How do you make a gobbo-only campaign ? Can you change your LL to a gob with a mod ?
*insults your favourite total war game*
I bet you can't even talk to girls haha.
>>144824906
What's the in-world reason for norscans being like twice the size of normal humans? Are they some kind of sub-race? Does Chaos energies being around you your whole like make you huge?
>>144825056

the fanatics do okay in combat but the rest is pretty trash
>all of these stupid quotes about Bretonnian knights
Bretonnians were clearly supposed to be in the game on release but because CA fucked up their planning they have to release them as a freeLC
Amusingly that just makes them look better in the eyes of the average person
>>144825624
*adjusts trilby* but we're no "average person"...
In all seriousness though, I'm reasonably upset that they released payed DLC along with the game on release.

Does anyone have any experience with using the faction unlocker mod to play as minor factions in a coop campaign? Does it work okay? Is it going to mess with my current singleplayer campaign saves any?
>>144826635
It works perfectly fine in coop, done it quite a bit. I've never had it cause a problem with my singleplayer but to be safe uncheck it on the mod manager when loading a campaign that doesn't use it.

Does anyone know how the Kraka Drak mod plays? How buggy is it? Also how hard is it fending off Surtha Ek and Felman Ingersson from turn 1?
Let's try this again: What's wrong with my deployment here?
>>144829340
unless my eyes deceive me and that's actually a sharp slope then those cannons can't fire
>>144829340
Your infantry are too bunched up, spread them out a bit or you'll get the shit flanked out of you. Move your cannons back and make sure your cavalry stop anyone from going around to take them out. Where they are now, they'll have a hard time firing without shooting a cannon straight up some poor crossbowman's asshole.
>>144829340
I see nothing really wrong, but I'd move the swords in the middle up next to each other where the front one is. I get what you're trying to do to keep it clear for the gunners, but everything will end up blobbing infront of them anyway.
>>144825264
9/10
>>144829340
Make a line with infantry
Put gunners and crossbows to sides
Put cannons forward
Charge when enemy gets close to cannons or put infantry on both sides in advance
Flank blob with ranged and cavalry
Protect ranged with halberds
>>144829340
I'd move the gunners a bit further back so that they don't accidentally get engaged as enemy units start to overlap around your infantry.
Dwarfs are much better at the pike and shot style of hand gun deployment due to their infantry being much much tougher and with higher moral less prone to flanking issues. but empire can do it too, but they definitely need support.

God damn Ungrim's voice actor is fucking garbage. In fact, the majority of them are terrible and don't fit their roles. I wonder how hard it would be to replace the voice overs with someone else saying the exact same thing.

>>144831243
Agreed, at least from what I heard from Azhag. Sounded like some fat geezer they got off the local pub. An orc voice should not remind you of a ummie.
God fucking damnit, I can't stop saying it.
Is there any way to get rid of a specific voice line? I don't want to mute the game because I love the sound track. I'm playing VC and every time I hear "Darkness comes" I ALWAYS say "and so do i" under my breath. I can't help it, and I'm worried someones going to hear me whispering "and so do i" over and over again, and I can't very well explain it to them. I swear every character, regardless of necromancer or vampire lord says "Darkness comes" at least twice a turn, and it's really putting me on edge.
>>144832530
Darkness comes...
>>144832596
I'm being serious. I can't seem to find the sound files they use for voice lines, so I was hoping someone could help me get rid of that specific line. It wouldn't feel right if everybody was mute, I just want that line gone.

Kholek or Archaeon for chaos vh playthrough?
Sorry for being dumb but can someone explain magic to me?
About the spell on the left, what does it do exactly? What are power reserves? When is the best time to use this spell?
And about the UI on the right. The 30 there is basically the mana of my entire army right? What about that little curving bar there, what is that?
Also, is it just me or are the only useful spells the ones that buff/debuff? Damage and vortex spells feel so weak.
>>144833776
Sigvald is what I did my legendary with, so use Sigvald.
>>144833804
Also, I have a character that has multiple spells that do that. Do the effects stack?
>>144833804
ur gonna go to warhammer and do spells and shit
an yer gonna be fuckin pleased about it
>>144833804
On the left are character abilities, not spells. On the right are spells.
There is a certain amount of mana that you can hold at one time, and you got mana reserves, which returns mana back to you slowly over a few seconds or minutes. Damage spells against a group of units on larger battle sizes are shit. Damage spells against single targets are okay. If you're playing Mannfred or a Vampire hero, you'll learn to love the starting Lore of Death spell.
>>144833776
Archaon is the only appropriate leading lord, but Kholek can be forgiven because he can get 80% ward and that's just bonkers.
>>144833804
curvy bar is reserves
30 is the amount of magic you have to use
if you hover over it it shows how much magic you have/the rate you take it out of reserves. Reserves is the total amount you have to use
Magic is really weak atm, besides some single target spells and buffs
>>144831729
You've got norscans that sound like posh english, orks that sound like drunks and who suffer from the same thing as the dwarfs, the voice actor's voices aren't deep enough, an ork's voice is supposed to be deafening and booming and a dwarfs is supposed to sound deep and rumbling like the mines they work in, you've got people half assing the empire troops, the same god damn voice actor for each faction because CA was too lazy and cheap to get a different VA for each one. A lot of them have a bad habit of mumbling and slurring words together and its not because the character is like that, its because they're having a hard time trying to get the voice right. At least the brittonians sound okay, its obviously getting a little overblown and forced but at least they put effort in, same with the voice actor for franz and some of the voice actors for the vampires. However the female voice actor for them sucks ass and just sounds like she's some random person off the street reading the lines. I think the biggest culprit is that they aren't really getting into and enjoying their rolls.
Anyone willing to walk me trough the early campaign as orcs? I've tried several times at hard, but i still dont have any idea what im supposed to be doing.
Campaign map related things:
>Should i rush the dwarves? They seem to hit their t2 powerspike much faster than me.
>Should I have something like an army of gobbos to just run around rading and sacking, or have it support the main army?
>What I should occupy? Only the starting province? The mountains where you start?
>How to handle the economy? Run your shit close to red line to keep your army as big as it can early and support it by loot you get?
Then Battles:
>What is good for taking down dwarves? Loads of light cav? Are the chariots good?
> How i should actually do the battles? Distract with light cav so i dont get crossbowed to death? Try to use the grimgors black orcs to cut their line in two?
I've played trough Empire on hard, if it tells anything. Which funnily enough wasnt this confusing, seemed to have much more natural expansion directions. And ive played other TW's, but mostly as heavy infantry factions, so this is pretty new to me.
When do I get Mannfred's last quest battle?
>>144834192
When I beat them on Hard I fought the Orcs until I got a WAAAGH and then I attacked the dwarves with it.
If you're going to attack them inside a city try and make sure it's just the garrison you're fighting. The Boar Boy that Grimgor gets helps a lot.
>stunties coming to heel
>>144834192
Bully other orcs first, try and diplomacy your way out of early dwarf wars.
Raid border fags for money. Outmuscle or confederate the other tribes, then pick off Azul with big armies.
>>144833804
The left are skills or magic items, not spells. Just hover over them and you'll see descriptions of what these skills or items do. On the left the buttons are your spells. The 30 is how much magic you currently have to use. The bar is your power reserves (default 60, depends on winds of magic). This is what is used to fill up the active number (30), and also determines the speed it fills. If you blow all your spells at once, you will have very low power reserves and regenerate magic at a low rate, so the idea is to keep yourself topped off and use spells sparingly unless you've got some good items (Wand of Jet for example).
The reason the only spells that are worthwhile are buffs/debuffs is because the damage is bugged for all spells, and the hit detection on "bombardment" type spells. The higher the Unit Size in your options, the less damage they'll do instead of scaling properly. This is why Searing Doom (Lore of Metal) will kill maybe 4 guys if you're lucky over 15 minutes of pitched battle.
Oh and if you double click a spell before casting it, it will be "overcharged" and have additional or better effects, but have a 50% chance of doing shitloads of damage to your wizard. They also will cost more magic, making overcharging pretty much worthless with how bad magic already is.
God I hope they give magic a serious overhaul if not at least some fucking band-aid fixes. Literally the only reason to play Kemmler or Gelt is if you want to make things arbitrarily more difficult for yourself. Thanks, Warhammer.
>>144834429
>race traitors
THATS GOIN IN THE BOOK
>>144834192
Don't rush the Dwarfs, Thorgrim will fuck you up.
Grab your province and go south.
You should be able to go for a peace pact with the bloody spears once you grab the one they have.
Try to confederate later on and then start your crusade against the stunties.
Money is going to be tight.
Sack, raid or build shinies.
Later on you'll get a couple gold mines from the Dwarfs which will ease your pain.
For taking down dwarfs, bring two armies. They're the only faction that doesn't seem to instantly replenish their stacks. So do damage to them and they'll be hurting.
For a starting comp, 4 arrer boyz a couple rock lobbas, and infantry to fill in, use gobbos if you're strapped for cash.
Spiders and wolves can be useful to harass ranged infantry and arty.
>>144834192
be a horde, not a nation. Black Crag is defensible so hold that and maybe the province, don't worry about other settlements, they're all just sack materal. FIND armies, and BEAT THE SHIT out of them. Do not play like you're a nation looking to expand and invest in territory, there will be time for that later. Play like a warboss looking for the FIGHT, seek out armies aggressively and KILL THEM.
>>144834192
I have done greenskins on legendary. Heed my words, if you dare.
>Should i rush the dwarves? They seem to hit their t2 powerspike much faster than me.
I said "fuck the dwarves" and went south, taking out Karak Azul after dealing with the tooth-dudes.
>Should I have something like an army of gobbos to just run around rading and sacking, or have it support the main army?
I had shit tons of armies, and I can't 100% tell you what I did do early game, I really didn't use many gobbos, other than night goblins later on. Let alone a gobbo raiding crew.
>What I should occupy? Only the starting province? The mountains where you start?
Like I said, run south, I got lucky and the top knotz were complete bros to me, starting the alliance with me, rather than the typical other-way-around. So teaming up on the tooth-dudes and Karak Azul with 2 allies made it manageable.
>How to handle the economy? Run your shit close to red line to keep your army as big as it can early and support it by loot you get?
I like to run a strong economy, so I really only had recruitment buildings in my main city, which I'll touch on in a bit. Big boss tents are incredibly crucial, especially on higher diificulties, if you want to maintain your provinces without rebellions every two turns. They also reduce corruption, so having a ton of them is handy as fuck. Other than that, get walls on most settlements, and if you feel like they're not in danger, feel free to tear them down, and build more economy, if possible.
My capital actually had constant rebellions all game, since I was a greedy fuck. Building only one of each military building is actually viable with global recruitment due to shaman huts giving you more global recruitment slots.
>What is good for taking down dwarves? Loads of light cav? Are the chariots good?
As long as you keep the "orc cav sucks" meme in your mind, while still building a couple cav units you'll do pretty well. Too long cont.
>>144834019
>>144834135
>>144834505
Thanks a ton.
Does this mean if I have a spell that "Greatly increases power reserves" I should spam it whenever the curvy bar isn't full?
>>144834192
>>144834757
part 2.
>What is good for taking down dwarves? Loads of light cav? Are the chariots good?
Goblin wolf riders are incredibly cheap, and for good reason. On the same note, they're incredibly fast, and can throw off the dwarves aim if you're willing to throw your cav away.
Abuse Grimgor. If you find a seed of rebirth and/or a health potion, equip Grimgor with it.
I never built a chariot or a giant in my run. Tons of people love the giant, so feel free to build it, but keep in mind, it's not necessary.
Regarding dwarves and the south, though, I only kept my capital city, and expanded south disregarding getting complete "provinces". The dwarves took Iron Rock and I essentially let them, and ignored them, furthering my progress south instead. Early game, dwarves can be tough for an orc to take down. Take a look at your weapon strengths for good armour piercing options. Base orc arrer boys are actually the best archers you can get against dwarves, since night goblins have poor armour piercing, and savage boys have low accuracy.
>>144834908
ya because you dont gain more reserves in battle, once that's empty no more spells
>>144835063
Alrighty many thanks.
>>144835063
Manfred's sword actually lets you replenish the total power reserve when he's in melee.
Which would be extremely useful if melee lasted longer than a minute.
>>144835151
well i just meant you dont naturally, there's gonna be abilities and whatnot that change that

Germanic Priestesses from Attila are infinitely better looking, Vampire waifs look like they're a fucking thousand years old and entering the dry stage of corpsemode, which is technically good as far as lore goes but doesn't make them pretty.
Koreans sure have some funky helmets
Do we have any news on FotE? I've seen meloncat around working on WH but I'm really quite more concerned with a finished-up FotE, especially with the startpos fixed up so we don't have to disband and re-recruit entire armies at the start and don't have half-strength garrisons.
Plus having Norse and Slav factions have only their default units feels pretty weird, not least because their unit cards look all different.

Some ccookiecutter guides told me to rush dwarves. But sue for peace with dwarves and go fuck up other orcs? Allright. I guess its allright to run red income if you have the money to support it and sack the shit out of everything? This is so different compared to my usual style, which is pretty great actually.
But generally aim south first, and after that just roll with whatever is going on and focus on beating the other orc factions down, so they give you money for peace and later on force them to join you?
Thanks a lot guys!
>>144836112
In my game Top Knotz took over the entirety of the west, save for the top provinces under the border princes, while Karak Azul spread fast
Basically I confederated all the Orcs in the mountains and in the eastern badlands. I would fight dwarves, gain ground, sue for peace, then turn around and fuck up Karak Azul, and repeat until I took both out
Anyone else really want to play Medieval 2 after playing as the Empire?
Everytime I slam my Reiksguard into the back of the enemy infantry it makes me want to play M2.
>>144836112
I find that you often won't have red income as Greenskins unless you turn off taxes to help manage public order because of the mine in Black Crag.
That being said, yeah your income being slightly in the red isn't a big deal when you can get the lesser orc tribes to pay you 300-600 gold each turn, and you sack bigger settlements for an upwards of 7-8k.

Thanks again. Loving the general information and guidelines. Most guides and stuff on twc seem to be either faggots whining about weak units and economy as orcs instead of actually giving any advice, or timetables for every turn to something like 20 turns, which is pretty nofun.
Im still wondering though about occupying. Should i occupy something like one or two per province to have some shelter when needed and places to replace losses and generate shekels? Or just wing it and do stuff when it feels good?

Yeah, it's dissapointing. Maybe they're better if you rush them and fight weaker enemies but when I used trolls they felt like garbage.
They're giant pussies and they run if they get tickled by Zombies.

Got my Everchosen and Emperor achievment, Very Hard still isn't fun and feels more like work than a game.
Back to Normal or Hard campaign to have actual fun.
Also only capturing Western and Eastern Sylvania and then waging an eternal war against the Empire without capturing or razing anything is the best thing ever.
Fighting only for the sake of fighting!

The biggest problem with total war is that unless you let the AI cheat in and out of battles you'll never get to know the struggle of keeping your empire alive. It's just a slow guaranteed victory that feels so empty in the end. I want to fear the end times.

Dwarves offered me NAP and after that I spent 20 or so turn raiding their best provinces. Each army got a Waaagh and reduced Dwarves from 15 cities to 5 in a couple of turns.

7 points for lightning strike
army buffs is 8
so you get about 15 point for melee and mounts
I just fucked up my Manfred leveling so I didn't have enough for melee and campaign skills in my first playthrough.
haven't used it since
Ork campaign finished and Grimgor was lvl 31 after I finished stomping the Empire

The Huns are actually fucking hard to deal with without corner camping as certain factions even on normal or hard, if you have no cav and/or shitty foot archers you're basically fucked against them.
Strangely, the Romans eat them alive due to testudo and ERE's armored archers / WRE's God's Own Crossbow.

About to set off on a nice chummy Chaos campaign - any mods I should pack in before I set off?
How's the "slower battles" mod? Any good?
>>144840625
I have only ever had one siege defensive and it was just some rebels smashing their heads against a city I just took so the gates were smashed in and walls were broken.

One thing about the warhammer universe that strikes me as unrealistic is.. why havent people all decided to migrate to Bretonnia from the horrible areas of the empire that keep getting raided by Norscan SUEPRHUMANS

I don't suppose there's a way to turn some empire provinces into your vassals, yet?
They literally hold the fort till they die and only offer around 900 gold for a 'peace treaty'.
>>144841370
True
I guess what really killed it in the end was finances and a billion germans, since the Germans obliterate the Romans in field battles

The AI doesn't use its economy to support its agents.
That 200-300 upkeep cost you incur for every agent you pick up? Yeah, the AI gets a separate budget for that.
Those 8-12 agents coming out of that one region province. Yep.
I came up against a Dwarf hero called Something The Durable. His name weren't Something, but I can't remember it. He had a bunch of entry-tier units so I sicced my local stack of gobs and orc boys on him. Massacred his army in half a minute, just him left. 3 goblin spearboiz, 2 orc boys, 1 witch hero, 1 catapult hanging back. All a little battle worn but not too bad. None of them could even put a dent in him. He ended up beating the shit out of all of them and winning the battle. Horrible stuff.
>>144841792
>How much cheating income does the AI get this is bullshit
They don't get cheating income, they simply don't pay upkeep as far as I understand and the AI code allots them a certain amount of recruitment. This is the reason why the AI will be developing its towns, spamming agents as soon as it builds the first building that lets them do it, and start recruiting full stacks from the word go.
Have you never fought one-province factions throwing around four stacks of endgame units before?
>>144841990
Er... embarassing. I picked the wrong screenshot.
Pretend all those units are marauders and dogs.
>>144842019
Its doubly worse for the Norscans, their buildings produce shitloads of cash so they can end up being more dangerous than Chaos

Just to clarify, we norwegians don't speak like that. His accent is horrible, although I approve the attempt on none american accent. His mmms and tisks are an attempt to sound clever and thoughtful.
I myself speak english with american accent (me mum is americano) and i feel bad for doing so. But talking brit would be faking it, and its to damn hard.
Back to the point though, please don't associate norwegians with arch. Just think of him as an outcast of society.
Okay I give up on this. I cannot win as Dwarfs on Very Hard or Legendary. This shit seems to be impossible.
The Orcs can shit out 6-7 stacks by turn 10 that just run around fucking every settlement you capture and if you don't play aggressively then Grimgor shows up at turn 15-20 with at least 3 stacks following him.

Why do the Bloody Spears and Greenskins confederate on turn fucking seven in every dwarf playthrough? After taking silver road pretty much a turn later 3 stacks show and destroy you.
