Blooming Brilliant posted:Don't think it was Khorne specifically, it was all of the Chaos Gods. He got the curse/gift after he made a boast that he could best any foe in their name, so the Chaos Gods being cheeky bastards went "yeah sounds good to us, prove it, otherwise we're going to torture your soul for eternity." According to Steam, Wulfrick can call in his magic flying boat as a "wind spell". The animation for that is going to be hilarious.

Do the models on your legendary lords change when you give them new items (I know it changes with themounts)? Because I wish they would implement that somhow. I know medieval 2 had the system where upgraded units changed looks. It was one of those things that made me really love my army.

I didn't catch the stream but apparently mammoths are now the biggest unit in the game? I'm excited to see them in action!!! Wulfrik sounds strong as hell, a Net spell, can mount a mammoth, bound wind spell, strong campaign bonuses. Gonna be hard to pick who to play, Throgg does look incredible though.

the best elf-killing army, annoyingly, is High Elves elves' chief weakness is their small, expensive units of just-as-arrowable-as-your-average-human infantry. High Elven archers have the longest range/highest accuracy bows in the game. Dark Elven crossbows have a little armor piercing, and Glade Guard have a selection of weird tricks they can put into play, but in a straight-up competitive elfmassacre your big winner is going to be the High Elves, courtesy of no extra bells and whistles being required to arrow an elf to death. a Skaven army optimized for the job whose siege engines decide to neither explode or kill a quarter of the skaven army instead could, hypothetically, outpace them, but this has never existed and also will never exist.

I was chatting with a co-worker today about this game. I was mentioning how I love to use tons of Zombies when playing vampire counts when it hit me- I am going to be hopelessly addicted to Skaven. They will have amazing chaff in the Skavenslaves, but unlike the Vampires they will also have my true love in Total War available to them: completely unreasonable numbers of artillery.

We're getting Free-LC with Norsca that adds something to an existing faction I thought? It'd make sense to see some Warriors of Chaos additions alongside Norsca. They're already behind the Beastmen, and now the Norscans look leagues better.

In terms of Legendary Lords I think WE are the most likely as they only have two right now. Edit: I would almost be willing to bet that we will get Valkia for the third game.

To quote the Battletech TCG flavor text: If brute force doesn't solve the problem, then you're not using enough . One problem with chaff armies right now is even seemingly 'expendable' troops still affect the overall morale of the army. I'd like to see it so that expendable troops don't affect this anymore, so a canny player could theoretically throw hordes of chaff at a target to wear it down. This would also help make those types of units more relevant late game as well.

Norsca totally does punk WoC, even though we haven't seen much more than some screenshots and a few blurbs. That's how shoddy WoC is right now. I mean, they already had Beastmen as "Chaos, but better", and now there's Norsca for the one-two punch. Archaon getting poo poo on by game mechanics seems oddly lore-appropriate, but in terms of gameplay? Kind of depressing.

They just need to make it a unit trait. Expendable: Units morale and fleeing does not affect other units morale (or however that would be worded). Units which would have it: Zombies, Peasants, Goblins

They're already behind the Beastmen, and now the Norscans look leagues better. If that's the case I'd say either Chaos or Middenland (with Nordland having access to most of the same stuff, they are Ulricans too right, and into bows and hunting rather than crossbows and guns?) Gonkish posted:Norsca totally does punk WoC, even though we haven't seen much more than some screenshots and a few blurbs. That's how shoddy WoC is right now. Add the chaos hordes for a complete knockout. Though CA would have to dig pretty deep to turn them into a player faction maybe. Though I find the idea of fantasy Turks/Sarmatians/Scythians from literal demon steppes a fun concept (I also enjoy all- or mostly-mounted armies, Turks, Parthians and such being my favorite armies in past Total Wars) and seeing what they are doing here with Norsca when they don't have much to go on from the tabletop game I am excited to see what they would conjure up for the other human factions (yes it is me, I always play human characters in roleplaying games). A possible final form for the WoC would be to remake them into a kind of Chaos Undivided faction that both has its own roster of units (the heavily armored chaos warriors in various versions) but also can gain access to other units through actions in the campaign, gaining the favor of the Chaos Gods and your relations/dealings with or conquest of other chaos-affiliated factions (Norsca, Kurgan/Chaos Hordes and Chaos Dwarves). The Chaos campaign would then be all about wandering about the far reaches of the world, Chaos Wastes, Eastern Steppes, Norsca, wherever the Chaos Dwarves live (east?) and gathering an ever increasing and diverse army with which to invade and conquer the world.

Ravenfood posted:So, what happens to the Varg and Skaeling now? Presumably they'll get the new roster, but I'm actually kind of sad they missed the chance to make Surtha Ek a separate start with +chariot bonuses. Apparently Surtha Ek has pleased the Dark Gods of the Memes, and he'll start the game with his chariot mount unlocked. E: vvv Sorry, Archaeon will always be the nerd I get to dunk on before wrapping up my campaigns. In fact I'm modding my game to replace his startpos file with the far more intimidating and swarthy Surtha Ek. vvv Triskelli fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Jul 19, 2017 |

the way you salvage Archaeon in the grand finale Demons of Chaos expansion is, with the split into four factions, each with their own rosters, he gets the best of the lot. Warriors of Chaos to footslog, hellcannons to be his backfield, Pink Horrors to be his archers, Demons Riding Other, Larger, More Aggressive Demons as cavalry, Daemon Princes as standby monsters, he could legit be made threatening! but to do that you'd have to make the rest of the chaos roster not suck first

Maybe also give Archaeon when he comes to mess with everybody max stats and everything unlocked. Maybe after he goes down the first time his horse makes it's transformation into this or something.

Follows one of the likely LL, the Grey Seer Thanquol, as he absolutely fucks everything up. Its pretty great. He also appears as an antagonist in some of the Felix and Gotrek books.

Any good campaign runs on YouTube? Been watching some heir of Carthage and he's not bad but does constantly miss a lot of poo poo. I'm not asking for perfect, just a bit more competent but also with watchable personality. Granted, those two things together can be rare on YouTube...
