>>181315884

Empire's battle AI is absolute shit. I surrounded an enemy regiment and instead of shooting one side or retreating, they just faced open ground and took shots from my regiments

How long you think a turn is in Warhammer?

>>181316912

anywhere from 1-20 minutes

>>181316912
Late game usually takes awhile, can be up to 30 min.

>>181316912
The game starts in 2502 and Archaon invades the old world in 2519-2522 in both Storm of Chaos and End Times

So, as it takes 80-100 turns to get the chaos event, you do the math

>>181319337

New player question. The strength rank in the diplomacy screen is like an ordered list of all the factions, right? So being 4 while bargaining with a 30 means I've got the better overall force?

They doing one right now.

>>181319387
>>181319474

Ah ok, so it's more of a unit ability now.

So infantry can no longer toggle between tight/loose formations to reduce damage from archers?

I mean admittedly I don't know shit about tabletop Warhammer, so it's probably some compromise between the two rulesets, but it feels weird as fuck that some of my units seem to default to a loose formation, others tight etc

>>181319641
For the most part, tabletop regiments operate in tight formation. Only skirmishing troops have a looser formation, which they already have in Total Warhams by being spaced further apart by default.

The strengths of both are the weaknesses of eachother. Attila has bad ui, Shogun has great ui. Attila has bad optimization, Shogun has great optimization. Attila has large rosters, Shogun has small rosters. Attila has deep campaign mechanics and Shogun has more shallow mechanics. Overall Shogun is the more entertaining game and it plays better and won't frustrate you, but Attila has the most depth and a good bit of variety with some of the best and most unforgiving campaigns.

>>181322165

This informations tells us two things about you. That you are a) a teenager and b) that you cheat in your TW game.

Because the point of modding is to let loose misplaced adolescent creativity (the equivalent of terrible, broken, unimaginative homebrew rules and monsters in D&D) and to make the game easier for people who find making decisions hard (eg teenagers and subhuman youtubers who use skill points mods).

Best warhammer faction mod, Go!

So as takeda I should only be using katana cav right? My fire horsemen seem to be utter trash

>>181325092
I can't even respect a faction that doesn't have decent heavy infantry

>>181325164
Hope you have some mods that make cavalry not completely useless. I actually prefer yari cav just because they'll destroy other cavalry and generals.

Foot Squires are decent aren't they?

>>181325263
unfortunately no. Here is a comparison of the 2, with the yari cav thrown in just to show how the fire cav aren't even that special. Normally I would take some cav w/ anti cav for winning cav fights and killing generals, but look at the fucking stats on those katana cav. The fire cav also take 2 turns to recruit unlike the others

>>181325030
Yeah, better to make all your lords be able to buff your troops to Skarsnik-like levels and to use a cheat code to disable enemy agent activities because mommy, the compwuter hoit my little soldiers again waaaah

oh, and we'll have a serving of dwarven hippogriffs with lances and throwing axes with that, because the retarded AI is just sooo hard to beat without horrifically stitching assets together and giving them 200 of every stat. I lol at the people who predict that the modders will fix it with every new DLC CA puts out, because those people are submitting themselves to an untested, aestethically offensive, ersatz experience that can hardly even be called a game anymore. How can you hate modders and mod users so much, you'll ask, they're just dumb kids after all, and we all mistakes in our youths, playing mods included. My answer is that I really wouldn't mind if mods didn't enjoy such wide acceptance in /twg/ and each thread weren't littered with mentions of terrible crimes against TW games such as Steel Faith, Disable X feature, give X mana to player because FUN!, etc.

Shame! Shame on all you ENEMIES of /twg/ who make it seem that modding is alright when it really isn't. I'm not even going into LOTR-themed TC's because thinking on that too hard might just give me a heart attack. Have a nice weekend.

>>181325263
Cav in shogun is not useless, you use them to kill generals, enemy cav and most importantly: to charge into the back of infantry, to kill them and to get that sweet morale debuff, so that those fuckers rout almost instantly.

Charge and retreat, not fight, as far as I remember charge bonus stays for a couple of secs after initial attack - thats why yari cav is better than katana cav imho

>>181325497

In that they break the lore and counteract the whole concept of Bretonnian tactics being cavalry-based. Put it down to a) WH youtubers being mouthbreather retards who can't manoeuver cavalry to save their lives, and the playerbase presumably following suit b) a foil for the Fey Enchantress' Mortis Engine mechanic.

>>181326587
Foot Squires in 4th/5th (?) were another unit of lightly armoured skirmishers, not a radious-type parody of Imperial greatswords.

>>181325448
The real answer is that they are just worse Great Swords, still a good unit but not as reliable.

>>181326862
the real answer is that they are better greatswords, because they are more cost effective and their only issue of low leadership is easily rectified with a grail reliquae

Brettonia dealing with armored units:

>How it should be
Pray that your shit-eating peasants die slowly enough so that you can maneuver your elite cav to rear charge them from behind, or use your ap greatsword cav to charge them frontally while your elite cav charge them from behind, or engage them with your lord/hero character while your elite cav charge them from behind

>How it is
Laugh as the enemy tries to cut through your impeneatrable blob of near-unbreakable peasants while your fey engine slowly sucks the will to live out of all the enemy units nearby

or

Support your front line of ap inf with magic and leadership support from the grail relique while you maneuver your elite cav to charge the enemy from behind

They were originally going to be Questing Knights on foot though. They had to change them to foot squires in the end because having the best infantry not interact with the peasant mechanic would make the entire mechanic pointless.

Literally just look at their models and then look at questing knights.

Lore wise it makes perfect sense that a knight with a 2 handed sword can get of his horse and still make good use of it.

Brettonia from tabletop doesn't work in total war though.

Warhammer has no anti-large mechanic, spears are just as good against infantry as they are against cav.

Total War does have a anti-large mechanic and so an army that relies entirely on cav to win will be fucking awful.

It'd be fine if cav could dismount in this game so that if you're faced with hordes of spears you can still do OK, but they can't for some dumb reason.

>>181334010
Yes but I'm saying they won't count as a large unit, though maybe CA won't care and they'll be the race that gets countered by massing anti-large and cannons.

>>181333767
I really enjoyed Malus Darkblade novels.
Also Time of Legends stuff is pretty good and it tells you stories about some great heroes, villains and events (Sigmar, Nagash, Elven civil war, etc.)

And Gotrek & Felix is a great entry point into Warhammer Fantasy lore.

Some of the books in the Warhammer Heroes novel are relevant:

>Archaon
>Sigvald
>Skarsnik

There's also the Von Carstein trilogy. I read the first one a bit but it didn't really grab me.

As for TWW2 I can think of a few there that might possibly be relevant. Headtaker is about Queek and is, from the reviews I've read, quite good. The Thanquol and Boneripper books are pretty decent. The second one, Temple of the Serpent, has a few scenes from a Slanns perspective.

>>181334853
I had never read a Warhammer novel before recently picking up Wulfrik. I enjoyed the adventures much more than the depiction of Norsca, with the part set on the Plain of Zharr being particularly good with its descriptions of 'particularly loathsome examples of Dwarves'. Many lols were had.

Oh yeah, another one: Grimblades, in the Empire/Empire army folder, is pretty good too, though not really relevant to TWW, aside from the fact that many Empire units are present. It takes place during Grom the Paunchs invasion of the Empire.

Vanilla Legendary is a breeze compared to some mods in Normal/Hard

Okay so I'm new to TWW and still got some questions (Asked about spellcasters yesterday)

So for example. In Riekland province there's +1 Chaos corruption due to the worlwide event thing that happens when the chaos armies start invading. In the whole of Riekland there's only one source of corruption, and that's +1 (event) or whatever, but at the same time, I've got a lord there with the skill to reduce chaos corruption by +3. So why in the hell is chaos corruption increasing and trending towards 25%? Surely the lord with the reduction chaos corruption 3% outweighs the +1% chaos corruption?

Also, if I have a bank of 300k gold and 15k income, should I field more than one army?

What unit size are you planning on using? Huge/ultra there too?

Graphics card looks good. I run a 970 and I run it mostly on High/Ultra and it works fine. It does chug a bit in the larger battles, when I approach 6000 models and higher, but not extremely so.

TWW is pretty processor intensive. I think yours will be able to handle it on Large unit sizes but on the largest it might be a problem. What fan do you have? I have a i7-4790K CPU and it got very warm. I eventually had to get a Noctua fan to keep temperatures reasonable.

>SSD

Good. This will spare you long loading times.

>>181339819

Not on ultra or anything but if you turn down the settings and unit sizes it probably can.

Dunno about unit size, but playing with the smallest option was awful. Been playing on an overheating laptop on the lowest settings.

Would an i7 be better? Thought it was all about the core speed

Does an SSD really upgrade load times by a significant amount?

>>181340298
What is needed for ultra then?

Yes quite significantly.

GCCM, which I highly recommend. Occasional too fucking big maps clearly meant for multiplayer and AI fuck ups are a small price to pay for not having to fight the same two or three maps every siege.

>>181341196
Like what? Halfs them or more?

>>181341062
you honestly wouldn't believe how much a SSD helps.

I bought one thinking i'd only use it for warhammer, and within a day i had decided to completely reformat, and install all my programs on it.

>>181339562
more than enough.

the weak point is your processor, but it should be more than good enough.

>>181341380

Easily halves them. I had the game on a HDD, where it was like a minute or more. Now, on an SSD, it's like ten seconds or so.

>>181341243
I used to have GCCM installed. Uninstalled it after I spent 45 minutes of one battle just marching to the fucking tiny ass section of the map where the dwarven garrison was. Dunno how the other maps compare, since this one basically put you on one corner on the map, and the setup of the area was such that you needed to go to the opposite corner, and THEN, go all the way back following the map border just to get at the enemy army, but that was so fucking painful I decided not to use it anymore.

So the only problem would be large battles/unit sizes due to processor?

Kholek is first through the gates!

>>181341843

I personally am not bothered too much by the sometimes ludicrous sizes of the maps. Though the Kraka Drak map was a bit insane when I played as them. The AI is the true flaw, imo. On this map I am noticing that the AI has issues with the map. The two gates are well defended but the walls are, while not completely unguarded, not heavily garrisoned.

But as I said earlier, I'm willing to put up with it because it's better than vanilla, with the same basic layout all the time and no fucking minor settlements at all.

>181341380
your processor is fine, mine is worse, and i still have decent graphics and can easily do 90% of battles just fine. its only the ones where multiple armies are reinforcing multiple armies that it will slow down.

I just bought R:TW on sale. It was the first Total War game I owned (but I had played Shogun at my cousin's house). I'm still astounded by how much more fun I'm having with it than Rome 2.
