our boy Darren made it!

>Darkshards are fine though I still think they shouldn't be AP
They would be literally worthless in that case

>ai in charge of not fucking up skilltrees

>R&I

>Darkshards shouldnt be AP

Then what the fuck would be the point of the Delf roster? They have inferior infantry, inferior lords, inferior monsters

All they got going for them is AP ranged.

Alright, going to do a helf campaign with 2 mods
>No Great Power Penalty
Debating whether or not I should go with this one on or not
>999x higher vortex resource requirements
Basically neutralizes the vortex campaign, preventing everyone (including me) from even getting to the first ritual, which means none of the stupid shit like the bro-tier lizard/helf alliance breaking down because of dumb mechanics

Should I go with the virgin wizard or the chad avatar of khaine?

How should I be building Tyrion/High Elf Lords? I was Lizardmen last campaign w/ Kroak and I specced him mostly red, but felt that I was missing out on the campaign/army buffs from the blue tree.

WHITE LION BOW DRAGON RIDERS (SHIELDED)

blue is a meme
most people go yellow
but it seems most efficient to go red first

no schemes, only straight white elf love

Yellow/Unique trees on LLs, specialized red for 20 stacks on lords

>no mods for pirated version
fuck steam honestly desu lad

ever since i learned you can unlock all DLC for free with a simple ini file i'm not giving them a cent more

Teclis is probably more fun if you're ignoring the vortex
No need to build elf NATO, just fight a good variety of opponents

>Lizardmen last campaign w/ Kroak

he made it into the CA book of grudges

1) campaign movement
2) Redline Archers and Spearmen/Lothern for early lords or Redline Archers Swordmemes/Phoenix Guard for late lords
3) Yellow Skills, unique abilities and mounts
4) When you have gold Chevroned units, get the appropriate Redline buff.
5) Immortalty when it's available (don't want to lose valuable lords)
6) Max out yellow line. Get lightning meme if you need it

where? I don't see his name anywhere

anyhow yeah he still worked with the team almost until launch

well yeah user, a game like warhammer must give all the users DLC data so they can see the DLC faction/content in multiplayer of other people.

It's not like day one dlc on disc meme.

>Dark elves
>inferior

methinks your just shit m8, dark elves are the elves but more killy

Can you even kill lords anymore though? I haven't found an agent who can kill and not just wound or kill an agent

They can still die in battle dummy

Hotfix when? Its been a fucking week and this game has some serious bugs.

>the pirated version should have all the supported features of the paid version

I'm confuse

I think Skaven or Khainite Assassins have a way to kill through skillpoints
Dying in battle is what matters since it's easy to get fucked over if you're trying to defend a ritual

the ark is supposed to be a floating fortress.

All Delf units will lose to their Helf equivalent, this is a fact

Go and test that shit yourself if you don't believe me

Just looking at their base stats makes them seem inferior, but their entire army is balanced around murderous prowess. Activating that is the key to victory.

>blood in a warhammer game
>8 dollars
>lords that should have been in base game
>8 dollars
>factions that should have been in base game
>15 dollars
>on top of a 60 dollar game

yeah nah fuk off

I confederated with mommy, but she's not available in my lord recruitment pool. Is there something special that needs to be done?

If a lord or LL is wounded when you confederate, they're gone forever

tell me more about this ini file user

>>blood in a warhammer game
dollars
stopped reading right there.

I'm not defending that, I'm just saying the ini file thing looks scummy, but its the best way to do it when it comes to DLC, or else you run into not being able to play people with the DLC like games before.

High five Bro.

its called creamapi

i'm not an elitist faggot so i'll save you the trouble of finding it

cs.rin.ru/forum/viewforum.php?f=10

Skinks are cute! CUTE!

The problem is by the time Murderous prowess is activated, most of the delfs are dead

thx pham

>>no mods for pirated version
wat, do they not work after install or something?

Ok. So I start playing as Souther State of Sudenburg.
>thanks faction unlocker
Thanks to kind user I was able fix climate zones for them and for everyone(other than savage orks and some elves because kind user go MIA).

Anyway start is harsh and I do not think that Empire and Brets can push undead shit when they have desert set as yellow climate. I will change two island bret provinces for some better habitable ones from desert.
So my budget(used for colonization and bribes) consist mostly from ship recovery.
>its to OP to not use it. free cash and items, plus some exp
Send some captains on exploration mission - to meet other humans and maybe some friendly other races to trade as I have plenty trade goods.
Other news:
>No Free Company Militia but there are handhunners at last
>no Vortex shit
Ayone interested in rest of the story?

What do you mean?
You can use mods on pirated version(if you have right build). Warham 1 mods do not work until pirates release Norsca build.
Elven Nobles can kill.

you can't access steam workshop if you don't own the game for it
no other mod hosts (((yet)))

Use more shards

>Ayone interested in rest of the story?
yee boi

>delf units will lose to their equivilant

So you're shit, is what you're saying. Dark Elves are built around countering helves, not mashing the same units against. Bleakswords beat spearmen because SWORDS, Darkshards beat archers BECAUSE SHIELDS

Granted, dark shards SHOULD keep AP, because that AP is another delf counter to the helves - their elite infantry. Using a cheap ass tier 1 unit to delete an expensive elite tier 3 heavy infantry is the most unfair and perfectly dark elven thing in the world.

you need to get the black pyramid asap, if the undead get it they get ridiculous bonuses and will begin shitting out armies + corruption (bp gives +2k gold/+25vampiric osmosis if the undead build it)

So I'm trying to launch the game, and Steam goes from "Running" to "Syncing" and then closes without ever bringing up the launch menu.

What the fuck happened and how do I fix it?

i just tried and it downloaded the pack file like normal

OPEN THE DOOR, GET ON THE FLOOR, BREAK AND FLEE FROM THE SAURUS HORDE

Lorelads

How strong is Maleketh and his Mommy? I assume his Mom is pretty weak

his mom created "dark" magic, boy

...
i dont know why i never thought to google a solution for that

mommy and dommy are two of the strongest magic users in the world

Malekith is one of the most powerful beings in the world, and his mom is one of the toppest of mages.

Last Defenders
More like
Last Bellenders
lmao

Anyone else find AI armies with Gutter Runners disgustingly annoying to deal with?

...

Both are two bit hedge wizards compared to ma boi Teclis

Malekith is in the top 10 of fighters and casters, but could be brought down by either Tyrion or Teclis. His strength is drawn from being a good general and dank leader of his nation capable of holding together the many lords of murder, much like Karl Franz and his rebellious Elector Counts (except Franz is a simple human ignorant to the magical arts).
Mommy is a top 5 caster

>open launcher
>"you've played the game, now own the miniatures"
ebin

yes

Ever wonder how much money it would take for someone to do something?

this website looks like the same one i use to download porn hidden behind those premium link websites

Thats because the AI is excellent at micro management

*sells you miniatures from another setting*

incredibly

>Malketh's Mom
>Good Caster

lol Gelt is stronger than her

which is because the AI designers suck at their jobs

>Gelt
No

>getting bullied by mannlet
>good at anything

>humans
>can only master one wind of magic
lmao

Morathi is one of the strongest magic users in the lore, she is equal to Teclis and only the Slann and possibly Nagash are greater.

Malekith is a powerful mage as well, though not quite at the level of the previously mentioned. He makes up for this by being a formidable Melee fighter, able to go toe to toe with the likes of Tyrion and Grimgor, and best them by using his magic as well.

Overall they are two of the most powerful individuals in Warhammer.

are there timetables for the dlc releases? I know the mortal realms campaign is "weeks not months" but what about LLs? Kinda surprised tomb kings still havent even been officially confirmed

They're making fun of Warhammer again lads

>fight gutter runers with DE/LM
>they outrun your cold ones

I mean, think of all the treasures the Tomb Kings have buried.

No, CA is in the habit of not telling us shit
>going to /v/

Why do the Dark Elves Magic Casters call themselves "Hags"

It still means Old Woman in Warhammer world right?

>All the while battles become faster and less strategic for the ADD ridden RTS crowd.
he's right tho

Extremely, especially with the unit collision bug. Its fucking great to see my Horned Ones have gone savage and are just sitting there being shot at.

who cares? why even go to /v/?

The hags aren't casters though.

>Crone Hellebron the Blood Queen of Har Ganeth is one of the most ancient of the Hag Queens and second only to Morathi in Khaine's sight.
>crone
>hag queens
kek

I hope Malus and Hellboron are good Lords.

it generally means something along the lines of "wicked woman". in dark elf society, that's a compliment.

I don't understand why shogun's blood DLC was okay but after rome 2 it wasn't.

Although i agree that $20 for factions are bullshit and CA knows it.

hellebron is guaranteed to be good considering how ugly the current models are

Does Malekith's dick still work?

>Pirate entitlement
>inb4 you say you pirate things for a cause, and not just to save money

im so hyped for witch elf meme stacks with hellebron buffs

yeah but its burnt

if i could steal something and not have any consequences, i will do it with no ragrets

LOVE ETERNAL!
Back when Vlad had good hair

They're elves trying their hardest to be edgy, that's why they still ride unicorns and a faction of them has a heart on their banner.

>game gives me quest for treasure hunting
>decide to do it

>suspicious as fuck
>select the option to attack assuming my forces will deal with them
>instead the frailest being in the fucking universe tries to 1v1 some cunt in a ruin
>wounded for 5 turns on turn 5
What an absolute fucking mong

i still can't believe how shit they made Malekith's voice after that trailer

It's a lore thing. The Dark Elves worship the half of the elven pantheon associated with death and the underworld. In the mystical feminine trinity, the triune goddess is split between Maiden, Matron, and Crone, the Crone being associated with mystical power and the boundaries between life and death. The Dark Elves worship the dieties of death and the underworld. Therefore, their female priestesses and spellcasters are hags and crones. It's all celtic mishmash shit.

you'll grow out of that, probably sometime after you turn 16-17

>Witch Elf Stacks

oh god its going to be madness.

funny part, if you had followed the stranger, they would have led you to 100 ritual currency
