/twg/ - Total War General

It's like I'm back in Civ 5

>What's a good remedy?
Less cavalry more dragons.

R A T T E D

They aren't anti-large. Thus they aren't anti-cav.

They will mow down and absolutely annihilate any infantry, but don't send them against other cavs or monstrous units.

on the house (you)

>very hard
>campaign turns into public order: the game

this is just silly

>people from a tiny island that's half mountain don't have a strong cavalry tradition, details at 11

also this

>playing on anything lower than very hard
What are you retarded?

Is she giving birth to a litter of rats?

If she was a dark elf spy, why didn't she have kissable pale skin and jet black hair?

I really want to say Lizardmen because I just love dinosaurs, but in the late game it basically turned into full dinosaur meme stacks which ended battles in 2 minutes.

I have to say Wood Elves. The joy of getting 300 kills for each waywatcher in your army is just unmatched. The campaign is the most unique so far and even the pretty vanilla office tree is fun with great bonuses. The tech tree, the outposts, the amber - I love it all. CA outdid themselves with that one

I FUCKING HATE THIS SKAVEN AMBUSH ON ATTACK THING, THEY HAVE LIKE ONE MILLION ARTILLERY PIECES AND JUST BLOW YOUR ARMY TO SHIT

I CAN FUCKING SEE THEM COMING HOW ARE THEY AMBUSHING ME, FUCKING HIGH ELVES NEVER HEARD OF SCOUTS?

What a waste of good High elf wife.

As a Marienburger, wherever I am I must always rape High Elves.

which is why I use a mod that removes the PO malus from difficulty (but nothing else) and the PO bonuses the AI gets

It was a serious question user.

How did she die to pesky little rats?

I can understand if those were Skavenslaves or Clanrats but those are just regular house rats.

START DA WAAAAAAAAAAAGH

>discover coasts as Lothern
>Teclis has lost the isles to a wandering army
>Skeggi dominate the area where Maz is supposed to be
>vampires are conquering Africa again

LOVE ETERNAL!
Because pic related is not total war canon

>settlement under siege
>attack my attackers with my army
>my garrison reinforcements are spawning BEHIND the enemy

what the actual literal FUCK is wrong with the battle map?

One elven realm is unlimited steppe, this is elyria
And what are you talking about they lose vs any archers

Jesus Kroq'gar start is so fucking boring

All you need is a couple of Saurus' to steamroll the continent

sure

>campaign movement +15%

Thats fucking great. Although it will be hell to catch them.

...

yeah but every battle is like 300

Playing Kroq'gar is basically being space marines

Does Nagash rez him again? I swear he was there in the final battle
>vlad killed her father
Why, he was already on his way out

Redpill me on artillery tiers. Rate:

>empire
>dwarfs
>skaven

But its not like 300, I got a full stack of Saurus

Its more like 3000

Skaven
Dwarf
Empire

Mazda isn't any better, his start comes with a free ally

Still not finished my first campaign lads.

84 hours in, well I've done the vortex thing but not the domination.

>FINALLY got to play the second game
>turns out my toaster can't handle it
welp, guess I'm stuck with the first one

Anyone playing WH2 with Steel Faith Overhaul?

Is it fun?

At the moment

God tier:
Skaven

High tier:
Empire

Slightly lower than high tier:
Dorfs

I've also neglected domination so far. It's too tedious

It's local only, like black roads, and therefore fucking useless. Though I do have a mod that makes black roads function province wise

A full stack of sauruses is 1500 to 2000, vs the 3-5k skaven you routinely face

Empire have the most variants
Dwarfs don't have mortars and tanks but have Gyrobombers and Gyrocopters
Skaven at this point is bleh because they don't have most of their artillery units yet

there's nothing to it yet but some HP tweaks

Skaven have the best anti large and anti infantry artillery in the game at the moment

Lightning cannons blow empire and dorf cannons out of the water, and their catapults are better than mortars/rocks and dorf catapults

Nah Nagash doesn't rez him again. For some insane reason Mannfred gets to come back in Age of Sigmar but not Vlad or Isabella. Also Vlad killed Isabella's uncle not her father. Because her uncle wanted to rule Sylvania.

>powercreeped arty
(lol

Wait for the combined world map

Agreed.

>recruit dreadlord with a trait that gives melee attack and charge bonus to his entire army
>gets a name of power to improve and reduce upkeep on hydras and dragons in his army
I see now, I must return to the manner of Lizardmen and simply stampede the enemy.

THE ASUR HAVE TWIUMPHED

Quick questions. Ward save > any other defensive resistances? And when i unlock executioners should i replace my witch elves with them? I already have the black guard in my armies.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WOME

Witch Elves only useful for that taunt

I've had Reavers cycle charge the shit out of units. They've been heroes among their people. They suffer heavy casualties though. If they had more health or armor it'd be great.

DA ETERNAL CWITY

Biggus

Soon

>challenge

>ironbreakers scored 800 zombie kills in siege
why did they have to get rid of formations, this would have been amazing

Nah, the chaos dwarves are never coming out.

(You)

Yo, dinoboys players. How do you deal with Helf guardspam?

Have you tried throwing more dinosaurs at the problem you are facing?

Lots of varied opinions here. Well, yeah I would love to have rocket batteries along with warp canons.

So not only did this guy have 2 of the only like 7 in the world of steam tanks. Hes actually a giant tree. Not sure why a tree is leading the college of pyrotechnics but meh.

man, Tyrion is about to completely lose Ulthuan to Malekith and Morathi, and I am neck deep in rats and zombos so I can't send any soldiers that way to help him out, DELVES are going to be a nightmare to deal with, one they have all of the north and ulthuan

Is it safe to assume that they'll announce 3 a year after 2's release?

Oh, I don't play the lizardmen. I'm just curious.

I beat the Helf armies by having better ranged than them as the Delfs, but my melee always gets shredded by their archers, even my Black Guards and Dark Riders.

I'm just curious how the melee specialists deal with it, as they'll probably be my go-to after my VH Morathi campaign.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Nothing has changed, early greenskin is still suffering on legendary vs dwarfs

HAHAHHAHAHA

HAHAHAAAAAAAHHAHA

Tree Hitler's armoured division does not mess around.

Post yfw this will happen

>play on hard
>add a shitload of big dinosaurs into my army
>regularly roflstomp armies that according to the strength bar are supposed to steamroll my army

How exactly is the enemy supposed to deal with lizardmen?

The combo of dino's that just don't fucking die, and having heroes that have insane amount of damage output which let you take down their lords within a minute is just insane

More dinosaurs. Nothing throws a drawn line out of whack like two Carnosaurs ramming into it.

>Turn 323 on Malekith
>Just researched the last technology
>The very same turn I got for the first time the event that gives you +100% to research rate

High Elf archers and Sea Guard aren't AP to my knowledge, so Stegadons can approach them without taking much damage

Ushoran is the Strigoi leader ingame, same with Wsoran for the Necrarchs.

...

Darkshards are armorpiercing so a well-rounded Dark Elf army with anti large Black Guard would win easily. That's the fastest way to deal with dinos

Monster spam is pretty fucking difficult to deal with unless you have an entire stack of anti large units

Ushoran was killed by goblins, that's why everyone hates the strigoi

>implying I wouldn't be angry at the prospects of fuckign ching chong total war, I'd rather take pure fantasy over that crap

What about the skaven and high elves?

She looks cool but I want melee dreadlord(male)

When you complete the 'Stop X race from claiming the vortex' quest, is does that permanently rek their vortex victory?

or are you just buying yourself time to complete your own victory?

i'm thinking of completely ignoring the vortex and probably won't be able to dominate all the factions before they get to the vortex

...

Bleh. I guess I'll have to start getting into MP soon then. The campaign just seems to be a battle of trying to defeat the enemy with no money rather than actually needing skin.

>does that permanently rek their vortex victory?
yes

This can't be real.

But then again that russian """translation""" got through QA so I wouldn't be surprised.

DA STUNTIES ARE DED, START DA NEW WORLD WAAAGH

Should I give Tyrion a mount so he can get to the opposing lords faster and chase them down too, or are duelists better on foot?

Did you do that with a faction unlocker?

It's real, i've heard it. the war cries in recruitment stance are fucking hilarious

"aaaaa!"

the dark elves do it too. Listen sometime
