Total War: Warhammer

For discussing tactical and strategy games. What's the difference between tactics and strategy anyways?

Total War: Warhammer

Post by Vergil »

I've been playing this despite being extremely awful at RTS games and originally bouncing off of Warhammer as a franchise pretty hard in the past. I am having a lot of fun with Warhammer II surprisingly but I am playing on easy so most of the challenge has just been from me not knowing how things work. Haven't played as any faction except for Imrik so far since I can't imagine a more Vergil-coded character than a haughty high elf dragon prince :bounce:

Never played it, but AFAIK this series singlehandedly brought Warhammer Fantasy back after they shitcanned it for nu-warhammer(AoS) that everyone hated. GW is publishing material for Warhammer Fantasy under some new line again.

Which makes it cool.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I've been planning a modded Old World+SFO campaign for a while now. As the human male fighter faction of course.

I wish the high elves were called something different though. Not to get too freudian here but I can't hear anything but "*** sore" when they refer to the Asur.

Buy the base game and then you can use CreamAPI to unlock all of them instantly

It's not like a Paradox game thankfully. The only reason to buy a DLC (besides the blood one, which is stupid) is because you want to play as that Lord/faction's extra units. You don't need all the DLC for those factions and units to appear on the map. Any gameplay changes or QoL improvements are just included with patches.

You could also flirt with twinks on twitter and get them to buy DLC for you but that takes a while.

A shame about the Denuvo, but then I've never been big on Fantasy anyway.

I do wish Imrik's start wasn't so difficult. I got backed into a literal corner by orcs my first attempt. Trying to be more aggressive and avoid that happening again but things aren't going as cleanly as last time unfortunately.
Here's how much last game ended up. Basically a turbo stalemate I'm not good enough to get out of.

get grimgor'd

but ye the obsession with putting characters in ******** start positions for 'muh variety' instead of where they logically should be is lame as ****, makes me pretty much only play as the main faction leader and just use the 'confederate defeated legendary lords' mod to make one giga faction with all the boyz in one happy family

I do wish the game had a better map mode where I can see the factions and their territory more clearly and cleanly.

Yes and I am very happy about it, I just bought the Khemri box.

I alwayss wanted to play Fantasy, never had enough money when I was young and when I had it was already on the Horizon that it was to be discontinued.

Restarted my Imrik campaign. Instead of taking out the Dragon Isles immediately I decided to go west and secure the Wolf Lands to hopefully keep the orcs from becoming an unstoppable juggernaut again. The dwarves seem to be doing better anyway so as long as neither of them decide to **** with me I should be clear to go **** up the dark elves now.

I think GW should've never touched the lore of their mainline Fantasy series after the End Times event, because not only Age of Sigmar made the apocalypse totally irrelevant but was also a pretty lame continuation on top of that, like they tried to resurrect their original Fantasy series but it came back as a hideous zombie.

Boredom and curiosity mostly. I'm not very good at these games. To be honest I hate fighting skaven because they can just spawn armies behind me so I usually auto resolve against them and that's largely what I've been fighting so far.

Also, I really don't appreciate this real time strategy war game having random **** *** puzzles. As if I don't feel like a brainlet enough already!
