After a long time at the sea, fighting barbarian scum, it is time to return home. On the way home we continue our discussion about dwarfs. Sometimes we discuss historical facts such as their inability to fight rats. Their ridiculous stubbornness etc.
The best part is when we try to think of the most creative ways to grudge the dwarfs. This is some of the creative ideas we've thought of.
1. Shave the high kings wifes beard, replace her shaven beard with skaven ass hair. Use the wifes beard as bow string and shoot the high kings children.
2. Steal/replace the book of grudges, and replace it with something creative. Or delete all elven names, maybe even wipe out krells name.
3. Give a slayer a bad doom. Such as poison it in its sleep. Cut of its arms so it can be fight etc.

There are more ideas, but we'd like to hear some from you.

What's that dwarven battlecry you sometimes hear when they charge?

I wouldn't be too concerned with what an elf was trying to say. They rarely say anything of importance, and they have trouble speaking the same tongue as the rest of us, considering they only talk to trees. Doubly so, if they're speaking lies about good Dwarfen folk again.

>>162432898
Slayers are oath-bound to seek their ancestral doom. That basically just means they have to try to kill something scary enough that can kill them in return. Chopping off a Slayer's arms would make it far harder for them to find a worthy fight, so they'd never be able to find their ancestral doom and would dishonour their entire bloodline for eternity.

If he wastes magic on Vanhel's Danse Macabre (which he did once or twice when I controlled Durthu) then he'll lose. So the AI Mannfred won't be able to kill Durthu before Durthu kills Mannfred, since they're in love with the Danse Macabre spell.

So lads how would you feel if CA turned the mini-campaigns from what is right now essentially a smaller GC to a much more narrative-driven one.

For example, you'll still have the total war battles whenever there's a fight to be had, but in between there's much more day-to-day stuff like protecting trade routes. With a good narrative story to go with it. Think webm related.

Maybe instead of having control of the whole faction you're put in the shoes of a local mayor or general who only has control of that one city. And in order to upgrade and expand that city you need to send out troops to protect the incoming resources. This would also allow them to put more of their dev time in to improving the city building, maybe taking it back to how R2/Attila was where you could see it expand (in much more detail) on the map too.

Just a thought, since right now I feel the mini-campaigns - while not bad, are just something you play once and then never look back to. With some big changes I think they could be an interesting addition instead of just more of the same GC experience.

>>162433964
just connect with biguns and throw arrows on the pile

>>162434040
I honestly only ever rush through the Mini campaigns to unlock the shit at the end, after that I never even look back on it.

What they need are more playable factions, and better gimmicks to stand them out from the Grand Campaign.

They had the formula right with Rome II and Attila for fucks sake.

>>162433964
Any Big un's for anti large, Night goblins for poison, Black orcs for armor/anti-armor, any combat spec lords, Grimgore.

>>162434040

Sorry about that, staying out at sea for a long time makes you forget human language. We mostly hear "muh blood god"
"Scatrats serve papa nurgle" etc.
Forgive me if my language is not up to late.

So I ran some tests of how Wood Elf units fared against Chaos Warriors (Great weapon)

>Wardancer
Lost, killed less than CW

>Wardancer with spear
Lost, killed more than CW, would probably win if on equal unit number

>Wildwood Ranger
Lost, killed less

Reminder to not use wildwood rangers, they suck

What was the idea behind giving us one (at the start) OP unit with our legendary lord?

Speaking of Shogun, after playing some Shadow Tactics I find myself once again wanting to weeb out. Is TROM3 still the go-to mod for Shogun? I read it was pretty outdated so I don't really know.

How do you beat Chaos as WE?

I was thinking having only waywatchers and cav zero infantry, there is no way that their armies can catch your archers and waywatchers are one of the only armor penetrating unit they get.

Cav can kill their horse spam.

There is always that moment when you realize your archers ran out of ammo, they are your most intact units and you need to use them in melee if you want to win. Sending in the archers for me is always a "Well shit." moment for me.

Why do people say Chaos are shit when they have the strongest units in the game, is it just that they are to expensive outside of single player.

>>162440660

Multiplayer cost. Like Chosen with greatweapons a great, but not 1400 gold kind of great. And the chaos warriors and marauders are just good, not exceptional. Also their cav is somewhat meh with no anti-large cav and they have no range units outside of horsefuckers.

>turn 15
>morghur spawns with 4 fullstacks
ok sure

>>162440557
Only in the first handful of turns in singleplayer, or if you're genuinely strapped for a few dozen points in MP. Poison doggos are just a straight upgrade assuming you can tolerate the flourescent green.

>>162440763
Because all of their gameplay mechanics are dogshit.

>horde infighting means most of the time you're forced to play with a single stack against multiple opponents
>losing a battle means you're virtually guaranteed to lose the horde with all two hundred turns of growth
>agent spam can lock your army down for turns at a time which is more often than not the end of an entire campaign

Typical Bretonnian

>>162444150

Peasants wearing armor they scavenged from the battlefield

Does that make it better or worse?

Lords having more honour than your daimyo can do that

Would be pretty rare to loot that kind of armor

Well this was underwhelming.

Anon was right - swiftshiver scouts make the best archers.

>>162444418

Changes nothing, since any peasant spotted using heavy armor would get killed in bretonnia
even if it was scavenged

>second-worst Total War release in history

Unless you're including either M2 (on top of all the never fixed stuff, cavalry charges didn't work) or the everlasting shitshow that was alexander, then surely you mean the worst?

No amount of backlash from butthurt "gamers" will ever change the fact that ETW had BSODs, other crashes and not working (as in "not doing shit ever", not "sometimes it derps out") AI that at the best of times would just charge and melee zerg rush you like it was R1

Read: 'scavenged' in this case means ganking wounded knights and taking their shit

I'm referring to Spartan: Total Warrior, friend

Just because we wish it never existed doesn't mean it didn't

>>162444847
Somebody post short hair dark elf please.

>>162444894

Monstrous infantry and repeater AP crossbows. Along with some nasty dark majics.

That's like saying Viking is, too.

Gladly

Glade Guards with Starfire Shafts versus Deepwood Scouts with Swiftshiver Shards.
Which are objectively better?
