Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
If you wanted to just buy two DLCs

You would pay 18 dollars of a max of 23

It is designed in such a way you get no benefits buying individual packs, no discount, no sale, until you buy all 3

Thunderbarge has a small, maybe bug

Any projectiles that hit the balloon do no damage. Only hits that hit the actual ship part.

Not too big of a problem, except it seems most range aim for the balloon.

I don't see Toddy ( or Red Duke ) coming with a DLC. Both are already ingame, and CA has spoken in the past about how they view taking content that's already been released and reselling it as a red line they won't cross.

I'm also not sure what they'd do in a proverbial Middenheim DLC. The Ulric units that people on Reddit keep yelling about were ( mostly ) kitbashes, they are statistically the same as the Sigmarite units we already have. They just have different furs/weapons on their model. This would also run into serious issues with GW as these units would need to be usable by every current LL, so CA would have to figure out a way for Ulrician units to be fighting for Volkmar in the Southlands.

I think the more realistic approach will be Kurt Helborg LL, Ludwig Schwarzhelm LH, Toddy FLC with a focus on finishing off the various knightly orders/Imperial Foot. Add in a few Ulrician kitbash models of current units you can only use if you own Middenheim and Toddy starts there.

I meant as FLC, yeah. I very much doubt they'd make people pay for Toddy. And agreed on that last point; either Middenheim or Knightly Orders have to be the theme for the last DLC, there's no other thematic link between the Empire's missing units.

So if you just buy two you're spending less money than if you buy the bundle, and less money than what previous two-faction DLC cost (even with their pre-order discounts), and you also get the 15% discount applied retroactively if you eventually buy all three packs. Why is that bad? People complained that DLC was too expensive and predatory and this addresses basically all of that.

Yeah, Rot Knights are just absolutely bonkers. Wrestling down Dragon Ogres, Chaos Trolls and the like with ease in the early turns.

Nurgle badly needed a unit like rot knights, would of been nice if plague drones didn't have mass and animation issues so they were more useful because Nurgle badly needs plague drones to be a good unit in the roster.

The individual %15 discounts dont seem to be working. I already bought the Malakai DLC and Elspeth's DLC is still full priced. Also, I had a look on Fanatical and the Elspeth DLC is listed at $999 for some reason while the others have normal prices. This whole selling the DLC in bits thing is a great idea, but CA still has a lot of work ahead to actually make it function correctly...

It's not individual 15% discounts. It's that the bundle is 15% off and only includes the ones you don't already have.

If you buy one of the DLCs at full price, you can still buy the bundle and be charged only for the ones you don't have, with that 15% discount. Hence the "complete your collection".

I fundamentally don't understand how anyone just zooms in and patiently watches the animations play out on a specific character when instead you could be spending the entire battle obsessively panning back and forth checking in on my little guys, how are my little guys doing do they need any help, oh no my guys

Yeah I've always wished there would be an "instantly rewatch battle" at the victory/defeat screen. Don't really want to fiddle with saving and reopening the replay, I just want to watch it once and then move on with my campaign :effort:.

I use longer battle mods specifically so I can zoom in and watch the boys fight. Also because they're more fun and give you more time to plan and maneuver etc but it's almost entirely the first part

I uh, expected Kholek to be a lot more of an issue than he was. Rot knights do terrible, terrible things to large units.

Oh, and if you're doing a Tammy run, don't forget he is an ogre, so has wall breaker. Put your starting plague ogres with him and just shred through sieges.

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
Played Malakai a bit and he is great fun. The lead time on the thunderbarge army ability kind of encourages you to turtle a bit, which I suppose dwarfs don't need a lot of encouragement to do.

His recruitment on the Spirit of Grugni plus the adventure units feels kind of OP, but it's balanced a bit by the grudge rework, which really forces you to be aggressive. I smushed Clan Moulder right away and started smacking Norsca, but I'm thinking of taking the sea lane into Chaos Dwarf land to get at those sweet grudges and adventure quests.

well I hit a bug with Elspeth that's kinda ruined my campaign for me. At a certain point I can't end my turn anymore. I've had that happen before and it's generally because an event isn't firing properly, and reloading your turn fixes it, but in this case it's related to the gunnery school. When I upgrade to tier 3 there's an event related to the amethyst workshop that doesn't spawn an event but makes me unable to end my turn. I reloaded and tried multiple times and every time I become unable to end my turn. My choice seems to be just not upgrading the workshop anymore, which is no fun. I want to play with the cool units.

I have, it doesn't matter when I try to upgrade. Whatever event is supposed to be popping up when you get the amethyst workshop just doesn't seem to be working properly. I'm playing without mods at the moment too since most of them need to be updated.

This is only turn 40ish though so I'll just try firing up a new campaign.

Fanatical is selling the game discounted at a further 13% lower beyond what CA is selling their bundle for.. i missed this but here it is for others who may want it:

https://www.fanatical.com/en/dlc/total-war-warhammer-iii-thrones-of-decay


Also Cavalary are now lethal, my Reiksguard managed to pick up a Banner of Speed on turn 2, and on turn 3 i managed to get 400+ kills with them against the secessionist forces..

Its.. mind bogglingly strong.

The Reiksguard, once they charge, they CHARGE and punch through infantry like its wet loving paper.

This is insane! In a good way!

Yeah imperial cavalry is insane, maybe others too, but I've only tried Elspeth so far. I had a battle against multiple Von Carstein stacks and my two units of Knights of the Black Rose racked up over 1,200 kills. Each.

Ah marketing. Promise your next DLC won't be so expensive then sell it at $10 more but break the product up into three parts. The customers won't suspect a thing. Looks like it worked too.

Shadows of Change = $35.95AUD Thrones of Decay = $44.85AUD

$38.13AUD as a bundle with a 15% discount.

It's $38.13 AUD for the pack together with the -15% discount but yeah that's just way too steep for me. Shadows of Change had pretty rough edges and was a regretful purchase for me.
This one does look pretty cool but I'll hold off. Separating it into three packs after the last debacle feels a bit disingenuous though I do understand some players might appreciate it.

It is exactly the same price if you buy the bundle as if you bought each of the 3 DLCs one at a time

You just are not paying 33% of the price if you buy 1/3rd of the DLC or 66% of the price if you are buying 2/3rds of the DLC

But they are comparing shadows of change vs thrones of decay with funny money so who knows

I don't want to go full CA defender because they've done a lot of things that deserve criticism, but this is literally the same price as the previous pack. This just lets people buy individual lords, which is probably an option that should have always been available. It feels way less disingenuous than forcing people to buy a whole content pack when they only want 33% of what's in it.

They've upped pretty much all the regional currency prices, this is an effective 5 bucks increase when you account for the fact that TOD is cheaper in USD compared to SOC. Apparently it's even worse in other places. According to one of the CMs on reddit, they're "investigating", although that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but maybe hold off for now if you're outside the USA?

E: also worth noting that there's no significant currency value difference between SOC and TOD launches, so the price change is not because of that.

With the discount it's a still a couple dollars more than last time, but I can expect that could be a regional pricing discrepancy.
It's only a minor price boost but after last time it's really hard to justify. Especially when I haven't paid for a full price game as expensive as this DLC recently.

Regional pricing has been very very weird this time around, in Europe and i presume US the total bundle is about 2-3 $€ less than SOC, but in South America the price is absurdly more expensive. Isn't Australia also usually a bit more expensive than EU/NA?

Not sure if its a mistake or just SEGA/CA being extra greedy.
