>I don't believe in artificial caps - I think it's a cop out, and is not a entertaining or a fun way to balance an fantasy strategy game like Warhammer. You can't heal an unlimited amount once your magic pool is depleted, and spellcasting has a greater risk of miscasting in SFO, so there's more risk involved. In MP is really not an issue - it only becomes truly powerful in the campaign with all the potential powers the casting Legendary Lords can get, but the campaign is meant to be a closer to lore, over the top Warhammer experience.
>Even if you blob your undead, and keep spamming your overcasted Invocation of Nehek, you're going to be resilient for awhile, but you're going to exhaust your magic pool fairly quickly. In SFO, most other races have higher damage, or deal more damage than most undead units (or both); so the Undead rely on their ability to heal and resurrect to win tough battles. This is how it is in the lore and TT, so this is how I designed them in SFO.
>As for units with regen, they are designed to reply on their regen to be effective - without it, they aren't very useful, such as Trolls. So artificially capping their healing, is a huge nerf to some units, which I designed to need it. I'd recommend trying the latest version of the mod for mp and sp, and then forming an opinion first.
this is in response to a sentence long comment about the healing cap
>I'm always looking for feedback, and trying to improve balance, so anyone playing my mod for the first time, realize that things are much different in some respects, you need to adjust your play-style and strategies. Feel free to give me feedback in the bug/balance thread on my mod page if you feel anything is worth reporting. >>I'm always looking for feedback, unless I don't like your feedback in which case I will write an essay criticizing your feedback

Shit mate. I actually liked lore-ish stat changes of Steel Faith, where units like Grail Knights were reduced in size significantly. But then they just started to add some Radious tier shit.
Is there any other mods that do changes like that?

yeah that guy has some problems, I remember him throwing a big shitfit in regards to that all tabletop lords mod a while back
Carter Baker
Should skaven slaves be better or worse than peasant mobs?
Elijah Williams
Roughly equivalent I think.
Elijah Rodriguez
>>tfw we had to mod Empire State colours in and then it's a different building chain Is there a mod that does that? I'm planning on doing something similar once HElves hit and could use a framework to work off.
Worse in most aspects, but faster and with some mechanic that buffs morale while outnumbering the enemy.
Blake Reed
Hammer and anvil baby
Gavin Diaz
Unique Empire States and State Troops of the Empire do it.

Like what?
Brandon Johnson

Lincoln Diaz

Jayden Brown

Lincoln Perry
Pretty sure Unique Empire State troops only changes the looks of the units depending on faction, meaning once the Empire takes Middenheim, you will no longer be able to recuit Middenheim units from there.
I'll look into Stae´te Troops of the Empire, thanks.

There are no female Lizards, they just emerge from spawning pools.

Technically they don't have one, as they're asexual biological robots, to be reductive.
In terms of porn, whatever the artist decides it should look like on a given day.

And how do you think the pools get pregnant?
That's right, the Saurus jack off into them with their giant dino dicks.

Playing FotS for the first time now and its even more OP because the skill trees way stronger and for some reason inciting revolts barely gives you any diplomacy penalty.
Nicholas Thomas

for heretical documentation of course , such heresy must be recorded into the witch hunter office
Dominic Gonzalez
yea all I got was "chaos warrior have been wiped out nothing left but their laughing gods" or something along those lines. Guess I'll just get rid of everyone else and build up my armies to take on chaos warriors again.
Mason King
I wouldn't be surprised if we could just edit that mod to not have those units in it
Is there something that makes FotS suddenly turn difficult, like RD?
I'm playing as Aizu and it seems really easy because 2/3rds of the map is pro shogunate.
Ayden Davis
So what's the best artillery piece in TWW not counting the steam tank? The hellcannon? The doom diver? The luminark?
Bentley Gonzalez
Realm divide is different in FotS, it basically becomes all of the shogunate forces vs all of the imperial forces unless you become a republic, in which case the realm divide is similar to vanilla
Nolan Ross
Haven't played either Rome 2 or Attila but have both with most DLC because my brother owns them on steam.

I'm not at all a lorefag, I just hate seeing the factions homogenized like this. Let some have their unique weapons. If I wanted to have rosters bolstered by every character model equipped with every weapon model, I would download radius.
Cooper Sullivan
Hellcannon by a country mile.
Easton Sanchez
We want to see warhammer screenshots, not some history trash that nobody cares about.

If you put your mouse on a less smooth surface when you fire it, it becomes really easy to control and you can consistently get 30 or more kills with a single shot.

UPVOTE! This but 1000000000xtimes Btw do you guys know what the 4th race will be? It hasn't be RATified.........lol xDDDD le dank skaven don't exist meme :) look at does DANK and BASED lizards though xDDDD
Luis Scott
but wont that just make the game even easier because when that hits the Shogunate forces will just dominate the imperial forces?
Ryan Ross
Hide and report false flagging fags trying to seed discord among Total War fans.

Adam Green
Lol dude UPVOTE XDD histfags BTFO they don't even have some BASED lizards and ((((((rats)))))
Blake King
Nobody post this king of comfy campaign posting with warhammer because its fucking trash anyway you faggot
Charles Sanchez
It is not my fault that history is hugely overrated, unbalanced and not fun. Instead of having an engaging campaign with rats, bulls and lizards you choose to paint map with the same units for every faction, just defferent icons. I pity you histfag, go back to plebbit.
Aiden Howard
Of course they won't be. They're far too perfect a match for the rogue armies profile to ever make it in. Instead, we'll get mixed armies of Chaos Warriors and Bretonnian knights led by Treemen. And while it's clear to everyone by now that CA are not artists but capitalists, it should be said that they're a special type of capitalist: strategy video game designers. The market strategy of this type of top hat-wearers is unique even in the specialized field of video game development: they will occupy a niche within the already small market of strategy games, and once the painstakingly produced first game or two has established the model for their new pioneering subgenre, they will continue on the course set by the game with only graphical improvements for entire decades, hiring charlatan junior designer to cater to their fanbase's petty vanities with cosmetic changes while endeavouring to include less and more homogenous content with each new game and expansion. In other words, CA and Paradox are always testing their loyal and niche fanbase, seeking to crush their spirit, probing how low they can go on the content while still reaping their predictable rewards. Nothing good or unique must pass the decisionmaking process, or the demand for the game grow, overwhelming the tired, jaded CEO who came up with that groundbreaking concept decades ago and his simpering underlings who are there in the role of gremlins trying to discretely cripple the game instead of engineers trying to improve it. They will work towards inter-game compatibility and homogeneity across the rulesets, yes, but they will quickly strangle every spark of flavour, creativity, unpredictability, sometimes helped along by the "suggestions" of their playerbase which is made up of RL motorically impaired losers who want predictable victories over exciting mechanics.

>Witch elf asses will be hidden by loincloth CAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Grayson Morgan
The convos in this general where 'doomstacks' and 'always attack X on turn 2' are the most common types of strategy being discussed, further reinforce the image of the strategy game player as nothing more than an affirmation seeker through the basest means, almost mechanizing the ways they can get the mana and the 'doomstacks' so to feel superior to the pretend-opponent. There is no savour for the art and the environment of the game in the strategy gamer's heart, only the feeling of superiority that must be attained by any means and in any game possible. Warhammer, Shogun, Medieval, it matters not, all are just groupings of 'stacks' (mobs, toonz) and mana to the modern player. Ruthless, soulless, artless efficiency can thus be said to permeate every pore of the strategy market, suffocating the beautiful and the exotic such as the Veeky Forums crowd has come to expect. An unfortunate clash of cultures! And one that the formless grey mass of 'map painters', 'carpet painters' and junior designers will always win with their uncaring, exploitative iron fist eternally pressed to the game's throat, whether it manifests itself as exploitative gameplay or exploitative design. So in conclusion, it seems that the one thread running across all of the strategy video games complex is aggressive mediocrity. RIP in peace, proud Amazons, good night, Araby, sleep tight, Kislev. And a special farewell to the Moot. Bye.

All of my friends refunded the Rome 2 and Attila because of a low quality and zero history accuracy

Adam Wright
funny thing is that attila is probably the most historically accurate tw game since it at least doesn't have incendiary pigs, or roman ninjas, or literal fucking amazons

I am really tired to tell you this, but you don't have to pay for a lazy, unpolished and no fun game, it just makes no sense. Unless the product is really good than you should buy it.
Justin Ward
>paying for software you can easily get for free
Literally just awful management of finances tbqh
Mason Sullivan
I hope you didn't pay for atilla or rome 2 then
Nathan Scott
Why would you play the game if it is no fun to you?
Brayden Diaz
The walls have been broken and the first wave prepares for assault. The Massalian reinforcements are trickling in nearby and a secondary detachment is sent to clean them up.
Wyatt Garcia
>tbqh what does this mean
Colton Powell
So I found this mod. Sounds like everything I wanted.
Anybody uses it and cares to give feedback? I would greatly appreciate it. Trying to jump off from the SFO addiction.
Benjamin Morris
Never because LA ROCHELLE shall never be breached >oh no they added former table top units Fuck off you fake niggers, it's a fantasy game first and foremost hence why different arrow types are different units
John Brooks
I need to taste it first; see how it looks and plays. If I don't get excited during the gameplay, I uninstall it. If there is well-thought gameplay or rich story, then I give it a chance.
Xavier Allen
Worse but armour piercing and need to be blocked by another unit to the rear to stop routs
Hudson Sullivan
I wish I could change arrow types. Even if not at battle level, just like an option on unit card in campaign level, sort of like how in Attila you can upgrad your units, but just a switch.
Joseph Russell
They emerge from bathing pools so should lack any gentians but do have spiked tails which can be inserted into the anus for armour piercing damage
Ryan Ward
looks cool but wait
