How is it so hard to understand that there's renewed interest during a new patch season. It's not like there's a ton of threads about it anyways, let people talk about the game
Why aint that pack up on steam then? Maybe they just have some problems with steam or something. But if you are right then that is a good change, buying a pack with 66% of the content you won't ever play is kinda meh.
the whole DLC costs 23€. the seperate packs are for people who only like to play as one or two of the factions.
Why aint that pack up on steam then? Maybe they just have some problems with steam or something. But if you are right then that is a good change, buying a pack with 66% of the content you won't ever play is kinda meh.
Packs are all 8,99 but if you buy one, you later get a 15% discount on the other two (which we don't know if that's in perpetuity so keep that in mind)
Alternatively there's the bundle for 22,99€ though that's likely a sort of "pre-order" thing like they do everytime.
Ultimately it's 25€ like SoC and Chorfs. Price wise things haven't improved, they've just improved content wise and the fact you can choose which parts you want,.
What? Sure, its just their own arty and flying machines. Which is still amazing artillery counter options only really getting shafted against skaven that just have better art.
Don't think so CA. You can go frick yourself. Because I'm a drooling fricking moron I bought literally every DLC for warhammer 1, 2 and 3 untill they pulled the fricking chorf shit. I bought that one and dropped the game. They got greedy beyond belief. Starting to charge full game price for DLC with less effort than ever before. It became clear that WH3 was a cash cow for their other projects where the focus was aimed at.
Well congratz CA, you managed to kill your cash cow. Now deal with it.
Chorfs was ok. It was however the most expensive DLC with the most reskins. Not only was more than half of the roster reskins, even parts of their map mechanics were just reskins from beastmen and trade from the chinese.
If it were the same price as previous DLCs, sure, but not at that pricepoint.
>muh reskins
Meme word and meme argument.
Almost every single unit in the game since WH1 has been using the same base skelletons and animations. Arguing based on "reskins" means no DLC has had any value since arguably Tomb Kings and even then, only the constructs would have been new frames.
Heck >more than half the roster was reskins
Not a single unit in the chorf roster, with the potential exception of bull centaurs, k'dai fireborn and the destroyer, are using new skelletons/frames. They all use others.
Animations are all mostly new though.
The fact that you have to meme and deflect with a tangent should say a lot. >muh skeletons >muh animations
Yea, when the only thing changed is the colour scheme on a unit, the head on others, or the weapon in some, then its a reskin. Using the same skeleton, whatever.
But cutting as many corners as they did in chorf dlc AND demanding a premium price for it is moronic. You can't have it both ways.
>you have to meme
I'm not the one meme'ing here. You're the one that's using a shitty argument that might as well be a meme.
What I'm explaining to you is that almost EVERY unit in EVERY DLC is a reskin. They reuse frames all the time. That's not a metric by which you can judge the quality of a Total War DLC. It's never been the case and will never be the case because the reusage of base skelletons is not a bad thing in of itself.
And the remaining assets for the units are all extremely high quality and well made. Every chorf unit is great with the arguably exception of the two slave units.
You do have a point that they increased the price, but your metric by which you judge the value of the DLC is moronic.
how the frick would you make chorfs not "reskins" of dwarves
even if they made them from the ground up they'd look and move similarly to regular dwarves
Might as well fill out the rest of the map. vampire Coast turned a background faction into a full one with lore and shit. So naturallry people hope CW eventually touches Arabay, Ind, Kuresh, and Nippon.
obviously ca will patch this out.
you can count on ca that they remove fun stuff very fast. meanwhile annoying shit like the blur affects on units, stays for 2 years in the fricking game.
The entire Total War formula is AIDS. Game basically begs you to cheese it and actual combined arms with balanced armies gets completely thrown out the window 100 turns in because the game is about doomstacks. Once you've solved all the earlygame headaches the campaign is basically over and the rest of the game is going through the motions.
You play with doomstacks because you want to
Combined arms is viable.
Especially in WH3 where the AI is pretty weak at building a lot of stacks. You'll have most fight 2 armies, maybe 3.

Imagine having to record those battles.

How the frick could they show any fighting. Take any 2 regular infantry units in a siege map, and click them anywhere diagonally on the map so they would have to walk trough the city. They will bunch up and get stuck on the first corner.
Did they frick up the maps for random battles in WH3? EVERY fight no matter where on the map is some kind of very open map with lots of forest.
There is no other kind of map for me. No map with distinctive hills, no maps with actual chokepoints, always "hilly" open with lots of trees.
Fun chokepoint attacks or defenses like in Rome 1/2 are not possible anymore (never encountered one)
WH1 and WH2 maps were for the most part pretty meh.
WH3 maps are fun. Try playing in Cathay and you'll get a few fun ones. Mountains of Morn/Darklands also have a lot of good maps.
The worst map selection for me is Ulthuan >Just non stop forests >in the area where the majority of factions you'll play will be heavy ranged
It's like they want you to hate elves.
the wh games pull the battle maps from a pool of pre built maps instead of generating a map from the terrain on the local campaign map. one of my biggest gripes with the series
Shame I won't be playing any of these factions till they get nerfed ahead of the next DLC. I hate how much they powercreep initial DLC launches to sell it.
>Anons excited for DLC >It comes out >Bugs out the ass, bizarre numbers on new things >Baffling decisions >New stuff is comically overpowered or comically shit with no in between
Yup, its time for a new update
Because theres a difference.
hag was stupid because the new units she added were so much stronger than all existing kislev units despite them being T1-2 you had no reason to ever build anything else.
Chaos Dwarves got nerfed into the ground into being worthless when they were a funny melee grinder before
>Chaos Dwarves got nerfed into the ground into being worthless when they were a funny melee grinder before
I don't remember this happening. are you sure you didn't forget to take your meds?
What are you even talking about
Please point to the exact chorf nerfs you're talking about. The chorfs were hardly touched. Blunderbusses didn't get their missile strength touched. Dreadquakes were made less accurate but conversely deathshrieks were made more accurate. The only straight nerf to damage was the magma cannons which wasn't substancial, and the bull centaur renders which still are overpowered because that's due to their animations and models.
And no, the new Ostankya units aren't "so overpowered they overshadow everything else". Kislev warriors are indeed good early game but you should still phase them out for tzar guards and ice guards.
Ice worms are shit
Akshina were great yeah but they actually HAVE been hit with nerfs. They're still good though.

It's the little things sometimes. But I'll be enjoying my Malakai runs.
I think he'll probably get in, not as apart of a huge DLC but something like White Dwarf to bump the sales for a bit and tie in with their Skaven push this year in AoS.
AoS is probably why he won't be in, anon. Thanquol's an AoS character now, and GW is making very sure to split AoS and Fantasy now that Old World has reared its head.
>newbie doesn't even know how to search by image ID >MARKETING SHILL MARKETING SHILL MARKETING SHILL
People just wanna talk about TWWH3 without going to the fricking terrible general full of rat and lizard porn. It is almost as if Total War and Warhammer are decently popular. Not to mention CA is relevant because of the hole Hyena fiasco combined with how they fricked up the last DLC, were extremely greedy, and are now trying to win back the fan's good graces (by selling them more shit).
Supposedly, they're also messing about with their rate of fire and accuracy, so even without the gunnery school buffs, they might be better
Dorf cannons getting the same treatment.
>that'll be $9001+tip!
I hate this DLC bullshit, it's like i'm paying for advertisments.
I cannot get myself to give these gigajuden money, i refuse to play this shit. It's one of the few games i feel like i'm missing out of, i just cannot stand this level of israeliteing. I don't care what apologetic buckbroken fanboys say, there is no reason why games need this type of marketing/release model. Make proper games, with proper expansion packs.
Just use creamapi
Or heck, buy what you know you'll play with
I got WH1 on a sale nearly 6 years ago it must be now. Then WH2 was a Christmas gift like 3 years ago.
I just bought DLCs on sale and bit by bit. Never felt compelled to get the entire thing at once.
>no armored on-foot Empire Knight infantry >no unique LLs for every area of the Empire that incentivize confederating with them quicker >no Genevieve or Emmanuelle present on the battlefield
What exactly was won? Dwarf update is shit, Nurgle update is shit, Empire got the best of everything and it still fricking sucks.
Empire's new knights are designed for prolonged combat and have bonus vs infantry, that alone adds more diversity to empire cav. But yeah the dlc is not as amazing as some people are pretending it to be
It doesn't, you're right.
But I'm also going to play only the PRINCE AND EMPEROR.
As far as I'm concerned, I got new missiles including longrifles
I got steam tank variants
I got texture updates
It's good
You will seethe forever because you can't make a good formation and can't have your boys properly hold the line because they have no faith in such a weak willed homosexual.
Every time you spent money you're reinforcing the system that fuels every political, media, NGO, etc that pushes those values onto us.
If you actually cared, you would address the cause instead of the symptom, but that would take comittment and sacrifice.
i dont buy any media or gaems. i get them for free
the only thing i spend money on is my house and food which i try and buy locally and not from walmart
You are not an island, you are perpetuating their system by using their money, and you are actively ignoring their presense and blaming it on others like you who simply go along with it.
I like vidya because it's my one escape, so when i come here only to hear people complain about wokeshit that they'll never get rid of because of the first part of my post remains true, it's just annoying. This place used to actually talk about vidya, now it's just twitter threads in disguise.

Thats how it works... right? Right? I mean right? Thay have brains, right?
I'm not sure if they split profits or simply dev pays for a license upfront. Either way any profits from video games for GW are so tiny, they literally doesn't matter beyond being a free advertisements for their tabletop wargames.
I am pretty sure that pay a license for each game and DLC they produce, because the mentioned the reason for raising the price of the previous DLC was was licensing, so that implies that they have to pay the fee again for each DLC pack they make. Which really, GW is just as israeli as always because the best material Warhammer has gotten are the books and games. The tabletop sucks and is boring as shit. Meanwhile Dawn of War, Space Marine, Total Warhammer, Vermintide, Rogue Trader (kinda), Battlefleet Gothic, Necromunda (kinda), and Darktide (kinda) are all far superior and great. That is not counting all of the fantastic books too.
Freeman? The CA Steam Discussions manager?
Eh, who gives a shit about this homosexual.
I can only hope he'd have a melty like his former colleague so he'd get fired.
So are the old lords going to be left behind like what has happened in the past? I wish they'd just update older lords to make them not useless in comparison to the newer ones.
Gelt and Franz have entirely new mechanics that makes them feel like DLC lords now. This means every single base race lord like Tyrion/Teclis, Malekith/Morathi, and Queek/Skrolk now need full unique mechanics to not be left behind.
Oh shit that's nice, it always sucked to have some lords that are just objectively worse than other ones in the same faction.
>Update makes significant changes to some of the WH1 lords >Are the old lords going to be left behind?
Anon, you do not play enough factions if you can't understand what I'm talking about. There are lords who have gotten significant changes in the past that still put them well behind dlc lords who beat them at their own game when it isn't even their focus.
>gelt gets cataclysm spells now >best mage gets even better spells
Based. Now all they need to do is give Lizardmen a bone and I think all the older factions would be more caught up.

It's funny that I think this makes humans the strongest mages now, even more so then the factions where that's their schtick. What did they do with Karl? Does he get anything quite like that?
>and I think all the older factions would be more caught up
High Elves need a better court and politics system. Right now you can't use influence to actually do actions at court and trying to use it to make AI factions become friends or enemies is useless 99% of the time as they'll just ignore their relations and keep on doing what they're predetermined to do.
Malekith, Tyrion, Teclis, Mazdamundi, Kroq-Gar, and Queek are also basic as all frick with zero actual mechanics unique to them, they just play like any random generic minor faction lord would if you used a faction unlocker to play them.
Yeah, but I meant caught up as in "Can actually be decently fun to play as a faction." You're right about the elves though, I did forget about them because I hadn't played them since before the Warden and the Paunch dlc came out, where I played the high elves, then I think I played the kraken guy or Rakarth. Queek and Skrolk I think are fricked though, I don't see how they could or would give them something that would better than what Throt can do.

Supposedly a few characters are getting a new campaign quest.
It's a shame Empire still has shit-tier infantry. I wish they got a new elite tier of infantry instead of more cavalry. It is pathetic that their greatswords are as bad as they are.
Ain't no way I'm buying the DLC, but I'm very much looking forward to getting the Nemesis Crown and the Sword of Khaine as my waifu female Dreadlord and murderfricking the world.
Its going to be so Khaino.
if this game would be 70$ (no discounts) but include all dlc then would but
but right now with all dlc... there is so much other things to do /play that ill just wait another 3/5 years for pirated version
I only fricking care about the nurgle ogre guy whatever he is don't know him don't care but nurgle FRICKING SUCKS to play, and Chaos: Nurgle version is boring as shit so hopefully we get some cool nurgle mechanics that aren't intrinsically linked to the worst factions in the game to play.
They're reworking Nurgle a bit and the new units seem interesting but overall they still seem to have the same gimmick of slow moving, tanky blob army.
The FLC lord should have been Toddy. Would have filled out the Empire LL rooster and would have required infinitely less work for a faction that much more people play. No one gives a shit about Nurgle.
I did. I played a campaign as him with one of them vassal mods and its was pretty fun having a front line of Temple Guard or Kroxigors fighting against their own people for their new colonial overlords.
Not at all. The perfect FLC characters were the ones that actually required effort on CA's behalf, not a generic empire general with a headswap or blood dragon with a different hat.
Don't gotta like her, but she is a special snowflake that brings something totally different to the table. Meanwhile Toddy in indiscernible from a generic lord at a glance.
Yeah no shit, moron. Its almost like having him as a FLC lord would come with actual voice acting, mechanics and story for him.

Do you even play this game, dipshit?
They do all the time. WW1/Victoria was meant to release this year, but it's still too unfinished and so they pushed it behind TW:40K. 40K releases at the end of 2025/beginning 2026.
After something 1k hours across the three games I'm soooo fricking bored of the campaign map gameplay loop and always end up uninstalling an hour or two after i return every 4-ish months.
I really thought CA was going to give immortal empires the Paradox treatment with continual reworks of core mechanics to keep it fresh and generating sales for years and years. But instead they done absolutely nothing to the core mechanics and just keep releasing more assets. Doesn't helped that they've simultaneously killed overhaul mods which could have kept things interesting for 5-10 years on their own - which is atrocious on it's own, with the content already in the game at this point, we could've easily had overhaul mods for literally any fantasy IP you'd like.
Battles are still fun but the campaign map gameplay is so fricking boring at this point. I would have absolutely loved to play formats with a lot of smaller match-ups (like sub 10 v 10 army matches), better retreatment/defense mechanics to not make main-stack whipes game ending, focused campaigns with interesting match-ups (war of the beard, empire vs evil, humans v humans etc), or at the very least late-game gameplay (streamlining province management, cataclysm effects, summoning gods etc) - but nope were still just playing mortal empires with more empires.
they actually seem to care about the game again

Why are there three different packs in the store? Are they gonna drop every pack for 9.99 instead of a big pack?
the whole DLC costs 23€. the seperate packs are for people who only like to play as one or two of the factions.
Why aint that pack up on steam then? Maybe they just have some problems with steam or something. But if you are right then that is a good change, buying a pack with 66% of the content you won't ever play is kinda meh.
it's just CA and their release schedule. imagine the shitstorm if released it for 30 bucks.
Packs are all 8,99 but if you buy one, you later get a 15% discount on the other two (which we don't know if that's in perpetuity so keep that in mind)
Alternatively there's the bundle for 22,99€ though that's likely a sort of "pre-order" thing like they do everytime.
Ultimately it's 25€ like SoC and Chorfs. Price wise things haven't improved, they've just improved content wise and the fact you can choose which parts you want,.
I just hope they finish it quickly so we can pass to WW1 and 40K
>dwarfs can research a technology that allows unit to go into a shieldwall that even counter artillery shells
this is disgusting op
you posted the special shieldwall which one of the LLs unlocks. the regular shieldwall doesn't block artillery shells.
ohhh you're right, was checking again if this is true or not
That should help the manlets deal with skaven.
Considering that the only counter dorfs have to lots of arty is their own arty that isn't so bad.
What? Sure, its just their own arty and flying machines. Which is still amazing artillery counter options only really getting shafted against skaven that just have better art.
Lel, get fricked Chorfs, how’s the power creep treating you now?
dreadquake mortars don’t have the ‘can bounce’ property so doing that just obliterates the unit
every campaign gets boring after 20 turns.

You are just shit.

Feel free to go have a nice day, oh King of Hollow Titles.
I will now buy your dlc.
They didn't give her model boobs, only androgynous plate armour
Gimme a couple of weeks and I'll fix that.
dead game

>all the let's plays use siege battles which are objectively the worst part of the entire game
Bizarre.
Imagine having to record those battles.
Having to nab cool screenshots for the showcase and fight against the los issues and the pathfinding
>Come on guys, lets just do a field battle. We can get cool shots there
>No! Sieges! Sieges are good! Do the work wagie
>siege gameplay is always heavily edited and barely shows any fighting
curious
Alarielle was BUILT for N'kari's N'kock.
Hides the painfully stupid AI.
How the frick could they show any fighting. Take any 2 regular infantry units in a siege map, and click them anywhere diagonally on the map so they would have to walk trough the city. They will bunch up and get stuck on the first corner.
>we're fixing the pricing
>they actually just broke it up into separately purchased bits and it's still just as overpriced
Alright anons time to pick your poison.
Total War: Age of Sigmar, or Total War: 40k?
Already confirmed to be 40k sadly. I wish it was neither. Both are cancer.
Total War: Mario&Luigi
Did they frick up the maps for random battles in WH3? EVERY fight no matter where on the map is some kind of very open map with lots of forest.
There is no other kind of map for me. No map with distinctive hills, no maps with actual chokepoints, always "hilly" open with lots of trees.
Fun chokepoint attacks or defenses like in Rome 1/2 are not possible anymore (never encountered one)
WH1 and WH2 maps were for the most part pretty meh.
WH3 maps are fun. Try playing in Cathay and you'll get a few fun ones. Mountains of Morn/Darklands also have a lot of good maps.
The worst map selection for me is Ulthuan
>Just non stop forests
>in the area where the majority of factions you'll play will be heavy ranged
It's like they want you to hate elves.
No, they're in the game but some are very rare. my biggest complaint with WH3 maps are the tree acne.
the wh games pull the battle maps from a pool of pre built maps instead of generating a map from the terrain on the local campaign map. one of my biggest gripes with the series
I actually got a map with good chokepoints yesterday fighting azhag as the dark elves, sadly it's pretty rare now
Shame I won't be playing any of these factions till they get nerfed ahead of the next DLC. I hate how much they powercreep initial DLC launches to sell it.
DLC looks much better than Shadows of Change but awful timing
Why? Cuz of Manor Dorks?
what makes total war games good?
High Elves DLC when?
>Anons excited for DLC
>It comes out
>Bugs out the ass, bizarre numbers on new things
>Baffling decisions
>New stuff is comically overpowered or comically shit with no in between
Yup, its time for a new update
Don't forget no rebalancing until after they've sold a lot
Dont worry a fun and powerful unit will get nerfed into the ground in a month by MP Black folk whining.
Just fix it. Modding values and even unit abilities is actually pretty easy. Most have stuff already up on the workshop fixing it, but still.
CA will nerf the strong units to shit for the sake of the five dudes that play MP
I feel bad for someone playing chaos dwarves now and not on release.
Chorfs barely got nerfed at all what are you talking about.
>noooo the new units are too strong!!1
>nooo CA hates fun!!!1
decide already
Because theres a difference.
hag was stupid because the new units she added were so much stronger than all existing kislev units despite them being T1-2 you had no reason to ever build anything else.
Chaos Dwarves got nerfed into the ground into being worthless when they were a funny melee grinder before
>Chaos Dwarves got nerfed into the ground into being worthless when they were a funny melee grinder before
I don't remember this happening. are you sure you didn't forget to take your meds?
What are you even talking about
Please point to the exact chorf nerfs you're talking about. The chorfs were hardly touched. Blunderbusses didn't get their missile strength touched. Dreadquakes were made less accurate but conversely deathshrieks were made more accurate. The only straight nerf to damage was the magma cannons which wasn't substancial, and the bull centaur renders which still are overpowered because that's due to their animations and models.
And no, the new Ostankya units aren't "so overpowered they overshadow everything else". Kislev warriors are indeed good early game but you should still phase them out for tzar guards and ice guards.
Ice worms are shit
Akshina were great yeah but they actually HAVE been hit with nerfs. They're still good though.
I hate how there's still a huge amount of unusable units due to their incomprehensible shit stats
>Be G&F fan.
>Happy Gotrek, Felix, Malakai and Ulrika got in.
>Know Thanquol will probably get in at some point.
>Realize Snorri and Max likely won't ever get in now because they don't have their own book series.
>Have to wait for mods for the whole gang.
It's the little things sometimes. But I'll be enjoying my Malakai runs.
>>Know Thanquol will probably get in at some point.
Potentially not, if GW meddles in things.
I think he'll probably get in, not as apart of a huge DLC but something like White Dwarf to bump the sales for a bit and tie in with their Skaven push this year in AoS.
AoS is probably why he won't be in, anon. Thanquol's an AoS character now, and GW is making very sure to split AoS and Fantasy now that Old World has reared its head.
Gotrek is also in AoS and he's getting even more content in the ToD update.
That's because in TWW you have Gotrek AND FELIX, whereas in AoS it's just Gotrek.
no, the only good news is when wh3 is denuvo-free
Postan in a marketing thread.
How do you search old threads with the same image again? Because this fricking thread is getting made DAILY and it's blatant
>newbie doesn't even know how to search by image ID
>MARKETING SHILL MARKETING SHILL MARKETING SHILL
People just wanna talk about TWWH3 without going to the fricking terrible general full of rat and lizard porn. It is almost as if Total War and Warhammer are decently popular. Not to mention CA is relevant because of the hole Hyena fiasco combined with how they fricked up the last DLC, were extremely greedy, and are now trying to win back the fan's good graces (by selling them more shit).
>People just wanna talk about TWWH3 without going to the fricking terrible general full of rat and lizard porn
this
>lizard porn
That's a falseflag by the ratgays
At this point given the state of the general I WISH the issue was ratgays.
Does actually show off the shieldbreaker abilities? Specifically them deflecting artillery?
>no Sayl the Faithless
>no body stealing
Are we getting Kurgans or they just didnt add him for some reason?
Norsca might be reworked into the Tribes of Chaos so who knows
>no Sayl the Faithless
He is a lord, so why would he be in ToD?
>Everyone says the games filled with bugs
>No bug faction
wtf
>he never played nurgle
Cathay's been in since launch, bro.
>great cannons finally viable
lesgooo
Supposedly, they're also messing about with their rate of fire and accuracy, so even without the gunnery school buffs, they might be better
Dorf cannons getting the same treatment.
I can finally play the Empire like a Fall of the Samurai army, just like Sigmar intended.
When's the full update with all the reworks releasing?
30th
This game costs like $300. It's a bit ridiculous.
funny because I got the base game + all DLC for 25 bucks
There's a frickton of DLC/lords you can perfectly do without.
does anyone play this on linux? does it work well?
>"We blew all our money on Join the -ACK!"
>"Please give us more!"
I must've missed something; why are people whining about flame cannons all of a sudden?
it's no longer a flaming ball that explodes on impact but a long range flamethrower. the arc and range are lower too.
Some people hate fun, I guess.
>that'll be $9001+tip!
I hate this DLC bullshit, it's like i'm paying for advertisments.
I cannot get myself to give these gigajuden money, i refuse to play this shit. It's one of the few games i feel like i'm missing out of, i just cannot stand this level of israeliteing. I don't care what apologetic buckbroken fanboys say, there is no reason why games need this type of marketing/release model. Make proper games, with proper expansion packs.
I'm mad, mad about vidya.
> It's one of the few games i feel like i'm missing out of
you know you can just use creamapi moron
Just use creamapi
Or heck, buy what you know you'll play with
I got WH1 on a sale nearly 6 years ago it must be now. Then WH2 was a Christmas gift like 3 years ago.
I just bought DLCs on sale and bit by bit. Never felt compelled to get the entire thing at once.
I bought most of the DLC but what is this "creamapi" thing? Is it just some unlocker?
Yes.
huh sick ill give it a look when this new one comes out then
first time browsing a tw warhammer thread?
No I am probably just moronic and didnt notice
it unlocks dlcs
i mean, its been out for 7 years
>no armored on-foot Empire Knight infantry
>no unique LLs for every area of the Empire that incentivize confederating with them quicker
>no Genevieve or Emmanuelle present on the battlefield
What exactly was won? Dwarf update is shit, Nurgle update is shit, Empire got the best of everything and it still fricking sucks.
Emannuelle isn't even remotely a battlefield leader
Empire's new knights are designed for prolonged combat and have bonus vs infantry, that alone adds more diversity to empire cav. But yeah the dlc is not as amazing as some people are pretending it to be
>EMPIRE NEEDS CHOSEN
>MUH RANDOM 5TH EDITION LORDS
>MUH RANDOM THOTS
Nah. You're a gay.
EMPIRE NEEDS ARTILLERY THAT SHOOTS PURPLE PISS AND PRODUCES GAMER RGB LIGHTS ON IMPACT
It doesn't, you're right.
But I'm also going to play only the PRINCE AND EMPEROR.
As far as I'm concerned, I got new missiles including longrifles
I got steam tank variants
I got texture updates
It's good
You will seethe forever because you can't make a good formation and can't have your boys properly hold the line because they have no faith in such a weak willed homosexual.
I am not the other anon, I was just making fun of le magic epic fx artillery.
I will be enjoying the new rifle and cavalry units
Radious shitter spotted
>He gives money to Games Workshop
lel
Every time you spent money you're reinforcing the system that fuels every political, media, NGO, etc that pushes those values onto us.
If you actually cared, you would address the cause instead of the symptom, but that would take comittment and sacrifice.
i dont buy any media or gaems. i get them for free
the only thing i spend money on is my house and food which i try and buy locally and not from walmart
You are not an island, you are perpetuating their system by using their money, and you are actively ignoring their presense and blaming it on others like you who simply go along with it.
I like vidya because it's my one escape, so when i come here only to hear people complain about wokeshit that they'll never get rid of because of the first part of my post remains true, it's just annoying. This place used to actually talk about vidya, now it's just twitter threads in disguise.
>This place used to actually talk about vidya, now it's just twitter threads in disguise.
feel free to start a discussion whenever you want -oh wait you're a hypocritic homosexual who is only here to complain...
>a tyranid that I painted using the trans pride flag colors
Lol
>Games Workshop gets money from people buying a good (yeah, yeah, I know) video game based around old Warhammer Fantasy
>People don't buy the new, woke, female custodes and AoS bullshit
>They realize that people want actual Warhammer content that is not pozzed and aimed at people who don't play the game
Thats how it works... right? Right? I mean right? Thay have brains, right?
I'm not sure if they split profits or simply dev pays for a license upfront. Either way any profits from video games for GW are so tiny, they literally doesn't matter beyond being a free advertisements for their tabletop wargames.
I am pretty sure that pay a license for each game and DLC they produce, because the mentioned the reason for raising the price of the previous DLC was was licensing, so that implies that they have to pay the fee again for each DLC pack they make. Which really, GW is just as israeli as always because the best material Warhammer has gotten are the books and games. The tabletop sucks and is boring as shit. Meanwhile Dawn of War, Space Marine, Total Warhammer, Vermintide, Rogue Trader (kinda), Battlefleet Gothic, Necromunda (kinda), and Darktide (kinda) are all far superior and great. That is not counting all of the fantastic books too.
AoS actually sells pretty alright.
As a nurgle simp, i'm very happy.
NEED high elf FEET
They've purged all their progressive hires?
no
Freeman? The CA Steam Discussions manager?
Eh, who gives a shit about this homosexual.
I can only hope he'd have a melty like his former colleague so he'd get fired.
Are they ever going to make the monogods not suck ass? The Chaos Warriors rework was so good that it accidentally made monogods completely pointless.
Khorne is the only monogod that sucks right now, at least in multiplayer
Khorne is such a shit faction it is unreal. Nearly all units are unusable.
Yeah, no magic, no projectiles, overpriced melee units. What are you even supposed to do as them. Only the demon dogs are good
Nothing, it is a bad faction. Their only saving grace is Skarbrand frickery in campaign.
Valkia is great.
Its great that all it took was a failed 100 million dollar game and gaslighting the community for them to remember we allow them to eat.
I liked 2 better gameplay wise, but 3 has god tier coom mods. Maybe I'll reinstall.
When will we get a game like Warhammer Online again? Nothing else Warhammer has ever seemed fun to me.
So are the old lords going to be left behind like what has happened in the past? I wish they'd just update older lords to make them not useless in comparison to the newer ones.
franz, gelt, dwarfs and plagues get a full rework. kugath has some skills changed.
is that good enough for you?
Oh shit that's nice, it always sucked to have some lords that are just objectively worse than other ones in the same faction.
Anon, you do not play enough factions if you can't understand what I'm talking about. There are lords who have gotten significant changes in the past that still put them well behind dlc lords who beat them at their own game when it isn't even their focus.
he's making fun of you for not knowing easily available information.
gelt gets cataclysm spells now
>gelt gets cataclysm spells now
>best mage gets even better spells
Based. Now all they need to do is give Lizardmen a bone and I think all the older factions would be more caught up.
>>gelt gets cataclysm spells now
oh that's not all he gets. he also has access to stalking stance and whatnot
In lore wouldn't the amount of magic being thrown around in that video open up a hole so big that tzeentch himself could come through?
Any lore regarding the chaos gods is always ignored in any warhammer media
It's funny that I think this makes humans the strongest mages now, even more so then the factions where that's their schtick. What did they do with Karl? Does he get anything quite like that?
Yeah, but I meant caught up as in "Can actually be decently fun to play as a faction." You're right about the elves though, I did forget about them because I hadn't played them since before the Warden and the Paunch dlc came out, where I played the high elves, then I think I played the kraken guy or Rakarth. Queek and Skrolk I think are fricked though, I don't see how they could or would give them something that would better than what Throt can do.
he gets a bunch of "imperial decrees" he can buy with prestige. similar to kairos's mechanic but less powerful like spawn an army for an empire faction, remove any corruption from a province etc.
also no trespass penalty with empire factions and summon the elector counts now teleports every count to you.
I think Karl's had some changes made to his skill tree, but I haven't seen any deep dives on it.
It's pretty basic.
One of his skills changed to buffing the state troops.
One of his skills became a junction of his buffs to greatswords and reiksguard
And another does something different
Here
This explains it and shows his skill tree (and Gelt's)
>Gelt can freeze an army for forty five seconds
The holy rape that’s about to be unleashed will be amazing to behold
>and I think all the older factions would be more caught up
High Elves need a better court and politics system. Right now you can't use influence to actually do actions at court and trying to use it to make AI factions become friends or enemies is useless 99% of the time as they'll just ignore their relations and keep on doing what they're predetermined to do.
Malekith, Tyrion, Teclis, Mazdamundi, Kroq-Gar, and Queek are also basic as all frick with zero actual mechanics unique to them, they just play like any random generic minor faction lord would if you used a faction unlocker to play them.
I hope the slaanesh dlc comes with a high and dark elves rework
Gelt and Franz have entirely new mechanics that makes them feel like DLC lords now. This means every single base race lord like Tyrion/Teclis, Malekith/Morathi, and Queek/Skrolk now need full unique mechanics to not be left behind.
>Update makes significant changes to some of the WH1 lords
>Are the old lords going to be left behind?
shills get the rope
frick off CA influencers
no one is actually excited for your overpriced garbage
buy an ad
So no new end times stuff? I was hoping for some putrid blightkings for the nurgle dlc.
Nurgle still has Glottkin for End Times stuff, if work continues on the game for that long.
GW is anal about using ET stuff since they consider ET and WHF two distinct licenses.
We might never ghet putrid blightkings
There's a mod called "legendary characters" that adds a frickton of legendary lords to various factions. One of them is Gutrot Spume and he can upgrade his chosen into putrid blightkings (they use the ogre bull skelleton)
>Imagine unironically shilling for CA
warhammerkeks are the epitome of battered wife syndrome
More like the epitome of beating our wives till the roast is properly moist.
female custodes existed for a 10000 year.
Wrong Warhammer and no they haven't.
Since the first of the ten thousand were created, there have always been female custodians.
-Warhammer Official
And any proof of this in any of the previous lore aside from this lazy retcon?
>I know more than the offcial IP holders !
it's over chud, the emperor of mankind is transexual.
“We have always been at war with Eastasia.”

>THIS BASED GIGA-CHAD ALCHEMIST DRAGON BESIDE ME IS MR. ZHAO MING
>WE'RE GOING TO FRICK UP THE FORCES OF CHAOS TOGETHER
>HE SAID HE'D SHOW ME HIS GUNS IF I SHOW HIM MINE
Supposedly a few characters are getting a new campaign quest.
It's a shame Empire still has shit-tier infantry. I wish they got a new elite tier of infantry instead of more cavalry. It is pathetic that their greatswords are as bad as they are.
>character known for being a body snatcher
>has no body snatching mechanic
Cringe but maybe mods will fix the dlc
Body snatching would be difficult to implement, conceptually.
You're charging me for this shit either way and it's supposed to be some gay ass redemption arc so at least put in some effort
Ain't no way I'm buying the DLC, but I'm very much looking forward to getting the Nemesis Crown and the Sword of Khaine as my waifu female Dreadlord and murderfricking the world.
Its going to be so Khaino.
if this game would be 70$ (no discounts) but include all dlc then would but
but right now with all dlc... there is so much other things to do /play that ill just wait another 3/5 years for pirated version
I only fricking care about the nurgle ogre guy whatever he is don't know him don't care but nurgle FRICKING SUCKS to play, and Chaos: Nurgle version is boring as shit so hopefully we get some cool nurgle mechanics that aren't intrinsically linked to the worst factions in the game to play.
They're reworking Nurgle a bit and the new units seem interesting but overall they still seem to have the same gimmick of slow moving, tanky blob army.
The FLC lord should have been Toddy. Would have filled out the Empire LL rooster and would have required infinitely less work for a faction that much more people play. No one gives a shit about Nurgle.
Empire is getting the 6th lord with this DLC. The only race that has more than 6 lords is the lizards
Nurgle would have 2.
>Empire is getting the 6th lord with this DLC
No, they're getting five. Franz, Gelt, Wolfheart, Volkmar and Pomni Von Draken.
Wolfheart doesn't count because nobody plays him
I did. I played a campaign as him with one of them vassal mods and its was pretty fun having a front line of Temple Guard or Kroxigors fighting against their own people for their new colonial overlords.
Ha no, miscounted, sorry.
I suppose you could have done Boris then.
Toddy is a boring meme character who starts 2 settlements away from Franz.
Perfect for a FLC character then. Same for Red Duke, too.
Not at all. The perfect FLC characters were the ones that actually required effort on CA's behalf, not a generic empire general with a headswap or blood dragon with a different hat.
>boring meme character who starts 2 settlements away from Franz
but enough about Elspeth
Don't gotta like her, but she is a special snowflake that brings something totally different to the table. Meanwhile Toddy in indiscernible from a generic lord at a glance.
Yeah no shit, moron. Its almost like having him as a FLC lord would come with actual voice acting, mechanics and story for him.
>actual voice acting
Didn't for the other LL who is also nothing more than a generic, Alberic.
>mechanics
FLC generally are less fleshed out, just look at Epedemius. It would just further exemplify him being the shittier Franz when he starts right next door.
>a story
Do you even play this game, dipshit?
yes goy consume dlc and get hyped for another dlc to consume
Can you play the Eye or The Old World campaigns yet?
There's an old world mod that is like 5x as large as the campaign from the original but nothing official.
This game is 10 years old
RELEASE A NEW GOD DAMN MAIN TOTAL WAR GAME ALREADY INSTEAD OF MILKING THIS CASH COW
They do all the time. WW1/Victoria was meant to release this year, but it's still too unfinished and so they pushed it behind TW:40K. 40K releases at the end of 2025/beginning 2026.
After something 1k hours across the three games I'm soooo fricking bored of the campaign map gameplay loop and always end up uninstalling an hour or two after i return every 4-ish months.
I really thought CA was going to give immortal empires the Paradox treatment with continual reworks of core mechanics to keep it fresh and generating sales for years and years. But instead they done absolutely nothing to the core mechanics and just keep releasing more assets. Doesn't helped that they've simultaneously killed overhaul mods which could have kept things interesting for 5-10 years on their own - which is atrocious on it's own, with the content already in the game at this point, we could've easily had overhaul mods for literally any fantasy IP you'd like.
Battles are still fun but the campaign map gameplay is so fricking boring at this point. I would have absolutely loved to play formats with a lot of smaller match-ups (like sub 10 v 10 army matches), better retreatment/defense mechanics to not make main-stack whipes game ending, focused campaigns with interesting match-ups (war of the beard, empire vs evil, humans v humans etc), or at the very least late-game gameplay (streamlining province management, cataclysm effects, summoning gods etc) - but nope were still just playing mortal empires with more empires.
Actually hyped.
Just hope the game keeps going for a couple more years.
I want Chorfs in AoS.
They need to expand dwarves in general there
Splitting them into two armies was stupid, which I suppose is to be expected with 1st Edition AoS.
Rework greenskins and add rotgut
