My enemies are many, my equals are none

In the shade of living trees they said Athel Loren could never be conquered

In the land of vampires and necromancers, they said Sylvania could never be humbled

In the realm of chaos and snow, they said Norsca could never be tamed

Now they say nothing, they fear me, like a force of nature, a dealer in chivalry and death

I say, I am Louen Leoncoeur! I am King of Brettonia!

Here's the Real Facts
If you aren't hidden, the AI knows exactly where you are, regardless of their line of sight. They can be across the world and still know exactly where you are
If you ARE hidden, then the AI completely forgets your army ever existed, and will happily traipse right over your ambushes every time

How the fr*ck should I deal with this sort of Wood Elf deerfuckery?
Even Bestigors with their 100 armour were still shot to pieces quite quickly
I figure Centigors would get shot to pieces just as much, but maybe they'll at least be able to close in and tie up enemies.... even then, would Great Weapons Centigors be able to deal with Welf Melee Cav?
Some kind of dog and Centigor-centric army maybe?

Or perhaps it's just a raw numbers thing, I only fielded that one army, the other two lords were loners (hired recently, still developing their buildings).

>Better early game hammer for the empire

?? If you said Flagellants, that would be true. But Swordsmen are completely an anvil, that holds up marginally better than spearmen and comes with a shield unlike base spearmen. Two xbow men, 2 free companys, and musketeer is a great range distribution for empire early game as Franz that can get you along until you capture nearby territories like Nuln.

Fuck. I think this Chaos invasion may actually be campaign-endingly dangerous. Since Empire got wrecked by second wave of chaos (and Skarsnik being sneaky) they never bothered reclaiming towns in Reikland, as a result they only control Altdorf, artillery building being the only unit producing one there.
Hochland is my vassal, but it's also getting wrecked. And unless these chaos stacks separate ASAP it will be impossible for me to take them on.
Right now all 8 chaos stacks eradicate one province at a time without ever going far away from each other.

Played it twice on the release, and eventhough I played all others, empire one has the most interesting rooster, difficulty curve and feel.

I got back to memehammer to check bretonnia, but got mad since I was hoping a can spam stacks of shitty peasants as a cannon fodder and play with some better cavalery. But as far as I'm concerned I cannot create peasant-heavy rooseters even with fay enchantress

Got back to Empire for the 3rd time, and new f factions on South and West makes Empire even better. Not to mention my GOLDENBOI is now not a shitty pick.

That's the problem. Uniting badlands as Grimgor is pretty easy, especially if you take the dwarves down ASAP. When you play as Wurrzag AI Grimgor allows Dorfs to grow too strong and they become a serious problem.
>>
>>170329264
I've stomped the dorf dead and allowed Grimgor to spread as much as he wants because he went and confederated with greenskins all the way up north, I really don't want those holds.

I've slowly but surely been genociding the stunties of the gray mountains, Tilea constantly raids my shit so I'm playing whack a mole with them while every single one of my holds rebel all the time and can't be taken down by level 2 walls so progress is mighty slow.

I think everything in the empire is dead as fuck so I might stop either way since there won't be anything to kill anymore.

Holy shit, Dawi best ally. I could've won that by myself, Chaos forces weren't that impressive (even 2 reinforcing stacks that weren't as damaged as Kholek's forces), but the fact that an AI ally actually did something of use surprised me. And I treated these dorfs like shit too, refusing to join their war against Skarsnik all game long.
After I'm through with Chaos I'm going to the Gray Mountains to repay the debt to my Dwarven bros.

How does fighting Vamp Counts work now? I used to be able to take out their lord and all their units would crumble in seconds. Now crumbling doesnt always happen and the enemy flags will start to flash white (like they are wavering) instead of glowing red like when they crumble. Takes like half an hour to wittle down single units even with the lord dead.
>>
Only recently picked this game up, I'm playing as King Leon the Handsome, I've just about managed to Confederate Bretonnia but the Storm of Chaos has just begun. Should I sally forth to kinda help the Empire, or should I let the Wood Elves stamp their hooves on my dick? They only have 3 cities in Athel Loren but the garrison is huge and I've not fought them before and I'm a bit afraid.

I like their roster, and i like their feel. And both Karl and Gelt have good VA. Unfortunately their campaign doesn't have any interesting mechanics.
Those lords seats are borning af, you are just appointing some generals for bonuses once in a while.
They lack something that would resemble different faiths, industrialization and politics inside the Empire, because Nordland, Ostland, Stirland and the rest act like every other realm.

If CA add something like that it would be the best campaing. For now they feel a little lackluster in comparison to other races.

The rooster is pretty great, you can basicly choose any playstyle you want:
heavy infantry blocks, cavalery heavy, engines of war, lots of skirmishes, you name. Of course they won't be as stong in any of those niches as other, specialized races, but thats the price you pay for that flexibility.

I also miss somekind of unique mechanic for the empire. I think they could just add internal politics/ power struggle panel form Attila and I would be happy.

I think my Bretonnia campaign has come to an end. I united the nation and all seemed well. But suddenly Kharak One Eye decided to fuck my shit up as soon as the Storm of Chaos began. The Empire lost Ostland and decided "we can't beat Chaos, let's go beat Bretonnia up instead". After a few turns of this, the Wood Elves presumably saw a Steam Tank roll past Athel Loren and thought "fucking hell can't Leon keep a lid on these monstrosities?" And decided to fuck me up too. 152 turns, Bretonnia fell under an onslaught of Steel, Chaos, Fire, flung shit and Thorns.

It was year 25__ of the Imperial Calendar.
I was an adjutant in the army of my lord Balthasar Gelt, the Supreme Patriarch and we were advancing North-East to contain the invasion of Chaos. Though that war, for all its horrors, brought many examples of human valour and faith, I will tell you of one of the most moving examples.

cont.
>>
>>170336889
We stood in few hours journey from ruins of Castle Rauken having just broken the forces of Chaos Lord responsible for its razing and the death of Count von Raukov and gazed at the desolate and ravaged lands of Kislev. Though relationship between Tzarina and our good Emperor were rather strained, Kislev has always been strong and hardy ally against Chaos. My lord Gelt, seeing how hard they were damaged resolved to scry on the land to see if the proud kingdom still stood.
In his tent I watched as he channeled his awesome power into a mirror of pure gold and reflection of his mask dissolved into a vision of the lands of Kislev. As mage-sight glided across the frozen kingdom, we saw ruins and bloody battlefields, filled with dead, and twisted things prowling in the shadows. Kislev was all but destroyed. Gelt's mirror left the land and Gulf of Kislev filled our vision. On its waves a lone boat with Kislevite pennant made way towards a dwelling of northern barbarians. An army! What might has Kislev still at its disposal?
As the boat hit the cold sands of Norsca and Kislevites disembarked, it became apparent that all that remained of proud nation was a scarred grizzled veteran general and last, dented and battleworn mortar with its crew. Their faces grim and vengeful they made way to a nearby dune and first mortar shell soared screeching towards the Varg village. With grim laughter the Kislevites watched as ramshackle buildings exploded and as horde of marauders rushed towards them. The mirror turned back to opaque gold before I saw conclusion of this hopeless but valiant retribution. Despite his impassive mask, I could see that even my lord Gelt was moved. Kislev was no more, but it went as it lived - unbowed and ferocious.

Just finished a Bret campaign and went back to empire, had not played them since beastmen dlc hit and it still seems odd that state knights aren't one tier lower since you can get reiksgaurd so easily. Maybe it's because I'm coming off the calv heavy brets but it seems like early empire battles could be improved a bit, and at that point there would at least be a point where I use state knights. Anyone else feel state knights are kind of in an odd place?

Im around turn 65 ish on Carsteins and I've expanded all the way northwards taking over the not-russians and now I'm the first line of defense against chaos.

The good news is that no one wants to fuck with me since I'm fighting the chaos all the time,

The bad news is that I'm stuck. I keep repeating the cycle of where I kill them and they kill me and incite rebellions, what do I do to stop this?

Also whats the assassin hero for the vampire faction?

If I'm reading this right (and I think I am), the Von Carstein faction buff 'Undying Love' is only a benefit if you have two armies led by Vlad and Isabella following each other about so they can reinforce oneanother? But with the Vampire Counts penalty for having more than one army, +15 melee and defence really doesn't seem worth it?

The turn is 178, Chaos was thoroughly thrashed about 30 turns ago, Empire still doesn't bother reclaiming Reikland. If I wasn't so chivalrous I would've conquered them myself already. At least I bit off all of it's northern provinces and Kislev.

It's just some AI's. As you can see on the minimap Border Princes are making steady progress into Empire's lands by grabbing ruins.
Also it seems to depend on wars and how close the opponent is. Empire is still at war with the Vampires (thanks to our common dwarven allies) and sees them as too much of a threat to start retaking ruins.
>>
losing an army HURTS!
I have the golds, but damn, by the time I get full stack Archie will have decimated half the country!
>>
>>170340905
AI is based on Task Generators, Task Priorities, and a few others. Basically, if the Empire AI thinks it has more important things than Ruin Resettlement to take care of, it'll focus on those things. A lot of factions will almost never touch ruins unless they're pretty much totally at peace. The obvious answer to that is to have like a secondary task for secondary forces, but I think the AI generally prefers to do one thing with every resource (the combined fist approach) rather than diversify it's objectives.

To be fair, his AoE Armor & leadership buff is really decent

Route marcher and after that nothing but his personal killy tree. You don't need those meager unit buffs when your lord can slaughter 3 companies without breaking a sweat.
But really, the Orc unit tree is kinda shitty, it does very little to fix the weaknesses of the faction's units.

The warhammer world is one of the first NOT!Europe settings so it blatantly copies from folklore and history, The enchantress is the "pope" of the worshippers of the lady of the lake, and the lady of the lake is basically the wood elf godess that pulled a prank on the bretonnians so they venerated her and would die to protect Athel loren, sparing elven lives

WARHAMMER:
Lady of the Lake is alias of the elven goddess Ladrielle
Fay Enchantress is her head prophetess

ARTHURIAN LEGENDS:
Lady of the Lake is sometimes called Nimue (and sometimes Nimue is her handmaiden), and is a sorceress or nature spirit or whatever, and gives Arthur his sword
Morgana La Fay is Arthur's half-sister and sworn enemy

Another dumb question, >>170349815 here.

When certain buildings need another present, is that confined to that single town, or is it province wide? Because quite a few of the higher tier units are locked behind "you need this level 4 building and this", but then that cuts in on the exclusive t4/5 buildings like Vampire keeps and the like. Are you meant to compartmentalise your empire so that one province handles X while another produces Y?

No it doesnt. In alot of ways its alot better if he doesnt have a mount at all, if he had a dragon for example he would end up a bigger targer for missles and anti large units in general

As for speed in the battle map, he has danse macabre and his unique skill to compensate for that

I want to see the economy improved

I want a Total War game that has a campaign in stages. A perfect example, and the one I want, is another shogun game during the Boshin war that then transitions into expanding the Japanese empire after you unified Japan, and then eventually having to fight in World War 2 against the Americans. Three stage game.

Now obviously that will be politically incorrect as hell because the Japanese Empire was worse than the Nazis, but there is a shitload of DLC that could be released between Korea and China and the surrounding nations.

That would require an amazing engine overhaul for modern warfare. Not to mention possibly having to abandon the turn based system completely. Could be groundbreaking if they do it correctly. Also would be the first game to involve nuclear weapons and insane air/navel warfare. I desperately want to see aircraft carriers in a total war game.

Bring back Captain of the Day. Have at least as many general modifiers as M2 that you have less specific control over.
Make it so the battlefield isn't just a map chosen from a pool, but reflects the terrain your armies are standing on, like M2.

If the units all fight and have the weight of Warhammer then we have a dead ringer for best TW.

I honestly think they need to rework towers in total war. Personally I think they shouldn't be automatic, slow firing defenses but platforms that give your ranged units protection and bonuses.

I would be on board for that.
Make what makes castles, castles... The castles.
A super defensive position for your archers to slaughter the enemy.
It would give you reasons to carry around artillery too.
At the very least make it so you have to staff it with a unit, like M2.

I feel like asking for a building editor on the battlefield would be too much. As in designing your own defenses with some kind of limit based on your economy, or possibly resources. Hell, that kind of freedom might even be a bad idea since it would take a lot of time away from playing the actual game.

strange thing about later games is that they do actually have a giant number of traits, at least Attila does, its just that the triggers are much more strict, so you never see like 90% in your game

That explains a lot since I haven't played Attila yet.

You can have more inner court stuff to balance, but I hate the idea of, "Oh don't get TOO powerful now or everyone hates you ;)"
At least public order ought to have nothing to do with being more powerful. Maybe give governors control of a town and that has a reach around it that diminishes the farther out you go.

>>170361014
I go for the one that gives a straight up bonus for having Roman culture since that's free additional public order. As in the public order cap is higher than the other 2. The other 2 may have ways of increasing it faster, but there's no just "here's more public order", if you get what I'm saying.
More money from farms is pretty good too, or maybe it's even the same family, I can't remember.

Early game make an anvil out of peasant polearms/spearmen, put bowmen behind them, use knights errant, later knights of the realm to flank whatever smashes into your anvil.

Yeah, they are worth using, but the fact that you have to build a carpenter's thingy to get them makes them a little late to the party. Fire ones are good against wood elves, the poison ones are good against everything except skeletons.
Also be careful with your lords - the knight's vows that they unlock as they level up is what allows them to use knight units without gigantic ridiculous upkeep. So if you wanna use better knights in your non-Louen armies you shouldn't forget to get those vows. Basically - if you just got a new lord you can't just give it your best units, you have to substancially level him up first. That's why I usually put knights into my LLs and carried some support peasant stacks on secondary heroes, so I wouldn't feel like total shit if they died.

Lads how am I meant to use Grail Guardians?

They're a tiny unit and don't seem to be very good at tanking things.

What am I meant to do with them?

Yes I am on turn 2 of a carcassone start and tree hitler is standing next to the Fay Enchantress.

I'm avoiding spears with them but after the got flattened (as in entirely wiped out from full HP) in a few seconds by wild riders as a response to a rear charge (as in the GG charged them in their bony elven arses) I think I'm doing something wrong.

Are they for just bashing peasants with?

Grail Guardians have very low AP damage compared to Questing Knights. I used QK for the melee cav role. Don't know what role/use for GGs.

I DID IT LADS!

I WON THE FUCKING BATTLE(if you remember my post about the shit storm at turn 13 I was in on VH difficulty)

My campaign clings to life though as I had to use my depleted army to kill off the 2 greenskin armies and thus lost my 2 high tier units valiantly. The Greenskin event is over so no more greenskin rebels,Mousillon sought peace(I accepted despite us not clashing once) and the only threat now is Marienburg as I rebuild. The Skullsplitter base is under siege by the Empire so my cousins are helping me on that front.

DOMINA VULT!

GG have much higher melee defence, which means that they last a bit longer before you have to pull them out, if you are real good at micro you could possibly just use all questing knights, but honestly, having a unit that can charge straight into a pit of enemies and actually last for a while is pretty usefull, they are also immune to psychology and never tire so thats pretty usefull as well

Did you make peace with them and then confederate with the other Bret factions somehow? How did you do it if so? With only 1 province and 1 army it seems impossible to confederate with other Bret kingdoms who desire a larger parent and powerbase before accepting.

its not that I wanted to let them live, its just that I had other things to worry about, and confederating other bret factions was pretty easy because they were all getting their shit pushed in by mousilion, only the fay enchantress was a bit hard to convince but she changed her mind once beastmemes from Estalia started roaming in her lands

Yeah I'm thinking more which is better in a traditional melee cav role, where their job is to intercept enemy cav and win flank battles before folding in and rear charging high-tier targets in the enemy line.

If you're replacing your foot infantry and using knights as your literal anvil/line then GGs are the go. Very expensive though.

Take Omi before Hattori do. Kill Hattori ASAP. Take Iga. High rank shinobi agents serve as your scouts and killing power since you have no metsuke. Build up Kaga as a defensive backline since eventually Takeda will rule the mountains. Make sure you get the temple research to build level 2 temples. Those Naginata monk garrisons are amazing. Spread your Ikko faith through middle Japan and take advantage of whoever looks weak. All of the fertile soil helps field a lot of units and pay for ronin later.

>>170373027
there is an ini edit that removes reinforcement delay due to performance BUT its not always related to performance so you will still get it sometimes, I wish it happened in later games too, had some really ebin battles in med2 due to that bug
>>
>>170371283
Mousillon and Middenland not being in the game is a bit bad yes. Fortunately there are pretty good mods for them

MixXu has an unit pack for Mousillon that's absolutely based, and Legendary Boris Todbringer is also cool while weirdly balanced.

Kislev however would be an absolute borefest in pratice.

The only thing they have to fight at the start is Norscan Raiders and Beastmen. The only way to expand is attacking the Empire's factions or make a beeline for the Vampire Counts, and you'll take the full brunt of Chaos rape train when it comes before their stacks separate.

Kraka Drak suffers from this too.
Their faction expansion mod is also completely badass, but actually playing as them is boring as all shit, unless you're willing to go full Tree Hitler on everything or if you REALLY want to purify Norsca with just one stack.

tfw your vargheists get bogged down in melee and cant cycle up again

>It would give you reasons to carry around artillery too.
Bingo, turn the defenses into objectives to be conquered during a battle.

And even though I'd kill for them to incorporate fort/castle design as a feature and a strategic part of the game, just having a map/city editor for the game would be amazing for mods.

Even though it's about time to let us be able to fortify our position and dig in.
>>
>>170374798
>Bingo, turn the defenses into objectives to be conquered during a battle.
If I knew how to mod I would do this for shogun 2. The defenses are pitiful. I would much rather have a more fortified position for my archers that couldn't be climbed to from the outside. Make the enemy either break it down with artillery or get to it from the inside once they are in
>>
Have they done something drastic to chaos. I have played on hard pretty much allways and nowdays i just seem to struggle really bad with them. Everything just seems to rout in seconds and freaking chariots just roll around as they please no matter how much units or ranged i throw at them

I feel like this is a safer play as the empire. If I can take all of the bret lands and squash the orcs, much more defensible. Plus it's fun to free the peasants.

Alright! Time to retrain my armies, finally take back Chester, build up in Gascony and fight through this campaign.

So here are my thoughts:
First thing is to take Ireland, thats a free province essentially. I need 70 and Paris to complete the campaign.

I have three armies that are free to use, all of them pretty veteran. Retrain em, build up my fleets, the usual. The question is, where do I go?

Option 1:
>Send the Black Prince with a stack to Calais
>Take the castle, build defenses, expand towards burgundy - straight south of Calais

Option 2:
>Send another stack to Gascony
>Take the relatively undefended south of France, moving toward Italy before swinging north

opinions?
>>
>>170377192
>talks about elves
>attacks the nation that cucked elves out of their own goddess
And if you're an enemy of man and ze Lady, maybe you should get crusaded on.
>>
How difficult is the undead campaign?
>>
>>170377420
Not very, as long as you're prepared to get fucked from all sides.
>>
>>170377349
Option 1 sounds good.

Total War : Tower Defense ??

Castles are cool but if Attila taught me anything it's how tedious that business is.

A huge kill count/'heroic vic' feels like you just cheesed a stupid AI instead of pulling a win out of your ass in the field.

Should I put a hero on Balthasar's army or just keep him?

I think him buffing along with a warrior priest would be nice. Or maybe just a captain for combat power?

The elector counts are big boys, right? And they keep talking about being independent and shit. Mostly I just feel bad for the quality of life in Bret so I imagine marching south, liberating them, and improving it considerably. Once I've done that, and I have them working for decently better wages making bright pants, I'll genuinely provide them a shield, and a sword, and a breastplate, and march them north to save the rest of the empire from the counts. Then east to free the poor sods under vampire enslavement.
>>
>>170377924
so like...sole shots or what?
>>
>>170376658
it's the right thing to do. all men must be mustered to destroy the enemy.

>here you go! you're free now! you're free you poor, ugly bastards!
>take this armor and uniform, a proper sword and shield and this fancy cap for when you hit the town!
>which you won't be doing any time soon, we're about to go on a big offensive
>against literally the worst thing we've ever faced in the history of man
>if you survive, we'll dock the cost of your equipment from your pay
>retirement after just 20 years, friends!
