If this is from release then you're missing the bug that made Kholek take up half the screen and therefore I give this a 5 at best

Man I really should have played empire or dwarves first. Finished first short campaign as VC and it generally kicked my rear end (H campaign), I have played everything since shogun 2 on legendary. To much stuff was just way different, I didn't even figure out you could overcharge spells until like 10 turns before I won (this would have been a huge game changer to be able to AOE heal my units throughout the campaign). I systematically did everything wrong that I could out the gate, made friends with humans, immediately declared war on dwarves only to find out that's they're all armored and generally immune to my psychology and I can't capture their settlements. Got into a weird stalemate early on where I spent like 60 turns trying not to piss off humans, not able to afford armor piercing units, and unable to take Zhufbar to the NE but also unable to move my armies from E Sylvania lest the dwarves sack everything. I completely avoided using wraiths until late game. I expanded N to take on Chaos (and was somehow allied with empire for a while), eventually crushing them before both the dwarves and empire decided to go to war at the same time with me. Ugh, what a slog. Think I ended the short campaign around turn 250.

For me it is a tie between beating up Archeon with Grimgor in such a way that when I re fought the map I could point out where he was buried, and besieging settlements with multiple war mammoths and watching as they smash through all but the hardest of lines once they breached the gates. Basically every huge attritious battle where I was the dwarfs. I thought for sure I'd hate playing them before the game came out, and I ended up thinking they're pretty great. Just stocky, surly, slow, unmovable bastards with big guns. Oh, and the time I was doing a wood elf campaign and I had to fight several stacks of goblins, including skarsnik. I was able to just barely hold them off, and I just ran my camera over all the dead afterwards because the field was littered with thousands of corpses.

Lowkey but fighting off a near-full stack of undead garbage plus the Red Duke and 2-3 Grave Guards with just Alberic, 4 Knights of the Realm, and 4 Peasant Archers. Showed me just how magnificent the Bretonnian cavalry charge is, and how solid their shooting actually is, as well as actually being very challenging to fight.

My favorite fight was the one near the end of my first Norsca run I just did. I chose to fight WoC and cobbled together three armies to try to get them out of the picture fast since I was hemorrhaging money. I ended up fighting them with Throgg, Wulfrick, and Surtha Ek against all four of the legendary lords armies at once. By far the biggest battle I've fought in total warhammer, by the end of it it was just Throgg, a scattering of his ice trolls, and a skin wolf hero left on my side, everyone else having died or routed. Throgg personally killed Archaeon, Sigvald, Kholek, and Sartoreal which I'm pretty sure makes him the new everchosen. I was legit surprised I won that one, this is my first campaign on hard mode and its been rough adjusting.

Chaos end time hordes on a hill bearing down on my empire army. Swordsmen dying in droves to chaos warriors, reiksguard cycle charging endlessly, franz and other mounted heros desperately intercepting hellcannons before they got in range. So many chaos emerging from the treeline. It was my first campaign and my best experience.

I think my favorite battle was holding Bechafen as the Vampire Counts against Chaos, and watching Mannfred sweep over the walls to set himself up for a wind of death cast that would obliterate about a half dozen units. Chaos was super bunched up at the gate their giant had broken open, and I managed to get Manny behind that giant clump and cast the wind towards the wall and basically through the gate (which I guess is possible if you target it outside of the wall?). It did some friendly fire, but it pretty much wiped out the main force that was giving me trouble (I didn't have a ton of armor piercing and my crypt ghouls were hurting even with Nehek). A single cast of that spell saved my rear end.

My most epic battle was during the chaos invasion, somewhere near Kislev, Thogrim and a master engineer had just killed Kholek's army, but were pretty beat up after, and three full chaos stacks including sigvald were hiding just behind. So I had Ungrim and a full stack of elite dwarfs block the chaos stacks from reaching the high king, and basically held the door while thogrim and the engineer stacks made it back to dwarf territory. My most fun battle was Throgg + 19 assorted trolls destroying a fully garrisoned Praag

It was my first time playing any TW I was Grimgor doing that tunnel fight with the dwarves that shows you how quests work. Well my army held for a bit but eventually routed, sept old Ironhide.  He killed more stunties that day than anyone else has throughout all my campaigns. The real memory comes from bragging to my roommate, then getting the idea that it may have been scripted and Grimgor couldn't lose that fight. Which bummed me. Until i tested it and found out you can totally lose that fight.

My main dwarf army getting attack by 3 chaos stacks , fortunately the map I got had a big slope, so Iined up my troops, let my cannons take out their hardest units and leaders so my warriors and quarrellers just had to deal with the riff raff who were exhausted once they reached the top. Watching their approaching armies being swarmed by retreating units from the previous attack was a good time.

Ze Pollack posted:what CA has done with the god-awful Warhammer Fantasy dragon models remains one of their finest pieces of work No seriously, pretty much all the official dragons except for that one-off carmine thing were hilariously derpy. CA being able to make Warhammer dragon designs good while still be recognizably those designs is awesome.

Beating the Red Duke and a 3/4 full stack of mostly Grave Guard with my undefended settlement's garrison. Finding a Chaos Lord named Kylass Deathmetal was pretty close, though.

All the model work is awesome, but the dragons look really really nice. I really, really wish they would have had a sync kill where it claws the enemy dragons' jaws open and breathes flame down its loving throat. That'd be rad.

My favorite campaign moment was probably my coop empire campaign. I was Stirland/Gelt, buddy was Empire/Karl. We unified the Empire in record time, ran north and burned out the Norscans, and when Chaos showed up, we had our armies stationed, along with some AI dwarf armies, right at the border, and saw them off without losing a single settlement. Favorite battle... well, honestly, I haven't found individual battles to be that memorable from Empire onwards for Reasons. They all kind of blur together, not enough drama or variance or some such thing to make things stand out. idk. I can remember fights I've had in that med 2 mod better than in TWW proper.  Its not even like a gameplay problem, since the battles are more fun. They're just kind of less distinct in my mind. Maybe its more a campaign tempo sort of issue or something.

Hmm, seems like 'very best money can buy' would actually push you towards cheaper, more numerous units. The +ap and +armour is most significant for units with poor base values in that, and the upkeep increase in a percentage so you'll really not want to use it with elite units.

He can nullify that with a different blue skill for -15% upkeep for all units. Although this is mostly from Leonardo Catrazza, the LL, I am enjoying how utterly useless the merchant princes are instead.

Sounds like a poorly thought out ability, the bonuses are also better for larger units that tend to be less elite.
