Skeletons break step when they charge and in combat, because now they're in kill mode. The unified marching is one of the coolest little pieces of flavor in the game.

I'm playing mortal empires and I have to ask if there's a solution to the porthole lighting being horribly washed out. It's on all the old world models.

Tomb King units will all probably talk. Their statues are animated by divine servants, and the skeletons are in a weird dream haze where they all think they're actually alive - when a visitor gets plates of dried fruits and dust-filled wine jars the attendants actually think they're delivering a feast.Archonex posted:Also all they need in now is Neferata and her Lahmian version of vampires and the overblown undead dick waving contest will be complete. Setting aside the Strigoi nation (Which is actually in the game but needs a unique unit roster.), the literal vampire pirate faction that keeps getting teased, and the Necrarchs that's pretty much all of the active groups on that side of things. Turning a barbarian queen into a vampire, motivating her to build a competing Serpent Queendom, and giving her a bloodstained khopesh which was supposedly a magic weapon that could destroy Khalida but was actually just a souvenir is basically Neferata's version of a "thinking of you" card.

Archonex posted:I'm assuming that this story ends with the barbarian queen turned vampire fighting Khalida in a duel to the death only to discover that her epic legacy establishing khopesh is really just a poorly cleaned khopesh that ought to have been scrapped a thousand years ago. Cue splattered puppet queen, an increasingly annoyed Khalida, and Neferata laughing her rear end off in the background. Yes. It was the sword Neferata killed Khalida with, and Khalida was basically rolling her non-existent eyes at the whole thing by the end. Angry Lobster posted:That book was good and had some of the funniest Tomb King characters ever. Antar, Hawk of the Desert, Leader and Breaker of Armies, Slayer of the Wicked, Desired of Women, Envied of Men, graciously accepts your adoration.

Eimi posted:I actually love that Neferata is just so over the top with how she's a sexy seductress who has a lesbian lover and drains men dry. Like to me she takes those negative tropes so far, she turns around and becomes badass. Unlike say Morathi. But I'm also a huge vampire fangirl. The Lahmians literally run like half the Empire. They're in charge of the Imperial intelligence service, that's how good at getting their hooks into places they are. Neferata is what you get when you take Cleopatra except even smarter and with thousands of years to practice, and also she's queen of the vampires. She's willing to wait for another thousand years for people to get comfortable with the idea of her being in charge. Her end times tabletop profile is basically "nice hero, shame I just challenged him and he's a vampire now."

Muscle Tracer posted:DoW3 maps also have all the love and character of a competitive Starcraft map. It feels totally sterile compared to 1, which had like ten races in it, or 2, which had pretty good voice acting and detailed maps you got to know. This is because the DoW3 team were trying to remake Starcraft with a 40k skin. I'm only being a little facetious here. It commits the unforgivable sin of clout chasing mediocrity. DoW1 is a good macro-rts with a lot of style. DoW2 is a good tactics-focused rts with a lot of style. DoW3 is bereft of style because it chose glitz instead, and it does it on maps with lane mechanics lifted wholesale from the moba genre with gameplay that is neither macro nor micro.

AnEdgelord posted:The tabletop also gave wizards the ability to counter each others spells and I wish their was a way to implement that without it just being an apm check I do wish there were magical stances that casters could take, like wedge formation for Bretonnia. Vamps could use it to keep their undead together, instead of arcane conduit casters could spend their time channeling or countering, etc.

THS posted:I really wish that conquering cities and towns changed the look of the town. If the Orks raze a town, and then rebuild a ramshackle settlement, why does it look Imperial? I get it'd probably be a massive Art pain in the rear end, but isn't Creative Assembly basically printing money at this point? It's purely an hours thing. That's just a lot of work to do. There are some procedural changes that happen, like when orcs take a dwarf settlement, but I guess they didn't think new ones were worth it. Also they have like 2 other games in dev right now besides wh3.

Dr Christmas posted:My first instinct is that I should start speccing my vampire heroes as melee bruisers to take advantage of the weapon strength bonus Isabella gives them, while putting my generals’ points into spells. Does that logic hold? They excel as casters who stand in melee while they do it, so unlike most heroes they should spread their points out a bit. It really really helps for them to have arcane conduit though.
