Well I'm glad they finally have a release date, the most recent patch is still causing AI problems it seems.

You can't rely on CA to do right by mechanics and players without proverbially gaking on them 24/7 in order to discipline them. That era died with Medieval 2.

I think I heard one of the youtubers say that the review embargo for the DLC stuff ends in a few days, but…
The Great Book of Grudges youtube channel has reviews out for the FLC and non-DLC stuff that gets updated in this upcoming patch. Wulfrik looks like a ton of fun, as does the Masque.

Yeah a few youtubers have shown off some of the changes. I like what they did with Norsca overall. Especially the option of Wulfrik hopping over to Lustra. Having him there makes the Lustria Bowl even more fun.

"fun" It's the lustria bowl, its already peak fun. Especially for VC.
Other than that i am not partial to the new spoils army mechanic, seems like tedium for tediums sake.

I get wanting to expand the player base. Entering consoles makes sense but all I hear when they say that is they are probably going to dumb down the gameplay to fit on consoles.
Well at least they confirmed that this isn't the last DLC for WH3. Rumors before said the End Times was going to be the last one but there were suppose to be 2 more before it. We'll see if this all ends up being true.

See, this would've gone over better, if CA wouldn't have disapointed since well WHTW 3 and before. So it is inevitably a dumbing down due to console playerbase and Hardware issue.

Honestly with the insane rising costs of RAM (crucial just pulled out of the market) and graphics cards I can honestly see us going through a phase where consoles have a revitalising market because the idea of a high end pc gaming computer is going to become a niche with how high the prices are going.
That said console has me very worried. The turnbased overmap- totally 100% fine. Turn based does great on console
Live action RTS style combat - every single RTS game which has tried this has FAILED on console; and every single one that tried to build an interface for console and port it to PC has failed on PC too.
IF they mandated that you had to use a console mouse - we'd be fineish maybe (still no keyboard hotkeys); but honestly console controller requires a LOT of design compromises to make the game work with a slower, less responsive (for drag click controls) interface.
So this is really weird, but Total Warhammer 3 just suddenly appeared in my Steam library. But the "Date Added" just says that I added it 3 years ago but I didn't.
I'm just gonna leave it alone in case its some glitch. Plus my current laptop only has 6GB of RAM so I wouldn't be able to play it anyways.

Na. If you own either 1 or two you get it and mortal empires. About the only decent move CA made in ... when came shogun 2 out?

Yep they gave everyone access to Mortal Empires, which basically is Warhammer 3 but without the scripted campaigns.
You still have to buy Warhammer 3 if you want those factions included in it and the scripted campaigns and such; but you can at least get the core massive map with every single faction to-date to play against.
Played about 15 turns with Wulfrik before work today. Quite a bit to take in now, with his new options. I chose to just sack the first objective settlement and returned to Troll Fjord, so I could start building a secure base/economy in Norsca. Might get deeper into it tonight, or I might try out some of the new Legendary Lords.

Sadly, Norsca doesn't feel significantly different, but getting maxed with all 4 Gods is significantly easier than it was in the past (it was impossible).
Nurgle Lords on Mammoths are stronger now that they give your entire army +15% Missile Resistance and +15% Physical Resistance.
Shaman Lords don't give any significant army buffs, so they seem pointless to take over the spellcaster hero options.
Spoils feel pointless unless you're trying to snag a new unique item.
Monster Hunt's cooldown is way too long.
It's generally good, but it's not mindblowing, and the Norsca playstyle doesn't feel notably different.
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy

Though from the fluff description, it seems like something that will make the Iron Dragon's campaign easier, which is weird as I feel he's got the easiest campaign.

Given the stupidity of the AI and the power of player factions most campaigns are easy - you have to restrict yourself to make it a challenge
