Wew our noble tradition of rolling for a new campaign is in danger. Either some janny really hates fantasy or is pretty strict about enforcing rules.
If I wont make it fight on!

how the fuck am I supposed to win the greenskin campaign on VH when dwarves and orcs team up against me? I can't even make it to turn 20 without losing black crag. there has to be some bullshit on the higher difficulties that makes the other AI ignore each other and fight the player

any tips from people who have done it? trying to get all the achievements before TWW2 comes out

Are upkeep costs in Warhammer too high?

>>187703394
I'm ok with them, the upkeep in Attila always felt too high for me.

>>187703394
not really, mid tier units are perfectly effective so high tier should be extortionate, also lore wise it'd cost a fortune to house shit like dragons and giants and elite units.

>>187702892
There's always a retard new janitor who does that.

Pick Grimgor
Get a waagh going by beating up Redfangs and the southern Dwarfs, force both of them into a peace treaty.
Immediately go to the main Dwarf faction and try to eradicate them asap, otherwise you will have to deal with three strong legendary lords constantly sending out superior stacks.
The Black Crag garrison can easily deal with rebels, remember to build a boss tent second.

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 Malekith. 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!

Ungor for unpredictability.
Atleast as a slave you're useful, but ungors are seen as worthless, and not even protected as property

chaos now have the beastmen options of loot and raze vs. raze for growth. Razing for growth gives replenishment also. Awakened tribes start vassalised automatically and you have the same norsca mechanic where if you defeat a norscan leader you can force them to be vassals

-being an ungor would suck
-Being a peasant would depend on whether your lord is both stupid and a dick or not
-being a slave in naggaroth would suck but in order to be enslaved for a long time you'd have to actually be useful and thus not too expendable
-being a clan rat would suck hard, pretty much the same as being an ungor in being at the bottom totem of a society that eats its own
-being a peasant in sylvania also depends on whether your vampire count views you as cattle or just as a subject
-greenskins are dumb as fuck and don't really care, the only sucky part would be no fighting
-Bretonnians aren't rapey like the Imperials so they'd probably not bully Arabyan girls

Am I a shitter for getting the improved trade mod in Warhammer? It just makes resource buildings actually useful to upgrade fully to make trade more valuable.

Oh but i guess you are right
Bretonnians knights are sanctimonious because of your head lore

>>187706616
From the scale of Gotrek & Felix to Genevieve Dieudonné, how relevant was that book?

>>187707168
It's useful in Vanilla sure, it just irks me that you only utilize tier one amount of resources per trade partner so upgrading all the resource buildings does practically nothing when combined with the shitty diplomacy of VH campaigns to make trade akin to giving you all their children as hostages for the AI factions.

>>187707009
In their own armybook its noted how bret peasants are open to their lord whims

Do you honestly believe that rape is out of bounds?

>>187707563
not him but yeah i do especially with what little info you provided
what with the whole chivalry thing

>>187707563
Why the fuck would any Bretonnian noble fuck a malnourished inbred retard peasant?

>>187707168
In practice it makes the game easier of course, but the trade really doesn't make much sense in vanilla I believe.
A bigger partner should take up more resources, but they don't. So having 5 tiny partners is superior to having 1 faction that's larger than them combined. At least that's what the mod changed quite a while ago, haven't looked at it in a long time.

>>187706597
Actually there was minor work done in empire and S2 was moddable, pity that S2 modding died out fast. With all the stuff available from vanilla and fots plus some long term dedication it could have been the right platform for a victoria total conversion

>>187706980
It gives you more money, so yeah its kinda a cheat mod

>>187707695
Chivalry does not include peasants my man.

lets combine the brettonian lore rape question with the last lore rape derail that was here and ask the pertinent question: what if the brettonian knight is also a skaven, and the peasant lady is fat

>>187707701
>>187707695

Ok anon
Ignore the sanctioned lore for your own headcanon
You faggots cant even see how bretonnia lore is intentionally written to point out the hipocrisy of nobles who think they are chivalrous but treat peasants as their expendable toys

The whole end times lore was just karmic retribution

>In the vanilla game the amount of commodities you can export to a single trade partner is capped to 12 units no matter how many regions your trade partner owns. This makes upgrading your resource producing buildings kind of pointless, since you will produce much more goods then you can hope to trade. This mod increases the amount of exportable goods in relation to the number of regions your trade partner owns. For each region up to 5 you can export 4 commodities. After 5 regions this amount gets progressivly less with a maximum of 50 commodities at 20 regions. Prices for commodities were adjusted accordingly to not inflate the economy. The mod also increases the trade tariffs income slightly (from 0.75 combined gdp to 1.0) to make trade treaties with smaller nations more lucrative.
still does ye, great mod

>>187707695
>what with the whole chivalry thing

The whole chivalry thing is more a guideline than anything, knights know that they can do stuff and are supposed to help the peasants, but they have no idea how a peasant should be helped in the first place, apart from obvious stuff like slaying open threats.

Back in June 21014, the little Ukrainian software company Game-Labs LLC and designer Nick Thomadis produced a gem of a Civil War battle game on Gettysburg, 1863. It had a sort of a TW (Total War, the series of games by Creative Assembly) feel, and it should have. Thomadis has long been known as the king of TW modders, to include his DarthMod AI improvement system.

Now at the very time the Colonies seem so eager to refight the “recent unpleasantness between North and South,” how appropriate that on 14th July 2017 Nick and the lads have dropped the second game in the series – Ultimate General: Civil War. Think this is just Ultimate General: Gettysburg with a bunch of extra historical battles to fight? Well, guess again. This newest to what I hope are a lot more edition is what the Total War series could have been and should have been, historically accurate with a healthy garnish of elegant simplicity.

Put it all together and you have an (more-or-less) historically accurate wargame that focuses the player on his job as an army or corps commander using a simple but elegant system that not only works seamlessly, but actually looks close to the real thing. Forget refusing the left regiment in your brigade. That’s not your job. Plan, support, launch, react and watch the fun as your troops do theirs. For $29.99 US, it’s shekels well spent.

And CA-SEGA take note! This is the way a wargame is supposed to work.

My dads gay son works at CA and told me that Tomb Kangz are the first DLC coming with the combined map.

>>187709446
Yeah its possible to get near max rank warrior priests but by then the game is over because warhammer is so fast.

Does warhammer still crash if you mod units above 200 men?

>>187709690
They're not though. Shogun 2 had them at 160 for samurai, 200 for ashigaru, 80 for cav. Older games mostly had infantry at 120 and cav at like 60 or 40.

PROS OF 1HP SYSTEM

-Ranged combat looks a lot better
-Units don't suddenly start dying all at the same time

PROF OF HEALTHBAR

-A model is not either dead or completely unharmed
-More seamless damage transition in melee

All in all I would say 1HP is better because healthbar system represents ranged combat really bad but 1HP is still functional for melee

>>187710716

CA are absolutely shit at making games to be honest. Competition when?

>>187710876
I think the healthbar system is better for warhammer because it allows for more granularity with the higher diversity in units.
Even if you give monsters and lords like a 100 hp instead, you'd have to give them some kind of high probability to resist damage so they don't instamelt to one or two ranged volleys, which might introduce some stupid rng deaths.

>>187712000
I don't see why it couldn't be made to work, but it might not work as well.
I also forgot to mention that healing won't work as well with 1hp system, because it would either make it so you couldn't heal regular infantry or it would have to resurrect them like invokation of nehek.

I think they should've done something with it, like having set entrances to the underway at different points of the map, then when you enter one you select where you want to exit, and after a certain number of turns you arrive there, with a chance of different mishaps along the way.

People who expected a full underway map were being stupid, it would've ended out as badlandsbowel 2.0 with only three races to populate the whole thing.

>not waiting until they're done so you can skip the stupid parts
How inefficient of you.

>>187716826
The two playing are sort of painful to watch, and we got as much QUEEK EARLY CAMPAIGN footage as anyone could want when the press embargo lifted. They chose the single most oversaturated section of the game to show us again, this time with poorer presentation and painful commentary.

what happened to auto resolve? did they break it:^)

>>187717074

I hope you never watched any gameplay ever of the campaign cause every youtube that played it was a fucking retard

>skaven settlement
looks cool

>>187717138
definitely, hopefully they lose this campaign live

>>187717169
>>187717130

>That auto-resolve bar

"High Elves will be under powered" they said.

>>187716825
wait why? couldn't they just like the design like this guy >>187717157 ?

>>187717252
The entire army is skaven slaves and half hp because they colonized the settlement and did not heal afterwards.

>>187717169
Probably because of Lothern Sea Guard being overvalued as fuck just like Outriders were?

>splitting your forces when you're in a weaker position
Is this what an understander of strategy would do?

>>187717130
How can they not know that you regenerate more in cities?

>>187717172
there are two or three guys who aren't bad, but most are casual trash

>>187717252
I believe that's more an issue with skaven being fodder than high elves being shit

>>187717271
any time someone mentions "drone" in these threads it's a sign to disregard their opinion at this point

Soundtrack sound alright but these faggots talk too much so cant hear it alright

>>187717090
CA doesn't hire antisocial depressive spergmen. Strange.

>>187717341

Dude you don't even want to know how bad the average player is. Even the average reddit player is significantly more informed than most of the tards that buy this game

>>187717486
They hired Darren

>>187717320
you think so?

>>187717252
Dude only recruited Skavenslaves because MEMES XD
It's like his numerical superiority only comes from Bretonnian peasants, yeah you outnumber your foe 2 to 1 easily but surely you don't expect it to be an... effective army?

>>187717486
haha so right *dabs* *whips & neigh neighs*

>>187717384
But what if there are actualy drones here anon? Do you have proof that I am not a hyper intelligent talking ant male?

>>187717548
And you see how that turned out

>>187717320

Might be more an issue of skaven lacking armor piercing

>>187717486
Except I am neither of those, and I am actually playing the game decently which is what people want to see? As opposed to pointless unfunny banter
