>>187225653
I liked having options out there, the various religious buildings/knight chapter houses/unique settlement options.

Added a lot of flavour and potential to games, doubly so for total overhaul mods like Third Age.

>>187225504
true

>>187225813
pfft nothing personal kid

>>187225845
But you have more options and unique buildings even now

>>187225514
I play this series to have interesting battles between armies, this is fantasy, and I expect magic and such to be present but since it is TW I expect the dominant aspect of the game still be armies outmaneuvering each other.

Well this is not the case, first of all, the battles are still smaller than previous TW, something I was hoping they would fix with WH2, instead of progressing in terms of army size, we are regressing, the average unit is now 100 members on ultra.

Second, the battle was dominated by magic and not viceversa, units and maneuvering took a completely background role in the battle, the player was more concerned with spamming abilities than moving his troops, this is honestly completely different from TW which is why I advocate for another title.

Second, the battle ended so fast that even if he had not used spells there was little time for maneuvering, regardless of your opinions on hammer and anvil, even if you wanted to you wouldn't be able to pull off an hammer in that battle, the clash between the two swordsmen units almost ended instatly, something that left me aghast.

There are various other aesthetic things but that are honestly a matter of opinion.

>>187225504

>>187225504
>only 1 culture type
>easiest to balance

its the 'best' because it has the smallest scope.

its unambitious and simple

>>187225448
How is it compared to this https://youtu.be/D-8RQCwevAk . seems radically different to me. Wonder what changed. Even the skaven gameplay wasn't this short.

>>187226219
Did they gave any reasons for that or did they just blurt it out?

Never played FOR THE LADY before. Is King Louie the powerhouse or is it Alberic?

>>187225504
Yep.

>>187225947
>high level caster has powerful magic
oh wow whatever shall we do?

>>187226186
Just means you have to make choices when building and if you run out of towns to build in go conquer some more

>>187226254

Armies with more even rosters/magic maybe? Not sure.

>>187226282

Alberic is a financial powerhouse, stick him in an unique port and watch the dosh roll in. Alternatively you can go full evil with him and get one of the highest WS in the game

>>187225925
Not in Warhammer you don't, it has easily the dullest campaign map gameplay to date. Really turned me off and I won't be buying WH2 unless it's drastically different.

>>187226219
TWW1 that is

>>187226279
>Despite all the new unit types like giants and so on they still function very much like a normal total war unit. CA was too scared of making giants kill a lot of men with each swing, but making them super squishy against cannonballs and so on.

It went something like that.

>>187225813

>>187226186
I feel like that makes choices more relevant and it actually gives you a reason to plan ahead instead of just spamming buildings at random with no downside ever.

>>187226224
When CA has refused to fix it's broken AI for this long simple is best.

>>187226528
I agree, monster units are still functionally identical to standard units, there is no difference in the role of a great weapons unit and a troll unit for example except for a quirk or two, like regeneration or poison.

That's not the problem though the game is still radically different for other reasons, some of which I mentioned, units that should be radically different fulfilling roles previously fullfilled by infantry in historical titles is just another flaw.

>>187225947
That might sometimes be the case for late game armies, but early-mid game is basically the same as Shogun 2's fast and flashy battles. I guess that one isn't a total war game.


>>187226254
The armies were not equal in the dark elf battle.

Got any more of those really awesome hand drawn wizards?

>>187225947
>the clash between the two swordsmen units almost ended instatly,
Thought that was because of all the Archer fire and dark bolt thrower. Also it looked like the dark riders could've hammered some of those units if he hadn't used those bombardment spells

>>187226651
you're not wrong

>>187225947
I see your point dude but honestly battles being too fast comes out in every single game since people got used to long slogging matches in modded R1.

>>187226734
>there is no difference in the role of a great weapons unit and a troll unit

A troll/crypt horror unit inside a normal unit fighting another unit has much better synergy(behave better) than two normal units inside eachother fighting another unit. They do their support role well because of the splash damage and terror/fear.

That makes them pretty different imo.

>>187226909

Are there any strategy games similar to Total War with good AI? Not being snarky here, I'm legit wondering.

>>187226875
This.

The other engagement with the high elf blob vs the dark elf halberd unit was going to last for a while without player/ai intervention.

>>187227043
CA has monopoly on the style

Same as Paradox with GSG, sadly

Lothern Sea Guard is a pretty sexy unit 2bh

>>187227390
>Halberdiers with 160 range
(lol

They got shredded by Bleakswords with Delf murder buff

>>187225567

I liked M2's recruitment, where certain units were able to be re-recruited sooner than others. Meant it took time to accrue a super elite army. I do not miss pre Empire having to replenish manually.

Long as we complaining I feel like the dark elf roster is a bit underwhelming. No Kharybdis,
no Medusa/blood shrine, no doomfire warlocks, no sisters of slaughter, no Scourgerunner chariot.

>>187227043
If making a game "like TW but better" was easy we would have some competition by now, especially since the latest games enjoyed success in marketing and sales.

Are there any good youtubers, as in good at the game playing on legendary?

Even though I didnt like his Empire mod at all

>>187226495
You think the armies in the darkelf video where unbalanced?

>>187227809

No idea, just speculating. Maybe that "murderous whatever" thing the Delfs combined with the Hydra, magic and Black Ark bombardment was too much for the High Elves, compared to the Lizardmen army. I don't know.

>>187227809

It seemed like a pretty mid-tier army to me, some swordmasters, some white lions, the highest tier unit seemed to be the moon dragon Not that Malekith's army was much better, but he did have some black guard, and his bombardment stuff. Along with player controlled magic. Not sure for how much the bombardment counts but it seems like a pretty big deal.

>>187227798

Is it good? Should I spend the shekels on it?

>>187226497
>he plays a game named total war as a sim city simulator

>>187227506
Those units will generally be included either in the lord pack which adds that pirate guy or the one which adds that one old bitch witch

You can literally tell where they cut units just so they could put them into lord packs

>>187227809
The Delfs are unbalanced

Their infantry are flat out better than the Helves

Their ranged units are pretty much evidently shit but they have the same artillery as the Helves so they cancel each other out

Then you have Black Ark memery

You are literally fucked since the enemy gets 9 shots at you of varying sizes

If you are playing Helfs, Lizardmen, Skaven, etc. you have no way to beat a Black Ark without sending two full stacks

We'll have to see how other ritual rewards stack up to the Black Ark. But I do agree with the issue of Delfs/Helf unit stats. Currently the Helves seem undertuned to compensate for their >50% buff. But unit balance is generally the last thing on the list, so there may be hope yet.

It is now August, and the howls of dying slaves fill the bleak land of Naggaroth with a sweet cacophony. Very soon the Asur will experience such an atmosphere, for the Witch King is finalising his strategy for the coming campaign.

From all over the land come the lords and ladies of the Black Council, and it will be a permanant position for some. Ever eager to guide her son down the path she has divined, the great Hag Queen Morathi spends much time in council with her son. Though some sense conflict between them in the future, Morathi has promised her strongest pupils will join the legions of the Druchii.

In Har Ganeth the cavorting Brides of Khaine spill the blood of offerings to their God, whilst many a would be sacrifice is lost to the blades of the Executioners.
The Beastmasters of Clar Karond rouse their monstrous captives with many a laggard elf suffering in the process. All over Naggaroth the corsair fleets have been sent ahead to pillage and despoil the Black Council's choice of targets, a content glint could be seen in the Witch King's eyes, if anyone had the heart to look at them.

The time is now, the treasonous Asur will soon bow to the true Phoenix King whether they wish it or not. Domination by a best elf soon!

This isn't the first time the northern clients have caused trouble, Armenia rebelled unsuccessfully and its territory was annexed, but none of the other satraps dared ally themselves with them. Now the Caucasian states of Kartli and Arran are in open rebellion, and must be dealt with. Nobatia has taken the opportunity to secede as well, but they are a 1 settlement rump state that doesn't even have a fucking army

Its winter, which means that the mountain terrain of the caucuses is covered in snow, so the army located in Armenia is going to have to wait until spring before they can begin any offensives.

With the majority of my armies in the west to strike against the ERE, I've been able to lay siege to the undefended kartil/arranese territories in cappadocia and thracia. Meanwhile one of my armies in Africa has been sent to deal with the Nobatians, and I've raised another army in Arabia to go north if they are needed in the Caucuses.

I'm on the fence about what to do with sarmatia. I could just add it to my territory, but if I could force a peace deal that banishes arran/kartli to the steppe and keeps them as client states, that could be nice as well

will medusae have titties?

That'll be 2 Charlemagnes

Hey guys, played a lot the old total war titles (shogun 2 and the ones before) and skipped Rome/Attila.

Now I am 20 hours in Warhammer, and even though I'm enjoying it overall, I feel it kinda confusing on the campaign map. Everything looks similar, I don't get what I should or should not do. Initially I was trying to get engaged by completing the secondary objectives and stuff like that, but sometimes they are really not worth it or look random. I think the main issue for me is that I do not get how to develop an actual campaign strategy, I'm getting allied and then confederate with the guys of my faction... I'm warring with the closest enemies... Expanding, trying to build everything properly... But I do not feel engaged :( I am winning (avoided some error through savescumming but the overall strategy never got wrong) so I am asking you not how to git gud but how to git engaged in this.

Astragoth Ironhand, High Priest of Hashut, is the oldest living Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer-Prophet. When he was at the height of his powers he was the most potent sorcerer to walk the Plain of Zharrduk in a thousand years. Now his powers have begun to wane. His body is slowly succumbing to petrification. A decade ago he constructed a mechanical device by which he is transported from place to place.

His legs have long ceased to work and even his hands have now turned to stone. To an extent these have been replaced by the machinery grafted to his body. This engine was constructed by his slaves to plans created by Astragoth himself, and combines the undoubted skills of the Chaos Dwarf race with twisted dark science. Centuries ago, he was responsible for the internal exile of Drazhoath the Ashen to the Black Fortress, when he was just a minor Daemonsmith.

a year later and the rebels have failed to do anything beyond sacking trapezos. Now it is simply a matter of time before they are defeated. The only significant force left is holed up in Mtskheta, cut off from reinforcements to the east and west by Sassanid armies. Arran has been exiled to the steppe, and once Mtskheta falls Kartli will be as well

They seem to have handgunner tier ap missile damage with a lower range but easier to use arc. I think they are going to be extremely damaging and darren was just not using them correctly.

>>187228634
Having more damage would be fine if they were more fragile.
Isn't that how dark elves are in TT? Lodsedamage, but fragile units? At least, I'm fairly sure that's how Dark Eldar are, and I thought Dark Eldar would have drawn a lot from Dark Elves.

In TWW1 every base race got 1 DLC LL and 1 FDLC LL.

Dwarfs
>DLC Belegar
>FDLC Grombrindal

Greenskins
>DLC Skarsnik
>FDLC Wurrzag

Vampires
>DLC Ghorst
>FDLC Vlad
>FDLC Isabella

Empire
>DLC Volkmar
>FDLC lol

What do you think they'll be in TWW2 for their base races?

>>187248391
I've gotten 500+ on archaon once with flamestorm spam. Vortex spells can do some real work ever since the buff.

>>187248302
that and wardancers kill every factions low teir infantry and you get them really early

>implying the supposedly all powerful slann aren't warhammer's biggest jabronis

>>187248660

Malus Darkblade is more of a Legendary Hero, but they might do him

>>187248431
>Skaven
Definitely Ikit Claw with the popular missing Skrye units like Ratling guns included, Greyseer Thanquol of course.

>Lizards
Probably Lord Kroak's mummified corpse+his favorite skink's mummified corpse, or some other Saurus badass. The prophet of Sotek is dead at this point, right?

>Dark Elves
Malus Darkblade? IDK

>Helves
Fuck if I care, is there a guy who might like dragons too much? If there is he's my bet.

They aren't because HIGH ELVES and BRETTONIANS exist

>>187248829
>Lord Kroak

But Kroak can't move right? He's just a glorified artefact, he can't really lead troops into battle

Its really inconsistent, sometimes the little mummified skink that's kept with him jumps up and fights stuff when Kroak's up and about

>>187245407
>Those stats

Litteraly what.

Are they serious? Why did they change this

>>187248740
He's definately a Legendary Lord, his most recent fluff from when they killed off WHFB has him ruling the second most powerful city-state after Malekith and basically being marshal of the Dark Elves' armies.

>>187249680
no fun allowed

>>187249663
>didn't unlock any spell for him
Missed out, sword of Rhuin is a solid fucking spell. Slap it down on your chosen blob and they shred.
