The Southlands is packed with factions:
>Araby, Nekehara, Greenskins, Lizardmen, Dwarfs, Skaven, Beastmen, High Elves, Wood Elves, and the Empire

Does someone have the "expanded" map? There are two different ones, but the one I'm talking about shows a lot of the Southlands and has a bridge between Naggaroth and Chaos Wastes.

Wood Elves are not from Athel Loren, they are any colonists from Ulthuan who remained after the War of the Beard. Outside of Athel Loren, there are Wood Elves in the Drakwald, Chalons, Laurelorn, Sussurio, Dukhlys, and the Cursed Jungle. Whether or not they get added is up to CA, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Why would there be problems for lords? CA uses generic lords for most factions anyway and is quite willing to add in new fluff or changes to balance the game. Adding in factions from Warhammer I would also give people more incentive to buy all the games and DLC because of the interconnection.

Also stop pretending everywhere that has living world roots is therefore populated by wood elves, even assuming we are ignoring the last two armybooks that say that the Asrai are a product of millenia of cohabitation in Athel Loren and communion with the spirits and are no longer like elves anywhere else anymore

never , just like we will never get middenland with cult of ulric units

>>173421858
No. Wood Elves outside of Athel Loren have been retconned as being outposts or raiding parties searching for Beastmen, not full blown Elven kingdoms like they were 20 years ago. In exchange 8th edition gave the Welves 12 kingdoms in Athel Loren, which is represented sort of by the fact the four existing provinces each have 10 building sluts.

>>173422168
Middenland is a subfaction of the Empire and Ulric units exist in lore, it would be utterly retarded not to include them.

>>173422323
>>173422168
The major hope I have is that CA said that Warhammer's unexpected success has forced them to consider expanding the scope of what they were originally planning to do, so hopefully that means we get additional content.

It doesn't matter if they are playable or not, just like Surtha Ekk and Wood Elf factions in Athel Loren, as long as they exist on the game map. All you need to be able to do is confederate or conquer them as Asrai. Faction unlockers could easily take care of anyone who wanted to play as them.

They're inaccurate as shit, I saw one miss SIX TIMES trying to shoot one of my infantry blobs, and one of those shots pancaked several ungors.

>it won't be both campaigns stitched together

Prepare yourselves for a 3 region Empire and no minor factions.
The vortex campaign will probably be the east of Naggaroth and lustria, ulthuan and a little snippet of the south western southlands without any northern parts that include araby or the kangs.
The combined map will have NO southlands at all to dodge kangs and araby.

>>173428136

No?

Strigoi are an entire separate bloodline of vampires, like the Lahmians, the Von Carsteins and the Necrarchs

They once controlled an entire empire, the Empire of Strigos, in what is now the Badlands and their beastly appearance has, in theory if not always in practice, no impact on their lucidity of mind.

>>173428136
I thought Strigoi were just a specific breed of vampire that happens to consume flesh as well as blood. They're not beasts like Varghulf are.

>>173428136
Strigoi are descendants of a particular line of vampires that ruled a kingom in the badlands. They got ORKD and degraded into what they are today.

>>173428136
Strigoi are vamps forced to subsist on the blood of corpses and ghouls due to bullying, varghulfs just give in to their hunger completely regardless of bullying.

Strigoi turned bestial because of their circumstances. Being hobo-vampires they were constantly persecuted and hunted down by both mortals and other Bloodlines. They started eating corpses which is really unhealthy and struggled to retain their sanity.

Varghulf vampires are from a stable bloodline who just gives in and does whatever it wants. They eat the equivalent of Vampire junk-food and start mutating due to losing their Goddamn minds.

No, but that dow trailer was funny.

>>173428675
Then basically anything works. A few things -

1. You'll want to tech up to knights of the realm asap, once you get them you don't really need peasants due to their staying power and you'll probably come to hate peasants.

2. If you want/feel forced to use peasants, you will need the dead grandpa on a stick unit. Always keep a level 2 grail chapel SOMEWHERE just so you can recruit one of these shits. They are absolutely necessary if your peasants need to stay in melee for any real amount of time.

3. If, for whatever fucking reason, the french vampires are going too ham and you feel they're unstoppable a foolproof strat is to get a lord and recruit 15-19 mounted archers. Then, when they fight you, you set everything to skirmish, put your lord in some trees, and afk. Once you run out of ammo, retreat everyone. You'll get a "valiant defeat" and the enemy will be completely decimated while(if you did it right) you've maybe lost 5 peasants.

This is thanks to the fact that due to retarded AI, the french vampires really only ever field giant armies of basic skellies and zombies.

>>173429838
>mousillon seems specifically coded to only use low tier units

Yes and no. Mousillon is fucked and not fucked for the following reasons:

1. It literally starts out the game as a tier 3 settlement, with walls, crypts, and I can't remember the 3rd building (balefire?) but it's not important. This means they have a huge advantage at the start, esp. with walls, however...

2. Because they have crypts and ONLY crypts as a military building, along with no armory, they can only recruit zombies, spearmen, and skelly warriors.

As a result, the french vampires just run around with giant spooky stacks hoping that they get some battlefields to raise higher tech undead from. If their 3rd building was either the tree building or a basic armory we would see a far more terrifying Mousillon running around with either bats, wolves & vargheists or grave guard.

>>173429147
Jesus, vampire magic is so fucking shit.

>>173430295
The third building is a port, not a balefire. They have four slots, two of which can't be changed, and given that the AI doesn't destroy buildings, they cannot build higher-tier troops than basic Skeleton Warriors unless they manage to take out Lyonesse.

>>173430295
>visible areola

reported

>>173430474
Surely you mean "the" fucking shit, correct? Because it has at least three fantastic spells, between Raise Undead, Invocation of Nehek, and Wind of Death.

>>173430496
Oh right, for whatever reason I completely forgot they're a damn port city.

So yeah, walls and crypts are nice but without anything else they're limited to garbage and spam it as such.

>>173430496

Right the port.

Well, they're pretty much damned either way then

Without walls they'd be far too easy to take over.

>>173430496
At one point they somehow got a unit of Black Nights, but that might have been something they raised.

For a while in my game, due to an accident on my part they took over Bastonne after I took Mousilion, but I didn't give them much of a chance to do anything with it - I beseiged it as soon as possible.

But yeah, overall Mousilion is a little disappointing, since it's treated as a minor settlement next to Lyonesse instead of getting to be its own capital. In my games they've just camped around Mousilion rather than try to conquer any other territory.

>>173430614
Danse Macabre is also really juicy in sieges. Melee attack is the strongest stat in the game.

>>173429875
would have been better the other way around, >choose masters of true power
>1 nagash 3 mannies

>>173430798
Honestly I think the region of Brettonia needs a few more settlements, because as-is not all the Dukedoms are in the game and everything that is in the game has only two regions. This is a pretty severe drawback to the AI as they can't reliably specialize provinces. If even a few provinces had an extra region or two I think we'd see a much more dangerous Brettonia.

>(you) in charge of reading comprehension

I'm referring to the "mega-campaign"

>>173432660
The problem with the archer towers is when I can't do anything with the units that are getting shot at. For instance, as Bretonnia, if I'm ever sieging, my knights will always take a lot of damage since I have to wait for the gate to open up before I can use them, and no matter how far I bring them back or try to hide them in trees, they will get shot at. Trebuchets are the same deal, as well as grail reliquaes. The only way I can avoid them getting shot at is to stick them under the walls somewhere between the towers, and hope the enemy doesn't have archers or spellcasters.

I know it's just me and that others will use the bombard tactic, but in most Total War games I've never been a fan of using siege equipment to take out towers and such, since that's something I'll have to pay for when I take the settlement. And I really don't enjoy the automatic garrisons, which half the time are crappy or make use of units I never want to use (like Yeomen).

does the AI know if you have hidden units somewhere?

I had a couple of nasty skulkers on top of a hill and the AI sent 4 cavalry units to that hill. The rest of my army was like a mile away from that hill

it was kinda bullshit

They clearly meant Skaven have two starting locations in the new world alone. It would make sense if they also had two starting locations in the Old World since Skaven are a global faction. That way people with the New World game get two lords and locations for each faction instead of getting gypped and being forced to buy the Old World if they want to play the second Skaven LL.

I just don't bring trebuchets and stuff most of the time. Siege towers and battering rams do the job, and they don't break anything that doesn't get automatically repaired when I take the place. I'm only going to break shit if I know I'm going to raze the settlement afterwards.

Ghorst gets summon Grave Guard, that shit is cash. He's a souped-up necromancer and easier than shit to unlock early on, also giving a research time reduction. Azhag on the other hand you have to either start with or unlock first at settlement level 4 + Shaman's hut, and then it takes over a dozen levels until he even becomes decent.

Oh baby, gimme something I haven't beaten yet.

So I'm trying to do Gelts last quest battle and im getting my shit pushed in, any recommendations?

>and losing because of that is retarded though
in Attila it only gives a morale debuff, it doesn't lose/win battles

Doesn't the game end if you accept something like that?

I just can't get a foothold in this campaign, and I beat the WRE campaign in Attila. What the fuck do I do?

>>173436026

>All your base are belong to us

Holy shit, it even fits, 2004 was right around when AYBABTU was reaching peak normie-meme status

>>173434126
because CA is fucking lazy and incapable of delivering on people's expectations for the combined campaign. They have expressed multiple times that they are cutting content for the "mega-campaign", and this is only parts 1 and 2 of the eventual 3.

Ghorst Wurzag and Morghur are the best caster Lords in the game.

They already said this though in one of the articles that mentioned the trailer though. Until we see the map we simply don't know what this means. It could very easily mean a return of the theater system from Empire total war for example.

my armenian empire is in total disorder lads

egyptians and seleucids both came at me while i was knee deep in seleucid territory, had to evacuate 5 cities i conquered to regroup my armies, faction leader Rusa the Conqueror just died of old age, tried to hold out in a city with a great general but was overwhelmed narrowly, and I am now a protectorate of Egypt

my ancestors are weeping right now

>over dignity
What? It's just a toy, what's wrong with it?

>>173438484
So... this is the power of chivalry

I can't bully vlad into confederating with me, can I?

Beat his army, sacked his only settlement and he won't confed for peace.

Not as much as your descendants will.

>>173439973
Your knights ran away, too. They are also fags.

>>173439973
How did you even lose that much shock cavalry? You did pull them out after charging, right?
