Blood Bowl is so based, back when GW was fun. Simple but open rules, requires few models, and just a ton of fun to play.

I've caught a Let's Play of it. It seems pretty close to its origins, but they are dated a bit and there isn't much ability to replay.

Belegar's is the best one by far.

>>167767238
They can.
It is just that they don't want to do more work, and the baseline requirement is to have functional singleplayer over cool maps.
The main letdown is the AI team.
The maps can only be as advanced as the AI can handle.

>>167767405
But these maps should be part of the singleplayer experience, at least for key locations.

Still pretty new guy here.
I get that this makes all enemies around the character in a 45 meter range have -20% damage resistance, but what type of damage is it? Just regular bashy physical damage, or does this make everything around him take 20% more damage from everything? The later seems really fucking strong. Especially since this is on Grimgor, who already hits hard.

Blood Bowl games arent that bad imo, except they are exactly what it says on the tin- a carbon copy of tabletop.
On the other hand this also means inherrent flaws with races and power scaling when you count points that favor "bashing" teams over agile ones.

Lizardmen are such bullshit.

>>167767649

It only increases damage against enemies that actually have a Ward Save stat to reduce, as far as I know.

>>167767649
I don't think it makes units take more damage. rather, it just reduces any damage resistance they might have in the first place.

Also, ward resistance is universal damage resistance (both physical and magical).

>>167767857
Oooh, that would make sense. I did notice it was the same icon for ward save, but I thought "well, since ward reduces damage from everything, maybe this makes them take 20% more damage from everything?"

That's why I was confused. Thanks anon. Still doesn't seem awful against commanders. Would make Grimgor better 1v1

Why does Vampire Counts play more zergy than the zerg of Warhammer - Orc? At least the Orcs have range units.

>>167764704

>>167766293
I like it. The game is fairly brutal early on since its hard to disengage from melee and picking up warpstone, one of them main currencies, on the battlefield can give your dudes random buffs or debuffs. I play witch hunters and undead and find both of them fun. Fuck the great library though as demons are bullshit.

Same as any other, get close and stomp them.
Or use Fell Bats and such to flank them.

One of the issues with Warhammer into Total War transfer is that your point limit is thrown out of the window and half the races were designed around quantity over quality units.

BRETONNIA WHEN

>>167769370
>designed around quantity over quality units.
Yeah, playing orcs is a lot less satisfying when you can't drown your enemies properly. I'm willing to take more losses than the enemy provided my boys are easier to replace, I get to field more of them than my enemies, and they krump 'em but good.

>>167768803
yes, they are.
Shouldn't ever be using zombies if you can afford to, they're so much slower than everything else and you should be advancing as quickly as possible.

>>167767618

Newb here. I've seen a few maps like this.

What's preventing the enemy army from just circling you with cavalry, scaling the hills,and riding down with cavalry from the sides? You'll get flanked either way.

Do you follow the cavalry up the hill before they can descend? Put spears on the sides and hope? What would you do?

>>167774176
Are there a lot of new people here because its been the same ideas and same failings for years. In every RadiousTW mod the unit rosters are bloated to all hell and reliably crushes any semblance of faction diversity. The second thing is it makes armies to cheap, effectively managing your resources to produce effective armies is completely not necessary.

Good mod for casuals and shitters but once you get decent at the game you will be really bored.

And, our first plague on the next turn. These will be a mainstay.

The chariot mounts the breastmen get seem pretty good actually, at least for one eye. The only problem is you have to rely on your ungors to kill cavalry and all those flying monsters and shit.
The throwing axe centigors seem like they might help with that in theory, but I've had no luck.

So how are you supposed to deal with flying units as the breastmen, spirit leach? Wait for them to land and then attack with Minos?

Chariot mounts are decent but there is a reason no one used them in MP even when Morghur wasn't the absolute lord requirement. While it does making mowing light infantry quicker its something you can do on foot anyway just not as fast. Then you run into the chariot problem of cav and missiles shitting down your throat. Beastmen are also really reliant on have leaders around to keep them in the fight so having your lord running all over the place just isn't the best thing to do. With so many fast attack options I leave backline work to others and keep Beastlords in the front.

To deal with flyers, keeping 2 units of ungor raiders is a decent check against that type of thing. But you are also the beastmen so you should dictate what your opponent is doing more than reacting to what he's doing. Same for SP be aggressive and be fast.

Here is pretty decent, but that doesn't mean you don't have your share of absolute fucktard shitposters.
However the main difference is that they're ignored here, whereas they're encouraged in /tesg/.

/tesg/ can help you out sometimes, they're alright in that front.
The endless waifushit is the problem with them.

The quality of generals typically follows the franchise they're attached to. Total War games have been improving while /vg/ has existed. R2's the only exception. Warhammer is arguably worse than Attila but it's still a good conversation piece

/tes/ has been devolving further and further into the dirt.
Anyone who actually cares about the lore has discussed it to death and back in threads on /v/ or /tg/.
And the active steam group and cosmetic modding circlejerk have perpetuated the waifutrash.
Their franchise is dead and "waifus" only serve as life support.

General communities in general are an interesting topic.
They certainly deviate in quality a lot.
the two assfaggots generals are actually decent because the volume of people actually playing and talking about the game is large enough to excise any cancer like waifuposting before it becomes too malignant.
That said, the starcraft general was absolutely absymal, though following the logic above, that could well be from lack of population.

/domg/ is quite good and very on topic

/gsg/ is generally garbage, an unfortunate victim of steam group drama and in its final state ends up being a worse place to discuss the games than reddit or even paradoxsafespace itself.

Honestly, the healthiest attitude you can take towards /vg/ is to visit only every now and then. I've been here since /vg/ was a thing, but I'm recently back following the welves release after a long break since the base game's release. And before that I haven't been here in like a year.

>shitty games for a long time

That isn't true. It went to shit because at first Paradox was "generous" at releasing a lot of good DLC. However increasing shitposting piratefags from /v/ would come over and kick up shitfits about how they were justified in pirating because there was so much DLC whereas before people were encouraged to buy the game instad of pirating. But then paradox kept making more DLC and it became lower in quality and often didn't add anything good to the game. Largely this justified many of the things the pirates were saying. The cosmetic packs for CK2 were originally there as a "this way you can buy them separate and not have to pay extra". But as time passed paradox kept or increased the prices of DLC while reducing content, making the claim that they were trying to save you money by breaking up the DLC dubious. Paradox then released Stellaris which was deliberately missing obvious features like a trading system, apparently not having learned from their community being increasingly pissed off at their jewry. The first stellaris DLC which added actual content and not cosmetics was pretty bare of content that people actually cared about and was mostly gimmicky, not actually fixing major lacking features.

The new stellaris DLC looks nice of course but they released the game back in may 2016 and it'll be something like march 2017 when this one finally gets released. Kind of gay.

>>167779917
I don't even understand how wargoals work in Stellaris.

How is ES 2 shaping up? I loved 1, bought it in EA and one of the only games I did buy in EA. Horatio was my favorite to play as. Cool as fuck theme.

Is it vastly different from 1 or Endless Legend? Didn't like EL much but I remember hearing that the tech tree in ES2 will be similar to EL so I was dissuaded from getting it.

>>167780214

>>167780367
Well it had a very rocky start like Stellaris did and community voiced the issues it had.

Then Amplitude started fixing them white implementing rest of core features and thats where we are now.

If it was 10, and the game costs 100 more than 10, the game price would be 110, meaning the total is 120.

Ez mate, you're just tricking yourself. The game is not 100, it's 100 more than the dlc. So if you say the dlc is 10, then that would mean the game has to be 110.
Combined with the 10 for the dlc you got it would be 120 in total.

Norscans are hilarious in all the wrong ways. As an order-player they are a damned nuisance, piling on your already long list of problems and being really damn unsatisfying to fight for retarded AI recruitment practices.

As a Chaos player the Noscan core units can't perform against order races spamming their most elite shit all over the place making greatswords a more common sight than swordsmen. So they are not a great ally to have.

Then awakening results in military alliances that eventually lead to your subjugates disobeying deciding now is the perfect time to expand one region over apparently. So all that hard work you did smacking the gitz about as WoC was fucking beyond worthless as you might have to fight your own damn tribes while trying to end the world in the great fuck-up that is the WoC campaign at this point.

Is this a trick question? I got confused into thinking it was 100 and 10 for a little bit, but then I thought about it and it's obviously 105 and 5.

Game costs $100 more than the DLC, which obviously means there is a $100 dollar difference between the price of the game and the DLC. That cannot be if it's 100 and 10, because there is only a $90 dollar difference.

Derp.

Talking about the different Generals is pretty interesting. This general is by far the most pleasant and dankest of generals, i do frequent Hwg when i am playing that, but fuck me that is a degenerate cesspool of the biggest proportions. Nothing but fucking Erp'ing and drama over their imaginary cliches.

They shouldn't have made Warriors of Chaos a mobile army with having to carry their building with them and instead have Archaon start where the Baerlingsons are and have shitty settlements that can go full daemonic Norse.

And thus the campaign would be subjugating all the tribes and using all those resources you have to go and burn the south.

"Hey guys excellent new today!
Our team for total lorehammer has found a way to add maps to the game for sieges only using the hex editor. It isn't in our current version but maps will slowly be rolled out as we get permission from authors and a tutorial is being written for the entire community.
Edit: ALSO IF YOU FEEL UP TO IT WE'D LOVE TO HAVE A UNIQUE MAP FOR EACH SETTLEMENT. Please try to keep it lore and AI friendly but we are welcoming all submissions, submissions should be sent to me with a link to the workshop and the settlement you think it should be and we shall thoroughly test AI!"

Empire is one of the best, though. Empire, Skarsnik, and Vampire Counts form the top tier of the campaign tier list. Empire has:

>a start right in the center of the action, can easily fight any other faction
>access to a shit ton of magic
>interesting and diverse heroes and lords
>unpredictable campaign, can be attacked by anyone at any time
>purges heresy

>>167799820
what we should note from this is "tutorial written for entire community"

Now I don't know about you guys but I do not use lorehammer. but I would want heaps of campaign maps. so hopefully they post the damn tutorial before C.A shuts it down so I can put heaps of these neat maps into the campaign

I play on medium, because my GPU is dated. But a side benefit is magic feels less useless. I'd probably keep it on normal even if I got a new graphics card. I like having somewhat powerful magic.

>Swordsmen are a shit tier unit
>people keep advising me to recruit them

literally why, they are only good if you flank with them, but that goes for every unit lol...

>>167805213
Swordsmen are good for two things: killing enemy infantry in the early game and soaking up enemy missiles. Greatswords outperform the swordsmen in both regards, so it is only fair to replace your swordsmen with greatswords as soon as possible.

>>167797043
This general is also the most work safe thing on this site. I never find myself regretting coming here

>>167805696
>full greatsword armies
disgusting, also you do not want GS soaking fire from missiles

>>167806052
>implying I'm suggesting that you should make an army entirely of greatswords
I'm saying that swordsmen are made obsolete (on a statistical level) by greatswords. However, if you're looking for a cheap fodder unit, then swordsmen could do the trick. I would also note that spearmen would be more economical in that regard.

>>167806424
Would be cool if they added that to the game.

Also, is there any other extra large units that could be added in?

>>167806364
>Making greatswords more common than swordsmen

There comes a point you are playing WoC with missile units.

>>167807421
I'd like to see your ideal late game composition then. Will I be seeing shieldless spearmen in lieu of halberdiers, or free company instead of handgunners?

not that guy but read it and weep

>>167807575
For my VH Empire run through 5 swords usually 3-5 halberds depending on who that army is designed for, sometimes replace a few with shield spears for ammo soaking but I had some fringe armies that used them fully. 3 GS for line-backing or picking a flank to win.

Never more than 1 demi (halberd obviously), usually reiksgiard, will thow in the odd outrider in certain anti-vamp armies that had a net.

Skirmishing varied. Vamps I did pike, net shot armies that had a lot. Had some armies that forgo them altogether. Hangunners are just as common as crossbows in lore so didn't matter, usually had at least 1 gunner to go big game hunting.

Throw in varied artillery for kicks unless going into really bad maps (WElfs).

I've done similar things with every faction on VH and pull it out.

>>167808167
So I assume you keep that composition for fun? There's nothing wrong with that, and it seems like a very interesting lineup. However, assuming money's not an issue, there's not much of a reason to use swordsmen over greatswords.

>>167808047
That looks pretty fun, although the cavalry seems a bit excessive.

>>167808530
Pretty much. But in the end you aren't even playing the empire or greenskins or whatever. With the end game the way it is you wind up playing some bastardization of WoC.

Empire --> Human WoC with smaller dragon ogres (demis) and missiles

Greens --> Green WoC with shittier cav and monsters

Dwarfs ---> deploy, press start, and masturbate

Beastmen --> faster WoC with slower dragon ogres (minos)

I couldn't finish a single campaign due to sheer boredom, auto-resolve simulator is boring but cntrl+g right click simulator was just as. Started restricting myself and the game plays totally differently. Sometimes have to auto-resolve an AI bullshit stack but hashing it out is a lot closer, bloodier, and keeps me thinking.

Mostly, I can tell what faction I'm playing at turn 200 aside from a color scheme.

>>167803185
Ultra because big battles are great (Now if only the game/magic scaled properly.)

And I don't know, if you have 160 or 120 guys standing behind your 120 yelling crap I'd be concerned.

So what's the army composition for vampires?

>>167809297
Yeah, that's pretty agreeable. I would hope that CA would enforce or support some diversity in army compositions, but there's something to be said for self-imposed challenges.

>>167809559
8 grave guard of whatever flavour, four fliers, four cav, the rest
maybe swap out some grave guard or cav for crypt horrors

> tfw you'll never be sliced to pieces with grace by a qt Wardancer

why even fight

>>167809710
8 grave guard is really excessive. 4 shields + 2 great weapons or 5 shields is enough, Crypt Horrors are awesome, have at least 2 (my suggestion is 3 or 4)

There's a few, Norsca's have war mammoths, Dwarfs have Air ships, there's a bunch of greater daemons and monsters.

Most of it was Forge World stuff before it got pulled though.

In the lore there's all sorts of references or art of overly sized war machines and monsters though but most of it doesn't go beyond one or two mentions. Also a lot of the unreleased factions have a lot of giant monsters though they're more Vargulf to dragon sized.

>>167809297
I do something similar. I have the one stack filled to the brim with elite units with Karl but then the rest of my armies I build around a core of three units each of swordsmen, spearmen and halberdiers. The game is a lot more fun when I put on my roleplaying hat and throw wave after wave of regular dudes into the elite and monstrious meatgrinder. It brings back a lot of fond Call of Warhammer memories.

I'm anxious about the quality of a Bretonnia campaign. With all of that coastline, I feel like the player will be extremely vulnerable to the Norscan hordes. That's not even considering tree Hitler and co. waiting next door.

>>167812908
Welves will be a major pain in the butt but I'm guessing after you burn their forest down you'll have a very easy time picking your enemies, being isolated and all.

>>167813058
I'm expecting that the Wood Elves will receive some sort of overhaul, because they're unacceptable in their current state.

>>167813058
Brets should get a special trait of being able to resettle Athel Loren provinces to just one structure, like an outpost. Like the Welves to all other locations, in reverse.
