SirPhoebos posted:My guess is the next Skaven LL will be a Grey Seer, since "The Prophet and the Seer" just writes itself as a DLC title. Or they could call it "The Claw and the Paw!" Only reason I'd say Ikkit Claw is probably a paid lord is cause the units they'd probably be adding for Skaven would be Jezzails, Stormfiends and/or ratling gunners and they'd fit with him pretty well whereas Thanquol is a pretty good free lord choice since he's kinda got that feel good fan favourite thing. They might make him like the White Dwarf actually, where you have to go into a Games Workshop initially to get a code for him.

Weird question, but for people who know more about modding is it feasible for crafting to eventually be added to all factions? After playing a ton of Tomb Kings I'm just not feeling as into either elf faction again with the DLC.

After playing a ton of Tomb Kings I'm just not feeling as into either elf faction again with the DLC. I was just about to post something like that too. I really dislike the item system in the game, especially for Warhammer 2 you get bombarded constantly every turn with so many poo poo items that i instantly go "i dont wanna deal with that". Would be much nicer if i could craft what i wanted and melt down what i didn't. Oh and if you didn't know yet Canopus250, they added the crafting mechanic to Dwarves too if you are looking to play a different faction that also can do it.

John Charity Spring posted:Nobles are the ones who have the actual Assassinate ability. They're decent combatants but really shine for the Secure Influence action on the campaign map. The true power of Mages, at least in the first ~100 turns of your campaign, is the Administrator influence trait they can get; -30% build time and costs in the local province, which stacks additively, which means that with 3 Administrators and the building commandment you build literally any structures in the game for free in one turn. For this reason alone I can never justify sending mages off with my armies because once you get them online they catapult you forward in tech. They also make taking territory extremely fast and powerful with HE, since you can conquer a province and reconfigure it in literally any way you want for no cost in just a couple turns. Mages also offer the Entrepeneur trait, which provides +30% income in a local province, which can be extremely lucrative in the right places. Basically Mages are much more useful logistically than they are tactically. Three administrator mages in a province that's about to go tier 5 can literally save you tens of thousands of gold. Similarly, Nobles basically have to spend all their time getting influence. Influence is too precious and used for too many good things; it lets you freely manipulate all forms of diplomacy across the world as well as recruiting the best heroes and lords in the business, so it's pretty much mandatory to have them slinging sick burns at enemy towns 24/7 instead of wasting time fighting. Loremasters generally provide sufficient magical support for HE armies, given that they have Earth Blood, Spirit Leech, Harmonic Convergence, and Melkoth's, and they're also good fighters. Handmaidens are also a great addition, since they provide the Replenishment passive that you lack if your Nobles aren't in your armies, they're good combatants, and their higher level skills are loving fantastic.

Modders already had dwarf crafting before the DLC / patch and it was supposed to used as a framework for the rest. But they may have changed some things or made it easier. In ancycase, it would take someone willing to do it, and who goes "yah, I want to make bretonnia crafting"

I imagine all of the Chaos factions could use the same one, where your just spending influence (or just straight gold for Norsca) on “gifts” from one of the 4 chaos gods. Recycling can be renamed “make tribute”.

Legendary Ptarmigan posted:I think the betting is on Lokhir Fellheart, starting with a special black ark somewhere interesting, or a less likely Malus Darkblade with some Chaos association. Considering they're dusting off some interesting choices like Volkmar and Kemmler, I don't think it'd be outside the realm of possibility to see Beastlord Rakarth, either. Clar Karond would be the natural start, and it'd be a bonus towards harpies, manticores, and hydra. It would basically round out the sections of the Dark Elf army between Core Druchii (Malekith), Magic (Morathi), Cult of Khaine units (Hellebrone) and Beasts. It's still a bit of a long shot, but he had one of those sweet,  vintage Warhammer models:

Skaven more or less need three more Lords. Ikkit Claw leading Clan Skrye in Skavenblight. Throt the Unclean leading Moulder in Hellpit. And Thanquol starting wherever he needs to. Thanqoul taking control of a clan that is not his own makes sense. Maybe have him as a lord with multiple start positions being able to be selected part of Mors, Pestilens, Rictis, Skrye, or Moulder.

So I am playing long game hellebron. I almost have ulthuan but haven't touched morathis starting area so I only have 1 of the 2 locations to reduce the blood night penalties. Blood cruise costs 100 more slaves each time but caps out at 2000. Casting a bunch of these is more powerful late game when the AI controls more land. It seems when everyone has their own territory, they also have a small army that can defend it. The background income is lost and not really sure if the AI makes up for that. I think I have 3 floating around right now. The stronger blood cruise skill from Hellbron seems to be pretty meh. If you don't take the shrine of khaine before another dark elf, you will lose out on that unique item you get for doing it. I don't know if all dark elf factions have that quest for the unique amulet, but maybe they do. With high elf hell war, sisters of slaughters start losing their usefulness late game and you just have to rely on cheaper executioners. Also gently caress off settra. Stop sending fleets of boners at me.

I feel like Norsca has turned into idiots ever since I turned them into vassals in my Warriors of Chaos game. Wulfric and Throgg are not building up their armies or are using weak ones. They are also not occupy the nice ruins all over the place in Norsca. Like I can get them not stealing the Kislev buildings, but I don't get why they are not taking the Norscan ruins. Throgg also rufuses to open a new army. If he gets wiped out he waits to respawn rather then sending out another lord. Wulfrik is better in that he will make another lord, but he is not actually giving that lord any units. Even worse Har Ganath has come arcross the sea and started taking Norscan settlements, but Wulfrik and and Throgg are not doing anything.

Yeah, can't you direct your vassals the same as your military allies? I'll tell their armies to attack weak cities, or cities that I just sacked, if it's in a territory I don't want. They usually tend to do it. I do love allies, it's so sweet when you actually get them into a battle and have two different factions working together against a third. Conversely, I hate when you lose a city to rebels and your ally then takes it. I had a complete province and now you take the capital? Makes me an instant Dwarf, where I immediately factor into all of my plans that at some point I'm going to have to go to war with that ally. loving Ilyrion took my capital in Nagarythe, which is the only province I even want on Uthluan, and now I'm going to have to take down your whole faction. Way to go.

Currently the most is Vampire Counts with 5 (...6 if you count the Red Duke), with everyone else having less, and complaints about that saturation compared to everyone else already exist. Maybe if Tretch hadn't been thrown into the game it would have been possible, but as-is you're probably getting 2 more at most for the foreseeable future. So Thanquol and possibly one other, most likely.

See, I like this interpretation because the Green Knight appearing makes Bretonnians go "gently caress YEAH" while he murders a billion dudes. Thanquol appearing should make Skaven players go "aw gently caress" when he suddenly summons a Bloodthirster right into the melee that kills both sides while you were just trying to cast Warp Lightning

Have him be AI controlled in combat, with a ridiculously high miscast chance on everything he does, and hilariously powerful miscast effects.

Chaos invasions for me are free money. If you don't have something to deal with heavy armored assholes, you are doing something wrong. Other factions tend to be a bigger threat since they can balloon to well beyond the strength of chaos and also can have friends.

Blood cruise update. On the vortex map, I have most of ulthuan except for one place I gave my norsca bros. The only high elf is Lothern and they are way to the south with 21 settlements. I started a ritual, then hit blood cruise for the hell of it. I can now fully control the blood cruise. And this is weird.

https://www.totalwar.com/blog/what-the-teams-are-working-on-june-2018quote:The Queen & The Crone is the latest release from the Fantasy New Content Team, which also added a wealth of content for the Mortal Empires campaign. Not only that but we also breathed some life into older factions. This time we focused on the Dwarfs and the much-requested move for Ungrim Ironfist to start in his rightful place in Karak Kadrin, not to mention the Bone Giant being released alongside the Skull for the Skull Throne promotion (so if you own Tomb Kings, you now own the Bone Giant). Campaign pack means Tomb Kings size, so I'm guessing Dogs of War. More than a little surprised it's not going to be the second lord pack yet, but I guess it gives them some time to talk about Three Kingdoms while that's being worked on. quote:The Fantasy Team has begun pre-production for their next game, and it’s taking them to some dark, dark places. We fear they may never return – not with minds and souls intact, at least. Darklands/Chaos hints, nothing new to say. In terms of scheduling, 3 Kingdoms is going to be heavily previewed in June, blood pack for Thrones in July, and like the new Rome 2 Campaign pack somewhere in that time range, so probably August at the soonest for the next Warhammer 2 DLC. Oh and I guess Reddit confirmed that the "Monstrous Secret" will be announced next week, so that'll probably drop with finished version of the beta hotfix patch. madmac fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Jun 5, 2018 |
