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

BRETONNIA IS 28TH OF FEBUARY.
Louen start in Couronne
Alberic start in Bordelaux
Fay Enchantress start in Carcassonne
Lots of new units such as grail reliquae, questing knights, squires and many more.

Looking good. Green Knight is a unique limited hero. Accumulate chivalry points to win the campaign. Decide between military and economic techs.

Warhammer is $12: humblebundle.com/monthly

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.

First for Gelt, the weakest yet best looking lord.

First for roads.

What are the required mods for Better flags

I was thinking about getting this dlc because I want to play a gobbo faction, anyone here played as them?

Are they shit, or are they worth a shot?

Best

>Heroes of Might and Magic had town screens from game 1 to the latests, excluding 6th, because fuck it
>Total War ain't got town screen in 2k17

what's their justification?

GOBBOS are best, you dont need big gits to be good!

Can someone give me a quick rundown on goblinz?

really? am i being meme'd?

It's a hard campaign, especially when Archaon shows up, but it's really fun. Haven't tried Angrund yet but people have told me it's hard as shit.

Nah it's actually pretty great. It can be a little hard to get the ball rolling depending on difficulty but Its a nice change of pace from the vanilla greenskin campaign.

Why do I love Skarsnik so much?
It's pretty simple when I iz finkin' 'bout it. Skarsnik izn't just da best character in da War'ammer world, 'ee might just be da greenest character of all time. Just imaging 'im riding fru da halls of Karak Eight-Peaks, da wind in 'is 'at, 'is mighty Gobbla below 'im. As 'ee rides fru da World's Edge Mountains, da Stunties soil demselves at 'is very scent. Dey knows 'ow 'ee smells, da essence of 'is smell iz in da Stunties Book of Grudges unda da name of "Skarsnik Fungusm" Da very nature of Skarsnik iz mystery. Could 'ee be playin' a deepa game den even Gork and Mork realizes? Da answer iz yes, 'ee 'as transcended such boundaries as da written world, and 'as free will to do woteva 'ee seez fit. 'owever, Skarsnik iz filled wiff such cunnin', such morky craft dat 'ee does not even use deese powers.

nah lad, king and the warlord offers the best campaign gameplay

I know it may sound silly, but are Total Warhammer and Warhammer Online models on about the same level of quality? is it possible to rip a model out of WHO and import it into TWWH?
Can one replace Archaon with Tchar'zanek?

alright, cheers lads

G O B L I N S

Repostan my vampire state troops.

no
BOB doesn't allow you to recompile models into rigid_models_v2

I'm pretty sure TW warhammer models are much better
Dunno if u can import it tho

How the fuck can I get a stable over 60 FPS on Total Warhammer?

I am most certain my CPU is bottlenecking the FPS, how much difference would overclocking my CPU make realistically? Does anybody know?

>That thin no armor variant on the right

Remove

Also add sylvanian coat of arms/sigils on the shields

...

you got any links for said coat of arms?
My GIMP skills are lacking.

>remove no armor variant
I am keeping the codpiece.

It's a CPU heavy game.

What kind of difference would going from DX11 to DX12 make by itself, if any? I might bite the bullet for the performance.

You better test it.

Try turning off shadows too

Okay explain me this warhammerfags
If old world filled with monsters, chaos, disease and shit
How come Empire manage to build such great civilization, culture and technology?

orcs get basilisks in AoS?

Post specs

I can't test it because I don't have windows 10. But I might get it if it makes my performance significantly better.

Sigmar

Dwarven and elven help.

I overclocked my i5 6400 to 4.4 ghz and it's about doubled my fps from the stock clocks

I'm running an r9 390 with it and can't get over 45 fps at 1080p on atitta at the lowest settings apart from ultra unit size but warhams runs at 60+ pretty consistently on high

why is attita so badly optimized m8s, I can't really enjoy the game at potato tier graphics or at 20 fps

Sigmar/Conan the Barbarian started it, and the dwarf alliance kept it going

Who are you going to play first a week tomorrow?
>van carstein
>bretonnia

And specifically which lord?
>Louen
>Alberic
>Fay Enchantress
>Isabella
>Vlad (in his new start position)

Actually no.
Its unfair and busts your balls but thats what makes it so fun.
You are actually forced to you know, use your cunning for a change.

Xth for the waifus of Ulthuan

The Gay Enchanfeet

i5-4670k @3.40ghz
GTX 1070
16 gig RAM

Using windows 7 so no DX12.

I'm not a very technologically literate man but I feel my shitty ass old CPU is bottle-necking this game specifically because of how total war works. I'm considering buying a good cooler for my CPU to overclock it but I don't want to waste the money if it won't make much difference. I would probably upgrade to windows 10 if it made a good difference but I don't want to if it won't.

Benchmark gives me like 70fps on max settings with shadows on high and unlimited video memory on. Problem is the reality is it's more of a constant 50-60 dipping and when shit really hits the fan it can go as low as like 24-35 dipping.

If you think something else could be the problem please inform my retarded ass.

I want to see what other changes they've made to magic beforehand (I notice flesh to stone was +60 armour in the steam build they had)
If it's not much I'll just go with Louen since I'm boring

Is she going to get enriched?

Depends entirely if Warhammer can use more than 4 CPU cores or not. It probably doesn't (unless they did something to the game recently) and so you likely wouldn't see a big increase from getting a newer processor, seeing as CPU performance hasn't really increased all that much since the 4670k came out.

Overclock, my man. Your GPU is really way over what your CPU is able to deal with.

>what i'm going to do is try to offend every single identity on earth

reminder that legend is /ourguy/

What's a good and reliable cooler I could buy for my CPU and what should I try to overclock it to?

>tfw you blasting charge your own units

they're only stunties so no big deal

Isn't that some queer ESO shit?

Are Blasting Charges good in GC? I've rarely used them because I hated Miners.

Only really got the game but they seem fucking broken, but maybe they're not you don't get that many but it seems they can completely wipe out a unit or very close to doing so.

They help make ironbreakers even more ridiculously tanky, as most stuff won't manage a clean charge against them with the blasting charges disrupting their formation.

I know fuck all about coolers, I just bought an extra big noisy fan when I overclocked. I'd go to 3.8 or so. Be sure to vacuum inside the case every 3 months or so

Ironbreakers have them too. I never saw any benefit in them, but I seemed to get rekt by them when fighting the AI dorfs

He is going full Hitler mode

>Seven (7) days before Bretonnia and Isabella

s1.webmshare.com/eWDr8.webm

Ironbreakers have good stats, it's the blasting charges that put them up there as some of the best in the game, they can absolutely shred a frontline of tightly packed troops, even heavily armored Chaos Warriors can have half their HP shaved off by just blasting charges.

>jap artwork
>female captured in battle
guess

Fuck off Legend.

Thanks my man, thanks to everyone else who replied to me also.

40k Orks have no dicks. When the Ork Commander in Dawn of war II: Retribution captures the inquisitor chick, all he does is steal her hat.

Got a link?

>GW won't let them release Slaanesh DLC

Why are Hammerers so shit, lads?

Is Age of Charlemagne worth it for $7.50?

You dont say.
Good thing that japs can make porn out of doorknobs.

Enough of this meme. GW has already included new artwork with boobs in AOS books.

>tfw Warhammer gets me into real Chaos Magick

That sounds too hilarious for you to not sauce.

Absolutely.

Hell, you just have to look at the new Aelf shit to see that boobs are not a problem.

And if you pay attention to AoS they're clearly building up to Slaanesh getting free.

AoS is shit enough without people inventing dumb as fuck and blatantly untrue memes to make it worse.

fuck off leg end

holy shit i'm so scandalized i simply must watch his videos and contribute to his ad revenue right now!!

>his priest starts with 8 piety
is this normal? i don't remember that in my apache game

Added some bretonnian skirts for peasants to wear. The problem with zombie legs is that they are too skinny and stand out badly, codpieces notwithstanding.

What empire state troop units should I add for the vampire counts? So far I have spearmen (both varieties), swordsmen and xbowmen.

[Kondom] Kagiana (Hontou wa Eroi Otogibanashi)

They also filmed a live action version.

>They also filmed a live action version.

Oh japan.

Thanks man, anyhow.

Who /Lowborn/ here?

It's a Shadow Warrior you wazzock.

I could be a Count if i schmoozed the right relatives.
But an Italian Count so I'm not sure it is worth the effort.

> Still no SEGA mail with the blood DLC

> I am ready. Are you?

Probably Von Carstein / Isabella since you can get Vlad turn 2

I want to go for the main faction and play as Bretonnia proper under Louen, but at the same time, I hear the call of Alberich in his pimp armor.

Alberic, most likely.
I'd like to try the ''new'' mechanic.
I want to create a solid knight ''crusader'' army and travel around the world, killing greenskins n'shit while also trying to take control over Bretonnia using just politics.

I'm with you there. I remember CA saying in their advice for wood elf players that you don't have to go for territory next to athel loren, and it sounds like this'll be a really legitimate thing for brets to do as well. Diva Vult!

If you are going to play as the von Carsteins, Isabella seems basically objectively better for the 2 starting Vampiresses and buffs to their stats. And obviously the fact that you can recruit Vlad turn 2.

Honestly, why would anyone ever play the standard VC's anymore? Literally the only reason to play them post Vlad is now gone with Vlad and Isabella being there own faction, and does anyone really like Mannfred enough to play as them?

>fly planes with a wee USA laddie
>he asks grandma about his ancestors
>gets a ledger
Here, he took a pic for me
imgur.com/a/yIexF

the starting varghulf maybe.

That's a big horse

Mannfred is overall a better hero stat wise but yeah,im waiting for Isabella too.

Yeah, that's the part that interests me the most, you don't need to ''expand''.
We'll have to see how economy works, cause I'm sure those knights won't be cheap, and you can't have a peasant army cause it fucks up the economy too.
But overall, is a very interesting concept.

Maybe the peasants are just manlets?
When will they learn? Never, because they're illiterate.

...I've given you a small fortune. Lands, titles, fiefdoms and castles....

>Brets do as well
>a faction to emulate the Welves

ALBERIC HITLER AND HIS GRAILMACHT

>Play Empire
>Go north to take Marienburg
>Louen is there with ten grail knights and nine mercenary treekin
>Bretonnia has declared war on you

I'd still play them in theory.
I like vlad the most but don't much care for Isabella's implementation. I don't want to leapfrog forced march stacks and overwhelm the opponent like that.

The lack of faction name change and capital change sours the Vlad start for me.
Honestly I'll get in a legendary game as Vlad now before anything changes.

>all those people mocking bretonnia for having inferior cav
>mfw Hippogryph Knights, Royal Pegasus Knights, buffed Grail Knights and Grail Guardians.

>bretonnians will still get shot and dier.

>all those people mocking bretonnia for having inferior cav
these people don't exist

There is legitimate discussion about the triumvirate of heavy cavalry on the TT, but that is the extent of it.
