Thats what mods are for, user.
But also you can just make different armies depending on what you skill on their lord. Sure you can pump out meme armies with 19 Giants but if you are able to do that I would just consider starting a new campaign.

woah.....

>20/20 vision at night
Truly, the most comprehensive CA game

Biggest disappointment would be that there are still no battle speeches like in the older games, except for the missions.

Other than that it is a solid game in my book, especially if you have a buddy to play modded COOP with.

He says faction units which is true spearmanii nigger.

Queek

Depends on the faction you have: Necromancy as in acquiring high tier units instantly as long as there are enough bodies on the battlefield aka sacrificing your 20 man zombie stack, slave based economy/black arcs, item crafting, Helve ‘force diplomacy’, Tomb Kangz mechanics with having to find books of Nagash or spend jars to awaken more armies and so on. So yea pretty fucking diverse.
Fucking historylets have to cope this hard when faced with best Total War game in franchise.

I love paying for DLC.

Or just pirate.

>Shit loading times

How about the waaagh, the grudges, the free units of the tomb kings, the corruption, the slaves and the blood sacrifice, the pirate coves and the under cities, the engineer workshop, the winds of magic etc etc you dumb cunt

Pros: Diverse factions/units and good battles.
Cons: Dumbed down overworld map compared to previous titles.

lets talk about Queek Headtaker

which one is better, the first or the second?

Not really as you have to basically sacrifice enough bodies so that necromancy can be used. Usually you want 2000 or more casualties so the marker can appear on the map. Although now that they made the zombies free I guess there’s no extra upkeep cost to take into account. Still not as broken as free Tomb King units and armies.

The second one comes with the first one as dlc

That means every total war has this problem. The issue is because you spam one elite unit. There are enough high tier units to have a strong diverse army.

I can't do it, i just can't.
I have spent about 170 hours in twwh2 and i spent about 10 hours playing different factions that aren't lizardmen, none of the other factions even come close to bieng as perfect as the lizardmen are, i mean i tried the furthest I've gotten was with that queen bitch of the high elves but they just aren't as fun as lizardmen.
And now that we have Lord Kroak and Tehenhaiun it becomes even harder to play othet factions.

Why is playing empire such a blast?
My Karl campaign is being ultra fun being the not only the emperor of mankind but also protecting the rest of the cities of men and order from dangers such as the green tide which absolutely annihilitaed the dwarfs. Saving Karak Kadrin as the last survivora of the dwarfs and helping them expand.

Making alliances with the High Elves to keep chaos at bay from the sea and with the Wood Elves to keep the orcs and the vampirates in check. Also the wood elves have started expanding as crazy.

PRINCE AND EMPEROR

Because that's the draw of Warhammer.

AoS missed the point entirely, Warhammer about a alternate reality Holy Roman Empire overcoming indescribable horrors with grit, faith, and gunpowder.
Not Space marines fighting Spiky Warriors in a infinite bland world.

great series but fucking hell is mortal empires fucked at this point and it gets worse every patch, it takes so long to between turns and vortex is garbage unless its vampirates or TK

What other faction has aztec lizardmen riding dinosaurs?
Checkmate atheists
You are right about mortal empires, even with sn SSD it takes about 3-5 minutes to get through a turn.
Assuming they are adding Wh3 to mortal empires aswell which they probably will, i am dreading the time it takes to do a single turn in that game.

A vast array of factions which all play differently. I'm primarily a Skaven player but started a Norsca campaign, having loads of fun with them.

yikes

when will these games get a good soundtrack?
some nice pieces in the menus and sometimes world map, but all the combat pieces are boring

vampire counts battle music is kino

1: parody is legally defensible in copyright laws.

2: lawyers are generally successful people. none of them are going to bury themselves eyedeep enough in a nerdshit game to ever notice such a cutscene

Its fantasy, so it can be fun and interesting without the limitations of two factions fielding extremely similar units. I like Shogun 2, but holy fuck the factions and units in that game are boring as hell. Everything is start position flavor and a bit of campaign/lord buffs.

3K seems to have a little bit of unique units for some factions, I think the Bandit girl gets some duel wielding axe people that other factions don't. 3K just seems to overhaul the campaign diplomacy and spy/hero mechanics to an extreme over previous games. A shared spy pool and building relations with specific spies seems like something that should have happened long ago.

Norsca is a really fun campaign because you can just hunt down lords and force the faction to confederate. You can take awhole providence so fast if you just headhunt a bit.

Why use death globes at all?

Which faction are you playing? Most factions can’t do combined arms all that well.

>I hop we'll get cool lord and heroes duel mechanic
It has already been seen that the mechanic is retarded in Three Kingdoms. It would be even more so in TWW given the even more radical differences between lords.

You don't even need a full SSD. Even a Hybrid drive does wonders for it.

Blame GW for demanding their trademark is separated from CA's.

Pretty much ctrl-v'd from Attila though.
WHIII will come with 3K's diplomacy mechanics and will be retroactively applied to II/1.

I'd pay CA money if they never added naval combat to TW Warhammer.

>Most factions can’t do combined arms all that well.
That's his and the person he's replying to's point.

There is a mod for that already. Not perfect but it works.

>it takes about 3-5 minutes to get through a turn.
I keep hearing this from people. What processors are you people running since mine only takes maybe 20 seconds at most.

Why the fuck are warlock engineers so damn strong?

With all the even crazier shit that the factions have in their navies it would actually be fun naval combat for once.

Unlimited Firepower

20-30 seconds here. People be running the game on toasters.

Vampire Coast would have been even more kino if we had Naval combat.

Waste of resources. I'd rather have more factions and better campaign and battle systems.

That is what I figured. I have a Hybrid drive and an i7. Only the initial load is about 1-2 minutes and everything after that is about 10 seconds or less.

I9 9900
Granted any faction i don't see it goes through rather quickly,

It takes a bit more on mortal empire, probably closer to 40 seconds. That's like 1 hour of watching turns on a 100 turns campaign.

Quite literally only the 2nd last one was some suspect bullshit since she was an OC donutsteel creation.

Death globes are very strong versus infantry in melee due to AoE and being able to lob over your own units. I find rattling gunners to be much better against large units instead of infantry. Death globes aren't completely useless during castle battles and can kill infantry on the walls whereas gunners cannot.

Proofs?

Extreme faction variety for replayability, anime tier lords with a bit of RPG elements, magic to increase tactical possibilities even further, useful agents that can be used to great effect in battle if necessary.

No naval battles, shit sieges and overall simplified economy and diplomacy are a negative but CA nailed the core aspects so they could get away with it.

They usually add a little something for GW's yearly event but I expect nothing

DX11 i have constant 60 on High/medium settings but i cant even use 2X antialiasing without it dropping to 45-50 and FXAA looks like garbage.

Hopefully they drop denuvo after they release the last DLC. game has been cracked ages ago.

This. All new TW games are casualized as fuck, but this was too much.

but don't have 1v1 animations for any other big monsters (including other giants, they attack each other's ankles instead)

Nah, they do the shoulder charge thing for other giants as well.

I have been waiting for all the content for the first game to stop coming out so i can finally buy everything in one go, and they are still doing it. Should i just bite the bullet and do it anyway? The fucks won't stop

It's going to be three games that join together eventually, you're going to be waiting quite a while for "everything" to come out.

>I have been waiting for all the content for the first game to stop coming out so i can finally buy everything in one go, and they are still doing it.
No, they're not. The first game stopped getting content a long time ago.

I love this game so much, can't get enough of the campaign I started with a friend.
My only problems with TWWH2 are:

>Only 2 player Campaign coop
>Allies nearby is worse than enemies, since they will steal any of your cities that happens to get razed, and sniper settlements you need to complete provinces

They announced they are not doing any more race packs, only Lords from here on out.
That being said, you really don't need the faction DLCs until you're actually going to play that faction. If you don't play them, there is no point in the DLC.

The lord packs include new units for their races, so those are a bit better to get if you want to play any of the WH2 base races.

>They announced they are not doing any more race packs, only Lords from here on out.
Hoping for Thanquol before WH3.

Wouldn't work. A skeleton spy/hero going into the Empire's ranks totally wouldn't be suspicious. The closest you could get is within your own race having a combined hero pool with the other factions of your face, and being able to do stuff within that. The problem is there are so few of some races that it might end up being pointless. Plus the ME map is squished to hell.

Why did they go away from the lighting of warhammer 1 and make a over-bloomed, washed out piece of crap that is warhammer 2?

Attached: 20190422234545_1.jpg (1920x1080, 534K)

That would be cool. Give him a quest battle with Gotrek and Felix as really strong heroes.

Naval battles have been shit in every single game, and Sieges have been shit in every single game but its probably tied for worst between Shogun 2 and Total Warhammer series.

Sieges have ALWAYS been artillery spam and walk through holes.

He'll probably come in the same way that Grombrindal came, GW collab to try and get you into their stores

Fucking TWW3 trailer when? Also any speculation on what the races will be? I'm guessing Ogres, Chorfs, Chaos Demons, and one other, but it seems like the trend is for each base game to have 2 "good" factions and 2 "bad" factions. I know there's only like three reasonable factions left anyway, and who knows what TWW3's DLC will be (Maybe Araby, Cathay, Nippon, Kislev but they seem so similar to Empire), but really I just want the trilogy to come out so I have the best successor to WFB all in one place. Sucks to have just started getting into it like a year and a half before Endtimes started.

Why do fantashitters try to justify warhammer's shittyness by lying? Naval battles were fine in empire, napoleon and Shogun 2, Sieges were good in patched Rome 2 and Attila

TWW is a step backwards in every aspect, it offers less and what it offers is worse than its predecessors.

Attila honestly has the best sieges in the series. I did like shoguns as well, but they were also too easy to defend against the AI.

Attached: small castle siege fight.jpg (1920x1080, 790K)

Cathay God willing.

Sieges I'll give you, but naval was never anything more than half baked and the numbers do show that most auto resolved their way through them rather than play them.

I had two rank 9 peasant units in my final battle against Chaos ;^)

Attached: 1556289330033.png (640x476, 146K)

Most are autoresolved because the player can't afford navies most of the time, so it's your one ship against the full fleet, in the case of shogun 2 probably a trade ship

There are empire and napoleon replays of naval battles with millions of views on youtube, name one warhammer battle replay with more than a million view?

>were fine
Fine isn't worth investing the development time into when most people auto resolve that dogshit anyways. Warhammer sieges are undoubtedly shit but what makes the previous games that I spent time in not also dogshit in your opinion? Its always the same, the AI never attacks a settlement and does a siegebattle, your always better off using artillery to weaken the army/structural integrity and roll over the enemy afterwards.

Cathay and Nippon would be cool but I doubt they'll have non-armybook faction as the base factions for WH3.
I suspect Kislev as the other good faction.

Cathay and Nippon might be DLC.

Alright empire gets a pass too.

What would even be left after that, assuming they include everything?

>niche

MUH EUROPE

Ogres/Chorfs/Daemons is a safe bet, Kislev and Dogs of War have a good chance at being the "good" faction. Something like Cathay would be crazy and I wouldn't blame CA for wanting to move onto other things once the obvious factions have been put in, but who knows. Maybe they'll get really into it and make it an end times expansion with Nagash making an appearance and some of the end times units also appearing for other races. I wonder if they'll try something different and move onto 40k afterwards, since they've clearly found an audience for non historical total wars.

>Other good faction
Which is the first? I don't know Warhammer lore too well but Ogres hardly seem good, though I guess when the other two are both Chaos heavy it's only good by association.

Naval battles wouldn't work in WH.
Firstly, not all factions have half decent navys. Look at Lizardmen and Beastmen. They lack lore for boats so much that Lizardmen sail in giant stone rectangles and beastmen just hop on the back of a big whale.

It would also mean at least half a dozen more units for each faction, and they would be more difficult ones to make than most other units (easier to make new armor for your person model than an entirely new ship). Adding these would have to mean fewer ground units, which isn't a trade off worth making considering how rare naval battles are (and thus you can't invest in boats and autoresolve, like the older TW games that had navy battles).

It's just not feasable with the amount of factions and their diversity.

Ogres are "good". They love to trade, so they are greedy and kinda evil in that regard, but they are against Chaos.

I forgot they also have that god they sacrifice shit to, but again it's not a chaos god so it's all gravy.

Ogre morality can safely be summarized as hungry.

I've done this last campaign for like 30 hours without a single crash.

The DLC is really heavy, granted, but since you don't need it at all unless you're playing the associated races it's not hard to ignore.

Vampires also got tech tree updated, 0 upkeep Zombies and Skellies which are a game changer. The new Vampire lords also have new thematic skill trees

You'll get plenty of Lordpacks though

I remember laughing at people making "CA should add Bloodline lords and human auxiliaries" posts, so I was pretty shocked that they actually fucking did it. Shouldn't have surprised me that much with their boner for VC, but the levies were still disappointing.

That only really holds true for shogun 2 though, in Napoleon and empire, where fleets were a bigger deal, people still mostly autoresolved them.
Not many people care for age of sail naval battles compared to fighting on the ground and those that do care will find other outlets that aren't half arsed.

I feel like with the lessons they learned from the first game, they really polished gun powder line warfare by FotS, so empire 2 would be awesome.

Elf troop armor is made to look fancy and intimidating rather than actually be protective.

That's because ToB was just a shitty Atilla reskin and Chink TW doesn't look all that great to me since I hate the setting and chinks in general. Trust me, if they manage to make Medieval 3 and actually make it a a good game you'll see the "discussion" pivot back to history real quick.

>People asking for better diplomacy
>Hating on naval combat
Are you fuckers mentally handicapped or what? Why the fucking hell is diplomacy a thing in a warhammer game to begin with? Since when do dwarfs talk with orks and goblins, why the fucking hell would lizardmen talk with skaven or vampires or why the goddamned Jesus fucking Christ would alliances be done bettween factions at all beyond the most basic of shits? Diplomacy should be a thing inside each faction, not between them.
And are you fuckers hating on big boats the size of cities or boats with a single castle sized cannon, or tentacles or buildt on top of gigantic sea dragons?

FUCK YOU.

Just pirate for now and buy the full game at $30 in a couple years. No reason to pay like $200 total buying them as they come.

Diplomacy features are good from a pure gameplay standpoint and aren't that hard to implement, naval is something that should come second to land and land isn't even close to being finished yet

Well fuck. Which one do I get then?

>no speeches aside from quest battles

And they are phasing out quest battles because of retards on reddit.
It added so much character to the lords.

I dunno, they felt pretty tacked on to me, like a half measure.
Either they should whole arse it and make a whole quest chain that takes into account your starting location or they should remove it and put those charlemagnes towards fixing sieges.

Imagine designing a stealth faction that spreads corruption on the campaign map

>I've never played the tabletop game

Fucking Aranessa Saltspite tho

Aranessa is mostly okay, with the exception that her leading an army of zombies doesn't really mesh with her character. If she was embraced as a vampire and had lines about grudgingly working with the undead, then it would be better. That, and her character model looking like a tranny instead of the qt fish girl from the books are the only complaints I have really.
The real issue is the fucking fat opera ghost, who didn't even exist until CA made her up.

[Doubt]
GW is literally too dumb to live. The only reason GW gave out the fantasy license was because it was killed off. GW really think that fantasy vidya would have "cannibalized" sales of tabletop... Thankfully, this means they won't license out Smegmar until they kill it off.

They al;ready licensed adaptation of AoS boardgame

Also ex-relic devs are making an AoS game. Most likely Dawn of Sigmar since they said it's a genre they are familiar with.

40k wouldn't translate well to a total war type of game. It's much more focused on smaller, tactical group and objectives. I mean fielding a full company of space marines is almost unheard of, yet you'd need that shit for a Total War game. Just give me Space Marine 2.[/spoiler

Who cares about 40k since it's became generic sci-fi?
That's why he talking about Wargame

I 100% agree, thats why I said Wargame, as in Wargame:Airland Battle or even Steel Division.

Every second they waste on naval combat is a second not spent making 3 into a better game.

Have GW even thought about how to address this? The quality is just going to continue to improve until it's indistinguishable from the real thing for pennies on the dollar.

They aren't just making them in CAD, they sculpting in CAD (which isn't bad by default, only in GW hands)

Cool.
I'm gonna be honest I barely care for the thing I just like reading the small tidbits about the lore from Yea Forums

I wish the orc pirate rogue army would have a pirate hat, an eyepatch and a fake leg.

None of those army books are canon.

>tfw playing a Beastman campaign

The actual battles are fun and I love the monster theme of the army, but the overworld stuff is not that great. Are Orks like this too?

fucking disgusting.

yes

Well yeah, you can't do a full combined arms army with only 20 units, you just don't get enough of what you need with that. You have to sacrifice something.

Orcs are shit at both

Well, to be honest a pretty awesome can be made in CAD, but you have to hire a real people to design them, not Anglo-Pakis hybrids

I love Beastmen's campaign. The whole hit 'n run, hide until you lose their attention.
Where Beastmen lose me is their roster. The main frontline is too samey, the cav is boring as hell.

Has this update broken anyone else's ability to download mods through the Workshop? I can still get mods to run just fine using Kaedrin's mod manager but now whenever I try and download or update a mod from the Workshop it hangs on pic related for a minute before shutting off the download by itself, does anyone know of any way to get around it? I've already completely reinstalled the game but it's still happening, to say that I'm getting frustrated it would be an understatement.
