Dongattack posted:Do you guys build armies tailor made to counter the race you are sending them against when playing the campaign? Just curious really. I've always made one "THIS SHOULD BEAT ALL" army template. It's generally not a great idea to try to get too specific with armies you build in campaign if only because reforming them to fight a new faction is time and cash intensive and you never know when you're going to ride into a surprise Beastmen horde or Surtha Ek Stunt Show. It's not a bad idea to tweak things a bit if you have the luxury of doing so and know exactly what you're up against, but all-rounders armies are just often the best choice strategically. There's also always a chance that the AI will build an army so stupid that they accidentally counter-pick your attempt to counter-pick them

How do you guys deal with AOE spells of enemy lords? I'm playing as maliketh on easy and in some battles there's a dude who shoots green lightning from the sky that destroys my army

You can dodge them mostly. There is typically a glowy effect before the spell actually goes off. e: Be mindful when forming up your army and unit ranks also. Square blocks of troops are often better in combat, but longer/thinner ranks are good for avoiding missile fire and blocking choke points.

I don't suppose there's a mod that consolidates the brothers elf, or just gives one knowledge of the other for a forced early confederation? I wouldn't mind trying to juggle both the home and away theatres.

So in this VC game everything south of Karaz-a-Karak is dwarven aside from a few holdouts of Kroq'gar. As soon as Chaos showed up in force the Dark Elves went ahead and conquered Norsca. The Empire focused on resettling territory lost to Chaos rather than fighting them and so I pounced on them and they're now out of territory entirely, with just Gelt running away. Kislev is still alive and kicking, though I'll be fixing that soon. Everything west of Middenheim in the old world is hippy forest elven bullshit, with the exception of a large chunk of Bretonnia which Mousillon conquered (and then I confederated). Chaos is still roaming around somewhere, but they're not really a credible threat. The doomstacks actually engage someone other than the player with this mod, so they've been picked apart, and Archaon got chumped as is usual for him. There's a half stack of spiky edgelords wandering around somewhere, brooding. The dwarves really are the biggest threat to the world at this point. Their territory is obscenely huge, and even when they were faced with multiple opponents across multiple fronts the game still favors them. If/when they decide to try to murder me, I'm sure to drown in a pile of bearded midgets.

Helion posted:I can’t speak for the Dwarves, but so far I am literally encountering smoking ruins and fragmented empires. Even if it is, do they know what to do with their power? Or do they just throw armies at you piecemeal, never attacking your home base, basically lambs to the slaughter? They will bee swarm you if you make an aggressive move(fighting a Chaos Doom Tide swarm except they're dwarfs is certainly interesting), but the situations I've dealt with it have consisted of me invading them rather than them invading me, so they spend all their resources trying to stop me instead of invading me. sassassin posted:I published my cheat mod that makes the game 100x better.

In my chaos campaign a rogue stack of chaos, orcs vampires and skaven have already destroyed most of the old world on turn 60. It's like I've rocked up to a party four hours late and everyone's shitfaced and all the furniture is broken. Hey so ah, any more of that evil left? Nah man we already did all the evil, sorry.

I really just want a mod similar to radious where beastmen become self sufficient after awhile. Some buildings give money, some give replenishment. That way you are not dependent on moon phases but they are still a bonus.

Cool mod though for a HE playthough at least, I still need to try one. The mod works for the ai currently, but I don't know enough about how it decides what to recruit etc. to know if it makes the ai Helves more or less successful. Probably less as garrisons are generally weaker. I'm more likely to bloat it with stuff like making militia cheaper to recruit but much higher upkeep (since you're taking them away from their trades), and making White Lions better to match the tabletop and their now fellow tier 3 infantry choices than I am to expand it to factions I don't play or know much about. Plus there's a whole bunch of special settlement types (occupied landmarks, norsca outposts) that I didn't touch due to the sheer volume of variations in the files. Individualising the Phoenix, Griffon, Unicorn and Eagle gates like it mentions in the army books might be worth doing, they seem to be separate entries in the files (with reams of alternates for untainted, skaven, vampire garrisons etc.)

I'm starting to see why people have issues with some of the overhaul mods. I wish they were more modular with some kind of special menu on the loading screen breaking down the mods into the following categories: Units Lord/Hero Skills Research Skins Maps So an overhaul mod itself could get 'taken apart' so that you could keep some things, leave others stock, and change other things with a second or third mod. Since none of the mods would have conflicting maps/skills/units they could all dovetail together. The reason I want this is because personally I like most of the changes SFO makes, however while it now covers the new races I'm not sure if they went back and updated or modified any of the original Lord skills. The foundation update made some good changes to Lords, and I could definitely see a mod that kept some of the better ideas but added its own flavor, particularly to take into account Heroes/Lords can now reach level 40. My ultimate goal would be to have SFO for changes to units and new generic lords, one of the newer mods for the actual Lord and Hero skills, Brutal Battles and GCCM map pack. Right now the latter two (generally) work well together, as Brutal Battles helps with pathing for unique maps. I know SFO will work with them, but I want more updated skill and research trees. One final note: It is much more flexible from a player perspective to find some way to classify units in more general categories (not sure if this already happens). So for example a Lord skill that gives all Halberd units some bonus would not just affect Halberdiers, it would also affect Halberd Demigriffs and Emperor's Foot units.

I play dwarfs in mp and always have a unit of long guns pointed at my own arty waiting for skaven clanrat or flyer bullshit. I can them the windscreen wipers. Against Norsca I basically bank on cannons killing anything bigger than a human before it hits the line.
