Going through the stuff, interesting that they're bringing back -em(easy mode), kinda. Faster gold, buy anywhere, faster respawns for casual stuff. Ability draft getting fixed after 5years or whatever too lol. Now on to the actual notes. New heroes look eh, guess we'll see, didn't seem that...

I'm sure you could find some results with semi decent sample size somewhere on reddit for some of the more common item slots to vaal like chests for +1 gem, but don't really remember one recently and maybe no one ever bothered to keep track. Anyway, chances are lower to get the stronger mods...

Have to own both for the mortal empires stuff yes. Can buy either games and they're pretty solid, 2 has some improvements in UI and stuff but 1 was perfectly fine. The current sales aren't the lowest prices though so can be worth waiting if you want to save some money.

I watched the QuickBomb review video thing or whatever, well parts of it, and apparently all the motion control shit is indeed meh, but it's also super optional and rarely actually useful/used. The guy who was doing the review apparently had cleared the game with all the moons bonus things so...

Mortal Empires is out, along with a rather large patch that fixes most issues with TW:W2. Patch is 4.5gb, ME is 600mb on top, go to DLC, then click Mortal Empires and hit the download button there. If you try to buy it, even though it's 0$ it'll bring the usual payment shit which is pointless.

Oh I see it now, I remember doing some searches a little while after the release of the game but most googled results were saying shit like it's not possible or only low difficulties and shit, but I guess people got better, especially since True Solo is a thing now. That's interesting. Might...

Well it looks like they're actually making a game at least, so good for them, Brad didn't run with the money. Now if they can actually release a product that's better quality than Vanguard at release though, I still have my doubts. I'd expect they'll release this as early access and it'll be a...

Well in that demo they play with bots so I'd assume so, but haven't played. I'd definitely play like a solo version of this type of FPS, kinda like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic with neat melee combat and shit especially since I like Warhammer, but the coop aspect is pretty much a pass for me...

Yeah honestly pet control is so much better in this than PoE it's pretty stupid. Especially since the pet command isn't taking a fucking gem slot or has a 8 seconds fucking cooldown. Want to move shit out of an aoe, sure, want to move shit in melee range so they can shotgun their aoes, sure...

I'm like 96 on my summoner Cabalist, halfway through the expansion areas on Ultimate, going pretty well so far, other than the stupid retarded Nemesis beast, luckily as summoner I can just outrun it since it bugs out trying to hit summons on the way until it "loses" me. It's pretty fun but I...

The map is bigger, but not as big as both games combined, they cut a bunch of stuff from the new world, specifically all the garbage islands to the west of lustria(where Teclis starts and going further north along the coast) and like a good bit south of lustria and southlands(where Kroq usually...

Steam reviews can be a good warning for shitty DLC practices and such. Kinda need to read a few to see what the trend is and why it's getting bad scores in general. Goes from the usual unfinished/buggy/can't run shit, to the "too much DLC fuck off" and there's always the "no china translation...

You'll actually get a bonus with Naggarond, gets bigger every ritual, so you can confederate them more easily. It'll just break your trade/non agression with skaven if you had any, and it's unlikely you had anything with HE or Lizards to begin with as DE.

Once someone hits 4th ritual, they will declare war on everyone else(I assume if you hit 4th, everyone declares war on you too although I'm generally late). You can't engage in diplomacy at all past that point either with other ritual races. Very hard should be a noticeable difficulty bump due...

Generally speaking, you want to expand in the direction that'll make that side safer faster. Say you're kinda close to the sea, or some mountains or whatever, expand there first, so you can then go the other way and be "safe" on that side. If you can't be safe, it's good to expand until some...

As most campaigns, you want to fight manually a bunch early game to reduce your losses and stuff but as you progress there's less and less incentive to do so. Once you're on endgame composition, you win most autoresolves with minimal losses. Like my 7phoenix guards 7archers 2dragons 1bolt...

Not ingame no. You can however do it with an external program. I'm using GD Stash for like, storing shit and what not and it can be used as a cheat program too. There's an actual trainer that's simpler to use for this but not sure if it was updated. For GD Stash you need to go to the forums to...

I installed GD stash to clean out my shit without using mules and it does have a character edit part where you can specify most shit. Doesn't come with gear in the database though, I assume however you could find a file to import with all the gear. For stats it's pretty much the same for...

Yeah some of that was in when I played, the east march was. Hidden path is new, Valbury yeah. They also changed some drop rates on a bunch of stuff since I last played. I'm getting quite a lot of recipes, when originally I got like 3 total clearing the game on normal other than quest rewards...

K nice, going slowly because I'm still doing the "I must discover all the map" leveling, which is probably fucking stupid but I like it. I also noticed they added a bunch of new areas since last time I played at launch. Like side high difficulty areas, kinda like the steps of whatever with the...

I restarted a new char to enjoy the necro stuff but wondering, can you access the new zones in each difficulty? Like will they be accessible at the end of act4 on normal too or do I need to get my ass to Elite first? So far liking Necro summoner, the skeletons are pretty cool, feels more...

They posted saying they're adding more wards to all housing zones in 4.2. Haven't said how many wards though, so wouldn't expect too much from it. Making larger appartments with some sort of gardening would definitely help a bunch, although a lot of people still want an actual house, for the...

They should remove them though and just have everything centurio, allied seals are super shit and you need a fuckton for mountspeed in the old zones. I was lucky I had stockpiled a bunch at the end of ARR and since they never added anything that used them in HW I still had them when SB started...

Eh I don't know, I think the 2nd game is quite a lot better than the first especially not counting the DLC factions, the races are way more refined and the campaign is quite a lot more intense, although there's some bullshit in the way the vortex armies are spawned. But I guess if you don't...

Yeah I'm sure late game they're the craziest since they have a bunch of economy buildings AND slaves are basically a massive economy increase everywhere if you can deal with them, was just saying the start was annoying, I had to kill 3revolts in the first 10turns or whatever, until I turned off...

Well yeah obviously they're gonna fall off, but instead of acting as main damage sources by spawning them from behind, you can spawn them in front of charges/to surround big stuff and just have them tank damage for free. And yeah they'll still kill artillery instantly, and most ranged units...

I think this just differs between factions and stuff. Skaven is the other way I found, where growth is plentiful, hell when you capture a settlement, you can spend their Food unique ressource to directly upgrade it, if you have enough food you can just get it to lvl 5 right away(it's A LOT of...

I finished my first vortex campaign on very hard with lord skrolk. 186 turns, ~60hours, half the fights done manually(which is why it took so long). Was really enjoyable, I prevented any other factions from finishing their 5th ritual before I did mine. Last battle was a bit disapointing however...

Yeah that's how I learned too, I think I watched a bunch of turns by him and Legendoftotalwar who only plays legendary and cheeses stuff a lot, it's interesting to see how he deals with stuff and can give you some good ideas, although if you cheese to the level he does it can get pretty boring...

Skrolk was a rough starting position(literally enemy on every sides) but I really love Skaven gameplay. Turn 125ish atm, way behind on rituals but I have almost enough to do all of them, sadly this'll take a bunch of turns. I own almost all of Lustria minus half a dozen of settlements still...

Haven't had a single crash yet so not sure what's up with that. There's been a couple of weird AI things, but not that bad, stuff like the computer letting some of his units just stand there(ironically that makes the AI more "human" since most people will tend to forget random units at times)...

For the armies, it really depends on the race and how early it is and so on, expanding is kinda the same depends on the situation on the map, generally it's safer to expand towards an "edge", so you don't have to worry about that direction anymore, and then expand into one direction, leaving...

Uh removing materia is definitely going to kill the market entirely since there's basically no need for materias anymore once you have acquired the few you need. I guess overmelding still breaks materias so crafter/gatherers will still need some but even for that it's a huge step if you can...

Hmm I don't know, I find the humor super limited in this game overall? I mean yeah the animals all talk with funny animal voices and a bunch of them have stupid dialogues, but a lot of them are pretty serious too(just still with the cartoon voices). And other than those, almost everything was...

It's not even the devs it really depends on the game itself, since for some they'll have x company port it and for another y company and shit like that. The port of Dragon's Dogma was really good though for example(well mostly, as usual there's still some stuff you want to find mods for) so...

You can and should probably take multiple tags. Not necessarily all of them(not even sure you can), but like slap some scholar or mystic or whatever on top so you get more options than just Jester. Alternatively pick an Origins, I know Lohse has Jester, and they have their own stories which are...

The tiers are the stats. 30melee defense from a tier 1 unit is the same as 30melee defense from a tier 4 unit. Just they give tier 1 units lower stats and tier 4 units higher stats, what you need is a mod that rebalance the stats, since the stats are already being applied properly. There's a...

Healing spells only scale off level and the relevant school that affects them(hydro for magic armor/vitality, geo for phys armor). Don't scale off int or any other stat. That one Necro spells that does damage and heal scales off int for the damage part and I have no idea how the healing part...

For new players it seems they made some tutorial page thing Total War Academy Looks kinda garbage to navigate but there's a lot of videos explaining most of the basics to get started. I personally just watched a few "let's play" first 10-20turns from various streamers when I started to see how...

Town is the right way. Either get arrested and escape, or bribe the fuckers, or if you're feeling a bit crazy kill everyone, but the other 2 options are better. There's a lot of shit in town to do, and then you can figure out where you want to go based on the other stuff. What I like about act2...
