Grimgor IS the best ll at fighting. The only bad thing is he can't get a mount or anything, meaning large monsters can throw him around and he can easily get bogged down by infantry.

What that anon is saying is that Skarsnik and Wurrzag are funnier.

I don't believe Old World will survive this. But i will settle as many grudges as possible.

It's possible that i will be forced to abandon this campaign and total war in general until i fix my pc

I feel that there is only like 1-2 more pieces to do for Warhammer 1. Chaos/Beastmen LL/Unit pack, and Wood Elves LL/Free LC. They have good units and variety already.

I would only buy Historical TW after TWW2, if it was Warring States or Three Kingdoms China which perfectly fits with the Legendary Lord system and kinda "hero" units doing mega work by themselves.

>>171290545
This is one of the first promises they made, that if you own all games you have a single combined map.

But the devs already said that with the sucess that they got with the first game, the standalones will now be at least the same size as the first game, so we will probably get a lot of shit with this expansion.
>>
>>171289935
They didn't say what type of content. I could easily see them releasing regiments of renown for DLC factions for free. These wouldn't technically count as "FLC" just like the added Chaos units don't because the base game alone doesn't let you use them.

Or a few more legendary lods. Wood Elves only have two right now, I would hope they get a third just like Beastmen got Morghur. If you look at Vlad and Isabella you'll notice they use the exact same animations as the Vampire hero, so adding in a lord like that to an existing faction takes a model, a texture and like 20 recorded voice lines. Pretty sure they can manage that with the amount of jewgolds they made from the DLCs's exorbitant prices.

Shogun 2 only happened because a) Samurai and b) because Shogun was their very first game to begin with.

For TWW1 they could produce dozens of LL packs and I, along with hundreds of thousands, would buy them all.

Lord packs is where DLC for TWW1 is at, including sub-faction and minor faction packs. Warhamner world has lots of charasmatic lords and thematic sub-factions to draw on that could be developed and sold well.

>>171291764
You are getting mad because you know you are wrong.

We are talking about a PATCH that includes RoR and or Lords for FREE.

Which means, FLC, that we will eventually get, because they would not add a race and not add RoR for balance reasons.

TL;DR

>Historical game well underway. Renders,animations and maps all over the studio. Focus on the main historical people in this time era right now.

>DLC team fully working on sequel DLC and free content. Possibly some extra coming to the base game other than "Old Friend"

>Warhammer team can't wait to show the sequel off as it all comes together brilliantly in campaign,mechanics and battle.

>"Black Ops" team put together to "investigate" some new DLC for Rome 2 and Attila to tide History fans over till the next game is released

We know the history game began full development in February 2017 after 13 months of pre production so expect a release date of Summer/Autumn 2019.
>>
I bet the Attila Expansion will have something to do with the Rise of Islam during the 7th century, or possibly after that when the Umayyad Caliphate is established, possibly before or after the failure of the Siege of Constantinople.

Bronze age. Gilgamesh n pharoahs n shiii

South America. Incas n mayans n aztecs with pilgrims and Red indian barbarians to the north. Plague and Gunpowder End game event with Cortez invasion.

Not mitigating his skill as a general, but the ERE survived and the numbers are vastly inflated by Muslim historians writing 200+ years after the fact. For example, the 80,000 Byzantines allegedly at Yourmok would have been the entire army including garrison troops, as both Sassanid and Byzantine armies had been gutted by the war and outbreaks of the black death. In addition, the Byzantines were really screwed when their tribal Auxiliary troops deserted early in the battle, exposing their flanks. Khalid was good, but the Arabs were EXTREMELY lucky.

>Zhang Liao led the 800 soldiers on a charge targeting Sun Quan's forces as they set up camp unafraid of Zhang Liao's small detachment. Xu Sheng and Song Qian in the front were routed after a brief skirmish, with Xu Sheng was wounded and disarmed, and Zhang Liao penetrated the camp. After personally killing several enemy soldiers and two officers, he cried out, "Zhang Liao is here!" Chen Wu, the commander of Sun Quan's bodyguards, went out to meet Zhang Liao's challenge. However, Chen Wu's unit was no match for Zhang Liao's and he was killed by Hao Zhao.[6] Sun Quan was shocked by Zhang Liao's onslaught, and Xu Sheng and Song Qian's troops turned tail when they saw their commanders being killed or fleeing, and Pan Zhang killed two deserters.[7] Ling Tong, just arrived on the field, led Sun Quan to a hill and ordered his men to use the long jis to a form a defensive line before he went down to fight Zhang Liao. At the bottom of the hill, Zhang Liao shouted for Sun Quan to come down and fight him, but Sun did not dare to move. When Sun Quan saw that the situation had become more stable and Zhang Liao was only left with slightly more than a hundred men, he ordered He Qi to surround Zhang Liao's men. Zhang Liao fought fiercely and succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement. When his remaining men, still trapped inside, shouted, "Has our general abandoned us?"[9] Zhang Liao plowed back through enemy ranks and rescued his men. Sun Quan's men were stunned by Zhang Liao's valour and did not dare to stand in his way.

this is an advantage, not a disadvantage. a system such as at that of the Sassanids in which only a small proportion of the men are soldiers versus a nomadic system in which basically everyone is a soldier who isn't a child, old or a female results in a much greater availability of troops. also fighting soldiers who have literally just marched 2000 miles and winning from an exhaustive war that they lost isn't much of an accomplishment. he didn't conquer a second empire.

Well, that depends on the area. Considering the size of Africa, if there was to be a 'Kangz Total War' it'd have to be limited in size otherwise shit would get extraordinarily boring crossing loads of inhospitable jungle, deserts, etcetera.

I personally would go for the West African coast, border stopping just north of Timbuktu if you wanted to add Maghrebi invaders for variety. Set it during the 18th century when the slave wars were just starting, and you could have some European slave ports on the coast. A rump state of Songhay hoping to reclaim imperial glory, the ascendant Bambara seeking to dominate the river Niger, jihadi Massina coming from the east... Actually this is kind of interesting. I'm keeping this idea for myself.
>>
China has no appeal to me, however, I don't want to be in the same category as TWers who shun TWW just because it's fantasy.

TW has always been about the battles/tactics and a comfy campaign map to give those battles context.

If CA does well on both accounts than I could live with just about any setting, from Asian history to historical/ mythological bronze age, renaissance, etc.

I think the best way to go would be to test the waters with campaign DLC for lesser known settings tagged onto the more "mainstream" periods. That way they could gauge interest without investing in a whole game, and act as an introduction to those who don't know their history.

Racial Identity and in-group preference. Chinese people naturally care about Chinese history and want to play games about Chinese kingdoms & factions.

Likewise English CA should focus on White historical periods that its White-majority playerbase find interesting. Of course when Whites express racial identity or racial in-group preference it's racism, a thought crime, so if you don't preorder TW:China and buy all the DLC then you are a confirmed racist nazi who voted for Brexit & Trump.

I think that'd be a good idea. There's no doubt that a market wouldn't exist for Total War : West Africa or whatever the name would be at this time and any major project would collapse in on itself. But, like how Shogun: Total War managed to be a success through the influence of such works as Clavell's Shogun, Akira Kurosawa's films, etcetera etcetera, testing the waters with a limited DLC of, say, Empire 2 Total War would be a good idea to test and prime the market.

Although I imagine /pol/ would utterly lose their shit with outrage that Africa is getting representation in the digital world. Which could be a good thing/a bad thing. On the one hand, free marketing. On the other hand, their outrage, negative review bombing, and gloating will mean that anything less than a complete domination of the charts will leave a sour taste about the whole of the concept entirely.

Lastly, Eagle Force in the badlands helped Tilean forces overrun a Green capital*
The Tileans rolled in with 8 Siege Towers, I guess they like to be absolutely certain
Meanwhile, Estalian forces continue the siege of Ekrund
Majority of Greenskin forces have concentrated themselves up around the former capital of the Border Princes, I think they have at least 9 stacks up there
Durthu is migrating south, having had enough Varg for a lifetime
Orion is walking deeper into the eastern mountain ranges, freezing his leaves off
Eagle Force will probably swoop across to the south east and smash the weaker settlements
Overall a fun time tonight, really have enjoyed the Durthu campaign so far, I should probably upgrade my oak and finish that whole business but I want to beat up the Greenskins some more and help Dwarfs return to their former glory

They were created by the Old Ones to help shape the world.When the Old One died or fucked off due to chaos, they tried their best to follow their will.
They are essentially good as their ultimate goal is to drive out Chaos, but they would like everybody to be in their place as well. All Elves in Ulthuan, all Dwarfs in the Worlds Edge Mountains,etc because thats how the Old Ones left it.

But on the other hand i just realized i dont like the ork rooster at all.

So now im thinking about starting an empire Vh campaign.
But im at an loss about how to expand before chaos arrives. Should i just pacify Sylvania and and turtle up along the mountains while helping the other empire states fighting off chaos? Or should i go on the offense and solidify the empire beneath my banners as fast as possible?

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material... But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps? Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme. And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to. Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.

If you are playing VH you might as well play legendary, the only difference is in manual saving and pausing during battles.
In my Legendary Empire campaign I confederated Talabecland, retook Stirland from Vampires, conquered Wissenland, took down Vampires, then took Averland, that's all I had time to do before Chaos arrived.
You might have noticed that there is a huge river flowing through the Empire called Reik, it takes a turn to pass through it without crossing and AI absolutely abhors doing that. So usually Chaos will clean up everything to the North and Northwest of Reik before trying to cross the river at Talabecland (main Chaos force), Altdorf or Marienburg (Norscan fucking shits). If you have lightning strike you can catch Chaos stacks there at Talabecland and easily destroy them. Ambush also works, but it's a lot less reliable.
First thing you have to level on all of your heroes is Honest Steel, it makes your infantry core great. Then go for lightning strike, then whatever.
As far as units go the best early game Empire unit is Swordsmen - with Honest Steel they will be a mainstay in your army for the entire game. Their only weakness is lack of AP damage, but that's what Greatswords and Gunners are for.

If you are making a historical total war with a heavy focus in personalities a shogun 3 would be pretty amazing considering the strong personalities of the different daimyos. You can easily expand the world to korea and part of china and make it into an asia total war. Even more options of dlc for more unique LL for factions with different focus and special units. Even though we wont have a tw shogun 3 ever it would be such a safe bet you can easily make it a trilogy or even stand alone campaings like beastman and welfs in tww.
I would pay more for an non european total war though ... no matter the theme

Empire is the most well-rounded faction. It has very strong units in every unit type except ranged so you can experiment and find out what you like. A generic army setup is 3 of that rocket artillery, 2 steam tanks, 4 halberd demigryphs and the rest is greatswords with 2-3 units of ranged thrown in against harassing fliers or missile cav. Bring a mage if you like.

You should wreck everything with this. Ditch what you don't like, add more of what you like. Some people don't like artillery at all, some barely use cav and go dorfmode, others think steam tanks are borderline cheating. So just try things out.

As soon as you start the game open the diplomacy window and look at traits of other imperial provinces. They are randomized every time, so you'll have to adapt to different diplomatic conditions. The one most beneficial to you is "Underdog" - it means that the province will gladly confederate with you as long as you are stronger than them. Be aware that confederating a province will give you a huge debuff for 5 turns - heavy reduction in public order and whopping -50 to your relations with other imperial provinces. So be careful who you confederate, sometimes it's easier and faster to just conquer them. Also if you confederate Middenheim you'll get based man Boris as a legendary hero. They almost always spawn with imperial distrust trait, but after Chaos runs a train through their assholes they become willing to confederate.
>>
>>171308851
>except ranged
Nah, I'd say that the Empire's infantry are the exception. Greatswords and halberds are pretty cost-efficient, but they'll lose against the other factions' late-game units.

I find that this depends on whether or not you're playing in single player or multi. In my empire campaigns my infantry have no real problems stopping upper tier units like black orcs and chosens but that is likely due to unit and general upgrades acquired over the course of each playthrough.
>>
>>171306989

Personally im a tall over wide guy

Reikland + Marien , Wissenland and Aver through confed, Sylvania mostly to get rid of undead fucking shits and their corruption. Tabel is good because it's a yuge province with a capital in the middle.

You can pretty much turtle this and wipe out Chaos in Tabel/Middenland territory.

- walls everywhere, no exceptions
- Norsca will focus on Mburg every time, let them die to your walls and a cheap army, don't bother sailing north
-early armies are swords spears xbows mortars and optional cav
- after that I more or less go right to GS Halbs HG/xbow and steam tanks. 2 STs parked in front of your army will allow counter charges or volley fire + nice clumps to drop spells into
-Get your Lord or Captain flying asap. The best way to deal with doom cannons is a Captain on a Griffin
-jade wiz with life bloom/earth blood/awake my wood is all the magic you need
-FLANKs, protect them. The most dangerous thing on the enemy line isnt their Lord, the giants, or that doom cannon , its knights and chariots tearing you a new asshole
-WH blocking armies is key, WPs allowing you to massively replinsh in 1 or 2 turns is key, you can get silver or gold level recruits with ECs in the region + tech

Lots of other stuff

Ahhh but at what experience levels? I find that greatswords with some chevrons, say 3 silver or 1 or 2 gold will beat black orcs more often then not. Might be due to the orc army in general being weakened by gunfire and cannons first obviously, but I have had times where this was not the case and they still beat the enemy down provided that they had a fair bit of experience on them.

you can pirate the dlc but you should play it in offline mode. It requires creamapi, valve doesn't ban your account unless you use that in a VAC protected game.

It's detectable but devs can't ban your steam account, they can only ban you from playing online. I heard Square enix banned a bunch of people for unlocking some shit in hitman and I think payday2 does it too.

Slann Relic Priest edition includes a nice box, which looks like a large glyph plate, an art book, a metal case for the discs, a map of lustria, a thread wrist band with colorful feathers in it (dubbed the Feathered Band), a necklace with something that looks like crocodile/alligator teeth in it (couldn't tell if they're real or plastic) and an Obsidian Ritual Blade - a kind of knife that looks like it was etched from black stone. Not sharp enough to cut, but you could probably stab someone to death with it if you tried.
You also get a free DLC if you preorder.

It is now March. Athel Loren grows restive, casting aside the austere serenity of Gaurach-Dúin. 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.

How do you deal with Wood Elves as....anyone really? Everytime I fight against them its this incredible slog. You can almost never take the fight to them in Athel Loren because they never leave the forest with their insane garrisons, and once they do its when they've fully confederated.

Also, how difficult would it be for CA to implement a Lord skill reset for when you confederate? The choices the AI make are usually pretty retarded.

And what if there was a "smart charge" feature for infantry, where they would move to engage and enemy if they came into a certain distance. What I mean by this would be like if you had Elfblaster Volley guns, or handgunners, your infantry would move to intercept when the enemy came close range, and they would fall back?

bretonnians dont guard the forest. the reason that tree hitler cant kill the elves is because they have their goddes ariel protecting them

the fact that the tree people at first played nice and let them stay only for the elves to bring trouble is the main reason they hate the elves durthu was basically the guy to bring them in and used to be tree bro instead of tree hitler

I just went around the Karak Norn and captured Grimhold.. When that was about to be done the dwarf cunts were sitting at Karak Azgaraz and ready to smash it, so I zoomed up and grabbed Karak Norn..
They banged themselves bloody against Karak Azgaraz and occupied it.

Two turns later they were wiped from the map and I had full control of the whole province.

This is where the hard part started as Empire, Tilea, Border Princes, Argwylon, Wood Elves, Karak Hirn, Clan Angrund, Karak Ziflin and Marienburg all declared war in the space of 1-2 turns.

Weird question but... between Vlad and Mannfred who is the nicer guy? I mean like, I get it, they are vampires, but is one of them like a torturing psychopath and the other isn't, or are they both? Do they just like to kill humies or wot.

Vlad

Vlad's probably the closest a benevolent dictator that you'll get, at least in comparison with the rest of the vampires.
>>
>>171322203
Vlad was beloved by his people because he wasn't a completely terrible despot and sylvania prospered under his rule.

Mannfred has an inferiority complex and can't do anything right.

>>
>>171324032
The town in the picture for Old Friend on the FLC chart is an empire town.
>>
>>171322203
Pretty much 3 main eras.

>Vlad
Work for him in life or slave for him in death. As long as you bent the knee he was decent to you, and truly did hate the garbage rulers of his time. So much so that if it wasn't for Magnus the Pious Vlad conquering the Empire would've been a mercy. His rule was probably the best time to be a peasant in Sylvania post-Evil Dead meteor.

tl;dr you would rather want to live under Franz or Leon but given the clusterfuck of the setting, Vlad is legitimately a good third choice.

>Mannfred
Scheming vampire fuck who gives no shits about mortals other than they're spooked into obedience. Life under his as a peasant is mostly that of any generic vampire movie, scary and barely functioning.

Unless Altdorf was just burned down and Sigvald is gorging on baked Bretonnian damsel earlobes you probably would want to live anywhere else.

>Konrad
Insane shithead whose epic plan was to kill an elector count then send them back as a zombie to have a literal flesh puppet on the throne.

Might as well take your chances with the local Orc warlords at that point. If you can learn how to make fungus beer it would probably be safer than living under Konrad.

There's no source as VS has been particularly tight lipped about it. But there's a 80% chance it's Empire. Most likely, Boris and Middenland being made a unique faction.
>>
>>171324421
Adding such an important character this late would be fucking stupid. He'll be an endgame boss character in the next game or more likely the one after that.

why would you want that weakling in the game when you can already witness true power?
>>
>>171324651
That's a real big maybe followed by another big maybe of "well another orc or goblin not kill you."

The biggest factor in not getting gibbed by an orc warboss is to not be annoying. If you're some scraggly humie git with no inherent use, on an intrinsic level for not being green and orky you're already being annoying. And Grimgor has a lower tolerance for that shit than most.

Vampires operate in bloodlines. Mannfred was given a drop of Vlad's blood with the Blood Kiss, so mechanically he's now related to Vlad since they're quite literally of the same blood.

I won't make it. The Old World won't survive. Every single battle i fought was a pyrrhic victory. Stirland mysteriously disappeared at turn 18 and there is 30% chaos corruption in this province. Torabo in Estalia is razed, and Bilbali belongs to Carassonne but Foot Enchantress never fought with !NotSpain. Its turn 19 and chaos corruption in Estalia is at 47% and gain 5% every turn. I would lose this battle with gobbos had it be not for the ghosts. Only grudge thrower, Belegar and his ancestors survived to the end and each one of them chased 4-5 enemies until entire enemy army routed. I wanted to at least have 1 full army leave everything and fuck off to conquer Karak Eight Peaks, but there are greenskin rebels next to my capital and i don't have the army to destroy them. And even if i miraculously would defeat them, there is no way in which i can raise an army to either stop Skarsnik or take Karak Eight Peaks.

Isn't that basically what the advisor does? I mean, granted he's a servant of Tzeentch, but he's still human in the end. I think that means greenskins, even fucking Grimgor Ironhide, the most brutal of them all, would spare and keep around a puny 'umie around if he was useful enough.

Also when you think about it, that's essentially what happens with giants. They're tough, so they make them honorary greenskins.

Aztec lizards riding dinosaurs lead by space frogs.

Basically serve as exotic temple guard against other facions raids for El Dorado-type cities of gold in not-Central & South America's not-Amazon rainforest. Lore wise they are a low-agency, lazy and undynamic force (for good) in the world.

But once you the player take control of them as Supreme Space Frog Commander Pepe, the option to lead them on a global lizard jihad and impose scaly sharia on the world atop a giant dinosaur seems a formula for fun. The terror onslaught of dino-blitzkrieg on the warm-bloods.

>>
>>171343084
Yeah they are about the only faction that it bothers me they can't occupy anywhere. I think realistically the Empire could occupy Dwarfen holds by keeping the majority of the population and appointing a Dwarfen leader, but I like not having to worry about wanting to conquer them.

You're literally arguing that desert Mongols were glorious because they hit divided, weakened empires just like the real mongols

They were hardened troops with talented, hardened generals but they were also striking right at the right time to make huge gains.

You're retarded, stop posting

Great Zimbabwe was fucking nothing, it was 15,000 noblemen and their households spread over a 20 mile radius in order to be close to the king's royal religious-fortress to curry his favor.

Great Zimbabwe was not a great city or a great empire, it was a nignog tribal confederacy not worth mentioning except by the Portuguese who tried to claim that Great Zimbabwe was the Empire of Monomotapa (Mutapa, for EU players) which was only referenced on their treaty they claimed to have signed in the 1600s giving them protectorateship over what is today Zimbabwe and Zambia, connecting Angola and Mozambique.

The British told them to fuck off and hand over the clay.

WRONG. You've had your mind poisoned by High Elf propaganda. Malekeith and Morathi are the true heirs of Aenerion, his son and wife who ran his court at Anlec when he achieved his greatest victory over Chaos and sacrificed himself to save the Warhammer world. They respresent his best traditions and rightful sovereignty over Elves and all the world.

The problem with Elves is that they have a tendency to go soft, their culture was not hardened enough to face the challenge of Chaos. Aenerion changed that; at Anlec he transformed Elven society into a struggle of the fittest, a Nietzchean contest of Khainite cults, to test each Elfs Will to Power. A society where Elves are made hard and readied to fight and defeat Chaos.

As Aenerions son raised at Anlec, Malekeith represents these best quality of Elves. He was the Elven general who conquered the Old World, there we no losses to Dwarfs or failed wars under his generalship. Only a continual stream of Elven successes and conquests.

Other Elven Kingdoms, who failed to understand what Aenerion had achieved at Anlec or appreciate what he needed to do to achieve his defeat of Chaos, shunned Aenerions court. Out of cowardice they turned their back on the ways of Anlec, the ways mastered there to defeat Chaos. They launched a successful theft of the throne from the court of Aenerion, to the heirs and ways of the cowardly Elves who hid south, away from the front lines in the battle against Chaos. They are the High Elves of today, totally unequiped for the realities of a world infested with Chaos, an empire in retreat, having lost half their kingdom to stunties, having entire kingdoms overrun by goblins, and lacking any of the dynamicism they held when Aenerion and Malekeith ran their empire.
>>
>>171345060
If you're squimish about how Malekeith seized his chance to rule, then it shows how you are not equipped to command in a world threatened by Chaos. Hard times require hard men, and perhaps you should play a few hours of CK2 to understand the necessity of palace coups and murder plots in governing even peaceful realms, let alone ones challanged by the existential threat of Chaos.

The Dark Elves are the heirs of Aenerion and Anlec, the only force hard and vnderstanders of magic enough to defeat Chaos, like they did at the beginning of the Warhammer world. Will to Power and Elven supremacy are the only forces that can save the Warhammer world.

Malekeith will complete the system of German Idealism.
>>
>>171343084
While they can be found anywhere Greenskins don't have any sort of history of taking over and keeping any of the human settlement they take, while goblins have been known to often occupy dwarven holds (though orcs don't really seem to do so). If anything they should have some sort of horde mechanics.

I'm torn. For one you could have more units, right? Some intermediate shit. Hell even have peasants like every other TW that nobody ever uses, then something to bridge the gap between swordsmen and greatswords. maybe armorless shock troops, super heavy armor spears. All that shit. But then they have less time to focus on getting the game right in the first place. Worse pathfinding, troops not working right, that shit.

I just don't know.

While he did ignore those strategical elements, he's totally right that TWWH is lacking in terrain variety. Most battles are fought on plains with a smattering of trees, and that's just a waste of the game's potential. For an example of an ideal map, or at least something in the right direction, you can look at Gorduk Canyon. There's a significant amount of impassable terrain which leads to some very unique scenarios. Again, I can't say the same for the current roster.

As a devote Sigmarite I was thrilled at playing Volkmar when it was announced. Unfortunately his campaign bonuses don't seem so great, based around Flagellants, which I see little use for.

The Heros and generals in warhammer are a bit much. I wish they'd find a nice balance between being individually useful and having bodyguards again.

Flatulence are arguably the best low-to-mid tier anvil for the Empire. They're unbreakable, high DPS frenzy machines that come in unit sizes only slightly smaller than orcs. They can be spread over a huge area and still keep deep ranks like zombies, but hit harder than state troops. While they hold everything in place, you quickly use your hammer to smash down. I will readily admit flagellants can't stand up in prolonged combat, nor against anything designed to shred unarmored infantry (i.e. fucking all ranged fire) though. They can't be used to dorfmode in the corner, unless you're fighting VC or an all-melee build.

Fucking hell I managed to hold that with an emergency Life Sorceress and a memespam of Battle Pilgrims with a couple Reliquaes. I swear Battle Pilgrims are the greatest unit in the Bretonnian infantry roster.

What are some very strong End-game anti-chaos armies for Bretonnia, or some in general good anti-everything forces?

My current new favorite is a infantry heavy force of Pilgrims, Grail Reliquaes, poison arrows, 2 magic trebuchets, and 4 Knights of the Realm.

I am way to excited right now /twg/

Is there a way to remove the balance of power bar?

Unless there's a mod, no. Just ignore it as best you can, and make sure to have a balanced army with counters for whatever you fight.

Of course, you could always figure out what units auto-resolve favors and use those instead...

This early game is fucking bullshit with all the beastmen running about

I'll bet $10 someone can't find a better auto-resolve army than half Free Company Militia, half crossbows, and 2 mortars.
