No overcast against dwarfs. Pit of Shades is actually pretty decent. At least in normal large unit size mp battles.
Remember how people said the dwarf AI was a complete fuck up during one of the first gameplay videos of Chaos vs Dwarfs being narrated by Darren?
The AI is STILL completely unable of using artillery and ranged, they still shuffle their units for no fucking reason and lose their chance to fire
>>183897271
You can rectify that very easily you jew
>>183897246
Pasta to follow
So DLC factions are going to get RoR but what about base game factions.Vampire content?
>updating old factions is just adding RoR AKA reskinned units with better stats
>at most giving some of the legendary lords better skill trees
>no new subfaction for empire
>no new types of maps for campaign
>>183897585
They should look into hiring some of the guys that made the AI for the Stalker games. That shit was crazy.
>>183897585
are Napoleon and FOTS the only games where the ai could somewhat use artillery?
>>183897813
B-but Anon, I don't have the shekels!
>>183897887
>no new types of maps for campaign
River/Bridge battles inTWW2
I would not say no to some Chaos RoR units
>>183897881
Abhorash
Is it true that bonus vs. X gives a boost to both melee attack & weapon damage?
Norsca had RoR on the unit screen too
>>183897941
>Napoleon
The AI would often shoot into a hill infront of them for the whole battle.
FOTS did ok though.
>>183897985
Coming for TWW by way of mods at some point, which is hilarious
>>183897031
>ungors with shields ror

I'm going to be disappointed with these, right? Why the fucking shields?
Empire is a joke at this point
That mammoth sure likes Karl a lot.
Well, Norsca looks like cancer to fight against.
>>183898125
>which is hilarious
And good. Mods save Total War games. Wish Attila had some good mods though.
>>183898083
I don't remember that from Nappy but admittedly it's been years since I played it so I'm probably wrong.
>>183898212
Campaign wise, yes they'll be crushed
Battle wise, not they´'re still top tier with all the different ways they can be played
>>183898251
The Norsca army has much more value than all of the AI ones though.
So Norsca:
Shitty infantry, okay monsters, good heroes, FUCKING MAMMOTHS
>>183898210
because with all the buffs for minotaurs the shielded one is quiet excellent
still wouldn't take it over the other two
>>183898251
>>183898215
How much does a mammoth unit cost?
SKINWORMS CONFIRMED
>>183896476
Dogs of War will be in TWW2
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dogs_of_War
Pirazzo's Lost Legion was already shown by CA to be a minor faction and El Cadavo is notorious for his incursions into Lizardmen territory
Cap that off by putting Borgia the Besieger or Lucrezzia Belladonna in charge of Tilea and it'll be all good (or do the cool thing and completely reorganize the Southern provinces so Tilea and Estalia are divided)
>>183898251
He kept making pretty poor matchups though, not really a good comparison.
>>183898315
>yes they'll be crushed
Not much will change with the Norsca dlc if Norsca starts out balkanized. Empire might even get better off.
>>183898368
the one he was using cost 2000.
>>183898251
The guy had 3 fuckings mammoths and 1 chaos dragon, he could rush 3 armys ezzy with that.
>>183898125
Should probably back up my post with some evidence.
>>183898271
My only real issue with Attila is how the combat looks. Shogun 2s and Warhammers don't look perfect by any means but they're a hell of a lot more interesting to look at than Attilas.
>tfw no Throgg gameplay
>tfw no Grace gf

May as well end it here

>>183897881
The Vampire content will be Kemmler getting the skill tree for Krell since that hasn't been released yet.
Hopefully the Greenskin and Dwarf and Empire content is the addition of Azhag to the Red Eyes near Kislev, Ungrim to Karak Kadrin and Boris to Middenland as playable lords at last.
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 soon!
>Minotaur RoR
Brace yourselves.
>>183897478
Its a troll what do you expect. Its good enough trolls under him don't go absolutely droolingly stupid and eat everyone else from their own army.

>>183897130
Delves got the Hydra which has five heads. The Ghorgon and the Hydra being modeled and added to the game? That would be far too many charlemagnes.
>>183898864
only if you suck enough dicksyou whore
>>183898794
>>183897881
Kemmler skill tree redo was supposed to go live with Krell, so VC is probably getting something else new.
>>183898794
I'm hoping they will rework the vanilla factions' skill trees a bit. Some of those skills are just a complete joke and nobody would ever get them, particularly in the blue trees.
>>183898628
>tfw Multiplayer is kill after Norsca gets added
And nothing of value was lost
>>183898928
>Kemmler skill tree redo was supposed to go live with Krell
Was it? I thought the fuckup was claiming it was supposed to while not being true until the update for all factions.
>>183898884
yeah that's the way to go, I also sat on the forest for 40+ turns only to figure out what the fuck I am doing besides farming XP from raiding and killing rebels in my own province
>>183898928

>>183899346
They'd never! Bretons are too chivalrous.
>>183897998
As nice as this would be, I would much rather have their faction/campaign mechanics overhauled.
>>183899239
Men at Arms (female)
Life or shadow lore for my elite empire army?
>>183899464
Also this. CA add thm Marks of Chaos.
>>183899464

>>183899515
Life.
>>183898797
It is now July, a musty air blows through the Reikwald but the Warherds have been driven away. From the mighty Ulricsberg, the Ar-Ulric bears a prophecy from the white wold for the Graf: it is time for the final battle with Chaos. The Midden Marshals scour the land for cultists, while the Knights of the White Wolf slaughter mutants and beastmen mercilessly. Meanwhile the Graf seeks out his arch-nemesis, the one eye, in hopes that their long conflict might at last come to a close. A great army of Huntsmen and Teutogen Guard is being assembled to wipe out the forces of the ruinous powers once and for all. Middenland soon!
>>183899429
>canonically, 10% of teh most virtuous knights turn out to be women

"i post warhammer stuff when i feel like it" lol my mistake
Playing as the vampire counts, which one is easier if you want all the legendary lords? I know you have to confed the other, but which one to start as?
>>183899698
make me
>>183899775
s-she's fast! Watch out!
>>183899464
This
Fucking Kislev, please CA.
Can some1 please TLDR how to play Wood Elves for me? I've only ever played as the Empire, and TWW is my first TW game ever. I've completed an Empire normal and hard campaign before.
>>183899742
it should be either Kemmler or Ghorst that are hardest to get.
>>183899720
maybe some other time
>>183899858
play durthu
go to Norsca
kill Norsca
>>183899720
And how I can found that comment?
>>183899239
Battle Pilgrims with Blasting Charges

Well I don't feel like paying 60 bucks for an expansion
>>183900057

Grail Knights (Halberds) (Blasting Charges)
>>183899815
Yeah, I can see her quick hands. Probably just as good with them as she is with her tongue.
>>183900145
This is all good advice.
The Wildwood rangers or whatever they're called are also excellent though imo.
>>183899995
is not a comment, its a page lol
>vampire counts break their nonaggression pact
>literally have an army sitting right next to one of my settlements for like three turns; only thing stopped them is the army inside the settlement (I did chase the army off by assassinating the leader)
>their main army is within one turn's marching distance of a settlement capital of mine
>two of my armies, including my main one, are completely stuck on account of the vampire counts waiting for me to leave
>enough of this
>take their settlement
>diplomacy status lowered to untrustworthy; says that I broke a treaty
Diplomacy in this game. There's absolutely nothing about that scenario that should make any friendly faction think that maybe the military access or the peace treaty is just a scheme to take their shit unopposed. The game should take into account factors like trespassing and who actually broke the treaty.
It seems like as Wood Elves, I can choose whether to ally myself with "Order" or with "Chaos". In the tech tree, the path down has diplomatic relations with Undead, while the path above has diplomatic relations with Empire, Bretonnia, Tilea, Estalia, Border Princes and Norscan tribes, aswell as Dwarfs and Greenskins (?) for some reason.
>>183900249
go away faggot
>>183900145
>>183900228
Thanks, but how about how to play them in general? I mean. It seems to me like this faction is simply all about getting as much Amber as possible, to upgrade the Oak of the Ages as much as possible? Is that it? And Amber is gained by taking over other factions lands or establishing military alliances/vassal status with them? So basically, farm as much relationship with other factions as possible to get military alliance OR focus on military and take over their settlements?
>The Fimir Balefiend has a mace tail
FUCKING DROPPED
Only the Fimir Warriors have mace tails, the spellcasters have smooth ones.
0/10 Very disappointed.
>>183900574
It's far less pronounced than the ones on the warriors and reminds me of dragonfuit.
>>183900438
Conquer Varg and Skaeling and colonise their lands. No one will miss them. Get diplomacy technology and become friends with all the good guy factions. Confederate other wood elves at Oak of Ages rank 3. Face-roll chaos by ambushing with armies of waywatchers and wardancers. Ezpz.
>>183900252
Nevermind, it looks like I actually did have a nonagression pact. I could have sworn that they broke it.
Still, obvious trespassing.
>>183900057
>has as much content as the original game
>still calling it just an expansion
Come on now, you weenie...
>>183900868
It's literally an expansion, it's the same game with new units.
So am I getting this right? Estalia is not! Spain and Tilea is not! Italy/Rome?
>>183900912
Really? It takes place in the old world?
>>183900632
Yeah, I'm just kinda irked.
The shape of their tails is supposed to denote caste - The low caste have smooth tails and no horns, the warriors have mace tails, the nobles have spiked or bladed tails and the spellcasters have smooth tails and horns.
>>183901025
Because expansions never added new maps, nope totally never happened.
So, mammoth is the strongest unit now?
>>183901089
Just go back to jerking off to the history games history fag. Most people have already pre ordered that so called expansion.
>>183901089
How many non mmo expansions add an entire new map to the world with new factions and different gameplay goals?
>>183899281
Right, until they sell us the Dogs of War DLC for ten dollars.
>>183901171
Most people are idiots
>>183901184
...Most of them? I'm literally playing night of the raven right now
>>183900912
So is Attila an expansion? Or Rome 2?
They all use the same engine with a new map you dip.
>>183901239
That expansion didn't add in 4 new factions or major gameplay elements like the vortex.
CASE DISMISSED
>>183901274
Attilla provided a wealth of new mechanics and totally different gameplay, Warhammer 2 provides nothing, it's the same shallow experience Warhammer 1 is.
Can't wait for ratpaths.
>>183896476
>>183896536
Tomb Kings, Araby and Dogs of War will be dlc for the second game. I'm certain of it.
>>183901367
>Historyfag detected.
Yeah get of here. You're kind aint welcome.
>>183901027
No one cares about ugly rape monsters.
>>183901027
Aren't these basically Kappa monsters from Japanese folklore
Is there anything original in Warhammer?
What does Slaanesh look like?
Why is TW2 so DAMN expensive and why Box version is cheaper than digital. I want Norsca but this price. It's more expensive than TW:W1. I could buy from some G2A but SEGA does not support them and I would not recive Norsca bonus.
>>183901367
*sigh* I am loathe to see CA continue to waste time on their childish 'fantasys' crap game's. When will we ever see serious subjects like the Ottomans got covered? HIstory is you're butter and bread CA dont' forgot where your fans comed from. Dragons and mosters? Grew up.
>>183901367
>Warhammer 2 provides nothing
We just don't know yet.
>>183901732
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomorians
They're more likely based on that
>>183901732
How the hell do you get kappa from that?
They're very, very loosely based on the Fomorians of Celtic mythos, who took any number of forms. The physical designs for Fimir are completely original.
>>183901805
I don't understand how ironic shitposting is a counterargument, Warhammer 2 IS shallow and provides no innovation to the series.
Hell, some of their lauded new features are old shit they removed, like cinematics and river battles, don't worry guys Warhammer 3 will have night battles and weather!
New RoRs when?
>>183901904
Green monster with a shell and beak
>>183901840
Pretty sure they already talked about the "new" mechanics and the fact they showed us 200 videos of fucking dinosaurs.
>>183901945
It is time to nut it or shut up CA. These are your last chance, the history community will no longer abode by your insistence on making phony fantasy ''GAMES''.
>>183902080
They still keep talking about new race features(like that dark elf name thing or whatever).
>>183901945
>Monsters, Flying Units, Magic, Unique races, Unique campaign mechanics
You're just salty you're stupid turk game isn't coming.
>>183902020
Confirmed in stream this morning on accident, Beastmen & Norsca RoR were in his test version. Likely we'll have RoR for all factions when Norsca drops.
>>183900673
Alright thanks.
>more ror spam for every faction in campaign
>more ror units ruining the variety of armies in qb by giving every faction insta-pick must-have units
RoR were a mistake
>>183896605
Probably no mini campaingn won in the build
>>183901765
Anything you want it to.
Slaanesh is often portrayed as a woman but that's not true, he/she/it appears in whatever form you would find most appealing, sexually or otherwise.
If you're fetish is toasters they'd show up as a toaster.
>>183902258
Are you guys hype for the new food and disease mechanics? Only for 60 bucks!
>>183902020
Yes.

>>183902193
I love their PR department. These guys can shitpost without saying anything. Love love love it. CA best company ever. Fantasy and and historical fiction living in harmony.
>>183902651
At least they removed the old middenland fan custom map
You should probably go complain about that particular map on their page.
>>183902693
They have like 32 "community managers" and "content creators". Quite a large Social Media presence. I think it's Darren, Grace, Joey, Craig, Tom, Leo, Henry, Dogbert, Michael, etc. I forget the rest.
>>183902454
See Anon, I agree with you that 2 is an expansion and that a lot of the shit CA is touting is old stuff but this post would have worked better if you used mechanics and features someone actually liked
>>183902651
nah man that map is perfectly fair for the vampire count defender since vampire counts don't get archers.:^)
but yeah most modded maps give huge benefits to the defender since even in the best cases modders make hills massive and steep and make choke points that specifically benefit the defender.
i don't mind it, but a lot of times it cant get ridiculous.
>>183901904
I always thought the hunched back for the spellcasters and the toothy beaks were fairly Skeksis-like.
Which I can't complain about, since I love the Skeksis designs.
>>183902975
These shouldn't even be counted as mechanics, this shit is the basis of managing an empire.
For fuck sake stronghold had this shit, a game from almost 2 decades ago.
>>183903091
Yeah, after I was reminded of the Dark Crystal a few months ago, I thought the same. Good thing that the Fimir don't have some weird old good halves.
>>183896502
When is CA's birthday
>>183903234
18th of august
>even more RoR
Oh boy I can't wait to fight a billion fucking RoR in all of my campaigns as every fucking faction in the game now spams them out of the ass! I also can't wait for competitive mpfags to bring the same 2-3 units every battle for every faction!
>>183903234
>>183903415
But the FLC is stated to come with the Norsca patch, which is the 10th. Early birthday present, I reckon.
>>183898864

I'll make an an half-slayer, half-trollhamer torpedo Irondrake army specifically for that purpose.
Lorewise, who would win in a 1v1. Louen or Franz. Memes aside.
>>183904428
Louen
>>183904428
Franz himself is the biggest meme in the setting. He wins.
>>183904428
Louen is a grail knight so he has decades of experience on Karl and ze blessing of ze lady besides
The norscans look so silly with those fucking plates strapped on their naked bodies, if boss of this gym saw them there would be a scuffle.
I wish they look like actual barbarians with pelts and shit, don't they feel cold?
>>183904076
Because if I buy from "not supported" list of shops I will not recive pre-order bonus.
>>183904428
bog standard franz, then louen wins cause he is technically a grail knight with supernatural powers and shit
end times "WE WUZ UNBEROGENZ N SHEEEEEET" Franz who is actually sigmar is a different story
>>183904749
But Karl also has the Memehammer that gives ultimate plot armor.

>>183897881
There are Knights Panther in game files so actual new units are my guess
Don't mind me just leaving some screenshots
>>183904946
They said "new toys for each faction" so I do expect that not only Norsca and Beastmen, but also Bretonnia, Knife ears and WoC get their regiments. The more exciting questions are what the base factions will get and whether WoC will get their mechanics overhauled into something better
What Wood Elf units are absolutely never worth their upkeep?
Beastmen and potentially Chaos FreeLC RoR on August 18, 2017. On the Livestream it looked like we got RoR for Gors (Shields), Ungor Spearmen (Shields), Minotaurs, and Centigors (Shields). No confirmation of Jabberslythe or Ghorgons.

Every single previous Total War faction was a reskin of the same 6 units. At least now it's a reskin of the same 45 units. And Norsca is free if you pre-order TW:WH2
>>183906137
make sure you have the latest version in top right it should be 16155.736913 i had that problem because the emperor edition had a couple of patches after it came out
>>183906154
TWW2 should be an expansion costing $20
You paid $20 for a faction DLC
Is it possible to become a vassal in Shogun 2? After barely defeating an invading Oda army I suddenly got war declared on me by Saika and now it really doesn't look like I'll be able to halt them, so pretty much my only hope is becoming their vassal, but the option isn't there in diplomacy.
>>183906328
It's 4 races and a whole new map, this is exactly what we got when we got TWW
>>183906080
The CA shills preordered the game the moment it was put on the Steam store my friend.

It's a sad state of affairs when I'm looking forward to a mod more than the next "title" in the series.
Does the Tricker's Shard item (-20% Damage Reduction) make everything around take more damage, or does it just negate already existing damage reduction in the shape of Wards and Physical Resistance?
>>183906445

>>183907184
Manlet died like a grobbi. So I thought Vampire Cunts are piss easy time to sack & raze the shit out of them. And so we went to war...

>>183907614
Took a hill but not a corner. Easily slaughtered Kemmler. And I thought the day was won.
Aren't vampire armies supposed to crumble after the Lord is dead? Neither Kemmler's army nor the reinforcing garrison seemed to even notice.
This is my very first Total Warhammer campaign, btw.
5/?
>>183907895
So I was still swamped when the elite shock cavalry charged me in the rear. I did manage to rush in some melee to absorb the first charge but they kept cycle charging.
>>183907793
>not wiping out vampires before wood elves
Anon no.
Is there any mod that adds recruitment time to ROR. It's retarded that the AI just raises half an army in one turn
>>183908203
I was playing Belegar, I was beelining for Karak 8 Peaks.
>>183908173
So my question to /vg/ is HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BREAK THE UNDEAD?! They don't tire, don't route. I don't think they even noticed their lord dying. Does attacking them in the rear even do something?
>>183908374
Once the lord is dead just run away from them unit they crumble.
>>183908374
They take morale penalties from being charged and attacked in the rear, same as anything else. You just have to get their morale down low enough for them to crumble. Not always so easy when you're fighting grave guards and such.
>>183908374
From that battle it seems to me that Thunderers are killing machines. If I didn't let them get tied down they would have probably slaughtered every enemy. But is friendly fire still a thing in Total Warhammer? I don't notice either Thunderers or Quarellers ever doing damage to my own troops.
>>183908527

I know it's the popular meme to hate SFO, but Vlad Von Carstein with SFO on is fucking terrifying. He literally sprints across the map in 2 seconds and kills half your infantry line with two hits, and then when you try to pick him off with ranged units he shrugs off the damage with his massive regen and unlimited regen cap. Plus, h can kill almost any Lord 1v1 with his sword and ring which the AI gets almost instantaneously. Thn, once you finally do kill his army "THE DEAD RISE AGAIN" and he scurries back to Sylvania to get a fresh stack of Elite Units and RoR. SFO Vampire Counts are fucking annoying.
>>183908993

When will the "pretending 30 year old lore is still canon" meme end?
>>183910034
Friendly fire is still a thing yes. You'll notice it less with Quarrellers over Thunderers though, as Quarrellers can arc their fire over your frontline, Thunderers shoot straight through.
just started a bretonnia campaign for the first time, what should my first order of business be? as far as I've seen I can't deal with both middenland and orcs in the mountain, plus I've got the -20 public order from greenskin incursions
should I spread south via confederations?
>>183910034
Yes, if your shots hit your own guys it'll still do damage.
If a unit believes it can't shoot without hitting your own guys it won't shoot though, it'll become obstructed and the firing icon will turn orange to indicate that it can't get a clear shot.

I've tried validating the cache, unsubbing and resubbing, restarting the launcher and restarting steam.

Chaos are evil warmongers who are fully aware of the dark powers they're serving and what it means for the world
Norscans are tribal superstitious savages who think Daemons are benevolent deities and Chaos is magic, but they're still slaves of the dark powers.

cheers trying it out now
Holy shit Wood Elves are pretty fun to fight as.
Is stationing my archers in forests -that- important, or is it okay if for the sake of better view of the enemy/formation purposes if they don't all necessarily stand in forests, or does the accuracy bonus from standing in forests just make them so much better that they should at all times be prioritized to be stationed in forests?

How short is your attention span? Is it BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION that that battle was merely Act 1 of a 3 part tragedy?

It's not super important as they're by default very accurate, and you'll miss more shots than you'll gain with trees in the way.
Always put Wildwood rangers in the forest if you can, though.

Different tribes worship different gods. Some are chaotic, like Tchar (Tzeentch) and Arkhar (Khorne). Some are not, like Ulric and Ursash. Some are debatable like Mermedus/Stromfels.

That leadership and melee defence is nice.
>>183911948

I just picked up TWW, it's my first total war game, wondering what race to play.

>>183912107
What's the price difference?
>>183912991
I wouldn't recommend Greenskins, their early game will be frustrating if you don't know what you're doing.
Vamps are a fine choice for a beginner.
>>183912991
undead are the easier of the 2 and would probably be the best to play for your first tw game
Greenies have the porblem of having one of the harder early game match-ups, as most of their units have a hard time dealing with the armored midgets that you will be fighting early on

>>183912991
> Vamps
Comfy choice, all you have to do is just ensure you've taken over Sylvania and then wait until the Chaos invasion happens. By that point the human factions should be weakened or gone and you'll have enough vampyric corruption in their provinces (through heroes) to move your armies in and clean up the scraps.

yeah as long as you have the two tiers and rank fire you can last as long as you have ammunition.
>>183911662
Then I guess I'm wrong. I just remember people saying they were getting warhammer 1 on sale and pirating the DLC. Though I could be missing something from that
>>183913214
a rank 9 unshielded gor herd costs 45 more than the ror version, but has the same stats aside from armor/charge bonus
w/ the RoR, you pay 45 less to get better armor/cb and vanguard/stalk on the unit
>paying less for a straight upgrade
Bravo CA
>>183913563
>Alright so which vamp lord is best?
Mannfred is solidly the best out of them, though the others aren't bad per se.
Kemmler used to be the worst lord in the game, but he's recently gotten a unique summon ability that helped him a lot.
>Can I like eventually have all the rest join me?
Yes
>Including the ones from the faction I don't play as?
No
>>183901782
pretty certain g2a gives you Norsca, it just gives you a steam key which works exactly the same as if you'd bought the game from steam itself.
I don't think there's a way to actually detach the pre-order bonus from a steam key.
Is a very very slow start typical for Wood Elf campaigns?
>>183913701
this is my biggest beef with RoR. they have an added ability and are cheaper rank 9 units.
I wish RoR only included the ability and had to be ranked up like any other unit.
>>183913701
>>paying less for a straight upgrade
That's the case for most RoR, not quite as expensive as putting on 9 chevrons and with some other upside on top.
That's why they're limited to one.

>>183899550
The campaign itself will have to be overhauled in some ways because of Norsca
>>183913872
yeah but many of them already have key abilities.
If a base unit ranked up to 9 was the same cost as the RoR, then i'd be okay with it.
>>183913715
Aww man I wanted to be manny and get vlad
I guess that's alright then
>>183913563
Vlad is easiest. He has the best campaign abilities. He can recruit his second legendary lord from the start while most factions need to do a specific thing first (build a high tier building).His entire army has vanguard deployment meaning they can begin the battle inches from the enemy army. And one of his skills give ALL armies extra experience per turn. And the more experienced an army the better they are. He also has a cool voice.
>>183913731
I think there is because I bought DoW3 (shame on me and my ancestors) from some cheap key site and I didnt get pre order skins and Dow3 belongs to SEGA. This SEGA supported reailers list is for a reason I guess.

Also
>giving a shit about quick battle balance
until they make qb a game mode that isn't retarded it'll never be balanced.
It's currently impossible to balance qb because you always see your opponents faction and completely counter it in a lot of cases.

RoR should cost more than a max rank equivalent unit - all the RoR already have the stats of rank 9 units + added abilities, so they should cost more
>>183914145
>What if RoR comes with an overhaul of how it works in the campaign?
It probably won't, knowing CA. As for quick battles, it may not be balanced but adding in more units that are straight upgrades over their counterparts for less money makes it even worse, and ruins army variety as people will always pick the same pwerful ror every battle
>>183914090

How much effect does experience have on units? Is it worth making buildings for it?
It is told that in their beginning the Dwarves were made by Aulë in the darkness of Middle-earth; for so greatly did Aulë desire the coming of the Children, to have learners to whom he could teach his lore and his crafts, that he was unwilling to await the fulfilment of the designs of Ilúvatar. And Aulë made the Dwarves even as they still are, because the forms of the Children who were to come were unclear to his mind, and because the power of Melkor was yet over the Earth; and he wished therefore that they should be strong and unyielding. But fearing that the other Valar might blame his work, he wrought in secret: and he made first the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves in a hall under the mountains in Middle-earth.
Now Ilúvatar knew what was done, and in the very hour that Aulë's work was complete, and he was pleased, and began to instruct the Dwarves in the speech that he had devised for them, Ilúvatar spoke to him; and Aulë heard his voice and was silent. And the voice of Ilúvatar said to him: 'Why hast thou done this? Why dost thou attempt a thing which thou knowest is beyond thy power and thy authority? For thou hast from me as a gift thy own bring only, and no more; and therefore the creatures of thy hand and mind can live only by that being, moving when thou thinkest to move them, and if thy thought be elsewhere, standing idle. Is that thy desire?'
>>183913336
>not taking Altdorf by turn 40 and building the dark magic colleges

>>183914580
That's why I said I beat 90%. I cant into greenskins. They are pussies by nature and this heavy Leadership penalty is killing me. Even when I menage to beat other orcs Blitzkrieg Confederation guy Throgrim and his sidekick Grombrindal always Knock on Black Crag door around 30-40 turn.
>>183914630
>We bring the light of Sigmar to the dark!
Then Aulë answered: 'I did not desire such lordship. I desired things other than I am, to love and to teach them, so that they too might perceive the beauty of Eä, which thou hast caused to be. For it seemed to me that there is great room in Arda for many things that might rejoice in it, yet it is for the most part empty still, and dumb. And in my impatience I have fallen into folly. Yet the making of thing is in my heart from my own making by thee; and the child of little understanding that makes a play of the deeds of his father may do so without thought of mockery, but because he is the son of his father. But what shall I do now, so that thou be not angry with me for ever? As a child to his father, I offer to thee these things, the work of the hands which thou hast made. Do with them what thou wilt. But should I not rather destroy the work of my presumption?'
Then Aulë took up a great hammer to smite the Dwarves; and he wept. But Ilúvatar had compassion upon Aulë and his desire, because of his humility; and the Dwarves shrank from the hammer and wore afraid, and they bowed down their heads and begged for mercy. And the voice of Ilúvatar said to Aulë: 'Thy offer I accepted even as it was made. Dost thou not see that these things have now a life of their own, and speak with their own voices? Else they would not have flinched from thy blow, nor from any command of thy will.' Then Aulë cast down his hammer and was glad, and he gave thanks to Ilúvatar, saying: 'May Eru bless my work and amend it!'Yeah it's Tolkien, but I still cri every tiem

That's an insult ! I am gonna go and start new grobi campagin. Yeah I like Dwarfs since playing Dwarf Fortress I wanted a good strategy with Dwarfs. But my first favourite in TW:W was Empire so I am not 100% Dwarf player. Also I know it's different but in multi I was good with Greens I was surprised that it's that hard because GS was the last campagin I started after rest of the races.
>>183914991

you have ways to go manlet. haha
>>183914650
A unit of blood knights that are fully experienced have 10 more leadership 11 more melee attack and 12 more melee defense. That isnt much but if it goes against a unit of the same caliber it will win.
Fully ranked handgunners get the same bonus as blood knights just with a very small +4 missile damage meaning It's actually not that useful for ranged units
>>183914419
Oh I was wondering, what should I focus on in the tech tree?

>Leave a Lord behind to help with the inevitable capital defense against at least one dwarf faction.
>Wipe out one of the Dawi capitals pincering you, turning the Badlandsb owl into a one direction slog.

Lahmian book of blood and the one that buffs skeletons.
The other two give small bonuses to units you wont use that much while the book of blood has some impressive bonuses for everything otuside of combat and you will always be using skeletons.
>>183909017
Queek Headtaker will probably replace the Crooked Moon rebels, so yeah as either Belegar or Thorgrim you'll be able to kill the Skaven.
>>183915430
And since I'm OCD I'm gonna end up playing as everyone, so someone gimme an order to play all the factions in. Vlad is gonna be first, idc about the rest
>>183915436

But Greenskins can't farm rebels because they don't have raid stance?
Raid camp gives like a fraction of the -public order.

>>183915779
i would say that after the first any faction goes except chaos that one is pretty hard but if you want a recommendation go empire after vlad
>>183915775
Skaven also have a sizable presence in the vaults so they may replace the ones over there. Interested in how, if, they will include the Hell Pit. Its one of the most famous skaven strongholds but there is currently no place to put it.

I've played all of them and this is how they felt difficulty wise. Though take that with a grain of salt, since I did mod it pretty heavily after my first campaign. Speaking of, here's some mods I feel are borderline essential: they're all cosmetic, though, since this is your first time:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=744844351
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=690476829
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=696257540
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700406231
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=952084679
There's also this one, that adds minor settlements:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=883467263
There's one that makes unique settlements for the bigger settlements too, but the maps weren't created equal, some are real good, others less so, so you'll have to judge for yourself.
>>183915338
>That isn't much but
10 attack and 10 defense is pretty huge in most situations. In a lot of melee situations that's hitting and digging 25% more often.
>>183915451
>>183915049
i agree with you.
I faced off against an empire army that stacked all the RoRs and it was honestly larger than an equivalent sized non RoR army. didn't help that it was double net spam focus down the lord shit either.
>>183916551
>>183916585
Wow thanks a ton for all of this!
>>183915934
They can't farm them as fast as other races but it's still plenty fast to get a Waaagh spawned before the dwarfs can stop you. The heavy negatives to public order for playing on legendary also help quite a bit.
>>183916786
Changer direct me
>>183916421
>Stirland's Revenge vs FCM (rank 9)
+4 missile damage
+ap missile damage
+immunity to psychology
+stalk
+98 cost (825sr vs 727fcm)
so basically out of all the empire RoR, there are a few that are relatively ok price-wise, being more expensive than their rank 9 counterparts to make up for the extra abilities they have (sigmars son's, stirland's revenge), but most of them are cheaper than their regular counterparts despite having abilities that make them a straight upgrade. The Royal Gryphites, Zintler's RG, and the Silver Bullets are the best examples of why the current implementation of the RoR system is flawed

In principle I agree with you, but I never play multiplayer so I really cannot bring myself to care, minor differences in unit price are basically entirely irrelevant in campaign.
>>183916953
Or veterancy is just too expensive in mp.
>>183916914
they can't farm them at all, your post sounds like made up bullshit.
-3 public order from raiding makes it basically pointless and you get -100% income from your province.
Is it acceptable to play any other faction but The Empire?

>>183917294
>>183916830
Actually, one more: this isn't cosmetic though, so keep that in mind. In vanilla, the AI recruitment can on occasion fuck up. You'll see an army with nothing but chariots or an Orc Warlord with nothing but Goblins. Kind of lame. This mod fixes that pretty handily, though if you want your first campaign to be "pure", you should probably not use it. Your call.

>>183917294

>>183916584
>tfw their line troops will have to be the old Babylonian Chorf warriors and not the stupid 40k-ish Infernal Guard
Oh fuck i really hope so
>>183917489
Yeah but Bretonnia first 50 turns is easy. Confederation for free. Empire first you need to waste some turns to unite Reikland and even later not every province likes you like Middenheim who's really hard to confederate.
>>183917410
Don't listen to him, he is overcomplicating stuff. What you should do though is to subscribe to the SFO (this mod does everything you can possibly need lore wise and in terms of gameplay), download PFM afterwards and disable all the shitty new units in SFO which you don't like. If you want. That's it, pretty simple.

There isn't really a lord or faction they could put there, the current setup of the Skaven they seem like they're going for will have two clans in the New World map playable and the Skavenblight itself will be where the "Skaven" proper faction is and Queek is a must for the Belegar-Skarsnik threeway.

Yeah with items, we don't even know what Wulfrik's items do.
His innate ability that shits on lords is already comparable to the regen if not better.
So what are the chances of us getting a intro cinematic for Norsca?
Will they have one or not?
>>183924653
Red Duke gets a similar ability.
>>183924182
Wulfrik is a manly man who kills folk, Sigvald cries in his sleep because other people are prettier.

Yeah... what IS the lore explanation for, firstly, how Kemmler got Necromantic powers from Chaos despite Nagash/Necromancy being the anti-chaos chaos magic and, secondly, for an extremely powerful and independent Necromancer operating in Bretonnia to suddenly drop everything and go help Manlet Von Carstein in Sylvania?

Kemmler made a deal with vague chaos powers to get back his magical powers after he got blown out in a fight and lost them, on the condition that he used them for destructive purposes
As for teaming up with mannlet, gameplay considerations, plus mannlet is actually pretty powerful in the grand scheme of things and would probably be one of the few leaders that would let a necromancer sit around and do his thing, given that joining chaos is ruled out and pretty much everyone else hates humans, necromancers or both

>>183928651
Ghorst has an interesting starting pos unlike Alberic, and he's actually worth something in battle
>>183928634
Its just got to tedious now, all this posturing to stop them razing my shit, and then being the sole shitbag to deal with the warriors of chaos armies that show up, if I had more armies it'd be a lot easier to force a fight, but that's probably not happening
I feel like this would have been a better if it was a later game thing, maybe buff them up a bit, which I guess the new DLC might for the norscan
>>183927963
You can mod it out or delay it, but it's only particularly disruptive for empire and maybe vamps.

Considering the ongoing discussion, is there a mod that DISABLES chaos invasions? I'd much prefer having Empire, Norsca, Bretonnia, Dwarf factions endlessly fighting eachother for supremacy.

>>183929345
and the morality score?
>>183929325
Thinking about it it kinda kills my desire to play empire again (they're my favourite faction) knowing I'd have to go through that shit again
I'll probably look for a delay mod, I don't mind fighting chaos but I'd prefer it be a creeping invasion that actually works rather than just the mid game mad rush it is

>>183930941
Confederation is a mix of a few things in this priority:
1. How close to getting wiped out they are.
2. How much they like you.
Keep in mind forming a defensive or military alliance directly conflicts with point one as the AI expects you to fight their battles, and that 1 trumps 2 to such a degree that a faction that loathes you will always confederate if you are starving out their last town and army.

Good relations and an substantial balance of power difference in your favor
Okay I've looked now and I can't seem to find any good chaos invasion disable mods. There's a mod simply called "No Chaos Invasion", but that mod has one chaos army spawn at the beginning of the game that needs to be defeated for there to be no more chaos, that's just stupid and could throw the early game off balance.
Anyone know a good mod that just straight up disables the fucking chaos invasion with no stupid shit like random chaos army spawn somewhere on the map in the beginning of the game?
>>183931081
That giant looks fuked up
>>183931385
Beastmen are the best horde faction experience from any total war game ever imo. Wood Elves make you feel like you have an army full of Legolas, very fun. Warriors of Chaos ar a mediocre faction but the heavy metal unstoppable infantry aesthetic is godly.

A single chaos army on its own at the beginning of the game will never even make it out of Kislev. It will not change the early game in a remotely meaningful way.
>>183931668
What a fucking nigger
>>183931712
Is Kislev strong with military units early game? I mean if what you say is the case then I guess it's a good compromise to get rid of the shitfest that is "chaos invasions"

They start with the entirety of four provinces including a Marienburg tier port. The only reason they don't stop chaos in it's tracks in the vanilla game is due to their endless war with Norsca and it's bottomless economy.

Diplomatic affixes are rolled randomly at the start of a campaign. Any electors that wind up with imperial distrust will likely need to be removed forcefully. Reliable and Underdog Lords can both be reasoned with peacefully.
This is not an ironclad rule as wars will always shift the diplomatic playing field but it does help steer you early on.

You can confederate Vlad's faction as Vampire Counts and viceversa, getting any General on the map in the deal, LLs included

>But they are NOT Legendary Lords, and will permanently die if you lose them, they also need to be on the map in the moment of confederation, or they are gone forever
Neither of these things are true anymore. Legendary Lords retain their immortality, and as long as they've been recruited at some point, they will join your Lord pool, although they will still be wounded for X turns.
Pretty sure this was fixed before Wood Elves went live.

Bullshit, if it's the proper invasion and not part of the doomtide then you should get the shield of civilization buff, which makes negotiating with dwarf and human factions incredibly easy.

>Marauder champions are better than chaos warriors
Fuck you CA
>>183934595
Think you may need to reread that green text, champ.
>>183934704
Well, their lore does state that your average chaos warrior is a dude who got memed on and is actively trying to die in battle.
>>183934704
Huscarls, the rough equal to these "Marauder Champions", are on par with your run-of-the-mill Chaos Warriors in the fluff. It's fine.
>>183927487
Google Arianka.
Also, an entity called the 'Ancient Widow' granted powers of ice magic to the first Ice Queen of the Gospodars in return for protecting the land where she was trapped in ice by the chaos gods. A few parallels can be drawn there.

Is the Empire is Warhammer one of the hardest campaigns now? I keep getting my shit pushed in and it's none stop fighting on all sides.
is there such a thing as differing cav speed in warhammer because I can't seem to figure out why pistoliers can't outride grail knights
>>183918748
Just give Kholek your army and then rapidly build a new one with the 5 recruitment slots you have while level 1 kholek and superstack rapes everything
>people still don't get how to play chaos
>>183937626
Charge speed is faster than regular running speed and if your pistoliers are shooting they're going to get tired quickly and grail knights will catch up to them, since grail knights don't get fatigued at all
>>183921463
You can be hetero and still be a disgusting degenerate freak
>>183937572

>>183937728

>>183937120
Maybe SFO is fucking me around dunno. I can't even afford a full stack with belegar. I have 14 units including the ghosts. Skarsnik isn't a problem. The doomstack sent by mutinous gits over and over
>>183896630
Do not lewd the goblin of schemes and tricks.
>>183938091
Grail Knight are pretty quick for Heavy Cav, and their formation allow them to get a ridiculously high charge speed, at the price of their overhaul speed.
But things like Chaos knight, you could probably outrun them.
Also halas Pistolier are not really good.

PnP?
I'm bothered by Wulfric being "DU WERY BEST DUELIST IN THE GAME" because that was not what he was, neither in term of tabletop or in lore.
He his mostly a bragging opportunistic shitter, wich is why he got cursed in the first place, dueling with litteral who, because he know he would get absolutly trash by the REAL best warrior of the world. Fuck I think even Franz would bully him.
He his more supposed to act like run in your army, avoid the lord, and launch a duel to the mage, duel he can't refuse, bully him and then get away.
