/twg/ - Total War General

For anyone who cares, humble bundle are having a seemingly random 50% off sale on total war: warhammer DLC (nothing for Norsca though), which I believe is the deepest discount yet?

humblebundle.com/store/search?sort=bestselling&search=total war warhammer

Post unit types that get you hot and bothered

>light-medium skirmish/auxiliary infantry (hypaspists, free company, rorarii, etc

END IT! their job at CA I mean

Lizardmen Campaign Mechanics
>Capture Specific Cities to add power to the Geomantic Web
>The Geomantic Web let's you preform unique rites for special campaign bonuses, recruiting a Slann as a Lord will be one of them

It seems likely that Slann will not be normally recruitable

noice

Important poll pls respond

strawpoll.me/13881230

gib source ma mang

But isn't that the same thing for the other factions, capture cities to perform rites?

source or gtfo

In terms of melee ability, Queek could destroy Skarsnik. If they both had their full inventory and items then it's closer, depends if Queeks armour could save him from the prodder and how Gobbla would perform, but Queek could also handily kill Gobbla.

Is there a worse nightmare scenario?

The source is I interviewed Rich from CA at PAX last weekend and that's what he told me.

>Actually winning a game in multiplayer as a meme army of Goblins

I believe you and it makes sense, also I'm not interested in Lizardmemes anyway

battle of Cannae

>Queek could also handily kill Gobbla
Take that back, nothing beats Gobbla!

When normies see this they only see a bunch of red squares and boring shit, but we are total war players right guys? right?

I don't know what's going on though

I like that considering their supposed to be really rare.

Just wait for them to run out of ammo

Are you looking forward to playing the ((((elvish)))) world conspiracy?

It is now September, and the return of the true Phoenix King is nigh. All across Naggaroth the legions of the Witch King beckon to their sovereigns summons.

Surveying his skin cloth campaign map for the last time, Malekith knows to be ever weary of the roving tribes in the north; and also not to be ignorant of any ambitious dreadlords.
Word has reached him that his mother has marched south without order, it is of little consequence, though the rumour that she has resurrected her cult of pleasure is troubling.

On Ulthuan his spies report that Tyrion is engaged with another cult, taking advantage of the conflict could allow the Witch King to establish another foothold on Ulthuan.

Further south where the shifting sands of Araby blow, it has been reported that the servile men of the Asrai have conquered swathes of land, the riches of this land could well aid Malekiths coffers if he chose to wrest it from them. Though another rumour, perhaps untrue, but not worth ignoring is that a hold of the ratmen is situated somewhere in this land.

Finally from out of the land of Lustria little has been heard, the most valuable pieces of information being that a notable lord of the lizardmen is currently fighting human settlers by himself, it could be advantageous to eliminate such an opponent as swiftly as possible. As for the other piece of information, it has been heard that the whoreson Teclis is leading an expedition on the southernmost tip of Lustria, supposing he survives the dangers of the land it would give Malekith great pleasure to have a rematch.

Regardless of where the first strike is made Malekith will control the vortex and regain his homeland. Domination by a best elf soon!

>Queek could also handily kill Gobbla.
Pfhahahahaha.

Halberdiers.

>red = romans
>blue = horse archers

imo haldberds in tw don't feel all that 'halberdy'. They're practically long axe units.

Gobbla died to a skaven anyway

Yes, plunging Lizards into an all-out civil war where they genocide each other will be delicious!

Not sure if dumb or bait.

touch of indigestion

Yeah, in that shitty End Times fanfic

>no name master moulder does it
>queek can't

In one of the worst fucking asspulls GW has done while making skaven fucking win at everything ever in every damn front.

Use your brain for a second and tell me how much sense it makes for a squig, even more one of the meanest squigs ever, to die from something they eat.

Soon

I WANT TO PLAY NOW NOT IN 3 WEEKS

will be pretty cool I guess, hopefully they'll also get cool mechanics like DElfs and HElfs

>some anons will die within those 3 weeks
I sure as hell hope it's one of you fags and not me

Roll for (one of) your last campaign(s) before the better TWW gets released!

No hairy manlets pls.

>4 factions
>better warhammer
maybe in 1 or 2 years

which one of you says ay instead of ah? are you the same sort of sub breed that pronounces italian as eye-talian?

What's that little island between Lustria and the Southlands? Is this an actual settlement or just a decorative element on the map?

On that note I played the quest battles and I have some thoughts to share.
>Battle music was awesome, at least for Dark Elves, Skaven was a bit hit or miss
>Dark Elf Cold One riders lose control in combat like Lizardmen units, this isn't lore accurate. Rich wasn't sure if this was intentional or not
>Skaven quest battle speeches (Skrolk) are bad but the individual units voicework is great
>Bladewind is absolutely absurd, and will destroy a unit in a matter of seconds
>The doomwheel will first out warp lightning at random targets in a 180 degree arc as long as it's moving, meaning you can micro it heavily

>Empire rework planned at some point
>Free-LC schedule planned
>First DLC is 4 LL's all with unique starting locations

rolling for not dwarfs, bretonnia, beastmen or chaos

in a month or two after release, combined map

5 fucking LL's

gib some good faction pls

There's a settlement on it. I believe the elves who start at war with the Skaven have their capital there

actual HELF settlement

And more to come in the second game. Luthor Harkon soon.

Why would you pronounce it as anything other than [spoiiler] TRVE ROMANS

Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen

>looses the ballisate
>skewer 10 horsefuckers at once
Nothing personnel kid

Doesn't it improve on 1 though? Not in every way mind you but it is an improvement, no?

It looks to be nearly identical. Better art maybe.

Vampires

>trade with todbringer
>gift him tonnes of gold
>gets really big
>coalitions form against him
>he only built up his captial everything else has just Public order
>land fleet
>march to captial
>raze it then head home
>his army deserts due to -5000 income
It's going to be glorious

>It looks to be nearly identical
I mean I geusse ya. But do you honestly believe it's not an improvement? Didn't they remove regional occupation? Isn't that good?

>trade with todbringer
He has no ports.

>Didn't they remove regional occupation?
You should have been playing it modded anyway. So not really.

Rites will add some variety, but they look to be the only thing actually added to the campaign.

>this happens just a day after I buy the grim and the grave
fuck

Grim and the grave isn't exactly a wild party.

The memes are getting out of control at CA.

normies actually commentate on how much they like the storytelling with those NATO or w/e symbols

how can lizerdmen deal with the 6million dragons High Elves have? Do they have great cannon equals?

So this is the power of grace, baka desu senpai

...

how do you do fellow kids

I hate reddit PR

Fuck yes, crazy vampiric pirates

I'm torn. Part of me wants to watch the campaign gameplay and let's play videos but I know this is just going to burn me out and ruin the element of discovery when I play the game because it will feel like I've already seen everything there is to see.

just wanted more empire replayability, that's all
now that this sale has rolled in, are beastmen and belegar worth their price?

Why are you comparing it to modded warhammer? Couldn't you just mod warhammer 2 then?

does basically everyone have a TW: arena closed beta key or is it worth something?

i don't see the appeal of total war: arena
you just command 3 groups...

what the fuck are you on about
are you part of the PR team or?

Solar Engine dinosaurs will work well as anti-dragon artillery I suppose.

tfw I know there is a shitty meme in there but I don't even get it

They have dinos with sun powered laser cannons on their backs

go nuts bro, I've gotten plenty out of them. Definitely beats dlc for two factions that adds like three units apeice.

LOVE ETERNAL

...

Undead with cannons and guns. I can't wait.

>be genius fighting an enemy with scarce supplies on my own turf
>wage unrelenting total war on the Fabian model, denying my opponent rest and food while making him unable to catch and defeat me

>one skirmish goes not so great so I hole up in a town and get trapped
haha LOL, whoopsie, my bad

DUDE
WEED
LMAO

Ayy

Tell me who is the big dick of the old world

oh yeah didn't know the roster is already released, guess it's the pic related. thanks

Holy shit. The joke is even worse than I suspected.

post comfy screens
