Yeah but how cool is that for a name?
"Nagash"
it echoes eternally with even a whisper
Name a more based Empire.
>>183230107
A FUCKING ANCHOR
For a name like WOOD elves, it's actually useless to use them in the woods lel. All of my archer arrows keep hitting the tress, and no amount of buffs can help that. Is there a mod that lets arrows ignore them, it would make this play through 100x more fun.
How to win as brettonia
>pick fay enchantress

>have a grail relique nearby

>>183230560
no because ca is too incompetent to just code them to ignore tree physics, so the welfs are actually fucking trash in the woods
>>183229757
Yeah deleting some stuff from my pc seems to have fixed it
>>183230826
Nice, now keep it that way.
>>183231097
Vampires really are favoured by CA tho. As cool as a proper Mousillon would be,greenskins not zoggin' umiesneed more love.

Todbringer what the fuck are you doing?
any idea what this is gonna be? age of arthur/brytenwalda style campaign pack?
Reminder we must gas all history/fantasy partisans, furries and /pol/tard infiltrators.
>>183231396
Greenskins already have 3 playable factions. They are the least in need of love.
how the fuck do i do this

To be fair the amount of stuff they've given the Vampire Cunts is ridiculous
>>183232043
it'd be better than a wrath of sparta in scandinavia, or the main campaign and aoc with just various flavors of germans. at least in britain we can have some faction diversity with romano-british,saxons,jutes,picts,and irsh

Unit counts:
> Empire: 23 (20 base +3 DLC)
> Vamps: 22 (17 base +4 DLC, 1 FLC)
Generic character counts:
> Empire: 11 (7 base +1 DLC, 3 FLC)
> Vamps: 8 (6 base +1 DLC, 1 FLC)
Legendary lord counts incl. Boris and Duke:
> Empire: 4 (2 base +2 DLC)
> Vamps: 6 (2 base +2 DLC, 2 FLC)
I agree that the Empire really needs more stuff but most of the attention VC have gotten is just playing catch-up.
>>183233765
Well yeah, they'd just swarm them in chinks
>>183233189

>>183234092
Two more legendary lords than the Empire, one of which is the worst LL in the game (Kemmler) and another of which is an even more genericified character than Alberic or Boris (Red Duke). They're nice models but not much is gained through either of them.

china didn't even have cav until like 1000 years later than everyone else.
>>183234902
Delet these lies.
>>183233840
>most of the attention VC have gotten is just playing catch-up.
Oh you think? God forbid CA touch up a faction with no fucking ranged units.
>>183233396
Holy vows.
>>183234950
>200 bc
>still using chariots
how will they ever recover
>>183234902
Horses were for barbarians
>>183233840
Empire just needs some subfactions, more starts...
>>183230030
Is this boat the stupidest thing GW ever came up with?
>>183234419
Don't forget Ghorst. The literally who that nobody asked for or wanted.
>>183235521
ghorst turned out pretty fun though
What year do you think Total War China will release?
>>183235372
Yeah, of course. I want a proper Middenland, with its own events and mechanics.
>>183235521I like him.
>>183235658
year of the monkey
>>183235224
barbarians that kicked their collective asses for millennia
>>183229773
WRONG
>>183230107
what is this image supposed to be.
I see two bunnies having a chat under a patio umbrella.
>>183235917
Yes that's the point, they hated barbarians and everything about barbarians. Especially the means by which they achieved their pillaging: Horses.
>>183231396
3 playable races and the most units of any faction.
Greenskins have plenty of love if not the most love since not even vamps have more start positions.
>>183236167
Chinese are the true barbarians though. Have you ever come across a group of Chinese tourists?
>>183236167
which, again, makes them a technological laughing stock, regardless of their petty reason.
and they couldn't even stick it out, they eventually used cav themselves.
>>183236241
Greenskins have some pretty interesting units missing
They also have the most useless units on their roster. Would like to see them buffed to the point of being useful.
>>183231602
Looks like vikings to me. I hope they add a system where we can choose which Norse god to worship and then we can call upon their powers on the campaign map and summon them during battle.
And before any of you say anything, this is historical fact.
>>183236437
yeah but they're not hurting for it. Also i wouldn't call some orc units useless, just situational. its a very versatile roster.
Sure pump wagons and spear chuckas would be nice along with a few more hero options. but i definitely think empire needs another start position before anything else. And i say that as some one who prefers orcs to empire.
Stream tomorrow?
>Total War China: Warring States Period
> Light cavalry is a tier 4 unit that takes 80+ turns to research.

I can't wait.
I finally got wardancers
>send them to attack some beastmen
>each stack kills like 150
wew
>>183237063
Actually China's spearmen armies were professional, not levies!
>>183229773
but that's not true
>>183237348
They're deadly but fragile. Just like real women...
>>183237350
you are professional
>>183237350
not in the warring state period, they were drafted peasants.
because they finally figured out massed spearmen were better than nobles on chariots... 500 years later than everyone else.
>>183230560
biggest problem with the faction
>>183237682
Thank you. You are professional too.
>>183237063
I'm hyped for Wushu Swordsmen unit. Or Shaolin monk unit and you pick what style they train in before recruiting them.
>>183237774
Biggest problem is that it's led by a mouthbreathing goatman with a speech impediment.
>>183237898
not in the warring states period you're not
>>183237898
How about Boxer rebellion china? Thatd be a pretty nice total war
>>183238101
Jeez !! This Warring States period is starting to sound more like a .... Boring States period !!
>>183237063
Can't wait for spears and gun. Also that other gun that fires further.
>>183237664
I set this ambush and sent like 4 of these against their unknowing asses
It's funny, even without penises they still raped beastman ass
Am I the only one who hates the fantasy stuff. I don't hate warhammer but it just doesn't do it for me
Fucking Hiroshima fix the server
Why hasn't any info been released on the skaven? They were hinted at when the announcement trailer hot. Is it not coming with the lizardman/delves/helves?
What if Total War China won't actually be a historical title? What if it's actually...
Total War: Dynasty Warriors?!?!?
It'd be so fucking awesome, guys
i'm sad there isn't a "not" Ancient Greece in Warhammer.
Hoplites and greek mythology stuff would be so cool in this setting.
>>183238991
they'll be the next trailer because we need more high elf bashing
>>183238614
yes
>>183238614
I agree but not to the level of hating it, but it doesn't have the extra oomph of knowing you're playing in periods that actually happened and using people and units that actually existed. Historical with some fantasy elements are ok though.
>>183239012
Tilea has some units like that, but I agree that it would be cool to give them more focus. Maybe assign a fantasy race their aesthetic like Babylon and Chorfs.
>>183238614
Its really fucking gay, it's got all these crossboarders and infiltrators from other generals and other fanbases and I FUCKING MISS the old comfy historical total war folk and ESPECIALLY the youtube videos like PrinceofMacedon and HairofCarthig who have now become FANTASY KEK sellouts
>>183239348
>and ESPECIALLY the youtube
kys
>>183213137
I really wish they'd add in more units like this to spice up the siege battles.
>>183238991
HERP DERP WHO BE THE SKAVEN?!
>>183239010
The AI 'march' stance dickery will mean that you literally can't pursue Lu Bu!
Or can't catch him at least, I guess.
So uh, who's Krell?
>>183231602
>tfw it's probably going to be vikangz
I wanted a Rise of Islam dlc though realistically I knew that wasn't going to happen
>>183239745
Undead Chaos Champion. Kemmler likes to think that Krell's his puppet, but Krell's true loyalties are somewhat more complex. Ironically, Kemmler eventually sided with Chaos whereas Krell sided with Nagash.
>>183239012
Tilea has Remas, which has late-Roman pike units.
>>183239874
>ironically
>theres nothing particularly ironic about it
fuck off redditor
>>183239937
>Remas
Are you fucking serious.
>>183238614
If you hate pointy and edgy armour just play as bretonnia or any human faction. To be honest, bretonnian armours are /fa/ af
>>183233765
Except the one where Germanic kingdoms took over Rome and fought amongst themselves for hundreds of years until they got so strong they hooked all of chi a on opium

They can't afford it, you can see their attrition damage. The armies are huge but all the units should be low health.
>>183242463
the empire is basically HRE, rite?
>>183243008
>I WANT A JABBERSLYTHE
Why? The worst beastmeme unit, looks like shit, 8th edition fuck-up,
tfw no Knights of the Empire d/flc
>>183244276
That's actually from Chaos Corruption due to beastmen, not from bankruptcy. All their stuff is max tier and they will be coming for me soon enough.
>>183243521
Which is why you build siege equipment to shield your troops. What is essentially an elevated artillery piece killing one low tier spearman unit in a matter of minutes isn't that great anyways.
History and fantasy living in harmonythe arrival of Krell means this is true.
>>183242603
about as historical as rome 1 really
>>183239010
>>183244590
Are you sure it's not upkeep as well? I've seen larger-sized teams with less armies, still taking upkeep attrition.
>>183232036
Starve them out with 2 armies, if they sally they're ded meet
>>183239010
Well considering the predominating concept of history of that time period is that some of the Tiger Generals single handedly rode through enemy lines and rode back to save a baby while fleeing a castle, I don't know how they could make anything else.
Chinese Generals in history are hardcore bad motherfuckers. They're like super heroes.
>>183232036
>>183232208
Lots of cavalry and swordsmen?
>>183245502
implying 99.9% of Chinese "historians" and "sources" aren't full of shit about the Three Kingdoms.
>>183244961
I bet you're sooo fucking happy
>>183233189
I love historyfags. It would be a shame to limit Total War mechanics to history alone when it clearly works so well with fantasy content.
>>183245502
>some of the Tiger Generals single handedly rode through enemy lines and rode back to save a baby while fleeing a castle
Yeah knowing the Chinese I bet that really happened
>>183245738
You're just jelly none of your european generals did the same awesome shit.
>>183245784
historyfags are great
they helped me realize the appeal of cuckoldry
I basically never played a total war in my life, came into warhammer, enjoyed the fuck out of it, posted on reddit, made videos, and now hear that CA are focusing all their efforts on TW2 and TW3 and basically giving a cheap atilla clone to placate the historyfags under the moniker of "SAGAS"
Fucking lol
I feast on their tears
>>183245963
Alexander the Great did cool shit like that.
and that was more likely to be real too.
>>183245881
It actually did, though. That's why the next ruler was retarded.
>>183245305
You know, you might be right.
This province has more than 50% Chaos Corruption, but they also only have three settlements, making about 9000 gold per turn from those.
>>183245778
I actually had no real stake in the race, the reason I started the krellposting because I've always liked his model but didn't expect it to actually be Krell despite being a valid option.The harmonyposting came out of the constant shitposting that followed WH2's announcement trailer.Doesn't mean I'm not pleased Krell's going to show up though, but I'm just as pleased about the content everybody else is getting.

Don't forget that Chairman Mao defeated Imperial Japan too

I voted for this guy!
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 Karond 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/FIMIR soon!

Holy dumb fuck this is the only time I've ever seen the game generate an acceptable formation
>>183246284
The coolest thing a Chinese general ever did was maybe run down a few fleeing peasants in his chariot (good job being the last people on earth to realize those suck btw).
>>183246690
What about that Chinese general who genocided his entire province of all Chinese people, the "Kill Kill Kill" stele guy? Credit where credit is due.
>>183246019
Every time I turn on TOTAL WARHAMMER I feel joy. It's so aesthetic and fun. I can tell CA was getting burnt out on rehashing the same old shit and you can see it in just how ambitious they are with this trilogy. You can tell they actually enjoy what they're doing.

Commie revisionism. Modern Chinese Communists tried to reframe him as a noble peasant revolutionary, and that genocide isn't really a bad thing because class enemies.

ive been playing a wood elf campaign as tree hitler and i gotta say, he's capable of walking the walk
struts up to a dwarf capital with a bunch of chaff, punches down the gate, the chaff keeps part of the army busy while he smashes 650 dwarves into the dirt on his lonesome
one of these days a soldier is going to throw a match at him tho and itll be all over
>>183248907
Gotta somehow weaken them mate. For example, them being in war with somebody can really scare them. If you have a military alliance, you can force the matter by declaring war on some far away faction. Or their army getting rekt somehow.
>>183248790
>the Dead Rise again
>you win the next battle
Why are the VCs considered hard again?
>>183248790
Get some Zombies to slow the chariots down. Then kill the chariots with ghouls, spearmen, etc. Anti-large and poison are the priorities. Use Vargheists or Direwolves to kill missile cavalry. Need something fast to catch them. The rest of those chumps should be ez mode. Marauders have low leadership,krump the gits from the sides and backs and they'll run home to momma.
Just remember, Norsca is going to be even scarier with Dragons, Mammoths, Fimir, and other horrors. Prep your boipucci, vampire boi.

Chaos/Vampires probably. Chaos has a hilariously easy win condition if you're just in it for the achievement and Vampire deathballs are never not ridiculous.
How do people handle Chaos when they are the Empire? My first campaign was the VCs and I abused vampiric corruption by blocking their armies, baiting attacks and fleeing, etc. all to make them take as much damage as possible before fighting them. And even with mostly grave guards with great weapons I found the chaos warriors were pretty hardy.

Unbreakable units don't really matter once you get to the End Times Chaos invasions. Your unit buffs for Imperial troops are so much that they probably won't route anyways if they're properly managed. Besides, Chosen's melee attack is so high they'll hack through flagellants or Sigmar's sons in seconds.
Handgunners require too much micro and TLC to be worth it in battle. Crossbows are a better pick, and artillery an even better pick.
For cavalry and artillery, anti-large and armor piercing are key when fighting chaos. You need Reiksgard or Demigryphs to even pose a threat to Chosen infantry. Hellstorm Rockets are too risky and can hurt your own troops. Mortar is too weak. You should really only go for steam tanks, cannons, or hellfire volleyguns.

thanks lad
>>183253248
Depends what you want to do really. He's not great in combat, he's more for a support role. So when you do engage have him go in with other units as support.
I mostly go for his red skills/yellow skills. Scarred Veteran works well for when he gets the jade griffin, get the reds for what ever units you plan to use. He's good at surviving and giving buffs so try to make those the best you can, make his strengths stronger.
>>183253716
Make a meme army of all halberdiers, luminarks, and a light wizard. Net of alphabet the chaos shitters and then bully them with the power of hysh.
>>183253716
Cannons are great against large and/or armored targets. Rocket batteries are great against blobs. Mortars are a weaker middle ground between the two but you need to alt+click target with them for best effect.
Volley Guns will absolutely shred heavy infantry but will require a checkerboard formation for maximum effect. Risk/reward ratio can be questionable. They're also about as good as cannons at putting monsters in the dirt.

Wulfrik is probably gonna be the best duelist in the game, or at least he should be. Many of his previewed abilities are net abilities to pick out lord targets, increased damage against lords, etc. You'd need Durthu or Kholek to knock him on his ass in order for it to be a fair fight.

Archaeon is ironically too intelligent to lose that fight, even if Wulfrik may be a better fighter. The Everchosen can see the future after all, among other things.
Also while some of the chaos gods might betray Archaeon in that fight because it would be fun to them, not all of them would. So the more favored of the gods wins.

>>183256842
>if I just bigger horns surely they'll like me
>>183256370
Not only is it Krell, they are actively telling us to "lower our expectations" meaning it is probably something ridiculously minor like a unique summon spell for Kemmler or something.
>>183251269

>>183257428
He's going to be neither apparently.
>>183257428
Considering they've told us to keep our hopes down, I'm imagining it's an update to Kemmler that gives him summon Krell as a spell. So, he can only ever be present on the battlefield.
I'd also imagine his stats are going to land somewhere between Grimgor and a Wight King.
>>183257515
Where did you get this knowledge?
>>183257704

>>183257704
If Krell is "Old Friend", then he isn't a lord, a hero, or a faction. Expect something like Kemmler's Raise Dead to be replaced with Summon Krell.

The only way I would find this acceptable is if it's some huge thing in terms of a battle, such that a cutscene plays where Krell enters onto the map with some badass entrance and music, does a pose or something to point out the enemy commander, and runs in to join the fray. After which the cutscene ends and the battle resumes.

>>183261010
Dunno, they haven't really blobbed into the Empire. I was playing the Empire myself and I kept Nordland alive so that I didn't have to deal with Norscan shits and with the empire at peace they were dicking around in Northern Kislev for quite a while holding a few settlements, so maybe that just gave the Kislevites the breathing room they needed.
Regardless I'm pretty upset that I didn't get to fight a single Chaos army.
>>183259365
theyd just have to nerf Krell or both which would be a shame since Krell is the most badass melee lord in the setting. Don't see them making khornate grave guard any time soon though
I am never going to understand why normies don't like this weapon.

That's how he did it in the lore, he gathered up all the necromancers he could find and made them raise armies for him. Make up for his lack of magic by making him stronger in combat. For his gear give him the Waldenhof sword and have it make him complete rape against anything large. Maybe throw in some bonuses to Blood and Black Knights as well, since he was allied with Blood Keep and made a few groups of his own.Possibly make him a horde LL and start him off fighting with Zufbar, since Konrad was the only Von Carstein to actually go to war with all those dwarfs squatting in the mountains behind Sylvannia.
I know one of them is anti-large and the other anti-infantry but generally speaking, which chicken riders should I get? Halberds or normals?
>>183262671
Halberds for charge-rape, default for stay-in-combat-after-charge-rape.
>>183262704
S-so fast! And thank you
well that looks nice
well except for the jaggies
>>183262813
certainly a lot of troops
tfw you pull up a fodder stack to a siege and recklessly overwhelm the walls with superior numbers
>>183262162
Just think.
In one month, instead of those 3 stacks being marauders and chariots they'll be chaos mammoths and Fimir and Ice wyrms.
Enough talk. Post CHAOS, DESTRUCTION, BLOOD, MURDER, MASSACRE.

Does anybody play TWW in directx 12 mode? Is there any benefit of doing this?
>>183263373
If you use AMD, yes, otherwise 11 is faster.
>>183251193
Maybe bring a Silver Bullets? You have no skirmishers of any sort which could leave with problems killing giants. Handgunners really pay for themselves against chaos, after the doggos die put them on the flanks and slaughter warriors/chosen.
Overall pretty good though, I'm partial for Lore of Life with gryphs/tank for endurance in long battles.
I'd probably drop 1 greatsword and 1 halberdier for a 1-2 handgunners/outriders/great cannon.
>>183262919
Fun, although I would have achieved a better result by auto resolving.

Which faction is the most capable of having full large monster armies in TW:W?
>>183263718
Vampire Cunts. They field monsters left and right.
>>183263718
Probably vampires
>>183263678
>>183263667
>>183263645
imagine the waste of time doing 1 banner, 1 musician and 1 captain for ALL THE UNITS in the game, jsut imagine it
come on,
>>183263645
I'm gonna be sick
>>183254580
I really fucking wish they'd add unique abilities for some Legendary Lords
like
>Wulfrik's unique ability: Duel
>1 use per battle
>"Forces lock the current engaged unit in a duel to the death with Wulfrik. The enemy unit nor Wulfrik can disengage from the melee. Any other unit, friend or foe caught in Duel suffers AoE damage"
It would be pretty strong against Heroes and Generals, but if you play safe and keep them behind their lines the Wulfrik's would be forced to either pass through all the enemy army and get lots of damage to duel the enemy general or use the ability on a shitty swordsman unit.
>CA litteraly uses pure ForgeWorld models for the DLC
>people still doubt about the chaos dwarfs in the third game
>>183261707
Next time you attack a walled settlement park Durthu and his tree posse just inside the gates with the branchwraith outside healing them.
>>183263756
I still would have liked it. Having my empire-men march to the sound of drums would be nice.
>>183263782
Literally nobody wants Chaos Dwarfs
NOBODY
>>183263373
>>183263402

>>183263523
>cheating
War isn't fair. I will make damn sure I can get any advantage over the enemy to utterly crush them. In this particular battle the balance of power was like 90% in their favour because of number advantage. At the end I lost 60 troops and they over 2k.
Anyone have tips for Clan Angrund campaign? I just started and just started a war with green Jesus to make a base of operations in the badlands. I'm getting my ass kicked so far in this campaign.
>>183262657
Different, they are two different factions entirely.
>>183263816
well thanks to CA don't wasting time and resources in them we'll be able to have secondary factions, araby, kislev, MAH PIZZA PESTO DI PRESTO or HOLA AMIGOS - not spain.
>>183263868
If you have 3 hellcannons you can win any siege before you even send a single unit past the walls

This thing has also been fucking me up

Where are your ranged units? Why the fuck are you in melee with that beast?
>>183263470
Does this mod work for the AI?
I'll feel too much like I'm cheating if I'm the only one taking advantage of formations...
giant squigs when
When will CA upload Norsca gameplay? Wasn't that due yesterday?
>>183264134
I have 2 rangers so far and 3 grudge throwers but their cav broke through my right side. They also have a a reinforcement stack coming
>>183262657
Different
CA has definitely learned the lesson that people prefer separated starting locations given that every race in TW:WII will have them
>>183264236
Technical issues.
>>183264270
Okay, considering I don't know all you have I'm going to make some assumptions.
If you're already in the thick of battle, you will have to start forming a box. Powerful defensive on the outside, ranged/artillery on the outside.
You're probably in too deep to play offensively, so you fall back on your vigor. Open up the box on the least-enemy-populated side to let your ranged units out. Run them in the back/side/whatever you can find.
When the AI turns their attention towards you, it's ranged units back in the box.
Push for advantages on single sides of the box so you can clear a side to let your ranged units out again.
This strategy has gotten me out of some awful situations with the dwarfs.
>>183262952
This makes the VC campaign retardedly easy
You can recruit a lord on one side of the map and just raise zombies until you reach the siege, then win because of numbers
>>183264298
>>183264236
then, is today the day?
>>183264527
Maybe
>>183264270
Managed to pull my rangers and catas back
>>183264421
Yeah I'm prob going to hang back a little and play a bit more defensive next battle because my infantry is holding the line pretty well. I can always use them to pin the opposing army and let my ranged units do work
>>183264449
Just like the soviets
>>183263718
Greenskins: 2 types of trolls, giants, arachnoks, colossal squigs and wyverns
>>183264582
Here, even drew your ass a diagram.
Red = enemy
Green = your melee
Blue = ranged
When the badies com for your blues, just pull them back int he box.I don't know why I drew this.
>>183263931
I'd kill for Araby
>>183264582
Got the bastard
>>183264681
Illuminati confirmed.
So wait, what are the Dwarf Rangers used for?
They have shit crossbow range and are not that great in melee
>>183264681
Neat. My problem with the dwarves is that whenever I try to do this my lines are so thin because they have many bodies in their units. They do have pretty good defense and can hikd the line. I don't know I'll try it again and figure something out.
Thanks for the drawing nigga
>>183264856
Running
>>183264856
Normal rangers are just BadQuarrelers
Great weapon rangers are awesome, their throwing axes absolutely shred anything in the game.
Are Outriders as bad as everybody says they are? I want to use some to deal with Marauder Horsemen, is that a bad idea?
After reading about chaos dwarfs I really want to play them now.
I hope they are one of the main factions in 3.
>>183262108
I fought a siege once at drakenhoff that had 3 vampire armys against me so I brought a second army with 12 mortars and 4 steam tanks in with my regular army of franz, 3 hand gunners, 2 steam tanks, 4 demigryph knights, 2 hellfire rocketbatterys 5 greatswords and 3 halberdiers and just sat outside of the walls and used every artillery I had to break the towers and mortared him to shit long before I entered the walls, he lost like 80% of his army to mortars alone I couldn't stop laughing
>>183264906
And here is the carpet
>>183265000
Make an army of Hellcannons
>>183265071
What are you using to take screenshots?
>>183265125
But they have tons of other cool shit.
>>183264221
It does, they use it pretty well too. The only thing they won't use are the two hollow formations.
>Sieging Averheim.
>Throw a stack of zombies up the towers and ladders while my serious stack breaks down the gates.
>End up breaking through the gate first, grave guard, knights and vargheists slaughter the men on the ground.
>As the men on the ground rout and run further into the city (off the map), the men still on the walls go into Last Stand one after another and fight to the last as the dead flood the walls from both sides.
>>183263837
I want Chaos Dwarves
>>183265165
Ah that's nice!
Thanks Anon. I won't feel so bad now!
>+40 Diplomatic Relationship with the Undead
>>183265165
It's probably good they don't use the hollow formation considering it can crash the game if they use it at the wrong time.
>>183265000
They'll be in eventually, GW has taken the cuffs off CA, everything is now on the table
>>183265143
Just using the steam one but with the uncompressed copy. Also using x2 msaa with mfaa so its kind of like x4. The post process anti aliasing TWWH uses (TXAA) is awful and makes everything blurry.
>>183261309

>Lord
Krell wasn't a lord; he was a hero; and he was far from being the greatest ass kicker of the setting.
>>183265165
Can any army use the formation? Like can I have orcs do it too?
>>183264946
Please respond.
>>183265330
Uncompressed uses png file though and everything is above 4mb
Are you changing them one by one yourself?
>>183264946
They're not bad. You can do a lot of cool stuff if you micro them well.
The reason they get a bad rap is because they don't really have enough power to maintain the assault. They're good for picking things off, but I don't know if I'd go as far as to use them for what you're intending.
Why not set up a custom battle and find out?
>>183265419
I put them on mspaint and just save over them to make a jpeg and get smaller files. Not much of a quality loss I think
>>183264856
Bugman Rangers are better than Quarrelers
>>183264946

>>183265229
Vampiric influence trait?
>>183265229
That's pointy ears for you, always sucking everyone's dick.
>>183265373
Wood Elves and Chaos can't use any of them, and Beastmen get just one for chasing routing units down. Empire, Brets, Dwarves and Greenskins get access to everything else, though there are a few that are only for one or two factions. It also gives most infantry loose formationwhich was the reason I got the mod in the first place.
>>183265789

>>183265000
CA has talked about 16 main factions before, and the only faction that reasonably fits that definition are the chorfs.
If Norsca can get in I don't doubt that chorfs will too
Well that battle came a bit down to the wire.
>Outnumber their infantry but have no way to catch their ranged units.

nowhere, they are not real
>>183267283
They'll reveal that Teclis is basically hard mode since you have to deal with Lord Kek and the Vampire Coast almost immediately
Tyrion will have to deal with Malekith's former kingdom and just like the Empire all of the Helf provinces hate him for no reason at all

>>183267560Clearly the elves want that gobbo boipucci in this case.
>>183266540
There not been much but we do know they'll be going back to some of the older characters to tweak them. They want to make the named casters much better than the basic heroes/lords.
Also each spell will now have 3 levels to it, first unlocks the spell, second gives the overcast, third gives a magic cost reduction.
That's all I know. I really do hope they amp up the damages as well.
>>183267560
>where orcs are fungi
What if they have dicks anyways and can release spores with mucus from them? Suddenly orc rape for everyone.
>>183267762
From 40k but there's basically no difference in how orcs reproduce in the two settings.

I'm curious how developed/important southlands will actually be without Kangs there, nobody currently starts there what's the point of even including it
>>183268407
>nobody actually starts there
Maybe Skaven, Pestilens have their power base there. Maybe one of their lords will start in Lustria and another in the Southlands
>>183268471
The other regional factions could be Araby, some bs vampire faction, skaven, lizardmen maybe, and other tomb kings.
>>183268407
>>183268564
Pretty sure they said somewhere that there would be 8 or 9 different races/factions in the Southlands. So you'd have stuff like Araby, Lizards, Skaven, Empire (Sudenburg), Karak Zorn Dwarfs, maybe a Beastman herd in the jungles and so on.
Kangz will just make it that much nicer
>>183268564
There's plenty of factions they could thrown in:
>Araby
>Dwarfs in Karak Zorn
>Imperials in Sudenburg
>Lizardmen in Zlatlan (the only one still inhabited by them)
>Skaven
>Savage Orcs
>Maybe PeePoos just cuz

It was founded after the crusades against Araby and is apparently an important trade city in the region. Sudenwool is mentioned in the Gotrek and Felix books as being quite fine and high quality. That's about all I know.
>>183268895
Either they're replaced with a tomb king minor factions, they have a small roster of human only units, or they don't appear at all.

To be honest considering we're getting Norsca with the fucking Fimir I wouldn't be surprised if they get the Bretonnia treatment. Start off with a simple roster and get a race pack DLC down the road.
I can't wait for comfy Helf battlelines. I did the best I could with Eternal Guard, but soon we'll have some real Elf infantry.
>>183266703
I'd prefer him as an ability Kemmler has to cast.

They'll need some good guys to fight you know? And I don't think ogres really count as 'good'

Wonder who did the raping and how they chose him.
>tfw no ancient profession of being a raper
>>183271261
Honeslty I doubt the high elves buffs come anywhere close to the wood elves
Skaven lore makes them seem really OP to the point of being unfair, infighting isn't even a big caveat because nearly every faction has infighting to justify mirror matches on tabletop. I want the Empire to have machine guns, lightning guns, giant hamster wheel cars, and electricity. Wtf.

>At around this time, the Phoenix King of Ulthuan sent ambassadors to Athel Loren in an attempt to heal the wounds of the past. Ariel scornfully rejected the High Elves' advances, and trapped them within the unseen paths of the forest. Unable to navigate Athel Loren so instinctively as the Wood Elves, the ambassadorial party remained trapped for long decades. They finally escaped only to blunder into an army of Bretonnians seeking recompense for the Wood Elves' predations, and were soon after burnt at the stake by the vengeful humans.

Skaven have the equivalent of WW1 tech, but there's a decent chance it just explodes. Also the damage is highly variable generally ranging from Disintegration, to a strong tickling sensation.
Skaven are also cowards, they have an army wide special rule that let's them retreat faster, and their morale is so garbage you'll be seeing it a lot

Saurus were almost stat for stat equivalent to Chaos Warriors on the tabletop. They are wearing the equivalent of heavy armor in natural scaled armor. You can probably expect 80+ in the armor department at least

You're the one crafting a narrative. I never said anything about 4chan's supposed glory days. In fact, you're the only one who has brought it up, so stop projecting.

Green Threat actually, its fun. It keeps spawning new hordes every so often, if you're destroying the hordes as they appear its pretty tame, but when no one does like in that screenshot eventually there'll be a ton of hordes all under the same faction, and they'll eventually converge like that.

Honestly speaking I can understand Varg killing Hieronymous. The guy was, without a single doubt, a legit psychopath, and one who'd already proven he had no trouble causing the deaths of others. He drove another band member to suicide, took a picture of his still-warm body, and thought no more of it than that it was cool. If someone told me such a guy, who you know hated you, was out to kill you, I'd be scared out of my mind and probably take matters into my own hands, because there's no way to get the guy convicted on rumours alone.
That isn't to say I agree with a single thing Varg or his schizophrenic wife says, but I have full understanding for the murder.

>>183274130
This is the first time I've used them actually, I was planning on just having them as harassment units.
From what I just saw though you can use them the exact same as normal wolves but they break units even quicker due to the other guy getting morale penalties for being under fire.
They have slightly worse melee stats but the red line buffs the only things you care about for wolves, charge and attack.
They lose the missile block chance but if your wolves are getting shot at they're fucked either way.
This battle was with a low level lord too, only had the first +attack/charge skill at 3/3.
