What are cannons good for?

It says they are anti large, but single targets like a giant or shaggoth take a tiny amount of damage.

1 archer or handgun units seem more effective than multiple canons.
>>
>>166648497
Its just one of the things that hasn't been balanced enough yet. While there are some artillery that can pt in work like the Hammer of Witches most of it doesn't do enough damage before the main lines engage and it takes a long time to take out large given the map in the first place is to your advantage to begin with.

Artillery is good against cav and really good against elite cav but not really monsters yet, besides making a giant fall over again and again like a drunk. The double handgunner/thunderer more reliable. Which is sad considering canons are the solution to anything in TT.

Friendly reminder wood elves are murderous, cannibalistic heathens who enjoy torturing, raping, and murdering poor Bretonnian peasants. The only reason why they care about any life that isn't another wood elf is when their precious forest might be threatened as a result.

I've never played the Alans before so I'm gonna ask for some advice. Where should I settle from here? It's 421 AD and it's been rather slow.

Is taking Sarmatia Europaea a safe bet or would Attila eventually come over here?

So instead of using swamp tactics, adaptive front lines, hammer and anvils or anything resembling a thought process just spam minos and win the day stroking it to big beef charge/attack animations.

Beastmen can be a difficult challenge and feel good when the herd finally get em after a good slog. I could give that army to a dog and the only way it will lose is if it accidentally unplugs the computer its playing on.

>>166657167
I hammer with the tusky doggos.

When I play a faction I try to use what's unique about them. No other faction has warbeasts above dogs. Minotaurs are some of the best monstrous infantry. Gors for the most part are just standard infantry but shit.

Centaurs also look pretty terrible.

I don't jerk off to the charge because legendary and I can't pause.

I am sure I will try other shit out because it's my first campaign as beastmemes, hence I'm playing the mini-camp.

You know anon if you combine poison doggos with GWCentigors you have a great cav trap. Doggos catch/soak the charge and centigors deal the damage and with poisoned stats that enemy cav will likely lose and can't escape.

A gor herd front line with besties mixed in can provide a good armor-piercing line. Spear ungors can tie up monsters and trade cost efficiently. Plus overwhelming numbers with multiple stacks is kind of their thing, especially with such high speed their second army arrives before other races will.

Minos are fast enough to be used on the flanks or tough enough to be a linebacker like crypt horrors depending on what the enemy looks like.

Try you know, actually thinking instead of monstrous spam. You might have more fun.

>do people even use Lore of Beasts?

Yes?

Flock of Doom is the best AoE damage spell in the game
>>
>>166660225
flock of doom

It used to also be useful for manticores but the new summoning mechanics mean transformation of kadon is a useless spell. Pann's Impenetrable Pelt is underrrated imo, 24% ward save is nothing to sleep on
>>
>>166660225
Lore of beasts is really good against a blob with Flock of Doom, and in MP you take no other spell for cost reasons.

Curse of Anraheir can be decent against WElfs, so is DoomFlock with the Elf bunching. Wyssan's Wildform is decent on a mino unit or hero.

Amber spear isn't good, Pann's Impenetrable Pelt is good on a hero is sticky combat.

Doomflock is the only MP-viable spell just to really drive that home.

I mean the lore of the wild gives +10 vigour when you cast something. Which obviously is useless for centigors.

you fucking assmonkey, even with both of my armies I lose if attacking the settlement thanks to Steel Garrison Overhaul's changes, so I am trying to wait out the settlement and force them to either starve to death or sally out and face both my armies on the field, but due to the lightning strike bull shit they can isolate one of my armies while still getting their reinforcements. If the lightning strike was working like it is supposed to, Skarsnik wouldn't be able to isolate my armies without also losing the 4000 strong night gobbo garrison force

lol
>>
>>166661350

Lightning strike is working how it's supposed to. If Skarsnik was instead inside the town's zone of control, and not its garrison, he wouldn't get the garrison army in a lightning strike battle. Just move away, put armies on ambush and try to bait him out. Failing that, try assassinations.

How do you guys play tokugawa in shogun 2?

So far i've tried
>staying a vassal of imagawa, building up and then going ham when he gets wiped out by takeda/hojo usually.

>defeat oda invasion turn one
>turn two, oda invades, go around him and siege his castle. Request peace and give him military access, let him kill imagawa.

I prefer the first method.

Not a fan of declaring war on imagawa right at the start and taking the diplomacy hit. Shit sux.

Currently control all of japan east of kyoto. Turtling and jewing a bit before carrying on.

>>166662119

AP damage, good defense, anti-large. Good front liners against hard armor

>>166661252
Yeah the damage is a good point, but the extra attack is wasted on slot of their other units. Does anyone know how much friendly damage it does? Theoretically it show work pretty well with harpies since they have low attack and high damage, but they have low hit points.

Also I think it only affects non-ap damage, there are other spells that effect ap damage only
>>
>>166663250
honestly it just costs to much magic to be effective, and it only effects one unit unlike other spells which can effect your entire main line of infantry
>>
>>166663386
It has a 5 second casting time, which I thought might be useful since it's give all your units +24â„… speed for that duration. And the vigour but I'm not sure how that works.

Traitor kin also has a long casting time and seems to be a anti-cavalry spell, but that has a really high cost too.

Ya wild riders are the cav he kinda goofed on but the stats make up for it.

Grail Knights, Demis, Chaos Knights the gods on horseback are the ones who should be subjected to the 24 unit model count with very good stats. But those 24 count units are very good but make themselves really weak to artillery since a good hit still wipes a model which is how it should be.
>>
>>166668632
Demis still unfairly outclass non-monstrous cav. Even Blood Dragons. And Blood Dragons are more expensive. Though they do have a very specific utility within the roster that justifies their cost.
Chaos and Grail knights are underwhelming compared to those two.

>Empire and VC being too strong compared to other races
Really, its only been that way since Patch 1

But ya Blood Knights are another one for that list I missed.
>>
>>166668974
It's coincidental that the two strongest factions have the two strongest cavalry units. Well, in part. While they're the two strongest, Demis are cheaper and better. Whereas Blood Dragons are more expensive and your only really reliable source of anti-large.(Actually I think terrorgeists might do that as well).
They're a balanced part of the VC roster, where imbalance comes from elsewhere.

And it's not like you can't still take boar boy big'uns and wreck demis with them anyway.

I discussed a similar topic recently, simply on the difference between how conventional and monstrous cavalry interact with units.
Demigryphs are basically what chariots wish they could be.
>>
>>166668773
Actually you may not know this but SFO adjusts a lot of unit stats from vanilla. Chaos and Grail's have much better performance there than vanilla. So does magic and cannons so that 24 model count can get absolutely wrecked on a open map with a canon.

Chaos Knights are practically Grail Knights in power level as well.
I don't know about Demigryphs but assumed they were standard pretty good human knights with particularly strong mounts. And weaker than the three conventional god cavalry units.

In that post I was more talking in regards to the game balance than the lore. Blood Dragons' balance fits the lore well enough. Demis should either be more expensive or weaker though, for both lore and balance reasons.

Grail knights should see adjustment with the Bretonnia launch. S O O N.

I think the Bretonnian Knights should only be better than a comparable cav unit in another army
Knights of the Realm>Empire Knights
Reiksguard> Knigths of the Realm
Grail Knights>Reiksguard
Questing Knights (great weapons) should be the large monster rapesquad and Knights Errant should serve as sword and shield cav just to round things out.

Right, I'm saying fixes for after the "Old World" release.

LotR is not a great setting that relies on characters. Warhammer has a better setting and much more in terms of factions and diversity in a fantasy setting. And most of these factions can be linked to historical cultures, stretched to some Hyperbole. There is way more to the Empire and Bretonnia than Gondor and Rohan. Hell even the bad guys come from various tribes and leaders instead of "the big bad".

Its also really black and white meanwhile. Warhams is black vs. various shades of grey thinking they they alone are the whitest of whites.

It's worth it if you're interested in the setting. The game doesn't have a huge roster of units but because of this everything else is pretty highly polished. The only real DLC you'd want is Fall of the Samurai as that is a really well done campaign that changes how the game works.

LOTR's license was probably too much for SEGA right now, considering there have not been any movies out for a while to help to market it, (I do have fond memories of Battle for Middle Earth 2, however.
Games Workshop on the other hand is a company which has had no clue what to do with Its ip for some time, especially after their main vidya partner went down. The slew of GW brand Games you see now is the result of them desperately trying to find some way to be profitable.
>>
>>166675380
LOTR is definitely more character focused but it's world building is much better than WHFBs. Remember that Tolkien codified a lot of the common fantasy tropes we see today. Warhammer is basically equal parts Tolkien, European history, and Blackadder.

While it is the first its barely a better setting than a D&D campaign. If it wasn't for the characters what else is there?

Again what do the factions in LotR offer that Warhammer doesn't? Then Warhammer has factions and traits LotR doesn't have.

Greenskin tribes (goblin, night goblin, orc, savage orc) all bashing each others' skulls in for dominance

Human kingdoms with politically-entwined religious institutions, one based on HRE the other French middle ages with Arthurian flare

Murder vikings, mutated half-man/half-beast abominations, mutated rat-men

Splintered elf races ranging from world-police to reprehensible raiders relying on psychological warfare

Hell even the minor footnote nations have more to their flavor. LotR was there first but it got boring.

Its hard to compare LotR and WHFB because they were trying to do different things. I love both.
I agree with you that Warhammer is a better fit for Total War, but I a also think a LotR Total War could work.

I always figured skaven would be included or after this expansion. Since they would be both in the old and new world.

I think it has been confirmed that they're working on more elf animations somewhere. And the New World is the only place to go that makes any sense.
>>166686252
Yeah probably, depends on how much $60 is worth to you.
I'd say wait for a sale. There might be a slight one when old world edition caps everything off, probably late feb.
Humblebundle sale JUST ended.
Get it off GMG if you can. They have a default 20% off everything. Though if somebody else could confirm that it is sold there I'd appreciate it. Even though I originally bought it from GMG, I can no longer find it in the store. Might be a localization thing for the Strayan store for whatever reason though.

>>166686458
>>166686670
It's primarily this that leads us to conclude that the russian leak is going to be false moving forward.

And it's a question of how much of CA's plan has changed.
Originally there were to be three standalone expansions that only unite when they've finished everything.

But with this much stacked in the first release, and the very literal statement of making sure the first expansion has as much or more than the original game on release(so they can charge full price probably), the original plan and what the leaks imply no longer make the most sense.

Most likely they will be joining the other three new world factions in the next expansion.

And it may indicate that there will be a united grand campaign immediately, as skaven are more relevant in the old world obviously.

Also Chaos Stunties are listed to appear BEFORE Ogres, which is so ludicrous I simply refuse to believe it.
>>
>>166686670
>>166686458
It's pretty much guaranteed that Skaven will be in the vanilla release of the second game, when they shuffled around their schedule and did WE.

The first game had 4 factions at launch, so the second game will most likely have skaven moved up from a race pack, to being one of the 4 at launch.

You should wait for the sale or whatever. By that time you get a load of free dlc too.

>>166689815
It's a independent merchant republic(De jure part of the Empire). They seceeded from the Empire by bribing the corrupt Emperor at the time. The Empire was also experiencing a rather big greenskin invasion so they couldn't do much about it. The Empire tried later to retake Marienburg, but the imperial armies were pretty much exhausted.

They have a huge and important port that trades with the whole world basically.

What do you consider the midway and late game point in grand campaign? What turn?

Whats the general good way to build up territories? I typically will have a province with one territory acting as the military base and the rest purely built up for economy/research but it never really takes off.

Is there a decent way to conduct diplomacy as Vampire Counts? The dwarfs and humans always hate me and never seem to be ok, and the Orks are chummy until they want my boypussy.

Scouting?
What?

Your army composition must attempt to win the battle. The battle is won by its sum of smaller engagements. To win as many engagements as possible:
Have a strong enough anvil(defensive line) to not break immediately.
Have enough cavalry/cavalry-equivalent to defeat the opponent's flankers and then attack the enemy's units from behind. Have enough range to do what you want.(Arty if you're stunties and do best when you draw the enemy in, appropriate missiles if your anvil is shit compared to the enemy anvil,{bring gunners against Chaos as Empire etc.}, no missiles if you're a rush army etc.)

So Lord, utility hero or two, arty or two, missiles zero to four, anvil of ten or so, the rest on the flank.

You seem to be asking about the VC so I'll give an example of them in the image.

Mid game starts when you're on top of your first wars. And when everything you fight and use becomes a full stack. First province or two.
Late game is when you have ground through midgame enough to properly secure what you do have, and are making near enough as much money as you can out of several provinces.
Depends on the faction for the turn, Greenskins and Vamps can blitz pretty damn hard. 10 to 15 in general I guess. 20 to 25 if you're a slower player.
Late game probably 50, 60+ again depending on a fair few variables.
Military recruitment centres being rare is correct, take advantage of region specific buildings if Empire.
Economy everywhere as much as you can. Happiness everywhere as much as you need.(including anti-corruption).
!WALLS EVERYWHERE!

On higher difficulties I have had no luck with diplomacy as VC, I think I've seen a few who have. Don't really need it though, as much as trade would boost their abysmal income.

>>166691492
Fair enough, crossbow spam I guess. It's their most damaging unit early on and fucks the entire empire roster until Greatswords are a thing everywhere.
Flagellants if you're using Volkmar maybe. They seem good. Haven't tried.

Ah ok, appreciate that. I'm used to normal total war games where it was pretty clear cut what beat what, not sure what advantages trolls have over Longbeards and shit l ike that. For now I'm playing Savage Orcs and trying to figure out a good army composition.I'm assuming at a point I'm going to start substituting my Savage Orcs for regular Orcs/Bigguns.

There were some very rare instances in which they were not, iirc. The order had a policy of not paying ransoms for captives, but I think there were a few prisoner exchanges.
Also, they might be present at the surrender and then executed later. Possibly by hilariously inept pacifists that Saladin is forcing to be executioners because he thinks it'll be a good laugh.

>>166697296
Oh I went overboard on the basic tactics then.

Warhammer's differences to the main series are quite simple

Picture your standard Rome/Attila dynamics.
Units are large or they are not.
Except in those games only cav and elephants were large.
In warhammer everything that isn't infantry is large.

There is this consideration in addition to the consideration of base AP.

Longbeards have charge defense against large. Trolls have respectable charge bonus.
Trolls do AP damage, longbeards don't do anti-large.
Longbeards are still a defensive unit but trolls are a good idea to counter them(in theory, trolls are pretty much garbage because of their paper morale).

I haven't played Savage Orcs but in general both basic savage orcs and orc boyz are pretty mediocre. Big'uns are better. Black Orcs are absolutely superb.

Black Orcs and Doom Divers are the two best units the Greenskins have.
Their archers are sometimes necessary but their weakest point by far.
Their cav is sufficient(which gets a boost against the stunties because of their complete inability to deal with cav), and the rest of their infantry are units which are not black orcs to varying degrees. Big'uns weapon damage is so substantial they do more than they appear to at a glance.
Nasty Skulkers are also pretty damn good.
Big Spider gets a mention for beating nearly anything else 1v1, really handily(will stunlock giants etc.), but otherwise isn't THAT good.

That's just it though. The additional effort.
Let's glance at /v/ for a moment.

Okay, I found this. This shall be our subject.

Imagine if instead of that text template and the top google image result, the poster took ingame screenshots, edited them in GIMP to draw attention to the character in question. Then took out the booklet that came with the game(assuming such a thing exists, we're hypothetical here), scanned it and used images from that to provide some sort of separate insight to the character. Then they opened up the relevant wiki and found a couple of damn obscure facts about the character. And then inserted the text of the post into the image as well.

Probably wouldn't take long. But relative to the post as we see it, it is absolutely ridiculous. It's like a child's research poster on the Baktrian Camel or an obscure Central American country.

I have a vested interest in new content for Total Warhammer. Thus I share this interest with whoever made these images. I'm embarrassed to be associated with them in any way.

Just hit realm divide in my S2 Date game, and the AI bumrushing me with multiple stacks is fucking me over.
I have one full stack veteran'd out army led by my Daimyo pushing toward Kyoto, and another not-so-veteran army led by his son attempting to defend our inner land from a vassal that's betrayed us and the Hojo that I neglected to take out before RD hit. The problem is that these two armies are simply not enough.

My question is, what's the quickest/cheapest way to raise effective armies?
I've gone from over 2k/turn to about 200, and my funds are running dry. I just got the ability to build a nanban port, but are gunpowder units that much of a game changer?

So I'm new to Attila, and how do I keep public order in check? I'm the Suebi, and I settled in Northwest Hispania because it looked comfy and was fairly rich.
However, taking that city and two settlements, my armies can't keep order for shit. On top of that, my main city needs the help of one of the towns to keep food, and the other to give me positive income.
So I want to convert my people, but I don't have enough money because they're revolting every couple of turns and removing my food/income and I have to march my army out to stop them while the rebelling Hispania wants to cross my borders.
Should I just start over and get priests while I'm nomadic?

Raid the Romans for cash to develop your settlements. You have a grace period immediately after putting down a rebellion where another one won't rise up for a few turns, even with the worst public order.

There is a solution to that problem but it has to come from CA since no modder can do it apparently.

There is a reason they put caps on units since without it 85% of the game's roster is worthless without AP damage. Also some factions become exponentially more broken for it, look at you Franz.

I wish CA would split the 20 unit limit into different slots, like having max 5 slots for elite shit like Greatswords and then general slots for low tier stuff and then maybe a few special slots for shit like steam tanks or demis.

If that sounds too restricting it could be just a soft cap, like if you stick with the "caps" you get upkeep reductions and stuff, but you could always just go 20/20 Elites with upkeep increase if you have the insane economy to back it up.

What if army stacks were larger than 20 units, you have a general slot, a hero slot, 5 elite slots, and then 20 regular slots, and units like goblins only take up half a slot.

>>166707714
It would be nice, I got bored of elite spamming in R2 when I figured out I have more fun with pre-marian roman units than spamming praetorian guards 12 times.

I like the special/rare system because it makes sense and not everything that is special is better. Miners, for instance are needed too much for their actual job than getting conscripted to fight unless its necessary thus they are a special unit. Mounted yeomen are the best of the best men-at-arms carved out of years of service given the ultimate privilege a peasant can and payed beyond all peasants, also a special.

A unit loses the wow factor when it comprises your whole army and best yet GW already set up what units are what and why, most you can figure out yourself.

It would change how the game is played and make almost any unit worth taking, even savage orcs would be an asset for tearing through Empire/Elf/Bretonnian infantry cores and pressing flanks. Beastmen swarms can finally make a decent fight on the front lines. Dwarfs and chaos get to flex their superior armored cores that you can't go toe-to-toe infantry wise.

>>166708331
not same anon but there's got to be something available for those who don't want to make the same 6 stacks to fight the AI doing the exact same thing. Would make MP far more interesting as well.

>>166707479
Crank your taxes to full for a few turns. It'll bomb your public order but it also stops immigration and that'll bring down that issue.
Otherwise you need religious conversion and happiness buildings. Traits from your governors and generals help too.

Also, is it worth replacing Roman infrastructure? It uses a lot more food, but the benefits still seem decent. Plus, it costs a lot to change them--should I just wait until later, when my economy is better?
>>
>>166708576
In MP you have limited funds. It's better to have 12 stacks of normal units then 6 stacks of elites.

>>166707267

Well, can't it be done as some kind of cost-based penalty?
Like, if you have more/less troops than you should, then they get more/less expensive?

For example:
If you have 4 provinces where you can recruit Empire Spearmen, and only 1 province where you can recruit Demigryphs, that means you can ideally have 4 Spearmen and 1 Demigryph per each 5 units in your armies.
So, if you recruited 2 Spearmen and 2 Demigryphs, the Demigryphs will be twice as expensive as usual, and Spearmen would be half as expensive.
Again, for example.

Because you're too young and naive to realize the majority of the bullshit you've been fed that is supposedly the anti-thesis of racism and the like is in fact the exact same kind of intolerance, down to a point, only applied differently. And that nearly the entirety of what we call as fact about WW2 is literal propaganda we simply never forgot and the Nuremberg trials was a kangaroo court with absolutely no reference to the holocaust in it, survivor stories that border on insanity and fanfiction tier bullshit, and by that I mean shit like a nazi supposedly kicking a 2x4 down some Jewish kid ass only for him to survive whitout any actual injury (IRL it would have caused a massive rupture of the intestine, you can't survive that shit, we ain't talking of modern anal porno professional either) or that other one who was shot yet miraculously survive as the the bullet (amusing how they didn't bother to shoot the guy more than once...) was blocked by his pocket Talmud... there are thousand of stories just as absurd as these. They pretty much make up the entirety of holocaust survivor stories in fact!

Also take into consideration that there are a lot of sketchy thing happening when it comes to verifying the fact, like how geological studies of the death camp were deemed illegal after the initial one discovered absolutely no trace that could point out to mass graves like the holocaust survivor stories refer to across the entire terrain of the camp. No bone, no abnormal underground mass, nothing. Also take consideration that you can be accused of hate crime(That can bring you as up as 5 year in prison in Canada and France!) for talking about holocaust revisionism, yet another genocides like the Armenian one are allowed to speak against without any consequence, to the point that the politician make it LEGAL to do so...

The more you look into it, the less sense the entire story as we are told make sense.

Honestly man, instead of getting all edgy and denying the holocaust, you should instead look into the truth of the matter. It's not about the told jewish survivor stories, it's about the initial intent that remains ignored - work camps with abominable conditions are still a gross violation of human rights, regardless of whether it was jews/polacks/russians/ukrainians/belarussians/gypsies/whatever in them. The jews thend to make use of the fact too much to manipulate gullible people, sure, but don't go dismissing the horrors that actually happened because of assholes who lie about the truth of the matter.

>>166735813

Exactly, which make the entire thing even more questionable. Hell, there also the fact that the entirety of the supposed death camps were all conveniently in the eastern part of divided Germany that was under soviet rule, far away from the eyes of the west so who knows what really happened over there? The USSR and the KGB were a bunch of manipulative scum who did shit so horrid to their own folks you wouldn't even believe it, false flags among others thing, so take what we're told about WW2 with a grain of salt.

Hell, that make me remember that one photo with a Soviet pulling the Sickle & hammer over the Reichstag is actually tempered because the guy pulling the flag had 2 gold watches in the original, which is obviously standard soldier equipment...
>>

No, I meant like that's why there weren't any references to the holocaust in the trial because people didn't use that word.

While having Boris around is neat, he is not the greatest opportunity to mix stuff up. The starting position is a forced march away assuming there is a "Middenland Secessionists" to chomp through.

At least the Mad Count would offer a more interesting start close to many potential problems from the inevitable Vampire problem, Greenskins and Border Princes who can be randomly aggressive. As well as a cooler character who is a great Empire tactician through his insanity. Plus Averland color scheme.

If Boris comes with some Ulrican units it will be good but without that I won't be impressed.

>I-it isn't about the survivor story, you stupid edgy GOY! It's about the horror they survived! Err, wait, that came out wrong...

When you look at the truth, as you say, it become far more blatant that the majority of the PoW that died in german camps wasn't due to systemic extermination but due to the lack of resources due to all the access points and railroad being bombarded non-stop by the invading Americans in conjunction with poor hygienic that helped in the proliferation of diseases like Typhus, whose victim are a literal copy-paste of the supposed victim of Zyklon-B.

Holy shit, I checked the Zyklon-B page and they even changed the number of Jews that died from it to 1 million! That is amusing, especially when I come form a generation that have been shoved down its throat since its earliest age that 6 million Jews had died, not one more or less. Can't make that shit up

Now that the lie is up they are trying to shove under the rug the fact that they tried to silence any discussion about the subject for years, anyone who haven't lived under a rock for years will remark it.

You faggot, the term have been around as early as the 1930 and even earlier. You can even find news articles from the earliest of Hitler rule that whine on how his actions against the Weimar republic is tantamount to holocaust.

>>166737913

What tell you that this sudden acceptance that the jews weren't the sole victim of Hitler (honestly, never heard of any others of his victims when I was younger, had to actually read about to subject to know they weren't the sole victim, that is Canadian education for ya!) it ain't part of said propaganda?

They're trying to wash away their lies with pointless details about the situation while dodging all consequence for their actions. For the point was never wether or not they were the sole victim or anything close to that, but rather that the Jews lied to us as to abuse of our empathy by claiming to be such, and that they have to answer for such disgracious deeds. Do not fall for their trick, else they'll simply slip through your fingers and not learn a single fucking thing.

Well he is a skilled fighter for sure, uses a runefang and a long dagger. With that he is the only character in TT who is allowed to use 2 handweapons while mounted, one of them being a runefang.

If he is ever implemented he should be a good character killer but cannot fly, why would you anyway Daisy is his best friend and adviser. Maybe even frenzy and rage depending on how they want to go with him.

Would be a fun character to listen to raving like a lunatic or taking to Daisy.

You are so focused on the jews and disproving their lies that you refuse to take the next logical step and dismiss the liar entirely
Why are you even paying any attention to the horseshit that they spew? Squabbling over murder methods, numbers, oven sizes, mass graves and whatever else it is that you focus your attention on is not the way to defeat their narrative, what you should be doing instead is bringing the full picture to light

Why do you even think that learning the jewish lies and responding to them is the correct way to fight the narrative? How do you come to the conclusion that the way to fight a liar is through addressing individual lies instead of constructing the true picture?

That army was made for vampire trash and orc horde clearing hence the bad match up against Chaos but I wanted to see if it could be done. Came down to a handful of gunners, 1 canon, 1 mortar, and a mostly dead Gelt on a pegasus.

Most butt-clenching fun I've had.

>>166757553
You get Swordsmen for one and ignore the shitters in here telling you to get Spearmen. There is absolutely no need for that at all.
You then get crossbowmen, only slightly less than you have swords until Chaos shows up. Cut the number of your crossbows in half and replace them with gunners.

If Chaos actually builds heavy on the infantry, ditch all crossbows in favour of gunners.

You don't need memegriffs, they're expensive, take a long time to build and you need additional infrastructure. Get 3 Reiksguard in every army instead.

Grab a cannon, the rocket battery and if you want a hellblaster. If you capture Marienburg early and the orc settlement is still around, place a commander in there to chain sack them, level him up in the blue line only, grab the recruitment bonuses. Once he has the last skill int he blue line, park him in Altdorf. Level a Captain in the same manner, giving him only the blue stuff for better recruitment.

The lord you put in Altdorf gets the office to boost recruitment aswell. You now recruit cheap rank 9 units and you shit out armies like there's no tomorrow.

In early game they are really good but once everyone is rocking chaos-grade armor on everything there goes 80% of the games roster.

While savage orcs are bad against dorfs,as the should be, they are great techs against Brets and Empire for hacking through peasants and state troops. Much like how forsaken are used.

However, by turn 80 nothing without AP will matter.

Have an army panel where you get a half naked dude. Dress him up in the gear you want him to have which gives him certain benefits or negatives, (heavy armor = less speed etc.). Customize the size of his unit however you want, whether it's 30 or 100 soldiers. Give the unit a specialty in stats or even a special formation they excel at. Give him and his unit horses or make them infantry.

The unit's description and purpose would change as you saw fit. Would be cool as fuck.

grab cannons and shoot the literal crap out of the enemy lord.

also spearmen are crap once you have more specialized halberdiers who actually can take on armored cav.

also get a decent squad of steam tanks if you have the money.

If you are playing on Legendary avoid the hell out of marienburg because every time you capture that piece of crap you attrack all the norscan tribes. that stupid harbor isn't worth 4-5 norscan stacks.

I for one used mercenaries, usually dominated the Huns by numbers and auto resolved since I would fail to win an actual battle.
My recommendation: fight them with an army that has a strong missile backbone. Idk.
>>
>>166769143
>Saxon
heroic cavalry can beat any melee cavalry, you can try using slingers to slow the enemy devils down enough for your heroic cav to catch up to them, but its not really viable, so you need an army of nordic spearmasters, a few of that top tier melee unit the name of which I forgot to beat chosen uars, and some heroic cav to finish the rest off, tanking arrows is pretty much your only choice, because your slingers are too low on ammo, you can try recruiting mercenaries or subjugating someone wiht decent archers though

Before Attila shows up in 420 or something they're not quite as scary as they become. You might be able to fend them off with normal archers using flaming arrows and spearmen / horsemen since iirc your horses get an attack bonus against cav.
Otherwise pretty much just get up and run, sack Roman cities for cash if you need to.
>>
>>166771643

I meant any hun cavalry of course

you must be terrible at the game, huns are actually surprisingly weak in attila, their melee and shock cavalry units are amongst the weakest, so really its only their chosen uar infantry that you have to worry about and the devil archers, I play Attila mostly on legendary and believe me most factions can easily fuck huns up, and I am not even a particularly good player given that I get fucked up in MP

>>166772675
most stacks only have 2-3 chosen uars and as long as you focus them down or meet them with your own top tier infantry you should be able to deal with them before they do to much damage, with devil archers the method depends on your faction - if you are roman than just use your immense arrow block chance and simply tank them, if you are a germanic barbar use super long range archers to easily annihilate them, if you are burgundian use shotgun slingers to kill them off, if you are an alan you can either use light cav or your own horse archers to fight them, if you are an eastern faction and still for some reason fighting huns you can wipe them out easily, with kurdish/royal persian archers or armenian slingers, or with your vastly superior cavalry/camels, vikangz are the only ones that can have real problems with them due to having no mid/high tier archers/slingers and no light cavalry

nokkors are shit, the skrii spearmen are meh, first wave lancers are average, so at least half of every hun stack ranges from shit to average

>>166772691
>You ever fought a single hunnic stack that has large onagers?
yes, because THEY ALL have them once Attila comes of age, and you can just spend a single light cav throw away unit to take them out, something like scout equites for a roman faction of germanic raiders for, well, germans

DEI battles will never be hard as long as you and the ai have comparable forces, the ai simply doesn't understand how crucial cavalry/hammer and anvil is in dei.

If you can just design your own units it would throw a lot of the point of emulating historical nations out of the window. But for a custom nation, that could be pretty interesting, if there was also a way to stop people from just making unit rosters that excel in every area.

I wonder Archaon ever gets mad at his third eye showing him the future in which he gets skullfucked by Franz and the Royal Altdorf Gryphites?

Sitting in the middle of an enormous melee blob. He doesn't kill stuff, he just chills out and buffs your guys whilst tanking hits and spreading his aura.

>>166783323

spec him for replenishment and watch the army that just had the sauerkraut beat out of it heal up in 1-2 turns.

I hate the chariots so much. You can only hope that they won't entirely fuck your shit up.

I think he might have moved that to Magritta on accident because I had a VH empire campaign and I built it there.

Let me tell you guys the story of Marius Leitdorf

>Be elector count of averland
>generally keep to self, don't do anything
>notice some 3 eyed cunt is gunning for altdorf to kick-start the apocalypse
>also notice that a bunch of walking, talking trees have populated the mountains to the west of you
>these trees also want to raze altdorf
>offer to pay tribute to the emperor in exchange ofr a small payment
>use this small payment to purchase your own private convoy of luminarks
>go around estalia and the border princes burning down elf outposts with said luminarks like a a child with a magnifying glass lighting anthills on fire

and now assuming that archaon's stack is the last chaos horde left, marius "the indestructable" leitdorf may be responsible for saving the entire world with his luminarks
>>
>>166788898

>>166788898

>Brettonia is safe
