iirc empire cannons outrange dwarf ones and do great vs the tightly packed infantry formations of the dwarfs. If you bring handgunners and spread your army out you can easily surround the buff-blobs dwarfs like to form and take advantage of the fact that the dwarfs have no cav to chase down your handgunners with

>Bringing more handgunners is kinda risky if he decides to rush-in all out sudden.

Well thats the point - what is he going to rush with? The fastest units the dwarfs have are gyros, and if he tries to shoot the handgunners w/ them the handgunners will win, and if he tries to melee w/ the gyros you can hav a cheap cav unit nearby to support.

Mages suffer vs dwarfs due to the 25% magic resistance - you could bring a jade wizard to help survive the melee vs dwarfs, or maybe net gyros w/ a light wizard if necessary, but I don't see the need for wizards vs dwarfs

>>
>>172300679
Huh, did not know Kemmler hailed from Brettonia
>>
>>172300874
the problem with bringing bright/grey wizards vs dawi is that their +ap dmg spells also confer magical damage to units, which means that you are going to be doing less damage due to the magic resist the dwarfs have. Fireball to kill gyros doesn't seem like it would be terribly efficient.

That's basically what I figured. I'm sure there's probably a more appropriate Reikland character somewhere, but Ludwig has garnered less complaints than the guy he replaced. I used to have Thyrus in that spot.

>>172301016
Not so much hails from, but as >>172301101 notes, he mostly dicks around there. It's also sort of a weird prospect for him to be working with Mannfred.

iirc the only thing to keep in mind for the welf dlc is that upgrading the tree will spawn beastmen hordes, and that beastmen hordes will always be spawning later on in the mini-campaign.

If CA would ever want to release second non historical title after finishing Warhammer i would like to see something sci-fi/space fantasy based. At first i thought that this will never fit Total War, but after i experienced tanks, monsters, and flying units in Warhammer i think it could work. Especially if they choose some setting based heavily around melee fights (like Warhammer 40k) or make their own. It's not like they have to use someones recognizable IP for their games. They already have a lot of fans, Warhammer brought another wave of them, and taking franchise to space will certainly bring them spacefags too.
I don't see any reason to make Warhammer 2 after they will finish this one. Current Warhammer will be perfect after all those standalone expansions and dlc without much room to improve in sequel to make it worthwhile. And every setting similar like Lotr wouldn't be distinct enough to be interesting. But Total War in space? I would pay for that. It could be interesting if made right.

>>172306471
While I think a 40k TW game could work, I also imagine it would simply be too much work for CA.

And I cant even imagine them doing another fantasy game. I mean Warhammer really nails everything, there isnt any other type of fantasy they could do that would feel unique, not unless they did some major gameplay changes like more customization in units or something.
>>
>>172306870
Yes, its pretty complicated though;

Campaign; Literally doesn't matter, game is too easy
Multiplayer; Literally doesn't matter, battles are won by abusing shitty strats over and over not your lord choice

Just had a terrific mess of a battle with Grimgor and Wurrzag
Grombrindal was reinforcing me, but he decided not to join in and just sat over in his corner like a real dickhead
This is the view of where most of the fighting took place, from the enemy's perspective
They brought 3 spoidas and 2 giants, which I was able to put them out of action pretty early with my archer units
The furthest back blood splotches are where my archers were
You can see that my Eternal Guard on the sides and shoulders of the archer zone got beat to shit

Warhammer 2, as far as I know, is pretty much just going to be an expansion on the first Warhammer. You can play it on its own, but it really is to add more to the base game.

As for sci-fi...I dunno, I'd like to see them try. But I'd hate to see them try to work with Warhammer 40k, even if GW were willing. It's just such a fucking mess.

>>172309101
What you need to realize about Lizards is that they are robots.

They spawn out of a pool already knowledgeable about their position in society and only exist to satisfy that goal.

The only Lizards that are slightly independent are Slann, but that independence only exists to the extent that it lets them do what is in the best interest of the Old Ones as they interpret their 'instructions'. Those instructions currently being 'Chaos is not a part of the plan and must be removed'

So if a bunch of lizards are walking along and see a group of empire soldiers fighting chaos they might join in, and if they did they would 'help' empire, but they really dont give a flying fuck about anyone else. They are hard coded to kill Chaos, nothing else.

None, neither was coded to be friends of the other in any way.

Im sure there is some book somewhere that has some cute titbit about Lizards liking Ogres because of that very fact, but in substance they treat each other like they treat any other race.

But Ogres are the most neutral of all races, they join every faction, so there is nothing special about an Ogre fighting with lizards or chaos or tomb kings or anyone else.

On the last episode of Lizardmen Units, we covered the Monsters. Today we'll cover the Lords and Heroes fielded by Lizardmen Armies.

The Slann are the leaders of the Lizardmen, gifted by the Old Ones with incredible magical power they are some of the strongest magic users in the entire Warhammer World.

They float across the battlefield on great Palanquins, which offer unparalleled shielding to it's rider. This, coupled with the Slann's natural toughness makes them a very resillient caster. The Palanquin also offers the Slann a height advantage on the battlefield, allowing them to easily cast magic missiles over allied Lizardmen and into the enemy.

New campaign map, new battle maps for everything since Lustria/Naggaroth etc are nothing like the old world.

Its essentially the same amount of content as the old game.

October or November seems most likely for release - Escape the winter chill by fleeing to sunny Lustria. (Or Embrace it in Naggaroth, the land that only emo elves could love)

>New campaign map, new battle maps
This sort of stuff is easy as fuck, you literally make an asset, texture it and copy and paste it a thousand times on a map. Why do you think modders have been able to make hundreds of maps in the last few weeks?

The hard part is animations, unique game features and campaign mechanics.

>Its essentially the same amount of content as the old game.
No, it fundamentally is not. There is so much backend design and engine work that has to be done to make a game like TWW. They didnt just pick up the Attila engine and have it work perfectly with magic, monsters, handling these new animations and mechanics. That would have made up the majority of the development time since its code heavy and takes for fucking ever to do.
>>
>>172313160
>Its essentially the same amount of content as the old game.
Content =/= Everything that goes into a game. There is a huge amount of back end stuff that the vast majority of the work has to be done on. Also as that guy said its been in development since release by a second team.

The second Lord Choice available to the Lizardmen are Saurus Oldbloods. In matters of war, the Saurus are king.

While the Slann guides the armies of the Lizardmen, actual field command falls to these ancient Saurus Warriors, who have weathered thousands of years of warfare. As Saurus age, their scales turn from blue to grey and their scales harden even more, giving the Oldblood a distinct appearance on the battlefield.

Oldbloods can be considered to be one of the fiercest opponents one could face in the Warhammer World in terms of sheer ferocity, able to ride Cold One Raptors or mighty Carnosaurs into battle elevates their strength to another level entirely, there's little in the world that could stand against them

Moving on to heroes.

Saurus Scar Veterans are well on their way to becoming Old Bloods, having lived hundreds of years their knowledge of battle has grown and with it their skills.

They can often be found leading great Saurus Hosts into battle on foot, but it's not unheard of for them to ride Cold Ones or Carnosaurs into battle.

Skink Priests wield the magical lores of Beasts and Heavens, and while their power is a far cry from the Slann, they are capable casters all the same.

Off the battlefield, Skink Priests fill a religious role in Lizardmen Society. Priests of Heavens claim their wisdom from the inscrutable Old Ones, while the more savage Priests of Beasts worship the Serpent God Sotek, born of the Twin-Tailed Comet.

And finally, the Skink Chief.

Skink Chiefs are charged with leading the often skittish Skinks into battle, and they perform their role quite well. While they lack the strength and toughness of the Saurus, Skink Chiefs can ride a variety of mounts, including the Stegadon, Terradon, and Ripperdactyl into battle, allowing them to fill a more flexible role.

And that's it for Lizardmen Lords and Heroes.

Lizardmen weapons are made of Obsinite, an obsidian type substance that is as hard as tempered steel.

Let's talk Lizardmen Infantry.

These are Saurus Warriors, the backbone of any Lizardmen army rests in these immovable objects. Roughly 7 ft tall, and armed with a bite that could tear through metal, the Saurus is a living weapon on the battlefield. Armed with clubs or spears made from Obsinite and they become even more terrifying.

Saurus rival Dwarf warriors in staying power and durability, and Chaos Warriors in sheer strength and brutality. There is truly no better infantry wall in the entire Warhammer world.

Temple Guard make up the most elite Saurus Fighting Force spawned solely to protect Slann. Each Slann has his own group of Temple Guard, and the Temple Guard will selflessly sacrifice themselves to protect the Slann.

Glade Guards are pretty amazing against stuff without armor, as they're both strong ranged and decent melee. Henbane poison is just icing (oh it takes longer for you to get to me now while I shoot you with arrows? ha ha fuck you!).

Also the shielded spearmen are great too, these two troops can be 2/3 your army most of the game, you just want to add a Life Singer and armor piercing stuff as you go.

Hang on to that flying archer unit you start with as long as you can. Fast, flying, armor piercing archers are mental.

I think what they were going for in the game was the ability for the ranged units to regularly fire simultaneously, that's why all members of a unit fire at once, even if they have muskets, and there's no reload anims so they can't get desynced and take ages to fire because of one or two members that aren't ready

CA has never done anything that involves units moving as blocks and fighting in set pieces, and they do that well, but they would be awful at creating combat that was based on small unit tactical levels involving squads and shit like that, as well as the idea of cover, etc.

If anything, just give us back the relic of 10 years ago.

>>172319978
this could work though given how combat in the Dune books seems to work, however I feel that DoW 2 would probably be a better model for this if it was purely a story from the fremen perspective since you could make it character driven and pseudo-RPG.

Actually now that I think of it, why the fuck isn't there a Dune RPG where you play a campaign based off of the first book, either being Paul Atredies or some Fremen dude or somesuch?

Fucking hell if Obsidian made a Dune RPG instead of shitting out another Pillars of Eternity / Pillars clone, I would be hype as fuck.

Empire, Araby, Vampires, Marienburg, Bretonnia, Kislev and Southern Realms should be able to occupy only human settlements
Greenskins, Skaven, Welves and Ogres should be able to occupy everything
Dorfs and Chorfs should be able to occupy only dwarven karaks.
Delves and Helves should be able to occupy only elven settlements
Lizardmen shouldn't be able to occupy at all or only their ruins
Tomb Kangz should be able only to reclaim their lost realm.
Norscan tribes should be able to occupy only norscan settlements
Beastmen and Chaos should be hordes and shouldn't be able to occupy at all

I just took my starting province, built some walls, and left with an army of warriors and rangers. Worked fine, took eight peaks on turn 30 while the crooked moon was still trying to siege karak izor (?)

The dwarves had *still* already stolen some of the province, but I confederated them after maybe ten turns when they got blitzed by a massive greenskin army.
>>

Because Dwarfs have such a massive advantage in autoresolve, when they're controlled by the AI they always end up blobbing. Also, most of the clans have the Defensive trait so they rarely get involved in wars in my experience.

Did they ever patch the fact that knocked down units couldn't take any damage?

been reading this thread: https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/178867/why-vortex-spells-dont-work-title-changed-to-avoid-confusion/p1

It's pretty interesting and the dude is saying that theoretically you could change vortex spells so they have less random movements (spin around more instead of running off in a direction) and also change a vortex spell so it travels in the direction the caster was facing, similar to wind of death but more random.

Are there any mods that do that? Most magic mods I've seen just buff the damage to insane levels.

They were horrifying - because they were so tough, and the enemy had so much other shit, I couldn't usually prevent their flanking. I had to let them get tied up in infantry or even my archers, and then try and beat them down. Halberds helped, but not as much as I was hoping.

Lifesaver ended up being the Curse of the Midnight Wind, since it stripped the enemy of their armor. Too bad it was so expensive, I only got to use it twice.

>>172318671
That third banner I had actually gotten from winning the battle, but the first...it had been on that unit of knights that was completely destroyed. In fact, both of them ended up losing both of them because for some reason two units is too small to build a unit back from - and those fuckers were still running around and charging into units at the very end.

RIP, brave knights of Bretonnia. You defended the lands of the lady with chivalry and honor.

The most annoying thing about high battle difficulty in this game is having your lords lose to generic lords when they should be better in every way. It's pretty annoying seeing a level 1 empire lord handle Sigvald and a reasonably high level exalted hero by himself with no problem.

Nah. Don't give a fuck what anybody says here. There's nothing special about playing against an opponent that's only challenging because it gets absolute bullshit buffs.

It's not "difficult" it's tedious and frustrating. Come back to me when CA actually go about fixing their AI rather than slapping on Articficial difficulty and calling it a day.

The great water clock on the temple clicked and thunked as another unit of time. Another two days, and twenty two of what seemed to be roughly analogous to hours left.

The great twin tailed comet thundered in the sky, Perhaps Sigmar had not abandoned you.

The tiny lizard squeaked in alarm and hid within the rags that were once your robes as another group of Skaven were brought out, chittering and leaving patches of urine that steamed on the baking hot temple steps.

They were chained and brought before the pit, shying away from the edge as the massive and inscrutable guards to the great fat frog nudged them toward it with the butts of their halbreds.

One of the smaller kind of lizards abased himself before the enormous amphibian which didn't seem to notice. You could pick up on the words and intentions even from here, although you couldn't understand the language the context was clear.

>Oh great Paypay, accept this sacrifice.

The guards shoved the first rat into the pit. It screamed something about
>Upboats!
as it fell.

The tiny lizard poked his head out from your robes.
>Wat are dey doin?
I think, little one, they are doing something we can all agree with.
>When am big, does hoomin think ah can gif hurts to da rats? I will safe hoomin too.
It coughed, spluttered and rolled its eyes, then seeming to blink itself back to life, the little thing whapped out its tongue and snared a passing fly.

I completely agree, but it's always this way in games. Instead of making AI smarter, which would require effort, make it cheat like a motherfucker. And devs propably wonder why even put in that effort if most people will play on normal or easy and won't ever see it. Whatever the reasons, It's still fucking cancer. 'Next gen' is being thrown about again and again and beyond better particle effects there's nothing to show for it, AI still as stupid as a decade ago.
It's not like you have much of a choice if you want more than just steamrolling everything without breaking a sweat, though.

I'm not just talking about battle buffs. Campaign as well. No public order penalties, instant army regen, income boosts and the ability to sustain armies way beyond what the player can, death stacks that spring from the ground, etc.

Just saying 'fuck it, let's just let the computer do whatever the player can't' isn't an acceptable strategy for making a game more challenging. It's a lazy cop out imo.

Anons there is a reason Attila mp was dead as fuck and everyone stayed in R2. Outside historical autism it didn't really do that much right.

You tried to smile and caught yourself, the Lizardmen didn't seem to understand the human need for water, anything other than scowl might crack them again and you were so dehydrated that you weren't even sure if you could bleed.

The tiny lizard chirped and peeped again around its fly.
>Hoomin eat fly? Can catch?
It sneezed and hacked up a wing along with a smear of mucous. Poor thing couldn't have much longer left either.

Outside the rest of the rats were disposed of.

The great PayPay - the fat frog sleepily half opened an eye. The larger Lizards snapped to attention, the smaller different lizards abased themselves before it.

The fat frog dozily surveyed the throngs before him. Vaguely focussing on a point somehere above you. It shifted momentously within it's chair.
It broke wind voluminously.

The smaller Lizards began to chant, obviously pleased with this development. You had some small knowledge of their culture, enough to understand

The throngs outside were joined by immense monstrous lizards, terrible thunderous saurians.

You'd never imagined when PRINCE AND EMPEROR Franz himself had sent you and a company of soldiers to Lustria to claim some of the fabled gold of the lost cities for the Empire's warchest - that angry midget Von Carstein had invaded the moot, again, and while you weren't sure what Sigmar's policy on halflings was, they were under Franz's protection and not to be used as pinata's by Manfred.

There came a hiss from behind you, a low scything rasp, like a saw through hard wood.

From the gloom outside the bars of your cell a crude bucket was thunked down, murky water within.

Not caring that these beasts would see a priest of Sigmar fall to his knees like this, you grasped the thing to lift it to your lips, to...it wouldn't move.

It was solid gold.

You began to laugh.

The launch was hilariously bad but by the time EE came out the problems were fixed and the community did well in spite of such a botched launch. The fact that it even survived the launch was a miracle.

But when Attila came out it didn't sell well since the R2 launch was fresh in people's minds. Those who did for the most part didn't like it.

Look at the youtube content creators, NONE of them switched from R2 to Attila due to bad balancing and genuinely uninteresting faction-play. Outside of the Legendary WRE run, there wasn't really anything there that was interesting.

The barbarians, the romans, the horsefuckers, the eastern kingdoms already existed in the previous title and were more compelling in it. Suebi and Boii were more fun to play than nu-Suebi, Saxons, etc.

The mess of building chains only counter acted one another so most of the slots in your province were already taken by building taxes that you had no real decision in.

And R2, while favoring mid-tier sword cores had more compelling gameplay than Charge Impact Damage: The Game.

Even after Warhammer's release more people played R2 than Attila

Weeks of trekking through jungles, of disease, of heat, of death had followed.

Your party much reduced had been set upon by a group of dark elf raiders. They had a hag with them, her dark magics drawing some of you away, taking their will and enslaving it to her.

Even Captain Unterhelm had held his arms out stretched to the nearly nude elf and exclaimed

Best you can do is get rulebooks, perhaps RPG books, and read some short stories or novels.

I suppose so, but sometimes the information is contradictory, or doesn't always mesh well with other lore. I can't remember any good examples right now, but at times it can be bothersome - though I guess if they had just tried to make something closer to history, you'd end up with the Empire but with more feudal bells and whistles.

Point is, sometimes I'd rather extrapolate from army book canon and books, and make my own headcanon to fill in the blanks. Though I will accept the lady-knight desperately looking for someone of rank to help her provide a heir before she goes off on a Grail Quest.

This is crudely translated from the spanish Warhammer Wiki since I'm too lazy to look it up properly:

>The Desfleuve castle is in the center of the Gorge Gisoreux. It is the residence of the Marquis Frederic Desfleuve, the young man in charge of coordinating the defense of the whole passage. He is an only child: his mother died during childbirth, and his father died less than a year ago. So far, Frederic lives to match the feats of his illustrious ancestors. As Knight of the Kingdom, he has already expressed his desire to find a trustee to be able to go in search of the Grail.

>Frederic Desfleuve has a secret problem: he is a woman. Her father could not bear the thought of remarrying, so he raised his only daughter to be his heiress. This turns out to be a good idea in all respects except one: the only living person who knows the marquis's secret is her former nanny, but Frederic is desperate to find someone trustworthy who can help her with her problem: how the heck will "he" beget an heir for her title?

rate my theortical tactics /twg/.
The black formations are the skirmishers/shit infantry designed to take the brunt of the enemy advance to tire them out and eventually break. When the black formations break they flee causing the enemy to chase them causing them to clash with the blue formations which are my pikes/elite infantry while the red boxes are my mainline infantry and they surround the enemy engaged with the pikes/elites. Green is assorted ranged units designed to support the blacks and tire out the enemy before they reach the rest of the formation. drew this up in like 1 minute so I didn't account for cavalry or anything like that. never played any of the Rome games nor do I know anything about them so I don't know if this has already been done.

I honestly don't know if the Lady cares, or if it's just impossible for female knights to find the grail even if they spend their whole lives questing. You could argue Repanse de Lyonesse could set a precedent, but I think she was just a blessed paladin.

I would still pay good money to see a female knight 'drinking from the grail,' if you catch my drift. Or to have a lady knight desperately desiring someone trustworthy and of rank to have a child with - and all that's required to make one.

They can add all the siege shit to terry now so it should improve but I still wouldn't use that mod because it adds fucking 8 player multiplayer maps to the campaign which is fucking retarded.

There's a mod on the workshop that only adds settlement defence maps to all settlements and it's a lot better cos it doesn't mess with sieges.

>Vanilla sieges are super easy too though
not if you play a tighter campaign. Pic related is the what most of my sieges have been like in my chaos campaign. It's a lot easier now I got shaggoths though.

Also SFO is made by a retard who doesn't know how to use magic in the first place. Sieges are where my mages can get the most kills of any unit in vanilla so I expect it'd be fucking insane in SFO.

They should have gotten destroyed there, instead they waltzed up and took the wall handedly. It's 50 turns in, but I might just turn the clock back since I have only expanded into Wissenland since turn 15.

Thought I was doing good, instead this campaign slowed down too much after confeding stirland.

An enemy mage breaks formation before the engagement, runs close to your army, and casts a spell that kills men on impact. Do you:

A) Move away from said spell
B) Stand still, but shout "They're casting spells"

If your answer is B, you might suffer from being from Nordland

>>172361906
style of playing.

Best way to play TWW is to play stupid.

It's generally accepted that Pyrrhic victories where you go up against retarded odds and win are the most glorious - so you should never play your campaign safe.

Start retarded wars, expand way too quickly for how big your army is, do stupid shit and you eventually get really good at winning stupid battles with odds stacked against you and campaigns become glorious.

You end up snowballing if you win most of your battles, and it can lead to some of the most snowbally campaigns ever, but then you just start more stupid wars and dedicate just enough resources to them to get awesome fights rather than using all your military power and steamrolling.

It's a relatively minor complaint, but I wish Damsels had more than one model. Something as simple as differently colored dresses for their three lores could help break things up, or maybe having a green wreath for the lore of life damsel, and the lore of beasts damsel with a fur cloak or something, and so on with that theme.

Right now they're all just women with dresses, without even anything interesting to look at. Literally the most boring of all casters.

Well its tough, I don't know shit at all. I tried to attack the vamps who were aggressing me, but I couldn't really field a good army without turtling for a few turns to build funds.

I eventually took them out and I've been fending off Beastmen attacks on my land, and now Chaos are here. I tried attacking Dwarves early but couldn't siege or attack any cities because of some bullshit about the land being too pure.

Ya goofed. If you're planning on staying with that campaign, Try to raise a stack of as many zombies as you can manage, and try to drown Chaos in numbers. Failing that, get a stack of nothing but elite units and a lord with lightning strike, and snipe their stacks one by one.
>>
>>172363750
Quick tip on that last part - once you start sieging, you stop taking damage from the land. It sucks for if you like having a second army to reinforce you though, but undead are survivable - worst case scenario, merge some skeletons and summon up some new ones.

Recruit vampires, spec said vampires into vampiric corruption, and camp them in territory you're going to expand into/attack. Balefire braziers can also help, if the territory in question borders yours. Also, try to avoid fighting Dwarves until you get a decent amount of vargheists/monsters/grave guard. That armor is rough on early game armies.

>>
>>172362593
I've only been playing for about three weeks but here's my advice.

Firstly, necromancers aren't as powerful as vampire heroes, so consider taking some bitches instead.

Secondly, your army looks solid for the early game but when chaos expands south around turn 100 you'll need more elite units to deal with them. There's no shame in bringing six Terrorgheist if you can afford to. Sylvannia, being near the middle of the map, is at more of a disadvantage when chaos comes south than say Orcs or Wood Elves so you'll have to expand quickly to build your armies up.

Thirdly, don't waste turns. Try to be doing something with your armies and buildings. You can spare a few turns to build up forces early on but you should have all of Eastern and Western Sylvannia by turn 30-40.

>I always play max difficuluty but 'realisitically' in that I do what I think the actual faction leader would do which leads to campaigns that can be challenging but usually predictable.

Yeah, I only play on VH with normal battle difficulty but always play recklessly so I get the funnest battles and really challenging campaigns. It's not so much purposeful stupidity, more never giving yourself a break. There's never a turn I'm not building up my army and marching into new territory to conquer.

With Orcs & Chaos this just means being yourself. I never bother with Norsca in chaos campaigns and just go straight for Kislev & Ostermark.

With Bretonnia it's a bit less fluffy, but warring with the empire instead of turtling is fun as shit and leads to some really close battles.

With dwarfs it means if you get a grudge against a faction, you gotta raze all their settlements to the ground - even if it's the 2 penny grudge.
>>

So from my digging
>Carp
>Masterswordsmen
>Panther House

etc are global experience boosts. I thought Panther house was global, but no its local province which shifts it to

>Spears+Crossbows+Shock cav in middenheim
>Artillery+Outriders in Reikland
>Swordsmen in Wissenland

Middenheim is cramped as fuck. Norrland has access to the carp upgrade, as does Hochland but they are at the fringes of the empire.

I think a lot of the Men-at-Arms blur together too. They all have the same colorscheme - which isn't bad, but at least Empire troops have variations on where the colors are, what sort of armor they're wearing with it, that sort of thing, but the Men-at-Arms have no variation - they even have the same off-color patch on the back. It's a sad day when you can honestly say that the miniatures look better, or that you take peasant mobs just for a little variation. And foot squires are just Questing Knights but on foot! They couldn't even add a helmet, or take off the shields?

At the same time, the knights overall look brilliant, and so do the cities - I love how the inside of walls looks like platforms you'd find for tournaments, that's a fun detail. The Battle Pilgrims are full of fun details. And on the spellcasters subject, the prophetesses actually look different from each other, unlike the damsels.

I think more soldier variety is needed across the board, but you're right when some units look better than others. Pistoliers only have one variant across the entire unit, and the Greatswords technically have four but they're almost indistinguishable. It's a pity, especially given the artistic material they can work with.
The voice acting is pretty solid though, the peasants are perfect.

I've never really bothered with chariots at all in TW:W due to how wonky they were in past TW games. They've always felt really inconsistent to me, in that sometimes they kill everything forever and sometimes they spaz out and get stuck on an invisible rock and get murdered by a mob of peasants after knocking one down and failing to kill any.

Rome: Barbarian Invasion chariot-mounted ballistae were pretty good though.

They even admitted to that. They were terrified it could backfire as a Fantasy total war had never been done and were dreading a repeat of the Rome 2 controversy but thankfully that never happened and Warhammer has been a huge success for them much bigger than expected with even 2 of the DLC's(Beastmen and Welf) hitting top 5 best selling TW DLC's so far in the franchise history. 3 more are top 10.

You're right about voice acting - I haven't really found any problems with most units I've played with so far, even in the diplomacy dialogue. It can even be great in how it reflects on your/other factions. Only problem I've had with peasants is sometimes they'll say 'God help us!' when they're routing, which is such a simple mistake but it really is a huge fuck up that seems hard to miss by a canon perspective.

But yeah, the lack of variety is disappointing - understandable, since you can't quite match a miniature game where you can customize every unit, and concept art, but it is disappointing. I've avoided most mods so far, but I would be willing to get some simple stuff that makes units more varied and less bland. In the cases it seems deserved, at least - in Empire Total War, you were supposed to have most of your units look the same, and I imagine some units might have a 'parade ground finish' sort of look, you know?

Bombardment spells confuse me.

The pyromancy one actually deals a lot of damage, it did 1/3 to half of three clumped together units health in a single overcast which made them rout within seconds.

It seems to me magic kills are sometimes counted as kills and sometimes not. Further confusing this is that dropping a big spell on a full hp unit can take 50% of it's hp off, but not actually kill any units, just damage every model heavily.

I don't think anyone got btfo'd last time I brought it up. I don't understand why this is a problem: almost every culture in the setting, including the Bretonnians, are polytheistic. There isn't a reason for them to be referring to only one god, especially since it's not made clear which one it is. Saying 'goddess' would have at least made sense, because it would be implied they were calling on the Lady.

Yeah, still useful as shit though because it makes their morale drop instantly.

I don't get people who say vanilla magic is awful. Since they slowed down overcast vortexes they've been helping me win battles massively pretty much every fight.
