Is it?
yes.
though my Grimgor has been assasinated 3 times in row without being able to move even once
>>338764668
Getting a hero up requires so much shit in this game
Have to do quests/take settlements to get that early hero to do shit
>>338764754
Yeah the AI heroes have huge levels very fast and assasinate yours right and left.
Best to just embed them in your army
>enemies attacking and recruiting in the same turn while in march stance
is this just a co op thing or is the same that fucking broken on higher difficulties because "so hard xD"
>>338765489
What kind of enemies does that?
>>338765635
my bro is fighting vampires and they constantly attack him multiple times in a turn while in march stance, then ran to another opponents territory AND was suffering attrition as a result and then recruited like 9 units afterwards. all in one movement with one army.
Yes
Chaos is fun as fuck
>>338766084
Vampire factions can use a "raise dead" option anywhere at anytime(except when no dead are available). They can raise more dead if there has been a great battle in the area they are in. Most "raise dead" units are shit tier but they can make a lot of them very fast.
I think this Total War is the fucking hardest by far. The whole game is a get-fucked simulator. Especially if you play any other faction that is not Empire. Enemy Empire is just too good in terms of diversity and will simply destroy you with their OP cavs from pistoleers and knights.
Another thing is that the enemy AI is pretty clever in open battles and will often feign and ruse you. They all love using cav in fights. Too many time have I've fallen for the tricks where they use cavalry to bait and switch you where they get in right close to some of your back up troops to keep them out of battle, which is fucking genius. You either focus on that cav and lose the opportunity in having those troops into battle, because he drags you away, or risk ignoring the harassing cav and getting hammer-and-anviled.
I think I need to replay some previous Total War titles.
Nice they fixed the launch issues and performance issues.
my PC is now running it on ultra with everything maxed.
Feels good man
It's alright.
>>338766084
Vamps have a unique race ability to raise the dead of previous battles, even battles they do not participate in.
>>338766379
I had to switch from Hard to Normal. Shit was ridiculous and not its bearable atleast

good goy
My game always crashes when I finish a fight in the campaign and get to the unit losses screen thing

How bad are the bugs? Should I spend the money on turnt juice instead?
>>338766352
>>338766459
didn't know they could raise dead even while marching but that still doesn't explain attacking while marching though. if you've got the game open the army started in templehof, attacked waldenhof and then moved into essen in one go on like turn 4
>>338764460
I'd say so
>>338766540
>>338766379
You're getting me hyped.
>>338766839

Not played Total war since Rome II release.
I'll save the thread Rome II bashing but I'd like to know how this compares to it.
looks really good game, dont care or have never played warhammer before but i've always thought a fantasy total war would be cool.

I'm considering buying it, even though I don't have a PC to play it right now, just so I get the DLC for free.
>>338767240
Doesn't have near the technical issues that Rome 2 did on launch. I did have a ui flickering issue when it first started but changing to borderless windowed seems to have fixed it. Also seems to take an ass long time to load when you first start it up, but it's fine after. Game runs surprisingly well and looks good. If you like warhammer and total war gameplay it's definitely worth checking out.
>>338767602
Why do you not have a PC right now?
>>338767602
Steam summer sale is in a month or two. I bet my ass the discount will make base game + DLC cost more or less the same.
>>338767685
*to play it
My current one has a 6 year old CPU and I'm to overworked right now to find the power for building a new one.
>>338767034
Help your Norscan subjugators out by helping them gain territory and occupying settlements. You have a nice little plot of land for a large amount of time so you can run back and replenish on Norscan troops. Because its either that, or risk letting the enemy come back several turns later to reclaim the area and having to run back to settlements close to the start.
I'm telling you man, it's genius.
>>338767753
I don't think they'd put in on sale that soon.
It's a Total War game
Buy it a couple years after it comes out for 15 bucks with all the DLC.
>>338767753
>>338767602
The DLC is just a pre order incentive to buy the game early.
Give it a month or two and they'll make it free for all or charge £1 for it.
>>338766839
With a 980 I havent gotten any graphical errors or crashes after 5 hours. The only thing ive noticed was some UI flickering, but a reset fixed that.
Downloading as we speak. Will probably play with Mannfred first but Azhag is tempting as well. There's none of my fav heroes from Warhammer so I have to play with that is given.

A 10/20% sale is practically guaranteed. Hell, legit retailers had the pre-order at -25% sale.

>>338768046

I am not touching humies till Bretonnia comes out fully
There will be 2 stand-alone expansions which will expand the map and add more factions, or you could just buy those expansions to get only the expanded part and only new factions.
>>338767753
I remember when this happened to Rockstar when they released GTA V close to the summer.
They just increased the price of the game, with some bullshit online coins, so that even with the discount, it turned out to 60 dollars.
>>338767240
It plays more like Medieval 2 than it does everything anything post Empire
>>338768538
that's good, I felt like the battles have lacked oomph since MTW2
>>338767753
Bet again. You might get a 10% discount if you are lucky, tho. $6 is totally worth waiting a month, right?
But yah, nah. Major releases don't get deals four weeks after release
>Build siege towers
>They get rekt by the static archer towers before they make it halfway to the wall, killing half the dudes inside
Am I missing something with these that makes them not garbage?
This games battles are so satisfying.
>>338768815
Mass assault against a narrow section of the wall. If playing as Vamps, use zombies as literal meat shields.
>>338768706
No more matched combat animations
They got rid if that
Now its good ol units flailing at each other
>>338768815
Screen with your bats(placing your bats infront of their arc of fire), If you are playing as vampire counts. Build more siege towers

This is reassuring
Has anyone experienced enough battles to make a general comment about whether they're over in 5 minutes or whether they last a decent length
>>338769275
or you know, keep your infantry line on guard mode so they don't run after routing units and fuck your line of defense
>>338769819
Depends on the size of the battle and how good you are.
>>338769819
go watch streams nigger, it seems like theyre over in 5 minutes like every total war in the past 5 years
>>338769819
Combat is alot slower and methodical, no more one rear cav charge and a unit disintegrates instantly like Attila. You will shift your lines multiple times during a battle as well as microing your special abilities
>>338768942
Fucking Empire knights... you making me so maddd!!!
>>338769169

>>338769169

>tfw you are supreme
I hear siege maps are reused to some degree, do different factions have unique siege maps? Do capital cities have their own siege maps?
I don't think I could stand playing the same maps over and over again, especially considering how awful total war sieges tend to be
>>338771101
>dwarfen reading comprehension

>>338770964
That's a big guy.
You can play the campaign co-op with a friend?!
Any of you guys found a way to remap the camera tilt button to anything other than the middle mouse button?
it's a piece of shit. nearly all the fucking factions play the same. the empire building manages to be more bland than rome 2. nearly every fucking ork plays the same with some variation in stats. skellies suffer from fatigue and are afraid of large opponents.
absolute wasted potential.
>>338771725
Yeah. If your friend is spectating the battle, you can give them command of some of your troops, so they can help you out. It's a pretty nifty feature.
How are sieges in this game?
My favorite map/battle type was defending my castles in fall of the samurai.
Are they at least as fun here?
Is the game working? I just downloaded and can't play because "The server is not reachable, check your internet connection". Steam is working. Battle.net is working. 4chan is working. What's going on?
will i enjoy this if i loved medieval 2 and the first rome but hated everything they did since warscape?
do the charges look powerful now? do the fights have weight or are the units still morphing into each other?

>>338772048
You need to raid it. As in march in a raiding stance in the province.
>>338771986
fights still don't have weight. charges look fucking stupid now with units flying 100ft then proceeding to get up. it looks actually retarded.
>>338771948

Ah. Fuck.
>>338772048
>Raid this!
>Raze it

>>338771986
The engine feels like they upgraded from medieval 2 instead of the one they have used since Empire
Is there actually combat in this game or just simulated combat on the strategy map? I've watched a few twitch streams but never actually saw combat.
>>338772223
when I raze a settlement I get 'horde growth +4' which lasts one turn.
What is this?

Never seen the AI in a TW game actually use tactics before.
>>338771986
attila is the best game for the physics of a charge
>>338771869
They are more fun because they are bigger and more focused fights.
Although you can only siege cities, not towns. Town fights take place on a normal battlefield with no buildings.
... I liked Empire.
>>338773087
But it was horribly OP to the point where everyone would bring 6 cav units to every multiplayer battle
>>338772518
actual combat as in all total war games
you engage an enemy army on the campaign map and choose to autoresolve or take the field and control your units.
>>338764460
According to the last thread and /vg/, offical board and reddit, its seems to be an overpriced Total War Addon.
That means it has only 4 races, doesn't run very well and will have tons of DLCs.
>>338771792
Well that just all lies.
All factions play completely different.
Dwarves Heavy line and artillery, no cav or fast units.
Orcs lots of cheap expendable units, fast weak units and slow strong units mixed with monsters.
Vampires no range at all, weak low tier infantry but cheap to mass. Lots of flying monstrous units and powerfull magic
Empire jack of all trades, good cav decent infantry and artillery.
>>338771792
This is bait right?
Even the way each faction plays on the campaign map feels different.
Dwarves are OP as fuck, getting my Orky dick kicked in by their nigh invincible units while trying to take out the other Ork factions. Seems like they've improved the AI in this game quite a bit though which is surprising since I didn't think CA ever had that in them.
>>338773150
Are there monster multi-tiered citadels that need scaling?
Towers?
Upgradeable fortifications?
>>338772740
I've noticed they adapt. I got into a back and forth siege war with greenskins. They eventually figured out I was just using one of the Death spells on their ranged infantry that they kept on wall. They placed less and less up there until they just kept them off the wall so they could open fire when my skellies got up there.
After I realized they got smart I just razed the city. Fuck that noise.
>>338772648
thanks cunt
>>338774026
Siege maps are smaller and like Medieval 2 again, with only a small section of wall and city to fight in/over, instead of having whole cities and forts like the past 5 TW games.
Fightin' an Lootin'
I never played a total war game, but I think I might have tried a demo of one that came on a cd years ago. I remember the units were really awkward to control and would constantly do stuff I didn't want them to if I didn't babysit them. is this game like that?
How does this game run on toasters, I need to use my piece of shit laptop for 2 more months before I go back to my rig.
>>338774228
How is the siege map variety?
Are capital cities more elaborate than the rest?
>>338774317
I have a GTX 760, and I can run this game on high settings and have a pretty decent FPS.
I'm literally amazing
>>338774317
Running fine on a mix of high and ultra on my 6 year old PC (GTX 480, 6gb RAM, i7-970). Load times into battles take a few minutes sometimes, and the campaign map has some framerate problems ocassionally but otherwise it seems to be running well.
>>338774602

Because they're the backbone of the Ork forces and since they have the spears it wouldn't do for them to break and flee immediately.
not my kind of game. got it refunded. I might try it again if it becomes cracked
>>338771869
They mostly suck. You just defend a single section of the wall, with no secondary walls. Pretty straight forward and smaller towns don't even get a siege, the garrison just fights in the field like you sallied out.
>>338772524
Your horde is also your base, growth lets you upgrade your buildings and shit.

Depends on difficulty, size of forces involved, and player skill.
Watching a streamer right meow, he's okay at the game, playing with Chaos (1 army only four the time being) and he takes like 5-15 minutes for each engagement. Not including outliers like his entire 20 unit army vs a lord and 2 basic units or the battles where he spends 5+ minutes mopping up routing forces.

>All in all, Total War: WARHAMMER suffers from major CPU optimization issues. Also, forget a 60fps experience in this particular game during very demanding scenarios. The only way to overcome the game’s optimization issues is by using a CPU that offers better ‘per core’ performance. So yes, newer CPUs will be able to handle better Total War: WARHAMMER, but that’s due to their better ‘per core’ performance, and not because the game actually uses all the available CPU cores/threads.
>While Creative Assembly claimed that Total War: WARHAMMER takes “better advantage of multicore CPUs, balancing the load across the cores so that no single core is maxed out and limiting framerates while others sit idle,” that’s exactly what we’ve experienced. Our performance was limited because one (or in other situations two) cores were maxed out. So we are really puzzled why Creative Assembly lied about it.

That doesn't fucking matter though. Warcraft lore makes sense. It has a logical progression with the story and technology i.e. steam tanks. Warhammers lore is all over the place and has technology that shouldn't be there (steam tanks ripped from WoW) plus more than one race.
I'm 20 hours in. Game is fun. I have played it all day. Is it me or is it harder? I had to restart a campaign once.

Since when is 9gag relevant? I guess that on Reddit and /b/ it still is, that only goes to show how low-tier you are

You wanted a strategy game on a console? How retarded are you? Or are you just an underaged summerfag?

But Blizzard objectively made an objectively better game than GW ever could and ever will. Look at the success of Warcraft compared to Warhammer.
>Since when is 9gag relevant? I guess that on Reddit and /b/ it still is, that only goes to show how low-tier you are
Because shitposters like you constantly bring it up.
>>>It's not on console
>You wanted a strategy game on a console? How retarded are you? Or are you just an underaged summerfag?
99% of people have consoles which are objectively superior to PC because of controllers. CA is missing out by not making this a console game exclusively.

At least they are actually orcs and not some muh green human barbino niggers that dindu nuffin.

That being said is fun so far. Mostly psyched that it works fine on my rig and it's definitely harder than previous games. Was too busy expanding west against marienburg then Vamp cunts came outta nowhere and pushed my shit in so gave up on that campaign. Maybe Dwarfs for defensive play and learn the game?
Need to actually learn the lore now.

>>338784175
Is this in the 40k universe? Are these the same Orks? Why is it Warhammwr then?
Should I go Empire or VC on my first playthrough?
>>338784278
Warhammer*
Fuck my shitty hands
the animation for destroying walls in literally a puff of smoke and the entire section of the wall disappears with no debris left.
Add that to ridiculously small cities, and the sieges are really disappointing
>>338784534
Yeah... I am pirating this one.
Sorry.
>>338784278
1) Yes and no. The chaos gods are the same from the 40k setting, but the warhammer world is distinctly separate for the most part. In earlier editions, Chaos warriors/demons could call on chaos marines, and Elves, Eldar. In the end times, the recent and last supplement series, Skaven may have contacted Eldar and Elves may have worked with grey knights from 40k.
2) No.
3) Warhammer fantasy was the original warhammer setting and was named due to Sigmars weapon I think.
These captchas suck
>>338784695
No you aren't.
I'm enjoying it quite alot but does anyone else feel like it's a bit too easy? I'm on turn 40 as the empire and I already own almost 50% of the empire thanks to confederations.
>>338784883
??
I am not giving my money to cucks.
>>338784695
also no special killing animations, and only like two death animations for each unit
>>338784926
>Pirating Denuvo
>>338784926
You aren't pirating it, sorry.
>>338784278
For a while (they stopped) the were in the habit of giving niggling hints that Warhammer Fantasy was just one world isolated by a warpstorm, or that all of w40k was a universe in a glass jar on a wizard's desk in whfb.
They're basically distinct, aside from chaos daemons though.
>play chaos
>have a decent start with a few lucky breaks
>get a couple of allied tribes on my side
>unawakened norscans start hitting back against allied tribes and retaking razed settlements

I think I'm going to put this campaign on the backburner.
>>338785015
>>338784987
>le you are not pirating denuvo meme all over again
Yeah, same thing was said with all of those games that got cucked on a while ago.
Same thing will happen with this one. Who cares really.
>>338785158
chaoskeks
On another note dae have problems with total war games on steam still saying theyre running after exiting? Then I can't exit steam until it closes but it wont let me.
>>338780708
i wouldnt give a shit because im not a poorfag. I got the refund cause its easy to do. fuck yourself
>>338784804
So it's in the same Multiverse as 40k, but not the same universe? Gotcha
>>338774295
Of course, you're more of a general trying to direct them with orders instead of the instant micro you see in Starcraft.
>>338785397
One can basically say that yeah. The warp is weird and doesn't really follow space/time. IE: Nurgle was created in 40k around the time of the black death. but once Nurgle existed, he had always existed before then, and since.
>>338785236
Sorry but no, you aren't pirating this game.
>>338785518
I think the Warp is like Xen in Half Life, or Hell in the new Doom, a dimension between dimensions, the one that connecta them. But I'm not big into Warhammer lore, so I might be completely wrong
>>338764460
better buy it quick for that day 1 dlc, goyim
>>338766379
This one makes you take some losses, unless you're dorfs you'll never not get fucked a bit.
It's literally anarchy for everybody and the dorfs just get to sit it out.
>>338782478
Nope. Rome 2 had more and that game wasn't nearly as hyped.
>>338785370
>fuck yourself
Already did pal. Checkmate.
>>338785951
touche
>>338785852
Rome 2 was massively hyped with record pre-orders whereas this one has heavy dislikes on all youtube videos in protest of the Day 1 DLC issues which is why pre-orders have been so low....
>>338785638
Ok champ.
Just like dragon age right?
>>338785852
>a game about Romans not hyped
You're retarded and probably underage. Rome and Medieval are the best selling games in the franchise for obvious reasons. Compared to literally any other theme it's obvious Warhammer was a success. Beyond this, something like Warhammer is a bit more niche than historical settings that encompass the middle ages and classical antiquity.
This should be obvious, but I had to spell it out for underage retards
>>338784165
Even worse there were people addressing each of his points individually.
>>338786426
Gonna enjoy it just like that pirated Rise of the tomb raider?
and hitman?
And just cause 3?
And Doom?
>>338786812
And you're still talking about him, you're as retarded as them
>>338784695
You're not playing it more like.
But hey, at least you're saving time not playing a game you don't see as being worth buying. :^)
So we agreed that 111k sales are good then? Warhammer trilogy is not getting canned?
Good, I want my lizardmen.
>>338787212
Me too anon
Me too
>>338787212
That's not sales that's players online at once but yes for a strategy game it's really good.
>>338764460
I only played for 3 hours but I can tell you it's hilarious to watch a dwarfen lord in cinematic camera jumping at a horde of greenskins and send them plummeting through the air when he lands at their feet like a 500lbs rock
>>338773362
other total wars only had one race and sometimes the niggers, lol what a gay
>>338787569
1/10th of a million is really good sales for a strategy game

>>338766379
>>338785850

>>338787868
>concurrent players = sales
how education has fallen
>>338766607
mhm I've never done total war campaign multiplayer. how does it work? is it play via email based or something? do you have to stay in one session until it ends (for dozens of hours wtf?)? can you stay and observe after you die?
>>338787976
>I'm slaughtering greenskins
That's what makes you be on easy mode, it doesn't mean you are gonna beat the campaign, just that in this very timefrime in your campaign, other races are being pushed hard already, as you would if you were the greenskins instead of dwarves.
Wait till Chaos descends on you, and your kingdom will be put to test.
>ur gonna get raped
So does this game have DX12? Because I can't find anything in the options that enables/disables it.
Will I be able to run it half-decently?
>>338788450
Yes, as long as you stick to Low-Medium.
>>338788448
Not yet. DX12 is post release patch.
>>338788450
Maybe on all low
>>338787984
>thinking concurrent players aren't a good measure of pre-orders + day 1 sales

>>338788448
Not on release. DX12 will be patched in later on.
>>338788584
They aren't. I'll give you one reason why:
timezones
and different people have different schedules
>>338788450
I think so yes, dunno about "half decently" but fairly sure you can run it
>>338764754

>>338788815
Can't die of old age, and there is no passage of time or seasons
will it have Vulkan?
With this shit CPU optimization it'd really help it
>>338788869
it's 3~5AM in europe
>>338788815
The game doesn't last 500 years.
>>338777962
It should run pretty well for you man, it runs pretty nicely for me with a 660gtx & i5 3570 @ 3.4 ghz. Worst case scenario, set up a custom battle with max settings (max army roster, big map, multiple cpu players) and test it out. If the stuttering is unbearable, then just message customer support for a refund or w/e (2 hour rule)
do i stand a chance?

Battle AI seems really good though yeah, although a swarm of two Bat units plus Vargheists is hilarious against the bitch Empire. Just land that shit on their back line of ranged units and any melee units that pull back to help pretty much instantly lose morale from fear.

Fucking how?!
I-I'm scared.
I got a question. Do rebels still spawn in to existence after being summoned from the Rebel Dimension, like every other Total War? It bothers the hell out of me. Like in Shogun 2, how can this rebel army suddenly spring into existence with a half stack of samurai archers and katanas when this province couldn't make those units when I took it nor could it in the time since? Same thing with Empire with rebels creating Line Infantry and Cannon when they shouldn't be able to. The only explanation is that occultist wizards summon them from the Rebel Dimension. Does this game do the same thing?
>>338791774
Not to mention the metric fuck ton of chinks giving it a bad review for the lack of moon runes.
>>338791396
>undead dragon
Well, I haven't gotten to those yet. You know Vargheists are nowhere near dragons right?
>>338792073
You probably should be, Vamps are pretty strong. Much stronger than all those shitty pre-release playtest videos led to believe.
>>338768942
They all just get up? For real? What the fuck?
WAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
>>338789391
Then just save and wait it will only get better instead of getting fixed.
How the fuck do I reduce chaos corruption?
>>338792328

PLEASE never make a game, it would be imbalanced as fuck if someone like you were in charge.
>>338792431
Holy fuckballs that's magnificent.
>>338792117
That'd be the rest of the bad reviews, yes. It's way more than 1% though.
What a weird thing to complain about. The game isn't in fucking Norwegian either, but that doesn't mean I think it's a bad game.
>>338786895
I never said I am pirating now, its not cracked.
But it will, just like all those games, thats the nature progression of things anon. Sorry.
>>338792537
I wish I knew. I'm stuck building structures that help a bit.
>>338792738
I have a battle priest and it says he passively reduces the corruption by -2 and yet my provinces are still +1 per turn. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
How long until the inevitable blood and Gore DLC comes out? This shit should already be in the game. Bunch of greedy fucks.
>>338792610
It's basically an "Amazon" tier review system at this point, and whilst it's perfectly valid to have localisation grievances etc, the fact that those "reviews" hold just as much weight as genuine reviews is ridiculous.
>>338792568
You're being a dumbass, cut it out. I'm asking why everyone who was knocked 50 feet into the air just gets up like nothing happened. It looks absolutely ridiculous and makes the whole "send them 50 feet into the air" thing lose any feeling of strength or weight. They could have made it however they wanted, but CA chose to make it like that.
anyone with similar specs running on high? is it CPU intensive, rather than gpu?
>>338792643
Piratefags don't understand. You lost.
The last chink group in the scene was paid off.
There is no longer anyone working on breaking Denuvo.
Sooner or later someone might fimd an exploit but that's probably a decade from now. Is your time on this Earth really worth little enough for you to wait that long?
>>338792101
Are you brain damaged? A stack of rebel samurai rebelling were common in the sengoku jidai.
Just because they spawned on X province, doesn't mean X province recruited them. They could be leftovers of factions you destroyed, mercenaries and god knows what else.
Same with Empire, literally pirates.
>>338793061
So, yes, they're just summoned from the Rebel Dimension.
>>338792991
It's too bad to. It'll make an otherwise excellent game look mediocre to new players.

Dealing with that crap right now. I don't why the empire heroes are so good so early on, or is the vamp heroes just weak in assassinations early on. They're good in battle but just crude on the campaign.
>>338792995
Yes, because it looks COOL and hilarious.
Games are suppose to be fun, you autistic sperg.
>>338793147

It takes time but yiu can do it. I believe in you Anon.
>>338793359
It looks hilarious - in a bad way - but not cool. It'd be cool if they didn't get back up like nothing happened.
>you autistic sperg.
Good job goy, $0.05 has been deposited into your account
What type of rpg elements does this game have?
>>338792319
They were a really tough fight, yeah. My line barely held against them, and Mannfred was kicking Thorgrim's ass. I only got lucky when their other wizard got too close to me and I killed him, making their soldier bindings crumble.
>>338793245
Why drop it? You clearly enjoy it just have fun with it.
Veterans are having a hard time with this game too, you know.
reeeee bonebags get out
>>338792995
Napoleon: TW did the same thing. Cannons in that game only ever kill 3 men with solid shot. The ball may physically hit 9 men and send them all flying like bowling pins, but all but 3 just get up and run back into formation.
CA blew it out of the park with Total Warhammer.
Been playing Total War games since the Medieval:Total War demo that was on GameSpy. The hard work they put into and tested with Atilla has worked perfectly for Warhammer.
Every faction is unique, no more 3-4 factions with the same units.
>Legendary Lords face when he solo kills the enemy Lord
>>338793217
As long as people actually take the time to read the good/bad reviews it's fine, but yeah at a glance......especially on release, it can completely fuck the devs, inversely rabid fanboys can completely fuck over other paying customers. The Division is a prime example, that had ridiculously positive reviews for the first week, and now it's a train wreck.
I *almost* feel like reviews shouldn't even be a thing for the first few days...maybe even a week, as there always seems to be way to much knee jerk sperging or outright fanboyism out of the gates.

Also nice meme, you 9fag spewing retard. How the fuck would call someone a sperg relate to a shill? Are you that desperate to make a come back?
Cavalry charge are only for cool factor, the one time it wasn't just cool factor was in Attila, and you saw what happened then where everyone had half their army composed of cavalry because it was completely fucking retarded. Pretty much like you, kek.
>>338793956
>see:
You're acting like the number of enemies who go flying is fixed. Like they literally cannot make it so that fewer than 20 men go flying in one charge. You're being an idiot and I suggest you stop. CA could have made it however they wanted, and yet they thought having 20 men go flying and get up like nothing happened was the way to do things.
>>338793241
That's a hilarious screenshot, well done.

>there's a warhammer mod for medieval 2?
Uh, yeah, it's been out for literally years.
>>338794197
It was ok, buggy and crashed alot but had alot of flavor to it; army/unit wise.
>>338794421
There a new one but its not finished.
>>338794085
Its not a fixed mechanic of flying units by cavalry you dumb goose. If the cavalry unit charging hits an enemy hit, it triggers the send flying animation.
Do you know nothing about this? Adding a condition to that action would be a waste of code and resources. Who gives a flying fuck if 20 men are flying or 5 men are flying? (5 men flying looks completely fucking akward when a cavalry charge is composed of over 20 horses charging)
Your complains are literally fucking retarded, and again only a nitspicking sperg would ever give half the shit you give about an animation design.
I bet you cried your eyes out at the anime style blood and gore dlc in shogun 2 for being so over the place and not "bland and serious". Stop being so boring, anon.
I wonder if I should get this, the last TW I played was Empire and I have 265 hours in it on easy. I know fuck all about Warhammer, but this seems like fun.
>>338793651

You serious, nigga?
>Who gives a flying fuck if 20 men are flying or 5 men are flying?
You do apparently, since you think that it'd be dumb if everyone who flew also died.
>Your complains are literally fucking retarded
No, and we can all see that you are being the retarded autist sperglord here. No one things it looks good that people soar in the air and get back up afterwards like nothing happened.

Yeah it's been awhile for me, gotta check in.
>>338794875
>no one thinks that it looks good
I do.
>>338795109
So who's bonin' who?
>>338795016
personally I just wait until it looks like I'm about to win and then pause and comb the battlefield for any funny situations
>20-30FPS on a 770
is this true?
>>338795378
I'm running everything maxed on a 660 and I'm getting 30FPS
It's amazingly well optimized, the total opposite of Attila
>>338794875
Adding any extra condition to the one the game already has is, by definition of the word, a waste of resources. The are many areas more important to touch than adding a double if or while or for or whatever condition you would have to add.
Also it does look good so kil yourself already. The cavalry charge is the best it has ever been.
>>338777923
KILL MARIENBURG
confederate as much as you can
>>338795027
Is this your first total war game?
I would get this game but the whole Denuvo thing has scared me off since I hear it bricks your machine and fucks with shit and makes the game unstable?
Does the game run like ass or is it smooth for a CA game?
>>338795538
yes
>>338795553
You fell for the fear mongering. There is no evidence it does any of that. It may impact FPS
>>338795553
as i understand it, it runs very well, unless you're using AMD CPUs

Good thinking, here have Brettonia knights as a reward.

What in the actual fuck.
I'm pretty casual by Total War standards only having played a campaign or two for most of the games, but the original Rome was fucking amazing.

You sure he's not just someone who REALLY prefers Medieval 2 to rome 1?

>starting total war with the hardest entry
Total war is simple shit

just build units
>battle map
just flank and bait&switch
easy peasy
>>338795719
Rome 1 had some issues, but its still my favorite game of all time. Post his youtube I will make him cry
>>338795587
Build up armies and throw them at enemy towns
Don't try attacking with anything less then a full 20-unit stack. But don't have more then one army when you first start or you'll just go bankrupt.

Medieval 2 fags are the most hated total war fans among the total war community
I have Rome and Medieval 2. Medieval seems more interest to me than Rome even tho I don't know a ton about either. Idk which to play
>>338795606

Thanks I might just have to pick it up then since I do like me some total war but this Denuvo thing scared me off at first since there are people on /v/ that claim it bricks your machine and SSDs.

>Medieval 2 fags shit on every game that isn't Medieval 2
that anon here, there are a couple exceptions to that
Legend isn't terribly insufferable, for example
>>338796121
THen I'd have to play Shogun 1 and medieval 1 first and I don't really want to and I don't have one of them
>>338796150
I'm just like running my army into the enemy army and it's just a giant blob with no strategy at all
>>338796292
i meant play rome 1 before medieval 2 you dingus
99% of people have never played the first shogun
80% of people have never played the first medieval
and judging by this thread there are shitloads of people who've never played any of the TW games and are starting with Warhammer.

Then I played barbarian invasion expansion, and god damn rome truly is a great game in a great setting. Can't believe I was such a fag before playing it.

In the early editions the Fantasy world was a planet lost in a warpstorm in the 40k galaxy, while simultaneously the 40k galaxy was inside a crystal ball in one of the colleges of magic (or the grand theogonist's palace I forget) in Altdorf.

>>338793896
Gotrek and Felix are the generally recommended entry-level books.
>>338796837
If this game gets more than one expansion, definitely not until the second. They'll certainly add Elves and Daemons, possibly Skaven first. Even Tomb Kings, considering they're closer on the map.
>>338796297
Are you winning?
>>338793039
3dm isn't a scene.
>>338795050
No there is a botet one that expands the map but it's not truly finished according to devs who pushed it out early.
So how is magic? way too strong or balanced? Does the AI know how to properly use magic in battle?
>>338798679
I'm finding Counts getting direct beats on Lords and Heroes early game to be a little too stacked in my favor. But for the most part I find the augments more powerful overall.
Haven't gone against a caster yet. But I've seen some streams and videos where they perform /fairly/ well.
How does it run and how does it play?
I hated the Total War games since Rome 2 because of the new campaign system.
I'm running a 6700k and a 980 and Attila was running at 40 fps at 1080p, can I expect similarly trashy performance?
>>338799248
Running decent for me on high with a subpar system. i5 3.1 GHz, GTX 960. No crashes besides the server BS this morning. What specifically about the campaign didn't you like?
>>338799248
It has better optimization than attila(if you don't have an AMD CPU)
f you can run Attila you can run this
>>338799493
I loved medieval 2's/Rome 1's system and tolerated Empire's.
I just couldn't get over several of their design choices. Limited number of armies, 'food', cities being split into main and sub-cities where only the main can be walled, etc etc.
>>338764460
>not 40k
>>338799832
>memek
lol
grow up
>>338799706
Some of that returns, mainly the Main then sub cities. It's a little different this time around and you can bolster your sub regions with improved garrison at the cost of a construction slot. No limit on armies as long as your income and diplomacy can handle it. No food, but still public order, however there's no negatives to it from buildings.
Been a while since I did M2 or R1, but pretty sure everyone will agree that the civil strat this time around is lighter in content.
>>338799706
Forgot to add there are no small sieges at the moment anyways. They default to open field battles. I'm seeing mixed reports of if this is intended or not. I'm leaning towards it is, because they were fucking retarded in Rome 2

Fully backed by CA and equipped steamworks. Already some up.
>>338799550
It runs fine on an AMD cpu, the real problem is on some of the higher end Nvidia cards it simply shits itself with stuttering problems in the UI and other optimization issues.
My 960 handled the game better than my 980
I only played Shogun 2, how does buildings work in Warhammer?
It seems that most provinces can only have a level 3 town and are forever cucked out of half the building tree so how do you utilize them?
How can I economy in this game?
Does the AI still cheat like there's no tomorrow?
>>338792537
Heroes and buildings
I don't really play total war games...
Is it primarily counters?
I seem to lose a good amount of fights due to being out numbered but I see many people here stomp huge armies way larger than theirs.
How do I git gud?
>>338781367
>>338781765
The reason warcraft was even made was because games workshop pulled out while most of a game was made by blizzard and they went "fuck it lets just keep making it."
Crazy how well it turned up.
>>338791743
They got Inquisition cracked in less than a week or something. It had nothing to do with denuvo though, it was an exploit with origin.
>>338801307
Analyze the strength and weaknesses of each unit you have, position your units
accordingly in battle.

Oh right That's interesting, I legit didn't know.
Do people play multiplayer or is this one of those "primarily single player" kind of strategy games?
>>338801307
Infantry units are your front line meat shields
Spear/Anti cavalry units go on your flanks to protect your's, or attack theirs
Ranged on ranged hate crimes until their ranged breaks, then range their flanking units, then the meat blob, that includes artillery in a non-siege fight
Large/Cav units to slam blobs from behind for damage and morale shock
Use your Lords and Heroes to the up most of their potential
Use your flying units to take out anything pissing you off greatly or you lack a ground counter for
Spam any direct damage and debuff spells you might have on their army leader
Always widen the lines of your units to increase chances of wrapping around their blobs
Go forth and die.
>>338801778
High Elves and Tomb Kings are more revelant to the Old World than Vlad von Carstein and the Red Duke?
Are you fucking serious? Wood Elves are more relevant than High Elves.

A lot of people seem to forget that little tidbit of "exploit through Origin". I'm a pirate fag myself but I at least know when the fight is in the kike's favor, for now.
>>338801623
Also sack everything before you occupy it, in Shogun 2 they loved fucking you over with retarded amounts of daimyo dishonor if you did, but now you'll just suffer some public order problems for a couple turns while reaping the benefit of potentially several thousands of free dosh.

too bad because we only have like 1000 000 40k games already boo hoo
>>338794197
There are several now. The first and most well known is Call of Warhammer/Rage of the Dark Gods, a clunky Russian piece of shit that uses so many scripts its impossible to finish a campaignalso scripted "invasions" by orks/chaos spawn 20 full stacks have fun. Second is the Sundering, which is the elven civil war on Ulthuan, and pretty fucking boring. Third just came out on Friday and is CoW minus the ridiculous scripting and a much larger map that covers most of the world, but its a mess because it was obviously rushed out in order to beat the official release for some stupid reason.
>>338793896
flip through some of the army books if you get a chance, tons of short story kinda stuff
>>338801623
>>338802379
But the income buildings offer low cash, the most expensive one is the pub and the clothier line.
Trade agreements are also hard to obtain since even playing as Empire all the other Lords are hostile to me and the game is telling me to wipe out all the nearby Lords so that leaves me to the Dwarves and Brettonnia who are also in some form of civil war.
I also can't seem to adjust the tax rate.
so is there still shit like religion, fertility and that stupid power/control system? spent more time making filthy peasants happy than actualy fighting in attila
>>338803087
I have plenty of trade with Brettonia and Dwarves
>>338803154
Corruption is a thing. And negative public order.
>>338803087
Oh I haven't bothered with Empire beyond 10 or so turns yet. I unified Reikland and fucked back off to my Dwarfs campaign.
Sorry can't assist more anon.
Why does everything have a German name?
>>338801971
people do play multiplayer and there is a decently dedicated community for each game when it releases but they pale in comparison to the people who play it for singleplayer.
also the singleplayer campaign can be done co-op, but given how a campaign can take dozens of hours to finish its best done with a friend
>>338792610
the difference is these are chinks.
>>338803440
The empire is based off the holy roman empire

1. Dogs of War and Regiments of renown will not make an appearance and they're definitely not on the road map for the future.
2. The aim to cover every army that has an Army Book in 8th Edition.
3. Though the first game only cover the continent of The Old World, they will by the end of it all (after the third game's release) cover the entire Warhammer World (aka The Worlde).
4. Confirmed that all standard multiplayer game types (including co-op) from previous Total War games will be included (with the exception of naval combatof course).
Also a little bit of interesting information that I was told by one of the CA guys in the SEGA zone was that the older staff have thought Warhammer would've been great for a Total War game for years. Eventually SEGA got the licence, Games Workshop happened to agree with them at CA from the start and they got the go ahead. The older guys at CA had the idea of making a Warhammer themed Total War way back when Total War was relatively new franchise. This game has been on the cards unofficially for over a decade.

There was a time when Warhammer Fantasy existed on a feudal planet in 40k. There was also a lore piece that said that the 40k universe existed in a bottle on some wizard's shelf in the Old World.
Both of these were true.
