> "Many expedients have been used against them. In Lucania a centurion cut off the trunk of one with his sword. Two soldiers armed from head to foot in a chariot drawn by two horses, also covered with armor, attacked these beasts with lances of great length. They were secured by their armor from the archers on the elephants and avoided the fury of the animals by the swiftness of their horses. Foot soldiers completely armored, with the addition of long iron spikes fixed on their arms, shoulders and helmets, to prevent the elephant from seizing them with his trunk, were also employed against them.
>But among the ancients, the velites usually engaged them. They were young soldiers, lightly armed, active and very expert in throwing their missile weapons on horseback. These troops kept hovering round the elephants continually and killed them with large lances and javelins. Afterwards, the soldiers, as their apprehensions decreased, attacked them in a body and, throwing their javelins together, destroyed them by the multitude of wounds. Slingers with round stones from the fustibalus and sling killed both the men who guided the elephants and the soldiers who fought in the towers on their backs. This was found by experience to be the best and safest expedient. At other times on the approach of these beasts, the soldiers opened their ranks and let them pass through. When they got into the midst of the troops, who surrounded them on all sides, they were captured with their guards unhurt.
>Large balistae, drawn on carriages by two horses or mules, should be placed in the rear of the line, so that when the elephants come within reach they may be transfixed with the darts. The balistae should be larger and the heads of the darts stronger and broader than usual, so that the darts may be thrown farther, with greater force and the wounds be proportioned to the bodies of the beasts.

Three times in a row. Same result.

Tomb Kings skellies are really shit. At least the VC can just keep resurrecting theirs.

HOW
Jonathan Wright
Every faction has boring start locations and i don't enjoy getting end game units right at the start.
Owen Green
It's funny because Kangz don't have that
Camden Baker
Agreed, fuck the Saga and fuck Nagasaki.
Sebastian Russell
let's see how these dead tits will take a sharp steel blade all undead belong in a huge burning bonfire.
Joshua Walker
Elves don't suck your blood.
Kevin Moore
>The immortal tireless warriors of Nehekhara >lose to a bunch of rats that were shat out by a breeder a couple of seasons ago
Henry Nguyen
You are 100% right, getting endgame units at the start is the reason why i never enjoyed the Medieval 2 warhammer mod
Speaking of which, the Tomb king unit cap mechanic is straight up copy pasted from the mod
Wyatt Brown
WHO CALLS?

>690 kills with the Casket of Souls and 249 with a Liche Priest
What mods?
Wyatt Gonzalez
shit tier textures it seems
Brody Richardson
Elves suck pretty much every other kind of bodily fluid though.
Brandon Peterson
The only 1vs1 thing that is truly bothersome is the fact that GW Chosen lose to Swordsmasters.
Jose White
Why would that ruin your enjoyment? It adds a bit of variety to the early game and you still need to research techs and build up your infrastructure in order to recruit more.
David Wright
So does that beard.
Joseph Lopez
You say that like it's a good thing.
Liam Brooks
So what's more more boring right now, Lustria or Ulthuan?
Carson Powell
yep - welcome to my hellish experience for the past 20+ turns

Eli Martinez
chinese fans met with devs and confirmed there will be no magic or superheroes
Brayden Smith
Ulthuan obviously
unless you're invading, in which case it's swagtastic
Carter Martinez
Impressive.
Wyatt Martinez
Ulthuan.
Jonathan Rodriguez
>One campaign I took far enough to invade Ulthuan >Playing von Carstein before the kangz patch >I am the emperor, Karl is my cuck in the grey mountains >Take over Bretonnia and confed Mousillion >War with the Dwarven Reich has led to me owning the entire badlands and southlands as Vlad and Isabella galavanted across the entire map killing dwarves >Finally get to invade Ulthuan, Tyrone is rank 1 >All his stacks are away in Naggaroth >Even after I take Lothern he'd still rather beat up on a weak Malekith than actually save the island he's supposed to defend
I was pretty disappointed. Hilariously though Mommy confederated Malekith and then agreed to be my Vassal after a 100000 dark magic bribe.
I really hate those trails. Med2 did it great by having pretty much no trails, so you had to go close to see the mayhem. Those trails make it look like I'm playing tutorial mode.
Aiden Butler
The black one with the arabic writing.
Adam Lopez
>Projectile trails
Sebastian Adams
Ulthuan They need to put Grom and Sigvald there, maybe even Thanquol (if any Skaven can and is stupid enough to go there it’s him)
Sebastian Jackson

Where do you see the cooldown on awakening new dynasties using canopic jars and dosh? I have more than enough of both but the option is just greyed out with no indication of when I can use it again.

Never, he's ded.

Give me screenshots of some orcs please! There need to be more orcs in these threads!
>Need mods to flesh out shit CA skimmed over in WH >They still haven't released the mod manager from pre-release
Jonathan Reed
Its rat cumbacket. Post real ork.
Luke Brown
Empire = other than Karl, where should the other 3 start? I'm not sure if Sudenburg is available on the Mortal Empires map and if the New World Colonies in Lustria is associated with the Empire Bretonnia = they all have different starting locations Dorfs = Ungrim should be at Karak Kadrin and Grombrindal should start somewhere else VC = lore wise there's nothing much they can do, they're stuck in Sylvania and that's alright Orkz = they all have different starting locations Beastmen = haven't played them but it looks to me they all have different start positions Welves = like VC they're pretty much stuck to their treehugging village
Norsca, Helves, Lizardmen, Delves, Rats and Kangz all have different start positions
When Araby shows up they'll take the northwestern part currently owned by Bretonnian and Dorf shits
Alexander Green
Funny. My own buddy at CA told me that the fourth Skaven leader will be an OC female chieftain who fights against the oppression of the council of thirteen. Her campaign goal is to free her kin from the breeding pits.
Aiden Morris
Volkmar could work in Stirland, mostly to get him against VC early (and Sylvania is considered part of Stirland)
Evan Howard
Why sigvald
Bentley Hernandez
Helves will get Alarielle and Alith Anar and only because they have units associated with them
I can even see Eltharion or Imrik as FLC
Mason Ramirez
He invaded Ulthuan once
Luis Jones
Fucking Andrzej has a way with words. My imam was named Imran for fucks sake.
Cameron Stewart
Well good luck with that, given that all skaven females are disgusting fat pigs only laying around to get fucked
Adrian Nelson
>Medieval 2 warhammer mod Which one, the original russian CoW mod, or the western made Botet one? Because I'm playing the latter right now and the factions I tried so far definitely don't start with endgame units.
Brody Cooper
Can artillery take substantial damage from auto-resolve? Lost like 3 grand cannons and 2 rocket batteries when the odds were heavily in my favor recently which doesn't seem normal.
Bentley Edwards
Thank you Grace
Jackson Phillips
Norway
Angel Bell
WTF? Why are you speading lies? I called Grace to make sure if this was true, and she told me its bullshit. She also said that her OC was greenlit to be released as DLC. A young woman from Empire, with a twisted sense of humour and superior intellect, gets possesed by Sigmar himself after she got jailed fighting for equality on the streets of Nuln.
Colton Torres
pls respond
It says I don't have all the necessary resource but both the coin and the jar are ticked.

Give pls

Tbqh the Elves vs Elves DLC will probably be Hellebron and Tyrion’s waifu

Hello, its me Mark from Creative Assembly. Just wanted to say that one of these is actually true
Christopher Campbell
What the fuck happened in the previous thread while I was out, user? I thought I told you to keep an eye on it. All those deleted posts.
Jayden Hernandez
Thanks for clearing that up mark.
Justin Williams
crack when?
Aiden Mitchell
THINK OF A UNIQUE NAVAL MECHANIC FOR EACH WARHAM FACTION, GO.
Dylan Gray
Right after the Norsca crack.

Just buy the base game, it cost me 25 euros (limited edition boxset in sale). You can access all the DLCs with creamapi for free in 3 minutes
Owen Anderson
There will be no araby, cucks.
Noah Collins
Are you a poorfag or just really cheap? It's less than twenty bucks for dozens of hours of entertainment.
Oliver Clark
KISLEV when
Landon Kelly
I hope so, because it would be one hell of a waste of an army spot. I like that they add the lore to relevant factions like Bretonnia and Kangz, but it doesn't mean they're planning to put them in.
Again, at least I hope so. I'd rather take a proper goblin faction with netters and proper fanatics amongst other units, rather than a mere fluff faction.
Nolan James
Boss please it’s just copy pasting Atilla textures for this “Hung” faction
Gabriel Campbell
tomorrow
Wyatt Bell
Next paid faction will be for Lustria. Africa is already overpopulated by 4 lords. And then Court of Everqueen also as paid dlc.
