I'm sure this is trying to be accurate to what the actual map is supposed to look like, but i feel like the gap between the southlands and south america is too big.
Colton Carter
Tilt the Southlands counter clockwise about 20 degrees and move it farther East. It'll have to look something like that to make sense at all.
Matthew Wilson
It's because all of the TWW2 landmasses are too big on that map relative to TWW1.

Shame there won't be any naval battles or unique units/buildings from the Southern Realms.

Do lizardmen re-use fimir animations? I can't tell.
Tyler Baker
That's just because Ulthuan is way too big in that map.
>Skaven get their big expensive monster >Beastmen do not
PEE POOS BTFO
Nathaniel Reed
Why are Hellpit Abominations in, but Jabberslythes aren't?
Jonathan Evans
>two ruin parts
This is where queek and skolk (i think, that's his name) are right? queek in the badlands with kroq?
Connor Allen
Praise be to the Horned One
Andrew Turner
Skaven? Who would have thought?
Gavin Rogers
I don't care about making a 2nd underground map or naval battles. I just want CA to fix sieges, to make towns and cities like in Atilla.
Brandon Perez
aww yisss
Austin Lewis
They probably worked the Charlemagnes team to death for that monster. People fucking dying.
Jonathan Hall
How long til SFO reskins Rat Ogres to be Ghorgons and Hellpit aboms to be Jabberslythes? :^)
Ian Cox
Don't think so, they don't look the same to me. And in one of their dev videos they talked about the bespoke animations they did for lizardmen.
Ethan Thompson
What is it with the Charlemagne meme, I apparently was not around when that came into being.
Easton Stewart
Why do the Empire and the Dwarves continue to use melee infantry? It seems like with their technology they could arm themselves like a nation from the 18th-19th century. Empire has steam power and dwarves have fucking helicopters.
Hunter Gray
Jabberslythes are a shit anyway, their lore doesn't match their looks. Ghorgons on the other hand...
Aaron Rivera

CA were retarded and wasted time and resources on a minicampaign no one asked for. Though that didn't stop the Wood Elves from getting one of the most complete rosters in the game.
Thankfully they listened to us and have stopped with minicampaigns now. More lords and complete rosters are now in our future.
Anthony Evans
>waah waah waah Nobody cared about the jabberslythe until it was dropped. Not a single tabletop beastmen player used them, nobody was hyped to use them, but apparently it's now some sort of tragedy they're not in the game. Yeah, nah, fuck off.
Robert Williams
One of the devs in some of the early videos said that they needed to make entirely new animations because any of existing ones were not fitting Lizardman.
Lincoln Baker
Beastmen released with a shitty roster missing core units. Including a missing jabbers. CA claim that making jabbers would cost the entire budget of making the art for Charlemagne so they didnt bother.
Now anything hard to make (jabbers, hellpit, hydra) are compared to their Charlemagne cost to call CA out on their bullshit.
Luke Bell
Irondrakes are strong you double gobbo.
Ethan Fisher
Faggot, if you play the Beastmen campaign there are Jabberslythes. In events
Jacob Gonzalez
Will we ever see Nagash as a LL? I want to use him to fuck up the world so badly.
Luis Watson
T-Thanks, CA.
Caleb Lopez
Not really
But against a horde of armorless rats they will be a core unit for dwarfs.
Unless they get sniped that is.
Carter Powell
People were hyped for the Gorgon.
And Taurox
Nobody gives a fuck about Khazrak and he is the worst faction leader in the game which a large margin.
Nicholas Hall
Cute slave-scribe
Ayden Hill
Makes me wonder if they were actually planned to be included at some point.
Wyatt Sanchez
>HE not present HE trailer confirmed BTFO out of rats with kickass Star Dragon.
Adam Russell
the ghorgon on the other hand...
Levi Campbell
Yes, after getting massacred by Best Elves and Lizardmen they need to bully some rats to regain their confidence.
Aiden Peterson
I'm extremely worried that skaven will be like the other factions in that there is no real penalty to just making entire armies of elite units. Skaven is all about the hordes of shitty rats, I don't want entire armies of doomwheels, hellpit abominations, or rattling gunners.
Jayden Green
Who gives a shit for TT balance this isnt fucking TT.
The BM cost was a ripoff for its missing units you fucking shill.
Joshua Walker
>im worried the one sided system of army progression that has been in all tw games will be in this tw game You know skaven will be nothing but elite armies like every single tw army.
20 stacks were a mistake. We need logistics costs and harsher penalties for stacking elites.
Isaiah Long

Aiden Ortiz
Fucking try it scum
Hudson Taylor
Shut the fuck up charlemagnephobo
Charles Stewart
holy shit OP is bloated with info
might need some trimming
Ryan Brown
I'm just gonna march around with as many stacks of clanrats as I can. Maybe it'll be more challenging that way Plus one stack of doomwheels
Dominic Kelly
Now that I think about it, the Dark Elf trailer should have been a Carthage remaster with the High Elves sitting around discussing where Malekith would strike next.

Grayson Martin
Lost all my clowns in the fight
Bentley Watson
I dunno, his End Times model is shit. Floating around like you're too good for everyone is a boring battlefield centerpiece.
>Pictured: A man beyond petty notions of morality or fashion sense
Isaac Lee
You could either put a system like the one TT had, where you had to take a force of normal units as a base and then add elites and rares with no chance to spam them. Or you could put a hard cap on elite units like some older games did. Or you could remove the 20 unit limit and give stacking penalties if you have too many troops in the same province, with elites being more resource-heavy and thus harder to sustain if spammed. Or you could have a manpower system like in DeI so that you have a small pool for elites and other specialists, thus forcing you to rely on common units.

That model was too goofy even by the standards of when it came out. The new one is leagues better.
Andrew Ramirez
Is there a mod that makes ai army composition make more sense? I don't want the to be "better" per say, just more rational. Its weird when a standard north-man incursion is packed with a bunch of exotic monstrous units.
Tyler Torres
You want expanded building slots, the reason the AI gets shoehorned into garbage army comps is they don't have enough slots for multiple military buildings
Asher James
>Meanwhile Franz gets "cowardly" and "likes Chaos".
Gabriel Brown
I remember reading something about there being another model but they fucked up the head or something.
Ian Barnes
When will this bullying ever stop?
Brody Evans
Yep, but it's not updated yet, were are waiting
Matthew Watson
>Slaanesh Throgg
Alexander Brooks
>one one-night dangle with a daemonette and you get branded for liking chaos
Zachary Evans
Are the ai even constrained by their buildings? I thought they just willed their armies into existence whenever the game thought it appropriate.
Charles Watson
Basically how I play Gelt with enough of the missle damage/armour/ward save talents
Nolan Campbell
They have money and public order cheats but they can still only recruit based on their buildings.
Angel Myers
Lads are you excited for all the new races to have random bullshit events that cripple your economy and/or saddle you with battlefield penalties for ten turns and can stack on top of one another.
>tfw never bothered hiring jBray-Shamans or Orc Shamans because they kept wounding themselves at the start of every turn.
William Thomas
I experimented with something like that as well but concluded that you need at least six units of melee line infantry. Guns just aren't effective enough.
Josiah Bennett
At least he doesn't smell like piss
Brody Davis
How's Kemmler been since the update?
Connor Phillips
Actually the devs explained that their motion captures for the Lizardmen weren't "animalistic" enough so they had one of their staff feed a broom up his ass and motion captured him lurching around to get the effects they wanted.
Noah Cooper
>watch one of Party Elites videos where he talks about what CA told him >we're going to see a race that's "really good at sea, that they can't say anything about right now"
What is it?
Carson Smith
Is this a joke.

I'm pretty sure the High Elves have the best navy but obviously they have already been announced.

John Morales
Khazzy is ok with his tsundere Todbringer thing but Total War games can't really represent rivalries very well.
Morthur works better since he's basically the living antithesis of Welfs.
I can't even remember who the winged retard is.
Luis Kelly
Fimir were developed after Lizardmen - it's possible the Fimir use the same skeleton as a Lizardmen unit, if not the same animations too. Skinwolves are based on Strigoi skeleton, but with some new animations.
Mason Ramirez
The no naval battles race.
Who gives a fuck if somethign is good at sea when there are no battles? Oh cool bonus to autocalc, fuck you.
Chase King
Brings me back to Shogun 2
