Not sure how much of this is internet phoneline, but previously GW was somewhat infamous for not doing market/customer research (supposedly even being proud about this fact) and stating that video games were just a fad.

Dispelling is also a thing in tabletop, and higher level wizards were better at doing so.

Randarkman posted:This may have changed in the editions, and I mostly just played in 5th and 6th (and a little bit at the start of 7th) but I remember dispelling being an "army" thing not tied to a specifc one of your caster, they just generated the magic dice, whcih could be allocated for either casting or dispelling (or were they separate?). That's also how Dwarf magic resistance worked out, they couldn't cast spells, but they could dispel and several of their characters (and possibly even units) did generate magic dice (runesmiths with anvils generating the most of all), which would naturally all be used for dispelling. This is correct, I just mis-remembered and thought power dice and dispel dice were separate things. Forgot they drew from the same pool.

Worth noting as well that micro'ing Tzeentch barriers isn't some horrific level of cheesing exploit that Legend would use, it's just "pull your units back every so often" and you'll win every fight. Believe Turin mentioned on the MP side that a cycle charging Tzeentch army would be horrible to play against whilst also stupidly strong.

Just had my first CTD, after I used the new bombardment ability on a unit positioned on a platform. That bombardment ability needs a rework as well, it's very temperamental on what it can be used on. Overall the game has been fun but it's TW:W, course it was going to be. My biggest complaint so far is that I'm not really that fond of the new siege maps. Seems like quite a few of them weren't tested with moving your camera around them for lengthy periods of time (looking at you Dwarf and Skaven maps). Plus some of the Ogre siege maps are a bit bizarre in that they don't feel designed for Ogre size units, if that makes sense? Edit: Also these new siege maps are just way too big, to the point of being gameplay problematic. I've won too many sieges now I probably had no right winning by just beelining a cav to the victory point, which isn't exactly a new problem in TW games but the last time I remember it being an issue was in Attila.

I am enjoying sticking a massive Ogre Camp within Altdolf's borders, just peacing out with aggressor Franz every so often after my big bois slap down his armies. It's like if a professional wrestler starting camping out in Buckingham Palace's gardens, stealing from catering and occasionally punching the royal guards. Edit: What's extra funny is Toddy freaking loves me for it Also I'm on a 1060 graphics card, kind of middle/low settings but the game runs well enough.

I've had a load of fun slapping a camp down in the middle of Norsca and having Skrag run rampage, sacking everything in sight. Sadly Nordland has just taken the territory I had my camp in, will probably be going to war with them soon (due to the negative relations from raiding). On the plus side, more humies to start looting from

Camps are a bit rough, like your encamped units don't regen health if they're in an "enemy" territory, but they're great fun otherwise. Become someone's unruly neighbour, smash them in the face if they object.

There definitely should have been a way to force rifts to open, maybe something like 20,000-30,000 gold to spawn one in your capital, because you're tiddling your thumbs waiting for them when you've already by-in-large won the campaign.

I actually liked Skrag's battle and didn't find it that difficult? Bum rush the catapult army first, take out the Warp Lightnings with either Gorgers or a summoned Manticore, and use Dismember to slow the other army's advance. Afterwards even Halberd Stormvermin go down pretty quickly to Ogre charges. Side note, the actual map for Skrag's battle is really nice looking. Nothing fancy but it's exactly how I pictured the Mountains of Mourn looking Blooming Brilliant fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Feb 20, 2022 |

deep dish peat moss posted:I'm a little worried about how Warhammer 3 factions will fit into the overall cast, because it seems like all of the factions in Warhammer 3 are designed around having some kind of catastrophic weaknesses - like Nurgle's melee-only slowness, or Kislev's lack of specialized units, or the Ogres' extremely lopsided glass cannon stat balance - it's hard to imagine they're going to fare well on a campaign map full of more well-rounded factions that have baked-in counters to things that exploit their weaknesses. I can't imagine them reworking every WH1/2 faction to fit WH3's balance like they did with the WH1 factions over time to fit WH2's balance, so hopefully we'll see the WH3 factions fleshed out and given some more options and made less one-dimensional over time Skaven were pretty terrible on WH2 launch and now have one of the most well-rounded rosters in the series, so give the new factions a few DLC's and they'll be fine.

AnEdgelord posted:I am curious what their plans are for expanding the monogod factions, they have everything from the Daemons armybook and Nurgle even has all the Daemons from the Tamurkhan book (not the mortals from Tamurkhan though) My gut says they're going to backport AoS stuff, plus there's still some more generic stuff to fill out the roster like say base Warriors of Nurgle/Tzeentch/Slaanesh. I'm imagining the main reason this wasn't done on launch was to not make the rosters too homogeneous, but they could be rolled out alongside more unique units that emphasise the faction's primary strength. That or they'll be modded in Edit: Also I had the realisation last night that the reason the Survival Battles are so generous with their auto resolve results is so that your competing AI factions can actually get Daemon Souls.

So Kostaltyn's lore is that he loathes Katarin to the point of creating a national schism between the church and the ice witches and looks to overthrow her, and he hates me for defeating her armies after she started attacking me?

Nephthys posted:Apparently theres a tie-in short story where Konstaltyn comes off a lot more level-headed and practical than he does in game. He even admits that he might have misjudged Katarin. Also at one point he finds a chaos cult in a basement, headbutts a demonette down the stairs before calmly locking the door and burning the building down. Which isn't related but is just cool. I'm wondering if something changed direction wise with Kostaltyn during development? Like his cinematics plus the story you mentioned makes him come across more level-headed, but maybe someone higher up felt that made him uninteresting so they decided to go with aggressive zealot Rasputin? Or maybe there was a lack of communication between various dev teams who had different ideas on what Kostaltyn's character was? Either way he's currently coming across as poorly developed/disjointed.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but relevant information for people playing as Cathay/saying Cathay units underperform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_IpVi6KRn4 If you can't watch; Cathay's Formation Lock ability which is turned on by default makes your melee roughly 50% worse, because during combat they spend time trying to maintain formation/reform ranks rather than actually attacking.

Just wanting to note that the Daemon battle themes are some of the best music Total War has put out in a long time. It's a bit silly having a huge bombastic choir score when you're wiping out a three unit stack, but for actual battles it's incredible.

Torrannor posted:In theory, if you had some kind of mobile settlements as Norsca, and if non-chaos factions had a much slower campaign range in not-Scandinavia, you could achieve a similar effect. Then you'd only need some rebalancing of the economy (while keeping the general economic mechanic of "need to raid and raze to keep out of the red"), and perhaps a look at their dilemmas and god boons. They're called Ogre Camps and they'd be a great fit for Norsca.

Ravenfood posted:Any idea why portals are closing randomly? Its near the end of a roar cycle (5 turns until they all go away) and every time I get Katarin within 1 turn movement of a portal they vanish. I needed her to stabilize my lands for a bit so I didn't immediately go in, now I think I basically completely missed out on a round of portals. Its not the worst thing I suppose, but it is a bit annoying. Been playing a Slaanesh campaign, with Marks of Slaanesh giving you sight over enemy armies. Answer is when the portals starts spitting out daemon armies, AI armies change their priority to closing the portals. I saw the Welves on the map cross two regions to close a portal that wasn't affecting them at all.

Just beat the campaign for the first time, overall I enjoyed it but felt I would have had the same amount of fun playing a Warhammer 2 campaign instead. Not being one of the doomsayers screeching this is the worst affront CA has even produced, but think it's pretty reasonable to say this game needed roughly two extra months' worth of polish. Doubly so when it released in a month packed full of anticipated releases.

Staltran posted:Sooo I just got the third soul... How strong are the soul grinder stacks going to be? Because I haven't bothered to close the rifts before, and I have settlements in about 50 different provinces, and there's no way I can recruit enough heroes in time to close all of the rifts. Have you built walls in your settlements? If so you're probably fine, they're about 6-8 Soul Grinders to a stack but the rest are low tier daemons so they're manageable with micro.
