Summary:
Saga title is a spiritual successor to Rome 2. Some are guessing the map will be Britannia.
Campaign pack coming up for a past history title, probably Rome 2.
Next big history game is a setting they've never done before. Will feature "important character relations that occur between the major personalities in the game."

Workshop for Warhammer 2 hasn't been enabled yet but will be. Manually installing mods still works.
Some nice little mods (better camera, resized lords, climate battles, thicker dust, bigger units):

First for ASUR!

THAT...WAS...A....CLOSE....BATTLLE.....DAMN.....

So.. are there no spear/shield/pike formations like in Rome in this game?
Or am I just not seeing it?

nice game fantasy babs

no

are the random as fuck wardecs cut back on difficulties lower than Very Hard?

wtf I hate warhammer now

How come units don't get leaders in higher tier armor and stuff

DROO-KAI

This is the correct pronunciation-.

DRU-SHAI

>plebbitrats

I just love how you can ignore all the effort that was put into the unit design by just having Tyrion and a noble or two creating blobs in front of their ranged infantry and kill anything.
Plus, no more need for different units, just spam LSG to both archers and front line and a few Silverhelms and later Dragon princes to charge in or run down after.

Martial Prowess is quite good tbqhwufam

B-but it's got cool monsters and colorful magic explosions!

Played it for probably 20 hours now and I agree.
It was a bad game overall, the only fun part is to fight different kind of factions which includes dragons, huge rats, monsters, etc etc.
I really, REALLY hope they open the entire game to modders. That could probably save it.

I hate that fat frog fucker.

It's been 4 days now.

Can we have the fucking workshop back? I need mods in my life.

Dragon Princes in Loremaster colours look pretty tight.

>tfw no cute drookey gf

I've killed him 5 times now

>be Asur
>shit arrows on everything
>change archers to anti large infantry
>have best cavalry in the game for anything else

Is there a point to having any other unit in elven army than LSG with shields, Dragon princes two Nobles on chariots, Tyrion, mage for dwelvers bellow and maybe ECBT to initiate the combat on your own terms

BE ASUR

Post bullying of Boqhui.

the state of the garbage AI in this game
>hey you discovered me across the world
>>declares war 20 turns later

you all suck and this game sucks

when's the workshop being opened

>lost 93 models
That's like 6% of you army, man, sounds pretty dangerous.

Check out my close victory.

They literally look like they're strung out on cocaine.

So what's it like playing with small unit sizes? Sounds strangely fun.

nice game CA

>smol

I don't want to continue with my nascent Skaven campaign until I understand the corruption mechanics and why buildings/techs give bonuses to "untained" and corruption as if corruption isn't desirable

Don't give up bro, we can do it.

I mean, can't you do medium at least?

>Kill 500 enemies in battle
Guess its time for Tyrion to solo the enemy army?

>Gets a mission as High Elves
>"You have to kill an army of Lizardmen on the other side of the world that you're not even in a war against, good luck!"
>Can't teleport

I mean.. why..?

'ay i'm not alone in being behind in rituals all the time

Those bolt throwers are just amazing how much damage they can put out, also amazing how terradons seem to flee the second they're in range of enemy arhcers
What's the thrill of small

How much is the warhammer 1 pirate edition missing compared to the steam one?

It's pretty comfy tbqh. Closer to tt.

On a completely unrelated topic - I noticed Teradon Riders (bolos) dont score many kills but rather do really high hp damage while your other units easily clean up afterwards.

time to remove egyptian

...

just 1 faction I think

Everything and graphics are stuck to minimum

I started them after I had the situation somewhat after control, but I'll be able to chain them with my fragment income.

>and I agree.
with what in the post?
>It was a bad game overall
may I ask why you think this?

BALANCED

I can, but I dont want to.

Are you gonna play Tomb Kings on the Vortex campaign or Mortal Empires when it launches?

With most of what he wrote

I don't know if I will be able to go back to Vortex campaign after Moral Empires. I mean, why?

maybe they'll fuck up hardcore with mortal empires

IIRC they said they won't be part of the vortex so Mortal Empires

so all of that was what made it a bad game? or do you have other things you didn't like?

they said they wouldn't be channeling the vortex but still exist on the vortex campaign

I guess that is a possibility.

...

Where can I find the menu for default unit setup
I want my ranged units to automatically start without skirmish mode on and with guard. I don't want my line becoming a shitstorm cause i forgot to do this for the 100th time.

FOR ZE LADY

Depends on wether the old factions will get major overhauls.

Cute!

What am I supposed to do?

Literally unbeatable!

game settings

cute, CUTE!

>Tomb Kings still not announced

Can't post the .gif because this guy already did it.

Distribute your fucking banner, for one.

I want a harem of witches of khaine.

Well done CA on actually having a hard game for once with organic difficulty not self imposed or just bullshit

>Lizard men
>Coming upon the 4th stage of the ritual
>My empire is surrounded by undead, so much so that undead corruption has made all the land in my empire cause attrition
>If they ever go to war with me, I'll get wiped out

>No trade agreements, struggling to keep a positive income, can barely maintain 3 units in a second army
>The second largest empire surrounded me are Skaven who brutally hate me, spread their corruption to my lands, and send agents to constantly attack me
>We go in and out of war every 10 or so turns, it takes all my money to stave them off until a peace treat is signed

Brainlet here, what do I do

>Araby is only Dwarves/Brettonians in this campaign

Arabs btfo

Calm down friend, this'll be this lords and his army's first battle.

Start the ritual when others are at ewar

FASTER!

>With most of what he wrote
which parts didn't you agree with?

To stomp up the coast and take over Tiranoc and try and confederate Ellyrion (Otherwise will only hold partial provinces)? Or Hold Vauls Anvil as a ritual site and march onto Saphery?

Can someone explain this shit to me

WARNING: End Times spoilers ahead

>be curious as to how high elves get endTimes'd
>Dark elves pour in due to EndTimes bullshittery
>Council crowns Tyrion as the Regent and if they live he can be Phoenix King
>Tyrion by miracle defeats the Witch King, Malekith
>Teclis arrives and saves the Witch King
>Tyrion is the avatar of Khorne
>Malekith is the rightful Phoenix King

Da fuck?

almost killed the egyptian king in battle but he rode away

End Times isn't canon.

>play on easy because I'm bad
>get to the point of boredom because I'm just not autoplaying everything because of my death stacks

Time to get onto normal. I notice that people here play at like twice my pace. I'll see people accomplish way more than I do in 50 turns then I do in 80. Any pointers?

>end times spoilers
oh no, dont spoil me on that
please

are sure you're right about that?

GW hates good factions and makes them be underpowered, lose everything and full of turncoats

>Elves attack Wissenland.jpg

Basically just ignore End Times. Everyone, including Games Workshop, is ignoring End Times. It never happened.

End Times was a mistake.

dumb animeposter

dumb nothingposter

I guess my best chance is storming the walls asap?

End Times is fucking retarded. GW basically decided to shit all over WHFB's lore as their final goodbye to the IP after years of ignoring it in favour of 40k.

The High Elves shit wasn't even the worst of it.

Litania is cute and makes me think of Lithuania another cute thing!

Yes it is, and it will always be even if people keep denying it.

Slut Mum or Errant Offspring for Delf playthrough?
