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!

The last Moorish army. The Imperial Legions defeated two invading forces in the west some months ago, leaving two other armies to be dealt with by Belisarius. They were sieging Hadrumentum and its defending Legion when Belisarius arrived with relief forces consisting of over five thousand men.

He attacked from the south, relieving the southern section of the city as the army responsible for that part of the siege fled when they sighted the Roman force. Their mistake had been made, as they ran towards the coast and away from their allied army. The Roman force descended upon them and broke them, leaving the last Moorish army to stand alone. It tried to flee and head into the desert, but it had been surrounded by the Roman army and the defending Legion sallied out to defeat the Moors.

And now the Moorish king leads his battered force against ten thousand men, a brave act, if not a foolish one. He'll die well in battle.

they can't though, bears drop hard when you hit them and penetrate the brain, every animal would
there's a webm I had of someone doming a bear when it charged but I can't find it now, they certainly don't just shrug it off though, you'd just think that because of the relativity of the size of the bear and what kills it

Units with the Anti Large trait are good for that. Focusing ranged units can also work. I had three (admittedly veteran) ranged units focus on a Giant, he dropped in seconds.

>Empire bullet velocity would have to be pretty shitty to just plink off the skull bone like that
Comparitively speaking the bullet velocity is pretty shit. Empire Handguns are the equivalent of Hackenbüchse, early matchlocks with a muzzle velocity of some 600-700 meters a second, and that falls off very quickly without rifling in the barrel to stabilize the projectile. It'll punch through a steel cuirass sure, but a giant monster with a skull thicker than most tank plating? Probably not.
>>
>>184033356
>>184033196
I guess spears are more of a "contain until you can shoot it to death" solution? Cause they obviously still get fucked in direct combat
Another unrelated question: What's the point of expendable units? I understand that you just build them cheap and then throw them at the enemy without giving a fuck if they die, but your stack has a max unit limit so once you get big stacks, do you just stop using them?
>>
>>184033017
>when you hit them and penetrate the brain
>and penetrate

That's the fucking point.

There's people failing to shoot themselves because the bullet doesn't penetrate, and they're humans.

>but a giant monster with a skull thicker than most tank plating?
Skin, meat and bone surely doesn't protect as well as steel plate?
>>
>>184033684

I tend to bring low tier and expendable units along in a secondary stack. I've also used shitty units like goblins for drawing tower fire during sieges.
>>
>>184033664
>600-700 meters a second
That's low? I played enough War Thunder to know that even something like 700 m/s is more than enough to penetrate 100+mm of steel plate

It was a bloodbath.

The heavy cavalry of the Roman legion shattered their center and flanks, while artillery pummeled them from afar. A flanking force attacked the king and slayed him, leaving the Moors to scatter and be cut down by horsemen.

Depends on the scale of the material. You might not think spider webs are tougher than high tensile steel but they are, it's just that they're thin, tiny, and very small compared to you.

Also, I definitely can't speak as to Dragon Ogre physiology but if they're anything like dragons their skin and bones are unnaturally protective anyway, so keep that in mind as well.

How the fuck does monarchical succession work in Medieval II, is it just completely random?

So my king dies and rather than any of his brothers or sons, the crown passes to his 80 year old cousin with no children. Which is fine, except that now for some reason the heir to the throne is this sniveling little teenager who is the 2nd cousin twice removed from the current king and is only related to the royal family on his grandmothers side, he doesn't even carry the royal family name. The succession also skipped his perfectly alive dad.

I'm tempted to send him charging into some pikemen or too close to the walls of a besieged settlement, but I'm worried that if he dies on the same turn as my current 80 year king that might just fuck things up further.

Are there no rules to how heirs are chosen at all?

>That's low?
It is when your ballistic stability is practically 0 and you're firing a ball bearing from a smoothbore tube using gunpowder. That's kind of the problem with shooting them dead square in the head anyway: It can't be done consistently. Aiming for the center mass is the only realistic way to hit the fucker and aiming for his head is just begging for more than half of your regiment's shots to miss.

Vamps are usually aristocrats that jerk themselves off over their own power. There's a lot of them in a lot of different places and they're only loosely affiliated, in some cases they hate eachother openly. Most of them don't live in Kang country because Tomb Kangz hate Nagash and his former/current servants, which includes vamps.

Tomb Kings spend most of their time napping under the sand. Just don't fuck with their land or steal their shit from their tombs because they'll march an army of fuckin' bones up to your doorstep and drown you in them.

Basically Kangz, Vamps, and Nagash all came from the same place but there's a lot of friction between them and Vamps fucked off to lands further north, or in many Necarchs' cases they burned to death in Nagash's library because they couldn't bear the loss of all that necromantic lore.

It's complicated, but basically, back when the Tomb Kings were still alive and thriving, the nobility in a city called Lahmia figured out how to turn themselves into vampires.

I've found modding the game to give the Orcs a boost can make the Badlands bowl less one-sided at least. Pic related is the Badlands in my recent Angrund campaign, at 100 turns. Dwarfs will probably win but it's taken them a while. I've seen Grimgor take Karaz-a-Karak itself before.

Though that doesn't address the fact that you'll only be fighting Orcs and the occasional Beastmen and that one Norscan invasion. The Badlands need the Skaven and Tomb Kings bad.

Nah they were all resurrected by Nagash's magic but they retained their memories and shit. The ones that were entombed millenia ago woke up horrified at what they had become, and the ones that had died recently came back knowing exactly what Nagash did to them, which involved plagues and undead armies and shit.

Imagine you got promised rebirth and eternal life and instead you wake up as a fucking skeleton. They are not on good terms with Nagash.

>This guy was Nagash, lord faggot of death and shit
>Nagash basically killed everyone living in Egpyt (Nehekara) and made them all undead
>Later, Nagash disappears (probably to go suck some dick)

Because playing Empire is like being savagely beaten from every direction by almost everyone until Chaos kills them all and shits 4 full stack armies on top of Altdorf. Meanwhile, the Sarl and Varg are sieging and burning down everything you can't defend because you're too busy lightning striking, agent action spamming, and breaking sieges multiple turns in a row.

Mod maker says he's "improved the way the Greenskins armies manage their fightiness, making them much more conservative on this aspect." Seems to work. However, this mod changes some other things about Norsca and the Chaos invasion (nerfs Norscan economy but boosts the Doom Tides and Archaons armies) so keep that in mind. His AI recruitment mod might also help the Orcs a bit. You could also try the Green Tide mod.

The Empire gets raped by literally everything. It's not that their units are bad, but the way their campaign is designed is really shitty and shallow compared to some others.

For example, part of the Empire campaign is confederating with the other Empire states. By the time Chaos shows up you'll be lucky to confederate with two of the states, and more often than not you won't be getting any actual provinces out of it because of the in-fighting between the states.

If you somehow manage to take all of the Empire provinces, you then have to worry about Chaos and Norsca in the north, Beastmen and Greenskins to the south, AND not having your empire fall apart from Chaos Corruption and public disorder.

There are no bonuses for uniting The Empire. You get nothing for it. Other factions get bonuses for doing certain things (Taking 8 Peaks as Belegar/Skarsnik, getting Chivalry as Brettonia, etc) but The Empire get nothing.

Again, they have really good units, but the macro of the campaign is what ruins the fun.

It's mostly shit that was tacked on during the 30 some odd years it existed. It's not like the guys wrote all of this lore with the first edition and everything afterwards was the same shit regurgitated with minor tweaks. I mean hell, the chaos gods were barely like they are now in first edition.

Because they've been nonstop publishing magazine articles, novels, and codexes since the 80's, and they were complete nerds when they started out, which is why current GW, which is run by sales people and suits, got rid of the lore, which they don't understand or care about.

Nordland = bonus income from ports, bonus against Chaos/Varg/Skaeling units
Talabcleland = higher income, bonus ambush chance and detection and improved cavalry

So it's possible to make a mod that would reduce the HP of Lords & heroes significantly, but give them a bodyguard so they have some meatshields / elite units protecting them at all times.

This would basically make generals a lot more like how they are in other TW games and make things more realistic as a whole.

Would it be a good idea?

Imagine being Malekith in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Mother, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both as Witch King and as a son." when all he really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in his torture chamber. Like seriously imagine having to be Malekith and not only stand menacingly in that gateway while Mother flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks she got birthing you and dirty, leathery skin, and just stand there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that barefoot walk. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on set tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, MORATHI LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to stand there and watch her mannish fucking hag face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of high elven maidens and slaves and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Nagarythe. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled ancient stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to stand there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with blood sacrifices in the previous months. And then the trailer director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person on this pathetic little island before Alith Anar could put you down, but you stand there and endure, because you're fucking Malekith. You're not going to lose your future phoenix throne over this. Just bear it. Hide your face behind a mask and bear it.

Yeah but it should be tough to use characters, they should have a huge effect but be fairly vulnerable.

At the moment they don't have a huge effect, unless they get a monster mount, they just kind of stand their killing a few troops with each attack and getting barely dented with their hideous amount of HP.

Even in battles where I've gotten 600+ kills in Grimgor it hasn't been epic, it's just been a slog and he can't really be killed by any basic troops so he wracks up an insane amount of kills.

It's tough, because if you make them more vulnerable, you have to babysit them the whole time.
The way to fix that, I think, is to allow the player to attach them to a unit like the tabletop. That should mean that they don't end up completely surrounded at least.

Maybe in an extended fight, but it makes them impossible to surround and pin down.

Makes them more vulnerable to missiles really.

Monster mounts kind of suck in this game though because they just literally turn your hero into the monster.

There's basically 0 difference between Karl Franz and an empire general on a griffon because once mounted they both just become a griffon mount.

>Maybe in an extended fight, but it makes them impossible to surround and pin down.
Still, it deals with the tedious slog you described. Then again, not all Lords get a fun mount. I don't really agree on mounts turning many lords and LLs into the same thing, because most of them seem like the same thing to begin with to me. Franz may lack a shield and have shit MD but good damage and AP, but with some items and character skills he'll be pretty much just a beefier general, mount or not. Flying monstrous mounts shine the most on spellcasters, though, since it lets you use squishy wizards as morale chargers on top of it. I think a way to fight Grimgor and Khazrak and such (because who takes his chariot, really) would be to up their weight, so they aren't knocked over by cavalry and can force their way through enemy units more easily, instead of just getting bogged down forever.
>>
>>184047618
you should just have an option to dismount and the mount will either go away from the battlefield, having a cooldown until you can mount again or the mount becomes it's own unit that requires it to be close to the lord to be effective

I mean the main difference is that with Ghal Maraz & deadly onslaught he can charge in with + 50% weapon damage and 1 shot some poor sod Lord, but once an empire general gets a griffon he can do similar shit because they become far more similar as units.

The only lords that feel unique are the ones that have armour piercing damage with no mount,like Grimgor & Ungrim, or no equivalent generic lord, like Durthu or Thorgrim.

>>184050496
Don't they get like +15% damage, +30% charge bonus, and magic resistance, with all their skill buffs? They charge is like 18 or something to begin with, so that's another 6 points total, and magic resistance only matters against lords and heroes with weapons. The damage might be somewhat useful, but 15% for a low-damage non-AP meatshield? Not worth the skill points to me. Then again I've never hit 30 with the Enchantress, so maybe she ends up with points to spare, since her magic is only worth 1 point per skill.

In one of the original Warhammer editions they had a section "Why a fantasy world?" With the counter-proposal being why not just have wargame rules for fantasy models to fight with. The answer was that a world gives the battles meaning and context, and gives the armies character and depth.

Same is true of D&D. It could exist just as a set of rules, but creating worlds(like Forgotten Realms etc.) for those rules to operate in makes the gameplay so much more engaging.

More or less what you'd expect. High fantasy settings in general are all very similar, but D&D has always been the most generic. Not necessarily in a bad way, just that everything falls under the standard stereotypes.

I believe the D&D world was the second "big high medieval fantasy" setting ever made and developed for a long time after Tolkien, so it's "generic" because it's the origin of a lot of fantasy cliches. Also there are a lot of settings under the cathegory of D&D, and shit can get kinda mixed up in those. I think it's in Eberron where orcs are a race of druids dedicated to sealing an ancient evil while elves are the proud warrior race that constantly raids them just for shits and giggles.

So what mods are people using?

I just loaded up campaign maps
>>
>>184056661
As an example of the benefits of creating a world; giving the Dark Elves Cold One mounts is something that existed from the earliest editions and arose out of world setting. If the Dark Elves were kicked out of Elf-island and forced to settle in Dinosaur-land, wouldn't they encounter and potentially domesticate some of the Lizardman & Slaan creatures?

So now we have Elves riding dinosaurs as an organic development that adds to the game because of the emergent storytelling of a world setting, that probably wouldn't be there or would seem a little forced if there wasn't a game world & lore to give it a formal cause.

>>184062763
trebuchets are generally anti infantry, while many knights are anti large. the mammoths also seem to have have anti infantry bonuses. the idea being if you get a good charge you you can hit its leadership hard. it also helps that flying units like pegasus knights and heroes don't have to worry about enemy charge bonuses in a flying charge. then again it is such a big target maybe trebs could work, but they're usually better served thinning out their infantry.

Well we learned from the stream that if you put Norca's top tier stuff against Bretonnia/Empire/Beastmen with mostly lower tier stuff they'll win handily. The answer against them seems to be ranged and anti-large or bogging them down with large amount of undead tarpits if Vampires.

The frostbite mechanic alone could put them in the upper tier. Obviously their big weakness will be that they are a bunch of shirtless dudes running around throwing axes, but they've got good magic and several units that could be problematic depending on matchup.

range damage melts down norscan units because of their low armor. plus almost all Norscan units will have AP damage so there is no point in using a strong frontline against them. you'll need to kite them.

I suspect WE Glady Arrow of Kurnous and Light Wizard Empire builds will be top tier against them because both WE and Empire has great anti-large and anti-infantry ranged units and they can use stalling spells.

The Slave populace in Ekbatana has revolted and attacked the city with a rather large force. Rather than meet them on the walls, I plan to lure them into the city where they will be bottlenecked in the streets by my forces, where I will surround and destroy them if all goes as planned

This is a pretty cool siege map, it has a river running through it and one of the gates on the east side can only be attacked from a bridge that is covered by both the gate towers and another watch tower. Its a shame WH doesn't have maps like these

I almost want to agree with the former anon, because Warriors of Chaos is probably the most poorly designed, least fun faction. The whole theme behind WoC is being a slow, impending doom in the form of a wave of descending death; however, they're probably more of the equivalent to unchecked lung cancer from smoking too much. What you're going to want to do early in the game is do everything you can to boost Horde Growth, upkeep reduction, and benefits from raiding, because you will be in a constant struggle with keeping up money and unit replenishment. It might even be more worth your time to converge units and just buy up replacements, otherwise you'll be sitting around most of the game with your thumb up your ass.

To the people who want Estalia and Tilea as DLC, how would this work? Does either of those have an interesting roster or cool mounts/beasts/machines and shit? To me it seems as though they are just humans in Italy/Spain flavor.

>To me it seems as though they are just humans in Italy/Spain flavor.

I personally would dearly love even just a barebones, but true and proper pike and shot team with actual formations and rank fire.

If you really want that question answered though, go and look at Dogs of War, and look at that Southern Realms Mod I think it's called, to see how interesting, unique and fun Tilea and Estalia can be.

Fucking Fimir made a comeback, hoss. They will have zero trouble filling out Tilea with all the old Merc units. Estalia may be trickier for a full roster, but if the Lore doesn't yield enough I trust CA to be able to fill in the gaps at this point.

Ogre cavalry is massive, monstrous. not the size of the mammoth but closer too.

its powerful too.

they have a lot of heavy mainline monstrous infantry that will act like a mid way infantry/cav. they also have great gunpowder weapons. and gnoblar slaves.

should be fun times.

There's a lot wrong with the balance desu.

First you have the Northern theatre, where Empire+Kislev vs. Vampires vs. CHAOS+Norsca duke it out. Empire rarely confederates and thus always loses to Chaos and Norsca, wgo are just way too strong in the campaign. Similarly, the vamps never pose a threat to anyone even though the Empire is crumbling right next to them.

Then there's the southern theatre, where greenskins and dorfs fight over control of the badlands. Dorfs are all friendly towards each other abd confederate fairly quickly whereas greebskins all fight each other too. This always ends in dorfs winning the theatre quickly.

Then there's the western "theatre", where Clan Angrund, Bretonnia, Half Moons and Wood Elves fight. Problem here is that Elves and Bretonnia rarely have an all out war, only a few skirmishes. This usually ends in Bretonnian and Elven doomstacks roaming the ruins of the empire to fight against chaos because they have nothing better to do.

Estalia and Tilea also never do anything interesting.

I have seen them ganging up on the wood elves and razing Athel Loren. I have also seen Estalia conquer most of Bretonnia. It doesn't happen that often though.

>This always ends in dorfs winning the theatre quickly.

This is wrong. I had to defeat several orc invasions of Sylvania(Empire held), because the orcs won the Badlandsbowl(Dwarfs still had their capital though)

Also vamps seems to be pretty dangerous in my campaigns. They sometime even go for Kislev.

The other stuff is mostly right though.

It would cost remarkable amounts of Charlemagne's I wager. In previous games, it was mostly humans who more or less were similar to each other. Especially Empire/Napoleon, where most nations were copying each other and generally were influenced by larger Empires around them.

In Warhammer, they would need to do separate animations, music and assets for undead, goblins, orcs, dwarfs and various human-like factions. While I would absolutely love it it really does seem like the most likely candidate to be cut, because money and labour are sadly not something to easily come by.

You should in every army take 1 long range arty unit. Single shot cannons, bolt throwers, doomdivers, catapults, anything with long range, usually they are single target and good vs large. This is to ensure the enemy comes to you since the AI always attacks if its in range of your arty, but good AoE arty usually has short range so it isnt long enough to drag the enemy in.

Then from there take what arty you want. Personally I always try to do something similar to this where the arty fires into a blobbed enemy army. You dont always have to put the arty away from your army, mortars can stay in your pillar and fire over your troops.

The current thinking with CA seems to be moving towards more Lords and all separate starts/factions going forward with Warhammer and that is a good thing and considering they need to really pull out all stops for WH3 to keep it interesting thanks to it's heavy and somewhat singular Chaos focus, I'm pretty sure there will be some decent separation. If not we must make like Khornate berserkers and rush their offices.

To be perfectly honest, and this is just me saying this, I'm quite content with getting Kislev earlier just to make room for more on-release factions of Chaos Daemons, to spread some room.

>if it didn't mean uninstalling my mods

Just remove the tick in the mod manager in the launcher and re-enable them when you wanna play single player again, takes like 15 seconds even if you have a billion mods.

Fucking this!

It's a tactic I already use with my Gobbos, so it's gonna work doubly as good when my army doesn't suffer with tiny legs.

>shooting into your own troops is a time honored Skaven tradition.
Shooting into your troops would just kill them faster which means the enemy would break through your lines then slaughter your ranged units

You use your Stormvermin to actually protect your ranged line, they're the real deal in terms of holding a line. Place ten gorillion rats in front of them and have a blast.

The irony about Skaven is their Warpstone tech means they can outrange most factions and are usually played defensively instead of offensively.

They're like furry disposable Dwarfs

>>184093434
But their stormvermin won't last to any armies elite infantry, if you have multiple lines then you won't have enough units to protect the flanks and rear. But if you shoot into the backs of your own slave rats then they'll block the majority of the shots making it a waste of ammo

Fear not my tailed brethren, the Warplock Engineers have seen to adapting Skaven Artillery. Lightning Cannon platforms are positioned high above the ground to allow 'most' shots to pass harmlessly over your Clanrats and Skaven Slaves.

Did they change how the money making buildings work? If I upgrade the farm in the minor settlement now, will the industry in Parravon produce no income at all anymore?

The tooltip for farms also says you dont get additional benefit for constructing in again in the same region, is that only for peasant caps or do you not get any income either?

If you are looking for a source, they come from Warhammer Fantasy Battles 5th edition. The illustrations are by Dave Gallagher.

Wait you got key on some cheap key site not SEGA "supported" shop and you got Norsca ?
>>
About to start my first Bretonnia campaign ever, what are some of the better units? Can you go with all Battle Pilgrims for the infantry mainline?

Also looking over the stats of the cav units, I don't get Grail Guardians. I thought they're supposed to be some kind of melee cav but their attack is worse than the Grail Knights. The knights have the better charge aswell.
>>
>>184091558
To be honest I think thats whats going to be the big thing with the 3rd game.god aligned Chaos factions.

Think about it, you'd have 4 factions who you could draw units from. WoC/Deamons/Beastmen/And now Norsca. And thats not going into any newer OC stuff CA makes.

Would also make the Chaos wastes a more interesting places if it's undivided/Norsca/the big 4 all rolling around in a blood bowl 2.0
