Tekken,

wtf

>dwarflets still doing double rune smith

any decent mod about the great finnish empire?

is fote dead or available for download off workshop?

Wargame RD lets you play a minor skirmish in the hyper war

Doing a turtle campaign where I made Silver Road as comfy as possible and then declared war on everyone.

Without any aggressive AI mods it feels kind of bland though. I haven't left the Silver Road in 120 turns and so far only greenskins have attacked me and Empire has been wiped out by vamps.

I've got a feeling Archaeon will just wipe out everyone and then come for me so I might end up actually becoming the strongest faction left without ever leaving my starting province.

That's a pretty dwarfish campaign.

I'm new to Warhammer and playing as the Empire, so am I supposed to basically turtle up and ignore anything I can't defend since I rely on having full stacks to fight anything?

I confederated some dudes but they just keep getting raided and I can do absolutely nothing about them because I can't leave my core region undefended for even a turn without some orcs or animal men coming out from the woods to undo all progress I did building them up

what should i do in this situation
A) use my armies with low tier troops to try to take the easterm roman empire head-on to the west
B) deal with the rebels to the north and go deal with the romans later on

Build walls everywhere + plan your expansions.

>raze empire successionist city elihart
>skarnik marches whole army over to ruins
>stands there for a few turns
>mean while those dwarfs have taken his entire province

odd

Are those rebels even a threat to your settlements?

I think it hasn't worked out so well though because the AI can't seem to take garrisons into account.

Bloody Handz have sieged Karaz-a-Karak 3 times now without a strong enough force to take on it's garrison alone.

I think the main reason they think they can attack is because Thorgrim is sitting there with just 4 units.

So is High Elven territory on Ulthuan gonna function much like Athel Loren in that they'll have fuckhuge garrisons and camp a full stack there all game until you confederate them?

Will there be any other races present on Ulthuan?

What's the "End Times" gonna be like for them? I can't see Archaon and co swimming across the Ocean just to burn everything on the island down.

His schemes are beyond your comprehension.

Ancyra was my settlement and they took it last turn
also i have an entire army in the eastern limit of my empire just to try to kill off the white huns but they are too far away to be of any relevance in short term

You might be able to do both if you are good enough then.

artist's rendition of the first scene attached

That's kind of what I'm doing, confederations were basically me trying to do something while building up to see if I could squeeze some money out of them before they inevitably fell. I did manage to grab one minor settlement I can defend I guess, since it's right next to my capital so I can leave a stack nearby to defend both of them.

>So is High Elven territory on Ulthuan gonna function much like Athel Loren
Probably
Makes as much sense for high elves as it does for wood elves
Dark Elves might have a raiding party on Ulthuan
End Times for them will probably be chaos coming out of the vortex to fuck them up

>This is your brain on warpstone

Alright which one of you faggots just fought me in quickbattle and dropped /tv/ memes in the chat

Planing to start a campaign as the jewts, recommend me places to culturally enrich

>Rome Total War
>2004 game, cavalry (and all other units) collide with trees and have a harder time charing and marching through trees
>2015 game, cavalry goes through trees on charge like if they were actual ghosts
>trees actually only seem to affect visibility and projectiles
you are assuming im good in my first Attila campaign hehe
well, im gonna try to go for the romans just because of how massive the battle is gonna be.

So after beastmen raze a settlement, they just leave a permanent chaos corruption causing shit untill I go and colonize it again?

Shit's fucked, yo

Made chuckle enough to screencap it

I'm not good at Warhammer

>2 /twg/ threads are up

Auto resolve is straight fucks and values some troop types far too much

anyone wanna play online with me on attila? havent tried it yet.
im west EU with 20 Mbps upload speed so i can probably host with no problems
steamcommunity.com/id/XSAGEX/

the old one hit image limit, dunno why people havent fully abandoned it yet

>13 weeks tomorrow since Bretonnia launched.
>Still no Old Friend info.
>mfw

>still caring about old friend when its already confirmed to be a disappointment

pretty much this, even the "best"/likely case scenario at this point would be completely underwhelming compared to the almost solid year or mysterious looming

I would be right miffed it is it VC getting yet another piece of content from the undead cock-sucking CA

I was hoping for toddbringer, but honestly Krell is fucking great so if he gets added its a win/win

The complete communications blackout is the frustrating part.

>when undead fucking shits wipe the Empire off the map when you play as Archaon
youtube.com/watch?v=KmeCru4n0yg

I mean, Krell was who I expected it to be since way before the entire retarded hype train reached 1000 mph and crashed, so I'm perfectly alright with him

The thing is that when they DO communicate they constantly put their fucking foot in their mouth, so I get why it's going on

They already said it's "not just a legendary lord".
If its an overhaul of the vanilla factions to bring them to DLC tier factions. I'll be happy.

PRINCE AND EMPEROR

doubt it since they also said it wont be a faction, and I assume they put overhauls of factions in that too

and it also wouldnt make sense at all for it to be called old friend if that were the case

...

memes

...

what other new memes got in?

>shit tier spam gets into /twg/s team

fucking cancer

>blood knights (albeit missing from launch)
>a FLC faction addon
>so many LL's they had to split the faction
>the most complete roster of a major faction
>always top tier
>most recent summoning """nerf""" buffed their version to hell
>also got the red duke for MP who is really strong
>and at this point likely to get the final FLC even though they just had one before Bretonnia

I don't even like Empire and I feel bad for them

Why would anyone play this game unless it's the absolutely superior version that is TW2? I've played nearly every installment of this series and not a single one even comes close.

...

So are lizard men going to play exactly like orcs?
just ctrlgroup attack all your melee infantry and have skinks shoot over the battle line

???

>summoning nerf makes lore of the wild one of the worst lores in the game, reduces lore of beasts t oflock of doom
>vamp cunts get the ability to shit out zombies almost constantly for piss WoM

seems like it
>saurus=orcs
>skinks=gobbos
>chameleon skinks=night gobbos
>have a wide seletion of monsters instead of a wide selection of light cav

>enemies break, break through my units past my line, rally and attack me in the rear

This is such utter fucking bullshit

Why didnt your reserve clean them up?

Tree Hitler, Mannlet, OVER THE ALPS YOU SAY?

Aesthetics wise, I don't have anything for them. We should be getting "default" skeleton players with Tomb King helmets and hopefully a Mannlet head. I took out most of the image card head players because having a full team of them looked bad and distracting so thought we might as well have some fun with it and get some skellies.

There's also the Squig Ball which I don't have in game yet.

>reserve

It was an outnumbered garrison force, couldn't really spare any

>people complain magic doesn't do enough
>put every lore outside healing ones in the trash

thats why i run overhaul mods, at least shadow is ok in vanilla

>tww siege battle
>enemy breaks on the wall, routs off of the wall, into the city, regroups, and captures the victory point

>OVER THE ALPS YOU SAY?
shouldn't it be "perhaps" instead of "you say"?

I'm an idiot. Medieval 2 Total War is the right name for it. Either way, it's so much better than any other game in the world.

I've seen both but I can change it easily enough

"EVERYTHING IS GOING TO PLAN but btw we're not going to tell you when this thing is going to come out and then be SHOCKED that you overhyped it."
