in MP always assume that you're gonna play against either Bretonnia or VC, they are the 2 most OP faction right now as Empire being a distant 3rd.

Good for you still playing MP

Having to cheese to fight cheese sapped my will long ago

>>173906927
I feel like MP is probably something thats only really fun if you have friends, because then you can agree to actually have fun army comps and stuff

I played it for a while, but it just got boring playing with randoms

>>173906927
He obviously was a noob. VC players pick either the Red Duke or Manny on Zombie Dragon.

>>173907015
That's literally the only build that works for the dwarfs in ranked. Nothing else is competitive. Pick 1 slayer group to intercept flying units, rest should be goons and 3 runelords and maybe 2 thunderers

>>173906693
it's possible for sure

>Alejandro the White Dwarf

What is the mod that improves unwalled settlement maps?

are aspiring champions worth anything in campaign or mp?

>>173907227
you can get away with cheese builds even in ranked unless you get a hard counter to your build. I remember defeating a Crooked Moon army with only the Pimp Lord, 1 lore of shadows and 9 forsaken

>>173905458
Looks comfy. What map?

>>173907391
They are called "settlement packs".

You need 2 group of them to keep the morale high. Keep them tied to your main infantry line.

there is a Youtuber called Turin and he plays with Chaos at Ranked MP a lot. See some of his matches and learn about what to pick.

>>173907430
You may want them to fight ethereal units.

Can anyone tell me why I should get the steel faith overhaul? I've not been playing for ages, done 2 long campaigns so far. What's the crack

>>173908714
steel faith is makes the game more lore-friendly afaik. for example Wood Elf units are much faster but fewer in numbers.

They've either been described as relatively mild and gentle compared to most beastmen, or being the ones that snatch babies and all gross. Make of that what you will.

>>173908714
it makes the campaign flow much better than vanilla, slows down the combat and fixes magic to be both available and powerful

give it a try, if it's not your thing just uninstall it

EB 2 or Rome 2?

>>173909027
Okay I think I'll try it. Sounds good. Any recommendations for what faction to use with it to begin with? Or can I fully experience the mod using any?

>>173909269

You'll probably notice the differences a little more if you play Greenskins or Empire though

Thanks for the advice anon

>>173909269
I mostly played Bretonnia, so I can only vouch for their campaign, but all factions got overhauled, so you should be fine picking your fav faction

>>173907430
They are cheap anti-ethereal slayers and their leadership buffs will keep your infantry line from routing.

They actually hold up suprisingly well in combat.

>>173909490
They are mostly unchanged (except things like pistols, which get some AP in SFO)

They have great potential in vanilla, and keep the same feel

>>173910124

And they lost much in the way of resources and soldiers in the process, making them unable to combat the Skaven and Orc attacks that soon followed the war with the elves.

>>173912917
>Empire
Beatmen are a burden that should be eliminated asap as to not let them bully your minor settlements. And they fucking will if you let them. They will first come for that south-western settlement. The second you capture it (around turn 3-5ish) get fire up a lord and have him camp that town. Load him up with shielded spearmen, or swordsmen if you haven't reached spears yet. They should be no match for you. Play defensively, make them come to you.

>Vampire Cunts
Fuck Fel Bats. They're a meme, and the best you can use them for is to stall an oncoming troop. Early game zombies are you friend. They are hard to kill, there are a thousand of them, and they block enemies. Don't waste your time on Crypt-fags early game. They are best against unarmored foes and the only ones of those you'll be facing are zombies. Use the troops Manfred starts with and you'll kick ass. Pick up the unit-of-renown skellies when they pop up. Build Mannfred with stats focusing on improving him, but first pick up a bit of self-regen. There's something very early in called "The Hunger" or something that heals him to hell and back. It's really good.

>Greenskins
Actually one of the races I haven't played much so someone else might have to take this one.

>Brets
A great faction as they start of relatively safe in terms of who they're surrounded by. Empire will easily bro-up with you. Rush that harbor town the old guy advises you about.

here you go, i will lower the taste level

>>173912917
Everything this guy says is really good info >>173913674. Just one little addition to Mannfred. You get a blood spell right when you start up, be sure to find it. If you overcast it (clicking on the spell icon twice instead of once) you can cast it in an area instead of on a single unit. By rule of thumb, Carstein should NEVER leave a battle with even a single healing spell uncast. You should spam the over-cast version as often as you are able to heal your units. Also raise dead for instant-troops.

>>173912917

Generally the best way to get better at total war is to savescum a really difficult battle that you feel like you could win if you played better.

If you're micro is shit just pause more.

>Empire
get Marienburg early and the rest of the campaign is pretty easy, build garrison buildings in every settlement you can (this goes for every faction) and if you see an approaching enemy army recruit & garrison a lord there in preparation for defence.

>Vamps
They're always annoying to kill because you can't target units to follow them until they land, but they are pretty easy to kill. They're useful as shit for tying down arty & ranged units asap and they can flank units really easily which damages morale.

With Mannfred I like to build him as a top wizard. Put 1 point in every single spell, they're all useful cos he has the two best lores in the game and the second point is useless because you will overcast most spells.

You want to rush his sword quest asap because it makes him an amazing caster.

>Went for the first quest battle, got ruined by Gyrocopters
You can ignore quest battles, but that one is pretty easy if you have enough goblin archers they'll just shoot em down.

The general impression is that they are docile and even kind in a sense, though they're not any prettier than the male beastmen. A female gor, centaur, minotaur, they're still monstrous even if female. They're also equal in numbers to the males, but they're almost never seen because they basically never leave the forests and stay at/tend to the beastmen camps, where they bear and raise young, look after the prisoners till they die, and protect the camps.

Harpies meanwhile, are just harpies.

The ability to be able to coop with someone else? Empire managing to be the most played faction in SP and MP yet will wind up with no alternate start at least in the first game is fucked.

Especially with Marius sitting right there, begging to be added a possibly fun Empire alternate start. Best part is that if Empire gets another LL it'll be Helborg who will just start in Reikland with the other 4 losers.

>>173919027
Oh, so the first 30 turns are treating you well?

>>173919171
use tight formations so the enemy clumps around your battle line, or use single-entity high-threat units like lords, heroes or monsters to get enemies to clump.

Then when enough of them are clumped up unload an overcasted vortex spell on them and you can easily get 100-200 kills a cast.

Always overcast because it slows down the vortex so it doesn't spin off course as fast.

You need patience more than anything as the best time to use it is when pretty much all the enemies units are in melee.

My whole siege strategy at the moment involves clumping all my units through the gate, waiting until they being all their units to fight at the gate as well, then using Gelt to overcast golden hounds & a Heavens wizard to cast either lightening bolt or chain lightening & killing half their army at once.

Yeah they can get brutal
The game must be doing something weird in handling memory cause the loads can be pretty decent for like two or three battles, then suddenly kapow 3+ minute loads.
I ended up upgrayding from HDD/8GB/280X to an SSD/16GB/480 and my load times dropped MASSIVELY. Not just a bit quicker, a whole new world of loading quickness.

How essential is the Grim and the grave for vampire cunts?

>>173923808
Get an SSD, they went from stupidly long to too short to read the longer fluff quotes.

>>173923634
He loves it! But yeah, that's the shit. It's extra easy as VC though, since you can be close to the map edge without having to fear routs among your own units, while enemy units will just disappear the moment they flee. Bit cheesy, perhaps, but sometimes there's just no way to win otherwise.

Essential? There's some popular battle strategies which lean really heavily buff carts (Corpse and Mortis), so you might feel like you're missing out on a couple of army composition options, but otherwise you don't need anything from Grim and Grave to have a really enjoyable campaign.
They kind of eclipsed their own DLC with the Vlad FLC honestly. Vlad's a beast.
Question to VC campaigners here, do you guys bother with the Strigoi Ghoul Kinks?

He has the same problem that some of the other orc models have too - their faces are too short. It's not the jaw necessarily, it's the philtrum area I guess? The distance between the nose and the mouth.

And just in general the sculpt is too soft.

That helps. I'd gladly play this game for the next ten years if there was regular content. I was lucky in a way I guess as I was working abroad from March to october 2016 and didn't follow the release so I got back, bought the game and all the DLC and then there was a reasonably comfy progression from there to beastmemes, Welves and Brets. It was like getting a new game every month. Now in this desolation I'm phenomenally bored. Doesn't help that there's been fuck all else released of note recently.

I know the feeling, at the moment I'm holding off on playing until the old friend is reveled. I'm sure it will be disappointing but I've got to know if it's something big and I don't want to have to restart a campaign for new content if it is.

I just wish they'd out and say what they're planing, or have a road map or something. They don't even need the details yet just "Yes we plan to have a x pack out on y date"

Really the only thing you can do is either play gimmick campaigns or try and fill the time in with older games or something else. Might be a good time to give Call of Warhammer a try if it's a warhammer itch you have.

But I'm with you though, Like I really hope that the lead up to WH2 is going to have some DLC's even fi they're paid only. Like if this game doesn't come out until the end of the year and there's nothing in between I'm going to go crazy waiting.

>>173930814
I don't really get the historyfag raging. I mean TW has never really been anything but loosely based on history but all of a sudden when it's actual fantasy (and pretty good fantasy at that) it's suddenly Holocaust 2: Revenge of the Tendies.

>>173930920
I concur. Hell something, anything. I even considered buying the blood DLC just for something new.

In my blackest of hearts I dream of a different empire faction every month and better story/quests added every other month.

In my nightmares it's this but everything is vampires.

In reality it will be nothing at all.

>>173930992
>I don't really get the historyfag raging.
The TW community is retarded.

Like serious idiocy.

>>173930349
You would think so, which is why I can't understand it.

Need to shave a few devs and artists from other projects and give us something small every two-three months even.

It's not even like we're into obscure shit yet, I'm fine if we never see Tilea or Border Princes, or even Kislev, but get some Elector Counts in there, another Dwarf start or two. Fuck, let us make questless generic lords to be our own little self insert.

Money!

>>173931245
Ah. That makes perfect sense.

I have been playing since shogun 1 but never dabbled in the community until TW WH.

I went on the .CA forums once while suffering from particular WH withdrawal.
In around ten threads the same prick managed to drag discussion round to why Araby was the most logical next faction.

Never again.

>>173930992
Because the community is made up of arm chair generals who still think ROME1/ME 2 are the peak of the series because they could,d bumble their way into abusing a fairly brain dead AI on their own and feel like that made those games superior.

Also these are people who don't seem to understand that if you don't like DLC then you shouldn't buy it. But they do it anyway and then complain. Like there's no winning with that level of stupid.

It makes perfect sense and there are thousands of autists like you and I who would throw our neetbux at this.

I guess they were very surprised by just how successful the game was but to keep it that way it needs momentum and that is being pissed away fast.

I'd love a grim and the grave or similar DLC each month or two or even better legendary heroes with quests. I'd pay money for a new one of them every so often.

>>173931457
I honestly had no clue

Started following TW with S2 and my only exposure has been to /twg/ once it became a thing and I always used to complain about how casual and easy as fuck TW was.

It wasnt until Warhams I realized how fucking awful this community is. 95% of TW players are absolute dogshit at the games and couldn't even handle a more complex TW. And they love to bitch and moan we dont get yearly history games then bitch and moan when the history games are crap anyway.

>>173931675
M2 sieges with huge unit size are the worst

THE WORST

why is AI so fucking bad in strategy games in the year 2017? it's arguably the most important feature next to the actual battle gameplay

>>173931675
No to be fair it has gotten better a LITTLE bit. Like seriously go back to those games and half the time the AI just stands there taking archer fire, or charging it's cav right into spears.

Don't get me wrong it is still shit but it is much more exploitable in the older games.

>>173932098
Because making good AI is hard

>>173931827
napoleon sieges with any unit size are worse

>>173931723
To hypothesize a little with warhammer the game has become "mainstream" and this really angers sperglords. How dare they not be pandered to. How dare legend of total war not have regular instalments of historical warfare simulator so that one day when he finally falls through the time portal and becomes Alexander the Greats trusted second in command who takes over after Alexander breaks his neck while shaving after the battle of the Granica, Legend of Total War and a thousand other autists can finally show they are the greatest general.

While somehow obtaining a bird's eye view of combat, with troops who follow orders in real time, and with every other helpful abstraction present.

I'm going to be dominated by a best elf!

Since warhammer got released I've been freebasing the lore and novels. Why did they blow this setting up and replace it with Warcraft? Seriously. Why?

It's the equivalent of replacing everything in Star Wars with ewoks.

>>173933694
>Oh. Apologies. I thought you were arguing that because more people in total are playing history then a focus on warhams is wrong. Sorry anon.

Oh, no. While more people are playing history games, they're spread between 6+ games. Warhams having around three times the audience of any one of them and only adding several of them together do they really rival the audience of Warhams.

This indicates to me that there is money to be made.

Too late. We got one. >>173932197

>>173934202

It's also as someone maybe even you pointed out, the only player base that wants more DLC and barring a couple poorfags doesn't mind paying for it.

Ok but I've done Leo a few times now. This time I'm going to unify Bretonnia then be an isolationist, keeping to trade only and avoiding military alliances.

One of my favorite things about the campaign is seeing how the AI progresses in the game based on what I do. I'm going to avoid being too chummy with the smaller Empire states because that appears to make it impossible for the Empire to confederate with them. I think I'll Deus Vult over to Vampire Counts just to clear them out so that the Empire can settle there.

A lot of the community are Chris-chan tier spergs*. They can't, for the life of them, comprehend the historical TW games were getting worse and worse and that CA needed something fresh to do, hence their venture into Warhammer and that Alien: Isolation game they did.

*I went to college with a guy that posts on TWC. He looked like your typical fat autist, openly called himself a genius and was the most obnoxious asshole in all the two classes I had with him. That fucker never. shut. up. and blurted the most random shit in the middle of lectures.

I got a battle where it was Orion, Rurek the Durable (Karak Ziflin), the Altdorf Garrison, and my Grand Armee de Leoncoeur versus Archaon, Sigvald, Kholek, and Random Beastlord (Warherd of Chaos). It was a lot of fun.

Was gifted with a great oppertunity to unite the Dawi. With this the GRODGEBEERER will have control of three entire provinces. Could fortify the shit out of Zhufbarian lands, and use Mount Gunbad for the dosh.

Question is how to dawi protect against the undead fuckers? Their corruption is skyrocketing.

So

About that 1.5

When does it release?

Oh god that reminds me of the WH Vampire lore and how there's a trait they can get where, after they absorb the "nutrients" from blood it leaks from their stomach into their skin where it forms sacks of old rotten blood that will burst onto the enemies if they strike the area.

Also I should mention I have no mods besides cosmetic ones, most of the ones that change gameplay make for an easier campaign I find

I love the Bretonnian campaign, much better experience than constant backstabbing from electro counts, pretty much from get go you are chill with your bros and together threw the trash out of your realms.

Now the real challenge is to collect all these snivelling cunts as Karl Franz.

Elector cunts will be near impossible since they are gonna attack each other as much as they will actual enemies.

Hah!

>>173945361

Vamp cunts have cheap armies that they can raise after a battle, and I swear their lords come back dumb fast. Pretty crazy to try and stop it on legendary, but nice try anon. I had a pretty crazy Dawi game earlier that got ruined by a motherfucking WAAGH cruising into my territory because who the fuck needs watch towers.

Someone post the image of khazrak holding todbringers eye.
