zilberfrid Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 1 hour ago, GenericEdgyName said: As to rumours, I had this thought a while ago. What if, during the events (most likely finale) of the broken realms, a realm literally gets broken? I mean, during some collosal battle or a magical ritual, one of the realms literally gets shattered into thousands of smaller realm-bits, travellable only by realmgates, or even isolated forever. I admit that this theory was more plausible back when some of the realms didn't have any mapped regions. The only realm without a map is Azyr, and while perhaps Gordrakks ram could maybe break it, it would perhaps be too big of an event. But still, if I remember correctly, the announcement article for BR literally said ,,Realms will be broken". What do you guys think? Is it a plausible idea and if so, which realm could it be? It would be fitting to have the books of the elves end in realms being broken. We'd then need to have a few books about dwarves to fix it again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skreech Verminking Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I’m starting to feel like that the campaignbooks are basically there to make the already good stuff, so broken, that only a hot fix with a new edition could repair it. maybe that’s the reason it is called the broken realms 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's literally what Chamon is like. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the only map we got of Chamon is the one of the Spiral Crux, which is one of Chamon's sub realms.

For example, we have been seeing more and more strong shooting factions enter the game for a while. Right now, that looks like GW wants to buff shooting. But it might be a lead up to changes to the core rules for shooting in 3rd edition, which could overall reduce ranged power again. Since GW is not going to revise battletomes in the shift to the next edition, they might have to design the rules in these books knowing that they will be out of balance now, but OK after the next edition drops. That seems like it could be a logical consequence of how GW updates faction and core rules, but it is still not great if it means we have to live through a periode of fairly bad balance for a while. I am still curious to see what will happen after the new Lumineth tome. If Lumineth only gain rules and don't lose any of their current option, I can't see how that update can possibly be balanced to be anything less than game breaking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So far there's only one certain thing of the new books which is that full unit discounts are going away. Which is honestly a nice move because when you get a discount for making full units you're encouraged to only use full units so you think in full units. Now full units are still the most durable and powerful, but without the full unit discount you're free to mix things up a bit. To take a 20 and 10 instead of 30 so that you've still got a hard hitting block, but you've also got 10 troops split off who can either support the 20 or can go to do their own thing. It opens up more options to allowing variety in list building without punishing the player in points. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes my breaking of realm theory less likely, still not impossible tho Given the literal name of "Broken Realms" I'm not counting it out either. Who knows what they'll come up with. But Chamon is still a bit of a puzzle that needs some fleshing out either way. When its all literal "sub-realms", meaning minirealms with their own magical borders, then how "firm" is the Spiral Crux's magical border, which is right in the middle of the realm, where magic is weakest? I don't remember the Core Book mentioning anything about how the sub realms actually work, besides being connected to each other by realm gates and "other ways". I think it would've worked better thematically, if Chamon's continents/shards/islands were basically floating in the air inside the bubble that is Chamon. It would fit especially due to it being the home of the KO. My only lore question then would be: how do shards like the Spiral Crux sustain their oceans if they all flow off the sides? Deepkin gates?

Just from a gameplay perspective, large units are already among the best value in the game, while also being kind of frustrating to play with/against. There is really no reason to further incentivize taking large units. Maybe with an exception for certain armies where being a horde is part of the intended aesthetic/playstyle. 2 minutes ago, Skreech Verminking said: Mate, I’ve been basically throwing out jokes through and through.

Good, in a game that already seems to reward full power units, through taking and controlling objectives, giving them a price discount was not only redundant it often made list building much less intuitive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
