>>174679895
I'm humorously exaggerating. My understanding is that Nagash deeply fears that which he does not control, and so seeks to eradicate all sentience besides his own to remove all uncertainty. He's very paranoid of other people and constantly expects betrayal, and so decided that he could only be safe if everyone was dead.

Well, that was my only one, so I guess that campaign's done. Estalia done diddled me. I wanna give Durthu/elves in general another try, they're pretty fun once you get the hang of it. They can 'occupy' any settlement, right?

Wood Elves don't hate malekith. They don't think much about him and there's very little evidence to suggest they think worse of them than they do high elves. Of all the non-explicitly evil races, Wood Elves put up with Dark Elves the most.

>Controversially, Hideyoshi ordered the execution of Hidetsugu's entire family, including children, wives and mistresses, at Sanjogawara. The harshness and brutality of executing 39 women and children shocked Japanese society and alienated many daimyōs from Toyotomi rule.

>Combined with the fact that Hidetsugu was the last adult member of the Toyotomi clan besides Hideyoshi himself, the whole incident is often seen to be one of the key causes of the Toyotomi downfall. In a particularly tragic case, Hideyoshi refused to spare the life of Mogami Yoshiaki's 15-year-old daughter, who had only just arrived in Kyoto to become Hidestugu's concubine and had not yet even met her husband-to-be.

>Her death caused the powerful Mogami clan to zealously support Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Battle of Sekigahara against Toyotomi loyalist forces, five years later.

>>174675032
Takeda, Oda, or Date assuming their daimyo are Shingen, Nobunaga, and Masamune respectively.

All of them, but especially Nobunaga, had already made efforts to reform their territories and customs to create prosperity including tax reforms, land reforms, castle towns, removing monopolies, establishing foreign trade, and division of labor.

Nobunaga and Masamune were also widely open to accepting foreign ideas and contacts so it's likely we wouldn't see Japan stagnate for 200 years like it did in the Edo period.

No
There's so much stuff they can put in that actually had more than a footnote in the lore that they will likely never reach the point of having to make up almost entirely new factions

One sided battles against you are worth playing more often than not because you usually can do more damage than if you just autoresolve.

Especially if the enemy is in your lands and can't recruit new troops. Instead of killing like 10 men in 20 units, you can maybe wipe out a strong ranged unit

Finally get my momentum going with FotS. Currently playing as Nagaoka. I like traditional jap armor and I want to know if it's worth it to have an army consist of traditional units. That matchlock Kachi fits the bills for having gunners in armor aesthetic but they seem inferior to other gunners.

Since starfire shafts are magic-ap, are they still better than normal glade Guard against heavy Armour dorfs?

>>174699907

>>174699907
Matchlock kachi hold the dubious honor of being the single worst unit in any TW game. They take two turns to build, they're expensive, they're short-ranged, they have a small unit-size, and they use different bullets than the other FotS gun units that are inferior at penetrating armor. Yeah, they're a little more accurate and better at reloading than peasant levy, but who fucking cares.

There is no situation where you'd actually want Matchlock Kachi.

>>174699668

>>174700810
No, the regular glade guard do some alright AP, and have higher damage overall even before factoring in the -25% for magic, although its close.

They should still be better against most dorf units except Rangers and Irondrakes (and a Dwarf army led by a Runelord w/Anvil of Doom, and even then, they should be roughly the same)

the base 80 armor of Dwarfs will, on average, reduce more than 25% of damage, compare that with the static 25% resist to magic

>>174699907
matchlock kachi are dogshit - if you want ranged units when going traditional, just pick up bow kachi - they outrange most modern units (excluding sharpshooters) and will do work against the lightly armored line units. Going all melee is definitely doable, be sure to build your melee guys in a province w/ a buddhist shrine for the bonus charge damage

>>174701476
>>174702506
Tests on Reddit point to it being percentage based, with a big deviation on how much damage is saved

I don't have the link tho

>>174702856
I haven't checked how big the AP factor is in regular GG, but with how armored most dwarfs are, it's likely the additional AP outweighs the 25% resist, it's probably a waste of money tho

>>174702506
Its a roll, where you always resist 50% of your armor value. So a 30 armor unit is going to resist between 15-30% of non-AP damage

WHAT THE FUCK

>tfw you just got completely fucking outplayed by the ai

>>174703034
I don't see why you'd feel strong enough to disagree with someone when you could've checked it yourself very easily.
I checked myself, and the answer was surprising.
A standard glade guard is going to give you 18 normal and 4 AP damage, while starfire shafts give you 2 normal and 2 16 AP, which is 1.75 and 12 AP after the penalty for magic. If about half of the non-AP damage can get through, your doing more damage than the starfire shafts. So how much gets through?

Outside of meme units like ironbreakers, dwarfs have 80-95 armor. At 80, they are guaranteed to block 40% of damage,and likely to block 60%. That means around seven points of damage for 11 AP- So the starfire shafts barely edge out regular glade guard against dwarf warriors or quarrellers, but not for cost. (Actually, either is inefficient and gets shit on by dwarfs, but thats not the point) Against longbeards and better, it edges more in favor of the starfire shafts.

Waywatchers firing at a decent range are going to be hitting for over 22 AP and 6 regular damage, though- they are way more cost effective vs dwarfs than you'd expect.

I didn't care about warhammer before Total Warhammer. I started to like it after newest TW and bought Vermintide on humble bundle.
It's fucking great. Better Left4Dead with better heroes, great maps, attention to detail and better setting. Contracts and loot gives you motivation to play maps again. So far community i played with is great, higher lvl players help newbies, and the worst ones just doesn't talk/write. Tho, I havent played on cataclysm yet where elitist cunt could contain themselves. The only problem is that playerbase is small. And combat is fun af becasue you "feel" every strike and it's easy to die.
I'm playing it right now as i got bored of total war after 6 campaign in row.

>installed 1.5
>Skaven start with Skavenblight and two smaller provinces instead of a dozen ones all in the middle of fucking nowhere
>generals now have the 'reserves' trait which increases the number of casualties recovered after battle for your basic units
>start with enough Skavenslaves to make a full stack and take the nearby cities by drowning the defenders in completely expendable rats
>had a unit of slaves take 100 casualties then recover all 100 after the battle in one assault

God damn, this update is better in every single way.

It's 14+ books by at least 5 different authors. Don't bother. Other good ones

Angelika Fleischer by Robin D. Laws
Drachenfels.

>>174715919

I'd recommend reading the first 7 or so, which are written by King, the original author, and then only continuing if you really, really want to.

Almost everyone of note was guilty of betrayal back then. This was before a bunch of armchair warriors began writing philosophy on how to be a proper samurai in the Edo period.

I fucking loved Trollslayer. It's basically a collection of short stories about early adventures of Gotrek and Felix.
Then the second one, Skavenslayer is where it's more one story, still kinda like a tv show with episodes. It's probably the best in the series and it introduces Thanquol.
The third one, Daemonslayer was also great.

After that it get a bit repetitive. I'd say to read the first omnibus and then decide about continuing or moving to other series.

>>174714776
if you don't care about End Times most of the novels were actually really good, better than most I've read from BL especially just for some character studies. The times of legends Nagash books are great as well.

But the End Times novels were also pretty good themselves. Most of them.

>>174720931

How hard is it to make a mod that adds new units?

I always see mods that mix & match bits of armour from different units to make new ones and I'd quite like to make a custom lord that way.

>>174721502
Archaon the Everclipping has been a thing since day one

8 months later, it's not even worth mentioning anymore

>>174721667

Last I checked there were cheap used copies on Amazon if you don't mind spending a few shekels

>>174721750
>How hard is it to make a mod that adds new units?
Easy, I'd recommend downloading any basic unit mod and building on top of it, since it can get confusing as fuck

>I'd quite like to make a custom lord that way.
Uh oh, lords are a pain to add, if you really want to go for it, get the "All tabletop lords" mod and replace one of it's lords with yours
