What’s everyone’s thoughts on their mechanics ?

[DarkFenix]

Concerning, I see only half a rework there.

Franz got the Elector Counts system reworked and expanded. Gelt got the brand new Colleges of Magic system. Thorgrim gets the very appropriate Great Book of Grudges rework and expansion. Ungrim gets... sweet ♥♥♥♥ all as far as I can tell.

I hope it's just the content creator missing it out, but it looks like Ungrim has been completely forgotten about, which isn't good because he's probably the worst Dwarf LL; good at fighting in battle, but completely boring and worthless from a campaign perspective.

No offense to the youtubers, but I'll wait until CA releases their official blog post before I form any opinions on the Dwarf DLC.

Given that it's a slayer-themed DLC lord I'd think that Ungrimm would get at least a little love, especially considering the work that's been done retooling the Empire. But only time will tell.

Don't ALL the dawi get the grudge rework? It seems silly that Mr. Angry McRedhair would not use the new improved grudge system.

Fairly certain that is for all dwarf factions, not Thorgrim specifically.

He might. I hope not for two reasons; firstly it would just be incredibly lazy to pull the "all this faction's lords get copy-pasta mechanics" thing again - especially after showing such a great effort with the rest of the rework and with the DLC being distinctly slayer-centric for the Dawi, and secondly it wouldn't make much lore sense because Thorgim is literally the keeper of the Great Book of Grudges (such is the role of the High King).

The embargo for race changes dropped, not the dwarf dlc content embargo. The content in the video is for the changes they can show that apply to the dwarfs overall and not the content of Malakai's campaign mechanics or in depth units. Another CC did a video for the thunderbarge, right now they can show battles against the units but not playing as them.

Just to be clear the GBOG video is the free race update coming with the 5.0 patch, this isn't part of the dlc.

Be patient, w8 CA official news before making conclusion

[Amphibian Artillery]

The dwarf rework includes the grudge system rework for all dwarf factions, an updated tech tree, updated skill trees for lords and heroes, and underway teleport between karaks for all dwarf factions. I believe there are also faction effect reworks as well but I don’t know if it was for all of them. Anything else CA will let us know

The book of grudges has always been a dwarf race mechanic in all 3 games, rather then a faction mechanic. Like the empires authority that is shared between all the empire factions even after the rework (they just need to take a territory in the empire to trigger it). Or Nurgles plagues.

From a lore perspective, while Thorgim has the great book of grudges, every dwarf hold (and likely every clan in that hold) have their own lesser book of grudges.

Now there is not to say that there might not be differences, for example even in the book of grudges mechanic we have now different factions have different grudges and rewards, but they all have a book of grudges mechanic.

I hope you're being paid for that, because I can't imagine why else anyone would go into a massive salty tantrum over someone holding a corporation to standards.

That is not the DLC, its the rework that everyone get for free.
