Why do you follow a watery tart instead of Sigmar's holy light. And gunpowder. Mostly gunpowder.

[sambojin]

I do want to know just how big the flying goon squad can get. I hope TW:W doesn't turn into that entirely.

[Tack]

Because she distributes swords.

It is annoying when my pegasus knights aren't fast enough to catch hawkriders and they just keep shooting me.
Elves are harder to play against than I thought.

Do the elf units with the magical arrows ever run out of ammo?

As dwarves, my tactic has mostly been 'sit and wait until they run out of ammo, then charge them' and its been effective except those magic-slinging bow guys never seemed to run out.

I solved it by bringing more cannons, which was glorious. I burned the tree of ages.

[Teneb]

Do the elf units with the magical arrows ever run out of ammo?

Yes. Actually, I think they have slightly less ammo than their regular counterparts.

[forsaken1111]

Hm, maybe I was just impatient. Still, my tactic of having ironbreakers simply weather the arrow storm seemed to work remarkably well. Once they ran out, my own riflemen and axemen quickly removed the elf threat

Other than bringing a bunch of siege weapons and gyrocopters, that's probably the only strategy that Dwarfs have against Elves.

[forsaken1111]

Gyrocopters didn't work out so well when I tried them. The massed ranged fire from the elves really tore them up.

It was pretty impressive though, seeing a line of ironbreakers just slowly walking into the rain of arrows completely heedless of the incoming fire.

Apparently, Bretonnia is the last Old World DLC, at least for a while. Are we going west, for Elves, Lizardmen, maybe a touch of Skaven? Or south and east, for skeltals and Ogres (and a touch of Skaven)?

Given that the expansialones will connect to the base game if you have them both, I wonder how hard it will be to do a total world conquest across all three maps. I wonder if the maps become one huge seamless map, or there are transition points ala Empire. I imagine they have to add naval combat, now, at least if they go west.

I'd hope west, just because lizardmen and skaven could have some quite interesting mechanics - I can imagine other Elves would also be easy enough to do and add a lot of interest. I'd also hope it's one big map, but it depends how they've coded the game - I wouldn't imagine the world map size matters too much, so they should be able to just tack more stuff on.

[Wiles]

I didn't realise that was going to be the end of it. I'm not terribly familiar with Warhammer lore so I was hoping we'd see Skaven before the standalones. I'll probably wait on purchasing the standalones though, TW:WH went for 12$ on humble less than a year after it was released. I'll just have to avoid getting on the hypetrain, which might be hard if Skaven are included.

[umiman]

Here's to hoping they give us real sieges back...

Doubtful that'll happen, but here's to hoping nontheless.

Today I spent two hours incinerating elves with fire. It was fantastic. 10/10 would incinerate longears again.

Well, when map packs start getting compiled we should be able to get a nice variety in siege maps. I think they're still just battle maps but some, like the Karak Kadrin map, have natural chokepoints that make it pretty much a siege. All that's missing is the control points.


It's also interesting to note that Alberic of Bordeleaux's unique item, the Tridant of Manaan, actually gives -75% deep sea attrition. I don't think any other character has this benefit.

As for the end to DLC for the first game, I thought I saw mentions that there was going to be one more coming. There is still the "Old Friend" thing in the FLC list but I felt sure there was some other DLC coming.

Can't have siege equipment or gates or towers in custom maps, sadly.
