Is it just me or does combat feel quicker? I've only done one battle and it was dark vs dark but units moved really quickly and spells went off super fast.

Spells are much more powerful for sure, but I did a Dark elf vs. chaos fight that took some time just now. I think dark elves are just balanced for quicker combats.

Playing on very hard and I'm not very far in but it seems like it's a pretty fair game. Haven't seen the AI book it around the map yet.

My steam claims it going to take over a day to unpack this? Uhh, that can't be right, let's give it a bit to find it's bearings. Okay, so now it claims it's going to take over an hour to unpack everything. Faster than the several hours it took to download at least, and since I'm in Britain, I have the rest of the day available to me.
I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Is it just me or did they remove the encyclopedia, at least for buildings? If so, it's a real shame because I quite enjoyed the full-length descriptions for the stuff in the first game.

Hmmm, there may be some sort of performance issue with the RX480? Mine is REALLY chugging on the campaign map. Battles aren't bad, but the campaign map is like maybe 25fps, where WH1's is 60+ at all times. Nothing seems to change it, either. I'm going to try a clean install of my drivers and see if that fixes it. I updated to the latest ones (they released yesterday), and the campaign map is pretty slow. Aside from that, game owns. I suck at Rituals already.

I'm trying to stay as unspoiled as possible so sorry if this question comes across as ignorant because it is: Do the new races fall into more or less the same niches as the ones from TW1? High Elves as 'basic total war infantry/archery/cavalry'-race, Skaven as tarpit/monster-mash like Vampires, Dark Elves as guerilla ambush weirdos like Norse/Chaos, Lizardmen as ???.?

Not really the high elves are probably the closest to a basic total war faction and even then they get oodles of monsters. The rest of the factions are pretty dissimilar to the first games factions Sedisp fucked around with this message at 11:08 on Sep 28, 2017 |

Unless I missed it and am just stupid it appears public Order does something now at least for High Elves. Namely having it higher increases your growth, and taxes, lowers recruitment cost, and increases recruitment capacity

toasterwarrior posted:Jesus Christ the Warpfire Thrower is warcrimes It's amazing: the Elves don't stand a chance.  Is it just me, or does auto-resolve really hate Skaven? I'm actually kinda happy, because it's making me fight battles I wouldn't have before, and I'm really enjoying the sieges, especially with surprise rats behind the walls, but I had one case where Auto-Resolve killed three of my units, with about 400 casualties, and, when I played the battle I lost. . . 16 rats.

^^^Skaven lack cavalry and that role is taken up by rat ogres and they have slingers instead of archers. Lizardmen lack true archers and instead have close range skirmishers. The two elf factions are fairly balanced. Lizardmen are Rome. They just steamroll everyone with their NoNotTheMindProbe fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Sep 28, 2017 |

One cool thing I've found from poking around in custom battle testing various things and checking stats is that items in MP are a lot more interesting. Nearly every Lord/Hero in the game has a unique set of items they can equip, instead of the potion/scroll spam on generic characters from game 1. This even applies to LL, like Tyrion gets the Heart of Avelorn and Teclis has the Scroll of Hoeth as equippables even though those aren't part of their campaign skill trees. Also, have only done a bit of spell testing, but. Dwellers has been massively nerfed from last patch. It tops out at about 50% HP for infantry units and does nothing to characters. Also costs a bit more to cast. Burning Head is a wind spell now. Fiery Convocation overcast is brutal, but it costs 25 winds. Teclis free version is just the basic cast, which is still solid damage. The High Magic Wind Tornado thing can only be cast on enemy flying units. I dropped it on a unit of harpies and they were instantly obliterated.

So during battles when I mouse over a unit I don't get their stat-sheets to pop up like they do on the campaign map, anyone else have this problem or have I missed a tick box in some options menu or something? e: nvm found it Warpfire Throwers are absolutely amazing and watching a bunch of snooty elves melt in green fire makes my heart sing!
