Poops. He was like the 2nd or 3rd man, and most recent, to conquer the entire civilized world.

How do I use the waystalker effectively?
Is he just a buffbot for your archers or can he be used in combat as effective as a branchwraith?

Would have Napoopan done against lizardman magic?

Or what would Hannibal have done against Gobbos?

What could the military mind of the WRE ever have sent against Athel loren?

Recently on DeviantArt I saw some propaganda for the "alt-right" movement (think of it as modern-day, resurrected fascism and white supremacist ideology) that featured "cute" anime/manga female characters, as if that would somehow make their ideology more palatable. Normally I don't like dabbling into explicit politics like this, but I thought to myself, "What if someone drew an anime character to promote Black rather than White Power?"

I don't endorse any form of racial separatism or nationalism, even if the Black Panthers had a very legitimate grip with the institutionalized white supremacy of their day. But you gotta admit, once you see anime girls used to propagandize alt-right white supremacist ideology, you can't help but feel there could be some diversity here

These Phoenician merchants are bartering for settlement rights with a native community on the northwest African coast sometime during the 800s BC. If the deal works out, they get to set up a nearby colony that will become Carthage itself.

There is of course a legend that Carthage was founded by a Phoenician princess named Elissa or Dido, who cut up strips of a cowhide and laid them down to encircle the initial space of colonization. But I chose to disregard that legend and settled for a more historically probable scenario of Phoenician merchants acquiring trade and maybe land rights from the indigenous African community. But then, we may never know for sure what happened back then.

The Africans in this scene would probably be descended from the earliest speakers of the Amazigh (or "Berber") languages, who would have colonized northernmost Africa from the drying Sahara. Although today's Berber-speakers have a mixture of African and Mediterranean ancestry in varying proportions depending on ethnic group, I believe the very first speakers of Berber languages would have looked more African. That's because Berber is a branch of the Afrasan/Afroasiatic phylum, which would have originated in Northeast Africa along the Sudanese to Somali coastline. Of course, as the languages spread northward towards the Gibraltar Strait, they would have assimilated people of Mediterranean background even before coming into contact with the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, etc. But that is to happen over the centuries after this scene.

Conquered the Sassanids and claimed the east as the ERE in Attila, I have ten armies and plenty of gold.

Should I conquer my loser cousins in the west or help them retake their territories?

This piece is meant to express my anger and sadness over how people of African descent continue to be treated, not only in the US but across the world. What's being removed from her head is an Egyptian-style crown like that Nefertiti wore.

I drew this one a couple of months back and tried submitting it to the American Writers' Journal. They told me they would feature it in their Aptril 2016 issue, but apparently on March 26th they closed down due to a lack of perceived interest. So I have chosen to post it here instead.

This Kushite warrior lady has left her native country behind for an adventurous, heroic life of disrupting slave trades and liberating the oppressed. For example, here she's stalking a slave caravan from Egypt that's hauling Arab men, women, and children across the desert. You could say she's a more legit, dedicated example of a social justice warrior than the vast majority of tumblr bloggers.

This concept started as a response to the cliche of Africans being enslaved in caravans run by Arabs, Europeans, or Africans doing business with the former two. It was my feeling that this trope, even if inspired by certain historical slave trades, had patronizing implications since it portrayed Africans as poor benighted primitives reduced to a subservient role in conventional historical narratives. I wanted to depict a reverse scenario with Africans enslaving other races, but since I didn't want to make the African side look all villainous either, I added to the scene an African character who would sympathize with the slaves and fight on their behalf. It was also inspired by one of Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane stories wherein the English protagonist attacks an Arab slave caravan dealing in Africans.

I think I quite like the idea behind my heroine here. I might do a story about her sometime.

>This chart is based off the so-called "Table of Nations" found in a number of ancient Egyptian tombs, which contrast the native Egyptians from neighboring foreign nations. In these murals the Egyptians would conventionally portray themselves as dark mahogany- or cocoa-brown, the Kushites to their south as literally jet-black (rather like how South Sudanese today are perceived), the Libyan Berbers to their northwest as fairer-skinned, and the "Asiatic" Middle Easterners as a light tawny-brown. Basically I wanted to translate these murals into my own art style.

Attila the Hun, the Scourge of God, holds his Sword of Mars in readiness for his next bloody rampage against the fragmented Roman Empire.

The tiger-skin cape was an afterthought that came up during the coloring process. It was originally going to be a bear-skin, but I switched to a tiger since it looked less drab, not to mention fitting for a warlord of Asian descent.

The title is quoted from a trailer for the upcoming computer game Attila: Total War.

In 216 BC, African elephants and cavalry under the command of Hannibal Barca march across the Italian countryside, planning to capture Carthage's old enemy Rome itself.

I enjoyed making up an exotic color scheme for the African horses, but in general this was exhausting to draw and color since it had so much going on in it. At least the result was satisfying in the end.

I always thought the Green Lantern from DC Comics was supposed to be a black dude, and was surprised to learn he started out as white like most of their other superheroes.

>>162337984
Well, it'd be helpful in new/poor provinces for sure, since there's less income to lose. And already rich provinces are usually built up as well meaning they need less growth to begin with.
I don't know for sure. In my opinion it's worth uploading. To be honest, I haven't been able to find a mod that trades taxes for growth.

Looks pretty alright as far as I can tell. I'm not sure how much 50 growth is for the Empire, but I'd consider it a favorable trade for 25% fewer taxes. The other tiers of taxes also look fine, but you should consider adding a taxing level that doesn't affect growth or income or the like (assuming that it doesn't work like commandments in that they need to be activated.)

>>162338570
they are just extra commandments. you can select any one of the vanilla ones whenever you want.

Not that anon but I think that the tax increase is a bit too much, +15% for high and +30% for .very high. Other than that looks good.

>>162338595
Fund it, my dude. Or ask around a bit more. I'm not that familiar with the Empire's economy. Looks good to me.

>>162338642
Why? I would rather they not fucking waste their resources on stupid cosmetics and use it on something of actual worth.

Is forced march stance the worst thing to happen to the series?

>>162338498
If have a t shirt on would you stand in a line and fight a knight in armor head on?

Quick sketch of a shrine to the goddess Tanit as it might have looked in ancient Carthage. Unfortunately reliable information on ancient Carthaginian architecture proved surprisingly hard to come by, especially since the Romans utterly destroyed the original city before rebuilding it in their own style. Therefore a lot had to be left to my imagination. Many historical computer games such as Age of Empires and Rome: Total War have given the Carthaginians more or less Romanesque or Middle Eastern architecture, but for my rendition I chose a more West African flavor. While it is true that Carthage started out as a Phoenician colony, I'm sure they might have been open to local African influences which became prominent as the civilization evolved. The little dashes on most of the pillars are supposed to represent sticks as seen on some Malian buildings today


Alright im done

>>162338839
yes

>>162338839

Yes
Not only it made campaigns shorter

Why is everything so dark in your game? I don't remember the campaign map looking overcast the last time I played TW:W.

fuck

>>162339072
I don't get them but probably, for axe throwers and ents/balrog.

Do you guys keep the starting Waystalker when playing Wood Elves? I feel like the 250 upkeep would be better used on two units.

The way it is implemented it is shit. yes

I get their idea, but the penalties for using it are nowhere near enough to actually not make you use it just for travel instead of it being an emergency thing.

First of all, forced march shouldn't allow you to replenish forces.
Second, forced march should actually give attrition to your troops (dieing of fatigue, which actually happened in very long forced marches)
Third, forced march should have reduced range in enemy territory (since it is non-familiar terrain)
Fourth, forced march should apply a debuff besides the already fatigued troop debuff, the troops attacked on forced march should have reduced leadership.

They implemented forced march to be a "oh fuck, my city is about to be attacked 300 miles away" button, but gave no actual reason to not use it everytime on peace time and on friendly territory.

>>162339019
Does the AI change strategy due to the mod changes, or do the same movements but then end up in the open because they cant force march again?

>>162339184
Maybe it shouldn't be a stance at all. Maybe it should just be an extension of your range of movement. You can go this far with a normal march, or thiiiiiiis far via a forced march, and the debuffs apply based on how far you march?

>>162338884
such autism shouldnt be allowed

If you debuff it that much then what is the point of having a mostly dead army arrive back at your city?

>>162339259

This is a solution aswell
But the penalties should still be there

>>162338882
if I was a dwarf quarreler and an elf was shooting armour piecing arrrows would I stand in a line and fight them head on?

Ballistae or onagers?

>>162339304

Because it is an ultimate emergency measure that was not even used that much in real life aswell?

>>162339245
AI knows it can't meme march away and it adapts to that, yeah.

>>162339386
>an ultimate emergency measure that was not even used that much in real life aswell
It was used all the damn time. Forced marches and getting armies where they need to be on time was half the glory of the ancient military world.

>>162339153
he can pretty effectively kill stuff like monsters
the arrow also penetrates units unlike the glade lord's arrows so he gets a bunch of kills with every shot
I had a waystalker in my VH mini campaign who had something like 1240 missile damage (3,something reload time, he shot so fast that when an arrow was about to land he shot another one. Raped forest dragons and lords on flying monsters)

Is the latest version of Call of Warhammer stable? or are they still working on that patch?
