always be closing posted:I watched a couple videos on PartyElites YouTube channel of the online battles in tw:w2, it looks really fun. Will this game be worth buying if all I want to do is play those types of matches? MP isn't super popular and there are some cheese builds, but you can usually get a game and there's a discord full of goons who do MP- we just finished up a tournament, in fact

Strategic AI is pretty dire but the tactical AI is actually really good

Specifically, the AI that governs the factions on the turn based big map is bad, the AI that controls units in battle is good

Darkrenown posted:So is this just like a super expansion of TW:W with new races and a new map, or are there large mechanical differences? E.g. if I would rather play as the Empire should I just get the first game? They're putting out a combined map within a month or so and old races are gonna be in for MP/custom battles day 1, but the combined campaign isn't going to be as in-depth. You do need the first game to get combined map or access to them in MP, IIRC

Honestly if you like the first game races more and don't care about MP I'd buy 1 and wait for 2 to go on sale

Wind Blast in heavens is stupidly good, it mulches like an entire unit of helf archers in one shot. I don't even have the gates down in this siege battle and my skink priest has like 300 kills already

Mukip posted:Doing Tyrion on legendary and it's definitely the easiest campaign. Seems like enemies can't spawn inside the interior of Ulthuan, so I've taken all of the defensive gates and turtled quite nicely. Outer Ulthuan is a hellscape of Dark Eves and Norscans, but the interior is peachy. Meanwhile, Sea Patrol is busy holding off endless stacks of Skaeling scooby doos in the Straits of Lothern. It seems to me like armies spawn at fixed locations?

IIRC, the AI does get affected by income the same way as a player, but they get both percentage income buffs and a fat stack of base income on higher difficulties so it's hard to notice

Pierson posted:Is it a bug that when upgrading from a Cold One to a Horned One mount, Kroq-gar's stats utterly tank? His HP goes from something like 5000 to 800. That can't possibly be right can it? HP doesn't sound right at all, but big monsters typically have lower stats to accomodate for the fact that it's a loving TRex

Aren't they supposed to spawn stormvermin on occasion too? Never seen that happen. Also, do Skaven have to put up with enemy Skaven stacks during the later rituals, or are they all Chaos?

Krazyface posted:I have a hard time getting heroic victories in this game. Either I beat them with my army intact, in which case it's Decisive, or I get chewed up (which means the army needs to replenish for two turns, and maybe replace a couple saurus), and get Pyrrhic. I think heroic victories require you to be smaller than the other side

Anyone have general advice on army comp for multiplayer? I just always used other people's guides in TWW1 but no one's gotten enough time to write one for 2, and I figure its better to just get a grip on it myself

This is just on Hard, but I've been running around with Teclis + spearmen and archers and a few reavers and it pretty much crushes anything the skaven AI can throw at you. I've just been investing in starter province for recruitment + 2 for money and am just about to start putting out a second army so I can actually make some permanent gains against the Skaven

Memnaelar posted:So, I won't go into spoilers on the last battle, but it seems like the AI spawns the reinforcement armies really, really slowly. I finished off my first opponent about 6 or 7 minutes into the battle and then had to sit and wait 15 minutes for the reinforcements to spawn and then only found them by sending Malekith flying across the map to look for them and slooooowly draw them back to my troops. It wasn't nearly that bad for me but yeah the AI takes its sweet time getting over to you. Worse it spawns the armies in like two waves so it's trivial to defeat them in detail, especially because you get free 30sec cooldowns that take like 75% off a unit as they slowly march into you. The last battle kinda sucks

Ravenfood posted:Since each new race pack is supposed to come with 4 LLs (instead of the mini-campaigns) I think that they might be increasing the number of LLs in the race addon packs or making them race specific instead of paired off against each other. So instead of Grim and the Grave giving you a few extra units and lords to both VC and Empire, you might have a Skaven pack that adds two LLs and more units to Skaven instead. I can't decide whether they'll go that route because then they can easily be accused of shorting the release rosters deliberately, but if they don't do that, the extra races will have more LLs than the release races which seems a little strange too. I think they said 4 LLs total, so we'll end up with 2 per side per DLC. Only welfs only have 2 LLs in 1, with Bret/Emp/Beastmen having 2 and everyone else having 4 or more (including different factions with the same roster)

Just had Teclis rack up 1600 kills in one loving battle because the AI decided to blob all its guys in one spot in a forest and never attack despite instigating an ambush. I like the game but the AI is loving broken sometimes

Ravenfood posted:All the factions still lacking them got RoRs in the Norsca update, so Chaos, Brettonia, and Welves all did too. The Minotaurs RoR causes Terror and gets regen, while the Bestigors get halberds which I think puts that as one of the more unique RoRs in terms of deviation from the base unit. The Welf Treekin get fire resistance and a fire resist aura which I think is hilarious. Brets also get a foot squires with halberds

Yeah when activating rituals you have to be okay with losing a settlement or two. Walled settlements will still usually take two stacks to breach and if you fight well you can generally gently caress em up enough that they'll have a little trouble with the next one. I haven't seen intervention armies encamp at all.
