wiegieman posted:And they should be putting neccromancer buildings in every province, both for money and research rate. Similar logic for vampire buildings, to get to both you'll need a rank four city, so use your minor towns for growth. Use multiple agents to lower construction cost to 0, and stack lots of of them in high base income provinces (like Drakenhof with its gold mine) to get accelerating returns. How are you getting construction cost to 0? I thought the only thing that stacked was the income increase. I've tried the multiple agents and they just override each other.

I love how the draw message is "The one one who won here was the blood god." which I guess is better than "Thanks for hiding your units all around the map and NEVER ENGAGING."

Onmi posted:Watching those tactics videos has really helped on small scale engagements. Honestly large scale ones too. Using a screening line to set up flanks when outnumbered and outgunned isn't my usual tactic, but I've managed to win encounters I shouldn't have with unit compositions of 2 Swordsmen and 3 Spearmen. Can you link said videos?

However clear the tooltips make it, i'm not sure it's fair to say "haha idiots" at players who thought that building the city structure with walls for an icon would give their city walls.

Yes, it's true, an icon of a portcullis in no way implies the existence of some sort of fortification? I mean we're talking about players who are new/oblivious enough that they haven't read and understood the tooltips for the minor settlement defensive chain, here, not rocket surgeons.

I have yet to see an ally chase down an enemy army and kill it. They follow for two turns until it's technically not inside the border and then go "welp, not my problem anymore" Also why does every faction i confederate have an economy that would bring it to the ditty bout my clitty fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jul 13, 2016 |

Ilustforponydeath posted:I have yet to see an ally chase down an enemy army and kill it.

Every faction gets something like 2500 money for free, which means determines how much of a military it develops. If two factions merge however, that money disappears but you still pay upkeep on the new armies. Add on the fact that additional generals grow your upkeep in percentage terms, and boom, you have a cashflow crisis.

So if I have a high enough tier greenskin army can I forego cavalry in favor of monstrous units like arachnaroks or giants? I really don't want to drop my artillery corps or my ten Frontline infantry units. Current grimgor army is four black orcs, six big'uns, three arrer boys, one giant, one boar boy, the doom diver and two rock lobbers.

I'm curious what their starting area will be. Either way, I'm hyped! The dead Imperial soldiers who didnt even get to their feet before they were slain in the video seems especially befitting of the Beastmen tactics. Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Jul 13, 2016 |

I've got no doubt the DLC will be worth the asking price, it's just more of a philosophical thing. What about someone that wants to grab Total Warhammer before the release of Total Warhammer 2: Electric Boogaloo? Are there going to be a half-dozen DLCs they'll need to grab to be "content complete"? It just made more sense for Wood Elves, Beastmen, and Bretonnia to come as a single unit.

Looks like the faction Leader is Khazrak One Eye, ambush specialist. From the source of the leak, here's some (unconfirmed) additional info: quote:Unfortunately I can't link the source because they remove the post (maybe someone publish before the Time), Like this trailer here, Bestmen is comming 28 july. So pretty much campaign pack confirmed. No indication of Wulfhart though, sadness. Also Outriders are pretty cool in my book, they basically have equal DPS to a squad of handgunners with better positioning. I don't use them much outside of Gelt starts just because I'm lazy and ranged cav is micro intensive.

You can either get stuff as it comes in twelve different packs for a combined cost of like $180, or wait a few years and get the whole shebang in one click for the original $60 or less. Welcome to 2016 and/or Obama's America.

Eh, they have two huge expansions planned to cover that sort of thing. Releasing small DLC packs to keep up interests and revenue between big releases makes more sense for them than some kinda of DLC every 6-12 months system.

The omission of blood in that video was kinda funny. Just gonna behead these dudes and place their conveniently full-face helmeted heads on these pikes. Oh wait, this one has an open-faced helmet. We bloodthirsty murderous beat monsters don't want to be obscene here, so let's just stick the helmet itself on the pike. Now excuse me while I repeatedly lay into this fallen empire soldier's back with my Nerf™ battle axe.
