Nephthys posted:Watching some MP matches my two biggest takeaways are that Aranessa and Lokhir look a lot better than they did in the tournament. Janet on Occasion showed off that Aranessa just freaking destroys anything large if she gets the chance to attack it. She obliterated an Arch Lector with a 22% ward bonus in literally (and I mean literally) 10 seconds. I think her animation lets her hit multiple times because she chunked him for 1200 damage in a few seconds by swinging around on her spear. A bit later she wiped out a full health Warrior Priest with the same attack. Aranessa does a literal pole dance, except because her legs are swords, she also slashes everything around her.

Is there much else in the game that has an AoE +vs. large like Aranessa’s spear thing? That seems very powerful if you can make even your sword units into viable anti-large.

From the bits and pieces I've seen, Vsea look like a formidable campaign faction. And bloated corpses are super cheap, and as expected very effective against the AI. Also I love how you can raise dead at sea.

ThingOne posted:Edit: the RoR Necrofex has a 1243 damage flamethrower It also looks completely useless since it has poo poo range and it can be staggered like a giant, which interrupts its firing animation and prevents it from doing any ranged damage at all if it's being attacked by, say, a single unit of crossbowmen.

Quick question: ME Norsca, if you join Archie you get thrown into war with everyone. What happens if you punch him in the dick instead? I'd rather keep my alliance with elfvader than watch him fizzle out somewhere in Kislev and then hellwar everyone.

Most of the lizard roster is already in the game. I'm not too familiar with the tabletop, but I think everything they have left on their roster are variants of units we already have in the game, like "this is a ranged variant of a normally melee unit." CA already made up some units from whole cloth for the lizards in this game, IIRC the feral dinos are an invention of this game.

Probably the main missing dinos are Salamanders, Razordons, whatever those mad flying dinos that hate frogs are called, and that big blind cave tyrannosaurus whose name I'm blanking on. Also you've got a bunch of buff Skinks. You've also got the "Thunder Lizard" which appeared in a few lore snippets/White Dwarf lore blurbs. Basically the biggest dino.

Senor Dog posted:someone please translate this Archeon is the Everchosen of the Chaos gods. Don't fight it. Accept it. Love it. Join him in burning the world. Opposing him gives you some nice buffs, sure. But then you have to go get your victory conditions by yourself while the whole world declares war on you. And thats a real slog. Better to let the pet of the Chaos gods do the boring work of burning every little town. You get to pick the best fights for yourself and grab the victory conditions while the entire world is distracted killing Archeon and/or being killed by him.

If you go against him you have a few chaos fights to win and then you're just autoresolving to a painted map. The game is still fun if you let him do his thing.

It's too bad there aren't any ending cinematics for Norsca or the other old world factions I too am nostalgic for the days when slogging through a fifty-hour campaign was rewarded by a twelve second choppy video file of a fluttering flag or something. I am not joking I really want that video. You Win! Click here for score is such an anticlimax.

We are missing: Salamanders, which are flame cannons, but as dinos Razordons, which are spike organ guns, but as dinos Altar of Sotek, which is an altar that shoots a stream of snakes at enemies(mounted on a dino) Ripperdactyls, which are flying melee dinos Troglodons, which are big blind dinos Dread Sauruses, which are bigger, armored dinos and Thunder Lizards, which are the biggest dinos. Also Coatl a flying snake dino, which could be someones mount. Salamanders and Razordons are most likely and most important additions, because they should give Lizardmen some much needed ranged firepower.

There's also the Engine of the Gods, which is kind of a support unit from what I can tell. Thunder Lizards never got a model, and Great Saurians were Forge World only, though they look very cute in this art. Who's a good boy?

IIRC Hierotitans also never got a model but they were still in the game before CA gave the TK bone giants. I could see them adding in Thunder Lizards. Really I just want more dinosaurs. Lizardmen battles are at their best when they're a cross between pop-culture Mesoamericans and Jurassic Park-but-with-lasers.

For some reason no-one has brought her on her crab yet so she might be decent at dueling on that, but shes so squishy on foot. I can't see a reason to take her if she can't dumpster characters, its her only role and she dies so easily. Anyway, Italian Spartacus released a video exploring the new Bloodlines for the Counts and they all seem pretty strong and cool. The Blood Dragon lord is apparently strong enough to solo Kholek which is neat. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Nov 3, 2018 |

There's probably a middle ground between "Aranessa touched my lord in melee combat and completely executed them in two attack animations from full hp" and "Aranessa is completely and totally useless". There is absolutely no way that she should be able to Fist of the North Star a character like that. Beat their rear end down, sure; she should be a really rough matchup for any mounted lord to consider, especially since she has a net. But she shouldn't be able to instakill them in 7 seconds.
