Sindai posted:It's not quite as emphasized but what's with the big floating chaos island they do something similar to early in the video? I think that is the McGuffin city the 4 Warriors DLC lords are fighting over to gain access to. It seems like they kind of want to do with that what TK / Manny / Volkmar are doing with the books of Nagash. I'd reckon in future DLC we wind up with other factions also fighting to get into it. It was speculated earlier in the thread that if they bring out Elspeth Von Draken that she'd also be fighting to get there. DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Aug 11, 2022 |

drat, that was a good trailer. I wasn't the biggest fan of the art style in 3 to begin with but I've come around on it. That world tour was glorious

dammit, so hyped by the trailer. that was good. map art style is nice. can't wait for streamers to dig in tomorrow. I have thousands of hours in this game but have only finished a campaign twice, so starting with IE, I'm going through LLs in release order (base WH1 > WH1 DLCs > base WH2 > WH2 DLCs > base WH3, etc), using a random picker to choose the order when multiple LLs were released at the same time. I'm playing VH/VH, so rules are that I can save-scum if I really screw something up, but I have to delete all my incremental saves before I end a session, have to keep army comps as lore-accurate as possible, and I have to finish the campaign (don't need to do a full-map completion, but just to the point where I've eliminated all major foes, etc). I used the IE LL spinner someone made recently https://wheelofnames.com/c3j-2ya Here's the order of the WH1 base LLs: Karl Franz (yes, this actually came up first lol) Mannfred von Carstein Ungrim Ironfist Heinrich Kemmler Azhag the Slaughterer Sigvald the Magnificent Archaon the Everchosen Thorgrim Grudgemaker Balthasar Gelt Kholek Suneater Grimgor Ironhide the full list is complete through shadow & the blade dlc

Fuuuuuuck me the new art style for the map looks amazing in IE. So much more readable. Cathay, in particular, looks incredible... but holy poo poo they even made the Mortis River and the rest of Nehekara look cool. The Vortex isn't as "in your face", either, and the Ulthuan gates look more like gates and less like roadblocks. God dammit I am so hyped for this stupid game. I hope it works decently on the 23rd. I need it in my veins.

Less than two weeks left and there’s still so much we don’t know about IE. What the hinted-at new endgame event is, the new objectives for most factions, or most of the new mechanics for new or reworked factions. They usually do features on some of the new units, and the various Chaos Warshrines seem due for one. They made versions for each god, so there must be more going on than it giving the same buffs as the Norscan unit. We saw the stat card for the Khorne one in the Valkia video, but I don’t think we saw the ability descriptions.

IE stuff starts tomorrow from the content creators, and then I assume we'll get bigger info dumps throughout next week. CA might limit the max turns that the creators can show until next week, though, so that the marketing stuff can drop details on the end-game stuff before the creators do.

Now I can take my vampire coast vampirates over to Warhammer Somalia and fight Khalida. Is there a good method for fighting dwarfs as the vampirates? The gunline of zombies is good but it's not that good and the faction is vulnerable to anti large like giant slayers.

Given he already has really good unit variety, I don't think it's going to hurt your game play experience not having the Warriors units. If I had to guess, he'll get the cut down marked units only, not the full warriors roster.

Arc Hammer posted:Now I can take my vampire coast vampirates over to Warhammer Somalia and fight Khalida. Coast will outshoot AI dwarfs with no effort. You can spam cheap and completely expendable handgun mobs so their armor does nothing, and you can bring piles of artillery that will force AI dwarf stacks to slowly waddle to you while they die. Queen Bess will kill hundreds of dwarfs even before you start reloading it with a gunnery wight. You'll have a tough time if you attempt to engage them in melee or spam monsters into them, but you don't ever need to.

Arc Hammer posted:Now I can take my vampire coast vampirates over to Warhammer Somalia and fight Khalida. Dwarves don't have a great answer if you out-artillery them. They are slow and can't effectively juke mortar and bess shots. Deck Gunners also do a ton of work since they outrange Dwarven return fire and break shield. Edit: I wouldn't try to monster mash dwarves. Even though they armor pen, dwarves are sturdy enough to hold long enough for their gunners and slayers to get you.

The AI is absolutely awful so just do whatever you want, basically. The dwarves have great ranged firepower but the AI does not know how to utilize it so you'll outshoot them comfortably with the vampirates The AI usually only becomes an issue once they have multiple armies hassling your one army

As someone who's spent hours looking at the world edge mountains the southern areas are drastically changed but i don't know if it's just map assets or if they've changed the settlements. Even silver road is changed with settlement placement and the roads changed too.

You can also shoot all the Slayers and then monster mash, only Ungrim brings them in bulk usually.

I feel like WH3 is pretty dang demanding. I have a 1080, and I am very excited for IE. Should I upgrade? Should I really, though? I also think it's weirdly light on the CPU side, but I might be wrong.

Doomykins posted:You can also shoot all the Slayers and then monster mash, only Ungrim brings them in bulk usually. So maybe four handgunners, two deck gunners, Bess, a few mortars or Necrofexes and a load of pistol chaff and maybe a unit or two of depth guard for some rear line harassment?

Depth Guard as is in WH2 are incredibly limited in use, I usually go Lord, Hero, Hero, 8-10 zombies and the rest guns until I can replace zombies with monsters. I end up with two heroes since you usually start with a wight or a ghoul and then get one for free within 20 turns by a start of turn prompt. You can also go all guns by using the pistol guys who can walk and shoot as your front. Vampire Coast T1-2 are absolutely horrible holders other than their ability to tarpit until they crumble and die entirely, so some free shots are a nice extra before the fronts meet if you don't mind the added costs. You also get 3 Melee, 1 Rifle and 1 Walking Pistol by default on Raise Dead per turn without a battle site nearby.

Depth Guard look Bad rear end though, and the game isn't about having the most efficient and optimized army, it's about smashing your cool dudes into your opponents poo poo tier units and watching them gently caress poo poo up.
