I'd imagine their settlements are covered in trees so good luck seeing the elves before half your troops have been shot to death and there's dryads shredding all your artillery..

Randarkman posted:I'd be okay with it if it was just for those "outposts" that the Wood Elves get when conquering regions outside of their magical LSD nightmare forest. They can conquer any region, but they are going to have a hard time defendig them. It would be really boring if outposts were easy to defend and amber was effectively permanent once earned.

fnordcircle posted:Maybe CA will just come out and say "we did it this way so we can re-use assets" or something. Of course that's why. Why would they go out of their way to create two slightly different sets of humanoid mounted caster (female) animations when one serves just as well? The race to be most offended is hard to take seriously when we're talking about a setting built on absurdist cliche and genre stereotypes. Our noble ladies may be riding sidesaddle and wearing pretty dresses but they're also murdering legions of grubby peasants/cockney scum/angry drunks.

xthetenth posted:It's less stable, and it's a social construct from a context totally unlike anything that would make sense for wood elves. Wood Elves may be corrupted tree-huggers but they still have enough High Elf about them to remember their courtly manners on the battlefield. The Brettonian Maidens that ride that way on the tabletop are taught magic by those Wood Elves in the first place iirc.

Captain Oblivious posted:"When they are" is at least 50% of the time and "always" in the case of when they are at war. They're not all slavering beserkers when at war. The Wild Riders, Wardancers and monsters like Orion yes, but Eternal Guard, Waywatchers, Wildwood Rangers etc. are of the more typical level-headed Elven mould. There aren't many one-note factions in Warhammer. Just Dwarfs. Riding sidesaddle is a perfectly apt way to represent fair and perilous elf maidens high on pollen and ready to blow stuff up in the name of a giant tree. Especially when they already had the animations to hand.

Avasculous posted:I'm not familiar with Warhammer Elf lore, but that seems extremely at odds with the concept of a bra-burning wild witch battlewizard. It's not really at odds with the lore at all, though. Wood elves are the secret hand behind Brettonia's entire culture, so making them resemble damsels (who are taught magic by wood elf practitioners) is sensible when you have the resources ready to go. They're not bra-burning because they're not allowed open flames in the forest. I hope they make the Sisters and have them ride their dragon sidesaddle.

I dont know posted:My understanding is that they Wood Elves themselves aren't the ones manipulating Brettonia, but an elven goddess is doing it on their behalf. And after a few millenniums playing with her toy kingdom, she ends up liking them more than the elves themselves since WE are giant dicks even by elf standards. My understanding from a screenshot I posted from this actual game is that they are.

Miles O'Brian posted:Spellsingers don't really make sense though but eh, if anything Wood Elves are gonna be a lot better because there aren't really gender divides in their military. You'll see male and females mixed in most of their units, if they're not lazy about it. There are still big gender divides in the upper levels of all three Elven societies in Warhammer, though. They're not depicted as post-sexism utopias by any stretch of the imagination. Terrible Opinions posted:I don't quite get people engaging sassassin. His contrarian gimmick with regard to everything warhammer related is really transparent. If a company does something that gets its customers upset he will defend it 100% of the time. He defends Age of Sigmar all up and down the tabletop thread. He really isn't worth engaging at all. I have literally never defended the game Age of Sigmar on these forums. Please post even one example. Why people like you feel the need to lie to discredit me I'll never understand.

Captain Oblivious posted:At this point my main fear is that the way the Wood Elf LLs use amber for one unit type or another is going to render one of them so suboptimal they aren't worth playing. That would be sad because I like them both The Lords abilities seem tied to making their normal recruitment options obscenely powerful so it should come down to preferred style unless you're a min/maxing sperg.

ZearothK posted:Lots of Goblin archers seem like the ideal choice for a core force against Wood Elves for the Greenskins, given the armor situation and the ridiculous volume of fire they can provide. Night Goblins with their poison should also let Greenskin cavalry catch their melee cavalry, because let's face it, the ranged cavalry will die to the archer fire. How are massed goblin archers going to outfire massed elf archers that have better range and can move and shoot?

ZearothK posted:There is 160 Goblin Archers per unit, they are cheaper and the Wood Elves have poo poo all for armor. Is Goblin armour that great? Wood Elves will whittle that 160 down before gobbos get in range. Trying to outshoot a by-design mobile shooting army is a strange approach imo (unless we're talking artillery). And Wood Elves get magic, too.

Because steam or CA decides the way to release patches and DLC is to copy the entire goddamn game temporarily or something. How the gently caress do I download this poo poo without uninstalling the game I'm trying to update I had the same issue, had to move some big files around to make room. Worst part was the download stopping halfway while I was out. Thought I was coming home to wood elves but nope.

SunAndSpring posted:I am a little confused why the Wood Elves don't get a starting target to beat up like most of the other factions. IIRC Angrund or Crooked Moon have the same issue but then again those guys don't really have to rush: Skarsnik needs to recruit his gobbo horde and Belegar will generally build up a giant wall of dwarf warriors for his quarrelers. Meanwhile wood elves need to beat down Carcassone and the Beastmen ASAP or else deal with the Oak of Ages getting owned every 10 turns, so Orion or Durthu really need the early levels. I don't see why wood elves need to go anywhere in a rush tbh.

Plan Z posted:Stuff with anti-large and/or with ranged units. Cygores aren't terribly hearty units, and they'll quite often buckle and retreat pretty quickly. There's also a spell I forget which unit has it that decreases accuracy by something like 60% Do any anti-large units have vanguard deployment? Arrows aren't doing jack. Those things are killing more elves than anything else so far.
