Shumagorath posted:Having read Nagash's entire 1d4chan page I'm not sure how any playable faction can do him justice. He'll probably be player-balanced worse than the Huns. Remember Mazdamundi and Teclis, who are both supposed to be on the same level of power. "The founder of Necromancy, one of the most powerful magic users in the setting and someone that is capable of destroying a continent with a single ritual" translates in TW: Warhammer to something like "a spell list that is mix of Lore of Vampires and Death, a skill that gives -10% cool-down to spells and +15 winds of magic and maybe a bound spell or two if he is really lucky". The CA does pretty good job of portraying notable martial characters as absolute ball-wreckers but I don't think they managed to get a single powerful mage right so far.

Yeah, but your mage hero who is supposed to be just some random schmuck will do as good of a job as your mage LL that is supposed to be one of the strongest mages in the setting. In comparison, the difference between a random elven Noble and Tyrion, or Imrik is far more clear.

Make barriets regenerate only when you cast spells, IMHO. With the amount of barrier regained based on Wind of Magic cost.

From what little I played it seems to me that Minor settlements heavily incentivize fast units and really disincentivize ranged in general. The long and narrow lanes and obstructions everywhere make it really difficult to focus fire, or even to get your units in range to be able to fire at anything at all. Meanwhile, if you can slip a bunch of fast cavalry/monsters/skirmishers through the unguarded entry, you can cause huge mayhem in the settlement, forcing the AI to send a bunch of units to deal with it, weakening their position (and you often have superior speed and can eat them piecemeal). And with a bit of luck, you can just go straight for the control point and win the game outright.

tildes posted:Yes it is a ui error. Your stuff will still cost more. It's worse than that. Basically, if you recruit a Lord and then disband them, you get permanently stuck with their supply lines upkeep penalty because if you re-recruit a previously disbanded Lord, you get a new upkeep penalty and suiciding them will only get rid of the latest one. So it's entirely possible to accumulate a massive, unremovable upkeep penalty if you are used to doing things like recruiting a Lord to colonize a ruin and then disbanding them. And no, don't ask me why I had to restart my Kislev campaign.

I mean it just shows how different are the tastes of people playing the game. For me, Mortal Empires was ignored afterthought of a game mode, while the various Vortex campaigns were the meat of the game I spent like 95% of time in. I have still not finished a single Mortal Empire campaign, despite being pretty much done with WH2, while completing something like 12 Vortex campaigns.

Ethiser posted:No one “finishes” a Mortal Empires campaign they just play until it gets boring. Outside of using mods to change them the victory conditions are mostly nonsense. I know, which is exactly why I ended up ignoring it. Vortex campaigns usually had the good grace to end just as they were getting boring, while Mortal Empire campaigns ended because they got too boring to continue. The former is just far more enjoyable to me than the latter.

There is roughly 0% chance that GW and CA will blow something so major as retooling the Old World in an old-new setting for something so minor as DLC. There will absolutely be a new title, with hopefully less cumbersome name than Total War: Warhammer: The Old World.

Gonkish posted:Caravan is one of the coolest additions that they made to the game. I can't wait to see if they let you recruit, say, Knights Errant or some other mercs into them. The big map has such enormous possibilities. High Elves should absolutely have a nautical version of it, not that they need yet another overpowered mechanic... So should the Empire and Bretonnia, along with the mirror of the same Caravan system, just towards Cathay, for Empire.

Collapsing Farts posted:What is the major drawback of the chaos dwarves? It seems they're "Dwarves, but also with magic" which seems like a step up from "just dwarves". Are there just less of them in the lore to make up for that or something? Everyone kinda forgets it when they are hyping themselves about Chaos Dwarves, but their roster is built around their Greenskin war slaves, with the actual Chaos Dwarves and their war machines being pretty rare and considered super elite, so I think they will play really differently from normal Dwarves. I assume everything outside late-game doomstacks will be mostly various Greenskin units serving as chaff and cavalry with a small core of Chaos Dwarf infantry and war machines. So probably more similar to Skaven than Dwarves, just more durable overall, with more heavily armored infantry instead of long ranged weapon teams as their upper tier choices.

litany of gulps posted:Empire TW had exactly this in the form of Dragoon units. Mounted ranged infantry. They couldn't shoot while mounted, but the idea was to use the mounts to rapidly get them into flanking positions, then dismount and have them form shooting lines. They were always pretty terrible to use and manage, but frankly that was just because it was always better to form your battle lines and use artillery to force the engagement. Empire Outriders (at least the non-grenade launcher variant) are literally this, just with the hassle of having to manually manage mounting/dismounting removed. They are always on horseback, but you use them exactly the same way you would use Dragoons.

Kazzah posted:Man, they must be totally rebuilding the last 2 years of TW2 updates or something Yeah, this is my take as well. It's pretty clear that they did the Norsca oopsie again, except they somehow managed to gently caress it up even harder this time. On the other hand, the fact that they are willing to hunker down and weather the shitstorms while doing all the unexciting but necessary fundamental fixes points to the exact opposite of them wanting to cut their losses and abandon the game.

Kanos posted:TWW2 was a god damned money printer where they could churn out a $10-20 DLC every couple of months and people would beg them for more on an unending basis, and TWW3 promised to be the exact same, so there's very little financial incentive for them to "cut their losses". Historical games can be very successful but no historical game in CA's history has provided remotely near the consistent, ongoing revenue stream the TWW games have. Exactly. They are betting that if they focus on the base game and fix the most pressing issues, they will be able to open the DLC floodgates, lure back and retain most of the players they are currently losing, and go back to printing money. And they are probably right. Lt. Lizard fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Apr 29, 2022 |

Collapsing Farts posted:Didn’t AoS massively increase sales for GW compared to old warhammer fantasy? Seems like it was a pretty smart move tbh The same management that decided to blow up the old Warhammer Fantasy setting also turned Age of Sigmar into unmitigated disaster. It took a pretty massive infusion of new blood into leadership positions of GW to course correct and make Age of Sigmar successful. So the people that made Age of Sigmar successful would most likely made the old Warhammer Fantasy successful as well. And they seem to agree, considering the amount of support Total War: Warhammer recieves from them and the decision to launch the whole "Warhammer: The Old World" thing.

Just give Skaven their unreliability mechanics from tabletop. A full Skaven ranged army fighting a full melee army, should end with both armies being basically destroyed, despite the melee army never even reaching Skaven lines.

The "immobilize" agent action can counter incredible amount of AI movement bullshit and some agents can get enough bonuses to the "assault units" agent action that it actually does meaningful damage to enemy armies, but otherwise yeah. And of course, killing other agents is always useful.

This might be new faction of choice. Yeah, I am actually super loving Nurgle. His play-style both on strategic and tactical map is super cool and unique. And it might be the impact of some balance patches, or having overwhelming expectations of how much he sucks, but he doesn't really seem weak to me? His units might be super slow, but grinding enemies to dust between two anvils is both effective and kinda rules.
