There was some talk about camera mods and how they can cause crashing, however the in game 'debug camera mode' gives you the same unrestricted camera - and avoids crashes and keeps multiplayer compatibility. C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer\scripts And in preferences.script change the line default_camera_type # (starts as 1 or 0) to default_camera_type 2

Hmm I kind of wish the AI would still control your extra WWWAAAAGGHH army in battle, it surely would lead to interesting and unorganized battles. Very Orcy I would think.

Triskelli posted:Kinda disappointed that CA isn't planning on unit abilities, but I totally understand the decision to do so. Hopefully they (or some modder) restores some of the functionality of stuff like Spear Walls or Cavalry Wedges. I've seen people wishing for a visual clue of when your units are "braced" and the like, it'd make sense for your anti-charge units to automatically form up when they stop moving without having to tell them to. Have you placed units into guard mode? It might not look exactly like you hoped for but it should be close.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Chariots tend to be awful in total war games, unless you can constantly keep them moving in which case they will murder everything, if they ever get bogged down in the infantry blob or unmovable horses they are as good as dead. Looks like they made some changes to how units mass interact with others, probably to adjust for the huge monster units, that really hurt chariots. In Rome 2 you could cruise your scythe chariots through very heavy infantry and as long you spammed move commands it wouldn't get bogged into the unit. Now chariots get stuck no matter what commands you are given them, only large monster (trolls, crypt horrors, ect.) seem to be able to shove past infantry units reliably. Chariots can blast units over on the charge just like cavalry can but they have to escape during that little window when most units are knocked down. So if they are only useful to cycle charge, why not just use cavalry who can do just the same thing but are more versatile? Rome 2 chariots were most effective when you could drag the chariot through a huge line of infantry, but in warhammer it appears flipped - they are most effective just charging in and out. Vargs posted:Yeah, I've been using a boar chariot lately and if you can micro it properly it's basically the best and most cost-effective unit in the entire game. You can mow down an infinite number of heavy infantry without taking damage, and you do it very quickly. But the amount of attention required is absurd and it's easy to gently caress up. Interesting, what are you finding the chariot does better than cavalry? edit: oh yall are talking about single player Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Jun 12, 2016 |

Don't use wraiths as infantry to fight other units in brawls. They are spooky ghosts so you must use them in a spooky manner (they are one of the cheapest units causing terror). Engage stuff from the front with skellymans and deploy wraiths to where ever enemy moral is lowest, terror can cause routs at 1/4 moral even for high leadership units. Make sure your skeletons, bats or zombie dogs chase the terror routed unit so they can't recover then move your spooky wraiths over to haunt some new friends. In quick battle I usually include 3-4 wraiths as VC. I prefer them to cav in because their small unit size allows them to sneak through small gaps into to rear easily. Also they seem to take much less missile damage. Most importantly everyone brings tons of cheep anti large units which savage cav.

Olive Branch posted:Tried playing MP for the first time, I think I got matched with a top player. I took Dwarves, he Orcs, I lost pretty badly. My Quarrellers and Thunderers didn't do jack poo poo and got rear charged by boars. I should have taken chaff dwarves to cover my rear, I am playing Dwarves on SP now and they are so drat slow. Maybe I should play some custom battles before MP. Can always post your replay of you want some good feedback. Ranged units are much trickier to use vs another human compared to the AI (who will rarely disengage other units to chase off ranged).

Yukitsu posted:Don't know what to say. You can see people getting chronically wrecked by them in quick battles because they can't kill them, even without blobbing them. Ironically I've found the most effective is to just double(triple, quadruple) down on general sniping their Manfried and necromancer even harder than before. But they are shielded by their horde which makes magic missile hits very unreliable. The natural idea of AOE or ranged fire vs the blob is not effective because they just heal through it. I tried dancing in and out of combat to try and waste their magic on regen (when they aren't fighting) but wraiths + crypt horrors have good speed so it's difficult to avoid them.

Arglebargle III posted:Hi everybody I was just wondering if there's any reason to buy trolls as chaos thanks peace. no reason to buy trolls as any faction, their leadership is such dogshit Normally I would say that if you are playing vs the AI you can bring whatever you want to have a cool army because beating the AI isn't a big deal, however trolls are an exception. Their leadership is so low that they rout so quickly, especially if you play on higher difficulty levels where your units get a negative modifier to leadership.

I feel like in the transfer from tabletop to Total War game leadership is wonky for low leadership units. I believe in tabletop you could suffer penalties for being flanked, but because units fought in regimented blocks it was impossible for a 1v1 fight to outflank each other. However in TW Warhammer if you 1v1 charge trolls into a 90 man infantry unit they become surrounded. Trolls can smash dudes quite well (as the AI will show) provided they don't rout at the sound of a loud fart, however because they trample over normal infantry they manage to get themselves surrounded easily then freakout and route.

madmac posted:I've never had any issues using Trolls even on higher difficulties. Just keep them inside your leadership bubble and buffer them with other infantry so they don't get surrounded and Trolls will fight forever. Trolls are good, man. Got a link to the replay/youtube of that? Battles where units outside of the generally considered 'op' units are a lot of fun to watch. With flanks secured (5) and lord aura(3) they still get a max of +8. They also somehow manage to get tired faster than infantry in combat which leads to an early -3.

Swedish Horror posted:I had two armies attack a settlement with an enemy army garrisoned in it. When the battle loaded up, my reinforcing army was going to come behind the enemy army, and their reinforcing army was going to come behind me. Is this working correctly? My second army was behind me on the campaign map. Nope, not working correctly. The devs have posted how it's a known bug they are working on. Nothing you can really do now though, maybe quick save before battles and reload and see if it starts them in a new spot?

As peer suggested I think you intercepted an underway dwarf army (movement underground). If this happens you have the option to engage them, or let them pass. The pre-battle screen on the campaign map will look similar to any other battle (zoom in on the 2 armies, show the strength bay, show all units involved in the battle) but it will specifically say YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO INTERCEPT THIS UNDERWAY ARMY. You can turn down the option to engage these intercepts (same with ambush battles).

The auto calc says I'll lose 50 men in a battle, play it and my units just loving melt. Well on those difficulty levels the AI gets substantial bonuses to their morale and all stats and you get debuffs to your morale, so that even elite units will route quickly when surrounded. Hover your mouse over your leadership bar next battle to see all how its effecting you.

I'm taking a break from multiplayer and playing a single player campaign with some mods, including some unit pack mods. Some of the units are cool, some are poo poo so I want to disable the poo poo units. How deep into modding am I looking at here?drat Dirty Ape posted:Huh, retried the beginning of my VC campaign and when I bring Zhufbar to their last settlement I have no option to subjugate them. Anyone know what the secret is to getting the subjugate option? They have no armies, no other settlements, and they are not the vassal of anyone else. I easily verified it by saving, razing the city and seeing the 'zhufbar faction destroyed' message. Are you sure they only have 1 last settlement? Review on the diplomacy to make sure they didn't pickup a strange province somewhere. I also think you can only subjugate a faction when their last city is the capital of the province.

Vargs posted:This is incredibly easy to do. Just open the .pack with pack file manager and delete stuff related to the units you don't want. You should only see entries for the units the mod has added/modified so I'm sure you can figure it out no problem. Honestly, the only thing you'd really need to delete is the row allowing them to be recruited by a specific building. Thanks! You were right, it was incredibly easy. Almost too easy, soon I'll be going down the modding rabbit hole again and end up in Elder Scrolls land where you spend 10x time modding than playing.

Mr Teatime posted:How well does this run when compared to Attila? I was able to run Rome 2 with pretty much everything on ultra but I had to knock everything but the essentials down to performance for Attila to manage 30fps when zooming in on a battle. Should I expect another big loss in performance? I don't mind lowering settings and I'm generally happy to hit 30fps but if I have to drop the settings to the point where battles look like something drawn with a crayon I may hold off buying until I build a new desktop. I'm running an 860m/i7-4700, please don't judge me for having a gaming laptop, I work in the middle of the ocean for months at a time so I have no choice. Seconding the response that this runs better than Rome 2. Never played Attila though.

Sounds good, customizing was a neat part of TT so I hope we continue to get closer, including maybe non hero options for units. I wonder if characters with potions will get an indicator. Otherwise it could be rough to focus fire on a character just to have them heal back up without knowing it's coming. Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Jul 25, 2016 |

Plan Z posted:Are warhounds really a bad pick? I picked two units of them as Chaos during a multiplayer match and my teammate went ballistic on me. I mostly keep them around as a cheap way to chase down routing units as it's really nice to just not have to worry about a routing cavalry or heavy infantry coming back to the field. It's been successful for me so far. Two for that exact reason are a good pick - chaos low speed and low overall # of units per army makes it hard to spare infantry to run down routers. However chaos are considered not great in multiplayer so maybe he was just flipping out about that? Either way your fine and your teammate was an idiot.

The undocumented changes to magic on the last patch are indeed 200% crazy. They also increased the damage on magic missile type spells. To balance this ( ), they decreased the hit chance for close targets.How they reached the conclusion of - magic missile, not doing enough damage at long range, is anyone's guess. Hey at least they are going to nerf devolve fast.
