I thought the blobbing was intentional and part of the Skaven AI for a long time, since it makes them just wriggle all over the drat place in a gross ratty way

One of the most necessary mods is the one that removes a good chunk of their background income so that you aren't playing a minor faction versus the God Emperor Surtha Ek by turn 50.

Starting a Mortal Empires campaign with the high elves, with the aim of creating a world police to help out the "good" factions. What's the best use for high elf agents, making money at home or attaching them to armies?

Have an 'administrator' wandering round reducing building costs, especially in unfavourable climates since they reduce build times too, a rando mage stealing tech from the nearest enemy and the rest a couple of 'entrepeneurs' stacking in your richest province. High Elves have two hero classes, so put Loremasters in your armies, preferably with the healing trait, which means you can have your nobles out getting influence instead of healing your armies.

While it's pretty neat that they changed the positive campaign bonuses provided by heroes to be passive, it's kind of annoying that the game is getting mad at me for not moving my income and corruption generating guys around even though I just want them to sit in one spot for the rest of their lives.

You can disable the end-of-turn warnings like "hero hasn't moved" or "you're sieging without equipment" and so on with the little cogwheel button next to end turn

peer posted:You can disable the end-of-turn warnings like "hero hasn't moved" or "you're sieging without equipment" and so on with the little cogwheel button next to end turn Issue being that you might want the notification for other roaming heroes, like tech-stealers. Last game I hated agents in part bc I'd forget about them for turns on end. Also, do factions succeed/fail based on who the player is at all? I'm dorfs on VH and the Empire is civil warring while the vamps just focused on Zhufbar and all the other dwarfs got slaughtered. Wurrzag has conquered the BP and is moving north. I like it since my last WH1 dwarf run saw Barak Varr and the BP steamroll all of the Badlands by like turn 40, but it's definitely nothing like my non-dwarf ME runs. I guess me being the player and not getting massive ai boosts helps. Is there anywhere to actually check what the victory conditions are? All's I know is "kill bad guy factions, get or ally a bunch of capitals" For all the QoL improvements there are a few huge let-downs. The camera settings are the worst though, why not save them from game-to-game? At least the ally/enemy/neutral ones and the player units' move speed. Also the faster end-turn panning mod needs to be patched in. I pity anyone who doesn't have it. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Dec 17, 2017 |

I still think the best fix would be to let heroes garrison something.

There's also a tab there for minor objectives that you can get a little extra money for meeting when you meet the chapter objective.

I think that AI faction success is mostly determined by AI personality traits, and from what I understand different factions have trait pools that they can draw a random selection from, while other traits are fixed. I don't think that the traits change based on the player's faction, though.

I find all the campaign map agent stuff incredibly tedious. I just use them as battlefield units and if they have good passives that happen to trigger elsewhere great but I'm not going to spend time moving them about to take advantage of it.

Agents are and have always been a tedious waste in every TW title. Yet CA keeps putting them in there. Must be a British thing, they are enamored with tedium perhaps. Agents are awful, but heroes on the other hand <3

The no aggressive action agents mod exists, and agents are dumb and tedious. Last thread this was apparently an unpopular opinion and I do not know why.

Sorry, that just popped into my head. But offensive agent actions are basically an unfun RNG mechanic, and while you can skew the probabilities you don't really have much input into it.

I find agents are way better this time round, but yeah I'd prefer heroes on the battlefield and maybe some espionage screen similar to diplo if they want to add wall smashing/steal tech/ etc. Assassination I could just drop altogether, especially in TWW where everyone you'd want to assassinate just respawns in like four turns and teleports to the stack closest to the front. Also, this is getting ridic. Mannfred has THREE stacks marching on Mount Gunbad and gives no shits about conquering the Empire. Go away you prick. Luckily the fact that movement is so slow there + he constantly raids his way up to avoid attrition means it's easy to reinforce in time. Meanwhile the Empire-Nordland hellwar continues, and in a super cool cinematic moment, Belegar has shown up in the south to help beat up orcs. This campaign is good and after this marathon sesh it's Star Wars time. Good sunday, good channukah. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Dec 17, 2017 |

They should just separate heroes from agents, and make agents a faction office instead of an actual model. They already cost money, so just make it cost X fantasy bux to attempt to burn a wall down or whatever.

High Elves have two hero classes, so put Loremasters in your armies, preferably with the healing trait, which means you can have your nobles out getting influence instead of healing your armies. Administrator is wildly overpowered in the early and mid game because it stacks additively. Three administrator mages with the -10% build commandment in a province makes every single building in that province build in one turn, completely free. Tier 5 unique buildings? One turn, free. Level 5 dragon roost? One turn, free. You can also put your three mages in one province, queue all your builds, then move them to the next province over and queue all your builds in the same turn. You can develop your provinces at an alarming rate this way while saving hundreds of thousands of gold, and once your core provinces are shining megalopolises you can simply either ship the mages off to fight in stacks or ship them off to your frontline to rapidly develop that. You can even rapidly build in red climate with the admin trio because the build time reduction is % based. It's really, really, really insanely broken. Late game, when you're done expanding, Entrepreneur becomes much better because Administrator is only valuable while you have buildings to build.
