>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!

>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)

>GROUP ATTACK
Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

Compare Warhammer with Shogun or Napoleon

Napoleon: reskins
Shogun: recolors
Warhammer: new 3D models, new animations

And unlike R2, Warhammer units don't look like shit.

They even upgraded to a 64bit engine, something forums like twc have been crying about for years

So, judging by the far increased development resources necessary to create all those diverse non-human models and animations, and the major engine overhaul needed to transition from 32bit to 64bit, which will benefit future TW games, I'd say it is acceptable for them to amortize the cost over 3 full-priced games in a trilogy, if people are willing to pay of course.

But if they start splitting historical games into trilogies, that's when it's time to get mad.

>>
>>145286449
The problem is there are only a few units with good voice acting and all the rest are awful. The worst is the voice of the advisor from Attila. He sucked in that game and he sucks even more in this game, and the new one is fucking awful too. Why couldn't we have a gobbo advisor or an orc advisor for the greenskins, a super deep voiced long beard for the dwarves, a gloriously mustached lord as an advisor for Franz, a seductive vampire for vampire counts, and Sindri for chaos, and if you fight the empire he'll mention something about the fools cower in metal boxes with a different tone of voice.

how are they even going to do lizardmen? aren't they on the other continent? would you have to cross the ocean to fight them? same for skaven, aren't they where the american natives were?

it'd be a pretty boring starting position for them if there's only the undead,lizardmen, and skaven on one big continent and you have to cross the ocean to get to the other one.

or would they do it like in medieval 2 where it's a separate campaign that's set in the other continent. even then, would all the factions be included?

Can someone give me some tips?

Basically, three things. First of all, where should my archers be in fights, and what should they be aiming at? I had been using them en masse to break one unit in melee at a time, but this has mixed success. I always try and keep them above (geographically) the enemy, but sometimes they release a hail of death that breaks the enemies morale in half, and sometimes they just pitter/patter fire out against the same kind of enemy and do nothing.

Secondly, and more importantly, how the fuck do I keep pace with the AI when I'm using more than 20 units? I don't want to pause, because it feels like cheating, but for all the pre-battle setup I do to make it as low effort as possible (Grouping etc etc) when I suddenly get 10+ reinforcements, I don't have time to group them up and sort out their formations. Once the battle is joined, it's even worse. I get enemy outflanking me, simply because I can't keep track of the battle and micro anywhere near as fast.

Third and finally, what should I be doing with Lord? So far I've been trying to use him to kill the enemy Lord if there is one, but should I instead use him to just attack the enemy and try and break them faster, while feeding the enemy commander a fodder unit.

Thanks in advance. I've played Total War before, but I'm trying to break a lot of bad habits (pausing all the time and reloading) and the difficulty spike from that is pretty huge.
>>
>>145288321
Flame cannons are even worse than Drakes though. Their damage is too low, they themselves are too slow and their range is shit. They also can't fire over your troops.
>>
>>145288234
Lizardmen at least get to teleport and can just fly their city-temples, otherwise, shit will get boring fast

And the Skaven are everywhere, there's just different clans around the world
>>
Are there any modifications (or "mods", as I like to call them) which encourage the Artificial Intelligence routines (or "AI rooties" as I like to call them) to develop better stack compositions (or "stakomps" as I like to call them)? They seem awfully keen on going hard on the special weapons, missile troops, archer cav... with very few melee units.

they don't die at all even rushing head first into dorfs because you can either nuke them with your hellcannons that never miss or just hit them with cav/more chosen since the AI can never match your infantry line due to using way too many range units. or if you want to be a cheesy faggot you can just have archaon or someone bait their fire since all of the chaos legendary lords are completely unkillable.

What's your usual strategy as the Empire for dealing with the Elector Counts?

I fucked up my first campaign by fully allying Stirland, who in 5 turns brought me to war with every other Count except for two.

Now I'm moving on to Dwarfs for my first serious campaign, because I don't want to redo all that shit with the Empire right now. But I do want to play them again.

>where should my archers be in fights, and what should they be aiming at?
Behind your troops, archers can fire over your frontline, handguns not

with archers/crossbows, you should aim at whatever has the least armor, handgunners will shit on armored dudes much easily, but you have to place them carefully (checker pattern seems to work tho)

If possible, getting your ranged units to shoot on the flanks/back of an enemy unit is an easy way to break morale

>how the fuck do I keep pace with the AI when I'm using more than 20 units?
____git gud____, or at least, get used to it, most battles end up in a moshpit anyways, group your units before the battle, during the deployment (and lock the formation!)

also, use guard and skirmish mode when needed, cavalry on flanks and infantry on the middle, monsters can work in both places

>what should I be doing with Lord?
As long as your lord is better, try to kill the enemy Lord before he shits all over your infantry, killing the enemy lord is a huge morale hit, chances are you'll be killing enemy infantry too because of splash damage so you don't miss on the extra damage

of course, just use the lord in normal combat if you got a better way to deal with enemy lords/heroes (Accusation/Spirit leech)

>Men at arms are trained soldiers
Hahaha

Men-At-Arms are in best case peasants who has trained against strawmen. More often than not though they are peasants called to their lord where they are given equipment. A Bretonnian peasant is not allowed to own weapons which could harm their lord, and therefore the lord gives them the weapons in time of need. Same goes with armor.

Bretonnia has very few freemen, unlike the Empire. Men-At-Arms is very majorily made up of peasants, even though they are not called "Peasant Men-At-Arms".

No they aren't allowed to own anything, as the king owns everything, and the lords lend it from the king and the peasants lend it from their lords.

They have to lend the armor, for a fee. They aren't allowed to own it, or their weapons, as then they could rebel. That's why they often use pitchforks and such, because maybe they could only afford the debt of the armor.

"Lend" might be a bad word for the armor, but I guess they'd have to pay for all the dents and scratches caused to it. But you bet they'll have to return it for the lords safe keeping.

Peasants are allowed to own bows though, if they are privliged with hunting in their lords domain. The bows are extremly valuable and often inherited (don't know how they aquire arrows though, maybe lending).

The peasants are living on a level where their cattle is living in their houses, like maybe 1200 (I'm not very good at history) feudal England. An Empire peasant is extremly wealthy compared to a Bretonnian peasant.

Bretonnia is kind of like North Korea, isolationist, retarded and starving

Well, before serving as Men-At-Arms they are peasants, and after serving they are yet again peasants, with no claim to owning their equpment.

I added a few variants to the horses,so give me some opinions, keep oldschool stock horses or upgrade to chargers
