>>517532005Thanks.I've been doing generally fine so far, but now several factions all just started shit with me and my Armies are getting strained.

>>517530461too fast, too much micro, magic feels shitty, no tactical thinking required, animations and graphical effects are a downgrade from previous titles. I have no problem with the setting, the game itself is just super shitty. pic related is a much better alternative if you actually like total war.

>>517532510Yes, it is called total warhammer, not total peacehammer. kill their armies and raise their cities.

>>517530461FTW bros! I've tasted the x10 unit pop scale in the lab and can't go back?!

Game isn't finished. Not gonna spend $300 for the finished game. Waiting for the third one to roll out with the grand campaign, a good sale on all of the older content that's required to play the grand campaign, and some optimization to make the turns not take 2 minutes to pass on the highest-tier processors mankind has made.

>>517531872>battle ai doesn't know how to use their armiesI don't know what shit you're smoking but I've lost half my army to fucking clanratspam just because of the AI's ridiculous ability to perfectly target warp lightning whenever it's off cooldown (every 5 seconds)

Stop thinking infantry are good for any faction besides lizardmen. the damage the darkshards will do with even 2 volleys of arrows is a bigger boon than having darkelf spearmen get 20 kills and break just as fast.

>>517533212The mod is a superior total war game. Warhammer completely removes the entire maneuver element of gameplay, the small maps leave almost no room for tactical flexibility, the battles are so short you can't even enjoy them. It all devolves into simply memorizing unit stats and charging and don't even get me started on the siege battles. Also, the explosion and smoke effects in Napoleon were far superior. Warhammer just feels like a causalized Total War game made for consoles.

>>517533506I'll take a look. I seem to be on good terms with everyone but Dark Elves, who started launching attacks on me when Chaos started invading me. I almost have full control of the Southwestern continent of the map.

>>517534442Literally all of these are fixed with mods knuckledragger

You guys ever get stuck in that weird situation where auto resolve favors you in a really tough manual battle, but the results leave most of your elite units dead. So now I'm about to attempt this fucking battle for the third time since my pride isn't allowing me to let those units get wiped out.

>>517534765it's fun

>>517534725>mods will fix it!Making mods is the only reason why I own the game and sometimes "play" it, but you can't fix multiplayer battles with them. Also, relying on mods to make a game playable is peek laziness and they ultimately can't fix what is at its' core, a shitty dumbed down Total War game made for casuals.

>>517532552>Being this mad at a race with literally 1 gimmick that anyone playing Shitter Elves or even Fedoracore Knights could beatSUCKSTOSUCK

>>517535404Only dumb faggots and spergs care about multiplayer. And in case you couldn't tell because you're evidently one of these dumb faggot spergs, literally every single TW game ever made has been made good or at least improved with mods, even the stand out titles like Shogun 2.

>>517530461Too boring and repetitive.Although to be fair I but like 200 hours in it in a month

>>517535308Just cheese the enemy AI

I love playing as Ikit Claw.There's no better feeling than making firing lines of ratling guns and funneling enemies of overwhelming numbers to killboxes.Gentlemen, I love war.

>>517534765Where's the fun in playing on normal? That said, I find Legendary ends up being more annoying than it's worth in TW games recently - public order just gets hacked up so much that it becomes necessary to turtle to stop rebellions, in which case you end up farming ass-loads of free xp from the rebels and power creeping lords.At least it's not as bad as Atilla though, that was the only TW game where Legendary just made me stop playing because it was too tedius.Warhammer is relatively fun on it and Shogun was a blast.

>>517535760SO play on the difficulty between normal and legendary.

>>517535558Sure, but modding should be built on a solid foundation of a good game. Most of the previous Total War titles are good games without the need for any mods whatsoever. The fact that a multitude of mods are required just to make the game decent is an indicator of just how far the franchise has fallen in quality. Also, if you think mod support for Total War titles is here to say, I've got some bad news for you.

>>517536002yeah, their legendary hero, the toad that "noped" chaos twice. One while alive and again when he just said "I'm done being dead for now" and reincarnated to his body and said "NO" to the plot so his lizards could man the lifeboats and try to evacuate the setting. Dudes got the best AOE spell in the game

>>517530461Because even with the latest beta it is STILL FUCKING BROKEN.

>>517536002It's Lord Kroak. You can get him in almost all of the Lizardmen campaigns. He has 3 spells and that's it.>Nuke>Nuke>Nuke for armoured

>>517532513>too much micro>no tactical thinking requiredYup, retard confirmed.

>>517536282its known fact that the Warhammer games are objectivly the worst ones gameplay wise but have the best setting and unitsanybody who argues that has not played a totalwar game thats not warhammerThat being said I think the reason for Totalwar sucking at the moment is that CA is so god damn comfy with their millions of millions.They have no competition.Name a single other game with battles on the scale of Totalwar, you cant.We need some competition for these lazy cucks.

>>517536480>He has 3 spells and that's it."dude can end the battle. That's it'" "instant win. that's it."What else do you need?

>>517532658FFS IT IS 'RAZE' YOU UTTER, UTTER GRAMMAR-JEW. To 'raise' a city is to build it. To 'raze' it is to utterly destroy it. LEARN WHAT WORDS MEAN BEFORE YOU USE THEM!

>>517536282Modding is modding, some of the best mods ever were literally just copy-pasted code from another game with tacked on assets like the original Team Fortress and Counter-Strike. It's about the ingenuity of the people working on the mods not the games themselvesSecondly not "most" of the older TW games are good on their own without mods. The only ones I would even think about giving that creditt to would be Shogun 2 and maybe, possibly Napoleon. Rome I and Medieval 2 are made good games by the amazing mods that are available for them.And third yeah no shit mod support doesn't last forever, who fucking cares.

>>517536709True, some people have taken cracks at the large scale battle genre of RTS, but until someone actually gets the budget and time to build the technology to effectively compete with or surpass the tools that CA already has, Total War will never be dethroned and will continue it's steady march into casualization and mediocrity.

>>517537292I don't understand what you dumb niggers want from the game. It's been largely the same formula for how many fucking years, 14? Literally not much has changed since Medieval 2 and the only things off the top of my head that they did away with are shit like forts and watchtowers, captains, and more agent types. None of those were even pertinent to the overall game, they were just nice to haves.

>>517536709>its known fact that the Warhammer games are objectivly the worst ones gameplay wisethat's not true, battles in historical total wars suck dick, units get 500 kills in seconds and entities have literally 0 mass, fucking garbage

>>517537504>I don't understand what you dumb niggers want from the gameThey want somwhere they can carry out their own historical wank like "oh I can have this city not be sacked by saracens so THE JEWS DON'T BUILD THEIR FILTHY EMPIRE!" and other really weird crap.

>>517537684Makes sense. I love TW and from my perspective Warhammer is the best the franchise has been since Shogun 2. These idiots are either obsessed histcucks like you describe or just grasping at straws at shit to be butthurt about. They probably weren't even around for the fucking disastrous release of Rome II or Empire.

>>517537504>>517537684absolute 0 iq retards you areits not about the setting, its about losing mechanics over time, the games are literally getting worse and worse with objectively less mechanics for more money

>>517536898No, I mean the mod tools that CA has had for their games have been consistently declining in both quality and features with every release. Pretty soon their will be nothing left. Also, every TW game before Rome 2 is great on its' own, no mods needed at all.

>>517537912>its not about the settingand yet it's the ahistorical game that made you retards crawl out of the woodpile. fuck off with your bullshit.

>>517537912Warhammer 2 has almost all of the same fucking mechanics as Rome II or Shogun 2 you braindead cunt. Most of them are just rebranded as other shit, like instead of religion it's corruption. >>517537945Well I'm not a modder so I can't speak to that side of things, but the insinuation that Empire without mods is good let alone playable just shows that you're talking out of your ass.

>>517537684I don't even really care about having a historical title if the core game is solid. While being a mod, Third Age is absolutely fantastic and blows Warhammer away on every level except graphics.

>>517538079What the fuck are you on about, don't you renember the massive hateboner for Rome 2?

>>517538415>Empirelol

>>517538359Name 5 mechanics that Shogun 2 has that WH doesn't. I won't accept Realm Divide as an answer, but I will give you Naval Battles if you mention it (though I never cared for them).>>517538415Well great, that's your opinion. Now go and download it and prepare to have your turn times turn into hours as long as The Ottoman Empire exists. How about that one province France and India too? Great stuff.

>>517538340>I hope Troy is goodHow can people be so oblivious? You care about this franchise or do you just go around making random posts?

>>517538610Naval BattlesUnits being able to be recruited without a lord.Battle formationsDifferent ammo types for ranged units Proper siegesRoadsNo family treesWorse Diplomacy with less optionsThere is waaay more missing as well and I can go on if you would like me to

>>517539351>Units being able to be recruited without a lord.Subsequent games didn't have that either>Battle formationsThey appear in Warhammer but not for every faction. Bretonnia has a formation and there are mods that add them to every faction as well.>Different ammo types for ranged unitsThis exists in Warhammer as different units, not a unit ability. >Proper siegesOkay. >RoadsYou can build roads in WH as well. It's not in the same vain but it's still technically there.>No family treesNot really relevant in the Warhammer setting.>Worse Diplomacy with less optionsIt's still largely the same aside from one or two options that are basically irrelevant. Region trading is also available in WH as a mod. There really is not that much stuff missing as you think.

>>517539737No food mechanic except skavenNo aging on lordsNo seasonsNo trade routes to raid and get raidedNo religion No mercenaries

>>517539737if you want to believe warhammer is a perfectly fine total war game, with no stripped out features whatsoever, more power to you. Just don't be surprised when CA dumbs it down even further with each new release.

>>517533454>playing on a difficulty that makes 2 entire unit types worthlessWhy would you want that?

>>517533454you sound like you watch a lot of legendoftotalwar and only play elf factions

>>517540079>aging lords>religionHow would you even implement this with half the lords being immortal and the whole game revolving around their legends?And religion is a non-topic in the grand scheme of warhams. You want orks being split between gork n mork?

Can the game keep going forever? Can supernations form? I want the true Warhammer experience.

>>517530576Medieval 3 fucking WHEN

>>517535308No, I dont savescum.

>>517540448>And religion is a non-topic in the grand scheme of warhams. You want orks being split between gork n mork?YesAnd I want humans to be able to turn to chaos or Sigmar.And I want chaos to be able to pick their chosen god.Its not impossible to implement, far from it, its just CA is lazy and knows you will buy any dlc no matter how shit.

>>517533454Have you ever considered that its not the units being shit, but the balance of the game strongly favouring a specific playstyle due to poor balance?

>>517540448>And religion is a non-topic in the grand scheme of warhams. You want orks being split between gork n mork?the fact that they "reworked" empire and completely forgot about the faith part is shit

>>517540079>No food mechanic except skavenHardly even a mechanic since all you do is just build a building for it just like public order. >No aging on lordsAgain not relevant to the setting when you have lords who are literally thousands of years old. >No seasonsI guess that's a mechanic you could count but when you consider the map the only ones who would be subject to it are mainly empire/bretonnia. >No trade routes to raid and get raidedWho cares>No mercenariesThey exist in Warhammer but CA haven't added them yet or aren't planning to, who knows for sure.Again half of these are inconsequential and the other half is stuff that only applies in certain cases to the setting. In a historical title yeah I would expect to see this shit but in Warhammer? Nah. There's no need for half of it. The only mechanics you've mention that really fucking feel left out are Naval Battles and Sieges, and one of those is getting reworked.

Why did Tyrion betray me when I became too powerful?He remained defiant until the end, never asked for mercy.

>>517540657There's mods up on the workshop that let you do exactly this.

When they add Ogres would it be possible that you couldn't just easily wipe them away with Ungrim's Slayers?1v1 these things wreak Trolls in seconds and in the tabletop Ogres were weaker than Trolls so I feel like the Ogre Kingdoms won't be able to do anything about it.

>>517540769did you just take a picture of your monitor

>>517540926Yes again having to turn to mods for features that should have been in the game.The fact I have to play with 35 mods currently to make the game really enjoyable speaks volumes about this game.What will you do once the modding support dies?

>>517536282>Most of the previous Total War titles are good games without the need for any mods whatsoeverNo, theyre not.

>>517541976I'm not a pro so take all of this with a grain of salt.Don't expand via capturing provinces, your economy can stand on trade and pirate coves alone. Stay small but well defended. Attack targets of opportunity against enemy settlements, otherwise rattle off treasure islands to boost economy and gain experience.

>>517541893For me it's faction variety. My favorite total wars are the ones where the factions are different (Rome, Medieval) and the ones I only have a few hours in have little variety (Shogun, Empire).

I really wanted to but I don't have a PC anymore. Been thinking of getting a new one since there's nothing to do during lockdown. Maybe this fall when second wave hits and everything closes again.I miss playing weird PC games.

AHHHHH WHY WONT THEY UPDATED THE SFO PATCH FOR SOUTHERN REALMS

>>517536246Stay put and wreck their armies/cities for cash and build up your province until you can get stacks of guns and artillery. Rapidly expanding in Grombrindal/Thorgrim campaigns is a beginner mistake. It doesn't get you shit other than a lot of enemies with boring armies to fight.

>>517538340>Troy>historical>good

>>517543379so you are telling me to let grimgor pretty much own the badlands and eventually come at me with 4 army stacks?

>>517543587It shouldn't matter. Either of those LL's should be able to wipe two greenskin stacks with ease with a single stack. A few longbeards to create killzones, your LL, one or two heroes, and the rest are thunderers and artillery. Two of these armies working south should be enough to beat orctide. They're harder to beat since the greenskin update, but orcs are a pretty braindead faction to fight, especially with stunties.

>>517546047>how do I stop playing as high elves?Develop some taste>why do the skaven AI suckThey don't pick units that play to their factions strength but in the beta patch they seem to do alright on the campaign map. Ikit has no enemies and always does alright, Eshin is a coinflip whether or not he takes most of Khemribowl (unless you also start in Nehekara and they have to fight you first) and I've even seen Tretch ally with Naggarond and get big

>>517530461Vamp campaign is priority next as soon as it's patched and I finish what I'm playing, haven't played them since warham 1 so I'm looking forward to the new mechanics

>>517542612Two options1. Give ogres their massive charge damage as more than just a big charge bonus but as actual AoE shockwaves to represent how earthshaking they are2. Split it into bonus vsCav and bonus vsMonster

>>517533515both of those games had horrendously obvious historical inaccuracies.

>>517548474Clan Mors always seems to get fucking massive, just like Manletfred.Which sucks because I hate fighting Skaven.

>>517536246>>517543379Most of what user replied with is true with one exception, take black crag. You can occupy it or blow it up but do not let greenskins have it. Their whole economy is based on them owning black crag. So fuck their economy by taking it

Is there any reason not to just focus the lords in the undead factions armies?

>>517554187Defending Black Crag is also incredibly easy if you camp the square. One stack of Dwarfs should be able to fight off 2+ Greenskin stacks no problem. Just forget about the fucking walls.

>>517553560This. In like every recent campaign greentide has gotten fucked by morstide eventually.

did they remove denuvo yet?

>>517554691The game got cracked years ago

>>517554383Why would you spend 2000 a turn defending with an army when you could pay 2500 once to defend it forever? It's not like that 1 building slot was going to pay for the army.Unless we're talking legendary here.

>>517554347you play vampire counts by getting free skeletons, balling everything up, and using wind of death. i'd rather fucking play beastmemes.

>>517554993Because you need 10+ turns to get those walls maxed and in the early game Dwarf campaign with Grimgor on your ass that's an eternity. Naturally once the walls are sufficient you can carry on.

>>517555173I mean fighting against them, doesn't killing their lords make the army start crumbling immediately

>>517538340troy will be the same garbage 3 kingdoms was. but even more watered down and boring

>>517555286On lower difficulties. Still a good idea tho. Varghulfs are as high priority however.

I want Medieval 3 but I don't see it happening very soon after Warhammer 2 or 3. Plus the faction and unit variety will go down which will be too bad.

>>517530461>flyers go in>cav goes around the flank>everything else mosh pits Campaign is dull but I can’t be bothered to buy the game fore onlineI’d rather just buy some warhammer for the price their asking

>>517536002Yes, that is Lord Kroak. During one of the first Chaos invasion, he protected Itza with an energy field for decades. . When chaos went through, Lord Kroak started nuking the shit out of them. Khorn got fed up and started sending daemons imuned to magic, yet, Lord Kroak still nuked them. Afterward, khorn sent bloodthirsters and they ended up killing Lord Kroak. >Kroak proceeded to pull his sleeves up and bring out the titanic apocalypse magic that should really have been reserved for the Old Ones themselves. The army book describes it as goddamn time stopping as reality itself struggled to accommodate the tide of bullshit emitting from Kroak's mind, the world around his city folding in on itself to stem the tide of daemons.>They penetrated his defences regardless, and Kroak was ripped to shreds by no less than a dozen Bloodthirsters. Doesn't matter though, as at this point he's too goddamn powerful to give a shit about being dead, and his unstoppable spirit continues to defy them. He basically becomes the singularity at this point, as the world turns blindingly bright and the daemonic horde pretty much just stops existing altogether. Lord Kroak is fucking metal

>>517556336>>517556336>>517536427Kroak is so fucking great. There are entire factions based on the concept of trying to beat mortality, and Kroak just goes rippity jibbity and hops back to life because he feels like it

>>517555173you can also play vamps by herostacking leadership debuffs, very easy for isabella. the Trait is called Dread Incarnate. Works just like Nurgles Foul Stink and Pompous spam.

>>517558208>pc exclusive series>nintendo exclusive seriesDon't think it will work.

>>517557884dark elves are one of the easiest factions in the game. They get shitloads of cash and have Missile Melee hybrid infantry that can be recruited from minor fucking settlements. Literally only the high elves are easier and that's because they get global recruitment and their public order facility doubles as a cash facility.

After finishing a grombrindal very hard campaign I'm burned out. Waiting for part 3 so I can have a go with chaos dorfs and ogres

>>517557884>shove all your slaves in one province for infinite money>a 50/50 army of dreadspears and darkshards will last you most of a campaignI'd play them more if the units weren't so fucking boring.

>>517562890Beastmen would most logically be reworked in TWW3 given the focus on Chaos for that game. WEs may get done as part of one of the last TWW2 DLCs since they actually have a start pos on the Vortex map. Throt the Unclean of Clan Moulder seems like a given to be DLC so his abominations versus a pro-nature faction like WEs makes sense.Based on the steam entries there are 3 DLC slots left for TWW2. One would be another Lord pack, one would be the FLC Lord alongside that DLC. And last spot will hopefully be another faction to push TWW3 pre-orders like they did with Norsca, and most logical thing to do with that would be Dogs of War.

>>517563041Just play with Mixu's Mousillon mod. It is good shit and does exactly what you described. Fun to play with using the faction unlocker too.

>>517563392is it lore friendly??? or some made up shit?

>>517563559Pretty lore friendly. He mostly just reskinned the existing units with bret stuff, gave them men-at-arms, and a bunch of equivalent cav/arty options. He also replaced the Blood Knight bloodline stuff with Black Knight which are fallen Bret Knights, and they are also an equivalent Paladin hero. Give it a go, it is good shit. Would also recommend his Lords and Heroes mods as they really help spice up the world and are lore friendly.

>>517560464Can somebody explain how rats work? I've set up an ambush against them with 100% chance of success. Then the rats come, my ambush fails and then I get ambushed by two armies. What the fuck?

>>517564102Armies can also have an ambush reduction factor from their Lord's upgrade tree. So even if your Lord has a 100% chance that is before their reduction factor. Rats are also geared towards ambush so if they detect you chances are you can get ambushed pretty easily.

>>517565012Can't rats move while in ambush stance?

>>517565205Yes, Ambush replaces their default stance completely which is why you should always be the aggressor in ratland.

You can also definitely find TWW2 for sub 20, so less than 40 with the first two games and a good cut of the DLC is pretty good.

>>517562875Im drunk so if you post your steam name and which Lord specifically you want to play and why I might be generous. Quickly though I'm boutta take some melatonin and crash.

>>517573686Im terrible and dont know where to expand as vamps. They are completely surrounded. And corruption takes forever.

>>517570414>>517573686Why does no one seem to care that your special generic lords have random traits? That bugs the fuck out of me. Tomb kings already had this problem fixed in their base game. Why no one seems to be bothered about their special vamp lord getting shit traits?

>>517530461I have a shitty laptop that has trouble running DoW II even.

>>517573813Download something to negate climate penalties and secure the mountains. There's no fucking reason for a bunchof cotpses to be bothered by the cold of the snow to begin with and region penalties are fucking gay. Secure the mountain and then take the empire and then batten down the hatches for the chaos invasion. Once that's done tidy up the north, and then start spreading south until you've got everything. Only then do you attack lustria and naggaroth. Should take you about 200 turns to take the entire map. Protip leave the moot to power level heros.

>>517573624I'll keep an eye on it, thanks>>517573774That's very generous of you user, but it's okay. I'm a patient lad.To answer your question though, Lizardmen, Tomb kangs and Pirate vampires all look hella cool

>>517556708>>517556336wait so how did he become immortal? is it his spirit constantly returning?
