It only gets worse from here on in...

It is. Or more specifically the background is too "dominant", which fucks with the readability in my opinion. Actually reading the text and icons is annoying and I find I have to actually focus on it, instead of being able to get what it says by just quickly glancing at it.
It's something that should be easily modded. But I imagine the GUI design is not exactly color-blind friendly, and competent GUI design ought to take that into consideration.:colbert:

For whatever it's worth I'm red-green colorblind and haven't felt like I've had any problem reading things in the UI when watching the various videos they've been putting out.

I mean, no. You subjectively don't like it. That's totally fine. Your opinion is totally valid.

My post about it was facetious mostly because the forums and reddit have taken it to an extreme. Not liking the red is fine, and I'm pretty sure we'll see mods that try to change/alleviate it eventually. But specific people on reddit and the forum grogs are like... really hyperfixated on it and saying it ruins the game entirely and other hyperbolic poo poo like that.

It's mostly just internet nerds wanting to be the loudest voice, I guess. Not liking the red for aesthetic, comfort, usability, readability, or other subjective reasons is fine, that's how personal preference works; claiming that the game is dogshit because the UI is too red (which they're implying) is... Pontus.

EDIT: Also, looks like the content creators have had the game for a bit, and the embargo drops tomorrow (Wed, Jan. 19th) at 6PM Bri'ish time (1PM Eastern). Prepare thine eyeballs accordingly.

I'm fairly certain you get hit with a harsh diplomatic penalty with all factions if you go to war with a fraction you are trading with. You also lose relations with factions that don't like factions you trade with.

If he was playing high elves seeing more of the map could also make enemies aware of him too soon. The ai won't send waves of armies across the entire map to kill you if they don't know you exist.

He's going to conquer them soon and doesn't want to take the diplo penalty by not waiting out 10 turns before breaking a treaty. He could also have not wanted to piss off another faction he already has bad relations with by making a treaty with an enemy of theirs.

This thread tends to go too hard in the opposite direction in what is seemingly an attempt to appear as contrarian to reddit as possible, while acting as though anyone who has something minor that they don't care for is frothing at the mouth in extreme gamer rage. It's ok to not think that absolutely everything is 100% perfect. Like, the TWW2 DLC unit cards were pretty low quality and out-of-place before they were revamped. Didn't ruin the game by any means, but they weren't good.

If you make agreement with another faction you have to wait 10 turns until you break it or you take a reliability penalty. If you're planning on attacking them soon it's not worth it.

If you're trying to maintain a good relationship with a faction and you enter into a deal with their enemy it can hurt your relations.

Barely. If you're going to go to war with someone, it's best to cancel all your deals ahead of time to avoid the diplomatic malus. Also, the other AIs will judge you for making deals with the wrong people (which is why it's best not to trade with the pirates, because everyone hates them).

Most people I believe agreed with reddit about the covid dlcs' unit card art, they along with I strongly disagree that WH3's unit card are as similarly trash as those two dlc WH2 unit cards.

You have to wait 10 turns before you break it AND you have to wait 10 turns after breaking it.

I finished that volkmar campaign I mentioned a while back


I lost Altdorf at turn 53 and managed to turn it around and get short campaign victory at turn 164

by comparison my Taurox campaign ended at turn 55




old campaign objectives vs new is such a huge difference in terms of requirements that it's almost unbelievable

Note that most of the later DLC add-on lord campaigns were generally shorter (sometimes much shorter) than the original TWW2 Vortex campaign, let alone stuff in Mortal Empires/TWW1. This dying god stuff seems to be the crux of what practically all the launch factions (possibly bar Ogres) revolve around for their campaign, so Vortex is probably the far more apt comparison than either Taurox or the original. And Vortex could take quite a while, if nowhere near as long as map painting. I fully expect the campaign progression to be much better implemented than Vortex, but whether it's actually shorter - and if so by how much - is hard to guess.

Future DLC lords having much shorter campaigns than whatever this turns out to be is a fairly easy bet though.

We got a whole lot of DLC over the longer than anticipated lifespan of 2 without them ever doing Araby, so I think they can manage to keep this game going for years without having to asspull new armies for factions like Nippon. That's leaving aside whether GW would even let them do it, which is far from clear.

They should do a 4th game. Nippon (human and tengu factions), Snakemen of Kuresh, Kingdoms of Ind (Moneyman, Tigerman, human factions), Araby

I still hope there's some way Be'lakor is playable, either unlocked through beating the campaign or a twist in the Undivided campaign or a future DLC or something, but I'm not holding my breath at this point. The new lord seems loving awesome either way.
