Oda on Legendary in S2 was an interesting campaign for me. Especially since it was my first successful campaign and i ended up triggering Realm Divide unknowingly, leading to an absolute bloodbath as i tried to consolidate my lands.
Right now i'm also running a Burgundy campaign in Attila that ended up being quite comfy, had some long time allies and back and forth fighting with the nearby Franks and Caledonians.
Honorary mention to Sciipii in Rome 1 just becase of the sheer time i've spent with them in general.

vortex spells are actually pretty awesome now that they slowed down the overcast version.
All they really need is to increase the frequency they rotate to make them just a pinch more reliable and they'd be pretty well balanced.
Dear man-things,
Your warlord, Karl Franz, 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 hills, led by Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Horned Rat curse his 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
Whats an ideal army comp for fighting vamps as empire? I cant decide if swords or spears and shields are better for main line. and obviously crossbows instead of guns, but in general what else do you have in your armies?
>>172377874
I don't think this was written by the Dwarfs.

I think they've done something else alongside the 25% movespeed reduction on overcast vortex spells.
Purple sun used to deal no damage even if it hit right but I've just used it and it routed 5 fucking units at once, killing 200 dudes and letting me bring my dragon ogres through the gate and wreck the rest of their army.
>>172377682
nice write up
Knights of the Blazing sun...what are they useful for?
Even with mods that make them easier to get, they are worse than all other empire melee cav. reiksgaurd, demigryph, and regular empire knights are all better. i dont get it..
>>172380718
they're pretty neato looking
>>172380718
They got better stats than Reiksguard, and flaming attacks.
>>172379389
It's wrong though, shadow wizards are very potent. Decent Buffs, debuffs and a highly effective AOE spell do not an inferior lore of magic make.
>>172380718
It's just a reiksguard unit with flaming damage and slightly better stats.
>they are worse than all other empire melee cav
False
>regular empire knights are all better
bullshit
>reiksgaurd
They have better stats and magic attacks (which makes them weaker against dorfs but stronger aginst welves. Nice ap damage all around tho)
>demigryph
No point even comparing it to demys. Demys are a single best cav unit in the game. Literally.
>>172378747
I like Grey Wizards in Man O' War; the spells to redirect wind and deflect enemy wizard spells are really useful.
I just got the WE dlc. What's a good end game army composition?

I can understand feeling bad about the large price tag, but it was on Humble Bundle for 12. If you can't cough up a couple of fast food meals, with part of the money going to charity, then maybe you're just a cheapskate.

Orion
1 Spellsinger (Life)
1 Waystalker or Branchwraith (Branchwraiths have a combination of Life and Shadow)
10 Wardancers
4 Wardancers (Asrai Spears)
2 Waywatchers or Wildriders (Shields)
1 Sisters of the Thorn
Warhawk Riders, Great Eagles, Treemen, and Forest Dragons are all good units but I'm stingy with my amber until the Oak of Ages and Technologies are complete.
Keep in mind Orion and Durthu have an amber tax of different units.

>>172381064
Demi are the only monstrous cav in the game currently.
>>172383017
I find it kind of bullshit that monstrous cav works so much better than chariots in this game.
>>172377940
mortars are good for thinning out blobs of zombies/skeletons, if you postion them correctly they can fire at the enemy line from the minimum range and be incredibly accurate. Sunmaker/hellstorm are good to, but can't be used at close range like mortars. Light wizard for the global morale debuff + nets in case you need some help w/ fliers.
>>172383178
Chariot post buff destroy lines, not sure what you're talking about.
>>172382885
I literally don't have 12 dollars
>>172383335
Net also synergizes well with your artillery, keeping units away from the line so your arty can pound them some more. Really you just need to focus the vamps fliers, their cav, and grave guards other than heros and lords.
>>172380438
the bret patch changed the way vortexes effect lighter units, it used to be they were disproportionately effective vs heavier factions like chaos + dwarfs, which was counter-intuitive.
>>172380718
for the murdering of elves. Pair them with a bright wizard for that global flame weakness as well. They can be useful vs vamps for removing crypt/hex units
>>172383420

Why are magic missile spells so fucking useless in this game?
>>172386363
they used to be incredibly strong, to the point where the light wizard was the most effective lord killer in the game. Then CA nerfed them hard. They have actually been improved slightly in the last couple of patches, but they are nowhere near where they once were
>>172386516
I feel like they're only powerful in extremely specific circumstances, and when the terrain allows it.
>>172378743
less units per unit
also think of the outriders like this anon, they can sit on their horses behind your front lines and constantly shoot into the enemy without hitting your troops, as opposed to handgunners who do more damage due to more units, BUT on foot.
>>172383937
are you telling me you couldn't save up 12 big boy bucks in an entire month anon? do chores or some shit or use your autismbux.
>>172386363
they're ok, just really hit & miss.
Gaze of nagash & that lil waaagh spell can both take a huge chunk of a monsters hp out, and most of the time you never miss them.
Sniping lords & heroes with them is way harder though.

What really makes a Blessed Trebuchet better than a regular one?
Anyone else feel that 20 unit armies are too limiting including agents and lords? I actually had the idea that you still have the 20 unit army cap, but agents and lords dont count. Maybe each army has 20 slots for units and a seperate 3-5 slots for agents and the lord,but no more. I feel its kind of lame since the lord automatically takes up one slot, then most armies you want a wizard and maybe something else, so you essentially only have 16-17 unit slots. My armies dont feel diverse enough since I have to cut back on either ranged, cav, or arty if I want any agents in there.
>>172388258
better damage, magic attacks, and I believe the blessed one is more accurate
>>172383937
this is beyond my comprehension
>>172388304
On the contrary, I think 20 unit armies are too big. It allows you to have pretty much everything you could ever need in a stack - 3-4 armor-piercing infantry, a couple arty squads, 3-4 defensive infantry squads, a lord + a wizard, and still have 6 whole squads worth of customization left. I think the squds sohuld be bigger in size (ie an imperial swordsmen squad should be 200 men or so), but there should only be 12 squads in an army, so the unit choices you make are more meaningful.
>>172388771
That's retarded. Shit like a chariot vs a one unit deep line? Would be instantly gone.
>>172388304
I think an interesting twist would be to have, let's say, 30 unit max army size, but also do the Mount & Blade thing where the bigger your army, the slower it goes. That way you could have exciting low unit Elite Strike Force armies as well as a hulking huge Main Army.

Is always an asshole that never wants to confed.
>>172389182
Hmmm... yeah that's a bit fucked hey, though they wouldn't get much dosh from their Raidings... but yeah, maybe revise Raiding mechanics? Then again.. in real life that probably happened, Norscans raiding and running for years.
>>172388304
I approve of this idea. One or two "free" hero slots. You can still if you want to have nine vampires stick the other seven in the "main" army pool.
It would almost be like having warhammer army selection rules sort of.
>>172389227
Boris has been a shitshow in my campaign.

>>172389294
Officers based on your generals level? In-kind skills that you select that give free hero slots? Make it so that stacking officers in an army has negative effects?
>>172389440
Impossible to confed with him because he has a 3 province area meaning he can afford two whole armies which keeps him relatively equal to you in power.
He also never goes to war with anyone hardly, so he rarely loses those armies.

What have you observed generally happening with each Empire province?
I'd ask the same for Bretonnia, but the dukedoms seem content to not do shit except occasionally fight dwarves or Mousilion. I wish there was a little more wiggle room for them to have infighting.
>>172389968
Middenheim is the least defendable territory in the game. It's long and full of shit you can't see from.
>>172376083
VH skarsnik, may as well have been legendary as I don't recall savescumming
I immediately took out tree hitler as this was during the blitzkrieg phase of welf campaign AI, and doubled back to take all of karak norn out in a series of ambushes
I used this province to misdirect Belegar and the empire provinces while Skarsnik took off on his own, but I got into a bind around Glacial Lake which resulted in a very close victory, only pulling through with Skarsnik's starting squig hoppers who were unbreakable due to the Bad Moon Banner, managed to chain route the tileans after even skarsnik and the arachnarok scurried off in the underway
After raiding a few turns to rebuild Skarsnik's army, I set off again towards karak 8 peaks, destroying or dodging some mutinous gits while Belegar figured on retaking Karak Norn
This didn't go quite as planned because prior to gaining a foothold in the badlands, I lost all of my settlements and began to suffer attrition, unable to raid in order to avoid the negative attention of Wurrzag, Grimgor, and whoever else I needed to trespass through to get back home
I caught a real break when I managed to make diplomatic contact with the Red Fangs who were reduced to Crooked Fang Fort and perhaps a couple surrounding areas
I snatched them up in confederation quickly and set Gorfang Rotgut to work, clearing out Karak Azul and fighting off Mutinous Gits before the attrition-relieved Skarsnik got there
From Valaya's Sorrow I was able to lure the defending stack at K8P into an underway battle they thought they could win, and wiped them out entirely, taking K8P the next turn
It was great, later went north to fight chaos and the wood elves
>>172390283
good staging grounds to remove norsca from though anon
>>172389458
I reckon that would work better if we could embed heroes in units.I recall that this causes the engine to melt down however.
I'd still really like a couple of extra boxes for heroes to go in. A limit of 2 for most armies except Issy and Belegar's even.
I love for example with the empire having a priest and a Captain or wizard and Witchhunter. It'd be nice to bring more than one or two without gimping my army. You could even require that embedded heroes can't be taken out once inserted to sort of limit it.
>>172389595
I have no idea.

Probably the Himyar in Attila. Running a desperate campaign with one army razing the east while the endless sassy horde assaulted Alexandria had a race against time feeling you don't get from most TW games, It was so satisfying finally taking the offensive and cornering those shits.

dwarves are probably the easiest vh faction, your line is still close to unbreakable and greenskins are still shit. be prepared for grimgor to confederate a lot of the badlands very quickly, but so long as those southern dwarfs are still there to distract him you shouldn't have too many problems

Had a fucking blast doing a Rhun campaign in TATW. Such a fucking fun faction to play as and they did such a great job with the roster considering what limited information they had.
Had quite a lot of fun with a Rohan campaign too, blowing the fuck out of Isengard early then just sending massive cavalry stacks to help Gondor remove orc.
Contrast with my way-too-long Eriador campaign where I struggled for SO LONG with those trash spearmen waiting until I could turn into Arnor but in the end I just got bored and gave up since I had BTFO everything around me anyway. Only thing that made it fun was the rangers, those guys are legendary.

Whoever said rectangle formation for TW:W is a genius. The AI is retarded and even with flanking units it doesn't matter.
Who the hell cares if 2 of my units get a shit ton of friendly fire. I'd lose way more in an honest fight! And look at that. They didn't even go to half health with fucking hellstorm rockets hitting their backs.

how much work do you think greatsword skellies do anon?
>>172408296
We finally have a spiritual successor to the noob box, now with more explosionsand vaguely looking like a vagina.
>>172407501
I'm on normal.
This is still my first real campaign (first one past turn 30).
I don't know shit about other faction's rosters. I see vampires I see scary monsters. I don't really know how they stack up against the Empire and what crazy magic they have. I don't even know how necromancy works in this game. How they raise troops or keep them going and heal them in battle.
My army could be better. This was basically my test of empire artillery. For example I don't have any handgunners, could probably either switch the great cannons for hellstorms or mortars for more cannons.
>>172408402
I must be using reiksguard wrong since my army is pretty static and I usually let the enemy come to me so my cavalry is usually doing other cavalry fights or I just forget about them while I'm watching enemies explode. I still can't get over how great this game sounds and looks.
I know. Hammer and anvil, but fuck. You don't even have to micro with artillery. And this is the first TW I've played where artillery isn't shit.
>>172408454
I'm pretty sure the AI can handle this
>>172408402
They do a lot, but go try the same battle out yourself and see if you can stay below 156 loses with lines
>fight a battle as Bretonnia vs. Mousilion
>quicksaving faggot trying it over a few times, but it's a challenging fight since it's a blessed trebuchet, yeomen archers, and one unit of foot squires against a bunch of skeles and zombies that overwhelm by sheer numbers (my army was 'inherited' by confederating Lyonnesse)
>due to a little AI retardation and some decent micro, realize that I can distract the enemy necromancer so that half his force is out of range, so I can crumble them when they close to melee
>even after he gets in range, manage to keep crumbling, send my Prophetess in there to fuck shit up and keep spamming her only spell, Awakening of the Wood
>by some sort of miracle end up getting all the skeles and zombies to crumble and die
>just prophetess and necromancer
>she wimps out due to all the health she lost, leaving the necromancer the only survivor
She didn't even get to live - she died because she had retreated from an earlier battle.
>>172408541
i'm not saying you would lose less men with lines anon, i really doubt you'd lose the battle with them though
>>172408454
I should iterate.
My arty wasn't on the sides. It was on the bottom, winging out from the sides.
So the 2 mortars would be belor the troops, hellstorms behind those, volley guns on the close side of the troops and cannons on the wing end.
Yes, the formation was literally a dick entering a vagina.
Reiksgard behind them just in case.
>>172408540
As long as you keep the arty far away from the enemy, they wont go for it. But it does have to be a considerable distance.
Been playing Attila for a bit, haven't really gotten in to it until now. I've see people complain about impact damage being crazy and demolishing spearmen but i haven't noticed that much so far, at least not when braced/spearwall (playing on Legendary). Is it mostly the higher level cavalry that's broken or is it just in regards to non-braced infantry?
>>172408454
I think that would really work best with melee heavy armies - notice that the other guy was fighting against Vampire Counts, and had cavalry to counter what little cavalry they had.
I don't think this would do well with an enemy with a strong archer presence, strong cavalry, or like most Northmen armies are, marauder horsemen and chariots. The AI is stupid, but it's not dumb enough to refuse to flank when it has units that can do such.
The traditional noob box also has an added benefit of being able to be reinforced, if you can get a second rank in there (where I tend to put my swordsmen and halberders, personally). If something starts getting overwhelmed, you can throw more troops in. The new thing looks like you have to hope that the enemy doesn't eat away too quickly at your units.
>>172409148
God. I would have no idea what to do for chariots.
Are they unarmored? Maybe crossbows. Artillery wouldn't do a fucking thing unless the volleyguns are good at hitting them.
>>172409074
Its most noticeable w/ unbraced units, units that don't have access to mass-increasing formations like shield/spear-wall, and any melee inf.
>>172409148
You can rank a rectangle too anon-san
This all being said the best formation is still lines with gaps which arty shoots through and lords in the middle to stop units getting past. Keeping everything close is just safer.
>>172409324
>Are they unarmored
Of course they are armoured. You need dedicated non-infantry anti-large units to take them down. Anti-large cav, monsters and so on.
>>172408962
Bullshit, any cavalry would charge the arty
>>172409074
>>172409390

Well shit, guess i need to be careful with enemy cav. So far i've managed to blunt most charges with wardogs and braces but my fellow barbars haven't really fielded tons of them anyway.
Guess i'm in for some shit when the Huns come knocking.
How many more days until THE day?
>>172410349
Its most noticeable with factions that bring lots of shock cav, as the ai enjoys frontally charging their shock cav suicidally w/o support, which can really fuck your shit up. Huns are a completely different kind of nightmare

Fellow Dawi, I fucked up.
I thought I'd lure the filthy elgi into the underway for an easy victory, but I massively underestimated the scum. The speed and ferocity of their wild riders and eagles and I chose a fucking awful spot for the battle. My thunderers and cannons couldn't get a good shot and I didn't have enough ironbreakers to protect them.
To their credit, every infantryman and thunderer fought to the last, none routed off the map and my irondrakes especially held back the filthy knife ears surprisingly well.
Still, many good dawi lost their lives because I McFucked up.

>comparing millions years of evolution to a combination of 1s and 0s that was made by rolling one's face on a keyboard.
Can somebody please explain the follower gained shit at the start of your new turn?
Let's use the scribe for example. Can I only have 1 for all of my lords? Like if Franz has it can Gelt not have it? Because it says I've gotten a dozen scribes by now and it says they're ready for action and when I look under any lord it's the same leftover bullshit. Useless banners, and army vision range and ambush defense bullshit. No campaign movement from scribe. This is especially infuriating when it has to deal with money as I'd like to assign them to my asshole in Altdorf sitting and collecting taxes.
>>172411186
Yeah, guildmaster engineer from the All Tabletop Lords mod.
Well I guess he's a Daemon Slayer lord now lmao

>Averland
Madmans that declare war and sue for peace a bit after. Once undead start attacking they hold their own for a while.
>Stirland
Gets eaten by either Averland or Vlad or Mannlet
>Nordland
Takes the coast from Ostland, often goes to war with Marrienburg
>Middenland
Does nothing except go to war with Marrienburg if I am not Empire. If I am Empire, they won't confed for days so I just kill Boris off fast
>Hochland
Does nothing or dies to Ostland or on a rare occassion, Kislev
>Talabecland
Dies to Ostland
>Ostland
Usually loses the coastal city to Nordland and the eastern fort to Kislev, but takes over Talabecland, keeps it's capital and more often than not, takes over Hochland
>Ostermark
Is the main target of Talabeclands army when it goes to war with it with Ostland.
Either loses its capital to Talab which is then taken over by Ostland or Kislev and bunkers down in Essen or it losses Essen to undead and bunkers down in its capital.
>Wissenland
Gets reduced to Nuln quite fast and confederated down the road pretty fast.
>Marrienburg
Had to separate it since when I'm Empire, it dies first. If i am Brettonian, it does first. If I am not near, more often than not they develope into a 2-3 province regional power.
>>172411791
Shit. I'm looking now and apparently I have more than 1.
Nevermind. I don't know how I was missing this.
>>172411791
because you can get multiple of them, if the lord has empty follower/banner slots they'll fill them before going into that pool.

In my latest run, Skarsnik, Marrienburg conquered Altdorf and was on their way to to conquering Middenland as well. That money they generate so early on gives them credit.

Does anyone have house rules for firearms in wfrp 2nd ed? im finding them underwhelming, im thinking

3.loading powder and bullet into paper charges reduces reloading by a half action

>Greenskins aren't as prone to losing the Badlands Bowl, and with the settle anywhere addition they can actually come up and threaten human lands

Are there any mods which give other factions the Wood Elf Outposts mechanic? That could make things interesting...
>>172417110
The only thing you really need to make the AI stop being a bunch of morons is the increase capital size and tier 4 settlements

Skaven are up there with Dwarfs and Orcs with having easy to meme gimmicks and language. They're also very popular so get brought up a lot by the dregs of their fandom in often cringe worthy ways.

>>172424337

To be honest I just don't see it happening. CA have been sticking pretty hard to their "no DLC for DLC" policy. Plus they could easily get one or two extra DLC's out of the Skaven.

I feel something like Estalia or Tilea might be a good bet. They're human so don't require as much work as say Chaos. Plus they'd have a presence in the Old and New World so if you just own game 2 you have something and get even more out of it if you own game 1.

>>172425361
That'd be a perfect introduction for Clan Pestilens.

Oh, there's still plenty of cringy edgelords I assure you, and I doubt it'll ever stop being a thing.
>>172425483
Well thats the thing, honestly they could work in game 2 or 3.
I just think they'd make sense being in game 2 because (using that data map as a example) their territory slots in quite well with the lizardmen's side-by-side. it would just feel strange to me to have Lustria open up more in game 3 or to have the map follow a strange pattern until then.
I don't know if any of that makes sense, not quite sure how to explain it with how visual aids.
Anyway I feel Tomb Kings will be a DLC race because they really don't have a huge or complicated roster, and a lot of the work needed for them mechanically is mostly done really.
>>172390232
>Averland
What the fuck is even going on down there: the province. They always hate everyone and then get rekt fairly early by their neighbours. I once confed Marius because he was literally alone as the single unit in his last army having lost Averheim.
>Talabecland and Stirland
Always on good terms, they might declare war on each other and fuck relations though.
>Middenland
Talks big, but never actually does anything. Impossibly to treat with until late in the game, moment in which they're desperate to get confed.
>Wissenland
Coin flip on whether they are on good terms, declare war on me early on for seemingly no reason, or just get steamrolled by gobbos.
>Ostermark and Ostland
Might as well be norscan. Every single interaction I've ever had with them can be resumed as "I WILL DRINK FROM YOUR SKULL". Followed by getting their own skulls drank from once chaos starts rolling in.
>>172426243
>Anyway I feel Tomb Kings will be a DLC race because they really don't have a huge or complicated roster, and a lot of the work needed for them mechanically is mostly done really.
True, if they have a straight nekkid skellington model, dressing it up isn't too bad.
They don't add land in DLC though do they? Our map hasn't changed has it? I never went into Brettonia before the Welfs came out to know if the woods there changed or not.

That's what I mean, plus given that the Tomb King skellies are better they could get away with using human/horse/chariot animations. Really they only have a few unique monster units.
But yeah like where they are is just under the badlands, so it wouldn't be that hard to add. Plus you have Araby very close to them. So they could have the land occupied by a few basic NPC factions until they can be made.
Also this >>172427256
>>172427717
Just give them a chunk of the existing Badlands even. What's the place in the bottom right? Mist Mountains? Plop em down there, retexture a mountain so it looks like a Pyramid, boom. Would spice that place right up.

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tomb_Kings
>>172427127
They thought they were going to be resurrected as youthful immortals to rule for all time.
They were half right.
Do Tomb Kings dream of skeletal sheep?
>>172427532
Atmosphere in S2 was pretty great
>>172427127
Basically, way back when Settra told his priests to figure out the secret to both immortality and how to perfectly bring someone back from the dead, so that one day after he died he could rule again and bring it into the glorious immortal golden age. When he died, the priests did everything they could to prepare him to eventually be revived, so he had a shitton of preservation and protection magic put on him. Kings that followed after his death adopted this as a tradition, all of them wishing to eventually be revived when he did.
A long way down the line Nagash happened and Arkhan fucked everything up for everybody. Nagash and Arkhan's magic killed everyone in Nekehara and raised almost everything as mindless undead for their armies or something- but the tomb kings themselves were protected due to their preservation spells. But once all of that shit blew over the necromantic magic had still wormed its way past some of the protection and raised them as undead, though their protection kept their minds fully intact.
So anyway- all of the Kings themselves, the priesthood, and other individuals who were important enough in life to have lavish burials with protection magic are completely sane undead that for the most part just want to see Nekehara return to it's former glory and to kill the SHIT out of anyone connected to Nagash. Most of their armies (and 'citizens') meanwhile, are nearly-mindless undead; most people tried to get SOME magical protection when they died because everyone wanted in on the promised golden age past death so most of the skellies seem to remember who they were loyal to and not much else.

That was the leaked placeholder map from the game files in May 2016. It's been fan edited with major lore settlements.
Warhammer has been a huge success and they expanded their plans massively for both expansions. That means even bigger landmasses and factions with rosters. A dev confirmed at a local games festival last year during a reddit interview that the first expansion will contain 4 base factions and a landmass similar in size to the base game.
>>172430093
I wonder if you only have Warhammer 2, will you encounter all the races so far, or just a subset?
I doubt Wood Elves would be in the New World, for example
>>172429134
is this suggesting that all of not north africa is just one province?
>>172430402
You will be locked in the new world if you only own Warhammer 2 but remember the new world also has greenskins,beastmen,vampires and human tribes on top of the delfs,helfs,lizards and rats.
It's why with the Old World edition update they changed the layout of campaigns.
Grand Campaign and then Story Campaign.
"Warhammer Campaign"(GC name pre Bretonnia) is now called "Old World" because obviously its set in the old world. Logic would dictate Warhammer 2's campaign would be called "New World" and Warhammer 3 would be "Land of the Dead" something along those lines to incorporate the south and east of the old world. I think there will be an option called "Warhammer world" or "Whole World" which essentially unlocks everything you own including DLC into one big map.

>>172431708
I think skaven will end up with a roster like the dwarfs; mostly infantry with a fair amount of ranged options + artillery.
But their infantry units will be beastmen tier, useless if outnumbered. Probably with worse leadership.
They might make giant rats into war hound units but aside from doomwheel that should be the only speedy unit they have, their standard infantry should be relatively quick.

As much as I love TW:W, Vermintide is the best Warhammer game in terms of attention to detail.
Post things you've found out and were surprised about, and things rarely mentioned.
Yesterday I fought a siege battle in Carcassone defending against Estalian shitters, at turn 350. Much to my surprise, all of the garrison forces were gold ranked. Until then I had thought that garrison forces do not gain XP, but I was wrong. The global training boost of Bretonnia has trained all of my garrisons to gold. (I won ages ago but I just want to fight sieges, and declared war on everybody)

>>172435951
that game had potential, and great combat. shame most people only played the first map or stopped playing altogether after the last.
the shitty gear system wasn't really enough to keep people interested, and a lot of the later maps were plain annoying.
>>172432428
You'z tell me.
so what's going to happen with skaven if you own the first game but not the second? is there just going to be a big empty skavenblight tumor there forever?
Is it normal that every battle I play as orks tends to be a phyrric victory when I control them myself?
Dwarves just don't like to fucking die and when facing other orks half my army is feeling at any given moment.
I feel like have to be doing something wrong, but I'm still winning, I guess.
Also is there some secret strategy to not getting fuck anihhalated when a stack attacks an undefended outpost and all you have to fight with is the garrison? I've tried hiding the entire army in some trees but even doing that I can never even manage to make the unlucky scout squad rout half the time before the main army catches up and slaughters them.
>>172436313
I had some intense siege battles in Erengrad after I ventured forth to recolonize and fortify it.
I eventually lost it, but not before I had laid waste to many chaos armies trying to take it from me. Those fools.
>>172415260
Seems like a good list
All those building slots seem kina ezmode ish for players?
>>172436313
I've fought one siege, but it was one where the enemy had two full stacks, with giants and shit.
It was rather awkward, since I hadn't actually had a defensive siege battle before, and I didn't know how weirdly the walls worked in this game.
>>172436523
phyrric victory is a meme, don't let that bother you
winning matters
>>172436523
the only good orcs are black. auto resolve is too easy, more fun to play even if you lose more units. unlike attila most the time you wont be able to defend a settlement with a garrison. there's a few map packs out now which make all settlements more settlement looking but they don't exactly help, that's why you build walls on every minor settlement.
>>172436313
What are people like you even doing? Are you on lower difficulties with less aggressive AI, do you leave more than just the garrison so that the AI doesn't get a favourable enough power-balance bar? I don't get it.
>>172436523
you'll be losing a lot of troops against the dwarfs til you start rolling out black orcs
>>172436634
It actually benefits the AI much more than it benefits the player, an experienced player at that.
It's one of the few mods that's actually effective at allowing the AI to field better armies (and allowing you to fight those kewl mod units for factions you aren't playing as), because it increases the odds the AI will actually build the things it needs to field them.
>>172436861
I impulsively build walls in almost every settlement in case some Norscan or Beastmeme doomstack decides it wants to ruin my day.
>>172436926
>>172436634
Well, there is one buff. That mod includes the one which makes Angrund/Crooked capital Karak-Eight-Peaks when they conquer it, so they get to trade.
That's about it for player-specific buffs, seeing as I've never ever seen the AI for those factions even close to Eight Peaks
>>172436926
just get the ai buildings and recruitment mod, it makes the ai build proper settlements without giving the dwarfs a massive buff
>>172415260

DEEPEST LORE
/hist/fags, how retarded would it be to put a layer of leather over a shield? Would it give any combat benefits?
>>172442606
not as effective as having a pube beard
>>172442606
Nah. Stick some linen over it then you can paint it and wax it. It'll do just as much as leather, unless you mean boiled leather which would make it a bit tougher
There are birds in the background, forest theme.
WHAT IT MEAN
>>172442606
Pros:
>adds extra material to penetrate
>pretty durable
Cons:
>makes shield heavier
>comparatively expensive
>doesn't actually help that much
In sum, it's not worth it.

OK BOYS
I don't remember where we left off so LETS RECAP!
I'm playing Navarre! We have literally no heavy infantry, but our missile units are pretty fucking baller including our jav cav.
I need 50 provinces or so to win, I'm allied with France.
France is getting the shit kicked out of it, primarily by Brittany but also by England. In screenie you can see that I am beginning to invade the English territory on the continent so that they stop bullying the French.
PLAN:
>Build lots of armies to do two things with
Plan 1:
>Bully Savoy into giving us Genoa, bully France (or negotiate somehow) into giving us Narbonne so we get big dosh from our Mediterranean lake
>Included in this is taking the rebel Citadel of Avignon which is gonna need at least 2 full stacks, no joke. It is the best defended settlement on the entire map - a full, 3chevron, full upgrade stack sitting in a citadel with fucktons of heavy inf
Plan 2:
>Beat the shit out of the English, peace out after we take their French holdings
>Beat up Brittany so that France can hold on a little longer
at some point I have to turn on France bc I need the fucking land, and it's close, its poorly defended and its pretty rich

Are you even watching the stream? There are literal dinosaur sounds. It isn't history this time.

Perigeaux is gonna be hard as shit to take, but I manage to catch this half stack away from the fortress.
Also in this turn, Cahors (the rebel city in this area) falls to my troops, so now the English are on the ropes here.
New expansion adds Ulthuan, New World and Southlands
Southlands have Lizardmen and it allows them to add in Tomb Kings and Araby as DLC for Warhammer 2.

Was it really that hard? If you wanted to cheese and just get the faction, you could just pick the faction nearest to them and wage all-out war to get them. Especially early on, if you just ignore everything else, they won't really have the means to resist you.
I ended up unlocking the Byzantines at the end of a Portugal campaign, because everything else but Cyprus had been lost to them. That usually seems to happen to the Byzantines in most games.

>>172446745
As much of Iberia is present on this map - so like the northernmost third, really.
The idea is to take all the Mediterranean provinces, but that means three things:

>Have to declare on Savoy
>Have to take Avignon, a monster citadel with a monster stack inside

Alright, the English are coming out of the woodwork here. I think this is the stack that was trying to take back another rebel settlement. It's looking like another easy victory but it means I have to postpone my siege for at least another turn.
Also, in the south, Marseille has revolted away from my control. The culture mechanics in this mod are hard as fuck to get under control.

>>172448000
>>172445584
I was going to see if I could jerry-rig a knight animation (lance charge, sword melee) like I did in Attila but animation tables are animpack for Warham, so I dunno how to open that.
Looking at animation fragments it might be possible though for some mounts: There is a dmeigriph sword and shield animation (and lance sword shield, so it already exists?)
I'll look into if you can open animpacks later.
So what does everyone hope is going to be in the Lizardmen faction? I really, realllyyyy want the Dread Saurian.

I'm not sure how, I've never tried modding stuff before - but yeah the animations for it should exist already.

Post cute lizard
>>172447434
Would they even bother adding in Araby? They seemed reluctant to make Kislev any different from the Empire - there's so many unique factions, it might be hard to include one that barely had a model range.
>>172452982
Aah Kislev, how i want you so~
>>172450073
Anon, aside from the (two?) Warhammer games, Total War is mostly historical.
If CA is pushed too hard, eventually you'll be left with no 'gud' historical periods, at least as far as ones that would be fun to Total War in are. People are already mad at the Chinaboos, and there doesn't seem to be any interest in the Americas, Africa, or anything like that.
>>172453165
Right lads need some mod help. I tried to give Free Company Militia fire while move, and in-game they have that attribute but they don't do it. Is this a problem that I can fix, or is it something to do with animations that there's no way around?
>>172452676
I really like Bloodbowl lizardman designs

>>172453309
Oh, you mean they ride the bears?
>>172451598
I don't think that'll be true, considering that they've more or less dropped cities without walls.
Which kind of sucks - the buildings look so nice, and they're actually pretty well spaced in the half-cities you get. Imagine actually getting to use streets as chokepoints and defend a center, especially if you had a town center that your units could retreat to and lose their broken status...it would make sense for Lizardmen, since spawning pools.
By Sigmar's blessing make the 'old friend' be something for the Empire
>>172450073

>>172453501
>Ulric's teeth
Now I'm even more confused
>>172454039
I think it's the idea that Ulric's symbol is a wolf, so it's more like wolf teeth.
>>172454039
Ulrich, god of wolves, war, and winter. Wolves have teeth as a predominant facial feature. Basically same thing as "oh lawd ave merci"
