Fangz posted:I kinda suspect the AI always had that second stack, he just replaced the general with Franz once he recovered from wounded status. Spoiler, I only JUST realized it was possible to swap generals without trading armies. I've abused it a little to warp generals to places they'll need to be in a few turns. Back when I actually did Quests in their entirety. Why, Volkmar. Why do you want me to go fight my Buffer to Chaos?

RentACop posted:Sigmar, in a vacuum, is kinda middling. It's got a Moorcockian vibe to it, and there's some individual interesting parts (mainly involving the lizardmen) but everything feels super pointless and it's vastly less interesting than the previous setting. Also, Archaon grows even more powerful and recieves a prophetic vision of him killing Sigmar. Yes, he wins the Age of Sigmar For gently caress's sake, GW will never learn. Nobody cares about their stupid goddamn supah-evul bland-rear end chaos antagonists. Chaos undivided was a mistake.

This is the same group that spent 8 editions trying to tell players that Failbaddon the Armless was a serious threat. Retconning multiple points of lore to make their big bad not seem utterly incompetent.

Why does chaos even need a singular champion? Isn't having the lure of chaos and the constant threat of corruption creating new foes out of old allies more interesting than Abbadon/Archaeon constantly failing because they are terrible? And why would gods mostly based around conceptual ideas need a single "champion"? I guess I'm saying WFRP 1st edition (The Enemy Within campaign in particular) was peak Warhammer. I jumped ship at the end of 5th edition, but in retrospect it had already mostly gone to poo poo.

They don't hire the best writers. They don't hire good writers. They hire "enthusiastic" and "motivated" ones, because (modern, at least) GW doesn't pay their employees well compared to what they could make elsewhere. They work at GW either because they're ridiculously diehard fanboys, or because they're too garbage to work elsewhere. This accentuates a problem that other industries have with long running things, where the fans end up writing for the things they grew up consuming, and turn it into an uncanny homunculus of what they thought things always should have already been. Archaon is GRIMDARK personified, so he gets pushed for the above reasons. Tiler Kiwi fucked around with this message at 08:40 on May 11, 2017 |

Devorum posted:Just 4 RoR. A cannon, a rocket battery, some cavalry and some swordsmen. The rest were all normal troops, all with at least 1 gold bar of XP. Luckily, I was able to distract them with my brayherd while I ran off to heal up from the previous battle. Okay then it was probably what Fangz said above. The AI does cheat for extra money and public order, but it doesn't cheat units out of thin air.

Apparently it is not possible to mod fortress walls in custom campaign maps? That's too bad, I was looking forward to having actual tiny fortresses to defend as Dwarves, but instead you get maps that while give you favorable terrain, do not have walls/gates/towers helping you defend.

I suspect that's exactly how it will be and the employees have been on a different steam game ID because otherwise they would have to be updating or running a beta build of the released Warhammer. Once Warhammer 2 gets released, I would expect that it becomes a Fall of the Samurai style patch to the base Warhammer game.

So many amazing things. The lazer dino shoots a lazerbolt in the background. Stegadons charging in first. A shotgun arrow thing. What seems to be forward momentum dropped rocks with the dinofliers. The goddamned t-rex at the end. The cute loveable skink whom we all love and wish no harm to.

That Skink would gently caress you up in a heartbeat if his preprogrammed instincts said to do so. It'd be like the T-Rex going apeshit on that elf except adorable Also I am continually amazed at how much variety the campaign has between factions. Playing as the main Bretonnia faction and Carcassone is a world apart. Bretonnia at large is all elite cavalry all the time and here with the Enchantress i'm leading a horde of unwashed peasants and religious chivalry obsessed fanatics into battle to die in droves. Hell, the Enchantress basically gets a buff that makes her units get warded too. Ditto with the Von Carsteins. Hell, they're the epitome of difference. Vlad favors elitist and tactical oriented gameplay while Isabella favors heroes and zerg rushing with super buffed monsters. Archonex fucked around with this message at 15:16 on May 11, 2017 |

That trailer honestly looked worse than their earlier in-engine ones for Warhammer. Not sure if they rushed it out or something. e; it's more accurate to how the actual game looks though so maybe it's intentional.

So judging by that video, it looks like they're gonna fudge the terrain so that you're not fighting under rainforest cover as much as you probably should be. By the by, anyone have a timestamp of the lasersaur in action?Scrub-Niggurath posted:So since they're adding the southlands too, it's fair to assume we're getting Tomb Kings as dlc right?

By the by, anyone have a timestamp of the lasersaur in action? I'm glad they do, the fights against Wood Elves in fully forested terrain are goddamn annoying. Lasersaur is fairly early around 0:35, look to the lower right. Looks a bit like the Luminark projectile.
