>>144631389
Guys, why the fuck does the AI do this?
3 god damn full armies standing right next to my settlement, and this halph dead dipshit comes up and besieges it.
I thought the AI is intelligent ffs.
TWW btw.
>kill them, raise them!

kek, i had a huge treasure and -50k was no problem for a few turns.
Then i played for too long and didnt notice i was going broke.
Its all sorted out now though. I build expensive armies to fight off the orcs and delete them after.
Literally had 6-7 waagh armies destroying settlements and conquering provines like every turn.
They were going to gang rape me.

kek, yes thats what i did.
20 steam tanks for every stack. I had 5 stacks i think.
But they saved my empire lel, all of them were rank 9 and i would always let them travel together.
So 40 steam tanks for every battle, it was epic.

am I in a good enough position for now? I stayed away from Marienburg and can't expand in that diretion. It's legend so I didn't try to give those fucks a reason to attack me until I've built up my armies.

>>144633428
Idea is the same. my man
>>144633715
I can't, both Marienburg and some other empire faction invaded there. My best bet is to just get Pfeildorf. I intentionally stayed away from that fuckfest because every time I got into a war with Marienburg on Very Hard or above it ended up with my entire province getting declared war on from every fucking direction.
To the guy who wanted better slayers, i think it should work now, but i can't find the button that gives the 25% resistance tooltip, sorry.
i'm gonna boost the AP for grailknights now for other anon.

Rollan!
I NEEEED DLC NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Vamps are so fucking annoying to play
Almost every settlement you capture has trade goods with low income just from the building
But nobody wants to trade with you (all the trading nations in the game being people you have to conquer/eliminate), whenever you do get a trade going the empire immediately declares war on your trading partner
And you can't sack shit like gobbos because of attrition
It's like playing Attila as the Jews but with worse relations and less settlement building to keep you occupied as you wait for corruption to spread
The inability for Greenskins to trade doesn't make their playthrough any harder but it makes Vamps a fuckload more annoying to play
>>144634173

>>144634446
While I hated fending off doomstack after doomstack, I kinda miss it
Why does the AI give you quests to raise another army when you don't have the income to support it?
Wouldn't that ruin the games of new players who don't know any better?
Thought the whole point of quests was to guide people through a playthrough
>>144634584

Why do you even need to trade as Vampire Counts? Eastern Sylvania makes SO much money if you know what you're doing. Even without abusing agents you can get 3k a turn from that 1 province alone.
>>144634774

I play on ultra but playing the game with different unit sizes is actually really fun and adds variation. If you like to use magic then play on small or medium unit sizes where they have much bigger impact.
On small, Mannfred's Spirit Leech one-shots Lords which is kinda funny.
WTF I hate skeletons now!
My enemy had a stack of grave guard and 6 crypt horrors and yeah they killed like 10 zombie units but it's just not enough. my zombies held them down for so long my elite units could clean up the rest
>>144631636
mercy programming. AI that are badly depleted and have no way to do anything but march around the map in circles will just siege or attack whatever so you don't have to chase them around like a retard.
>>144635128
>playing with an ezmode mod
blood knights weren't in the game for a reason.
>>144635636
They spent it on more fancy hats and codpieces.
>>144635636
>politicians pocket the money and live their lives in luxury because they sold out to you
>>144635707
The reason is so they can sell them as DLC you mongoloid, clearly it's not for balance reasons or demigryphs wouldn't be in
>>144635407
Dogs with poison. If you get the tech that gives them +10% speed they will catch anything on the ground.
>>144633171
Using historical tactics in Total War is always so much fun, even if it's rarely as effective as hammer and anvil. I liked to use Epirot Maniples in Rome 2 a lot just because they're so stable and easy to micro despite taking slightly larger pike casualties.
>>144632691
In the lore, they don't have them because they wouldn't really do anything with them. They live in mountains, the only reason they made gyrocopters is because they are useful for scouting between peaks. You could argue the tanks would be useful in the underways, but a stationary cannon does the same thing just as well.
Dwarfs have giant metal battle ships and a Zeppelin that has bombs and 5 organ guns, they have the technology to put a steam engine on a god damn cart then surround it with metal.
Then there is the giant ass Zeppelin that the Dwarfs and Nuln work on together than can stay airborne forever.
>>144634584
>implying that was ever the point of quests
Quests started as a way to simulate the way warlords have to play politics and favors with the political class even if it required making strategically unsound decisions. They're supposed to risk ruining your game for a few shiny units and money.
Why did you capitalize the M on monday here? Is that how you english? Foreign fag here
>>144636037
That's how it is with many of the Grudges, too. Sometimes you'll have to assassinate an ally over a 2gold dinner bill potentially ruining relations. It's actually kind of funny.
>>144636054
Yah, days and months get capitalized because they're proper nouns.

>>144636439
To settle grudges, most of the time you have to go through an extremely lengthy courtroom process, which can take months, years, even decades to actually happen or get an outcome.
By that time, most people have forgotten what the grudge even was, however trivial, but a grudge still stands so they will pursue.
>>144636464
Depends if the background pic is indicative of the faction
>>144636439
You could go cause international shitstorms over your grudges, or you could use your mountains of cash to build breweries and drown your longbeards in mead.

>When Archaon finally completed his centuries long odyssey throughout the dark places of the world and was crowned Lord of the End Times, he immediately began work to add the remaining Northern tribes who had not yet pledged themselves to his apocalyptic banner to his vast armies.
>Within a short time, he had succeeded in bringing every last tribe, clan or warrior-band that had ever vied for control of the tainted Northlands under his iron-fisted rule. Bloodthirsty Aeslings and barbaric Baersonlings, wily Skaelings and sea-faring Sarls, twisted Vargs, savage Graelings and berserker Bjornlings and a thousand other hard-hearted Norse tribes aside, all did answer the Everchosen's call.
Threadly reminder that true Everchosens of the gods unite all of norsca before ravaging the world.

Ah, good to know! Thanks anons
>>144636439
They literally have a grudge to destroy a mountain just because they were a bit butthurt
And there's a bunch of grudges that are basically impossible because they're for stuff that's lost to the chaos wastes
>>144636464
>Either Skarsnik or Wurrzag
Wurrzag was confirmed more than half a year ago
What play through are you on /twg/?
>>144636826
Y'know, why couldn't Norsca be a bunch of divided Norscan tribes instead of the fuckhueg Varg and Skaeling monstrousities with maxed-out ports?
If they were split into the Baersonlings, Aeslings, Sarls etc. we wouldn't have to deal with so many doomstacks until Archie spawns at turn 50.
It also incentivizes actually going into Norsca as Chaos, instead of ignoring them and fucking up Kislev ASAP, since that way you can grab more allies or at least reduce it to a manageable number of vassals.
I just take a look at End Times and my mind full of fuck. Why they destroyed world, i mean writers? So no longer Warhammer Fantasy? Also who attacks who on end of times? Its like current syrian situation.
>>144637064
I have no idea why they split norsca only 2 ways
>>144637045
Vamps but I'm getting bored
Corruption just means that I really can't fight that many battles in a row before having to either heal off attrition or sit my lord in a province whilst it corrupts
Biggest problem is that their agents key use is spreading corruption, but if you do that then they level up really slow
>>144636985
I didn't keep track of blogs and dev posts really, but I'd be glad if he was.
>>144637184
It wasn't a blog or dev post, it was in this Rally Point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZHeF9XN-BM
how many hours into the game where you when you realized you can teleport to quest battles ?45
What are some things you lads hope they add in, mechanically, for the next historical game? I'd like to be able to control policy more finely, like sliders and events for slavery and immigration to further the theme they've been building in Rome 2 and Attila of choosing between money or a stable society. You can take in immigrants for more money, but they decrease your cultural influence. For slaves, they lower your upkeep but cause unrest and a random chance of revolt.
Does anyone here know if the Bright Wizard's map-wide flame-weakness debuff stacks? I'd like to try having a couple in my army to see if I can somehow make magic deal some fucking damage on ultra.
>>144637064
That'd be a lot better than the shit we're dealing with now. I'm hoping either norsca gets broken up further with new factions, or someone just mods the tribes' start at some point.
>>144637339
How about I don't know...better battles? Y know, what this shit is made for
>>144637339
A complete overhaul of how city/province management works. No more limited building slots that do basically nothing. More options, more variety, more problems and/or problem solving.
Basically, the opposite of what it is now.
>>144637163
Are they at least divided according to the lore? There's lower Norscans and upper Norscans, think Danes and Swedes/Norsemen, so Varg should run the southern regions and Skaelings run the north.
>>144637339
I think they should make a push for much larger armies than we see right now so that historical tactics are a bit more applicable and useful, since it's so easy to flank small armies.
>>144637531
in the game it's more like skaelings control the west and varg rule the east.
>>144637531
No in lore there's a bunch of tribes all split up and regularly Fucking with each other
>>144637402
Nothing stacks, ever. You can easily see this by having multiple casters with Arcane Conduit and similar buffs.
>>144637150
Games Workshop in their eternal wisdom nuked fantasy so they could simplify the rules to attract new players.
A blunder because TW: Warhammer has actually made me more interested in the fantasy setting than I ever was before. But I have no interest in Age of Sigmar.
>>144637498
Better in what way?
>>144637526
I'd like that if they kept squalor to keep things in some sort of check. It's definitely frustrating when you have some places overflowing with sanitation that can't take any more and some constantly courting disease with open spaces.
>>144637248
Wasn't Rally point a dev blog...........?
>>144635869
I always like to deploy roman troops as they did historically, just without the checkerboard thing they've got going on. Nice challenge to prevent an attack devolving into complete chaos. Likewise when you get the marian legionaries I switch again. Wish the AI could handle pike and shot tactics so we could get a 17th century total war or something.
>>144637816
I mean, it's a video, so it's not a blog.
>>144637747
Right, but more generally they can be split into lower and upper Norscans. Lower Norscans are interested in commerce and industry along with viking, and upper Norscans are purely into violence for its own sake. It'd avoid itching my autism if they had something like the Varg beating all the other southern tribes into submission and Skaeling doing the same in the north.
>>144637805
With more building slots, you'd get more options to expand and keep things in order. And don't be completely stupid about it like it was in Rome 2 where nearly every tier 2+ building added squalor.
Taking it back to Medieval 2/Rome 1's building style would be really helpful for a start.
>>144636939
>hey literally have a grudge to destroy a mountain just because they were a bit butthurt
kek, please elaborate
>>144637853
autism
>>144637747
Precisely why I think more tribes would be better. They'd all be squabbling early game, until turn 50 comes around and Archie spawns in the northeast corner. Then they'd suddenly break off their wars and grab military alliances within 5 turns, and then start invading the south in earnest.
In contrast, if you start as Chaos, this would incentivize you to go in, beat a few heads in and help a couple of tribes to primacy, recreating the Varg/Skaeling monstrousity we know and love in the current game.
>>144637805
More units per army, larger unit sizes, better ai formations and tactics
Do any of the Rome II culture packs actually offer some different gameplay/units? I feel like with Warhammer it'll be fairly easy for them to provide something different, but Rome II always seem to lead to more spears in a different colour.
>>144638230
Spearlines with some swords is pretty much what warfare was in Europe for like over 1000 years.
>>144638012
Yeah, I definitely agree maximum freedom is best as long as there is some sort of challenge to it. I actually prefer the province-building in modern games just because it got so boring in Rome 1 and Medieval 2, always taking everything you can and constantly pumping money into it without any thought, it got tedious.
>>144637316
how do you do that ?
>>144638346
Click on the quest battle, and at the bottom right corner it should have the option to teleport for like 5000 money.
>>144638346
There's a button on the bottom right of the quest battle preview that lets you teleport there temporarily for payment, and teleports you back to where you were when you finish the battle
Shit's so convenient I wish I knew about it earlier
>>144638298
So you keep the restrictions that Medieval 2 had with the Fort vs city. But have it as Capital and towns. Capitals can make more expensive luxury buildings, merchant areas and other guild housing stuff. While towns make the farms, husbandry and such like. Just on a far more grand scale. Rome 2 had it right to a degree, limiting certain building choices. But the building slots were just far too limited to make use of them, forcing you to make dedicated areas for singular uses.
>>144637829
Checkerboarding works, but it relies on the player having the discipline to just hold still instead of countercharging. Normally you'd want to do this, but the Roman troop stats are just so blatantly superior to anyone else's infantry that countercharging and breaking into their formations is usually better because your guys will kill faster than they will. And you can just replenish losses on campaign, whereas the real generals had to curb their losses as much as possible.
>>144638012
Honestly I hated Med2/Rome1's buildings. I built the exact same thing in the exact same order everywhere. At that point it would have been better to just tie buildings to growth. My personal favorite system was the towns in Empire. It made me actually want to defend my territory rather than just my cities.
UPDATE
It was going to be a High King edition, but since I already have one Craig is going to get me something else.
I'm hyped.
What purpose do Cairn Wraiths serve in armies? They seem to get barely any kills and the special ability of not taking physical damage seems completely useless
>>144638346
get you're hero there then their will be an option in the lower right hand corner of the quest screen that say's 'teleport LL to the quest battle' it'll cost a hefty fee though. it also teleports the LL back.
>>144638647
Its probably going to just be a t-shirt or something.
>>144638647
Damn these fuckers weren't prepared
>>144638230
Black Sea and Nomads are quality, the rest are making present factions a little deeper.
>>144638680
Be spooky.
>>144638680
I haven't used them personally but maybe tying up a unit that can't hurt it? I remember that's generally how ethereal units were used on tabletop
Grudges are silly as fuck.
>grudge of 50 tails against Skaven for gnawing at mine supports
>63 tails reaped at the cost of 4 lives
>4 lives worth 190 tails
>net loss of 177 tails
It's a wonder that any grudges are struck out at all.
>>144638023
not the first guy but as far as i know i think a mine collapsed or an avalanche happened or something like that, killed a bunch of dorfs, so they got mad and declared a grudge on the mountain saying it would be stripped of anything valuable and reduced to nothing but dust like the faggot mountain it is

>I haven't used them personally but maybe tying up a unit that can't hurt it?
That's the assumption I had but they still seem to take a fair amount of damage from purely physical melee units, even some of the most basic ones, I can't see how to use them at all
>>144639164
Why are 4 lives worth 190 tails?
>>144638647
Demand Joey nudes.
alright lads so the mod which makes Mousillon only skin is almost done, I just need to make sure all the lords/heros have their custom skins unique to the faction.
which is where I have run into a problem, due to sleep depravity I had it working then proceeded to destroy the entries and I have no idea how to re-implement
so I'm still pushing for a release, BUT if somone can point me in the right direction I'd be eternally grapefruit, and possibly be able to release the mousillon version tonight if i grind it out/nothing else goes wrong.
here is a screenshot of my predicament, otherwhise I meddle around and release it soontm still
>>144638680
I dunno what you speak of. Wraiths are excellent for taking and holding walls, because of their AP damage and how long it takes to kill them with conventional units.
They're also useful for flanking and holding down especially tough units like lords or Greatswords or Chosen.
>>144639326
make it their target, start sieging. they should move up to the city and be able to reinforce.
>>144639164
There's a reason the dwarfs are falling apart
>>144639557
Hmm weird. Thats exactly what im doing but they wont join the sieges
>>144639415
No idea why they're taking damage from pure physical units. Are they crumbling from low morale? Or losing the combat?
>>144639684
Not crumbling, they were just flat out losing to basic dwarf units even with a numbers advantage, as far as I'm aware Dwarf units don't use magic based weapons, do they?
>>144639684
Ethereal is 75% physical resistance, not 100%, and wraiths have a bit more than 3000 hp on ultra unit sizes, so they still end up dying relatively quickly to other units due to their comparatively low HP.
>>144639164
>Bad-mouthing grudges

Deathmaster Snikch when?
>>144638602
Yeah, I like that. One other idea I have to impose limits is to have a sort of tech tree where you must choose if you will build a province as if it is on the frontier, focusing on stability, food, and military; or an interior territory, focusing on commerce, industry, and culture. So there is the city vs. town tree and the frontier versus interior.

You'd need some sort of limit on how enemy armies can walk in your land though, or you just get in the annoying situation of them strolling past your defenses to your cities that have 0 military or defensive capabilities

>>144640327
it fills 2 free DLC spots :^)
so from what I gather itt Grudges are amazing things that are slowly killing the Dwarf off because of how stupid they are but Dorfs believe it's the fact that they aren't settling enough grudges fast enough that is the real case of their downfall
>>144640351
They could do that now but frequently don't unless there is sea access, it's about setting up fighty zones proppa.

So you make buildings which increase your garrison, or heaven's forbid, give you towns/cities more defensible walls and fortifications. Like you could in medieval 2.
The garrison buildings in Warhammer actually add a fair number of units to hold off an attack, especially for random towns.

I was hype for gyrocopters and gyrobombers but Im not actually sure what they do in battle.
>>144640939
The Brettonnian school of thinking is "Cavalry, more cavalry, and a shit ton more cavalry. If that doesn't work, more cavalry."
So that doesn't translate well to siege defense/offense when their infantry is piss poor peasants. They need to add the dismount option back into the game.
>>144641070
They do nothing
>>144639490

>not sallying out to fuck up your attacker
We Rohirrim now
>>144640957
They're fun but like 80% of my total war enjoyment is smashing cavalry into things
>>144641308
That's actually the best way to do siege defense as Bretonnia. Line your peasants on the walls so you control all the towers to fire and sally forth with your Knights of the Realm.
>>144641130
Well for offense, you could use your peasants as bait so the enemy puts alot of infantry on the walls. Then use trebucet to break down the gate or a wall
>>144640589
Speaking of sea, I also think it'd make sense to have the interior being where you get war machines like boats and artillery. So your heartland is defensible if you build a strong navy, while the frontier is sensitive to the sea. To make that not tedious, I think they should bring back moving units in whatever size you want. I always thought it was stupid that nothing could move without a general, the inherent trade-off is that you don't get general abilities. So you rally an army at the frontier and if you anticipate a serious campaign with sieges, you build artillery and navy beforehand at your major cities near your capitol.
Do AI armies sit literally millimeters outside of your attacking range for any of you dudes? This shit is fucking absurd, chasing down armies and being steps away from engaging them every few turns is just frustrating to no end. It keeps happening, it has to be an intentional AI quirk.
>>144640939
Brets got fucked
Basically demigryphs in their current op form should be bret units not empire ones
Because empire are playable they got to be the ones with the strong cavalry gimmick

>>144641130
I think some of the smart ones are implied to realize they need some amount of foot, at least the longbowmen, and that their trebuchet are pretty credible for getting into castles, which they need since not everyone gets a flying horse. You need at least something to knock down walls so the knights can bravely charge into the breach securing eternal glory.
One of the reasons they grind the peasants into the mud so harshly is to build pretty credible castles, too. (And one of the ways they do it. Castles project power well.)
The thing is their idea of what good is and what they can make is not impregnable. The only thing that really keeps the Empire off their backs is the fact they have other problems, and it's logistically challenging to attack Brettonia. All those cannons would kick the shit out of their castle walls.
Also probably the Lady of the Lake and the Wood Elves, but isn't that true about every problem they have? It's convenient for them to exist as hitmen/a counterweight to certain parties. So they literally get divine protection from missile weapons/literal character shields. This has a game effect. They are literally harder than it should be to shoot because of MAGIC/divine favor.
>>144641536
Yeah it's annoying. They can go into march mode and you just can't catch them unless they manage to get cornered somehow, but that's unlikely
>>144641669
>inb4 we wait and it's just red paint
>old grumblers gives a Leadership bonus because the beardlings are pissed off by the Longbeards
>>144641654
Grudging seems to work as a non-lethal dispute resolution mechanism, as you have noted, but it is also incredibly silly as a means of swearing vengeance against hostile aliens, since you'll only really drag yourself into battles that are not strategically sound. Sun Tze would have a field day with the Dawi.
>inb4 another slew of grudging
>>144641308
>sallying out against the empire
>>144641536
They've been doing that since Rome 2 I believe. AI is programmed to not move into range of any army unless it thinks itself stronger. They will ALWAYS move just outside of your movement range, then when you get close, they scurry away or even past you with march stance to sack your settlements.
>>144641772
Ill be mad as fuck.
>mfw CA cocksuckers will tell everyone its perfectly fine
CA pls deliver, i dont want more shitposting bouts.
Jesus, this perfect wall break. Bretonnia really is unfinished.
I-it's just how the wall was b-built. I-it's Warhammer magic!
>>144641669
>>144641772
>>144642069
Yeah, it will likely be lame, knowing CA.
Heck, I'd be perfectly happy paying coffee money to some modders who can just include red paint/mist/ground texture/stains upon impact (or when things got stomped/eaten).
>>144642102

fuck that looks nice
HOW the fuck do I play dwarfs? I only can support one good army with catapults and crossbows. I can't get out of my 3 region starting valley because orgs start to fuck up my province once I have left.
>>144642696
Walls faggot
Is there any tactics/strategy/mods that can make the volleyblaster gun (organ gun) more useful? They can't kill/shoot for shit, very slow, have shorter range, and as equally expensive to buy and maintain as steam tanks. Oh, they also do crap damage.
I might as well get a luminark of hysh and get one shot wonder.
WTF are they for? Am I missing anything?
>>144641930
>Beardlings cowering in fear whenever they see Longbeards because they are afraid of the grumbling.
Warhammers Dwarfs have so much character. I still have a little chuckle to myself when I think of the concept of Slayers.
For those unfamiliar, Slayers are Dwarfs who have disgraced themselves/their clan/their guild/their hold/their lunch or whatever in some way, so they take the Slayer Oath, which is an oath to die in combat. They are not allowed to wear armour, they spike their hair up into a mow hawk and dye it orange so other Dwarfs can see what they are, but there is one problem with this suicide pact. Dwarfs are stubborn and proud, so although they have to go get killed in combat, they are not allowed to intentionally die. They HAVE to fight to win, no exceptions. There are some angry Slayers who wonder why they can't die, and why are they so worthless, after killing their 3rd Dragon with nothing but a couple of hand axes.
after playing Dwarfs I feel like their roster is seriously lacking in choice
I'd like to have good gyros and ironbreakers without the ridiculous C4.
I feel like it takes away from the challenge once you get allahuackbreakers.
>>144642841
Luminark is just as bad fyi
>>144642841
the worst offender here is the flame gun
it has less range and does less damage than a grudge thrower
>>144643039
Luminark looked like a meme the moment i saw it revealed.
That thing doesnt belong on the battlefield.
>>144642696
confederate, build shekel inducing buildings and intercept greenfucks until they go mind their own buisness. dwarfzkrieg a whole region , rinse& repeat
also crossbows wrecks the shit of their cavalry
>>144643039
Yeah, ive seen it in action. Just confused as to these supposed to be end game artillery/magic units and they suck ass.
At least luminark has nice fire effect compared to volleygun, which is why I said might as well. They cost similar anyway and you get better effect building the temple compared to the gunnery building.
>the invisible wall piece
all immersion is broken.
these realm knights have pretty good morale though
>>144643039
The entire concept of the Luminark just doesn't make sense in the Total War system.

thanks anon, the version that has all these graphical effects but changed the entire vc factions skins up on the workshop. hopefully in the next day or 2 I can slam out the other
>>144643192
You can tell they really didn't mean for you to actually breach the walls. Considering how little damage artillery does, and their incessant desire to have you fight for the walls.
>>144643165
>>144643143
So it also happens on other factions? I'm sorry I have yet to finish my empire campaign and have not started other factions yet.
Like I said, the high tier arty/magic units seem to suck donkey dick in this game. I still get a kick out of hellfire than organ guns.
I hope other factions' arty or magic units are much better than this, although I'm not hoping much.
>>144643268
Its supposed to be the ultimate giant/arachnarok killer
Instead it just tickles them
>>144643313
Trolls for orcs I guess. Or fanatics.
>>144643463
mortars are the way to go generally, they do insane damage to armored units
if you want to meme it up and try to get lucky shooting commanders then get cannons
>>144643508
Well yeah.
But also, in the tabletop it has the same fire rate as, like, your crossbowmen.
Here it has a fire rate of 1 shot per week or something on top of them impact being limp as shit.
>>144642334
>those graphics settings
>>144643607
actually not sure about the Empire mortar, but the Chaos one is actually insane
not unlikely for it to get 150 kills per battle on large size units
