Best thing to do with red climate settlements IMO is to settle them and then use region trading* to make them your buddy's problem. *Said mod is also handy to buy the last town that's controlled by an allied faction in a province you almost own.

I could kind of see Welves getting a Fenbeast as a centrepiece unit since it's vaguely nature-themed?smug jeebus posted:They used to have chariots and a handful of people were real mad about losing them lmao how does that even work for a forest dwelling race??

It never stops flying. They just hook it up to a different bird, like mid-air refueling.

The new units could be more gimmicky units related to the DLC-specific factions rather than core WE units maybe. So, hypothetically the Bowmen of Oreon don't get access to some of the Athel Loren units and instead get some jungle-specific units. Because otherwise, yeah, their roster is at least full of most roles and is just missing some extra caster types. They've got solid infantry variety, obviously some great archers, and a niche in actual shock medium cavalry and some weirder fun variants, like hawk riders, tree monsters, and Sisters. Their roster would feel complete even if they were missing some units from their army books (like how every race in existence seems to get chariots for some reason in the books) Also while I'd love a wardancer hero, melee foot bruiser heroes tend to end up sucking in practice.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:They could have different dances as sustained abilities to increase their utility. Yeah there are ways to do it that make them useful, and the WH2 heroes are definitely better at it than WH1, but "blends things on foot" doesn't work so hot without some significant force multiplication in terms of buffs/dances/bound spells. And from a read of the wiki, it seems like shadowdancers end up leaning into the magic side of things a bit more than wardancers so there's a path forward there, but that also is basically what a Branchwraith is. e: The changes to Strider that make units phase through trees is a neat one and I hope that some wood elf archers get the ability for their arrows to phase through trees too. Which would be kind of an insane buff but they could get nerfed elsewhere. Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Aug 5, 2020 |

there used to be some wood elf troop variation done through the seasonal courts, but that was about six editions ago.

Wood Elves will get a Sisters of Avelorn palette swap. It's only fair since the QatC DLC gave the High Elves tree units but in Minas Tirith white.

Ok. Since CA likes to make things as test runs for future things, new theory. Welves get some bears. Bears later used as kislev mounts.

Bears are just boars or demigryphs.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Yes the heroes are amazing and I would have two in every army if at all possible. The units are are amazing too and especially in a campaign as Wulfric with all the skill and research buffs. My usual setup is about 3 Marauders, 2 elite infantry, trog, werekin hero, fire sorc on horse, 2 javs, 2 horse skirmishers (usually axe), the ROR hounds, 1 ice wolf squad, and one were kin squad. Adjust as needed. It's doing ok. Should I up the number of werekin squads? I usually just run the unarmored version cuz I want to keep them cheap. Are the ROR any good?

I think there might be a gap for a WElf doggo unit, maybe something along the lines of the War Lions? Something cheap to pressure anyone that can out-range them. I guess Great Eagles are kinda in that slot, but they're single entities and don't have a great expense-to-squish ratio.

A mod I really like for both WE and HE is rather than have great eagles be one entity just make them into 5 per unit. Doing this and dividing the stats by 5 suddenly I actually use them and they perform decently well. I never liked the single entity version or had good results, especially for HE when phoenixes exist and are just better. also I am pro them getting a bear unit, every faction should have bears because bears are the best animal.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I usually run 4 Skinwolves because they're just that good, especially once you get a few techs and Wulfric's unique skills + red skills for them. I usually have Lord + Fire Sorcerer + 2x Werekin (one MA focused one armor focused), 4x Skinwolf Werekin, 4 Jav infantry, 2 Marauder horsemasters (axe throwers are good too), and the rest infantry to taste. I use the Skinvolves as my Hammer - they just shred anything if they get a rear charge in. Oh, I was specifically talking about multiplayer.
