Total War has to me, always been about making up your own little stories for why things need to be done the way they are done.

Which is why TW has always been such a cool roleplaying game. I sometimes make up my own timelines and histories.

I don't mind AoS to be honest since I do like alternate worlds and dimensions fiction.

What I don't like is that they killed Fantasy and replaced it with AoS, and also decided to kill Slaanesh. Because apparently it's alright to have a god dedicated to indiscriminate genocide as long as you don't show a nipple.

Havent played a single TW but want to get into them, which ones are the absolute two best games I should play before this one?

Thanks in advance
>>
>>338122205
Shogun 2 then Attila, but Warhammer comes out next week. You really don't have a lot of time to play them.
>>
>>338122205
IMO just pick one from the historical period you like most
For example, Empire was my favorite but it is widely seen as the shittiest one
>>
Who is going to use sigvald as a base for arthas here?
>>
>>338122205

I'd advice you try out Rome 1, and Medieval 2.

That being said, you don't really NEED any background experience to pick up Total Warhammer (I'm still enraged they fucking missed that naming opportunity).

There's no continuity to this game and a lot of the mechanics in the older games have changed or been updated, so it may be best to just go in blind, I'd say.
>>
Benchmarks when?
>>
never played a Total War game but they look like a big clusterfuck.

Don't really see the appeal but I like Warhammer so I'll pick it up.
>>
>>338122205
OG Rome is still the best.

It has the best atmosphere, music, and everything else. Only problem is the sometimes braindead AI, but that's not a thing they managed to improve at all. Med II is also fun, Shogun 2 is pretty good, and Atilla is also good. Rome II is unoptimized hot garbage that still refuses to run properly, and Empire is hit or miss.

I hope they do the same with Kislev and Border Princes. Right now one of them has Empire units, and nobody knows if it's the same for Kislev.

Skaven live underground. The best way would be to make them the enemy of the dorfs since the lore would allow them to occupy their mountain cities, but that role has already been fulfilled by the Orcs.

Not sure how invading their cities would be handled either.
>>
>>338122997

If they're a good faction, add a nice chunk of landmass to the campaign map, and such I don't mind paying. Sounds like an actual expansion pack to me.

I'm not a VC player one bit, but their gameplay have been shown to be pretty damn fun. I'm almost inclined to pick VC at start simply because of that. Empire and Dorfs are pretty vanilla compared to the rest.

>>338123317
Yeah but this is a fantasy game. I want to play some fantasy. I'll get around to Empire. But Chaos are just better humans.

It's literally the Horde mechanic from Attila. You will either love or hate it.

What exactly are the advantages to Chaos? The way I see it the other races all have some clear advantage.

>Dorf
Good range, and heavy infantry.
>Humies
Griffons, and amazing cavalry.
>Greenskins
Stupidly high numbers and savage infantry.
>Cunts
Army that somehow grows after every battle and magic.

What do us Chaosbros get? Nothing?

Chaos in 40k is fine because they're just another faction. Both 'Nids and Necrons are arguably more dangerous that Chaos.

However, in Fantasy they are the opposite. It's always Chaos. Always has been.

Why would it be anything other than a pure arrhythmic cacophony that only only demonic or the insane can actually make a melody out of?

Wrong.

Chaos in 40k has always been stated to be the Greatest Threat. The Necrons and Tyranids are both specifically said to be lesser threats than Chaos. Heck, the Emperor himself and the Grey Knights know that Chaos is going to win in the end.

>>
>>338125339
Except the Horus Heresy books show that Chaos isn't the biggest threat because if they won and took over the galaxy they'd burn themselves out leaving behind a much calmer galaxy for what ever is left over. If the Nids won there wouldn't be anything left in the galaxy save barren rocks and dust clouds.

Post proof,

Chaos is the constant crash against the bulwark of man
Nids are the coming doom from beyond the stars
Necrons are the rising death that makes sectors silent

They are all equal threats and if any are left unattended it would spell doom for all races in 40k
>>
>>338125339

Emperor has been sitting on a toilet for the majority of his life/death, and the Grey Knights are anti-Chaos, of course they're going to say Chaos is the biggest threat.

Meanwhile, 'Nids have the shadow of the warp, and Necrons because they're Necrons.
>>
>>338125471
Bullshit. The Cabal were full of shit, you moron.

Open the rulebook and read what will happen if the Emperor fails. Chaos would destroy all life, space, and time in the galaxy and there be nothing left but Chaos.

Chaos is tearing apart the walls of reality for ages and they are thin as ice in the age of ending, The only thing stopping the Chaos from instantly destroying the galaxy is the Emperor.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the Victory requirements for every other faction include "wounding" Archaon, the Chaos leader, so really Chaos' early-mid game is consolidating the tribes in the North and then late game fighting against whatever is left south of Kislev

And there is many more besides.

How the fuck do you guys have missed numerous rulebooks telling you that Chaos is the greatest threat to this galaxy? Selective reading much? For years Chaos in 40K was hyped up THE galaxy ending threat while the Necrons and Tyranids were just sideshows. But Tyranid and Necron fans are retards who cannot read the writing on the pages.

It's the same thing with Nagash and Skaven fans before the End Times. They just want to BTFO when the fluff advances.

According to the devs the perfomance in Attila was caused by excessive animations and stuff like that. They've downgraded the game to Rome 2 levels to make it playable, and you can see this in a lot of the footage shown. There are no 1vs1 fights or anything like that. It looks more similar to Medievel 2 than either R2 or Attila to tell the truth.

You are a moron. You keep saying moronic things.

1-The Eye of Terror is a warpstorm, it's not the warp itself. Within the Eye life, space, time coexist with the warp energies albeit in an unstable state. What Chaos is going to do is erase space and time in the galaxy and life along with it.

2-You goalpost shifting moron. The whole thing is about which faction is the greatest threat to the galqaxy

3-Chaos invades is multiversal while the Tyranids are not. Chaos invades other dimensions and realities all the time.

3-Chaos will turn the galaxy into the Eye of Terror

Called you on on not understanding how the Warp works and how the Eye works and explained to how they work.
