Speaking of migrating
Who is everyone's favorite great migrator?
I was busy for a little bit, but after the last thread I want to play as a migrating faction, settle in Syracuse and become Graeco-Roman Pagan.
Pic related is all the great migrators. Visigoths start at war with the WRE and it's very difficult to make the crossing to Syracuse without getting murdered by the Roman navy.
Vandals get ship bonuses and I hate ships.
Alans get a roster update in a couple days.
(I have no idea about any of the unit rosters)
That leaves Ostrogoths, Suebians and maybe Visigoths if I get good enough to sack my way through the East, down to Africa and over the sea to Syracuse.
Who should I play as? I'm incapable of making decisions on my own
> Tomb Kings still not announced
>>124663103

>>124663103
Visigoths for Based King Alaric
>>124663057
I edited this into the main theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R8viSgLTVM
and added this into the Crusader States and Teutonic Order music list.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rgmPjYVwOM
Assuming you have Stainless Steel mod.
>>124663103
Visigoths start at war with the ERE, but neutral with the WRE, I believe. That's how it was in my last Visigoths game, anyway.
Anyway, my favorite is probably the Visigoths, but if you want to settle in Syracuse and the rest of Italty, you should go with Ostrogoths. They can recruit Roman units, don't suffer a penalty for occupying Roman towns, and it satisfies my history autism.
>>124663165
Everyday until announced?
I probably should've mentioned this again, but the reason I want to Syracuse so badly is that Etna gives a bonus to Roman paganism that I want
>>124663191
Suebians seem like the easy way since they are friends with everyone
Can you tell me anything about their roster and what their strengths are?
>>124663250
King Alaric iscute
I'm considering to play as Visigoths, I like their win condition settlements.
But I have dark memories of trying to take boats to Rome to sack it early on, and getting my fleet sunk by Roman navy.
What would be the best way to get to Syracuse? I can't go around the right because Constantinople is in the way and I'm bad at video games
>>124663885
I was being stupid and you are right, I didn't look thoroughly enough and confused red ERE flags with WRE flags.
Visigoths are neutral with Western and at war with the Eastern Roman empire.
What I also forgot/didn't look up is that the Ostrogoths are apparently at war with the WRE (not with the ERE), so I'm not too sure how to get to Syracuse from there.
Ostrogoths probably have the most useful faction trait
>>124663103
>Visigoths: The Move-ie
>by Dreamworks
u r pretty cute, wanna be Greek together
>>124664838
What you could do as the Ostrogoths is go through ERE lands quickly, heading into Greece and then going by boat around Italy to land next to Syracuse. Going Ostrogoths is even more perfect because you can claim to be reviving the true Pagan Roman Empire.
>>124663103
play the invisigoths
romans cant kill what they cant see
I'm never going to kill these fuckers am i?
> removed rhodes

> so i march an army down from pella to do it, and now they send their second agent to road block my second army
I'm about to build a third stack just to wipe them out, i have more armies then those motherfuckers have agents
>>124663103
Vandals are pretty good, their +150% from raiding/sacking is INSANE
Looting one major coastal city gives you easy dosh that can jumpstart/help your economy, and you can loot the city again a couple turns later after they rebuild
>tfw EB2
>tfw no qt Roman girl that will bear you true sons of Mars and daughters of Venus to bring glory to Rome.
>>124665203
just use agents
Will we ever get a full Reconquista campaign or is the current political climate prevent that?
>>124665846
>or is the current political climate prevent that
No
>>124665190
Going that route is probably my best shot.
One thing that bothers me about Ostrogoths is the provinces the game wants to to conquer for win conditions (they are around the ocean on the right side of Italy), there are no nice borders that I can easily fortify against the Hunnic menace and the Greeks
The Iberian peninsula has an unpleasent shape, but at least there are clear borders once you conquered it all
>>124664942
>wanna be Greek togetherI'm not sure what you mean anon haha ;)
>>124665262
Do you think Vandals are still good if I ignore their boats?
I dislike naval combat
>>124665196
What are best Invisigoth units?
>>124665846
Charlemagne already is kind of Reconquista since you can go reconquer Christian soil from the infidels
As far as I know there is no short and closely defined time period for Reconquista (google says 718 to 1492) so I'm not sure if there would be a point to making a campaign specifically about that area when Charlemagne kind of serves the same purpose
>>124665567
>he doesn't want an elven waifu to love and adore
>he wants to remain a filthy barbarian who shits on concrete, instead of shitting in comfy outhouses and wiping with nice and soft leaves, more delicate than even modern tissue paper.
That's fucking hilarious anon.
>>124667013
>What are best Invisigoth units?
Naked warriors, lack of clothes ensures the only things visible are just floating swords
>>124667281
scholars say they might still be among us
>>124667013
Yeah you can ignore their ships, although i gotta say their T3 melee ships are tiptop OP
That said, the vandal unit roster is one of the best in the game. Really good infantry and great cavalry with the noble alani cav.
>>124667013
You could ignore those provinces until you kill off the Huns. Once they are gone, you should be the dominant power with your Gothic, Germanic, and Roman units. Then you can sweep across the world, get those victory conditions, and recreate a Pagan Roman Empire.
>not purging the infidels
>tfw EB2
quick which norse faction do I play
>>124668135
Danes if you like ships and Geats if you like stronk nordic winter.
So what faction bonuses do you think each faction will get in TW;WH?
>>124669125
It's less faction bonuses and more factions being different from each other e.g. corruption, book of grudges, that AI whaag army and so on
>>124669125
Greenskins are definitely getting something to increase the money they get from razing and sacking.
I'm really hoping that the Empire has the ability to recruit unique units from conquered people. I'm just really hoping the other human lands have some of their iconic shit, like Hochland long rifles.
So what is everyone's Vampire Counts music to get pumped for the inevitable first look?

But Anon...you are the infedel,Praise Allah.
>>124691025
Rome 2 has the slowest vanilla combat after M2, and they mostly eliminated dueling, which you can mod out entirely if it really bothers you.
Holy fuck Shogun 2 is such a polished game and the models look so damn good. Fuck this is a good game, only problem is the fucking food cost of castles, top tier farms need to produce more food.
>>124691426
Why bother upgrading your castles at all? Just sally out and fight a field battle you dishonorbu gaijin.
>>124691638
To build more buildings. I really hate the building limit in the newer total war games.
>>124691426
Its only a problem if you upgrade every castle for some reason
You only upgrade your unit producing provinces

>>124692368
>having to send units back to be retrained
>your capital is the only town you can train those units
>mfw
I think Empire had the best replenishment.
2 Days before we subject the pagans to Christian rule goys.
>>124692368
The upside of the old system was that you could retain units to give them gold equipment.
>>124694307
This. It sucks that in Shogun 2 I can't retrain my units in provinces with better weapon and armour upgrades.
>>124694554
I don't understand why they removed this. Is it some coding bs that conflicts with replenishment?
>consider picking takeda
>music starts playing in my head

I watched this lindebeige fellow and he explained that ancient/medieval warfare actual battles were a fair rarity, and that sieges were the way wars were lost/won
Having played total war for years and thinking about it, that sort of makes sense
Then I went and read an entry level book called "Medieval Sieges" quite informative and seemed to back his claims fairly well
Any of you guys historyfags? Any discrepancies I should know?
>>124694658
No idea. I'm kinda upset they got rid of armour upgrades changing unit appearance too.
>>124695050
For one Lindybeige is not a historian, but a man on youtube that likes to talk about history.
>>124695163
I didn't think he was accredited or anything, but like I said I read some source material that told the same story
>>124695050
But sun tzu said sieges were a last resort
What that guy said is pretty untrue
90% the famous battles in antiquity to middle ages were field battles
>>124665567
These guys look ready to fuck some shit up
>>124695365
Because they were big and bloody.
Sun Tzu also said that defeating an enemy without fighting is the true art of war.
Yet people in the Middle Ages were:
1. Mostly retarded with no skill in war
2. Mostly peasants led by retarded nobles
3. Very stupid.

Are the History people angry that CA is making the next TW a fantasy game?
>>124695365
Chinese sieges were very different to European ones. In china castles weren't a huge thing, but every city that was worthy of putting on a map had bigass walls of rammed earth and stone.
I remember there was a Song-Jin siege where the Song troops held out and eventually turned to cannibalism to survive while the Song Imperial Court sat on its thumbs like a kek.
Conscripted soldier: I didn't think it would end this way.
Veteran soldier: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
Conscripted soldier: What? Tuldrix? See what?
Veteran soldier: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Conscripted soldier: Well, that isn't so bad.
Veteran soldier: No. No, it isn't.

>>124695507
Exactly once your field army is dead, your empire is doomed
You could argue most battles are sieges, becausw it takes only a few decisive victories in the field to cripple an empire

>>124695817
Wrong.
2 different teams.
Fantasy team is working on the Warhammer game and 2 standalone expansions that seamlessly join the main game if installed together along with DLC making it the largest most detailed world they've created. Games Worskhop are heavily involved in the process so expect a lot of expensive DLC's on par with Paradox Jewry.
History team is continuing with Attila and supporting Rome 2 with a new DLC pack and Patch. Probably early stages in their next full game aswell. Hopefully on a better engine.

The corruption thing sounds interesting. Will it be like culture or religion in other games? Will it be a cost thing to reverse, like razing a settlement?
>>124692646
I fucking love this desu. It adds a strategic/logistical challenge to the campaign.
Altough in vainilla Rome it could get really frustating as men died like flies, but in mods like EB this wasn't that much of a problem. In my ongoing romani campaign I always have a reserve legion (consisting of 1 unit of each velite/hastati/prĆncipe/triarii and socii) to send to a battle front every year in order to substitute the wearied fighting legion.

Yea the current replenishment system is pretty broken like op broken.
On its own a unit should replenish like 1-2%. In a province with the correct building it should be 5-10%. No more than 10%for the highest.tiers

Elves are a shoe in, but I am not sure how their expansion could be. Wood elves will be a separate DLC/FLC since they are already in the current map's territory.
At first I was skeptical of Araby being added but it would be weird to have the New World pack with just High elves, Dark elves, and lizardmen. The only other factions in that area would be some chaos waste guys like the Hung?

All I've been able to find so far on the brimstone gun is "18",D3 Shots S5, Flaming, Quick to fire, Armor piercing, Dwarf Crafted", and "I like both, although I am digging the Idea that the Brimstone guny makes people think twice if they really want to attack our Gyro with their chaff. Light Cavalry, Skirmishers, flying Skirmishers, all of them are in danger of being shot down or forced to Panic due to Stand and Shot." and " as I'm thinking the Gyros are a great unit for chaff control and redirection/flank protection, I'm leaning towards the Brimstone gun.". Chaff is "Small units that have very little combat ability and are generally included in a list just to get in the way of opposing units and die. Typically used to block movement or force overruns in unfavourable directions. Ideally very cheap in points cost and the more maneuverable the better."
So I'd think Brimstone gun is a machine gun.
>>124704434
Huh, so the steam gun sounds like works for focusing shit like giants, while the brimstone gun has more scattered fire that fucks meat shields.
where are there no elephant mounted segmentata praetorian archer cataphracts in R2
>>124704547
> The main armament of a gyrocopter is a steam gun. When the valve is released, a blast of super-heated steam from the engine blasts out of the barrel with a hissing scream.
From the total war page. Not clear if the blast is flame-thrower esque or more just a single big whollop.
>>124704547
It's the opposite, the gyrocopter video CA put out said that the steam gun is for tight clusters of units, whereas the brimstone gun is for larger and stronger guys.

You really think so?
It might just be me but I just don't feel like LotR lends itself very well as the setting of a Total war
They tried to get the license and Tolkien wouldn't sell
Good.
>>124705036
Same. It would be pretty boring. WH world is 10 times more interesting.
STREAM WHEN
>>124705086
I don't think Warhammer is a better setting in any way, but it's much better suited for a video game
Warhammer and Total War fit very well together
>>124702918
Are there Sub Saharan africans in WH?
would be cool to have Zulus or somehting
>>124704285
gameplay reasons, they said they don't want dwarves to have magic of any kind.

Is it possible in the latest Total Wars to set saved camera positions on the battle map, so that you can quickly snap to a view or position with a press of a button?
I'm sure it is but i cant see how at all.
>>124705162
>>124705086

no it would be goat.
the LOTR mod for Medieval 2 already proves it
The Oliphaunts would be so cool.

Are there elephant tier units in warhammer?
>>124705482
>the LOTR mod for Medieval 2 already proves it
It really doesn't
Going to take a guess as to which units will be omitted from Dark Elves
- Anything with tits
- Anything to do with cult of pleasure
Goodbye Witch elves I guess
>>124705482
>med 2 mod
Compare the LotR mod with the Warhammer mod
Warhammer was developed to be a table top wargame. It has much more variety in races and has a magic system that is much more fleshed out and armies that are much more unique and easier to translate into a game.
I like LotR, but I don't think it could ever make as good of a TW setting as Warhammer can.
>>124705250
come on. it would be cool with some supercharged Impis
what's that one mod for FotS that's supposed to be good
>>124705546
>It really doesn't
it really does. not really anything more to say there. it literally does.
>>124705648
I disagree
>>124704763
>>124704434
>>124704547
>they don't play tabletop
Jesus christ the steam gun is for low damage but maximum spread and the brimstone gun is for killing one or two heavily armoured units at a time. The trollhammer torpedo is also for killing high armoured tough monsters like trolls or chosen.
>>124703559
There will be orc/goblin dlc for Eltharion who is now just an orc genocider instead of magic blind swordsman
>>124705702
>Summoning Teethman
>>124705763
You are wrong.

this.
Altough it would be interesting to see what characteristics they'd add to a LOTR total war
>>124705482
>are there oliphaunt tier units in warhammer
watch the trailers there's giant spiders with howdahs strapped on in three fucking trailers. whats so hard about going on gw website and scrolling through the army lists?
>>124705869
we'll agree to disagree
>>124706001
I've seen the spiders anon they're had to miss.
let's see if you can read this time
Are There Elephant Tier Units In Warhammer?
yes or no is much quicker than me scrolling through army lists
>>124705775
Why did you reply to me? You just repeated what I said.
>>124705763
>>124705869
>>124705546
Great discussion guys, making sure /twg/ stays high quality
>>124706162
The spiders are elephant tier. Does it need to be a literal elephant to please you?
>>124706162
Yes, like the arachnarok spiders who are massive. They're admitedly not quite Oliphant-tier, the Lizardmen do however have very large dinosaurs they ride on,as well as some factions being able to field Dragons as mounts for their leaders.
Were they lying when they said there would be a stream today?
>>124706352
>Does it need to be a literal elephant
well yes I demand tusks. I don't givee a shit about weak squishy spiders
I want muh Oliphaunts
>>124706387
>the Lizardmen do however have very large dinosaurs they ride on
ok now we're talking. that sounds really cool
>>124706490
Then you should have specified that you were an elephant enthusiast. I figured you were referring to units that fill the role of war elephant.
>>124706490
"Elephant tier" doesn't mean "literally elephants"
>>124706490
Chaos dudes can have mammoths too, but I don't know if that is going to be in the game ever.
>>124706162
>yes or no much quicker than scrollign through army lists
well fuck you too. No there aren't giant elephants in warhammer fantasy but there are monsters that are ridden and are larger than oliphaunts.
>>124706490
> I don't givee a shit about weak squishy spiders
>squishy spiders
Spiders have natural body armor in their chitinous exo-skeleton. A Spider that size would be much better naturally armored than a Mumakil
>>124705176
Yes. But we know very little about them.
>>124706490
Oh right, and Ogres ride giant ass Mammoths that breath ice. Ogres are in general elephant tier themselves though.
>>124706605
>I figured you were referring to units that fill the role of war elephant
oh sorry about that
>>124706742
>Chaos dudes can have mammoths too
FUCK YES. Too bad they're forcing us to pay for cut content Chaos...don't really know what to do there
>>124706749
other anons gave several examples of elephant like units. Mamoths, dinosaurs etcI-I'm afraid of spiders
Faction reveal stream is starting soon
I would also like to remind everyone that the leak is false and that, as I predicted, Sicily will be a playable faction.
>>124705260
Just like in tabletop.
>>124706912
one canon ball will pierce the exoskeleton and hit the squishy inside, no bones to stop it. a spider would die instantly. They're shit tier
>>124706921
now we're fukcing talking. Mamoths are ust hairy super sized eles
>>124705630
>Slaanesh demons will be cut
Don't fucking do this to me CA.
>>124704194
I do hope we'll get quests to strike out grudges in the book
>>124706490
Ogres have carnivorous mammoths.
>giant Hun fleet aproaches my capital
>they accept a peace treaty
god bless
>>124707181
Slaanesh hero is already confirmed, so there might be slut demons
>>124707076
Ogres are one of the least popular factiosn though so you won't see it until 3rd game msot likely
>>124707076
Elephant bones won't stop cannons either. Actually a thick exoskeleton would be much harder to pierce.
>>124707193
That's how it works.
>>124707310
this shit keeps getting better and better
>>124707397
yeah I expect as much. won't even be surprised if ogres aren't even playable at all from what I've heard. But maybe weƤll get Ogre mamoth mercs?
>>124707427
Elephants can be armored though. Stupid goblins don't armor their shitty spiders
>>124707582
post that carnivorous dinosaur the leader rides on
Total war Twitch time!
>>124707076
>one canon ball will pierce the exoskeleton and hit the squishy inside, no bones to stop it. a spider would die instantly. They're shit tier
One cannonball that pierces the exoskeleton won't kill a spider, the only way that would kill it is if it completely destroys a vital internal organ that lacks a replacement that can be put into overdrive.
You hit the joint of a spiders leg and you throw it out of balance,but it will still hobble around and kill shit.
You break an elephant's leg bones, especially one that size, and you incapacitate it. You hit it in the side and the blunt force trauma can still break bones, and size elephants completely rely on and internal bone structure to work, you completely fuck them over.

That's the Alans faction trait.
Does that mean Alans will get a new faction trait in the roster update?
They are not in the same campaign but same trait is boring to be quite honest family
>>124708160
Feel like that trait should be for all horse fuckers, and Alans should get something else.
>>124708220
Horse fuckers are strong enough as is, please no
Even assuming Azhag has a pretty limited roster of spells these buffs look brutal for cavalry/ monstrous engagements
>>124708160
Why would they change the Alan factions trait?
It's a super good horsefucker trait, and Alans are even more horsefuckery now, after their rework.
>>124708160
Probably not. The Lombards have the same exact trait as the Sassanids aswell
