[@Eclipsed_Embers]

@@syndrom5818 Tomb Kings are in a pretty good spot to be honest. their biggest flaw in game 2 was that their Heroes were hard capped by their tech tree but CA fixed this in game 3 by letting you just get more hero slots from the Mortuary Cult. they aren't the strongest race in the game by any stretch but they at least don't have the bad/non-functional mechanics of Norsca and Bretonnia or the relative lack of mechanics of the Vampire Counts, High Elves, Dark Elves, and Lizardmen.

You know the leveling system that warrior of chaos have that you can upgrade units to an higher tier? Well wouldn't it be nice if Bretonnia get a similar mechanic? Chivalry could become some sort of currency that let you do cool stuff. And vows needs to be less tedious.

[@simondiebolt5354]

Errantry wars would be so easy to implement as well, with some rewards to make your characters actually feel like superhuman Grail Knights. And Bretonnia really only has 2 generic characters with the Paladin Lord/Hero and the Damsel Lord/Hero. If they don't get anything they'ss literally be the worse faction in that department... a shame.

I think ladders could stick around, but you should have to specifically equip them to units pre-battle, which should cost money, have a cap, and units carrying ladders should be slowed and used more vigour until they either place the ladders or ditch them. Also, characters shouldn't carry them.

If Lizardmen is included I am all for it :D But I think Cathay has had more than enough attention for a bit now.

[@sickgeezersully8751]

i personally think they will probs throw in the next dragon for cathay as a free LL, hoping an older faction gets the next dlc

[@draconomega]

First of all, it's unlikely they would do a faction dlc, a lord pack AND a rework of elfs and lizardmen all together. That is straight up impposible unless they delay the next dlc by a *lot* , and they have already said they don't want to do DLCs of this scope anymore. So either they will see a faction pack (Dow, Kuresh, ind, etc) or we will get a lord pack (maybe of 3 factions *if* ToD does so well, that they feel comfortable doing such heavy work)

[@sickgeezersully8751]

So glad they answered my question about vanilla LL mechanics! Really love the Gelt and Empire campaigns now. Having unique mechanics with it's own campaign UI panel is something that every LL should have, otherwise DLC ones would always be superior

I am glad you asked that question, I would do it myself but I wasn't aware about Q&A. I've literally write something about 6 comment about that :) It was more about race leaders because I felt they should be first but besically mechanic for any lord is great. Thorgrim man, he should get something with ToD...

[@aRadianceRed]

I was surprised to see my question about Wizard lords answered...and even moreso for it to be in your video 😂 keep up the awesome content. This also makes me hopeful that Wizard Lords may come, since we're still missing the Celestial Hurricanum.

[@amvhate]

ladder are not the only problem with seiges it is map design as well. Also give defender better traps to use. tend to find barricades useless most of the time

[@Project129]

Honestly, out of all the races that 'need more' I think the Ogres need it most. I think taking a look at things seriously Skrag and Greasus need different campaign focuses with Greasus wanting to be the Overtyrant and main king of all ogres/best mercenary while Skrag should be focused on more of a campaign with missions focused on getting the biggest/best sacrifices for the Great Maw in Immortal Empires. Quest Battles for 'The Greatest Feast' could include recycled/changed Quest Battles for Norsca Monster Hunting or the like where he's hunting only the greatest beasts or even Legendary Lords for great offerings for the Maw. For Greasus the focus instead is him fighting the other tribes, Greenskins, really anyone who would cause him trouble. A Chaos Dwarf Priest of Hashut thinking he can bring his firepower to bear and crush you beneath his heel? Your ambush in the mountains should solve his stupid little attempt! Crush his artillery and attack his units as they attempt to scramble to reinforce the poorly defended end of their army! A Greenskin lord thinks he's the biggest? He hasn't met you. Crush him under your girth and show him who the real boss is! Those uppity Ogre Tribes still think they can look down on you? Well, I guess you need to show them one last time who the real boss is. For mercenary contracts I think taking from Oxyotl in deployment method is wise, but the mechanics while out there is what needs to be changed. You will get contracts from far and wide of various armies and factions that pay gold per turn, meat, and maybe faction-unique items into the pot to draw your attention and aim you at a specific faction. You accept the contract, assign an army to it, and then the army is teleported away to the edge of your client's territory and your faction becomes temporarily at war with the faction in question. Attacking their armies and territories you get small bonuses for victories over armies, but big bonuses as you take their settlements and either raze them or hand them over to your client. At the end of the amount of turns the army is recalled back, you get your final payment/items, and the 'at war' status is ended.

[@fredbrochu8322]

I'd like people opinion on this one. How about an option to limit your army value in campaign just like in multiplayer? I feel that it would make lower tier unit and the skills that buff them relevant and make sure that you can't really steamroll the map with a doomstack in endgame, so it add a layer of dificulty.

[@DerSteppenwolf1979]

That is something this game desperately needs. Not new toys

[@calebbarnhouse496]

It would be a good option, but it brings the question of how upkeep reduction would work, and would definitely need to be a toggle option

[@mikkelangelokers9965]

More unit caps maybe?

[@Woodception]

​@@calebbarnhouse496Unit upkeep should be changed to unit logistics in this mode with each upgrade raising the cap of available points. Best case would be an auto unlock like mounts and immortality to give higher lvl lords access to more high tier units in their armies and units with the expendable trait being excluded from this mechanic.

[@resileaf9501]

With the caveat that legendary lords should be able to field armies of higher value. Legendary lords vs legendary lords should make for the most epic battles after all!

[@0815UserII]

The confederation question is also interesting for any implementation of Nagash they may want to do. His whole thing is that he subjugates all the undead factions, so if they manage to get this working for something like the Chaos factions, having Nagash as his own faction with three confederation mechanics for Vampire Counts, Vampire coast and Tomb Kings would be a logical next step.

[@lewishorsman2219]

Considering lore-wise the rats fucked over the lizardmen real good by polluting the spawning pools, the geomantic web could get a rework that completely nullifies plagues coming to lustria. I don’t think it should work elsewhere though. Brettonia could get a errant war mechanic whereby you reach a certain amount of Greenskin/beastmen/chaos armies beat and you can summon an errant army that’s OP as hell but degrades over 10 turns and you can spawn it anywhere you want. Repanse could get a mechanic where she can request units from the homeland to continue her errantry wars. Similar to the above. She can unlock units by completing errant contracts given out by Leoncouer. Similar to the GBoG. Vlad should get an opposite of the Elector Counts mechanic. You install vampire/undead lords into each elector state and you can get vampiric state troops. But here’s the kicker! You can get gunpowder units this way! Not artillery but riflemen & co! Those can only be unlocked when the whole of the empire is conquered!

I wished someone asked a question regarding lore enforcement by GW (referencing the lack of generic hag lord and lore spells as well as the tzaangor beastmen beak issue). Will GW retain this tight of creative control for future dlcs? Or will CA argue for more wiggle room?

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

as a general rule it's seemed like GW has been squeezing harder for races that appear in The Old World, probably because they want Total War Warhammer to basically act as advertising for the models that they're going to try selling. as such I'd expect a lot of GW intervention when it comes to Warriors of Chaos, Kislev, Bretonnia, Tomb Kings, Dwarfs, Greenskins, Beastmen, Wood Elves, and High Elves whilst CA will probably retain greater levels of freedom for factions The Old World has excluded (Daemons, Dark Elves, Vampire Counts, Vampire Coast, Lizardmen, Skaven, Ogres, Norsca, and Cathay)

[@sickgeezersully8751]

what does everyone think the next few dlcs will be? They talked about expanding the map so ind and kuresh soon?

[@alrightthen7gotem458]

I want Khuresh so bad but I highly doubt it. Both races have so little lore even less than Cathay. The only reason they decided to flesh out Cathay so much is because it had a huge appeal to the chinese market. I’m hoping for the best but I’m giving it a 20% at best of ever happening.

Vampire counts please, need to make them unique again, skeletons and zombie units should be sacrificed into making seize ladders and towers when in battle. Also zombies from other races! A day / night mechanic would be great as would a full moon buff. Skeletons harder to destroy with arrows and sword units but easier with blunt weapons. The more zombies around a unit the slower that unit attacks simulating the press of bodies. Lords have unique abilities to teleport or turn to mist, bats for fast movement etc. Bring the horror back into the undead.

[@ecargfosreya]

I feel like to make the world feel bigger in the simplest way is they shoould cut everyones movement range in half. because as is... its way too easy to steamroll and it would slow down some races that expand too rapidly and its doesnt need to be exactly half but some tweaking so it gives more time to build up and longer to march from city to city giving more time in the field and less sieges back to back.

@@lachlain4070 ehehe... yeah, I've been saying that to a lot of people (I've not actually been copying and pasting though, I have at least typed it out each time to leave the potential for minor differences, and at least the person I'm copying is myself)

About empire staff - it is a shame Volkmar was released in WH 1 early, when CA was still learning. Now he would likely get most of faith related units Empire has instead of just two units and one lord. But well, if that means CA still have content to work with and add...

I am just here for more High and Wood Elf stuff.

I just can’t wait for a Ogre Kingdoms DLC

*THINGS THAT WILL IMPROVE GAMEPLAY* #1 reduce movement range of armies by at least 25% #2 double garrison sizes in all settlements #3 remove siege ladders from units so that siege towers are needed to attack walls. sieges dont feel hard or grand because they are way too easy to attack and take and garrisons are way to small and weak... garrisons should have minimum of a 20 stack in a cities garrison.

[@zachariahjonahmaldonado5897]

Keeping Karl Franz vanella so he can be a starter faction makes no sense because here's the thing, you're only going to be a new player for your first few games. So it doesn't matter if the factions are more or less newbie friendly, just pick your favourite and go. You'll figure it out eventually.

[@joshuadisotell1388]

In rumors the next dlc could be purple chaos vs dark elves vs high elves or purple chaos vs dark elves vs vampire counts or purple chaos vs high elves vs vampire counts or purple chaos vs bretonia vs vampire counts or purple chaos vs dark or high elves vs bretonia it big question or they go a different way it look like big Custer buck to me

[@Fratnip]

Monkey King, Neferata, Ogors next hopefully

[@Kevlord22]

They removed repeaters from war wagons too now.

[@Seba-rr3dx]

Nice to hear to look to confederations. Would hope Settra and Khalida could join instead of being forced to fight each other by the victory conditions. By the way: can Karl Franz confederate Volkmar now, or is it still impossible?

[@danielgloyd4529]

I just want Vampires and Lizardmen updates. Everything beyond that doesn't really hold my interest, as all my favorites have pretty much gotten done already or already feel fine to play.

[@WoodenViking]

But it holds mine

[@akahdrin]

I want to see Bretonnia get the business in terms of a rework.

[@skierus_maximus]

I reallly hope Vlad get a proper rework were he became a mixed fraction of Vampire Counts and Empire

[@pokinginpractice9108]

Nippon will probably the last big faction dlc?

[@reddestdragon]

Still slightly miffed they didn't mention anything about the slayer pirates being recruitable by Sartosa. At this point I don't think they are.

[@biglion8468]

It would be cool if grimgor could confederate greasus.

[@howdareyouexist]

vampire counts next please

[@yourkoreanbuddy1]

Were there any questions regarding lizards during the Q&A?

[@shark_2283]

Really hope the next dlc goes the game 12and 3 route. Not sure witchbgame 3 race should get the dlc but there are fans of the game 3 races so. But for 1 vampires just need more depth in the systems not total reworks snd game 2 the races just are mostly the and need yhe mechanics to scale better or do a little bit more. Like slaves for the dark elves or the geomagnetic web for lizardmen.

[@stealthbladeTK]

I really hope they go with the Mini Race packs, I NEED ALBION!!! im totally fine with Albion only having like 1-2 lords thats fine... just make them epic and give them a solid themed roster, even if its a lot of different infantry with just a few monsters... its fine its ok just give us epic unique celts in warhammer just port over celts from Rome 2 and add a few druids BAM! lol plz!

[@ZombifiedNappa]

Vlad needs the elector mechanic with the ultimate goal of getting the Warhammer as his weapon, which of course should be called "Ghoul-Maraz." Them saying they're making progress towards maybe cross-culture confederation gives me hope.

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

they've mentioned ideas for cross-culture confederation in Q&As dating all the way back to the Champions of Chaos DLC (I remember rather distinctly because I was the one that had asked the question, mainly bringing up the idea of N'kari confederating Azazel and Sigvald or vice versa (as a note, even though they're both WoC LLs Azazel can't confederate Sigvald and Sigvald can't confederate Azazel, and yet Archaon and Be'lakor can confederate both of them)). it's been over a year and a half since then and seemingly nothing has come of it so far so I wouldn't put too much hope into it

[@ZombifiedNappa]

@@Eclipsed_Embers Depends on events going forward. In the meantime I recommend the console commands mod to forcibly confederate Slaanesh's beautiful boys.

Sieges need a big rework, they feel so horrible to play currently both as a defender and an attacker

[@darkagerush3098]

I didn't like the response about buying in parts. Sounds like they did it now to win back trust and shore up their sales, but will drop it if they get confident again.

[@rynemcgriffin1752]

I do agree but let’s just give them a bit of the benefit of the doubt, if they keep it up and hold themselves to the standard they’ve set then great but if not, there are better things we can do.

[@darkagerush3098]

@rynemcgriffin1752 Why would we do that? The only reason things have pulled up at all is because shadows of change scared them. Wh3 has been one giant cut corner up til now. And thats only changing because SoC shit the bed, and they're afraid of losing the cash cow. CA is a giant soulless company, not a person down on their luck. There's no doubt that if they think they can reliably extort the dlc, they'll do it.

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

to be fair they stated right from the start (like in the exact same announcement where they first said that they'd be doing this for Thrones of Decay) that it was just something they were doing for this specific DLC and that they didn't currently have any plans to extend it to any other past or future packs.

[@IlGrandeMagazzi]

maybe im coping but i think that the 4-6 dlc leaks is starting to look less and less a thing

[@simondiebolt5354]

It was always bullcrap anyway, if TOD sells super well then they'll keep producing content as long as it's profitable. The leaks are just about what's guaranteed I think. The situation was very bleak with SOC but CA has no other source of revenue atm, so they have to invest in TW3 (which they did, clearly with this patch/DLC).

[@CHILLERNICKELLS]

@@simondiebolt5354 until they can leave ship for 40k

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

that 4-6 DLCs thing was probably based on the idea that DLCs would sell as badly as Shadows of Change. if Thrones of Decay sells as well as it looks like it might (and it's frankly looking like it might sell better than the Chaos Dwarfs did) we will probably get a fair few more DLCs

[@abbald]

It would be cool if they would split up the Shadow of Change DLC. I'm not ready to pay for it. Only Cathay gets enough reworked to be somehow worth it to play again. So it would be cool to be able to buy them independently.

[@riccardocorradini6713]

the empire treatment should be made across ALL factions, even in a budget form. there are plenty of lords one would never play because they have the vanilla mechanics while other on the same race have those + their DLC unique mechanics....like why ever do a Khazrak campaign when he is the most boring LL in existance and Taurox even has unique mechanic? same goes for many other factions. make all LL feel unique even in 1 small way for their campaign

[@euychua]

7:30 I don’t think it’ll be monkey king unless it’ll be a Kingdoms of Ind dlc since SoC just updated Cathay’s roster and that seems too soon, Unless whoever he is bundled are like Skaven lol

[@freedomfighter22222]

I personally hope it wont be a Cathay focused dlc, so many other factions and races need some attention before more Cathay stuff.
