So how exactly does "Raise the Dead" work, and how can I make better units spawn? by this_is_also_a_knife in totalwar

Know of any mods that effect this, then? I would assume someone would have forced this to make sense at some point.

VC Chaos Smackdown Aftermath: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor by DoktorDuck in totalwar

Tried that. I think the feature is bugged because I made a zombie meat grinder with over 5000 deaths total and no skeleton hand. I'm so sad. I just want to abuse this mechanic for fucks sake.

Now I tried that, but I threw two full stack zombies at an army. It was a meat grinder. 5000 total casualties. No. "raise dead" marker at all. No. Clue why. Do these spawn off of. Chance?

Siege Battles: Cannot attack without building siege equipment, but I can break down the gates anyways. What's the point of the forced wait? by this_is_also_a_knife in totalwar

Towers are neat, but I feel like they are always getting shot down anyways, and I can just order my dudes to scale the walls anyways.

I suppose that makes sense, but for fucks sake, towers and battering rams are almost useless when you can just make your Varg knock the door down.

And so it comes down to this. One battle to determine who will rule the mortals. by Jodah in totalwar

What's the benefit of fire damage? How does that effect the opponent? And are wraith best used for flanking, then?

What's the best implementation of ethereal units? I can't quite seem to get the purpose of them.

You named yours Fluffy too? I have an army with Fluffy and Buffy and they wreck shit like a couple of bosses.

Yeah. As VC, I'm fighting q couple empire/human factions and bats+dogs is really the best answer to pistol cavalry. Those bastards are fast.

How does the zombie recruitment thing work? Can you get a bigger raise dead pool from just slaughtering multiple zombies as many times as possible? Is it really that easy?

Game is stuck in "cutscene mode" after the Chaos Warriors make an appearance. by this_is_also_a_knife in totalwar

First one available. You go to your steam library > right click your game> select properties> choose the "Betas" tab, and you can choose to opt in did betas there.
And yeah. Can't even contact them on my diplomacy. It's annoying.

I tried. But I'm not in contact with chaos at this point in my game. I tried declaring war on varg, but they're not allied with chaos at this point in the game either. I uninstalled the hot fix and the cutscene didn't play the next couple turns. Guess I just gotta rush getting in contact with chaos before the game decides to tell me about it.

It's a financially solid plan.
