Yes we are aware of the new DLC! If you haven't had a chance to look, check it out here:

Obviously very proud to see some nice parallels between both of the mods ( All Tabletop Lords , Regiments of Renown! ) and the upcoming DLC. Both in the lore, themes, as well as the thinking and design. Things like the RoR Slayers getting a "Hamstring like effect", the Norgrimling Ironbreakers, Deff Creepers, or the Runelord are all truly amazing to see reflected in the actual game.

First and foremost for me this says that it's a great mod, we don't see this as them "copying" us, everything we are making is based on Warhammer Fantasy using tools from Creative Assembly, we're just following the same well-executed design thinking when it comes to the lore and conversion to Total War, and we've clearly got a winning formula :)

This is not the first time we've managed this sort of addition to the game, it is the same as what happened with the Arch Lector and Strigoi Ghoul King for All Tabletop Lords when the Grim & the Grave was released, so just like before we are excited!

I see it as a great honour and very validating as a modder. I'm really proud of the work we are doing, and our ability to try and match the teams thinking as best we can, to provide CA/GW quality content worthy of using as a mod.

Of course, ultimately making content this accurate and lore-friendly, means this stuff is bound to happen, and while YES it is more work for us to ensure that we aren't conflicting with this DLC content, we believe that's worth it, because that's not the goal, the goal is to ENHANCE the developers content. So just like last patch, we will figure out how to tweak what we've got to make sure there are no duplicates, as well as to strengthen this roster even further given time.

Rest assured since we've already been through this, we know how to handle it don't worry, and if you were ever in doubt that when we make units, we do them RIGHT, look no further ;)

Thank everyone for your passion and interest in the mods, we appreciate all the support!

Q: Will it work after the patch?
A: Absolutely, barring the time all mods need to make adjustments and get back online after a patch. Obviously we may have a bit more work than others due to the new additions being similar in what tables they edit, so we'll definitely be doing that right after patch.

Q: Will you be removing the duplicate units?
A: Any that share a direct name, specifically the Norgrimling Iron Drakes, and the Deff Creepers will be reworked, and we are still considering how to handle the 4 from each faction that share a unit type. I will update this soon with a more complete strategy.

Q: Will this mod now require the DLC?
A: No I don't believe so, however there's some really amazing content in this DLC, I can already see so much potential, and the price is incredibly fair for the amount of content, so I highly recommend you get it regardless!
