You know, for all the complaints about TWW DLC price, then I see they're charging $15 per plane in Microsoft flight simulator and go oof.

From what I can tell MSFS is properly functional in all regards and doesn't have AI planes that form a scrum around A380's of opposing airlines so maybe the price there is justified. Well, "justified" as any of the arbitrary prices attached to gaming related stuff.

That's hobbies for you. You invest a lot of time and money into it cause you love it. No shame in it unless you're putting money into something and hating it.

Also, in MSFS any company can make and release planes for it. So Microsoft has to compete with 30 other dlc companies that often undercut them with better products. The result is typically Microsoft has to release better products or charge less if they don't want to meet the same level of detail.

bob dobbs is dead posted:yeah, slaanesh died in aos cuz they wanna start the long task of making it pg Man it's kinda depressing that despite Slaanesh never having left, and at this point being back in focus as long if not longer than they were out of it within AoS, people still spread around this guff. Likewise claiming Slaanesh has been censored, as if swapping gratuitous badly sculpted tits for a more gnarly Hellraiser-esque aesthetic is some great tragedy. Anyway, currently torn between Jade Dragon and Momma Stanky for which faction to play first when the DLC drops. Cathay's new units and improvements look great but a Kislev campaign divorced from the political minigame (Boris technically is being more of a kingmaker for it but lordy that Chaos Wastes start is ROUGH) sounds like heaven.

Personally I'm excited for this DLC cause it has a lot of potential to be extremely goofy fun, but this is largely because I play this game with two dudes whose friendship revolves mostly around incredible antagonism, and all three legendary lords getting added in this campaign actually have the potential for grand goofing. When the Chaos Dwarf DLC dropped the poo poo-fuckery that happened in our game was legendary. One friend refused to get any districts on the tower because the other friend was saving his influence up to immediately buy out whatever he went for so neither of them bought anything, the first friend also got ravaged from multiple directions by most of his enemies but when he put up an outpost in the other guys' capital to try to recruit better dudes he discovered to his horror there was nothing to build except labourers because the other guy had knocked them down out of a refusal to build anything except goblins. My excitement at the thought of the things we'll be getting up to with these mechanics is very palpable.

Didn't GW just present Slaanesh a bit more like in 40k? From what I remember they still had daemonettes, but that was just one unit that almost no one took. The chaos players that I knew would always take noise marines or the other more interesting stuff. 40k slaanesh is more tentacles and teeth focusing on excess.

Slaaneshi models got a huge improvement in AoS, mostly moving away from random tits. That harp bone thing is awesome.

AoS is still pretty bad, the models are nice and well-designed but it’s not warhammer. I don’t know how you fix it but that’s how I feel. I say that as I have stormcast that I’m painting.

AoS completely dropped my aesthetically favorite faction from Fantasy (Tomb Kings), so I was never going to like it. And no, the bone daddies aren't an acceptable replacement. I know a couple of people who were big Bretonnia fans and likewise hated AoS for completely dropping Bretonnia and never bringing them back in any form.

Slaanesh's new units in AoS own and I hope they do hope some of them show up in the inevitable Slaanesh DLC (though increasingly unlikely with Forge World's recent attempts to border their games off from the rest of the Warhammer franchise in terms of both aesthetics and cross-compatability, which I suspect is the reason why the Tzaangors in SoC look nothing like the tabletop minis). Bits of lore and design like Slaangors being more powerful and more blessed than their equivalents for other gods due to very few Beastmen having the cultured tastes in depravity to attract Slaanesh's attention are a much more compelling take on Slaanesh's spheres of influence than what the average meme-riddled Warhammer fan makes them out to be.

I got an issue with the 'must own entire province of chaos wastes' in order to get a commandment to lower the effects of being in said province. In that it will take an entire province before you can even use the effect.

Garrisons were nerfed quite heavily as well as the whole city wall bit to where you can walk over most of them now. Except maybe the warriors of chaos garrisons. They are being brought up just a smidge to the point that most are still pushovers.

I mean, for me the point was to always have the little towns and poo poo not actually be able to defend themselves. In difficulties where at the beginning you don't have much money to spend, it's kinda of a slog having to do these little garrison battles because otherwise you lose too many of your own dudes. This will just make the game a bit more difficult at the start if you're expanding, I can see it benefiting the player on the defensive.

Current garrisons are so weak that the siege mechanic barely exists and people don't bother building walls. Attacking a fully developed garrison still feels like invading a ghost town, and the walls are so bad that the best defensive strategy is to ignore them. I'd say they need more than just a minor buff, and that it certainly isn't going to make things too difficult.

Supposedly the idea for garrisons is that you would recruit a new commander in a city that is under threat and then recruit a bunch of troops with them, combined with the garrison it'll give you an actual defense force. But given the AI knows the state of every city and how easy it is for them to simply march stance and go somewhere else, that doesn't really apply.

Third World Reagan posted:I got an issue with the 'must own entire province of chaos wastes' in order to get a commandment to lower the effects of being in said province. Also I think instead of giving the oblasts a capital settlement just like any other province they could have given them a special settlement type like the elven colonies that give bonus...somethings. Growth and garrisons maybe? Bonus income to nearby cities? I get that it's a bit weird that the oblasts are just worse than other territories, but just making them homogenized seems like a mistake too.

I think the idea is that you still have to deal with some Chaos Wastes attrition if you're taking the fight to Chaos, but once you take some territory you can hold it and use it as a safe staging point for further assaults deeper into the Chaos Wastes.

I'd say they need more than just a minor buff, and that it certainly isn't going to make things too difficult. Garrisons by themselves aren't (and shouldn't be) threatening to an army of decent size, but when a city is being defended by an army, adding the garrison to that army can make that city a difficult nut to crack. Buffing garrisons into a decent threat in their own right could make defended cities much harder to take.

Ravenfood posted:It works for me in a "bite and hold" kind of way. You'll still have to suffer through the wastes when it's owned by the enemy, but you can colonize the wastes in a limited way. It's at least different from just making them immune or resistant to chaos waste attrition. It works well for Boris since his army is immune to Chaos Waste attrition so you can use him as the tip of the spear and once you are established you can move other armies through your territory or guard a border without the constant attrition.

What are you supposed to do with these ghost town garrison maps anyways as defenders? I just fight everyone at the walls, but I wonder if you're supposed to fight in the streets? I also never use the buff structures.

Some buff / debuff buildings are great but unless you got amazing choke points, the enemy will send some around. honestly, without an army or partial army, not much you can do

jokes posted:What are you supposed to do with these ghost town garrison maps anyways as defenders? I just fight everyone at the walls, but I wonder if you're supposed to fight in the streets? I also never use the buff structures. Depends on what units you have available and what you're up against. Ranged units on top of walls get a big advantage, and enemy units will badly fatigue themselves by climbing the walls, but you can't really exercise any kind of tactics in a melee atop the walls. If a full or nearly-full stack is attacking a lone garrison, then the garrison is doomed regardless and the only thing they can do is take as many enemies with them as they can, weakening or slowing the enemy so that you'll have better conditions for intercepting them with your own army. For that, I generally prefer to fight in the streets and use barricades, buff/debuff buildings, and sacrificial meatwalls to create favorable conditions to focus down a few units that strike the right balance of between being valuable and being vulnerable.

Sieges suck rear end to do on either end because the ticket system is stupid BUT the alternative to backcapping is getting half your poo poo shredded by towers the AI can micro perfectly, so buffing garrisons just makes me more inclined to install a "no more sieges / field battles everywhere" mod
