It's nice to give the northern provinces a chance to develop before chaos comes to kick them in the dick.

Also not mentioned by the anon that made the first post is that chaos gets delayed slightly and buffed pretty hard.

This was my first game with that mod setup
And it was only on hard

Just got to that part myself. First time playing with the mod (and first time on hard). Looks like your Sigvald also fucked off somewhere. Mine's lagging like 3 turns behind Archaon and seems to want to go in a completely different direction (for some reason Archy is taking his 5 stacks into the mountains, completely sidestepping me after I failed to defend Kislev, no idea why, since everything north of Zhufbar was razed).

Also, it seems autoresolve is fucked in fights against chaos.

Because the only other Lizardman LLs to choose from would be Tetoekko and Ten-in-one, one of which would effectively be a gimped slann and better as a FLC lord, the other would probably get the skarsnik treatment with skills balanced around skinks and turned into a horde that could settle ruins.

>>176032480
Nah Krok-Gar has a pretty notable spear and gauntlet, they'll probably just allow you to mount Old Bloods and Scar vets on a carnosaur of a different color. Still not all that much work since they can all use the same skeletons and animations.

Instead of just razing Vlad to the ground immediately, I felt I should head back to Norsca, where it all began, and start over. Maybe this time I'll keep my sanity, I thought. Not likely, it turns out.

I sent out my agents to get a picture of what the rest of the Old World looked like, while Archaon raided up to Kislev. Pic is the result: Bretonnia and Bordeleaux have taken over the northern Empire, Mannlet holds a surprising amount of territory, and ITALIA HAS GRUNBERG NOW. The Empire is holding on by a thread, the Dawi are inches from annihilation, and the Greenskins have all but won the Badlands Bowl (either Grimgor and Wurrzag will confed or fight, I don't know which). The elves are skulking around south somewhere, and while it isn't shown the Border Princes have essentially kicked Italia out of their homes (which explains that northern aggression).

Fucking asinine mortals, indeed. At least this is gonna be a really nice change of pace.

yeah thats exactly the same as an in-game model, portrait with abilities and everything else that LLs got when they were announced. It's no more an announcement than sayign the rat at the end of the trailer was announcing skaven with thanquol and queek lls, the number of autistic fucks in this general is unbeleivable.

>>176038680
Is their anything they could take inspiration from the previous games and put into the game proper for maximum skaven backstabbyness for both the player and the AI?

>>176038149
I just realized they probably will make a lizard/skaven legendary lord DLC. That'd be the first DLC I wouldnt buy because I don't care about either race.

I've been such a good goy though..it feels weird to have a warhammer release where I dont give them any shekels

>>176038868
You're the one splitting hairs over your personal definition of 'announcement', so you really have no place to call anybody else here autistic.

>>176038868
the whole point of the original complaint in the thread is that the second LL was announced without fanfare you berk

>>176038898

Adding trading partners does net you more income, but the income you get from it per trade partner is negligible, it can help and it's a helpful step towards improving your relations with a faction with out cheesing agents though, also it improves with the more resources you own that the trading faction doesn't.

sorry forgot to answer, honestly i would go with Beasmemes, i love nature aesthetic races but Wood Elves honestly have really tedious and unfun system, your main cities rebel all game long and you can't do shit about it + your settlements are tier 1 outposts that can be destroyed by like 6-unit stack.
Go with Beastmen and have fun, Wood Elves, as nice looking as they are, are just a pain in the ass and unfun to play imo.

Still far superior for assassinating enemy lords/knights etc

>>176044805
Alberic might not be as fighty as Louen, but Bret paladins and lords are pretty fighty, Biggest problem with Al is he starts automaticly at war with mousillon so between the orc incursions and that you're stuck on the defensive, but I'm pretty shit at strat and tactics so that's just me.

Flaming arrows deal morale damage and so are good for trying to shake the enemy. However they are not as accurate and therefore they lack as much killing power as regular arrows. I am not sure if flaming arrows stack otherwise I would reccomend trying to mix up your archers. Also as >>176033908 said they look cool.

>>176033893
Do you have Steel Faith? I've noticed that with Steel Faith AI armies are actually trying to travel across the map to fight enemies which is nice.

talking about Attila, half of unit upgrades are either much less cost efficient or straight up worse than their predecessors, and you are unable to recruit the old ones once you unlock the tech

>>176051989
>early game units are rendered completely useless late-game
Worse offender desu, armies never consisted of elite-only troops, yet in any TW game its too easy to do so.

>>176051724
If kurt is ever added he is probably going to get the Green Knight treatment honestly.

>>176051724
>best cavalry is quickly replaced by some fucking chicken knights
That also reminds me that Blazing Knights, despite being a T5 unit, are also replaced by demis.

>>176052270
Attila was probably the most fucked up Total War game. Unlike Empire or Rome 2 it actually had a ton of great features from the start, but the multitude of flaws baked-in to the game make it frustrating to this day.

Yeah ok it seem im not a true understander but FUCK vh/vh . Its not fun,its not a challenge. Its jus fucking bs. Heres your army of elite units who cant hold a line for a second cos they rout when someone looks at them roughly....this is just hdhndffsdclllgggv AAAAARGH... but the enemy? Oh the enemy fucking tier 1 units ? They fight to the death. Heres your gobboes coming back from routing with 10 units...this.....i just cant

>>176052603
yes, although i still think it's the best historical TW, because of how smooth battle controls are and the general pace of battles (faster than Rome 2, slower than Shogun 2/WH)

>>176052638
dude VH is like +7 morale and melee attack for AI, it's nearly irrelevant after early game

>>176053014
>morale irrelevant ever
-7 leadership is a BIG deal
Anon, please leave the thread

>>176053162
>-7 leadership is a BIG deal
early game yes, but mid and late game your armies have much more powerful troops than the AI anyways

if you lose with elite units to tier 1 trash, you are doing something very, very wrong

>>176053162
-7 is a big deal
lmfao go back to civ 5 noob

>>176053014
Well maybe im just shit but i just cant fking win. My lines just dont hold for a minute that i could do any flanking and my top tier units just cant seem to do anything. Lords are all top tier and in the fight with heroes and buffs and all but no.. lines clash 10 seconds later..SIGMAR PRESERV US!!! All around with 0-10 kills

>>176053319
>much more powerful
not always, also legendary has -10 debuff while enemies have +10.
This means if Vlad fights with Mannfred with exactly the same army. One will lose because his army will disintegrate into shit while the other one is unbreakable powerhouse.
It makes a difference anon

>>176053327
>lmfao

>>176053396
are you getting proper charges?
also, what top tiers units do you mean? even with legendary AI bonuses, greatsword will always beat swordsmen/spearmen in a straight fight with barely any troubles
>>176053327
>>176053676
as i said, those bonuses are relevant only in early game
mid and late game, you will have armies with full grave guard lines benefiting from properly built lords, while the AI will still spam shitty zombies and skeletons and put random points on their lords

>>176044204
Black Caesar
>He apparently had a harem on his island, having at least 100 women seized from passing ships, as well as a prison camp which he kept prisoners in stone huts hoping to ransom them. When leaving the island to go on raids, he left no provisions for these prisoners and many eventually starved to death. A few children reportedly escaped captivity, subsisting on berries and shellfish, and formed their own language and customs. This society of lost children give rise to native superstition that the island is haunted.
Neat.

Maybe the swordsmen intterrupt the charge of greats but still anyway you put them they melt...just had a fight with the true chaos of welfs who just had fking 3 dragons clash to boris while focus fired and got swamped with halbediers and reinforcing spears and quess what?...they routed...like 20 sec eweryone was running. Shielded frontline took like 10 sec of fire and ran. Cav didnt get even close to their archers before they ran. Just feels like the Ai just walks over me and i have no chance to do anything

I'm a vanillafag, so my advice might not be totally applicable. That being said, flagellants a tarpit unit which can tear through unarmored enemies. They're also notably faster than every other human infantry unit (I'm almost certain it's the case in vanilla), so you can use them to chase down ranged units.

To distract you from posting the inevitable skaven and lizardmen porn that seems to getting popular around here

>>176069998
They use maces, though. I was always under the assumption they were anti-armor.

It's obvious that Skaven will be in the game, but would you rather they eventually got shown or a trailer, or that little to no information about them is ever shown or revealed till launch, letting people surprise and learn everything about them for themselves?

REIKSGUARD, KNIGHTS!

>>176071405
Nah, they have piss poor AP damage. Their regular damage is off the charts relative to when they're available however.

Yes, alsto to tie ranged units and chase off routed infantry.

Watching demigryphs send decapitated chaos warriors fucking flying in every direction is like porn to me.

Calling it now, Delfs will get retextured beastmen harpies as their sole ariel unit.

Hmm...

How do I get a good start (VH) as Brettonia? Public order, Marienburg, and greenskins are killing me

>>176073578
kill orcs immediately and then wait out 30-40 turns until you can confederate

>Middenland and Hochland have been at war for several turns before I bother intervening
>Boris and Aldebrand have effectively swapped province ownership
How strange
