Hey Mukip, a tourney rules question: does the one RoR you can bring count towards your Core unit quota if it's based on a Core unit?

Is there a mod that removes the diplomatic malus for hard and sets it to the normal difficulty malus?

I like the AI having more resources to make cool armies and defenses but the diplomatic penalty is just stupid. It basically means that it's impossible to play the diplomacy game with some factions.

Hmm I was surprised to find no mods on the workshop for this, so I started poking around for some possible alternatives.

For some help with diplomacy I would put the campaign difficulty on hard and go with:

No Aversion will get rid of the race vs race penalties
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=707537439

Tier 4 Minor Settlements will greatly open up the AI's choices to build cool armies
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700071210

AI buildings and army composition a companion mod made to work with Tier 4 Minor Settlements

Theres also
No Great Power
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=691792448&searchtext=great+power

This removes the "great power" diplomatic penalty entirely from your games.


or if thats too much for you,
Low Great Power Modifier
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=694032700&searchtext=great+power

And this reduces the great power penalty by 75%.

Yes it does. Also I'm going to kick it off now so you can start playing. The player list and rules are here:

Does this mean that the mini-Campaign will be Wood Elves v. Brets rather than Elves v. Beastmen as was previously thought?

Nah, it was always wood elves vs brets which is why people thought they'd drop at roughly the same time.

This game is so much more interesting than any of the previous entries I'm not sure how they can ever go back now. That's not even a knock against their previous games, it's just they did such a fantastic job with the Warhammer license. Also they have enough content to keep this going for years.

I'm sure beastmen will be there, but it would probably be very difficult to structure a minicampaign around fighting a horde faction.

a defensive one similar to WRE/Mongol invasion Shogun campaign would be possible. Basically have one settlement that can't fall r you'll lose vs a number of high tier horde stacks

They went out of their way to namecheck Knights Errant, so hopefully we'll get some interim roster updates for Bretonnia.

It has been known for a while that the Bret roster is getting fleshed out as part of their FLC. Questing Knights, Knights Errant, more LLs. I doubt foot knights will make it in though.

The closed beta ended like 5 months ago and there's only been very sparse news updates since. Yesterday they announced that the World of Tanks folks would be publishing it so I expect more news soon.
So the game hasn't actually been available for play the last several months? :psyduck: It'll basically be dead just from not existing for so long even if they re-launch it.

Agreed, or at least give Charge Defense against All to Empire Halberdiers. A Men-at-Arms' only job is taking long enough to die for the Knights to win the day. Hopefully we do get barricades for the Peasant Archers though.

It's actually always been a Trailer one or two days after the letter, and the game goes up on Steam the day we get the trailer. So big news tomorrow basically.

So far the release is one or two weeks after the announcement/trailer, so we'll probably get it around Dec 1st.

The datamine for the Wood Elf Minicampaign had iirc, Wood Elves, Brets, Beastmen (Morghur) and Greenskins plus a bunch of independent WE factions, so who even knows what it ended up being in the end.

kinda annoying how you have to make a gigantic sea trip to destroy those snotting dudes who declare war on you and peace out when their invading armies get killed off because they think you'll never do a counter amphibious invasion on their peninsula.
