What's with your hateboner for Grimgor dude? Every fucking time someone brings him up you just go ballistic. Far as Warhammer characters go, he's far from the most uninteresting one. How come you don't have this reaction to Ghorst? Did Grimgor fuck your wife or something?

>>182086234
All the fanboyism came when he headbutted Archaon and put an end to SoC

>>182086367
And rightfully so. He achieved one of the -if not THE- greatest achievement anyone's accomplished in Warhammer after Sigmar, AND he stopped the Warhammer universe from being deleted. Until GW decided to do it anyway, at least.

How is that not worthy of liking the dude? Do you set out to hate everyone who ever does something good?

>>182086234
He's everything wrong with greenskin as he is the most boring of them all with no call back to their inherent sillyness. Not to mention that him being involved in the ebin "narrative" of the end times introduced greenskin "fans" to the retarded idea of powerlevels.

If I see one campaignposter in this fucking thread im gonna bully the shit out of him

>>182086608
So you hate him because he makes the greenskins not purely a bunch of clowns partying it up in the badlands and turns them into an actual threat and an active player in the greater scale of Warhammer? Did you just hope greenskins would never amount to anything more than a pest that every other race casually brushes off because everyone else is a much bigger threat?

I seriously don't understand all this hate. A single character manages to be competent and achieve great things and you hate him for it.

>>182086960
This is exactly the retarded stuff I was talking about, the fact that you need a cool badass dude to be a big bad orc to like them is stupid. You might as well not approach warhammer greenskins at that point. The faction was perfectly fine without him, and like every faction it had its ups and downs, but no, some fans are not happy just reading about some campaign going on and then maybe be stopped, because that means that BOOHOO we lost one battle after tens of victories and THAT'S BAD AND IT MEANS THE FACTION SUCKS.

Thinking like that is what made the clusterfuck that was SoC/ET possible.

I can't even begin to understand you shitfilled brain.

>you need a cool badass dude to be a big bad orc to like them
No I fucking don't. Who said I do? And by that logic, absolutely no one is allowed to like any character in Warhammer. You're not allowed to like Karl because he's a cool badass dude and if you like him then you never actually liked the Empire.
>The faction was perfectly fine without him
No they weren't. At that point the greenskins had little to no actual leaders that could have made them relevant in any of the plots GW intended to do. Skarsnik, Gorfang, etc. were relatively minor characters compared to the big players, and had no interest beyond their own turfs. All the big orcs that actually threatened the other factions - Gorbad, Azhag, Grom, etc.- were dead. Without Grimgor, it's not that the greenskins would have had ups and downs, it's that they wouldn't have mattered at all. Way of a bigger kick in the nuts to everyone who likes them than just having a big, angry orc get shit done.
>some fans are not happy just reading about some campaign going on and then maybe be stopped, because that means that BOOHOO we lost one battle after tens of victories and THAT'S BAD AND IT MEANS THE FACTION SUCKS.
I don't even understand what the fuck are you saying here. And for the record, Grimgor does lose a battle in SoC/ET.
>Thinking like that is what made the clusterfuck that was SoC/ET possible.
You're a fucking moron and a crybaby who doesn't have a clue how shit works so you just look for a target to direct all your babyrage towards. SoC/ET didn't happen for some moronic reason just because people liked characters like Grimgor, it happened because GW wanted to fucking reboot the universe. Nothing more, nothing less. The fact that you fucking blame Grimgor of all characters for the shitstain those campaigns were is baffling, considering he fucking STOPPED it. By all logic, you should fucking love him.

Seems like particularly on Legendary there are going to be huge amounts of rebellions basically everywhere. Do I burn settlements near to the enemy and disband border armies so I can recruit more internal forces to restore public order?

Stop playing war games.

>no mods that let me have a harem of vampire and elf grills
shit game

Why the fuck the victory conditions for some races are so much harder and take so much more time to achieve than others?

You play wood elves you just have to build a tree and capture 20 random settlements, you play beastmen and just have to raze the empire

Meanwhile as gobbos you have to take every dwarf settlement and destroy all greenskin factions and destroy the empire AND destroy chaos warriors. That's like 3/4 of the map.

WHY

>>182093576
>Michael: What’s the scope of this Total War Saga game? How big will it be?
>Jack: When we talk about games based around these moments in history that lasted months or years
>Michael: Any hints yet as to the content? Why did you want to make a game based at this particular point in history?
>Jack: We’ll announce it properly in the next few months, but I can say that it’s another spiritual follow-up to Total War: ROME II, like Total War: ATTILA,
So something between Rome 2 and Attila. And something that only lasted a couple years. Great conspiracy? It happened a few decades before Attila and lasted only one year. It could work.

Is there a way to zoom out more in the campaign map? A mod or something. I lile how in Rome I you can zoom out a lot but in newer titles the FOV is too close, you can't see the land around unless you use the tactical view

I want Rome 2 to be better

>>182094907
So did they confirmed it's gonna be a dlc for Rome instead of Attila or is it gonna be "it's own thing"?

>>182095320
It is it's own game. A map with as many towns as Attila. I think the great conspiracy would be neat. Being able to play as Roman rebels, Loyal romans, or invading barbars. The arrival of Theodusius after a year that turns the weak roman loyalists into sudden a killing force.

As the Ludi Romani festival goes on in Rome. Troubling news reaches the senate. The veneti a tribe of barbarians Has taken control of most of Illyria. This threatens Rome's new cleint state, the Ardiaei. The senate agrees now is the time to strike against them before they lose their new client state. Additionaly, the veneti lands in Cisalpina will give Rome some natural borders through the Alps. The Legio !

Changing the plan to have the Princepes encircle the enemy, he orders them to do so but they are blocked by the elite Chosen Warriors of the Veneti. It may be a while before the hastati get the help they need.

Inspired however by the presence of Lucius, the general they have fought with in all their campaigns. The Princepes begin to gain the upper hand. Then exploiting a road the veneti left open defended only by Slingers which roman cavalry drove off, the velites and Leves are able to get behind the enemy and throw javelins at their undefended backs.With a terrifying war cry by general Lucius Julius Libo, the chosen swordsmen break The last of the town's defenders are wide open.

Oh for fucks sake really. Fucking really. Thats the 7th fight in one turn that unit is lost, hes still being allowed to retreat even though when a player loses the 2nd time everything dies, hes at 1/5 of one unit card with no lord well below the threshold to disband the entire army

The combined map will be released about a month after the release of the second game, you will need to own both games to play on it.
It will change the old world a bit, adding a refined occupy anywhere that should have been in the game from launch, where you can occupy anywhere but certain regions may offer you very little depending on your race.

There is a substantial ocean between the two halves of the world, but it isn't that distant based on the current scale. CA are also squishing the bottom two continents of game 2 up a bit because there is little happening in the lore at the bottom of them. They're also making the sea slightly less wide.

Finally, there is straight up the continent of not-Atlantis in the middle, which obviously means the ocean is less distant.

CA have explicitly confirmed that all naval battles will be auto-resolve at their E3 interviews.

Eventually only the spear nobles remain. Defending not only their general but their very home they fought valiently. Even with Javelins sticking out of them they continue to fight. But it is not enough the roman numbers overwhelm them and they are slain to a man.

The Helves and the Delves(and the Norscans/Southern Realms, if we get one or the other as the race pack) are all very naval minded and will probably zip across the ocean quicker than the rest. The rest sail fairly slowly.
And hopefully the Rats will have an underground path between the Southlands and Lustria.

They're running a ton of all AI campaign simulations overnight for Warhammer 2's campaign to tweak things so that the AI does different shit most of the time. They would probably encourage the same shit with the combined campaign I'd imagine.

There are five continents total, if you count the first game as the first continent.

Then you have Ulthuan which is not-Atlantis, Lustria, the Southlands and Naggaroth.

Naggaroth sees the least action as it's just defending the north against Chaos, stomping beastmen and greenskins too small to unify, and otherwise all Delf efforts are invading or raiding everywhere else.

Because Ulthuan is in the middle of everything it'll probably see a decent amount of fighting. Hopefully it's not as plot-armored as in the lore.

Southlands is an extension of the old world, so it'll be an extension of the badlands-bowl, with added lizards, skaven and later the KANGZ.

Lustria is in lore very attractive for all the loot to be had there, and most of the existing old faction presence in the new world are outposts in Lustria.

The bottom line is that we can't really be sure. Depends on how they change certain things from the base campaigns to the combined campaigns.
Like as it exists now you might expect Mousillon to confederate with the Vampire Coast and shit. Which will obviously force interaction across continents. But I think they may want to tone down the AI-confederation snowball, or at least scale it with the player.

The veneti then launch their offensive in Illyria. Attempting to cross the river Neretva, they attack the Legio III primagena. The main army is set up at the bridge, only for the venti to cross through a shallow part of the river instead. Forcing the army of mainly heavy princepes to become tired as they march quickly to prevent being outflanked.

artillery is a detriment on defense compared to any units that could replace it, would rather have a garrison unit.

Now the 2 armies both have the river protecting their right flank.The veneti first sent only a couple groups of spearmen no doubt to prevent the tired romans from gaining their breath, auxiliary from the Ardiaei fight with roman princepes to defend their land.

>>182111152
It's just terrible pacing for a battle with a really small scale.
Like the phalanx literally forces a stampede amongst the defenders and at the end they just stand up and look like they're about to say "I'm glad that's over", and then it continues.

It's like an upscaled version of the big Gladiator show fight with the chariots, which as a managed spectacle has reasons to not imitate an actual military engagement.

After that attack is repulsed the veneti commit the rest of their forces. But then the romans reveal their Auxiliary Illyrian cavalry. The cavalry first plow into the slingers, forcing the veneti to send a unit for spearmen away from the frontlines to drive the cavalry off. This frees some princepes to flank the veneti mainline. However the veneti also sneak units past the roman line into the undefended skirmishers.

In recognition of his many victories, new and old a Triumph has been thrown in honor of Lucius Julius Libo. The general has served against the Etruscan, the Carthaginians, and most recently the barbarians of the Cisaplines. The house of the Julii have become the dominant power in Rome under his leadership, but Lucius is growing old already in his 60s. Will the dominance of the Julii continue after his death? Indeed, will the roman republic still grow when he no longer leads the Legio I Italia?

A second battle occured shortly after. The smaller massilian force was ruined. But, his army having begun the campaign in not good condition, Pucuvius quickly amrched them back to patavium to rest. It was clear Pacuvius was not like Lucius. Lucius had never ambushed an enemy and was always seen were the fighting was thickest shouting out orders. Pacuvius was a dishonest, inbred man with a drunk wife an a weak voice which did not carry far. But he was cunning, a true strategist, and handy with money to boot. He will lead the Legio I Italica to glory. Even if most of the legion hates him.

While the reinforcemetns are coming to the walls Pacuvius sends his first wave of men forward. But unlike his predecessor, and unlike all other roman generals. Pacuvius does not send the hastati first. but sends the princepes. He believes that instead of wearing the enemy down with the weak, Having the first be the strongest then have the weak support, not bear the brunt. This reversal of Roman tactics works wonders. By the time the reinforcements arrive many massalians defending the walls are already dead.

Anyone have advice for Chaos campaigns? Trying to finish up all the achievements because I'm subhuman before 2 comes out, and I just want to drill my eyes out because Chaos is so unfun compared to Beastmen. Hopefully with 2 will come some modifications to how they play.

Melee never does friendly fire, missile units always do. Though aim and generally refusing to shoot if obstructed reduces friendly fire a lot.

You typically don't retreat, as retreat is losing dps, reserves are for when you HAVE to fill the gap, like a routing unit. Rather than something you just rotate around.

In the rare instances where you'll fight multiple battles on the one battle map, like turning to face a reinforcing army you'll put stronger units in front typically, but that generally doesn't come up often.

>>182125240
Also make sure to have marauder cav of your own while fighting norscans because otherwise you'll tear your hair out trying to chase them to morale depletion with your other units.

The roman republic is now a truly great power. But that means it cannot suffer any other large expansionist powers. Especially barbaric ones. The Arverni have become the dominant power in gaul but have also pushed deep into Iberia. War with them is inevitable. But Roma's old enemy carthage also controls Iberian land. They no doubt seek to reclaim their old home, war with them is also inevitable. So the question is posed to the senate. Who to attack first? Carthage is weaker, but further away. And attacking the arverni after taking Carthaginian land opens another front. The arverni are currently distracted in germania minor and tarraconosis. But for how long? Nothing is certain save this one thing. Rome will triumph.

2 years of peace passed as the senate debated, and by then the situation had changed. The celtiberian confederation has risen up and taken the Averni's Iberian lands. This confederation admired Rome and they allowed military access in exchange for trading rights. A great boon for the Romans, military access through the celtiberian lands allowed them to march three legions towards Carthaginian Iberia without Carthaginian knowledge.

Since Phillip II of Macedon subjugated Thracians to his will the Odrysians have lurked in the shadows of their former greatness, their spears short and their rhompaiaon dull and brittle. Odoroes is a measured man and praised for his virtue and his bravery by all who meet him - not one has denied his excellence.

One thing they got right in that battle was the scene where all the soldiers were so clumped together they couldn't swing their swords and dead soldiers had no room to fall(and so on). They said the battle was inspired by Cannae, but this one scene was probably the only Cannae thing they got right.

I basically only watch it for the ice zombies now. The rest is just one male Jesus and a female Jesus fighting a Satan queen

Using the giant wrong. Giants are for going after lords together with your own lords/heroes. They are pretty good at supporting a lord fight like that.

At the border between the roman's newly conquered Iberian territory and the Iberian lands belonging to Nova Carthago, 2 armies of Nova Carthago built a fort. Goading the roman's to come face them. The Legio I Italia and the Legio II Antiqua answered. The Legio II were the first to deploy, deploying on a hill overlooking the Carthaginian camp. However what seemed to be a defensive position quickly turned out t be a weakness. As the second Carthaginian army snuck behind them. Meanwhile, the Legio I was on the other side of the battlefield.

Two is good because then you don't lose. Never need more than that.

What do you mean by support?
Because you're always supposed to be negative income as chaos.
You just make a lot more than you lose through conquest.

>>182130273
Nah, they're also useful for outlasting and terror routing large clumps of infantry. Their only downfall is missile fire and other anti-large.
It's why giants are an extremely meta pick against vampires. Lords and heroes will outrun the giant easily, you just stick them in melee and watch them work through two or more grave guard.

I'm talking multiplayer though.

The Carthaginians negligence to bring cavalry of their own proved their downfall. The Gallic auxiliary cavalry were able to perform rear charge after rear charge. But at a cost, the spear armed hoplites took down many cavalry with them. The gap in the roman lines also allowed the slaughter of half the velites. And those that survived had run out of ammo, using it all up while chasing down the fleeing survivors so as to prevent them from rallying and coming back. But there was still the Legio I Italica who were undamaged. However, the fort the remaining army camped in would no doubt bloody them greatly.

As the 2 armies rest just outside the camp. The generals meet. The house of Julii and the house of Cornelii have never seen eye to eye. The Cornelii often jealous of the late Lucius Julius Libo, and the Julii often seeking disproportionate revenge over minor slights. The 2 families agree on only one thing. Carthago delenda est. But even now the fued causes troubles. Naso of the Julii wants the Legio II to deploy at the same time as the Legio I, despite the Legio II having suffered losses. Grachus believes the Legio II should deploy afterwards so the brunt of enemy attention is not on them. With both their bodyguards nearby, the argument nearly turns into violence. Thankfully it is averted when Naso reluctantly agrees to deploy his army first.

Yes, you're generally right.
Some people don't mind Kislev fighting the Empire, I think it's pretty fucked up.
I could see them de-chaosing part of the steppe and returning to their original home maybe, if the map extends far enough east.
They can always do Migration memery as can anyone.

Also WRE might be a better example.
Purely defensive gameplay. Some sort of victory condition like Bretonnia, though I struggle to think up one for Kislev.

As agreed upon Naso's legion goes forth and acquires most of the Carthaginian attention. While Grachus attempts to enter the western entrance facing a smaller force but with already wounded units. The battle is a slog. The romans cannot penetrate the Carthaginian phalanxes formed by the hoplites. While the hoplites cannot push the romans back. Then Naso is struck down by a lucky Carthaginian arrow (though some in the house of Julii claim it was an assassin sent by Grachus). Luckily for Grachus this gives him more control over the battlefield.

Then the Legio I leves run out of ammo. Grachus, not used to commanding a large number of ranged troops simply orders them to try and get through the eastern entranceway. However, when the Carthaginian general gets stuck in combat against the leves. he quickly orders a unit of triarii to support the leves. Poor leves and rich triarii fight as one and slay the Carthaginian general.

So I got Attila instead of Rome 2 from the Summer Sale because Rome 2 was supposedly piss-easy.
Anyone else got surprised that Attila was talked-up to be all about decay, death, desolation, and bleak lands but then starts you off in a lush forest area in the Prologue? I mean this shit could have been reskinned as some kind of mostly humans-only fantasy setting

The battle is won. The dead are tightly packed at the entrances. So many dead. Carthaginians and Romans. Hoplite and Hastati. Husbands, Fathers and sons. All of them dead. This battle will bring grief to many. But, if one looks up they will see the roman flag flying high, and they will know, that all of it, was worth it. For the glory of Rome.

>>182132737
Of those we're not even sure what we'll get.

Skink units are missing so Tehenhauin will probably be Lizard DLC. But in the fashion of the lord packs you would expect Clan Pestilens to be DLC as well.

But then they're the most viable candidate for the base game.

So whether or not we're getting them at start shapes our expectations.

A base faction/grey seers + mors combo might make the most sense for launch.

Turtle in Italy, develop the fuck out of Italy until you can afford armies of reconquest while maintaining defensive stacks in Italy.

Optionally leave passable defensive armies in Carthago Nova/Carthage to make reclaiming Spain and Africa easier.

Burning settlements outside of Italy is objectively better but is only for massive faggots. You can also slow down barbars quite a bit just with defensive garrisons.
