I guess the Light Wizard/Sorcerer of Tzeentch is still the narrator, then? I wonder how they'll tie him into this story, since he was part of Archaon's End Times storyline.

[umiman]

I wonder if they'll use him to narrate for the other Chaos factions in the third game too. That would be quite amusing. I can't imagine Mr. Angry Skull being very happy about that.

Khorne is ambivalent towards Tzeentch. But I will be disappointed if he doesn't constantly insult and belittle you if you are playing as a hypothetical nurglite faction.

Khorne? Ambivalent?

You're referring to the guy who flays the soul of any sorcerer who dares approach him as ambivalent towards the prime chief superguy of magic?

Are you sure you're referring to the right person, because I don't think ambivalent is a mood that exists for Mr. Angry Man. I highly doubt he's capable of being ambivalent to a bowl of cereal, let alone any of the other gods.

Tzeentch isn't actually all that high on his shit-list, Slaanesh has top tier position. Khorne only hates Tzeentch about as much as everyone else who isn't Slaanesh since basically everyone else is magic with few exceptions anyway.

One version of the established heirarchy is him and Tzeentch teaming up against Nurgle and Slaanesh. Basically the two established guys kicking the weaker two to keep them down.

Well, I didn't think I needed to see 13 dinosaurs take on 5000 skaven, but then I saw this.

[scriver]

I wonder how much skaben troop counts are going to fuck up battle auto-solving.

Well, Lionheart utterly SHATTERED 1.8 stacks or so worth of them with a little over half a stack of Lizardmen when it said it'd be a 50/50 chance auto'd.

[Majestic7]

The one cheat I miss from old Total Wars is the ability to get crushing victories on auto-resolve. There are still battles I know I will win crushingly against the enemy, but auto-resolve will give unacceptable casualties.. but I couldn't be bothered to fight otherwise.

Sometimes the result indicator for autoresolve will just be plain wrong. Quicksave and see if it actually plays as advertised or not. Unless you are on Legendary. In that case you should not autoresolve ever.

FREE FOR ALL BATTLE VIDEO

Since FFA winners are decided by who killed the most units, I imagine the best strat is to just use single unit monsters. Then when everyone just uses single unit monsters, you use monsters with lots of anti-large as well as regeneration if possible.

Or maybe have a mage on a horse running around looking for gigantic clumps of units to drop some super spell on.

I imagine Norsca is going to roflstomp the FFA mode by just spamming skinwolves and mammoths.

----------

Incidentally, the early reviews have all come in and while they are all rated very highly the common complaint is that the vortex campaign sucks dick.

Game comes out tomorrow by the way. If you're a dumbass slut man-whore like myself who pointlessly preordered this game, then the preload has been up for awhile now though you have to manually ask Steam to preload for you.

[Criptfeind]

It looks like points are scored on some sort of damage mertic, not just raw kills. There's probably some way to cheese it still of course, but maybe not just single unit monsters.

I am very hyped for that. I wasted years in the 90's playing FFA battles in Myth: TFL and Myth II. FFA hasn't gotten much love in real-time tactics games in a long time.

[umiman]

This Yogscast free for all battle is way better entertainment I think.

[Teneb]

Finally got enough money to get the game later today. I guess I'll be playing Norsca tonight.

Umiman: could you either link to the complaints about the Vortex itself or paraphrase it for us?
