What went wrong?

>>162268087
Pretty much, I'm guessing the idea of micromanagement is anathema to them or something.

Like who knew that the units that suck ass at prolonged engagements die when you just smash them into a mosh pit with another unit?

>>162268139
I don't get this. Are you being serious or just piling into the meme? Are welf really that weak, or are you just not an understander of strategy?

Plus:
> more than $20
where? The DLC cost $18, no?

>get "favorable" wood terrain
>can't see shit
>can't see a goddamn thing captain
>turn off foliage
>only the leaves disappear

Why is this a thing?

Gold is a really shitty metal when it comes to actual protection. It's a soft metal that you can bend with your hands, and has a really low melting point.

Should've used steel.

Any mods that mute the GADOOOSGHSHHH every time you accept a pop up or menu item?

Will the AI use regiments of renown from for example the Grim and the Grave if I'm playing as Dwarfs for example and don't own the DLC?

>>162268409
Fight on the edge of the woods on the campaign map so that you get the battlemaps where most of the map is open, with appropriate dots of forest for hiding. It still counts as forest.

>>162268331
Wood Elves is Total War Arena:the faction. Lots of running around. A lot of the new maps are really Arena like too which is neat.

>>162268537

>>162269697

If you want to use tabletop values, weaponskill is the most irrelevant stat in the entire game in Warhammer.

The point is in the chaos of battle your superior skill often gets overshadowed by some bad luck, or maybe t. Human's buddy stabs you while you're focused on the dude in front of you.

Is it me or Hawk riders disengage really easily from battles?

It's funny that they and glade riders turned out to be my favorite units from WE roster. WIld riders are especially good against beastmen, You can pretty much focus fire an entire unit of chaos spawn or centigors before they even reach your lines. Once the battle has started they can easily defeat shitty ungor archers in melee and then start cleaning up routing units.

>Were the Macedonians Greek? This question is the most contentious issue in Macedonian historiography. Conflicting claims to the territory of ancient Macedonia have made the question of the “Greekness” of the ancient Macedonians a burning issue. Modern nationalists may be confident of their answers, but contemporary ideology has little relevance to antiquity. Thus, while recent epigraphic discoveries suggest that “Macedonian” was a dialect of northwest Greek, it is clear that in antiquity neither Macedonians nor Greeks considered the Macedonians to be Greek. Except for the ruling Argead house, which was believed to be of Argive origin, Greeks viewed the Macedonians as barbarians like their Thracian and Illyrian neighbors.

People who take multiplayer seriously. They balance the single player around the whining cunts that play multiplayer. I'll bet that's one of the reasons why Welfs are shit, because they would dominate online.

'Normies' in the warhammer tabletop sense just buy whatever looks interesting to them, usually VC or something with a big monster unit and then drop it when they realize what painting and modelling involves. In my experience:

>Empire
nerdy younger guys little neurotic over rules
>Warriors of Chaos
Mixed bag either the worst or pretty chill
>Dwarfs
Always nice guys but really hung up on rules
>VC
Pretty competitive sometimes irascible
>Ogre Kingdoms
Easily the most chill would get a beer with/10
>Bretonnians
Fantasy lovers lots of monty python jokes
>High Elves
competitive, hung up on rules sometimes but usually chill.
>Skaven
Always great, good sense of humour sometimes try it on though
>Tomb Kings
fun guys, often competitive and optimistic which is refreshing for a less viable army especially for the chariot antics

Haven't played against players with the remaining factions.

I'm a big fan of Empire and I fear this might be too accurate.

>>162280235
It's entirely true though, I fucking loved them too when I was a preteen.

Retard. You NEVER ally with small factions. You only accept alliances with huge steamrollers so that you dont have to worry about being dragged into wars you can't win.

Why are you fighting him? I did just fine by making friends with most of them, and Durthu is a useful friend because he's strong.
