I went a few pages back and didn't this mentioned, so here goes: is there a known bug where you use a skill point to buy a mount and the lord never gets the drat mount? Karl Franz is strolling into battle like a plebe when he should be riding about like a fancy-pants Not-Holy Roman Emperor.

Dunno about bugs, but have you checked whether the mount is available on the character screen?

That's because I don't think the earlier videos showed the minicampaign map but the 5-region forest on the grand campaign map.

Seems like the Red Duke of Moussillon got himself a unique model. I would guess it's like Boris Todbringer in Middenland, though it would be cool if they made Moussillon an alternate Vampire start, with the Red Duke as LL.

The Red Duke is a cool dude and I'd buy that for a couple dollars.

They set it up to more readily sacrifice lower than tier units to preserve the your elites. Could that have been it?

I guess so, but that was pretty brutal for such a high chance, and it did tear up some of his higher-tier units pretty bad. Here it is:

They also increased the threshold for an unit to be eliminated from losses taken in battle according to the patch notes.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

Watching these preview videos and seeing full armies literally just running away at full tilt while launching full devastating missile volleys the entire way has been kind of gross. I don't play multi but I feel kind of bad for people who do because that's going to be annoying.

Isn't it just the more expensive, lower unit size archers than have 360 firing and fire while moving?

In theory, Quarrellers should punch above their weight against the high-tier Elven archers though, and I think they still have to pick between poison and AP attacks.

Yeah, but they also have poisoned arrows so good luck catching them unless you're on a horse. I guess you could try to gunline them but they have a bunch of vanguard deploy in faction.

I don't think they'll be unstoppable or crazy overpowered or anything, I just think they'll be extremely obnoxious.

Firing while moving isn't as super amazing as it sounds, it basically just turns the unit into a slower ranged cavalry. Just point some quarrelers at them or whatever.

Guess it sucks if you are playing as VC without a lot of flying units but I suppose you shouldn't do that!

Dwarfs vs Wood Elves was usually a stressful fight for both players on the tabletop, in my experience, so hopefully CA manages to capture that feeling.

I wish they would change the number of kills to health damage dealt or something, number of kills becomes kind of meaningless when one spearman is worth as much as a giant.

Grudge throwers. And if those fail, (well microed) gyrocopters.

Do the move and shoot archers have the same range as most other ranged units? If they do you'll be able to really whittle archer units down with a little micro.

They have a few different kinds of arrowheads, so some will have more range and some will have less.

I lost so many noble treemen to Flaming artillery shots. Stupid Dorfs.

Then again, I twice won against Dorfs because of there stupid Dorf Lords got scared of my terror causing units and ran away from them.

Using Tree Singing to surf your Treeman up to enemy lines ruled lol
