It is now March. Athel Loren grows restive, casting aside the austere serenity of Gaurach-DĂșin. The boughs and brambles tremble, and through the glades and hollows the spites whisper of Spring.

The Eternal Queen, recumbent in her pleasure, awaits the attentions of her rejuvenated Consort-King. The first outriding of the cycle yields rich game, youths flush with the iridescent bloom of pox and prepubescence. Cherry blossoms flutter their brief glories across the Eternal Realm. And still more. The fey giggle of a return, a recovery of what was once lost. The sacred trustees, deputized by their Queen to carry out the vulgar realities of reign, are poised to return from the Dreaming Wood.

Sisters of Twilight Soon.

>>170983280

It's clearly not outclassed. Foot Squires quite obviously destroy Goblins just by looking at those casualties.

But you know, dudes get tired from swinging their swords, and it's pretty fucking hard for 720 men to cut through 2280 goblins.

Maybe if some of those dudes were riding armored horses and using lances they could cause mass casualties on a charge and win a battle right there.

nigger, 2 weak units will almost always beat 1 strong unit in tw games, and in your case there are more than 2 per one, its because of morale shocks due to being outnumbered, being tired, being flanked and being attacked in the rear, combine that with the fact that being attacked in the rear removes all melee defense from the equation and you can see why a full stack of gobbos can beat a significantly lower number of men at arms

I would see them as wanting a Legendary Lord for each race of the Lizardmen, and Mazdamundi, Kroq-Gar and Tehenhauin are the best examples, have the best stories, ect.

Maybe, hopefully there will be Chakax in a later update but even then it's more likely Gor-Rok will be added before him.

Heck, Tetto-Eko probably has an even better chance of being added in than Chakax.

While Chakax is one of my favorite characters, he's a very obscure character in the Lizardman lore, barely saw any tabletop play due to his insane cost, and didn't even show up in End Times.

why didn't the elves just shoot at the orcs with their bows while the stout dwarves hold the line with their phalanx?

I personally would be very satisfied if the entire battle was just 15 minutes of elves peppering the orcs while the dwarves held the line. Afterwards the side of good only takes 7% casualties (close victory going to TWW logic) and Kills the captives (another 15 minutes of brutal battlefield executions, half of that just Bilbo cutting shattered Orcs throats)

Radious.

There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in total war modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic Europa Barbarorum or its medieval counterpart Stainless Steel. Radious mod will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Radious mod, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.

Uninspired and repetitive as mods nowadays are, many a disillusioned fan don’t hesitate to call out the medium as fallen. Along comes Radious mod, the latest entry to modding self-critique and introspection.

On the surface Radious mod seems like your ordinary mod which is seemingly unremarkable but whose charm is so irresistible yet so subtle, that the people who've played it cannot but fall for it, much to the frustration of some self proclaimed "understanders of strategy" who cannot see any logic to these affections. Os et labra tibi lingit, Manneia, catellus: non miror, merdas si libet esse cani.

Unlike our hack-ridden mod industry, Radious Mod uses metaphors in an excruciatingly subtle way. Sharp-eyed spectators should be able to spot the humanistic properties Radious mod displays. Radious mod is a self-aware and self-referencing work. It points out the flaws and implausibilities which often plague its genre, yet offers no alternative. Though criticized for conforming to its genre without innovation, composing the rest of the mod with uninspiring features essential in achieving what Radious mod wishes to do. While it does highlight the unrealism which plagues the modding community, it also serves to illustrate the irrationality of passion and infatuation, which which is shown by the hatred often spewed at this masterpiece. Poor Radious is left with naught, but to hunger evermore.

The team is aware of the flaws and tropes in their work, but artistic integrity has to be weighed against the harsh market. Even so, no artist wishes to make hollow trash as much as “understanders of strategy” so often may think. Behind these stories are genuine emotions, far more so than half-assed criticisms by blind followers of objectivism.

I don’t think this mod justifies an arbitrary rating of stars; it’s much better than that. It deserves a place among the highest modern philosophical works of our world. "Nietzsche, thy name is Radious."
>>
for the love of god can somebody make a bootleg LOTR mod for TWW already??
>>
>>170988354

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.

there just aren't all that many orcs around brettonian area, I had to win a few really tough battles early on, but from that point onwards its been mostly norscans that I had to fight, beastmemes (whom I am also boosting with a mods) wiped out carcassone and welves settled the ruins, so before I am going to crusade against the gobshits and orcs I'll have to fight the elves back into their forest

my toughest battle was against 5 stacks of skaeligs, actually got beaten by them and lost most of my starting units and the entire stack of Loeun, managed to defeat them eventually and even got a peace treaty so now its all good

The movies were comedy/action. The books were a serious quest with great peril. The books had pathos, the movies had breakneck pacing and still cut most of the books out for the boring action scenes that don't matter. No Tom Bombadil, no Council of Ents, no barrow downs, No caves under Helm's Deep, Sam and Frodo are the first fucking things you see in the Two Towers movie, BILBO PUTS ON THE RING AT HIS PARTY AND GANDALF IS SHOCKED. NEITHER OF THEM ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE VANISHED.

They're just not good adaptations of the books. As Christopher Tolkien said: "They Butchered my father's work for a quick buck"
>>
>>170996867
>"The enthusiasts who have read the novels over and over may notice every change but in doing so they will miss the point. Peter Jackson's movie does not challenge the novel's supremacy any more than the distinguished book illustrations by Howe, Lee et al were meant to replace Tolkien's descriptive words. Paintings, drawings, animations and at last the feature films all augment our appreciation of Lord of the Rings. Another point on this, the question that dominates my email: the adaptation of masterpieces from one medium to another is as old as literature. Most of Shakespeare's plays are re-workings of stories, poems or written history. When I moved Richard III from stage to screen, I was determined to make a good film in honour of a great play. Had I left every scene and line of the text intact in the movie, it would not have been a good one. Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, my favourite version of the Macbeth saga, distorts Shakespeare to spectacular effect. The play which inspired it remains intact." -- Ian McKellen, October 3, 2000

What a dumb faggot. Everyone imagines the story in the imagery and framing of the movies unless they are old enough to have read the books first.

Literally worthless opinion. The Lord of the Rings is the greatest literary achievement of the 20th century. The movies are little more than animated cliff notes and that so many people will never bother to read the books because the movies exist and are far more dumbed down is an absolute tragedy. It's like shooting some wonderful animal and taxidermying it. Sure more people will enjoy it, but all that made it special is gone.

>"The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away."

>"They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25," Christopher Tolkien says regretfully.

It does if that's the only version most people are familiar with. It would have been better if they forever remained books. Then at least people would benefit from the stories. As movies, they're worthless trash.

>Anyway, there are probably millions more people who read the Lord of the Rings purely because they saw the films first.

With their imaginations replaced with the pale shadows of creativity that is the movie's art direction and casting. Would they even notice how clever the Two Towers was, structurally?

If a work is no longer being adapted it means it is culturally dead. Which means then definitely NOBODY will read it because it means it is no longer important. I'd rather have lots of 'impure normies' reading a book with the WRONG IMAGES in their head (as if this even made sense) than it becomes completely irrelevant and forgotten. You'd clearly have everyone forget about the books just so they could remain untouched (and unread) rather than suffer the indignity of an adaptation.

Culture is a shared, living experience. It doesn't belong in a museum.

I entirely disagree.

They've already created the ground work for a LotR game. They have legendary lords, heroes, quests, artifacts, and magical spells. I agree that they'd have to change up the lore a bit and throw in some units, but it would be a fantastic universe to have a true Total War game in.

No, there isn't. Hobbits are a sub-race of Men and look like little fat people. Hobbits reach adulthood at age 33, but frodo didn't leave the Shire until he was 50 and he would have looked far older than 18 year old elijah wood.

>The only real description of Frodo's appearance is given only once by Gandalf in his letter to Barliman Butterbur, in which he is declared a "stout fellow with red cheeks, taller than some (hobbits), and fairer than most", with a cleft chin, a bright eye, and a perky personality.

Stout. As in big and Fat.

Yeah, it's a separate game. Idea is that it is equal to TWWH1 on launch, so 4 playable races off the bat, 1 pre-order DLC race/faction and room for expansion with a DLC policy.

Only that if you own both TWWH1 and 2, they can slot together into one mega-game.

They've been working on the expansion since pre February 2016. Plans have expanded as had the team thanks to Warhammer's unexpected success. Lead designer in November at a small game festival near CA's HQ confirmed 4 base factions and a map the size of the base game in the expansion originally it was 3 base factions and half the map size.

Crumpets confirmed for first expansion. It's been on the Steamdb since Feb 2016 and updated twice a day since sometimes 3 times a day.


Bamboo and Bagels were added at the same time as Bretonnia's announcement in November and the Promo's are no longer encrypted. I suspect those are the final minor DLC packs paid and unpaid for the base game. pic related

The Old World patch which released Bretonnia changed the names and layouts for main and story campaigns. "Warhammer campaign" under the grand campaign tab is now "Old World" campaign in the ingame select menu. No dioubt a "New World" campaign will also appear below it. Story campaigns are now seperated to its own ingame tab aswell currently Eye for an Eye and Season of Revelation.
So seperated games via how many you own is the plan for the expansions along with a "Whole world" campaign most likely for the games and DLC's you own from the previous parts of the trilogy.

They will be a bit worse than i7's for games, since they have lower clockspeeds and marginally lower IPC, unless total war has started using more than 4 CPU cores, but I doubt that's the case. You probably shouldn't be buying 8 core 16 thread processors for gaming anyway.

Yeah, I understand that the original map feels clumped but I don't think they would mess with it, it would probably require a team and an actual budget, and we know how that goes.

Also, adding more content to the old game would make the new one less appealing, unless you meant the new scale being a part of the expansion, but I can't see how it would be implemented.

Why can't they announce this shit like two days before the event. I don't want to wait.
Also Lmaoing at the people who thought the announcment was far away. It had to come this or the next month. If you look at Rome II --> Attila March or April was the only answer.

I'm curious about the price though. They always amphasise how much of an big standalone game the expansion will be. I think the will pull a jew on us and ask for 60 bucks. This would suck though since FOTS or Attila were also fully fledged standalone games and they did cost ~40.

Something shielded if you're up against something with an absolute fuckton of missiles.

It's so simple you could code it.

It's just one map with normal DLC checks for whether you can play race X or not.

Alternatively, it'd be funny to see just how fast your troops would become with five buffs of speed. Is there a limit to wizards in an army?
>>
>>171007886
They never called it an expansion. Even prerelease they said they were doing a trilogy of games. It will be $60.

The real question is what bullshit the preorder bonus will be.
>>
>>171007779
There is a thread on the Total War Warhammer forums that discovered a lot of shit in the files. All of this stuff was just recently updated in February so it is possible. Also Dark Elves need navy.

I can understand where you coming from though.

Any unit mods that add some different but not cheese/OP stuff to the Empire,

I like my doods but a little variety would be nice
>>
>>171008897
They don't need navy if nobody else has navy.
They need improved campaign systems regarding embarking/disembarking, naval travel and raiding.
But not combat.

>>171009050
Depends on the lore.
Typically before unless it was Wild, Metal or Celestial it wasn't worth it.
Otherwise it was pretty decent on a large scale.
Lore of life and lore of vampires are batshit crazy powerful.
Lore of beasts is damn good.
>>
>>171008831
skaven. they are perfect for this. They are well liked and they can be found in the old world and in the new world. So they can get the reddit crowd and the people who already bought the first game.
I won't complain though if they do the bonus like for the first game.
>>
>>171009252
>Has one of the larger rosters in the game
>Add more shit

Aside from all the damn lord/hero selections, you are greedy
>>
>>171009429
It'll be something like an alternative start position rather than an entire race
It's going to be the same content as the first game, so four races as standard makes sense
>>
>>171009429
They aren't perfect for it because people will absolutely flip their shit way more the second time, and with a race a lot more varied than WoC.

Also they promised four base factions not including pre-order, and Skaven almost has to be one of those.

>>171009601
Of course's he's fucking greedy. Why are you stating the obvious.
Everybody who mods the game in any way is greedily altering it for their own desires.
What a fucking stupid comment.
>>
>>171009760
Wow rude. If it was a Beastmen player or a WoC player who are missing some important shit it'd be completely reasonable outside god-specific units which will come. But those factions are incomplete, not good, and outside Morghur the Requirement haven't gotten much love.
>>
>>171008831

either the stronk independent amazonian wymen

or

the explorer faction
>>
There's no way that Skaven will be a preorder faction. Based on the first game, the default four factions have some playable "opposite." For example, the Orks have Dwarfs, and the Empire has Vampires. Similarly, the High Elves have Dark Elves, and the Lizardmen have Skaven. It would be pretty bizarre to lock a core faction as a DLC/preorder bonus.
>>
Elves can go fuck themselves, if it's 4 races I want Space frogs, Skaven, Ogres and kangz
>>
>>171010026
Yes WoC are obviously hurting, but it's more in god specific options; and they seem to be saving chaos divided and daemons for later release.

The main point is that either way it's still as greedy. The greed might be more entitled on one side than the other, but it's not like it's an executive demand that decides by getting more modded Empire units means the WoC won't get any.

>>171010228
Lizards could have Daemons but that's far less likely.
>>
>>171010308
That's a possibility which I haven't considered, but I find it to be very unlikely like I said. As far as I've seen, the Skaven are the foremost enemy of the Lizardmen, albeit not their ultimate enemy (chaos).
>>
>>171010278
Dark Elves are kinda okay. Their roster is neat.
Banner of the World Dragonlves can go suck stuntie dick though.

And as much as I deeply, deeply want Ogres and Kangz, as the base game all four kinda have to be together.
Hopefully we'll get good DLC for both.

Aren't skaven in lustria only the pestilens clan though?

They're constantly wrestling with Daemons, while the wars with the Skaven are more like pest control detail every century or so.
Thing is Daemons are shit to write so the Skaven conflict appears to overshadow it.

>>171015425
Only if your play style incorporates ambushing, concealment and baiting. If you can draw them into an early skirmish against a non-cavalry toting army you can draw them to the anvil, flank through and round your own troops and hit them in the rear where they're devastating. Alternatively, if you want to cheese the shit out of sieges once you've destroyed a tower or two, pushing the stalk dwarfs with free fire disabled will let them get close to the walls, close enough that those on the walls can't aim down but they can fire over the wall to the troops behind them.

In either case, they're micro heavy for what feels like little reward. If you can exploit their small number of advantages, they'll be worth it as it potentially bridges some gaps that dorfs have, but ultimately the superior black powder vs early and late VC is, well, superior. Ultimately, try your anti greenskin army with them in place of quarrelers and test it for yourself. Anything else north just use thunderers.

They were upset over the fact that CA was going to give us to her for free either way but implied that wasn't the case to get people to give away their contact information for the Make War Not Love contest.

No matter what happened we were going to get Isabella, free, but they implied at the beginning of the contest that wasn't the case and Isabella was not one of the FLC lords but instead unique content developed explicitly for the contest.

Left a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouth, so they snapped at CA community managers pretty hard.

So we can all agree that newer factions like Welfs and Bretonnia have better mechanics and overall seem more unique than the vanilla factions. Personally I think that at least the empire and dwarves need some changes although vamps and greenskins actually feel pretty good.

What would you guys do to fix/change the mechanics of the empire and dwarven factions to make them more interesting?

>>171018580
They are boring because of their battling. Not their campaign map gameplay.
>>
>>171018401
Especially tech. Their tree is rubbish.

I would (personally) really like if settlements somehow had more personality tied to them. So while their might be some limited research going on, things like capturing Nuln would unlock timed research (done in Nuln) on better guns, while capturing Marienburg would unlock (simultaneous) timed research on better trade. These little trees run concurrently.

I'm not describing this well but essentially meaning that as the empire gets bigger, more shit gets done. Some settlements might give duplicate things (so 2 big ports - say Marienburg and bourdeleaux) having 1 would give a +10% to trade, and having the second would (after a countdown of X) give an additional +5%.

Not sure how much sense that makes.

The Underway should be it's own seperate map that connects most of the Dwarf/Orc Cities and has designated entrance/exits on the overworld map. It's not a "Teleport through everything" mechanic. Any faction should be able to use them, but non underground factions suffer attrition.

Wood Elves and Beastmen should just be able to walk through dense forests normally, no special stances required, but you have to move clear through the forest otherwise your army could be unreachable by the enemy.

Honestly, I think they could just slap the WE's "Conquer anywhere but can only build small outposts outside of X" mechanic on and call it a day. Let them build a few cities in earnest, but only in Norsca, the rest are just minor outposts for replenishment.

They could also rip the Beastmen mechanic as well, as give Chaos the option of either establishing a small outpost, razing/looting, or establishing a chaos shrine that gives a fuck ton of +chaos corruption to the local province.

I think he would be interesting as a ranged legendary lord with a focus on archery and not magic, but I could see them introducing him as a legendary hero I suppose.

The only characters that absolutely scream Legendary Heroes to me at this point are Gotrek & Felix, who should be available to both The Empire and the Dwarfs (although obviously only available to one at a time).

Beastmen and Chaos house their recruiting infrastructure outside the hordes themselves, like building outposts.

Beasties set up herdstones in woods most factions have a really tough time going through with a high ambush chance. Beastmen can only use hidden stance in these woods.

After burning the Big Tree Beastmen set up a massive legendary Herdstone in its place as the ultimate Beasties hang out.

Map is a lot larger with many more villages/cities to set up or raid

North of Norsca the WoC have their hellscape fortresses they need to capture to gain the favor of the gods leading to upkeep discounts for various undivided and divided units. As well as relic hunting and various missions to please 4 gods separately, missions will gain favor for one and a minor loss for their rival so you can please all 4. Or just go hard for 1.

Technically they could be available to any "good" faction. Mercenaries and all that.

Some monument to Khorne I'm sure. But think about it.

Brass Glacier, Pillar of Skulls, Blood Mountains, Blood Marshes all giving Khornate favor and infrastructure

Chasm of Torments, Golden Monolith Slaanesh

The Silvered Tower of Sorcerers giving Tzeentch and general magic shit

The Tower of Flies, Forest of Decay giving Nurgle shit

Chaos actually has the potential to be a far more interesting territory faction than many others but the lazy Attila horde implementation makes them super boring.

Also stop making factions immune to attrition CA have them raid stance and encamp through it

Step 1: take Western Sylvania from Templehof
Optional: Take the Moot as you're heading to Oberstyre. This does mean war with Stirland, but it's not necessary.
Step 2: Take the minor settlements of Eastern Sylvania. If Mannfred took any of them, wait a bit.
Step 3: Wait for Mannfred to take a walk. On occasion, he'll declare war on Zhufbar for no reason, which is as good a time as any.
Step 4: Take Drakenhof while baldy is out. This will be somewhat difficult, but possible if there's no army sitting in Drakenhof.
Optional: Take any minor settlements in Sylvania that Mannfred got to.
Step 5: Kill the manlet when his cuck rage leads him to an easily repelled attack against Drakenhof.
Step 6: Turtle and build up.

Some people say that Mannfred can be confederated, but I didn't have the option when I did a VC playthrough. If he can be confederated, go for it if you want him as a lord.

using a flail is pretty dumb too, but at least it won't knock you right out of your saddle, see the thing with cavalry is that if its stationary than in real life its fucking shit, cavalry is only effective when its moving around, a short hammer is not a good weapon due to not just its shit reach, but also due to the fact that if you hit someone while galloping by them with a hammer, chances are that you will at best break your arm, at worst get tossed the fuck out of the saddle, there is a reason even sabre armed cavalry held the sabre in a really odd fashion, the reason is that they wanted to keep their arms intact

I 100% understand why people dislike Mannfred because he was the catalyst chosen to create Age of Sigmar (besides Sigmar himself and the retarded space dragon thing).

What I don't seem to get, is why people seemingly can never understand Mannfred's motivations for doing so.

This is man who felt the entire world had wronged him, had robbed him of something. Was it true? No, not really. He always felt he was entitled to more than he was, but the point is he FELT strongly enough about it to act.

For Mannfred, it was about winning in the end, no matter the cost. He looked upon the arrayed Incarnates at the ritual and simply saw people who had looked down upon him, spit on him, or betray him throughout his life. Mannfred made the decision to make them suffer, no matter the cost.

He got his vengeance. He also won.

I hold nothing against Mannfred lore-wise. Obviously, Age of Sigmar is a shit game so I'm pissed Warhammer got canned as a result of his actions but eh some random writer decided to pick him as the catalyst, the fuck do I care? If it wasn't him it would've been someone else. Honestly though... I probably would've done the same thing in Mannfred's position.

Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face is never the wisest decision, but god damn does it feel righteous in the moment.

Be honest with yourself /twg/, do you really hate Mannfred because of how he was written or is it because he was chosen as the catalyst to end the Warhammer Universe?

He stabbed Gelt when the good guys were winning. Gelt was holding together the spell that was preventing Chaos from winning with some other Incarnates.

Various powerful spellcasters and rulers from across the world had gathered to perform a ritual to expel Chaos and save everyone. To do this, they all had to absorb and channel an aspect of the Wind of Magic, each of which is absurdly powerful.

Most bodies could barely handle the power of one wind inside them without being torn asunder. Bear in mind that all 8 must be channeled for the ritual to work and that there weren't many spellcasters of the caliber required for the ritual left.

So when Mannfred eventually made his move and stabbed Gelt while he was channeling the Wind of Metal, he disturbed the ritual. Another spellcaster tried to take in the Wind of Metal as well as the aspect of the Wind he was already channeling to preserve the ritual but it was too much so he was ripped apart.

Thus a chain of events started leading to the end of the world (as the ritual was no longer proceeding to prevent or inhibit it).

No because the warhammer world is one of many and its a never ending cycle of death and rebirth. If the warhammer world was the only world the dark gods wouldn't need the Old Ones webgates falling apart to find it. Likewise the greatest of older civilizations become the gods of the new ones.

According to Josh Reynolds, he was ultimately killed by Settra, as a test to prove his worth to Archaon--the dragon ogre was uncontrollable, and thus of no use to the Three Eyed King. The battle lasted for four days, and flattened most of the forest around Middenheim, before Settra managed to remove the Mountain Lord's head with his khopesh, and drag it to the temple of Ulric and deposit it at Archaon's feet.

It'd be neat if preordering the New World let you play as Skaven in the Old World immediately.

>>171027271
Sigvald has the best start because you insta-siege Kislev from turn 1.

That being said, Archaon is sometimes the best to start with being the others are usually either easier to obtain or more reliable to obtain.

Sigvald just requires you to awaken the Norscan Tribes to unlock, which you'll do anyways.

Kholek takes longer to unlock because you'll need the upgraded Dragon Ogre Shaggoth building but you will always 100% unlock him after you build it.

Archaon is finicky in how he unlocks. He requires you to sacrifice a certain number of captives, but it doesn't always unlock him at 10, sometimes it takes ages before he unlikely seemingly randomly. It's annoying.

I'd recommend going Archaon just to avoid the hassle, same reason I usually start as Khazrak on the Beastmen.

It is one of the mechanics of the Chaos faction, as you attack the Skaeling and Varg throughout Norsca, occasionally you will get an option to "Awaken the Tribes", if you do so, it will create a new Norscan subfaction that are loyal to you.

To ensure their loyalty, the best bet is usually to attack the new subfaction that same turn and vassalize them.

You'll want the Norscan Tribes underneath your boot heel before you drive south, or you'll find you don't have anywhere to return to rest, and that you have absolutely no support outside of your initial stack or two for awhile.

Lizardmen.

Your Empire once spanned the entire planet, now you're living in a few last holdouts in Lustria.

The Slann that guide your people cannot be replaced and are inevitably dying out, on top of that the Chaos Shroud lulls the remaining Slann into long periods of useless sleep.

Your people only reproduce through preordained spawnings, which have become less and less numerous over the years

Skaven have made a point of fucking your shit up on numerous occasions

You are approached by CA who reveals they have done the preliminary work on developing a new Legendary Lord for each existing faction prior to the launch of the 2nd game, but realized they only have the resources to create one legitimate LL. This is due to the fact the LL will be provided as FLC, and thus isn't going to provide them with any sort of additional funding.

They want your insider knowledge on which LL is the best use of their time and resources.

They hand you a folder of the follower options...

Warriors of Chaos:
>Vilitch the Curseling

Wood Elves:
>Ariel, Queen of Athel Loren

Beastmen:
>Taurox, the Brass Bull

Dwarfs:
>Thorek Ironbrow

The Empire:
>Markus Wulfhart

Vampire Counts:
>Krell, the Lord of Undeath

Greenskins:
>Grom the Paunch

Bretonnia:
>Duke Bohemond Beastslayer of Bastonne

Remember, you can only chose one to be made into a LL. You are also unable to suggest your own options, as that would require additional preliminary work CA is unwilling to do at this time.

Which of the options arrayed before you do you pick, /twg/ ?

Choose wisely.

>>171027974
The fact that your hordes die when they are killed. And when they die they lose all the buildings. So in the early game you want to spend your time cruising Norsca and unite the tribes - don't forget to immediately attack and vassalise the tribes after liberating them - if you don't the tribes will start fighting among themselves again and you'll have to pick sides. After you unite the tribes they will provide a constant stream of stacks to be your cannon fodder. Your job is supporting that tide with surgical strikes of your hordes. Also your hordes get heavy attrition when they are close to each other. And the way Chaos economy works you'll struggle to field more than 2, maybe 3 stacks during entire game.

Wood elves are the elves that didn't really give two shits about the war of the beard and instead opted to sit in their new foresty home. Of course the dwarves fuck this relation up by constantly trying to chop down their trees for practical uses.
They're guarded at best and vengeful at worst, towards dwarves. If it wasn't for the whole tree thing they could probably get along.

Sometimes you just lose because you're Skaven" was a popular tabletop saying among Skaven players.

If you can't handle ups and downs of the RNG, you don't have to bring the Warpstone units, Skaven have an entire branch of units that are straightforward monsters that bash things.

The thing about Warpstone tech is that it's SO good(Basically WW1 technology in a Rennasaince era) that if it goes off properly you can win the game off it. The proper balance in a Skaven list is to bring just enough RNG to have a chance to roll well and win, but not so much that you're hinging you entire army on coin flips.

So I have been floating a few ideas in my head for how to make grudges not shit.

Dwarfs are suppose to be honorable to a fault. Their word is their bond, and settling grudges is suppose to be both one of their strengths and also one of their weaknesses. You should feel like you are harming yourself by settling grudges. That's sort of the point, right?

1) Increase the negative effects of each level significantly
2) Add more grudge events
3) Add some sort of random chance event during diplomacy that could add a grudge against the faction to simulate that faction somehow accidentally insulting you or your honor. This is one of the big problems with Dwarfs, right?

Just wondering if you guys had any ideas.

Cycle charging only works on units that are already engaged. If you're trying to pull cavalry out of combat with a unit that's actively stabbing them of course they're gonna get fucked up.

It's called HAMMER & ANVIL for a reason. You need an anvil for the hammer to hit.

Do Warhammer trees reproduce?

Then don't pull out, cav in warhammer has basically no impact damage, they get all their charge damage from a melee bonus that lasts around 30 seconds I think.

I would. Both that pic and those trips

>>171040830
just leave knights in until they break whatever they charged, they have the armor and for some reason CA made lances a viable melee weapon so there's barely a difference between melee and shock cav anymore.

I really hate the Shockwave shit characters do. I just wish they attacked faster with high single target damage

Why the fuck can you get the harsh trait for occupying but not for loot and occupying?

I can't decide whether I should occupy Sylvania or not as Brettonia, in my previous playthrough I decided not to occupy any lands outside of Bretonia, not even Marienburg, but this playthrough is a lot harder, due to mods even though both are on legendary, so I have taken Marienburg

I still don't intend to occupy any empire lands, but what about the vamps? would it make sense to create an enclave there? its obviously beneficial in game, but is it something brets would do in lore? conquer sylvania if invited by KFC?

No, thanks. A mechanic should be fun, not ridiculously annoying.
I think grudge missions should evolve with time. Let's say a filthy Greenskin raids your territory. For the first few turns it's just "kill him", then it evolves, it's severity increases heavily, but the condition for it's closure expands - now you can settle it by defeating any of his armies.
Early grudge settling could provide big rewards, late grudge settling would be easier, but also a lot less rewarding.
This way the mechanic would be expanded, but the player would feel that he can actually get something positive out of it by being fast, instead of just constant annoyance.

I was actually just airing that diplomacy idea, but you're right and it's rough, but I'd like to think of a way to make it fun. I mean Dwarfen relations SHOULD fall apart precisely for that reason, right?

I think lore wise they only come out during the night, their skin is actually sensitive to sunlight and without their black robes covering it up, the sun actually hurts them.

They should provide an interesting game mechanic for the player. And no one likes to be heavily penalised by something entirely out of their control.

My Bordeaux campaign got bugged and now I can't get the trident (or any quest items).

I really don't want to restart but I still want to play as Bretonnia, but there might be a fix and new content this month?

What do I do /twg/ ?

Also are the Prophetesses of any use or are you better off just using Damsels?

>Recruit Vlad after 1 turn
>End turn because he can't move
>Move him and Isabella to the border
>Recruit 3 more Bats on Isabella for air superiority, end turn
>Attack Drakenhof with Vlad (he has siege attacker which allows you to assault without siege equipment) and reinforce him with Isabella

As for the battle itself, it's quite simple: Push all land units into the gate to breach it, don't try to scale the walls and snipe out all his bats and vargheists with your superior air numbers. Once you've breached the gate, just keep fighting there until you've ground his army to dust.

CA will give it all the impressiveness of the luminark, desu. Pucker for disappointment as far as giant lasers go.

Firebreathing dimetrodons, on the other hand, will be awesome.

>>171045258

It's going to be hard to fuck up considering it's also on a big dinosaur so you can use it for stomping too

>>171045492
That particular giant dinosaur will be given all the impressiveness of the almighty cygor.

Carnosaur, on the other hand, will be awesome.
>>
>>171045629

Honestly the Bastilidon that it's mounted on is not particularly dangerous, it does have as very high armor value and acts as another terror unit though. Basically it's a big dinosaur wall.

The Carnosaur is a T-Rex with Gorilla arms. If you ever found yourself thinking "What could make a T-Rex more terrifying?" Imagine it being able to grab and tear shit up with 5 Foot Claws.

It's basically the Indomitus Rex from Jurassic World
>>
>>171046002
Carnosaur will be awesome.

Kroq-gar's hand-fired laser beam, however, will be given all the impressiveness of Durthu's literally-why spell.

I hope they will add more provinces, really dislike badlands, estalia/bordrprinces and skaelings areas.

Download Stainless Steel for a better runthrough.
Any faction that has good heavy cav (France, ERE, HRE). Also Mongols are 15/10 OP as shit.

after downloading SS I highly recommend getting either Titanium or SSHIP submod.

Don't think so, but good luck surviving several fullstacks of triple silver chevroned/double gold horse archers, spearmen, archers, trebuchets and sword militias that have vastly superior stats to anything other than maybe your most elite unit.
