WAAAGH'd ta deff

Do I need 2 Lords to take 40 units to battle in Campaign mode, or can I somehow get 40 under 1 lord?

Is Rome 2 good now?

Ponies best cavalry.

...

You need two unless you're playing as Orcs.

>"With a massive Norscan force en route to Nordland's shores"
>"With a massive Norscan force on the way to Nordland's shores"

What isn't making sense to you?

What's the best way to build Karl Franz? General/Buffer or as a fighter? Did fighter last playthrough and was happy with the results

>Empire is overpowered
>VC is garbage
>Chaos is overpriced/underperforms for the stats
>Dwarves need not-garbage Gyrocopters

>Cant get into VC no matter how hard I try
a shame, I love the battles as VC but I just dont like the campaign.

En route / on the way implies they're not already there

ORCS IZ FUN™

Just lost using Azhag. Now..

ROLL

NTH FOR AMBUSH, RAID AND RAPE

tfw I confederated as orcs without realising that it got me another stack

user, what you're seeing is merely the vanguard.

The rape train has no breaks

Friendly reminder that Dmitry's a cunt.

WHERE IS KRELL?

hey, as long as it works

I AM A LORD OF BRETONNIA

Canon Kislev army composition.

What turn does chaos normally spawn? Is it random or are there triggers?

As Empire they've spawned at turn 48.

Not enough bears.

>VC is garbage

Excuse me?

Oh Archeon

He looks like such a cunt aswell.

do you know who I am?

Okay, how the fuck do you counter steam tanks on multiplayer?
This guy just keeps spamming hero + all steam tanks

I believe it's tied to your growth. They usually appear around that turn for me though.

Vampire Counts is great fun

It's the only faction with full diplomacy and a reason to use it

orcs are fun but fighting dwarfs isn't

Absolutely NOT

It's random they didn't show up until 60 something for me.

Not sure if Archeon is the same way

So how do you progress as chaos? Just by sacking everything and then moving on?

Demigryphs with halberds

Lower funds or rules.

Pretty much. Awaken a few tribes first, then go on a rampage crippling your campaign targets factions while your allies clean up.

In the official lore, only the tzar rode a bear.

Just wrapped up my empire campaign around turn 150. Starting dwarfs on hard now. Any tips? Where should I expand first?

>not awakening and subjugating ALL the tribes

having a united norsca shitting wave after wave of fresh meat into the northern lands while you prepare your elite demon armies is comfy, and you never have to watch your back

Which factions will be released after Bretons you think?

Watch out for Orcs using the underway.

They can pop in from behind mountain ranges out of the fog of war.

So how does those people in chaos lands survive and do they literally just keep fucking and have chaos-fueled pregnancy fetishes?

Is it worth building upgrades to trade resource buildings if you are not already exporting 100% of that resource?

Seems like that'd be a waste of money.

Am I literally the only person who didn't have trouble fighting the stunties?

Of course, they did annoy the shit out of me while I consolidated the badlands, but once I went on a genocidal campaign led by Grimgor it was all over for the manlets. The last few strongholds in the West are being mopped up by two Waaagh!s fighting in unison, both warlords having rare AP choppas of stuntie slaying

Wood Elves and Beastmen

All trade resource buildings also provide income

Beastmen? Woodelves? Kislev?

right, I think I'm gnna upgrade every settlement with a watchhouse/garrison thing at first. Is it even possible to wipe out the Orks before Chaos turns up?

Now that was disappointing

I know I'm playing on normal but come on

I've just got nthe game and started playing as Grimgor, are these goblins actually good against cav? They're spears so I'd assume so but it doesn't outright state it in the pros and cons

Not all. Fur provides growth and wine provides public order. But most of them do provide income.

So how do I use handgunners and mounted handgunners?

I saw people get bit salty over mounted handgunners but don't really know how to use them.

Skaven will probably be in the first expansion

>but come on
No.
If you're playing on normal you don't get to bitch.

Why did they lower the diplomacy bonus from "war with X" and "military actions against X"? makes maintaining alliences nearly impossible once your great power debuf gets too large

first game lets do it boiz

>Get mounted ranged unit
>Toggle Skirmish mode
>Point it to whatever you want dead/delayed
if you don't trust skirmish mode, you can micro them yourself

I hope they don't turn out like Orcs, a horde army with no advantage in numbers.

I have three Hellcannons and the enemy decided to go ahead and adopt this little formation here.

Same way the Dark Elves do. So yes.

I hope they actually exploit the DLC model to the fullest and give us fleshed out Kislev, Border Princes, Tilea and everything else, unique regional Emprie troops and things like that too.

SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS

Does anyone have the Shogun 2 roll chart?

Probably not totally, you do tend to go a bit slow as Dwarfs early on.

What is this shit. No matter what faction I play as I can't ever take any land. I always run into doomstacks that just force march out of my range, or just sit in these towns with massive fucking Garrisons that you can never take because Sieges are fucking gay unless you have artillery. I'm always the aggressor as well, the AI has never ONCE attacked me. They will always walk by or run away.

Its just retarded games of cat and mouse, or waiting twenty turns to siege someone out of their castle.

Fuck I mad.

Can we have amazons?

I MUST FULFILL MY SLAYER OATH.

Kislev has unique voice acting and an encyclopedia page while Wood Elves have animations in the files already.

TWW is a game where I actually want them to shit out DLC nonstop.

Stop playing on easy, friend.

What about enemy ranged units?

Why? What's the point in awakening the tribes if they just fight eachother. So far Chaos campaign have been pretty boring

No Goblins are useless angainst cav unless tanking the charge.

Well, lore wise they are a 'horde type' faction. In game I'm hoping for somewhat competent core units with lots of unbreakable plague rats. Maybe a mechanic that allows routed units to rally, then burrow underground and pop up at the front lines again?

GS dont have anti cav

Skaven is a horde army like orcs but function differently. Orcs is a horde army that can kill with their troops. Slave rely on special rules like poison, monsters, war machines and magic to kill stuff. Their troops are the most numerous out of any faction but also the weakest.

Such is life in the chaos.

No, I haven't had issues from the beginning, yes they're tougher than Orcs but you can just send Night Goblin archers around their flanks and loose arrows into them and the poison makes them a joke despite their armor.

Attack them right after awakening them so you can subjugate them.

Only if they balance the game first. Because right now certain factions are blatantly overpowered

And that's not even the worst of the game's ills right now.

I'd say the worst is that no faction uses the entierety of their tabletop rosters, and even then, there's still no reason to use certain units, even in Custom Battle/MP

>tfw Middenheim has been under almost constant siege for 40 turns, with Varg, Skaeling and Rebels alternating who is monster of the week
Just let me build the tier 3 walls so I can murder you all even faster for fucks sake!

>tfw you have to assassinate a greenshit character for a grudge and it's already at 8 severity but you can't chase any of them down and when you do, the ass never works

You're supposed to attack them the moment you awaken them and make them your vassal. Problem solved.

Well, no Total War game has been balanced on release. Give it a couple of weeks and I'm sure they've released a few balance patches.

you field your own.

best panzer warfare simulator this world ever fucking seen!

They spawned turn 10 for me.

That was a fucking hassle.

Gordon Ramsay had a sex dwarf?

The problem is that on the table top a massive unit of even the worst troops (night goblins or clan rats) is fucking hard to get rid of even if it's not doing any damage.

With Goblins in TWW they don't have any staying power so you can't even use them as a tar pit.

Does Kislev have unique models? What do they look like? Who else has unique models in non playable races?

He hired five or six of them as escorts for a private party. It was a big scandal at the time.

Varghulfs.

Liar. The trigger for Chaos spawn is imperium 4 or turn 50 for mid game event and imperium 7 or 100 for late game invasion.

Do I go Marrienburg then Middenlanmd

or Middenland then Marienburg?

Warhammer was a mistake

>it's an 'early-game dwarf campaign and Grimgor just runs dick-first through your settlements as Ungrim tries to keep up' episode

Some guy fielded just steam tanks + lord against Joey and lost. If she can win, then so can you.

Take Marienburg first, swim in mad dosh.

You are excused user
