Raygereio posted:People have been yelling at GW that they should hire the really good creators like the dude behind the Astartes video, which lead to GW realizing that there might be market there. And now GW is publishing animations and it's "protect the IP"-time. They did hire the guy behind Astartes. But I think he got harrassed into quitting by fans because he took the job.

Sharkopath posted:Speaking of evil elves, I think its interesting how rough the start for morathi is, where so far the only survival strategy i've found is staying put in one province for dozens and dozens of turns, only occasionally going out to raid. Then you start hitting t4 and your one province is so profitable you're able to afford several stacks off of it alone and after that you are number 1 all the way and nothing can even come close to disturbing you. I just finished a VH Vortex Morathi campaign and loving hell was it rough. My first ~80 turns were just spent spinning my wheels, losing settlements left and right. Even lost my capital province. It only turned around when I confederated Hellebron and completely abandoned the south, instead opting to focus on Har Ganeth and that juicy gold mine in Ghrond.

Yeah the way I did it is just staying near quintex because the building chain there is pretty ridiculous. Ambush armies that try to invade and when the coast is clear go and sack a neighbor before running back. It probably takes until turn 40-60 which is pretty late in a campaign, but from that point if you're building up a slave economy and have black arks to recruit from you dont need to invest in any military chains heavily at all, and dark elf armies can go really far with just spears and dark shards and bolt throwers anyways, so you can probably afford 3-4 stacks and start using them to expand safely and siege down your more entrenched neighbors.

Does the Runelord/smith aura that lowers missile and magic resistance stack with itself? E: vvvvv yeah sometimes those abilities don't seem to make them negative, sometimes they do. Oh well. Thanks.

Mans posted:I've not seen much Nazi apologia coming from the Orks Stormboyz are usually younger Orks who for various, inexplicable reasons, have grown tired of the normally anarchic lifestyle among the regular Ork boyz. Tired of being told that they can do whatever they want they seek the way to rebel against typical Ork lifestyle. Longing for discipline, these youths often run off to join a Stormboyz camp. This is particularly typical of the youths of the Goffs and Blood Axe clans.[1] While at these camps the young Orks are drilled in marching and hurtling through the air, a regimental lifestyle that these Orks can become easily addicted to. It may be due to their chosen lifestyle that Ork Stormboyz have an actual respect for authority rare in Ork Kultur. Unlike most Orks, Stormboyz also take planning and forethought very seriously. Such information as strength and location of the foe are used by the Stormboyz to determine how best to orchestrate their attack.[1] Other Orks usually view all this parading, boot-polishing and voluntary obedience with amusement or even contempt, but despite their strange ways, the Stormboyz are a serious force on a battlefield. Always eager to show their prowess by putting their battle-drill into practice they use their Rokkit Packs to strike at vulnerable targets, predetirmined by a kunning plan.

Jay Rust posted:Is total War Warhammer 2 the best total war game? I have limited experience with Warhammer and total War in general but I do love me some total War Warhammer 2, is it worth checking out the other games in the series? total war warhammer is easily the most replayable total war but certain elements are very simplified by comparison. i loving love three kingdoms total war and will recommend it to everyone. it adds a great layer of wheeling and deeling in diplomacy and is the first TW game where diplomacy is actually fun and powerful. within the course of a single campaign you'll be making and breaking alliances, giving a warlord your prized horse to shut down that front in a hellwar, offering yourself as a vassal to a stronger ruler for protection, selling that ruler so much food they become reliant on you and you withdraw it and invade them while they starve its also just got genertal improvements to the way units move and fight on the battlefield, everything is quicker and more responsive and more lethal. cavalry will run right over unbraced infantry but braced spears will reflect the charge damage back and instantly break elite cavalry but its "solved" much faster than warhammer is, i'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes cavalry charges that make a minotaur blush or played dynasty warriors though

Mans posted:Is arch the SFO owner? No, he's some toxic content producer dipshit who used to go by ArchWarhammer but was so publicly vile that GW told him to remove the Warhammer part of his name or get hosed by. A former CA PR dude famously insulted him during the PR dude's retirement stream. Steel Faith was the original modder of SFO until he got pushed out for being a white supremacist. AFAIK he's pretty much vanished from the scene entirely

Encase you've missed it, assault and storm are often interchangeable so orks copying marines and calling themselves storm instead of assault is extremely plausible.

I fail to see how a green sentient fungus wearing some SS gear is all of the sudden making them be extremely fascist. Any war/history nerd is gonna see storm and immediately jump to german assault troops, does this all of the sudden mean that GW is secret neo nazis? poo poo have you seen a game shop where they literally create SS troops for the WW2 dioramas? There's definitely closet neo nazis who likely have made an ork army and threw SS stuff on there because they likely have a swastika flag in their room but as a company i don't think GW made the stormboyz model line with neo nazi intent. As peepshow properly put it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxS1H7oqrSI

Orks are supposed to be based on football/sports hooligans, so some Orks being infatuated with Nazis is clearly just extra authenticity of the source material.

It's pretty great, it's got a turn-based campaign with real-time battles, like a Total War game with huge spaceships. Ork spaceships specialize in ramming, of course. What's the recommended strategy for dealing with cavalry-heavy armies as Dwarfs? I ran into Nakai in my campaign and he had 8 horned ones in his army, and I had trouble avoiding getting my slow little guys flanked. The strategy that eventually won me the battle was forming my shielded melee into the rough, thin outline of a pentagon with archers and artillery in the center (most facing forwards) and great weapon melee reserve right behind the shields. I took heavy losses though. I was thinking it might have been better to form my ranged into a line sandwiched between outward-facing melee.

William Bear posted:
There's two strategies I can think of offhand for dwarves to fight hard and mobile armies. The first is to get real gamey with it, stack up in a corner of the map and be unflankable due to map geometry. The other, less gamey, strategy is to use battle lines effectively. Form a basic square or circle, with melee units checkerboarding around to prevent easy flanks and close on and unit's that try and break through. Then inside the square are your weaker pieces, like artillery, guns and bows to shoot out. Back these guys up with slayers, who really chop up the kind of big units that can break through a heavy battle line. Dwarves are heavy and immobile, so finding a defensible spot and sitting on it is generally the best play. From there you gun down the biggest enemies, and try to position slayers to chop up any cavalry or big boys that break through to your gun line.

But if you mod Grimgor to 100MA/MD/MR then a dwarf lord can't beat him, dwarves need a rework.
