TIMESTAMPS IN DESCRIPTION I do not want to say "we're so back" until I see the player numbers tomorrow as ultimately YOU decide if we are or not. The patch is great, the DLC is full of stuff people actually wanted. It looks like Creative Assembly have seen after the last debacle that the PLAYERS decide what a game deserves and they will vote with their wallet. IF CA can keep giving us great updates and DLC like this then we're in for a good time. I HOPE things continue as expected so we can see the game we have invested so much time and money into finally fully realized and ALL our favorite characters, units and hopefully races can be implemented. Thank you everyone for the support for the last 2 weeks it has been wonderful. I will be live on twi- as thegreatbookofgrudges for a final stream before I take a day off to rest up after such a hectic embargo period. Pop by and hi and if not have a great day and I'll see you all again very soon!

sadly in terms of being back I'm not going to be able to afford the DLC until Wednesday... also... like...

If that way they can have scaling somewhat (if they just make it less insane scaling) and then you're almost always be able to hit the OK effect, but needs effort for the Good effect and great use for best effect.

It felt like a massively overconvoluted & underpowered clusterfuck. If you try him in co-op without knowing his kit in your sleep your co-op buddy will die of old age while you read skill tooltips on every level up & compare +3 leadership on a tuesday bodyparts after every other battle. If they want to stick with having his research in his skill tree, all of those 3 point skills need to become 1 point skills with the tier 3 buff at the very least. It's just dissapointing that he's supposed to be chaos undivided but barely buffs a very limited selection of units. His bodypart could prolly be trimmed massively. Most of that stuff is just bloat.

About the Age of Reckoning mechanic for the dwarves: ive heard a lot of people make the point that "you can get around it by not revealing the map so quickly". While true in a single player campaign, for someone like me who plays mostly co-op with a friend.... The way it works currently is a massive problem and is basicly going to mean that neither one of us can play dwarves until this issue is fixed...

@20storiesunder Месяц назад

Apparently CA is aware of it and a fix isn't far away. Maybe even for release.

@draconomega Месяц назад

@TuanHoang-zy7of Месяц назад

Balancing the multiplayer only require the adjustment of price of a unit in most case. For example, you don't need to nerf the actual power of Thunderbarge, let the people have fun with how overpowered it is, but increase its price in MP so substantially that it becomes a huge investment risk if it doesn't pay out. Multipalyer folks also tend to discover things that are actually broken, like the Beastman chariot or pump wagon collision mechanic, those are things definitely not intended by developer. As for minor stat adjustment, it doesn't make that much of a difference in campaign, a few + or - MA and MD not gonna change how campaign mechanic and lord buff make something powerful. So separate patch for MP and SP is unnecessary, I rather they spend that resource on dedicated sever so both MP player and coop player can benefit.

@snakeoo7ca Месяц назад

Have to disagree here about the game not needing to fit a lore narrative, with so much content as with a franchise like warhammer, lore/narrative is what is important to fans

@runeh3022 Месяц назад

- Malekith should have a Black Council type of mechanic. - Morathi needs the Cult of Pleasure to be properly represented and her magic specifically, but also dark magic to be more powerful. Make Arnzipal's Black Horror into an army-type utility spell perhaps. Makes zero sense that Elspeth, Gelt and others bring more magic to the table than her and her Coven. Her faction needs to feel like a cult, not as much a proper army. - Dark Elves also need a few legendary characters. Kouran and Shadowblade would be ideal for this. Tullaris could be a legendary lord or legendary hero really. Malekith could really do with Kouran as a Legendary hero from the start. - Feels like DE Cold Ones could use a bit of a speed boost across the board. - Teclis and High Magic could use a buff... Free Fireball almost seems like an insult tbh. Maybe something relating to the Tower of Hoeth in terms of buffs.

@OriginalRAB Месяц назад

Power/mechanic creep is as real as it is in the tabletop. There is ALWAYS going to be certain factions at the lower end of interesting. That being said I hope you get what interests you.

@ProduccionesPaquito Месяц назад

Game 2 factions are fine, but I'd love individual characters to get some extra mechanics that add flavor. Playing Malekith and Tyrion you feel like playing as the faction, not as the master of all druchii nor the genocide-happy hero of the asur. Plagues for Skrolk, begging here, literally begging...

@runeh3022 Месяц назад

@@OriginalRAB It wasn't really for the power of it tbh. :-) Well, perhaps Malekith could be a little better. More for immersion and replicability.

I like that you feel pressured from turn 1 and it never really let stops.

AI Franz definetly steamrolls more now and isn't as easily eaten up by Vlad. He is still very fun but the first thing you'll notice is the border fortresses bordering bretonnia and our vampire wizard boi. I've still had a lot of fun with him but his campaign definitely feels different and more empire focused now. The summon mechanic is so satisfying tho. Getting abused by Kazhrak or Fetus? Summon 7 stacks of roided nobles directly to the bronze fortress and you've got no problems anymore lol

I just want to add that while all this content looks amazing. We should be careful in saying that things are back on track. Remember that we were saying the same thing last year with Chaos Dwarfs, which were also an amazing addition, probably my favorite and most well thought out race in the whole franchise. And then afterwards SoC happened... The important thing for CA to understand is to keep up this consistency in quality and fairly priced amount of content going forward. Which, you do mention in the video, but I just wanted to stress it even further, consistency is the key, community cannot allow itself to relax in expecting a standard from CA, because it is obvious that CA can do it. Anyway, great and enjoyable review, as well as all the preview stuff you did. Thank you for all that, and keep up the amazing work!

Really solid DLC, glad to see them getting back on track again. Don't understand the ire towards the multiplayer scene really; it feels really misdirected. Seems pretty obvious that CA have been [seemingly] focused more on that end bc that end requires less work; it's a lot of tinkering with the numbers and tweaking what's already there, instead of expanding the game in a meaningful way. Either way, MP guys seem to have a lot to like in this pack too. Lots of additions for everyone to enjoy. Makes me excited to see more WH3 again after being kinda burned out on it. I hope to see Azhag and Grimgor get something cool like Gelt and Franz. Skarsnik and Belegar at least have their unique campaign goals and stuff even if it could be improved, but IMO the first priority should be the original 2 lords for each WH1/WH2 race (assuming they don't already have unique campaigns like Manfred or Kemmler now do). Give Azhag, Grimgor, Teclis, Tyrion, Skrolk, Queek and Mazda/Kroq-gar something cool and we'd be in a pretty good place.

Thank you for all these great videos. Its been a highlight for me each day to look forward to each one you put out bringing out the excitement for the game. I totally agree with you on the multiplayer part, and really hope to not see any bugs. Though I'm a huge advocate for more narrative/game mechanics! Keep up the good work!

I will never support pre orders. I think the practice has been horrible for the game industry as it has moved from being treated as investments by potential customers in a product to being treated as a forwarded loan to use however the company wants. The whole exercise of pre orders should be abolished.

The only idea i have to limit the Dwarf Grudge problem is that instead of calulating the next amount based on all the grudges you can see it instead has an upper limmit that is linked to the ammount of settlements and Characters you have on the map. It would also kind of fit thematically the more dwarfs you controll the more grudges they want you to settle. Maybe let it have a base count of idk 2000 and then add 400 per majour settlement and 200 per minor settlement (so around 1k per region, on average) + 500 per Legenday Lord and 250 per generic Lord (the people have expectations of their champions). The problem with that could be that people feel punished for playing well so maybe add to the Legenday grudges a -10% Grudges required reward so that it represents your people being happy and more content with your rule.

Grudges, here, was just on my periphery of experience. Recently, the magnificence of the single player, around the world, experience has really caught my attention, and Grudges content (and, the other single player guys) has moved to the fore. ...

Honestly, the Thinderbarge needs a bit of a tweak in Singleplayer, too. I am NOT looking forward to facing four of those things come the “A Grudge too Far” event, and 2/3rds of my bullets ‘missing’ because the gasbag on the Thunderbarg isn’t part of the hitbox. The bombs should probably be a limited-use ability as well, just to give the player something more to micro. Ideally, a 1 or 2-use unitbuster.

They should also have unit caps like the Dread Saurians if they don't already.

@@benderbendingrodriguez6375 why unit cap them? They cost huge amounts of upkeep and in single player I want a doom stack with them. Capping them will only reduce variety of gameplay for me.personally.

@benderbendingrodriguez6375 Месяц назад

@@PuddingXXL You could still do that it would just take a long time and you would need to work for it by getting a bunch of tier 5 buildings. Maybe also have some skills for increasing it like with Tomb Kings. Fighting just one of them especially as a faction not equipped to deal with them like Slaanesh or Beastmen is gonna be painful enough. Fighting several is gonna be a nightmare. Again if Dread Saurians have a unit cap then I don't see why they shouldn't.

@CrippleX Месяц назад

People who have purchased the DLC are reporting that none of the non-Lord, non-Hero units added by the DLC have unique voicelines and instead simply reuse lines from other units. I didn't hear anything about this in your review. Can you confirm whether this is a bug or if those units do, indeed, reuse voice lines from other units? If it is a bug, I hope it is patched quickly. If they are using recycled voice lines, I feel like this should have been given a decent bit of attention in your review as the inclusion of these lines is HUGE for immersion and from a professional production value standpoint. It's this level of production and added immersion that makes the difference between a DLC you want to pay for and a free mod from the workshop. It matters. You say in your review that you want consumers to make an informed decision, but not covering an omission of this size isn't giving your audience a chance to be properly informed. Leaving out voice lines is leaving out half of what you pay for when you buy DLC units. I really hope this is a bug. I wanted Thrones of Decay to do well. I really liked what I saw up until I heard about the voice lines. It was going to be an auto purchase for me, but cutting corners by leaving out voice lines shows me that CA will be back to Shadows of Change level disrespect for their customers as soon as they can get away with it.

@gnth9552 Месяц назад

Skrolk must be my most played faction before the patch. Haven't played him since the plague changes and it must have been a noticeable nerf to him, but I still like him for how vanilla he is. - Discount on thematic buildings - Upkeep reduction for thematic units - Your plagues deal attrition, i.e. damage. Even your plague spell in combat is just area damage. Not that the buffs/debuffs aren't nice, but Nurgle already has plenty of that especially since the update. I would love to keep him as a faction that just deals damage with plagues. Additional effects shouldn't be built into his plagues, but instead be options that you can unlock in the plague buildings (including the infinite plague undercity building) if you'd like to trade in damage potential for them.

@WolfmanluPurpleclaw Месяц назад

Great review, glad you still give people a reminder of SoC that is needed since people seem to have the memory of goldfishes at times. This is the work the game has needed since its release, the patch in itself, the FLC is just looking so good without making things extreme or absolutely breaking things apart. The DLC looks amazing, I myself don't care much for playing the dwarfs but I will for sure play Nuln right away since I have wanted to play them since the first game and following suit is Tahmurkhan. The DLC in itself gets way more value thanks to the reworks and the new factions working with these mechanics and just being overall unique and FUN. Overall this was the last chance for the game in my eyes, after everything I could see that SEGA was so ready to abandon this game and some parts of CA too, but these devs have come through and delivered something great and it might just be what they need to stay afloat and give this game the much needed love and hard work it deserves. Here's to a better future, Cheers!

@fartz3808 Месяц назад

25:00 These 'starter location choices' like Gelt can also help make the world a bit more immersive with less AI-controlled Legendary Lords starting in random spots on the worldmap. There should be a difference between AI Legendary Lord locations (they should be put in their own cultural-zone of the map) and one for Player Campaign start locations. (Those can remain as they are) Because the whole motivation for Certain Lords ending up in Lustria or Cathay or w/e is a diverse campaign experience. You can also have both? When I play as Tyrion I want to be able to recruit other Legendary Lords but most of them are too far away.

This DLC being good it seems really makes me excited for a good Slaanesh dlc to come. Playing a N’Kari campaign now and having a lot of fun with the mechanics once I figured out the ideal play-style for this faction. I just wish Slaanesh had A) more units and B) more unit variety. I understand that CA is limited by GW and the lore, but with the Old World coming out I can’t imagine a better time for GW to actually create some new demonic units. I feel like from watching your previous videos on the subject that any 5 units added for Slaanesh would be limited; therefore, I feel like GW and CA for a Slaanesh dlc should get together to add the limited remaining units plus create or envision a new unit or two for Slaanesh that never had a tabletop model.
