>skullsmashers still smashin skulls 150 turns in
Those are some tough orcs
If I use an agent to destroy a building in an enemy town, let's say Walls, or the "Town" Structure itself or a Garrison upgrade, does that remove the Garrison as well or damage them?
Some of these early cities as Empire are ridiculously hardened, and usually a 20 stack squats in them forever. I'd like to take Wissenland early on, but I don't know how I'll deal with them with one army.
My other one is busy with Marienburg shits atm.

First time playing dwarves after some Empire playthroughs.
What are the equivalant hero types?
Which ones are good/bad?
Thanes=Captains
Runesmiths=Battle Priests
Engineers=??
Other advice would be helpful as well. I plan on focusing on ranged units mostly.
Who else /stillontheirfirstcampaign/ here?
>not playing on Ultra unit-size
So this is how it ends...
Karak Norn for absolutely no fucking reason betrays his high king, and the once friendly mountains spew orcs into the empire while Karl Franz is forced to deal with the traitor dwarf.
Can't say I'm that upset that the game is giving an end-game challenge, tbqh

just wish Grimgor would look closer to his miniature.
he's always been a "lean"(read: lean for a massive black orc warboss) muscle packed but fast monster.
He looks fine in the game, but I guess I imagined him a bit dofferent
>>144724025
Western Dwarfs are legit retarded in all aspects. I blame it on being surrounded by manlings on all sides.
>>144723815
I'd be pretty surprised, if I were Thorgrim this shit would be grudge number 1, only thing worse than greenskins destroying your kingdom is a race traitor.
>>144723874
The great crusade was anything but comfy, but it was worth it to close the chaos rifts and rebuild Kislev.

Why am I not surprised.
bump with my screenshots
>>144724262
let's get some action shots, famalamadingdong
>>144724170
Happened to me in my Empire playthrough. Karak Hirn or Izor declared on the Grudgebearer (or the other way around), and we naturally sided with Thorgrim. About 3 turns later, after we razed half their settlements to ash, they suddenly became Dwarf settlements and my diplomatic relations took a massive hit. Had to pay that old jew 2K a turn for the next 30 turns or so to stop relations going into the negative. (this was after we'd wiped out Norsca and Chaos)
>>144724313

finally wounded him with my cannons but the other general was magically at 100% hp at the beginning of the battle so I'm still going to lose
>>144724025
>>144724170
Karak Norn also wanted to be my vassal.
>>144724567
>>144724046I'm just bullshitting, I'm an autist that doesn't want to rearrange buildings
>Chaos rifts left behind from raiding don't spread corruption

Is Karak Norn the Sweden of Warhammer?
>>144724698
>>144724567
>>144724405
>>144724614
I'm not even a dwarf and this triggers me something ferocious. My resolve to raze these mountains has doubled.
>>144724804
Get the Chaos Rifts spread corruption mod, I found it weird that they actually made a special ruin for chaos and had it do jack diddly squat. This makes stopping chaos a real priority.
>>144724804
>>144725065
I thought the rifts DID spread corruption, on account of one of my northern provinces surrounded by rifts having +15 chaos corruption due to 'buildings and commandments'.
>>144722102
What would you guys say is the strongest and weakest factions?
I have a friend who thinks the vampire counts are too weak because of the attrition they suffer, but I don't think it's that bad.
>>144725256
Attrition is damaging, but not the main problem: the main problem is the public order penalty in uncorrupted provinces, and also the negative diplomacy modifier of Aversion.
>>144725173
yeah when the scum raised the capital in ostermark it spread corruption like crazy
i think only capital rifts do it

really thinking about the mod that removes the Chaos Invasion alltogether, does it work properly?
>>144725437
I got a mod that delays chaos, but ever since I've used it, for some reason the entire Empire gets btfo by the first wave
>>144725256
>because of attrition
you can reach most cities from others in 1 turn i rarely if ever suffer attrition with them
their biggest issue is the lack of ranged units which is the most reliable way to take out big things atmi also really dislike their leadership system even though it usually works in their advantage
>>144725256
>Vampire counts isn't good meme is back
Campaign wise, VC is really fucking easy, just tedious. Empire probably has a harder time in campaign. In multiplayer battles, Chaos is the weakest, and Empire is the strongest.
>>144725548
i think that mod also doubles the amount of stacks produced anon
is there any difference in magic ability between hero and lord magic users, and is there a site that hosts all the unit stats, the wiki is not very detailed
>>144725693
Oh shit, that probably explains it
I had a dorf campaign, came over the hills and saw humanity had fallen, seeing the same in my orc campaign
>>144725715
It's unclear at this point. Though, if lords can do it, they SEEM to do it a bit better than heros. That said plenty of heros have unique abilities in on themselves.
>>144725392
I meant to mention the public order, but I couldn't remember the term.
It's a bit of a shame that the penalty is so high, because I like the theme of the counts the best.
>>144725397
I suppose I'll stick with Greenskins, then. They're my second favourite in theme, and they're pretty fun to play, too.
>play as chaos
>raze all of bretonnia
>estalia takes over the ruins, mousillon does fucking nothing
When they add the beastmen the beastmen should have a primary focus on bretonnia and athel loren because otherwise Bretonnia just seems like nothing happens there and everything is retarded

Declared war on me for no apparent reason in a previous campaign and sent a stack to sack Grunburg. Ran back to their hold afterwards and requested peace, offering payment.
What the fuck is this faction's problem?
>>144726009
I'm convinced Karak Norn is either skaven/gobbos in disguise
Watch yourselves, aroundKarak Norn
>>144725956
what's wrong with chaos ?
i've only played 4 mp games
>The largest hold in the Grey Mountains is Karak Norn (“Barren Earth Hold”). Populated by displaced clans from the fallen hold of Mount Silverspear and the watchtowers of Mad Dog Pass, Karak Norn sits on the only sizeable deposits of metal and semiprecious stones in the Grey Mountains. The Dwarfhold is strategically placed with its upper level visible on a plateau high above the Loren Forest. This enables the Dwarfs to monitor the activities of the Wood Elves of Loren, albeit from a considerable distance. While the Elves haven’t been a threat for over 4,000 years, and the grudge against the Elves was officially settled with the taking of the Phoenix Crown, the Dwarfs see no harm in vigilance.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Karak_Norn
That explains it, sinceWood Elves still not announced, the manlets think that everyone is an elf and go berserk.
>>144726168
They're pretty much just overpriced and less versatile than the other races. Chosen are great, but almost never worth it for 1500 a pop. Chaos warriors tend to pale in comparison to grave guard, or great swordsmen, not to mention black orcs. Forsaken and chaos spawn are pretty good, but "pretty good" doesn't cut it against turtling dwarves, rush-snipe greenskins, even the knights of bretonnia mess them the fuck up. They're actually ok against VC, but VC has way more tools to deal with other races than them.
I don't think I have to mention empire in detail.
>>144726281
>swears fealty to a greenskin because elves shreked him 4000 years ago
makes sense, Dwarfs are literally that retarded
>>144726009
Yes they did that to me as well, right under a wave of chaos invasion. Fuck those stunted assholes, now Mannfred himself is going around razing every single one of their karaks, just got their main force, 2 stacks hiding in some shithole karak. Now I will have to seek out the rest of them in their holes in some mountain range.
Is this what it felt for U.S. after 911?

Neither, it's fuckingTakeda Shingen.

It's literally always Shingen.
Reminder to raze Karak Norn to the ground in every campaign, regardless of faction
Why is there a Spearman unit, and a shielded spearman unit? Is it like in other games, where shielded units will prioritize blocking arrows and will attack less?
>>144727056
That fucker.
>>144727093
can't wait to raze it as Wood Elves
>>144727114
Shields pretty much just protect from missiles. Un-shielded guys are cheaper.
Do I intervene, or do I wait for one faction to beat the other, and then go in for the kill after when one side is weakened?

Take it while it's weak.

About to start my first serious Chaos playthrough after beaitng or coming close to beating the campaign for everyone else.
I'll be playing on Hard, any tips revolving what buildings to make, and whether or not to Sack/Raze near the beginning?
I'll be using Archaon.
>>144722472
Headbutt him
Should I be paying more attention tactically with orcs rather than just rushing the enemy lines with big 'uns and grimgor, it seems to work fine for the most part

>>144727959
>Tomb Kings have special mechanics where they can't occupy any cities outside of nehekhara
>>144727981
Rush Horde Growth and build the Chaos Warrior building ASAP so you can start tossing away your marauders.
Then you can do whatever you like.
Are there any good mods that fix balance?
>>144728149
Radious :^)
>>144727981
always sack/raze mane
the only possible exception being that you're being chased by a strong stack
also always awaken the tribe and immediately attack them again to make them into a vassal
it's also worth not awaking a tribe until you capture the capital settlement in a region
>>144727981
Just grab Tribes of Chaos and sack everything, only raze if you want to destroy the faction.
I like to rush Chaos Warshrine with maybe the cannon building to avoid sieging for a turn, or alternatively the reduction upkeep building. If you upgrade that reduction upkeep building and have two Exalted Heroes with Exemplar close by, you can pretty much recruit rank 9 units at any time, which is helpful since you'll be doing a lot of merging and re-recruiting.
>>144728149
FOTE
>>144725256
In multiplayer the tier list is something like this:
>Empire
>Greenskins
>Dwarves
>VC
>Chaos
In singleplayer, who gives a fuck? You can win with anything. The difficulty comes from the starting locations and, in that department, Empire has the hardest start while Dwarves have the easiest.
Can someone explain what lightning strike is to me? I haven't been able to find anything that adequately describes what it means and the description is shit.
>>144728306
Its night battles from previous TW titles
>>144728306
It's basically like night battles from Shogun 2. If you're attacking an army that has a reinforcing stack next to it, using lightning strike means you can isolate the one army, but you also go without your own reinforcements.

>>144729354
>tfw shitposting
>tfw even though first anon was shitposting his opinion is still correct
>>144729820
No matter how big and bad those forces are I doubt they match 8 steam tanks. Going by their performance in battle when I've used them against VC, one steam tank is equivalent to about 1000 zombies, and that is without the ward save buff. Add the demi-gryphs on top of that and your stack is more like the equivalent of 4 stacks

Eventually I found out that spamming mounted archers absolutely destroys the AI's armies of skeletons and zombies, letting me conquer Mousillon. No idea where to go now though. I'm in an alliance with all 3 of my immediate neighbors and I'm not sure how buttmad people will be if I attack Bastonne.
>the double garrison mod has been deleted, problably because the author used donald trump as his mod image
So what the fuck am I supposed to do now. The AI could actually stand up against eachother because of the mod.

So, Hadrian?
>>144731870
Model importer/exporter won't arrive until a few months from now.
Also, it's been two weeks after launch, it's still pretty early to ask for DLC.
Needs a patch though. They might be waiting for proper feedback from the multiplayer community for that.
>>144731927
Well for starters the AI did better against Skaelings and Vargs, so that's always a plus. Only downside with the mod was that the max limit of a garrison is of course 20, which meant that some lower tier units ended up pushing out high tier units from the garrison.
There are only two mods left that I know of that reworks garrisons, but they're only for dorfs and empire, and the rest hasn't been done yet.
>>144731978

>>144731104
I did exactly that, and both Bretonnia and One of the dwarfen factions declared on me. I managed to pay them both off though, but If I didn't have the money the dwarfs would have fucked me up while I was fighting Marienburg. I'm sure more factions would have declared war if I didn't secure all the NAPs I could manage.
>>144731870
talking about sales, are there any numbers on how well it sold?
>>144732263
>still not knowing that magic is completely useless at ultra unit size
Well, I'm playing on Medium and some spells are still shit. Like the entire Lore of Metal. I mean, holy shit. Final Transformation is pretty good though against lategame troops like greatswords and chosen, but every spell besides that is terrible. The buffs and hexes need to be AoE for them to be any good.
>>144732362
All we know is that its the fastest selling Total War to date and it has equal number of players that R2 had at its peak.

I saved the world from chaos and yet every faction despises me on VC(normal). It's my first campaign and being forced to conquer and reclaim the whole of the empire for un death.

TRIGGERED
>>144732714
Norscans don't build anything, they get armies for free that spawn. Really wish they weren't triple silver promoted though.
Would be a lot more fun if they had this mechanic where a small raiding army of 5-10 units just sit around in your land a few turns, then return back home to Norsca. Basically just a raiding party sent out to sack and cause shit instead of these invading 20 man doomstacks all the time.
>>144722529
Slayers win against normal Savage orc boys, but only barely, by the time the boy break the HP bar is pretty much dead even, I wish there was a add magic items to your lords in custom battles so I could make the boys unbreakable.
Slayers get torn to shreds by Savage Big 'Uns.
>>144732362
by the time the numbers are said and done, this will be the fastest selling, and most sold TW game ever
>still no DLC

It hasn't even been out for a month yet and already you folk are frothing over not having enough DLC.
Are you also some of the same crows that go ballistic and angry when told that DLC is to be there on release?
>>144732876
They would have to return to Norsca if scared off by a large army though. Force marching around forever is just stupid, even if I can catch them with the movement buff in own territory mod.
>>144733061
>wanting DLC at all
Anybody else already going back to some of the older TWs?
Re-playing through a Caesar in Gaul campaign right now, lots of fun.
TW:Warhammer is a lot of fun, I just feel like I need a break from it and I've already experienced a lot of what it has to offer.
I've played Rome 2, Shogun 2, and Attila to death but going back to them feels like a breath of fresh air right now.

HELP first total war game ever and I'm getting curbstomped on easy at ~turn 10-25 (empire) and getting wrecked as orcs in the first few turns
>play game, finally decide to fuck over """ally""" thats been fucking me
>Out of nowhere Milliefield or some shit all the way across the map decides they don't like me and declare war out of me
>Out of nowhere a full stacked army takes 2 of my cities in 2 turns
>Go back to defend with my main army, breaking the siege
>Its army is so big it whipes my main army
>No units, 1 city and its humburg or something (not even main city in the province)
>He comes up to me and fucking wants """peace"""
Any tips?

I don't care that the AI cheats, I care that its so painfully obvious and overblown.
This shit is as bad as those fuckers in Shogun2, with 2 doomstacks supported by a single low level town on the 1st 10 turns
>>144731870
It has only been 2 weeks.
Though you would THINK they could have at least put out a fix for shit like the magic and arty damage scaling issue.
>Several Dwarven stacks just tunneling all around the mountains with no chance of catching them
>>144733918
It's like this fanbase is more than one person, but that's just silly!
>>144734054
>arty damage scaling issue.
There is no issue with arty scaling apart from like 1 or 2 units
>>144732247
>>144732170
cairn wraiths ~40% health of grave guards
hex wraiths ~58% health of black knights
75% physical resistance means armor piercing (which fucking half the shit in the game has) doesn't work on them
don't believe every memen you semen
>>144734073
>he can't catch stunties in the hills
>>144734054
wait it affects arty to ?
i still don't get how they managed to fuck it up that badly
i mean all they had to do for the aoe spells was : attack does x amount of damage per model hit
>>144734125
There's no reason not to lump them together since it appears to be the same issue.
Also Artillery needs to be fixed anyway, 80% of artillery units are hot fucking garbage.
Any essential skills for Grimgor, boyz?
>>144734097
yeah yet those are always the most upvoted comments on any ca video
it's almost like general trends exist or something , but that's just silly
>threw all my resources at taking Mount Gunbad as early as possible
>Bloody Spears and Red Fangz stacks tunnel into Silver Road and knock it out in under 2 turns
>Now I'm stuck at sieging Mount Gunbad with my short dwarfen arse hanging out
That was a short campaign.
>>144734237
I dunno, everyone says mortars for empire are shit but I like to use them to roll back shitty undead clumps with careful ground targetting.
>>144734125
>all arty gets more cannons the larger the unit size

at least they are unbreakable thanks CA

Perfection.

Whats your steam?

>>144733268
I feel like playing Attila sometimes. The gameplay is just so best, and it has formations and shit. I love TWW but i'm not hyper interested until the updates starts rolling out, and the multiplayer is offensively shallow.
>>144734237
i dunno i feel like they're alright they're basically what arty was in every other total war : a nuisance that forces the opponent to charge you insantly , with the added benefit that now they're also useful at taking out big fuckers . they're useless atm because a unit of demigryphs will do the same thing but better and destroy everything else while they are at it
seriously fuck those things i feel like cav in general should die to artillery way faster
>>144734747
The real issue is the short-ranged stuff, the Hellblaster and the Organ Guns, and ESPECIALLY the fucking flame cannon.
They have pitiful range and just don't do nearly enough when shit does get within range.

Is there any way to be able to change town and unit names in multilayer? Even through a mod?
>>144734412
You're supposed to kill all your enemies' standing armies before you go conquer something.
Every faction starts with armies.
That's how war works, you find the enemy and kill them, so they can't put up resistance and you dictate the terms of their continued existence.
Don't feel bad, it's not just you that does this, but fix yourself now.
>>144733919
don't be sad
>>144731978
>monsters are bad
dude, crypt horrors are fucking god tier
>wraiths has 75% physical protections but 75% less health
Low HP is good for the regen spell. I'm pretty sure the heal spell heals a set amount of HP, as I've risen entire wraith units from the fucking grave with it. They still need to be buffed though.

Don't worry too much, I'll get better at understanding the campaign map/units eventually, the battles themselves are going fine as it is, wish there were more interesting maps to battle/strategize on though.
Time to start a dwarven campaign
>>144731978
monsters aren't bad at all
a unit of chaos spawns can break a tie
>>144734489
DESIGNATED
>>144735149
>They still need to be buffed though.
Dunno, the few times I've used them they broke formations like butter thanks to terror.
>>144734971
My lord.
>>144735003
>>144735067
Exactly.
>>144735262
Yeah that is true, but their damage is so underwhelming.
>>144735149
i know guys, it was a list of badmemes
VC is my favourite faction, monsters are fun as fuck
tfw now waiting for warhammer armies that actually play into the gimmicks I like in total war
>>144732907
Custom items and banners need to be added. More options and army customization = more gooder
WHERE IS THE PATCH CA
WHERE IS THE FUCKING PATCH SHITHEAAAAAAAAADS

>>144736027
Hopefully
I wouldn't mind if it was just semi viable but pistoleers are useless and outriders seem to do little either
>>144735984
Literally Chaos.
>>144735691
Ah. Do you use Varghulfs? Are they shit? They feel shit.
>>144736023
Yes, it's funny how they started making games based on a universe they killed off. Are they mocking us?
I really hope they realize what an opportunity they missed out on

I went into one of those Games Workshop stores looking for Karl Franz on Deathclaw.
>nope sorry, all got chopped last year
>buy these expressionless gold robot armies instead
They fucked up.
>>144736094
well outriders don't have parthian shot.
>>144736096
Marauder armies aren't viable and they only piss off anons because they inflict more casualties than the usual ai rush armies on static brainless formations.
>>144736023
It's hilarious, they still have some fantasy shit but you have to guess what the Age of Sigmar rebranding for your army is
Like if I wanted to get a black coach I have to go Age of Sigmar>Death Grand Alliance>Nighnaut
And then it's out of stock here anyway
They've lost so many sales from fantasy being dead, I know for a fact that I'd spend loads on it just to make models after this game.
However I'm not doing that now because they've changed styles for age of sigmar and the game they've created has no appeal to me
>>144736168
I never really used them, they're probably okay, the only real issue is their leadership, but unless you're losing a battle that shouldn't really be a huge issue. I think it's more useful to just use other things, like you're probably better off just sticking in crypt horrors or vargheists or something instead. But it's not like you have to play this game super optimally or anything, I make fairly shit armies when I could just make OP ones because they're more fun to play with.
>>144736247
>Karl clearly the face of the game (GW actually wanted this)
>has no models to buy because he got killed off for Sigmar
Hilarious
>>144735984
High elves will be your thing
>>144736470

Might be able to buy it off someone who had it back in the day I guess.
>>144736569
There's some up on ebay here in the uk
>>144736190
>>144736247
It takes a special kind of retard to fuck it up like GW did. Complete absence of reality. I can't get my head around this. I never had any intentions to get into tabletop but i really wanted to just buy a few miniatures and paint them and have them around to look pretty, but noooo.
ANY other company would realize their mistake and put Fantasy back on the shelves, but it's GW we're talking about. I'm not sure.
You fantasy shitters can whine and whine, but the fact is age of Sigmar is more successful than fantasy ever was and makes up 40% of GW sales
>144736723
(You)
Anyone else pleasantly surprised to see this?

CA actually recommending mods which improve their own game, recognising that some design choices such as 10% movement in your own province and multiple legendary lord starts.
It's not full mod support but it does bode well for the relationship between CA and the modding community in the years to come.
>>144736704
It's like they hate both money and people.
>>144736623
>>144736569
You can still buy it from GW, but I recommend literally anything else then buying from GW directly, buy from your FLGS. Head over to /tg/ and ask for help in the /whfb/ general.https://www.games-workshop.com/en-SE/Karl-Franz-on-Deathclaw
