How would you go about beating this army?

I've only had a few hours in TW:W and I went to do a custom battle, only to find this enemy Greenskin army already set up. It took me fucking ages to beat it, I finally managed with a VC army made up of Vlad, two Wight Kings, the Tithe, Sternsman, four Graveguard (half with great weapons), two Crypt Horrors, two Blood Knights and the Claw of Nagash. Everything had a few chevrons too.

I wonder how they are going to make their mechanics play in the game. You would have to slowly prepare ambushes to take over a city, poison local wells? Send gutter runners to eliminate crucial targets?

Fuck me I can't wait to dig a tunnel straight to the dorf holds/human cities and attack their town from the inside and take it over.

Pikes are OP my man

take a while to get used to though, extremely effective and dicking enemy melee infantry and cav just because they walk into your pikes nonstop. After a while you might wanna decide to move in, so you can have your pikes just move through enemy blob crushing them to death or some stupid shit like that.

Levies are good once you're close to the unit upgrade for them but other than that just avoid them unless you're broke.

There are no cracks working for Warhammer. The ones you've posted either are outdated or are simply steamrips (when you click the .exe steam opens up asking you for the game)
>>
>>164151903
Cheers. What made me nervous about using the pikes is that they're actually cheaper than the levies are. I noticed they take more casualties if I'm lazy and auto-calc a battle. Used them in a siege defense too earlier and they routed first. But then again they were at the front of the attack for longer.

If they turn out to be shit I'll just disband them and retrain. Luckily got some Comitatensis Spears too from some tributes.

Treemen hidden in your deployment, just in case you need to fall back
Waystalkers hitting the lord and/or the gobbo boss while hidden (the lil' fucker will catch you and hold you for the spiders)
Glady mounted on great eagle. all abilities + potion of toughness, hitting the warboss as main priority
Horses spread in both flanks (open plains)
Fliers too (1 Great eagle, 1 Hawk riders) each flank
Great eagle to hit annoying gobo archers
Wild riders, one on each flank, charge weak targets and pursue until shattered, flee from the spiders

They'll lose to any swordmen or skirmisher unit easy. But they're great against trash/monsters/cav and with the right support can hold their own.

For example I had a mostly cheap stack with a bright wizard and mostly spears go up against a larger dwarf stack. I keep spamming out the spell that gave them armor piercing and they did manage to see them off.

You've just got to manage them and balance out your force right. if you just had a shit stack that was spear spam it would fall apart fast.

As dwarfs you should start with unifying and securing your starting province. Securing means building walls in the unwalled towns. When you have done that you can expand north. There are some really good towns there like Mount Gunbad. The walls will buy enough time to go back to your main province if there is a big greenskin invasion.

How many turns does that that usually take? I feel like i go very slow.
>>
>>164157056
Dwarf start can be pretty slow. If you don't have the funds for a large army just go around sacking the weaker Orc settlements for cash. Try to get enough money to hire their hero with a population growth ability (runesmith?).
>>
>>164157056

Optimally you can get Mt Gunbad on 8-15, it really depends if the nearby dwarfs get it before you and if the orcs there build walls. That makes it take longer.

Units to recruit are mostly miners. They do superb vs orcs and are much cheaper than dwarf warriors. Wanna delete your capital's barracks and replace it with a gold mine once you capture the nearby orc town that has a barracks already in it. I upgrade that barracks so I can recruit quarrelers. By turn 4 or 5 you should get a quest battle near the 3rd town, has a handy reward and gives lots of XP for your leader.

Going slow as dwarfs can be dangerous, as Grimgor usually comes towards you around turn 10-20 if he kills the purple dwarfs near you off early on. He will usually have 2 armies (a waaagh) and will steamroll your capital, so keeping an eye out for that and having a 2nd army in your capital can help a lot.

The worst thing about dwarfs is that they are pretty slow until your capital is tier 4, allowing you to make the insane artillery and infantry. Your units are mostly mediocre until then.

Dwarf tech is simple. Getting the 2 town income techs and then the 2 trinket maker techs is a huge income boost. The public order tech is handy and saves having to upgrade a public order building. After those techs I sometimes go for the diplomacy boost tech, to help get trade deals with nearby people.

If you're worried about taking things too slowly, then vampires are an excellent slow campaign. You have to spend fucking forever spreading vampire corruption so you don't have to deal with constant rebellions so taking it slow is a must.

He meant that the sheer amount of hatred he feels for all living things can only be matched by the amount of hatred he feels toward the Chaos Gods. They are aware of this and find it incredibly amusing that a former Witch Hunter born from the rape of an Imperial Woman by a Norscan Raider who hates Chaos more than anything is also their Champion. In Archaon's eyes the entire world is nothing more than an expression of the Chaos Gods' will and he would rather burn it to ashes than live one more day.

So, at the end of the day, Archaon is the Chosen of the Gods because he hates them more than anything.

Why are wood elves so fun?
>>
>>164164738

because its a part of the lore that they'll shit on to be kid-friendly.

would you be okay if they gave empire riflemen nerf guns instead of realistic looking rifles because "guns look scary and not for kids"? Would you be okay if they never released an option for blood? If the answer is no, then the same applies here.

Slaanesh is about excess and shit like that, so nudity is core to their factions look. There's exposed breasts on tons of their models, so covering them up would be the same as having no blood or skulls for khorne, or no diseases for nurgle

rifle outriders are great for pecking apart armored infantry. pistoleers are good against beastmen.

the AI for most of the races tends to bring along so many flanker and fast cav units that they can tricky to use. rifle outriders can get hundreds of kills if you can sneak them around behind the enemy.

>>
>>164167875
It's arguably one of the best. It has a huge map with tons of factions. Although a cynical man would say these factions are just different variations of "mailed man with a beard, gruff voice and spear".

It takes the good stuff Rome 2 did, but dumps a lot of the shit and fixes it. It has the Age of Charlemagne campaign too that will scratch that itch of wanting Medieval 3 slightly.

And if you enjoyed the Barbarian Invasion DLC then expect this to be very familiar.

Would wholeheartedly reccomend.

Factions are all added to the campaign, whether you own the dlc or not, so you'll have a fuckton of factions no matter what. Empires of Sand is really good though.
>>
>>164168230
You get all of the factions there, no matter what so don't worry about that. The DLCs are just so you can play as them. The Empires of Sand DLC opens up more of the Africa/Arabia area that you generally don't have many options to start there without.

The rest it all depends on who you want to play as personally. The factions still show up though and you can interact with them, see their fluff and flavour. Buying the DLC is just to play as them.

I don't use mods though so I can't recommend any.

Calling them "Close quarters infantry" is a bit misleading, then.
>>
>>164172461

they're decent in combat, so you can use them to screen your heavier infantry. Place them well in front of your battleline, let them shoot incoming enemies, then they can engage in combat when the enemy approaches. they can buy you precious time to maneuver or you could be boring and just flank with them I guess

Playing Medieval II and the game runs perfect with everything maxed out in literally every single situation except for when walls crumble due to siege weaponry.

Dumb.

The mechanics should be that there is a "Skaven" faction which is governed by the council, existing in Skavenblight and is not playable. The playable skaven factions are the big shot clans, starting in various places. By default, all skaven teams are military allianced to the "Skaven" faction, which cannot be broken, nor can any alliances be made with any other skaven teams. Other deals like trades are fine though.

So they can all sort of vaguely get along, but if one clan starts to do really well, the "Skaven" faction declares war on them, making all the other skaven teams also declare war on them. Eventually once that one clan is weakened enough, peace can be made and things return to normal.

This continues indefinitely until the End Times, where the ability for the skaven teams to confederate with the "Skaven" faction is allowed, and if one is a player, then the player gains control of the "Skaven" faction upon confederating.

Either that or do it like FotS where the strongest clan is named champion, and leads the rest.

I just need to take Vienna and use it as a bargaining chip to end the war, but I don't have enough strength in the area to do it. My army north of the alps is too small to breakthrough that Austrian army in the way, and I can't pay Russia to make peace.

My opinion is that you will probably be happier buying it from Steam. Warhammer is only like 10 bucks cheaper with the cheapest key from g2a, minus $3-4 for shield if you get that. For that reason, I wouldn't get shield if I were you, cuz that's kind of ruining the point in buying from the site anyway.

I've never bought from a seller on g2a. Just have seen threads on /v/, could've been full of shills though, who knows.

I'm a Stainless Steel fan because I like the extra provinces and stuff. So I'd recommend that if you're looking for an experience that's like a more refined vanilla. But a lot of people have a problem with it that I don't personally understand. De Bello Mundi is also supposed to be a great mod. Like Europa Barbororum but for Medieval 2, but I've never played it before.

Then there are the Warhammer, and Third Age mods. Which are god tier in their own rights. But I'd suggest playing at least a historical version before trying those.
They are amazing though so at some point give them a try.

Total War: Kingdoms was removed from steam and didn't work in the traditonal way that all mods were set up for. What ended up happening was instead of using the Kingdoms mod loader, you' rely on the steam DLC loader instead.

So if you had a ton of pre-downloaded mods for Kingdoms, you then would need to re-install it to those methods, or you couldn't really play them.

Some mods were too old and dead so you were fucked if used the steam version.

Total war: New World when?

A campaign as the Spanish fucking up some Natives with superior weaponry sounds great.

I know medieval 2 had this, but seeing it updated for current graphics and mechanics would be tops.
>>
>>164192484
Total War already has a problem of turning into a slow steamroll after a while, coming in with vastly superior weaponry would amplify that greatly.
The only reason the Medieval 2 version was good is because you didn't play as the westerners, you had to challenge them.

Pikes kill cav, cav kill musketeers and artillery, artillery kills everything slowly, musketeers kill everything from a a moderate distance, not too far and not too close and also they can run away from danger

Also sometimes you have rondeleros with shields... who kill everything up close, even pikes.

Creative Assembly originally described Total War: Shogun as a complex game of rock-paper-scissors, and that's exactly what pike and shot would offer.

Unit variety really depends on which part of the world they decide to focus on.
Spain, France, England, Sweden and the Empire would basically have the same roster with maybe one or two unique units like Rondeleros for Spain, Longbowmen for England or Hakkapeliitta for Sweden.
If the map end up also including Eastern Europe then you'd have muh more variety since Poland, Russia, the Ottomans and Cossacks would have quite different rosters and style of warfare compared to Western Europe.

In general you cant fight the stunties unit to unit until you get blackorcs. Avoid fighting doomstacks and focus on forcing the orcs to confederate with you. Always be raiding, fighting or sacking cities for made dosh and to get your WAAAGH! up. Once you've got a WAAAGH! going, you can autoresolve vs stunty doomstacks, because its really the only way to do it.

And seriously, sack towns, you get insane amounts of money. Got 34k from an orc town before. Almost all my provinces have max infrastructure because I've been getting so much loot monies

Make AI that can effectively handle them

That was the thinking behind the direction they went with Warhammer, not making the towers stronger, but making siege maps the AI could think about and fight in effectively.

Except that there were also foot/horse archers and two handers around. The armies in the east were really diverse unit wise.
If you combine that with the fact that the campaign would start in 1500 with plate armor and knights you would get a nice mix of modern and medieval units/battles (like fots).
Additionally you have uncolonized territories in America with completely different enemies.

The battles would be much more diverse than in a medieval 3 or a vicoria total war.

>>164137112
It doesn't matter if the enemy kills 20 units of your spearmen if you have 40 on the field.

>>164142462
Crossbows have more DPS. They're useful against low-armor units like monsters, flying units, damage dealers (many units have 0 armor) etc.

And amassed they work well enough to kill an enemy leader, despite their armor and missile resistance.

And they're cheaper.

Go with a broader scope (1492-1650 or some such) and pike and shot works. It'd just be like Fall of the samurai where late era your army is 'modernized' (this time with pike and shot). Also the upgrading from the arquebus to the musket.

>>164210250
The problem is killing Karak Norn. By the time I have a full stack (turn 5) they've got a 12 man garrison and a 15 man army sitting in that city. If I take Grimhold, Cucklegar Nohammer comes in with a full stack and sweeps. I instead went north and blew up Empire Successionist cities and raided Wissenland until I got a Waaagh and then went after Karak Izor.
>>
>>164211806
Karak Norn will usually leave to attack Karak Azgaraz if they think you aren't around. I say usually because sometimes they'll just sit in their settlement instead and try to make a new stack. So go into an ambush stance near Karak Norn and hopefully they'll think you're gone and go for your capital, and then you can take Karak Norn thanks to your spider.
>>
>>164211806
a lot of success in the early game in total war games is winning some key decisive battles in the early game and using cunning to get around your foes. most of the time on harder difficulties waiting to get a full stack to attack is just wasting time and slowing your expansion down.

using ambushes and other stances to get around your enemy and hit them hard and early.

You're a sneaky git, be a sneaky git.

also a full stack of gobbos is still a stack of gobbos.

>>
>>164211806
your mistake is attacking Empire at all, you should never bother, you need to get into the Badlands fairly early and you need to wipe out Angrund. Simpel trick to start with, build a stack at least 18, some archers skulkers and spears. Then move towards norn so they see you and next turn underway into empire land. Start building forces in azgaraz and approach azgaraz from the empire side with skarnsik down the slope in ambush. Norn will attack azgaraz and you'll get an intercept. it's easy as fuck to wipe that stack out and then norn and grimhold are yours turn 13.

IMHO, the only interesting thing in that whole 'period' (1500 to 1700) would be the replacement (or unification) of a bunch of fanatical feudalistic religious nuts, by a few 'orderly' empires. And that's all political.

Tactics of the rock-papers-scissors style (above inf-cav-arty) - and the interesting matchups we all love (and expect) in these games - would be totally impossible.

early campaign is a spear levy simulator
ranged units are needlessly nerfed even though they weren't that strong in the base game
1 year per turn, enabling 2 years per turn means waiting 200 turns instead of 100 turns for good units to unlock
almost impossible to reach the final settlement level in a timely manner/at all meaning you can't get a lot of the best units
heavy cav is insanely, retardedly strong
adds shitty stock music for no reason
unstable, crashes exponentially more as the game goes on
