I hope chaos dwarfs and Nagash both make it in the game but neither one of them gets hats.

I'll still buy this one. Not-Russia and Not-China seemed cool. I only have TWW1 and not TWW2, though. Maybe I missed out.

I thought you'd need all three games for the new Mortal Empires.

Finished Mandalore's review and I'm pretty on-board with most of his complaints. I really hope the siege stuff he showed off was just bad luck or perhaps a funny prank CA decided to pull specifically on him because it didn't look that bad in any of Janet's videos.

Launch being buggy is a tradition and hopefully there are some funny bugs. Biggest ones affecting gameplay will most likely be fixed in the launch patch.

Randarkman posted:

I'd say the not attacking/stopping in their tracks/landing-to-attack bug that seems to be an animation or movement (or possibly even terrain as someone suggested) issue, is the big one, especially as it has the potentially to really negatively affect the performance of a whole bunch of units.

I was watching Janet's Katarina playthrough yesterday and that must be an occasional thing, because Dervishes and Winged Lancers were sending huge chunks of a plaguebearer unit flying.
Here's both the poo poo "won't attack" bug and a good cav charge -

If you keep watching for a minute or so past that timestamp, there's a better charge. Still not quite 3K levels of infantry destruction

Yea think I'm gonna wait for some more reviews, it looks like a solid base but seems kinda rough, may stick to Warhams 2 for a bit and let them tweak 3 around. How long do the Ogres get bundled into buying the game, just the first week or so?

Dramicus posted:

If you care about Legend's opinion, he gives WH3 an 8.5. His main complaint is the campaign mechanics which he finds to be actively annoying and frustrating and cannot be ignored like the vortex can. He predicts that there's a chance the campaign might get patched or reworked to be less frustrating, but the real saving grace is going to be the next mortal empires campaign.

Dramicus posted:

That would be more of a reward if he didn't have the skill tree of a generic empire captain.

Edit: If anything the Boris unlock is the best reward and you don't even need to get close to finishing the campaign to do it.

DaysBefore posted:

Yeah the Bretonnia campaign, essentially. Once my homelands are settled I'm just going to go fight cool battles against weirdos on the other side of the world.

Hold the 3 main Kislev settlements for 10 turns, then he is available.

I feel like people are being too pessimistic with regards to the combined map. Mortal Empires came out nearly a month after Warhammer 2 was released. I feel like CA is very aware of how much their community wants it. There's no way they haven't been working on it in tandem with the rest of the game. But we'll know for sure when they put out the roadmap.

Mercrom posted:

Does anyone know which units can't be recruited through the outpost mechanic on the WH3 map? Are DLC units like rattling gunners available?

Azran posted:

VC actually got a rework that made all units and heroes accessible earlier, got a new start pos for Kemmler and the whole bloodline system + reworked tech tree. They still need some more stuff, though. There's no point to 2/3s of their regular lord, for instance.

Given the quality of their reworks so far, I expect Norsca and WoC to get a decent amount of love at some point in the future.

Yeah most of what people like about Nagash's undead stuff mostly comes from his AoS designs where he makes some pretty boned up dudes.

TheLastRoboKy posted:

I think it's fairly safe to say that the spectacle is just Nagash himself, all giant and really bad at everything he does and wedgied by life and unlife in equal measure.

Warhams 2 Question:

Has anyone ever seen Loyalty do anything? I've played Pirates and Rats, and in both campaigns I have never seen a Lord rebel against me, ever.

I fondly recall this actually happening in the Way Old Total Wars of Yore, but it seems in this game almost nothing triggers them into fighting me.

I suppose the Loyalty Stuff says you can prevent disloyalty by giving them a strong army and some treasure, which is basically the exact thing you do with every Lord anyway. I also roll my eyes at the concept of giving someone access to thousands of powerful soldiers as something that makes them LESS likely to launch a coup.

DaysBefore posted:

Not to waste on a literal video game, but I do work from home and I have nothing but clerical work to do tomorrow so you better believe I'll be sticking it to the man (by playing a literal video game)

Eagerly awaiting the mod that turns off settlement battles. I can appreciate what they're going for but man, the only battles I ever like in TW games are big open field battles where I can mash big army against big army. I don't want to play DOTA splitting my army up and sending them up 3 different lanes past towers Totally breaks up the flow of the game. Sure I can autoresolve them but minor settlement battles are like... 90% of all of the battles in TW3, lmao

Are flying units not able to capture points? Had a battle where I sent my Demon Prince to grab a supply point, but even when he landed, it wasn't changing.

Prokhor Zakharov posted:

Kostaltyn's voice acting is unironically one of the best parts of the game and he's an incredibly powerful LL. He's vastly more fun to play than the Tsarina, imo, who I think is actually pretty boring (and more than a little undertuned).

Eimi posted:

They should instead make the game 3 skill trees and tech trees better because right now they are filled with just a bunch of really boring, really minor buffs for most factions.

Prokhor Zakharov posted:

Patriarch heals are absolutely bonkers, especially with low count units like dirt bear, bear sled, or man on bear. If Kostaltyn just had the heal he'd still be great, but the fact that he gets all of them is nuts. I've purposely picked fights I knew should be impossible and still won out with him just spamming enormous buffs and screaming constantly, it rules. He can't go toe-to-toe with more combat oriented LL's but he still smokes lesser lords, and the fact that he can make unkillable super bears and murder cats is what makes him so good.

Dr Christmas posted:

Discovered a fun use for Khorne’s Eternal War manifestation: Since third parties can show up to battles now, you can encircle the city and call the attack on yourself, and the enemy you’re besieging will join. Do it if you want to fight on more even ground and don’t want to wait and let your blood meter drop. If the city you’re besieging belongs to a demon army, what little remains in the city once you turn back to it will be just a few bedraggled mortals.

Finally figured out why people think slaanesh has replenishment problems.

They are not orc, beastmen, or norscan players.



This costs 50 control and 100 devotees. Do it.

Bonus

more money

Get this


Later get this


Build 4 of these once you secure your first or second province


Have a wonderful time murdering all the rebels and having massive gains in capturing people to replenish your armies.

The market building in their capitol slots has no such issue. That goes up by 200/tier and gives a +1% bonus to all markets everywhere, and costs are very reasonable too.

Broken Cog posted:

Yeah, I didn't really have much issue with the economy as Kislev, though I didn't get that far before the patch. By the time the first rifts appeared, I had a full second stack that could defend the starting provinces while Katarin went chaos hunting.

I really think the oblasts are supposed to feel like secondary concerns to these huge jeweled cities.

Speaking of, how long does it take to get the Boris unlock quest? I didn't get it in the time I had to play so far.
