THanks! It really is such a stupid mechanic that the AI has no idea how to use. I quit my last game as Kairos in frustration since my own loving Tzeentch vassals wouldn't stop transfering my settelements to the enemy.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
Zerk did some T1 Infantry testing and for anyone struggling with Slaanesh: pink Marauders are absolute lads. Outlasting Nurglings and Jade Warriors, overcoming volley damage taken to beat out Blue Horrors.. they just have so many useful pieces(speed, shields, MD, damage output) to make up for their gimmick of "lol 5 armor." Just try to limit their suicide fodder front activity to 1:1 so they don't take attacks too fast and suffer from that armor absence. In a tier where 25+ MA is a lot you'll find 42 MD is crazy good.

You also very easily farm -15% upkeep reduction for Marauder followers since the condition is "use Marauders in a battle", letting you more than 2:1 Marauder upkeep vs trying a Daemonette frontline.

I honestly had Tzeentch fuckery happen only a couple of times and they were both Kairos giving me settlements as Nurgle. But I never NAPed them and also steadily obliterated them off the map. I imagine Cathay has a differing experience unmodded.

I'm kinda holding off on Slaanesh for IE because I feel like the faction mechanics will just be so much better.

I like the mods that add chaos warriors to each faction, like Khorne has, although they sort of make every chaos army basically unstoppable by giving them a heavily armored murder front line.

God dammit, I need IE. I was playing as Katarin, which is actually a LOT less stressful now in 1.2 (because not every demon on earth charges directly at you now), and I came to the aid of Ostermark. I wasn't in range to attack the rift army directly, but the elector attacked them on the next turn, so I got to show up as reinforcements.

He was mostly running Spearmen with a few crossbows, and this was a late game rift army so he was getting poo poo on by Bloodletters... until I finally showed up with War Bears, Heavy Sleds, etc. I swear to gently caress, charging the bears down a small hill directly into the flank of the demons and rolling the entire line up to save the Imperials was just too loving cool.

I need IE. I need it.

I like the mod that turns Manfred into a Big Problem because Kislev armies are super fun to use against undead.

Skrag owns a quiznos franchise in that same strip mall and i'm pretty sure that massage place is a front for Slaanesh maybe Nurgle is this in America?

The Skulls for the Skull Throne event starts today, and GW is doing a big game announcement stream at 1 Eastern/10 Pacific
https://twitch.tv/warhammer

They seem to be hinting that there will be game 3 announcements there. No game updates this month doesn’t preclude announcements of next quarter’s updates. I am prepared to eat crow over this.

The original Chaosgate is free on GOG. They also mentioned more "classic" 40k games coming, as always I'm praying for Dark Omen.

Wheres that nothing quote.

I hope they release more info on the 14th rather than just repeating what was said on the roadmap. What's with the ogre mercs being so prevalent haha i've literally never used them because i already have faction units that fill my limited 20 stack. If they were like a waaagh army and didn't take unit slots then i'd use them.

I wish companies would cut the Q1-4 poo poo, we all know it’s happening in late September, stop pretending otherwise you goddamn assholes. Also it’s a loving beta?! After almost a year?!

Yes, they are releasing it as a beta so that when the inevitable bugs and balance issues appear they can point to that and say "it's not like we didnt tell you".

The inverse of people who say that they would have been happier with WH3 on release if it had had the same release with a "early access" tag slapped on.

The shape of the north coast of Araby is similar to the one from the "leak" and not at all like it is in the Mortal Empires. Plus the Wizard islands or whatever are in a completely different spot. Its definitely not just a squished ME.

I'd rather they release it with a beta banner to set expectations that it is going to have jack and will evolve and expand over time, than it be launched as is (or delayed) and have people moaning. And let's be honest the last one could also have been classed as a beta and it worked out ok

The same hole to Chaos Realm as in the north, but because there are no playable faction nearby, literally everyone in the setting completely ignores it.

Silly as it is, releasing it as a beta is probably one of the only ways to temper people's expectations.
