  • The Twisted & The Twilight is the latest piece of DLC for Total War Warhammer 2 and I'm already irritated they didn't call it The Twisted & The Sisters. I'll never know peace.

    THE LIST - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_K3ziSxT9zcUUGCddS4sF1uNJTWHSbOwB1CQX2Rx4Uo/
    UPDATE: Since this video they overhauled the Forge by adding a special panel for it and making it a lot better to use. The unit cards have also been fixed with some gorgeous new artwork across the two DLCs that had the weird ones.

      Has DMC 1, 3, or 4 been brought up as potential items for the list? I think although 5 has brought some mainstream interest into these titles, they don't get nearly the coverage they deserve for being such phenomenal games.
      DMC 1 is a hidden gem since most newcomers will only go as far back as 3, and the design philosophies behind how the game worked is totally different from later entries so it'd be quite interesting to see your retrospective on it.
      DMC 3 is definitely the most played of these previous titles, the combat is incredibly fluid, and fun as hell to master. It'd probably be interesting to see the difference between this game and a game like god of war since they get compared so much, but are very different in terms of actual gameplay.
      DMC 4 is the most unrefined out of these 3, and can feel like a messy chore at times to play, not to mention finish. It was a development mess that resulted in a very flawed game, but the core that's been built is still extremely fun. It's interesting how a lot of new "mechanics" were originally bugs, things like inertia, distortion, guard flying, etc.

      Its not going to be a beastmen AND dwarfs, as they're both Warhammer 1 factions, if I had to bet what the next DLC would be I'd say Tomb Kings/Vampires (Neferata) especially since they added the Silver Pinnacle in the new areas in the darklands, with Beastmen hopefully being the other faction as they desperately need a rework and update. I don't care how many Charlemagnes it costs I want Jabberslythes!

      When they inevitably do the rework of the Chaos races, Throgg and Norsca as a whole should get a buff. Hopefully to his presentation and personality as well as his LL traits. Since part of his character seems to be lamenting the fact that he’s the only intelligent troll in the world - and hoping for/striving to get the gods make another like him - he probably should buff the intellectual capacity (leadership) of his race (and faction) rather than their physical talents. If he literally gave Trolls +40 leadership they probably still wouldn’t be overpowered since their base is so abysmal.

    Ariel's lore in a nutshell is that she was a regular elf like Orion and one of the first wood elves, and she was really into trees and speaking with them. Then one day a bunch of dwarfs and orks decided to invade the woods the elves were squatting in and they were too many for the elves to fight, so the trees asked for a sacrifice in return for their help dealing with the invasions. Ariel and Orion sacrificed themselves and also boned inside the big tree, and while Orion became the avatar of Kurnous, Ariel became the avatar of Isha. Then Morghur showed up regularly, being kind of a dick and also really hard to kill, Ariel started dabbling in dark magic to try and kill the goat fuck once and for all, Orion didn't appreciate it, Ariel dumped his ass and locked him in the big tree, kept trying to fuck over Morghur until she realised she was doing big evil shit, released Orion and locked herself up in the big tree instead. And now she has two twins doing her errands for her while she chills in the big tree doing nothing most of the time

      @Scrub McSco the two I’ve been watching with great nation overviews and stuff are GeneralConfusionPlays and Attica. The first channel has better sound quality but they’ve both been immensely helpful for learning how to play in my case. You get the basic gist of the game pretty quickly and it’s very playable without a massive learning curve, and then the depth slowly starts unwinding with the magic and item/forging systems for example.

      @sr71silver 3 роки тому +5

      @Scrub McSco LucidTactics, Perun and General Confusion. Lucid's probably the best player of the three and has the most established community but I find him a bit dry and bland. Perun is excellent at the diplomacy aspect of the game and has a higher than average hit rate for winning games. And Confusion is, in my opinion, the most entertaining of the three however he is also the weakest which tends to make things even more entertaining. Unfortunately Confusion has been a bit burnt out on Dom5 vids recently. That said both he and Perun have playlists of completed games and I'd suggest starting with them if you want to check the game out.
      Also fair warning Dom5 games are LONG. The average game has between 9 and 16 players and they usually progress at the pace of a turn a day. So don't expect an episode per day for a currently active game. It's more like and episode per week with 4ish turns per episode.

    That last bit (the RTS vs FPS thing) reminds me of a source mod I adored in middle school. It was called Zombie Master. There were some really cool themed and original maps, and the zombie master had resources to spend on environmental traps or on zombie spawns. An example would be using extra points to summon a few "hulks" which were basically large and resilient poison zombies from HL2, or have a pipe burst, killing any player who happens to be next to it. Closest we ever got was Resident Evil: Resistance, but that had nowhere near the amount of community-created content support you need to sustain that kind of thing.

    "It's possible it's a bug."
    So, here's the thing. Projectiles are missiles. Like, period. Magic missile spell like Fireball? That's a missile. Bombardment spell like Comet? That's a missile. Cannonballs from artillery? Missiles. Arrows? Also missiles.
    Due to that, missile resistance applies to things people wouldn't think it would apply to; such as ikkit's nuke, and most spells.
    When CA does something to change missiles, it affects everything that can be classified as a projectile due to how the game's coded. To that end... artillery and spells being affected was very much just part of the lumping. Hopefully it'll draw CA's attention to the issue, and they'll finally fix it.
    Edit: In regards to the lower quality unit icons, the artist who actually makes the icons quit CA, so it's a different person making them now.

      True but also untrue.
      Everything you said is correct, except for the last part. CA actually built functionality into this update (mainly for use for modders) that allows this new effect to be tweaked on a per-projectile basis. Meaning you can have every artillery projectile not pierce trees, or have only Wood Elf projectiles pierce trees, or have only specific units projectiles pierce trees, etc.
      You can even tweak the timing, so maybe you want only Wood Elf arrows to just ignore trees completely, all the time.
      Also as far as the artist quitting, that's the first I've heard of this. That sounds like a rumor, because I haven't heard anything from CA or seen anything conrete saying they quit.

Some other UA-camrs who shall not be named gave me hope that maybe their mechanic wasn't as bad as we initially thought it was, but between seeing all of the items fully upgraded in another video and Mandalore's candid opinion I think it's safe to say that the Wood Elves got well and truly shafted on the mechanics front. Why CA can't seem to make a balanced DLC and why they always consistently favor the Skaven when they're a part of it are questions I'd like the answer to but will likely never know.

    Your name and picture remind me of the knight from The Belgariad by David Eddings. A knight of Arendia named Mandorallen. Aside from that, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos! Thanks for all the amazing content!

      I mean, I think it was pretty obvious to most people that the Beastmen had to be part of the last DLC since they simply had to get reworked before WH3 comes out. They're the last remaining race that truly needed to be fixed from the ground up out of all the current ones after all

    I love these encounters cause it means more battles without having to go to war with powerful neighbors.
    And this is how the Vortex events should be instead of armies spawning in the middle or your territory.
    I hope this encounters thing gets implemented more into random encounters or even the narrative campaign for TWW3
    It would be awesome for Beastmen to get something it that with ambushing a traveling Empire caravan or other things like that.

    Putting the norsca attacks track from vermintide 2 in the intro was a nice touch
