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:

>Bretonnian peasants are better than state troops

Take yer pick while we wait for fantasy Frenchmen.
You know its fiction because they dont run from battles

>Its a "Butthurt redditors try their best to ruin singleplayer by complaining about muh mp" dlc

2 more days

Next you'll tell me I should just play Vampire fags.
GOD DAMNIT, I WANT TO SMASH CRAP WITH MY BLACK ORCS. CREATIVE ASSEMBLY, YOU ARE WORST GAME DESIGNER.

Playing lore-appropriate Wood Elfs is kinda fun, it was hard early on trying to survive with obly 1 region, but after i got confederation train rolling and befriended Empire and Brets, there is nothing left that could threaten us, except Archaon.

Lady>Sigmar.

>mfw gits givin away dere teef for liddle choppa bits insted of buyin da big finished choppa for cheap

What do you mean by lore appropriate wood elves? You mean you dont go around and sack everything?

>Alberic is just a generic Lord.

Disapointed desu, was expecting some uniqueness to him.

>flying cavalry

Where do I sign up?

He's got a unique hat

Thoughts on the new Pox Archers?
Warhammer factions that now use disease as a weapon:
>Nurgle, chaos god of disease
>Skaven Clan Pestilens, literal disease rats
>Bretonnia, noblebright Arthurian Knights of honour
Doesn't really fit with chivalry and muh lady

>Enemy army named "Heroes of the Caliphate"
>Fighting the Caliphate, not from a Caliphate themselves

Ingame you never see his face.
Airforce?

Thumb Kangz when

No he doesn't

Poor Boris, i don't think alliance can help you at this point

You have two roads to success.

1: Ignore Iron Rock and head south. Let the Red Fangs get shit on by the Dwarfs while you take their land and build up strength. Fight Karak Azul as a stepping stone to prep you for fighting the main Dwarfs.

2: Be real kunning and use the Underway to get up to the Silver Road. Sack the minor provinces until you get a Waaagh going, then nab Karaz a Karak.

Long and short of it is: Fighting dwarfs without your elite armor piercing units sucks. So either out vnderstand them early or avoid them until late.

...

Show me someone else with the same hat then.

They're feudal, covering your arrows in shit was a thing back then.

And the knights are noblebright, the peasants are definitely not.

They're just peasants. It's to be expected that they're so dirty that their arrows get infected.

He has an unique tidal wave spell

Nah i still sack shit, i just don't expand past my forest

Man, I don't know what to pick tomorrow.

I want to play Alberic, but he seems generic and kind of the ''weakest'' of the three.

The Lady seems strong, but I don't know how her campaign will play. Tons of peasants and and crazy Grail Guardians?

Louen seems a bit OP (?), with all that shit unlocked, +10% movement range while everyone gets only 5% and looks kind of boring, since I've already seen him dozens of times in the Gran Campaign.

>Warhammer factions that now use disease as a weapon:
Ya fergot dem GOBBOS, dem'z got some nasty drippin' tips!

Dumb Kangz never
in half a year maybe?

...

>Wood elves, Mousillon and Skarsnik conquer whole bretonnia and half of empire
>Orion is best freinds with Red duke and Skarsnik
???

They're toxins, not disease vectors.

>playing Bloody Hanz
>attack a stack of Greenskin Rebels
>somehow now at war with the actual Greenskin faction

what da zog?

Let's be honest, who DOESN'T want to be best friends with Skarsnik?

He's objectively speaking the only good Warhammer character.

I could buy that they are peasants with pox

Is that his son?

the deep thinking goblin sits there, in the back of your head. It sometimes call out on you, gives you a drive, changes your mood.
The deep thinking goblin sometimes comes out when I make a post that is not up to par. It tells me "no, this isnt right". And then the deep thinking goblin comes out with vidya, or tv series and tells me "no, this is boring, do something else"
and then there is nothing that can change that.
The deep thinking goblin even goes further, when you look at a QT girl, and the deep thinking goblin goes like "is she wearing piercings? Are those tattoo's? What the fuck is she eating? Does she look like she is pretty dumb and/or a consumer whore?" And then no matter what, without the deep thinking goblins approval. Nothing works anymore.
The deep thinking goblin forces you to give a cringeworthy smile, to a marketer, work employee or some other person that EVERYONE likes, because the deep thinking goblin tells you that what that person is and does, its shit.
The deep thinking goblin goes out into the city, sees all the humies, knife-ears, fat stunty beards on legs and other assortments of nurgle worshipping retards and tells you "when they smile at you, give them the meanest look you can muster, because they are probably fapping to slaneshi rule 34 trap-porn and accidently saw lewd nurgle fanart. But they didn't close the tab. They stayed. They fapped. And conquered. Vidi Vici Veni ."
and still, this deep thinking goblin is like a god.

Don't talk to me or my son or my squig ever again

>tomorrow

Doesn't total war access make it available on monday? Not sunday?

Lonely Lady

Doesn't it force you to actually be the faction leader like with everyone other faction? Its just who you start with.

No, that is his mushroom brandisher. A very respectable position in a gobbo's retinue.

but seriously

why does this game have no tutorial mode

>vidi vici veni

Ayo so u be sayin we wuz trees n sheeit?

There is the encyclopedia and one for every faction if you're talking about warhammer

>His first LL not going to be person with best hat
Explain yourself

>he isn't going to play as alberic, overthrow louen, burn the fay enchantress at the stake, and turn brettonia into a modernized naval power worshipping manaan

>tfw you will never brandish Skarsnik's mushroom.

Yeah, and his trident is so cool, isn't it?

Jesus christ this is the second gold digger I get

...

Finally a pure young waifu like Allah demands

I don't care about chivalry. I'm going to ''handicap'' myself and invade Estalia as soon as I can.
Eventually, I might invade Tilea and make it my vassal.

>play orcs until Legendary campaign completion at launch
>take a break for a few months, go back to try a new faction
>see this goofy motherfucker dancing around
Guess i'm playing orcs again.

You are enjoying that campaign a lot, aren't you?

I like to roleplay the factions I play

Just in time for the savage orc buff too

anyone can claim themselves the caliph - it takes real power to be one.

Excuze me but what ar you implying mon ami?

I'm so hyped. With any luck the badlandsb owl will be unpredictable again.

I

FUCKING

KNEW

IT

I hadn't even considered playing a 0 chivalry campaign, but now I really want to.

Tfw got my paradoxfag friend to start a co-op campaign with me and he stopped playing because he thought it was too easy

Then play a head to head campaign with him and put him in the dirt.

The badlands will be 10 times more interesting once skaven, tomb kings, maybe chorfs, whatever else gets puts down where the tomb kings are, get added to the campaign map.

Who are Skaven?

>tfw only friend who plays TW inevitably ragequits the campaign the second something doesn't go his way
I guess SP is fine too

But

Paradox games are also very easy

They literally just released a game that doesn't have a midgame

>want to start a savage orc army in AoS
>savage orcs get buffed in Total Warhammer

YES

The campaign map really is shit in TW games compared to grand strat, that misses the point of what always made TW so great. It's the mix of strategy vs seeing those units in 3D.

What if I told you that there was a race of ratmen that hide beneath the surface and infest the bowels of every region of the old world, with advanced but unreliable technology, with hordes of mutated creatures and sheer swarms of rat bastards plotting to take over the world, and that their capital is in this very swamp?
Just kidding, they're just uglier beastmen. Nothing to worry about.

Shut the FUCK up saltzpyre, Sigmar be damned this is why no one likes being around you anymore.

>a race of ratmen that hide beneath the surface and infest the bowels of every region of the old world
FUCKIN SIGN ME UP

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Toledo......

I want to be dominated by a best elf!

Skaven is a reddit race

What's the true and honest Veeky Forums approved race then

Who will we see after Bretonnia?

Nippon

Still better than most degenerate race for plebs Lizardshits

By the Emperor's Foot!

Also zoomed in battle screenshots are a reaction image gold mine.

>mfw deusvult fags will get blown the fuck away by Brettonia, because rather than going on greed-fueled crusade against a foreign religion to earn fiefs under the pretense of religion, you'll instead have chivalrous knights who wish to protect the innocent, quest for the lady of the lake and oppress peasants violently

Old Friend

...

Probably the next major expansion, that will be High Elves, Dark elves and Lizardmen(and perhaps naval battles)
