Should i buy warhammer 2 or 3?

the oc chink faction lmao

get 3 and then buy a legendary lord dlc that you like the look of and start with that, thats ALOT of content already

3 and then pirate every dlc because why not

3

Depends:

2 has better sieges (at least less cancerous than 3)
better colors and atmosphere

3 has more interesting mods, a few QOL, reworked races should they be satisfactory for you, Kislev is now bearable albeit boring on the combat side. Ogres are fun as fuck, same as chorfs tho it's the same campaign for them And 3 alone garantees access to the big 1/2/3 campaign. But the colors are too bright and sieges are horrid.

Either way pirate the DLCS

Buy neither. Total War fantasy ruined the total war franchise.

kislev is now bearable

heh

better than before

what are some good mods

Removing sieges. That's it.

better camera
victory condition overall
Legendary Lord
Custom factions with custom audios
OVN lost world

victory conditions overhaul

3, all the content from 1 and 2 is integrated into 3. If you're just starting out, get 3 and any DLC with lords / factions that you're interested in. You do get access to the entire fuckhuge campaign map with 3 alone though, that's pretty nice. It's just other factions you won't have access to unless you buy the games / DLCs those come from.

nobody cares

Legendary Lord

Legendary Lords of Legendary Mastery Enhanced or Legendary Lords Defeat Traits Rework by Mortrau?

meant legendary Lore I am le retard

Bearable in the same way constipation is more tolerable than diarrhea. Ice Guard still feel like glass, Boris still gets clowned by Chaos early, and their devs still forgot tech trees exist. Only saving grace is their music slaps and the bears look funny when they slide into combat like it's Mario Kart.

legendary Lore

Baller, don't know why I didn't subscribe to this sooner

Disable diplomacy camera auto focus

how are sieges worse compared to 2?

The currency, pathfinding, etc. everything is worse

Might I also suggest ultimate lighting 2.0 (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2922534576&searchtext=color)? Eases on the bright colors and gives a more grounded feel to the game. Also Good UI (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3071058010&searchtext=good UI) which makes navigating the characters levelling system much more pleasant in my opinion.

the siege maps got more intricate inside meaning the old AI pathing easily gets stuck. There's also a nasty bug at the gates where the ennemies open it then close it either entrapping a few unit inside or turning the door impossible to damage. Add to these roadblocks defensive buildings like barricades or tower shooting your troops aimlessly wondering it gets pretty tiring

Don't get it twisted. The sieges are bad in all the games. They're just slightly worse in game 3 because of tower defense mechanics.
Game 3 is overall an upgrade to game 2.

Warhammer 1 + 2 + 3 if you want all base factions lol. They carry over.

Nah he's right. I keep trying to get into it, but I end up going back and playing medieval, shogun, empire or rome. The micromanaging of heroes is just ridiculous.

ultimate lighting 2.0

Damn actually looks good, I think I'll start another very hard campaign just to enjoy that.

dunno who I feel like playing so just rolling for myself
0-2 dwarves
3-5 greenskins
6-8 tomb kings
9 rats

Sieges were always bad in WH2 but at least they were easy to cheese (with strategies like moving a stealthed unit to the victory point or bombarding the AI's unmoving units with artillery) so at least you could effectively skip them with a couple minutes' tedium. WH3 not only reworked them to be even worse by forcing you to micro three or four battles at the same time and buffing defensive fortifications to the moon, but also went out of its way to remove cheesy strategies (for example, all fortifications automatically reveal stealthed units in a large radius around them, and you can't take the victory point at all without taking the midway leadership point first) so you're forced to slog through them the hard way. Walls are also valued very highly by the autoresolve algorithm so you can't skip them that way either without either accepting that you're going to lose units or being forced to commit overwhelming force. It was far, far worse at launch when literally every single settlement was a minor settlement siege, though. That was pure insanity.

Or 0-9 you play Medieval TW: 2?

pirate the DLCs

I don't think WH3 is cracked.

is there any reason to play TWH3 when none of the new factions or gameplay changes interest me? Im still going through TWH2

3 and pirate everything else.
Do wait until Thursday though, its going to be the annual Warhammer vidya event so the game should be on sale.

the new greenskin lord is super fun because he allows themed armies with his plans, the waag magics got reworked (gaze of Mork is DUAL LASER AMBER SPEAR)

the base game isn't but you can creamapi the dlc with a legit game

victory condition overall

cannot be fucking understated how much this improves the game

creamapi the dlc

God I'm a brainlet with this stuff, I sucecssfully did it for Crusader Kings 3 but was just blindly dragging and dropping files until it worked kek

ok give me a few mins am gonna give you the rar of creaminstaller it does everything 4u (unlike parajew games all the dlc files are already preinstalled).

I went on a binge playing total war: rome 2 a week ago so I'm feeling the itch to play some old world fantasy. I should reinstall medieval tw2.

The Empire is unironically one of the best human factions in any fantasy setting so its easy to see why they're so addicting to play.

BUY WARHAMMER 3 FROM SOME KEYSITE OR SOME SHIT SO CA DOESN'T GET A DIME (OR PIRATE IT)
DOWNLOAD CREAMAPI FROM CS.RIN.RU WHICH UNLOCKS ALL THE CONTENT OF WARHAMMER 2 AND 1 (THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO HALF OPTIMIZE THE FILESIZE SO THAT'S WHY IT MANAGES TO NOT BE BLOATEDLY LARGE WHILE CONTAINING ALL 3 GAMES)
????
PROFIT (BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO PLAY A CA GAME)

THE NATION CALLS

God damn I fucking loved combined arms

oh cool, thanks anon. I appreciate it.

So just a case of running the installer with my clean copy?

The Empire is unironically one of the best human factions in any fantasy settin

every faction in whfb has some weird gimmick with magic or dark powers
the empire doesnt
it has a bunch of looney wizards, but it has FAITH, STEEL and GUNPOWDER first.

god bless creamapi, time to execute DA PLAN

They force you to take more objectives and there are a lot more bugs. One that pisses me off is that the AI can sometimes just shoot you through the floor when they are on the wall but you can't do it to them

Today I will play a Karl Franz campaign

Wait, hang on a sec, he doesn't get Amethyst Helstorm Rocket Batteries does he

Today I will play an Amethyst Rocket Battery campaign (you also get some loony bint on a dragon taking up a corner of the screen as your "legendary lord" whatever that means)

Why would you ever play anything else?

Empire is fun at first but I always get bored by turn 20.
Same with some other factions.

indeed, it works with most games like Like a Dragon Gaiden. Some like parajew need the dlc files but as I've said TTW has them so you can face the new races in battle.

the squig ones are bonker

Total warmaiden.

holy kino, I love the order factions

I still have dozens of pages of my RP pages that I write as I do my Empire campaigns. In my current mod setup (which includes recruiting defeated faction leaders) Festus usually conquers Hochland and Middenland gets shafted shortly afterwards.

Sieges are fun in TW Pharaoh though. Babylon map is especially good

Warhammer 3 because Dawi are absurdly overpowered

I used to do stuff like this too back in the day but only in my head

CS.RIN.RU

Haha no
