So it appears that auto resolve loving loves Nurgle WoC stuff (and/or Nurgle in general). Okoii was getting some absurd AR victories with his garrisons against considerably larger (though not very high tier) Empire armies.

I'm really excited to use Be'lakor because his whole rift mechanic seems like it will be a lot of fun.

Janet on Occasion and ItalianSpartacus started RoC campaigns for Azazel and Vilitch respectively, and they showed the intro cutscenes. I haven’t found any videos of people doing RoC with Festus or Valkia and keeping the intros. The Advisor isn’t in them. The initial cutscene is narrated by a new woman, and the flyover of the area around the starting position is done by the lord you choose. Since these new campaigns take place right after Katarina rescues Ursun, I thought it might be fun to do a little meta narrative about the Advisor. Oh well.

never assume game sequels will get greenlit. if you were not assuming that, then you need to start off game 1 with the grand end fight against chaos

It is really funny that Chaos is the primary antagonist of the entire setting and it languished in a half-finished vestigial state for half a decade before they devoted basically an entire game to it.

Talabecland has a lot of them because they refuse to strike laws off the book. They also have wandering judges who do STREET COURT (as in they produce a wig and gavel and start yelling at bystanders court is in session and they're on jury duty, not in the Judge Dredd sense)

It looks like in IE the flat 10 reload skill every ranged unit had by default for some reason is removed, so every ranged unit fires notably slower, which is a pretty huge blanket nerf to mass ranged units.

That's not true. The story was about the advisor being super sneaky and manipulative and then him being incredibly shocked that Tzeentch was more sneaky and manipulative.

I do. I like to have something to actually build towards. Otherwise it's hard to get the motivation to finish a campaign and I fizzle out. Plus at some point you become too big to fail, so you need something to help you keep playing after that point.

No joke, I spent the last week or so unable to remember Kairo's name. I kept thinking it was Sarthoriel in charge of the Tzeentch demon faction.

Was Sarthoriel some name they came up with for TW1 or does it have any more background?

Also are there any mods that remove towers from battles but keeps barricades? because that would be my ideal for minor settlements.

Technically not. Sathorael appeared in in one 40k novel in 2001 and does much the same thing there as he does in TWW1. That's obscure enough and the 40k/Fantasy canon links are nebulous enough that they might as well be an OC

I hope some of the OCs that we've had eventually get a full FLC treatment to become Legendary Lords. Surtha Ek and Sarthoriel might be jobbers, but we've been living with them for six years at this point and I'd bet the Warhammer/Total War community has more affection and memories of them than any of the "angry dude with a signature weapons" that haven't been added yet.

Buck trend and give Surtha Ek and anti-large chariot. A chariot-slaying chariot you will.

Doesn't Surtha Ek have a long lost Ek distant elven relative over in Ulthuan that also is known for chariot spam? May as well throw them in the big race too.

Edit: Welcome to Warhammer Kart. Like Mario Kart except grimdark and FULL GORE. <Insert video of Settra getting a powerup and shooting a fireball at the next chariot ahead of him, which explodes into a blood shower>

On Ulthuan there is a minor faction in the place that is good at Chariots whose faction leader is Surthara Bel Kek or something like that. I don't think they're actually related, I think it's just CA being funny.

Get Henry Cavil to do it. And yeah, different inflections depending on the context. Just like 80 different variations of "slamBO!"

Edit - 80 variations, and Henry Cavil has his head in a metal bucket so you get that good reverberation

He's already the VA for Eltharion's starting Loremaster of Hoeth, who has a unique trait.

Not that he cant VA something else because there are people who VA multiple LLs already, but it might make it more difficult.

Long ago, before the Chaos aesthetic was completely nailed down Games Workshop had a full page showing off different chaos warriors, all of them named and different degrees of goofy looking. Slambo was heavily armored perfection, the iconic look that was immediately copied by Hero Quest and eventually became the style everyone else who worshiped dark gods wanted to imitate.

But there is only one Slambo. No one has done it better and no one ever will.
