Given the recent news I'm hoping CA are looking at as many characters that need it to update as possible! Few hours left on the giveaway for this month you can find the link in the description have a great day guys!

[@LetiferCemetery]

How about we can talk more about behavior and combat AI that could be brought in future patches?

[@svenbrede6151]

oh wow, these characters in well functioning factions could use a rework. *looks at markus wulffhart and the entirety of the vampire coast and especially aranessa who have entire mechanics that just don't work properly and start whimpering*

[@stealthbladeTK]

BEFORE ANYTHING i really would like them to fix Tzeentch Changeling at the very least... Like since WH3 me and the boys had our factions picked and for me fateweaver has been a horrible slog and Changeling has been broken for the complete opposite reason...

[@stealthbladeTK]

Like how can you make and release a brand new dlc race and hes unplayable out of the box...and then release ANOTHER dlc without fixing him... Like they released an update that was supposed to make him discoverable...but it did virtually nothing

Aranessa sucks and is boring, plain and simple.

[@LightninPanda69]

I think the faction "leaders" like Malekith, Franz, Tyrion, etc, would all benefit from easy confederation mechanics for the rest of their faction, at the very least

[@MonkeyMind69]

At the very least indeed. I'd like to see a confederation mechanic across the board, where if an associated faction is wiped out, you have a chance to 'recover' their legendary Lord into your faction. Nothing worse than to be 30-50 turns into the game with plans to confederate another lord, only to find out they were already wiped out by the AI. 🙄

[@Icesong]

That makes far more sense for Alarielle than Tyrion.

[@LightninPanda69]

@@Icesong For lore purposes, I have no argument there. In game, he's the first listed High Elf lord, pushed as a starter campaign for first timers, and he's the only one without a unique mechanic. Not to mention, Alarielle isn't even a base game character.

[@cleshsesh6155]

​@@MonkeyMind69yeah I can't really play without the mod that let's you do that, should definitely be a vanilla concept

Its already easier for Franz tho, with the selector Count mechanic rework. You can spend authority point to force Confederate other imperial faction.

[@noobsenseiii2838]

When Norsca get that dedicated DLC, I hope Throgg gets access to every single troll in the game + a lot of beasts. I also hope he gets philosophical and intelligent voice lines.

[@NaimHrustanovic]

Yeah, when I learned Throgg was actually really intelligent I became very disappointed with his portrayal in TWH. I wonder how GW even allowed it.

[@sinsinsinat5377]

There is a mod for his voice

[@axios4702]

There is a mod for that, I doubt CA will change his voice actor this late into the game.

[@mojotheaverage]

Agreed. Throgg needs to play like the troll king he is, not just wulfrik but with cheaper trolls

[@Gravord85]

Skulltaker will be coming with his head hunt mechanic that could probably be easy to port for Queek. If not CA then some mod will take care of it.

[@gsauwce5488]

All Tomb Kings should be able to beat each other into submission/confederation. Only exception is that you can’t confederate Settra…he simply doesn’t serve

[@sonofangron2969]

I don’t think you should be able to confederate Arkhan with any of the other Tomb Kings. He serves only one master…

[@jjoohhnn6065]

I think a loyalty mechanic could work, in order to emphasize that these LL still are self serving

[@Laid2Rest94]

I think the issue with Tomb Kings confedding is the canopic jars mechanic would break if you get a load of free heroes and lords from an ally. They’d have to rework that to make confeds work

[@vahlen5281]

He's not in desperate need of it, but I'd love Arkhan getting access to some more vampire units, and the lore of undeath. Even his new selection video features crypt horrors despite them not being available to him outside alliance recruitment.

[@RikRiorik]

I’d love me some Arkhan update. Always felt like he’d at least need Vamp Heroes.

[@baris7565]

Morathi needs a proper rework, she has to have some buildings that spread corruption and some anti-corruption. Her voice lines are about Khaine and Phoenix Queen, but she is favorite of Hekarti, but Cult of Pleasure is about Slaanesh / Atharti.

[@christiandauz3742]

Drycha, Morathi and Kemmler should have the option to join Chaos proper and gain new mechanics and units

[@christiandauz3742]

Trecth gains more campaign movement from retreating or chasing retreating enemies in the map Maybe a gambling mechanic in which you spend a lot of gold to risk getting better units

[@NotlostMcTwitchyrat]

[@danielrullmann5131]

Malekith should get the yuan bo matters of state mechanic in a druchii kind of way. I think it would fit pretty well

[@kriegaone3658]

So, Witch Kings Decrees mod?

[@danielrullmann5131]

@@kriegaone3658 yeah exactly what i had in mind 😅

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

I've suggested as much on the forums already, but since tech has changed over the years I suggest changing Azhag's Crown of Sorcery to unlock the entirety of his magic for him instead of just letting you spend skill points on it. It works the same way for Luthor Harkon and I would claim that it makes even more sense for Azhag to have it done this way as he's not a spellcaster in his own right. I would also suggest letting him collect the books of Nagash.

[@dragonslayer2107]

With Boris it definitely makes sense for him and his faction to get stronger as he take out chaos factions. A purification mechanic for him would be interesting. As he takes lands owned by a chaos faction the lands are purified of all Chaos corruption by 25% each turn without having to build a specific building or use a commandment and once it is completely purified it is protected from all corruption in the future as long as he hold it and the land become habitable all other non-chaos races. With Setra he could get something that allows him to lower the cost of the various technology and make it so he can muster armies quicker.

[@Quadnt]

Morathi is one of the most important Chars in Warhammer Fantasy ( And also my favourite Character of the whole franchise) and their is so mutch going on with her. I would love it, if CA would make her faction a big Elf-Slaanesh-Hybrid Faction. And something like a seduction mechanic but not for Units but with heros and Lords. And givin her her unique Spellbreaker Hydra as a Mount would be cool too.

[@olafthemoose9413]

Would be great if she had some big quest/landmarks to unlock more SL units and mechanics. That being said Morathi is already super fun and powerful as is.

[@spacemichael1177]

My boi Louen needs it.

[@AlexGarciaMatthew7-7]

Agreed. Confederation is a waste of a technology tree. By the time you make any headway into it, the factions are gone. Needs a good alternative at the very least.

[@Yide29]

Also The Fey Enchantress, right now picking one of them is just deciding which end of Bretonnia you want to start on with no other real differences.

[@kellymccabe9154]

Brettonia in general needs some love. But yeah, Louen definitely needs some better confederation or something.

[@Ankhtowe]

#1: Daniel

[@BearPawSwipe]

What would you like them to do with him? I wish he was a legendary hero with his current setup where his tech buff armies and he gains gear for himself just toned down a lil. OR I wish he had a corrupted Kislev army with access to some deamons.

[@iielysiumx5811]

I think a quick and easy fix to daniel would be to make more of his item percentage based, meaning you can scale his power more. and allow him to equip standard game items More long term there just needs to be more to do with his devotions and also a way to access all of them by the late game. Would it be OP, Yes, But it would also be very fun

[@Ankhtowe]

He also needs an actual skill tree, and to have a research tree at all. That would be a great start.

[@mirceazaharia2094]

He has a lot of potential. He just needs a tune-up.

[@Malyfous]

@@BearPawSwipe He needs a reworked skill tree, a tech tree, the ability to use items, but most of all, he shouldn't be punished for recruiting daemon units. He's the Daemons of Chaos posterboy, ffs, I shouldn't be forced to recruit mortals.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Queek seriously needs an upgrade as he's my favorite Skaven LL and he deserves to have his own unique mechanic with how great he is, as a character, in-game, and on the tabletop.

[@golgothavirus]

Yes-yes. Queek needs special loyal clan rat and stormvermin. Also Ska as a Mors exclusive hero.

[@Wyattbw09]

It would be pretty easy to make a player made unique Queek mechanic. Take an all melee army. Queek starts each battle at the front line. Run your armies face straight into face of every army you fight.

[@zarrstrudeltributemaker314]

I think all need a mechanic. All the tools are already in the game just tweak and revamp them for people like azhag could get malus possession but with nagash instead of tzarkan

[@Daladun]

Good idea!

[@garryame4008]

I kinda feel like Kostaltyn needs a rework more than Boris, but both are certainly underbaked in their current iteration. That being the case makes the lack of a rework during Shadows of Change sting that much worse

[@papalsaint1571]

Dark Elf slave mechanic really needs a rework. It seems to crash every time at around 60-100 turns in

[@memesofwarhemmer7076]

[@kmanalpha453]

[@RatchildUK]

Aranessa, Khalida, Skrolk, Kroq-Gar, Boris. This is the correct list.

[@christiandauz3742]

Khalida should have the HE influence mechanic and gain big bonuses befriending Order and Neutral factions Khalida should be able to recruit Gotrek and Felix! Maybe a Phoenix for Khalida?

[@leonfriedemann9151]

You forgot kemmler, vlad, isabella, manfred and maybe even ghorst 😁

[@kbobzter]

For Tyrion, he could do the "Visions of the Phoenix King" he could have a similar mechanic to Oxyotl, a mid of a mid-point between Malakai missions & the visions o the Old Ones. The Sanctums would probably be OP though.

[@kriegaone3658]

That would make more sense for Teclis than Tyrion, Teclis is the one who actually can teleport

[@olafthemoose9413]

Honestly just let Teclis collect the books of Nagash. And while you're at it maybe give the mechanic a bit of a polish.

[@marcintomkiewicz4144]

What I would like for Queek is that he had a similar "gathering" mechanics like the Changelling has, although the collected head wouldn't give him a possiblity to change obviously, but rather a small bonus to him or his faction. And then as Nathan suggested, combining 5 "heads" together would give him some small, but significant bonus like Grom's Cauldron or the plagues. And he could be able to switch the skulls around for different bonuses. Or... there could be some programmed bonuses for each race and every skull of the same race would increase it's bonus. Like for example Nurgle's skulls would give some growth (not that skaven need lots of that, but just as an example) - like +10 factionwide for each skull, and having all 3 of them, would give some additional bonus (say another +10 giving +40 in total). Then it could be combined with (say) increased charge bonus from Bretonnian skulls or melee attack from Khorne's skulls.

[@cammykins5813]

One I’d add is Azhag. He’s a Greenskin leader with the freaking Crown of Nagash and all he really has is some Death or Shadow spells and an addition of a Wyvern to his Waagh. He needs more like a spectrum between embracing Nagash and Greenskins, or simply add him to the list of Arkhan and alike that are the Death-aligned in their faction with units as well as spells as he already has.

[@Vernon013]

Can we all just appreciate how BA Malekith's new intro is? :)

[@Skret2]

Belegar is my favorite campaign. I like that you have a goal, starting position is pretty hard (Ikit, Beasmen, Ogres, Greenskins). And the debuff is pretty substancial. Also he buffs rangers and they are the most broken units in the Dawi roster if you give them snipe through Thane.

[@AnMComm]

His problem is he barely has any specialization

[@Skret2]

@@AnMComm He's from game 1.... And he has ranger specialization and is the tankiest lord on Dawi roster by far. we are talking 180+armor and 120+ melee defense + insane resistances + regen. No other Dawi comes close. Rangers are viable till endgame with him. I really like him, and his economy debuff makes him a challange specially if Skarsnik and Wurzag beat Thorgrin and Ungrin, which can happen. ( It did to me now it's 1,5 army vs 12 now :P )

[@olafthemoose9413]

My beloved sniping bugmans. Coolest unit on the dawi roster.

[@benderbendingrodriguez6375]

@@AnMComm I like recruiting miners with blasting charges early on as Belegar before moving on to rangers. He has a landmark that gives them extra recruit rank and his engineer and thane heroes and tunnel warfare skill can buff them. Also vanguarding a bunch of blasting charges in the enemy's face never gets old. IMO it would be cool if there was a special tech or something that also gave them wall breaker.

[@Ausilios]

Love the mod premise of "The Phoenix Court" (High Elf Politics) on the Workshop - an edit and reworked version of the Chaos Dwalf Tower. Something like that for the High Elves would be interesting for the faction IMO for Tyrion, or for the faction in general. The influence mechanics are starting to show their age.

[@D_A_D_]

Would be cool if they blended the tower mechanic with the elector count offices from the original Empire. So instead of just buying a seat, you buy putting one of your lords in a seat, which then provided bonuses to that lord and their army.

[@marcelmaster111]

I mean, when you look at it. Most characters deserve to have a more flavour. My most wanted is Queek, Louen, and Cathay Dragons. One of them is the eldest all powerfull dragon that control storms and has acess to probably a Nuln ripoff but just better. The other is a master alchemist, who should experiment and somekind of moulder flashlab and Harkon crazyness

[@TheLordofMetroids]

Headtaker could even just at like five slots to a trophy rack, And if you kill a legendary lord and equip them there you could double the Legendary Lord defeat trait. It would be a nice simple change for him and I'm sure it would be interesting. Probably lead to some broken combos that I can't think of. We could also see what Skulltaker does and possibly just give him a similar version to that. I do think Skulltaker will do something like this.

[@TobbeLQ]

Malekith honestly doesn't need End Times mechanics. He's the leader of the Druchii, basically their father, and the ONLY thing he has in regards to Dark Elves is allegiance and diplo bonuses. That's it. He's the Witch King! The Black Council is a thing, do something with that, do something that makes it feel like you're actually playing the king of the Dark Elves. Gaining access to High Elf units would be a bonus, but shouldn't be the main focus of his mechanics.

[@charleslister8465]

Agreed - its one of the worst parts of the ET lore and thats saying something....

[@diggytablet]

If leaning into the end times lore for Malekith isnt feasible, id like to see the northern watchtowers added. Flesh out the Great Bastion mechanic or something.

[@Psilocybear]

Hellebron really needs some tweaks and same for Aranessa. Lokhir could also do with some mechanic around his black ark the Blessed Dread

[@gunneratijuf8915]

Skrolk and Queek really just need faction mechanics that are/will be in the game already. For skrolk his crippled plague rat is agonizing watching try to cross the map. Needs Nurgles QoL changes and to be able to manipulate spread, duration, and immunity.

[@Sintan666]

PLEASE Do a Modshowcase on "Nanu's Dynamic Regiments of Renown (Beta)"

[@saltytattie833]

Could be cool to see Tyrion get a mechanic balancing a fall to Khaine maybe along the lines of Malus maybe. The more he is tempted by Khaine the stronger his military might as his elves become more warlike, and the further he strays from Khaine the better his economy, growth, public order. Admittedly I'm not too familiar with FB lore so I don't know how well that would fit in, just sounds cool to me.

[@felipegalesi2543]

As far as tyrion and malekith I think it'd be fun to give them "opposite" progressions, with malekith coming closer to becoming the phoenix king, culminating on him taking lothern which should unlock maybe a special regiment of the mixed black and phoenix guard just for him, and the more of ulthuan he controls (either directly or through vassals or military alliance) the more he can break away from the dark elves need for constant slaughter and slaves, so it could diminish slave penalties as he gets more of a mixed style economy where slaves still help boost it, and help construction, but a lack of wont ruin the economy, letting him "rebuild the lost splendor of the unified elves" he could even go further and have a secondary smaller bonus from conquering or owning the oak of ages, and trully rulling all elvenkind. For tyrion it'd be the opposite, with him getting bloodier and bloodier as he falls down the path of aenarions curse, becoming the ultimate melee lord at the cost of replenishment for his units, and maybe a bonus to global recruitment, where his fame as a "crusader and general" against the druchii, brings elves from all over the world to his armies always keeping fresh blood for kaine, with himself ending as the avatar of kayne, maybe getting bonuses for razing druchii settlements, so a very vengefull and bloody high elf faction themed around raiding and razing and always fighting

[@olafthemoose9413]

Tyrion kinda has that in his skill tree no?

[@NotlostMcTwitchyrat]

@@olafthemoose9413he does. Not to mention you could pick up the sword of khaine.

[@felipegalesi2543]

@olafthemoose9413 He does, and like the other comment said, he can pick up the sword, but all of that is limited, the plan here would be to maximize it, to make his entire faction identity to be around that, not just him the character, give him command of a warhost, a mixed horde faction where he benefits from being far from ulthuan, taking the fight to the enemy, instead of being a defender like eltharion or the everqueen

[@Marmamartha]

Settra Queek and Malakith have 1 solution, add more territories around their starting area. They used to steamroll because of easy expanding, now they cant because they are boxed in. Same goes for Morathi. Morathi was actually quite decent before Ostankya showed up, but when she was placed next to Morathi there is just again the overcrowding. Same goes for Lord Skrolk. He has so many new enemies, with Yuan Bo and Alberic now close to him. Also Lustria has been a crowded sandbox since WH2, and in IE they even removed some settlements....

[@TheThe13used]

been loving norsca with the sfo grimhammer mod with the additional units for sfo mod and the singes additional units for norsca and it has been really fun. you can make it a very long campaign if you do the full tech tree since you have to travel all around the map and a for it and you just buff your marauders through the roof

[@kaelthas9970]

I would like some sort of mechanic that really shows that Malekith is the king and political intrigues of Naggaroth are under his control. I think it would be fun if he could, for example, borrow the high elf court mechanics.

[@CommanderBohn]

Tyrion could get a mechanic where he has to struggle against the Curse of Khaine and his mood whiplashes along with a 2nd mechanic where he can go on defense missions all around Ulthuan. After finishing a mission, he gets access to items and ancillaries, gold and upgraded versions of existing High Elf units (like in pseudo-RoRs akin to the Grudgesettler units the Dwarfs currently have). Malekith could use a political machinations mechanic where he goes maximum cutthroat on the Dread Lords as a form of Empire Management. Settra could have the ability to confederate other Tomb Kings...or simply give confederation options to all TK LLs. But if they try to confederate Settra then he auto-confederates them. And if you do this as a playable TK to Settra, then Settra take over, he becomes the faction leader, changed the colors to his own, renames your faction and you are playing as Settra.

[@shadeblackwolf1508]

How i think DoW need to be inplemented: mini race packs of Tilea, Estalia, Border Princes, rework of Arenessa. Their connecting identity: enhancements to allied recruitment, with a tech tree that provides bonusses to all units of a type hired through allied recruitment, cheaper allied recruitment, and way higher allied unit caps. I think this would be true to their pick and mix unit nature.

Now he doesn't have that, what's the point? Queek, Tretch, and Skrolk too. And then there's the Tomb Kings. Khalida and Khatep in particular, but Settra could use something above a special chariot. And finally Mazdamundi.

[@fumbleweeddumblecock2360]

Honestly, every lord getting a proper mechanic and a proper set of campaign objectives with some written story content (like the Victory Overhaul mod), maybe even an image or two that shows how you obtained that campaign victory, feels like the best way to ensure that any campaign doesn't get mind-numbing after 50 turns. Sadly, I think it will remain up to the modding community...

[@smorphous8928]

I think the lords of Bretonnia are completely fine, but my main concern is if Bretonnia and Norsca would get the spotlight, they’ve hadn’t gotten any new lords and units since warhammer 2, especially Norsca. Seen a mod called soldiers of Bretonnia and the Tribes of the north, that gave really good ideas the developers should think about.

[@eomat]

Heck no High Elves for Malekith. The only Dark Elf I want seeing have access to another race is Morathi with her access to Slaanesh ones.

[@nickdeweert312]

That "tomb Kings need a little bit of a rework" is the understatement of the year. They have no legendary heros, they all have the same faction mechanic. Still Units missing. Khalida is really bad, they never got any new Lord. people say that Bretonnia is abandoned from CA but Tomb Kings are far behind Bretonnia.

The idea that you had with queek. Isn't that what they're doing with the new khorne LL? Or something similar

[@darthplagueis13]

Would you consider doing one about just specific items that don't really act like they ought to in the lore? Like Skarsniks Prodder somehow being an anemic long-range cluster missile instead of an intimidating zapping tool that scales with the amount of nearby units?

[@damienreilly4347]

Malekith getting access to High Elf units doesn't make sense to me I think. I mean the Dark Elves are basically evil versions of High Elves anyway and they suit Malekith. Malekith riding around with these really bright, "good" units would be weird.

Why not give Malekith a mechanic where he can generate a form of diplomatic currency through victories and settlement capture/raze/sack. He could spend this currency to either generate ai armies or force existing Dark Elf factions to attack a specific target. This could apply to individual armies, akin to the military alliance or vassal system, or it could be a timer.

Khalida needs it the most

[@christiandauz3742]

She should be able to recruit Gotrek, Felix and Phoenixes

[@Hauke-ph5ui]

Here are my five picks for characters that need a rework (and no - no Skaven among them. I really don't like playing Skaven as I find both their food mechanic and their loyalty system super annoying and I couldn't care less about them): - Khalida. This faction is in dire need of a rework because the campaign is a struggle and Khalida is the weakest TK lord on top of that. - Aranessa Saltspite. Why exactly does she have to deal with the Vampire stuff? She's not a vampire, her troops (including Aranessa herself) are actually not undead and Sartosa is not a city of the Undead either - it's a pirate city and basically the Warhammer version of infamous Tortuga. She should have a huge emphasis and more diverse roster of living troops with the option to hire a few undead units from the Vampire Coast roster on top of that. - King Louen Leonceur. He lacks any individual mechanics and that's a shame because Bretonnia is an awesome faction. - Vlad von Carstein/Isabella von Carstein. Vlad is technically the Elector Count of Sylvania and should have some access to Imperial politics. - Grimgor Ironhide. Compared to other Greenskins his faction is just bland. I don't think Tyrion needs a rework btw - his campaign is fun as it is and it is also the easiest campaign for newcomers to Total War Warhammer 3 in my opinion. An honorable mention: The Red Duke should be a playable lord with some Bretonnia based mechanics.

Doesn't boris get a benefit for conquering chaos settlements? He gains passive devotion income from that no? Not really an insane mechanic but imo he plays quite different to the Tzarina and the Hobo? Or is that for all Kislev factions?

[@liamcullen3035]

I am all on-board for a headtaker mechanic for Queek! And it sounds like CA devs would like this too. So hopefully it might happen in the future! Edit: maybe while they’re doing Skulltaker’s skull-taking mechanic, they might make a mirrored version for Queek? Maaaaaybe? 😅

[@alagass6466]

The war for 8 peaks would be a fun mini patch

[@JClif]

I wish all game one races would get an update. They really need to update 4:31 norsca, Britannia, vampire counts, Wood Elves, high elves and dark elves.

[@helix450]

clan mors and the whole skaven race should have a trade rats units to each and other. The tomb kings should fix the books. So they are not so far away or fix more books in the world.

[@BearPawSwipe]

Not the list I was expecting! I liked the TK stuff.

[@miguellemir242]

Aranessa desperately needs an in-depth rework

[@christiandauz3742]

Just don't expect her to leave the VC Sigvald stayed in the WOC despite getting Slaanesh mechanics

[@blodstainer]

I think Skrolk needs way more of a boost than Queek, but ultimately I think these sort of improvements gotta come from modding

[@sonofangron2969]

They should make Wulfrik into a travelling horde faction with special ‘seek-and-destroy’ missions. Basically the Chaos equivalent of Oxyotl’s campaign mechanic…

[@charleslister8465]

Boris really should support his daughter....I really really really hope we don't get ET - stick with the Storm of Chaos as they have been doing. Much better and lore friendly to have Vlad have the Emperor mechanics but Malekith needs something.. Agree on the heads for head taker :) Settra def should be able to confed the others. Tyrion really should have voice lines and some kind of link to Alaerielle - adventuring for him makes great sense.

[@hircenedaelen]

Malakith should never get high elves

[@kriegaone3658]

Nah he definitely should, even if we forget the End Times

[@liamcullen3035]

Nah, Malekith shouldn’t get a “uniting the high and dark elves” mechanic, in my opinion. That undermines the core dynamic of the high and dark elves. I get it for the end times, but I wouldn’t want it here. Instead, I think he should get a dominance kind of mechanic that lets him bully the other dark elves, like Tamurkhan gets. Something that lets him force other dark elves to accept deals and confederations, and to give them war coordination targets without having alliances with them. I think that would suit our pre-end-times Malekith much better.

[@MrTbomb52]

Would you do a video on the best overhaul mods for the factions you mentioned?

[@kriegaone3658]

I can give you a list for Dark Elves

[@dutchicecream8413]

I feel like Tyrion is fine as is, seeing how he is the perfect intro character to the game.

[@tylermayer4467]

14:02 Tretch catching some strays.

[@milliliters930]

Hey Teclis also needs a rework too! Teclis is supposed to lead the premier school of magic in the lore, so how does Gelt's faction know more about magic than Teclis'?????

[@SkullivanBones]

Tomb kings upsets me because i point out that their early game feels fukken atrocious, but everyone always responds "BuT tHEy StOmP LAtE gAMe!!!" Im just like every faction can stomp late game, that really doesn't matter that much...

[@karlsonkopfspalter3127]

regarding Boris, do i have to unlock him in the "realms" campaign. It didn´t work in immortal empires

[@revpembroke3082]

Yes, but there's a mod that unlocks him for free and that's much easier

"Sometimes mods have issues". Unfortunately, so does the vanilla stuff a lot of the time. Seems everytime CA fixes something, they break three other things. Just look at Thorgrim on the campaign map since the latest update 🤦

[@andresr.viguera9791]

Seeing the race panel with no space left for new races makes me so sad

[@gregoryshinn9805]

Thanks for the video

[@jonasfull]

Queek is the ONLY good skaven for beginners because he has the least amount of mechanics and unlike tretch is actually quite good

[@cap258]

Boris Ursus should just have immunity to chaos area curroption for all armies not only his own. Confederation should be possible for every faction.

[@rebellars60]

I hope lizardmen get some love (Tehenhauin) since they are not really in a good spot mechanic wise IMO.

[@jeanmmm8171]

Yes yes! Pesrilens needs a more Nurgle like mechanics. Give plague to pestilens unique units. A make the enemies infected.

[@zebjensen4251]

I hope we get another dyory campaign or two. Or even getting the eye of the vortex campaign ported to three for those like me who like story campaign.

[@TAB_100]

I think Boris is OK but he should somehow get more rewards through the mechanics (for example, confederating both if he has held the balance) and Tyrion is good as he is. I would like more like tyrion (just in other places in the world)

[@marcsutton1751]

Malekith doesn’t need a rework, he’s a one man army by level 12

[@krankarvolund7771]

Okay, I get that End Times is supposed to be canon, but CA said they stopped before End Times, and if you're gonna adapt End Times, take the good stuff (nagash returns, new units) and leave the stupid stuff in the trash like Malekith becoming the Phoenix King! XD Especially if it's to let Malekith recruit high elves spearmen turn 60, that's a boring and uninteresting mechanic ^^'

[@Raheghar]

After Gelt Teclis need something similar. And better climate for dealing with Kairos or change position.

[@jimhagglof217]

I think Boris should be combined with Katarin in the same way that Vlad/isabell was, ideally i would then also move ostankya to stormwrack mount (just so her whole mechanic of needing contact with the other factions dont tie her down so much) Queeks skull hunting is a good idea, another would be to have him have those movement resets that khorne gets but only if he doesnt ambush (would make for intressting decisions on how to best expand etc) Skrolk clearly need plagues but i also think his personal skill line and both faction and lord effects could use a update, upkeep reduction is nice and all but on a single lord for relatively late game units its abit on the weaker and more importantly boring side.

[@christiandauz3742]

Not gonna happen Boris will still be his own faction

[@Meatshield108]

Queek needs his best friend Ska Bloodtail added to the clan Mors roster as a hero!

[@sinsinsinat5377]

Make Kostaltyn a bit more special, he needs a unique mount....maybe as a mount option make him have devotees bodyguards following him and be a group of five entity unit.

[@MonkeyMind69]

I would have liked to have seen changes with Skaven clan Pestlins during the Thrones of Decay, since they're so synergistic with the plagues that the Nurgle factions can dish out. 🤢🤮🤧
