The problem with the WH3 UI was not that it was all red... It's that it was all the same color. Everything is one color and there's nothing setting different elements apart like skill tree lines, construct destruct counters for buildings, etc.

[@BushidoKyn]

Agreed 100%. Custom race UI adds so much more to the feel of the campaign, and can break up the block of colour that is the current WH3 UI.

[@shaw815]

After 10 minutes, no one notices, stop exagerrating the issue. I would much rather they use the considerable resources it would take to add a unique UI again for each faction and instead use that for more meaningful content.

@@Sletchman Hope that extended to the RGB Keyboard Colours for the factions and races and its now mod friendly.

The problem with the Eight Peaks race, wasn't just how far the participants started from it. It was more so the fact that it was very lacking mechanically. The only mechanics involved were a heavy debuff at the beginning, and a very minor buff and a meh unique building when capturing 8 peaks. When people talk about how they want the race reworked, they aren't talking about changing the start positions, they are talking about making the race more mechanically engaging and rewarding at the end.

[@hardrocknerd4178]

I mean, it's also about the start positions. But yes, mechanics would be the more important change...

[@OhManTFE]

Yeah they got us good with that PR response on that question. A great way to improve it would be adding dilemmas while holding K8P where your army garrisoned inside K8P is hit with various battles of either greenskins skavens or both (vice versa depending on race you play). And after you win enough of these dilemmas you have finally "cleared out" eight peaks. A real simple way to implement this would be more or less cloning the mechanic of the Wood Elves with their dilemmas outside their trees. Just whack that mechanic on karak eight peaks. Cheap, easy, thematic, done.

[@dudeofstuff]

Also even if it was about the start positions I dont see how moving belegar from Karak izor to zarakzil helps him whatsoever

[@brandonturpin8932]

There was basically never a campaign that Skarsnick's AI would ever get to it. Belegar and Queek also hardly got close. It would just under the mutinous gits control for 50-100 turns. Location is everything

[@Choppytehbear1337]

Another problem is that you can't change your faction capital.

[@AliothAncalagon]

No BS, straight to the point, clear vision, you already managed to get the derailed hypetrain back on its track. There are still plenty of good years within the game and you guys are the heroes we need to make it happen.

[@marcgw496]

Call me pessimistic but for me the hypetrain will not be “back on track” until we see whether the release day avoids being a disaster.

[@MatthewCSnow]

I think they realized that saying “hey! It’s a huge game, we’re not going to no man sky this” is keeping them from becoming overconfident (if a little too cautious, I.E. rolling back on sea lane events)

One that I never thought would have happened to the scale and accuracy that your team has achieved. Truly amazing and grateful.

[@battlemode]

Same, I also started in the late 80s. Interested to know how you feel about bringing more units to Warriors of Chaos: to me it feels a bit more like how the old Chaos faction played, before GW split them up into Warriors, Daemons, Beastmen etc. and I'm excited for it!

[@ZhangJao]

I think you should let Archaon keep his invasion, or at least his cut scene, it's way too badass to throw away

[@madlarkin8]

I think the warriors of chaos or just chaos in general will be getting way more powerful as their baseline. So even though they arent getting an "invasion" per se where 10 armies infini-spawn in the wastes, they will still be the primary threat for the forces of Order because they will actually have an economy, alliances with other chaos factions, harsher attrition in the chaos wastes for non chaos factions to prevent ordertide from wiping them, and better rosters w/daemons.

[@ludwig-alice]

yeah, just play his cutscene at turn 100 because its cool while he doesnt even show up at all

The blue UI looks a lot more manageable compared to the red. But to be honest, the WH2 UI was perfect and I hope the modding community brings it back. For the campaign, stat lines for units, skill trees, etc. WH3’s UI is just too bland.

[@adriankoch964]

The faction specific UI mod for WH2/3 is great. Most factions get a befitting UI color, so it feels a bit like Warcraft/Starcraft where each side had custom UI. For example, Nurgle gets green UI and only Khorne stays red.

[@nordras]

05:39 Completely understandable that turn times will be long again, the game is huge. Before the wh2 turn time update I usually did small chores while waiting, sounds like that part of my life will come back.

[@alexscholz3438]

Considering there's going to be, what, some 200 factions or something, minor and major, all doing their little things across a map twice the size of ME? Yeah you'd be hard-pressed to expect that to be optimised right out of the gate. Plus, assuming it can be ported easy, there's the turn time destroyer mod if needed.

[@budoshi-f2l]

at first 50 turns in then most faction will get destroy then will make turn goes faster. so many close together many wont make past 100 turn for sure.

One of my favorite things about the Vortex campaign was that even when you werent playing a faction that competes for the vortex, the other factions still do

@@johannhofinger4124 I was hoping for someone a bit cooler than Festus for Nurgle like Gutrot Spurme or Tamurkhan but there's doubtless plenty of DLC coming and we'll get most of those guys eventually. Nurgle has so many awesome characters like Glottkin or Valnir. Azazel I dunno, we already have Daniel and Bel'akor for Daemon prince characters maybe Dechala or Styrkaar for Storm of Chaos boomers. I'd bet Dechala. Vilitch is spot on though I feel that's definitely the first Tzeentch character to be made a DLC LL

[@TheRewasder97]

for the dark elf watch towers you could just close the north mountain range with some fort like settlements, include an invasion mechanic similar to the Cathay wall, and leave a normal walled settlement till you have time to make the map, but I imagine remodeling the area after release would be harder, so leave it sculpted could be a good idea

Iam very hyped for ie and I am genuinly grateful that you guys answered our questions. But I don't think you understood the issue the community has with the ui. It's not that red is a bad color to use for the ui, but it's bad that it's used for EVERYTHING. Warhammer 2 had blue and yellow to show what the skill or button would be about (blue = campaign, red = army buffs, yellow = character buffs). We want colors for different skills and buttons, not an entirely new color that will be used for everything. It sucks not being able to know if you're demolishing something or building something.

I think you're doing an incredible job for Immortal Empires and i can't wait for any future updates to this legendary moshpit but i gotta ask: Any news regarding a potential overhaul of Gotrek Gurnisson? He is by far the least mechanically developed legendary lord in the trilogy, who is recruit-able by any human/dwarf faction but offers no player driven progression, he can't gain experience and doesn't even have a proper skill tree due to his passives and active effects being tied to random events... Could we see Gotrek receive a proper rework and become a proper legendary lord in his own faction with a faction mechanic thematically inspired by his many adventures across the old world? Perhaps reintroduce him alongside Thanquol in a classic 2 faction DLC starring the infamous skaven and his dwarfen nemesis who's notorious for being incredibly hard to kill?

[@igchek]

Speaking of feedback - additional building layers (external for skaven and vampire coast, internal for oxyotl) was the spiciest novelty strategywise. Double, tripple and quadruple down on that aspect and continuity of campaign intrigue will increase. Like adding both internal and external building layer system for each race, involve heroes in its establishment/management and destruction/competion will introduce a simultaneous progression layer for every race in the game and decrease steam roller emergence probability by a huge factor

Hopes are high that the full release of Immortal Empires later on down the line is the complete and polished masterwork all of us have fantasized it to be.

Sounds great, can't wait to get my hands on Immortal empires, the wait has been long but it looks to pay off!

Great video, bit bummed no Watchtowers for DE and it seems like Norsca still doesn't have any slavery mechanic. Still real hyped for IE, keep up the good work!

I think a cool way to introduce an end game crisis, while also keeping the demonic influences of warhammer 3 would be to choose one of the four Chaos Gods as an end game invasionary force. Similar to how Archaon triggers.

About question number 14 I hope that CA will transition corruption from World Map to the battle maps, e.g. instead fighting under red sky of Khorne corruption, the terrain itself will be bloody, ash coloured and full of fire and fire tree, or Vampire corruption shows battle maps with tombstones, creepy forests and so on.
