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.

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.

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.

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

>>
>>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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

>Reuters Toyko 2020: Creative Assembly celebrates 20 million Japanese sales to the 3rd quarter '19 of it's smash crossover hit Total War: Hyrule. "After the success of a fantasy setting for Total War in the Warhammer triology it was natural for us to look for another fantasy setting to bring our battle gaming formula to. Combing the leading video game IP, particularly in the Far East, with Total War has proven to be a success beyond our wildeat expectations."

They're based on the Fomorians of Celtic myth but are far enough removed from them to be the most original race inhabiting WHFB. They could only reproduce through sexing (raping) human women.

>>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.

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.

Depends on where you find it easy, at early game, middle game or late game

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.

Sure is. (not lorica segmentata though, that'd be completely retarded)

The greeks and Romans did it with their high-status armour, modeling exaggerated muscles on their breastplates with nipples and all, women fighting in combat like that is already a fantasy so it's not that big of a leap to assume they'd have the same body-idealistic decorations on their armour.

With the state of console power, new engines aren't really necessary OR cost effective. You get much better return on investment upping the poly count a bit, making better textures and redoing the lighting like Fallout 4 than you do starting over.

>>180914916
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.

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.

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
What faction man?

>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.
>>
>>180919334
Empire, and note that I'm generally new to TW in general but I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on Attila. How do I unlock the buildings to build public order? And can someone explain how tech works in WH too please?:)))

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

A Scramble for Africa campaign pack for for a hypothetical Victoria Total war would be great imo, they would have to give each colonial power more or less equal spotlight
>>
>>180919442

Reckon it might get cancelled if wh2 does well.

If not probably China, though Victoria would probs be better.

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.

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!

I'm so fucking tired of playing as Romans.

Release a new history game already.

>>180929060
Then why don't you just play Dwarfs?
>>
>>180929313
Because I want to relive history. If I wanted to play fantasy I'd play DoW.

OH SHIT I FUCKING FIGURED IT ALL OUT

I JUST HAD A FLASH INSIGHT AKIN TO ENLIGHTENMENT

note: I'm not at all saying this just because they posted that dumb image that has nothing to do with it

It fits so fucking well in every point

they'd be fun if total war had empire management and city building elements

So literally Age of Charlemagne with a few extras?
What else was happening in the world in that year? (that was total war relevant)

I thought I'd hate them but I ended up enjoying Dwarfs the most. That tech, those aesthetics, I unironically loved the book of grudges, and their voice acting is fucking top tier.

Is Alexander that bad?

>>180932117
If you want to beliebe that it's ok, but remember HISTORY WILL NEVER RETURN

>>180855926

So, should I buy warhammer if i can buy just 1 dlc?
>>
>>180931710
They do have the best music though

>>180932354
They lock units for the base game factions behind DLC and the AI who is the same race as you will keep recruiting stronger units you aren't allowed to recruit
>>
>>180932163

It's just very easy and repetitive as hell. Your sarissa and companions destroy everything. Brian Blesseds narration in the Historical Battles is nice and all but that's about it.

>you didn't make a career of drawing/painting cool shit

one does not care to acknowledge the mistakes of one's youth.

>>180932163
it's not BAD. The first few turns are pretty fun, but once you build momentum it's hard to care enough to finish.

>>180932346
literally wrong. Rome 2 DLC campaign and new history title in the works. Meanwhile, TWWHII is pretty much an expansion to the first game. im not complaining.
>>
>>180932456

but can i use unit packs so i have like 20 variations of those dlc units?
>>
>>180932562
You can pirate the DLC

New thread:

>>180932675

>>180932607

I don't like pirating total war gamse because they usually don't have the performance fixes
>>
>>180931039
Even in table top units make no sense to lore, a few empire spearmen could beat a grail knight or chaos knight with a good roll, yet there lore shows them as super powered OP mary sues.
>>
>>180932928
So did 40k but the stories tended to be good

>>180933132

Nope.tiff

>>180929882

The ECW was not a total war, more a disjointed series of battles.
