I am pretty sure they've managed to optimize the game, since I'm loading it faster now. I can actually fight battles, big or small without having to go for a snack. Also Alith Anar is really fun.

An interesting thing I've noticed is that Bone Giants are considered undead in the game. The artwork and the ingame model makes them look like a construct similar to the Ushabti. This means they benefit from the army wide heals but don't benefit from the bonuses given by the Necrotect.

That can't be intended. Everything from the intro video to the lore text says they're constructs.

If you play as Throgg, try giving him impossible move commands like onto a mountain. There's some amusing lines there.

It's a fun thing to do with a bunch of race lords. They all have various lines for them too.

I'm both awed and horrified by the Sword of Khaine. The lord who has it is insanely good at murdering things for me, but even at only step 2 of it's progression it's making it very hard to keep Ulthuan at high public order.

I can only imagine how powerful it could be to a horde faction who doesn't need to care about the downsides.

Or a legendary AI that has so much positive buffs that it can ignore it.

Factions that benefit from rebellions  (greenskins) seem like would be perfect for the blade

Once I'm done with my current Avelorne game I might see if I can snag the Sword of Khaine as Beastmen, or maybe Chaos. Kholek or (modded in) Taurox with the sword would give me all the happiness a heretic can have.

I'm really stoked that CA is putting in all these fun mechanics. Makes campaigns so interesting instead of a simple paint the map thing.

Just found a bug with the Sword of Khaine. I was playing as Alith Anar and got to confederate with Avellorn and Allariele was wielding the sword at the time. The thing is, the game still thinks Avellorn has the sword (though the faction no longer exists) and I have the full power of the sword without any of the downsides. Right now I am trying to lose it to see if the game somehow fixes itself. (and dont waste away my 100 turns ME campaign)

So the cure to the madness of Khaine is the power of friendship?

I'm noticing that when the AI HElves draw the sword they often seem to just hang around the Shrine of Khaine afterwards, the DElves seem to claim the shrine, take the sword and run away back to Naggaroth until the shrine is taken off them again, when they return to retake it.

They don't seem to make the best use of it unless fighting each other around the Shrine.

EDIT: Beastmen seem to be affected by the extended unit training time of harsh climates. While I was in Nagarythe looking for the sword it was taking 2 turns to train Gors, when I walked back to Chrace it was just 1 turn. Never noticed anything like that before.

CA said today they are working in another "campaign" pack for Warhammer II. Campaign packs are supposed to be a new playable race with 4 LLs. My bet is on Southern Realms/Dogs of War as they added Sartosa to Mortal Empires map in the last patch and Araby isnt so much different from Tomb Kings as they share the desert theme.

The next game in the franchise is also in pre-production right now and they gave hints alluding to "dark places".

Started a Norsca Mortal Empires campaign (I hadn’t realized I owned Norsca, so, err, pleasant surprise) and am enjoying it a lot. Suffered a lot from cash problems as Throgg early-game until I realized you can throw common sense to the wind and raid your own provinces without much issue. Public order is not really a problem or when it is, Norscan garrisons are hardcore and can easily trounce rebels.

It’s got the fun parts of being a raiding and rampaging faction like the Greenskins without the frustrating public order and lesser cash problems (granted, those are largely early-game concerns, but Norsca gets through the early game faster too), with a way better roster. Monster Hunts are cool too.

I’ve got Throgg with an all-monster army right now. Has anyone else tried it? I’ve got Fimir as my front line, Trolls to shock, a Feral Manticore as an aerial harasser, two mammoths, and ice wolves. It’s pretty great, but I do lack ranged and have nothing to assault walls with in siege battles.

I had an all monster army with Throgg. Think I had two manticores and a dragon, but otherwise basically the same. Tis great fun against the Empire basic troops.
