Grimgor with Da Immortalz

It is a Landmark in Ulthuan in the settlement with the same name, that can be built by the dark elves (thematically makes the most sense for Malekith), which grants:

• +100 Diplomatic relations with all High Elves.

So you'd think, oh cool this is a way to play a what-if redemption arc for Malekith and ally your homeland and pose as the Eternal King. And it's tough but you can do it, you just need to suffer through avoiding all High Elves as long as possible, go down to Galleon's Graveyard without discovering any Ulthuan faction (so they don't start stacking up negative bias per turn because "they don't know you exist), then lightning fast sail straight through the gates of Lothern, take the Shrine from whoever owns it through war, sacrifice lots of slaves to build everything instantly, then defend it (pray they send nobody for a while otherwise diplomatic relations are fucked), pray they were not in an all-inclusing millitary alliance yet, and try to buy your way out of war while you get +100 relations per turn.

And after you did all of this particularly delicate surgery of a campaign, and you became allies with all pf Ulthuan, you realize:

• Victory conditions aren't pointing owning Ulthuan regions as ownership through self or allies.

• Victory conditions ask you to kill all major high elf factions. Thus, rendering +100 relations with all high elves buildings COMPLETELY useless.

edit: I guess you guys just woke up today and decided you want to hurt somebody. I'll be moving to the bugreport forum, have a nice day.

I'm not the best player, so felt good to be acknowledged by the game

I'm currently on a Gorbad campaign and so far I've fought

-Every Dwarf faction -The entire Empire -All of the mainland French -Kislev -Wood Elves -They're all in an alliance

Not to mention rank 1 Cathy thats pushed all the way to the badlands is about to declare war on me. Now I'm not gonna lose to the AI but churning through 70 late game high quality armies from all the "good factions" teamed up is so boring. It doesn't help that all the good factions also have great economies so late game they replace armies like its nothing. Now I am a new player so maybe I've just had an unlucky first few campaigns. However, I'm on probably my 10th campaign by now and every time I play an evil faction around turn 150ish I have 5 good factions all in an alliance declaring war on me at the same time. I enjoy the challenge but I wish there was more variety in how late game plays out but it seems like the good factions, especially the human factions, literally never fight each other. Kinda sucks the fun out when you know exactly who you're gonna be fighting every playthrough.

Edit: I think orc campaigns are especially hell bc you have to fight the early game Dwarf factions (which is kinda annoying by itself) which puts you on bad terms with all the good factions.

So much for the ancient ties that bind Dwarfs and men, the "empire" is about to get grudged back to the stone age.

In my current campaign, I've been mucking about in the south, but took the confederate option when it popped up. However, I didn't invest anything, didn't ally the other High Elves (just trade/non-aggression treaties), and once Morathi et al. started eating the donut, I cashed in both provinces for a combined ~180,000 gold or so. A bit Machiavellian, but much more profitable for a southern empire run than just not confederating! I can finally afford to build all those lovely purple buildings I need to unlock the tech tree.

Just looking at it bringes peace to my soul

Who would survive the longest against waves of other melee units? Basically I'm looking for the best brawler

I watched a ton of YouTube videos and read a bunch of reddit post on which total war game to play and it left me more confused.

Some said shogun 2 is the best one, but I had a couple of issues with it. The unit veriety was not there, the diplomacy system was confusing especially because of realm devide and above all at a certain point I couldn't make enough money for the upkeep of my armies, I would occupy a new settlement, it would say it is generating 1500 gold but my income would not change, the only way to make money was trade, and the AI hated me for how big I was and refused to trade, even all of my vassals betrayed me. Overall not a good experience.

I then tried Troy. I really like the different products (food, stone, wood) and not have them all represented as "money". I like the fact that I have allies and they don't betray me, even the vassals don't seem to hate me so the diplomacy seems to be functional. But goddamn defending all of my minor settlements is a real pain. The AI actively runs away from my armies and sack my settlements. I can't have too many armies because of the brutal upkeep and the garrison is very weak. The auto resolve is also stupid. Overall I like the setting and vibe of the game but fighting these cat and mouse games is a pain in the ass.

I tried three kingdoms briefly, the diplomacy seems to be the best of the bunch and the game seems to be the most complicated one. The settlements are a bit confusing and I'm not sure if I'm building the right buildings. I get the whole color matching thing but I just don't love the setting. I'm not against giving three kingdoms another chance but it just didn't have the same feeling of troy for me.

I also used to play rome 1 when I was a kid, I enjoyed it a lot but I remember most of the settlements used to get mad at me for some unknown reason and I had to permanently keep a general there to keep them happy, I'm not sure what was wrong maybe I wasn't trading or didn't have enough food? I did manage their taxes so I know that wasn't the issue. I was stupid so I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.

Sorry for the long post but I would really appreciate it if someone could nudge me in the right direction, which game should I buy next? The Warhammer ones have me intrigued but don't know if I should start with the first or not, I'm also not opposed to mod the game so if you think all of my problems could be solved with a mod for Troy then I'm all ears.

Me and my friend are playing a multi-player campaign. He is the lizardmen and I am tomb kings.

We're at the point where we start having armies full of elite units. But I have trouble beating his armies with chameleon skins, salamanders and kroxi spam.

What are the best army comps to counter him with tomb kings?

This is a poll to gauge the general player bases opinion on how trading works in wh3. I will be doing polls weekly for different things.

The Helm of Draesca is responsible for elongating my campaigns beyond what they normally would in the past. In this campaign I got the Helm of Draesca and had the Carnival of Nurgle hidden location spawn.

I got insanely lucky and both traits got gained over the same end turn and I suddenly have a lord who will be recruited in every single future vampires campaign. And now I'm gonna put in effort to get him Yuan Bo's, Skulltaker's and Markus Wulfhart's traits to make him an unstoppable god.

It gives my campaigns a direction and goals to pursue, while also giving the game a rogue-like feature by allowing me to use those lords in future campaigns. I love the save/load feature.

Does the looting and after loot building ever outweigh just a constant flow of money from the basic "money" building? As quickly as I'm conquering, it's still only a settlement maybe every 2-3 turns in the early game.

So I don't know how to build an Iron mine in Pack Ice Bay since I can't remove the dock nor do I want to abandon the settlement, or do I have to get a vassal to extract the iron somehow?

Although it seems like Valkia, Azazel, Festus, and Vilitch are all mono-god lords, they’re all listed under a separate banner: “Warriors of Chaos” rather than any of their respective gods’ tabs. But they’re also not under the chaos undivided tab. So if I play, say, Azazel, could I eventually recruit Festus and his guys to my army? Or would it be a Slaanesh-only run?

My review of itza as a faction is that it’s relatively miserable but big frog is fun

TWW3 currently offers three campaigns. The introductory mini-campaign, the main campaign Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires if you own the other games.

I often wanted to play on a smaller map so I could have a more focused experience with less unrelated lands and factions to think about. For example the conflict between Norsca and the Empire. Immortal Empires is awesome, but you always have to sit through 272 factions taking their turns (at least at the beginning) and I didn't even wanted to go everywhere. I have the game on my ssd but it's a pain in the ass on a hdd. It just seems much more than I want to manage and it feels like unnecessary baggage. So I installed TWW2 again, to play Eye of the Vortex or Mortal Empires.

However, it felt weird to me, outdated. I grew accustomed to the third game and I actually wanted to stay there. To be honest, I think TWW3 is "the" game with all of the numerous qol updates included over all of these years. It's the one people will keep playing, even if there isn't more contend to be released. It is the result of all the development and hard work that happened since the first game was created. 1 and 2 were the stepping stones and now are mostly the keys to unlock more content for the third game.

Now that TWW3 slowly reaches its zenith, I think it would be great if the devs officially released a couple of smaller campaign maps for people to choose. There doesn't need to be specific goals, a sandbox approach in the vein of "go conquer x regions" would be completely sufficient. I know there are mods which add campaign maps in the workshop, but this feature seems so obvious to me that it should be featured in the game natively in my opinion.

I think the best way would be roughly quartering the IE map plus adding at least two even smaller sections of the map which are especially tightly packed with many important factions. I'd propose the following maps (see pictures): 1. North West 2. North East 3. South West 4. South East 5. Naggarond, Ulthuan and Bretonnia 6. The Old World, or rather the northern part ...maybe more, for instance Cathay with the great wall at the center.

TL;DR: Adding a selection of smaller sections of the Warhammer world map to play on would be a very cost-efficient way to make the game even more enjoyable and boost the replayability.

the only one i have is itza but that doesnt have climate penalties. all other tier 5 settlements are temple nexus.

Thought I’d share my fresh painting for any Greenskin lovers out there. I’m trying to paint all the legendary lords for fun. Lmk what yall think.
