>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!

>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)

>GROUP ATTACK
Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

JOEY KEEPS CHOOSING THE WRONG FUCKING STANCE AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

...

>Autoresolve in charge of not being fucking stupid

What was the Jabber event? I can't rewind the stream

>they even call it a waaagh army in the stream
can't even pretend lmaoing at your lyfe CA

> Tomb Kings still not announced

>Mitch called it a WAAAGH!

>Jabberslythe event
never forget CA's cheek.

>They're literally calling the bonus armies a "Waaargh"

Go to the twitch channel and look at past broadcasts

lose some bestial rage for +3 experience for new recruits

Gonna be fun summoning manticores as the Empire.

what is Jerusalem worth?

Autoresolve clearly knows witch hunters are bullshit and unbalanced.

But the current one hasn't finished :(

So the jabber blesses your units sorta crap?

i was late so instead of jumping in I just did exactly what I said and now I'm slowly catching up user

No you fight the jabber and your units gain experience from it

>So the jabber blesses your units sorta crap?
Nah, you kill it for finger food and bragging rights.

Do they even know vanguard deployment is a major thing for the beastmen? They haven't used it once.

You don't even know what a jabberslythe is, do you?

Joey doesn't know shit about playing the game, just how to sell it.

I don't think Joey knows what vanguard deployment is.

Joey doesn't even know that when her army is in the beastpath (underway) stance she can't attack. What makes you think she knows what vanguard deployment is

I do, but if it's not in the game as a unit, CA could do whatever the fuck they won't with it.

Remember the boy in R2 who fucks a dolphin or some shit?

No tell me

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE EMPIRE WAFUI MODS

>That small map.
>Deployment zones right next to each other.
Artillery and missiles are going to be downright useless in those battles.

>Ambushes Empire
>Just stands there and lets the Empire army charge her troops
JOOOEEEEEEY

What do you expect? Its an ambush in a super-forest. By Beastmen who don"t even understand the word Artillery

Yes, that's how ambushes work. Have you never fought an ambush battle before?

>Beastmen takes away other factions arty advantage by ambush

Seems fine desu.

That's sort of the point. Although in Napoopan it was super broken because the defender could just grapeshot at point blank immediately so attacking an artillery heavy army in an ambush was kind of redundant.

Will beastmen be able to do normal ambush battles.

Since ambushes are a big part of tactics for Wood Elves, I wonder how that'll play out. A bunch of archers don't exactly want to start next to the enemy in heavy underbrush.

Why isn't Joey researching?

She's not very good at the game.

This fat bitch is bad

You can probably get ambushed as beastmen.

They're not gonna play the campaign that long, so it's not like it matters.

Theay don't seem to have the stance.

was lightning strike right solution to the 5 full banner stacks AI loves so?

Possibly some sort of elevation mechanic? Where the branches and trees in the undergrowth function as semi-walls - meaning the enemy can't attack directly from the front and has to go around to the sides.

This dark moon mechanic is just a test run for wood elf seasons, isn't it?

>Gorebull WS is now 420 with AP
I knew it, now he's proper choppy

>he still thinks there will be wood elves

How's that compared to Grimgor?

They can do so much with Wood Elves if they get it right. Beastmen basically play like Chaos Orcs, but I expect a lot of unique mechanics for the elves.

They'll be in before tomb kangz.

Wood Elves are so obviously next. Beastmen's reason for being first is because they are so easy to put in without any major work, and also because Bretonnia/Wood Elves' part of the world is empty without goats to hunt.

It'll be cool if Wood Elves had some sort of season mechanic.
Even better if the campaign in general had seasons CA fucking shits

Those siege towers are pretty gnarly.

Grimgor is base 450.

But in terms of hero units that is the highest edging out the exalted hero by 5, but EH is not listed as a AP hero but GB isn't shielded

Sometimes it snows on the campaign map a bit heavily every so other turns.

If that was a pun I'm going to fucking kill myself.

...

>arch crying about beastmen siege towers being stupid
>they look good and lore-friendly

>not just a tower of shit
How many references to shit have we seen so far?

Is he live tweeting the stream or some shit?

no, he sperged about it some time ago

isn't joe the cutest?

is this game fun if i never really got into total war but im a sucker for warhammer?
should i buy a grey key or the steam version?

You probably shouldn't. Some times it's not a good idea to stick to your guts.

Their Titan X runs fucking worse than my 970.

well, it's a 40 vs 30 siege battles desu

Well so far the whole DLC has been full of shit

laughing Muppets.jpg

wait for a sale

that's what they get for not going AMD DX12 amirite?

I can run those fine.

>The Beastmens AOE damage spell is a giant fart cloud

It seems several Nvidia cards perform worse than you'd expect. I've seen a lot of complaints from 9xx series owners too, yet I've had no issues with my 780ti. It's probably the drivers.

>the flavorful and very cool idea of a creeping tide of insects and vermin gnawing at the flesh of the enemy is reduced to a puff of green gas

Why is CA determined to suck all the fun out of magic, /twg/?

who the hell is this muck on the left

will it go lower than 40 dolalos?

>should i buy a grey key
Get steam; easier updates & mods.

So guys, did the stream convince you to buy the DLC? I'm disappointed and won't buy it because the map seems small as fuck and the campaign seems to have no replay value. also beastmen always ambush on wood path maps, which makes fight repetitive.

arent those on g2play or whatever still steam keys? thats more what i meant

Genevieve Dieudonné legendary hero when?

Almost certainly; might take a while though.
Maybe check out some local shops; they might have a cheaper physical section.

I have Total war rome 2 emp edition but I could only get through like two hours before I got bored. I have never played any Total War games before. Should I stick with it and learn/will it get fun? Is Rome 2 a good one in the series?

>Can still only recruit ungors

NEW MP FEATURES ABOUT TO BE SHOWN

Will be more fun fighting them. Gonna buy it later.

They are. Nothing wrong with them as long as it's a legit seller/you get the money back if it's bought with a stolen card. Wouldn't want to get the key revoked.

>Wood Elves are so obviously next.
Lolno they probably wiill be need totally new gameplay.

nothing desu

ABILITIES, SPELLS AND ITEMS CAN ALL BE BOUGHT IN MP

>Near 100% ward save kholek

Laughing dragon ogres.jpg

They are steam keys, though more likely than not aquired in some shady matter.
Personally I dislike the site because they have a history of screwing over smaller developers.

Yeah? So what's next then lad?

Stop yelling you're hurting my ears.

>Bring death wizard
>Buy only Fate of Bjuna and Spirit Leech

Probably fledged out Bretonnia.

Bretonnia FLC along with the Wood elves makes sense.

Swing and a miss
Bretonnia will come out, but that won't bring CA any dollarydoos
Wood Elves will be released alongside them for your shekels, be sure to preorder ;)

I wonder if you can buy the red skill from the campaign?

>be sure to preorder ;)
Probably will; so far TWWH has treated me pretty well.

It would be great if you can, as well as traits. It would be fun as hell to play with a horde of murderwolves, even if I'd lose.

why do jews still want all of it then?

Which red skills?

Because it's worth Everything
