Chaos and VC can also reasonably win an air war considering how good and cost effective Manticores/Vampires are if you want to invest in them. For Beastmen, I like to bring some Ungor Raiders to pressure any flying jerks so they can't constantly just poke around. Also Centigors absolutely wreck face.

I've never fought a manticore in all my campaigns. Chaos does, however, field an incredible amount of chariots.

vintagepurple posted:Ultimately this is it, you're allowed to dunk on yourself, not on others. That's why british devs get chuckles when they make not-Britain a savage backwater, but weird looks when they make not-Africa a savage backwater, and so on. I feel like maybe you non Brits don't get Brit humour We joke about everyone. It's our way.

dogstile posted:I feel like maybe you non Brits don't get Brit humour I'm British and think vintagepurple is hitting the nail on the head there, is this because I don't get British humour? I don't think there's anything wrong with identifying this stuff, it's not like anyone's said gently caress THIS GAME/SETTING over it. jokes posted:Aspiring Champions are at least cool units to fight. I don't want to fight horsemasters at all. Oh god, same. Although at this point I'd possibly prefer them to the chariot spam. Anyway I've just started another Beastmen campaign for the first time since Morghur was added because I wanted to give him a go. His ability to summon chaos spawn and kill low-health enemy units at the same time is really great, I love using it so much.

I keep trying to play the Bretonnia campaign but within 30-35 turns I'm always invaded by 3 full stack Mousillon armies. What's the deal with that?

ZearothK posted:I've been using Minos' Better AI mod (with Vanilla cheats) which makes the AI behave in a much more player-like manner, plus Mogar's Militias which adds units based on what buildings a settlement has to mix up the garrison forces and make settlements harder to take both for the player and AI. It has given a breath of fresh air and made the campaign considerably more challenging for a longer time. Doesn't fix your valid complaints, but might help! Definitely going to try these out, thank you!

Vampires can make huge armies of skeletons and zombies like its nothing. Mousillon also seems to like to keep its forces close to each other and their capital so they can reinforce each other. Seems to me like you need to bring some serious hurt to take down Mousillon as their numbers can overwhelm you.

I wish Mousillon did that poo poo in my Bretonia game, I was looking forward to fighting them. Instead they got dog piled by an alliance of two Bretonian factions AND a Beastmen horde before turn 30.

So playing a campaign as the Empire, and currently I'm stacking all my heroes +1 lord that have any bonuses to income in Marienberg. Is this pretty much optimal or should I be spreading them out? To be clear, without bonuses Marienberg province makes the most money.

It's nice to have at least a couple heroes doing this at Altdorf too because it can make a ton of money as well, even if it's not quite as many as Marienburg.

Thanks for the quick reply. Also, I hadn't considered that Reikland is a 4 region province and the Wasteland is only two, so perhaps I should deploy a few that way.

The Wasteland should honestly just be walls and +income and a single barracks, since 90% of Norscans will invade through the wastelands. Crossbows and swords and spears will be able to defend against any norscan army if they're behind walls, and usually can defend against 2-3 armies.

You don't lose the campaign by losing your last settlement, right? Aiming to do a Skarsnik run now, and I don't want to linger in the Grey Mountains for long.

Drunk in Space posted:Wouldn't naval stuff fall under the Man O' War license? There are naval unit cards/stats in the game files. They seem to have opted not to include naval stuff so far due to time/gameplay reasons. If it were a question of licensing, I imagine they wouldn't have done any work at all on naval units.

BadOptics posted:Someone do a Chaos LP. Ive considered it. My Chaos campaign was really wild and had alot of Valiant Defeat/Heroic Victory screens. At one point I was at war with the Dwarves, Welves, Vampire Counts, Von Carsteins, Empire, and Greenskins all at once. They chased my rear end up and down the map while I burned down everything I could. Eventually I was cornered but it was LP worthy.
