Thread 712887261

Mighty and Powerful Dwarf here, fuelled by the power of chaos, hatred and big hat.
Oh yeah, patch out today that might make AI in campaigns act smarter.

Astragoth Hula Hop!

>>712887261 (OP)
Looking forward to the new items. Fellblade and Other Tricker’s Shard sounds busted as fuck

>By the time you do get dreadquakes, your established armies are already string enough to tackle any enemy and dreadquakes aren't really worth disbanding your units and wait 3 turns to recruit.
Man...

They'd better have fixed the Beastmen settlement icon bug FUCK

Reworked Norsca will be the star attraction of Tides of Torment.

Releases December if WE'RE LUCKY

>>712889053
Tail end of August most likely. December is when they're doing their Total War presentation or something where they'll announce the new games.

So how sure are people that the 3rd race are the high elves? Was there leaked in game files showing them?

>Introduce physical/magic resistance
>Magic weapons are a benefit against phys res but worse against magic res
>Ward save protects from everything
>Magic resistance reworked into spell resistance meaning magic weapons are a pure benefit and anything but ward save is practically useless
>Other Trickster's Shard can now reduce ward save
What will be next in the resistance arms race? Super Ward Save that can't be reduced by any means?

>>712889551
DLC is called "Tides of Torment" but has no naval theming yet, Aislinn is a HE admiral mostly associated with raiding Norscans, HE have thematic rivalry with Slaanesh, and the Merwyrm got a new model recently. I don't think it's been confirmed by store descriptions or anything, and CA have surprised us before, but it's the clear front runner right now.

>>712890605
Doubt it will be HE. If we look at the colors of the mists, we got Norsca to the left (it’s the same color of the mists when Nightmaw emerged) and Slaanesh in the middle. This leaves only the black mist as a hint to the 3rd lord, which does not fit at all with Aislinn or the HE in general

>>712891839
That is though if we are to assume that the black isn't their way of hiding the faction until it's reveal and once it is the background updates with a fitting colour. But yeah, it's all just speculation right now.

>>712888236
This is the reason I love the mod that gives everyone the chaos warband upgrade system. I don't know if it works for Chaos Dwarfs, never played them, but being able to upgrade T1 shitters into decent stuff without running back to the capital or waiting half a dozen turns in global recruitment is a huge quality of life upgrade.

With Dechala they got themselves a model rig for Snakemen of Khuresh.

>>712895026
They already had that with the sepulchre stalkers

>>712895026
>that legs
What she can go two legged mode or something?

update is out
>55gb

>>712895535
They grow out the end of her snake tail and she's like one of those car dealer flailing tube guys.

>>712888552
How will they nerf Norsca this time?

Reminder that Norsca is bugged ever since launch:
it doesn't have the "replenish troops" post-battle option, which was present in previous games and which it should have.

>>712895026
>six pits
imagine the smell

>>712896119
More monster hunts that will potentially bug out and ruin your experience

>>712896119
Things that are changing include the monster hunts, the dedication to the four gods and both Wulfrik and Throgg are supposedly getting their own unique campaign mechanics (Wulfrik will apparantly make use of his ship Seafang to hop around ports in the map or something)

>>712898645
Wasn’t Throgg gonna get new voicelines as well?

>>712891839
Yin-Yin the Sea Dragon

>New patch
how badly will mods be broken

>>712901553
In that case I am grateful that I can buy the lords separate

>>712901820
What are you implying?

>>712901932
nobody likes Cathay

>>712888236
>>712892726
Just create a new partial army with the units you want reinforce the exist army and swap units between them.

>>712887261 (OP)
he has no reach

>>712887261 (OP)
woke design

>>712901932
everybody likes Cathay

>>712901932
I don’t like Cathay. Especially not their LLs

For some reason i feel like the lack of any leaks or anyone blabbing about their new game before the announcement makes me think 40k actually wasnt chosen because there would be extra motivation to find that shit out

>>712899746
Yes.

Sweet Jesus

>>712899746
Throgg and Wulfrik will apparantly get new voice lines.

>>712905569
There's already a Throgg voice rework mod that's pretty awesome

Also I thought we were going to get some HE stuff

>>712905158
>Khorne books
>gives spell intensity
???

>>712905158
20% ward save is really good, -100% upkeep for the main army is kinda not that big of a deal by turn 100, and spell intensity is really really strong if you don't have any other way of getting it. That being said, it is NOT worth the hassle.

>>712905158
I expected more to be honest

>>712906707
Yeah, considering all the negative parts this is definitely more of a meme item than even the Sword of Khaine. You only really try to get this if you've done everything you wanted to do and just want a laugh.

>>712905158
>Sword of Khaine at home
Why does Khorne give 100% spell intensity, he hates magic.

>>712906707
It is kinda neat that all their LLs negative aspects goes away after acquiring the reward but without knowing how long it will take to actually get all books, it might not be worth it. Rampage alone is already a mayor turnoff

>>712905158
Why is the trait for destroying the books way better than the trait for keeping them

>>712905685
>ia slop

>>712905158
too gimmicky

>>712901659
I'll update mine today if I need to, don't worry friend. Might not need to since it barley changes anything.

>>712906946
It's useless by anyone in any faction including spell casting lords .

>>712910858
Sorry I meant it is usable, not useless.

>>712905158
>everybody will declare war on you on sight and every province will rebel every two turns
>also every single enemy you ever fight will be unbreakable while your lord will rush into the enemy lines out of your control
>your reward for dealing with this through to the end is... two armies' worth of supply lines reduction
This has to be a joke.

>>712911423
It's not as bad as you're thinking. You can quite easily do three battles in one turn cycle with a lord (attack an army, attack it again after it retreats, then attack a settlement) giving you three chances to roll the next tier. Then you can unequip it the following turn and let your empire rebalance for a few turns before trying again. Finishing the full set of books by turn 10 is obviously going to be miserable but taking it slow and doing it by like turn 40-50 depending on when the first book drops sounds very reasonable.

>>712890605
One of the Bvllgaryans said that they're not doing lords with no TT model any more and Aislinn has no model

>>712901553
Yin-Yin soon surely

>>712907209
Yeah but that slop actually got more effort and soul than the base game half the time. At least the modder didn't use the same three voice clips recycled from a 2008 Nokia ringtone like CA does.
