Karl franz is Prince AND Emperor!

Am I the only one who genuinely feels like Tzeentch is extremely enjoyable and super strong? I love playing Kairos

This will be fixed in 5.1, as per patch notes: "Fixed issue where bankruptcy attrition was being applied a turn early"

Are Lizardmen not in need of a major rework?

All I hear is legedairy lords

Hi Costin. I can’t seem to recruit units from my vassals with tudhalia the overseer legacy.

My personal opinion.... The Tomb of Khengai Khan landmark should give all Greenskin factions recruitable hobgoblin units with no fire damage listed under their extended roster. They could add Khengai Khan as an LL (maybe resurrects after completing a mission or) throw him in like they did Epidemius. In all honesty some reskinned hobgoblins and a reskinned goblin warboss would be bare minimum and even then he might be better than Epidemius lol. Along with the savage orc update would complete the faction as a whole. After all there is a lot of extra unused territory to the south of Granite Spikes, West of Nan Gau, and North of Titan's Notch to form a triangle of useless map area. Would love your opinion on this Costin.

The sisters are the AC130 of TWWH

Grimgor isn't too op to enjoy the game? All his bonuses + waagh+ orcs conquer mechanics makes me feel that I can beat everything even on legendary and after 20 turns i quit the game. Is his canpaign somehow challanging ? Same thing for Archaon (I haven't tried his canpaign yet but playing as kislev against him, he seems to be cery powerful and easy to play)

I agreed with everything till you got to the tomb kings

The Swords of Chaos were a group of elite Chaos Warriors who were assigned to protect Archaon even before he understood who he was. I think there were only about 6-12 of them, and they were essentially silent automatons who would die to protect him. They slowly died off protecting him over the 300-400 years it took Archaon to collect all of his artifacts that he needed to fulfill the prophesy of being the Everchosen. The RoR is well done considering their damage reduction aura they give to Lords and Heros.

CA could have done so much more with Daniel.

Mercy the Mad is indeed fantastic

which parts of kislev desperately need a rework other than devotion? i think their tech tree is fine, ice maiden recruiting is slow and annoying but not inherently broken in a bad way

You sided with dwarfs as skaven? To the hells with you

Brutal muscle guy. Kinda like him. I think I'm gonna spare him in Witcher 2. I played 3 now I play the second part just for the story.

Really looking forward to the Ogre dlc as they are a big fav of mine. Have to do some strange stuff to manage their crappy economy like the almighty gnoblar trapper only stacks as those things are absurdly powerful. Overall I do find them my fav faction to play in battle, love em to bits with their heavy charges and greasus' mass bonus for the faction letting you bully enemy characters and unstick your units easily but the campaign mechanics need that love. They should maybe tone down hunters though, those things are beyond broken and no unit or character in the entire roster can even hold a candle to those army mulching gods. There's no decisions to be made as to whether a hunter should be in an army or another unit/hero ever if one is available to be shoved in.

🦎 Oxyotl glares ominously at you from the thick of the jungle, blowpipe in mouth. As he prepares to shoot, FPS hits 0.5 and he rolls a 1 on his to-hit roll. Unlucky.

Hopefully the Greenskin DLC will focus more on the Savage Orcs rather than Black Orcs which will mean buffs/more diversity for Wurrzag and not so much a steroid injection for Grimgor, lol.

Higher difficulty means more fun Costin, you just like the easiest and most stupid factions.

We need the contracts to be replaced with the mercenary mechanic from Three Kingdoms!

Yeah plz never do the ai intro ever again. 🤮

Hadn't had the slanesh problem to be honest. Maybe a how hard do I steamroll problem because Tyrion and friends didn't got there chance to attack anything. Was it achallenge? No was it fun? Yes(at least for me). The is it strong or not point has lost its meaning do to the lack of difficulty in Wh3 in general for me but each there own. I personally still think that wh2 Vlad was the best/most fun total war campaigne ever so I am most likley not representative at all.

SALUT COSTIIIN

Salutare costii

stop crying its very good

Any recommendations for new players?

As much as i care about the free update to the faction they feel really good but just needing unique campaigns and small tweaks. My focus is the paid content because they are missing a lot most of it is unit variants, a couple of lord and hero options, and a few more unique squig units.... and im curious what will they be choosing for it because i want it to be worth the money and not be only getting a few unit variants and still be missing stuff for the race.

Skill issue

Gnoblars should be able to be sacrificed for meat. You should be able to unlock all big names and have them active at once; like WoC. Greasus should have 12+ Big Names. Camps should move either 10% of regular movement a turn or once every 5-10 turns. Camp Bosses should have skill points that effect their camp and can increase refund costs and rebuild speed; so you can tear down and rebuild somewhere else far away quicker. All Ogre units, except Gnoblars and Sabertusks should have Ogre Charge. Contracts should be fairly dynamic. Your first contract should be focused on three relatively close factions, your second contract set; if both the faction you accepted the contract from and the target faction are still alive should have offers from both factions with the “victim” trying to buy you off. A third contract if you don’t wanna play with those losers anymore. Also they should always reward a good money pile and an item or even multiple items.

struggling with this games campaign. Not much help out there and I came across your vid. Dang you have skilz!

💯 agree, i only play tzeentch pretty much and its been a struggle i was all excited for shadows of change... And that was a flop with no rework for fateweaver... And changelings broken.... Wtff lol

The problem is the reason they are weak, which is because you can just shoot all their units to death easily or build all anti-large, is a pretty lore accurate weakness. Ogres are easy targets for guns but a much harder prospect to face in melee, that's how it should be. The reason people think Ogres are bad is because they don't want to play Ogres how you're meant to, which is lore accurately. It means you have to sacrifice some of your army unit slots for gnoblars which you then use to soak up ranged damage for your Ogres by driving them ahead of your army during it's charge but leaving small gaps for the charging ogre units to get thru so the charge isn't blunted. But people just wanna build all Ogre armies which is neither lore accurate nor optimal. Although I will say perhaps a small buff to Ogre HP and missile resistance wouldn't hurt, but over-doing it would ruin Ogres just in a new, different way.

Do we know, like KNOW for sure that pre-order factions are developed with marketing money? I just find it hilarious if so.

I have brought these points up in the past in other locations, but I will stand by these points as I think they're needed for Ogres to really work with. 01. Starting with the simple changes, I think they need buffs on their stat lines or numbers to make them more viable With a bulk of them being low model count and large targets they need more bite to back them up. Make Ogre Charge only lose 25% or even negate charge defense entirely to make them even scarier, make their Ogres have higher melee attack and boost the stats of the Maneaters and the higher tiers. Make the Lead Belchers able to attack walls and towers, etc. These types of buffs are the most preliminary buffs they need. If I were to add more, I would say give them more splash damage and more unit cleave for ogres. Their attack animations need to feel more beefy in general. 02. Buildings in the Mountains of Mourn should be Ogre paradise. Not all these four slot settlements, but proper provinces with a nice, beefy capital area as a big camp of sorts where you can not only hire in big units without a camp nearby, but your allies in Co-Op can hire in the best Ogres money can buy. A simple change, but a welcomed one. 03. Camps are next on the list. The idea of camps as 'create a fortress' isn't bad by any means, but I think a mod called 'The Great Ogre-Haul' got it right when they made them movable forts which could be set up and shuffled around as you expanded is exactly what I think camps should be treated as. Make them mobile meat larders, recruitment, and generally a good way to cause headaches for foes abroad or make them hard-to-topple defenses at home. 04. The contracts need an overhaul, badly. However, I think the way to fix it is by leaning into a mix of Oxyotl and Snikitch's mechanics. You get contracts periodically from groups you are not hostile with, local or abroad, that has one of a small handful of general missions and maybe 'bonus' objectives. The bigger ones are 'Break Siege' which is what is says on the tin, they pay you to have your army assist in battle for a siege. Join Siege, same concept but in reverse. And lastly: Campaign Abroad. Minor objectives in it are 'Kill Lord' 'Kill Hero' or 'Kill Powerful Unit' to name a few. In all three you choose a contract, assign an army, and send them out which they'll disappear during the end turn as they are in-transit to the battlefield. Depending on mission they'll appear over the end turn (to break or support siege) or at the start of your next turn (Campaign Abroad). At the end of their mission they can or will be recalled back to Ogre Lands over the next turn or two to get home. For the mission 'Campaign Abroad' your army is teleported to the edge of the enemy territory, placed temporarily 'at war' with the target culture, and you are essentially encouraged to raid, sack, raze, or even capture settlements to harm and hamper the enemy force you are paid to fight (which if you capture during the contract you hand it over to your contractor). The more you disrupt, the more you're paid, and at the end of your contract you'll get the gold, meat, and likely items from outside the Ogre Loot Table as a reward (Prospector's Eyeglass is the best one I can think of on short notice) before your army is teleported back and the 'at war' status is deactivated. For players, if they have no hostile relations with the Ogres and are diplomatically available, you can hire them to do the same to your enemies or your cities for a large sum of money (Just as the AI can pay huge sums to send Ogres after you). The first three things I think are easy enough that it could be solved and implemented within a week or two, mostly for balancing and testing reasons. The last one would be where the bulk of the work needed to be done. What do you all think?

Personally I like to keep one fuel HEMTT and one of the Cartel's fuel truck just in case, but overall I always tey to find resources trailers or trucks and empty them during the missions and then sell them on the global map

I like races where I can get stuck in. This DLC is looking great on the cover. As a result of that, I play a fair amount of ogres. Their early economy is rough. Their minor settlements are trivial. The contract mechanic I just ignore. Basic ogre bulls are just bad. I treat them the way you treat gobbo spears or Brett infantry. They're too soft to really have staying power. Ogres need a bit more early game punch across the board. I have no issue with camps, save that I would just make the upkeep reduction building a passive tied to the primary structure. It's mandatory, and changes the camp from a valuable soft target to a very low cost 20 stack of high end terror I can AR most attacks on. I have never, ever lost a "completed" camp. I have lost a LOT of tier 1-3 camps I don't want to see moveable camps. I want camps placement and development to be relevant, the effective radius to be substantially larger, and for them to have significant interaction with minor settlements within its radius. For example, trade resources, if within camp control, should do more, like provide global upkeep, armor, or AP bonuses. This would incentivize smart camp placement to control them. Strong bonuses would be justified here, given the limitation of being in the camp radius. This also plays to ogre lore of controlling trade through the mountains. Once I reach late campaign, there is effectively no limit on camps. I have very solid artillery, some highly effective monsters and cav, and some much tougher infantry. Most of the real issues for ogres are in early to mid game, the contract mechanics, and the various animation issues. Late game, my Ogre stacks feel stronger than my greenskin stacks.

You're right, those corndogs are something alright.

They should not be the push overs of the world which they are

They need a greenskin-esque rework

You don't need to summon that army to attack the first settlement. Move Skarbrand as close as possible to the first army before you attach the Bloodreaper hero. If you do it that way, you can hit the army then settlement. Saving that summoned army to leap frog north.

cant jump toward right side

Conclusion and Review at 53:09 There's many more choices for Skarbrand than the ones I made here but suffice to say that once you get going you ain't stopping.

Hi, I just got Total War: Warhammer and my Waywatchers don't have bows in their hands. I see that in your video they do. Do you have a mod?

Ogres will get a huge overhaul, Khorne and Greenskins will get new units and minor balance adjustments-same formula as ToD.

Why is Tamurkhan even relevant. His defeat trait is an exploit that can and will most likely we remedied sooner rather than later. Greenskins as a faction are solid and mostly fun to play especially Grimgor and his early game which allows for a rapid snowball effect early game. But Greenskins as a race are missing that special sauce that makes them a truly unique race from all the others. They suffer from not having the same DLC support as the four chaos gods even though they effectively have a mirror in their four clans. Which means that allot of flavor has been left behind. They also suffer from a majority of Legendary Lords being generic and bland in their campaign and gameplay mechanics which is an issue as it makes the whole race a beginner race with no room for advanced players and late game content. I really feel that the Greenskins could use proper weapon swapping for their Black Orcs and an upgrade mechanic for Orcs to transition into Big'Uns which are just Orcs that have grown larger from fighting and winning. A bigger enthesis on the Clans wouldn't go amiss but in order to prevent bloat I'd suggest making the clan building chains climate locked so that Night Goblins for example can only be recruited from regions and provinces that have mountain climates.

I had a heart attack watching end result wtf

I dont think GS needs to be senselessly complex as the others recently updated are. Perhaps i missed that, but along with tech tree improvement, there needs to be also a reason to use other lords than just a goblin shaman warboss. + ofc as you mentioned, all races would deserve some effective confederation system, thats not just a GS. Everyone in wh3 suffer from map splitt and many old systems working in wh2 doesnt make a sense. But I dont think, that aside of few buffs and reworks in above mentioned is needed. Simplicity fits a GS.

Diplomacy is broken beyond reason. Pro tip to all of the 2 Slaanesh players in the audience - you can vassalize Morathi by offering her a single T4 or T5 settlement in Ulthuan. "Will give BJ for a cheeseburgher" energy.
