/twg/ - Total War General

When confederating Brettonian nations I always had more luck if I didn't have any kind of military alliance with them, seems some of my styrength would be added to theirs in confed calculations.

Hey guys I'm a little confused about something. Why does Morathi start with +20 relations with other dark elves? What is she doing to get the other lords to like her more? Is it the same way she increases loyalty of lords near her? Please describe to me in detail what she does to achieve the effects.

Is it worth putting Tyrion on a horse or should he remain on foot?

Grimgor is like a little baby

gimme a rundown on tomb kings

what makes them different from the VC gameplaywise?

karl is busy taking morathi into his breeding chamber

Fixed

Why she's the high priestess of the cult of Khaine of course, silly user.

How hard would be to mod some limits on how many units player or AI can recruit?
I mean for elite, monsters or semi elite units.
Like some base + x unit for special building and some from tech or number of cities etc.
It would not only make game more strategic as you need to decide where your limited elites go but also prevent AI from building 20 cannons in one stack.

Continuing the Darkshards vs Shades question from the last thread. I guess Darkshards are better are skirmishing with other ranged units because they have shields, and they're cheaper, but is there anything else they do better?

Do Orc and Goblin shamans channel the winds of magic, or do they get their power from gork and mork?

Chariots + more monsters and archers

they did it in Rome2, so I assume it can be done.

Their chariots are supposed to be REALLY good. If they're true to form in-game, they will dethrone Surtha Ek as the greatest chariot-based menace on the map. Consider the ramifications of such an event.

more men per unit = more arrows put down-range per volley, plus they don't require the shade building to recruit which means that you can get them far easier as well as from black arks

MOMMY!

Many more units in supporting/specialist roles. Less blobs and line-smashers, and more reliance on synergy between different parts of your army.

guys what is the max level your lord can be? can't
answer find this anywhere else online

Gork and Mork.

MORTAL EMPIRES WHEN RRREEEEEEEEEEEE

in tww2 it's 40, in the original it's 30

>Be Malekith
>Confederate mom
>Get some random shit towns in retarded positions
>Rebels spawn in Unhabitable territory I held because of mom bad planning
>They get the main town
>Next turn they send an envoy
>"Please make peace with us, get this money and confederate us"
>O-ok
>Back to the status quo with a building less but some more money

Post the dumbest shit that has happened in your campaign

>skaven everywhere
>Lizardmen garrisons are annoying as shit
>no money
What do i even do as teclis?

They said in the next couple weeks but I bet its going to be closer to a month, probably a lot of bugs they'll need to fix too

>tfw all I've wanted to do since they announced Norsca was basically peace out with Kislev, bribe the Empire into a NAP then go create an empire in Lustria

months

WELCOME TO LUSTRIA GENTLEMEN

>Update 1 for Warhammer 1 came out a month and 5 days after release
>The first piece of FLC came out with it too
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK

He's sort of tough early on

Try to get a lord with the Ardent trait, then recruit cheap units to defend with, while Teclis goes out murdering all the Skaven

Also send out a lord of hero to ulthuan so you can trade with tyrion and the other helves

>morathi ruining everything
True to lore

REMOVE RATS FROM PREMISES

>ywn be a crazy trillion year old mother
>ywn root for your son to take his place on the throne cause those bastards took it from him
>ywn walk him through whats these urges of his flesh mean and what he can do to solve them
>ywn lead him down the path of debauchery and carnality with all the choices of slave and flesh in the world but he only ever wants it if you're involved
>>ywn test his new parts once he's formed together in his armor
>ywn do all sorts of fucked up things to and in front of slaves, nobles, assassins, soldiers, cabalites, acolytes, cultists, the spirit of aetherion, and on the throne of the phoenix king
>ywn let your son give himself a brother that you eventually kill of for your own amusement

Honestly, they can take their time. I'm beyond grateful for what CA have done with Warhammer. I played the wargame for years but got into it after its true prime. They gave it all new life, the Brets for instance were insane to me. A faction that was neglected for years and years by GW is given a rebirth I never would have expected. Even the narrative, particularly for Skaven in Warhammer 2 is so much better than anything GW ever did or could have come up with.

I'd rather have it out quickly, but I know its gonna be fuckin sweet no matter what.

Warhammer 3 is going to be Ogre Kingdoms and the Eastern Peoples

There is just something about terrible, evil women that really does it for me

not just fake ones

total warhammer is the only good RTS game

>Post the dumbest shit that has happened in your campaign

For the last 80 turns, a skaven rebellion has been sacking one of my towns every turn

It's shitty climate and I regretted settling it, but the rebellion refuses to raze it so instead I have to autoresolve a siege EVERY TURN

>total warhammer is the only good RTS game

I have high hopes hes the Skarsnik campaign of TWW2.

name 42342582 good rts games

Call of Duty
Battlefield
PUBG
Overwatch

HOLA!

They look cooler.

lmao the Hexoatl siege map
>giant forest to hide all your units in
>towers don't even stretch the length of the map allowing for artillery placement
>only missile garrison units are a few javelins with topkek range
and to top it all off the dipshit AI is wasting its Feral Cold ones spawns by summoning them while I'm plinking away at their tower.

Is there any hybrid delf/vampire faction in the lore?
They are both evil knife ears, ive probably even mixed up before.

>the only damage the crossbows took was me regening magic off them
>tfw you hold the line

>rats decide it's a good idea to attack 3 stacks of lizards

Ok

>Malekith wants to be hardcore but his mom won't let him.

>Stegadons smashing through your 6 rows thick spearmen unit like a knife slices through butter

What the fuck, protect the darkshards you shits

Chariots, actual range, monstrous archers, better ingredients, better pizza, settra rules.

Do you think we'll actually get all of the TK units? I really want the Necrosphinx

Nigga you even Kroq Gar?

I eventually do just cause I want him to be faster and don't like that untaken mount staring at me but it's one of the last things I bother with

You try standing in front of a 10 ton triceratops covered in spikes with nothing but a spear asshole!

Is it worth it to keep Kroq on his cold one until the carnosaur mount or should he hoof it instead until then?

Strong Chariots, decent infantry, not mindless, have ranged troops and archers.

Shades or Darksharts?

there was a mod that did this with Longbeards in TWW1 so I imagine it's doable

Karl Franz is happily married with children, he would never touch that elf slut save for the sole purpose of ridding the world of her vile taint.

yeah that's not even difficult

>but also prevent AI from building 20 cannons in one stack.
that's a different problem that's solved easier

I prefer darkshafts

Alright I really need some help here.

I've always been in the middle of playing on hard and very hard. Very hard has been almost impossible and hard seems a little too easy.

Anyway I didn't want to steamroll the game the first thing I did so I rolled Teclis on very hard as my first playthrough. I've basically gotten the entire west coast up to Hexoatl which is about 3 entire provinces. Now here's the problem. The money I'm raking in is basically equal to the army an AI with two settlements can field so I'm incredibly money starved. Unhappiness has been an extreme problem during my expansion and it's becoming more and more apparent now. I've basically got about 11 settlements who are on minus 6-15 happiness constantly at this rate and I just can't expand any further. The AI armies are gathering waystones like crazy and I'm gonna lose simply because I can't go anywhere.

How the hell do you fags play on very hard or above? Is there some retarded trick I'm missing?

Darkshards vs helfs or if you need to save money, shades if you have the money to spare. Go with ones you have buffs for as well

Both. I have 6x Dark Shard and 6x Shades, use lord as tank it works.

So what will the victory conditions for the merged map be? Is it just a matter of conquering x much territory and eliminating certain factions?

FUCK chariots

is khaine khorne?

>xD I am le muscle wizard, I cast le fist xDDD
I hope to god this was unintended

Not exactly, no

autism

still doesn't make her a good fighter

Khaine is the high/dark elf god of murder

that seems pretty boring as fuck

Fucking finally.

Darksharts with shields if you're going to get shot at, shades if you want to kill faster.

Also thanks to whoever came up with "darksharts" because it's all I can hear now thank you you've ruined everything.

MAKE A WEBM

you are welcome

can it be done?

wots all this then

thank you

>grapeshot

YES

FUCK YES!!!! FUCK YES

my potato will fry.
I am just using modified handgunner bullets for this test.

Phoenixes are just garbage. Carpet bombing bird poo sure is cool but it doesn't do that much damage, and you only get them ten of them. They're also tier 4, costs almost twice as much as Great eagles while not having that much better stats. They even got worse damage than the eagles. Sure they got terror on them but since they're tier 4, I'd rather just get dragons.

So how do the lizards play? Do you treat them as a more aggressive hammer and anvil, swamping down the enemy with infantry while the Dinosaurs eat them from behind? How good are their skirmisher units?

the empire even has actual VO files for changing ammo

Awks...

Grimgor gets over 1k AP weapon damage when he's maxed out

>i get ambushed on THEIR turn

Bullshit how does that even work? I moved two stacks on my turn, the strongest one first precisely so i wouldn't get ambushed, i didn't and now they ambushed my weaker stack on their turn.

What is this rat memery?

LOL!
