Just checked the catalog and couldn't find a thread on this game.
What's the general concensus on total war warhammer? is it any good or should I not bother with it since i'm wondering if I should buy it tomorrow when I get paid.
>>339640461
it's fun enough
it's much harder than other TW games, has some balance issues that need ironing out
>>339640946
Balancing issues how? i'm sure they'll get patched so that doesn't really bother me too much
Post your current game status guys
>>339641052
mostly campaign stuff
I felt they could've handled difficulty settings better too, since they just give bonuses to the AI
otherwise it's pretty solid
>>339641371
Hmm think I might bite the bullet and buy it then, is getting the chaos dlc worth it?
>>339641680
It's not for everyone.
You don't have settlements so the playstyle is very different.
Just try the other factions and if you want more you can buy it later.
>>339641293
Greenskins.
Krumped everyone but Bretonnia, Bastalia and Vampire Counts.
Crooked moon and Bloody hands are still active too, but I'm planning the night of long daggers for them right now.
Once that happens, all I need to do is colonise those two settlements in the ass end of nowhere and I'm done.
But I'd rather kick the shit out of everyone first.
>>339641680
Buy it later if you like the base game, anon.

Why does this keep happening?
>>339641293
70 turn dwarf. Almost have the whole Badlands to myself and my confederation.
Only Top Knotz left in the very bottom.
>>339641991
>>339642017
So is it kind of like hordes in Atilla? if so I never really tried those out since that playstyle isn't really my kind of thing, I like having my own land, not just wandering around without my own territory
>>339642512
Only Chaos plays as a horde
>>339642975
That's who I was referring since I was asking if I should bother getting the Chaos dlc, but thanks for clearing that up, I think i'll get the base game tomorrow then
>>339643183
If only you bought the game yesterday, you would have got chaos for free...
>>339643336
Even though I personally got it early, I don't blame the guy.
Given CA's history, it's perfectly reasonable to leave a bit of time to ensure it's not a bugged piece of crap.
I dont much like grand stratagy or any of the total war games, but I love warhammer.
Would it be worth buying?
>>339643336
>>339643709
I can always go to a keysite anyway, I never had a problem with those
>>339643912
Depends on your level of dislike towards gsgs and TW games, I guess. The game is pretty faithful to the WHFB lore, but if you don't like the TW format of battles, you won't enjoy the game.
>>339643912
The focus is very much on the war bit and the management takes a back seat.
how the fuck do I upgrade units lads?
>>339645270
If you mean their experience they have to gain that through combat.
You can't upgrade armor or weapons.
>>339645270
Units themselves can't be upgraded, only leveled up. The only unit-related upgrades are done through Lord Skills and Tech.
>that lovely feel when KF descends and tears apart isolated units with Deathclaw
This game is a beaut.
>>339645751
>>339645707
Alright, I need to capture an Orc fortress on turn 40 or so of dwarf campaign, Black crag I think. Their garrison has the same number of units as any of my armies but has an auto resolve of more 70% against me.
Tried doing it manually and they just decimate me with archers before I can even get near, what is happening and how am I supposed to take it?
>>339646094
You make a second army and have them come in as reinforcements. Not a difficult concept to grasp, really.
>>339646094
Build another stack and go in together.
>>339641293
Empire turn 76
At war with one neighbor as Chaos Warriors are slowly creeping into my territory.
I would say fighting dwarves with greenskins is the least fun i had in a while
>>339646024
This desu. I play empire solely for Franz and Deathclaw. They're so fucking badass.
>>339646427
Dwarven armor is just insane. Orcs can't deal with them at all. No cavalry isn't a disadvantage when you just tank shit
>>339646427
why?
>>339646268
>>339646283
I've only had the game a day and the tutorial didn't explain reinforcements, just had the one mission where gyrocopters were controlled by AI.
I can't attack the fort with multiple armies in one turn, they overworld hero just stands next to it like an idiot, and if I end turn the battle becomes a 1v1 I either play out or retreat from, can't select any other armies or anything to that effect.
>>339646503
because my units are dogshit at the start apparently which is the case with orcs i know
>>339641052
The Empire is overpowered as fuck and all of the Dwarfs interesting units are useless.
Pros:
AI better than Attila (not saying much)
Magic is done fun
Cons:
Underground levels are unfinished, with no lighting/shadows rendered, and low-poly, low-res structures, and ugly blue-green everywhere
Some of the graphics, effects and animations are actually worse than Attila
Shallow unplayable civs, far fewer units than in Call of Warhammer mod for MTW2
>>339641293
Dwarf turn like 180
Just building stuff up. Chaos sometimes
>>339647075
dont forget the enemy literally routing through your walls and into your city
the underway is so borked
>>339646686
Just stand one stack next to the other. They'll reinforce the other unless an attacking stack's general has the lightning attack skill.
>>339642021
I think the chaos troop ratings are glitched. Their units are far better quality than empire's. Archaen's doom stack had barely any rating against my shit army but they destroyed me easy.
>>339641293
Chaos Legendary
Turn 168.
Empire just wiped out.
Going for Dwarves next.
>>339646094
Besiege it and wait for them to come to you, then build another stack as reinforcements.
Dorfs rek shit on the defensive
I tried both empire and greenskin how do I keep the cities happy my obedience is like -50 in all cities
>>339648203
Build boss tents everywhere
>>339640461
I'm new to the lore, so I can't really speak as to whether or not it's a good representation of a Warhammer game. I can say that it's a vast improvement over Rome 2, though I guess that's not hard. The factions all play extremely differently and feel unique. Magic is implemented pretty well. I was concerned that flying units would be extremely broken or buggy but so far it feels like they've been integrated really well.
>>339641293
Vampires turn 139 on hard.
Control all of the empire from Talabecland down.
Mousillon is my vassal and controls northern Bretonia.
Dwarves and greenskins have been pushed out of the mountains to the east and the ones ringing the empire's territory.
Chaos is invading the northern part of the empire and I'm just letting them do it. Have a non-aggression pact with them and they love me for kicking the empire's shit in, so not too concerned about a betrayal.
Preparing to invade the border princes and southern kingdoms now.
>>339646441
The rockets are nice too.

>>339648203
Boss tents and unifying the region.
In particularly unruly areas, it might be best to deliberately piss them off so you can immediately curb stomp the rebellion that forms, which gives a massive public order bonus.

What kind of PC do I need to run this well?
>>339651097
This does the job. Grafics almost on ultra, ultra unit sizes, no problems.
Processor is at 4.4GHz though.
>>339651352
LAH MAY OH
>>339641293
Glorious Dawi campaign on hard turn 43
Cleared out almost all the greenskins in the badlands and the northern Worlds edge mountains by teaming up with Barak Varr before they could get consumed, all thats left are some top knots in the bottom corner of the map and the more concerning threat of Grimgor owning everything south of his starting position with 3 full stacks and a Waag. The bigger concern is all the territories that I took in the last 10 turns rising up in simultaneous rebellion forcing my 4 stacks to sit in cities or move to retake from rebels while my grudge meter continues to rise from a double grudge against Grimgor who is in the bottom corner of the map with a Waagh and not leaving.
>Tfw giving Kholek some Doom Diver related head disorder and promptly routing his army with Savage boar big 'uns
Thank you, based suicidal goblin
>>339650760
>Having Rebels as orcs
Once i cleared out the south of the map and got my protected provinces every city had a boss tent and whatever the gold generator is called and they all sat at a safe -90
>>339651459
Damn dude.
Heres mine.
Ultra everything and it's so smooth.
>>339640461
Feels weird to say but the game needs some more dlc.
Right now the grand campaign feels a bit railroaded and chaos feels pretty underwhelming as a threat after your first game.
It's the best performing and polished total war to date and the game play is fun and streamlined
The only bad things I have to say is about CA's laziness this time. Seriously, there's no reload animation for handgunners or cannons. It's fucking bullshit
Mod to put level 5 heroes in Garrisons above basic level and put Lord level character in garrisons of lvl 3+ and improved defenses when?
I have the facilities to train shamans and wizards they should be manning the defenses when the hordes of chaos are banging at the gates
I wasn't having so much fun with the Empire then I said fuck it and started the orc campaign and it's fun as shit
Would anyone be so kind as to link me to some attacking techniques guides?
It's a bit shallow in content, but out-of-box mod support helps a lot. They have plans for free DLC as well, which should help it feel more complete.
>>339641293
Vampire Counts. Roughly turn 90 or so.
I've been waging a crusade in the north trying to shut down chaos before they could get started. I've managed to sign military alliances with all the major factions except orks and Bretonnia. I recently wiped out half of Kislev just to set up a forward recruitment center in the north just so I can keep crusading.
