Lazy Skaven design

[bezem]

No Under-Empire. No wonder CA played along with the 'no Skaven', they had nothing to show and they knew it. Such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lazy design choice.

What are you talking about, There is a under-empire mechanic, It lets their cities and any armies in the garrison be invisible so the other factions dont see them till they stumble on them searching for gold in the ruins. Also have you seen the models yet.....

They are stunning, not lazy.

Yeah skaven seem quite spot on, a hidden threat full of techno madness

Better than expected really. I'm hoping they release the ratling gun soon. I love that blighter.

But that's exactly what I meant. Instead of making an under-Empire with Skaven politics and feuds, they just made some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stance. Amazing, great job.

Yeah, sure, let's add another map layer that only 3 factions out of over a dozen can use and that would mostly be a boring system of tunnels, that sounds like a great use of budget.

That and the existing Under-Empire mechanic Is great for catching fool-things off guard and adds a level of danger when delveing ruins for gold.

A seperate map would be pretty complex, and only 1 race would be able to take advantage of it, theoreticly you may spend most if not all the campaign under the tunnels and that would be boreing. Id just inagine, if they made a seperate under-map, it would really only be Skaven under there, Only Skaven and two races really not in the game playable, Orks and Dwarves use the tunnels like that. They wouldnt be able to tunnel under Uthuan, and the areas under the ocean would be big turn wasteing deadzones.


There realliy isn't much I have to complain about,

I love the Ratling too, maybe they can add that later in a DLC, to be honest in the lore they are hard to manifacture and they cant make enough to satisfy demands, but If they do add them they would easily devistate the things, heheh.

How do you think this would be balanced in a game?
It couldnt be decent balanced.
Imagine you attacking something on the map, all of a sudden their is a full stack army out of nowhere (the under-empire) attacking a city of you.
You go after it, and than on the other side of the map, the same thing happend.

You would get whiny post on the forum like: 'OMFG SKAVEN Is OP, i cant win from them in Singleplayer'

Yeah, let's waste time and money on a feature that 90% of the other factions won't use just to gain the respect of some random loser on the internet who will just find something new to complain about tomorrow.

In the actual Warhammer universe the Skaven hardly meddle with above ground affairs. So what I wished to see was that you would first have to fix the Under-Empire and only during the lategame venture above ground, with the exception of some raids for warpstone maybe. Skaven aren't supposed to be an ever present faction anyway.

What's wrong with adding a compaign just for the Skaven?
Is it because anime watching virgins like you just want to see their technorats fight elves?
