I feel like the undivided LL is clearly the most unique experience, which makes it super tempting to play first, but for me at least it probably makes sense to experience some of the more baseline monogod factions first so they don't just feel like lesser/more limited versions in comparison. I know they'll all have unique mechanics that seem pretty cool, so it's not like they'll be completely redundant or anything, but still.

This thread tends to go too hard in the opposite direction in what is seemingly an attempt to appear as contrarian to reddit as possible, while acting as though anyone who has something minor that they don't care for is frothing at the mouth in extreme gamer rage. It's ok to not think that absolutely everything is 100% perfect. Like, the TWW2 DLC unit cards were pretty low quality and out-of-place before they were revamped. Didn't ruin the game by any means, but they weren't good.

yeah reddit is not actually screaming about things being too red. i went there looking for salt and didn't find much

There was a mention about prequel campaign in one of the videos, which seems interesting.

Definition of lex:

Law. Latin.
Turin's stream just showed a Kislev ability, "By Our Blood", which gives their units Unbreakable for 30 seconds if their leadership starts wavering. Looks like a change to their previous one, which was a flat Leadership boost when below half health. Feels like a net nerf, probably?

Zerkovich said there was a big change to Kislev’s “By our blood ability.” It used to be a sort of second-wind leadership buff. Now it’s a one-use thing that makes units unbreakable!

I projected a stream onto my TV and the UI is so red that some guy knocked on my door looking for a blow job so I guess what I’m saying is this game has already paid for itself

You're not going to find salt on a pure hype day. The bitching was pretty consistent for the last week before today. Fog of war ugly, UI ugly, unit cards bad, where my city decision per faction art, build a demon prince lame. Blue Chaos Warrior alone lasted for the better part of 2 months.

Actually give it a day or two, every livestream will be combed for screenshots of the next golden bullet to prove that TWWH3 is a rushed turd being flushed fast for a cash grab.

They have not given us a date or even an estimate for when Immortal Empires will be released. They specifically said it would be after the main game release though.

This isn't even close to being true. Have there been any unhappy people at all for the last two months? Sure. Has that consistently been anything approaching a majority? Definitely not. Turning this thread into a place where we dunk on strawmen kind of sucks.

Portals to the Realm of Chaos pop up every so often, and you can close them to prevent demon armies from spawning, use them to teleport an army to any other portal on the map(!), or go into the Realm of Chaos to progress the campaign. Zerkovich did that to close out his stream, and holy poo poo, it’s more awesome than I even hoped.

It’s this map from an RPG book rendered in full 3D glory! Zerk decided to enter into Nurgle’s realm, but all the realms are on one map. I recognized Arghas the Plague Moon and the Great Tree that connects Nurgle and Tzeentch’s realms.

It seems Cathay and Kislev will be somewhat opposed in hunting down Ursun. The opening cutscene reveals that Miao Ying has contempt for Ursun, but she want to interrogate him about one of the missing dragon siblings, who disappeared into the north. The Advisor is more of a character, and he sees this whole situation as a way to free himself of the curse he suffers from carrying the Tome of the Architect.

I do appreciate that the game will allow you to invade Brettonia with an army of frogs, once the mortal empires equivalent comes out.

I'm a little concerned that the campaign might end up feeling like a slog with too much taking place outside of the main map, but I guess that's what Immortal Empires and Ogre Kingdoms are for if that ends up being the case.

Oh good point, no idea. But at the same time wrangling mods with multiple people is always a pain and it's going to be a while before any really good ones land anyway so I'm good for now. Would hate to miss out on the Ogres though as I'm not going to buy the game on Xbox.
