I just finished Rome 2 recently. Gonna start playing Attila, which faction should I play first?

Huh... interesting...

>that feel when you finally make landfall on Ulthuan after while fighting endless stacks of low elves

It's time to lube up, Tyrion.

WTF I hate Warhammer noW

Western romans of course, your so big how could you fall?

Fuck off, mom!

all those buttmad historyfags

um where is spartan total warrior???

>user score rating
into the trash it goes

Graphs like this make me legitimately angry.

>tfw no qt princess or glade lady slave
>tfw not even a damsel of the grail

*thinks*

>tfw discovered the no light beam mod

Im playing morathi and mazdamundi makes peace with skeggi and right after the beastmen invite skeggi to raid my shit
I thought I could avoid norscan horsestacks if I picked morathi
on top of that malekith confederated someone and captured the ritual currency site from clan karond before I could
fucking norsca and beastmeme stacks arent fun

Grab the faster end turn camera one as well if you haven't already.

What's the difference between a graph and a chart anyway.

The Jutes

Holy fuck, that will be a godsend.

>you either don't watch them move at all or deal with the camera s l o w l y panning over the entire fucking map
How does shit like this get past testing?

LOVE ETERNAL!
Why does she look so angry here?

I've been playing WH2 today for the first time (as High Elves) and there's a lot of weird shit I can't tell if it's a bug or supposed to happen. Like how do you tell which bonuses stack and which don't? For example, buildings which give a + to rank on recruitment don't stack, while character traits which do the same thing do stack. And do public order buildings only work in the ideal climate? I'm getting zero effect from them elsewhere, but I can't see where it says that should happen.

I just got my first TW2 crash 55 hours in.
I don't know if I should be happy that it occurred only so far in or sad that it followed a hard won battle that I'll have to do all over again.

Nice try but it's more then 73%.

No idea, I just meant the misleading presentation of data.

>that it followed a hard won battle that I'll have to do all over again.

This is the quintessential Total War experience, user.

> Defeats vampire count army
> Get Elf-Thing slave

???????

I WANT TO MAKE A HIGH ELF PRINCESS INTO A QUEEN WITH MY FILTHY HUMAN SEED

Now that the dust has settles and the fags are gone are we ready to call warhammer two the best total war to date? or should we wait for the mortal realms FLC?

I think that it uses metacritic.

Could it have something to do with Vamps are not playable in the vanilla game?

>mortal empires still not announced

Does it?

Yuck, no-one wants a second hand elf.

>steam reviews

lol

The best Total War is Shogun 2. This has been known for years.

Medieval 2 is the best Total War
P.S. watch my latest video youtube.com/watch?v=7C3ILt986gg

beggar-askers can't be choosers man-thing

I honestly enjoy Darrens content tbqh and I enjoy TWW. Wish he'd do more reviews though.

...

>Shogun 2 is the last good game they made

Makes sense.

His Stellaris review is his least viewed recent video
NO MORE REVIEWS

>noreasontobeplayedtwice: total war

>p-please watch m-my video!!! I NEED MONEY FOR RENT IM GOING TO BE HOMELESS!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhh Ulthuan

>no blood
>no norsca
>no mortal empires
>AI is worse than ever, units bugging out constantly

>90% rating on Steam

Steam reviews are a meme

Brings back nostalgic memories of 2013 and remembering how disappointed I was in the horrendous new casual character development "card game" system as well as terrible city building rework

What are some non meme reviews I can trust?

>only Paradox game he's played and he likes it a fuckton
>it's the most simple garbage they've ever put out
never trust a Darren review
I liked when he played Attila though.

Probably because she knows that she has a unibrow, but can't trim it in front of a mirror because vampires don't have reflections

>Huge continent
>Even Dwarves and Delfs
>Barely any lore

this guy speaking gives me fucking anxiety
he talks so fast but he can't actually do it and ends up stepping on every word he speaks and running out of breath or some shit.

It's fucking retarded Malekith is the strongest lord.

The Republic aint free. The tree of dignitas and gravitas gotta be littered with the blood of Tyrants. Gaius Julius Caesar (a.k.a. GAY-ASS) is not my dictator. He is tyrant and probably wants to be king as well :DD Mos maiorum and sic semper tyrannis not Tarquinus Supurbus and tyranny ok praise Mars.

VILETIDE RISES

Ha, pleb. If you haven't even played the Lustria spin-off for Mordheim, published in Town Crier magazine, don't even fucking talk to me.

not that retarded
Mazdamundi is the only one who would be stronger

That's not just any guy
That's /ourguy/
(Arch is no longer /ourguy/)

>why don't my opinions reflect everyone else's!?!?!?!

probably because they're your own?

Is it just me that sucks at TW2 economy or are the gold penalties at Very Hard a whole lot harder than they were in TW1?

In TW1, I've won with all factions on Very Hard. In TW2 battles are not much harder but it is hell to maintain even one full-stack of NOTelites, never mind a proper doomstack or two. inb4 go swimming for treasure, I'm getting a lot of nogold or 1,500 gold treasure while having an extra admiral just for that increases my upkeep 1,200+ PER turn.

It's no longer fun to play at VH.

>unibrow
Her eyebrows are barely visible, I think that's just her brow ridge.

If they add new races to the Vortex campaign how will they work if they don't contribute to the vortex rituals?

Post cute skinks

>Tyrion
>Teclis
>Queek Headtaker
>Kroq
>Mazda MX-5
>Morathi
All stronger in the lore.

Mercenaries that can get paid to do the interventions for you.

the same way brettonia, wood elves or beastmen contribute to chaos invasion?

New races aren't involved in the Vortex race, confirmed by CALori in chat during a stream. For the best honestly, since the Vortex turned out to be such a meme.

Treasure hunting definitely isn't worth it past hard. I dread to think what Chaos economy will be like in this game when they're finally added.

Where in Lustria will the Chorfs start?

I don't want to be rude but I don't think you thought about your post a lot

As a lord? None of them really are.

>"You were so magnificent when I found you, the biggest in your litter, and they were all large before you ate them. I raised you, I fed you the best dwarf-meat and man-flesh. And you have become even more magnificent. Such courage. There is none other like you, Queek. You are unnaturally brave. Others think you freakish for leading from the front, not the back. But I do not. I am proud of my Queek."
>Warlord Gnawdwell, Lord of Clan Mors

Cute.

Ordered a Kindle 8 yesterday from Amazon with express shipping that was supposed to arrive today between 18-21 but it hasn't arrived yet. Someone's going to hear about this.

Woops, hand slipped. Accidently posted a cute rat

>when you get stabbed 52
It must have been extremely painful.

Prepare for Belegar's legendary campaign once the combined map goes live. 54545 gold for a single dwarf warrior once you hire another lord.

but I did?
bretons just confederate bunch, kill some greenskins and are done
wood elves sit in their forest and are done
beastmemes just burn everything

and tomb kings will just squat in their graves like good skeletons

When is someone going to make a containment thread for all these hisfags?

It's time to smash this fake news disinfo campaign to discredit newer Total War games

I found the increased upkeep made my campaign more fun because it took longer to reach critical mass

Think real hard about the difference between the chaos invasion and the vortex campaign

GW scales things that the more evil something is the more powerful and successful it is, especially during End Times

Just because I like history doesn't mean I don't like fantasy my friend.

...

FUCKING FOUND IT.

ca didn't actually finish the terradons, there are supposed to be 3 variants and there are 3 referencefiles, but only one set of models, lazy shitters

>all those trade agreements at the beginning of the game
How?

Half those factions start with -30 aversion to Lothern.

What happens when he poops or pees, he looks immobile against the throne

Is that legit ? That's damn cute.

would take Queek more seriously if he was a bit bigger desu

>tfw cheap zombie/skellie stacks will be the new meta

chaos invasion is trying to wreck everything while vortex is nothing but a rat ruse trying to make elves and lizards destroy everything?

fair enough my man, you get so used to the butthurt that eventually you stop considering it's possible to enjoy both.
thanks for not being a cunt

Based on the image I'd guess he got them by offering to join all of their wars.

>mfw Tyrion keeps shreking me during the Destroyer quest

I can't figure this shit out.

Lads what should my dwarf roster look like? I like to have usually:

4x Ironbreakers (to hold the line and launch explosives)
2x Hammerers (flanks to smash up armor)
2x Organ Guns (place them right on top of Ironbreakers with the guns just after the first line to open up on the enemy)
2x Drakes (do the same as organ guns, usually in the centre to scorch inf waves)
2x Stone Throwers (behind the inf block for long range)
2x Quarrellers/Thunderers (behind inf lines if crossbows, guns if armor)
1x Engineer hero guy (to buff the gun line)

icr the rest if there is any

Nigga, all those kingdoms will usually agree to trade with you from turn 1

It's Caledor, Saphery and Tiranoc which will hate you

You can't plop a race down on the map and have them be involved in the vortex campaign like the four main races are without adding special shit.

Chaos invasion is just doom stacks who target the player. You can put a race in there without any special features and it'll be incorporated into the chaos invasion.
