>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

Chaos defeated and I never fought them.
>>148284371
Cannons, handgunners and outriders.
Shit sucks when fighting tem melee thery're durable as fuck so you gotta get that armor pen damage in on them from the flanks.
Heavy cavalry charges are nearly fucking useless on them.

so what do you think would help chaos feel more like an actual tide of destruction, instead of a 1-3 army annoyance?
what if the units were already cheaper than they are, and growth wasn't taken away for starting a new army?
Higher corruption rate?
Starting off with all of Norsca as allies?

I'm sorry, Karl. We'll never have the proper conclusion to the Vampire Wars.Why does this keep happening; the Chaos invasion hasn't even properly started, you Empire fuck.
>>148288208
make some cities/provinces be special wargoals whose destruction/defense would cause different events to happen (spawning chaos stacks, spreading corruption or just giving a temporary buff event) like from destroying middenheim and putting out Ulric's fire.
>>148288208
Doesn't need much.
Just a slight tweak to make it actually try to win and expand instead of retardedly beelining for the player, getting chewed to bits on the way.
Even the gang of slavs doing Call of Warhammer did this better with a ton of stacks just spawning all up in your shit.
Has anyone here done any type of scripting for the newer total wars? I wanna add a population mechanic to warhammer but I can't find any good tutorials for it.
>>148288549
You're a cuck Mannfred. I'd rather have my Empire fall to chaos shits than have your false claim to emperor fulfilled.

TILL... Thursday?
>>148293164
The treehugger is going to win that fight, just letting you know.
>>148293432
Yes, because it's mechanically impossible for that beastman to get the axe over his head and down on his target without hitting the hornblade.
>>148293432
Bestigors are a pretty hardy bunch. Beastmen are pretty known for shrugging mortal strikes for smaller races and just getting pissed at it, assuming its not an ungor if course.
Elves are always rather squishy
>>148293685
That and the axeblade was going to hit behind the elf anyways.
>>148293685
He doesn't really need to hit him with the axe. Even if he takes that arrow in the gullet that is gonna be half ton of rape made flesh crashing into a squishy elf.
>>148293971
Beastman is going to fall on his face because of that stupid hornblade, he also has forwards momentum so the elf just has to duck and slide forwards, then stab it in the spine, gg
>>148293773
Looks like it to me, also he can literally hit him with anything and still gore him
>>148294370
duck + slide forwards.
also, you forgot the bottom of the axe handle, which is what everyone is pointing at.
>>148294263
I know elves are supposed to be super speedy and shit but his position is all wrong to try to duck and move forward, if anything he seems like he's about to fall backwards.
>>148294620
he can move towards the foreground or background too, there's no 2d limitation
>>148293720
This.
Elves are skilled but not very resistant.
Unless they're only lightly/moderately wounded and helped off the battlefield, in which case they'll most certainly recover.
>>148294370
what are the point of the blades all over the armor?
Just to look extra edgy? If their armor IS a weapon, why do they need a dedicated weapon? Can't they just run at someone and impale them like 4 times?
>>148294370
t. furry
>>148294695
>Just to look extra edgy?
You do know what Warhammer is, right?
>>148294695
if we really have to mix in realism with warhammer i'd like to remind you the warhammer universe consumes china's steel production quota 10 times over and any chaos warrior would be instantaneously hospitalized from being crushed by their own helmets
G O B L I N S
>>148294854
I'm not saying that it should be realistic, i'm just pointing out that its a wee bit redundant.
I mean, it's not like you see witch hunters carry around 8 non-functional pistols alongside their usable gun
>>148294695
Spiked armor is great for helping the charge but you need a weapon to attack through armor and shields and offer some defense. A little redundancy is alright. And it is also a terror weapon as well, Plus chaos, orcs, everyone loves spikes
>>148295619
looking at this pictures really makes me hope CA adds more variety to the empire units.
asides from the floppy hats, I'd really like to see soldiers wearing those caps, and have more skulls integrated into their look
>>148296328
Good luck pal. We're getting pumped and dumped, and good luck trying to import any models.
Pic realted, mongol rocket launchers. They are my favorite unit.
Are they in Medieval 1 Total War? If not, why? I bought Medieval 1 thinking that they'd be in here
Also are there any similar units in Rome or Medieval 1? I can't afford Miedieval 2 yet
should I start an Empire campaign right now, or wait until Beastmen drop?
>>148289301
Karl may be the smuggest anime in the old world.

>Monster that walks out melees monster that flies.
This should not be surprising to you.
>>148297032
Go for it, empire campaign can be beat in 1 or 2 days if you know what you're doing.
>>148296421
>>Good luck pal. We're getting pumped and dumped, and good luck trying to import any models.
Well there's always the possibility of getting DLC units, which would give us more options to mix units up.
>>148291428
>slow moving combat unit beats Terrorgheist in melee
No shit. The Terrgheist can fly and move incredibly fast, and has a bunch of extra utility stuff like regeneration.
The giant has nothing but being an expensive beatstick.
Only lords hsould be able to beat one and only then at a high level and with decent gear.
>>148291740
Try using the Death Star. It works a treat in campaign.

>>148300693
Those guys are really good for a skirmisher, BS5 either double shooing or ignoring armor but also T3, no armor. The damn epitome of being a wood elf for sure.
>>148300450
All the themes are relevant to Sigvald. If human emotion is to be had, Slaanesh is about it.
>>148298821
More or less. YOu need decent infantry to take higher tier settlements though so if you play as huns have one army with a lot of uar warriors and onagers and use it as your siege army. Keep all your other armies horsefuckery-tier and raep in the field.
How do you unlock more quest battles in campaign? Is it by level? I just finished an empire campaign but I;ve only done 2 of the 7 quests for gelt and I want to try to finish them but if I have to grind it out to level him up I might just do a new campaign.
>>148300898
>>148301029
What happens if you're up for more than two days straight? I've never done it before but it's about to happen.
I just finished my empire campaign after 60 hourse, what should I do next?
>>148301968
Extreme exhaustion. You need to start worrying only when you get to around 4 days.
>>148301968
Unless youre sick in some form not much, im not a doc but its only minor things at first.
Heart-range changes, your reaction time goes down, concentration etc.
It takes like 7-10 days for some serious shit to happen I think, like nails/hair falling out organ failure.
>>148301968
if you stay awake for 7 days without food or water you become enlightened

>absolutly fucked up by my gunlinemen
Good luck doing that when they ambush your useless human ass innawoods or raid/sack/raze your undefended villages!
is empire of sigmar worth a shit?
>>148308542
>he thinks he'll be doing the ambushing
Idea for Beastmen: combine the raid and ambush stance.
>>148308998
also going into ambush stance doesn't cost movement points, and high percentage of ambush success
>>148308941
Can't wait for the most op form of ambushing for Beastmen and Wood Elves :^)
Maybe +25% or 50% ambush chance and combined with raiding or unit replenishment.
We'll see tomorrow if something worthwhile gets revealed
Bros, I'm playing the dwarfs thinking it would be pretty chill, but Grimgor just showed up with a rape stack. He has like a million archers and a gold chevron doom diver unit. He out numbers me 3-1 and it's only turn 12. Should I go for an ambush or fight him straight on? I've tried 2 battles and I take care of his units just fine, I just done have an answer for Grimgor himself and his doom diver fuckery. He kills my general 1v1 like it's nothing and his arty is cucking me from a mile away. What do?

>>148310347
Should I try and ambush his army or just say fuck it and corner my units and pray to the manlet gods?
>>148310287
Yes, I'm mad. All the ballistas had to do was shoot the goddamn trolls like I ordered them too. They had a clear shot and the high ground. I have no idea why they didn't.
>>148304434
What legendary lords will they have except for pic related and probably Khazrak
>>148310339

I haven't played since just before the blood and gore DLC since I got busy withSMTIV. How much has balance changed? Are vampires still a joke or can they punch at the weight level of everyone else?

>>148311131

better buy some DLC goy-goy
>>148310838
Vampires were never a joke, unless they were AI and you abused their glaring weakness.
Most of the largest changes were nerfs to the vampires and they weren't strong.
>>148310838
They got nerfed actually but also received blood knights which are the fastest heavy cav in the game.
>>148311359
Are blood knights decent then?
>>148311260
Gotcha. Well, I should really get back to my Dwarf campaign.
>>148311193
>literally have skavenblight on the map
I DON'T WANNA WAIT I'LL PAY RIGHT NOW
>>148311405
They're certainly not the monsters they are on the tabletop. They're also anti-large with lances which is a bit weird. A fairly useful niche for their army but their price isn't justified for how middling-high they are.
So what are the chances we actually get Beastmen announced? That seems pretty lofty.
>>148311405
I'd say they're good but a bit underwhelming. They really needed armor piercing damage to justify their cost, but they fuck up pretty much any non-demigryph cav unit as well as any other large units. The speed is awesome though, they've got well over 70.
>>148311537
it's going to be the huntsmaster for empire
if you believe otherwise you're a stupid cow shit
>>148311621
>>148311495
Oh, that kinda sucks. Back when I played Ogres, blood knights were some of the only cav I feared.
>>148311537
The old leaked and only mildly denied release order plan had Beastmen as the first DLC.
They're probably the most reasonable faction to suddenly implement.
If you're curious, the plan outlined, Beastmen DLC, after awhile Bretonnia will but updated into playable; and then the Wood Elves/Campaign pack set around these three factions.
So something around there. Might be getting some paid faction before Bretonnia is properly implemented, might be Beastmen/Wood Elves double combo, might not.
Beastmen are the most likely though.
>>148311746
Beastmen being pushed first just feels so weird. No one actually plays them. Why would anyone buy them?
>>148311719
Why not both? If bloodapalooza was anything to go by, there is a theme to the coincided freelc and dlc releases, and the shoe certainly fits with that letter spelling out beastmen as plain as day.
>>148311719
You wanna bet on that?
>>148311719
Obviously it'll be the empire hero, but if you seriously don't think they're going to be releasing paid DLC alongside the free shit, and if you fail to realize how the teaser they released alludes 100% to both beastmen and the huntsmarshal, you should just be euthanized and put out of your misery.
>>148311829
People didn't play them on the tabletop because they were outdated, same with bretonnia. But people would play both factions in total war because they offer variety and different playstyles (at least for beastmen). Chaos dwarfs though... I don't know why anybody would be excited for that shit.

Why do people think forge world stuff isn't legitimate, when the units are both fieldable and legal in a proper tabletop match?
>>148313539
There's 'Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos' which is from Forge World which further is part of GW.
So there's no actual army book like Empire or Warriors of Chaos have but it's legit and has enough content to make Chaos Dwarfs a proper faction.

>>148313794
Well thanks senpai, I'll no longer shitpost against chaos dwarfs. They even seem to have a more interesting and varied roster than Bretonnia. So I guess I'm going to just shitpost about Bretonnia.
>>148313923
Is there anything left to stink?
>>148313964
He's reading far too much into the backgrounds. Which is really silly given that they apparently chose to indicate everything except magic which is a bunch of forest shots for everything.
They obviously wouldn't only release heroes for one single faction, and they way they tease it, it wouldn't be boring enough to basically be a new empire mage for every new lore which is almost what it would have to be for every hero to be empire.
>>148313923
Wrong again
>>148312882
Anyone?
>>148314009
Shitpost about High Elves. Their general roster is almost Radious levels of boring.
>>148314214
The forest shots are important, at least in the case of the free race icon. The trees are from what shows on the campaign map when a Bretonnian faction owns the province.
>>148313794
Do edgelord dorfs still have hobgoblins like they did in the old days?

Oda from S2TW
Choshu from FoTS
Pontus from R2
Huns from Attila
>>148313683
>>148313794
I don't actually think it's illegitimate. I just say it is because it's ammunition to use against stunties.
Has anyone figured out how to unlock Archaon? What do they mean by slaughter 10 sets of captives?
>>148314341
Perhaps, I wouldn't notice it to that extent. Bretonnians are confirmed for it without any sort of visual tease.
>>148314412
Don't bring anything from FoTS anywhere else. Everything else will be blown off the battlefield in minutes.
>>148313923
Tomb Kings are gonna be one of the most fun and varied factions assuming they add in everything they have. You sure as shit should care. They're a fuckload more interesting than the Vamps.
Fee fi poo pum, fellow Furkin™ players! I hope you're all as e-stag-tic as I am for the announcement this Herds-day!
Say, I have a great idea! Let's have our own moo-gration, just like a real Wyldthrong™ would! The pastures here are looking thinner every day, but the grass has never been greener in /gsg/! Plenty of room to hoot and holler, and if slaughter is your thing there's entire worlds full of civilizations to murder! Why be a bull trapped in the dinky china shop of the Empire when you could be destroying all of China itself!

Tomb kings are of course more interesting, though the big creature mania of the later editions is an unfortunate development away from quality. But Vampire counts are pretty great as well. In game they don't really play like on the TT without the upper limits you can push vampire units and characters to in the TT.

Blob and spam Nehek. And fuck infantry, go monsters. I raped the campaign using nothing but terrorgheists, varghulfs and vargheists. And lord + vamp in every army.
You can fuck 3 full chaos armies with one army like that.
>>148314954
That is a list of only free releases, only in the order of free releases. We've already seen one minor DLC alongside the first update. So we'll definitely be seeing more before they're done.

Bist du der typ aus /deutsch/ ?
>>148315079
I think so, yes.
Can't wait for Beastmen herds also popping up every few turns in the Drakwald, Dark Elves raiding your western shores and Bretonnia declaring war on you because you insulted a duke's ugly wife.
Playing Empire will become a big clusterfuck in the end!

This is pretty disgusting, gotta say.
>>148314575
>They're a fuckload more interesting than the Vamps.
I guess that's why vamps were 10 times more popular in tabletop.
Right /twg, what should be added and fixed to the Attila/R2 dumbed down naval gameplay so TWarhammer naval battles actually fun when its eventually added (and they will when Ulthuan and Naggaroth added to the map)
Also, Those who says naval battles aren't fun nor important never plays FoTS.
>>148315838
Naval battles were trash in Rome II so everybody keeps saying that they always sucked. When in Empire and Shogun II they were good.
And WH fleets are going to be much more varied than in previous games.
>>148314509
So you're saying a full naval bombardment from bunch of Ironclads and Frigates are more powerful than any TWW spells?
I'm sure with Armstrong, Parrot, and Gatling effectiveness, but would their line infantry like Kiheitai be enough to drive TWW melee units at bay? The only FoTS melee unit that are good is Shogitai.
>>148315386
Should use crypt horrors as a mainline then, they're trolls but without the shit leadership.
>>148314594
>>148316138
In campaign it's better to focus on one tree.
>>148316117
Even line infantry are absolute murder machines. A single volley from a good unit like red/black bears on ultra funds often takes out 50 men. That and mechanically, armour meaning absolutely nothing to them, means that almost all melee units are fucked
>>148316310
The monster tree is shit anyway and you should be focusing on the economy tree first and foremost.
>>148313539
This is kind of why, like they're more or less thefunDwarf faction.
You've got the industrialist/slaver element, a focus on heavy artillery, Monstrous cavalry, heavy infantry, access to magic. and bighats
While the New DLC could just be the Hunt Master, i'm not sure because really, what the fuck would he even do? Why pick him over any of the other heros for the empire?
>>148316117
Line infantry would shred them as well. The only thing I could see making a difference are things like the terrorgeist depending on exactly how much entity damage you would have the the line infantry do
>>148316763
You can pimp out the dogs to be superb cavalry with just a few techs
>>148315829
>dracula is more popular than the mummy
What a surprise
>>148317007
There are game updates where they add new shit and there is DLC. They are separate things.
You could have him buff ranged units and be a good ranged unit himself unlike accusation meme man.
>>148294370
That's assuming he stays stationary in the air, but you forget he's rapidly flying forward.
>>148316763
Lahmias tree is best, but after that you should focus on one upgrade tree. And monsters are just the best for campaign.
>>148315838
I think the main thing is to make them into a short but fun mini game. I feel thats been one of the mistakes with the older games, they tried turning them into these epic battles like the land combat. But naval combat is a lot more unintuitive.
With TW:Warhammer I wouldn't mind if they just ripped off Battle Fleet Gothic honestly. What they did is fun, quick and works and I could see it slotting in well with a total war game.
>>148314412
Britain and France crush the old world with superior weaponry, economy, organisation and numbers.
Oda, Pontus and Huns get blown out due to low technology and/or low numbers, getting absorbed by one of the bigger human nations at best.
Choshu becomes a small, but powerful and valued economical and technological leader (modernized version) or struggles like the others (start of the game version).
>>148314412
Britain and France would do well against other humans and Orcs, decent vs. Chaos at large, but potentially struggle a lot vs. the Dwarfs (who have fugn flying machines) and surprising have a lot of weakness to Vampires. Vortex spells, swarms of bats, morale-shattering effects of fighting zombies and ghosts, and all that monstrous infantry would fug them up bad. Hero-sniping with the lore of death would also be particularly devastating against 18th and 19th century armies that really rely on their commanders. On the other hand, snipers would be great vs. the vampires and necromancers.
Strangely enough, if Bretts actually had their lady's protection bonus in play where they can randomly shrug off ranged attacks and lots of pegasus knights, they could probably fuck up nappy and old nosey pretty well.
Huns, Pontus, and Oda really depend on just who they fight. Ultimately I don't think they would make much of a difference, except maybe huns - there's lots of potential for a horde army, the main issue would be competition.
Anything from FotS just memes on the setting though unless they get swarmed somehow by monstrous infantry, so again, VC or maybe Brets are best suited to fighting them.
>>148318734
Dwarfs would also have the weakness of being stunted gnomes compared to French and Englishmen.
>>148318734
>decent vs. Chaos at large
You guys always forget about corruption and the like, the first months would be a fucking disaster on that front and the "empire" or any other state would come out of that a fraction of its starting power
>>148318849
If you're looking at it from the perspective of magic being new and influencing everyone then I feel shit like Rome(for example) would adopt the gods and the magic and you would have based Chaos characters like Pious Augustus rather than faggy Chaos characters like anything viking inspired.
So I got three armies of Swordsmen, Spearmen and Shields, and some Crossbows. One has two Outriders, and a Bright Wizard, one has a Warrior Priest, and two mortars, and one has four Empire Knights.
My Doomstacks with Franz consist of eight Greatswords, Two Reiksguard, Two Halberd Demigryphs, 2 Halberdiers, a Celestial Wizard, a Steam Tank, and Three Helstorm Batteries because they are cool as fuck.
Gelt has two captains, three Reiksguard, four Halberdiers, six Greatswords, two Handgunners, and two Great Cannons.
I'm currently making a new army with a confederated (and surprisingly well specced) lvl 15 Todbringer, so far it has a Steam tank, Three Demigryph Halberds, three Outriders, four Handgunners, Five Greatswords, and I'll prolly throw in a Helblaster and some Mortars.
How fucked am I? The Endtimes have just began.
>>148318830
Dwarfs have not-dogshit artillery, gyros, and at the end of the day can hide in their holds whereas probably only Napoleon himself would bother trying to adapt 19th century warfare into sieging a fugn active volcano lair.
>>148318849
I'm not forgetting, that's why I say "at large." They can deal with Varg stacks effortlessly and waves of heavy-armored warriors aren't too scary vs. line infantry, but corruption is a factor.
That said, these armies are no strangers to marching around in conditions that are actively trying to kill them (more Brits died to disease than spears in Africa), repressing the populace (in the event of Chaos uprisings), or maintaining order in the ranks. They would be surprisingly prepared for this shit.
>>148318981
Chaos rome would be fantasy iron warriors, that would be extremely cool but it would also create one of the most obnoxious fandoms ever
>>148284505
I killed Archaon and all I got was a pigeon plucker pendant.
>>148319042
You can properly deal with Archaon with your two best stacks, if it was just you and chaos.
Chaos isn't too big of an issue really, everyone helps you out substantially.
Dealing with the 23rd Varg multi-doomstack invasion at the same moment a couple of dorf factions declare war on you because they're fucking greedy worthless cuck stuntie faggot shits. Or dealing with a Greenskins in a game where the main Dorf faction sucked ass are much harder than Archibald.
