both are worth playing, Attila is a bit of a downgrade in terms of setting but it offers more engrossing gameplay with the ability to raze settlements, towns deteriorating as they're sieged, family trees, etc. I also think the general UI and display is much cleaner and intuitive. that being said there is more civil management than R2 in terms of city sanitation/fertility/public order, especially if you want to play larger empires

Rise of the samurai can be fucking impossible.

Had a war domino effect where every clan declared war on me when I only had 4 provinces, included the two main factions who are meant to be fighting each other.

If I actually break free and conquer shit these are the rich lands I'll end up owning...

I think it's also the reason I've been able to start a rebellion in each province every turn

I dont enjoy the Shogun II campaign. FotS campaign is fun though, but base game campaign is sort of infuriating.

>take a couple of provinces so that Im strong enough to survive and to have a decent chance to become Shogun
>people keep declaring war on me because mad jelly
>when I retaliate, I'm suddenly the bad guy and the cunt in Kyoto declares me a public menace.

This has happened thrice out of my four attempts to do this campaign.

Do I just need to blitzkrieg to Kyoto and hope for the best?

Bret's are cavalry-focused and have different campaign mechanics. Empire's more well rounded
In my opinion, Beastmen>Wood Elves>Chaos
>>
>>180607120
yes, if you take kyoto you can avoid that kind of stuff since all the clans will respect your authority as shogun
>>
>>180606952
Bretonnia is focused on shitty peasant infantry and god-tier knight cavalry. They have no gunpowder units either.

Empire is the most versatile faction since they have decent infantry, artillery, and cavalry, but they don't really excel at anything.
>>
>>180606952
Empire makes use of a lot of gunpowder and artillery and has fairly decent infantry, overall pretty balanced

Basically everything about Bretonnia is shit tier except for their cav which easily wrecks shop.
>>
>>180606952
Pirate it all
>>
>>180606952
Empire: Balanced renaissance forces with guns, artillery and central map position.

Brettonia: Feudal Knights with flying cavalry and peasant infantry. isolated and safer western starting position. Most recent faction so they have some updates that the empire dont.

Oh, the way the victory condition is stated it makes it sound like you have to gain kyoto and all the other provinces(like ten or twelve others I think) as prerequisites to becoming Shogun. Here I was taking all the other provinces first and then racing against time to raise a big enough force to take down the Shogun.

Aka, I thought becoming shogun was auto-victory condition, not a state of being.

I'll try the campaign again. Thanks.

What in terms of pure gameplay features has been confirmed for TW2 so far? I know there's gate battles, what else?
>>
>>180606952
Chaos have cool units but a shit campaign.
Elves are skirmish focused with parthian shot, most micro heavy faction beside brettonia. Decent mini campaign
Beastmen are charge heavy with vanguard options and minotaurs to crash through lines. Good campaign mechanics, mini campaign a bit bare bones but still good.
>>180607205 is right
Beastmen>Wood Elves>Chaos

After playing a bit of TW:W it's a shame that Dark Omen killed the videogame tabletop recreation for Warhammer really isn't it.

Since Dark Omen was such a piece of shit we never got any more Warhammer tabletop sims, and those could've been damn good. Shadow of the Horned Rat would've been great if it wasn't so terribly balanced and had terrible controls. Imagine a series of polished games like that using predominantly tabletop rules with online matchmaking. Could've happened.

Also more XCOM 40k. They should've done that too. Chaos Gate was underrated.

Take the top right province on the far left island and recruit bows from there and rape everything. There's a number of provinces before the realm divide, before you hit that, build your economy, position and rebuild your armies to autistic perfection and have at hit.

That's what I just did in my Bret campaign. Started razing when chaos first arrived. Burned down 5 or 6 settlements before I had to go back to rebuild my forces. Lost around 18 troops out of 70. My next expedition will go on all the way to the errantry war quest site.

I'm using that map replacer and its really good. Only had one bad settlement map out of 3. And that was just because of bad spawns.

So, I just got Warhams a n hour ago or so. Only palyed three custom matches against normal AI.

First off: Where the fuck are formations? I want to put my cavalry into a wedge, I want to put my infantry in blocks of missiles first, swords second spears rear.

Second, I like that they included firing arcs for artillery. Helps visualize where you need to place your arty for max effectiveness much easier.

Thirdly, magic is fucking wonky. I dont understand it yet.

Also, why are there no actions for units to take? For example, why cant I form a shield wall with Empire Spearmen?

Another thing. I actually like the new General and Heroes system. All the items and powers you can give to your generals make them unique.

Overall, it's okay I guess.
But where are the fucking naval battles.

Pic was first match I played. I didnt know what was going on and I thought I was losing. Still getting used to the UI changes(they're subtle, but they're there. Mainly how it keeps track of unit health/numbers)

Orcs without their DLC units are pretty gimped, base goblin archers are better than arrer boyz, use those boyz to protect the flanks of what ever goblin archers you're using, their savage versions may even be preferable to the normal ones due to frenzy, doom divers are a must abd trolls and giants can be useful, black orcs are one of if not the best orc units you can get so they should be worth their cost and never under estimate a shaman with foot of gork.
>>

Oh boy.

>First off: Where the fuck are formations? I want to put my cavalry into a wedge, I want to put my infantry in blocks of missiles first, swords second spears rear.

Formations are kaput, save for the Bretonnian's cav wedge. You have to mod it in.

>Second, I like that they included firing arcs for artillery. Helps visualize where you need to place your arty for max effectiveness much easier.

oh god me too i use the area of effect alt fire in mass melee blobs and i love it

>Thirdly, magic is fucking wonky. I dont understand it yet.

I would need to dedicate one or two more full posts to help you out with this. Suffice to say you should read up on it, because magic can and will decide games. You've got shit that will debuff your enemy so hard they can't fight back, buff spells that make your tier 1 troops fight equal with tier 3 momentarily, direct damage spells of all flavors that obliterate units and disrupt formations, and Lore of Life/Vampires gives living/undead troops the capacity to regen HP or even resurrect dead troops.

The basic breakdown of the Winds of Magic in vanilla is this: you have a pool of mana you cast from, up to 30 stored charges; try to wait as long as possible and fill out the pool before you start casting. This is because there is a secondary pool, called the power reserve. This pool dictates how fast your main mana pool regens, but is also depleted by an equal amount every cast, i.e. you eventually run out. This is only scratching the surface of magic: go study up on it now.

>Also, why are there no actions for units to take? For example, why cant I form a shield wall with Empire Spearmen?

See point 1.

>Overall, it's okay I guess.
>But where are the fucking naval battles.

It's because both factions start the game with several ports. It'll take a long time to bleed then dry if you don't go for full annihilation.

Sometimes I like to destroy one of their southern harbors and keep a cheap army in ambush stance nearby to catch out whatever stack comes to resettle it.

yes, but if you don't like guns or line warfare then why bother.

What is the best course of action to take when playing as the Empire? I feel like I've fucked myself up a little by confederating with Talabecland and conquering Ostermark shortly afterwards (which I did after Stirland called me in). Now I've got Gobbos to the south who have already sacked a settlment in Reikland while Franz was off taking Ostermark and I'm feeling a tad bit overstretched as I can barely afford two full stacks.

>>180625208
So you mean I should conquer the other Imperial provinces and not confederate?
>>
>>180625419
Yes, it also helps with quests so you won't get cockblocked by military access.

I don't invade Nordland though, they're a good buffer state and in most of my runs they build a decent stack to cockblock Chaos from sneakily dropping troops in the Wasteland.

>defending is an auto-win, attacking an auto-lose
attacking isn't auto lose, its very easy to win battles in fots.
>naval battles are impossible
naval battles are very fun, but you really need to get techs before the AI. its okay because the AI usually doesn't get them till mid way.
>artillery has no counter and can reach your whole deployment zone from the start of the battle
counter to artillery is artillery, also ambush horse troops. its worth absorbing some loses with some infantry to give the horses a chance to get in an waste artillery.
>Sieges are an auto-lose for the attacker unless you besiege for 6 turns to starve them out
again artillery, shoot them off the walls.
>bows out range guns
Sharpshooters, cannons
>AI agent spams/money cheats like crazy
yes, valid point
diplo is pretty bad too with very friendly clans declaring war out of nowhere.
>the whole bombardment mechanic
if you get knocked out of the ocean you're fucked since you lose your ports to bombardment. you almost have to fight every naval battle and abuse the repair button. also using navies to blockade choke points. to protect your land. but yeah too much stuff was too easy to bombard.


but other than that it sounds like you just hate the game because you're bad at the game.

I'm actually save scumming a legendary game, only because I had just made a copy of the file since it was the furthest i've gotten in legendary as tosa. and I kid you not, 3 turns after i made that save, it was pretty much campaign over, it was a bad omen.
It was my sixth attempt this week and i had finally gotten to the half way point

I love playing them on the battlefield even with the more base units. But when im on the campaign map i just dont know what i want to do.

Am i supposed to sit around and do nothing for the first half of the game and get my amber though diplomacy? Should i hold off upgrading the tree of life and spend them on the techs instead? Once i get rolling im sure ill be fine. But its what i do in the first 30-50 turns or so that im kinda unsure on.

Artillery ships really made coastal sieges a cakewalk though. I hope that with the next historical title (if they bring back coastal sieges at all) that they balance it so that the defenders have -some- way to strike back at coastal attackers other than just huddling up out of range of their artillery, because unless you had a very artillery focused garrison army chances are you're just gonna get bombarded to a pulp the whole battle.

As Beastmen rush for minotaurs, then fill out your army with them. When you get a choice of a free hero a few turns in choose Gorebull. Your income will be in the red, but you will be able to beat almost anyone with this army comp until midgame. Later get some minos with 2h weapons, the hound building (you will need poison hounds for Khazrak's quest) and the bray shaman building (you will need to recruit one for a quest). After that you can go mound of blades and then pile of flesh, then upgrade all buildings except the pile and finish with the desecrated altar.

Flying mounts obviously allow the lord to move much faster and also flank enemies as they can fly behind their flank. It also allows them to fight flying units with melee. Better mounts basically just add health and attack power iirc and can also change movement/attack speed.

Also something to consider for certain lords is that getting them a mount at all (basic horse and beyond) turns them into a large unit, which means they can get their shit rekt by any anti-large units afterwards. Still worth it for the boost to speed alone IMO but if some lone shitty spear units manage to kill your general when you're not looking that's why.

The war against the sassanids continues - they have had 3 full stacks encamped between amida and Edessa for a while now, and in order to not risk losing a minor settlement I have had to form a sort of conga line, with reinforcements from Dacia finally allowing me to break the stalemate and push deeper into enemy territory. There used to be more Sassanid armies encamped in their little pow-wow, but they tried attacking amida and got btfo (>>180607034).

The 2 armies marked w/ red are my "guard legions", the Herculia and Iovia, which are the only armies that have Herculiani Seniores instead of Legio Comitatenses, and Scholae Palatinae instead of Equites Promoti. One is led by my faction heir, and the other is led by his brother

The AI in TWW is way too skittish and tends to avoid battles that would be even/in the players favor, and really only like to attack when the odds are really in their favor.

No God specific units because they haven't finished the game, when they do you will have them, at the moment we have mods but it's just colour changes on warriors and red beastmen for bloodletters.

The smaller provinces are just pushovers that their territories are much more suited to shit out resources for your army but keeping a few of them as shields for the anal reaming in the end

Not on Very hard - Legendary. Going as King of Bretonnia its literally impossible to even start (due to human and orc invasions) and, by the time things start to look somewhat good, Chaos is already invading and the Empire is so borderline useless they cant stop them for shit.

On top of that you have to fight the Vampire cunts, whose castles are literally impossible to besiege due to attrition.

Bretonnia is hell.

I settled Crimea as the Alamans once and once the Sassys eventually declare war you can bottleneck them really easily in the Caucasus.

My ass it does, them charging more for each pack of units than they did for the previous setting is the only reason it supposedly makes more money.

I have yet to see a single event dedicated towards Age of Smegma. Whereas people still regularly run battles at the TT events I attend. Fuck off with your PR bullshit speak.

What do folks think about ranged general units in Attila and Rome 2?

I tend to go for the simple idea of the toughest unit type the better, with a nod to mounts for movement speed to go where needed. However since I always avoid using them in melee but as a last resort, I've been considering the value of using a ranged unit (normally mounted bows) when available, so that way they can at least participate without undue risk.

Thoughts?

My favorite Vassalisation in TWW has always been vassalizing the Zhufbar dwarfs as vampires in exchange for saving them from being wiped out from greenskins.

It was terrific having them at my back for 50-something turns so I could build myself up. Since their holds are wasted space to me anyway it was a nice arrangement. I even avoided spreading much Vamp Corruption there and sent them some gold every few turns to keep them happy.
>>
>>180647837

Ranged units are necessary only early game, most melee infantry comes with javelins.

Unless your faction has elite ranged units like sareanids and huns there's no point to them

I was just thinking that elves has to function on a completely different basis than humans. For example, they have a great advantage of having no elderly people but they risk overpopulation since nobody dies of old age ever. That means Hitler tier legislation for reproduction and/or political scheming to trim down population (i.e. massive warfare). That all is applicable only to high elves, however since, both asrai and druchi are homicidal and prefer violent death to anything.

Another thing is how delves function and I think they are not that bad from the moral standpoint, since if we compare chaos influence on minds to even unlimited access to web with no restrictions, plus centuries of exposure, plus life among people like this, plus everyday risk of getting shanked by your acquaintance so each day is like the last, one would expect them to be much worse than they are. Malekith/Morathi relationships is basically an entry tier vanilla stuff to what they should be into really.

It's debateable with T-rex, more so since there was an ancestral species that was similar in size and was mostly covered in feathers, the general consensus is since we have small patches of skin impressions it's thought that if T-rex had feathers it was more or less on his back sort of like a weird cape

That will trigger everyone declaring war on you after 4 turns, but it can work if you wipe out enough factions in the 4 turns before being declared Shogun.

Best tactic for winning a shogun 2 campaign is focusing on trade & developing a core of 10 or so provinces for max economy. Trade is good because having 9 trade ships on every trade node increases your strength ranking whilst giving you more economic boost and so it stops factions from declaring war on you.

You can win Shogun 2 even with a shit economy though just because siege defence is so powerful, but you'll be playing a really frustrating campaign where every faction is at war with you and you can't even have a fucking navy because it gets instantly destroyed.

That only assumes the have children like we do.

Dwarfs I know only get pregnant about once a decade and only 1/10th of those born are girls. This means there are a lot of single dwarf men and the race, as a whole, is dying off due to attrition from all the fighting verses Greenskins and others.

Elves, one imagines, are probably an order of magnitude slower than dwarfs in reproduction.

For the same reason it's so popular in mythology *Atlantis, Tuatha Dé Danann, Shambhala etc).

It would explaing everything but it also clashes with an enending nature of war in warhammer. Delves and Helves have been fighting for a very long time and suffered countless casualties. Not to mention druchi live in a hazardous wasteland assaulted by horsefuckers on a daily basis, kill each other for social gains, launch murder squads all around the world and more. They could function like this for a while but not all the time obviously and there has been some time since the sundering had occurred. If they are not as fertile as humans one would assume they would apply chorfs tactics of using primarily slaves and mercenaries in combat.

To all the Total war warhammer players, what are your opinions on Outriders VS Handgunners VS Silverbullets/Stirlands revenge?

Trying to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the all and what they are good at. Feel like Handgunners are only useful for killing Flyers, Giants, and other large units and Cavalry. While I feel a bit confused about the Damage output of Outriders, their stats say they should be a murder machine but I feel they aren't as killy as I thought though I do appreciate their speed, and I have yet to know how to use Stirlands Revenge, Silver Bullets, and Free Company.

Handgunners against large targets, flyers, and flanking shots for armored/shielded units.
Stirland's Revenge is a unit of Handgunners that can hold up well in melee.
Silver Bullets are for anything with physical resistance BUT NOT magic resistance (DO NOT USE AGAINST DWARF)

Outriders are a shitty meme choice, much like Pistoliers. Do not use them ever.

People are forgetting that Warhammer & a lot of the newer titles did away with a lot of army strategy on the campaign map by removing the ability to split up your army.

You can't just send off a few regiments to deal with a minor threat because you need a general so you have to go there with your whole elite army or raise a newer shitter one

yeah but there's ways around that, get a lord and give him the blue skills that either boost provincial income or reduce army upkeep or both and you can have that small secondary garrison force that can put out fires and is always ready to quickly recruit if the front goes bad.

there's ways around army caps in warhammer and atilla/rome two, they were also very generous. and it helps prevent having to watch the ottoman empire shuffle around 200 units of mob, or having to deal with a million ships shogun 2 style.

Lombards are the most fun in my opinion, danes and westphalians are ok too, as far as tips, keep in mind that its much slower than Attila, and battles tend to be bigger scale too during the late game because of that, and Lombards can recruit a lot of units from vassals so vassalizing factions like Avars makes a lot of sense, and just try to have fun anon,

I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna play Napoleon.
I remember pirating Empire. It took a while to find one that wasn't Russian, took me a while to figure out how to do all of the bullshit hoop jumping for making shitty torrents work with missing .dlls and all that. Then I fire it up on my toaster and all of the units are sprites and it barely runs.

Now I have a real PC with enough cash to buy whatever game comes out and I can live my dream. Napoleon is just better Empire so I'll go with that.

I love the sounds of thousands of units shooting guns in Med 2 so I'm ready for this with artillery to boot.
I love skirmishing in TW. I've always heavily favored archers and I wish there was a reason to use velites in Rome 1 but there you go. One of my favorite units in all of TW has to be desert archers. Cheap to recruit, cheap to upkeep, long range, spamable.

Is there anything I need to know before starting?

Yes. Free Company Militia are fun as fuck. They're not end game but they're essentially hastati with more ammo. Take 2 on any army and you have really good flanking units if you're not bothering with cav. Plus auto-resolve favors them the most out of any TW unit in the world.

Pistoliers can be good. They're your fastest unit and flying units are squishy. I just prefer massive infantry lines to guard my archers and infantry missiles have more men, thus more missiles to hurl at the enemy. Sacrificing maneuverability for numbers.
But they're fun since they can also fight. Even 1 on 1 with swordsmen they'll win as you'll get 2 or 3 volleys off first, given that the rest of your army is doing work to lower their morale.

RoR are fun too if you want to spice up your army with some non-standard stuff and often, units you won't be able to recruit for a while like artillery.
Definitely one of the good DLCs in my book.

It's not that, it's just that the historical games were a lot more fun and the fantasy aspect ruins what the Total War series is (was) about, changing history. To me these games just feel like a distraction/waste of time from what the series is supposed to be.

Oh you talk a big game but you still crawl in the dirt for every EU shekel you can get your hands on because you know you can't hack it. You know that your people don't have what it takes to run a successful country without being artificially propped up.

Look at that chart again, you have so little pride in your own nation that you would rather be subsumed in an EU super state than maintain sovereignty.

And of course the primary reason you're not being flooded with kebab is that even kebabs are smart enough to travel towards countries that can actually support gibsmedats for them.
Not to say that you won't be eventually MADE to take the kebab, this idea you have that you can grub endlessly for EU dole and never reciprocate in any meaningful way is a fantasy.

Your people and your nation are a failure Jakub and you're doing NOTHING to salvage it.

You yourself are a prime example.

You're not helping dredge Poland out of a mire of shit it is wallowing in, instead you've fled because you know your country has no future. So you'd rather prop up the economy of another country than help your own.

Historically? Yes. In the actual game? No, because everyone and their grandma employs the tactic of "put a bunch of guys with ranged weapons in front of guys who are good at holding the line and have them run behind them for safety when the enemy gets close".

And, once again, cavalry tactics IRL were different, but it wouldn't make a difference in the actual game. The actual weapons and armor basically just mean heavy shock cavalry is no longer an option.

Okay I just don't get the Beastmen in Warhammer: Total war.

There is absolutely no final goal for them! You just sack, raze and hide in the bushes. That's it. There is a nonexistant economy, you just live off of raiding and once your enemies disappear you disappear as well since you will starve out sooner or later. So you always want to keep atleast some enemies alive. Where is the appeal on playing Beastmen? Because I see none.
>>
>>180674242
I dislike the flat bonuses as well. I've never even tried.
I guess I'm scared that I put so many hours into normal campaigns that I've figured the game out (any of them) and I don't want to upset that.
A quick example is the first 6 turns for Empire in TW:W. Nothing changes or deviates. I secure Reikland and siege Marineburg.

Pretty god damn close. The balance of power was 100% red. Probably could've gotten it had I micromanaged my eagles a little better but holy fuck, so many handgunners and crossbowmen. Over half his reinforcement army was crossbowman and handgunners as well so I might get a couple in melee but then the others would focus my eagles.

The Empire is a standard TW nation. Easy to learn but still having great units, especially the artillery. Artillery is good in this game.
The sound is great in this game and the collisions feel fantastic.

>A race that personifies chaos and random destruction doesn't have sensible and structured goals

Aren't you at least a bit familiar with the lore? Pretty much all the chaos races have the same goal - to wipe out everyone who's not tainted by chaos and turn the whole planet into a demon world, where their gods can actually do shit and grant them immortality, rewards and all that other cool shit. Maybe make the warlord a daemon lord or some shit. That's it. Their end goal is "I kill everyone I disagree with and god will reward me for it in the afterlife, when I inevitably die.".

I know what you're thinking, please don't make this about politics. We just had a dumb political argument.

But even the Chaosfactions make more sense, they atleast have their own "country." Same with Orcs and goblins.

Beastmen on the other hand are just pointless. There is no endgoal. Even the spreading of corruption is technically bad for you, since people will have trouble settling there and when you destroyed most of the old world you've practically genocided yourself.
>>
>>180674786
Your goal is to crash the world, with no survivors!

The entire existance of Beastmen revolves around destroying civilization
>>
>>180675036
It's one of many amazonian faction mods, but the one Im using is amazonia.pack

It's good, and the amazons aren't just cheese cake, the majority of the units are covered in armor.

It works in campaign too, but the general portraits are still that of Pontic men.

if you look up amazon in the steam workshop for Rome II, there's a surprising amount there.
>>
>>180675498
Normal is all I do.
And I get my fun out of optimizing every early move to snowball. A good example would be for a Europa Universalis game. I don't find it fun if I lose a war early on and actually have to give up territory and recover from it. It's lost time. I'd rather just start over and get it right because I have goals before I start the game.
In Total War it is fun to give the enemy heavy losses and still lose though, I'll give them that.
Also I usually feel pressured by the time limits of these games to get shit done.
I don't play MP at all if that explains anything.
>>
>>180675571
>you've practically genocided yourself.

There are places in the world where the population is literally only Beastmen.

As for their goal, it's like Chaos light. You're working towards the same goal as Chaos, you just war internally from within factions, rather than some exterior invading force.

Beastmen are not like other total war factions
they have no civilisation, they hate everything about it
they don't want to settle anywhere
they don't make plans for the future
they just want to shit on everything that's good and orderly in the world, because they're fucked up abominations of nature
It's easy to see why people don't like them, they lack a lot of potential that other factions have solely because they're railroaded into the destructive path from the moment they are born, being creatures of chaos
>>
>>180675267
>>180675464

Its not about creating an empire. Its rather that I'd like to be somwhat self sufficient. Atleast in Attila a big horde was very important and very valuable. You had multiple buildings to build, you had a small economy to sustain yourself with and so on. You may never conquered something and settled there, true. But atleast you had 5 or 6 hordes in the end which had different kind of values. Losing a certain one would be catastrophic for you. But you would still be able to put things right.

But here? It simply doesn't matter. You just raid and raid and raid and raid...
>>
>>180675571
Like I said in >>180675464, they are the PERSONIFICATION of chaos. They're the most "pure" chaos race out there. The rest basically use chaos as a tool. The chaos warriors use it as a means to get more power, chaos dorfs were saved from extinction by chaos, so they worship it out of respect and the skaven are just vicious little cunts, even though they're adorable.

The beastmen aren't like that. They don't have a pact with chaos, they don't choose chaos, they are literally born from chaos, they exist to serve chaos, their purpose in life is chaos, their entire existence is devoted to chaos. You getting the point or do I have to say the word "chaos" another 10 times? For all intents and purposes, they may as well just be lesser demons.

Small detail that some or most Beastmen are like that.

There are Beastmen in the world who get by just fine and even have their own civilizations. Like out in Ind, they have ancient cities and society, with laws and structure.

The Old World and other places just got fucked, because the Beastmen there are angry goats and cows and shit.

I'm going to copy something I posted on /tg/ the other day.
>The chaos gods enjoy the game. They select their champions and pit them against each other, rewarding them and cursing them at turns. They like destruction, but more than that, they enjoy irony. There is a reason their chosen champion is a fallen templar of Sigmar.

>Beastmen are their born servants. They have no choice but to serve - they are creatures of chaos heart and soul. The problem is that there's no fun in having a servant with no choice. The amusement lies in having mortals damn themselves of their own volition. So the beastmen are relegated to the facilitators of champions rather than champions themselves.

>The beastmen know this. That's why they're so bitter. They envy men their free will. They know they will always be the second, unloved son and that hatred twists up inside their black hearts and drives them to despoil and desecrate the works of men. They do not merely destroy like orcs do. They seek to ruin things forever - to shit on works of art and rape the purest maidens.

>They are the bullied become bullies. They're not proud barbarians, they're spiteful little shits like children who knock over sandcastles and pluck the wings off flies.
>That's why I like them, actually. They're almost sympathetic in their own way.

Actually, I just found another one that goes into further modifying the campaign, and giving a larger roster.

It's simply titled as Amazonia. By a guy called Melita.

>>180676397

But they do live in hordes or not? So they should atleast have some kind of organisation, to keep themselves fed and prosper in a way or am I wrong? That is not the case in Warhammer.

Even with those "raging beasts" I have to put up camps from time to time so they can replenish themselves. Are you telling me they are just sitting on the grass, scratching their goat asses until I tell them to move again? After 2 or 3 years or so?

We don't even know if the Monkey King was actually a monkey, let alone if he was a beastman. Just like the Dragon Emperor was probably not an actual dragon either.

>squires with bows and spear and shields

Pic related is a beastman camp. They don't have huts, they sleep on piles of furs around a fire.

They hunt, they rut, they drink, they clash horns and they make braying benedictions to their hideous gods by the wan light of the ghoulish moon. They live only to ensure that the light of civilisation will be snuffed out and that no stone will stand upon another.

Does playing as Attila boil down to trying to figure out the most efficient way burn everything down in order to maintain income and complete objectives?
>>
>>180677373
That's where beastmen like Khazrak come in. Every once in a while a single beastman will be particularly more cunning or brutal than the rest, and will manage to bring together a band of beastmen with the promise of loot, food and females. And also nice things to poo on. Which may or may not include said loot, food and females.

Until then, yeah, beastmen are pretty much sitting on the grass, scratching their asses, copiously pooping on random nice things because they're just that butthurt. Of course, they often gather in groups, but they're little more than just animal herds. All organization will be "alpha male > beta males > omega males (read: ungors)" style. They're little more than animals, which is why as soon as one of them is born slightly smarter, just enough to understand some tactics, they become an actual threat rather than just a nuisance.

Even if they are. There must be some sort of trade going on inbetween each other, there have to be smaller hunting parties or raiding parties. Somebody actually have to organise those camps and so on and so forth!

You can't put 1 million people no matter how stupid or animalistic together and expect it to just "work out." Even that "Alpha male>Beta male" thing is technically some sort of caste system who makes clear who has to do what in the horde or not? So they do have some sort of oganisation.

It's kind of like a communal thing. If you look at the descriptions of buildings in the horde, you'll see a bit how they work.

It really is just that, 1 million stupid people hiding in a forest waiting for the next raid.

Battles are varied, sieges suck, campaign management is simple.

If you enjoy the Warhammer Universe and Lore, you'll love this game, it's still a decent game otherwise.

The Empire faction in Warhammer will feel the most familiar to you, after that you can pick and choose factions that interest you to buy or expand upon. As they will still appear in your game as enemies without you buying the DLC

The sale lasts till the 5th of july, so you got some time.
