Surtha Ek rides again It's so weird that this campaign is a big step forward in some ways but we lost an entire substantial patch worth of changes and we're fighting hordes of Marauder Horsemen again

Is there a way to get rid of poo poo traits? Kroq gar got chain blocked in a vamp province and now has tier 2 bloodlust. Also gently caress agents. Just remove them from the map CA.

Hover over the higher one (which is the 'neutral' level of colour-coding) and it'll say to spend time in untainted regions to lose the trait.

only recently started up a game as Malekith to see how unifying as opposed to burning notcanada to the ground was, and his quest text is just utterly delightful who's mommy's sulky little angel, whose response to a coven of sorceresses being cryptic at him is to burn a city to the ground and then say "you wanna give answering me another try there, wizardtits?"

Holy poo poo, Malekith's start is actually fairly difficult in ME. You're at war with the Skaven that have the three ruins in your starter province, AND Hag Graef. Hag Graef are huge assholes who will never make peace with you, and meanwhile you're most likely going to get hellmarched by the Mung, because, again, Hag Graef are assholes and 99% of the time will drag them into war with you. So you bounce Malekith around, trying to unite your province, deal with endless loving rebellions (because Dark Elves are edgy fucks who never stop rebelling), protect your southern border from Hag Graef being asswipes, try to knock out the Mung up north (they only have two cities), all while desperately trying to improve your economy and recruit new units to replace your losses. You're just constantly bouncing from emergency to emergency, and meanwhile Ghrond and Har Ganeth are getting facerolled by the Aghol for the billionth time, losing territory like mad, and SURPRISE the Aghol just declared war on you, so there's ANOTHER front for you to deal with. Oh yeah, and Hag Graef are being dicks again. Shocker. It's actually really fun.

Archonex posted:Edit: Also, Ghorst is pretty good now. That 20% casualty replenishment rate for the entire faction was okay compared to lords that were added in later on like Vlad and Isabella. However now that there's a massive map it basically makes him an expedition running machine since with a bit of work you can send armies overseas to raid temples and such for insane amounts of loot without having to worry about them getting worn down or having to take a province and start an extra war to have a place to fall back too to heal up at. Do these actually help you? iirc, +replenishment stuff was kinda crap because it only worked if you were in your territory (not in allied territory and not in encampment stance). There were only a small handful of exceptions, like the beastmen moon event.

Really couldn't be bothered with playing the Vortex Campaign on anything tougher than very hard, and thought I'd cheese Mortal Empires by playing Brettonians on legendary. It now takes 2000 chivalry to trigger the final battle, they messed with the income so I'm always poor and High Elves are basically psychotic.

Archonex posted:Dwarves also got a bunch of new strategic locations on top of all the other old world factions getting them. Zhufbar for instance has at least one special building they can build in Karag Dromar. The special building in Karag Dromar is Bugman's Brewery. Going by the version they had put into the Vortex campaign as an easter egg, it produces a gigantic amount of beer (100 kegs IIRC), gives a big local public order bonus, local experience and recruitment cost buffs for all Ranger variants, factionwide upkeep reduction for Rangers and a factionwide construction cost discount and lower construction times for the hostelry building chain. LordAbaddon posted:Really? I thought crumbling was identical to routing except that instead of running away the units just disintegrated Full rapid disintegration happens at the point non-undead units would shatter completely. The undead equivalent to routing is slow crumbling, which means DoT kinda comparable to being in range of a Mortis Engine. However, other units crumbling doesn't impact morale the way routing units do afaik, only army losses.

Though crumbling losses do add up to total battle losses so you still do have some effect of killing everyone spreading to other units, just nowhere near as noticeably as morale. I think I'm starting incredibly slowly as Queek. I allied with both undead on either side of me and purged the Orcs to the south leaving me with no easy expansion and a generally slow start. Its turn 50 and I only have two full provinces and two armies, though they're getting up to speed as far as artillery goes. I'm at t4 so just started recruiting some Lightning Cannon. Also, good goddamn are Engineers great. All of the engineer buffs to your ranged fire, plus block army, plus steal tech, PLUS extra movement? That's pretty much the absolute best you could hope for in a single agent.

It's weird. The Southlands cuts don't bother me, the Southlands sucked, and nothing down there mattered anyways. We kept Zorn at least. The Ulthuan shrinking made sense. Having it stuck between continents helps with sailing nonsense. Lustria? Whatever, it was lovely islands anyways. WHERE THE gently caress IS MY WESTERN NORTH AMERICA. WHERE DID IT GO. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

It removes a ton of conquerable territory for Malkeith and Morathi. I can only imagine it getting worse once other Dark Elf Lords start getting added considering at least two of them are based in the same area if not more. e:I think the main issue is that it makes Naggaroth a lot more crowded than it is in the vortex campaign AnEdgelord fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Oct 27, 2017 |

Aurubin posted:Everything past the Evil Rockies was literally a wasteland, I'm curious why you mourn it. I have no idea! I hated that area in my Malekith campaign, it was awful and full of stuff I couldn't do much with. I think it was just less defined? Like Lustria was cut by the mountain boundaries. Southlands was cut by the desert boundaries, Malekiths area was cut straight through the middle, and it's really noticeable upfront because you start right next to the new edge. I dunno!

Removing the settlement type restrictions has really let the AI do strange things. 50 turns into an Ungrim game and both Karak Kadrin and Border Princes have gone buck wild, with the former a 10 settlement beast that has taken all of the Vampire lands except Castle Drakenhof and the later with 12 settlements including all of the former lands of the various minor Orc and Dwarf tribes in the mountains near them (Karak Hirn, Black Widows, Venom whatevers).

Welp, I tried all that and game is still hosed. Guess I'll have to wait for a hotfix? All the game does is load up the very first loading screen, say Sega, and then freeze in place. No amount of verifying files or reinstalling has changed that behavior. Before the Mortal Empires patch the game ran perfectly fine, 40 hours logged, no mods used, nothin'.

Anyone else getting extreme FPS loss when the fighting starts while fielding A LOT of skaven in Mortal Empires? My game goes from steady 60 fps to ca 10 fps when the fighting starts with 1 full mixed units skaven army and 1 full stack of skavenslaves + the enemy army. Which sounds like A BUTTLOAD OF SKAVEN cause it is, but i didn't get any fps loss doing the exact same thing in the Vortex campaign.
