Empire DLC ideas for warhammer 3

[Dovah]

I always wondered what DLCs should the empire have been given since the crappy war wagon stuff . What are some of the stuff that players would want to be added to the imperial rooster in game 3 . My list goes as
1) Dismounted knights ( reiksguard ) they are lore friendly and can serve as something better than the state troops to hold the line against blessed temple
2) The Star Dragon mount for Karl Franz ( Lore friendly just make it squishy in combat with the breath attack being the main attraction )
3) Master Engineer
4) more knightly orders
What do you think is missing and should be added to the empire in game 3

Just to let you know, Franz' Imperial Dragon is almost certainly not a Star Dragon but rather a Sun Dragon going off its descriptions in the lore. As for what units would be added you've already hit the main points, dismounted reiksguard (aka Imperial Foot), knightly orders and Master Engineers are a good starting point. You also could do Hochland Long Rifles, Galloper Guns (potentially), Wizard Lords are a must, possibly the Marienburg Landship if they wanted something silly, and some other extrapolated Nuln War Machines.

Halfling militia and halfling scouts, recruitable from Moot. Maybe halfling legendary lord starting in Moot?

I don't think the Moot will be included in game 3's standard map.

That said, they could likely eventually (when they start running out of the more serious stuff or want to take a break from it) make some sort of silly/fun DLC with a halfling "lord" (with a large escort of halfling & human troops, because politics) that went up to Kislev to explore any local food they might have or something like that (heck, perhaps it could even be a halfling elector count, they have managed to gain a seat before).

Alternatively some halfling content could be added as FLC for the next version of mortal empires.

Boris will be next Empire FLC.

Problem was with implementation.

Before empire rework there was little point in adding him. Everyone played the same.

During empire rework he couldnt be shipped to vortex, because it wouldnt have made sense. Thats wht hyntmarshal came first.

After empire rework there were other reworks and priorities.

last FLC were dwarfs, because it was one of only 2 races missing from base WH1 (other are vamps). I believe Vampire Counts FLC is coming in december. Probably Neferata.

We have 2 reworks left WoC and norsca. Both most likely reserved for game 3.

After, or during that, boris will come. probably as a special FLC for owners of all 3 games.

The only thing gutting this, is that CA has said that the Silence&fury was the last DLC.
Also have said that the pre-order faction wont be playable in game 2 (to avoid what happened with norsca).
And before you come with "well its an FLC" remember that it is called that because it is an "Free-DLC". And since game 3 has gotten delayed, they wont throw in an FLC for game 2. It would certainly rub a lot of people the wrong way yknow (even if the FLC is good).

But the other points about Boris and the reworks. Yeah, can get behind them.

Flc means low effort faction. Maybe an extra unit or two.

There is a MASSIVE difference between FLC lord and amount of work needed for game 3.

People forget that a new game is new map, new battle maps (around 30), new factions (we know about 9 + preorder) etc.

Frankly I think that FLC lord is amount of work comparable to one of those trailers that CA is angering everybody every 2 weeks.

Also they cannot have that amount of content draught. Silence and fury was july. Game 3 will probably be late march/early april. Thats 9 months of no content...

Thats not happening. The idea was that after Silence we will get game 3 in december. 5 month waiting period. 9 months is too long.

I'd like a rework of the Empire roster. Greatswords, Swordsmen, Free Militia, Flagellants, War Wagons and Empire Knights are just horrible limiting the Empire roster. Especially with the introduction of the symbols on units to show if they are bronze silver or gold tier most Empire units are gonna be bronze and only useful for maybe 50 turns.

All I want is more Sigmar.

greatswords can be good but it requires a lot of buffing once a gold recruit rank greatswords with buffs held the line against blessed temple guards and few saurus units .

It would have been better if they included all those things in the actual release of TW:WH instead of making half the game and then charging £15-£50 per patch. Still that seems to be the way things are done now. If people want to give the developers three times as much money for half as much game then who am I to argue

[Jack Greedy]

It would be cool if we get Grudgebringers with Morgan Bernhardt as commander plus some friendly troops from Dark Omen.

So empire has still quite a bit more to be released.

LLs yet to come to table top. Toddbringer may get full LL status which would be nice. Kurt Helborg, Marius Lietdorf the mad. The lady death wizard in charge of Nuln. Luther Huss, Valtan.
I hope they bring out Ludwig Schwarzhelm as a L hero. Of course Valtan may end up a hero.
In either case I kinda expect 3 more for the empire. So Toddy, Kurt helborg and maybe Marius.

For Lords.
Mage lords or master engineers but I expect engineers to be more of a hero before a lord. Chapter masters of a knightly order focused on combat and leaving generals to leadership roles.

Heroes. Engineers are kinda of the main one. Long guns, with pigeon bombs and mechanical horses.

Mounts. Imperial dragon, but only the one. Given to a lord or hero. Might just end up as an ROR rather than a mount.

A lot of the melee units could be variants like foot riekguard or rilfemen. I expect Middenland white wolves knights with hammers, Celestial Hurricanum, knights of the inner circle which isn't that important due to many of the knightly orders being in the game already, the Marinburg landship which is a huge steam tank and as awesome as it sounds. Plus there is halfling units which may make it into the game. I think there is enough to make 2 full DLCs with however if 1 or more came along the way of FLC empire wouldn't be that far from power. BUT there is at least 1 more DLC for empire.

My guess is that will bring out Kurt, with Ludwig as a hero. Wizard lord, Engineer hero. The Celestial Hurricanum, the land ship with some more filler units. I expect the Middenhiem stuff to come together if Toddy becomes a full LL. And halfling stuff to be a fun FLC.
