Where did the Mannlet von Cuckstein meme originate? Not too familiar with the lore but I heard that in the end times he indirectly caused the destruction of the world. Is it just people being salty over it?

His campaign unmounted model is pretty small and there was screenshot where he was standing right next to fuckhuge Karl Franz on Deathclaw or something. I think there is also aftershocks from tabletop where GW ruined him in End Times.

Manlet because he is 5'11, is cowardly and backstabs Balthasar in the end times causing the old world to fall to chaos, all characteristics of manlets
Cuckstein because Konrad took all of his would be GF's and Nagash stops Manfred doing his own plans sans shanking Balthasar

Morathi.jpg
2MB, 3508x1840px
It is now September, and the return of the true Phoenix King is nigh. All across Naggaroth the legions of the Witch King beckon to their sovereigns summons.

Surveying his skin cloth campaign map for the last time, Malekith knows to be ever weary of the roving tribes in the north; and also not to be ignorant of any ambitious dreadlords.
Word has reached him that his mother has marched south without order, it is of little consequence, though the rumour that she has resurrected her cult of pleasure is troubling.

On Ulthuan his spies report that Tyrion is engaged with another cult, taking advantage of the conflict could allow the Witch King to establish another foothold on Ulthuan.

Further south where the shifting sands of Araby blow, it has been reported that the servile men of the Asrai have conquered swathes of land, the riches of this land could well aid Malekiths coffers if he chose to wrest it from them. Though another rumour, perhaps untrue, but not worth ignoring is that a hold of the ratmen is situated somewhere in this land.

Finally from out of the land of Lustria little has been heard, the most valuable pieces of information being that a notable lord of the lizardmen is currently fighting human settlers by himself, it could be advantageous to eliminate such an opponent as swiftly as possible. As for the other piece of information, it has been heard that the whoreson Teclis is leading an expedition on the southernmost tip of Lustria, supposing he survives the dangers of the land it would give Malekith great pleasure to have a rematch.

Regardless of where the first strike is made Malekith will control the vortex and regain his homeland. Domination by a best elf soon!

I wonder whether it will be possible to confederate with Morathi as Malekith in the first twenty turns or so (through subjugation).
DElfs seem to be the only faction where it seems possible to get both LL this way early in the game, given how close they are.

her faction definitely spreads chaos corruption. You can see one of her armies in the DE campaign lets play having the chaos symbol.
Question is, whether she as a character spreads chaos on the map. If so, there will be no point in confederating with her as Malektih

Is there a mod that fixes the god awful reinforcement system? I just finished a campaign where I auto resolved the last 60% of battles and never got to play the fucking video game.

Nonsense, my grasp was too tight if anything. The Elves were reeling from the war, and they've barely recovered. It was foolish to choose anarchy over peace.

>>188124240
>>188124348
No! The Grand Empire must balance peace between the Elves, Men, and Dwarves. I will resubjugate the Wood Elves and they will accept peace!
>>
>>188124197
That's dodging what I take issue with and just forcing me to play those dumb battles that in some cases are unwinnable without autoresolve.

If I have three empire armies travelling together to take a norsca village defended by a lord with a stack of giants and monsters, why did they drift miles apart from eachother and reach the fight in a triangle? How did only the "left" of the army list get there (often basic infantry) so that even if everyone does manage to get into the fight you're left without any cavalry or ranged units or artillery?

Horde factions don't have this trouble so much, but factions with land might have to maintain multiple, weaker armies to defend borders and this comes up more and more, especially against Norsca, Chaos, Wood Elves that will have fewer, rediculously expensive armies.

I hope it's not this fucked in 2.

The elves have been subjugated once more, and luckily this time, the War penality is less than last time, by about 200!
Maybe I can get the Elves to mellow the fuck out before they try to declare war again.

Unfortunately, since the Elves and Dwarves aren't open-minded to the idea of a peaceful union between our three races, they're now both very fond of each other and very not-so-fond of me. I might be able to use this to my advantage, however, as giving gifts to one will slightly benefit the other. I'll be reinforcing the garrison around Athel Loren until these tree-children learn to behave.

He's just generally less successful than his (vampire, not biological) daddy Vlad.

The end times literally starts with Balthazar Gelt dropping a magical cage around all of Sylvania, so Manny gets desperate and seeks Nagash's power.

As the End Times ends Balthazar is the incarnate(has had the wind bound to him, in an effort to fight magic(chaos) with magic(power rangers)) of metal.
As the last battle with chaos is happening, Manny feels extra angry about Balthazar starting what would end up fucking him over as hard as it did. So he shanks him in the back.
Then the world ends and Archaon and Sigmar are the only survivors and because Sigmar is a shit cunt he recreates reality to be 40k-lite.

I could have ended this over two hundred turns ago by just razing Athel Loren, the Dwarves, and that one town the Border Princes had. I've basically been building and throwing gold at the elves and dwarves for almost 150 turns.

Actually no, I went back to check, I beat Archaon at 265 (I have a mod that delays Archaon because it was boring just re-settling the land he razes. I wanted to give the northern empire a chance.)

Bretonnia and I were pretty much BFFs for the longest time, until he was eaten by the Welves when I was settling Norsca. The entirety of my military at the time was situated in the North, fighting the Chaos Hordes, the Norscan tribes, and keeping some of the less reputable Empire factions docile. The settling of Norsca was pretty slow, given the Chaos attrition, but with Ghal Maraz and Volkmar's weapon giving +10 PO factionwide, it wasn't so bad.
Speaking of which, Hochland was a surprise this time around. They did not want to confederate at all, and ended up marching into Norsca with me to settle some land. Turned out to be their downfall, because they couldn't maintain the public order to keep those settlements, and they ended up losing all their Norscan holds. They wanted to confederate after that, as they felt they had lost almost half their empire, the chumps.
Until that point, I was actually going to give the World's Edge mountains to the Dwarves, but Kislev, of all people, had settled them, being pushed out of the Oblast by Chaos. I needed to either destroy them and let the dwarves settle the mountains, or confederate them and take them for myself, and I chose the latter. I won the grand campaign with that.
From there, I pushed south, killed Mannfred, who had taken Zhufbar after I pushed him out of Sylvania almost 50 turns prior, and started waging war on the Greenskins, who were winning the Badlandsbowl pretty badly. Even the Border Princes were reduced to one city in Karak Hirn turf.
It was mostly ruin colonisation after that, and then I turned my eye to the Elves and took Bretonnia. I sacked Athel Loren, but refused to raze it, so I could have a unified Athel Loren as my vassal, and that's when I started posting screenshots.

Yeh. Gotta admit, I did it mostly to say I finished the empire campaign, but I'm enjoying myself. I normally just do the grand campaign objectives and call it a day, usually coloring the entire map is tedious after a while, which is why I'm trying so hard to put the welves and dwarves under thumb.

And so a new age has come.

Karl Franz I, Protector of the Empire, Defiler of the Dark, Elector Count of Reikland and Prince of Altdorf has united not only the scattered human fractions under his banner, but the whole of the Old World! From the savage Norsca, where the barbarian tribes have been shattered, their masters thwarted, and their lands purified by holy Sigmar's touch, to the brutal badlands, where the Emperor himself lead the assault that shattered the greenskin tide lead by the legendary brute Grimgor Ironhide. Even fair Bretonnia has joined the Grand Empire, though the Lion no longer flies over Couronne. The death of King Louen Lioncour lead to a vacuum in stability for the region, but it was Karl Franz who stepped in to free the people of Bretonnia once more. Now, though the Knights of the Grail have been disbanded, their training will not be forgotten.

Joining the Men of the Empire in this new era of peace are the Elves of Athel Loren, and the Dwarves of Karaz-a-karak. Emperor Karl Franz has decreed that these two races shall retain their respective cultural capitals, but are entirely beholden to the Empire and Emperor, politically. They join the Empire not as slaves or the conquered, but brothers and allies! The Elves enjoy a new age of peaceful isolation, their forest protected and safeguarded in exchange for their knowledge and crafts. The Dwarves resettle long abandoned strongholds and reclaim long untread underways, with Men and Elves fighting beside them against the horrible creatures that dwell beneath the world.

And so a new age has come! Hail Karl Franz! Hail the Empire! Hail Sigmar!

Now to kill everyone as Vlad.

>>
>>188131570
Sssssort of. Mortars and rockets both specialize in killing light infantry, which I've never thought was worth using for your artillery. I'd rather get a cannon than a rocket, for example. However, mortars have the big advantage of firing arc over rockets, which actually counts a lot when the melee starts and blobs form. Your rockets would blast your infantry to hell as well, while the mortar (mostly) would just kill enemies. But from far away the rocket is better, yeah.

>>
>>188131893
True, but when I take artillery, I decide on what to take based on what do I want to get rid of before the melee starts, since once it does most artillery becomes fairly useless for anything other than harassing routing units. And I rarely want to get rid of the low armor infantry units first. Rather get a cannon and shoot at the Arachnarok/Black Orcs/Boar Boys than at the normal Boys.

I do think rockets are decent against a couple factions. WEs and VCs, mainly.

Probably, yeah. Same goes for Teclis(possibly even more so if his spells are shite, whereas dark magic seems passable), but at least he has a superb start position.

Depends on how gimmicky she'll be. She may have chaos/her own corruption which might be interesting enough to try. Also her faction bonuses may be very different, but perhaps she can confederate really easy, so you'll essentially have both quicker with her.

>>188132168
Yeah in my experience artillery isn't very effective compared to normal missiles(except having something accurate to snipe hellcannons and helblasters in general against stunties/chaos), I usually just take the minimum to harass the opponent and draw them in.

Helblaster is close range enough that you can sometimes flank with it as well.
I fucking adore the Helblaster. It's probably my favorite unit in game 1. A shame it's so unviable in MP.

Speaking of which LL you'll play, what are some cool coop/pvp campaign pairings you can think of?

Skaven v skaven would be neat, their starts are quite similar. I wonder how the visibility of skaven to other skaven functions.

Honestly the skaven visibility thing is the one factor that makes me want more than two player mp campaigns.

There are also the end times pairings of teclis and malekith. And morathi and tyrion.
Though by the time the former pair can actually help one another out the game is pretty much over. So they would be better suited to pvp.

Fuck, extend it to the combined campaign if you want.
What pairings do you find interesting?
of those bothering to answer this thought exercise how many are actually going to play multiplayer campaign?

I've only played one with a buddy before, back in Rome 2.
I play a decent amount of multiplayer quick battles, but the system CA has in place is shit. Need blind drafts.
Though I'll be playing the fuck out of FFA battles. We gotta have some sort of horrifically poorly organized shitshow here to decide who the best(gets ganged up on the least) LL is.

One of the ones that starts on kyushu (the island at the south/left of the map) can give you a nice secure starting position, with enemies only coming from one direction once you've taken the island. Shimazu in the base game and Saga in FOTS are both solid, with good faction bonuses.

read descriptions, but Shogun 2 is set in late 1500s. Basically Oda Nobunaga was a warlord who nearly conquered all Japan and wanted to be a supreme ruler but he was assassinated and all his generals made bids for power. All the clans are mostly led by those generals. Out of the factions in the game, Tokugawa ultimately won but they are fairly weak in game for some reason. The factions are also split along unit lines, they all have special versions of units (apart from tokugawa who get an agent). Otomo are DLC but if you want a christian army with gunlines and cannons and good navies for trade they are the best. Their main problem is converting buddhist japan since they are the only christians.

In FotS it depends if you want to be modern or traditional though its not totally divided, shogunate forces can get modern gunlines. Tosa is basically the Otomo of this game, it has modern ironclad navies that can call down artillery in battles near the coast and marines. Ainu is probably the best shogunate force.
>>
>>188135601
Nobunaga is like twelve at the game start.
Tokugawa are weak because they hid behind Oda skirts up until the end when they seized power.

I sometimes give allies war coordination targets well away from what I'm planning to attack.

And then another ally besieges the settlement during the same end turn phase, meaning I STILL can't attack it.

The start time for the Sengoku Jidai was a little weird in that most of the main players weren't established or were kids at the time.

Nobunaga is too big a name to not have in there. It would make more sense to start it off in like 1570.

Nobunaga is starting to control central japan, the Tokugawa are independent allies, Shingen and Kenshin are still around, Hideyoshi is around, Masamune, Yukimura, Mitsunari, Yoshihiro, etc are all alive but young. By 1570 most of the huge names of the period are alive and starting to shake out.

Do you know anything about ASOIAF armies beyond the most basic stuff like Dorne has spears, Dothraki are nomadic horsemen, and Greyjoys have boats? You don't, because that's fucking it, the author has zero interest in military or battle tactics, it would all be CA making up a dozen units from scratch just like for Elder Scrolls. And TES is just more balanced because all the factions are either fantastical or thematically unique, whereas in ASOIAF a lot of the westeros armies would have to be very similar.

not sure how licensing would work, they'd probably need tolkien and new line to work on it. Lords are a massive problem with lotr but maybe a warhammer lite LL system would work.

I just bought Warhammer and its pretty g so far. Only big problem is that the guides for chaos are outdated since the august (?) patch, as all of them are telling me to loot first then raze, blissfully unaware that the game forces you to raze now. This was a keystone in every guide's strategy and now that it's been removed you can't powerlevel Sigvald's entourage into chaos giants and all that bumfuckery. So the start remains hard. Blegh. Any advice?
>>
What are good units for a mainline in Attila? Playing as the Saxons I'm currently using Nordic Spearmen and some of the pikes you get early on.
I just unlocked the Hearthguard which is a swordunit, should I ditch pikes and spears in favour of them?

If you want to farm exp, sit siggy viggy in someone's province and just sit there shitting out corruption.
Eventually, when public order reaches -100, a rebel warband will spawn and you can kill them for xp. Raiding stance will shit corruption and create a public order malus, so that's the most efficient.

>>188141365
Nah it's just flavor of the decade, that's all.
Early on the books were okay. Early on the show was okay. Both have turned to shit, with the show leading the charge, but it's still worth a gaff.

It obviously has no staying power, people won't care about it when it's over, it won't get reruns.

It has the normie audience. Look at all the shit normies will watch anyway. It's not that offensive then.

And the Vale has knights and there's the golden company and plenty of other renown units and and armies and mercenaries and most of them have at least a visual description and many have a strong visual identity from the show.

There are already mods for Mount & Blade that basically show what a Total War Game of Thrones would look like and it's awesome.

It's a wonder you actually read LotR. Maybe the GoT that you seem to despise so much is more up your alley. The show at least.

LotR isn't really that interesting. Might have been one of the first to throw all the fantasy elements together but its been done better by other dudes.

Also some of the most boring villains ever. They don't do anything and the one time you see the big bad he chips his fingernail and gibs.

Its ran its course and if it wasn't for the movies wouldn't be nearly as popular.

I doubt many remember them but I made some comparisons of the Attila and Warhammer designer and programmer credits a while back, as well as rather ugly "compilation" of the designers of every Total War. I thought I was done after that but my autism couldn't let it rest, so I went and made comparisons of the Attila/Warhammer team in four areas (animators, artists, designers and programmers).

>why.jpg

Well, because they're quite different games, for good and bad Shogun 2 is better than either anyway and for a long time I believed that they were made by completely different teams within CA. Turns it wasn't quite like that. This will be the last time I do something like this, since I've posted my comparisons a couple of times here and there, mostly to see if I could spark some conversation on it. After this I'll contain my autism and stop spamming them. I just thought this might be of interest some Anons.

1/4

10 out of Attilas 11 animators are on the Warhammer team. The Dunham guy, or at least someone with the exact same name, is credited elsewhere as an artist.
>>
>>188143379
It's almost like a team of different people can gather enough ideas to make every game different or something. Of course, some ideas will be better received than others.

I went ahead and installed the new SFO with the unit removal mod, much nicer without that extra shit.

Also installed GCCM, holy shit it is a huge difference. I'd forgotten what it was like to play on maps that were more than just a sparsely forested fields with you and your enemies facing each other. There are actual tactics to be used, choke points to hold (and miss and get raped in the ass by boar riders because you didn't cover every entrance)

Finally, honorable mention to my new favorite mod, Mixu's Legendary Lords. It add's a bunch of lords and heroes to the game

GOBBO WHOOORE!

>>188144060
To be fair GW added a lot of lore to the game in order to develop it enough for a wargame, it would be a good base.
>>
>>188143271
Yes they do.

This is one of the failings of the setting in regards to its representation in a war game.

The setting is one of peace where war has emerged. Certain places could field a better equipped and larger military because of their wealth(from different sources), but nobody really does. In peace time they do the bare minimum to supply the basic levy requirement to their respective liege and otherwise de-militarize.
Which means most things just kinda blend together.

You may argue that the setting does not have to take place at the same time of the books, but you would lose most of your audience if they couldn't play as johnny snow or little guy.

Also knights buy their own shit because they're all rich nobility.

How are you supposed to concentrate your forces to one flank when executing the oblique order? Massing units and ordering them to attack only results in them bunching up in a line, so are you meant to use one to outflank while the other engages directly? What makes that any different from hammer and anvil?
>>
>>188149837

>How are you supposed to concentrate your forces to one flank when executing the oblique order?
You use your best troops for starters, by positioning you can end up with 2 units vs 1 if the enemy has a wide enough front

>What makes that any different from hammer and anvil?
Part of the anvil is the hammer for starters. You can end up needing to do it if you can't rely on your cav to win the cavalry duels on the flanks but you have better infantry.

I'm mostly interested to see how people play the campaginmaps mostly. I always end up turteling an don't know how to break that habit. I also almost always attack in superiour numbers since it's the logical way to prevent casualties and dominate the enemy. However it leads to me playing extremely boring campaigns in which I spend the most time on the campaignmap and never getting to play interesting battles.

I also don't know how people are able to play Total War as soon as your land becomes big. It aslways feels to me like I have not enough Armies to cover my borders and I fear some Stack will slip through and completely go mental on my unsecured provinces.

Teach me how to Total War guys.

Playing sound is playing safe, of course that ends up being boring, that's why early game is usually more tense and fun, mistakes there can really fuck you up.

>>188150768
Massing units only works like that where you can apply them.
If the quarters are too tight or the simulation(like total war) doesn't count much for troop density, then quantity doesn't work.

use the units to wrap around the flank, or use large units and infantry together if you're playing warhammer, because they can wade through.

Other than that rather than any specific tactic, just apply the basic principle.

Hold with as little as you can, and use absolutely everything else to win part of the engagement, then you free up your units holding there, leading to a bigger advantage you can throw at the next part of the engagement down the line and so on.

Standard cavalry hammer and anvil is much the same, or using missiles, weaken a flank before engagement so you break through it more quickly.

You should try to completely change your mindset. Stop focusing on winning and instead pretend you are the bad guy. The bad guy is supposed to be stronger and then lose to the underdog in a climactic battle after all. Like you are the Empire in Star Wars and your enemies are the Rebels

Or pretend you play a movie. Basically get rid of the winning mentality.

Just don't go into the red(unless you're playing a looting horde), and keep a lump sum to pull some emergency units out your ass. Those plus garrison defenses wreck enemies pretty hard.
build your economy before your military.

Push yourself to fight battles that are "fair", they're more fun and you get better at the game.

Remember that the AI is a retard, the worst they can do is annoy you badly. Put that cunt in its place.

It's kinda like why people speed-run games.
If they trip up early enough you reset. Even if you aren't doing it competitively, it just feels wasted.
I'll play like EU3 or something and plot out a world conquest run. If something fucks up early I'll restart, if something fucks up later I'll swallow it.

It's the satisfaction to a plan proceeding along with how much fucking up puts you back.
The balance between proceeding and enjoying the organic experience and avoiding dealing with some bullshit luck is a fine one that not many games manage.

All I can think of off the top of my head is the original x-com. It has the perfect balance of punishment. The reboot games are skewed a bit too much towards savescumming because so much can go into just one battle.

Total War can kinda be like that.

I can sort of understand that in long running games. Like, for TW it's usually not the case since you have time to get your objectives or even ignore them and go with the flow, but if you play something like a minor in HoI3 your early game can really make or break the campaign.

Jesus Christ, Gelt's globals are great but he still sucks a fat dick early on in battle. And holy fuck Volkmar fucking sucks.

You'd figure a faction without an alternate start would at least have cool lords but they all suck. Franz is only good when he gets Bigbird and his new unique skill tree is fucking worthless.

There are probably tons of mods that buff lords but it's better if you just make your own so you can customize it the way you want.

For example I make all LLs immune to knockdown, immune to fatigue, unbreakable and reduce the wait time between their attack animations. This makes them feel right to me, I can keep them on foot without being disadvantaged, they're noticably better than regular lords now, especially the melee ones, but not terribly OP. Others might feel this is too much, others still that it's not enough. Just do it yourself and you'll be happy with it.

following the defeat of Dagoth's main force, we take his other armies apart bit by bit in night battles

our archers massacre them in each battle

Have some unit at the back/flank ready to fuck anything up that tries to sneak in from behind

>>188165335
dude it's the same as every TW game

>>188165530
warhounds can't handle armor for shit so have like a greatsword unit sitting in the back killing them off when they attack your missiles
>>
>>188165530
Then put heavy inf on your flanks.
>>
>>188165619

Can the AI handle it?
>>
>>188165530
You hammer the anvil after you won the cavalry fight anyway. If you want to do it sooner use hard hitting infantry to do it while cavalry works on the flanks and then engages skirmishers.
>>
>>188165778
Can the AI handle standard siege maps?
>>
>>188165746
then what will I use for my anvil?
>>
>>188165624
Not him, but whenever I try to hammer and anvil, the AI always spreads out to engulf my flankers.
Do I need like, stealthed units or some shit?
>>
>>188165940

Better than they can most of GCCMs.

there's a good bit for CA to work with, and early medieval is a good period for habbenings within the sphere of the isles, it's retarded to do this relativity shite comparing early medieval Irish habbenings and events on the isles then to what was happening with Byzantium or whoever else you'd choose

It did alright actually. I fucking blasted them to shit on the walls with my artillery and then stormed them, they never stood a chance there but then they blocked me at one of the bridges. If they'd had a bigger army it would have gone down to some pretty bloody street fighting but they broke.

>>188165891
bretonnia's anvil is quite fragile
against chaos they get wrecked, i need to hurry up
>>
>>188165663
Ranged units are generally weak and are slow to turn and have to be aligned to fire. You literally can just rotate the enemy line over and over with hounds while your own close. If they don't have cav that can beat the hounds they get their flank.
>>
>>188166217
literally have 1 shitty melee unit sitting with your archers because hounds lose to everything in melee that isn't missile inf

Don't use your melee cav to chase them down, that's retarded because they are too fast

Don't use a shitload of missiles in your army if you can't protect them

Yes, but you'll most likely have to quarrel with other factions first
>>
>>188167147
Yeah, not grimgor specifically, but yeah
>>
>>188167147
If you pack your shit and migrate to Border Princes ASAP and then declare war on the dwarves to keep them in check, yeah. Otherwise probably not.

Why are there no randomly generated maps when everything vanilla looks like randomly generated shit anyway

Empire is probably gonna get redesigned since it fights each other until chaos shows up with a small mix of colonizing Sylvania

>modders have to fix some major CA fuckup in a Total War game

What is this, like the third time this has happened?
>>
>>188167964
What's the fuckup other than CA being lazy?

Modders did a great job btw, I especially like the maps for battles near dwarven settlements
>>
>>188167737
they would need a tool for that and they are the same people who even't care about giving orcs their own settles maps
>>
>>188167964
Modders always had to fix something, arguably they didn't in Attila and Napoleon, not accounting for S1 and M1 which were good enough.
>>
>>188168146

>Modders did a great job btw

The AI often sends in units piecemeal and sometimes doesn't even use all of it's siege equipment.

>>188168340
CA's fault
Modders didn't touch AI

It sometimes has retarded pathfinding and can't handle impassable terrain very well
Just look at what happens when you try to line up units near big rocks (like on the first Empire quest battle map with the ambush)

You had almost the same shit with vanilla settlement battles in R2 and Attila
>>
>>188168549

GRUDGED
>>
>>188168612
Shogun 2 pathfinding could get wacky too.
>>
>>188168612

Well, they've touched something, because I've never once in vanilla had the AI make 10 siege towers and then not use a single one. In modded maps, this has happened.

why are riflemen such shit in siege defense?
everything obscures their lines of fire
>>
>>188169526
and still will be better than the CA maps
>>
Is there a mod that allows me to put cannons on walls or something? I feel like direct fire cannons are kind of useless in defensive sieges. Any advice?
>>
>>188169689
You can only put cannons on walls if you're playing the CA dwarf trailer battle
>>
>>188169667

If the AI can't even attack with all it's units, no.
>>
>>188169526
>not having a comfy grudgetelling by the fire with your dwarfbros
>>
>>188169689
put the cannons in front of the gate with soldiers in the sides
>>
>>188169526
Pretty sure that's because the modder added a large impassable zone around the braizer
>>
>>188169689
There are some custom maps that allow this. The GCCM for Karaz a Karak lets you. But generally speaking no.

>>
>>188169689
>>188169817

I wonder if it would be possible to make buildings/or hills behind the walls to put cannons and other non-catapult artillery on. AI probably wouldn't be able to handle it though.

You can put them at the elbows and they are alright until the enemy sieges that section. Some (upgraded?) Walls have elbows that the enemy can't ladder.

>>188170145
i've seen a custom map that just used an elevation, like a platform that lets you station troops on it. it served as an indestructable wall you had to get around to get to the troops. or use flyers.
id like artillery to actually be a fucking advantage in the defense.
>>
>>188169689
You should probably be able to do it easily, it seems you literally just have to tick a box that says can climb ladders and stairs and then you can put them on walls.
