The puzzles are why i don't ever bother searching settlements. Never were fun. Whoever asked for them to be put in was wrong and it should have been thrown out early in development.

TheHoosier posted:I picked up Battlefleet Armada Gothic II. Anything else worth getting? I already have the DoW games I just picked this up and Mechanicus. I'll add, though - Space Marine. It's an older game, but I love it. I reinstall it every year or so and play through it again, because it's such a spectacular single player fighting game. It really captures the essence of a Space Marine slaughtering countless enemies with ridiculous overpowered weaponry. Edit: Just thinking about the missions where you have a jet pack and a Thunder Hammer and are some ungodly combination of a Valkyrie and Zeus... perfect. litany of gulps fucked around with this message at 18:24 on May 29, 2020 |

So I restarted my Grimgor campaign to get the Blorc Big Bosses and I went east instead. Total slaughter as I declared Waaagh on all the skaven clans in my way and now I have a huge back economy to finance lots of heavy armies for my inevitable clash with the Ordertide.

It's a shame Grimgor adds so little to his campaign. I like the immortals but that's basically it. I like him the most in the lore but in this game he is a really mediocre campaign lord

I've been lurking this thread for a while and bought both games and a couple of DLCs during a sale a little while ago. It's really fun! Having trouble wrapping my head around what a lot of the stats mean in regards to unit performance, but trying out all of the different varieties of units and lords is really satisfying. Something about the Skaven really draws me in and they might be my favorite faction so far. I really like the voice acting for the assassins; they sound so excited to start working. Finished my first vortex campaign win the other day as Snikch using only assassins, gutter runners, and death runners and it was a blast. What I didn't realize though, is that the demon in the item you steal takes over Snikch and affects the game. There's a purple haze and an accompanying voice in the overworld now and Snikch gains new lines telling the demon to get out of his head when you click on his unit portrait. It's really neat! Is this a persistent effect that I'll have whenever I play Snikch from now on in different campaigns? What other factions have things like this when you finish Vortex?

Speaking of Vortex, is there any reason to every play Vortex over ME? I guess it'd be race specific? Also man, near the start of my Ikit campaign f'in Tyrion the elf lord or whatever declared war on me for NO REASON, like I hadn't even eaten any elves, and start rolling around Bretonnia conquering poo poo. I captured Lothlorian but just razing every one of his dumb towns and just nuking his dumb dragon stacks owns lol

appropriatemetaphor posted:Speaking of Vortex, is there any reason to every play Vortex over ME? I guess it'd be race specific? Pretty much. The Vortex Race is pretty bad, but TK, Coast, and lords from The Hunter and The Beast onward usually have good Vortex campaigns. RVT posted:I tried to read some end times stuff on wikis and it was just such a mess it was rough going. What was Bretonnia's role? And I guess they didn't make it through to AoS in any form? From what I remember and this is probably wrong, Fey Enchantress was sacrificed to help resurrect Nagash, and the Green Knight was revealed as the original King of Bretonnia and then led a final Errantry War as the world went to poo poo. They, didn't really do that much.

I guess it'd be race specific? it opens the new world/desert map regions up a bit more and turn times are faster. i imagine a lot of folks kinda quit their campaigns once they've taken over their big main areas, as painting the ME map can get pretty tedious once youre sufficiently rich & powerful

They've taunted Brettonia fans with some ghouls equipped with halberds, fleur de lis on their terrain, and some fluff about how they think they're nobles. Basically just enough that could be interpreted that Brettonia is now just all ghouls, but not so much to say it outright.

Are there any DLC's in particular that I should be looking at with the current sale? Like stuff that's really good and should be jumped on? Also am I correct in that Warhammer 1 DLC also carries over to Warhammer 2? Any regiments or renown or other stuff I should be looking at from WH1 in particular?

But on harder difficulties you'll be facing multiple armies constantly. Watching your gunline shred hundreds of infantry while your flayers crash into things is glorious There's always an optimal way to do stuff but you could easily just get a bunch of monsters and melee stuff as Skaven as well. Ratlings are abysmal for sieges as well

I have died on this hill before when people kept talking about LM being nothing but saursu spam... but you don't actually have to do ratling gun spam. Skaven have other good ways to win battles. If you don't like the gunline strategy (and I don't either) there are other ways to play that work!

Like no one is denying they were getting actual powers, it was just from a different source than they thought. Same with how all their male magic users just so happened to become servants in the Wood Elf court while the female ones get taught and spit back out to serve Brettonia instead of getting taught by the Lady.

I didn't use alot plagueclaws in my Queek army in game 1 (I did have them, I think I fielded 1 in his army for a while, I had other armies with 1-2 though). I find spamming a single powerful unit to be a very boring way to play this game.

The elf gods are more chaotic than the chaos ones Like jeez the asur, pre-end times are still cheerfully worshipping the literal self-described alors of Murder that their sworn enemies across the sea do, and taking slaves while they do it And when it turns out in end times that their sworn foe for a thousand thousand years, the most hateful, malicious, and deceitful mortal being yet walking the earth, was maybe the first choice for king They still have a civil war so huge that the noblest living champion of the Asur immediately draws the murder God’s crazy-sword and becomes scarier than Malektih Maybe the end times elf story IS good Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 20:23 on May 29, 2020 |

She's not fake, she's just an elven goddess rather than what they conceived of her as. Most human gods that aren't Ulric and Sigmar are just mangled-in-translation elven gods in Warhammer. See also Mathlann and Manaan.
