Can't wait to see in what kind of hilarious way this breaks the game again.

Concerned that chariots are now bad again and that bretonnian formations may be impacted negatively from the back row issue fixed.

I’m glad for this patch. Recently my pistoliers charged a mass of swordsmen and died.

Also, anyone worried that they are not doing vector math on the charge? Like a faster light cav may get a bonus in speed for damage if an enemy is running away when it should be a negative.

Mordja posted:I mean that kinda proves my point that a lot of the more interesting differentiation will come in DLCs. Like, I expect each Chaos faction to have a pretty standardized baseline at launch.  I disagree, I feel like there will be quite a bit differentiating the 4 (5?) Chaos factions such that they will not need DLC to be interesting. CA has been working on this for a long time; much of the concept art that they have shared has been some really different stuff for the different gods.Also I really dont think that they would release the game with 4 (5?) of the 6 (7?) factions being nearly identical.

I did a few tests, and if you play bretonnia on ultra and love wedge formation, I am sorry. All 4 of you bret fans. It seems worse than just a wide formation the larger the unit sizes are. On the other hand if you play on smaller unit sizes, you are better than before.

I hate lizards, I hate skeletons, I hate rats, and I loving hate elves. This thorek campaign is really getting me in a grudging mood I tell you what. Constant piles of assholes wardeccing me and then I beat their miserable hides to a bloody pulp and then some other puffed up turd on the other side of the mountains decides they want to have a go, so I have to drag the army over there to turn them into paste as well, and by that time some new prick has popped up to have a swing. I need to invent new ways to kill them even more dead because I am not satisfied with just the normal amount of killing I am doing to these assholes. At least teclis is loving dead, pointy eared prick that he is.

Athel loren isn't in this campaign, I'm playing dwortex. But I am absolutely going to go and raze araby for being related to khalida, and both elf continents for being elves. Lizards maybe live because most of them are actually alright it was just the rebels and that is mostly khalida's fault anyway.

I can't decide between doing an Archaeon playthrough now or seeing how it updates with WH3, if at all. And if so, any tips besides ditching the marauder building in favor of chaos warriors asap?

Befriend Clan Moulder and the Vampires, let them recolonize Empire settlements so you can actually hit your win condition. Expect Bretonnia to confederation train all the way down their coast and into the southern continent before you finish destroying them.

Archaeon is pretty easy to unlock. Warriors of Chaos is the only campaign I've ever beaten on Legendary but I don't know if my write up is relevant anymore. Also I think it's in the WH1 thread.

Yeah you have no idea how powerful a hellcannon is. It is always the most powerful unit in every chaos army that is smart enough to bring 1 or 5.

It might just feel that way because the relative paucity of ranged units in Warriors of Chaos. You've got, one, guys on horses with javelins, two, guys on horses with throwing axes, and three, giant phallic cannon. Of course it'll feel great.

William Bear posted:It might just feel that way because the relative paucity of ranged units in Warriors of Chaos. Nah it's legitimately one of the best artillery units in the entire game due to how versatile it is. It's good against blobs like a mortar, it's good against single targets like a cannon, it does armor piercing and magic damage, anything it hits takes a leadership penalty, and if for some reason it gets into melee it's unbreakable so as long as you rescue it it will be able to start shooting again,

It fires highly damaging, enemy-seeking, armor-piercing missiles with massive splash and is strong against everything. Unarmored blobs? easy. Armored infantry? dead. Flying lords? it's a self-guiding missile. Flying units? splash and homing, homie. Cavalry? Splash and homing and AP. It's never bad. Maybe against dudes standing in a forest. The only shortcoming is that you only get 1 per card but, frankly, that's not a big deal. Normal artillery misses half the time anyways. Best thing is, it has testicles and chaos dwarfs.

Hellcannons in lore sound way more like monsters that have a cannon on them, poo poo would be way cooler if it was basically a chariot and you have a firing mode where you anchored the chains and it had extended range but couldn't move. Add an enraged behavior where if too much blood was split it would break it's chains and charge into combat shooting the entire time.

Archaon's faction bonuses are very strong though, better than Sigvald's. Starting with a hellcannon is nice though, especially since the Kraka Drak dwarves like to always come pay a visit at some point. That said Chaos is very, very dull and I don't recommend it until WH3.

Also easier, Grimgor can dumpster the Dwarves, Vampires can dumpster the Empire and Moulder at least have Thrott to give their one desperation stack if things go bad a fighting chance.

It's pretty insane that CA introduced a faction then neglected it for half a decade just because of some time in the future they were gonna flesh them out more. They should have been making chaos undivided this entire time and only worked on the marked chaos factions for WH3.

RoyalScion posted:That said Chaos is very, very dull and I don't recommend it until WH3. In the sense of their roster variety, maybe. Chaos campaigns can be pretty harrowing, though. Like the beastmen before the patch, there’s often a feeling of always being hunted and always being one misstep from disaster. Replenishment isn’t as problematic for chaos armies, but they can’t hide and they can’t teleport. I would never play a chaos game to the end or anything, but I’ve always had a good time in the opening stages of a campaign.

So Reddit has convinced itself that WH3 is going to get delayed until next year, and that's why we're not hearing anything about it this week. Ignoring the fact that CA usually gives releases a week to simmer before they start marketing the next thingy, of course. Meanwhile, CATHAY PLEASE BE AWESOME. I was one of those idiots that hoped against hope that CA would go nuts and include Cathay, and I'm glad they did, but now I want them to get loving WEIRD with that poo poo.

I'm totally on board with constantly increasing warhammer weirdness in 3 and beyond, honestly. It's a win for everybody, imo. If you like playing the bizarre supernatural factions, your needs are met. If you're a dedicated Franz fanboy or Dorflord, you get newer and weirder things to shoot in the face with cannons, and it is an absolute truth that fighting off weirdo monstrosities with gunpowder and steel is the best form of glee those factions offer. Firing a line of artillery into massed infantry is really fun, but shooting a T-Rex or sniping a weeaboo samurai lord riding a Kirin in mid-flight is the pinnacle of imperial glory imo.

The big strength of total warhams is definitely that I can just fight anyone from any of the other total war games against anyone else and also the entire monster manual at the same time. Really cannot imagine going back ot historical total war ever again.

Yeah i don't think i could ever go back to humans with swords fighting humans with spears. If they want to do that they should take one of the many low magic fantasy settings and make a game out of that.
