ad090 posted:I wonder if the reason we're getting two Lizardmen DLC in a row is, because of how poorly (mostly from their content creators) Tehenhauin's campaign got reviewed, and while Tik-taq-to turned out to be a pretty drat good campaign, he wasn't what most of the fans wanted. edit: And now it sounds like Lizardmen are pretty much done, right? Probably something they wanted to wrap up before moving on to WH3 because Lizardmen dont have much going on in central not-Asia? AAAAA!

Yeah, there are a couple of named characters (Tetto'eko and Oxyotl; both of them available along with another Slann lord in Mixu's mod btw), a lord option (Skink Oracles, priests on steroids) and a mount type (Troglodons, a blind, sorta-serpentine carnosaur that oracles use as mounts) but that's it (maybe the Coatl? I mean, they did add the Saurian and that wasn't in the core book either). At this point I feel they're pretty done, any other addition is sorta irrelevant or super niche. I think there are some Lizardmen groups in the islands south of the Darklands (near where Kroq'gar starts in ME) but that's it, they're going to be filling a lot of holes once they get there. They're up there with the dwarfs in terms of most complete roster (Bretonnia being the only one who has everything from their book).

Vortex mechanics are the number one reason I've not touched that map at all. What's the best mod or combo of mods to turn it all off?

Vortex mechanics are fine, but I'm pretty sure there is a mod that makes it so you need, like, 1 million vortex points to win so just get one of those if you want to paint the map.

I found a mod that supposedly deletes the pop-up armies, but I have no idea if it actually works yet: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1831463738

People have pointed this out whenever the topic has come up in the past, but: If you don't like the Vortex mechanics and just want to map-paint nobody is really stopping you. Just don't do the rituals and proceed from there. If one of the antagonists reaches the final ritual the ensuing battle isn't really that hard and winning it knocks them out of the Vortex mechanic for the rest of your campaign.

Using the mods that make all the rituals super expensive makes for a very chill, low turn time experience.DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:The new Empire regional units look cool as hell and have weird traits like you’d see things have in white dwarf articles for no immediately apparent reason like Aquatic halberdiers lol Well, they ARE from Nordland after all

I hope so - but more likely is that he's just talking about the Slann with the lores of fire and life.

They are doing a pretty good job with DLC for these games, They probably could of really nickle and dimed people and charged for individual units like 5$ for huntsmen 10$ for dread saurians and 20$ per faction leader and you'd of had people in the thread coming in defending it saying "It's just a fraction of the tabletop prices, what's the big deal" So it's nice having some good value DLC for 10$ every few months spicing up new campaigns.

Yeah, it might be ironic with my username, but I really do feel that their DLC aren't a rip off like horse armour. The game was playable with decent amount of content from the get-go, every DLC introduced a good amount of content that wasn't just cosmetic or altering a few stats, as well as letting you come across the content even if you didn't have control of the new faction or whatever, as well as simultaneously having free content released at the same time. When you put how much you paid all together, it's a decent amount, but for what you get it's hardly a rip-off.

As a guy who used to play actual Warhammer, 10 bucks would get you like 1 pewter model, maybe 2 if you were lucky. They sold some army boxes and they were like $260 bucks for 1000 points or so (standard size that most battles were fought at). So, I really don't mind paying for Total Warhammer, because I get to have infinite fun with models that run around and beat each other senseless, and I don't have to roll 45 dice when I charge a unit.

Every DLC is like another 20 hours I put into the game with one new campaign, at the very least. The vampire coast was probably a little less because they were so drat good.

Every cast does HP damage to your caster, but also increases their physical resist. Ride the lightning.

Did they buff Skeggi in a recent patch? He is throwing out a pretty bullshit army on turn 3 against my push and his base seems waaaaaaay better defended than it was previously. Are you supposed to actually push up against the Skaven first now or something? My normal approach was to move up there and crush them before turn 10 because they'd turn into a problem real quick if you didn't, but uuuh, that seems impossible now considering that was turn 3. Crush the starting Skeggi army near you, turn around and go rock the Skaven, upgrade to some Saurus and then come and just crush them with a larger force of dinos?

So I loaded a turn back, went after the skaven, and when I had a 2nd leader up and was about to go investigate he came down with a full stack...of horsemen. I guess that problem solved itself.
