I mean really I think if there was a mod that just gave infantry some level of blanket missile resist and then massively boosted their replenishment that would be enough for me.

It is this. The devs did a good job distancing them selves from the nazi lead, and have worked hard on making a game that they enjoy. But the fans are insufferable.

Ammunition requiring replenishment on the campaign map is a neat idea I’ve seen thrown around. Melee veterancy ranks improving missile resist and/or move speed could be cool too.

you should actually play sfo to stick it to the nazis. take over the player base and really effect change by voting from within. videogames are the domain of right-wing authoritarian manchildren. i bet this very thread is full of them.

good reasons to not play GRIMHAMMER: - the settlement management changes are dumb and the simple elegance of vanilla is superior - the battles take too long and nerf flanking charges too heavily - the campaigns take too long (basically any Empire game is gonna be 200 turns of fighting infinitely improving, immediately regenerating Vampire Counts doomstacks)(this actually owns and is the most fun thing to do in the entire game) - too many things to click on in the character details screens (wulfrik is both a horde and not a horde??  )- magic is OP and favors the player far too much since the AI can never really utilize magic well - siege battles are even more of a grind with expanded garrisons - you really like ranged doomstacks (which GRIMHAMMER doesn't remove, just limits) - you really like the base WH2 game and enjoy playing it a whole lot bad reasons to not play GRIMHAMMER: - a white nationalist used to be a developer (there are probably still white nationalist developers and absolutely are white nationalist players)(almost all videogames are for nazi manbabies) - people who like it are rude and yell at you for not playing it (the total war community is full of raging assholes period, now and forever)(long live twcenter) this applies to all mods and overhauls. imo try them all and see if you like them. if you don't, don't play em. awesome Ammanas fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Dec 14, 2020 |

It's weird to me how readily people accepted that the Steel Faith Order mod team was just one bad egg at the top and once he was kicked out and the others learned to keep their youtube playlists out of sight everything must be fine what a great mod to donate to.

There needs to be a version of this with twice as many people on both sides, only the ones on the left now alternate between firing out the current messages and 'actually it's super cool and metal!' and the second guy on the right is saying 'wow!! cool satire!!!'

albany academy posted:I always thought the phys resist spell was good tho Its fine. It and Flock of Doom are both worth having around until you get anything better, I guess. I'd rather use the Spellsinger for stealing technology if possible, since WElves have some nice techs that are worth getting quickly.

Legit confused at the people saying Lore of Beast sucks. It's has useful unit (de)buffs and Flock of Doom can carry you through the early game, while still being useful in the late game. I suppose it's not an interesting Lore for multiplayer and it's perhaps not ~optimal~, but you can get a lot of use out of that starting Beast caster. Especially since the Sisters' first enemy are greenskins and Flock of Doom was made to chew through gobbo's.

Is there a way to do the turn based stuff in the game without the real time battles? I want to lazily click with my mouse and not deal with the commitment of paying attention in battles

Split eagle into a multi entity unit and it may be usable, but as it is now it's probably the worst unit in game. Like not statswise, but as a monster/backline hunter.

The eagles really are bad, which is sad. Hawk riders are barely more expensive and are both archers and better at melee stuff.

Third World Reagan posted:A lot of people only see value in damage spells and do not understand the strength of little waaagh. Its more that other lores have better buffs. Wyssan's and Pann's are both great buffs, and i'll happily use a beastcaster, but in general there are better options available. Like, I think every race that has access to beasts has access to shadows which I think is an all-around better lore with stronger debuffs, and WElves at least have access to Life, with its better buffs.
