      It launched in a bad state, with bugs/performance issues and a shit campaign. Once IE came out people generally liked it but it shone more light on the parts that are half-baked like the Ogre Kingdom or the older races not having as interesting mechanics.

        >Paid DLC
        But trying to map manage the Ogres has been total cancer so far. Like I get the Camps are very key, but it feels like the Meat Production buildings in regular settlements do not work, and this is after making sure a single, full stack of ogres stays in the area for one turn and fully upgraded meat. Also those bounty mechanics being completely useless and nonsensical. "Hey, you get 3 options for bounties, and they always involve doing something for your enemies and fricking over your allies. Have fun!"

        I thought I wouldn't care because Ogres have powerful low-tier Infantry, but because of the issues of low gold-production, meat production, and immovable camps, they have to sit there while other empires (especially Greenskins and the Zombie-Frickers for Greasus) snowball like maniacs, even taking into consideration of raiding and sacking while Camps grow. In other words, Ogres are not fun on the map.

          Ogres will get a rework at some point, but probably 3 years from now given the glacial rate at which CA releases patches.

      Because the only good thing about this game is the miao ying mod(you know which one anons).
      Everything else is the same casualized shit Ca ha been peddling since getting into fantasy. Super fast battles and moba heroes where tactics terrain and strategy don't matter just spamming Op doomstacks and Op magics does.

      We need a proper return to historical ( no i don't count three kingdoms aka chinese capeshit with invincible heroes masquerading as historical figures as historical) titles like Shogun 2 to have good total war back.

      Hyenas draining off the competent staff fricked it.
      2 had a shaky start and initial campaign that wasn't well liked, but Mortal Empires came out after a month and kept it alive, and the DLC team started to steadily fix the most glaring issues.
      It took six months for IE to come out for 3, and that problem was compounded by the fact that, unlike the vortex campaign, the Ursun campaign couldn't simply be ignored; you were forced into building tall and immediately jumping into a portal, because waiting too long could lose you the campaign and the AI cheated like a motherfricker.

    The map is great, the armies are great. It was beyond buggy on release, now it's playable but bizarrely not as responsive at Warhammer 2. I just don't understand how it could have gotten worse from a previous installment.

    The siege maps prevent me from playing. The maps are way too big. There is no benefit to the defender to splitting up your units and instead turtling on a single point. As an attacker the massive sprawling map is far too large manger, while at the same time being only made up of small corridors without any maneuver space. I've played 3 different campaigns lately and it all devolves into pile of violence blobs.

    I keep hoping they'll redo every single siege map to be smaller and more open like they were in WH2, but I seriously doubt it. It's gonna get culled like they did Three Kingdoms.

        I usually play Aranessa with Nanu's mod. It's unbalanced mess but it's a funny gimmick that at least brings her some kind of Man of War feel, since Sartosa can have Living creatures ( Human, dwarfs, living crabs ) and usual Undead ones. Also Pseudo Legendary lords are actually pseudo legendary with their own unique building chains.

      After a while Sandbox games without any purpose are getting really boring and WH2 base vortex campaign as bad as it was, was still better than RoC (vampire Coast campaign, tomb Kings or any other dlc campaigns were quite eng aging, and its not there in WH3). There are also mods which can make your gameplay experience more appealing for example I'd never play Cathay for more than couple of turns if not Lazy's Miao Corruption.

              This is the shit i hate about total war franchises.

              Ive played since the original shogun. they just cant design a good game so its just more "lol obvious cheats for difficulty cause we cant fricking program an AI for shit!"

              I uninstalled when a faction had one province, i killed like 2 fullstacks during a war, and those frickers had ANOTHER 2 FULL STACKS on the very next turn. Thats not even fricking possible and i hate these games so much now.

                In fairness, vampires are supposed to be able to raise an army rapidly.
                The issue is that with every other vampire faction, this leads to a mid tier lord having a shit tier army that won’t cause many casualties, but with Vlad the shit tier army just makes him even more annoying, since you can’t even tarpit him and wipe the rest of his forces out to kill him via army loss.

      ogres are fine but both of their LLs are awful. Greasus gets mogged by vanilla tyrants and he also has to deal with Ghorst.

            We could fix it in two ways.
            Either via mod and give him his palanquin back...or alternatively wait when Thundertusks are introduced and give him a unique one. With a palanquin with roof over it, his gold and gnoblars giving him a ranged attack in the form of them throwing sharpened scrap at people (and said Thundertusk's freezing breathe and chill aura).

      The problem isn't humans or spearmen. The problem is a general lack of effort when it comes to their historical titles.

      The Warhammer games also have many of the core issues that their other games have
      >shit engine
      >unacceptable loading times
      >complete lack of balance
      >buggy as shit with them refusing to fix shit even years after release
      People simply forgive Warhammer all those mistakes BECAUSE it is the game where small dinos ride bigger dinos and where undead egyptians fight oversized rats and ogres. Each faction/lord has its own somewhat unique playstyle while their historical titles don't bother with any of that.
      Everyone plays basicly the same - They all look the same except for the colors - and instead of doing something interesting they keep chasing trends and popular scenarios even if they aren't suited for their games at all.
      Noone says that a Rome II Total War can't have complex and unique factions.

        The size of this game is a problem, CA plans to make every vanilla lord from both TW1 and TW2 unique but I do understand why its not easy task, every addition to already huge game is another second added to *unacceptable loading times* and another *balance breaking* issue. I wish SEGA would drop Denuvo bullshit but I know its not going to happen and we'll never know how this malware impacted on loading/turn times.

            They do it cause game is 16+ and engine was invented for 13+ or 16+ audience and that's why the game looks so cartoonish, blood packs also look inferior to the rest of game. I can't imagine CA using it in TWWH40k (if they plan to make this game), it was good for historical titles, barely works on softer TWWH but 40k, nah, I can't see it happening. Also they can't do much about it, they work on warscape engine since... Always?

            SFO grimhammer changes a lot in AI behaviour, they tend to make mistakes like overcalculating their strength or campaign movement. Town/village fights are also rarer (due to stronger garrisons I guess) , weaker units are still usable in mid-late game and I love unit cap mechanics for both player & npcs (doomstacks are mistake). There is also some standalone mod by hecleas - AI Overhaul.

              Pretty much tho you can also use Plague Priests (the heroes) to spam Vermintide. Focus fire all your units on enemy cav and don't be afraid to send out Ikit to tank a bit since he can heal a lot with his skills. Oh, and don't get flanked or you're dead meat.
              If you're new at Skaven, you'll probably need to reload tough battles with Brets to get the general idea on how to fight them.

      Depends how much you like the added factions and how much on sale. If you're really into Chaos, Cathay, or Kiev or Ogres, then sure, it might be worth it at like 20% off. It's stand alone campaign is decent for the first go around and then extremely tedious afterwards, not unlike base game Vortex Campaign in 2. As for Immortal Empires I personally feel the added stuff pushes things a little to far into feeling clustered. Empire Campaigns in particular are a shitshow in 3 where you're pretty much guaranteed to be spending the game crawling back up from -5 Imperial Authority.

      I still think they goofed making Belakor some hidden Legendary Lord you unlock during Chaos campaigns as opposed to being his own Legendary Lord. The Build-A-Belakor is a fun gimmick for Daemon Prince but can't really carry him.

          5) Turn SSAO off and Screen Space Reflections off.
          6) Despite also having large performance impact, reducing VFX Detail below High is not advised unless necessary, it negatively impacts readability during battles.
          7) Grass Detail, reduce settings.

          Next, set the following (all users)
          >Depth of Field OFF
          >Vignette OFF
          >Sharpening OFF

          Texture Filtering, Tree/Unit/Terrain/Building Detail, Portholes, and Cloth Simulation all have minimal or no impact on performance. Turning on Unlimited Video Memory may help.

          Other Issues of Note:
          >Turn off TAA if you're getting a shiny/silver effect on units.
          >Insert "-dx11" in launch options may increase FPS for some users on the campaign map.
          >If you see performance issues mid-battle, or during large battles, consider reducing Corpse Lifespan from permanent to 120, 60, or 30.
          >If you're a high-end user having issues on the campaign map with your GPU overheating, clean your fricking case, and manually set the maximum framerate for WH2/WH3 in the nvidia control panel.

          Yeah I do and I've i5-11400, just change paste from time to time on your processor, clean your fan or better, replace default fan with some actually good cooler.

    It wasn't worth the wait whatsoever, but it is pretty good at the moment. It still needs a shitload amount of patches and race reworks, but it's absolutely playable. I desperately want a Kugath rework because I really want to like Nurgle, but Christ he is absolute dogshit compared to the three other gods.

    Is there any reason not to just beeline to the best unit for every faction and use nothing but that for the entire rest of the game?
    Every combined arms army I make ends up shit compared to pure spam. Even pure ranged armies do better without any frontline at all, or maybe a single entity hero or two at most.

      They are usually expensive and in the late game it may be better to field more but cheaper armies, especially with WH3 nerfed supply lines.

      It's called doomstacks and are the meta since the first game.
      That's why mp is more fun than sp since you use more than 2 type of units.

      If you don't have Warhammer 3, you don't have Immortal Empires
      You have Mortal Empires, which is something like half the size of IE

      Are you fricking moronic? None of the recent updates apply to W2, only to W3. W2 is literally worthless garbage.

        The updates are to fix the broken piece of shit game anyway. The only reason to buy 3 is if you really really like one of the factions in it

              That's sad as frick. Imagine wasting that much time on an inferior product.
              Meanwhile I bought the entire franchise for pennies last weekend and I have been having infinite fun for days already, I have enough content to last me a year.

        The battle AI does not change with difficulty. Putting one unit of cav to the side will cause the AI to break off multiple units to chase it around instead of just screening me or bringing their own cav to counter charge. Instead they will charge their cav directly into my anti large units.

    It's okay. Some stuff they changed for races is gay, and most of the WH3 siege additions are awful. The big map is good tho.

    Game is close to being amazing, but i think overall the total war series is pretty shallow mechanics wise
