Radagast as Jade Wizard? Heresy!

I would love to see the below updates to the below lords: General becomes a jack of all trades lord, Arch Lector becomes the buffer lord, Wizard lords for magic, Master Engineer for missles and artillary, Huntsman General for ambushes, Grand Master as the Melee Machine.

Middenland Pack LL: Emil Valgeir LH: Valten L: High Priest of Ulric H:Priest of Ulric Knights of the White Wolf Teutogen Guard Wolf-Kin Hunting Hounds Empire Pack LL: Kurt Helborg LH: Ludwig Schwarzhelm L: Knight Grand Master H: Knight Seneschal Knights Panther Reiksguard Infantry Celestial Hurricanum Imperial Dragon Elector Counts Character Pack Boris Todbringer (Runefang+Sield) Marius Leitdorf (Runefang+Extra Weapon) Valmir von Raukov (Runefang+Bow) Aldebrand Ludenhof (Runefang+Bird)

The problem with Grandmasters is they are specific characters. There is a specific Grandmaster for each Knightly Order. I just wish we would get each of them as unique Lords who are added to the pool of the first Empire Faction that builds their Knightly Order Headquarters

What would be great for a knight orders dlc is foot knights which could be upgraded to all the orders. And the same could be made for empire knights and the demygriphs so you can get the actual horse knights of every order and also demis of every order.

0:40 lol isnt that a Radagast from the lord of the rings miniatures game on the right side?

Halflings I would like as a sort of side roster character for the empire, Say we get Marius and he got some halfling units kinda like Arkhan has some vamp units. Unlikelly given that Marius starts next door to Elspeth, but eh. Alternativelly I think it`s time to return the multiple LL same startpos thing from WH1, where Karl Franz, Balthazar Gelt and Volkmar started at the same place but needed some conditions to meet to unlock other LLs, would help with map overbloat.

Imo, what we really need is an army painter and a lord designer akin to some historical total wars who dont have very unique in-depth mechanics, but in exchange, you can make it very customizable with arny effects so you can design Stirland for instance with a focus on infantry with stalk. There's a lot more potential in making this system than there's worth in making every electoral count, imo maybe they could make templates with the faction they wont make legendary lords, but I wouldn't go further than that

Middenheim DLC with Ar Ulric Valgeir and Boris as FLC. Kurt Helborg DLC with a focus on knightly orders and Ludwig Shwartzhelm as a LH maybe Celestial Hurricanum as the center peice unit and FLC wizard lords. And ill consider the empire complete.

Meanwhile what is missing for poor old Norca XD 😅

Three things I would like to see. 1. Toddbringer ... obviously. 2. I really do like your thoughts on the church system. I think each church giving unique buffs would make a lot of sense, and making them available to all lords who start as electors. 3. Halflings. Conquering the world with rams, roosters, rolling pins and the hot pot steam tank would be fabulous. I also like the idea of knightly order buildings bringing reduced upkeep to specific knights. Maybe make it something only Kurt Helborg can do as a unique lord, and let Karl unlock him after completing a short victory. That could be part of Karl's long victory. Just a thought. Anyways, thank you for the great video. I hope you have a great weekend.

sisters of sigmar please danke, also grandmaster should have quest for them in order to decide where in the orders they’ll fit in, thatd be nice innit

I have a feeling they are going to do a homebrew version of End Times that is both ET and Storm of Chaos mixed together. We could see Valten then.

I think the Empire could a Champions-of-Chaos-style DLC that adds all the extra Knightly Orders, Regional Unit Variants, other religions and 2 elector counts to round everything up. So it would be Ostland with von Rauken (possibly some kislev allied unit mechanic), Middenland with Boris (Ulric-based one) and Averland with the Mad Count (could start anywhere plus his madness as a mechanic). With the 4th Lord I could see recycling the mechanic from the deamon prince and make your own custom freshly-appointed count to rebuild Drakwald as a province.

I'd love to see halflings even just as units you can recruit from Mootland.

Dunno about anyone else, but I wouyld buy a faction pack for all of the Elector Counts. You could add in a ton of unique heroes. Mixu has done a great job already tbf.

That's a good idea for Boris/Ar-Ulric - copying the Vlad system solves the issue of them wanting the same start position.

Very solid video. Really appreciate you pushing the character pack idea.

Glad to finally see this thanks for the continued content!

I would like to see more videos like this for all the races. Im someone that only recently got into total war and warhammer i enjoy seeing all the crazy units in this universe. Keep up the great work!

Kurt, Ludwig and Middenheimmers most notably.. and halflings. Fantastic 8th ed models and even in the Army books. Grandmasters, Knights Panther, Knights of the White Wolf, Tuetogen Guard. There are mods but Empire has always been missing its soul until CA does these.

>What's Still Missing For EMPIRE >Takes out a really big book The Empire has a ton of stuff to add. Not only the Wizard Lords, not only the Grandmasters/Senechals along with a ton of Knight Orders, not only anything that is part of the Cult of Ulric, but loads of other cult stuff (like Longshanks for Taal-themed forces) as well things like other races living in the Empire (not only Halflings, but also Dwarfs and Elves that too join Empire Forces...not to mention Imperial Ogres). Also Valten ain't a Mary Sue...nor a Gary Stu. BTW: Children of Ulric and White Wolves for the Cult of Ulric. BTW2: Halflings would have enough to be their own faction.

Knights Panther and Knights of the White Wolf are a must. They are 2 of the 3 Major Knightly Orders and they are not in game. Knights Panther should have Pelts and the more squarish shaped shields.

The Empire could get a DLC only for them, a culture and religion pack were they could bring all that diversity of the cultures and cults inside the Empire in to the game! The Halflings could be in there as part of the Cultures, as any others that are missing, and i do believe that it would be a good selling DLC!

While i'd be MORE than happy with getting more Empire DLCs, there are more factions in need of a proper rework and content. Focusing more on the Empire, while pleasing, it shouldn't be the priority. Then again, it depends on how CA views it in terms of sales.

Now that we have doomseekers it is now much clear how warthmongers will be if there get added.

I like how the life wizard you showed is actually radagast from lotr sbg

What i hope for is the ability to recruit empire units in different elector count colors. Like a landmark building called the Electoral recruiting ground in each provincal capital, with 2 or 3 levels giving you accsess to empire state troops in the provinces colors. And some adding like boosts to stats, like the one in Ostland boosting spearmen,Wissenland ironsides and so forth.

Marius, we need MARIUS!

I'd say that Kurt as the LL and Ludwig as the LH would be perfect in a pack that literally just adds in 4 new knightly orders and then Reiksguard on foot as an elite late game sword and board unit. I agree with all your suggestions for an Ulric pack too and I'd love Toddy's unique mechanic to be some form of secession from Franz, potentially bringing Electors he's gained the loyalty of with him in a bid to become Emperor (and then gain the full Elector Counts mechanic). For a final DLC I would call it "Summon the Elector Counts" and add in the remaining Elector Counts (excluding Toddy obviously or the countess of Nuln given we gave Elspeth) and then the relevant missing variants of Empire Captain for each region too.

I do think there's room for more sub-specializations of the Arch Lectors and Warrior Priests by religion, and not just for Sigmarites and Ulricians. A Myrmidian High Priest running an army makes a lot of sense, possibly bringing logistics related buffs - extra ammo etc, he's spent his entire life teaching people how to do that. And you could also have the head of the Nuln Arrow Academy as a specialized Empire General. A Taalite or Rhyanan High Priest might bring more nature related buffs - vanguard deployment, movement range, detection radius, attrition. The High Priest of Manaan might bring more movement range on water, or debuffs/attrition for enemy factions using the rivers and seas. Warrior Priest versions for Myrmidia, Taal/Rhya and Manaan are obviously possible. but with Trickster cults and plagues spreading through the Empire, there's room for the less-militant religions to take a role, though more as strategic map agents than on the battlefield - investigators for Verena and Morr, even Ranald, doctors for Shallya, economics buffs for Handrich (have to think about how to handle the what's in it for me? angle). Road Wardens and River Wardens might make for specialised variants of Witch Hunters.

I think having a general "upgrade tree" for a grand master would work. The one included in the ToD upgrade isn't horrible, with a bit of a tweak it could work . For Ulric and maybe other faiths (and knightly orders) having alternative temple chains and chapter houses would be a good way to introduce them, each coming with its own templars/secular knights, warrior priests/seneschals and flagellants/squires. The Empire has enough variants and lords for a Champions of the Empire DLC, same as the Vampire Counts for a bloodlines pack.

So a middenheim dlc would be a easy one for a 3 lord format especially because there isn't anything big or ridiculous to add, it would look like this I think - Emil valgeir LL - boris LL FLC - grandmasters - Warrior Priest of Ulric - hunting hounds - wolf kin - warriors of ulric - teutegoen gaurd - knights of the white wolf - knights panther The rest however is a bit more difficult, you could easily have a e pure character pack to put in the rest of the chacaters so that leaves us with wizard lords and the celestial hurricanum who I think should have been in thrones of decay but I think will be best fitted as part of a unit pack and the end series just to get them in

I don't think CA will determine whether the game is done or not on the basis of whether important characters/units are still missing from each side. That is like to say that gaming companies do not produce on the basis of expected profitability.

Very surprised Cult of Ulric from WH2 hasn't been ported. Adds alot of the things you mentioned.

Knights of Morr are in-game and got a good amount of synergy in elsbeth’s campaign.

Yeah I feel character pack DLCs would work well with the scrap dlc addons to just fill in the missing units

So you are saying Halflings should get half an DLC...

I'm holding out hopes for halfings till the very last moment.

Do you have a link for this gorgeous combined wallpaper?

The thing with getting more stuff for Empire is that other factions will fade even more in their shadowI Feel like empire, lizards, dwarfs, High Elves, Dark Elves, skaven are in a good place now. Perhaps some balancing here and there, but overall good. If they had to choose I rather have them work on new factions like Nippon or Araby

I had a thought, what if Bretonnia got a Knightly Orders mechanic that it partially shared with the Empire. Bretonnia gets full access to all knightly orders from lands that it conquers/allies with (being the knight factiona nd all), while Empire only gets partial access (only its native knightly orders count). I personally don't like how Empire's knights are all basically the same outside of a few stats shuffling, and it would be nice if they were focused more on abilities or as a reward than "oh gee, what flavor of knight do I want today?"

LORDS Aldebrand Ludenhof, EC of Hochland Boris Todbringer, EC of Middenland Valmir von Raukov, EC of Ostland Marius Leitdorf, EC of Averland Ludwig Schwartzhelm, Emperor's Champion Kurt Helborg, Reiksguard Captain Emil Valgeir, High Priest Ar-Ulric Thyrus Gormann, Grand Master of the Bright Order (former Supreme Patriarch) VALTEN Grand Master Wizard Lord High Priest of Ulric HEROES Warrior Priest of Ulric MELEE INFANTRY Warriors of Ulric Teutogen Guard Reiksguard on Foot Wolf Kin MELEE CAVALRY Knights Griffon Sons of Mannan Knights Panther Knights of the WHITE WOLF Knights of the Twin-Tailed Orb WAR MACHINES Sigmar's Hammer Steam Tank Von Zeppel Steam Tank Implacable Steam Tank

Well the Grandmasters can be added in a similar system like the one on the Maggot Lord - psedo-heroes. And perhaps 1 full pack with not many/at all units but with all the elector counts. 1 pack for Middenland.

A mischief faction like the Halflings could work like the Changeling or what's being proposed for Bugmann: a focus on creating outposts, buffing allies, debuffing enemies, & silly conditions. Have their campaign be a manic parody of Tolkien where they go on quests across the world for completely frivolous purposes like rare delicious mushrooms or particularly shiny trinkets. For me, though, I await in hope for Marius Leitdorf. Let me appoint horses as governors, declare war on bees, lay siege to rivers, all that mad nonsense. So what if he's "dead" at this point in the timeline, that never stopped Repanse! Hell, make him a ghost like Cylostra for added mad ghost wackiness!

I just bought the newest DLC and I’m loving Malakai

the chaos knights of four chaos gods was merely an method to fill up the four chaos god's individual roster, and it has already cause the chaos warrior roster to greatly swell , do the same thing to the empire, and you shall face the much bigger problem when the many knight orders are just reskin of each other as the current three knights already cover up all possible knight design

It’d be cool to collect all the elector counts as Karl Franz and every count has their army composition that works best with that elector count. But now I think of it, the Empire having 10 legendary lords would be rather strong for the empire when fighting against them. What could be done is that the legendary lords are only playable through confederation, like how Boris Toddbringer works

GW might not have done anything with them on the table top but IMPERIAL DWARFS

Halflings being as part of the Empire, kills two birds with one stone, with their LL being in the Mootland.

So basically a couple of halfling units would be much appreciated. Honestly, that would be enough representayion of halflings for me

So for the various memes, for what is still missing for empire, I can say a single flying cavalry option like gryphon riders with no armor and maybe feral gryphons.

I hope to see all this video in game. Empire need Ulric DLC.

the possibilities of what could be added to empire..oh the sweet kopium

Just got WHIII. Where did the temple of Sigmar level 5 building go?

The same mechanism used for upgrading choas warriors I cant agree more

I want my 4 unique Elector Counts, Emil Valgeir, Ludwig Schwarzhelm, Kurt Helborg, Celestial Hurricanum, Ulric units, Sisters of Sigmar units and characters, Halflings and so on.

That sum up with Mixu's Legendary Lords, mostly, right?

Goddamn Boris Todbringer. How in the name of Ulric did they not make this happen yet!?

first for units: Repeater Handgunners Blunderbuss Handgunners Dragon mount for Karl Franz griffons similar to knights of Tor Gaval : considering they are the most griffon orienter faction and allows griffon mounts for even the generic lords it makes a lot of sense generic lords/ Magister Patriarcs/Magister lords for all the winds of magic a Wizard with Ice Magic : (I don't think there are any Ice magic school in the empire, but, during the end times Gregor Martak who was an Amber Wizard recived the blessing of Ulric allowing him to use Ice magic, if CA ever dicides to make middenheim in to a faction having Ice magic would be a interesting addition) Wolfs/Hounds as war beasts Valten as a legendary Lord either give master ambushers for huntsment or introduce a New missile unit with Master ambusher a mid tier Cav unit who is anti large (can be knights of the knights of the white wolf) Foot Knights (Armored and shielded late game infantry) for mechanics: Imperial Zoo: basically occuping or having trade deals with factions with perticular landmarks will allow you to recrute empire versions of units from different factions like having trade relations with bretonia will give you acess to Empire knights on pegasus or Coldones with Lizard men Dragons with High Elves tree kin with wood elves this can even work with occuping regions that are hostile to the empire, like occuping a landmark in Norsca will give acess to a wolves with frosbite Empire Pantheon: allow for the construction of temples for different gods of the empire pantheon that gives buffs in the region building a temple of Taal will give stalk or forward deployment for units in forrest battles building a temple for Morr will give buffs when dealing with vampires

I'm curious as to why you acknowledge that the knights of the Raging Bull are part of the States troop, but never that the Knights of Morr are. They might not be what you want them to be, but they are.

Still missing: Unit command groups, battle standard bearers, army painter. Bringing in Ludwig Schwarzhelm as a legendary hero would be the perfect opportunity to add BSB's into the game, with suitably epic magic banners! It's a whole side of tabletop that's been left out of all three games and I find it quite perplexing why it wasn't added.

Knights of Morr aren't missing. They're one of the Elector Count troops. Knights of the Everlasting Light too. I'm somewhat disappointed that you've not noticed that, but then again, I have been playing a LOT of Empire recently. Elspeth also gets even easier access to Knights of Morr with one of her Black Garden buildings. Again, it's okay to not know it I guess, but it's a bit disappointing that it wasn't double checked. And it isn't the first time. Saying that Knights of the Black Rose should have been Knights of Morr was silly, since Knights of Morr have been in this game for bloody ages. Wasn't there a big kerfuffle over their in game model back in TWW2? Empire Generals are pretty nice now, actually. I like having a Griffon option, and they've been buffed. I would take them before an Arch Lector sometimes. It's really all about flavour. No no, it's the Huntsman General who now needs some work! He's a dude with a bow competing with a dude with a Grenade Launcher who can get a tank! Give the bow guy "Snipe" as a late game skill, at least! There are a lot of factions missing characters generally. I'd be down for a general "character pack" for a bunch of different factions.

So, making the Warrior Priest and Arch Lector having variants. Like Cathays Yin/Yang versions of the same Lord/Hero?

We need Leitdorf vs Kurt Helborg for a good Empire v Empire DLC with the halflings as the 3rd DLC faction. Should Helborg be his own LL? Absolutely. He leads the empires armies on behalf of the emperor and as a faction could see the chapter masters brought in as a mechanic Leitdorf is nuts and you could have a campaign mechanic similar to the Luthor Harkon where he gets the option to follow normal human advice or the advice of his beloved horse. Could be an absolute nuts campaign. Declaring war on whoever the dice roll

It would be neat if they could update the General Lord so that it becomes a Chapter Master as they rank up. Rework their whole skill tree rather than add another lord option. The General lord and the Arch Lector was always seemed too similar after all.

Hey man! Could you talk about Bretonnia?

I want ulric units ridding giant wolves. They have like 2 lines in the lore but a man can dream.

definitely need the ulric units and characters and then as a bonus som halflings and knights panther. also hounds and kurt/ludwig if we are lucky and if we are really lucky some Taal stuff!!!!! ps: imperial ogres

I would get Emil as LL and Toddy as FLC, Valten as LH also priest lore of Ulric as magic lore in that DLC as a generic lord I would put in Wizard, and as LH Knight Order Captain. With Middenland armies that could be one DLC. Maybe even Hurricanum can be added to that DLC or as a FLC with that update.

the empire is already strong on magic with its 8 wind wizards, and they got enough gun powder as its faction feature. Adding wizard lords will absolutely broke the empire since players will only recruit jade wizard lords then.

Strong infantry line for tanking

I certainly want a great weapon knight units like the Questing Knight more than Todbringer

I don't think the empire or the dwarfs are going to get any updates in the future , maybe they are going to add Boris as free legendary lord but outside of that i think they are done with both dwarfs and the empire ... i hope im wrong .

I'm pretty sure I read CA saying they actively decided against Spellcaster Lords for the Empire in general. Maybe GW doesnt want that or something.

My personal take, we may get one more DLC for The Empire and I'd be supprised if caster lords don't happen at some point. I would be quite surprised if all the elector counts get fleshed out by CA and we seem more than a RoR or two from the halflings. I understand where you are coming from when you say "It's not done" but at this point I think that is an unrealistic expectation for CA to fulfill.

Griffin hounds would be a cool addition 2.

Marienburg LL is what we need

I'd love w warrior's of chaos like dlc With three to four LL

Halfling Legendary Lord with Grom's cooking mechanics, except less gross.

Middleland 10 year annerversy would be p. Hype.

Thought this would be an hour long

Toddbringer as a free LC with some unique mechanics is not out of the way similar to Thorek

Hear me out: All the Elector Counts as FLC Legendary Lords.

The fact that CA added a joke character like Tiktaq'to before any of the missing Empire stuff you mentioned, especially knights of the white wolf, or some of the bigger characters that have been there from the beginning like Kurt Helbrog and Ludwig Schawarzhelm (or THANQUOL and NAGASH!) is the most unforgiveable of all crimes against humanity.

What about Thyrus Gormann? He's the former Supreme Patriarch and current Magister Patriarch of the Bright Order. Despite being replaced by Gelt as the Empire's top wizard, Gormann is still a very powerful battle wizard and one of Karl Franz's most trusted friends and wields a lot of political power. His campaign mechanic could be similar to the Huntsmarshal Expedition, and he could focus on researching technologies as Franz considers him one of the most learned individuals in the Empire. I feel if we're not going to get wizard lords for the Empire. Maybe having at least one legendary wizard character representing each one of the winds of magic available to the Empire could be a good compromise.

There's no way CA is gonna give the Empire their own Elector Counts; some of them need to be complete NPC factions so main factions can steamroll them to get strong. There's also the fact that CA would have to give them decent mechanics and gameplay. Yeah, its not gonna happen. At max, I could see a Middenland DLC, but that's it.

What about other reces and new ideas for race

Knights of morr are in the game already but sadly they are beyond awful.

Sisters of Sigmar: The Empire's warrior nuns.

Knights of Morr are already in the game.

Almost as many characters as Vampires can and should have :) But Ughh F Halfings

Bring the halflings!

No Termination Without Representation!!!

What about Luthor Huss?

the hobbits are more like funny tabletop LOTR references than serious unit design. if you really put them in the empire roster, they are either too weak to be used at all or too strong to break the immersion.

Spellcaster lords with possible Egrimm van Horstmann dlc? Since he is known for infiltrating college of light, so that would make sense. And I really wish I get to play as Egrimm :D

i yearn for M A R I E N B U R G

Knights of morr are already in the game.

I have a feeling the Empire will be left incomplete. CA has doubled down on Chaos factions with WH3 and it's a trend I think will continue. By the time we get to End Times DLC I'm sure a lot of resources will be tied up into 40K and SW and WH3 will get the short end of the stick.
