They've been doing some livestreams showcasing faction mechanics and showed off Nagash:



The Black Pyramid mechanic looks nuts, looking forward to this one.

Skaven and Nagash got really strong units and mechanics. Boris got…..nothing.

Yeah, I'm just going to confederate Boris on my 100th Karl Franz playthrough anyway. As long as he's good as a LL, I'm happy.

...Also, we haven't fully seen whatever his faction mechanics are, have we? I'm sure they won't be as ridiculous as Nagash, but they really shouldn't be anyway.

Boris has his own campaign mechanics:

Only messed with Nagash a bit so far. He's a fucking beast, but trying to keep your territory is a real bitch with the basically non-existent garrisons in anything other than a Necropolis.

The important question is, can he make Settra serve?

Shockingly easily!

I played about 20 turns of Nagash's campaign last night, and it's really great. Settra is going to be one of your first targets (you need to kill him for the Short Victory conditions), and Settra still has both Mannfred and Skarbrand breathing down his neck. I suspect that playing a Legendary Settra campaign will be one of the harder campaigns now.

As for Nagash - the campaign is fantastic so far. I'm not very deep into it, but my general take is that - while Nagash himself is a powerhouse - he can't be everywhere at once. The Necromatic Energy currency he uses is in very short supply early on, as are sigils to empower the Black Pyramid and do your tech research. Luckily, it's very easy to recruit Arkhan the Black as your first Mortarch, which helps with getting a second strong army up and running. I particularly like the Black Pyramid, as it forces you to really think about your armies and campaign goals.

Loving this DLC so far, even though I just scratched the surface. I know it's going to eat up my entire weekend, and I'm looking forward to it.

I realize nothing will make you people stop swilling down whatever garbage this piece of shit company shits out but this is kinda funny.

Warhammer is a good game. Don't care about the rest of their catalog or about 1 dude reviewing his own game. I assume all companies are doing this. Why wouldn't they? You think he'd be smart enough to use an anonymous account though.

I'd be a lot more worried about the Indian bot farms and their robo reviews.

It comes following them basically getting review bombed, rightfully so because they used shitty AI to upscale the graphics and it leds to some weird shit(main example I've seen ppl post is one of the general's face which due to coloring AI interpreted as a metal faceplate so it looks like a robo-shogun instead) and then them announcing they'll be potentially pulling the entire remake out and re-adding the original Shogun(which when they released the remake they made unavailable). Just a shitshow from the SEGA suits trying to bank on one of their most successful older games but cutting corners because obviously they would.
