Wow Swordmasters of Hoeth are dicks. I'm not used to losing more than ten models per unit of Suaruses just yet, and here come these pointy headed assholes sticking around long after their buddies have routed off or been eaten to just wade through my guys without breaking a sweat.

Truecon420 posted:Would anyone else like to see CA take a crack at Total war Warhammer 40k, maybe like 5 years from now with new tech? I'm not sure if the map would be 3d/2d or have planet battles or what not but just the idea seems really cool to me. I mean, CA's proven fairly recently that they have the chops to make good games that aren't Total War (See Alien: Isolation, which is excellent) but Total War as it currently exists would not be a good fit for a 40K game I don't think. That said, I still really want to see Eugen take a crack at the setting. Wargame: 40K could be the tightest poo poo.

toasterwarrior posted:Empire is a definite jack-of-all-trades, and is probably the best at teaching you how to structure and utilize every facet of your army effectively since combined arms is how they get poo poo done. If the enemy has a strong melee infantry core, you'll have your guns/magic/cavalry to break them with while your own melee infantry tanks; stuff like that. Also your literal tanks  I didn't realized how much I missed the blood pack until I had to play without it. Dudes disappearing in a shower of gore when artillery hits is much better tactile feedback for the player then some guys fall over maybe.

Captain Oblivious posted:Strange thing, how does one actually play as Brettonia in Mortal Empires without having Warhammer 1 currently installed? Seems the only way to do so is by being prompted to install the freelc, but you can't do that unless Total Warhammer 1 is presently installed soooooo If the FreeLC is listed as owned on your account, you can play Brets in ME. If it's not, you never installed it, and so yeah, you'll need to reinstall Warhams 1, get Brets, uninstall, then go play ME.

ZearothK posted:Historically pike blocks were the best weapons to use against rogue dinosaurs in the aftermath of the Finnish-Korean Hyperwar, so they'd definitely work against a Carnosaur in this hypothetic scenario. Probably would do well against Varghulfs as well, but in this case the closest historical record is against the Giant Bats of colonial Australia and the Pike had fallen out of favour with the British Empire by then, so they were mostly shot to poo poo by the early redcoat. It didn't really kill them (due to regeneration), but it usually scared the beasts and they eventually went extinct as their grazing areas were settled. Thank you, this has set my mind at ease. I am now back to being unreasonably stoked for Tomb Kings.

That thing barely had rules and never got an actual model in TT, sadly. Tomb Kings got left in the dust real hard. On the flip side, this also means the End Times era team never really had a chance to mess up TK fluff, which was pretty universally great.

You know, it's been a few millenia. It's not really that far fetched to assume the Delves did some remodeling after they left, as opposed to "Ulthuan always had blue elves and purple elves until all the purple elves left."

Epic was all the ridiculous giant scale stuff, so it was about the size of a space marine dreadnought model in the main game and individual bases of infantry were full platoons and the like. It was the warhammeriest that 40k ever got and GW was dumb to kill it.

Kanos posted:Christ, the diplomacy in this game. I have a longstanding NAP with someone. They ally with someone who is being openly belligerent to me at some point. I declare war on the belligerent party and my erstwhile NAP partner opts to stick with his ally and declare on me. This catapults me from Steadfast to Untrustworthy. Either pay off the NAP'd guys to break their alliance with the assholes or cancel your NAP and then spend 10 turns setting up your invasion before you declare to avoid the penalty. Alternatively, give zero shits about your rating because it will climb back up over time and chances are you're just gonna wind up killing everybody anyway.

Already on 11, but thanks. Based on searching around for similar issues, it looks like it's something to do with AI empires trying to initiate an invalid diplomacy request or something and is specific to Warhammer 2. You can fix it by doing some diplo related thing with said faction when you reload your autosave since it changes up what they'll do during their turn, but if it's an empire you have no contact with on the other side of the map you're boned. Seems rare, at least.

packetmantis posted:I'm having a consistent crash on turn 18 in every game when Crooked Moon's turn comes up, anyone had anything similar lately? It's what Ho said. If you have contact, do some random diplo thing with them to get the AI to reseed its actions and do something that doesn't cause a crash. If you don't, restart. Good news is that this seems to be pretty rare and also only seems to happen in the first twenty or so turns of a game.

StashAugustine posted:I said this before, but the problem I was having is that if you have this The solution here is to not group order your cav during attacks - group them when moving them around to keep them centralized, but when attacking and cycling out give orders to your cav units individually. That way they'll go exactly where you want them to go, and you're less likely to waste a charge by having your cav trip each other up trying to get to the same target or crossing through each other.

toasterwarrior posted:I've seen the idea floated around in Reddit but what do you guys think of using Demigryphs (lances) as linebreakers a la trolls and chariots? With their small unit size, they can fit in the front ranks right behind Handgunners along with Greatswords, then charge in to disrupt and tank with skill-based ward saves. Meanwhile, the Greatswords can move up to engage. Is this not how people have been using them? Demigryphs are absolutely excellent when stuck in - the lance means they get an awesome charge, not that they're shock cavalry. You should totally be using Demigryphs to break up formations and keep infantry units tumbling, with halberd gryphs having the added bonus of being monsters against Trolls and Giants and poo poo.

Brets don't really stand up well against welves until they're rocking Royal Pegs/Hippogriffs and some Grail Knights. Also, depending on what units the welves are fielding, fire arrows may be a better call than pox. With that composition you've got, assuming the generic cavalry you mentioned are mounted yeomen who I've found to be functionally useless honestly, if the welves equal you in numbers any win you pull off is going to be super pyrrhic. Basically, do what you're doing with the pegs (although try to spread them out so that all the welf archers are forced to engage, if you can) and then loop your Knights Errant in to actually break them, because the pegs can't do it by themselves and you're going to lose the infantry fight no matter what you do so you need the archers out of the picture in order to give your cav breathing room for charges. Use your archers to draw the welf infantry into a fight, then shoot at whatever is a nice target. Fix them with your infantry, bearing in mind they're going to get slaughtered, then start cycle charging with your yeomen or whatever they are. This is gonna be a nasty fight, and you're likely not going to win it, the objective is just to buy time for your Pegs and Errants. If they have Wild Riders, do your best to put some fire on them with your archers after they draw the infantry in, but be aware that those guys are going to account for like half the welves total kills. The real answer is to not fight this battle, for the record
