/twg/ - Total War General

does investing 2 skill points into a spell increase the damage it does?

Can Chaos units reinforce eachother in battle or no? I know if you attack while a subjugated unit is nearby they can, but I haven't been able to with my own units.

my nigga, my problem with empire however is how long it takes to get some decent fucking units, it shouldn't take so long just to get halberds

nth for Karl Franz

>Playing Chaos
>Only less than 3 hours
>already 50 turns turns in

Am I doing something wrong?

nth for dwarfs on the move.

If you are on a hill: Rape them

If you aren't, go around engaged units and pepper them from behind

Also is anyone having captcha issues?

it's extremely fun, I can't talk you out of it, I guess avoid if you don't like the setting.

Nah, just buy it.

Your reinforcing unit will draw a yellow arrow rowards the enemy army if it's in range to reinforce. Reinforcements need to be very, very close.

Sadly it's really fucking good.

Tempting, if only so they go after the ten dwarf stacks roaming around the place.

Try to do a confederation late game. Game just crashes to desktop immediatly. I guess me and the other AI I'm trying to combine with just have way too much and the game kills itself?

Just rush demigryphs

Chaos is a mess honestly, you either spend ages fighting norscans in the north, or spend a million turns encamped waiting to replenish after fighting in Kislev

>Orcs hard campaign
>Hahaha all these people thinking orcs are hard
>Suddenly shit hits the fan. FAST
>campaign falls apart.

>expected this game to be total shit like Rome 2
>it's one of the best
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
I SHOULD BE MISERABLE RIGHT NOW
INSTEAD OF OVERWHELMED WITH JOY

Never been into Warhammer but I like fantasy

Im having a hard time not liking what I see fellas, the desire is just too great

It's simple user, let the warp overtake you

achieved a short campaign victory on vampire counts VH.

What race should I play next? I'll do it on hard this time, very hard is just too annoying.

So what's the deal with the Zombie Dragon having better stats than Gryphons but getting absolutely shrek'd by them?

Not even Karl Franz, King Louen on a Gryphon(he doesn't have Duelist) will remove Mannfred on a Dragon with like 80% hp remaining.

I understand why they would do it from a balance perspective because Mannfred is a caster as well, but the stat cards do not indicate that Mannfred will completely get ruined without using spells. If you just compare the stats he should go even-ish with Karl and probably beat Louen because Mannfred has Armor Piercing damage.

I don't get it senpaitachi

kek

you could always buy and then refund if you dislike it
2 hours should be enough to get a feel
try a custom battle or two

Its just a good game, we really cant tell you want not to buy. I got it for 47 bucks at gmg.

Does it need to be closer than other races? Its annoying as is to suffer attrition just for being close

none of the stat cards make sense, at least on higher difficulties. playing on very hard dwarf warriors shit on a lot of low tier units and yet if you throw them against gobo spearmen they will get tied up for fucking EVER without your range units shooting the shit out of them. hammerers never kill anything, etc.

>Getgold

The instant army-raising in Kislev made Chaos way easier to deal with. I won't say trivial, because Chaos comes relatively early in the game and I wasn't that powerful, but still. If I had a beefier income I could have abused it even harder.

I'm early in empire and took my land back and the area by the vampires. should I go right to war before the land turns black?
or will the other humans fuck with me?

Does anyone else find it weird that VC's can get almost endgame units from just fighting a few battles with a shitton of skeletons and zombies? Not that I don't appreciate it, but I was expecting to be using zombies and skeletons for a while rather than almost immediately getting crypt horrors and black knights.

Can anyone confirm that awakened tribes don't colonize razed Norscan settlements? None of mine have colonized a single one

what's wrong with hammerers?

>someone saved my picture

The continued adventures of Panzergruppe Feuerbach.

>low unit detail
goddammit that's the one thing I always make sure is maxxed out
my fucking sides
user please encamp

Shiet, i guess I gotta get it. Surprised there aren't more guys coming out of the woodwork with 'HURR DURR CA SHILLS'

I guess I'll dump a few more

check out the pecs on deathclaw boys, he's fuckin built

>enemy captured: 855
Why are you collecting corpses?

>Achieved Victory as Empire
>all thats left is the western part of Kisliv under Kisliv
>Bretonnia under Bretonnia
>Tilia
>and Dwarves
>Tilia declares war on me
>send 8 stacks against them
>they have 13 stacks and 3 cities
>each stack is 1 lord, 8 handgunners, a mortar, and 10 outriders with grenade launchers

I went from playing fantasy Medieval 2, to playing Napoleon total war. They fucking wrecked my first couple of armies since I dont really do much cav except for hammer and anvil. My cavs too slow to catch them and they just kitted my dudes around the map blowing us the fuck out with grenades.

So I pulled back, made 3 new armies of nothing but Handgunners, artillery from Nuln and steam tanks. Yeah we can play that too Tilia. We can play that too.

...

Is it worth confederating early? I'm playing as the Greenskins and I have the option to take a big chunk of the south on turn 10 by confederating with the Red Fangs after beating the shit out of their main army. It gives me about 500 income per turn but some of the cities are at the very bottom and my army probably won't go down there if there is a rebellion.

I'm not even talking about the campaign though

I can load a custom with Mannfred and Louen on normal and let them right click each other and Mannfred gets ruined and I don't know why

>855 captured
what the fuck did you capture?

Its probably due to the fact they have zero range, they need the boost. Vamps were piss easy to defeat even with bottom of the barrel Empire troops in my VH campaign. The only thing that was a threat were the giant bat monsters. Pretty much against the AI, I just unleash the mother fucking doom on the vampire lord with 4-6 units of crossbowmen and his army is ded.

90 turns in and finally noticed the skill on my chaos champions to increase population growth. Fuck.... No wonder I've been having a bitch of a time at this. Hopefully I'm not super fucked. I'm shitting out population now though

They definitely do. The Baersonlings colonized that other province in the region for me. Doesn't seem to be that common though.

What difficulty?

are there any empire units that one should never build?

How long do Waaagh! armies last? do they follow you around?

I'm almost 150 turns in and they still havent, or colonized Kislev with the conquer all mod

It's medium unit detail not low. Is there even any difference between medium and high beyond "renders more soldiers further away"?

when you confederate you also get the confederated forces armies.

Do it just to get Gorfang Rotgut as a general.

So is this whole "recruiting units via your army not your city" a thing from Rome 2?

Played every TW game up to Shogun 2 then when I gave Warhammer a try it felt so restrictive to only have 1 army on the map.

Also why would I as the High King of the Dwarfs need to beg other Dwarf holds to help me defend our most important city? Shouldn't I control the Dwarf realm not just 1 city?

>you either spend ages fighting norscans in the north
This is what happened to me.

Boat bannered faggots are just stomping over everything and now Kislev and Karl fucking franz are dicking around up north too.

Welp, looks like Gelt needs to choke a bitch.

nope, only difference is high-ultra
what you said is exactly how it works for med-high

do you guys think we will ever get to play as lesser nations?
I really want to play as the Nordscans, Border Princes and so on

Pistoliers

Basic Spearmen are kinda eh given how fast you can get at least the ones with shields. Pistoliers are also kinda shitty. Helfire Volleyguns also seem to underperform.

What's the difference between high and ultra? More unit variety or some shit? Complete unit uniformity only happens on low.

how do you defeat necromantic corruption in the early game?
I'm starting as stirland and pushed east, now these lands are just going to rebel constantly because rebellions dont lower corruption when corruption is what's causing the rebellion which is totally cool in my book

>no enemy begging for his life when hovering over the execute captives button

Refunded.

>CA shill this mod that will let people Co-op as the same faction just as different LL over and over in their forums and streams
>mod comes out
>It's made by some non-native speaker
>Turns all quests off, victory conditions non existent, book of grudges disabled, no other way to obtain quest only traits or items
>Game tends to CTD post turn 40
They should have never even mentioned this atrocity.

they aren't even that bad since they have parthian shot.

just wait for enemy skirmish cav units to finish up before engaging.

Do they have an army book? If yes good news.

If not? lol....

better unit textures and unit variety i think

>Greenskins are fielding four full stacks that all move faster than me even when I use underways
>Even if I gear my empire entirely towards money I can only afford to field two stacks and some change at a time, so I always get overwhelmed by sheer numbers

What am I doing wrong? There's just so fucking many of them, if I kill one stack the next comes up and steamrolls what's left of my army

Lots and lots of warrior priests deployed on the campaign map with the right skills and building temples.

VH.

Iv closed the campaign out. Bretonnia would be too much of a slog to fight and the Dwarves are fucking scary from what iv played in custom battles. Iv kept the save in case I want to come calling on Leoncour. But Iv got the Empire, most of Kisliv, The Border Princes, and Tilia now. Bretonnia has its normal borders plus Estalia.

I actually really enjoyed the Storm of Chaos. Vampire counts allied with me and Mannfred marched North and fought with us in several battles around Middenheim and eventually Praag. Of course that didnt stop me from immediatly betraying him and moving my 3 armies that were next to Slyvania into his lands and conquering his shit.

I let him grind his armies against chaos, took his entire country in one turn, and then Karl Franzs himself attacked Mannfreds last army that he was commanding personally.

The cannons of nuln ended the argument of who is the rightful Emperor rather quickly.

I'm hopeful but also think that there's only a few minor nations that they'll actually put effort into.

Where the fuck are my ogre kingdoms?

I did get him, is he just a generic general or is he better than the random ones you hire?

>he doesnt have two units of these fuckers in every army

Explain yourself.

>start as vc
>pretty fun but getting bored around turn 100
>hear everyone saying how difficult playing orkz is because of their mechanics/low income
>decide to start an ork campaign
>one afternoon later
So are these just bad players complaining or is everyone playing on legendary?
pic related was on hard

Why the fuck would unit detail affect textures? I have textures on ultra and it all looks fine to me.

There's probably some image quality loss in my pictures though because I'm downscaling from 1080p to 1360x768 so it wont look as good here as when I'm actually playing.

The army consists of Gorfang and 3 near dead groups of goblins.

I meant unit textures/detail
you know what I meant, nigga i'm tired i'm not writing straight.

>tfw I have enough income to get two more steam tanks if I wanted to

do it faggot

Youve been memed, orcs actually have it easiest

>start in a corner
>gold and salt out the ass
>free doomstacks just for playing the game

Yeah your public order is usually shit but nothing that cant be fixed with boss tents

This isnt even mentioning grimgor being the killiest legendary lord

Post webms or at least fancy screenshots.

Can you rename the army to Panzergruppe Feuerbach?

kk

Holy shit hellblaster volley gun is garbage
It shoots fast for sure but it does absolute shit damage, a direct hit on an orc can't even kill a basic boy
it doesn't even knock anything down

>poor little bald priest

yeah that pretty much sums up my experience
rebellions aren't even really a problem, just free exp and a way to raise public order

>Finished off Britonnia as Chaos
>Move on to Empire
>Destroyed the capital
>Empire only has 6 settlements left
>Two of the largest other Empire factions join confederation
>Empire is now 18 settlements

Just end this suffering.

> Tomb Kings still not announced

>blacked

>4 empire stacks in Norsca, along with 6 varg stacks, and the two tzeentch stacks

FOR THE LOVE OF KHORNE, HELP

How fucking new are you
