I've always been able to dig one up for other total war games but I'm drawing a blank here. http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Total_War_WARHAMMER_Specs Just kinda compare the values of things from low to high. If there's anything in particular you don't understand, ask and I'll explain what it does. SSAO and unit size are probably the most costly of the settings.

On the graphics and setting front, my comp has the minimum requirements to play this game. I have 4 Gig of RAM. A buddy is installing more so I'll have 16 Gig. Right now I pretty much everything on low, unit sizes normal. When I get more RAM, what would be the options to increase? Unit size? Graphic details?

I like having a huge unit size because it looks more  although it hilariously has some effects on the way mechanics play out, like spells (did they patch that?)I mean you'll have to play with it and see what you feel is best, its all a trade off. I usually turn unit size and graphics for the most part as high as I can, but I leave off SSAO and keep shadows to low or medium, because I think that's what matters more. Also wanna maintain a high frame rate.

Zaphod42 posted:I like having a huge unit size because it looks more Same here -- unit size is more RAWWRRR so it gets cranked, but realisticall you're better off with the normal settings for unit size and high graphics etc. I think Unit Size probably is the most demanding feature to crank, not just in terms of memory but also CPU/GPU. For a memory upgrade I'd set higher texture resolutions but keep unit size relatively moderate.

I always thought the main appeal of Total War as a series was being able to play out huge battles that fit as many individual soldiers in as possible, with everything else being secondary. So playing on anything other than the biggest unit sizes allowed by my hardware is basically unthinkable to me. The strategizing is nice and all but there's plenty of strategy games out there, nothing else offers the spectacle of TW battles.

So no one answered me, do bait ambushes work? like stack a weak army ontop of an ambusher? Does it go into ambush style battle or just back ups?

TipsyMcStagger posted:So no one answered me, do bait ambushes work? like stack a weak army ontop of an ambusher? If an AI army walks into the Zone of Control (the red highlighted circle) of your ambush stance army one of two things happens, either A) ambush successful and you get a prompt to either initiate the ambush (with any nearby reinforcing armies joining as usual) or decline the attack and they will continue moving on their way or B) ambush fails and the enemy army is attacking your army regularly with the default options available. If they attack your non-ambush stack your ambush stack can reinforce it normally if it is in range AI tend to go after bait stacks when they cant detect the ambush but will often detect it while running up so be prepared to either fight or run away regardless

Even a whiffed ambush is useful, since the enemy army will have expended some movement getting to their target. You'll need to beat out whatever movement they possibly may take after spotting your ambushing army, and if they take a retreat on your turn when you go to engage them.

Here's the first set of matches I was sent between Yukitsu and Asmodai_00.

poo poo, the auto-resolve nerf mods haven't been updated in a while. I only just noticed now. EDIT: New annoying bullshit: gently caress streams and coastal landings. Super loving unwieldy in how they take like 90% movement points to cross/do, and makes chasing Chaos AI even more loving annoying. toasterwarrior fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Aug 13, 2016 |

Of the factions in the game right now, fluff wise there aren't too many line units that could be added (sisters of sigmar, etc). There's definitely room to grow when it comes to heroes and legendary lords though, it's ridiculous that we didn't get the good carsteins day one

Finally had time to sit down and finish off the Beastmen campaign. I think they have a harder start than many because they're quite fragile and money is tight, but once you get maybe 10-20 turns in and get rolling they're a ton of fun. Cygors are amazingly accurate and absolutely annihilate whatever they hit, and the Khazrak + Gorebull + Minotaurs charge is amazing as things get tossed here there and everywhere. The Steam achievement is bugged though - mine dinged the VH/Legendary difficulty one and not the standard "win a campaign" even though I was on Hard.

So I think I'm finally starting to wrap up my Greenskin's campaign... On turn 160ish right now ( ), but it's my first play-through so I guess that's not too bad. I am really liking using Trolls to harass backline units, that's a fun strategy. Any suggestions on what I should play next if I like that type of gameplay?

Try Beastmen, everything they have is fast enough to just run into the backline, and a lot of it is really strong too.

Internet Explorer posted:So I think I'm finally starting to wrap up my Greenskin's campaign... On turn 160ish right now ( As my post above yours suggests I've had a ton of fun playing Beastmen recently. They're like Greenskins turned way up - even more fragile defensively, even more powerful offensively. Minotaurs are everything Trolls wish they were. Alternatively, do a complete 180 and play Dwarfs.

Sorry if this is answered somewhere and I didn't see it. Is there a way to see exactly why one of your heroes can't perform an assassination? For context, I'm vamping it up, and my banshee with a decent level can't assassinate a same-similar level hero despite having Assassin maxed out. The tooltip only tells me the largest malus (-30% chance) is "Your hero's effects" but I cannot figure out why for the life of me where that malus comes from. Since base chance is 35%, a -30% malus from wherever makes me unable to even attempt assassinating. This would be fine if I knew where it originated from, but... fake edit: reviewed my hero's conditions and there's nothing that suggests a malus to assassination.

It's most likely the awareness bonus characters get after just having had an assassination or similar action attempted against them. If you wait a turn or two you'll probably see the chance of success shoot back up.
