I was playing around with setting my graphics settings too high for my machine, and seeing how badly it goes
One thing I noticed was that the quality of the self-shadows changes pretty significantly based on viewing angle
Does this happen because the game detected my less-than-spectacular framerate, or does it do that based on amount of other things to draw in the scene?

(reposting my tactical map autism)
I've been playing empire lately, the pace feels right and allows for slower movement and watching things play out but the fucktarded AI kind of sucks the fun out.

I was hoping warhammers tactical view would be either more detailed or more simplified like pic related, hard to do with the dynamic unit shapes i suppose. As it stands the tac view doesn't cover a lot of the field, the units from above arent easily discernable and the icons dont give much of a representation of where they are and how theyre spread without highlighting.

Something 'bout them rectangles just feels right with showing troop movement. Apparently rome did it, why change it?

So lorefags, assuming each faction gets four legendary lords (two starting, one free-lc, one paid), who do you think they will be realistically?

Tyrion, Teclis, ?, ?
Malekith, Morathi, ?, ?
Kroak, Mazdamundi, ?, ?
Skreech, Skrolk, ?, ?

It's a holdover from Games Workshop's crappy models. They couldn't get basic proportions right and it was easier to just make the helmets cone-shaped by design. So a lot of helmets look like they're made to be worn by Dan Akroyd.

>Malekith, Morathi, Helleborn the Hag Queen, Malus Darkblade Ruler of Hag Graef
>Mazdamundi, Kroq-Gar, Tehenhauin, Nakai the Wanderer

List of Warhammer races from Good guys to Bad guys

1. High Elves (Pretty much the only "real" good guys in setting, they just want to protect world)

2. Empire (It really depend on elector counts, but if we talk about Karl, he is a good guy and want to keep empire uneted and safe)

3. Dwarfs (Too butthurted and mostly cares only about themself, but can comes to aid to other dwarfs or even empire if shit goes really bad)

4. Lizardmen (Technically there are the good guys but, too fucking stupid and probably will attack other good guys because again too stupid)

5. Wood Elves (If you ignore wild hunt they only cares to protect Athen lorel so probably neutral)

6. Bretonnians (Only cares to protect themself and too busy to brainwash peasants into degenerates)

7. Dark Efs (If you ignore edge and sacrifice and slavery they are not THAT bad)

8. Greenskins (Goblins are less evil than orcs, but both of them too dumb to understand, what they're doing is wrong)

9. Ogres (HURR DURR WILL KILL FOR FOOD)

10. Everyone else are just pure evil

>>172756574
Agree with everything except Ogres. I'd put them below Bretonnia and above Dark Elves.

Most are dipshits sure, but others are mostly ok, and more usually than not they're just mercenaries. Some, like the Leadbelchers, actually have a semblance of morals, which is more than we can say for any Dark Elf

Never was much into the elves, so I can't say anything about them.

They'll need one or two "regular" looking Lizards. Maybe Tehenhauin or Kroq-Gar.

They routinely wage the everloving fuck out of war against the folks you listed as the top good guys of the setting. The majority of them think the best deity ever is the god of bloody murder and worship him exclusively, and the rest of them worship a soul-devouring god of depravity. Nobody ever allies with these guys because fucking everyone has experienced being raided by them. One of their national holiday celebrations involves murder cultists running around town and stealing toddlers to throw in a big cauldron of boiling blood. One of the most powerful castes in their society is the one made up of their militarized executioners corps. Every single estate in their cities has walls several times the height of an ordinary person, because everyone in the city thinks their neighbor has it out for them.

Fucking Ogres are better people than these douchebags.

Fuckhueg Lizardman. Older than dirt, too. The reptile priests think he's a nature spirit. He sometimes shows up out of nowhere to fight in important battles, but at other times he's AWOL.

How will Mazdamundi be balanced without ruining the lore and essentially making lizardmen weaker than they are?

>>172756574
First of all, Lizardmen are Lawful Neutral, not good. Dark Elves most certainly are fucking Evil, just read up on them. High Elves I kind of agree tbqh, they are assholes but atleast they are ultimately good. Being a dickhead isn't a crime.

Greenskins are below Ogres though, they are Evil and I don't know why you feel Goblins are less evil than Orcs. If anything Goblins are MORE Evil than Orcs from what I've read. At least more Malicious.

You have to at least switch Bretonnians and Wood Elves around. Bretonnians have been all in all nice to the Wood Elves and tried to make friends with them, but they keep getting Wild Hunted. Wood Elves are overall neutral, but they are more than willing to harm others, and for a long time they struggled with Chaos taint.

the beastmen call themselves the sons of chaos for a reason. They LOVE chaos, they want to please the gods as much as they can. Some of them are jealous of the warriors of chaos because the Gods only seem to care about what the mary sues do.

They are the chaos race that usually gets shit on, Archaon and other chaos lords subjugate herds by killing their leaders and then they use the herd as bait and fodder. It's kinda sad honestly.

In one of the thanquol novels a man from araby runs a warpstone residue/opium den, he gets his supply from the skaven and in return they use the den to kidnap and threaten/bribe drugged up humans.

In the Queek Headtaker novel a brettonian mercenary says how there were childrens stories about ratmen offering deals and giving you riches for a terrible price. Being a filthy peasant he jumps at the opportunity to sell out the dwarfs to the skaven.

Why don't the Slann just go "hey you know we're pretty much the main force against Chaos?" and then have the elves and hopefully everyone else go "oh shit wow we should work together."

They fight Chaos for 1000 years and don't even say anything
>>
You a skink attendant. You were born to do a job, and that is to record the words of a Slann magelord.

Twelve hours every day without exception, you have gone into the chamber where the Slann is, switch out with the other shift of Skinks, placed diamond tips on your claws and prepared to write down anything they might say on a stone tablet. These words would be debated and analyzed by skink priests to interpret their meaning.

The Slann hasn't woken up in four thousand years. He hasn't said a single thing in all of that time.

The first decade goes by, and you begin to wonder how the other tens of thousands upon thousands of skinks thought about this job.

By the third decade you are dreaming the most bizarre and strange shit imaginable about what the Slann says

By the time you are about to die of extreme old age, you are hoping with the fervor of a zealot that you will hear a single thing, just one single thing from the figure that your life was centered around.

You die and never hear a thing.

Slann don't like working with other races - they're disorderly.

But to be fair to the elves, their vortex is legitimately helping. Before they made it, the world was being flooded with daemons, and Lord Kroak died in one of those incursions. Between the Ulthuan vortex and the Albion one, the Slann get a lot more breathing room than they otherwise would have.

Yeah, they had their hands full dealing with like 80% of th demon invasion so they couldn't even begin to try and close the gates, so the elves really were life savers by then.

Once hell had stopped leaking everywhere and the frogs could afford to look around and check the vortex thing they thought it was a neat trick but it was clearly falling apart , so from that moment to the present day they help keep it stable.

I believe only Teclis is aware that there's someone else keeping their vortex from imploding.

Do the other races know anything about the Slann beyond the fact that Lizardmen are mostly primitive zergers?

>>172760939
They don't get around to interact much with other races. They mostly hang around in Lustria and the Southlands, far removed from everyone else who might have an interest in hearing them out. People who visit those places are typically only interested in taking stuff from them, so from the get-go the context isn't conducive to a discussion about stuff that pertains to the greater well-being of the world.

Lustria's hostile environment was a product of the power of the Slann during the First War Against Chaos. It wasn't just armies of lizardmen fighting the daemons, it was the jungle and its inhabitants as well.

No one remembered to turn it off.

The Lizardmen understand that the humans and dwarfs and elves are the rightful inhabitants of the world, but they were supposed to stay in their own places in the world. The elves in particular were told that they were not to leave Ulthuan on pain of death in exchange for their paradise.

So when people come to Lustria, get past all the death jungle and murder snakes and try to steal lizardmen relics, everyone gets really really mad.

The Slann couldn't be bothered though, they're too busy trying to save the world from Chaos, and sleeping for centuries doing astral shit is a part of that.

The Slann aren't really 100% clear on how things should work anyway. The first generation is gone and there's nothing left of them, and everyone from the second generation onward can really only speculate on the Old Ones' plan--supposing that there even is a plan and that the Old Ones didn't just promptly pack their shit and leave when everything went to hell. They interpret old texts, tablets, rock carvings, oral traditions, and so on, and they try to figure out what the Old Ones want them to do, but there's not even a guarantee that the Old Ones even left anything that was meant to serve as instructions for what should be done to steer shit up in their absence.

They buffed vortex spells recently so they're actually decent.

Download the minor settlement pack mod and magic suddenly has a place where it's useful other than sieges.

Most of the maps are pretty well balanced, although the main problem is that the AI doesn't behave any differently despite the fact that you have more of an advantage now as defender.

That said, this 1 map, the rest of it is fantastic, but it has 1 small spot on it that's basically a small cliff with only 1 entrance.

I got attacked by full orc stack when I only had a tiny army because >>172762058 this happened so I couldn't recruit anything.

So I just placed my entire army on the little cliff with most of my melee dudes at the entrance and 1 or 2 to shield my mortar from their archers.

12-14 orc units all bunched up to try and get through my line along with an overcasted golden hounds got me 300 kills per cast.

I'm gonna leave feedback on the mod cos that 1 spot is OP as shit (pic related is the last siege I played on it, without using the retarded spot and gelt still got 260 kills which is decent).

I didn't take a screen of this one for some reason.

If you don't wanna download the map pack you can still easily get 200-300 kills on wizards in sieges if you play it right though.

It can't be helped, the Skinks were never meant to be the guys in charge of society while the frogs sleep. They were never meant to have any religion outside of the Old Ones. They were never even meant to be warriors or be in the armies.

They're just trying to do the best they can under some pretty shitty circumstances, even if they can't really tell the difference between High Elves and Dark Elves and Wood Elves unless Chaos worship is happening. Their mindset is pretty alien when it comes to how a people can be so divided upon itself, especially when they themselves get along with so many different species.

dorfs are too stubborn, can't use magic, and their grudges will kill them if they don't act on them. They're also resistant to change, too resistant to it since it can take 80+ years for a 'prototype' to move on to the next phase of development.

And the slann's nature can't be helped either. They've been pushed into some very trying times, and chaos is taking a massive toll on their thought process and energy.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but any ideas on who the Legendary Lords for the Skaven will be?

I would normally say Thanquol, but I'm guessing since this is the new world they will be focusing on Clan Pestilens.

Though considering how popular Thanquol is, I can see CA shoving him in there for the sake of it. I mean, this is the same guy that a Slann of all things let live because of how much he would fuck over his own race.
>>
>>172764641

>but any ideas on who the Legendary Lords for the Skaven will be?

My guesses are Lord Skrolk and Thanquol
>>
>>172764306
>top 3 wizard in the planet.
He's in his own category, top 1.

Anyway isn't a youngest generation Slann stronger than Teclis or Nagash?
>>
>>172764743
>isn't a youngest generation Slann stronger than Teclis or Nagash?

Not quite.
>>
What's the most badass unit in tabletop, Kroxigors or Minotaurs?
>>
>>172764743
Probably Teclis, but Nagash is really fucking good.
>>
>>172764743
Named characters > generic characters
>>
>>172764743
Teclis and Nagash are pretty much the toppest tier of mages alongside Kroak
>>
>>172764520
He can do more than just blow shit up. It's just that he typically opts for resolving situations by exploding them away.
>>
>>172755345
>Skreech and Skrolk as starting Skaven LLs

It's more likely Skrolk and Thanquol, given how the latter has his fuckhuge ratogre to ride around and be a melee combatant with.
>>
>>172764831
Minotaurs are better than Kroxigors if I remember right
>>
>>172765039
Really? I'll have to reread some things then. I could've sworn the army book said that Kroak forgot just about everything besides deliverance.
>>
>>172764743
Nagash is pretty up there, it depends on whether or not he has all of his artifacts with him too. But still, there's a reason why he is considered the big baddy of the setting (aside from horned guy with daddy issues).

I mean, he was such a threat that the fucking Skaven united and aided another race to try to stop him. Whenever that shit happens, you know the person responsible is pretty fucked up.
>>
>>172764842
>>172764743
>>172765001

Nagash is essentially unkillable and he's without question the most potent user of Dhar/Necromancy, but he's kinda overrated when it comes to pure magical muscle (still top tier, mind you)

It's not until End Times that he gets super roided out and leaves Teclis in the dust.

He shows off some more stuff in The End Times. I'm not sure if that's still treated as a hot potato, though. Feel free to dismiss it if you like.
>>
>>172765357
Probably the classic undead looking one, I can't see them using end times stuff.
>>
>>172765350
in what context?
>>
>>172765409
I haven't looked too far into the End Times, so that must be it. I honestly like the idea of him being more than a meme wizard with one spell.
>>
>>172765445
Custom maps
>>
>>172765427

I believe Boneripper had more than just those two versions, given how it kept dying.
>>
>>172765357
>>172765427
Honestly, I wouldn't mind them using the End Times version. It isn't a bad model, and it does work more as an impressive monster than the classic one.

Though I am leaning more towards them using the older one. Though probably giving it a bit of a re-imagining considering it is a bit dated.

While it would be a nice thing for all the races of Order to get together and kinda get working along, there's a problem with it.

Sure, Imperials and Bretonnians and Estalians and Tileans and Dwarfs and High Elves have all worked together. There's a little problem with Lizardmen, even if certain people have managed to get along with them for their ends.

Look at the left. Almost everyone in the Old World and Ulthuan knows about the left. Just about every soldier has fought against one of the Beastmen.

Now look at the right and try to figure out how to sell it to the masses that the right one hates Chaos and has nothing against the realms of Order.

Without being burned to ash for being a fucking chaos mutant lover.

Depends on who is leading them. Vlad is the reasonable sort who could see there are greater things at stake. Nagash is an arrogant prick who would only do so when the world is literally on the brink of ending.

As for Tomb Kings sort of undead, they kind of just keep to themselves for the most part. Only really venturing out when people steal their shit. I mean Settra said fuck you to Chaos, but that was when they tried to take advantage of him.

So jagged-horn tribe rose up in Vamp cunt land and proceeded to chase them across the empire facefucking the vamps undead rotjaws. I hate to kill these cows, but the empire cannot tolerate beast hordes. Could give them a turn or two to see if they leave since I have more pressing threats.

It's a bit more interesting to speculate on the DLC Lords/Heroes/Units for Best Elves and (other) Worst Elves.

On the other hand, Lizardmen would prefer to deal with reasonable people whenever possible.

How would conquering the Lizardmen in campaign work?

If any army was serious of a threat enough to decimate the Lizardmen entirely, enough Slanns would wake up from their nappies to entirely wipe out any incoming army like they did with clan Pestilens

So would it really make sense that there would be a strong enough Dark Elf army for example that could challenge a civilization that still has a ton of ultra frog wizards?

You have to make a real effort to get them to listen to you.

They live in an extremely hostile world where just about everyone who visits their lands wants to pillage it, kill and enslave them and usually worships chaos gods. After almost seven thousand years of this, the skinks tend to lean towards "kill them and ask no questions"

No, their big flaw is following a plan that's thousands of years out of date, and probably doesn't take into account how the world will change without the Old Ones around, and is in a fractured state anyway.

If the Lizards get really really mad, then deals can be made as well, so long as they're not mad at you.

During the Storm of Chaos campaign, Morathi took a bunch of Chaos marauder and elves from the Cult of Slaanesh over to Lustria while the Slann were busy trying to keep the Chaos Wastes in astral land from expanding.

This invasion had the effect of making the lizardmen so angry that they had Skink emissaries going to Port Reaver with gold and gems to hire out ships to attack the Slaaneshi ships and kill everyone. This included Norsemen who would normally be joining the pillaging as free agents, except that A) they hate Dark Elves and Morathi and B) They hate the Hung marauders and C) Prefer fighting at sea than getting into the jungle

Have you ever heard of Krell? He used to be a Chaos Champion, and his soul was claimed by Khrone after his death.

Nagash after his own resurrection still took his soul away from Khrone, the whole shebang, and made him a wight.

This is just one minor note in a long list of ridiculous crap that Nagash has done, that has never been equaled or surpassed. He is stupid powerful in his original form.

Skinks talk.

Saurus do talk, but they are not very talkative by nature.

Otherwise you'd be listening to an Old Blood go on and on and on about how everything was different when the Old Ones were around and Skinks didn't do any of this superstitious crap and everyone understood the Old One's technology and would never dare to tie a Solar Engine onto the back of a stinking Bastilodon and the Orcs were properly culled every so often and the Skaven would never have had a chance to survive past a year and etc etc

Necromancy was invented by Nagash, the Great Necromancer, it is a modified version of Dhar, Dark Magic, which he learned from some Dark Elves he captured and tortured.

Most magic works by weaving a certain Wind of magic and channeling it to do thing that that wind has affinity for, like how Aqshy, the Red wind of Fire, is good for burning shit.

Dark Magic, and by extension, Necromancy, works differently, instead of separating and channeling a specific wind it basically roughly tears all the nearby magic out of the aether, brutally forcing them to do it's will despite the disharmony and entropy this creates.

In this way it is somewhat similar to High Magic, Qhaysh, which is also called "True Magic", but Qhaysh works by weaving all the winds in exact, perfect harmony, while Dark magic is crude and thoughtless and thus almost entirely destructive.

Necromancy, as might be obvious, is also primarily concerned with the unnatural extension of life, which is why it can knit together rotted tissue and raise the long dead
>>
>>172779185
Basically magic from the chaos gate gets into a body and reanimates it, since magic is attracted to souls and dead bodies have a little bit of soul in them. It happens naturally and via necromancy.

Pretty sure that's not even accurate, High Elves are supposed to be knowledgable as hell and travel all over the globe because they basically own the seas.

Also they treat everyone else like they're subhuman, consider themselves the greatest thing to ever exist and like to pretend the rebels who broke away from them centuries ago don't even exist.

Bretonnians are pretty isolationist and technologically limited, they're heavily reliant on the Lady's magic and thus their proximity to a certain forest, much like Wood Elves, they don't leave their homelands very often.

I think that's why you don't see them in Lustria in large numbers, you might get the odd mercenary or questing knight who's taken things a bit far, but in terms of large-scale expeditions, it seems to be mainly the Norscans, Empire, Estalia and Tilea.

Though the real reason is because the Norse and Rennaisance Europe traveled to the Americas, and medieval France/Norman Britain didn't.

It's selling better than Fantasy did. Lore-wise it's pretty fucking dire though.

Early on it wasn't doing too hot, but recently it's become a pretty decent seller for GW. They've improved quite a bit since its shitty start, the Disciples of Tzeentch thing was a really good seller too recently.

Mostly it kicked into gear once the General's Handbook came out.

Fluff wise it isn't the best still, the worldbuilding is a bit lackluster, but they are working on it. But very slowly. I'm still waiting to see what the fuck they are doing with the Undead, Elves, and other shit.

The problem with WFB wasn't the cost pesr model, and despite what people say about GW, for the quality of the models the price is correct.

The problem was the sheer amount of models needed to field an army was huge. My lizardmen army ran 104 models, and that was a quality list mostly made up of Saurus Warriors, if I has decided to run mostly Sinks I could have been looking at 200+ models easily, while some factions like Skaven and Vampire Counts could hit model counts in the 300's.

That's a TON of modelling/assembling/painting, and it really turned people off to the game, smaller model count games like Warmachine were attracting new players because of their ease of access, but WHFB was simply too steep of an investment in both time and money for most gamers

Only if you wanted to autistically stick to whatever ebin netlist you found around the internet, what you needed to start was literally a starter box per player (and those come as pretty good deals) and some minor stuff here and there to flesh out the armies, plus the books.

>>172784098
GW models are good quality plastic multi components, you honestly have what you pay for compared to the competition. Individual models in other games cost more and generally have less quality or aren't made of plastic, and all in all are more of a pain to work with (not to mention that in some cases you can't modify your models at all). An argument could be made about you needing more models in WH than in other games, but that's up to the players first and foremost, no one stops you from playing smaller games.

Yes probably. If I remember right, the Empire gets a diplomatic penalty once it owns more than a certain amount of territory, as the other factions get worried that they're next on the list for 'liberation'.

Don't worry though, the storm of chaos will come soon and they'll all automatically love you and want to join your empire, thus making all your previous interactions with them ultimately pointless.

I got it for $12 on the humble bundle and still haven't even cracked the 50 hour mark, I don't think I will ever play any of the DLC, I understand I'm in the minority but outside of most of the setting it just didn't do it for me

Still going to get the second one for the lizards though, I hope they improve the game instead of just taking the first one 1:1 and replacing the assets

It depends. I think it might be possible to give it to Ungor because I think their animations might be normal human ones. Or closest to it, no digitgrade legs and all.

If you want to do an experiment:

Go into data - land units. Go to data__Core, find handgunners, check their animation column.

"hu1_empire_sword_rifle".

When making an ungor rifleman unit, give them that animation. See what happens.

If it isn't satisfactory then you would need to try and go into the animation fragment and create a new animation. I'd walk you through it but I know how to do so in Attila, not warham.

Holy shit Attila diplomacy is so fucking broken

Tried playing as ERE to help out WRE. It was hard but succesfully got my shit together, but oh wait now every province is rebelling so you can't do shit! Pacify everything, and now you have to build 3 fucking types of barracks just to get mixed troops (inf cav and skirmishers)! By now the WRE is just some provinces in Spain, the Ebdanians travel from fucking IRELAND ignoring every other enemy and every province that rebelled from the WRE is now attacking you with different armies... and now the Sassanids are attacking you too! Wooh ho, even though you've turned their stacks to dust and razed 3 settlements they still keep coming and don't accept peace! Actually, no one does!

Can't believe I lost my time with this shit.

>git gud

Yeah, no, if I need to cheese the game to win then I'm better off not playing at all. This game needs some sort of manpower system or something like that. Your enemies are back in two turns and for no reason at all sometimes your food just ends. If that happened in reality the Byzantines wouldn't last two decades (and they BTFO'd the hordes AND the Sassanids before the mudslimes came)

The AI cannot into WRE. It starts in such a shitty location and requires the ability to sacrifice indefensible provinces for the good of the greater empire, which the AI is just not equipped to do.

Occassionally it gets lucky, loses the right provinces and manages to claw them back with AI hax but it's rare.

It looks like some of the code is still there to have them, at least so far as "standard bearer 1" and "standard bearer 2" and "musician" are still listed in the land_officer table.

If it works, you'd just need a suitable model with a drum or instrument, and figure out how to give that unit a specific audio clip. So perhaps look at what darthmod did, figure out the tables needed and what you had to do to tie audio to the unit, and reverse engineer it.

There are multiple teams newfag, history team has been in development since the Attila launch and they are currently considering some new DLC thingie for one of the history titles

In Warhammer 2 they are adding a new continent and some time after launch a mode (we don't know the specifics) where you get to combine the two games, essentially it's an expansion you are paying full price for
One of two expansions I might add, there will be two and they will all be full price and have another full price game of DLC

I sure am surprised that they announced this less than a year after releasing the original though, calling it 2 gives me justification to charge full price, you would think they would have the patience to milk us too

I like to RP a bit.

Trebuchets can be good on the defensive - if you can get Blessed, do it, but the regular Trebuchet is honestly not spectacular. The magic damage really makes it.

I would recommend using Men-at-Arms with Spears and Shields as your main line unit. They're survivable and strong enough, and more than anything else are a guarantee in your army - take at least two or three. Make sure to get at least two peasant archers an army if you can afford it; they're cheap and good at helping whittle down enemies. Men-at-Arms with swords are okay, but they're a stopgap until you get the superior Battle Pilgrims - they're great to send in once your Spearmen have been attacked. I'd recommend one or two of those. The must-have unit is a Grail Reliquae - it will allow your infantry units to actually last for a surprisingly long time, which you will need against most any enemy. Keep them in a central position, and they can do alright in melee if you think you can risk it. Don't necessarily go for a balanced force of infantry - they need bulk more than flexibility, and the peasant economy cap is going to hurt you if you try to get a little of everything. I recommend Spear/Shields in front, Pilgrims/other infantry behind. Peasants could be in front, but should fall back to last rank.

The good news is that tactics for Bretonnia is generally simple - bash infantry, and then bring your cavalry around to charge from the flanks or rear. Let them linger a few seconds do get all the damage they can do done, and then pull away to 'cycle' - pull away a decent distance, and then charge again. Knights Errant and Knights of the Realm are shock cav; Pegasus knights can obviously fly, but have less men and are flimsy. They're support more than shock. Questing knights do better in extended melee.

For your Lords and Damsels: horses. The mobility and charge bonus are worthwhile, even if your Lord gets stuck in melee and your Damsel sits back. Life best lore, Beast okay. Get leadership buffs.

They literally get punished by their gods if they refuse to maintain their grudges.

There was this story of two Dwarf Holds that were fighting for a long time, they didn't even remember what the original grudge and reasons were, they decided "fuck it, this is pointless" and made peace, on the peace ceremony, a statue of one of their gods came to life and wrecked the shit out of their leaders, they devolved back into infighting and ended up having their Holds overrun by Greenskins that took advantage of the situation.

Most WH babbies in /twg/ are /tg/ babbies. They're already okay with paying 1k plus for tabletop models. Paying full price for Warhammer 2 + another 60$ worth of DLCs is nothing for them

This.

I can't grasp why people are so shocked by this and screaming JOOOOZ on repeat.

They laid out from the start that there would be three games, with a combinable campaign map.

That premise requires them to have a pretty rapid release schedule for all three games, otherwise the third game would end up looking old-as-shit if they stuck to the normal TW release windows and still wanted it to be compatible with the first title.

WH:TW has enough content to equal any of their previous titles too, so it's not like they've taken a single TW game and arbitrarily chopped it into three parts to try an cash in.

Except the differences between those factions is fucking abysmal, what I listed is literally true, for all the faction "choices" it boils down to barbs, romans, middle eastern, huns and sort of unique slavs.

Dont get me wrong, I love Attila, and its probably the best historical TW game. But warhammer has shown that all the history titles were fucking amateur hour from CA. Its hilarious people are bitching about CA releasing four actual unique factions for the new warhammer game while sucking the cock of games like Attila and Shogun 2 which did the exact same but with far worse factions, literally only had 2 or 3 unique troops, not entirely unique game mechanics and armies.

Thank god they are ditching this '100 factions and only 5 cultures' shit. They've already said the next history game will copy warhammers unique leaders and factions.

>lizardmen
>stupid
The slann are quite literally the smartest beings in all of warhammer. The thanquol and boneripper novel in lustria showed this quite well: slann are beings of pure order, they see the universe as it truly is, the math behind it, not just """magic""" as the lesser races see it. Moreover, lizardmen are the only ones trying to actually follow the old ones will, every warmie fucking shit is not following the plan, letting chaos win.
If elves, men and every other "good" race hadn't fucked up and strayed from the plan, then the lizardmen could have focused on killing chaos, orks and RATMEN FUCKING SHITS, GAS THE SKAVEN, RACE WAR NOW, PRAISE SOTEK
But nooooooo, everyone else had to fuck up and cause problems, and we got the end times. Imagine if, instead of having to stop the moon falling, lord kroak had willed himself back to life and then shown that bitch nagash what true power is, all the while handing the ever choosen his ass.

Lizardmen did nothing wrong, warmbloods are the cancer which killed whfb

Actually as GWS stated in their financial report I think in 2016; there is no relationship between the TT and vidya player bases. In fact the crossover of people playing TT and buying miniatures and vice versa was entirely non existent.

The people who like TWW are either new to the series, or old fans.

Just goes to show how new you are to the series

No warhammer kiddy shit will ever beat any historical TW. Fuck are you talking about 100 factions and 5 cultures? Take a look at Medieval 2, the pinnacle of the series, the faction difference and uniqueness is miles ahead of any warhammer shit they put out, Mongols, Aztecs, Timurids, England, Denmark, Russia, Moors ALL had unique units, cultures and tactics, and these were ALL included in the game, no paying 100$+ for extra factions. If you had played the game you would have known. Meanwhile in Warhammer you can choose between 3 factions which are completely bland and boring and then you have to pay some more to get some variety. What a shitshow

The only thing that makes that game playable is mods, and ironically it has about 3 distinct factions, with little variation between them. Stop kidding yourself, and stop thinking that older = better.

I've played both for years. TW:WH is widely discussed on /tg/.

Games Workshop has, until recently at least, been proud of the fact they do precisely zero market research or have any kind of contact with their customers beyond the exchange of money and product.

You might as well use the an Amish newspaper as a source of information on the fucking Moon landings.
>>
>>172795853
The nature of TWW2 is way different than Rome 2.

TWW2 is basically a standalone expansion pack in nature. That's why I expected another title.


Rome 2 doesn't even use the same engine as rome 1.

Yeah.
