Is Norsca worth it?

[Legostyle03]

Are they trash like beastmen or warriors of chaos? Should i wait for a rework?

Norsca are globalists and want the entire world to follow the Chaos agenda. Don't bother.

wtf does that have to do with anything?

imo they are fun, but can be tough to play. Out of the chaos factions, they are the most worthwhile for the price just because they're more fleshed out than the other two. Beastmen are way overpriced in comparison as they have a lot less to them when you dismiss their mini-campaign (that no one is going to play anyway).

He's making fun of the other guys thread about globalist agendas and yes I did laugh.

But yeah Norsca is quite fun. I really love their monster hunts and ability to get good weapons/armor etc. Also helps that Throgg is quite powerful(don't think I've ever touched wulfrik).

Norsca was the last DLC for warhammer 1, and the most detailed. It is closer to being as fleshed out as the warhammer 2 race packs, but not quite up to their level.

Norsca is the only Game 1 DLC faction that still stands up to date with the game 3 factions.

Beastmen are woefully outranked by the constant power creep.

they were the race with the best and most numerous mechanics in wh1 but they have yet to be revamped.
Their biggest problem is balance rather than mechanics, as they terribly suffer from some of the changes from wh1 to wh2. They don't have walls to protect their turf so the fact that there is now potential enemies coming from the west and from the south west make them wayu more vulnerable, and at higher difficulties they suffer heavily from the increase of %upkeep malus per army compared to wh1 at the same difficulties.

They're not trash in any way or form, but they can be extremely hard/frustrating if you play at higher difficulties.

beastmen and chaos are among the strongest factions ppl are just ♥♥♥♥ at playing them. norsca is closer to traditional factions so if you cat play horde you may do better with them

If your sole criteria for having fun is winning then just play on easy difficulty, you'll be strong and win every time

strong =/= fun to play

Beastmen are far more fun to play than the current Wood Elves and their clunky Amber system.

I won't argue with you there, Wood Elves get boring faster, actually for me they get boring once they quickly snowball into unstoppable monsters. Goes back to my point though, Wood Elves definitely get stronger faster than Beastmen do--that doesn't make them more fun to play.

Beastmen are in my top 3 but it could be because I use SFO. Pretty sure I didn't like them before mods...hard to tell, that feels ages ago. Not a fan of any of their Lords though and apparently they're never going to get a dlc, or at least that's what it feels like.

They likely will, since they have one of the most incomplete rosters and a lot of missing LLs.

I want Taurox in the game so bad...

Hah.

Norsca is a strong faction as far as roster but personally I find their mechanics really anti-fun. Namely their economy sucks and their ability to settle is crippled. They can only settle in snowy regions as far as I've seen, despite other factions being able to settle anywhere, just with penalties. Instead you can raze settlements to put up icons to their gods to gain favor which... power up your troops but don't help your broken economy.

They're supposed to be raiders but they don't get an economy to support raiding while also doing anything productive. You almost have to play like a Horde and just save up tons of resources to just sustain your debt, hopefully snowballing and just taking city after city without stopping.

I actually would rather play Chaos or Beastmen when I want that playstyle. With Norsca it keeps trapping me in the idea that I am playing a normal faction when I'm not. They also have the same problem that Chaos and Beastmen have, which is that because you can't capture settlements, your enemies can just roll in and take them as free real estate. And because you need those icons to your gods, you suffer for it since you lose favor for every icon knocked down.
