There is something incredibly cold about having mortars and rockets bombarding a city while your army and general stand there waiting for their ammo the run dry before sending up towers and a battering ram. E: to the provinces! *kills thousands of brettonian peasants with ordnance*

So if you make its recruitment building elsewhere it becomes a knock-off Khemrian Warsphinx instead?

They are authentic Khemrian Warphinxes that fell off the back of a cart. What? No, they are definitely called Warsphinxes and not Warpshynxes, that is what they call them in Khemrei. Reminder about casual tourny starting on the 30th. Mukip posted:

Arglebargle III posted:Winning the Empire/Chaos matchup revolved around shooting and heavy cavalry, and Chaos getting artillery disrupts both of those plans. I get that Chaos players didn't enjoy marching across the table with no interaction while the Empire shot them up, but Chaos already had disruption in its roster if it bothered to take flying demons and/or sorcerers. The Hellcannon is annoying because you want your light cavalry and artillery to be preventing marches and killing monstrous units. If you spend the first three turns artillery dueling and the warriors reach your lines without being disrupted you've lost pretty much lost the game. And the Hellcannon gets to shoot, too. Just get a heavens (or whatever mage has lightning stuff, don't remember?) mage on a pegasus, fly unhindered and urannon's the hellcannon, problem solved in about 30 seconds with 0 risk.

I can't wait for the Norsca nerfs, I tried to have a go at Legendary Malekith, succeeding in taking out my skaven neighbours, that other dark elf faction I start at war with and even the Mung and their 4 stacks, called in by the latter, just in time to get attacked by the Aghol that have now eaten every single dark elf faction east of me and are 13 provinces large, bringing 8 stacks.

What does Volkmar's popemobile do? It crashes his stats and I have him ride it because it's baller, but I've got no idea what the benefit is.

Pretty much nothing can shove him around if he's on it, and he knocks infantry around like dolls same as any chariot.

Watching early access Tomb King matches is interesting. It looks like the faction as a whole has pretty much garbage bottom basement tier infantry and mediocre cavalry and is heavily reliant on monster support and overlapping buffs to accomplish anything. Most of the matches I've watched have them struggling hugely against all the elite high end anti-large infantry like Temple Guard and Black Guard, though it's early days and no one has really cracked the code on how to play them yet.

Great bow Ushabti seem pretty crazy though, and Necrosphinxes can reliably take out Star Dragons 1v1.

Mordja posted:Great bow Ushabti seem pretty crazy though, and Necrosphinxes can reliably take out Star Dragons 1v1. They can do that if the Star Dragons don't breathe first, and honestly it's not likely that a Necrosphinx is going to get to engage a Star Dragon on favorable terms due to the latter's ability to fly. It's more likely the Star Dragon is going to spend its breaths taking out the Necrosphinx's support and refuse to engage. Great Bow Ushabti look like a pretty solid include in almost any list, as they do huge damage, aren't insanely expensive, and aren't completely worthless in melee if push comes to shove.

The biggest thing I remember Hellcannons causing a stir with when they initially came out was their incredibly silly misfire chart which included "every spellcaster on the battlefield takes a wound, no saves of any sort allowed." Which, while entirely random, was not something several armies - potentially including the Chaos one itself - wanted to be rolled. In everything else, allowing Warriors of Chaos to take a single incredibly expensive cannon was not some massive paradigm shift in tactics for anyone, and any player running an artillery/gunline heavy list against WoC who whined about it deserved to be mocked.

In addition to the more obvious stat/performance buffs (Volkmar is much more dangerous with the chariot mount than without it) the popemobile also gives Volkmar +15% magic resist, unbreakable, causes fear/terror, and gives him Divine Power and bound banishment. Divine Power is a passive that inflicts +50% miscast on enemy casters. The banishment is sadly bugged, hopefully it was fixed in the TK patch and just wasn't in the notes.

I also started using a witch hunter which I've never really used except as a map assassin and the dude just blasts 100+ enemies per battle even when I forget I've put him somewhere. Just wait for engagement, walk him to the side and he starts capping dudes.

I wonder if AI Belegar would wage war against either an AI or player Dwarf that takes Eight Peaks that hasn't been friendly enough with him. At the very least, Belegar should give no fucks about his theoretical friendship with a non-Dwarf if they hold Eight Peaks.

I really want to like this game but maaaan, I can't think of any other game that's so incredibly uncomfortable to look at. Both the campaign and battle views are a total mess. They have a poo poo ton of very detailed unit and environment models that look amazing in screenshots or if you zoom in all the way but when you try to play the game normally all those tiny moving overly-detailed models turn into a complete mess of shimmering pixels, and the fact that they didn't bother to implement any kind of modern anti-aliasing makes that problem even worse. I seriously can't think of any other game that a graphics style this distracting. It's a shame.

I just wish I could figure out why the campaign map runs like absolute rear end for me. My RX480 handled the first game without issue, but even with lower settings the campaign map peaks at about 45fps, with the Vortex on screen dropping that into the 20s. It's frustrating because battles run beautifully, but the campaign map is a sluggish, stuttering mess that just feels like poo poo. It's playable, but it's annoying.

I have sort of the same issue. When I walk my armies somewhere on the campaign map they do this slight stuttering /pausing as they go. It’s not a major issue at, just enough to be annoying.

Chariot-esque mounts always tanks stats since they give a huge increase in their ability to mow down infantry with aoe attack animations and increased mass. Death Hags with their Cauldron and Khazrak with his chariot are good examples.
