Create your own Legendary Lord

ChaosDragonBorn · October 2016

I'm laughing while I write this, because I know this will either not be in or very simplistic. That's all I need for Warhammer "create your own legend". Make it simple.
All creations should be relative to their own race and faction of course.

-Different shades of skin color
-Several choices of Hair, Hats, and Horns
-hair color
-Beard or no beard
-Weapon and Armor
-Male or female
You know what I mean? It does not have to be Skyrim, but it should be nice and easy and simple. Anyone else agree?

So much want. Army color customizers too please.

ChaosDragonBorn · October 2016

Mistake post.

Combat_Wombat · October 2016

You missed the "color" between army and customizer. Just colors. Like instead of always playing as blue dwarves or red empire they could be green or purple or whatever else tickles your fancy.

This would be absolutely awesome

Rifugio · October 2016

Customization of Legendary Lords is a bit of a difficult one - as they were introduced into the game as "immortal" Lords taken straight from the Warhammer lore complete with their own custom quest chains. Adding the ability to create your own is not necessarily a bad thing - but I can imagine they would seem rather bland in comparison without their custom skills trees and quest chains and unique CA models. They need to be pretty special as you are stuck with them for the entire campaign.

I do think sometimes it would be good if the Legendary lords were not necessarily immortal and there is a chance of losing one (if you have more than one Legendary Lord as part of your faction) so the other becomes the prominent Lord - but I have no idea how that would actually play out.

It would however be nice to see more customization of available ordinary Lords or at least a greater variety of portraits and models representing them.

I'd rather have army units which reflect the correct colours for the regions/factions they were recruited from.
I know there are people out there who the idea of a unit painter means a lot but for me it makes about as much sense as a unit painter for Napoleon Total War. Or a unit painter for the Third Age Total War Mod that allowed you to paint your Gondor units Gold with Red banners.

Of course I'm not against it if it's marketable, but it just doesn't appear on my list as something that will really make the game that much better. Mark of Chaos had a unit painter and frankly I'd far rather play units coloured by CA artists than what I managed to come up with - I just don't remember the end results looking so great.

@Rifugio All good points.

Absolutely! CA please let me switch weapons and armor for Legendary Lords to make them look different. Espesially before they get their own unique items. For real this time.

This would be an awsome option alongside an army customizer tool and avatar conquest.

I sugested this many time, they had the perfect gameplay with Shogun II and this game would have benefit so much from it , I hope they will implement at least for medieval III !

This would make warhammer 10/10

Combat_Wombat · October 2016

You mean 9/10. We still have these god awful sieges.

So you played a siege and thought it was "god awful"? Lol

Well in any case, I think they are going to make more fun sieges for the next races and factions. Including naval invasions/port battles and stuff.

Uh_Oh · October 2016

The army/unit customization side of things could easily follow a Dawn of War setup I would have thought, so we choose our banner and main/secondary colours.

ChaosDragonBorn · October 2016

Look at what we could do with it:

Silfer · October 2016

Warlords battlecry 4 had a nice Hero system

bisbeedog · October 2016

Probably not legendary lords, but would be amazing for normal lords and heroes

Well it would make good advertising. "Make your own Legend". It would be our own Legendary lords without the quests.
If CA took the time to write in a couple quests and make CA created armor and weapons, then that would work out, I think. To make it easier, they should write in a simple quest, where the player could get a whole set of items, so they don't have to write a story for each of the items they make.

*drools*

Yes! This is something I've asked for previously and it so needs to happen. Having your own lords is a huge part of warhammer anf these characters would add a ton of flavour! Plus, giving a gender option to all factions would be greatly appreciated even of only for your custom LL.

Combat_Wombat · November 2016

I wanna make a purple Kholek... with a big axe instead of a hammer.

Sagif · December 2016

I want to create.my own faction leader!!

Tayvar · December 2016

Total War: Warhammer is not an RPG, and having too much RPG choices would be silly, just as some of the lore-unfriendly classes in Warhammer Online. Also it's an waste of CA time.

Of course Tayvar, of course. It wouldn't hurt anybody to have this feature

Tayvar · December 2016

@ChaosDragonBorn yes an demigod nobody character with rabbit hat who would beat Grimgor Ironhide in one on one wouldn't hurt anyone's game immersion.

So you would create a character that beats Grimgor in which, ruins your own immersion?

Tayvar · December 2016

@ChaosDragonBorn well you never said that you want it "only" in singleplayer.

Oh, well multiplayer can have too. In the form of "Avater Conquest" type thing. (Shogun 2)

But yeah, I was mainly talking about for singleplayer as a fun option.

Tayvar · December 2016

@ChaosDragonBorn at least the Avater from Shogun 2 had some sensible limitations.

Are you implying that this request is too much ?

Yes, both in term of work and in terms that it would do more harm than good to this game.

You know what's best for the game so who I'm I to question?
