I doubt CA has any interest in doing a WH40K game, as they would need to almost entirely revamp their game engine. From what I know it is a squad-based game, not generally one with very large units...

There are mods that make summons permanent, though I don't really mind degradation in single player. Permanent summons feels like it would be a bit overpowered, and I don't really want the unit in...

You use 90 mods in total?!

That's completely insane; of course it is going to cause bugs...

I dunno how you people play on VH or Legendary. I find it incredibly tedious and frustrating, and prefer the relaxed casualness of Hard and Normal. :)



Yeah, I ran into the same thing. The...

You are unlocking them in the correct way. You just need to wait one turn for the research to complete, and the new lord will show up in the regular recruitment list.

I doubt anyone can say for...

Of course, there are many additional armies included in unofficial source material which are incomplete/unplayable factions in the official game editions.

But I am almost certain CA is not going...

The initial statement from CA was that TWWIII would have four starting factions, one for each of the gods of chaos. But they have indicated that this is out-of-date, and they have more recently...

How do you perform in smaller battles against the AI?

I'm just asking because I find it really hard to control armies of the size that you've described, and usually in campaigns I will just...

Hi,

I'm well on my way to winning (eventually!) a DE campaign on Hard. I decided to just ignore the rituals and work towards a victory by elimination. But I'm a little confused about what units...

Sorry, I know this thread is old.

I have heard that 40 is a hard-coded limit in the engine that cannot be changed by modders.

I don't know this for a fact.

Your late game army could be 4-6 minotaurs, 4 Cygors, a chariot or two, Gorebull hero, caster hero, and the rest infantry.

The Gorebull is great - I like both the melee attack and armor auras (you...

I'm having trouble with it. I'm always in the red with the negative effects. It seems that between my cities and armies I can't create enough food from buildings or fighting to sustain a high food...

Having played many different iterations of the TW series (going all the way back to the first Shogun!), I will say that for me TWWI and TWWII are the best in the series. Mostly it comes down to...

I'm at around turn 208 on Mazdamundi with Lizardmen on Hard, and I agree the rituals are a somewhat odd mechanic. I'm actually on the 2nd to last ritual but I haven't activated it because I don't...

Well, I restarted with Sigvald on Hard now, and cheesed it by destroying the first building and then getting the one for Chaos Warriors. Then I made a beeline for Empire and knocked them out, and...

Hey, if you like frustration, tedium, and bad game mechanics, then you should definitely play the Chaos campaign!

It features:



Always being outnumbered at least 2 to 1.
Constantly being...

If Skaven are the main focus then...

Total War: Rathammer

I guess there's a parley and they agree to meet outside the settlement so it doesn't get destroyed by raging giants and fireberlz.

Chlodwig I think you actually meant "Soylent Grey".

"I need an expansion base on End Times plot.."

Man, that would be depressing. Everyone loses!

atthias: Interesting you recommend waiting until the end to kill the VC. It seems like they could be vulnerable around turn 40 so you could attack them earlier, especially since the AI of that...

I was more wondering if there were magic items like wands or staves that had ranged attacks in the lore. I'm not aware of them from the WH novels or sourcebooks that I've read. Tactically speaking,...

It seems to me that at least some of the wizards should have a ranged base attack from a wand. Is this not following the lore? It would make them more effective. (I'm not sure if these kinds of...

Why do you suggest to vassalize rather than destroy or confederate? Is there a big advantage to it?

It totally makes sense for dwarves because you can't conquer them. For the human factions, is...

So I started a new Empire campaign, just on Normal to try out some of these strategies. Things are going better than usual! After about turn 6 or 7, I have Reikland consolidated and the Empire...

Well, it seems to me that the current Dwarf/Orc settlements are supposed to represent a (pseudo) underground layer to the map, which is also represented by the movement stance. I think a map with...

Given the current state of the game, the name should be changed to "Total War: Dwarfhammer".

The CA is not even close to one of the worst companies out there.... have much experience with any early access titles lately?

Yeah, that's just what these already OP midgets need....air support bombers! :tongue:

I see your points but it doesn't to me "look and feel better" at 5 FPS and/or low graphics settings. I think they have to make a choice here and engine/PC limitations dictate a maximum reasonable...

Sooo certain quest lines seem reasonable. Archaon's are mostly okay. Some of them are just silly though...why make it so I need 4 shielded minotaur units in my army to get an item? That's just...

I'm at turn 86 on my Hard Chaos playthrough ... stupid Dwarves have 33 settlements. >.<

I get they are strong...that's fine. But it gets tedious having to spend 100+ turns exterminating them in...

I would assume it is hard coded for to engine limitations but maybe one of the modding experts can say for sure...

I love this game, but some things bother me about it. :thumbsdow



Why does everyone always want to confederate with the Empire, even when they have only 1 city?
Why are some of the quest...

Example: Malagor the Dark Omen to get Icon of Villification

Raid a region (fine...easy)
Go to region (okay...fine)
Fight battle (okay, I get the item now right?)
Get 3 shield minotaur units in...

"All decent folk find the common rat repulsive. Harbinger of disease, it scavenges on our waste-heaps and frightens our children. How immeasurably worse then is the foul Skaven - standing on its...

I know I know. No one here knows when the Skaven invasion is coming.

For some reason, I'm so excited/anxious to see this faction implemented. It is going to be so fun lobbing disease bombs,...

So basically you bring along half of a Napoleon Total War army? Nice! I think I need to try this...

Nice, so this is basically your version of my zombie/skeleton disposable fodder armies I bring along when I play VC. :tongue:

I have not seen a mod that lets you recruit dwarf units as Empire, but there is a Southern Realms mod that let's you recruit some dwarf units when playing as the southern realm factions. There is...
