The Total War Playlist - kzitem.info/news/bejne/uHeVz4yBoaGmnXY AUGUST 2023 UPDATE: There was a DLC to flesh out the chaos roster, the big map is free for everyone, and some other good improvements, but a significant amount of core features remain horrendously broken and buggy. Siege battles in particular are still in about the same spot.

It is why I had more fun with a Slannesh campaign until that impossible to remove "Corrupted by Nurgle" trait made the campaign unplayable. I saved a Herald built for this army. Then 5 Hellscourge as the anvil, 6 units of Heart Seekers, 2 Alluress (Lore of Slannesh) on steeds 1 fore each group with charge buffs, 2 Soul Grinders to help the line, and two Daemonettes that I considered swapping for more Hellscourge for back up for the anvil. 18 units max to encourage the AI to actually fight me and not cower in a settlement. I really liked poking and prodding then running over targets that were weak enough then watching as the magical armour piercing attacks of the Heart Seekers would munch the flanks very quickly. I really like that devastating charge.

Love the GW told everyone there was a 5% price hike coming and the moment the price lists got leaked there were a thousand people calling them out for it being more like 8-15% for most stuff and as high as 20% on some.

I'm not sure about the function(I'd need to actually play Danny boy to end game and that's a shit show.) but from what I can see the benefits of going one god is decent sized buffs and upkeep/recruitment reductions for those units while I BELIEVE keeping all minor things of the other faction you already have....but unable to get anymore now that you've chosen. So you lose 3 factions of endgame units to make one fourth of your roster stronger and cheaper to use.....also the specific parts under them but I've not really looked to see if they are remotely worthwhile compared to the gear from undivided I just know they ARE different from the undivided pieces.

It feels super clunky for them not to be able to just pick up the camp and move it considering how they rely on them. You don’t wanna out run the camps circle of influence, but you have no way to move it. The only way to fix the issue is to wait until you unlock another one or demolish the whole thing and start over, both of which take too long.

So the Blood DLC for Shogun2 was only "18+ years" for a long time; for Rome2 "16+", the following titles had a normally "12+"; Three Kingdoms has a "16+". Strangely enough, Warhammer 2 totally stands out, since the Blood DLC is actually "18+" again.

Wait, hold on. The anti-charge bug that was mostly fixed in the last TWW2 patch is somehow in the third game? Wut? The whole "charging cavalry/chariots get melted in seconds" thing was an unforeseen interaction in the second game, where they tried to fix the damage output of cavalry units, but accidentally made them uselessly fragile because their solution was to have charging models automatically deal damage on contact. The issue is, a charging cav model can make contact with dozens of models when piercing into a unit, so if the enemy had decent armor-piercing (or worse, anti-large) damage, they would get absolutely destroyed. This was in the game for a solid year and made cavalry borderline useless, and they somehow ported it over to TWW3? What the hell, Creative Assembly? What the actual hell?

No, it is a different issue in WH3. Spear and Halberd units got a new ability called charge reflect. The idea is that they get bonus damage when an enemy (not sure if only for cav or in general) recently charged them while being braced. But currently there is a bug where this "being braced" condition does not seem to work properly and so they get their bonus damage even if they are charging into a cav unit.

@@adrason8339 Its vs everything. However more noticeable against large units (after all they already have a Bonus vs Large) and large units have a bigger charge to reflect. This would easely be fixable by making braced units immovable/rooted when an enemy presence is in range with a cooldown. Or make it toggable if that is too dificult to predict when they become rooted for bracing. But Problem is when they DONT move and get charged the charge reflect doesnt really do much as for large units there is some "delay" after which the defender will attack and until then half of the reflected charge timer has run out. So they need to double the time if they try to fix it to make it actually worth it.

Honestly I was so hopeful for the survival mode. If it didn't require me to going from A to B and to C, and it wasnt so tedious going from each. If they made it say one larger map with different hills and open areas, three points, A, B and C and the objective is to say protect A. Maybe the context there is that is your 'exit'. If they cap the exit you are trapped and gotta go recap it. B and C could be extra defense supplies or maybe a buff if you can cap it, making the survival much smoother. Surviving for X minutes then a big boss comes is far more fun, especially with a good arena style map design. With a mix of chokepoints and open areas, cavalry can flank, archers can be placed on hills, and infantry can hold the chokes. I mean we are invading Chaos realms right? That's like their home turf. It's kinda of insane to think I can just bust through their guards and wiggle my finger at the prince going 'come at me bro'.

I would like it much more if minor siege battles only become a thing once the settlement reaches level 2 or 3. The vast majority of battles will be minor settlement battles so the fact that none of them will be land battles anymore is going to make them much more repetitive. I already had a feeling this was the case when watching livestreams.

Thanks for the detailed review, Mandalore. Despite the mentioned flaws, I think I will still get the game. I didn't know the demon rosters were that lacking in comparison to more fleshed out human races. My original idea was to play as Skarbrand for a simple walls to the balls type of playstyle. But Cathay's more fleshed out roster, the Yin and Yang mechanics combined with its nice aesthetics swayed me towards that, even though I've never been a sucker for Chinese themed visuals. But so far, MakeYourOwnDemon faction seems to be the most versatile way to play Chaos, so that'll be my go to if I decide to play as the baddies.

I'm interested in Tzeentch campaign dickery the most, but the idea of playing ranged exclusive faction is a major turn-off (even if I tend to gravitate towards that particular playstyle a lot). Also, is it possible to play same faction in multiplayer? Because having multiplayer Tzeentch only faction is gonna be hilarious.

The bug where things run away when not in skirmish mode (12:48) is something I noticed recently in Warhammer 2. It seems like it appeared around the time they messed with charging, but is way less noticeable than in Warhammer 3 for sure.

Thank you for such an honest review. I have been sitting on the fence about what I'd seen across the last few months. Now I'm firmly determined to wait until they've fixed a bulk of these issues (if they even do).

Holy shit. Did not expect this to drop before release, considering the time and sheer quality of TWW2, which I often re-watch. This week is just getting better and better, and it's not even Thursday yet!

I am at the UI portion of the video and MAN I am gonna lose my mind playing this game because I have over 2000+hours on Warhammer 2 and the UI is brunt into my brain. Hopefully they will give us a toggle the old UI layout option(or modders will work their miracle)

Honestly I imagine modders will have changed about half of it in no time at all, I've been playing with a whole slew of ui mods for awhile on 2. The quest stuff.....that'll probably be there until CA makes changes though.

Something that stood out to me throughout the video is how barren some of the skill trees look. Still very excited to get my hands on the game but for some heroes it looks like there’s more points than things to actually put points into.

The moment you talked about the menu, and compared it with TWW2 I thought: why.. and how would someone think the Handy/Mobile Phone look is in any way better than the TWW2 look? It's as if they tried to make it simpler, but made it more complicated instead.
