Rogue Factor’s tactical-RPG Mordheim: City of the Damned showcases its four independent campaigns in the new Campaign Trailer. With a campaign for each Warband, the Human Mercenaries, the Skaven from Clan Eshin, the Sisters of Sigmar and the Cult of the Possessed, explore a unique story and meet the Dramatis Personae!
These battle-hardened heroes of Mordheim will chaperone you through each of the campaigns. They are powerful and unique warriors who can completely turn the tide of battles with unique abilities and skills.
Introduce yourself to Luther Wolfenbaum, Bertha Bestraufrung, Fylch Sharptail and Merga Ottweiler in the trailer below, sampling a taste of their aptitude for combat with new debuff skills, powerful single-target heals, area-of-effect dodge buffs, and a powerful mage spell, Forsake, able to shutdown enemy magic users by increasing the chances of spells backfiring.
Mordheim is a hostile place, so make sure you’re ready when traveling across all the different districts. From the Temple of Sigmar, to the Market District or the Count Steinhardt's palace, Mordheim is not only filled with enemy warbands but also with other evil creatures lurking in the shadows, such as the great Chaos Ogre, the lethal Alluress, the Curator, and many more.
With four fully fledged stories and a slew of procedural missions, Mordheim offers almost endless single player campaign content, as well as its popular online modes.
Fight for glory and Wyrdstone in Mordheim: City of the Damned, available in a few days on PC.
Interesting, me likey. I wasn't even aware that this game existed until now, but it looks good. 'I don't have enough games to play'...said no one ever this year
Just started this to try it out. After starting the game i get overwhelmed by the menus..
They definately should have done a tutorial that explains the basics of the menus. Instead of having to find and click on every submenu to get a popup with what it does.
// Tried to play the first mission now. I have no fucking clue what is going on.
This plays like a turn based third person action game.
There doesn't seem to be any story in the game. Just some scenarios with objectives like "capture the relic" or kill everyone.
MEH. Not in the mood for something complex like this. Was expecting a game like Blackguards.
Maybe gonna try it again in some days, but i doubt it.
Don't give up Bob! It takes patience (after some initial blatant fails I had to necessarily go through all the tutorials), and after doing those it's definitely manageable.
The game is alright in my opinion. It's almost like fantasy chess, with big focus on the positioning (it truly is vital), and a structure akin to a 3D Darkest Dungeon, only less unforgiving and with many tactics available for the combat (ambush, charge, normal attack, parry, dodge etc - plus the 4 separate classes grant a certain degree of variety).
There is enough depth which is nice, unfortunately indeed the "campaign" isn't exactly as I hoped since it's mainly composed by randomly generated missions with barely no dialogues/story-related objectives..too bad. The gameplay itself works well, the only downside as often happen in such cases is that I can see it getting tiring in the long run.
I might give it a another try in a few weeks, with the help of some guide(s) reading.
But like i said, i currently am not in the mood to first having to learn a game to even understand the basics. Maybe i am just too derp for this game.

Read this first!", and the appropriate forum for bugs reporting and technical issues, and do no post in general discussions. The general discussion forum is very hard for us to navigate as there is a lot of movement, so we only look at it briefly.
If you get a game breaking bug, such as a crash to desktop, please make a post in the bug report section, and also send your output log and a copy of your combat log, found in your steam install directory:
- Steam\SteamApps\common\mordheim\mordheim_Data\output_log.txt
- Steam\SteamApps\common\mordheim\combat.log
Email this log to logs at rogue-factor.com and we'll take a look at it. Please link your post/thread in your email so we can return to it. A DxDiag can also be helpful, and if you managed to take a screenshot that will also help quite a bit.
Special Note
Please note, that due to the changes in the RNG system, if you kept a combat save before the update, it will be removed and your Warband will be send back to its hideout, without any consequences.
We hope you enjoy this patch. Feel free to check the forums regularly to get information on what's coming next to Mordheim: City of the Damned
No fix for vsync causing insane loading times. That's why I gave up on the game, I can't play with screen tearing and stuttering but vsync makes load screens 2-3x longer.
Someone needs to force these fucking devs to play a mouse-driven turn-based game.
I was in the mood for something turn-based and I like the setting, so I decided to give this a go despite the horrible looking UI. It's even worse than I expected it to be. It's like the game was only made to show how badly a gamepad focus can fuck up UI and controls. Deployment is basically unusable and takes 5-10 minutes instead of the 10-20 seconds it would take with a proper camera and mouse control. I would've accomplished as much in ~50 minutes that I did in 2+ hours if it wasn't so shoddily made.
Hopefully they'll come to their senses and fix the abomination of an UI because the actual game is decent enough, though it needs way more variety in warbands. It doesn't seem very likely that they'll actually bother fixing anything, but a man can hope..
You are over-exaggerating or doing something wrong if the deployment takes 5-10 minutes. The UI is visually pleasing and provides every information you need, but there are some control bugs and the fact that the mouse cursor isn't implemented everywhere makes it annoying at times.
But if you can get past these minor problems and u'r not bothered by the average production value, Mordheim is a pretty damn good game, extremely difficult as well.

Haven't you heard Djaoni, it's all about the real time combats now. Turn based is too old skool. It's all about reacting without the need to think anymore.
Logic tells me that GW should have made tons of $$$with their sickly overpriced warhammer models, but most of the time they try to make a video game they seems to have no money to spend.
This looks so fucking budget, and so do most of their games and its the same with the animated movie that was released some years back.
Why dont they make a selected few games instead and make them AAA instead of making 100s and 99% looks like total crap.
These games like Bloodbowl and Space Hulk are too safe for me to enjoy them as video games. Playing tabletop games on the PC isn't as fun as playing games design as video games.
The mechanics in these games are unique, but they are limiting the mechanics just to be faithful. I want to see more customization like create your own class, that kind of thing, stuff that can't be done on tabletop. Like what Hearthstone did with the WoW TCG.

It's just licensing the brand makes them a hefty profit KeyserSoeze. They probably don't care so much about quality control so long as the money keeps coming in. In this day and age I can't really blame them for it either, even if it's against my ideals. Just look at Steam and Valve, they greenlight any old shit nowadays.
For all the hours I've put into this game I’m still not sure if I can recommend it. Its price tag is getting dangerously close to that of AAA titles, but without the high production value that comes with this type of game. Mordheim is visibly crippled by its lack of production value at every step. It’s clunky, lacking unique content and in desperate need of an AI that can keep up. Overcoming all these issues can be hard. In return it can easily offer dozens of hours of challenging battles, tactical ingenuity and detailed characters development. Factoring in the multiplayer which provides the most intense experience and the replay value that comes with this type of games and there is already a lot of value in Mordheim: City of the Damned.
For the fans of the tabletop games it is great to see a new game in their favorite universe. The fans of tactical turn based games will find it as a good distraction until XCOM 2 comes out. And for the rest of the players it is probably safer to wait for a sale. As for me, it’s an enjoyable game with extremely high potential delivered in a tin crackling shell that constantly undermines Mordheim's best qualities.
Today we are proud to release the 3rd patch (v1.1.4.8 ) for Mordheim: City of the Damned. We are also releasing 2 new exclusive Hired Swords: the Smuggler and the Globadier, available as DLC in the Steam Store!

So, I've been playing this a bit in the last days, and so far it seems awesome. Kind of like a mix of XCOM (missions + roster management) on ironman mode and darkest dungeon. Yup, there's no saves, only autosaves -> no savescumming!
Tried the game a bit during the last free weekend and it was pretty fun although all fun disappeared when I found out that the enemies leveled out with you in every single way despite the game having a forced time progression
Oh wow, I had no idea... just googled a bit and you're right. It seems that any progression or improvement of your team is meaningless, since the enemy team always scales to your power in every single way. In fact, apparently not leveling up at all can make the game easier.
Bleh, not gonna waste more of my time then. Thanks for the heads-up
Edit: The story missions - the ones that you need to do to actually end the story part of the game (i.e., the goal of the singleplayer playthrough) do not scale to your power. So there's a good reason to progress - while progressing makes standard missions harder than not progressing, you need to train a strong team to actually finish the campaign.
Phew, a great game almost got ruined by a stupid design choice

Ive been enjoying it quite a bit, and havent seen quite a game like it, in the sense that punishes your mistakes so hard that you end up having some of your (ex) best fighters, with woodlegs and stumps.. when they get maimed, they really get maimed, permanently. That ads perfectly to the brutality of the warhammer setting, and weights heavily on your moves

Meanwhile the people of that generation will call those guys relics, and not move with the times when everything is auto fucking.
The undead warband will officially be announced soon btw. Anyway, I highly recommend trying this game out if you like games like xcom or darkest dungeon).
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
