Vriess posted:Grimgor is fine though. Because honestly, why wouldn't you pick Grimgor? There aren't really alot of other choices either. Grom the Paunch, Gorfang Rotgut, Morglum Necksnapper, Gorbad Ironclaw. Grom is a huge fat goblin who rides a chariot, Morglum is a dual wielding Black Orc, Gorfang had terrible acne and Gorbad was the generic "Greatest Warboss in history" until Grimgor. Morglum and Grom could work with appropriate gimmicks probably.

Beastmen don't ambush like that. Their normal move/attack stance is 'Ambush Stance' and any time you trigger a battle there's a chance it'll be an ambush. It's great.

fnordcircle posted:All I'm reading from that CA update is "Game 2 is going to take longer than we thought so we're gonna come out with more DLC now." Nah, they're blatantly announcing Game 2 in two weeks and the DLC team is already working on that game. It's not that far out. Considering they recently outright purchased and absorbed a Bulgarian Dev studio it's more likely they've beefed up their staffing so they can develop even more DLC simultaneously.

Hello friends, here again with another Overhaul Mod, this time for the Empire with Sons of Sigmar: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885529832 This mod makes a few quality of life changes to Offices, Technologies and some of the Lords. Short rundown: Technology turncost have been reduced, 6 for basic stuff, 8 for the rest. A new technology as been added, tied to the tier 3 Barracks, giving some minor but juicy Melee Attack and Defence to Greatswords. Karl Franz is easier to unlock, all you gotta do is claim Reikland. Hes got a new unique skill, giving him some diplomatic bonuses to empire, dwarf and bretonnian factions. Gelt has 3 new unique skills, theese are originally from Kaza, a goon here on the forums. Ive changed some of them up a bit and raised their required levels. Offices, besides treasurer, have all been touched in some way, from minor to a bit more major (looking at you Reiksmarshal).

Sigvald's characterization in the tabletop runs more to being Slaanesh's favorite spoiled brat who's as likely to take his army halfway across the world to burn down a winery who produced a bottle Sigvald sampled and didn't like as he is to burn down Kislev.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Are there people like Sigvald for Nurgle? Nurgle has a number of candidates: Vilitch the Curseling, Festus Leechlord, the Glottkin, or Valnir the Reaper. I'd think Festus the Leechlord is the most likely - he's a dedicated caster lord, specialized in healing friends and debuffing foes. By backstory and personality he's a doctor who sold his soul to Nurgle for the cure to an uncurable disease, and these days is a cackling mad scientist-sorcerer.

Speaking of mods, I'm normally not a huge mod guy, but for the love of god please tell me there's a mod to make the norse assholes not make armies full of chariots like the assholes they are like gently caress it, I'll make armies full of steam tanks and steamroll their loving whole civilization this campaign, but I don't want to do it every game. Those chariots are so loving stupid. Empire lategame is such a slog, you basically have to deal with the entire chaos / norse fuckfest by yourself.

Alright my final rambling thoughts on Radious: 1) Everyone gets a lot more income, and can field more armies even with just the starter territories. Because of this, things are a lot more aggressive and factions start getting nuked after about 10 turns or so. This is pretty much the only reason I'd recommend trying it out, as with those extra stacks it feels like the AI is more willing to range far outside its territory, and attack the badlands or norsca and so on. It also bumps up some of the weaker factions; those orcs by brettonia smashed both them and marienberg in one game (in the others they still died pretty quickly) 2) There's about 4-5 versions of every type of unit, each one being a bit better than the last, sorta. The base units are all basically tier 1 for that respective role. I had a lot of trouble telling whether an armored swordsman was better than veteran swordsman or a drakwald swordsman or one of the other types. Factions have units that cover their previous weaknesses, making things pretty simplistic (orcs just build spear boys for cav, undead just build skelly archers etc etc). Flavor-wise it's all right but there's no RoR so you can recruit everything everywhere you have the buildings. That said there are some cool units like long rifles with crazy range. ALSO certain mercenary units can be recruited over and over. 3) For some reason Varg and Skaeling get a variety of redundant heavily armored nearly unbreakable units, which makes them a bitch to fight. I had a lot more trouble with them than I did chaos proper. 4) The vampires go loving crazy, I had them show up at Reikland three turns after I unified it. 5) No confederations, double leader skillpoints, human minors have the 'passive' tag removed. 6) Battles in general are a little slower, but still nothing near something like RTR So to sum it up it's worth a try but once the newness wears off it's pretty unremarkable Chomp8645 posted:I only know one of them (Valkia) but between her and the self-explanatory term "sisters" I think the gimmick is that they are all female. I don't remember anyone being upset about Isabella or the Fey Enchantress though so idk what he's on about. People did get upset about Isabella, but that pretty much disappeared the next day when they showed the Von Carstein faction

Night10194 posted:Why would people get upset about Isabella? The Von Carstein family is as much a reflection of her as Vlad. People were briefly mad about Isabella because they wanted her to be a Legendary Hero instead of a Lord, basically. Then the actual preview came out and she was super cool and part of a new faction so no one gave a poo poo about the hero thing anymore. In general though most of the Female Warhammer characters have a ton of fans pushing for them to be included even on the official forums so I don't really understand the suggestion that adding a bunch of popular female characters would be anything but enthusiastically received. Warhammer grogs are not history grogs, ultimately. madmac fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Fangz posted:If you don't want to deal with the norsca by yourself, ally instead of confederate with those imperial minors. I WAS friends with marienburg all game then he tried to gently caress me over. I tried to be friendly with every drat minor noble for the first like hundred turns and only killed the ones that were starting poo poo but nobody ever did poo poo. I killed the vampires myself, dealt with skarsnik myself, killed like every single beastman that spawned in the whole empire lands, they did jack poo poo except constantly decline to trade with me and occasionally pull me into wars with the dwarves who I didn't want to fight. By the time chaos showed up they all got their stupid asses killed and half the lands were just ruins and chaos basically rolled up on me uncontested. If I ever do Empire again (probably won't, don't like em much) I'd just go full killdozer on states one at a time instead of trying to play nice, and leave vampires until later. The problem with Empire strategically is there's basically enemies on all sides, all the time. The minor dwarves nearby were assholes all game, there were basically always humans trying to start poo poo, the vampires will give you poo poo non-stop if you get anywhere near them, I even had goddamn greenskins wandering up past the border princes for some reason, beastmen just spawn in your poo poo just because (though everyone has to deal with that), and of course the norsca because gently caress you. In comparison as the dwarves you only have to deal with orcs, who spend as much time fighting each other as they do you, and you start with several nearby allies who are plenty helpful, while all the empire minor factions are just watching hoping you die. Half the dudes I confederated had lords that seemed to be levelled only on the afk-sitting-in-base exp. At least the wood elves left me alone, though I wish they had helpfully invaded the norsca lands like they did on my dwarf campaign.

I've learned to never, ever go full military alliance with an AI faction. Stop at Defensive, that way they don't get ideas. If one of those dwarf factions to the west is constantly asking to upgrade to a full alliance, it's because they want to attack someone with your help and force you to break one of your treaties. gently caress them, they can sit in their holds and give me trade income like good little components of my hegemony.

Agreed. The more comitted you get, the more you get dragged into their bullshit. Also those fuckers you are trying to absorb via confederation will only do it if they are about to get their poo poo kicked in and god help you if you agree to confederating just because it suddenly went 'green' before seeing that huge doomstack sieging one of their frontier settlements  . Doubly so if you're Dwarves and end up with like 5 grudges for your trouble.

I like getting into those WW1 style alliances where a minor member like Karak Norn gets attacked by a vampire and 15 factions declare war on him.

MilitantBlackGuy posted:You are the best Gejnor, this sounds great. Thank you thank you! And uuh well it could be done but its not only done for Volkmar in Mind, even though the title's about the same, also the offices all follow a rank system set by CA. Theres two level 1's, two level 5's and two level 10's. Ive tried to keep their bonuses with that in mind so that they become better the higher level they are (though i will admit that Supreme Patriarch is still a bit lackluster in comparison, but at the same time i feel adding more would make it too strong). Arch Lector is a level 5 office and renaming it to Grand Theogonist feels like it should be stronger somehow, and that sort of disrupts the flow established by CA. I really just wanted to make the offices better, not change them entirely, to reflect on changes and the bonuses that DLC's have brought to the forefront. In this case i looked at the Wood Elves offices, and though i didn't go as far as they do, as they are unlocked by building stuff too so thats an extra requirement, while all of the empire ones are available as soon as you have a lord with the proper rank. Oh, i also gave a small bonus to the Emperor "office", it had nothing and that felt a bit meh, especially considering the closest thing to it is Orion, who gets a +20% sack/raze income bonus. Karl gets a sweet little -10% recruitment cost to his army instead. Gejnor fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Thats what Karl's new unique skill "Statesman" does, +10 Diplomatic Relations to Empire, Bretonnia and Dwarfs. I also baked in two other +10 to Empire factions diplomatic bonuses into some existing techs, so the empire can get a bonus of +30 diplomatic relations with Empire factions.

Neat trick with Bretonnian factions: do your best to have multiple Lords reinforcing a battle. This is a trait trigger for Saviour, a trait that gives a 10% charge and speed bonus to the reinforcing Lord's entire army, which totally rules for all the cavalry you're using.

Yeah just hire another army, either a life wizard or melee hero depending on which ll you are, on the first turn and use them to punching bag the orcs along with your main stack. you end up getting two big lords, each with great traits for winning fights, saving each other, and being in low public order provinces. i fire all but the essential units so you can get your economy going and the fights are actually a bit challenging too
