Total War: Warhammer Hows everyone enjoying 3rd person?

38 Upvotes

Using 2 mods: third person mod and AI army control. Started a dechala run where I control the Lord in 3rd person and hand of the other 19 unit cards to the AI. Manually every battle because its fun to control the Lord and have the AI do its thing.

Currently turn 35 and i gotta sat the ai army control is pretty good! Half way through the battle i sometimes zoom out to check and the other units are doing well.

Battles are so damn cinematic, in third person there are now units highlights and other ui mess blocking the action.

I was dueling nakai for a few minutes trading blows then out the side of my screen i see my chariots barreling through some near by units, it was so awesome to wittness that close to the action. After a couple more blows nakai falls to the floor and i turn around to see more saurus routing through me right as some slaanesh champions flank and send half of em flying.

Controlling dechala manually making every attack count right in the middle of mobs felt good. You would think it might be janky or whatnot but it really is pretty dang good.

My only gripe is sometimes the unit you are fighting doesnt have a HP bar so you cant tell how low they are unless you zoom back out.

I am hooked. Thank you to Derpy. My new favorite mod and ai cant wait to do more campaigns with this ruleset.

Total War: Warhammer New added skaven units are disgustingly OP

168 Upvotes

I love playing dwarves but these new skaven units make the experience unbearable. Stormfiends with ranged weapons, like wtf they have insane range, insane damage with DOT % damage in AOE.
Even ironbreakers get completely anihilated after 2-3 hits, and to add to that for some reason these ranged units have 80 armor.

Also there was a mention in patchnotes that AI army comps were changed. now skaven spam 4 warp cannons in most of their armies. If you get lucky terrain with line of sight opportunities you can play that, but in deeps you lose 100%.

How do you deal with it? ROR warp cannon oneshots lords and halves units in 1 hit, it has more range than grudgethrower and deletes dwarven gyrocopters.

I thought it was only supposed to be Archaon that had the crazy wardsave at the start of the chaos invasion, but every single chaos army has the 99% ward save when they’re attacking. These are indeed the end times!

Total War: Warhammer isnt it time to bring old lords with no mechanics up to date?

43 Upvotes

i think we could have some updates on older legendary lords that have no unique mechanics.

queek for an exemple could have a lookalike of the cloak of skulls mixed with eltharion prison bonuses. like, you can select up to 5 skulls to display on this back trophy in battle that will boost him while at the same time the "cloak of skulls" mechanics that buff up clanrats and stormvermin.

kroq-gar could have a lookalike mechanic of bashiva with mazdamundi. with deccrees of the great plan, he gets bonuses to research, blessed units, bonus x chaos factions. plus, kroq-gar is summoned to battle in hexoatl when its sieged by enemies.

it goes on with malekith, all of the vampire coast, mazdamundi, all of brettonia.

as the map gets more and more crowded, i feel like the old lords could really use a fresh experience.

how you guys feel about that?

Total War: Warhammer POV: you’re Archaon but most of your armies are Nurgle themed

Post image
51 Upvotes

Archaon has been crazy fun rn. I’m loving his rework; it changes up his early game but makes it more rewarding now that you’re able to confederate super strong Lords like Tamurkhan and Arbaal right off the bat. But I’ve been focusing on Nurgle first since most Lords you’ll confed with will be Nurgle-aligned, like Epidemius and Festus, so you’re more or less incentivized to make Nurgle armies. I’m honestly all for it I love papa Nurgle generous gifts but I can see that being annoying if you’re not fond of the rot squad.

Total War: Warhammer How do you deal with Dwarves / Skaven as an early game Vampire Counts without lv 30 lords?

Post image
163 Upvotes

I am very much a ranged or strong magic lord kind of player. This fodder playstyle of Vampire Counts is brand new to me, and frankly irritating. Since against highly ranged factions my fodder clumps just get nuked. I would've played for Solo Lords, but ever since the update the only generic lord you have access to is Master Necromancer, which suck due to their poor durability in comparison to Prophets or Warlock Engineers. So... what exactly are you suppose to do? I get the point is to play around lv 30 Necrarch lords, but those are very limited. So is the high tier units due to unit caps. So how do you generally beat those two races as the new Vampire Counts?

Total War: Warhammer Best Legendary Lords on the evil spectrum to join the Ordertide with?

72 Upvotes

Whenever one wants to bring order to the world, but on the antihero side of things, I have found a couple of good picks for that:

Neferata is the first one of all. She has the ability to install Covens that raise diplomatic relations with anyone she wants. She even has a handmaiden that can do the same thing without much investment. Furthermore, she can vassalize anyone and can influence politics from afar with her web of power. For example, make the empire have a random war with someone close to it, join that war for diplomatic treaties.

Vlad is the second, for the skill he has that raises 40 diplomatic relations with imperial factions.

Dechala is the third, after she conquers much of Cathay, but she can do it endlessly, with everyone. She has a building in her pleasure palaces that adds up relations with everyone every time you build one.

I don't count ogres, because they already belong in the Ordertide in a neutral fashion.

Dark Elves follow, but not very closely. You have an ancillary called Envoy that is rare and random to get and it is not reliable. In some playthroughs I had like 6, and in some, not one at all. Constant wars with the high elves will strain relations with the empire and bretonnia until well into the mid and late game, but I made it once before.

Nagash can be diplomatic but only in the early game. As you expand you will pass the threshold slowly but surely and they will all massively dogpile you.

Total War: Warhammer Isn't Neferata OP?

23 Upvotes

New player here, won once as the Wood Elves after struggling a bit, played another ok campaign as Alith Anar, went for Neferata next and uh what?

Super strong army though very awkward to use. The Handmaidens are crazy good, but earlier on the army is unwieldy, main due to me being so dependent on missle units in my other campaign.

But the main OP thing is the web of power action called " Seed of Discord". Forcing a rival power to go to war against one of its neighbours, and now I'm at the point where I can spam 2 of that in 3 turns. No one is staying in power for pong because they are always in a 1v4 war around me.

It's ridiculous lol

Total War: Warhammer How to handle Archeon end times when he spawns next to you?

9 Upvotes

I was doing a Kroq'gar campaign that was going pretty smoothly, or so I thought. Got the end times warning and it started lets say turn 80. Turn 85 and Archeon himself is 1 turn from my capital with 3 other chaos armies on top of him, I've had barely any time to weaken him and his ward is still like 95%. Am I just screwed in this case? Do I just give up my starting province and migrate somewhere else? Feels like it's a campaign ender with very little I could have done about it but would welcome any thoughts if anyone had overcome this bullshitery!

Total War: Warhammer What faction gets the most Legendary Weapon, armor and items?

23 Upvotes

Just finished playing campaigns for the chorfs and Cathay, which brings me to ask.

The amount of legendary weapons and items I got from my returning Caravans really blew me away. The chorfs have a few items granted from caravans that were faction only as well as Cathay, but there were similar talismans and weapons occasionally.

I know with Tomb Kings you can spam/ make the same legendary weapons but I was looking for more of overall different legendary equipped stuff.

Shortly after turning these regions into Undead wasteland, this seems to happen all over my campaign. The climate suddenly changes back to their original climate, but the Ritual of Undeath is still marked as completed and the province counts towards my necropolis count.

Is there something I am missing, is this how it is supposed to be?
