Why are orcs the worst faction?

Why would you ever not pick Grimnir's Strength while playing the White Dwarf?

It's like a choice between three pretty okay campaign buffs and one huge 'your infantry fuck their infantry' buff.

So what are the sluttiest elves in warhammer barring morathi.

>>182448548
From what I understand it was a auto win for the Tau player as he was the only one to have models active on the table. The other player couldn't deploy anything as his entire army was having to deploy out of reserve.

>>182448548

The White Scars player couldn't deploy any of his models as there was nothing in the rules accounting for the scenario.

He then lost because he passed his turn with no models on the field.

>>Races were meant to fight only against their nemesis (Empire vs Vampires, Dorfs vs Greenskins) though this was fixed after all those dlcs, flcs and updates
do you think these 2 points will be fixed in game 2? they said they removed regional occupation but made it so races would less accustomed to some climates. IE Factions instead will have preferred climates. Settling in an environment that your faction isn't good with will lead to penalties such as increased build times, reduced growth and public order, and so on.

They wanted to avoid a situation where the lizardmen took over Araby or elves took over Lustria

TWW2's design however shows all four races in conflict with one another, so I doubt the one on one type gameplay that was in vanilla TWW1 is part of TWW2

The trailer seems to indicate that while the vortex is in Ulthuan the nodes of power for the vortex are in Lustria or whatever, so I guess all factions are incentivized to go around and fight each other to gain control of shit

This is exactly what i wanted since the first time I heard about that regional occupation in TW:W. And I feel like my second point won't apply to TW:W2 too, since we have all races from 1 and rogue armies to fight against. It seems like they are learning from their mistakes

It's a good thing you can get Amber from alliances, vassalalisations, and quests in addition to confederations. If you do those things in the mini-campaign, don't confederate with any elves that have upgraded their cities to max and maybe conquer one or two other elf kingdoms, you can literally stay in the forest the whole campaign until the final battle.

Is withdrawing from the field EVER a good idea in TW?

No you mongoloid, the point was building a fantasy world where all of the strange and fantastical factions are analogous to real world cultures.

Lizard Aztecs, undead egyptians, magical french knights, fantasy HRE, evil demon vikings, etc.

Warhammer Fantasy being a fantasy world that the average customer/reader can easily understand and relate to through knowledge of the real world isn't a flaw, it's one of the setting's biggest strengths.

Especially since it was built to support a wargame where you pick your favorite faction and battle them against other factions.

>>182465689

>>182465689
WOW AND DID YOU KNOW THE LORD OF THE RINGS IS ANCIENT EARTH AND VAGUELY LOOKS LIKE EUROPE

Maximum fucking overkek

Not only are 80% of the 40k faction just "[Insert Fantasy Race] BUT IN SPAAAAAACE" but even the ones that aren't are clearly based on some obvious pop-culture shit like Tyranids just being Starship Troopers mixed with Xenomorphs.

40k nailed aesthetics. Space Marines are goddamn iconic at this point. Fantasy is less popular as a genre than science fiction. And ruleset of 40k is much more user-friendly than bulky fantasy formations. And like other anon stated, there is still lots of callbacks to the familiar settings. Just take a Commissar, or IG that looks like USSR on steroids.

No, he made a point of not making the story allegorical, not even remotely the same thing.

>In the novels it is always represented by the Mercian dialect of Old English, because Tolkien saw the relationship between Rohirric and the Common Speech to be similar to that of Old English and Modern English, which was used to represent Westron. Only a few actual Rohirric words are given by Tolkien: kûd-dûkan, an old word meaning "hole-dweller" which led to kuduk, the name the Hobbits had for themselves. Even these terms were translated in the book: "hobbit" is said to derive from the Old English word holbytla, or hole-builder.

We should have destroyed Norsca, every man woman and child, many years ago!

*shouting*

Enough! Dietershafen is lost, and our northern allies have failed us. Where was the last report of his whereabouts?

My Witch Hunters tell me that his forces have moved to the east, we must expect an attack on Erengrad!

This is nonsense, no attack is coming - Kislev controls Troll Country. He's not attacking, he's making allies! At this very moment he courts the One-Eye, the Beastmen! The warherds will rise up against us and the Drakwald will be lost once more!

Ridiculous! Middenland won't stand for it! Our forces have sole military access to their forests. I believe the attack will come from the Chaos Wastes themselves - he intends to travel across the World's Edge Mountains, and into Ostermark - Sylvania will revolt, and sweep across from the east

Thats wild speculation!

He will come not from the north, nor the east - our traders in the south report that he has forged an alliance with the tribes of the Bjornling. He intends to circumnavigate the Empire and sail his army-

To the Badlands perhaps!

He would lose half his army to attrition alone! The other half would desert!

We must defend Blackfire Pass!

Do you expect the orcs to welcome him when he arrives?

I suppose he will bring with him, an army of Chariots!

Elector Counts, I dare say that would be quite a feat, even for the great Surtha Ek.

>>182473754

GW's expectations for Warhammer Fantasy were always unreasonable.

The rules themselves were the barrier, the game could never have gotten more popular than it was with the Entry-barrier as fucking impossible as it was.

WHFB required you to buy and paint giant blobs of dull infantry to make up your army. The game was about a decade overdue for a complete rule overhaul.

Which is why I will actually say, despite how much I hate Age of Skubmar as a setting, it is still FAR superior to WHFB as a ruleset, you can actually pick out the models you like and just fucking play with them.

Eh, 40k 8th definitely did the concept much better.
Had WHFB got the 8th treatment (slim down the rules but keep the core concepts, make it easier to play and also more balanced, keep the lore but add onto it) it'd be a far better system IMO.

>>182474241
GW already made minis for most of the armies of Middle Earth, so TW: LotR would be possible.

>implying malekith isn't going to trip and fall

>>182475782

>Is WH2 going to have actual ships with auto resolve like older TW games

From what I've understood this is what's happening, yes.

I would have liked to see another attempt at naval combat I actually enjoyed it in Empire but I guess CA decided not to waste resources on something 99% of the fanbase seems to hate

Are the TW1 factions getting victory videos in 2? Or has nothing been stated besides the races from the second are getting videos?

>>182475782
only autoresolve

>>182475782
Well they said that the addition of the final race pack for warhammer 1 will introduce a gameplay change that benefits all factions. Now this could mean just that cities get 8 slots now, towns 6 etc etc like they said or that ship based combat is finally on the menu

>>182475152
This cinematic is going to be one of the good ones wasn't it.

Why do the Delves get such a good trailer but the Lizardmen get the worst one in Total War history?

It's only memorable for that sexy skink.

Age of Sigmar is the absolute worst tho. Playing with nothing but clusters of oversized infantry in a skirmish formation with a grossly inflated attacks as an excuse to throw more dice for less cash is the worst form of fanservice. What's worse, it's fanservice for 40k fans, not Fantasy fans.

>>182475979

Probably not. The trait explainations that Bretonnia have and all the TWW2 races will aren't even coming to TWW1, combined map only. Some modder had to do it for TWW1.

Sorry! Darren deleted the video file so we had to re-render it.

People don't like naval plus they may not have had a choice because GW wanted to keep ships for the Man O'War game that's out now

How do I enjoy other races after playing Isabella? Every other race feels so pathetic and underpowered.

>>182476372
>People don't like naval

Because it was legitimately trash in Shogun and Rome.

WH could have nice naval combat since every race would have different ships not reskins.

Right then, I'll just uninstall this shit. I actually fell for that one faggots meme about ship fights being good, but this is fucking top grade garbage. In no way does it make any fucking sense that bunch of goat fucking ragheads could win a fleet of seasoned sailors, but this is exactly how badly this marine combat is done here. Since I have literally no room to manouver thanks to the marine battlefield being so small all they have to do is get near me and suddenly win by boarding, because you know goat shaggers totally can do marine combat and board ships effectively.

>>182476729
Dedicated marine units murder land troops on transports though, what are you doing?

People have been complaining about that a lot. Way 1 is to get an agent and level him specifically to protect your armies and assassinate them.

Way 2 is to mod it. But then you're a filthy casual

I agree with him desu

>>182477190
You build your own agents to kill their agents? Never had to do it in S2, in R2 I had some problems with enemy agents when I was against 3 allied minors, I started building my agents differently and never had a problem again.
