I want workable goblin fanatics that don't hide in a unit or have the units name be hidden from the enemy. I really just want more goblins.

Mangler squigs would be cool. Basically a fanatic chained to two giant squigs, IIRC they never got a model though? The exploding squigs in the doomseekers loving annihilated me the first time cuz I never played Wurrzag. A line of slayers vs my early-game elf firing line, heheh, I thought, easy peezy. OH

I'm 100 turns into a heavily modded ME campaign and I've only crashed once. This is a CA game right?

Is there any particular reason the only way you have different starting locations is by having different subfactions? With many, you run the risk of losing the chance to obtain the other Legendary Lords forever if they were wounded when the Confederation took place. So while you get alternate start locations, it comes at the cost of seldom getting the other LLs at a point in which it might be useful. One alternative idea I'd pitch is to have some Legendary Lords be 'wild cards' that can be recruited from any of the subfactions of that race. There's no reason Grombrindal, for example, couldn't be recruited by Clan Angrund, for example. As they add more Legendary Lords (and hopefully Heroes, eventually) they can simply make them available like this, particularly if those Lords were more Mercenary in the Lore anyway and not currently tied to their own faction.

Panfilo posted:Is there any particular reason the only way you have different starting locations is by having different subfactions? The game started with the idea that if you were going to do co-op, one of you would be empire, the other dwarves, so why bother splitting the LLs. Now that CA seems to think people care about co-op, starting with the bretonia DLC, the lords are no longer all in one province. They have said they want to go back and move the old world guys around so you can co-op a game where you are both dwarves or both humans. The only solution to LLs going missing is probably the mod where you can re-establish dead factions.

thats not how fanatics WORK though, like, even on the tabletop. their whole deal is you guide them to the front hidden among nightgobs than you go, "but surprise, its fanatics" and leave them wishing they hadn't charged your night-archers, or maybe the scatter dice sends them careening into your own lines killing everyone...

I’m playing a dawi ME campaign to try out the Greenskin buffs. It’s pretty good, the green tide is definitely a thing. I’ve been hard pressed to consolidate the northern mountains and push out the vampires while keeping my southern holds intact. I have 2 good stacks just chainsawing 2-3 stack greenskin incursions every few turns. If you felt that the dwarves were kind of boring before, it has been a bit of a nail biter for me and I recommend giving it a shot now. I really wish CA would release some more info on the non Norsca DLC. I’d like to know what else they have planned since this is a long rear end wait and the previous schedule is thrown way out of whack.

Grace_CA more or less confirmed a couple of weeks ago that there won't be any new DLC for WH2 until Norsca. Grace_CA posted:We are going to do a 'what the teams are working on' update soon, and I posted the development blog which explains the difficulties and effort going into Norsca and RoR. Everyone was very upset when Norsca and RoR were not in mortal empires and I even got a great number of personal messages, so we have obviously prioritised that - even when we announced Tomb Kings, which we'd been working on before Norsca, people complained that we were "expecting" them to pay for content when content they had already paid for (Norsca) was not in the game. This month is all about Rome 2, and April is the Saga game. In May we get Norsca, and maybe a new paid DLC to go along with it

Yeah if you ignore the part that was about future DLC then she didn't say anything about DLC. Honestly it's started to feel like CA just doesn't give a poo poo about the game, because besides when they talk about it and its development schedule they never bring it up. It's just radio silence on DLC outside of when they talk about DLC.

And if you look at what I said, I’d like to know something more than a nebulous, “mystery stuff in mystery amounts at mystery times past or in May?” I didn’t say whatever that poo poo you posted is.

Warhammer 1's DLC schedule spoiled the poo poo out of us. On one hand, I hope they fix Norsca first and get poo poo ironed out, on the other hand give me all of the loving DLC you can possibly make CA hot pot catapults when

Take Call of the Beastmen, for example, CA announced it all the way back in July 2016, almost two whole weeks before that DLC was released. With Warhammer 2 we aren't getting poo poo other than the occasional "we will release a new DLC in one month" or "our next content release will be in May, followed by other projects." Disgraceful.

They hosed up royally with Norsca and ate humble pie because of it. Its pretty obvious they wouldn't want to bring more attention to the situation by talking about DLC when its had to be pushed back so badly.

I mean if you feel like CA isn't communicating enough you're probably an idiot. I'm sorry that you're offended by this Senor Dog, as I understand criticism can hit very close to home.Nephthys posted:Oh shut up. They hosed up royally with Norsca and ate humble pie because of it.

Call of the Beastmen was released on July 28, 2016. Grim and Grave was announced on August 23, 2016. Grim and Grave was released on September 1, 2016. Realm of the Wood Elves was announced on Nov 17, 2016. Realm of the Wood Elves was released on December 8, 2016. CA's practice was to announce Warhammer 1 DLC just a few weeks before it was released. CA has said that future Warhammer 2 DLC is going to be released after May. So, unless CA was practicing for damage control for Warhammer 2's DLC release schedule before that game actually entered development, I think that this might be normal.

I just want them to fix the quick battle bug that keeps you from loading the army selection screen after an opponent is found. It failed 8 out of 9 attempts last night.

They normally announce DLC a few weeks before release. That is probably still the case here. We are just not getting any right now because they are working on Norsca. Tomb Kings were the exact same style as WH1. Just be patient. Wait for Norsca then the games release schedule should be normal again. poo poo had to get pushed back because of Norsca.

Suck my dick from the back, wanting to know if they are truncating DLC plans or other content due to the Norsca pooch screwing is not ~unreasonable~. I’m not even saying I want to know exactly what or when, just some broad strokes stuff. WH1 is not a great model because they didn’t have a 6 - 8 month setback for planned races that included a stop in future content until that was resolved. Considering the standard DLC plan is changed in a significant manner, wanting to know what they still have planned is not some wacky entitled thing. Especially since continued DLC/FLC releases are big draw of the game.

No one is asking for a calendar. You're the only one sperging about that. People just like the game and would like to know more about what is coming with/after norsca.

The new races end up adding a couple new play throughs and some quick battle time for me so I don’t mind(too much) the 20$ for another 60 hrs of enjoyment. I’m not thrilled with DLC being put in place of proper expansions, but Tomb Kings are definitely not horse armor.
