There are always precisely enough elves and dwarves as the situation demands. Them being limited in number is always vague, especially if you line them up against the skaven, orks, and undead. It doesn't mean that there aren't millions of them. 10 million elves could field enormous armies, but they would still be limited in number compared to 500 million orks, or a billion ratmen.

The high and dork elves have the best replenishment in the game though, which feels kind of silly compared to how hard orcs, for example, have it. I mean I'm not complaining but it's sad that elves are more fun than orcs even for normal, non-me people. Orcs should be fun. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Nov 27, 2019 |

Gay Horney posted:the complete lack of anything for orcs since skarsnik makes me hopeful that they have something big planned I mean they are without a doubt the target of the following DLC, and it is shaping up to be a Grom the Paunch vs Eltharion the Grim matchup. Orcs in Ulthuan. The actual rework will hopefully be as big as the empire one if not even bigger. Oh and some other interesting stuff:  I really do hope they tell us just what sorcery they actually did!

Not sure if anyone posted it yet but Lucky just said via discord his Overhaul update should be out tomorrow and he's currently just cleaning up submods. Also mentions he's going straight into preparing for the new DLC. He even acknowledged it was a long wait and he'd explain more later

CA confirmed on Discord that the new Skryre stuff will make it into Ikit’s workshop as well. After all the grumbling yesterday after the datamine leak the trailer is currently at 8.4k likes and 82 dislikes lol

I think it's kind of funny the Eshin DLC has two more Skryre weapons teams, but I don't think CA can help themselves at this point. Just listen to the warp grinder team in the trailer cackling maniacally as they break down a gate.

Goddamn Skaven are gonna have so many units whenever Thrott gets added. Thanquol as well, though he can probably get alone just fine on his own. So what are the units niches? Warp Grinders sound like armoured, armour piercing melee units with some ability to lock down targets, so maybe a bit of an anti cavalry niche as well? Walls as well I guess. The globe mortars are probably gonna be longer ranged that most ranged units but not as much as artillery with a little more mobility than that, decent armour piercing aoe and then the Eshin guys are somewhere between Plague monks and stormvermin in terms of killiness, probably less glass cannon than the plague monks. For the Dark Elves, the chariots sound like fast anti large and probably a bit more survivable than most chariots? Then the Medusas are just the big centrepiece units that are kind of similar between the armies. thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Nov 27, 2019 |

gently caress if I know. In all seriousness, I would look for a mod that removes the Amber requirement for your cities first. That would remove a lot of the aggravation from building and confederating.

Jarvisi posted:Doesn't it let you play as the glorious Tod in multiplayer? Todbringer in Multiplayer is from Beastmen, it's Red Duke for Wood Elves (their minicampaign map extends far enough to the west that Red Duke is on it, even though there's no reason to ever spread that far west because the minicampaign can be done without leaving Athel Loren iirc)

I wonder if Repanse will get her own unique campaign mechanics and cutscenes? It might just be the same chivalry bar, but she can’t have the same final battles as Old World/ME.

That's not Grimgor's only problem. He has bad HP, attacks that are really only in their element against tanky but low damage elite troops, and bad abilities.

malus' entire thing is that he is dumb as hell. he gets outplayed pretty much every time he gets a plan together, and ends up having to hack and slash his way out while mortgaging a little more of his soul to his demon buddy. as of end of book stories and evidently start of this one, Malekith has handed him a blank check to act in his name, a potion that keeps the demon eating him bit by bit at bay, and a reminder "piss me off and you stop getting refills, edgeboy" so, of course, malus' priority list reads "find way to backstab demon, find way to backstab witch king, I dunno, we'll play this by ear," because Malus is dumb as HELL.

I suspect part of it is making minor unplayable factions do less and get conquered more quickly. Maybe killing off some of the dumb vampirates minors who just sail around doing nothing thing all game.

Even if “60%” really means “anywhere between 25% and 60%” depending on this that and the other thing I’d still be pretty happy tbh.
