What was that about again? Pontus is cool though, Mithridates VI is one of my all time favorite historical figures.

imo that's part of the appeal of doing a fantasy total war, CA is bad enough at even resembling history that it's kind of grating, so it's nice to have a setting where they don't have to bother Corrode posted:https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1392233274185202&substory_index=0&id=113800552028487 thanks!

Using Steel Faith, an all-Grail Bretonnian army can have around 250~ men that can rout armies ten times larger than it on the regular  I was rather overgeared for the Chaos Errantry War.

For those who want something similar price-wise but for Wood Elves, check out https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/1796-buy-key-steam-total-war-warhammer-realm-of-the-wood-elves/ as that is 22% off for me at the moment, though the price varies it seems.

Run into a bit of a problem in my Empire playthrough, I confederated Middenland finally when the rear end in a top hat was getting his poo poo pushed in by nords he finally gave it up, but the leader Boris Todbringer was dead when I confederated, and after his death timer ran out I'm still unable to recruit him for some reason. Is it bugged or should I hire a potato general and see if he shows up (I have one poo poo guy I recruited and disbanded earlier maybe he's taking the spot)

I just started a Wurrzag campaign and suddenly everyone I run into is doing magic damage. No idea how Grimgor or random Orc Warbosses are getting it, I'm checking their stats after I confederated them and nothing seems to be doing it. Is this a bug? Cuz every Lord I run into is wrecking my Savage Orcs. I don't think they have it as standard, they don't in the custom screen.

He should still appear in your offices tab, but he'll never actually appear to deploy to the field. It sucks.

Estalia would make sense to add at the same time as Skaven. Skavenblight is right next door and iirc they fight each other a lot in the fluff

And here we are again friends, ive got a tiny Fix Mod for the Wood Elves for you this time: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=884895670 For some reason CA either decided or, more probably, forgot that the buff for killing captives should last 5 turns, not 1. Im also working on an Empire Slight Overhaul Mod, it is 99% done with just a niggling tooltip error/problem in regards to unlocking Karl Franz i have to fix before i feel i can let it out into the world.

That sucks, I really needed a another general so getting a good level one for free would be sick. Oh well, still got a few other shitlands to confederate. Not really digging Empire overall though, none of their units really feel special. Was really looking forward to trying magic out but it's all pretty blah, vortex spells SHOULD be sick but they're impossible to use well, even if you place them well the enemy dodges, ugh. I'd totally boot this white wizard to try a grey one if he wasn't my #1 assassin.

Might do that, tbh I haven't really figured out what steam tanks DO though. Do you put them by the front lines, in the back like regular artillery, way off to the side to be an rear end in a top hat from the flanks without getting mowed down by cavalry? I suppose artillery is the Empire's specialty, they have a good selection, I'm just not very good at utilizing them I suppose. Dwarves were much easier because every single unit was a rock and you could hold a front for days while artillery and archers put the beat down, these spearboys and swordfellows just melt in comparison. What's a good army comp for them for lategame? Chaos and Nords are my primary enemies now. Also side question, what do you do about those 'nothing but chariots' armies, they are real fuckers.

I haven't gotten to ham it up with steam tanks myself yet, but as far as I know the answer is "all of the above and moooore" like a lovely sales commercial.

I wish you could autoresolve quest battles after one legit victory. Especially the dwarf and empire initial easy rear end battles. The empire one sucks bc you have to set up in a forest and in the dwarf one I'm sick of that lame goblin "ambush". Your deployment zone is so far back that they don't even flank you, and then the allied AI copters zoom in and inflict more casualties than the goblins could ever hope to via friendly fire.

You build 4-20 steam tanks and stack them up as a separate support army, then have them reinforce battles and micro them like Shermans. edit: works best if you have Volkmar riding in alongside them on his mobile church because it looks funny.

Steam tanks are like artillery that can also fight like a monster with really high armor.

I keep steam tanks on the flanks. They're artillery you don't need to worry about defending. Once the lines engages, I maneuver them around to get some nice flank shots in. You can move them in really close to take advantage of their steam gun, or just rear-charge with them, as the situation requires. If your army gets wiped, they're generally the last thing standing.

Steam tanks are tougher than God and can tie up incredible amount of dudes in melee, right in front of your crossbows and handguns.

Yeah Steam Tanks kinda own and you should have 2 in every Empire army you field. I'm pretty sure you can just auto calc every siege fight ever with 20 of them. If not, 40.

Because I'm actually running into the exact same problem as the guy I quoted. I confederated Middenland, but I can't actually recruit Boris. I can assign him a position in the imperial court, so he's definitely not dead, but he doesn't show up in the list of available lords for leading armies.

I've gotten him from confederating Middenland in the past. He was alive with an army on the campaign map at the time. Maybe if he is wounded when you confederate then he won't transfer over properly?

The terminology discipline is really lax here and causing confusion. Boris is always alive. He is a Faction Leader so he can't be killed. Unless the faction is destroyed he can only be wounded. "Alive" in this case should really be "not in a wounded state". It's him being wounded at the time of confederation occurs that causes the bug.

Got it. Since he's not a legendary lord I figured he could be killed permanently like any other lord. Didn't realize faction leaders are exempt.

Yeah, every in-game faction (playable or not) has at least one immortal leader that will keep returning. I first noticed it with that rear end in a top hat Emil Von Whatever from Marienburg who kept coming back despite repeated application of the Emperor's justice.
