[@hecleas694]

Yes they added 5 new legendary lords and lots of new bugs! But they give an impression of "worker" and touch you with feelings by creating closeness. It's marketing psychology. Don't be a child who stops crying when you give them candy.

[@TheCassual]

@@hecleas694 But if candy is exactly what we want, why not give them positive feedback when they give out the candy? More meaty content drops and more communication have been the two things the community has been asking for and CA are finally starting to deliver, and I'd prefer it stays that way. Letting them know it's a good strat is not us falling for some psychological tricks and you're not more enlightened than the rest of us.

[@madlarkin8]

​@@arkhos3367 agreed, when I first clicked on chaos warriors in the first game and the leader of the unit said: "Warriors of the Gods!" Then the rest of his unit sounded off: "Blood for the Blood God!" And it sounded like a military unit shouting, I knew that I would never get tired of hearing it.

Couldnt imagine a charakter like nagash beeing on a level like squeek headtaker or Karl Franz, who are indeed powerfull but hey, its the later god of death and inventer of the undead, not some powerfull vampire

[@tomas.zentrich]

As many people in the comments have already said, it's very nice to see that a company is taking the time to communicate with the paying customer and give regular updates on how things are going. Doing simply stuff like this really goes a long way. Many of us might be grumpy from time-to-time, but that's just because we've seen you guys put together some great games and want to see you succeed by making more great games. I'm very happy that you guys are still investing time into this game so thank you for your efforts. In all honesty, I really think there is still plenty of money that can be made here with various lord, hero, unit additions (especially for some races that haven't received as much love in recent times) as well as some various race/faction updates. Some could even be done super easily, such as letting us play as the Red Duke, just as an example. People respond really well to unique faction mechanics/objectives (when implemented correctly) and this could be very easy to do, maybe even with some unique units to reflect being in Bretonnia that could easily be reskinned from existing units. And of course there are plenty of other examples out there. Anyway, looking forward to more great content. Cheers!

[@mikevbreugel]

Thank you for the new insights. Keep the new things coming. I'm personally waiting for - Nagash to make his entry, hopefully to get him pop up and unite the undead, vampire factions to get a crisis in of itself. - The zones to fully open up so we get map completion. - Chaos crisis return and basically a crisis for every race. If you play an evil faction you don't have a lot of crisis to go of. - Also some minor mid game crisis to spice up some things. - Siege options, like NO standard ladders to make sieges tough and slow down the game where you have to make them before you start the battle and only a few units get the ladders instead of every unit. Or that you have a map movement option like force march where you have an option to build ladders on the move. - A market system where you can sell and buy items with allies. - One thing I really hope for if possible. A mega map that is like 4x bigger than the current immortal empires map to give faction AI space to grow and hopefully be a tougher nut to crack. Just some ideas.
