If you've been living under a rock these past few months, Shortbrindal is free now.

We have battle map creating tools now. Only land battles and only for custom/custom mp games. Siege battles may be a possibility in the future but they're practically covering their ears and screeching at any mention of using modded maps to improve the campaign.
UPDATE: PEOPLE FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT ANYWAY AND OUT OF DAMAGE CONTROL CA WILL BE ADDING OFFICIAL SUPPORT FOR ADDING CUSTOM MAPS TO THE CAMPAIGN ALONGSIDE THE BRETONNIA UPDATE

BRETONNIA IS 28TH OF FEBUARY.

Tehenhauin is easily the most important lord after Mazdamundi and Kroq-Gar, and Krog-Gar's importance is inflated by shipping big models.
Even Kroak is probably less important to the race as they exist now as a whole than Tehenhauin.

Tehenhauin is particularly important in the context of facing off against the Skaven, and as we probably won't be getting Daemons with the next release, the Skaven conflict will be their only main interaction with the world.

>>168268751
>they are doing them yearly now, right?
Wrong, only circumstantially implied with the next Warhammer release. Which we aren't even sure will be this year.
But we do know it will be the next Total War "game". And we won't be getting any news for it until they've finished the DLC cycle of the first release.

He'd been dead for about 500 years at that point. Also it's his war face. When he's pretending to look human, his hair is jet black and is quite handsome. Think Dracula in Van Helsing.

It was implied he was Vashanesh. And his whole rationale for why he thinks he is owed an Electorship is that he aided Sigmar I think.

As much as I love Valkia, I'm on for waiting on chaos getting a good implementation before she comes around. Honestly, look what the did to Sigvald and most chaos characters in general.

I'd rather the girls of war get in on their own merit rather than shoe-horned in for being a lady. Ariel, the Fay, Valkia, Morathi, etc. They will come anon. Keep in mind so many factions do not have females (greens), females are rare thus not used in combat (dwarfs and beastmen) or their females are literal breeding pits (skaven). Maybe even Rapanse de Lyonnese (Joan of Arc, in Frantacey)

We're all wrong sometimes.

Seriously sick of this waifu shit here. I understand the concept and I'm all down for it in other franchises, I just see zero gratification to be gained in a TW game. CK2 or something maybe, but not TW. Much less not a TW game with as little campaign depth as Warhammer has. And the fact of the matter is that very few female characters are pertinent to combat in the setting. They kinda dropped the ball on not having the Sisters of Twilight, but they were probably too lazy to code that or some shit.
Outside of Khalida and Morathi the rest are too shite to warrant a lord spot.

Technically the Elector Count of Wissenland is supposed to Emmanuelle von Liebwitz since Eben is dead. But it's most likely because CA didn't want a make a unique model for someone who isn't even a LL. Same deal with why there is no Tsarina Katarin.

>>168274096
Neferata had no rules for editions though. I could see Isabella showing up eventually. But she's Vlad's girl, so waifufags can fuck off.

Vampire lords and vampires definitely should have both male and female models.

Maybe it'll happen in a patch since elves have it.

Yes she is, reluctantly. But outside of being a terrible administrator and cares only for Nuln, she has no military application and faction leaders are generals which she cannot be.

Before ET shit everybody was playing custom female VC lords since they shat all over Manny and other named heroes.

There is also that Forgeworld human mage on a dragon who got super popular.
>>
>>168276521
Vampire lords are vampire lords, regardless of whether their minis had tits or not, or whether they were blenders or not.

something something von drak is only popular because empire doesn't have that many big monstrous models and for the waifushit I've already stated I can't empathize with in the setting.

This is probably a dumb question but is there any point to generic lords in the campaign?
In most cases by the time I'm even ready to really commit to building another army I've got at least one other LL available. I rarely use generics until I'm shitting out armies in late game
I do love me some Runelords though
>>
>>168278263
alright, its at 20%, taking a bit longer than i thought.

Just know that I'm using a shit mic, and I say um a lot and breath and pop into the microphone occasionally. I want to get better at this.
>>
>>168279376
Depends on the faction. As the vamps, you'll be popping up random armies only to later disband them all the time.
>>
>>168279376
Obviously no army has enough LLs to last through a whole campaign(except maybe WoC and VC).

Glade Lords do neat stuff that neither Welf LL can do.
Runelords are obviously obscenely broken.
Orc Warbosses can be Azhag but not as shit.
Chaos Lords can get flying mounts while the LLs can not.
Anything is unfortunately better than based Gelt and you're going to have more than two armies as Empire.
>>
>>168279376
depends. if you don't have that other LL unlocked, or at all depending on faction. or unique build options (rune lord dwarf lord for example) In some cases like wood elves or empire you can recruit and disband immediately just so you can assign said lord to a government post. Which for some abilities will allow them to proc even without the general leading the army. lastly if you don't save scum they allow you to recruit armies if your main one gets destroyed.

Is it bad to get pushed back by Chaos?

Bretonnia.

There's two groups of faction mods by Cataph. One makes unique campaigns for Estalia, Tilea and the Border princes (another adds in regiments of renown for them too)

There's also a dwarf mod for Karak Norn by him which are dwarves next to the chaos warriors and with different units.

both are neat and well done. if that's what you're looking for.

>>168283186
Ah that's right. sorry last campaign was skarsnik and for some reason i must have remembered their name.
>>
alright first time playing total warhammer

I'm playing as the greenskiins

There's one small beastman stack sieging one shitty dwarf city I was about to take for myself. How strong are the beastmen? They only have one shitty stack which doesn't even have a lord and the game says they are the number 2 faction. I'm the number one faction and I wanted to get rid of those fucking dwarfs but the beastmen are in the way.

Can I beat them with Grimgor, one basic stack of ork boyz, ork archerz and some other basic shit?
>>
>>168284008
depends on what they have

ungors. then yeah sure go at them. but like 10 cygors? nope.

it'd help if you had a screen shot or more information.

That being said. Grimgor could probably do it.
>>
>>168284008
The faction ranking don't hold too much value.
It's a fairly arbitrary equation.
All stacks have to have a lord, if you lose one it is immediately replaced.
You just probably can't see it.
If you are worried, move an agent closer to them, they somewhat act as scouts.

How early in the game is it?
Factions kinda gear up at similar rates, so if you're fighting stuntie miners and rangers and other trash then the beastmen will just have gors and dogs and other worthless stuff.
But if the Stunties are pretty damn advanced then the beastmen could have like ten minotaurs.
>>
>>168284125
>>168284431
I can't take a screenshot, it's a MP game.

It's early in the game (Turn 24). Their stack isn't full, they have like 12 units and it's really mixed. They don't even have a commander and they've been sieging the dwarfs for like 5 turns.

Next time I play I'm going to declare war on them because they are corrupting my land, it's currently at 14% and I don't even know if you can make it go down.
>>
>>168284620
yeah you're fine then.

Do it. their corruption is bad. and if they take out the dwarf city you can't raid that land or sack the settlement yourself.
>>
>>168284620
although at that turn time you might also want to think about upgrading your basic units in your main stack. You can slowly regroup or delete one or two units and replace them as you go. but you don't want to get caught with a basic army too late unless your lord is built for that.

>>168284620
There will be a building that reduces corruption, and some agents will skill to remove corruption.
Just 12 units shouldn't in any way threaten a full stack.

And yes, they have a commander. Every army must have a commander unless it is a garrison.

Yeah I'm trying to upgrade my buildings so I can make better melee ork units. I want to get the black orks as soon as possible, I got one at the start of the game for free and those guys are insanely strong.

I also need to get boss tents because I'm dealing with rebellions all the fucking time. I think I fucked up, I'm only occupying and looting. I should've sacked and razed more settlements.

>>168284909
They might even have less than 12 units. I didn't see a commander, I looked at the first unit and I could swear it had more than one guy in it.
>>

>>168285697
Yeah, just means you haven't seen their lord so they can't place him infront of everything else.

Still dear god no.

yes. Great swords at this point in time are great. and outriders aren't bad. you just have to use them at the right time.

For the dwarf runesmiths, those runes that they can take as skills, do they apply to the entire army? If so, that seems kind of OP.

I thought as much but some of them just say like "+6 melee defense", unless I'm missing something completely that's all it indicates.
>>
>>168288810
if it doesn't say anything, then it means its only for the specific unit. and 6 melee defense is how well a unit does at sticking around. and so +6, is similar to plus 6% but it can be a difference maker. large army wide 6% would be pretty significant. Are you picking skills or using abilities?
>>
>>168288423

I think he's referring to the skills that add runes that go in the follower slots. And I'm pretty sure they just apply to the runesmith.

>>168289602
then its a personal warlord skill so it only affects the lord. depends though some are skills that affect allies nearby. but most yellow are more for combat duelist style lords meant to get into the thick of the fighting. (either on a mount or with the infantry) and fighting other lords.

Red are troop and army buffs. good at making weaker troops hit hard or hard troops hit harder. and leadership buffs.

Lastly the blue are campaign skills that affect attrition recruitment upkeep and replenishment rates. but most importantly movement and lightning strike abilities.

try doing something different.

If you fail it you fail it. Try again next turn. if its absolutely necessary try do do another action first perhaps with another agent. and then come back. But to be honest. the campaign becomes a lot better if you take some loses and don't save scum. Try your hardest not to.

I kind of miss the randomness a bit. On the tabletop, crazy god damn shit would happen, the weakest could slay the strongest, the wizard could blow himself up, and every roll of the die could change the game.

Not so much in the Total War version. It's for the best, I know, but I miss the wacky shit that could happen on the tabletop.

You need to give mounted yeomen, regular hand guns (dwarf hand guns and call them musketoons or something). No move and fire, and only forward firing arc.
>>
>>168299524
I tried doing that. Turns out dwarf handguns are rigged to dwarf models so you will have some clipping.
>>
>>168299412
what is this
>>
>>168299637
ah well regular hand guns would be fine. they'd still be different from outriders since outriders have the reapeating handguns.

thinking of a case where an individual volley might be more powerful, but the rate of fire is less. and dps less. it allows for a more shoot and scoot sort of attack.

I always liked the idea of a middle class peasant rebellion. Really french revolution but arthurian bretonnian style.

And a growing middle class based on new guilds. gunpowder, faceless units and more elite infantry along with the same bretonnian core.

vs a bretonnian army based more on faith and more similar to a traditionalist force backed with more magic and defense. Perhaps only having access to certain higher level prophetess or grail knight forces.

Wild riders are charge bonus the unit. SO its kinda of their deal they hit like trucks. also its best to be standing still. thats the only time they'll get their charge defense bonus.

>>
>>168300814
If you want to stop a charge you need to use thick formations. If you have them less than 8 ranks deep they'll blow right through like it's nothing. The more guys they bump into on the charge the faster they get slowed down basically.

Also you'll want hard hitting ranged units like handgunners as once they're caught in a formation they'll be tall enough for your hand gunners to shoot over head and hit them.

Other wise yeah, at the moment Elves are kind of broken as fuck due to a bunch of issues. Next patch should fix this but untill then you might want to try-

that map is actually a terrible map.

And all the more historical youtubers who don't really like total war warhammer were gushing over it. but it wasn't really all that impressive.

there's a dozen other better maps.

Your right though. the better maps have a lot more little window dressing that helps to make them feel more alive. There's a couple that would be close. and a few others that are beyond redemption.

that said one of my favorite new custom maps is just a tiny little empire hamlet. but the hamlet itself is just a buch of really tight twisting alleys, while there's a wide open field and a forested ridge line across from the hamlet.

Just a nice little town map with a way to defend in the town if you can occupy it.

really neat maps.

550ish zombies/skellies against 200 zombies and a wizard hero

The 200 zombies did about 50% health damage on the enemy hero; then the wizard hero finished him off while the home army died blocking the enemy; then the wizard hero solo'd about 300 zombies/skellies

Invocation of Nehek really shouldn't be the starting spell; that shit wins more battles than any other spell available to vampires

>>168304797
Some good ones that you can download and look at are
Nachtdorf - small village map,
Karak Quests,
Nexxes kraka ravnsvake, the inner hold
siege of talabheim


There are other shit maps, but so far these are ones that i've checked and liked. and some of the shit maps i've seen have potential.

the middenheim one looks kind of interesting. they made a really cool central palace, but unfortunately the rest of the city is kind of dry missing dressing and their middenheim isn't exactly as described. but it still has some nice features. just needs more work. could be a good map.
I saw another one that was a tiered city that was awful. over sized object bland hueg walls, and ridiculous ramps at every choke point. it was pretty bad.

I'm downloading new maps all the time. but I really want to play some games in them to see how they work. a lot of the maps seem to be made for larger games and with maps like these multiplayer is the way to go.
>>
>>168305072
no
>>
>>168304967
It looks great but from a gameplay perspective a lot of the maps are terribly boring.

The Averheim map is amazing for large-scale multiplayer battles but I can't imagine it for singleplayer. It seems like it would very quickly turn into a 30 minute merry-go-around.

Artois beats Bretonia 9/10 times.

Marineburg is easy to defend.

Breaking treaties is absolutley retarded 99% of the time, once you lose your rating every treaty you have is going to fall apart and factions are 500% more likley to declare war on you. You should have a 2nd army being built up right now, leave it at eihart while your LL go fucks up the northern empire.

What? We have Bretonnia out in 2 weeks today.

What the fuck I can't recruit any Lord. I can only select Gelt but I don't have the building yet, no other options available. I only have one stack.
>>
>>168311574
Estimate based on:
Typical TW vanilla game-to-expansion release window.
CA stating that Wood Elves were the last big DLC before the expansion.
>>
>>168311412
Take marineburg,
I buy 3 units pretty much every turn early on.
2nd stack dosen't really need to be full since it's going to be supplemented by a garrison.13-15 should be good.

1st stack dosen't need to be full eithier. Reiksguard are worth 6 of any other unit in the early game same for Blazeing sunns I usually roll with 18.

Only buy Spearmen, they're cheaper serve their purpose just as well as swords. Freecompany are good too, but you want atleast 3 crossbows for sieges.

With this i have roughly 800 income and I don't build tailors in reikland until i've built farms on every province.

You can beg other factions for spare cash too, though that's tedious

Just subscribed to the monthly humble bundle so I have Warhammer now. Even if I don't like it I can't complain about a 12 dollar game. Are they going to do that shit they did with Rome 2 where everything is a fucking DLC. It was bad in Shogun 2 but Rome was just laughably awful with this.
>>
>>168311574
Not him but...
Based off the the already multiple extended Free DLC schedule and the fact the expansion has been in development for about 10 months now. An 18-20 month expansion development seems likely.

I think we'll see a teaser for it in May celebrating the base game release followed by confirmation around July with a tentative release date of Q4 2017 but Q1 2018 at the latest. We'll get marketing and faction/region/mechanic reveals to hype us up.
Remember the Fantasy team is working on Expansion 1 and they've confirmed already the expansions will now be bigger than planned due to the base games success and we are getting 4 races instead of 3 and the campaign map will be comparable in size to the base game and interlocks with the first game to make a very large map.

It's going to be New World and Helfs,Delfs,Skaven and Lizards.

Bretonnia is gonna have 3 Legendary Lords (two part of the Bretonnia faction and 1 with a sub-faction).

Isabella probably doesn't count for the "New Lord" listed on their free DLC chart, so we'll be getting another VC LL, probably part of a sub-faction (obvious signs point to Mousillion and Red Duke).

There is also the "Old Friend" which is a confirmed LL and who will probably be Boris Toddbringer so that the Empire also has a sub-faction.

That's one of the worst things about Age of Smegmar. We literally only really know in detail about the Old World, and even then places like Kislev and Southern Kingdoms could've been expanded upon. The rest of the fucking world is barely known to us, they could easily add new stuff to Lustria and Naggaroth without retconing much, Not-africa can be expanded upon much more than "it's a desert with skelingtons and some jungles i dunno". Whole northern Africa is almost as large as the new world, but has like 2 sentences of lore. Just imagine what crazy shit could live there. And i'm not even talking about Ind, Cathay and Nippon. Sure, you can say that they are too similar to their real world counterparts, but i'm sure (Old) GW designers and artists could've given them new awesome design and identity. Alas, we will never see that.

what about that pseudo gatling?
>>
>>168323985
I rarely see the gatling used I think it has shit range or something.
>>
>>168323985
You just have to use the artillery for its designated purpose. Use rockets against blobs, cannons against large targets (giants, spiders etc.) or to snipe lords/heroes.

The Hellblaster is very good against heavily armored targets but not easy to setup because of its firing arc.
>>
>>168323985
You're mostly looking at great cannons and steam tanks. The rockets are shit against armored units, and the Gatling gun is gimped by its low range. You can mess around with the latter two if you want, but they are ineffective imo.
>>
>>168323985
All their artillery is good.

Cannon destroy cav and good at targeting high armor low model units

Firegun is amazing at killing low armor units e.g beastmeme and wood elves

Morter does low damage but is cheap and can be used when units engage in melee

Luminark almost one shots single models and is a great lord sniper

Volleygun is good at dealing with high armor larger units like chosen.

"Ok. To sum things up in what I'd call the official official response - what we release the first time around won't have anything or much changed from Rome II besides offices. The basic mechanic of the faction leader for Rome will be that of an Emperor, though right now it has been renamed to patriarch (head of your family). There have been various things discussed internally, though there's nothing concrete at the moment.

We definitely hope to do some things with politics via the DB and scripting in the future. At the forefront of all that would be a sensible transition in the GC between a Republic and Empire for Rome (though I'd imagine/hope it could be something we could use for other factions, as well). I don't want to go promising things that we aren't sure on ourselves.

And I don't post much, but I did just want to ensure people the mod is still very much active. Our team coordinates just about daily online and several of us mod daily. "

>>
>>168326615

>>
>>168325509
They'll Include Errant knights, they are a vital part of Bretonnia's forces lore wise. That and they would be a nice tier 1 unit.

Those aren't all-new never before seen though, I'm specifically talking about how CA was saying "Oh yeah the Bretonnia roster is kind of small due to never being updated so we're working with GW using their 8th edition Bretonnia notes that never got released to flesh out their roster"

So far only the Hippogryph Knights fit the bill of a totally new Bretonnian unit

Honestly if they're releasing someone like Alberic they should make a unit of "Elder Knights"- wizened old knights who for whatever reason never got to go on their Grail Quest.

Maybe they could have even (though obviously they didn't do this) had "Orc Slayer Knights" and "Undead Slayer Knights"- specialized units of knights that get bonuses against specific factions. And this isn't even talking about the whole "dismounted knights" kind of thing.
>>
>>168327463
Still holding out for Virtue of Compassion Knights who would provide heavy infantry.
>>
>>168327606
I rather kinda want a dismounting feature for Errant knights. So you would have a very fast and flexible knight unit, but with less armor than most other heavy infantry.
>>
>>168326615
Playing doubles advocate here but adding new maps, units, factions etc. always requires rigorous balancing and testing, especially now with multiplayer being more popular. Modders don't have to worry about things like balance since their stuff is unofficial so they have an easier time.
>>
>>168327838
It's doubles avocado.
>>
>>168327739
Yes, but I think the best thing to do when making new units is to go back to the well of history that Warhammer was drawn from.
Basing the dismounted Knights on the Knights Hospitallers would work because they were known for funding and defending hospitals and fighting on foot since they were island based for much of their history and horses are not useful in sea battles.
Hence Virtue of Compassion or Empathy or whatever.

Well desu it isn't even very progressive. What he is advocating is matriarchy which is a very backwards form of society that mostly went extinct as humans progressed beyond simply hunter gatherers.

Technically she's the only pertinent female character that is available for the four base races.(Could give the Welves something but they're already DLC and I guess they don't like adding to those much.)
Waifubait von Draken being included would accept Forgeworld's legitimacy and set a very dangerous precedent(encouraging Chaos stuntie fans).

That's a fair point, but they should just wait for the other factions. There's no need to add another legendary lord to the VC, and it really seems like a decision which emerged solely from people saying "hey we need a new leader" rather than "we need a cool and fitting leader."

Wouldn't that actually be an interesting concept for a LL?
Make Emmanuelle not a single unit but rather a LL artillery. The model would be an intricate Empire cannon manned by gunners and next to it you'd have Emmanuelle on a horse with some courtiers and scholars. Maybe have a servant hold a parasol over her head while another one pours her glasses of whine from time to time. Basically she treats the battle as a sort of picnic while the gunners fire at the enemy for her amusement.
Ability wise you could skill her cannon or maybe even upgrade it to a different one among other things.

It's not necessarily /r9k/. It's just that the argument is usually a Trojan horse for /r9k/ permavirgins. It sucks too, because you can make a pretty legitimate case against implementing Isabella as a LL, but you'll be immediately labeled as a misogynist.

>>168336093
It's trash content. Vampires don't need another LL unless there's also a new starting location involved.
>>
>>168335502
>Though now that I think about it, that's a huge waste of Vlad's vanguard deployment for army.

You can actually do some neat stuff with that if you are short on funds. Basically you give Vlad just some really elite units and hide them on the battlefield with vanguard deployment while Isabella arrives with the big infantry army or something. Probably not that effective, but whatever.


You could also use the vanguard to deploy closer to the reinforcing Isabella's army

If Isabella was a man CA would have done the work, implemented Legendary Heroes and made it possible to use the character together with Vlad in one army

Vampries do not need another LL

this is bullshit
>>
>>168335675
Yes I'm of the same opinion. But whatever.
Isabella probably won't affect my games much and I doubt I'll use her as a lord.
I usually go for a more Punished Vlad feeling in Total War anyway.

If they are going to add a new Empire LL then they need to do something like this(or Markus Wulfhart) OR a LL tied to another starting position aka province.

Kurt Helborg and so on isn't unique enough.

>>168336715

It's pretty stupid and I am offended that Grace decides this is about women's rights instead of gameplay (and maybe lore)

Why does it matter if Isabella is a LL and not a hero? No one seemed to care that Grombrindal was a LL and not a hero. There's plenty of departures from lore but nothing triggers the stunted autists on 4chan like a woman doing a thing they don't like.

>muh lore

Imagine being that pathetic you selectively get outraged at lore infractions because you're a misogynists who posts on an echo chamber filled with other misogynists.

Is a thing invented by speculationfags and never a system promised or even talked about by CA.

>>
>>168336793
Because there's a pretty well justified perception that Vlad and Isabella are supposed to go together. Vlad's already a general, so Isabella can either be a hero or a legendary hero to fit in with that perception.
Calling your opponents misogynists just alienates people instead of leading to a treasonable discussion btw.
>>
>>168336975
Good for sniping Legendary Lords such as Isabella van Carstein

Don't worry she will be the only one on the battlefield since she can't fight in one army with Vlad
>>
>>168336793
>Why does it matter if Isabella is a LL and not a hero?
1- VC already have more LL than any other faction, and now they're adding another one. Dwarves, on the other hand were one of the factions with the least LL.
2- Everyone who was interested in Isabella wanted to use her in tandem with Vlad.
>>
>>168336975
it's more than enough to snipe high value targets

Luminarks are decent
>>
>>168336793
The thing is that nobody seems to care about stunties.

Isabella fits the Legendary Heroes concept but most of the advocacy for such a system stems from other incoming content(Green Knight).

>>168337021
He got left behind by other channels that are much better than his.
>>
>>168336857
Yes he is a new Empire LL I approve of. The only problem is that his starting position is so close to Reikland. Just a small problem anyway.

What a convenient lie, plenty of people spoke up about this. Same thing for Gotrek and Felix, Krell etc etc.

Only reason this makes more "noise" is because of white knight like you desperately trying to defend the decision because its a female involved. Get that through your tiny brain you pathetic permavirgin.

..or you can give Vlad the tarpit units (with a few cav to vanguard on the flanks so it's not a complete waste of a sweet ability) since he constantly heals them and then arrive with Isabella's elite army. Vlad also doesn't have mounts, it takes him forever to get into the fight.

All of it doesn't actually matter though. I'm a vampfag and I happily admit that VC don't need more LL's. Having Isabella is really nice but a waste as LL.

That's not true, i complained about Grombrindal being a LL. By the looks of it same fate awaits Green Knight, just because CA are a bunch of lazy fucks and cut corners wherever is possible.

The thing is, they actually SHOWED in the video that Vlad and Isabella are meant to be together. It could be a great mechanic if she was a LH. Nothing to do with gender.
