Rejoice! For a Knight of Bretonnia provides your shield.

So is Karl just going to be the Empire's premier combat lord? There are others who are better fighters than him, but don't get griffons or the titular Warhammer.

No clue senpai, I think the offending files were just a generic pack1, pack2, pack3 back in Shogun 2.

Here is my vanilla installation of TWW, completely functioning.(well, only mod is the any unit as lord thing) And I have all DLC.
See if you have anything there that I don't and axe it.
Depending on your download speed just delete them all and verify integrity of cache.

Otherwise I dunno, maybe update your drivers and try DX11 if you're trying DX12 maybe.

Can't help you any further as I have to crash asleep right now. Good luck.

whats the point of public order in warhammer if
a) it's never a threat as long as you have a garrison building
b) can never be used against the ai to undermine them and
c) confers no bonus for actually trying to max it out

like great power it seems entirely pointless

>>166188493
Tfw causing rebellions in ally territory so I can take it without having to betray my ally.

>>166187948
oh yes

>>166188538

On anything above easy that's literally impossible and the AI usually camp out their capital so the rebels always lose. Shit Warhammer doesn't even have agent actions like poison wells, or incite riots or anything.

Wow I'm just starting to realize how fucking cut down of a game TWW is.

>m-muh animation skeletons

>>166188493
>A)
It can still be a threat, garrisons just reduce the threat.
>B)
It can be used to undermine the AI, because half the time they can't hold their settlements against the rebels, which either respawns a faction or spawns a neutral faction that's hostile to everyone.
>C)
I got nothing. I guess to give more breathing room when it starts going down? Public order really only matters if it is about to hit or has hit -100.

Great power, on the other hand, only pushes a player to be more aggressive. Gotta love a -20 to relations with everyone on the map, in addition to whatever negatives you already had with them.

>>166188692
>It can still be a threat, garrisons just reduce the threat.

I've never seen that be the case to be honest. Province capitals even with tier 1 walls can easily fend off a stack of rebels because rebels don't siege. If rebels could besiege it be a bigger threat but they just suicide against the walls.

>It can be used to undermine the AI

I'm specifically talking about Hard to VH for Warhammer, and I have literally never seen AI PO go into the negative. Even with a hero camped there it'll always be 10+ ticking per turn. Even with corruption above 75%.

Are there any brilliant tutorial videos on how to not be totally shit at TW:Warhammer?

I really don't have any natural talent for these games but don't want to have to win just by having way more units or direct counters.

>A)
It can still be a threat, since they will raid respurces, and lock your settlements via siege, they also force you to spend a building slot (which in Warhammer is no loss due to the gimped building chains) and may be cause you to lose some needed manpower if joined with other, powerful enemies
>B)
Agree, on the more minmaxy side, your rebels will also attack any other nearby army, including your enemies, in Skarsnik campaign, a rebel stack crippled Belegar's army, making the follow-up battle easy, there is no point to working against the opponent's Public Order bonus

SO WE DON'T DIE OF BOREDOM

I am new to Total War Warhammer and Total War in general. Trying to win with Dwarf but always lose around turn 70+ (empire too big, too many enemies attacking at once). Any tip you guys can give me?

>>166190262
don't play as grudge obsessed midgets

>>166190262
Build walls. They will buy you time to react to attacks. Get more allies and be more careful when warring I guess.

>>166190262
Tip 1: Don't fight the Empire. They're your best allies, specially when Archaon decides to fuck everything.

Tip 2: Fight factions one at a time, try to have all enemies on the same front if you have to fight several (you'll have to fight pretty much every greenskin tribe as dwarves so try to conquer Gunbad quickly to cover your rearguard and start making cash, then focus on the badlands)

Tip 3: BUILD. EVERY. FUCKING. WALL.

YOU SHOULD DO THIS AS EVERY FACTION, BUT SPECIALLY DWARVES, THEY'RE THE BEST AT DEFENCE

>>166190363
But I like bombarding people from afar
>>166190387
Tbh I lost most of the timr because of allies. They always seem to go to war at the worst possible time, and, in the rare chance that they decide to join my federation, their cities are usually in bad shape and surrounded by enemies.

>>166190485
are you thinking about suicide a lot?

>>166190582
>They always seem to go to war at the worst possible time, and, in the rare chance that they decide to join my federation, their cities are usually in bad shape and surrounded by enemies.


Well, it seems you should be more careful with your diplomacy overall. Confederation isn't always a good idea.

>>166190582
Only do defensive alliances, and even then do the sparingly. Allies tend to get you into undesirable wars. And don't confederate unless you know for sure you can hold the cities you'll get and you can take the diplomatic relations hit with everyone else. Confederating at the wrong time can really fuck up your game.

>>166189134
PartyElite has a lot of turtorial videos.

This already the case. Giving the Empire a Lore of Death Wizard would be nice too.

Ok very real questions: Should I buy all the dlcs for Warhammer now or wait for them to go on sale (which is prolly in 6 more months)?
Also, do people in multi enjoy coop or versus more?

>>166190814
Yeah, basically keep giving the Empire gifts until relations are good enough. 5k isn't really that much, and as dwarves you should have much more than that. per turn.

Also, you have to plan out how you're going to build your cities. You have to get garrisons everywhere, so plan around that. I've found a fairly good setup for dwarves that allows for recruitment of pretty much everything (except slayers) while also having good economy just with Silver Road and Rib Peaks.

alans have decent infantry to0 though

but to answer your question my favourite, non alan, barbars are:
>ostrogoths
roman buildings and units working means you don't have to spend billions converting settlements, a great roster and a fun campaign, arian christianity is the 2nd/3rd best religion in the game
>ebdanians
having an army of nothing but spearchuckers is hilarious, the campaign is a bit too easy if you decide to stay on the isles though, might want to consider migrating somewhere more fun
>saxons
a cool roster, the best looking barbar units in the game, a lot of different enemies around you to fight, intense and fun campaign

franks are pretty cool too, but since they also have a cav heavy roster you might wanna ignore them

>FotE will never update the Saxon/Nordic roster

honestly the ebdanians are a pain in the ass if you want to use your kerns, because if you fire into the rear of an enemy that is engaged w/ your melee line, you will do huge amounts of friendly fire unless you mod the ff mechanics

The Celts will dominate the world.

your top tier javelins are so strong that they can reliably beat most mid-tier infantry in melee, and if they get a few volleys of they will beat even an elite infantry in melee

There were so many of them so they bogged down my units and slowly killed them. I won though, but with serious losses. The army got it's strength back right away though because of my recruitment buffs and merging.

A shitty movie with terrible lighting and aliasing up the ass, maybe.

Thinking about making a mod for the Empire in Warhammer that replaces their garbage offices with Elector Count positions instead. I'm not sure how feasible it is but I'd like to have tied to capturing/confederating/vassalzing those provinces capitals in order to unlock them. Each would have a bonus tied to whatever those factions are known for and apply factionwide.

It wasn't replenishment(though that helped my lords). I merged the surviving units and recruited new ones. I only managed to get back in shape that quickly because of my planning(investing in recruitment slot buffs)

There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in total war modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic Europa Barbarorum or its medieval counterpart Stainless Steel. Radious mod will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Radious mod, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.

Radious mod is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Radious mod pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.

Yes indeed, The time of Europa Barbarorum’s sovereignty over modding has passed; Radious mod is the herald of a new era that is to come.

You can probably tie the different positions to different buildings that you can only build in the Empire province capitals. You basically do what they did with Wood Elves.

>>166194262

It's been tried, not possible. The game crashes if you add more than I think 8 offices. Same with building mods, CA hardcapped the number of building chains for some mysterious reason.

This is genuinely a really good thing. Attila has a lot of outstanding features, and attention to detail. Age of Charlemagne added things like war weariness which further nuanced the campaign management aspect of the game. On top of family trees and internal politics.

I've tried two tactics and they've both NEARLY worked

One, rush ships to get the trade nodes. This will let you get trade agreements. That with the research for diplomacy bonuses will let you maybe keep one person as not an asshole to you.

Eventually I just gave up though because keeping ships was too costly, the trade nodes too far away, and people kept shitting on my boats.

The second tactic was just to hunker down, improve my land, and slowly take other places with religious rebellions or whatever. Then fortify those places and move on. People REALLY dislike that though, so you have to be fucking air tight or they will shit on you.

Probs because the AI thinks you're weak.
You need to let your army's big duck hang out for all the other clans to see so they won't think declaring war is a good idea.

Also fuck having vassals, the AI sees an easy target and doesn't realize you're attached to it on the other end.

Middenheim? More like midden heap.

Sigmar and Karl Franz, not Ulric and Boris Gayface, ok?

How do I stop the Huns from molesting my WRE boipussi?

>>166204296
I tried the trade note thing as well because that's how I won with Otomo, but yeah with the Ikko Ikki it's mostly not worth it
>>166204312
Next time I think I'll just fortify Kaga and not go west at all, then just spam temples and slowly expand by rebellion. Sometimes you can get a good ally or vassal but everyone just seems to backstab the Ikko Ikki 24/7

>>166204720
Force them to siege you? You've got great heavy spearmen and crossbows and javelin-throwers.

Dude. Disregard your shitty archers, go nuts on Yari Wall and SWORD ashigaru. Get the melee attack booster from your smith province, your units will rip through shit.

Eventually get a few monk archers and you're set.

Damn cav is good in Attila, how do the Huns compare to based Alans?

Huns have a much wider selection of cavalry. Seriously, like, they have as much of each individual type as other "cavalry" factions have in their entire roster.

>>166203653
River Reik and River Stir meet at Altdorf, Reik is the one that runs past Marienburg and into the sea and Stir is the one that runs north between Stirland and Middenland

Their cav is more or less the same but the Huns truly shine against Romans or Christian factions in general thanks to their faction trait

>>166205021
More cavlary and some of the best foot archers and swordsmen in the game. They are basically a bullshit faction.

>>166204720
equites promoti or scholae palatinae will beat any hun cavalry, cornuti seniores in a testudo are invincible to arrows, a few herculiani will deal with their infantry with some support, balistarii and/or noble foederati javelins will weaken chosen uars enough for your infantry to deal with them

Do I need a compatibility patch to make Europa Perdita and FotE work together?

>>166205183
Neat. I don't like to go North or East of that then, until I have affairs settled in not france and not spain.

>>166205021
alani melee and shock cav is significantly stronger than hunnic cav, but huns have much better horse archers and melee infantry, noble alani cavalry is one of the strongest cav units in the game and loses only to lakhmid al-dawser and those himyarite pagan super camels

>>166180654
Alright, I'm awake. No idea if you're still here or not.

Little barbar shits pretend to get along with the civilized Romans but secretly harbour barbar ambitions. It's pretty self explanatory my dude.
