How in the actual fuck have you kept watching that garbage?

The series absolutely nosedived in quality after the first season and since season 3 it has been practically burrowing through the earth's crust, it's reaching the fucking molten core at this point.

It's some of the worst television currently airing outside of Reality TV.

>>163521912
The battles are a bit too arcadey.

The campaign map often leaves you with nothing to do cause apart from characters everything is simplified.

Sometimes it feels small cause if you confederate and conquer a couple of factions, you suddenly own a large chunk of the map.

You are better off waiting till its complete and buying everything at a discount.

>>
>>163521978

Oh god I know.

It's frankly even worse being a bookfag.

The books aren't really anything above middling genre-schlock, but they're still on a level of competency so far about the show that I don't know how the showrunners can read their own scripts and not kill themselves.

Dany in the books still kinda just stumbles around and gets lucky a lot, but at least the reader UNDERSTANDS that that's what's happening, we know, because we can see inside her head, that she really is a scared little girl who has basically no fucking clue what she's doing.

In the show she's "OMG such a badass!!!!!" and we're supposed to believe that her successes are actually to her own credit and not just a combination of blind-luck and help from more competent people.

The fact that the show attempts to make fucking Cersei, one of the most fundamentally morally bankrupt, hypocritical characters in all of fictions sympathetic on some level pretty much tells it all. Especially when compared to how Stannis was treated.

They're playing hard to the "Stronk independent womyn" crowd that doesn't give a shit about quality.

It's probably hard if you have serious autism like most modding teams.
I mean those guys making the middle ages mod for Attila should've just looked at the M2 campaign and did it like CA.
Place factions.
Give factions 3-4 generals with armies.
Put basic buildings into each settlement and maybe something upgraded in the capitals.
Create small family trees consisting of the leader, his heir and maybe one or two siblings.
Adjust diplomatic relations like wars, client states or vassals.

Done and release. Then you can add different extended layers of autims every patch. But no they probably want to have the entire Capetian dynasty from the beginning recreated on release.

Yea they've almost completely sold out catering to the female audience. Most of the remaining protagonists wield an axe wound.

Why did they go back to the ugly as fuck Rome 2 settlement icons in Warhammer? I bought Age of Charlesbarkley and the UI is really nicely detailed in that, where as Warhammer feels like a shitty utilitarian after thought, on top of being ugly as sin.

I really hope now that CA is swimming in dosh will improve a lot of that sort of thing in the sequel. Warhammer is just an ugly game to look at.

you mean like most of the game? the base game was a pile of warm piss and the dlc have been paper towels, it sopped up a lot of the piss sure but now you just have a pile of pissy paper towels.

ill admit i gave it a pass initially because i love whfb but so much about it feels like 5 steps backwards 1 step forward. even after all of this time i cant look past its glaring flaws

would it have killed them add in the dynamic cities from yanno their last 2 fucking titles? hoveldorf sucks. the map in general is one greengrey shit heap, the is some how dumber, building menus and choices suck dick for every race, the campaign pacing sucks, diplomacy keeps getting worse.

Like?

I know Chaos is missing a bunch of shit since they're basically the messiest faction from the tabletop with a billion different monsters and access to chaos variation of shit like Ogres, but what are the other factions actually missing?

Like, literally who the fuck cares if some generic lords and heroes are missing.

They're missing two.

One of which is just a faster four-armed giant which the faction loses nothing by not getting.

The other of which, while it does fulfill a sorta unique role in the faction, is also dumb as fuck and no one liked it when it was added to the newest Beastmen armybook (pic related)

been trying to get into this mod over the last few days, as an overhaul it's good with lots of attention to detail but as a gameplay experience it's fucking garbage

>roster consists almost exclusively of shitty spear levies/militias, even in the late era campaign
>heavy cavalary is insanely powerful, like more powerful than in vanilla powerful
>the ai is only capable of bum rushing you with every unit they have, literally every fight plays out exactly the same because the ai never tries to skirmish/harass before committing literally everything, this becomes extremely stressful given that heavy cav is extremely powerful and pretty much just ignores lines of spear infantry
>2 turns per year means that you can invest more time in your generals, which is good, but it also means that the campaign events which unlock units that aren't spearman take much longer to come around
>almost every settlement is a city/castle which means your options are to assault and lose hundreds of men or wait 8-9 turns before taking a settlement

Why do blazing sun knights have flaming lances? Is this cannon?
>>
>>163527596
I also feel it is pretty overrated. It is also very outdated. Even traits aren't fixed.

>>
>>163527697
>Is this cannon?

No its long sticks imbued with magical fire.
>>
>>163527697

No, but if they didn't have some unique gimmick there would be no point to them even being there.

Incidentally, this is why the people calling for all the other knightly orders to be added are idiots.

Frankly I'm more annoyed by the fact that they don't have unique voice lines.
>>
>>163527697
Knights of the Blazing Sun are arguably the greatest knights in the Empire. Favored by Myrmidia, many warriors are able to set their weapons ablaze with immolating fire, slaying their enemies for the Goddess of War.
>>
>>163523149
>2 knightly orders out of the dozens established
Established in lore maybe, the only one with rules missing from the game are knights of the white wolf. Even saying they are established in lore is real fuckin liberal use of the word established. Named in some random flavor text blurb in a single edition as a misprint that was errata'd is barely establishing them
>bloat bloat bloat
zzz

everything else is legit shitty, though the flc has been nice and i guess anything relating to chaos is being held on for the actual chaos daemons release

Also they seriously need to rework magic from the ground up before bothering with sorceror and shaman lords. Something has to be done with the fucking skills to set them apart from the heroes and furthermore separate the LLs from the lords.

Poor fucking heinrich and gelt

>>
>>163527697
No. They're not magic powered in any way or holy undead purgers as the name and the grim and grave release or being a volkmar starting unit alongside flagellants would imply. They are just knights who dedicated ot Myrmidia after a supposed miracle freak accident saved their asses during a war. The goddess of strategy's emblem is a sun that they put on all their shit. That's about it. Something about mirror shields to blind people, CA decided that was magic resistance for some reason and gave them fire lances because blazing sun sounds cool.
>>
>>163528147
Because sorcerer lords in-game are pretty consistently shit and pointless and should rightly remain relegated to the hero slot.
>>
>>163528034
Looks cool

They should ride giant wolves, not the dingy goblin ones
>>
>>163528221
Are you a teenager? You write like one.

Great Bray Shaman is a lord-level spellcaster. While the doombull is literally just "Gorebull but larger".

GBS would actually add something to the faction: spellcaster lords. While Doombull would just be another combat lord like the Beastlord.
>>
>>163528424
y-you're a teenager

>>163528034
well they do use hammers, thats unique enough i guess

The whole "blazing sun" thing has just been embellished over time. I'm ok with them having flaming attacks, it's the logical conclusion to them constantly getting slightly different fluff.

I'm also fine with it, it's cool as shit and I have a hardon for paladins. I totally agree with that other guy that without a gimmick there really is no point in including any of the knightly orders.

I just finished clearing a stack of beastmen that where helping the elves (lmao), and now I'm trying to rally the brettonnians. I have helmgart fortified if this army is destroyed. Franz and my other generals are out helping stirland against the vampires, franz himself killed manny once already. I'm poor as fuck and didn't have the funds to tech to melee cav.

So I was playing with Morghur and I decided to try out Harpies. Just how good are they as a unit? I stuck four of them in a pitched battle, 2 attacking a Dwarven Lord, and two fighting two units of Quarrellers alone. They didn't die or rout at all like I expected them too, I figured they would melt like Fel Bats.

Will they ever fix Chaos and give us the murder Viking experience we all want?

They're pretty ok, and give beastie boys capabilities they sorely lacked. Note that they're flying melee infantry, and not some kind of monstrous creature; they will handily beat anti-large. I like to use them in concert with cavalry to tie up enemy spear blobs whilst my centigors cycle charge.

Do the recruitment buildings only work locally? For example, do you need both blacksmith and rally fields in the same settlement to recruit halberdiers in that settlement alone and nowhere else in the province?

Because you lack the raw power of other factions to take them on one on one. And as you're the empire you will be one of the first to encounter chaos, and chosen.
>>
>>163538247
you only need lighting strike if you are playing on very hard or higher and each ai faction magically spawns stacks and stacks of units. You only need charge bonus and weapon strength on franz. honest steel in the red tree is super broken so you can get that if you are having trouble

>>
>>163538467
Lightning strike is "mandatory" for every faction because it makes the game ten times easier. AI never takes ls into account and usually decides to attack by bunching up all of it's weak stacks together, making it trivially easy to pick them off one by one and eventually wipe their entire army in a couple of turns.

This skill isn't even OP, it's completely broken.

He's whatever you want him to be, really. Any answer is correct. Pick the one you enjoy the most. I like to think he fucked up and turned his actual face in to gold but couldn't let people know he had that kind of power and so made a mask out of gold to wear over his golden face in order to fool his competitors.

vikings is skippable because it's the worst culture pack

you can grab either longbeards OR celts OR slavs depending on which flavour of barbarian you enjoy the most since they're all kind of the same

the last roman is also not as good as the base game or age of charlemagne and can be safely skipped SO

get blood (mandatory), one barbar pack (or zero if you hate barbars), sand (mandatory), and aoc (mandatory)

i'd honestly just get them all tho cuz they're on sale and they're all p ok

Also, you can just spam spear levies in the early game because they're better in melee than levy infantry. You'll have to manually fight each battle because autoresolve will fuck you, but you can take a large amount of land this way. They're also very good at holding those castles.

Skulkers are a pure flanker unit, they deal a lot of damage, but are very fragile. They also proc their special ability when attacking from behind.

Night Goblins with fanatics will be your main line. Night Goblin archers are decent vs unarmored enemies and your only answer to air units, early on. They're also a pretty decent way to apply poison, which is OP.

It's not a script. The elves confederate all of athel loren by turn 10 so they effectively start with 4 entire provinces. I WISH there were scripts to make certain faction do better, I'm sick of leoncour getting wiped out by a literal map filler faction every game.

Im pretty sure there is an agressiveness variable in their code.

So yeah, its easily fixable, Wood Elves should turtle up and only fight defensive wars since unscripted wild hunts would be far from CA capability right now.

If they had made Wild Hunts as crusades, it could have worked better.

>>163549638
Well Bretonnia can't confederate because they're still considered a minor unplayable faction. All of Bretonnia has become Empire Secessionist tier since they just exist for the Wood Elves to conquer in the early game and no other faction gets to fight them.

One of my empire campaign routines was to force march your first army into the forest outside helmgard turn one and destroy the barracks in altdorf. Then for some reason the AI always runs it's army to elihart then you can take helmgard uncontests. The point of this was to use the starting barracks thee as my permanent barracks. I'd rush upgrade helmgard and quickly give it walls. and a level 3 barracks to finish all the chapter sidequests in time.

Now I think it is better to just upgrade the barracks in altdorf to level 3, and attack grunburg first jsut to activate the quest that gives you a free wizard.

Awakening tribes is a waste of time but you need to do it to get Sigvald

Get the +horde growth blue skill for your lords

Demolish the marauder building to lower the growth costs on more important buildings

Don't recruit a lord if you can't move in the same turn or the single lord will cause attrition to your entire army

Even with the attrition penalty you can still use reinforcements as long as you move them nearby and attack in the same turn

He vaguely recalled Kemmler going on about kingdoms and black magic and hookers the last time they spoke, and in hindsight he should have paid more attention.

You ready for a meme campaign lads? The rules:

I can only recruit Kemmler and Gorst.
I cannot recruit any vampire lords, heroes, or units, including varghulfs and vargheists.
I cannot recruit ghoul units.
I can only conquer the southern realms.
For variety's sake, once I have the south unified, I can recruit one Strigoi lord, with an army composed entirely of monster units, with the goal of becoming feudal ghoul lord of Bretonnia. I can only use him to conquer Bretonnia, and I cannot use any other lords there. Bretonnia has to be run like it's own separate kingdom.

After these goals are met, I'll let /twg/ give me goals. Be creative, like helping Belegar conquer Eight Peaks, only to take his other holdings, and shut him in there permanently, and give him a hundred grudges that he can't avenge.

Of course, you won't have the powerboost of Kholek or early magic like Archaon

We deal with the rebels in the west, and a long-standing rebel stack besieging Akendorf decides to just leave it be, on literally the last turn before capturing it.

You're always expected to take more damage than the defender in sieges, but like any battle try to take advantages of weaknesses
Get as much of your cav and arty off to the side where they're only getting pelted by one or two towers instead of 3
Get as much men on the walls/through the gates as you can asap
Send siege towers to attack walls that have undefended archers on them
Put your archers in a corner where there towers can't hit and have them volley on the garrison
etc

The walls and towers are their advantages, It's about removing that as soon as you can

Do you think we could do it, guys?

They have so few melee units, if I can get enough undead to the walls, I can easily swarm them.

Alternatively, I could bugger off and stop their full stack that's heading towards my Border Princes territory. I think recruiting a second Necro lord just for zombie spam wouldn't be against the spirit of the rules.

I can't, as I said I've got a full Tilean stack beelining for my heartland.

Early game tips for Empire players.

It's very easy to blitz Carroburg without getting into a big war in the early game. Just make sure you have united Reikland before declaring war on Middenland. You can immediately peace out with Middenland after taking Carroburg.

It is also important you have a big army when doing this because it will increase the chance for a quick peace treaty.

Carroburg is a strategically important town because it makes moving around in your core land in Reikland much eaiser(You don't have to navigate around the big forest). It's also easy to defend. Hopefully CA will add Knights Panther making Carroburg even more useful.

Box formation with your halberds/swords, use the outriders as moral shocks, you are probably going to have to try and break his entire army at once.

Fellow vnderstanders, give me your tactical recommendations. I love planning ambush battles.
>>
>>163561596

they have no cavalry, set handgunners on flanks, first line of swords, second line of halbers, third line of crossbows.

Mortar on the very back targetting nasty skulkers or night goblins, use outriders to harass and if you manage to make some of them pursue them, its great value.

Skarsnik will probably be a deciding factor in this battle

Sick the knights and ghosts on their cav from either side, you should be able to trap them.

If their general doesn't have a weapon then let your foot-ghosts kill him, if he does then let some speak skellies poke at him until he runs away.

Other than that come at them from both sides and buff with cart from one angle and Kemmler from the other.

Shogun 2 or Attila? Which gets my shekels and why. Please and thanks.
>>
>>163562067
>>forever destroying your relationship with Middenland and Nordland because you wanted to take a burden of a settlement

The war is so fast you don't really take a serious relation hit with them. Nordland will often refuse to join Middenland or will peace out right away. You can also get a non-aggression pact with Middenland peace treaty.

Having that faster movement in Reikland is always useful, especially against potential norscan raids and any unforeseen attacks that will require you to move quickly. It will also unsure an eaiser defence of your Reikland towns while you build up their expensive defences in the early game.

Shogun 2 has the far better setting.

We start with spearmen on one side, other skellies and zombies on the other, with our cav and spectral units at the back to rush their pistoliers.

We tie down most of the pistoliers, but one unit escapes. Instead of a perfect sandwich, their faster infantry units let them set up a one-on-one duel with our our skellie units, but our spookums hold out because the enemy units started out Very Tired.

Vampire Counts are the most annoying faction in the game. Even one-city subfactions pump out 3 or 4 stacks of skeletons that just swarm cities. I send a good stack to clear them out, then they come right back with more skeletons.

Even worse, in order to end it all you have to march into their territory, which by then you'll suffer attrition so unbearable you won't be able to clear their cities.

It's not worth it early on since trade is borderline impossible as Empire due to everyone hating you. Mid game you won't need the pitiful amount of money you get from it, and the military buildings in Altdorf are worth way more than that. The clay building is total shit since it provides garbage bonuses, fuck all income and again, it won't be traded out.

It scores a 1/10. Fucking Dwarfs, Vampires & Greenskins all start with gold in their capital. Empire gets clay. Fuck you, GW.

I have a lot of fun playing battles in Attila, but the campaign map is just so tedious.

Between managing city stuff and army integrity and family politics I find that I worry a lot more about like... whether my religion can take hold of a province rather than my soldiers.

It's just irritating. I constantly feel on the edge of a disaster from starvation or disease or rebellion. In Warhammer management is just more satisfying. I have more room to fight because if the enemy defeats me somewhere it's not going to wreck an entire province.

FotE is finished with AoC. You could ignore FotE and get Age of Vikings, which is a mod for Age of Charlemagne that pushes the setting forward by a hundred years or so.

All these spear and skirmishers units man. At least it plays much smoother than warham.

Splint your horse archers into 2 or 3 groups and force the enemy to move around until you get a clear shot on their general

Snipe the general, use whistling shot to futhur reduce their morale, watch em all rout then ez butchering

After crushing the elven armies, gelt sacks two for the tree houses and bring home 20k for the empire. Industry in reikland is booming. A coalition of the brettonian lords has been formed as a result of the war, all are eagerly trading with us. Orion has effectively been neutered, and now athel loren is surrounded by 3 brettonian stacks who seem to be scared to enter the forest. It is decided to let the elves regrow their forest homes, so that we may take more of their elf gold in the future.

MEANWHILE franz has secured the port city of maurienburg, and riches flow into the empire. Nordland and middenland have eagerly agreed to an alliance with us, all of the northern empire stand united and strong. Out east the vampire counts are enroaching into stirland. Despite one of our archlector personally protecting his capital city, those retards keep getting into trouble and their army has been obliterated again. Perhaps it is time for volkmar to take to the field and begin an epic crusade of purification.

South in the badlands, the dwarves apepar to be winning their conflict with the greenskins but we have limited intel.

Why spread yourself across all of their fields of fire?

Just bunch your towers on one side and spread once you're in

>>163578517
Chaos Invasion is annoying, because of how simple it can turn the game. If I'm playing Vampire Counts, Chaos will raze a good part of the Empire and Kislev for me to settle later. And when their leader falls once (and if you manage to clear up the rest of the stacks, which should be nearby because they will follow him), that's it. Chaos is defeated. It's boring.

That was a fucking mess, but we didn't lose anything irreplaceable.

I like being able to take losses like this and just replenish it all within two turns. Might keep a primarily skelly-zombie army into the late game.

>>
>>163579356
that your entire army gets obliterated and your lord dies 95% of the time you lose 1 battle. while if you win a battle you can expect your entire force to replenish in two turns. this eliminates the tug of war aspect. I'd gladly remove the auto replenish, force retraining like in older games, in exchange for being able to actually fight battles.
