I'm 25 turns into my Settra campaign and now the game is hard crashing every time I try to end turn. Specifically when the knights of Origo try to take their turn the game dies.

Hey Gejnor, do you have any plans for a TK review of yours?

(if you are thinking of something already hooray :buddy: )

Well, i did make this mod a day after launch, it buffs the nehekharan lore attribute, the healing passive:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1279780960

Not exactly a TK rebalance though. For that i am considering minor stuff like making the summonable Ushabti you get at the end of the Realm of Souls stuff to be non-degradeable, so they last a bit longer.

Maybe add in Carrion in one of the redline skills so they too feel a bit better..

Honestly, TK's in the campaign feel quite solid even if they have a weak start in many cases.

Someone brought this up earlier but re: Dwarf campaign nerfs, I've been getting strangely terrible auto-resolve odds with my stacks against the Greenskins (even though I trounce them in actual battles). It might be the auto-resolve mod I'm using though.

Chariots are loving amazing and when you get them for free and then put them with Settra or a chariot lord it's just gravy town. The ranged ones own because I line them up to shoot people or rides circles then when you see a weakend bit of the formation you hit it and drive along

People really saying TK need a buff? Yeah you start slow, but you get a max tier unit which will win you almost any battle (at least the cat or titan). By turn 60 you have 3 full stacks with no upkeep, even if you still only control your starting province! Once you steam roll a couple more provinces so you can add some more elite units, you're completely out of control (which is fine, all factions can get OP in the right hands about that time).

The skeles NEED to be crap because they're free and unlimited. Expend as many as you need, then fill back up for free. Can recruit from the global queue for free as well so 9 skeles in 2 turns potentially! I much prefer it to the Vamps who replace chaff infantry entirely after a couple large battles, never looking back. Doesn't seem right.

So what am I meant to do about Kroq-Gar as the tomb kings?

The actual good solutions have been mentioned already, but here's a weird one: just wait until he gets a mount, then trash him with Khalida.

I spent a good while today throwing Khalida on her snake against every other lord in the game, because she's such a weird duelist that I was compelled to figure out what was going on with her. As mentioned earlier in the thread, her charge on the snake is crazy, to the point where she wins handily against almost every unmounted non-monstrous lord in the game, with a few weird exceptions.

Khalida versus unmounted Kroq-gar is hilarious. He’ll run after her, she’ll charge him, and a decent amount of the time he’ll do his leaping spear-stab right as they impact. Being in the air changes his physics, so when he gets hit, Khalida will swat him about 40 feet away - far enough that he has time to stand up, dust himself off, and charge her again. The fight takes forever: they just trade charges over and over for so long that Kroq-gar’s cooldowns recharge multiple times, and even though he gets the worse end of the charge most of the time, she can’t do anything to his Leadership and he eventually wears her down. Weirdly, if you put Kroq-gar on a Cold One, he actually loses: the fight goes much faster because they’re not trading charges, allowing Khalida’s poison to take a toll since his abilities don’t recharge fast enough to save him. Even on Grymloq, it’s closer than it is on foot, although Kroq-gar does win that fight.

Charge Defense is huge against Khalida in general. Skarsnik of all people will actually beat her consistently thanks to that. Settra, Tyrion, Archaon, and to a lesser extent Grimgor and Sigvald all fare well despite being infantry; Tyrion and Sigvald in particular seem to recover from knockdowns quickly and "track" her movements better than other lords, allowing them to actually land hits on the circle-strafing snake. But with the exception of Kroq-gar's Cold One or the shitshows that are Great Eagle / Manticore mounts, once a lord is on a mount and thus immune to her knockdown charge spam, they've got her number.

Already on 11, but thanks. Based on searching around for similar issues, it looks like it's something to do with AI empires trying to initiate an invalid diplomacy request or something and is specific to Warhammer 2. You can fix it by doing some diplo related thing with said faction when you reload your autosave since it changes up what they'll do during their turn, but if it's an empire you have no contact with on the other side of the map you're boned.

Seems rare, at least.

I got a question, I found out if you recruit a lord or hero who gives +5 relations with every faction and then ditch them, they will continue to give you +5 since they are sitting on the bench.

Will a lord who gives +unit capacity or a hero full of canopic jar traits or passives also give those when sitting on the bench?

I like to leave my first dynasty research on 1 turn remaining, then switch to a second one. Finishing them both back to back on turn 26 and 27 or so lets you have 3 stacks (of mostly chaff) a bit sooner that way.

So, what exactly do Tomb Kings do against heavily armored elite halberds? only turn 50 but Malekith is pumping out entire infantry blocks of rank 5 Blackguards of Naggarond, the auto resolves are vastly in their favor and playing the battles out aren't any better.

Do I just want to ambush malekith with 3+ tomb king stacks and hope the blackguards reach their preset kill limit and shut down?

I got a truce out of him, but I feel like if he ever re-focuses on me, I should pack up everything and have khatep sail to the badlands to start fresh.

You got a choice of anti infantry or armor piercing and sadly none of your range falls into that unless you are using dog head bows.

Your infantry can't do it so your choices are run them down with snake cav or use sphinxes.

What if each tier of the realm of souls unlocked a summon, starting with something lovely and progressing to ushtabi? Say some spearguys, warriors, tombguard, and then finally ushtabi? Idk if that's already been suggested or not.

I said gently caress it to settra void campaign and went full in to my khalida ME campaign and it's so much better. I peaced with the Dino's to the south and have been stomping all over orcs like grapes in wine season. At lvl12 she has all her good initial archer buffs and with 8 archers behind rows of spearguys the orcs are mostly dead by the time they hit my lines, at which point a prince, khalida and a unit of ushtabi are on cleanup while the spearguys just try not to let anyone through.

The AP damage + physical protect buffs from the priest are really what makes this work though. It's literally the only way I'm able to take out lords without focus firing them to death, all of the other melee lords feel like they could easy smash mine into the ground.

While i dont hate this idea, it is rather more complicated than just making sure the Ushabti you get is more useful.

Question about diplomacy in Settra campaign- Ive been doing alright and taking over a lot of the desert and have my Numas neighbors to the east completely surrounded. We have all possible treaties and ive bern gifting them every turn for a while now. We are “Trusted Friends” and I overpower them strength wise but its impossible to get them to submit. The bastards even started war with the TKs that are taking over the other half of the desert which really hosed me over. I even own the Springs of Eternal Life, one of their settlements, but even with our diplomacy rating over 200 and tons of succesful military ops with eachother they refuse to become a vassal.

Being an ally torpedoes chances of them submitting to vassalhood, as well as having actual armies on the field. Typically vassalage only happens through either force or sheer desperation by a faction that's on the verge of getting destroyed.

re: TK "sucking"

Aren't you guys way too touchy about taking casualties? I think that is the issue here. I am not giving a single gently caress about losing skeletal warriors in ridiculous moshpits while managing chariots/heroes/monsters into positions of maximum damage. Granted, red skills are IMHO absolutely essential for best effect, but the point is don't give a single gently caress about skelly casualties and perhaps it will be much more enjoyable

If you're willing to wait a very long time you could shave off a lot of time by doing this with all of the dynasties. I hope you like using canopic jars for extra armies, though.

Well if you're pushing into an enemy territory, fighting an army and then trying to attack a city, quite often you'll have lost so much of your chaff fighting the army that you have to back into your own territory and refill back up but I agree, the skeletons being poo poo isn't too much of a problem, they do what they need to do and you can get them all back really quickly but I can see it being annoying in some situations, Lizardmen especially since against them I feel the skeletons wouldn't even be a minor speed bump against Saurus and your other units wouldn't be able to make the difference.

The very strict unit caps, expensive and late tier buildings are kind of what's making the TKs a bit underwhelming personally. I think the people suggesting the various lords and heros having individual unit cap bonuses would be a pretty good option. Or maybe just making it so the cap is per army? Like the Ushabti building would let you have an Ushabti per army rather than 1 total? For all the other factions, you build a building and then you can put as many of that unit into as many armies as you want forever, obviously costing gold. The TKs bonus is they don't cost gold at all but the limits are so incredibly small and the buildings so expensive that it doesn't feel like much of a bonus.

Im pretty sure its working, you dont need a specific animation to get some extra stat bonuses after all, its just that Slayers got some extra treatment from CA to make it look even cooler.

In other news i did this:



Values: Normal rally heals for 50% of what the upgraded rally does, the upgraded rally has the same healing values as vanilla, just that i can also resurrect units now. The names seemed to imply that this is what its supposed to do and i figured hey that sounds fun!

I'm not convinced another 3 recruitment slots across your entire faction is that big of a deal. It is nice, sure, but broken is a bit of a stretch when you are talking about Tomb King units.

Compared to the T4 settlement mod it has hardly any impact on TK balance.
