The brief look I saw of Dwarf changes look awesome and the Empire stuff looks so much fun. Gelt on pilgrimage with his alchemy bro is perfect and von Draken's workshop looks cool. Sniping stalking debuffing mortars seem hilarious and the RoR version might be worth bringing lategame just for the safe AoE debuff.

e: Im also interested in what they are doing with Bruckner getting two unique weapons, one a sword and one a lance. Will his model change at all with that?

He uses the lance while mounted and the sword on foot, according to Zerkovich's unit video

Summon the Elector Counts’ functionality has changed. Originally, it replenished all the Elector Count state troops. Now, when the Elector Counts are summoned, every Elector Count that is not currently garrisoned or besieged will be summoned to Karl Franz’s location, turning the tide when faced with overwhelming odds.

this sounds spectacular

That's going to be very funny. Does that only affect Elector Counts in your faction or would independent ones get summoned too

Yeah, I'm not going to get my hopes up because there's only so much they could still add, but I'd love a Helborg/Schwarzhelm add.

Bruckner is tied to the book, but he's a character that makes zero sense serving Franz, Volkmar in the Southlands, Gelt in Cathay, or Markus in Lustria.

Schwarzhelm makes sense for all of them to a degree. And Helborg could have been made a LH and would have made sense in every army also.

A small DLC with Helborg, Schwartzhelm, grandmasters, the two missing big knightly orders and doggos. There you go.

But now would be good.

MonstersAbound is playing a Epidemius FLC Nurgle lord campaign already:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBPSjvvrrz0

Mechanics: Plagues. Plagues!! Epidemius's unique mechanic is he gets bonuses that increase for how many non-Nurgle factions have plagues on them, which means he's an interesting like...mid-game? Faction? Also the cycle buildings are still slow as poo poo. The other buildings look cool though (walls are where you get some of your hero recruitment from, trade resources actually Do something). His start is funny (Malus Darkblade to the west immediately, Tzeentch minor with Daemon Prince, then Boris Ursus, behind it).


e: This rules, that whole area's a thunderdome now. Malus - Epidemius - Daemon Prince - Boris Ursus - Archaon along the northern edge, cross the water and Throgg and Malakai are fighting while also pushed up against Wulfrik, Azazel, Throt.

I think the reason why I hate the chaos wastes and will probably not enjoy epidemius is that you are facing so much chaos and daemons for a long time.

By the time you become a threat to kislev or the empire, you are in doom stack territory.

Way back in rome total war you could hold down alt to change a units weapons if they had multiple, the only problem was it wasn't explained well the stat differences, if a unit had multiple weapon types or even about the alt functionality, now adays it's just for telling ranged units to melee but telling your cataphracts to pull out one handed weapons would just tear through everything in melee.

They really should implement something like that for black orcs, one handed and two handed modes.

Karl no longer getting trespass penalties is actually huge because of the dumb way they made this game, last Karl game I played I revived Stirland from being dead to vampires by recapturing their capital city and giving it to them in a event, they immediately had -100 relations with me because of Karl trespassing outside the city with no movement while melting to vampire attrition and they declared war on me.

Very excited to play Franz where he can shout at a city and spawn a million babies and an army. Very excited to play Gelt too where I can apparently call down off-map magic artillery.

Perhaps most excited to throw a book of settled grudges at a legendary lord and take their poo poo.

That goblin hewer has suspiciously good melee values and absurd missile damage. Maybe you are supposed to shoot off one volley and engage in glorious melee afterwards?

Look, it takes skilled dwarven smiths years to produce one beautifully-wrought, inlaid axe blade. Industrialization is trying to put honest craftdwarfs out of business by making them mass-produce cheap and disposable ammunition-grade axes.

You know where that line of thinking leads? The Chaos Dwarfs, who stopped hewing goblins and started employing them to mass-produce their ammunition, which is frankly crueller.

Yes, it has a ton of crew and turns into a slayer unit after the two volleys. That's been confirmed.

It sounds like the Goblin Hewer crew are basically a unit of Slayers, which is interesting.

I found a pic of the new FLC Gold Wizard on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1c5h92d/gold_wizard_flc/

So the FLC is Epidemus and the new Wizard. I thought there was going to be a second FLC legendary character. Did I read wrong?
