So what do you want in terms of absolute pie in the sky stuff?

Kislev pumped up to a full playable faction, Tilea and border princes given enough flavor that they arent exactly the same as empire provinces

Maaaaaybe stuff from Nippon/Ind/Cathay? Maybe mercenary heroes you can recruit or something?

As far as high pie in the sky stuff? Alternate end game scenarios.

Rather than just the Chaos invasion, Nagash wakes up, gotta deal with him. Or if you're not playing as Skaven, the council of 13 get their shit together and swarm the overworld with a host of Verminlords, etc. Make it so every game feels a bit different.

Here's how I will plan out my massive Von Carstein campaign. We will rule over the entire Empire, Bretonnia, and the merchant kingdoms in an era of undeath not yet seen!
>>

Who's the red one? Did I miss something about this update?
>>
>>169863376
You forgot peasants with bows, easy mistake to make
>>
>>169863423

Firstly, expand all of the fluff factions. Fully fleshed out Tilea, Estalia, Border Princes, Araby, Kislev.

Secondly, give all factions of the Empire unique generals like Boris.

Thirdly, give all the main factions a sub story that is hinted at throughout the campaign. An example would be Bretonnia having Mallobaude. Basically how Attila was handled. Give mention of him throughout your campaign until he pops up with some high level doom stacks to face. That will be the faction end game.

Then after that is complete comes the End Times. The real fucking end times, not this bullshit couple of bitch stacks. Chaos shows up and all remaining factions briefly form alliances (except for chaos factions like Beastmen, Skaven, etc.) to fight back Chaos. Give it a special quest battle too.

Fourthly, add a real mercenary system. Dogs of War and all that. Include some exotic units from Cathay and Nippon.

And finally, create a fully functioning underway map.
>>
>>169863423

I want Kislev and the Border Princes to be fully unique and fleshed out, with their own unique rosters, buildings, VAs, and mechanics.

Basically given the Bretonnia treatment.

And Kislev being immune to snow attrition from the start and able to make themselves immune to Chaos attrition

And the Border Princes roster basically being a mix of all the other human nations with original units and some crazy mixes and RoR

Can someone tell me how the fuck starting as Bordeleax is supposed to work? three games in a row now I get wiped out by the red duke around turn 40 who, despite having only one fucking stettlement, has the biggest army in the world by then, and since I can't expand in any direction and my bretonnian fellows won't come to my aid no matter what I'm done for
>>
How do you win as hordes on very hard?

All the enemy factions move their armies in like triple deathstacks, but hordes suffer attrition if you put two of your hordes next to eachother.
>>
>>169863423
Ind, Nippon and Cathay don't have stuff. They have no army lists.

My "absolute pie in the sky" would be the game being 100% released and completed right now instead of piecemeal over the next 3-6 years.

Also by the way the sequel will probably be announced in May with a release date of June 2018. Enjoy, faggots.

>>
>>169864117
In order to fuck with the new world you'll need to sail there. So yeah, they'll be isolated. I mean fuck even now marching from Bretonnia to the southern Badlands is a huge journey- imagine what a pain it will be to march from Bretonnia to Lybaras on the other side of the southern world's edge mountains down in Nehekhara? Or way across the dark lands to reach the mountains of mourn.

But if CA is smart they'll take advantage of the existence of the vampire coast, norse and old world/imperial colonies in the new world to put some LLs from those races as playable factions if you own both games.

Seriously, whats the rush? There isnt one. The vampires cant get out of their settlement without getting murdered by either you or another bret faction, the only reason you cant really steamroll them early is because their garrison is pretty tough for an early game bret army.

Its not like Mousillion is walled. Just focus fire The Red Dook and when he goes down so does his army.

>>169865234
>No infighting

That could easily be explained. In the lore it's shown that the Slann have no real idea what the fuck they're supposed to do, changing ideas constantly on what the great plan really is.

The TWW guys could just say various Slann/lizardmen groups split off based on their own ideas for what the great plan is.
>>
>>169865660
Chaos are a real problem for Brets, thankfully the AI is broken again and thinks 15 chariots is a good build

Otherwise you need to take a metric fuckton of armor piecing stuff and stay the fuck away from all their halberds. Use bow cav or something to wear them down.

Bretonnians are penalized for infighting. So you can create penalties for infighting and defying the great plan.

Also Lizardmen should have to wipe out all chaos like beastmemes, woc and skaven as well as undesirable races like vampires and greenskins. You get to be Hitler for justice.

Warhammer needs a new mechanic in the next expansion: Burning down forests in a live battle.

Fire Arrows and certain siege weaponry should be able to light up a forest if they are firing in that direction. Any units inside the forest would start taking periodic fire damage, and it would become impossible to enter the burning forest from that point on.
>>

definitely reworking underway

Remove this goofy no clipping shit, full underground map HoMM style. Make Karaks extremely limited on the surface a la wood elf outpost with some kind of mountain road battle map for sieges and the actual city is in the underground map with all the building slots. Underway can only be entered from these Outpost karaks and a few specific surface entrances sparsed out here and there in the world, you'll be able to set ambushes outside waiting for some tunnel dwelling fuck rather than the current pray for a no clip intercept shit we have now. Will make the subterranean buff skills a lot more viable as well.

Alongside these revamps, some actual underway battle maps that arent just big empty straight hallway. Give me some maze like maps with lots of impassable terrain and cut off line of sight where you have to look for the foe. Can mess around with extra traits like miners and night goblins having better underground LoS, vanguard units would be super important to scout out the tunnels quickly etc. God fucking damn can you imagine that?. Fuck. FUCK

Also naval combat pls, with sea monsters and shit

So i've been playing this game for a bit, started out as Empire on hard with Karl. I beat the secessionists, went off to do the quest that gives me a wizard and I beat it with a decisive victory. Winning it won me a harsh trait, which just makes everyone unhappy apparently. How did I get that?
>>
>>169871381
More peasants, they're cheap af and need to die or be disbanded right after anyway. Put archers behind them. Cav charge plus archers plus flying cav focusing enemy Lord = enemy breaks before your peasants. Doesn't work vs dawi and chaos

>>169871381
learn to set up your flanking forces so they are ready to charge by the time they first start attacking your anvil. You shouldn't be waiting to start your cavalry movements until the lines meet.

>>169863423
I'd love all the human sub factions Kislev/Araby/Telia/Estalia/Border Princes, fleshed out enough to be playable races even if they don't get "full" rosters.

For them to go all Shogun 2 on the Empire sub factions, giving them their own focuses, a LL and one or two unique units/buildings. Imagining getting the moot and being able to recruit halflings as canon fodder.

Would love to see some of the more out there and add in some of the units in lore, stuff like the Marienburg land ship, the Dwarf Airships, those flying towers you see in the art all the time, stuff like that.

For sieges to get a rework, more interesting map and siege equipment. Specially for factions like the Orcs and Skaven.

A proper RoR system, maybe even bring stuff in like the dogs of war for universal mercenaries.

Working and usable standard bearers, musicians, and captains.

So basically everything they've said they don't want to do yet I'd buy it all full price in a heart beat.

To be honest I just want them to shove in as much content as they can for Warhammer.

They should link this game with Vermintide, Mordheim and Man-o-war.

For instance, if you attack someone at sea, you have option "Resolve battle in Man-o-war."

If that "skaven abduct citizens" even happens you can choose to resolve it in special solo/duo Vermintide match.

Mordheim can be used to boost income.

Actually people are strongly theorizing that game 3 will just have 4 factions of chaos demons.

The other three you listed are to be implied dlc factions. Well that and god knows how many freebee sub-factions along the way. All i know is i want a faction that can stand up to the bloody dwarves and empire properly for once, skaven and chaos dwarves i believe in you.
>>
>>169877278
in good christian knights' defense, the saracenes normally either were "I'll complete my great quest (normally Beast Glatisant or something) and then I will convert to worship Jesus" or they get beaten in duel by Arthur or Lancelot or Galahad and go all "I see your god is stronger, I'll go convert now".

Most everything said previously:
Fleshed out human factions + araby, kislev etc.
Standard bearers, marching band etc.
Dogs of war
Dont think an entire subworld is necessary but making maps that aren't corridors would be good.
Certain magic being more effective but possibly catastrophic for your own team.
Some kind of progressive multiplayer system that isn't only used by cheesing faggets(not sure how to implement without throwing balance completely out).
Multi stage siege maps. Field Battle into Wall Assault into a fight for the Town Square. Even if it's one map leading into another based on win/lose conditions.
Expanded Voicework and interaction in the diplomacy screens, characters respond to certain things with voice rather than text. particularly for GOBBOS and other fun factions
Polish when it comes to audio instances lore, all the nice flavour text should be relevant and make sense to the current game. Refer to things correctly etc.

As long as we're able to play all the main armies and theres enough room for interaction between all factions i'll be happy. Anything else is a bonus.

because he's an interesting and well-written (anti-)villain, who has pretty understandable and dare I say noble goals, and though his methods are somewhat dark and harsh, they may or may not be warranted in the setting. As such, he is not a "Huehuehue, I'm soooo evulll!" villain that this setting runs on, and in the end he is undermined not by any vice or sin, as most villains are, but by his belief that his children in darkness can and will be as noble and decent as himself.

Seeing as trusting those who owed everything to him was his downfall when he was doing best for the Empire in its dark days, it's hard not to feel sympathy for him.

The game should allow to mix units from diffrent factions freely.
Also you should be able to capture anything, but town's faction shouldn't change, so if you capture a karak, you get access to dorf buildings and units, etc.

This. Lots of passages and rooms, small and wide. Special units that can reopen collapsed/blocked pathways. Deployable barricades pre-battle for them as well.

Also, field fortifications, trenches and such, with the possibility to choose the battlefield beforehand so your camp doesn't start in the middle of a lake or something. The current encampment is meh.

Raiding from the sea and naval battles. Norsca should be more like Norsca.

Cannons should be able to switch to indirect (45 degrees) fire for extended range at the cost of accuracy.

A supply caravan unit that resupplies ammo in an aura.

All units should be able to at least spread out to minimize casualties from enemy fire.

What do you guys think will be the next expansions of Warhammer Total War?

My take is that we'll get one containing the parts of the New World (Ulthuan and big chunks of Lustria and Naggaroth) with the factions:
High Elves
Dark Elves
Lizardmen
and possible Skaven.


We'll also see one expansion containing the Dark Lands and the northern parts of the Southlands which will include the factions:
Tomb Kings.
Chaos Dwarfs
Ogre Kingdoms.

Daemons of Chaos will probably end up as a free DLC down he road. Hopefully we'll also see proper Warriors of Chaos with the correct representation from their gods.

>>169882078
He has a cool helmet tho.
>>
>>169882205
Daemons of Chaos could potentially also be included in the "New World-expansion" if it contains a chunk of the Northern Wastelands. Ideally this chunk would connect the Naggaroth with the Old World and allow for both tribal infighting amongst Chaos Warbands/tribes and land conquests.

Bullshit. He was just a normal cleric warrior, then suddenly his brothers attacked him, because the prophecy book told them (why the fuck did they even read a chaos tome) that he was the chosen Chaos guy. And then he turns insane when his whole life was predicted by a stupid book.

Hell, he was never bullied. Just found in the wild by a priest after his mother didn't want him as a rape-baby.

If that's the case then Daemons of Chaos would be quite a good contender, and quite suited if they choose to include the overland route between The Old World and the New. Having WoC-factions that are worshippers of a single deity, lead by the Glottkin, Valkia the Bloody, Vilitch the Curseling, etc along with Luthor Harkon would make for great DLC's down the line.
Throgg would have been a really fun DLC legendary lord to play as also, allthough he would have been more suited as a DLC for the first game.

There were many points in my campaign where I would have get wrecked if somebody scary declared war on me.

Luckily I was allied with all the other bretonnian factions so nobody tried anything(except for Beastmen factions). My economy was shit, but I rushed the heraldry "techs" so I could confederate and unite bretonnnia.

Now I am making 8k per turn(10 if Alberic stays in Bordeleaux) with two armies. My land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind, but the von carstein faction and chaos is wrecking shit in the Empire which is pretty scary.

How exactly are you supposed to play poopoo peepee men? Looting settlements gives you fuck all money, your units suck, and sieges are essentially impossible unless they have no garrison.

You're fucked. Unless you can hold the walls when they attack... perhaps the greenskins will kill each other or turn on Marienburg. You'll have your garrison,your army and walls. You *could* hold them with an heroic victory. It looks like you were upgrading to Tier 3 when they caught you so the garrison will be significantly weaker...

Louen is the best overall. You have a lot of options for crusading right from the start, and you're supported by busted-strong knights. He's unstoppable in combat too.
Fay Enchantress has kind of a shit start, but she's alright if you really want to focus on magic. Also, she can crusade on greenshits rather easily.

Pope breached their sovereignty of 900 years and seized power in January,the order is infuriated at the lack of respect calling it a "coup de'tat" but their Oath of Obedience prevents them from refusing. There is a "civil war" raging in the Catholic Church between liberals,traditionalists and militants.

The Knights of Malta pose as a humanitarian organization but operate as a small nation with ambassadors to 103 nations(contact with 126),currency,passports etc. They recently returned to Malta with a 99 year lease of their old fortress and seek to return to Cyprus and Rhodes aswell. Their headquarters remains in Rome though.

The upper ranks a.k.a "the members"(there is no member list just a number of 13,000+) are all descendants of European noble houses with histories in the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller, it's an invite only order which raises eyebrows among outsiders. After all the Hospitallers original purpose was caring for the sick and injured but amidst the crusades were changed to jointly defend Christians physically and medically from Muslim aggression and fought Islam from 1089 to 1798. Interesting thing is that members of the order were generals in the current middle eastern wars and even more itneresting.
President Trump's inaugurational Benediction was commited by the American leader of the Knights of Malta, Cardinal Dolan where he read from the Book of Solomon which is a key part of Freemasonry which many believe the upper echelons of that society to be the descendants of the Knights Templar.

It was literally 2 days later the Pope seized control of the order and banned Freemasons and demanded the resignation of the Grandmaster. For the first time in 900 years a Pope has interfered with their sovereignty. The official reason is due to their refusal to submit to the contraceptives ruling but behind the scenes its a lot more interesting.

You did exactly the opposite of what I said to do which is to read the bible and form your own conclusions, but I guess that the ramblings of some sophist 8gagger are better at reinforcing your already established beliefs.

I should have expected no less of /pol/ forming a world view from infographics and youtube videos.


It makes me laugh to see how you christians can't actually post the entire paragraphs of the "red-pilled" bits of your own Gospel, because they would show how retarded they truly are.

"I have come not to bring peace, but a sword" is not a call for getting rid of kikes and mudslimes in the glorious crusade DEUS VULT, it is a call for civil war within your own family, against your own blood in the name of their retarded religion

here it is the entire paragraph:

"Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

"A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me"

The household is countries not biological families. He warned of following Him would cause conflict amongst neighbours,friends and families. Because following Him goes against the norms of society.

Cutting in here:
To be fair to that anon. The Christian Holy Bible is not the 100% truth of God. It's man's understanding through the centuries, divinely inspired definitely but divinely written? No. To see it as 100% truth is folly. The Catholic Church doesn't teach that and neither does the Orthodox. I don't know about the Protestant one though. We don't really have a protestant community where I live.

In Islam though they deem it 100% truth and to debate it would mean death only a handful of Hadiths are allowed to be discussed the rest is forbidden. They believe their book was given by the archangel Gabriel to Muhammed. So all that war mongering,murder,rape,slavery,genocide and promotion of destruction and deadly sins is literally God's word.

Now that we've got our 1400 year old war of Islam vs Christianity and Judaism out of the way...can we get back to Total War?

The greenskin event happens for all Bret factions I think.

Pro tip
Get the first 2 economic researches(Improve economy and alehouse for the +growth) should take 10 turns with the increased research rate and reduced construction cost commandment.. Then get Chivalric code and then one of the confederation techs and start uniting Bretonnia. 20 turns in all. Or you can do it the other way around if you want to expand quickly.
Also upgrade your provincial capital immediately you want the better garrison as quick as possible as they are your shield against the unwashed hordes. Fuck the smaller one for now. Make sure you deploy your damsels to lower 10% construction costs aswell as the skillpoint for the damsel for another 10% reduced cost and the commandment/edict for reduction cost totalling 30% less. A damsel should reach Rank 2 by turn 6.

Cheap buildings is always a plus and try to max out your peasant limit and replace them over time with better versions. I was literally bound to my Couronne capital as Bretonnia for 19 turns and made a Bret NATO of trade and defensive alliances with military access aswell as good Empire relations of trade and non aggression. If you play Bretonnia's main faction with Leoun then conquer Marienburgs capital by Turn 3 or you are fucked. An anon further up the thread shows the consequences of letting them exist. Here at Turn 13 on VH as Bretonnia
>>169884153

As for armies. I've found 3/3 Low Born Militia is a must have as it makes your infantry awesome. When you get battle pilgrims and a grail reliquae as support. Not only will they hold the line but push through the enemy.
"Red" generals all day everyday. I'd rather have an OP as shit support character that buffs an entire army passively than a OP melee single unit which are useless anyway with ultra unit sizes.

you should play through the campaign as one of the base/flc races first, and then if you feel like you want to play as one of the new dlc races you can decide which ones you want to buy

grim/grave + king/warlord add to the base factions and are pretty good. Blood is neat

Yeah that's right. AI factions will have reduced rosters if you don't own them. So when you face them in battle. They won't be as powerful.

You guys notice all the new QoL changes? Like the symbols in diplomacy or on the menu screens?

Hell even the layout of the factions has changed to hide the factions you don't own and the campaign listing has changed layout and name.

To me it looks like it will end up like this:
Grand campaigns:
>Old World (what it now says used to just say Warhammer Campaign)
>New World (For those that want to play in the new world with the helfs,delfs,skaven and lizardmen with subfactions of Greenskins,beastmen and vampires)
>Dark Lands and Land of the Dead (Adding Tomb Kings,Ogres,Chaos Dwarfs and multiple subfactions for Skaven and Lizardmen)
>Whole World(For those with 2 or more of the games and want the entire map and all factions you own at once playable)

Story Campaigns:
>Eye for an Eye
>Season of Revelation
>War of the Beard/Ancients/Vengeance.
>War for Eight Peaks
>Crusades of Araby
>Skaven Wars
etc
etc

spend the first part of your campaign fucking around in the north, awakening various tribes until just one allied tribe is left. By this point your main stack should be fully upgraded, and you should have recruited the other ll's for your other stacks, using your main to transfer good units to them while they grow. From that point on its just a series of boring methodical siege battles against the turtle ai, with the occasional exciting 3v1 field battle.

kek more like release in late Summer or early autumn.
Tease in April. Full reveal in May. Lots of info at E3 in June.
Bretonnia is the last big DLC release and caps the development of the first game with the old world now completed and the grand campaign officially renamed "The Old World".
The main fantasy team has been working on the first expansion since mid January 2016. Months before the first game released and the entire team was working on it once the first shipped. The DLC team is now moving onto expansional development and planning post expansion support with a skeleton crew handling the last remaining free content currently called "An old friend...". CA already announced last year the expansions will be bigger than planned due to the unexpected success of Warhammer and its DLC's and will now feature 4 base factions and a map similar in size to the old world ingame map. The original plan was 3 factions and half the size.
Files indicating high elf units have already been found aswell. Russian dataminers have apparently found a new campaign map with Bretonnia's release and are trying to decrypt it. I hope that checks out. I'd be interesting in seeing what they find.

Pic related was the first datamined(now outdated) map in May 2016 that a /twg/ anon edited to make it more like ingame.
>>
>>169891945
that anon is wrong the ai will have all of the dlc units and RoR even if you don't get the DLC yourself. Its actually pretty fucking annoying considering the Dwarfs will shit out constant RoR doomstacks even though you can't

>>169892574
We only have Warhammer to work with here, but if CA could replicate this success with a different IP I would begin to prefer fantasy titles for the historical ones.

The recent historical titles have too little diversity in the rosters for the factions. The models hardly look different and the only difference in role is determined by stats. I hope main lesson CA takes from Warhammer into the future historical titles is that a few factions with genuine differences in style and game experience is a lot better than twice as a shitton of sameface factions. At least make the fucking starting positions interesting if nothing else.
>>
When are we likely to next see a sale on DLC for Warhammer?

is it just me or are there way more events popping off in a Bretonnia campaign than any of the others?

I don't know, Warhammer works well because it's based on a setting that is designed to specifically have a lot of unique and thematically interesting factions, that also has a wargame built around it so that you don't need to ask questions as to what special units or abilities each race should have. It would be like asking someone to recreate The Empire by saying "it's fantasy HRE" and then expecting them to come up with steam tanks.

They can all start on "Ally" or "Neutral" with military access and then you can go ahead and cancel that shit.

I don't think is that hard.

>>169894469
they should start right after the ending of the Third War. Neutral, main factions have military access and a small bonus to relationship from "Past Wars with Burning Legion", but that's it.
sub-factions, like Warsong Clan start at war with Night Elves automatically.

They rely on a single file that denotes the location of battle maps on the campaign, so all custom battle maps in campaign mods are incompatible with each other. We'll have to wait for someone to step up and start compiling other people's maps into a giant mod, which is a huge undertaking that will take a lot more than the 3 days the patch has been out.

Are we living in an alternate universe where mods are compared to games?

Well given the mod was a full conversion and just that, a mod, given full support of a company could actually make it even better.

And who gives a shit what it would be compared to Warhammer you fucking sperg? Warhammer is already being made and after that's done they are what? Going to remake Warhammer?

LOTR is another popular fantasy universe with TATW already a proof of concept that it can work in a TW format. It makes sense they'd follow through with that given the popularity of fantasy TW.

In fact, CA has already tried to make it but said the IP was too expensive.

Best melee fighter hero for VC, encourage units and have access to a mount.

Banshee is good to have on campaign map, sap buildings and stuff but their fighting ability is not as good vs large units. However they do have fear which can route low tier units.

Vampire is pretty shit in melee and have access to magic, but there is little reason to bring two casters when every VC lord can use lore of vamps.

Necromancer is only useful if your lord does not have the ability to move around the map quick, eg Vlad. Necro hero can use wind of death and summon zombies around the map whilst Vlad or your melee lord fights on foot.

Does that help?

It works fine for Louen, since you can actually do something about it. For the other two Brets, it needs to be removed entirely, no idea what they were thinking.

For Carcassonne and Bordelaux it means that you have to sit in your city for 20 (TWENTY) turns. That's like a good fifth of the campaign.
And it gives you about 300 chivalry for no reason.

But I look up and Chaos have basically conquered most of the world and are nearly at my doorstep

>>
>>169900308
It's only nice if you're playing Bretonnia because you can actually wipe out the orcs and stop the invasion.

If you're playing any of the other bret factions it's a massive ballache because the only way to stop it is by trespassing all over the other bret kingdoms and killing the orcs, by which time revolts will have taken over your settlements and will also piss off your only potential allies and make confederating a lot harder later on.

It just forces you to cheese your way to level high level lords and heroes.

After being forced to sit in Mousillon whilst it rebelled EVERY turn for 20 turns Alberic was like level 14 and all my heroes were level 9 so by the time the 20 turns of rebellions were over I could just row right over to Marienburg with a single stack and take over the whole province without losing a single unit.
