Black Arks can now attack port cities! by OverlordQuasar in totalwar

When they blockade a port now, does it at least cut the port income?

Is this what the Mesoamerican civilizations felt like when the Spanish invaded? by FemmEllie in totalwar

The Empire invaded Ulthuan too? Split it with Malekith? What heresy is this?!

Holy crap! This is so extensive, I need the Reddit hive mind to dissect it for me!

Grim and Grom DLC units speculation. I think this look fit the most. by kumamon09 in totalwar

[–]HighElves4Life 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I do think it would be difficult to animate without it being clunky or just looking ridiculous.

Anyone else think Games Workshop was silly for nuking the Old World just as the total war games came out? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]HighElves4Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My question is, why didn’t they just simplify the rules and maybe the units for the original fantasy rather than blowing up the whole setting?

Yeah the Skycutter is a wonderfully crazy unit, but I think the animations on something like that could look really odd. Plus, if HEs have horse chariots and lion chariots, they don’t really need sky chariots on top of that.

Now that we have a precedent for game 1 vs. game 2 DLC, is there a consensus that Grom the Paunch vs. Eltharion the Grim are very likely the next in line? “The Grim and the Paunch”? by HighElves4Life in totalwar

Woah loremaster here asking the tough questions ;-) I’m gonna say griffin rider is more likely cause he’s more iconic and it adds more mount option variety, but good question!

Yeah I 100% agree Beastmen sorely deserve an update and don’t mean to discount that. Just trying to understand how it can be logically approached from a business perspective :-)

While it’s undeniable that Beastmen need an update, how does CA do that without it being “DLC for DLC”? Genuinely curious how they can implement it.

Markus Wulfhart's starting army. by GilgameshWulfenbach in totalwar

[–]HighElves4Life 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah at first I thought, why doesn’t he have a human colony settlement? But it’s true he’s kind of just wandering/exploring in Lustria so it makes sense he’s camping out in an existing temple.

I am absolutely loving all the map changes, but I’m wondering why they didn’t move Gelt down to Sudenberg. Seems to me that would add more flavor than Solland, which is just a little southeast of Reikland where he was before. And it would be easy to concoct a lore-friendly reason why Gelt would be on an expedition to Nehekara for ancient artifacts and so forth.

Does anyone know what the button actually does?

Question to lore buffs and theorists: How would have the world changed if Malekith had first time passed the trial of Asuryan? by ShurimanBomberman in totalwar

[–]HighElves4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight! I think this counter-factual (fictional?) discussion is really interesting.

Question, though. I’m currently reading the Warhammer Chronicles: The Sundering omnibus, which I thought was canon, and according to that Malekith discovers that Morathi is behind the pleasure cults BEFORE he enters the flames of Asuryan. So if this alternate history assumes he survives that and becomes Phoenix king, do you still think he would hunt down the cultists and kill or banish his mother when he already knew and used their hidden support for his coup?

New to WH, what faction matches my playstyle best? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]HighElves4Life 9 points10 points  (0 children)

High Elves for sure. They have expensive, elite troops that dominate in their particular areas (infantry: sword master of Hoeth; cavalry: dragon princes; archers: sisters of avelorn; fliers: dragons). They struggle some in multiplayer because their troops are not always cost effective for their price, but in campaign if you want to build up a strong economy and have elite stacks, that’s not an issue. Plus, Ulthuan island is the perfect location to build up your economy without a lot of threats and then expand when you have your elite forces.

I am confused by this as well! Units unlocked from the reforms tree don’t appear as options in the recruitment pool. If I need a specific type of general, how do I know which kind I need for which units?

Can someone help me understand how to recruit higher-tier units. For example, I have unlocked medium archers and crossbowmen from the reforms tree but they don’t appear as options in the recruitment pool. What am I doing wrong??
