jokes posted:Empire vs. Orcs is a funner and cooler time than vampire poo poo The only match ups that are more reversed for me in terms of enjoying the dynamic than Vamp v Empire as opposed to being on the other side of it, is playing as early game Ikit vs against him. I loooove swarming down Empire as Vamps, it is so satisfying and feels like a good necromancer simulator kind of game almost. Putting down Vamps as Empire early game on the other hand is often a loving nightmare. And so it is with Ikit. Ask not for whom the ratling gunner brrrs, for it goes brrrs for thee.

How the gently caress can these cannons not fire? They didn't fire a single shot that entire battle despite them being on a perfect bit of terrain to fire from. They were elevated and looking out onto a flat open plain and didn't fire once. Those Crane Gunners in front fired constantly every time something was in range despite having a worse arc of fire and other infantry right in front of them. This bug is new right? This poo poo didn't happen in WH2.

Why don’t they have a limber/unlimber option like horse artillery did in Empire and Napoleon?

Because then if the oxen were to get spooked by something like maybe a loud explosion or a giant demon or something like that then they won't run away from the battle they'll run towards it. It's just good design. Also in the process of making this mod I'm working on I've found so many things that just don't work at all. There's a innate trait one of the caravan masters gets which doesn't do anything. Don't pick the clandestine one.

Kanos posted:Some form of anti-player bias needs to exist because the player is orders of magnitude more intelligent and driven than the AI(there are mods that turn the bias off in TWW2 and it makes the game so comically easy it's hilarious), but there seems to be no sanity or priority checks on it. I remember back in TWW2 playing around with a "Teclis starts in the badlands" mod and had Malekith drop everything and sail across the ocean with a half stack to try to take Barak Varr. Yeah I feel like there should be a middle ground for anti-player bias that doesn't include the AI dropping everything it is doing to send a army halfway across the world to besiege your weakest settlement, most often losing it's empire to a neighbor in the process because it's undefended.

More artillery not firing. Once again prime position - not a single artillery piece fired all battle. What's happening is the animation to fire is playing, sort of, but nothing is coming out the end. The puffs of smoke there are the animation for the fire rain rockets playing but there's no deadly rain of rockets coming out the end. I can even begin to imagine what causes it or how to fix it.

Try validating your files? It sounds like something has gone wrong and I'm definitely firing/getting hit by cannons in the same positions you have them. I'm not sorry to see limbering and unlimbering go. With how much faster the fights are and how many units that can close on a cannon much quicker (fliers, tough cavalry) you'd never get to use an artillery piece that had to deploy without either never moving your army or leaving it behind and risking its destruction.

Either they will fire as normal in a battle or not at all. It's probably about 50/50. It's also not just me. If my cannons won't fire then the AIs cannons won't fire either.

Sure, but validating your files might turn up that something got corrupted. I remember someone complained about this when the game just came out and I think it turned out to be some corrupted files.

Real Muenster posted:Just lol if you think the game would have such useful and sensible features from older games from the same franchise. We dont have grapeshot, the ability to toggle arrows to be flaming or not, so why would we be able to have artillery limber/unlimber? In their defence, there are already a ton of clickables to micro compared to old games due to spells and abilities. I can see a gameplay argument for the change. Plus tons more animations vs just five or six variants of Dude with Weapon shared by everyone. I'll take a hellpit over cannons unlimbering or handguns reloading even though I'd rather both.

Yeah spells and some other things have taken the place of abilities and such, that's fine. The button I'd really like to see is something to tell a unit to repeatedly keep trying to do the same order, like telling your lord to target an enemy lord in a moshpit instead of repeatedly getting distracted and turning their back to the fucker that hits them for hundreds of damage.

The combat engine for Warhammer requires way too much spam clicking in general. And it's not like AoE or Starcraft where "APM" implies doing lots of different actions quickly, it's "click 30 times to make sure your chariots don't pause in the moshpit."

So what you are saying is that the AI needs to be buffed enough such that they can all constantly send stacks your way while also being able to defend and, perhaps, expand their own borders (if it's a major civ). Good thinking!

Foul Fowl posted:i mean just imagine how much better this game would be if the campaign map was just a bunch of provinces, you could move one province a turn, that's it. no more whack a mole, guessing if the last 3% of your movement is enough to get you somewhere, etc. etc. it would cut out so much of the time wasted fiddling with movement and watching the AI with absolutely nothing of value lost. They did that in Medieval Total war. It was a loving nightmare.

I have enjoyed this game about as much as I enjoyed the previous Warhammer Total Wars. I would still redo the last battle as it doesn't really work properly for me. But it's still fun doing things. I did prefer Cathay to the Demons mark you, but it is all going well.

I'm fine with the way army movement works. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater by dumbing the the whole thing down. There's better ways of addressing things like whack a mole: passive movement buffs in friendly territory, support buildings that buff local movement, AI behavior that has a % chance to make suboptimal decisions or has their vision adjusted, etc. I'd like to see more granular difficulty settings too. So you can different iterations of aggression, numbers, and strength. With unit buttons, there are a few units that do have different modes-wardancers can swap between two stances (though the animations don't change). Generally instead of fire arrow mode you simply have an alternate variant with that property (Brettonia, wood elves). Though to that end I do wish you could upgrade existing units and simply pay the difference (upgrading a unit of Darkshards to the shielded version to preserve veterancy for instance). Regarding AI focus on the player there just needs to be a trait that has the AI biased towards the player, other minor factions or other major factions.

One thing I wish they would fix in the campaign is how an army will automatically start taking a 10 turn route around an entire continent to get to place they could get to in 2 or 3 turns by water.

I'm making good progress on my Legendary Skarbrand campaign. I got 3/4 souls and managed to cheese Tzeentch's realm with one of the guides. I think I got it in the fewest possible turns I could have, in fact, or close to it. Ku'gath was booted out of Tzeentch's realm early because of this. However, instead of allowing me to pull ahead, this was early enough that they could head back in and get another soul. Seems kind dumb! Luckily I think I could take him out if I needed to.
