
>>161812708
>if they try a new engine
They're not.
>>161812653
I mean
we can't really know for sure yet
but I feel like 1v1 Quarrelers vs Glade Guard, Quarrelers win
1v1 vs Deepwood Scouts, Quarrelers win
now the Waywatchers have a chance with their AP damage but I think thats it because none of the magic arrows give AP either
I'll run some tests once the DLC hits but these are my predictions
CA should just rebrand the engine desu.
retards will lap it up.
>>161812765
>we can't really know for sure yet
Yes we do because they are THE ranged faction and CA will balance them to be so.
They are also the most glass cannon faction meaning they have to have the highest damage ranged units or else the faction literally does not work at all.
I want empire 2 above all, but age of discovery total war would be great too, they could even do a similar trillogy thing that they are doing with warhammer by having consecutive titles that result in a giant game from late medieval to napoop times
>>161812193

Their ranged units with ap missiles are their only reliable anti-armour units so they'll be overpowered at launch.

>Age of Discovery Trilogy
Early Game: Establish yourself in Europe. Transition from Pike and Shot to tricorne and bayonets.
Mid Game: It's actually hard to expand in this game, so one way to increase your resource base is to shit on/conquer foreign areas. Tribes and peoples with relatively lower technology levels can be dominated easily, but going up against places like China would take a more concerted effort. Technological levels around NTW's.
Late Game: You reach a level of technology that corresponds to that seen in FoTS and above. You get to dismantle the Qing dynasty.
Bonus Game: World War 1.

I dont think CA even knows how to do that

If quarrelers can't trade at least decently with wood elf archers dwarfs are going to be completely fucked when facing against them
It doesn't make the wood elves bad if they can't trade with a unit that's supposed to trade well in skirmisher battles, it just means wood elves have to do something else to tackle dwarf skirmishers.
>>161812864
except that the stats we've seen so far have shown that glade riders are worse than bretonnian plebs on horses and about on par with goblin wolf riders
The buffs that lords give to their army better be out of this world because they have shit missile damage too aside from waywatchers
>>161812337
Have you seen any wood elf with a range better than 160? If not, Quarrelers will dumpster them
>>161813190
>The buffs that lords give to their army better be out of this world because they have shit missile damage too
They have 6 different foot skirmish units and we've seen the stats of literally 1 of them you mong.
And that one was literally their tier 1 skirmishers.
>>161813295
Well lets see here
we've seen the stats for the glade guard, deepwood scouts, the magic arrow versions for most of them, waywatchers, glade riders and the ones with the poison arrows as well and hawk riders
I'd say we've seen more than "one of their tier 1 skirmishers" you fucking oxygen thief

Considering the top tier wood elf great sword unit died under one volley of shitty hellfire rockets I think the dwarfs are going to have no issue dealing with them
You're obviously a concerned dwarf player so let me educate you on your own faction
Build 1; lots of arty, lots of cheap high moral infantry. Use arty to kill ranged units before they even get in range and use infantry to protect and overwhelm elves forces once they get in range
Build 2; counter to woodkin spam; flame cannons and irondrakes
Idiot dwarf player build; bring ranged units and try to out range the best ranged faction in the game
You're welcome.

Yes anon its called forcing your enemies hand in order to gain the advantage of predictability to counter his forces
He has to attack your arty or he loses his ranged units, which means you can preemptively prepare for that attack and counter attack on your own stopping him
The thing NOT to do is fight the enemy in the style he wants, which is sit back and obliterate all your forces with skirmishing archers.

>>161814172
If both dwarf and wood elf skirmisher fire is equally affected by being in a forest, for the dwarf strategy which relies on you being able to use artillery in order to have an advantage, that just ends up favouring the wood elves in your scenario where wood elf archers beat dwarf skirmishers handily.

If you were going to fight Wood Elves in standard mp, what would be the best army for dwarfs?
The things Dwarfs bring in the current meta seem so inappropriate it is hard for me to get a good idea for it. There's no danger of being outranged by enemy artillery, and they'll likely have flyers/cavalry, so a bolt thrower seems a sure pick. I can't decide if adding a grudge thrower or another bolt thrower would be overcommitting to artillery, but it'd suck to get your only tool for forcing the NEETs to commit taken out by a waystalker.
Slayers seem like a big liability, but i'm not sure what another useful counter is to Treekin/Treemen. The Grumbling Guard have almost been an autopick lately, but i'm not sure about them in a match where fatigue resist and armor-penetration don't seem very valuable. Still, they could help bring down the bigger forest spirits and perhaps the enemy lord.
What does /twg/ think of this army?

Bringing either a flame cannon or some irondrakes seems like a good idea for dealing with the tree spirits.
>>161813783
Imperial splendor adds warpath to the grand campaign and many other new regions. Good flags and Napoleon graphics, new religions and factions and so on. Makes the fantastic campaign map even better. Battles are where it suffers. All fire drills removed grenades removed can't dismount cavalry a lot of arty gone. Its balanced well and its fun but lackluster. All for the sake of historical accuracy.
I might try to mod it back in myself but I don't know what I'm doing. It'd be the perfect mod if not for that.
>>161814832
Flame cannons and irondrakes might actually be worth it given that there's nothing the wood elves can field that has high armour, and their tough units all have weakness to fire
>>161814832
bolt throwers are worthless
grudge throwers are next to worthless
vanilla cannons are good.
meta calls for thane spam
gyrocopters are garbage against others with skirmishers.
So one cannon to outrange/force enemy to engage, quarrelers to skirmish. Hold the line with vanilla dorf warriors backed up by a few longbeards and thanes and probably a runesmith.
That's it.
>>161814761

Irondrakes might be worth it now that they fire faster, but it makes the army weaker to just getting rushed by a bunch of dryads/wardancers because of an anemic melee line. Still worth thinking about.
Flame cannons will eternally be a meme, though. Just enough enough time to fire with that range, especially against such a fast army. A grudge thrower would almost certainly get more kills for cheaper.

The stream, Anon.
Do you know how to go watch old streams, Anon?
Here let me help you.
Go on twitch.tv
Are you getting this?
Alright. On twitch, go find Total war's channel.
On this channel you can watch previous broadcasts.
Still with us?
In these "preeveeouus broooadcaaasts" you can find a stream that was b r o a d c a s t last wednesday.
You do know what wednesday is, Anon?
No?
Wednesday is the third day of the week, Anon.
You know what wednesday is now? Good.
In this "previous broadcast" from last wednesday you can see Dogbert play the wood elves.
Now, I know this part might be hard to understand, but..
Dogbert isn't actually a real dog. I know it can be confusing, but he is just a man.
If you bothered to actually watch this part of the stream, you could see unit stats when his mouse passes over them.
And no, the "mouse" is not an actual mouse. It is just a name for the device connected to your "personal computer" that helps you operate this "personal computer".
This must all be very disorienting for you but I hope you can power through.
Don't work yourself too hard though, you might get a headache.
That's when your head hurts.

What role thanes have against Wood Elves? They don't have any melee hero who can take a potion themselves, and if you can catch them in melee it seems like you already win without the hero spam.
Gyrocopters, especially steam ones, are pretty good at ruining enemy skirmishers that have no armor and poor penetration. They ruin Ungors or Night Goblins, and seem like they'd do great against glade guard/ glade riders as well. If they are really outclassed you have the Quarreler line to hide behind, though.

Actual historical content.
>>161817584
What tier do you guys think the Wood Elf Legendary Lords will be?
I'm thinking Durthu is going to be complete shit, but and Orion is going to be high tier.
>>161818325
In my experience the SCV and LCVs are near-identical, which means completing the former gets you so close to the latter you might as well do that too.
>>161818325
I set my own objectives.
>>161813995
>Does anyone in Europe compete for living space?
>>161818467
Most of them are pretty identical, like the stunties.
For the 'evil' factions they can be vastly different though.
Big difference between genocide Empire and genocide Empire AND stunties.

>>161819084m2 end of timesAnd I am not being ironic
>>161818891
I always disliked the fact that Attila had four different ammo types that could be swapped on the fly.
Why do all your units die when you cycle charge in Attila?
Every time i rear charge an enemy and pull out my cav just melt.
>>161806739
Yes
>>161819285
Because they aren't defending themselves while turning around.
>>161784257
Sounds interesting
>>161819480
Is the best tactic to just commit to all charges then?
>>161818417
>Durthu
>shit
Dude does magical and AP damage, has a fuck ton of armor and HP, frenzy, encourage, causes fear and terror and has lore of beast. Also his army is immune to all attrition. So I think he might be the best out of the gate lord.
But both will be stronk as fuck.
>>161819285
you need to cycle charge with high mass cavalry, or pull them out right after they hit, otherwise the enemy has enough time to turn around and butchers them
>>161819510
Cycle charges only really make sense with shock cav or good melee cav, as they usually have good health and armor and won't melt in the process.
>>161819516
He's going to have weakness to fire though. Wonder how vulnerable he will be to fire-buffed troops.
>>161819285
Attila ramps up the damage when a unit is being hit in the flank. Trying to cycle charge means the entire unit turns around whilst they're being attacked which just gets half of them killed. You either need to use super heavy cavalry to tank the hits or you need to hit hard enough to break the target on the charge. Get out of the practice of cycle charging because it hurts more than it helps.
There's a reason Taghmata Cavalry were so broken for so long. They could stand and fight after a solid charge unlike most other cavalry.
>>161819192
They're also incredibly useless most of the time, the only thing I occasionally switch to is heavy shot.
>>161819902
Wonder if Durthu can get as much ward save
>>161819191
I have tried it back during its original release, but the battles were so clunky it was really dull to play. Has the mod seen much updating?
Also recommendations for a faction?
>>161819902
Kholek moves faster than most cavalry and is fat as shit on the charge. That kind of makes up for the rest of his stats but Durthu is still a blatant case of power creep.
>>161819996
Doesn't he come with a 20% damage reduction built-in for being a forest spirit?
I think they said that was the case for the forest dragon in the latest video.
>>161819996
Doubt it, but he has the 20% damage resistance the forest spirits have. And more armour.
It's all up to his unqiue items/talents to see how good he is I suppose. Along with how they'll handle his attacks.
>>161819902
>r
Dont forget the 20% ward save which means his actual HP is 7182
>>161819902
>36 speed
I'm pretty sure Dwarfs will be able to outrun this guy.
>>161820091
Still not updated
I only played Ogres since I wanted something different. They really are a powerhouse
When are they going to include another Anglo civ like Finland?
>>161820189
Lore of shadows buff on him to increase speed on the charge.
The fact he is basically a giant with ward save huge armor and hp means he can probably solo most early game armies.
That big spider skarsnik had basically wins early game on its own, now this niga got magic and even more HP/
>>161819902
I started to post about how that doesnt look that bad since Durthu does less damage and is much slower so its a fair trade-off, but I forgot Durthu has lore of beasts and can spam flock of doom.
Even then, Kohlek has a pretty useful damage ability. They both look like strong lords desu
>>161820353
>Anglo civ like Finland
What the fuck am I reading?
>>161820091
didn't they update to 1.01?

Every single lord is viable.
Some just have better starting units, Azhag is actually a great lord when he has lore of death and Skullmuncha. You can do some really good fear armies with Azhag, it is just he has poor starting units.
Gelt is a bit shit, and so is Kemmler but they are still viable and Gelt gets decent starting units.

Thats dumb. Having one single unit be decent at everything instead of 2 units that can split to hit their more favorable trades.

Plus how can the game tell if the anti-large model or the anti-infantry model hits.
