The worst part of any total war game has always been sieges. Hard to learn, easy to master and can be cheesed so much. So the mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1569053244 is pretty good. Can't take a while to get used to no walls, but the campaign benefits soo much from this. In other news, I just started a new ME campaign with the orcs. Pretty weird that the most viable orc lords are night goblin warlords. I have Azhag at level 6 and a night goblin warboss at level 4, and the night goblin warboss is the most useful by far. Discount troops with poison and superb melee attack that are underestimated by the AI is pretty powerful. The spellcaster without spells and mediocre melee defence and his army of cowardly orc boys .. is not .. that useful.

I’ve been going through campaigns with leaders I have never touched before and it’s a fun going through. The alternate dwarf starts are pretty fun and I’m sad I didn’t try them earlier.

Grace confirmed next dlc drops in September. Wouldn't surprise me to see a teaser towards the end of August.

Yeah, Eltharion vs. Grom the Paunch could be likely as a test run for WH1 factions and content coming to WH2 as DLC without needing the first game.

Old Friends could be the Vermintide crew so they can finally be in a game that is properly updated and maintained.

My only complaint with the mod is that some faction garrisons are just terrible and will regularly have 20/80 odds of defeating regular rebellions even if you invest in more troops and some mods just make the problem worse, last time I played I had a mod that removed minor settlement walls and kept capital city walls just so rebellions didn't keep me at home 24/7 and so enemy capitals weren't steamrolled by a couple low tier stacks on the open field.

There was also a big update to Lucky’s Overhaul today for the people here who enjoy that mod. Lots of new Empire stuff. quote:UNITE THE EMPIRE

I'm looking forward to trying out the updated Empire in Luckys Overhaul. It's cool how you can do a bunch of setpiece battles to build rep with allies, and might be a great way to build up xp for your legendary lords.

But all that FLC is only covering the ones around this coming DLC, not the one after that. So at least we know there’s a lot still planned.

TipsyMcStagger posted:This game makes them moolah doesn't it? I mean I feel like total war Warhammer have got to be their best sellers TWW1 was their fastest selling game until Three Kingdoms. I think Rome 2 is still the best ever selling TW, though. Warham undoubtably makes them crazy bank but it’s also the one that they have to pay royalties on. Games Workshop made £11.4M off of royalties last year - 87% of that was from PC and console games and a large chunk of that was from TW. Anno fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Aug 2, 2019 |

Yeah didnt they kill it off explicitly because they licensed out the IP for use in Total War: Warhammer and they were worried it would do ~things~ to the IP or something?

The new CEO is a lot better so they’re pivoting away from peak insanity at least. (And also pissing off the fashy Warhammer fans which is always a plus) Gotrek is in age of Sigmar now and he calls himself a dwarf and relentlessly mocks the Duardin Fyreslayers who worship him for being goofy idiots who have a dumb name

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Yeah didnt they kill it off explicitly because they licensed out the IP for use in Total War: Warhammer and they were worried it would do ~things~ to the IP or something? Nope. They killed it off over a period of like a year and a half while they worked on rebooting the setting because it wasn't as popular as 40K, hence why the initial Age of Sigmar release was Not!Space Marines and a bunch of old factions with new, trademarked names. GW's IP licensing plan is to basically give developers a carte blanche so long as they properly represent their products. CA making an option where Chaos is defeated and the Age of Peace(?) reigning is not them giving the finger to GW, it's them rewarding players fot surviving the end game challenge. I still feel that End Times is inevitable for Warhammer 3, since most of the factions are already represented and Nagash has had a brief cameo in WH2.

Age of Sigmar, FWIW, has been reasonably successful for them. It is sort of amusing the lack of an unified strategy but I guess it has worked out in the financials.

The DLC that I really want, if we won't get a new faction, is one that gives every TW:Warhammer 1 faction a starting position and LL in Vortex campaign and either makes them part of Vortex race or gives them their own story-line with unique mechanics. I would really like to see old races updated and properly integrated into TW:W2 and Mortal Empires is kinda it, but it's just kinda half-baked with its implementation and more importantly, utterly miserable to play and finish.

It sucked total rear end at first but imo it’s become a genuinely fun setting. It just doesn’t scratch the same itch as old Warhammer at all, also it’s still ludicrously expensive. Somehow still more affordable than “10 skeletons at 50 bucks, you will need 250 skeletons”

My understanding is that it kinda depends on what part you like, right? Like it sucks if you like dwarves, pretty cool if you are a fan of Arkhan the Black.

Yeah the sigmarines, chaos, and the spooky skeletons have gotten more love than everyone else, but it looks like that’s changing. The orcs are getting a proper book and there’s a new faction that looks like it’s going to be basically Empire complete with the hats. Proper Tyrion-y elves and ogres after that. It’s a shame they murdered Warhammer cuz a lot of the AoS factions would fitnpretty well in TW. Like Night Goblins being a whole roster of their own instead of a greenskin gimmick, or chaos leaning hard into the distinct gods instead of being faceless Archaon clones.
