desu this isn't really anything to be proud of in DEI

>>182735654
as much as I like some of the changes in DEI the combat is just babbytier difficulty unless you are fighting some of the more broken factions/units (sabean nobles). TT&T/4tpy makes it worse since it is easy to get a general that gives you infinite ammo or absurd melee stats

Anyone tried this for an Empire playthrough?

It is now July, a chill wind blows in Naggaroth but the sea of malice is beginning to thaw. From Ghrond, a messenger comes bearing word of an ancient prophecy involving the lands of north Lustria. The Hag Queens offer many sacrifices to Khaine, while their underlings train relentlessy. Meanwhile the Druchii of Clar Karod whip their slaves ceaselessly in preparation for the Witch-Kings coming campaign.
A great fleet is being assembled and the armies of the Druchii arm themselves for total war, domination by a best elf soon!

Whos that davy jones motherfucker from the dark elf faction? The guy with the squid face?

Think he'll be the legendary lord added as racepack dlc?

That is an unholy amount of falxmen.

>>182736810
In general DEI is easy because kill rates on frontal engagements are low and armour is very strong. This, along with the slow pace of combat, mean that you have a lot of time for flanking and focus firing units down.

The AI also sucks at doing those two things unless it heavily outnumbers you.

For that battle specifically it was quite easy because their army came in two waves.

The first got mulched by my main line while my cavalry distracted the second half, separated and killed the skirmishers then shot the remainder to death.

They just keep coming. Norscan barbarians keep pouring toward town Erengard to burn it down and sacrifice it brave defenders to their gods. We thwarted their first assault, as you can see remains of the first wave in reinforcing stack, but they just keep throwing bodies at us.

>>182745714
or you are looking at carefully chosen ~in-engine renders~ to market the product and the second game's unit and campaign models is much the same

>>182739793
Usually by turn 40 your horde grows fast enough that getting a second horde isn't that hard, unless you're aiming at making Sigvald or Archaon leader of horde 2

Otherwise you must have pretty high level units if you didn't invest in a second horde, meaning the Norscans are easier for you to rape to death

Will Malekith and best mom have reinforcement buffs like vlad and isabella? What should that buff be?

I don't think Malekith and Morathi have a super great relationship. Isn't there some small dispute between them? Unlike vlad and isabella who are the warhammer romeo and juliet.

Afaik Morathi, even if she is evil af, is a loving mother and actually cares about Malekith. Malekith hates her, but keeps her around cause shes useful.

And then TWW3 to finish fixing them up

>>182745883

I saw the game in person at E3 they were letting some people play the Fallen Gates(TM) quest battle. The models I saw looked gorgeous. Lots of tiny details, crisp textures and a lot of color.

The campaign stuff I didn't see in person but that Ulthuan/Lustria video they put out showed a lot more detail stuffed onto the map than in the first game.

Yeah I wasn't complaining about not having more hordes I usually play Chaos as the second option you mentioned, just one deathball razing my way through the world, if dead it's dead just amused by the level of free money the AI gets on legendary. This campaign I bullied Varg to death and Skaeling then just turned into a deathball of chariots. Then was promptly wiped out by Aesling. Norscans are crazy.

Not like McFarlanelves are better though.

Lore wise, how bad would it suck to live under Vampire rule? The game makes it sound bad with the kinds of buildings you have in the settlements, but on the other hand you don't have to join the military.

>>182750196
Is that how it is in the actual lore? I can't see what daily life is like since the game doesn't show it but I was kind of hoping it wan't that bad across the board.

>>182750082
>Lore wise, how bad would it suck to live under Vampire rule?
Depends entirely on the Vampire.
BloodKnight's woulf be pretty much the same as any Brettonian Overlord, maybe even a bit less exploitative.
There is one Strigoi in the Borderprinces who is actually a pretty kind ruler.

>>182750292

It depends on the vampire, living under Vlad was better than living under Mannfred.

>>182750292

>>182750384
There was an event in-game that allowed me to execute a vampire who was going around killing people indiscriminately too.

The reason I asked is because the vampires seem to think they deserve to be emperor and that requires ruling an empire, not a giant farm. Though I am sure it wouldn't be as nice as the empire run by humans but still.

People didn't mind because under his rule life actually improved, because he wasn't as incompetent as the Draks.

Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to manage diplomacy in Empire total war, it is so god awful with no real options, and literally every time my allies betray me in war only to join in a few turns later when I don't get crushed byt the first stack of doom. Also everyone literally just ganks me without any real reason to do so.

>>182750493
>The reason I asked is because the vampires seem to think they deserve to be emperor and that requires ruling an empire, not a giant farm.
Again, certain Vampire could make for decent rulers, but their influence would still take a toll on the country (not as extreme as in TWW with everything dying, but it would be less nice).

Can someone explain shades to me? There are 3 variants of them

>shades
>shades w/ dual swords
>shades w/ gw

They are described as hybrid inf, but do they lean more towards range or more towards melee?

>>182750519
they are turks, they will claim any important historical figure is a fucking roach

>>182750669
>>182750752
Sweet, now I don't feel as guilty playing as the VCs. The people should be happy they aren't thrown into war like every other faction forces its citizenry to.

>>182750969
>They are described as hybrid inf, but do they lean more towards range or more towards melee?
They'scouts, so probably melee to take out skirmishers.
Depending on the firing rate of the crossbows in game, they might work as ranged, counterbalanced by low ammo.

>>182751052
sure, instead they are thrown into involuntary servitude for their bloodsucking immortal tyrannical overlords and forced to live in a nightmarish land where they never see the sun and are always at risk of being eaten alive by the local wildlife

>>182751052
Keep in mind, denizens of Sylvania are so used to their shitty and harsh life, they really not a very fastidious folk, even slight betterment is good enough for them. Vampires still not very good rulers.

>on the other hand you don't have to join the military
Except you'll just be killed and raised as a zombie if it's deemed necessary. But the point of VC isn't that they're altogether terrible, it's that nothing will ever change under them. If you isolated Sylvania and fast-forwarded 5,000 years, everyone would still live or unlive under the exact same conditions. No faction is entirely "good", but people's living conditions can improve in for example the Empire, since technology and science improves.

I don't fucking get it, I pretty much exclusively play mountain blade, TW games and Paradox games, and I see loads of other people do the same, why is this a trend.

>>182753263
But they predominantly attack and enslave humans.

Absolutely unchivalrous, I hope she steals all your boys.

If it's a competition between him and Malus, Malus wins easily. He's just too popular to pass up
If It's between Him and Hellebron with Malus as FLC at some point or another like I expect, I'd bet on Hellebron but it isn't as decided. Still, Khaine is super important and the Cult of Khaine would be too good to pass up.

He actually looks pretty cool for an elf. Is the book any good? Gav Thorpe tends to be very hit or miss.

Kurgans IIRC.

The material he has to work with is utter shit, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Shit taste isn't exactly rare, friend.

Do Delves ever enslave more dangerous mutants or beings like beastmen or orcs?

>>182750384
Vampires are not real """evil"'" if you know what i mean, they just want eternal rule and life.
Vlad is possibly the most co-operative Lord who is okay with anything as long as he is the one who rules.
If you pledge loyalty then you are okay.
Land will be spooky, undead will walk around and you will probably never see sun again because of clouds but other than that you will lead relatively "normal" life.

>>182753585

Hey, Mount and Blade and some Paradox games hae their merits.

>>182753596

Yeah, they usually end up going straight to the fighting pits or the tannery.

Nah, Scotland but with much less obesity.

>>182753596
There used to be a DE character who set himself a life goal of taming one of every creature in the world, so probably.

Necromancy is inherently evil

>>182753684
They aren't evil in the cartoonish sense à la chaos or orcs, they're evil in the feudal baron sense, in that they have almost indiscriminate power to abuse their subjects if they wish, but don't necessarily do so.

>>182741745
Because it's mostly from artists like Two Steps From Hell or Audiobox who do music specifically for trailers. It's not done by people who make music for the game itself.

>>182753770
Gotta rememeber that the Lore of Vamps makes you a bit crazy tho. Every vamp has feral moments, even Vlad.

Thats pretty evil.
