Daily reminder Bretonnians have the best seige towers
VC or Chaos for my next campaign?
Which one stays challenging the longest and doesn't just turn into a steamroll after 60 turns?
Anyone using this mod?
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=691006940&searchtext=
I like everything it claims to do but would like a second onion
>>143607283
Chaos turns into a steamroll after 15 turns if you stack Growth skills. Do VC, it's a little bit better.
>>143607283
Chaos is challenging for awhile but not in a fun way
if > 50 franz
else gelt
IF OUR PRINCE IS TO BECOME EMPERORSUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS
you came to the wrong waaagh
>if you sack a settlement, the AI's broken income will just fix it so you can occupy it next turn
Neat
>last dwarf quest requires 2k trade income to progress
>everyone is either dead or hates me
well fuck
So Ungrim is the Slayer King. Dose that mean he's the most shameful dwarf of all?
Just started, this is my first Total War game, but god damn I love warhammer not to have got it.
Was going to do first play through as Dwarves on normal, VC on hard, then Empire or Orcs on Legend.
Are there any notable differences between the Lords, or is it mostly just a choice of "This guy is a melee badass, this guy is a supportive badass, this guy is a badass with a pointy hat"?
And any general advice? Still getting used to just the movement. Not used to having to move each unit individually to get the best out of them.
>>143607701
Dorfs have the worst quest requirements, like needing gyrocopters just for the first one
>>143607787
Go with the melee lord.
Magic is horrible right now.
>>143607787
don't go above hard difficulty, there's no point
>>143607787
Melee lords shit on magic lords.
HAMMER
&
ANVIL
Big bird was kinda disappointing. I was expecting a challenge and instead he went down in about 5 seconds flat, first enemy unit to die.
>>143607393
I can second this. Did Chaos for my first run, built growth, and then just ran around the map utterly decimating everything. Just stuck with Archaon and he became such a beast so quickly that nothing stood much in the way.
>>143607765
If I remember correctly his ancestor shamed himself, but was also a king so could not abandon his duty. And since said king has offspring, they inherited the throne and the shame.
>>143607701
I want to do the quests but I just can't afford the time to replenish troops afterwards and 5k with these fucking orc doomstacks on my ass
>Border princes went to war with the dorfs and are razing all their settlements and cucking their stacks
Thanks man gitz, we'll kill you a bit fasta'
Playing this game has rekindled my urge to open up my old fantasy armies and start collecting again.
Convince me not to...please...
>>143608048
The biggest mistake you can make as Chaos is bothering at all with Norsca, I did that for 50 turns and by the time I left the Human factions has loads of stacks
So good. And the fact that they got blasting charges makes them even better.
Iv been spamming quarrellers and these guys. Autowin
>tfw really want that green fart cloud from the vampire trailer back
>tfw somehow it felt cool to me
>>143607289
It's good. Make the fights last long enough to be enjoyable, but they don't drag on like in Radious. The only negative change, imo, is to zombies. They're just too fucking slow in this mod. Otherwise, yeah, would recommend.
>Managed to confederate red fangs before killing Gorfang
Neat, get to make him my bitch
> Tomb Kings still not announced
>>143608319
Did the same. Every army was 2 Organ Guns, 2 Cannons and the rest filled up with Ironbreakers and Quarrelers.
>>143608319
Too bad about the annoying building requirements holding them off for a long time
>>143608517
>>143608382
You're falling apart anon
>>143607227
JESUS CHRIST
How do I stop myself from putting everything in the usual melee front/missiles behind lineup?
I want to make use of the Empires Greatswords but it is so damn tedious to have them walk around the enemies which are engaging my swordsmen so I can rear charge.
At this point I might aswell use cav.
>>143604509
if you hold down RMB with shift you can drag/paint an actual path for the unit to follow. It's quite good.
Is the anon that made the wider firing arcs for missile troops and artillery still here? Or does anyone have the link to that mod?
Also is there any mod for Vamptits that removes the makeup without making her Sharia law compliant?

What do i do now, i already won the empire campaign.
So now that the dust is settled it's shit, right?
>>143608802
Nice, by the time Archaon was invading I had only united the north and southern counts
>>143608651
Deploy formations unbeknownst to mankind.
>>143608651
Replace Swordmen with Greatswords.
Charge with Greatswords.
Flank with cav.
Greatswords are literally gods in stats and effectiveness compared to normal swordsmen, you should have made this change ages ago.
>>143608278
>tfw I spent 100 turns just conquering the tribes
It almost wasn't worth it, given they basically all died without doing anything.
Almost.
There's already a mod to unlock all factions, now just to wait for mods to change their rosters.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=692261380
>>143608651
Greatswords don't need to flank to destroy the enemy.
>>143608825
>dwarf
>boring
I think you're boring.
>>143608950
>>143609090
I was concerned about having my elite troops being shot to shit by missiles sinces they dont have shields.
>>143609043
why the fuck does everybody stick in the north when even quests point you towards the southern areas
by staying in the north you literally fight against yourself and your potential allies, instead of fighting against actual enemies
Is Warhammer Total War worth picking up right now?
>>143609175
Well i'm sorry but before you get stuff like irondrakes and advanced artillery they're the most boring shit ever.
>>143607787
For very hard and above, always melee lords.
If you really like suffering, Gelt on legendary.
>>143608802
>literal rape train of legendary chaos lords marching down in perfect column
>thorgrim and grimgor have been marching alongside each other to be the first to drink from bird jugular
>thorgrim and grimgor have been marching alongside each other
anything can happen
I really wish they had an option to opt in or out of watching AI battles during the end turn. Even if I'm not fighting I don't want to miss grimgor and thorgrim setting aside their rivalry to tag team sigvald's boipussy
>>143609213
That's only a problem if you actually try to flank with them cause then they'll be shot in the back.
If you charge head on the enemy can't shoot them without friendly fire.
>>143609043
Seriouslly, whats the point in uniting the tribes? Just wastes time getting crappy allies while your true enemies sit back and grow.
>>143609213
70 armor is worth more than shielded.
>>143607507
>mfw won the empire short campaign but decided to keep going because there's only 4 vampire count settlements i need to take for the long one

i'll just try some other race for now
also is it just me or do the luminarks suck ass? rather just use mortar or something cheaper or steam tanks
Is there a specific hero that is the best at spreading Vampiric Corruption, or will any of them work?
>Send Ungrim all the way up into Sylvania to his first quest battle

so what other dlc are we getting before the next stand alone expansion?
Bretonnia and what else? Any ETA on when the next big expansion is coming? 30 hours in right now having a lot of fun but I since I don't play multiplayer I don't see more then 90~ hours of playtime
>>143609454
>>143609223
I did it for fun. You know, that thing you're suppose to have while playing Total War?
>>143609468
Luminark is straight broken right now because broken damage scaling
Just make steam tanks

>MFW 30 grand a sack as Chaos
>>143609530
Yes, I'm sure doing nothing for 100 turns in frozen wastelands while fighting against hordes of mounted skirmishers is very fun.
>>143608825
Grab a master engineer and some organ guns and cannons. Then press K and watch shit go flying.
If you could be any non hero, non leader unit from total warhammer, what would it be and why?
>>143609686
>veins
muh dick
How do I get started on the chaos campaign? Do I have to disband everything and make autoresolve stacks like Legend of Total War?
>>143609686
...
I want to play vampire counts just because this. I know fuck all how to play them though since my first (and only) campaign so far has been their complete opposite: dwarves.
Any tips for dealing or postponing Lord of Change as Chaos near / after Turn 105?
>>143609850
Terrorgheist
only because they look badass in game.
also has anyone noticed they don't do their bat scream CA showed off?
never seen em do the scream once
>>143609850
Nuln engineer
Just chill in Nuln figuring out new ways to blow up Skaven crawling around in the sewers
>>143607832
Kemmler needs a wight king for his first one, locked behind a damm tier V settlement
>>143610090
But you can get a lucky random event and get a Wight for free (like I did)
You can't get a random card of Gyros.
>>143609854
>>143609919
>>143610090
At least you can RNG a wight king with events
What do I invest my points in when playing Archaon?
>>143609850
Chaos Chosen
For that sick af armour
>>143610305
The horde growth skill as fast as possible
>>143607289
YOU CANT COOK SPAGHETTI WITH JUST ONE ONION
>>143610305
Horde growth, then his combat skills. He is an absolute beast when upgraded.
>>143609243
It's the best TW release yet, and it's a very fun game.
>>143610331
>Greatsword landsknecht comes up
>chops you in half while wearing 1/5 the armor and looking 10x classier
What are these skidrow torrents popping up? Did the game actually get cracked or what?
>>143610305
>Movement range
>Horde Growth per turn
>Fireball, Kindleflame
>24 more levels of Character skills to become god
>get the Skull, the Shroud, and Evasion.
You are now a fire-ball spouting fast lord with 900 weapon damage and are literally death incarnate.
If you don't go for the growth talents you can get 3 more points for either 3 more magic skills or can grab like 9 melee defense.
>>143610305
Horde growth
Then the whole campaign just becomes out waiting on Horde growth while sacking settlements.
Seriouslly, the population growth thing needs to be tweaked for chaos, makes them boring as fuck. That or I'm doing something wrong, which is a distinct posibility.
>>143609919
Second on this one. Is it mostly just taking lots of expendables while your big dudes do the work?
>>143609243
Yes
>already burned out
RELEASE MORE FACTIONS CA
LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY
Opinions on kholek?
Does he do enough work to make stand out from archaeon?
>>143609850
Demigryph Knight. Bet it would be awesome to bond with one of those beasts, riding him into battle.
>warhammer game
>no in-game army painter
you had one job Creative Assembly.
one.
job.
>>143610895
Archaon can already become a kill everything deal machine. Kholek trades magic for being slightly better early and late as a death machine in melee.
>Border princes keep razing dorf lands
STOP
THATS MY JOB YOU GITS
In Total War, Kislev invades you!
>tfw I invested all the way through Archaon's magic tree
feels so bad man. At least I haven't recruited kholek or siggy
Ha the imperial dogs think they can fight.
>>143610987DLC
it's actually in the game files, but I doubt it will be free
>>143611196
If they add Kislev I wonder how they'll balance them out so they dont just march north and destroy the tribes before Chaos arrives
>>143611338
just add massive attrition for human factions in the north
>>143611338
By having Chaos spawn early. And having huge ass corruption from the get go.
Well, my Empire campaign is done.
I really could probably get one of the victory conditions but it would essentially be me sending Panzergruppe Feuerbach(Retaining the name in remembrance, Vampire Cunts assassinated him) everywhere to clean up rebels and the last of the vamps. In other words, really unexciting and boring.
So what did I learn from this campaign? Steam tanks are overpowered as fuck and all you need to win the game.
is it just me or does the AI not use some of it's big bad units?
I played as empire on hard and the vampire counts never had terrorgheists, hexwraiths, or cairnwraiths utilized only some grave guard.
does the AI just avoid their use?
>>143611338
make some empire factions start at war with them
>>143611418
That already exists
>>143611548
>VC
That's the problem. Haven't seen any of the vampire factions do well yet.
>>143607227
>>143608608
Elderberries
>>143611709
senpai I don't think I have seen any factions other than the chaos factions with some big baddies in them.
and event hen the chaos horde doesn't get it's bullshit tier dragon ogre shaggoths from what I have seen.
I want to fuck a pair of vamp tits.
Playing WHTW is making me want to go back and play one of the earlier games instead. I miss things like family trees and wish they had included them even if they were just for comedic effect in the case of orcs and the "X's Chosen" for the Chaos or something. It's part of why I really like the Dwarfs, the grudges give me something tangible for roleplaying and hunting down those who wrong me. It's hard for me to care about things like that if I'm playing VC or Chaos because their units are expendable.
lizards when??
>>143607854
Yeah, this game realllllly needs some love in a patch pretty soon.
Unit balance issues aside, Magic is actually broken garbage right now, and some spells don't even work right.
Fate of Bjuna for example will cast ON THE CATAPULTS and not on the crews. Like, some of it is actually retarded.
Spend all those winds and.... you watch your spell do 5% damage to some pieces of wood instead of kill the people. Nice.
so are you better off speccing Lord's with combat skills or going fot the unit bonuses? the campaign skill tree seems really situational
Is Total War: Warhammer worth the full price? I got laid off this week so i'm having a hard time justifying the full price.
>>143607954
Sometimes seemingly for no reason too.
Mannfred for example has good/better melee stats than a lot of Lords but will get demolished by some that he should seemingly beat.
Game's just a little strange and non-intuitive here and there with the stats.
>>143608319
The charges actually suck on larger unit sizes because splash/spell damage doesn't scale correctly
>>143611497
So, anyways, I've been wanting to get more into the Scuffleslammer lore. Anybody got book recommendations?
>>143612205
Only if you really like Warhammer. Otherwise playing any of the previous games should scratch the same itch.
mod that disables fog when
>>143611548
Saw a terrorgheist once but I think it was a quest battle, not sure.
>>143611709
In the game that I won with dwarfs, VC and Templehof survived. VC was actually in Bretonnia fucking with their shit and Templehof probably just survived because nobody gave a fuck about them.
Fun fact, there was another minor faction near Bretonnia that survived the whole campaign with just one territory.I killed the vamps for fun
Is there a specific agent that I should use for spreading corruption as the VCs or will any of them work?
>>143608375
>but they don't drag on like in Radious
really? cause i'm using radious right now and the battles seem pretty faster (~6min).
>>143608748
Can anyone help me out here? Iv looked around on TWC and Steam cant find it, but I know the guy posted up here with a mediafire or something akin to that link. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Firing arcs are super narrow.
>every orc tribe at war with the savage orcs
I guess they really hate orc bible thumpers
What the fuck is happening
Is there a mod that makes griffons, Deathclaw and demigriffs anatomically correct males?
>>143612694
>Saw a terrorgheist once but I think it was a quest battle, not sure.
as empire on hard I saw a zombie dragon in balthasar gelts quest and a terrorgheist when I besieged drakenhof.
but the AI never bought the units and they had the buildings for some very dangerous stuff but stuck with basic skellingtons.
>>143612948
Corruption can make AI chaos spawn.
>>143613013
Yeah mine was on hard aswell, but since dorfs don't need to fight VC to win I just never bothered. The times I did they had pretty shitty armies and the only somewhat hard fight was the level 5 garrison.
>>143613120
I thought Opinici were suppose to be more like dragons with a camel's tail. Like this pic.

assuming the hero skill trees are the same as the empires equivalent unit banshees should be able to get plus 6 instead of 3 with other heroes
can i just say:
holy shit. I was losing hope in the Total War franchise. Shogun II seemed like a misfire in the shit cannon the company was blasting for a decade
even the tutorial guy isn't an annoying cunt
GW's zealous oversight seems to be working time and time again
What's a good build for Mannfred on a VC campaign?
I don't want to make him a solid spell caster since he's not Kemmler, but it just feels like his combat skills are shitty after the joy of playing Archaon.
Spirit leech or whatever is OP and literally 2-shot the enemy hero on Ultra Unit size, but there's no direct way to change its damage or anything so I dunno where to go with him.
Is investing in battle skills worth it? I have yet to play a hero who I've gone with a red skill tree.

Thank Sigmar, for a minute I thought that anon meant something else.
>>143610527
>>143614031
It's pathetic honestly because the Greatsword stats even after the Anti-Infantry bonus is calculated are WAY worse.
Greatswords have armor piercing so it makes you think that's why they win, but they inconsistently 1v1/almost 1v1 Chosen Greatweapons too.
The balance is really fucked up right now
>Kill enemy Lord

>>143614835
RIP in peace and rise again.
>>143614835
As the Empire lost its lands; Bretonnia sued for peace, ultimately abandoning their allies.
Further, some smaller dwarven clans began to ally themselves with the vamps.
The orcs would soon fall in line as an ally as well.Unfamiliar with lore of WH. Vamps ever united the world before? Because this is twisted. It's like they're uniting everyone under a dark banner. I can just see the dwarves slowly giving into the taint and saying "fuck it."
How do I stop the chaos?
>>143614505
My missile units get hundreds of kills every battle its just a matter of using the right tool for the job.
>>143614757
Yeah, enemies get a lot of bonus leadership on legendary.
The worst thing is all the fucking backstabbing and all the money you need to throw to just get a simple non-agression or even trade agreement.
>>143614770
>makes profit
>good
>you're not a shill
So, the orcs just killed all chaos in my land (Empire) with 200 stacks of waagh and now they're just sitting there doing nothing.
They're literally everywhere.

Same with me. My 6 quarellers on my main army lasted the whole campaing, they are even OP I would dare to say. They could route enemies with one or two volleys, awesome against trolls.
And quarellers you just either flank or just make sure no one is in front of them and they can melt shit, specially lords.
>>143615581
Shit, meant thunderers on the second line.

The end times are really here.
Operation cut features in exchange for some particle effects and physical unit size variety has been a success.
Im not even a historyfag, but I wanted to play total war, not accessible-to-new fags war.
>>143614469next week
Thank fuck, 50 turns in and I've killed off the dwarves

Playing as VC. Any idea how the Raise Army mechanic actually works? I just won a battle with Mannfred and Varghulf, resulted in over 6000 deaths. No battle site marker spawned afterwards though... I'm unsure why it didn't happen, since I was attacked in an open battle while it wasn't my turn. Anyone know how the raise dead mechanics actually work?
>>143616116
I got bored too early to know what's going on in that game.
>>143616270
bumping this
Also, does anyone feel like the game is too easy? Playing VC and just wiped out the Empire; just waiting on chaos to come and fight me now before I go and fuck the dwarves up.
Compared to Atilla, this game feels easy as shit. Did I just git gud, or?

>>143616782
Its also fun not to have spearmen vs spearmen fights for 1000 turns
>>143616475
Nah mate, I've had it work on previous campaigns as VC, in almost identical situations where I'm fighting the other counts.
>>143616834
Yeah sorry, I was talking out of my ass
>>143616823
I don't know what the fuck you're doing if all your fights are spearmen vs spearmen for even the first 10 turns.
How are the expansions going to work exactly?
Will the campaign map expand, or will you play different campaigns for different spheres?
>>143616823
But what about Attila? That had you fighting cavalry archers all game. That was fun right? Everyone knows how fun cavalry are to fight.

I think the thing I like most about this game is that the early game doesn't feel like your military is nothing but a bunch of peasants with sharp sticks and a wooden board for a shield.
Even the spearmen actually look nice. Obviously this is due to everything being based off of a tabletop model, but it goes to show you that CA needs to hire a better character designer. The units feel interesting, even if they are technically just a bunch of spearmen.

>but they inconsistently 1v1/almost 1v1 Chosen Greatweapons too.
Nah
>In almost everyones game the Border Princes absolutely fucking destroy Tilia, Estalia, and Averland
>The Dwarves fucking wreck the greenskins beyond any hope of recovery
I need this to be fixed. How am I supposed to get my sweet Empire vs Orc battles. Im tired of fighting edgy vikings
>>143616963
If they don't expand the map I'm going to be mad.
Babbies first TW game. How do you know how to compose your army? Is there a standard format and you just adapt as units get stronger?
>>143616153
You seem very upset that I'm posting borders. Are your own borders not doing that great?
>>143616525
Yeah, had a game where Marienburg, shitty brets and the dwarfs declared war on me while I tried to chase savage orcs out of my lawn.
I guess the very hard+ AI is just made to fuck with your shit
>>143616937
I think he's saying previous games were spearmen v spearmen
kek
Can someone give me a small explanation on how vampiric corruption works? Do enemy settlements bordering mine passively get corruption?
Do I need to move my agents inside of enemy provinces to give them corruption or do I need to actually target their buildings?
Do the corruption generating buildings make it spread to nearby cities? I googled it but didn't find a whole lot of specific information.
Is there a list of unique buildings for each faction somewhere?
Does VC have any?
Just putting this out there, if they do a Lustria expansion and don't make Skeggi playable I'm sending anthrax to CA's officer.
>>143616782
I dont know if thats better or worse.
>could have dank setting without casualisation
>CA makes it casual anyway
>CA now assumes they made the right decision so we wont see anything besides the expected factions, map and dlc added to the game
And yea spears got annoying, but now we have almost no spears or hard cavalry counters. Ill be mad if they make phalanx exclusive to elves or something.
Oh god
Oh god they'll rape me
Why did that stupid fucking Chaos warrior have to successfully assault me four turns in a row?

Nope. No idea how it works
>>143617098
EXDE borders lol!!! give me them (you)s haha got them once!
Kill yourself, thanks
>>143617221
That orc has really well groomed nails.
How do I deal with my opponent's missile cavalry as early-game Chaos? That and the dogs constantly outflanking me is a pain, I'm basically relying on my Chaos Warriors and Chosen 24/7 when everyone eventually gets stuck in.
>>143617032
I have bad news, they probably won't.
And to be honest, let's remember how weird E:TW's map got. I would like to see more than just the five factions we have - especially fucking Lizardmen vs. Skaven fights - but you run into limitations pretty quickly.
First of which is that what is happening in Lustria isn't really relevant to the Empire; and honestly the Empire has enough problems with Chaos. European style colonialism would be absurd, especially if the Aztecs are the descendants of fucking Old Ones.
All that said, I would like to see some sort of interplay between the separate campaigns, and some additions to the existing campaigns as well.
For example, let's say the next expansion is revolves around elves, just as a hypothetical. The "Old World" map gets a Wood Elf faction, and a bunch of new quests and diplomacy options in the vein of the European powers in Fall of the Samurai. Maybe a trading outpost or two.
And the elf oriented campaign gets a bunch of empire shit, potentially even "go help the empire" shit.
And when Skaven come around, those fuckers need to be everywhere. Possibly as a late-game menace for the dwarves, haunting the underway.
>>143617032
Surely more factions and regions would slow down the game though?
>>143617269
>hard cavalry counters.
That's halberds/polearms
>>143617325
You are Dawi! You will hold the line and die standing. Zombies and skellies are weak compared to your warriors and longbeards so just watch out for their cav the terrain you get is what will be most important. Also how did weismund get so bad like I mean I know about chaos corruption but damn.
empire is a pain in the ass tbqhwyf
>>143611338
Split Kislev up into more factions.
>>143617357
You are very upset. Sure, Warhammer is a smaller map (and even more limited since there are racial restrictions), but borders from Attila and Rome 2 were posted all the time. Don't see why Warhammer has to be different.
>>143617467
They stated future games will expand the map.
>>143617246
Only the last two levels of the building that generates vampire corruption add it to surrounding provinces. The first one only adds it to its home province
Every named character (Lords, LLs, and heroes) you have in a province adds to its vampiric corruption growth. Don't even have to deploy heroes, they just have to be in it.
>>143617467
The wording is all kinds of fucked, but CA has consistently given off the idea that they plan to make one massive map by the end of everything.
>>143617058
Use your brain
>>143616963
I think they said the expansions would be standalone and if you have the other ones the games will blend together in one campaign map with everyone.
>>143617684
Because you've posted the same exact picture like 4 times now because you got replies once
Kill yourself thanks
>>143617732
Would you say its worth putting the corruption buildings in most of your cities to spread it, or are heroes and the spreading technology enough?
>>143617597
I can't show a picture until I finish the fight, but somehow all of Middenland was invaded and conquered by the Northern raiders. They're like twenty feet from Altdorf right now.
>>143617813
And I used to post the same picture of my borders in Attila because I hadn't played the game in a day or so, but was interested in seeing how others were going. Stop being so upset, anon. Post some borders and tell us how your game is going.
>>143617806
How would that work with the whole Chaos invasion mechanic? Archaon just fucks up the Old World and leaves everywhere else alone?
>>143617467
you can get around most of those issues by merely having an invisible wall between the two continents until the Human player or AI researches the tech to cross the seas.
they did this in medieval 2 but for this game they would have the other factions spawned and fighting already but just a fog wall blocking access to the other continents.
Right. I'm convinced everyone in these threads who says they've done the Dwarf campaign on VH or Legendary are just bullshitting. This is literally fucking impossible.
I played as aggressive as my economy would allow and expanded into Ork territory to cripple them. Worked great until turn 17 when suddenly Ork armies started appearing from fucking thin-air all over the place and took every settlement back from me. This shit cannot be done unless you get insanely lucky and another AI faction attacks the Orks. But as it stands the Orks have a massive fucking hatred for the PC so they almost exclusively attack the PC.
It's also fucking insane that the Orks will ally rapidly while all the Dwarf AI are blindingly retarded and will decline nearly any agreement.
Fuck this.
>>143618064
And while that's certainly a possibility, let's not forget that the New World in Medieval 2 sucked balls.
SUMMON
>>143617861
I try to put on in every other province, or the most outward ones. It helps keep my rival neighbors corrupted so that I can attack without attrition, and it also helps keep the inward ones up to combat chaos corruption
The heroes should just be a big boost in provinces you are thinking of capturing
>>143618107
It would be nice if CA did something other than artificial difficulty on the harder modes.
>>143618270
*put one corruption building in every other province
>>143616963
>>143617032
>>143617467
Already confirmed we are getting two stand-alone expansions that fit together with each-other into one super-campaign map, plus associated DLC and FLC for each stand-alone game.

That almost looks like it's from Stronghold... Carcasses are pretty good way to fuck up a city senpai.
How are the VC's supposed to make money? I'd assume the wine resource buildings are for trading but not a lot of people want to trade with me as a VC and there don't seem to be any straight income buildings except for the one that only gives 150 per turn at max level.
>>143618107
You should have built walls
man, I wish VCs had some ranged units. I'm not asking for anything amazing, just some shitty skeleton archers or something that I could put on the walls.
>>143618717
Play tombkings then when they are added
Fucking cowardly-ass vampire tried to fly away instead of dying to Ungrim like a man.
>>143618553
Does fuck all against the full stacks they shit out.
Also need to fund the one army you have that can combat the Ork spam so you're stuck, in turns 1-20 dealing with-
>Awful Public order in captured settlements
>Public order in starting settlements
>Upkeep on one full stack
>Expanding the economy to support stack
>Dealing with settlement defense
>Growing population to expand
Bullshit. You can't do all of that in early game and in early game is the only chance you have to cripple the Orks before they turn into 10-11 stack rape machine factions.
Should I give the Empire a hand? I don't really want to have to deal with Chaos.
>>143618779
I would buy all the DLC but it's not out yet! Have Tomb Kings even been announced?
>>143618717
do they not have ranged units in the tabletop? doesn't seem like it'd be too much of a jump for a necromancer to make a battalion of skeletons loose arrows in formation if he can make them fight with swords and spears.
>>143617325
Jesus I can't believe I survived

>mfw Dwarves have it ez mode
>tfw as Imperial it's hard because we get a billion units and I don't know what build to go with
>>143619030
I'm more surprised that you thought you would die. I mean, if you focused all fire on Zacharias and killed him, you could have made the battle even easier because all of the undead units would have started crumbling.
>>143619257
swords to held 'em in place
greatswords to flank
halberds for anti-large
>>143619257
/me eyeroll
>>143618995
From memory, no. They've always relied on magic for ranged damage. They have some neat TT units we didn't get in the game though.

I'd get as much pussy as i do now but now i'd be a demi-god
>>143619360

No. Just Greatswords. And Demigryph Knights.. And Steam Tanks. In fact, forget the greatswords and demigryph knights.

well, swords are cheaper.
