Gort posted:Is there anything actually interesting about Ind, Araby and Kuresh, or were they just more like "these are where the real-life geographic regions are, we'll change the names a bit" on some map in an 80s Warhammer book? There's a little information on Ind, but not much. They have some special incredibly tough Red Iron that even the dwarves don't know how to make, Lokhir looted a temple for a statue made of it and had it melted down with a lot of trouble to make weapons for his crew, so they hate his guts.

Dramicus posted:They just refuse to use certain weapons. Like swords. Swords go in the book. Dwarves do use swords, they're the holy weapon of Gazul, the third brother of Grungni and Grimnir who protects the souls of the dead and hunts the most terrible threats. It's just that his priesthood is quite small, so it doesn't come up much. They use axes and hammers because those are the tools the Ancestors repurposed as weapons when they first had to make war, but Gazul needed a purpose built weapon to do his job -- Zharrvengryn, the first and mightiest of all swords. It's a big deal to a Dwarf to make a sword, since it has no purpose other than to be a weapon.

Bretonnia has strong gender roles that are enforced only when it is convenient. For example, it is the fashion for young knights to have long hair and be very clean shaven, and no man would ever dare suggest that a fellow knight is, in fact, a woman in armor.

The original Vampire Wars when Vlad tried to take over the empire happened because Vlad had a legit claim, due to the fact that he married an elector countess and there were three other people claiming to be the emperor. Sure, he was a vampire and a necromancer and an enemy of the church of sigmar, but none of those were in the laws about who can be emperor.

Cythereal posted:Huh. There's a province in TW3 that I had no idea existed until I saw it in a video of someone playing a campaign: the Eastern Colonies. Three islands way off in the middle of the sea, east of the Southlands. Not even anything particularly special to them, and inhabited by a random high elf minor. They're a lore thing; the Everqueen goes there every year to throw Morrisleb back into space since it's literally an evil moon and is always trying to crash into the earth.

Zombies aren't really there to do health damage, they're there to do fatigue damage. You can drop pit of shades and wind of death on enemies until they run out of vigor and then charge some fresh decent troops into their backs.

They nerfed vampire magic pretty hard in 3. It's still good, but wind of death isn't killing half an army that you tricked into piling on your zombies. Instead that's what pit of shades is for.

Cardboard Fox posted:Speaking of lore, I've always wondered if the way they presented the underdark in the Total Warhammer games is accurate to how it would look in the real world (of Warhammer). There's one specific map I fight the Beastmen in where it seems like we are underneath the trees and roots themselves. It's always looked really cool to me, but I thought maybe it was just CA presenting what they think an underground forest would look like. Forests in Warhammer are inherently magical and if beastmen (or other nasties) take them over they become weird nightmare places.

DeathSandwich posted:I mean, Dune Spice Wars is pretty sluggish and seems to have a good following, but that's less a traditional RTS and more like a real time 4X when you factor in the political layers, managing CHOAM and espionage, ect. It's got a lot of plates spinning. Spice Wars is really a sequel to Northgard, by the same people. You know what you're getting and it's executed very well; combat is only a single element. Meanwhile, the AOS game has to: - sell people on the AOS setting - compete with TWW - live up to the standard of DOW2, the best-in-class example of squad rts - at an egregiously high price point And probably fails to do any of those things.

Kaal posted:Yeah it’s difficult to interpret it any other way. People had been complaining for quite a while that Total Warhammer was being understaffed and subsidizing other projects, and CA was denying that, but then those other projects get canceled and suddenly it starts raining patches. It's such a missed opportunity. TWW3 will be on an old fork of an inferior version of the engine forever.

GokuGoesSSj69 posted:What do you use for anti large in an Isabella vampire hero stack? Should I just try to get some guns from an ally to stand back and shoot things like that? Had a fight against Drycha that was kind of dicey, if she didn't have dryads and wolves mixed in with the bigger stuff I might not have been able to do it. Send your ridiculously buff heroes in, and drop overcasted pit of shades on top of the fight. It will chew up units while your heroes dunk on large targets, and Isabella can drop buffs and heals while your death vamps use spirit leech.

Doomykins posted:Long lived near-humans who reproduce as fast as us and mature by 20 but live to be 300-1000 makes a bit of sense for the Warhammer scale of war if you ignore "dying out" as literal low birthrate. Could say their cultures are fading from glory(Elves) or literally dying(Dwarves, constantly losing lands/getting wiped by Skaven and Orks.) Humans who live to 100 at best can have double digit kids if they try. An Elven or Dwarven family could hit the triple digits per couple. And every kid who hits 20+ can do the same! What a pyramid scheme! OK, it's Warhammer, there's A LOT of death to go around. The "correct" (meaning, traditional) minimum number of kids for a Dwarf couple is 4, partly because of the composition of the Ancestor Gods (Valaya and her 3 husbands) and partly because Dwarfs have a 3:1 gender ratio. Many Dwarf couples will dutifully have 4 children then decide they don't want to inflict the decline of their people on a 5th, because the Dwarfs (particularly of the Old Holds) are depressed as a people in general but aren't going to let that get in the way of getting on with things. toasterwarrior posted:i wish there was more lore of interdwarf political tension between the idea that it is good and dwarfenly proper to follow the high king because they wouldn't be the high king if they didn't deserve, and that the high king is a goddamn liberal who's just letting these grudges slip by and shaming our ancestorssss The correct way to demonstrate that you are not a fan of the High King is through intense Grumbling

Your Brain on Hugs posted:Fireglaives rule, they're little laser cannons that make really satisfying pew-pew sounds. Can't say if they're any more effective than blundies tbh, except maybe for large single entity targets. Fireglaives are good, especially as a tough hybrid infantry weapon, but blunderbusses are incredible best-in-class direct fire weapons.

toasterwarrior posted:tbh i drop blunderbusses after a certain point, usually once you hit critical mass on fireglaives. less dps is compensated heavily by the range advantage; killing most of everything before you even get into blunderbuss range is very much achievable by a fireglaive gunline And they're much, much better at handling cav that gets into them. You have to really babysit blunderbusses to get the most out of them, fireglaives just do their thing.

One of the problems with AOS is that there isn't really a map. The world is huge yet empty. Part of why TWW works is because there's a map that is constrained and has 30 years of nerds filling it up. I'm sure CA can make a new one -- they filled in a lot of blank space with Cathay -- but it's hard to do well. Another is that you would be stuck with the AOS factions, which are intensely toyetic. You'd get the same stuff you got from the recent flopped RTS.

Grimnir not only departed past the northern horizon to fight chaos for eternity, he was still at it thousands of years of real-world time later when Gotrek showed up to stand in for him, fighting an infinite army of daemons in his stead and attaining the mightiest of all dooms. That is, if you ascribe to the End Times heresy, instead of holding to Storm of Chaos orthodoxy like all right-thinking people.
