Bombers were always worth using. Now they're fun and worth using.
Hammerers finally don't suck.
A good day for the Dawi.
Honestly this patch was good for all the OWR, even the Vampire Counts who took a whiff of nerfing on some of their newest stuff (which is still hella powerful).
Request scorched body textures, poisoned dying animations for infantry's skeletons, a blood slider that allows us to control how much blood appears in battle and make proper death animations for all ethereal units so they vanish for Blood for the Blood God 3.
You can play the beta, and the game will carry on when the beta goes live. They don't plan on anything that will be save breaking between beta and release.
Although if you do join the beta, you will need a new game for that. Pre-beta saves won't fully benefit.

Bombers get 33% more models, 2 more base ammo, so with tech it end in 6 number. 2 squad in early game now is okay, especially in siege. And handcanon zombi 160 models with 40 AP dmg so summary it 6k dmg in 10 sec. WW had 2k dmg in 10 sec and it highest ranged dmg squad
Not even remotely close to viable. Bombers r a $400 that performs as $150. Hand cannon a $550 performing as a $175 prior to current update.
These buffs r in no frikking way near making them viable. Bombers at most will perform as $225 ish costing $400. While hand cannons would be around $350 i suppose.
No way under any circumstances will u ever bring bombers and hand cannons over rifle and pistol mobs both of which r far, far, just so frikking far more superior.
All those dmg output r totally theory crafting it. Waywatchers r highly accurate 190m, hand cannons r frikking garbage that misses 85%+ shots at 90m. Only thing u see them actually killing something r within those 50m range, which ull only get to fire once. Ure literally paying $600 for that single shot.
Seriously, may as well spam deck gunners who wipe enemies at 245m costing only $100 more lol
I am dissapointed with new Empire and Dwarf red skill trees. They were perfect. Empire had one skill for infantry, one for knights horse cavalry, one for arty and one for top tier beasts like demigryphs and tanks. And what now?! I do not see any logic. Dwarfs had good stamina skill, one skill for most of the infantry, one for arty and one for choppers. And now there is no logic aswell. Vampire Counts got the best red skill tree now in my taste. Greens are good aswell.
So... that stamina loss reduction is now a 1 point skill available right off the bat if memory serves, instead of a three point skill that you had to unlock first. A lot of skills were consolidated and even reduced in cost. I don't think any were actually removed (except for a few lord specific bugs)?
Its the inability to focus on a type of unit. Greatswords mixed with Demigryphs is especially annoying. For some LL's like Volkmar it also removed an ability (his cooldown reduction).
For me the name was weird as well. "Honest Steel" for the Empire's base infantry makes sense - the connotation is that these are the no-frills, reliable Empire infantrymen who fight and die for Karl Franz. Having the lower tier being the "elite" and Demigryphs and greatswords being "Honest Steel" is just backwards.

Has me jazzed for Greenskins and Empire revamps!
What did change for Hammerers in this beta? I don't see anything in the notes, surely you don't mean the +2 or so hp buff in the last patch

Helm of discord should probably remain at a 40 meter range, but has its MA and MD effects nerfed to +16 or +20 or something like that: one of the problems right now is that is completely exploitable in air battles, and in that scenario the change to its range is pretty much ineffective. Or directly, making it only usable in the ground.
Horn of the Wild Hunt is simply too weak, and its pretty difficult to use to maximum effect. If the +speed bonus is taken, using it becomes even more difficult. The extra duration is nice, but it being a CB buff, is not really much of an improvement. I would add a flat +CB bonus in addition to the current +36%. That would allow using the horn to full effects with more builds (as it would affect infantry more) or a small MA buff.
I like most of those changes but one thing from that is missing.
All old world LL who didint get unique skills in last patch of game 1 should get them in this rework.
I dont understand why Volkmar dont get unique skill, but other two LL do. This applies to all old world characters.
Last thing what I think should be added is rework of most heroes of Old world. Most of them are useless, because they dont buff units like Gore bull is for example.

I certainly hope they plan to implement save breaking stuff considering all the unique skills that some LL lost in the remake! We can't have LL's losing unique skills like Isabella von Carstein losing her unique buffs to Bats, Vargulfs and Vargheists or Throgg that lost his unique buffs to Trolls.

Throgg just became King of fimir not trolls, and it better.

They have also broken the diplomacy menu with this beta. Right now you cannot assign targets to your allies, mostly because when selecting the faction you are dealing with, the map won’t move from its capital location.
As for me this patch is rather strange - for example elite dwarven infantry gets 24% damage bonus and 15 physical resistance. Much more than orks. As you remember before only orks had 12% bonus for all units at the begining of skill tree. And now ALL have 12% to damage and 8 to attaсk. So dwarven elite infantry will be absolutly unstoppable (except Arhaon chosen of course with their full bonuses) ....
Trogg has no separate bonus for trolls, but has for wyrms and fimirs...is he fimir or troll)....goblin leaders now for some reason have bonuses for orks and additional bonuses for goblins....ork leaders have only standard bonuses - the same as goblin leaders have and many more strange things. This patch should be strongly reworked.

It not. Goblin lord was a very rare pick as lord. Now he much stronger than ork lord. Throgg became a fimir king.
