/twg/ - Total War General

It's because all of the TWW2 landmasses are too big on that map relative to TWW1.

>United the Empire
>Purge Chaos
>Unit the rest of mankind (Brettonia, the Southern Realms)
>Colonize and conqueror the New Word

Shame there won't be any naval battles or unique units/buildings from the Southern Realms.

>hellpit abomination
ONE HUNDRED MILLION
C H A R L E M A G N E S

Do lizardmen re-use fimir animations? I can't tell.

That's just because Ulthuan is way too big in that map.

Rome 1 > Warhammer > Medieval 2 > Attila > Rome 2 > Medieval 1 > Empire > Napoleon > Shogun 1 > Shogun 2

>Skaven get their big expensive monster
>Beastmen do not

PEE POOS BTFO

Why are Hellpit Abominations in, but Jabberslythes aren't?

>two ruin parts

This is where queek and skolk (i think, that's his name) are right? queek in the badlands with kroq?

Praise be to the Horned One

Skaven? Who would have thought?

I don't care about making a 2nd underground map or naval battles. I just want CA to fix sieges, to make towns and cities like in Atilla.

aww yisss

They probably worked the Charlemagnes team to death for that monster. People fucking dying.

How long til SFO reskins Rat Ogres to be Ghorgons and Hellpit aboms to be Jabberslythes? :^)

Don't think so, they don't look the same to me. And in one of their dev videos they talked about the bespoke animations they did for lizardmen.

What is it with the Charlemagne meme, I apparently was not around when that came into being.

Why do the Empire and the Dwarves continue to use melee infantry? It seems like with their technology they could arm themselves like a nation from the 18th-19th century. Empire has steam power and dwarves have fucking helicopters.

Jabberslythes are a shit anyway, their lore doesn't match their looks.
Ghorgons on the other hand...

>play very hard empire
>all the elector counts randomly declare war to you without any reason or without your relationship being any other than neutral

who's the horned dude on the right?

ONE MILLION CHARLEMAGNES

CA were retarded and wasted time and resources on a minicampaign no one asked for. Though that didn't stop the Wood Elves from getting one of the most complete rosters in the game.

Thankfully they listened to us and have stopped with minicampaigns now. More lords and complete rosters are now in our future.

>waah waah waah
Nobody cared about the jabberslythe until it was dropped. Not a single tabletop beastmen player used them, nobody was hyped to use them, but apparently it's now some sort of tragedy they're not in the game. Yeah, nah, fuck off.

One of the devs in some of the early videos said that they needed to make entirely new animations because any of existing ones were not fitting Lizardman.

Beastmen released with a shitty roster missing core units. Including a missing jabbers. CA claim that making jabbers would cost the entire budget of making the art for Charlemagne so they didnt bother.

Now anything hard to make (jabbers, hellpit, hydra) are compared to their Charlemagne cost to call CA out on their bullshit.

Irondrakes are strong you double gobbo.

Faggot, if you play the Beastmen campaign there are Jabberslythes.
In events

Will we ever see Nagash as a LL? I want to use him to fuck up the world so badly.

T-Thanks, CA.

Not really

But against a horde of armorless rats they will be a core unit for dwarfs.

Unless they get sniped that is.

People were hyped for the Gorgon.

And Taurox

Nobody gives a fuck about Khazrak and he is the worst faction leader in the game which a large margin.

Cute slave-scribe

Makes me wonder if they were actually planned to be included at some point.

>HE not present
HE trailer confirmed BTFO out of rats with kickass Star Dragon.

the ghorgon on the other hand...

Yes, after getting massacred by Best Elves and Lizardmen they need to bully some rats to regain their confidence.

I'm extremely worried that skaven will be like the other factions in that there is no real penalty to just making entire armies of elite units. Skaven is all about the hordes of shitty rats, I don't want entire armies of doomwheels, hellpit abominations, or rattling gunners.

Who gives a shit for TT balance this isnt fucking TT.

The BM cost was a ripoff for its missing units you fucking shill.

>im worried the one sided system of army progression that has been in all tw games will be in this tw game
You know skaven will be nothing but elite armies like every single tw army.

20 stacks were a mistake. We need logistics costs and harsher penalties for stacking elites.

Jesus

Fucking try it scum

Shut the fuck up charlemagnephobo

holy shit OP is bloated with info

might need some trimming

I'm just gonna march around with as many stacks of clanrats as I can. Maybe it'll be more challenging that way
Plus one stack of doomwheels

Now that I think about it, the Dark Elf trailer should have been a Carthage remaster with the High Elves sitting around discussing where Malekith would strike next.

>"I suppose he shall bring with him and army of War Hydras!"

me on the left

>irondrakes
>worthless
This is how I know you are a shittier

Lost all my clowns in the fight

I dunno, his End Times model is shit. Floating around like you're too good for everyone is a boring battlefield centerpiece.

>Pictured: A man beyond petty notions of morality or fashion sense

You could either put a system like the one TT had, where you had to take a force of normal units as a base and then add elites and rares with no chance to spam them. Or you could put a hard cap on elite units like some older games did. Or you could remove the 20 unit limit and give stacking penalties if you have too many troops in the same province, with elites being more resource-heavy and thus harder to sustain if spammed. Or you could have a manpower system like in DeI so that you have a small pool for elites and other specialists, thus forcing you to rely on common units.

>install gccm
>attack a vamp settlement
>they htowers shooting projectiles at me
wtf
I'm definitely uninstalling this shit

...

That model was too goofy even by the standards of when it came out. The new one is leagues better.

Is there a mod that makes ai army composition make more sense? I don't want the to be "better" per say, just more rational. Its weird when a standard north-man incursion is packed with a bunch of exotic monstrous units.

You want expanded building slots, the reason the AI gets shoehorned into garbage army comps is they don't have enough slots for multiple military buildings

>Meanwhile Franz gets "cowardly" and "likes Chaos".

I remember reading something about there being another model but they fucked up the head or something.

When will this bullying ever stop?

Yep, but it's not updated yet, were are waiting

>Slaanesh Throgg

>one one-night dangle with a daemonette and you get branded for liking chaos

Are the ai even constrained by their buildings? I thought they just willed their armies into existence whenever the game thought it appropriate.

Basically how I play Gelt with enough of the missle damage/armour/ward save talents

They have money and public order cheats but they can still only recruit based on their buildings.

Lads are you excited for all the new races to have random bullshit events that cripple your economy and/or saddle you with battlefield penalties for ten turns and can stack on top of one another.

>tfw never bothered hiring jBray-Shamans or Orc Shamans because they kept wounding themselves at the start of every turn.

I experimented with something like that as well but concluded that you need at least six units of melee line infantry. Guns just aren't effective enough.

At least he doesn't smell like piss

How's Kemmler been since the update?

Actually the devs explained that their motion captures for the Lizardmen weren't "animalistic" enough so they had one of their staff feed a broom up his ass and motion captured him lurching around to get the effects they wanted.

>watch one of Party Elites videos where he talks about what CA told him
>we're going to see a race that's "really good at sea, that they can't say anything about right now"

What is it?

Is this a joke.

HE or DE

Dogs of war.

probably dark elves

>really good at sea

I'm pretty sure the High Elves have the best navy but obviously they have already been announced.

>RotS
>happily dicking around making border daimyo swear allegiance to me
>heh this game's eas-
>suddenly 2 of my major rivals war me
>each moves with a full stack on my provinces (one coming by boat from halfway across the map)
o-ok

Khazzy is ok with his tsundere Todbringer thing but Total War games can't really represent rivalries very well.

Morthur works better since he's basically the living antithesis of Welfs.

I can't even remember who the winged retard is.

Fimir were developed after Lizardmen - it's possible the Fimir use the same skeleton as a Lizardmen unit, if not the same animations too. Skinwolves are based on Strigoi skeleton, but with some new animations.

The no naval battles race.

Who gives a fuck if somethign is good at sea when there are no battles? Oh cool bonus to autocalc, fuck you.

Brings me back to Shogun 2

Malagor and he's the most important of the three since he's actually relevent beyond LOL BURN TREES AND KILL HUMANS

>be werekin, monstrous & horrifying wolf-man hybrid, feared across norsca
>put on deer skull hat to look more fearsome

He should've been the faction leader.

Pygmies I think or maybe halflings

>including a fantasy game in your historical game rankings

What are they doing to do with all that warpstone?

100% agree'd

Summon a Verminlord

Piss it all away.
