buddhist nudist posted:For people living on the borderlands in Warhammer and Real History, raids and border conflicts were a fact of life. The idea of peace being a complete lack of armed conflict is a relatively modern concept. I'd much rather have levels of conflict between "peace" and "war of extermination" rather than more opportunities to start a war. the only thing you can do to stop a raiding party is war. it would be different if you could kill or drive off raiders without starting a war which comes with diplo baggage.

Azran posted:- WH3 reveal halfway through 2020, 2021 release date I'm a bit more optimistic, I think they reveal it in roughly the same time frame they did Warhammer 2. Reveal around February/March with a release in September/October 2020. Keep in mind they released Isabella/Bretonnia less than a month before they announced Warhammer 2, so in that time frame we could definitely see DLC/patch in December and DLC/Greenskin rework in February/March. It's also likely that I will be wrong but by next September it will have been, horrifyingly, 3 years since Warhammer 2 was released. Also CA loves September, February and May as release months for their tentpole games. 99pct of germs fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Sep 9, 2019 |

Yeah it shouldn't be "treacherous" to attack a stack that's raiding your land but has trade/NAP. The raiders are the ones being treacherous.

How about a faction declaring war on your Waaagh stack or your Bray Herd, inevitably dragging you into conflict with someone you're allied or NAP'd with, and thereby ranking your reliability status?

In before he summons a Bloodthirster accidentally. When Thanquol is defeated and inevitably reappears, he needs to have a new rat ogre with the same name. Models must be unique.

Raiding is kinda harmless really, both in terms of the damage it does and the benefit it delivers to the raider. I think if they were to make raiding so momentous it would need to be much more drastic in its effect. IMO, it's quite acceptable right now - getting raided is just the price of making a deal with an rear end in a top hat. Maybe they can add a GET OUT OF MY LAND treaty that would make trespassing a treacherous act of war?

I'd like to think that the Norsca disaster taught CA some extremely valuable lessons about version control, given how much the massive cock-up probably cost them in terms of man-hours and potential lost revenue from having to devote resources to fixing their mess pro bono rather than pushing more DLC development.

What I thought was oddest about Norsca was that it was the pre-order bonus for game 2 but isn't playable without owning game 1. I'm sure a non-zero amount of people who didn't own game 1 pre-ordered. Also I want a Norsca faction to play in Vortex. Maybe Valkia up in the central north, unlike ME Norsca you'd have a tiny and easily-defensible homeland and be free to raid whoever.

Safety Factor posted:That really does elevate Gor-rok in my eyes though. In my Tenenhuain campaign I didn't get Kroak until fairly late and didn't get him to a high level. He was still basically a floating frog WMD even at low levels so I can only imagine how crazy he'd get later. It sucks they nerfed him into the loving ground. Like I don't think they've hit anything that hard in a single patch since they cut Morghur's summons in half

new phone who dis posted:You still need Malus Darkblade, the guy with the demon inside him. Transforming into a demon would be cool and he has a whole inbuilt series of quests he goes on in his books that could be incorporated into the campaign system. I was just reading an interesting take on this. Someone on reddit suggested a Dark Elves vs. Bretonnia pack. That could work... although Bretonnia's roster is already beyond their TT roster.

A Dark Elf vs Daemons would be the perfect place to bring in Malus Darkblade and put him against Valkia the Bloody. Replace Valkia with his literal Daemon Nemesis, the Slaanesh daemon Tz'arkan, and that is basically where i stand on the issue as well.

So my adventures with the Empire in Mortal Empires continue: - Wiped Vampire Counts off the map, the lingering corruption is annoying as gently caress and I hate that this mechanic takes forever even with multiple heros with cleanse and Untainted buildings - Dwarves are my closest ally and fully united, they are loving everything up south of the mountains - I left a few empire allies alone to screen enemies for me but a few of them are confederation options now - Skaven from the northeast near Kislev are starting to creep in I'm at turn like 80 or something like that. I just got a big scary thing about a Chaos Invasion from the north. Are they going to come through the Nosca territory or something like that? Should I be heading up north to shore up my allies there and deal with the Skaven poo poo near Kislev? What am I looking at here in terms of challenge? I've got like 4-5 full stacks of varying strength, my main army is tanks + LL + 2 captains and a shitload of gunners/artillery. This mechanic seems annoying, I just have ever present chaos corruption until I kill them I guess but I can't even see them on the map or have any idea where they are going to pop up. My economy is pretty good, like 11k per turn so I'm thinking maybe I should just murder the Skaven on this continent before they become annoying but I don't want to be fighting on 2 fronts if Chaos shows up.
