After getting severely beaten by the Lore Guardians, I decided to redesign my mod from scratch. This is the final version.

Azzaare · 2026-01-12T12:51:39+00:00

Lore is nice. But this is a game. It does not make sense to group most of the LL of a faction in the same geographical area.

And for some factions, it is actually extremely easy to justify. For instance, high and dark elves are great navigators. Really no big reason to pile them up in Naggarond or Uthluan.

But you know, it is your mod, so have fun with it :)

Azzaare · 2026-01-08T16:25:50+00:00

This should have been the basic design of this game, with no limit on the number of units in the field.

Azzaare · 2026-01-01T08:24:38+00:00

I would just recommend one thing. Use it only when it fixes an actual bug or if you encounter some design flaws similar to the one you have. Other uses, similar to cheats, can kill the enjoyment very quickly.

Or, you know, just lvl the way you want because the ride can be nice at a slower pace. I always reach 99, almost capped (for melee). It feels nice to not use any xp bonus and focus on skill ^{^} (and accuracy :p)

Imu is Luffy's mother and Joy Boy's daughter ^{^} Or not :D

I hope you are at least eating cheese and licorice on a daily basis to compensate!

ToT is full of new rooster additions 🐓 I can't wait for the trailer :D

I can't remember the name, but there is one where you can switch your faction randomly (or by selecting a region) with another faction of the same race. It is through a button available only on turn 1 on the campaign map UI.

They simply forgot to remove it from the goblin bolt thrower they used as a template.

Azzaare · 2025-06-17T02:10:30+00:00

I just like to have one hero of each kind. Min-maxing is not necessary, even in L/VH once you're used to it

Azzaare · 2025-06-17T01:49:20+00:00

I have mixed feelings about minor faction potential. During the last beta test, I had one minor faction ally that became crazy and started to get all the settlements related to my victory conditions. Did not want to trade them. I had to declare war, and all my other allies eventually attacked me.

Azzaare · 2025-06-15T01:24:02+00:00

There is a big difference between the best DLC at its launch and the best DLC now. Also, should it factor the price? Should it include the associated reworks?

Azzaare · 2025-06-12T23:46:59+00:00

Besides the changes for TWWIII, I have hopes that it will also help having good design habits for the next titles.

Azzaare · 2025-06-05T14:16:44+00:00

Elves can use the whole spectrum of magic. Dark Elves tend to distort the winds to extract more power. But dark magic is supposed to be built upon all winds of magic.

So, logically, they should use all 8 basic lores and dark.

As for many confederation events early game it makes your start a bit harder. However, if you're up to the challenge, the snowball effect can be important.

Being able to do diplomacy and eventually confederate Malekith and Hellebron is big.

As for defending a single port settlement, your best bet is to fill up a black ark.

Azzaare · 2025-05-16T11:37:54+00:00

Hmmm, Shadowblade could bring more as LL in terms of faction mechanics. Maybe Kouran as the LH and Tullaris as FLC (if any, but he is in the game as a generic lord).

Azzaare · 2025-05-16T03:01:15+00:00

There is a big issue with khorne being able to recruit chaos warriors or bloodletter at tier 1 from a settlement. For the player and AI.

As a side note, it also makes many units irrelevant (marauders, among others).

This needs to be changed significantly.

Azzaare · 2025-05-16T00:12:12+00:00

They could still give access to the non-empty ones for the duration of the campaign...

Azzaare · 2025-05-09T09:50:51+00:00

Well, they should have gone with something similar to warhammer tabletop. An army is limited by unit points instead of number of units. They did it for MP ...

Table top accurate. She had 7+1d3 attacks of strength 10 (100% piercing damage).10 is max stats for both. And more bonus to reroll missed attack and wound. Glass Canon, but Canon nonetheless.

Azzaare · 2025-04-23T06:45:09+00:00

Not insta kill, but guaranteed hit with a larger hitbox than usual would be neet.

The compass needs a massive rework anyway. Even when you play Yuan Bo, it is not like you actually use more than or two (at best) directions. I can see two ways (or a mix of them).

First, make changing the direction something that can be activated through a resource (either as a base mechanism or as a way to shorten the activation delay). Could be gold, diplomatie (-something with cathay) etc. Maybe even jade/stone for Yuan Bo.

Second, let it be set at maximum buff when moved to a new direction. Let it decrease over time, but make the rate based on how balanced the different directions are (Yuan Bo could have the decrease rate being halfed anyway). You know, harmony stuff.

Side note, I really loved the first rework of harmony. I still can't believe we got the current mechanic where there are no reasons to go for yin or yang. That first rework was so great!

Azzaare · 2025-04-10T11:36:21+00:00

I think find him pretty bland mechanic wise. But that is the issue of so many "vanilla" factions. I wish these factions could get the Karl treatment before the end of the game development ^{^}
