>Abusing the Menace Below
I don't think you understand how skaven work, user.

>>huge amounts of water
>>no naval battles
That's just because of copyright issues, though.

No idea, one minute we were shitposting about rats and the-

...you don't think

mods are dumb cunts

Why the fuck old thread 404?!

One day I too hope to reach a level of this happy.

Ulthuan was a mistake

I legit cannot tell if you're memeing or are this misinformed, since CA themselves have said that's nonsense

You forgot
>paying full price for an expansion

UPDATE UR FUCKIN DRIVERS

i really cant tell if skaven need reworking/buffs or lizards need nerfs

>Doomrockets
>Abuse

How can you abuse a single shot weapon that at most destroys one fourth of a unit?

DELETE-REMOVE THIS MAN-THING

Honestly they feel balanced to me. Saurus' should saw through thousands of clanrats and slaves. The only time I ever had any actual "trouble" was when I ran into rat ogres and artillery

Well they would say that wouldn't they.

That's even sadder, honestly

Skaven AI need a buff for sure, they build nothing but stacks of useless clanrats

Also lizards are basically the ideal counter to Skaven since they never break

Weren't auto build ladders a thing in shogun 2 sieges ? So therefore started on history first?

>Throw skavenslaves and clanrats against veteran saurus and monsters
>Skavenslaves and clanrats literally have 'expendable' written into their profiles
>Get predictably rekt
>Buff muh rats ;__;
>Nerf mean ol' lizards >:(

Dumbass.

>Friend wants to play coop
>He doesn't want to play on anything but easy

LOVE ETERNAL!
What happened?

> playing as Pestilens

> thought i'd be safe waiting until the plague was over
> it spreads to my rats
> withdraw them to my cities to try to counter the attrition
> it spreads to my cities
FUCK

no you're thinking of empire where troops pulled out grappling hooks
in shogun 2 they just free-climbed up the walls (and many would fall down)
it wasn't in rome 2 or attila either

pls don't ever make the slashes backwards ever again

Hydras or Black Dragons?
I personally love Hydras because they can tank a lot of shit and also are cheaper, not to forget they look so sexy.

But they are up-to-date.
tww2 game-ready drivers when?

>yfw the 'New Experiment' is naval combat

It's not because of Copyright. CA have said outright it's because of budget (and because everyone always bitches about naval).

If they had copyright as an excuse don't you think they'd be the first to harp on it to get people off their backs about it? It's pure Charlemagnes. Remember these are the people that said a Jabberslythe would cost as much as AoC to develop

>optimization is far worse than the first game
So that's why I'm getting a higher fps in siege battles on ultra than I do in game 1 on high? Ah I see hard to argue with infallible logic of an anti fantasy shit poster.

NVM I was thinking of those troops you could have climb the castle walls straight to get cap point. But those were ropes or spider Man skills or whatever. Not ladders.

Skaven struggle early on against Lizardmen but once you get artillery, you can just pin them in place with slaves/clanrats and shoot the shit out of them because they're pretty slow.

\twg\ instead of /twg/
You had one job

>initiate ritual even though i only have like 2 doomstacks in my territory because last time the chaos invaders were pussies
>mfw they fucking hit the gym
>INTERVENTION ARMY
>they start razing settlements instead of attacking the ritual cities

This is ass.

its an army painter dumbass

The only way to make this more Skaven is if your lord was Thanquol

I'm sorry I just copied the last one

Do you think that was why we got pruned?

I fucking hope so.

The problem is that Skaven almost never build anything but clanrats retard

They also make poor use of menace from below

>naval combat
>literally THE battle type that never worked and was autoresolved 99% of the time

...

mortal empires when

OP probably shitposted in another thread and got banned.

It's good you're getting into the proper spirit of Skaven.

Not him but- my fps in 2 is significantly worse than in 1. In 1 my settings were all on high. in 2 my settings are all on medium or low. Not sure why

>experiment
>army painter
if anything the experiment will probably be something skaven related and be disappointing

>works on my machine

insightful, now talk to all the other people who could run game 1 at 60+ fps but now the same settings in 2 put them down to 30

All of the skaven units they left out are for a skryre DLC so no it wont be that

>Skaven need to be buffed or Lizardmen nerfed
>Oh no, I didn't mean Skaven needed to be buffed or Lizardmen nerfed, I meant the Skaven AI needs to be improved

You waste of skin.

no I didn't for once

I can only assume it got deleted because the platoon picture and also because mods are fags

MODS

THE ETERNAL FAGS

Are you special?

>you will never remove thaggoraki as the dawi

HOW LONG MUST I WAIT

All we know is "Weeks not Months"

So 7 weeks probably

So 6 more weeks

it can't be that hard to make a faction unlocker

I can't second this enough.

Honestly, Creative Assembly is the Games Workshop of videogame world. They just don't care about their game, they just put all the little money Sega gives them into unit models and campaign map graphics and sell that game to casual retards who have never played a total war game before and hence don't know any better.

Fuck CA and fuck Sega, I wish the copyright law was different so that someone actually skilled could make a proper Total war game, or at least give CA some competition.

I want muh Best Elfs.

Post units we will never see in the game.
I will start with the obvious one.

This. So much this...

my turn 117 army comp
skaven buff when?

>reskinned hydra
Why not? The frame is in the game.

>tfw 2 hydras breathing fire down a line of spearmen at the same time
Oh god it's heaven

>when you beat mommy but I can't recruit her as your lordfu
didn't know you couldn't have two LLs

Wasn't evidence of that actually found in the game files?
Or am I thinking of one of the fake shitposts?

you realize CA doesn't have the genre fucking copyrighted or anything. And there has been competition - that King Arthur game springs to mind.

There is nothing preventing competition except the fact it's a very niche market and making an engine for it is hard and expensive.

Didn't data-mining already reveal that things name buried in the files?

playing on large should be against the rules of this general

...

>Doesn't mention the attrocious interface this game has to offer.

Morathi really is nothing more then a petty slut huh?

i could see that as a RoR reskin

if we dont get Jazzeils i'll riot

Was whining about Skaven being weak in multiplayer earlier

I retract that statement, taking catapults and gutter runners over deathglobes was the greatest decision I've ever made

On a winstreak now

you have to confederate

>sadbird.jpg

can't change midcampaign

Objective truth. If you say otherwise you are nothing but a shill.

Is there a way to make my Skink spear chuckers stand and fight and not run away whenever anyone gets within half their throw distance? I feel like they spend more time running that shooting fuckers I tell them to shoot. Or they seem to freeze up when they have other units infront of them. I know theres some potential friendly fire, but goddamn I don't care throw the fucking spear at the goddamn hydra you piece of shit!

Or should I just stop using skinks entirely... are they good for anything other than riding pteradactyls?

yeah i cant see globes being to great in multi since everyone will see them as a priority target, runners are probly cheaper and a outright pain to chase

Reminder to just lower the gamma and brightness on your settings if you find the graphics too colorful for your taste.

I set mine to 12/14 and now my game looks grimdark as fuck

>not chadhammer

Turn off skirmish mode

Obvious falseflagging fantasyfag trying to make historyfags look bad

You can turn of skirmish mode for them to stop them from running. As for freezing up, there's some issues with units suddenly stopping whatever they're doing but hopefully it will get fixed.

I want off Mr Skrolk's Wild Ride

Does anyone else think Slann feel like shitty casters? I expected a bit more oomph...

*record scratch*
*freeze frame*
>yup, thats me. you're probably wondering how I got here...

Turin said 20-24 days

Morathi is that hot, rich, mean bitch girl in highschool, except she has magical super powers and worships a transvestite goddyss of sex drugs and rock and roll.

So yes.

...

they decided to keep their shitty lores of magic and vortexes instead of doing the cool shit they do in lore like heaving around the very earth
could've at least made a spell that resembles a gigantic artillery piece being thrown across the map

>huge amounts of water
>no naval battles
Naval battles are mildly entertaining at best, terrible at worst. The amount of charlmagnes it would cost to make a fully functioning naval system is not worth it. Although I'd appreciate naval units like Rome 1/Med 2
>shit sieges
Sieges are fine atm, better than most games in the franchise
>extremely quick micro intense esport battles with very little strategy
matter of taste, I like that battles can be completed quickly. Stops a campaign lasting for a month
>terrible campaign gimmick
Mortal Empires will be out soon so who cares. Gimmicky campaign will be fun for the first couple of play throughs
>stacks coded to spawn where your armies arent when a ritual is started = anti campaign strategy
Spawns are based ritual sites, not army placements
>casual features put in place to make sure its impossible to lose a campaign
features exist to stop you losing the vortex race. you can still lose in the normal way
>lazily teleport your army across the map to do missions
beats walking there
>lazily spend money to create armies that are teleported into the enemies territory that will attack the enemy for you
>no formations
>implying people ever use that
>terrible sharpness filter
hey a valid point
>pulling ladders out of your ass
was a feature in Shogun 2, which has some of the best sieges in the game
>no banners or musicians
sucks, but it's a pointless feature
>diplomacy screen banter does not match who they are talking to or where they are at half the time
another valid point, although it could be a bug. Who knows
>optimization is far worse than the first game
Better than Attila and Rome 2 on release. Could be better though

>Finish up Mazdamundi, time to give Malekith a try
>Effortlessly roll literally anybody without ever having to stop
>This is only turn 23
>I'll be on Ulthuan by turn 40

Coming for that crown, Finubar
