Ports making slaves makes sense as it is there the slaves comes from, the changes are also decent enough to not make them run out of slaves every turn

Nice. The control issue alone was their biggest downside but now I gotta play them way more

Not many people covering this, but Costin, my compliments bro, well done! 👏

big fan of the dark elves (apart from Rakarth arguably) but this looks like some good fixes. Hoping for a proper Cult of Pleasure fix that actually includes big blobs of actual elven cultists and the Khaine stuff removed in the future :-)

This looks great, I play dark elves often my go to Dark Elf Mommy Morathi is just the best. Doesn't matter what iteration they're just cool.

I still miss my spreadsheet. It was nice to have just that little extra bit of depth to the economy.

Already loved Dark Elves in Warhammer III. Time to have even MORE fun ! Amazing video, thanks for the showcase.

Great video! Morathi is my favourite Legendary Lord so I'll look forward to playing her again. Just wanted to point out Slave Pens is no longed needed for Black Ark rite to be performed, it wasn't needed last patch anyway, I hope they haven't changed it back to being a pre-requisite.

the control changes sound pretty good. i hope the other changes don't make them braindead easy now, but the slave system was pretty punishing before.

Love the content Costin but you could benefit from editing out the bits where you repeat yourself a few times to confirm stuff. Just a suggestion hope you do well

Hell yeah, brother.

>literally the ability to print money yep, sure sounds like that Naggarothi Federal Reserve. 😂😂

I did back to back confederations on Crone and Malus and suddenly had the entire chaos wastes and rushed them all to high tier. Belakor took out the high elves which is unfortunate, I love offering Asur souls ti Khaine.

Did you put contrast to 200%, or why does it look so different?

I'm commenting before watching, please don't be a clickbait, do not play with my feelings

im convinced new malakith campaign time

seems like a painful place to get a tattoo. but makes sense for dark elves

Wish they'd have reverted it back to the slave system from WH2 tbh.

do you need to start a new game for this to work? I presume so but if you could confirm.

…. Interesting

I like the changes, but things like 20 slaves a turn with ports aren't a lot. Even at tier 3 40 slaves isn't even enough to cover both the building to increase population and money building losses. There I'd that one unique building that gives you 100 slaves per turn but it's at tier 4 and at that point in the game you slaves losses will go from like 500 per turn to 400 you are still losing a ton. There is no reason to get tones of them because whats the point that poblic order will just keep going down, so we might as well just keep it under 5 k. But I do like how we can use them to instantly complete a building and those comands.

Release date of the patch 3.1 ?

Looks good. I just hope they add some sort of unique mechanics to the DE lords with the Slaanesh update because right now playing one is exactly like playing any other except for Malus. They are way too generic.

I would actually argue the complete opposite to the "massive economy boost". I am not sure if it is intended or a bug but the dark elves lost their bonus to income for having a high number of slaves. It used to be +20% bonus income from all building when you had 10k+ slaves. Now you get no benefits for having a high number of slaves, only some negative control. The 20% bonus from all buildings is literally thousands if not tens of thousands per turn in a late campaign that you are not getting anymore

I find that using slaves to print money is never worth it because you're turning 300 slaves into 1500 while your income building can turn 25 slaves into 700 gold the difference in efficiency is so vast that I better I never use the income dictat preferring to use the excess slaves for growth and faster construction

The dark elves female lords look so outdated ... maybe that's why not a popular factions compared to others

Instant build is ridiculous. It is unrealistic and anti immersive. Im dissapointed with this rework. They also didnt add slaves to work in mines. This system is not good enough and need to be reworked again.
