Gonkish posted:Another post on Reddit has a slightly less lovely translation, and it implies that Dark Elf generals have a somewhat similar loyalty mechanic. No actual details of what that means, but I guess the reason we haven't seen Dark Elf gameplay is because they've got some similarity in that mechanic, somehow? Nothing in the linked german article talks about Dark Elves. Either they mean a different article or they are inferring that from somewhere else. The only notable thing I would add is that food can apparently be used to build higher level buildings, but other than that, the original post covered the gist of it. EDIT: Top of the page, so I might as well do it myself: Nahrung: Die Skaven sind ein verfressenes Pack und jede Armee schluckt stetig Nahrung. Durch Siege in der Schlacht, Eroberungen und Plünderzüge füllen wir die Speisekammern wieder. Auch Städte können Verpflegung herstellen, allerdings nur in bestimmten Schlüsselgebieten. Hohe Nahrung gewährt Boni auf Moral und Ordnung, aber niedrige Vorräte können unser Reich regelrecht verkrüppeln. Neu eroberte Städte können wir sofort auf höhere Stufen ausbauen, indem wir Nahrung investieren. In English: Food: Skaven are a gluttonous lot and every army continuously consumes food. You can refill your pantry through winning in battles, conquest and pillaging. Cities can produce some amount of food, but only in key locations. High food grants bonuses for moral and public order, but a lack thereof might cripple the Skaven empire. Newly conquered cities can build high tier buildings through an investment of food. Something like that. Zwiebel fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Aug 16, 2017 |

if dark elves, skaven, and lizardmen have a loyalty mechanic, I can't wait to see high elves have a haughty holier than thou mechanic where you have to keep pleasing their delicate sensitivities

I'm watching some videos on Youtube of some Bretonnian players. How are they getting 90 people in a sword squire unit while i can only get 30?

Dartonus posted:The Tomb King Amanhotep the Intolerant, who I mentioned a few pages back. His only lore mentions are the time he got kidnapped by Battle Pilgrims and slaughtered the population of several Bretonnian villages on his way back to his city on foot, and an appearance in the Dreadfleet specialty game, where he piloted a ship that was pulled by giant Ushabti and shot solar lasers from the capstone of a pyramid built on the deck. He operates out of Zandri, Nehekhara's main port city, located right where the Mortis River meets the Great Ocean. this poo poo right here is why I will never understand the MORE GRIMDARK nerds, warhammer and fantasy should always have been hilarity first everything else second (which is why old orcs are awesome)

Unit sizes can be set to small, medium, large and ultra. The game is balanced around "large", I believe, but it's pretty much just a matter of whether or not your computer can run it and a lot of people seem to like playing ultra.

Jastiger posted:So does that mean the enemy has likewise smaller units too? Or am I handicapping myself by only having 30 dudes? It scales up on all units. For units that only have 1 unit like monsters, lords and heroes it cranks up their stats to compensate. Magic is kind of unaffected, which makes it relatively less effective at higher unit sizes. Ironically, this tends to benefit heroes because there are only so many enemies that can engage them at a time while they flatten 3 to 5 guys each attack.

Also I don't think the Grey Seer in the video is Thanquol. Thanquol's not on the council, that is a key part of his character. His staff kinda matches the old Thanquol's but it also kinda matches a generic Seer staff. Otherwise Thanquol doesn't really have a consistent look in art or even consistent horn number/shape so IDK for sure.

It's probably Seerlord Kritislik, Thanquol's master, head of the Grey Seers and the only Lord of Decay with two votes on the council.

juggalo baby coffin posted:i love the rat ogre redesign. looks more frankensteiny than the old models, but less stupid than the end times ones There is only one end times Rat Ogre which is Thanquol's which looks cool. The other ones as shown above are from 8th and they also look good better then the old models. Queek does indeed die in end times. From quickly looking it up. He gets into a big final battle Belegar Ironhammer (His main rival) and Thorgrim Grudgebearer. He ends up fighting and killing Belegar, but Thorgrim manages to avenge Belegar and kill Queek. Sadly for Thorgrim he is shortly after assassinated by Deathmaster Snikch who takes his head back to Skaven leadership . Skarsnik the last of the trio that fight each other over Eight Peaks is still alive but during the fighting his Pet squig Gobbla is killed and Skarsnik is heartbroken by this and leaves the battle and and Eight Peaks.

Empty seat at the head is for the Horned Rat in position thirteen. Position one is on his immediate right on the long side, for the second best skaven who I think is either the skryre dude, pestilens dude, or grey seer usually? Then twelve on his left side is third best, and so on. So the two dudes farther away can comfortably know they suck,

And while you are right about the positions of power. A interesting thing the skaven came up with to prevent the higher ranked people from getting away with too much is that if you are on the opposite side of the table from someone then you can veto them. So ideally they want a good relationship with the skaven opposite of them. The Horned Rat can't be vetoed as no one is opposite him.

So i recently got the game and I dont have the iron will to search all 700+ pages of the thread for an answer, but is there any kind of fix for the campaign map lagging all to hell after a while? I was having a fun and good go of it but it just keeps getting laggier and laggier and its pretty much unplayable now. Its fine in battles and the main menu and stuff, but once I load up my campaign it chugs where as it was perfectly fine earlier in the game.

There were some issues with lag in the campaign map around the release of warhammer, I'd do some google searches. There's a TWC thread where they suggest enabling an FPS limit, maybe try vsync, idk. Plenty of people ran into that so you should be able to find a fix that works for you. Search for warhammer campaign map lag

I don't have that problem, so without meaning to sound like a dick, is your comp older? Alternatively, are you running anything in the background while you play? Check the processes in the task manager to see if anything is making your disk or cpu chug. Aurubin fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Aug 16, 2017 |

Ignore the fact that it's associated with 4chan if you can. Type in The End Times and you'll get a well detailed article. Somewhere on there is even a breakdown of how everyone died, places like Cathay and Ind included.
