I’m gonna show you how I see the “Age of Reckoning” (AoR).

Age of Reckoning :

1/ Delete the free army at max AoR. Dwarfs are not Khorne or the GS.

2/ Delete the grudge settlers. Why dwarfs can instant recruit elite units ? What are those units exactly ? Why are they far better than normal units ? It makes no sense for me.

3/ Delete the timer on AoR. This mechanic is not an election like the French or US elections. It is really strange to launch an AoR every X turns ! You launch an Age, it is done once the objectives are done, or done if you abandon it.

AoR should always be in effect.

4/ with that in mind, we keep the 5 AoR levels, each with new characteristics like Elgi = penalties to PO, relation with other dwarfs, and to trade with other dwarfs (-5 PO, -20 to relation, -30% from trade for instance, in Legendary). 

Every dwarf faction begins at the Elgi level. Because the AoR just begun.

Now, how do you reach another level ?

Easy.

AoR should depends on the Great Book of Grudges (GboG).

Great Book of Grudges :

The goal of the AoR is simple : clear the GboG from every grudges it has.

1/ GboG is now a shared mechanic between every dwarf faction.

2/ The GboG should have way more grudges. 40/50 I think. Some should be quite “easy” (like take back Karak Dum), while other should be to destroy an entire faction, or even an entire race ?

3/ The victory conditions for the dwarfs should be to clear the grudges. For a short victory, just clean 10 maybe. For the longest, clear the entire book.

4/ each grudge from the GboG should give a good reward. Runic weapon, special unit or hero, banner, etc. as well as money.

With your fellow dawi, just go and clean the book. It is the duty of every living dawi. 

However, that is not all. Every dawi faction gets his own book of grudges.

The “factions” Book of Grudges (BoG) :

This is where you can get your “less important” grudges, with the new system of grudges depending on the army and settlement. Btw, the Grudges allowed should grow far more. Just beeing a GS or a skaven faction should be like 100 grudges by army/settlement and not 0. Owning a Dawi karak should get 100 more grudges/turn for instance. 

The thing is that, instead of going in the AoR bar from the actual system, those grudges are now stocked. The currency can then be used for multiple things :

• Confederation

• 4/5 different pages, each with little gimmicks :

  • For Grungni (economy)

  • For Valaya (growth)

  • For Grimnir (slayers)

  • For Thungni (runes)

  • For Morgrim (engineers)

  
  

What do you think ? are you happy with the actual state of the AoR ? 

Of course there's still work to do.

The Great Book of Grudges...remains full.

To me Dawi, to me ! 

CA, do not shame your ancestors ! You can do better than that ;) 

The "updates" between each DLC could be a perfect moment to clear this Grudge. 

And add a few more items to craft in the forge too please. 

Also, where are the Dawi items from the Chaos Dwarfs RoC campaign ? I remember you wanted to add them, somehow, to the Dawi (I might be wrong tho) ?

CA, you can do better for the Grudges. I've try several campaigns after the patch, and, even as a veteran player of TW and a dwarf follower since WH1 in Legendary ... achieving highest grudges levels seems impossible.
You earn so few grudges from defeating foes. My last campaign as Thorek, turn 30, I've been blitzing my way taking everything from Karak Zorn to Karaz-A-Karak, and even above ... slaying Queek multiple times, on my way with Skarsnik, destroying multiple GS and skaven factions ... yet I get only the middle level grudges.

Dwarf fans can be quiet for a bit. You just got a big update; other races need far more. 

Big update ?  Maybe. Is it good ? I would say something in between. Some good points while some are a step back.

So, no, manling, I won't stay quiet. The book remains full.
