Corsairs have 80 armour, they're great against any army that doesn't have tons of cheap ranged AP. Against other Dark elves they suck

StashAugustine posted:Technically R2 was when they first introduced HP, but R2 and Attila tended to have lower HP per unit Attila also tended to have much higher numbers for damage than the Warhammer games. Like it was not uncommon for a shock cav to have 100+ charge bonus, while in TWW, it's more like 30-40. Javelins in Attila were also insanely lethal, again 100+ missile damage, lots of AP. I don't think I've seen any non-artillery missile damage in WH above 30. R2 and Attila also had more models per unit, though, which also contributed to the general body count. On Ultra in WH2 with Skaven, your biggest units are going to max out at 160 models and most other armies are half that. R2/Attila had pretty consistent unit sizes of 200 people for standard infantry.

Can someone explain in a straightforward way how power reserves work? I think given the explanations I've read that your reserves feed into your main power pool over the course of a battle. So if you start a fight with 8 power and a reserve of 20 you could potentially get up to 28 total power (assuming you weren't casting spells) but once you run out of reserves that's it. Is that right?

yes gambling just determines how much of your total power you start with. The map will have strong/weak winds which also determines reserves

Also generally the higher your power reserve, the faster your actual winds recharge (using the reserves to charge). Some abilities like Arcane Conduit can temporarily speed up the charging.

hot date tonight! posted:I'm definitely not good enough at the battles to knock out two full stacks with a maxed minor settlement's garrison against mid to late game units, but I guess there's only one way to learn Even if you don't win (and winning with minor settlement garrisons is tricky later on when the chaos/skaven stacks start getting gold chevron top tier troops) so can you usually still hurt them enough that the next settlement battle will kill them off.

Yeah when activating rituals you have to be okay with losing a settlement or two. Walled settlements will still usually take two stacks to breach and if you fight well you can generally gently caress em up enough that they'll have a little trouble with the next one. I haven't seen intervention armies encamp at all.

StashAugustine posted:I haven't seen intervention armies encamp at all. Yep. Deploying them against Morathi is even more of a crapshoot than usual, because they just harmlessly die to attrition if they don't yield any results within the first two turns of being active.

If you are an elf would you really call them "elfservants"? Wouldn't they just be servants? Do they call everything "elfsomething"? Do they have elfbuilders and elfcaterers and elfspikemakers?

Among many other things, I wish the campaign layer AI was smarter about starting rituals. Both campaigns I've played so far at least one faction failure spiral'd itself into complete obsolescence by repeatedly starting rituals they can't possibly finish and losing more and more settlements every time. They eventually stop, but I'm assume it's due to requiring a minimum of 3 provincial capitals to start a ritual or something like that.

Well, I do. A manservant doesn't have to be a man, it's a servant for a man. Therefore, an elfservant doesn't necessarily have to be an elf. It's just a servant who is trained to properly cater to an elf.

It's funny how the description for DE corsairs describes them as designed for fighting in a ship's rigging meanwhile their armor has all these spiky bits that would get horribly snagged on every rope, sail, railing, and giblets along the way.

Pierson posted:Lizardmen playas how do you use Temple Guards? Get rid of your old Saurus and use them as your new front-line, or did you find a new purpose for them? Far too expensive for what they provide. Kroq'gar's saurus upkeep reduction doesn't apply to them, I just use kroxigors and giant dinos instead for my armies' AP with the bonus of disrupting enemy formations. Defensively you get them automatically as part of tier V walls and settlement capitals, and in that role they're perfect. Ammanas posted:Did CA reintroduce the reinforcement bug?

Might just be even more noticeable now, what with the occasionally better garrisons. It is not fun having to deal with High Elf colonies when their garrison comes in behind you, along with whatever was in the actual army - the garrisons can have something like 8 shielded Seaguard plus additional archers and 1-2 bolt throwers, along with some other stuff.

So I can take my sweet time because the rituals can be aborted by just a small army, right? I hated rushing in TW1 and never fielding high tier troops until I was big enough that I had no problem just rolling over everyone.
