Recently bought this on Gog having not played it since its release.
At the time I thought it was ok but was surprised how much I enjoyed playing it after all these years. Graphics aren't bad, gameplay is fun and the single player is neat and it captures the Warhammer Fantasy feel well. Also doesn't take forever to install unlike TWW3.
Any other MOC fans around?

All I know is that this had a great trailer at the time. Maybe I'll try out in the weekend.

I liked it, played it on PC which couldn't run the final battle for empire and chaos without crashing but as most said it was pretty meh.The real shit is that they ported it to xbox 360 and you can never have enough strategy on a console.

I'm sorry dude. Hope you have fun with it.>Graphics aren't bad
Hell, it beat most TW games on unit variety alone. I think it's contemporary was Empire and compared to that this had semi randomized soldiers in the same squad and a shitload more faces or such than them.
Give a go with the whole XIII Century series and especially the last crusade themed one or King Arthur the roleplaying wargame if you still have the itch after you're done.

The Duel mechanic was both stupid and amazing all at the same time.

I used to visit my childhood friend a lot and this is one of the games we both have good memories about. This was our introduction to not only WFB but Warhammer as a whole. We loved it so much that he eventually gave me his copy years later. My personal experience playing was getting stuck and giving up, but recently I got the GoG version and decided to give it another go.
Now I don't know if its the framerate, or just the fact that no one bothered to make patches for it or because I'm playing it on Wind 10, but the units move weirdly in my experience. They don't like to hold formation for instance, I have to tard wrangle them to take up positions I wanted them to keep. Holding down right click also seems to be a bit broken for me. I took a little break from playing so I don't remember the exact details, but I know its a bit frustrating at times.
Another thing that suprised me was the difficulty, but mostly because my friend would always use cheats like a COWARD. Your units can be easily fucked over if you are not careful, but luckily the game throws enough gold at you to get recruits/replacements with plenty to be spared on upgrades. I also wanna say is that I really like how faithful it is to the og wargame, like the fact that you don't have individual soldiers in your regiments but "models"
Overall I agree with you. For the time, it didn't really look that much of a banger with the exception of the graphics and aesthetics (it came out in the same year as Rise of Legends, Empire at War, CoH1, Dark Crusade and Medieval 2 after all), but now I will gladly take three MoC over a dozen modern games.
Sure, it didn't have the scale of Total War, the complexity of other games, and the duel mechanic, while neat is just clicking a few abilities every once in a while, but it makes up for it with its excellent sound design, voice acting, visuals and gameplay thats simple but interesting enough for me to say that people should be talking about this game a bit more.

While the animations were lackluster, the combat and duelling system lacked weight, I still loved it and played my pirated copy at least a dozen times.

I remember being in middle school and a fan of Warhammer, I was absolutely DROOLING over this game, played the demo again and again.
Sadly the game was PEGI 18 or 16 and my mom was the only parent in the entire world to give a shit about that.
I bought it on Gog recently and played for like 1 hour before being bored and uninstalled and went back to hoi4.

pretty cool game, its more grimdark than tw warhammer 3 because some maps in that game look straight out of dota, specially if its the chinese maps, the campaign is its bread and butter but you can also have skirmish matches too

Really cool army painter where you can customize which bits of armor show up in your units
Better art direction than Total War Warhammer
Good atmosphere
RTS campaign with persisting units which was ok for a single playthrough
Medieval 2 units are super responsive compared to units here
In general everything feels janky
Overall game is mediocre, but that's enough for a single playthrough

I played the Empire campaign and it's ridiculous how powerful ranged units are. You already start with the best unit of the game, handgunners. They have infinite ammo, armor piercing shots and there's no friendly fire so they can shoot through your units with zero problems. All you have to do is set up a line of swordsmen in front of the gunners and let them shoot down everything. Then elves join you and their archers have 3x the range of gunners. Even on hard it was so easy. The last battle was just a gauntlet of everything ranged I could muster. No enemy even got close to the castle gates.Chaos campaign is harder as axethrowers are your only ranged units available and they have short range. Much more tactical maneuvering is needed. I like that units are slowly introduced to you but then the Skaven join and all their units are available from the get go, and the first battle with them is a siege. I stopped there as I want to experiment with all units before progressing.Anyway, I consider MOC a guilty pleasure. There are definitely better games out there but it's a fun game on it's own right.

this orc campaing is kicking my ass, but it seems to be the hardest one and was added with the expansion, i find it incredible that the orcs were not in the vanilla game

Does anyone feel like this game was intended to be around 15~20k gold at most in terms of army size? I mean you could make huge ass army of cheap infantry in skirmish with 30k, but the default system feels shit to move around at that size and it seems the AI also get confused and gets kited easily.Also skirmish in itself seems like an afterthought (especially with how reinforcement horns works), but I might need more plays to see a definitive answer.

For those of you who chose Khorne, keep in mind Bloodletters are your top tier elite infantry. They are immune to charge and have extra bonus on offense. Be sure to keep them alive.Upgrade their armour ASAP and then their attack. They each have 3HP, equal to a Chaos Knight, and hit for 2 damage per attack.However do not throw them in first. Instead, send in more expendable or regular infantry first to soak up fire, followed by the Bloodletters.Be careful of casting your sorcerers damage spells near them as it will kill them if caught in the area.

I really liked this game these 15 years ago and I really wish TWW was closer to this than the slop they've made it. Game captured the atmosphere of the world and general mechanics of tabletop way better (though TWW generally did well capturing bullshit OP characteristics of factions from what I remember), and having persistent armies you have to invest to over the course of campaign whenever you get to visit townships. Fond memories.
Expansion is fucking bullshit though.

Quick tip for Chaos fans: Once you have obtained the Spawn in your campaign, immediately sell them off to out more gold into replacing losses, more units or buying items.

Be sure not to throw Chaos Knights in alone. They cannot be healed by attaching your sorcerer and are expensive to replace.While expensive, there is almost no unit who can withstand an assault from Chaos Knights.
