/twg/ TOTAL WAR GENERAL

dunno dude

LOVE ETERNAL!

I get the feeling someone at CA loves dark elves, hates lizards, HATES helves, and I dunno about skaven

More spears and spear cav

Shogun 2 uses 1 core

>hates lizards

They are fucking strong though.

>Low Elves crying that they aren't OP enough
It's just like table top.

All their monstrous infantry are liable to get turned to gibs with so much anti large thou.

I feel like spears should either have no anti large or half as much anti large as halberd types. I guess you can see halberds having anti large and AP vs just plain large, but it's not like larges tend to have a lot of armor (until we get to the ogre kingdoms) do they?

convince me to start a WRE playthrough
I'm not a masochist

So you have to dig up the bones of a computer from 2011 to run this game smooth?

Damn shame. Warhammer TW runs like a fucken dream.

It's easy

monstrous units, not monstrous infantry.

>muh helf lore
like clockwork

The elite unit for every faction is a halberd (black guard, phoenix guard, stormvermin, temple guard) and unlike the original where the dwarfs had no spears and greenskins/vamps only had a handful, every faction has spear units as their basic bread and butter.

Ironic for that guy spammng the shitty speramanii meme isn't it?

>but it's not like larges tend to have a lot of armor
Lizardmen dinos are very well armored

No better feeling than putting the empire's enemies to the sword and coming out on top

Oh ok. Are lizard dinos armored in stats or just in fluff? I was assuming they would give beastly types higher HP rather than actual armor.

>unironically buying a 60 dollar expansion pack
explain yourselves fantasyfags

If you don't man up and push back the barbarians and usurpers, the fucking gr**ks will get the empire
And you don't want that, do you?

It's fluff not lore, I'd rather play vanilla but SFO fixes so many problems the developers deliberately made

I'm not poor and it's not an expansion pack

but the empire management is fucking ass

eh both elites (terrorgheists and blood knights) for vamps have anti large

>has spears for basic unit
No, skaven use slings swords and spears
Lizardmen use javelins for skins as tier1 and swords for tier 2 Saurus

33 dollar. Can't even afford that? ;^)

>unironically buying a £40 expansion pack
EXPLAIN YOURSELF ATILLAFAGS
Franks are literally just reskinned gauls

I think you mean
>hobgoblin khan reacts

6 MORE DAYS
GIVE IT UP FOR 6 MORE DAYS

All lizard things have scaly skin on the TT and this includes the big monsters so it's likely to translate to decent armour.

Don't Saurus also come in spear variants? Not templeguard but ordinary ones.

On an aside if you were really drunk and squinted a bit I always thought lizards would play like Rome.
>Heavy infantry
>good auxiliary skirmishers
>Warmachines and borrowing some of Hannibals elephants being replaced by dinosaurs.

They kinda do ingame. I will play them like romans anyway

>hannibals elephants
So I guess every De Barca in Spain are his descendants
They come with spears but that's the tier 3 version whilst templeguard would be tier 4
And yeah I agree with the squint statement WHICH IS WHY IM PLAYING KROQ GAR FIRST

ROLLING FOR KROQGAR OR MALEKITH

AHHHHHHHHHH

stinky rat dick

D I N O

This + magic frogs makes me excited for the game on its own.
That and all the r34 of the best elves I hope we will get.

I already rolled once and got Tyrion

so new rolls don't count for me, I got my boy

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Maniple system will be interesting to implement

Role

...

I haven't seen the stats for lizard units but I would be wary of assuming the TT will transfer over. They didn't appear to transfer over that insane morale of Lizards from TT, CA operates on this apparent idea of "Two hands means AP for heroes/lords" which could mean they decide that armor is only high for physical armor, not hide.

I agree on the whole Roman analogy though.

>Roman war elephants
I know they used them too but to me Romans were never really that keen on the things.
I can't decide between Frog or Kroq

Bless me with digits!

How long will I have to wait to play Best Elfs in Warhammer 2?

Give me Kroq or Frog

Rock the boat!

It would be a shame. Saurus warrior where the best core infantry of the TT, plain and simply, they where the best brick of the game. Sure Chaos warrior where somewhat better on their stat per model, but they where also costing much more while not being that much better, Saurus are just behind and way better when it come to cost efficiency.

>GLORIOUS

Well at launch of course user. They are part of the basic races.

feral stegadon and bastilodon are well armored

saurus warriors w/ spears

Whats the cost for SW?

2 chainz
Again SFO will fix it

I got it for 46CAD so $37

I'd be extremely sad if my slow moving scaly death brick doesn't transfer.

I know mods will probably fix but still

Anyone have recruitment rank autism?
>Pick empire
>Avoid recruiting until I have the max rank buildings

Who going full RATZ here?

>playing greenskins for the first time
>pick Azhag the Slaughterer
>first battle
>flank my boars around over a hill to stay hidden
>wait for the infantry charge
>enemy infantry is getting mashed
>send boars down the hill to chase the chariot
>coward goblin chariot spins and takes off super fast, can't keep up with it
>following the chariot, the boar boys plow through two lines of goblin archers like an unstoppable wrecking ball inadvertantly kicking off a mass rout without me meaning to

I think I found my new favourite faction

As I said a tier 3 unit

COME ON. I NEED KROQGAR FOR RAT AND ELF GENOCIDE

Jesus, what turn is it before you start expanding?

No if I eat too many they give me gas.

Me

The Wissenland province is great for that

>Get the swordsmith building
>get a empire captain with the rank recruit skill
>1-3 gold rank empire swordsmen and greatswords in no time

only in s2, where I only recruit early game and after I have the max rank armor/accuracy buildings

FUCK

...

Chariots are really devastating now if you micro them properly.

...

I can feel it now
2 warp lightning cannons, 3 plagueclaws, 2 warpfire throwers, 2 death runners and fill in the blanks with stormvermin
I'm going to be fucking invincible

>MOMMY

Who would win:

A united Elven civilization (helfs, delfs, and welfs)

Lizardmen with all the original spawning pools and the original Slann Mages

United Skaven clans + the Vampire Counts + Tomb Kings

A united Empire (is all that matters!) + Kislev + Border Princes + Bretonnia and all the Dwarfs of the Old World

Every Greenskin behind one banner

Or a Beastmen, Warriors of Chaos, and Demons of Chaos coalition

?

Don't have the price in head, and only found AoS rule while seeking for it. But it was below a Chaos Warrior by a fair margin.

I'd take out a plagueclaw for a unit of rat ogres, they're essentially your cavalry.

Chaos coalition because they never lose

Yep yep.
Finally got the small settlements slotted out by turn 70. Moonman was a dick. I probably could have reiksguard in reikland, but again. Moonman was a cunt

Does anybody have the stormvermin stats?

Who needs cavalry when you have an invincible line of armored pikerats
I'd think about swapping out one of the aforementioned for a Doomwheel though, based on how well they've performed in all the skaven gameplay videos

>Tomb Kings ever allying with the Vampire counts or the dirty rats
Watch your tongue mortal.

Isnt it already established that united skaven would effortlessly steamroll the entire planet? having vamps and tomb kingz with them would only make it a further joke

Chaos is already essentially united in that they work toward the same goal, they just often fight one another during the task. If you're asking what if they all worked together without any infighting, they'd be essentially unstoppable versus things the way they are between the other factions. Remember it took the strongest ancient elves creating the Vortex to stop the Daemons the first time.

Otherwise, Skaven. They have the numbers and the tech, if they were united and attacked in unison they'd overrun the world. In fact, that's what they did.

According to ET, Chaos will bullshit their way to victory.

Demons of Chaos are infinite so...

The ranking would be

>The edgy crew
>United Skavens, Vampire Counts and Tomb kings
>Every greenskin behind one banner
>Lizardmen
>The good goys
>Elves

are you playing it in dx11 mode?

Unless you're noob cubing you'll want someone to protect your arty from chariots and flankers.

Didn't they only do so because everybody was weakened or not prepared?

same reply as above

The United skaven clans would win through sheer numbers. If you have every single clan unite that is billions upon billions of skaven rising in coordinated assaults across the world with bases hidden beneath each major settlement of the other races (save ulthuan). United Skaven are the single deadliest threat to the entire world. Of course they never unite en masse and when all the council of thirteen agreed to something it ended with a skaven wide civil war.

We've never gotten a good look at them.

>noob cubing
might be the way to go if you take into consideration how strong skaven artillery has been shown to be so far

Could they defeat the Elves though if they all sat in Ultuan?

All non-chaos actions feed chaos, you cannot end it only stall

They would still be shitty skaven tough. With every Slaan priest awoken, fresh and not busy preventing the world from collapsing on itself, they could just wipe them by the billions, especially with combined spell.

>United Skaven clans + the Vampire Counts + Tomb Kings
talk about unlikely

Will pic related get buffs soon?

If all the elves sat in ulthuan and all the dragons were awoke and the skaven only means of reaching ulthuan was through the sea.

Then yes, the elves could probably fend the skaven eternally
