BIG DOGS GOTTA EAT

>>555811625
In Attila, a lot of siege maps were designed around layered killzones and the basic result is that a couple garrison units could exterminate entire 40-stacks of elite units.
The issue is just AI. In practice the attacker can make a defensive siege unwinnable by effective use of artillery and missile units but the AI isn't smart enough to do that and attempts to make it try usually blow up in CA's face.
So instead they shifted their approach and just made it so that the siege map design was an active liability for the defenders.

Depends. The new units dont fit into "form a box and fast forward" meta, but allow you to make different types of armies besides just melee + crossbows + artillery
- Onyx Crowmen hit way above what their stats suggest. Couple of them can easily rip enemy backline apart and they are unlocked early.
- Jade lion and Jet lion are early SEMs. They are alright. Jade lions have more offensive stats and free bound fire breath spell (like Wind Blast), while Jet lions are defensive and have Bound missile mirror.

So instead of battle box, you can build aggressive melee rush armies: crowmen attack the backline while Lions support your Jade troops. For sieges having multiple flying units is godsent and the Lions can knock down gates. Missile Mirror is also godlike against Skaven and Tzeentch. Turning ratling gunner/flamer fire against themselves is peak kino.

Last news we got:
https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war/blogs/92
>loking forward, we have some development changes to make you aware of. The first is that Neferata – Nagash’s Mortarch of Blood – will become our free Legendary Lord coming alongside Patch 8.0 aka The End Times Update. We had originally planned for her to be the first character in our new ‘smaller’ content packs – which we’re naming Character Packs – but after some lengthy consideration, it just makes thematic sense that she and a Vampire Counts Update arrive alongside The Great Necromancer.
>So, who’s going to take her place for our first Character Pack? We’re always keen to explore more of the unknown in the Warhammer world-that-was, so we’re venturing back to Grand Cathay with a thematic twist with a fearsome DLC that will come roaring in to claw back that space left byNeferata- plus an assortment of lore-inspired content. What’s also different about this pack is that it’s smaller than our normal single pack. We’re trying to get more content out that doesn’t necessarily have a place to build a giant faction around. The pricing for the pack will match the value of the content in it. While this is an experiment for us, we do think the value of the content is there so there’s a reason for us to do it. However, expect it to be less than our normal pack price of £7.49 / $8.99. You’ll hear more from the team about this new pack in early 2026.

>>555859710
They got some new stuff over the years but they really havent changed much
Wait for bone daddy for a proper rework

>>555859710
Their general unit quality is pretty shit and absolutely requires a caster of some sort baby sitting them individually to be anywhere close to decent most of the time, this ensures they struggle horrendously against most of the high quality high leadership factions they have to fight constantly in WH3.
Them not having any good and convenient ranged units also makes it really hard to deal with enemy large a lot of the time, since some of their anti large options are really bad at getting to swamped large units, and swamping those large units in the first place is difficult when the AI doesn't care about economy and easily matches your numbers often.
They feel left behind by power creep.

Vlad loses to Karl Franz in a 1v1. That is how bad things have become.

Karl Franz beats Vlad in a 1v1. That is how great things are going!

>>555859710
Vlad/Isabella are ok, personally I prefer playing Izzy to get the vampire hero doomstack going quicker, with their AP and ridiculous tankiness once levelled, it's an unlifesaver harr harr vs dawi. Just focus on the essentials - get some grave markers up ASAP (recruiting zombie shitstacks to die in droves helps), focus on building the t3 growth building for the global necromancer recruit rank (I build literally only these for the first ~30 turns to get them on lodestone corpse carts, plus this saves a ton of money), utilizing your heroes and elite units in addition to shambling hordes. Gotta get a bit lucky or strategic with diplomacy to avoid getting dogpiled, but they're fun. The real challenge is avoiding burnout when you fight hour long battles back to back because AR doesn't realize how potent carts + zombie blobs can be.

I like WH1 Dwarf/Empire campaigns. Sure, they lack "extra mechanics" (press button to receive buffs), but there's things that really cater to my specific preferences. I really like that you cant inhabit mountain settlements as Empire, so instead of blind blobbing you have natural incentive to build alliances and help dwarves retake their holds bordering you so you have natural buffers. Armor piercing is a lot more rare so armor feels more valuable: Chaos Warriors are a lot more threatening, dwarven infantry feels a lot more like ironclad wall of steel and knights being armored matters more (and not all elite cavalry has automatic AP so there's more asymmetric balance). The campaign also has better overarching story; you have your initial enemies, then consolidation of nearby bigger threats and then you prepare for Chaos Invasion (which you should mod to be a lot bigger though), whereas WH2 and WH3 main campaigns feel just like endless blobbing while waiting "unlock final battle" counter to go up.

Yeah, Bretonnia was really comfy. Besides Norsca you really didnt have any big enemies, so you could really play intl the "french nobles fighting eachother" trope. Norsca was great since you werent sandwiched between Empire and Chaos Wastes, both of which hate your guts and sandwich you from both sides. Now that you mention it, Norsca is one of the few factions that's best experienced in WH1. As for WoC, I somewhat disagree. They are vastly better gameplay-wise in 3 (god-specific units, warbands and whatnot), but aside from that, in WH1 context they nail the theme down perfectly. You cant have armies next to eachother so generally you'll face superior numbers constantly. With AP being so rare, Chaos Warriors more than compensate for that weakness. It felt like an intoxicating power trip. However the campaign feels somewhat meaningless with your only objective being "kill everything". With small map this is somewhat reasonable, but if they had final mission akin to Beastmen's Fall of Man + specific last stand mission for Empire/Dwarves/Bretonnia, it'd be peak kino.

And yeah, Vampires suck, thats for sure. Without skelemanii upkeep reduction they are just chaff Empire but worse, having similar numbers and relying on Nehek spam to cheese your few power lifters to make them invincible, but it never fulfills the "uncountable masses of undead" aspect I feel is vital to VC experience.

The game would play so much better if animations followed actions instead of actions following animations.
Classic MMOs for example, the action occurs and the animation tied to it is purely cosmetic, it's to provide a small visual cue at best, you aren't held back by your character needing to complete some ridiculously clumsy animation to do anything.

Am I just supposed to eat the negatives of the Support system when playing as the Orthodoxy? I'm fighting nothing but chaos right now and I'm at 11 support tiers vs 3 for the ice court and have invested fuck all into supporting either side, on top of that Katarina is expanding south like crazy since I've essentially secured her north of all threats early.

File: wind of death.webm (3 MB)

3 MB WEBM

>>555944302
I'm gonna be real with you.
Buff spells are almost never worth it over just casting more wind of death and invocation of nehek.
Most buff spells are giving like 5-15% of your army a mild combat buff to the models actually engaged in combat for half a minute or so. Invocation of nehek allows units to just exist longer or be reinforced while the enemy army is running away and wind of death just kills a ton of shit directly.
Buff and damage spells are balanced for MP, which means buff spells are meant to be effective in armies of like 5 units at a time and damage spells aren't balanced around the AI putting literally their entire 20 stack in a straight line.

>>555943848
Generally no. Even hybrid lords are a so-so besides the initial spell they start with. You're usually strapped enough as it is with yellow and red line skills; red line makes your army a lot beefier and putting points into yellow line allows you to delete enemy lords. Its much more efficient to have secondary hero draining exp to function as spell battery.

As for second mage - generally no. You can drain your WoM pool with a singldem caster just fine. There might be some very specific edge cases, but most of the time you're much better off with one more SEM/power unit if you already have a spellcaster flinging spells.

>>555942875
Check your womb for tatoos.

IMPORTANT
Are there any mods that can turn down the replenishment/change post battle casualties.
Armies losing loads of dudes, deaths etc and then afterwards the units are at 80% health and back to full in 2 turns

If cascading fire cloak had a reasonable area of effect(maybe 100 meters) instead of only effecting literally one unit maybe I would consider using it over instantly deleting a quarter of the enemy army with a burning head.

That's literally every single buff spell in the game. They all fucking affect one unit out of an army of 20 so its always the question of
>instantly delete 10% of the enemy army or make 5% of yours fight a little better for ten seconds

>>555953072
Some of them have area of effect but it's only 35M so it doesn't do anything for more than 3 units at most practically.
And the buff also isn't doing anything for men loitering in the back rows so buff spells are even more anemic than they appear on the surface.

Even in small scale battles they really only see use in early campaign shitstack fights because that's your only option until your wizard is leveled up enough to use practical spells, and later you can just recruit wizards at a high enough level to have the good spells immediately.
In the tiny MP skirmishes you can just buy wizards with good spells right out the gate. If you want to get the most out of an AoE buff spell the AoE is so small that you need to blob the units you're buffing, then those units you just blobbed for a buff that sees a return in about 20 seconds get instantly blasted by some wind or vortex or bombardment spell that is infinitely more efficient and tactically viable than blobbing up multiple units just to try to use buff spells.
Buff spells are shit literally everywhere you have a choice between them and something else.

>80% of players who have played Wood Elves have finished Season of Revelation mini-campaign
So whats the deal with CA saying "Mini campaigns were really unpopular"? 80% of players who bought the DLC playing through it is huge. While there isnt achievement for "finish any campaign on any difficulty", only 60% of people who bought WH1 played a single quest battle, so the amount of people finishing any campaign is less than 60%. Mini campaigns were hugely popular in contrast to average campaign completion rate. Sure, if you cater to 5% market segment you'll get 5% of the sales, but among that segment it was a great hit. The issue wasnt mini campaign being unpopular, the issue was implementing it to unpopular race. If Empire had story focused mini campaign you'd see ~75% of people who bought WH getting the DLC (which would be major commercial success considering you'd get 33% price of the full game from making one small map to one faction instead of multiple on huge map and you could develop it in an existing framework, ie it'd be fraction of development cost of the full game)

>>555949770

>>555963747
Yeah honestly even with SFOs MASSIVE improvements (and when I play without SFO I use a WoM cheat that massively improve them as well) it's still questionable using them over your damage options, so obviously if you're playing the normal version of the game you have to be some kind of retard to ever waste WoM on them at all. Idiotic design.
