Good job OP, great  .As a TW Longbeard, TWWH is on par with Shogun 2, Medieval 2, Rome 1, and Napoleon. In time it will probably eclipse half of those except for the fact that WHFB makes it like comparing apples to oranges.

Naw man, it's poo poo. 1) By increasing morale across the board it completely unbalances the intended fight dynamics. Fear/terror effects don't work properly, low tier chaff require 60%+ casualties to route, etc. 2) Everybody's economy gets a boost so there's more armies and more fights (that last forever) but it's really just cranking the dial to 11. 3) Magic is almost pointless because of the combat changes. Radious uses a ~warhammer~ when he should be using a scalpel. There are artful ways to achieve longer fights that don't make for boring meat grinders. For example the Proper Combat Mod does a much better job of extending combat withonly a few across the board changes and a variety of small tweaks. CA did an incredible job with unit balance this go-round; there's only a few units that could be called broken and even then it's not a deal breaker. Look; it's your game, play how you want. However, your opinion is Bad.

Xae posted:I always find VC a bit of a slog. It's 3 strategies: Zerg with chaff Zerg with Vamps Zerg with Monsters I like a combination of 1 & 3 where you take a Vamp hero, a Vamp Champ and few Elite units out and march them just past your corruption zone to the first vulnerable capital. Take the capital, heal up and make some high walls. I find it very satisfying. Edit: Xae posted:Demigryph Knights are probably going to get the poo poo nerfed out of them, justifiably so. Exactly  Demigryphs are the main culprit, I don't think anybody is complaining about Quarrelers as they are the intended DPS for dwarves. If anything I think they may address Thunderers/imperial gunners for their lack luster performance. Magic is the second biggest issue with no scaling and VC being a bit broken against single targets. Vamps may be tones down in a general sense. I don't think they'll touch agents at all. They haven't in the past. Because they've never touched agents I don't think they'll touch LL's either (except to buff underperformers maybe). Those guys are intended to be badass.

Arglebargle III posted:Warhammer the game is known for terrible balance, so you'd never see certain armies like Tomb Kings or Beastmen. I don't know about WHFB but 40ks thing is to intentionally unbalance things improve to sell the army of the fiscal quarter.

I haven't tried living trolls yet so this isn't first hand... But: because they regenerate wouldn't low morale be a feature? They run, regroup, regenerate, and come back? Or is their morale so bad that it never recovers? Or maybe greenskin armies don't last long enough for that to matter? I'm betting it's the last one.

Wilekat posted:Holy poo poo. This is the number 1 reason why this game is a contender best TW ever. Early in my VC campaign Templehoff bum rushed me with a full stack after I took one one of the northward cities. I was trapped and seriously overmatched. All but Manny and his vargulf died fairly quickly and I spent a good 8 minutes just healing the Vargulf, meleeing Templehoff down and whacking undead. They whittled through 6 units I named the Vargulf Fluffy.

ZarathustraFollower posted:This would spike the difficulty for chaos and make them much more annoying to play as. Sack-> encamp is a mainstay of using their armies well. As is, it makes razing a tactical choice, since it leaves you more vulnerable at the end of your turn than just sacking. And for non-hordes too. Hopping back across your border from a sack allows for replenishment of casualties and there's a lot of places that empire/vc can pull that off. It's super helpful when you're suffering attrition when you stay put.

In shogun 1 and medieval 1 I toyed with the group formations. At the time it was a simple X/Y array with an obtuse unit type naming system. At the time I didn't know poo poo about code. I merely know poo poo about code now, but I reckon it'd be a lot easier for me to decipher. When we had loose formations you could make a quick checker-board by drawing a loose line and then turning off loose. It's too bad I don't have the time to gently caress with the knobs and poo poo. loving fatherhood. In other news the baby is shaking his head at me now so I'm teaching him to shake his head with his tounge out while saying whaaaag. So my question is is that a soft A or a hard A?

It may be that the forests are the first test of the map on map thing we've been floating. I really like that idea and I hope they go with it. The skaven underground could have events where holes to the surface open for pillaging opportunities.

Mazz posted:EDIT: Also, while I really like the idea of the map within the map thing for forest factions, it'll be the first big dynamic change besides magic that hasn't been tested in the previous titles. I hope it doesn't suck. I'm sure I've been beaten but what about Empires trade zones. OTOH, this is a different engine and would likely have to be built from the ground up so yeah.

wiegieman posted:Always kill Zhufbar if you're VCs, they end up confederating with Dwarfs and you have to kill Dwarfs eventually. Is Zufbar the red one or the one to the south? I allied the Red one in my VC game, they're good friends now. I also forgot that I had the Dwarf Economy Cheat Mod on so at turn 130 I just quit that campaign. My Dwarf campaign tho... I had that cheat mod on for the first 50 turns, then turned it off... I still have a couple million in the bank at turn 90.

Zephro posted:Zhufbar is immediately to the north of The Silver Road, the starting Dwarf province. They are badasses who always tie up the VCs for a good 70 turns in my Dwarf games. That gives me time to exterminate the greenskins before rolling over the Vampires with my doomstacks. Zhufbar are bros. Yeah, as VC I like those Red guys North of Gunbad. I never got bothered by Zuffbar though, they wardec'd me but got eaten by greenies shortly thereafter. I'm blaming this on that Dwarf cheat too. I had to go out and kill Grimgor as cheaty dwarfs so I think the boosted economy makes him reluctant to attack. My normal Dwarf campaign had the usual Grimgor stack around turn 10.

genericnick posted:Maybe just add a flat +1 turn? As is you don't use it in early game because you can just walk back and don't have the money. And you definitely don't use it in late game because I don't see any opportunities you can just have a wounded halfstack sit around at your border/ in enemy territory for six turns. Unless you have won already anyway. Recruitment and attrition difficulties are the closest we get to simulated supply lines. Grow a pair . Anyway, the cool thing to do with global recruitment is have your dude in a troop producing province, order your fancy poo poo on regular and global your line troops. Full stack in half the time. Edit: idk how but my dwarf campaign is up to 6 slots it the global.

Nasgate posted:This is also super useful for building an army in general. Recruiting about 6 or 7 high tier units in town, and recruiting your infantry at the same time is a huge time saver. Sry bud, beaten. Shumagorath posted:Can they even have that at level 6? Thorgrim was reinforcing too and in previous games Night Fighting disabled reinforcements on both sides. Is it lower in the tree for dwarfs? In this flavor of TW you have some kind of % chance of successful reinforcing armies. More ranks in lightning strike means better % chance. EDIT: I only ever get the first rank.

Triskelli posted:Can someone go back over the reasoning behind recruiting a second horde in the first couple of turns? It don't believe in this strategy. I tried it and didn't like it. I start with kohlek, awaken/subjugate that first tribe, kill all the dwaves, then awake/subjugate a Second tribe and have Signal take the second stack. I gave siggy the starting army because by this time kho could recruit a good stack on his own.

I wanna talk some more about D&D hammer. Is the idea that only the player runs parties and slays full units of enemies or that all factions have parties and it's a character focused campaign. In the case of the latter I like the idea of trouncing the unit sizes but leaving HP largely untouched. This would differ by faction and unit type. So Empire would have 3 dude units of hippogryfs, 5 dude Reiksguard and 8 dude units for all the other cavalry... maybe between 10 and 15 for infantry units. Conversely, Greenskin numbers would greater, Max 30, min 8 dudes, depending on the unit. To keep damages even you'd have to up the damage value of the individual dude... The former mode, heroes vs. Hordes, might be a simpler game because your main concern is modifying the heroes and strategic level to support it. Hero vulnerability to missiles would need to be addressed. Strategic level would need to have greater hero caps, maybe even a lower recruitment requirement so you can start with one of each hero available. Something would need to be done about the multiple stack multiplier but I think that could be controlled through upkeep. Ideally you'd want to change as few tables as possible to allow other mods to function. I dunno, ought try and make this thing.
