That itself is really cool, but even better.they can also sometimes intercept enemies who are trying to use the underground passages nearby which creates a tunnel battle. You really need to rely on your quarrellers and thunderers to fight mounted ranged enemies, and even then they can do a lot of damage if you're not careful.ДЄlso, one more thing to add to the list of things I love about this game:Дwarves and Greenskins can use underground travel to get around mountains and zones of control. My main problem with dwarves in the field is almost always ranged troops. I ended up winning the fight mostly because the orc army was still a pretty weak one, but mostly because the main dwarven legendary lord is an amazing badass. Why were they at 1/3 strength? Apparently if you want to reclaim a razed town, it re-populates it by taking soldiers from your army.

Usually my little guys can handle orcs no problem, but in this case all my troops were at 1/3 strength. One of my best battles so far was my main dwarven throng defending against a large orc horde. Hopefully I'll get that sorted out and post some pics tonight or tomorrow. I took some great looking screenshots yesterday I was hoping to post, but I seemed to be having some sort of Steam issue which kept me from uploading them. Some units can advanced deploy outside your deployment zone! it's pretty much take the walls, and the capture point is not too far beyond that. No more spending an hour taking the walls and slowly working your way back to the city center. They significantly shrunk the size of siege maps which some people might consider a negative, but I think it makes sieges much more manageable. Granted I have an SSD, so YMMV, but load times seem light years better here than previous Total War games

they gain favor from raiding, fighting battles, etc and use that to upgrade and buy new units Chaos for instance doesn't even use money. Really makes for a nice change of pace when you get tired of one game. The different factions play very differently. Makes it much easier to see if you're going to be stuck on the crappy side of a battlefield and retreat if needed When deciding to fight, flee, etc from a battle, there's now a 'scout' button that displays what the battlefield will look like. Agents fighting on the battle field and being able to assign them magic items is fantastic balancing when to fight those and when to wage war makes for some tough decisions Tying some lord abilities to quests chains is a lot of fun. Lords and heroes level up more often giving a lot more incremental improvement than previous Total War games anywhere in your empire or with any currently encamped army, not just in the province with the buildings For a slightly higher upfront cost and construction time, you can build units globally, i.e. The interface to move around items and followers between characters is much better: just a drop down that shows everything available and who it's being used by Very polished, 99% bug free, beautiful in both graphics and design.Д«eyond how great it is in general to have a fantasy Total War game, I find myself really liking a lot of the tweaks they made to the UI, engine, and mechanics that really raise the bar. It seems to work as advertised, because it now takes all of 10s seconds to get to the main menu, instead of the 4-5 minutes pre-hotfix. There is a hotfix out already, which I just installed. CA says it was due to unexpected server load, which caused a problem with the multiplayer server lists as well as the startup lag.

I did say I was jumping to a conclusion, not that I knew what the problem actually was. Because if you're going to depend on Steam, why bother putting 3rd party DRM on it in the first place?

Since the evidence seems to be counter to this, I guess they did have it depend on Steam first. My opinion would be that unless you pull the plug on your nic card (or turn off your wireless) the DRM will happily do its thing irrespective of Steam.

So the fact that Steam thinks it's offline shouldn't affect whether the DRM thinks it's offline, I wouldn't think. That's interesting, because I would have thought the 3rd party DRM would be independent of Steam, meaning that it would do it's own check for an internet connection, not rely on Steam to tell it whether it's online or not. If the game has a buggy authentication method, then it could easily cause issues launching it. I dropped in a new network card and the games worked flawlessly. When I built my computer, the NIC was spotty - and some games with online elements simply freaked out when I'd try to run them - they'd never ever finish loading. Without doing any research (or even owning the game), I'd say that sounds like a good conclusion.
