Mods -- http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?2191-Total-War-WARHAMMER-Modifications

>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 ATTACK
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

What is the point of these enormous unit sizes in Darthmod for FotS? It is next to impossible to make good use of your units cause there's not enough space for these huge lines of infantry.

And no matter how hard you try your line infantry will be 3 lines deep, I'm not even sure the backrow is firing, even with kneel fire.

Worse yet, it's shallower.

There's a trend with games that the mechanics need to be puddle deep for people to understand them.

Yes, the AI in this game is easily exploitable.

I move my cav in to attack the enemy; they'll send 1 unit after me. If they gallop the incoming unit will reset, but you can get them to (I forget the word for walk with respect to horses) then the enemy will chase them.

Lead them right into your unit of crossbowman and you can fire on them without it activating the AI's 'attack' script. So if you have enough archers I imagine you can keep doing this til the army is defeated.

The game has been casual since empire. at least empire had a cool economic system with wealth and stuff. The only reason to play total war now is to jack off to the battles, which dont even require much micro management compared to real games.

bottom right for that +1 osmosis. it significantly helps you corrupt and maintain high corruption in your heartlands, letting it benefit you to conquer a whole shit ton and not get ass-blasted by rebellions so much. everything along the way will help your economy, if I recall correctly.

If you're talking about skills and not tech, get enough points in death to get fate of bjuna, and then roll with the top-tree for individual stats since mannfreds a one-man army.

going for the army bonuses is fine too, since it's a fast way to make your skeletons somewhat dangerous.

For me its:

Melee - I prefer the defensive shitso he can get stuck in

Vamps - get the early shit, late shit aint that great

Death - all of it no doubles though

Leadership - increased aura, only buff late game if you really want that stuff/ can afford to

Campaign - cant call it off my head but anything with corruption, always get 10% movement first level

when was the last time you played vanilla m2? what is complex about it? the game is trivial, total war games have been more or less the same since r1

at least attila has slightly better AI and nomads that are actually nomads and not just regular stacks or, even worse, settled factions

Sup guys. Just got my first paycheck of my first real post-uni job and I'm going to upgrade my computer so I can play warhammer.

Right now I get like 20fps in attila with medium to low settings so I decided to wait on Warhammer until I upgrade. The thing is I don;t know much about this stuff. I know I need new graphics card, but will I need anything else? hard drive, power supply. ram, etc?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Don't really like Attila and can't get total warhammer to work at all despite clearing the min specs , mostly playing heavily modded R2

Anyways , I found a strategy for any elephant using factions , even when massively Outnumberd I win 9/10 times
> army composition of pikes, missiles and as many elephants as you can get
> set up the pikes in a phalanx line with missiles to cover them. Place towards the back of the field , distanced from the enemy
> at the front , place the elephants and 2-3 missile units following behind
> soon as the battle starts, Rush the enemy general using trample , back them up with the missiles if the enemy had pikes or Calvary
> once the general dies, just keep them enemy occupied with elephants , the dead general + fear of elephants will route half of the army immediately
> any elephants that are losing go berserk and fuck shit up
And any surviving units that make it to your defensive line get crushed by the pikes and rear charge from any surviving elephants

Your cpu is fine, pretty much you're right with just upgrading the gpu. RAM is also fine so unless you have extra dough, you can upgrade to 16GB.

What's your budget for gpu? If you can get your hands on the latest 1070 that will be great. If not, the 970 is also budget friendly. If you wanna go AMD, get Fury or wait for the 480 (forgot the name, Polaris?)

I just dont get dwarf campaign, sailed through empire and VCs on very hard, and now i've tried like 5-6starts on dwarf hard campaign. If I leave the silver road at start with an army to do ANYTHING, some shitty orc stack (with just enough to raze my towns) just appears through the mountains.

Its so unenjoyable compared to other factions, yes its stated as "easy". The whole south of the map layout is utter fucking cancer.

Is there some meme trick to move a billion units a turn like the orcs? underway is decent, but its just not far enough compared to what you need to do, to cover the entire shithole.

No way to finance 2 armies this early in the game either

just build walls, seriously, you should build them in every single settlement, the AI will spend like 10 turns besieging it if you do, which is more than enough time to bring a force to break it

its the same for every single tww campaign, you can rush the walls quickly and its smooth sailing from that point onwards

From the logo, looks like CA went with AMD for this game for optimization, but the game is optimized enough and perform better than previous game (Attila) on both cards.

It's really up to you which one you want to get. AMD has probably less support in terms of drivers and sometimes performance can suffer because of it (or because bullied by NVidia), but price-wise its the more cost efficient.

Nvidia is the bigger options, usually more expensive. It has much better driver support, more proprietary tech (Amsel, PhysX, gameworx) that supposedly work well with nvidia cards but not with amd cards and generally better performance. Just be wary of the card you bought being called obsolete as soon as the next one comes out, which is why if your budget is under $500, try get 1070 as it is priced around 400 and it is a monster of a card.

Fine, let's make a list, shall we:

Atilla adds:
Provinces (as in - bonuses when you get the whole set)
(slightly)better AI (altho it's been so bad, that's not all that much...)
(nomads are timeframe-specific & thus not an issue)

It leaves out:
Agents drop to 3 from 4/6 in R1 / M2
Limited building space in towns & build it all in 1 turn vs. build everything 1 part at a time for 3 or 4 turns per building.
Auto-Army refit vs. (at least slightly realistic) having to go back to a town that can refit your battered troops
(meme) Troop mass (or lack of) / ghost passages / paired combat (inb4 here we go again) vs. 1 peasant should not be able to hold up 10 charging Knights for more than 0.1 second - let alone 10)
Timer / timelock on the 'special abilities' vs. passive special abilities (i.e. always turned on)
General's abilities tied to his actions (how & what he does) and not picking abilities from the f&$%ing Swedish table.

This is not DOTA, people!

This!
Is!
Total!

what? buildings dont take 1 turn in attila, your post is so poorly worded I am not sure I'm reading it right
>(meme) Troop mass (or lack of) / ghost passages / paired combat (inb4 here we go again) vs. 1 peasant should not be able to hold up 10 charging Knights for more than 0.1 second - let alone 10)
literally all memes, mass is an actual stat in Attila which is why camels were extremely OP before their mass was HALFED. And why even if you removed weapon damage from heavy shock cav it still killed enemies with just the charge itself
1v1 is just animations, it has no effect on damage calculations, more than that attila actually has 2v1 and more animations, I've seen them personally and CA made a video explaining it

>(slightly)better AI (altho it's been so bad, that's not all that much...)
compared to completely broken med2 AI its actually a big deal, its still bad, but at least it glitches out A LOT less often than med2, try it go into the inner keep in a castle siege in med2, 9/10 the AI will just sit under towers until its dead
while in Attila it actually leaves troops behind to block off streets if you have units ready to flank

The 1070 and 1080 cards (10 series) are really difficult to get as it just came out a few weeks ago. Good luck getting one. Depending on where you are, probably better luck try to buy it online. If you currently can run attila, you can definitely run warhammer at the same (if not a bit better) quality.

Depends on what race you're up against to be honest. Matchups based on what you think their army might look like, taking into consideration that they're wondering what your army's going to be like.

As much as I like TW:W I feel like it is Napoleon. A "half" game. I've played a few campaigns as all the main factions and completed the objectives. Done them on higher difficulties and seen pretty much everything.

I like pouring loads of hours into TW games. I have hundreds of hours on M:TW2. All the mods etc. This game feels so small on this launch. The world feels tiny. Once you've tried it all the buzz of the diverse factions really loses its flavour.

Just the same process of defeating subfactions then moving on. I dunno, you could accuse past games of feeling quite linear but I always felt like you could do different, wacky stuff.

Shame now that it will just be DLC upon DLC and then some expansions.
