not sure, there should probably be one.

I just realised he actually replaces Grimnir's heirs which is one of the best skills with an upkeep reduction for rangers... by 15%...

That's the worst possible skill anyone could come up with, it doesn't even fit in the red tree.

It's stupid that they did pretty well with Snarsnik's red tree, but for some reason they thought the entire new dwarf red tree should revolve around rangers despite the fact that they're a niche unit.

They are fighting in a large pair of granny pants though

They'd just look so much better with leggings instead of bare thigh.

>>174287559
Beastmen are enormously good fun if you play them right then flat out broken once you get enough minotaurs.

Chaos if heavily modded are ok.

>>174287559
I had fun on my chaos campaign, but I got it with preorder, not sure if I'd buy it.

Chaos campaigns are great if you just ignore norsca and pillage shit southwards.

They're also the fastest faction to tech, which helps a fair bit.

>>174287754
Why are minotaurs broken? EZ mode?

>>174287881
With khazrak as your starting Lord + the right buildings it is entirely feasible to have an army consisting of nothing but various flavours of minotaur who don't cost much upkeep. As beastmen you also have no proximity attrition like chaos does. So you can have a second army of doggoes, harpies, battlepigs and anything else that's fast to reinforce the minobus.

This combination is literally unstoppable once up and running.

>>174288096
It gets even better if you're playing steel faith overhaul with it.

In any event it's absolutely fucking hilarious.

DESU at this point I'm fairly sure the Olf Friend is just Suffering, which would indicate that it was released about 20 years ago.

>>174287858
This is correct. Norsca is shit.

Though I've had a couple playthroughs where the Norscans have (along with woodelves and talabecland) chased my doomstack down near Barak Varr.

>>174288503
I have a weird feeling that the old friend was meant to be Krell. Then someone at CA HQ realised that yet more VC content released on it's own as DLC would cause a tremendous shit storm so they're quietly working on bringing Boris online.

>>174288096

If give your right nut for Taurox.

I'm pretty sure there are loads of beastmen up in Canada so it'd make sense for FLC lords to be included. Even indeed as incentive to buy game 1.

>>174288969
A middenland faction on the level of bretonnia would be incredible. It's add a whole lot to the empire flavourwise. As long as old Franz is easy enough to confederate with. It's just be nice to care about what's north of the Reik before turn 80 too.

>>174289253
but we are still missing wargors, doombulls, and the Ghorgons and if Bretonnia can get a few new things (including the damn royal pegger knights that are redonculous) can't other factions that don't have huge rosters get some new toys? Not even to mention their complete limited roster, I mean thats the main shit stain on the Beasties while WoC are clearly a faction unlocker mod they sold for $8. I like the game and CA but seriously the bad guys outside VC get no love.

Are Outriders any better

So I really liked the 1on1 fights and duels in Shogun 2 but some anon said they are worse than what we have in warhammer

Can someone please explain me why they were bad? I really don't know, I thought they were cool.

>>174289882
yes, outriders are loads better. the grenade variants are kind of hard to use though

>>174289794
Hopefully CA fleshes out the rosters of existing factions with each new game and throughout their lifespan. I don't think they are planning on charging for upgrade packs for the rosters of already existing races, I hope not.

>>174289882
As long as you aren't being shot at or shooting at anything with armour pistoliers are pretty decent. Their really value is in kiting things and generally being fucking fast though.

>>174290034
>So I really liked the 1on1 fights and duels in Shogun 2

Mechanics wise I've heard it's something about the warscape engine being terrible for melee which was apparently fixed in warhammer.

put grenadiers behind your battle line and fire into infantry blobs.

Trying to actually use them as cav just gets them shredded by skirmishers.

>>174290075
I think this would be a nice way round the no dlc for dlc thing. So they can add whatever to say beastmen with game 2. If you want to play as them and use the stuff though you need to own game 1 and beastmemes DLC. Sure some newfags might get butthurt but I imagine the base game 1 will be cheap after 2 is released.

>>174290341

I guess thats where they are going. Lets hope 3 fixes a lot of shit with the destroyer races.

>>174287559
Beastmen are straight fire if you love ambushing all day every day. One of the main things about the beastmen, atleast in my experience, is that the core units cant hold a line for very long, while heroes and Minotaurs can tangle units up for a large amount of time.

The year is 2021. TW WH has been an enormous commercial success.
No history game has been released since before TW WH1.

Anticipation of CAs next release is at fever pitch. Will it be China? Pike and shot?

The teaser trailer is to be unveiled at E3.

Grace, now heavily pregnant with Legend of Total Wars offspring smiles at the crowd of rabid autists.

So I've been playing around with some more in depth mods from the workshop, particular ones involving Mousillon. Like http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=827729083 for example.

Does anyone happen to know if there are any less-overhaul mods for the subfaction that don't drastically change the feel of it, but might still bump it up to somewhere in the realm of a "proper" fleshed out faction? If I'm not mistaken, the Red Duke isn't even immortal like most legendary lords if you just use a basic faction unlocker, nor does he have any unique legendary items.

If all else fails, can anyone more experienced with CA mod packs tell me how easy or difficult it might be to, say, just rip out the Duke's legendary items from the above mod without all of the other changes it implements?

It always pisses me off when people say you have so much more stuff to micro in Warhammer.

The pause button's there for a reason.

Also most of the formations weren't even micro intensive.

You use spear walls & shield walls on units who are gonna be pretty still, you use stuff like loose formation mostly pre-clash to dodge some arty fire.

holy fuck, divide et impera actually makes Rome 2 playable

I'm sad I won't be able to finish the Breto-Elven War (Which the Elves have ironically stepped out of) because I'm going to be away training for a month. But when I get back, the Southern Realms will burn.

>>174291640
High Elves will have formations bcuz dey r speshul

Also High Elves will be the special race that gets tons of stuff in game 2. I would have said tomb kangz because of grace but kangz don't have that much stuff and are a DLC so all the lords they're going to get- besides maybe a free one- will be in game when their DLC comes out.

Bits and pieces. The combined map will keep all of the Old World's provinces, some minor factions will be cut for optimization. It won't be present on release.

The bastilodon is in the game, unit caps will exist for the quickmatch in multiplayer.

Daemons will prolly be rolled up into god devoted factions consisting of marked warriors and daemons. The daemons by themselves would be really boring since there are few options. And the idea of the different daemons working together in the same faction is stupid.

With the Chaos expansion a WoC full flesh out would be appropriate instead of the early access version we have now.

So for some reason my giant spider units have two models now and a giant gobbo is clipping inside one of them stuck in an idle animation.

When mentioned that a single god literally has a handful of units, some suggested the daemons of all 4 be merged in order to inflate the roster, which is stupid.

Each has 1 (one) core option, followed a few cav/chariot/monsterous beast/etc/ options based on the god represented.

While using the daemons to fluff up Warriors sounds more appealing to me, by themselves doesn't offer the player much.

Easy to split up the LL's too. Take a WoC champion and a Daemonic champion, bam done

If the Empire of Sigmar were consistent with it's Holy Roman Empire/Germanic States parody it would make sense that the militia units would use Messers. It even kinda looks like it on the model.

>>174303382
Grace already confirmed it wasn't going to be that big. So, most likely re-used assets for a new faction like Middenland for the Empire States or Moussilon for the Vampire Cunts. Either that, or a one-of unit like adding Krell as a legendary hero for the Vampire Cunts.

>>174305123
Don't really care personally, I'll be a little annoyed if it's yet more VC stuff though. Other factions need love too.

I wonder if they're going to give the magic system a face lift since there are two factions big on using magic coming in in addition to how magic has been needing to be re-adjusted for a bit.

Any chances of playable border princes coming up in any DLC?

>>174305240
They better. It's bland as fuck right now.
Too many spells that all feel the same, like they had to fill a quota for each race to have some bland status effect.

>>174305413
I'm sure they'll milk all the minors in DLCs.
Border Princes, Estalia, Tilea, Pirates, Kislev, Vampire Coast, Mongorians, northern dwarfs with their ancient runemasters, etc. because they've burned up all the primary races with the 3 games.

>>174305415
A shame how the buff and debuff spells are so strong compared to the flashier spells. Also the arrival of the lore of life probably exacerbated the problem; the heals became an insta pick for any army that could have them, and heals are pretty fucking boring. Also flock of doom gets me so mad, not when it's used against me, but just that its so strong while being so fucking boring.

>>174305415
CA is super afraid of making the magic system too beefy. They're afraid it would ruin multiplayer gameplay if it were too powerful, like for instance if Purple Sun of Xereus actually did what it was supposed to and half the enemy army died painfully they're afraid that would ruin gameplay. The multiplayer community for TW:W is pretty big right now which explains CA's servitude in the form of major buffs and nerfs to units just for the purpose of multiplayer balance.

>>174305415
I mean, all the spells are straight out of the tabletop rulebooks they just nerfed them heavily for gameplay reasons.
>https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_Magic

>>174305672
And we can't ignore the fact that mods can buff the magic system to usefulness fairly easily.

Basically, how much space do you need on uour drive to instal TW:WH?
I heard you need much more than the supposedly required 35GB

>>174305672
>The multiplayer community for TW:W is pretty big right now

Proofs? Seems weird that it would be big when the matchmaking for this game is almost less than bare bones.

>>174305967
That's the problem. There's no visceral action, it's just classic RPG representations of effects.

You cast some 30% icy slow effect with a blue whoosh on an enemy unit and it's speed is at 0.70, rather than watching some dudes succumb to winter frostbite as a frost nova expands from the center and shatters some few instantaneously and the remaining few are struggling to break free.
There could be so much more if they had some artistic freedom, but instead they shackle themselves to some numbers in a book because apparently it's more important to cover all the lores instead of creating some few interesting effects?
I don't know.

I don't necessarily doubt that but again, how do you figure? Is there a way to check how many multiplayer or singleplayer games are occurring?

Oh dear.

>>174306737
No clue. You can check the rankings in-game to see just how many people have played a multiplayer match competitively, but that doesn't account for all the people playing co-op campaigns or casual multiplayer games. You can also look at streamers on Youtube or Twitch like Turin, Ninjahund, HeirofCarthage, etc and just look at their viewer counts to gauge how big the multiplayer community is... Steam game stat websites might tell you.

>>174308260
Yes but be warned, when the game patches it needs the full game's worth of free memory.

So if you have 48 gb and install WH, leaving you 13 gb, you won't have enough space to patch it.

How good are Skarsnik's gobbo army after you invest some points into the red tree? How do they compare to Grimgor and his army?

>>174308526
I wonder what the technical reason is they do it that way?

>>174308638
Here's a simple breakdown: Grimgor is cunningly brutal where as Skarsnik is brutally cunning.

>>174308669
I think it's a steam issue. I noticed the same thing happened when Stellaris patched recently.

But on the other hand, the same didn't happen when Hitman patched so idk

I don't understand the extreme asshurt.

There will be TWW2, then the other team will release TW:Three Kingdoms or whatever they'll call it, then TWW3.

At this point teh only thing CA could do to stop the rage would be to make an actually good return to Empire, Medieval and Rome.
Those are practically impossible because sega wants more shekels NOW, so we can pretty much forget about getting them until well after TWW3.

One can only hope that CA learned that nobody gives a shit about dungheap warfare (i.e. Attila)

>GOT certainly would be, TW LOTR comes down to execution more than anything.
lolno

LotR would require way more work, an expensive license and shitloads of artwork and game mechanics changes to every single faction.

GoT on the other hand is exactly what CA looks for: Copypaste factions with a bunch of special units and buildings each.
They could practically copypaste the full game mechanics from TWW with very minor changes.

>>174325639
>>174325448

GOT Total war is such a fucking shit idea.

All the Westeros factions will be basically the same, Gurm the Worm doesn't care about the logistics of warfare so there's barely any detail put into that aspect of the setting.

>>174325448
And no matter what they did, a GOT TW would be shit, that's my point.

LotR factions basically don't require any more work than CA has already put into Warhams total War. In fact, most of the TWW stuff could be easily modified to fit the main races.

The license is probably the bigger factor.
LotR has had an enormous presence since the three original movies, and the WETA guys managed to give the whole setting a very well defined aesthetic.

GoT is actually not bad in the looks department, and the map and faction setup isn't exactly bad either.

>There will be TWW2, then the other team will release TW:Three Kingdoms or wh
Nope. They already said its not coming next year.

>>174326334
Welp.
Didn't really follow the news too closely.

>>174326424
Yeah they did a video about the future of TW

10 minutes of TWW and 2 minutes of the history guy basically saying they have a "black ops dev team" looking at making some histroy content like dlc or an expansion for a history game while the main histroy team starts developing the history title

So it looks like we get TWW2 this year, TWW3 next + maybe a history dlc then TW history in 2019/2020

If they add Jabberslythes, Doombulls, Taurox and Ghorgon, and fix the tech tree so that Bestigors get some bonuses, then they'll be alright.

Beastmeme are my favourite faction to play but their roster is really lacking.
