/twg/ - Total War General

they'll fuck everything up trying to balance the game for multiplayer, and then maybe a mod will fix it.

Mazdamundi campaign traits, plus -50% upkeep for temple guard in his army.

I fucking hate this shit
why the fuck can't they balance differently between MP and SP? jesus christ.

Just play modded games.

Get your roll on.

I understand that, i'm asking what i'm going to do as Malekith, i'm going to get attrition and PO problems because Morathi spreads Chaos corruption ?

KILL RATS

ideally you just keep her in her starting location.

Just beat up your mom, it's perfectly normal if you are Dark Elves.

>Diplomatic relations: -10 with most factions
Can I get the lore rundown on this?

Yes, why wouldn't you?

So, I can actually kill Morathi as Malekith ?

They said on stream its because Mazdamundi wants to genocide everyone and he cant tell the difference between high elves and dark elves

sure

If you aren't part of the plan, you're gonna get Slann'd.

>They said on stream its because Mazdamundi wants to genocide everyone

Not true, he wants to Genocide Chaos first. THEN everyone else if the plan says so.

I buy the "can't tell the difference" thing though

Slann are pretty autistic. Mazdumandi less then most, but that giant saying a lot. He might still murder you because your belt is laced through your belt loops left to right when this 24,000 year old tablet you've never seen and can't read anyway CLEARLY specifies right to left.

>starting from turn 1 again

Didn't he say yesterday that he would start from turn 50+ today so we won't have to watch super early game again?

Do we know the starting units and traits for any other lords? I wanna see Kroq Gar's traits

elves belong on Ulthuan, dwarves in the world edge mountains, humans to Nehekhara etc. If you are not at your assigned positions, you need to get slann'd

>Mazdamundi
>every lizardman faction isn't immediately friendly to you

Can't wait to have a literal army of Temple Guard. Higher power-level Slann have legions of Temple Guard at their disposal so this is pretty lore accurate.

It was shown yesterday. He gets -50% upkeep for Saurus infantry, which is a fucking godlike bonus to have.

That's damn good. Looks like we have to wait for Tehenhauin to get any Skink bonus

Lizardmen keep to themselves but are portrayed as good guys as they fight Chaos and reddit rats. Elves, stunties and humies were irrelevant at the height of the Old Ones' time so the Lizardmen tolerate them to some degree only because they have the same group of enemies.

Their logic and motivations are foreign to the other good guy races.

Including temple guard? Fucking insane

>implying

>elves were servants of the old ones

what

As mentioned before, the Slann are autistic and incredibly petty.

It's one thing to ruin High Elves. It's another fucking matter for the devs of the game to have the audacity to FUCKING LAUGH ABOUT IT! I wish I didn't preorder this shit fucking game, fuck CA.

sshh, enjoy being servants again to your betters :^)

>that spell
>those traits

lmao the absolute STATE of redditlizards right now

>implying you know more than andy hall.

the spells look a lot better here than in the youtube video they just posted. Did they have the vfx cranked down or something?

its because of twitch's shitty compression.

>high elves were created to pour wine and polish armour for the old ones
>that was the entire purpose of their existence, to be menial servants

>Tomb- Temple Guards

tomb kings confirmed

>9 DAYS

>Andy hall says he just makes stuff up
kek, what a guy

No I mean the youtube video looked aweful in comparison

truly /ourguy

Looks like Mazdamundi gets the 3-point upgrades for his spells for only two points.

based Dogbert playing on VH

redpill me on goblin chariots, are they good ?
how should i use them

Hey, I've just bought FOTS after playing tens of hours of base Shogun 2. Are there any mods making good changes for the battleAI?

Make High Elves Great Again

>Pirates of the Far Sea
>"THE EMPIRE"

>selects pirates of the far sea
>THE EMPIRE

>name is clearly italian
DOGS OF WAR
BOYS

>Total warham 1 campaign music
Lame

That's beyond lazy. Expect the soldiers to yell about Sigmar on the battle as well. Like Tileans and Estalians do.

Gah fuck, I chose the worst time to ask an actual game related question, didn't I?

At least we going to have few new music tracks

there aren't. the base AI is good enough

wait for your dlc packs, goys

only $10 per minor faction, look forward to it!

Battle AI is largely umoddable I believe.

As someone oblivious to the Dogs of War, how do they differ from the Empire? And what factions would they replace, new world humans and Tilea/Estalia?

less than half the price of a small box of GW minis sounds good

Maybe they just like Empire okay

>in a generic Dark Elf battle they throw out a random Bladewind that get's Malekith 300 kills with a single cast
>Malekith get's an arcane item that allow him to seriously buff his winds regen and cast way more than most other wizards
>in a choke-point bridge battle made to show off Mazdamundi, where we have the best possible scenario for killy magic, he does fuck all
>Mazdamundi gets no bonus to winds regen at all

Do they not understand what makes magic strong?

Malekith is LITERALLY a stronger wizard than Mazdamundi

Grace said they're announcing the pre-load later this week
>tfw grace answers two of your questions

Thanks senpai

Good, everything looks fucked at the moment.

Blade Wind can devastate entire armies whilst the most powerful wizards are stuck with a shitty mishmash of game 1 spells which remain pretty mediocre.

you have to go back

The dude controlling him didn't make much of a point to cast many spells. Mazadamundi sat on 30 magic points for a good while

Windblast spam has been looking pretty strong to be honest. At least against these low tier armies.

Malekith is going to be Mannfred tier I think, strong as fuck but the strongest spells will slowly be nerfed over patches till he's still strong, but not brokenly strong.

Why is magic so J U S T?
Ruination of cities is absolute shit.
Come of casandora is a fucking snowball.
Wind of pain which is best wind is impossible to cast perfectly as all other winds.
All vortex spells aside from pit of shades are too random.
In the end only good damage spells are pit of shades,foot of gork and dwellers below.
Direct damage spells tend to be good though with spirit leech,faith of bjuna,flock of doom etc.
Lore of metal and fire are literally useless on the other hand.

>Tomb Kings still not announced.

>he isn't watching the official stream

dat elf waifu in the splash

have you used unit buffs?

Wind spells can now be rotated, so you dont need perfect positsioning anymore.

go where?

>HE STARTED RECRUITING WITHOUT INITIATING THE RITE OF FEROCITY
>HE DIDN'T SET HIS PROVINCE TO RECRUITMENT COMMANDMENT
>HIS ARMY ISN'T SYMMETRICAL

3 SAURUS SHIELDS
2 SAURUS SHIELDS SPEARS
2 JAVELINS
2 SKIRMISHERS
2 STEG
JDFKJHADSFHAS

AAAAHHH
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Magic can be extremely impactful. The problem is just that a lot of spells have really specific and obscure conditions in which they are effective.

MOOOO

MOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'M LEARNING YOU GUYS

HE DEVELOPED THE FUCKING GAME

Dogbert is just a content/community guy I'm fairly sure

>Dogbert developing game
I wish

>artillery is shit
>magic is shit

do you think the Warhammer devs gather around a poster for Medieval 2 at the end of every working week and worship it with candles and incense?

Skink Chief seems like a fucking awesome hero

he is just a witch hunter

I swear they purposely hols them down because both magic and cannons were broken shit in the tabletop

>Baine

Why would you worship a shitty outdated game that aged like dick cheese?

>HE DISBANDS ONE OF HIS FEW RANGED UNITS FOR THE SKINK CHIEF

AHHHHHHHHH

I don't remember the witch hunter getting large mounts and poison attack.
