>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

But Bretonnia exists in the lore supplements released during the last edition, it's just barely touched on and most events that occur there are glanced over entirely.
So a hackjob half-roster is appropriate regarding lore accuracy.
I only care about it from a gameplay and thematic perspective. I just find your justification obnoxious. You can justify a lot of shit if you're sourcing from older material.
Vampires are just arrogant twats who completely forget subtly on the battlefield and just basically engage in necromantic dick-waving contests, controlling as much dead shit as possible and just throwing it at the enemy.
Save the skeleton archers for the KANGZ, where they fit and aren't equivalent to a joke unit you wouldn't use anyway.
>>147612786
I think they will hold it out to release it alogside the first paid dlc faction to avoid "Muh games muh dlc muh CA are cunt jews"

That's the most retarded shit I have ever read on this board. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

You can make a PC that is able to comfortably play any modern game on high graphical settings for ~$600. If you're willing to compromise, or scavenge components from your old PC, you can take that down to $400 quite easily. Up to $800 is enough to play the latest AAA titles on maximum settings at solid 60/144. Anything over that is just futureproofing.

Logicial increments prices my PC at around $600 freedombux. I can run it quite well on mostly maxed out settings.

Why are there only human zombies and skeletons?
VC got Zombie Dragons, but why not zombie dawi, zombie orcs, zombie skaven, zombie elf, etc.?

>>147613326
Is it me or do Grail Knights take a lot of damage for being so "powerful" and "demi-god like" in muh lore
>>147613394
Orkz are fungus so I doubt zombie mushrooms would be viable, and Skaven are mutated by Warp stone so I dont know if they'd be effected by necromagics
>>147613457
Well, the mod I'm playing buffs them to beat demigryph knights, but I guess they're pretty shit in vanilla
>>147613394
Dawi are inherently resistant to all forms of magic, so presumably their corpses are too. And Orcs are fungi, so necromancy presumably doesn't work on them.
>>147612128
They also had mummies, why not add them too?
>>147612807
>as if GW would allow CA giving model converters to the masses
>>147613394
Model and animation budget.
Necromancers/vampires and the events they participate mostly occur in and around humans.
Dorfs magic resistance probably plays some part.
Elves aren't in yet, probably like the dorfs.
SKAVEN DO NOT EXIST
orcs are often raised, but they don't really need to be in game because they're just bigger zombies
>>147613459
just how fungusy they are isn't too clear in fantasy as opposed to 40k
>>147613457
Bretonnia is poorly fleshed out and probably will be until they are made properly playable. So they probably didn't pay too much attention to balancing them.

Okay, try this:

Surely this has been done before in TW games? I'm pretty sure I've seen custom unit gear or weapons from other TW mods.
>>147613560
For CA and TotalWarhammer. For the TT?
Are there non-human zombies and skeletons TT models, aside of VC's Dragons? Why throw away those potential shekels?
>>147613698
>>147613737
Only Cursed Company of Regiments of Renown?
>>147613719
Before? Yes, because S2, R2, and Attila got model converters.
TWarhams? No. All just reused available assets.
>>147613702
>And make them more homogeneous and thus boring.
I don't see how arbitrary reduction in variety isn't anything other than boring.
Same with Dwarves not having mounts. They should ride big Rams.
>VC skeleton archers would also be either too shit to use
So, just like VC skeleton warriors? Sounds perfect.
>>147613737
There have probably been some. You can easily convert and use them for sure. As part of the official citadel line, there aren't.
I can't imagine many customers would choose them over undead human models.
Some would certainly. But they wouldn't sell many.
>>147613719
Up until warscape we had a far better time modding the game. Warscape has a lot of components which are locked to modding.
Total Warhammer specifically suffers from being under a GW owned franchise. It took a long time for CA to convince GW to allow ANY modding, and even that was gained at the cost of having legal requirements for MODS
>>147613941
VC skeleton warriors are fine
>>147612696
Because most of the time I can just move an army in to attack the guys surrounding my city. Assuming you're talking about a significant force anyway, if you're talking about some small remnant of an AI faction suiciding themselves upon one of my settlements honestly auto-resolve will deal with that easily enough and save me having to fight a boring battle.
Anyway, here have some orcs getting their asses thoroughly kicked.

Isn't the file format roughly the same? Have they commented on when/if they're releasing a model converter? No one released a custom converter?
>>147614027
It's fine; he'll become your general
Is there a mod that unlock Kraka Drak and other Dawi fractions but that works with the latest patch and doesn't crash when Chaos arrives?
Why is Games workshop retarded?
>>147614007
>rt of the official citadel line, there aren't.
>I can't imagine many customers would choose them over undead human models.
But only for ones posted in the Steam store. twcenter can post whatever, and none of that should detract from having a model converter. Have they commented on it specifically?

>>147614151
I haven't been paying too much attention to them since launch, and when I have looked they've been mostly silent across the board. So I doubt they have commented.
Yeah, you can't stop 'illegal' mods being used, but you can stop their distribution if it's public and law-abiding.
If TWcenter becomes a host for a lot of 'illegal' TWW mods, they'll probably be warned and they'll thus take down all the hosted files and forbid people from doing it again.
>>147613702
You said Vampires you backpedaling bitch
I just had the Rise of Chaos event.

Do I accpet?
Won't that cause me to go to war with their enemies?
>>147614275How?
>>147614426
>not fighting off the northern hordes with steel. courage and gunpowder
Demigryphs aren't even needed unless you find yourself up against 3 stacks.
>>147614037
Only R2 and Attila models are interchangeable. No need for converters for those two, just pop the models in, and it'll work. R2 and Attila supposed to be one game anyway.
S2 can use ETW/NTW artillery, possibly building models(?) without converter
R2-Attila won't take any S2 man, ship, and animal models - it'll simply crash. Not sure about artillery and building models though.
TWH is different. Some guy tried to port Attila models to TWarhammer, no dice, just crash.
>>147614316
I did yes. I'm still mostly correct. They're all arrogant twats. Of those who will engage with undead armies on the battlefield, most of them apply only brute force. They use tactics of course, but the general consensus is that a flesh puppet should be spooking the living in melee and handing out and receiving blows to best take advantage of their nature. Rather than doing something which requires unrealistic amounts of fine motor control for them and yields almost no benefit.
I then went on to cite examples of VC military doctrine under Mannfred, which supports my claims. And I threw in Kemmler as well, because paired with Mannfred we have the TWW VC roster of legendary lords, and he happens to have necromatic powers and ambition to compete with great vampires as well as behave similarly.
You do not have to be so upset my good friend.
>>147614481
yes
it's the other way around
>>147614562
>S2 can use ETW/NTW artillery, possibly building models(?) without converter
>S2 modding so lazy that we'll never have fots mechanics with napoleon models and empire scale

Oh yeah, its easy to say lazy at modding attempts when you're only an end user of mods.
Here's the fact:
There are only handful of serious modders remaining in the S2 scenes, anon, and they are all one-man shows without modding teams, only occasional freelance contributors giving stuff like battlemaps and such.
And there are still hurdles on S2 modding, such as 100% Japanese campaign mechanics, Ship models, and Battlefield maps.
Here's the situation of the modders who still gives a fuck with S2:
Primergy: Working on American Civil War mod. Can model units and buildings, and creates great models. One man show, but have connection to older ACW modders from ETW and NTW scene. Have some contributors creating battlemaps who depend on him fully for new building models. Do not port ETW/NTW building models, prefers to build his own, for some reason. Made his own Northern America map.
However, he got slower, his Northern American map lost when his comp got busted, and ACW-specific Ironclads are still hard to make even if he have the skills to create the rigidmodel appearance. Still essentially an one man show.
Uanime5: Finished Morning Sun mod. Can't model, only converts any model he can get his hands on (that's why his Korean models are shit compared to the Chinese ones). Plan to bloat his MASSIVE East Asian map even more. Not really good on battle system balancing, based his on Darthmod but somehow thinks 88 degrees archer fire are a great idea that fixes a non-problem and causes new problems. Morning Sun Campaign are pretty much playable but buggy as hell, there's seems to be a boundary how much can one stretch S2's campaign map. Korean and Chinese ships are incredibly hard to make, and he doesn't have the expertise to create the models. Also one-man show.
Weierstrass: Plans for another Master of Strategy for FoTS. Gonna break provinces into lots of small towns again ala uanime's "extended" map. Seems to be not a modeller, but he knows how to convert.
Armored Hellebards, Temple Guards, Champions of Bretonnia. Are there units like this in the tabletop game?
Also, the Temple Guards sadly use the Armor of the Knight Priests with Sigmar engraved on it.

There is nothing I despise more than the horde mechanic. I cannot physically shitpost hard enough to express my distaste for literally every single aspect of horde gameplay. I'm frustrated and angry and want to smack whoever thought this was supposed to be fun.

>>147616236
No. The entirety of the Bretonnian faction on the tabletop is as follows.
>three special snowflake characters
>lord, prophetess, paladin, damsel
>knights errant, knights of the realm, peasant bowmen, men at arms
>questing knights, pegasus knights, mounted yeomen, grail pilgrims
>grail knights, trebuchet
So that's two Lords, two Heroes, a Core of two knights, one melee inf, one ranged inf. Special is knights, knights on flying horses, peasants with a ward save, or peasants on horses. Rare is knights or a trebuchet.
They're by far the shittiest and least developed faction in the entire setting. Comparable to Sisters of Battle if you know anything about 40k.

are you aware that noskans cant settle outside of Norska?
>i can't have multiple stacks to mutually support each other since they cause attrition because reasons
chaos is an unruly bunch, and its an attempt to make the campaign harder
>i can't have a constant income since i'm unable to hold territory so i'm forced to fight non-stop
you are playing as chaos, of course you have to fight non-stop, hordes in Attila have economy buildings
>encamping to replenish losses actively hurts my progress and allows my enemies to replenish entire stacks whilst i'm waiting for my general to go from 25% HP to 50% HP
merge units and buy new ones, you should have plenty of money to do so
>enemy agents constantly assaulting units so i can't fight since my army is understrength
chaos for some reason lacks an agent like a banshee, or a witch hunter or any assassin really, this does admittedly feel like an oversight
>can't do anything other than march across the entire map to friendly territory or my campaign ends because i only have one horde since i didn't want to spend an extra fifty turns of growth to get slightly better units that
spec your hero to give horde growth, it should be enough for you to recruit 1-2 extra hordes, beating the game with just 2 on legendary is very possible actually

Nope. Bretonnia isn't as technologically advanced as the Empire, so they can't produce full plate armor as economically. Very few of the knights would have full plate, so you definitely wouldn't see foot soldiers wearing this kind of armor.

Why random faggots like you who've never played the game still insist pretending they know shit is beyond me.
The empire and bretronnian core infantry both wear light armor.
>>147619804
Did they patch out the exploit yet?
>>147623295
Not him, but while the armour gives them the same level of protection it's pretty clear that they're different types. Empire troops often have plate breastplates and little more while Bretonnian footmen use thick leather.
>>147621710
>so they can't produce full plate armor as economically
Neither can the Empire, they're literally made by Dwarfs.
>>147623681
One breastplate isn't a full plate armor and is certainly not a tech achievement. Unless we're going to consider ancient greeks to be more advanced than middle age europeans with their mail armors.
>>147623681
A single breastplate doesn't protect that much.
A full body heavy leather armor will offer more protection overall.
>>147623295
>>The empire and bretronnian core infantry both wear light armor.
And? I wasn't talking about core infantry. I was talking about hypothetical common Bretonnian infantry running around in full plate. You only really see that with the Empire, and even then, generally only for their veteran Sate troops like Great Swords.
(I think in practice state troops munitions breastplates would probably have some noticeable advantages over padded gambesons, but just not to the degree that it's worth differentiating them from generic light armor on the tabletop scale).
>>147623716
>>Neither can the Empire, they're literally made by Dwarfs.
Occasionally by Dwarf craftsmen living as Expats in the Empire. But yes. A lot of the Empire's technical advantages over the other human nations are due to having intimate relations with the Dwarves.
>>147616178
When most teams leave their mods because they don't want to be hassled with updating them after a patch, right when a whole new world of possibilities for modding opens in front of them, yeah I call them lazy. Respect for the ones still working, but the others are shit when compared with teams that worked for a decade on other projects, some of which are still trying to improve and unlock modding features.
>>147624714
>leather armor
u wot m8
Chainswords when?
>>147624978
Not occasionally, exclusively. And only the heavy cavalry, the Greatswords (which you can only have one unit of) and the characters can have them but they clearly can't produce them.
why is early game dwarfs so hard?

If I set a Waaagh! target, do I gain direct control over any captured settlements or are they managed by the Greenskin Waaagh! AI faction?
>>147625591
Orkz in my opinion hardest in this game, while Dawi easy.
>>147626097
Yes, you get control.
What the fuck diplomacy on legendary is fucking bullshit. I'm playing FotS as fucking date with diplomacy benefit and researched Consular Court for another diplomacy benefit and the fucking Marioka call me to their aid after they are attacked. I had diplomacy like 200 and send an army to help and he immediately declares war and attacks me with the army I sent to help.
I don't mind legendary diplomacy being hard but it seems not to matter at fucking all. Might as well completely ignore it.
>>147625896
>>147626169
It was hard for me, I've managed to get it under control now.
Any news from CA since the update hit?
Hoping for some more DLC soon.
>>147624714
>>A single breastplate doesn't protect that much.
It may offer less coverage than a gambeson, but it does offer more robust protection for the vital organs in the torso. Way I see it is that a gambeson is more likely to prevent certain injuries to the limbs, but less likely to prevent a fatal injury to the body.
Which fits into the abstractions of a tabletop scale game. A guy who gets stabbed through the heart is treated as a casualty just as much as a guy who had his sword arm injured and had to pull back from the melee. Though admittedly the latter guy got a better deal.
>>147626169
Orcs are by far the easiest, the waghh armies just break the game.
You dont need to play tactically since you always out number the enemy, you can have 8-10 full banners by turn 40 because the wagghh armies are free.
>>147626872
Most people in a melee don't get fucked by sudden fatal insuries to the body.
You strike an arm here, a leg there, weakening the enemy until he's unable to keep his torso and head guard up and then you kill him.
>>147626920
It's hard to face roll on legacy.
>>147626586
Yeah legendary difficulty doesn't have smarter AI, it just gives more difficulty and tries to fuck you over whenever it can, regardless of the rules of the game. It's less, "try to be the best general you can against the best generals we could create" and more "be as autistic as possible and try to avoid doing the random thing that makes you lose the game"
Also don't trust the % chance in agent actions. They aren't right.
Things that CA can't do:
>Diplomacy
>Siege AI
>Not Autistic fair AI difficult.

>>One breastplate isn't a full plate armor and is certainly not a tech achievement. Unless we're going to consider ancient greeks to be more advanced than middle age europeans with their mail armors.
Ancient Greek armies typically only saw elite troops outfitted with breastplates though. A bronze cuirass and a helmet were major investment, and made you the most heavily armored soldier on an ancient battlefield.
Contrast that to the late middle ages/early renaissance (I.E. Warhammer Empire) where they shit out munitions breastplates in such large numbers that even the common soldiery could have them. Basic Empire State Troops would be heavy infantry by ancient world standards. And a hoplite would shit himself at the prospect of trying to fight someone in full plate.

That's what you get for not having missile superiority.Although his own spells did kill a bunch
>>147629612
>All those grail knights
I always wonder how Brettonia gets all these guys, the grail is supposed to be something hard to find but they seem to have thousands of Grail knights all the time.
Oi, ya gits! Do I swap out all of my Boyz for Big 'Uns?
Holy shit, vampires are amazing. Generic lord + one vamp can solo half of an army.
>>147629805
Same way the Empire can field entire battle groups of nothing but steam tanks, despite less than a dozen existing in working conditions.
>>147630029
Vampire chan carries whole nations on her big strong back.
>>147629947

Why Flamethrower fucking useless?
>>147630085
But im talking about the fluff.
>>147629805
Because they dont die, so they accumulate
>>147630273
No, you were talking about the game. They can't get that many grail knights in the fluff.
>>147629459

Hold the line you fucking shitters, we're winning this god damn.
Anyone else just autoresolving most fights?
Now I only fight when autoresolve is not in my favor.
>>147623716
The fuck are you talking about? They are able to mass produce armor with the technical help of dwarves, that's their whole thing. That's why they are able to have so many cost efficient units compared to the more meadshield/elite mechanics of other factions.
>>147629612
That's a big Gryphon
>>147630273
>>But im talking about the fluff.
In fluff a fairly major armies unit of grail knights might be a squadron of a few dozen. They're rare, but not THAT rare due to their increased life span. So small contingents isn't impossible for big battles.
>>147631015
its a hippogryph you fuckin git
>>147630838
>Anyone else just autoresolving most fights?
this makes the campaign trivial because autoresolve is shit
>>147631015
That's nothing, check out Kholek.
>>147630838
>Anyone else just autoresolving most fights?
What is the point of even playing? Total war games for for jerking off to the battles. The campaign is complete shit.
>tfw you punch Chaos from 1st to 5th with Lionheart
I sorta wish equpiment worked like in an MMO; "Oh shit, you just destroyed Archaon and Sarthaeol? Take this neat armor and kick some more butt"
How many units of Black Orcs do I take per army? 20?
>>147631658
then you won't have any slots for CRAZY FAST CAVALRY
>>147631658
But where will you fit 19 Arachnaroks then
>>147629805
Because they probably questing knights with Grail Knight in the lead.
>>147625496

bullshit
>>147631396
The campaign is fun, if only for the reason that you can stack units and completely crush your enemies.
>>147631658
on VH and above black orcs lose to all other elite infantry
i don't get why orcs are near immortal death machines in lore but suck so much in practice almost every time
>>147631314
It's hilarious when this size bug happens, especially with Kholek. I hope they let it stay in the game.
>>147632189
Because you are always suppose to outnumber the enemy when playing orks.
>>147632189
How else do I crack stunty armor?
>>147632170
Nah it's not bullshit in Warhammer universe. There can be ultimate champion or strongest among others in one squad who get this cool armor. Even in WH40k they have this shit.
