Hellebron's initial army is a comical anti-infantry blender. You've got Hellebron, who is quite possibly the deadliest combat lord in the game and rocking a +20(!) bonus vs infantry, a Death Hag, a unit of Executioners, and a unit of Sisters of Slaughter, plus the assorted T1 dark elf chaff. You can basically put each of your four unique units on an enemy unit and expect it to come out the other side. You can also end battles really quick because if Hellebron gets her hands on the enemy lord the enemy lord is pretty much guaranteed to die in seconds.

Bone Giant for TK are also in now. Looks like it was part of a GW Steam sale. Both TW:W games are discounted as is all the DLC(Except for the new one).

Glade Guard might be bugged, they no longer fire on the move in my game. Waywatchers and Deepwood Scouts still do. Would anyone be so kind and confirm/deny ?

Is there any way for the game to remember that I have installed the Free DLCs so I don't have to click the "Click to show" button every time?

New Norsca confederation mechanics are kinda cool. Beat up the enemy warlord in battle, gobble up their entire tribe. But I'm not sure what the point is of giving the player 3 options when two of them are false choices.

Bloody hell I hate this patching system. I have more than enough space for the entire game again but it's still saying there's not enough disc space. So just gonna uninstall and redownload the whole game again tonight I guess, what a pain in the rear end.

I'd be really interested to hear if CA is using only publisher type QA still or if they have moved on to the more modern in house embedded Developer QA type model, because god drat they really seem to be missing easy to find issues for such a huge waterfall type release cadence. Not that this specifically means QA missed the bug, but somewhere there is a huge breakdown in communication between QA -> QA leads -> Producers because I'd bet my pinky that some of these are already in their jira/whatever else they use. I find it really hard to believe that someone didn't find the RoR issues with wulfrik during like the first day of playtests, assuming that everything norsca was undoubtedly a high priority testing item.

Your starting settlements are extremely vulnerable to empire factions and your units suck balls. Focus on killing enemy faction leaders (to force confederation, make sure you demand ALL their cash) and raiding tactics. Ammanas fucked around with this message at 19:35 on May 31, 2018 |

I know a couple guys who work QA at CA at their HQ in Horsham, they're always tight lipped about actual work stuff though obviously when I half jokingly ask about stuff like that. Yeah that stuff can't have been missed, maybe it's popped up very close to release because of some other change and they decided getting the patch out when they promised and fixing it later was a better look than delaying it again and out of May.

botany posted:ok, thanks. so basically turtle and raid until i get some better units? Kind of. Use a baseline of cheap marauders (i like spearmen for higher MD and anti-large), have 4-6 javelins (these are probably your most useful units for the first 40 turns), use Wulfrics magic attack against enemy lines and always use him to hunt the enemy general. I personally disband the chariot, i loving hate chariots in TW games, and use the wolves to flank and hunt enemy ranged. There was a trick to kill Suthra Elk and confederate the Varg in the first 5 turns from TW1, not sure if it still works. Your settlements are very poor, raiding should provide you with most of your income.

Also, spearmen are anti-large, and your Skinwolves are Large units, so they'll get torn the gently caress up by them.

Norsca are fun as hell to play. Their climate suitability may need another pass though. Everywhere is green except for Gaen Vale in Lothern, The WE lands, Tomb Kings land of Araby and Lahmia who are all yellow. I haven't played enough to cehck if they have a system similar to what WE have for outposts but if they don't then it seems fairly broken.

Alith Anar Startin Tips: You don't have a starting province. No really, you don't. You have a loving albatross around your neck that will start an infinite number of wars and trigger every faction to seek you out and sack/raid it. It can't be saved. Abandon it. Don't upgrade it. Don't invest in it. Conquer Quintex and let the Skeggi/Scourge/TirAnroc/Malekith/Lizardmen take it.

God damnit 30 turns into legendary Vortex with elfqueen, there's a full stack blood voyage just chilling offshore doing jack poo poo not moving. Well, I guess it's keeping my single stack from doing anything useful (like sacking all the Norsca poo poo or murdering the idiots over in Saphery) because I just know the moment I move it's going to come. Dicks.

My biggest gripe is that Karond Kar has a unique building for DE but not for HE. Considering it's Alith's home they should have added something. I'm pretty sure at least 90 % of legendary lords get a unique building.

Also cool: the performance on the campaign map has pretty significantly increased for me. (I'm on an RX480.) Previously it chugged along at maybe 30fps, but now it seems to at least be smoother than that.
