Agents? Which are the best. Which are useless?
I know the dwarf engineer is fantastic for softening up cities before you hit them. Slow dwarves love the enemy having no working towers.
VC agents. Banshee for assassination and Wight King in the army. But what are necromancers and vampires good for?
"Buy the new Animations Pack for only $4.99"
>>144948435
Necromancers are good for MONEY
Vampires are good for fapping and Lore of Death
>>144948435
Vampire for VC is also nice for that leech spell
What FW units do you want to see added, /twg/?
>>144948454
>excuse me, just clipping through
>>144948234
>>144948234
send tunes
>>144948435
banshees are god tier, assassination and block army are basically the two most useful things in an agent, AND they can make holes in walls, which as VC is great because all your units are melee so you wanna git in there

I'm using QT vampires for combat for the first time, and I was wondering if it's worth giving them horses?
>>144948980
Yes to better keep them out of combat. They're supposed to be spamming Fate of Bjuna + Spirit Leech, not fighting

>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!
>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)

Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

They do fine in combat, don't listen to the min/maxers. They also can give you a huge boost to unit replenishment like Warrior Priests.
>>144949345
I was just joking about 100%, but my fire mage has blown himself up 3-4 times in a row every battle I use him in.

Ignore no-fun-allowed minmaxers, vampires are perfectly fine in melee, just remember that vampires can heal themselves
A steed means you are getting fucked by anti-large, but you get stun immunity and better mobility so choose if it's worth it
>>144950104
VC have some of the worst campaign goals(unless you play orcs and forgot that you needed raiding income to win)
you gotta
>control 20 provinces
>defeat the empire, dwarves, and bretonnia
>defeat chaos
>have corruption all over the place
>>144950243
Raiding income wasn't even a problem for me. I realized that sacking didn't count towards it so I set up 3 armies in raiding stance and ended turn 4-5 times and finished my campaign.

Which Chaos Knights do people prefer, with or without lances?
>>144950871

How does splash damage work? For example, if Grimgor deals 1000 damage on hit, will he kill infantry units in 6-7 hits on ultra?

>>144951537
it gives regen like master of undead in 45m radius and -10 melee att/ -15 melee defense in 30m radius
it needs tweaking, but it's already a huge improvement
I'll put it up on workshop later so I can get some feedback.
Alright friends, after playing a bunch of the Empire I really want to go back and play some Medieval 2 and fuck people up with Heavy Cavalry.
Does anyone have any tips? I'm pretty new to the game and I'm probably playing as France.

Before Warhammer Fantasy was killed off I were really close to buy a bunch of those and a doombull converted to a Fimir king or something and use them as Throgg and chaos trolls, maybe throwing in some giants and other monsters as well.
Damn you GW
is Karl Franz literally retarded, he has SIX stacks of units, four of which are full, and they're just sitting around doing absolutely nothing while the forces of Chaos and Norsca annihilate the good citizens and raze their towns to the ground, shit, he doesn't even have to contest with the Vampire Counts, I'm dealing with them, on top of defeating three chaos armies so far. I've finally bothered setting war co-ordination targets for him, but I mean, it's less "war co-ordination" and "karl you realize half your country has been burned to the ground, maybe send your giant armies to do something about it".
>>144952067
Killing FB in June after CA announced TWW in April was the most retarded move possible
>>144951824
>>144951918
>>144952001
Exactly. I am currently on my VC hard playthrough. Dwarfs (the few that are still alive) and orcs are running all around my lands and not once did they attack me. Only when enemy can muster 3 stacks do they dare to start a siege. And if they do they stay in it long enough for my own stack to come to aid and run them down.

No, I agree on that some of the previous games sucked, and that the company behind the backstory sucks. But by presenting that information I don't get a free card for my third opinion being truth.

There's butthurt. And there's being amused by the disjointed ramblings of an insane bitter communist who doesn't seem to know anything about what he's supposedly talking about.
We're the latter option by the way ivan. Now go back to killing yourself with badly distilled vodka made out of your wifes latest stillborn.

Wait until you get handgunners. And I don't mean that in a good way.

Yeah, not much you can do about it. Cavalry charges are especially grating, even more so when trying to do it from behind a running enemy.
I just wanted to note that the WASD complaint was silly.
>>144954820
Nah, I just alt F4'd after my very first siege battle. I remember having this problem when I first tried playing the game last year but I was hoping that I was just being a shitter.
Sadly the unresponsiveness actually felt worse than before after playing so much Warhammer recently.
>>144954843
Yeah, it's a silly complaint now that I know I could change the keybinding. I didn't play long enough to realize that though. It was just one fairly annoying thing among several other grating problems.

Reposting here then
Some things I've notriced about magic and have question about.
is there any reason to double upgrade your spells? all it says it does is reduce cooldown...so fucking what? I've never been in a battle where I went "oh man I wish I could cast fate of bjuna 10seconds earlier".
And it's not like you spam the same spells anyway. completely useless afaik. Should instead upgrade the damage/reduce cost of casting or some other benefit.
And what about overcasting. again it says it has a bigger effects area on most spells (some are different when overcast though) but does it do more than that? I cast that ressurect undead spells overcharged on two black knights who were at literally one (1) model left in both uniits and it damn near healed them to full unit size again. I have no idea if that was due to overcast or just the regular effects of the spell.
please respond

>>144957337
The tool tips for upgraded spells are absolutely shit and tells you nothing.
Apparently, if you look through the game data, you'll find that some spells get increases effectiveness when upgraded and others do not. Fireball, for example, get a 100% increase to damage when upgraded, from 350 damage with 350 AP damage, to 700 damage and 700 AP damage.

How do you solve public order problem on a VH campaign?
I'm getting rebellions every turn and building ale houses to keep the fucking place happy does bugger all when I'm losing 15-17 order a turn repeatedly. The only thing that works is stationing an army in the area but then I can't expand.

You don't
You use rebels to level grimgor and get a waaagh goin
>>144957702
>invited by a dwarf faction
I hate this, in my empire playthrough the orks invited Marienburg to attack me
>>144957829
OI U GIT!! ITZ WAAAAAGH TIME!
Just ignore public order, sack settlements and build more orc boys. Rebellions are just more XP for your lords.
>>144957806
If you get -15 public order it sounds like you're having issues with raiding or corruption. You only get -4 public order from playing on VH and -4 from taxes, so the remaining -7 must come from somewhere separate to your difficulty setting.
>>144957645
tht is so stupid. FFS can someone make a guide for which spells to upgrade and put it in the OP?

Are vh win cheevos dependent on campaign or battle difficulty, or both
>>144957829
You build the public order building in every settlement.
It's basically a money building for greenskins given how you have to stop extorting money quite a lot when you're conquering new territories.

Don't people who play FB tabletop just ignore GW's faggoty and just carry on playing it anyway? OK, so they may have ended the world in the lore (probably the stupidest fucking decision ever) but the rules and everything are still there to keep playing it if you want, all that's really changed is GW saying the world's blown up and we're starting a new game, but that doesn't really mean shit desu.

But many players either couldn't or wouldn't do that, so their main source of games were the quick matches in the game stores. The whole system getting discontinued will only make finding a game harder and harder as time goes by.

Back to pol with you. And take a detour through /a/ to drop off your anime pics.
So I got Azhag his wyvern and he went from being a badass in melee with spells to kind of meh. Skullmuncha just seems really slow to attack. He gets around the map quickly sure, but once he actually gets into combat he hardly seems to do any damage. Anyone else find it a bit underwhelming? Are all large mounts like that or does Azhag just suck?

So I'm trying to play some multiplayer since I haven't played any yet and it says the host's game is different than mine. This means I have mods he doesn't, right?
Also what the fuck why is there literally only 3 existing lobbies that aren't passworded, full, or in progress?
>>144958706
The word you are looking for is "voyeur", chap. "Cuckold" is generally restricted to if the woman is your wife, girlfriend, etc.
>>144958272
No flow of new players, no going forward with new or updated models and rules, etc. They usually released new rules with a 4 years gap while continuously updating the armies.
Also from a modelling perspective, all the models are sold with round bases which are larger and makes it way harder to line the models up in formations, thereby ruining a large aspect of the game. And yes, they stopped producing the square bases so you either would have to rip your precious models off their old bases or get new models altogether...
Considering how GW is acting I'd be surprised if they are still around in 10 years, and I couldn't care less as of today
I notice in the Steam reviews that one of the common complaints about the game is the lack of "matched combat animations".
I always thought people hated those and that they were game-breaking. What gives?
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 actually managed to gain a military alliance with the dwarfs during my VC campaign on hard. They offered me a non aggro pact , then a trade deal, then a defensive alliance then a full military alliance. Not sure why they started liking me so much but I wasn't going to complain about it.
>>144958375
In Sylvania you are cattle, although relatively well treated cattle. Apart from the Bretonnian peasants they are fed, not inbred and have warm houses.
Sylvania has an incredibly low crime rate, because if you do anything you'll probably be vampire food at the end of the day. But if you go by your day and follow the laws nothing bad will happen

You mean in 15 years of total war there are people with different opinions on a topic?
>>144958941
People are retarded. They always assumed that animations somehow affected the combat calculations instead of being the other way around.
On the other hand, I'm not sure it would be feasible to have matched animation in a game like this where the size of the soldiers can vary so much.

Seems like such a retarded business move to me. A well loved brand and they just sink it like that? Does anyone really give a fuck about age of sigmar? I can't think of a much bigger way to say fuck you to your customers really. If I was a boss at a GW store I'd personally be allowing FB games anyway, fuck them if they tried to stop me.

The REAL issue with the combat is even a grande battle between two high tier 20 unit stacks always ends up being a 10 minute wild clickfest. Very short battles!
>>144958786
Quick battles for easy multiplayer. Never many lobbies up for me.
I hope they expand the multiplayer options a bit eventually. Painting armies or customizing lords and heroes and bringing in banners would be tops. It feels archaic and empty at the moment

There's also a distinct lack of Black Orc Archers and Black Forest Goblin Spider Rider Big 'Un Archers.

Well, >>144959175 puts it a bit harshly, but you have to remember that Sylvania's geography is not the best place for peaceful farming, due to the warpstone and undead and such.
You have to bear in mind that while Vlad's rule was better than von Drak's and certain more barbaric lords in the Empire and Bretonnia, Vlad /was/ only the ruler of Sylvania until Mannfred stole his ring. Furthermore, Vlad didn't personally administer all of Sylvania, and any of the good he did must be viewed in light of the excesses of his vassals, and possibly the madness of Konrad.
If you wanted to play Vampire's advocate, I'd suggest looking to the Lahmians.
>>144959216
Nope. They declared war on me but the border Princes and other dwarf holds have been acting like a buffer and I've not seen then at all yet. In fact I sacked Karak Kadrin a couple of times and fought the other two Dwarf factions just south of the empire and VC lands but they don't seem to give a fuck about that. Think I just got lucky and was at war and taking hero actions against people they didn't like at a few points.

How are they going to check up on you though? Do it after hours, make sure an area manager or whatever isn't going to be swinging by and make sure your customers are cool and aren't going to snitch on you for some reason and I don't see how they can find out.

In my headlore a grande battle should last at least 15 minutes.

>>144958765
Anyone got any idea why Azhag and his mount were so underwhelming? I wasn't really impressed at all. I thought he did better in a fight on foot to be honest. Or does he wreck shit for others and I was just using him wrong or something?
>>144959282
Back to whom? Myself? Well, sure
>>144960049
You use Azhag for sprit leech and fate of BJuna, and that's it
>>144960005
Hmm... Fair enough. Seems kind of shitty though. If my boss was letting customers play FB games I'd have to be a real faggot to grass him up to corporate about it. I mean seriously, wheres the harm? People spend a fucking fortune over the years to play your game then you just turn round and say "nuh uh, your not allowed to play that any more". What a crock of shit. I'm getting mad just thinking about it and I've not played warhammer in years. Even then it was 40k about 15 years ago.

If you snitch you could become management

I guess. Guess I'm just not a big enough of a cocksucker to do that, wouldn't cross my mind really. Fuck it, I guess it'll mean GW are going to go down the pan eventually, right? Right?
Any rumours of them finally killing off the 40k universe at any point? Is it still profitably enough to justify keeping alive?
The ironic thing is of course that with TW:W there's probably as much interest in the FB universe as theres ever been. I found myself thinking about looking into it again but remembering it was dead as dillinger now. Guess it means GW won't be getting my cash after all. Other than the licence from CA of course.

Warhammer fantasy was making less than paint, waiting on a video game to reinvigorate interest isnt safe business practice. I still think they chose the wrong option, but 40k is in no danger because its there highest profit giver.

Back in old editions, when bloodline mattered, if you played as von carstein you were allowed to take human skirmishers/archers to show that the people of sylvania saw them as legitimate rulers despite being undead horrors.

They aren't about playing games, they're about selling miniatures.
Well guys, I just got this game a few days ago. Is it just me or is it the best TW in a while? Maybe I'm a filthy casual but I'm actually having fun with this one. It's not so much been dumbed down, more streamlined. Good game overall I'd say.

>Sadly the unresponsiveness actually felt worse than before after playing so much Warhammer recently.
>>144954727
>That's neat but the units still feel incredibly unresponsive compared to Warhammer or Shogun 2.
I feel like that's why the battle in the newer ones have become a lot quicker. units are more responsive to your orders and thus tend to not get bogged down as often. that could also be the reason Med 2 units feel like they have "weight".
