I was thinking about this myself. I don't even remember what vanilla was like and haven't played MTW2 in a long time. If I were to however, I'd be hard press not to have SS included as standard....

The AI does a half decent job of defending the walls, kinda. It leaves too much at the town center though. Sometimes it seems a little random though, where they throw the kitchen sink at you early....

Aww, all you have is a demeaning characterization? Mkay.

Anyway, wasn't trying to pressure you guys. I know it's tons of work and deadlines aren't something you put on this kind of stuff :P

Don't get me wrong guys I don't want you to think you're competing with a professional AAA dev, I just want as much recognition for yourselves as you deserve.



Yeah as longa s the campaign map...

I'm sure the mod will still continue on, I only think many more will try it out now as they're itching for a TW fix.

Now this is just my opinion and I'm not a dev or even have the beta but if I wanted this mod to get maximum exposure I'd release the mod now or ASAP because after WTW releases you guys may not get...

It's even more work but imagine your mod for Beginning of the end times :D

Then again they may have taken your combat philosophy in consideration for their idea of balance. Either way thanks for...

No, I won't. Though I did preorder Rome 2 (shame on me), so I couldn't have gone off them really anyway. Youtube lets play etc are what you should watch. That and may be a few proven trustworthy...

Oh greeneyedvl already confirmed it or something?

I figure it could help modders to start threads and coordination to get things organized early on for them? Just a thought.

It's a unique situation in that all the races are intended to be implemented by the end of the trilogy, yes. It seems to be WHFB's swan song, really. I hope it's not the end but GW doesn't seem to...

Well, Starcraft 2's "trilogy" was over 6 years or so, so it seems possible.

Me too, but it must be a ton of work, I'd understand he he doesn't wanna do much of the work all over again.

No, it is not like this. WTW without chaos as a playable faction was clearly possible before they were announced. It still is, and you can play against them with a more limited roster (it still isn't...

I think the publisher is quite clear on the prices and people are quite clear on what they're paying. Prices for games have gone up, DLC has been the train for this. People "not realizing" they're...

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg_9CDw4nhURN7FJmfx82YesDJODQDeOo That youtuber has lots of BotET custom battles and a vamp count lets play even, great to watch and preview on

When did they do this? I know the Westeros mod was taken down, but Call of Warhammer seems to be going strong on here. I'm still surprised GW did nothing about it, especially after the Westeros one...

This guy was over at the steam forums telling us how he knows the budget concerns and actual price points appropriate for games. Probably sees the financial statements even, I'd wager. He's a real...

Frankly I'd rather CA not rock the boat too much when it comes to implementing these things. I'd really hate to have a janky feature for this game I've waited for for so long, but yes I agree the...

They are big features that took a ton of work to get working, and the fact they seem to have been done right are good enough for me, the field battles are looking better than I expected. The game...

Yes, like flying units and magic, or monstrous units. Even odd things like the luminark of hysh etc. It's quite a different setup in that regard.

I don't even see the difference too much between the two. It's just more believable that guys with big axes can cut through a gate than through matches at it. I wish the mechanic was removed...

Can't say I agree with you there has been "no innnovation" given all the new mechanics in battle..

But regardless, I wouldn't really trust reviews alone, especially since many reviewers loved Rome...

I don't mind the missing animations as much as I don't like the mechanic itself: Torches or ladders. The idea you can bust down a IRON GATE in Rome 2 or scale the MASSIVE walls of Altdorf with...

Yes, and that does not mean they would be impossible to fight in a karak.




I don't know, but many anti-karak-guys seems to be TW players first and can't imagine assymetrical campaign balance...

And if you buy on Steam you can refund the game, just don't play over the 2 hour window and refund within two weeks of release. I intend to preorder a few days before to preload it. AFter it releases...

This would be balanced on the campaign map with fewer numbers and/or higher upkeep etc, and fits the lore anyway, and also assuming it would actually be that difficult, since we don't even know how...

The siege battles are kind of a let down but the karaks are really big for me. I wouldn't be surprised if we could mod ladders and out the AI still works fine. But we're not modding in karaks,...

https://youtu.be/gx1_4dVFjqo?t=786 The AI's a bit better there and the battle is unscripted, I think the quest battles are just stupidly scripted to the point of making it too easy for the player.
...

Yeah I don't know what's going on behind closed doors. I know people would whine bla bla but I'm more than fine with paying extra for better sieges. WTW is too special of a combination for me and...

Yeah that made me laugh, trying to gussy up essentially the same layout across races by saying you "can play it different bro!" is hilarious. That's like if CA had used the same layouts between...

I don't see why it has to be that way gameplay wise. I've talked alot about this issue, and it could easily be balanced in the campaign. The same templates gameplay wise is even worse, and CA think...

https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/170584/siege-q-and-a/ So looks like CA skirted the issue with their typical political speak. They didn't even address how *Altdorf* is literally the same as...

Yes, garrison tweaks could work too. It really depends on how massive the advantage the karaks bring. Only probably a few balancers at CA even have much of a educated inkling what woudl be...

Raise the upkeep, recruitment times, and/or cost. There's lots of ways to balance this.

There's a guy on the official forums who seems to think the dwarfs are so OP that even lowering their defenses makes sense because they can win almost any field battle etc. I'm surprised no jokester...

http://strawpoll.me/7209647

I personally want them to be stronger and have unique race-specific karak layouts, but with higher upkeep for all units as well as recruitment times. I do want to lose...

Attila and Rome 2's AI is just fine with sieges from the few dozen times I've played it and they've patched it all up. It seems perfectly doable to get a passable AI.I will grant they probably...

Yes this has been my biggest hypothesis. It's rather unacceptable eithher way to hop races with the same template, especially as one race, nor is it really proof it was necessary to have competent...

And it may only be two settlements. I think this was basically kerosene to throw on the fire of people feeling very underwhelmed by how ignore Karaks seem to be here. They're just reskinned human...
