Triskelli posted:Eighth Edition, which TW:WH is based on. There's a special rule called Vampiric that keeps them from crumbling when the general dies. I guess leadership tests still caused a drop in health. Yeah, that was in other editions too. Vampiric units crumble slower after the general's death but still fall under the usual undead rules about not taking break tests and just take a no saves wound per point they lost combat by.

From the updatequote:Campaign AI is now less likely to offer money and more likely to sign more alliances. Seems like this would help the Empire the most? I wonder if it affects trade agreements.

Having decided now was a good time to start a Vampire Campaign+blood, definitely seeing some new events, both the bloody DLC variety and the Orc respawn one.

Is the DirectX 12 Beta only for AMD cards? The option is greyed out for me and I use an NVIDIA GTX 960

Having multiple casters in an army seems prohibitive since they share the same pool of magic. The only exception is possibly VCs because being able to use Invocation of Nehek on two blobs of units simultaneously is probably worth it. Do Runesmiths share cooldowns? If they don't, I could see having two Runesmiths more worth it because they could buff armor/ward saves almost continuously.

Why do Vampires get lore of Death and Necros get Lore of Vampires anyhow? There's literally no reason to build Necromancers as anything but economy agents that I can see; your lord has Vampire Lore covered and your Vampire heroes have Death.

I'm curious if the blood animations will have any effect on the effectiveness of units due to animation lock (particularly large units like the giant).

Ravenfood posted:Running multiple Vampires is (was?) totally worth it in campaign for being able to spam Bjuna/Leech really quickly. Once they get decently leveled they each bring +15 to your reserve (so 2 casts of leech or 1 of Bjuna) and they can fight well unlike the other casters. I can't see anyone else bringing multiple casters with much frequency, though. Lore of vampires is more accurately necromancy which isn't the same as death magic. All of their legendary lords or generals use necromancy to create the undead armies, so thematically anyone capable of being a general has access to the lore. Necromancers also get it. Vampires don't just to distinguish them and give them a more unique role.

Does effects quality affect the gore effects? I remember Attila had blood sprays on the actual landscape, but in warhams it looks more like the medieval 2 battle damaged unit look.

BLOOD Why won't you die?  Better cover that head  Instagib landing  A Vampire Lord's Wind of Death rips through a poor quarreler, brutal.  MY BREATH IS DEATH  FIRE AND BLOOD  Blood spurts from a Greatswordsman after an unsuccesful duel with a Manticore  What could this be!?  dear  Chunks of frozen blood shatter under the Giant's ice breath  A stray hellcannon shot obliterates a group of Greatswords

I checked the CA website and it had a list of cards compatible for dx12. The 960 and 970 are on there. There is a second column however for some feature not sure what that says yes beside each amd card and no beside each Nvidia card.

OK so does anyone have some starting tips for a newbie player? The advisor is asking me to start a war with a faction I've never met before while I still have all of one army and that seems... a bit dumb, to be honest.

For whatever reason, they didn't enable it for Nvidia cards (probably because the 700/900 series is apparently pretty poo poo at it).

Yeah, dual 760s here and the DX12 option is greyed out for me as well. Maybe they're relying heavily on async compute and are just flat out disabling it unless your card is good at it (i.e., unless it's any of AMD's recent offerings or a Pascal card)?

Does windows 10 cause issues with gaming? I know that 8 had big compatibility issues for a while, but I've been thinking of upgrading to 10 to be able to use DX12. Anyone have advice on whether or not it's worth it?

W10's been fine so far, and DX12 looks to be a big boost for this. I'd guess that their non-async compute codepath isn't done yet, and turning it on causes a performance regression on pre-Pascal NV cards, so they aren't giving the option yet. I know Ashes of the singularity has a non-async codepath for those cards that's actually the only vendor specific code. Also I'm going to be smug about flipping my 970 for a 290 when there were good deals.

Noticed quite a drop in performance, and ive had one crash already.. not so good for me, thinking i need to upgrade over here and for the first time ever im actually considering AMD over nvidia/intel. Im with a 970 on a 2500k i5 OC'd to 4.5 GHZ if that helps.. also just using Win 7 64 bit so not even elligible for DX12.

So the new blood DLC adds new campaign events to "encourage more slaughter" if you get it. What sort of events have people seen so far?
