So it seems that Nagash is almost guaranteed, for those who don't know what he is, what should we expect? It doesn't really look like he'd be a new faction, seems more like a mix of tomb kings and vampire counts?

Triskelli posted:https://youtu.be/ZRJo3R3ANsw TLDR about the bad stuff: Sieges are a mess. Some serious bugs. Some factions got more attention than others, Tzeentch especially he didn't like. Slaneesh is a problem because it relies heavily on cavalry and charge reflection is bugged. In general chaos factions don't feel fleshed out/diverse enough. Recommends waiting, not buying the game because of its buggy state atm.

So when you finish the campaign, your reward is that you get Be'lakor as a lord, even if you're Cathay, the Ogres or Kislev? What? Did they run out of time trying to implement a reward that actually makes some sense? It would have been better to just not give any rewards like in previous games. Besides that, the Cathay campaign just ends with: "The lost sister is still lost, oh well." It just felt so strange. kanonvandekempen fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Feb 22, 2022 |

Angrymantium posted:Probably an extremely dumb question, but if you're behind in the souls race (I have one soul as Demon Prince at turn 80, one of the Cathay factions has two and I have no way to get from Kislev to their region quickly) do I just have to park my LL in the Forge of Souls and wait for them to go in? I lost a game at turn 155 yesterday and I want to avoid having to start over again, but I'm not really sure what I can do beyond hoping to luck out on beating the AI to the next round of souls. That would not allow you to get ahead in the souls race though, since your LL is tied up in the forge all the time. So you'd have to simultaneously use your other armies to destroy every faction who's ahead of you I think. Does not seem realistic to me.

Would explain the end of the Cathayan campaign if that isn't dlc. Basically a big sign saying AND THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES during that cutscene. I'm guessing it's an opening for future dlc

It's been so long I don't really remember, but I think the campaign for the original game was pretty much the same as the campaign in mortal empires right? First a small beastman invasion, then a bigger chaos invasion in the north and then the huge endgame invasion? Feels like they need to shake that up a little, or make something happen in the Western part of the map at least. Made some minor adjustments to data files this weekend that ensure the chaos rifts just never spawn, and I'm enjoying the game a lot more now.

Old Woman Island posted:Oh there was this also Note that they write 'champions' and not 'legendary lords' Pretty satisfied with what they presented today. I didn't expect IE anytime soon, so I might mostly shelve this game until it releases in september. Slightly surprised they are opening with a lord pack for paid DLC rather than Chaos Dwarves.

ZeusJupitar posted:The reason reddit/forums etc are convinced WH3 is going to be 'abandoned just like 3K!' is that a streamer melted down on air because the campaign gets repetitive after literally thousands of hours. That flipped a switch in nerd heads and now there's a desperate insistence that they're obliged to stop further development and leave all that money on the table for....some reason. Did Legend have another meltdown or is it someone else?

Doomykins posted:Skipping a useful fast mount from levels 1-18 was always a minor letdown but muh efficiency and dude gets a dragon/dino/flying horse later. Am I really the only one here who just installs a mod that increases the skill point gain because I like my lords silly powerful? Ideally I'd want a mod that only does this for the legendary characters (lords and heroes) and leaves the others to just gain regular skill points, forcing you to specialize only the regular characters, but I don't think such a mod exists. On a different note, how do other players construct in their provinces? I usually have one hub (pretty much always the starting location) with all the military production buildings, and just build economy and defense everywhere else. Always makes me feel bad about wasting local buildings that give a bonus to recruitment for certain units, but having to recruit from multiple locations just feels like such a hassle. When the map is very much painted I usually have more than one recruitment center. I would actually prefer if in future titles they implemented a system like in Thrones of Britannia where recruitment does not depend on buildings at all.

Ravenfood posted:Also more powerful techs further limits usefulness of allies. Which is part of why I generally liked the techs and redline as-is. Again, while the game had some problems, I'm not sure the reddit hivemind identified them all correctly. You could just give the allied units whatever tech the ally has. Red-line skills on lords are more of a problem.

https://twitter.com/totalwar/status/1536713835414945793 Not sure if they confirmed this before, but they are trickling an announcement every week until the release of IE. I wonder if the 'sea lanes' bit means they intend to cut the map up into 2/3 pieces like they did with empire. If you read the "why is it a beta" part, it does seem like a lot of work still needs doing. They mention UI, character models. I bet it's going to look rough on release. kanonvandekempen fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Jun 14, 2022 |

Ravenfood posted:This definitely, but I wonder if they will have teleport circles near major routes/ports and just call them sea lanes. Might actually make piracy easier depending on how they do it. It'd be fun to give him a limited roster of cheaper units and make it so his army is really focused around flagellants until he achieves some campaign goal like with that dwarven faction.

Don't think I saw this discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/vcr92c/some_interesting_news_in_the_game_director/ - They are trying to push 1.3 before the end of this month - Redoing character select screens for TW:WH1 lords, so they are less of a close-up - Working on changing the UI to be less red - Heavy hints ("stoking the fires", "getting into gear", "fire and brimstone") that the next DLC after the lords pack is going to be Chaos Dwarfs

MikeC posted:With only 3 armies to go, the Cathay side of the map looks awfully empty and I don't see who is going to join them out there. I'd be shocked if Cathay has less than 5 lords by the time this game is finished, you need to leave some space for them. On top of that, the DLC after the upcoming lord pack is almost certainly 4 chaos dwarf lords that are going to be mostly neighbouring Cathay.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:What will reddit melt down about next? It would be nice if they had a meltdown about the recruitment interface, global recruitment means you have to scroll through way too many units to get the ones you want, it's a messy interface. And when they're at it, make it more clear what some units are good for. When I play woodelves I have no idea about the differences between all the units. Some clarification on what makes a specific regiment of renown better than the regular version wouldn't be bad either.

Insurrectionist posted:I'm really divided on what to play first in IE. On one hand I have been a Vampire Counts fan for a while and they are looking to get a decent amount of new stuff, even just general buffs, that seem fun to play with. On the other hand Volkmar vs Ghorst is one of the DLCs I don't have and from the sounds of the multiplayer stuff I'm somewhat worried about how central the DLC cart will be as the backbone of the VC army, in particular in its role as a mount. I would say it's almost a guarantee that all the old DLC will go on sale when IE releases, so maybe you should complete your collection:)

Insurrectionist posted:I might, there really isn't anything else in the DLC I want though. I don't really play Empire so Volkmar's side of it would likely not see play. And as someone who played tabletop VCs during 6th edition exclusively, the inclusion of Ghorst as a LL over other vampires has felt like a personal insult since I picked the game up near the start of TWW2, so I probably won't play as him either. I mean, you're not wrong, the marcus wulfheart empire campaign is more interesting and ghorst is possibly the most boring paid lord they added to the game, but when it's on sale it's literally cheaper than ordering one beer in a pub for me.

SirFozzie posted:infodump So is the non-IE campaign a prologue? I'm a bit confused with the wording here. Otherwise it seems like the roster for WOC and the monogods is getting a much needed injection of mortal infantry and cavalry, with warshrines and an extra lord and hero for each as well. Nothing too exciting, but it was a bit weird to have them missing. Some things that were speculated based on loading screens, like the slaughterbrute, are not in. I'm glad they redesigned the lord from its tabletop model, but I'm not super excited with how it looks. kanonvandekempen fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jul 19, 2022 |
