Can You Beat Total Warhammer 3 Using Only Dwarven Guns?

Dwarfen Guns are... perfectly balanced.
IMO Thrones of Decay sets the new standard for DLC's. By far the best one in a while. Malakai in particular is extremely cool - I might do Artillery Only with him relatively soon.
High Elf Melee Only / Forcing Elves to Fight Like Men should be dropping within the next 10 days as well! The drought is over and I've set some things up to allow myself to make videos faster in the future.

On the grapeshot cannons: No, the rune of burning is not why they are overpowered. They are overpowered because they are REALLY overpowered. That Ammo train mission was hard carried for me with just the cannons. Single target the big stuff, and then when they tried to cross the bridge I switched to grapeshot and took out the entire army in about 2 or maybe 3 salvo's with 4 cannons.

[@KowalSonn]

Cannon adventure was the first adventure I took because it made the most sense objective-wise. I quit the campaign at turn 15. I was playing as aggressive as possible and was under no threat ever, it was the least challenging campaign I've ever tried. In most of the battles 90% of the enemies were dead from cannons by the time Spirit of Grugni was summonable. At least with Ikit or Elspeth I felt like those upgrades got stronger over time so i got something to look forward to. With Malakai's cannons I didn't feel like playing anymore when at turn 7 I'm getting a doomstack. Maybe if I went Gyros i would've had more fun

[@robertcerniglia2616]

[@IAmTravesty]

Oh yeah and it's not just the rune of burning. They can do that kind of damage from turn 5 when you unlock the adventure and then never fall off.

[@Arbiterjim]

Malakai was never a coward. He just thought the Slayer Oath was a relic of a different time and a symptom of the decline of the Dawi. He took the Oath because he was forced to, but he never intended to follow through because he thought it was wrong for ANY Dawi to seek death. There's few enough of them already and he wanted them to grow with the times. Hence why he and Franz got along so well

[@1ManRandom]

Facts. I once sent around 6 of those things into a settlement and within moments of reaching firing range three enemy units were routing, another was half-dead, and the wall had been knocked down by complete accident. I didn’t even know their main guns could damage walls until then. Honestly, they could use a nerf, but you won’t see me complaining to CA about it. The only weaknesses I can see from them are their cost, their autoresolve performance, and the fact they can’t land, which isn’t really that bad compared to their damage output. Honestly, all you really need are 3 or 4 before your army becomes nigh unstoppable.

“That might be part of why they’re overpowered.” No, that’s just kinda how the Grapeshot Cannons work. It’s balanced out by their value also usually coming from turning your own frontline into paste as well.

[@Littlelostdragon]

True, your front line is either hero's (which will get hit) or none at all..... cause if you had one, the cannons just fire "To who'm this may concern" volley's be it your front line, the enemy, and they have grudges against air in general too.

[@stemy12]

Lorewise it kinda makes sense that malakai, and by extension the other ranged slayers, use powerful guns, as the skayer oath states that you must die fighting a worthy foe, but you must do so by giving it your all and fighting your best, so if say a thunderer or artillery team had to take the oaths, their all would be turning the enemies into swiss cheese while hoping one is strong enough to endure and kill them Actually kinda sad when you rhink about it

[@simonmalmstrom9593]

I have said it before and I will say it again. There is nothing in TWW that is as satisfying as watching any gun, cannon, artillery unit just mowe down enemies before they even get a hit off. There just nothing that can compare to watching a line of guns turn your enemies into mist.

By the way for anyone curious the reason Malakai took the slayer oath is because he built a ship called the Unsinkable which sank on its first trip and a Thunderbarge called the Undestructible which exploded and a lot of lives were lost because of this. Also Gotrek doesn't like him much because despite his slayer oath he became a teacher in the main Nuln Gunnery School instead of charging head first into a trolls open mouth.
