multiplayer doesn't matter
Its physically impossible to balance a TW game for both campaign and multiplayer, and campaign is more popular
ergo multiplayer is irrelevant
>>144167478
>>144167620
No, it's not expected. It should be close fights in both cases. They are 1300 and 1500 respectively, and shit on the Greatsword's melee stats.
10 extra weapon damage against infantry(THIS IS WHAT ANTI-INFANTRY DOES) should in no fucking way shit all over 90% more Melee Atk/Def.
If you are actually implying that non-Great Weapon Chosen beat Greatswords then it's clear that you're testing on easy AI or not testing at all and making shit up.
I have tested these units to make sure I wasn't talking bullshit, but it's clear that you haven't.
Stay shit, Empirebab. And keep making shit up while you're at it, fuccboi.
>>144167414
Rollan!
>>144167684
It's impossible to balance multiplayer though. Take for example the monstrous units. If you made them cost effective what stops people from spamming them instead of using infantry? There would have to be some sort of unit limit.
>>144167850
>unit balance in campaign
how is that even a topic for discussion
Why are you all such angry people.
You should be happy.
>>144167853
So you admit it, you've been using the wrong units, dont read the tooltips to understand counters and are blaming the game for your own failures.
Warhammer is a game of rock/paper/scissors both in TW and the tabletop, if you refuse to play it that way its your fault, dont pretend the game is imbalanced because you were so stupid you ran Chosen swords into empire Greatswords

What? No.
Thats not how it works on the TB, or should work in the game. Chosen sword/board get obliterated by dedicated AP units, like they should be.
1st a secret tip, editing the preferences file in %appdata% specifically I turned "sky" down to minimum for no difference in quality and 8-10 fps. Now to my question
have an old i5 2500k at 4ghz and a hd 6950 2gig sitting around that I'm going to install this on as gaming pc broke, what sorta graphics settings an I gonna need to get 40fps lads

Not really. Balance impacts both the same way. You can steamroll your way through the Empire campaign with spam armies if you really want to. It isn't fun, but you can certainly do it.
Are there any good books with Skaven in them? This game has inspired me to write (again) but I need to know about Skaven to write them.
I'm about to go on shift so I may not be able to reply but I will be watching.

I feel as if its faster than Shogun II's sanic speed. I'm just waiting for a mod to turn it down a bit. Just my opinion though.

>>What does it matter that they flat out beat most units in the game
They are the Empires final tier infantry unit made for killing other infantry, no shit they are strong.
This argument was spawned out of you claiming Chaos cant handle them, when in fact the cheaper Chaos Warriors with great weapons do a good job and can easily overcome them with a bit of support, and Chosen great weapons beat them easily.
>>144168057
>>144168179
I think Gray Seer Thanquol has a book series, but other than that I have no idea. Also he just fails fantastically which is kind of what the Skaven did before the End Times.

All I did was prove you're a hypocritical lair, if you dont want to be called on your bullshit dont post it in the first place.
You are bitching because you lose against Empire because you are bad, it has nothing to do with the balance between those Chaos/Empire troops because the balance between them is good.
>>144168690
he was talking about a 1v1, because that's the only place "balance" technically matters. in the campaign it doesn't come down to unit balance, it comes down to making the units in the first place.
the game's not balanced to be honest
>>144168059
Not that you need super-elites like Elves to kill Chaos shits because a shit 5'8" humie with a big sword does just fine.

Look, the guy you're arguing with is a dick, but you're still objectively wrong dude. Empire vs Chaos balance is horribly Empire-favoured, and not just because of Greatswords vs Chosen.

>>144168180
Slower battles mod. Slows down melee combat.
>>144168842
Less versatile, grudge throwers tumble through enemy lines and disrupt entire unit advances. Whereas cannons are basically good for taking down large units like Giants, etc. also good for sieges considering gates and towers fall to them relatively easily.
>>144168842
>Are Cannons worth it? they seem more devastating than Grudge Throwers but also less versatile.
They're useful against high-value units like monsters. Anything from the artillery tree more expensive than cannons is trash though.

I'm probably about done with you Autist-chan because I'm about to try out this Dead by Daylight beta, but I'll give you another reply.
You've proven nothing. Go back and read your own replies. You're a mouth foaming retard that's ignoring tested and well known facts. The fact that you can even utter the phrase "Chaos/Empire balance is good" is just a disgrace to your parents for shitting out such a failure.
You're a moron. You'll always be a moron. Everyone will know just how much of a dumbfuck peon you are and you'll never be able to hide it.
Are you afraid to go grab a friend and test stuff in a custom battle? Oh, no friends? Well that's fine, you can use an AI too you'll just need more troops to make sure the AI doesn't retard-out and mess up the results. Go try 10 Chosen without Great Weapons against 10 Greatswords. That's being nice to Chaos, too. That's spending less money. If you wanted to see what it was really like, it's more like 15 Greatswords against 10 Chosen. Go on, go try it.
Fuckin' dumbass faggot.
Can't take the VC seriously because I instantly picture Count von Count whenever they're referenced.
>>144169469
Only works on a 1v1 situation from my experience
If you run your lord up but dont commit him (or move him too close) the other lord wont either
>>144169498

This was never claimed by me or anyone else to be a fair fight. Greatswrods would always win, like they should, against Chosen swords since swords are not AP units
The issue is that you claimed Chosen GREAT WEAPONS lose to Greatswords, which is false.
We both know the reason you are now saying without great weapons is because you realized you were wrong all along.
>>144168128
Lad Greatswords can't even touch chosen in TT what are you talking about
>>144169784

Go find the post where I said Chosen GW lose to Greatswords. The closest thing I said to that, which I could understand how it got mixed up in your autistic mind I suppose, was that Chosen Great Weapons lose 80% of their men against Greatswords which is effectively dead.
Well, go on. Shoo shoo. Go find it.
>>144169862

>>144168548
>Nigger generalizing people as dumb
>>144169905
Chosen have double the stats of Greatswords so there's no reason for the Chosen not to bog down to Greatswords for a long fucking time.
That's assuming they should lose in the first place of course. They're significantly more expensive.
>>144169809
>The issue is that you claimed Chosen GREAT WEAPONS lose to Greatswords, which is false.
Why is this even an argument? Greatswords are still more than cost effective against Great Weapon Chosen, or did you just forget that Greatswords cost 550 less?

No more replies for you.
>>144170054
No they dont, they have slightly better stats, but lose out on anti unit bonus. If anything unbalanced is here its Chosen are a little bit more expensive, irrelevant considering Chaos gets infinitely more money than any other faction though.
Still dont see any issues with balance here.
>>144169963
i'm overall not too worried about facing chaos, espcially since i've got a good pace going so far, even if it's a little unstable.
so far i only have a couple raiding parties, i have grimgor running after rebels, and i have a 20 stack i got from the skullz hitting up the dwarves to the south.

>>144170191
>they have slightly better stats
No, they have way better stats. I don't have the game up currently but it's like 56 defense/50 offense normal Chosen, 22 defense/28 offense Greatswords. Their weapon damages are only separated by 2 points as well, though I can't remember who has the extra two.
That's WAY more stats. You pay for the stats too, they're significantly more expensive than Greatswords. Those stats imply that they'd do quite well at the very LEAST at bogging down Greatswords because the Greatswords should barely hit them because the Chosen are just that much better.
>>144169487
>>144170458
>Unless you are claiming MP is relevant in which case I have nothing to say to you except you're a fool.
What's up with your irrational dislike for MP? Plenty of people play and enjoy the MP in TW games and we've been holding tournaments for years.
>>144170535
>MPfag
Worse than historyfags, at least historyfags play their games and not the substandard multiplayer which no one takes seriously.
Get some real friends and play coop faggot.
>>144170667
i think everyone just really hates losing or something. or they saw shogun 2's "multiplayer" and never looked back.
>>144170667
This, you can only discuss balance in a MP enviorment, no one gives a shit about sp, anything can work if you invest enough in it there.
Chosen are overpriced and weak, and they're not overpriced just by a little, they're fucking 1300 and 1500 points respectively
>>144170674
They need 2v2 head to head
When will he learn?
>>144170610
You've misunderstood the stat difference.
>>144170796
Shogun 2's multiplayer was good. Sure, they had some balance issues at various points like loan sword spam and heavy gunners but, generally speaking, balanced armies could take pretty much anything on when played well.
>>144170667
Because they take it way too seriously on /twg/ and think MP should be the focus on the game
What's going on with replays in warhammer? I've been saving good battles and tried watching one, the enemy reinforcements spawned on the opposite side of the map that they actually did, and it ended up showing a loss when I had a victory in the campaign. You could even see what orders I issued, only all my units were doing completely different things so they got pulverized as they tried to pull out THROUGH the enemy they were engaged with.
>>144169982

Embarrassing tb.h lads
Beating CA AI is literally babby tier.
do you guys fight the same races as you play like other humans if empire or dawi when playing dwarves? Or do you use the confederation option to acquire their lands?
THEY ALMOST FUCKING LOST
50% INCREASED PRICE
>>144170610
I'm not sure the stat difference is quite that large.
In any case, rarely do the stats in TW games accurately reflect unit performance. Attila was full of hidden stats that made certain units overperform by a huge margin. Hence, pre-nerf Tagmata annihilating all other cav due to their massive hidden anti-cav bonus and two-handed axe units and elite Hun infantry steamrolling infantry due to their enormous hidden melee attack bonus against infantry.
>>144170667
Because every day some fag runs into /twg/ and starts crying that unit X is shit and unit Y is overpowered because they lost a MP battle
The game can either be balanced for campaign, or balanced for MP, but there is absolutely no way CA could ever do both.

the whole grinding up units and unlocking things tended to bog the experience up for me, though on the same note it gave me a lot of incentive to actually play a lot.
>>144169565
well just completely uninstalled gpu and reinstalled latest drivers, and oced up to 4.2
if it still sucks I'll cry but at least I tried
THE THRONG IS MUSTARD
>>144171141
what is there to even "balance" in the campaign though? you can pretty much get away with doing fuck-all even on legendary in my experience.
>>144171081
>only 20% have played a MP battle
>only 2% of people have played more than 25 MP games
From CA's perspective; it is irrelevant.

try higher settings
>>144171014
Replay's have been borked for a while it saves the movements, but not the position of units so the AI does its best to replay what happened.
>>144171262
w-wait w-what the FUCK
>>144171141
>keep a set for MP and a set for SP
Not that hard.
I personally dont need perfect balance, but a fix for the obviously broken units like Demigryphs and witch hunters.
>>144171014
If you're using different mods from when you saved the replay they mess up
>>144171151
>the whole grinding up units and unlocking things tended to bog the experience up for me
I can see why that annoyed people. However, as long as you kept winning, the grind was pretty short.
Moreover, having your own customised units was pretty cool. I put a lot of effort into naming and customising all of my units and I became pretty attached to them. It's such a pity that they didn't implement Avatar mode in later TW iterations.
>>144171232
Most people do run with balanced armies, so CA has some idea on what to balance around.
/twg/ is generally got better peopleor worse if you think about itin it though, who know cheese strats and use them excessively.
>>144171263
I don't know how they fucking expect anyone to get 8,000 income from raiding. With like six armies speced for raiding income I could only get like 5,000
>>144170863
I've misunderstood numbers that can be compared side by side? You aren't autist-chan, are you?
>>144171139
It is that large, you can check. Just take a second to look at Chosen and Greatswords in a Custom Battle army select. You don't even need to launch it.
>>144171401
>My friend with a top tier army was making 1.5k a turn from raiding with a single army
Either he was lying, or something was wrong. It was a super expensive army though, mostly just Blacks and Giants.
>>144171212

Dogbert and the Arena boyz will champion a fix.

>Pronouncing Carstein as 'Carsteen' instead of 'Car-sh-tain'
Is there a proper german 'ei' in english?
>>144171401
you can raid dwarves for 3k late in the game with the proper skills
>>144171401
Yeah, I was about 120 turns into a Greenskin campaign and I checked the victory objectives and saw that the money from "raiding" didn't include sacking money, so I just set up in 4 different places and only hit about 4k.
>have a grudge with 20 severity
>its vs Top Knotz
>They have no settlements and their only agent is lvl 20

This mechanic is so amazingly unfun.
I have to train my thanes for 50 rounds just to try assassinate a piss goblin in the corner of the map to win my campaign, everything else is done.
>>144171485
>I've misunderstood numbers that can be compared side by side?
You've misunderstood the importance of stats. A big stat difference is 50+ stats in something important, a handful of improved stats across the board means nothing. Add in the fact that hidden stats and that there are modifiers and you get your stat based justification for non GS chosen getting shit on by greatswords.
And again, thats how it should be.
>>144171139
Yeah, I very much expect that Empire troops have huge hidden stat bonuses. We'll have to wait for some miner to find out, but the stats in this game line up for almost everything except Empire troops.
Grave Guard w/ GW are pretty close to Greatswords but Grave Guard w/ GW perform as expected against Chosen. Greatswords, obviously, do not.
>>144171524

>>144171609
>Greatswords, obviously, do not.
>Chosen with GW win
They obviously, do.
>>144168675
Artillery count for loads in auto-resolve
But it is shit in actual battles if more than a few.
>>144171609
We already know that there's some fuckery going on with Halberd attack speed on infantry - which is why they appear to perform worse than expected.
Someone will datamine the game and figure out what's going on with Empire.
>>144171485
>'ve misunderstood numbers that can be compared side by side? You aren't autist-chan, are you?
you dumb cunt, greatswords have 100 armour and armour penetrating damage IN ADDITION TO THE +10 bonus to attack and damage against infantry, normal chosen have no armor penetration, how is this hard to understand?
>>144171523
Unfortunately, Dogbert doesn't work on TWW, he just does PR shit.
The game needs a permanent MP mode, I hated it in Shogun 2 but TWW needs it, you need item slots just like in SP so you can stack up that fucking magic res to avoid being sniped by spirit leech
>>144168429
Auto resolve isn't broken, the game just doesn't want you auto resolving on legendary lords so it tilts the AR more in their favor. It does the same thing on higher difficulty games in previous entries except more drastic here with LL.

>>144171996
Hes retarded, ignore him
>>144171696
Na. Grave Guard lose after a bit and it's a bogged down slow fight against Norma
>>144171696
No one mentioned Chosen with Great Weapons. Grave Guard lose to normal Chosen w/ Shields despite being almost the same as Greatswords. Greatswords on the other hand fucking destroy Chosen w/ Shields.
Anyway.
>>144171265
alright the results are oddly similiar, somethigns gotta be bottlenecking like a mofo.
only real difference between your settings is I have fps going down to 10 when zoomed in on fights and an explosion hits, as opposed to 15.
lifes over anon. godspeed for you and your well running rig though
>>144171996
Normal chosen also have TWICE the melee defence, 7 more weapon damage, and 16 more melee attack (more than 50%) of the greatswords
Also 15 more armor
>>144171262
t-thx
>>144171262
Oh my fucking god
Azhag is actually fucking decent now
>>144171996
>>144172132
And Grave Guard lose to normal Chosen. While also being Anti-Infantry and Armor Piercing.
>>144172125
>Grave Guard lose to normal Chosen w/ Shields
As they should, they are swords, not greatswords. This is how it works on the TT too.
>feel like undead are shit

I'm sure VC still suck but they are fun.
>>144168429

And I bet if SS Goku were the enemy general you'd still say the auto resolve is broken
>>144171262
We should put that in the OP.
>>144172239
Grave Guard Great Weapons, that is.
>>144172212
Hes not, you wont get his helmet until you've already fought and beaten your toughest enemies anyway
For a lvl8 quest it throws some real bullshit at you
>>144168134
Could you be more specific about the files you changed? Is %appdata% in the original Total War folder or is there a TW file in your system files?

>>144172251
in the campaign i find that they're pretty slow but a lot of guys around here have had a lot of success with themin multiplayer i find they're a cool middleground between the shitfiends of chaos, and the "gods of destruction" empire
Can I still not gift regions in coop? It's fucked up the provinces playing same race.
>>144172132
And? Normal chosen are swords/halberds, not greatswords.
Rock/paper/scissors has always been more important than stats in every single TW game ever, this isnt even a warhammer thing. That being said it works ike that in warhammer as well for a lot of troops.
Stats are not important until its the same weapon type fighting, in which case everything works as normal for empire vs chaos.
>>144172132
it does not fucking matter against 100 armour, how is this hard to understand? non-armour piercing damage will not do jack shit against that much armour
>>144172045
Demigryphs won't help much if you aren't making income.
I'm about turn 60 on my current Emp runthrough and I have Wissenland, Averland, Stirland, Talabecland, Ostermark, Bastonne Marienburg and Bastonne, built up Greatsword and Demi armies right now to fight the neverending swarms of Norscans. Already farted on the Chaos nigs the moment they stepped into Ostland and they've been licking their wounds as Varg continuously pours a neverending stream of fullstacks into my north no matter how many I slap back.
>>144172420
The difference between Chosen and grave guard is massive, its no surprise they lose there either
>>144172440
No it fucking doesn't, Chosen don't win against greatswords as a unit that costs more than half the entire cost of greatswords should.
And greatswords should not win, period, they should damage normal chosen, but they shouldn't win.
>>144172009
Yea a MP hero to level and gear would be perfect for this game.
Hopefully thats going to be one of the features that come from the expansions.
>>144172239
>And Grave Guard lose to normal Chosen
graveguard, have less armour and siginificantly worse melee stats than the greatswords
I KNOW this has been asked before, but I didn't really see any definitive answers. Could you all list the number and composition of the units you have in an ideal early, middlr, and late game Empire army?
Curious as to what you've found effective at different points of the game. Very hard difficulty.
>>144172348
I can anon, good thing Im still browsing this meme of a place
here is the pathC:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer\scripts
now you will want to open the preferences file, I prefer wordpad but notepad or anything works
then ctrl f sky and you will see the headinggfx_sky_quality 1; # gfx_sky_quality <int>, Set the quality of sky. 0 - low, 3 - ultra #
change the gfx sky quality "number" to 0
>>144172606
>And greatswords should not win, period, they should damage normal chosen, but they shouldn't win.
says fucking who? units with two handed weapons ARE DESIGNED to kill shield and sword infantry, for fucks sake anon is this your first total war game? did you complain about burgundian axemen taking a shit on roman sword and shield infantry in attila too?
>>144172348
appdata/roaming/thecreativeassembly/warhammer/scripts
>>144172606
>And greatswords should not win, period, they should damage normal chosen, but they shouldn't win.
Uh, no. That isnt how Warhammer works, or even TW games with counters. At this point you just want Chosen to be more OP for the sake of it, rather than balance. So, nothing else to say really.
>>144172469
Greatswords should probably have 75-80 armor too.
>>144172632
Great Weapon Grave Guard is what was being mentioned, I just forgot to add the GW part if you didn't see the reply fixing it. Anyway, they don't have significantly worse stats. They're barely worse and even have slightly MORE weapon damage.
Empire troops are busted. They're the only faction in the game that doesn't stand up correctly to everything else. The game is at least acceptably balanced if you don't include the Empire, but as soon as you throw the Empire in everything else is shit.
>>144172720
Yeah, I actually found the file a few minutes after asking, didn't realize it was in the creative assembly folder. I didn't change it though because I didn't want to dink around when I didn't know exactly what to change. Thank you though.
>>144172606
>And greatswords should not win, period, they should damage normal chosen, but they shouldn't win.
This is 100% against the TT.
>>144172732
>>144172761
Says a Warhammer plays, anyone would laugh in your face at the thought of Greatswords even touching Chosen, and it seems CA agreed with the concept since they made them expensive as fuck like in TT, unfortunately they nerfed the shit out of them probably because of the DLC backlash they didn't want to be seen as selling a P2W DLC in mp.
