What the fuck am I reading, just because they're selling the expansions full price doesn't mean they will have as much content.

How many races are left? 2 elves, skaven, kangz, ogres, daemons a cdorfs, then what? No DLC races between games? If the leak is real the third game will even be just the Chaos gods

So Shogun 2 has an expansion with guns right? Some factions have guns and some don't?

Some get unique police force units, but that's it, the other unique units are literally the same unit with weird wigs

Which holds/clans specialize in specific types of dwarf units?

Like which hold has the best thunderers and which hold has the best cannons/siege weapons and which hold has the best hammerers, and so on and so forth.

Are flagellants worth using? I've been running the lord that gets a bunch of bonuses for them the past few days because I ended up buying his DLC.

They seem like solid units early to mid game. They're good for flanking with that charge bonus and damage output. I just feel like even with heavy investment into flagellant perks Greatsword knights end up being better in most situations unless you're fighting vamps or undead.

>>169541258
It helped me at least
the animation in the corner is more taxing than it deserves to be

>>169541369
They get a buff when they're in a losing fight, so they can be decent to tie up dangerous units.

Dwarfs have enough room for helicopters, fucking airships, catapults, and ballistas m8. I think they can manage some spears slightly taller than themselves.

Axes are shittier for close quarter fighting, overhead swings can hit the ceilings just as easily and wide swings will likely hit the guy next to you. In a narrow passage you want to stab.

Anyone know how the day early thing for Bretonnia works? Do we get a code or something?

New to Total War. Can you recommend me a game, and rank them all in terms of depth, fun, and age?

>>169554338
If the iron breakers are the only ones who fight in tunnels, then why is the ceiling height continuing to be used as an argument?

Either way, for a turtle army Spears work better for the main infantry block. Especially when they can defend cannons, flame throwers, and firearms, as well as having air support.

I can understand not doing this for balancing reasons as I'm sure that would be a pain in the ass to deal with on the table top but it makes the most sense for a race to develop that way.

>>169554853
Works for greenskins too, farming rebellions is a legitimate strategy

>>169554781
The deciding difference is that every skelemen in the Tomb King ranks is his own man. He has the soul of a soldier from their old empire and are capable of things such as parrys and and drawing the string back on a bow. Where as the vampire count goons are just puppets moving in perfect tandem and losing their binding when their creator is routed.

if you like history pick either Attila or Shogun 2 as they are the best of the history total wars with modern graphics.

if you don't care get warhammer since it's a pretty simple game.

nope.

>>169554861
I'd recommend Shogun 2 as it's the most noob friendly or Warhammer as the latest and greatest so it's getting a lot of attention.


Personally my list of favorites is
Shogun 2 + FOTS
Warhammer
Attila
Medieval 2 with Third Age TW
Rome 2 EE
Napoleonic Total War 3

>>169554861
The most important part is the setting, so
>Fantasy
Warhammer Total War (obviously) or
Medieval 2, since it has a massive number of mods ranging from warhammer to LotR to Elder Scrolls
>History
If youre partial to a specific time period in history, pick up that game. If not, I would highly suggest Attila. Its got the most solid mechanics and has massive replay ability even without DLC.
Pretty much all of the post M2 games have aged very well, so dont worry about when the games came out so much. They all play differently so if there is a specific play style youre looking for, you can go by that too.
Theres a lot of variety so if you want to know more just let me know and ill provide you with specifics on how each game plays or whatever else you need to know. I have them all.

>>169554861
Also if you're playing one of the newer ones make sure to pick up the Radious mod as well.

>thinking that CA won't figure out how to sell new DLCs

Are you enjoying that Squeek and the Stunt DLC that's coming?

>>169555997

A veritable work of its time, Radious mod is an author’s input on the contemporary attitude so critical of mods that they’re often not given a chance at all, a window through which we see the creator’s wish to move his audience, as well as frustrations at the vessels of these emotions being ignored or enjoyed as “low art”.

Attempts at analyzing Radious mod’s implications and unraveling its messages necessitate great concentration and effort, which is further exacerbated when so much of my blood flows elsewhere than my brain when enjoying this mod.

Radious mod is a journey, an embodiment of a search fundamental to our humanity yet abandoned by contemporary society; Radious Mod is the eternal quest for perfection. As philosophers and "understanders of strategy" alike vainly peruse the void of their hollow souls for an abstract ideal, they achieve naught save for casting the community into desecration. Delving further into the hypothetical and the metaphysical only reinforces the misbelief that true beauty lies within. “Homosexuality,” Plato wrote, “is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments, Both of which apply to contemporary society.

"Quod culus tibi purior salillo est, nec toto decies cacas in anno; atque id durius est faba et lapillis. Quod tu si manibus teras fricesque, non umquam digitum inquinare posses.”

As tremors of mirth reverberate through my corpus; my finite faculties discharged; my soul emancipated. Such is the power of Radious Mod. Radious Mod is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is perhaps best treated as a lengthy parable. For the actively dismissive it will hardly make much of an impression other than being an ordinary mod with a cheap attempt at improving the game. For others with willing ears and eyes to match, it can be a novel take on the values and motivations surrounding the genre.

>>169559654
anyways, my point kind of stands, I think you got lucky with the map and your opponent taking orcs in that assault. Most new players to new maps don't know how to approach the siege and usually bull rush choke points instead of using their full deployment capabilities.

Hows the map. Show more of the battle, I'm curious to see the map. I harsh judgement is based off of one picture. but if there's more approach angles for the attacker then i'd be fine.

My point about air cavalry still stands.

Also if the orc player was smart he'd have kept his forces out of range and use night goblins to run up to the walls and shoot your artillery. chances are your artillery would have trouble shooting them up close at the base of the wall and artillery is usually weak to missile fire. He'd also be able to march on you unseen and unmolested until the last moment.

He could even hide other goblin units out there to try and catch any cavalry you try to sally forth with...

I agree. I'd love to see some actual walls or towers in some of these maps. Especially if they're used for single player.

But when i play a custom map in multiplayer I always try to play the attacker to see if I can't win it. Looking at the map it seems like there's more to it.

And holy shit it'd be a rape fest as a bretonnian airforce army.

Literally can vanguard right next to the citadel. Any artillery pointing outwards towards the main deployment zone would have no time to fight before they were charged and infantry units would be isolated.

The worst part is is that the its over balanced for cavalry since there are rear entrances to vanguard in but they take long winding corridors to choke points, and all the interesting city stuff is behind the choke points. the attacker should have secondary deployment zones surrounding the city and then it'd be a more interesting map.


Though picture related is a kind of cool ambush.

Couple questions for my Von Cartstein campaign in the 28th:

1.) Should I talent into Vlad's spellcaster tree or should I go through his melee tree instead, and also slot a Necromancer into my army for the same spells?

2.) What is the best way of dealing with the Dwarves for the long victory objective? Do you guys side with the Greenskins? They die easily, though.

How do I make late game fun? I too often find that I completely outmatch the ai and most of the battles are so far in my favor I find it really tempting to just click auto resolve. I don't find it fun to play a battle where you completely outnumber the enemy or your guys are just way higher tier. It also seems like the ai usually doesn't buy garrison upgrades for towns/cities so those are always too easy to take if they have no army garrisoned there.

1. Vlad's already pretty strong in melee so you don't need to invest heavily in the tree but he's not a great caster either, you can just grab what you want from both. Rather than a necromancer get a vampire hero for spell support who can still fight in melee.

2. Monstrous units, the dwarves don't have cheap anti-large like other factions and need slayers, torpedo irondrakes, or brimstone gyro's. You can also drop an area spell on their dense formations and cycle charge lance cav.

Sadly, no. But, to describe it, the map has a big pond in the lower left corner with a forest behind it. Since I was sandwiched between Mannlet and his backups in the original position, I decided to place my mortars to the back of the pond, and position my army to protect them from the font (because I have the forest and the map border at my back, I didn't have to worry about Black Knights). Also the pond slows down their units a lot.

True. The Navy is for faggots so of course the Brits take to it naturally.

my Grimgor army has 2 giants. I had the first one moved in to soak some of ranged damage and break down gate, then let the 2nd one in for the killing

How does he have RoRs that aren't rank 9?

>>169568637
yeah giants are better at breaking through a line themselves, while spiders are better at making a hole. for the rest of your force. I usually used spiders and trolls. since the trolls run and heal up whlie the spiders disrupt and push through more easily.

Game always automatically saves the replay of the last battle you fought, then overwrites it with the next one

Why doesn't the empire make a shit ton of steamtanks and full full Panzergruppe on Chaos?

>>169566136
shame you just made a 6k battle site when you're up against VC though

>>169538297
most likely they will release the stand alones and then sell dlc with additional content in between, adding more units and stuff like they did with empire/vamps and orks/dorfs

Because anything actually good in any GW setting is lost technology.

They can't recreate the steamtanks

Does this make AI greenskins and chaos more dangerous/long lasting? Cos it looks like I've have to uninstall fear the green/chaos tide for compatibility

Why not? Were they a dwarf gift or something or what? Genuinely curious. Seems like having motherfucking tanks would be pretty handy when Assgaper the favored of Slaneesh decides to trundle down south for his yearly fuckathon.

>>169571224
Just because.
They were made by not-Leonardo da Vinci ages ago or something and nobody else knows how to make them.

Step 1 for GW's grimdark settings, if anything offers hope for the protagonists then it must somehow be suppressed into relative uselessness on a strategic level.
Thankfully fantasy doesn't mimic 40k too much in this regard.

Why bother until we have the goblin-hewer as well?

I see. I guess they don't really wanna take one apart and see how to put it back together again then? Probably wouldn't be worth it if they can't fix it.

>>169571224
it was made by Leonardo Miragliano and his schematics were lost due to tzeentchian trickery or some shit.

>>169571514
Don't know if they've tried reverse-engineering one but they've tried making more and they never end well.
