However, a high Grudge rating may be bad for everything else, as your chance of getting Slayers in your regiment of renown pool increases - a lot. Also the grudge system has been re-worked and is a lot more in balance, enabling you to actually have a chance of just surviving, instead of having to spend all of your time righting all the wrongs of the world instead of playing the campaign. It has given the rune system new life, and makes for a much more diverse Dwarf playstyle, that is surprisingly adaptable. This sends your troops, if you have enough Oathgold, in to a very overpowered state - however, you can't forge unlimited numbers of runes for regiments, artillery or characters, so be careful who benefits. What about explosive missiles from your bolt thrower, or a canon with the snipe ability - no problem. Looking to make a stalking hero with vanguard deployment? Sure. This enables extremely specialised setups and armies, and also lets you choose and make exactly the items you want.

But more importantly, your characters and troops alike can now equip runes as well, runes forged by Oathgold. Alongside this are upgraded unit cards for the two last DLC's.ĭwarf runes are now spells, with no resource, but just cooldowns, that can be reduced with upgrades by your Runesmiths.

This essentially re-works the entire way Dwarf Runes work, and Beastmen finally have received a massive overhaul, and the auto-result has been greatly improved, and actually tells you what happens. There are actually a lot of smaller updates to other factions such as tech tree tweaks, how rechargeable passive buffs and magic cooldowns are displayed and even a new vampire hero, but most notably, there is a massive Hammers & Herdstones update.
