Dwarfs - Can't use multiple of the same ancillary runes in one army?

Morbo513#4197

In TWH2, you used to be able to use multiple of the same rune in the same army - eg. 3 artillery each with Rune of Burning. That seems to no longer be the case in 3. Is there a mod out there, or file edit I could do myself to revert this to its TWH2 behaviour?

I dont remember it being ever possible as they are treated as banners and you cant use the same banner multiple times too
But you can use multiple of the same character rune in one army bc they are trinkets

Sure it was possible in WH2

It was definitely possible in TWW2 to have the same banner two or more times. I enjoyed in multiples the AP banners as well as the Strollaz Runes which gave Vanguard deployment to the unit that has it equipped.

But with TWW3 that was changed. No banners can be used twice.

It was possible in WH2; did it every time with Rune of Burning in Thorgrim's army. Good boost to damage, and it gave better anti-infantry to Cannons and Organ Guns.

Yup, I mentioned this in a thread I made about banner stacking. It's a move done by CA to address the crazy levels of stat stacking, which was a problem only for people complaining about balance in SP and MP campaigns, and I hated the decision right from the get-go.

It's not AS bad for dwarfs as I originally thought, but it still sucks big old donkey nuts all the same. No banner /rune stacking is only taking away options and choice from people, which was a decision made by a vocal minority and compounded by CA's opinion that stat stacking was out of control in games 1 and 2.

I love The Spiffing Brit and all, but I can't help but feel his video's that pointed out the crazy stat stacking only **** off developers at CA to make such a move, which you could say that him claiming that "it's a perfectly balanced game" in highly sarcastic tones at every opportunity only **** them off to the point that they decided to address it.

I hate the decision, and I want banner/rune stacking to come back. I don't give three flying ducks about balance in campaigns, balance in campaigns is like player agency in TT DnD, an illusion.
