We have battle map creating tools now. Only land battles and only for custom/custom mp games. Siege battles may be a possibility in the future but they're practically covering their ears and screeching at any mention of using modded maps to improve the campaign.

Will next week be the week? I just want the fucking Brets

Rock the boat!

Look at the bright side user, they are running out of weeks to postpone telling us anything, but they like to keep the trailer about 2-3 weeks before the release so its a solid "maybe"

why the fuck did you make the thread early you stupid retard

Quick reminder that if you choose for your General's unit to be anything other than heavy Cav you're a shitter

Post em.

fuck off

every goddamn thread with this garbage

Yes, let's post memes instead.

Oh no, helping people pick what faction to play, how awful.

Old memes?

What's a sarl?

Why didn't medieval nations give their forces a couple of javelins to launch before the charge? It's a pretty sweet thing

A norscan tribe.

>bringing guns and greatswords vs norscans

In the Europe of those times armoured heavy cavalry was the dominant shock force, so their tactics proved to be an innovation. The Almogavars were uncomfortable riding, and always fought afoot.[24] The first thing they did was throw their spears at the knights, piercing through their armor and shields from a distance, but especially fatally wounding the horses. They also got into the enemy formation to cut the hocks of the animals with their knives, or impaled them with spears. In the melee they did not hesitate to use their short swords or maces to disembowel horses, and when the agonized mounts collapsed they rushed at the horsemen with their knives to kill them.

Really?

Real talk though, Greenskins really need a Savage Orc Warboss already.

Alright, rollan

>Another samey badlandsbowl faction

>Cornelia rome
Really?
Reroll, give me some minor tribe this time

>arevaci
Alright, lets do dis

Thats a bit better.
I'm currently trying out a minor faction playthrough as Knossos. It's not going so well.

Hasn't Gorbad been dead for like 500 years?

Three armies all camped out on my only mainland region. Greaaaat

we need a new version of this with the constant bickering between fantasyfags and historyfags

The sand peoples come out of the desert in an attempt to dislodge me from my new home.
They're unlikely to be successful.

Didn't stop Vlad

>Running back to my city
>Can't quite make it
>Swap to forced march
>Don't get any extra movement distance
>Can't swap back out
>Now this

Fucking hell CA

Real talk at least give the races in the game all their generic lords and heroes. Every campaign I'm missing black/savage/orc big bosses, wargors, etc.

The difference being that Vlad is an immortal who was notorious for resurrecting and Gorbad is just an orc boss who was not immortal and never once resurrected in the lore.

Posting shots from a top-notch map.

Never confirmed to be dead, plus he's in 8th ed so fuck it.

hello is AE out yet

>Make thread early
>Don't update the OP
>Don't know how to link to a different thread
Kill yourself

Pardon me, the map is City of the Damned Battle Map and the creator is creme_de_la_bear

Azhag, Vlad, Marius, Isabella, and in the end they are all dead anyway. Besides Gorbad and Grom the Paunch have the "defeated but never found" shit to them.

Fuck it if they are in the book put them in. Lets get Gorthor in here with Taurox

what the fug

Could always make him a horde, start him in like Kislev or some shit. The fuck if I care I just want my crazy idiot diamond Elector Count and sweet as black/gold colored army.

Shit I'll settle for just a generic Doombull lord.

Which artillery should I use in the Empire's late game? I'm tempted to take Helblasters, but I've heard bad things about them.

I'm glad you enjoyed my map at least user, I admit though I only tested the waters for small flying units so all large flying units still go into the water, as you may have noticed. working on fixing that as we speak!

I'd bet my left nut Doombull and Taurox come out the same time. If only there would be a Taurox/Valkia DLC in a real Blood for the Blood God DLC. But without the Dark Elves Valkia has no one to bully into exile.

Khorne's pet with Khorne's waifu. We'll call it Beauty and the Beast....

>huntsmen
>bowmen
>pump wagon

Never ever. Empire doesn't need either and the pump wagon is such a weird awesome thing that alone means we'll never get it.

try again

How do I git gud at this game?

I just bought the game through humblebundle and started the grand campaign, and around turn 20~ as dwarves I got my shit pushed in. Two full stack orc armies just appeared and started taking over settlements one by one. Is this supposed to happen or did I fuck up early game by not building enough troops?

Any advice and general tips appreciated

It would be badass to have Huntsmen. Anti Large archers.

Jesus. Gamespot.

Rejoice! For a Knight of Bretonnia provides your shield.

rush for walls in every settlement. don't overextend

>Bowmen
>Tier 1, recruited from Barracks
>Cheap, Can fire while moving, 170 range, lower damage, higher rate of fire, higher ammo

>Huntsmen, specialist ranged infantry
>Tier 2, New building chain like Dwarf rangers
>Stalk, Vanguard, Anti-Large, Bonus Against Monsters

They'd fit in nicely to be honest.

I'm looking forward to Styx 2, but the preorder DLC is easy mode bullshit.

>Warhammer already has as many player created maps as Attila

Come on CA. Let us make some decent siege battles.

Excellent map lots of fun choke points. Here is what I am hammering out, supposed to be the Pillars of Grungi, it has been a learning experiance

Better shot

how was the mapmaking for attila? I remember some youtubers like blademaster previewing maps they thought were cool and well-made and thats about it. Were you able to tie custom maps to the campaign at all? Would be neato if someone could make better fort maps

how does this happen

neat attempt so far user do some sneaky blending on those mountains along the edges

low integrity, I can only assume

What's some good music to listen to for a beastmen campaign?

attila ost, huns music

>own almost all of france and half of Germany along with the non-nations of netherlands and belgium in med 2
>they both refuse peace despite the pope being in my pocket

How do you become so shit that you have -1 morale?

Fug, which songs are the huns songs?

DOES

ATTILA

EVER GO ON SALE

Yes. It goes on sale all the time for around 75% off.

I mean which songs are there's? It's a big ass soundtrack and I want to make a playlist.

the first 19 are Hunnic

Some of the debuffs in Attila are complete bullshit. I had a generals unit with a melee attack skill of fucking 0.

Can flagellants be viable in the endgame provided that they have Volkmar's buffs?

Thanks user, going to have a dank no minotaur campaign now.

>Warriors of Chaos
>Total = 52% Complete

Guys what if, guys listen, guys - what if we take the most iconic and popular faction in WHFB and, guys pay attention, and not only make them a pre-order DLC but not even include most of their units and shit.

t. Creative Assembly

It still pisses me off how much shit they're missing.

How bout you let the man post his campaign and go be a bitch somewhere else.

Yes guys burn down the gates if only there was a way inside

Yes

What's the point of building a ram in TWW when literally any unit can punch the fucking gate to death?

Jelly?

that is the intent, I intend to have a Greenskin occupied version as well. and

>He hasn't removed the elf menace

Smh Tbqh

>he vassalized the wood elfs instead of throwing the old world's largest bonfire

takes one turn, and will initiate sieges if you don't have any siege stuff
Its pretty useless though

Rams are much faster of you don't have monstrous units.

>much faster
>can take the gates down to 20% health by the time the ram gets to them
>much faster

What units are you using that can take gates down so fast?

The ram significantly boosts your autoresolve odds.
