>because there was no Gyrocopter mount in the 8th edition rulebook.
didn't exactly stop them from making 2 entire factions from thin air.
Because this time GW is being a b***h on purpose.
The marketing team that makes this decision is aligned with the internal GW faction that makes Age of Sigmar and 40k.
Forgeworld projects like 30k and Old World are to be kept separated, maybe even isolated, and perhaps even sabotaged, so that the "main Citadel team" looks better in comparison and gets a bigger slice of the GW budget pie.
The internal conflict is in full swing now that the Old World is booming.
If that's the reason I legitimately feel sorry for CA.
Their frick ups are their own, of course, but even when they're trying to do better and fix it they get little shit like this fricking them up. GW is honestly just a dreadful company and it would be better for everyone if the Warhammer IP just entered public domain. As bad as things would get with everyone being able to make up shit for the setting, at least GW wouldn't be around to stop good things either.
GW is run by incompetent old business practices which try to make their internal divisions compete with one another to secure funding. In order to better facilitate this each division has only basic amounts of record keeping, always tying back to 'More sales = Division is popular' without bothering to check where ans why those sales are made.
Horus Heresy legitimately should not exist, nobody plays it, but the books sold like hotcakes to morons. The models barely sell sell and almosr always are used as kitbash fodder or proxies for Marine factions, but GW still pushes out HH models with just as much focus as their other lines.
The entire reason Kislev and Cathay are in W3 at all is because GW wanted to gauge interest in them as factions in TOW. Chorfs should feel lucky because they managed to sneak in while GW was bisy coordinating things as they're slated to become an AoS faction, which in turn means Chorfs won't get any further updates.
>4. The unit design principle is fun first, balance second.
Oh really? Because I'm getting the feeling that it's GW mandate based on boardgame/rulebook-relevance first and the rest afterwards
The game looks the same as always. I recently replayed wh2 and the game is just better. The units behave more fluid, the AI actually tries to fight and not run away and sieges are better despite being less of it.
The new DLC does not fix anything except make Nurgle less ass to play. The empire rework does not fix Karl Franz's insane campaign except put a LL next to him that is better to play.
I have no idea what CA is smoking, but atleast Dorfs look better.
>The empire rework does not fix Karl Franz's insane campaign
anon... he starts with helmgart, gets no trespass penalty and the imperial authority rework allows you to take your time.
did they say how they're going to rework the empire
i just feel they have a ton of shit to deal with early game like god damn, I'm just 10 turns in and 70% of the electoral counts have fricking died due to how aggressive the AI is and I don't have a way to help them
That's 6 settlements lost out of the total in the empire, which is 12 points overall in the new imperial authority bar.
Compared to before where -2 to your authority would put you in ridiculous penalties, -12 now is not that much. Don't think it's even enough to cost you a single tier in the new system.

Turns out they released Pharaoh Total war and I hadn't even heard of it. CA is fricking doomed it seems, gonna avoid this one because of predatory DLC practices
how so if they have double missile strength over handgunners and a passive that gives them more reload speed and accuracy if I may ask?

They have double the missile strength, far faster fire rate, better AP, more accuracy, in exchange for 30% unit size. Their damage output shits all over handgunners, especially against characters on foot
simply by having more models. you'll see.

they were supposed to have repeater rifles. GW forced them to remove it and that's why they performance is lackluster now.

Frick TWW3, I'm going back to 2.
Summary of QnA:
>1. Toad Dragon mount can only be used by Tamurkhan.
>2. The reason the Gyrocopter mount was not added to the Dwarf Engineer hero is because there was no Gyrocopter mount in the 8th edition rulebook.
>3. GW's approval is required to add items that are not in the original work.
>4. The unit design principle is fun first, balance second.
>5. There is no roadmap immediately after the release of Thrones of Decay.(This means that the roadmap will not be released with the release.)
>6. There are no plans to add any other separate/unit formations.
>7. In Immortal Empire Campaign, Epidemius is close to Tamurkhan. if players are excluded, Epidemius will go somewhere else. The same goes for Gelt
>8. Nurgle and especially Epidemius do not get along with the skaven and their misuse of plagues.
Oh hey I just realized I can bully Epidermis and confed him maybe as Wormtown.
>that third point
Ironside debacle confirmed GW frickery

Thanks, took a glance and it looks pretty good. Prestige actually being used for other shit is really nice too.
Okay, festus murders Hochland at turn 3 and beastmemes murder toddy at turn 4. What now?
go beat their asses/send aid with the new emperors decree/simply don't care
Go auto resolve both of them and give the towns back to their respective electors. You are now at turn 6 and everything is fine.

>fantashit
retvrn to sovl
no one buys history TWs
I'd buy Medieval 3
its not here yet
ill see the reviews first. You greedy c**ts love to frick it all up and make us pay for it
it's 8.5/10
says who?
legend
something doesnt add up. how did he even get access if he isn't part of the partner program?
meme
legend rated the abysmal launch version of wh3 8.5/10 because he's a dishonest homosexual whos job security depends on the state of the game
well maybe he shouldn't have pissed off the company who makes the games on which his entire career depends on.
my legend lore is rusty but I think him pissing of off the company came after he turned a 180 and started ranting and shitting on the game non-stop
>Legend
fricking lmao dude. This guy lives or dies depending on this game. I dont care about his biased opinion.
Just make medieval 3 or shogun 3 famalam
THE SLOP IS SERVED GOYHAMMER BROS EAT UP
Turns out they released Pharaoh Total war and I hadn't even heard of it. CA is fricking doomed it seems, gonna avoid this one because of predatory DLC practices
>Every Imperial Lord now has unique mechanics
>New mechanics for Dwarves
>Nurgle is now fun
BASED
That was before they cancelled Hyenas
Judging by the latest updates, they're on the path of redemption
All the meat of the next update is free
>no body snatching
Didin't bother with this one and stuck to 2 since the launch looked like a dumpster fire, did it get better?
Are lizardmen good in 3?
Lizardmen are basically complete in 3 and very functional
Can thoroughly recommend Nakai's campaign in Immortal Empires
Is nakai fixed?
I'm not lizardman player but there was quite a lot of hype around him
So that's probably yes? I have no idea
Yes, he's one of the best Lizardmen LLs now
Don't listen to him Nakai is dogshit
They got small rework
nuln Ironsides are lame af. they don't fill any necessary niche in the empire army.
>armored
>decent melee stats
>30 less models but twice the firepower
>tier 3
handgunners are a thing of the past.
I forgot
>better accuracy and reload speed
waste of slot when handgunners are cheaper and more hardhitting (the damage output of Ironsides isn't worth shit)
>more hardhitting
I don't think you know what that word means
an ironsides volley slaps like a wet noodle in comparison to handgunners.
how so if they have double missile strength over handgunners and a passive that gives them more reload speed and accuracy if I may ask?
simply by having more models. you'll see.

You realize this was where the frick up started yeah?
Giving mages to the AI is a recipe for disaster, same with artillery.
