Apparently the RRoR bug works for regular ol' Fire wizards as well. As long as you have the winds, you to can get in on that hot rat-cookin' action. I'm not ashamed to say I abused it when I got blindsided by a triple-stack of Mazdamundi's Jurassic Park Experience. The modded Dragon Mage I had was a spinning-top of fiery wrath.

I'm having an issue where I'm losing about 25% of my slaves each turn but the slave manager says I should only be losing 1%. Does anyone know what is going on? edit: Looks like it happens when you raid your own province. Wish I noticed that sooner, I'm out at least ten thousands of slaves because of this.

Skaven are actually excellent at defending sieges, just put your slaves in front of the walls to tie the enemy army up in front of your towers

Also for naval units, what if you made it a hero but kept it from going on land somehow? Ports could be used to recruit them, and they'd have outrageously high stats to tilt the autoresolve when you embed them with a sailing lord's army

It's the process of doing things like that which is hard, not the ideas of how to do it. You need to make a new hero/lord recruited differently from the existing ones with different costs and limits and different rules while using the existing UI framework and doesn't just crash the game with no warning or message for what broke. You don't just get to type that paragraph into a xml file and it happens. Modding the existing systems like unit stats or items is very easy in this game which is why those mods come quickly. There's a very full featured framework for all that. Getting down to and changing the systems beneath is where poo poo gets real complicated real fast. It's why the campaign map never got touched by a mod in ~6 different warscape games now. You cannot get to it. Or why minor settlements cannot have more than 4 building slots; it breaks the game in ways that aren't even worth trying to fix. Tl;dr the issue isn't what to do for naval units, it's how to do it with what's available that isn't a complete loving mess that barely functions.

Is a mod that makes it so the armies that spawn when you do a ritual only go after the specific settlements a thing that would be possible? I know you don't have to do the rituals but I'd like to and potentially losing a few settlements each time is pretty annoying. It'd be fine if they gave you the route the armies would take or if it told you where they were going to spawn but as it is, it's really shite.

Just tried this out, it took forever to test. If you let everyone else finish the last ritual and defeat them in battle, it does not end the campaign. If you then destroy the other 3 main factions, it will end the campaign. No cutscene.

I think I will be ignoring all rituals from now on. I am gonna just play like normal, and if I have to fight the last ritual fights it is only 3 times. This way I can still ally with the other main races for what ever.

The +15% upkeep for each new army on Very Hard/Legendary is really dumb. I can live with upkeep being 30% higher in general but the stacking 15% is just stupid.

That's true, but then that's higher difficulty for you. It forces you to deal with all of the game mechanics. There's tech and building upgrades to reduce upkeep, lord traits and skills for it too, strategic map locations for bottlenecking enemy armies, places with landmarks for extra garrison troops, potential for huge trade income (especially with Helves/Lizards), treasure hunts (every skull one is worth 10k gold), hero traits to increase region income and reduce construction costs. Aside from the Helf influence mechanic, it's also possible for all factions to control AI aggro with gold gifts and diplomatic agreements, while hero actions against hated factions also provides lots of positive diplo.

speaking of treasure hunts, has anyone found a reason to explore ruins for treasure? when the army doing it is costing 3-10k per turn or is a lone general upping everything by 15% it hardly feels like you got the turn to waste and should just settle the place unless your ending your turn near a ruin you don't intend to settle. If you could send a hero unit in to do it that would be fine for the upkeep and opportunity cost.

Because of the brutal slugout I am in with Krog-Gar in my Queek game I have largely forgotten to look for treasure. (Cause I need all my forces near me.) I am somthing like 80 turns in have 2 rituals down, allied with Clan Pestilens. Yet my lack of skill has prevented me from defeating Krog-Gar. I am near dead even with him and even when I do beat his big nasty stacks I gennerally have lost several of my own stacks and am too weakened to finish him off forcing one of us to offer peace to rebuild.

Best results I've gotten from treasure hunts were 20% research for 5 turns, 750g or a couple turns worth of ritual currency with some major penalties for choosing wrong.

Treasure hunting is just half-baked in genral. Either the size/cost of the army should affect things, or armies should be cut of the process entirely and only heroes should be allowed to hunt treasure.
