It's more focussed on custom battles and mp. Sandbox mode is nice, though I'd wish we were able to control the enemy army rather than simply turning the AI off.

[Oderisson]

Dont know why they are so focused on balance changes...

Like 2/3 of patch is about them. How many people play multi? 100? 150?

balancing is not important for single, so I dont understand this obsession.

Last DLC introduced faction that has Hellstorm that saturates battlefield with black holes...

3 fully upgraded are enough to defeat any army before it gets close...

The FFA and Domination against AI is nice. Maybe not a requested item, but it doesn't hurt anything. And maybe there will be some AI benefit that comes out of it.

It would be a step closer to hot seat as well.

I approve.

I mean they just gave pharaoh 60 maps and that got like 200 players mostly.

You can put on your tinfol hats and start thinking this means that they are testing these things to eventually bring them into campaign. I mean, AI playing new modes and the possible ground work for a 3-way battles could mean something big in the future?

Everyone in the industry wants to have an esport. I don't know if they think it'll make them rich or if it's a prestige thing but they all want it. It was the whole point of Hyenas afterall.

I think the pvp scene makes pretty great viewing. Definitely part of my weekly routine and I've never understood the distaste for balance changes in pve games. I prefer when games make those sorts of changes for pve.

[Zé Bonitinho]

not a single change to the AI or late game. Another spectacular failure by CA.

[pistalpug]

Just curious , so this patch is mostly working on multiplayer?

I might be wrong, but does even more then 10% of the player base even play this.

Kinda a waste of manpower and money

The whining comes from MP, and unfortunately, they're the one they hear the most (as in a single player game, you don't whine that much often...)

I don't.
In Warhammer, it's a huge non sense (lorewise) to have balance factions.
They're not balance at all. Greatsword aren't suppose to be equal to Executionners (etc).
Strong/Weak points are what gives factions more appeal / "flavor" (I love extremes).

(but you're not necessarily wrong, it's your opinion)

[halogamb]

Looks solid

[IonizedMercury]

I think people who still think MP is just a tiny minority need to wake the heck up. CA would not spend that much effort on it if it was.

[No, not this one, please.]

Grats to Turin and his five friends on the update.

Balance is just as important in SP.
