I need to remember to pick up some of the older bits I’m missing the next time there is a big steam sale.

1645

So as someone who owns all three games, does this update do anything meaningful for the actual play experience of immortal empires? The update notes look a little… thin although maybe I am just underestimating the changes here.

1646

I took that as meaning there isn’t much left needs fixing/smoothing over!

1647

Nope, it does nothing but some bugfixes. I’m not even going to bother re-installing to check it out.

1648

The breakdown is more ‘Order v Chaos’. TK are definitely one of the Forces of Order.

1649

The thing about neutrality is that generally Good Guys will recognize it and Bad Guys don’t.

Skarbrand isn’t going to care that you’re minding your own business. He’s just pissed you don’t have any blood (though you do have skulls, so he’ll make due).

1650

I wonder if that’s reflected mechanically at all. I remember maintaining peace with a TK faction in TW2 but it’s a foggy memory.

1651

Settra tends to align order but occasionally does not (5%-10% of games) because they fight human and lizard minors.

Similarly, Wood elves goes to war with whoever they want. Dwarves, the French, etc.

After Chaos invades they tend to snap back thought as you gain reputation from battles with Chaos.

1652

It is to a certain extent. There is a racial aversion modifier in the diplomacy readout that keeps “good guys” and the “bad guys” from being allies.

Tomb Kings, wood elves, and Lizards are more like an “order” faction where they can go either way. I always try to establish a good relationship with order factions as soon as I can because I have had a couple of campaigns get bogged down when they are allied with the people I want to fight.

1653

Free to play until March 13th.

1654

I’ve been out of the loop. Wasn’t there another big update coming? Or a DLC?

1655

Chaos Dwarfs in April! Trailer expected in the next 2 weeks.

1656

Cool Txs!

More info/mechanics/lore.

AWESOME trailer!

1662

Such a cool trailer! Then again, I say that after almost every trailer!

As to Warhammer 3 Mortal Empires campaign:

Man the Skaven are tough. IMO, the hardest faction in the game to fight against. They clearly have the best units. The big issue is that every.single.battle. is an ambush battle, and they utterly dominate at ambush battles. I think out of… 6? battles with the Skaven i’ve had so far, i’ve decisively lost every one (as Empire). If i could get some distance, bunch them up, might have a much better chance. But my poor Empire armies are dead within, dunno, two minutes? of the start of an ambush. I don’t remember Skaven being so ambush-y in the many, many hours in War2 Immortal Empires. They’re a whole 'nother level of horrible here. The only saving grace seems that they’re much, much less common in the new map and often seem to die out without any player intervention.
