It's obviously not intended, but bringing his charge speed closer to this actually seems quite nice.

@@StarryGlobe089 It would be funny having him drift super fast into people

@@StarryGlobe089 hold on, let me slow down to charge! I like to roll up on them all menacing like.

The question. Does this actually make him OP? He's pretty awful in multiplayer, and making him speedy speed boy is funny

Except the number used in calculations, i.e. calculating a charge, is the one of the unit card. So there is a visual movement cap but not a technical one.

Especially when the Ai ruins a legendary lord.

or to be ablee to spec in early game units and the lategame respec to completely different roster

This. Absolutely this.

Also Legend mentioned you can use ot to disband and relocate a lord quicker than normal ;)

@@charleslister8465 And save them if they arent immortal and about to be killed

well, always used mods for it which are still without a handicap.

Honestly i think u should be able to respec 1 skill point per turn...would be fair and allow tweaking of skills over time. Makes more sense too

Yeah alongside with actually disengaging your troops instead of getting stuck.

Grail Knight experience =)

I do agree. It never made sense to me. A griffon caverly rider trained to lead a fearsome majestic beast of the Empire, is halted by two zombies with lead pipes.

@@seermayton-el3488 And none of his buddies can process their guy being stuck, and instead of following my move order the just confusedly return to battle with the zombies.

it's not an olive branch, it's something to make the players shut up. It's going to be an olive branch when they apologize for banning the players for speaking out and lower the DLC prices.

do you work for CA?

They should also allow the wall towers to show directly to the sides so they can shoot people next to or climbing the walls. Tldr making the range cone 180 degrees

Pocket dimensions😂😂😂😂

Yeah, unless you can fully cover the entire wall with your units Walls are arguable worse (since the AI spends a turn building siege stuff to start it, costing you some garrison damage)

Maybe cause huge fatigue as well, they are climbing ladders up with huge armor.

Sieges will never be balanced. T4/5 Towers are to OP. Early sieges will always be pushovers and late sieges will always be totally annoying because of the guaranteed 20 stack sitting in every single city with another 16 sitting outside and t5 exploding, magical missiles wrecking your units...

I'd love to see the ability to construct artillery as temporary siege equipment, and make it harder for units to climb walls. You get the options of either scaling a wall with the towers, destroying walls with artillery, or bashing the gate with the ram or monsters in your army. Select thematic units should be able to climb walls without ladders or penalty, like gutter runners.

The cycle is repeating. People are going to forgive CA for doing good things for a few months before they betray them again.

They need to stop digging their own graves and actually make their game playable and not overpriced overall

Just wait for steam sales and you’ll be fine. It’s what I do

its on sales rn u should def pick it up

If it was worth the price C.a was mainly trying to cash in but alot were disappointed and didn't want to buy it so they started fixing the game the way the customers wanted and as i said, they will be able to increase the prices but don't take the piss.

I'm just drooling thinking that I can use doom knights of tzeetch properly now

Imho it was waaay to slow to ever be really useful. Maybe I play a lot faster, but having an army sit around for 10 turns to gain a single rank whilst you pay upkeep seems like a waste of resources. Even if you guard a border, moving out to plunder and pillage when there is no threat will train up your army faster and put some use to that dormant upkeep.

Training has been an issue, in that the amount of XP it gives is really too small to mean all that much. You'd rather put those points in, say, the red line, which buffs your army without you having to wait 20 turns. This solution is, I would guess, intended to make the skill as useful for relatively veteran armies as it is to green recruits. That said, I take your point that this has removed a role for the skill in allowing defensive armies to partly keep up with offensive ones. I guess buffing the XP gain would have made the skill powerful for early armies but still not that good for vets.

It's a hard nerf for Chaos Warriors. Trying to keep your late game marauders alive will be "fun".

Nothing forces you to use it if you don't want to. It's an option. You do not like it? Don't use it

Old training only gave 150 xp per turn and you require over a 1000 per chevron I believe. You'd have to be out of combat for over 10 turns just for a level which isn't ideal, especially since if an army hasn't seen combat in 10 turns it's probably unnecessary. Another downside is that embedded hero skills don't stack your army only takes 1 so you couldn't add additional heroes for more xp gain. At least with this new one fighting battles will give more xp (55% more when the skill is maxed out) which will contribute to leveling your lord and heroes faster along with your units a more substantial buff in my opinion

Guns can be quite useful on offence if you manage to push the defender off the wall. Standing on the wall they have quite good sightlines on the settlement and easily shoot over your melee troops. Still janky though.

​@@StarryGlobe089Yeah I usually do not play gun factions but I obliterated an imperial city with Sylvanian gunners on the wall firing at defenders.

@@StarryGlobe089 that's a pretty good tip! Still bad in unwalled settlements though

So are you only attacking major settlements or something? The majority of my battles are usually land battles with siege and settlement battles only a rare occasion.

@@edwardfontaine7108 I was going to say the same thing. I get mostly field battles, especially if their garrison decides to sally out from their safe, walled settlement for whatever reason.

@@edwardfontaine7108 I tend to play aggressive and hard, even on higher difficulty settings i end up with enemy armies just retreating in to settlements

Use mods that remove them game is way more fun. Or, use Old World mod!!

ALL they need, is to bring back carrying ladders Like Siege towers, but you get like 2 for free, and each build gives you another 3 or something So units can't just walk up to the wall and climb it. They're gonna have a limit of the locations they can climb. So you can actually defend it. As it is now. Unless you can defend the ENTIRE wall its pointless. They'll climb up and flank your unit. And Archers can be attacked in melee easilly with the butt-laders So unless you're in the Cathay Bastion where you get enough units and the wall's small enough. The walls are litterally a downside to defend in most cases (the AI spends a turn building siege gear and gives you attrition instead of full strength garrison

Some of your suggestions are currently in the game: - Units on walls should receive reduced missile damage already. - Elevation of ranged units increases missile damage, though I don't think it increases the range (see blogpost on terrain). - Units using ladders expend a great amount of stamina and lose melee attack and defence as a result of that. I do agree that some additional incentive to stay on the wall after the very first contact would be great, such as a melee buff as you suggested.

@@kharnthebetrayer8251 indeed, perhaps infantry can have climbing ropes for free, like in older total war games, but they would climb up it slowly, and only 1 or 2 can actually climb on it at the same time. When a soldier gets very close to the top a defender soldier can attack them, and the soldier climbing up would get a minus 30 or 40% melee defence whilst climbing. Lastly, each soldier that gets to the top will either be tired, very tired or exhausted. This would make more sense from a more realistic standpoint, climbing a rope is tiring, especially if you're equiped with weapons and armor, and one gets near the top a defending soldier can attack you, and since you're climbing a rope you'll be hard pressed to defend yourself

> _I think there should still be more incentive to defend the walls, like perhaps give defending units on the wall a 10 to 20% missile resistance,_ That's already the case. Sort of. Attacking from elevation gives up to 30% bonus damage and attacking units at elevation gives up o 30% penalty to damage. > _I also think that units defending the walls should get a plus 15 to 20% melee defence and melee attack, and units scaling the walls should get a minus 10 to 15% percent melee defence_ Again, already sort of a thing. Climbing ladders eats through vigor like nothing. So your units will be hitting those Fatigue debuffs. Also, since the models are trickeling in one by one, the defenders have plenty of opportunities to get flanking buffs. (That's why most people aren't using them)

@@kharnthebetrayer8251 Honestly it's probably impossible to make units carry ladders. Between the differences in unit models between all the different factions and the different unit models intra-factions, the work involved in making different ladder-carrying animations is beyond what the modeling team can realistically put time into. It's far better to have implied ladder carrying. It's not like ladders are hard to build, it's entirely logical that a full army can build them in a couple of hours from their baggage train or the surrounding area. And it's not like Total War has had ladders like this for a long time. They stopped making ladders after Medieval 2. Empire and Napoleon have infantry with grappling hooks to rapel up for fort walls, Shogun 2 has infantry climb walls with their bare hands and Rome 2 and Attila has a set of scaffolding ladders be built automatically for besieging armies. All that really needs to be done for ladders is to make the units climbing them more vulnerable so there's more incentive to use siege towers. Extra damage, chance to fall when attacked, period of vulnerability beyond just being tired when on the walls, stuff like that.

Yeah, I don't think sieges should cause attrition, but rather that armies will surrender or sally out when they run out of supplies, even at full health. So it lets you hole up and wait, but also incentivizes you to break the siege before you lose the settlement for nothing.

@@shorewall An idea for forcing a defensive siege battle would be taunting the enemy, giving them a buff but more often than not causing them to attack

@@shorewall then we just go back to game 2 where it took like 15 turns of sieges before the army surrendered, if not even more. nobody ever does that

I hate instant seige attrition, it feels stupid that my dwarf city instantly starts to starve the moment an army of goblins run up to seige the top city, that's basically a 24/7 thing for the dwarfs, not a, we can't even keep our troops fed

@@calebbarnhouse496 It's not like each turn is a month, and dwarves probably have enough food stored for decades depending on location. Unless the food is ale, then it's probably closer to 1 week at most regardless

@@burtreynolds8030 no no no you dont understand unless they price every DLC at 29.99 they will run out of money overnight they are practically broke

@@THENemesisXX99 I want more animations, capitalism doesn’t work.

It'd be too smart a business dlc strategy for ca to th8nk the one up

It does help, for starters, it means that rams are way better, they deal a lot of damage, the problem is they such because they take so Ling to reach the gate, with a larger HP pool the big ram damage is way more valuable, even if it's not optimal, and even still, time outside the gates is time your getting shot by the enemy
