How's your WAAAAAGGH going, /twg/?
Is AoC worth getting or should I wait for sale?
Also I heard about a game breaking campaign bug?
>>143576620
Crooked Moon Goblin only faction when.
Ahh... /twg/SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS
Which is the best empire wizard?
SUMMON THE ELECTED CUNTS!
I know matched combat animations have been removed, but are there still kill scenes, aside from the few I've seen Lords do on large units?
Anyone have any whether it killmoves?
>>143576927
Have only seen this one.
I AM PRINCEAND EMPEROR
Why is Grimgor so insistent that people say his name?
>>143577010
Same. I was hoping there would be a few more at least. Oh well.

Why are the warriors of chaos such massive cowards?!
Is there a solid way to quickly heal Kholek when I'm playing as Chaos? He took a ton of damage in my last fight and it says it'll take 9 turns of sitting here encamped to fully heal him.

KARL FRANZ x EMANUELLE WHEN?
>>143576852
They all have some nice stuff. Bright wizards are somewha weaker because damage spells are currenly UP when playing at large or ultra unit sizes.
Celestials and Light wiards both have some great buffs and hexes though, though Light wizards need to get a fair few levels before they really get good. Then they're crazy however - Pha's protection, timewarp, makign units unbreakable and snaring enemy units are all really good when you use them well. Nothing funnier than stopping a big cavalry charge dead in its tracks right before it hits your lines by throwing Net of Amtyok on the lead unit.
Anyone think they will be lazy with blood and gore?
Humans and dwarfs obviously have red blood but do you think they will make skeletons bleed? What color blood do orcs and chaos warriors have?
no army painter bit of a fuck up
Best battle I've had so far. Those Dwarfs have earned a round of ale.
>>143577287
Red for Orcs and Chaos Warriors.
Holy shit Kholek does a lot of damage, well thats all the major combat lords, Only Kholek Suneater and Mannfred on an undead dragon manage to beat Grimgor. Archaon did by far the least damage of all the lords
How do I deal with cavalry as dwarf?
>>143577534
my kholek has a weapon damage of 850 when i buff him
>tfw Altdorf is in ruins
I DO NOT CONSENT
Why does Karl say this
>>143577704
Strong norscan women tries to rape him.
What were they thinking with these sieges? They're even easier to exploit now.
So, the Fren- err, the Bretons conquered Helmgast from the Empire Secessionist. What do I do?
Any ETA on the minor faction mod?
>>143577189
When Emanuelle can keep away from the workshop for more than one day straight.
What building do you need to produce beer so I can get the produce x amount if beers a turn as dwarves?

What do you guys think of these mods?
>>143578372
Not even Chaos Wastes just north empire and Kislev.
>>143576695
I enjoyed one campaign of it. Not enough to keep my interested in playing a second time, or even a different faction.
I'd suggest waiting for a sale if you can. You're not missing out on anything.
Don't know about any bug.
What do orcs call other races?
I know:
stunties = dwarfs
humies = humans
gobbos = goblins
but nothing beyond that
>>143578519
Makes sense for the empire to have those, for the rest it kinda looks silly
>playing against mortars as vampire counts
Charge order my skellies, close my eyes and only open them when I start hearing close combat sounds
Can you replace the regular Empires swordsman with greatswords? Idk how much the shields actually do against enemy missiles if the unit has decent armor.
>>143578519
They are good, though I don't like the vampire counts one. The lord resize mod is a must for this one.
Does anyone have the link to the mega folder with a bunch of warhammer literature that was floating around? I want to read these gotrek and Felix books everyone goes on about. Aside from those what are some other worthwhile warhammer fantasy books? I've only ever read 40k stuff and those can be extremely hit or miss in terms of quality.
>>143578797
I can't wait to have these badboys in game and be total shit like all the other monsters which look impressive and barely kill more than a unit of regular missiles.

Feelsbadman
I have done a greatdishonor to other Orks by making friends with the enemy
On the bright side, I kinda feel like they are Rome and I'm the Gauls but kinda with reverse power levels.
post the rarest achievements you've got so far
>>143577572
Longbeards, quarrelers, and your choice of a couple arty are all I used in my campaign.
Many of the units have charge resistance, so check that. I know longbeards do. Bring 8 or so quarrelers and you will wreck most of the cav you face. 90% of the time the cav comes around your flank, so park 4 or so on each side, angled sideways compared to your front-line, with some infantry support. Cav will have a tough time hurting your infantry enough before dying.
Then your quarrelers can wreck whatever monstrous units have arrived.
>>143578797
Slaves to Darkness and The Lost and the Damned are great fluff books.
GOTREK & FELIX DLC WHEN
>>143579101
It just looks bad. I know they are easily replaceable.
>>143578519
>Necromancers leading units into combat
The whole point of becoming a Necromancer is to try and cheat death and become immortal, plus they're all physically frail old men, they're not going to be leading their meatless shields into battle, pic related is their whole deal.
Other than that, it's fine.
WHY DOES HE WANT TO SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS??
So all of the "fantasy" units are junk right? Multiplayer will just boil down to good ol hammer and anvil with heavy cav and heavy infantry?

Win 5 ambush battles during a single campaign is the third rarest apparently.
I'm sure I won four during my Orc campaign, if I'd known there was an achievement I might have gone looking for another one.

Get something that can read ebooks. Most ebooks that aren't PDFs are MOBI or EPUB, which all ebook readers can open.
I personally use Calibre, but that might be a bit bloated if you just want something to read them with since it has a lot of other functions.
>modesty mods are released before lewd mods
I didn't know Warhammer was a game played by Christians. Then again...
>>143580232
Raiding your own territories to farm rebellions is useful for this too.
i used to play empire total war back in my days, is napoleon an improvement of this? or should i stay with empire?
But why
1) Why are the load times so absurdly long?
2) Should I let my archers fire from behind my melee line or do I only kill my guys?
I actually thought being in the underway would prevent your units from being seen. Guess I was found out.
Goodbye you two stacks, nice knowing you.
>>143579350
Uniting Empire is peace way is the best and only way, that would true emperor would do
>>143580420
>2016
>not owning an SSD
load times are fine here famulum
>>143580420
>1) Why are the load times so absurdly long?
Because you have a shit PC.
>>143580420
1) Do you have an SSD?
2) You're killing your own guys if you're firing into combat, but it's safe to fire arrows or bolts over it into something on the other side.
>>143580475
>fighting in a narrow passage as dwarfs
>afraid of anything
Bruh. Git gud.

Wreck him, chaos are cowards and being in the underway gives him no room to run.

It's a smaller, more focused and infinitely more polished version of Empire.
Does anyone have an extra copy they don't want?
>>143580604
>>143580614
I kinda don't have an awul lot of armor piercing in these armies.

>>143580614
Those Hell Cannons are going to fuck him up.
>>143580273
I've found that the best way to play VC is to go very carefully and basically turtle for the first 50 turns or so, only attacking when you've got a weak, isolated target. Messing with the various minor Orc factions gives you some decent reputation with the Empire and Dwarfs, and you can usually get a NAP and maybe a trade deal with them eventually. After that keep turtling when Chaos decides to pop up, usually they'll go after the empire and won't bother you too much, so just ignore them even if they enter your land. Don't attack them unless they're really weak, and only fight defensive siege battles if you can help it. Empire and Chaos will cripple the fuck out of eachother and Chaos will leave many ruins behind, so once the war starts winding down (you may have to actually kill the last few Chaos guys yourself if Empire doesn't do it) you can peacefully colonise all the ruins and get ridiculous income, before thurning taht income into a real war machine and start wrecking some serious shit.
>>143580660
Yeah man sent it to you np
>>143579130
Goddamn. That is a nice looking unit. I really wish knights could dismount in this.
By the way, does using a mod disable steam achievements?
>>143580420
Having a standard HD, the only long load time is the initial campaign load.
Friendly fire is massively toned down from previous games. Missile units will hold fire if obstructed. I always keep them behind my lines.
>>143580952
;_; I'm desperate.
>>143581015
>Missile units will hold fire if obstructed.
wait what? this is amazing.
>>143581125

>>143581010

Dismounted reiksguard got modded in, I'm guessing it won't take long to get dismounted knights when bretonnia comes out
>>143581304
yes
What's the best faction for cavalry?
I just want to smash into units
I have a 20 stack with Karl Franz and I went to the seccessionists and they are garrisoned with a full stack & garrison and the bar is way out of my favor
What did I do wrong? I recruited swordsmen for my main line, spears with shield for cav and flank protection, and 4 crossbowmen total
I still have the one reiksguard it fucking destroys things
>>143581435
Empire.
>>143581435
Vampires i guess
>>143581435
I think demigryph knights are the absolute best cav, but VC cav is nothing to scoff at either
>tfw /twg/ died on Tuesday
never 4get luca, portguesebro, niggatron, gook, feelsguy and the other recognizeable anons
rip /twg/, fuck Warhammer
>Cav charge with dragon ogre support
is there a better feeling
>>143581435
Empire, Chaos and VC
VC might take it since their units tar pit really well, and their cav is top teir. It also means you can field more cav since your infantry is cheap.
Empire cav is expensive, and you focus on crossbows more.
Chaos is the same, cav is expensive and so are your standard units.
>>143581579
oh no your epic racist history posts have all gone
>>143581518
>20 stack
>for the secessionists
u wot
You build 3 units on your way to their city, then take it the next. Protip: Your Reiksguard wins you every single battle in the early game.
hey, anyone want to get a vs MP campaign going? It's the only way I find the game challenging.
>>143581579
we are still here, just playing another total war game.
>>143580728

Skaeling fucking shits!
Anyone running TW:W on a 7850?
Aww yiss
>>143581830
this annoyed me too playing as the orcs, chaos completely ignored the empire and beelined for the badlands. Luckily my sneaky gobbos saw it in time for grimgor and azhag to mount a huge waagh defence in blackfire pass
>>143581719
CHAOS DWARFS WHEN
>>143581435
I think what puts empire over the top is the outriders and pistoliers in addition to having great access to standard shock cavalry.
I think Brets could be competitive for that especially when the DLC comes in, when combined with mass peasant bows.
>>143581923
Manfred was a little upset I looked at his waifu's panties
>>143581197
I'm not pretty enough for that.
ive seen videos where people make an army charge at the unit infront of them, instead of clicking on each unit and shit. how do you do that?:3
>>143581579
They all was cancer especially good
>>143582065
First expansion. Tomb Keks, Chaos Dwarves, Skaven and Wood Elves galore.

>>143582163
CTRL + G the units you wanna group and just attack the enemy
>>143582065
I'd be surprised if CD wasn't the very last faction they add.
>>143582302
Nah woodies are probably DLC, skaven needs to be added along lizardmen to give lizards something to fight
waiting in /twg/ steamchat for someone to play a VS campaign with me, come on in
>>143581883
That card seems to be considerably worse than my 760. For reference, I can play on a mix of medium/high with no AA, large unit sizes (which seem to be the new normal unit size), and optional shit like ssao turned off.
I imagine you could play on low.
Just basing this off having googled your card.
So what's Beastmen's gimmick? No artilley, no range and the only cavalry is centaurs?
What's their magic lore?

>consider buying Attila because I need something to play
>there's £50 worth of DLC
Yeah no I'll wait for the Gold Edition.
>>143582664
their gimmick is they can hide/ambush or some shit
they were always the worst tabletop faction
>>143582664
CA has been pretty faithful to the rosters seen in army books, as well as the lores, at least categorically and nominally. Take at a look at their last army book.
>>143582664
lore of life I suppose.
Okay so from a lore perspective what exactly are dragon ogres? And on that point what's the difference between a dragon ogre and a shaggoth?
Not so fast, Grimgor
>>143582803
for that reason they'd probably get a lot of vanguard stuff. I think if they were iterated one could expect something like the chaos faction except with more ambushing marauder type units and monsters.
it could also be that they just get added to chaos. Dragon ogres did.

>>143582961
that depends what your gripes were, and also if you played the game to its fullest extent by doing multiplayer VS 8)
it's getting good reception, though imo reviewers of the TW games are shit who only play sp briefly.
Like how a lot of them say that you can't get many stacks. Empire turn 80 I had like 8 stacks and a ton of forts.
>>143582764
Attila is pretty brutal desu lad
I find it more frustrating than anything
What the hell does the Curse of Undeath do?
>>143583081
I got the hilarious map where the opponent has the most insane uphill to my defensive line too
Crack when?
Man multiplayer is too easy :/
Man is public order retarded, even though i have 2 public order buildings in every province and the fact that chaos started on turn 34 isn't helping
>>143583252
play the mp campaign, they stopped doing serious MP battle matching for a reason>
Plus, sega own relic now and MP ladder is very much their thing.
WHAT. THE. FUG.
to add insult to injury that bret lord has a trait "defensive"
>>143582664
They've got the generic lore of beasts (which some other factions can use) as well as their own lore of magic called the lore of the wild. It's got some pretty cool spells, one of them causes enemy cavalry units to get attacked by their own mounts.
>>143583239
>Denuvo
>crack
Anon was asking in the last thread about spears without shields. Reason for not using shields was because they found out the hard way that they do fuck all against orks and beastmen most of the time. If I recall at blackfire pass the border princes of the time were the only ones to manage to hold the line the whole time because they used their spears like Pike's, finally getting pushed back when they gutted a troll and one of them hit a vein spraying it's acidic blood over their line. It's why many elite units ditched them in favor of either long range weapons or heavy crushing weapons that didn't require precise blows due to the tremendous strength if their opponents. It takes awhile to bleed to death where as no amount of willpower would make shattered bones and torn muscles move and its easy for multiple people to pin a giant in place with pikes and slice it up with short swords.
>>143583350
for campaign do you just autoresolve all the battles without players?
What are the most intensive video options aside from lighting and SSAO?
Don't want to listen to my GPU scream like a banshee anymore.
>>143583392
>one of them causes enemy cavalry units to get attacked by their own mounts.
That would be hilarious to see in action.
>>143582898
Dragon ogres are a group of monsters that live in the north and eat lighting, they sold their souls to Chaos to protect against it, and as they age they grow larger and larger.
Shaggoths are basically just their adult form, while the normal dragon ogres are like teenagers.
>>143583140
I'm interested in the period but I have a serious problem with DLC where I have to buy it. Generally I can hold out for a sale but I have to have the complete game. I don't want to know how much I've given Paradox.

You have to enable out of date mods for it to work.
>>143583660
Shadows and foliage tend to take their toll, and they're not that noticeable if you turn them off so it's a good option.
>>143576320
Ignoring age of shitmar why did they ruin brettonia making them dark and edgy. I liked it when they were total bros and disliked military technology for being cowardly rather than evil magic and their knights were all heroes and the grail knights had to be completely pure of heart and compassion, slogging it on foot through the mud with the peasants and said peasants enjoying a very comfortable and safe lifestyle with actual rulers who cared about their well-being.
>cant rename characters in coop
Why
How the fuck do you deal with Cavalry as Dwarves?
Every single Orc army has 4+ cavalry units and gameplay is basically just How To Get Outflanked and Cycle Charged: An Instructional Video while a few units of short legged Longbeards try frantically to catch up to Boars/Wolves that can withdraw at their leisure.
And don't tell me to shoot them down before they hit, that doesn't fucking work. They're too fast, too many, and guns don't do enough damage
>>143583621
What do you mean?
If you mean mp campaign, then the great thing about it is that the other players can step in for the ai to prevent player/auto exploits or what have you. But just generally provide real challenging battles.
>>143583392
>causes enemy cavalry units to get attacked by their own mounts

>>143583920
It probably had desync issues or something else silly.
>>143583954

The quotes on the loading screens are so cringeworthy, especially out of context.
It's really jarring compared to the stuff we got in Attila and Rome II. Those added surprisingly much to the feel of the game, while I just want to forget about the shitty wannabe-badass Warhammer quotes.
>>143583972
oh I didn't know they could step in, that's cool.

"the play as the ai" option for battles in vs is the single and only way the total war series can get around the ai always being shitty. Which is why I only play vs MP campaigns, and am trolling the twg steam chat right now trying to get another one going.

Have you tried squares? Squares are cool.

Also, I'm really disappointed about the lack of minor settlement maps. Those were some of my favorite battles in Attila, and Warhammer solved the tedium problem by making them almost always easy to autoresolve as long as you have a proper army of your own. I just wish I could fight battles when I wanted in cozy Imperial hamlets.
>>143583954
Come on, shoot faster!
>>143584148
They are embedded in archer units and launch out when they are attacked.
>>143584297
Squares are awesome if you like one side of your formation getting crushed by a million greenskins
>>143582302
How the fuck would that work standalone.
Aren't Chaos Dwarfs just Dwarfs with pointy hats? Why would they be a faction?
>>143581579
>TW:W revitalizes a dying IP
>TW:W kills tripfags
Is there anything this game can't do?
>>143584527
Chaos Dwarfs are just Dwarfs in the same sense that Chaos Marauders are just Humans.
>>143582302
>Wood Elves
>Not Ogres
Get out manlet.
>>143584567
get me a gf
>>143584058
they're all pulled from the literature, which actually gives 40k a run for its money in absolute taking itself too seriously when it comes to trying to be badass
just try reading a WHFB book, the lore is the only cool part because everyone acts like a oneliner machine whilst being totally serious
Is anyone else completely convinced at this point CA fucked up agents really hard? I swear my agents always critically fail despite there only being a 10% chance, while the enemy always succeeds in their agent's actions regardless of their level or percentage chance.
>>143584527
Chaos Dwarfs are Dwarfs with horrifying infernal war-machines and Orc slaves.
Can anyone gift this to me?
>>143584691
Oh fuck, Ogre Kingdoms will be the tightest shit ever.
>>143584717
I always saw 40k as pretty satirical.
Enemy agents must have a 90% assassinate chance. Shit is unreal how often they succeed.
>>143583954
If I go up against an Ork army I just deploy towards the very back of the field in a corner, set up ranks of ranged units and artillery. They can't flank since you're against the bounds of the map which forces the fuckers to basically charge at you and get shot to shit.
Yes it's a scrub way to beat the AI but I'm fucking sick of the Orks on my very hard campaign. If they're going to shit 3 stacks out every two turns, I'm going to play like a scrub.
The barbarians are introduced to modern warfare.
>>143582302
nah m8
first expansion:
Wood Elves
Skaven
Beastmen
>>143584805
it was supposed to be, in recent times it's become the exact thing it was striving to parody and under certain writers even worse
>>143584852
>Enemy agents must have a 90% assassinate chance. Shit is unreal how often they succeed.
There's a mod that disables hostile actions for enemy agents. I suggest uising that, it might count as a cheat but goddamn I get murdered almost every turn almost all the time.
>>143584517
>standalone
It basically means not having access to the core factions of the other expansions/base game. There will only ever be one big, ever-increasing map with all factions on it.
So you'll be able to conquer the Empire/Altdorf as Tomb Keks but unless you bought the base game you can't play as Empire in the Grand Campaign or multiplayer or skirmish.
>>143584726
My own agents seem to perform pretty much as the percentages would indicate, though it does seem like AI agents get some kind of hidden buff.
>>143584865
>They just keep coming
>>143584527
Slave armies and hellcannons
>>143584790
Post a picture of your tits first.
>>143584726
I agree with >>143585062
>>143585008
This is what I've been thinking for a while, too. There's tons of precedent - CKII and Dawn of War had similar systems for expansions.
I do, however, think they'll want each expansion to add contiguous territories, and I've been convinced that we'll see elves and Lustria first, despite formerly thinking we'd get the Southlands and the east first.
>>143585062
Pretty certain they get a buff on highger difficulties. I play VH with Normal battles and enemy agents kill me all the time.
>>143585085
>Finally they break, and the artillery runs out of ammo as it pounds their retreat
>>143585006
Yeah I'll probably use that.
I'm getting sick of seeing 5-6 popups at the start of each turn.
>ENEMY AGENT SUCCESS
then I need to buy more fucking Lords.
There needs to be some kind of cutoff point for it. I've literally had a level 28 Lord assassinated by a level 2 agent. Shit like that should never happen.
>>143582803
>>143582947
Think of the one celt army in attila that could have full army ambush deployment.
and yeah that's how i picture beastmen.
>>143585216
I don't have tits.
>>143584717
>just try reading a WHFB book, the lore is the only cool part because everyone acts like a oneliner machine whilst being totally serious
Not Gotrek and Felix.
>>143585245
If they add Lustria they need to add Skaven.
Should I go for lightning battles on every general?
I'm definitely going to unlock all of Gelt's spells, but I can't decide on whether to go all-out on the battle buffs, or get campaign buffs until I unlock lightning battles.
>>143585337
Then you should either get a job and stop being a pathetic beggar, or just get it over with and kill yourself.
>>143585292
>A costly victory, but it should protect the empire for now
>>143585245
>Lustria
Would require naval combat. It and Edge Elves will be last.
>stick vampire on hellsteed
>this happens
what the fucking hell is happening? I she becoming a vargheist?
>20% FREE Damage resistance
Oh baby where have you been my entire life?
>>143584567
Revive tabletop Warhammer.
>>143585425
Not necessarily. CA said they were working on Skaven already and Lustria is likely to be added in the final expansion due to its geographical location. I can easily see CA adding a clan Pestilens pack after Lizardmen are added instead.
>>143585540
How come Azhag's eyes and crown dont glow with that green aura thing
So which are the best lords in the game?
>>143584527
Dawi zhar are a lot more hardcore than regular dawi.
THIS HILL VEXES ME
how would you position your units (the Chaos have no artillery in this battle)? does the AI tend to link with reinforcements or go down the center?
