I am enjoying sticking a massive Ogre Camp within Altdolf's borders, just peacing out with aggressor Franz every so often after my big bois slap down his armies. It's like if a professional wrestler starting camping out in Buckingham Palace's gardens, stealing from catering and occasionally punching the royal guards. Edit: What's extra funny is Toddy freaking loves me for it  Also I'm on a 1060 graphics card, kind of middle/low settings but the game runs well enough. I think my benchmark test was sieging two skaven stacks and the game seemed fine. Blooming Brilliant fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Feb 18, 2022 |

I thought I had no interest in playing any of the Chaos factions but I have a strange urge to play Good Guy N'kari. Wipe out all the chaos factions, befriend all the order ones and intentionally lose the bear god race. Not sure if its possible but could be a funny challenge run.

I just love the idea of all these chaos mechanics on the grand map. The true poo poo stirring you could do on a large scale as Tzeentch, or making a multi-continent crab sex empire

I've reflexively alt-tabbed after winning a battle twice since it was my habit in TWW2 and ended up having to replay the battle because the game hosed itself, very annoying. First time the process just instantly closed when I tabbed out. Second time I got stuck on a black screen (it would show other apps during alt-tab, but actually switching tabs didn't do poo poo) so I had to CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart. Given how much of a slog settlement battles are - the second was even a siege battle - this is really putting a damper on my enjoyment so far.

I'm enjoying the tutorial campaign so far, I'll get a chance to finish it off tonight/tomorrow, but I REALLY hope CA gets the go ahead from GW to expand the monogods rosters with Age of Sigmar units. Where's my plagueboy riding his giant snail? Or my Slaaanesh devotee to gluttony who took one look at the ogres and said "Holy my beer can, I'll want it as a light snack after I eat them."? Age of Sigmar did a good job expanding Slaanesh to better emphasize the "God of excess" angle rather than just "Sex drugs and Rock and Roll".

I took an early confederation for 6 settlements as Cathay, wondering why I could grab them so early. Rookie mistake. Half of them are already under siege. I'm now up to my rear end in Daemons, Orcs, Skaven, Ogres and rebel armies because it also threw my yin/yang vibe way out as well. Getting blasted but apart from that I really love shooting off caravans whenever I can. I like the little dialogue options for them and the fights they pull have been unique and interesting. I think I just want that as the whole game. Sending out caravans to fight Ogre mercenaries and score sweet gold scratches that itch bad.

I thought there was supposed to be 3Ks autoformations when you click and drag but it doesn't seem to be a thing Also that it was meant to save your last formation with that army and its not doing that either. Am I crazy?

Are flying units not able to capture points? Had a battle where I sent my Demon Prince to grab a supply point, but even when he landed, it wasn't changing.

I don't think so, I had the same thing after landing Cathay's flyers. Also feel like I'm one of the only people starting with Cathay. The Western Province campaign has been fun so far. Confederated two parts of the wall and they've got good army upkeep bonuses to station an army there. Was swimming in money at the start as all the campaign objectives are intuitive stuff you do anyway. Portals just opened so looking forward to checking them out. e:typo

Yeah I started as Kislev because a) I've wanted to play them for ages and b) they seemed like they'd be the easiest to just really go wild and jump into the new mechanics without worrying too much. Cathay is probably up next. Maybe a demon campaign. Also, I need names for Frost Maidens because so far every one has been named Evelina, most of them with the last name Bebchuk. Its challenging.

so I'm running this on ultra at 2k and it runs fine but looks a bit lovely? Anyone else have this vague sense that something is off with the graphics? Like they're kind of blurry, the characters / models aren't sharp enough, and the ground is a bit lower resolution or something than it should be? I saw someone mention disabling TXAA or something like that, is that the culprit?

Really like the slower combat. For me battles have been too fast in every TW game since Shogun 2. Now it feels just right. Have enjoyed the game a lot but think that races are kind of meh.

As someone who liked the siege battles in WH2, the new walled battles suck and I don't like playing them. On the other hand the minor settlement battles are fun and I do like them. I propose a mod that makes the following changes: Walled settlement maps -> changed to minor settlement maps Minor settlement maps -> changed to field battles.

Other than tanks I can't really see what the empire would offer you, as kislev already has human level armour, guns, and artillery. Whereas dwarfs could give you poo poo like gyrocopters, irondrakes, ironbreakers etc, frankly I always wish I had dwarf infantry.

I'm sure its in, i just had to turn off because it was messing with my gunpowder checker boarding as Cathay. They did fail to introduce the real best feature from 3K, the more aggressive A.I. It's still refusing to engage in any field battles approaching being even sided, which helps compound any issues with seige battles because your stick doing them all the time.

genericnick posted:There's also the fire wind spell in yang and the alchemist fire imbue thingy. They have a lot of fire actually. I did miss the imbue ability, but Wall of Wind & Fire doesn't actually deal fire damage. Yes I know that's a bit strange, but it's pure magical damage (unless the tooltip is lying).

Cobra Lionfist posted:I don't think so, I had the same thing after landing Cathay's flyers. I played Cathay first because Miao Ying is really cool but it's been much harder than I ever expected. High Elves were my favorite and best faction from the previous games so I expected an experience relatively close to that and it has been muuuch harder. I don't know if it's me using gunpowder or what. Miao Ying seems fairly strong in her dragon form, but then in sieges she'll go from tanking everything to getting chunked to below half hp randomly. All your other lords, even half dragon blooded, and heroes being made of tissue paper is really annoying, especially when in the trailer I thought alchemists could put up a fight given their animations. I've been trying to use guns but I'm wondering if cutting everything but a couple of crane gunners and just going for crossbows would be better, especially for sieges. I do okay in field battles and then sieges are just an utter nightmare. Also annoyingly I ran into what I think is a bug. Went into Slaneesh as the first chaos realm to get some goodies and peace, but one of the enemy armies spawned on the gate down, thought okay, I'll fight them and then go through. Defeat the army but can't pass through the gate. Messed around for a turn trying to get it to trigger but no luck. Wasting time let Kairos catch up, he's sitting on another gate now but I'm scared to fight him if that'll just bug out again too.

I'm enjoying this and all but I've played fewer and fewer hours in every TW game as they've come out over the years and I think it's all the missions and narrative framing in the main campaign. I wish they'd do more of a medieval 2 thing for some factions where they didn't have to manage a bunch of superfluous mechanics. like when I recently reinstalled WH2 after a year or so and discovered dwarfs had this whole thing with grudges on top of the forge stuff, the empire had all this politicking, etc it kind of turned me off because my fondest memories of Total War are M2, M2: Stainless Steel, and Shogun 2 with a realm divide reducer/eliminator mod where the story and motivation came from emergent things rather than structured mechanics. I hope I can find my way around my feelings on those because I enjoy the fantasy battles a lot
