Would you say an empire dwarf numerically equal battle puts the empire in disadvantage? Or is it an army composition thing. So what you're saying is swordsmen against dwarf ain't too useful?

Well, basically against any factions. Empire plays much like the other total war games before as they're human faction. In any case, during the early period (before turn 80-90) it's better use to find trade partners and non-aggression pact. If you have to go to war with anyone, just go to war until you can have peace treaty.

You will need alliances by the time Chaos comes down (around 90 turn) so even if you go to war with Dwarfs now, don't totally destroy them.

In terms of army composition, I usually have 8 spears, 4 swords, 2 heroes (captain and wizard which got for free after completing quest), reiksguard (the starting one) and the rest missile.

Even when you're attacking, just move your army until missile range then stop. Once you're in misile range, the AI will move towards you and just defence. If you can use magic just use them to buff your centre or where the action took place. Use reiksguard first to take out the AI missle/arttilery the do the hammer/anvil tactic.

Usually spearmen (including halberdiers when you can recruit them) in the centre while swords in the flank.

Don't know whether that still apply to other factions though. May start Dwarfs faction tonight, or maybe continue with Empire until after raya when hopefully my new pc can be ready. biggrin.gif

Hmm yeah Empire compared to other races probably except the Vampire counts undead army is the weakest unit to unit. I've been playing it too much like Total War against other hummies. Now the real challenge begins against the Dwarf. I'll definitely not destroy them all.

Considered playing Greenskins? rolleyes.gif I might do a Greenskin campaign after my Empire game. The thought of constant warfare... Hmmm might be my kinda thing.

Greenskins maybe after Dwarfs.

Anyway still tempted to continue Empire campaigns, just to unlock some Steam achievements. rclxms.gif

Pretty much going to play tonight ... until dawn. Then sleep whole day tomorrow. biggrin.gif

Guess that the decision to continue with the Empire campaign turns out the beast. I'm currently in third stage now. First was winning the campaign. Second was destroying the remnants of Vargs and Skeling and also destroying Greenskins.

Now since that the enemies are gone, the alliance is breaking up. Finish up all the quests for Balthazar and Karl Franz.

First time playing Total War games where there's more than just completing the campaigns. Other games were pretty bored after winning the campaign since it's just about turning the map into your faction colors. The quests in Warhammer reminds me of the old games Shadow of the Horned Rats and Dark Omen.

Loving it.

Honestly was expecting something else. Such a big deal for a blood and gore DLC ah? doh.gif

BTW I have inside knowledge that Total War: WARHAMMER is Creative Assembly's best selling game to date. By a far margin. How did I get this info... secret. whistling.gif

yes blood is a must for games like this, even though it can be abit comical with the sprays. i'm not surprised since Warhammer bring lots of fans, and this title is most accessible to date, not mention runs better than TW:A biggrin.gif

well this game does attract people who never played a TW game but are Warhammer fans.Its also the first Non historic TW game so people are curious about it. Im not Warhammer fan,dont know anything about it but i am really loving this game,been waiting for the blood n gore or as they call it blood for blood god dlc.
i dont mind buying it only rm 8 now,i understand why its charge due to the rating system. Alot of people complaining dont understand why its not in the base game though,could it be cheaper yes but as u know they love money.I also dont mind paying for new DLC like for example Fall of samurai or age or charmagne etc those full fledge game add on,i dont like the race pack thou where its just couple of unit that needs to stop.If CA want to do that they should release like 5 clans or something at once for the price of 1.

according to steam spy the game currently has sold on steam for : 747,713. i know you can get it outside of steam but still, Atilla has sold 757,060 so far. so on steam atleast TW:W is still the least selling TW game for now,but with more DLC N FLC to come out not to mention this game just release im sure it will be in the million range by end of the year especially if theres a discount. All the other TW games except for Atilla are in the range of 1.5 million and above but those game came ot a long time ago so its unfair to compare.

I really hope next TW game is warring state of china or ROTK china but i prefer warring state need to act out my favourite manga Kingdom haha.

yea bro, the race packs feel copypasta in Attila. But the ones with campaign like Charmagne are good. for Attila I came in late so the blood pack was only RM3 on a sale. and also got Empires of Sand + Slavic Nations for free from CA tongue.gif

warring state of china has been asked so many times haha. curious why CA does not approach it since we have Shogun.

yeah but lucky we know we are getting a new Historic Total War along with TW Warhammer so hopefully new area(please be warring state of china)Theres 4 team now in CA 1 doing Warhammer stuff,another is doing TW Arena,another is making Halo wars 2 and last one is currently working on the Historic TW so that sounds good to me,we dont have to wait too long since Warhammer is a trilogy whatever that means as in Fall of samurai style or Warhammer 2 and 3.
