Do I need to know anything about Warhammer before I play this? I've never played the tabletop o...
Majority of players bearly know anything about Warhammer even after 1000 hours in
So I should just play and not worry about it? I've never played any grand strategies either, will I have trouble?
No, all you need to know is that you need to kill the rats
you do not want to eat skeven.
Grimgor eat skaven, some claimed it was the best food he ever had
Ogres don't seem to mind eating them
knowing about TW is probably more help 2bh. units are categorized in simple terms like cavalry, light infantry etc. knowing WH gives you more flavour and knowing what tastes of army you like, appreciation for shit like the Ork gods and the humour there, and might make some mechanics les confusing like winds of magic. but i think you don't need that to get into it, no.
it is nothing like the tabletop. just full stack monsters and sit back and watch the game play itself
You dont need to know literally anything.
As
mentioned its literally just blob cool looking units together and watch the battles play out.
Its a screenshot sim
>Stack monsters
>When your faction has no monsters or they suck
When have you seen a full stock of giants succeed?
chariots are tons of micromanagement and if you want to beat legendary get your hero to kite range units and go side to side with hero serpentining and wasting their ammo. always ambush stance near red circle of your base if enemy is in sight
No, but you'll learn more about it as you play.
The Queen and the Crone, and The Prophet and the Warlock are required DLCs to make Skaven and high elves not total shit.
If you play it for a while and start to like it, buy TW: Warhammer 1. It lets you play a combined map of all factions from 1 and 2. Pretty much everyone plays mortal empires.
All your DLC and purchases will transfer to Total War 3.
was that jpg really necessary to get your point across?
Be honest with me, are you on the ASD, or do you suffer from any other glaringly big mental issues?
I have a folder of random images I attach to posts because it means someone is more likely to read it.
I'm sorry this one upset you, have another.
If I'm pirating 2 (all dlcs) do I still need to dowload 1 as well? How exactly does it work?
I don't know how it works via pirating. When I purchased it on steam it just unlocked mortal empires. I didn't have to install warhammer 1, just owning it in my library unlocked it.
If you ever feel like buying it CA sells everything at full price baseline, but they go on sale for pretty cheap pretty frequently. You can always put alerts on cheapshark too.
what does your pirate source say?
Guess I'll see for myself in 40gb of downloading, but if I'm reading correctly and it's related to having it in your steam library, probably not
I know it's scummy to pirate, but I don't have the 60+ to drop on a game right now
well that's the latest build, and the combined map is considered DLC. When you start the game Vortex is just warhammer 2 races, mortal empires is every single race ever released. Vortex campaign isn't bad, its just missing many races, most people exclusively play mortal empires.
Yeah they leave the base game at 60 dollars, but it goes on sale for 15-20 bucks most every sale. I've bought almost all the DLC and it's probably cost me 100 dollars even buying it all on sale. If you can't afford it you can't afford it.
it's a pretty deep game. I've dumped a ton of time into it pic related.
No. Most factions are pretty straight forward tropes
>30 years war germans are 30 years war german, but edgy
>arthurian knights are arthurian knights, but french and with a peasant abuse fetish
>High elves are typical high elves
>dwarves are typical dwarves
>wood elves are typical wood elves
>dark elves are typical dark elves
>vampires and necromancers are typical vampires and necromancers
>crazy scientist ratman are crazy scientist ratman
>evil god vikings are evil god vikings
>south american dinosaurs are south american dinosaurs
You get the idea.
im playing warhammer 2 again after a few years and you should be warned if you like to learn specific mechanics and such, this game is fricking horrible at teaching players. I would recommend looking at all the tooltips and such. Find a good forum post for all the stats and then stick to one faction so you learn stuff. I would probably recommend hard campaign and normal battle difficulty for your first time. That will probably make you restart your campaign at least once, but you are probably already doing that because of poorly explained design. Consider playing battles at half speed so you don't get swamped. A good rule of thumb is try to keep your income at 800 or above, in terms of balancing army upkeep and building your faction.
I actually like mods in this game. Adjusting combat, extra units, randomizing starting locations
are there any mods that make the game actually challenging so the ai cant be cheesed by the player just playing the game normally?
Are there any mods for you to stop being moronic?
yes there are mods that limit monsters ai and you can use
Yes, you can play SFO if you hate fun.
>Be 40k fan.
>Don't really give a shit about fantasy.
>WH1 trailer is released.
>Become interested, but figured that it was all just generic fantasy crap because it didn't have an overarching plotline or pre-history like in 40k with the horus heresy.
>Started reading the lore.
>Listened to hours and hours of lore videos on youtube.
>Read books while playing the game.
>Now I like fantasy more than 40k.
>Still dislike Age of Shitmar.
It's a perfect introduction to the world. If you're interested in a faction or want to know more you can just look up lore videos on youtube.
Like with 40k it's an ocean of lore that is just 2m deep, so you get get a firm grasp on each character, faction and their motivations at a glance.
Basically there's order factions (humans, high elves, dwarfs, lizardmen) fighting against chaos (Beastmen, Norsca, [Chaos]) and then there are destruction races that just want to break peoples shit (Ogres, Greenskins) and the rest are just self serving buttholes who will align with anyone and anything to get their way (Wood elves, vampires, Dark elves, Tomb Kings).
Each faction have their own flavor.
It's good fun.
why think warhammer bad when its name is literally in warhammer 40k title? of course warhammer would have the same deep lore as 40k cause it is warhammer just in space
I don't know.
WH40k has a great hook, great aesthetics and had that grimdark vibe that would make any edgy teenager instantly interested.
Fantasy didn't have that. I was just never properly introduced before the TW game.
40k is a space epic, spanning 1000's of years with instantly recognizeable characters with godlike powers and an absolute shittone of variety.
reminder to pirate the dlc guys
Vampirate Vortex or Greenskin ME for my next campaign?
greenskins skarsnik
No. The units good in tabletop are dogshit in total war and vice versa and everything between. Brettonian knights for instance often accomplish less than brettonian peasant archers simply because archers>cav for some dumb reason
