How do I use Steam Tanks effectively

Do I target large things like Giants and/or Lords or do I make them shoot at blobs of infantry

I hope they will add them to Dawi and Empire, would be retarded if bunch of inbred peasants had them, but highly trained armies would not.

So the Fay Enchantress starts there. Which is...interesting. Why would she start there but more importantly why would she be at war with the Wood Elves?

They don't, just the cav units.

>knights of the realm have anti-large

>>168710092
Cannons are strictly anti-large. They should be firing at everything bigger than a horse, and then getting in to melee with enemy infantry once there are no other targets to fire upon.

>>168710715
Sounds like your cousin might be retarded. Especially if he plays Europa Universalis.

>>168711102
Doesn't mean she has to like her kind.

>>168710092
Shoot expensive cavalry / infantry, they have just 1 cannon (unlike the 2-4 you get from cannon units)

Use their Terror to break wavering enemies and use them as good chariots (they can also be healed with Lore of Life, which is broken as fuck)

Just stay away from anything with armor piercing

what are the most important dlcs on warhammer? I'm thinking about getting it for 12$ on humble bundle

I don't think they're pre-rendered, but if they are it's still only using in-game assets, which I don't blame them for even though CG movies are pretty nice.

>>168713751
but they're not using any graphical settings above shit, that makes little sense to me. surely if its live-generated, it aught to use the player's graphical settings, it looks wrong

The questing knights looked strong as fuck, 38 melee attack and 36 defense with 46 damage, of which most of it is likely to be AP
They're going to destroy shit like chaos knights and dwarfs much better than grail knights are, unless the antilarge that grail knights get is actually significant

Well I'd say their chances are pretty low. Maybe they can beat a beastmen warband but that would be stretching it already.

Now the more interesting question is: Would te Romans win if their own gods became reality in the Warhammer universe?

Depends what faction do you wanna play mostly / at first.
Dwarfs or Greenskins? The King and The Warlord.
Empire or Vampires? The Grim and The Grave.
Chaos Warriors? Chaos Warriors Race Pack.
Wood Elves? Realm of The Wood Elves.
Beastmen? Call of the Beastmen.

>>168716235

Because when my general was a lad these cunts tried to kill his whole family and as a man he's led his people through the dark times to emerge as the dominant power in the world and a big part of that story is him leading his men to the far corners of the world fighting epic battles and it's the only reason I play this 10 year old game and I don't get that when every fucking battle is against *chaff*.

Does Empire really has no fancy elite shield infantry?

Also how come Bretonnian greatswords have shields but lower stats overall and they dont use shields for shit?

I played and finished a short campaign with the vampires and I have to say chaos ruins the game. I cant stand how retarded it is. I hope they change it in the next expansion. them just showing up all OP is just plain annoying and its not fun.

>>168717090

Tw diplomacy is only shit when you play on hard campaign dificulty because the point of that setting is you against the world. If you weren't so hardcore and played a normal or easy campagin dificulty it's not that bad at all.

But then you get too much money and all your family turns into wasteful degenerates.

no I did own most of the north but because of chaos I just got fed up and once I beat them by massing units and quick battling and then having to run around catching that fuckhead I just didn't want to beat the rest of the world. It feels unfinished or something idk just really meh.

>>Green Knight with special mechanic

According to someone who went to the show he's a faction mechanic who shows up on occasion to help your faction. No info beyond that.

Is there a mod (for Warhammer) to make the AI stop playing so defensive and actually exit their cities for once? A mod that jumps amps aggressiveness?

>>168718928
Someone should apply elf ai to all factions.

>>168718928
Very hard difficulty?

>>168717094
well considering that the campaign maps managed to be moded in previous titles , i wouldnt be surprised some find out

>>168718759
VCs are built to CAUSE mass rout

>>168719051
Does that make them more aggressive? I thought it just gives you public order penalties

>From Reddit

Here is a list of all the things I remembered:

-3 starting locations: Leon in Brettonia, Alberic in Bordelaux, Fey Enchantress in Carcassone

-Each one seems to start with 2 regions each, a full province representing their territory. A nice change from the start with a single region we've had so far (Poor Empire suffers so much from it)

-Green Knight is a hero, but cannot be recruited. Instead he shows up randomly and stays with your faction for a few turns then is gone.

-2 main recruitment buildings in the 'red' slot for towns that are focused on unlocking knight troops. For peasants, most are recruited from the 'infrastructure' buildings

-Technology tree divided in 2 -> economy and knightly order, delving into one will bring penalties to your campaign related to the other. Invest into only one if you're ok with the penalties, or invest in each in a steady fashion, your call.

-Brettonia is known for having its forests and the nearby mountain infested with orcs, so they get events focused on that, such as a reduction in growth because off-screen orcs raided their lands

-All Brettonia faction are somewhat friendly with each other, so you don't have to go to to war with each other. Diplomacy is meant to be easy with each other and confederation comes later on once you've researched the technology for it.

-If you do go to war with Brettoni factions, the others will not like it one bit. Brettoni civil wars come with penalties, but you can do it anyway if you don't care about them

-New units that were not shown in the stream that I remember: Royal Hypogryph knights, Royal Pegasus knights (better version of regular pegasus knights), variant of Trebuchet that throws magic projectiles blessed by the Lady herself. There might have been more but they were either shown in the stream, or I forgot them

That's the thing. They're too cautious. If I have an Empire 20/20 stack and they do too sitting in their city, you expect them to meet in the field 50/50 right? Nope, they just continue sitting in their city as they force you to raid endlessly or siege vs their garrison

Friend says the Warhammer deserves the bad reviews, because it was unfinished at launch and the DLC is overpriced.

Is he right? I disagree that it was unfinished as it was advertised as 4 factions, and Bretonnia was never planned for original release.

>>168721932
if it makes CA actually do good dlc practices, then yeah it's deserved.

>>168721808
How the fuck is it a melee monster.
Realistically it would get stuck in corpses after a single charge.
>>168721932
Well its much more polished than Rome 2 was for comparison BUT DLC is truly truly Paradox tier pricey. Its aggravated because you gotta have DLC for using same units in MP.

Right, the thing just blew right through the orc boys and killed 8 while doing so. I then realized that you can kite with it since the turret can shoot backwards on the move, and the thing has a speed of 50. And since it's totally unimpeded by infantry, you can just charge again and again with no worries...

>>168722802
They still suffer from "damaged by artillery -10" and "under missile fire -5 (from the steam gun)" which is a rather redundant stack of LDR penalties if you ask me. What other unit can cause both of these and still excel in melee?

>>168723504
Chosen with Greatweapons. You don't need terror when everyone is fucking dead around you.

>>168721932
The DLC is pretty well priced, and the amount of free content you get alongside it should have alleviated the bitter feelings.

>>168721932
The game is simplified and the DLC is over priced (At least the faction packs are, personally I'm fine with the rest.)

But other wise It's been my favorite game of last year and probably this year to. I hate to say it but I think your friend is being a bit of a unfair dickhead.

Especially considering how the DLC has been handled. All the Free content and updates, the fact that even if you don't own a faction or DLC you can still fight against it as a NPC faction. Like the game still need work for sure but on it's own it's pretty good and slowly getting better with time.

>>168723619

>>168723923
Artillery doesn't give a fuck. Hell, it can fuck up a demi unit, and those guys are literally the best monster and cavalry unit in the game.

Recently finished my first very hard campaign, playing as Durthu. Pretty fun but i managed to win around turn 85 give or take. Got 25 amber from an alliance whit the dwarfs while protecting the empire from chaos.

But i run into an problem every single campaugn that i play, and that is constantly feeling like i should be expanding.

It made me wonder if i am just rushing things? Like if its possible to just turtle whit a few regions until Chaos comes knocking?

>We couldve simply gotten the game with all factions 2 months later with no milking CA bullshit on us.

I dont believe that would happen though, we are over 6 months in and Bretonnia are not even out.

The game would be shit in comparison because the players opinions have helped to develop the game, CA listened to what people want and developed down that path.

If the game came out sometime later this year it would have half the content missing, and there would be less variety in abilities and starts.

The team that did the post launch content completely blew the fuck out of the main team in terms of quality of content.

So are all the starting Lords of Brettonia sperate factions? Does that mean that unless you confederate you only will have a single LL?

Arr Europeans rook the same.
Ottomans and Maratha are different enough from Europeans.
