I also hope the diplomacy with the Skaven is people giving them Warpstone and being like "I loving hate you but I also loving hate the Dwarfs so I'll give you this if you go and wreck their poo poo now  " and use them as a way to attack your enemies before you do.

I want their long victory to culminate in building a superlazer and blowing up Morrislieb or something because it obscured their view of the Horned Rat.

I'd imagine they'll be able to take hold of every Old World settlement like the Elves since they tunneled to them all in the End Times, right?

I just heard something in the Lore that said they blew up the moon. Also, I heard a rumor that Cathay's monkey warriors were literally monkeys which makes me wish we get an eventual DLC so I can spam sai wielding golden haired monkeys crashing into the enemies flanks.

Someone mind explaining poison? The last part of the description doesn't make sense. "The poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage, whilst increasing its vigour." Whats that supposed to mean.

The_Angry_Turtle posted:Someone mind explaining poison? The last part of the description doesn't make sense. Yea that is strange wording. It increases the vigor being used up aka more exhausted. So as a unit preforms actions its vigor load (or endurance) goes (example numbers) from 0/100, Fresh to 100/100, Exhausted. The penalties for higher states of exhaustion are pretty high like -20% to melee stats.

Panfilo posted:They could even copy some elements of the amber system (warpstone tokens to gate certain techs based on Skaven clans, but unlike wood elves its only temporary until you assimilate that clan as you unite all of them. So if you were Pestilens you'd get globadiers and other poison units, but would have to pay tokens for Rat Ogres or Warplock Jezzails. This could also mean your agents are based on your clan as well, Warlock Engineer, Assassin, Pack master, etc. Do it backwards so Warpstone is something that harms you if you stockpile it, but that also powers all your good units, so you have to constantly be on a teeter-totter churn to try to balance this finicky poisonous resource.

I was planning on buying the upcoming disk release with the assumption that it was a sort of GotY version with most of the DLC. Someone told me thats not true and its actually just the base game with bretonnia. If thats how it is I should just buy the game now right?

I don't know what's in the Old World edition (or whatever it's called) but the base game is fun and fairly complete. The DLCs add more starting options for the existing factions, and unlock more playable factions (which will appear in the game as AIs even if you don't have the DLC). There are fairly detailed summaries across the past few pages, a lot of people have been asking. I'd say go for it.

Probably best to just buy the base game and then buy DLC later if the content looks interesting as you run across it. Literally everything added through DLC shows up in the main grand campaign - new factions, new races, new units, elite special units are all there for the AI to use and you to fight against. The same holds for multiplayer except with other players using DLC factions instead of the AI.

Give them tons of goblin-tier infantry (but with worse morale), and make everything else they've got absurdly powerful, but with a very, very decent chance of loving their own poo poo up.

No, that starts when Manlet Von Carstein stabs Balthazar Trump in the back for building a great wall around Sylvania while the good guys are making him the embodiment of the wind of metal and the giant fuckup that ensues opens a chaos portal in Altdorf and everyone dies. Morrsleib blowing up just kills off all the factions nobody cares about like Estalia so writers don't have to include them.

Here's how I'd do Skaven. When you recruit a lord he comes with 19 units of free Skavenslaves. Every stack is a full 20 of garbage skaven trash. All units are attachments to your basic swarm of Skavenslave trash. A unit of stormvermin is a rigid formation of elite dudes surrounded by a blob of Skavenslaves. 12 rat ogres backed up by 120 skavenslaves. And so on.

Then they write Archaon killing him easily to avenge what they had to retcon, because in the old Storm of Chaos Grimgor just punched him the gently caress out, declared he wasn't worth killing, and moonwalked off. Which is the appropriate reaction to Archaon.

Yeah, I get the distinct feeling that The End Times was at least in small part GW throwing a tantrum because their Storm of Chaos event (which was an actual tabletop campaign in which the players' collective match results determined how the results played out) went rear end end up when the writers tried to strongarm the greenskins in with the forces of Chaos. The Greenskin players collectively said "gently caress That" and revolted, submitting match after match against chaos - causing the final result to be "Chaos betrayed by greenskins, Grimgor interrupts Archaeon in his moment of victory by headbutting him unconscious and causing the chaos line to fail and rout while Grimgor moonwalks back to the badlands.

There was an event called storm of chaos that was sort of the end times lite and it had to be retconned out of existence because Chaos got their asses kicked (plot was determined by the results of in-store tabletop games) and it ended when Grimgor sneak attacked (ball kicked) Archaon and one shot him.

Orc players did give the middle finger to GW in several moments, like the Storm of Chaos, where they banded together and fought for the Order faction, or the Eye of Terror 40k campaign, where a large coalition of Ork players organized a large movement (da Green Kroosade) and set their own objectives for the campaign instead of following GW's rules for them, with huge success. I think GW stopped doing interactive campaigns after those experiences.
