rockopete posted:Wouldn't these help to slow down invading armies as well? Given how compact VC territory is. It doesn't slow down the Orks who raid you, because they get underground movement, which is not affected by terrain. You, as the VC do not get underground movement. This means you have a harder time moving around your own twisted, corrupted vampiric lands than the invading armies that have no business being in your unholy domain. It doesn't slow down the Dwarfs that attack you for the same reason. It does slow down the human factions, which is 1/3 or 1/4 of the threats you face when you include Chaos. So like, if I'm fighting the dwarves in the east and the empire comes in for a raid from the west, I need about 4 turns to get there with my one army. The dwarves and orks can move through in 2. Vamps should be able to move around their own stuff at least as easily as Dwarves and Orks do, ie no movement penalties.

The anti public order cheat mod for AI really makes this game much more interesting. They apparently get a huge boost that helps the AI ignore both the corruption effects and public order detriment. Removing the bonus makes factions less likely to blob into one big confederation (More land=more land to defend.) late game and actually lets you do some neat stuff to help destabilize provinces. Interestingly enough the AI understands full well when it doesn't have the cheats activated for it. It'll start building public order buildings in each province to try to circumvent further issues instead of just stacking more buildings to buff their economy. So it really does feel like an unfair cheat in their favor.

Am I correct in feeling that if you lose a single battle with Archaon as Chaos, you're knocked down to the bottom of the tech tree and it's basically game over?  Since your hero is your "town", and if he is wounded and comes back, all the "buildings" are gone, you're back at square one if you lose even once.

Now I have a vague idea how to play this game I restarted my dwarf campaign on higher difficulty. In what is definitely an excellent and strategically-sound decision I'm ignoring the greenskins for now and attacking Zhufbar. I wanted Grom Peak pretty much from the start last time, now I'm taking it.

Something I think would be a good OP addition would be mentioning getting LLS. Imo, Kholek is the best start for chaos because Archaon and Signal are stupid quick to get, while Kholek takes years since you need a tier 4 building. Gelt is the best start as Empire because A) any of the northern or eastern humans will soon get their asses kicked hard enough to want confederation. B) The tier 5 building to get Gelt gets you better/more wizards, the worst Heroes of the empire. An earlier poster mentioned unlocking Mannfred in 10 turns vs me completing a VC campaign without getting Heinrich. No clue about Orcs, but iirc dwarves require getting the Slayer building which is the last building you'll want to get with how Slayers are currently. I really think Slayers should have been a hero option, or at least legendary Slayers. Re:Chaos Remember that you can buy further up the tech tree without researching the branches you've unlocked already. Re: VC and trade. If you beat up the other vampires and/or manage to go raid the northern Goblins before the dwarves kill them, you will get enough favour to trade with a few human factions. And if you raid the Bloody Spears you can probably get trade with Dwarves. Re: faction difficulty I really believe it's a personal taste thing. Dwarves are pretty easy for battles, just need quarrelers, artillery and a line of whatever tough dudes keeping the enemy at bay. But kind of a dangerous slog before you put Grimgor in check. Orcs are constant fighting with not a care in the world besides getting settlements up to fund your favourite units. Chaos is constant fighting without city management but a weird political focus on the tribes that's mostly combat oriented instead of trade. Empire is a weird political intrigue and trade negotiations simulator with the bonus of starting with your late game infantry. How you battle is much more up in the air than other factions since all your units are great at their job. Vampire Counts is a slow start and kind of goes where you want it. You can be a pseudo empire and use politicking, or you can go chaos style and raise the world because no one likes you anyway. Also an easy battle style since you have no ranged units. On another note, finally got to exploring France and noticed the "impenetrable forest" hyyyyyype.

No enemy agents isn't really that good for gameplay. Keep in mind that the reason why agents are such a pain is that the AI is built so that they'll intensively micro them every turn to pull off an action. Even if it fails. Couple that with the bonuses they get to cash and other stuff and they can afford to use an agent every turn. Optimally they'd use them like humans do and not just spam actions to power level them. This means that by the mid game they typically have a few agents that just loving wreck stuff. Hell, they even do more advanced tricks like having them disperse from an army and raid prior to sieging it if it has walls. Meanwhile most players won't just rush an army or settlement to damage buildings. Which is part of why they're such a pain. They tend to get a level advantage on you that leads to you not able to assassinate them and them just chasing your army everywhere to spam actions. Removing some of the bonuses helps to fix this. Like making it so that priest type heroes have to actually spend time in their home provinces purging corruption. I'd actually recommend not getting it and instead focus on the underlying cause. The corruption and public order mod though seems to be legit. The AI is pretty clearly designed to work as if it doesn't have benefits on that front. Hell, if anything Kislev actually lasted up until Archaon showed up in the last few games i've had simply because they had prepared for the arrival of Chaos by having public order buildings set up. Which meant that they only had to deal with doom stacks instead of rebels in their off time when they had to rebuild. I'd also recommend the better event and trait triggers mods. It changes and fixes up the event system so that things make more sense. It does turn Sigvald into a hysterical corruption machine though. Mid game Sigvald can add like 6% corruption on to a province per turn. Though that's kind of his thing, aside from being a melee monster. Couple that with the mod that fixes event and trait triggers (IE: The guy who got Grimgor with a trade bonus.) and he can do some crazy poo poo on the strategic map. IE: If you have a hero that constantly raids and sacks they'll start getting traits that would logically come if your character was raiding ___ faction. Including whether or not they are doing it to their own side. Right now both the event system and trait trigger system are kind of randomized. Adding in a formalized system like that means that games actually get kind of even more different each new start since how factions end up playing in their corner of the world leads to heroes with different traits.

Banshees are actually really goddamn good in combat if you know what's so special about them. Otherwise they suck hard. They have the ethereal trait and do magical damage. Typically most stuff with the latter is a glass cannon unless it's a lord. Tack on the ethereal trait and they instantly reduce all physical damage against them by 75% by default. Give one a 10% to 20% ward save item or a physical resistance item and they can literally tank down entire units on their own by virtue of being absolutely loving unkillable. They also are great assassins. I completely blunted an entire chaos invasion just by sending a horde of them up north along with a few wight kings to damage stacks that were sieging.

The reason they're such a pain in the rear end is that other actions the AI would normally have to take are invalidated due to the bonuses they receive. The AI will cheerfully spend time loving other factions over with heroes that would otherwise have to be used countering the effects of things like public order and corruption for instance. Stripping that out means that they actually have to get closer to using them the way they're intended. Which they seem perfectly capable of doing. The main problem itself from what i've seen doesn't seem to be that they're used unfairly. Though it is an issue. It's that they aren't needed for all the minutiae that a player needs them for.

The issue is that you, the player, have to paint the map. Agents basically slow down conquest. They impede armies, they harass cities, they take time away from fighting, they make it harder to prosecute the conquest that you as the player have to do if you are trying to win. Remember, none of the other factions or AI or anyone gives a poo poo. You are playing a videogame to win, a videogame in which you start tiny with like 1 province and have to conquer a bunch of your neighbors. Your neighbors aren't trying to do anything other than slow you down and screw with you, which they oblige. There are just too many agents, too many irrelevant skills to level up, too many positioning issues where I not only chase enemy armies but agents too, too many caps on agents (3 of each, why not let me do 9 of any kind I want, fuuuck), and too many overall limits to make it fun. If agents didn't cost maintenance, if actions didn't cost money, if the stuff could be automated, if you didn't have to deal with 10:1 odds, if the agents were distinct and interesting... I think when you reach a certain number of band aids to make a system work you should consider that it sucks and doesn't help the game. I really like the implementation of heroes in fights - that owns. It doesn't require the boring agent map clickspam though. I think removing agents is a valid sidegrade to gameplay much like the conquer anywhere mod. Incidentally you can probably guess which two mods I'll try first.

Yes, that's me being able to assault a walled city without a siege unit built, the wall is at 100%hp. No, I have no clue what causes it. A couple other notes. If a vassal declares war on you, you still get vision of their units and territory, even when they confederate into another faction, somehow. And in that Empire campaign I've had several factions with Neutral attitudes towards me declare war on me. Not sure what it's about but I've removed one stunty and taken half of Bretonnia without instigating war once.

Vampires To Unlock Mannfred, you have to claim Western Sylvania, ie The first loving thing you do every time you play VC To unlock Kemmler you have to build a T4 building that unlocks Necromancers, your worst hero type. Empire To unlock Franz you have to confederate once. To unlock Gelt you have to build a T4 building that unlocks mages and costs like 10000 gp. Dwarves To unlock Thorgrim you have to clear any 8 grudges. To unlock Ungrim you have to own Slayer Keep, way up in the north under the control of a powerful dwarf faction that generally won't confederate for a while. Orcs To unlock Grimgor you have to slaughter captives10 times To unlock Azhag you have to build a T4 Shaman Building Chaos To unlock Archaeon you have to either kill or sacrifice captives 10 times, I forget which. To unlock Kholek you have to build a T4 building chain you're in no hurry to get. To unlock Sigvald you have to play the Chaos campaign for like 15 minutes. It's so obviously lopsided that I almost think it's deliberate. The Faction leaders are by and large, easier starts, with better starting armies and campaign bonuses, so possibly the easy unlocks are your rewards for choosing the harder start for yourself by playing clearly weaker choices like Kemmler, Gelt, or Azhag.

It's also really silly that the Varg and Skaeling are, by far, a more persistent and dangerous threat than the entirety of Chaos as a faction. I mean honestly, those two fuckers have seven or eight death stacks EACH roaming around at any time. Thanks to how the AI works you will never catch them unless you've got an army of agents to spam at them in the desperate hope of one of them not loving up for once, and even when you do finally get them to fight you their entire army is just missile cavalry that will kite you until you quit in frustration. On top of that, their home is attrition central, meaning you're pretty much always forced to use raiding stance and thus slowly trudge across it while fending off instant doomstack #20937290387429374029374029374972093749827349867 that they're hurling at your face YET AGAIN... tl;dr: gently caress the Varg, gently caress the Skaeling, gently caress whoever thought that poo poo was fun. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't getting endless free stacks while being nearly completely safe from all retribution. If they had their number of stacks limited to, say, two armies at any one time they'd be good enough, but god dammit I just counted eight full stacks roaming around Nordland. That's eight loving stacks of mostly missile cav that will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER die because they cannot be caught outside of the occasional RNG fluke.

drat Dirty Ape posted:Always be fighting, especially in the north. I took another goon's advice and awakened tribes and then immediately attacked them and subjugated them the next turn. The good thing is that then they won't kill each other. The bad news is that they are pretty retarded and will constantly send their armies to the south to die while the barbarians or dwarfs next door destroy them and wipe them out of the game. I started several chaos campaigns and was never able to save the 'beornling's camp' faction near where you start unless I basically camped out there forever, which was and is a bad idea so don't worry about losing it. My approach to the north was similar but differed from yours in a few important ways. Goal #1 was to completely cleanse the north in my campaign. There are basically two valleys running east-west through the north. I split off a second horde relatively early and spent the first part of the game sacking then razing EVERY settlement in the north except one: whatever settlement you decide to awaken a tribe in. That settlement should be west of the dwarves that you'll wipe out early on and in the northern of the two valleys. The logic behind that is to avoid putting the awakened tribe anywhere near the passes to Kislev, otherwise the AI will stupidly decide to go on suicide raids and invaders will wipe out your new ally rather quickly. Instead, the new tribe will go around hoovering up razed settlements and gaining strength. Invaders from the south will turn around after a few turns of chaos corruption decimates their armies (at least that seemed pretty consistent on normal difficulty). Wipe out Skaelling and Varg and your ally will take over the north and actually be able to hold it. In the meantime, sacking and razing all those settlements will give your two armies tons of experience and growth and you'll have a huge surplus of favor to use when you push south.

Playing as Orcs with the radious units and mod, morale is pretty bad but not as bad as it was earlier apparently. I think halfway between Vanilla's instarouting trolls and boyz and Radious's crossbowmen refusing to withdraw with 4 men left would be the sweet spot for me. Anyway I got 3 Waaagh armys up and wiped out the dwarves and Karak Azul or whoever the southern dwarves are, in my game they annihilated all the orc tribes barring a single army and had all the territory below Black Crag, had a few tough seiges there, even though radious greatly nerfs wall towers they're still insanely killy. The one remaining stack of Top Knots proceeded to colonize all the land I'd razed, (pro-tip, burn your enemies to the ground and don't take too much land, it makes defence a complete pain) and I used my hundreds of thousands of gold to make the remaining orcs my vassals, making me the strongest faction in the game. Then Averland declared war on me, got stomped then confederated, demigryphs are still very dangerous. (pro-tip 2: swamp demigryphs and keep your valuable units away from them) and I finally made good on the declare war/accept money for peace dance me and the vamps had been having and sacked Drakenhof while the other vamp factions swallowed up the rest of the VC territory. I've just paid Chaos 100k to be my military ally and the empire has declared war on me so its soon to be a bad time in Altdorf. Most of the Radious units are redundant flavours of orcish heavy infantry, basically giving you more solid tier 2 fighters and more versatility in t3. They match up pretty well against the other factions still, with hard hitting but low defence units but are obvs a little OP at the moment since they're the only ones with a big roster update, also because radious updates like a demon its cool to sometimes load your campaign and have a bunch more troop choices to buy.

After watching from afar as the Dwarves hosed Archaon up real badly, I just won my first TW campaign ever, despite playing since Rome 1. Not even Magnus the Pious matched Karl Franz's efforts. We have now a new, unified Empire, the Vampires are expunged, we are great friends with our neighbors, and we can now turn south to beat back the Greenskins once and for all. This is a good god drat game. Next up, Dorfs? Vampire Counts? Migratory Vampire Counts?

Enemy agents are extraordinarily irritating and by removing their hostile actions from the game, I have more fun and they have more money to spend on armies that are more entertaining to deal with than constant random % chances to gently caress you over.

I feel so confused reading all the agents complaints because i know by the volume of them they have to be pretty valid but i literally have never had trouble with enemy agents in this game aside from my chaos game, and even that was just a bit irritating rather than debilitating. The worse i've ever had has been like 3 agents following a stack around for 2 or 3 turns until one of my assassins deals with them or i wipe the enemy faction out. Is it just because i'm generally only ever at war with one faction at a time? I find it so easy to make peace in this game i'm usually never at war with a faction for more than 10 turns max. Can't be difficulty unless all yall are playing on legendary
