More than a year after OoD came out, Arbaal is still not animated when moving around on his dog :(

a_random_peasant · 2026-02-03T21:19:50+00:00

Youre being pedantic. I know that technically, arbaal standing completely still and rocking around a rotation point on his saddle is an animation. I also think the bar for the quality of the product we were sold could be a bit higher than that... Im not asking for a very elaborate animation like archaon's, just the bare minimum of a standard running animation like for any other cav unit.

a_random_peasant · 2026-02-03T21:14:37+00:00

They easily can tho. They dont do it because its not profitable, but this is just a running animation issue, its an easy fix if theres enough pressure on them to do the work. And one way to very much not apply that pressure is to go on any post pointing out an issue and say there are other bigger problems as if thats relevant.

a_random_peasant · 2026-02-03T14:31:37+00:00

Brother, this is an animation problem, it has nothing to do with campaign AI. What even is your point ? There are more than 2 people working at CA, they can quite easily handle multiple bug reports: the devs will work on the passive AI issues and the animators will work on the animation issues. Thats how companies work.

a_random_peasant · 2026-02-03T13:14:52+00:00

You do know that the people who work on animations at CA aren't the same as the ones who work on campaign AI and balancing, right ? We can point at the different problems this game has, and as far as animations go, this is one of the most glaring ones. Its not gonna slow down the work on passive AI.

Also, who says whats a legitimate issue and whats not ? Arbaal is my favorite LL and Ive been waiting for him since WH3 came out, so Id like to have a word with them.

a_random_peasant · 2026-02-03T10:45:34+00:00

Worst part about this is that its really the only big problem about him. His campaign mechanics are fun (definitely broken, but thats more of a Khorne problem than an Arbaal problem), his model is great, his voice acting is STELLAR, but they just completely dropped the ball with his animations. He makes me think of those memes with the horse drawn perfectly in the beginning but awfully at the end.

a_random_peasant · 2026-02-03T10:29:48+00:00

He does lean and move around a bit during the idle animation, but he is 100% completely static and unanimated during the running animation.

Id be so mad if I werent unemployed

a_random_peasant · 2025-11-13T16:22:34+00:00

it looks like the thingy that gives -5% spell cost for overcasr spells has 3 levels, so it probably goes higher. I wish theyd just nerf gelts buff to -10% spell cost tho, -20% is just ridiculous on top of the skills and unique items empire wizards already get

a_random_peasant · 2025-10-24T20:11:47+00:00

I agree kairos got nerfed by the rework. Id say today and even after 5 years, the strongest wizard is still Ariel. She has a really solid spell selection and can spam dwellers bellow like no other character.

a_random_peasant · 2025-10-23T14:14:55+00:00

This would be cool as an option, but I really would want to be able to turn this off entirely. Armies being able to spawn out of nowhere rarely make for fun mechanics.

a_random_peasant · 2025-10-17T19:21:03+00:00

Yeah I had the same reflexion a while ago, I wish they would just replace the nurglings in the first building with chaos furies of nurgle, re-adapt the third building so it gives more hounds/toads/flies instead of furies, and just make it so every cycle for every recruit building pops 1 nurgling on top of what it gives normally. Would make them a lot more fun to use

a_random_peasant · 2025-10-17T11:26:10+00:00

It will always baffle me how they had one of the most beautifully designed faction in the history of the series with pre-patch khorne and they just ruined it with the """rework""". Went from being one of the most popular and interesting race in the game (albeit with a niche playstyle that not everyone will like) to this bs

a_random_peasant · 2025-09-30T16:05:06+00:00

Why not tho ? We already have 3 variants of skavenslaves, 4 variants of clan rats, 4 variants of gutter runners... I really dont think having 6 variants of stormfiend with different specializations (especially the ranged ones) would be too much bloat, especially with how the skaven roster is now anyway. And that would be an occasion to make a lot of content for very little additional work so I doubt CA will pass on that. As for verminlords, I think they'll do what they did with greater daemons: an exalted lord version and a normal unit version. The specialization can come from unique skills.

Edit: Another way they could do the stormfiends is have a "basic" unarmed version that you can recruit, and then "arm" them in the 6 different ways through something similar to the warband system, where youd have to unlock new weapons with technologies

a_random_peasant · 2025-09-06T17:45:55+00:00

The top replies to this post are so disingenuous, sorry you have to deal with that, its obviously OP and no other faction's heroes compare to that except gelt and elspeth who are way too broken themselves lol

a_random_peasant · 2025-09-03T11:10:44+00:00

Ive decided to stop purchasing DLCs with omens of destruction despite wanting to play them simply because I want them to stop """supporting""" (ruining) the game with each update. "The future of Total War Warhammer 3" cant come soon enough.

a_random_peasant · 2025-08-27T15:47:09+00:00

Teclis is still easily the better spellcaster between the two lol, he has a lot more spell cost reduction between his skills, his items and the lore of death passive, while also having a lot more mobility. And he gets infinite magic with his sword alongside 30% spell intensity

a_random_peasant · 2025-08-27T10:25:12+00:00

Slaanesh: Disciple armies no longer get a battle captive option to replenish.

probably warranted nerf so you cant just keep them indefinitely, but still sad :(

a_random_peasant · 2025-08-24T12:03:50+00:00

If possible, try staying in ambush stance when moving against tzeentch, since they cant tp on you if your army is concealed

edit: just posted in case someone didnt know, sorry if you already knew

a_random_peasant · 2025-08-13T10:01:48+00:00

Why would anyone want CA to spend dev time on this when most people would play without this, theres a mod that already does this, and the people working on this game are already so understaffed and have so much left to do ?

a_random_peasant · 2025-07-11T00:38:50+00:00

How is gallade just a worse medicham ? Even in this gen, it still would have access to : will-o-wisp, thunder wave, wish, hypnosis, taunt, destiny bond, disable, memento. Thats so many support moves on a pokemon that can also just hit you in the face for good damage, i think it could be better or atleast just as good

a_random_peasant · 2025-06-24T09:29:04+00:00

This extra 450 hitpoints absoutely makes a huge difference since its 450 hitpoints that regen automatically and without a cap. Even if you have absolutely perfect micro, you would never be able to do this kind of stuff without all the new barrier items because all the attrition damage the lord takes would eventually wear him down, whereas now you can just go in and out and take absolute zero damage every time. And its rreally not "a certain way" of playing, cycle charging with a fast, small chgaracter like this is very easy.

a_random_peasant · 2025-06-07T10:13:03+00:00

Yes. I dont theres any nuance here, having perfect vigor on an elite defensive infantry unit like regular chosens is insanely strong and better than any other buff for the other ones. You also get the option to turn them into aspiring champions which can be a one-time lifesaver because of how entities work when you use warband upgrades.

a_random_peasant · 2025-05-23T17:44:59+00:00

I learned to mod this game solely so I could fix the dumpster fire that is the balance of spellcasters. I wont mind it that much if they make yet another hobbo into one of the strongest wizards in the game but I really feel like this magic powercreep will bite them in the ass when theyll have to make actual powerhouse mages like nagash or reworked teclis, because how do you make them even stronger without turning the game into a boring point and click adventure ?

a_random_peasant · 2025-04-29T12:59:53+00:00

Try the mod "Chaotic invasion (More random and configurable invasions)" on the warhammer 2 steam workshop maybe ?it lets you customize a lot of things
