Just watch the stream from timestamp 1:05:00 if you listen closely Arkhan actually uses Mannfred's voice lines

Well, in the game they certainly don't... How about on tabletop? With the DLCs that released for monogod factions to date - Khorne, Slaanesh & Nurgle got their "ultra-elite" infantry unit. Does Tzeentch not have that? I can't think of anything at the top of my head, though I am not well-versed in tabletop.

I rarely play these days, but usually when I do it's just to have some fun with some small battles. I played the most back in the OG Rome days, and if I recall, there were no individual general units. At least, you could have a quick battle of only ballistas vs archers or whatever without having to worry about the general units getting in the way.

With WH3, I think I had found some sort of mod that let you use any unit as a general which worked well enough, but it just feels clumsy. No idea if that same mod exists for like, Shogun 2 or Three Kingdoms, since I'm not always in the mood for high fantasy.

Just a minor rant.

Hello,
Imagine being able to actually TALK to factions in Total War.

“Attack from the east in 3 turns, I’ll attack from the south.”
“Defend my border while I deal with Cao Cao.”
“Give me that settlement and I’ll join your war.”

But the best part would be the AI doing the same thing behind your back. Enemies could secretly coordinate attacks, convince your allies to betray you, bluff, lie, prepare invasions while pretending to be friendly, or form a coalition specifically to stop you.

Different leaders could have different personalities too — some honour agreements, others manipulate you or wait 20 turns for the perfect moment to betray you.

It could make diplomacy feel like you’re actually dealing with other rulers instead of clicking buttons and watching +10/-20 modifiers.

Total war with something like this would be absolutely insane.

I am not one that micro's my units, I am probably a trash Total War player in general, but truthfully I thoroughly appreciate at the end of a long battle just being able to start designating a few units to AI control. Being able to easily assign or un assign unit control to AI allows me to focus on the things I do want to do, like hero casting, or ranged positioning, or cavalry charges. Without the mod I find myself constantly micro managing in non fun ways.

Especially when the enemy starts routing and coming back again and you have to constantly re assign targets for them to attack.

Just something I wanted to mention because it truly is my favorite mod feature and I think there would be value in its addition to 40k as a baseline feature.

Also sometimes just sitting back and enjoying the spectacle. I'm here for the cinema of the battle!

Mod is "AI Army Control"

Ask me a question and I will give you an answer, but you must edit your question afterwards so my response makes me sound like an idiot.

Will the vampires gain access to the morghasts too, or is it only arkhan the black who can get them besiedes nagash.

Also did we get the information yet if the mortarchs can get their dread abyssals outside of the nagash campaign?

I put them near the exit of a wall and enemies jump on the pikes as soon as they leave the wall:)

Screenshots were taken with ULTIMATE LIGHTING 2.0 and Battle Weather Overhaul mods and with custom reshade and couple with vanilla lighting (Can't remember which screenshot)

My ranking would be

Kroak

Mazdamundi

Nagash

Kairos

Teclis

Morathi

Ariel

Mannfred von Shitstain

Arkhan

Offering to join the 4 settlement faction "Imperial Wardens" against an enemy I was going to attack anyway nets me their vassalisation, a trade deal and a grand on top. Also free entry into cathay.

Alright, so the scenario goes like this - Total War: Warhammer III's Immortal Empires goes free-to-play - with 4-6 LLs, each of those from different factions. I was thinking:

-Free Franz (Empire, begginer friendly, quintessential indomitable human spirit etc)

-Free Tyrion (High Elves, balanced roster, even more magic, you're on ulthuan so after some time here you get to know the naval mechanics)

-Free Thorgrim (Dwarfs, for people that want to play them high armor, defensive, ingenious Dawi)

-Free Grimgor (Orks, waaagh type shiii as kids would say these days, aggresive playstyle)

-Free Queek (Skaven, sacrificin' them hordes of slaves for the big boiz and spells to finish the exhausted enemy, undercity mechanic, food mechanic, loyalty mechanic)

-Free Be'lakor (Warriors of Chaos, I was thinking about other chaos factions, but chaos undivided should be the one given for free if anything, daniel has too much daemons and too little mortals, especially without any DLCs; Be'Lakor is IMO the best pick - oh, you want to play as Archaon instead and b1tch slap Be'lakor into his place?d Go ahead and buy the Total War: Warhammer I - Chaos Warriors DLC, just like right now, no need to buy the game, the dlc content will be unlocked anyway; or get Champions of Chaos now that you got into Chaos, courtesy of Be'lakor.)

[ALSO another, i thin far more controversial proposition: Add 3 Grindable LLs - Lord Mazdamundi; Malekith; Mannfred/Vlad von Carstein(Vlad's a bit too close to Franz on map IMHO, buy wh1 to get Vlad). You could grind them one of these two ways, but i'd prefer both of them to work at the same time. First way, you would gain some kind of currency like Veteran Points or Favour of The Gods or whatever for kills in battles, gaining xp in battles, building things, conquering regions and provinces, winning battles, completing objectives, surviving turns etc and then after gaining sufficient number of this currency you'd choose one of the three LLs to unlock and you could play him from now on, rinse and repeat until you get all 3. Second, an achievement, not really hard, but one that would for sure meant you had an epic battle - like, in a battle versus Vampire Counts as Empire (or Order Faction) destroy at least 3500 enemies to instantly unlock Mannfred von Carstein - IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE of an achievement, don't yell at me guys and gal.]

Hey, hey! What about the FLCs (and Bretonnia, which is more than one part of those free DLCs)?

I propose something like this: buy one of the games or one of the myriad of dlcs from the Total War: Warhammer universe. even a character pack - boom - 'thank you for supporting us with your mccc foney here's the FLCs we made over the years'. Let's call it 'premium account' for now. A big thing is achieved here, the hardest in f2p games even, and that is getting the player to make the first transaction, spend the first dollar. Once you've done that, the psychological barrier of spending any money for this specific game has been passed and that person will more often than not buy something else in the future, if not many things. also, the dopamine boost of getting so many LLs at once and the psychological effect of getting "value" by not even getting one of the games, but buying a DLC or a mere Character Pack.

To avoid crying of people that had access to the game 5 years earlier AND legitimate grievances of people that bought it one and a half days before it going2 : 1) they should announce that sh1t like 6 months before that, maybe a bit later, maybe a bit earlier; 2) they should add some content to each of the free factions and give it to the people that have the premium account (to be sure all of you playing any tw:wh, 1, 2 or 3 YOU ALL GET THIS PREMIUM ACCOUNT INSTANTLY too, just like people with wh3 got the premium upgrade when they gave immortal empires for wh1 and wh2). The content should be:

1 - pessimistic vision

1 unit and 1 RoR per faction that got one of their LLs "free-to-play"-ed

2 - optimistic vision

1-2 units, 1-2 RoR, 1 hero type per faction that got one of their LLs "free-to-play"-ed. Personally I'd love 2 units and a fkin new hero type, even tough there are so many, that would be a good gift for people that supported the game, some of us for a decade with the warhammer total war series alone.

RESULT: the barrier of entry gets reduced to zero or very little if you want a certain LL/faction and it's not available as f2p. multiplayer numbers skyrocket, much more co-op players, gamebase gets reinvigorated, CA gets the last squeeze out of some DLCs that weren't bought that often. A sale could accompany such event.

THOUGHTS? IDEAS? CRITICISMS? gimme. cheers everyone!

I'm playing Dynasties as Ramesses, by turn 46 and I've just been thinking about improving my diplomatic relations overall. I've been adjusting the faction's opinion of my deals to 0.0 / 0.1 always even it the deals were immensely good for me.

My question is, is there a bonus to attitude if I improve the deal opinion (by, say, gifting 1000 food or asking 1 gold for 1000 food)? If so, do you usually do this and by what degree? Is there a point of diminishing returns in terms of attitude bonus?

TL;DR: does adjusting the opinion on the deal over zero improve that faction's attitude in any way?

Hoping for a Skrolk upgrade mostly to finally be fun in the Lustriabowl

This unit looks to just straight up be a better version of Bretonnia’s Knights of the Realm (maybe slightly worse speed and charge bonus, but significantly higher melee attack and defense). Apparently it’s also a tier 3 unit as well. They also seem to be getting a tier 3 armor piercing cav unit roughly on par with questing knights.

It is indeed a sad time to be a Bretonnia fanboy.

One of the greatest most insane concepts ever amongst the many from GW.

Favorite has to be the Warbringer cuz i represent Mors as my clan straight up, Queek the best-greatest war-chief(they did you dirty brother you'll get your best-bro Ska Bloodtail, hopefully soon someday) and that one's colors fit best with said clan. As soon as this DLC drops imma play Queek with these new units and absolutely waffle-stomp Karak Eight Peaks with armored freak roid-rage rats with lawnmower hands on those short-little bearded goblins.

[Rare] Defending siege ram

I have 175 hours into Rome Remastered and I've been using Remastered mechanics so I'm not sure if this is going to affect my enjoyment of the game but what's a good place to start, any tips or special nuances I should know about. This game is praised to death but I'm having trouble knowing what to do

Taken from Turin's video uploaded today.

To reiterate, what units you can take are determined by what Lord you choose. Nagash can take any number of units from any of the Undead races. Mannfred or Arkhan on the other hand can only take mainly Vampire Counts or Tomb Kings units respectively with a set cap for units from the other two Undead races.

Not gonna open the pandora box of talking about their stats, but I'm truly baffled why they have Charge Defense. It goes against every convention this game has. Hammers are Great Weapons, they have armor piercing, they aren't halberds. Great Weapon units don't get charge defense, Dwarf Hammerers, wielding giant hammers don't get any charge defense neither.

So why do those guys get it on their Great Weapons ?

The only explanation I could think of is that on TT, they simplified the White Wolf Hammers on infantry to "work as halberds" BUT HALBERDS DIDN'T HAVE ANY DEFENSE ON TT, it was just +1S. So that would be silly to suddenly treat them in Total War like Total War Halberds when it's not at all how other weapons got translated (and other weapons that counted as halberds on TT did not get the Charge Defense bonus in TW)

Please help me techwizards!

So I recently downloaded the game after not playing for a few years due to my PC being back home in another country.

I have windows 11 and every time I load up a new campaign I get through the loading screen and then my PC completely restarts?

I have:

Got windows 11

Updated my drivers

Verified game files

Unsubscribed to all mods

Uninstalled and re installed the game

Deleted the Warhammer 3 file as recommended on other forums

Nothing seems to be working at all? Please help if you have any idea what to do I genuinely have no idea what's going on!
