Trying to cheese Marienburg's siege in turn 2 I discovered two things:

-Louen can't climb walls even on foot. He's the only fucker in the realm without a handy pocket-sized ladder.
-Cavalry can hit the gate with their swords and break it down, given enough time. Heck, even managed to warp two units of knights through the gate when it still was at 90%.

recruit 4 archers on turn 1, siege Marienburg on turn 2
put your entire army except LL and the trebuchets in the forest to the left
run around with LL in front of the leftmost tower absorbing shots while arty destroys it, don't forget to pop heals, shields etc
shoot a hole in the wall. you might have enough ammo for another hole or a second tower
run around with LL close to the wall, until the enemy mortar(s) is out of ammo
murder everything on the wall with your archers, don't waste ammo on bad angles or shooting into the ruined tower
repeat until archers out of ammo
clean up with infantry
profit

This guy shows it nicely on legendary, with only 65 dead and ~15% hp lost on LL and the mage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7SCU8ROEBg starting at 20:30

Harder difficulty in this game feels like not so much actual harder difficulty but rather bigger handicaps for the player. AI is just as effective at micromanaging cavalry on easy as it is on legendary.

Hello friends Gejnor here with another mod!

Today i have a must have since its a Bug Fix:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=875095758

Currently in the Campaign if you play as Balthasar Gelt you cannot pick up your Royal Pegasus Mount at Level 11 since CA messed up and just changed the tooltip to level 11, the mount is still 21, so you cannot actually get the mount.

The mod fixes this!

Also, Gelt is now fun to play, he requires more caution than the other LL's but the addition of +10 armour to all forces and Lore of Metal being much better now makes him viable.

There's a fully fledged expansion coming next that will add Ulthuan and the New World.

Bretonnia was the last race to be added to complete the base game.

For this game.

There are 2 other full games with their own DLC to be released that can combine with this one for a grand campaign and also be played solo. Current speculation is that game 2's main races will be Lizardmen, Skaven, High Elves, and Dark Elves with Tomb Kings will be one of the first DLC based on a leaked roadmap in the game's files.

It's funny that the game has mixed reviews on Steam and all the negative ones are whining about the DLC. Like the base game is pretty loving huge.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
I'm starting to think Brettonia can only get pyrric victories or valiant defeats.

I mean if I kill 1200 dudes and only lose 400 knights that clearly is a good fight! :v:

Yeah, the Greenskin incursions just power the gently caress out of your lord. By the time they're done you're leveled up a good bunch with ridiculous traits, and hopefully you've picked up some nice blue items on the way.

The 'meta' can be kinda lame but multiplayer battles are really fun and you can use a wide range of units

I have successfully used goblin spears and goblin archers in MP. Even a boar chariot.

Goddam this game looks great and the more spectacular races are still to come. Dinosaurs and feathery headresses for the Lizard Men, shiny everything for the High and Dark Elves, crazy lightning weapons and huge hordes for the Skaven. And then you have Tomb King chariot armies and entire factions of Ogres riding giant death rhinos.

There are some mods that have them. I think radious does and so does cataphs. Then some sort of faction unlocker lets you play as them.
