@@somerandomperson8282 whatever it is its working. It was so sad seeing this amazing series spiral downwards but now things are looking up again. Lets hope they dont shoot themselves in the foot again.
I'm so happy that the Knights of Morr are heavy melee cav and not shock cav. I thought i saw them with lances in the trailer and was kinda disappointed but now seeing them with unique swords and shields is just so damn cool.
I know what you mean, I honestly think reworked Gelt actually looks more fun than Elspeth, they both look really fun though! I’m just really surprised that a game one character got so much love.
@@Laid2Rest94 Im going to play Karl, his new campaign options look dope, 5% damage and life for state droops per rank will mean Karl played as a melee/cav army will be very decent.

I would totally return to the empire as him and go take all the woodelf lands.

@@nonya1366 the problem is the meme is on the "amiguis" that is a funny way to use it on english I can translate you, but the meme part is lost: Zhao Ming: Why are you here and helping us? 🤨 Balthazar Gelt: Because were friends 😁🤙 They start to dance together.
Speaking of repeater's - I honestly was expecting those to be an RoR if Ironsides or the state variant (or whatever those are called, like Carroburg Greatswords). Shame, but those gunners still look both sexy and scary for the enemy!
I've avoided dwarfs and empire like the plague ever since I first got WHII back around Vampire Coast release, but now their new toys have me chomping at the bit.
I mean, between Elspeth and the new changes to how the Empire’s campaign will play in general, the Empire finally sounds like a faction I actually want to play. I’m pretty excited.
Yeah, it's sad because as a Cathay player you gonna kill him in basically every campaign because there is a lot of trading goods and unique landmark in the south.
robohorse gives hardcore giddy up buttercup fallout 4 vibe. Marienburg landship seems like it's going to bust alongside that thunderbarge the dwarves got. 'we have a land ship.' "Well look up mate, we got us a ship ship"
I'm really liking this update but I'm a little scared we aren't getting wizard Lords or the celestial hurricanum cuz I thought for Sure they'd be in this dlc and the master engineer would just be a hero, didn't think they'd get a lord version
@@joshuacollins9346 yeah I thought the theme for the empire would have been gunpowder and sorcery in this dlc but they seem too have really doubled down on the gunpowder
When it comes to Elspeths dragon, it isn't conpletely stated how it is designed outside of being a crimson red dragon. And since most dragons all looks the same outside color, there isn't much for them to go off of. I wouldn't be surprised if they had asked GW on if there were any special features or anything, but they likely didn't give a good response outside of "go off the lore tab." So considering that I am not really dissatisfied on the whole thing. I am just surprised they at the very least changed the color, cause for all old management likely would have cared, they likely would've just given her a generic dragon mount and named it after her lore entry crimson dragon. In a way, they likely did technically do that, but until I see it, I wont be able to thoroughly guess as to any of the actual differences in models or features. But considering the dragon, there isn't much they can do with it unless its a corrupted dragon, like the chaos one, the undead one, or the dark elf ones. Otherwise most are just the same.
Us getting Theodore Bruckner just upsets me more that we don't have Kurt Hellborg and Ludwig Schwarzhelm 😔. We're still missing so many minor characters from the pre-legendary hero era
I'll be honest, my only complaint is that it sounds like only elspeth gets the gunnery school (correct me if I missed something or misheard that). I play empire, and damn if I don't want better gun play. Hell, I've run that WWI mod my last 2 play throughs just because the empire's guns feel really lacking in their punch, and their artillery gets pretty useless after a certain point in most battles I've played, particularly against later game, high tier, high leadership, small but elite units/monstrous units. The idea of better buffs to them to make late game gunnery units absolute paradigm shifters, to show the effects that massed use of, and drastic improvement in firearms tech could have on war is something that draws me to the Empire. The idea of a juggernaut that, if it was ever allowed to get truly unified, motivated, mobilized, and continue it's advancements without supposed "giant rats" murder-killing/sabotage-booming their greatest inventors is one I've always wanted to see realized in the setting. Hopefully such an idea can get implemented before they go full "end times", because otherwise hordes of chaos monsters and aspiring champions, or really any single entity units that cause terror, can charge through formations into the back line, and can sow chaos in formations, will tend to wreck any non-dedicated counter armies from them
I’m very pleased with the reworks for all three factions, but I must say that I’m especially pleasantly surprised with the amount of love that Gelt has received. I didn’t buy SoC but I will definitely be purchasing ToD :)
I do wish their were even more Orders of Morr added with this, love the astedic and think Knights of the Raven would have been cool as hybrid outrider shock cav. Waralter of Morr for Death Wizards would have been great to
he is a Nurgle subfaction. Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle aren't daemon-only factions, they are monogods. Which means mortals and Daemons dedicated to each God, combined into singular rosters. So there will be mortal and Daemonic legendary lords for each of the Gods. But yes you are correct that Tamurkhan is a mortal champion, not a daemon
DLC looking good so far. It might be the first DLC I buy since Champions of Chaos. It's a shame it took some catastrophic failures by CA part to finally start caring for this title. We could've had this type of quality from day 1.
kind of strange the Nuln Ironsides are holding repeater rifles in the trailer but in the dev build they have generic long rifles. Hoping the trailer has the correct look.
they confirmed to make it more lore friendly (and maybe cuz GW stepped in), they changed it to regular handguns. they will not have repeaters in the final build
The nex big thing for empire could be Religion ubdate. Nie i am nordland pilled cuz of RPG campain i prepare so manan and sea lords would be fun, Taal and Horned knghts, Ulric as you said. Like one priest and knight devoted to said god
Edit: I will say this - I can not look at Elspeth and see anything other than Katarin. Like ridiculously so. High Elves are my fav faction, and the one I collect in TT. But Empire campaigns in TWW seem to give the almost more fun battles. I never get bored with their campaigns. Very much looking forward to this DLC. back in 2015/6 when TWW was being teased and announced, I played Wissenland in Call of Warhammer and it got me so hyped. To have a dedicated DLC to them is making me cream.
I feel a bit scammed by the fact that the Ironsides won't get repeater rifles and the Master Engineer has a grenade launcher and not a Hochland Long Rifle... but everythinge else is *chef's kiss*
oh boy, the new empire mechanics sound AMAZING Now I want CA to breeathe some life into the maps: Visible trading routes, cities that are alive and not sterile like now (also during sieges). Maybe even a way to build and manage a city for siege battles (I mean truly building cities instead of completely premade ones)
Really, the biggest problem with the empire up to this point has been that it was a ridiculous shit show of a stacked deck against the player; it takes a long time to get to the good shit troop wise, Reikland is a pain to defend (and has only gotten worse and worse as time has gone on), the other provinces are oft times intractable with their frequently bizzare interrelations and refusal to co-operate even when it is clearly in their best interests. And shit has only gotten worse and worse as expansions and DLC has marched on; Poor franz has been stuck dealing with multiple factions of beastmen, orcs, Krell, Drycha, Vladd, Festus, Norsca, Rakarth and Belakor all stirring up shit and making his life miserable before he can credibly get going. These changes? These ones that let you actually build and *run* an empire? Fucking god sends.
....... Okay so. Her dragon dos have a unique head and alterations to the model. doesn't have the tail fins, hard has a different shape, different hrons goign on.
8:28 I was kinda expecting them to be wielding a sort of blunderbuss from the artwork I saw from the End Times. Like the Ironsides would be medium or short ranged infantry who hit hard but with a limited amount of ammunition.
If Gelt can confederate Elspeth and give her the unique Amethyst Wizard item his new College of Magic mechanic, she's going to be absolutely unstoppable.
After seeing all the new stuff the Empire has, it really makes me hope they give the elves some unique faction mechanics. They are sorely lacking. It's somewhere the issue with how good the newer factions are (like the Chorfs), their designs put to shame older work and make the difference all the more noticeable.
Meh gelt sounds a bit boring as he will Rolf Stomp everything. I think Magic is far to powerful in this game at times. I will Play the teleporting woman i think, although i feel that will also be EASY.
Really weird that she gets the Imperial Gunnery upgrades and not Gelt, considering he is the Lord thats focused more on firepower. Welp.... time to haul my ass to Cathay to confederate him.
Elspeths city Nuln is the gunnery of the empire and Gelt is primarily leader of the colleges of magic, Gelt may personally like guns and Elspheth may be a wizard but there mechanics are more in line with the factions they represent
@@capadociaash8003 i know lorewise. Im a warh fan myself. But before Thrones of Decay, Gelt was the go to Lord when it came to gunpowder army builds. And now things that would complement his stat buffs to gunpowder units are given to someone else who is probably not a fan of guns herself. Its like clan moulders clone vats or ikits claw laboratory given to other skaven lords despite their natural affinity with them. At least Malacai is now a go to Lord when it comes to fully gunpowder armies for dwarfs. Im probably just gonna replace Elspeth with a generic enginer empire lord to have my fully gunpower army and shoot anything in sight XD
@@griffinmckenzie7203 when things change to reflect modern politics instead changed for the sake of the story its woke I would complain just as much if sisters of battle had males in their ranks. It just makes the setting less authentic and highlights that its just another product like any other and will be maximized for profits
This new DLC gives me mixed feelings. In one hand they really nailed it with the new stuff, lords, mechanics and the reworks for the 3 factions, genuinely awesome and they should be proud. But on the other hand, it shows how little effort they gave for shadow of change, which I find incredibly annoying and disgusted when I think again about the price.
@@joedatius There is almost nothing new in TW for almost 5 years. They are doing things already covered by mods with little more polish. Game is not evolving or worse it is devolving to find easiest solutions to inherited problems instead of revolutionizing a solution out of it. Not taking risks is the greatest risk and they will learn that very painfully.
@@chilliewhkthat would be great, even without the LH though, I’m definitely going to try my best to form the Gotrek and Felix squad. We have Gotrek, Felix, Ulrika, Malakai, a generic gold wizard for max, and then I suppose I can just use 3 generic slayers heroes for Snorri, Bjorni, and Ulli. I’ll have to find a mod that lets Malakai recruit Ulrika but I imagine someone will make that very soon haha.
Very good to see Karl Franz being changed into making sure he plays as the defender of Empire rather then having play as a weird conqueror who's incentivized to just obliterate the other elector counts and control everything himself. It was like Franz was taking the German inspiration for Reikland a little too literally.
I personally dont mind the Carmine Dragon's look. Yes, it has that Elven look. Many magical-oriented dragons share that look across the warhammer, And "DEATH" Dragons definitely should be one of those "magically supercharged" dragons. Maybe nothing on the tier of Star dragons, or Nightmare Dragons, but a powerful middle ground above things like Forest, Zombie, or Sun dragons.
the amber wizards can ride gryphons, summon 2 eagles (i forget if its group or great), and now with the college system they can temporarily summon beast incarnates, the college increases your hero cap each wizard you purchase through it so doomstacking with them isn't even that hard, can't wait to roll over people with 19 gryphons, 38 eagles and 19 incarnate beast
@@scudgaming603 Yea the Lizardman mechanics boil down to occasional quests that pop up randomly that give you a random special unit, a single building chain that buffs commandments aaaaand that's about it lol
Hardest part for me with this DLC is who to play 1st..Nuln or dwarves. I love them both and while Nurgle looks cool its a distant 3rd for playing. I love me some Dawi slayer action and Nuln gunpowder destruction
Gelt in Vietnam is a great change. 😎

Volkmar was was already updated and the most i know about Markus is that he gets to use Empire Mechanics if he returns to the empire
Markus already has a pretty unique campaign in Lustria, so he doesn't really need an update.

@@joedatius He is a human who knows one lore of magic. Any Archmage knows all eight.
So hand gunners, better hand gunners, and snipers....seems to lack imagination
Sounds like they really overdid it with just about everything with this DLC.. Hope i am wrong on that..
The empire pack has units that took very little effort to make...i know they went by the book but still these units don't even worth 8 dollars.
I was hoping it would be reversed. I wanted more gunpowder and monsters for Dawi and more infantry for Empire. Is what it is I guess
they have a literal landship and mechanical horses. the two things everyone was saying for years would never happen. what are you talking about.
Doesn't look very Empire. Not a fan
such a great rework. all thats missing from my wishlist is the master wizard lord option
I would really like if we could at least get Max Schreiber as a LH master wizard.
@@chilliewhkthat would be great, even without the LH though, I’m definitely going to try my best to form the Gotrek and Felix squad.
We have Gotrek, Felix, Ulrika, Malakai, a generic gold wizard for max, and then I suppose I can just use 3 generic slayers heroes for Snorri, Bjorni, and Ulli.
I’ll have to find a mod that lets Malakai recruit Ulrika but I imagine someone will make that very soon haha.
@carsonnesbit1178 apparently the Dwarfs are now able to recruit Ulrika. So no mod needed for that 😀
@@chilliewhk hell yea!👌
That last image thou…
"It should've been me! Not him!"
lore accurate (unfortunately)
@@garryame4008it's not fair!
😩
Wow the steam tanks look beautiful
Very good to see Karl Franz being changed into making sure he plays as the defender of Empire rather then having play as a weird conqueror who's incentivized to just obliterate the other elector counts and control everything himself. It was like Franz was taking the German inspiration for Reikland a little too literally.
Did he fail art school?
To quote Greed from FMAB :
"Aw, I've had enough. Yeah. That's all I really need. They gave me everything I could want."
I personally dont mind the Carmine Dragon's look. Yes, it has that Elven look. Many magical-oriented dragons share that look across the warhammer, And "DEATH" Dragons definitely should be one of those "magically supercharged" dragons.
Maybe nothing on the tier of Star dragons, or Nightmare Dragons, but a powerful middle ground above things like Forest, Zombie, or Sun dragons.
the amber wizards can ride gryphons, summon 2 eagles (i forget if its group or great), and now with the college system they can temporarily summon beast incarnates, the college increases your hero cap each wizard you purchase through it so doomstacking with them isn't even that hard, can't wait to roll over people with 19 gryphons, 38 eagles and 19 incarnate beast
sounds pretty gross lol
Do we know if it’s 1 incarnate per army rather than 1 per wizard?
How are they summoning 38 eagles?
@@xPureAndTheTaintedx Id guess 2 summons each - requires alot of magic though
@@seegurke34 At base you would need 760 winds of magic. With the generic -cost, you would need 608 Winds of Magic.
The Empire updates and campaign diversification make me excited for hopefully a Lizardmen rework someday sooner than later
I feel the same way with my boi Skarsnik.
Hope High Elves and Norsca get some too
Yeah. I love the Lord options, but lizardmen mechanics are rough
@@Thukad I would use the word nonexistent, the mechanics don't really change or add anything to base total war gameplay.
@@scudgaming603 Yea the Lizardman mechanics boil down to occasional quests that pop up randomly that give you a random special unit, a single building chain that buffs commandments aaaaand that's about it lol
Hardest part for me with this DLC is who to play 1st..Nuln or dwarves. I love them both and while Nurgle looks cool its a distant 3rd for playing. I love me some Dawi slayer action and Nuln gunpowder destruction
Gelt. followed by dwarf and then Karl.
