Stephen9001 posted:This reminds me, Legend of total war (unless I'm misremembering) is doing a Tyrion campaign, and one of the first things he did was dismiss the starting pheonix on the grounds the upkeep is too high, and is more efficiently spent on more archers. I don't care if he seemed to prove that was in fact the mechanically optimal choice, if you decided to replace a monster you get to start with with more archers, you are terminally boring. Yeah, this is the Legend way. I respect that he doesn't give a gently caress, and sometimes I find it interesting how he breaks the game but mostly he's just a bit of an abrasive dong and his battles are super boring because of the hot cheese. Also sup WH2 thread. I expect goons to take cool screenshots for the thread because I can't play this game until November. Please help me get my fix until then. blindwoozie fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Sep 26, 2017 |

Junkenstein posted:Do any of them have big gaps like no cavalry or no ranged? Skaven are lacking entirely in the cavalry department. They are highly mobile, but Rat Ogres are the closest thing to cav they have. Lizardmen don't have any traditional archer units either, instead relying on lower range skirmishers. I don't think they're as drastic as Dwarfs or VC but there are some clear strengths and weaknesses. Both Elf factions have a good selection of all unit types.

# of kills. If you hover over the Murderous Prowess bar in battle it will tell you how many enemies you need to kill for it to proc. It scales depending on the size of the enemy army. Also I just had the craziest battle as Mazdamundi vs Skrolk. blindwoozie fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Oct 4, 2017 |

SteelMentor posted:So apparently the Chaos invasion's still in Mortal Empires. I seriously hope they drastically tweak it otherwise playing as a Old World faction is gonna suck until you deal with it. Nobody wants to be stuck milling around Kislev, ignoring the other bloody half of the map until Archaon shows up for his customary swirly. I mean, I'm sure the New World factions will have to deal with Chaos too.

Yeah, that would make Slayers own a lot more. They've received a small price reduction in Warhammer 2 but no other changes afaik, sadly. Artillery is apparently massively improved though, excited to see Dwarfs get buffs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, give the Master Engineer cool 'mounts' like a gyrocopter/bomber of his own, maybe some different weapon loadouts too. Especially now that he's just a lovely version of the Warlock engineer. The Dwarf Heroes need some more utility and flavor. blindwoozie fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Oct 13, 2017 |

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:On the campaign map, it would be nice if dwarfs had a way to reach their higher tier tech units a bit earlier, their growth is the lowest of anyone for thematic reasons but it means you got to go most of the campaign on just warriors/longbeards and quarrelers/grudge throwers with gunpowder sidegrades. Yeah, the Dwarfs can feel bland for a while because of it. They have some really interesting and fun units but you don't see them for so long. It doesn't help that their tier 1 units are absolute badasses on their own, but that's the Dawi. Also forgot to add Daemonslayer Heroes to the Dawi roster. A singular angry Dwarf with the bite of a Carnosaur who gets bonuses to assassination on the campaign map. More of a hero/Lord/monster assassin than the Thane who would be an army buffer.

I think I'm more excited for blood than the ME campaign, though the fact that they coincide is nice. I'm loving Warhammer 2 but it just feels off without my Saurus warriors turning Skaven into a red paste, I'm excited to see how bloody magic is now considering it's buffs.

It'd be cool if Bugman's Rangers were melee capable, making them into a Shade/Lothern Sea Guard-esque ranged hybrid for the Dwarfs. You don't see them much and it's a shame because they look rad as gently caress and why haven't we got Josef Bugman himself as a character?????

Yeah, I mean Quarrellers can defend themselves, but Bugman's Rangers could have more impressive melee stats allowing them to cut through foes in melee quicker, on the account of them being all liquored up or something. Maybe it's not the most inspired idea, but some improvement would be welcome imo

Some early access Mortal Empires videos up PartyElite going over factions new start positions/win conditions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNU75e2alLc Also, not only will Norsca be unavailable in Mortal Empires, the entire patch that came with them won't, and neither will the new Regiments of Renown. Bit of an awkward mess, feels like the ULTIMATE CAMPAIGN MAP EDITION is a bit hamstrung without that stuff, but whatever. blindwoozie fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Oct 23, 2017 |

The Hellpit Abominations apparently aren't working very well against massed infantry and people were saying the animations were the issue, perhaps thats the fix? I don't have much experience using the HPA, I'm not sure. The Tyrion buffs are cool but I think it's funny he doesn't have flaming attacks considering his sword, SUNFANG, is literally on fire.

Yeah the Gemstone Mines in Karaz-a-Karak give bonuses to Hammerers and Ironbreakers now iirc, we can expect to see other resources give bonuses to other units. I really like this change a lot, resource buildings were really poo poo in Warhammer 1. Between the extra effects and the improved trade income in Warhammer 2 they're real good. blindwoozie fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Oct 25, 2017 |

The Dwarf public order building now produces Kegs and at level 2 it allows recruitment of Bugman's Rangers so you don't need a brewery. Bugman's Rangers also got a melee defence and big health boost.

Anybody else's Greenskins going hog wild in their Dwarf campaign? I don't remember them being this aggressive, it's pretty fun though, Grombrindal's axe has never been happier. I managed to confederate Karak Kadrin early on because they were getting stomped by Red Eye, Skarsnik took Izor from Belegar real early but he's taking the province back and Barak Varr has been smashed down to their capital by Grimgor. Urks, Urks everywhere.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:120 turns into my Vlad Mortal Empires game and all I can say is gently caress the dorfs. See, I'm playing the Dwarfs and the both Mannfred and Vlad are going hog wild, they annihilated Zhufbar and while they aren't in an alliance they've never fought each other, instead in a mutual agreement yo gently caress up the Dawi and Empire sub factions. Had to get a peace treaty with Vlad because I'm at war with so many Greenskins and every other Dwarf realm is failing save maybe Belegar. The Greenskins feel like a big threat this campaign, and the Vampires occupying Dwarf holds adds some stress, it's really fun.
