My first campaign since the update was Archaon. Daemonic Emergence triggered twice, one time in my Khornate vassal's territory and one time next to my capital, spawning a hostile Khorne and Slaanesh army respectively. The Slaanesh army was actually pretty high tech with several Keepers of Secrets and other high tier units. Was able to hold it off because as WoC I build garrison buildings on all Dark Fortresses and Archaon can recruit LLs + armies instantly, but otherwise that would've been rough.

When I read about the feature, I was worried it was gonna be "enemy armies randomly spawning in your territory" but I was hoping that CA would surely put some safeguards in there so that corruption

I'm sure you've seen this come up, the AI loves to take advantage of this:

Let's say Archaon is attacking Karl Franz. Karl Franz is garrisoning Altdorf and he has another army led by Boris right next to Altdorf to reinforce. Archaon has Kholek as his own reinforcements, so if the two were to attack Altdorf it would be Archaon + Kholek vs Karl Franz + Boris + Altdorf garrison.

But right now, this can be circumvented. A besieged settlement and any armies garrisoned within it can't reinforce, but a besieging army can. So if Archaon besieges Altdorf (without attacking) and then Kholek attacks Boris, the battle is suddenly Archaon + Kholek vs Boris alone. So the attackers have an easy way of sp

I like signature cards a lot. I like collecting them. The issue is that quite a lot of them are pretty mediocre or worse (gameplay-wise), and even the ones that are good are not always in decks I enjoy playing. Hearthstone has a lot of random card generation, these days many cards are designed specifically with the idea of only seeing play through being randomly generated.

So the way I'd like it to work is that, if you own the signature version of a randomly generated card, the generated card should be its signature regardless of the rarity of the card that generated it.

Right now, signature cards will generate other signatures, and that's cool. But for example, I just got signature Nythen

Sieges suck. Removing ass ladders didn't fix them. Fixing the gate bug and absurd unit pathing would make them more bearable, but it still wouldn't make them fun. Why are they so bad? My explanation is this:

Sieges are awful because CA does not consider them when designing factions. The game is designed exclusively around field battles and sieges are not even an afterthought.

Let me elaborate:

#1: Siege Equipment

Total Warhammer's biggest strength is its faction variety. 20+ races that all play completely differently, both on the campaign map and on the battlefield, with over 100 LLs that each have their own mechanics to differentiate them even more.

Except for siege battles, where

Temporal Archimedea this week has Stage Defense as the second mission with the modifier that all enemies are replaced with Techrot in addition to the exploding mites. When I saw these modifiers, I immediately thought "Uh-oh, this is not gonna go well.", not because I thought it would be more difficult than usual, but because I figured it wouldn't work properly. And lo and behold, during the very first wave an enemy spawned underground and got stuck there, completely out of reach of my squad.

Stage Defense is by far the buggiest mission type in ETA and EDA. I have had to abandon several runs because an enemy spawned out of bounds and prevented us from completing the wave. Please, DE, if y

Title. I already strongly disliked the Nidus cysts, but at least you can remove those immediately and each frame will only get them once, then never again.

I don't wanna look at them. They make my skin crawl in a genuinely uncomfortable way and they're in a position that pops out at you every time you open the menu. It makes me wanna not engage with the Technocyte Coda system at all.

Please give me an option to hide or disable them, or at least let me remove them with the Helminth right away. Call me too squeamish if you want but I don't wanna feel this discomfort looking at my warframes.

Disclaimer: This might be upsetting for some people to read. It includes descriptions of how Jews were treated in concentration camps and at times crass language to make a point.

In his content nuke (at around 54 minutes), Ethan uses a clip of Hasan where the latter compares a Yemeni boy (call him a Houthi pirate if you want) he interviewed on stream to Anne Frank, arguably the most famous victim of the Holocaust. Ethan then quotes Anne saying "I keep my ideals because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart."

He goes on to argue that Anne Frank still inspires people because she "refused to give in to hate, malice and violence" despite facing a genocid

Playing Clan Skryre right now and I have to vent about how aggravating it is to use Ratling Guns against Dwarfs.

I order my Ratling Guns or Warpfire Throwers to attack an enemy unit only to watch these moronic rodents gleefully run into melee range because a miniscule elevation in the terrain causes them to lose line of sight, because the target enemies are 3 feet tall. Does CA think I play the game in first person? Do i really need to zoom in to make sure my rats can actually see these short, tiny, pocket-sized, small little freaks?

I dunno about you guys but when I see that an enemy is within the range indicator and there isn't a clearly visible cliff or a wall in between my unit and th

tl;dr: I think P2 Tychus (Lone Wolf) is designed for solo play and makes the game less fun for your ally.

I don't think it's a hot take to say that P2 Tychus is completely overpowered, arguably the most powerful prestige in the game but definitely in the Top 3. But that's not the biggest issue I have with it, there are other commanders and prestiges that are at comparable power levels like Mengsk, Zeratul, P2 Stetmann, even the other Tychus prestiges aren't that much worse than Lone Wolf.

The problem I have with P2 Tychus is how it directly incentivizes the Tychus player to do the mission entirely by themselves and thus stops their ally from having fun. Sure, every commander can spawn ca

The clip that will literally already get me to cry is Towa performing Error live and tearing up

What clips get you to tears 10/10 times? Happy tears are allowed as well, and anything else too, really.

Edit: A few that have been brought up a lot:

Which instrument of the Traveler's theme at the campfire during the ending hits you the hardest?

Polls are apparently limited to 6 options so if you're a fan of whatever exact instrument Gabbro is playing (seems like noone can ever agree what it is), please comment.

For me it's definitely Solanum's piano, it just sounds so beautiful and oddly melancholic.
