i really hope CA doesnt waste their time making dlc for every damn elector count. Empire is so complete feeling is just needs toddy with ulric stuff and all the actual important bits of the empire are done. We dont need every little obscure kitbashed thing that has 3 words of reference from a 2nd edition book. I swear other youtubers and reddit thinks this is total warhammer: empire and forget that there is an entire game outside the empire lol

I just hope they don't forget Norsca and my boy Throgg

Bro, Alex Jones as the voice actor for him would be hilarious, but yeah that would be suicide for the game studio.

I just want Neferata.

If anything for a Josef Bugman rumors, I would love to see him as a FLC Lord. I know his model would be easy enough to make baseline with mostly recycled images for his buildings, a simple kitbash of Dwarf parts and some very basic animations, and only really one new model if they can't rig things up from pre-existing stuff but his voice lines could be very basic and easy enough to get a few lines for. I do think some approaches below may help make him a very fun lord. 01. Make his starting position variable. Do not make his starting position fixed to just one region, but give him a few locations he could go to which makes him close to a Legendary Lord of an Ordertide faction which will allow him to be an early Co-Op starter. Your friend likes the Empire? Start your campaign at Altdorf and be able to help him secure his territory and then assist in beating down the threats around him as well. How he expands his cities is visiting and paying some gold with a faction he has a non-aggression/trade pact with (Trading being beer as something he makes himself, but he can gain additional resources through his trade deals and settlements if the local owner builds the resource building). A big player base of this game is campaign with quite a few loving to work with (or against) their buddies, so I think this would be a great start. 02. Give his buildings variable effects. Changeling did well, but one thing that I think for a more overt version would be that your buildings should give more support. In this case it is order vs chaos/evil/whatever so make it where if there are order factions in control of the area the Bugman's buildings/undercity gives actual garrison troops, special effects, or larger buffs depending on how high you make it. If you want to get really spicy, make it where larger settlements get larger support due to better infrastructure (Imagine a T5 undercity settlement that gives a small bonus garrison of Dwarf Rangers and some basic warriors, plus something like rowdy or increased defenses at higher levels of buildings). However, if the place is taken by chaos/evil then his instead offer debuffs and turns the garrison into reinforcements for ordertide armies coming to reclaim the area (If your friend loses Altdorf your men are doing raiding parties to lower recovery rates, steal gold per turn, and basically lower some stats of local armies due to constant ambushes keeping them off-balance). 03. Have Grudges as more of a shared mechanic for him. This may seem blasphemous, but I do think that a focus on the Grudge system in its current state would only harm a Bugman playthrough if he is a supportive horde faction. Not only that, but many of the debuffs one would get from the grudges being low might not really hinder him so it would feel like a waste to even use it. Instead, perhaps we can have him focus on the assistance towards Grudges as a mass contribution (The more you do, the more buffs other Dwarfs get. Perhaps have some tweaking to faction potential to Dwarf factions the more you support the grudge system to keep them alive longer?). Maybe he can give back land to other factions if he defeats an area? 04. Perhaps faction restoration? Hard to find the right idea for this, but I wanted to see what would happen if we have him additionally helping factions and restoring them to make potential allies and trade partners who are lost to the evils of the world. If Bretonnia is wiped out before you get to them, then by destroying Grom/Whoever else is there maybe you can restore the place to the now destroyed faction, not only making them a potential ally (due to 'restoration' bonuses) but also be given either a free undercity bit or a discount for future ones in their territories, so long as you aren't at war. It would be for the factions who are native to that area, so you could give all of Bretonnia to the Lady or the King, if you so wished. You could restore the Empire to its original state or give it all to Franz. You could bring back all the Clans who were destroyed in the mountains, or give it all to Thorgrim, etc. 05. No trespassing penalties with ordertide factions and local buffs. Simple as that. Aside from maybe Wood Elves and Lizardmen, I figure Cathay, Dwarves, Humans, and maybe to a lesser extent Ogres might be willing to let you through their lands without too much issue. Local buffs could be for any Ordertide faction you are either in a non-aggression or in an alliance with as Bugman being in the area and selling off his beer could give public order bonuses, growth bonuses, maybe an economy stimulant or even impart special effects to allied armies such as lowered/perfect vigor if he's a high enough level. Mind you, all of this is flying by the seat of my pants. I would love to hear anyone's additional ideas over this. I imagine one of his mounts being a 'Bugman Cart' which is really just a fancy support chariot with some crossbowmen riders like a War Wagon. Their main role is to hang back just behind the support line and provide large buffs for allies which includes increased leadership, maybe more melee attack, and perhaps something dumb like Rowdy as long as they're within range. If not a buff from his mount, perhaps instead his army and local allies get 'Rowdy' while he's supporting the army?

Tamurkhan is awesome to play. All three lords so much fun and unique.

I really hope they don't Waite to add nagash as the last lord in an end times dlc lets be frank doing that is tempting fate to mess everything up and leave the fan base pissed.

Todd: "The Slanesshi are turning the frogs gay!"

I dont have a specific hope for the 100th LL, i just want to see a new Khorne campaign. Hopefully one without the RNG festival that is the "drawn to destruction" mechanic.

It would be really funny if the 100th Legendary Lord would just be a random fishman

Honestly I hope Khorne gets a new faction just so the minus diplomatic relations on Skarbrand actually does something lol

I agree on the nagash part, as much as we'd like to have him now, he will 300% be the last lord. Also greetings from Cluj

red duke would be possible in theory, even if i doubt it => valten could be outside the empire in campaign, allowing boris inside the empire so you have both types of campaigns (no slaanesh upset me, still waiting for my mage lord variant + melee agent variant... + annointed...)

i am still wondering what they will do with the part of the map that is still empty, does anybody knows this?

Toddy could get the drycha approch where there infanty get changed to ulrich units?

I'm genuinely curious how do tomb kings to be reworked? I think they are fine

As an Azhag player, If they implement Nagash as an ll, I hope they make a small lore bridge in between them. Otherwise it's gonna feel seriously weird

worried but apparently if the leaks are any true "hope not" final DLC is going to be Nagash and Neferata + vampire rework

Nagar is going to be 150th LL

Middenheim needs to be put in the right place, it's in the mountains, not the middle of nowhere.

As for empire, fix to heavy infantry would be option to dismount during battle, hate sieges with cav.

Want Bak Bak the rat legendary lord ❤️

Vampire counts don't need a rework? Outside getting that rather shitty bloodline mechanic VC has remained untouched since the grim and the grave. Tomb kings are the ones that don't need a rework. Plenty of interesting gameplay with them still. I agree the books of nagash need a switch up.

alex jones for voicing Boris)

nice video

So strange guys like the Verminlord and Valten aren't on the table.

If they introduce Nagash, it would be awesome if we get Sigmar as well.

No vampires don’t need a rework but when was the last time they got any new units?

Pitty, that CA themselves brought a game into stance, where they will try to sell few last pieces of most interresting stuff, instead of doing along what is neccesary and for whom is in dire need of some love. Lizzards, who is one of the bottom race i would play, aside of Oxyotl, does have litteraly 0 mechanics to play with. Felt appart really rapidly. HE are in similar position, so are the skaven althouh they have at least 3 of them having some fun bussines there in campaign. And i dont agree VC do not need a mechanical rework. Sure raise dead and bloodkisses are some of the mechanics. BK are done at turn 70 if i rush it and useless furthermore. RD was coppied in a form of special units or mechanics for rakarth, drycha, esentially whole WoC recruitment is on same basis, that it can not be even considered a unique mechanic. As for their strategy- sure i can and will throw whatever cheap chaff to waste enemy ammo while finishing them of with valuable strong stuff but a fact is, that currently their shallow tech tree and red dots in skill tree do not provide enough to be a comparable force in a 1 vs 1 scenario of late game stacks.

Boris. Thanquil. Nagash Don't think they'd do it but border princes

13:14…was that supposed to be a dramatic pause? 😂

Nagash will be in the last dlc so hopefully not the 100th LL 😬

Would rather have legions of Nagash as a separate faction. Lots of heroes and leaders, Constants Drachenfals, Hand of Nagash, Dreadlord of nagash. Dread abyssal hounds. Giant bone snake, moghast angels and flying black pyramids.

Finubar for Elves, Tetto'eko for Lizardmen, Abhorash (please) for Vampire Counts

Thrones of decay can't be the floor if they really only going for 1 more year of development

Cathey again we just got one of their DLC why not high elves and dark elves her next dlc was slennesh themed

I kinda what they to do another ogre lord for the flc cause if they do the red dragon as flc then cathy will have 5 lords and the orges who i think needs a rework much more would still only have 3 lords.

Skavenblight the chaos dwarf capital? What?

Halflings

for me its either thankol or nagash. I like bad guys more,

THANQUOLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Vampire counts don't need a rework" that's when I call it a bullshit, they desperately need rework, their whole military buildings are pointless

Bro why the fuck would empire get a flc and dlc after getting a faction rework (another one, might i add) and a dlc ... High Elves were already bare bones in faction mechanics when they came out and HAVE REGRESSED since then because they removed vision from trading. Like holly FUCK high elves need a factionwide rework and changes to start positions or SOMETHING...

If you could have Nagash next or *THANQUOL* who are you picking?! Pick-choose quickly, *MAN-THI----* eeerr The council would *appreciate* your cooperation. Yes-yes.....

Vampire counts don’t need a rework. Those are fighting words.

Maybe I am just too weird but I think some of the faction mechanics are sometimes unecessary thats just me if the general public likes them obviously they are good.

Nagash and Toddy are dlc material, they would sell too much to simply waste them as 100th LL, Bugman would be meh, i think Thanquol with council mechanic, verminlords and stormfiends are the best choice

I agree with the Valten angle because Valten was defacto leader of Middenhein during the endtimes

I really hope they don’t stop adding dlc.

Nagash and Thanquol confirmed in the end times dlc.

Idk none of these seem as special as Nagash imo

Smaller or "mini" DLCs are stupid and everyone would call the added factions unfinished. "Norsca" or "Ogres" anyone.

I kinda disagree with Nagash. He's basically like a God at this point, adding him would be something like adding the Chaos Gods themselves as Legendary Lords. And Sigmar, too. Valten? Yeah, sure but Sigmar?

Kinda getting sick of people still clamouring for ´mo empire, mo dwarfs!' When so many factions are still underwhelming. Fix norsca, ogres and vampire coaster first. Then work on some of the less served races

Alex Jones? Fucken hell. What a weird take.

I think vampires do need a rework. Their mechanics are hot garbage.

100th lord JOSEPH FUCKING BUGMAN!!!!

If it's free I expect Thanquol or Surtha Ek. If it's paid I expect Southern Realms/Dogs of War.
