Let's see if they are just here for the money or if they are actally going to fix this game in 5.0. The dlc could be the best in the world but if the game itself is scuffed what's the point

I concur. This update appears to be a return to form.

'Summon the Elector Counts' sounds pretty useful. As long as you have a lord somewhere (Either through confederation or sending him there) you can respec Karl Franz, replace the lord with him after a few turns and instantly get an entire invasion force to conquer that part of the world.

I'm so happy, the empire just felt like such a dated faction, glad they've finally come around to upgrading it to that Warhammer 3 standard.

I think it is much better then the old system!!

being able to summon 12 freaking armies is the funniest shit. what a great update.

If you look at the Real World its lots of Countries some of which couldn't defend themselves against any of their neighbours, and others who could easily expand but Diplomacy stops it happening. This changes seems to be a step closer to the Real World, having an "Empire" that only really units to counter external threats and doesn't really want to be a single thing. Looks interesting, looks like something I'll probably not enjoy but want to try it at least once.

Short, detailed, and useful. Thank you so much!

this is a great video, very informative!

Karl Franz is Henry Cavill now lol

Great video Mercy tyvm for all the info!

But will the empire get wrecked by turn 15-20? Just played a casual game on normal and saw that the vampires destroy the east. Festus conquers Hochland and starts battering it’s neighbors. Drycha destroys Ostermark and Ostland. The beastmen and goblins destroy Middenland. Norsca destroy Nordland. It gets hectic pretty quick.

If the player is playing Empire then the Empire will probably do well, not so much if AI controlled I'm guessing, but the AI may do better now with the update

To be fair, I think the real problem is the difficulty. I always have the feeling that on hard difficulty, the AI ​​starts playing very strangely. For example, player bias is nonsense. In the example you gave, I saw Middenland on Easy difficulty declaring war on me because I trespass as Karl, had a negative event, and the diplomatic penalty. He even tried to attack me. The curious thing is that he was in his last minor settlement and at war with five other people. Maybe not exactly the same, but in a similar context, in very hard setting, Toddy, hating me, although not by much, asks me for help. My points are: The easier difficulties are harder because they are much more random and there is a lot of RNG for at least 5 electors in the first 20 turns. (not more difficult either... chaotic I suppose, after all in those difficulties your auto-resolve is crazy)

@@joseluiscobianpampin184 I tend to play on normal with end game crises’s off. I like to see how the ai will fair without the spawning of several doom stacks. But every time I pan over to the empire out of curiosity they are always either destroyed or semi dead. They’re units are too weak and the ai doesn’t really b-line for rockets. Obviously human players can navigate and strategize better but it’s always a bummer to see the ai empire perform badly in every single play through when I’m not Franz.

Man, can't wait

The only thing I woukd add is make it so that you can recruit elector count state troops if you're allied with them or their fealty is high enough as opposed to HAVING to annex them outright. That's honestly my only feedback though. This is magnificent.

@MercytheMad

Ай бұрын

100% agree. I already gave that feedback and they said they would look into changing it in a future update if they get time. In the meantime I explained the work around exploit in the video -still works, so you can get them without annexxing them but it's not really supported, you have to exploit a game flaw to get it.

CA should make it so that you get the unique state-troops if you have a military alliance with that region, not just must have a lord as elector-count...

One thing I don't get though. If I can summon the elector counts after conquering/confederating all of the empire, there won't be any electors to summon. Or does it apply to your own faction's electors as well? What am I missing?

@MercytheMad

I assume it is whichever generals you assign as the Electors in the interface (but yeah, they aren't the REAL electors)

You will have to buy the DLC AND start a new campaign to recruit Elspeth. The new skills and stuff I think will update in your ongoing campaign but it might be glitchy. Best to finish up and start a new one after the DLC

Great fixes with diplomacy, buildings, but the game didn't need to get easier. Empire was one of the last factions I enjoyed playing because I might lose with early endgame turned on. I don't see that happening. Time for a new game for me. Thanks for the video.

Ever since WH3 came out this became a game that I just play every now and then. There are so many good games out there, and WH3 gets 10x better if you're not burnt out and are just enjoying it casually. Ironically, WH2 feels worse to play now.
