How DO you beat Wood Elves as the Beastmen? I had to restart my Beastmen campaign the first couple of times getting spanked by the Wood Elves until I remembered i could just Beast Path around them and pick on the humans.

Mans posted:lmao on facebook a dude asked CA to give her boob armor and CA told him to gently caress off (politely) Indeed, that's the speciality of Morathi and the Witch Elves after all, and they can't let anyone else muscle in on their turf. There's probably going to be an inevitable boob armour mod anyway. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

It's a fluff thing that elves don't get Full Plate armor like Empire, Dwarves, and Chaos because their armor includes too many little frills and ornamentation to be quite as protective. Elves will literally die for fashion before they compromise and I can respect that ridiculousness.

Surprise Giraffe posted:Are empire lords melee superhumans in tt hams like in total war? I think it would be cool if they were lower powered individually but could have an honour guard/ join a unit like in dow. Make em a little different They're still good fighters but nowhere near how they are in the TWW. Most characters will join units to protect them, and Empire captains are taken more for leadership. They get special buffs that synergize with Empire's brain-over-brawn playstyle, basically they amplify the standard leadership buffs that generals and characters provide. Warrior Priests buff the unit offensively instead. Generals and Arch Lectors are similar but moreso and then there was a Knight Grandmaster lord who was a normal general in terms of leadership but better at fighting. IIRC an Empire Captain had more or less the same stats as a generic chaos warrior but an extra wound so he couldn't be one-hit killed. Empire had some good items though, like a magic mirror where if you challenge an enemy character to a duel and they accept, you swap stats with them. Chaos was forced to accept challenges so that was a great way to murder a chaos lord with your battlepope.

How do I play the main campaign as Orion? You only have 1 province and no good way to make money or expand.

Should have an option for him to just launch off the mammoth into melee for a massive morale/damage boost for all your marauders as they get pumped up watching it.

Ragingsheep posted:How do I play the main campaign as Orion? You only have 1 province and no good way to make money or expand. Make sure to to build the grapevine building in your capital early on, possibly as your very first investment. That one gives you a major money boost right away. Combined with the WElves' very good units, that should be enough to knock out Carcassonne right away, though you can also just circumvent them if you feel like it. Your capital has such a good garrison that you don't really need to bother to babysit it early on. You'll generally find some Beastmen roaming around in Carcassonne, near the start they should be weak enough that you can knock them out easily for some early XP and a bit of a cash infusion. Once that's done with, the coast to the south is a pretty ripe target. It can be tough to take over their capitals, but even the minor settlements are already a great take. That's because one Wood Elf Tech, the one near the very top of the tree, boosts your income from ports by 400%. If you have that and nab a few coastal cities from the Bretonnians and/or the Estalians, you should have easily enough income to finance whatever you feel like doing next. Also keep in mind that Wood Elves are kind of horde-y and don't really need to expand in the same way that the traditional factions do. If you stall out with your conquering then just send a stack somewhere deep into the Empire or wherever and start loving up whoever you don't like the look of. That'll give you a whole lot of money through looting and should allow you to renew your other offensives. It'll also give you a solid reputation bump with the enemies of whoever you're killing, and gaining defensive alliances for amber is just as good as conquering stuff for yourself.

Ragingsheep posted:How do I play the main campaign as Orion? You only have 1 province and no good way to make money or expand. Expand by killing off your two elf neighbors but wait until you can confederate Argwylon, otherwise you don't get Durthu/king treeman. If you are unwilling to do that then yes, your money and expansion opportunities will be limited to weaker neighboring factions, try to pick on Skarsnik before he becomes too dangerous.

I find starting Orion way easier than anywhere else as if he gets boxed in his province is good enough to turtle up in for ages. Tried Bordeaux and I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Playing Couronne and not sure what to do next. I've weathered the 20 turns of Orc incursions , focused on growing my starting province and diplomatic options. I'm stuck with one stack of 17 units and can't get an army strong enough to take Mousillon or Marienburg without going way over my peasant limit. Do you basically have to say gently caress it for a while until you get more cities?

About half-way through my Empire campaign, I feel like they develop faster than dwarves did. Also love all the unique buildings all the provinces get. Some unexpected developments is the Dwarves got facerolled by Grimgor (though thankfully he hasn't come North yet), and Kislev hasn't fallen apart after the Chaos Warriors appeared.

One of the greatest tricks in this game is to go gently caress it and and temporarily buy an army you can't sustain to smash an enemy castle then to get rid of the excess troops afterwards

Ragingsheep posted:How do I play the main campaign as Orion? You only have 1 province and no good way to make money or expand. Expansion is not as important as it is for most other factions. New provinces serve little function other than amber (which, yes, is important) neat little boosts. However, elves get a massive pile of cash for razing. Don't be scared to raze a settlement, you can always occupy it later. A good method is to raze a high level settlement, leave, wait for the owner to take it back, then conquer it so you don't have to pay the seeding cost. Keep in mind that you do need amber, and that province capitals give you double. However, tons of early amber will give you nothing. Choose to settle over razing when you have a specific goal in mid, such as a specific tech that requires amber, upgrading the tree/home, or even if the location you want to occupy is just a strategically sound outpost.

If the Norsca can have actual settlements, and not just raze everything, then maybe the Empire AI will survive longer because it'll have something to recapture! Naaaaaaah.

Fire gets good direct damage and buffs, Life gets healing and decent direct damage, Death is fantastic at damage, Light gets one good spell (but its a really good one) etc. Also they have slightly different combat stats too. I know for a while Wizards with the Lore of the Wild were popular in MP because they were good in combat even though their spells are lackluster.
