Lads how do I undead?

I've been doing just fine on the big map but on the battlefield I feel I could be doing better.

As VLAD I just mashed my way through the campaign with him (plus zombies skellies) and Issy plus lots and lots of flying or fast stuff and a metric fuckton of vamps.

As Manfred though how do I compose my non legendary armies? Should they all go in tandem with one stack of decent stuff and another of basically just zombies?

Seriously what the fuck is the problem here. Did CA just not even bother optimizing this game, or is it the obnoxiously big battlefields that are draining all of the resources? Campaign map runs fine but still looks like fuzzy trash on anything less than high-ultra.

Warhammer is reasonably well optimized. It might just be the difference between being able to have lots of AA/AF in Shogun 2 to make it look very crisp, and not being able to run the equivalent in warhammer, which has some things like more detailed unit models which wouldn't be immediately apparent but still have a big impact on performance.

Because while you'll likely die or become so corrupted and mutated that you'll turn into a mindless monster, there's a 0,01% that you'll be deemed worthy of deamonhood and live forever in the warp as a demigod.

Lust for power or rewards that only chaos can give you (potential immortality being the main thing, Kemmler notably got his magic power and sanity back by making a pact with chaos)

>>175784964
Honestly yes. It is really rudimentary on the strategic layer, since at its heart it's just a framing mechanic for the tactical battles, but it still checks most of the qualifier boxes for grand strategy. It just doesn't check those boxes very well, and in the end the best strategy is usually just to paint the map militarily (but that's what you do in grand strategy anyways).

If stuff like Sengoku gets to be considered grand strategy, then so does Total War. It's just a very shallow type of grand strategy.

Nurgle is the god of NEETs.
People on 4chan like to think they'd be Slaanesh or Tzeentch guys, but the warm, nihilistic embrace of Nurgle is almost certainly more relevant.
He's the god of those who have no hope remaining for the future, who feel themselves growing older and despair at the time they have wasted yet have no drive to turn their lives around. He's the comforting parent who cares for their child's every need, never asking them to push themselves, never asking them to become anything. Just so long as they stay with Papa Nurgle until their teeth rot and their hair falls out.

Why try? Nothing you do matters. Busy yourself with petty things, with little games and make-believe and don't think about it. Papa Nurgle will look after you.

see this is why i said chaos worshipers are cucks. He spreads disease, why would you seek him for relief? He may offer some, and the cuck may get some level of sexual satisfaction, but he is still the source of their suffering. Same for those in the chaos wastes which is hard living mostly in part because chaos.

Again bunch of retards, their real life counterparts at least wanted to peace in the lands they conquered.

Because you have nothing left. Your Gods have forsaken you. Shallya provides no succour. You can fight until your last breath, but what would be the point? Life is suffering and Nurgle is not the cause, merely an agent of it.

So the prospective worshipper embraces their suffering and feels joy in it. It is no longer a curse but a blessing, and one they wish to share with the world.
Maybe that makes them a cuck. But it is easy to judge. Given the choice, who would choose despair and oblivion over joyous corruption and the promise of eternity?

can someone do one of those paint sketches on bretonnian tactics

You literally had forest between you and one of the armies in which you could run away from Archeon.

You could have sacrificed your slayers since they are unbreakable and maybe one stack of regular infantry to absorb the impact. Most of the troops would be going in and out of hiding while three sacrificed troops would be heading towards Archeon. Cannons could drop the hardware and move fast as well and take it back once your allies attack chaos and take most of the casualties.

>>175784964

unless you got a bird buddy to vouch for you, or you're not a very good archer

They do sometimes, but most of their captives end eaten later or sacrificed to the Gods.

>>175797856
That's fair, I meant more long term though. Like a guy might get taken captive but he's going to be dead in a few days more or less. A lady captured, she'll be alive till the baby kills her.

>>175797865
yeah I didn't have a military province set up, + belegar's skills means that dwarf warriors have better melee stats than longbeards in his army. I find that it doesn't matter what you bring against chaos unless you abuse ror, their chariots and cav will just ignore your infantry and go apeshit in your back-line

I just wanted to use bugmans this campaign, they served me well vs gobbos w/ their regen + passable melee stats, which meant that they could go rear charge when they ran out of ammo

The whole point of a GS is that the strategy part of the game is deep as fuck, not a single GS game is deep though.

They have some good strategy mechanics, and games like HoI have absolutely fucking godlike logistics that I would kill for in TW, but depth wise they are shallow. /gsg/ likes to pretend their games have depth because the UI is fucking god awful, and doing anything takes forever as you navigate 10 different menus to find information that could all be on one screen.

Wouldn't you be mad if Attila didn't follow it's source material, and had non-historical things like giants African hordes coming into Europe, or Attila being born is the illegitimate son of the last true surviving line of Julius Caesar? If they can't figure out the lore of a basic fantasy setting, how can they accurately portray history?

Ghost dads typically require magical counters that you may not always have access to so they're a bit of a niche pick and if countered will die pretty fast
Gorebulls and -maybe- the aspect of terror spell from a death shaman might help but only slightly, they're about the level of greenskins when it comes to running away

Without it why bother with the gear selection screen, it doesn't really add anything to the game role-play wise, nor does it fundamentally change the way the character/unit behaves.

Proper gear would make switching units on the fly easy.

Also speaking of character options where are they?

>>175801361
Clearly the Greenskins stole it from the Beastmen or stole it from someone who stole it from the Beastmen.

Anyone else hoping in Total Warhammer 2, and in 3 that they fix the way "realm divide" works?

Like around turn 20-30 Norscans and Beastmen get adventurous and more aggressive.

Maybe turn 40-50 a Daemon host spawns randomly in the world, and then can spawn 20 turns later if the current one has been defeated. This would help keep Lizardmemes, High Elves, and Dark Elves on their toes, and force them to keep a RDF and not just Waaagh across the world.

Turn 60-70 Warriors of Chaos spawn as they do with their initial shitty half stacks, also spawning north of Naggaroth.

Turn 80 the Vermintide comes (with some warning) spawning multiple large stacks of Skaven in different locations, one in Tilea, another in Bastonne, K8P, maybe one near where Mordheim is geographically, or Hell Pit? in Kislev, and in Lustria

Then finally turn 120ish Archaon, a Warherd, Sathorael or another Daemon, and two randomized Chaos LL spawn as normal.

>>175801417
probably because it was a neat way of referencing the RP nature of warhammer fantasy and you could customize your units with items similarly in older total war games?

I wouldn't mind if the events were randomised a little.
Maybe the Vermintide happens instead of Archaon. Or Nagash arises in the south and marches north, flipping it on its head.

But some smaller events would be good too. An Ogre migration pushes across the Dark Lands and over the mountains. Or an Orc Waaagh through Blackfire Pass and northwards.

They should split the Greenskins up like with Bretonnia. Do it three factions maybe, just generic Greenskins, then Goblins, and Black Orks. For generic Greenskins it's no preference and an overall balance of them, the other two are a focus on goblins and orks respectively.

Gorbad and Wurrzag LLs of Greenskins, Skarsnik and Grom of the Goblins, and Grimgor and some other for Black Orks.

A lot of the conflicts in the Boshin war were resolved with swords - under thirty meters, a trained swordsman was more deadly than a trained rifleman. Some sort of armor was a sensible precaution, especially in urban environments where the Shinsengumi did most of their fighting.

Usually when I unite whatever land I choose I just raze because leaving this is not leading to any great battles but to annoying chasing after small armies that raid my landes and attack some undefended cities.

>>175806568
Azhag also has been dead for a long time, characters being out of place/time isn't much a concern.

>>175806568
Azhag was dead, so was Vlad, so was Isabella. Who cares he's an 8th ed lord and he has the "lost but never confrimed kill" bullshit line like Grom the Paunch. Manlet was dead too but canonically raised back from the dead.

I find that with SFO I consistently get the greenskins to conquer the dwarves and control the badlands in its entirety. the downside is you are facing stacks with 6-7 arachnaroks in them

Yeah I had this problem too. I thought YEAH COME GREENSKINS. In my 2 of 4 Empire Campagins I always had some army near black fire pass. Grimgor was only coming near Pass sometimes. He was just standing and looking at me for 1-3 turns then he was going back to kicking Dwarfs.

Azhag died in 2512. The usual 'present day' date for Warhammer is ~2522.
The beginning of the Empire campaign mentions that Karl Franz has just acceded to the throne, which would make the campaign start date 2502.
Now, that does mean a lot of other stuff is fucked up. In 2502 Thyrus Gormann is the Supreme Patriarch, not Balthasar Gelt, Marius Leitdorf shouldn't be the Elector Count of Averland and similar.

But still, 10 years isn't so much when it comes to the pace of the grand campaign. 800 years is a little more substantial.

>>175807375
Shhh. Be quiet and gimme Gorbad. Also Repanse.

>>175806153
but I'm gonna play as Orion for the elf mini-campaign anyway so might be nice to save him till then.

Azhag is the only confirmed dead one. If anyone killed Gorbad they would brag the shit outta it, especially the dorfs

>>175808224
Vlad and Isabella are very confirmed dead.

>>175808224
Fuck man, Gorbad should have been the faction leader.

Don't you bring up End Times material. Or Storm of Chaos either.

Probably a stupid question but does unit size take more cpu or gpu? I used warhammer recommended settings and it set it to ultra, but that geforce program changed it to medium.

>>175809172
Some of it is neat. Selectively.
Settra has a nice run of The End Times.

Grimgor is a fucking superstar for representing their audience fucking up GW's Chaos wankfest railroad.

Don't trust auto sets. On my rig programs or games many times "auto detected" some mid-high settings when I run almost every game on ultra. Best way is just to choose some settings and then go to the custom battle and check how it runs.

>>175809604
Mannlet is the one who told the empire about the ring in the first place, if he was capable of doing it with out them giving the order, he would have.

Attila

>>175810840
I dislike the setting. Romans really ugly.

This game makes no sense without some kind of population mechanic. I hate when Im owning as dwarfs and I am just swarming greenskins with troops. Any mods that add this?

I'm fucking confused.

First battle with Orion in it, and he doesn't seem to use the bow on his back for ranged attacks?

Is it just for show or something?

Can he actually use that bow?

>>175810684
I think so

flaming attacks on Durthu so he can burn the traitor treemen to ashes

>>175810406

he doesn't use a bow, he throws javelins that behave the same way as bolt-thrower projectiles

>>175812098
He throws huge javelins
They're great

Ancestor of the modern cow, they died out in 1627

>>175800857
Pro tip; if you're EVER fighting dwarfs or vampires you must bring a good single target magic ability

>>175801217
I love how if you conquer everything in Attila, the game just dies on itself.

It would be hilarious if once you took everything a new faction spawned that was basically just lines of broken code, who used units from all armies and went on a rampage liberating everything

Why does he have a bow on his back then?

What's the fucking point?

Is the bow not what he uses for ranged attacks on tabletop?

Don't talk to me or my ancestors ever again umgi

>>175812704
you only need single target magic vs angrund for the ghost characters, against all other lords/characters it is much less effective due to the 25% magic resist (40% if vs a runelord on an anvil of doom)

>>175812921
A E S T H E T I C S

probably also to differentiate him from the regular glade lords and because he is a beastman
