They could release $10 horse armour for this game and I'd preorder it without looking.

I love the "chaos is dead" endgame switch. Dwarves on normal I've lucked out with good friendly factions and weak Empire. Greenskins were weak and fell quickly. Got armies north in the last moments to save northern Dwarves, confederate and resettle. Had the best battle yet with my 2 stacks of veteran quarellers and warriors with some artillery fought a bloody stalemate against 3 chaos posterboys. Replenish, finish them and their birdy friend and then poo poo hits the fan! It turns out the rest of order factions love me and have some cool deals (vassal included) but hate each other guts! Why does my dwaven bros of Karak Zhufbar feel the need to attack Border Princes? Empire goes about my Northland vassals and I intervene, but not before standing for the Empire against Brettonia! I love it! It's waaay better than unstoppable snowball of Rome 2 and more logical than Realm Divide of Shogun 2.

There is something so Warhammer about an event titled "An age of peace?" snowballing into a clusterfuck of backstabs and broken alliances across the board. About as much fun as the actual Chaos invasions to be honest!

Also, as a point of reference the F2P game World of Tanks is currently selling a tank pack consisting of 4 premium tanks for the meagre price of 75 USD. So, yeah, I am perfectly fine with the DLC price as is anyone with an actual salary.

WoT's pricing is pretty amazing, once that game has people by the balls it's like they become completely oblivious to the idea of contextualizing premium tanks as DLC and comparing the prices to outside games, because they sell premium tanks that cost $50 like hotcakes, on top of selling premium currency and various boosts/items for real money.

TipsyMcStagger posted:how does AI assassinate work? I've reloaded a game about 8 times and it makes no difference on the auto-save for critical success assassination on my lord. I don't want to encourage save scum, but after you reload, do some stuff, destroy a building, fight a battle, something. This will give you a new RNG figure. Your lord can die, it's part of the fun, deal with the fun of it  It'll be more fun in the long run.

There's nothing sadder than seeing the AI Empire get exterminated by the pitiful one-third stacks of phase one Chaos. Franz just can't get his poo poo together even with Volkmar joining the party. Estalia otoh... It'll be interesting to see how the faction dynamics play out once another 4-5 races get added. Right now Orcs/Dwarves seem pretty 50/50, Beastmen never really do anything but make pests of themselves, Chaos seems to crush Empire even earlier with every patch, and Brettonia is forever getting backstabbed by Estalia.

The Age of Peace is way more fun than the Storm of Chaos because you can go about your merry rampage without dealing with bullshit attrition that only affects you.

Thats why i recommend people try a 'no chaos invasion' mod. Feels like a more traditional TW game and can be a ton of fun.

At least TWW doesn't make me hate humanity for every update. After five years of WoT I am more than happy with the Dlc model of TWW. Also hoping for Skaven next. I looked at their army list and they seem to have the potential for an army with more war machines and artillery than the other factions.

xthetenth posted:Free company militia are so ridiculously good in the early game as Empire. Agreed. They're amazing just as flanking light infantry but their vanguard deployment comes in handy sometimes too. I beat an orc stack which had a doom diver and would definitely have destroyed my garrison+lord+single militia unit if I hadn't been able to take out the artillery with the free company and then flank the archers with them afterwards.

Arcsquad12 posted:Warpstone gunlines. Skaven are going to be weird since their fun toys like the poison grenades and machine guns are technically upgrades for your standard units of clanrats, like Night Goblins and the fanatics. Maybe they'll be implemented halfway between say Fanatics and Irondrakes where the ratling gun is an "artillery piece" that can mostly keep up with the line infantry, and the extra thirty guys in the gun crew wade into combat with the rest.

Free company make starting Empire a lot more versatile. They're a very good addition.madmac posted:It'll be interesting to see how the faction dynamics play out once another 4-5 races get added.

I've rarely seen Estalia do much of anything, but in my Beastmen game I skipped past Tilea and pushed all the way up through the Border Princes. The Tileans followed me up, snapping up razed settlements all the way to Akendorf, and ended up being the only human faction left in the game. It was pretty cool.

They need to make the leadership penalty you take from not having any ground units cumulative because either it resets every time they land or it's not enough. I've had a few fights now that have been me wiping out the whole enemy army except for a flying Karl Franz or flying Louen who then will land, graze my units taking no damage themselves, use their mass to push out and fly away, repeat for 10 minutes and their decisive defeat turns into a draw. It's really dumb.

They have so far not deviated from the FLC schedule at all, which means next DLC should be a new race +new free lore/hero, almost certainly wood elves+Lore of Life or Shadow, then a Greenskin/Dwarf Lordpack+Wurrzag. The free race is after that, so we should get Brettonia in three months, or around Nov/Dec. The real mystery is what paid DLC gets bundled with Brettonia, if anything and what comes with the last lore of magic, since Skaven and Tomb Kings aren't really associated with Life or Shadow.

Just to prove my point about the Age of Peace being loving awesome, my current greenskin game has turned into an epic war between The Empire and the Vampire Counts where I've been sending in Waaghs from the bordering mountains to back up the zombie hordes against an ascendant Empire.

I'd like to see a mod that removes Everfailure and pals and launches Age of Peace on turn 50. It'd be something nice to try once a while.

I know the schedule, but I rather have Skavens than Wood Elves/Brettonia. With Skaven, GW actually managed to invent a race that rivals the Orks in crazy mayhem. Anyway, I started my first Empire campaign and I didn't realise there were so many non-humans to fight in the early parts of the game. Regiments of renown are great, since you end up getting units before you have reached them in the tech tree. Is it possible for a Regiment of renowned to be wiped out? I recruited the Flagellants, who then got murdered holding down Kazrak, and now I can't recruit them anymore.

Usually when that happens at most you have to wait a few turns before you can recruit them again. At least, that's been my experience. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

You can only hire one unit of a Regiment, right? It doesn't seem like one unit would be enough to be able to really exploit their special ability.

Depends on what the ability is really. The Tempelhof Luminarks ability to use the net from the lore of light as an ability rather than a spell is really good for example, as is the chillgeist's slowdown aura that lets them catch pretty much any cavalry. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Maybe both verify your install in Steam and also double check that you both definitely have all your mods disabled? I've only seen this happen when it was caused by mods, hope the new patch didn't break anything. e: If nothing else works you can also try rolling back to the previous version, if you're feeling adventurous: https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/183847/the-grim-the-grave-hotfix-update-06-09-2016 Flakey fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Sep 6, 2016 |
