Start out with Shogun 2 then Fall of the Samurai then Attila. Or check out the other historical titles in the series after playing Shogun 2

Shogun 2 is pretty much the most polished and the easiest title to get into Total War

As for videos you can check out channels like Heir of Carthage or MrSmartDonkeyLP
>>
>>164441206

For history games I have no idea who to watch, but PartyElite teaches Warhammer basics. It's applicable to most games, though, since military tactics hasn't changed much, even in a fantasy setting.

As for a starting game, Shogun 2. Attila has way more complex and punishing campaign mechanics than Shogun 2. If you want an easy jump-in point, Rome 2 would probably be best. Its campaign is simple enough to get good at and isn't too punishing like Attila, and it's slower than Shogun 2, giving you plenty of time to figure out what you are actually doing. Having said that, Shogun 2 is still a good starting point.

Zombies are superior to raise with the raise dead spell. Their meatshield capabilities are okay, but they need leadership or they'll just disintegrate really quick.

The other consideration is that VC rush, and zombies are slower than your other units.

Nope, because we'll probably never see a total war engine able to take that many soldiers at once, but that would be grand. A total war: Romance of the three kingdoms game would be neat, fights would be literal sea of infantry going against one another so you'd have to use actual tactics to make things managable.

Thanks to some bullshit I got Total Warhammer for cheap. Its my first TW and I'm enjoying it so far but I have almost no clue what I'm doing. Is there some general path I should be taking through each campaign?
All I can do right now is work with old RTS experience. Send melee vs melee, ranged vs ranged, flank where you can, etc, but I doubt that's going to work past easy mode. Is there some trick I'm going to need to learn before I start messing around with flying and monster units?
I've only been playing dwarfs so far if that makes any difference

false positives are not that rare, raise an issue with CA over it. Though it might be a known problem.

>>164446627
First off, there are two difficulty sliders.
You only see one when starting the game, this is the campaign difficulty. This primarily affects campaign AI, Agressiveness, lack of willingness to cooperate, and public order penalties.
It is set at start.

In addition to this, battle difficulty scales with what you set your campaign AI, it gives light bonuses to enemy morale and shit on the battlefield.
A lot of people don't like this, and you can change it once the campaign has started, and playing a very hard campaign with easy battles still gets you the very hard cheevos and shit.

Just to keep in mind.

You'll see hammer and anvil repeated ad nauseum here. This is for sensible reasons. it is the be all-end all for fucking up the AI.

Rather than melee ranged cavalry designations, the primary property of a unit is how it fits into hammer and anvil really.

Missiles weaken the enemy anvil and scare off some hammer units, they also do deny enemy missiles. Artillery does the same but at extended range. The primary strength of artillery is, defending or attacking: If you have an arty advantage the enemy MUST attack you.

Then you have your hammer and your anvil.
Anvil can usually be the cheapest part of your army and hammer is often the most expensive.

Understand that being in combat and charging are very important cornerstones to the gameplay.

If you engage in melee, you are essentially using CC on the enemy unit, which leaves them wide open to be flanked. Charges give (most) units a very significant bonus in combat. With most shock cavalry the bonus is so substantial you want to charge, run out of combat and charge again.
Note that charges do use your targetting, if you issue an attack order on an enemy archer far away, and your unit gets blindsided halfway, your unit did NOT charge into combat.

However he died, the Khan took great pains to keep his final resting place a secret. According to legend, his funeral procession slaughtered everyone they came in contact with during their journey and then repeatedly rode horses over his grave to help conceal it. The tomb is most likely on or around a Mongolian mountain called Burkhan Khaldun, but to this day its precise location is unknown.

pt. 2

I just read that you're playing stunties, they're a good easy entry point I suppose(especially for campaign map) but they lack varied tools and considerations other factions have.

Flying units can only get back in the air if they're away from enemy units, so really swift cavalry can pin them down indefinitely.
Overall flying units are fairly intuitive and you should have no problem understanding their role.

Monstrous units are also very intuitive, the basic assumptions of less models but splash damage is reasonable. The thing to keep in mind both against and while using large units is that missiles can shoot over the melee and hit the tall fuckers really easily. Two crossbows focus firing can almost make a giant vanish into thin air.
A not so obvious feature to monstrous units is that their mass allows them to push through units, and their splash damage works as psuedo-range sometimes.
An example of this is as VC, using basic infantry to engage, and then charging your crypt horrors through the back of your infantry into the enemy. Whereas doing the same with a second infantry unit kinda just blobs it up behind the first.

Mass is an important point as well. It mostly refers to the ability of a unit to ignore everything around it and move.
It's probably the biggest weakness of the entire stuntie faction by far, but it's only a real concern in multiplayer.

And AP damage, in SP is mostly a concern of who you're fighting.

Fighting dorfs/chaos, use handgunners. Fighting anyone else use crossbows.

That's all I can think of right now. Ask more specific questions if you have them.

>>164447381
Don't use them against anything armored to start with. They're just a unit you can kinda be mobile with and stretch their health a bit further by being out of combat. Nothing standout.
>>
>>164447250

add to the current roster

>Questing Knights (greatweapons melee cav, armour piercing)
>Grail Pilgrims (high defence + leadership infantry, shields)
>Errant Knights (cheaper shock cav)

Lords
>Prophetess of the Lady (Wizard Lord)

Legendary Lords
>Louen Leoncouer (Franz 2.0)
>The Fay Enchantress (Wizard LL)
>The Green Knight (Ethereal LL, can use world roots).

It's not a bad roster. Perhaps they need to make a Paladin Lord and another Melee Hero to round out the Lord and Hero selection?
>>

>>164447828
They don't really have any issue with Bretonnia and they do help one another out a fair bit.
It's just religious differences that keep one another from being true partners all of the time.

>>
>>164447250
Kislev is the biggest. The actual roster should focus on skirmishers and skirmisher cav, melee infantry and War Bear cavalry. And Ice Wizards.

Otherwise, Estalia, Tilea and the Border Princes should have their own roster, but it would be fairly similar to the Empire. Just pikes and less artillery. But they should get Dogs of War regiments of Renown so you could get crazy shit like Slayer Pirates, and Ogres along with some beefy Pike and Crossbow units

>>
>>164448082
Grail Pilgrims/Reliquae are the same thing, although perhaps making them separate would be a good idea.

Technically speaking, yeah, Bretonnian Lords are (almost) all Grail Knights and Paladins are hero units only, but it would nice to have a more diverse Lord selection. Not a big deal though
>>
>>164446627
i'm pretty experienced in all total war games besides Warhammer. Warhammer is a different experience to a point from what i've heard.

Generally you want more surface area of attack than the otherside when it comes Melee fighting. If you can get 2 units to fight one unit from the same direction thats great in the short term. Your unit will eventually lose because the other side will just outlast your unit, but it allows you free up a unit that you can use to hit the 2 units in the flank or that be used to create local superiority. Clumping up units wont make the other side die any faster. The archetypal example of this is the Battle of Cannae between Rome and Carthage.

Local superiority is another important thing. Theres "global" superiority which is having the most units in the entire battle. But local superiority is having the most units in a small part of the fight. Say on the right side of your line you have 5 units and they have 3.

Global superiority makes it much easier to have local superiority, but using clever maneuvering and "pinning" the other sides troops into useless 3v1 fights(where theyre all facing the same direction) you can create local superiorities and eventually win a fight. one example of a "pinning" tactic is the battle of Dara, between the Byzantines and the Sassanids. the Byzantines used the trench to "pin" the infantry of globally superior Sassanid army. Then he used local superiority to win the fights on the flank(also he used ambushes) and gained the upper hand and won the battle.

Cavalry is great for doing both of these as well as preventing them from happening to . Keep them at the wings to fight off other cavalry and to kill off the other sides cavalry.

Also keep a small part of your force in reserve behind your main line to shore up parts of your line that are vulnerable of being broken through(this is an effective use of clumping up your troops) and to prevent flanks and local superiorities.
>>
>>164448035
what about Araby, Nippon, and those Amazons?
>>
>>164448082
technically the Grail reliquae is part of the grail pilgrim unit. I could see them having it as a separate unit however.

>>164447868
A peasant hero character would be neat.

Sort of like in shogun 2 you could have the heroic ashigaru.

A heroic peasant. Perhaps able to be armed with a long bow. Sort of similar to the wood elf sniper hero but not nearly as snipey. good at ranged attacks, decent in melee, but mostly about buffing peasant units.

Similar to the Bertrand (totally not robin hood) the brigand.

Doesn't really need to be melee due to paladins.


Also I hope damsels get Life and Beast lores. (I would also like light. but I know that bretonnia never did get to use light for whatever reason)

Apologists are the worst. The man genocided over half the Eurasian continent seemingly because he liked killing people and raping their women. His plunder of China was so traumatic that one of the most advanced civilizations the world has ever seen literally never recovered and stayed in a state of near complete stagnation. He literally took millions of prisoners of war just to kill them in the most brutal way possible because he's a sick freak. Seriously, after the Battle of the Kalka River, he built floor boards on top of his prisoners and feasted on top of them to the sounds of their death. His trade routes that he defended did nothing but spread the bubonic plague to Europe, where even after death, the khan indirectly managed to destroy another culture for no reason. His "religious tolerance" was because he saw himself as a god higher than all the petty gods of men and thus didn't give a shit who people worshiped as long as they worshiped him in some way. People who defend Temujin are literally "but Hitler fixed the economy!" or "but Stalin advanced social justice!" tier.

Araby is the most significant of those by far, but still not too pertinent to many factions(at least in the psuedo-end times setting where the other races offer a threat. They're also incredibly unlikely because CA would need fairly original assets for them.

Nippon and Cathay are REALLY far away, and left very ambiguous to the audience.

Amazons are a very light bit of flavour to Lustria and are probably less relevant than even the halflings in the Empire.

>>164447381
They're a good early game unit since they can do a bunch of things alright. Position them behind your main line and on a hill and they can fire into the enemy if the enemy makes a hole, and then charge in to fill the gap, or have them swing around the side aiding in fighitng off enemy skirmishers and then hitting the rear of the enemy line. in mid game they can set up flanking maneuvers or ambushes for enemy light elements. in late game they lose all effectiveness and should be replaced with professionals
>>
>>164448426
not really touched on as far as I can tell. The Empire and Bretonnia had proper army books which is where the units come from, while Kislev and the Dogs of War (which represents all the southern nations) have had official rules released before, from where CA could develop armies.

Having said that, Araby will need to be introduced when the Tomb Kings are added so there's that, Amazons when they do the western continents (and we'll hopefully get Pirate Vampires)

The easiest thing to do for battles by far is to watch the small video guides on Part Elite's youtube channel, he goes into the core concepts of Total War games vs traditional RTS.

As far as Campaign goes, it really is free form & depends on your faction but just remember that diplomacy is do-able & useful, expansion is necessary & as you get stronger so will other factions.

You also want to make sure you're decently prepared for the Chaos invasions at like what turn 100?

The core of TW battles is morale & sending your opponents fleeing the battlefield.

The most basic & important way of doing that is by clashing with them in a sort of battle line vs battle line & then smashing them from behind in a flank attack - ie. Hammer & Anvil.

With your archers how you said you do ranged vs ranged, while you might start the battle with ranged units skirmishing, what you really want to keep in mind is that shields facing in the direction of where the missiles are coming from can help block the missile fire, so hit them in the side/behind & especially target unshielded high value units like all those 2handed melee units running around waiting to be shot to shit.

On for just a sec, but I am not sure how to do that. The CDIR unit priority table assigns values that seem to dictate unit quality in the AI's eyes. I made sure to model or even exceed the vanilla values and set it up so higher grade units had higher values (the same way they did in vanilla - a cataphract would have a high value while a slinger would have a low one).

Clearly that doesn't fix it. You could make it so lower quality units are lost at higher tiers, but that can lead to problems on its own too.

I'd ask AE or whatever other mods are out there how they've made the AI recruit more higher grade stuff.

Yes due to.mobility and the fact a charge can cut deep. Disorder is what you want because panic is contagious and if people perceive there is no escape they will run. Cavalry is superior to infantry for that reason. Infantry is the board the nail goes in. It holds them. That's why cavalry should be uncommitted and left to keep the opponent off balance.

It really depends how you use them. They do a ton of damage on their own but will be overwhelmed.

But, if you charge them in first and then have a unit follow in behind to smash into the broken formation they both end up doing a ton of work.

Honest question, whom do Hungarians hate the most?
Turks, Romanians or Austrians/Germans?
>>
>>164465690
You can already do that in both Empire and Napoopan.
>>
>>164465773
Very easily turks no competition at all.
Romanians aren't relevant enough to be hated. They just hate the powers that forced them to cede land to Romania.
Austrians at least saved them from the Turks the first time around, and they were pretty loyal to the German cause recently.

>>164465773
I guess Ottomans, than the Austrians back in 1848 and now Turks.

Question about Attila.

When playing as WRE, what territory do you want to defend at all costs, besides the African plains?

In my current campaign I'm making a point of defending Rome and Carthago at all costs, but as I start to lose territory in Germany I'm getting worried I won't be able to defend Italia.

I already know Britannia is mostly a lost cause, but with a bit of luck and skill I still haven't lost a province in turn 20. Should I start thinking of developing and trying to hold it more dearly, or is the worst still to come?
>>
>>164463941
Looks like a movie about the Russo-Japanese War.
>>
>>164466230
You can hold everything if you play it right. You're still almost too big to fall.
Just give it your best shots, play your defeats and see how well you go.
>>
>>164466230
There are gold mines in spain which are, well, gold mines for cash. Hold on to them at all costs.

Not how it works.

Shields/armor/etc only negate a portion of the attack, not the attack itself

Ergo it doesn't matter how awesome the unit supposedly is, if it gets hit with enough arrows at once it dies every single time.

You can build up stack after stack of the most garbage-tier horse archers and they will shred the most expensive elite roman legions every single time.

It is hilarious.

Too bad cavalry heavy charge armies arent viable in this game like in Med 2 and Rome 1. You could create whole armies of cataphracts and perform frontal charges, or bait with archers and then shatter with a charge. MP is even worse, with point buy. From the TT book I read, an even point buy with chaos knights and heros should shatter and empire line, but that doesnt work in this.

It's the mythical first hold of the dwarfs.

All they know is that it's supposed to be located somewhere in the Southlands (WHFB Africa). No one knows if the dwarfs of Karak Zorn are still alive or if they're all dead.

Occassionally the dwarfs send an expedition down to the Southlands to try and find it but the few that return report nothing other than endless jungles and a fuckload of angry skinks.

It is slower because of horrible public order and constantly needing to defend against random hordes turning up and sacking your settlements for no reason.

Rate of fire and the speed debuff. Volume of shots is way more important when shields are involved.

>>164462989
If you can't understand the FUN of allowing bloodsucking parasites to exist as subservient citizens in your empire, all the while understanding that they will one day try to usurp your rule, then I can surmise you have never played Dwarf Fortress.

I would accept immediately.
>>
>>164473251
Because dismounting to pick up more ammo and carrying a big bag of rocks on your saddle are both equally inconvenient.

Firing a sling accurately requires a lot of training.

Firing a sling accurately while riding a horse is next to impossible.

At least that's my rational guess.

Not sure about these guys but cavalry did it during WW2.
>"With the camp under fire, Col. Bettoni Cazzago had no choice but to order, as a last resort, a cavalry charge with drawn sabers and hand grenades against entrenched infantry."
>"Col. Bettoni Cazzago ordered then the 2nd squadron (over 100 horsemen) to attack the enemy on the left flank. Under command of Cpt. De Leone, the squadron began a winding maneuver through a gorge, succeeding in engaging the enemy at the left end of the front, outflanking it and storming it longitudinally with drawn sabers and hand grenades."

Does that still count as using grenades from horseback?

Haven't played in months, the Aspiring Champions seem to be new for Chaos. What is their deal, it is only 16 guys and while the stats are good, they're not that amazing compared to Chosen.

Speaking of those guys, any concensus on which type is the overall go to variant?

>>164474410
Aspiring champions have magic AoE attacks and inspire, so they're there to prop up lower tier chaos armies early in the game.

>>164474376
>as his saber was frozen in its sheath

I remember this from Gladiator. How does that even fucking work? Is the sword's sheath not waterproof or something?
>>
>>164474410
They have AoE attack and provide a leadership buff to units.

They are great units, very cheap and can help support a main line. Their AoE attack shreds low tier infantry, and they have silver shield with 120 armor so they are extremely tanky for their price.

I'm bummed at Warhammer.

I started playing a week ago and started as Empire on hard. It took me a while to get used to how important defense is because of the greenskin and beastmen shitters razing my settlements and vanishing in one turn, but I got through sure enough. When Chaos came for real, I was really well built, but I still struggled to find a good composition to countering chaos. Maybe it's because I haven't used handgunners even once. Any way, the war became a stale-mate around what used to be Kislev, with the chaos stacks coming too fast for me to push forward. Although I still wasn't entirely dedicated to it, I had sent an army to kill greenskins just to help the dwarfs a little.

So I tried dwarves, and everything went swimmingly. So swimmingly in fact, that I drove back chaos by sheer accident. I was defending my holds and massing my armies on Karak Kadrin, and after defeating the besiegers up north, I was informed that Chaos has been defeated.

Why!? Why didn't the doomstacks respawn like usual!? I didn't even get to use top-tier units in battle. Where is my grand war!?

Chaos comes twice. The early one they only use Marauders and they have 5 half stack generic lords. The norse will also try and agro their way south but they are pretty weak.

50 turns later (or 3 Imperium points) and wave 2 will spawn. This time the legendary lords will come with full stacks of elite units, and a whole bunch of norse (bjornlings) will spawn just of the coast of the badlands.

Generally speaking, if Empire provinces have been nice to each other and the wood elves don't decide they want lebensraum, the AI can often beat off the first wave pretty easily
>>
>>164474574
Okay I followed the source and it leads to an Italian page about a book on the battle.
There the story has more details.
So Corporal Lolli put his saber into a bucket of water and then it froze in his sheath.
>"Il caporale Lolli, non essendo riuscito ad estrarre la sciabola (vi aveva legato il secchiello dell'acqua e si era ghiacciata nel fodero), caricava tenendo alta una bomba a mano"
http://www.luciolami.com/libro_1970_isbuscenskij_l_ultima_carica.htm

At least that's what I understood with my limited Italian.

Since everything happened between between 3:00 AM and 9:30 AM the sword must've frozen in its sheath overnight and I guess it gets pretty damn cold in the Russian steppes at night even during summer.

Same way you can kip a pullup.
Use the motion of your body(other muscle groups) to extend beyond what the primary muscles of the movement can accomplish.
The style of movement and the task being worked means the projectile has to be released nigh-instantly.

So how does fatigue work for the Vampire Counts? They crumble after getting beat up? So can I run the zombies across the map and they don't get tired? Or will they crumble easier if I make everyone sprint all the time.
>>
>>164480204
so basically the Orkonomy is the best ever designed because it requires constant growth and has an innate redistribution of wealth centered entirely around who gets results.
>>
>>164480358
Units in TWW never seem to even get tired, you can sprint from the start to the enemy and still be fresh.
>>
>>164480059
outside of the mouth they're outside of a moist enviroment. Lack of moisture slows rot considerably. Only the inside of teeth really rot, with cavities more often formed from reactive compounds.

Notice how teeth are still in the jaws of dead bodies maybe????
They didn't rot to nothing for some reason.
>>
>>164480059
They rot but not that quickly, so yeah it seems inflation proof, until Khorne starts teleporting skulls everywhere thus giving out teeth like bernie wished
>>
>>164479809
just because tagmata could lose to spears in the initial release didn't mean they weren't broken
>>
>>164480463
They get tired really fast when running up hills and fighting. Also ranged units get tired fast when firing. Same with mounted skirmishers.
>>
>>164480358
No fatigue at all.
The crumbling mechanic is their equivalent of routing.
Past a leadership/morale threshold they begin to crumble. If the leader dies they become a lot more prone to it.

Never not sprint as VC, unless you're leaving slower elements of your army behind.

Are night gobbos a better front line unit vs wood elves because they have silver shield?

Orc boyz are the only orc unit with a shield and its only bronze, plus they are trash.

They are not as broken now, they do lose to plenty of infantry. On release chosen were absolutely broken, they are still very strong and probably should cost more but atleast they are not completely broken now but they cant beat high tier infantry like the used to.

I did some testing, and they can be countered pretty hard with just cheap slingers, they cant even beat Germanic hurlers 1v1.

As a (worthless degree holding) history fag I don't disagree with most of what you said, but you're flat-out wrong about China. The Song were indeed great and Chinggis did destroy them, but in less than 300 years the Qing dynasty restored and even surpassed Song glory. The Qing brought greater unity, infrastructure, and territory to China than any before and their culture almost reached the height of the Song and Tang. It was the Opium Wars that truly forced China into a state of stagnation, as technologies from an utterly different historical background brought the empire low and allowed Europeans to keep it down. Even then, the Qing were on the verge of modernization before the republican revolution and Japan's invasions during WW1.

Yes, but mostly because Night Goblins get Stalk too, and have great shielding, the color of the shield means nothing, hover over it to check the real block chance (all goblin units get 55% IIRC, orcs get worse percent)

Don't bother using Brimstone gyros against monsters, they don't do nearly enough damage, brimstone gyros are for artillery hunting and stuff like Demigryphs.

>>164481816
its buggy and nonsensical desu

no spears or foot archers despite being proficient cavalrymen and horse archers

weird mounted tribesmen units that have good bonus vs large + a formation that gives extra bonus vs large but no charge bonus at all

Sarmatian Cataphracts are better than elite sarmatians due to having more melee def., and if you research the tech for elite sarmatian cataphracts you can't recruit them anywhere

the 2 super elite units are the alani heavy cataphracts and sarmatian cataphract lancers, who both are classified as very heavy/have really slow movespeeds despite the horses they ride on not having armored models. Both of those units are also only recruitable from the t5 warlord building, which you can only build one of and requires the very last civic tech to build.

All monsters except Treemen (100 armor on a giant, fucking really?) have very little armor. Quarrelers make short work of them all.

Cannons and organ guns are also very good, because they're very accurate. They can shoot over your troops if they're on a slope. Grudge throwers have the advantage of being ubiquitous (earlier access and 1 turn recruitment) but their low accuracy means that they're not useful against smaller unit sizes - cannons always hit, but grudge throwers often miss entirely. They're easier to use because they throw over your troops though.

I had an idea of sending forth a suicide squad of dwarves to lure all the enemies clump around it and then nuke the area with 10 grudgethrowers, but I never got to try this out.

>>164482215
I dunno if this works on VH, but it does consistently on Hard.
Turn 1. Move army to just outside Secessionist army, recruit 3 swordsmen
Turn 1.5 Crush secessionist army that attacks
Turn 2. Finish of army and garrison, recruit regiment of renown, take settlement.
Turn 3. March towards next settlement, recruit more swordsmen.
Turn 4. Take Helmgart, defeating army and garrison. Demolish barracks in Altdorf and replace with Clay. Upgrade Town in Helmgart. Recruit more swords.
Turn 5. Take Eilhart.
Turn 6. Build Garrison in Helmgart, upgrade barracks if you have money. Declare war on Red Horn tribe if they are next to you and crush them. Recruit more swordsmen
Turn 7. If beastmen are coming, move army to Helmgart, if not, declare war on Marienburg

From this point on you dance around waiting for Marienburg to come after you (Ambush stance helps) or go off to attack someone else (then siege Marienburg. Priority is to upgrade Helmgart and Grunberg to level 3 for wall settlements, then focus on making money. Eilhart should be upgrade to 3 a little later, but it should be safe for now because its where your stack is. Make sure you get 20/20 units, it scares off a lot of factions for now. Focus on Swordsmen and crossbows.

After taking Marienberg, crush the skullmunchers (sack their town first if the Marienbergers haven't done it recently, then raze). At some point around Turn 5-7 do the quest battle.

I had Empire campaigns got to shit plenty of times (finished my first one today), but this is pretty consistent on Hard

You only need to destroy one tower and march your army to the blind spot between the rest.

The enemy never wields enough archers to hurt yours. Most of the time they don't even shoot, just scurry about on the walls.

It's cheesy, but I can't just march my soldiers against missile fire just to make it "fair".

Raze settlement on the east of starting point, then northwest, then go into Bretonnia and raze minor settlements til you get a Waaagh then hit up some large settlements
Delete the 2nd army led by Heart Render on turn 1 after giving its units to Khazrak (same for the other 2 starting lords)
Don't make a 2nd army until you have the -50% upkeep building
Avoid Wood Elves if you don't have a waaaagh

>- Is cygor that bad?
No, but the ones from savage dominion (bray shaman spell) are since they die. They also encourage passive defensive play which is the antithesis of beastmen.

>- I used my 2nd army (heart render) as a waagh against wood elves, seems to work okay

The main problem is income, since the good beastmen units are extremely expensive while having almost no income from buildings, while raiding is also dangerous for them. Having the 2nd army you start with is a lot of money and you'll be running a deficit for most of the game.

>- Favor are difficult, sure, but I think it is workable if you don't keep razing, no? Seems to be going on okay for me with raiding every now and then.

Beastmen can only raze towns, but I shoulda stated about the money or growth choice. On the first few turns, until you can get your main camp building to level 3, growth is superior since you won't be overspending money in those first 10 turns. Once you start getting growth passives like the Blood Moon event thing and from a lord follower thing called the Doe (+3 growth, or something per turn), that's when you should go for money from razing. This allows you to get the minotaur building (or whatever you want). I prefer minos in the first army since they just kill counter everything in the early game.

>- Minotaurs with GW? The other minotaurs are not worth it?

They take a long time to get (T5 building) so the others suffice until then. The T3 minos (dual wield) suck because they die very easily due to not having enough killing power when swamped by enemies. Shielded minos (T4) are great because they survive longer than Dual Wielders and can tank arrow fire. They are good for walled town battles, too. GW Minos are the best because they have huge anti large, big splash damage, huge base damage amongst other things that just make them that much more powerful than other versions.

>Is cygor that bad?
No, Cygors are great (you can rout an eternal guard unity in one good shot), but their summon spell is a waste of winds of magic since it crumbles horribly fast, in fact, stay away from the Lore of the Wild, strong competitor with the Lore of Metal for worst magic
>I used my 2nd army (heart render) as a waagh against wood elves, seems to work okay
It doesn't really matter, if you want to be conservative and get a single doomstack early, the second horde is a burden, but I never disbanded it either, it's good as a safety net and let's you replensih with an army while the other squats around (or for rusemaster tactics where your enemies will chase the exposed horde, leaving settlements vulnerable)
>Favor are difficult, sure, but I think it is workable if you don't keep razing, no? Seems to be going on okay for me with raiding every now and then.
Different tactics, you should get enough dosh from battles alone to keep your hordes, but may need the razing boost for the tech or the expensive buildings, whatever floats your boat
>Minotaurs with GW? The other minotaurs are not worth it?
All of them are amazing, but Great Weapon variant is best since it's especially strong against large units, which Beastmen struggle against
>>

>>164491669

Mousillon maybe, but I don't think so with Middenhem. They should continue emphasizing the Empire and its need to confederate. The human nations alone really can't stand and would fall by themselves.

A playable Middenheim wouldn't become a vassal of the Empire and thus would detract from that. Mousillon could be an interesting addition and it would make the western region more hotly contested in an MP campaign with Wood Elves and Bretonnia played by other competent players.
