I really love how chatty the lords are on the campaign map. The Sisters in particular are fun with their bickering

yeah that art rules. was never particularly interested in Kislev as a faction but just seeing that has changed my mind

Can't believe they're actually doing Cathay. Spent so much time scoffing at the idea given that they amounted to like three footnotes from 1994. Very, very excited. Trailer was sick too, can't wait to play Kislev.

Inspiration is totally cool it's just that nerds in the 80s applied some shallow ethnic stereotypes to factions that also were often evil or at least not as good as the noble European-derived ones and called it a day Not saying that GW was some sort of secret white supremacist outfit, they were a bunch of dorks dreaming up goofy fantasy races from their own limited point of view. Some stuff just needs a modern second-look, that's all

There's also the Kerg or Kerghit or whatever. Pretty sure they're supposed to be Mongolians but they worship Chaos and Cathay built a bigass wall to stop them from attacking all the time. Of course that's also not exactly the best cultural representation but also Mongolians conducted extremely brutal campaigns that killed millions in China and Eastern Europe so I dunno

Yeah sseth sucks. I never get the feeling he actually means any of the lovely rear end jokes he makes but he still, you know, makes them. It's that lame early 2000s brush off of 'just a joke bro!'. And like yeah if it was 2007 I'd be right there with him but it's not 2007 anymore so I'm over it That said he makes a lot less of those lameass jokes then he used to. Which is why I occasionally watch a new one to see if he's stopped with the 4chan poo poo entirely, but he hasn't.

That's always a worry for me with trying custom factions, too many come off as overpowered. I mean I play on normal because I'm bad and just want to have fun so I don't mind an easy fight but there's a limit.

Azran posted:Mixu's Elspeth is getting a visual rework and I gotta say it's pretty impressive what modders can do with existing textures and models. That reminds me, whatever happened to those guys that figured out how import custom models? I feel like it was big news for a minute and then, I dunno, it's almost like CA told them to keep it to themselves lest Games Workshop start calling up lawyers. I know Southern Realms has some custom helmets but I was expecting a lot more.

I haven't played it but I remember hearing that the Throt - or maybe Drycha? - quest battle played pretty differently, with on-map objectives to smash up rather than just armies. Sounds like that's gonna be the new normal in TW3

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:As others have alluded to, there will not be only 6 factions in the game. There will be minor factions to deal with and even diplomacy between the two LLs that both Cathay and Kislev will have. If better diplomacy for interacting with my own faction is lacking, my willingness to purchase will be lacking. Also once the big map comes out there will be, like, twenty different races across two hundred and some factions I'd like to be able to do diplomacy beyond 'declare war' and 'constantly deny alliances so I don't get dragged in to their dumb wars'

I'd really like the different maps like in Empire but I know a lot of people hated the way it split things up, and I get that. Still, feel like it'd be a good way to avoid squishing much down.

I just don't enjoy higher difficulties for battles because it pushes the ranged unit spam even further into the meta. I like my infantry lines.

Or you'd sally out against a besieging enemy whereupon they'd abandon all their siege equipment and stand a respectful fifty metres away while you destroyed it, making the siege take longer and letting your reinforcements get there Though I do still like that you could physically ride out of the castle, mess some stuff up, then retreat inside and end the battle. Kind of like an actual siege. The AI was just too dumb to respond to it. Also personally liked that garrisons were conscious choices rather than tied to buildings, but the AI also couldn't handle that and most of the time the only garrison in their capital was an unaccompanied faction leader who would stand still and die to arrows in the city square. Medieval II is still my favourite though lmao

Telling brand new players to immediately commit to the grindy meta strategies before anything else is silly. Just go around, fight battles and conquer poo poo. You'll figure it out as you go.

I think they just need to committ entirely to one or the other. Either make it a full-on 4X game that also features cool battles or strip away all but the essentials and double-down on battle stuff. The in-the-middle approach is okay? But it could be a lot better

Tiler Kiwi posted:the thing with GW ip stuff is that theyre apparently really huge pains in the rear end to work with. very much, we will review every single line you write and throw random fits over how lore appropriate one thing is or isn't. so big or successful publishers don't really want to bother with that poo poo. instead you get the middling and small ones that either are fanboys of the setting (GW's favorite type of contractor / employee since they can stiff them) or are willing to put up with all the poo poo to get access to the GW namesake to sell their stuff. Always kinda funny to hear how anal they can be about canon because back when I bought Warhammer books (aside from the rare Abnett inquisitor series) there were a lot of authors who played it pretty fast and loose with canon Also one guy who plagiarised a Vietnam vet's memoirs for his Warhammer book lmfao
