It happens to every general. A few pictures that /mbg/ made were posted almost immediately to Reddit, and TW talked about the "funny pictures" they found on Reddit a few days later.
The new engine they brought in with Empire: Total War (Warscape, as it is called) is incredibly flawed. It was designed for musket battles and artillery, hence why the projectiles and missiles work very well. However the Warscape engine was not designed for melee combat, and 'kill moves' (set piece animations done by stuntmen) were introduced as the SOLE way of soldiers attacking, meaning that once a 'kill move' starts it cannot be interrupted, vastly limiting the amount of scenarios that are possible; in earlier total wars 'Rome I' and 'Medieval II'' the engine they used (I don't think it really has a name) allowed for lots more variables. For instance, soldiers could be knocked down and then get up and soldiers could also interrupt attacks. On top of this, units could both attack another (1 unit) at the same time. This is a major issue, in later Total War games it is theoretically possible for a single peasant to be surrounded by hundreds of enemies and yet (if he keeps getting lucky and kills them) tie them up (occupy their 'attention') for a battle deciding length of time, due to the fact that only one soldier can attack him at once meaning that all the soldiers stand there and do nothing whilst one soldier engages. In Rome I, if a unit was surrounded it would die much quicker as all units within striking distance could all attack at once. This may not sound like that big of a deal but in practice, it looks stupid and totally kills emersion. Also, kill moves (from a spectacle point of view) dramatically worsens the melee combat; There is a fixed number of 'kill moves' to view, after a few battles you'll have seen all of them and they become boring. Because of the kill moves soldiers also slide around (without the 'walk' animation) trying to get into position to start the kill moves, making it look like the floors are too slippery or something.

I really like TWW Terry tool but come on, having to reload mapy everytime I alter the height because pre-rendered grass still appears where it used to be is annoying enough.
Trully suffering.
Would the world have been better if Charlemagne was a pagan?
In Warscape games there is no unit collision, only an illusion. In Rome II the units do not push and shove at each other like they did in the original, only statically poke each other with their swords in animations that lack any vigour. In Rome I when units charged they would all surge into the enemy unit visibly pushing into it, forcing it back, bending the main battle line. In Warscape games all they do is stop the units from colliding artificially: when a unit charges another the first rank starts fighting but the rest just all stop dead in perfect synchronisation, giving the impression you're commanding robots rather than actual people. In Rome I, each individual soldier reacted at a different speed to an order giving the battlefield a much more lifelike feel.
A lot of the deep flaws come from the engine and bad design decisions like removing guard mode and streamlining the campaign. In Rome I you had this almost RPG-like way of building up cities from tiny villages into massive metropolises (in my opinion) this was a better system, why can't a small town become large if you wish to invest time and effort into it, and different provinces (cities) still had value due to base farming and trade resources (that weren't as valued as they are in the recent TW's but still were useful). They also removed 'loose formation' from Rome II (as far as I know) from a lot of the units which is absurd if you ask me.
In Rome, marching is realistic.
In Rome 2, it looks like soldiers are on roller blades.
And don't get me started on the foggy, brownbloom, post-processing, filters out of the ass puke graphics.

Thanks. The first one looks really good.
How do you prioritize these?

I've been grabbing thick-skinned first because I think it makes you more survivable during auto resolve and I noticed characters and giants take a beating during those.

It's not my work, I found them posted in the thread and saved them.
And yeah, the first one is real pretty. I like the second one for more of a random scatter shot.

When you post a real pic and not a thumbnail
>>171697432
Thick skinned, Hard to hit, Deadly blade, and charge in that order. Most leaders already start with a pretty high melee attack so I focus on keeping them standing as long as possible to help maintain discipline longer and keep them in the fight. Deadly blade only if I feel like I'm struggling against enemy lords, and charge never, there are almost always better choices.

When is a good time to Confederate? Turn 30 as White Dwarf, I can confed Zhufbar already.
Won the Westphalian campaign, here is a quick look at my territory - eastphalia and the danes are both my vassals, with the other pagan factions as military allies
Heres how the saxons play
>form a shield wall
>throw javelins at enemy cav
Saxon cavalry can do very well if they get their javelins off, especially if the enemy is in diamond/wedge formation. Frankish armies that bring 6-8 units of horsemen get absolutely shat on by any kind of skirmishers (I used levy skirmishers in every battle for this campaign). Seax warriors are great main line units due to their bonus vs infanty and ap damage, but its lame how they upgrade into armored swords instead of armored seax warriors.
How is one supposed to beat the Wood Elves in a straight fight? No amount of cavalry on gods green earth can catch their archers who ride cavalry and fire with godlike accuracy, no front line can hold against them long enough for your Hammer to strike because they're already dead because they got shot and I'm about 90% sure that wherever you fight Wood Elves, they get some advantage in map selection that picks maps that are majority forest. I hate Wood Elves so god damn much. I fought an Army in Ostland and the map was an Athel Loren one with fancy blue moon runes and gargantuan trees with neat handy dandy cliff faces for the Wood Elves and only the Wood Elves. Fuck them.
>>171699858

>>171698889

Did, then reloaded because they are being assfucked by Manny+another army and its impossible to hold. Feels like anytime I confed, its just because that faction was getting fucked so hard.
>>171700229
>Feels like anytime I confed, its just because that faction was getting fucked so hard.
That's how it works, you know.
>>171699976
Is that the Celestial wizard?
Is there a mod in the vein of Empire Total Factions for Total Warhammer? I'm mostly concerned about playing the unplayable factions, especially Karak Norn or Wissenland.
Is there a mod togive Bretonnians bombards, but with worse stats than the Empire variants?
>>171700229
I almost never confederate Zhufbar for that exact reason. Let them take the hits from the Vamps, up to getting wiped out, until I'm ready to deal with Mannlett once the orcs are somewhat contained.
>>171699858
They're flammable, allegedly. That only really applies to fighting them as dwarfs though.
>>171700229
Yeah, confederation Zhuf is maybe best left for when you're planning to start fighting zangunnaz anyways.

I think one of Thorgim's big policies was to cool it on new petty Grudges till we get some old ones out of the way,
The background settlements always look more interesting to explore and defend than the actual settlements you get. It's retarded that the Dwarfs have to defend some tiny outer wall rather than being able to hunker down in this beastly citadel.

Woah
Getting towards the endgame as the Dwarfs, my first campaign.
1. How the fuck do I stop constant Chaos blobs invading my northern birders? I've killed that prick Archaon like 4 times already.
2. Why can't I confederate Clan Angrund?
3. Will the fucking Brettonians ever stop asking me to attack the Wood Elves? I've had them ask me every turn for the past 30 or so turns trying to throw gold in my face.

this waste of Dawi lives oughta go on the Book
Anyway I used that kind of formation to try to intercept the wolf riders and stop them from shitting all over my artillerywith semi-satisfactory results
The center was a bit open when the lines merged but the greenskins didn't push through it oddly enough, so it just became a slaughterhouse with the quarrelers and catapults firing point blank into the gapthe quarrelers and catapults got 2300 kills among them
>>171695378
In many cases of the various -lands it's not all that precise.
I agree that Ostermark is pretty much Poland.
Nuln is Nuremberg.
Carroburg is (sorta) Cologne
But:
Border Princes are Habsburg/Austria, black eagle on golden shield is pretty much a dead giveaway.
Reikland is nothing specific from the HRE, though Altdorf is moslty Frankfurt.
Nordland is Sweden, at least by their colours. (Yes, Sweden was not in the HRE, but they intervened in the 30 Years War, which is what the Empire is stuck in for all eternity)
Marienburg is Hanseatic League and Netherlands
>>171703312
The AI cant handle non standard formations, in that set up they would all get tied up in the center by lords then shot to bits. The only exception is other 1 unit models, which you have to either block with your own unit or use something with mass.
The only other formation that works better than broken up ones is ultra tight boxes/'cup' shapes to stack buffs over a whole army.
>>171705143
Didn´t sweden pretty much own the northen german provinces at a time too?
Dear man-things,
Your warlord, Karl FranzFranz, is very stupid and not very good at backstabbing. Dwarf-things (us) are much better at kill-kill and our breeders are much prettier. You will all squirt the musk of fear once we come down from the hill-hills, led by Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Horned Rat curse his name-name. The only way to stop us is by leaving as much warpstone as ratmanly possible outside of your sewer entrances in every city. We need this to defeat the most potent of potentates, the most illustrous of illustrouses, Grey Seer Thanquol, Horned Rat bless his great name--you would do well to erect monuments to him lest you incur his wrath. He is incredibly furry, handsome, and has a very long tail.
Sincerely,
Dwarf-things
>>171705465

>>171705164
Hmmm
I'd do some custom battle fuckery but discovering another way to game the AI probably isnt good for my campaign sanity
>>171698443
what fucking use is there for peasants? Why do so many upgrades revolve around them but not fucking men at arms?
Is it even worth having a Runesmith in your stack? I know Engineers are great because of the ranged buffs but I find the runs pretty underwhelming.

>>171706059
Once they get some levels they can fight in melee just fine, and make the dwarfs around them even more unkillable. I stick a runesmith in as many armies as I think I can get away with.
>>171705989
Mate
There's not a single Bretonnian infantry that isn't peasants.
Everything that says it buffs Peasants (not Peasant MOB, peasants) buffs every infantry, even squires
>>171705989
They're okay at helping add bulk to the main battle line; as long as you've got someone else fighting the enemy first, they can do some decent damage just because of the fact that they have numbers. They're also fairly cheap, which can occasionally be useful when you want lots of expensive cavalry, but also some meatshields too. Their numbers probably make them good at absorbing a charge, come to think of it.
But yeah, they are really a unit that's fluffy at best, and they're not worth taking when there's a limit on peasant units in your army. If you can't get at least some men-at-arms with swords, then you're really fucked.

Sweden controled Mecklenburg and Pommerania, Denmark controled Slesvig or whatever it is called.
But seriously, keeping track of the 500 year clusterfuck that waws the HRE is pretty much hopeless.
The best you can hope for is is to do what the French did: Pay them so they keep fighting each other, and watch from the sidelines.
Admittedly, that backfired a bit whenever the infighting stopped, like in 1870. And 1914. And 1941.

Treat them as very mobile skirmishers. Wait until the enemy is forced to turn his back towards you (i.e. engaged with an ifnantry squad of yours), then maneuver behind them and throw the javs until you run out. Optionally chase down enemy archers.

Alright! The Castilians were neutral for a while, but they've finally thrown in with the Aragonese.
Petiri here is sprinting back to Pamplona as fast as possible, and mayybee with some of these fancy new mercenaries that have finally spawned.
Jaca in Aragon is pretty easily defensible, and Aragon as a faction literally has to rely on mercenaries at this point, unless they convert one of their cities into a castle.
So, /twg/, I need your help. Do I go for the knockout punch or death by 1000 cuts?
Knockout punch:
>Head for Castile's only castle
>Take it
>Basically win, as Castile has no ability to recruit
Pros: Fast as hell

Man, what the fuck? Alencon has gone through two upgrades before Cherbourg has even gotten its first. Fuck pop growth, this is bs.
In other news, Periti moves on Bilbao soon.
Am I doin this right?
Basically I added another hun trait, and just copied the roman expedition movement trait under it - theoretically this should give the huns the same movement bonus
>>171716280
Holy hell! Not only did Bilbao fall hella easy, but i'm not sure I've ever seen this trait before. +8 to HP?? That's insane.

I tried the mod but I realized that it's based off vanilla mediveal 2 so Pikemen drop their pikes in combat which sucks. I'm playing the swiss right now in the Italian Wars 4.1 and it's pretty cool.

What they need to do is give goods an actual gameplay function besides give money when you export them. Like, you need iron to make advanced weapon buildings, wine for certain city upgrades, shit like that.
If they had a function like that, it would make sense for the AI to reject trade with potential competitors, since giving them goods would allow them to build better infrastructure. It would also make factions with lots of tradeable goods more attractive as potential trade partners.

Rate my warhammer strats, ive been noticing my archers/handgunners weren't getting shots off because they had people infront, now they are finally wasting all their ammo getting solid ~150 kills each. They usually don't get into fights or I can send them around the side to flank shoot.

anyone else?
>>171717171
So not only did I manage to turn away that English assault, I made them pay me for a peace and give me trade rights so I have a few more turns to deal with Castile.
Speaking of, Petiri here is moving on Donostia, the Castilian capital. Good luck, Petiri!
>>171718020
I think the AI lord tends to magically level up anyway as the game progresses, even if you kill him again and again.
So I assume I should just disband these Gyrocopters after taking the Silver road right? These things seem to be doing next to nothing even when I unload their "Bombs" and have them shooting into the backs of Big'uns.

On the other hand, Donostia is mine which means sweet sweet ports and dosh and also I killed every single faction member, so Sant Ander is free for me to waltz into.

its the way it was under the faction trait for the roman expedition, so it must be seeing as t works for them in the last roman.
>>171719919
Try adding something at the start of the "effect_bundles" table or whatever the table is called
For example "AA_effect_bundles"
>>171720528
did that earlier, and still no luck
>>171720184
although looking at different tables now, it seems that the roman expedition has their own, special version of every movement stance in the game.fuck I thought this would be as easy as copy/pasting a couple of rows
>>171720636
you can see here the bel_bundle_stance - there seems to be one for every different movement stance
>>171719767
I had to edge of tomorrow that shit but I kept my general in back with the mortar and a unit of halberdiers, and only kept most of my melee on the walls to keep the towers shooting (not that it mattered, they had towers for almost every unit of infantry), kept them on the walls to get some tower kills them pulled as many back as I could to where the general was.
Kept most of the ranged the right side where they had a troll fuck up the gates, so they shot the shit out of the other stuff that just stood out there waiting, then pulled crossbowmen to the rear, had handgunners set up in side streets with outriders behind them.
Some good mortar shots, and a lucky unit that reformed outside the gates instead of shattering let me kill their general and kick them the fuck out.
>>171721035
I'm thinking that if I re-assign the bel_bundle_stances to the huns instead of bel_faction_byzantine_expedition that might solve the problem. Not sure, but its worth a shot

>>171721821
It worked! It seems the trait doesn't really do anything, and the roman expedition just has stances that don't have the minimum movement requirements. I'm going to have to see if the stance effects are the same since this basically just gives the huns the roman expedition stances

I awaken them all then they started to fight against each other, ignored them for awhile and after 20 turns the entire north was owned by Sarl #1 strength ruining shit all the way down to the reikland
>>171724982
the way to deal with the norscans is to beat the fucking piss out of them until one remains - it doesn't matter if you are allied with them, because if you leave them be and let ruin dweller do its work in resettling everything you have razed up there you now have a norscan faction that has 0 enemies up north and as such has the resources and capabilities to send hordes of chariots down south to fuck with brettonia/the empire while you get to work on kislev and the vamp cunts. After a while, your mutual hatred of everything civilized will make you besties, regardless of whether you awakened them or beat the shit out of them for 50 turns
>>171717183
That's actually pretty cool, and could promote trying to make peace with the dwarves because you need their iron, and they might want a strong ally that could provide foodstuffs (it's not a resource now, but it could be). Wine could be necessary for taverns, salt for warehouses.
Another idea I think would be cool would be to steal from Endless Legend and have a Winter and Summer cycle. It doesn't have to be as harsh in the winter on most factions, but it would be very flavorful for Wood Elves, and might hinder armies in a way that would not hinder Norse tribes, or generally reflect unit healing.

>>171727852
Counterpoint: Keeping your second lord around as a 1-unit stack means he get develop his horde pretty far without doing much more than raiding (to keep fightiness up), baiting enemy armies close, and encamping to stay safe and comfy... and then you can swap in an LL once you unlock him and he has a nice developed horde to work with!

How bad is friendly fire in Total War?
I notice in Warhammer that ranged units will stop firing and indicate "obstructed", but artillery will still maul your guys.
In Attila though, they seemed to happily shoot my own guys in the back. Is this perception or reality?
I especially noticed playing Burgundians with their triple shot slings, it seems like they ate through both the enemy and my rank 1 spears in no time.
>>171732115
as long as you kill beastmen tree Hitler is easy to please
>>171732376
depends on the game. friendly fire is in full effect and brutal in empire and napoopan. in Mediveal 2 I believed that if you cavalry charged into the backs of an ally engaged in melee, it would kill some of your dudes.
>>171732376
At least it's not like Rome 1 where if you double click enemies with hastati they'll touch edges and kill each other before charging.
It made me want to exclusively recruit town watch because I didn't know about alt-clicking for a while. Just so they wouldn't throw those stupid pila and kill 5 soldiers in each unit.
But I wish they would at least do the thing in Rome 2 where they try to shoot over your heads, very sparingly but if you're in a city, you might not have a choice.

Daemon Slayer, not Dragon Slayer. At least that's the way it goes in the RPG. Obviously a dorf can be a slayer of anything he chooses to kill him, but dying by being incinerated from the skies is hardly a glorious death they'd seek.

No, you just don't understand the intricacies of your formation. You see, if the enemy charges the center of your army they're met with a solid block of troops. It's also not the true center as you're skewed to the right. This lets you flank with lots of infantry right away and use your cav to hit from the left. If they do decide to charge your archers you're still protected by spears.
It's a win-win and you want to fuck it up. You need tojust hit the infantry in front button. It don't matter, none of this matterssenpai!

Out numbered 3 to 1. I had terrain advantage, huge mountain they had to climb. But I guess things like fatigue don't affect the computer.
Kinda bs desu. I don't see how exhausted marauders could defeat fresh chaos warriors, regardless of how many there are.
Played to the best of my ability and outflanked them, even. Game leaves a bitter taste. What did I learn from this game to better myself in future attempts? Nothing.

As a result Chaos never went past Kislev and the old world turned into clusterfuck - Middenland went full teutonic on half the Empire provinces, Brettonia is colonising the Troll Country, Karl only has Reikland, Wissenland and Stirland (I control moot though). I think I'm just gonna hunker down and wait until Chaos runs a train on them. Last thing I want is for any of them to ally fucking dorfs, who won the badlandsbowl yet again.

no offense but that's categorically the worst possible interpretation of my post, unsure if bait.
This was a fun mess.
Tree Kin are seemingly near indestructible in SFO, only lost some trying to keep the Spider Queen in place to keep the hail of arrows on it. By the time she was done, Durthu and the Branchie Boys were swamped in Gobs and Orcs and spent the rest of the battle in the middle of a swamp of green. Wild Riders, Hawk Riders, and Eggles did the good work mucking up their artillery and beating up wizardos.
I have no idea how to keep archers alive. A few minutes in and they were nonstop being bounced around by those Orc chariots and Squig Hoppas. Think I might switch over to full on Hawkspam
Meanwhile, Orion and his elf friends helped Gelt take an Orc held Karak. Here's Orion having a think about what Gelt's face really is after the battle.
>>171740608
>CA go as far as to put this sort of stuff in the game, even give Kislev unique VA

Durthu helped Tileans in the siege of Barak Varr, though it took him a few hours to get to the gate. He then gave a speech about why Athel Loren is for trees only, not elves, and pure sap treeryans need leafensraum. Tilean soldiers seemed accepting of the idea.

The ironbreaker reserve behind them.
Currently I'm playing chaos with a similar setup (4 hellfire cannons) but I space them out more (~1/4 of the map away from my main army on both sides) and the AI ignores them if they're defended by anti-cav units.
Why does this happen specifically when I play Vampires? This is the first time I see AI organise a competent defence against Chaos instead of being bullied by it.
I guess I'll have to wait until the end times are done for Empire, Brettonia and dorfs to backstab each other, I can't really do anything otherwise.

Firstly
>gitgud
Secondly, depending on the faction you're playing you won't really have to deal with not-vikings. But if you do then it's fairly easy to shit on them at most points in the game.
Chaos/viking units are notoriously shitty until late late game and their garrisons are even worse and sometimes nonexistant. Just pop on over across the sea and fuck them up every 10-20 turns or so, you can also get alot of shekels like this too. Another added bonus is that you'll get diplomacy points with almost all factions doing this which should make your game easier.
The fact that you're having trouble with this means you're either retarded or blind(possibly both) and haven't read the tool tips regarding the game basics or you legitimately can't into strategy because you can't comprehend things that happen five turns into the future.

Searing doom doesn't, but golden hounds do
>>171742698
Why should they be?
I know less than nothing about WH lore but theres nothing up in the North, no resources, just chaos fuckery and ice. Sure it requires skill to survive in that condition but the lack of resources would mean they have shit gear.
Not to mention that I'm assuming that they have no unit cohesion since they're brutes which would explain how they have shit leadership and die off when their lord is killed.
>>171742929
The constant battle for survival in norsca is meant to toughen people up.
Ingame, marauders end up being pretty shit because WoC needed a low tier infantry unit and norsca would be even more annoying to fight if marauders were better than they are now, but that goes for a lot of the chaos units. Chaos warriors are supposed to be fairly scary but nobody gives a shit because all factions have access to better infantry than the regular chaos warriors and can just spam them, which you couldn't do in tabletop.
>>171742698
Nope, average marauders they are just viking raiders that are more interested in loot rather than fighting and pay lip service to chaos gods, simply because they are the deities they've grown up worshipping. The proper killy and religious ones become warriors of chaos.
>>171742665
That is a good point. I'd restart if Vlad's early game wasn't so balls to the wall. Now I just gotta make best of the situation I'm in.
>>171743517
Kurgan are the real dead killy ones, but since the map right now just stops at Norsca we don't have anything unique or cool for the Chaos Wastes or anything, which is where they roam.

Thanks, Orion.
>>171743565
I recently finished a Vlad campaign on very hard.
You can actually get Averhiem and that other greenred human faction in like 2 turns. Vlad's siege attacker atribute combined with the fellbats/varghesists will make short work of the humans who at that point don't have strong units.
I attack the greenred faction on the first turn, then on turn 2 i summon isabella and atttack the averheim capital. I get isabella to finish Averhiem off on turn 3 and turn vlad to that greenred faction on turn 3 and wipe the floor with them.
During this time templehof and manlet shouldn't actually be fighting. This will give you enough time to get templehof+the towns above manlet's region.
I actually kept manlet alive for a while since he's pretty useful at getting rid of zhufbar and the orcs to the south. From here you can chip away at the empire or let them live. I let them live and used them to fight off chaos. If you can manage to somehow keep Kislev alive then please post, because those fuckers got wiped way before chaos started invading.

To my knowledge, that picture is actually a Norscan Warrior. The Kurgan are 8 feet tall giant men that live beyond the Worlds Edge Mountains, a tribal society of Warriors that worship Chaos. There's not a lot of information on them, there's also the Hung, who inhabit Naggaroth and are a Mongol-like race of Horse nomads.

>>171744235
Most things we know about Kurgan come from Kislevite lore - they were once part of the same people, but when Chaos started fucking shit up Kurgans embraced it, while Gospodars started migrating to the west.
>>171744262
He wishes to be able to confederate early once again

Norscans, no. They aren't really a big deal, they're just shit viking raiders. It's the Hung and Kurgans that make up the overwhelming majority of actual Chaos Warriors since they're the true martial races.

>>171747664
Somehow Vlad was removed by the Empire or Beastmen or Greenskins (I have Da Green Threat and Orcs Occupy Anywhere), and Manlet was beat so hard that the only settlement he had was Castle Drakenhof. Probably those dorfs from the east razed Waldenhof and Eschen and then Templehof colonized them. When i saw that, I attacked him and sacked and razed Drakenhof to finish him off so i won't have to deal with vampire legendary lords in future. Chaos invasion (enhanced with Fear the Chaos Tide and Rise of the Beastmen) already came and destroyed Kislev so backstabing cunt fighting with the Empire was the last thing i wanted. Templehof was neutral towards the Empire so i allied with them and guided them to attack weaker Chaos/Norscan/Beastmen forces. Their attrition was useful against chaos too. I also convinced Orion to attack Norsca, and when he conquered one settlement there, then he started to conquering every Norscan province so both Varg and Skaeilling armies had to fuck off back to Norsca to stop him.
After i stopped Chaos Invasion my ally Border Provincies attacked Templehof but i didn't wanted war yet so i broke my alliances. Templehof attacked me few turns later anyway, but they are too weak to do anything to even my garrisons. Now it seems that there will be a world war, because Welves attacked Bretonnia allied with Empire (everyone is my ally too) and i have have almost the strongest army in the world (Elves are first) and Estalia is my vassal.
I think that i will save right before this attack and try to side with other faction in future. I sided with Welves becauseI removed them few times already and i didn't fought with Bretonnia after update yet

The historical validity of the Bible is questionable as it wasn't intended to be a straight record of events but rather amalgamation of several different stories under one, streamlined narrative.
But because the stories all have different origins, you do see contradictions between the books. And as such, nobody with an ounce of integrity could look at its content and definitively claim the Bible is 100% historical fact.

I like how there's holes for ranged unit to shoot through. I always thought enemy will go through the holes and reach the back line but in TW they just glue to your main line.
Here's my strat, I am simple-minded so head-on brawl is my forte.
The Gorebull+Mino combo is self-explained, they will go straight into enemy main line
Ungor archer is for countering ranged units or flying ones
Cygor will soften cavalry and and infantry
Centigors are artillery-killing taskforce, counter-cygor-killing-taskforce taskforce or foot-archer sweeper
Bestigors are used depend on situation, but usually they join the main line if there's too many foot soldiers (especially armor piercing anti-large) or protect flanks if there's too many cavalries.
Preserved GW Mino in the back is mostly for countering flanking cavalry but will eventually join the main line if the enemy flanking force is no threat
Khazrak and Shaman are for buffing/debuffing

If you think that is bad, just look at Tilea.

Also, there are things you can do to the AI in warhams, like raiding and reducing public order to cause uprisings.
In shogun, you can blow up the barracks to stop the unit spam.
>>171756391
Fly around them with the cheap shitty bats, charge them in the back with the big bat things.
Or just fucking march up to them with more zombies and skallies until they are stuck in melee, then come in with real units to actually kill them.
>>171756740
To be honest if you give Tilea, Estalia and Border Princes a bit of a hand they turn into absolute beasts. I've been babysitting them all game with the Dwarfs and now they charging up and down the old world going after anything and everything in sight. I had one stack of Tileans show up in the Desolation of Nagash to stomp some Poopoopeepees that spawned whilst my main armies were away fighting Chaos.

You can see much movement you have left by holding down right mouse button. Chaos and beastmen are almost unplayable if you don't know this. Also if you remove the marauder building right at the start of the game you can build the far superior chaos warrior one.
Also there's a few ways to deal with northern tribes. During the game you'll have to "awaken" them - conquer a norscan settlement and restore the tribe that lived there in the past, automatically making them your military allies. The thing is, they are not allied with each other, and since you'll have to awaken many different tribes that may become a problem. Personally, I attacked the tribes right after liberating them and vassalised them, preventing further infighting. Only one tribe tried to break away from me in the entire Legendary game and got subsequently purged. Some people say that it's better to leave just one tribe to control entire Norsca, to prevent infighting.
>>171757663
>don't fuck around in Norsca too much, knock out Varg and then befriend Skaeling.

>>171759807
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.
Superficially, Radious mod appears to be a mod which caters to the most proletarian among men; aloof critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As complacent as these self-proclaimed "understanders of strategy" are, they fail to realize that Radious mod is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Radious mod pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts.
As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Radious mod would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.

Yes, they will. You may even get another wave before he appears.
>>171762882
I thought wiping them out was the prompt for him to appear?
>>171762994
Nope. His prompt to appear is the player faction doing "good enough", whatever that means. In games where I did badly he didn't appear until 150+ turns, in a dorf run, where I united entire Badlands in 50 or so turns he appeared on turn 66, just a few turns after the second wave.
>>171763241
Huh, the more you know I suppose.
>>171742698
the lore suffers from insane power creep or whatever its called. In one text it might say every single norscan warrior is 8 feet tall and killed all his siblings at birth, only eating the flesh of his foes. But in another the empire soldiers cleave through the norscans like butter, driving them back and making them run away shitting their pants. Overall they are supposed to be stronger but fewer in numbers in the game, but its not really balanced

Killin unded gits
>>171728241

>>171764185
It depends from whose perspective the lore is written and what GW wants to do with the plot. For example during the End Times Skaven started out by murdering like 60% of all the important characters in the setting, destroying several countries completely, and then went on to do absolutely nothing for the rest of the plot except being cannon fodder.
An Orc is supposed to be ridiculously strong, almost impervious to pain and capable of quickly healing all but most grievous wounds and yet greenskins somehow got beaten by primitive humans who used roughly the same equipment as them.

I played as Milan, pretty interesting factions. Looks a bit meme though. And the Pavise crossbowmen were some OP as fuck shit. I think I remember that their infantry was pretty shit though (in terms of heavy infantry, their early Spear militia were very good)
HOW... can beast herds even compete with this? You are literally ducking and weaving for survival.
Is the name of the game waiting for chaos to fuck everyones shit up whilst you take the stragglers? pls repond
If CA does decide to do Pike and Shot, I really hope they don't fuck it up and just make the battles play like "hammer and anvil yet again, this time with pikes and funny hats".
I haven't played the game in 6 months.

Really gimping yourself not having minotaurs, cygors or centigors.
You need speedy units to mess up their ranged and one unit of doggos aint gonna cut it. Basic infantry you treat like cavalry because they all have good charge bonus. Need to rely on overwhelming the enemy quickly.

>No Minos

so does chaos just come straight for the player faction every time?

Most of the grudges comes from Lords and their troops raiding lands. First game with dwarves, turn 77 atm
>>171771491
Forgot pic
>>171771086
It is tricky, but it's usually survivable by having a runelord or thane try to counter their agents, the AI doesnt try to counter-assassinate lots in my experience. Then again you can also get a grudge to tell you to raid Essen, which has been destroyed by chaos/vamps for several turns already, while you're trying to win the badlands.
>>171771685
It looks like you need to re-evaluate some things. Did your hammerers get zero kills because they were fighting the giant the whole time or whats up with that? Hammerers are very devastating in the charge, but they shouldn't be part of the main battle line. Your grudge thrower should be probably be focused on the enemy's most valuable infantry, and you ought to build another one.

When you think about making games, you gotta make a decision between Autism and Gameplay.
>>171772845
Yeah, you don't want inbred parents filing lawsuites at you about their autistic sons sperging and dying of fits because the game was too much on their brain capacity.
>>171771685
my thoughts:
your infantry is highly armored, so take out the armor piercing goblin units and the giant with your missile troops. should be able to focus them all down to nothing before they even reach your lines. they have little to no armor and no shields.
once the lines meet, you can safely wreck all their missile troops with yours. I would probably have a sort of semi-circle formation going on to protect the quarrelers from their spider monkeys.
Thorgrim could take on their generals easily, I imagine.
your infantry would then have their orcs tied up for ages I would think, giving you time to finish off remaining threats and flank them.
>>171772845
What's the source of these arts ?
Love them ...
any advice on how I should build my stacks as Syracuse/Athens in Rome 2? I was thinking like 11 Hoplites, 4 Citizen/Taratine/Hippeus Cavalry, 4 skirmishers, and Hippeus cavalry for general general

More grudgethrowers, if you can get a good shot on massed enemy soldiers they really start to shine.
As for the actual melee, as long as you target high priority units with your ranged (like anything with AP or cavalry) dorf infantry are stubborn little fuckers who can stand up to almost anything, which gives you ample time to do the actual killing with your other units.
>>171772580
I can understand why there aren't many Village maps, simply because when you're moving 500 men around it's going to be a pain to path them through these little hovels and shit.
When Sylvania hasn't been depicted in any form that isn't a picture or a passage of text, I think the games interpretation of it is pretty decent.
Dwarfs not being raidable would suck, their primary matchup is Greenskins whose economy is raiding-based.
Dwarf cities I can kind of agree on, but I also understand that with the way the game plays having some kind of multi-level battle across different levels of the city would be a clusterfuck and only one faction would benefit from it, it's not worth redesigning sieges for. Though Sieges do suck as of right now.
I think the issue with raiding removing attrition is more to do with attrition itself. The system is rather flawed and I think more could be done to improve it, and thereby improve raiding.
Talabecland should be an awesome map, you're right about that. I believe a custom map has been made though, which is pretty good for online matchups but the AI can't navigate it.
As >>171772845 said, game design is about compromise. The game you want to play isn't the one everyone else wants to play, you need to get as much in to satisfy as many people while alienating as few as possible.
>>171766427
Which one? The one which just recolors the existing units or the one which also adds new ones?
>>171769930
Holy shit you fucking suck at planning builds.
Like how in the name of fuck all mighty don't you have Minotaurs, or even Chaos Spawn at this point? Why would you rush Bestigors? Why do you have 3 fucking casters in your army? Why the fuck do you still have two normal Ungor Spearmen? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Seriously, EVERYTHING about that screenshot is wrong. The fact you even got caught with your pants down is sad, and that army composition is pathetically incompetent.
Go read a guide. With 2000 word limits no one here can help you. If you fail this hard at even the basics of the game (How long does it possibly take to realize what a stupid fucking idea 3 wizards are?) you need to start from scratch

It's a mod. Wood Elves are actually isolationist and won't leave but if anyone raids or attacks their settlements they sperg out and send an obliteration party. It also adds seasons which affect Wood Elves more than other factions.
Chaos becomes actually dangerous seeing as their stacks tend to stick together much more often and Greenskins are more likely to win the Badlands Bowl than before. Ambushes are also more likely.
How do you summarize all of the current total warhammer factions in one short sentence?

you use your infantry to lock in with their infantry but there isn't much going on there. No wedge charge breakthroughs for sudden decisive slaughters or anything like that in total war, just grinding block against block until one wears away. you can try some maneuvers there with reserves but they're easily countered because big organized blocks of men are slow.
Whereas with cav you are on the open flanks and you yourself decide the outcomes of the battle as a whole there by personally directing the maneuvers, charges and feints. they're fast enough to take advantage of an opening and punish a weakness or lapse of attention, and in the same vein deliver their damage quickly and can turn an entire battle in a single stroke.
tldr you send in the infantry but you lead the cavalry

Yes, along with supplementary mods that add content for the Southern Realms (Tilea, Estalia, Border Princes), Mousilion, Kraka Drak (Norscan Dwarfs), the Norscan Tribes, and the Empire Provinces. They're playable, but non-playable factions generally don't have campaign goals. Furthermore, most diplomacy icons are replaced by blank circles and if you don't have anything to research the game still reminds you that you're not researching anything before ending your turn. If you're fine with all that, go check it out.

Once the Dawi issued a grudge against a mountain for collapsing on them, and they way they plan to right the wrong is mine everything of value out of it and then grind what's left into the earth.

Interesting, I've been wondering what triggers the two Chaos events. Playing Feet Enchantress I don't think the first one started until turn 80-something, so I had plenty of time to unite Brettonia and prepare a crusade into the Empire to kill Vampires and Chaos.
>>171780241
The Navarrese are finally breeding, meaning lots more money and lotsa nice towns and people in them. Next up, we're moving on Montpellier to avoid the fuckhuge stack led by their King in Perpignan, their capital.
Back west, King Carlos is moving on Bordeaux which is held by the English. The English have besieged Cherbourg twice now and I've bought a peace with them, but no fucking longer. I'll soon be able to recruit there and hold them on the coasts. Fuck the English.

I thought the fucking dwarves to the north of me had that shit, they were besieging it with two full stacks
>>171781452
Ach, I waited too long. The Aragonese have been hiring every merc they can get their hand on, so while both cities have like 1 unit there's a full stack parading around them.
Time to attack, I guess!

>>171782626
They're fun for a lark, but the mechanics aren't always super explicit and can be a bit frustrating to work out. I enjoy them, though, and still play them not infrequently. Regarding medieval 1's darkness? I suppose the ambiance could be described that way, but I never really thought of it like that at the time.

Tree Hitler is pretty easy compared to Mel Gibson. You get access to a ton of monstrous units for no Amber, and the wood elf units that require Amber often have their niche filled by their lower tier counterpart.

This seems like the sort of things the Dwarves should get. Sort of a mixed ride-along, area-denial war machine with a bit of light artillery. Very useful in sieges and Underway battles.

In fact I'd like to see a really fleshed out version of underground combat and the Underway as a sort of mirror-version of the overground campaign map.

I get that they can be in some hard-to-scratch places anon, but if you're marching on Altdorf surely you can resolve whatever those are.
>>171786403
Seems that way based on what their researchers have been reportedly doing in recent months. Personally I'm more interested in what new things they can bring to the table from a game mechanics perspective. I want real city combat and something to make colonisation interesting rather than just rolling over hordes of brown people with stacks of line infantry if they're doing 19th century.
I feel like they should be bringing a whole new deck of cards to the table for that era - especially with respect to technology, economics and political mechanics.

The system is fucking retarded for large battles. Fine that not all units can be on the field at the same time, but fucked up reinforcement entry points combined with the trickle are just completely gamebreaking.
>>171787623
Honestly it's not worth stacking more than two armies at once unless you're trying to push the autoresolve in your favour.
If you can't win with two stacks on the field you wouldn't have been able to win with three. And often the reinforcements come in a retarded order so you end up with all ranged units and six heroes on the field
>>171788047
Yeah I'd probably have done better with just 2, but I just wish they let me decide to hold off on reinforcing one by one and instead let me reinforce an entire army at a time (assuming enough troops have died/fled, of course).

After you gobble up the other vampire factions expand south to munch on the Border Princes and Tilea
Even if you lose your starting provinces you'll still have ones that are much more defensible
Try to keep your relations with THE EMPRAH and the horsefuckers (i.e. bribe the shit out of them) and you should be able to hold Black Fire Pass against just about anything

Alright! The spy in Bordeaux has managed to open the gates for us. We're gonna try blitzing our way thru Bordelais and Gascony in order to take the Brit's quite rich territory. This will get us in good with the French, while getting territory from someone that no one is coming to defend. Also, I need the French to continue living for a while, and not having to worry about the southern front should be good for them.
>>171792019
Kislev already meatshielded the shit out of the chaos rapetrain. They even scored a decisive victory north of Bechafen. Than they got cleaned up and chaos started pouring into Essen while the Empire sent doomstacks at me and the Dwarves legit wiped out orcs at 80 turns and were removing border princeletes from their provinces at turn 100.

An easy battle and Bordeaux is ours, giving us a nice safe path up the Atlantic coast.
In other news, not a single person in this thread made a joke about my king being a cuckold. It's literally in his title. Carlos the Cuckold.

How so?
So how far did you get into the new Time Commanders before you couldn't take it anymore?

Goblin units only until mid game where you get orcs but only from one city

Hey, I've been living under a rock my entire life and I never played any of the Total Wars.
I've heard people speak the world of Medieval 2, but is it still playable in the year 2017?Also, do you have any fun mods to recommend?
>>171795739
haha healthfag can't handle REAL american food
what's the matter you little weak stomach baby? need a banana? need some eggplant???
What are grail guardians for? There's only a handful of them. They're enormously expensive but don't seem to actually do anything.
>>171795796
Medieval 2 is good but has some annoying kinks. For example, units take a moment to respond to orders, I guess to be realistic. This can be frustrating when you're telling your crossbowmen to run the fuck away from the arab cavalry thats charging straight for them.
Stainless Steel is a mod that a lot of people use for Medieval 2. It's has a much better campaign map but also buffs cavalry immensely. I'd still say its the best way to experience Medieval 2 though.
If you want the best TW though, I'd say you should go with Shogun 2. The Realm Divide (where every clan turns against you) is annoying but all the other factors (music, missions, battle improvements like being able to control huge armies) make up for it.
>>171796096
Putting a spine in your peasants/low-tier knights
Makes them immune to fatigue and fear/terror
Invaluable against Undead
>>171795796
Medieval 2 is still a good game, but honestly, you're better off with one of the new ones. Medieval 2 is really fucking clunky in some aspects, and personally I find it nearly unplayable nowadays. It's not bad at all, just frustrating I guess.
If you're into medieval stuff particularly, Attila and Age of Charlemagne kind of cover the early medieval shit, and a pretty big conversion mod should be released soonâ„¢. Otherwise, any of the games post Empire are bretty good, although Rome 2 is kind of obsolete since Attila is pretty much an upgrade except for setting. Napoleon is my favourite, but obviously has some pretty significant differences to most other games in the series since it's all about dem muskets. Shogun 2 is pretty great, and Fall of the Samurai is fucking amazing. I haven't played much Warhammer since I decided to wait for more mods and expansions (this was a long time ago, I'm sure there's plenty now).
serious question. is kislev rightful bret or empire clay?
i feel like the prince lands belong to empire but everything else to bretonnia, including the seajews

>>171796645
Close your eyes.
There's that's all that's rightfully Bretonnian clay.
>>171796645
Everything belongs to Bretonnia. The Empire peasants will soon learn that. Karl Franz, the biggest peasant of them all, will be put on the worst farmland and be expected to produce the most crops, as punishment for thinking himself more than his birth.

So can somebody give me a general idea of how I should build empire armies in the campaign? I've been playing empire like dwarves and so now that chaos has come knocking I find myself gettign repeatedly violated because of bad unit comps. Doesn't help their artillery outranges me but i can't get MY calv back there because theirs comes up to meat me
>>171795796
OY
Google "M2 diplomacy fix taw"
dude went thru the original code and figured out why everyone hates you no matter what, and then figured out a fix
its up to you to use it but i HIGHLY recommend it. its literally just a txt file.
>>171797373
Gork idiot
>>171773883
>11 hoplites
Unless you intend to RP, no.
4~6 pikemen
2 hoplites to protect pikemen flanks
The rest on ranged and cavalry, depending on how well you can micro
Playable Kislev when?

Alencon besieged by the Bretons, time to kick their tiny spindly little dicks in.
My economy is great, my armies are doing pretty well with swordsman guilds all over the place, I just need some fucking family members to mature so I can govern and make war effectively.
Perpignan is eventually my target but dude they have a full stack ;_;

Just make some shit up
They had an army in a warhammer spinoff game
Or just copy whatever BoTET did, it's not like anyone's going to complain about having actual animations for things that aren't humans or horses

3 infantry units
4 cavalry units
2 artilley units
On top of that, there's ice witches, trained bears (no you can't mount them) and possibly warrior priests for their main three local gods, leaving it at a whooping 11-14 units.
>>171801234
Haha so now I have some former French lands (which are wildly prosperous) but I somehow have the Bretons on the back foot, and they probably won't attack for another 5 turns which is hype.
In other news, fuck these rebels, let's attack.

Blood Knights still godly?
>>171801446
They're only really missing some special/monster units, which would be harder to design or justify than rustling up some more human units.
>>171802123
not in my VH games, they're decent but almost everything I have is shit-tier compared to chaos, the ground is more equal with the empire though. But everything goes by the strategy of drowning the enemies in the corpses of my hoards, which is an applicable tactic if you could actually muster enough corpses to wage such a war.
>>171801946
Didnt everyone hate Rome 2? What exactly was wrong with it?
