ERRANTY WAR
So I was asking in last thread about making a mod which added great-weapon variants of all the lords.
Someone said it'd be easy to change the current lords to have great-weapons (i.e making the desired stat & animation swaps), but adding a new variant would be a pain, anyone know why?
I thought it'd just be as easy as adding the new lord variant to the roster.
Im such a fucking scrub at the campaign in this game idk what the fuck to do, I can wreck face on the battlefield singleplayer and multiplayer but not campaign.

Looking to give the historical games a try, which would you recommend for someone who's only played Warhammer? Thinking about Shogun 2 and Attila at the moment.
I love Dawi.
I love their battle cries.
I love the /comfy/ start spot.
I love killing orks.
I love their unites and the lords.
I love the quest item battle intro talk.
But after the VH 600 turn game I just had as Brettonia, I am never touching those stunted cunts ever again. Second turn after Age of Peace hit they went to war with everyone and you couldn't reason with the cunts even when they only had Silver Road province left.
REMOVE DAWI
>>173744796
Shogun 2 is probably one of the best Total War games in terms of polish and gameplay, if you don't mind Japan and restrictions that came from setting (samurais killing samurais). FotS even better and offers best artillery representation in series.
>>173744989
>600 turn game
>magic is bad
>>173744580
Don't expand too fast or you will suffer the rebellions.
Always try to have watch tower/watch gate in every city because it gives you some siege turns so you have time to react
>>173744580
>Kill the rebels and get Reikland under control asap.
>Get Marienburg, I usually get the whole province but you don't have to.
>See if you need to defend Stirland form the undead, can't let them get out of hand. Confederate Stirland if needed.
>Confederate Nuln and Averland if possible
>Wait for Chaos
Now, you can either rush or confederate Talabecland and Hochland and make a stand there. If Boris stops being retard and joins, that can help a lot.
And that's about it.
After Chaos is down, grab the new lands in the north, clear Varg camps using raid until they sue for peace. Once that is done just let them clear everything and you just resettle it for ezpz mode.
But yeah, Reikland into Marienburg and you're set as Empire. Don't overextend at start
>>173745194
I couldn't have allowed the little cunts to stay unchecked.
Once I finished my main quest battle and got my chivalry well above 1k, I had to deal with them. I just had to.
>>173745414
see I took marienburg, the whole province but I had problems with skaeling bringing 3 full stacks to attack marienburg and also 2 full beastman stacks down south in Wissenland, did I just have bad luck or does this happen everytime? Thanks for the advice.

>>173745642
I get Marienburg walled up and get a dude in there with Honest Steel and stuff like that. I literally rename him Marienburg Guard and keep him with basic troops and generally geared for defending the city in a siege.
Beastmen, just ignore if you can. You should have walls in all of your cities so once you get Reikland and Marienburg, use beastmen and savage orcs as a way to confederate Nuln sooner.
BUILD WALLS EVERYWHERE. Focus on Greatswords and Reiksguard Knights at start. They are easy to get in the first few turns and also have more Crossbowmen than Handgunners. Handgunners are good against chaos.
Remember, there are NO Wood Elves in the Southlands
>>173745642
not the poster you replied to, but you can deal with skaeling shits by simply bunkering down in Marienburg. Maxxed out Marienburg with walls and half an army should fend off pretty much anything the skaeling can throw at you. They're only a threat in land battles. In sieges, they're complete shit thanks to all their infantry being hot garbage and their cavalry being forced through bottlenecks. Basically walls will fuck over norscans
If you're really concerned about about them , don't take the wasteland settlement Marienburg owns and instead use them as a buffer against attacks from land.
Your main focus should be genociding any beasties that appear, confederating all the eastern empire factions and fighting the vamps

>>173749289
>http://www.strawpoll.me/12728651
When I was new I used to play on H, but recently I switched to VH (previously impossible to play for me, now even VH is easy). I'm not interested in Legendary because of how fucking autistic the difficulty in this game is. The higher in difficulty you go, you don't get an actually challenging and smart AI and a real experience, they just give the AI assloads of money and more rapestacks and make some mechanics impossible to use (you literally can never, ever put enemy towns on negative public order, and your public order is tuned against you)
it basically just turns everything against you, the AI is still a dumbshit with alot of money.
>>173749289
I find hard to be the appropriate difficulty for most total war games. It strikes the right balance between AI not being to simple, and your agents not being hobbled to the point of uselessness.
>>173749983
nigga you fucking what
>>173749983
Looks like Pit of Shades, which can easily kill a few dozen per cast. Lore of Shadows is great for nuking tarpits.
>>173748497
>tfw Krell
>it's a 'vortex spell runs away from the enemy blob' episode
When's that magic revamp coming? the newer lores are so much more useful its not even fucking funny
>>173737698
Squig Hoppers are useful for circling around a Chaos Army and taking out their hellcannons. I've had more success with Squigs at targeting artillery and missile units because of their incredible speed, which also makes it easier to escape from and distract the enemy.
Boar Boys are kinda slow and not very strong, and Chaos melee units are hard to flank. Giants are far more useful against chaos, they can go toe-to-toe with Chaos melee units while you sweep up the support.
In my experience, the trick to defeating Chaos is to destroy their force multipliers and missile units ASAP, ignoring missile cavalry and avoiding the Lord. Chaos melee units are extremely hard to kill, but they're slow and don't do much damage alone.
Why is early game wood elves so fucking stressful?
>>173751465
I like the random element. That's how real fantasy warhammer works. Now imagine if Night Goblin Fanatics sometimes spiraled back into their own unit.
>>173752254
Real fantasy warhammer had spells that killed things. Stationary vortexes are literally only useful because they can sit on top of units and shit damage on them
>>173750045
At higher difficulties, do other factions actually start to recolonise their cities again? I'm playing on Hard and the AI never seems to want to repopulate their regions after they've been razed.
>>173752254
Fanatics are still fairly random, if a lot more useful now
Just have to make sure you're in combat before you let them off so you don't walk into them
>>173752254
Some things don't translate well from a tabletop game into a videogame.
Morrowind is still well loved, but the tabletop style system of randomly missing depending on your skills - even if you are physically close enough - was questionable at the time, and is badly outdated. I'm not saying later games couldn't use more complexity, but if you aim at something, you should miss it because you failed to aim properly, not because the game decided you failed that time.
>>173749289
I don't think I've played a standard difficulty in a long time. I spend a fair bit of time modding the AI bonuses and task generators to make them interesting and aggressive. Prefer to keep them on Normal level public order (otherwise they're essentially public order immune), Legendary level upkeep reduction (to help them field multiple big armies), and a few smaller things on top. Still trying to find the right balance for the AI task generators & personalities where they defend their threatened settlements appropriately but still go on significant offensives too. Vanilla AI is a bit spastic... just a bit.
>>173752817
Even recolonizer personalities have really low recolonize priority, they'd rather raid bumfuck nowhere than recolonize a ruin next door.
One solution I started to think over is halving stack sizes -> more stacks -> more things the AI can do
>>173752832
Sometimes I'll halt 10 or so meters from the enemy, and unleash the Fanatics in the same pause, to guarantee I don't run into them.

>>173753285
Bretonnia, if they go on the offensive quickly. They have speed (thanks to Grail Guardians) and a more powerful infantry line - the Empire's extra artillery won't help them if they close quick enough, and the Flagellants are useful, but don't have any staying power without other infantry to support them. The knights and crossbows are at best a speedbump, assuming they can take a charge and a few shots, though they may have to sacrifice a unit of Pilgrims.

I saved him
He got wounded in a battle and I arrived just as a 40stack was about to destroy his city, was a pretty epic fight of my skeleton spam + his garrison v thousands of peasants
But I also rushed there from turn 1, ran down to the border princes river and sailed to bret land immediately at the start
At this point hes so strong he has 6 20 stacks running around destroying everything.

Hey guys, help me make up some rules for a fun and challenging Empire campaign, so far I'm thinking:
-Legendary
-Only 3 total elite units allowed per army(units recruited from tier 3 or higher buildings)
-No cheese
-Fight every battle manually
Any other ideas?
pic is mods I'll be using, and I know that the home region bonus one is cheesy but I find it extremely annoying to be chasing armies all across my lands for 10 turns.
>>173762801
>no floppy hats

>>173762801
In my opinion, Valuable Veterans is a great mod but it's a bit too strong in the leadership buffs, results in essentially unbreakable units.

>>173763905
Forgot to explain, attached image shows the buffs of a Rank 9 compared to a Fresh unit
>>173764061
Just keep trying. Don't end up like shitters and just autoresolve all the important cool battles.
You can even save replay after the battle, then go fight it again, if I remember correctly.
So if you lose pivotal battle, save the replay,
>>173763905
Yeah, I wish the creator would scale back the leadership buffs a bunch. I'm okay with everything else though.

>>173761932
How do you go about fighting alongside an ally, anyway?
The AI seems reluctant to capture razed settlements, and I'm usually not interested in capturing territory in Sylvania just to help out the Empire - there's shit in Bretonnia I have to attend to.
>>173765724
If you don't like the confederating bullshit of the AI you could use the 'no confederation' mod.
Once you reach mid-game though you gonna have the typical TW problem of steamrolling every other faction.
Maybe limit yourself by using self-imposed tabletop-like rules of core/special/rare units
>>173764952
Overclock your CPU. It's all about the CPU.
>>173765843
I dont mind the confeding, but they did it so fucking fast they started chaining them from turn 3. After the third confed I had to just stop since I still only had the silver road. My wars, were helping them unify!
>>173765212
I expected her to wear lace.
>>173766209
Maybe there's a mod that increases confederation times for AI, dunno though.
But yeah, sometimes it's stupid that the Greenskins have more than half of the Badlands within the first 15 turns or so because of constant confederations
I didn't see this here, wasn't sure if it was posted
Just in case.
If there ever was a movie/TV series based off of Total Warhammer what would you wish it to be about?
Obviously for the sake of interest it would focus almost entirely on the Empire, with various races making appearances.
I'd like a movie or series based on a Witchhunters quest to discover the hidden rumors of the "under-empire" assuming it to be nothing but a criminal organization or potential cult, then discovering the true horror beneath, all the while dealing with those within the Empire who wish to keep it a secret to protect the Empire (conspiracy of silence) and the agents of the Skaven themselves.
Anyhoo we will all probably be dead before a decent AAA live action Warhammer movie ever gets released. Any good shows or movies like Rome or Spartacus that I should consider watching?

It didn't happen, lads.
I need to get a mod that tunes down these faggot rock niggers from becoming the global superpower every single campaign.
Is there legitimately a good way to fight dwarves as vampires in this game? the infantry match up is inferior, carts take forever to move around, they don't have lord-sniping potential (unlike empire or treefags), they don't have ranged units, they're weak to fire (and manlets have those TNT lobbers), they have no cavalry but they don't have anything to protect anyway since their ranged units are literally elite-tier in melee, and they seem to be too tanky to actually be hurt at all by magic (I casted 2 winds and 2 vortexes in the middle of gigantic blobs of them and it did literally nothing)
Don't tell me to get heavy cavalry and anvil them. I cycle charged this entire game and it did almost nothing to them, all of them have crazy armor. And while cycle-charging most of my cavalry got mowed by their array of apeshit ranged units that are too tough for me to actually engage before trying to save the battle-line. and Thorfag cockbearer takes 0 damage with all his retarded ward-save.
I have blood knights, not demigryphs.
(This is VH)
>>173769917
more bloodknights, more crypt horrors, drop the fucking black coach and regular black knights are you insane, vargheists are shit vs manlets, if you are using graveguard you MUST spec your hero into their boosts, otherwise they are pretty much useless since they have no melee attack
and as vamps you should never be in a situation where the enemy has more stacks then you, it should always be at least equal, where is a third stack of zombos and skellies? and remember that losing a battle is nothing to you, because you can now raise soldiers back from a corpse pile
hell I sometimes specifically feed a stack of zombos into the enemy just to get a corpse pile
Is there a mod that gives every faction leader in the game the ruin-dwelver attribute?

dude, there are 8 (eight) rapestacks coming down the mountains into different bits of my empire. And I have only 4 full-stacks. One is stationary at Gruenztedt to thwart angrundfags and empire from invading the area, one is a shitty stack of skeletons and zombies moving around garrisoning important objectives that come under attack, and the two stacks in pic (Izzy and vlad). My income is borderline bankrupt. The manlets just finished up the orcs (who i supplied with money for a long time, but it only delayed the inevitable apocalyptic dwarven world invasion) and now they're coming for me. This is a 250 turn campaign and this might be the end of it
>>173738447
I think Thanquol is likely to be one of their LLs - he's the most geographically itinerant Skaven, wandering wherever his schemes may take him, and fucking with the Vortex for power feels exactly like one of his madcap schemes.

>>173771694
>250 turn
>Empire are still alive
I'm also assuming you haven't been spreading your corruption around like a good vampire?
You should be flooding the dwarves with corruption every nanosecond that there is. Do that and they'll spend the first 50 turns trying (and failing) to clean that shit up.
Also, what the fuck are you doing with the Empire? I know it's not an easy push but Jesus Christ, they should be NO threat to you on turn 250.
>>173771802
>Empire still existing
yeah guess what happens when chaos rapetrain cums straight into you and after you clean them up the varg/skaeling shits keep pouring for 50 turns after them until they settle for peace after losing 50 full stacks around kislev.
It's also what happens when tilean memers decide to colonize right in the middle of the empire (Averland and south of it) and load the area up with fullstacks and declare war on you.
>flooding the dwarves with corruption
kek, I wish putting towns into negative public order was a thing in VH. Also I need my agents to support the war (and can't spam more because income and also because I can get the corruption to something like 35-40 before it freezes).
Maintaining economy while fighting tilean/empier clone legions of demigryphs is really hard.
The frustration that was inflicted upon me and my Brettonian empire by the Dawi makes me wanna play Greenskins.

>>173771978

oh, so you made the rookie mistake of expanding into Kislev? if you do you must build the max level wall upgrade thing and then you should be able to hold them off, but generally its not really worth it and you should have pushed into the empire lands and ignore the spread corruption advice, its completely pointless on higher difficulty

von carsteins are probably the easiest faction in game right now, after the manlets anyway
Why does the game played on hard setting have such a hard-on for trying to anal fist the player specifically. I was playing angrund campaign on hard and when the chaos invasion came thought I was going to be safe but nooo instead of going at enemies and cities closer to them they immediately proceeded to come to my direction to give me a fisting with their full stacks leaving most of the empire intact.
how come Brettonia and WoC are the only two factions that have the traditional for earlier TW titles split of Melee/Shock cavalry? for every other faction shock is always straight up better

chaos invasion on any difficulty goes straight for the player, which is why sometimes they get completely fucked as they stretch out too much

>>173769917
duuuuude dealing with dwarves is so easy late game as VC. Wind of death will literally wipe half a stack in one go if you place it right, not exaggerating at all.
You also have a shitty army comp. Crypt horrors and varghulfs should make up at least half your army, with a couple blood knights if you can afford them. Cast raise dead on ranged units + artillery, run down their heroes with varghulfs and your heroes. Stack units together and spam healing spell. Make sure to run varghulfs through their front lines and spread terror.
But yeah if nothing else, get a flying lord with wind of death, dwarves become a joke once you have it, I've won battles at way worse odds than that.

Exactly, chances are the AI already produced some of them, keep in mind there are some conditions to spawn markers (14+ units in both sides, 1k+ casualities...)
>Does it matter which race I slaughter?
No, get on killing
Battle markers are region specific (not province) so keep that in mind too, you can hover over a city to check if there's battle markers there (skeleton hand icon where the resource usually is), and the AI factions will create them too

so what's the deal with greenskins in multiplayer
why do they always lose? I always play either chaos, bretonnia or empire and every time my opponent picks greenskins I know I'm going to win
They got the flexibility of the empire but their units are quite bad, they have 3-4 good units but everything else is so bad they don't do shit. They would be better if they didn't rout at 60% hp.
Beat Skarsnik campaign on very hard, now you guys must let me into /twg/ cool club.
>>173781906
Simplified Campaign Map could work I think
Right now it's mostly 3 regions per province, with two minors and 1 major.
So if for the Grande Campaign they end up doing 1 region per province, with that 1 region being a big deal with a big settlement, maybe that could work?
Honestly as long as I get to have big battles with every faction, I'm pretty happy. I'm not huge on the sanctity of the campaign map.
>>173781706
They are cutting out minor NPC factions and shortening the size of provinces.
It makes sense desu. There are huge provinces and regions in the base game that are nothing but empty land. Shortening the size but increasing the number of conquerable regions would make up for it. Expansion 1 is confirmed to be the same size as the base game but 33% more conquerable regions than the base game and all factions can take each others land.
So here are the 4 grand campaigns:
Old World (Base game and its DLC-Unique map)
New World (1st expansion and its DLC -Unique map of Lustria,Naggaroth,Ulthuan and Southlands)
Darklands(2nd expansion that goes eastwards and its DLC- Unique map of Darklands and Mountains of Mourn)
Whole World(Unique scaled map based on content owned)

>>173779971
Gelt, you can get Cuck Franz very early on anyway
>>173783431
Skarsnik is actually a strong lord, but his goblin armies are total shit, fucking cowardly cunts rout 2 seconds into the fight.
Fanatics can annihilate the stacks if you release them well though
>>173783431
He's not like Grimgor at all. With Grimgor you grab yellow line and make him a complete fucking melee monster that rapes any lord in the game and can win battles by himself. With Skarsnik you grab red line and turn every gobbo in his army into a space marine.

More like
Dumb Kangz!
ah fuck, I was hoping for a giant map, but they are already admitting it will be shitty, so when tww3 is released it will be even worse
oh well
New VC LL confirmed.
Cautiously excited about the combined mega map now. I hope this "Universal Conquest" thing isn't literally just Conquer Anywhere though
So let me get this straight.
They are going to squish the new world into the small area that is all currently fogged up in TWW 1? Please tell me this isn't correct.
>>173783886
They should update old word with this new mechanics too though.
>>173783967
They never said that.
>>173783879
>they are already admitting it will be shitty
>Old World is identical to now
>New World just has some of the corners cut off to make it fit
I don't know, that's better than I was expecting.
>>173783967
Same old world map, and a little bit less of new world map
But vanilla new world map is bigger then old world anyway
>>173783993
They said they'd do that for the Combined Map, but I doubt they'll go back and update the Old World only campaign with it.
>>173784012
Old world has a lot of pointless shit terrain, like giant Norsca and Chaos wastes, why cut of pieces of the new world? why not use the empire solution
the old world already feels shitty because some lands are way to small (bret lands, athel loren) while others too big (southern badlands, norsca) and its only going to get worse
The Mega Combined World belongs to WOOD ELVES
>>173779971
DO NOT WASTE MY POTENTIAL
I just realized something guys. That map that was datamined earlier on, with the full Old World as it is ingame but a squished southlands(Nehekhara and Araby, maybe the northern tips of the jungle), Lustria, and Naggaroth?
THAT is the Combined map. It is basically what they described. Whether you like it or not is up to you, but I think it seems good enough
>>173784131
why though
lorewise it belongs to chaos
gameplay wise it belongs to chaos too
>>173783618
Use your Lord to stabilize Leadership, use a Gobbo hero specced for melee to intercept strong enemies and a shaman to debuff the shit out the enemy and buff your own troops.
Also, use Skulkers to STAB.
>>173784168
LEAFENSRAUM
Can't wait to play as based High Elfs, and conquer dirty dwarves cities aka caves
>>173784148
Pic Related. Of course, this probably isn't the final product and so it will probably be made to look a bit less warped in game. Atleast I hope. Otherwise, it seems decent enough to me, it could be worse.
>>173784247
>conquer
just burn it down, no race of importance wants to live in dirty, dark holes
>see Goblins and Skaven
>>173783886
>I hope this "Universal Conquest" thing isn't literally just Conquer Anywhere though
what do you mean?
>>173784272
That looks about right, and matches what he said about some regions in the far southwest of the New World being cut off
>>173784272
this would be fine desu

How are they going to add Southlands without adding Araby/TK territory? Isn't Southlands directly below that?
>>173769062

>>173784503
We dont know yet
>>173784541
haha Who?lman GhWho?rst
>>173784042
Its fine. I will be playing mostly on combined map later.
As long as they keep the same ammount of provinces and settlements. I don't really want empire to be made from middenland/reikland only. Gonna be mad if it happens.
I don't mind cutting smaller AIs though, they get conferederated anyways. Turns most likely will be a few seconds longer in the beginning but im fine with that as long as we got that mega-experience.
>>173784103
I kinda wish they added more norsca regions and badlands. Badlands especially feel like shit.
>>173783851
hey, they're NOT vampires!they manage to be even wore and more uninteresting
G R A C E !
>>173784503
This is what baffles me.
They could add a Vampire Counts placeholder for Tomb Kings and an Empire one for Araby, but that seems like a really shitty way of doing it.
>>173784272
>"""Mega"""campaign
>>173784378
This is basically exactly what he described as the combined map. I am sure it has undergone some changes since it was first released, but I would be willing to bet this is roughly what the combined map will be.
>>173784364
I agree, it is still focussed on the Old World but there is enough outside of it to have some fun either colonizing mid/late game or building yourself up if you are a faction out there so you can either attack the Old World or move in to stop Chaos once it comes. Can't wait to crusade some Tomb Keks as Bretonnia.

>>173785508
All dlc you own from TWW 1 going to TWW 2
We probably only going to get few dlc for tww2, since there is not much to do
Lizards vs Rats, Dork Elfs vs High Elfs and maybe Tomb Kangs, thats it
>>173784660
>>173784503
They can make tomb kings stay in their tombs until dlc and give Araby 5 units with arab assets from Attila.
>>173785625
CA has made it clear that the Combined map will be releasing weeks, not months, after Game 2 so unless they release Tomb Kangs just a few weeks after Game 2 then no, not likely. Though you do have to wonder where the Tomb Kings will be. I was doubting it at first, but I am sort of starting to believe they will actually be the Pre-Order DLC.
Darren is so smug right now

>>173785825
Do you think it will start the same amount of a shitstorm as Chaos did? Honestly now that you mention it, I don't know which other faction would merit preorder dlc. Definitely not Vamp pirates. Heh heh they could do a New World Chaos horde just out of spite.
>>173785669
Fun fact: in lotr, it has been established that the height of dwarves is 150cm. Since it's a medieval setting, the Humans cannot have been taller than 170cm. So when the modern young adult Humans are soon averaging 185-190cm in the developed countries due to better nutrition, this means that the unironical dwarf tier height is 165-170cm which is the manlet height.
>>173785680
Don't squeeze too hard now
It's painfully obvious that the tomb kings are the preorder DLC by now, why are you even debating it?
Who are those fuckbois?
>>173785734
Blood pack (hopefully free if you have the first one)
Scales and Skunks Lord pack
HElves vs DElves Lord pack
Tomb Kangz w/bundled minicampaign
those WILL happen for sure, and then I'd guess cheap unit packs will be a thing to fill existing rosters
>>173786112
Well they said the preorder dlc would be something "appropriate". I am thinking maybe Estalian or Vampire colonies or something minor.
>>173783076
Coven Throne
>>173786112
Why you think they will give us a free race just for pre ordering the game
>>173786413
Because preorder culture is a thing (a fucking cancerous one at that) and they need something catchy to fish preorders
>>173786413
what is Chaos?
>>173786381
Vampire colonies could work but Estalia isn't even its own faction in the game, I don't want to play a shitty empire reskin
>>173786381
>Appropriate
Vampire coast, undead pirates under luthor harkon.
>>173786023
>Since it's a medieval setting, the Humans cannot have been taller than 170cm

>>173786016
There would be tons of salt, but not as much I feel. Tomb Kings were not liked nearly as much as Chaos, and Tomb Kings are not the ultimate big baddy of the Warhammer World, unlike Chaos.

>>173786635
what happened to katarin in the end of times?
did archaon rape her?
>>173786906
Like every other non essential character who wasn't needed for the greater storyline, it's Ambiguos. Kislev(the city) is sacked and razed, and I think? they say Katarin gets out, but beyond that, just like Skarsnik, GW just sort of forgot about her.
>>173786906
The entire world was destroyed, and she isn't a sigmarine so she died somehow.
>>173786906
Don't think Archaon can take off his armor.
I wonder how chaos warriors piss? Have they transcended the need for mere bodily functions? Do they just go in the armor?
>>173769062

>>173769062

>>173788070
33% more conquerable regions in the New World campaign map but same size as base game and with no regional occupation limit so every territory is fair game.
So the odds of more cities and towns in Ulthuan and Lustria are pretty much very good. Ulthuan has quite a lot and it would be a disservice if it only had 7 or something. You could easily get 20-25 regions or so on that island continent alone.

Depends on what you're fighting. If your enemy has handgunners keep your armored units behind. If they're using crossbows or archers, keep the black orks or shielded units up front.

The only expanding you should for the first aages is into the three dwarven towns north of yur start
Be duurthu and have the medium size trees as your front line. Not the singe unit tree guys and not the normal size tree units, the ones inbetween with like 9 units I think. They are tanky as fuck.
The starting archers are best, Get starfire for them.
Upgrade main tree to the point where you can confederate with other elves then its ezmode from there

>>173789914
Mix giants in with frontline. If the enemy frontline isn't something that fucks black orcs you should use your black orcs as frontline because they have an awesome charge bonus.

the more the better. I would literally suck their cocks just to get my warhammer 2 fix now
>>173785508
I would be fine with it, as long as the base game had the same amount of content as TWW1. A lot of people seem to feel the compulsion to buy all the DLC available for a game so they get the 'complete' package, but honestly Total War games don't require you to do that. I don't need to buy Beastmemes or Wood Sloots unless I want to play them. I will just pick and choose from the DLC for TWW2 like TWW1, so the more choices available for me the better.I would buy Araby day one though.
Oh boy should i take him as vassal, was just turn away from killing him...

what do you think lads?
>>173795548
I was optimistic before and still am
>>173795108
As someone who doesn't really go in for DLC, I'm actually fairly happy with how it works with TWW.
I appreciate that the world grows with every DLC that's released even if I don't own it, so I look forward to it anyway, and I could see myself picking up another faction or two once I've exhausted the main ones.
I'd rather see the more obscure races like Beastmen and Tomb Kings appear as optional content than not have them appear at all due to budgetary constraints.
>>173795548
Seems fine
The majority of factions are in the old world, making the map extend to include the whole of lustria or the southlands doesn't make much sense
>>173795439
>philosophical Vargulf
Why is gw so fucking incompetent with numbers? It doesn't make any sense that the dwarf armies are only a few hundred strong while the other factions have like 100 times more troops. It's almost as unrealistic as 10 000 space marines vs billions of tyranids and the space marines are supposed to be a relevant force even though they would run out of ammo even if they were completely immortal.

>>173797579
The Beastmen don't get much extra manpower from raping Elven maidens, regarding the info in that other post where they can't even make babies until they're like 100 years old or more. Not that it's never happened, just don't expect most of their numbers to be from any kind of elf. They have more use in killing them so they don't have to drag them about.
Beastmen do enjoy fucking cows for manpower though, and as far as I know, they can make lots of children from their human brides as well.
grimgor's fucking waaaagh burned the eight peaks instead of occupying it

Schizophrenia is an uncontrolled and comprehensive rewiring of the brain and usually is genetic and is triggered eventually, it's extremely far fetched to compare it to a concentrated effort to create a single personality in a normal brain.
>>173797951
It doesn't exactly state that they are or aren't having tons of cool tree sex, just that they're doing better off than their geographically separated cousins. This can be more attributed to their uninvolvement in the Sundering rather than any extra amount of fucking they do. They have more numbers, therefore have maybe ten-thousand or so more sexually mature peoples.
>>173798387
But anon, Tomb Kings are in the north of the Southlands. It's the south part that's being cut.

Elf maidens don't make children because the men are uninterested in sex, impotent from sheer age and when they are younger older fertile elf women aren't interested in them either. The Witcher goes into some detail. With humans and other creatures elf maidens start to ovulate frequently again.

well It's part of being immortal beings, not neccessarily restricted to elves. Essentially without mortality normal processes of life like reproduction don't work the same. A lot of people are bored with sex when they hit their 60s never mind 600, long time exposure to radiation and cellular degradation also would multiply the risk of impotence until most males would be impotent, and finally a 600 year old female isn't going to be remotely interested in a 18 year old. Just logic really.

No, they'll reinforce as normal but if you put more points into it they can reinforce even if they are a little farther away on the campaign map.
So you really just need 1 point in it 99% of the time.

>From coding of qualitative interviews collected in large surveys, the most common tulpamancer profile to emerge is one of a highly cerebral, imaginative, highly articulate, upper-middle class, formally educated person with many consistently pursued interests, talents, and hobbies, but limited channels of physical social interaction.
>Typical tulpamancers are confident about their talents, but are quite modest and socially shy. They possess – or have cultivated – a high propensity for concentration, absorption, hypnotisability, and non-psychotic sensory hallucinations. Their limited social life and social anxieties, however, are not correlated with impaired levels of empathy and interest in other people. They score average or above average on empathy and Theory of Mind tests, indicating that their ability to relate to other humans is either optimal or enhanced (NB: I used my own revised version of Baron-Cohen’s empathy and ASD quotients tests. As these primarily rely on explicit mindreading that can be passed logically, more testing of implicit cognition is required.)

I always get a waaaagh in the first 5-6 turns and I use it to rush the dwarfs but sometimes the dwarfs confederate with the purple banner dwarfs in turn 2-3 and that's a huge problem because they will have 2 full stacks sitting in Karaz a Karak by turn 10.
My problem is that I get overwhelmed, I know I can win if I keep playing but there's so much shit going on I just don't know what to do first. I have no problem winning battles but I can't defend my settlements from rebels, blue dwarfs and other tribes and attack someone else at the same time.

That's a hard argument to stand behind given how there could be something to contradict that in Warhammer Fantasy lore, or otherwise having nothing to confirm or deny. If the ladder is the case, it could easily be wrong, but otherwise it could possibly be true by your claims.
I can't read everything, but I read as much as I can when it comes to Warhammer. I've certainly not read anything to confirm or deny, but there could be something out there to refute it.
>>173801409
It's safer to secure the bottom corner first instead of rushing Karaz-a-Karak. You can also demand a (short lived) peace treaty from the Dwarfs after beating the Thorgrim stack.
>>173801490
Then why do these people, who purposefully make tulpas in order to cope with their loneliness, report positive changes?
>Drawn from primarily urban, middle class, Euro-American adolescent and young adult demographics, most Tulpamancers cite loneliness and social anxiety as an incentive to pick up the practice and report overwhelmingly positive changes in their individual and offline social lives, in addition to an array of new, ‘unusual’, but largely positive sensory experiences. These include (in order of frequency) auditory, tactile, visual, and olfactory sensations. “Raw thought”, “intuitive thinking”, “speaking with no words” and “communicating with images, feelings and music” are also reported along with other non-verbal, non-narrative forms of interaction.

Because it's a coping mechanism gone terribly wrong. If you've experienced something terrible, your mind can create a dissociation to help you cope for some time, but that is NOT gonna help you in the long run, quite the contrary.
Look, you're lonely to the point that your mind, willingly or not, produces a split personality. That has a range of serious problems. Many of these poor people also report that their split personality can become "hostile" or if they at some point want them to go away, can't, and that they become a serious liability. It's a serious indicator of a host of mental illnesses, and you should go seek professional help, instead of an internet meme.
I'm only saying this as to try and help you.
If you're really suffering from this, you should seek some professional help so that you can get your life back on track.

>>173803224
Dissociative identities are created spontaneously and uncontrollably, will take over the body randomly and are not as separate as a tulpa. There is no "willingly or not" because the effects are completely different. Also it's like you ignored the above reports from tulpamancers regarding happiness. Not everyone is afraid of breaking the norms, in particular if it makes them happy.
What's the best way to lay an ambush? They don't really explain how to do them. Looking at playing beastmen but ambushes are foreign to me.

No I did not ignore your post. Disassociation happens when people have been though some kind of trauma, and yes, it helps them for the time being. POW's are a good example of this, but when they get home and though that trauma, that's where the disassociation will become a big liability. Extreme loneliness and/or crippling depression can easily be considered trauma. It makes perfect sense for the mind to produce a disassociated entity in those conditions.
>>173801082

>>173801721
obviously its not 'lore' just a theoretical problem with immortality, presuming elves share some physiology and mentality with humans. In the witcher it is mostly just some political discourse since it is a common trend for older human societies to feel displaced by the new and women being seen to be the first to abandon ship. Classic example is french women taking up with nazi officers.
>>173803353
>muh feelings

>>173804521
Tulpa is created by conscious effort and is separate from you and practically cannot take over your body unless if you purposefully train switching. DID is created spontaneously as a response to trauma, and the separate personalities live your life sometimes regardless of your opinion. Based on your logic, every tulpamancer is a product of trauma but this is not true.
>>173805040

DW have charge def. vs large so soak up a charge, two DW units will take down Boars in short order, you can use quarrelers to focus down enemy large,

For most other races, with ambush stance you are:

>chance to be found out
Estalia's been a bit of a shit in my game. They've got big armies since they've taken the whole of the southlands, and that was real useful during the End Times event, but now they've got a bunch of stacks running around the Empire and settling parts of it. They've even taken Brionne.
I've been considering warring with them a few times, but I don't think most of my current allies would go for it, particularly the Empire. Karak Hirn might join me, but Clan Angrund are on friendly enough terms with them - they might consider breaking the vassalage they have with me.
Their relations with me are slowly getting worse, and I'm not sure if I should try to salvage diplomacy and just live with Estalian territories in weird spots, or start a war and hope I can drag everyone in - and survive myself, since they've got fairly sizable armies running around.

Some stupid /x/-tier imaginary friend.
>>173810113
an imaginary friend that you cultivate, an extremely bad idea by most accounts.
How do you fight the wooden jew as Brets? I have fought dozens of massive battles in campaign but have only won one. Fire archers are good but i cant seem to do anything unless i outnumber them 3 to 1

It's a legit separate personality in your brain. She can take the form of a cute girl and you can have sex with it.

>A Grimgor tulpa that constantly berates you for not being orky enough.
Sounds cool, almost like having a dad.
Is this the shitpost hour?
>>173810504
>mentally unstable
Guess it depends, it's a bad idea with manic depression, anything schizoid and for people on the autistic spectrum and drug use and strong hallucinogens/psychodelics can result in some scary shit.

If you don't belong to any of those you have no reason for wanting to create a tulpa though
