Reply here if I've done something retarded and you want it changed
>these hotfixes
Wait what the fuck?
I get the wildwood rangers and waywatcher buffs, but holy fucking hell those glade guard buffs.
>>162667725
I thought it was fine for single player. People just didn't know how to kite with them. I don't play MP though so I wouldn't know if they are underpowered for that.
>>162668268
I'm with you, they pandered to hard to the scrubs
>>162668268
Two of the top mods right now are Wood Elves buffs
People are fucking retarded and CA is giving into them
>>162667608
>they're now friends
Elves are just the worst fucking scum in the world.
>>162668353
you can't really kite when they're the same range as everyone though
>>162668496
>They approve war against Angrund
>>162668464
They did need buffs, but not to their basic units, not at all.
Hilariously, the unit MOST in need of buffs in the entire roster (Deepwood Scouts) only got the token buff that all archers got.
have they fixed the issue with wood elf/argwylon campaigns where you only get banners as loot
>I need another 20GB just to download a 100 mb patch
fuck steam and CA how is this weird memory nonsense acceptable
>>162668498
Yes you can. You only need to think in two dimensions instead of one.
>>162668268
Yeah, 4 extra damage and extra range? Goddamn, that's some really heavy buffs.
> Tomb Kings still not announced
Patched Starshaft Glade Guard vs Quarrelers with some very, very sparing micro and firing from the edge of a wood
>>162669106
If you can't see why that's major as all hell when glade guard were already completely fine, you need to not discuss balance in games
>>162668218
>State Troops of the Empire
I'd recommend Unique Empire States personally, I like their colors and stuff a lot better than that one. Also I can't tell on the State Troops one, but UES also does their shields up better with the states heraldry and things.
It sure is nice of CA to fight so hard on our behalf so we can have mods!Oh wait, they released half-assed shit tools AGAIN and it's the community's job to do what CA should have done
>>162669441
Patched Starshaft Glade Guard vs Quarrelers (Great Weapons) firing from the edge of a wood, zero micro, pure shootout
I love how they stated in the same patchnotes that if Glade Guard can beat quarrelers in a shootout, there's a problem
>>162669470
I've flip-flopped a bit between the two, but right now I'm settled on State Troops, due to anon's recommendation becausesupposedly; I haven't played anything near the empire for a whileit adds less armour to the state troops

>the unit MOST in need of buffs in the entire roster (Deepwood Scouts) only got the token buff that all archers got
Deepwood scouts ate probably there best unit though. With the shard arrows they shred absolutely everything. Waywatchers sre worse than them in every way and cost more

Any update on the eagle waddling away from combat and dying
>>162670235
>>162669672
Straight shootout, zero micro, flat empty terrain.
Only reason they lost was worse leadership, the damage done was close to identical.
>>162669837
Sorry, anon. I've been here too long.
>>162669968
Maybe it's personal then, I tried them a few times but couldn't get used to the dumpster range and never hired them again.

>all archers ranges are now 180
this is a buff to that lord skill that gives extra +12%, they will now have 200 range lmao
I don't know what the fuck you're doing but here's my test.
The quarrelers even shot a couple of times towards my lord.
I'm sorry anons, memes are dead
>>162670227
Using the longer range to retreat then fire before the quarrelers can return fire, I did it I think 3 times that shootout
>>162667087
Is that Guy a Ghost or Immortal ?
>>162670559
The extra range probably got them 2 or 3 extra kills
>>162666807
Be evil and conquer all the empire provinces, tax them to death then let chaos take them

Sir the correct phrase is Not! King Arthur, just as the empire is Not! The >H>R>E
>>162670559
>dumpster range
Thats the only thing stopping them from being hilariously broken
>>162670634
depends, if I get woodland/hiding spot, I may gorilla deploy archers so I can quickly hit the enemy back when the infantry lines clash (ranged cavalry is much better for that purpose tho)
but that's it
>>162670816
>putting lords in your tests
>not grabbing the mod
Also, you're probably not on beta patch. Quarrelers shred glade guard without challenge prepatch.
>>162670818
I thought so, I could only get two volleys off and retreat before the ai ever shot back
>tfw you can't listen to rome or medieval 2 music without hearing the advisors or unit responses in your head
>>162670970
You can clearly see from the comparison stats quarreler's have -20 on the range stat.
Also in this case the lord could have only harmed the AI since I was the one controlling the glade guard
>>162669627
>tfw SFO is probably going to end up with so much unnecessary shit added to it
>It will one day add a thing that makes me not be able to like the mod anymore.

>>162671068
Lords also give buffs
>>162671170
If you commit a grudge against stunties, do they ask for your name and address?
>>162668268
Remember how much the general was bitching and complaining at launch?
Now WE are literally every other faction instead of a casual filter
>>162671304
you can't really blame Grace, she just repeats the bullshit some retard decided
>too micro heavy
>a literal attention-free constant ability
u fuckin wot m8?
>>162671423
I'm sure the +8 melee attack changed the outcome drastically.
>>162671436
i dont know, i assume they need a name. what if they dont know you? they at least needs to know who to pin the grudge on
>>162670661
So they fly away faster?
Only better than the Skaven Senpai
Even then that's not saying much
God damn
Wildwood Rangers are no longer to be fucked with
>>162671447
I wouldn't say that, their anvil is still trash and they still lack long range artillery, so you can't play the stock standard strategy. But the glade guard buffs were for sure unneeded.
>those buffs
The archers could use some extra punch but the Welf campaign really wasn't that hard.
>People think Dwarf Infantry are hard to break
>They aren't even prepared for Lizardmen morale
these buffs are way overpowered
they're not going to keep them surely?
WHERE ARE YOUR GOBLIN ARCHERS NOW?
>>162671750
Never underestimate the power of crying shitters.
>>162671750
I'm sorry anon. The shitters won.
>>162671630
They should not be beating other factions elite infantry, wood elves are now completely OP their archers are stupidly OP now with up to 200 range and their infantry beats even chosen.
GG CA.

Holy shit that guy is in tears. I haven't laughed this much in ages.
>>162671568
They'll do more sync animations in combat, which should lower the amount of damage they take

>Belegar's campaign went from comfy to literal fucking hell
Thanks, CA. Can't wait for Queek.
>>162671750
The range buff was necessary to actually allow Wood Elf archer micro to work
The ranger and Waywatcher buffs are also justified
All the increased damage stats for the other Welf archers might be too much
>>162671496
If the reload bonus was that consistant it probably means it made them outrageously strong for anyone able to capitalize on it during battles with some micromanagement
But i'm kinda guessing they only did some test against other ranged units of other roosters
Do we have any leaks on what's the next dlc race after brets?
>>162672417
Tomb Kings.
>>162672189
It's fucking stupid, the playerbase will now complain that it's pay to win.
Why the hell did they have to make their infantry beat everyone else, their archers were fine too waywatchers needed work but the glade guard were fine.
>>162672391
This, waywatchers and rangers were literally the only units needing buffs
>get warhammer because I hear it's really good

That's a bug. I seem to remember the same happening earlier with a faction.

This. Starfires fucking melted anything they touched.
>>162670795
>playing the game for one faction

>>162671965

>>162672658
What if the game only has one faction?
>Bretonnia will be added in February
>they still won't add Bretonnia as a playable race in the Wood Elf minicampaign because "elves have to win"
>even though they could easily just have the playable Bretonnians required to keep the Welves alive in order to win the campaign
Fucking cunts
>there won't be a minicampaign where you play as Settra and reconquer Nehekhara after rising from the dead
Now that would actually be a good minicampaign even if you only had 1 or 2 starting positions
>>162672562
It's kinda lame but halberds and spearmen hold really well with(or without) guard mode so no loss really.
I am glad the handgunners don't have fire by rank, but the reload animation thing is pretty shit.
>>162672562
Dude, just stop pretending to be a clueless newbie to start shit. You've been doing it for a long time, and your autism is just as apparent each time.
Looks like they changed up King LuLu's model this update!
>>162672752
He used lords on the WE side for his testing so it was skewed
>>162672562
REAd a fucking rulrbook
>>162672761
Then I would guess it's a sandbox game
Also Bretonnia is 2 factions but you're still gay
>>162672871
Treemen?
Seems like hotfix Chosen vs Rangers is a 50/50
What the fuck does Radious even do? I've read their shit on steam and TWC but they only use the most vague bullshit description of "DOES THINGS, MANY OF THINGS" and I'm sure as hell not installing it.
>>162672465
I hope you're telling the truth since Kangz are my favorite faction but my heart is ready for dissapointment.
>>162672809
>>there won't be a minicampaign where you play as Settra and reconquer Nehekhara after rising from the dead

Fuck off nigger I bought the game yesterday, quit trying to defend removing features
>>162672943
Why don't you play another game in the series? Like any of the previous ones that has fire by rank and formations?
>>162672943
What?
>>162673052
Just listen to us and ignore Radious.
>>162672943

>Louen's face when King Beastman allies with Skarsnik and razes the empire
>>162673081
>haha learn to mod man
No thx
>>162673052
Makes every unit have a class so it's just M2 redlined rather than factions with strengths and weaknesses
Is there a mod that actually does remove lords completely?
All the current ones are basically garrison generals where a single character in the unit is the general. When testing it almost always comes down to RNG on who's "lord" dies first, swinging the morale to the opposite side
>>162673145
It is an adaptation of WHFB where bows could fire from the second rank but not firearms unless certain dwarves
>>162673123
So you did no research at all, seeing as you're apparently surprised? Right...
>>162672562
they wanted the focus of micro to be on hero's and special units. not on every single spearmen
>>162673123
>fire by rank
Only FOTS did it well to be honest.
Come to think of it, only Shogun 2(only yari wall) and Attilla had useful formations.
>>162673116
What the fuck
>>162673159
Well yeah I already said even curiosity isn't gonna make me download it, I'm just tired of seeing "WORK WIT RADIO?!" in comments constantly and not actually knowing what it is other than "A full overhaul"

>>162673460
There's your eagle buff. Didn't need a stat change just needed this ridiculous double charge animation fixed.
>>162673460
Is the great eagle less sucky now with the animations?
>>162673530
Gork ya git

It did the thing 3 times, but the melee was really long.
>>162673460
Okay, now the eagle might be viable, specially if animations are frequent

>>162673438
it takes 2 seconds to select your infantry line and put them into spear wall/shieldwall etc
>>162673507
I agree with you about fire by rank, though the IS mod for Empire does it pretty well.
Still, spear wall and shield wall has been useful since Rome 1.
>>162673604
>>162673643
>>162673654
Did it win? Those are dorf warriors right?
>>162673746
Forgot about those.
Why does Rome 1 feel so rewarding compared to the other games. Also so much more fun being limited by not having cav so having to use cheap disposable units like townguard as bait and flankers
>>162673857
Gork is the first option so clearly it's the right one
>>162671707
So? explain yourself lorefag
>>162673838
>Still, spear wall and shield wall has been useful since Rome 1.
Well, they haven't really been frequent, except for Attila. That's why I mentioned it.
Shield wall was pretty buggy in Rome 2.
>>162673746
Can't say for napoopan as I didn't play it yet, maybe it was because of modded unit numbers that made the square line thinner, but sometimes the enemy cavalry managed to break through. Not that I mind that, really, if it was just an "I win" button against cavalry it would be boring, at least it forced me to always cover the charged unit.
Also, did the formation bonus activate at the press of the button or when all men are in place?
>>162673952
Lizardmen is the second randumb meme faction after Skaven, they worship huge fat toads who sleep all day and have three billion morale
>>162673910
'dis git is right
>>162673910It also gives a bigger bonus
>>162673530
Mork is the stumpiest
>>162673908
It's kinda polished and "tight" I guess.
I get the same feeling from Shogun 2 and TWW.
So, now that basic elf infantry kills chosen, how the fuck are you supposed to deal with them?
>>162674094
That's Gork ya git
Mork is da sneeky 'un

Medieval was pretty historically accruate
>Wildwood Rangers don’t stack up against other units too well.
>Again, we’d agree, and the unit has been rebalanced with the following stat changes: +2 Melee Attack, +7 Melee Defence, +5 Armour Piercing Damage. With these changes the unit is much more formidable in battle and can now defeat Empire Greatswords one-on-one.

Lizardmen Saurus Warriors have high base leadership, high toughness, and the scaley skin equivalent of heavy armor.
They're basically the Order version of Chaos Warriors, except they and the entire Lizardmen army has a special rule that makes it difficult for them to fail leadership checks.
The lore has them being slaughtered mercilessly by demons and skaven, but they never run, never break and always fight down to basically nothing. It's disputed whether Saurus can even feel pain or fear.

I think the more pertinent question is what the fuck is the point of chaos now that elves have better monsters and infantry than they do? All of their strengths are done better in another faction that now also has overpowered archer support to whittle down any chosen before they even can engage the infantry that can already best the chosen by themselves.

Pay attention to the charge animations, Rangers are so fast that they literally delete the frontline of non-Dwarf/Chaos units, effectively negating their charge bonus.

>getting hyped for elves of all races
>>162675026
there are faction unlockers for skaeling and varg and the like, there are also conquer anywhere mods that might suit your purpose.
personally I think they dropped the ball pretty heavily bny not allowing chaos rebels to take over a city, only to raze it. encouraging chaos rebellions to take over cities, not even cities you would be able to control, would add a lot to the campaign. You would get the benefit of a new faction helping you out, as well as friendly turf farther south for your hordes to replenish in, and maybe levy a few rebel empire swordsmen if it wouldn't cost to many Charlemagne.
>>162675148
Chaos are just armored huns, it was before CA changed their design philosophy due to reaction of people noticing that actual non-copy pasted factions are very popular in this niche.
Chaos changes will come.
>>162675148
In the tabletop, if Chaos has a unit in a category, it's proably the best of its category.
It's just that their shit is extremely expensive so you can't field many of their models.
>>162675180
On that note, try Wardancer with spear vs Black orcs. Is a surprise really
>>162675624
Chaos is just missing a lot of their toys, they will be getting a massive update in what's likely going to be a Demon themed update.
With the addition of Demon units, it would make sense to also add some of the Demon monsters they can field, Demon Princes, and most importantly Marks for specific units.
Halberd Chaos Warriors with marks of Khorne are one of the most terrifying melee units in the tabletop

Very strong harassing unit. Wait for the fight to start and engage enemy ranged units, hold them on your flanks to engage enemy artillery when the enemy sends their troops
If you are sieging you can use them to engage the back of a unit that's in melee on walls and they hurt quite alot
They are also able to run down any fleeing enemies but due to their animations are not exactly the best for the job
Just have 2 max and you will see how usefull they are, think Vampire Counts bats on steroids. Hard.

Doing some tests of welves vs Morghur. Focusing on ways to kill him quickly so I know what kind of unit comp can work well vs him in campaign.
Despite only 15 armor. He's tanky as heck. The 75% reduction of ranged and magic + regen makes it obvious I need to use melee. However, he is deceptively good in melee. So I'm just sending shit at him to 1v1 him and see what the results are.
Monsters seem good since animation lock out keeps him from applying poison.
Orion got fucking masacred once it got to melee. I was shocked as stat wise I expected Orion to do way more damage then he did.
Great Eagle was inconsistent. First time it ate Morghur alive with barely any damage taken. Second time for whatever reason he ate the eagle alive.
Forest Dragon lost but the fight lasted a decent amount of time.
After beating a forest dragon, and a great eagle he was also able to beat a Treeman. Though the treeman did do massive damage. Second Treeman test, also a dead Tree. It appears to have done 1k damage before death and was dealing damage at a good pace.
Durthu managed a win with 585 life left. No spells cast. (additional note, Morghur's weapon damage does not have a lot of armor piercing. While Durthu has a + armor spell)
Based on Orion's loss. I did not bother trying out the Glade Lord or the Waystalker.
Anyway, I'll do more testing later with units but I'm fairly surprised. I'm used to other factions that have some very powerful melee heros or monsters that can just fight an enemy lord 1v1.
>>162679846

Pick one.
Woukd a chosen of Khorne be the most powerful of the chaos gods?
Like his whole thing is battle, so his chosen are hard as fuck warriors.
What can't the other chosen even do, nurgles can take more pain, tzeentcn have magic and slaneesh is pink?
>>162679675
>Would the build a wall around the Chaos portal in the north?
Probably.
It's not as though sending armies into it does anything, maybe if you put a bunch of slann there they could do something.
Which makes me think, the lizardmen campaign could be primarily about reawakening Slann so that you can use them against all the shit that's in Lustria, then you go to the old world and fuck everything that even looks remotely like chaos.

You do realize that there are nowhere near enough lizards to do this right?
And that the Chaos Wastes is the size of a continent?
And that said wastes are filled with chaos warriors, trolls, chimeras and pretty much every monster in the setting?
And that there still is a fuckhuge tear in reality constantly bleeding daemons and corruption that the Old Ones weren't able to close?
>>162679675
The legions of Lizardmen armies would actually be able to reach something worth fighting instead of being stuck in Lustria bogged down by Skaven and Darkies. Chaos would have another enemy to fight instead of being nearly 100% focused on humans
They can survive in cold conditions thanks to magic relics like the Solar Engine that provide them with warmth on the move.

Nah
They might reduce the cost of the base game and DLC a bit after the second game has been out for a while, but if the intent is to have everything fit together in one map, they don't really have that much incentive to make DLC cheaper. Reducing the cost of the base game if you have the expansion and vice versa, maaaaaaybe, but that's a big if and it's only going on the assumption that you will already have access to all of the map if you own either one, just not the factions in that particular area. Which may or may not be the case, although I don't see the expansion only having Ulthuan, Naggaroth and Lustria as the only playable areas.
>>162682468
>>Expansion is half normal game price but half the content
>>Sequel is normal game price but normal amount of content and compatible with previous DLC
They were originally supposed to be expansions for the main game. We don't know shit about how much content we would or wouldn't have gotten
It's just like turning the fucking Hobbit into 3 movies when it could have easily been 1 or maybe 2. Gotta get those sweet goybux
>>162682206
Except you just asked to be gouged. Barbarian Invasion offered fuck all in terms of new content for a steep asking price, and Kingdoms forced you to buy all of these unrelated minicampaigns together, while not even fixing or adding to the base game. Both were shit for the price, and only well remembered now because you got them bundled with the base game for <$5.
That's it, Athel Loren is going to war against Chaos
>>162682592
Except the Warhammer World is hueg and filling it out appropriately over 3 games isn't entirely absurd.

nigga, it's literally scripts and triggers, calling that "coding" is a serious offense to everybody who ever messed with actual code

>>162684584
are you going to shill for the next 2 years, or something?
>>162684584
No CA I'll be quiet and buy more DLC. I'll even buy all of it over again to gift to my friends. I'll even donate directly to CA headquarters because I don't think you guys are charging enough for all of this quality content.
>>162684631
Sure
>>162684584
People will probably be angry about the $19 USD (or $17 when it is on pre-order sale) since it means paying more money for a race they want, but a campaign pack that they will ignore.

I own all the DLC.
I forget, Warhammer fans are so used to getting fucked in the ass by GW pricing this is no big deal to them, CA's buttraping is gentle in comparison
Funny how WHFB fans got so upset about their game getting fucked by Age of Sigmar, but they don't see the irony of how they ruined Total War and /twg/
>>162683898
Mongol Invasion
Maybe not 20 USD though
>>162685095

That would be Rome II
But I bet you weren't even around then, you're just shitposting

Wait like you don't have their DLC but you can play them like that?
>>162685231

>>162685095

>>162685095
>ruined Total War
How?
>/twg/
Seems like Attila or Rome 2 can do that just fine on it's own. All that shitposting. Doesn't matter if the games were good or not.
How is it ruined really now?
>>162685095
Too true. CA doesn't even have to bother with the rabid WHFB fanbase they can cut corners everywhere and shovel shit in their faces and they'll beg for more.
>>162685445
People are talking about the newest game which he doesn't like.
>>162685342
Nostalgia shitstorms and rome 2 memeing was rampant around Attila. WAY worse than now.
Okay, guys, just got Attila recently and I'm going to finally get around to trying it. What faction should I start off with to get the hang of the game?
>This one autist complaining about DLC
Did you really expect a GW/CA joint game not to have these prices?
>>162685559
I would rather have every kind of shitposting than the ridiculous amount of shilling that is allowed and sometimes even encouraged here now
If CA tried to charge the same prices they are now for DLC for a historical title they would have been torn apart, but now with Warhammer they've got a precedent.
>>162684247
Attack and damage imo
You will be pulling free spawns out of your ass, and they will die in some minutes, let them go out with a bang
Unless you are going to be fighting Wood Elves for the entirety of the campaign (you are not) magic and projectile resistance seem worse than more killing power
>>162685591
Franks for small
Sassanids for big
One of the goths for horde.
>>162684584
For some reason everyone's much angrier since Wood Elves were released. This is the angriest I've seen /twg/ in ages.

Don't be retarded. These times are way better than that.
Why not focus on posting campaigns from the games you like instead of grumbling about past times you know nothing about.
>>162685498
Oh you have no idea, I wish there was just a season pass I could throw down for, I pre-order every DLC and salivate over it like a hungry dog. This is the game I've always dreamed of and I will fund it to no end to see that the entire world gets released.
You know those craziest that throw thousands at Star Citizen? That's me except with Warhammer.
>>162685994
don`t pay retard
yes it is autistic to complain
don`t buy it and move on with your life, what is shitposting in twg going to change
plus these complaints often come paired with saying the game overall is shitty and lazy so why even give a fuck about the DLC prices if the base game is terrible in the first place
>>162685294
Yep, get that mod and give them a test drive for free.
Poor little Mannfred
>>162686180

None of these retards even posts campaigns. When was the last (or even the first) time you saw a Warhammer campaign get posted?
>>162686193
>why even give a fuck about the DLC prices if the base game is terrible in the first place
Because you fags enable it. You suck off every obvious shill in here like they speak the gospel fucking truth. Because now CA knows people are willing to pay bullshit amounts of money for DLC they're not going to stop in the next game free of GW's influence.
>>162685857

>>162688729
Disband, my man
>>162688729
I keep them. They can grow big pretty fast and I don't have to use growth to recruit a second army.
>>162688784
that's not what they were arguing about anon learn to read
>>162688729
Keep, leave them sitting there alone, growing for 100 turns.

>2 turns
>send 3 agents on 1 army
>60%, 40%, and 20% success rates
>6 fails in a row
I've positioned two artillery units on each side of my deployment zone which should give me a decent crossfire. I'm going to see if I can bait them into the killzone. My infantry are deployed between and around the cannons to protect them with two units of cav on each flank.
>>162689001
I posted a foggy battle a while ago but I didn't realize it was the fog until afterwards, I couldn't see shit in it.
>>162689104
I lost my old Attila one. They are just fun to have. It's history I guess.
The faces on the new one are outdated though.
>>162688729
Keep them and piggy back them with my main army to boost their levels. Then once they're built up break them off to go off on their own.
>Albeit that Wood Elves use magical arrows, they do use the same physic based rules as our other missile units from the other races, so do need clear lines of sight -CA
are they also retarded and shoot straight into a tree. either make AI with the precision ability prioritize targets with unobstructed trajectories or, in the more likely scenario that they don't know how to do that, just let the wood elves shoot through trees to simulate that they aren't retarded and won't shoot trees

>Don't shell out shekels for things that aren't worth it?

>>162689206
I'd forgotten about their reinforcements, but it doesn't matter since it's just one cav unit and I've got two of my own that can intercept anyway.

It's like people don't even pay attention to campaign effects. 2 agents is more than enough for whatever it is you're trying to do. Feel free to have every agent type in a region, but god bless, the 20% reduced chance lasts longer if you spam actions.

The glade guard absolutely needed a buff. Did you honestly make hagbane glade guard in mp?
Wildwood Rangers probably needed a rework more than a buff though, they shouldn't be cost-effective against greatswords if they are also anti-large

They're mad about tresspassing.
They'll die for it.
>>162693903
the beast men campaign specifically targets bretonnia and the empire tho.
>>162694190
I prefer Beasts overall
- Flock of Doom is a decent damage spell
- Pann's Pelt is a solid defensive buff
- Transformation of Kadon for a fun manticore
>>162694732
Only because WE wasnt released back then
is each little marker along a path an additional penalty on trespass score?
Can ranged lords/heroes like glade lords fire their ranged attack when their mount (ie. forest dragon) is in melee?

I don't know but Orion and Treebeard are gunning straight for you anytime you're not hidden, everywhere on the map.
Don't mind me just postin a bear
>>162695663
I did actually notice that. While I was razing some Middenheim settlements and testing out Morghur I ran into fucking Durthu with a dryad army. I crushed him pretty easily b/c spawning 2 Chaos Spawn from nearly dead enemies is OP, but it was pretty weird to find him by turn 8-9 up in fucking Drakwald.
I chuckled when I chose the "devour captives" option when I had just beaten an entire forest spirit army.
Which, if any, of the faction DLC is worth it?
>>162695861
Bears you say?
>>162695936
Beastmen are fun as fuck. Not to mention the voice acting is pretty sick on some of the more badass characters, like the Gorebull.

Should I wait until they're on sale?
>>162696168
>>162696221
Depends on how cheap you are.
most of the big dlc can be bought on g2a, but I dont think they'll go on sale anytime soon
that being said, I would only buy DLC once you've completed the other races. You might be bored of the game by that point.
>>162696297
>>162692019
Fire by platoon is basically a ripple-fire effect down your line with the whole first 2 or three ranks letting loose.
Does anyone know when the tech "Rat Poison" for the dwarfs was added? I dont seem to remember it from my last time playing them this summer. Maybe a hint at skaven as next paid dlc?
I mean the next free one should be bretonnia, if I remember correctly from the official forums, that it is actually free.
Also pic related.

Partyelite fucking sucks both on campaign and in multiplayer. And the funny thing is that autists actually believes that he is some kind of great general. SurrealBeliefs and tokshen are a million times better.

THAT'S RIGHT SKAELING YOU DODGY FUCKS! HOW'S IT TASTE?
Am I just shit or are the Quest battles for the Dwarves just complete bullshit?
Sure you get all those fancy war machines, but I can't fucking use them because I would hit my own guys since I get swarmed from all fucking directions by trolls, squigs and arachnarok spiders.

Okay, can someone tell me how the fuck I start a wood elf campaign? Bretonnians are assholes, wood elf subfactions are assholes, and beastmen just run around everywhere.

Fine work anon, Durthu + Spellsinger is a potent combination, he just doesn't die.
>>162700202
your boy over there could be a retard in the social arena and you're just taking his word for it--knowing that most modders are lil shits
>>162699926
go east not west and bully karak norn/crooked moon, those settlements protected by the mountain terrain which means you don't have to worry about them getting sniped and losing amber. If you are Argwylon you can also try to cheekily steal the Empire Separatist provinces before Franz gives them, which will give you amber and also make the Empire like you. If you are really strapped for cash you can take the other wood elf settlements by force, but don't declare war on the other major wood elf faction so that you can colonize them when you get the tier 3 oak. Also be wary of the beastmen spawning events, as no matter where they occur on the map, it seems that a second horde consistently spawns in estalia
>>162700368
>knowing that most modders are lil shits
A lot of modders are lil shits. Not all of them. Steel Faith guy seems pretty cool to me. I'm not going to pre-judge him just because he's a modder, that's retarded
>>162699926
You have to focus on your economy first, so get those grape vines for income and the buildings that improve income from grape vines.
You don't really need any fancy units in the start, so just spam Eternal Guard and Glade Guard until you have a full stack with about 50/50 each. (You can also disband some of your more elite starting units, because honestly their upkeep is just too fucking high). Then you can start attacking WE factions that hate you and won't have any deals with you.
Also Spellsingers are worth getting early.
Try to get trade agreements and alliances whereever possible with your fellow WE, contact with other factions is really not feasible until you get the teach/council position. (for Brets)
>>162665984
pls no knife ears, just finished a campaign as them
>>162700295
The big cliff on the right side of the map was a life-saver. They would only attack me from two slopes and blobbed up.

THERE IS NO CURSE IS ELVISH, TREEFOLKISH OR THE TONGUES OF MEN FOR THIS TREACHERY
THEY HAVE BUISINESS WITH CHAOS
I HAVE BUSINESS WITH ARCHAON
With the release of the Wood Elves patch, I've been longing to try out the new unique lord for Mousillon, The Red Duke, in campaign mode. I've been raring to try a campaign featuring our resident not!french vampires since the awesome re-texture mod came out for it, but the addition of a named lord cinched it. So I'm going to try and have fun with it and add to the clusterfuck.
For the sake of immersion, I'm gonna put some restrictions and set some goals for myself for the game. Firstly, I'm restricting Monstrous units(incl. Crypt Ghouls) to a max of 25% of the stack. I feel like Mousillon would have less fleshcrafters and vampire crypts to pull out crazy stuff like terrorgheists at a large capacity. Similarly, considering we're Bretonnian vampires, at least 25% of the army has to be Cavalry(which will kick in once I get the building for cavalry). Finally I won't be allowed to take advantage of RoR.
My primary goals for the game are: 1. Destroy Louen's faction and unite Bretonnia under the Red Duke; 2. Take Estalia and Tilea to relive the glory days of when he was, y'know, alive; and 3. Become the master of Sylvania through vassalage or conquest.
So what my first move seems to be is to build up my stack and take Lyonesse and get the province then go from there. I've got no idea how the game will play out though with the two wildcards of the increased Beastmen spawns and murderforest. I'll try and keep you posted on how it goes.

The weaver building upgrades ought to change the way your soldiers from that province look.
