Dwarf guy here.
Should I try another Empire campaign? Or perhaps go for a Vampire campaign? I played one Vampire campaign and I don't think I like their principal mechanic.
The Orcs were all right, but I found their units to be pretty boring.
seems legit
>>180856885
I personally found empire to be pretty boring jack of all trades that allows you to pretty much do anything but doesnt do anything well. If you do play empire be ready for a big change in playstyle since the dwarves mainly just sat in front of their artillery.

I've always loved the aesthetic of the empire. Renaissance Germany is pretty cool. I think if I can take Nuln as fast as possible, I can make a save point there and try to make the Empire whole again.

Medieval needs an update first. Then we can revisit Imperialism again.

WW1 would make a shitty TW, Sega should give it to the ones who made CoH/DoW.
HOW can someone not be a fantasyfag while playing strategy games? Half if not most of them most mportant and the best games in this genre is either Sci-fi or fantasy.
>>180858684
You got it wrong kiddo. It is Warhammer which is nothing more than part of Total War franchise. Total War is the only living part of this universe

You can't relate to the Warhammer empire in the same way you can relate to the Roman Empire or the ancient Greeks. None of it means anything.
Who cares if you conquer some fantasy land with magic? I want to forge an even bigger Roman empire, or fend it off as a smaller state or whatever.
>>180860678
why do you relate to the roman empire you stupid fucking autist
>>180860678
By that reasoning you certainly can't relate with ancient romans or greeks
>>180860678
>you can relate to the Roman Empire or the ancient Greeks
>>180860678
Who gives a fuck about "relating" to the game? Warhammers setting is way more interesting and fresh - allowing for different gameplay elements to be explored which makes it superior. Only histfags could care more about "relating" than enjoyable gameplay.
>>180860995
>>180861001
It was a real human achievement that you get to emulate in video games, not some made up LITERAL autistic shit like Warhammer. (Really though, I can't think of anything that belongs to autists more than Warhammer, I am ashamed to have a video game of it in my library).

Warhammer is the product of the greatest culture on Earth on the greatest time period on Earth, whereas nothing is more autistic than Roman Empire whose most significant achievement was drinking water from lead pipes.
Pre-Empire Sigmar campaign when?
>>180861316
>It was a real human achievement that you get to emulate in video games,
thats prime time autism, who fucking cares about emulating what actually happened you fucking sperg. first off thats some model train set tier autism, secondly its not like the game is accurate enough to actually maintain that illusion rather than getting frustrated at the ai incompetence and constant treason and obsession with killing you at all costs. You're not emulating shit and why would you want to be. You already know the outcome why would you give a fuck. Do you literally not play any video games at all because they arent real human achievements? The roman empire isnt your fucking dad man there's nothing to relate to. You care about the conquest because you're fucking doing it and you're overcoming a challenge to win, thats the point of video games. Kill yourself man

Y'all niggas need to calm the fuck down. We're hitting Sonic the Hedgehog grade autism

Need to post that you are fucking autistic.
Here you can relate to my image.
>>180862510
I wasn't talking about roleplaying agamemnon, I was merely stating that history was what this franchise was all about, I couldn't care less about fantasy strategy games, there will never be a game like total war again now, whereas someone else could have easily made a game like TW warhammer

Tell me, if you came to the series before Warhammer, what made you want to play it and why did you enjoy it?

Are you being facetious? I thought this was just a meme from the dumbass 3rd worlders who love to start shit and can't fucking read. How the hell is there going to
>never be a game like total war again
Or that history is over? They are literally working on a brand new historical title in an explored era, an expansion/focused title a la Attila/Fall of the samurai/Napoopan, a campaign pack for a historical title and various dlcs for Attila
Stop your fucking doomsaying and most of all stop shitting up the damn thread with this fake fucking divide
And yeah, you are fucking autistic
First heroic victory, settlment map mods are fun except when the forests hide the enemy not that far away rendering artillery moot

>>180863840
I liked RTS games. Period. Didn't give a shit about the timeline aspect or anything like that. I've been playing RTS games all my life from Age of Empires to Starcraft to Warlords Battlecry to Homeworld. Total war had really big fucking battles so I got it

>>180863996
What unit mods do you have running?
>>180863840
I liked the gameplay and scale. The setting was always a side bonus. Like with any game. Yes, setting makes the difference when you decide what TW you want to play at the moment, but whatever your choice is, you always end up playing a TW game.
>>180860678

I prefer lord of the rings but warhammer seems okay, i just like killing orcs

I didn't say that though, at least not before, I was lamenting the change in the direction franchise.
And fair enough, I didn't know there was another historical game in the making, otherwise I wouldn't have posted.
See CA, this is what happens when you don't give us any STUFF: we start shitposting.

Should i buy warhammer if i don't plan on buying any dlc and warhammer 2 for the time being
>>180864187
This desu. Lorefags that cry the lore isn't implemented with 100% accuracy in total war are just as bad as the historyfags.
Not saying the game is perfect but magic or chaos being much more powerful is not the way to fix the flaws.
>>180865149
On one hand I'm glad it was earnest concern but on the other I find it really disturbing that the people who seem to be the most invested in what CA is doing and keep lamenting the death of Total War are the ones who miss literally every announcement and think nothing is happening
>>180865448
Okay, i can buy a few dlc on a second thought
which ones are the most important? I don't want to do the shit i did with rome 2 where i bought every DLC and end playing just campaigns with rome, carthage, arverni and other major factions
>>180865448
The four base game factions all got new units and Regiments of Renown in DLC
You can't recruit them in vanilla, but the AI will do that a lot
>>180865262
Because muh Spess Muhreens is all about capeshit in space, which is exactly why 40k outsold Fantasy by a ridiculous amount and why we can't have nice things once this TW series is done.
Goblin Dabbing
>>180865262
I really really don't think any sci-fi setting would adapt well to a Total War game.
>>180865448
no just pirate it then
>>180865347
>>180865605
The last announcement I knew about was that of TWWH2 and just assumed they would be doing fantasy from now on.
>>180865697
But i don't like pirating total war games because usually patches fix performance issues, if i recall correctly pirated rome 2 had a patch version that runs like shit performance wise
>>180865448
It's all still in the game as enemies because it gets patched in when it releases so you could buy the game and decide on what you see to buy DLC later. Only exception is a portion of the Chaos roster which only appears if you own it, otherwise it's just Archaon and his merry men. Either way it's cheap now, and you can always wait for a sale on the DLC later.
>>180865624
Personal opinion mostly, but the best regarded is King & Warlord. Likewise Grim & Grave is nice for adding more shit to Empire/Vampire Counts but isn't as good as K&W. I like both new races as well, but of the two, Wood Elves has more content. Beastmen have a very enjoyable campaign to some, but hordes aren't for everything. Of the two hordes, Beastmen is the far better one however.
>>180865624
King and the warlord and wood elves are the ones I rate the highest myself.
Just don't get wariots of chaos if you're low on money, the others all had their value for me.
>>180865347
>>180865695
i don't know man, new ip?
fuck star wars.
Alien vs Pedator?
Humans vs Predator with horde aliens?
Dune? They had enough factions there for TW.

Gonna play Belegar for the first time. Should i go right for Karak? Or would it make things easier to maybe get some of the local land around me first. If it changes anything im casual scum playing on normal.
>>180865661
Is there a no limit mod for Regiments of Renown?
Okay that's bullshit.
>Play Beastmen, any second I get the short campaign victory.
>Nope, Bretonnian assholes get on ships and sail to the other end of the map.
>I now run after them like an idiot.
What the fuck is this shit?
>>180862330
Not him but I started with medieval 1 and I enjoy pretty much the whole franchise including fantasy. I don't get why people need to make literally everything an us vs them kind of thing.
>>180866370
But why. You'll not only make your own campaign rubbish because you can an entire stack instantly, every single enemy stack will be nothing but purple too.
>>180866136
Better than an autist I suppose
>people saying Bretonnia's peasants don't revolt
Learn your lore faggot nobles.
>>180866869
These guys would make better archers than peasant shits.
Bretonnia needs Robin Hood archers, catapults and ballistae.
>>180866549
It's mostly the same old few trying to start shit. During E3 there was some friendly crossbanter with /mbg/and shitting on /gsg/where there was this little rollcall of the 'old guard'. Evveryone who'd been around since the early days of even pre-/vg/ either liked both, or was just glad Total War was still going except for one. When I as one of those who even pointed out that Total War games were a draw to people who also play/played tabletop games due to their relative similarity I got called a fucking tragedy by what is probably the angriest lad in this general that comes and goes. Who then also admitted he'd only been visiting /twg/ since a few months before Warhammer released but also only then started playing with Attila.
There is no real us vs them, it's just bullshit that occasionally flares up. Usually at the same fucking time of the day every time.Must be a coincidence.

>>180868129
Catapults for decimating clumps of units.
Ballista for anti-large, can't swap them for multiple bolts so that High Elves can keep their Eagle Bolt Thrower.
Trebuchet as basic artillery.
Holy shit, I bought Atilla in last year's summer Steam sale and completely forgot about it, so time to fire this bitch up!
>Start as ERR.
>Jesus, they really give you a ton of garrison troops, don't they? OH WAIT, IS THAT BECAUSE SOMEONE FORGOT TO PUT GATES ON THIS FUCKING TOWN?
Why aren't the Lahmia vampires not a sub-faction? They could have special OP agents that get one-shotted by Witch Hunters or Paladins.
The idea of having minor control in most Empire and Bretonnian kingdoms while shitting on Von Carsteins is very interesting.
>>180869571
Too busy whoring to actually get shit done beyond sniffing their own undead butts all day.
>>180869571
If Lahmians get added they'll probably come alongside Lybaras subfaction for tomb kangz.
>>180869430
Who are you quoting
>>180869571
Ah yes... more Vampire Counts contents.... ho ho ho, very good, very good...
>>180869307
That doesn't make much sense though as trebuchets got a much heavier payload than catapults, they're essentially vastly superior to them in every way but mobility, complexity to build and less accurate at very short ranges.
Ballistae as anti large I can see working though.
I did it /twg/ I won the short and long campaign as Beastmen! The whole map turned into one big world of corrupted wasteland.

>>180870659

I guess it's a way to spend time. It wasn't horrible, even if it wasn't something too special either. And for 5 bucks, sure. Just take into consideration it's got literally no replay value at all.

You get to play a boring QTE action game that tries to be God of War. You're wearing ahistorical fantasy armor and the barbarians you're fighting look like stock-standard ren faire "vikings" that old biker men dress up as because their Tolkien loving wives dragged them out.

If I play Volkmar, is it viable to just run around with Flagellants and a Warrior Priest or two?
I remember that was a pretty cheesy thing to do a few years ago on the tabletop. Can I do that for one of my doom stacks?
>>180871447
Hm, doubt that would be a good idea in a total war game. That would mean you are very vulnerable against cavalry, flying units and even skirmishing archers.
>Nagash still not announced

>>180872881
What's the dollar value of the miniatures and paints on display in that image?

>>180872684
Where do these images come from?
>>180872595
So then what if I use the Flagellants for my body of infantry, and instead also use some cavalry and artillery? I might also look to getting guns for archers by taking Nuln

They have banners in previous Total War games and I always thought every unit having a banner and a musician was important to WarhammerEven fucking Mark of Chaos had that shit

>>180873429
They have their uses in the Table Top game but they weren't necessary for any unit and I don't expect them to implement musicians either, just banners.
>tfw you are the most popular kid in school
>>180873548
I've done this army before. Don't bother with warrior priests, witch hunters and an Amber wizard will round your army out much better. Cannons are a must, and a single volley gun to manual fire straight through your own troops is fantastic.

>>180875184
What does settling do in Last Roman?
What do you guys think of the new trend of CA about making campaigns as long as possible?
I think the last fun TW game is Shogun 2.
Starting with Attila, they began to focus on giving default low public order and limiting the player armies so that you are forced to play in slow motion.
I just realized that while I have much more hours in Attila (probably half of it was loading times and end turn waiting times before i got a good GPU tho) I don`t remember having nearly as fun campaigns as I had with Shogun 2, in which PO was never a problem : and why would it be? I just fucking conquered you by the sword, know your place dog.
I just got warhammer and started on VH with the Empire, and around turn 10 things began to be Attila like, I cant expand because of the fucking public order and the orcs have come ignoring everybody else in the way to fight me.
I can tell the campaign will become tedious rather than fun in a little while.

Radious has absolutely no idea how to make a mod that is balanced. The experience is objectively worse than the default game.
DEI actually adds and balances the game.
>>180875276
You get your independence which also means you "betray" the ERE which immediately declares war on you. If you really want to settle you should really be careful where you do it.
I'd recommend settling in spain, maybe even ignoring most of the vandals just going straight for spain and settling there.
>>180876942
What about speed? Or turns? Do you get 4 turns per year/season in either Radious or DeI like in Shogun II? What do you mean by balance? Are certain unit/factions overpowered/too strong compared to other ones?
>>180876823
Cheers
>>180877254
>Are certain unit/factions overpowered/too strong compared to other ones?
Yes. All the Radious ones are utterly retarded and shit all over the default ones. And the AI isnt programmed to figure out what is good and what isnt so it often produces armies that are utterly awful.
>>180877594
What about aesthetics, graphics, etc...? I'll go with whichever one does Eastern factions like Persia and Parthia well in particular as well as generally how well units look.
>>180877254
DeI is just an overhaul
People are lazy and prefer a big overhaul over changing a few things manually
For example i don't really like DeI because i find it easier in battles, units last too much and casualties are low, you can defend almost all settlements with a few units just camping in a road. I prefer snappier fights where tides change a lot and reviewing the battles later if i want some cinematic action.
I also don't like in DeI that diplomacy is too easy, you must have to fuck up royally to have a unwinnable war, money is easy to come by exploiting non agression pacts while reducing all your unit upkeep by disbanding
The supply system in DeI is awful too
>>180877594
Yeah, well, there are mods to fix exactly that for vanilla too without all the changes from DeI
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=225694896
In fact that with "Better Campaign AI 3.5" makes for a more interesting campaign, you can even add your favorite unit packs, DeI doesn't even touch minor factions at all, there are tons of unit packs for minor factions that are much better
I'm going to be dominated by a best elf!

This. Thats why most tw games are set in Europe, because non-european setting is rarwly interesting to the player base. Even fantasy-wise borehammer is just too generic and cartoony.
got a question for you all
my friend and i got warhammer a few months ago and we've been cooping as vampires. i ask him why there are giant skull mountains all over the land and he said it was because of corruption, but i'm pretty sure those skulls were always there and they don't show up in other corrupted places
so what's with the giant skull mountains?
>>180884969
If you get all of the ghost dads into your army and have an arty piece you should be able to take K8P - especially if you manage to get some sort of healing item for the ethereal heroes. If you need to save $$ I would ditch the Warriors of Dragonfire Pass
>>180885671
>Worlds edge mountains
>edge
there is your answer.also with crazy high chaos corruption, some of the eyes turn red.
>>180885671
They're just aesthetic.
The only place it would make sense for them to exist really is the Chaos Wastes.
>>180884901
luge if true
>>180885904
but some of them aren't near the world's edge
>>180885920
so they're just for show and to fit with the general skull motif? i thought so, now to rub it in my friend's face
>>180883328
>Because less than 5% of the playerbase gives a fuck about MP and thats been true for every single TW game
While the majority of total war players are campaign only, 5% isn't an accurate percentage. Even if it was it's still a sizable population considering warhammers success. I imagine it could be far larger if they'd put the tiniest amount of effort into multiplayer.
More players have played 5 multiplayer battles than players have won a campaign as The empire which is the most popular campaign followed by dwarfs.
Just some minor quick battle changes like picking your army before you're matched to stop non stop counter picking, implementing a capture zone to stop faggets from running from battle and perhaps some limitations on picks.
None of it needs to have an affect on the solo play at all and would improve quality of life for those that do want to enjoy mp.
>>180886156
>people finish campaigns, like totally!
>let's compare this to 5 minute battles
What are you, retarded?
is there a trick to not getting attacked from every side at turn 30-40? playing the empire campaign on hard.
I have not formed any alliances so the other factions shouldn't get too mad. it's happened

>>180886346
>people don't finish campaigns
>may as well not have end game scenarios then
Same line of reasoning as not putting miniscule effort into MP
>>180886112
He's an example of that kind of terrain in the chaos wastes. Presumably it's just the skull of a really huge dead monster.
On the main map though, it's just decoration.
>>180887007
well the majority of the skulls i've seen are near the dwarf mountains and the vampire starting zone
>>180886850
>>180886592
I do have level 2 walls on every minor settlement but just so happens and some brayherd comes and btfo the garrison every time while my stack is fighting Vampires. even my almost full stack at home province defending + garrison is not enough most of time.

Guys, please help. I really really suck at Attila. Never had this much trouble with any other total war. The campaign map just kicks my ass. there are so many buildings that have so many different effects, I just get lost. I really want to play as the WRE and try to not abandon anywhere, but I cant get income, public order, or food under control. What should I do in my opening turns? What buildings should I go for? Help please.
>>180887904
WRE is literally the hardest faction
I would recommend playing as someone else for start.
General advice is to hover over shit because that pops up explanations, look at the building browser and make sure to recruit priests so you can deploy them for public order and religious influence
>>180887904
My advice would be to play through a few campaigns as other factions to get an understanding of the campaign/battle mechanics before playing WRE - its legendary difficulty for a reason.
Having just finished a WRE Divine Triumph here is some advice I would give you
>Food
Get your provinces into a food surplus asap - having negative food decreases the public order/income of your province, and unlike earlier games this applies on a per-province basis instead of from the global food supply. In Attila the global food supply is a worthless indicator since you need every province to be at a surplus.
>Sanitation
This one is big as the WRE early on as epidemics can hurt your public order and certain diseases halt replenishment which is problematic. Thankfully the Romans have multiple options to deal w/ sanitation: A great city chain in the aqueducts/sewers, a great minor chain that gives money/public order in the bath chain, and religious options in the sanitation latin church, or the global bonuses from Graeco Roman Paganism
>Public Order
Fixing food and sanitation will help with this, but you are going to need buildings as well. The best chain for this in my experience is actually the Capitol, as you get a better food cost/public order ratio than the auditorium chain. Churches will also help, although latin churches will cost maintenance.
>Religion
This is a really big deal for the WRE - your two main options for religions are Latin Christianity and Graeco-Roman Paganism. The main bonus of Latin Christianity is that it spreads better due to its global bonus, and its buildings don't cost food, but instead cost maintenance. You will also be able to build special t5 churches in certain cities that give a couple of global buffs. GRP will give more sanitation bonuses but its buildings cost food instead. Converting to GRP is much easier money wise however, as you will get a ton of cash from demolishing the christian churches not have to pay maintenance
We need an Orc version of Top Gear
>>180888798
>In Attila the global food supply is a worthless indicator
The punishment for going into negative food globally are far greater than those for an individual province
how do I get power in attila? the sassanid starting faction leader has fuck all influence and I keep losing control
is it worth buying all the dlc for total warhammer or should i wait until 2?
>>180889373
Yes but you will almost never be in a situation where the global food supply is negative

>>180889786
A couple of weeks ago, thought "cracked" isn't technically true. Some group of magnificent bastards called STEAMPUNKS made a keygen wrapper for Denuvo so it tricks the game into thinking you have a legit license.
>>180889472
Make your family members as governors or ensure they win key battles to gain influence
Governors gain a steady increase in influence if they have the job and its the safest way to get influence. You can get more influence in battles but you have to go on a winning spree
>>180889870
>Total War Arena
In Warhammer is there a hard cap on the amount of levels a lord can earn?
>>180889832
We dont know exact details as yet. But you'll certainly be able to use any DLC you purchased in MP against those with TW:W2.
a few weeks after 2's release they'll add in a combined campaign that combines the maps of 1 and 2. Most likely you'll be able to start campaigns with the DLC from 1 in this campaign, though they may be modified from how they act in 1.

>>180892470
warlords of chaos*, fuck my face slaanesh
>>180885671
After the chaos gate at the north pole collapsed, the world was basically flooded with chaos and magic. This made the beastmen, filled the world with the winds of magic, allowed daemons to exist on the material plane, and changed a bunch of mountains into rad giant skulls.
The vortex in Warhammer 2 is basically a channeled spell with the express purpose of wasting 99% of the magic in the world so that it can't do shit like that anymore.
>>180889832
Blood applies to Warhammer 2 just as it does in 1.
All other DLC for 1 applies to the mega campaign only. The vortex campaign has no overlap other than blood and maybe the upcoming DLC (but I wouldn't be on it)
Tomorrow is Norscan trailer!

>Turn 6

I don't know why they stopped taking their entire army away from the city... I mean, it makes sense to keep it safe but it sucks for me since it's not a free city. Then I'm forced to fight a full army and the garrison all at once. Luckily on field otherwise I'd never be able to win.

When you inevitably cross paths with Welves use dogs to counter their ranged and be sure that at least some of your minos have shields.
>>180895832
Oh believe me. I wish upon a star that I had Karls unit loadout for that fight.
Artillery is nice but I need the hammer to make them rout faster.
Once I get Karl, I'm dumping Gelt in a ditch. I just want the troop armor bonus since Karls campaign bonuses are as vanilla as they come.
>>180896085
>dumping the napolitana patriarch

you have to get all of their units engaged on one of your inf units, and then repeatedly rear charge them with the scout equites. Unfortunately that map is not a good one for that strategy

When did /twg/ started liking Radious?
>>180897135
Crazy hobos on a mountain. Not exactly a military unit.Admittedly, that matters less so in a videogame. Still weird to have them wiped out and re-recruited.
>>180897464
As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Radious mod would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.
Threadly reminder that Total War: China will be released as the next historical title.inb4 Arr rook same: What are TW: Shogun 1 & 2?
>>180897719
Ah - so it didn't. Good.
I almost started thinking /twg/ went to shit while I was missing.

At least in shogun 2 you had a conflict between shinto and christianity as well as gunpowderbesides, anime aside japanese culture has always been way more interesting to the western audience
>>180897962
>What are TW: Shogun 1 & 2
Shogun 1 was a classic and the first of its kind, and Shogun 2 was a sequel
Plus, as >>180898663 said, Japanese culture and warfare is well-known. China would be boring as fuck, and wouldn't even be released in China without strict censorship.
It would be the worst selling, least interesting Total War ever. Why are histfags clamoring for this?

As long as Huns/Mongols/Xiongnu are in - I don't give a fuck.
>>180897962
YES PLEASE
So the way I typically play Empire is I make up my infantry line and micro everything else, missiles, cav, switching artillery targets.
If I want the line to last longest without my interaction is it better to use Spearmen (Shields) because of their melee defense? Or would it still be better to use Swordsmen because they of their offensive power? Mostly I use Swordsmen as it is.
I'm not talking about fighting large units either, just other humans since I switch to halberds anyway once I get them. So just for early turn stuff.
>>180897962
I've come around to it.

How do you guys deal with Middenland as the Empire? I conquered them quite easily but I'm starting to regret not confederating them since I kind of wanted Todbringer as a lord.

>>180903928
I always confederate. Todbringer as a lord isn't really anything special though.
>>180903928
The only thing about it you're missing is not having a Lord named Bringer of Tod's with a unique model. There is nothing else about him that is more useful than a regular Lord, poor little lad can't even go beyond a barded horse. I confederated him once after his model update, never bothered again.
>>180903989
Well he's got a unique model, and lore states that he actually became one of Franz's most loyal allies.
>>180903928
Don't do it.
He's awful.
He's gonna be, like, level 6 with all of the wrong skills. He's worse than a basic lord because he doesn't have any skills at the top of the skill page, and it takes too long. You prosper more fucking their shit in early on. Plus it's the right thing to do.

Design decisions aside. I think Warhammer was an improvement.
Cities with 1 wall and towers that reach the whole map are gay as fuck but this probably let them practice some unit balance since they're all made up you can do anything with them anyway.
But having shields do nothing for melee combat really pisses me off. Bring back that and loose formation so there's a reason to angle your troops and aim for shit.

Yes
It's worth noting that game series that have been using the same engine for long periods of time usually update the engine consistently enough that it's hard to call it the same as it was when they first started using it.
CA talked about updating the rendering engine for total war back in March so that it was more capable of using multiple cpu cores and making more drawcalls more quickly.

That's pretty much how it goes most of the time. Bestmen get BTFO regularly, and while Greenskin Waaaghs can seriously fuck over the Empire they're usually beaten back superior technology and discipline.
>>180916065
>How the hell are warhammer factions factions like empire able to constantly be at war with factions such as beastmeme, orcs and skaven who have unending army numbers.
Sensible numbers and casualties have never been Warhammer FBs (or Warhammer 40ks) strong side. And that's when we actually get any numbers at all. The people behind the lore are like medieval writers, they have no head for it. Personally I take the numbers and losses described by the codexes and other stuff with a few grains of salt.
>>180916065
Orcs spend most of their time fighting each other, and WAAAGH's only happen very, very rarely.
Beastmen are fractious and rarely ever unite, they mostly stick to raiding, and the Empire have gotten pretty good at pruning them to the point where they can't pose a serious threat to the stability of the nation.
Skaven prefer to scheme from behind the scenes, and are so busy backstabbing each other that, again, they rarely ever get their shit together.
Are there any mods that randomise the time when the first chaos invasion shows up?
I keep finding myself unconsciously preparing for the chaos invasions because i know just about when they are going to show up.
>mfw next historical title is Total War Hyborean Age
>>180916065
90% of contact with greenskins and beastmen is just repelling small marauding bands that can't really get past the first line of defence. Waaaghs and shit like that occur rarely, but then it is a huge issue. Skaven don't throw large scale invasions ever unless something really big is happening.

Can't wait to see it.
I've only played Attila, and just started with Warhammer, I don't quite understand how the """meta""" works, what am I supposed to do most of the time? There isn't as much focus on building and I can't see how to directly affect public order, am I supposed to fight as much as possible or?
>>180919224

>Public Order
Build structures that increase it. Deploy hero units that increase it in problem territories. If you have an army on defensive duty then maybe spec the lord into +Public Order skills.

Pretty sure a Victoria Total War would be pretty boring simply because it will be way too focused on Britain, leaving all other factions bare-bones

Unironically that is one of the many things that is wrong R2
It's been 4 years and I'm still mad Rome is the only faction in R2 with Area of Recruitment units
Not to mention roman unit variety compared to other factions
>>180914985
>With the state of console power
More like lack of console power.
They're barely able to run shit at 1080p60, and the ''''''next''''' gen consoles will have all the graphics power of a PC from ca. 2016.
It's fascinating to see how far they can push things with optimization, but it's still kinda sad when you realize that consoles have effectively frozen graphics developemnt at a state of ca. 2008 for almost a decade.
And now they pretend that they're giving people all the cool new shit. . . that has been perfectly normal on PCs for the last six or seven years.

Fucking shit, how do I deal with this nonsense mechanic as the VC?
Is there a more fun faction to play as at the start? I'm not really feeling their playstyle right now.
>>180919747
If Napoleon's gameplay was crossed with Empire's scale it would have been perfect.
>>180919893
That's what I meant, friend.
>>180919887
CA has learned a lot from Rome, and they'd be absolutely retarded to overlook factions like France, Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy, etc in a 19th century Total War.

There should be some amount of backlash over announcing a sequel less than a year after the original game's release, especially if that sequel is a glorified expansion with a 2 in the title that does nothing more than attempt justify the $60 price tag to be completely honest

They literally got you all the way
>>180924631
>he likes paying almost $200 for a half-assed expansion pack
>>180924515
I paid 40 for the first game too doofusdick, that kind of discount was offered for Warhammer I too, so if it was an expansion we should be paying 25-30 for it.
>>180924787

But y tho
>>180924758
But WHY?
This is what I don't understand with the one (And yes it is literally just one) dude constantly posting EXPANSION PACK EXPANSION PACK.
You're getting 4 playable races on their own terrain, with their own mechanics. That is the exact amount of new content as the first game. Why the fuck would it not be $60?
And please stop pretending you speak for us, expansionfag.

Are the siege towers in Warhammer total war made of fucking paper or what? As Beastmen I fought a lot against dwarves, they used cannons to gun down my siege towers sure, makes sense after all. They are made of crude wood and get shot at by strong, big cannons. Breaking easily.
Now on my empire play I was sieging skarsnik using siege towers, naturally I put them in the first row because they are supposed to keep people save from arrows! They shot at it with arrows and I lost 5 out of 6 siege towers! How is that fucking possible?!
Not accepting this bullshit I loaded a save file for round 2. This time I concentrate them on one tight spot and even managed to get to the wall. But only because I used my crossbowmen and milita as cannonfodder! Using them like soviet russia, putting infantry in front of tanks.
What is this bullshit? Can't be that siege towers get shot down by regular fucking arrows!
