Here's some mugshots    I have no idea why Khalida is posed like that, and it looks like they all (except possibly Khalida) need a dentist. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

They've been mummified for 1000+ years except Khatep, who's been a walking corpse for the same amount of time. Arkhan especially should have terrible blackened teeth, which for some reason they didn't put in.

Sekenr posted:Wait, what did they change in tww1 chaos? Chaos got a major overhaul, with upgrades/etc. reducing upkeep, only marauder units infighting, and other poo poo to make them more fun to play. Also being able to immediately subjugate Norscan tribes and stuff. These changes were not brought over in ME initially. Not sure how many are in now, but possibly none of them. Either way Norsca being many months away also makes Chaos less fun to play.

Sekenr posted:Wait, what did they change in tww1 chaos? They made it so you can auto-vassalize Norscans by beating up their boss, just like Norsca. Also you actually get favor from vassals, so it's more useful in general. Also only their poo poo units have animosity, so you don't have to keep all your stacks miles apart. They also get replenishment bonuses with every tier of research, so that healing is less of a drag. And they get the one-turn loot+raze or growth+raze options that Beastmen have. Also they get a bunch of new skills and stuff as part of the Foundation update. End result is that Chaos is kind of overpowered, but actually fun to play for a change.

Did they ever announce whether they were going to do anything with the climate system and how the AI doesn't seem to give a single gently caress? Because it really throws a lot of the ME balance out of whack.

The main problem seems to be that while it works for conquering, it doesn't seem to do anything about the AI deciding to settle. I watched the AI raze a settlement then immediately decide to colonize the ruins (and they didn't have the ruin-dweller trait). So, it works for when the AI takes a settlement, but doesn't do anything about the AI seeing ruins and deciding whether or not to settle.

Re; mod conversation earlier, ill throw my hat in the ring for Boyz will be Boyz, which doesnt try to improve vanilla so much as change it as close to TT as possible. And it actually kind of works! Worth a look at least. Also, GemFX is a good dl if you feel like tweaking the games lighting, which can be pretty dire sometimes (oraaaange)

I'm not a big fan of the whole vortex mechanic but some people really wanted that extra structure to their campaign and love it. It fails as a structured losable campaign because the AI cheats itself Ritual Resource, and the winning strategy for every type is to turtle tall and just pop off all the Rituals after you've established tall. It doesn't matter that you sailed across the world to stop Kroq'Gar and took his ritual sites. He'll still outpace your resource gain 3 to 1 with only two cities. It fails as a sandbox experience because even if you ignore the Ritual element and attempt a sandbox the AI is hardcoded to focus on Ritual sites/defending areas it doesn't need so you don't have the variety sandbox usually provides. It's a fundamentally broken map held up by the virtues of the base product/how good the new races are. Like I LIKE structured campaigns, and its a bad one.

Been playing another game as the Vamps and using that Dwarven diplomacy nerf mod that, instead of just making all dwarf units incredibly expensive to upkeep, scales that poo poo based on their territorial gains, while simultaneously increasing dwarven aversion to other dwarves as they grow larger. Net effect is that you can end up with dwarves expanding into the Badlands, but it takes longer due to their inability to confederate after a while. Meanwhile, they're not making GBS threads out dozens of doomstacks on turn 10 or whatever, so they just slow down exponentially as they gain more ground. It's a more elegant solution to the problem than outright disabling AI confederations, or totally loving up dwarven upkeep. This lets them build a sizeable Empire without loving drowning the entire map in beards. The Greenskins still get poo poo on, though. It just takes longer.  Meanwhile, allying with the Dark Elves is basically game over when you're the Counts. Morathi has confederated everyone and conquered basically everything in the western hemisphere, I'm finishing off the Empire and Kislev and then will turn south to knock out the dwarves. The elves are hellmarching the Southlands with an ungodly number of stacks, so I expect everyone down there will be enslaved shortly, and my plan is to meet up with them as they push north while I push south. It's been an interesting campaign. The counts are one of my favorite factions in ME (despite the Old World races still needing to be brought up to par with the new ones). If/when CA gets everything up to WH2 standards, they'll be fantastic.

Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of vortex myself but I have played through it with all the races because I'm exactly that kind of insufferable completionist, and I've never once lost the resource race. Pretty sure the AI isn't cheating there.

the vortex fails as a campaign because it's barely there and what is there sucks and is meaningless, completely meaningless. The best thing that can be said about it is that it doesn't make the game worse.

I really liked the Vortex campaign. It's literally a TW1 campaign except your objectives aren't focused on occupying territory per se and every once and a while you manually trigger a mini-chaos invasion. Then at the end there is one final scripted battle. Honestly I felt like it was a really nice 'short' campaign.

So apparently modders have datamined Tretch Craventail as the FLC Skaven Lord. Also Shadow Warriors I guess. http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tretch_Craventail Gotta be honest, If I made a list of 5 Skaven characters to be added to the game after the two we already got, Tretch would be...five, just above Gnawtooth, the guy who's backstory is just "really loves hanging with rats. Er, normal-ish, not talking rats." Basically his deal is being the weakest, most cowardly and most treacherous of all Skavenkind. It gives him an amusing backstory but I can't imagine what CA could do with him that didn't boil down to "Worse Queek".
