I thought that CA asked people to make sure their drivers were updated for this new DLC. I'd wait and see if they come up with a hotfix.

This games becomes less stable for me with every update. When it came out I could tab out, but now the game inevitably crashes if I do. I also have random crashes in multiplayer.

I don't understand people saying WE units are bad. I've not had any trouble with eternal guard holding the line while glade guard and other archers pelt everything with arrows. I've had plenty of battles against orcs and beastmen where I've been severely outnumbered in terms of infantry but still came out on top. Orion starts with really solid abilities which together with archers rout enemies super easy when they're bunched up in melee. Wild Riders are also extremely good. Eternal guard and glade guard are both really solid T1 units. dumb and kinda scared posted:Here is a little guiide to playing Kholek Fantastic.

I think WElves should be given something that reduces, or maybe even eliminates arrow based friendly fire. Maybe just give it to certain units like wardancers and the more elite melee elves. Or hell, give it to the higher tier archers so I've actually got an incentive to upgrade my archers. edit: Hawkriders really need to start firing faster when they get in range, and fire more rapidly in general. loving trebuchets could turn and fire quicker.

Thoughts on Welves from a not great multiplayer player that I've been noticing: -Good composition and arrangement of bow units are both really important. Taking into account range, poison, or AP, followed by firing direction and ormation are important. Something simple like a 360 degree firing radius is a useful thing to put on your flank to catch units trying to get around your sides while putting a long line of poison arrows in the center to poison charging units can work wonders for instance. -Good abilities for Lords. Glade lords get a type of ability similar to Net of Amyntok that also decreases missile resistance of units. Tree lords can heal friendlies. Orion has a bombardment and Gehenna-style ability, neither of which use magic. Durthu has a big fuckoff tree laser that's pretty potent, and is benefited greatly by the fact that he fires from an elevated position. There's a bunch of other ones, but Welves have a distinct advantage when it comes to the abilities of its Lords. -Buffing/debuffing units are very important in melee engagements. I know it goes without saying, but it goes doubly for the Elves. Elves can't hold out long, but whatever you can do to use their sizable damage ouput against the enemy through buffs and debuffs is an important part of playing them. Spells like Miasma and Flock of Doom along with Durthu's two offensive skills should be put to use in breaking down enemy units as well. -Despite pubbies complaining, Wild Riders are good. They've got Frenzy that puts them on par with more expensive units, and are really quick, especially in forests. -Not a fan of their missile cavalry though that's kind of par for Warhammer. That's mostly player preference though. Hagsbane Glade Riders are nice as poison slows down pursuing units that you can harass, though. -Really nice selection of monsters. Forest Dragons are really powerful, especially especially as mounts for units that can heal themselves. Tree Kin are a nice price for how strong they are. Eagles are good bodyguards for flying Lords. And I've had it happen several times where

Also, put your archers on guard mode if you aren't already. It'll stop them chasing routing enemies and getting caught up in the melee line. Instead they'll just pick a new target by themselves.

Yeah, I've had 0 issues playing VH/VH. Just use a frontline of Eternal Guards with Shields and then pelt them with arrows. I don't get the complaints. It helps that Orions army gets brokenly OP towards the end of the game since he can invest in both the ranged and melee army buff tree so your Eternal Guard will feel like Ironbreakers, your archers will melt units by glancing at them and your Waywatcher will snipe enemy Lords like he was spamming prenerf spirit leech. But even before you get to that point the roster still feels solid enough. (units costing amber is dumb though)

I've updated drivers, removed all mods, etc. Crash crash crash crash crash.

Buffs melee damage and missile resistance, so pretty perfect for a unit stuck in that you're also pelting with arrows. That said, I'd really like to see higher tier archers get way higher accuracy even if they get nerfed in other ways to compensate just for thematic reasons.

They've got a large hitbox and not all that much armour, so a whole bunch of arrows can do the trick despite their large health pool. Glade Riders, Hawk Riders, and/or the Waystalker hero can all get into range early on, and will also usually keep its rocks away from your more densely clustered other units.

I was hoping a turtle up and just defend the Oak campaign would be really fun but actually it sucks. I don't understand how anyone can play in heavily wooded maps. I have to pause every 20 seconds just to figure out where my troops are and what's going on with the battle. If I could just dig up that oak and move it to say, the middle of the wastelands, it would be so good.

I played a VC counts campaign today and when I got to Altdorf everything was covered in elves. I then had some of the most fun battles I'd ever had against the insane Elven doomstack clusters. Motherfuckers brought six forest dragons to the party. Orien was with a stack of 19 Wild Riders. Vlad and Manfred were fighting back to back in the middle of a vast herd of Blood Dragons. Game is good.

Organise your formation well in the deployment phase and lock the formation of the main body of your troops so you don't need to worry about them. Make sure you know the formation movement commands. Don't feel bad about using the slo mo and pause liberally.

Something non-elf to report: Marienburg's wall towers are not firing and have not done so for over a month now. Apparently the same is happening in Akendorf, but i personally have not seen this yet. It is not Mod-related as i started a fresh Empire game without any mods on just so i could test this out; The Marienburg walls have no capture points and this leads to the towers simply not firing, ever. Its a new issue since patch4 and is still here in patch5, it seems to be related to the very map that Marienburg and Akendorf use. Quite annoying :/

I don't think wood elves existed at the time of the war of the beard, they changed into their current state from High Elves living in athel loren who refused to return to ulthuan when the rest of the elves decided they'd had enough.

Dwarfs from the Vaults/Karak Norn occasionally intrude on Athel Loren's borders for supplies, though usually only in desperation. Dwarfs never use wood for construction (if you can't build it out of metal, it's nonsense that's just not worth making), so they tend to leave the Elves hump their trees in peace. I think Clan Angrund's friendliness in the Grand Campaign is just game mechanics though.

You may already know this but - If you hold down space bar the panel on the right includes options to turn off tree foliage, including an option to have tree foliage off at all times (even without holding spacebar). Now it still is confusing because this only turns off the tree foliage near your camera but it's something.

So the typical elf build seems to be: 4 Treekin 4 Eternal guard 4 glade guard an airforce branch wraith And they use life magic on the treekin line to be tanky as hell while the spears protect the archers. I think the counters to it are either winning in the air (which is pretty tough if the glade guard are focusing you) or having a unit to smash through the spear line and get into the arrows. I've been using chariots to pretty good effect, with their buffs they become archer murdering machines. Don't forget to chase the glade guard completely off the field if you can, archers coming back later is a problem. As Chaos I like Archaon a lot for ground, or a chaos lord on a dragon with a fire sorcerer in the air to boost the fire damage if you're contesting the air, with manticore buddies of course.

My wood elf mini campaign seems to be broken I'd saved up all my amber before improving the tree which meant that as soon as i'd killed the initial 4 stacks, I went ahead with upgrading the rest of the way. And that seems to have broken the campaign. No option for the final battle (Silver Spire), as it's still greyed out.
