Do dwarves usually attack you a lot and generally want to fight you as Empire? This is my first Empire game and boy do you have a lot of fronts and enemies as them, but i thought dwarves were supposed to kinda be your buds.

People with spare Grom codes, you may want to consider giving them out as a tourney prize/give one to the goon organizing the tourney if they'd like. Figure it might give some goons more incentive to compete. (I don't but that's because I just don't have the time right now).

Dwarfs are petty little assholes that will take umbrage over getting underpaid by one copper coin by your great-great-great-great-great-grandfather and blow up your poo poo as revenge. On a serious note, minor Dwarf holds will occasionally pick fights against neighbors, and this becomes a lot more commonplace the harder the difficulty setting.

The main Dwarf faction, and most the smaller factions, are really chill. They basically never go behind your back, and if you make a non-aggression pact with them, that's loving it, they will not attack you for the rest of the game no matter what (unless you break the NAP, in which case, they will never not attack you no matter what). A couple of the smaller Dwarf factions, notably Kharak Norn and Kharak Hirn, are absolute twats and have a tendency to turn hostile at seemingly random while you're preoccupied elsewhere. Speaking of dwarves: How do I play the Agrund campaign? The starting province kinda sucks, because it's impossible to defend it all with one stack - And one stack is all you can afford, since you have 50% more upkeep. By turn 40 or so, Skarsnik rolls in from the north, usually with four stacks, including a arachnarok. I then die. I'm on my fourth try, and I just get owned every time at turn 50 or so.

Ok, I've tried every loving strategy I can think of against Bretonnia as chaos, I've massed chosen, massed chaos marauders, fought them in the air, tried forsaken, tried chaos warriors, but the problem is they'll always have more units than you, there's no easy way to get into their skirmishers, and their loving flying goonsquad is always better than your lords/heroes and can't be grounded if they know what they're doing. It's insanely dumb.

Also peasants rout super loving early and are faster than your units so they always just come back at like 3/4 health even if you win the fight and you can't chase them down without wasting money on a warhound unit that will just be hit by a paladin.

Bret peasants are just way too cost effective right now. They're loving peasants in Bretonnia, they should be sickly excuses of men only there to eat a charge while their glorious leaders carry the day on majestic steeds.

By turn 40 or so, Skarsnik rolls in from the north, usually with four stacks, including a arachnarok. I then die. I've only played any campaign on Hard difficulty so I can't really speak to how it works after that, but my strategy as Clan Angrund was to immediately secure the Vaults (barely hired any units to do so, you can do it with your starting lot & a few of the ghost ancestors, easy). I kept one ghost thane deployed in the province and the other 3 ghosts attached to the army. Once the vaults were taken I swung north and took out Crooked Moon with about 15 units in my army (ancestors included). It was a tough battle but I won it after a couple tries and that was that, Skarsnik was no longer an issue. I then defended against some stuff for about 10 turns and around turn 30 I started underway and force-marching a 17-strong army over towards Karak Eight Peaks. I took the undefended settlement next to it, Valaya's Sorrow, and used that as a supply point to hire a bunch of regiments of renown. I had a single turn of losing money, and then I took Karak Eight Peaks by storm in a siege that was far easier than I expected, since dwarfs are loving beasts at siege assaults if you're careful (taking out towers in one area, then moving up the rangers to annihilate stuff on the walls before sending the ghosts in). Once K8P is taken it's like a weight lifts and you're swimming in money and have no public order problems ever again and can maybe just confederate the main dwarf faction straight away. Taking K8P is priority (along with dealing with Skarsnik, I think) and leaving it too long will ruin you.

I just finished up the Angrund campaign I was complaining about last night so I might have a bit of insight. I found the most important thing was getting non-agression pacts with everyone around you, particularly Tilea and the Border Princes. I think there's probably some benefit in helping Karak Norn deal with their goblin problem and stick around as a buffer since my big issues on defense came from trying to defend both provinces with a single stack. I ended up using Karak Hirn to blunt the worst of the goblin threat from the east and funneled some gold into the main dwarf faction so they could keep the bulk of the greenskins occupied. It's going to be really key to leverage the ancestor agents on the battle map since they can do a ton of great work and it will be hard to support enough quality troops to take Eight Peaks without them.

Speaking of K8P, as far as I understand the fluff, that place has a pretty good chance of ending up a Skaven settlement once they are added to the game, I think. Orcs and Dwarfs fought over it until the Dwarfs all fled or died, then Skaven came in and overran the place and mostly took over business.

Skaven, Greenskins, and Dwarfs have been fighting over owning 8 peaks for a long time in the fluff. I think the idea is all three factions have a foothold of some sort in the Karak and are fighting over the rest of it.

Skaven occupying K8P would be more interesting in the campaign though. It should not be the player controlled Skaven faction though, those guys should be down in Skavenblight.

Karak Eight Peaks is basically an eternal three-way Conquest game in Battlefield, and no side can manage to cap most of the points at one time.

Remember, CA is billing them as full games, not expansions (even though they're probably somewhere in between). The next game is gonna need to have naval combat and tons of new assets, so I'd expect it sometime in the first half of next year. e; especially considering there's no way they'll be able to release for christmas. tomb kings will probably be in ~january

How do you use Steam Tanks best? Are they best in the thick of the melee or at range shooting into it?

I like using them as flank anchors a little way ahead of the main line at one end. If they get mobbed up you can turn handgunners/artillery on whatever's clustered round them, and if the AI ignores them you can use them to fire into the melee along your front.
