Just picked up TW: Warhammer for christmas. Never played a TW game before but longtime Tabletop Player.

When are Lizardmen or Tomb Kings being released.

Having fun raping and pillaging as beastmen in the meantime.

>>165100361
Most likely next stand alone game. 1-2 years

>>165100361
Standalone expansion is probably coming Q2 of 2017, which might be HE+DE+Lizards+Skaven

February is going to see the free release of Bretonnia and the "Old World Edition" literally the same as it's always been, which is supposed to be the last DLC before the first standalone expansion

so it this standalone going to expand the map or is it going to be a separate campaign all together?

also is there a date for brettonia yet?

Right, Darren said

>Bretonnia will be getting stuff that isn't .... there ... or even ... anywhere...

Bretonnia is clearly getting new units that it never had in the last army book or 8th Edition.

Therefore, make your predictions to what Bretonnia will get.

>>165102668

Maybe a Sergeant at arms type unit. Something better than the men at arms, but still plausible infantry that isn't a knight..

I'm still holding out hope that there will be a couple more LL packs before they fully move onto the sequel. It be a damn shame if some this never got added. At least give me Marius CA.

Why do I have Durthu so much?

>>165102579
The original pitch was that each standalone expansion would be able to be played standalone like you can with the current version of the game, or in a grand grand campaign if you have them all

whats that bret unit with the peasants carrying around a dead grail knight that imbues them with holy might? it will probably be garbage in TWW because of low model count and meh stats

>it's another Durthu goes to war with everyone episode

>>165103153

Apart from LLs for flavor most of that shit isn't necessary apart from the following

Master Engineer - Empire has a fuckton of artillery but nothing to provide synergy with it
Dragon Slayer - High powered, fast, unbreakable melee hero and campaign map assassin
Savage Orc Boss - Can get way more mileage out of savage orcs especially if your playing Wurrzag
Huntsmen - Mid tier, anti-large, stalking, monster killing missile infantry for the Empire, get fucked Tree Hitler
Spirit Hosts - Essentially a later game upgrade to zombies, boast high as fuck physical resistance

Snotling Pump Wagon as a wildcard only for explosive spores, basically a suicide bomber unit that utterly ass fucks armored units.

I dont mind paying for the base games, all 3, but no way am I paying for some cut out bullshit. When are people going to crack the DLC?

>>165104195
I love Durthu. I love Durthu's genocide crusade.

>>165104402
>cut out bullshit

Warriors of Chaos are the only thing that fit that description and they suck. Everything else is pretty tops friendo.

>>165104537
Its already $180 at full price for 3 games, and youre telling me that paying for faction to go into the game is fine? Even if they add something they should be in the base game or added later as extras. They already got all my DLC patience on their bullshit 3 game thing.

>>165103153
It would be nice to see all of those units added to the game, however some are very unlikely.

>>165104296
I would love to see spirit hosts above all else, but honestly they would be broken.

You would have to build an army to counter them, ethereal units take long enough to die as it is, imagine a tarpit unit that is ethereal.

Im almost considering pirating the whole thing other then the first base game. Pay me back for the shit that was Attila, Napoleon and Empire.

I have a 1070 what settings should i put it on for the most stable framerate without the game looking like a potato

>>165105617
I havent enjoyed their last few games so I haven't bought it yet. Been playing warband as Im waiting for the Meiou and Taxes 2.0 to come out, and by the time Im done with that Banner Lord will be out, and Ill check back on the game to see if the squeal is worth it.
>>165105493
And someone will get around it. Might take a few years but if enough games start using it as an anti pirate measure more and more people will work on breaking it. As long as someone has the files on their computer the game will get out eventually.

>>165100238
Consensual hand holding and cuddling.

>>165105818

got a 970 myself and i play mostly on ultra with just shadows on medium, got like extra 10-20 fps from just using custom fan settings for the card because normally 970 fans start working at 60C, turned it to start at 40C and got instant increase. 80fps in campaign map and 50-70 fps in 1v1 ultra battles even when zoomed in. bigger matches naturally start lagging more.

>>165106086
If you are willing to wait a few years it will all be on sale for like 7 quid by then.

All the Attila DLC was 1.50 this Christmas sale.

>>165106161
That might be it, do you have an MSI 970? If so how would i go about forcing the fans to run at 40C

>>165106253

yeah got the MSI so im just using the MSI afterburner to tune it.

I know, itll probably be crap, but just like EU4 (probably the worst base game ever after 3-4 play throughs), the mod community will fix it.

>>165106309
i'm in afterburner right now, which option is it that lets me set it

>>165106785

just open settings (it has cogwheel symbol) and select fans, it has this fan speed/temp graph you can manipulate to set the speed of the fan at different temperatures.

>>165107078
I watched the dev video, but it looked like it would be the same thing just with better graphics and some of the ideas modders came up with. Well the larger map with some obviously over powered/under powered factions.

>>165106930
that did it, now it's running at 40C opposed to 58C idle, and at 35% fan speed

>>165105670
Playing as dwarves is literally the only time I don't mind WEs expanding a lot because you can assfuck them so hard every battle. Still, can't wait for a new patch to drop so they actually act like the defensive, isolationists assholes they're supposed to be. Gonna have to deal with them in my current campaign as GS and I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Is there a way to balance out the game so the AI are harder, and you are unable to steam roll?

I tried removing confederations, and regional occupation and this is what happened.

I think removing confederations was good, it slowed the game right down and some different people got some big empires such as the boarder princes.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Beastmemes and Wood Cunts get a few RoR units with the "Old World" edition coming out. CA probably wants to build up some good will before the second Warhammer game comes out, which is why we're probably getting Middenheim and Mousillon with Bretonnia as well.

Now that I think about it, there is a lot of shit coming with Bretonnia.

There should be some excuse like its an insult to their nobility or something. Merc tier is the highest they should get and their bowman should suck since they have range in artillery and mages.

>>165102428
a good version of chaos....and a merc centric ogre faction when they get released. Like maneaters are a "trade good" or something. Now that CA has pushed the scope of what they can do I think they can afford to be more daring with their design decisions.

>>165107891
>>165108051
>>165108132
All these things exist in some form, it's probably some form of creature the Brettonians use that nobody else does

>>165109745
It'll be an aspiring champion kind of unit if anything, very small unit size and without charge defense, so that you can't replace all the peasants with them.

>>165110673
What creatures would the Brets have though? Fish people that serve the Lady?

How will the border princes play do you think? And will they have to redo the entire roster for them or fuggin what?

Battle Penguins.

>>165111281
If I recall correctly they had a whole bunch of forest and mythical creatures in an older version of the game, so that may be it.
I don't remember exactly though.

I dont think they will ever really flesh the southern realms, maybe after game 3 in some silly little dlc done for the shekels, like the rome 2 daughters of mars dlc.

>>165119502
>attila
>shit
Mechanically it is the best game in the series. Unfortunately it's optimized like shit and the setting is pretty boring due to the game starting with 3 super blobs already in place. I actually like the setting and used to have a toaster so things running like shit doesn't actually bother me so I love it despite it's flaws.

Is there any way to play other then massivly blobbing? Im playing Rome 2 Britain and I just want to keep to the Isles but Im afraid of the AI just blobbing everything while I keep them back then just failing because of 5-6 stacks at once.

>>165119923
I don't know why everybody is hating on the setting, the only problem it has is no hoplites, otherwise it has everything rome has in terms of units plus more.

as for the blobs, I think that makes it a bit more fun, because playing as the blobs is kind of unique and instead of expanding you are often just trying to keep everything together and pull back in a way that lets you keep as much as possible, and especially as anything west it is really fun picking at the corpse of the western roman empire, taking advantage of rebellions and trying not to catch too much attention from the few remaining stacks and the WRE's allies.

>>165120442
As I said I actually like the setting, but the general consensus is that the 3 massive blobs take away a lot of the enjoyment of TW in building up your empire from scratch by fighting your neighbors who are doing the same.

It didn't help that at launch your choices were literally the three blobs or barbar shitters squatting around the Romans leeching off it like vultures. It takes away from the epicness of TW to only be able to play as a dying empire, two prebuilt steamrollers with absolutely no effort involved whatsoever or swarming scavengers. Empires of the Sand and White Huns were the best things to happen to Attila finally letting you play outside of the far west of europe without having to be a mega blob or a fucking horde.

I decided to play Medieval 2 because I've only played the games past Shogun 2 and I've heard M2 is the best one. Boy this is hard to go back to. The camera feels like pure cancer and not being able to use WASD to move it is really annoying. There are so many obtuse campaign systems and I can't tell what my units are actually doing in battles, or if my archers are even shooting.

Is there any way to make this easier to digest for someone who hasn't played the older games? Also it seems like I made a mistake by getting the Steam version cause apparently mods don't work.

During the upheaval caused by the Medhlan Wars, however, he was the one who rose up and went the aid at Genua and on to conquer the whole of Gaul in decades to come, forging his army into hardened and silvered steel whose mere presence would autoresolve most engagements.

This is why he was such an asset - he was both a general and a bureaucrat. RIP in pedos in the great beyond.

I run both on max quality, but rome runs at about 80fps even when there are multiple 20stacks on the field, while Attila drops down to below 30fps or even less when I look at the action, lowering settings doesn't help it that much, only unit count does (maybe my CPU is too weak?).
The texture quality seems to be at the same level to me, I guess Rome 2 has more simplistic models though.

>>165139167
Both pretty good, Wood Elves probably a bit more worth their money.
Beastmen are nice too though and one of the best hordes to play (of all TW games).

In the end it comes all down to:
>Poo Poo Pee Pee everywhere
or
>A (sometimes) comfy game of 'will ally for amber'

>>165139280
The minicampaign or the main campaign?
I think they both function fine, though both minicampaigns are fucking abysmally boring.

What most people complain about is playing AGAINST the Welves on the grand campaign.

>>165139347
Both, heard lots of complaints about how amber makes the game unplayable but I don't know whether that's valid criticism or just people failing to adapt.

>>165139434
That's an absurd commentary. Where the fuck did you hear that?

>>165139535
In my imaginary conversation I have in my head

>>165139167
I really like them both, but even then I have to say that they are unreasonably priced.
If you have enough spare money, go ahead and get what looks cooler to you. They are both very fun in the GC.

>>165139535
Mostly Steam reviews but I remember people complaining about amber when it came out in here too

>>165139434
I think the main issue is that the AI DOESN'T need amber so it can spam as much as it wants. Also due to a bunch of reasons the Wood Elves AI is really strong against other AI so it tends to steam roll them.

Honestly after playing them the amber costs are barely a issue it only affects like 4-5 late game units and your non amber units tend to be good enough anyway so only have a few higher tier units doesn't matter.

>>165139434

Amber does not make it unplayable. What you probably heard is how the AI doesn't have to use amber for anything whatsoever whereas the player is directed and inhibited by it. The AI gets amber-units for free, whereas the player doesn't, for example.

The wood elves are fine to play as, but are broken in the hands of an AI due to a few bugs, like not having a cooldown (should be 8 turns) on confederating other factions.

How it typically goes is:

4 AI wood elf factions - 1 main, 3 minor

Main confederates 1 minor, gets its 20 stack army and its maxed out city - easy 5k gold per turn and a massive army. Due to there being no cooldown for confederating, the AI will do this usually within 3 turns of being able, allowing them to snowball out of control and steamroll everything around them with no effort or loss.

That's what's broken about them.

>>165139645
Amber's a bit strange, on one side I like to be forced into alliances or taking land aggressively, on the other side that's absolutely against WElf lore and the resource only puts an artificial limiter on armies/techs/buildings (why not limit strong units in general then?)

I can't be the only one who likes to play Beastmen, Chaos, or Orcs every now and then to let out frustrations. You know, sometimes there's just a part in the back of your brain that wants to wreck shit, right?

>>165138632
So I'm this guy. I got fucked because the Chokosabe decided to check up on me with the goon squad after I barely murdered the Oda's daimyo and his other army parked on my doorstop. To put it simply, I lost. Great fucking game though. Gonna try a new campaign again, maybe start on a corner of the map instead of right in the middle. Any tips for beginners? I still feel like there are things about the economy and stuff that I'm not getting.

>>165139858
>I can't be the only one
no

>>165139858
That's why playing bad guys is so fun.

That said fuck me I had playing Orcs. Well no, I love to play them but I hate having to face the Dwarfs for the first 100 turns of bullshit in the badlands bowl before you can stretch out to really beat some heads.

Beastmen are pretty fun though. You get to feel like a right cunt to the AI. Attacking whats weak and then fucking off into your hidden camps.

>>165139858
Chaos has cool units, but their campaign sucks ass.

>>165139921

Build markets in every city. Designate a money maker (gold mine, highly fertile soil) and ONLY upgrade markets there. Build sake dens there. Build no more than 5 total markets.

For every market, you can recruit a metsuke. Put 3 metsukes (maximum) in your money maker cities. You can have 5 metsukes, which is why only 5 markets.

In your capital or recruitment center, build encampments and upgrade them into the armour version. Armour is OP early on especially with the archer spam.

Don't use your general for anything but abilities and hunting down fleeing units. They are squishy as fuck and few in number.

My favorite clan is Hojo. They start with a gold mine and an armourer building, allowing you to get OP as fuck armour units pretty easily. They start south-center on the map but allied with a few guys around them. Very easy first timer, imo. Lots of targets to pick and not many aggressive people nearby.

So, after beating Chaos and eradicating the Norsca threat everyone started hating each other. Had to break alliances and now half the world hates me.

Belegar declares war on me with Karak Hirn and Zufbar turns coat to help him. I have a one settlment ally in Karak Ziflin and Estalia is shit too.

Trying to save them from the Wood Elves with a couple of army. Get intercepted by Orion and power thingy says I should win easily, I do with autoresolve, but playing the actual battle is a massacre.

How am I supposed to fight Elves when they have armour piercing? Manly the stalk dickheads and Hawk Riders.

Stop this meme

>B-but they used to have them!

And Vamps used to have human auxiliary troops, doesn't mean they're gonna get them in TW:W

More non-gunpowder siege equipment (e.g. ballistas).
Probably Foot Knights
More men-at-arms, maybe with swords or crossbows since dwarfs and empire have them I don't think that will happen though

They could add them as a fixed siege weapon though

Breaking down the walls makes more sense than scaling them when all your men are on horses which they can't dismount

Bretonnia has Gelleons. CA will give them gunpowder and not care for GW's arthurian memes.
Deal with it nerds.

Vlad did nothing wrong. He should be rightful count elector. Sylvania will rise again.

What I thought, sucks that stalk means I can't shoot for most of the time. To paint the picture I had an army of DW, a couple with Great Weapons and a couple of Miners with Blasting Charges. For range I had two Cannons, two Organ Guns, 4 Iron Drakes one of wich with TT.

Thinking about it now. How is it if I would've made a DW line far enough to keep artillery out of range and soak missile. Miners in back lines to blast the charging wild riders. To keep artillery safe from fliers I can only think about keeping the Lord to fight grounded eagles and Irondrakes and Master Engineer to shoot them down with the Hawk Riders.

Sounds decent? I had no idea what the hell to do.

Which will never get added because naval combat will never get added.

Desert battles are comfy as fuck

>>165144085

that is irrelevant to the fact that they HAVE galleons. The fact they exist and are widely used is more than enough justification to add a cannon/bombard unit. Get over yourself.

The Man o' War license is separate from the Warhammer Fantasy Battles Licence so not in this game they don't

That's when you send him out on a voyage, friend. It would be a shame if he were to be ambushed, yes?

>>165144152
you don't seem to have realised that the latest edition of Bretonnia in TT never had cannons newfriend.

>>165145167

you also don't seem to realise that CA are at liberty to do whatever the fuck they want, as clarified by darren. what aren't you getting about this?
