It doens't matter how they work, that's seperate to whether Dark riders can fire them while moving. The reason they gave in the reveal stream was that Dark Riders aren't trained to be able to fire while moving, which is bullshit. In the lore they are expert missle cav.

Repeater crossbows are high-fire rate ap missile weapons; light cav firing those on the move might just be a bit much.

And on the lore side; loading and shooting one of those is probably a tad more complicated than firing a bow.

I stopped playing around time beastmen came and now after installing again and playing for a week, this is really shaping to be the best TW game ever made.

They made magic much better, they made campaign AI much better and all those new factions and leaders make campaign much more fun in general.

If we really get norsca and then kislev and maybe tilea/estalia later it's going to be so good.

And I'm glad that vamps are still the best army by far.

I love TWW but I dunno about best ever. "One of" the best, maybe. The sieges, AI still being dumb in battle and the occasionally retarded recruitment (Chariot spam) and the lack of some of the most basic animations (like towers not actually collapsing, something Medieval 2 had) prevent it from being the best.

Now two of those can be more or less fixed with mods but that the community has to do that is pretty bad.

Every single fight I feel like my units are fucking downs syndrome retards who can't do basic actions

I tell them to flank around, they get stuck nonstop for like 3 minutes within eachother then finally I settle for a shit half flank where my units are kind of stuck in eachother or never actually move around

that's all I want, when I select them to go behind the enemies they won't do it

Still the best. Sieges have never been good and the AI was even worse in past titles. AI recruitment sucks but is easily fixed by mods and who gives a shit about some minor shit like how towers explode.

No other total war game comes close, and warhammer is only 1/3rd of the way done.

It's kind of strange that high elves don't use them too in lore. They have the same repeating tech with their ballistas being basically the same thing as delf ones.

You have to manoeuvre them into more lateral space if you want to flank. You can't move a group of men on a dime. Start the flanker wider, on the flank. Then move him around to the rear and engage.

So if norsca dlc is real it's pretty much confirmed that we'll be getting all minor factions right?

Eh, sieges in the past were, and still mostly are in TWW, fun if you were the defender, IMO. And it's hard to see them making the sieges literally just be one or two walls as anything but a step back. I actually dislike Attila but the one thing that game did right was the sieges.

You're probably right about the AI in the past titles now that I think about it, though it would be nice if they could improve it. I'm not a programmer, however, so that's probably a taller order than I or most people think. At least the AI seems to go after your ranged units more aggresively in TWW, so that's something.

And it is true that Warhammer races actually being quite different is a big plus. Shogun 2, a TW I otherwise love, had a big problem when it came to that.

Looking into how real world repeater crossbows """work""" they don't make sense from a reality perspective either (underpowered dart lobbers all,) but hey it's a fantasy game.

>>182852730
Sure it makes sense. Like Malekith's armor, the design is borrowed from the dwarfs. Most of the elven territories in the old world, who would be in contact with and bartering with the dwarfs, were founded through Malekith's conquest. They were loyal to Naggarythe, and unlike the complacent high elves, were be interested in making their military more powerful. So they would be the ones actively perusing deals in military technology, or if need be, reverse engineering dwarf weapons.

Thematically it is representative of the stagnation of the high elves.

>>182853197
Ghorst was barely in the fluff. It was CA's first DLC, before they found their mojo with Skarsnik and Belegar. It's been all diamonds since, but the choice of Ghorst is reminder of early directional issues.

To revise what I said in my previous post, some of the siege battles in Attila and Rome 2 were actually pretty great. But you never get the chance to play them in campaign, so I don't consider them when grading the siege battles in those games. Instead 99% of siege battles are spent on the same 5 little maps, holding the ramp to the town square against innumerable amounts of enemies with your 1 or 2 garrison troops in defensive testudo, which sucks.

Warhammer sieges, though they're hardly perfect, will probably be my favourite once GCCM gets done making their maps. The pathfinding might occasionally be a bit fucked, even if it's better than past titles, but I'll take it if it means I won't see the same two maps all the time.

That probably a good way to summarize TWW for me: if the modders keep it up, it'll be my favourite. What that says about CAs work, though, I don't know. I understand that unlike the modders they have to actually make all the animations and assets but stuff like the AI recruitment really shouldn't have had to be fixed by the fans.

Why? Its true that radious does some things that are not that lore friendly. But on the other hand vampires can now make some human units which makes sense lorewise. Also if you look at the warriors of chaos they all got their Chosen champions from every chaosgod. So its not all that bad. Why are people so much against radious?

>>182861054
Why not? They deal more damage, it's probably meant to compensate for that.

It's an amazing game. As someone who's been playing FPS on PC since more than 20 years I'd rate the gameplay as a 9/10. Responsive, precise, fast paced and heavily relying on skill.

It's better if you have friends to play with as the average ccop game player is always garbage but it's still worth playing even if you don't.

>>182862008

>>182861749
Do you like L4D gameplay? It isn't the exact same but in basics it is. Worth mentioning you won't be going near Cataclysm difficulty until the 60-70 levels.

Im gonna play a chaos campaign. I know everybody says it sucks but ive had the DLC for months now so i might as well try it sometime. Is there anything i should do to make it a little more bearable?

>>182862181
not really - the biggest problem with it is that the majority of the battles you fight will be sieges, and sieges blow chunks in tww. You could get one of the mods that changes the siege maps for each settlement, but even then you still have to fight every siege battle twice for money

>>182862008
Might be cool

>>182861572
Because it eliminates the weaknesses of each faction and that dilutes their strengths at the same time. Every faction can play the exact same at that point and it becomes boring to play as or against.

Not completely, I mean sure you have some unique units here and there. But all in all it isn't that bad. You still have your stereotypical dwarven, elven or human armies or whatever. Unless you as a player really want to have a vampire army full of archers. But then its your own fault.

I have played very little, mostly just gone through the stats in custom battles, and there were a few things that threw me off.

Battle pilgrims being unbreakable.
Yeomen being immune or very resistant to fatigue.
Hand gunners launching infantry 20 metres through the air.

This was some months ago, and I haven't played it since, but small (and in my opinion bad) changes like these were making me decide against the mod.

>>182861572
For one, it basically removes every factions weakness. I mean look at your screenshot, Vampires with archers, elite high quality infantry, things they purposefully do not have so as to make them unique. Then there are obviously some extremely dumb decisions that shit on lore or are just retarded(Looking at Hammerers with Shields here).

If you want human units for Vampires Cataph has a mod for that that adds some basic Sylvanian levies(including even an archer, though low quality). For Chaos I'd just wait till game 3 when they get expanded upon.

>>182861470
That's because they get the fucking massively OP poison

>>182863890
I like it. No unit feels like it is too much if you know what I mean, besides the dismounted Knights but they are very late game and expensive(and also not very good either). I like the campaign and unit balancing personally. Certain units are closer to how they would feel in the lore.

>>182864651
Main issues are lack of compatibility with most mods, due to of nature of it being a massive overhaul. You also may or not be a fan new units added to Empire and Bretonnia for example, Crossbow for Brets just irks me a bit, even if it was in some edition I think. They also plan to add new units to other races. I also dislike how they swapped shield away from the Empire generals and gave them pistol instead.

But I personally like unit balance changes and how battles go. Especially adore changes influenced by lore, like Grail Knights are not 60 strong regiments anymore, but a band of 26 extremely powerful demigods.

>>182861054
Probably to make them weaker in prolonged melee. Remember melee attack doesn't mean damage

Sadly, i wasn't able to make it.

First wave hit hard, but i managed to focus fire all the giants pretty quickly. Sadly, not even greatswords could withstand so many chaos warriors, and my lines melted like butter.

Meanwhile, I managed to kill Kholek, Archaon and some other general and hero with my flying force. When my generals were finally able to join the main battle, tides started turning in my favor. Reinforcements came, and i was able to kill many high value targets like trolls and warriors.

Sadly, after such a bloody battle, my battered forces were in no shape to kill off marauder spam that came late into the battle. Also, most of the hellcacnons arrived with marauders, and chain routed my forces.

Overall, it's a strategic victory, i killed all their leadrship, and only Volkmar bit the dust from my side (oh, and amber wizard, who exploded himself while casting). Gelt and my other general are nearby, and can mop up remaining chaos forces. Only birb and few generic chaos stacks left, but they are separated and vulnurable.

As a sidenote, hellcannons seems to be buggy as fuck. It takes a long ass time to kill the crews. It looks like your dudes try to attack hellcanon itself, and ignore the crew when possible.

No they weren't. High leadership in comparison with the rest of the Bretonnian forces sure but not unbreakable.

You might be confusing them with flagellants

I think it's best to just try the mod in custom battles, there was definitely some stuff I liked. They added some new original units for the Empire recently though I think, so that may be another hurdle to get into the mod.

>>182866438
No, they were frenzied and had fairly high leadership. They are obviously meant to be used in combination with a reliquary for a fairly decent infantry line, but still able to rout.

>>182867026

Yeah.

Yeah ok CA.

What are Cholesterol Buneaters? Oh and no, slayers are really crappy. Depends in which situation. Of course against monsters and cavalry they are fairly good but against every other kind of infantry they blow hard.

>>182875230

The Beastmen stand alone campaign isn't very good. No scripted events or special conditions to make it interesting. Wood Elf minicampaign is much better, has an acutal special climactic battle and it's map is much better and more detailed.

Course, that doesn't matter if you don't like playing Elves.

Well, Morathi hired one Hung tribe for DE invasion on Ulthuan. Durring their sail their leader start thinking that is warriors wouldn't survive before they reach the Ulthuan's shores

It's an extremely underrated game, you could have trouble finding players if you live in odd places but EU is still populated enough.

If you install the QoL mod, bots becomes better than 90% of players.

Is this seriously supposed to be like this? I haven't had nearly this much trouble with any other campaign. Fuck, the Empire was easier than this. That felt like being surrounded by potential enemies. This is like trying to take down one single motherfucker who activated god mode cheats.

>>182876396
Autoresolve? I couldn't fight anything. None of those armies were mine. I can't fucking do anything about it if the AI just casually cheats their way around.

Boat technology to encourage costal raiding and sacking.

Cakes. Fuck them and their goddamn worries, you have real enemies to fight.

>>182877576
To be fair though, Manny is a pretty real enemy.

>>182877909
Yeah, good luck getting those in the first 10 turns.

>>182876020
Yup, just finished up a sex scene where a lesbian converts to the dick with what can only be referred to as a reverse mating press. Plot is planned for the next update.

>>182877992
ye beat da stunties by bringin' lotsa boyz, then ye MOB'EM

>>182877437
Because Dwarven females are the most valuable resource of all for the Dwarfs. Not for your fuckboy eyes.

>>182877437
Shortstack fetishism is a relatively recent thing.

wot

you bring alot of regular orb boyz and you just completely surround them, that's how you beat dwarf early game

>>182878273
>Say three units of cavalry couldn't take down quarrellers

Just shut the fuck up already. And stop avatarfagging you attentionwhore.

Just report the vampire loli wannabe and move on guys.

Are you sure they were in a fresh state? You didn't forget to disable force march or something?

>Fucking greenskin archers, AKA. the worst fucking archers in the game

>lmao just use a shitload of archers, and also outnumber them with boyz and also use ranged cavalry and, and, since you have infinite money and are going to use it on the very units that the dwarves counter hardest, I-I dunno, buy yourself a fucking gun and kill yourself

You have no fucking idea how this game works do you?.

I managed to conquer Kara Norn and Grimhold fairly easy by using said tactics.

Besides why were my posts deleted, I mean sure I was joking around a bit but its not like it wasn't fitting to the game.

>>182879913
Read the rules.

>>182879913
Avatarfagging is against the rule you know. Doesn't matter whether it's "fitting" or not.

Protip: It wasn't. Just because there's vampires in the game doesn't mean random vampire loli #216 is related.

>>182880123
>>182880105

Wasn't avatarfagging though, this was shitposting to piss of some people on this thread with anime talk. That is a major difference!

>>182880123

The vampire loli was just a way to make clear that I'm currently playing vampires. Anyway the posts that I made were intended to be helpful, nevermind all the shitposting. Using trolls, savage boyz or a whole lot of archers take down dwarves fairly effective.
