I do like the idea there's a species of cat people in a world of chaos tainted mutants "which chaos god do you worship?" "we're just cats man. we're in it for the  not crazy body horror poo poo"

There is a settlement called Village of the Tigermen on the RoC map. It’s in the Broken Lands of Lian Ti, a desert province on the eastern edge of the map, just north of the mountains. The province is along the northern border of Ind on the IE map.

Beastmen are a specific class of being that has been corrupted by chaos. Just being a type of animal person doesn’t make something a Beastmen, though in the world of Warhammer most people probably wouldn’t care about the difference.

village of the tiger men sounds like something made up by a map maker very far from the place in question, like the equivalent of an ocean map's Here There Be Dragons I bet if you go there and actually talk to the locals they'll be real confused and tell you their town is called Shropshire or something

There are lots of creatures in the world that have been altered by the presence of chaos without being truly Chaotic. Gryphons, for example, and human mutants who don't worship the dark gods.

Man I started a Drycha campaign last night and holy poo poo her army is great at bulldozing through VC and state troops. Her wolf units are so crazy effective once you give them frenzy that they regularly get like 2-300 kills a fight. I'm not missing elf units at all, all trees, doggos, and spiders can just hilariously overrun everything.

https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/w4ibek/compilation_of_todays_discord_qa/ Very cool stuff - DLC more often than before thanks to having a second team working on the project, occupy/raze/sack/etc art for all factions coming, they're open to the idea of race-specific defensive towers, Norsca got a few balance passes in lieu of a rework for now, WoC can't confed each other and Dark Elf slaves have been reworked.

AoS's Warcry skirmish game is getting a new warband with human worshippers of Hashut: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/07/20/the-horns-of-hashut-bring-misery-death-and-fiery-destruction-to-the-new-edition-of-warcry/ Wonder if this is a precursor to AoS Chaos Dwarfs tied in with them coming to WH3. These guys don't have big hats but they're certainly embracing the bull aesthetic

Azran posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/w4ibek/compilation_of_todays_discord_qa/ This is cool and good. It just reinforces my perception that they are very much going/developing the game in(to) the right direction. Modders having access to the WoC upgrade mechanic so that they can implement it for other races (like upgrading empire spearmen to empire spearmen with shield, as mentioned in both the Q&A, and this thread), is just great. There will probably three different kind of mods about this feature alone. Firstly a mod that just allows upgrades where the game itself kind of indicates that one unit is just a better equipped version of another unit. Empire spearmen -> empire spearmen with shields, miners -> miners with blasting charges, grave guard -> grave guard with great weapons, etc. Then the also logical, but not as strongly implied upgrades, like the aforementioned empire spearmen with shields into halberdiers, questing knights into grail knights, or dwarven warriors into longbeards. And then mods that invent wholly new update paths, in many cases inventing units to upgrade into themselves. I could easily see using that first type of mod for all my campaigns. It just makes sense. In any case, CA continue to impress me with their actions and their planes. Immortal Empires might have some issues at launch, but I have no doubt whatsoever that it will be extremely good eventually, guaranteed to eclipse Mortal Empires.

terrorist ambulance posted:Certain units are just exceptional clean up units, like dogs, and I'm pretty sure it's a combination of their speed, attack animation, and unit count. I will say that whenever I've come across mods that added "Dogs, but big and with good stats" they absolutely tore things to shreds in seconds way above what you would expect and were one of the most dangerous enemies around, it also explains why corn dogs are so strong. I think it's worth considering popping a danse macabre or other big flat stat buff your faction has available on any dog units that are flanking and see how effective they are.

I also got the impression the initial development and ongoing content are done by different teams, and the 'live' team is the one that has been knocking it out of the park for years with WH2

They've explicitly said that was the case, although at the moment both teams are working on WH3 since simultaneously doing the 1.x patches, IE, and chaos DLC is a huge amount of effort.

https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/w4hi34/more_warhammer_dlcs_quicker/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf they've also basically confirmed both teams will be on the project for a while. so the near term future is looking pretty bright. I have to imagine they want Chaos Dwarves before Christmas

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I'd be excited and happy if IE was stable and up to snuff in terms of wild poo poo not happening, faction mechanics working properly traits are updated like they were at the end of WH2, and bug-free enough to play with my friends before Christmas. Chorfs would be great but I dont want them to rush stuff. oh for sure. I haven't played since getting dunked on by demons in the Cathay campaign. at this point I think I'll just wait it out til IE. I've been playing Mass Effect: LE and I should be done by then if IE is relatively stable and in full bug squashing mode for the rest of the year I'd be happy. it would also be a good time for them to go back and fix a lot of the dumb issues that never got resolved at the end of WH2. then all they would need to do is keep everything new relatively balanced and ride the gravy train for years

If you don't have recruit defeated LL's you'll never fight like 70% of the LL's, my fav is when someones steam rolling off screen and the next thing i know queek has like 6 LL's fighting for him hahaha. I always give karl one of the border princes settlements too so if the empire of men gets wiped out before i manage to get over there i'll have a ton of friends to recolonize all the settlements behind me as the dawi storm resettles the reikland.
