/twg/ - Total War General

>bordeleaux subfaction

i like how everyone except empire will get a subfaction. get fucked karl fagganz

Boris Toddbringer is the Empire subfaction.

>More complex sieges
CA have shown that they have been listening to some complaints, especially around DLC, so that might happen, but I can't see it being higher priority than other things they have to put in for the next game. They would have to redo most of the siege maps, at least, unless they left the lower tier towns as one wall sieges and then made new ones for the capitals and high level cities only. They would have to change their AI again to accomodate those changes, too.

disregard churches, build theatres and coliseums and just have the legions purge anyone who thinks their emperor isn't being christian enough. The fucking emperor decides who's christian and who isn't.

not gonna lie that be fucking lame. he's already in game, empire will get sloppy seconds for a sub faction instead of something cool like playable averland with marius, yanno a REAL lord from TT

...

Just release proper modding tools and modders will do it for them.

[muffled GW shrieking]

No it isn't. A playable Middheim has been requested by tons of people since the beginning.

Vlad Legendary Campaign is quite fun.

Easy as fuck, but fun.

Also they got THE BEST voice actor for him.

>playable Mousillon

Fucking finally get Black/Yellow color scheme. Praise Sigmar.

Would people want a legendary lord DLC with Boris, playable as Middenheim and some UIric units? Who else could be shoved in there and with what units?

>Satsuma and Tsu "allies" killing each other
As expected of dishonorable pro-imperialist scum

...

screencap this hombre

he'll stay a reskinned empire general in terms of skill tree, and get some boring campaign effect like franz, and no unique units. thats assuming he actually gets put in proper

No I understand like, I get the feeling their main goal is just to make sure they can get every faction in the games first.

I think the one wall approach isn't bad they just need to expand the play area more so there's a higher chance of getting to fight beyond the walls. Even if they just reused the features from Attila like fire and the extra defenses that would be great.

It's the one thing that worries me a bit with Warhammer is they have a good base down right now and thats fine. I just want to see them keep pushing it and adding to it and not just leaving things as they currently are.

But you're right though they have been actually taking feed back and putting it to use so that gives me hope they'll try to address some of the bigger issues with the expansions/newer games.

Vlad Daddy is the best.

>rightful place as the faction leader patch never

Vladdy is spending all the GBP he has to stay as faction leader.

>Vlad army engages Orc stack + WAAGH stack
>Grave Guard battleline gets thinner and thinner, but if we hold out the orc's moral will break
>click on Vlad to drop some zombies behind their ranks
>I AM BUSY

s-sorry dad

There are some Storm of Chaos units they could add. Tuetgen Guard and Knights Panther come to mind as obvious choices.

I'm not sure why I said Vladdy instead of Manny. Maybe because they're both bad compared to the true Emperor, Sigmar.

WHOSE THE OLD FRIEND REEEEEEEEEE

So I am listening to a lore video about Tomb Kings

Settra seems like an alright guy, Are the Tomb Kings "evil" i.e. chaos/Skaven tier bullshit or just they want to get back what was stolen from there.

Also who are their gods?

Best I've ever done on legendary.
Started out with him gathering on a huge hill with woods. I kept harassing him to draw out his light cavs one by one and killed em all. Then I moved on to my main attack, cornering him on his edge of the map.
I didn't realize what I was doing at first, but I ended up confusing the shit out of the AI by having 4 of my matchlocks constantly rehiding in woodlands with most of my forces as he kept trying to reorganize his massive lines. I had both generals, an ashigaru, and a matchlock on the other side of him on a hill with woods. I basically had him cornered on a thickly wooded hilltop and he had so many troops that he had to keep reorganizing his line.
If I were defending he would've just full frontal attacked me and I may have ended up losing. I was able to widdle away at his troops over the course of an hour.

Tomb Kings are basically a neutral faction, similar to wood elves in that they just want people to get off their damn lawn, and take back the shit people have stolen from them.
Settra is a bit of an asshole but he's a very competent asshole.

> Tomb Kings still not announced

Another part I forgot to include is that I had to switch out my matchlocks because of ammo. Had it been a human player it definitely wouldn't have gone down that way.

>SFO
how are VC in SFO?
>Are the Tomb Kings "evil"
neutral I believe.

>Go down the "army upgrade" route for Skarsnik
>Suddenly Wolf Riders become better than both the RoR version and the Squig Hoppers
>Realize that Wolf Riders benefit from the nastier squigs and all of the regular goblin skills

Man, fucking Wolf Riders man.

I want to be dominated by a best elf!

> still no Skaven faction
I love them, they are such assholes, they are probably even eviler than Chaos.
I wonder what would their racial gimmick be. Maybe something that would make your own lords turn on you on some conditions, since they are known to have no morals and just backstab eachother at any given opportunity.

>Confederate Stirland.
>VC have 4 armies sitting outside of Wurtbad.
>Move Gelt's army into Wurtbad and start marching another army from Marienburg.
>VC waste no time and declare war the same turn.
>Gelt and the garrison are spooked by all the skellies, so I can't sally forth.
>Other army is only halfway through Reikland.
>End turn hoping for the best.
>No battle this turn, look at Wurtbad.
>VC moved half of their skelly armies away.
>Gelt runs down Ghorst and Kemmler with almost no casualties.
>Other two armies don't even attack The Moot, they just screw off back to Sylvania.

filthy vermin

>Maybe something that would make your own lords turn on you on some conditions,

>have to manage fear as a mechanic
>destroying enemy armies/cities and completing objectives increases it
>losing battles and failing objectives decreases it
>low fear increases public unrest and adds attrition to armies
>too low and non-LL leaders will rebel with their troops

Where the hell are they going?

im going to build my own frankreich, with blackjack and hookers!

Perhaps they'll come to Judea and join the race of chosen merchants.

T*rkroaches getting BTFO in a last stand rebellion.

That's the point why I like them, they are literal rats, they don't give a fuck, LITERALLY only thing they care about is to be more powerful than the others, that's their ultimate goal.
With Orks, you can see that they too want to be powerful, but they have other goals too, they want to be famous through their actions and be respected or just have fun. It's usually like a game for them. Then we have points like Gobbla getting gutted which made Skarsnik get depressed and drop his Waaagh! to go and cry and scheme into his pillow.
But nah, Skaven are just utter bags of dicks, they can't do anything together because they are too busy backstabbing eachother. They make up their incompetence with sheer numbers and some kuhrayzee inventions.
The only reason why they became so dangerous during End Times was because their literal god descended from heavens and told them to stop acting like assholes to eachothers for the first time in history and start being assholes to everyone else.

...

How many Skavens would there be in a unit? 120? 200? Would be awesome (and bad for the GPU) if they were a fuck ton of them but were cheap and died rapidly

RIP Constantine IX
At least you died knowing your empire has a future ;_;7

F

Bittersweet end turn

Probably fuckhuge amount in fodder units and sensible amount for some more specialized units like warplock pistol wielding cowboys. I'd love to roll around with units of doomwheels just racing around the battlefield.

Seeing as Goblins only get 160 at max, I think Skaven Slaves which are literally the trashiest units available should at least be 200 or more.

And eventually when you get to Stormvermin who are the top tier infantry, it should still be quite high maybe around 120? And depending on how they implement the Clan system for Skaven, let's say you allign yourself with Clan Mors then you get more Stormvermin in your units because they specialise in breeding Stormvermin.

Because we are playing on glorious achievement mode, I have hit turn 1225 and accomplished one of the glorious achievements which was to keep all of my homeland provinces.

>implying it wont be skaven offices and skaven fightiness meter

Here is our next emperor who has decent stats and virtues. His goal will be to strengthen the empire's borders and retake Greece.

Who to play, lads?

Skaven.

Wood Elves

middenland

But I don't want to play as fucking Pontus!

Bestermark of course.

Here I'll roll for it

0-2: Skaven
3-5: WE
6-8: Middenland
9: Man o' War Corsair

>mfw I accidentally saved this in my Todd folder

Glory to the Horned Rat, man-thing.

KILL KILL THE MANTHINGS

TK

>all those spread out territories
wew lad, good luck holding those

Apparently we start off as buds with Archaon

Anyone remember that PBEM campaign we tried to do last year and failed? It was supposed to be the ERE in SS6.4 but it kinda died off because of the delay between players and postings. I'd like to bring it back if there's any interest.

Pretty sure he can put out/support as many units from one city as most factions can from their whole kingdom.

Also forgot to mention I found the save files for it and the plan is to play until the emperor's death then pass it on to another player.

want to play some M2, would do SS but i live on uni and cant downolad torrents, any recommenations?

Started playing Rome 2 again after nothing but warhammer for last 6 months.

I am really enjoying the smaller scale battles, not having 20men+ battles every time is really refreshing.

It is a lot slower to, its nice to be able to maneuver your javelins to the flank before the infantry fight is already over.

Wazzock I need a magic mod that makes magic good I am tired of burning skulls and vortexes that do nothing.

bellum crucis
planetwar
thera
third age total war
beginning of the end times

Steel faith overhaul

Thanks friend!

>Apparently we start off as buds with Archaon
you're also a part of the chaos 'crusade' mechanic.

meant for

how long do turns usually take? I'm interested in trying out the mod

Like, 30 seconds at the start of the game

I might end up quitting Skaven, as I really dont like being literally all over the entire map

Play as stirland

Why don't Undeads have any human units? The game makes them look like some sort of evil pseudo-Chaos, but aren't they just some okay guys that everyone else just considers evil, because they are not pussies and dabble in forbidden magic? Some people happily live there.
I'm not saying that the Undeads need any more units for their roster, only that it's odd.

Is Ancient Empires out yet

Because look at the table top units.

They do not have any human units, the vampires are necromancers and have control of undead automatons that work like puppets.

Humans live in slyvannia but they are fed on like cattle.

Yeah i don't know what it is about warhammer but the whole thing moves way too fast.

Your lines get engages and by the time you can whirl your cav around for some charges everyones nearly dead already.

I really hope they'll try to done ti down a little as time goes one.

>I might end up quitting Skaven, as I really dont like being literally all over the entire map
I think they're trying to fix for the next patch. Gonna go make sure though

Yes

oh really

cool

what's PBEM

thank you friend!
will give them a go

Play by e-mail

Its a fun game, but it could be a little slower everything is over very fast.

In Rome and Attila you have a big skirmish before you even engage in melee, and city battles can last over half an hour with you pulling troops all over the map setting up choke points and killing floors.

Warhammer is a little more rush focused, i am hoping WE change that up a bit.

>Play by e-mail
lmao what

are we playing chess now

Mostly because the rule books focused on the undead side of things. On the table top if you wanted to you could always do up some Bretonnian men at arms to look like some Sylvanian peasants and proxy them for Skellies or something. That kind of thing just never got a rule book entry though.

Here, lets play the Hippie Elves to cure my wait for their full release
