I love the potoo,
and the potoo loves you.


I'm pretty sure she's the only female character the Empire ever had on the tabletop. Fortunately, she's making up for lost time.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.

The three packs are currently 9, 10 and 11 in the global revenue ranks so I assume most people are buying the bundle.

making this the bundle was a weird choice for CA, given everyone plays empire and dwarves anyway so what's an extra five bucks for the whole thing

I suppose that's how they get you tho

Didn't they change Rampage a while back, so it triggers at dropping below 75% and 25% HP? Pavane applies the effect, but you still have to somehow deal enough damage to trigger it as well. Also only works twice.

That change was to the Rampage passive abilities some units have. Spells that force Rampage still work as usual.

The 10% off preorder price basically got folded into the bundle being $22.50. We didn't even have an opportunity to preorder so :shrug:

i guess they just give the same three moves to every lord with a two hand weapon: unsatisfying kick, weird spin with the side of the weapon instead of the blade, and overhead chop

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

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

when you're winning a battle by a mile you can watch the animations ez

also pros save and watch replays unironically if you want to give a poo poo about pvp

apologies to tamurkhan my first battle with him he was acting weird on a hillside and spamming the same couple of attack animations over and over and it seemed fucky and generic

on flat ground he has some cool sync kills, bless the worm boy

According to the CA blog, if you buy one DLC and then purchase the others later, you'll get the 15% discount applied retroactively, so it could be worse.

Eh I don't really see it that way. You either get the entire DLC at a bigger discount than you would normally (15% vs 10% on the old pre-purchases), and for more factions/stuff than previous DLC, or you can buy only the faction(s) you're interested in playing for significantly less than the whole bundle.

Shadows of Change taught me patience, so even with cool new DLC that I want, the plan is to wait for it to go on sale and pick it up then if I'm still interested. The Empire rework might pull me back in to play the content I already own though, so thanks for that I guess.

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...

I haven't bought any of the three yet, but I'm planning on it once I get paid, hopefully they'll have it sorted by then.

the wording there is you get the 15% discount when you finish your collection

As in

DLC1 is 9 bucks
DLC2 is 9 bucks
DLC3 is 4 bucks

Or buy them all for 23

There is no possible way to get all 3 DLCs for 27 bucks, or 9x3

It is impossible.
