Man I don't know if I should play Vlad or VC

Pros for Vlad

Cool royal couple I feel like serving
Slightly nicer than Mannfred
Not a manlet

Pros of VC
Get to play Ghorst for easier self insertion
Better campaign color
Full evil

Hmmm

Vampires have to lose a war; when they're practically dead is when you have best luck. It's not impossible to get them to confederate when it's you that got them to that point either.
also if they have any military alliances they count towards total remaining strength

You see all those infantry there? They engaged Marienburg's first infantry army in a complete envelopment while the crossbowmen whittled down the pistoliers. Marienburg's second army arrived some time later, but things were mostly decided by that stage.

Can someone explain to me why this was the 'wrong' move that resulted in my army being absolutely routed? Does Warhammer somehow penalise me for completely surrounding my enemy? Even my veteran greatswords BARELY broke even against regular swordsmen.

>>171444717

depends on the faction you play as. if you're brettonia, beastmen, chaos warriors, wood elves it's a straight forward march and slaughter with encamping on the side.

as the others you need to go into either raiding or encampment to keep the attrition from brutally fucking your armies over.

then you just march and destroy the norscan shit villages one by one

Layout and UI is utter shite.
Low effort shit is upvoted and given visibility.
Opinions are given weight with upvotes, become sacrosanct.
Reddit is much more susceptible to shilling, the whole site is run by shills.
4chan is more self aware and cynical, reddit thinks its shit dont stink. They're mainstream and family friendly.

I still visit the damn site everyday because I'm an idiot with an internet addiction and it's probably the best way to get news relevant to a topic. I would never have known about it if not for 4chan talking about it so much.

Okay so two final questions for you

1) Does Manny have to have Ghorst recruited and alive for me to be able to get Ghorst if I have confed?

2) So should I just beat the fuck out of him and then try to press for confed? I really thought they had to have a positive opinion of you.
>>
>>171446653
LL's have to be recruitable for you to get access to them when you confederate
but they dont have to be alive; you can completely wipe out their armies and still get all their legendary lords

though you should be warned that if you want to confederate with mousillon the red duke isn't legendary (I dont think)

DLC, Regiments of Renown come from the Grim and the Grave and the King and the Warlord- Empire, Vampires, Dwarfs and Greenskins.

They're supposed to be "like mercenaries" and I think some of the units are named after "dogs of war" units from the tabletop which were supplemental mercenary units certain factions could take.

Only 4 factions have RoRs because noDLCforDLClol

For whatever reason CA refuses to just reskin some units for the other fuckers

>CA are just pumping out endless DLC

Its just not fun. Sure you get a kick out of trying some new units, but 95% of fights are auto-resolvable with no reason to fight because either you are far too weak or far too strong.

And every war can be summed up as
>Attack neighbor/attacked by neighbor
>20v20 or 40v40 stack fight that dictates war
>If you win, nothing but endless peace offerings as you take all his land
>If you lose, rebuild army in 3 turns and try again, more likely to abuse auto resolve and stack units you know do well in its calculation to beat the AI

There is so much shit here that needs to be fixed, most of it caused by the god damn auto resolve.

Which makes up maybe 5% or less of the total battles you get in a campaign

Which means in 20 hours or so of playing a campaign you get maybe 4 or 5 real fights that are actually fun, and the rest is either you stomping or getting stomped. And those 4 or 5 real fights are likely in the first 20 turns when you're just getting started and the choice between a few more units or a building is important, as opposed to the next 120 turns which no such choice exists.

Been playing Beastman mini campaign for 50 turns, the horde mechanic is pretty fresh and fun.
My strategy has been taking every herd growth bonus to build vital buildings. It was slow at first but things have been more smooth when I get cygors and minotaurs.
Still, going around with just 1 herd does not speed up progress much, is there anyway to improve income to support a second herd?
>>
>>171456494
Raid and pillage places

You're not supposed to have positive income, you support more hordes by raping more places
>>
>>171456494
There are a few buildings/tech that reduce upkeep and recruitment cost. I just finished the campaign myself but never bothered to recruit a second herd, just relying on lightning strikes/ambushes.

That said i had a huge cash reserve, so i think that at a certain point you can stop worrying about income and just rely on sacking to pay the bills.
>>
>>171455930
why is the reikland runefang even a thing? It just exists to get replaced with ghal maraz almost immediately given the item stats and difficulty of actually finishing the quest. you can't even give it to another lord
>>
>>171456494
get the lord skill to reduce unit upkeep+ high level buildings and the -growth -upkeep one when your ready to build elite armies. it's not a bad idea to keep your second horde, even if you just hide it somewhere with just the lord to get it growing

Alright, so its about raiding and sacking + reducing upkeep to maintain army. This is pretty much how I thought Greenskin was supported to be, not having any self income and have to raid to survive
Also how does chaos corruption helps Beastmen?
>>
>>171457182
i don't think it does, if it actually gives an increase to unit replenishment i didn't notice in my campaign. i guess you can get that minuscule amount of attrition on the ai armies

you don't even have to raid if you stack upkeep reduction desu, bestigor's cost like 50 chaosbux a turn with everything skilled/built

>>
>>171458795
FCM is the best unit you can spam for ez autoresolve wins all the way up to the main chaos invasion, when armour becomes a problem. Autoresolve assumes that they can get off way more volleys than they actually can.
Pistoliers, probably, I never bothered to try them out.
The biggest change for the Empire in the early game is the fact that Brettonia starts at war with Marienburg and it's likely that by the time you take Reikland they'll already be sieging it. Also Vlad being a separate faction all but guarantees that he'll be invading Stirland as soon as possible.

CA REALLY needed to think about the logistics of catching enemy armies more. When they're so fatalistic about actually protecting their assets but know exactly how to get three armies to pile on to one place at the same time from nowhere when attacking, it's constantly frustrating to have no way to catch out the enemy similarly. They can see through the fog of war, but you can't.

At the VERY least, my French friend, they definitely move their armies one tiny step at a time, re-checking what that army can see every time, while still moving along the most efficient path to get to their destination. The second an enemy army comes into view, they react to it.

I still think they just know where everything is all the time.

It's funny how playing the campaign teaches you almost nothing about the tactical layer of the game. Shit's not so easy when you can't stack piles of optimal units and roll your face to victory.

A moment of doubt in Wurrzag's mind is whisked away as he gets a closer look at the Tomb Kings enormous staff. He feels a tingle in his belly, his fingers move like the legs of a forest spider in excitement. He screams out that the orc who gives him that staff will be rewarded with a year's supply of goblins.

Can someone tell me why damage dealing magic is so all over the place? Gelt's basic ability barely deals any damage and hits after a decent delay while something like Viletide (Beastmen wizard LL) can wipe out half of a unit entirely without much of a delay. Final transformation (Gelt's vortex magic) barely deals any damage while costing a fuckton.
What's up with this? Are the devs ever going to fix this shit?

I don't think they'll ever fix it. There is a few other great damage spells in the game, but as a rule of thumb buffing and debuffing ones are almost always better. Especially the ones that sap morale.

The boys respond immediately by charging the Tomb King. As they draw closer to him eldritch energies crackle from his orb and the sky changes colour. This seems to be a powerful entity, indeed. Yes, the allure of goblin dinners for a year is strong in the mind of the oft-starved savage orcs and they go for the charge.

Because they are staunch traditionalists who'd never ever use technology that is so prone to failure like a steam tank (even if it's not reflected in game).

And they are far too proud to ride some smelly animal like goats.

While he felt no pain, the Great Orc Shaman felt his strength rapidly seep from his body. Looking up, he sees the full figure of the Tomb King, furious at the insult just delivered. Inside his hefty skull, Wurrzag hears a piercing, harrowing scream that nearly incapacitates him. With skeleton warriors swarming all around him, the shaman decides that he will postpone his acquisition of this ancient artifact.

How are people employing their cavalry when each one gets like five hundred kills? Even with Bretonnia micro managing my lines, attacking the softer archers and hitting into flanks against non anti-large always seems to end in far fewer kills than I'd hope. And I always have this feeling that cavalry is far to sticky, I can get them into a mess but once they've charged I just can't get them un stuck to charge again.

Trading is ass backwards in Warhammer. Apparently to estabilish a trade route your capitals need to be connected by road or sea. The road cannot go through any other faction's territories (even if they're friendly). However, when your territory changes the trade routes are not updated and for some reason Dwarfs can trade with Empire as soon as they're encountered, even if there's 7 different factions in the way.

There are very few variations for head/body/weapon+shield. If they'd make a customizer they'd want to put actual effort into it. And if the current variations are enough for you, then you can probably mod/save edit your favorite dime a dozen nobody lord to look the way you want.

Also placeable forts/castles. I think it was Stainless Steel that upgraded the forts to castles, but made them cost 2000 florins. That was awesome, surrounding your realm in an impenetrable ring of stone and steel by castling up all the major river choke points. The later games could really have benefited from this system, since it would actually slow down some of the horde spam.

Actually they are supposed to be in the lore, kind of like a dryad kind of girl, really wild in the bed and hella nice in behavior, kind of the total opposite of the beastmen in general.

The reason they go rape women of others race is probably because the ratio of male to female is quite uneven. Would make sense for the barbarian-like race of the beastmen, that exist mostly to war constantly and little else.

Dunno, they probably just liked to use him to showcase grimdarkness of the setting or something. As far as pure suffering goes there's no one who's got shittier deal than him. Got killed, revived, tortured and chained to a demon's banner, freed himself, lived normally for a while, then the End Times came and he died in the most excruciating way possible - after being captured and brutally tortured by Vampires - to the point where the only reason he didn't die was because of dark magic, his body was used to revive Nagash, who slowly and extremely painfully overtook his body.

Then just go fuck them up with a single unit of cavalry (they can move far further than infantry by their own in a single turn) if you didn't know, or go to Bavaria or whoever it is you're fighting with and destroy them, the troops will automatically dismiss if they no longer have a nation to answer to. Unless its leaded by a royal (which isn't the case as far as I can see) it will just disappear.

Don't go upfront againt the enemy, especially if they are of equal force or greater. Since you have no truly permanent emplacement, you can simply harass them until they become weak enough that a direct assault or pillaging upon their city is feasible without massive losses. Also be opportunistic, you see a some factions at war with one another? Go raid their undefended cities while they are occupied, garrisons can't do much against. Ally yourself with nations that are in a precarious situation, who care if they get destroyed in the meanwhile, the other faction cities will be undefended. Rinse and repeat.

>>171490847
Ambush stance is extremely useful, but getting an actual ambush battle is pretty rare. Even if you aren't discovered and an enemy walks over you there's a chance he just resists your ambush and you'll have to fight him normally.
>>
>>171490993
It's more useful for getting armies to actually walk into your movement range and stop them skirting constantly around the edge.
>>
>>171490847

I'd venture the vast majority of TW players have literally never used the ambush stance,
>>
>>171490925
Are you fucking kidding me

I just exited game from my 390 turn empire campaign and throughout all of it I only fought 7 ambush battles and 3 of them were set-up and conditioned specially by me meming an army around while not engaging the enemy trying to get an ambush

Even if you get to the right place, and have a hero with ambush success chance retainers, it's very hard to get going.

And then Grimgor headbutted him, breaking his helmet and his third eye thingy. That stayed in End Times too, except this time Archaon unleashed his super speshul demon living inside his sword and decapitated Grimgor with it, admitting that he couldn't best him in single combat.

Well, the whole "kicking Archaon in the balls and headbutting him" was a part of a ridiculously bad event called Storm of Chaos. It was supposed to be The End Times before the End Times, and GW decided to involve the community with the event - they'd run tournaments, receive results and write the lore according to the results, update the maps and so on. The basic premise was simple - Chaos is invading everything, the world is fucked.
But a very big problem soon came out - Chaos - the big bad of the entire event, was thoroughly defeated in every single battle they fought. So GW, being lazy jews, simply ignored the results or wrote those losses off as "justasplanned" gambits, sometimes they wrote off towns that Chaos couldn't take as "lol Skaven invaded from the sewers, killed everyone there and then ran away, Chaos moves on", the whole event was a big pile of shit and a big fuck you to the community, mostly because GW had a plot idea in mind and did their hardest to ignore the community interaction that they promised.
So, somehow GW cheated Chaos up to the gates of Middenheim before community negative reaction grew so big that they had to wrap the entire thing up. So they wrote the silliest excuse for the whole thing to end - during the climactic final battle between Archaon and the Empire Grimgor rushes in, kicks Archaon in the balls, headbutts him, proclaims himself the best and then runs away. It was just a way to spit in the face of the community that didn't want none of their shit.

no but you have to think that the end times are just a huge smelly fart in the face of your customers.

saying "fuck you, we'll end it here and how we want it, if you like it or not"

also they pushed Archaeon way too much, giving him a bigger plot armour than any Star Wars main character

Heh. I remember them doing something similar with the Lord of the Rings tabletop spinoff they had. Supposed to follow the War of the Ring, but the problem was that all of the evil factions kept getting their asses kicked at every turn. So Gondor and the Elves ended up winning literally everything and shitting all over Sauron. Was pretty funny.

Spirit Leech is a really strong single target damage source. If Azhag is the only caster in your army feel free to spam it on every enemy character you see, the damage really stacks up over time. I wouldn't invest too heavily in magic, though, since Azhag is still a combat character at heart.

Tripcodes according to the FAQ are merely a means of verifying your identity, there is nothing about where or when it is appropriate to use one mentioned either in the FAQ or the rules.

While other Traits would still be shit, the "Likes X" could easily be fixed with a name change.

"Overconfident against Greenskins" or "Disregards Vampires". Something to indicate this character is disdainful of the faction and isn't completely prepared because he thinks it'll be an easy fight, making him more likely to rout if it looks like that isn't the case.

If you want to change it further for a better experience, make it so you get that trait if you win too many easy victories in a row, with a chance of losing it with a Phyrric Victory or a Defeat. The "Likes X", which could be "Respect for " [«This man has fought Vampires long enough to learn to respect their abilities, and know he should be prepared before facing them» for example] could be gotten with Heroic Victories or normal combats if the character has the Intelligent trait or whatever

On the very small chance you are sincerely new to 4chan and honestly don't understand the concept, I'll give you this one reply before filtering you.

It's called culture/norms

For instance - it's not "illegal" or against "the rules" to show up at your grandmother's funeral wearing a clown costume and then start telling sex jokes to your crying relatives, but everyone there is going to think you're an attention whoring piece of shit for violating established norms/drawing attention to yourself.

If you can't comprehend that, this board isn't for you.

Those losses though. What's even the point?
>>
>>171511730
It's a really badly thought out slogfest. There are three mechanics in it
1. awakening norscan tribes, which is honestly just curbstomping for ~40 turns and you pretty much have to babysit them to be any use because if you leave they get fucked by varg and skaelings, if you don't vassalize them immediately they fight each other, ruin-dweller is fucking busted so you have to weaken the settlement and wait until war coordination decides to work. Just garbage.

2. spreading chaos corruption, which I think does absolutely fucking nothing. You can get a rebellion at 100% but that shit takes ages and you have to allocate several characters to do it. It's so much easier to fight things. Worthless mechanic.

3. horde growth, which is slow as all fuck until you hit level 5 in the main structure and get the skill for it too, and every building you make increases the cost of the next, so it just straight up fucks you in the ass in the early and mid game. You pretty much have to specialize your hordes e.g. one trains hellcannons, the other cavalry, the third one gets heroes etc.

You can't sack and raze a settlement in the same turn like elves. You sack it. And then the next turn fight the garrison all over again, except at half health, to raze it. You do this for almost every fucking settlement especially early on for upkeep and research. Your health regen per turn is pretty much fucking nonexistent even in encamp mode.

I fucking love all three Chaos LLs and the campaign can have its moments but it's by far the shittiest in the game.

There are things that are obviously an oversight like norscans not getting auto-vassalized and corruption not increasing replenishment like it logically should. However, I need to point out mistakes that it seems fucking everyone here makes:
You don't actually have to awaken any tribes, perceived lack of growth is PEBKAC, and you should just merge units and recruit new ones.

every time you successfully assassinate someone with a character, they have a 50% success chance penalty to all actions for one turn afterwards - if you hover over the tooltip in the blue ribbon area next to his portrait in the bottom left it should explain it

"Perceived" lack of growth? With the skill for it maxed and tier V built you get 10 growth per turn and need 20 to get surplus. Let's say you get to that point around turn 40 with also having maxed your chaos altar, now you need what, 9 or 10 points just to build the shit that gets you Shaggots or Giants or lance knights alone. Just one building. And you also need 6 to hire your third legendary lord, who of course needs another 40 turns to even reach the point where he consistently gets surplus. By turn 50-ish you can field armies full of just about every type of high tier unit with any other faction. If you don't perceive how it's slower, you might have some PEBKAC yourself.

The other two are not even possible to miss and I doubt anyone would make mistakes with them, they're just shittily designed.

Two hordes get you everything you need pretty fast with minimal unit swapping, and you'll have a sufficient amount of variety by turn 50, so specializing in a few thing is bullshit, especially if you've been razing actively. New hordes get up and going fast if you switch in an old lord with the skill maxed and use them to raze after the strong horde has sacked (this is why no sack+raze is actually good), but it seems you don't don't that like you're supposed to, just like 99% of people here.

Were flagellants added to help Empire vs VC? I'm not a min maxer/multiplayer guy so I always just figured they were added for flavor, but since playing Dwarfs and needing slayers to fight VC it made me wonder.

grab jew city + bend over the bretonfags and capture their capital and turn it into a slave market + lots of trade treaties, if you have alot, than start going for natural resources (especially Dyes, Salts, Iron and furs) check how much you are selling of each resource on diplomacy tab, if you are exporting 100% of a resource, try to get more of it (especially if units are selling for a high price in the markets) if you are exporting less than 100% of a resource, than don't upgrade it's production centers.
>>
>>171518431
Penny pinch diplomacy.
Don't give Leoncoeur free defensive and then military alliance just because you're bros.
Same with everyone else. If you can get even 400 bucks for a trade deal, do it.

Also the level 1 weaver house only takes 3 turns to pay for itself, it takes way longer for each upgrade. I'm not saying don't upgrade them where you plan to keep them, but you can build temporary ones in towns you don't plan to have to defend right away. Guardhouses in every city though. It's gonna hurt your economy when a shitty little gobbo army starts raiding and sieges it. Plus then you can defend against rebellions.
Get as many money buildings as you can in provinces surrounding Altdorf though because the capital city gives a bonus to that.

They're a great unit for the anvil, since there's 120 of them and they're unbreakable they can hold the line for quite some time (Even more so with the Tattersouls, who have 160 units). Usually they're best used to tie up some infantry before flanking them, protecting your other infantry and just general blobbing tactics. I use them to tie up a lot of shield bearing infantry that aren't purely anti infantry and them get the flank on them with any other unit. It works pretty well, and if you're using Gelt and can cast glimmering scales (Or whatever it is) alongside a jade wizard you can max out at like 115 armor, which makes them a genuinely crazy threat.

It's not slower to a degree that matters in any meaningful way in game, turn 50, 60 or 70 doesn't really matter, and not really at all if you compare when not rushing. If you want to complain, complain about the things that have actual substance instead of being a shitposting faggot. It even sounds like you're comparing optimal settled faction play to non-optimal horde play, because you've certainly not shown knowledge of how to build the fastest.

It matters if you're not an autist and don't like marching the same heavy infantry across the field for 40 turns making an already boring as shit campaign even more tedious. And then the same heavy infantry plus one or a whopping two unit types for another 20 while with any other faction you could be fielding full rosters of anything you wanted. So instead of being dumbfuck who keeps barking after he got proven wrong, you could let people decide what does and doesn't have substance for them. You certainly haven't shown knowledge even in elementary school first grade math.

Why are VC so distinctly un-fun to fight against?
I'm around turn 60 in my Empire campaign, and I've finally gotten around to trying to wipe them out, and the battles are just stupid.

This whole "crumbling" mechanic or whatever is just a flat out lie - every VC unit is unbreakable - I can completely box in a VC infantry unit with for example, four units of swordsmen, and the VC unit simply fights to the last man, taking a large chunk of my soldiers with it.

"Crumbling" is just a red particle effect that pops up over the units - they still fight on totally normal. I'm playing with mods that remove the AI's stat and leadership bonuses from higher difficulties as well, so I know it's not the difficulty.

Do I just need higher tier units / artillery? All of my armies consist of just spearmen, swordmen, and a few crossbowmen / free militia companies.

I love hard fought battles and close victories but this is just lame and makes me want to scrap my whole campaign.

For what it's worth, my infantry are buffed up too - plenty of veteran chevrons and I have Honest Steel maxed out on all my LL's.

Perhaps the worst part of it all is the auto battle option is always GROSSLY in my favor, so I'm always tempted to just bypass the battles, which are distinctly not in my favor.

Sounds like you either need to get good or you fucked up your game with mods. Crumbling should have a dramatic effect on their health if you're managing it properly. VCs are particularly vulnerable to having their Lord killed so focus on that.

You need morale shocks to induce fast crumbling (shattered) instead of slow crumbling (routing). Everything won't crumble until you hit the "army wide losses" debuff for their army, which is best reached by shocking one unit after the other with charges to induce fast crumbling.

I wouldn't worry too much. Charlie always has a few wars going on at the same time so he can never focus enough force to be a huge threat. Ally with some of his enemies and give him something to worry about.

Right so I usually fight the undead around the early mid game. I'll take a couple of mortars and a cannon. Halbrediers, swordsmen, crossbows and some knights preferably reiksguard.

Chances are you'll be doing this bit with Franz or your LL so even better.

First things first. Shoot the fuck out of them. Target whatever you don't want to fight and shoot it until it dies.

Try to anticipate which of their units is going where. Get rid of dogs and bats first at all costs. Then I try to weaken their lord with crossbow fire before the armies meet.

Let them charge you (you have the skill that negates charge bonuses right?) Try to pair up good matches.

Use Franz + reiksguard to charge one unit on one flank in the arse and cycle until it dies. Meanwhile as their dogs and bats are all dead (right?) Move your ranged round behind them and start shooting. Remember you can target large models in melee and not worry about FF so much.

If their lord isn't legendary then use Franz to snipe him. If it's a skilled up Vlad, shoot him first.

The crumbling mechanic is useful but think of it like wavering on a normal unit. If you see something is crumbling do exactly what you would do to break a unit (I.e. cavalry charge it).

If you have a wizard with the lore of light (why don't you?) Use it. Laugh.
