I wish Total Warhams was finished so I could play all these awesome fuckin races right now instead of waiting for unknown release dates  Like, I'm super excited for Lizardmen at the moment, but I feel like when I'm finally playing them, I'll end up being like "Yo it would be bomb as poo poo if I was Settra right now."

Lizardmen and Skaven are more than enough to tie me over until then though.

NewMars posted:No, there's some placeholder vampire counts called the "Strigoi Empire" There. Which is very strange since Mourkaine, the actual Strigoi empire, was where the badlands now is. Oh I thought the Necrarchs were tomb kings but apparently they are vampires.

It would be funny if they made it so you could never confederate or vassalize Settra, because Settra does not serve, he rules.

Captain Oblivious posted:Settra and Khalida for LLs or riot. Khalida is probably not going to be a LL for 2. She is much more likely to appear in 3. Why? Because her city, Lybaras and her eternal enemy, Lahamia are both in Eastern Nekehara, which isn't on the map for 2 but would almost certainly be covered by the map for 3.

If Settra isn't the primary LL for TK I will figuratively poo poo bricks. Also, he better constantly bitch about NOT SERVING while literally being directed around by you for the entire game. He's Settra. He's the best.

Unless they really change their approach, Settra's pretty much guaranteed to be the primary LL. That'd be like the Empire not having Karl Franz. Settra's the Tomb King of Kings.

Dartonus posted:Lastly, some of their units have the rule Entombed Beneath The Sands, which let you have them burrow up at/near a point you designated on the battlefield. You may have seen people playing the Fallen Gates battle using an ability to summon Feral Cold Ones at a spot they chose - if Entombed is in, I'd imagine it would work similarly, albeit probably without the summoned unit health degen, as an Entombed unit is still part of your army. One thing I'd like to see would be scarabs or scorpions that you can vanguard deploy in the set up stage that stay under the sand until after your opponent walks past them and then you can burst them forth and charge them into squishy targets at the right time. It would make people really paranoid fighting TK's.

In order to do Settra correctly he shouldn't even be a playable unit but just be a single unit stack on the map that you have to beg for action from and hope he goes the direction you want because SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE

Amazons could still be added as a horde faction in a DLC. There seems to be plenty of room in Lustria for hordes to knock around in.

wiegieman posted:One thing to remember about TK is that they're super slow, and they need the buffs from their wizards to get around or be cost-effective in a fight. But, they can punch really far above their weight if they get away with magic. Considering that Phoenixes have their stats or damage tied directly to your current winds of magic reserve they could easily do something similar for TK where all your basic units get bonuses to combatstats the higher your winds are so you'd have to balance magic usage vs good stats.

This conjured up a mental image of Joe Skeleton going about his day in Nehekhara, minding his own business. Suddenly, an ebb in the winds of magic causes the spell reanimating him to peter out. He immediately and embarrassingly collapses into a heap of angry bones. Cue sad trombone *womp womp*

Krazyface posted:Why the gently caress would the other wood elves burn down the special tree? It's lore appropriate. The Wood Elfs are loving dumbasses and suck. Go Durthu and slaughter even the dumb elves. e: If they don't get Settra and Khalida I will yell very angrily at CA. Also I hope one of Settra's lines is just his assistant trying desperately to announce all of his titles. Like I'm mad enough about Thanquol. Yeah yeah Pestilins is one of the big 4 and is the big rats of Lustria, but they also loving suck and are super boring, and Skolk is a joke lord. Let's get some Skryre up in here and bring out homeboy Thanquol. THEY INVENTED THE CELLPHONE. IT'S CALLED THE FARSQUEEKER. THEY HAVE A SKAVEN MONORAIL IN SKAVENBLIGHT FOR CLAN SKRYRE USE ONLY. gently caress stupid dumb disease rats. who the gently caress are these pestilins fans they need to appeal to. like gently caress, skolk is SO BAD. at least be Nurglitch please. That I can live with, Nurglitch is a crazy loving ratman and I'd be stoked to be him. On the other hand, Mor is a great choice. A completely loyal Skaven clan that doesn't tuck and run at the first sign of trouble because of their loyalty to their brothers/cause/lords. Any internal clan assassinations are judged by how useful the murdered was. If they were a useful/good member of the clan, the assassin is considered a traitor and put to death. If they were a useless/fuckup the assassin is hailed as a true patriot and given their position. It's cut back the rate of assassinations to half that of any other clan, and usually only fuckup leaders get assassinated in Mors. Rookersh fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Aug 15, 2017 |

My big plan for Total Warhammer II is to just wait until I can pick it up on a sale, as I'm usually quite happy to wait things out, but I'd probably get tempted if they'd include Tomb Kings before I can pick it up for cheap. Waiting for a good sale on the original Total Warhammer was the right choice for me, as I wouldn't have liked this game as much with just the original four races and none of the free DLC, but ancient not-Egyptian skeleton kingdoms is just too good.

I'm getting it just for the lizardmen. Who cares what skaven clans are playable, one rat screaming on Sotek's altar as a skink carves its heart out is much the same as any other.

Ha. Could anyone more familiar with Skaven lore say what the machine with green flame and the terrible creature are? Warpfire Throwers and Verminlords? It would be pretty funny if CA kept this tone up forever. Even after release. Like, on the physical game box, it said something like, "Conquer the New World and the Southlands as four fantastic and unique factions: the depraved Dark Elves, the proud High Elves, and the enigmatic Lizardmen."
