The multiplayer for this game is fucked
Blood Dragons fugging when?
Is there any advantage to fucking about with the Norsicans as Chaos? I mean, it seems like the goal there is to replace the Skaeling and Varg with your cronies but isn't it better just to leave those stronger factions to fuck with Nordland while you go straight for Kislev then the Empire?
Ahhh /twg/… the eternal general
>>143958363
It's already been leaked that the new unit is the mortis engine
>>143958235
For the one true Emperor!
Chaos design is bad in this game, whoever was tasked with making units didnt understand the implications of being a horde
and no, I am not that autist bitching about chosen, my problem is that the cheaper units arent worth it, because their buildings require population, AND increase the pop cost of all other buildings, so you are better off just ignoring stuff like trolls and chariots and going for the chosen, knights with lances and dragon ogres
So do most of you play long or medium campaigns? I've always played long in previous Total War titles but playing a game as orcs for long is fucking ridiculous. I destroyed all dwarves but now I need to go all over the map to claim the ruins that chaos shit on in the north and the Bretonnians shit on in the east, just seems kind of dull and a run around rather than the WAAAGH! I want to fight.
Also Black Orcs need bigger unit sizes, they actually seem to lose to a lot of things and Big Uns or Boys seem to do better.
>>143958363tomorrow
>>143958459
Considering regeneration is shit in TWWH thats pretty disappointing
>>143958405
What is with that picture?
>>143958363
>>143958459
I'd be ok with both, but I think Blood Knights will be the FLC unit.
Abhorash as next LL with Blood Dragons as Blood Knights unit of renown!
So what's the skinny on DLC for this game? Seems like a good platform for it. Except releasing a race as DLC when it's on the disc
>tfw Chaos gets wiped out without you even doing anything
It's over boys, we're heading north. Gonna raise the remnants of the chaos invasion.
>>143958405
It's the long game for Chaos. The campaign intro straight up tells you tzeentch fucked with time and its unclear if the end times have yet to begin or are in full swing. you can take archaon and go straight into kislev, or you can go questing on his journey through norsca to unite the tribes and gather his artifacts.
doing either works because sacking is so lucrative, but having a 4-6 vassal norsca pumping out their own doomstacks in your name can be pretty helpful, especially when they join you in battle or raze a settlement you just sacked.
>>143958662
>Except releasing a race as DLC when it's on the disc
The 'only' (except for the Chaos Warriors which were free for the first week) on-disc faction DLC will be Bretonnia and they will be free!
is beating the chaos campaign on legendary an achievement? am i allowed to feel proud?
>>143958734
Chaos is specifically what I'm referring to
>>143958459
what exactly does this wacky new thing do?
>>143958667
Happened in my greenskins campaign, kinda disappointing but made finishing the game relatively easyso I can now play the fun factions
>>143958778
yes, but keep in mindit's only game
Since we are speaking about VC, why am I attacking all these other Lords who are Von Carsteins?
I have killed Frederick Von Carstein, Dierick Von Carstein. Is everyone related or something?
>>143958828
i understand. thank you
>>143958848
Only one can rule the Bloodline!
>>143958810
>220 points Chariot with an Armour Save of 5+ on top of it's 5 Toughness and 5 Wounds, but this isn't a Black Coach that you want to run your enemy down with. It's purely a support unit. It's offensive abilities are abysmal (unless you charge it into a flank) despite it getting a lot of little bird peck attacks, but it has decent survivability. Here's where you factor in it's abilities. The Reliquary ability gives your undead a nice regeneration boost to make them live longer/tarpit better and can hit a good amount of enemy units at decently high strength, making it one of the few good ranged units available to you, and with the amount of wounds it has you don't even need to worry about taking a hit from doubles, and even if it does get a little hurt, you can just heal it up yourself.

guys what is the best artillery unit for Empire?
i think it's Mortar because they are cheap and accurate
>>143958848
The von carsteins are the largest and most influential of the bloodlines
Blood knights only want to fight amd there arent a whole lot of them
Lamians arent big on fighting
Strigoi are both rare and completely degenerate.
>>143959045
>Strigoi are both rare and completely degenerate.
For Vampires? Or Humans?

Can a euphoric gentleman translate this shit please
Welp, legendary VC campaign has ended after 200 turns. There's no defeating this. Literally cannot catch a break this campaign. We'll be back though.
how to make a chaos army
doing the monster mash featuring forsaken is the only thing that has a semblance of effectiveness for me.

how is this series popular again? the war is repetitive as fuck, empire management is babby tier and diplomacy is beyond broken.
Is it just because all the other good strategy franchises didn't make it out of the 00's and the genre is naturally addictive?
>>143959175
that stack really isn't that bad. his infantry is all tier 1, the dogs and horses aren't really good, and trolls receive a mighty dicking from mannfreds magic, don't they?
>>143959234
Sounds like you are a shitter and need to git gud.
This series has survived because no strategy game offers a strategic campaign and as well as tactical battles.
>>143959227
tank is hardly consider an artillery unit though, it is a combat vehicle
>>143959360
There was competition they just all kind of blew though.
>>143959234
It isn't called total friendship anon
Get fucked Todshitter :^)
>>143959108
Even for Vampires. They're basically devolved hulking monsters with more in common with ghouls than other vampires. Most of the bloodlines feel contempt for them at the very best. By human standards they're abominations
Is there a fluff reason for humans taking attrition on undead land and vice versa or is it just something CA made up?
>>143959415
Which competition? Unless I missed some obscure title there isn't any game that offers what Total War offers.
Especially in the size of the battles.
>>143959108
Both.
The strigoi got assfucked in the ye olde vampire war. With the loss of their empire/clan theyve reverted into bestial shapes(but not full blown varghulf) and run around the woods fucking shit up for everybody. The ghouls apparently feel a kindred spirit in them because they tend to flock to strigoi more so than other vampires.
Strigoi are particularly hated by other vampires for two reasons
One; Strigoi will feed on other vampires, and that scares the shit out of them as much as it disgusts them
Two; When the strigoi go to war they feed ghouls their blood, considering ghouls are both alive and degenerate cannibals its incredibly revolting to the other vampires. The result is crypt horrors.
Crypt horrors are pretty neat. Basically the ghouls body tries to emulate the vampires eternal life and strength and super powers their body giving them massive muscles that they tear all the time but they constantly regenerate. The side effect of the regeneration(or rather cause of it) is super cancer.
So crypt horrors are really big really mean walking tumors. Crypt horrors only live for a few years after their transformation before theyre totally consumed
>>143959187
a lot of great weapon chosen, chaos lances, doggies when fighting norskans and empire, replace doggies and halberds with chariots/cavalry, or more great weapon chosen when fighting dwarves
>>143959224
Only the campaign (eating captives, lots of whacky things happening to the heroes, Gork and Mork, quest battle speeches and so on) but battles aren't fun (well, except for Grimgor soloing armies and Doomdiver catapults).
All in all you're right, they're really fun.
But there's no spookiness, pimp lords or swag hats with giant feathers.
>>143959460
Only a braindead retard ventures into Sylvania, and for good reason. The entire landscape is incredibly hostile to outsiders, from the restless dead to the horrific creatures that haunt the forests. Also the trees are carnivorous.
>>143959360
Git gud at what? Broken diplomacy?
It's 8 times easier to just shit on them instead because the AI is terrible at war.
Tactical battle? Have more units or abuse archers
>enemy throws stack at garrison
>win
>conquer all of their shit within the next 3-4 turns
If you make it past turn 20, you've won. This game is trash.
>>143959651
Not if you are in raiding stance :^)
>>143959491
King Arthur: The Role-Playing game
Real Warfare 1242
XIII Century
They all kind of blew though. I'm sure I'm missing a couple.
>>143959460
it's an abstraction of a bunch of evil shit happening in evil lands. random animal packs snatching watchmen and dragging them screaming from their posts. outriders patrolling a road and getting pulled apart by living roots and branches.
>>143959651
What about for undead? As long as their leader is with them why would they take attrition?
>>143959460
You know that town near Vizima in the first Witcher game? One that's basically filled to the brim with ghouls, drowners and spectral hounds because of shit going down. And you keep finding corpses of villagers everywhere because even having lived all their life there they still occasionally got caught.
That's what undead land is like. The attrition comes from soldiers wandering around alone or in small groups and then getting eaten by ghouls.
>>143959726
I dunno, maybe some ghouls or direwolves dragging away some stray zombies? Honestly the only beings truly safe in Sylvania are the vampires themselves.
>>143959362
the rest arent really worth it, you are better of taking a unit of greatswords, or cavalry, or even just an extra hero
>>143959891
Its not like the citizens of sylvania dont enjoy it there. Its nicer than brettonia or the empire thats for sure.
>>143959714
>>143959491
And then there was that one game, what was it called, oh I knowWarhammer: Mark of Chaos
>>143959891
I mean undead in low-corruption land
>>143960006
Oh yeah that one was okay because of how good an adaption it was, but I can't get it to run.
>>143959234
Diplomacy in warhammer total war works great.
>>143959683
and this is why I dislike shogun, I actually agree with everything you said, its one of the worst total war games, but everyone praises it for some reason
>>143959349
>>143958675
I just fled from that. I have no men.
>>143959609
i mean in a multiplayer battle mostly. capiagn is great since you can get tons of cash through sacking cities, so price isn't really a limit
when talking cost efficientness against people in multiplayer battles, i get anally-thrusted consistently when playing chaos.
So why don't people like the vargheists? What makes them so shit?
So tomorrow is the patch right? RIGHT!? I can't wait more to play as Bretonnia
BLOOD DLC WHEN??
REEEEE
>>143960320
oh I suck at multiplayer so I have no idea, would getting some marauders in spagheti lines in front of your great weapon chaos warriors work? maybe throw in some chariots or whatever?
>>143960391
>They die easily
>They get bogged down
>Dont really do much damage
>>143960478after tomorrow
>>143960391
Good early game. Shit late game. Monsters are generally pretty shit if you play on ultra due to them getting bogged down easier. Also auto resolve fucks over single units pretty fucking hard.
>>143959987
Are you shitting me? Living in Sylvania fucking sucks. They live in constant terror of being eaten alive by undead or having the blood sucked out of them by vampires. Sylvanian peasants just don't complain because if they did they'd be killed, and they're too poor to leave, not to mention if they tried they'd be hunted down and slaughtered.
DANCE MACABRE
>>143959726
At least for the Empire it makes sense, Sigmar blessed relics in the ground or something sipping off the undead magic.
Maybe sunlight weakening the Vampire?

>>143960391
I think , the problem is not the unit itself .
https://youtu.be/6cwQ1hOnIOA?t=1m23s
I mean , you always get in the middle , like when the demigryphs charge the ones who give the back and go that deep that they can hit you from the flanks , back , etc.
>>143960618
Sunlight, and the land isn't as saturated with Dark Magic makes it harder for a vampire to maintain the bindings on his undead.
>>143960540
Literally canon that sylvania has better living conditions than bretonnia/empiere
>>143960073
I got it to run with no problems on windows 7. Although it was from disc and I have to have the disc in while playing
>>143960745
Yeah something like that
Where should I go as Dwarves after I reconquer the Silver Road? Should I head south and try to take Death Pass from the Greenskins, or should I continue north and wipe out those Red Spear shits.
Also wondering when I should poop out a second army. There is a lot of ground to cover even with Underway.Just got a follower whose tooltip mentions the Skaven, confirmed then? Ratmen when then?
>>143960496
well maybe, but getting all clumped up against someone like the dwarfs, the marauders and warriors actually get pushed back by regular dwarf warriors, and thats considering they also have a range advantage as well as cool shit like iron drakes, blasting charges, and bombers.
the empires cavalry out-performs chaos knights with their demigryphs actually being just as expensive.orcs aren't actually too bad to deal with
death sorcerors can actually fair alright taking out wraiths, and flying units, but great weapon graveguards seem to plow through chaos warriors pretty easily. chosen do alright, but they get massed-up-on because of how expensive they are.
GIVE ME BRETONNIA GOD DAMMIT I ALREADY FINISHED EVERYONE ELSE
Any good Let's Play memers? I found watching someone who is actually good at the game enjoyable when XCOM came out.
>>143960821
shit all over the two immediate greenskin holds to your south using underway, then just as quickly underway your ass north to take mount gunbad before someone else does. only raid south until you get confronted by and wipe out the greenskins' starting full stack, and maybe any other armies you see, or theyll just come north while youre away because the AI sees all.
>>143960821
Head south. Don't head north unless you like holding the north vs Chaos while trying to take the south once you are done with North.

I can only recruit Vamprire Lords and Master Necromancers

Tips for playing Greenskins?
>>143960958

do you mean chaos warriors with shields? they are worthless, in fact every unit with a shield is worthless because most elite units have armor piercing damage

It really is poetry. Consider that this retard actually makes money being this retarded as well
>>143961836
Screen with zombies/skellies. Spam Grave Guard with great weapons as soon as you can. Use fell bats/vargheists to take out enemy ranged. Flank with cav. Abuse death magic as hard as you can.

None. Sorry. The chances of getting anything but well-known LL's for any faction are incredibly low.
>>143960540
literally still better than bretonnia

>>143961000
How do you have 4 grudge throwers in a unit?
>>143962393
I used it on a previous campaign mostly for bringing back monsters like crypt horrors and vargheists during the rout phase. A nice little way to help the replenishment, if you didn't burn all your winds sniping off enemy heroes
>>143960042
like the dialogue box for it says, the lack of dark magyyks saturating the land makes it harder for necromancers to keep the bindings on the undead

>>143961489
yeah, great weapon chaos warriors don't hold their own as well as i feel like they should. even with great weapons.
have you had much success with chaos in gold-even battles? if so tell me about them, every time i think i start getting a handle on chaos, i just get my asshole torn inside-out. i just like themaestheticallyso i'm trying to make them work
anons really, really tried to make a diverse army in my orc campaign... but the most effective thing is to go full stack of black orks + some artillery and maybe wolfs... this is sad
>>143962681
>or vlad (father of the von carsteins)
Please no. I'd take Konrad over Vlad but I'd rather it not be a von Carstein at all.
>>143961897
Only confederate if you know you can defend their lands immediately. Most of the times, if they are willing to confederate, it means that they are in big shit.
In my previous campaign i confederated with Dwarf clan that held almost all of the south, but was separated from me by a couple of provinces. By merging with them, not only my economy went into shitter, but i realized that almost all of their settlements are under siege and there is nothing i can do to hold them. My book of grudges filled with so many grudges so i had to restart my campaign.

>>143962795
Volkmar would make sense if they're planning on releasing flagellants, since they'd be one of his bonus units what with being head of the Sigmarite Church.
Helborg or Schwarzhelm would be cool, but not particularly LL-tier. I really, really want them to bring in unique heroes just so we can get those guys.

That's a shame. I would've liked monstrous LL for vamps. He would buff his ghouls and Crypt Horrors, and would start with 1 Crypt Horror unit. Not only that, he would be purely physical damage dealer, following the theme of each faction having 1 mage, 1 hybrid, and 1 warrior.
finally removed Dwarfs as orc in a +40 minute 40 vs 40 assault.
Shit was epic, a lot of helm's deep feelings
one questions, as ork what should I do once chaos shows up? ally with humies and go to kill archaon?
>>143963229
If you are Grimgor, you are honour bound by all that is green and stompy to fuck Archaon. Fuck him so bad he cries.

>>143963229
black orc his ass with grimgor and friends. sneak in a giant or two imho, and just overwhelm him with multiple battles if need-be. if you kill archaeon by yourself that means more fighting all around.
>>143963229
>defending lands you can't occupy
Let Archaon krump all the humies he wants to, and use the chaos to run in and do MORE SACKING of your own.
If he tries anything near you though, shit into his throat.

come on man, he's not worth your time, come on let's go pillage the human settlements that dwarf isn't worth it.. forget about him dude
Those last 6 hours made me want to cut my own throat, running around grabbing every Dwarf settlement, but that felt pretty good overall. Now onto Empire.

Someone requested a smug archaon?
Debating on whether to buy warhammer or not.
Is it worth it /twg/? I've been burned by CA before, buying soon after release
Is it Rome2 bad and I should wait or have they finally learnt not to release a buggy mess?
Also is Attila worth $11?
Does the blacksmith recruitment bonus stack?
>>143964387
Welp, so much for my plan of razing Norsca to the ground before Archaon arrives, Chaos is already right outside Altdorf
>>143962884
Why specifically Vlad?
>>143964676
yes its shit, attila is shit, videogames are shit, life is shit, CA is shit now sod off
>>143962884
I think its pretty obvious it'll be Konrad, there's a quote that comes up which is something like 'sorry to disappoint you but I appear to be alive' and he'd be a melee expert. After that maybe Walach Harkon but CA should have Mousillon as an alternate start position. Bretonnia and Vamps just go well together.
>>143964757
Wew lad
>>143962152
And have a more difficult time sludging through awful gameplay mechanics?
Noty. Enjoy your shit franchise, nerd.
>>143964676
I have already put in more than 70 hours, and that shit has only been out for a week. I definitely think it's worth it, but you're going to have to make your own decision.
>>143963559
>NOOO, NAOITENDZ TIMES™ THE SIEGE OF ALTDORF™
>>143964676
Yep game is terrible anon, better not buy it. After all CA are the ultrajews amirite? ;)
So whats the counter to marauder horsemen?
>>143964676
>Is it Rome2 bad
It's not bad at all.
You can debate whether or not some of the decisions they made about the design were good or nor, but Rome II was actually fundamentally BROKEN at launch and Warhammer works more or less perfectly on the technical level.
The situation literally has NOTHING in common with Rome II.
>Also is Attila worth $11?
Yes, Attila is pretty good.
>>143964676
Attila is definitely worth at 11 bucks
So far Warhammer is pretty damn good. A bit shallow in depth but in terms of releases this is one of CAs best as the only really bad bug has been Magic having no scaling on unit sizes and some big units like the luminark of hysh sucking ass.
compared to fucking Rome 2 and Empires release this is a miracle.
>>143964989
Literally anything
>>143964805
That would go even better with Vlad though.There are some pretty hefty hints in the novels that Mannfred caused Vlad's death in the first place, by manipulating the Empire to steal the ring that made Vlad return from the dead again and again.
All hail Emperor Mannfred von Carstein.
Just occupied Altdorf as Vampire Counts, wasn't there supposed to be some cinematic for when taking over it as VC?
>>143965049
what about krell bro?
Is today the last day to get free chaos? Or was it yesterday?
>>143964676
The general consensus is that it's surprisingly good, and most everyone is happy with it.
There's some balance issues but that's to be expected, and it's nothing mods can't handle. Multiplayer is a bit of a mess right now but the campaign is great.
Don't pick vampire cunts on a high difficulty until you really know what you're doing.
Get it from gmg so you can get the 20% off.

Thanks lads. Looks like I'll be sinking some hours into both these
I don't really know anything about the Warhammer universe/lore but the game looked too damn intriguing
>>143965150
Could be Krell too, but it seems unthematic for him to not go with Kemmler.
>>143965150
I don't see how a VC army could work with no caster. Even Konrad and Walach would know the lore of Vampires.
Why is this so stupid. If I start absolutely destroying someone, then I should be able to offer them peace on the condition they become a Vassal. If I have to just wipe them off the map that just sucks...
>>143965397
Isn't konrad magically retarded, and had to rely entirely on necromancers to do his magic for him?
>>143965562
This.

Just Solland and Reikland, though Solland is used by Kurt Helborg. The Reikland one is kept in the treasury.
Any tips on gitting gud at total war in general? Or any good youtube tutorials?
Playing through Attila before I think about getting WH, I'm a bit shit though
>/civ4xg/ overtaken by scifi fags

this pleases me, you deserve all of it, you pseudo-intellectual shits
Im not well versed in warhammer fantasy lore, and I can tell the black arrow orcs are a dumb idea. But why is it so hated?
>barely fend of a full orks stack
>their general is nearly unkillable and I had to focus him with the whole army to get him down
>they follow up with another stack
Dwarf campaign is bullshit.
>>143966186
I wouldn't really call the civ players hisfags though, they are usually pretty chill. And they already had quite a number of fantasy and scifi games before stellaris came out anyway.
>>143966186
Gas the /his/fags when?
Also post /his/fag salt.

>>143963975

>>143966212
It's not an Orcish thing to do, Orcs have no respect for ranged warfare, and orc archers are as unrespected as goblins
Black Orcs are the biggest, baddest Orcs, bred by slavers and they only live for fighting, fully armored and their presence is enough for the Boyz to stop infighting and focus on the enemy (a fucking big acomplishment), that's how respected they are
you can see how it doesn't fit

(desu I got rekt last time i played this campaign but this time I went full zerg on the south and thankfully all the dwarves down there survived)

>>143965150
Krell should be Legendary amped up Wight king imo, so he could roll with his pal ol Kem
>>143966490
Yeah I should just bumrush the Orcs after uniting my own region.
I also think I'm simply building too much quarrelers.
so lads how many unique siege cities are there?, I'm autoresolving the sieges that look minor and just want to know what not to miss.
I think prague was a special settlement
FUCKING WHEN?
>>143959506
I fucking love Sylvania.
>>143966783
I think you can see the 'unique' sieges by looking at the siege custom maps.
