[@sabertoothedmonk9830]

The biggest issue with confederations was that often they would scale out of control cause the AI would lose a settlement then get it back and get like 2000 to 3000 grudges, this then would scale out of control and then you would need to get 200000-500000 just to confederate like 2-7 settlements.

@@amadeuszjankowski9212 Like I said, I like having them, especially when autoresolving. I know they are not the best fighters, they are not supposed to be (just like runesmiths and thanes). I used to think like you. If they would be way stronger, there wouldn't be a reason to recruit the captain other than the mount. And engineers definitely seem more useful in most cases, but if I put them in a melee cavalry army, they are literally only there for campaign movement. Definitely prefer a priest there in that case. So, yes, I still prefer having a a warrior priest and I don't think they are useless at all, they are just not someone who can take out a monster on their own usually.

[@andresr.viguera9791]

That they are patching so often gives me hope that they are really caring and focusing on Total War Warhammer 3 and probably will enlarge its useful life

[@jackeriksen6753]

lol, is this the solution for furies not "hitting" tunderbarges on the run? The problem is really age old, the fact that charge attacks simply do not hit at certain speed, due to the animation delay. It's because the hit area starts at the animation starting point, by the time the animation ends that might be behind you. Impact damage might still happen though if the target is smaller. You can actually see this on certain "fast" heroes chasing routed units if they got a splash animation visualized on ground, they attack backwards on the run and will allways miss. I belive this is the same reason Bretonias wedge formation allways do more damage even if CA Duck insisted that normal formation had bigger "surface". He is right on paper, the issue is the animations only hit if they penetrate deep,.

[@jacobsampsonis7782]

They still need to do something about where the grudge settler army spawns. It becomes useless so fast in a Grombrindal campaign since it spawns in the back corner of the map. Either need to be able to move your capital settlement like in other total wars, or just choose which settlement it spawns at, or even just next to your LL would be fine but maybe a little OP

[@navelwarfare3247]

In the co-op Malakai campaign I'm currently doing with a friend thw grudge settler army spawns *at* Malakai. Haven't done another dwarf campaign, but it's at least useful for him.

Hopefully the playerbase has been permanently "scarred" by the past year and refuse to allow CA any slack from now on. You don't give a company this big with this bad of a track record slack, this has been a laughable rollercoaster and only pushing back hard against any future negative change will give this game a chance of continuing to succeed.

[@CP3oh322]

15:10 "Fix" and "Fixed" probably just because the list is copy-pasted from notes sent by various producers or leads who have different ideas of the syntax. Production is messy that way. Also, things like trying to keep naming conventions consistent across hundreds/thousands of work files, exports and engine assets is like trying to herd cats.

[@jmicjr304]

Anyone else have issues with the empire skill trees? Generals gold experience skill bonuses apply to troops that arnt gold lvl yet and the empire captain doesn’t seem to buff melee defense even though his skill says he buffs it. Weirdly enough his melee boost applies just fine though.

Nice to see TAA related fix at least for some weapons to be less blurry. gives me hope that CA will do something more to polish it's abysmal TAA implementation :)

[@adriankoch964]

They really need to get DLSS/FSR FG into their game. Slow games like TW are ideal for frame generation, since 1-2 frames of extra input lag do not matter as much as with FPS games.

[@IDSR_69]

@@adriankoch964 anything would be appreciated. I just wish they did not convert to DX12 and we still would've had DX11 with MSAA. It was tanky but it got the job done without ghosting. DX12 is really so underutilized by CA that I even wonder why they bothered to convert :D

[@blbprime11]

This is honestly a really good change. As the Dawi, it felt like I needed to OVER expand rather quickly in order to hit that 50%. By turn 30, i was past eight peaks and moving into Wurrzags territory with only 3 armies basically overextending myself. This caused me to be at war with several factions with not enough reach to cover all front lines, but i had to continue, or else the next 10 turns were going to suck. I do like that they are supposed to be aggressive, but the system was so demanding i actually let queek just take a shit load of my territorys back so he could rack up the points for a bigger payout.

[@Alex-mn1fb]

Did they fix the fact that Katarin is the only Ice spellcaster without her iconic Ice Shard bound ability now, even in the campaign? That annoys me so.

[@armyantsrule]

Could you suggest they maybe look at fixing the range on the Dwarf Master Engineer grudgeraker option?

Lol, I've finished Malakai campaign (shorterm goal) just yesterday and it was a blast. I did find Elgi strangly punishing for the commitment it required (those Grudge Settlers can be a huge strain on economy), but on the other hand the system encouraged aggresive playstyle (usually I hit somewhere around 70%, and managed 100% only one time), which is what this game is actually about. I find myself a casual TW gamer and play on Normal and didn't find this overly hard or punishing - was surprised it got such a negative feedback that it required a fast hotfix.

[@theFirstAidKit]

By far the biggest issue in the game right now is the difficulty scaling. I play on very hard/very hard and my campaigns are simply snowballing out of control every time at around turn 30-40. I wish CA could take a serious look into the enemy AI and scaling. It feels like there is a humb in each difficulty setting that once you cross it, it's just way too easy, only thing the difficulty setting affects is when that hump is crossed. And because the enemy armies are so weak, they simply run around you and half the time you are just trying to catch them while they sack your settlements. What I noticed in my Malakai campaign was that at the start the grudges were too easy to gain. Got max tier twice in a row to begin with, which allowed me to snowball from the start quite quickly. With that snowballing I revealed a lot of the map while economy was lacking behind due to growth and money issues. Then I simply didn't have enough money to create more armies, so the next two ages were tier 1 and 2. However, the early snowballing got me enough regions to develop so that once I got the buildings going there was simply no stopping. Got way over max grudges every 10 turns after that. I hit long campaign victory by turn 55 and owned almost 200 settlements by turn 70. I had about 30 active armies in the end. I didn't even get to recruit Thunderbarges (other than the few from adventures) since the growth is so slow compared to the campaign progress.

Maybe they can fix the laziness that is the character traits for Nurgle heroes soon. All the traits for lords and heroes use the same trait. The problem is that the traits, fx Plagueist, is tagged as Lord's army. This makes the trait straight up not work. Unbelievable that such a thing is not caught in testing. The steps to reproduce is "Recruit hero, embed in army, look at stats." If anyone here cares about this, please go to the bug forum and upvote the issues regarding this. The fix is so simple, a mod already exists that fixes this. They just need to duplicate the traits, make the heroes use the hero version, and change the tag to hero's army.

In the patch without surprises, what I expected, nerfs for much of the new content and most of the content that I thought was going to be nerfed is actually nerfed. The biggest surprise is that Nuln inrosides lower the price. The land ship unchanged for the moment. Another surprise, but minor. It's funny that the frost wyrm is now some kind of Kislev carnosaur. I'm surprised Mistwalkers' accuracy was reduced so much, it wasn't a powerful ability to begin with. At least Eltharion will be able to continue enjoying the additional hit points in gryphon.

[@rantymcrant-pants9536]

The pool reduction is so they act less like the undead, being able to just spawn whole armies

[@fisch3392]

When do you think the next patch will be? Should I wait to start a campaign!?

[@FrashLemon]

The ice wyrm still does not cause any damage to the infantry, despite its anti-infantry animations, this is a diagnosis.

[@TheBeefwacker]

How does malakai die, does he die on the mountain with gustav?

[@DECIMATOR69]

The fact they even focused on nerfing some faction mechanics is sad to me like the steam tank one thats just fun for the player

[@diffuusio4852]

When they use the word "fix" instead of "fixed" it is about what the patch does. Not what the patch did. It kind of makes sense to me even though the patch is now out.

[@bergvdkhx]

I wish they would have fixed the age of reckoning coop campaign, once your ally has grudges it gets tough

[@JetstreamKage]

Interesting that thunderbarges didn't get nerfed into oblivion

[@battlemode]

Yeah good patch, great CA are pushing these out a lot faster.

[@YellLAG]

I was trying to resurrect a faction the other day as skaven and sent my heros to disrupt the province and even with 3 points in the spread control I couldn’t get the public order penalties to kick in I was just wondering if anyone has had that issue recently

[@YellLAG]

Also when I moved them back into friendly territory I got the public order buffs but when I walked them back into the AI territory nothing

[@MrEddieLomax]

Will try out a thunderbarge again tonight, question is: Can they solo complete armies still? If Bretton's with 2*flying knights plus missiles can't damage them then the game is still broken. I don't play MP, but prob is I would find playing such an OP unit boring, and more importantly very frustrating to face.

[@patrikules1937]

Man I was so worried that the dwarfs were going to be like the Empire when imperial authority was added. 2 weeks for a fix? Dang, CA is impressing me. Which is a statement that definitely wasn't on my 2024 bingo card...

[@jovimbeee]

No longer having the volley gun upgrades apply to the volley gun tank is tragic

[@Supercohboy]

Granted, their reasoning is sound, I can't think of any other unit that got to "double dip" in the past, beyond unintentional stuff/bugs.

[@jovimbeee]

@@Supercohboy imagine praising nerfs in a single player game

[@calebbarnhouse496]

​@@jovimbeeedumbass take, nerfs aren't bad in single player games, if you don't nerf things will just get buffed until the problem unit is effectively nerfed and everyone will have stats that look like a max level Korean MMO

[@Duranous.]

The grudges are improved but the great book of grudges... remains full.

[@jacawandersmok9043]

Fast fix of dawi mechanick gruge is settlle ;]

[@lux-px2fp]

Huge update for the short dawi

[@lux-px2fp]

I forgot to add Nathaniel to the comment

[@Inugamirukazu]

SHOOORT?!

[@alextimemit9454]

​@@Inugamirukazu thaaats a grudgin

[@miloradlukic9277]

They also nerfed Thunderburner, barge is now good, its weak against artillery and missiles and it cannot rely to heavily on speed boost

[@AsiniusNaso]

Rip Formula 1 volleygun tank :(

[@weaponier4301]

So, I'm not usually one for complaining, the devs and the modders especially try really hard. BUT ... 5.0.3 broke so many of my favorite mods right in the middle of my 2nd Elspeth campaign going for my 1st legendary empire victory (i normally play VH/N), I had FINALY started to break out of the slog fest. I tried rolling back, but that didn't work as most of the mods have already been "patched". It's mostly stuff like the LH Mods and other hero type mods that aren't working now, they crash right to desktop before even getting to the title screen. Not TRYING to wine, I can certainly still play other mods or campaigns, just hope this gets fixed soon.
