"Tanky, disgusting, inevitable."

Get a closer look (but not too close ?) at Thrones of Decay's glorious Maggot Lord in our Tamurkhan gameplay showcase!

I don't like the reduced wound recovery times. There are plenty of other LLs who abuse quick recovery times to turn the ganme into a whack-a-mole simulator - Karl Franz in ME was a classic example of this. IMO it should be a serious set back if your faction leader is eliminated. A recovery time of a minimum of 15-20 turns would be ideal...

However the game is now bloated with OP LHs and LLs... so, I guess it is largely irrelevant now.

Sounds like you should focus on eliminating the faction then.

I'm really not a fan of the constant power creep that comes with every DLC. It really dampens the hype for new content as the only thing you can do to avoid it is "dur just don't use it". And even stuff like reducing wound recovery making losing a LL in battle irrelevant.

On a positive note, unlike SoC, the units in this DLC actually looks good even if I have misgivings over Nurgle Chaos Lord's weapon choice. This is a $25 DLC that looks closer to it's price unlike the previous.

The concillation I take from this is CA do seem to like nerfing new units / LL post release.

Ostanka got nerfed, Askina got nerfed, even the Changeling got slightly nerfed. But agreed the power creep these days is mad.

Yeah, power creep SUCKs

LOVE IT TAMURKHAN GONN BE SO MUCH FUN!

They do balance units yes but they almost never look at the campaign specific powercreep which is the biggest issue.

Don't know if you can answer this but will the Ogre Kingdoms get access to Plague Ogres? Afterall Chaos Ogres and their variants are accepted in Ogre society.

Mentioned elsewhere, but I like that the sieges look like they might actually be a bit more like sieges in 5.0 and not "lay siege for 2 turns of attrition and then AR it". The chieftain mechanic seems interesting (Though will say them being heroes in regular armies makes their position as "chieftains" feel a bit off, but is still cool). The plagues look way better and appear to still offer some customization without being the same couple symptoms like before. All in all looks great, and I love that Tamurkhan has a foot option and isn't force onto a mount.

Looks amazing. Please please please don't be as powercreeped as WoC and BM.

I love it. I really like that devs are telling us about the changes and their thoughts that’s top marketing here. 

ToD so far is looking very nice! Hoping all the other reveals are just as good!

It would be nice if announcement for TOD appear on the Blog page of the web site and not only be buried into the News section of the forum...

In addition, I am not very fan of abstract art... I know that clean refined design is currently fashionable (e.g. tile design from W8, etc) but I prefer figuratif design. I just spend the last few hours to figure how the new pink unit card for Nurgle Sorcerer should reflet any sorcerer. At the end I suppose that the two mountains draws refect the hulking mutant slaves and that the round draw figures the sorcerer it-self... Am I right CA?  And it even look like we will have a RoR Nurgle Sorcerer topped by a charriot... On the other side, I like quite well the "Prometeus humanoid alien" unit card which appear 4 times in the Tamurkhan traits.

That said it was a nice Gameplay Showcase...

Is anyone else raising an eyebrow that a Chaos Dwarf is marked by one of the main four? Aren't Chorfs exclusively for Hashut? If not then can there be marked Chorfs in the future?

Those unit cards are WIP placeholders. The showcase video would have been recorded quite some time ago.

Lol, and how do you propose to stop me?

If attrition doesn't start instantly, you actually get a chance to use the siege equipment you build.
