I predict Khateps start is going to be fairly unfun until the Norsca fix. Though I suppose you could play full wanderer mode and focus on hunting the books. Just ignore the endless barbarian spam up north. South Lustria is going to be such a goddamn knife-fight.

How do you get so many enemy units tied up on a single hero? I've been afraid to run my heroes in front of my line because whenever the enemy lords do that I just fill them with projectiles and they die real fast.

Typically if there are two enemy units fairly close together and you charge between them they'll clump around your guy. The ld penalty for getting hit by artillery is pretty good and you can often hit guys in both units with each shot, which demoralizes both of them. And the second one of them routs the other is sure to follow since there's a ld penalty for allies routing which causes a cascade effect.

I've had Tyrion tank entire armies before, with my 6-8 units of spearmen hanging out nearby just in case. I should probably upgrade them to seaguard so they do more than sip tea as they watch..

Running a non-melee character like an assassin or sorceress into combat and then firing Dread Conduit when they're all clumped up around the character is hilarious. It can wipe a couple of infantry units.

Lords typically have a good amount of armor and missile resist. Tyrion also has a shield I believe which helps. Then there's the fact that missiles are not 100% accurate so a fair number will miss, particularly if he's not on a mount and thus has a small hit box.

Note that it's not really a good reason to not be mounted because at some point you're gonna get chain knocked down by monsters/other Lords/etc which is why unmounted melee monsters like Grimgor aren't actually that scary late game/in MP.

Arglebargle III posted:Here's a weird one: I confederated Morathi but I can't find her. She's not on my army list or in my recruitable lords. I'm playing von carstein rn and had the opportunity to confederate VCs after they got punched in the mouth real good by a bunch of losses to the dwarfs in a single turn. Except mannfred got wounded, so I could only nab the other two. Pretty annoying, as that seems like the only time they're willing to confed is when they're losing hard. Is there a mod that disables this "feature"?

Are there any good mods to fix the Chaos Invasion? I've found a good Norsca nerf one pending the update, but I hear the Chaos Invasion is still awful and player-targeted despite CA's claims at fixing it.

I've found a good Norsca nerf one pending the update, but I hear the Chaos Invasion is still awful and player-targeted despite CA's claims at fixing it. From what ive gathered this seems like a good team up of mods for that purpose: Experimental Chaos Invasion This turns the chaos invasion into the same one seen in Warhammer 1, based on turns rather than ones secret imperium levels. It does however reset the chaos play behaviour to target only the player and so you need the second mod. 00 No Anti Avoid Player This minos mod removes the anti-player trait, you know that rear end in a top hat thing where the AI ignores everything and just goes straight for the player which should make the chaos invasion target everything equally, among other things.

Mzbundifund posted:How do you use the mortar to really rack up kills like you describe? It seems like it gets 4-5 shots off, enough to damage but not rout a single unit of slow infantry, and then they all wad up in melee with your guys and you can't shoot at them anymore without taking a ton of friendly fire. Sure you can use it to attack archers at that point, but couldn't the Reiksguard also do that? The archers can't shoot back while attacked by cavalry, but they can while being attacked by mortars. Other people answered it but yes, use attack ground just right behind the enemy melee as it fights and your shots will tend to land right on them. With decent positioning, you can have two or more melee units tie up more than their numerical equivalent since the enemy AI tends to blob up. Don't get carried away though, it's good enough at sending dudes at your flanks. Keep some melee units in reserve and your Lord closeby to keep morale steady. Also, I prefer to shoot back against enemy ranged units with my own, and then move to flank the enemy blobs. Basically I'm a believer in ranged superiority, since melee units tend to kill slower than ranged units do. Hence my preference for Empire, Dwarf, and Skaven. Dwarf Lords are also one of the tankiest characters in the game; they'll tie up non-AP infantry for ridiculously long, time enough for your Irondrakes to get some serious killing in.

I kind of thought in Warhammer the skull was the equivalent of the square in real-world art. Just an unremarkable artistic baseline so ubiquitous as to be practically unnoticable except as a starting point around which other aesthetic embellishment could be centered.

In this case im thinking this conversation, held by two skeletons, would just end up with two shrugs and one saying "I mean.. thats just what we are now Remoteph." Then they would go back to standing absolutely still staring into the sand dunes.

As for the Vortex, probably anywhere.

"Clan Rictus are purposely not shown and will be shown later on." - CA Grace It would be cool if they added Crookback Lair but I'm doubtful. Tretch has the trait that allows him to settle in winter climates, so I imagine he's close to Naggarond or Norsca?

How the gently caress are you meant to be the Balthazar Gelt 12 minute mission? "Take the big slow army with lots of good defensive infantry and shooting, and attack/rout a huge force of heavily-armored cavalry in 1/5 the time you get for a normal battle." Do I just scrap Gelt's entire army and fill it with Outriders?

So uh were the Asur gates set up only to stop Druuchi invasions? The eastern side of Ulthuan is really hard to defend during rituals due to the impassable mountain range, which sucks. In comparison to what came before, the final battle was a piece of cake.

Now that it's time for the third ritual the other three factions have all called interventions on each other and at least two of them are spread so thin by confederation that at least one of their ritual sites are ruined and Chaos might take another from Mazda Monday. Yeah, the secret for the Vortex campaign is to build tall, and ignore everything else.
