GOd fucking damnit, I was hoping they would not do them separately.

My favorite Warband. Finally!

 

[hivemind]

p cool game
the AI could use a bit if improvement tho, after initially getting my first 4 or so warbands rekt in the first week my current one is at rank 7 with 100% win rate, I guess this could just be imperials being OP but idk

will exclusively try deadly and brutal missions from now on and see what happens

Impressive units seem retard and I avoid playing with them

story missions are a nice break from the tedium


will definitely buy when I have some spare money if they plan on releasing new warbands, don't like the individual DLC units but w/e

The Witch Hunters have been officially released. I read moderately positive comments about them.
Anyone has first hand experience?

I might go back to Mordheim soonish. Such a good game.

WH fanboys in a nutshell. This is why GW will never change their ways.

 

[Baptismbyfire]

Very fun game. Recommend you try it if you haven't while it's on Steam sale.

Trust me, I'm very far from being a GW fanboy. I just realise how this industry works. Nowadays DLC's seldom cost less than 5$, while offering very little content. As for me - if the game's good and the DLC's good, then I can spend much, much more than 10 measly bucks, which is not even half of the ammount that I spend during a night of drinking with my buddies.

 

[SerratedBiz]

Trust me.

No.

 

[Xathrodox86]

Trust me.

No.

Good choice.

 

[Inspectah]

Do the AI still get bonus hp, etc?
That is kind of a deal breaker to me, just rubs me the wrong way that they would release dlcs before making a decent challenging ai

 

[Plane Escapee]

Game is free to play on steam this weekend. Since it hasn't really had any significant price drops (to make it easier to forgive yourself for buying it on a whim), this is a good opportunity for cheapskates and poor people (like me) to give it a try and see if it is worth it's price.

 

[Ellef]

Just got an alert to say it's 60% off at a more reasonable $15.99 USD.

 

[muds_animal_friend]

Having fun with the Witch Hunters DLC. They've got the Sister's staying power, the Skaven's speed and debuffs, the Mercenaries' tactical flexibility, and the Cult's resistance to pysch effects. Pay2Win multiplayer.

 

[Galdred]

It is fitting that the ones who do not embrace the Witch hunter get destroyed.

 

[Caim]

So how long until they implemented all the warbands that were in the tabletop game?

 

[not an artichoke]

Probably depends on whether anyone buys the game.

I'm having a blast with it and I don't even have a warband past level 5 yet. I'm not playing 24/7 to hopefully avoid burnout like others have described.

I do feel the stinging bite of disappointment at not being able to see gear upgrades. Boo, hiss.

Undead warband just got released: http://store.steampowered.com/app/534990/

Patch notes:

Spoiler

Veterans can now start a Rank 5 warband: When starting a new warband, you will be prompted with a window that will offer the option between Rank 0 and Rank 5. Starting Rank 5 provides you with all the benefits unlocked at this Rank, such as being able to hire all types of Warriors for the warband or having more reserve slots unlocked. This doesn’t provide additional benefits such as extra gold or equipment. Note: This feature becomes available to new Warbands after reaching Veteran Rank 5 with a Warband.
Accelerated Turns: A new option can be activated in the Gameplay section of the Options menu. It has 2 purposes:
Accelerate Player Turns by 15% (movement, animations, etc.)
Accelerate AI movement and athletic actions taken by 50% during AI turns
This is only valid while playing against the CPU (never against another Player)
Veteran Skill “Re-spec”: Everyone will get a free “re-spec” for Veteran skills. This will remove every Veteran Skill learned and allow you to learn new ones.
Each warband starts with 1 Re-spec.
At the end of every year and before the next year start, on Witching Day, the warband will get a new Re-spec (i.e.: one additional Re-spec per game year.)
Re-spec allocation is retroactive to all warbands.
Detection of Mission progress corruption: If a save is corrupted, it will reset the mission progress and send the warband back to hideout without consequences. This process takes place in the main menu.
New option to turn tutorials off in the hideout. It is located in the "Gameplay" section of the Options menu.
New layout when selecting "New warband" in the main menu.

General Changes
Hired Sword rotation: Adjusted to have a better balance between Leader, Hero, Henchman and Impressive Warriors. This ensures that, most of the time, there is at least one of each type available after a rotation. Will start to take effect on your next Hired Sword rotation.
New Campaign Gold: Initial money has been increased to 500 gold (was 250 previously). This doesn’t take into account Veteran bonus.
Witch Hunter Story mission 3: Reinforcements have been reduced for this mission.
Leadership: Effects of each points of leadership has been reduced to 3% instead of 4% (bonus to All Alone, Fear & Terror resistance).
All Alone: Base percentage to All Alone resistance has been increased to 30% (was 20%).
Market Event – Sale: Price reduction when selling items to players will now only be of 25% (was 50%).
Market Event – Profit opportunity: Price reduction when Players sell items to the store will now only be of 25% (was 50%).
Updated all bounty icons to better reflect the item scavenged.
Spell fix: Preventing spells requiring a specific enchantment on target to be cast on destructible items.
Temple Mission Fix: The Holy Fountains in the Temple of Sigmar should now be more accessible during various campaign missions
Fixed an issue showing traps to enemies on overview map, instead of decoys.
Fixed an issue resulting in having a morale with a negative value.
Fixed an issue preventing Warriors from getting an injury if their shipment failed.
Fixed XP bars in hideout to be more accurate.
Fixed missing sound issues with projectiles.
Fixed an issue resulting in losing the armband when getting a mutation on the left arm.

Known Issues

Market Square: There might be some graphical glitches around the fountain during some missions.
Crypt Horror: At the moment, the Crypt Horror doesn't have access to the warband skills.

 

[Jimmious]

I wonder if they improved the issues that AI had with big units getting stuck etc. I'll come back to this game some time, it's good fun

 

[Jinn]

Anyone try out the Undead yet? I'm tempted, but I hate zombies with a passion.

 

[Shackleton]

Accelerated Turns: A new option can be activated in the Gameplay section of the Options menu. It has 2 purposes:
Accelerate Player Turns by 15% (movement, animations, etc.)
Accelerate AI movement and athletic actions taken by 50% during AI turns

Thank god. Steam says I played this 35 hours and in the end the inability to speed everything up just eroded my desire to log in.

Not really bothered about another warband personally as I've still got 4 out of 5 of the previous to build up, but the speed increase alone might make me try it out again.
