Oh wow, so it definitely seems like Sega cracked the proverbial whip, and CA is now in make or break mode. ToD is looking amazing across the board, which it absolutely has to be considering how badly they hosed up with SoC. They actually did fairly in-depth race mechanic reworks! All the changes to Nurgle, Empire, and Dawi look great. The units look great. They're absolutely trying to make up for things after SoC clearly didn't land the way they wanted it to. I want to see what the Nemesis Crown mechanic is.

Bummer that Malakai starts up in Kraka Drak instead of Karak Azorn. Making Kislev's start easier isn't really necessary and while you're fighting Northern threats just fine it could be cool to have the ogres/greenskins/chorfs threat and being the only "good" lord there.

Amazing what happens when all your eggs are in one basket and you no longer funnel the majority of resources into doomed projects that would of been fad-chasing 10 years ago.

That ROR landship has made me suddenly want to get the Empire pack. With a mortar and all those grenade launchers, it'll be the closest thing to a fantasy Baneblade.

After how good the DLC looks it's kind of a shame they're going to be releasing much smallers DLCs from now on, though that may have referred to the fact this DLC actually brings three overhauls with it lol

For real. Like, a minor overhaul of a resource for the most popular faction that otherwise has no use should seem like a nothing project that is such a no-brainer but it's such a breath of fresh air compared to, well, anything from SoC

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Lol what Comrade Blyatlov posted:Drycha is just south of Katarin I was talking about moving Malakai over to the Mountains of Mourn near Grimgor/Greasus/east of the Chorfs and the relevant enemies for the starting position compared to Kraka Drak. Katarin's start is fine, but hard, but Drycha is probably not going to bother Malakai that much. Ungrim's got that to deal with, sure. E: and I like having Drycha there as Katarin. Deciding whether to wipe her out early or move back north sooner is fun. Malakai is going to potentially stabilize the entire north. She will have natural allies north, southeast, west, and southwest. Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Apr 16, 2024 |

This is an odd read of that, especially since we're seeing the model in front of us right now. You can buy each of the faction updates separately and there is clearly not less going on in there. If anything, my main takeaway from it is we should be getting higher quality and more focused DLC that you can decide which parts you want to buy. Not sure if we'll get it on quicker timelines or if it will still feature as a bundle drop, but ToD sure makes it look like they took the correct lessons from the SoC debacle.

Dolash posted: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. Per streamers, quite the opposite. That shooting attack on the goblin hewer is apparently a massive shotgun blast of axes, not a single-target axe. The goblin hewer looks to be more a melee piece that can periodically go 'gently caress everyone in that general direction.'

These overhauls for Empire and Dwarves look amazing. I'm very much torn over whether I will play Gelt or Malakai first. One thing I don't like is that resolving all legendary grudges requires you to wipe out every High Elf faction but Imrik and Alith Anar. Plus the main wood elf factions. You're required to wipe out more high elf factions than dark elves! What did Teclis do to earn this treatment? I do like my order faction hug fests. Luckily, the rewards resolving these two legendary grudges gives you are not that tempting, so I will just leave them unfullfilled.

Nurgle military buildings only costing infections really solves their finances. If you properly run down every gnoblar you can get huge chunks of infections from battles, no longer having to save up 10k per blue (purple?) building in early game which was ugh.

The race to the sword of khaine is already one of the best parts of IE, definitely excited to get more stuff to fight over

CA making me really happy I didn't reinstall to get a VH win per faction yet because the QoL on display here is incredible. Also the new adventures to be had... y'all talk about opening the game and picking Karl every time, I haven't had a serious empire campaign yet that wasn't Gelt. And now Gelt in Big Trouble in Little China? gently caress yeah.

This game's development is such a wild loving rollercoaster. Every few months I swap between "game dead, CA dead" and "WE'RE BACK, BABY". Looking forward to the DLC after Thrones of Decay being a crushing disappointment that introduces a bug that disables melee defense for 6 months.

Mercy dropped some good looks at empire stuff. Empire Overall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRAhk7ozERo Gelt Doomstack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17vloJEuHQ0 Everything about each of the race updates in the DLC is top notch, do more of this please CA. Twigand Berries posted:Looks like empire wizard heroes are getting some new special skills with some great army buffs. They are completely busted and insane and I love them. Special mention goes to Grey Wizards (+20% ambush, Slippery, and Stalk baby. Surprise, all Pit of Shades! [this will be extra insane with Nuln upgraded mortars for an all sneaky army]) for making incredibly dangerous stalking armies and Amber Wizards (already had the griffons, but with the baseline yellow tree of +armor and MD and now 2 summons of great hawks) now giving you the ability to take the skies. I've never wanted to Empire as hard as I do for this DLC, just loving excellence. TaintedBalance fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Apr 17, 2024 |

I can't actually think of anything that could take this on once it's leveled up besides maybe a map with no trees and a lot of guns. Even then, if you've got good micro you'll get them to blob up enough to wipe them out.
