Empire could have a religious uprising rite that summons a stack full of flagellants, led by an Arch Lector and Priest. It could give + untainted an - public order as well. edit: Norscan rites could be above average in power but spend favour. ZeusJupitar fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Oct 12, 2017 |

Bretonnian Errantry war declared and you get a half stack of knights or something. See, this is easy.

Big event rites seem more interesting than the temporary minor buff ones we got. Vaul's tower destroyer spell is cool and worth planning around but the other High Elves ones feel like filler when they ran out of idea.

I'm really excited to see the old world maps, generally much superior than 2s lovely jungle maps, with 2s new lighting engine. The map design is generally worse but they're a LOT prettier.

I completely bounced off the Vampire Counts playstyle because "all melee, all the time" kinda sucks in Total War, but I might just get the Tomb Kings DLC to experience using undead troops while actually having tactical depth in battles.

I was really hoping they'd scatter some of the minor LLs to the new world and take the opportunity to give Ungrim the northern Karak with the mortal empires update. Kinda lovely that for every LL they move to the old world the big rear end new world loses a start.

VC ranged is magic and it's a blast. I will say Vlad made the faction for me with his vanguard deployment. It's the biggest problem I have with 2 - everyone except skaven plays so slowly.

so if skaven capture a elf gate, they get a garrison full of fun things. two catapults, four death globes, bunch of slingers, two ogres. bit light on infantry, and missing a caster. also missing is the FUCKIN GATE.

GCCM is planning on making custom maps for the vortex campaign which is exciting to me because each ritual has you often defending your faction capital and it would add a lot of flavor to have those maps customized based on the faction, as well as a few other notable places that might contain special buildings.

Those giant skeletons with appropriately giant bows look rad as gently caress, like they're Dark Souls giants or something. And of course, the giant scorpion.

I feel like Dwarfs and VC are going to be at a disadvantage in mortal empires simply because you can't float some intrepid garbage analyser around the ocean picking up 10,000g in one turn.

The victory conditions sound pretty promising actually. CA allege that you don't just need 50 regions or whatever and there are fluffy reasons for you to be trying to sail across the sea and beat up a lizard man or whatever.

Hopefully it won't take too long for the turn times to come down. Turn times shouldn't be as bad as they are anyways. Its just that Creative Assembly are too lazy to re-write parts of their engine that have been in place for literal decades. I really really love Total War and Total Warhammer is basically the better Heroes of Might and Magic that I've always wanted (and HoMM 5 and 6 sucked) but the game is full of stupid backwards poo poo because that's how it was done 10 years ago. Like when you're playing a multiplayer co-op campaign, and you're the same faction (and the vortex campaign FORCES this) there's really no reason not to have simultaneous turns. It would cut down so much time wasting, you could do things while your opponent does and only have to wait if one of you takes significantly longer than the other on the same turn. But... they'd have to re-write half the loving game because it wasn't designed for that and stuff has been piled on stuff for so long they dare not start over from scratch.

Also if taking a particular territory or whatever to win the game is a chore, why are you playing? e: like this is the mega campaign, of course the elves want to go to Everpeak. Someone needs to finally settle the war of the beards.

I hate fighting skaven. If the map isn't pitch black they're still making GBS threads out aoe effects, their "cowardly" units rally as quick as you break them and the ui warnings about their spells are wrong. Why won't Skrolk die? Toughest loving wizard ever. And when he does go down after 10 minutes of focus fire/bombardment he's back a handful of turns later with a fresh stack. Tedious, unfun bullshit.

There's a definite tipping point where I make a new campaign or just stop playing. Having to fight and travel to a far off location sounds cool to me. I like the idea of having to manage armies as you try to forge a path to wherever.

My campaign just got completely hosed over in one turn. Right as the high elves complete their fourth ritual, the next turn they immediately break our military alliance, declare war on me, AND confederate the second largest high elf faction (Teclis) that happens to be interspersed all throughout my southern territories because we had been allies for most of the campaign. I'm now at war with high elves who instantly own over half the map and also have over eight full doomstack armies already near most of my major province capitals. I had NO idea it was coming because I was over 200+ relations with them well in the green and we were military-loving-allies. What is this poo poo? Does ritual four automatically force war or something? What a lovely way for this campaign to end. Ugh.  edit: Apparently they didn't suffer any diplomacy penalties for backstabbing the gently caress out of me either. They are still bright green to New World Colonies who I graciously allowed to stay in Settler's Coast because they were my first friends and I got sentimental about it. Now NWC still regards Lothern as bright green allies and won't even back me up in my darkest hour. gently caress warmbloods forever.

Ritual four starts permawar with the other 3 main factions. You can prolly still win a ritual victory though. One thing that's kinda good about the Vortex campaign is that it's the first TW where you will prolly lose land, and can still come back for a win.
