/twg/- Total War General

You called?

I'd like you to show me another TT unit that can singlehandedly kill half of the other guy's army if he doesn't come prepared.

Is this Messi?

Yeah at first I thought it was a giant bat, but then I think it was just an undead pegasus.

wiki.totalwar.com/w/Greenskin_Roster

Big 'Uns and boyz are different yeah. No Immortulz on the list, but I'm pretty sure they've been mentioned a couple of times

So let me get this straight.

The campaign advisor for everyone is the old man who's actually The Lord of Change and every faction gets a unique appropriate battle advisor?

I've seen a Bretonnian looking peasant and a skeleton. Did I mistake them for it?

Is magic overpowered?

Like, that Net spell would basically allow you to completely invalidate the purpose of shock cav, wouldn't it?

>Unit of shock cav charging
>Gets stopped 10 meters from you line
>Send in spears to murder them

>Bretonnian looking peasant and a skeleton
Those are just the portrait option for the bottom left instead of the unit card.

they have been shown, it's just a banner for black orcs

lame as fuck

>the old man who's actually The Lord of Change

>Implying it isn't the bird

Oh. Damn and here I thought I'd get a Goblin advisor for shits and giggles.

>who's actually The Lord of Change

>89
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

>Banner for black orcs

That is indeed lame, but looking at the roster the greenskins got quite the selection, so that's good.

>The advisor is the guy from the trailer
>He's actually a Lord of Change

Did you see the thing?

youtube.com/watch?v=5et0A5sDwtY

I'm gonna be disappointed as SHIT if there aren't unique intros for each legendary lord

WHEN?

It's a hellsteed which is basically a zombie pegasus

We saw on the character level up sheet as the mount that you can unlock by grabbing a horse

>TWW trailer has almost 5mil views

The time has come for PC exclusives to shine

I figured they would be a quest reward for the longest time.

Nope. Shitty banner.

But how is that possible? There are only 7 million people worldwide!

Do we have any idea how many copies they already sold?

All we know is that the high king edition sold out a few weeks ago

stop baiting

No we have to wait 1-2 week until it appears on steamspy

WHEN

>1 week, 3 days and 20 hours

WHEN?

It's been sitting at a respectable spot on the Steam top sellers list for quite a while despite not even being out yet.

...

...

I'm bored as hell and have pretty good computer does anyone like want screenshots of certain units/factions?

GIVE MEE LEGIONNSSSS
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHH
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...

GIB GIB GIB GIB

>tfw I might have to decimate an army for the first time because of my damn wife in The Last Cuckold

Decimate the wife instead.

But he loves her.

If only I could.

Make a deal with God

I'd get him to swap our places

It looks like there will be. It doesn't really make sense for there to only be one for Grimgor unless it's specifically for the tutorial, which I would have thought would have been with the Empire since they're the most standard out of all the factions in the first game.

They would have to. The factions are too different for one tutorial with one faction covering everything.

I think the OP links need to be trimmed at this point.

Honestly we should consider just getting rid of the Atilla links and having someone write up a pastebin with some info on all the old Total Wars.

Also, the Campaign stream links should just be a single link to their Twitch Past Broadcasts page Which I already fucking did a few OPs back

Yeah, what the point of the Attila dlc trailers anyway? Bin those links

Meloncat are you there? Did you get anything Warhammer related from Dresden?

Am I the only one that doesn't see the appeal in Vampire counts?

no

Anyone know the details for campaign co-op? Is it only going to be two human players or is there any possibility of there being more, either at release or in the future.

What's not to like about lots of skellingtons and big monsters?

We really don't know much about it

I don't see how you could not like any of Warhammer's factions. They got style, my dude.

>Hating based skellingtons

Reminder that playing Vampire Counts at launch is dumb since they're the first faction that'll get add-on content.

Speaking of Vampire counts, how the fuck are dwarves going to deal with ethereal units?

Flamethrowers and shit

rune magic, rune weapons, firedrakes

Poor guy .

Hope to Christ that you can manage to hit them with your flame throwers and shit.

"accident"

Reminds me of that scene in Master and Commander where the Doc gets shot.

Do wolves and monsters get magic ladders?

I wish zombies could pile up against the wall and be unliving, fleshy staircases for the other units

interesting shit? nah, get some invisible ladders instead

...

It feels like big monsters are a lot more vulnerable to dying in auto resolves.

This makes me happy, anything that discourages auto-resolving 95% of battles is a-okay with me.

>gonna play co-op
>cant auto-resolve because my big units are gonna get fucked

It's like it's always been, the auto-resolve fucks over top-tier units. In R2 it was incredible how auto resolve would lose me half a unit of elephants, while playing the same battle would result in almost no damage to any unit. Same for T3 heavy cav in Attila. Properly used they take about 5 casualties and kill 150+, while the auto resolve seems to think they take on the whole enemy army by themselves.

When is this from?

youtube.com/watch?v=M-jQnJXNH-s

Also ranged units are beyond useless it seems

>Also ranged units are beyond useless it seems
Why?

Well they do little damage

Seriously?

>The secondary LLs (Ungrim, Azhag, Kemmler, ect.) costs less points to buy in custom battle, sometimes by a lot

So I suppose that more or less confirms that they're not really supposed to be balanced against each other.

Early tier units with no upgrades to damage or attack speed. It looks like that across the board.

Dwarfs have 73 technologies and everyone else has 30-36.

They seemed fine in the Rifles vs. Zombies video.

those are zombies though, they have no armor and low health.

MOUNTED DEMIGRYPH KNIGHTS GUNNERS

ROYAL VAMPIRE MOUNTED ARCHER CAVALRY.

two stacks of them could still be defeated by a single line of rifles though, so the rifles can't be all bad.

Plus we've seen how damaging a couple of volleys of rifle fire can be to a terrorghiest, as well as how much damage the Bretonnian archers dealt in the siege gameplay.

Basically speaking, all evidence points to the fact that you're wrong.

I don't think ranged units are as powerful as they are in attila and R2, no. Not that it necessarily a bad thing but its hard to judge until we play. From what I've seen the battle pace is way too fast anyways and with more powerful gunpowder/ranged units it would be over even sooner.

Ranged units are basically mandatory, you're gonna get fucked in the ass by everything from Skirmishing cav to flying units if you don't bring any. You need them as a hard counter even if they're worse against ground units than they used to be.

Are there any ork gunners in this game?

>ork

It's "Orc"

This isn't 40k, the Greenskins don't use any technology more complicated than a catapult or a big slingshot.

You get Orc and Goblin 'Arrer boys who are archers, but gunpowder is a bit of a mystery to greenskins.

Not really, they might attempt to use scavanged cannons and gunpowder weapons but never to any significant effect since they can't operate them and they'd rather be up close and fighting anyways.

Does Archaon get a dragon?

And I mean an actual dragon not wyvern

please say yes I don't want to use Mannfred

I don't actually know.

Chaos DOES have Chaos Dragons as a mount option, but given that Archaon gets his own unique mount that only he can use in the form of his demon horse Dhorghar I don't know if he actually gets access to the Dragons.
