Pierson posted:Do any of the High Elf starts (mortal empires or vortex, don't mind which) have me fighting a broad selection of the other races? Or at least don't have me fighting exclusively other High/Dark Elves? I really enjoyed Tomb Kings but by the end was kind of sick of just fighting mirror matches. In a similar vein, is there a difference to how many places each faction can settle without climate penalties? If so, which faction can settle the most places? I'm sick of being at war with people when I'm just going to suffer for occupying their land

So I confederated Morathi for 290k gold, and I guess she spent all the money on whores during the change of administration, but now that I have her, I can't put her on Sulephet, or give her her magic items, and the quests arenn't available, and appear to have been completed. Is this a bug or a feature, and is there a mod to get around it?b

I see people talking about him getting unlocked after reuniting the entirety of Sylvania but I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen? What you can do, is cause a revolt in the factions home province, and let them take the city. This should revive the faction. It's how I got Morathi back.

toasterwarrior posted:I've mentioned it before but C&C was the only time I've seen single-model monsters and characters that aren't Grimgor or vampires get hundreds of kills in melee on the regular, so that alone is worth the price of admission for me since I'll be damned if a setting as fantastic and epic as Warhammer Fantasy doesn't have dudes getting Dynasty Warrior kill counts. Maybe for like 5th edition characters should be churning through multiple units, but 8th ed they weren't that powerful. I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of standard bearers, champions, musicians, and embedded characters. I miss dooting skeletons

Eimi posted:I agree, they should have the game specific maps in each game (to keep up with new systems upgrades/factions), but the big world wide map SHOULD be by necessity not as detail filled as the smaller region maps. It should be about the big campaign level of the Warhammer world, with less chaff in the way of getting set up, and going to fight different races. Why not do all three? have a game specific map, have a mortal empires scaled map, and have the three game specific maps combined? If I have a beast pc and am willing to wait for longer turn times, why wouldn't I want to play a hugely detailed campaign?

Sodomy Hussein posted:While a concept of 40k is that every faction has its own mythology that disagrees with every other, the books have over-explained the beginning of the central conflict (and I'm sure other things), ruining that if you care about those things. This worked better as an age of fallen heroes best described by fresco painting. To make the much more mundane plotting required of a Horus Heresy book series (and other properties) make any sense, it has turned out that the benevolent god-emperor was not benevolent, a god, or even much of an emperor. More of a colossal doodyhead, really. What books were you reading, by all accounts the emperor was working towards freeing mankind from the warp and the fate of the eldar. An almost omniscient being shouldn't waste their time explaining themselves to creatures that can't understand. The emperor rejecting a position of the father figure for the primarchs is not justification for throwing the imperium into chaos and civil war.

Raygereio posted:The emporer being a lovely dad is kind of a 40k-meme at this point. But the whole Horus Heresy could probably have been avoided if the Emporer hadn't treated the Primarchs as lesser creatures whose only purpose is to follow orders unquestioningly and instead sat down with them and explained things. This is kind of the problem though. The Primarchs aren't equipped to understand things. Even Magnus, who probably was the most capable, was so woefully inadequate he caused more damage than any other being during the heresy trying to warn the emperor. The primarchs simply should not have had the curiosity to wonder what the emperor was doing, or think of a life outside of war. This was given to them when they were distributed by chaos, and the emperor made the decision to try his plan anyway. Explaining his actions to the primarchs would be like me explaining my bank account choice to a dog.

Personally I want the opportunity to play as some of the exalted Norse characters, Valkia, Sigvald, Vilitch, Festus, from their Norse days, all the way through to Chaos Warrior/Daemon-hood. I think it'd be really nice for the TWWH3 campaign to include a nice jaunt through a fairly expansive realm of chaos, north of Norsca, with a quest battle that transforms the LL to a chaos warrior, and the norse settlement faction to a norse/chaos warrior/daemon horde faction. Even better would be the option to do this with an unnamed norse lord. Seems like a good way to make otherwise boring daemons a playable faction, and recapture the horde feel the 5th edition chaos forces had, where daemon warriors and beastmen could be fielded as part of the same army. For chaos dwarfs, I imagine the campaign objective would be to acquire some sort of, "Hat of Hashut"
