Legend's main grief with WH3 was the realm of chaos and the portal mechanics being an incredibly boring slog, and in that respect he's completely right- considering player retention post release, I don't think this is an especially Hot Take either

The minor settlement changes in WH3 also means that the vast majority of your encounters are likely to be a siege battle of some variety, and while some of the minor settlements are pretty fun, I don't know if making already rare field battles even rarer was worth the addition. The game does appear to be getting better though, and I truly hope that IE gets a long and healthy life and that the botched release didn't kill its long term potential

village of the tiger men sounds like something made up by a map maker very far from the place in question, like the equivalent of an ocean map's Here There Be Dragons I bet if you go there and actually talk to the locals they'll be real confused and tell you their town is called Shropshire or something

tbh a malagor doomstack can basically be him alone with a single unit that's good at hiding. After the beastmen update i did a campaign that was pretty much just malagor flying above everyone, soloing armies with near infinite flocks of doom

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4kADTggu2c So apparently there's a neat lil bug where you can copy your LL's to get multiple clones of unique, stat-wide boosting lords or I guess bring LL's into other factions from turn 1

Picked up my L/VH ghorst campaign again and obviously kept doing well since he's a beast, expanding all the way to the tomb kings eastern border and up towards the northern chaos wastes, chewing right throught the orks, ogres and kugath with no real opposition to speak of Decided to branch off and go east with a couple of armies. My zombie horde struggled a bit with a bog standard cathay stack of jade warriors and crossbowmen and some artillery pieces, but going up basically the same army led by Zhao Ming was like running into a brick wall. The jade warriors are almost as tanky as my zombies, which isn't really an issue as I'll win that war of attrition with regen and magic--- except the crossbowmen mega prioritize my lords and let me tell you, a corpse cart lasts MAYBE three volleys against 7 units of crossbowmen I guess it's time to at minimum double up on stacks if I want to get through without becoming even deader. This is the first time I play against a teched and leveled up Cathay- I blew through them so quickly as Sniktch that they never really got any good stacks up and running, so I had no idea how tanky a faction they really are, they just never break Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Sep 4, 2022 |

Haha, finally get the AI to attack me in a siege defense that'd be real fun to play, and the game crashes every single time at the exact same point, around 2 minutes in- though I can't seem to see what specific action done by me or the AI causes it. Oh well, a shame, at least I can auto resolve it and still win. No mods, no steam files needing verification. I guess it's just ~IE beta~

I actually made a save file so I could check it out further at a later point. I think this is the first time I've actually experienced a crash since about wh3 release, so I assume it should be pretty consistently reproducible https://drive.google.com/file/d/12m01U3714ZFisKazd32JI6A24cBJnPog/view?usp=sharing If anyone wants a golden order campaign that's going fairly swimmingly, be my guest

The AI definitely does cheat, mostly in ways to make it interesting to play against, but the empire also has unique vassalization mechanics that doesn't take into consideration relative strength between its factions.

I only have the sisters of twilight DLC for wood elves, but Drycha is always such an immense pain to fight in the early game as any of the neighboring factions that I'm tempted to buy the old WE DLC just to inflict some of that pain back on the AI

In fact I’m not getting any way to spend my prestige, I have 23,000 prestige now lol. I managed to get one of my electors to give up a minor city with obscene amounts of gold, and that somehow seemed to make it all come unstuck and electoral events started happening again. ymmv

Bretonnia is fun for a bit but they're so micro intensive that I always retire their campaigns way earlier than I do other factions Repanse has a fun campaign in tw2, but i imagine she gets stomped in the new IE hellpit, though I could be wrong

Hopefully CA are going wild on making up new units. I suspect it'll be like dwarfs but more monstrous units in the roster, a unique lore of magic and a smattering of orc and goblin auxillaries for some non-dwarfy flavour. maybe toss in a hobgoblin or something, maybe do some variety of DE slavery mechanics Ravenfood posted:At 1:05 on the trailer, there is an elf on the left with some elaborate red armor and helmet.

When you use one of those mods that change spawn location, what happens to your original spawn? Does it turn into a ruined settlement or does some new faction get it?

Maybe to an extent, but I suspect that the blood which flows in an active act of worship to khorne, gives the blood god a whole lot more juice than a random act of violence or workplace accident. For an ork, krumpin is just their nine to five, and they love their job

According to legend of total war (grain of salt, obviously), they still have half a dozen DLCs planned, and Sega is supposedly breathing down their neck to focus exclusively on total war after the Hyenas debacle If CA survives long enough, all hopes are probably pinned on Total War: 40k doing well

On the flip side, age of sigmar has zero cultural penetration and they'd have to work a lot harder to get people through the door, even if the game would probably be easier to make I don't know if CA is actually up to the task of making a good 40k: total war, but enough people would probably still pick it up on brand recognition alone

If they actually wanted people to buy a historical title, they should have just made another medieval game  But in seriousness, I don't think Troy, Brittania and Pharaoh sold poorly because they were historically themed, but because they were half-baked budget entries. Pharaoh especially is weird; a full priced game no-one asked for, set in an impressively niche setting, poorly made. How did they expect to make money on this thing? I would just love to read a post mortem on it. If they wrote one themselves and put it out for sale, it'd probably outsell the game

Cythereal posted:I watched an LP of it by one of the Total Warhammer streamers I love, and the whole game very much feels like it's made for existing fans of AoS. Every unit is constantly referred to in their full name as Stormcast Adjudicator Hunters with Fuckyourmom Bows or whatever the hell, no one ever tells you what anything even *is* in terms that someone unfamiliar with AoS would understand, and the story drops you straight into the middle of anything without telling you what anything is, where they are, what they're fighting for, or who they're fighting against. All I wanted from Frontier was the ability to walk around in my little spaceship and instead they made that turd
