Have the Dark Elves been dominating the ritual race for anybody else? In every single campaign I've played they end up significantly ahead by turn 100 or so if I don't deal with them. I'm Teclis in my current playthrough and Malekith has actually almost entirely taken Ulthuan by turn 130 or so- it really looks like autoresolve loves them something fierce.

Tyrion confederates Ulthuan by turn 75 or 100 then grabs Loremasters and turtles.

Gonkish posted:Weird, the game just straight-up crashes all of a sudden, even with every single mod disabled. I also tried outright deleting the mods I had installed, to ensure they weren't still being loaded by the game, and it STILL crashes as soon as I try to load into a campaign or custom battle. Not sure what's going on. Is there an update for your graphics drivers available?

In my HE game I'm ready start the second to last ritual, and the only other faction that has even started the previous ritual was DE. And that couldn't be allowed to happen, of course. Getting the two waystone sites on Ulthuan early, to the north and south, gave me a very significant advantage.

As someone who doesn't know too much about the lore or tabletop, looking at game 3's likely faction list sounds depressing, it's got two Chaos factions and I really don't find them cool, especially after batshit insane ratmen and dinosaurs. I just hope the Ogre Kingdoms are cool. Unironic grimdark factions are the worst.

T4s definitely aren't needed as much as 1, they slimmed the trees down. Only a couple buildings out there that really benefit from it, but it's not that hard to make (okay the garrison parts really suck since it's an entry per unit per factionbut I'm mostly pass that). Don't mind keeping it going. Still haven't fully decided if I just want to add walls directly to the buildings this time around, still leaning no. Also stilll thinking about naval combat additions and probably rite stuff for ME but gonna wait for ME first.

I still don't understand why people get so angry about people cheating in single player games. If it makes the game more enjoyable for you, then do it! Don't listen to uptight people who think their way to play the game is the only way!

I really can not think of a time when this has ever happened. The closest thing I can remember is x-com 1 having a bug that after the first day set the game to easy so when they made terror from the depth, the devs had made the game much more difficult.

Raygereio posted:I'm using Win10pro with the latest update and can load both the campaign and the battle map fine. So the main cause is probably something else. Yeah, I grabbed the latest version of the Radeon drivers and outright nuked the ones I had installed with DDU. That didn't fix it, I still can't load into campaigns or custom battles at all. It loads up to 50% and dumps me back to desktop. It seems a lot of people are having this issue, but there's no consistent answer for it. Some have said uninstalling a security update fixes it, some have said reinstalling steam AND the game have fixed it, some have said updating drivers has fixed it... and yet literally every one of those answers has multiple people saying it did nothing. So I don't know what to believe. EDIT: Alright, so I tried nuking my Steam install, since that's nice and easy, and it seems to have worked. I can load into custom battles where just a few minutes ago that was impossible. Gonkish fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Oct 22, 2017 |

New Butt Order posted:I've literally never done anything to intentionally gain or lose loyalty and don't even know what causes it and I've beaten both Skaven and Delf campaigns without a single general turning against me. I think it can be safely ignored. I had two Grey Seers rebel a turn or two after hiring them on my Hard Queek campaign. I guess it makes sense with his loyalty penalty, but I wanted more caster lords. Luckily they hadn't had the chance to recruit more than a few units so they just wandered to one of my settlements and killed themselves on the garrison.

Thoughts on War Hydras versus Black Dragons for Dark Elf monster support? I've been ignoring these things in the campaign so far, but it's about time to invade Ulthuan or go punch a dinosaur, and I'd like to start throwing in some monsters. What are the use-cases for these things? The stats on the dragon seem objectively better, but I've seen mention here and there for hydras being "the perfect monster" without much explanation as to why.

It's really hard to kill, does a fair bit of damage, scares the poo poo out of enemy units, and the fire breath is a wrecking ball.

Kestral posted:Thoughts on War Hydras versus Black Dragons for Dark Elf monster support? The dragon has some more offensive impact, but the Hydra has quite a bit more staying power. It's got more HP, and absolutely ludicrous regeneration. Those two combined can give it about twice the longevity as the dragon. Also, situationally the Hydra's breath can have more impact, since its flatter trajectory from the ground can let it burn through several units at once. Of course with the flip side that it's more difficult to disengage and properly position it to actually get the breath off in the first place. Basically, take both. The dragon is great for diving in and killing priority targets very quickly. The Hydra is more for just slamming right into the enemy front line and loving poo poo up all day long without pause.

Dragons are better if you need to catch something that is flying. But you will be out dragoned and the enemy has a lot of archers. Hydras are overall more useful as they have regen and are giant tar pit monsters. Flying monsters also tend to have a pathing issue with charging.

One thing about the Hydra that probably doesnt matter in SP but might in MP is that it has a weakness to fire like all regen units, so a couple dragon's breaths can gently caress it right up to the point of shattering before contact. I prefer Dragons since flying is a gigantic advantage in sieges, but both are very, very good monsters.

I was playing a Queek campaign and just realised Nagash's pyramid is insane. For vampires it gives 54 vampiric corruption and 27 in adjacent provinces, and as an added gently caress you to Kroq-gar it's adjacent to his home province because of some pointless little twist of mountains that could just as easily have been put in the orc/dwarf province. Hopefully they do something a bit saner with it when tomb kings comes out.

If the Hydra could not attack in any way and solely existed to use its breath 3 times, it would still probably be worth it. If you take the time to line that thing up properly against a nasty enemy target, it is absurd. Dragon breath can't compare. I think the Hydra is my favorite single-model monster in either Warhammer game.Dandywalken posted:Is the Hellpit Abomination underpowered? That Melee Skill really hurts it it seems. Seems like complete trash in my experience. Squishy, doesn't get many kills, and its lame bonus only (sometimes) activates when it dies.

Ogres are cool and fun. Chaos dwarfs are not as bad as they might seem, since they’re cheesy old 90s Warhammer with absurd hats and skulls on everything to the point of parody. Demons of chaos are pretty lame and we’re absolute bullshit on the tabletop

Hell pits are garbage against infantry, you need to make use of their anti-large for them to be worthwhile. They're apparently really good against large single model units, their damage being 70% armor piercing is probably a big part of that.

I am playing radious mod, helfs and defls are the only one with extra units atm, and in vanilla it is like 75-100 turns for helfs to confederate and go agressive. But with radious it is turn 73 and they already have 1/3 of north america and all of ulthwan.
