Any building from the last 10 years in Beijing makes western skyscrapers look like childrens toys honestly. Look at the Olympics for example, the bird's nest is probably the greatest Olympic building ever erected.

and the most famous Roman buildings were mostly designed by Greeks, doesn't mean they aren't attributed to Rome. China is undoubtedly the engineering and construction capital of the world, their top government advisors are engineers after all. The US has a hard time concieving of anything as great as a wall or high speed train line these days.

Skaven don't get tanks, and that area is too ramshackle and wooden to belong to either dwarfs or humans.

Sick memes Grimgor.

>>181032248
Also Lustrian skaven are the least likely to have anything clan related since they are poor and the other clans don't like them and are based in the old world. It would give CA a good excuse to totally butcher their roster, locking warp lightning cannons, hell pit aboms, doomwheels, eshin units and more behind an old world DLC.

>>181032176

>>181033047
I imagine their roster might lack:
>Plague Priest
>Plague Censer Bearers
>Plagueclaw Catapult

For that inevitable Sotek vs Clan Pestilens DLC.

Maybe also Plague Monks, although they're seem too big a unit to omit on release.

>>181033216
They still can have it. Skaven trade their shit between clans.

So dark elves are servants of chaos or what?

>>181033216
Yeah but this is Total War we're talking about here. They're probably just going to have access to the main faction's units anyway.

What I think is really going to happen though is that Tilea/Estalia are going to be in the WH2 map, so that Skaven can just be actual Skaven

>>181033416
there are some slaanesh pleasure cults hiding around with them, but for the most part they worship elf gods like khaine

>>181033416
Dark Elves are their own thing but in the old canon they supposedly were all about that slaanesh life

>>181033416
misunderstood edgelords

also their leader is the biggest looser in the setting beign intentionally shat on by elven gods just for keks

>>181033310
That's a dlc for sure.

>>181033325
DLC for the second game that adds things to both the Vortex and Grand campaigns. Maybe?

>>181033429
>What I think is really going to happen though is that Tilea/Estalia are going to be in the WH2 map
What? That's WH1 map you are talking about.

>>181033541
>>181033559
So they are immune to chaos corruption spreading from the north unlike humans?

>>181033416
They are just really pissed. Hate moulds them.

>>181033716
Are they angry about elves?

>>181033609
Yeah, but nothing's stopping CA from using a chunk of the old world to have Skavenblight on the map. Conquistadors are already going to have armies in Lustria so why not just be like eh fuck it here's 2 already existing factions but with actual tilean/estalian units instead

>>181032914
I fucking love the no RoR mod.

>>181033416
It varies depending on edition.
They're asshole elves.
Some worship Chaos to some degree(usually Slaanesh), but in general they worship their own gods, but through more twisted rites than the Helves(Welves are just as fucked as the Delves though).
They specifically have a series of great watchtowers watching the Chaos wastes and are technically the most competent constant anti-chaos faction in the setting. Not that much chaos shit is written for Naggaroth because it's a backwater shithole lore-wise though.

>>181033665
Not completely, in general though yeah; same way Elves can handle more complex magic than humans.

>>181033806
>but nothing's stopping CA from using a chunk of the old world to have Skavenblight on the map
That's just stupid. Whole reason of those maps is to cover as much of warhammer world as possible.

The fuck did I do to you. Khazrak?

Seriously, they literally just spawned last turn.

>>181033929
They're already going to have the Southlands in the game anyway and potentially Araby, so again what's stopping them from having Estalia/Tilea to put the pressure on the Southlands and Ulthuan from the east?

>>181033806
Except for the fact that they stated it would not depict any part of the old world map. Four continents only.

Skavenblight as a city is actually pretty irrelevant. With the exception of the end times and the skaven just making the southern realms disappear all night, literally every important Skaven dance is done far, far away from the "capital".

>>181033885
>are technically the most competent constant anti-chaos faction in the setting
Oh, I thought that was lizardmen.

>Skaven have access to tunnels which allows them quick acess to and from the new world.

>>181034090
yes

>>181034042
I just don't want Skaven to be a fucking horde faction

>>181033974

>>181034037
>They're already going to have the Southlands in the game anyway and potentially Araby
So what?
>Estalia/Tilea to put the pressure on the Southlands and Ulthuan from the east?
They will do that on combined map. That's the whole reason for creating it.

>>181034149
mate, Teclis is already a horde faction. So with the approach that the same race can have two starts, one being horde and one being normal start with a city, it's not impossible for them to mix up the horde mechanics for delf black arcs or for skaven.

>No underground layer in WH2

Why live lads.

>>181033974
You showed weakness.

>>181034059
Keyword is competent rather than dedicated. And I mean it in that they set up a defense and the defense worked, unlike everywhere else where Chaos always slips through.

Chaos sometimes slips through the northern watchtowers but only for shit like Archaon's grand theft auto that doesn't really affect anyone except the unlucky watchtower garrison.

Lizardmen have fought Chaos more than anyone else. Delves don't fight them much. I meant the comment as a testament to how good their defense must be.

>>181034230
Looks like the standard WoC game, you want to eliminate every norscan but one, awaken it and then shank it and vassalize it. If you awaken multiple they just fight one another like the tards they are.

>>181034316
I thought he was on some tower islands elf colony, also hordes seem much less relevant when the game is introducing the ability to take any settlement. If CA have been listening to feedback they should be pretty wary of making more horde factions, they get a lot of criticism. Also I think they might make Hordes more of a campaign stance than a limitation, expect Dark Elves to have sea hordes with buildings and full recruitment options. Even WoC will probably get a mixture of settlements and horde play with the next expansion.

Somewhat, not really. The chaos stunties have so little written about them at this point that they kinda just sit in the middle of the dead lands and be decadent with their slaves. They mine and shit but they don't really need to be connected to anything. Chaos and Ogres and shit will come by and buy a couple of things every now and then but that's pretty much it.

Krell is explictly what the cryptic name says on the box, doesn't currently exist in the game; would boost a currently terrible lord and is something people have been asking for ages as a glaring omission far more noticeable than other Elector Counts.

They already confirmed that Old Friend isn't a LL or anything major.

Given that it's most likely tied to CA's 30 year anniversary, I'm guessing it's some kind of gag unit reference to one of the previous games. Like a unit of Nipponese Ronin as a way of referencing the original Shogun Total War.

>>181038290

A result far beyond most Senators expectations after Roma bloody experiences against Arabian's foes. While auxiliaries held an adequate line, Roma legionnaires went far above the call of duty. With two legions on their way to pacify Alexandria backdoor, Aethiopia is expected to last for two years on account of its rather vast territory.

If things remain calm at home, with Egypt and the Seleucids then Roma expansions will be a peaceful one indeed.

Perfidious Hellenic bastards!

Since the end of Pyrrhus wars on Italian soil, the Republic of Roma shared the immense wealth with Epirus through years of trading. This act of blatant aggression has the Senate very worried, One of Roma two fleets will be called back to guard Romes rich holding and a new Legion will be mustered, Aethiopia legions are to expedite conquests and come back home leaving a single one to guard Alexandria and these potential new lands.

All expansion in Egypt is over, Rome must prepare for war, a massive one, very close to home.

Tyros and Salamis are sacked by the fleet and a large tribal army is seen making it's way to their coastal holding. This money is to be redirected into the first Legion and if things looks grim, Aethiopia will be abandoned to favor wars closer to home.

This venture into rich middle eastern lands will not go unanswered after all.

Started happening to me in the last several months, at random points it does similar to that. The game won't crash but will stay (visually) frozen, I can hear battles/music/clicks I make but it stays stuck. Makes it impossible to play more than a few turns without that happening.

Tried lowering graphics settings but now the game goes black instead of freeze-framing but otherwise does the same thing.

Two legions strike as one in the night of the same day, wiping out tribal armies with Italian auxiliaries suffering the brunt of losses. As dawn light grows, both commanders push their men for a final assault but the Arabian chieftain wisen up and retreat where it is expected he'll entrench himself in his city, whereupon both legions will converge for a quick assault to minimize losses. Afterward Legio 3, filled with veterans Legionnaires, will be making the long road home to reinforce Roman holdings against Epirus.

ya this seems to be the biggest complaint and i see why. compared to Med 2 or Attila the campaign map is horrible. nothing really to do. which is why I'm hoping that warhammer 2 and 3 will fix it.


>battles are fine short of maybe a few tweaks here and there
I generally agree with this. their are some mods that do just that already out.

>TWWH1 is my first total war game.
try put Attila or Med 2. you might like those better. there's n overhaul mod for med 2 that turns it into the warhammer universe. Attila is definitely the most mechanically in depth one though out of the series.

Most sequels always try and improve upon their engine to fix problems that cropped up in the first game.

Point to where Warhammer 2 is doing this? Oh wait, it can't have a new engine to fix anything that didn't work quite as planned because it's a fucking expansion designed to be played with the base game.

>>181060532

Formations really change a lot compared to Attila

I might catch a lot of flak for saying this, but I genuinely think Attila has more variety than Warhammer simply because of troop mechanics.
Say you use a germanic tribe or early kingdom, you're unlikely to find tanky infantry but you will find strong cav and to some heavy cav and the possibility to raid structures to lower enemy morale, or shock infantry or gimmicky units.
But when faced against horse archers you have to rely a lot on your cav and your infantry can resist only to some extent the barrage of fire, especially the elite ones, the basic infantry is completely screwed.

If you play Romans instead your infantry can just turtle and wait for the horse archers to spend their ammo with next to no losses, or if you play sassanids your cavalry is so heavily armored (even their basic cav is a form of cataphract) that they mostly ignore projectiles but are slow even on the charge (why did they get rid of this improvement in Warhammer? They went back to Rome 2 charges where cavalry gets a speed boost that is the same for every type, in Attila cataphracts only get a small boost) but their infantry gets shredded by projectiles, so your whole playstyle changes, your infantry is just a support for cav charges instead of the meat for the anvil.

Warhammer with all their monsters, flying units and such completely lacks this aspect, I don't care if I'm facing a Varghulf or Chosen my tactic will be the same, kite and shoot and eventually both WILL die, even with such an extreme example like Chosen or ironbreakers, you don't change your strategy when facing them, at most you prioritise squishier targets but you can still kill them relatively easily because they can't just turtle in a formation that changes the whole dynamic of the unit.

I just can't get over Warhammer "artstyle". I know this is GW thing that CA just adopted but it is so bad.

Does anybody even paly dark elves in tabletop? Who the fuck finds it worth money and time. It's like high elves BUT everything is black and purple AND with spikes. That's literaly Coldsteel the Hedgeheg design.

>what the fuck is going on in anything chaos related, rats
It's good, that's what going on.

>>181062886

I admit dark elves are probably the worst design in Warhammer but i find rats to be ok, other than the most recent stuff like the verminlord.

You're a 90's baby aren;t you, I am myself but show some respect to the elders

I was born in the 80's.

>If you play Romans instead your infantry can just turtle and wait for the horse archers to spend their ammo with next to no losses
literally dorf strat

>so your whole playstyle changes, your infantry is just a support for cav charges instead of the meat for the anvil.
literally bret strat

I mean you named 2 whole playstyles here to argue for the variety of shirts vs skins. VS things like vampires with not a single ranged unit at all who rely on attrition with massed shitty infantry wearing out the enemy and dark magic support with some fast cheap throwaway flyers to harass enemy ranged and keep them on their toes, severely outgunned gobbos with garbage morale that demand sneaky schemin and outplaying, ambush abuse and using the constant routs to your advantage. Fire on the move 360 degree arc hit and run glass cannon masters with ranged generals weird magic support cavalry.

>kite and shoot and eventually both WILL die
there is no exception to this ever in the history of games

Why are maps with buildings to laggy in this game?

You can have two units on the map but panning over eats your frames like no tommorow

>>181062491
>They went back to Rome 2 charges where cavalry gets a speed boost that is the same for every type
maybe they're still using the Rome 2 engine since they started work on it during it's development?

>>181063260
then what the fuck is wrong with you

>>181062886
>That's literaly Coldsteel the Hedgeheg design.
It's also literally the point. They're comically evil edgelords who do coke and rape slaves.

>>181063539
Nothning I guess. I just can't stand shitty artstyle. Btw I'm not american so maybe that's the thing.

T-Thanks, guys.

neither is warhammer

>>181062886
Your opinion is incoherent. What exactly bothers you about specific races in Warhammer?

Also, most of this stuff came out in the 80s and 90s before internet edginess existed. Exaggerated gothic design didn't used to be considered crass. It's like complaining that Hamlet isn't written about America and Laertes and Hamlet don't duel it out with AKs. Different times.

>>181063813
Oh OK. You learn something new everyday I guess.

>>181063704
A lot of core warhammer designs were drawn by john blanche who is something of a legend, he basically defined the artstyle.

This is going surprisingly well. Minor empire states got buttfucked hard by Norscans and Chaos. Vamp Corruption fucked up the Norscans enough that Franz managed to break them. Chaos is still three armies strong though, not counting Morghur's army in Reikland right now.

I've been using almost nothing but Necromancers up until now so it feels weird to transition to all these LLs.

Possible to use control scheme from rtw in rome 2?
can't stand using wasd for camera instead of as hotkeys

>>181063905
Interesting. I grew up with Sword and Sorcerry gamebooks illustrated by him. Didn't know until now. Altough I didn't like the artstyle even back than.

Decide for yourself mang

>>181064289
Why would they?

>>181064289
Probably Arkhan, and Nagash.

>>181064249
people like that its so busy and detailed and also pretty dark, but he also set the themes like checkers for orks and eldar runes and stuff.

>>181064289
They were Egyptian. So they were Egyptian coloured.

>>181064537

They're like undead egyptians.

>>181063849
Edginess, exagerated gothic design, whatever you call it. High elves are like fantasy legions. But still legions, empire is just 16th century Europe with some fantasy shit throw in greenskins are comical barabrians I can get over it. But chaos stuff is just overdesigned "too cool for shcool" shit.

Got a terrorgheist and a couple of vargheist units in the Vampire Lord army Ghorst is traveling with. I went hard into Liber Necronomica early for badass ghost units, so I didn't tended to avoiding Blasphemous Bestiary units in favor of Ghouls and Skeletons. I usually use Dire Wolves or Cavalry instead of bats anyway.

>>181065102
>so I didn't tended to avoiding Blasphemous Bestiary units
Wow goddamn I embarrassed my ancestors with how badly I butchered that sentence. What I meant to say was "so I've tended to avoid Blasphemous Bestiary units in favor of Ghouls and Skeletons."

>>181065274
Bats are underrated imo, I never got much use out of ghouls my self and that's despite using crypt horrors in most of the armies I would field.
