Will Part 1 also get the Settlement Slots update?

Arcani_4_Ever#4489 · June 2017

So for Part 2, Capitals will have 8 slots and Minor Settlements will have 6 slots.

Now, the most important question.

Will this also be updated for Part 1? To the Old World Campaign?

I feel it should, modders have been able to mod Capital slots. So CA can finish their job and update the game to allow the modding of minor settlements.

I am certain the Combined Campaign will be updated to have the 8 slots.

But i hope CA doesnt forget Part 1 and also updates that.

Also the Wood Elves will probably need 12 or 14 slots now. Since their unique settlement gimmick will no longer feel that unique once all races can have 8 slots. Maybe even give them 16 slots.

I think it will only be applied to campaigns playable in Warhammer 2. So the Vortex and combined campaigns, similar to how dragon breath attacks will be added for old world units but only in the combined campaign, like mentioned in another thread.

doclumbago#6250 · June 2017

I would like it.
But then you would have to get some more buildings to choose from.
Otherwise you just build everything in every region in game 1

Icestrugle · June 2017

In the combined map old factions will get new building options together with the 6/8 slots.

MrMecH · June 2017

Combined campaign only guys. I doubt that we will not have any update for standalone Game1 anymore after the last race pack existed (Not sure about balancing).

EvaJobse · June 2017

Just a correction as I see this pop up everywhere lately.

Minor settlements remain at 4 slots.

Small province capitals (Those you currently see in Norsca) go from 4 to 6 slots.
Regular province capitals get an increase from 6 to 8 slots (1/2/3/5/7 secondary slots).
Special province capitals (Altdorf etc) go from 6 to 10 slots (2/4/6/8/9 secondary slots).
Athel Loren locations go from 10 to 12 slots (3/5/7/9/11 secondary slots)

This is for game 2 only and there will be new buildings, legendary and otherwise.

Thank you for clarifying.

mcar110 · June 2017

I think CA have said that other new features will be added to Game 1- can't remember exactly what else is going to appear as an update in game 1 but I know Dragon Breath attacks is one thing

Commissar_G said:

Thank you for clarifying. And the Mega Campaign will use the Game 2 system I assume?

Yes, both the Vortex Campaign and the Mega Campaign in Total War: Warhammer 2 get this new slot system and most factions in the Mega Campaign see some new buildings appear.

Lord_Nathanael#8065 · June 2017

ugh, don't know if I like that minor settlements stay at 4 (3) slots.
that means it will be better to have 3 small 2 region provinces than 2 big provinces with 3-4 regions.

luckily the big ones tend to have the special capitals like altdorf, middenheim, karak a karaz

bretonnia will enjoy their buff for sure

Freudian slip. Norsca confirmed.

Thanks for the clarification.

It's always good to see CA participate invthe forums rather than just reddit/facebook/twitter.

Hopefully the slot increase will let the ai build more diverse armies...

boyfights · June 2017

CA I hope you're adding more hordes to balance out all these extra buildings that I don't want to deal with

Agree. Horde should have something special than a stack that carry settlement everywhere.

Nyaxxy · June 2017

I'm excited for this change. It's starting to develop into more of a hybrid between classic and modern total war settlements. I'd have also liked if you were able to have some minor settlements (which in the lore are larger than the other minor settlements in the region) have 4 usable building slots. Kind of reminicent of how some regions in rome 2 had 4 slots and some had 3. Not only does it give the owner of the settlement more building options, there would be a campaign map strategic value to securing these regions as they have more slots, which I am sure we will see when some capitals get 10 slots while others get 8. I do hope Marienburg gets some more love.

Also a question regarding:

EvaJobse said:

Special province capitals (Altdorf etc)

What denotes a "Special" capital? Is it only those which the faction leader of playable races starts in? Or would this be more to do with the cities importance in the lore? Nuln, Middenheim, Marienberg, Kislev and Erengrad all spring to mind as "important" settlements but I am not sure what category they would fall under in your classification.

Are there any others that fit the criteria currently, or that are easy to point out?

I'm guessing .. playable faction = special capital

Actually, no.

Why are 3 small 2 region provinces better?

In case of corruption as well as growth and public order, you only need 2-3 slots for the entire province and its easy to maintain.

Also, a larger "area" will receive the bonus of unique buildings . Altdorf for example is perfect for mounted units and you can get ALL mounted units except Knights of the Rising Sun there with the lowere recruitment cost and additional levels.

You can get Demigryphs, Reiksguard but also Pistoliers and Outriders there with that buff...

I'd guess it was those that give special/unique buildings to various factions like Altdorf, Marienburg, Karak 8 Peaks, Erengrad etc.

Talmorean#3084 · June 2017

It'd be nice for minor settlement ports to get 5 slots like in Rome 2. Because your forced to take a port anyway. Just a thought.

Ah! This makes more sense and something I have wished for since Rome 2, so nice to finally see it happening. Now capitols can actually feel somewhat grand and certain provinces do feel more important than others while smaller provinces still have enough slots to remain useful.

Should also make alot more epic fights vs capitols since most likely with the extra slots almost all will have defenses built.

aaah the achievement upgrades .. that makes sense

Stephince#6150 · June 2017

My anticipation for the grand campaign continues to increase on reading details such as these. Even playing the Empire or Dwarfs is going to be like playing a whole new game.

daelin4#9896 · June 2017

i personally dislike how it's not applicable to minor settlements, it sort of exacerbates current situation where those who hold capitals have a huge advantage over factions that don't, plus the inherent limitations of 4 slots (in reality three, and sometimes really only two slots due to port), and for settlements that don't have walls as a start, for that matter.

Would be great if minor settlement slots can be increased via mods however, current mods don't seem to be able to do that.

What about the wood elves outposts? Still 2 slots only?

caribu91#1223 · June 2017

Where did you all get the information that slots are increased? Is there any link where I can find this source? Sounds pretty amazing
