Here's the Steam page

While Wood Elves can conquer all settlements, they're very limited in what they can build outside their forest settlements.

Was hoping they'd do a GotY edition.

Okay, this one looks so much more value than the Beastmen.

Way more variety, way more interesting, way better campaign mechanics.

Still not gonna buy it though, cause I'm a cheapskate.

[LordPorkins]

I loved the new beastmen models. The new spells, champions, Doombulls. Everything was awesome. MAlacath looked fucking amazing.


And then they stopped. They had a good thing and then they just abandoned it. Beastmen could EASILY become at least as popular as Skaven

[umiman]

They really needed to add more of the Beastmens' more unique units like harpies and jabberslythes (aka the source of "it would have cost a Charlemagne to do").

But for this Wood Elf DLC, apparently the entire Wood Elf roster is in it except for a few heroes.

[LordPorkins]

Thats dumb. How many dozens of elves have the implemented already? Do something original.

Like Beastmen, or Skaven. Or Malal

[umiman]

I'm confused.

Didn't you just say you liked the Beastmen?

Also we know Skaven are coming. And Malal will probably show up as some kind of joke or easter egg in the final Warhammer Total War expansion where they said it'll just about about Chaos and the demons.

[LordPorkins]

Yah. Im saying theyn shouldnt do  Elves. They should improve Beastmen

Edit: Malal Should Show up. Like, he is just such a rogue card (IS he Chaos, or Anti-Chaos? Is he real, or simply imaginatory) i wouldnt put it past GeeDubs to do something with him.

I'm really excited for this expansion. According to the store page, each Elf settlement in the Athel Loren can have 10 buildings -- the building tree (ba dum tss) must be pretty extensive for each settlement to have so many slots, right?

It's probably because they can't really build anything outside of it, though they can conquer any settlement.

I'm not very excited about the Amber mechanic.
Having to choose between the best buildings and the best troops?
I build the best buildings to GET the best troops.

Yeah, but like, 10. That's just so many buildings. Jeez.

Depending on which lord you choose, you can either recruit elven units without amber cost or all others without amber cost.

I think it's pretty good personally, as it means your starting LL choice matters a lot more for these guys. Also according to the description, apparently these two subfactions don't even like each other that much any more. So maybe they have to bribe each other to join or something.

Though I'm also sure within like... a day... there will be a mod to make amber super abundant or something.

I should also point out that this faction also has the different starting location for which lord you choose like their previous DLC. I wish they'd do it for every single LL.

LordPorkins:

Look at this way. At least now you can pound the puny elves into submission and you don't even have to buy the DLC to do that.

[LordPorkins]

Thats why i have Dwarf Fortress though...

[Tack]

Indeed, I am VERY excited that Athel Loren will soon become a pile of lumber connecting trade between the bretonnians and dwarfs, instead of a creepy useless blank spot on the map.
