The Tatsuno finally sally forth after spending the entire fall season stuck inside Harima, and a Satsuma force under the emperor's personal banner is reinforcing, but it is mostly levy infantry and traditional units.

This is probably the last big battle of this campaign, as I only need 3 more cities, and have armies with striking distance of awari, on an island just south of hariman, and sado, which is finally about to be reclaimed from the Sado rebels

I can't fucking believe it. I will have siege defense. Mod Better Siege AI did it work. I played so many Total War games and comfy defending was so rare to see.
>>174798557
I agree that it need more content, but i don't believe that heroes is what this game need. Maybe new kinds of wizards, but that's all and optional, as people usually don't like playing as mage in Vermintide. Beside this who could they add? Bretonnian Knight and someone from Kislev wouldn't be that much different from Bardin and Kruber. High Elf could be interesting, but except for him/her there is no more important good faction to add hero from.
New maps (which will have as new dlc is incoming), game modes (eg. versus mode from left4dead2 or at least fixing last stand, maybe some stealth based mode), new enemies (fighting against greenskins, undead, beastmen or chaos would be so much fun) if they even can do this as the game is called Vermintide or at least adding new skaven enemy types would be welcome.

To the previous post about Vermintide's lack of quality there's hundreds of characters i can think of.

Slayer who gains damage the less health he is at. On higher difficulty does melee friendly fire but wrecks house with damage output.

High elf swordmaster who specializes on stances but cant block nearly as well. Cannot be on the same team as dwarfs and vice versa.

Ogre who is slow but has a charge bonus into enemy ranks and cant pick up tomes or grims because he must keep eating everything. Cant heal from standard means.

Arabyan summoner who gains more magic to expend on genies the more she kills in melee.

I really could do this all day. I only mention this lack of characters to indicate Fat Shark's reluctance to increase the web of interesting gameplay choices. Each new dlc without a new character is a fuckin bamboozle, I can't think of one issue that adding more diversity doesn't solve and it's right in front of their fucking faces they're just ignoring the elephant in the room.

After Sado falls, I win. Despite the setback in Hokkaido and the enemy's control of the seas, my armies couldn't be stopped, and pushed the enemy all the way to their breaking point. Eventually economic techs made up for the money lost from naval bombardment/trade raiding, and I was able to re-establish my fleets, allowing me to reclaim hokkaido and sado from the enemy.

Fair, they are all just examples. I hate the thought that fatshark "can't think of any diverse characters to add on top of these" it's silly. That's their fucking jobs.

The bretonnian knight would be sick though, Maybe when he's on a roll he could get blessing of the lady until he takes damage again.

>>174805239
> and avoid the enemy just sending a formation chasing them across the map

That's to your advantage though. Having an elite enemy foot unit chasing your cav means that they won't be fightning your infantry.

>>174805239
You have to have an anvil for your cavalry hammer. If you send them in alone, you're going to have a hard time disengaging, and you'll lose more cav than you should. With the anvil, the enemy is already engaged and can't bring its full weight to bear against them, with the obvious bonus of it being fucking hammer & anvil.

>>174805239
Either

a) pin the enemy down with your infantry
b) let them chase and hit them with archers
c) charge with one unit of cav, as soon as they hit pull them back and hit the enemy with a second cav unit. Rinse repeat until the enemy is gone

Cost effectiveness for the role of basic line holder i think is the salient point though

not before they reveal the 4th race.
or maybe at the same time they do.

Are wardancers just garbage for a normal wood elf army? Fuck, most of the wood elves melee roster just seems off

>>174808745

Yeah, siege assaults in FotS can be pretty tricky, especially in the early game when you're using a lot of traditional units.

BotET 1.5 official open beta release is being uploaded now. Should be out tomorrow.

>>174813012
To be fair it was blowing my mind how many forts were built on the bottom of valleys. It was so fucking stupid. Four sharpshooters and two cannon could whittle down a full stack to a few nearly broken units by themselves.

>>174813224
Yeah, there are around 4-5 different basic siege maps in FotS, each of which have five different fort levels, and the maps tend to be geographically grouped so at any point in a campaign you'll be fighting on the same siege map a lot.

Why? Or is it just that a vast majority of my forces as elves is supposed to be ranged?

If I retreat from a siege battle in Shogun 2 (I'm attacking), does the siege go on or does my army flee?

Having superiority in ranged troops and artillery, I'm thinking going in, spending my ammunition and leaving would be a sound strategy if the siege goes on.

>>174814572

Yeah, I'm 90% certain your army will break the siege.

Is there a mod to add sarthoel as a playable lord in campaign?

>>174814804
Shame. Probably still works (I could definitely inflict more casualties than they can recover in a turn, and I think they won't reinforce at all since their castle will be damaged)

>>174814920
Yes. The Crynsos framework does.

I remember reading that someone said WH will need double it's memory space to patch itself. That true? Because I really don't wanna uninstall a bunch of other shit to deal with that.

>>174815719
yes - for whatever reason the game requires 2x the memory space that it does when updating. It is going to be nightmarish as the games get larger w/ the combined campaigns

>>174815719
Yep.

For whatever reason when the game needs to patch, it needs the entire game's worth of memory free.

So if the game is 30gb, you need at least 60 to install and have room for not to patch.

It's long term memory storage and has been referred to as such for as long as it's fuckin existed.

Because the moon was made of Warpstone, so blowing it up would cause a virtually unlimited supply of the stuff to come crashing down to earth ready for harvesting.

>>174843506
As someone who's played against the AI on custom siege maps, I can confirm that they cause the AI will shit the bed. It doesn't see any wall segments so will treat the map as a field battle and act accordingly, with predictably dire results.

>>174814009

>want to support TWW because it's an awesome game
>would really enjoy a wood elf campaign
>also don't want to support stupid DLC practices that charge insane amounts of extra dosh just because they add a campaign you don't really want
I'M TORN

it'd be easier if they actually did interesting shit with the mini-campaigns to deviate it more from the grand campaign, like making it start at insane end-game levels where everyone has huge stacks or something.

>>174842086
I mean, that looks fucking amazing and everything and it'd be a blast to play on with like 8 players probably.

But there's no way a version of Karaz-a-Karak that big would function in the campaign. It'd either need to be a 3rd of the size or the entire game would have to revolve around everyone having like 8 stacks all the time.

>>174842086
The problem with shit on the scale of actual lore is that we don't have other shit to match it on the appropriate scale.

That gate is so fucking huge anything but a giant battering ram or a colossal giant or arachnarok breaking it down would just look silly.

your basically squandering your best way to win battles.

>>174833642
there's a mod that adds grimnir's heirs back instead of the shitty ranger upkeep reduction.

Other than that new red tree is based though.

army wide +15 CB is fucking insane and if you stack all ranger buffs from red tree, tech & an engi they become the best units in the game.

>>174846115
Tree would have been better suited to Bugman or something

>>174844652
>insane amounts of extra dosh
>insane

Annoying? Yes. Insane? Not unless you're 15.

>>174846515
True, I doubt we'll see him though, which is a shame because it'd be a nice way to add a healing unit to dwarfs.

It's just a tree that they gave to the new lords because they wanted people to use the DLC units and it does make them fucking insane.

If you fully buff great weapon rangers and get then to rank 9 (easy as shit to do with Belegar) they get 85 armour piercing missile damage, the melee stats & charge bonus of black orcs along with 44 speed, which makes them the second fastest foot-unit in the game, second only to wardancers.

They can eviscerate a flank as skimishers and then charge it as an elite melee unit when they run out of ammo.

>>174845892
i've easily won with barely any losses so dunno.
What's a better formation according to you?

>>174847381
you need small gaps for irondrakes and bolt throwers to shoot through into their infantry blob.

If you make them the right size the AI won't try and budge through them at all.

miners with blasting charges should be deployed behind infantry with auto-fire off, ready to throw their shit into melee blobs.

Warriors with great weapons should be at the back instead of miners because they're way better at flanking.

When you're playing as Beastmen, how do Archaeon and his chums work? Do they try to kill you, as they think they're the superior, more chaotic chaos, or what?

>>174867054
You're neutral with them. It's up to you if you want to fight them or ally with them
Rampaging across the world alongside Archaon is fun though, and hiding under his protection can help when deathsquads come chasing you down

>>174867242
So, am I missing something, or would it be really hard to make any real progress with wiping out factions as a horde, especially beastmen? I can understand it in the early game when everybody has like one or two provinces, but late-game seems like it'd be abysmal.

>no bretonnian peasant archer with an assortment of arrows to choose from

Just in the middle of my first playthrough as vampire counts. At turn 180 with small campaign goals done.
I've confederated with von Carsteins, conquered the empire, fought back chaos after initial setbacks (I didn't knew they will be 50% mongol-tier ranged cavalry and 25% chariots so I brought mostly infantry). After that I was severely bored with undead armies and their lack of ranged units and the lack of diversity in ranks and have formed a new army for mannfred to conquer bretonians.
This army consists of Mannfred riding a dragon, 4 winged terrors to group with him, 4 experienced vargheists, Varghulf, vampire hero, necromancer hero, 2 groups of mutated ghouls and the rest is grave guard. I am yet to fight the first battle with this army.

All the other battles I did was like I was playing other tw games, with infantry, cavalry and flanking, and eventually some vargheists and bats to fight chaos. Am I a shitter for creating something dramaticly different? What can I expect?

>>174830979

>>174871998
Like any player would put every single infantry unit on the walls and leave a commander unit defending the gate singlehandedly, while keeping 3 heavy cavalry units at the town sqare?

You did alright, playing defensively though defeats the purpose of having only one save because you can't get punished for your mistakes

I'VE GOT SCHEMES

Now that's Scheme's.
Think you'll be able to hold it?

The good settlement map pack is the "Ultimate Minor Settlements pack for Grand Campaign" one, right?

I seem to remember people talking about one of the popular custom campaign map replacement mods being really shitty

>>174818431
Its the most polished TW with firearms and line tactics. Add in the unique setting and the ability to btfo hordes of katana wielding nip traditionalists with your artillery, naval bombardments, and gatring guns and its a very enjoyable campaign

idk just looks like edgy armor to go with the faction aesthetic, although maybe he will get one. Isn't his main mount a dragon or something?

Did you set the difficulty the same?

Also, your lord in campaign is likely to have a bunch of boosts from being higher level which could have some degree of influence

>Did you set the difficulty the same?

>Also, your lord in campaign is likely to have a bunch of boosts from being higher level which could have some degree of influence

Yeah, thats the one that people seem to like. I have it and like it well enough. I remember hearing, though, that the minor settlement mod makes it impossible to build walls around settlement. I'm not sure if that's true though, havent tested that.

The one that people don't like (here on /twg/ anyway) is the one for big cities, because they're apparently made for 8 players in multi, so the AI can't navigate them.
