History information: totalwar.com/blog/what-the-teams-are-working-on-07-06-17 totalwar.com/blog/a-total-war-saga-announce-blog 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): drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9AaipzJB6FeWk5KRy1UVXVpMTg
Last thread Screenshot sharing and campaign posting encouraged!
So.. are there no spear/shield/pike formations like in Rome in this game? Or am I just not seeing it?

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
Parker James
B-but it's got cool monsters and colorful magic explosions!
Luis Lee
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.
Angel Lewis
I hate that fat frog fucker.
Jack Sanders
It's been 4 days now.
Can we have the fucking workshop back? I need mods in my life.

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

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.

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
Hunter Brooks
How much is the warhammer 1 pirate edition missing compared to the steam one?
James Butler
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.
>norscan raids from the east >norscan raids from the north >pirate raids from the south >dark elf raids from the west >2-3 rebellions at any moment >just ritual bro xD I started them after I had the situation somewhat after control, but I'll be able to chain them with my fragment income.

BALANCED
I can, but I dont want to.
Brayden Rodriguez
Are you gonna play Tomb Kings on the Vortex campaign or Mortal Empires when it launches?
Luis Wilson
With most of what he wrote
Brandon Anderson
I don't know if I will be able to go back to Vortex campaign after Moral Empires. I mean, why?
Michael Sanders
maybe they'll fuck up hardcore with mortal empires
Noah Barnes
IIRC they said they won't be part of the vortex so Mortal Empires
Joshua Myers
so all of that was what made it a bad game? or do you have other things you didn't like?
Asher James
they said they wouldn't be channeling the vortex but still exist on the vortex campaign
John Howard
I guess that is a possibility.
Grayson Walker

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.

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

End Times isn't canon.
Chase Cruz
>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?
Leo Gray
>end times spoilers oh no, dont spoil me on that please
Gabriel Mitchell
are sure you're right about that?

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

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.
