>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

First for BFME2 nostalgia
Dorf waifu when?
>>147085080
First for Radious is shit.
>2 gigapixels for 1 units and blood effects

So are the dorf lategame units finally useful?
>>147085307
>Radious balanced the game for them
>still better balanced than the new patch
>everyone circle jerking over Blood Knights
>Radious had them a week into release
B-But it's popular so it's b-bad!
>>147085245
I had the opportunity to get this cheap as a kid and was a retard and got a shit game instead, now it's expensive as fuck, have tge first one but it doesn't want to work on my new comp and is in rough shape now.
>tfw Vlad Von Carstien LL not any time soon
>tfw stuck with a Autistc cancer patient.
Flying jelly update was underwhelming but whatever, give me beastmen
>>147085245
Ah, guardians, officially the most based unit in the entire game.
>>147085562
Radious pls, no one hates your mod because its popular, they hate it because BLACK ARRER BOYZ
>>147085562
>Radious balanced the game for them
>still better balanced than the new patch
Kek no, still trying troll, butthurt virgin detected.
I have a dwarf campaign that's bugged with grudges against destroyed factions still ongoing
Have they patched it yet? I wanna finish it
>>147085562
>Radious had them a week into release
He borrowed them from somebody else and they were just vampire lords with lances, not blood knights.
>>147085802
Where's the problem with Black Orcs having archers, anon?
>>147085839
That's a lot of ad hominem, Anon.
>>147085802
It's hated because its shit
Makes a easy game easier and makes the factions all the same with different skins. No wonder shitters gobble it up.
>>147086029
>Where's the problem with Black Orcs having archers, anon?
Anon, now Its just obvious you are just baiting me.

Been a while since I've seen that one
just started downloading some 2gb patch
what does it do
any news on the horsefuckers yet?
This is one of the new events CA added, it's got a unique blood border around it.
Pretty crazy.
>>147085309

Wasn't Rohirrim basically the "demi's" of that game?
>playing FotS for the first time ever
WHICH CLAN FIRST AND WHY
>>147086689
makes the game way too easy with it's economic changes and some of the unit addons are just fucking bizarre.
Any interesting mods yet? I'm looking for something that fills the void of the Southlands that makes Dwarf and Greenskin playthroughs so boring.
>>147086689
>you will never be a butthurt virgin like this

>>147086643
Oh, it is. We're both idiots for not checking.

>>147086853
Not really, theirs a vampire one that's decent I think, rest are shit, especially radious cancer
>>147086698
Yes
>Top level melee cavalry that can swap to bows mid-battle
Rohirrim were not the only cavalry unit that could do that, but quite surely the best one.I still prefer spider riders and their poison attacks
BTW, has any other strategy game ever had a similar system of creating wildfires? I remember it working wonders in camping and not once in skirmish, but it was fun nonetheless.

Why do you keep projecting, Anon?
>>147086810
I can understand that, I guess. I think it makes the game more varied and adds more replayability andfun
>>147087043
HORSEFUCKERS DLC for Warhammer when?
>>147087474
One of the highest rated negative reviews for this new DLC is that there aren't any blood effects that go on the ground. What gives?
>>147087869
It also adds stupid lore-breaking bullshit like Black Orc Arrer Boys.
>>147087043
>i bought a DLC that added blood and gore like it was exclusive
The hell is wrong with me.
>>147088337Gook?
>>147088337
Fuck that game was the shit.

One of these days I'll post a playthrough
Van Dyck was so fucking good in M1, he just didn't capture the grimdark in M2.

that did it , thanks senpai
It's fucking happening now boys.
Loaded up a ton of Marauder unit mods and not I'm ready to descent upon the puny southlanders.
If that pussy Archaon comes knocking I'm going to fuck him up too.
Besides Slayers what else is a meme unit?
>Vargheist
>>147086736

Tosa, they have a comfy start position and a nice bonus to naval bombardment.
>>147087869
>it makes the game more fun
It makes it the exact opposite of fun
Fun is being able to use what units you're given to achieve a victory, this means accounting for weaknesses such as being orcs and having shitty archers or dwarfs and having no cavalry
Does the patch stop the western dwarfs from declaring war on literally everyone?

didn't the leak say the beastmen would be out in October?
So is the Charlemagne dlc actually good? I've heard good things on here but its got shitloads of bad reviews
this was a close call, fug, but at least I memed these guys in one turn

You need to focus fire one enemy ship at a time.
If it's possible try to keep your own ships in front of the enemy's bow, where they don't have cannon.

Also if you're going to focus on a navy, rush the copper/iron upgrades quickly and build the larger ships.

>pretty sure they were being destroyed by islam anyways
not really, baghdad had a pretty scholarly sect of islam, don't remember their exact name, they believed that the best way to understand god is to understand his creation and all that, pretty supportive of philosophy, science and arts, which is why modern hardliners consider them more or less heretical

>>147092584
Nothing wrong with the "business practice". It's optional, entirely cosmetic and you can choose to buy it if you want it or not. It's a small enough fee that it's pretty much negligible.

They have very good infantry, the only problem is early game they lack anti armor which puts you at a heavy disadvantage against dwarves.
Rush to big UN's and/or spider riders and you can coast on them till you get your high tier units.
>>147094679
Last time I checked it had good ones, dunno maybe kebabs were butthurt you could remove them in it.
>>147094519
Yea, thats what saved the north western Russian cities as well, the paying tribute after hearing what happend to Kiev and Vladimir probably helped too.
Welcome to Vampire Town mr. Skellyman, this is your hovel, no rattling after 11.

Also anyone have screenshots of the new blood knights?

I love this picture
>>147094979
I looked further, apparently it had some game breaking bugs at some point, I guess its been fixed
>>147095040
Helped balance out all offensive magic to equally shit, which is at the very least a nice starting point to work from in the future.
Lots of buffs and fixes where they were needed, very few questionable changes.

So are half the people who live under VC rule necromancers? Like even the farmers and merchants and stuff? You see these corpses everywhere but they dont look like people who just randomly died, more like corpses some necromancer was using to help sell his wares.

>>147097628
They'll have guys there, you just can't see them.
>>147097873
Handgunners are useful though. Their damage output is insane if you know how to actually use em.
>>147098421
If you bother to micro them perfectly, yes.
Outriders can do the same thing with less micro, however. Their elevation lets them fire from behind ground troops.
Seriously guys I will move my ships to face the enemy on one side and then tell them to attack and they want to do a fucking 180
>>147098196
I'm trying out a mod that allows the Victor Charlies to recruit low-mid tier Empire units with crappy leadership as levies.

>>147097689
What game, senpai?
FoTS?
are there any mods that fix the spell damage and morale issues in warfam? balance is a + too
>>147097747
Human rape is actually only implied. There was some tiny lore tidbit about beastwomen that was never elaborated on. Tzeentch can fart on you and turn you into a beastman, and you could also be born beast-like to normal human parents.
But none of those things except human rape really support the huge beastman populations existing everywhere.
>>147098540
Yeah I agree they're good at just standing behind your battle lines and firing over the heads of their comrades but they just can't match handgunners in damage.
Handgunners doesn't require perfect micro, place them in columns between your high threat units in the battleline and it's easy to pull them out when melee starts, if the enemy even attacks there. Other then that just move em out on the flanks after the melee starts and start firing.
Shit, if you've got a hill behind you just stick em up there and they'll anihilate enemy regiments even during melee with your own troops.
>>147096175
>Is living in Slyvania really all that bad?
It depends on who your lord is. If you're unlucky you could get vampire-Mugabe while if you're lucky you could find yourself under some qt vampiress who at least somewhat cares for her people.
>>147098672
yeah, I've been tearing my hair out for about 2 hours trying to get it right. It just seems like my orders fall on deaf ears.
I try to get them to go forward in a line and then I want them to turn in one direction so they can line up their guns. I line them up and turn them, then tell them to attack and they want to turn in the complete opposite direction.
Also I see the button to fire all guns on one side. Do I have to keep clicking that over and over during the battle for each individual ship?
>>147098889
how does that support their prevalence in naggaroth?
>>147099179
>>147098672
Like, how do I make my ships move in unison if they are different? I keep having to have my smaller two ships (literally the first battle of the game) go from full to half to full to half while the bigger ship lumbers forward. They can't just all go the speed of the slowest boat for some fucking reason
>>147099179
Never give your ships attack orders, just make sure the enemy ships are in their firing arcs and let the magic happen. If you want to you could do a few manual broadsides yourself.
>>147099340
So just literally line my ships up so that the enemy ends up in the read and put on auto fire?
>>147099262
They've got harpies up there.
>>147098972
Their guns do the same damage. The only difference is that Outriders have 2/3rds of the guns. But in exchange you get light cav tier mobility, the ability to fire from behind the lines and the ability to fire while moving. What you lose in pure damage output you gain in time shooting and the ability to move them wherever you want, plus Vanguard deployment
>>147099465
Yes, pretty much this.
>>147099547
that makes sense. Everytime I told them to attack they had collective aneurysms
Just rewatched King Arthur and I'm feeling like it's time for a Legendary WRE campaign again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38gtusmNXgw
>>147099542
how's the cost differential?
Mannfred approves of the new DLC
>>147100078
Outriders cost 100 more
Damn, I had forgotten just how insanely good artillery is in FotS. Armstrongs will probably give me wet dreams. On another note: Didn't they give the insane morale buffs to units on legendary in S2/FotS? They rout pretty easy compared to what I'm used to in Attila and Warhammer.
>>147098889
I mean the map is obviously uncreative, and so are the factions (non-HRE)
But I mean "Kingdoms of Ind(ia)"?
Fucking "Cathay", an archaic name for China?
"NIPPON"?

oh fugg thats pretty cool
>Bridge map in FOTS

>>147099542
Actually, Outrider guns deal more damage than handgunner guns.

>tfw tristan was the coolest character
>he's given fuckall development
>he doesn't even go out in a worthy way
>his blade is fabricated from fantasy despite being one of the best looking blades out there
Wait what the fuck I won the naval battle and gained ships
If I get them to surrendder do I get their ships?! Fuck I continued the battle did I screw myself over by continuing to attack?
>>147099542
One third less damage and 100 gold extra upkeep is pretty significant. Handgunners also get reload speed upgrade which further increases the gap in effectiveness.
Handgunners also seem more accurate to me, although that might just be on the account of me setting them up with good fields of fire while my outriders are always all over the place.
They're both good units but they're for different roles.
I don't remember VC garrisons being half stacks of crypt ghouls
>>147100747
Handgunners are way more accurate though, they land a ton more shots per volley than outriders and I'm not sure those CA stat numbers are correct at all.
What's DX12 been like for everyone? I have an R9 390 and turning it on gives me ~5% worse performance...
>>147101251
CA changed count garrisons to try and improve their battle capability.
>>147087043
>the 5 new maps are multiplayer only
I don't understand

What was wrong with them before. I haven't made use of them as VC because I'm always on the offensive, but I seem to remember they gave me decent opposition in my Empire campaign.
Hey guys in FotS after I rout an enemy and win the battle, can I board the ship and capture it? Is there anyway of guaranteeing I capture the ship or what should I do? I'm trying to capture the copper one from the first battle in the campaign
>>147103005
Any ship that's surrendered should be captured (unless it's sinking) if I remember correctly. Getting a copper plated ship isn't that big of a deal though, they're just a bit faster. You need iron plating to get proper armor.
Do you guys think shogun 2 with all the dlc is worth getting for a guy that wants to get in the series? (never played a total war before)
>>147103005
I've never captured a ship in FotS, and I really don't think it's possible. Maybe if you board it.

Yes. vanilla Shogun is the best entry point in all of TW
>be at war with three different minor tribes on the alps
>they all separately ask for peace so not worried about their strength
>move a legion up north while the other one recovers from having taken a city
>two stacks and a city garrison from a single city faction show up and block my movement
The one time I moved without sending a spy first, serves me right, I feel like an idiot.

Shogun 2 is fucking amazing. It's amazing too because if you later want to play a more modern TW with guns Fall of the Samurai (which isn't DLC but an entire game all on its own) basically continues the story.
Absolutely 100% get either of them.
Is it me, or is blood and gore causing big dips in performance, especially when looking at blobs fighting?
Fimir is the only race in WHFB that reproduce via rape in the canon. They haven't been a thing since 3rd/4th edition of WHFB.
Hey lads I've never played a total war game before any suggestions on what I should star with?
Don't worry guys we'll make it through this.
>>147104437
should i worry about any tutorials or such?
>>147101812
VC garrisons were fucking goat.
Vargeists in among an infantry unit tear apart any infantry unit trying to attack in no time.
>Blood knight upkeep is 424 shekels
>>147105141
How does that even happen.
Are Helblaster less shit now?
>>147105336
>marginally better than black knights
>way more expensive
What exactly is the point.
>>147105231
Go in balls deep and then come ask questions here later after your troops die a glorious death
>>147105116
Pick your poison
Shogun 2 for a polished and refined experience
Rome 1/Med 2 for some good old fashioned janky yet fun goodness with loadsa mods and interesting time periods
Atilla for a refinement of the modern formula, also arguably the hardest and most complex total war
Warhammer if you like throwing fantasy shit together, which it happens to be good at
If you prefer muskets and cannons, there's Empire which is fairly broken and wonky but has an interesting campaign map, Napoleon is smaller but actually works, Shogun 2 fall of the samurai for the best shooting if you don't mind ARR ROOK SAME
Guys in FotS does it matter whether my trade port is American, Franch, or British?
mother of god
>>147105595
oh FUCK YES here i go learning the hard way, and the way that pisses off some people in the general :^)
>>147105821
LOL what the fuck?
>play orc campaign
>hired an orc shaman
>it immediately broke its back during some stupid orc ritual and is wounded from a long ass turn
HA! DATS WHY YOU NED TO LEAVE DA CUNNI'N JOB TO GOBBO SHAMAN, DA LITTLE WAAARGH! NOT SOM' NOT CUNNING DUM DUM ORC SHAMAN BOSS!
>>147105821
>make battles even faster
FUCKING
WHY
CA
>>147105342
it's probs a garrison vs bjornlings
>>147106018
they want you to be looking at loading screens, not playing battles because it exposes how shitty it is
>>147105678
Thanks for the run down mate, I'll pick one up and try not to get all my chaps butchered from the get go.
>>147091523
China too. There's a saying, (I can't remember exactly what they call it), that real China died with the Song
>>147105336
you expect cheap salary for abnorash's chosen?
Wow, mods have really fleshed M1 out.
>>147105141
>wolf that weak against
>most of the unit don't wear real armor
>troll is the only one that can deal real damage and survive because aoe , some what tough unit and Armour piercing attack, but it runs away
nah, you will do just fine against those poor equip marauder.
>>147100929
Not sure if you're still here, but that's what I use my gunships for. Wait until you win, then tell them to board the surrendered/routing enemy ships. The won't fight back, and you'll instantly capture them
So are the new +300 events only if you have blood and gore? Mod to remove them when? They are not even interesting.
>>147106585
fucking thank you, time to capture me some nippon boats
>>147104653
It'll do that because of all the extra particle effects and shit.
>>147105779
It determines what foreign troops you can recruit. Check out that encyclopedia and it'll tell you what you get
