Triskelli posted:Yeah, Skavenslaves should only be useful as extra bodies on the battlefield, I'm not sure if they should even be able to do damage. I do think whatever leadership penalty they give for routing should be much smaller than average. I still think that being able to commissar them is a vital gameplay mechanic.

Safety Factor posted:Yeah, but they have actual backstory and pathos and poo poo. Them being condemned to being souls trapped in their armor is treated tragically and it works. The Sigmarines are all super buff dudes in golden armor regardless of their origin that respawn when they die and are looked at as heroes and the best dudes ever that can beat up anything. They're really loving dumb. Yeah, the point I was making was more that they'd done it successfully before and still screwed it up.

Tiler Kiwi posted:eh, you can go too far with the cheating to where its just stupid and lazy, like with that one Warhammer Total War mod for Medieval 2 that just spawned AI stacks endlessly without any sort of consideration of anything. then again, most well regarded strategy games do stuff like that on some level; in things like Advance War, Fire Emblem, and the like, the AI is intentionally pretty fuckin dull but is given an overwhelming advantage. It lets players feel really clever to beat up a superior force lead by a dipshit. Civilization AI ends up like that on higher levels as well. Where TW and Civ break down is due to how limited these advantages are; once you get past the big hump of difficulty, the game becomes increasingly easier and forgiving, even on high difficulty. There's another approach that can be cool, which is the galactic civilizations 2 approach of designing the game from the outset to be playable by AI. The result is a more constrained game, but if you turn up the CPU time setting all the way the computer's drat good at it. Problem is that leads to a really constrained design and requires the designers and ai programmers be able to communicate or better yet be the same person.

Realm divide is the same as the chaos invasion in that it's a midgame spike in difficulty to keep things challenging for a player who can win any 1v1. What chaos does right that divide doesn't is a matter of foreshadowing and feel. Chaos is telegraphed by messages and a ramp in what it sends at you, realm divide is abrupt and changes the behavior of everyone around you in a way that you don't really see coming. Players really need to be spoonfed and hate change.

RentACop posted:Chaos invasion also effects everyone, whereas realm divide only ever hit the player even if there were larger and more powerful AI nations at the time. That's another really good point. Gamers in general really dislike gently caress you in particular mechanics even if they're blatantly ahead and need some sort of combined opposition.

Randarkman posted:Pike and shot tactics didn't really use mixed formations in the sense that you had pikemen in one rank and arquebusiers in another. Actually it functioned somewhat closer to the detachment system of the Empire in the tabletop game. Depending on the formation/time, you could get that from a tercio where the arquebusiers are sheltering in the pike square.

Danann posted:It'll probably end in 5pt PDF guardsmen massacring Chaos Space Marines in a city block kind of deal though. There was a bug with teukjeonsa in early RD where they had 10 wounds but five dudes, so they could do that or maybe give SMs AV1 and make them tough as hell. Plus militia suck for firepower, I'd be just as worried about space marines being the return of original fallschirmjaeger 90 and murdering everything they meet. Rhino rush would be most like original VAB rushing back in EE probably.

Arcsquad12 posted:The most important thing to note, however, is that the Orks, once again lumped in with Chaos, rebelled against GW's intentions, and started attacking absolutely everybody in a "Green Kroosade" that caused a ridiculous amount of damage to anyone not playing Orks.

Sure the Orks or Nids could wipe out Chaos, but for some odd reason the Imperium is actually interested in not getting wiped out too. Chaos is tied to humanity and they're getting dragged along for the ride.
