Is this new DLC going to break my old savegames/mods? I've only got Cataph's magic mod, no regen cap and the no public order bonuses for AI mod installed.

On that subject, Grombrindal starts with a unit of Irondrakes, a unit of Gyrocopters, and miners w/ blasting charges

Getting started as Crooked Moon feels tough, when there are no "easy" settlements nearby for you to take. I ended up trading capitals with Karak Norn, and only got mine back after several turns thanks to a Waaagh.

Holy crap, even on just Hard Skarsnik's campaign is really a rough slog. Surrounded by factions that will declare war on you sooner rather than later, I lost a big fight and was chain sieged by Karak Norn and The Empire turn after turn so I can't even recruit stuff other than 2 heroes to try to get back on my feet. It all went south when I didn't realize that the Waaagh stack will go after Belegar's stack and got my rear end beat down. Killed Belegar and most of his army but lost my entire stack (still not clear why sometimes you survive in an open field fight when you lose and run and sometimes you just die)

With Skarsnik I think you really have to leverage your starting goblin big boss to neuter incoming stacks. I've managed to turn belegar's giant stacks of rangers back a few times by assasinating him and then smashing his leaderless army.

Yeah Crooked Moon's start is pretty rough. I was doing alright by just abandoning the area you start in as soon as I had a full stack. Took Karak Norn's two towns when they kept sacking mine and then set off for the badlands. Tried to rush for Karak Eight Peaks but it didn't work. The Crooked Moon usurpers somehow have top tier troops already at turn 19: Tried to bait them away by going into ambush nearby but they seem pretty good at protecting it.

Thats probably to stop Karak eight peaks changing hands a dozen times before you even get there. It'd be a kick in the pants to arrive and see grimgor took it at some point and now you have to declare on the greenskins to get it back.

I'm on turn 36 of a Belegor VH campaign, and it has been a constant stream of stacks from the north and east. The Border Princes decided to get pissy for no reason and declared war while I was consolidating my starting province, then the crooked moon usurpers showed up with a stack, which was followed by Norn falling to Skarsnik and Crooked Moon making GBS threads on my front steps. Ethereal hero's are not making up the slack!

Yeah I think it's a good thing, just a warning for anyone else playing Crooked Moon that running for Karak Eight Peaks probably won't work unless you can catch it undefended and they might programmed not to.

I like extra content but did they really have to split up the factions from Dwarves and Greenskins into the generic ones and then Clan Angrund, The Bloody Handz and Crooked Moon? I mean, their rosters, with the exception of the heroes, are the same: if anything it'll psyche out an opponent in multiplayer expecting you to take their special hero(es) but otherwise it's just bloating the faction list.

Wurrzag and Skarsnik are almost completely new factions in terms of building assets, so I had to push a real update to my tier 4 mod. It's already been updated on Steam for those of you who use it. I don't actually own the DLC so I couldn't test it fully (just startup and Wurrzag), yell at me if you find anything odd. The outpost mod I was posting about a while ago is shelved indefinitely for now, it's a shitload of work that I have to repeat per faction and I just don't care to anymore. Maybe I'll come back around to it after the first big expansion.

What's the verdict on Nasty Skulkers? A low tier armour piercing unit for Greenskins sounds like the perfect thing for flanking pesky dwarfs.

The bolt thrower! THE BOLT THROWER!!! Picked up two at the start of a Ungrim campaign... it is the goobiest piece of no-fun, gently caress you, cheap piece of poo poo unit in the game. Between the two of them, un-upgraded you can stunlock any lord or monster in the game. They literally can't move once they get into range. It's loving beautiful.

In campaign I'm liking them because they help me to surround enemy armies, stalk lets them get into flanking positions you wouldn't otherwise be able to get troops.

Arcsquad12 posted:What's the verdict on Nasty Skulkers? A low tier armour piercing unit for Greenskins sounds like the perfect thing for flanking pesky dwarfs. They are super fun. Their smoke bomb ability is extremely powerful against mobile enemies, and they get a huge damage and attack boost so long as they are winning combat. On the flip side they have worst armor, defense, and leadership than even regular gobbos, so if they don't hit flanks or rear they get routed almost immediately, and burst into flames if targeted by ranged. So they are an all in kind of unit that either win big or lose huge. To ask my own question, what's the point of squig hoppers? They are more expensive than herds, require research to unlock, and seem to have overall worst stats. I'm not sure when I would rather take then compared to plain squigs.

Arcsquad12 posted:What's the verdict on Nasty Skulkers? A low tier armour piercing unit for Greenskins sounds like the perfect thing for flanking pesky dwarfs. They're good, ideal flanking units because they get a triggered boost to their abilities if they're winning a fight. So if they're just stabbing the backs of some already-engaged dwarfs they do tons of damage. I have noticed something potentially concerning - the Drippin' Tips skill that gives all units in a lord's army poison damage seems to overwrite the 'sunder armour' damage type. I haven't examined in closely in-battle but it certainly no longer appears on the stat card next to the weapon damage/missile damage.

Man, the way you unlock Grombrindal is the most Games Workshop thing possible. I'm curious how they worked that deal out with Sega. I wonder if and when they add Dark Elves to the campaign if he'll have cross words for Malekith, considering he's the vengeful incarnation of Snorri Whitebeard. Deep cuts for us lore nerds.

Skarsnik campaign: Take a city lose the previous city. Keep having to heal so I can't get a waaagh going. Get about 1-3 turns between attacks from multiple stacks (How the gently caress is Belegar's faction able to afford all these stacks at +50% upkeep?!) Win one fight, barely win the next, lose the third but kill the opposing lord only to see the opposing army get a fresh new lord added to it. I'm both having a blast and getting angry.

Skarsnik campaign is tougher than I expected in the beggining, it's hard to defeat the assholes of Karak Norn with your basic troops, luckily gobbos are so cheap you can start a second army right away and bury them with numbers.

The ghosts are utter, complete bullshit agents in the hands of the AI. Even at level 1, against level 10 agents(because Skarsnik bonus agent exp), I can't even try to assassinate them as "odds are too low." So better hope that RNG doesn't have their missions succeed, because there's literally nothing you can do to prevent them from hitting you every single turn, given the AI basically never runs out of money. What fun.

It feels like Goblins early on do not have a good time with human factions. So many decent ranged and shielded/amoured units that can shrug off wolf riders/archers and make it rather awkward to use Skulkers beyond one or two units.
