Well, the idea behind the thread is that it will list the possible Rogue Armies, and Be'lakor's plots involving the Dark Shadows Campaign suit the idea of a potential rogue army. I admit that its more likely he'll one day appear as an Undivided Lord, but I think the potential is there for a Rogue Army. Total War: Warhammer 2 is taking everything further. You might witness an Orc general leading a warband of Beastmen, or an army made up entirely of Trolls or Squigs. The Old World races will be present, then, in rogue armies and even territory – the Vampire Counts have a nice little vacation spot on the coast.

Being a part of the oldest wargaming community on the net.If you are already a member then feel free to. With the launch of the Curse of the Vampire Coast campaign pack comes a new update for Total War: WARHAMMER II. This will be applied automatically to the game when you log into Steam.The Aye-Aye! Patch introduces some significant changes for the traditional Vampire Counts factions in Mortal Empires, the chief of which is the new Bloodlines mechanic. It also grants Heinrich Kemmler a faction of his own, a new campaign start-position, and extra bonuses.New Free- LC content is also available in the shape of Legendary Lord Lokhir Fellheart, the Krakenlord. A Dark Elf of noble birth, he is a terror of the sea-lanes and rightly feared for fielding many dread Black Arks. Fellheart can be downloaded from his own Steam Page, here:The Aye Aye!
I needed a good excuse to start another VC playthrough and this seems like the perfect time to do so.Ya, that area of the map is going to be crazy.As I was reading the notes and saw that Kemmler would get a mount, I immediately thought of the weird spider made of bone or some such that Kemmler rode briefly before his demise in End Times: Nagash. Hopes were promptly dashed when I got to the '(Barded Nightmare)' part.Although I will miss marching out of Sylvania in every direction with all the legendary lords, after biding my time and building up my economy and forces.This message was edited 2 times. Last update was at 2018/10/17 15:53:26. The Dark Elf sea-scourge leads his own faction, The Blessed Dread, will be playable in Mortal Empires and Eye of the Vortex campaigns (in which he follows the Vortex storyline). He begins play with ownership of the island of Chupayotl, just south of the Star Tower in Lustria.The Krakenlord does not need to perform Rites in order to raise Black Arks. He can recruit one for each major port settlement he captures, ultimately amassing a fleet of them with which to terrorise the Lustrian coastline and beyond.

In addition, he gains a 50% income boost from Slave Pens and Slave Markets, and his armies enjoy a 50% upkeep cost-reduction for any Black Ark Corsairs they recruit.In place of the usual Dark Elf Black Ark rite, he can perform a sacrifice to Anath Raema, granting Black Ark Corsairs the Cause Fear and Stalk traits plus bonus AP missile damage, and conferring bonus armour for Kharibdysses.More slaves, more arks, cost reduction and buffs for corsairs, and a slight buff for Kharbidyss.This message was edited 2 times.

The next joint DLC is supposed to be Skaven & Lizardmen, so it's a matter of holding out until whenever that drops.I personally wouldn't mind Wood Elves getting something more at some point. Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face.

The next joint DLC is supposed to be Skaven & Lizardmen, so it's a matter of holding out until whenever that drops.Next year sometime, which is why having a FLC lord to bring it up to 4/3/3/3 would have been preferred to being stuck at 4/4/3/2.I suspect the campaign pack for Lizards and Skaven will probably revolve around Itza, Sotek and maybe Kroak, but they could have easily stuck someone in the Southlands on the western coast below Araby and above Queek (as Lustria is getting rather packed at this point, especially in ME). They have confirmed on the stream that next old-world factions to get some love will be Greenskins and the Empire.If they give the Empire two starting points so I can play it with my friend then that would be awesome.
Bretonia-Empire campaing is fun too. But sometimes you just want a double empire campaing.Lizardmen need two more LL.
One will be probably the Propeth of Sothek in the pack vs the Skaven, and the other one should be from a FLC, just like has happened with skaven, high elves and now Dark Elves. They started with the Dwarves. Between them and the Vamps, it seems like they started with the factions that needed it the least, though moving a lord to a new (more appropriate) location is good.The vamp changes are pretty minimal to existing lords and units. The big thing is getting additional immortal Lords fairly easily and huge buffs to research and casualty replenishment (through the Van Carstein and Necrach bloodlines, the latter also gives an upkeep discount with enough investment).Watching the lore and coverage videos was pretty interesting.But despite saying they (and GW) didn't want a third dreadfleet lord to make it a 'dreadfleet DLC' instead of a 'Vampire Coast DLC,' it totally feels like exactly that.
The sum total of the Vampire Coast is Luthor himself; the spells call on Dreadfleet things, Noctilus and Saltspite are Dreadfleet things, and the campaign emphasis is apparently tooling around in ships and the starting locations are. Sartosa, south of Ulthuan, north of Ulthuan, and VC only for Luthor.One other thing they mentioned in passing is the Ancient Merwyrm will be wandering about in the Vortex campaign, apparently bothering everybody. I'm curious to see how it's handled, since killing it is the focus of the pirate campaign. So, the Everchosen Invitation is going on this weekend, apparently mostly as an excuse to show off (and finish testing) Vampire Coast stuff. As a bonus surprise, Lokhir Fellheart showed up in a match.The VC is doing fairly well (Luthor on his terrorgheist is pretty effective for his debuffs and his pistol), but Noctilus and the opera singer have real problems on their mounts- she loses ethereal when on her abomination, and on the necrofex, he is just such a ridiculously big target- he dies very fast to cannons and guns.Lokhir didn't last too long in his match, but looked fairly interesting and has most of his toys.
The color scheme for his forces is a fairly nice blue. He can get a dragon mount, has regen, gets a duellist ability and has access to a debuff ability that they compared to one of the Van Carsteins (didn't actually see it in the match).They also had a black ark map for Lokhir's battle. It was a new map. The Ark itself is mostly background, the battlefield itself was a fairly featureless grey slope with a few (three) blocky squares disrupting line of sight and movement. Looked uninspired to me. There was another new map earlier, bit chaos themed with several streams running through it that looked a lot more interesting.-The matches are on a break and they're currently showing off the starting positions.
Cylostra is in Grey Rock Point, that spit of land below morathi and above Mazdamundi.Noctilus is off in the ocean in a new location.Saltspite. I'm not sure if she actually starts in Sartosa, the screens they're showing off have her in SE Ulthuan.Their discussion of using the ships as bases (hordes or black arks?) is somewhat confusing.hmm. Vampire Coast additional lords are saddled with loyalty, which has been reworked a bit.Infamy is a resource, and apparently they can get 'legendary' additional lords through the tech tree (like tomb kings) if I understood them right, which includes 'names you might recognize'-Ah. Random lizard adjustments:a few stat adjustments (particularly cold one cav)'Cold blood' ability on characters doesn't heal anymore, it ends rampages. (So if a feral carnosaur starts rampaging in the wrong direction, you can stop it).This message was edited 3 times. Last update was at 2018/10/21 16:09:20.
That seems to be the case. I'm watching the Live team's Lokhir playthrough, and they've got full stack pirate armies romaming around even in the early game (turn 11), and a few more in the turn order bar.Its particularly bad for Lokhir, as the army can turn around and wreck his black ark at will. Though after declaring war on the players, what they actually do is wander off. Apparently they don't attack cities in general, just fleets.
But this one also ignored a vulnerable black ark.The video is here:But fair warning, its a complete mess. 45 minutes of dead air, and they fail to sort out their technical problems for a good fifteen minutes after that, and things go very poorly in general. Not exactly a good way to show off the new FLC lord.This message was edited 1 time. Last update was at 2018/10/30 00:31:23.

Getting to #1 takes 20,000, and the player-available factions seem to start which is where the actual player is.Killing enemies in battle, razing, assassinating and pirate coves all raise infamy.Post battle options:Assimilate captives: (bolster the strength of tyour army by introducing your captives to the dark arts): Unit ReplenishmentShare the Loot: (Share the spoils with your Lord, improving their loyalty). Infamy -50, Arm gains the following effects (3 turns) Loyalty +1, Unit experience gain per turn +50 (lords army). Doesn't matter too much for the main character, but will for additional lordsRansom captives (Earn some extra loot by ransoming your captives for cold hard loot Treasury: extra goldMissed opportunity in using 'loot' instead of 'booty' there, I feelAlso featured (in the Harkon video): Ship improvement (functions like a black ark/Horde), and the research tree. Which is rather big with few dependencies.There are four areas, which each require a starting tech Command, Firepower, Salvage and Legendary Admirals. After that you can apparently research in any order.There are 16 techs under command, 12 each under firepower and salvage and 4 under legendary admirals. The latter are the only ones that have a cost, which is 1000 infamy each.The intro tech to the admirals also makes you immune to reef and storm attrition.-Also rites, of course:Curse of the Bountiful Treasure (free, 15 turn cooldown).
Gain 500 gold per building from 'Buried Treasure' chain. Look at our profits, now look at our sales, now look back at our profits. Sadly, sales numbers aren't in line with our profits, but it could be, now that we've introduced FINECAST(tm), slashed staff and raised prices. Look at my hand, its our annual report. Look again, the report is now DIAMONDS. Anything is possible when you invest with GW.

Noctilus' initial enemies are Caledor High Elves, who have a small fleet outside his starting area for an initial battle.Which is fine. But they don't have any ports, so it doesn't make much sense that either side cares about each other.Would have gone with one of the Araby Bretonnian Knight factions, personally.The Vampirates vs. High Elves vibe is really strong with everyone but Luthor, and it feels weird, especially since it can VERY quickly result in southern Ulthuan ravaged by vampiric corruption in the early game.On the other hand, it looks like a united Ulthuan by gobbling up the small starter factions is a lot more difficult.-And Vampire Coast do get Raise Dead, which I actually hadn't seen or heard about until now.This message was edited 2 times. Last update was at 2018/11/05 21:29:44. Curse of the Vampire Coast is live today.Probably going to do a Kemmler campaign first, to be honest. Always loved that character and his 'sidekick' Krell. Or a Crooked Moon campaign, just to see how Kemmlers presence north of Skarsniks starting locale will impact his playthrough.
Will probably roll over the dwarf faction that is immediately north now that Blackstone Pass is the province capital. I also want to check out the changes to Vampire Counts.Once I give them a go, I'll give the Vampire Coast factions a good old college try.
'Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen?
Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

C urse of the Vampire Coast is another surprisingly good DLC for, bringing the undead pirate lords of the eponymous coast to (un)life(?) via new units, buildings, objectives, and oh-so-many mechanics. The Total Warhammer team is knocking the franchise out of the park, with each DLC offering an experience unlike any other that has come before.The expansion adds four legendary lords, ranging from the schizophrenic Luthor Harkon in Lustria to the mutant Aranessa Saltspite in Sartosa. As is the standard, each shares common faction traits while enjoying unique bonuses and starting units — Captain Noctilius of the Dreadfleet is really good at raising sailor zombies, while Harkon has one hell of a grudge with Lizardmen, for example — which combined with their different starting locations create unique experiences on each playthrough.The game does take a few more liberties with lore than usual, including non-character Saltspite that barely appeared on the lore outside of and undoing Noctilius’ demise at the heart of the Galleon’s Graveyard.
Saltspite also gets to recruit vampires — something that never happened in her one appearance to date — but is also the only one of the four pirate lords able to recruit living crew, in the shape of the Sartosa Free Company.The campaign itself follows the same moulds as the rest of Warhammer II, with the Vortex at its centre and a mad dash for McGuffins. The plot is set in motion by the awakening of the great and ancient sea leviathan Amanar, who lays under the High Elven island of Ulthuan. With the great beast roaming the seas, all four legendary pirates see an opportunity: kill the beast and reanimate it under their necromantic thrall.Thus is set the map for the campaign, which takes place in the Eye of the Vortex scenario.
