>Warhammer introduction to MP Lords and Heroes pastebin.com/hPkPujTB To update: Never pick anything other than Morghur as Beastmen. Necromancer heroes are top pick right now while raise dead is still broken as fuck.
>ACTUAL Total War News If you've been living under a rock these past few months, Shortbrindal is free now.
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. UPDATE: PEOPLE FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT ANYWAY AND OUT OF DAMAGE CONTROL CA WILL BE ADDING OFFICIAL SUPPORT FOR ADDING CUSTOM MAPS TO THE CAMPAIGN ALONGSIDE THE BRETONNIA UPDATE
Isabella von Carstein(Legendary Lord) has been announced as part of the War not Peace dealio. She and Vlad have their own faction, seperate from the Mannlet.

Good man Don't forget your complementary floppy hat.

Imagine being Isabella Von Carstein in Sylvania and having to be all like "damn, Vlad Von Carstein, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your undead body and horrific rotten monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my living version and the real undead me." when all she really wants to do is suck another 16 year old's blood in her dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Isabella and not only sit in that throne while Vlad von carstein flaunts his disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing his necrosis and leathery skin, and just sit there, war after war, hour after hour, while he perfected that necromancy. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking visage but his haughty attitude as everyone on Sylvania tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, VLAD VON CARSTEIN LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his ghoulish fucking zombie face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of WISSENLAND STUDS and PRINCES and later alleged 'disappeared' virgins for your ENTIRE LIFE coming straight out of the boonies in Sylvania. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the necrosis that's breaking out on his dimpled stomach as he sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get married to sit there and revel in his "statuesque (for that is what he calls himself)" beauty, the beauty he worked so hard for with vampirism in the previous eras. And then the count of Sylvania,Otto calls for another proposal, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the sylvanian security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Isabella Von Carstein. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

What would you want to see in a siege map where chaos is defending?
Nathaniel Collins
Tomorrow will be the day!
Matthew Green
good lad
Bentley Davis
Nah, were getting a full overview because of PC gamer though tomorrow.
Kevin Sanders
I want to start a VC campaign with necromancers only, probably with the starting lord being Ghorst.
Are necromancers still buffed?
William Rogers
Why do people use mods to remove the floppy hats, it's plebian taste as fuck
David Sullivan
Very tall instead of more spread-out. Platform emplacements with ramps for the Hellcannons Hypostyle areas of tall, spiky columns Obvious former defensive positions that are broken/reduced to rubble from constant battles Very crowded in general with a few circular open spaces
Michael Clark
This shits creepy. I feel bad for video game PR people.
Gabriel Parker
Spikes and fire (obligatory)
shrines big and small dotted around the map, biggest one on a hill in the center of the whatever so if chaos is losing in the end they'll fight around it
wide spaces behind the defenses so marauder horsemen can maneuver
a trench around the fort/settlement/temple as a place to dump the bodies after the battle?
maybe use the big skulls to make it seem like they were sacrificing huge shit to chaos?
off hand I dont know the little doodads you can add in the custom maps, iron cages and hanging dead bodies?
Ethan Anderson
Fuck! I came here to post that.
Angel Baker
>Chaos Siege maps >The walls are giant fucking bonfires with empire soldiers, dwarves, and elves roasting alive tied to spikes in them.
Jeremiah Lee
So I finally got into Medieval 2, and holy shit.
How the fuck do i get rid of the plague? It's been stalking 2 settlements for like, 20 turns now and disappears before reappearing.
As England, I took Ciro, and those fuckers just won't calm the fuck down. They're already 90% Christian, what more can I even do??
You ever get more training slots then 3? Retraining armies seems weaker then just buying whole new ones which'll be ready by the time the old ones break.
Henry Watson
What gam is this? Mordheim?
James Richardson
Yes
Wyatt Ortiz
Grace don't be like that, you know you love the attention- good or bad!

So who is this firecrotch slut and why does she get posted here?

Yeah. Here, face was good enough for a reaction.
Parker Ward
Is it any fun? How does it fare against other gams like Darkest Dungeon?
Carson Taylor
Hey do not insult are queen! She is pure!
Oliver King

Looks great to me, keep up the good work.
Oliver Wilson
Hangon, I can make it better.
Benjamin Fisher
Captcha fucks me up, man. Back when it was just text I never forgot to post images, but with this new cancerous popup shit it distracts me long enough that I forget I didn't attach an image.
Austin Lopez

Cooper Cooper
Will you show me?
Adam Morales
About what year should WRE collapse in Attila?
Henry Clark
I'd be right happy to
Charles Cox
On Legendary about 405. Byzantines hold out most of the time.
Alexander White

Isaiah Stewart
Does the AI even care about difficulty levels?
Evan Smith
>they actually found the actor The fuck When 1 province minors can field 2 stacks it sure does.
Benjamin Foster
Ain't the higher difficulty just a gimmick and the shitty AI get compensated with cheat, because honestly its like they can shit entire stack out of thin air while running on the shittiest of economy while you struggle to make a proper stack that doesn't drain your entire income.
Bentley Howard
Wait for Vlad to become his own faction
Cameron Rivera
His name is Brad McGuire
Jason Stewart
Don't forget the "war fervor" the hun AI gets even though they don't really pay for upkeep
Caleb Gonzalez
>they don't really pay for upkeep Well they don't have to, in the game the hun stacks don't actually have upkeep; they're free.
Camden Sullivan
Yup. Also since scaling is skewed towards smaller nations WRE gets dogpiled since its limited by army size of what....8-12 stacks in total? Meanwhile minor gets two each at least and dont field mass spears like Romans do.
Huns generally wont even reach them before they get wiped out. Thanks senpai. Now i will forever cherish gay porn actors name in my memories.
Here, have Brazzers one that was written by /tv/ on a sticky
I know they're adding Isabella, but what about the rest?
Camden Smith
That's what i was saying, even though no AI pays for their units the Huns get them for free, it's redundant. I mean, i 've the saxons with only one city and 2 stacks.
Aaron Wilson
Vlad and Isa are becoming their own faction in the Bretonnia update
Aaron Martin
I wish there was a viable way to play as a city-state.
Nicholas Baker
Alright, I don't get the beastmen campaign. Everyone else is nearing full stacks by turn 3 when I cant afford shit, even after sacking the easy settlements nearby Do Malagor or Morghur have an easier starting point?
I was too lazy to find it and knew someone else would anyway. Thanks for the free spoonfeeding
Brayden Wood
Np bro.
Blake Parker
Is Mannfred the strongest von Carstein in the lore? no memes please
Jacob Clark
A shame that it doesn't show if Kemmler and Ghorst are with the Vampire Counts or a different position.
Also no information on Mousillon and if they will ever be playable.
Camden Sullivan
Kemmler and Ghorst will prolly stay with Mannfred since he would be alone and friendless otherwise.
Landon Lopez
But Mannlet is friendless and alone.
Hunter Brown
He's definitely the shortest von Carstein in the lore
Nicholas Rodriguez
I'm thinking that you'll have all the regular lords and are just making a choice between manny and isabella
Aaron Torres
Should I?
Samuel Rogers
No. Maybe the cleverest and schemiest, but definitely not the strongest.
Ryder Morgan
Its pretty much guaranteed that we are getting Isabella right? When are we finding out?
>two free vampire chans at the start >The opportunity to bully that loser Manny
Xavier Long
Also: >Get a super hawt Vampire sugar daddy almost immediately
Bentley Green
Vlad pls go
Tyler Diaz
Is there a more satisfying feeling?
Robert Nelson
The only thing that comes close is laying an ambush in a narrow pass and the enemy falls for it.
Brandon Fisher
>woodelvesrazingaltdorf.jpg Yeah, I could think of a few...
Luis Miller
Dendrophiles pls go
Jacob Hill
Underway battles. Just a straight corridor with no bullshit trees and hills blocking the way, just like Grimnir intended.
Thomas Murphy
Why wouldn't Ghorst be with the Vampire Counts? He is Mannfred's apprentice.
Kemmler and Mannfred are riding off to the sunset together in the 8th edition army book that the game is very clearly taking most of its inspiration from, so I don't think he will change faction any time soon.
Ian Gomez
>no room for cavalry to flank you >the enemy is almost always in range of artillery >usually narrow enough that you can create a solid shield wall of Ironbreakers/longbeards/warriors
Underground battles are so stacked in the Dawi's favor it's not even funny.
Leo Walker
What should I use my first Necromancer for as the VC, Just spreading corruption on neighboring factions?
Logan Watson
>it's not even funny.
Of course not. Dwarfs have no sense of humor.
Robert Rivera
That's not true. That's going down in the Dammaz Kron, umgi.
Charles Turner
>Just spreading corruption on neighboring factions?
Only Sigmar's god Ulric can judge it worthy or no.
William Hill

>TRANSGRESSOR: user >TRANSGRESSION: DEEPLY INSULTED THE DAWI PEOPLE BY CLAIMING THEY DO NOT POSSESS A SENSE OF HUMOR.
Landon Parker
Fuck me, trying to siege down the human castles around Athel Loren was a nightmare as beastmen. Tree Hitler, his two fuccbois, and his fucking tree-lover all rush straight at you, even if they don't like the faction you're besieging because they hate you more.
Jayden Barnes
Why are Pistoleers so bad?
Just fought against Wood Elves and the little fuckers only got five (5) kills between two full units before getting decimated by arrows.
Aiden Johnson
I've come to hate playing against wood elves so much I actually don't want to buy the DLC at all. Ever. Fucking bargain bin elves anyway. Ulthuan's where it's at.
John Moore
How do I build Franz? Is going full yellow worth it because deathwing or should I focus on army buffs?
Benjamin Brown
They're actually pretty interesting to play, but as a newbie I'm finding their start kinda difficult. Like, their economy isn't strong enough to support the strong army you need to siege down the local human holds AND a second army to defend those holds from beastmen and other humans until you can suck the other welf faction's collective dicks hard enough to get them to confederate.
But like I said, I'm new.
Jordan Miller
They have pitiful damage.
Ethan Bailey
>try out empire on very hard for those achievements >okay, this seems tougher due to the stat-boosting, but it's bearable >fight a beastmen stack >my units break like they're fucking goblins
Colton Brown
I just use them to run down routing units and shoot melee in the back where possible.
Robert Flores
I just used him to lower construction costs
Hunter Moore
I get army buffs, Deathwing, Scarred Veteran. Then do what you want after that.
Easton Hill
Only use them to tie down units or to charge missile units.
Oliver Sanders
>Attila is 75% off >its DLC is 0% off
Luke Cook
>tfw I'm actually looking towards China right now
One day I hope... one day...
Christian Hernandez
I couldn't stomach Empire even on hard. I just got sodomized by everyone at the same time and my allies did fuck-all. Dwarfs? Wanking in their karaks. Bretonnia? Wine and incest. Meanwhile chaos makes a beeline for me, wood nazis get mad at me for no reason all the time, vampires don't want to feel left out and join the fray, and then "IT'S CIVIL WAR!"
Oh, right, and then there's beastmen and orc spawns near my undefended towns when my armies are out fighting the other dozen horrors, but I guess it's my fault for not expecting them as well. Probably should've prepared for my allies betraying me at some point too before I fucked off and.
>inb4 git gud
Yeah yeah.
Chase Thomas
Why would you? China would be boring as shit. Shogun but on a greater and therefore less detailed and interesting scale.
Nicholas Hall
I'm posting Cao Cao from /mbg/ in honour of the /mbg/ poster who was posting in honour of the original /mbg/ Cao Cao poster until they get a good Romance of the three kingdoms mod and we get a good Romance of three kingdoms Total War game.
