The air thickens, and the plains echo the sounds of the crows and ravens that have flocked overhead, Marius the Wise looks into the sky, observes his surroundings, and takes a deep breath to relief his sudden episode of existential crisis. He feels as if he has been awakened from a long sleep. What is he doing, what has he doing for all the past years of his life, what is going to happen to him, what is this strange world he is living in.

Marius is an aging man, his hair has greyed, and his face has become a tired expression at all times, his eyes wrinkled, and his strength wanes. He asks himself, what has he doing all his life. All he has known was war. He remembers the countless men and comrades he knew for the past decades that have died. His life has been a grind, filled with tension, politics, bloodshed, and never rest. The thought of settling in a town and living at a home with normal people has grown strange to him. He only knows to sleep at tents, and interact with men of war, he has grown too old for this world.

He looks behind him, a host of thousands marches under him command, the war never ends. He looks infront of him and wonders, why do they fight, why do those enemies keep raising arms. Why did those friends he has known have to die. What is their fate now, their remains have decayed into nothingness and seeped into the soil by now. Many he has not even been able to see one last time, they have disappeared in battlefields covered with carcasses, or their remains desecrated by the enemies and their memories ravaged. The war never ends

What is there to his future, is this his last battle. Marius has grown accustomed to being so close to death, it has became normal to him. As he has became an insincere and inconsiderate person over years of hardship. He feels awakened from a state of coma. Years have passed in armor with sword at hand, thousands upon thousands have died, but the war never ends, why do they fight?
The horn sounds and the attack starts

can some lads give me some legendary battle tips as cunts vs dwarfs

After the third time Grombrindlkanfdal lightning striked and pushed my shit in hard I'm about to throw in the towel to autores.

Ive been trying to go AP heavy ,
GG + GW
Crypt Horrors
Wraiths (probably not effective but...cool)
Corpse Cart w/chodestone

Is this something I have to win on the campaign map with agent cheese?

These Longbeard stacks do not break, they fight to the last model

The early game as Vampire Cunts really is basically decided by the heroes and monsters.

>Final battle against Manny as Vlad and Isabella.
>Outnumbered 4 to 1, and they have way better troops (because of Drakenhof garrison)
>Basically dedicate my whole effort into taking out Manny, his varghulf and the few vargheists he has
>Battle ends with just Vlad and Isabella duking it out back to back against hundreds of grave guards, with a blood knights unit with 7 knights left doing cycle charges
>Vlad ends with 476 kills, Isabella with 376

Also rip the two starting vampires, they couldn't handle the psychological pressure.

What is the opinion of slannesh about cucks?

Drop the wraiths and get some cav to charge dwarfbutt. You should exploit their lack of cav counters. Remember that you don't break either but you get to heal your troops and they don't. Use Vlad's tactical ganius.

Vassalize him for a few turns to recover diplomatic status, ten or something then break vassalage and ask for confederation in the same action

>>174178439
I think they're OK, they're pretty OP but it's nice for factions like dwarves who take 10 years of tech if you want certain engi toys which you'll only ever take 1 or 2 of in a stack.

I think they'd be more balanced if each lord had to level up to unlock them rather than only 1 high level lord unlocking them all.

They're a better version of existing units. They only got one niche each, some of them aren't even something which requires a change of tactics (Like the Sunmaker Helstorm Rocket Battery which is just +damage and shoots faster, or the Tattersouls, which is +stats and extra men).

NO! We warned this fucking shit was going to happen. Go back to whatever hole you crawled from! Furries are the worst, but the rat ones are just horrible.

>>174189213
You get what you get until you get vampire crypts and necromancer towers.

Until then the only things you can do are get gibbets and upgrade your towns since they provide more money per building than other factions'. And make sure you jump on any natural resource buildings too. Use the necromancer deploy ability to maximize your spending power.

>>174189213
Uhhh I normally rush Pop and get to Lvl 5 for vampire cyrpts and necro towers, make sure you are researching the lamia tier for bonuses.

>>174189213
Mix of using agents (I think for VC it's Necromancers that have the income boosting skills) And just spamming income buildings where you can.

Also look into their tech tree, through the vampire chain you'll find their main source of income comes from either towns/cities or Necromancer/Vampire towers. Which you can then boost heavily with research.

You could try trade but I fine the gains aren't worth much, that said some trade buildings do offer more income than the lower tier income buildings.

So I'm 120 turns into my FOTS campaign, everything going good, about to reach the limit and go full republican, I have some 13 fully upgraded provinces to support me and some good, scattered armies and navies for the inevitable onslaught - I'm not even in one of the corners for fuck's sake - and for some reason, I only now have met a problem. I end turn, everything goes fine (I'm not following enemy movements because it takes too long), untill the last faction (besides the foreigners) - Matsumae - come along. As far as I can tell, their turn lasts forever. I can tell the game's not frozen, but it's at literal 1 FPS or less (I checked with Fraps). I'm gonna try to wait it out after a few attempts to lower settings, but honestly I'm a bit hopeless. Anyone ever had anything similar?

WHEN

>>174187910
My guess is because you're the "attacker" and the besieger is defending itself from your sally, the game just goes, "Oh, this faction is defending just outside the walls of this city, he must be defending it!"

>>174191118
"Only thugs and commies cover their face up for protests!"

>>174187910
You're dorfs, maybe it's like an underground sally port that leaves the troops behind the besieging army

>newfags still pretend Med 2 was a good game

>>174191887
Medieval 2 is a good game, but if you've played anything that came after it like Attila, Napoleon or Shogun 2, then it becomes literally unplayable. It's so fucking clunky.

I still play it every now and then (a very long now and then) because of crazy mods that just aren't anywhere else, thugh honestly most of them are bad and I regret taking the time and effort

Eh, you can't even say that because you could compare it to R1 that came before it and it came out worse for wear in anything that wasn't graphics. There is really no excuse for the trainwreck that it was.

Mind you, I enjoyed it a lot anyway, enthusiasm really carried us back then, but now I can no longer stomach it and its many flaws.

>>174192037
Fucking this. I started with Shogun 2 and while I find M2 appealing in terms of setting the mechanics are dogshit. A game isn't good if you have to mod it just to fix basic features like units not charging properly or characters living 200 years.

>>174192207
No, it isn't. You get some novel campaigns and interesting settings but it's the same old bullshit.

>pikemen drawing swords at random
>half of a unit charging whilst the other half sits still
>giant snaking queues of infantry trying to path down a street
>ranged units refusing to fire down from a wall, other ranged units refusing to fire up to one

It's so utterly, utterly broken in a thousand different ways. You'd have to be genuinely stupid to not notice.

How do I use war priests effectively /twg/?

I always end up just using them as corruption mops, but I feel like they could do so much more.

Mind you, Kingdoms fixed a lot of the more prominent bugs. Not all of them. But a lot of them.

If we're talking about things in previous TW titles that always bugged me, I hate how characters in Medieval 1 can suddenly get the Inbred trait. Like, I've had you around for years, why is it only NOW that you're becoming inbred? And why is it getting worse each year?

If they get wiped the game will pull them out it's ass like it does with beastmen.

>>174194697
They're a savage orc faction, meaning that when they're wiped out they might respawn later as a horde. Unlike the playable hordes, though, if they take a settlement they have the option of keeping it and settling down. Maybe they got wiped out, respawned somewhere near Sylvannia, and then took a Karak?

Same way as everyone else, attack their enemies and inject them with money.

>>174175882
GG also have relatively low melee skill so can have trouble hitting dwarves...but I suppose who doesnt? GG plus healing makes them a great anvil for blood knights and that's your biggest advantage agaisnt dwarves
Wraiths also suffer from very low melee skill so all that AP damage gets some what wasted.
You can also use vargs of either variety as useful disruption units. Flyers can often take care of quarrellers and thunderers and the big guy can act as a good forward hook keeping dwarves tied up. He won't do damage quickly but most of his attacks have considerable knock down so it also keeps dwarves from getting too many attacks off onto him. Keep either variety as far away from slayers as you can manage

Form a pillbox

Reminder that anti-large bonus is both AP and normal damage, and anyone who assumes otherwise is wrong and didn't bother to check


"Charge bonus adds additively to attack and damage if a unit has charged into combat. It is at max on the first second of engagement and is linearly reduced over 15 seconds. The damage increases uses the existing ratio of ap-to-base damage to determine how much of each it should add. E.g. a unit with 12 charge bonus and 25% ap damage, will get +12 attack, +3 ap damage, +9 base damage on the first second of the engagement.

Bonus vs. large/infantry adds additively to attack and damage like charge bonus, but only against a certain entity size. It's a constant bonus. It's damage increase uses the same ap-base ratio system as charge bonus."

>>174201674
Very little. I'd like it if resources were strategically important like in Shogun 2, to make taking hold of certain settlements more pressing. So far, the only ones that do anything are Iron, Dwarf Beer, Fertile Soil, and Lumber. Furs too, if you're a greenskin. Even then, it's not that the resources themselves are valuable, it's that you can build secondary buildings to aid unit production in that province.

miss-micro'd the gyro-bomber and accidently left it in range of like 5 archer units without realising.

It fled before firing a single bomb. I reckon it could've easily caused a mass route and made it a close or decisive victory.

I have a question about SaveParser for Total War games if anybody uses it.

Basically, Wood Elves in my campaign lost their starting province, which got resettled by Torgovann, and basically, they stuck with their shitty tree. They can't spawn any army, so I can't raze King's Glade and allow them to resettle it.

Can I change the owner back through the editor?

>>174204814

Terrorgheists aren't the most effective things but they fit into niche mass terror builds.

>get like 3 vampires + flying vampire lord

>>174206171
Sort of the opposite with me. I went from a shitty HD with a corrupted version of windows to a 1TB SSD with a fresh botnet installation and everything has been amazing aside from steam streaming which somehow broke this week for me.

Is it worth playing on normal but declaring war on every faction?

>>174206346
That dosen't sound too bad, it just upsets me that they have no place in a normal vampire army composition. In fact I'm not a huge fan of Vampire monsters outside the early game (campaign), and in niche circumstances in MP period.

I can't justify Vargheist/Varghulf/Terrorgheist in the same way I could the Big Spider, Giants, Shaggoth or steam tanks or something

you are allies at the start of the game, they could betray you but in practise they're getting their shit pushed in so hard and you share so many enemies you'll be >200 relations the whole game anyway

>ethereal units are pretty underwhelming
banshee with the physical resist amulet can tie up entire armies and eats elite infantry for lunch.

literally the only trick with undead is to keep all of your shit in one big blob so you can overcast ion on it again and again.

ok guys, what if

an entire army of pikemen and scorpions

the pikes reach out infront of the scorpions while they machine gun the enemy to death

genius right?

>>174220803
Banshees are the one exception because literally the only thing they can't do is assault armies on the campaign map. Otherwise they're amazing in armies (they kill, they're tanky, they cause terror) and amazing on the campaign (probably the #2 best assassin, amazing at blocks, can damage walls).

But the meta has changed beyond the initial crypt horror/cairn wraith deathblob which was the only niche ethereal troops otherwise excelled at. Now you're almost always better off with blood knights or black knights over hexwraiths and cairn wraiths are a jack of all trades when you can choose a better troop for whatever your blob is.

They're not awful, I honestly don't think the VC have a unit that is truly useless beyond some corpse cart variants and even necromancers can be really good in MP but there's no area I've found where their ethereal troops excel.

>>174224112
But they do. At least in my games I never had problems with re-recruiting the confederated LLs.

It says he is able to be recruited again but I cannot find him.

We have to guard our independence!

>>174224440
The deadliness of gobbo bosses on the campaign map adds like half of their charm. I can't help but chuckle, imagining a lil' gobbo stabbing Kholek to death and running away undetected.

>>174224395
Yes. He does not show up.

So /twg/; on a personal level do you prefer day goblins, forest goblins, or night goblins?

>>174225124
Dead gobs.

We call them the "Dark Souls of Attila" due to their challenging start location in a chaotic location. Only take them on once you have become a skilled understander.

>>174225545
What's this about Altdorf being a hovel?

Altdorf starts out as a level 2 settlement, classifying it as a village.

>>174225708
I didnt save the picture. Hopefully someone will post it.

>>174225708
Basically people complaining about the balancing aspect of not starting with a fully levelled up city.

>>174224183
Consider this: The game starts in the Age of Legends, but over time the Legends die off, and are succeeded by a next generation of non-Legends! Pretty cool hey~

>>174226316
I always liked forging my narrative with no-name officers for both parties more than using the big shots.

>>174223561
I'm pretty sure you can re-recruit fallen heroes after some time has passed.

>>174226146
Empire is pretty badly balanced, though.

>>174226146
>>174225865
People complained Altdorf looked like a hovel on the campaign map.

>>174226404
It says you can recruit him with a message then you can't find him.

He is just grayed out.

>>174224474
Estalia and Tilea will hopefully be remade when skaven comes out since skavenblight is smack in the middle of the two

>>174226658
Hopefully the Empire also since the 2nd largest (Essentially the largest) Skaven city is located right under altdorf

>>174227276
>>174226658
The whole Old World map will be reformatted for the new Grand Campaign.

Hmmmm yes. Today is the day

>>174225124
I prefer Night, but truthfully I think we need a Lord or LL for the other two, theres enough fun characters in lore to pull it off too.

I tried to assassinate all LLs in my last Skarsnik campaign.

Stabbing Sarthorael to death was my crowning achievement.
Just as planned, my ass.

do you guys think there'll be two levels in the new map because of the skaven ?

Kinda like in HoMM 3 with the underworld/hell and the surface world ?

that would be great, but it would cost like one billion charlemagnes so they will never do that

we will just get more rat paths, jungle paths, elf paths, tomb paths and etc
