/twg/ Total War General

Vlad and Isabella are their own faction.

Mannfred is still the leader of Vampire Counts.

So I'll have to buy another game to play the next warhammer "expansion"? I thought they'd be DLC

Can Bretonnia not occupy Greenskin cities or something? I just attacked the Greenskin city in the mountain on turn 2. It doesn't give me the option to occupy it.

>in an era we've not visited yet
PLACE YOUR BETS

Literally the only right choice

Renaissance

The new "expansion" will have more content in it than the initial release. It is probably best released as a full sequel.

>Not rushing the heraldry

Why haven't you united Bretonnia yet /twg/?

Is the trait system for just Brettonia? Some of these are pretty damn cool.

From the way SEGA seems to be pushing their market strategy they do minor races as DLC but drop new land masses and major races in full priced expansions.

Expect the next expansion to either go west to the lands of the High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, and Skaven or east to the Chaos Dwarves, Ogre Kingdoms, and Cathay (potentially Nippon).

If they're going to invest in China aesthetics for Cathay they might as well do a Total War game set in China.

china 3 kingdoms

1500-1700 for sure. this era has everything. medieval battles in the beginning, guns later on, huge battleships and colonialism.

>mfw I can finally have the REAL VON CARSTEIN as my faction leader

>Fantasy Landsknechts AND historical landsknechts

Not sure if my boner could handle that

Is there any reason to take a Ghoul King over a regular Vampire Lord besides the fact they look kinda cool?

this guy knows what's up

>mfw my Damsel (beasts) got the Perverted trait

unfortunately yes

some of those lord-slayer traits would be great on other factions

>china tw

literally just a worse shogun, arr rook same without any of the charm that a japanese setting has

ROLLAN!

>Start Bretonnia game
>3 turns in, orc incursion event
>4 turns later, Marienburg and Skullsmashas attack with a full stack each, completely ignoring each other in favor of raping my capitol

10/10 a+++ ai programming almost as good as the time the wood elves and the beastmen formed a military alliance against me in the wood elf campaign

Maybe, the only thing known for sure is that Wood Elves are the last big faction
There's so much crap that can be added in that I don't think CA will ever run out of things to be put in as DLC if they want

good luck, just Knight the shit out of their useless Marauder asses

>an era where we can copy 90% of the empire units, so we have less work to do

sadly yes, the best perk is when you have a brothel in one of your cities and you let your lord sit there for a while

>look kinda cool?
you mean look kinda Ghool

YES

They may do Shoot and Poke just to get their new playerbase interested. But I would be down for anything really.

I mean I would love a new a medival..but if that is not up for debate.

Gib Pike an Shot pls.

>Elector Cunts dlc
>Gives the Empire some much needed subfactions with updated counts as their LLs
>Throws in some new Empire units, maybe some subfaction specific ones
>Also a free patch that fleshes out the Empire campaign

>an era where we can copy 90% of the empire units, so we have less work to do
They'll do it, CA is a lazy bunch

...

should I play Empire or Brets first?

been waiting for the release so I can start my second campagin on VH after beating it as dorfs

>boris is old friend with knights of the white wolf that are like questing knights with an additional bonus vs inf

yes

They are STR boyz. Sacrifice Magic for mad gains.

Does this mean we are not getting all factions on one map?

>want to confederate Lyonesse so i have the capital for Mousillon
>Leoncoeur sweeps it right away under my nose
>just wait until he confederates everything and declares a full retarded war against treefucks and goblins
>he accepts my confederation request and removes himself into the cuckshed

feels good man

Ghoul King have a terrorgheist mount. There's the fact that it have Poison Attacks, Armor Piercing, Anti-Large and Terror and it's spells are not bad at all.

It's gonna be Puke & Shit unfortunately.

Rollan even though I'll probably just play Isabella anyways

Total War: Protozoa

Fight for the right to be multicellular.

>Still no unmounted Reikguards

Rome II was released on 3rd September. Attila was announced one year later in August.
Warhams was released at the end of May. This means we will have an Addon announcement in March or April at the latest.

Summon a squad of Crypt Horrors when you overcast raise dead.

Also good passives for buffing beast type undead

Total War : American Civil War

Bretonnian Aura sizes
>+25% when attacking (Louen's buff)
>+30% when attacking (Good Attacker Trait)
>+40% aura size (General skill)
>+50% when fighting Chaos (Decree)

Do these stack?

>tfw can't play Brets till after work

a-are they fun? What am I missing out on guise?

>No provincial units
I want my Honor Company and Carroburgs dammit.

Best faction yet

Blessing of the Lady and Green Knight are baller but trying to take Moussilon is a special kind of hell

Man seriously this fucking guy has been following me for like 20 turns and he keeps reducing my movement speed. I found him when I was attacking the bretonnians and he's been following me since then.

I got rid of all the elves and I burned their fucking tree but this guy doesn't die and he keeps following me and blocking my army.

Go back to your fucking tree dude

It's my first time playing this game so I might be missing something but why are the elves still out there?

early game war is very hard, due to the peasant economy and overall poor leadership of the infantry units. but mid game you'll be able to fuck any army, as long a you have an very good micromanagement ability

So what am I even supposed to do in the beginning of the Bretonnia campaign? My town public order/control is fucked at the beginning due to the -20 from the orcs for 20 turns and all the nearby towns that I'm at war with have big ass armies near them so it's not like I can take them right away.
I miss the hand holding that the other campaigns give.

The character card for Isabella claims she is a 'powerful spellcaster' and a 'master of the lore of vampires' but I don't see anything that sets her apart from a pathetic necromancer. Whats the deal?

They're better than regular Vamps imo. At least mine usually got more kills.

Caster lords are shit, that's the deal.

> That gold count

What infantry should I use as Brets? I notice that the battle pilgrims seem to be stronger than the tier 4 infantry but that can't be right?

But Darth already made that.

I want to be dominated by a best elf!

Farm gold and xp with the greenskin armies that appear as rebellions.

They probably have an outpost somewhere. Also, why haven't you just assasinated him yet? You did train a hero for that, right?

What are you reacting to? I see nothing out of the ordinary.

3 separate games you can combine to one big

Download dumb AI agent mod

That's normal. Chaos get mad sacking buffs. You can easily sack a city for 80000.

never played Chaos before?

>>Have Bretonnia installed, but they aren't showing up on the campaign selection screen
What gives? Do I need to verify the game cache or some shit like that?

Probably the Renaissance through the Pike and Shot era.

oohh so tempting

do I fight the red duke in battle or just rape his empty settlement and let him die

...

Why do people keep asking this when it was answered ages ago?

Cause he's playin chaos and who got time for learning mechanics when you can roll a single stack of death and only focus on razing stuff one by one.

desu senpai just mod agents out of existence, they bring nothing to the table in the campaign map beside being annoying.

No, I haven't shelled out for the DLC even though I like Chaos as a faction, but all I ever hear about is how shitty their campaign is in here.

never played legendary before lads, though I've been playing on Hard for years

what am I in for with a legendary Empire campaign?
am I fugged?

HONOR IS ALL

Well you're right. I got em for free though. At least the battles are really fun.

Let's hope they make his magic stronger.

btw. Who is next? Dark elves? Even angrier manlets? 420 elves?

Because believe it or not there's always gonna be a newfag in the thread. Plus said information is not readily at hand AND people are usually too lazy to google the fucking answer so they'll ask here looking to get spoonfed.

Probably all of those plus lizardmen
Plus, I hope that they've been working on improving some mechanics behind the scenes as well as the races

hopefully Pinky and the Brain gone wrong, gone steampunk

>And with Bretonnia, we’re bringing our time in the Old World to a close
KISLEV

BORDER PRINCES

EMPIRE REWORK

CHAOS REWORK

REEEEEEEEE

New world with dark/high elves and lizardmen, prob skaven dlc later on

Skaven X Lizards
High X Dark

Please be ratpeople, I need something cool besides gobbos.

Wait for TWWH - Elector Count edition :^)

Expansion next, which means:
>High Elves
>Dark Elves
>Lizardmen
>Probably (Skaven)

*muffled "hol up" in the distance*

Most people that say the campaign is shitty don't like hordes and/or are bad at playing them. Most people never even do lord swapping, and many are scared of huge negative income.

The question was rhetorical, it was merely to point out that they are indeed babbies like you said.

>everybody having problems w/ mousillon

heres how you deal with those cunts

>get alberic/your lord a full stack
>sit in ambush stance somewhere close to the border w/ mousillon
>wait for the red duke to inevitably enter northern bordelaux to raid
>kill his army
>siege his settlement
>win
>occupy
>enjoy having to deal with constant incursions in both mousillon and bordelaux

So I just started a Gelt playthrough.

The +10 armour feels good and makes a visible difference, but the lack of killing power is still a problem if the armies are vaguely balanced. Just fought 24 units at Eilhart, and while I won, I lost way more of my guys than I'd like, because I had no way of telling a single unit FUCK YOU in the same way as Karl does and snowballing from there, particularly combat lords.

Outriders just aren't Reiksguard, and while Greatswords are great, they're surprisingly fragile, as I basically have to use them as my Lord killers.

Dark and High Elves seem like obvious choices. Lizards as well because of the region.

I'm hoping Skaven make it in as a starting race (mostly so they can be added to the old world and give more stuff to fight) but I suspect they won't be.

>ambush
Discarded, what are you an empire plebeian?

>Lord assasinated; reset whole building chain.
>Roam and kill stuff the get chased by 8 stacks for 20 turns, that's about it.
>No economy.
>Multiple stack battles are not incentivize at all.
>Boring units without special flavours, mostly unkillable tincans.
>Few events like the blood moon.
Yeah chaos campaign is totally not shit.
