STUPID HUMIE GIT
In the original Total War: Shogun, I once watched a Kensai successfully defend a bridge against an entire brigade of enemy Samurai. In that moment the last vestiges of historical accuracy drained out of the series, never to return. It wasn't a great loss: the franchise is still the best wedding of tactical and strategic layers ever to grace a computer. But given the emptiness of its historical settings, it makes sense that Total War has finally ditched any pretence of simulation with the entirely pretend Total War: Warhammer.
Not that the result has much in common with either piece of source material. As a veteran of both, I started out utterly confused after an inexcusably bad tutorial and lack of instruction material. Miniature gamers will discover that tried and tested tabletop tactics don't work on these digital battlefields. Total War devotees, on the other hand, will find that while the mechanics are familiar, the vast diversity of new and bizarre units make the game play very differently to its predecessors.
Given how awful the learning curve is at the moment, it's tempting to stall on this until various bloggers and vloggers have got on the case to smooth it out. Patches will come, prices may drop. Those who like a challenge may wish to take the plunge now and learn the hard way. Either way, if you have the slightest interest then this is not a game to miss. In bringing fantasy to Total War, Creative Assembly have made both the best Total War game and the best fantasy strategy game to date.

I can't tell anymore if this is some modified pasta or some utterly pretentious cunt writing a steam/meta review.
For the Empire's first quest fight should I be ambushing the enemy immediately or waiting for the secessionists to appear?
I'm going to marry my vampire waifu!

I've never been so bored in a total war game
>>144517070
That's where you went wrong, you don't sit around and wait to replenish as chaos. You either merge damaged units or sell them and buy new ones.
Kill off the weak, and replenish your numbers with offerings of the corpses of your enemies.
>>144516897
>i attack when the enemy is weak and unprepared or when they have grown stronger????
Jesus fucking christ you guys, normal wooden siege towers would have been fine, we're been sitting ducks for 5 turns hoping that waaagh doesn't show up from down south and you built 8 fucking beautiful masterpieces
>>144517070
Chaos is the ultra aggressive play style my man. Pickings up north ain't good? Get on a ship, go down south. Never stop burning and raping shit.
In no other total war game has there been a faction as aggression focused as chaos. Your bread and butter is the murder of the innocent.

Are trolls any good? The ones I've fought seemed like complete shit.
>>144517860
oh that's it you're going in the book of grudges
>>144518246
They need to engage alongside fodder infantry. Sending in trolls alone gets their shit wrecked, send them in with some gobboz and they wreck shit.
>>144518313
nice meme, have an upvote

>>144518345
Do you think that's how they'll do ogres? They don't have regen so they can actually give them leadership, but the idea of sending in gnoblar fodder so your ogres don't get swarmed.
How do you guys counter units like Chosen, Chaos Spawns & Demigryphs as Vampire Counts? My GW Grave Guard & Lanced Black Knights keep getting wrecked. I used Ethereal units to great effect but everyone is saying they're really bad, do I use Vargulfs or something else instead?
when the fuck do we get the free DLC or something? goddamn I need more and modders keep fucking up all the good mods
>>144516241
Looks like Justin Timberlake
It's turn 30 and Skaven just sailed to Marienburg with three stacks
What do I do?
>>144518593
>Chosen
depends on their weapon: GW - monsters/cav, halberds and sword and shield - GWGG
>Chaos Spawns
monsters
>Demigryphs
you dont
> I used Ethereal units to great effect but everyone is saying they're really bad
hey man, as long as it works for you keep using it
Alright guys, can I have some comparison images of TWW and Rome 2 and/or Shogun 2? My buddy believes Rome 2 looks better than TWW and I'm pretty fucking sure it doesn't.
>>144518603
2-3 weeks until Blood and Gore which will also bring the free VC unit. At least I hope so...
The free faction will still take quite some time it seems...
>>144518593
>chosen
engage with melee troops, flank with monsters/black knight charges
>chaos spawns
engage with melee troops, flank with monsters/black knight charges
>demigryphs
i dunno lol
ignore what anyone says about ethereal units, 9/10 it's because they believe the meme about their health being 75% worse so it cancels out the 75% physical protection, this is literally untrue, hexwraiths have almost 2/3 of the health of black knights and cairn wraiths have like 40% of the health of grave guards, and grave guards are your front line tanky units anyway, you shouldn't really be using ethereal units or monsters to engage in frontline combat at all
>>144518794
do it yourself anon, also, be honest, you dont have a buddy, you just want to funpost
>>144518863
He's literally discussing this topic with me at this moment on steam.
>>144518738
build a wall around Marienburg and keep a small stack with cheap units in there. Marienburg is a Capital so it has crazy high garrison
>>144518927
sure thing
ask "him" which roman armour looks the best
1-5: retry my kemmler run
6-0: attila
>>144517785
Attila's actually way more apocalyptic than warhammer
Chaos spend their whole invasion running from me
>>144518593
Crypt Horrors are really good versus armored elites. Demigryphs are more difficult - maybe try and tarpit them with Skeleton Spearmen.
>>144518794
Just took some random screenshots
>>144518603
Probably time to take a break if you've gotten to that point.
I've played 85 hours so far and while it's starting to get dry, I can't complain when I've already gotten more than my money's worth.
Until they release a race pack, the DLC won't add much replay value anyway.
>>144519204
That's not on highest settings on the far right.
Where should I head to after dealing with Kislev as Chaos?
>>144518794
I think attilla looks better right now mainly because you get people climbing over small walls and shit
So I'm reading the lore of End Times, what happens after Vampire guy gave Gelt the book thing?
>>144518819
wait wtf is a hero? why are so many of these new heros and not LLs?
>>144519258
That's right, no AA, SSAO and something else...
>>144519284
Also why is Chaos at war with the Norsca tribes if they worship Chaos?
>>144519284
Kill maim burn
>>144519336
Because LLs require more work.
I'm curious who the VC LL will be - Red Duke is the obvious choice but he wouldn't start in Sylvania.
Vlad is dead and Neferata wouldn't really fit in the current VC setup and wouldn't serve Mannfred either.
>>144519417
The nords worship strength and power, if Archaon is too weak to crush them then he has no business being worshipped.
Chaos is also at each others throat ALL the time, it is constant struggle and war.
what do you think CA will good up harder on, chariot heavy TK, or monstrous infantry the faction OK
>>144519676
Konrad will be the VC LL
Wurzzag will be the greenskin LL

Can I be a legendary lord? I'm a smart man
>>144519676
>Red Duke is the obvious choice
You mean Abhorrash
>>144519719
Well mostly harder for weak as it stand for some but not all is happy with result.
>>144519676
It's Konrad
He's all over the loading screens
The game heavily implies he's not dead
He'd be the most obvious one to build a skill treee for
>>144519901
What will he be, straight up melee? They ought to fix Kemmler first, that Lord is such a joke.
>>144519764
I really hope they go for a goblin for the third greenskin leader
Legendary Heroes WHEN?
Krell W H E N?
H
E
N
?
>>144519901
>>144519791
One of those two for sure, VC miss a pure melee LL.
I personally think Krell is more likely though
>>144519719
TK as none of the chariots work particularly well at the moment and are really micro intensive too.
>>144519764
>>144519901
Konrad should be dead too. Mannfred didn't return to rule until he was gone. Would make some sense gameplay wise as he was pretty much full melee focused.
>>144519764
Krell should be a special hero for Kemmler - he's not really a general type.
>>144519852
WAY too powerful.
Are there any decent campaign AI tweaks out right now? Or any decent campaign mods for that matter. Was playing with a mod that added a bunch of new skills which was nice, but eventually the creator started adding a buncha broken bullshit. Would probly have been better if he had just fixed the shitty vanilla ones instead.
>>144518958
>three stacks one turn away
>"build a wall!"
It's basically game over m8
Skaven only declared war on me and no one else, and then dropped three stacks next to me
>>144518794
>>144519204
>>144519258
Should be ok now
>>144519676
I wan't Ghoul King really bad. Konrad seems kinda boring, we don't need another bald vampire dude as LL
>>144519973
I'm trying to do a Kemmler run now and it's fucking agony
Why does he only have one magic skill tree which is all healing and really high miscast chances? So you can pick any skill tree to level on Kemmler and you'll end up with an aura support Lord regardless
It's too easy for Mannfred to kill a lord but Kemmler has literally no ability to do that
>>144520142
He's just all fluff, the powerful Necro supporting hordes of skeletons and zombies. Doesn't work in the game though.
>>144520082
Skaeling, Skaven are something differentthe best faction in the WH universe
>>144519676
>Red Duke is the obvious choice but he wouldn't start in Sylvania
Lore wise Azhag should start in the chaos wastes
All of his quests are in the chaos wastes
He still starts in the same place as Grimgor
>>144519981
Walach Harkon would also be a good melee option.
While he doesn't directly serve the VC leaders, he did come along and give the Von Carsteins a hand in their battles from time to time and would have a good quest line regarding retaking Blood Keep iirc.
>>144520142
>>144520214
Oh and also the moment you finish the first quest you unlock a necromancer hero
So Kemmler also has a useless early hero unlock
Is it even confirmed that the new legendary lord will be a vampire count or are people just assuming that because of the background on the picture?
>>144520129
I still don't understand why all our vampire lords are bald. Did CA figure all vampire were different shades of Mannfred? The missing nose ones are pretty dumb too.
Vampires are youthful, vampires are handsome, that's the point of being a vampire.
>>144520231
True, but Azhag was at least a roaming WAAAGH warband.
Red Duke would be part of the Mousillon faction that's already in game and potentially should be their leader.
>>144520369
>Vampires are youthful, vampires are handsome
Actually, they aren't. That's literally a glamour, and when you go to war, you don't need that shit.
>>144517291
Hey, to be fair, the advisor guy says at one point in the battle... something like, "ok Franz, now wait until the guy meets up with his reinforcements, and strike hard"
Of course, by the time he actually says this, most players will have jumped the fuck out and killed the guy's army already, and already be on the way to murder his meetup.
>Play Dwarf
>everyone wants to confederate
>Play Empire
>nobody wants to confederate
This is why dwarves get ahead in life
>>144520434
depends on the bloodline
Lahmians legit stay pretty
>>144520326
They'll try to aim for every major faction having at least 3 legendary lords. That includes vamps.
>>144520479
You don't want to confederate as Dwarfs though
Gives you loads of problems before you've cleared the goblin hordes out
>>144520490
Hilariously the picture shows that the dwarfs are gonna get fuckall support
>>144516241
Jewish DSP
>>144520557
Hilariously not every DLC is going to be free so that picture funnily enough is not comprehensive.
What is causing me to lose money from deploying a Necromancer in my own territory? Their deployment action says it decreases building costs (which it does) but I have also invested in their passive to boost a local regions income.
Everytime I deploy him my overall income goes down though.
>>144520434
It'd be cool if they stayed sexy 'til the moment they got into combat, then dropped all pretense and became horrifying monsters for the shock value.
>>144520557
Thorek will likely be paid DLC with his Anvil of Doom and Runelords as a general choice.
I can imagine Belegar being added in a pack with Skarsnik centered around Karak Eight Peaks.
>>144520745
Possibly he has some retainers that increase income. While he's being deployed their effects don't work?
>>144520719
Great, thanks for proving my point about dwarfs getting no free supoort
How do Greenskins deal with the overwhelming public order problems? No like you have enough money to leave a garrison everywhere early on.
>>144520557
>>144520719
What fairly common units are missing from the game?
Squigs, halflings and dwarf bolt throwers are the few i can think of.
You guys ready for DLC?

God fucking damnit I'm going back to Vampire Cunts
And the horse is finally finished, now to do the knights themselves, and add them as their own unit (right now, I just replaced the Reiksguard mount with a custom one)
Before I get to that, how should they be stat-wise? better than reiksguard? anything special about them?
>>144521012
Da boss has ta sleep somewhere.
>>144521134
Man those culture packs were shit. At least compared to the Attila culture packs.
>>144521134
I prefer the games where they have like 1 or 2 extra campaigns but loads of units/new factions
>>144521134
>he thinks that's bad
hey lads, just finished up the Mousillon vampire counts reskin pack
so the textures are all good.
units edited/retextured are everything thats not a ghost/monster female.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=696617778&searchtext=
now I'm just trying to learn how to make them implemented by ONLY mousillon instead of all vampire factions and its driving me loco.
regardless have fun
>>144520989
Funnily you are welcome. Just facetously remember that ridiculously they are still getting paid support.
>>144521134
I never had any interest in the campaign packs so I'm good I guess.
>>144521291
Glorious m8
>>144521176
Is that a new model or juts a new texture?
>>144516263
>be me
You don't say.
>>144521291
Wow, that looks pretty cool. Nice work!
>>144521291
What unit is that, a Bretonnian Grave Guard?
>>144521405
Texture edit. No tools to put new models in the game yet.
>>144521042
Flagellants, Dwarf Rangers, Corpse Piles, Blood Dragons, War Altar of Sigmar.
Plus a whole bunch for Chaos Warriors.
>>144521405
a clone of the armored horse, with a new texture
it will not replace anything

Who doesn't? The problem is that their fans eat that mini dlc shit up like hotcakes like the good little cucks they are
>>144521385
just wait until they make you fork $15 over for a new part of the map and then $7.99 just so you can play 1 of the new factions introduced
>>144521549
also add a leadership aura to them like blackorcs
>>144521486
>tfw Flagellant/Sigmarite themed army isn't possibleyet
Why
>>144521694
I saw a mod that added some decent looking Flagellants.
>>144521638
>he's an early adopter
>he doesn't wait for sales
would a mod changing the font on the book of grudges be possible? its really hard to read this shit.
>>144521779
Insulting the font? In the book you go.
>>144521694
CA being jews and not releasing the model importer/exporter
>>144521694
art like this goes great with warhammer. Some of the imperial guard 40k stuff was done like this and it really gave that over populated and helpless feeling.
Whats the deal with that building/flagellants anyways?
>>144521756
I pirated Rome 2, waited until the humble bundle to buy Attila, and will only have Warhammer soon because it came with a CPU. I wait for sales, I just think CA is retarded

Actually can't wait for DLC, will be greatand for the first time really worth it
Are you guys watching the tournament? when the hell was this announced? isn't the game unbalanced as fuck in multiplayer?
>>144521890
It's not CA, it's GW they won't let that stuff happen
CA actually fought hard for modding
>>144522224
I really like the attilla DLC
Only the longbeards really suck
>>144521918
I loved the old art style of 6th edition, I like the newer stuff as but stuff like this was cool how it showed the scale of things and how over the top it was at times.
Automorial is an automated puppet show that shows the story of Sigmar kicking his foes ass. The flagellants kill themselves/subject themselves to extreme amounts of pain to show their faith in Sigmar or to show how they don't fear death.
