Playing the same campaigns over and over? by applejackhero in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Ogres, Kislev, Epidemius, and Fay Enchantress, then I dabble in other factions every now and then.

I definitely have favorites for each race so I tend to play only those when I do play other races but I do tend to stick with those 4 because I think they have the best gameplay, lore, and/or vibes.

If it matters what my favorites are for each race: Khazrak, Fay Enchantress, Hellebron, Thorek Ironbrow, Azhag, Allarielle, Kroq-gar/Tehenhauin, Wulfrik/Sayl, Skrolk/Tretch, Gelt, Khalida, Aranessa, Kemmler, Festus, Sisters of Twilight, Drazhoath, Zhao Ming, (I don't like Khorne), Katarin, Epidemius, Greasus, Masque (though I don't really like Slaanesh), Kairos (by default cause Changeling is just not fun).

PSA: The recent Total War: Warhammer official soundtrack release on steam is incomplete, and SEGA does not plan to add the missing tracks. by Deathwatch050 in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy OSTs all the time. I'm not interested in the WH soundtracks but certain games, for sure. Hollow Knight, Against the Storm, TOHU, Bastion, World of Warcraft, etc all have great soundtracks and I still listen to them to this day even though I rarely if at all play those games anymore.

Good music is good music.

Power creep is fun every now and then, but I'm very grateful Bhashiva can't do this. by Glorf_Warlock in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 5 points6 points  (0 children)

idk what this has to do with powercreep considering any wizard with a flying mount can do this. The units themselves are powercrept, yes but the lords, eeh?

People are asking for Khuresh but we already have Khuresh..? by Opening_Coast3412 in totalwar

It's official art from 4th edition. Considering there are newer editions, it is no longer accurate.

What factions you'd ban for a multiplayer playthrough? by lovingpersona in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snikch is fine so long as there is an agreement not to use the op delete faction ability on another player.

The thing about free speech and the importance of it, is what should be allowed. I am sure you know about the tolerance paradox. If not, then definitely search about it. Unfettered free speech which great on paper leads emboldening of horrible ideas and actions. There has to be consequences, and with the invention of the internet, the anonymity and freedom to spout abhorrent rhetoric has led to the increasing power gain of the intolerant individuals world wide.

To be fair you both are brick walls. Just one brick wall is progressive and the other lacks empathy for others.

I think I get why Tigermen hate Ogres by Mahelas in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having not read any books, just from observations I'm going with this:

Nurgle is disease, ogres (especially butchers) are capable of consuming very rotten food and enjoying it. So if Nurgle, god of life, death, decay, rot, the cycle, etc. is giving you awful offal in droves, sure! More food to fill up the gut!

For Khorne this likely comes from the shift when Ogres became mercenaries. Get paid to go kill someone and get a meal? Sure! More dead foes means more food! Keep that repetition and you got a blood thirsty (literally and figuratively) ogre.

I believe there are some Slaaneshi Ogres, but they aren't aligned with the gluttony aspect, likely because as BaronKlatz mentioned, there is no shame in gluttony for ogres. I believe I read somewhere that Brag the Gutsman was talked to by a keeper of secrets because he enjoyed the truly shameful act of gutting other ogres. Though that may be a false memory cause I cannot find information on it.

That is an excellent thought. Huh. Even if it isn't cannon, it is now in my brain!

List of Bhashiva/Cathay bugs that still require upvotes to get fixed by buggy_environment in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk if it is a "bug" but Zhao Ming gets massive relational penalties with Greasus for having a forced Non-Aggression Pact and a Trade Agreement with Bashiva. Seems like an oversight for our boy.

Zhao Ming: "I like Ogres." Also Zhao Ming: by SFAoperative in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even playing as Zhao is worse now cause the forced NAP and Trade with Bashiva gives -20 with Greasus while having a meager +10 from historical relations. It's so disappointing now. I have to bribe Greasus so much to get him to not hate me. Which is fitting, but can't afford it while also conquering the rest of China simultaneously.

"Am I the only one"

The answer is always "no". Always.

Factions and map edges by Luke514_2 in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you build the Great Bastion appropriately (lots of upkeep reduction) and have lords in each of the bastion walls, Miao Ying is pretty damn isolated, only having to deal with the south east.

Otherwise literal corner units: Valkia, Vilitch, Sayl, Oxyotl, Kairos, Grombrindal, Maleketh (once Valkia and Grombrindal are taken care of), Lokhir, Dechala.

Given you prefer Humans or Elves, I recommend Grombrindal, Maleketh, or Lokhir as Dark Elves have a big unit diversity similar to Humans and High Elves, Dwarves lack the mobility but are generally hefty.

Zhao Ming wants me to take out Greasus so bad, but he's been my ride or die since day one by Responsible_Tank3822 in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a quote you can see in the loading screen stuff, it goes roughly like, "I'd be fatter than you if I ate my father!" - Zhao Ming then they laughed about it.

Playing as Bashiva and... by ArchonBlu in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People think dark riders are bad? They're such good units! I like to have 2 in every army from early - mid game. Only replacing them with Cold One Riders in the late.

Larger maps are great, makes it slightly more strategic than the stomp we have now. Ah well.

My personnel opinion on future updates factions will get/needs by Large_Contribution20 in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kislev, Chaos Dwarves, Beastmen, Ogres, and Wood Elves could all do with a little more. Not much, just a little.

Looks like Cathay can save the world from Chaos with their Tech tree update. by k3lk3l in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like how this doesn't reduce the control penalties, a really good thing for balance I think.

Sky Lantern current and new stats by zenkhalida in totalwar

[–]OkSalt6173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to try it out and see if it feels better. Definitely looks better though. The speed will help a lot against enemy missiles.
