You can get it pretty close by using the 'FPS Keyboard Setting' profile in keyboard settings on Med 2.
I use the Freecam mod to get it pretty close to modern TW cam settings, I just go in the notepad and set the rotate settings in the config file to 'true'

Less Elite overall than Space Marines/Eldar since you will be able to use various cultists, traitor guard, beastmen etc. Something between Orks/IG and SM/Eldar essentially
CSM Legionaries will be possible to upgrade with Marks of Chaos
Spreading Cults on planets will be a thing

It wouldn't surprise me if Norsca style NPC factions of Lost and the Damned only allowed to use low tier nonMarine CSM units would be a thing, just to fill planets with NPCs to kill

Actually I wonder how they exactly they will do factions, since it doesn't looks so obvious here anyway. See here it listing separate alliances of Imperium and Eldar

With Marines it's easy. You have a Chapter and that's it. But with other factions less so

Commissar Yarrick can be in charge of different IG armies, since he is a Commissar after all so not tied to a particular regiment. Commissariat is a different organization with no loyalty ties to IG regiments in order to keep all of them in check. You can field him alongside Krieg, Catachans, Scions etc. And IG army you play on tabletop even now can have units from different Regiments fighting alongside each other. Hell, it was like this even in DoW2 where Catachan Devils were a separate unit

Similarly Ork Waaaghs can have different clans within themselves

And then you have factions made out of many subfactions, both "Aeldari" and "Drukhari" being the most obvious examples. Exodites, Harelquins, Corsairs, Ynnari are more like allies to Craftworlders. And Deldar have 3 big subfactions too, Kabals, Wych Cults and Haemonculi Covens + mercenaries like Mandrakes. All of those actually are different factions conducting diplomacy with each other just grouped into less edgy and more edgy Space Elf codexes. And all of those have different colors
For an example
>You can play only Harlequins or only Wych Cults, with generic "Raider" ship changing depending on who rides it be it Kabalites, Wyches or Wracks
>Or play as an alliance of a Kabal of the Flayed Skull, Corsairs of Void Dragons, Cult of the Seventh Woe and Masque of the Frozen Stars fighting together in this battle
And Craftworlders in general are very colorful faction with each Aspect Warrior Shrine having different color schemes from a Craftworld and to top it off there being various different shrines of each Aspect, each with a different colors

And then you have factions like Imperial Agents or Imperial Knights which basically exists just to be allied with

I think there is a reason wh3 was experimenting so much with cross faction stuff.

Miao Ying is hot af.
Zhao Ming is funny and has the best lines.
Yuan Bo is optimal both gameplay and meta narrative wise.
Bhashiva is cool and fun and ironically has some of the coolest lore (if you ignore the "hunting down the Everchosen part and fucking dying every time part", I don't know what they were thinking with that part in particular).

Basically this.
>The mountains
That's ogre territory. There also wouldn't be such importance given to the alliance with Greasus which gives safe passage to the caravans if it was proper Cathay territory.
Having said that, it probably wouldn't be that insane to think Cathay would want them up to Pigbarter/Zharr Naggrund so they don't depend on Greasus and Zhao Ming's drinking benders anymore.

Well I have no idea what you have enabled. Maybe community bug fix mod got broken after 8.1. Anyway I suggest doing the old TES style, disable all mods and then keep enabling more and more of them until you find out what mod broke your tabs. It had to be done if you can't find it manually. Or you could try to redownload all mods by using WH3 mod manager from some dude.

Most likely they just applied a flat algorithm to set unit upkeep at a % of their gold value, which resulted in a few units having a decimal that got truncated because the slot for upkeep values only stores 3 digits. So they just went around and rounded some of the x.9s up.

We of /twg/ have already discussed this and reached consensus
Transport vehicles will be centred around the reinforcement system, they come in from the side of the map, deliver their squads, then give fire support for the rest of the battle

Kasrkin squad is 30 dudes, so don't worry.
Also, Sentinels are 3 machine squad walkers, so maybe chimera's too.
Maybe they also have a tech to split units in battle.

Because if it was realistic then the Imperial Guard and Ork players will have what would effectively be hundreds of APC's with weapons in every battle and would just rape eldar and Space marines.

I'm guessing 40k is a perfect setting for a unit caps galore. Maybe you have to capture planets to unlock more caps for units. I could see terminators or heavy armor being very rare.

>>573801398
Yeah and if you fuck off to other system, warp travel should complicate logistics or maybe fuck you over if you travel too far from the planets you captured. Especially beyond cadian rift. Or at the very least, forcing you to expand fleet and tank your upkeep.
>>
>>573800956
Marines are for sure the unit cap faction, maybe Eldar too but only for aspect warriors.
>>
>>573802417
Nah I can see the Imperial Guard and the Orks having caps too. You might be able to have unlimited infantry and sentinels as the IG but the tanks, artillery and special forces should be capped.

Unit caps are the only way to have fun. It encourages the use of less then optimal units.
>>
>>573802417
Hmm, yeah I guess so. I think it would be cool if there was some geneseed related recruitment mechanic, but whatever.
I'm guessing some factions like IG, Orks, Tyranids and etc. have more sense not having caps, but I could see resources being a big bottleneck for them. CA loves saying how important planets are for production and resources.

I wouldn't mind that, but I doubt CA would do it like this.
The way they talked about all the factions right now, makes me believe they won't play the same at all.

Here's what I think will happen.
>Marines are hard unit cap faction.

Depends on the edition, sometimes their meta comp is to play more mechanized and sometimes they abuse cheap and large infantry blobs

i still can't believe dawn of war 2 is widely considered a good game, can't speak for the multiplayer but the singleplayer was lierally just 4 max squads/units on the screen at once and you just crawl through the map slowly because there's annoying obstacles like giga enemies pre-set in cover, 0 proactive gameplay, its pretty much a MOBA but shitty, awful game for the singleplayer, tried to play it the other month after replaying all the dawn of war 1s in definitive ed but just got bored

is switching back to greco-roman paganism still the play

What's strange is that Christianity isn't that expensive relatively speaking. Yeah, corrupt church leaders, but that's not related to Christianity the religion itself.
Meanwhile, pagan sacrifices are so expensive they pop up in Bronze Age budget sheets.
>>
>>573829173
Building those cool cathedrals/churches with a lot of art was pretty expensive, no?
Sone have tons of artistic architecture with statues built in and are covered inside by art.
>>
>>573829531
A lot of that doesn't pop up until the Late Middle Ages/Renaissance, it makes no sense to have that as an explanation for church maintenance, and pagans also built expensive temples and had religious art.
>>
there's not a single cool-looking unit in all of attila
>>
>>573829531
that was centuries after the fall of Rome. Early Christianity's relative cheapness compared to religions that demanded regular animal sacrifice (ie. both Greco-Roman paganism and Judaism) was one of the reasons people were so eager to convert to it, especially as the economy started to destabilize. The same principle would run itself back during the Reformation 1000 years later

Honestly, polytheism is way more based than monotheism.
>>
>>573829531
>>573829173
It's the tithe. By comparison, the pagan temples require food because those are sacrifices.
Though there's probably also a factor of corruption, the whole point of Attila is that shit gets progressively more and more corrupted too, and for Rome that also includes the church getting increasingly more intrusive.
>>
>>573802923
Unit caps encourage variety, experimentation, and keep all units relevant throughout the game. It also allows elite units to stand out and retain their identity and impact on the battlefield rather than simply becoming the new standard.
I would even go so far as to say that a gold cost upkeep system is detrimental to the overall experience. It encourages optimizing for cost efficiency such as tier 1 infantry spam and winning with shear numbers rather than composing armies out of the units available to you. Why offer variety in units when the optimal strategy, and sometimes the necessary strategy, is just to have the most dudes. Eventually the campaign flips to where gold is plentiful enough that upkeep simply doesn't matter and the optimal strategy has shifted to fielding the most powerful units above all others. While there may be a brief satisfaction in that, the downsides outweigh the benefits.

Neither should Admech or Adeptus Custodes, and yet here we are.

Custodes I agree with
Ad Mech is viable as a faction, but only if you remove Knights as a stand alone faction and give them to Ad Mech.
>>
>>573834103
>>573834229
GW are pushing ad mech HARD in all the games, they're prob their new darling nigga talking about "shouldn't be a faction"
>>
>>573834229
I disagree that Admech is a viable faction. Not because I hate them, but because GW rewrote things so that what was always meant to be a support/background faction now has a standing military "because we need to sell more Imperial faction miniatures." Skitarii as a concept are stupid, and Legio Cybernetica are in direct violation of key concepts in the lore. If they're going to be on the tabletop, they should be in support of a main faction, not running around as their own independent army.

I think it makes enough sense.
They independent from the rest of humanity for a long time before the Treaty of Olympus, meaning that they must have had their own military to be able to defend themselves and advance their own interests before that point, and they would likely have been reluctant or entirely unwilling to disband those forces even after the treaty.

That's actually irrelevant, because the best case you could make is the Mississippian civilization and they were teetering on the brink of collapse when the Spanish arrived, collapsed, and then spat out pretty much every relevant Native American tribe we know of today.
>but we could play as the Sioux on the Great Plains
That's what I mean. They didn't exist as we know them until the Mississippian collapse. Without (spanish) horses, the whole Great Plains bison hunting model didn't exist. It was all new behavior caused by the influence of an outside force. There's nobody to play as west of the Mississippi other than bumfuck tribes doing absolutely nothing.
And I would say the Pacific shouldn't be included simply because you shouldn't have naval warfare in that region.

Because they're irrelevant pirates with no empire outside of one dumb city in the webway. They're the one faction that could be completely removed and change nothing.

there's most likely more dark eldar than eldar in 40k though, the "dumb city" is bigger than a planet

>>
>>573848914
That's not the point. They provide nothing to the setting. Nothing.
>I want eldar pirates
Regular Eldar can be pirates. In fact, the behavior of Eldar pirates and Dark Eldar pirates is often so indistinguishable that in-universe Imperial characters don't even know there are two completely different factions.
>I want evil Eldar
There are plenty of craftworlds that qualify.
>I want plot relevance
Okay, then the Dark Eldar absolutely do not qualify.

Dark Eldar are the only 40k elf faction that comes close to its fantasy counterpart in terms of cool factor and how compelling of a faction they are. I still prefer Dark Elves but that’s a matter of personal preference.
High Elves and Wood Elves meanwhile mog the fuck out of Craftworlders and Exodites so hard it’s laughable. IMO part of it is that the elven pantheon is still around in Fantasy and hasn’t gotten mostly vored by Slaanesh.

>>573868737
oh idk probably whatever leans best into what they do. Like you probably want better defensive stats for your generic lord, defense or more offensive shit for the slayer, etc.
>>
>>573868737
it entirely depends on what you are doing, hardy/disciplined, grimnir, grungi and cunning are all traits that are good most of the time.

Thrungi doesnt really do anything if you are not stacking rune smiths who also have that trait to spam the rune magic

Valaya is very useful when fighting chaos but isnt doing much if you dont go south to fight kairos

Strategist gives your runelord another skill that gives leadership and melee defense in an aoe but isnt that great if you have a mostly shooting army

for runelords specifically there are many traits that give some melee fighting stats but not enough as the previous listed ones and are not good options due to runelords being significantly weaker then dwarf lords and daemon slayers
