Hey all, haven't posted for a while, to busy reading WOW lore.
Anyway, when i saw the new podcast from Warhammer, i thought "Wow...these guys know what their talking about!"
and i wanna share my thought with you guys, mainly because i wanna hear what you think of the COMBAT SYSTEM!
First, they talked about actions, and used a chariot as a an example...actions are what make the chariot work. Lemme make it very simple - WITHOUT ACTIONS, THE PLAYER FALLS APART. However...not all chariots are the same right? They say we can make our characters lightning fast, mediocre, or slow and steady but powerful. I think they mean this would be a base class, e.g. you can be a warrior (slow) a healer (mediocre) or a uber fast but fragile character, a bright wizard (fast but fragile). They also mention upgrades, these appear to be that you become stronger as you level up-obvious.
Moving on from actions is tactics, i think of tactics as preperations, Career tactics make you better overall, these seem to be the spells you will be specified with. HOWEVER....Tome and renown tactics are for PVE and RVR (pvp). Tome is for PVE, maybe they mean like +healing for priests, as they will heal in PVE situations, but if they wanted to go to RVR (PVP) they would use alot of +DMG, or whatever is used in WAR. However, a twist in this turn, would be, you can use all of these, but only have specified amounts of slots for each. Tomes have 1 slot, renowns have 2 slots and careers have 4 slots.
Morale, this is like a Breaker from final fantasy, an adrenaline build up activates these breakers (adrenaline builds up through the length you are in combat). Their are 3 types, Career abilities, archetype abilities, racial abilities. Career abilities are for your class (WAR call classes careers just so you guys know), these are for your class, and your class only! then their are archetype abilities, these are in 4 different colums (TANK//MELEE//RANGED//HEALER) these will be for whatever you choose to be, and specifically for that archetype. You buy morale abilities, BUT! AND A BIG BUT! throughout your WAR life, you will never obtain all morale abilities, this creates diversity amongst everyone. Morale abilities are hard to explain, ill make it easy however.
Lets say a rank 1 morale ability costs 10 points, a rank 2 costs 20 points, a rank 3 costs 30 points and a rank 4 costs 40 points. As you fight you build up points, the higher your points the higher rank ability you can cast, and the higher the rank ability, the more powerful it is.
Thats all i have today everyone. I hope you found this helpful in some way.

Just a little edit, you can't have all the tactics, just a selection of most of them.
I think its somewhere along the lines of, there is about 30 career tactics overall and you can choose up to about 18. Then there are choices from Renown and Tome tactics as well which add to the 18. So you could well end up having something like 25-30.
