Alright, so next campaign I have a new plan. I'm going to walk out of Silver Road with a 20 stack of basic units and start shitting on the greenskins, hoping that Grimgor doesn't bring his fucking retarded Black Orcs. Going to take Death Pass first, get that sweet sweet gold mine money, then keep shitting on Greenskins while I build up walls and military buildings in Silver Road. Also, building a second army asap and then holding off on a third so I have money to build with.
>>
>>164567816

Depends

The morale debuffs synergize pretty damn well with Beastmemes since a lot of the time you can rush a line and cause mass routs near instantly.

But taken purely on it's own merits Beasts is a better lore, Flock of Doom is one of the best damage spells in the game.
>>
>>164567493

If you get a rebellion spawn a lord and hold out, buy a garrison as first building every time.

Even the basic Dwarf garrison is strong enough to beat of 10 or so weak units.
>>
>>164567816
mp or campaign? Beasts has the better passive in wild heart, plus as you said can summon maticores. Flock of doom is very good at dps for enemy blobs, and Pann's impenetrable pelt is actually a very good spell for giving a temporary ward save to either a hero, or your main line (with the oc version). Death has good aoe debuffs, but its damage potential has been nerfed into oblivion since release

If you get your Bray shaman to a high enough level and have the points, putting him on a chariot can be a good idea, as it allows him to bully enemy infantry especially if you are playing against the dwarfs who have no cav.

What the fuck.

Just played against VC for the first time as emp and got a heroic victory but it was dumb as shit.

CA hasn't seemed to programme the AI to actually function on some of the more retarded maps they created?

Vamps were attacking me with 2 stacks, the first one sent all their fast units in with absolutely 0 support, so they all died alone.

The rest of the stack just seemingly ran around in circles. I think it was trying to respond to me moving my formation but it didn't take into account that I was shooting the fuck out of it with xbows.

Then the AI just left sent the rest of the army to engage me but left Himmler with 2 units of Outriders chasing him??? Needless to say he died pretty fucking fast.

After that they also sent Vlad in... on his own, completely separate from the rest of the second stack he was with.

I really don't understand. Can the AI not play VC?

I'm hoping it was just the map, because it had a huge hill in the middle so no side could see each other.

That was fucking disappointing though, that was meant to be an epic battle but it was just like the AI surrendered.

Has anyone else had something similar?

Warhammer infuriates me so much

> Stupid chaos, varg and skaeling calling me "asinine mortal" and "your demise is certain" 200 hundred times a day makes me ultra furious
> Retarded chaos, varg shitskins (shitsking in the north? wtf), and sgaylings running around like faggots
> Battle is stupid marauders and faggy dogs in the flanks waiting to fuck my immobile empire formation if my steam tanks are not able to take them out on time they meet my line
> Warhammer lore is so freaking stupid. I bought the game expecting a warhammer 40k but this game is really all about Rome 1 barbarian invasion where stupid nomad people fucks up battles and campaign map where you chase like a faggy asshole 200 turns while they raze and pillage your cities
> There's more: How come varg and sgayling are all jocks with huge thighs and muscles while the normal humans are skinny and weak? Are the women in the north fat spartans that gave birth to huge ass babies? Or they made a pact with chaos so they could be roided up without going to the gym?


I'm winning with the empire while raizing all of these asshole nomad shitskin fags and going to desinstall this piece of shit game full of chasing and retarded corruption everywhere making you camp every ONE turn so you are dont lose your whole stack.

Going to buy shogun 2 and be happy with a decent game.

>>164570703
I thought the difficulty is for the campaign AI, but once you set it to very hard, it will be tied to the battle AI, as well.

If you don't change the battle difficulty again after you started your campaign (you can only do that anyway), then I'd like to know how this happens...

I never really play vanilla as I always have some kind of AI mods (whether it will be recruitment or campaign/battle AI overhaul), so things always seem to be quite tense.

I was told on here that very hard setting with battle difficulty set to normal was the best setting because all that increasing the battle difficulty does is give the AI free stat boosts, which is pretty artificial.

What campaign/ Battle AI overhaul do you use though? Is it better than vanilla in every way?

I sent my jav cav to go harass his mostly cav army, and initially had my forces facing his small army, but then the reinforcements started coming in from behind me so I re-arranged my forces to face the much larger reinforcing group. By the time his first army's cav reached my initial position I used my noble alani cav to beat them in melee, while my grey hairs focus fired on his crossbow cav. My jav cav also caught and killed some of his medium bow cav and killed his general via skirmish. The enemy's reinforcing cav was caught by my other alani nobles that I hadn't committed, and even though they were outnumbered, I was able to support with my lancers and infantry. Eventually his infantry got into the engagement, but it was all shit tier spears so my inf mopped them up while my large onager lobbed explosive shots into their ranged cav which was blobbed up. Eventually they took enough losses to start routing and that was that. The battle was on one of the maps that is half naval/half land as one of their armies was embarked in the city port nearby, but most of those units were cav and just came in with the other reinforcements

I do the same (VH/N), this is the anon whose post you replied.

I just bought Attila, I've only really played Shogun 2 before this, what have I gotten myself into? I decided to go with Danes to start my campaign. Seems like there is a ton of added features and a pretty big difference in UI and management to get used to.

Never finished a damn Orc campaign because it gets to the point where it's just the biggest fucking pain in the ass.

>>164576061
It took me maybe like a week to completely adjust to Attila but it was a lot of fun once I did. I prefer a lot of the changes to how they were in older titles.

Just have some boyz camp out in literally anyone else's territory. Or your own and get free kills on rebels. Or just smack the gitz around till dey stop bein all rowdy-like and get to marchin'.

Fightyness really isn't that big of a downside when it goes wrong, just a few turns of getting the mob back in line which is on of the few things that slows you down anyway.

I haven't fought any Elvs yet, but those unit stats scare me, hopefully my middle army can get an ambush at 75% with my other armies reinforcing which should hopefully let me auto resolve them away. I don't think reinforcing armies are ever actually much help in an ambush when you take control since they main battle is over by the time they arrive

Am I fucked or are they more of a walkover than I thought?

>>164578243
One thing I do not understand is why AI doesn't follow faction mechanics. Any greenskin faction will have fightiness problems as well as WAAGHs. Vampires usually don't bother raising dead in most of my experiences aside from a hilarious shafting involving multiple monsters in empire campaigns. Dwarfs are impossible to placate aside from dumping gold as a non-GS race. These are all fine and well.

But then these bastards come along and promptly ignore that whole amber thing only used to make the player not be an isolationist (which as a WElf campaign should be) and as a handicap.

Good DLC but I don't get that mechanic.
>>
>>164578243

You won't have it easy.

The Treemen and Dragons will especially be a fucking pain since the Vamps have very few good tools for dealing with them.

You can probably do it though.

The units isn't the only problem. You also get a shitton of money which makes the game easy as fuck from the start. You didn't need to sack stuff as hordes in Radious Attila because of all the money you got from just camping.

A casual mod basically.

How can people complain about Wood Elves when the fucking dwarves are twice as much of a pain in the ass. Literally no bad units, they completely slaughter the greenskins in every campaign ive done and end up taking over the entire eastern/southern side of the map; they shit out multiple doomstacks of overpowered units that wont fucking die.

>>164581906
How do you do a NorseDorf campaign justice? The fluff is a tale of defacto isolationism due to being cut off from the rest of the civilized world to eek out mere survival against demons, vikings, and demonically-augmented vikings.

If the wood elfs taught anything is that CA cannot pull off an isolationist faction and at this point there isn't much to work off of in Norsca.

Could be a cool challenge campaign to hold out against the initial chaos onslaught of the warp gates entering the world while the literal gods of the dwarfs try to figure shit out but in GC I just don't see it yet.

depends, orcs greenskins chaos and especially vampire counts I love going expendable because it is really fun to just have massive massive casualties, but with humans/dwarves/elves I feel bad about the deaths and try to always have minimal allied casualties.

Isolationists don't build shit everywhere and create some of the biggest geographic empires on the map, albeit outposts.

Hordes are the only other playstyle that is at least competent in being "Not an territory empire" faction

Well at least for High Elfs its a little more palatable since they do colonize, and did colonize Bretonnia well before they existed.

Perhaps, but the map has to get bigger. Norsca in particular has smaller regions. I don't mind the choke points but the whole province of Kraka Drak doesn't have much turf to defend.

Also the game needs to upgrade its siege gameplay and take advantage of Dorf architecture with multiple levels of defense, defense artillery set points, and street/keep defense play.

Kraka Drak could be a great challenge later in the series with the aforementioned improvements, and the addition of demon hordes considering Norsca.

But mosly the siege stuff, fortresses in Warhammer are so massive and ridiculous it needs to be fleshed out. Who wasn't hype as shit when the Thorgrim trailer had the opening canon fire and the bridge pass

I've just started playing Rome 2 and I don't have a ton of experience with total war games. So far I really like it but I've noticed there's not a lot of battles in the open. Most battles happen when defending or attacking a city, which is a shame I think.

Getting open field battles are kinda rare but enticing the AI to come out and make them happen can make capturing those cities much easier

Try baiting them out with weaker armies and ambushing their armies.

The AI also seriously underestimates how strong a human fortified army is, so they'll often come out and attack you when you can defend the fort

My problem with sieges no matter which TW title is that they don't feel grand and epic except for a very few occasions like besieging Rome in Attila.
Every other siege plays 100% exactly the same, I was hoping for Warhammer to change that but it's just a different kind of every time the same...
I just want cool sieges ;_;

I built a wall round Grunburg and VC have tried to siege it like 4 times now with a full stack but because the AI can't handle the Grunsburg map I can just beat them with the Garrison alone pretty much.

I was saying that the AI can't do ambushes properly, and providing proof. If they had ambushed with the larger of the two stacks, it might have been a bigger clusterfuck, but they jumped a 19 stack with 2 spearmen, and then went on to clump up before running across the map.

VC are basically just the remnants of the true empire of undeath under Nagash since the vampires used to be is lieutenants, if Kemmler were weaker or didn't have Krell he'd just be a vampire thrall. Makes sense he'd work for VC, Neferata and Arkhan however are going to be difficult to reconcile since both use Nehekharan units.

>Doesn't suffer traditional vampiric corruption attrition.

>Attrition and resupply is based mostly on how powerful the winds of magic in a province are. Only the lowest levels will cause attrition, while anywhere from normal and up with have increasingly higher replenishment rates.

>>164592947

Except no living VC of Sylvania ever served under Nagash, except Vlad. They don't really have any more claim to being his successors than any other Necromancer, since Necromancy itself was basically Nagash's creation (Limited forms of it existed previously, but it was Nagash who mixed Dark Magic with Nehekharan Burial Rituals to create it).

In fact, Nagash looks down on 99% of Vampires, since he sees their need for other life to sustain them as a crippling weakness. Vlad and Abhorash are pretty much the only exceptions to this.

Yeah, and he actually had the strength of will to outright defy Nagash right to his face after Nagash bled Manny to bring him back. Nagash had to actually make a deal with him to get him to serve.

Abhorash is even stronger, considering he completely ignored Nagash's call and Nagash didn't melt his brain for it. Being some kind of Dragon-Vampire helped with that, I guess.

Hey /twg/

I've never touched a TW game in my life. A fact that I want to change. However, I am unsure which one to play. I keep hearing different things. People generally seem to agree that Attila is a solid game, however a mate who is a huge TW nerd told me that by all means I have to get ME2 TW because its the best by far.

CentigorGW/Doggo combo is a cav killing force that is also good at killing characters.

Flanking doggos can shred skirmishers and speedy melee is the name of the game Beasties win, pressure the flanks and just hold shit down in the middle.

ME2 is a great TW, but making it first now might be a shitty decision because it's lacking the modern kinda polish that even the newer ones have even when they're shitty.

ME2 lacks
>Organising unit cards so similar cards are next to each other
>Group that are still in a free formation
>Numbers and explanations for how much people like you and why
>Only one unit being trained or healed at a time in a city (You might only retrain 3 soldiers but that takes the same slot as training a new 120 man unit or a new spy etc)
>Naval battles can only be autoresolved (Naval in Empire is pretty great desu)
>No real indication of the range of your ranged units
>If you care about graphics they are kinda shitty
>Can't see units in trees because the unit cards aren't big enough (Rome 2 also suffers this)
>Ultra buggy unit placement inside castle walls

It's still a quality game and has some sweet features which the newer games should really have, but as a first I reckon Shogun 2 is the best
>>
What are the best Chaos Units?

They honestly seem kind of shit against human players, being massively overpriced for what they do. There's no real 'cheap line' unit, since Marouters will leg it in about ten seconds and the lack of proper missile units hurts them way more than VC, since they can't just drop a dozen units of zombies out of nowhere to tie down the enemy.

They also lack anti-large cav.

Hellcannons seem to be the only unit that pays back their cost as a rule.

I think it's hinted that Vlad basically understands how Nagash achieves immortality (since he worked out how the ring works) and that could be a potential weakness of Nagash. Rather than risk others resurrecting Vlad Nagash decided to do it and get Vlad fully on side.

As for Abhorash, it seems that all of the martial ilk of vampires can resist Nagash completely since Harkon and he blood dragons join Khorne.

Each of them is basically a 'good' counterpart to the Aspiring Champs, being mini-heroes unto themselves. And by 'good', I mean instead of ripping the god's favour from their enemies beating hearts, they drank an elf's piss.

chaos/blood/grail knights should all be the same imo, with slight stat differences to make them unique

>Blood Knights
Fast and better at killing enemy cav, like they are currently in TWWH
>Chaos Knights
Slower, tankier motherfuckers with fuckhueg armor and phat impact damage
>Grail Knights
Some sort of ward save/magic resist + magic attacks from the she-elf witch they worship. Bonus vs cav (not as much as bknights tho) so that brettonia can actually win cav engagements

>"Muh tabletop stats"

Listen you fucking faggot, we've been through this.

Bretonnia is the cavalry faction so they NEED to have the best cavalry, if the Brets get worse cavalry than the Empire and Vamps and Chaos when the Empire also have good artillery and good skirmishers and good infantry and the Vamps have powerful magic and monsters and Chaos has the best infantry in the game then there's no point to Bretonnia even existing.

This isn't the fucking tabletop game and it shouldn't be balanced like it.

Whether you steamroll as Empire depends ENTIRELY on whether or not the Elves decide to declare war on you.

And thats why they axed it.

Bretonnia is an "against the odds" faction. You don't do anything the best and few things well. But the air force and cav game put on the back of meat shield peasants who will die en masse make a decent combo.

Bretonnia in its current state does exactly that and somewhat decently.

Thanks for the advice, I'm still adjusting to TW:W since it's my first proper playthrough and didn't realise how scarce ranged units are for some factions

I'm hoping to vanguard deploy behind these dudes with the Hexwraiths and take out the cannons once they've been left alone a bit, don't know how much of a threat they are but it should help slow/disorganise their advance. Gunna use the forest for anti large since they all seem to be quite large
Might use the Fell Bats to suicide in and just slow some unit down long enough for me to deal with whoever arrives at my dudes first

The advantage the grail knights had over other elite cavalry was that you could take more of them.

I don't think a grail knight should be better than a chosen knight or a blood dragon. but they should definitely be just a half step behind. They should be better than any empire cav.

Demigryphs aren't so much knights as they are a monster unit. So i don't count them as a specific cav force. but i think pegasus knights are far superior to demigryphs, if not in a direct match up at least in their utility.

I also do think that bretonnian cavalry should be a bit faster than they are now. They were never slowed down by armor in the table top and they don't have that much of a speed bonus over comparable enemy cavalry units.

This is my first Total War game but Armour Piercing is so confusing, at least how it's explained in-game.

If you think you might get overwhelmed then start with Shogun 2. Otherwise go with whatever period takes your fancy. Atilla is great, easily my fav modern addition, but it can be difficult. Remember you can lower the difficultly at any point and desu you should be able to streamroll everything on easy.

I still enjoy Empire and would recommend you try it at some point if only for its scale, otherwise get Napoleon or FoTS if you are interested in gunpowder.

If you don't mind dated games then definately try the earlier games. There a plenty of fantastic mods for almost all the games so be sure to check them out if you enjoy vanilla.

I'm completely unable to make any kind of diplomatic arrangement with UK, Spain and France in Imperial Splendour

The only thing that works is a trade agreement. Anything else, it just outputs 'Missing String' and refuses any and every offer.

Also, is there a way to increase the men per unit count in IS?

I started playing when I was 12 or 13 when Medieval 1 was new. I sucked ass and managed my empires poorly. I went back when I was 15 and raped everything to completion, same with Shogun 1 and Rome 1. I also finished my campaigns in M2 and Empire when those came out. Sounds like you guys are just lazy.

I adore the looks of cultists, and it's real easy to edit a few stats yourself, so I think that's a low hurdle. Some units are just retarded though, like Nurgle gunners, or fallen knights, or thralls.

>>164615214
Yes the next release will probably be four factions and the map will be the new world.
Then there will probably be DLC for that.

Originally they said everything would be standalone until the very end when we would finally get a completed Grand Campaign. But They've probably changed gears and will make sure the GC is slapped together for those who own both games.

There was a breakdown on Leddit.

Look at armor as if it's a percentage. Any time you get hit, you take all of the AP damage, but the normal damage is reduced by a random percentage between half and all of your armor. 1 point of normal damage will always apply, however.

So, units with 20 armor block on average 15% of normal damage. Units with 100 armor block on average 75% of normal damage. Units with 200 armor will always only take 1 normal damage.

>having a global food shortage will affect all provinces
this makes sense because your fertile provinces would be exporting all of their food to the ones in need of food
what doesnt make sense is the -25% income for importing food unless it buffs the income from the province that was exporting food
less fertile provinces have resources that fertile provinces lack too, so they would export to the farmlands and it should mostly balance out
there's no reason for it and it just makes it impossible to specialize your provinces

there is one that pretty much guarantees giant factions to fight at the end by having certain factions always win battles if you aren't looking so they beat all the tiny factions and you end up with some decently hard to beat empires instead of a bunch of one province nonames. I don't know if that is exactly what you are looking for, but it 100 percent made the game more enjoyable for me.

Those are masks. They don't have undead units. They probably could if they tried hard enough seeing how Nagash came up with Necromancy after torturing dark elves for information on magic.

generic elite elf soldiers, a bit less defensive and more great-weapony than the high elves. Hydras and cold ones as monsters and shit.
That's it.

Maybe if you rush them but most likely the terror caused by the dryads and all those arrows will just break your army.

Rangers and trees should overcome their melee units quite handily. The problem will be tying up those glade guard while you get into melee, probably just charging in with your hawks and cav might be necessary.

Bretonnia is weird. The ruling class of knights abhor all forms of ranged combat as dishonorable and cowardly. At the same time the peasants use plenty of ranged weapons, but they're kept underdeveloped and downtrodden on purpose because why not.

>>164651547
the tech level is fairly standard in the old world.
The Empire is the most advanced nation, but the Border Princes, Tilea, Estalia and the rest are all basically at the same level (why the have the Empire roster in game). Bretonnia is an exception, held back by the Grail Cult.

The Dwarfs are just super traditionalist, and it takes forever for new designs to become a thing and widespread. A Dwarf would rather spend years perfectly and improving an existing design than build something new

The Norse and Chaos obviously lack the industrial base to match the rest of the world, but get stuff from Chaos Dwarfs
>>
>>164651547
It's pretty weird, basically the Dwarfs are the most advanced due to age (being one of the oldest races) and not being able to rely on magic (unlike the lazy Elfs.) So they developed their technology but are so slow at approving any new designs unless it's gone through hundreds of years of testing and refinement to make it the best it can be.

Anyway, the Dwarfs ended up teaching men how to do this shit and they've been far less slow in experimenting and often blowing themselves up while trying. Which is why the Empire is more advanced but the Dwarfs still have the best shit.

Bretonnia is a mix of "Mah code of honor!" and peasants so heavily taxed they can barely afford a bow for the family to use let alone a firearm (Which are probably banned or something anyway.)

The big joke of this though is that their fleets are mostly owned by merchants wealthy from selling Bretonnian goods. So they're rolling around the seas in Galleons decked to the brim in cannons.

TLDR; There are reasons but it's mostly just so they can have several stereotypes/tech levels active at the same time.

Bretonnia does well enough with its horde of knights. It's basically feudal france, but in the plains of hungary which gives them a LOT of horses. They also have super human knights so the commoners are totally reliant on protections by the upper class.
>>
>>164652870
Wood Elves its tree hippy shit.

High Elves and Dark Elves its a combination of being exceptional magical, and being so proficient that they don't feel the need for the more advanced tech (although Dark Elves have things like repeating crossbows/ballista). These tend to cover the bases that other factions need to artillery, gunpowder and advanced war machines to cover
>>
>>164652870
Pretty much they started out with advanced abilities with magic and because of that they could use it to pull off some bullshit other races can't so didn't need to advance as much.

The best example of this is the High Elf's as they're like the base faction that started out. Then due to a lot of drama they ended up splinting into two other factions.

The Dark Elf's (Edgy masters who want slavery and the purge to be legal.)

And the Wood Elf's (They just wanted to find a escape from war and found it in a giant murder Forrest.)

It's much more in depth than how I'm putting it but I'm just throw out the basics.

I nuked the entire army of the romans by exploiting their stupidity and offering them a battle on the sea, only to divide and conquer their land units they used against my military ships. Also, Attila died of old age, so after the fall of Rome I will be the only cheating Emperor of Europe

Are Black Orcs or Big Un's the biggest?

BIG BLACK ORCS

They've been bred by Chaos Dwarfs to be bigger, stronger, more intelligent and even more brutal. How they thought to control them I don't know since they can't even control normal Orcs properly

>>164653376
Black Orcs, although really they are more Dark Green Orcs

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.

Units reform pretty readily. It's worth it to keep some sort of light cav or other mobile unit to make sure to break all routing units.

You would in New Mexico. Gotta remember a lot of south western US was Mexican before they annexed it. Though there's a lot of immigrants there are still decedent's of the Spanish/Mexicans there that speak the language.

thank god somebody numbered these, i couldn't figure out the order

Should I get Rome II? People told me to stay clear because it was shit so I skipped it and went straight to Attila which I really enjoyed.
But I really like the time period, is the game good now?
>>
>>164655360
Base game is trash, only worth playing with Divide et Impera IMO.

Campaign with Massilia is the most fun i've had since my very first Third Age total war campaign
