I actually managed to expand with confederacies and pushed the green tide back, but now Estalia, Tilea and the Dwarves are gone. All of the dwarves. All of them. I fear that my war was just a sideshow, and now the tide has nowhere else to crash into. The VC have begged a military alliance with me for quite spme time now. They wont hold for long. I actually wish that chaos could invade and help me out...a

>>165004194
At most, 2-4 units. Really depends who you're going up against though. Like against Dwarfs mortars and rockets are useless and you'd be better with hell blasters or cannons.

Mortars are also really good for sieges because they attack with a high arc.

But for overall use I'd say just do a 1-1 on rockets and canons to keep them even.

Expand navy and/or attack someone from the sea. Then you wait for one of your allies to inevitably flip allegiance and declare war on you.

Vampire Counts is the most fun campaign. You cannot refute this.

Does anyone have any good reasons to hate the radious mod for warhammer?
I've been playing it and while the number of units is retarded at this point the balance changes seem fairly reasonable.
Less upkeep so more stacks is fun, less routing makes battles actually take some time instead of morale shock invalidating most AI armies.
The only issue I'm having really is the compatibility problems for small tweaks I'd like to try.

So any suggestions for alternatives?

>>165006062
Balthas are extremely strong offensively but a little weaker on the defensive, the Jew stuff on the other hand is ridiculously tanky and will blend any and all infantry from the front, coupled with their ridiculous heavy camel cav it gives them brutal fighting power. The trick is to realize their spears are garbage and that your anti cav units are actually camels while your axes take on their infantry with ease. With a leveled general and armor upgrades the Jewish exclusive infantry can legit go 3vs1 with two coming in from the flanks and win.

>>165008148
It's actually pretty decent. Much better than the beastmen minicampaign.

Do those axemen you start with become more useful against armoured units because if so I'll bring a ton against the Romans.

They were pretty underwhelming for their cost against Aksum but they also have no fucking armour at all so I guess the cost of the AP was wasted on them.

I really don't want to have another game of spamming armoured camels because it's cheesy as fuck

So I wanted to give the Slavs a shot in Attila, but then I saw that they have no melee cav whatsoever.

What's the point of those factions?

>>165012968
trialing poison for Warhammer, filling in the map, making money for CA.

>>165012968
They have some pretty crazy campaign map bonuses (no cost to colonisation saves you a fortune and I love the Venedian farm one). They have pretty good infantry as well, those mid-tier axe units are great once they start getting a bit of armour on them. Poison arrows are fun to play around with but be wary of friendly fire. You're asking for trouble if you bring a whole line of poison archers behind your infantry.

>>165012881
Check. The military tech tree. There's a tech relatively early on that upgrades them into armored units. They should be your main battleline infantry for at least until mid to lategame.

Well its up to you then to resist the hot camel dick... they do have the tools to succeed and be fun without camel-fu. In fact you can build them succesfully in more than one way. I prefer legions of axemen and archers but cav is great too

What are your thoughts on a China Total War? A lot of people say it would be boring but I don't know why. You would have just as much a game as shogun 2. You could have Mongols, Viet's, Thai's and south east asians.

I swear there are some people who only want total war set in Europe and I don't know why.

>>165014584
/twg/ isn't a person
His mods are fine
He himself and his mods' presentation are abysmal.

>>165014638
China total war would need to be set in a specific time period of fragmentation, of which there are many

Shogun total war worked well because it took place during the sengoku era and the spinoff campaigns during times like the meiji restoration era

A China Total War would be like having a Europe Total War, you need something specific like Romance of the Three Kingdoms Total War

>>165014638
Not him, but I want warlord China/Asia. That might be too big a scope I suppose.

>>165014638

I don't think it's quite as bad as the balance of power makes it out to be. They don't really have any units that can fight in melee. But they ARE in the fort.
Use the naval artillery on a gatehouse and send the bulk of your guys through there to make the most out of the charge bonus maybe?

>>165016282
I haven't done a traditionalist run, but I do make heavy use of melee in the early game because the AI can't handle it.
My understanding is basically that you've got to use the terrain effectively. Modern armies use guns, (most) guns can't shoot over hills. They're also pretty stationary. Manuever around them, flank, and get those charges off. As long as you can get most enemy units locked in melee you'll be fine.
Artillery makes things substantially more dangerous, of course.

Asian settings just aren't relatable to me. I hardly know anything about any of their histories.
Being a colonial and gun lover, European games tend to be far more interesting to me.

I usually play Dwarfs, so I can't confirm this, but I've heard mounted lords can miss charges, and they take more damage from charges because they aren't knocked around. I've also heard neither of those are an issue with flying mounts, though.

Yeah, it's true. A mounted lord can get practically instagibbed with charges from multiple heroes, a foot lord will eat a charge and get knocked around, and won't take any more damage until it gets up.

Well that's funny. I thought all the Dwarves were annihilated, but it appears that Kraka Drak is still alive. The Dwarves still have hope.

Also, the green conquest has no cohesion. Although I lost Wissenland, the hostile armies roam back and forth, and I managed to reinforce Nuln with two armies. Gold ranked levies from Middenland pour in to save the Empire, and the world.

Meanwhile the Bretonnian lands are getting raped by two brayherds and a weak goblin boss. I only just realized that there are no wood elves at all - one of the mods is pre-WE, so there's only an impassable forest in their place.

>>165025045
Not the first time with not be the last. Though something about making a meme out of an intense political situation is comforting. Like how ISIS is dead serious on creating a global caliphate and we just sit back and Photoshop them into a meme and laugh.

Continuation of SS England.

Conquered Bordeaux and now the Angevin Empire is complete.

My most vulnerable borders are all now ringed with Fortress level castles so I'm sitting tight and going to turtle for a bit to bolster my economy. The next big push will be when longbows are developed.

Meanwhile, a newly come of age (14!) relative sets off on crusade to remove kebab from Jerusalem.

The Crusader States were smashing kebab at first but one too many Jihads fucked them up so we're going to help.

My last successful crusade captured Granada which I gifted to the Pope so he'd shut the fuck up about me attacking Scotland.

3 crusades prior to that were all successful, but kebab retook the town on the next turn from various European powers.

Where should my next move be?

When I get longbows I'm thinking of capturing France properly; they still have Paris and are expanding into the HRE.

I've never played SS but is cav really that strong in it?
I never tend to use more than 4 or at most 6 units of cav in any army.

>>165026854
Try 90

>>165027184

With RR you can only recruit heavy cav once every 10 turns or so until the pool fills up again so I usually just recruit Norman knights whenever they're available.

The hobilars are light cav for chasing down enemies or flanking etc.

They're strong early game when you're mostly fighting peasant spearmen.

When the more professional infantry appears later, cav suddenly gets a lot weaker.

Why do I love Durthu so much?
It's pretty simple when I think about it.
Durthu isn't just the best genocidal maniac in the Warhammer world, he might just be the greatest mass murderer of all time.
Just imaging him rampaging through Bretonnia, the wind in his foliage, his mighty roots below him.
As he massacres through the Grey Mountains, the Dwarfs wet themselves in panic.
They know how he smells, the essence of his smell is sold in Black Craig under the the name of "Dwarf-away"
The very nature of Durthu is genocide.
Could he be playing a bloodier game than even his creator realizes?
The answer is yes, he has transcended such boundaries as morals and ethics, and has free will to kill whatever he sees fit.
However, Durthu is filled with such hatred, such endless madness that he does not even use these powers.
Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Durthu is not one that is easily healed.
Durthu is such a force of nature in his realm that nothing can truly touch him, the only thing keeping him bound to the page at all is his will to kill within the preordained boundaries of his world.
Durthu is not only beyond the comprehension of us, he exists within a plane of true killing and madness.
Observe his vengeful smile, his blood-drenched branches, his burning harted, and most importantly, his eyes.
His eyes, like pools of topaz, provide the only glimpse into the true madness of Durthu. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone dead in the attempt.
Durthu is not just a character, a formless collection of words and images, he is himself is the binding that makes the Warhammer world grimdark.
Without Durthu, the entire Warhammer world, the entire Games Workshop as we know it would still be alive.
Dwarfs would stop dying without Durthu, Bretonnia would become a land of wealth and freedom, and trees would burn without his mad gaze.
These are just of a few of the reasons why I like Durthu so much.

>>165031457

Because he wants to put all the mortal races in the oven.

Not the post you're replying to, but mentioning armor implies flanking isn't required. Can you actually frontally assault pikes successfully(combat resolved in your favor quickly, with minimal losses) with a heavy enough infantry unit?

>>165038678

Pike are pretty awful overall compared to Rome 2 in Attila, so yeah

>>165038750
Cool. I just ask because I've never actually tried the frontal assault.

How do I stop my faction leaders getting the harsh/tyrant traits in Attila?

IIRC the only really good Pike units in Attila are the Elite Ostrogothic ones and the tier 2 Tanukhid pikes, everything else is okayish

Spears are overall better

>>165038937

Dont use the "take on warriors" and the "kill all captives" option too much. Theres a small chance you get those traits by doing so

On the flip side using the "release captives" options gives your leader good traits

I must just be seriously bad at video games because I don't get it. I've beaten every other race on Very Hard but with Wood Elves I haven't gotten past the early game yet.

Your public order is just fucked and trying to deal with Carcasonne early is hard as balls because of how bad Wood Elves are at siegeing early.

>>165040368
public order isn't a big deal because you can put down rebellions all day and actually make a bunch of money doing it, and the big thing to make it easy is to head east with an agent and start fucking with minor orc factions or even the main greenskins faction to get the dwarves to be nice and give you all the amber you'll ever need. expanding isn't a great option because you don't make any money from settlements, just amber, so if you can't keep it which you usually can't, you should just play defensive and sack the occasional undefended settlement with worldroots for easy money. if you can afford a defensive and invading army, going to war in norsca can be a great way to get everybody to love you.

Yeah, I'd never expect Wood Elves to be this hampered by public order, especially in the early game. You start with Branchwrath who has the rally populace ability, I had him deployed in my main province basically for the first 50 turns before public order stabilised.
As for the first few turns, I microed the dwarf's main army into favourable engagement with ambush/underway, conquering his towns and razing his capital gave me the funds to fuel my campaign southwards. I was playing as tree hitler, though, it might be different for the goat king

everytime there is one casualty, be it from autoresolve, a death on a charge of a single unit leftover that for some reason I don't autoresolve, attrition, agent actions, what have you, I always imagine that the person that died was "that guy" that everybody else hated and will forever be a joke how that idiot Joe was the only one that died at the battle. Either that or he was the one everybody hated and they killed him and reported it as attrition or something.

Is there anything I can do about Med2's framerate completely shitting itself during wall damage/crumbling animations? The game runs buttery-smooth at completely maxed settings in damn near every situation except for that. I can fight ridiculously huge battles between infantry/cav and it's all good, but heaven forbid I attack city walls with cannons; it drops to single-digits. Verified game cache, made sure my drivers were updated, all that jazz. Nothing seems to help.

Fish swim, birds fly, bestigors burn and rape

>>165045783
They're BESTigors after all!

So, with the households/general skills.
There are certain skills/households that say Commanded Force and Commanders Unit.
Am I correct in assuming that Commanded force things affect the army, and Commanders Unit affect just the general and the bodyguard?
Cause of that's the case it seems pretty useless to get commanders unit shit.

>>165045826

that's how it works, yeah. I'm not fond of CU stuff since the general isn't always worth sending in case it dies to some random prick.

This is going to be one of the harder ones

>>165045503

Badly worded.

They needed a buff, they didn't need the buff they got.

CA themselves have literally said that some dev just accidentally punched in the wrong number and buffed their AP damage by 7 more than what was intended.

Glade Guard should have gotten the range buff but not the damage buff.

They'll never see it coming though

How afraid should I be of the luminark?

>>165046003

Not too afraid but you should definitely deal with it, you don't want it getting off more than a few shots.

>>165046003
not too much, its only good for hitting one target so keep your single units out of its range. it WILL kill anything it hits, however.

Quick status update: Everybody is dying

>>165045932
Oh yeah, they were accidentally overbuffed!

I think Glade Guard should have the damage buff but not the range buff, on the other side it's Total War with Warhammer and not vice versa, so transporting the TT values 100% isn't really needed.
I still think that Wood Elves should be able to shoot through trees and have high damage but range of 160 was enough.

I'm really looking forward to how CA will balance the Wood Elves honestly, they'll probably fuck it up

>>165043486

>pronouncing the H

>>165046643

desu I think the units themselves only need to be toned down slightly.

The real problem is that the Wood Elf campaign AI is a fucking ravenous beast with no restrictions placed on it.

You have only yourself to blame.

The odds weren't that bad; the AI got kinda screwed by only being able to field 40 units at a time, which meant that Boris' army, which was 7 artillery units and a halberdier, only got to enter when there was no one left to defend them

WELL OBVIOUSLY YOU ATTACK FIRST

>>165046842
they should just be defensive and go REEEE an attack whenever someone trespasses and just burn shit down before fucking off again

Why is the setting in Attila so shit?
The game itself is great and I always come back because of it, but the world is literally:
3 massive empires and 132312131 barbarian kingdoms. Boring as shit.

>>165040368
Take out the dwarfs to the right and then just turtle, take out the 4 other elves.

Get all the buffs to ai relations, branchwraith in each province and just next turn donating to big nations and with because you get 100 Amber from alliances.

I managed to win mine before chaos invasion by accident, I was just making friends with Dwarf and empire as I was taking the southern kingdoms all of a sudden I had enough Amber to finish the game.

Did they announce Bretonnia already.

>>165047750
Yes

>>165047542
oh god I know

ancient empires when

>>165047750
brettonia was announced and confirmed playable in the future at launch

Do bows and bow cavalry in Attila feel underwhelming for anyone else? I feel like they're only really useful for counter-skirmishing (which you can do much more easily with your cavalry), but won't really take out enemy infantry or cavalry by themselves.

>>165048117
some of the mid-tier archers are good for their price but bow cavalry has always been worthless, unless you have an army full of them to cheese your enemy
