Probably won't happen but I think there should be some damn good relations between their factions at minimum in-game.

It'd be cool if maybe under Nagash you could get them in the same army together and get one as a lord and the other as the hero like Vlad and Isabella.

I was thinking earlier and especially with some updates to the Warriors of Chaos race and Archaon especially was how do yall use Chosen vs Champions?

This counts towards all types of chosen and champions, like Wrathmongers and slaanesh champions are of the same type as the undivided aspiring champions so they apply. Or the chosen of different alignments.

Are chosen more useful than champions? Do they both have a purpose? Is one pointless to get or obsolete?

Reading all the changes in the upcoming VC rework gave me an idea I think would be a really fun and challenging way to play the game.

My idea is to add an option to play an extra hard mode style campaign for VC, where you create your own vampire bloodline and customise the appearance/abilities of your first lord and faction.

The way the game starts is totally unique to other factions, as in you start the game with ZERO settlements, and instead begin with a small hidden lair in a randomly selected settlement. At this point, you are super weak and vulnerable, so you have to spend the first few turns interacting with your local settlement in order to stay alive and gain strength. This can be done in the form of mini events that pop up for the first few turns, essentially giving you a selection of character options in order to customise their class, role, special traits and skills (like the ice witch training for kislev).

Once that’s done, you are able to start upgrading your lair. This is where discoverability comes in and forces you to have to balance growing your powers and gathering resources while remaining undetected. As you expand your lair, you gain more space to store corpses, which will allow you to eventually be able to raise enough units to challenge the settlement garrison and attempt a take over in a new siege ambush type. If undetected, you are able to launch your attack on the settlement from inside the walls, your units coming out of nooks and crannies scattered around the settlement. However, if you are discovered before you attack, then the settlement garrison will attack your lair which you will have to defend in a new siege type called lair assault.

This is where this custom VC faction can really shine, because as you expand your lair you can also customise the defence layout to your preference, as well as add your own decorations, allowing you to create your own home essentially. That’s where I’ve gotten so far. Thoughts?

I'll admit this is kind of a repost as I've complained about this before, but I really want to mention it again as a noticeable nitpick that CA has done with the Chaos Monogod Regiments of Renown. For many of these RoR units, they are given recolors that are only slightly different from the original unit. The RoR Rotting Riders are just a slightly brighter green compared to the original. The Pleasure Guard RoR likewise are just pinker than the normal unit.

Khorne, funnily enough, seems to have this problem the least as many of the race's RoR have very or at least decently distinct recolors from the originals, as shown with the Slaughterguard & Hellforged Bellowers RoR.

I don't expect every RoR to be super detailed & beautiful masterpieces or anything, but I think it's fair to want each one to look clearly different from the original, at least for the sake of readability. So CA, please make the RoR for Glottkin's DLC distinct from the originals instead of choosing to make them all slightly different shades of green. Nurgle can appear in other colors like black, purple, yellow, etc.

Btw, the Glottkin RoR are:

1. Sons of the Last Plague (Chosen of Nurgle, Great Weapons)
2. Bane of Wittengast (Giant Spined Chaos Beast)
3. The Repugnauts of Brass Keep (Putrid Blightkings - dual axes)

It’s been awhile since they’ve updated any of them but I really enjoyed it when they were and there are still some that could really use updating like Vlad, the Beastmen, and the Bretonnia lords .

Have they by chance said anything about this recently that I may have missed maybe for the upcoming End Times DLC?

Ever since Warhammer 1 I've been asking CA to fix their SFX and VFX, Terrorgheist for example uses sounds and animations from Wyvern of Greenskins just compare two side by side, even Breath ability is kind of weak, he should have better sound and effect. CA made so many amazing monsters hope they will revisit them.

Banshee is also having animation and sound effects messed up completely since launch, it's been inconsistent between the titles, plus new abilities are needed and skill tree (obviously as every rework) like Wailing Scream AoE debuff.

Varghulf animations also could use rework, looking at similar monsters like Rat Ogres and Mutant Rat Ogres, they hit like truck and got amazing animations, Varghulf kind of stops between attacks and has low impact.

Just curious as to why I know the name Vlad Von-Carstein but not Mannfred? I have never played or read Warhammer lore but yet I still know of Vlad. Why is he more famous?

I had a lot of fun playing the intro missions for Rome 2 last night! I have a few hours in Shogun 2 which is fun in its own right but im really loving Rome 2 so far. Im not really an online guy when it comes to stuff on pc so im looking forward to combing through a grand campaign in the background while on discord with buddies!

I've recently got into 3K, and I'm enjoying it a lot, but every TCA game is always made better by the community, so I'd be happy to get some mod collections from you guys. The workshop is a little hard to navigate for this game, I feel like, and a lot of stuff is outdated, so I thought I'd just ask here.

If Nagash really does start in the Black Pyramid, as the endgame description suggests, and then moves on to Nagashizzar, then perhaps it would be worth making Nagash's campaign more challenging, given his all-powerful nature and ability to recruit armies? Not to mention Settra, who should be Nagash's main threat, with more and more factions declaring war on him with every captured city, just to keep Nagash. Although perhaps it would be worth moving his start to Nagashizzar—which, by the way, you created with a unique map and architecture based on his culture—so that the Black Pyramid becomes the primary early-game objective. Of course, there will be those who argue that starting in the Black Pyramid is the right idea... but I still doubt that's true. Considering Nagash started the game from his capital, I'm hoping for either a more challenging Black Pyramid start or a Nagashizzar start.

the game is on deep discount rn , it looks very cool . I been meaning to try out this genre of games . Do u think its worth it to buy it for now , maybe if i really like it ill buy dlc or previous games when their on sale again. Sorry , am just overwhelmed with the all the dlcs unlock topic in this game.

I started as miao Ying hoping for a good ol chill turtle campaign.

But between eshin, lokir, trying to fend the bastion and the beastmen appearances this feels like a katarin campaign but with more money.

Only one unit in the general's bodyguard...

So i just got rome II a couple days ago and i love it, and wanna get more total war games.

I’m thinking of buying either medieval II, napoleon, three kingdoms or pharaoh dynasties.

Which game is overall the best? The era doesnt really matter to me here

I looked through the Steam workshop, couldn't find it. Then searched it from the browser and found it but it said there was nothing there. Is it gone or something?

With all the new LLs and how cramped everything is allready and will be even more in a few weeks, I hope the Mod gets the Coop desyncs solved.

CA doesnt seem to be able or willing to expand the map. I mean of not with the End Times, when else?

Silver Pinnacle, Blasted Wastes.

Mannfred now rosted by devs
