/twg/- TOTAL WAR GENERAL

Oh shit, can you play as averland?

What provinces does VC get unique buildings?

Is there a list of unique buildings for each faction?

Why is handgunner upkeep/price as high as it is?

The primary appeal of those kinds of firearms is that you can give them en masse to shitty untrained peasants and have them kill things way more expensive than them. Increasing their costs defeats their purpose

And where the fuck are my pikes? How do I do pike and shot with no pikes?

this is all contained in just one dlc?

>tfw Manny throws himself in front of the chaos horde for you

Almost makes me feel bad for crashing into him after he stops the invasion

Also
Some based dwarfs are guerrila razing the norscans

Based as fuck desu

I know right? It's like the game is a sand castle and Chaos is some dickhead who comes and stomps on it. You're having plenty of fun before they show up, but then you have to spend all your time telling them to leave you alone rather than building more sand castles.

>enemy orcs have one general left alive with like zero hp
>attack with my smaller supporting stack
>10 units vs 1 guy with 1 hp, game says the guy has like 25% chance to win
>fuck that, go into manual combat
>first arrow flies at the orc, he dies
>"Decisive victory"
I wasted two 5 minute load screens for this
Auto resolve math are fucked

TWW may be the first Total War where I finish the game with every single faction and don't get bored.
I'm finishing up second VH campaign now and can't wait to play legendary Empire next.

THIS THREAD DOES NOT HAVE MY CONSENT!

No, it will be like the free content updates in Atilla, it will come out alongside a paid DLC probably. The lores and heroes are probably going to be the same FLC though. You are going to have to add a new hero when you add a new lore of magic.

anyone have any good strategic tips? I feel like I am a shit commander. Like what the fuck do you do to a enemy camping a hill and not moving? Especially when you have basic units?

Also, are goblins good AT ALL in green skin army? I want to make a army mostly of goblins lead by a goblin grreat shaman.

Also.. what the fuck role does azag the slaughterer play compared to grimgor? Aren't they both supposed to be melee except I think azhag has access to black magic?

you got the superior form
HALBERDS BABY

Who do you think the new LL for Vampires will be? Krell? Vlad? Neferata?

Anyone tried this mod out?

>5 minute loading screens
why didn't you install the game on your SSD user?
you do have an SSD, right?

This is WRE attila levels of annoying

next expansion when

Anything other than a Strigoi would piss me the FUCK off.

Vlad, he is the only named Lord who hasn't been put in the game yet. So far they have kept pretty consistent with what constitutes a Lord. Krell is a named hero unit.

>step out of the settlement for a moment to sack a neighboring one
>Grimgor nuttin' personnals it immediately through the Underway, sacking it before vanishing again

next week

>be orcs
>Chaos invasion 2: electric boogaloo begins
Suddenly 3 Bjornling ships land in Southwestern badlands

Well, I already had 2 goblin stacks with Waaghs down there so I exterminated them in two turns, but literally how does that happen?

Halberds are great and all, but not nearly long enough in the game

Actual pike walls would fuck shit up way better

Might be interesting

But it wouldn't make sense for Vlad to work under Mannfred.

If they don't make it the Red Duke I quit. They have to make Bretonnia relevent somehow.

Does anyone know what's going on? I'm trying to edit the damage on spells and Gyro bombs but the changes won't take effect.

irondrakes may not be the best unit, but they sure as hell are fun
at least they occupy cavalry for long time with their 120 armor

...

There are no other named Lords in the vampire 8e book, so unless they are going to pull a character from an earlier book there isn't much of a choice.

That's where they spawn, it's to make Chaos relevant to stunties and greenskins.

I was completely wrong about the awful Goblin leadership being a negative.

It actually works to their advantage, your units always run before getting totally smashed and they're faster than most (maybe all) other infantry so they generally get away. Plus, once they're buffed with magic and the hero skills they're not that bad in combat.

The battles generally devolve into a complete mess with enemy melee chasing my gobbos and my wolves and archers dealing with their ranged and siege units.

It's literally fucking impossible to kill combat focused lords though, just have to feed them units to slow them down. And I'm not sure what I'll do against Chaos when I have to fight them.

It always happens, I guess it's so you feel a bit of the Chaos love if you're playing Dwarfs or Orcs.

SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS

But they wouldn't. Because FUCKING PIKE WALL, SPEAR WALL, SHIELD WALL AND LOOSE FORMATION ARENT IN THE FUCKING GAME.

ill never not be mad.

I think they might. They put Kholek in for the WoC and he doesn't even have a model.

Talebecland betray the honour of the Wolf-Emperor. They besiege Altdorf while his armies are busy in Marienburg.

I hope they don't think this act will get them on my good side.

Yep, you can play as every minor faction.

>And I'm not sure what I'll do against Chaos when I have to fight them.
Autoresolve them with Waagh stacks.

i dont know if its the larger units mods but the AI seems mega fucked recently

>Wait for me to attack
>Send in all my range units
>get assblasted for about 5 minutes
>still not moving

is it like this for anyone else?

But user Vlad was dead in the game's timeline, it took Nagash to resurrect him in the End Times.

>firing mass dwarven cannons at Giants
>watching the cannonballs bounce off him with each hit
>one shot bounces off the back of his head and lands on a nearby Goblin Big Boss and pancakes him

This is too funny

Well yeah, there is that option.

Even against Dwarfs and Orcs stacks of Goblins still tend to perform better in the auto resolve, it is fun to fight the battles though.

>There are no other named Lords in the vampire 8e book

Fuck the rules.

How?

Someone please teach me how the fuck do I play VC?

I made it to turn 100 with 3 1/2 provinces because of how slow corruption spreads. I lost when Archaeon the fuckboi made a beeline towards me instead of the Empire.

I can't trade with anyone so getting income is a bitch.
Everyone cost so expensive and the skeletons and zombies are trash for expanding in the early game.

Is there something I am missing? I beat the game on hard with Empire and Dwarves but VC seems to stump me.

Azhag has been dead for a while. I don't think they're going to worry about throwing in a few characters from the past of the fluff.

I'm not sure they're getting one. The images behind them seem somewhat random. Obviously the magic ones do.
I think they said the free lords would be rivals in the lore, and I forget the names but that'll probably be greenskins and dorf lords.

Vlad would make the most sense. Krell doesn't make any sense as a lord, should be a unique hero that comes with kemmler. Neferata makes the least sense for a total war game. Sure she CAN fight, but she doesn't want to.

Konrad is probably the most likely I'd say.

Bretonnia as a whole will release for free with updated roster.

Red Duke is silly given the current absence of the Blood Dragons, and isn't pertinent to the vague chronological setting of the game. Mallobaude is the way you would go if you want a Bretonnian vampire. But he would still start in Sylvania so that doesn't make sense either.

Would be a good choice for a pure melee LL which the VCs lack

Kholek was in the book however.

But it makes no sense, pulling a long dead character out of the air who would be almost identical to an existing character, right down to appearance. If they're gonna do anything it should be a Strigoi, Blood Dragon or Lahmia.

Plop an agent into the province you want
march in with your army and take one of the settlements in 2-3 turns, suddenly you have 30-50% corruption and an a town to garrison in to prevent atterition in case they have corruption reduction in that province
Kill orcs for ez relations
and skellies and zombies are godlike early, also dire wolves

mods

The other Legendary Lord is going to be Whurzag, and it has the orc banner behind it. The other Legendary Lord has part of the vampire city behind it.

Oh right, I just meant they seem to be ok with dead characters coming back.

I wasn't putting my money on any specific one.

Well, if the Chaos gits don't have any wolves or Marauder horses, you could try going full Attila on them with wolf riders.

>so unless they are going to pull a character from an earlier book there isn't much of a choice.

I know Total War Warhammer is not the same as the tabletop game, but if they do this it is totally allowed by the rules. You can use old heroes in the new setting.

HE WAS MY MILITARY ALLY

I remember when you can unblock the other faction just changing a minor shit in some txt

Vlad is far more popular than some literal who you would put in for those other factions.

Unless im wrong, I'm pretty sure the game starts at the year 2502 and Azhag is pretty much alive at this point

He dies at 2512-2515

t. army book

Is it just me or are ranged units really finnicky in TW:WH? They refuse to fire at anything constantly, claiming that they're 'obstructed' even though they're on flat ground right in front of the enemy.

Should've dragged him to war with the empire then buddy.

So you have some shitty lord as LL?

But he's too similar to Mannfred and would never work with him

Why no zacharia with dragon zombie?

What about Arkhan the Black.

he would make more sense than Vlad

or even Konrad, but neither of those three would answer to Manny

Anyone know where the game stores save files? got that weird autosave bug that causes a CTD

Mannfredd is presumed dead until around 2522 when he reinhabits Castle Drakenhof

t. army book

HE WAS A CONSUL OF THE EMPIIIIIRE

Why does Coke Life taste so shit?
Never buying that garbage again.

AND A GOOD FRIEND

not really
a pike phalanx wouldn't hold very long against a charge of Chaos/Greenskins who are basically just angry mountains of muscle

But he's too similar to an existing character, if you want Vlad just make a mod that renames Mannfred.

Because that'd just look like a skinnier version of Manny, at least the other three bloodlines have unique looks and philosophies.

>What about Arkhan the Black.
Arkhan's a Tomb King, not a vampire.

My money is on Neferata for VC, and Skarsnik as Greenskin LL.

>comparing a character who has been dead for 5-10 years in the lore to someone who has been dead for around 200.

It is a FLC, what do you expect? that is like saying Suebi shouldn't be the FLC because they are too similar to the other germanic hordes.

But you could say the same thing about a spear wall or any formation composed of humans

Pikes would just be for what's left after the rifle volleys anyways

I had 30gb on the SSD and the game needed 24gb, I figured by the time there's an expansion it'll be too big to fit

Why would you have a sneaky diplomatic isolationist who views Sylvania with disdain from their distant home as lord of Sylvania?

OVER THE BLACK MOUNTAINS PERHAPS?

>comparing a character who has been dead for 5-10 years in the lore in a faction without necromancy to someone who has been dead for around 200 in a faction that is known for necromancy.

ftfy

>leoun sends a army of grail knights to fight the forces of chaos
what a fucking bro, gonna send KF himself to join up with him

It would be pointless to have two LLs with the same powers. They'll pick a melee focused one for VCs.

>tfw you know very little about the lore
Which books are worth reading?
Do you have to read the tabletop gamebooks to get full lore?

Oh sorry, I thought we were supposed to want interesting content as consumers.

>alright motherfuckers, it's time to fight chaos. I've done my part and completely wiped out the Greenskins, so Karl let's team up and...

Fuck

Looks like all that is left of the Empire is Wissenland, which migrated south and ate the entire Border Kingdoms

I like the fact that buildings don't have negatives, I hated that in Rome 2

I bet there's people who think this is too casual though

>>comparing a character who has been dead for 5-10 years in the lore to someone who has been dead for around 200 that has been stated to be too powerful for anyone but Nagash to resurrect.
