A singular dwarf is actually quite aerodynamic. Multiple dwarfs in a tight formation, not so much. This post was brought to you by The Imperial Department of Physics and Moustache Waxing at Nuln University.

Phi230 posted:When have I ever claimed that whfb was deep or nuanced. Meh, I'm just trying to be a little funny. I think the misunderstanding stems from Phi230 posted:Its unrealistic AND looks like poo poo. To me this statement implies that Warcraft is "cartoonish" and "goofy", which it is indeed. It also implies that Warhammer is not "cartoonish" and "goofy", and that Warcraft would be a preferred alternative. Therefore you seem to be communicating that Warhammer is "realistic" and "serious" instead of "cartoonish" and "goofy". The mistaken assumption I made was that Warhammer being "realistic" and "serious" would imply that it is also "deep" and "nuanced". Which is patently untrue, and I do apologize for the error. In fact the deepest and most nuanced media I've seen in the past few months have all been goofy cartoons or could be described as "cartoonishly goofy" So I guess I should leave you alone. If you enjoy a realistic, shallow, serious and boring experience then by all means go enjoy that. Like paint drying. Because you never seem to have fun posting here.

Triskelli posted:I have my reservations about how pronounced the knockdown on dwarfs. On the tabletop the Dwarfs all have an innate resistance to being charged, but based on these unit cards only Longbeards and Ironbreakers can stand up to any sort of charge. I mean granted we've got a worst case scenario for the Dwarfs in this video but outside of Ungrim Ironfist I don't think I saw a dwarf stay standing when it could've been knocked down. It wouldn't be so bad, but then the bombs dropped by the Gyrobomber didn't cause any knockdown that I could see, which feels like an especially nasty double standard. All shielded Dwarf units do have charge resistance, it's noted on their unit card. Thunderers specifically don't have that protection. Also bear in mind that these aren't run of the mill Cav here, these are Chaos Knights with lances, which glancing at their stat card are probably just a notch behind Grail Knights as the most powerful shock cavalry currently in the game, 74 Charge is some crazy bullshit. The majority of Cav units wouldn't have nearly the same impact, and nearly any unbraced infantry unit would melt in the face of a full-on charge from those things, dwarves and flying physics or no.

I'm going to edit all the dwarven unit names to states in the south, and laugh when my progressive as gently caress chaos cavalry sends the republican Missourians and georgians flying through the air.

madmac posted:All shielded Dwarf units do have charge resistance, it's noted on their unit card. Thunderers specifically don't have that protection. Yeah, extraordinary circumstances and all that. It's just that in the rulebook "Shieldwall" was even applied to units without shields like Hammerers, and the units that still have shields like Thunderers don't have it. Still, it's impossible to pass judgement on this sort of thing until we've got the game in our hands.

Am I the only one who thinks the fighting in the battles looks really boring? Bad physics, no blood, no hit effects when the dwarves are pounding on the centaur creature in the Kholek Suneater Let's Play.

So I've never played Total War, and in fact the only rts I've ever played was Starcraft 2 (and even then I wasn't that great at it). How harsh is the learning curve? I wanna WAAAGH mah way inta some sof' hummies.

Phi230 posted:Others have said the charge looks stupid Yeah, one other person. Then you went all "BOY HE 'BOUT TO DO IT" FutonForensic posted:Assuming there wasn't one made already: The cape looks like rear end sure, but here's the thing: CA wants a game that runs. SO that mean they can only pull off one or two transform nodes for every cape. Just like they aren't going to write a specific physics function for dorf's because they're trying to ship a game. Dorf's are smaller than humies, so the effect is more pronounced. Maybe there's a variable they could tweak to down down how much they fly, but idk. They've had to take out the whole individual animation thing, both for optimization reasons and because of poo poo like "one dude bugs up and the whole unit is screwed". Frankly, I like it better this way. IMO Rome 2 and Attila are dull as hell to watch. It's nit-picky to bitch about the animations but a fair thing to criticize. But mainly, and I think I speak for most of us here, its rad as gently caress to watch Dorf Bowling, and y'all need to recognize. EDIT: Blood will come with a nice $10-15 surcharge. I never felt it was necessary for previous titles but Total Warhammer deffo needs it.

Well if enough Khorne demons/worshipers start loving up a place then that is what should happen in the base game.

I'm guessing Dwarf infantry will have a whole mess of abilities which increase the unit's mass, like brace and shield wall, which should mitigate a lot of their aerodynamics.

I wanna WAAAGH mah way inta some sof' hummies. To counter what others have said, consider starting with Shogun 2 first. There's a lot of little things peculiar to the Total War games unlike every other RTS that people in this thread take for granted, and it looks like Warhammer will be another big dollop of complexity on top.
