Wasn't Mordheim razed by... I want to say Magnus the Pious, but maybe I'm wrong, like a long time ago? If it's been added I don't see it being an Empire-held city.

I misremembered then, I thought that happened first, then the Mordheim TT game takes place after that and a bit later the Empire razes it.

Aspiring champions are that 12-man unit. Their point is to buff leadership and kill ghosts.

I know that people are mixed on characters adding more stat bonuses to their armies since that leads to numbers inflation, but I hope melee heroes at least did that so they felt like they had a role in an army apart from trying to fight enemy characters or tanking mobs while shooters destroy everything. Or maybe they should come with magical weapons as base, so they can be used to face off against ghosts.

Any tips on ME vamp counts? Its turn 60ish and I'm stuck treading water with three stacks defending five provinces against infinite hordes of humans. I win fights but have to spend all my money raise deading muy destroyed army after. At least the lords are wrecking machines. Im vlad and izzy, manny got eaten after he refused to confederate.

There aren’t enough of them per unit to hold up against full sized endgame infantry units, but they’re good as early game flankers or for reinforcing weak points in a battle line.

Under-Empire has the Vcoast 50% of a settlements income building as well, but for every city and not just coastal ones. Opens up a new interesting play style where you can sit in Skavenblight, and just under-empire everywhere instead of actually expanding. Also the jezzail workshop uppgrades and research turns them into basically artillery.

Really, the +50% movement range thing seems to me to actually be the most powerful one. Build that one strategically and you essentially got yourself a serious of rat highways. The Skavenbahn? The Rattobahn? A fun thing to accomplish to me seems to be to attempt a kind of simultaneous devastating strike on some place. Dig your way up to Reikland for instance, and synchronize it so the doomsphere in Altdorf and the Vermintide in neighboring regions complete at the same time. Take out Altdorf with a nuke at the same time Skaven armies pop up all over the place. Show Archaon how to do a real apolalypse.

Oh my god, that mine-shaft expansion thing is just perfect. I was ever so slightly skeptical about the DOOMsphere considering you might as well just raze a city yourself if you're attacking it, but the idea that you can make the thing from several provinces away... E:Why would you ever not play as Ikit Klaw? He's the only one with the workshop, right? Also his skill tree looks nuts.

I was ever so slightly skeptical about the DOOMsphere considering you might as well just raze a city yourself if you're attacking it, but the idea that you can make the thing from several provinces away... Feels to me like each Skaven clan, at least the major ones like Pestilens and Moulder should have their own version. For Pestilens it would obviously be a devastating plague that can spread to neighboring provinces and causes massive attrition and skaven corruption and poo poo. For Moulder I don't know, monsters? That's probably not implemented in this patch. But Pestilens at least, down the line, should have the ability to spread plagues by way of the under-cities. I really hope Skaven AI kind of undersand this concept and will prefer to expand by way of under-cities rather than direct expansion, will make them a much more insidious threat. All of it also kind of supports turtling up in a nigh unassailable capital, like Skavenblight, while your empire expands underground until you get to the point where you blow somethign up with a nuke and ratmen start pouring out of the ground to end the world of men.

ad090 posted:Lizardmen playthrough is most likely tomorrow as there is another dlc showcase scheduled for then. I can't see how it could be better than this. It's just sacrificing rats and getting boons from the Serpent god whatever that will entail. There's no way that can compare to building a giant, insidious underground conspiracy to fund your research and construction of super weapons and eventually explode the world. If the completion of the doomsphere isn't accompanied by a giant sickly-green mushroom cloud then CA will have failed.

Summoning a hopefully giant serpent god in battle seems like it could be amazing. As far as the sacrifice mechanic it depends on what the buffs are and the other benefits that sacrificing gives that we don't know yet. I do in general agree though, the flavor and power of everything the skaven are getting is insane.

Expand under empire to vampire counts. Give empire some stuff to fight off any under empire thing Also bret but make it give +chiv or something. Orks get extra waaagh I really want to see some factional things to fight or benefit from under empires. Kinda like stellaris corps.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1703012941&searchtext= This mod revamps the Bretonnian Vows so that in order to attain that level of progression, instead of just spending in the skill point to "become" a Grail Knight or whatever, the Lord needs to defeat an event army in order to qualify. It's really cool, and the modder knows that the official Bretonnia revamp is coming so hopefully they'll jive. But I'm bringing this up for another reason: the mod also gives you bonuses for confederating with the Duchies, per their lore-appropriate specialization. This is something I want to see with the Empire; each of the provinces is known for something, and it's not just the more prominent ones like Middenland and Wissenland. You can translate these bits of lore into some appropriate bonus like +ranks for shooters when you confederate or vassalize Hochland, +growth/income for Averland, etc. That way, you can actually play like a proper not-HRE, maintaining the integrity of the Empire and benefiting from it instead of just blobbing all the way.

Legit feel like the Warhammer TW games have suffered the most from a lack of ambition that has slowly, over time, begun to manifest. Remember the design of LLs at game 1's launch? Or what the core four factions had as gimmicks? Step by step this has gotten better and better, and we've gotten some really cool & insane features cross-ported and enhanced; the TK crafting system added to the Dawi, the VC coves expanded upon and added to Skaven, etc... Biggest regret right now is them not going full madhouse from the start, but oh well. If things keep going this way game 3's factions are going to have some amazing campaign gimmicks and mechanics.

I think that a big part of the reason why the game one factions are so much simpler is because they were testing the waters with their most asymmetrical title yet. The most vocal of their fans aren't known for being easy after all.
