- They're looking into adding missing races to the main campaign (like VCoast) in the future. You may fight High Elves as N'kari. - lol CA playing coy with Chaos Dwarfs - Horrors don't split due to balancing concerns. Blue Horror got added as their own unit because they needed as many units as possible for Tzeentch's roster. Azran fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Feb 8, 2022 |

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Meanwhile the official TW forums are angry about Tzeentch reskins, Boris looking different, and The Lore Don't forget the rear end ladders! People apparently want their ladder-carrying animations back. Edit: While playtesting the Daemon Prince's equipment feature, they decided to remove the cooldown for equipping and transferring items because they felt it wasn't very fun, and that ended up extending to all items in general. Edit 2: The lack of night-day cycle is related to how integral lightning is to a location's personality - it was decided early on in development. For example they didn't want battles in Sylvania to be fought in daytime. Azran fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Feb 8, 2022 |

Azran posted:- Some of the lords that could've been in the map but aren't (Drycha, Malus) were omitted for gameplay reasons, to give players a bigger variety in terms of opponents. Huh? How is omitting lords (especially ones that are far away from their races' home like these two) increasing opponent variety

I imagine they're also future-proofing for DLC, so if, say, they want to add Tetto'eko there or whatever. Azran fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Feb 8, 2022 |

In their core lineup, but remember, there's nothing stopping you from getting outposts in factions that have artillery, like beastmen, warriors of chaos? and eventually Chorfs, which is where chaos will probably end up getting most of their arty.

Edit: you are limited to units the faction can currently recruit though. So if you get an outpost in the Empire, for example, you will only get access to Empire Knights if they have the appropriate building.

that outpost ability was supposed to be a defining feature of the ostrogoths(?) in atilla, but it never really worked correctly due to the ai building miles of sewers and churches instead of recruitment halls. still, it'd be neat if they get it to function this time.

Streamer: "But I mean, they're clearly not there, it's all Orcs. I'm sure this has to be post-End Times, Grimgor has already destroyed them all so they're done" Dev: "Let's move on" (they both laugh) It was very clearly tongue-in-cheek, especially considering the massive HEY CHORFS ARE COMING hint we got as a loading screen quote.

In WH2 they already have the "You have recruited the maximum number of units" restriction for armies, so it stands to reason that you can only transfer allied units if there is room for them out of the limit of 4. It will also probably be moddable.

During the stream today they asked about skill point respec and the dev said that it's something they're aware many people want, that it's technically feasible but a lot of work and that it just wasn't a priority during development but it's doesn't mean it's never going to make it into the game.

In Empire/Napoleon they'd deploy line infantry in X shapes so half of each was shooting the enemy, while the other half shot their friends in the back. After their general charged directly into the firing line of course. If there was an AI like that, it left us way before Rome 2.

It's not really a problem in early game when you and the AI don't have full stacks. I reckon there should be an option to limit army size to 10 units or less.

I'm having a hard time thinking of what else it could mean other than what they've already revealed about post-campaign play. I mean, the template implied by TWWH 1 & 2 was a unified campaign that all DLC needed to squeeze into plus the sandbox mode. But 3 is already launching with separate special campaigns for coop, and 3K DLC added new start dates and other modifications. So who knows how they are thinking about expanding the game.

Dunno about everybody else but I hope they think about more minicampaigns for the DLCs. I really enjoyed the ones for Rome 2, though admittedly the Warhammer 1 campaigns weren't great.

I don't think it's impossible, but I would be surprised. Their data in TWW1 told them that so few people actually played the DLC minicampaigns that it literally wasn't worth the (substantial) effort to make them. The launch minicampaigns in TWW3 might be them testing the waters to see if opinions/player habits have changed.

I feel like they are kind of setting themselves up for more minicampaigns just because the game itself is releasing with a few minicampaigns, which apparently are quite good. I'm all for minicampaigns if they are good, and Total Wars kind of have a mixed past with them. Napoleon and Rome 2 had some good mini campaigns, but the Warhammer ones have not been great.

I'm also kind of inclined to agree with this. I played the minicampaigns for the TWW1 race DLCs once each and had no desire to go back to them, but if that dev time is spent on more LLs or units or something I'm likely to be far more satisfied with it because I'll simply interact with it a lot more.

I've love to see more campaigns, and I think the DLC lord packs in 2 were at least a step in that direction, in addition to the multiplayer campaigns at launch for 3 that have been pointed out. Not holding my breath, but it would be cool since I expect to play this game for a very long time.

Yeah the thing with the game 1 mini campaigns was that they were one-and-done. One faction, no MP. The Napoleon and Rome 2 mini campaigns had lots of factions that felt different just like the big campaign. The WH3 mini campaigns seem to be leaning the right way. I haven't seen the Kislev one, but the Cathay one has both cathayans and all four daemons (and maybe the two ogres? They're present as AIs in the streams so why wouldn't they be playable?) set up right next to each other for a battle royale that can be decided in a few hours. Seems like the perfect mode for wrangling up some friends for a run without having to leave it unfinished or struggle with schedules. I'm almost as hyped for that one as I am for the regular campaign.

Three is already rolling with mini campaigns, so assumedly there will be more here or there. In fact, I can basically guarantee it because the multiplayer campaign stuff is tied to them. Ofc there's gonna be more for other places. looking at the map in streams I'm actually surprised at how small it feels. I get there's the HELL DIMENSION but that's a sometimes thing, immortal empries isn't going to change the map much at all which isn't necessarily a complaint, but.

The kingmaking in true 8 player FFA in the Cathayan campaign is going to be insane. I doubt I'll ever end up playing with more than two other players, if that, just because I don't know many people who play these games, but it does seem like it would be fun to experience the, well, chaos of the 8 player version of it.

I would not be surprised (or mad) at more minicampaigns coming with a focus on interesting co-op experiences given what we're already seeing/hearing about the included minicampaigns. If I can slam out a game of warhams with some friends over a couple hours and beers, i'll go ahead and wipe the grudge of game 1 minicampaigns from the book.
