I'm having a hell of a time trying out other races than Bretonnia. There seems to be way too much micromanage fiddling with spells especially, I'm completely useless at that playstyle. The other quests/tech trees don't seem as focused to me, either. That Sigvald fella looks like he could be fun, but I don't have that DLC in the sea of stuff they want me to buy.

Vargs posted:Sigvald is a cool Warhammer character but Chaos is far and away the least fun faction. They were rushed in as a free preorder bonus on the initial release and while playing them you can expect to do absolutely nothing whatsoever except identical sieges using your horrendously boring roster that consists of same-y heavy melee infantry and a few monsters that mostly aren't even unique to Chaos. They have knights which are decent heavy cavalry but you should never build them because you will never do a field battle, and a few light marauder units which you should never build because they are awful. It really is the magic user clicky abilities that causes me trouble. They're finicky to use, hard to remember and has you awkwardly flipping between heroes instead of managing your units. Cavalry cycling's easy compared to it. And spells like Louen's defensive buff isn't too bad, as it lasts a long time and doesn't require any aiming. Same with the damsels for the most part. Shame about Chaos, there really aren't many clear-cut factions here that speak to me. I'm the guy who's put well over a thousand hours into the Dawn of War games, but only played Eldar, like, twice.

I took over Skavenblight as Bretonnia, but I can't actually build anything there. Is that on purpose?

It's so weird that you can't transfer individual units from group 1 to group 2, if group 2 is already made. You have to pick the units you want to transfer from group 1, assign them an unused group, THEN transfer them to the group you want them at. And I'd really like units to fit into several groups. So you have group 1 for every cavalry unit, but they're all split into different groups for breaking off and maneuvering.

Flakey posted:I'm pretty sure that if you select the units you want to transfer in group 1 and then press CTRL+2 it will move them to group 2 even if that's already a group.  It is impossible for me, at least, to move the troop from group 1 to 2 or vice versa in a situation like this. I can't move them from one group to another, and if I wanted to group them together, I would have to select both and put them in a third, unused group, THEN put them back in whatever group I wanted them to be in.

I was so disappointed when I heard Settra's voice in this game. I assumed it would've been some cool Cobra Commander type, but no, just another gruff bad guy voice.

If I just want a cozy game on VH/Legendary, where do I go? I've been repeatedly playing dwarfs, but I'm too stupid and end getting overwhelmed by waaghs. Today I tried Last Defenders, but they really don't click with me. Do their ranged skinks get any better later on? My only "completed" game was Mortal Empires as High Elves on Hard (I gave up after killing Archaevon and running out of real opponents. It's the grand strategy mop-up curse).

How can this one DLC be so much harder to implement than the others? If it's because it was the last one for TWW1, how does that explain it?

KazigluBey posted:As has been stated before, the issue was a split code-base when one team worked on Nosca for Game 1 while Game 2 was being finished. The idea management must have had at the time was that the split would be easy to merge. It wasn't, and that's the source of the delay. thebardyspoon posted:They were developing it alongside 2 and there's more to it than what I'm about to say but essentially they thought it would integrate just fine with 2/mortal empires when it came time to add it and were very wrong but by the time they realised that it was too far along to rework any schedules. So like, a few months after 2 came out they had to put out a blog post explaining all this, hold their hands up and say "we hosed up pretty bad here" and here we are like 7 months later haha. It would've gone faster had they not already distributed everyone to different projects, I assume. Still, seven months sounds like they've attached a skeleton crew to something that clearly clogs up everything else, making it a priority in my eyes.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Chaos was so loving cool and diverse for most of tabletop Hams’ run, it was only 7th and 8th where they got lame. I would legit pay like 50 bucks for a dlc that dove into earlier army books and represented all the crazy subfactions and the wacky conversions the GW guys came up with. And mixed warrior/beastman/daemon armies dammit. All three of those factions feel like lame rosters because they were never intended to be separate and they were never intended to be homogenized. Especially warriors. I want that nurgle grim reaper lord or the tzeentch man with two melty faces, not just Black Armour Muscle Man over and over. Wasn't Chaos allowed to field Chaos Space Marines in a limited number (at least in fluff), back when the world was supposed to exist in the centre of the Eye of Terror? And the Lizardmen desperately having to cover up for these anachronistic things dropping from Space?

Would it be viable to migrate from Scandinavia as Norsca, find a pretty French/Atlantic province and settle it for its increased building slots and richer land? The Norscan economy is killing me, when I try and play the confederation game.

team overhead smash posted:No, Norsca has rubbish economy no matter what you do in terms of building. You get your money from sacking (then attacking the turn afterwards and razing to the dark god of your choice). Migrating to a different province is fine - it just won't do anything to solve your money troubles unless you start sacking. That's what I feared. I think I got lucky playing as Bretonnia on my first go; they seem to fit my playstyle the best. Build tall, go on far away crusades.

Ravenfood posted:Norsca's fine for that though. Your problem is expanding too much: your provinces never make money, so tons of expansion just means you have more territory to defend. gently caress that, build up a few provinces and go a-viking somewhere. You'll make fucktons of money. I was thinking of doing that, but it feels good to eat 8-9 provinces by just killing one Norscan guy.. Right until everyone attacks you, as you said, without gaining any money out of it. team overhead smash posted:That's basically what you do with Norsca too, you just have to do a bit or crusading before you have the money to build tall. Really wish that last province in your starting are wasn't a three days march from your capital.

I'd like to know the Vampirates' victory condition, and whether it's plausible to play as two of them in a coop campaign. I know they're looking for something shiny, and that sounds like you'll be stepping on each other's toes all the way.

I really like Cylostra, but I think it would've been sweeter if she didn't acknowledge she was dead. In fact, how dare you insinuate that she is, don't you know who you're addressing?? All of her undead servants and cohorts just go along with it, because they're so terrified of her.
