What did he mean by this?

>zombies in your undead army

HERESY OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE

Its ded

so, why is karl franz so sexy?

chaos endtimes too easy, everyone wants o be friends and suck your dick even after the crisis is averted

as soon as chaos is beaten everyone should go back to fucking eachother over, and chaos itself need to be MUCH MUCH more dangerous and larger in number

how do I get good at this game? I'm always poor and armies 2/3 my size crush me. flanking is a micromanaging nightmare

I refunded it to my steam wallet and then bought it back 2 days later because I realized I was just bad and now I'm on the path to not being trash

...

Fucking dwarfs & their mountain/badland settlements are a pain to get to & maintain momentum

May go gather more

>rank seven
>still fighting rebel beginners faction
what?

Playing Chaos feels a bit tedious.
Having to raze half the map takes a long time.

>Does not seem anything like Rome 2

I don't understand
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

Has any one managed to bring the dissidents in Sylvania to heel and vassalize them as the empire?

...

I wasn't aware the Empire can take Bretonian settlements. Interesting.

Don't do it corruption sucks.
Maybe there should be a mod.

noice

I just play around in custom battles until I get a good grasp on how to combat certain units and how to use units effectively, not a bad strategy if you're ass like me

There is a pause button for a reason.

>Varg coming for me

>heh they'll have half strength by the time they get to Fort orstadt
>VAMPIRIC CORRUPTION GET

>WHAT
>proceed to gank&raze my fort

FUCKING NORTHMEN

Fuck you and your mods you pillock. You're as bad as this whiney asshole who plays on easy mode.
>not engaging the enemy on a open field instead of getting caught in a city and surrounded
>Mad that AI reacts to him corrupting their lands

Raid stance prevents attrition

Will all Warhammer games from now on be based on Age of Sigmar?

I don't know what to feel about this

Is it me or are these warscape games far more difficult than the older ones?

I agree with the cartoony, I wish it had a GoT or Attila aesthetic

I had a huge war of attrition against them, eventually after many turns of; attacking, retreating, replenishing, attacking etc..They began requesting peace, knew I had them on the ropes so kept at it Imperial Guard style. Throwing army after army into sylvania until only castle drakenhoff remained. They asked to become my vassal the turn I was about to re-enter sylvania. Accepted as the northmen were becoming a nuisance in the north. Dwarfs hate me now but oh well, who cares about the stunties.

>plays on Hardest setting
>AI moves tactifully and plays to advantages
>Bumbtits gets mad about it

How many armies you got?

>crack when
what did he mean by this?

My first TW game. :(

What are those bases made of?

Some board stuff. Guy off of reddit cut em for me. Smooth top and a rough, particle boardish bottom

How do we improve Bretonnia?

Finish it.

This is my favorite.

I haven't used Kemmler, but he probably has the Death magic path as well, just get the single target nuke from that and spam it on the enemy general in every fight, especially against other vamps since when the general dies their army will slowly join him.

My only complaint thus far is how heavily it seems the AI favors skirmishing units (Marauder Horsemen / Pistoleers / etc), and how the only real way to counter a skirmishing unit is your own skirmishing unit that can chase them.

At least as Chaos, that's all I've found. Dogs can chase them the entire map but will never catch. Other horsemen just cancel them out.

Also when you set your own skirmishers to skirmish, they will run a little ways when someone gets in range, then stop. They do not re-engage on their own - you have to manually tell them to attack again unless something is chasing them.

10 hours thus far, all of it on the Chaos campaign. First time around started fucking with humans and Karl Franz decided he wasn't going to have that and as soon as I started seiging Kislev, EVERY HUMAN FACTION with a max stack showed up to wreck my shit.

Second time around decided that wasn't a good idea and figured I would awaken all the tribes - so I rolled along the North coast and wrecked a ton of Northmen shit. Got Archaon to around 20-25, had everything but the top tier. Chosen, etc.

Then Tzeentch pops up and says "hey nice army, would be a shame if something happened to it" and shits out a lord of change and a 1000 man elite army that makes a beeline straight for Archaeon and while I won, it was only at the loss of basically my entire force, meaning I got picked off shortly thereafter.

TL;DR - Chaos is hard.

2/6?

3/6?

>freeing urki instead of slaughtering them all
Dumbass got what he deserved.

4/6?

5/6?

IT WAS ALL A PART OF MY PLAN

6 out of fucking 7, and i skipped the top part even

7/7

Holy fuck, im playing as the dwarfs and i almost destroyed the greenskin faction, all but their capital city, how the fuck am i supposed to take that with only one army, there are too many orks inside

Literally the popup says something to the tune of, "How like Tzeetch to do this~!"

Yeah. How like him. To shit on his own faction. Yay. Guess I'll replay as Empire.

>rome 2 was good

Just make an army with lots of crossbows and catapults. The ai is a retard and will keep sending units to man the walls, allowing you to pick them off.

... Just maintain the siege? Eventually they start taking huge attrition damage and then you can fight them when they're at half strength.

Or get a second stack to reinforce your main army.

He's completely right you know.

>mfw you actually think this.

I dont have moni tho
Is it that huge, because they have some pretty good units in there as well and im pretty early game so i dont have anything good yet

Except he isn't. If you don't think Ashigaru spam or arrow siege spam is casual as fuck and breaks Shogun 2 then you are so bad at Total War that you really shouldn't give an opinion on it.

And every TW game is like that except Attila and Warhammer, really.

I'm guessing this game has big flaws and will be improved with some patches and mods

So I'll play as orcs first then much later do an Empire (my favourite) game once things are deepened

I do wish there was a mode that added comfy economic management like EB

I really enjoyed the Warhammer mod for MTW:2. I hope this isn't more shallow than that.

You can tell by the typing style is some underage twat who doesnt understand this hame revolves around the table top, not the old franchises. We play our battles on open fields and city battles when its a capital or walled city. Its even in the books that Order armies sally out and meet the enemy to avoid the city burning

>arrow siege spam

Oh you mean that thing you can totally do in TW Warhammer.

No you can't, if you set a unit just outside a bowmans view range and then walk an archer around his back to fire on him then he will move to get out of the fire instead of sitting in it like a retard.

kys scrub you are too shit at TW to even give your shitty newbie opinions faggot.

all correct.

ashigaru spam does not work online in land battles.

The chaos in my game were very underwhelming. Got wiped out with ease by mostly my allied factions

WHERE IS THE BLOOD i WAS PROMISED?

Its kinda funny because in release day and the day after. People were genuinely crying that the Chaos Event was way too fucking strong.

Now that we are weeks into the game, suddenly the chaos event is easy shit.

Didn't even know about that strat, doesn't sound like it has anything to do with a siege though. I was referring to just spamming an army of canons and archers and just killing the entire enemy army as they keep sitting on the wall.

Warhammer Online nailed the art style. I wish they were using that. I find the style that TW used just hideous

Wait a week or two and then you can buy it for $5.

What difficulty are you playing at?

Just wiped the dwarfs out, made Karak Azhul my vassal and unified every tribe except the Top knots, whom I'm kicking the shit out.

After a few false starts ending up with me getting horribly raped by random doomstacks, it's a nice feeling

RIP WH:O

Who?

You guess is wrong? There are no technical issues in the game. No patch is coming because there is nothing patch. No mods are required either and quite honestly I shit on modfags since the mods out make the game easier, not better.

Skinmods are okay though.

I have a friend who I played it with. We talk about it a lot.

It could've been great. But they didn't balance shit and focused on PvE content in the lands of the dead. What the fuck was wrong with them? Did they want that WoW money that bad? THEY HAD A GREAT PVP GAME! And they were going up against Wrath of the Lich King for fucks sake. WoW at it's peak!

At least we'll always have the art style and emulated servers to enjoy. But still.

>that one guy who wants every fantasy game to look like WoW

*cringes*

Also lol @ the Bethesda shills turning up in these threads and claiming that the game looks 'watered down', that the weapons don't really seem to connect, and that all the units look the same, which is exactly the criticism that was levelled at Halo: Doom edition, which they're trying to sell, unsuccessfully, because it sucks.

A DLC where you can cyber-paint and remodel your units is not only welcome, it's fucking mandatory. Maybe higher upkeep costs could function as points on your army roster.

>my fucking sides

That would be great, has anyone mentioned it to CA? Otherwise it won't actually happen.

>I shit on modfags since the mods out make the game easier, not better.

They do.

The first mods that came out and that people were using removed agents and provide more income.

kek'd

looks absolutely nothing like warhammer fantasy battle and instead looks more like a fan creation (which it is)

stop crying that a warhammer game actually looks like the tabletop game its based on

A version more complex than the one in Dawn of War would be quite literally great.

hello redd it

>Asking for DLC that you could easily make mods of for your shitty ideas

I usually wait that army leaves it's garrison, and then proceed to buttwreck the city.

...

...

Maim kill burn
Maim kill burn

I want more chaos

>*action*

First of all, fuck off

Second: It's not WoW style you shitstain

I can respect WoW for what it did with it's art style: Embrace the technological limits and work around it with your texture and polygonal style.

>Warhammer Online
>Fan Creation

???
???????????

You know that GW had an on-site person in their developers' offices that had to approve everything, right? It was licensed and everything?

Is it? Can you explain (or someone) the depth of the economic and strategic system? I'm worried it is shallow based on comments I've read

I've also heard complaints of crashes/stuttering (on high end rigs)

I don't have that much cash right now so spending 60$ now needs to be worth it. I enjoy Attila and modded Rome 2 (the former more), but remember lots of things in Attila had to be fixed in the first months, like Chosen Uar Warriors being absurdly OP

>muh mods
Kill yourself mememan, such feature should be in the actual game.

>left chest plate
>daewood
Fucking koreans.

I'm a huge WHFB fan, the reason I want realistic graphics is because the art in the books had this awesome, detailed artstyle that I found very nice compared to the glowy/chunky fantasy stuff of other universes

So I would want it to look like the detailed, realistic, moody look of the fluff art. Well, not the Adrian Smith stuff, the later art.

>I enjoy Attila
Then you will enjoy this.

Things removed: sanitation(useless mechanic until Skaven gets announced), family trees(useless mechanic, the game doesn't work in years, nobody ages as time doesn't move forward, and if it does its incredibly slow).

Nvidia high ends have been reported(here) with some issues, AMD CPU have been reported with some issues. Yet, people with high end Nvidia and AMD CPU have been also reported to run the game perfectly with no issues.

Everyone agrees optimization is better than ever.

Hardly any crashes, the crashes reported were people using mods.

wait they abandoned the gritty artstyle of the other games? does it look like civ6?

is there no fucking blood?

>the art in the books
Fanfiction. The art of the painted units is what matters. Can't believe someone out there still twists their mind into thinking stupid google images are meant to represent a table top toy war game, that's so early 00s.

Hard, I made too little enemies it seems

>Things removed

You forgot the food and the tax adjustment.

There hasn't been blood in total war games for like, 7 years now or something. Shogun 2 removed them and never returned since then.

Tax isn't removed.

Food is removed indeed. while there is no excuse for it, I never liked it so whatever. Any feature that sidetracks the player from warring is awful in my opinion.
