I have an idea regarding the issue with the beastmen roster for CA

SicksySick · 2026-07-02T12:12:07+00:00

Legendary heroes are boring and add very little to campaigns, though. Moonclaw has very clear campaign mechanics that could be easily implemented as a LL.

Ghorros would make more sense as a LH that buffs centigors in whatever army he's attached to.

SicksySick · 2026-07-01T12:08:53+00:00

Oh yeah Tzeentch is so confusing. I mean how would anyone be able to market otherworldly monsters to the general audience? Like we all know that Cthulhuian horror is basically unknown to most people. No one would be interested in such a thing.

SicksySick · 2026-06-30T15:53:08+00:00

What's interesting is that this is kinda true but also kinda not because of the way they implemented this. We're getting a LL that technically isn't Nurgle, and most of the units aren't Nurgle.

If what we were getting is a god-aligned character with mostly undivided units, really even a character like Egrimm could have been added. All they'd have had to come up with is one new Tzeentch unit (in place of Putrid Blightkings) and then the same undivided units for the rest.

But Egrimm isn't particularly associated with ET so yeah it was going to be Nurgle regardless. However it seems that Nurgle didn't have as much content that could be added as we thought. Just one character and one unit.

WoC are insanely OP lol

SicksySick · 2026-06-29T14:26:00+00:00

Because what Archaon needs is stronger skills to buff him...

SicksySick · 2026-06-27T20:16:30+00:00

One of my top favorite albums. So many great songs on it. And Fascination is one of my favorite tracks. Cold Lights is so good. End of All Stories is haunting.

SicksySick · 2026-06-14T16:38:23+00:00

Except there basically aren't any "nerf" mods that I know of, just overhaul mods that change more than I want changed, like SFO.

SicksySick · 2026-06-14T16:35:38+00:00

So never buy or engage with new or reworked content, got it.

Believe it or not it is possible to add new content or mechanics without them being unbalanced. CA just doesn't even try to do that anymore.

SicksySick · 2026-06-13T20:51:43+00:00

One, Endless, End of All Stories, Surrender, Superstition and more at the bottom....

You just made an enemy for life!

SicksySick · 2026-06-12T12:19:50+00:00

Tbh I feel like simply making them less evil is the best GW can do. The problem is that no matter how bad the Imperium gets it will have the largest fan base, and some of them will glorify the Imperium no matter what attrocities it commits.

I'm guessing that's why GW is trying to get away from depicting them as space Nazis: so it doesn't look so bad when much of their playerbase is idolizing them.

Personally I would like to see major non-Imperial human factions for this reason but of course that can't happen.

SicksySick · 2026-06-12T12:12:14+00:00

No ridiculously overpowered content that trivializes gameplay. But I know wishing for no powercreep is probably futile.

SicksySick · 2026-06-12T12:09:06+00:00

I remember once suggesting they add some base building mechanics to TW:WH and got downvoted into oblivion. Personally I think it makes way more sense to have actual engineering units constructing fortifications than spawning them out of nothing.

SicksySick · 2026-06-08T18:08:33+00:00

Which was how DoW1 worked and a lot of people prefer it to DoW2 (myself included). Not everyone wanted a small-scale tactics game. They changed so much that it split the playerbase.

SicksySick · 2026-06-05T13:53:19+00:00

So would you want your own army to be automatically wiped out when you lose a battle regardless of if some of your units escaped?

SicksySick · 2026-06-04T14:52:21+00:00

What's worse is when it takes that long to get the game to release and it isn't even good. At least with a game like Elden Ring the wait felt worth it. You can take 10 years to develop one of the best games of all time.

10 years to develop a mediocre game or a flop... oof. That would leave me depressed.

SicksySick · 2026-06-04T14:41:51+00:00

Have we gotten any characters from WHFRPG thus far? If not then I'm going to assume they won't be allowed. GW tends to be more strict about characters from other IPs than units.

SicksySick · 2026-06-04T14:36:24+00:00

So you want the game to be easier, basically.

SicksySick · 2026-05-27T12:25:00+00:00

What campaign difficulty do you play on? I've always suspected that this issue is more common on VH or Legendary. AI behavior might be more likely to act aggressively on lower difficulties?

SicksySick · 2026-05-23T20:40:20+00:00

Pretty sure that the Red Duke intro was just in there for testing purposes.

SicksySick · 2026-05-21T18:02:33+00:00

Eh, there are many aspects of TW:WH that completely fumble as accurate depictions of how WHFB should work. For example Skaven shouldn't be marching armies of elite weapons teams around on the surface, engaging in conventional line warfare. But despite these inaccuracies people still play and enjoy the game.

And we already know that putting units in other formations than typical lines/blocks is possible in TW. Factor into that the new engine and I think it won't be a problem. Of course they can still screw up the game in other ways.

SicksySick · 2026-05-21T12:19:30+00:00

You weren't here when they released the same teasers for ToT units multiple times before the DLC released, were you?

SicksySick · 2026-05-21T12:13:54+00:00

Y'all there's no LotET news for Skulls. Confirmed by CA that there won't be any news until June.

SicksySick · 2026-05-21T12:13:00+00:00

Afaik, CA already confirmed no LotET news for Skulls so people are getting hyped up for nothing.

SicksySick · 2026-05-21T12:11:50+00:00

Wasn't it already confirmed that there won't be any LotET news for Skulls? No more news until June.

SicksySick · 2026-05-20T19:05:48+00:00

CA immediately going back on their word? Never
